or who has it. christie s office is denying these latest accusations. major boost for keystone. that s the pipeline system that will bring crude oil from alb t alberta, canada to the u.s. most likely by texas. they say it will not hurt the environment. now the pressure is on for president obama to green light this project. peter doocy is standing by with the latest. the big news is the state department s environmental impact statement finds that building the keystone pipeline to transport 830,000 barrels of crude oil a day from canada and montana into the southern ut isn t going to hurt the environment anymore than if the pipeline doesn t get built because that oil is going to be extracted any way, and without the pipeline, it might be shipped out by trains or trucks which could have a more significant impact on the environment.
have pretty good weather. for those people who say new york should not have it or new england shouldn t have it or baltimore shouldn t have it or washington shouldn t have it, keep in mind we have better weather here at this moment than they had in atlanta who hosted one before, jacksonville who hosted one before and dallas got slammed with weather. you can never predict what happens in february. in terms of the game itself, everyone points to the fact that p peyton manning doesn t do well in cold weather. i ll be honest with you, i ve not seen up close a defense as smothering and awesome as seattle in quite some time. my apologies to the 85 bears and the ravens this past year. i would not be surprised if you roll back this take next weekend and i ll be wearing a different outfit, but i will say this, this game goes into overtime.
but we re talking about the flip side, though, as government strengths will the private sector grow. i make the argument that it does. and i ll make the argument that at this point the numbers we ve seen from the shrinking, from the sequester, that it s so minimal it doesn t have anything to do with each other. john, what do you think? i d say laying off cops and teachers in detroit has nothing to do with the bach formation in north and south dakota. gary b. is 100% correct. government can hinder things. the monterrey shell was drilled in california california. that wipes out the california deficit. if we had a national energy plan, we could create millions of jobs by knowing if a pipeline works or if a pipeline doesn t. we are the only developed country in the world not having one. that does hurt. jim, take him on. we ve got a lot of part-time workers in this jobs report. why is that? because of government mandate relating to obama care.
tie. doesn t change the delegate count. mitt romney saying in his statement this, the results from the iowa caucus revealed a virtual tie. i would like to thank the iowa republican party for their careful attention to the caucus process. people might want to talk about that a little bit and recognize rick santorum for his strong performance in the state. great start to defeating president obama in iowa and else where in the general election. he leaves out a big thing which is, really, is he 34 points behind rick santorum and does it matter? let s get to shannon travis in des moines this morning and also bring in our panelists. let s start at the far end this morning. roland martin, finally, has joined us here. ron brownstein back with us, again. shannon, update us here on what happened and what the implications could be. this is a bombshell. let s say that. this was already, soledad, the closest vote in iowa caucus history and mitt romney, we thought he claimed iowa and the
he wants the pipeline there and trying to use the environmental card here and trying to create that argument. it s a lost cause for him. susan. yes. doesn t it lower oil, gas prices, too, doesn t that help the economy? you know, it could. it s not going to be in the storm though. that s the other thing to remember here, the payroll tax would be an immediate benefit starting in january in a couple of weeks, what s coming out of the pipeline. we already have it, susan. i know, getting rid of it. senator reed wants to bring it down further, but getting rid of it is a contractionary effect some say could be 1/2 a poi gdp. and we can t afford to lose a half point. and talking about not getting the payroll tax back to the employer and now talking about only giving it to the employee side of it and defeats the purpose of what the thing was suppose today do to help small business. they re talking both sides here. they don t know what
