the warriors are still baiving in the close of the -- basking in the glow of the upset over the nuggetst now playoff merchandise is a hot seller. >> i'm a diehard warrior fan. i love my raiders. i'll get my war yar tattoo -- warrior tattoo next. aim all oakland right here. >> oakland residents hope the team will remain in the city and not head to san francisco. they say the team has become a bright light and a role model for children in oakland. >>> the western conference semi final matchup between the warriors and the spurs begins in texas. game one is monday night at the at&t center in san antonio. game two is wednesday night. game through and four will be at oracle arena but the dates have not yet been announced. >>> in southern california, a homeless man is getting a lot of attention for using the money he received from strangers to help others in need. 77-year-old ed denske recently gave $2350 to -- $250 to the society of st. powell devane sent council in los angeles. the ex-marine said he fell on hard times after his wife died. he said he donated because people there have helped h

, the income divide between the rich and the poor, the rising cost of living.s time around, a greater emphasis on issues like the crime levels and also corruption. all of which have drawn in a record amount of voters totalling more than 13 million. >> even 2.6 billion in handouts to the poor just before the polls failed to mobilize more support for the government. this would suggest the prime minister would need to safely address the perception of inequality. as far as the markets are concerned, though, analysts say the outcome has been largely factored in and they believe not just investment policies will remain. >> joining us now is nico tawyer. nico, good to see you. let's start with malaysia. the election, a big surprise to many. we thought it could be a very close call and in the end, it wasn't. were you surprised, as well? >> well, the extended events probably take some people by surprise. but the good thing about that is probably the transformation program and some of the investment program that was brought from the earlier government is likely to contin

the proper role the congress to come to the table with the budget to manage the spending of the country. so you have these very different dynamics that are beginning to emerge and in some cases submerge. part of my responsibility as a national sharon was to try to figure out the best route to win an november. so i'm looking at two potential candidates tell me make the argument. it had to focus on what the citizens of the country wanted done, in other words, the people's business. two of the individuals that summer happens to be chris christie in new jersey and bob macdonald and virginia. and when you look at where the party is now and where it needs to go, those two governors to my belief, are clear examples of the future direction in many respects. you have a blue state like new jersey with a governor, republican governor like christie who is able to of navigate politically but more importantly from a policy position to take the values of the party, articulate them and transit center policy is very, very smart and very, very reflective of what the people want. however, you now have thi

>> the further out you go, the bigger the cone. we've seen the cones the weather service uses. >> surely you've got statistics, how far back does your data go saying we have a degree of success predicting these events, 30%, 60% going back 10 years or 20 years. >> there are statistics that go back that far and generally they indicate that the predictability has increased significantly. that the cones have narrowed. the accuracy going out has increased. i don't have those statistics here with me to refer to but they have certainly improved significantly. >> what i might add is that as i said earlier, the technology world that we are in is predominantly about evaluating you and gathering data that is going to tell what you is going to happen. other technologies such as satellites tell you what is happening now in near term warnings. the two examples i mentioned earlier and one in addition. the technology we work with has been proven or it's been studied a and in and in and in a and a and within noaa as well as other organizations that

call the stances of the both sides have somewhat softened the result of the meeting in moscow was the international conference to be called on by the end of this month which will see hopefully see both the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table to in an attempt to find a peaceful solution to the conflict we heard here in sochi from david cameron who said that while u.k. acknowledges the fact that this is the syrian people who must choose their new government that's why he is strongly supportive of the international conference by the end of this month secret that we have had differing views on how best to handle the situation but we share fundamental aims to end the conflict to stop syria fragmenting let the syrian people choose who governs and to prevent the growth of violent extremists so i strongly support the conference that mr lavrov for mr kerry agreed this week to deliver a political solution a solution which has a transitional government based on the consent of the syrian people as a whole the latest events of the last three day

the mill house was built in the early 1800s. this was the water store for that mail which was the heartbeat of the whole plantation. this is one of the three rivers that make up the cowasee basin. this is a major tributary. you ask about war heroes, the best known one that frequented this area was francis burton, known as the swamp fox, a revolution were here. he did a lot of skirmishing to this whole area of south carolina. he was known as the swamp fox because he hit the british and almost guerrilla like and escape into the swamp and they couldn't find it. they dubbed him the swamp fox. and also general sumter. the british and the continental army came right to this area on their way to the battle of camden at the house which historically across the river from goodwill. a few weeks after that nathanael greene, southern continental commanding officer also had his troops there. all that was within a couple miles of where we are now. very interesting piece of revolutionary history. >> a real notable event was in 1540. that was he

congressional budget office and the day that the bill was dropped on the floor of the senate at the end of november the very next day i sent a letter to the cbo director asking for an analysis on the affordability. what were these plans pentecost, it wasn't great cost american businesses because that question hadn't yet been answered and unfortunately i couldn't get my analysis for the obvious reason. the director of public choice he couldn't do it because he obviously had to fulfill the requests from the majority who basically has first, is first in line and so i could never get my study and here i was a main player on the health care issue in terms of trying to get to the heart of the fact of the matter. and i mentioned to the president holding back on it building the bipartisan group and working out on a smaller scale because there are too many problems fraught with peril and its implementation would be very difficult to implement. >> host: the story of your role in health care is fascinating and the readers will really enjoy all of your back-and-forth with president obama, which

the law is irrelevant. the activity needs the stopped. it needs to be fixed. >> you don't mean that the law is irrelevant, do you? >> it's not important to the fact that the conduct doesn't matter. the department of justice has said that they're looking into the legality of this. the president isn't going to wait for that. >> going forward, there are going to be real questions about what kind of impact this is going to have on the rest of the president's agenda. and the woman what was running the committee, now overseeing the treasury department's oversight of the president's health care plan, that's raised a lot of questions, among republicans on capitol hill, they say that she, given her previous experience, is exactly the wrong person to be overseeing obama care. your response? >> they're going to do a 30-day top-down review, anyone who did anything wrong is held accountable. >> as far she did not nothing wrong. the president believes that she can continue to fulfill her responsibilities on the health care plans. >> let's get facts fir

into the center of the the table and plant these crops.e want to know we have workers who want to stay until the end of the harvest season. >> you bring up a valid point. you might bring up a guestworker , thenk on a tobacco crop that emerges over into a sweet potato crop. for too long, they have been here for a period of time that takes them out of the classification of being a seasonal worker because they are working in multiple crops. what are the competitions there? >> the current program is capped at one year. our growers have figured out a way to live inside the parameters of this program. the longest workers we have in north carolina are 10 months. agriculture is changing and consolidating. we are moving to a, especially in the sunbelt states. we will have to move to a longer-term visa in the future. >> are there any problems? under obamacare, seasonal workers are exempted from being covered by obamacare, correct? want to ask me a technical question about obamacare -- yes, as i understand, the two tests you have to complete, you hav

gwen: the same idea. >> the same idea and the i.r.s. has a role, a big role, in carrying out the implementation of the affordable care act. and so now conservatives who for a long time have said this ungainly, big monster is going to mess up everyone's life now they can say here we have an example of it. and here they're going to be involved in it. >> just one perspective note on this whole issue of government reaching into people's lives. let's remember that the people affected by what happened at the i.r.s. were reaching out to the government for a government benefit. that is tax exempt status. it wasn't the government going out and finding organizations and auditing their tax returns, right? this is not about audits. to me the question is on i.r.s. are first of all, they've acknowledged that it was improper the way that they vetted these applications for tax exempt status. that was wrong. the additional question is, is it wrong because they were trying to do this for a partisan reason? you heard steach miller say no, it wasn't -- ste

the story of the beaming ins in iran. the british geologists discovered iran was sitting on an emotional boil and they decided they would take in they formed the an anglo persian oil company and made a corrupt deal with the iranian monarchy. they guaranteed itself all neurons oil. shortly after that the british government bought fifty one percent of the company and of the suggestion of winston churchill the british navy switched from coal to oil the the warships of the projected british our all of the world were now run one hundred percent wrong. and then in one nine hundred fifty two ronnie ins decided to take their oil. the democratically elected government of prime minister mohammad most and nationalize the anglo iranian oil company. he banished all the british diplomats and along with them the secret agents who were plotting his overthrow so prime minister churchill asked president eisenhower to overthrow most and act on their behalf the cia and the british helped stage the coup that ended the last democratic governme

the bloggers and the people that are sort of compiling the best of the day. i do a lot of looking at those people as well. not only does senator rubio just care about rich people, but somehow he thinks raising the minimum wage is a bad idea for the middle class. but we do care about them right? >> this is "the bill press show," live on your radio and current tv. >> okay. 27 minutes now after the hour now, already here on the full court press, looking at the benghazi and the irs and the associated press issues and we are zeroing in on the associated press as the place where there is really something we ought to be concerned about. in my humble opinion. how about yours? nancy up in buffalo new york. nancy, what do you think? hello, nancy. >> this is tony. >> this is tony. all right. well, where are you -- >> i think national security i'm sorry, trumps the states rights to interfere in what was an ongoing investigation. >> bill: they didn't intreefr. they reported on it afterwards. >> caller: no. they had the story two weeks before. there was a mole in the congr

to the rebels the u.k. a foreign secretary william hague is trying to get the other e.u. members to agree with him that arming the a moderate arm of the so-called moderate rebels in syria also france's leaders have been particularly aggressive in trying to lobby the other leaders to be on board in fact today. leading newspaper also published a report saying that serious forces loyal to bashar al assad had used chemical weapons because one of the reporters had experience effects of it critics would certainly point out that the timing of the publication especially since leaders are to make a decision today now on the other side you have several countries that lifting any of borgo would mean that arms could eventually end up in the wrong hands in violent hands in syria they're also pointing out to the fact that human human rights abuses have been committed by both sides which means it includes rebels in syria so again differences abound this isn't the subject of the conversation here in fact. if there is no ag

isst: the area in the city most of the new homes -- the area that got hit was most of the older homes. but the new homes to have stronger construction. the legislature is thinking about that right now in terms of assistance. this is a community that prides itself in the school system. so i have no doubt there will be some discussion about upgrading the schools. if you looked at the houses are aboveen you ground, if you have any structure above ground and you almost 300 which is miles an hour winds, there's not a lot that can withstand that. not nearly the scope and size of a hurricane, which can devastate. but at the point of attack of a tornado is when it's much greater than a hurricane. of those things where we had a lot of people? in the wrong place at the wrong time. they did the right thing. we had good warnings and evacuation's and great first responders. sometimes when mother nature comes, the idea you can anticipate and overcome everything at the moment, it's just not so. so you work through it as best you can and move on from there and start your life over. people here are us

the history by the way of the america's cup is that the teams decide on the race rules. and today luna rosa put some recommendations on the table to have better protection for the sailors. for luna rosa, that means their team will be wearing body armor. they have oxygen tanks that will give their say lowers extra minutes under water if they are submerged. the team wants more emergency crews out there on the water in terms of water ambulances and paramedics and even a helicopter if one is needed. he also made it clear that they think that the wind limits for the america's cup race should be shifted down. to what, they don't know. because, again, this ac72 for the italian team has not been out on the water yet. they still need to feel the limits out. they say the wind speeds should be shifted down to start the race. if the winds change at any point during the race, they feel that the race should be delayed or called. so these are all things that other teams are going to have to discuss because now the rules, if any, are changed will not be left up to the exit e. it's going

the tension between the feds and the state and the absence of a bipartisan agreement and the sort of read the dynamic that we're going to have to confront what is going to be critical, frankly, in terms of what people know about the program, want to know about enrollment and how that essentially plays out. if you actually think about the size and nature of the question, the ipod for 300 million people who we anticipate having coverage in this country in the near term. a large percentage of those individuals are already covered, either in employment-based coverage come in medicare coverage, in medicaid coverage, and tricare. they are in one of the many systems of insurance that exist in the country. there are a large of a people frankly who will be exempt to can the basis for the exemption could be on income, could be on their member of a tribal organization, could be on a host of qualifications that essential exempt them from this mandate. the latest estimates by the kaiser family foundation suggests that there are about 30 million people that we believe will be subject to the mandat
