and keystone poses real risks. over the last few years a litany of tragedying failures have reinforced the need for pipeline safety standards. in 2011 another exxonmobil pipeline ruptured in montana spilling crude oil into the yellowstone river. the oil was carried hundreds of miles down the river threatening the livelihoods of ranchers. in july 2010, a pipeline carrying tar sands oil ruptured in michigan. over 800,000 of gallons flowed into the kalamazoo river. it has proven harder to clean up than conventional crude oil. transcanada and its supporters have repeatedly assured the public and the congress that we shouldn't worry about this pipeline carrying tar sands sludge through the middle of america and across the aquifer. they say it will be ultrasafe state-of-the-art pipeline. the problem, though, is that we've heard this before. transcanada's first keystone pipeline, which brings canadian tar sands oil to refineries in illinois and oklahoma, shouldn't inspire confidence. this was a brand new supposedly state-

adams: i rise against keystone bill. keystone will create 35 permanent jobs. republicans say it will guarantee u.s. energy independence. false. there's no concrete assurance oil produced by the pipeline will remain in the u.s. along with these economic shortcomings, u.s. taxpayers bear the risk if a catastrophic spill occurs. we need job growth and not hypotheticals. we must be focused on clean energy and infrastructure jobs to create jobs and boost our economy. with no real impact on energy creation or job -- on job creation or energy security, it benefits no one except transcanada. our people deserve better than to be collateral damage for this project. i stand opposed to the keystone pain pipeline act. i urge my colleagues to volt no. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the chair will postpone further proceedings today on motions to suspend the rules on which a recorded vote or the yeas and nays are ordered or on which the vote incurs objection under clause 6 of rule 20.

it's just a question of how we think about it. >> but keystone is just part of the problem. steyer says the bigger climate issue is how tar sands oil is recovered from the canadian countryside. 20% of the oil is mixed in sandy soil lying just below the surface and is strip mined and spun in centrifuges to separate the oil from the dirt. the remaining 80% is trapped hundreds of feet below solid rock. steam is injected underground to loosen the oil and it is pumped out. the thick tarlike crude must be mixed with chemicals to make it flow through the pipeline. tar sands require 70% more energy to extract than traditional oil. >> this is a gigantic mining operation in the middle of nowhere. they want to take production by 2025, more than double it. >> and your job is to make sure that never comes out of the ground? >> well, look, from my point of view -- i'm not a scientist. the scientists say it would be devastatingly terrible for the seven billion people on the earth if it does. >> when we return, tom steyer looks outside the box for answers. >> i actually believe that the sol

even after an accident, this defeating keystone could be a long shot. if you look at the polls, two thirds of americans do support the keystone pipeline, and that number hasn't budged. >> it really hasn't. >> it seems you are a minority. >> i think this is a topic in which people don't understand what it is, and it is always presented as either we do this or we do nothing. that's absolutely not true. we are not going to run the society without energy. it is just a question of how we think about it. >> keystone is just part of the problem. he says the biggest issue is how oil is recovered from the canadian countryside. 20% of the oil is mixed in sandy soil lying just beneath the surface. mined and spun in centrifuges to separate the oil from the dirt. the remaining 80% is trapped hundreds of feet below solid rock. steam is injected to loosen the oil. it is pumped out. the thick tar like crude must then be mixed with chemicals to make it flow to the pipeline. this requires 70% more to energy to extract than traditional oil. >> this is a gigantic mining op

and, at this point, the debate over the keystone xl pipeline. >> for six years, the debate over the keystone xl pipeline has often dominated beltway politics. >> if it's ever built, the pipeline will carry crude extracted from the tar sands of alberta canada some 1,700 miles to nebraska, but it has been stalled for six years at the canadian border awaiting the president's approval. >> jon: oh! poor lonely pipeline! i don't know why the oil doesn't just go around america this way and just sneak in from the mexican side. apparently, we don't even patrol that area! (laughter) but obviously the keystone pipeline is an incredibly contentious issue. i imagine the new congress is gonna want to put an issue like this on ice for a bit and start small with some other less divisive legislation. >> first item up in the new senate will be the keystone xl pipeline. >> i can confirm for you that if this bill passes this congress the president wouldn't sign it. >> jon: gonna be a fun two years! (laughter) well, first thing we're gonna do is poke you in the chest! well, i can assure you the president will br

senate bill one partisan legislation for the keystone xl pipeline. i want to thank my colleagues who are here today. this really is pretty simple. the keystone xl pipeline is a good idea for our economy, and a good idea for our country. members of both parties know it. they put politics aside and passed it is very important bill. the president's own state permits as this will create jobs. many labor unions know it. they say it is a lifeline for america's workers. of the overwhelming majority of the american people know it as well. do the right thing. sign this bill and help us create more jobs in america and create a healthier economy. >> on behalf of the 3 million people i represent, i want to thank you for your tenacity in not giving up on this. we are excited to be at this point. we urge the president of the united states to put our men and women back to work across the length of this pipeline as soon as possible. we urge the president to sign the bill. thank you. >> the new majority is getting congress back to work for the american people. the pa

we will talk about that story in the moment, but first, the keystone.ert davis, your response to the veto, but the fact that it does not mean keystone is over? >> great to be here. this fight is long from over. the president clearly has enough information to cancel this project. this vote, this bill that was sent to the president yesterday is a charade. if anything, it is an indication of the power of the oil industry over this country. the fact that senate bill number one, the very first order of business when the republicans took over the senate was an oil pipeline for foreign oil company to get through our country. our country is an obstacle for this company to get their oil to international markets. and that was the first priority of our congress when they came back from that victorious election. that is the first thing you need to realize. the president needs to cancel the project. they're going through the bureaucratic process of letting the state department review and everything but we need to stop listening to the oil companies and do what is ri

keystone was very little of that. and i believe science. i believe the facts that the keystone pipeline contributes too much to climate change. and people lost their water last summer, and i know my state, and i know the keystone pipeline was not good for my state. >> when you started, when you showed up to your first day of work for this congress and you thought about where you would be six weeks later, how is where we are different or similar to what your conception of life around republican rule would be like. >> i thought they would get a better start. it's hard to break the habit when your dna doesn't allow you to say yes. that appears to be in speaker boehner's dna. it's hard to break that habilitate. they have not broken that habit yet that is why they have run this congress yet into the ground. they're serious threat of the government shut down. something they didn't think mitch mcconnell -- i figured he'd find away to avoid that. speaker boehner, they have not figured out how to do anything much positive. they passed an antisuicide

we cited the original keystone pipeline. not one into that had to be condemned. 216 miles through our state nine counties, several pumping stations two rivers. we know how to get energy infrastructure dealt in a way that protects the environment, protects people, and acts as energy security. create good paying jobs, jobs that pay three to four times more than the average job in the united states. we saw how it revitalized small towns along the route and how it provided rural electric cooperatives. we saw firsthand how small town retailers, hotel owners, cap is, hardware stores, local aggregate companies, workers, truck drivers, railroads -- good paying jobs. people in the middle class live for that, the very thing our president says he wants to do. this project does. my appeal today is to the president of the united states. we know there has been a lot of rhetoric. i evening knowledge that politics is a part of it. we are all creatures of politics and we understand that we have to make changes and compromise. the fact is tha

larry: do you believe the keystone --larry: charlie: do you believe the keystone pipeline is necessary? larry: it is more of a simple today. the fact that we did not do keystone -- i was not against doing keystone when it was proposed, with the fact that we did not do keystone, we became more active in north dakota in producing more oil. we actually became more self-reliant because we did not do keystone. charlie: not doing keystone had a positive impact. larry: yes. it had a very positive impact to the companies that transport like the trains. charlie: why build it? larry: the question i would raise, we have witnessed over the last few years some very horrid thick -- horrific accidents with trains transporting oil. if you want to talk about the risk of these oil tankers going through towns, don't you think a pipeline is safer? i'm not going to get into a political debate. i did not understand why we vetoed it originally. it to me, it is now more political. do we need it today? no. my strong view is that north america is the best place to be in the world today. xcode, canada, and the u

we turn our focus to the keystone xl pipeline. supporters in car was try to override president obama lost -- and congress try to override president obama's veto, another threat has emerged. our guest follows the commodities markets for bloomberg news he joins me in studio. great story on bloomberg.com and the terminal. bloomberg through an open records request has obtained information that outlines how extreme and in some cases how ugly the fight over this pipeline has become. when do we know about how keystone opponents and transcanada have handled themselves through the holding? >> that's right. a lot of people are probably familiar with what the environmental activist have done . they have organized marches and a mistreated in cities and were also in texas and oklahoma when transcanada was building the southern part of the pipeline basically trying to block construction. what we didn't know was how transcanada responded to that, that is what the documents show. transcanada met with law enforcement officials both local and fbi,

plus the senate passes a keystone pipeline deal as the president sets his sights on a new target. is alaska ground zero for the next energy showdown? and mitt romney bows out as two gop governors inch closer to a 2016 run. who is most likely to benefit from his exit? >> so the serious future can begin. the only way to bring stability and peace to syria is going to be for assad to step down. >> assad needs to go. he needs to transfer power to a transitional body that is the only way we're going to resolve this crisis. >> welcome to the "journal editorial report." well, after repeatedly calling for the oust of assad is president obama changing his policy? sources are leaking that the president thinks assad and his regime may be part of the solution. as the priority shifts to defeating islamic state. this as moderate syrian rebels claim that u.s. money and supplies have all but dried up over the past several months. even as the president touted american support for the opposition in his state of the union address. so has the administration quietly changed the syrian policy in the mid

senator hoeven's amendment had similar language as well as some pro--keystone language and a-- pro-keystone language and attracted a dozen or so republican votes. without acknowledging the problem, we cannot even begin to work on it. the wall of denial has begun to crack. so now we have a denial of, depending on how it's phrase phrased even a potential supermajority? the senate saying that climate change is real. now most every serious person in public life either admits the basic facts of climate change or is on their way to et going there. -- to getting there. so that's a good thing. now the question is, what should we do? given our regional differences our ideological difnses differences and the partisan divide, what comes next? later this year or next we'll see efforts to repeal a number of important environmental rules, especially the administration's clean power plan, which will regulate carbon pollution from existing in new power plants. but that, too is highly unlikely to result in anything other than a presidential veto. so are there any areas for potential common ground? well i th

they talk a good game about rejecting keystone but why not override? even if they reduce but they do it to agree on keystone and let them explain. talking about the executive orders on illegal immigration than what about tough border enforcements to see what he does about that? and insisting he plays patty cake so why not take those murders and images of the kidnappings? they can talk a good game but taking the president over his orders they're just playing games a wonder the president feels free to do what he does he figured that republicans will not do anything against what he says. katrina, what do you think? >> they have already admitted defeat before this even started when mitch mcconnell says wave though white flag. so in this last election cycle we campaigned against amnesty and against everything the president is doing and they will not fight it there may be enough to override the veto but they're not even willing to fight that is a problem with this party but essentially they will campaign on policy but won't cover and accordingly stick. neil:

so when the house passed keystone pipeline and the senate passed keystone pipeline in a bipartisan way the president issues a veto threat, that's what these folks are upset about. they're upset with an administration that doesn't recognize that more energy and more jobs for this country are good things. >> the union doesn't have as much leverage as it did now that oil prices have plunged 5% since june fueled by a supply surge worldwide in part because of the biggest ever domestic oil boom. but the last walkout in 1980 lasted three months. unless this walkout sputters out soon, this could mean a little pain for you at the pump if it sends oil prices higher, gas could go up as well. harris, back to you. >> brenda, thank you so much. you heard brenda talking politics there. the political insiders will join me and we'll talk a little bit about this. the timing is interesting because the white house has just been touting those lower gas prices as relief for the middle class. so the timing of this is really interesting. we'll chat about it. the daughter of singing legend whit ne houston is i

let's start yesterday, the news broke on the president and keystone and the veto. you heard many of those concerned to some degree obviously the veto was no surprise, but who are concerned how the president has handled the keystone back and forth. you say this is an example of the more aggressive stance and successful one so far from this president. >> i think absolutely. i mean he in many ways he is moving forward with what he can do with these sorts of executive actions and vetoes. this is the third veto of his presidency, but he already issued something like ten or more veto threats, saying if republicans do this i am not going to be signing this legislation. republicans meanwhile are showing they can't even agree within their own caucus and might lead to another partial government shutdown which is what mitch mcconnell said he wanted to avoid when he became majority leader he wanted to show republicans in power weren't scary. shutting down an agency in the government is scary to people even if it doesn't paralyze everything like it did last time. right now, rep

president obama vetoed the ke keystone pipeline. the administration does not think the pipeline would cut oil prices or create many jobs. the white house is waiting for a review of the project. the veto, only the third of obama hospira and see. janet yellen -- obama's presidency. the fed chair got the attention of investors when she told the senate banking committee that an interest rate increase is in the works. >> the modification should be understood as reflecting the committee's judgment the conditions have improved to the point where it will soon be at the case that the change in the target range could be warranted. betty: yellen will faced questions from house financial services panel. greece has more work to do if it wants to keep getting aid. the new reforms from alexis tsipras clear the way for a four-month extension of the bailout. the imf managing director says the plans may not meet the lenders' benchmarks. christine lagarde says greece must do more. ukraine talks yesterday between foreign ministers broke down to finger-

that is what keystone is about. not politics, not the cap -- democrat and republican, it is about jobs, energy, infrastructure. it is about hope. president obama was once about that too. that is why i am appealing to him to sign the bill and let us finally build the pipeline, get our people working. thank you for listening and of course, happy valentine's day. >> this film was based on the work of debra lewis, her groundbreaking book about black photographers. it is also aware that there is a another narrative going on, in which black people were constructed, post-slavery and even at the end of slavery as something other than human. it was part of the marketing for the photographs and memorabilia. now they would be considered declasse but in some ways they are haunting us in terms of the way that we might see ourselves, in terms that we want to see others. >> sunday night, it :00 eastern -- 8:00 eastern. >> louisiana governor bobby jindal talked about education policy and took questions on foreign affairs and his ow

should we start with keystone first? >> reporter: sure. the house is now passed the senate bill on keystone with 29 democratic votes. that's not enough to override the veto that president obama has promised. so we're looking for that bill to go to the president fairly quickly. for the president to veto it and then we're going to find out whether or not there are negotiations between democrats and republicans on some sort of compromise in which the president might allow keystone to go forward in return from some concession for republicans, but republican aids on capitol hill telling no negotiations have begun yet. >> the president sent i guess a resolution up to capitol hill today seeking the ability to wage war on isis. will he get it? >> repor yes, he'll eventually get it. it will take weeks, perhaps months to work through this. you have democrats who think that this provides too much room for an additional military conflict. remember president obama proposed to end the iraq war and republicans who think that ties the president's hand too

and keystone is not that important. i think what's more important to consider is we have been talking about oil a few years here. and it's starting to act like a mid cap stock. this is the largest commodity in the world and the volatility, and it's unbelievable. i think that's what's worrisome. you've got to keep an eye on oil and the u.s. dollar, it affects the price of commodities, but the way that oil moving, i think there's volatility not only in the market, but in the commodities as well. liz: keith, look, short the dollar, not short the dollar, but aside from the dollar, where are you seeing money flowing in on the floor? you know, you're the middle man. you're dealing with buyers and sellers and you really get to see the action from the inside. where are people looking for yields right now? >> well, there's absolutely a confidence within the market despite the modest pullback that you'll see in some herky jerkiness if you will in the market intraday. money is flowing into the growth sectors and into consumer disc

she's being asked questions, for example, about the keystone x.l. pipeline. guess what?he's taken donations for that foundation from the company that's promoting the pipeline. so this would appear to put her in a very difficult ethical situation. i think it's beyond the point of saying ethically dubious. i think it's unethical. jon: the kingdom of saudi arabia has given between $10 million and $25 million since the creation of the foundation in 1999. >> look. i think juan is right. there may not be a technically legal violation going on here because she's not technically declared she's running yet but at the same time and i think that's why they're doing this. they know once she declares she's running, they're probably going to have to close it again so they want to rake in the money while that window is open. the problem is that first of all, clintons have always had a blind spot when it comes to financial stuff. they've always stretched the limits whether it was fundraising from china, when bill clinton was president or more recently the taking of donations from shady

doing keystone when it was originally proposed but the fact that we did not do keystone, no one talksecame more active in north dakota in producing more oil with we became more self reliant because we did not do keystone. so not doing keystone had a positive impact? >> yes very positive impact to the companies that transport, like all the train -- >> rose: so why billion dollars it? >> well the question i would raise, we have witnessed over the last few years some very horrific accidents with trains transporting oil. now if you want to talk about a risk, these oil tankers going through towns, don'tÑi you think a pipeline is safer and environmentally putting all of this oil in a tanker and going through all of these -- you know, the country side and towns? but i am not going to get into a political debate. i did not understand why we vetoed it originally. to me, it is now more political and do we need it today? no but my big strong view is, north america is the best place to be in the world today and talk about mexico and canada and the united states, the fact that we cannot create a r

it is a pleasure. >> law makers moving closer to a vote on the keystone pipeline. >> where we stand. we'll have doug live with that. >> reporter: the fate of the keystone pipeline rests in the hands of president obama who as you said repeatedly vowed to repeal the bill. the senate for the first time passed the legislation approving the pipeline. nine democrats went along with the republicans to build the pipeline. and getting it to the president's desk before the recess and assume being it passes. they will need more than nine democrats to override the presidential veto and that is a huge hurdle. and republicans said all along that the pipe line is another step to wean the u.s. off mideast oil. fraking has produced oil and gas. and helped to produce prices in the pump. the gop said the poip line would be a huge job's producer. >> getting the economy going and keystone pipeline creating 43 this happened jobs is the kind of thing we ought to do. >> republicans are calling it a job's bill. but the keystone will giveut 35 if a bucket. >> environmental groups that contract to democrat cof

raju is keystone. where are we with that issue? >> guest: it looks like congress is going to send the keystone bill to the president probably this week. this was, of course, something that was passed right at beginning of the new congress. the republicans wanted to show a different direction that they were taking this country and the president and the democrats have resisted going forward with this keystone pipeline project. that bill has cleared, but the house and senate republicans held back on sending it formally to the white house while they were out of town last week on a week-long presidents day recess. when they send it over to the president, he's going to veto it. it's going to be only the third veto of his presidency, then it'll come back to congress for an override. they do not have the votes to override it and sort of the beginning of this confrontational period in the -- >> host: so that's pretty much it on keystone? once that veto happens will they actually try to override? >> i think they'll try to override it; they w

does he think keystone will be a reality? and the state of the world from russia to the middle east, what are his huge insurance holdings doing with terror attacks and cyberhacking policies? >>> and later with coca-cola struggling, i'll ask will he ever sell any of the 400 million shares he owns? you know, skim a little foam off the top? warren's way, 50 years of berkshire coming back in just a moment. don't go away. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. i'i like to think of myself as more of a control... enthusiast. mmm, a perfect 177-degrees. and that's why this road warrior rents from national. i can bypass the counter and go straight to my car. and i don't have to talk to any humans, unless i want to. and i don't.

neil: congressman, do you think the president means it when he includes in that group of ten keystonet or does he couch it to say that might be a useful means to strike a bigger deal on infrastructure. would you as one of the parties from your players be open to that. in other words a deal that could get keystone up and running as part of an omnibus infrastructure measure? >> you know, if it's the right infrastructure measure, well-thought out, still ties user fees to the infrastructure issues i think, yes the president's proposal to just tax us companies abroad create a minimum tax, try to fund some infrastructure that way i think that's exactly the wrong way to do it. but, yeah, if there's a thoughtful, long-term solution on infrastructure, you know that also brings along the keystone pipeline and the jobs with it, we ought to take a serious look at it. neil: all right. deputy, pleasure having you. all right. now, i know how apple plans to pad its profits. apparently with a bigger ipad. neil: all right. in tonight's very fast biz blitz. tablet sales are slowing. apple is not. while

the proposed keystone xl pipeline would run oil from canada to the u.s. gulf coast. patty culhane explains. >> reporter: millions lobbying in a heated debate in congress and a bill for the pipeline has been vetoed. the weight continues. the u.s. president laid out the criteria for approval. >> our national interest will be served. only if the project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. >> the u.s. state department said the canadians sands would be developed, pipelines better than trains move it. now the environmental protection agency weighed in saying maybe not. because of a drop in oil praises it wouldn't be possible. in this letter tar sands create 17% more greenhouse gas than other crude. it would be equivalent to adding 5.7 million cars or 7.8 coal-fired plants. it's not about the environment, but economics says the president. some believe the bottom line is it's more about politics than impact the final decision will have. >> i think it's more symbolic for politics than the economics, and this terms of differences in united states

still to come on the newshour: a presidential veto on the keystone x.l. pipeline; new data on preventing peanut allergies; special courts designed for veterans; how the demographics of the u.s. are dramatically changing; and a look at immigration from the local level. >> ifill: now to the political power struggle over the keystone x.l. pipeline, which landed today on the president's desk and was promptly vetoed. >> ifill: the president chose to carry out the veto in private, out of the glare of cameras, a sharp contrast to house speaker john boehner's decision to stage a very public bill signing at the capitol only 11 days ago. >> senate bill one as amended is passed. >> ifill: the keystone bill was the first order of business after republicans claimed majorities in both houses of congress this year. it's been seven years since the 1,200 mile-long pipeline was first proposed. parts of it are already under construction, with the ultimate goal of carrying canada's tar sands oil to refineries along the gulf coast, a project many lawmakers say would create ne

with the keystone, it's safe.tainly there are leaks every once in a while but don't have explosions like this. i think this changes the keystone pipeline dramatically. even though it was passed by the house and senate without enough votes to pass a presidential veto, i can't imagine the president can go ahead and veto it at this point. this puts keystone pipeline right in play and i think it does damage to any of the oil -- or any of the railroad companies who create or get such a large amounts of their earnings from the transport of oil. >> so walk us through the trade or how we should think about a trade? if keystone gets passed, that means there's more heavy crude that can go down to the refineries in the south more easily and less expensively than byrail, right? $5 for barrel versus $5 to $15 on a train. what does that do for the rebetwer refining trade? >> what it does show is we're going to wind up moving crude oil into storage even more quickly. into and around cushing, oklahoma. it pushes out the carrying
