to turn the alaska v.a. into a more veteran-centric direction, and it wasn't easy. it wasn't easy. there is a familiar slogan out there that says, it doesn't in matter who wins an election. the bureaucracy also wins. and that was kind of a way of life in the alaska v.a. health care system. but we developed a pretty strong ally when secretary shinseki came on board. during his tenure as secretary, we saw three significant changes from the status quo. first thing that happened was the v.a. began contracting with alaska's tribal health care providers to care for our veterans, both our native veterans and our nonnative, who lived outside the reach of any v.a. facilities. so if you're a veteran living in bethel, doesn't make any difference whether you're native or nonnative, you could receive care through the tribal health care providers. and they were compensated by the v.a. at the same rate that the indian health service pays them. so the second thing we saw them with secretary shinseki, i would commissioned an

the justice department asked for more detail about alaska's plans. the second request.t delays the merger. had the doj not asked anything, the merger could have taken effect. the purchase of virgin america will combine two of the west coast carriers and that does raise anti-trust concerns. tesla will sell more stock. what we call a secondary offering, in order to raise more money to make the model three. we have said several times in the past, tesla did not have the funds to ramp up its production and it would have to offer more stock, which it just did. investors hate secondary offerings because when a company offers more stock, it dilutes the existing stock. if i offered to sell you a slice of pizza for $2 and you and i understand by a slice i mean one of six slices of pizza, then i keep slicing that into smaller and smaller slices, you are not going to get very much pizza and mad you paid $2 for your pizza. which is why we expect tesla stock to slide this morning on the stock market. curious coincidence. goldman sacks rated tesla a buy. that might push the price high

some high school grad moved from seattle to alaska. he was so brilliant he was admitted to the kennedy school at harvard university skipping four years of undergraduate and then he went to get a phd in economics from princeton but always too busy seeing how he could save lives. here is the key story i want to relate quickly. the price of the cocktail drugs from us drug companies, $10,000 per patient per year, pay or die and they died. jamie love went all over the world, he met with who people, ministers of health, aggregations of patients, advocates for patients, he was in the air half the time, and john richard, and a singular dynamo that connected with the drug company in india and showed the drug companies here that were backed by the clinton administration that that drug cocktail can be brought down to $300 a year per patient in africa. [applause] >> and continued to go down. it was a huge drama. he never got any press coverage to speak of. never got any awards, didn't matter to him. he was driven, the combination of powerful knowl

so can you all comment on the situation in alaska, and what our state's courts found? >> i want to begin by saying i was a utah teacher but i was a fairbanks alaska student. i know would like to go to school with the stars are still out in the middle of the day. and i want to tell you that the best teaching assignment i ever had was salt lake homeless shelter. because the surrounding support that i had asked the teachers that the district placed a better, they were social workers that worked with the family. the was a health clinic, a dentist who came in every few weeks. the nutrition programs that th had. i was never alone. i had the support i needed as the professional who could deal with sometimes mental health issues that the family had. so we understand when you say, you do indeed, every school needs that technology, the textbooks, the facility. you need the stuff, but you also need to deal with the reality of that child's life, and some children come to us with so many more needs that are not met in their home, in their community. they come from homes where they

. >> the closest concern is alaska. right by the a lushian islands. if that fault ruptures, here's an animation. the water is displaced at the source. down the canadian coast by vancouver and proceeds to saturate the pacific northwest before settling in the bay area. the water might even pierce the bay by the golden gate bridge. but the tsunami shouldn't do much more damage from there. >> could be enough to get in the bay. it will get in the bay to a degree. but it's not going to have any sort of impact, especially north, south bay directly across from the entrance under the golden gate. they could have some impacts there. >> aside from alaska, activity by chile and japan are the other likely pathways to a tsunami reaching our shores. but scientists say the overall risk of a damaging tsunami in the bay area is still very low. for reality check, i'm sam brock. >> good information. thank you, sam. if you want to check out the tsunami risk in your neighborhood, we put a link to the know your zone link. you can find it at nbcbayarea.com/reality check. >>

more likely an earthquake off the coast of japan or alaska sets off a chain reaction. ocean, one plate goes underneath the other pushing up water and sending waves sprawling. they reached our shores after the 2011 tsunami in japan tearing up ships in the santa cruz harbor. but the damage was relatively contained. and there were no deaths because we had ample time to prepare. >> the tsunami in japan took about 14 hours to get here. we had a half a day and more. >> an earthquake from, let's say, alaska, might take five hours to get here. but its potential to produce a more powerful tsunami is more pronounced. i don't mean here in the santa cruz harbor but up and down the bay area. the reason why is topography. we'll address that part of our story and the worst case scenarios tomorrow night. for reality check, i'm sack brock. back to you. >> thank you, sam. >> was he talking about umbrella weather coming up? did i hear that correctly? >> jacket possible and also the umbrella. huge contrast from the past couple of days. hopefully you enjoyed the warm weather if that's what

it's cold in alaska.more than 97% of scientists is offensive and dangerous. no matter what sarah palin and these geniuses she surrounds herself with, climate change is not a liberal versus conservative thing, but the people who profit from ignoring it want you to believe it is. in general, politicians on the left believe humans are the major problem, on the right, they say not all, but most. this isn't a matter of political opinion. it's a matter of scientific opinion. in this case, overwhelming scientific opinion. 2014 was the warmest year ever until 2015 became the warmest year ever. now 2016 might turn out to be even warmer. you know how you know when climate change is real, when the hottest year on record is whatever year it currently is, that's how you know. [ applause ] we've had 15 of the last of the 16 hottest years ever since 2001. that's not an opinion. it's a fact. for so humans are contributing to this has become a left versus right issue. the politicians debate it. our scientists don't. a hug
