peter lee is the head of their research and he joins us now from redmond, washington.re in charge of more than 1000 research labs around the world. what kind of thing are you focusing on? >> we are really covering a huge array of things. almost anything you could imagine in computing research and other parts of math, physics, computer science. a big focus right now, really on point for this segment, is artificial intelligence. we have been very focused. it is our largest investment area right now. >> one of the things you're working on is a virtual assistant. what could he or she do? >> one way to think about it is they try to answer questions and figure things out. one type of question is to figure out what questions? what did that person say or if you see a picture, what is in that picture or video? another kind of question that is challenging is to answer the why questions? why does this person want to see a certain person for an appointment? why did this person asked these questions? understand the intention of people. that is the basic subject of this personal ass

now we're going to hear from peter lee of cover california. peter, welcome. >> great.good morning, great to be joining you and my colleagues from across the nation. i'm going to try to hit quickly the major points that susan queued up at the beginning and run through them. a lot of my points will echo remarks you've heard from rhode island, kentucky, district of columbia. first, how are we doing? partway through, we're now two-thirds of the way through open enrollment. we have a lot of data on the first three months and some on the last couple weeks. how we're doing is we have a lot of interest and a lot of enrollment. so in california, we've seen about 1.1 million people enroll. newly eligible in medical, about 600,000. or in cover california's exchange products, about 500,000. of our enrollment in the covered california exchange, we've actually seen 85% of them being subsidy eligible. 15% not eligible for subsidies. but, remember, a lot of people don't need to shop in our exchanges if they are getting a subsidy and we don't care where they shop. we'll look forward to

. >> reporter: the "covered california" executive director peter lee says people like stacey aan exceptione says they are continuing to work with customers who still want to sign up with the deadline at the end of march when they will be fined. >> we extended enrollment from the 23rd through the end of last week so people who signed up and got their applications in, we are processing that now. >> reporter: but for stacey, he can't reach the process. and he worries when he does, it would be too late. >> if we don't get a resolution soon, mr. lee is going to be working on me. >> despite all the frustrations, stacey says he still supports the program and hopes to get coverage before he needs it. >> the next deadline coming up is january 15. if you enroll by then, you should be covered by february 1. >>> three people are behind bars after a home invasion in brentwood. police say they are close to catching a fourth person. it happened on green stone court near central and walnut boulevards on new year's day. police say the suspects knew the people that they targeted because they had recently be

. >> we just want to give peter lee a chance to comment on this question, as well. peter? >> yeah, somewhat different philosophy. we actually told the plans a year ago that if they wanted to be part of the individual marketplace, to step up and play first year around and not stand by the sidelines. we're not letting plans that were not previously in the marketplace come in next year. the plans that are in want to stay. the one exception is medical plans, plans in the medicaid market can potentially come in, obviously medi-cal extension is a big deal. all of the plans with covered california are really recognizing that this is a long-term play, and are looking at things like benefit design. how do we improve the benefits? but really how do we learn what's happening over the first two years to do then substantial benefit design changes not next year but the year after? so the plans are recognizing with us that this is not a short-term play. but rather one that we need to actually base our growth, and changes for consumers based on information. >> peter just a quick question

own, senator mike lee delivering the official tea party response, and congresswoman cathy mcmorris rodgers giving the official republican party rebuttal. nbc white house correspondent peter alexander joins me live. what are we learning about what we're going to see or hear tomorrow night? >> i think one of the interesting points you hit on is the fear of this sort of american apathy right now. the president faces a very pessimistic america on not just the economy, but on him, congress, and political parties in general, so in this sort of his last best chance to kind of set the agenda, the next two state of the unions, the focus will heavily be on the 2016 presidential election. they are going to try to set some parameters about what they hope to accomplish in real terms, and as it's been described by advisers, they don't want to focus on what can be described as small ball, but achievable accomplishments. of course, they do that with the backdrop of the 2013 state of the union where little to nothing has come of some of the proposals then, gun control, immigration, and some others. as for the atmospherics, brian, we're getting a better understanding who will be joining t

lee re to endorse christie. so welcome to both of you. >> thanks, brook. >> peter, quickly to you, we have a team in washington goingough this document dump, 907-plus pages. what are we expecting to learn specifically? >> we don't know. i mean, this is -- >> we have no clue? >> no clue here. i mean, the new jersey legislature, you know, ruining the nights of political reporters up and down the eastern seaboard tonight because we have to download these documents and go through all of them. you know, early on we're not sure there's going to be much in here beyond what was leaking already. it seems, you know, you would think that the most damaging stuff would have been leaked out of the gate. but we're still going to go through here and see. look, brook, i think if you look at the christie story in isolation as a political issue, you can make an argument that he did what he had to do yesterday and he might survive politically. the problem for christie is things like this, the civil suit, if it ever gets to discovery, a potential investigation by the u.s. attorney's office, those are the things that have the potential t
