minutes from the media from the people from the sick workers from the court from the federal health care officials b.p. is following pretty closely everything that axon do. we were actually flying over the disaster site on sunday april twenty fifth and what we saw when you're out there were two airplanes were flying over and already carpet bombing this bill with this person i started to notice that the planes and helicopters were flying over they were dropping the stuff the spray they were really secretive about where those planes were coming from and when they were going out they didn't really want shoes taken abuse planes coming down because it looked like spraying in vietnam it was it was not a picture that either the government or b.p. really wanted to have out there carex it is toxic it's toxic to people it's toxic to the environment what it does is it breaks apart the oil into something called

a myself a little oil bubble that's wrapped in this solving the in the hydrophilic you know lipophilic into them and they form little packages around there or else which says spins the oil in the water column they're called myself these my cells go around and they absorb onto biological tissue they're absorbing on to sand grains they're absorbing onto raindrop particles they're absorbing up into the clouds and they're raining down as stinging rain on people who then get rashes just like this person's urge assigned to go through limpets in the oriel they go through the lip in the sound they break down the sound wall which is a liquid membrane they take that whale into the sound into the organs were rattling their delivery system for it to go around lying around itself is toxic to every organ system in. bonding the mixture of dispersant and whale is much more

toxic then either oil or dispersant fisherman here have been exposed to this mixture they have literally got ulcerated skin it's not hard to find these people we have between four to five million people in this directly affected area of the coast and it's pretty clear why it's not being reported because b.p. can't afford to have it reported and by default u.s. government can't afford to have it reported the ones who can afford to move have moved and the ones that can't are just begging for help. this is hugh callistemon he has worked for the p.a. for four decades as the lead researcher on toxics blew the whistle on high levels of toxics at the now famous love canal he also blew the whistle on the need to protect nine eleven cleanup workers from exposure to toxic dust and now he's trying

to blow the whistle on the toxic dispersants used by b.p. dispersions. and they're used to. so that it's not as visible to the public and other words are used for a cover up or will alone in a body of water will rise to the surface there it's collectable it's containable but instead of actually containing it there dispersant was used of the eighteen dispersants on the e.p.a.'s authorized list twelve are more effective on the easy and a sweet crude than correction the peak chose to use the only dispersant so toxic that it's banned its own country of england the pail ever has been reluctant to stop using core which we're told has been bay and in great britain for the last ten years. it's toxic human beings on may fifteenth two thousand and

ten the e.p.a. approved b.p. to use carex it under the surface of the water b.p. and its contractors started injecting thousands of gallons of corrected a day into the cult when they decided to do the subsurface injection that you serve a robot or to shoot the dispersants down at the blowout site five thousand feet below the surface of the gulf that had never been done before. four days later the e.p.a. issued an order giving b.p. twenty four hours to find a less toxic dispersant b.p. chief operating officer doug suttles responded by saying that b.p. would continue to use carex it. will be shared was a set up to protect the pier. and and sort of do a dance for a few days b.p. use a tremendous amount of this persons and the e.p.a.

says you've got to cut back seventy five percent. and so b.p. cut back seventy five percent but they increased it so much they kept using the same. in january of two thousand and nine president obama appointed lisa jackson to head the e.p.a. jackson the louisiana native hold to a graduate degree in chemical engineering from princeton and is very familiar with the a facts of chemicals because there are scientific unknowns we had to make the decisions that a series of trade offs and basically in common language it was either nothing or in moderation. b.p.'s penalties. are tied to how much oil. has been released who are the head of the fisa if you say i would either ban or limit the use. dispersants could you have the power to

act unilaterally i believe my d chairman but i do want my lawyers to get you a response i know going in but but that's a question you needed to know from day one ms jackson for cleve forget about the natural resource the average joes for releasing the oil just for releasing oil. tins of billions of dollars of farm well if you can see. how much oil was released. those penalties down from twenty five billion to maybe one or two billion . billion dollars here a billion dollars are you talking real moving. the company that makes correct it now coke is a joint venture with exxon mobil that's received over twenty four million dollars in u.s. government contracts over the past decade. now co-chairs directors with b.p. and exxon mobil. according to its own web site now co has some pretty influential

fans so from here to here this is the scope the distance about five hundred miles. west detroit problems central nervous system problems the headaches and dizziness and nausea and the skin problems the intense rashes there are hundreds of thousands of people who are dosed with high amounts of toxic material the more risk of having severe health effects often we're told don't worry honey we'll take care of you and it won't hurt we only dan find out that a very good product what we thought was a good product turns out to have vial consequences i don't want dispersants to be the agent. of this bill.

b.p. responding with a clear exit because chemical dispersant is the best option to come in at night. with these bridges roads and common ground. to damage. done to. the two houses you're saying today that b.p. has had no reza speaking. of them similar to this phone call we've had some corruption but i mean i thought it was that this has anyone been thinking inside because of this incident mood solution maybe just think if they throw enough money to good old american looks like a successful on the phone calls in a clumsy american people that you can get a little i think this is a. system.

after even more scrutiny surrounding b.p.'s continued use of correct said b.p. quietly announced in july they had stopped spraying dispersant oil was gone and so were the dead animals. to verify this we interviewed keith seal an b.p.'s incident commander but b.p. denied permission to use this interview. three months later in september he snuck onto beaches where b.p. was working to find the truth or selves. at night the oil was clearly visible beaches or some young fish as you can see there climbed up into a clump of well dead wildlife was also prevalent now risking ourselves by turning these only the lights on. to tell that something is in there i'm going to have

a. respirators on the. t.v. station is just right across this cut. despite b.p.'s claims they had stopped spraying our cameras caught the still transporting and spraying dispersants. he should be sure any of them catch it right now to spread it right now i. can't think of a place like louisiana as the state it is an oil it is only controlled by the oil industry. i ran one of the regulatory agencies in resound whose environmental quality agency the oil and gas industry lobbyist run our halls every

day i mean they're talking to people in the. agency that might have some say over how they would regulate or like this same time they're making campaign contributions in every election that comes along when the time comes for a vote i've seen the oil and gas industry for example kill environmental bills just by putting the. where's the trust element here because even if they even if we have these internet groups break themselves away or attempt to break away from the n.s.a. they have other ways of finding getting into data anyway so there's a. good day to become a doctor and i think one of the things that screw the surprising about what the n.s.a. tried to do is that they tried to find every possible way of getting data but we all know that other governments have surveillance and that governments are actually working with them so it's not just the united states it's the governments you know

if you're among the know what is what do we think james bond and all those kind of things that stuff happened way before the internet so i agree with you completely but great the difference is that the u.s. government says we don't do these things and we keep finding out that they do these things and even more. well talking about language as well but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution to know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to say to mr kerry you have a car as i'm going to talk you know god i. think you know more weasel words. when you made a direct question and me prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a. pretty speech. down to freedom to crush.

lists plug. the. it's the same corruption that effects the louisiana happens on a larger scale in washington. comes from texas oklahoma louisiana the political structure the economic structure of those states or so the oil is where the number one issues. one thing that is unique about the museum is where a tiny state politically we have single digits in terms of electoral votes but we have an incredible influence on on the national political scene the senate is the

most now apportioned body in the world you have two sitters from each state you have two senators from louisiana and two senators from california the california if it was a nation would be the seventh largest nation in the world or louisiana is not close to that. the senate say only legislative assembly in the world that has a super majority to get things done they need sixty votes to get things done so it only takes a few senators to stop the initiative of the house of representatives. the senate has the power to veto any bill created in the house up to one hundred eleven energy related belts proposed in the last decade every bill that contain provisions for alternative energy was blocked. the only bills that became law with the five that subsidized fossil fuels and nuclear. another factor that contributes to the lack of regulation by congress is the proverbial revolving door. on

a congressional delegation is known as the all delegations are senators when every tarak go to work as a lobbyist for walling gas there's a two year. cooling off period before you could become a lobbyist out of the senate senator lott resigned from the senate one month before the end of the session so he didn't have to wait two years he only had to wait one year and then he had a party with john breaux invited all kinds of people to celebrate when the one year was over and now the. a lobbying firm is very successful they have lots of energy clients lots of oil and violence little plants gas clients and them a lot of power. your of the oil industry which is enormously powerful which provides huge amounts of money in campaign contributions but this is

a very very short law if you present oh dear it washington d.c. and they've got a number of people on the leash. with only five hundred thirty congress members the ratio of lobbyists to congress in d.c. is almost one hundred to one there's probably one hundred thousand people in the lobbying business in washington d.c. so it's big business after the federal government lobbying is the next biggest business in washington d.c. . lobbyists function as the razor to guard dogs from big industry making sure congress does their bidding but big loyal uses a far more aggressive means of tightening its leash around congress' neck here's the reality you're sitting there is a billionaire you make money a little bit making money maybe your exxon mobile you should know contribute to self only trump organization which can then what millions and millions of millions of dollars on television ads in two campaigns hold to this country what it really

is saying is that we are giving unbelievable power to a handful of people who control the politics and the nature of our democracy. on a national scale fuel companies have huge power over our government. but didn't we throw those oil guys out in the last election. didn't we elect the guy who is going to change things. i believe that americans of every political stripe are desperate they are hungry for a new kind of hope that. most people who will go to go in because they care about what happens there to change something. i will never forget this victory truly belongs to us. it belongs to you.

belong to you. broke obama over in the most successful campaign ever it was very smart it was very well done it was particularly laid out and they capitalized on the desperation in this country and it was so prevalent i don't want the full tilt to bring about a sensible energy policy discovery at some level billion dollars this past quarter . to give up the profits is going. to go a lot of people on the left to demonize president bush thought it was all about evil president bush and if you could just get rid of bush and lightnin it would take over interviewed all be driving around in solar powered cars and life would be beautiful within three or four weeks. old chris hedges it's a form of your correspondent author of nine books and a member of the new york times pulitzer prize winning team

a democracy gives expression to the desires and concerns of ordinary citizens whether that's through the press labor unions whether that's culture and oligarchy access to him. co-ops all those institutions if you are a billion it you can sit down and say ok i'm going to put three hundred thousand dollars into the race in colorado four hundred thousand dollars into mexico half a million dollars into vermont and yours for the money and nobody has to know who i am i can do that with no disclosure whatsoever this is a huge step backwards for democracy it's a step forward for oligarchy or a handful of extraordinarily wealthy individuals and large corporations have a major major major influence over all political life after the obama administration came in with this big hopes of changing everything getting serious about energy getting serious about global warming in certain ways has been as

disappointing as president bush was. there's a great deal of in tipis the distrust even anger toward liberals and i don't think it's misplaced it was the democratic party under bill clinton that deregulated the banking system allowed our commercial banks to become hedge funds and precipitated the meltdown that we are now undergoing. this was done consciously bill clinton understood that if he did corporate bidding he would get over money can buy the one nine hundred ninety s. the democratic party late ninety's and fund raising parity with the republican party and by the time barack obama ran for president they got more. when have the american people been as betrayed investing so much hope energy money and brock obama's campaign. today we're announcing the expansion of offshore oil and gas exploration.

take responsibility for solving this crisis and the president and the buck stops with me. obama flies down to florida jumps in the water. he sleep with his daughter for the photo op and from that point on most of the media has left beaches all along the gulf coast are clean they are safe and they're open for business that's one of the reasons michelle sasha and i are here. in reality neither he nor his daughter touched the water of the gulf they swam at st andrews bay a protected area. what happened with safety regulations in the gulf of mexico in the wake of the b.p. disaster rename a couple of agencies change a couple of faces business as usual full steam ahead what does that tell you. the administration that it promised us change made no alteration to be antiquated spill response plan that still cites wall versus as the most threatened species in

the gulf of mexico and it still lists deceased people as the contacts increase when emergency. obama might have had a good reason to tread carefully when he dealt the spill the largest oil consumer in the world is the u.s. department of defense and guess which company is the pentagon's single largest supplier of fuel to b.p. is the single largest oil contributor to the pentagon the us war machine is heavily reliant upon b.p. and their oil. during the last ten years b.p. has been the single largest energy contractor to the various branches of the u.s. military receiving over seventeen billion dollars in direct contracts for jet and diesel fuel oil is true and b.p. in particular is crucial to the military intelligence and diplomatic complex.

on june sixteenth two thousand and ten obama called a meeting at the white house with b.p.'s c.e.o. tony hayward it's managing director bob dudley and its chairman of the board carl and rex bamberg. u.s. government took no action against b.p. or its executives instead it agreed that b.p. would simply create the claims fine for victims of the oil spill the people of the gulf have my commitment that b.p. will meet its obligations to the. b.p. is probably pledged to make good on the claims that it almost of the people in the gulf. large oil companies are greedy companies or don't. think lazy the weak have. four days after his meeting with president obama tony hayward was enjoying

a yacht race in england. instead of being fired in the wake of the gulf oil spill hayward was sent to run b.p.'s operations in russia and it's back to business as usual you can throw out tony hayward just another one out of their frankenstein machine with a different hairdo and a different name they all operate the same you've got to get the oil out the cheapest way is the filthiest most dangerous way in the most corrupt way. that's what makes these guys rich. by january of two thousand and eleven the obama administration announced it would start issuing permits for new drilling operations in the gulf of mexico why you may wonder big oil is paying the federal government or percentage of walty that comes out of each barrel that comes out of the ground it's an enormous amount of money. behind the i.r.s.

the collection of offshore oil field revenues and royalties is the second largest generator of money for the united states government. the first new permit issued by the. administration was for a while in the gulf of mexico operated in partnership with b.p. . has displayed a simple model in charge of being responsible for the. soonest searching for the. past me a valve the impossible are so you there is a pad open for the masses of pursuit. and this stuff. to see.
