because of alberta darling's power in the state, because of alberta darling's central role and the things that most aggravated recall supporters in wisconsin, defeating alberta darling has been seen as frankly a difficult prospect by democrats in these recalls but the one that they say would taste the sweetest to them if they could manage it. again, the recall election for incumbent republican state senator alberta darling too close to call at this hour. and with that race may tip the balance of the state senate in wisconsin. just moments ago i can tell you that in district 18 in wisconsin a democrat has been declared the winner there. the associated press calling the race for democratic challenger jessica king. that means state senator randy hopper has tonight been recalled from office. this is actually a rematch of the 2008 senate race in this district. back in 2008 jessica king lost to randy hopper by less than 200 votes. this was the district that democrats really thought they had a chance of winning tonight. this race was marked by allegations early on from randy hopper's wife about

they know alberta darling.en the race that she's in tonight, they're not real thrilled to death with her metamorphosis over time moving to the far, far right. but in the end, ed, if you do take these issues statewide, and we're playing in the back yard of the republicans right now and we're doing as well as we're doing, it says a lot about what people in wisconsin as a whole feel. >> so how big would it be if you did get three seats tonight? in f. if jessica king wins, if sandy pasch comes through, how big is that going to be to get these three seats? >> it would be huge, not only here in the state of wisconsin, but it would send a message to all the republican governors all throughout the country and the republican houses throughout the country that you'd better not mess with the middle class anymore because they will stand up and fight. >> do you agree with that, that this would be absolutely -- if you won three that would be a political earthquake in wisconsin? >> even winning two would be absolutely enormou

they know alberta darling. and given the race that she's in tonight, they're not real thrilled to death with her metamorphosis over time moving to the far, far right. but in the end, ed, if you do take these issues statewide, and we're playing in the back yard of the republicans right now and we're doing as well as we're doing, it says a lot about what people in wisconsin as a whole feel. >> so how big would it be if you did get three seats tonight? if jessica king wins, if sandy pasch comes through, how big is that going to be to get these three seats? >> it would be huge, not only here in the state of wisconsin, but it would send a message to all the republican governors all throughout the country and the republican houses throughout the country that you'd better not mess with the middle class anymore because they will stand up and fight. >> do you agree with that, that this would be absolutely -- if you won three that would be a political earthquake in wisconsin? >> even winning two would be absolutely enorm

it's alberta walkers darling. >> that close, huh? >> pretty close.ty much everything that he's done without closely examining it. as the co-chair of finance she's rubber-stamped his budget. this is really also i would say the people speaking out about walker's agenda through this race. >> well, she also -- she also had $8 million, correct? >> she did. she also -- >> back in that election. >> she also raised almost 1.5 million herself. so this has truly been the race that the republicans don't want to lose. >> mr. barker, peter barker, the state representative, great to have you with us tonight. you have been the fire and brimstone representative. your thoughts at this hour. >> well, i'm so thrilled at the numbers of people that have come out and the passion and the enthusiasm. you know, what's -- what's at stake is wisconsin values. you know, ed, collective bargaining began here in wisconsin. education has always been a top priority in wisconsin. health care for women, for seniors and children is vital in this state. and all of them have taken a huge

alberta darling says anything. says, hey, we're not making cuts in education. what? you cut almost $1 billion in education. you know, chris, wisconsin's got everything. they cut corporate taxes. unemployment. in fact, has gone up a little bit under scott walker. cut the personal income taxes at the top levels that governor doyle used to have, brought that back. it hasn't done anything. they've cut the investment and it's hurt a lot of people, and people are riled up here, and i think it's going to be a big night for the democrats. i think they're going to get those three seats, possibly four. >> okay. that's what it's about. you have to win three out of six, they win control of the state senate, make this case. ed schultz, you're a big part of that fight. good luck pep "the ed show" is on tonight. we'll learn a lot more, results in perhaps by then.

he's just wrong. [ applause ] >> sandy, alberta darling, your opponent tomorrow, alberta darling is as close to scott walker's ideas than anybody. has this helped your campaign? how are you going to beat alberta darling? >> well, i'm going to beat her because people really expected her to step up to use her 20 years of experience, her roll on joint finance to fight for the people in the state of wisconsin. she didn't. she let them down. she didn't listen. she was more in step with scott walker instead of the people with the district. special interest money has been pouring in. they see senator darling as someone who did bidding and they are going to be losing. >> john nichols, final question. the money that has come from out of state, how wisconsin has responded to this. this is citizens united on steroids. >> this is the first citizens united that this country has seen. they have blown out the limits. most wisconsin ites have turned it off. some are knocking on doors. >> thank you for your time tonight. remember to answer tonight's question at the bottom of the screen. what do you thi

a third seat they might be able to flip is the one currently held by alberta darling.an into trouble this week when she was asked to name a company in her district that created jobs this year. >> i have several manufacturing companies in my -- there's a chemical company. i'm just -- they're in germantown. there was just an article about a company in menomonee falls. there are several manufacturers, i'm in my moment, i'm forgetting the names but yes, there are several manufacturers who have grown jobs. >> what had happened was even after palinesque responses like that one darling is still stunned she's being recalled. >> you just have to say to yourself, why are we being recalled? when so much is going right. >> she answered her own question less than 30 seconds later. >> i just went to a woman today and she said, you know, do you believe, you know, why are you giving tax breaks to the wealthy? i said, what do you consider wealthy? she said $250,000 and above. and i said that is small business. those are small business people. those aren't wealthy people. a lot of peopl

the reason is that these tar sands in alberta is a big deal.s the second largest pool of carbon on earth after the oil fields of saudi arabia. jim hanssen of nasa who was arrested today, really the world's foremost climate scientist, said as he was speaking this morning, if we go ahead and begin tapping these unconventional energy sources of which the tar sands are the biggest example, it is-- and i quote-- essentially game over for the climate. since for once obama can stop a project without having congress in the way, this has become the focal point. these arrests have actually now over 500 people, the numbers are just growing and growing day after day. >> brown: we're go into some of the details. as a general proposition you support this. why do you think it should go through? >> i do. jeff, i appreciate bill mckibben's passion on the issue. i understand his position. but my position is very simple. i'm for cheap, abundant reliable energy particularly now in the u.s. when we have over 45 million americans on food stamp more than 9 million un

really seeing an incredible outpouring of people saying no to this saying no to the tar sands up in alberta and really trying to get this president to stand up to big oil and send a jolt of electricity through the progressive base to show them that the clean energy economy which at this point has been mostly rhetoric could actually start to be a reality and hopefully it will be sure you're the wife of an oil worker in louisiana i am and you came up to tell people the consequences of. of working with oil like this yeah i came to testify actually. down in the gulf we had with the oil spill last year and we're still dealing with the oil spill and it was a major multi-million dollar campaign to tell the rest of the world that the oil was gone and everything's fine but i'm here to tell it's not fine we still have oil in our marshes over our beaches we have dead wildlife come in every single day we have people that are you. right now we have people that are ill because the dispersants everything from neurological disorders skin problems and we're talking about from small children with people benz

pipeline is proposed to run from the tar sands of alberta canada all the way down through america's heartland over one of our largest sources of fresh drinking water to refineries on the gulf of mexico. you know that this pipeline could cause a b.p. style oil spill which people have experienced in the gulf right over that sort of fresh drinking water but even if that oil makes it to refineries and gets dumped into the atmosphere in the words of our top climate scientist dr james hansen at nasa that it could be game over for the climate so we're really seeing an incredible outpouring of people saying no to this pipeline saying no to the tar sands up in alberta and really trying to get this president to stand up to big oil and send a jolt of electricity through the progressive base to show them that the clean energy economy which at this point has been mostly rhetoric could actually start to be a reality and hopefully it will be sure a year the wife of an oil worker in louisiana i am and you came up to tell people the consequences of. so of working with oil like this yeah i came to testify actu

could whitefish bay democrat sandy pasch defeat alberta darling?c ground zero fight for the future of our children's children's children, the difference between tyranny and salvation would come down to whether the nice lady who looks like katie couric could beat the nice lady who look like bonnie hunt. [laughter] you know what's interesting... [applause] people from the midwest, no matter their political stripe, never look like [bleeped]. they just look like nice people. i know there must be [bleeped] out there. they just never look like them. that's the problem here with us in new york. we're very nice, but we just all look like [bleeped]. [cheering and applause] anyway, back to the fate of free peoples everywhere. >> and the republican candidate, alberta darling, has been declared the winner by the associated press with six contests at stake, the democrats needed to take at least three of those races to take control of the wisconsin state senate, which they have now failed to do. >> jon: well, there you have it. at i don't have a watch eastern ti

spoke with our we're going to speak about a keystone pipeline and if approved it's going to run from alberta canada to the gulf environmental activists say that it would be game over for the planet if obama allows this bill to go through but even if he says no china already has. their eyes on the tar sands so what do you think should the u.s. agree to let the keystone pipeline be built and respond with on facebook twitter and you tube and who knows your response just might make no money. i'll talk about the protect ip act and the bill that we've warned you about several times in the past legislation introduced by senator patrick leahy that would allow the government to crack down on websites that have ties and i mean any ties to work sites that share or link to or associate themselves with a pirate site also gives the government the right to sue any website shares pirated information and it even gives the copyright holder the right to file a lawsuit against that site so the government already made it clear that they are out to destroy any infringing websites and as we've noted before they've

darling she's one of our property down we're fighting against alberta darling excuse me it's been a long campaign. campaign for a city crashes one of our great recall senators and it's unbelievable the top there are very marked for ships we've had record numbers of contacts ships people to find out the door doing doors being in literature drop of literature being in or not being in or doors going to win this thing it sounds like you've got a lot of basically kind of people power energy going there graham. i'm thirty million dollars is being i mean this isn't even like helicoptering money and it's like flying c. run thirty's over and dropping off alex and yeah you know in iraq you're actually right with all the shady money that's come in here on behalf of walker look they're protecting their investment they've bought and paid for this legislature it bought and paid for skywalker they're protecting their investment but the problem is is that the people of wisconsin woke up and saw i would exterior overreach it was not just in collective bargaining for workers but to do a massive assau

to be built it's called the keystone pipeline and would extend about seventeen hundred miles from alberta canada to the gulf coast in texas and would transport oil sands it's a seven billion dollars billion dollar project going to parent lee double oil imports from canada now critics call this the dirtiest project on earth some saying it's yet another example of big oil just getting what they want hundreds including well known actors and scientists have been getting arrested while protesting proponents including the white house say that this project would have minimal impact on the environment but if we don't build it someone else namely china will that's why she was a fellow at the institute for policy studies and has some major problems with his proposal and joins me now to talk about it let's talk first just in very simple terms some of the biggest issues you have with this tar sands project well as you mentioned it's highly polluting it's it would be like burning coal in your car the carbon intensity of tar sands it's not just that you're extracting this incredibly polluting tar from

ok now enter the vast reserves of oil in oil sands in alberta the u.s. views this as the pillar of its future energy needs building a pipeline to deliver it but here's the problem it's been stopped by environmental concerns and regulations also this oil from the oil sands is known as dirty oil and environmentalists are not fans meanwhile as the u.s. flags in just what it wants to do someone is very willing and eager to step in its china and they're willing to spend big money for a big piece of these oil reserves and check out how the leaders in canada have changed their tune in general towards china now that it's looking to the asian country as a customer for its exports to pick up slack from the economically challenge us for example back in two thousand and six prime minister stephen harper said i don't think canadians want us to sell out important canadian values our belief in democracy freedom human rights they don't want to sell that out to the almighty dollar back then harper was very critical of the chinese china's human rights record and the forei

now enter the bass reserves of oil in oil sands in alberta the u.s. views this as the pillar of its future energy needs however it's running into some problems it's building a pipeline to deliver it which has been stopped by environmental concerns and by regulations because this is also known as dirty oil and environmentalist are fans that's just one of the concerns meanwhile as the u.s. stalls china is eager to step in they are ready to spend big money for a big piece of these oil reserves and check out of the leaders in canada have changed their tune just in general towards china now that it's looking to the asian country as a customer for its exports to pick up slack from the economically challenge us for example back in two thousand and six prime minister stephen harper said that i don't think canadians want us to sell out important canadian values our belief in democracy freedom human rights they don't want us to sell that out to the almighty dollar back then he was harping about china's human rights records and also around the time his foreign m

this is how alberta darling won last night.basically spent $8 million to get 5,000 votes to put her over the top. you take that money out or a fraction of it out, i think you have possibly a different outcome, but a lot of the door-to-door work that was done by progressives in the state, they kept hearing back i'm not going to get too involved in this one, but when you want to recall governor walker, that's when i'll get involved. >> we have to go, but the implications for next year, the lessons learned. >> that's coming up real soon in my opinion. president obama and the white house did not engage in the collective bargaining fight in wisconsin, does that mean they are not getting involved in ohio? i think they'd be making a real mistake. this might be wisconsin, but it's a universal issue and i think the white house needs to step up and get the president involved. he's the biggest player in the democratic party and middle class families, this is what they need, a fighter in the ring right now. >> more from ed schultz tonight,

in wisconsin senate district 8 the incumbent republican senator is alberta darling.h 7% of the vote in she leads her democratic challenger sandy pasch 71% to 29%. again, just 7% in. in district 10 the republican incumbent is state senator sheila harsdorf. democratic challenger shelly moore. with 54% of precincts reporting the republican harsdorf leads her democratic challenger 58% to 42%. in district 14, a republican incumbent is state senator luther olsen. his democratic challenger is fred clark. right now with 51% of precincts -- sorry, excuse me, with 30% of precincts reporting the republican incumbent leads his democratic challenger 51% to 49%.

>> because this tarsands of alberta is the second biggest pool of carbon on our planet.anson at nasa said a few weeks ago, if we begin to tap it in a big way, it's essentially game over for the climate. that's why this is the largest environmental civil disobedience protest in a generation. people from all 50 states flooding in to washington to tell president obama not to grant the permit. and the other reason that everybody is there is because for once, the president can do the right thing all by himself. he doesn't have to enact with congress in any way. he gets to approve or deny this thing. so it's the purest test of whether or not he meant it in 2008 when on the night he was nominated you'll recall that great speech, where he said with my presidency, the rise of the oceans will begin to slow and the planet begin to heal. here is his chance to make good on that, and we sure hope he does. >> explain why it is the case that essentially the white house has the rare opportunity to unilaterally essentially block it without congress. what is the process for that? >> it cro

researchers at the university of british columbia, the university of alberta, and arizona state universityay absolutely. in a joint study, they found shoppers who don't feel good about their bodies were less likely to buy something they try on if they see someone else, in their minds, more attractive trying on the same thing. >> just by self-esteem. >> reporter: crystal -- >> this matches, i think. why does it look better on her? like on her legs? why does it look better like this? why can't i wear it like that? i don't think i want it anymore. >> reporter: but not everyone buys that idea. a manager at my fashion club says models, mannequins, and miss bombshell next door can actually help sell an item. >> when you do see customers trying on clothes in the fitting room, they want to try on the same outfit. >> reporter: she says it's not always easy, but when she outfits herself with more self-confidence, all that browsing is more likely to pay off. try emotionally detaching yourself from the clothing by saying, this looks horrible. not, i look horrible. also, push away the pressure. window

pipeline should be built pipeline with stretch seven hundred miles from alberta canada to texas it would deliver seven hundred thousand barrels of tar sands oil a day and just one of many reasons so many environmentalists are so worked up over it is because extracting oil from tar sands is a very expensive it's very difficult process and it releases it more greenhouse gases and other methods out there you see another really big blow to our already injured environment but it looks like the state department has found good in the keystone proposal because they released a statement that was favorable to the seven billion dollars project just today in the statement that said that trans canada had reduced the risk of an accident to an acceptable level and the benefits outweigh the potential costs there's also commentary from canadian ambassador to the u.s. gary doer saying if you ask americans would you choose canada over the middle east they'd say yes well you know perhaps the pro canada approach also overshadows the potential threats of this line and state department also estimated that ther

game over for the planet now if you remember the seven billion dollars pipeline would extend from alberta canada to texas and it creates more greenhouse gases because of the extraction method of getting oil from the tar sands meanwhile the state department gave us a blessing for the deal and proponents argue that keystone it would bring more jobs to america but this is also the latest topic of our latest show intel segment. all right so you know the activists are against the keystone x.l. pipeline in the state department has released a statement supporting it but we want to know what our viewers about the project is going to parties are. in a frenzy to find out what you have to say. the u.s. is the biggest oil addict in the world so what happens when you tell an addict they're right next door is the biggest score on the whole continent was it today the u.s. is looking to tap into canada with a one thousand seven hundred mile pipeline straight to texas environmentalist's are screaming don't do it and china while they're waiting in the wings to step in if we has a case so we wanted to know

house trying to persuade the president walk this pipeline running from the tar sands of northern alberta if we open those up for exploitation or at least according to jim hansen the nasa climate scientist it's essentially game over for the climate that's how he put it right and hence people have come from all fifty states and are conducting this very civil disobedience very polite but very firm in front of the white house in an effort to persuade the president to do the right thing and showing the role of the sort of behind us or you can see the demonstrations and and on your wrist here it is this these that's the first group of us that went to protest last saturday the police decided they wanted to make an example of us and the way they did it was to take us to. for three days and two nights imports called central so walk here and it's district of columbia this is the basic motors rapists and thieves going to play it's exactly as much fun as you might expect. no. no bad sort of metal slabs to lie on without sheet or mattress or pillow we're going to get to bologna sandwiches a day twelv
