[laughter] in the Midterm Election but one democratic senator still has a chance. Senator landrieu is facing against republican challenger bill cast de. Proponents poll show him up by 16 points and another show him up by about 20. Jon so, up by 20 points. Senator an landrieu races cassidy like a skier might face a run off election with an avalanche. Theres still time for one last hail Mary Landrieu. The pipeline has been six years in the making but the timing of the house and senate votes were politics pure and simple. The house will bass introduced by Louisiana Republican bill cassidy. The senate bill by louisiana democrat Mary Landrieu. Jon oh my god, its so embarrassing. They both wore the same transparent ploy to congress. Thats just a shame. You know the Keystone Pipeline long been an environmental bugaboo. You can never pass the democratically held senate, unless they were willing to sell out a core constituency and vote for this Keystone Pipeline bill just to save one senate seat that doesnt even change the balance of power. To boost landrieus chances at the polls some of her fellow democrats dropped their opposition to the bill. [laughter] jon i just said that would be stupid to do. [laughter] so the party that lost the Midterm Election because it didnt stand for anything, has decided oh ive got an idea. What if we stood for that. [laughter] or maybe the right to drop their objections. What exactly is the keystone xp pipeline. The pipeline sends Tar Sands Oil from alberta, canada to nebraska where it would hook up with existing pipeline to go to refineries on the gulf coast. It would carry more than 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day. Jon because apparently the old mother of simply overnighting oil wasnt working out very well. [laughter] any project this large and controversial is bound to be complicated. So i think before we all make up our minds, i think we should hear the president s comments. How many jobs would this project create. We can bill the Keystone Pipeline creating thousands of temporary and millions of permanent jobs, the ceo who runs the pipeline says there will be 35 permanent jobs. Jon okay. [laughter] somewhere ten. [laughter]. Millions of jobs and 35. [laughter] lets just say the Keystone Pipeline will create some jobs with a margin of error of. [laughter]. Almost all numbers. [laughter] although just because something could create jobs doesnt mean its a good idea. Im sure you could hire a hundred people to chiseldisks on Mount Rushmore. That doesnt mean you should do it, of course. [applause] its a big tour i was no disrespect to those people in those conditions. Accomplished this feat of engineering. May history never forget those that it knows only as the chisel dicks. A fascinating story in my new book the story of john dicks on Mount Rushmore soon to be a documentary film by keith burns. No relationship. Tell me more. Keystone pipelines will be harmful to our familys health. It will hurt the environment. President s own state department has found the pipeline poses no meaningful risk to the environment. This gives us a chance to be more secure as a nation and more independent from more than oil. It does nothing for American Energy secure. Jon so it looks like the Keystone Pipeline is either a 1200 mile long job creating slip and slide made on of out of rain doughs and streams. Or the mississippi riverside poison urethra and satan himself. This will create jobs. Whats one spill here and there. It can spread miles. If our water is contaminated we have no water for the cattle. Jon thats the problem right there. Youre still using those water base cows. Your problem there is you got to upgrade to what do you call it, the oil burning cows. Theres your problem. Problem solved. You got to get those cows. Did you ever see those when youre driving . Senators from both parties battled for hours to sway the pipeline votes and aparently also to see if they could make the senates giant printer run out of toner and ink right there. The interesting thing about that picture is the senator made that and held the giant photo as though he were a human easel. When there is very clearly a regular nonhuman easel two rows back. Its a fetish. I guess thats a win for the republicans. Pipeline not even built yet, already created a job. Here we go. Its Mary Landrieu whose got the most at stake here. Besides the thousands of people about to live on enormous pipeline avenue, shes got the strong else argument. Weve been building pipelines in this country before most of us were born. All of us were born. Thats whats so outrages about this debate. I say to you tonight my fellow americans we need to return to doing things the way that they were before we were all born. Out like slavery. Bring that back. Wham i to go standing here voting like i was a man or something. We have laws. Return to how things were when we were not born. [laughter] jon so weve always built pipelines like most convincing line of reason. What else have you got. What people in louisiana want, what people in texas want, what people in mississippi want, what people in new jersey want, what people in south dakota and illinois and kansas and vermont, are good paying jobs. Jon are you going to name them all . Are you going to name all the states . Because are there states that tonight want good paying jobs . [laughter] of course this bill would not be found in oregon. So landrieus bottom of the line. And the pitch. Failed by one vote. Jon like my dad always said youre just not good enough. [laughter] yes. Thats it. Landrieus almost certainly gone. The Keystone Pipelines been voted down never to be seen again. Republicans take over the congress, the senate in january. They will bring this up first order of business and it will pass. Jon and when it does sw, exsenator Mary Landrieu will be thankful that even though the paper line didnt save her job, she can now apply for one of its 35 to millions of new ones. Well be right back. Well be right back. [applause] well be right back. [applause] you dont need to think about the energy that makes our lives possible. Because we do. Were exxonmobil and powering the world responsibly is our job. Because boiling an egg. Isnt as simple as just boiling an egg. Life takes energy. Energy lives here. Jon welcome back. The Keystone Pipeline gets another chance once Congress Comes back in january. The Keystone Pipeline faces one more important hurdle. In the case of the Keystone Pipeline its builder transcanada is using the power of Eminent Domain to take hundreds of miles of private land from private owners. Jon Eminent Domain when the Government Forces sale when its needed for public use. Not to be confused eminen domain for him to take your property if he dis you in a rap song. All right. The point is, i dont know the lyrics. The point is, the company that wants to build a pipeline through the United States needs more than just congressional approval. It needs signature. Transcanada cannot lay pipe anywhere it want to without permission. Its not bill cosby. It cant just go. Besides its got to be a republican congress. Everyone knows how republicans feel about Eminent Domain. After kelo versus new london, you all remember that. Ruled the government could take private land and give it to a corporation if doing so might help the economy. The power of Eminent Domain should not be used simply to further private economic development. Clear principle in all the constitution, the right of private property. So much for the constitutional guarantee that your property can only be taken for public use, not private use. Jon see, but this is different. Clearly the Keystone Pipeline is not private use. Its public use. Anybody in america could drive their tar sand oil up to canada and ship it back down that pipeline. Whether it detranscanada the private corporation that built it or the average citizen with an excess of tar sand oil. [laughter] you know how the republican felt when the government tried to set aside land for alleged public good of conserving land. Were going to take three million acres, and deem it untouchable for further energy for this country. Were going to step all over private Property Rights in this nation. God knows this country with a not built on the principal, taking rights away from an individual. [laughter] well thats different too though. You dont want to use Eminent Domain to conserve land, and its clear Keystone Pipeline wont be doing that. I word how proponents of the pipeline who hate Eminent Domain would square those circles. I am disturbed about Eminent Domain abuse because i think private Property Rights are fundamental who we are as americans. Jon go on. The u. S. Supreme court said wrongly i think that it should help out private interests. I dont think we should be helping out private interests. Jon of course. It sounds like with everything you believe and the sanctity of private property and the constitution itself, the problem with the Keystone Pipeline then is Eminent Domain. The problem with the Keystone Pipeline isnt the issue of Eminent Domain. The problem is the Obama Administration with the stroke of a pen shut that project down. Jon what the [bleep] [laughter] how did you get. Yes, the problem isnt the project i want undermining a constitutional principle i supposedly support. Its the president using his constitutional right to veto. The problem is the constitution. [laughter] its all going to be a moot point because nine months ago the republicanled house passed the private Property Rights protection act to prohibit the federal government from exercising its power of Eminent Domain for economic development. So guess what . Done and done. That law passes, theres no way transcanada can use Eminent Domain to build the pipeline. I support measures to limit Eminent Domain but i strongly oppose an exemption for transcanada, keystone xl and any other entreat that cannot provide proof their project are for the public benefit. Jon oh right. Unless the private Property ProtectionFreedom Fighters happen to include a small disclaimer in their Eminent Domain evil law that states that it, quote, shall not apply any project in which condemnation proceedings been implemented prior to date of enactment. In other words, any project already in the [ the world is your snowball see how it grows. Thats how it goes whenever it snows. The world is your snowball just for a song.

Im doing very well. Jon thank you for being here. In a season of wonderful performances, season of wonderful performances, your performances, your Steven Hawkings performance in this film is for me one of the most incredible, i dont understand how you did it even physically. For those of you who havent seen it, you embodied to the point where Steven Hawkings said i felt like i was watching myself when i saw you. It was amazing. That was a very kind thing he said. Thank you. It was amazing. Having the privilege to play him was the most extraordinary thing. And the extraordinary thing, i think you were at the premier. Jon i was at the premier when you premiered in toronto. I was so nerved and i come off stain and the reaction was kind to the film and you were the first person i saw. And we never met and i smoked you, i basically went to kiss you. Jon i was very excited and i believe i followed you around the rest of the weekend. Never attained that height again. It must have been very gratifying. Even just the physical transformation you went through, how do you, were there prosthetics, how did you embody his physical decline . Well, i cant, if you get some extraordinary charlie cox another actor in the film an old friend who said when i got cast he said when you get that opportunity you have no option but to give your everything. And so basically went and slowly kind of educating myself on the disease and meeting people who suffered from it. And its such a horrible disease. But then also meeting steve and spending a bit of time with him. A dancers who helped sort of define the physician kl physicality in my body the it was a long process. Jon when you meet someone with als and youre saying to them im going to play someone who suffers from a similar disease, does it give them any joy to share it with you, do they feel like thank you great dramatize had, thats wonderful. I went to the clinics every week and those specialists would meet the people who were suffering ter end. She would say theres an actor here playing Steven Hawkings and because steven was given two years to live and has broken all the rules. Its an anomaly. Hes survived 50 years. Hes also a great a bastion of hope and across the board people were so generous. They would let me let me feel what the muscles feel like. And there are these phantoms, it was so key to educate me. Jon is that its rigid or it stiffens or what happens. You basically have what are called upper neurons and lower neurons and if the upper neurons go theres rigidity. Theres a brilliant video on youtube of steven when he did zero gravity. Its kind of the only time you can see him out of the chair and you can see what his upper and what his lower. So that was kind of helpful to try to work out the progression. Jon is there a reason why scientifically that he has been able to sustain himself for this long. Have they pointed to something either genetically or within the diagnosis. Thats a great question. The answer is no. He has broken many rules. They dont know whether its the specific strain of the illness. Steven was diagnosed at 21. Shes had very little interest. This is secondary to him. But a lot of the specialists find its so key to meet him to see what it is. Jon is it strange that i now talk to you as though youre a neuroscientist. [laughter] you are. Now youre like my expert. If i ever like have a science question or Health Question i will call you. Please feel free. Dont expect a lengthy answer. I know you had jessica last night and you wanted her to explain interstellar to me. I havent seen it yet and if i dont see it i dont have to explain what its about. Jon im having actors on movies that people would like to see more than mine. Its a whole week where i brought people on. They come on and i go your movies great. Although. I went and saw your film. Jon did you go. I went and saw it this week. It was beautiful. Jon thank you for doing that.
