what will happen is the transcanada will make tremendous profits out of shipping this oil.this is about billions of dollars that transcanada is going to benefit from a basically sticking a pipeline through the heartland of america for export. >> >> explain with this particular tar sands is. >> this is the dirtiest of the oil. it is worse than tar. it is this really abrasive sludge that requires special handling, requires heat and needs to be mixed with other chemicals. in oil that was billed kalamazoo, michigan -- i am from the midwest and the kalamazoo area. this is the oil that spilled in the kalamazoo river that is costing him his $1 billion to clean up because of the carelessness of the pipeline service companies. expandy schild, can you on that, on what tar sands is? >> absolutely. first of all, we had the debate about whether oil sands and tar producingte simply, oil and gas products. there is no tar being produced. that is just terminology depending on what side of the fence you sit on. i think as he mentioned, erich pica said it clearly, they want the oil to sit in

how determined are these landowners not to give in to transcanada? >> oh, we're very determined.ell you, they've got 90% of the line, it's locked up, you know, these people are ready to go. you know you want to look us at us, and people look on that map and they see a line and they say this ain't no big deal. we're people, you know. the landowners, the farmers, the ranchers. people that make their lives off this land. and we're standing united, and we get stronger as this fight continues, you know. and there is more people joining us every day. and there is people that, you know, transcanada, you don't get that earlier number of people that might have signed up because they thought they had to. there was that risk. transcanada threatened me three times with eminent domain after the governor approved that. >> jim tarnick, we'll stay on the story. i appreciate your time tonight. thanks for speaking up. congressman lee terry agreed to join us on the program tonight. but because of votes in congress, he was unable to join us this evening. he will appear on this program next week. tha

transcanada has already decided where that boundary is going to be. of port of morgan. it's a port that's open for commerce back and forth. transcanada could bring that pipeline to that border and run some trucks across the board and pump it back into the pipeline and ship it out. it only cost them $100 million to build this facility on both sides of the border. they don't need washington, d.c. to give them anything. >> this whole situation with tar sands oil could end up in a pipeline without any decision by the president, correct? >> absolutely. in fact, let's talk about this oil. the oil in alberta, the tar sands oil is the same geology and chemistry as the oil we're bringing from inventovenezuela. god, i love the environmental community. i use less. i'm challenging everybody to use less hydrocarbons. we're going to leave it when we have a better, more efficient energy system. let's work on that. >> back to the pipeline for just a moment. i want to be very clear on this. it is getting the oil across the border that is the issue in the way they tran

i will tell you transcanada is not a safe company. they just had a gas pipeline explode.peline keystone one had to be shut down under corrective action order. they didn't put these 57 special conditions in place. f fimsa had to put that on top of transcanada because they were so worried about their construction practices. we should be tauing about canada's safety record. >> it is true, jane, that pipeline is the safest transportation, the most cost efficient, and it is the safest. we have seen the numbers being pushed through when it comes to -- >> you're not being fair about those numbers. >> tell me where i'm not being fair. >> this is where you're not being fair. when a train spills, it spills much less liquid than when a pipeline ruptures. and both are dangerous. i will tell you, when a family experiences an oil spill they don't think to themselves damn that train or pipeline. they think my land was just destroyed, my water polluted. we as a country have to get serious about puing money into upgrading infrastructure, whether that's train or pipeline. if you're concern

listen to what transcanada ceo just said on a conference call. >> we know that our opponents will make all kinds of claims, but no matter how much noise they make him a or how much misinformation they spread, this project will be a benefit, and have little impact on the environment. that is a goal that we all share. >> opponents are going to make noise, and that will not stop anytime soon. the key take away is that this is a key report, but it is not the final report. there is another 90 day comment. comment period, and then it will all end up on president barack obama some point in the future. >> will we get more invest igation? >> rightnow what they're going to look at is a broader national impact. they will look at how this pipeline impacts the relationship between canada and the united states. it's energy security issues. there are a lot of issues they are going to look into, it is not done yet. the state department, and other agencies will continue their review. they said today that john kerry has not read the review yet, or made a determination. everyone expects both environmenta

the company behind the report, worked on the alaska pipeline project, which is owned in part by transcanadaimate news also reported the company's analysis of greenhouse gas emissions is based in part on estimates of the jacobs consultancy, which it describes as "a group that is owned by a big developer and hired by the governor government, which probably favors the project." with intellectual and systematic corruption in the state department of keystone, there's enough public scrutiny the report itself could not be completely bogus and if one reads it, it makes it very clear scenariohey say, in a where the world attempts to constrain carbon, keystone would make a huge difference. the place is that it makes no difference is if we are making offered to do anything about climate change and just flooding the atmosphere with carbon from every direction, and they say this little bit more from the keystone pipeline won't hurt that much. if we are trying to do something about climate change, which theoretically all of our governments are committed to doing, then it makes a very big deal. it is the

this supplemental impact statement or feic is a report, it's not the final decision on whether transcanada will be allowed to build the keystone xl pipeline from the canadian border to the gulf of mexico. after a push in the past year, now it's forwarded to the u.s. government agencies to figure out what other impacts could be created if the pipeline is constructed. then it will be up to the secretary of state john kerry to decide whether the economic benefit ou weighs the diplomatic political and environmental concerns. the report released on friday indicated there would not be many negative impacts in terms of wetland, environmental facilities or the local economy. there's pressure to build the pipeline, and the administration is hearing the pressure from particularly republican members of congress. >> over the next 90 days federal authorities will died if the project is in the nation's best interest, and if it's aligned with the climate strategy. >> it's been three weeks since the toxic chemical spill left thousands high and dry. there's fears that the water is not safe. this is no rece

in the last two weeks, the head of transcanada itself has said, if we can't build this pipeline, then the expansion of the tar sands is called into question. yeah, they'll be able to get some oil out of there, but they've only gotten 3% out so far. this is one of these places where we can put the brakes on if we act now. if we did that, then there's a chance that these international negotiations that ran aground at copenhagen in 2009 might be able to be resuscitated, that we might be able to get back on some kind of track. but somebody's got to take the first step. barack obama ran for president in 2008 saying, in my administration, the rise of the oceans will begin to slow. he said it's time to end the tyranny of the oil industry. a lot of people believed him when he said those things. and now they're going to find out whether or not they were right to believe or not. >> you've said on other occasions that one of your objectives was to try to help the president do the right thing. and that's why you were arrested and others were arrested. do you have any indication from sources in th

state department officials are keen to suggest that the seis is not the final decision whether transcanada will be allowed to build the keystone pipeline on u.s. border from the canadian border to the gulf of mexico. officials also say that after ample input over the past year it is now to the u.s. governmental agencies to figure out exactly what other impacts could be created if this pipeline indeed is constructed. then it will be up to the secretary of state john kerry to decide whether the economic benefits outweigh the diplomatic and political concerns. the technical report introduced on friday indicates there would not be many negative impacts in terms of wetlands, climate changes, environmental facilities or the local economies. however, there's considerable political pressure to build this pipeline and the administration is already hearing the pressure from particularly republican members of congress. >> rosalyn jordan reporting. now water problems in west virginia. it's been three weeks since toxic chemicals spilled and left hundreds of thousands of west virginia residents without

it is quite clear that canada is desperate and transcanada is desperate to get access to an internationalhipping port so they can send this dirty oil through the middle of our country and send it overseas to other countries like china. they've made clear what they want, but we appreciate president obama and secretary kerry have made clear there is a process in place. they'll get back to canada when the process is complete. >> how does the president get around this? he has his secretary of state being adamant in a speech. he's going to make some more public speeches about it. he has an inconclusive state department report where it's credibility is being questioned and now he has a legal ruling in nebraska. where does this put the president? >> the president is going to be looking at all of the information that's going to be collected. the state department report did acknowledge there could be significant climate impacts from the pipeline, but this ruling will be very significant because nebraska doesn't have a route anymore. until we know what the new route is and the impacts it would have

we have seen transcanada acknowledge this is an export pipeline.esperate to ship this oil overseas. this is a pipeline that would go through the united states. there is no benefit for our country but we're being asked to shoulder all the risk. >> what about the balkan shale oil and the safety as well? we're pushing more oil on rail, which is dangerous. >> actually on that rail issue, what we've learned is the balkan shale is going for rail. the issue around rail explosions and accidents is a real important issue. it has to be addressed, but it's going to be addressed by stronger regulations. improving keystone xl won't address our problem with rail. what we have to be looking at is the bigger picture. if the oil wants to move by pipelines and train, what is best for the united states? this pipeline is a single decision before president obama. he has an opportunity to reject a pipeline that will basically build a 50-year pipeline that will bring a million barrels a day of oil and make the u.s. more dependent on oil. it's a decision that's clearly in

violate conflict of interest rules, even though it previously performed work for the pipeline company transcanada. environmentalists said the contractor failed to properly disclose industry ties before issuing a report but downplayed the pipelines harms. president obama is expected to issue a decision in the next few months on the pipeline, which would carry tar sands oil from canada to the u.s. gulf coast. hundreds of protesters plan to lock themselves to the white house gates on sunday to urge obama to reject the pipeline, which they say would be a disaster for the climate. in related news, federal regulators say railcars being used to transport oil from north dakota's mocon shale pose an unacceptable safety risk. the cars were involved in recent explosions, including one in quÉbec a killed 47 people in july. remarks came a day after regulators issued an emergency order restrictors ash stricter testing to measure how explosive oil is before it is transferred. recent tests found more than half of the oil samples bound for transfer by train from the bakken region were misclassified. the region is

department officials are keen to say that if seis is just a report, not a decision whether the transcanada would be allowed to build the pipeline on the country from the canadian border to the gulf of mexico. it's for government agencies to figure out exactly what other issues will be created if this pipeline is created. it would be up to the secretary of state john kerry to decide whether the economic benefits outweigh the diplomatic political and environmental concerns. there would not be many negative impacts from the report, in terms of wetlands climate change, environmental facilities or the local economies. however, there is considerable political pressure to build this pipeline and the administration is already hearing the pressure from particularly republican members of congress. >> rosalyn johnson. >>> one small step and one unbelievable leap, a new look at the spectacular space jump. >> every sunday night al jazeera america brings you controversial... >> both parties are owned by the corporations. >> ..entertaining >> it's fun to play with ideas. >> ...thought provoking >> get yo

transcanada has said we will ship it to china. we will ship it to other places. lot of the unions want this. we have this legal also call that will delay us even further. i know the judge is holding it up now. at some point you still get the feeling that it does get done. look, obama's own state department issued a statement two weeks ago saying there is not really a significant degree. it has been under review for five years. every kind of examination on the keystone pipeline. it is all found to be perfectly okay. >> in every way, this is such a no-brainer. just one obstacle after another. connell: it is always great to see you, monica. twice in one day. >> .it off to a start. the big story overseas continues to be what happened yesterday. we will have details what we come back. dagen: president obama facing resistance from his own party. we talked exclusively about that. connell: from the world of retail. gasoline. a band-aid from the government to do that. we will tell you how much coming up on markets now. ♪ connell: we are back here at a quarter after the ho

. >> while i was governor, i neglected with transcanada to build a $116 million on-ramp so that thattana and north dakota, which has been doubling production every year and will double again by next year will stop being shipped on rail. it's not safe to send this crude oil all over america right to our biggest cities on rail. and yet we haven't had the pipeline to catch up. >> for more than two years, environmentalists have protested the project. many republicans and some democrats, along with the oil industry executives support the pipeline because they say it creates jobs and increases supplies from a friendly source of oil which is canada. what both groups i think need to realize is that the alternative of shipping oil on railways or in trucks is extremely unsafe. on december 30th, there was a very large train derailment about 20 miles outside of fargo. emergency and firefighting crews are responding to a train derailment involving a cargo train carrying crude oil. of course, in this part of the country, the pipeline, the xl pipeline is a big conversation. people who are against t

but it turns out that the group who did the study has conflicts of interest with transcanada.has come to a completely different conclusion, saying it is much more, that the oil from it, is 17 times more greenhouse gas intensive than regular oil. so i think there are real criticisms of it. and i think the president is taking those criticisms seriously. >> former secretary of interior, we've had other top obama administration official suggest it would not do damage to the environment. this is a political battle. it's always been a political battle. the president is being disingenerous when it is suggested he is an innocent bystander to this bureaucratic process. he is the executive order gives him the authority to make the decision. is it in our national interest or isn't it? make the decision, mr. president. >> wisconsin governor, scott walker, a possible 2016 contender, e-mails released from wisconsin court indicating that walker, when he was milwaukee county executive running for governor, he was copied on some e-mails from county staffers who were apparently working on the g

there had been questions about the contractor, because it had done work for transcanada.ut because everything was closed beforehand, the ig report finds there was no conflict. president obama in the meantime visited the union depot train station in minnesota to announce a new inextra structure spending plan, $302 billion over four years to mix and maintain roads and train lines. it says the spending will stimulate the economy and create jobs, but he knows it has little chance of happening this year with republicans in control of the house. >> infrastructure didn't used to be a partisan issue. everybody uses roads, ports, airports. unfortunately time and again over the past few years there's been some in congress who have refused to act on common-sense proposals to create jobs and grow our economy. partly it's not that they don't like roads. they just don't want to pay for them. >> the president proposes paying for this spending with what we calls pro-growth business tax reform. in other words, larry, closing tax loopholes. >> right. closing tax loopholes. oh. >> one perso

conservatives, for example, on capitol hill welcomed it asical as-- well as the condition dan government an transcanada, the company that has been pursuing this project for years. environmentalists without exception criticized this, although again they emphasized that they did not think this was over. one interesting thing is we have just had a rail spill of oil in mississippi. and so people are seizing on that saying this is yet another example of what are the problems with the transportation of oil into the united states. >> the ultimate decision, of course, will be by the president. an there's been as you said so much pressure for several years on this now. do you expect that to not only continue but ramp up now that we're into what looks like maybe a final stage here? >> absolutely. i think you will see an intensification of the pressure, particularly on the secretary of state john kerry. since this is the moment that he gets involved in the process he has absolutely stayed out of it to this point as has the white house. and this is the first moment that, for example, both environmentalists as well

what is going on with this pipeline in canada and transcanada has made it clear, they do not want the to be used here. they want to use our country as a nice place to run this dangerous pipeline through, to go to texas and be refined. we are not going to benefit from that oil. we should not take the oil out of the ground, fundamentally, to be clear, but people who care about the price of oil and domestic investment, this oil will not be used in this country, it will be shipped off to china. it makes no sense for all sorts of reasons. appreciate the question. host: george monroe says this -- host: james, walker, louisiana, good morning. caller: good morning. the glut -- the great global warming hoax ended when that ship of fools was trapped in the ice in the antarctic. i am not sure what they're thinking. is reason your cause is lost because we are tactics. you already brought up the tobacco companies. that is just silly. websites call us climate change deniers. none of us deny climate change, you are trying to paint us as holocaust deniers. michael mann called them anti- science? that

eminent domain, that transcanada doesn't have the right according to this judge to decide that in thisntry. nebraska says they're appealing it. does that mean if they go through the proper channels they could get the green light? >> yeah, i think so. they have to, they could either do a couple of things. make an appeal and win on appeal or change the way the approval process works and route it through the nebraska public service commission as she suggestions would be a way to constitutionally handle it. this is something that could potentially delay the project but it seems unlikely this will be the thing that derails keystone. eric: it has been years and years they have been studying. environmentalists say it is dangerous and lead to leaks and the like. others say, they don't build it, that oil is going over to china and we can't use it. here is the president in mexico, defending the process. >> there is a process that has been gone through and i know it has been extensive but at times i'm sure steven feels a little too laborious but these are how we make these decisions about somethi

our property as american citizens and the lb-1161 actually gave the power of eminent domain to transcanadaefore they even had a permit to build the project in the united states. and we think that is a ridiculous idea. it's outrageous. >> well, i'm sure there will be an appeal to this ruling so your fight will go on, right? >> oh, no doubt. yes, it will. but i do believe -- yes? >> go ahead. finish your thought. >> i was going to say, no doubt it will. i'm quite confident when the final bell rings, the citizens of nebraska will be the ones left standing. >> randi thompson, thanks so much for taking the time. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> still to come -- ted cruz faces the heat after filibusters put him in the spotlight and his party in the hot seat with voters. now he talks exclusively to cnn about the fallout. our chief congressional correspondent dana bash has that story. hi, dana. >> hi, carol. usually when you hear a politician accuse somebody else of trickery, of showboats, it's another party. but not with ted cruz. it's a lot of friendly fire. and he's not stopping. i'll have mor

this is the second keystone pipeline that the transcanada corporation would like to build. its final leg from cushing, oklahoma, to port arthur, texas. the obama administration approved and oil is transported on it. but the 1200-mile northern leg remains mired in bureaucratic limbo. a pop aid to president obama that they are waiting input from eight federal agencies that will have a chance to assess the state department's findings. >> one department with a study. now expert agencies, epa, others, energy department have opportunity to look at this to make their determinations. the president wants to protect their ability to do that, make the decision on best analysis and most sound science. >> this is no-brainer, should have been made. this decision should have been made a long time ago. the canadians will get the oil. whether they will sell it to us or the chinese. >> right. >> i rather it come here to america. >> reporter: environmentalists claim the extraction process in canada and risk of pipeline rupture along the way make keystone xr catastrophe -- catastrophe waiting

transcanada applied to build this pipeline more than five years ago. the obama administration has set deadlines and said that it would make a decision. first it was the end of 2011. then it was after the election in 2012. then it was at the end of 2013. so president obama promised republican senators when he met with us last march. the administration has missed every deadline, broken every promise, and it's interesting because the last time the senate voted on the subject, 17 democrats joined every republican to support the pipeline. the obama administration is still trying to find a way to evade and to avoid having to make a decision. you know, this really ought to be embarrassing to an administration. president obama was elected to make decisions. the science is settled. the president should be embarrassed when his former secretary of energy says the decision on whether the construction should happen was a political one and not a scientific one. any objections have been heard, they have been answered. there are no more excuses. it's time for the pres

the supplemental environment statement is just a report, it is not the final decision on whether transcanada will be allowed to build the pipeline on u.s. territory from the canadian border to the gulf of mexico. after ample input in the past year, now it's to the u.s. government agencies to figure out what other impacts could be created if the ip line, indeed, is constructed. >> then it will up to the secretary of state john kerry to decide whether the economic benefit outweighs diplomatic, political and environment concerns. the technical report released friday indicates that there would not be many negative impacts in terms of wetlands, climate change, environmental facilities or the local economies. however, there's considerable political pressure to build the pipeline, and the administration is already hearing the pressure from particularly republican members of congress. >> over the next 90 days federal authority wris will decide if the -- authorities will despite if it's in the nation's best interest and in line if the president's climate strategy. >> kids had lunches taken and thrown

brought up to the obama administration is, canada has been waiting five ands, over five years, transcanadae canadian company that wants to build the keystone xl pipeline, has been waiting more than five years. it is vitally important to canada because it is a big part of their economy up there for energy production. they want to work with the united states, but if they cannot, if they cannot get a permit, to bring the oil to the united states to be refined and used, they will have to look for other markets. clearly, the chinese have artie indicated a strong interest in getting that oil. that is why it is so important that we move on this and continue to work with canada to create that energy -- energy independence, the energy security we want and need. on our line for democrats, ohio. good morning. you are on. caller: good morning. i have a couple questions to ask you about the keystone pipeline. safe is that? is that going to be going through a lot of people's property and going to different neighborhoods? is that going to be doing that? because i hear the republican party said the majori
