as we continue to look at how the standing rock sioux tribe is embracing renewable energy, we turn tot wallace and ellen dorsey of the wallace global fund. the fund recently honored the standing rock sioux tribe with the inaugural henry wallace award and a million-dollar investment in renewable energy projects, solar and wind, led by the tribe. the award is named after scott wallace's grandfather, henry wallace, who served as vice president under franklin delano roosevelt from 1941 to 1945. scott wallace recently wrote an op-ed piece in "the new york times" recalling his grandfather's piece back over 70 years ago. in 1944, henry wallace published an iconic "op-ed" in "the new york times" headlined "the danger of american fascism." henry wallace wrote, quote, "american fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact," unquote. i began by asking scott wallace about his grandfather's comments in 1944. scott wallace: he described a breed of self-interested megalomaniac who -- the notion of corporatism is what he described as a breed of fascism, which i

standing rock. the standing rock sioux tribe is now leading an initiative to build a solar farm in cannon ball, lessan three miles from the dakota access pipeline. among the companies that will be helping build the solar farm is native renewables. this is native renewables co-founder wahleah johns, speaking thursday at the henry wallace award ceremomony in new york city for the standing rock tribe. wahleah johns: the father, the sun, it provides -- it can provide power. it can empower us. and that's been a lot of what we've been talklking about with native renewables, is that empowering our communities to actually learn how it works, how solar works, but also building our capacity to o manage and own projects to generate power. so far, a lot of tribes are being -- like, our land base is being targeted by fossil fuel companies. and how do we shift away from that? and i'm from a big coal-mining community, and i chose this work because i wanted to see something different, and i i wat to protect our wat, , so our future generations have a future that is healthy and clean. amy: chairman dave archambault,

susan was welcomed by the standing rock sioux tribe chairman who has renewed his call to cease pipelineoperation but that's easier said than done while this decision opens up the possibility that the pipeline could be shut down it's not going to happen until a number of hearings take place over the next few months joining me now to talk about this is fair and cousins is executive editor of the trial lawyer magazine in fair and i want to know what led to this federal judge's decision on this this is a big step this is a big move for a federal judge what letting their well basically he understood what everybody else understood and that was the environmental review process by the army corps of engineers was completely inadequate we knew that back in december when obama finally decided to step up and say ok we're not going to go forward with this project and then i believe three or four days into his administration trump comes inside reverses that order and says nope push push through go ahead and build it the review had not even been completed at that point the judge understood this and he

temporarily while we sort that out so it's still it's still in motion but the judge asked both the standing rock sioux tribe and the army corps slash dapple side to send in their arguments for why the pipeline should continue or be shut down that court case is supposed to be heard in september this judge has kept like kind of kicking kicking the can down the road for you know they come to court and then they you know there's another hearing two months from now but supposedly september is supposed to be the final decision like i said i mean i don't want to speculate we don't we know that this is never happened before that they shut a pipeline down but the judge actually saying they broke the law was like the first actual positive and fat fact based decision that has come out so we'll see what happens of september i keep updating the audience well great job great job with you or with your journalism the book is the corporate con job how mainstream media aids the oligarchy thank you so much. thankfully for we go to a quick break but i have a live comedy shows coming up in seattle chicago and washington d

all of the people in standing rock sioux that was the purpose. clarity of standing rock was ae elders saying, this is prayer camp. in other words, it comes from our inner spirit. we have to change this inner spirit. we have to change our relationship both to the planet into the people who live on this planet, including the people opposing us. so i believe in our small way, that is the statement we are making. this is the time to of the game. this is the time to address the disease.se of our amy: i want to ask about your comment about people having trouble naming capitalism as a cancer. it sounds like an edward abbey quote. through your environmentalists and, you're taking on capitalism. not all environmentalists do. can you comment on that? >> i can't speak for all environmentalists. i think all of the things -- we orientedt or rente debt country. the language with which we speak is the language of the market. everything is for sale. everything is commodified. what that does is, and then of course you have to create the greatest amount of profit,

greenlighted by the president trump, despite months of massive nationwide resistance led by the standing rock sioux of north dakota. meanwhile, in california, two protesters were arrested monday as a dozen people blockaded the gates of the kinder morgan oil terminal in richmond monday morning to protest the company's plans to expand the trans mountain tar sands pipeline in canada. activists locked themselves to oil barrels and a 12-foot-long mock oil pipeline that read "no consent. no pipeline." kinder morgan's proposed trans mountain pipeline expansion has also faced widespread resistance from first nations in canada. in san antonio, texas, truck driver james matthew bradley, junior, was charged with transporting undocumented immigrants for the purpose of private financial gain after dozens of undocumented immigrants were discovered packed into the back of a sweltering tractor trailer he had been driving. when the group of migrants were discovered in a walmart parking lot in san antonio, eight men were already dead. two more men died later and 29 remain hospitalized. authorities say they are inves

concern over water quality so it was moved to underneath the single drinking water source for the standing rock sioux. just absolute classic example of environment of racism. it was also very much about climate change and understanding that we cannot keep expanding the fossil fuel and have any hope of protecting a livable planet for our kids. it was also profoundly about stand up to corporate power, stand up to increasingly militarized police because of course the water protection at standing rock were up against police force to look like an army. tanks and all the privatized surveillance equipment and so, and i quote when known in the book about how it was all of it. you can talk about intersectionality which is a wonderful phrase from kimberly crenshaw, african american legal scholar and feminist who has given us this term for so many of us are using. but in standing rock it was just life. and i think it's helpful, sometimes to not talk about something in three but to talk about it as a lived experience and how it is playing out on the land and on peoples bodies. >> guest: what you also bring up in

my husband who is a family physician and practices about 60 miles north of standing rock sioux nation, he can tell you there have been times when people from the reservation have come to the clinic to see him because the clinic in fort yates is shuttered. no money that day. no opportunity for health care. and so people come to get the health care they need, but they have to drive a long way. and it's wrong. and so you see a new doctor that you've never seen before who may not in fact understand your conditions. so the mountain band of chippewa who is represented today has over 33,000 enrolled members of which approximately 14,500 actively receive treatment and benefit for services at the local i.h.s. hospital. thanks to medicaid expansion and increased enrollment efforts by the turtle mountain band of chippewa in my state of north dakota their indian health hospital is able to offer so much more in services to their people and increase their outreach and prevention. in june alone, turtle mountain's i.h.s. clinic served nearly 13,000. think about that. 13,000 clinical patients, and pro
