Something boom laughter i dont know if you know this cheers and applause you may not realize this, i collect wrists laughter im a wristologist laughter i met a dude i have been doing this show now, 93 years. Never met a dude wearing a bunch of watches who says to me, i just asked you because im a horologist. I dont come visit us tickets are free. laughter lets get into the program. First, there are certain things that are forever. Diamonds. Batman. And, at this point, the debate over the keystone xl pipeline. For six years, the debate over the keystone xl pipeline has often dominated beltway politics. If its ever built, the pipeline will carry crude extracted from the tar sands of Alberta Canada some 1,700 miles to nebraska, but it has been stalled for six years at the Canadian Border awaiting the president s approval. Jon oh poor lonely pipeline i dont know why the oil doesnt just go around america this way and just sneak in from the mexican side. Apparently, we dont even patrol that area laughter but obviously the Keystone Pipeline is an incredibly contentious issue. I imagine the new congress is gonna want to put an issue like this on ice for a bit and start small with some other less divisive legislation. First item up in the new senate will be the keystone xl pipeline. I can confirm for you that if this bill passes this congress the president wouldnt sign it. Jon gonna be a fun two years laughter well, first thing were gonna do is poke you in the chest well, i can assure you the president will break your bleep fingers. laughter so here we go. We have an impasse. Keystone pipeline, its been lasting over half a decade ive gotta tell you, for something to get this contentious, to last this long, it has got to be some special pipeline. I assume the first of its kind. Canada already has at least four major pipelines from alberta, delivering crude to u. S. Markets. That, of course, does not include a slew of secondary pipelines that cross the border into states like Montana Wyoming and colorado. laughter jon you know, i never realized america looked so much like my aunts legs. laughter so the thats not even that old of a leg, is it . And thats actually quite pretty. That looks more like a tattoo really than varicose veins id have to say. laughter so the fact that keystone is a pipeline cant be why this issue is so contentious. laughter applause its, its theyre laughing. Before i talked to the horologist, someone in the audience who was a cross between Bradley Cooper and sean penn told me that i slap the desk every time i ask a question, which i had not realized because ive only been here for 17 years and i so i just did it just now and they respond by laughing at me. cheers and applause heres my problem i dont actually watch the show, so i dont know. But getting back to the pipeline, the pipeline cant be the issue. I think the issue is because the keystone would be the first pipeline to transport canadian tar sands, the filthiest of the oils jon the recent one called the Alberta Clipper takes a huge volume of Oil Sands Oil down to chicago refineries. Jon woah. Setting aside that you named a supposedly safe pipeline after a fast moving weather front that quickly and severly that ruins your citys livability, the takeaway is we already have a country crisscrossed with Canadian Oil Pipelines including those bringing the dreaded tar sand oil. So why has this pipeline become a Battle Ground . Keystone became a big political issue sometime in 2011. Environmentalists kind of adopted keystone. And theyve done a lot of work to elevate it as a symbol. We will not let you buildthispipeline jon you know, you dont have to go with the first chant you think of. stilted chant we do not support the keystone xl pipeline. laughter because we think it is very bad for the en vi. Ron. Ment deep breath laughter and it will not create the jobs that backers claim it will. laughter so some environmental activists got involved. Well, what can they do . Well, it turns out, quite a bit. Before their involvement a tar sand pipeline project like the Alberta Clipper sailed through congress and the state Department LikeAlberta Clippers with no congressional debate but now that environmentalists called attention to it, both sides must dig in with their most persuasive rhetoric. First the right. When we talk about building the infrastructure that we need, think about how important that is for the security of our country. Energy independence provides economy security from the threat of terrorism by organizations that pose imminent threats to our nation like isil. Jon if we dont build this pipeline, the terrorists win. laughter jon but if we do democrats. Misery follows the tar sands. I think xl stands for extra lethal. Billowing black clouds have contaminated our children. Jon our children look at our children this is what pipelines have done to them theyre so contaminated we should seal them up in a drum and bury them under nevada start with some new kids. So, the truth is, this country already has mario brother levels of pipiness adding the keystone xl to the mix would be like farting inside a manure factory. But its a lesson for activists that even in a relatively zero sum fight, if you can tap into our reserves, you can take a fight that should have lasted just one day and miraculously make it last eight teen hundred its been over 2300 days since transcanada filed its permit application. Almost as much time as it took us to build the transcontinental railroad. Longer than it took lewis and clark to explore the louisiana purchase. Longer than it took for the United States to win world war ii longer than the amount of time during his presidency that William Howard taft was stuck in a bathtub laughter they couldnt get him out so after a while, they just drew leg holes in it and let him walk around like that this is what victory sometimes looks like in a democratic system. Maybe you cant stop our country from quenching our ceaseless thirst for the dirtiest of dirty oils the anal of oils but at least now maybe well be encouraged to bring that oil in some safer way. Whether or not the northern leg of the Keystone Pipeline gets approval from washington, the industry says that oil will get where it needs to go. Oil companies have turned to trains, barges and trucks to get their goods to market, often with tragic consequences. Most experts say transporting oil by pipeline is far safer than by rail or by barge. Jon trains and barges well be right back. Damn you cheers and applause cheers and applause dad like, how many more weeks are you gonna be using my car . Until my Insurance Claim goes through this is our car.

Motor trends 2015 truck of the year. cheers and applause jon welcome back laughter the right to an attorney is enshrined in our constitution which means you know its gotta be good. But one state is taking it in an interesting direction, as Jessica Williams reports. Reporter americas Justice System isnt always perfect and constitutional liberty like the right to a lawyer often fall through the cracks, but con state is tackling the problem head on, alabama civil rights attorney julian mcphillips. Everyone deserves the right to a fair trial. Exactly. What whether they get it is a whole another thing. In july alabama passed h. B. 494 to level the playing field. H. B. 494 sets aside money for an attorney appointed by the law to protect the person on whose benefit theyre appointed. When have they become a bastion of civil rights. Much more than they realized. Really . I thought your state bird looked like the electric chair. laughter the alabama aclu filed lawsuit. This law is about politicians and abortion politics. Whoa who said anything about a bobos. We dont call it a bobos down here. Then she told me who the law really defends. The bill defends our state funds for lawyers to represent fetuses. Excuse me. A judge appoints an attorney for the fetus. But in the state of alabama, a teen needs parental consent to get an abortion. If she cant get that consent, she can go to the court. Now, with this new law the court can appoint an attorney for the fetus and actually put the teen on trial. Oh so mcphillips is fighting for the rights of the not yet born you get a call from a fetus that needs legal representation, what happens . I cannot get a call from the fetus for anything much less legal representation. So how do you maintain confidentiality. If you have an unborn child in somebody elses womb i cant communicate with them directly. You have a crazyass job sir. I dont know whats in the recommend eerlium of pockets but i have a lot of questions. How do you know if the fetus is innocent. I think its a safe assumption that most if not all fetuses are incept. What about a fetus that eats his own twin in utero. That would never happen. A fetus can eat its own twin in utero. If thats not evil youre being ash surd. Maybe i was. After all, alabamas legal system clearly has the interest of the minor at heart. Just listen. The fetus attorney can call in witnesses like the boyfriend, the boyfriends mother, the employer, the basketball coach, her pastor. Anyone they want to testify against her. And then in the end if the teen is allowed to access an abortion the fetus lawyer can appeal and run up the clock and if theyve do that, weve got a parent. Oh, bleep , thats how babies are made in alabama. And mcphillips is sure that these Court Proceedings are carried out with the utmost sensitivity. I speak for the unborn childs mother. I may show her figurines even of how far along her baby would look like. Oh what is that . This is a human life. Oh thank goodness. This is what the unborn child looks like at 12 weeks. Cute. Im glad you think its cute. Also think an ail yeb is cute. Safe to say alabama is dmoitd protecting the unborn no near matter what the cost. The state of alabama is broke. We dont have a statewide public defender system and to take money away from that, away from the needs of people trying to navigate that system to represent fetuses is insulting. Its particularly insulting to women. So there are people out there who really need help. There are a lot of people in alabama that need a good attorney that cant afford one. Hmm. I know somebody who can help. This is a fetus 220 months gestation, life is cut short because he doesnt have access to a fair trial. No grown man is a fetus. He has a heart beat he can feel pain well, hes not a fetus. There you have it. If you cant afford an attorney, alabama has got your pack until the day youre born. Standing tall.

You wrote a book about Jesse Ventura . He apparently is suing. An ongoing nightmare. But her film is amazing, her husband.
