it's an answer that we tried to get since last year when we began a debate in tallahassee about this.are nearly 1 million people who are like charlene, and charlene is just one example of the implications for the decisions that have been made not to draw down these types of federal dollars. i can't tell you how many constituents have been in touch with my office complaining they went on to the federal exchange's website, went through all of the hoops, and were told at the very end they did not qualify for subsidies and would not get access to health care because florida had made a decision not to expand. i think people need to hold republicans in tallahassee accountable. >> i see you shaking your head, jonathan. >> you know, it's really true. they need to be held accountable, i think you're absolutely right, al, this is undercovered. this is really a tragedy of epic proportions. because remember, whether or not you like obamacare, let's take the politics out of this, the federal government said to the state of florida, florida, you have 1 million uninsured people below the poverty lin

eventually winston, two teammates and the woman went back to his tallahassee department.ut the department of education's office of civil rights is investigating the university itself, whether it violated title ix rules, specifically, by delaying its investigation and meeting with winston alone, which is against legal guidance when it comes to alleged sex assault cases. fsu will only say, quote, we can confirm florida state has been notified by the office of civil rights investigation, however, due to federal and state privacy laws the university can not comment. earlier this week up in tallahassee, winston and the national championship florida state football team held court with lawmakers at the state capitol. according to fox sports, two of winston's teammates have in fact now been punished by the school for violating the school's student code of conduct for what they did that night. one of them, a player, at the football team named risk cashinger, told police he videotaped the sex act in the apartment with his cell phone. later deleted it and threw away the phone. that

but also the tallahassee police department because the alleged victim claims when she first went forwardith this the detective she met with said this is a big football town, are you really sure you want to go forward with this which the tallahassee department has denied. the police department is not part of this. this is the department of education and florida state university, if the university is found to have violated these title 9 the rules. we have now learned, there have been student code of conduct allegations. they told police they witnessed win on and the girl having sex and casher tried to get in on it and tried to videotape it. all along winston maintained it was no rape, it was consensual sex. bill: folks thought that was over. maybe not. we'll see. walking and texting not only lead to embarrassing spills like thithis one ... it also leads to serious injuries and we have the numbers to prove it. martha: there is a growing evident to stop an iranian who helheld americans hostage in 199 from coming to new york to be an ambassador to the u.n. >> it's dismail, anne and even more

so this kind of crime comes to attention only because his body loves to the top of the tallahassee river and people see it in its drag and all that but then the question is will anyone be punished for this crime? it's only because of this old man mose wright the two people are charged with this murder and then in an incredible act of courage mose wright gets on the stand and famously points to the men who took the boy away that night and specific to one of the men and says they are he. mose wright had to be held in seclusion and protection and been taken out of state immediately. so you understand the threat to his life was incredible but he nonetheless acted in a way that we had never seen a black man acts in the state of mississippi before. willing to stand in the court and identify a white man as the murder of this black child. the court, the jury came back and found the man not guilty but that act of courage is one again that i think few people know about. they know about emmett till maybe as the kid who got lynched but they don't know about the act of courage that i think is the lig
