north dakota shows how energy exploration creates shared prosperity. better schools, more funding for infrastructure which we really need throughout our country, higher wages, lower unemployment, things we've been missing for a long time. it's a choice between sharing in this great energy wealth or sharing in the poverty promised by hillary clinton. [ cheers and applause ] you don't have to take my word for it. just listen to hillary in her own words. she's declared war on the american worker. here's what hillary clinton said earlier this year, we are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of work. [ booing ] by the way, her timing wasn't so good. the following week she went to west virginia. she didn't do too well there. but i love the people of west virginia. we did. and i love the people of pennsylvania. they don't like her too much, i can tell you. and if hillary can shut down the mines, she can really shut down our whole country and your business will be permanently, in many cases permanently ruined. so let me tell you how presid

so, north dakota brought us -- you brought us over the line, folks, and i will always remember that. i will always remember that. and to me inbound who are now bound, i think you're bound. you prompt missed you're bound, everybody? yes, they promise. so, thank you very much. this is a great honor and this was a little bit sooner. we were supposed to be watching hillary clinton and guess what? we're watching hillary clinton. that's the way it works. crooked hillary. [cheers and applause] >> crooked hillary. and that report yesterday, that was a report. let's talk about energy, okay? i'm delighted to be in north dakota, state where really you're at the forefront of a new energy revolution. oil and natural gas production is up significantly in the last decade. our oil imports have literally, frankly, been cut in half. that's something that nobody thought was going to be happening really for a very, very long time. but all of this occurred in spite of a massive new bureaucratic and political barrier. president obama has done everything he can to get in the way of american energy for what

right there in north dakota. let's bring in former democratic senator from north dakota byron dorgan who just this monday endorsed hillary clinton. joined by former republican governor from vermont jim douglass who has been a supporter of course in the past of governor john cake. i want to start with you, senator dorgan. and as we look at what happened in north dakota do you think donald trump will be able to win over the energy industry and we're talking about the fossil fuel industry. >> well, i think he'll do well in bismarck. north dakota treats everyone with respect. so i'm glad he made the stop in bismarck. look, we have had energy abundance. we went from scarcity to abundance in a very short period of time and that's a good thing. also donald trump carries a lot of badge in other areas because in north dakota i've run in 12 statewide elections, and we treat advisories with respect. he uses terms like loser, liar, low-life, and so on. it's the wrong way to campaign in my judgment. in addition to that, i may

fernando: north dakota, of course, the huge energy state. your economy had a big boo. unfortunately now a big bust. you've been asked to advise trump on his energy policy. kevin: my advice is let's make american energy more competitive. we snow that saudi arabia can produce oil at $5 to $10. their economy can't sustain that but they're trying to drive places like north dakota and texas out of the shal e-biz. rather than punishing the saudis for their success, we should some pushing -- punishing american businesses by adding layers and layers of rules and regulations. i would look at a way to utilize not credits or subsidies but ramp deductions for anything that's american made. so if you're in the wind industry and building wind tur bins or powers -- towers or creating pipe and drilling for oil or solar power or drag lines for coal mining, it's american made and american made energy, level the playing field. fernando: are you in favor of having the economy convert to renewable energy? kevin: i've always supported early technological advancements in public sector invest

dakota, north dakota owes trump but generally speaking, obviously it is historic. nobody has ever done what trump has done when a major party nomination with his business background as opposed to a governmental or military background. heather: you think we may see other unbound delegates follow suit? >> yes, some of them will be unhappy that north dakota got in front of them but maybe they will hold events with balloons falling and confetti and you will make a big media splash, i don't know but i expect that to happen. >> meantime on the democratic side, let's talk about that. a new piece from uva center of politics caught our attention on hillary clinton's battle for the democratic nomination. the new unity, once all that and senior columnist alan abramowitz whiting quote, an examination of survey data from the 2008 presidential election suggests that unifying democrats may actually be easier in 2016 than it was in 2008. the major reason for that is that donald trump is a far less attractive alternative to disgruntled democrats than john mccain was in 2008 and no

they come from unbound delegates in north dakota and pennsylvania. the question now is is donald trump going to change his behavior? is he going to try to look more presidential? i don't think that's going to happen. during the press conference, you could see how he was continually attacking hillary clinton and the democratic party. trump remains to be trump. brent: you have to wonder, the big names in the republican party, the ones who have not endorsed trump, how much longer can they continue to do that? can they come in and get on the trump train? guest: most of them will do that. this is going to happen in the days and weeks to come. house speaker paul ryan is trying to be some sort of bridge between the trump campaign and the so-called establishment. it is hard to be that because today, he gave a press conference saying he had a great conversation with mr. trump yesterday, but was it interesting yesterday is that he did mention this magic number is now a reason to endorse mr. trump. i think paul ryan is kind of worried the way donald trump think

time, then on to north dakota. this week kentucky as well as puerto rico. he is campaigning in every state remaining, there are 11 contests left remaining in this race, eight states, three territories, puerto rico, the virgin islands and the district of columbia. bernie sanders is far behind in delegates but he is increasingly making the argument that super delegates, those party officials should be coming to his side particularly from states that he actually won, like new hampshire, west virginia, minnesota, he won big majorities in those states but the super delegates are siding with hillary clinton. he has increasingly started talking more about the donald trump and the need to defeat him. >> i am not here to say that hillary clinton can't defeat donald trump. i absolutely believe that she can. but i believe quite honestly that bernie sanders is the stronger candidate. >> so it is clear that bernie sanders is going after any of those voters who may be disaffected bernie sanders supporters. donald trump has been

and he place, north dakota. >> as he arrived in north dakota for a speech on energy. trump's campaign showed up for support. putting the long-time front runner over the top. this delegate says he became number 1237 on a phone call with the trump campaign ad. >> i asked how many do you have? and they were sitting at 1235. and i said, let me let you talk to 1236 and then i'll get back to you. >> even trump seemed taken back by the moment. >> here i am watching hillary clinton fight to close the deal. and that should be such an easy deal to close. >> hammering on hillary clinton's e-mail scandal. >> she had bad judgment. probably illegal. we'll have to find out what the fbi says. >> reporter: but trump does not have his entire party behind him. despite a phone call last night, speaker paul ryan has yet to offer his endorsement. >> w

charles: today when donald trump came out in north dakota. there was something different about his swagger. this speech was a little bit different. and even comments that vince foster who was mentioned earlier in the week has no place in the campaign. is this the -- the so-called pivot? >> this is the presidential donald trump. this was not a rally. there is a difference between policy discussions with media and conferences like this as opposed to the rally. this is a donald trump you would see as commander-in-chief. the rallies are an opportunity for mr. trump to engage with his supporters to have fun. he wants everyone to enjoy the campaign trail an has a lot of fun with them. what you saw was the donald trump a lot of people have been wanting to see, talking policy and giving prepared speeches, and being more what they would call presidential. charles: but the people still want those rallies. >> they absolutely do. charles: we'll put an asterisk on any misstatements at the rallies. you guys have to be extraordinarily excited. donald trump

the presumptive nominee is in north dakota following west coast swing. in the meantime new revelations from donald trump's top aid. that man on the left is hinting at just who donald trump might or might not pick as his vice president. and you might be surprised because he says trump probably will not choose a woman. or will not choose a member of the minority group. the reason being he says he believes that would be viewed as pandering. shedding issues on donald trump's ban on muslims. here is what he had to say. he has already started moderating on that. he operates by starting the conversation at the outer edges and brings it back towards the middle within his comfort zone. he will soften it more. meantime, president obama weighing in on donald trump. he says his fellow leaders from all over the world are very concerned about trump's stances. >> they are rattled by it. and for good reason. he does a lot of proposals he is making display ignorance of world affairs or a cavalier attitude or an interest in getting tweets and headlines instead of thinking

cramer and his colleagues in the north carolina -- excuse me -- north dakota delegation worked to address a very sad child abuse problem plaguing an indian reservation in his state. passage of s. 184 is a critical first step toward ensuring that indian children are placed in safe, secure and loving homes within their tribal communities. again, i'd like to thank our good friend, mr. cramer from north dakota, for his hard work on this important issue. i urge an aye vote on s. 184, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the entleman reserves. the gentleman from arizona is recognized. mr. gallego: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. gallego: mr. speaker, we are all aware of the challenges that native children face when it comes to their health, safety and security. for example, native children are 2.1 times more likely than other american children to end up in foster care. they're also 2.5 times more likely to become victims of abuse or neglect. the native american children safety act will ad
