and then there are big money eople prepared to send in checks, fun ad campaigns and challenges to anybody who knows the slightest inclination to eal with reality or to compromise. that's on't think forever. nothing in american politics is forever. and there are lots of republicans who don't agree with these things. there are a lot of people in office that don't agree with these things. but they're afraid to speak up the hey're the last of republican-identified voters who on't agree with these things, who think more like a middle of the road, americans in general about these issues. the health care arena too. but right now, something really xtreme happened in the republican party. t's affecting what the elected officers and candidates feel they can do to address the big in the united states. storm passes and i don't really think the weather here.y is the right one because the one thing, it's not really a storm, is it? it's a human creation. and it will have to be countered activity.uman broad based social movements to areas change in certain and republicans who don't agree things going to

to say,eople to be able she really talked about what was happening, what was going on, and it was a history lesson. it has always been important to me. i love blues music so much. it. ithe potential of want it for the rest of the world. in order to do that, i have to evolve and grow so the music can evolve and grow. i had been singing for 15 years. to getsaid, i am going voice lessons so i can learn to sing. evolve andonstantly grow so the music can. that's what i am trying to do. much pushback do you get for being straight forward in your lyrical content, or is it welcomed? >> i think it is welcomed by most. the other ones we ain't going to worry about. tavis: how much of your success? your dad knew you were gifted. you were on the stage when you were 11. >> it was the cotton club. venue, wrong city. how much of your success did your dad get to see before he passed? >> not that much of it. he got to hear the first four of my album. he got to see me perform because i did some gigs with him in the last couple years, but he didn't well ihance to see how did afterwards. he got to see it. he kn

>> well, you know, the impact, these numbers hold, these impacts will not be as negative as what eople anticipate. we have a major bed of this going here. then they say that that happen despiteobbama's. nei i do want to get into that, get inside your head to understand whais inside what is going on. whre is there a sense with republiccns until the emperor th he has no close. >> it's a big question. a little inflammatory. >> they were able to set their exchanges in a timelyay. neil: let's talk about the website. does anyone tell the president that it's not going to be that way? >> i doo't know. i wasn't there in the run-up to this, but i think that in this case of the group of people in the individua market were getting notifications that they can kee their plns come and they have a switch to different plans, this is a thing that is applying his something like 2 of the country. neil: we don't know about that percentage. >> 5% in the market total. as for more than half of the people are either ither to receive the current policy or are getting some animosities be one what you think will

my first question to you is do , whatink that people people are writing online and read,eople are wanting to do those sink together? does everything that people read , is that what we should be writing? in your experience as the editor-in-chief, other sections that you have to kill because people were reading it? >> i've never really seen a ton of point in writing these people did read. the word traffic content is mechanical. it is just readers. if you can't attract readers to the thing you are writing, you're probably doing something wrong. there are more people interested in reading about marilyn monroe then bobby kennedy. there is always going to be a larger audience for some things than others. a good story will always, even if it is relatively narrow getow audience, will always some traffic. you should have a sense of what is the possible universe of readers for this. an advancedy about in the law about transgender rights. you better aim to hit the mall with that story. everybody who might possibly read it, reads it. that is our approach. >> with your background as a i'm curiousporte

i think it is important for eople to know who the snap beneficiaries are. what gets lost in the debate, when you talk about numbers, as who are these folk's? the folks who are on snap in this area, can they work, should they work? 90% cannot, because they are seniors with disabilities, or they are children. they are also actually in the workforce, but they are working up our job, or they are working a full-time job that does not pay very much. what we begin to understand in the snap program, the low error rate, the low fraud rate, we get a better feel for this program. we need to be focused on better policy, not numbers. >> these are very important numbers in terms of the number of ethnic -- investigations you are doing them a who the demographics are, etc. if you're a person who does not qualify for the snap program, but you are struggling to pay your bills, but you are behind someone at the store who is a cart full of five hour energy drinks, and they pay within ebt card, you will have frustration. how do you address the frustration that people associate

eople again are seeing the situation is deteriorating because a qaeda and its rganizations are back. those supporting it are ack. it is leading to more unity. we will defeat the terrorists. we came to washington to consolidate the partnership and cooperation which removed forward -- and the cooperation in which we move forward. we support the idea of moderation. we have meetings with other countries that are also seeking moderation in the region against extremism. we'll have other meetings. in each meeting, more countries are joining because they want to be moderated. we want to mobilize to face difficulties we are facing. rankly, we need to say that al qaeda benefited from the international contradictions, and from experiences and expertise they gained, so the develop their methods the way they hide. this is why we also should find new ways and new means to counter the means that al qaeda is using in the region. help for us in iraq. iraq is very close to syria. the relations between the countries are stored. only talk about the american role in iraq, it starts in iraq. it ends anywh

[laughter] instead of solving problems, the leaders shut down government. it is amazing the obama administration is capable of barricading a war memorial despite government being shut down but they can't operate a website when it gets up and running. it is not just that the political parties disagree. but they are so disagreeable. there is discord and distrust. our leaders have forgotten how the govern. believe me. i know a few things about forgetting.

what makes the patents of these eople who are they call patent trolls, what makes them different than the good patents that are owned by the very same multinational corporations or the same corporations that bring similar litigation forward when their patents are being violated. the so-called patent troll is being identified as out for profit. they're out for profit, not from actually seeing technology being used or out for profit by getting involved in something that he or she did not invent. surprise, surprise. we've got lawyers who are engaged in litigation only for the fact that they are going to make some money out of the litigation. yes, we have frivolous lawsuits and we should do what we can to stop them, but that doesn't mean you change the fundamental rights of those people whose rights are being violated. if the small inventor doesn't enforce resources to his or her patent, an individual or company can buy those rights like they can buy some land from someone who didn't have the resources to plant it or to commercially try to sell it or they could create a partnership. the s

you also mentioned a number of .eople are signing up i noticed in washington state, 35,000 people signed up for obama care. 87% will receive their coverage through medicaid. tony 6000 people enrolled in kentucky and 80% of those will in medicaid. 96% are going into medicaid. it has costs to the federal government, particularly with some of the increases that were put into this law. are we going to be able to afford this increase? paying other customers the tab to provide the revenue to do this? when the affordable care act was passed, it was anticipated 100% of the states would expand medicaid. it was altered by the supreme court decision that made medicaid expansion a voluntary expansion for states. we have 30 governors republican and democratic who have declared their interest in moving ahead with medicaid expansion. that expansion of 100% of the states was paid for in the affordable care act. it is heart of the law that was passed in 2010. unlike medicare part d that was not paid for when congress passed it. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i am convinced that the fundamentals are sound. i

eople like paul and victoria mo morrisons of panama city. day they care for infants and toddlers with catastrophic injuries like blindness, autism and other developmental delays. mr. southerland: they deliver cancer treatments and medications. paul and victoria each received this letter from blue -- from florida blue informing them that their coverage was being canceled by the end of this year. their plans failed to meet the law's requirements for maternity and newborn care and pediatric dental care despite the fact that the morrisons are in their 60's and have no children. they were informed their new plans would increase their mbined premiums from $520 to $1,260 per month. now, paul and victoria are trying to figure out how to keep alive a medical practice that's already been reduced from a 10-county area to just one. that's a real-world impact and a real-world example on this misguided law and that's why if you like your plan and you were promised that you could keep your plan, you should be able to keep your plan. with that i yield back.
