The hosts explain how a $33 billion write-off for the spill response resulted in a $10 billion tax break for the company. They also discuss the $20 billion escrow fund managed by Kenneth Feinberg, noting that the funds are likely to be deposited in major banks like Goldman Sachs rather than local institutions.

The hosts expand on this, suggesting that the underwater video feeds of the well capping might also be fabricated or staged. They question the high quality of the video in deep, oily water and suggest a media hoax is underway.

If the well's casing integrity fails, the result could be an unstoppable "volcano" of oil. While BP is testing the pressure of the well, drilling on the primary relief well has been temporarily halted to monitor the capping stack's performance.

While President Obama claims there are no significant elevations in toxins, critics compare the situation to the long-term health effects seen after the Exxon Valdez disaster and question the administration's transparency.

While Cooper frames this as a violation of First Amendment rights, the hosts suggest the 20-yard restriction is reasonable for safety and that the media's outrage is part of a broader shift against the Obama administration.

Clinton's comments regarding the "geological monster" in the Gulf are interpreted as a subtle critique of the Obama administration's handling of the crisis and the Jones Act.
