we are thrilled and honored to have a former state attorney general in the current attorney general of washington, d.c. dustin will lead a fireside chat. i'll tell you about him, he is a partner in the law firm where his practice focuses on administrative law, regulatory affairs, government regulations and criminal law. from 2007 until 2015 he served as an attorney general acting as the top law-enforcement offici official. call racing is the first elected attorney general of the district of columbia. with his inauguration they began an air of independence for the agency and accountability to district residents. as the chief legal officer he relies on his 25 years of legal leadership experience to devise the agencies and defend the city in court, please join me in giving me a round of applause. [applause] >> thank you luther. thank you for taking time to be here with us today. it is a privilege to be here. i know you are a leader in the united states among your colleagues or consumer protection. it is important that you have taken an interest to the issues were gonna talk about today. >

the way. and was general counsel to the oklahoma corporation commission. done a lot, great to have both of you here and joined by general lundgren. let me throw out a general, open-ended question, first for you to comment on or bring up anything else on your mind, but what are your top, you know, two or three top of mind issues in arkansas and oklahoma? we'll start with you, lessy. >> sure. well, thank you, j.c., thank you to the republican national lawyers for hosting today's panel and inviting the republican attorneys general, mike and i, to be here with you all this morning. as j.c. mentioned i've known a lot of you all over the years, and i -- for me it's sort of like coming back to see friends and family. unfortunately this year i won't be able to attend the election law seminar this summer because i'm expecting my first child in august. so -- thank you. [ applause ] being married to a farmer he said to me, baby, that could be corn harvest. it's going to be harvest season all right. so that's going to be my number one priority this summer. but on the o

lita baldor with the associated press. general cloutier to you, can you tell us -- there's a lot of talk about -- and confusion about the mission that was sent out first, this -- the mission that they actually went on initially. if they -- if they had submitted an accurate picture of the -- of the mission that they were going to go after, would they have been equipped, manned or supported in -- any differently, any -- any greater level than they were with the mission that they sent to go -- to do a key leader engagement? with -- and would there have been more i.s.r., stuff like that? and then a follow up to -- to general waldhauser, you said you take responsibility. can you just tell us sort of broadly what you think you could have done better to either prevent or address some of those problems that were found? and have you done -- what have you done broadly on african operations? have you scaled them back, limited any authority of commanders, have you done anything specifically that effects operations in africa as a whole as a re

the attorney general appointed somebody. the person is accountable to the department of justice and the attorney general but has not , been confirmed. a special counsel is very much like that. the special counsel model is not new. they have been used over the years and what is significantly different is they are accountable to the department through the chain of command. when you are a special counsel, you have an ongoing relationship with the attorney general and we now have a regulation that provides supplemental guidance riod oflatively brief pe time. that is my short answer. important that the special counsel is accountable and that if there are any violations of department policies or principles or prosecution standards, they can be corrected because the special counsel reports to the attorney general. >> earlier this year, the department justice filed a statement. in short, the interests of the issue was a charge of exuberant security fees for figures on campus. department of justice filed a claim supporting the first a

as does the attorney general, to defend the independence and integrity of the department of justice. if we were to open our doors to allow congress to come rummaged through the files, that would be a serious infringement on the separation of powers. and it might resolve a dispute it would have negative repercussions in the long run. we have a responsibility to defend the institution. ron: the only thing i would add to that is that there is the president of the united states, which you are also accountable to. in those situations where there is a conflict with congress, how does the interaction with the president, how does that come into play? gen. rosenstein: well, there may be issues in which it is appropriate to consult with the president. i do not talk publicly with my -- about my communications with the president. there are certainly situations where we communicate with white house officials or with the president about issues that arise in the department of justice. we have certain roles about what we can and can't disc

election and say we point to the general election and say we can point to the general election and sayrth, the tote and value. —— totemic value. ken baker the tory party chairman was able to hold up the fact conservatives held westminster, wandsworth, even though the tories were having a terrible night elsewhere. because he got those results out early it basically worked in a way to eclipse the terrible night the tories were having in the rest of the country. and i think probably if the conservatives hold onto westminster, although few people thought they would lose it, they certainly won the expectation battle if not the battle ahead. great to talk to carolyn quinn. labour have just about held onto cannock chase, another of the areas, there was a strong leave vote back in 2016, i should say with the exception of places like wandsworth and westminster, places like basildon, they were areas with a very big leave vote in 2016 and you know we should see the result may be in that context as well, when we see other results from different parts of the country, creating a different kind of ou

the deputy attorney general did as well. the assistant general was robert bork who carried out the order. to the best of my knowledge, it was not unlawful. i don't think there was any regulation at the time that restricted the firing of the special prosecutor. i don't know all the historical details, but i think they all made what they thought were principled decisions. >> laura from cnn. thanks so much for doing this, mr. deputy attorney general. as you think about the importance of separation of powers on law day, any reaction on the news that certain members of the house freedom caucus have drafted articles of impeachment. despite your best efforts to comply with their document request? gen. rosenstein: they can't even resist leaking their own draft. [laughter] prof. collins: would you care to elaborate on that? [laughter] gen. rosenstein: i saw that draft. i don't know who wrote it. it illustrates the important principle of the rule of law. the distinction in the way we operate in the department. we make mistakes. that is

that's why in part the costs go up and generally the costs of the increases and labor costs from the citywide and m.t.a. labor agreements bring the costs up. i have met with, both, my staff and one of the companies and found that there are some opportunities that we may have to reduce costs. there are a lot of staff time dealing with tows of car share vehicles that shouldn't have happened. so one of the things that we're looking at is how to fix the process so if that doesn't happen, we can reduce the amount of staff we need to have to manage the program, we would be able to reduce the fees, but we are committed as a principal of our budget that fees for programs like this do cover the cost of administering the program, so we're not subsidizing essentially the programs. we don't want to have to reduce muni service to enable to private car share operators to have street access. we want the program to be successful, but we want it to cover its costs. >> supervisor stefani: thank you. >> supervisor yee: thank you, director. in regards to the $150,000 that you were talking about for the

in backing the s.p.f.? general mckenzie: sure. first of all, we believe that on the iraqi side of the border, they pressed up against it pretty completely and we're very satisfied with the way that's developing. in the ewe frafe e.s.a. river valley in -- ewe freight e.s.a. river valley in syria, operations continue. i don't believe that they've completely closed up against the border but they're moving in that direction and after a pause for a period of time, those operations have now ecommenced and are moving. reporter: could i have a clarification? a quick clarification about the phone call. did the secretary have the phone call with the president before the decision was made or after the decision was made? ms. white: listen, i don't know the exact timing. the secretary and the chairman are both out in colorado springs. they spoke earlier this morning. reporter: how long were those conversations? ms. white: i'm not going to detail how long they spoke. e secretary was aware and -- reporter: -- [inaudible] -- ms. white: so the secr

if you approve the item, the dollars fall to the general fund and falls in your jurisdiction how you see fit. >> i see the controller standing up. >> good morning, supervisors. he is correct. this really is a choice before the board in june. to the extent that you reduce this transfer to the general fund and leave these funds with the m.t.a., it would provide additional resources with the m.t.a. create another challenge on the other side of that in your deliberations regarding the june 1st budget in the general fund. simply needs to balance as part of your kind of final determinations about how you want to spend general fund money. >> and a one-time source of funds, going forward, we could expect the numbers to be probably a fifth of what these are, so, if we were to use these funds for this agency or any other agency, we would we creating a shortfall in the out years as well. >> only other option then for you to find the money in your $1.1 billion budget, is that correct? >> that is correct? >> right. so, we -- we could cut muni service, for example, to fund, to pay should we renegot

, the reasons for it are to general keep with the accounting rules and voter approval of the bond terms and there may be covenants as well in the debt issuance. so, i will certainly look into this and i'm sure the controller office staff are working with m.t.a. to try to smooth some of the processes and make it quicker. but there are government accounting rules, subfunds in particular. we hope it would not interfere with something that would not go well and smoothly like cash flow, but usually a reason in the bond covenant that requires subfund separation. but we'll look into it and work with m.t.a. >> and i appreciate there are requirements perhaps at the federal level to which you have to adhere, but the board of supervisors, london breed, held the hearing and complaining we are not spending the money quickly enough. here is one of the reasons. and another reason, the need to coordinate between the departments. doing work you guys are trying to coordinate and often times they are the scheduled driver. like their permit process

the attorney general notified our u.s. attorneys thatit he wanted them to be more aggressive and pursue cases of people who make false statements in the course ofs. buying firearms. often, or primarily this represents that they have nomi disqualifying conviction when in fact they do and so that guidancegu goes out and the two relevant agencies are the united states attorneys andol the bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearms explosives which is responsible for investigatingim these crimes and so in order to implement this policy, i am responsible for overseeing those agencies and making sure the atf agents are devoted more resources to investigating the cases and r the federal executors are devoting resources to prosecute them. it's relatively new so it's see results but you would anticipate over the next six or eight months we will see an increase in the number of false statement cases brought related to firearms purchases. >> another deletion from the u.s. attorney, as i understand it, from the manual concerned racial g

and on the attorney general's advisory committee. he personally litigated cases in the united states district court and the united states court of appeals for the fourth circuit. the only thing that mr. rosenstein did not do, during his time at harvard, he did not become a fan of the red sox, the patriots, or the celtics. [applause] [booing] because he was too busy. [laughter] despite that, it is my honor to bring up deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. [applause] attorney general rosenstein: thank you for that kind introduction. i enjoyed meeting you and your colleagues in chicago. thank you for coming to my neighborhood for dinner tonight. jim, i admire your commitment to the cause of justice. i am grateful to molly craig, the chairperson for this event, and to andrea looney and staff of the lawyers for civil justice. your organization works to promote fairness in the civil justice system because your members rely on the rule of law. this is a fitting time to discuss the rule of law because may 1 was law day in the united states.

>> the impeachment of the attorney general or the deputy attorney general is a very -- the very lastsource of anything. contempt would be the first step in any of that. theyu know, chairman -- put out a statement that related ontheir visit at the doj friday. in that statement, i do not know if there was illuminating in terms of that statement, but it said in in a direction that what we are going to do is continue to press this issue. we believe we will get the documents we need and if not, contempt andf impeachment are still on the table. there is one that i can handle on my own which is impeachment. contempt would take our leadership getting involved. it is my understanding the speaker is willing to support the american people and the institution of congress and standby and make sure that we get the documents that we deserve. >> does this extend to the attorney general as well, jeff sessions, does he have some answers to give or some people have been talking about contempt for the attorney general. >> that is because the subpoena had to go to the attorney general. in that, it is my

those born between 1911 and 1925 are part of the greatest generation, many of whom would have fought the next group is the silent generation —

i will let the general expand on that. lt. gen. mckenzie: particularly the infusion with the recent budget will let us address concerns, all of which will improve the readiness of forces, including forces that could be called upon to deploy and fight if we were called upon the korean peninsula. we retain a high state of vigilance in response to the dprk. that includes our missile defense activities. anticipate missile provocations now in light of this? lt. gen. mckenzie: i could not speculate. we will be ready if it happens. you said general there was a high state of vigilance in north korea. is there a heightened state of vigilance? -- aen. mckenzie: no, i high state of vigilance we have always had because they are unpredictable in the past. it is the normal state of vigilance we maintain. >> the cancellation of the planned summit has not affected the military posture in any way? lt. gen. mckenzie: not in any way. ms. white: stephanie. >> the president mentioned he spoke to secretary mattis and joint chiefs of staff and japan and s

the next group is being called the silent generation — born between 1926 and before the end of the secondand early 60s. the post war baby boomers is the next group — they were born between 1916 and 1965 — their early adult years were in the late sixties up to the early 80s. this generation have reached or are soon reaching retirement age. those in generation x were born or are soon reaching retirement age. between 1966 and 1980 — this group are probably the last generation to grow up in a pre—digital world. millennials are classified as being born between 1981 and 2000 — those in this group are now reaching young adulthood. and finally the group born after the millenium up to today are being called the latest generation. i'm joined now by torsten bell who's the director of the resolution foundation — the organisation behind the report. our headline today, a payment of £10,000 to be given to the young and pensioners taxed more? can you explain this thinking. we've taken a long hard look at britain in the 21st century, different challenges facing every generation, notjust the young. the old

the general mood in the party of the night was pretty good, i have to say. and see. why are you laughing, tom? it would be cruel, i was trying not to but it seems to me the lib dems... they have done all right in some areas but are not really breaking through. i don't really know what they stand for. where have we not break through? we can only fight in the places that are up. in places like sunderland, where we went from four to over 60% of the vote. in places like liverpool and hull, we are taking seats for labour and the tories everywhere. i don't want a row with you about it but it seems you haven't broken through and you are not particularly relevant. lets see if there's any sign of a breakthrough in milton keynes. tom, a quick update on the contest in milton keynes? yes, here they are still declaring results. we are about half of the way through. they declaring a conservative target seats, which has been held by labour. i can tell you there is one seat here which has changed hands so far. it might not sound like much, but this council going into this e

the gap is widest within the younger generation. six out of ten college students are, our survey shows, would fundamentally reform the military or do away with it. only three of ten non-college youth agree. one-third of college students say patriotism is different in their scheme of values. nearly twice as many young non-college people say it is. and the focus of dissent against the military, especially on the campuses is draft resistance. a clear majority of students approve resisting the draft if they feel for a war that is morally wrong. >> i will support and defend. >> seven out of ten non-college kids believe draft resistance is basically wrong. for all young people, the choice is an agonizing one. >> i don't think anybody should be forced into something they don't want to do. i don't feel society should make someone go fight or kill anybody because they don't go along with it. maybe a professional army could do away with the problems we have as far as draft resistance goes. i can't see taking 18 and 19-year-old men out of colle

coming up next, you're going to hear from the consul general of israel, dr. y david and whether practice of tikkun olam is a global example of building bridges of friendship. >> "repair the world," working in places like africa, like latin american, like asia. so wherever there's a need, if it's agriculture, food security public health, gender issues, small to medium enterprises just helping people to create their livelihood... taco taco are you one of the millions of americans living with a taco obsession? my $3 taco deal with three of the tacos you love and a refreshing drink can help. try my $3 taco deal today. clear! taco! taco! new at jack in the box. has your love for tacos turned into an obsession?. my $3 taco deal with three of the tacos you love and a refreshing drink can help. try my $3 taco deal today. new at jack in the box. there ya' go. >> my next guest is dr. andy david, the honorable consul general of israel to the pacific northwest and a long-time friend and colleague. we've worked together raising awareness about a lot of issues. how importan

i want to thank you very much for the many questions you have had generally and particularly to the library. they are not used to being in a forum where they don't control everything, and their responses were very interesting. let me make some general statements about radio frequency identification, $3.4 million project they want to install and then spend about $200,000 a year for the next ten years supporting. first of all, rfid kills patron privacy, enables a tag of the book to be read without the knowledge or consent of the person carrying the item and it can be read through clothing and a closed container like a purse or briefcase. rfid, second of all, a huge security hole and that is it leaves the library wide open to massive and undetected losses from people who may intentionally or unintentionally have a very inexpensive and readily available material that they can basically put the books or other materials into or have it adjacent to, and that blocks the signal so that the reader has no idea what's going out the door. rfid poses potential health risks from radio frequency radiation.

you could see the younger generation. my husband fought in the war, so this is the way i feel. >> i think the united states should stop playing policeman to the world and by war, our territorial integrity will be in some way threatened. that hasn't happened for a long time, not since world war ii, really. john: janet buckley speaks for the majority of noncollege youth who feel we should fight to contain that we should fight to -- we should fight to contain communism. >> i know people always say, which is better? i think that if other countries are trying to conquer the territory and things like that, we should go in to defend, try and keep communism from being spread more. >> i don't think that that really means anything. there is a number of things you have to define when you say "containing communism." all those questions i don't feel are dealt with. people just say, deal with communism, like that. everybody says that should do that, and that makes everything ok. but it is not this monolithic plague that is injected into

they took it at the general election and i5 have these moves. they took it at the general election and is a seat where they had to make progress but to lose support on the council will be worrying and the kind of place the tories will be cheered by. in dudley, it sounds like the tories have taken dudley, a marginal seat.

i need principally tom miller was then the attorney general of iowa and myself and the then assistant general for antitrust, and his name as you know, joe klein. at the time, jack was doing wo work, really extraordinarily able work and microsoft representative here but he was virtually alone and the company was run in seattle and it was at that point very much under the control of the view of washington that predated the present level of disillusionment shall we say and content. he had very little o use for antitrust enforcement or washington, d.c. and his view may have been well-founded, but we asked for a serious response to some of our negotiating proposals. we felt it wasn't a positive response and we spent about a week going back and forth, almost a week, about for working days working with his general counsel at the time, seeking to avoid litigation and that effort waif thateffort was not successe went to court and encountered a lot of skepticism about whether antitrust law could be applied to the internet age, whether this new form of technology should or could be subject to th

the windrush generation was my parents' generation. eve, and most british people believe, and most british people believe, that they have been treated appallingly and he will be judged not on the statements he makes this afternoon, he will be judged not on the statements he makes this afternoon, he will bejudged on not on the statements he makes this afternoon, he will be judged on what he does to put the situation right and getjustice he does to put the situation right and get justice for the he does to put the situation right and getjustice for the wind rushed generation. the home secretary told diane abbott that he's angry too. like i'm also a second—generation migrant andl like i'm also a second—generation migrant and i know she shares that angerand she migrant and i know she shares that anger and she should respect that other people do, she doesn't have a monopoly on that. i welcome the home secretary to his place and congratulate him on his appointment, i think it's only right to acknowledge the fact he's a first person from a bla

meadows: i can tell you the impeachment of the attorney general or the deputy attorney general obviously is the very last source of anything. contempt would honestly be the first step in any of that. as you know, chairman nunez and chairman gowdy put out a statement related to their visit at the department of justice on friday. in that statement, i don't know it was very eliminating in terms of that statement, but it also set in a direction that what we are going to do is continue to press this issue. we believe we will ultimately get the documents we need. if not, those tools of contempt and impeachment are still on the table. there is one i can handle on my own which is impeachment. contempt actually would take our leadership getting involved in it is my understanding that the speaker is willing to support the american people and the institution of congress and stand by and make sure we get the documents we deserve. mike: does the attorney general have some answers to give with people talking about contempt citations? rep. meadows: i think part of that is because the subpoena actually

the deputy attorney general did as well. i don't think there was any regulation at the time that restricted the firing. i don't know all the details, but i think that richardson made what they thought were principled decisions. >> laura from cnn. as you think about the importance and -- of separation >> theys, interaction can't even resist leaking their own draft. >> i saw that draft. i don't know who wrote it. importantates the principle of the rule of law. we make mistakes. the way we operate is if we can accuse someone of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence and be able to prove our case in court and fix our signature to the charging documents. there's a lot of talk about liza applications and many people i see talking about it seem not to recognize what a pfizer application is. it is like a search warrant. in order to get a pfizer search warrant, you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement. , that person is going to face consequences are rated if not, you can face discipline or even prosecu

after years of frustration with his commanders, the president may have found a general who can defeatrate army -- ulysses s. grant. >> retreat! retreat! >> grant's victory at vicksburg divided the confederacy along the mississippi river, and when union forces prevail at the battle of chattanooga, it secured his future as a man who lincoln could count upon to lead union armies to victory. [ indistinct conversations, laughter ] >> believing that grant is the man who can beat robert e. lee... >> well, and here's the general grant himself! >> ...lincoln puts him in command of all union armies and brings him to washington. >> i'm sorry to spoil your party, mr. president. these gatherings just aren't my cup of tea. >> you can't blame the people for wanting an audience with their new lieutenant general... and perhaps their next president. >> even though he had found his man to win the war and end slavery, he also wanted to make sure that ulysses s. grant did not harbor political ambitions of his own. >> you know as well as i do the talk of you running against me is growing louder every day.

the gap is widest between niagara generation. six out of 10 -- between the younger generation. college students would reform the military or do away with it. only three of. 10 noncollege students agree. >> just one third of college students a picture to them is very important in their scheme of values. nearly twice as many noncollege young people say it is. dissent against the military, especially on the campuses is draft resistance. a clear majority of students approve resisting the draft, if they feel that it is for a war that is morally wrong. >> i will support and defend. john: seven out of 10 noncollege kids to leave draft resistance is basically wrong. for all young people, the choice is an agonizing one. >> alan thicke anybody should be forced into something they don't want to do. -- i't feel that society don't think anybody should be forced into something they don't want to do. i don't feel that society should force people to kill somebody. maybe a professional army could do away with the problems we have as far as draft resistance goes. -- i cannot see taking 18-year-ol

cheaper than operating the existing diesel generation. am i missing something? >> by all means. let's get back to the material question. >> why can't you. >> they talked about the inventory is not a problem anymore. what about in three or four months if we are hit again. is the inventory there? they fixed what was broken the last two or three months, but what about if we get hit again. are we going to go through this again? of course, if we own our generation, we will have the inventory available to fix our problems. >> what are the barriers to your members being able to own their own generation, their own storage, their own behind the meter distributed resources that ben cannot only support your members but in an emergency prefer potentially provide services back to the grid. >> not just in an emergency because we could decide that in order to share our success with the community and other components. we could decide all of this in a proper way to help everybody in puerto rico. >> why can't you do that today. >> we have not been able to d

he then served as counsel to the deputy attorney general and special assistant to the attorney general 94 and 95 and associate independent counsel 9597 and in 1997 mr. rosenstein became assistant u.s. attorney and prosecuted cases in the united states district court u.s. court of appeals for the fourth circuit and coordinated the credit card fraud and assistance programs. 2001 through 2005 served as principal deputy assistant attorney general for the tax division of united states department of justice. supervising the criminal section and the coordinated attacks and enforcement activities to united states attorney's office so with the acting head of the division on the assistant attorney general is unavailable personally briefed and argued through civil appeals history rosenstein stirs served as the attorney for the district of maryland 2005 through 2017 through civil litigation to implement federal law enforcement strategy in maryland while u.s. attorney he served as washington drug trafficking area task force on the attorney general's advisory committee personally litigated cases in

so a little bit more about how we're conceding of the task force. in general it's called the municipal bank feasibility task force, and i have feasibility with a quark here because we really don't think that's the right question to ask. a lot of jurisdictions -- including jurisdictions we're very friendly with and talk with, they've got into a task force, they've done a feasibility, and they said nope, it's to expensive. it's too complex. there's these legal issues. like, can't do it. i don't think and we don't think that that's the right question. we know a bank is feasible, we know it's going to be expensive, we know it's going to be complicated, we know there are state law questions, but rather, the question then becomes, is this a good policy. what we hope to produce out of the task force is a robust and thorough analysis, a real cost-benefit analysis so that board of supervisors and ultimately the members of the public, they can decide whether they think this is good policy. and part of how we determine that is based on what we're trying to get out of it,

it's the police commission that makes the updates to the general orders, not the chief or the command staff. what do you consider to be your area of expertise? you obviously have come with a series of experiences in oakland who has a police department that has like phoenix, risen above the horrible acquisitions that plagued the department and now they are actually one of the regions best law enforcement agencies, particularly paying attention to the decreased number of use of force officer-involved shootings. i certainly think that the opd could serve as. >> sure. so, again, once we -- once i got into the oakland mayor's department we had a number of use of force incidents and the federal judge with the negotiated settlement agreement. we did everything that we could to make sure we address use of force, talk about how we dealt with chases and pursuits and also how we worked on body cameras so that we could have fewer instances of use of force. so we definitely saw some changes in that area. also it was important for us to look at bias into why use of force were used most often with c

the road? >> in general, it's a very important source for the fbi. the fbi has lots of informants who give them very valuable information. and when they do so, they are assured of confidentiality. their identity is going to be protected. and so this informant is -- i believe is at risk right now and of course i would guess this will have a chilling effect on other informants who already work with the fbi and certainly make it more difficult for the fbi to recruit other informants. >> in the new book "facts" you talk about the vital role of confidential informants. you say it's essential for people working in the intelligence community to stay true to the key tenets, serve truth to power even if the power doesn't listen to the truth. how can they do that if the power doesn't listen to the truth? >> well, they have to keep -- the metaphor i've often used, the intelligence community needs to keep shoveling that intelligence coal down there in the engine room. this places a great burden these days, i believe, on leaders of the intelligence community. not

a decade ago, also a time of change, the young were called the silent generation. now we have seen they are loud, aggressive and sometimes violent. why is this of people taking place now? >> several reasons. one of the reasons is that in many cases, they have tried other things and nobody is listening. this is true at some universities. students try peaceful petitions and marching and have not been heard. people say their opinion is worthless. at that point, there is a question of what you do. the chief social and political reasons which are to twooday pertains , the racialms problem and the word be -- the war in vietnam. not so much that it is a war but that it is a losing war. >> one of the reasons why the difference between the generations is so intense now is since the endeen of world war ii, in an intensely materialistic stage and it has gone so far that it makes young people say there must be something more to life than just money and cars and television. >> they know we've got to build a planetary society. i know we've got to face the fact that we have -- tha

the generation is troubled by a maintenance issue. it is troubled by being reliant on oil, which is both environmentally and cost wise a difficult commodity. in addition, there's not enough generation where it needs to be and in some cases there is too much where we don't need it. the grid needs to be rebuilt. and he is to be rebuilt not just the wires, but the generation needs to be rebuilt and as they change it out and i agree in that regard we should be relying on customers to generate themselves. we should be allowing customers to want to self generate to do so. we need to interconnect with them safely such that the grid is still safe. the workers can work without danger and is able to supply what the new world will they are capable of supplying for people to don't want to do it themselves or when it's more economic. >> you have a current policy for retail or four large commercial users? >> as i understand the retail policy, not spent a lot of time looking into that in my short time there. a customer in order to be a retail solar c

the general primary system. are you concerned that that potentially could lock democrats ,ut of some key house districts usually big pickup opportunities for democrats? ms. pelosi: you guys want to talk politics. what is this? we're under the dome. we talk policy here. in terms of a civics lesson, not the politics so much, the california system, the general primary, is something that is called a reform and i remember years ago the senator had said, if they call it reform, it's not. and this is not a reform. it's terrible. it prolongs the process, costs more money. it's really -- it schutz out smaller ms. pelosi: so i don't recommend it as a policy matter. in terms of the policy, we have so much enthusiasm this year. candidates running all over the country. running a jungle primary, you can end up with a result that ends up with the concentration. but our chairman has worked very hard all over the country to we have emerging the best possible candidate, and are recruited. they know their purpose, their subject. t
