hundreds of texans protest a white police officer who drew his guns at a pool party. two are still on the law and president obama dwebds hisefends his health care law. but first, dennis hastert appeared in court. dennis hastert comes out of hiding.

>> he was once one of the most powerful politicians in the country. >> he joins a long list of city and state officials here no wlo have come through these doors behind me facing criminal charges. >> sources now tell nbc news that hastert was paying a man to keep silent about sexual misconduct. >> his attorney thomas green. >> represents clients in major national scandals from water gate to the ann contra. >> who is individual a. >> even though denny has been accused of doing horrific things, it may be hard for the prosecution to make its case. >> out of sight since he was in-dwighted two weeks a ago, dennis hastert appeared in court this afternoon for his arraignment. hastert left the federal court in chicago just moments ago having entered a plea of not guilty to federal charges that he tried to hide illegal bank withdrawals and then lied to the fine about it all to make hush money payments to cover up past

sexual misconduct. law enforcement officials have confirmed that the past misconduct was sexual in nature and involved a male student at the school where he taught and worked as a wrestling coach. hastert has not been charged with sexual abuse. bond was set at $4500. joining me now megan mccartel, joan walsh, e.j. dionne and brian weic eflt. brian a, there was some debate whether hastert might plead guilty. we draw anything from the fact that he pled not guilty? >> sure. i think the fact that he hired thomas green who is they say in the mob is a made guy, this is one of the elite criminal against lawyers in all of the country. and for those of you folks on the panel that don't remember water gate, that was actually a pretty big deal back then.

>> i think a lot of us remember it. >> nobody in a case of this magnitude is going to plead guilty at a preliminary appearance. i think this is a case that the prosecution is going to be hard pressed to make on so many levels. anybody that has ever watched law and order marathon recognizes that the instructing statute that denny hastert has been charged with doesn't apply to people like this. it's dope dealers, terrorists, gang oigbangers. it will be difficult to try to convince a jury that the spirit and somehow the letter of the law will apply to denny hastert. >> there is a technicality which almost seems to be the thing that dennis hastert is on the hook for and then there are the ethical questions which are not technically -- or are not actually going to be litigated in a court of law, but are absolutely part of the discussion in and around anything pertaining to dennis hastert at this moment in time.

>> well, that's entirely true and i think what you're also going to see and you're already seeing is a revisiting of the hastert years in congress. there was a piece on how this whole episode puts the entire tenure that hastert had in the house under new scrutiny and in a different light. i do think that technically fll be the question and we'll know more about how the fbi questioned him about whether -- what the meaning of the word yeah is, if i may pick up on an old phrase in his answer to the fbi guy. but on the ethical front, you've not only got the accusations which has you carefully pointed out aren't on the table about some sort of sex all behavior back then, you also have the fact that he responded very slowly to a whole series ofall behavior back then, you also have the fact that he responded very slowly to a whole series of ethical issues that came up in

the congress. steve schmidt said the slowness and reticence of hastert back then particularly on the marg follow mark foley case all will come out again. and so i don't think republicans want to visit this but as steve schmidt said i think a lot of republicans will be an sgri again at some of the things that happened in that old congress. >> yeah it brings to mind the sort of waterfall of moral failure that came to characterize that moment of leadership. >> as well as the clinton impeachment fiasco. you had newt gingrich, bob livingston and finally hastert, the clean one. i can't weigh in on whether i'm be convicted or not. he's not been charged with sexual be abuse. but it also occurs to me this man was a wrestling coach. i wish wrestling coaches and teachers made enough money to pay an estimated $3.5 million --

>> well, we wish wrestling coaches didn't have to pay anybody off. >> of course but they could give their children -- >> we'd like teachers to make more yes. we'll divorce those two. >> but really it just raises questions about what this rather undistinguished speaker did after he left the house and what he did was pedal his influence and get himself very, very rich. >> and we are learning now that he sort of tried to fast track the amount of money that he could makes a lobby he is potentially so he could afford these payouts. >> of course we don't know.he is, potentially so he could afford these payouts. >> of course we don't know. >> maybe we will. who knows what happens in the court of law. >> but i think the disappointing thing, lobbying is a bipartisan bias. it's the same thing. government has a lot of money to hand out and it can did a lot of damage to your business and that means that companies have a lot

of money to spend on trying to keep the government from doing that. and i'm not really sure there is a way to stop that. >> i think it's more about making sure government doesn't do anything to regulate it. >> you see something like obamacare, probably one of the most heavily lobbied bills in history because there were so many industries that were potentially affected by all the decisions they were making. and that actually drove a lot of the developments that you saw in how the law was structured and so forth. that's unfortunately the nature of the beast. >> e.j. go ahead. >> i think when you look back at the hastert years, that's when earmarks really got a bad name. in the olden days earmarks were postally about a bridge you wanted in your district that people there wanted or help to your local community college or something. and in the hastert years, they got associated with a lot of -- first of all, they ballooned and secondly, they got associated with special interest favors including in hastert's case a

road that helped a development that he ended up own something land that got involved in that the "chicago tribune" reported that story at the time, it all kind of went away. that will be revisitedic, too. not as a legal matter but people are already talking about it. i want to say one thing in defense of wrestling coaches, i was a high school wrestler and i had a great wrestling coach. and so let's not fault -- >> we're not painting them all -- >> exactly. defend the class. >> i want to go back to some of the specifics of the case. i just found out and i think most people are just finding out that the u.s. district judge thomas durkin handling this case, he's actually given money to hastert's political campaigns in the year 2002 and 2004 500 and $1,000 respectively. that seems like pea nuts but nonetheless, the fact that the judge residing over the case gave money to hastert to get reelected to office would seem

to pose a really significant question in terms of objectivity. but it doesn't look like it's made that may waves. >> that's a great point. the money was given at a time when the district judge was in private practice. and here in text,nin texas, it's not just chicken feed. that's not your bar tab. and it's not that anybody has necessarily given money to a political candidate who may now be a defendant in your court. it's whether a reasonable person, the people that watch this this great network watching all the facts and circumstances would have a reasonable doubt about that judge's ability to be fair. and this is a well respected district judge in the northern district of illinois and i really think if i'm the prosecutor, i mean got to understand that if and when this case goes to trial, denny hastert will be judged pie people who elected him. and so if i'm the u.s. attorney i'm not going to fight a battle by trying to get rid of a judge that i may not be able to win. and two if i'm got to look petty

in the process. >> holding one's fire power, i believe it's called. thank you both for your time. after the break, we'll discuss the disturbing video showing a police officer throwing a 15-year-old to the ground and drawing his gun on teens at a texas pool party. the community is calling for the officer's badge. plus jeb bush takes his noncampaign campaign overseas, but is europe the best place for bush? and later bachelor lindsey graham, senator lindsey graham promises a rotating first lady. rotating first lady if he's elected president. really.

when i started at the shelter, no one wanted benny. so i adopted him. he's older so he needs my help all day. when my back pain flared up i was afraid i would have to give him away. i took tylenol at first but i had to take 6 pills to get through the day. then my friend said, "try aleve." just 2 pills, all day. and now, i'm back for my best bud! aleve. all day strong. and try aleve pm now with an easy open cap.

hundreds of people in mckinney, texas are calling for the firing of a police officer who was filmed pulling his gun on teens at a pool party on friday. in the video, which has now been viewed 9 million times on youtube, the officer is seen shoving a young black girl's face into the ground and pinning her down as well as cursing at nearby teenagers. the officer eric casebolt who has been placed on administrative leave pending investigation, how exactly the scuffle began is still unclear the police say they were called because there was a disturbance and uninvited people refused to leave the swimming pool. one witness told lawrence o'donnell that the incident began after a group of ypg black men showed up and tried to get into the pool. >> later on during the party, a group of black men, young men, were at the gate of the pool trying to get let in and we weren't them at the party and

anything, so we told no one to let them in. so they went to the side of the pool and then started hopping the fence and that's when like some of the parents started complaining about it. they called the cops and that's when the cops began coming. >> another witness told chris hayes that it was a racial slur that started it all. >> a very racial comment, racial slur, to a group of teenagers. and we felt the need to step in and say something. and then that broke out into a lady getting physical and violent. and then that's when the cops were called. >> joining us now is special projects director for the national domestic worker alliance and black lives matter movement alisha garza and joy reid. joy, you're on the ground. this is one of those things where finding one single narrative about what started it all is proving complicated. do you have any clarity to add?

>> reporter: well, you know what, i think just from all of the collective stories of the various young people who have been talking to me including to msnbc, what appears to have happened really was rooted in a conflict over who was in the pool. what it turns out at least it appears that there were a small group of white parents who objected first to the number of kids who were in the pool this is a predominantly african-american party thrown by ap-african american resident that lives in the community and posted it on social media so some of the other school mates came and then a wider group came. and that escalated the conflict. there are a couple accounts that also say two adult women got into verbal confrontations with minors with teens, and then in two separate incidences got into physical altercations allegedly

striking two teens in separate incidents. the police got called. there is a consistent story that one adult we believe is a third person not one of the two women is the person who told the kids go back to your section eight housing. well, they live there, so that was sort of a problem. and that that escalated things further. once the police got there, however, it was very clear that we don't know what the 911 call said but they were specifically targeting the african-american kids and trying to get them to sit down on the grass and then sort of the mayhem that you saw. >> and i guess there are many strikes things about this but the targeting of specifically the young black i think presumably students who were at this event, and the fact that from all the accounts we've heard the aggression was mostly on the part of white residents or white people who were in attendance. another video shows two white women fighting with teens. i don't know if we can play that. but i wonder if you have any information on that. they're pulling each other's hair. they're not being stopped by

police. >> and i can tell you that one of the things that i have been doing is trying to get the identities of a lot of the adults walking away including the man in the khaki sort of tan shirt freely walking around the scene. there were at least twoed a account adult men who were walking clearly around. the two women, we haven't been able to confirm their names. but the kids are saying that one of those two women confronted the 14-year-old young white girl saying things to her that is negative. tatiana burke stepped in she's the girl who threw the party. she said you can't speak to her, she's only 14. and then send she was struck by that woman. and in a separate incident a 19-year-old girl who was a frebts friend of tatiana, this friend also got into a physical confrontation with this other woman. and the 911 calls were related

to quote/unquote fights that were happening, but the police to our knowledge at least did not question those women. by the way haven't been able to get much information out of the police department either. >> these police violence videos that have come out each one sort of offers a new and distressing lens on to the treatment of minority persons specifically black americans byment officials. this one really stands out to me because it zeros in on the violence perpetrated against black women. and the visual of this young girl who is nearly naked, she's in a bathing suit, being held down by face in the ground like an animal by an armed white officer that literally -- almost gives you chills. talk to me about the underdiscussed aspect of violence and black women in america. >> sure. first of all, we should just note that this isn't a new type

of occurrence. again, thankfully for technology now these types of incidents are being broadcast all over the world. but certainly while there is a lot of focus on young black men being murdered by the police there is not as much focus on the prevalence of black women being abused by the police. so we know black women are more likely to be assaulted by police officers and then of course we know that black women are the fastest growing population in prison and jails in this country. and we incarcerate more than 2.5 million people which is more than anywhere else in the world. >> right. >> so certainly when i watch this video i'm sad and i'm angry and really rage is the word that comes to mind. certainly what we saw in this video, these children are being robbed of their childhood. they are having a good time on the last day of school and certainly what they're being shown not just by these officers but certainly people in their

community is that their lives don't matter. that's why we see an adult, grown man, sworn to protect and serve everyone -- >> hard to imagine he's doing either. >> literally dig his knees into his back after she says i have back problems, after she's screaming for her mother. he intentionally continues to abuse her. we also see in this video that there are many people who are milling around and some of those folks who are close to the officer as he's trying to subdue -- not subdue. cease she's not doing anything. >> he keeps saying stop fighting me and she's lying on the ground face down. there is the gender aspect also the class aspect.i think one of the things that has caught the attention of the nation, and i'm not sure that it's necessarily fair that this seems to have more weight than your average police brewutality video, but the fact that this took place in a middle class neighborhood that

was to some degree racially integrated, the fact that i think a lot of people who see those kids white, black, whatever color, and i know those kid. those kids go to school with my kids. those kids live down the treat. and that has prompted a level of outrage. >> i don't think anyone will argue middle class kids aren't as vulnerable as kids in disadvantaged neighborhoods. but i do think that that is what makes it powerful. and if there is good news to come out of this, i think it is for that for years, police have always had deny ability. if you don't have social capital, you're extremely unlikely to get redress.ability. if you don't have social capital, you're extremely unlikely to get redress. now technology are actually capturing what are inappropriate tactics and showing the world like, no we cannot let them -- and i think that as we see more body cameras deployed i think

that as other technology comes into play, that will be a real force for good. so not the to down play this but the happy news is that this sort of thing is what changes it. >> the question is about the solution. buoy has an interesting historical perspective, are the recreation and swimming. which is you know, when i think about jim crow i think about black people not being allowed into white swimming pools and black people not being allowed to white water fountains. just the image that sticks with you. and he concludes every part of this will incident from the setting of a private pool and predominantly white suburb to the angry neighbors and eventual violence is informed by our fraught history of race and swimming. this is a trope that we have seen for decades. >> and it's important to understand that this isn't just about policing. this is about racism in america and i'm so glad that you raised that. but we should also have the

image of 1964 in a pool in florida where a hotel owner is pouring acid into a pool where black kids are swimming. certainly we understand that this is an issue around racism and how it plays out, not just enter pern inter-personally, but systems. when we look at geography, we look at how black folks are segregated. >> and these kids were being shut out -- granted, i'm not sure any recreator wants 1,000 high school kids coming into their pool. but the violence response from police is totally it is proportionate to the action. >> well, sure but what is also interesting about it it seems normal to them. and that's actually part of the problem here. and that what we're seeing is that the folks who were involved weren't addressed at all, but instead this officer is bran tesch brandishing a gun at teens trying to have a pool party.

>> in bathing suits. thanks so much for your time. coming up there are new leads in the search for two convicts who broke free from a new york prison. across america people, like basketball hall of famer dominique wilkins, are taking charge of their type 2 diabetes... ...with non-insulin victoza. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza. he said victoza works differently than pills and comes in a pen. victoza is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time.

and the needle is thin. victoza is not for weight loss but it may help you lose some weight. victoza is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and should not be used in people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. victoza has not been studied with mealtime insulin. victoza is not insulin. do not take victoza if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to victoza or any of its ingredients. symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include swelling of face lips, tongue or throat fainting or dizziness, very rapid heartbeat problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching. tell your doctor if you get a lump or swelling in your neck. serious side effects may happen in people who take victoza including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be fatal.

stop taking victoza and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need... ask instead this officer is non-insulin victoza. it's covered by most health plans.

for a fourth day authorities searched for two fugitives that escaped from a prison in new york. u.s. marshals fugitive task force in new york state police, all searching for the two prisoners. state officials say they have received lots of leads on the case. they tell nbc news one woman, joyce mitchell, has been deemed a person of interest and is being questioned by the police. mitchell works in a prison day tailer shop. on the day she escaped, she had a case of nerves and checked herself into a hospital. they have no clear involvement what involvement she might have

had. take mitchell's son said she won't risk hr life or other people's lives to help these guys escape. joining me now john yang. what you can tell us about the latest in terms of the investigation? >> reporter: well, right now all the focus is in a town called wills borough about 50 miles southeast of here. early today, a driver told police he saw two men walking along the road and then quickly ducked into the woods when he saw them coming. investigators are searching the woods in that area. it's too early officials say to determine whether this is a hot lead or whether this will lead anywhere. mine while as you say, investigators are interviewing this woman joyce mitchell who works in the tailor shop of the prison where they make the uniforms for the metro north workers. two of the workers prisoners assigned there were the two who

escaped. they want to talk to her and try to determine whether the prisoners had inside help in their escape, which they believe they did. but they're now trying to figure out where it came from and how much help there was. and what kind of help it was. back to you. >> i don't knowjohn yang, thanks for the update. just ahead marco rubio says he can relate to measureamerican to americans who have to deal with limited resources. so why did he buy himself a speed boat? that's next. why pause a spontaneous moment to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use,

is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently, day or night. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medicines, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sex. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain as it may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, get medical help right away for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision or any symptoms of an allergic reaction stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a free 30-tablet trial.

out of 42 vehicles based on 6 different criteria, why did a panel of 11 automotive experts name the volkswagen golf motor trend's 2015 car of the year? we'll give you four good reasons. the volkswagen golf. starting at $19,295, there's an award-winning golf for everyone. jeb bush kicked off his six day european tour today with a foreign policy speech in berlin but unlike the warm welcome to barack obama in 2008 bush's speech came amid heightened

skepticism about america. marco rubio was back on home sil waging war with the "new york times." today the "times" detailed his poor financial decisions including hundreds of thousands of debts and loans alongside extravagant purchases like the $80,000 luxury speed boat and lease on audi q 7. take the rubio campaign fired back now they think they doesn't have enough money. of course if he was worth millions, the times would then at taking him for being too witch. it is worth noting that the new york times is hardly alone in documenting rubio's money problems. do his money problems make help relate able or critical? blake, hypocritical are or endearing? >> maybe neither. there are two buckets in this rubio story. one is the guy had $150,000 in student loan debt a lot of

people -- >> very relatable. >> and also hard to live with that. you have kids you're raising kid, you want to buy a house, a car, you have on dip into your debt to do that. some purchases may be questionable, but i think it's relatele. where it then becomes a different bucket of stories is where we're talking about the enter mink intermingling of politics and personal. that's not so relatable. >> do you have an rnc credit card, you just don't use it. >> and the other thing is hiring relatives for his political action committees, those types of things are a different bucket. >> let's get into the fiscal steward ship of the country which is something a lot of republicans are staking themselves on. i think i know what shall people on this panel will say about these choices to get an $80,000 speed boat and audi q 7 if

you're still dealing with mnts mountains of debt. i think, joan that most americans hear about the debt and they're like that makes sense, but if you talk about the other things he spent his money on, that seems like a 4r50ib89 for the liability. >> but i don't think anybody is really picking their commander in chief based on whether he'll be a good fiscal steward. i'm more sympathetic on the issues of personal debt he didn't come from wealth. and i think democrats can go too far in mocking him on this. but i do think the man bought at least one, maybe two homes with no hone down. he got some money from a sponsor to buy a home i believe. it's the mingling of the personal and political that is more troubling. >> so you think -- the question is financial or ethical, do either one rear their way as an ugly head. >> i think we've known the financial stuff was coming for a long time. >> it's been documented.

>> right. i think people were basically waiting for the shoe to drop and it's good for him that the shoe dropped early. because it will be an old story by the time he's in thentin the general. this is not unusual at all. you're talking to people like you make $30,000 a year how do you have a $40,000 car. that's not a good idea. that is -- americans understand this. this is like this is what we're all about. >> you want a person who is theoretically going to be presenting a budget to congress to be making these -- like i know we know -- maybe we ourselves have made choices like this but -- >> i went to business school and racked up almost six figures of debt and then became a journalist. so i'm intimately familiar with this as well. but i don't think that it matters that much on the -- we don't look at people's personal finances and extrapolate them to how they will run the country because people understand that it's different. the ethical things i think are more of a question.

but i just don't series got a fancy car, you know. and also it's not really a charge that hillary clinton is in a good position to make. >> but clintons at least amassed their fortune -- >> i wouldn't start throwing that stone if i were hillary. because it is going to bounce back on her. >> anything financial is tricky. >> so i think that that is -- just no one will be able to make that an issue. >> can i say one thing about that the funny thing is we think what hillary will do about this issue. the people probably helping reporters find these issues are not the clintons. it's other republican campaigns. so the idea that, well, hillary can't throw these stones. jeb bush and these other republicans want to make this an issue. it's not really coming from the clintons most likely. >> american bridge, which is definitely not a republican leaning organization were the

ones who got his traffic tickets. >> that went a little too far. as someone who has racked up parking tickets. not as many as some people. but i feel sympathy there. joan, to the question of jeb bush in germany, i guess i'm not surprised but i am surprised about how much he has not truly dealt where and i think most people are not understandood the bush legacy -- some people would say he was always going to be a liability, but it has been like shackles around him. and i guess i wonder -- he can't go overseas without a relitigation of his brother's legacy. >> on the one hand he does need to show his foreign policy gravitas gravitas. on the other hand, his brother was if possible more unpopular in europe than the united states. it brings back all the ideas about going to alone and the war

of choice and really reminds us of the family he comes from. so it's a strange place to show off his being his own man. nothing that he's done has worked so far. >> and it is an issue if every time you travel, if you travel to western europe, that's like a no go zone for you. like ideally, if you were the president of the united states you want to be able to get off air force one thisin berlin and london and not dredge up the very dark past. >> if i had to guess what they were thinking my guess is two fold. one, every presidential contender wants to pass this commander in cheefr testief test. we know foreign policy especially when you're a governor. so they said let's take a trip overseas, show what we can do. and i think they might have chosen eastern europe because the bush name is so poisoned

but the father with the winding down of the cold war and -- >> he was talking about putin a lot. and's ag gregs plays well for germans. before we go we must get to this. perpetual bachelor lindsey graham was asked today who might serve as his first lady. graham responded i have a sister, she could play that role if necessary. he then added i have a lot of friends. we'll have a rotating first lady. i don't think he meant like a first lady on a swivel. >> i was thinking of dancing with the stars every night. >> that would be interesting. so far i think he's the most interesting republican running for president. >> i do too. i love this idea and i love that he was frank about it. it's a really -- >> he's dating. >> he's out there. maybe this is a good way to get dates. i don't know. >> he's on the apps. can you be a dater in the white house? i know you're not in the white house. >> didn't you see the american president? >> that's what i'm saying.

does america want a dater in chief? >> we're about to find out. >> michelle obama does it very well, but this is a ridiculous position. and maybe this is going to be the thing that makes us reconsider. >> just time share it. >> absolutely. >> thank you all for your time and thoughts. coming up with the fate of obamacare hanging in legal limbo, president obama makes the moral case for his landmark law. we'll discuss his future with josh earnest. that's just ahead. ♪ (music plays throughout) ♪ the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... from the smallest detail to the boldest leap. healthier means using wellness to keep away illness... knowing a prescription is way more than the pills... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others.

with a crucial decision due from the supreme court any day now, a determined president obama is defending american health care. more than five years after signing the affordable care act into law, the president faces a high court division that could strike down subsidies for more than 6 million people by the end of this month. and it is not a prospect he is taking lightly. speaking today at the annual conference of catholic health association, the president made clear when he made the case that obamacare is much more than the myths that have taken deployed against it. >> in reality, there is a self-employed barber from tennessee who happens to be a republican who couldn't afford health insurance until our new marketplace opened up and once he bought a plan he finally went to the doctor and was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. in the old days he wouldn't even have know that he was sick. and today he's now cancer free. there is a reality that people

on the ground day to day are experiencing, their lives are better. >> and as for those supposedly dire side effects for the u.s. economy, the president has been looking closely at the patient's chart. >> and while we were told again and again that obama care would be a job killer amazingly enough some critics still pedal this notion it turns out in reality americans experience 63 straight months of private sector job growth started the month we passed affordable care act. >> josh earnest thanks for joining us on an exciting eventful day in the white house press office. >> you bet. good to talk to you. >> so on a scale of one to ten, how concerned is the white house that the supreme court may scuttle key parts of the affordable care act? >> well, what i would say is it's hard to put a number on it for this reason. the first is we are very

confident in the strength of the legal arguments that we can make before the stream court. any impar are shal reading of the law indicates that it intended for every single american citizen regardless of which state they live into have their eligibility for tax subsidies to be dictated by their income not by the state they lived in. regardless of which state you live in you should have access to -- you should be able to qualify for tax credits that make your health insurance are more affordable. that's exactly the way that the law was designed. and you don't have to take my word for it. there were republican staffers in congress who worked for republican members of congress who didn't it work for the law who actually dwreagree with that. >> but it's a case that has been argued in front of the supreme court and there could be dire consequences if the justices rule one p way. given that was it a head slap moment in the oval office when it was announce that had this was going to make its way to the highest court in the land? >> i think that's i didn't itswhy

it's hard to put a number on it.going to make its way to the highest court in the land? >> i think that's why it's hard to put a number on it. if we're surprised by the ruling and it doesn't go the way the white house believes it should go and consistent with the reading of republican staff members on capitol hill then, yes, it would essentially throw the health care system into chaos. and it wouldn't just jeopardize some of the benefits enjoyed by those americans who get their health insurance because of the affordable care act, it would actually affect the whole market. so even people who just get their health insurance through their employer would see some risk associated with the destabilizing health care mar wet ket. >> it could be the death spiral. who is in charge in the white house's mind of drawing up a plan b? >>s president discussed this a little bit yesterday, too. there is a simple thing congress could do.

they could essentially in a one sentence piece of legislation clarify the offending language. >> john barrasso has made clear, and he tweeted as much, if the supreme court rules against the administration, congress will not pass a one sentence fix. >> yeah, i think he called it a fake fix. >> so given that, whose responsibility is to figure out the alternative? >> well, the fact is the administration doesn't have an easy option when it comes to trying to address all this chaos that could ensue. the easiest thing to do would be for congress to try to address this particular problem, but as you point out, republicans in congress who have voted now more than 50 times to dismantle the health care law would probably take advantage of this opportunity to see the health care system thrown into chaos. and that's unfortunate.

but the fact is just using the president's administrative authority, there are no easy obvious answers here. >> so as far as the administration's concerned, there is no drafting of plan b. >> the truth is, and i've said this before there is no plan b. there is no obvious option that is sitting on the shelf that would undue all the problems. >> josh earnest. coming up he has spent nearly half a century in solitary confinement. now a material judge isfederal judge is ordering him released. the story of alford wood fox is next. put your hand over your heart. is it beating? good! then my nutrition heart health mix is for you. it's a wholesome blend of peanuts,

louisiana prisoner albert wood fox has been in solitary confinement for 43 years where he has maintained his innocence for nearly half a century. yesterday a federal judge ordered him released. if this sounds impossible to imagine, it's because it is. wood fox was the only remaining imprisoned member of the angola three, three inmates charged and convicted in the murder of prison guard brent miller during a prison riot. wood fox says he was first implicated because he had helped organize a prison chapter of the black panther party that

protested racial segregation corruption and systemic prison rape. his case long attracted human rights organizations and the subject of a 2010 documentary. both convictions were later overturned. yesterday's judge's order also ruled out a third trial. but whether this truly signals justice for albert wood fox is unclear. for 43 years, he was confined to a single cell exercise permitted just three times a week and severe restrictions placed on his property access to legal resources and visitation rights. yesterday's judge's order means wood fox could be release within days. until then, he remains in solitary confinement. that's all for now.
