Overtime to see if it changes. There is no doubt about that. Final thoughts . Thank you for your willingness to engage any discourse. There are important issues to us and we are able to do this today without yelling and screaming at each other or pointing at each other and making acquisitions accusations against each other. We have to as a nation come to grips with what is the balance here and there is going to be a lot of different perspectives out there. I understand that. Be grateful that you live in a nation that is willing to have this kind of dialogue. That is a good thing for us. Are there tensions along the way . Yes. Its not unique to cyber and its not the first time we had challenges have challenges like this and it wont be the last. But if we are willing to sit down and have a conversation we can move where we want to be. [applause] please remain seated until wrapping up. If you missed any of the conference you will be able to watch it in its entirety on the website cspan. O
That all led people to say, well, we cant really trust them. In your state of the state speech last week you said just because this didnt happen doesnt mean the problem doesnt go away. What is next . If it is such a toxic brand and you went and did so much twoshg get there, is Medicaid Expansion going to happen while youre governor . I certainly hope so. Again, we think the approach that we made was a really practical, smart answer to a real problem. So we still have you know, the program we think would have covered an additional 285,000 tennesseeans who dont have health insurance. Again, theyre getting health coverage. Theyre getting health coverage. Theyre just getting it in the wrong way. We say the emergency room, its getting care there. Its the wrong place at the wrong time and the wrong way. And so what we want to do is to provide a different way to get health coverage, which is still important, and to do something to attack the cost curve which is still really important. We have
Coastal New Hampshire and maine blizzard warnings. Millions of people, hours left to prepare, the blizzard of 2013 is starting today. You can see where its located behind me, off the outer banks of north carolina, the heavy rain shield goes up through the midatlantic, all the way into southern jersey. The snow part of the storm has yet to begin. That will happen as we go through the Morning Hours and especially after noon today into new england. Thats really your cutoff time if youre anywhere from federal jersey northward. Whatever you have to get done, youll do it in rain this morning. After about noon, get off the roads. Thats when we could get stuck and we want plows to be able to clear everything out. As far as the snow totals go, this is the latest thinking on the storm. Were looking at the possibility of over 2 feet in a huge section of eastern new england. Thats the historic part of the storm, from the boston area down to providence. Looks like the foot is going to be easily all
Well, i have been going around to different states, and i have been looking at whats going on state by state. I have been to seven states already. I want to mention two tonight. Just got back from New Hampshire, the most recent trip. What is going on in New Hampshire . New hampshire, as many people know, has a big ski industry. It is a Winter Holiday destination, a winter vacation and tourism destination. And skiing is a big part of that. I met with the guy who runs the cranmore ski mountain. They have, i want to say, crippled, thereabouts, the number of snowmaking guns that they have on their slopes, and they have gotten better at it, they make it more efficient, they make more snow. As there is less snow pack in the mountains, they are able to get around it by making more snow, but the reality of this is proven by the fact that they have to go out there and make more snow. As the New Hampshire official said, thats fine for the slopes. You can get out there and you can roar those guns
Path. What makes this storm unique is the scope of it. Seven states have declared a state of emergency. The city that never sleeps is shutting down. One of the largest blizzards in the history of new york city. The Port Authority will be closing the facilities at 11 00. Something no blizzard has ever done before. Blizzard warnings are posted in seven state us. The top five historic storms. 2 to 4 inches per hour. This is a different kind of storm. The most severe storm that weve seen in years, maybe decades. It is imperative that you have a plan in place to get home safely. It is slick out here. There will be visibility problems. Its looking pretty bad. My coat used to be black. Nearly 7,000 flights have been canceled. You aint getting out today. So dont bother showing up. It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Reporter good evening to you, i am in for lawrence odonnell. It is 10 00 here in new york city. And in one hour the citys Mass Transit System will shut down can c
