Im richard lui in for craig melvin on this saturday. We know who he was and how he did it. But why did 23yearold paul ciancia open fire in one of the busiest airports in the world . Obama care is a classic example of what people are tired of. Theyre tired of politicians like the president making promises that they cant keep. In the hot seat, the Obama Administration is promising to fix the befuddled health care website. Now the ceo of the first private Insurance Exchange is offering to help. Well talk to him ahead. A Community Calls for justice in Northern California after a 13yearold carrying a toy gun is shot and killed by a police deputy. Was his race a factor there . Well talk to a civil rights leader whos joining the call. And later, hiphop, humor and public health. Its todays big idea. Were going to start in the west where travelers at Los Angeles International airport are seeing an increased security presence today. It could be days before the airport returns to normal after fridays shooting that left a tsa officer dead and others wounded. Nbcs Miguel Almaguer has been covering the story for us over the last day. Good day to you, miguel, and whats the latest . Reporter good afternoon. We know that terminal three where the investigation is taking place where the shooting happens remains shut down to the public. They are allowing some passengers who were inside that terminal during the shooting to come back this afternoon to retrieve some of their personal belongings. As you know, this shooting took place yesterday at 9 30 in the morning. It was the middle of the weekday commute at the end of the week when police say 22yearold paul ciancia walked through the front doors of the terminal, pulled out an Assault Rifle from a bag and opened fire, first hitting tsa agents. They say it appears he was targeting tsa agents, killing one before moving on through the terminal, past security. About 100 yards deep into the terminal where police engaged him in gunfire. Officers tell us he was shot multiple times, then taken into custody. We know that at least one person is in Critical Condition this morning although we havent been told the identity of that person. The hospital cant release that information to the media. We know at least seven people were injured during this shooting. We saw passengers pour out of the terminal. They ran onto the tarmac. Many cowered inside restrooms hoping to avoid the gunfire and the bloodshed. L. A. X. Was disrupted yesterday to say the least. Some 167,000 passengers unable to make their flights or were delayed or canceled. That Ripple Effect were still seeing today as they push to reopen the terminal. It could be days. Miguel almaguer, thank you so much. Miguel will be back later with more on background of this shooter. Lets bring in California Democratic congressman adam schiff from los angeles. Representative, good to see you. In light of yesterdays shooting, do you think the tsa, tsa officers should be armed . I really dont think so. This is one of three terrible incidents weve had in los angeles. You might recall we had a terrible shooting at santa monica college. Someone drove onto the venice boardwalk and injured people. And now the shooting at the airport. We cant arm everyone where these events of gun violence take place. Going through the training and arming of potentially tens of thousands of tsa agents, i just dont think thats the course we want to take. I want to switch gears here. You said on the house intelligence committee, you wrote an oped in the l. A. Times. You called for changes to be made to the nsas massive phone data Gathering Program and say its the evidence that it has made us safer is limited. Instead it appears that the utility of the Metadata Program has been conflated with the success of other collection efforts. How do you determine how much surveillance, then, is too much . I think we have to weigh what is the size of the program, what is the magnitude of the collection and what are the results its getting . And even more than that, even if it met that test, even if the Metadata Program was very successful, we also have to ask, is it necessary to collect all this data or can the program be restructured . In my view, the program can be restructured in a way that has the Telecommunications Providers retain their own data. I doesnt require the government to get all that data. When we suspect that a phone number is connected to a plot, then we go to the phone company, much as we would do in a criminal investigation. So i think we can get the same information we need. We can continue to protect the country. We can continue to use whatever successes weve been able to derive from the Metadata Program without the necessity of gathering all this data. A part of this discussion is the source of many of these nsa disclosures, edward snowden, hes appealing to washington to stop treating him like a traitor. He made the appeal in a letter that he gave to a german politician who visited him in moscow. What do you think of snowdens request here . I think weve had a very important debate thats been kindled by these leaks. But i have little sympathy for mr. Snowden. Hes done enormous damage to the country. If he were a man of conscience as he claims to be, he would have in a civil disobedience way, face the music here at home. But he fled to those authoritarian regimes that care nothing about privacy. Part of what he is doing is designed more to inflict damage on the United States than to make a cause out of privacy. Part of that here, snowden offering to testify in germany about american eavesdropping methods. If germany grants him asylum there, what would you do to stop that . I hope germany wont make that decision. Germany understands just as we do that we cant have people working within our Intelligence Community or people working within theirs decide unilaterally, i dont like this policy and im going to ignore it and leak classified information. I think the German Government understands that quite well. If germany wants to interview snowden, they can go to russia and do that. Some of the parliamentarians have already done that. But i would hope that germany wouldnt do that. Congressman, thank you for your time today. You bet, thank you. Parts of healthcare. Gov will be taken offline for repair in a few hours. Its the focus of republicans in their weekly address. Too Many Americans still cannot even access the online exchanges and for the few that have, theyre experiencing sticker shock. The president told us that obama care is more than a website. I agree. It is more than just a website and the problems run far deeper than a few technological glitches. The Obama Administration says it is pulling out all the stops to try to fix healthcare. Gov, including drafting experts from google and other tech firms to help patch up the ailing website, this as we learn that only six people signed up on the first day and 248 people by day two. Lets bring in the chairman and ceo of ehealth, handled more than 20 million visitors last year. Good to see you. Thanks for stopping by, gary. Give us a sense of how this is more than a website . We have this graphic from xerox which lays out the exchanges. Where do you think they got the rocky start here in all of that . Were really not an exchange. Youre talking about ecommerce. And ecommerce is complex. Its not easy to do. You think about ebay and amazon, its taken years and years to get those sites, those ecommerce offerings to the point that theyre at. Its been the same thing with ehealth. Weve been at this for 15 years. Tremendously complex. I havent seen your diagram but im sure it looks like the plumbing in a Nuclear Power plant or something. It does. This is difficult stuff to do. And the governments tried to do it in a couple of short years. Theres a lot of good people in the centers for medicaid and Medicare Services in h. H. S. Working on this. But its probably not surprising that this is hard to get up and off the ground. And the real key here, however, to obama care isnt the website. Its got to work, obviously, and it will. But its enrollment. We have to get a lot of people enrolled, a lot of young people. And these are young people who are online all the time. They estimate 7 million for the first year. A big part is the system connected to the government. Irs servers, talking about technology that goes back to punch cards and the 1960s, talking about Social Security administration. Theyre stopping down that part tonight. How important is that functionality connecting to the stuff that goes back so many decades . Well, anyone who is subsidy eligible, lower income person, is completely dependent on that working. Thats got to work. I can imagine how complex it is. Were dealing with a lot of legacy systems here. Systems that go way, way back. And were really trying to connect them to this very modern today technology. Going to be a difficult thing to do. But if anything must work, that has to. The data hub that connects to all of those is down today. Is that a good indication . Youve done this before, been running it for 15 years. Is that a good indication of moving forward . Well, im sure theyre taking it down for good reasons. Which is to do repair work on it. But all of the stuff should be working now and should be working really well. You were on morning joe. You offered your expertise to the white house to help healthcare. Gov take up some of its tasks here. What kind of response did you get from the white house . Well, i think the white house and others are very focused on getting this site going, that is healthcare. Gov. And they will. Weve had some recent discussions with some people. Were operating in these 36 states today that the federal government is in. Anyone who wants to buy Health Insurance that isnt they did nothing like that say yes . I havent heard yes yet. Not as of yet. When do you think well know whether their tech surge is working . Theyre saying by the end of this month. Lets hope thats the case. Every day is precious with this. Gary, thank you so much today. Thanks, richard. One in seven americans are on food stamps. One in four of them are kids. Today, theyre all seeing the amount they get to buy food drop dramatically. Inside syria, the civil war there has left more than 3 million kids at risk. And now they face a foe many thought had been eradicated from the earth. Plus, president obama rarely ups up about his faith. Now were getting a new look at how the most powerful man in the world views the higher power.

Topping our saturday headlines, Climate Change could present a risk to the worlds food supply, according to a leaked draft report by United Nations panel on Climate Change. Scientists saying that rising temperatures will have beneficial effects on crops in some places. But globally, it will make it harder for crops to thrive. President obama has issued an executive order to create a task force to help the administration respond to Climate Change. It effectively Takes Congress out of the mix in Climate Change reform. The u. S. Ambassador to pakistan has been summoned to the capitol to answer to criticisms of yesterdays drone strike that killed a taliban leader in that country. Officials say the u. S. Is sabotaging peace talks with the taliban. President obama likes to keep certain parts of his life private. His family, his friends and his faith, until now. Were learning about one of his private practices. How the president has worked with a pastor to seek daily inspiration. The president touched on this earlier in the year. Take a listen. Every morning, he sends me via email a daily meditation, snippet of scripture for me to reflect on. And it has meant the world to me. Before he checks his blackberry and dives into the day, the first thing the president does, we hear, is read the meditation sent to him from the man dubbed the white houses pastor in chief. Josh Joshua Dubois joins us right now. Very good to see you here today. What was the last devotional you sent him and why did you send that to him . One of the ones ive sent recently was about joe louis, the boxer, who always bounced back even when he was knocked down. He wouldnt stay down for a count. It was a devotional meditation on resilience. Thats one of the ones that ive recently used. Did anything happen on that day that you can tie together with what you sent him about joe louis . No. Really i try to focus on eternal principles, i dont want it to be like the president reading his morning news clips. I try to get to bigger issues like how to grow closer to god, how to love our neighbors, things that both apply to the president of the United States but also to all of us. President obama right now in the midst of a challenging time in his presidency. Youve been watching it, his signature program, Health Care Reform, under a lot of fire. A large majority of the public in some polls thinking the country is going down the wrong track here. Where does the president s faith, from what you know about him, how does it factor in for him at times like this . I would say a few things. One, his faith gives him a sense of perspective that this is a long life we live. Many of us also believe in eternal life even after this one. There are going to be challenging that come and go. But you have to hold onto the fact that this is a very long life and well have positive moments even after the negative ones that come. His faith also gives him a sense that there are things that are even greater than politics. Even after a very busy day in the white house, he gets to go home to a wife who loves him and two wonderful daughters. I think that really grounds him as well. He said it means the world to me about those pieces of scripture, the devotionals that you send him. How did you react to that when he said, it means the world to him . I was very honored. This whole thing just sort of came by chance, by the grace of god when i first started working for barack obama. I had no idea i was going to send him devotionals every morning. I was helping him in his 2008 campaign. I saw that this was a person who had a lot of different support around him. I wondered who was thinking about his soul . I decided to send him an email. Didnt know what was response was going to be. But he said he enjoyed them. Youre no longer working inside the white house. Why did the president allow you to publish this very personal window into his faith, given how private hes been in the past . I think the president realized that the same challenges that he processes every day, from learning how to love folks who he disagrees with, to learning how to grow closer to god are the same things we all go through. If these devotionals have been helpful to him, perhaps they will to others as well. I think through the essays in the president s devotional, he get to see a side of the president we havent seen before. From mentoring me when my father passed away, to marriage in his life to difficult tragedies like that horrible day in newtown, connecticut. So i think part of the book is shining a light on the president that we havent seen before. I think thats a helpful thing. Talk about that day in newtown. How did the president turn to you how did he turn to the devotionals, to scripture, to his faith on that day to gain strength . It was an absolutely horrible day. Its one of those days where were really driven to our knees, to paraphrase president lincoln. Because we have nowhere else to go. A mindbending tragedy. I saw as the president was trying to comfort those families and trying to provide a measure of solace, i saw him lean on his faith, scripture and prayer. It was a big part of that day. Do you decide which scriptures to send him based on the ebbs and flows of what may be happening in the white house . I try to sort of disconnect from the daily news cycle. Again, send him something that will edify him beyond a given political crisis. But there are times and i note this in the book there are times that they have been key to particular days. There was a devotional that i sent that was related to his state of the union address. Another one i sent about Jackie Robinson on the anniversary of robinson breaking into the major leagues. So there are some occasions where theres overlap with whats happening in the news. But hopefully both for the president and for other people, theyll be more focused on eternal principles. You mentioned your father passing away. You mentioned that happened in 2005. You were in the white house at that time and you say this you write in your book, he
