sasha, companies are not just leaving california. it's washington, massachusetts, new york, new jersey. what do us is th reason for that? >> well, for one thing, it's the first time i've ever agreed with gary b., so that's great. the reason is this is pure market competition. if you're looking at, for example, united healthcare in california, they have 2% of the individual policy market. they can't be competitive. the reason the people aren't leaving them is because they can't because no other insurer will take them, which is the whole point of what's going to happen under obama care. if you have three companies in california that have87.% of that market, united is not leaving california. they're going to go into employer health care coverage because it's more profitable there and then they're going to do individual in the states where they have a bigger market share. where they'll make more money. >> but, jim, doesn't this all spell government run health care to you? >> it does. the whole thing back fired. it doesn't make any sense.

sasha and i listen to their friends and see them interact, they're better than we are. that is true in any community that i've visited all across the country. >>> gentlemen, glad you're both here. james, i'll begin with you. the president surprised the press. he walked in the briefing room unannounced on a friday afternoon. first of all, your reaction to what he said and then also the timing of this message. >> i feel like the the press corps was like, whoa. we were on air as this was unfolding. there was a lot of excitement and surprise that the president was going to deliver these remarks. i think the timing -- normally that friday afternoon slot is reserved for stories that politicians want to see buried. we started early this week with the zimmerman verdict. you had all this discourse and civil unrest in response to it. i don't know if people got a chance to see fruitville station, about oscar grant, which is also related to this. and the president's comments last night. it seemed we had reached critical mass around these issues of racial profiling, bias in the crim

they were groping about how to talk to sasha and malia about it, how do we as parents and elders in the community in addition to being president and first lady think about where we stand in this moment? i agree, james. normally i don't really care much if you can't hail a cab. whatever. today he drew the link. he said the same discriminatory things that make it hard for me to be in a certain situation of retail or catching a cab are the same things that make it harder for me to buy a home and get a decent, you know, education. and are the same things that could on any given evening lead to the death of my child and that was pretty stunning. >> and i thought that was actually in a lot of ways the key of it. there's been a lot before, a discussion about the kinds of speeches the president gave in 2008 during the philadelphia race speech when he was trying to bridge these different worlds and speak from his very unique experience. there's been a lot of talk about speeches like the one at morehouse which is more about him speaking to the african-american community. this was a different kind

( laughter ) what does it feel like? >> it's very cold! >> will you die because of that coolness? >> chanoff: no, people do not die because of the coolness. >> simon: he had three days to prepare them for a leap of a thousand years. >> chanoff: many of them have never been exposed to lights or to a fork and a knife, or seeing a tv. it's a group that's lost in time. >> simon: they had four days to pack their luggage. they took little, left less behind. >> abraham yel nhial! >> simon: abraham was taking a book he'd been carrying for ten years. you still have the bible that you carried from ethiopia here? >> yel nhial: yes. it's my

sasha segan of pc magazine joins us via skype this morning. hello, and should consumers buy into the need for a new phone every year? - well, a lot of people already feel that they need a new phone every year, because apple, samsung, htc, all the big phone manufacturers, are constantly pushing these new devices with new features and new designs. so in that case, the carriers are really just reacting to what they see as consumer pressure to let people upgrade more often. - and who benefits from that? the consumer? or the industry? - well, in terms of these specific price plans, it's the carrier as often as not. if you look at at&t's new next plan, for instance, consumers only benefit if you have all of your old phones in a drawer. as soon as you start reselling your old phones on ebay or recellular or wherever, you're making more money through reselling those old phones than you would have saved with at&ts new service plan. - but is there any waste involved in this? i have a pile of phones at home somewhere. - well, at&t and t-mobile actually m

[ laughter ] oh, no, no, no. >> jimmy: you have to get out of this. >> i think it's a question of time. if you can get through the day. i think like, two hours, probably, nothing will happen. three hours is starting to get risky. i'm going to try to get him out of there after like, an hour and a half. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, i don't want any tarantulas missing at the time. what's his name? >> something bob. like, crazy bob or wild bob. >> jimmy: crazy bob? [ laughter ] don't do this! you cannot have crazy bob come over with poisonous animals for the kids. you've gotta get out of this thing, man. >> he's a reputable guy. >> jimmy: he is, yeah. he's a pretty reputa

svetlana is celebrating with her american fiance and her 13-year-old daughter, sasha. the first act ends. nothing out of the ordinary. >> translator: then the second half started, and right around this time i heard, no, heard the gunshot, and saw a man dressed in camouflage getting on the stage. >> the theater's house camera captures the first startling moments of what will turn out to be a four-day siege. a masked man shooting wildly into the air, the 850 theater goers don't know whether it's part of the show or something else. >> translator: i looked around and saw groups of armed men walking along the aisles on both sides. >> the terrorists are filming amateur video, which shows women strapped with what they claim to be bombs, lining the theater aisles, waiting for the command to detonate. their leader, a notorious chechen terrorist commander, takes the stage. >> translator: boria behaves like a conquerer and announced from the stage that this was a siege. and they demanded the war in chechnya to come to an end. >> at the time, chechnya is fighting its second civil

something that i have read already called a victory lap the secret science of winning campaigns by sasha eisenberg and it's about how people need data and analytics to make their decisions so it covers how the campaigns work in terms of talking and communication and this is the hidden side, really the doings that happen and it's an important book to read. that was the first thing on my summer reading list. the second book on my summer reading list is a biography of tip o'neill by john farrell. he is a terrific writer. it's an older book but i think it's the perfect thing to read. tip o'neill would be an absolutely terrific book. it won awards when it came out. the third look is lean in by cheryl stamberg of facebook. it's about women in the workplace and how they can succeed in how they should succeed and it seems like an important book to read. as a huge baseball fan i can't go with summer without reading a baseball book. one is the art of healing. the art of fielding. the fifth book is guilty pleasure reading that i haven't done yet and i've put off which is game of thrones. it's a ver

. >> malia and sasha, they have friends whose parents are same-sex couples. there have been times where michelle and i have been sitting around the dinner table and we've been talking about their friends and their parents, and malia and sasha, it wouldn't dawn on them that somehow their friends' parents would be treated differently. it doesn't make sense to them, and frankly, that's the kind of thing that prompts a change of perspective. >> for president obama, so much depends on the frame. he's saying right there, yeah, you have kids, right? and i have kids. their generation sees this differently. so i moved a little bit, and maybe you'll move little bit, too. no, he cannot make the nation move on the issue of marriage equality, but he can frame the issue in a way that makes it easier for the country to move. he did it, again, this month after a florida jury acquitted the man who killed young trayvon martin. >> you know, when trayvon martin was first shot, i said that this could have been my son. another way of saying that is trayvon martin could have been m

doesn't mean we are in a post racial society or racism is eliminated but when i talk to malia and sasha, and i listen to their friends and see them interact, they are better than we are. they're better than we were on these issues. >> bernice, your father's dream coming true? >> well, i certainly think that for some people in america it is. there are those who have certain privileges and opportunities to be able to be judged by the content of their character. when we look at i think the average, every day african-american in particular, i think we still have tremendous work to do. in fact, depending on whether or not you're in middle class america or as we call it working class america or you're impoverished in the black community, when you look at some of the statistics in our society, there is still a tremendous racial gap. it's not really even about how far we've come in terms of people's racial attitudes. we have to begin to deal with some of the systemic and institution institutional situations with racism in our society. >> thank you. we appreciate you coming in on a saturday. the

that's different from sasha and malia and their friends in school on the basketball court. so our measure of how far we are moving can't just be the measure of two beautiful little girls with great access but it also has to be the measure of these people who don't necessarily, into contact with each other for the kinds of dialogues we are talking about until it's too late, and till it's in the courtroom and a juror can't fathom, can't comprehend this young woman who is sitting in front of her. so that is one thing that i will say. the other thing that i will say is all of these are important. they are all a mess. they are all places where we struggle and where we fight with each other. we fight with her colleagues colleagues and they're all sites where work has to be done and i think a new site that we are seeing and that we really need to attend to much more is the side of social media. twitter frankly gives me a headache. it really does. it gives me a headache. but twitter, i get angry at the ignorance. i get angry at the access that raises have to me and especially to my
