mccown? >> guest: i think we have to keep in mind the notions of federalism to most inspections, whether truck or pipeline on rail, a lot of these inspections are done at the state and local level by providing ground -- grant monies to this day grant monies to the state equity to get together with the states and have a discussion to see what their concerns are and see how we can better address them. but the federal government uses an audit type mechanism to try to identify integrity threats or threats to safety. you physically can't put 1 million inspectors out there over every square inch of railroad space, but we need to do better job of anticipating failures and finding out the root cause for failures so we can get ahead of the curve. >> host: poll, dayton, ohio, independent line comment yes hi. listen, i have a comment about how we can solve this problem once and for all. the oil industry, a gas and oil industry is obsolete. we don't need gas and oil anymore, okay? gasoline engines have b

p brigham mccown.uest: well, we transport -- there are 42 gallons in a barrel. 11.3 million barrels of oil around the country each year. on average, 32,000 barrels are lost still. you know, by hiking up type line accidents and fear mongering is not going to get places. we spill more gasoline at service stations. we clean up gasoline from highway accident that we spill on a pipeline. you know, the fact is that there is a certain level of risk in everything we do. and when we leave the studio and get in our cars, there is a risk that something may happen to us. and i agree with bob, america did not get to where it is today because we didn't risk it. america got to where we are today because we had the fortitude to be bold to be brave , and not hide in our homes. again, as a regulator, it is so frustrating when i hear people say, well, i don't like real. i don't like pipeline. we have to bring debate -- the debate back to reality. it is to be good stewards to the environment. we need to move these product

mccown, what happened in west virginia last week and how serious was it?uest: well, it was obviously sears. anytime we have a transportation accident, derailment, loss of fossil, it is serious. so we need to take it serious. the u.s. uses almost 19 million barrels of crude oil each and every day in our country, and as a consequence, we have to move it. we have to move it from where it is extracted from the ground to our refineries. because we're finding oil in places where we lack traditional pipeline infrastructure, more and more of this material is finding itself on the railroads. although rail is mainly safe when you have had this type of exponential growth in moving crude oil by mail, you know, accidents can happen. they shouldn't happen. and we need to do a better job of have been doing so far. peter: before we get to bob deans, i want to ask you about this. the editorial this with the "washington post." safety goes off the rails. here is the conclusion. the oil industry, predictably, is pushing for less standards and longer timelines to fix its infra

>> i doubt if mccown or any of those guys said yeah, i'm a scotch drinker, ever going down this road.eheads and be like oh really? you're that old? >> targeted advertising whilst inebriated. i mean, if that's not taking advantage of someone -- i mean look, all marketing takes advantage. >> you can't sit in a bar without seeing advertisements. >> that's what i hear. >> a fascinating innovation that a sticker can tell you about the stuff inside. i'm sure we'll see a lot more about it. and perhaps we'll drink to it as well. thanks for being here. that does it for us on "closing bell." fast money coming up in a few seconds. hi melissa lee. >> everybody's wondering what's going to happen with apple. it was down in today's session. we've got a top analyst who says there are five reasons why apple will continue its run. >> that's in contrast to colin gillis's call. >> exactly.

>> i don't think probably leader mccown, speaker boehner maybe they hoped they could get their members in line, but they haven't been able to do it. tying this whole issue on immigration to the dhs funding is nothing but a partisan political maneuvering. we shouldn't do that. we shouldn't do it with our budget. and we clearly shouldn't do it with the department of homeland security. it is too vital for our nation's security interest. as i say as a governor it will have a tremendous impact on our economy and it will hurt people. they're not going to get paid. let's be very clear. the secretary made it clear to all of us governors. understand next friday every check will stop to your states. >> so two quick questions. you're a better reader of the political politics of this than i am. what's the percentage chance that that really happens next week? >> i asked the secretary that. he asked us all for help. but i read all the papers today. doesn't seem -- they've all gone home. i just find this -- every time she's shutdowns happen, of course, it adversely impacts the republican party. and e
