water some where? here we are. the school suspended him for violating a rule prohibiting the use of obscene language on campus. thank you. i'm trying not to spill it. [laughter] >> a majority of the supreme court upheld the disciplinary action, although i agreed that frazer did not necessarily have a constitutional right to deliver his suggestive speech at a school assembly, i thought it clear that he had not received adequate notice that he might be punished for doing so. the school agreed that frazer had violated the rule against, quote, disruptive conduct, unquote, but in my view the general prohibition was insufficient to notify frazer that his speech would list disciplinary consequences particularly as there was no evidence that speech has caused any material disruption to school educational's activities. in light of free expression protected by the first amendment and the interest in fair procedure protected by the 14th amendment, i would have held that the constitution barred the schools punitive response to frazer's speech. in 2007i dissented from chief justice roberts' opin

think what is impressive about this kind of model of journalism, it all too often escapes us here in d.c., reflecting as we should on the impact that the panama papers has had on letters sent by members of congress or senators to officials in nevada and wyoming. or perhaps a press conference that president obama gave. what we often miss here, that i think is equally important especially in light of the into corruption conference happening in london at the moment, what are the impacts of these kinds of stories? and what kind of investigator lives journalism, changing governments and lives in countries are far from america? we do not every day, unless you have obsessive subversion to new services like me, we do not ave access to sierra leone's president reporting on some of the west african colleagues dimon deals there. we do not receive regular updates into what changes are being made to botswana's nterest to public officials, based on reporting that our colleagues did. i find that one of the true benefits of this kind of global collaboration. it is a kind of benefit that i think is often

temporary direct safety oversight entity. the fta is here today to share with us what it's going to do to promote safety and reliability at the metro. congress can't legislate communication and can't buy a safety cull her. they have to take action on responsibility of providing safe transit in our nation's capital and has to be held account to believe the federal, state and local taxpayers. i look forward to a frank discussion. i'm going to yelled the rest of him time to congresswoman comstock. >> thank you, chairman. first of all, last friday when metro's general manager paul wiedefeld is with us today terminated 20 managers, seven of whom were considered senior. i think we all hope this is just the beginning of a new error of accountability at met trop. and i know our washington delegation all voiced support for you in this action. as well as a number of your recent actions. we need to find new ways to run this rail. i join congressman delaney on changing the board structure on that front. we're pleased to see more board members are more focused on being experienced board members. on co

being here. this is obviously a very important subject to us. i'm glad to see y'all because i have some important questions i have to ask you. i am proud of representing the first congressional district of georgia. that includes the entire coast of georgia. georgia is unique in that we have a lot of small airports, rural areas. we also, as you know, have heartsfield-jackson airport which is the busiest airport in the country -- in the world. that presents a dilemma but i want to ask you some questions and i'm very interested to know your response to this. what we've been hearing and what i've been hearing from a lot of the -- from a lot of the airport officials is that there exists somewhat of a disconnect between the -- between the t.s.a. -- the local t.s.a. officials, the airlines, the airport officials and then upper management. that management in t.s.a. up here in washington, d.c., if you will. have any of you experienced that or can you comment on that? ms. allin or whoever wants to comment. just very quickly because i have a bunch here. ms. allin: yes, mr. carter. i think it'

rhodes. we were the audience, us here. they were trying to get the bill , the iran agreement through congress. we are the ones getting all the information. i have to say i was never tricked by ben rhodes. to ben rhodes,ct in terms of the merits of that agreement, he was probably not as qualified as a mother people who are coming to congress and testifying before both republican and democratic caucuses. we had a list of experts. 78 nuclear experts, five former investors to israel, 29 nobel prize winning scientist, 36 retired generals come over 100 former u.s. ambassador's command over 500 iranian americans with experience in the u.s. and iran. 340 rabbis, 53 christian scientistshese test -- who createdsit this the first hydrogen bomb. we had stone cold experts on this. those are the people --actress sat with one of the experts from the i.a.e.a about what he iraq.t happened at and what they actually thought of the ability of this agreement to stop iran from developing a nuclear weapon. those are the people we also listened to. it was not been rhodes in some -- ben rhodes in some politi

that have brought us here before. i'm actually concerned about our problems. here is the problem that i am concerned with. if you have deep abiding mistrust of institutions, almost everything we know how to do a civic actors doesn't work anymore. the mean two things we know how to do in conventional spinning are to elect good and my pleaders to pass laws permit to carry them out and to enforce them or when we feel like those people are listening to wes, to show up, to march, to make our presence known in physical space and demand change and one fashion or another. so here's the problem when you have a 9% approval rating in congress, when you have a branch of government saying we are not planning on doing our job for the next year until we have an election. when you have successive congresses setting new records for being the least of all time, it's very challenging to convince people that they will be allowed to make change in the world by passing laws. and if you don't believe that washington right now it is capable of making major change in the world, it takes out this other br

for us. here, we have a sense this is bad for us. thepeople most hurt in united states are african-americans. they have -- they would have the jobs that are being competed away by illegals or by family preferences. so the american immigration system is crazy. just a confession of failure. it is based on something which does not make sense -- a family preference system. when people came over from the old country, the old sod back in -- now we have something like cell phones and cheap air for. it is easy to get back -- holland or ireland or wherever. the argument for family preference is not there. there is an argument for economic migrants. a countrye numbers, 1/10 the size of the united states takes in more economic migrants. 160 thousand in canada, 140,000 here. ais is not a way to run railroad. it is why it is such a political hot potato. that is just one example. host: what you think of the term "populism." not have a good feeling about populism, but i am beginning to think i am a populist. it is conflicting. it is a good way to construct your loss on how to make americans bette

have had a lot of hearings here, most of us on the other hand have traveled throughout africa and have seen a tremendous threat to stability there. why do you think the world focus is marceau on areas like the middle east and less so on areas like the regions we are talking about right now in africa? >> i will offer my thoughts mr. chairman. i think with the case of isil, they emanate from al qaeda in iraq and so there has been a focus in particular on that conflict ongoing. that is of course devastated those societies as well, and continues to. that of course built off of the historic origins of al qaeda from the middle east in that region, so i think think from a terrorism perspective the focus has generally been on that region as the core area where these threats have come from. it is not as just noted when you look at actual violence the groups in africa are committing extreme amounts of violence, boca her on a particular has targeted civilians and we report these, it is consistently in the top ranks of terrorist groups in terms of committing violence and destabilizing entire

been ambassador inate belgium. he has chosen, however, to join us. here, omarpleased, has been ambassador to france, canada, and most recently has been a close advisor to dr. abdullah. to his right,an, is another familiar face -- they all are -- here in washington. with the south asia program at the wilson center. panels.rganized so many and as you know from his own moderation -- moderating of panels, how well he is able to pakistanfghanistan and and south asia in general. finally, ali jalali. past, abeen, in the long past with afghanistan, which includes military service and was, really in the karzai -- ministeron, mr. of the interior but is currently a distinguished professor at the national defense university here in washington. player inery serious afghanistan. he is more than simply an observer. he is someone who participates actively in the affairs of afghanistan. i do not know that we could have aboutl, honestly, afghanistan today without having ali jalali join us. that, as an introduction, let me start. gentlemen, what makes this year different? posed byow being coming

turn? >> yeah. >> great. >> first off jim and csis, thank you for having us here. it's been a long time since seeing you but i know we go back quite a ways. i'm the private sector guy up here. i work with a company called fire eye. and we do incident response. you probably heard about us many times in the news. we also do services. kind of a big move. and it's an augmentation to the challenges out in the field with the challenges of workforce shortage and so forth. i'm also a late addition to the panel. i'm going to focus on cnap but also broader about some of the challenges with respect to information sharing. so just my background, i'll help you understand, i spent 16 years working on the state level with governors through the national governors association working on cybersecurity and cybercrime and so forth and also kind of was integral with the development as was andy on the development of the joint action plan for state and federal unity of effort. i come from a state policy background with this overlaid view of what the threat environment looks like. i really have four openi

. something all of us have a concern here that there would in fact be no meaning to a general obligation bond holders which is full faith and credit. so for that reason this bill this law should require that those priorities be fully put in place and complied with rather than at the last minute through some shell game be moved about. just like we saw in the general motors situation where priorities were turned upside down against law. i yield back. >> mr. chairman i yield back. >> is there further discussion? >> look, i'm going to weigh in with one word. because, to be honest, i don't know what to do on this one. originally i said this was can you believe. i'm now being told we may have problems if it goes forward on the floor. so -- i don't know what i'm willing to do. i will be willing to work with you on this particular language. if it's not adopted i will be working with you on this particular language. i think i am going to have to vote now simply because i don't know what i'm doing. >> the gentleman from louisiana i would be happy to support this if you would be willing to add at the be

grandchildren in order for us to do so, those of us who are here today cannot shy away from the issues that we face. we must work together to overcome these issues. freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, these are basic values that are shared by the g7. global peace and today, the g7 has a major responsibility. the world faces many issues. there is clear determination to cooperate and address these issues that we have confirmed with our g7 friends and have loudd to the world here and clear. worldggest topic was the economy. with the decline in stock markets worldwide, in less than a year, more than 1500 trillion yen of assets have been lost. although some recovery has been made recently and there is relative stability, there is still a great deal of murkiness that is agitating global markets. the reason for that, the biggest thatcomes from the fact the emerging economies are starting to show a slowdown. in the 21st century, the global economy has been driven by the growth and vitality of these emerging markets. when the lehman others collapsed and triggered a glo

about the new approaches being taken, it is hard for us to sit here this morning and say isis is in fact being contained which is what the administration has said on occasion. isis was called the jv and a bunch of guys in a truck. i think that was misleading rhetoric and if you look at what happened isis is continuing to grow. it continues to grow in a lot of respects. one is destabilizing affect in the middle east well beyond syria now. obviously we are once again trying to retake fallujah and we have more military assets going into the iraq after pulling out of iraq. i think we ought to also say they further destabilized europe. the chairman talked about the number of refuges moving to europe, many illegally, and we see what happened with the attacks in paris and jell belgium but it is beyond that. isis poses a greater threat to the united states based on everything we are hearing in public testimony. i assume you two would not disagree with that; that it is a greater threat than it was last time we held a hearing. their ability to reach out to people continues to grow. when you l

notification, 19 states require restrictions on right-of-way use. here's important one. 122 local communities restrict pesticide use on public property , 3m property including private property. our campaign is for pesticide free zones. clearly --ked breast expressed clearly in an ordinance passed in montgomery county. an ordinance was passed that affects one million people, that takes away pesticide use on private and public land. that preemption occurred as a result of the industry going state-by-state to preempt local jurisdictions after the supreme court upheld the right of local jurisdictions to restrict us to science. now we are hearing about zika. >> pesticides are poison. that's why i think you should come to this take meeting at the riverside church. .amous scientists will be there andalph nader is our leader we are pleased to have in their us today. thank you. [applause] >> then there are pollinators. heard about the demise of these pollinator. our job is to bring issues like this into the forefront. it takes years. those stories did not just appear on the front pages of newspapers.

this piece and i decided to use myself as a guinea pig. i took a cognitive test. what we saw here was a test for the physical effects of parkinson's, and the test i took were for the cognitive effects. brian: what kind of testing they give you? i don't think he likes it -- i it.t think you like td michael: it lasted about five hours. another time -- i mean, i think the physical side of parkinson's, they have a very clear standard, and they have a very -- they have a rating system. it is all very clear. the extent to which they have, what level you are at in terms of the symptoms. the physical symptoms. the cognitive symptoms, every test is different. mean, they take -- they use the same tests, and i have done it about four of five times. they are different each time. brian: we have a little more video from that particular operation. let's see if you remember this part. [begin video clip] >> this is the part where you are going to hear a lot of loud noise. it is not going to hurt you, but it will make your teeth chatter, a little bit, very noisy, ok? >> this is as far under as i am

for this hearing we reached out to representative fingering who i am happy is here with us today and shortly offered her introductory comments of her own. witnesses that are invited represent a broad range of perspectives and expertise but no in way -- in no way represents the entirety of the community representing this challenge. this is one element of the view and we invite members of the staff and other interested stake holders to attend an event later this afternoon in the hearing room on the balcony to see what organizations are doing to address food waste. that event will begin sat approximately 1:30 today. i will recognize our ranking member for any opening remarks he may have. >> thank you, mr. chairman and welcome today's witnesses and congressman fingery. i appreciate you are leadership on this issue. welcome to the committee. i'm probably not the only one who finds the term sell by and best by confusing. this confusion leads to a lot of food waste we see in this country and i'm glad that we're looking at this issue today. american customers are less connected to the farm a

have been a part of our process to get us here, but the effort continues, and we always say when a report comes out here halfway done so likely months more of actual advocacy and education work around the recommendations here. so, please reach out to us, dr. park and i, to figure out ways to work together to advance what is in here and the work you're doing using our bipartisan platform. thank you all for coming and for your patience staying overtime.

? oftentimes coming here one of the main barriers is reluctance of communities to use treated wastewater for those purposes. there was an image problem with the use of wastewater. i might have to say the phrase. the phrase that peter does not want me to say, but i have to tap."s "toilet to that is the way wastewater was branded for so long. the industry has moved away from that, as the panel here shows. people are coming around to it. it comes back to having a utility that is able to talk about this stuff with their customers, and having a presence in the community, so people in san diego have come around to the idea of water reuse after four years. it is on the utility. a lot of utilities are starting to do better with their .ommunications having mascots, water drops, big out tohings that go community events and talk with the kids. it is being honest about what is happening, and people will come around. mr. freedman: more education and outreach. peter, did you want to comment? it is time to stop calling them wastewater treatment plants, it is time to start calling them water recovery plants

gratitude that all of you are willing to be here today and help us to understand these issues better. i hope we can make some headway together and of course i'm going to do everything in my power to try and make sure that we live within the framework of the laws. thanks, mr. chairman. >> thank you. thank you, senator hatch. it's custom to swear the witnesses in, if you'll stand. do you affirm that the testimony you're about to give before the committee will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you god? >> i do. >> record will show they all answered in the affirmative. i'll go ahead and introduce all of you together and then turn for opening statements. chairman tom wheeler is the 31st chairman of the fcc, a position he's held since november 4, 2013. for over three deck id as chairman wheeler has been involved with tell me communications networks and services as a policy expert and advocate and businessman. prior to joining the fcc, chairman wheeler was a managing director of core capital partners, a venture capital firm investing in an early stage internet bas

this. wright brothers had taken that advice, i would have had to use a card to get here today. if this comes from a historical -- if this comes from it and authority figure, you might have a hard time discarding that. what iseed to listen to being said rather the end who is saying it. choicesmore difficult and terms of taking or discarding advice comes from when the advice is actually very well intentioned and it comes from people who are looking out for your best interest. let me give you two examples of this. when i was nearing graduation, i had planned along with my best friend to take a year off to work at a ski resort in sun valley, idaho. and then apply to graduate school one year later. i thought my plan was brilliant. when i talked to my graduate advisor about it, he was horrified. so i said, what is wrong with it? and he said that he was concerned that i would get out of the habit of studying, thought i would have a part-time job and get used to having money in my pocket, and that i would get derailed from my plan of eventually going to graduate school and that basically, i wo

can find a use for them here. some people may have noticed, we have real problems at home. [applause] larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: we do not need troops in 150 something countries in nearly 900 military bases. i would say that we do not need a standing army, but at the least, i will say that it should not be funded through theft and coercion. the military should be as big as it can be offered donations and bake sales. [laughter] [applause] larry: governor johnson, we spend more on the military than the next 15 countries combined, how large should it be? where would you cut? mr. johnson: i think we spend more than all of the countries come by, more than all of the countries in the world combined. i would look to reduce the size of the military. i say that it is offense and i would be looking to reduce expenditures by 20% and that would not be going back but a handful of years. i think that you need a skeptic at the table when it comes to military budget. the fact that we have 100,000 troops on the ground in europe, does anybody see logic in that, yet it continues to go on. as i mentio

for five minutes. ms. esty: thank you very much and i want to thank you all for joining us here today. as somebody who is a high school student, was in those metros when they were being built with my father was part of the construction team building them, i have particular interest in the legacy around how we maintain these systems. so a couple different questions. first, mr. wiedefeld, on the safety culture, who are you looking at, what organizations or what institutions do you think we should be looking at to have the safety culture that needs to be instinct? it needs to be instinct and i believe it needs to be from the top. there should be no substitute for that. mr. wiedefeld: i spent 10 years running b.w.i. airport. it is just part of who you are when you think about safety in an airport. and i'm trying to instill that. that same sort of philosophy. it is who you are when you work at the transit agency of the ms. esty: i would agree. i think checklist manifesto is something that's baked into every decision that you make. and to empower workers to see that as their responsibility

many people have received assistance you hadn't previously. know that a lot of us bear responsibility here. those who support the opposition, those who support opposition have an obligation to work with the opposition to work from breaking cessation or engaging in any acts that put the parties at risk. and russia have a particular responsibility that they assume at the same time we assume hours. we all signed the same agreement and support of the same un security council resolution for a nationwide cessation of hostilities and a nationwide full delivery of humanitarian assistance within all of syria. russia has an ability to impact us, the united states has the ability to impacted, and we readily acknowledge that and accept our responsibility. we believe this effort in the or so is key day to providing the ability for the parties to come back to geneva and engage in the real meat of this possibility of any kind of political settlement, which is to discuss the transition -- transitional governing body set out in the geneva communicate. as we work to get the cessation bac

delighted to welcome you here this morning. thank you for joining us. [ applause ] >>> we're sitting in the center of what we call "washington post" live. it is a new initiative that extends the reach of our journalism through live events streaming and pairs our journalists with leaders and decision-makers to dissect and explore the most important and compelling issues of our time. the idea of today's conference on transformers began with a conversation we had here about the transformation that is underway at the "washington post." we've gone from what was once a locally focused newspaper to a multi-platform digital first news organization serving a broad national and global audience. and although we've made amazing progress and in many ways leading the industry we will always view ourselves in the process of transforming and never fully transformed. because like so many industries, the media space is changing so rapidly that the process of transforming can never really be complete. with advances in technology, the speed and the scope of change is only increasing -- it is only accelerating.

. >> thank you so much for having us here. obviously it's very difficult for devin and i, not only do we travel overnight from california, but we're so passionate about this subject, and laws take time to change. they obviously need to change now, but getting that public service announcements, which is now happening with the opioeiai and heroin epidemic, getting public service announcements out there, recognizing that these products are available in candy form, in liquid form, in the vapes, in the e-cigarettes, in the marijuana type leaf. getting that message out there to parents. they simply do not know. i said i wish i could carry -- i have a book this big that is full of stories, full of stories from people who have lost their children either to death or to mental illness from using. people simply don't know. it needs to be taught in the classrooms. teachers need to know. physicians need to know. nurses need to know. counselors need to know. the public needs to know at large. and this is something that could be done immediately. awareness, education, prevention. and i'd like to als

not multifactor authentication for an online account, but here is a tool that we use. i know that some of the card readers may have encryption and other tools to help consumers online. from the white house is perspective -- from the white hese's perspective, whatever you can bring to the table regarding security, we want to see it. we do need baseline security. great. what i heard you say at the beginning, right now, it is chip and pin. camille: i think the president said that. you, camille. folkse will move to the to see what questions you may have for the panelists. we do not have a roving mic. please identify yourself and speak as loudly as you can. yes. >> thanks. yahoo! tech. usa today. if chip and pin mainly solves lost or stolen cars, what percentage is due to the fraud picture? fraud, half ofat it is online and the other half is in store. within the in-store context, the bulk of the fraud amounts to about 70% being the counterfeit card fraud. the remainder, a good portion of the remainder is lost or magstripeiz: fallback options. chip and pin would help solve counterfeit c

my colleagues. us, and you unt on know that, and that's probably why we're all invited here punch above use we our weight. and we will continue to do so after tonight's splendid dinner, we will definitely step up into a whole new weight class. [laughter] the ties between the united tates and the nordics are strong and go way back, as you said, nordic vikings crossed the atlantic centuries ago and discovered amazing america. and ever since, millions have -- and ever since, millions left our countries looking for a new start in america. settled in minnesota. [laughter] i guess the weather there made them feel right at home. [laughter] nd the nordic settlers took part in making america proud and beautiful. living johansson is just proof of that, and the finnish landers do nd ice heir part too, gave you julia roberts, matt da mon and uma norwegians, the ro.l, they gave you carl [applause] among many other things. thatguess it's true to say we have had a certain impact on america, in many different ways. is, can we question ordics still contribute to americas. simple, yes, is we can. [

before this hearing. general, i admire you for that. the deputy is no stranger to any of us here. she's worked on refugee issues at the state department, the united nations for i think over 25 years if i'm correct. it seems every time we have had an issue here you have been involved and i appreciate it. then there's a list of 48 issues and secretary blink and is involved in every one of the 40 with an expertise on the issue. i know from the president and others it has been apropos to them. now we look at the kinds committed some of the groups like isis. as you said we can limit the territorial control by these organizations to the use of the force that we are not going to defeat those ideas by bullets and bombs. and i think that the foreign aid programs can substitute the policies and strategies in places like the middle east and north africa which must promote to protect fundamental freedoms and if they don't, then they don't have a counter to the recruitment and those policies and strategies in the area are lacking. we support a wide range of programs that support these and they inclu

an educator. i'm trying to promote the syrian cause. i try to take advantage of being here in d.c. to attend events about syria and syrian refugees. i used to stand up in every event and say, look, i am syrian , i do not cause any threat that i am not a stereotypical perspective about syria, the people that you used to see in movies, that that guys who will bomb everything. silly to -- even questions or nothing -- but i want to make people know that, yes, there might be syrians among you and you might be noticing them and they will not do anything bad to you at i try be honest,-- i will joining organizations -- syrian organizations here -- they only -- blaming this park, blaming it isher part -- know isis -- no it is -- it is not like us, ok? it has been five years but i think nobody is right and the other is wrong. there is no ultimate villain who if we eliminate him, everybody will be happy, the hero will get the hair when and, yeah, and we have the and we have a civil war where people are fighting, trying to kill each other, so all we have to do now is try to save those who hav

model knows how to show it off. that is what is happening here. commentator: not many of us in washington know how to do that. mr. heyman: they need to have a seminar. -- there is fox. mr. heyman: it looks like the fox crew. commentator: you are watching the red carpet arrivals for the white house correspondents dinner. up.ill try to set [chatter] commentator: you are watching live coverage of the arrivals for the white house correspondents dinner. there is samantha augustine from usta from show -- aug the today show. twitter followers have called me out. had someone comments on msnbc. an anchor who is now on cnn. mr. heyman: cameron hall was very close to prince. there was talk she may not come tonight, she was very upset by his death.

regulations are what is killing us out here. look at paul ryan. this guy is pushing these h-1b visas to bring more cheap labor in here. to sit there and say there is no inflation, i go to the grocery store once a week. a loaf of bread is two dollars. that is ridiculous. do you consider yourself to be middle-class? caller: this year, i made under $30,000. there were better times. like i told you, i'm a pipefitter. we put pipes in the ground. the way they push the labor down, bringing these illegals into this country. we run a $19 an hour job down to $15 an hour. it has gotten so bad. things are -- it has got to stop. host: that is robert in maryland. guest: in general, the complaints about immigration resonate most in the construction industry in the following way. we have seen an absolute job loss in construction compared to the previous levels. that has nothing to do with immigration. that is the burst of the housing bubble. we have seen, and this is because of immigration, an absolute job last for native born americans within construction. there are a few nativeborn americans working

thank you for being here tonight to help to support us. in the end, donald and iran against each other for a little bit and after new hampshire, when we left the race, mary pat and i sat down and had a serious talk. do we want to stay out of the presidential race there forward, just let nature take its course, whatever happens, happens, or did we want to do something that was going to make a difference? we have been friends with donald trump for 14 years. we know him well and i said to mary pat, we never ever make in mistake by standing with your friend and donald trump is my friend. [cheers and applause] so, nearly three months ago he and i walked into a room together in fort worth texas and shocked the world. i announced my endorsement for president and there were all the skeptics and critics at the time who criticized my decision. well, they can come and meet the next president of the united states with me. [cheers and applause] and new jersey republicans are once again proving, if you want the republican nomination, get the support of the new jersey republican party, and donald tru

thank you for joining us. amy: it is great to be here. host: what is democracy now and what is the mission? amy: we started 20 years ago. we were the only election show on public broadcasting. in 1996, president clinton was running for reelection against bob dole and ross perot. we thought we would pack her bags nine months later and move onto another project. instead, there was more demand for, at the time a radio broadcast, than there was before the election. the demand kept growing. why? i think because we go to the grassroots, i got the call to host the show when i was in haiti, i was covering what was happening in haiti. andidates would announce some would be guns down -- gunned down. of overwhelming number people in haiti would vote. in the u.s., that was not the case, not even half of the people voted. i was interested why? i never thought people were apathetic and the country -- in this country. we could use the primary system to go state to state and see how people were engaged. it is those authentic voices, rather than what you get on the networks, those pundits who know

will take from up here on the riser. as to all students who get a chance to ask a question, please begin by telling us your name, your school, your class to your major, where you are from. think you can keep all of that straight? you are georgetown students. you can do it. a question from megan. >> hi, my name is megan. i am a second-year graduate student in the mccourt school. i am from south jersey outside philadelphia. thank you for joining us today. secretary clinton and senator sanders has spent a long time on the campaign trail discussing student debt and college affordability, which is undoubtedly a rising issue for many here today. both of them seem to have specific proposals on how to prevent this problem from perpetuating, but i'm not sure we have heard this and level of detail and commitment from republicans. what are republicans going to do to seriously and in a timely manner address this problem? speaker ryan: first i would be wary of empty promises that are not paid for. [applause] [laughter] sorry, dnc man, i have not made any promises. look at inflation and tuition.
