of coming in to us right now and it s really fascinating when you look at how these networks that take nuclear material from the u.s. and then provide it overseas. two men have been indicted. a citizen of iran and a resident of china are being accused to try to obtain and illegally export these u.s. materials toer rang. and they re used to construct, operate and maintain gas center fudges. there was a statement that was released by lisa monaco. she s the assistant attorney general iranian networks continue to target u.s. and western companies for technology acquisition by using fraud front companies and middle men in nations around the globe. so essentially the citizens of people who are doing things like this are setting up fake companies, trying to buy materials from the u.s. and then slip them into iran and obviously with iran s nuclear programs right now, you can see the concerns with that. one other thing that came out in this, some of the details against these men in pa
no points for the movie reference either. let s get to a question of why another vote to repeal obama care. it is an instant death in the senate so why do this? you just have to look at the calendar to answer the question. we talk about it so much now that so much of what they do particularly here in congress at this point is because of politics. if you look at the polls it shows that this country has been split along party lines since the inception of this legislation. what republicans and democrats want to do is to get out the vote and get out the base and explain how important this is. i want you to listen to some of the debate we have heard on both sides during this. welcome to groundhog day in the house of representatives. this majority needs to stop working to put american families at risk, start working to make our economy healthy. the american people don t want it. the longer people have to know this bill the more intense they are in wanting to see it repealed.

huge development from the world of medicine. the government signing off on a bill designed to fight obesity. it tricks your brain when it comes to eating. i want to talk to elizabeth cohen about this. i m sure some people are thinking magic pill, perfect. there s some good things the about it, but i want to be careful. it s an appetite suppressant. it tricks your brain into thinking it s full, but it s not. let s tyake a look. they studied 7,000 people and they weighed about 220 pounds. during the course of the year they lost 13 pounds. they went from 220 pounds to 207 pounds. that s a good weight loss, and their blood pressure went down and that cholesterol went down. doctors tell me this is good, but it s not, they still, many of them had more weight to lose. it didn t take cake of their obesity, necessarily. just to underscore the significance. this is the first time in like 13 years an obesity fighting pill has opinion approved by the fda. who was it approved for? how
