the brown administration took some action on that. what did they do?> yeah, the administration has asked the state supreme court to step in and repeal two rulings issued late last year that really harmed high-speed rail. one of them blocked the project from accessing $8 billion in bond money, and the other one basically threw out the plans, financial plan, and said you need to rewrite it. this is an interesting pivot, because the authority's message all along has been these rulings are not a problem, they're something that they can work around. these won't delay the project at all. but now, the brown administration has put forward this court ruling, saying that those earlier rulings, "imperil the project." and of course, this comes weeks after governor brown proposed diverting $250 million from california's cap-and-trade program to pay for the rail project. so, i think this is an indication that the high-speed rail project really is in financial trouble in terms of accessing the money it needs to start paying the federal government later this year, and

jeffrey brown has been looking into what happened. >> brown: it was only a few inches of snow, but it triggered utter chaos. all around atlanta, thousands of people got stranded overnight in a mass exodus to get home early. countless wrecks, including jack-knifed trucks, ground traffic to a halt in icy gridlock. hundreds of students spent the night on school buses. ray henry of the associated press in atlanta says others faced their own, unique dilemmas. because of the weather conditions, we spoke via skype. >> one woman ended up giving birth, en route to a hospital basically got stuck on an interstate and delivered a healthy child, that's very good. other people were running out of gas after sitting in traffic stalled for six to seven hours. many people needed to be picked up by national guard humvees and taken to warming stations or shelters. it's pretty messy out there. >> brown: and some people took to social media, including this snowed out atlanta facebook page, to offer and request supplies and shelter. >> seems like a lot of useful info was communicated. people were able to ge

will any of these guys take a whack at jerry brown's strength?t doesn't look like it, but at this point it's interesting to watch brown in his final year. when he will make an announcement? that's interesting, too. we don't know. he hasn't announced if he is going to run. >> what also remains to be seen is how much of what governor brown has done people will understand and comprehend. there was a survey recently about the new funding formula for public education, how little the public understood about how the formula has changed what the new formula is what does this mean for my schools. no question. there's been a lot of progress from minus 26 to plus 2. when the rubber hits the road and it's time for people to say, yes, i will re-elect governor brown because -- or no, i will vote for his opponent because, i'm not sure how much people get it on a voter level. >> there's no chance he gets re-election. the only thing that will stop him is health issues. california is one of the bluest states in the country. la teens no don't vo latinos don't vote

brown-forman is most like beam, in fact, with beam being bought by a foreign company, brown-forman is the large american whiskey business still standing. the thing about brown-forman is jack daniels is accounting for half of the business, this company's all about whiskey and outperforming spirits in general. whiskey is still in the early innings of a brand new liquor cycle, and these can last for years. first, you get premiumization. that's a proliferation of high-end brands. then you move into the next stage, flavorization, we've seen this whole cycle play out with vodka. but only recently entered the flavor stage. i want you to think about jack daniels honey, which i thought was a woman drink, but i saw a lot of guys drinking it this weekend. with jim beam being taken private, brown-forman is the only way to play this raging bull market in whiskey. more focused on developed markets than diageo. as well as a 1% share internationally, i think those numbers are rising. brown-forman gets 45% of its sales for united states, 55% from overseas. australia, uk, mexico, germany, poland, franc

jeffrey brown updates the health care law's roll-out.lier this week the obama administration released official enrollment figures showing at 1.1 million people have signed up for health insurance using the federal exchange, with more than 975,000 of those coming during the month of december. another 900,000 people registered through the individual state exchanges for a total of 2.1 million. a quick surge but short of an early administration estimate of 3.3 million people would sign up by the start of 2014. julie appleby of kaiser health news joins me now for an update. welcome back. >> thank you. >> brown: first, after all that's happened it's probably useful just to remind people what actually happened when this all kicked in? what were the important changes? >> this is a key date because it was a milestone in a way. a lot of the key provision of the health care law kicked in so things like insurers can no longer reject people who have medical conditions. they can no longer charge men or women more than men. they can no longer set annua

gertrude brown has byssinosis, more commonly known as brown-lung disease. 20% of her fellow textile workersperhaps as many as 150,000 americans, suffer from the ailment. the disease is caused by inhaling cotton dust and fiber, that are by-products of textile manufacturing. growing public awareness of brown-lung disease was a prime force behind the passage of the occupational safety and health act in 1970. as competition increased and profits shrank, businessmen, workers, and the government asked how much we should spend to protect workers. throughout the 1970s, the american textile industry was locked in a struggle against foreign competition. asian competitors were undercutting american mills. the american textile industry was spending millions to protect worker health. asian textile industries spent almost nothing. faced with this competition, the u.s. industry looked to cut costs. o.s.h.a., the occupational safety and health adminstration, told business to spend more, not less. o.s.h.a. proposed tough, new standards for cotton dust. w.o. leonard recalls the industry's reaction. we wanted
