you can have an entire funeral with a vigil, a committal at the cemetery, and still be cremated. that is an important piece of that. there is also sometimes a sense that people have the they just do not want a lot of extra things, and they don't want to be the focus of too much attention. you hear your mom say don't buy me anything or don't do anything special for me, and it is that feeling sometimes. what happens with funerals is that it speaks to an internal need that all of us have as human beings to mark that something important has happened. when we take a look at the society today, and as we talk, we recently had the terrible tragedy in orlando, and the death of some very beloved celebrities, muhammad ali and prints. -- prince, and the outpouring of people wanting to come together to tell the story. that is a very basic human need, and in cremation we had that need, and people still want together and remember, want to say a prayer or tell a story. we are very blessed with the christian tradition that we have this ritual. it is rich in the words and music, and the piecing to

exactly who tapped into the computers and which information was accessed at the congressional campaign committmittee. >>> the dnc got off to rocky start because of that e-mail hack. >> 19,000 democratic national committee e-mails were released by wikileaks after the breach. the e-mails showed that supposedly neutral party officials were favoring hillary clinton over center bernie sanders during primaries. as a result of that disclose showers party chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz announced her resignation this week. investigators think russia may be response al for the hack. >> donald trump spent his day campaigning in colorado and promising one thing after we race to november. >> i'm taking the gloves off, right? trump is going to be no more mr. nice guy. >> what set the republican nominee off. >>> bernie sanders didn't make it to the finish line he had a significant impact on how hillary clinton will run her race. see how republicans will now use that to their advantage. >> at both conditions lgbt issues took center stage. see how each campaign tried to appeal to that community and as we

campaign sanders brought a challenge to what is called the dnc rules c committe, whwhich sets a very's party functions, the ruleses, and basicacally createss sort of the template for how presidential every fourre run years for the democratic party. sanders and delegates brought a getlution saying we should rid of the superdelegate system. superdelegates are basically unelected party it links that are basically an equal vote per delegate versus every pledged delegate. roughly 15% of the total delegate count is superdelegates, and they tend to be party elites, such as former mayors and former elected officials. some actually are currently paid lobbyists either for multinational corporarations or for foreign governments. the sanders campaign argued that this was an undemocratic c setu, that hundreds of the superdelegates had pledged support before a single state hahad voted, tilting the raids n her favor, tilting delegate counts in her favor, and using their own constituent list to back her. that amendment failed. 108, thatlieve amendment was defeated. there were a number of folks at the

necessarily allies of donald trump and he didn't do the leg work to make sure his people would be on that committ committee. >> trump said that the gop convention may be where he launches his campaign. listen to this. >> it's going to be a tremendous success. the convention, so many people want to speak. >> i view the convention as a real starting point. >> we're going to, i think have a winners night. there aren't many winners but you take these winners and we're going to have them speak. >> what should we expect? we're seeing reports that he's having problems even giving people with real gravitas to speak at the convention. >> i don't think he cares because they're just members of the establishment. he wants entertainers and don't underestimate his ability to put on an entertaining show even though he's likely to have a lot of b or c list celebrities at the convention. it will make people like me and you think what is this because we're used to conventions going a certain way but the american public might see it as an entertaining tv show. >> if he's having problems getting speakers with gravit

about some of the investigations that he undertook as the chairman of the house oversight reform committ committee. i want to get into the irs a little bit. the government went after her money laundering and tell that story and it's fascinating. we have a wall that is pretty arcane and it's outlived some of its usefulness. it's $10,000 or more and the idea of that law is to look for the transactions. the figure would be about $39,000. if it was indexed for inflation is a chance of having a 10,000-dollar transaction. if you are a dairy ranger or any number of other professions and receive money in cash, you then have a problem, which is you may have more than $10,000 to send or receive and your bank doesn't want to have to go through this reporting, so what you end up with somebody will say that it happened in this case could you keep it under $10,000. there's 12,000 on the weekend so they can do this but when you do if you trigger something else which is the circumvention law which is that if anyone else tries to evade a 10,000-dollar input or output that's a separate crime if the fbi co

the next report up is the rules committ committee. there are eight states and the district of columbia who have filed a petition to throw ought the rules approved last week. they think they can still stop donald trump from becoming the republican nominee by filing what's called, or by holding what's called a roll call on the rules of all of the delegates on the floor right now. we're in the most crucial spot possible for that because we are standing in the middle of the colorado delegation. this gentleman's name is randy. he's one of the members of the delegation. you all recommend kendall hunter. what they hope happen is once the call goes up for the rules committee that these microphones turn on. that's at the discretion of the chair, right, of reince priebus. so you don't know yet if reince priebus will recognize you and those other nine eight states are going to be recognized. >> based on the history of the republican party, what they've done to dissuppoenters in the p is they've used heavy-handed techniques to shut out debate. th

it would have forced among other things unbinding the delegates who were committ drum. wd it becomes more that have -- committed to trump. we are going to hear the first of the speakers and set the tone for the rest of the week. host: there is some rumors if you're following the delegates some want to unbind themselves and vote their conscious. some are saying it is not over yet. there is an opportunity to embarrass the party, and there is donald trump, possibly with a moral call vote, forcing some l-call vote.ol guest: one move would be to abstain. you are abiding by your commitment. they would still abstain and therefore it would be embarrassing and drag it out. i may have to call you tomorrow s, messed thatoop up. people who attend these conventions are party loyalists. even those who are not real fond of donald trump are still saying, this is my party. they are not likely to be the kind of rebels that are going to embarrass their party. host: you are not the tune in and watch it and see how this unfolds. m.l. schultze, thank you so much. i appreciate the conversatio

this committe ignored that breach because it did not match the goals of house republicans. if our concerns today was finally addressing a broken classification system, in which security levels are arbitrarily up and down, that would have been a legitimate goal. that would have been a valuable addition to reforming and improving our government. after all, we are the reform committee. we could have held hearings here on the zika virus, preventing gun massacres like the one in orlando, and a host of other topics that can actually save people's lives. but that's not why we are here. that is not why the chairman called this emergency hearing, 48 hours after you made your recommendation. everyone knows what this committee is doing. honestly, i would not be surprised, and i say this with all seriousness, i would not be surprised if tomorrow, republicans set up a new committee, to spend $7 million plus on why the fbi failed to prosecute hillary clinton. director comey, let me conclude with this request. even with all that i have said, i believe that there is a critical role for you
