but i think north dakota may be more significant, judy, because up until now, no state has passed onethese personhood amendments. they've all failed but it look likes in north dakota they could pass this amendment that would define life not just at conception but at any moment in life. those who are against gaens it say this could block birth control. those who are for it say it is an important advance for those who oppose abortion. >> woodruff: and the one other one i want to ask you about is guns, only on the ballot in, what, a limited number of states. >> that's right. the main place to watch there is washington state, where faceinatingly enough, they actually have competing ballot measures. one would prohibit background checks, until the federal government requires it, essentially prohibiting background checks at gun shows. and the other would require background checks at gun shows and private sales. what is happening right now in washington state is we're seeing millions of dollars being put into this gun fight. the nra has gotten involved in the last couple of weeks. i think thi

pressler: i feel strongly that the keystone pipeline should be altered in montana and north dakota and midwestern refineries. to hault oil all the way down to louisiana coast to coast and then ship it back to south dakota in the midwest costs 1 dollar a gallon in terms of your fuel costs. i believe strongly that we need to american pipelines and they should be made into an american pipeline. president obama can alter it or demand it be altered. to go to nd eastward to the refineries in chicago minnesota and wisconsin keeps the oil in the midwest. if we haul it to louisiana's governor rounds suggests and all the way back by train and truck it will be about 1 dollar a gallon more on your fuel bill when you are filling up your car. at the three-point pipeline plan and i resent governor rounds saying that we have not discussed that. we have had all these debates where i presented my plan and he has not attended. we do need to buy plants and north dakota. it's better environmentally to move oil by pipeline than by train or truck that we'll have to haul it back to louisiana by train and truc

right now we will have more and il developed in north dakota. these farmers and ranchers in south dakota will get less on a bushel basis. here's what is happening. all the interchanges going east of you are filled with trains coming out of north dakota that are filling them up, blocking the way so our trains cannot get to where they would normally go to job off corn. we have corn, wheat, soybeans sitting on the ground. in order to move it, it used to take two weeks to get our grain from south dakota to where they would drop it, and now takes two weeks, which means our producers have to rent israel cars for next week, and that extra cost comes directly out of their paycheck. this is an economic catastrophe waiting to happen. we're seeing it happen because this president's failed economic policies and misunderstanding about how we get this oil to market safely is hurting us directly. this is wrong. >> we need to move on. can journal weiland respond. do you think it will benefit south dakota? >> i do not, and it will not paid very easy. you do your

fives days from now in three states, tennessee, north dakota, colorado, americans will vote on billsly impact a woman's access to legal abortion. good thing, bad thing? i know you all feel it. mel robins is here, paul callen. first thing's first, wrap up for me what's at play here, particularly in two states when they have the personhood issues at stake. some people are saying these are backdoor approaches with consequences that may be unintended. can you give me some feel? >> absolutely. personhood is when you attempt to give a fees tus or a fertilized egg legal rights. you're defining conception as the beginning of life, ashleigh, and a fertilized egg, if it's defined as a living being, will then have rights they don't normally have now. it has enormous implications, not only just for abortion rights, but it could have implications in in vitro fertilization, implications with birth control, and so on. >> so some people, paul, say there's so much ambiguity, but when i looked at the laws they seemed clearcut to me and i'm not entirely sure where the ambiguity comes in. >> well i have

what interests you in the south, being from north dakota?p in minnesota after born in north dakota. >> stephen: okay. the south was a mysterious, strange land to me and i decided to learn more about it. >> stephen: i bet the south felt pretty good about mid february. >> being from minnesota, that's quite true, yes. >> stephen: well, i'm from charleston, south carolina, where we like to say all roads lead north from here, and there are people in my home state who still get teary when you start to talk about robert e. lee, but nobody gives a damn about jefferson davis. (laughter) he was the president of the confederacy. i'm not saying anything about your book, it's a great subject, but why don't we love davis? >> well, davis was at the top of the chain. somebody has to be blamed for defeat, and the buck stopped at the president's desk. >> stephen: he said that, originally, didn't he? the buck stops here. >> harry truman said that. >> stephen: he was the harry truman of the confederacy. >> that's correct. (laughter) >> stephen: question about d

is a mecca migratory beekeepers keeps 10,000 beehives and it takes them between california and north dakota is a commercial beekeeper i had no idea how important the american honeybee was too important to ever betty's die it i just thought they were cute and made honey but i've learned to they pollinate one out of three bites of food that we eat all the pit with fruit, it would doom this without the honey bees to pollinate the crops our diet would be a lot less interesting. the way modern agriculture works and you cannot count on the local peace to pollinate the crops their miles of crops you need a lot of these then the petals fall off and they cannot survive. so with modern agriculture works it requires migratory workers to bring them and then get out. i met him in 2004 i think he lost half of his bees that year and friends lost even more. it did not get a lot of attention. are followed him around and that basically like a healthy colony bets it was mysterious and nobody knew what was causing it. but in reality honeybees are dying and have been in trouble for a while even in since the ear

it's $4 billion in alaska, and $2 billion in north dakota, there are states that are going to be hit by this. there is that element of it. and in a not-so-distant future the u.s. is going to be an exporter of energy, not an importer of energy. transition is coming whether it's five years from now to ten years from now. it is a double-edge sword, and i believe the low oil prices will be enjoyed for the short term. >> but if i'm running my plant with fossil fuels in order to carry on whatever process i'm doing, didn't i also just get a raise? because running my looms or my mill or my packaging machinery also just got cheaper. >> you certainly do, ray, and it's been shown, for example, that a lot of refiners have converted using natural gas in place of oil as a fuel and operations. if i could make one point, most forecasters look at 20 to 25 years still believe we're looking at a change in the world oil market from 90 million-barrels consumed worldwide today to somewhere close to 130 million-barrels in the future. those numbers can be adjusted, but it shows in the long run as india, chi

we have seen this in north dakota with the bakken shale deposits in north dakota. five or six years ago there was probably no oil moving high oil in north dakota. had a dark 7000 barrels a day moving by rail in north dakota. until there's more hype line infrastructure but that will continue possible even go. >> what we are talking about with the review is for the approval of a facility at the border, not importation of the oil. is the infrastructure exists to move it then you don't have a problem under these executive orders. >> in terms of pipeline versus rail or rather other means, our committee is neutral. what we are essentially saying is a decision should be made by putting him on the scale by making it much, much harder for one form of infrastructure to be built. that's what we would like to address. >> it's an issue of timing as well. i know this as a process you want to get done but canadian critics have said were stretching the time after this, we are adding more processes, we are taking too long. it should be a no-brainer as we heard on the earlier panel.

we have seen this in north dakota in a big way with shale deposits in north dakota. five or six years ago, there was probably no oil moving by rail in north dakota. 700,000,re is probably 800 barrels per day moving by rail in north dakota. of the review is for the approval of the facility at the order, not me importation of the oil. if the infrastructure exists to move it, you do not have a problem under these executive orders. in terms of pipeline versus rail or other means, our committee is neutral. what we are essentially saying is the decision should not be made by putting the thumb on the scale by making it much, much -- one formhe warm of infrastructure to be built. that is what we would like to address. >> it is an issue of timing as well. i know this is a process you want to get done, but canadian critics have said, we're stretching out the timing on this, we are adding more processes, we are taking too long. it should be a no-brainer. any comments on timing on that? could anyone guess how long a permit is going to take? it is less guesswork on the gas pipeli

>> for a long time he had the most in the country and he had two branches up in north dakota where he could take the sources and keep them. the federal government has the responsibility for them, so they paid something for the care of the horses and that was what happened. >> one of the first stories was the former chief justice and thomas jefferson were related and did not like each other we met. >> yes, that is right. is not amazing? >> it was amazing that they didn't like each other and it was so difficult to manage. but they did. >> the marberry versus madison case during president jefferson, exactly what did i case established? >> well, i don't know that today we can say much of anything. >> been established the court? >> yes, and it was treated as an equal branch and given a lot of credibility when the court was still young. >> one of the things you write about in out of order is that it hangs in the justice private dining? >> yes, they do. isn't that something? >> justice, can you talk about other things in your book two why do justices enter that way? >> we actually don't. the

north dakota organized and the georgia dairymen dumped their milk.ioux city strike began, it was all over. although scattered protests continued throughout the nation, they were faint echoes of the anger that spilled over at sioux city. why was the strike unsuccessful? the milk dealers could find enough milk supply somewhere to thwart the desires of the dairy farmer. so there didn't seem to be much that farmers could do to improve their general lot. not individual action, not institutional activity, not even group protests and violence. economic analyst richard gill explains why farmers couldn't find their way out of this terrible economic predicament. there are really two points to be made here. the first is that the dairy farmers in sioux city and north dakota and georgia were not being at all irrational in trying to curtail milk supplies on the market. the reason it made sense from their point of view is that the demand for milk, like the demand for most agricultural products, tends to be what economists describe as inelastic. what this means is t

moving on now. >> we're going to north dakota for this, yes.re we go. >> catapult there. >> so these physics students in fargo, they are catapults and they built them using different materials and then they launch eight to 10-pound pumpkins from them, kind of like pumpkin chucking they do in delaware. goal, to determine the distance and speed that these pumpkin travel. >> they could not do that to this one. take a look at this pumpkin. >> here we go... >> yes, in northern california man who squash his competition, get it, at a pumpkin weighing competition this farmer's name is john, and his pumpkin weighed 2058-pound, the gigantic gored also set a record for the heaviest pumpkin. isn't that what we just said. >> yes. >> we never thought anything lake this would happen, it just did. >> all righty. >> so he credits how big this thing is with the warm weather they had up in napa and will use money he won, he got 2,000, i don't know how much he won but he will use this to help fix his home because his home was damage in the the big earthquake they

we don't have to take north dakota as a model of excellence.an do it better in montana but we need to develop resources wisely and we need to develop for now. we can be energy independent for five years, so let's do it. >> or rail lines -- or rail lines are already crazy busy for lack of better terms. we are already pushing for oil and coal and we are pushing wheat off of our rail lines with these two export terminals heading to the west coast. how are we going to handle it and what are you going to tell communities? zinke: well, i did talk to i did have to not rose from the of north santa fe railroad. it is an issue that we need to build pipelines. the keystone pipeline is one of many.

move their grain and i also have a three-point pipeline plan to build two american pipelines in north dakota to move oil to midwestern refineries so we can lower the cost of diesel fuel by 1 dollar a gallon. i also have a specific education plan for south dakota to help our students with their student loans and grants. so i'm making this very much a south dakota issues campaign. i started this campaign two years ago and i said i was going to issue a press release on issues twice every week and i have done that. i am working hard for the middle class people of south dakota and the small businesses struggling so much. i'm very proud to say that my issues oriented campaign is make difference already pretty think we are seeing at better issues oriented campaign for the senate because of my independent run. i'm under attack from republicans and democrats and don't believe what you are seeing on tv. it's totally false. i am for social security and what you are getting your mailbox from the republican party about almost 180 degrees. it's very strange because i picked one of the best republican sena

north dakota has the lowest unemployment rate in the country. it has fallen below 3%. they had the highest gdp last year of any state. in the state's economy grew 9.7% last year from the year before. and so while the rest of the country has been kind of staggering through this sluggish recovery, you know, nobody, even though the economy has technically been out of recession for more than five years nobody really feels it. these states have been one place where you have seen more high paying jobs, you have welders in demand. it even trickles down to the local -- some of these walmarts in north dakota offering pretty good wages. well above minimum wage because there's a shortage of workers. host: why wouldn't that continue? guest: well, it wouldn't continue if it becomes unprove itible to get that oil out of the ground. that's the question now, is -- host: the margins get so thin? guest: right. if there's just not as much demand for oil anymore, i don't think anybody thinks right now this is going to come to a halt by any stretch and i don't want to suggest that. but i t
