senior deputy with kristi noem from the fine state of south dakota. and congresswoman, i'm looking at at least some of the early released remarks from the white house. not a one touches on the keystone pipeline. he could reaffirm that he would likely veto republican attempts to get keystone open. what do you think of that, and how damaging could that be? >> well, i think it certainly needs to be a priority of the president. and this president has been a great speech giver. he's just not a problem solver. and, frankly, the united states, americans need results. keystone would do that. deliver a lot of our energy sources cheaper and safer. and make sure we have the resources we need into the future. keystone would go through my state. and the people of south dakota support it. they recognize the benefits. neil: the argument against it, oil prices have collapsed so much. there's no reason to really do it. you say what? >> there's another resource up there we're not tapping into. the economic benefits will benefit every small town it goes through. for com

because what was on my mind was the critical work that kimberly crenshaw and kristi dotson are doing in terms of critiquing my brother's keeper. it's not simply that there's the black father is present. and that's important right? but part of the critique is the way that our focus, fetishization. once we realize that black men are brutalized are killed, right? that it makes more invisible black women's similar experiences. so we're talking about all of these men that have suffered this. but we're not talking about marlene pinnic who was beat on the side of the road by the california highway patrol. we're not talking about ursula orr, a black colleague of mine who was beat by the campus police at asu. right? so what happens the way kimberly and christy and other black feminists are telling it is that the coverage and the lessons of ferguson is that we make more invisible black women's plight and black women's struggles with these kinds of brutal acts of state violence. if we don't, if we're not cognizant of the gendered ways in which we're telling these stories and talking about it. >

. >> one of my colleagues kristie thompson should his did a piece on this very issue of judicial elections in the campaign adding that the campaign ads rise up against them and you are dealing with one of the most cynical components of the campaigns and especially judicial campaigns. the idea that the business interests for those that care about court reform and jurisdiction and care about liability and other issues are not going to come to consumers of news and television and papers and say let's band together, they are going to say that this judge is soft on child sex offenders. and so those ads are more pervasive even as there is this countermovement in this country to be a little but more sensible about crime and the dramatic translation of crime. that going in one direction, the ads are going in the other direction and obviously they are affected because they are pervasive in all of these states and if they were not working they wouldn't be happening. >> i see this also regarding these committees, i think that this is a great proposal that reflects the understanding of the first amend

as our friend kristi noem, mentioned earlier, children are sometimes sold up to 50 times a day. plus, the consequences for the criminals is not as great as the consequences for drug smugglers. and the risk of apprehension is not as great. so this bill tries to deal with all three entities that are involved in sex trafficking. there is the trafficker, the slave master, there is the consumer, child abuser, and then there is the child. they are victims of crime and the american social conscience needs to change to understand these children are not criminals, they are not prostitutes, they are children that are victims of slavery. we need to change that conscience and change it legally as well. in all fairness to police, many times they see a child on the street, they arrest the child for child prostitution file juvenile crime case against that individual, but many times they don't have a place to take the child. we have approximately i understand 3,000 animal shelters in the united states. i got one of my three dalmation from an animal sherlt. we need those. but there are less than
