hipaa that ha down sides records have been lost, vice president been transferred easily because of hipaa. there is a tradeoff. if you put too much of a line behind privacy, you're trading off opportunities for new services customers will desire. i think what companies have an obligation to provide is transparency and what they are offering and the consumers could be able to make a reasoned decision about what they are going to give up in turn for sharing their privacy. i think it's premature for congress to say this is the line we're drawing. having t the sec can handle it and is handling it so far. >> is a quickly evolving area. before we put new services and rather than jump in, we should take a deep breath -- >> let's assume the congress chooses to disagree and chooses to enact privacy. in that case, other anyways we should treat the internet of things differently from other companies that collect data or to the internet? >> i would like to think about that answer. off-the-cuff i would say the internet of things has easy connectivity quickly and rapidly. when knowledge is appropriate

but it is -- you know convoluted to the extent where that falls under hipaa rules and regulars. and you can't -- you can't discuss people's mental conditions. your health is private information. so, you know there is no one fix to the problem. our state here has a very strong sense of personal property rights and the rights to bear arms. different communities and segments of the community have issues. we all have the same -- >> what about the right to public safety? what about the right to being able to sit in a movie theater or go into a church basement or feel comfortable and safe in places where one -- >> there is no denying that. >> so how do you balance the two? >> i don't know. that is going to be a conversation that is going to go on for quite a while. that is a hot political debate. here, you know, i'm more concerned with my constituents and the health of the community and the struggles that we are going to have. with not feeling safe. you know guns -- guns mental health. people kill other people whether it's gun, knives cars. all kinds of things. there has to be somethi

we have hipaa rules, a lot of things stand in our way we have to get past these barriers for the sake of this society. >> what's the main art from the other side for example, the nra supporters who didn't like what you were trying to do? >> i went all over the state of west virginia. i talked to my friends and they said this is a good by joe. i said i know it is. why wouldn't you support it? they just don't trust government. they don't think they would stop they they would take more of their rights and liberties. this treated a law-abiding gun owner with the respect they should be treated. we've got a lot of rules overturned but on the other hand we had to be responsible. all the law-abiden gun owners i know are response but they don't trust government. >> will you make another push? >> if we can get our friends on the republican side. i need 13 14 15 votes on that side. >> to break the filibuster? >> yeah if every democrat you know, and we have a few of our friends off democrat side who had difficulties. we're trying to find the most reasonable responsible approach that doesn't infri

they're saying look hipaa, the privacy laws don't apply to tv.hat we get your dark medical secrets and we're putting them on tv. >> u think it does. if it was would say wow. but all of the sudden outcome the records from jackson memorial hospital and it reveals they took off the index finger all the way down through the hand. if you get that megyn, u i imagine somehow that's coming out, especially if you're allen chef near. >> no one cares about whether i lose a finger but i don't play professional football. >> that's a good point. i didn't realize that until now. during rehearsal you never brought up that counter point. here's what i'm saying. if he did something unrelated to football it doesn't matter. but the fact he's missing a finger he had a $65 million contract he was pushing aside. >> this is a slippery slope. what's next? are regoing to put angelina jolie's medical records out. do we need get to see those? no. at some point it's private and i'm not supposed to be looking at it. >> if you have this problem with angelina jolie and she can'

the hospital has to have those records probably protected by hipaa so we need to know more about that. >> and what is this neurohistolojy? >> the brain is removed from the skull, sections and examined visually. then there's a microscopic examination into the issues to look for areas that don't look rig right. pathology, tissue that is destroyed do to autolysis. that will help us understand a little bit more but i don't think this is going to reveal a great deal about cause of death. and like i said it will remain a mystery. >> very difficult for the family for sure. thank you very much elizabeth cohen and larry kobilinsky as well. >>> after bobbi kristina was found unconscious in january, a criminal investigation was launched, not to mention a lawsuit against the man she referred to as her husband. where do these cases go from here? moms knowafter brushing, mouths often need a helping hand. listerine® total care helps prevent cavities, strengthens teeth and restores tooth enamel. it's an easy way to give listerine® total care to the total family. listerine® total care. one bottle, six

this is what we did when we started having credit reports and -- or medical information we have hipaa the fair credit reporting act. there are precedents for dealing with the collection of personal data which 30 or 40 years ago people were worried how those would be used against us, and a lot of people are even worried now because a lot of the companies that make credit records are big data broke north america this industry and collecting a lot of this information. so there's a lot of information now sneaking into credit reports or other type of scoring systems that are kind of reef placing credit reports and not even covered under existing legislation. so i encourage people to educate themselves and read up on things. i you want to close some of your accounts i've done that. it's really not a great solution and you also do miss out. there's a definite social cost, and i do miss some of the interaction is used to have on some of these platforms even if i still stay on a couple others. we need a more stable and sophisticated regulatory regime. >> if there's one that that people do that

and with the hipaa laws it's very difficult for people who give the information whether or not a person. you have to be adjudicated for the court of law and declared insane, mentally incapable in order to be excluded from getting a gun permit. there's something fundamentally wrong for that. rather than closing the loophole we are making it more accessible. >> state representative terry landry, sr., come see me any time sir. >> thank you for having me. >>> the white house on september 11. up next, a look at newly released photographs on the day that changed america forever. esurance was born online. which means fewer costs, which saves money. their customer experience is virtually paperless which saves paper, which saves money. they have smart online tools so you only pay for what's right for you which saves money. they settle claims quickly which saves time, which saves money. they drive an all-hybrid claims fleet which saves gas, which saves money. they were born online, and built to save money, which means when they save, you save. because that's how it should work in the modern world

if someone admits a crime in a deposition, it's not like the hipaa law where, you know, talking aboutciated press sued to have the deposition relieved. and the judge in the case cited that because of the moral issues and because cosby has always been outspoken on morality issues, and he's a public figure, he felt that therefore the presumption is that these comments, what cosby said in his deposition, should be made public. so -- interesting. >> icky. >> it is icky. and you feel like it may open up the floodgates. >> for civil, not criminal as you pointed out. >> we'll see if he actually -- bill cosby gives an interview or not. i'm a temple grad, do a lot of work with temple. he the face at temple university, spoke at my graduation. the university has disassociated themselves with him in many ways. >>> another story on a far different note. okay this is -- i didn't believe this video when i saw it. but it is apparently not green screen. this is real. a man in calgary, canada, took to the skies in this ride. he took off with over 100 helium balloons on a lawn chair. his name is daniel
