thought about that a lot this week as the north dakota senate race was in the news and congressman kevin kramer made this remark about strong prairie women and the #metoo movement being a movement towards victimization, but i think the culture of the north dakota oilfield in north dakota generally is more broad in resistance to victimization. people there when you ask them about their economic situation, the struggles they've had in their life they are resisted the idea being victims are. they say i made some mistakes in my life. i could have made better choices and it's up to me to find a better job to fix my life and so that was really common theme there were nine was reporting on the oilfield and this was the biggest oil rush in modern us history when it started about a decade ago due to advances in fracking and horizontal drilling people often compared the oil rush to the california gold rush it drew people from around the nation to find work, to hide out , invest and to run from the law. people came by amtrak. they hitchhiked. some, rumor had it, took a bus straight out of prison. there wa

kevin kramer has been up about 11.4% in the real clear politics average low it looks like the democraticty is trying to pull out all the stops to make up some ground. they have been running ads on facebook saying, under alert. basically what these ads are telling voters is, if you will vote this election cycle, you may lose your out-of-state hunting license. and if you click on these ads they basically either take you to the democratic party website or a landing page on facebook that just has the logos. why this is important, the department of game and fish has reached out and it essentially said they have no idea what the democrat party north dakota is talking about in the secretary of state had said the same thing and heidi heitkamp had transferred almost $3 million to the democrat party of north dakota. so she had may be partially paid for these ads. and, the party for republicans are criticizing democrats for voter suppression. they've been under lots of fire for these ads. >> tucker: it would be pretty hard to intimidate hunters. so of all the orwellian things that i've heard recent
