general counsel -- on amy: explain who they are. >> lynn how brooks, the acting inspector general.nd henry shelley, the general counsel, the one who said, we screwed up -- since this is a family prorogram -- and he said they have been destroyed and routine purge. governments do have to purge a lot of information, but you don't purge top-secret documents . to make it worse, they then lied to the federal judge in this case about that, assuring the judge that it was -- the documents have been lost in a routine purge. that is a felony. you cannot lie to a judge in a federal case. you cannot destroy documents. that is called obstruction of justice. that is really why these two individuals now are in legal jeopardy. the office of special counsel, which is an agency inside the u.s. government that investigates all of the whistleblower issues throughout intoovernment, they looked the allegations of john crane. in march, the issue the report and said there is "substantial likelihood that mr. crane's allegations are correct." that is the highest threshold of proof they could have asserted. a

this inspector general was appointed by president obama. don't you think she would have wanted to cooperate with the inspector general or get to the bottom of this? t >> wolf, as i said, we made the decision to prioritize the justice department review. >> why couldn't she do both? >> they are assessing the same set of facts. >> why couldn't she answer questions from the state department inspector general and justice department when they call called on her to answer questions? >> quite frankly, wolf, it was always of concern to us and we never could quite make sense of why this review by the state department ig was proceeding on it is own timeline when it was the same office that suggested that the justice department undertake it is review. >> because here's the problem, brian. she did a news conference and answered a lot of questions about the e-mail, the e-mail server and all of that. if she had time for the news media and she's going to have time for the justice department, why disrespect the state department and not go to a meeting and a

of the top 20 pet medications during that time, only 20% went generic. so we know that generics have a profound impact only health care by drastically lowering drug prices and improving access to treatment. ftc report suggests a number of areas for further study regarding pet medication, distribution that may be causing inefficiencies and disincentivizing the development of new generics and i encourage the ftc to proceed with that study. so i'm hopeful that the hearing could address other challenges facing the pet medication industry. i look forward to hearing from the witnesses on how we could ensure affordable pet medication for all pet owners. and yield back. >> thanks the gentleman. this concludes member opening statements. and the chair would remind all members that pursuant to committee rules, members opening statements will be made part of the record. we want to thank our witnesses for being here this morning and taking the time to testify before the sub-committee. today's hearing will consist of two panels. each panel of witnesses will have the o

i had a conversation earlier with general manager kelly about the general manager authorities and i think there are 2 things that need to be rationalized here. one is that we need to be commercially flexible and responsive. we need to be able to act quickly. in that line i think having that authority makes sense. on the other hand i think it's important that the commission be in charge of rates. for an awful lot of cases as rates move it is subject to a cpuc and they are really slow and we have to keep up with those. and, what i have asked for is that staff come back with a recommendation to us as to how we maintain both objectives of both commercial flexibility and the puc being the ultimate rate authority and that can be subject to our future meeting. i think the authorities that are here makes sense in getting these programs up to speed quickly and we are giving specific authority with respect to that but i would like that item to come back at a future time for what our long-term practices. >>isn't that a contradiction to how this reads? what would we be doing by the general manager wo

in 1948, there was a new attorney general in office, and he, contrary to attorney general biddle, who instructed that this be turned off, the new attorney general in 1948 instructed the fbi to prepare an emergency detention program following something called the attorney general's portfolio. this included plans to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, it included ultimately, plans for a master warrant of arrest, whereby on the signature of the attorney general, and only that signature and without reference to the courts, thousands of people could be locked up. >> have they continued to maintain these files for lockup purposes you can? mr. schwarz: your key question is the last three words. they have continued upon the agreement of the department of justice. to maintain the same files. the numbers have now been reduced to 1200 persons. the name has been changed to something called the administrative index. what purpose that serves, and whether it is still used as a reserve list of persons to lockup, i think we will have to ask the bureau, and i can't give you a definitive answer. >> per m

one good thing, inspector generals or inspectors general in washington, d.c.onsistently do good work. nobody got it near the bottom of the story, state ig did a good job. >> i'm sorry, go ahead. i would say that donald trump instead of -- this was a great week for donald trump to not say anything. taken by donald trump and what he said about the mexican judge in san diego the other day this is a lot of oxygen being devoted to issue that could have been spent talking about. >> dickerson: we'll get to donald trump and some of the exciting things that he did. jeffrey, the past and what this report says about the way hillary clinton behaved in the past. but i was talking to democrats who have her interests so much at heart they are on her team. and they pulling their hair out how badly this was handled. in response to this, that when this e-mail story first came out somebody from her campaign said, she had behaved in spirit and letter of the law that is both not true. this week in response, the people i talked to have been shocked how poorly it's been handled. >>

really diverse generation.an find people who probably are what you are describing but you can find lots of folks who are not and are super engaged and want to go out and change the world. that has been exciting for mic to see that. keeping an ear to the ground and talking to this generation who spends every day thinking about what they care about, they are very complicated and diverse and there's a lot of hope for the future. host: in the 18 to 29 category, ng from washington, d.c. good morning. i'm not sure if you have heard about the current situation in vietnam. my friends and i tried to petition to ask the white house to bring more attention to this issue. facebook andusing we are definitely trying to fund raise. what other methods can you suggest that we can get this topic so that the mainstream media can cover this topic more? as of right now it doesn't look like any mainstream media has picked up this topic yet. i'm actually not as familiar with the exact issue you are describing so maybe that is telling

attorney general bidle told j. edgar hoover that after full reconsideration of these classifications, i am satisfied that they serve no useful purpose. there is no statutory authorization or other present justification for keeping a custodial detention list of citizens. the department fulfills its proper functions by investigating the activities of persons who may have violated the law. it is not aided in this work by classifying persons as to dangerousness. now, within a few days of that instruction, very flat instruction from the attorney general, the director of the fbi indicated to all fbi agents that the instruction in effect indicated that the instruction should not be carried out. he told them that what they should do is simply to change the label on the files from, quote, security -- to, quote, security matter and from, quote, custodial detention. he instructed the agents of the fbi as follows, that the bureau will also continue to prepare and maintain security index cards, and this was for the same purpose

this is the first generation. what i refer to as the new generation emerged in the mid to thousands. in the u.k. and in london. the iraq war was the main mobilizing cause for them. they had a movement which pranced out in europe and it was the main platform for the new generation. most of the foreign fighters in middle east today could be seen as part of the new generation in islam for the movements. so are the people behind the breast attack, i argue however, at the same time first generation veterans of the network remain playing roles in them. in the shadows, behind the scenes in a sense, and also interacting with the new generation. as an illustration of the network generation of the your pain jihad, this picture is very interesting, it has not been confirmed but it is likely portrayed the coordinator of the paris network embrace by a man named maluku. he was part of the very first g hottie attacks by the algerian in 1995, this picture is most likely taken in syria in 2014, most likely. maluku escaped prosecut

. >> general scaparrotti, in an interview this month a secretary general at nato said that nato has to be ready to deploy forces and to intervene again if needed. do you agree with that statement and how likely is it going to be necessary for nato forces to intervene and what is your assessment of the capability of nato forces to do so? >> the purpose of the alliance is to provide a collected defense. and it has to go agile in its movement of forces. so i agree it has to be able to deploy forces throughout europe both as what is commonly seen as the threat on the eastern flank with russia, but also where necessary to assist allies in threats in the southern border to include terrorist threats, et cetera. i think nato is in a position today where we have capability, but obviously since the wale summit, we realize there has to be change in order to meet the new environment that we see this europe today. >> and we're not completely ready to meet that new environment as a may toe alliance, are we. >> no, sir, we're not. >> and the secretary general said this with regard to afghanistan. he

, it sure sounds like the general election is on. >> it is. i think -- i mean, the primary is going to continue, there are elections tonight. senator sanders is going to stay in this rate until the end as i think he should, but the general election is here. hillary clinton is going to be the nominee, and i think guy and priority is making the right decision to waste no time to begin prosecuting the case against donald trump. there's no time like the present. >> you know, josh, it was really interesting because obviously these ads are directed squarely at women. >> yeah. >> john kasich last night did an interview with anderson cooper, his first real public appearance since he dropped out of the race, and he talked about one of the reasons why he doesn't feel like he can endorse. listen to who he cites as the reasons here. listen to this. >> so just for the record you're undecided about whether or not you would endorse donald trump. >> i am. right. i'm undecided. >> are you undecided about whether you'd actually vote for him? >> at the end of th

it is somewhat generational for them.ize it's healthy for a party going through some growing pains to actually shed some of its skin. i also want to get back to senator flake's interview. i thought it was astonishing for this reason. donald trump just won 48% of the vote in the republican primary. every single delegate in flake's home state of arizona. he got 250,000 voters. and you just can't ignore that. his policies on immigration began in jan brewer's arizona. out there that some of the establishment of the republican party are still ignoring. when i think of senator flake, who i respect enormously, i think of the class of 2010 up for re-election in the senate in 2016 this year. they rode the tea party wave and now they have switched to decafsomehow. your votes are so moderate. if you look back -- >> they got into government. >> they got into government. go back a year ago and look at their approval ratings and re-elect numbers a year ago. they weren't doing so well. laying it just at the feet of donald trump is naive

general dunford. >> chairman-- >> secretary, you. >> thank you for the opportunity to join secretary carter to appear before you today to talk about the counter isil campaign. senator carl just provided an update of our approach in before taking your questions i would like to share my perspective on where we are the military campaign and where we are going. my full isil is a transracial threat with affiliates located from south asia to west africa are top priority remains to disrupt attacks against the homeland, the american people, our allies and partners regardless of the source. we continue to assess the most dangerous threat remains isil in iraq in syria. i just returned from iraq last week and received an update from our leadership. i also had the opportunity to visit with troops and observe iraqi forces at their training sites. the situation is complex with no shortage of political and military challengers and i was encouraged by what i heard and saw the ground. last fall it would've been fair t

the question that remains oer the general election is, in a general election, with a different, broaderlectorate, is he judged as a politician or the way you judge an entertainer. >> you're absolutely right. that's what we saw throughout the interview. when you started asking him about his contradictions and the issues, what do you think about the minimum wage? well, yes and no. he's going to go either way, both ways. the same on every issue you tried to pin him down on. so i think it makes the general election campaign totally unpredictable, except in its unpredi unpredictability, except in the fact trump will run to the left of clinton on issues, to the right on other issues. >> aren't conservatives going, see, we told you he would do this? >> some are, chuck, and they're welcome to their opinions. however, you can't leave on the field the 10 million plus voters who supported this man in the primaries. it's historically high figure. i have to push back a little bit. i don't think it's fair to say he's judged as an entertainer. what he's judged as is a non-politician. politicians are h

general? the airlines have been charging checked baggage fees since 2008, and the line wait we're experiencing with t.s.a. this year are unprecedented. so i think it would be inaccurate to say that bag fees are leading to the current line waits that we are experiencing. you mentioned -- ms. jackson lee: can i interject for a moment? we note that we had a sizeable increase in passenger travel between 2008 -- already between 2011 and 2016. my only question is, we all have our different perspectives. i'm not offering any perspective. i'm offering, would you participate and collaborate on getting the data we need to understand the question better? ms. philipovitch: we're interested in collaborating to solve the problem. i do want to note that baggage screening, as you noted, is also a core function of t.s.a. and even though we had heard from my colleague from chicago that we haven't had severe issues there. some of our other airports have experienced significant backlogs. in some cases worse like

there were numerous important generals from overseas. there are number of german generals. but reflecting the diversity of america, there were also a number of jewish generals in the civil war. frederick nelfer and several others. recognizing the importance of new immigrants, the lincoln administration changed american military law to allow for the appointment of jewish clergymen in the clergy core for the first time in american history. in 1864, i was passing a statute to encourage immigration and one of the pieces of this new statute was that immigrants who came over not be subject to the draft. if they do not want to be. they were encouraging more immigrants because with hundreds of thousands of men in the field, we needed new people to work in the factories in the fields of america. starting in the postwar period, we get the age of mass immigration from scandinavia and the ottoman empire in eastern europe and these dramatically change both america's ethnic culture and the nature of the society. the new immigrants, not surprisingly, give rise to a new anti-catholic senti

the campaign is making a hard turn to the general election. she is sharpening her battle plan for donald trump and choosing two words to describe him. she said those two words again and again yesterday with anderson cooper. >> i don't think we can take a risk on a loose cannon like donald trump running our country. you know, donald trump has said it's okay for other countries to get nuclear weapons. i think that's downright dangerous. he has said wages are too high. i think we need to have a raise for the american people. raise the minimum wage. get wages back going up. i think when he says women should be punished for having abortions, that is just beyond anything that i can imagine. i think most women can imagine. >> he did walk that back. >> well, he's a loose cannon. >> reporter: so as she uses the words loose cannon and risky, he is calling her crooked hillary. leadi leading trump by 13 points in a new orc poll. sanders is the third wheel here. he says he is staying in through at least california and the convention. john and christine. >>

the inspector general, long-standing systemic weaknesses related to communication. those problems started before hillary clinton's appointment, and the revelations that the server while in office. she sent 1000 emails later determined classified and top-secret. judge andrew napolitano on why this is a big deal. judge napolitano: it disputes the heart of clinton's defense. the heart of her defense was she complied with all state department regulations and what the fbi has been doing is a security review. we know from director comey's words they don't do security reviews, this was a security review. the security review is a review of how the state department keep safe the secrets entrusted to it. mrs. clinton flunked that review. liz: the judge says clinton, quote, knowingly and willfully violated her own state department requirements on record-keeping so i come to you on this because of your history with her. who is she surrounding herself with? are these people sycophants or telling her this doesn't matter? what is the messaging behind the scenes? >> they know that

we have the attorney general behind that lawsuit. the democrats are going to make bernie sanders an offer he can't refuse, the head of debbie wasserman-shultz. the interm review in the state department found that hillary clinton did violate the state department rules. donald trump holding another rally, this time in anaheim, california. you are looking at live pictures. police promised the police would arrest protesters if they got out of hand. you are looking at a standoff between the protesters and the police. and it's getting ugly. this chaos from last night's rally in new mexico and the growing violence that could be escalating even here in california is driving the news narrative and a lot of people think it will perhaps help donald trump. joining me now, tammy bruce, adams rogers. we saw the crazy violence in new mexico. protesters getting out of control to the point of attacking the police. i saw where one of the police horses had to be put down because his leg was broken. >> where are the animal rights activists on this one,

to come. >> generations. will say, if hillary clinton, who's doing very poorly in this whole rigged system that sanders happens to be in, but if hillary clinton for some reason wins, your country will never be the same because she's going to put disasters on the supreme court. >> i watched your daughter, ivanka. she had to say, my dad's not a groper. this is referring to a "the new york times" hit piece. i have interviewed three people that know you well. two that were featured prominently in that piece. we have rowanne brewer lane. carrie prejean. and a woman that actually came from war-torn bosnia that worked for you and ran a lot of -- was a vice president for you. >> right. >> three women. they were absolutely livid at "the new york times" piece. we now discovered that this particular writer had been tweeting negative things about you. this is supposed to be the paper of record. 20 pages and it's now been completely debunked. does that anger you? >> first of all, i have to thank those women. rowanne, carr

this is the fight that falls to our generation.n we launched this campaign 13 months ago, we saw a movement grow. the pundits all said it was hopeless, but we saw over 300,000 volunteers all across this nation. [cheers and applause] over 1.5 million contributions averaging about $60 each -- [cheers and applause] many of those volunteers, many of those contributions you never forget. just a few days ago two young kids, ages four and six, handed me two envelopes full of change. all of their earnings from their lemonade stand. they wanted the campaign to have it. that's what built this campaign. that's what fueled this movement. [cheers and applause] thank you to each of you. incredible patriots who have fought so hard to save our nation. >> we'll fight with you! [cheers and applause] >> and i with you.

the inspector general from the state department. what are you hearing from the clinton campaign about this? >> certainly an unwelcome report if you are the clinton campaign. what they spent a lot of yesterday trying to spin the report. they said, look. past secretaries of state used their personal e-mail as you just read in that statement. when i pressed one of her top officials about why she never asked for permission, the response was, look, she doesn't feel as though she needed to because past secretaries of state used their private e-mail. and very similar answer when i asked why she doesn't turn over all of her records once she left office. the reaction was she didn't feel as though she needed to do that and ultimately when it was requested, she turned over thousands upon thousands of e-mails. that's why you hear secretary clinton making the case she was transparent. however, there's still a lot of questions and inconsistencies. we are going to try to get to secretary clinton later today when she speaks to union workers here in

he can't win the general. he could win the primary but now he's got to expand that coalition to these voters that are uncertain about him. a republican can't win the presidency without winning some of. suburbs. you could have hillary clinton go in and win philadelphia but then the republican has 20 go to the doughnut and start countering in those areas. well, in those areas some of the most influential voters are women and if you look at polls he is in terrible shape when it comes to women, particularly suburban women. >> donald trump has to add to the republican coalition, not take away from it. so he has to really work on the republican base. i was talking to republicans in swing states over this past week and they're saying, you know, he could actually put together something that works in, you know, the midwest if he solidifies the republican base. these are republican voters who are actually pretty traditional, tied to the establishment. they want to see the republican party espousing certain principles an

>> so generally the law is pretty clear. there's no -- there's strong protections against holding platforms civilly liable for speech that their users post. so i think there have been a few cases where people are seeking damaging for the death of a loved one that they tried to ultimately tie back to content that had been posted on a social media network. and of course it's like -- it's always a really heartbreaking story. you can understand why a person is trying to find some restitution. but i think we need to be very careful about how broadly we would scope, kind of who is the proximate cause of, you know, of the death of somebody in a terrorist act. and i think trying to sweep online platforms in under a very broad idea of general liability for actions that are many steps removed from anything they're directly involved with is ultimately not going to succeed. >> and i know the department of justice has sort of played with the idea of going after people who have sharing the content itself. is that something you're continui

actually, the first museum artifacts were actually on a surgeon ind the general's desk, and then in a building that we know today as building near the white house. but it wasn't until after the tragic events of the assassination of president abraham lincoln in 1865 that the museum moved into its first long-term residence. they actually moved into ford theater where they stayed about 0 years before moving to what became the national mall and the thating built in the 1880s we familiarly call the old red brick, a building that is now no longer there, but was in the location where the hershorn gallery is today, and the museum now in 1968 from its former location on the national reed army medical center in washington d.c., where it was housed for about 30 years its new home to here in silver spring, where we are today. the museum today is a museum of 25 million objects. most of those are in five major genesis of but the that collection, the core of the objects, is in civil war medicine, and that's the we're about to start today, and so come along. war e inside our civil medicine exhibit he

and then you have a mass audience,a mass audience, your general public. government may be more effective in the prevention space are reaching out to people who have not already bought in the aspects of ideology, but you need specific audiences to reach the specific class. perhaps they will only listen to other extremists. and maybe those are extremists that are not valid extremists but are extreme in their views that can persuade them to come back. that is not a role for the government to play. the best audience to reach out. so what we tried to do in government is where possible message or herself to the audiences which we think that we can reach, and the common things we have used, particularly against communities but also killing in big numbers, amplifying the stories, highlighting battlefield losses. they have territory would say can.to and say, and help us. so we.to what they are taking in iraq and syria. we have tried to expose the living conditions. and perhaps most importantly we think it is important to work not just government, but with partners

you know what the attorney general said today. said the justice department is going to take action to block implementation of this law. so will you comply with that move by justice? or will you go ahead and try to continue to implement? >> no, we'll actually taking them to court also thsm is what we are seeking is clarity in the judicial system to further define gender identity and gender identity's usage in our rest rooms in our high schools, our junior highs, our elementary schools, our universities and our highway rest stops. we are seeking basic clarity of this. because the executive branch does not have the power to interpret law. that's the power of the judicial branch. an that's what we're seeking. but what the attorney general has done now with her new ruling is basically all employers of the united states of america and all universities in the united states of america based upon her letter of interpretation is saying that all employers must allow gender identity in the private sector for any employer over 15 employees. th

this was the first generation.hat i refer to as a new generation emerged in the mid 2000s in the uk. the iraq war was a main mobilizing cause for that. the moment which branched out in europe under labels was a main platform for the new generation. most of the foreign fighters can be seen as part of this new generation and this cheria for islam for movement. so are the people behind paris brussels attack i argue. however, at the same time first generation veterans of the networks remain playing roles in the shadows behind the scenes in a sense and also interacting with a new generation. as an illustration of the network dimension of generations of european jihad this picture here is very interesting. it has not been confirmed but it likely portrays the coordinator of the paris brussels network. malouk was part of the first jihadi attacks in europe in 1995. this picture here is most likely taken in syria in 2014, most likely. he escaped prosecution after the attacks in '95 in paris and went underground in belgium. s

this is the first generation. what i refer to as the new generation emerged in the mid to thousands. in the u.k. and in london. the iraq war was the main mobilizing cause for them. they had a movement which pranced out in europe and it was the main platform for the new generation. most of the foreign fighters in middle east today could be seen as part of the new generation in islam for the movements. so are the people behind the breast attack, i argue however, at the same time first generation veterans of the network remain playing roles in them. in the shadows, behind the scenes in a sense, and also interacting with the new generation. as an illustration of the network generation of the your pain jihad, this picture is very interesting, it has not been confirmed but it is likely portrayed the coordinator of the paris network embrace by a man named maluku. he was part of the very first g hottie attacks by the algerian in 1995, this picture is most likely taken in syria in 2014, most likely. maluku escaped prosecut

in germany, some of the generals, a minority of them, at the generals tried to overthrow hitler in 1944, but unfortunately they make a bad job of it. nonetheless, what you are actually have in the case of germany and japan is the you interaction of the military leadership and politics playing a big role. eisenhower has no real views in the sense that he does what he is told on the strategic quest, as you know if you look at the maps, the enormous route between the american and british policy makers on whether they should invade the balkans, whether they should land on the coast of yugoslavia and move into hungary and austria in order to preempt the soviet advance. they were convinced what we call the cold war, the confrontation with the soviet union, he was convinced it would start all over again, and indeed by late 1944, british troops had sent troops with communist try to take over the government. roosevelt thinks this is totally appalling. churchill, secretary of state during the russian civil war was actually taking a key role, but not very successfully. he sees himself as taking pa

bono i was moved to hear you talk about how the american people are generally generous in our investment the marshall plan laid the foundation or a western europe that's united and stable and free and your reference to pepfar which largely through the work of senior senators on this committee have made possible and relief that touch the lives of 9 million you also mentioned the ebola crisis in west africa one where volunteers from around the world joined with the united states and turning around the trajectory of that tragic disease. i'm in courage dan challenged by your terrific op-ed today in "the new york times", by what i have heard from all of you about the levant and the ways in which we have to be working together to craft a more disciplined and thoughtful plan. general in your written testimony you have about as good a call to arms arms as i have heard and i quote we need a global development campaign plan to be as sophisticated serious and passionate as any fight in our history decided resource to assist the future depends on it, because it does. but the time remaining at the gr
