just to remind everybody right now, in north dakota, in north dakota this year, $34 million from that settlement flows to the state of north dakota, settled several decades ago but the money is still coming in to do prevention, to help out with tobacco addiction and to do what's really, really important there. so the other quality i want to mention -- i know, mr. president, we're going overboard here in terms of our, in terms of where we're supposed to be in our caucuses and everything, but i think there's a remarkable trait is heidi heitkamp is one of the -- and we saw this today with everyone who turned out and her staff knows this, is one of the most well-liked u.s. senators by both sides of the aisle. and she was so well liked that president trump, you know, he was convinced he needed somebody in his cabinet that was well liked and respected, and he recruited heidi heitkamp to be his secretary of agriculture. i think what the president was doing cozying up to her, he was trying to make friends in the senate. he figured if he got her, she was going to make a real difference. and he

in washington and north dakota. my office has provided responses to over 204,000 north dakotans who reached out to me on various issues. and my office has helped over 18,000 north dakotans with federal agencies getting their v.a. benefits, fixing issues with social security, helping resolve immigration and much, much more. people always ask me, what's your greatest achievement in the senate? and i -- you know, i can go through all of the things i just talked about. but i like to talk about one thing. it's a native american. he's from spirit lake nation, and he is a pipe maker, which is a very ceremonial and honorable position within their culture. he's also a korean war vet, and he was one of the first people on the peninsula. he was captured -- injured, captured and literally saved lives during what was called the tiger death march . he ended up serving the entire korean war in a korean concentration camp. when he got out, no one knew who he was. there was no documentation of the fact that he was in the prison of w

north dakota, middle-aged democrat from north dakota and i'm standing in the senate where not even 2,000 people have come before. this is a great and good and noble country with good purpose and greatpo opportunity and i wt every child out there to understand it doesn't matter. we represent a cross section of this great country, but we also are not that special. sometimes i think the american public thinks if you took 100 random people and put them in, they could do better than we could do but the truth is you all came here with the same noble purpose. youhi came here to change ameri, to do the right thing and i don't care if you sit there or here telling you all came here for the right purpose and i got to serve in the senate as a part of a great american story and that only happens in this country. don't ever forget that and if we lose that opportunity, we will want to be finished in who we are. h i want to offer a few comments and i hope they are not to preachy but i want everyone to understand especially my colleagues that this has been the opportunity of a lifetime. think about what

matter to people in north dakota. it is a record of solid accomplishments. none of which would be possible if we were not working in a bipartisan way. >> when you first came to the senate did anybody take you under their wing? sen. heitkamp: i would say no. everybody is so busy. you learn by trial and error. i stepped on his toes, i will not do that again. if i can use colorful language, during the debate on immigration reform which we passed. i tried to get some northern border stuff. there is another accomplishment. trying to make sure we don't just focus on the southwest border. we don't ignore the northern border, which is critical. it is huge. i couldn't understand why during the immigration debate, i could not get this northern border attention. we drafted a bill and got it signed into law. we now have a northern border strategy which we do not have to the southern border. you look at all these things, they matter in a continuum. at the end of the day, i would say i came here to get a job done. i worked very har

>> when the president brags he won north dakota and indiana, he's in real trouble. >> i did. we did win north dakota and indiana. >> so, if you were wondering what the next two years of the trump presidency might look like, i think we just got a sneak preview. it did not end there. a source tells cnn that after the showdown behind closed doors pelosi summed up what she thinks of trump's focus on the wall, telling democratic members of the house at a closed-door meeting, quote, it's like a manhood thing for him, as if manhood could ever be associated with him, unquote. cnn's kaitlan collins live at the white house. this meeting was supposed to be behind closed doors, but the president called the cameras in, the first hint this was not going to be a normal negotiation. >> reporter: it was not a normal negotiation. when president trump was speaking, he doubled down on what he said during the oval office clash with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, that he will own a government shutdown if it's shutting it down over getting funding for his border wall. now, when he was just speakin

the people of north dakota want a wall. they want a barrier of some type and, both for practical use, and the symbolism of it, but clearly, that is not the only issue. we have lots of immigration issues. a comprehensive reform probably makes the most sense. >> trish: in order to get there, you have to get to birthdays and for first base, you just explain, is that wall. people want that symbolism. they want to erect a barrier to send a message, effectively to anyone thinking of coming here illegally, you better not, it will be difficult. if you don't get that, what do you have at the risk of it? shouldn't the democrats want the rest of it? >> that democrats wouldn't want the rest of it, unfortunately, we are living on a time where it seems like every negotiation begins with all or nothing, and ends with all or nothing, which usually ends up with nothing. and, you have a lot of people saying what ey will never do. rule number one in politics, never say what you will never do. that is at least what john brainard taught me. it
