u.s. and mexico.cks, trains, buses, compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, converting that natural gas into methanol, just like ethanol, mixing it with gasoline and flex fuel engines in our cars. we have the technology on the road today. we have the capacity to produce more natural gas and have been making methanol for more than 100 years. we know how to make methanol. we could put the two together and become independent for transportation in north america. that could happen in the next decade. we would not need iraqi oil or any oil from any part of the world. we would not be at the mercy of authoritarian regimes to set prices to pay for the cost of their government. not for the marketplace demand. create millions of american jobs in the process, billions in tax revenue for the government. this is the are you -- argument of the council, the argument we are making to the american people, it is a common-sense solution and we can achieve that kind of economic growth, revenue, and energy independe

u.s.-mexico's free trade agreement is much better than that of turkey because mexico had been able to negotiate an agreement in the european union, where has turkey has not negotiated an agreement with i united states. mexico also negotiated agreements with nafta and the pacific alliance and now with the ttp they are negotiating a free trade agreement with japan and negotiating a number of other very large trade agreements. one of the effects of this is that mexico can probably be better integrated into the global value chains, these global networks of productions that have arisen both the last several decades. in part because you not only have access to the u.s. market and the canadian market but people see mexico as a base you can operate all over the world and in port easily from all over the world as well. i think mexico has been helped in that way. mexico didn't do as well in growth but it is much better on the economic stability and balance of payments. and ironically since a big objective of the customs union is to create closer links with europe. if you look at the remittances which of

bill is the former governor the new mexico and served as u.s. ambassador.ice to see you, governor. the concerns about syria, it brings the images back. how does this bring back the calculation for this president? >> short range middle east instability. the volatility will increase oil prices with higher prices at the pump. the base is strong. long-range looks good, but short range, this instability is a problem not just for a producer country like us, but consumer. europe and japan. >> the president has made this u.s. energy independence. he made that a key goal. i want to play something he said during the state of the union. >> today, no area holds more promise than investments in american energy. after years of talking about it, we're finally poised to control our own energy future. >> at the same time, he is infuriated republicans by the delay of the keystone pipeline. keystone pipeline, yes. attacking syria, no. obama has it backwards. i ask you, does another potential middle east war make the case for more domestic energy production put pressure on the

of degrees cooler than normal but this pattern is locked in place for the whole western u.s., so arizona, new mexico, nevada, colorado, more thunderstorms for the afternoons for a week. no rain for us aside for coastal morning drizzle. there is the marine layer behind the beautiful san francisco skyline as viewed from our oakland airport cam. south bay san jose all about the sunshine right now currently 74. couple of degrees cooler than normal but i think everybody would make a strong argument that it's pretty comfortable outside. livermore you're at 82. concord 81. santa rosa much warmer and sunnier than yesterday, 79 currently. and 66 in san francisco. where do we start tomorrow? right around 60. concord down to 61. san francisco 59. san rafael 58. losing about 2.5 minutes of daylight a day now and sunrise now pushed back all the way to 6:49. almost 7:00 for that sunrise. so we started off with a tremendous amount of cloud cover but throughout the day, the sun did its thing. and burned off the clouds except right along the marin coastline san mateo coastline and the western half of the city of san

mexico, there are many places worse than juarez. >> what is the role of the drug enforcement administration, the u.s. administration, in mexico?tam now investigating because i really can't believe how they used government of the drug enforcement administration really didn't show what is happening in mexico. in 2011und one document and one quart of chicago that really proves the drug enforcement administration has a connection with the cartels. >> can you tell us who the leader of this cartel is? >> what i found in my investigation is that he was the son of a farmer. he is a leader. he almost can't read and write. he is a vicious man. -- he had to leave school when he was seven years old. in my book, how this man that is almost nobody, now is the most powerful drug lords in the world. that is the answer you can find in my book. >> he remains at large? he remains free from somewhere in mexico still? >> yes. of course he is in mexico. i'm also sure he is everywhere because he has the power to buy the state, the power to break the laws with his money. he was escorted to the prison dress as a government official, company by conspir

mexico was actually zero. that el paso is the safest city, san diego is the second safest, the u.s. side of the u.s.-mexico border compared to the rest of the country is far safer. we do not have a border security problem today. the border has never been more secure or more safe. for all of those reasons, all the moral once, all commonsense ones i just cited, we should do the right thing. that is not enough for some people. so i will conclude by saying this. it is in our moral interests as a country that wants to do the right thing, it makes all the commonsense in the world to do the right thing, but if we look at our economic self-interest, today it's already proven that immigrants, including unauthorized immigrants contribute far more to our economy, they contribute far more to our tax base, they contribute far more to job opportunities and quality of life than they take in benefits. that is i think, been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. what we also know is some form of the current proposal for comprehensive immigration reform pass the c.b.o. has scored it such that within the first 10 years, t

u.s. gulf coast of mexico. the approval process has been as long as, well, the pipeline itself. right now the state department is working on a review that runs more than 2,000 pages. that has generated more than a million public comments. this summer president obama said he would approve it if and only if it doesn't increase greenhouse emissions. >> the net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward. >> reporter: key sense to opponents say it would be an environmental disaster. tar sand is thick sticky stuff like tar that has to be heated up before it will be pumped out. canada is considering building a nuclear reactor just to get the oil out the ground. and that will create more carbon emissions. some say if keystone is approved it is game over when it comes to the climate when it comes to climate change. supporters, and there are democrats and republicans who back it, say keystone is critical for american's energy future, that it would create thousands of jobs and pour billions into t
