good morning, everyone. i'm tamron hall. this is "newsnation." we're awaiting the white house press briefing. we're expecting new reaction to several major stories we're following for you this hour. including the ongoing conflict between israel and hamas. and the downing of malaysian airlines flight 17. but first, we have some breaking news regarding the affordable care act, which has been dealt a potentially major blow by the federal appeals court. pete williams has been following this. what are the details here? >> here is the issue. the obamacare law says that if you can't get insurance through your employer, you can buy it on state exchanges. but only 14 states have actually set up those exchanges. the majority of people who get their insurance, healthcare.gov are getting it through the federal exchange. when congress passed the obama administration, the affordable care act it said if you buy your insurance under the state exchange, you can basically get

a federal subsidize to make it more affordable. it had two effects. one, it made insurance more affordable for more people, and secondly, it required more people to buy insurance because they could afford it. what the court said today is that although the irs said the sub i dids are available in the state and federal exchanges, the law doesn't allow the irs to do that. the court said the sub i did is not available in the federal exchanges. if the ruling survives appeal. it would mean that fewer people could afford to buy insurance, the kind of insurance the law wants them to buy, and fewer people would have to buy it. and not only that, fewer employers would have to pay a penalty for not giving their employees insurance. so those are -- that's what is at stake here. it's the sub keys that make it more affordable for the majority of people who got it.

the court of appeals held off the effect the ruling for at least a week. it sent the case back to the lower court with instructions to basically deep six the irs regulation. undoubtedly, the obama administration will appeal. they'll probably ask for an immediate stay so they can pursue an appeal either to the full court of appeals or the u.s. supreme court. but this would be -- if this ruling survives, it would be an enormous blow to the obamacare law and make it harder for many people to get insurance with the state or the federal exchanges and what also require fewer people to get insurance who don't want to buy it. >> thank you for the details. we're awaiting the white house press briefing. we're likely to hear new reaction from the obama administration regarding that breaking news. also, new developments out of ukraine. again, we're expecting to hear more from the white house. this morning, a train carrying the bodies of most of the nearly 300 people finally lived in safer part of ukraine. their remains are being flown

back to the netherlands, which announced it's taking the lead role in the investigation of the crash. dutch experts will begin the process of identifying the victims. something that could bring a small semblance of closure to the families, as you well know, desperately wanting to receive their loved ones remain so they may rest in peace. >> can i have small piece, a sock or a t-shirt or a ring? she wanted to go start her life. and it's gone. >> today malaysian airlines investigators were allowed into the crash site for the first time since the plane was shot down five days ago. in a bizarre ceremony pro-russian rebels finally handed over the black boxes amid mounting world pressure. katie joins us from amsterdam. i got the information in from delta airlines and the

information is out of abundance of caution, delta is not rerouting flights through ukraine air space and monitoring the situation involving malaysian airlines flight 17. delta is not routing flights through ukraine air space. it is monitoring the situation involving it said malaysian airlines. this coming in from delta airlines. but katie, to the family members who are awaiting the remains of their families, you hear the father of that beautiful young woman who said everything he had in this world was her. he doesn't have that closure. >> essentially that. he's a father without a daughter. he was pleading with the ukrainian government, with president putin, with the separatists to get something of her back. the fact it took so long and the fact the bodies are only now sort of on the way back to the netherlands, he thought was outrageo outrageous. you can see it in his face. in some way, the act of fighting

for her body back for a sock, a ring was keeping him together. he said when we were speaking with him he was fine. he wasn't going to cry. the moment we left, though, that's when he felt like he was going to break down. so now that the bodies on the way back. they could back as early as tonight probably tomorrow. they'll begin the process of identifying. it could take days, weeks, months. once a lot of these families get the bodies back, you have to worry about what their state of mind will be. they begin the process of funerals. and the reality sets in. once people stop asking for interviews. once you stop fighting for something, that's when it starts to hit. i think that's what chanhans, y just saw, is a little bit concerned about. what is going on in the netherlands right now, detectives visited all the families. they've tried to make a profile of the victims finding out fingerprints with if they can get them. finding out pictures to identify jaw lines. asking if they have any tattoos

or identifying features. they've taken dna. all to help identify remains. it's unclear what the state of the remains are. some will be more easily identifiable. others will take some time. hans isn't quite sure when he's going it hear about his daughter. it could be as early as tomorrow. they could take those bodies off the train or the plane and easily identify some of them. but he's bracing himself for the long haul it could take weeks, it could take months. as you know, memorials have been going on without bodies. there's been no funerals. closure on this is still not here. it's certainly making it so hard for a lot of the people in the netherlands. this nation is in mourning. they had the most passengers on this plane with, it's going to quite awhile to wrap their heads around such devastation. if the bodies need to go to malaysian or australia, once they're identified here they get flown there. it's going to be a lengthy

process. thank you very much. that delta statement was from friday not today and we are still awaiting the white house press briefing. we could learn more about, if any, actions the administration is planning to take in the wake of the malaysian air tragedy. i want to bring in phil ewing. let me start with you gayle. british prime minister said that he's racing the prospect of further sanctions against russia. we are, again, awaiting new word from the white house here. the moment of action what are the realistic things we can expect here in the next, i would

say 24 to 48 hours? >> well, i think that is the excellent question. it's the question of the day. secretary kerry spoke about the moment of truth. you're talking about the moment of action. and the truth is that all the moments are hitting the hours of cold political reality that the european union does not have this kind of flip a switch sanctions ability that the united states has. nor is it clear it has the political will. france is about to deliver a warship to russia is part of a $1.2 contract. germany gets a third of the oil and gas supplies and has about 300,000 jobs tied to the russian economy. every one of the european economies is struggling in the wake of the financial crisis and the global recession. so i think that all of this world outrage actually doesn't cost anything. what costs something is to decide to impose very heavy sanctions. it's not yet clear the european union will do that. >> to that point, phil, let me

bring you in. david cameron getting tougher and pushing the european union in their meeting to brussels to support tougher sanctions. he invoked nazi germany here. there's a great amount of focus on the president here, but many believe rightfully so david cameron is challenging the allies, european union that it needs to have a stronger voice and lead here as well. >> yeah. that's right. and this is kind of a political stretch for him political at home. his government and his predecessors tried to be friendly to russia in the past. there's a lot of russian capital in london. there's a lot of russian billionaires who are spending money in london. with ten british citizens among the dead here and a lot of outrage around the world, he feels like it's worth to put it the screws to put tin as much as he can and pressure his european colleagues to move forward. there's another report out of london this morning the british

government will begin an inquiry into the death of a former kgb officer who died a few years ago of poisoning. there's a lot of fingers in the case pointing toward the former kgb and pointing to putin. it's a clear message from the british government they're going to increase that pressure themselves as much as they can. as you mentioned, cameron is urging the european colleagues to dot same as much as they can to present a united front against putin and the ukraine crisis. >> gayle, i thought it was intriguing one of the reports this morning regarding the coverage in russia, if fair to call it that, and the speculation being reported from that the ukrainian government shot down the flight in an attempt assassinate putin. things that have been seen as an outlandish to cover here. the common question you hear from people there has to be a thorough investigation. but all conventional wisdom and

reasonable minds believe they know what happened here. if the united states does provide the solid evidence, it's believed to have recovered through the intelligence, that this should move forward here >>well, i mean, i think there's is no shortage of outlandish theories on russian media. once you start putting out the theories, they have to get more and more outlandish and more and more incredible, i think, to top the last one you did. and really we're seeing a test of whether the world will be serious. german media today had a headline that said this is a moment where we see who is serious about carrying thrown the threats and warnings. putin or the west. and i don't think we have an answer to that. the world has done a lot of expressing of outrage and not much in terms of action and real condemnation. >> and, phil, and a i long the lines of what gayle was saying. who can be taken seriously at this point. senator lindsey graham getting push back for comments he made.

president obama hasn't called putin out for being a thug or whatever he is of being. the words are not sticking. ic it's the international concern and the severity of what happened here has ellipsed this back and forth sniping politics we've seen jump from crisis to crisis. i could be wrong. it seems that way. >> i think you're right. and i think the challenge here is there are many other world leaders who have taken much softer positions as we were describing than president obama and prime minister cameron in the u.k. and now the dutch leaders are kind of getting involved with this because clearly they have the most victims on this airliner after the tragedy, and so the politics inside of washington is a little bit less dangerous for the president. in fact, our newspaper politico had a poll we found many americans we talk to oppose mid kind of serious military involvement in the ukraine. that's never really been on the

table. i think it expresses a sentiment by a lot of americans it's a foreign crisis that the united states can clearly play a role, but it doesn't need to play a strong military role. the big questions here are what can the u.s. do on its own to further isolate moscow and putin. because there doesn't seem to be an international consensus or european consensus that the community of nations can work together to do that. that will be up to the president, you know, in the coming days and weeks here. >> thank you. to the other major story we're following. secretary of state john kerry in cairo trying to help broke aeroceasefire that deadly conflict between israel and hamas. kerry met with egypt's new president and other officials. the meeting comes as fighting ran rages on. israel launching intense new attacks including one on the apartment building. 15 palestinians have been killed today. that brings the total number of those killed in gaza, since the israeli offensive started two weeks ago, to more than 600

mostly civilians, many of them children. 29 israelis have been killed 27 soldiers and two civilians. israel said one soldier is missing. in the past few hours, israel released new video that supports the claim that hamas is using gaza residents as human shields. the video allegedly shows hamas firing from homes as israeli troops. another video today alleges showing hamas rockets and launchers hidden near a school. hamas issued a statement to nbc late yesterday saying in part gaza is filled with international journalists. every single news network has presence there. not one has reported seeing any rockets or weapons or any fighters around any of the dozen hospitals, schools or mosques. martin fletcher joins us live from tel aviv. you have secretary kerry in cairo. this deal he's trying to broker is the same deal rejected by hamas before and the deal that

israel said it's willing, at least it was willing to accept. >> that's right, tamron. by the way, that's why israeli military officials are saying things like the ceasefire will not take hold. we have to continue fighting to intensify it. the deal that is being negotiated often by egypt, as you say, is tlar similar to the one hamas rejected. the conditions haven't changed. israel said it doesn't see a ceasefire because hamas will not accept that deal. it's not looking good. at least there is some movement. so kerry in cairo, they are talking to leaders trying to get some form of ceasefire going. what they're talking about in the short term is what they're calling a humanitarian ceasefire. they're hoping to negotiate a 48-hour lull in the fighting and build from that. it doesn't look like much success at the moment. fighting is intensifying, and

the elephant in the room is that hamas captured israeli soldier. israel confirmed that they're missing one soldier. they believe, however, they call it missing or presumed dead. they haven't finished the identification process is the phrase they used. if this is a soldier capture it would be a nightmare for israel. the israelis are moving slowly house to house. they're doing the same thing in the south trying to break up hamas and islamic jihad, don't forget them. concentrations of troops in north of gaza and south of gaza. the key target of israel, the secret tunnels. a network of tunnels that hamas built to lead from gaza to israel. they're a significant threat to israel's home threat. israel found one exit of the secret tunnel on the steps of

the dining room inside israel. that's a threat these tunnels pose. >> okay. and also, martin, i should note delta airlines has cancelled all flights into israel after they had a flight diverted to france because of rockets near the airport. this just in. delta airlines cancelling all flights into israel after they had a flight diverted to france because of rocket attacks there, martin. >> that's news to me. another airline was a korean airline has done the stop flights here. we can keep airports safe, don't worry. the fact is rockets are flying all the time. there's a sitting threat. so far nothing has happened. nothing has fallen near the airport. israel desperate to keep the airport going. >> thank you very much. nbc news producer is live on the phone from gaza. paul, are you there? >> i'm here. as you may well know at this point. there's been video released from

israel reportedly showing hamas using gaza residents as human shields. something they denied in a statement released to nbc yesterday. israel obviously attempting to show this picture of hamas taking advantage of the people and perhaps even explain the high level of casualties that occurred including 19 or so today >>well, tamron, what i've said about this -- but the reality r is -- each individual strike ends up collapsing in one building and damaging a whole neighborhood.

we're finding they're -- and along with it. and by no means is every case one where it has been used. hamas denies categorically they used human shields, and this is something that the journalists claim. it's been happening and hard to explain why the level of casualties is as high as it is. as of right now we stand at 620. over 3700 in injury. >> this latest included an apartment complex. ab apartment building at least 15 people were killed in that incident. if those numbers are correct. our colleague reported, you know -- i have to interrupt you. let's go to the white house briefing. we may getting new details what is happening in the middle east as well as the crisis in

ukraine. >> reporter: is there any white house reaction to the federal court rules that invalidates the health care subsidizes for states that hasn't set up the exchanges? >> i know there, will be a statement coming from the department of justice. they are representing the position of the united states government and the administration for the d.c. circuit. so i would refer you that statement. i have a couple of thoughts you won't be surprised to hear. the first is, it's important for people across the country to understand that this ruling does not have any practical impact on their ability to continue to receive tax credits right now. right now there are millions of americans across the country who are receiving tax credits from the federal government as a result of the affordable care act that is making health care more affordable for them. while the ruling is interesting to legal they are resists it has no practical impact on the tax credits right now. the second is, there are four different cases of making this point that are working their way

through the federal court system. two of them have been dismissed at the district court level, two are awaiting their initial rulings. this, of course, is the appeal of one of those cases. so there is decidedly mixed legal opinion about this. but for those keeping score, we're still ahead 2-1 here. what i anticipate the department of justice will do is they will ask for a ruling from the full d.c. circuit. as you know, this was a decision that was issued just by three members of the d.c. circuit. two of whom ruled against the federal government and won agreed with the government's position. now, it's important there are people understand that some of the district courts that have thrown out the case have been decided by judges who use some pretty strong rhetoric in doing so. there's a judge in this case, at the district level, who said there's no evidence in the statute itself or in the legislative history of any intent by congress to support the claims that are made by the

plaintiff. in another case that was making the same legal argument, a judge wrote that the theory propounded by the plaintiffs was, quote, not a viable theory. the last thing that is important, and this is -- there's a lot of high-minded case law that is applied here. there's an element of common sense that should be applied as well. you don't need a fancy legal degree to understand that congress intended for every eligible american to have access to tax credits that would lower their health care costs regardless of whether it was state officials or federal officials who are running the marketplace. i think that's a pretty clear intent of the congressional law. this will work the way through the legal process, and we're confident in the legal case that the department of justice will be making. >> obviously, the cases work through the legal system. there could end being a practical impact on people who are receiving subsidizes. can the health care law work effectively and continue to, as you say, be affordable for americans without the subsidizes

being available? >> we are confident in the legal position we have. >> that the legal position no longer be con stenble. can the law work if these are not widely available? >> that is a hypothetical we may be able to entertain at some point. right now we're confident in the legal basis that supports our case. the department of justice will litigate these claims through the federal court system, and again, our confidence is rooted in the fact that it is pretty obvious what the congressional intent was here. their intent was for every eligible american who applied for tax credits to make their health care more affordable, to have access to those tax credits. regardless of whether state officials or federal officials who run mashttle plarketplace. >> can you give us context on the president's decision to send dennis mcdonough and lisa monaco to germany today? >> you've seen the statement

that has been put out, both i think the statement originated in germany where the chief of staff and miss monaco currently are. this meeting was the result of a telephone conversation between the president and chancellor merkel in the last week or so. they agreed that mr. mcdonough and miss monaco, who are the president's chief of staff and his top homeland security adviser, respectively, they would travel to germany to meet with their counter parts to talk through some of the issues that have been covered in the media. it was an opportunity for them to meet and discuss in the course of intensive talks the state of bilateral relations and future cooperation. there are full range of issues that were discussed including intelligence and security cooperation. mr. mcdonough and his counter part agreed to set up a structured dialogue to address concerns of both sides in and establish guiding principles as the basis for continued and future cooperation. >> mcdonough and monaco bring

with them any specific information or answers for the germans on the two allegations of two u.s. spies in germany? >> i'm not getting into the substance of the talks. i'll describe them as productive and a useful trip. as we've said a couple of times as it relates to the reports, it's the view of the united states that differences of opinion or differences of perspective on these kinds of matters are best resolved through established, diplomatic and intelligence channels. that's what we're doing. okay. steve? >> what does that mean? structured dialogue? what does it mean? >> i think simply the basis of future discussions on these kinds of issues. and again, it is our view that these kinds of differences are best resolve ed through the private established channels and not litigated through the media. >> president putin is saying russia will use the influence to

allow information into the downed jet. are you detektding a change? >> there was some some news from that region that we welcomed for a change. we welcomed the news that most of the remains of those who perished in the malaysian airlines flight 17 as well as the black boxes are the in hands of dutch and malaysian authorities. while that is one step in the right direction, and international investigators leads by the dutch still need immediate and full access to the site. as you point out, russia did say today it will use the influence over the separatists to gets them to fully cooperate, and we intend to hold the russians to that. >> investigators still don't have access though? >> they don't have -- >> are they using intimidation tactics and firing in the air? >> i think we've seen conditions on the ground improve, and that's illustrated by the fact we made progress on a couple of those two matters i addressed at the top. i don't think we've seen yet the level of cooperation with international investigators we would like to see to this point.

this is a complicated issue, and one we anticipate we -- well, we anticipate it's going to require some work to get the kind of cooperation that we would like to see. but time is of the essence here. and as the president said yesterday, it is the least those separatists could do to cooperate with international investigators given the access they need to that site they can conduct a transparent investigation and determine what exactly happened. >> anything new on the evidence in the plane crash investigation? i know yet some senior administration officials were telling reporters on background that the black boxes were not perhaps as important as the wreckage itself, and there are reports about burn marks on the pieces of wreck act at the crash site. is there a promising new sign? >> there has been a lot of

evidence that has been presented. that paints a pretty compelling picture. if you'll indulge me for a little bit. i want to review it. we've been saying for months, and, you know, in some settings, the russians have acknowledged they're actively supporting the rebels, the separatists, in eastern ukraine. in facts, some of the separatists leaders of russian citizenship. we've seen reports of heavy weapons moving across the russian border into ukraine. it was the reason for the sanctions regime that the administration announced last week was the continued evidence of the heavy weapons moving from russia into ukraine. we've seen evidence that russians are training separatists on how to use the weapons. the weapons include anti-aircraft weapons. in fact, the separatists have bragged in the last several weeks of shooting down three different aircraft. and there are -- there's ample social media evidence to indicate the separatists have

access to the kind of sa 11 missile system that is capable of reaching aircraft that are flying at high altitudes. the other thing that we know, it's that the malaysian airlines flight 17 was downed by a missile that was fired from the ground. that missile was fired from a separatist-controlled area. and at the time, the ukrainian military was not operating anti-aircraft weapons in that area at that time. after the plane was downed, there were ample social media accounts to indicate that an sa 11 system that appeared to be missing one missile was being transported across the border from ukraine to russia. there were social media accounts of separatists talking about shootings down an airplane. there's a lot of evidence that has been marshalled.

>> is it a circumstantial case at this point? >> will be a role for more formal intelligence. >> we're getting new details regarding some of the things that the president has planned today, and new information, perhaps, moving forward the investigation into what happened to the malaysian air flight 17. we know the president has left the white house to visit the embassy of the netherlands in washington, d.c., to sign a condolence honoring those who lost their life. it's information we got from the briefing. and also, these were the words uttered regarding the investigation into exactly what happened. there was a compelling picture that has been painted by the laundry list of things you heard details that the united states uncovered in piecing together what happened to the flight. let me bring in nbc news mark murray. we're carrying a lot of information here including delta airlines cancel the all flights into israel. there's a three-prong for lack

of a better discrepancieescript breaking news situation. let's talk about the white house saying that the federal appeals court reacting to the appeals course decision that the justice department said the obama administration intends to fight the ruling that could be a major blow for the affordable health care. >> tamron, it could be a big blow to the health care law if the ruling ends up standing but democrats and other advocates of the health care law are pointing out it's likely going to be appealed to the larger d.c. circuit. and there is a democratic majority now given the recent appointments that after those harry reid-led changes in the filibuster there are more democratic appointed justices to the full d.c. circuit than on the 2-1 decision in which two conservatives prevailed over a democrat. a lot of people are saying the final score isn't here. does it go to the supreme court? there's a bad news today for the administration and the health care law they think they'll have better news when the full

circuit hears the case. >> in fairness, since it's breaking news. you should take a step back and explain exactly what the appeals court decision means a the heart of this case. it's a small group of business owners who argue that the law authorizing subsidizes only for people who buy insurance on exchange established by the state that in fact it would eventually cause higher premiums. it all goes downtown states and the exchanges versus the federal ones. want paragra the paragraph the only that got subsidizes were those that set upper that own exchanges virginia or texas you wouldn't get this. the defendants and the administration said it was never the intent of the legislation at all. every reporter, every person following it realized the sun

cities would benefit everyone whether in a federal or state base exchange. but certainly that's the crux of this opinion today. >> and just quickly here. the situation out of israel secretary kerry in cairo trying to push forward this deal that was rejected from hamas. and this as overnight and early morning even more fighting some 19 deaths reported in gaza alone. >> it's a tragedy. we've seen this type of violence play out in the middle east between israel and hamas over the last few years. this is the worst it's been. and it certainly has brought condemnation against israeli, against hamas, and then, of course, as you mentioned earlier delta airlines said it's not going to have the planes nearby. it's another unstable part of the world right now. not only, you know, we're talking about situation in iraq or certainly talking about in the middle east and eastern ukraine. thank you for coming on. there's a lot going on and a lot

of things to cover. we appreciate you jumping in for us. we'll be right back. they think . but the energy bp produces up here they think . creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america. the summer of this.mmer. the summer that summers from here on will be compared to. where memories will be forged into the sand. and then hung on a wall for years to come. get out there, with over 50,000 hotels at $150 dollars or less. expedia. find yours.

the we're following developing news major airlines are cancelling flight into tel-aviv. tom costello joins us live. we got information it was delta who decided can't flights into israel. >> delta airlines flight was a boeing 747 flying to israel when this rocket or rockets hit an area adjacent to the airport in israel. as a result, delta has i ddiver that flight on to paris. they will work to accommodate all 290 people on board. other airlines are following suit. u.s. airways is involved in the merger with american airlines us is spendsing flights from israel at this hour. we expect american airlines to make a similar announcement they're reassessing. safe to say all u.s. airlines

will be reassessing in coordination with israeli authorities and the faa how and when they decide they're going to resume flights into israel. i would expect other ails will follow suit. the german carrier said no chajs changes. but u.s. airlines making the decision it's probably best to steer clear as rockets become close to the airport there in tel-aviv. >> the white house said the faa hasn't issued any notices. it's as you pointed out individual basis base order what the carriers decide. >> the notice to airmen procedure can take a little time, i mean, it can happen within, you know, 20 minutes to an hour or even longer. days in some cases, but clearly when you have rockets falling near the airport, the airlines can make the immediate decision to divert and suspend flights should they decide to do so. just incidentallily, this is important, the people who close air space, or who govern air

space are that individual country. in other words israel, and then individual airlines can make their decision they're not going to fly to that country because of a problem. or their home countries can order them not to fly into a country because of a problem. so obviously that was the situation in parts of ukraine. you can imagine the discussions are underway as it relates to israel. >> thank you very much, tom, for the latest information. we're following developing news out of washington state. firefighters and the national guard are battling the larger wild fire in that state's history. it destroyed more than 150 homes and burned nearly 400 area miles. over the weekend, a 67-year-old man died while trying to save his home from the blaze. officials hope cooler weather and calmer winds today will help push back the flames. we are in alta lake, washington with the latest. >> and right here we have the

first big break in a week of relentless fire conditions. it started to drizzle in the last hour or so. of course, it's huge news for the fire fight here. it's the largest wild fire ever to burn in washington state. now about 400 square miles. it started last monday. there were initially four fires, they merged into one massive fire called the cakarlton compl. thousands are told they won't have power or water for at least a month. those 150 homes plus burned to the ground. as you said over the weekend, a man trying to save his home died in that fire fight. resources are stretched very thin here. you have, of course, the u.s. forest service and then from washington, but then all over the west you have fire fighting crews, incident commander crews coming up to help. and this morning we have a

drizzle come down. there's even more rain in the forecast for tomorrow. there's one concern about this, is that the rain is also going to be accompanied by thunderstorms. they're worried about more lightning and with this massive burn area they're worried about possible landslides, flash flooding, mud coming down from the hills, and into the homes that did survive. tamron? >> jason, thank you very much. and a new york family is preparing for their loved ones funeral after he died during an arrest. nypd officers put him in a choke hold after he said he couldn't breathe. this morning more first responders have been punished. details next. time for the your business entrepreneur of the week. ron morrisson and ken jones got a $500 loan from ken's parents and started the clothing and
