Nasa’s climate scientist, James Hansen, and actor-activist Darryl Hannah are among the latest demonstrators to be arrested outside the White House where the Keystone tar sands protest is in its second week. We’ll talk to two other notable arrestees about the importance of President Obama’s upcoming decision on the Canada-to-Texas pipeline: CREDO’s CEO, Michael Kieschnick and Elijah Zarlin, also of CREDO.

Hear what he has to say about what’s on the line for the Obama administration.
