so he's a very good candidate for north dakota. there's great contrast between he and heidi highcamp. he and the state's very popular senior senator have been over here and she's been over there on virtually every major issue. the good news is we've gotten really good candidates in north dakota and arizona given specific advantages in those states. >> dana: all right. karl rove, thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: fox news alert. the dow is down big time today after the president announcing new tariffs on steel and aluminum aimed at china and other nations. some economists warned this could mark the start of a trade war with china. >>> russia sparking nuclear concern, claiming it has new weapons that are invincible. how will the u.s. respond? plus president targeting unfair competition. not all u.s. solar companies are happy. who's complaining and why? alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams

she is from north dakota, not south dakota, as we talked about earlier with senator thune, and has a similar passion for this issue. she has been involved in this issue for many years and is also on the committee where we did the p.s.i. work we talked about earlier. i appreciate her being one of our six original cosponsors, helping us to draft this targeted, focused legislation that deals directly with the problem we have seen around the country that was discussed by senator blumenthal. with that, i'd like to yield to my colleague, senator heitkamp. the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. ms. heitkamp: i am so proud to stand here with my five colleagues, but i also have to acknowledge the one that's not here, and that's senator john mccain who has been an absolute champion, along with his wife, on attacking this problem. five years ago when i met cindy mccain, one of the first words out of her mouth was what can we do about this? working within the homeland security committee where so much of this work got done both in the homeland security committee but also in the per

it took courage for the senator from north dakota to be a leader on this issue in committee. the banking committee fought hard and long on this issue. i think there were 30 amendments that we discussed and voted on in coming to this bill that we're bringing to the floor today, and the senator from north dakota was a shining star in that debate, and wanted to remind both sides of us what was most important and that was the people back home and she reminds me of something-- and i come prepared to talk about, but i think it warrants merit. citizen's state bank was my hometown back, and my father, who was a school teacher, school superintendent actually was on that board and it was my first exposure to how banking works. and i remember going to my dad, who was a school teacher, didn't make a lot of money, and he wanted a loan to buy a car. now, we, at that time i was a little older, but this was a 1954 ford that my dad had been driving. i'm not really that old, but it was an old car, but he wanted to buy a new car and i remember sitting off to the side and listening to the conver

there its the snow in north dakota. by 7:00 p.m. mostly confined to north dakota. overnight as the temperatures drop. a narrow band that blue of snow. indianapolis wake up with snow on the ground. central illinois. northern portions of kentucky. around the cincinnati, watch lexington area too. heavy wet snow. more on the grassy surfaces than the pavement. as we go throughout saturday we get some mess down throh the middugle tug-of-war, kansas, oklahoma. that will be short-lived as cooler air moves in later. >> that snowfall map, you know once again, the areas three to six min inches. >> because of talk of snow. and, the reason why two months punxsutawney phil predicted six weeks of winter seems like he is a wanted groundhog. the monroe county sheriff's office, posted the photo on wanted wall for deception because phil is reporting snow in areas where we are now in spring. >> want to blame something. republican senator jeff flake and democratic senator cory booker settled their difference with snow in stiffed bullets. they had a bipartisan snowball fight on the capi

the presiding officer: the senator from north dakota. mr. hoeven: mr. president, i would like to associate myself with the comments of the esteemed senator from wyoming. i think he described very well the truly positive impact that tax relief is having on our country, on economic growth, on job creation, and on higher wages and income for hardworking americans. i rise today, however, to talk about the economic growth, regulatory relief, and consumer protection act and the important reforms we're making to spur economic development, facilitate more lending, and reduce burdensome regulations on our community banks and credit unions. the dodd-frank act, as you know, was enacted in 2010 following the financial crisis. in an attempt to reduce systemic risk the financial sector posed to the economy. this far-reaching law touched nearly every aspect of the financial system, including many small community banks and credit unions around the country in my home state of north dakota and across this nation. north carolina, every state in the union. and these commun

let me tell you about north dakota. north dakota doesn't have thoset utions making mortgages because the compliance costs are way too expensive for these small community banks. as a result, they're doing loans that are recourse loans, using other collateral like your paycheck as opposed to your mortgage, o they're basical transitioning those to large banks like wells fargo. when you don't have relationship lending, you're losing a big part of that capitalization in rural communities. so the protections are there, and, you know, i find it interesting because people always want to say, oh, theba s are going to take advantage of all these consumers. these banks are run by your neighbors. they're owned by youreighbors. they've been doing business for years and generations in these communities. and i think they know better what the community needs than a federal regulator. and let's put this back in focus. the reason w youhave the mortgage standards that you have is to prevent a collapsefhe economy using mortgage as a collat

he went there to address a convention of indian tribes that were meeting in north dakota. he delivers a speech to them in north dakota that is a breathtaking piece because if you read it and if you stood up out of standing rock at the reservation where i was last summer during that time, if you read bobby's speech, every word of it would be relevant to what they were doing there that day. he actually quoted chief joseph who gave a speech in 1877. everyone here would be able to live together as one tribe and one son. there's much in his evolution that's in here that clarifies that question which i think is always the central biographical question. >> you watch this in other program @booktv.org. >> good evening everyone. welcome to the bookstore. we are delighted to host eric this evening as he shares his story with us

who yes yes north dakota appears that the canadian government is quite bullishly following in the footsteps of the footsteps of its louder violent and definitely more obnoxious neighbor to the south when it comes to big oil pipelines and water protectors yeah i think it's about time we start watching the hawks. as an example of. what you know that i got. this. week so. welcome everyone the watching the hawks tyros the turd joining us today to discuss canada's verio of the code access pipeline struggle r t correspondent alex mahela vigil it's always a pleasure to have you. thank you so dallas i got to start by asking how how how similar is this to the dakota access pipeline protest that we saw down here in the united states feels very similar when i see it on a space well lucky texas based kinda morgan filing injunction against protesters who are protesting the pipeline these protesters and crew that include environmental groups they include native groups they also include the city of burnaby in the city vancouver so one hundred seventy two people were arrested last week wrote to. and we kno

there is a comparison because if i remember correctly a lot had to do with the environment in north dakota as well oh most definitely and you know it's interesting because in dakota access we witnessed the seesaw battle the eventually i think many people believe you know the water protectors as they called themselves ultimately lost. now we do think we'll see a different result in canada like you said you have the cities of vancouver and bird to be getting in on this not just you know the group of activists and water protectors can these people when this fire will they reverse this decision. well look this was a side of back in two thousand and sixteen with our champion of everything green our prime minister justin trudeau gave a pat on the back to this project so moving forward from a federal level that's where that mass of obstruction is when it comes to any type of people with the environment on their mind federal overrides the provincial so alberta has been pushing this very hard because the economy relies on oil blah blah blah the fact the matter is that their economy has dropped dram

she is from north dakota as we talked about earlier was senator thune and has a similar passion foras this issue and has been involved with this issue for many years. she's also the committee that we talked about earlier and i appreciate her being one of our co-sponsors helping us to draft this targeted focus legislation that deals with the problem we have seen around the country discussed by mayor blumenthal. with that i like to yield to my colleague. >> the senator from north dakota. >> i'm somp pratique stand here with my colleague but i also have to have knowledge the one that is not here and that's senator john mccain who has been an absolute champion along with his wife on attacking this problem. five years ago when i met cindy mccain one of the first words out of her mouth was what can we do about this? working within the homeland security committee where so much of this work and the homeland security committee but also the permanent subcommittee on investigations i can't say enough about the commitment of that committee and importantly the commitment of the leadership of the p

bank, which is my small community bank in the community that i went to high school in hankerson, north dakota, is not on the fortune 500, not on the fortune 100. it is a small community bank that has been operating and has been available to consumers in my community to help them achieve their family goals, achieve their farming goals, and achieve their needs going forward for capital. i don't recognize the bill that's being debated here in the united states senate because it's not the bill that has been written and it's not the bill that has, in fact -- is hopefully going to pass the united states senate. and so i don't think that it's any mistake when you look at the five primary sponsors of this bill, the five of us who wrote this bill, that most of us are from predominantly rural states. i think we understand the needs of those living in our states and the needs of those living in our rural communities. when you look at an opportunity to fix regulation and to respond to concerns that people have, one of the constant arguments that i get when i come home is there is no longer any common sen

but senator heidi heitkamp, a democrat from north dakota, strongly supports it and she joins me now. senator heitkamp, welcome to the news hour. nt to get to the bankin story in just a moment, but first i have to ask you about our lead tonight, and that is the surprise announcement from thwhite house that the president's chief economic cviser, gary cohn, is stepping down what have hearly been a dispute with the president, who he worksov for, imposing tariffs on imported steel and aluminum. what's your thought about that? how is that going to affect trade policy? >>ell, i'm deeply concerned that we won't have that voice that is the voice of reason in the white house as it relates to economic understanding of the importance of trade. ss than 5% globally of people in the world live in this country. if we're not trading, we're going to fail. i think that one of the biggest concer i have with the white house is their trade policy. gary was a great advocate f common sense as it relates to trade, and i find it deeply distbing that he'll be leaving. >> woodruff: what does it mean for your st

amy: the dakota access pipeline in north dakota that also owned by energy transfer partners, as is theou bridge. >> the bayou bridge is the southern leg of the dakota access pipeline. amy: what about the connection of the sheriffs and louisiana to what is happening in north dakota? you have spoken about this. >> yes. there's a pair scald st. charles parish were the sheriff was president of the national sheriffs association. he took a trip to standingng rok to help martin county, which is where the pipeline is, help the sheriffs department there and had a very aggressive facebook post saying the people who are objecting to the pipeline were violent and castigating opponents as people who deserved law enforcement watching them. again, that is concerning for us. what we then see our sheriff do isis stand in front of a gas pipeline explosion louisiana just shortly thereafter when a man was killed saying no problem here. , but fire in the swap nothing to see here. talking to the news cameras as if this is normal and as if this is ok. pastor harry joseph, the impact, first of all, the overal

>> tariffs are really bad for north dakota there was a study out today showing the ten top states whoected by these tariffs. north dakota is number ten and what that tells you is we're a large equipment manufacturer plus there's a lot of pipe that goes into the ground in north dakota in the oil and gas industry, a lot of pipe that's not manufactured in this country that they won't have a choice, they're going to have to pay the tariff if they're going to build the pipeline i think this is absolutely the wrong direction. we should be promoting trade, not disrupting it. >> yeah. >> i think there's an incredible opportunity for us to have a meaningful discussion about what's happening with nafta that we're greatly concerned about in north dakota but as you know, joe, i'mpretty pro free trade. i believe it should be fair. i don't think people should cheat. we should look at how we're going to do better enforcement, but this is folly. absolutely folly for the economy. >> the colleagues of yours in the senate that are pro tariffs are mostly -- there aren't many republicans. some you've seen

the first lady of north dakota has been an inspiration to many people who have heard her story. today she would like to talk to us about breaking through the silence and the stigma. catherine: thank you. i am so grateful to the administration for bringing people together for this important conversation. i've been in long-term recovery for 16 years. [applause] personal experience has stigma prevents people from reaching out from help and talking about the disease of addiction rate i did not seek real help for almost 20 years because i was ashamed. stigma puts up walls. it is socially constructed, taste in fear and -- it is based in fear. if we can begin to normalize the conversation around the chronic brain disease of addiction and talk about it like we talk about other chronic diseases like diabetes, we can end the stigma. we can change cultures from misinterpretation to empathy. it is so great the administration has created this website for people to share their stories. that will go a long way to breaking down the barrier of stigma. we have launched a multimedia communications

and my colleagues in law enforcement in north dakota started doing things and they did something that -- peace officers all across the country do. they sat down with the women they were arresting and they started listening to their stories. and the stories were heartbreaking stories of being -- preyed on as young girls either in their home as they were running away. the stories of how they got in the life. and many, many of my egg colleagues in law enforcement began to say these women are not criminals they are victims. and we began to look at what has led to this huge explosion. and we examineing all of the websites all of the places where -- with the tweak of a word or with the opportunity to -- anonymous in old days you would have to have to stand out perhaps in the street corner but now you can be anonymous. and that it tbaif those perpetrators those -- those evil human beings yet another avenue. that's when we started looking at back page.com and other siteses like it that sell human beings for sex and that occurs in every corner of our country. in the small and big states, and i

senator is much tougher because the battle grounds for the senator 0rrin very republican states like north dakotahe most trump friendly states. the battle for the house is not like pennsylvania 18, it is the suburban battle grounds where donald trump has lost significant ground. what made this race so significant is that this is in, as you said, trump country. what lessons do you think democrats will learn, that they can track a bit writer and do well with the right candidate, or they can do anything and win regardless? the former is a much more important lesson, democrats can nominate moderate candidates who are not necessarily liberal on guns, who are not necessarily economically liberal, if they can appeal to the business friendly centrists who do not particularly care for the trump presidency, that is a ticket to winning lots of these key suburban districts. thank you, josh. donald trump has tapped a cable news commentator to be his top economic adviser. he has been a fixture on us financial television for more than a decade and served in the reagan administration. kudlow replaces gary cullen
