is with respect to the construction of the dakota access pipeline. dakota access pipeline. again, subject to terms and conditions to the negotiated by us. this is construction of pipelines in this country. amy: trump's move sparked a numberer of emergency protests last night in washington, new york, los angeles, san francisco, seattle, philadelphia, and other cities. native american groups and their supporters have long opposed the dakota access pipeline being laid a mile from the standing rock sioux reservation and beneath the tribe's primary source of drinking water. the standing rock sioux tribe tweeted -- "trump's executive order on #dapl violates the law and tribal treaties. we will be taking legal action." the tribe added, "creating a second flint does not make america great again." the dakota access project would carry up to 570,000 barrelels of oil a day from north dakota to illilinois. the keystone pipipeline wowould transport 830,000 barrels of crude every y day from alberta's oil sands s to refineries on the u.s. gulf coast for export. trump's move comes as scien

the dakota access pipeline, this is the dakota pipeline, the standing rock indian reservation that we have been talking about in northern south dakota. there is the map for you. several columns are talking about this. "usa today." the executive director of euro , thehas an executive piece headline, "we will keep fighting these dirty projects." the environmental review of the these access pipeline, are the facts and they cannot be changed by signing a paper. if you want to read his column or the editorial board of usa in tyler, texas, a republican. good morning. >> good morning. i want to make a couple of comments. i believe we want to try and become energy independent. we do not need to be buying oil from saudi arabia. whatever helps this country create jobs, from manufacturing to engineering to refining, we can ship out amounts of oil to become the energy independent. now there are pipelines samently running in the path. underground.m the dakota pipeline is coming from canada. now, oil and water comes from the ground. i think it is a safer alternative, other than having it trucked in

there have an oil spill in north dakota. i think proponents of the oil pipeline argue that moving oil via pipeline is safer than rail or truck. that is a legitimate concern and a lot of people are concerned about that. it is reaching the court. we will see how it plays out but that is part of the environmental review. the 20th thousand jobs, the number of jobs with the number ofipeline, the jobs with keystone has been in dispute for a while. guest: it is hard to nail down exactly how many jobs. you have a spectrum being cited. tens of thousands by some of the proponents. there is a state department report that puts it closer to 4000 full-time permanent jobs, and activists are claiming there are only going to be 50 people that need to mend the pipeline. it is all over the map and hard to nail down. dakota access, also controversial and hard to nail down. they said the project already generated 12,000 jobs. sometimes temporary diskette -- construction. host: paul, democrats line. good morning. signingi believe this mr. trump d

in north dakota, the standing rock sioux tribe say they will also continue their fight against a dakota access line because they say it threatens drinking water and runs under sacred lands. dakota access will carry oil to a shipping point in illinois. remember, the reason president obama next to the pipelines in 202016 is because he wanted america to lead the fight against climate change and felt building pipelines would not have been putting our money where our mouth is. the new administration clearly has a different take. watch. speak of the president's actions today will create tens of thousands of new jobs for the american workers and move us greater towards energy independence. at the same time, ensuring that we keep the environment as a top priority. >> president trump also signed an executive order compelling the pipeline companies to use a u.s. steel to build the lines. the canadian builder how to said it would use about 65% of its

this is the other one, the dakota access pipeline. bismarck north dakota near cannon ball. it is adjacent to the sioux reservation. the fear here is the threaten again to the water supply. people have been protesting this. very recently did the federal government, the army corps of engineers say they are not granting aprol for this. this is a reversal of that decision and that has a lot of native groups and environmentalists upset. they have hurdles it is not a given these pipelines will be build but hurdles have been removed. >> i want to get two perspective on the executive orders supporting those pipelines. first jack gerard, president and ceo of the petroleum group. he supports the keystone xl and the dakota access pipelines. did you know this was coming? ali suggested it was obvious, that president trump campaigned on the issue and promised to do this. did you know it was coming? had you been in touch with the white house. >> president trump has been talking sometime now about his focus on jobs and job creations in the united states. he identified the pipelines as two

the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. ms. heitkamp: i come here today again on what is a sad day and really a sad week for law enforcement in north dakota, for the community of turtle mountain band of kilpatrickpewa -- chippewa and certainly the family of colt eugene allery. colt was a deputy in the rolette county sheriff's office who lost his life last week in the line of duty. colt joined in a high-speed chase with several fellow officers wednesday evening after a report of an identification of a stolen vehicle. as the stolen vehicle was coming to a forced stop, shots were fired and the call came over the radio that shakes all of north dakota law enforcement and our entire state to the core, officer down. colt never got back up that evening, succumbing to his injuries not very far from the small community where he grew up. he leaves behind five beautiful young children, including his stepdaughter, his fiancee alexandria and his grandparents gene and rita allery who raised him, his family, his friends and a community that wi

on keystone and dakota access this morning, you said you would we negotiate some of the terms.rms? i think one of the things the american people like about donald trump is he is a successful businessman and negotiator. as he looks at these deals he is trying to make sure that these projects will create jobs and help the economy but in many cases they will make these organisations a lot of money. he wants to make sure the american taxpayer gets the best deal possible. so he's asking his tea m deal possible. so he's asking his team to review those deals and make sure if we're going to do all these things to expedite these projects, that goal over a piece of us soil, that goal over a piece of us soil, that the american taxpayer is considered and we have the best deal in terms ofjobs and economic growth and energy security and also in terms of making sure the taxpayer who owns some lands or access to them, get the best deal possible. the march for life is on friday as you know. george w bush had a tradition of addressing marchers through a phone call. will the president continue th

the dakota access, much of it has been built.ob creation that would come from that probably is not going to be significant. there could be according to the state department about 4000 construction jobs for one year or two years for the keystone pipeline and several tens of thousands of ancillary jobs that would come out of that. neither pipeline creates significant long-term jobs. keystone, according to transcanada, would create about 35 long-term jobs and the same roughly four to go to access. for dakota access. d stock inmp owne transcanada. both of them have stalled that -- sold that stock. vonnie: why was there such a delay? president obama was avoiding trying to make a decision one way or another on this. we are looking at pictures in the oval office moments ago following the signing of the executive orders. >> things happen. people who work opposed to the use of carbon fuels did not want more carbon fuels coming to market. that was a big argument on the environmental sidea larg reason the president blocked he's done. the ot

if completed, the 1100-mile pipeline would carry oil from north dakota through south dakota, iowa and illinois. it's almost finished, except for an 1100-foot portion yet to be built under the missouri river south of bismarck, also near an important water source for the standing rock sioux and other tribes. trump's directive orders the army corps of engineers to take all actions necessary and appropriate, to review and approve in an expedited manner. requiredast track the environmental impact, it could go to court. >> there is an obsession by the media. soledad: in politics, do the facts still matter? consider this between the press and the white house in the first days of the trump presidency. kellyanne conway, counselor to the president, defending white house press secretary sean spicer's statement on the size of inauguration crowds as the largest ever. >> sean spicer our press secretary gave alternative facts to that. soledad: spicer himself took on the media's reporting of numbers from crowd estimate experts. >> these attems to lessen the enthussm of the inauguraton are shameful an

you are 93% there, with dakota. and i think the president has shown through his business life that he knows how to negotiate great deal where parties come out ahead and he is willing to sit down with all the individuals involved in the dakota pipeline to make sure it is a deal that benefits all the parties of interest or at least get something that we want. mart? >> margot or margaret. >> margaret. >> lets. >> one at a time. >> stick with the ms. >> i wanted to follow up on steve's question about the pipeline and the renegotiation. the president i think suggested some of these renegotiations might already be happening or that they would start happening. i'm wondering if you can clarify are the mechanisms set? have the discussions already begun? >> he just signed the executive order today. part of it is as he moves these things forward he wants to get the best deal for the american tax payer and wants to work with the parties involved to make sure people would are concerned might have the opportunity to come back to

this is with respect to the construction of the dakota access pipeline. dakota access pipeline. again, subject to terms and conditions to be negotiated by us. okay. this is construction of pipeline in this country. we are, and i am, very insistent that if we're going to build pipelines in the united states, the pipes should be made in the united states. so unless there's difficulties with that, because companies are going to have to save europe, much pipeline is built from other countries, from now on we're going to start making pipeline in the united states. we build it in the united states, we build the pipelines, we want to build the pipes. going to put a lot of workers, a lot of skilled workers back to work. > all right, we will build our own pipeline, we will build our own pipes. that's what it has to do with. like we used to, in the old days. this is about streamlining the incredibly cumbersome, long, horrible, permitting process and reducing regulatory burdens for domestic manufacturing, many of the people that we've been meeting with over the last long period of time, bu

we're losing a lot of population, rural areas of south dakota. but the thing that's amazing to me about that is when i was growing up, i literally, my life began and ended at the city limits, you know? if we went anywhere, it was typically to pierre, the closest large town, 10,000 people, but they had a taco john's and a movie theater, so all the essentials. but my dad, who is 97 years old, stilllies in the little town -- still living in in the little town i grew up in, house i grew up in. because of the internet, he's connected to the world. my dad cruises around web sites, and he mails family members. we've even connected him with netflix. i don't think he uses it much, but, you know, there are just ways in which there's so many things that are transforming the way we live in providing enormous opportunities to people all across this country. these are huge changes, they're making our world better, more prosperous, and they're only made possible because of advancements in how data is shared and transmitted online. and that evidence, as i said,

to spend extended amount of time in south dakota, summer is is a good time to do it. will you will have about 8 inches of snow tomorrow. by the way, being the fastest person in congress, i always tell people it's kind of like being the best surfer in kansas. it's a nice title to have but it really doesn't mean very much. i think tom is probably past that one up. i do appreciate the opportunity to be with you today. it's amazing, we are starting the third decade of the internet. it is no longer novel, but it is an essential technology that continues to transform the world around us often and very unexpected ways. i would be willing to bet that people in this room, back in the 1990s when 90s when we were talking about america online, the worldwide web, never never thought that we would see combines and tractors having internet operating within them. it's truly remarkable for those who don't spend much time on farms, just to see what wireless connectivity has done to farm equipment in making agriculture much more efficient. in fact, if you get into a cockpit, if you get

i'm speaking to the cases we've been seeing here in north dakota and the fight against the dakota access pipeline. i think this is the state of north dakota seeing native people, indigenous people, rising up, speaking their voices, speaking to their issues, and really talking about protecting their communities. and the state taking the next step of state repression and to try to limit those voices, people taking to the streets. it's absurd. >> there's something obscene about the idea of native people who have already had so much of their land confiscated, have been treated so shabbily, now to be allowed to be hit with a car and killed, it's pretty stunning. brittany, it isn't just native american people. you as a part of the black lives matter matter movement, the blocking of traffic, this is a tactic that dates back decades. in indiana, you now have a republican lawmaker introducing a bill that would direct police to use any means necessary to break up mass gatherings that block traffic. and there are, as we said, at least ten states that are considering these kinds of bills. what do yo

on dakota, the army corps of engineers was ordered to review and approve in an expedited manner. either pipeline's approval could still take months or years. the standing rock sioux tribe has fought the pipeline construction, saying it crosses what they call "traditional tribal land." >> the whole world is watching you. >> reporter: it might lead to a catastrophic leak in the missouri river. >> we have to start building awareness. >> reporter: chairman dave archambault ii says his efforts to reach out to the new administration were ignored. were you surprised at this move? >> i wasn't surprised. i figured that he was going to try to do something, because i know what drives this man. it's all about money. >> reporter: these activists vow to stay here and block the pipeline. mr. trump owned up to $50,000 of stock in the company building the pipeline. a spokesman said he sold it last year, but, scott, we won't know that for sure until he files financial disclosure statements in may of 2018. >> barry petersen in north dakota. barry, thank you. >>> coming up next, what did the preside

and both of those issues come together in the instance of the dakota access pipeline. it was rerouted out of more affluent and politically connected community as well as the fact that it contributed to global warning continuing whether or not it is removed from the web page it is still happening. we have i believe more responsibility both to the people and to the survive billity for the next generations to take action. >> would you be okay if it was reouted that native americans are concerned about. >> the rerouting is what president trump suggests. but it threatens the water supplies of thousands, i think rely focuses us on how destructive it is and we can create more jobs doing sustainable energy like wind and solar and electric vehicles and improving the public transit, they create more jobs per dollar than these kinds of projects that also are bad for our health. >>> the oil industry is cheering, protestors are gearing up for another round of demonstrations. do you think that demonstrations can do anything to stop these projects now from moving forward? >> i do thi

tom daschle did not go home to south dakota. he did that lobbying thing that all congressional leaders seem to do the instant they are legally required to do so. but despite the way that republicans have forced him out of office, tom daschle stayed a big deal in democratic politics and he made some very shrewd moves because politically he's a very smart guy. as george w. bush finished his second term as democrats started to think about who was going to run in 2008, there was some noise that maybe tom daschle would make a run for president. that said, losing your last election in your home state is not an awesome platform from which to launch a presidential campaign. just ask rick santorum. so those early feelers that he might run for president in 2008, those were soon retracted. he announced in late 2006 that he would not be making a run for president himself. but then very soon there after, february 2007, he came out for barack obama. he came out as an early and very high-profile supporter of this one-term illinois senator. rig

because of that decision today about the dakota access pipeline and keystone, today we saw protests, basically spontaneous protests at the white house in washington, d.c. also in new york city. people protesting up at columbus circle and near trump tower. given the size of these protests in the past, the anti-keystone protests that happened in the country but mainly in d.c., the huge protests about keystone, given the enormous dakota access pipeline protests that stunned north dakota this past year after native americans took the lead in protesting that pipeline even into the bitter winter months on the north dakota plains, given the size of the protests that these two projects have attracted in the past, expect this action by the new president to resurrect them today, expect those -- that action to create an unequal and very opposite reaction that will likely be a sustained protest campaign to add to the other sustained protest campaigns that seem to be gearing up against this new and very unpopular president. the opposition to the keystone pipeline alone in nebraska alone i think t

the dakota access pipeline is a little trickier.t goes near and through aquifers and near lands of native americans. when donald trump was elected, you knew he was going to approve them. >> you know who was not at the car makers, honda -- >> it a strange issue because under nafta, a car is determined to be made domestically if a certain percentage of it is made in canada, mexico or the united states. it doesn't matter if you're based in the united states or not. for some reason, donald trump, possibly because the big three tend to manufacture more cars in the unionized north than the other companies you talk about, which tend to manufacture cars in the non-unionized south, donald trump has been more interested in dealing with the big three, ford, gm and fiat/chrysler, a dutch company of italian origin. he's sort of asking them what is it you need to build more cars here? you heard mark fields from ford come out and say he was quite pleased that donald trump pulled out of tpp because the biggest problem for car makers is other countr
