alan? >> the opposite of what he said. no, i amnd a friend of fox news who has been at the prayer breakfast said it was inappropriate and not because of what he said but because of where he said it. it is good for the president to hear different positions and carson is a bri brilliant neuro surgeon and it was inappropriate. he has become a great c conservative hero because he stuck it to the president at a place that is not appropriate. >> you are right about cal thomas saying an apology was in order because it wasn't the right place. but he said the president didn't appear to be angry. monday night on the factor with bill o'reilly, dr. carson was talking about show the social f fabric is changing. >> you can not oppose anything a black person is doing without being called racist. you cannot oppose abortion without being anti-women and you cannot uphold traditional marriage without being homophob homophobic. >> he is the country is immature, what do you think about that? >> absolutely. the president was in a position to bring ameri

i want to bring in one point, that i am sure has been mentioned. i visited alan gross two years ago. what a heartbreaking situation. this poor man is being held because he may have brought in equipment that would have brought in more information into cuba. i do not know specifically whether he did or did not, but that is the charge, espionage. what they have done to this poor man is heartbreaking. when you visit and see what his life is like today, you meet his wife and family, as i have. i said to cuban officials, i have leaned your way in opening relations with the united states, but you lost me on gross. what you have done in closing out his small little effort to bring in equipment is outrageous. this poor guy is still in prison, and is going on a hunger strike. i do not know how he keeps his mind about him when he faces every single day. i do not disagree with your premise, senator rubio. open it up. the more ideas we can pour into the island, the better i think the chance they will move toward values that we share. so those who are critical of this basic ap

am mark barton. >> time in london is 7:18. >> alan, as investors, how do we weather this?rategize around events in ukraine, which are changing every day? >> it's very interesting. if you think about what they said in geneva, what that means is they want the russian theiers to go in to get russian soldiers out of those buildings. it both ways. me the russian point of view. you get a little more balance. they definitively say no interest. onhink you are seeing that thursday. the implementation is very difficult. we have bought some russian bonds. we have bought russian sovereign bonds and national champions because dollar denominated have enough resources to see it through. and a rare bit value within fixed income. thehe last couple weeks meetings we saw a really highlighted the different paths we see markets going on at the moment. russia has its own issues surrounding ukraine. talk about the distinctions between emerging and developed markets. >> in terms of that we are it is a neutral stance. much cheaper market. when you itve deeper into the value, leads to russian stock

alan later, how they handle the books. and how long have you been here? >> 20 years. >> you're the one that contacted me, right, to come here? >> i am>> what was your motivation? >> it needs a whole overhaul. i mean-- >> what are the things that just eat at you? >> um, absolutely the receivables. customers pay late. there's a lot of money out there. >> so the money that the customers owe us, those are the receivables? >> correct. >> how much is our total receivables right now? a couple hundred thousand? >> we have almost 4 million on the streets. >> are you kidding me? business that generates $200,000 a day in sales, $50 million a year, can expect to have a certain amount of receivables. but $4 million in uncollected funds? that's totally unacceptable. and how much of it is old? >> 1.1 million. >> is any of it really old? >> some could be well over two years old. >> you're not gonna see that again. >> no. >> of the $4 million of receivables, $1 million is at risk? >> yeah. >> okay. all right. i'm gonna go chat with them. thanks, donna. >> you're welcome. >> so i got the receivables list. there's $4 million of receivables. but i thin

alan? >> i have a lot of respect to bob dole but i am siding with rand paul.never supposed to be a permanent job. we have a president who has been successful and we didn't have a lot of washington experience before coming in. so i wonder if the same people that criticize president obama for not having enough experience will embrace the newer ones. i am with rand paul. >> i think we need freeze that quote. you agree with mr. paul. brad, what do you think? >> i think he is sticking up for president obama. >> that is why. >> i happen to agree with rand paul on this. >> this is applicable to the president. our president ran for senate to run for president. he didn't do work in the senate. he ran for president. so you have to walk before you run. >> no other senator wants to be president. >> you need achievement and you have to have experienced failure to achieve success. our president is a perfect example. >> there is definitely an appeal that people find out to someone who is fresh and from the outside. as senator paul said, some of those folks get so steeped in

>> jay carney said i am sorry we don't have breakdown data on this, alan.>> that is data from mckenzie corporati corporation. kathleen sebelius said 80-90 percent have paid. why it is very easy for the other side to say they are a liar and try for the 51st time in congress to repeal something they have failed at something they have done 50 times. insanity is trying the same thing over and over again with no different result. please run against obamacare in the election and democrats ought to embrace it. too many democrats are afraid it. this is a successful program that more and more people are liking as the polls show. >> alan and the white house saying bringing it on. there is a new washington post poll showing people like this more than they did a few months. 48% like the plan. >> wait about the other number and shoe to drop and that is the 47 million who don't have health care. >> that is not true >> the number of people who had health care that don't have health care now has doubled under this president. and they are self-insured. the cost of the progr

am betting mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba the relatively new nba commissioner alan silver nothing but rave reviews from nba people today by the way warriors in the in their a clippers up 4942 as the game is nearing intermission. now sterling band from late today it to what funds 25 to $25 million. what will also gather the owners for about to try and force early out as the prisoner. earlier tonight we spoke with nba a hall of famer for more your assets and if he is pleased with nba decision. >> : you find him the maximum you could find him. that the most important thing he said was that his and all of his power to get the other owners and league to give a three-quarters vote to get him out. i think that's what the players want. if you remember the brian james crook charge said he has no right to own an nba franchise that started everybody else with that theme. and i think with the pressure of the sponsor is dropping out with the ticket is that all be there tonight with people across the country being outraged all that and you add to it the commissioner tried to do w
