6:28 am
u.s.s. quincy the king remarked, "aren't you lucky to have something like that to move you around." in return, president roosevelt gave the arthritic king his spare wheelchair. that gift became one of king aziz's most treasured possessions. thus was fworn u.s.-sawed -- saudi arabia alliance. later in return for u.s. assistance in finding water in saudi arabia's arid arabia peninsula and for security against foreign threats, saudi arabia provided the u.s. with oil. for a time the alliance was fortuitous. water and oil was found. and the united states received barrels of oil at prices comparable to a case of pepsi-cola. but then came the israel-arab yom kippur war of 1973. in response to u.s. support for
6:29 am
exports, causing inflation and economic damage in the united states. enter the u.s. secretary of state, henry kissinger, who called for a policy of u.s. energy independence. eventually exports resumed but the u.s. and the saudis, their relationship was frayed. still, thanks to a boom in our domestic energy production, u.s. energy independence now seems to be on the horizon. later this month, congress will vote on a bill to lift a ban on oil exports. congress imposed the ban in 1975 in the face of dwindling u.s. oil reserves. here's how sponsoring congressman joe barton explained for overturning the ban. >> no other nation in the world has the capability that the united states of america has to substantially increase our oil production, but in order to do
6:30 am
that, mr. chairman, we simply must repeal this outdated ban on crude oil exports. the bill before us today would do that. it is a bipartisan bill. we have almost 10% of the democratic caucus as an original co-sponsor of the bill. john: should we lift the oil export ban? and you followed that history, right? pat: sure, the king met in the great bitter lake after f.d.r. was coming back from the yalta conference. f.d.r. was about two months from being dead. they cut a deal between the two of them basically to cut the brits out of the future in the middle east and replace it with the americans. i do agree to an extent with lifting the ban. we're trading oil now with mexico. we get some of theirs, they get ours. the same with the canadians. i don't think it's a bad idea. you go up into the alaskan oil, which some of that can go to russia. i think that given the fact that fracking has really added american production and any oil
6:31 am
reduces the price of oil overall in the world and thereby reduces our own price of gasoline. i think modern economics, this is one where i may agree with the "wall street journal." [laughter] eleanor: not surprisingly i don't. [laughter] i think it does seem like an outdated ban but it makes no sense with oil prices now below $40 a barrel. it doesn't make economic sense to be exporting oil. it doesn't make national security sense. we should be storing oil, keeping it in the ground for the future. we don't need it now. and it doesn't make climate change sense. the people who are pushing for this, that congressman is from texas. they just want to sell more oil and they want to drill for more oil. that does not make sense and democrats in the senate, you would need 60 votes to push this bill forward. you're not going to get 60 democrats. it's dead in the water. dead in the oil.
6:32 am
david: you can't have it both ways, eleanor. you can't say that it makes no economic sense to lift this ban and then say they just want to lift this ban because they want to sell more oil. yes, the market is telling them there's a market for oil. it's not as if america will run out of oil if allowed to export some. this is a gigantic fight between people who drill for oil and people who refine oil. and for complicated reasons having the actual ban in place makes american oil cheap because it can't be sold abroad. so the refiners are making out like bandits because they can buy american oil very cheaply so they like the ban. the refiners like the ban. like the ban. there's plenty of oil. of oil. eleanor: it's a political fight and senator marky is leading the fight against it in the senate and i respect his views way more than i do people who represent the oil industry. john: what's in the best
6:33 am
clarence: i just paid $2.50 a gallon on my way here. yeah, i mean 2.50. in washington, d.c., that's right. a few years ago when we were hollering about when will gas be under $4 again? then you had a sense of urgency about having more oil to sell. right now the industry can't sell the oil they've got because the prices are so low. they're waiting. i don't blame them. if you're going to lift the embargo why not now while both oil and the sense of urgency is low? i see why democrats oppose this because they want to get everybody to alternative energy. pat: it's not a big oil producing state where marky is from. eleanor: right. so there have it's about money versus people representing the industry. pat: what the companies want to do. obviously it's good eleanor: it's an industry that needs to be phased out.
6:34 am
we need a sustainable emergency source. pat: she wants to get rid of oil. eleanor: it's unnecessary. to lift it. pat: how can you argue for it if industry? for lifting the ban? pat: the more oil that'sout there, the lower the price goes, clarence is going to be spending a buck a gallon pretty soon. eleanor: tell that to the saudis who basically control this market and they're flooding it because they want to interfere with -- diplomatically adding to no economic sense, no national security sense, no climate change sense and no diplomatic sense either, i would add. peter o.: john: exporting more u.s. oil
6:35 am
will hope the industry. pat: the more you sell abroad the more capital will go into it. you're making more and more money. david: examine -- when is it good to ban anything? john: lift the ban. eleanor: no, i'm taking my clue from the pope. i don't think the pope would be for more oil on the market. john: you want to lift the ban? david: yeah, lift the ban. john: you want to lift the ban? clarence: yes, lift the ban.
6:36 am
we all want to lift the ban. we are the largest and most diverse school district in america! yet we are one!

6:38 am
john: issue two -- the pope and washington. pope francis: i would like all the men and women of good will in this great nation to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world and to stimulate integral and inclusive models of development. john: pope francis is the leader of 1.2 billion roman catholics. and this week, he visited washington, new york and philadelphia. the pontiff offered a call to
6:39 am
alms. that's alms. alms. americans, he said, should do more to help the most vulnerable citizens of the world. but while the pontiff's speeches, meetings, and parades were met with joy by many americans, not everyone was pleased. in a landmark speech thursday to 535 members of congress -- minus a few absentees, pope francis stepped into a cauldron of american partisan politics. here's what he said to the republicans, who are skeptical about his and president obama's belief in man-made global warming. pope francis: i call for a courageous and responsible effort to redirect our steps and to avert the most serious effects of the environmental
6:40 am
activity. john: in another implicit riposte to conservatives, the pontiff also said the united states should ban the death penalty, and he suggested that capitalist economic management is morally flawed. pope francis: it goes without saying that part of this great effort is the creation and distribution of wealth. the right use of natural resources, the proper application of technology and the harnessing of the spirit of enterprise are essential elements of an economy which seeks to be modern, inclusive and sustainable. john: this controversy
6:41 am
the pontiff's relative avoidance of social issues like abortion and gay marriage in favor of economic issues like redirection -- redistribution of wealth. the catholic church still opposes abortion and gay marriage, but many catholics believe pope francis has unwisely relegated those concerns to a secondary role. the "new york times" described the pontiff's speech as "tilting to the left." was the speech left of center? clarence: i would say on the whole, yeah. it could have been farther left, though. he was not as critical of capitalism as he has been in the past. in fact, as "the wall street journal" of all places pointed out, he mentioned when talking about when being humane toward immigrants, including illegal immigrants, he pointed out that they're drawn to this
6:42 am
country because of the prosperity of this most capitalistic of countries, if you will. i thought the speech really tried to go down the middle. have enough there to offend both sides, if you will, but not so deeply offend that it would flavor of the speech. john: did you hear his criticism of finance in the markets? clarence: it wasn't as bad, if you will, as previous speecheses. eleanor: he toned that down quite a bit. john: less critical than previous speeches. that says a lot. what about open borders to environmental degradation. clarence: as borders go, i thought it was very much in keeping with the new testment idea of welcoming in the stranger. he did go with the idea of humans having something to do with climate change, which is the view of --
6:43 am
danger. clarence: it is a grave danger. look at the fires going on out west. john: but the pew research says 52% of americans think climate change is not a serious science. -- problem. clarence: the consensus of scientists say it is a serious problem. john: how many times have you found scientists to be wrong? clarence: more and more americans are turning that way. the more fires, hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes. john: you put that in your book and remind yourself every day, scientists are right most of the time. not 100% of the time. eleanor: actually, the weight of scientific opinion is that the claimant is changing and that man's activities has a lot to do with it. the pope brought some moral clarity to that. he's not just speaking to americans. he's speaking around the world and people, especially poor people are already feeling the impact of climate change. and the pope is not changing
6:44 am
church doctrine. he is changing the tone of how the church -- he's brought the church past the scandals. he's opened the minds of blessed catholics and noncatholics to look at this church anew. he is the best apostle of the catholic church, and the way he went over and shook john kerry's hand. the senate who ran for president in 2004 that the church wanted to deny communion. that was a wonderful grace note. and the republican contenders can learn you don't have to change your core beliefs but you can sure change the way you address people and go to the world in a much more welcoming way. three cities, because philadelphia is next, basically stopped and listened to this pope and it was a much welcomed message. john: that has little to do with what his views are. what about the death penalty? is that in accord with american views? eleanor: it has a lot to do with
6:45 am
his views. he wants it universally abolished. penalty. what about abortion? do the pope and public agree? office in america. john: he's still making political pronouncements. david: he's making moral --." . he believes, and you may disagree, that climate change will affect poor countries before it will affect rich countries. to him it's all consistent and i think all you're really saying is that his concern for the poor and most vulnerable across a range of issues, whether it's an unborn child or poor people facing the death penalty or poor countries facing the climate change doesn't fit into america's very distinctive left-right template. i think from his point of view it's perfectly consistent. john: what about abortion? do the pope and public agree? the sans no.
6:46 am
"some of the time." david: that's the weird thing about the role of a priest in society. they take pure positions. john: if he uses a political talking like a political person? pat: he's a religious leader. john: is he characterizing moves by congress through a moral bent? pat: on matters of faith and morals, he is not a traditionalist. he is entertaining ideas which have caused the church itself to be in confusion and division. politically he is clearly a man of the left on economics and politics and climate change and all the rest of it. he does not speak authoritatively morally on those
6:47 am
issues at all. you ought to respect what he says but there's no need to go along with it. eleanor: he is capable of bringing more people -- almost 40% of american catholics are now hispanic. they view him as their pope, their savior. catholics for the first time feel that they have a home in this church. the church is not only for anti-abortion activists. pat: the pope cannot change matters of faith and moral on which the church has preached and taught infallibly for 2,000 years. john: was he admonishing the chamber? pat: he has a point of view about the death penalty. but it's not a matter of faith and morality. people can be good catholics and oppose it or good catholics and support it. eleanor: his tone was on the mark and those lawmakers received him warmly. they applauded. they gave him a standing ovation. i don't think they felt like
6:48 am
all and i think the pope's appearance there probably tipped speaker boehner over the edge in declaring his resignation from the congress. john: is he a politician instead of a pope? pat: let me agree with what eleanor said in this sense. what he said he said softly on both sides of the spectrum. gently he said about life, i think a little too gently but there's no doubt, even on the matter of climate change it was very gentle and economic. it wasn't like his previous statement that capitalism delivers the dung of the devil. john: right. david: what about variety a.m. -- environmental damage? clarence: he did consider being a politician, by the way, before going to the priesthood. john: what? clarence: he was considering politics early on. i think it was back when he was a bar bouncer in his youth. but he decided to go into the clergy instead.
6:49 am
