fool democrat control in minnesota. the law states every individual had a fundamental right to make decisions about the individual's own reproductive health. now republicans are saying democrats are going too far, the extreme is the way this law has been worded arguing now minnesota can allow abortions up to the moment of birth. i know that -- should the state in your mind have any role in regulating around abortion restrictions? >> these are as providers will tell you 95% of the time these are normal medical decisions made in the exam room among the individual and their patient, that does not change, trying to put out a scenario like that would be a crisis at that time, isn't getting at the heart of this. minnesotans and people across this country overwhelmingly agree this is a decision made between an individual and provider that they need to have happen so they will put this out, women don't care what these guys think about this because they have made it clear they want to ban it, that was a debate we had in minnesot

governor walz: you can win minnesota and -- win minnesota with seven counties. but can you govern easily? if you only have a one-vote majority, do you know what we call that? a majority. the fact of the matter is, lasting change, the cultural change that we are in this together, we need to make an attempt. if you are going to focus on this. you can say you won 75 counties but lost by eight points. demographics are changing. i'm demographers so this pains me. whoever put up the red blue map destroyed this country. it took the nuance out of what it means to live in these areas and it became more about identity. granted, in the last election cycles, peoples identity was impacted by this. i wouldn't lead with i'm a democratic -- a democrat. i would lead with i'm estate football coach -- i must state champion football coach. host: do you think more democratic politicians should do that? governor walz: i'm part of my values, but don't go for climate change because of self actualization. go for it because it's jobs. we need to be smart on those messaging. i have progre

minnesota governor tim walz joins me now.overnor, thank you for taking the time to join me this evening. this is a really impactful moment. and it's one of the first in the nation to do so. talk to me a little bit about the reasons why, because as we know, in the minnesota supreme court, they had decided that abortion rights are in fact protected, way back in 1995. tell me why it was important to sign this legislation into law now. >> yeah, well, laura, thanks for having me. first of all, the new reality of june 24th last year, with the supreme court, we also thought roe was law of the land. and we are told in senate confirmation hearings by potential supreme court justices that was true. it proved not to be. and i'm just incredibly proud. i think the words i heard today we're proud and relieved that women, that young people, had allies across minnesota since that day in june, they said never again. that we are going to make bodily autonomy and the decisions that women make their decision to make. and this piece of legislatio

like much of the country, minnesota has had a weird winter. there has been a ton of snow, but when it comes to skating, some lakes it took six weeks longer than normal to freeze. scientist are reluctant to blame any single event on climate change, but dr. rupe is saying they do see the larger pattern. >> we are confident in saying that what we are experiencing, as a whole, in aggregate, is what we expect from climate change, and that volatility, that weirdness, if you will, is climate change. >> reporter: nationally, since 1970, winter has warmed in the pacific northwest by one degree. southern california through the middle of the country it is around 2 degrees warmer. parts of the midwest and east coast have warmed up to 5 degrees, with extreme warning in parts of new york, vermont, and northern minnesota of about 7 degrees. >> we can see, again, these patterns of concerning warming, and that is changing what winter looks like, what it feels like, and that has, then, applications for what we experience. >> reporter: concern about climate chan

john hampton reports from minnesota. deep in northern minnesota is snow covered chippewa national forest. there is a kind of time machine. stephen sebastian's job is to peer into the future. it really is a world class research facility for understanding the effects of what we expect to happen in the future. within the forest lies a plot of government land called the marcell experimental forest, where the us forest service in oregon national laboratories have built 10 silo like structures inside researchers raise the temperature from 0 to 9 degrees celsius to simulate different levels of global warming. half the chambers also add varying levels of carbon monoxide to mimic expected future increases of the greenhouse gas from human activity. then they watch what happens. it's not encouraging. the trees are not doing as well as they're doing in the and warming closures. some of them are actually dying from the conditions that are too harsh to harsh for those trees to continue to grow. that's not as bad for the trees. minnesota lies at the southern end of a peat belt that stretches into the a

they don't call minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes for nothing. and, you know, we got a lot of feedback from the community that they were worried about sulfide bearing wars being processed and the tailing is being stored in that area. again, we can't help where mother nature puts the high grade nickel deposits, but we can think about different ways with approaching killings and processing. so, what we ended up doing, and this may only result some concerns, not all concerns, about mining in that region, is our processing and failings to the drier environment and to an industrial site in north dakota. so, hopefully that idea of being a good listener and taking action on peoples concerns is something that, you know, the mining industry will adopt as a best practice, and i know i see that in nevada and other places, as well. on tribal sovereign governments and first nations, one thing that i think people should keep in mind is canada has a really interesting area of practice with first nations governments and first nations companies, not only engaging

in our area in central minnesota divert water rich environment. they do not call minister of the land of 10,000 lakes for nothing. we got a lot of feedback from the community they were worried about being processed and being stored in that area. we can't help root mother nature puts a high grade deposits but can think about different ways of approaching processing. but we ended up doing and this may only resolve some concerns on all concerned about mining in that region into an industrial site in north dakota. the idea of being a good listener and taking action on people's concerns of something than mining industry on sovereign governments and first nations, one thing people should keep in mind is canada has really interesting area of practice with first nation governments and first nation companies. not only engaging and making sure that mining is not going to negatively affect the economy or the environment. but asking for and taking a seat on the economic projects. as you tribal governments and candidate now actually taking equity stakes and pr

minnesota has higher taxes. military members don't pay taxes in minnesota. we have people moving to east grand forks, joining the minnesota guard and 300 positions open north dakota so that is another one we should put through. we've worked hard to make more to kota -- north dakota monetary friendly and exempting military retirement pay from income tax, let's keep that going and do the same for our active-duty men and women in uniform. [applause] >> in may 1974, there was a shaggy haired kid, a senior in high school in north dakota, not unlike now he was writing graduation speech at the last minute. pulled up that speech last night and on that speech, much shorter than this one, you will be happy to hear, there was a list of the world's problems. included inflation since 1974, political scandal coming out of the nixon years, pollution, overpopulation. there was an energy crisis. wars happening around the world. guess what, seemingly endless shortages. in that speech i also talked about the world of space-age technology. we were coming off of 5 years after we

the surfers in minnesota, the coldest conditions, the warmest friends.e in the world. >> reporter: when conditions are just right, 63-year-old eric wilkie and son garrett drive from danbury, wisconsin, to surf here. eric is so well known the locals have given him a nickname. >> we call him the oracle. he'll get the emails or the phone calls, "when is it happening?" >> reporter: the problem is you may not know in the day of. eric grew up in southern california where the waves are more predictable. he went to college in wisconsin, met his wife, and settled down. people have been surfing lake superior since at least the 1970s. it wasn't until the early 2000s when a film called "unsalted" was released and surfers really began to show up. even in january. when they surf in the winter, the water temperature is between 33 and 36 j ave freezi. the a tempeture can be below zero. >> the ice clings to your face in a matter of moments, and it's just so crispy. >> reporter: wet suits, gloves, and booties are a must. >> without that equipment, you've got about two min

minnesota is prepared to handle all of the snow.here are more than 800 snowplows and 1,600 drivers here in minnesota. poppy. >> all right. thanks for braving it with your crew for everyone. we will get back to you soon. >>> how are things looking in other parts of the country? chad myers, our meteorologist, joins us. 65 million people under winter alerts. what is the latest, stir? >> there is a winter storm warning for the mountains above l.a. l.a. county, ventura county, and it stretches to maine. >> this is a monster storm. 3,000 miles long if you travel the highways, shorter as the crow flies. but significant impacts across the dakotas, minnesota, wisconsin, and it's an ice event i am worried about. ice storm from north of chicago to detroit. they bring down thousands of power lines here. it's raining right now and 31 degrees in toledo. that's not a good combination. there will be areas with an inch of ice accumulation on those branches. now, i know the snow is the story, but to me the ice storm is as big of a story. 12, 14 inche

river and it would hit minnesota.e got a great relationship with minnesota. fargo, north dakota and morehead, minnesota are essentially twin cities. that helped during the pandemic and helps with higher education. we have all the things back and forth across the border. we export enormously into the bridge. for minnesota to pass legislation where electricity sold in minnesota has to come from a certain source as opposed to electricity generated, i have communicated with minnesota. i have a conversation with tim walz. i said, if your legislature changes one word, if you want to say generate, have at it. we share goals. but they are jumping into a law where one state in our republic cannot make illegal the economic activity of another state. this gets into other aspects. we held at the meeting, we appropriated $4 million of legal fees. we won the last time. we think we will win this time. we share the same goal. 90% of our state's farm. the citizens who live on our land care about our land and the air and water quality.

so from south dakota over to portions of minnesota. also this icing is going to be a huge concern moving forward. because that can make roads definitely impossible to drive on. but look at this map. we have warnings of all types. we have blizzard warnings, winter storm warnings, high wind warnings, we could see winds gusting 60 to 70 miles per hour. so this storm is stretching from coast to coast. i think the highest impacts are dwoing to be across south dakota through minneapolis. we'll see heavy snowfall and high winds. that's why those blizzard warnings are in effect. you'll see grblinding condition across those areas. significant ice accumulation, hazardous travel and possible power outages. and across california, definitely seeing huge impacts from this. so you can see the snow is in progress. it's going to pick up as we go throughout the afternoon hours into the joemp night. you can see the pink. that's icing. this is a live radar. and then snow falling. so here is the preliminary totals. . we have already seen 32 inches of snow

i think one of the reasons minnesota has come up with these things is because trans people have moved in a position of political power and they can start to make these decisions and hopefully keep options open for these parents of very young trans people. so from that standpoint i support it. >> dana: thank you so much. a lot of experimentation in the states as they wrestle with these issues and we'll cover all sides of it. good to see you. appreciate it. >> bill: before we get out of here something for you. a little something over the weekend before we go. roll it. so we have the 100 year anniversary of elder high school in cincinnati, ohio, 1923 to 2023. boomer was the guest speaker and surprised him with members of his super bowl team from 30 years ago. james brooks, offensive lineman. these guys are giants. joe walter and bruce rhymeers and david and others. it was a great night. purple friday every friday well done. job well done. >> dana: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: we begin this hour as we wait as a nation to see if china are retaliate against america fo

low temperatures expected to plunge to negative 20, negative 40 in minnesota. senior meteorologist janice dean with the forecast. i was complaining to ash, my town will be one tonight, i should be celebrating, that was the least of the ills, the coldest air in years across the northeast will move southward and eastward. below freezing, below zero in a lot of areas across minnesota and wisconsin and then there are wind chills, what it feels like, dangerous cold for the northern plains and the northeast and new england. take a look at the ice storm, that is starting to calm down. we have seen close to an inch of ice in texas up toward arkansas and you mention power outages, 258,000 without power in texas, stretching to arkansas and parts of jackson, mississippi, the state of mississippi, 15,000 without power and that will be the case for the weekend. it will take time for the power to come back on when you have damaged power lines from an ice storm. here is the arctic blast, negative 40 to negative 60 will be possible in some areas, especially in northern n new e

minnesota has higher taxes. military members don't pay taxes in minnesota.we've got people moving to east, grand forks, and moorhead joining the minnesota guard, and we've got 300 positions open in the north dakota guard. that's another one we should just put that one right through. we've worked hard to make north dakota most [interpreter] military friendly in the state, and we did this successfully, excluding exempting military retirement pay from income tax. let's keep that momentum going into the same for our active duty men and women in uniform. [applause] in may of 1974, there was a shaggy haired kid who was a senior in her school in arthur, north dakota. not unlike now, he was writing his high school graduation speech at the last minute, but fold of that speech last night, and on that speech, much shorter than this one, i'm sure you'd be happy to hear. [laughter] there was a list of the world's problems. the included inflation, 1974, political scandal, coming out of the nixon years, pollution, overpopulation, there was an energy crisis, there was wars

the answer would be, what is a 20-year mining ban in northeastern minnesota.ota for years. they started the permitting process in 2005. they would mine copper and nickel, cobalt. but it's been shut down, slowed down and now there's been a 20-year ban put on great jobs in minnesota. will: in 2021, 70% of the global supply of cobalt, now a behind e mining -- a mining ban. pete: yep. let's go to afghanistan. and since we've gone -- i should go 1,000 because it's such a disaster, but i'm going to go 600. will: okay. not quite as bold as me. [laughter] it only took the taliban this many days to retake the country. you've got in the. pete: yeah. i mean, because they said it would be a year, year and a half, two years. what do you think at home? a little more than a week. what is more than a week. what is -- i mean, i have the answer too. [laughter] i can't fake this, it's acting. will: what is 10 days. pete: 10 days, is how long it took. what's staggering about this, america in jeopardy, is that these so-called experts in green had assessed that, you know, they woul

minnesota put out a press release saying how ridiculous these accusations have been.othing but help local law enforcement. this is just really an illustration of how gutter politics and outright lies and absurdities have infiltrated our politics and, frankly, fox news and many of the commentators who work there, and it's dangerous. it's dangerous to elected officials like myself. it's dangerous to our democracy when you can't tell the truth to your viewers. >> yeah. i mean to be clear, even if you had called for defunding the police, that doesn't mean that anybody should be making light of you being punched in the face. i mean, it doesn't matter your political position. that said, they're also just lying. it's just a blatant lie. do you need additional security? are you worried about your safety? >> well, look, we all have been worried about our safety. we have all received threats over the last couple years especially. they've gown tremendously on members of congress. you know, i spent a whole lot of time making sure that we had security present at public events in m
