this was a big deal senate race, because tom daschle was running for reelection. he was bush's enemy number one, his opponent was recruited by karl rove. no senate leader had lost in 50 years. in that election, a group of, out of nowhere, a group of conservative political blogs, immaculately named to cover the race, they came up and hammered daschle nonstop. they transitioned eventually into pushing conspiracy theories. we published this lock muster scoop, like, siren emojis, it was on the drudge report, that tom daschle had a secret deal with the native american population that if the native american population delivered enough votes, daschle would return the black hills to them. which is something that should happen. it is their land that was stolen. but far beyond the power of one senator to do, so it is clearly not true. at first i dismissed it, like, who is reading these idiotic blogs? no one who matters. but all of a sudden he's undecided voters are reading back to me what they are hearing in here. and what we learned leader on was that our opponent, the rep

senate majority leader was tom daschle. anybody remember tom daschle from south dakota? most people think south dakota is super conservative. it is. it has more republicans than democrats, but it is very populist. want to remind you of the environment i am in, because most people say you will not have a problem. you were going to win easy. you have so many republicans. i will win. i will remind you, i always win. whatever i run for. but -- but i only won my last race for governor by three points against a bernie sanders guy. so that tells you a little bit about the environment of south dakota and the political environment we are in here in south dakota. i think i did what every other governor in this country did during the pandemic. we all studied the virus, we did our research, we talked to experts, looked at other countries as the virus hit, as he came into the united states, we looked at states, how they were handling their caseload. i think what i did differently was i spend a lot of time with my general counsel, with constitutional attorneys. i wanted to understand

senator was tom daschle. he was the majority leader in the senate and was from south dakota and i was at a lot of his meetings. he ended up appointing me to a board that oversaw the federal farm programs in the state so i was involved in policy and showing up with different people and people started to ask me to consider running for the state legislature. you know, it was interesting because asking my family they thought, well, that's strange. nobody's done that before, but, in our state the legislature meets for 40 days a year. you go in in january and you balance the budget, pass bills and then go back home and back to your jobs, and it wasn't that big of a commitment outside of session, and we figured we would try it. if it worked, then everything would be okay. i did that, got elected. and ran for leadership right away and served as the assistant majority leader in the house. that's when a lot of the pressure start today come to run for congress which i was not interested in doing at all. in fact, people

don't know how long it took for tom daschle to get us to settle back down in our seats.biden has always been somebody who is full of emotion and full of empathy for people. that has always been there. nothing new. i don't see a difference. my hair is still my hair, it is whiter now. he has lighter hair but he is still joe biden advice hope i am still ben nelson. >> host: we are nearly, if we had another hour i would talk about other things, jeff kenny who rushed 180 yards in 71 but you are one of four governors from mc cook, nebraska, someone has to do an ethnographic study and find out what is going on in the water but let's close with the story of you and the prank on your wife in russia. >> when diane heard from friends that your room is above and they were listening to everything and she was concerned about that and there was a suggestion may be -- in the bathroom with the lights off, i told her they have night vision cameras just to get her going, she said that's not funny. we walked into the room and i said something derogatory about the russians and she pointed at

do they want the stark market daschle we hide in our homes like we did during the worst phase of covid? if we get a strong employment number tomorrow it is awful. it means the economy is getting hammered in the feds need to take away the punch bowl. some of that is legitimate science. we don't have the labor force to support the whole package. i'm not some politician. when we had 10% unemployment i came out here every night demanding more stimulus spending. the economy is overheated. government spending will have to raise interest rates even more. congress is trying to get it at the moment. we can only afford to get buzzed. you will hear the feds warned they need to take interest rates to four or even higher. follow it while you can. these guys will not shut up. congress can't stop spending. they are behind the fair market in 2022 and not the companies. certainly not you. allen, in pennsylvania? >> it's good to see you again. >> what's going on? >> i need your help. i'm down about 20% on text docs this year. i want to check if you would be a buyer a marble? >> i just said at our meetin
