nd looks like live stream my interview as part of msnbc "7 days of genius" festival. "the ed show" is coming up next. good evening americans, and welcome to "the ed show," live from new york. let's get to work. >> health care under attack. >> stand up, fight back. >> tonight obamacare hangs in the scales of justice. >> we aren't asking for a handout. just a fair chance. and just in the justice report on ferguson. >> some of those protesters were right. >> united we stand. divided we fall. later, retraction demands. >> the whole premise of it has fallen apart that hillary clinton violated the law here. >> the clintons have a separate set of rules.

plus mental gymnastices. >> you taught me to navigate people's minds. >> i've been fascinated with the nature of consciousness. >> we talk to this guest about some of the amazing feats of mind control. good to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. big day at the supreme court. the court heard its third case against the affordable care act. there's a few words in obamacare that make it illegal for the government to issue subsidies. it is quote, an exchange established by the state. if the court rules against obamacare, we're talking about enrollees in 34 states losing their health care, losing their subsidies. we're talking about 7.5 million americans in danger of losing their health care.

the decision would only effect low-income americans. the court's ruling is expected to come out in late june or early july. this is the latest conservative attempt to tarnish president obama's signature legislation. tea party activists, they're out there. >> it's important you're here to protect those people that don't know how bad the government controlling their health care can be. >> that's all that needs to be asked inside these chambers. does the wish of the president trump the will of the people? if that's the case then we have an emperor, not a president. >> there's no example on the face of the earth where government-run health care is going to be delivered at a lower cost and is going to save you money and yield better outcomes.

>> chief justice john roberts did not ask a question today during the hearing but in 2005 he did say this. >> i will decide every case based on the record according to the rule of law without fear of favor to the best of my ability. i'll remember it is my job to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat. >> if he is just calling balls and strikes, we're right down to this. is it constitutional for the federal government to hand out subsidies to americans so they can get some health care? that's where we are. but i think the big mission here is this -- set the table so this country never has universal health care. and i bet 90% of the american people out there don't get exactly what's being wrangled in front of the supreme court, but there are 7.5 million americans out there wondering tonight i did this obamacare thing and it

has worked. now they're going to take it away from me? do you trust justice john roberts to call balls and strikes? text "a" for yes. text "b" for no. we'll bring you the results later tonight. we bring in congressman dean mcdermott. what did the supreme court say today and how do you think things went? >> well i went in pretty optimistic because i have never seen this case as one that had any real legitimacy. the question of the judges was probative. they were poking at both the plaintiff and the defense by the government. but basically it was clear that they were not convinced that this was a legitimate attack on

obamacare. >> so you came away with the sense that these 7.5 million americans don't have anything to worry about. >> you can never quite say that ed. i'm not a lawyer but from being a doctor and a psychiatrist and watching people for a long time i would say that the vote is going to be there, 5-4 or 6-3. i think it will be in favor of obamacare being continued. the idea that john roberts would want his legacy to be "i threw 7 million people out of health care" is not the kind of thing that makes good sense. you think about that and i think he would find a way to work pretty hard to make this work. >> there's no plan b. the republicans to this day have nothing to replace it with if that ruling came down tonight. >> right. they talk about the cobra plan. cobra works if you lose your

job. you can buy your own insurance for 18 months at the full cost. well, most of the people -- these 7 million people are people that already have subsidies. they won't be able to pay full cost. >> i tell you what the country is not paying attention to and that is these folks who are close to retirement who are kind of working part-time jobs or two jobs from the ages of 58 to 64. they're on obamacare. they're low income and they're being heplped by this until they go to the next government opportunity, which is medicare. that is where a lot of people are affected. it is an attack on the elderly in a sense, as i see it. the mind-set of the republicans is it going to be the will of the president or the will of the people? excuse me, barack obama was

elected twice. we passed the vote. if they don't have plan b, do you think this court ruling would set the table to make it hard for america to get universal health care someday? >> no i think if this court case comes down we'll move directly to a single payor system. we'll move in that direction because the american people recognize that in every other industrialized country in the world they have health insurance. if the republicans succeed in dragging it down there will be a push from the people who brought medicare to us once before. you'll see the same thing happen for everybody here. >> good to have you with us. appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> let me bring in a professor at health and science center and my other guests. terry, you first. women would really be effected

if this were to rule against obamacare. if the supreme court went that way. a lot of women would be effected correct? >> absolutely ed. that's because women cluster. they are very overrepresented in low-income and low wage work. 9 million women nationwide are eligible for obamacare. 7 million of these 9 million live in the 34 states that are now at risk because of this supreme court case. and fully half of those 7 million are women of color. this is a real attack on the financial well being, on the economic security, of those families. >> mr. potter, where's the insurance industry on this? they could lose a bunch of customers. >> they could. they filed an amicus brief that is very telling.

justice soed meyer made reference to comments made in that brief. if the justices go and side with the challengers here the plaintiffs it would set in motion a death spiral in those states that would be effected, and that's 2/3 of the country. the insurance market in the private individual market would absolutely collapse. it would not just be the 7 million people who are newly insured, but everybody who has insurance in those states. >> the president of the united states made it the focal point of his campaign both times. louisiana is a state at risk. what would this mean for low-income patients in your state? >> well this actually would eviscerate obamacare as we know it in the country, let alone just louisiana. we know that so many millions of

patients have gotten care for the first time in 10 to 15 years. they have actually gotten health care. we know if this comes down to a tie vote and john roberts has to break the tie and he sides with those plaintiffs, it would be egregious. partisanship will have played a huge part in denying health care to america. if that's the case it is going to hurt the people who love america the most which is the working man and that is unacceptable. >> mr. potter these states could fix the problem by setting up their own exchange but that would take a tremendous amount of resource and political will wouldn't it? >> it would and it would take some time too. it took some time for the federal government to build the system in the first place and the states who are operating their own exchanges to get up and running. you would have to have the political will to do that.

i'm not sure that in these red states that could be done in any short order. >> terry, is this the birth of activism? we have seen a full throated attempt to get rid of obamacare from day one, and the akctivism that has gone on here i have a feeling it would reach a fever pitch if the supreme court were to go down this road. >> i do. in fact, i think one of the casualties of the wrong decision by the supreme court will be the integrity and the legitimate si of the court itself. i think people will rise up. there are millions of people who now have health insurance who didn't and they have it because of obamacare who will lose it if they don't have those subsidies in those 34 states. there will be an uprising. i think the supreme court really needs to understand that when it steps out in front of the will of the american people -- and the reality is people like the

affordable care act. it's working. it's working for them. when the supreme court yanks it away, i think there will be very severe consequences. >> it will throw people further down the economic ladder. there's no question about that. of course, the numbers would be reversed because the numbers are clearly undeniable. doctor what would be a solution if they do rule against obamacare? where do we go from here? what if they say no subsidies, it's unconstitutional? >> they have already said that they have no plan b. the only thing that we could do is reverse the entire trend and start the downward spiral of health care in america. i mean i will be the leader in marching in the streets if this were to occur because what i have seen in my practice and i have takelked to doctors all across the united states is we have decreased the uninsured.

we have decided that the poor people matter. if we say they don't matter that is unacceptable once again. >> mr. potter what's the next move if they do strike it down? >> i think there would be a lot of support in looking at what would happen with a single payor system. this would be chaotic throughout the country. i think it would be unleashing a movement then. i think it is correct that a lot more people like this law. i think the republicans are deluding themselves into thinking this is not as popular as it is. >> and the cases that are being brought before the supreme court that are arguing this are lame. i don't know how else to put it. they're the most extreme, the most obscure cases. you can make this stuff up if you're a conserveative and you don't like obamacare. great to have you with us tonight. i appreciate it. answer the question there at the bottom of the screen.

we used to have so many empty rolls! mom! that's why we switched to charmin

ultra mega roll. charmin ultra mega roll is 75% more absorbent so you can use less with every go. plus it even lasts longer than the leading thousand sheet brand. charmin ultra mega roll. and we are back. thanks for watching tonight. earlier today the justice department announced it will not pursue federal civil rights charges against ferguson police officer darren wilson. in november, a grand jury chose not to indict wilson. it doesn't mean the ferguson police department is off the hook. in a second separate report the department of justice concluded the ferguson police department routinely engages in racially

biassed practices. between 2012 and 2014 the doj found racial bias against african-americans in court cases, traffic stops, and use of force including dog bites. african-americans accounted for 93% of people arrested. it's important to note african-americans make up just 67% of the ferguson population. here's how attorney general eric holder summed it up. >> our investigation showed that ferguson police officers routinely violate the fourth amendment in stopping people without reasonable suspicion. arresting them without probable cause, and using unreasonable force against them. >> moments ago the prosecuting attorney for st. louis county had this to say about the doj's report. >> i don't feel the need to feel

vindicated by anything. everything in that report was available to them and to us on november 24th so it took them this time, i assume, to prepare the report to have that finished, but there isn't any new information. there isn't any information that we didn't know about. yes, we took a lot of criticism from a lot of people. it was unwarranted criticism. i have a job to do. my people have a job to do. we did that job. if there's some criticism that comes with it it does. >> joining me now a congressman of missouri and mark eric dyson, a professor at georgetown university. they know how the hell they operate their department and they weren't going to do anything about it. your reaction? >> i think it is tragic and thing people around this country need to read the report. the more people who read it the

more people will realize we still have a lingering problem on the basis of skin color. think about this. there are e-mails that were found that refer to the president of the united states as a chimpanzee. there was another e-mail dealing -- suggesting that michelle obama was in some kind of tribal dance. there's another e-mail that talked about black people and welfare. >> why do those people still have a job? i don't know if they do but -- >> look one of the great corporations of our country, ge for example, had a ceo who presided over the company when a report that was devastating came out talking about how horrible it was. i can tell you the stokeckholders and the board would get rid of them quickly and i think something needs to take place in ferguson.

>> it all starts with the stop doesn't it dr. dyson? it starts with the stop on the street. do you mean to tell me they didn't know these numbers? >> of course they did. and the problem is it is systemic. it does begin with the stop, but it doesn't stop there. it is reflected in the very nature of the system itself. if you've got people sending e-mails back and forth in the police department of ferguson referring to the president as a chimpanzee saying that he won't keep his job for four years because no black man does talking about michelle obama in a tribal dance as a kind of reunion, then you have racial bias. it is public funding at the expense of the poorest residents in that community. they were stopping black people and making them go to court and pay outrageous fines. as a result of that you had an

economic and systemic effort going on and that double whammy is horrible. look at the woman who had to resign from sony after e-mails were leaked and they weren't even directly attributable to all the people at the top, but she had to go as a result of that. i think the congressman is absolutely right. >> congressman, how do you fix this? >> first of all, i think the state of missouri is going to have to perhaps step in. but before we get to that i think the ferguson mayor and city council and police chief and department most sign a decree. they need to say we're guilty and tell us what we need to do for correcting the problems. if they don't sign the consent decree, they're going to be taken to court and it is going to be one of the most shameful court sessions in the history of the country because all of the

dirty linen of that police department and the public will be brought out. they have a debtors' prison in ferguson because if you can't pay those unfair fines for being stopped, you end up going to jail when they stop you and you have warrants out for your arrest. that's debtors' prison. >> we all know the actions of the governor of missouri throughout this entire ordeal. do you think, congressman, he'll be cooperative at this point and be progressive and move forward for change? >> i think the governor will. i think he may have made some missteps early on but i believe that this report -- he's a former attorney general for the state. when this report crosses his desk, i think he's going to realize he's going to have to use the power of his office. i think jay nixon will do that. >> dr. dyson, what do the people do with these numbers? with this report? >> i think jay nixon displays

the kind of indifference and genuine distancing from the problem that is part of the symptom here of what we've got to confront. what the people have to do is, number one, understand the department of justice had a much higher burden of proof to meet. he had much more evidence at hand to prove that they could at least go to trial to try darren wilson. number two, we've got to lower the burden of the department of justice. eric holder talked about this already. we have to find away when we can accuse people of hate crimes without meeting such a high burden. the people of ferguson have to vote to put in political representatives who represent the interest of the majority of people there and not a narrow sliver of bigoted people? >> do you think that'll happen?

>> i don't think it's going to stop now. >> it's not going to stop. >> gentlemen, great to have you with us tonight. appreciate your time on this. coming up new conspiracy theories about health careillary clinton's e-mails. they won't let it go. plus, a huge scientific breakthrough. a paralyzed woman flies a jet flight simulator with only her thoughts. a doctor joins us to talk about the science of mind control. stay tuned. huh, charmin ultra strong. you're cleaner than i thought. charmin ultra strong cleans so much better it meets even his highest standards of clean. with a soft duraclean texture, charmin ultra strong is 4 times stronger. and you can use up to 4x less. are you good to go hun? cleaner than ever. rotorooter approved. charmin is clog-free or it's free. major: here's our new trainer ensure active heart health. heart: i maximize good stuff

welcome back to "the ed show." we have breaking news. just moments ago a house committee issued subpoenas to the state department to dive deeper into the "new york times" article into hillary clinton's e-mails. >> we are going to send additional legal recourse to the state department but we're also going to need to send it to her because she's the keeper of the record. >> so subpoenas have been issued. clinton had her own computer server for official e-mails at her home in chappaqua, new york. founder of "media matters" said

he wants "the new york times" to issue a correction. >> the story is wrong. it is based on a false premise. the reporter is giving his opinion that hillary clinton broke the law, but they don't have any independent legal authority that we can see to make that case so i think the article was really sloppily done. >> he says it is all about benghazi. >> the real story is you have a dying benghazi investigation on capitol hill. >> conservatives are convinced of a coverup. some are suspicious of timing of the article. >> excuse me for being cynical, but it's very early. she hasn't announced yet. this is time to get it out. normally you would save it for the day she announced. >> let's go to my guests. what do you make of this? we got subpoenas.

where there's clintons there's subpoenas. your reaction? >> the pile on has started. this is about benghazi. everyone could read that "new york times" story knows this story was shopped to "the new york times" but the benghazi committee in the house. they have not found anything to attack hillary clinton as it relates to benghazi. >> does "the times" make a correction as brock has asked for? >> i don't think "the times" is going to make a correction. >> not if they're wrong. >> the day the story ran, he started going to other media outlets and tried to find a justification for his claim that she may have broken the law. his own source in that story backtracked later on that day and said the law at best is am

ambiguous or amorphous. you have the benghazi committee. they have had dead end after dead end after dead end. the fact is these private e-mails were public years ago. this might make an interesting story. this might be a kink in her armor. they pitched it and "the new york times" didn't do its due diligence. the truth here is that the republicans in the house have pledged -- they haven't pledged, but you know their whole effort around benghazi is to bring hillary clinton down. they have run out of ammunition. this was last bullet in the chamber. >> does this change her campaign strategy at all? >> we'll see. i think as they address these issues i think she'll need to be transparent. she'll get these questions.

>> should she come out and talk about it? she didn't talk about it last night when she was at emily's list convention. >> i don't think anyone would have expected her. this was the 30th year anniversary event for emily's list. if she runs for office she'll have to talk to the media and answer these questions. >> let's bring in e.j. dion and caroline heldman. all right. e.j., what do you make of the subpoenas? where does this take us? >> on the one hand it's very clear if the republicans could, they would keep the benghazi hearings open until about 2025. and they want to keep this story running and they have something kind of interesting here. what's interesting here? well, that she never used a

state department e-mail address that used to be common for secretaries of state. it's become less common sense. there's a question about the law. it does not appear that the relevant law actually took effect until after she was secretary of state, but there may be -- >> there's possible new information, don't you think? they're looking for the benghazi and a new smoking gun or something that has not been revealed. >> and my hope and my sense is to the extent of the e-mails they didn't get, she should just give them to them. with benghazi there hasn't been a smoking gun. nothing has really implicated her in any negative way. >> how does she handle it caroline? should she address this? if she does does it end it? her support for the campaign is not going to be in question.

i think loyal democrats and progressives are going to know what this is all about. >> i do think she should address it but putting it to bed. getting a third party that can look at our private e-mails and her professional e-mails on this account. she has to address it because it has become a scandal. there is no factual basis. she did not break the law. i'm glad we're having a national conversation about archiving materials at the highest level. >> why do you think she did it, professor? >> the only clue we have gotten is a staffer who gave an interview who said she was only allowed one e-mail on her secure blackberry. she put her professional and private together. i would love to her explanation, but that's a perfectly reasonable explanation to me.

>> the right wingers are saying she compromised national security. >> that's the one case she could be vulnerable if that's the case. if she took e-mail of a classified nature on an unclassified computer then that's something. a lot of stuff comes out ahead of the facts and indeed a lot of stuff that comes out has nothing to do with the facts. it is all speculation that quickly gets treated a fact. i think the national security question is a legitimate question and she should answer it. again, it has to be put to bed quickly. >> who is trey gowdy? he's this congressman from -- this is his grandstanding. he's the chairman of the select committee on benghazi and he has

made his perspective kriscrystal clear. >> there were people who made names for themselves in the bill clinton investigation. these guys want to keep it going. i think stonewalling a committee like this only plays into their hands, especially -- at least as far as i can tell -- there's not much to hide here. >> carolyn, you're in the ear of hillary clinton. you say she has to address it. tonight, tomorrow next week sunday shows? where? what platform? >> i would find an independent party first, one that is rep reputable. i think it should effect it period, but she needs to address it before she announces and we

expect her to announce in april. >> these are examples why she has delayed her official announcement for the election right? >> this has been a witch hunt election. the sexism is the only thing that will keep it interesting. >> appreciate your time tonight. thank you. coming up the science of mind control takes a huge leap forward. we'll tell you about amazing advancements changing the world as we know it. does this mean i could have quarterbacked the super bowl? we're right back. n actually see the softness in our comfort cushions. we all go. why not enjoy the go with charmin ultra soft? if a denture were to be put under a microscope we can see all the bacteria that still exists. polident's unique micro clean formula works in just 3 minutes, killing 99.99% of odor causing bacteria. for a cleaner, fresher brighter denture every day.

welcome back to "the ed show." all week msnbc is exploring "7 days of genius" looking at the people changing the world. this week the pentagon's advanced research division announced an amazing break through in the science of mind control. a 55-year-old quadrapeligic woman was able to fly a plane with only her thoughts. >> what does your telepathic mind tell you now? mind control isn't just science fiction. this doctor says it could become a reality. >> building a dream from your memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what is real and what is a dream? >> how would you know the

difference between the dream world and the real world? >> these aren't the droids you are looking for. >> these aren't the droids we're looking for. >> in the future he says interest abilities and memories could be implanted in our brains. >> i know kung fu. >> you raced your identity. >> acquire enough detail to make them think it's reality. >> the internet will be replaced by the brain net where you can convey messages rather than just text. >> they are going to be able to plug right into the old nug. >> mri scanners could track brain activity as well come computers could connect to our minds. >> what we're doing is creating a map of your brain. >> ladies and gentlemen, if you will, look right here. >> everything we think of that

makes up a person thoughts emotions, history, all wiped away. >> we could explore space like never before with mind control robots. >> so how long do you plan to stay on mars? >> two weeks. >> according to the doctor the future means new ways to use our brains. >> there is no spoon. >> there is no spoon? >> and the doctor is joining us live in the studio tonight. his book "the future of the mind" is out on paperback and he's selling out everywhere. congratulations. >> thank you. the politician the average person is getting wind of it. what's happening in the laboratory looks like science fiction. >> i bet there's people out there watching right now who are saying, come on really? what are the possibilities here? >> well telepat three, moving objects with the mind uploading

memories photographing a dream, these are things that we can actually do in the laboratory. in fact my colleague steven hawking, who is totally paralyzed, we hooked up his brain to a computer. he mentally communicates with a laptop commuter. in the future when you walk into the room you will mentally turn on the light, maybe even drive the car by remote control, all mentally. >> so an exploration of space, this would reduce the human risk, would it not? >> that's right. these are called surrogates. that is robot astronauts that go to the moon while you sit in your hot tub guiding it on the moon reducing the cost by a factor of ten because it's life support that costs so much money. >> how far away are we from this? >> well, in japan, they have hooked up workers to the robot so that by thinking you can

actually make the robot start to move. and in the classroom, we can actually get a surrogate that sits in your chair when you're sick with your tv picture there and you can see the teacher, the teacher can see you, you will never, ever miss a day of class because your robot surrogate is sitting in your chair with your picture -- i mean with your three-dimensional picture right there. >> so what is life on earth like a 30 years from today? it will be much more convenient because we'll mentally control things without having to use a mouse, without having to use a keyboard. already people who are totally paralyzed with spinal cord injury can have skeletons, operate their appliances surf the web, do e-mail write e-mail mentally. this has already been done in the laboratory. >> so i never have to vacuum right? you just think that stuff in? >> and the soccer games this

summer, remember the guy who kicked the soccer ball starting the games, he was totally paralyzed. he's a quad pa leej jik. at duke university, they put a chip in his brain and then connected it to an escoskeletan. >> if you physically do it yourself obviously there's a lot of adrenaline and such stuff as that and the thrill of knowing that you've done it. so wouldn't that be somewhat absence? >> well things that are dirty dangerous and dull that has -- for example, going into a raging fire or there's a building collapse. it's very, very dangerous. why not send robots in that are mentally controlled by firemen or policemen. >> so education now, are we going to be able to download a college degree into someone's head? >> well, we cannot do that yet but last year in animals, we can actually record the memory of an animal learning a feat reinsert the memory back in and, boom,

they remember. >> next will be -- >> or a watchdog for that matter. >> next will be a brain chip for alzheimer's patients. instead of wandering the streets not knowing who they are, push a button and the memories will come flooding into their hippacampus. >> what does this do for al alzheimer's and mental illness? >> now we can actually see how the brain is miswired under, for example, schizophrenia. the left part of the brain generates voices but the front part of the brain is unaware of this in schizophrenics. they are talking to themselves. >> so could this medical technology be used to clear someone's memory? >> well we cannot do that. there are certain drugs that can take off the high extremes of bad memories. okay so there is a drug which will make certain memories that are traumatic, more manageable

by knocking off the tops of these memories. >> and dr. kaku you're in philadelphia tomorrow is that correct? >> that's correct. >> congratulations. thanks for joining us tonight. i appreciate it so much. more information on the "7 days of genius" series logon to msnbc.com/genius. "politicsnation" with reverend al sharpton is up next. good evening al. >> good evening, ed. thanks for tuning in. i'm live tonight from miami. we start tonight with breaking news. the dramatic supreme court fight over the president's health care law. justices today hearing a case that conservatives hope will gut the law. the lawsuit claims that federal exchanges in 34 states should not be allowed to provide subsidies. a claim that could force between 7 and 9
