--hink rosenstein is right when i was watching that press conference, i was in disbelief as he went into those details. that's not right. ,f you are not going to indict you don't come out and give all these reasons why you could have. that is not fair. it also violates critical protocol. there were other issues that existed there in terms of protocol where comey did not inform the department of justice about critical press conferences and decisions in a timely fashion. a lot of people don't realize that the fbi is part of the justice department. the deputyto attorney general. host: illinois. republican line. bob, hi. -- the one house keeping senate vote was 94-6. i love c-span. i agree with the previous caller . if they had one house of true evidence, it would have been brought up by now. it's an effort for the dems to continue their fundraising. will it special investigation takes compared to the senate investigation going on currently? guest: excellent questions. in terms of the time span, it would take probably years. the department of justice first of all would have to sign off on th

it's hard to believe when we hink of president kennedy, his youthful vigor, the mop pew lar -- popular appeal he had not and around country the world and forever in our hars and minds -- hearts and inds, that vision of grace and ignity and wit and humor and public service and dedication. it was president kennedy, of course, said we will put a man on the moon and do it within 10 years. and we did it in nine. amongst his great legacies, of course, is that president was the ounded and creator of the peace corps. president kennedy felt in those troubling times when there was the threat of nuke leear -- nuclear annihilation that when we needed -- what we needed to is send forward america's best. let the world see what america s truly about. so he engaged this great nation in the effort of sending our brightest and best abroad. today many americans might be surprised to know that in a 330 million e than than 1% -- let me repeat that again. ss than 1% of the nation erves in all of our military including our reserves and national guard, and in the peace teach americorps, vista, america, senior

a hink that a lot of it is distraction from the issues that are really at hand. i feel this administration and has done parties nothing to serve the american perpetuating this decision. there needs to be -- mary.mary, specifically to the firing, support or oppose it? okay.r: i oppose it. here is why. was lotted o, comey by the president, the timing is suspicious. glad he got fired ecause now he can give testimony under oath. one is talking about rice, who refused to participate in the hearing. she is his superior or was his uperior, yet she would not allow him to go over the chain and -- nd host: do you mean susan rice? mary, do you -- caller: why not? st. go to john, john in paul, california, republican line. caller: good morning. comey should have been fired and i think it should have een president obama who fired him. now let's put the shoe on the other foot. suppose it was donald trump that server on his -- in his basement. would have indicted trump right then and there. indict hillary clinton because she was a democratic candidate. this whole ed problem, mad

washington can be taken to resolve the standard of review in this case. .hink it's mandell pretty close though. >> that did in a section of called reveal ability -- to what washington instead -- meant dell can't govern broad policy determinations. even plaintiffs don't try to defend their reasoning comments this -- it's inconsistent with other cases. standard, i'm glad to hear counsel say, we wouldn't be appear if it was just campaign statement. glad to hear you say that. those are not statements in an official capacity and don't tell you the official objective of government conduct. people say things on the comp and trail then take an oath to uphold the constitution then consult with them on policies they develop. we shouldn't start down the road of psychoanalyzing what people meant in the campaign trail. , there's your question a handful of statements -- the only one that directly concerns disorders with the president said when he signed the first one. we all know what that means. but the president said it three minutes before he signed that in the presence of a newly sworn in secreta

speaking, smug.eal i mean, i was in the service and shot off in vietnam, why in the world do europeans hink today we should have to pay for everything, put our country on the line when like said earlier, the baltic states that recently went are providingthey the bulk of the money and you fat europeans are sitting over fat living off the alliance. chance tos give you a respond. guest: sure. so again, you are right, there needs to be a sharing of burdens again, i think europeans would agree with this the his is decided at meeting yesterday to have a new commitment to increase european spending. i would make the point, over 000 europeans lost their lives in afghanistan fighting for the united states against al qaeda and actually the president in brussels unveiled 9/11 memorial, only time nato triggered collective defense response to the 9/11 attacks. i would say, even when the in other tes fights places, we rarely, if ever, fight without allies. the u.k. was in iraq, nato ally. in afghanistan in operations off the coast of somalia, us.pean allies are with i have a hard time coming up ith a war

doing a hink they are good job at sequestering it. metals are he heavy sequesters when coal is left in the ground. vivian stockman, vice director at ohio valley coalition.we've been focusing the "washington journal" on the coal industry and impacts on both the people environment and the regulation of that industry. nick mullins joins us now, an creator of the blog, the thoughtful coal miner and a miner with history of mining in his family. ow far back does that history go? guest: well, it goes back to my grandfather in the 1920s, who worked in areas of virginia for virginia iron and coal company. host: what is the thoughtful miner? why did you get it started? what do you write about? caller: well, the thoughtful coal miner, my way of speaking rhetoric that comes from both the industry and environmentalists to find common the two.tween speaking specifically to miners' asues and trying to help give voice and like i say, keep the at the same time, working to get the truth out there. host: what do you do these day? you are a former coal m

sides, i is on both hink we quite optimistic when barack obama was elected, people talking about post-racial america. obama say rd post-racial, but folks were aspirational s an idea, we should all aspire to peaceful and productive diverse society. moving in that direction, i'm happy to say. i'm optimistic about it, but it a lurching movement. host: mr. page, "the chicago you can find his column and his opinion, thank you for your time this morning. having me.k you for host: this is our program for today. another program comes your way 7:00 tomorrow morning. thank you, sir. >> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies. it is brought to you today by your cable or satellite provider. on sunday, author and bi will be matt taib our guest on "in-depth." >> if you grew up watching hundreds and hundreds of faces and you see the face for you, you instantly fall in love that moment. for me, trump was like that except the opposite. when i first saw him on the campaign trail, i thought, this is a person who is unique, hor

a really hink that is good point and oftentimes teens do not trust and confide in that parents and whetherbecause they're their parents and they don't want to get in lot of teens i treat talk about not wanting to parents f. theyr are being bullied, they are afraid they will put pain on parents and don't want that. oftentimes, one big story line "13 reasons why," has to do parents nah baker's struggleing and hannah knew they were struggling. and place go to them another burden on them would have been very hard for her. he didn't want to get vulnerable in that way, she knew they were vulnerable. so, what does that mean? that means that teens need to necessary their life other than parents they need to be able to trust and upon and that need to seem as though they are consistently them, right? lp what does that look like? like a teacher. i had was in high school, a teacher whom i very much admired and would go to when i a struggling, that means coach, that means a counselor, a or an outside r counselor and so if you're finding your teen is doing about, my didn't know suggestion would be to tr

i think one of the things that's to that with respect just to clear something up, i hink that there was clearly bipartisan support that jim comey wasn't up to the job. right todent has every fire a person because he believed director comey lacked and decision making skills and wasn't up to the job. reaction to his position has been completely misrepresented. nbc news he didn't care it didn't make matters worse for him that it might even out the investigation because he would take action against jim comey in firing him. he said that he wants the to be done, quote, absolutely properly. e said that he might even confuse some people that he would take this action knowing it would make matters worse for him. the actions that he took he knew ould be detrimental to himself but none of those things mattered because the president had to do the right thing for he american people because believes that jim comey it was wrong man for that position. be i think that we've got to very clear as to the reason that the president took the actions that he did. knew that what he did could be detrimental to h

getting the deeper issues, speaking to the american people about all of the aspects that happened. ,hink of the 9/11 commission what we should have done on .apitol hill that commission didn't indict anybody. it just told a detailed story of the many failures and problems and challenges and threats that led up to 9/11 so that the american people could see what happened and understand the implications. met: after the senators with ron rosenstein, marco rubio counsel,a special robert mueller, is expected to ask congress to scale back hearings. " and you have lindsey graham saying that his committee will probably have a hard time thatng a lane and said robert mueller's appointment will shut it down. guest: i disagree with that. it will not shut it down. this happens a lot. there are times when you have congress investigating something and the fbi looking at a criminal investigation. have the fbi doing a criminal investigation and state authorities during an investigation. whenever you have that, you do want to coordinate that. what always happens in situations like this, d conflict. if the f

federal agencies, in terms of our own plans on how to protect vital assets at stages of alert and i hink that we have done a very good job, excellent job, considering the fact that, you essentially operate a factory outdoors and you can't everything all the time. but there is a lot of training terms l of our people in of heightened levels of reporting in terms of anything that is seen that could be out of the ordinary. answer is yes,he there are significant national ecurity issues, but i think it has been addressed in a very and way really for ed, a long period of time. after 9/11, our c.e.o. directed us to come up with a plan. levels of alert with specific action items to take depending on what the we get, we is weren't creative, we call them step level alerts one, two, as opposed to red, green, blue and yellow. us.way, it seems to work for we have had since about 2003, a railroad expert sitting day in, day out at the national joint f.b.i. task force of the we have established a secure department of defense, operation center at the r, which is tied in to the operation centers of the lar

i think he said the right thing right hink he did the thing. i was in dpraement when he did well.as host: sam in washington, d.c., independent, good morning. caller: good morning. thank you for c-span. now, t want to know why fire james comey and the things that donald trump is doing right overseas, the people fighting a dictator and in the united states, seem like we are dictator.a all the things he's doing, along and ines of dictatorship it's making me really frustrated as a voter. host: sam, you ask why now. headline, right or wrong, why now? she writes if say president fired comey had maybe if election, trump canned him after taking ffice, that would have been huge news, but not nausiating news, not news that prompt theed tuesday's action, words like nicksonian, it is different because nothing significant has terms of inauguration day, what has changed, we know pursuing serious investigation into russian entanglement and with the trump campaign, an investigation that could pose political or criminal threat to trump's presidency. barbara in

--hink actually, it actually i mean, the real "oslo" story started by us visiting gaza for the firste. my wife was a diplomat based in cairo and we went to israel for the first time into gaza and the west bank and we saw during the first intifada clashes between israeli soldiers and palestinian , what we saw in the eyes of the soldiers and the palestinians, youngsters, was the same angst. they were afraid. meaningless. you have 18-year-old, palestinians and israelis standing with guns and stones and flings to each other. meaningless. this became a main motivation for both of us. we have to do something to resolve this issue, so again, it is personal and very simple. it is emotions. it is people to people. charlie: and the belief that it is not impossible? .> yeah, i mean, probably everybody, if they knew what we were trying to do, they thought resolve they to -palestinian issue. maniac, -- of metal megalomaniac. sometimes, it is easier to do the impossible than to do the possible. i think the play gives a ray of that indeed ite is possible to resolve issues of the day. charlie: this

--hink my standpoint is should the u.s. toughen drug sentencing is the question on your screen. i think that we probably should, because you could go to jail for 50 years, but we are also talking about federal prosecutions. it's not someone with a small amount, or medium amount, usually it's a larger amount, several kilograms or more. i think with the attorney general sending out this memo, it puts a point on the fact that these sentences are possible and you must prosecute all these cases. obama's administration seemed to be going in the right direction, but let's try and not go for the sentences, but the next step is to get congress to change these drug laws. i don't know if it should be no penalty, but you're talking about folks making hundreds of thousands of dollars off the books each year. crime for, it's a these drug transactions. that was my point -- actiono you think this by the justice department might spur congress to take another look at this issue, take another crack at trying to change drug laws? caller: that's what i'm hoping. as some of the newspapers have pointe

year,hink you know, last i managed the campaign in colorado to try to pass a single state universal coverage plan. we lost. spent $8ance company million to defeat us. but i still think -- i do not think washington, d.c. can solve our health care problems, so i think it is going to happen state-by-state. new york state has a plan that has passed one house of the legislature. the governor has endorsed it. if it passes the other, new york would come up with a plan to cover everybody. if they do it, the other states will follow. host: why did you decide to get that involved in an issue in colorado? guest: i wrote a book about health care. i am just a reporter. you know, an objective observer. that ame totally obvious decent ethical democracy ought to provide health care for everybody. and i started giving speeches around the country, and people would say "what is it good health care pl -- what is a plan?"alth care i said he has a cover everybody. if you do, you save lives and money. all the other rich countries do. so i kind of became an advocate. a group of people in my state, colorado, put up

here,hink the challenge the fed thinks through what is called a phillips curve. to say unemployment is low, we should see wage inflation that is high and that should spill into price inflation. the problem is, the curve is moving around all the time. these linkages are always moving all over the place. trying to rely as much as the fed does on the on of lament rate as a measure of inflation is a challenging game. we are seeing that in their forecast. julia: we will come back to this as well. narayana is sticking with us. we have breaking news. scarlet: hewlett-packard enterprise, the part of the business with the valuable assets as opposed to the old reporting earnings, second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $.85. that is the reported number -- $.35. the outlook here that we want to pay attention to his third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $.24 to $.28. i am looking at comparable numbers, hpe, the comparable number is $.32. it looks like we are looking at a lighter than expected forecast which will account for the decline in hpe shares after hours.

no,hink it would be very helpful to you.since you are the key element responsible for the operation, several questions seem particularly relevant to the command. for example, the problems have spent billions trying to traind and equip the military vote in iraq anthose iniraq and afghani. would you agree with that? and we would continue to spend billions doing both of those things, correct?>> i'm not sure that we are getting adequate information about how much success we have had. to know the steps that have been taken to address the challenges to train and equip regarding underlying factors that caused the shortages in iraq. we continue to have insufficien numbers. i think the amount of money that we are spending would be great you may not be prepared to todab but since you are so involved it would be helpful for us to get more information about the problem. i will work with the commanderea to get your response to. >> as you are aware we had a number of problems in the first attempt at training and equipping that was disastr
