that, and he also said he s going to have a hearing and he s going to call the people back and waiting for the documents. so let s wait and let that process evolve. reporter: thank you, sean. couple questions, first about keystone. what changed? it seemed like it took forever in covering the obama administration for this thing to get over the finish line. it never did and relatively quickly, less than 65 days in it s finally made its way over the finish line. what changed especially with respect to the state department s view of the ski tone xl pipeline and is it your opinion it would be good to hear from the president win, lose or draw, after what we learned today, vis-a-vis health care reform? so simply put on keystone it was a priority. the president came in, he signed an executive order on it. he had talked about it during the campaign, and he made it a priority. he made it a priority for his team here at the white house, to get it done. not only the jobs, but incorporating u.s
the trance partnership first. listen to what she said. i did say when i was secretary of state three years ago i hoped it would be the gold standard. it was just finally negotiated last week and if looking at its, it didn t meet my standard. so now she is against that deal. she also denied changing her position on the 63 stone xl pipeline. very explicitly. i never took a on keystone until i took a on keystone. i never took a on keystone until i took a position on keystone. as a member of the obama administration she strongly supported, she said it was the gold standard. no that she hoped it. the changes made to it largely addressed the remaining concerns and yet now she s against the deal. as for keystone pipeline, yes, she never explicitly said that she thought that this was a good idea. she did say she was inclined to
run a negative ad against another candidate. sanders does correctly criticize hillary clinton on issues and point out the differences. he s gone after clinton for not taking a position on the trans pacific partnership. he has criticized hillary clinton on her cozy position with wall street. on the key stone xl pipeline. and earlier today hillary clinton again refused to answer a question on the keystone xl pipeline. as president, would you sign a bill yes or no in favor of allowing the keystone xl pipeline. well as you know i was the secretary of state who started that process. i was the one who put into place the investigation. i have now passed it off, as obvious because i m no longer there, to secretary kerry. this is president obama s decision. and i am not going to second
been elected and the leadership are against the key stoenl xl pipeline. where is this momentum coming from. just the financial sector? you re absolutely right. the new government there is not supportive of the key stone xl pipeline. they say it will shipment jobs to the u.s. where we should be refining that oil here. momentum has definitely waned over the past few years. i remember when i was in that province a few years back the question was more when will it get approved in the united states. now, then it became if it will be approved and now i feel like we re all waiting for when it will officially be told we re get an official no and we can kind of move on from there and we can see if the next presidency will approve it. so i think that you re right. it is possibly still coming from companies, from the business sector which is very heavily invested in its approval. overall i have a sense that momentum in canada as a whole
it is the pro afterle of the key stone xl pipeline designed to bring the tar sands of canada down to the gulf of mexico. tar sands are dirtier more carbon intense form of oil. and creating in pipeline would be in the words of nasa climate scientist james hansen, would be like creating the fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet. people in the know had supposed all along that keystone was a done deal, but a remarkable group of activist delaying it at every turn and continuing to mobilize to delay it which in turn has made it into a top tier issue for republicans who simply cannot understand why we are still not pumping canadian oil sand into texas already. you know there s one major shovel-ready project ready to go, and that s the keystone pipeline. called the keystone xl pipe line. it is a no brainer, it has been blocked by the obama administration now for four years. we are absolute committed as republican team to keep the keystone pipeline on the front burner. approving
