To wake up and say what the hecs, no one saw this coming. This is a big deal. A miracle from god. The most stunning primary upset imented eric cantor lost his seat. Obviously we came up short. Immigration was a big part. Local. I intend to serve out my turn. Leader. A new partnership wean google group. Delivering the largest collection of autism genomes. Theres over 3 billion chemical base. Google has an opportunity to be a real leader. We begin with an upset that stunned washington, giving Tea Party Supporters a big victory over candidate this season. Former rub kaun rising star eric cantor said he would resign as u. S. Majority leader following a loss to little known david brat in his primary. Ross caputi addressed reportsers after an emotional meeting with colleagues on capitol hill. While i may have suffered a personal setback last night. I couldnt be more optimistic about the future of the country. Im honoured that i had the privilege to serve and represent the people of the 7th district. He rejected concerns that he spent too much time away from his constituents. Thats one explanation. The list is long, from a tea Party Resurgence to eric cantors position on Immigration Reform. What is clear is the g. O. P. Is shaken, and the road to november elections got rocky. Joining us from talla hassy is republican pr man working on the 2008 campaign, and al jazeera political contributor michael sure. Rick, so much speculation on why eric cantor lost to the economist professor who never worked in government, virtually no campaign funds. What happened . David brat had hustle. He did all he had to do. Whether you have a title or a guy that is a regular representative. You have to run a campaign, do a functioning campaign at the grassroots. Youll hear what people say, what they are talking about, youll have voter kak, one on one contact. Its a priceless assets in a turn out scenario where they were looking to statementing between 45 and 60,000 voters. But that turn out lends itself to a guy like brat who goes out and wears through shoe leather, knocks on the doors, does the grass root stuff and addresses voters who are disonsent with the thing in washington. Do you agree with rick, was this political malpractice on cantors part. He had tonnes more money. Did he make mistakes, ignoring his constituents and spending money on criticising negative campaigning against a canted wellknown . I think rick was talking about the attributes of david brat. One thing that is not talked about is this was app open primary and there was motivation on the democratic side not the reason brat won by any stretch. There were a lot more democrats coming out and voting for brat against eric cantor. I think that was a big difference that a lot of people have not talked about. Top. That is something people come back to. Hes the majority leader. His seniority requires tanks in a different way to what average congress men do. While doing those things, most candidates, with respect to what rick said. Most do go out and do that and have a step hill to clip. This was anomalous. Congressman jerry lee said this about cantors loss and what it means going forward. Not only was he establishment but he was part of the compromises like what kept the government open much it was used against him. The message to us was negotiation or a compromise to get you beat. Peter king of new york echoed that saying the loss may mean more gridlock. That is a fact of the life because of harry reid, who will not negotiate with the house. And president obama, because he understands he will not get through a wishlist, that hell govern with a pen and a phone. Republicans will not be so shaken or thrown off. In three weeks no one will talk about this. No one will remember this. This is the issue that is appealing to nerds leek us, guys living in the political world. Average americans, if you ask the average voter what is eric cantors title, theyd say congressman or mr. They do not know these things. People do not Pay Attention to the squabbling in the way that the Political Class do. Except when it gets to government thresh holds. Theres a compromise. I thought we have seen those debts. Cantor was a tea party darl, he is a conservative. What does this mean. Party. In a sense, yes, it would have to if the tea party take credit. I dont know how they can. If you listen to what lead terry said from nebraska, this is about two factions within one party, and its fracturing the caucus, if you listen to him. Yes, you can say that people dont know who eric cantor is, i imagine most americans dont know who he is. We are talking about politics, and in the world of politics, it was an earth shattering result. Now the republicans have to figure out what to do. How to fill the spot. The speakership of john boehner. If it causes stagnation on legislation. Thats a huge problem not in 2014, but when it comes to immigration in 2016. On the other hand, the tea party supported brat, so did republican conservative pundits. In the end, is this a fuss about nothing that we are trying to attribute this to him being a bad politician and his district immigrationing as pointed out. The turn out was so small because only 5 of his constituents showed up. This is the kind of thing where we in the Political Class love to derive the implications to something that is fundamental. Eric cantor is distracted by the trappings of power in the inner circle of political power, and spent more time out of this district, and if you dont do the fundamentals, people know it, its the dog food test. Dogs will not eat bad dog food. No amount of advertising makes bad dog food taste good to the dogs. You have to go to the district, work, knock on doors, sometimes you go to town meetings and have angry voters tell you how they feel, and not have guys on the field say you are beautiful, and have a good looking head of hair thats what happens. Is lating and not getting to the core of the problems. The New York Times your described democrats as being ecstatic. David axel rod is saying not so fast. It may not be a good thing for the obama administration. Like with anything you say its great news. Theres always someone that says its bad news. Eric cantor was a northern in the side. A lot of people thought he stood in defense of wall street. A lot of left winning did not like eric cantor. Democrats. But the real reason that democrat want to rejoice is they see trouble on the other side. They see a real disjointed party, and that, to them listen, if you follow sports and see a team with an injury, you say we have a better chance of beating them. In the game of politics they should be happy that democrats are not there. We didnt think david brat would win yesterday. Its not a fait accompli that david brat will win against the development in december. The point is in response to your question. Democrats should be happy because if makes the republicans stop and reassess. As always, good to have you both on the show. While eric cantors defeat may have left liberals cheering and thrown the g. O. P. Into disarray, it could be disaster for immigration. A main attack was over eric cantors willingness to find compromise on immigration laws, and whether that was or was not the reason for the conmost power of the secondmost powerful in the house losing his primary. Eric cantors loss will pel the end of hope spell the end of hope of Immigration Reforms. Jij us from los angeles is joining us from los angeles, is strategist, and is an author you come a long way mainly. Great to see you leslie. After eric cantors loss, the word is that conservatives need to stay away from Immigration Reform, is it an overreaction. Polls show more than twothirds of the distribute supported reform. Polls show anyone in strong opposition to Immigration Reform, its a nonstarter, a losing issue for republicans to be ardently said to to reforming a broken immigration system. No one will sit in good faith thinking it is okay to have them in this country, why are they here, what is their indemnity. Are they paying taxes, and have a system that should be the immigration process. No one thinks this is okay. We have to be careful how to read the tea leaves on this local richmond primary said in terms of enforcing immigration. The reality is eric cantor never brought the Senate Immigration bill to the floor. He blocked a vote on an amendment giving dreamers green cards if they served in the military. What was supposed to be his Victory Party was besieged by a group of immigration activists, they were there thinking he would win. We saw conservative talk show hosts, conservative pundits hammering eric cantor on immigration on willingness to entertain compromise. As you know, encum bants would put off immigration because they were worried about challenges to the right. Is this still a big issue for the republicans . It is a big issue, theres a false narrative going around that anyone that touches Immigration Reform will pay a stiff price. And im arguing that its the stiff price not to address the issue of Immigration Reform. The reason eric cantor had so many challenges is he took path sides of the issue. Sometimes he was prorer form, voters were much smarter. You were right, you can have conservatives and folks on the left, both advocating that their positions were taken by eric cantor, at some point they were. That both well for a day like food when everyone can say it was because of this position. Pundits. We saw laura ingrim, ann kooulter. The right of the Republican Party is against the proposals that have been out there so far on Immigration Reform, an issue is that the border has not been secured. And until theres security at the border, theres no way to have Immigration Reform, as that position been helped by what has happened over the past week by an enormous influx of kids coming from Central America mostly and crossing the border into the United States. I hear a lot of loud voices taking all the oxygen in the room. If we do not address the issue and allow the president to unilaterally make the decisions or ignore the crisis he was aware of, the one you were speaking of, that federal authorities told the administration that they had floods of children and the president chose to look the other way, this is what happens when you dont take action. It encourages republicans to stand strong, take bold leadership and talk about what you are saying. Enforcement on the border. Doing something to league at his and have a system, how to process individuals who game here illegally. These are serious concerns, but have to be addressed. Lindsay graham, on tuesday, won his primary with 60 of the vote against six challengers. He was one of a gang of eight that championed pt immigration bill that eric cantor didnt bring to the nextdoor. Chuck schumer, a democrat from new york tweeted, saying tonight proved the g. O. P. Has two potseds on immigration take a main stream staps and win or right. I do. Instead of chiefed away you are agreeing with chuck schumer. Wow, thatll web. Thats true. You have to take a strong bold position, you cannot flip flop. You saw it with john mccain, with kennedy. When he started in the primary in 2008. It was a lot more difficult to take him seriously on the issue of reform. The truth it its the most important port. I dont think well see reform. Its too good a political issue to take money on. It puts them on cross hairs with labour and lat eebos. They are excited, its in opposition to each other. Also a lot of political prices to be paid. I dont believe the democrats are ready to step up. You. Thank you. Consider this this will be right back. Ri Al Jazeera America presents the system with Joe Berlinger parole someone is going to get out and do something heinous its goanna happen.

Download it now turning to a collaboration that could lead to breakthroughs in treating autism, said to affect one in 80 kids. Google is helping autism talk. To house their genomes of their siblings and parents. Making that available that cloud storage. Im talking to a former c. E. O. Of n. B. C. And the grandfather of a child with autism. This is a massive collaboration. The government is suspending 190 million on research with autism. What will you guys do that the government is not doing . The nih, at this juncture, does not support whole genome sequencing, believing its too expensive, and dont have the ability to do it en masse. It would have to be farmed out. That is unfortunate because its going to look old, that position, quickly. We have had we have determined that about half of autism can be traced to genetics, and the rest is environmental, which can bring all sorts of other things in it. Trying to focus on gen it ecks, 18 months ago we determined whole genome sequencing was the only methodology that we co employ because autism is difficult to deal with. If we could get the 6 billion pieces of information per genome, and get it processed, that we would have a chance to break down the autism from the spectrum down to individual outisms, a, b, c, d and e. Bringing in pharmaceutical companies, treatments, researchers from all offer the world. We found each other with google. They wanted to be in the genomics business they only started it less that a year ago, and we god toot on this and they said listen, well help you. You have all this material worth a great deal of time and money. Well help you on the sequencing, the cloud, and on the tremendous effort to bring all this information out and store it and manage it. Because it is a tremendous amount of situation that Research Hospitals and universities couldnt handle. Going the is one of the only places that can. Its 6 trillion pieces for 1,000 genome. How important is it for reachers to access that. You have a grandson with auto. I have a nephew and a niece. There are huge extremes one is high functioning, the other never spoke a word. There are different types of autism out will. How will this identify what is going on in the different cases. If we can find six autisms, if we have a genetic description and presentation matching, so the people in that had the same type of presentation of autism, wed have many, many researchers developing, looking at existing drugs that could work for the presentation, avoiding it, deal with it. Its about personalised medicine. Whi we did this, the mao clinic dove in and are doing it themselves and dana, a Cancer Institute in boston announced that they are going into this. They are trying to do this themselves, and, quiet frommingly, they dont have the ability to do that. The costs are huge. The costs for google are not the costs that other people will have, because they already have the. Computing capability. They have more computational scientists working for them than anybody does. This is not about the medicine at this stage. This is the computational ability, sorting through the data, making it intel imible and use when you are a scientist you have to come on to their site and do the work. You cant take it home. You cant take 3 or 4 bullion pieces whom. Its an incredible collaboration. What is in it for google . They are showing off the skills they have. I dont pretend to say what the business piece of it is. But the reality is doing this, three, four, five years from now. Theyll be unique in the world. People will come here from all over the world. If they want to have that as their business, they could do that. They are interested to show that the abilities that they have put together can be, can have a positive impact on major scientific research, and people say google and medicine and science dont go together. Listen up. Because they can do this better than anybody. This is looking at what causes autism and possibly creating genetic therapies, we are looking at costs that people are facing. Numbers that its costs the United States, between 23 and 262 billion a year. Parents. Most paid for by parents. Its costing the families between 1. 4 or 2. 4. Theres no disease as prevalent and nothing that you have to put so much of your own money into. Thats why i do this. We are seeing more and more children becoming adults. This will be a longterm issue for the yate to support United States to support the kids that will become adults and support families. What is Autism Speaks doing. What are you pushing the government to do to make sure people can afford to care for people that need it. A lot of it has to happen at the local level. This is schools. This is community support. Our communities embracing met them. The government will do so much, but they can do the medical side of this. They can do the insurance side of this. Our next stage with parents is to get parents to do so much more in the community. Its not hard work, but banding together their strength, potential strength, is greater than many believe it is. Well be the network in television terms, the network and they are the affiliates. Well Work Together from the top down and from the bottom up. From. Ill wish you the best with those efforts and the Big Partnership with google. So many depend on this. Most americans see childhood as a spec
