we became known as oklahoma strong. i have seen the sheer determination of the people of oklahoma. i know they can rise to meet any challenge. we must recommit ourselves and our state to meeting the challenges in front of us, to protecting our freedoms and acting as a successful laboratory for democracy, for innovation, for bold ideas. we worked hard to create a friendly business climate to invest, to build, and to raise a family and to create jobs. we know the best way to lift people out of poverty is a revised win with a good education and a good job. we must continue to pursue our progrowth reforms that jumpstart our economy. we must also continue to reform our outdated inefficient government system to deliver quality service to our customers, the taxpayers. we must continue to improve programs that protect our

the oklahoma city bombing. for the ones if not oj off the front pages if you will if not oj off the front pages if you will. >> use the debug of time researching that but i'm wondering 20 years from now you look back and think that was a watershed moment. >> i think it's still kind of reasoned. [laughter] >> more recently. >> that is a good question. and obviously as john mentioned in the outset it is going to continue to be rendered as a remanded as a watershed year in many ways. but other possible years whether they be? >> 2012, that might be seen as a watt or should moment. it takes a fair amount of critical distance to begin to appraise and analyze and assess the significance of a particular twelve-month period which i grant is somewhat arbitrary to begin with. we need the passage of time for us to really be able to say that was a decisive moment, but there are moments as you mentioned in which we know right away that that is to be memorable and 2008 is probably another. >> leadtime for one last question an

it's now oklahoma. and the state supreme court will soon decide if oil companies are to blame. >> this is a big deal. in fact i'm surprised we haven't gotten here sooner. >> reporter: the case centers on the biggest quake yet in that state. including sandra landras her chimney collapsed on her sending her to the emergency room. she is now suing two oklahoma energy companies forcing the oklahoma supreme court to decide what many have long assumed. that fracking, when drillers pump millions of gallons of waste water underground is triggering earthquakes. some geologists strongly disagree like the energy companies who say they are not responsible for the quakes. one of their lawyers warned a have in october that these wells will become economic and legal liability pariahs if the court sides with the homeowner. >> she says it's because of fracking. it's the closest we've gotten to someone alleging causation due to the activities the of an oil company in any state. oklahoma is the furthest along in this kind

we have been pretty fortunate in oklahoma city.itizens are willing to fund our infrastructure ideas. we are not incurring a lot of debt. a lot of highly educated twentysomethings are gravitating to cities like ours. there are success stories out there. washington could be a partner in the success if they chose to. they are just not choosing to. >> your unemployment rate is below the national average. how have you been able to keep the rates so low? >> we have created a city where people want to live. the key to economic development was not seeing how many incentives you could throw at big businesses. it was trying to create a place where highly educated twentysomethings would choose to live. the kauffman foundation noted we were the most entrepreneurial city and the nation. the human population coming into oklahoma city is allowing entrepreneurs and job creators to be successful and that is driving down the unapplied bit rate. we had the lowest unemployment over the last 30 years. >> it has been nearly 20 years since the oklahoma c

[inaudible conversations] >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the tv studio and another edition of inside immediate y. inside media is our weekly program where we talk with journalists, newsmakers and authors at issues and books. i'm your host, the senior program manager here at the museum. happy new year to everyone. we say adios and perhaps good riddan to a somewhat tumultuous 2014. we welcome 2015 with our resolutions hopefully still intact and hope it will be a prosperous one. today we discuss a new book that takes us back in time 20 years, and reminds us that 1995 was an exceptional year. here to talk about the book is j. joseph campbell, all authorize of "19195 the year the future began." which l

oklahoma city bombing. for once it knocked -- it was the event that knocked o.j.off the front page. >> thank you. >> guest: thank you. >> host: a question. >> thank you. you spent a lot of time researching 1995. i'm wondering, in 20 years from now, what year will we look back recently and think that was a watershed year much like 1995. >> guest: i think 1995 still -- i think we'll have a second edition -- >> more recently. >> guest: really good question. obviously as john mentioned at the outset, 2001 will be remembered and continues to be remembered as a watershed year in many ways. what other possible years would there be? 2012? 2008? was the election of barack obama. that might be seen at a watershed moment. it takes a fair amount of what historians call critical distance to begin to appraise and analyze and assess the significance of a particular 12-month period, which i grant is somewhat arbitrary to begin with. not everything in 1995 is as important, and that year began in 1995. the simpson case is an example of that. we do need some critical distance. we ne

oklahoma is furthest along in this kind of litigation. >> earthquakes were largely unheard of in oklahoma but since 2008 as drilling for shale gas boomed the state has seen a sudden increase nearly 600 quakes last year, more than in the previous 30 years combined. the current lawsuit claims it's more than a coincidence and it could force changes for a booming industry that's deeply changed the american landscape. >> either way no matter what they decide it's a major decision. it will be binding in oklahoma and influential on other states. >> reporter: yeah, big decision. the court's ruling would only affect oklahoma but if it sides with the homeowner it could have a chilling effect on the entire oil industry, and may have an emboldened effect on other states considering the same issue. >> investors snapped up crude today as a hedge against future price changes. but the cost of a barrel is about half what it was last june fueling issues. >> through good times or bad this area is one of the most productive locations here investment in productivity on the rise, deep water projects are long t

oklahoma is increasing the amount. now everybody is going to use this drug, in this amount, this is how we're going to monitor whether there's pain. why isn't there some sort ever national standard for this? -- sort of national standard for this? >> that's why we're asking the united states supreme court to look at this. when the united states supreme court last looked at lethal injection in 2008, all of the states were using the same could be tail, sodium pentothiazol which was known to produce a deep unconsciousness. now states are moving to medazelam. and three executions medazelam does not work and cannot work the same the barbiturate does. >> which means what? >> that means that the prisoner is not going to be in a deep coma like unconsciousness so the prisoner will feel the suffering and the pain from the second and third drugs. but because the second drugs drug is a pair littic, the people will not know that the prises prisoner is suffering. only what happened in mr. locket's execution that the witnesses were ab

oklahoma uses a three drug cocktail. first is to is he see sedate the person the second is to paralyze him. doesn't sufficiently prevent the pertinent from feeling pain and therefore the execution process is cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the constitution. this is a weird way to look at executions. >> isn't there some sort of -- couldn't there be some part of rule cruel and unusual in all forms of execution? >> absolutely. but the way the constitution is written and the way the courts have interpreted it is that as long as states are using a process that doesn't cause pain, to the inmate, then it's not cruel and unusual. that's what's so interesting about this oklahoma case. the corrections department says look, these drugs are fine. there's no pain associated with it. the man who you know claimed that he felt pain, it was because of the way the iv was put in his arm. not because the drugs failed but just a human error on the part of whoever used the iv or put the i vmpt in thev in the person's arrangement.

they've cited oklahoma city as an example.even jones, who represented timothy mcveigh who was convicted, obviously, of the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. he have thinks it's rather ludicrous to compare the community-wide trauma here after the marathon bombings to what happened in oklahoma city. you don't want to actually keep a death count but let's face it three people were killed in boston 17 people lost their legs and more than 200 were injured. in oklahoma city 168 people were killed and 19 of them were children. the extensive damage to buildings, there were more than 300 buildings damaged or totally destroyed in the oklahoma city bombing and it was impossible jones said, to find anybody that wasn't touched by it. i can only tell you my experience here. i have a lot of friends who don't follow this case. they saw what was on tv but i think we in our business and they in their legal business seem to think everybody follows this as closely as we do. i can just tell you by experience that's just not true. and i don't think it's

in duncan, oklahoma, in 1948. did you know that by their own admission, the e.p.a. said there's never been a documented case of ground water contamination in -- since they started using hydraulic fracturing. and when the president made the statement in his state of the union message and he said, our -- we have increased dramatically increased in the last five years our production of oil and gas that's correct but that was in spite of the president. we have enjoyed a 61% increase in production in oil and gas in america in the last five years. 61%. however, that's -- all of that is on either state or private land. on federal land, we've had a reduction of 6%. so, you know, i look at that and i believe when people say that if we have been able to do the same thing on federal land that we've done in the last five years on private land and state land, we could be totally independent, 100% independent from any other country in developing our own resources. so i'm committed to using our -- our committee the public works

we understand that in oklahoma. we have gone through a process and i recall over in the house, secretary foxx knew what the biggest problem was in the highway trust fund? too much surplus. that was the problem we had. we know what happened since that time and we cannot continue to do as we have done in the past. i think i do have an opening statement i will submit as part of the record. i think the significance of this meeting, i say to my friends on the left and right, is that we want to do it right this time. and we have done patchwork and put together things we think are a good idea and i have to see this: we have had successes. i didn't like the way things went back in the 27-month bill we had. i didn't like the idea a lot of republicans, my good friends, were not realizing and thinking they were doing the conservative thing because it is a big bill. but it isn't. the conservative thing is to pass the bill instead of having the extension. and secretary foxx has been out in oklahoma and we have talked about this

in oklahoma, the only visit this president has made to my state of oklahoma was about a year ago -- was it about a year ago? two years ago? that he came in and was -- in the background there that's a picture of him in cushing oklahoma and those are the barrels, those -- this is what's taking place right now in cushing and he was talking about in his quote there is as you can read, mr. president i'm directing my administration to make this project a priority talking about the keystone pipeline, to go ahead and to get it done. well he's making that statement and he came down to hold that meeting in cushing oklahoma, to try to make them believe that he was actually for a pipeline. now, he went on to say that he was going to make sure that he wasn't going to do anything to keep the pipeline from going on further south. let's get the picture here. you've got cushing, oklahoma right in the middle of the united states and the pipeline would continue to go south to the texas coast. well he said he's not going to do anything to stop that and there is a good reason for that p. that is he can't. h
