Lawmaker, elected official, a representative who wants to be a Public Servant who makes a decision and theres no turning back . It is absolute once you make that decision. But we are into the trapping season right now when it comes to the keystone xl pipeline and the republicans are back at it again. They are trying to trap some democrats who have the facts but they, too, are somewhat in denial. You see this latest report, the National Climate assessment, to me, is a total game changer. It is undeniable. Rubio has done the keystone xl pipeline, probably the biggest favor any politician could do. Theres no wiggle room. Now, on monday, we saw the latest example of republican obstructionism in an attempt to trap others in the senate. This is all about the keystone xl pipeline, which they claim is going to just create so many jobs. I will debate anyone, anywhere, anytime, in the media who wants to make the assessment that there will be massive jobs created because of the keystone xl pipeline. Ask me to go on any show, any network, i have the facts and beyond. I have been on the ground and i know exactly how many jobs its going to create and for how long, even the union jobs most of you dont like. Now, the senate voted 5536, you know, to kill a clean energy bill. It was bipartisan. The bipartisan bill that would have improved Energy Efficiency in buildings in america. You know how much energy we lose because we are not properly insulated . Because we have Old Buildings and Old Technology and havent upgraded things . We could save billions of dollars, create hundreds of thousands of jobs if we retrofit buildings in america. That would cost money and republicans dont want to do that. The bill was expected to pass until republicans attempted to attach an amendment that would approve the Keystone Pipeline. Louisiana senator, Mary Landrieu took to the senate floor. She was upset the Keystone Pipeline was not attached to the bill. Its a shame that all the hard work that has gone into this ended basically at a draw tonight. I thought it was important to pair it with the Keystone Pipeline because while theres strong support for the efficiency bill on the democratic side and significant support on the republican side, the Republican Leaders wanted to build and many of us, including myself, the Keystone Pipeline. Thats true, because there are probably a lot of people in that part of the country that dont have all the facts and are hired by the oil industry and thats a lot of votes. Easy to figure out. Marry landrieu and the republicans need to give up on the pipeline. It isnt going to happen. Okay . The idea it will help our economy and create jobs is literally a pipe dream. Everybody just throws out the bullet, its a job creator. Really . How many . How long . Give me a number. Only Foreign Countries would benefit from the xl pipeline, mostly the canadians and their megacompany, transcanada. I want to bring your attention to nanaimo daily news in british columbia. Right now their program is in unquestionably deep financial trouble. Not only in british columbia, but manitoba. They have a dam project thats been stalled by the government. They dont have the money. This means 450,000 homes in the area could see their energy costs go through the roof unless they do something about it because somebodys got to pay for that hydro thing. In manitoba they are ridden with debt with the program and they are thinking of spending billions to put a pipeline down the west side of lake winnipeg. Wait a minute, thats going to cost money, too. How are we going to balance this out . This is a Canadian Energy project. Good for them. They want to get that oil out of the ground because they are tired of deficits. When it comes down to it, the facts are clear. This pipeline is great for canada, good for them. But its risky for the United States. It is risky for our agriculture and it is unnecessary. We take all the risk and they get all the reward. The cash on the barrel. Now, look, it runs over farmland. We have done this story and we are going to keep doing it because the polls are slowly turning. I get calls on the talk show, well, ed, 60 of the people want to pipeline. Really . Not long ago, it was 70 . Amazing when the information gets out there and people start finding out exactly what the risk is and how unnecessary it is. Its not going to create the jobs they are talking about. Its not going to be the Energy Security this country needs. No. No, no, no, this is a bad deal. Its a huge risk to our water supply. For canada, i dont know if i would go so far to call it a blank check, but lets say theres a lot of space left on that check. Its estimated that the pipeline would add 617. 4 billion to canadas gross domestic product. Now, if president obama could get wait a minute. If the republicans could get something that would put 617 billion to the countrys gdp, think they would be for it . Oh, yeah. No wonder the canadian government is pushing so hard for the pipeline. This is back in february. We had canadian ambassador who is a class act, a great guy, i have Great Respect for him, but hes on the wrong side of the issue. He came on this program and made a hard push for the pipeline. What if the president says no to this . What does it do to diplomatic relations with canada . First of all, if the president says no, hes saying yes to higher Greenhouse Gases because the oil is coming down whether anybody likes it or not on rail. It does not require his president ial permit. So, the choice for john kerry and the president is do you want the oil coming through United States and through canada on rail or do you want it on pipelines. Lower costs, lower risk and lower ghgs on pipelines. Other than that, its not that complicated. Aside from canada, the publicly traded transcanada would no doubt make big money on the pipeline. Its estimated they could make 2 billion a year in revenue from the pipeline. Would you take that deal . It would be good news for shareholders and bad news for americans. Theres another dynamic playing out here when it comes to hydro. The canadians sell hydro power to the United States. Numerous states are purchasers. Guess what . Those states are using more and more natural gas, we are fracking the hell out of everything out of our own ground and buying less hydropower from the folks up north. Now they need this pipeline. If president obama says yes to this keystone xl pipeline, he may go down as one of the biggest disappointments for the Progressive Movement ever. Hes done so many good things. But, theres so much information even as of late that would guide him on the correct path to the future, to make a statement collectively that, you know, we are going to put an end to this stuff. This is not a job creator. Its not a secure Energy Situation and it certainly hurts it climate. Say no mr. President. You are going to hear a lot from the ed show on this because i want everybody in this country to keep thinking what the republicans are saying. But then listen to the facts. And that will guide you on this. Get your cell phones out. I want to know what you think. Tonights question, who would benefit more from the Keystone Pipeline, the United States or canada. A for the United States states b for canada to 67222. Go to our blog and leave a comment. Well bring you the results later on in the show. For more, let me bring in jane club of bold, nebraska. She is here with us tonight in new york. Jane, will the pipeline benefit canada more than the United States . Im asking you to answer the text question first. Theres no question. This is a canadian bail out. They need their oil to get to the export market. Without the tar sands, they are not going to make as much money. Thats why they need this pipeline so much. This is a massive pipeline. It is a 36inch pipeline. Its not a small 12inch pipeline we see in our communities. When you look at this pipeline and what it will do for canada, its understandably so why they would push it so hard. Energy security is the first right wing bullet point. Will it provide Energy Security for america because its in our hemisphere . No. First of all, its not our oil. A small percentage of american oil could get on. Its not a guarantee. Then it goes straight to the export market t. Refineries capable of handling tar sands are export. One is owned by saudi arabia. It gets under my skin when the republicans say its an american pipeline. You are handing oil to a middle Eastern Refinery that is going to sell it on the export market. How does that make sense . Are there elected officials in the midwest actually telling people their gas prices will go down if the pipeline is built . Have you heard that . Representative terry sent an email saying their Monthly Energy bill would go down if its built. That is outrageous. They tried to back pedal. When you tell somebody their Monthly Energy bill is going to go down, that means utility bills. Everybody buys a tank of gas. Thats a monthly bill to a family. Theres nowhere in this equation where Peoples Energy prices would go down if the pipeline goes through the middle of the country. Thats the question. Will it be less energy to americans . If its going on to the open market and speculated on wall street, what does that have to do with nebraska . They want to cut through the heartland. Its the easiest path for them. Its not good for america. Its good for canadas bottom line. Where is the momentum on this . They are trying to do anything they can to get it done in the senate, they dont have the votes. No. What does that mean . It means it is politically dead in the senate. Theres no way and it wasnt legally possible anyway, it was going to be a ceremonial vote. Theres no way to get momentum out of the senate. Does this embolden the president saying you cant get it passed in the senate, why should i say yes . Absolutely. Its backfired. Its given some democrats who have a hard time politically in their own backyard with an election coming up but embolden the president saying you cant pass it, why should i say yes . The president has a stiffer backbone and it gave him enough ammunition to make sure the pipeline is rejected. The democrats who say they support the pipeline, i want to tell them to read the book. Get a backbone. Stand on the facts. Stand with farmers and ranchers. Talk imminent domain. Theres space to make sure they dont continue fooling americans on the pipeline. The senators on the democratic side, are they buying into the right wing bullet points . I have heard them talk about jobs. I mean arent they buying into what the Oil Companies are saying . They might as well read out of the transcanada books. They do fake meetings where they try to sell us. They are siing the thing they mislead folks on. The Climate Assessment that came out, i want to play a clip from marco rubio on sunday. Here it is. How big a threat is climate change. I dont agree with the notion some are putting out there that somehow there are actions we can take today to have an impact on whats happening in our climate. Our climate is always changing. You do not think human activity the production of co2 caused global warm sng. I dont believe its causing the dramatic changes to the climate the way scientists are portraying it. I do not believe the laws they propose to pass will do anything about it. He says the climate has always been changing, it will destroy the economy and doesnt believe the scientists, over 300 of them that worked three years on this. We should point out in the National Climate assessment, theres a warning about the city of miami. That is the city that stands to lose the most, the earliest in all of this and here is a republican senator across the board in total denial. Does that strengthen your argument . Absolutely. Senator rubio is denying sinsz. Hes saying that the climate scientists who spend their entire career studying climate change, they are wrong. Somehow his gop rhetoric is right. Folks in florida should recognize, florida, thats where i was born. Im protective of that state. Theres a chance parts of florida will be under water if we dont stop creating these forms of fossil fuel. Tar sand is the worst. Is that in the state Department Report . It was. Its misleading when the republicans said they say its fine and dandy, they gave scenarios. I want to play this clip in exchange with litery. Here it is. Congressman, they cannot build this pipeline until this is cleared up by the nebraska state supreme court, correct . No. Right now, its under a stay. They can Start Building it right now other than they may have to go into eminent domain. What about that . He is wrong. Theres no stay on the decision. They are trying to overturn the decision, the landowner victory. Essentially, that said, transcanada has no legal route. Not only do they not have a legal route in nebraska, terry was 100 wrong. They are going to lose their route in south dakota in june. Out of three states they are going to be without two. So, we are about a month away from south dakota losing its permit. The time will run out and they will have to repermit it. Will the repermitting process be harder this time around . Theres no question. You have tribal groups. Its going to rope in john thune. It is. Im sure hes a yes vote on the pipeline. The dynamic changed. Are landowners more attune to whats going on here . I think farmers and ranchers shifted the debate. I hope politicians in south dakota start listening to the constituents they put in their political ads. They have concerns to the risks to their livelihoods. The political trap didnt work. They couldnt get it out. You are doing great work. The more people that find out about this, the more attitudes are changing on it. Yeah. What if president obama says yes . I mean not only will he be a disappointment to democrats and progressives like you and i, hell be a disappointment to his girls. He openly talks about how much he talk toss his girls on climate change. Its an issue he wanlts to tackle personally. I dont see how he would approve this risky project.
