google. i'm lee dunn. i help run the elections team here. i wanted to welcome everyone to what should be an interesting afternoon. behind all the brilliant youtube ads launched this cycle, behind most of the creative debate one-liners and the best-staged town hall there is a brilliant campaign manager. today we get to hear from the campaign managers. at google and youtube, we're once again proud to partner with "national review" to bring you the program and inform all americans about the elections process. this promises to be an unpredictable and exciting 2016 cycle. americans are hungry to know more about the candidates. we've seen a 60% increase in election searches since the 2008 cycle. we're proud to do our part today by live streaming this event with "national review" on their youtube channel, so i hope you go back and watch it again. we're most proud now all americans can watch this event today, even if you're not part of the beltway aelite or living here in town. so now i want to turn it over to our host, the national editor -- or the editor for "national review," rich lowry. >

the state legislature with me, lee feinberg, and he brought this little girl in, five or six, i think, at the time, and we all bring our kids and show our kids off. you all remember that. state legislature, and here's this little girl jumping around and running around the chamber and everything. that was my first introduction to sarah. i watched her grow into a young lady, and then a most accomplished young woman. we're so proud. she's cut from the same cloth as we have in sylvia burwell. but today she set sits before the committee as the administrate of the federal railroad administration. i believe she's proven herself to be an engaged leader with the courage to make the tough decisions and the character to accept criticism that they often incite. she was baptized by fire by being appointed this year leading the. on february the 3rd, six people were killed when a commuter train hit a crossing. on february 4th th, 14 tank cars car carrying chemicals caught fire. then cars detrailed. they released crude oil and ignited a fire that destroyed a nearby house. could have wiped out a

appropriate course of action is in the future. >> on the offshore lees, you had a recent sale in the gulf of mexico that had relatively limit ed interest. are low oil prices, low bas prices sort of dampening the call from the offshore industry for additional leasing for more offshore production? >> well, given the results of our most recent sale in the western gulf of mexico, that is a reasonable conclusion to draw. you've got oil companies that v experienced significant drops in their revenues as a person person and a person that used knob the industry you obviously look at how much money you have available and where to spend your resources and when the money you have available drops a substantial amount you are pickier about where you make those investments and i suspect that is what has happened in the western gulf and i sthapt that will influence some of the feedback we receive on the areas that people are interested in pursuing in this draft five-year plan versus not interested in pursuing. oil prices, gas prices have a significant impact on that. >> paul bed dprard tard from th washing

time for one last question. >> hi. tim lee, fi consulting. i see that, you know, dave and vicky in particular touched on the change necessary and how policies develop, you know, how this data is rolled out. but i haven't heard very much about the cultural changes, the software, if you will, how to make this work within agencies. is there a strategy being developed for that? has the thinking begun in earnest on that question? it is an essential question in my view. >> so we spent a lot of time at gsa focusing on this voice of the customer and voice of the employee program. and really what we found at gsa and as we start to talk to other agencies as they get started, it is almost by default in government, if we want to tackle a problem, we write a long strategic plan and say something is wrong with the culture. i haven't seen that to be true in any example. i don't think people put on their ties in the morning and come to not serve the citizen. we are finding things in the eco system getting in their way of providing great citizen service. so our job and across government really the

of the major candidates, in fact, the lee just behind trump in the poll, rubio, bush and walker, were engaged in talks regarding boycotting a fox debate. in the event that trump was in the debate. in 15 or 19 states, the republican bosses, the republican establishment, can keep trump off the ballot with a stroke of a pen, so, trump i think, has said that he would only anticipate running as a third party candidate if he didn't get a fair shake from the republican party. the fact he was in the fox debate, he will be in the cnn debate at the reagan library, the fact the national chairman is coming to see him, those things indicate trump has gotten what he wanted. which is a level playing field in the republican party. also, in terms of the lodgistics of running as a third party candidate, in all honesty, at the very shortly, within less than 60 day, trump would have to change his new york state voter registration in order to be el vibl in a number of states to run as a third party candidate. running as a third party candidate, actually, as an independent, is enormously expensive and time

of the house. please welcome congressman lees eldon. >> love of country brought you all here today. that and being ticked off that the free world just got steam rolled. this iran nuclear agreement is american exceptionalism on an apology tour. we got played. just think of everything that wasn't even part of the agreement. iran overthrowing foreign governments, financing terror. unjustly imprisoning u.s. citizens like a marine, pastor and porter. pledging to wipe israel off the map and blowing up mock u.s. war ships and chanting death to america to name a few. iran gets tens of billions of dollars with no strings attached, money used for financing terror, to destabilizing the middle east. this is a treaty that triggered a nuclear arms race in the region and paves the path for a nuclear arsenal for iran. we don't oppose this deal to create war. we oppose this deal to prevent it. this is a fatally flawed treaty. americans aren't even allowed to be part of the inspection teams. the verification agreement still hasn't been presented to congress. not even secretary kerry has read it and
