mr. allen: does crooked hillary count as presidential? mr. priebus: i think he has done an effective job of labeling. i think she does have a history of being crooked. she has a lot to answer for. she has families of dead heroes in benghazi to answer for. she has a tenure as secretary of state to answer for. i think she has a lot of material for us to cling on to and use. mr. allen: what is he like behind the scenes? mr. priebus: far more gracious and personable than i think you see at rallies. i have never had a problem behind the scenes. i have never had a situation where something was said by him that was not followed through. all of my interaction has been extremely positive, which made the system rigged stuff so out of place for me compared to what was being said personally behind the scenes. mr. allen: does that bother you that there is one donald trump behind the scenes and one different on camera? mr. priebus: i think he said it himself. there is going to be a time to shift to general e

mr. allen: take us behind the scenes. tuesday night, you were in milwaukee. the spent the night in your bed, which you rarely do. tell us what happened when you decided and tweeted donald trump what is the presumptive nominee. mr. priebus: i said he would be. obviously, kasich was still in the race. presumptive nominee, you still need to be at 1237 to be the presumptive nominee. no one else is running, so obviously i think it is safe to say at some point, he is going to be the presumptive nominee. let me tell you where we were. we had planned a fundraiser in milwaukee. obviously, those are kind of family members to me. they have been helping me since i have been chairman of the wisconsin party. we had gone into the pfister, which you have been to. i had heard rumors about the potential of ted cruz dropping out in the afternoon. i did not go out of my way to confirm any of it or make any phone calls because sometimes there are times you don't want to be in the information loop on things like tha

mr. allen: the night of the indiana do you agree this is donald trump's party? >> no, it is the party's party. he will remain the republican party of the open door freedom, opportunity, a quality. our platform remains -- i believe our platform will remain the same as it is right now. we will remain continuously. i don't buy into that. here is the chief strategist of the rnc tweeting that this was 100% not true. a company story in the new york says says sticks said -- six members were told they should leave by the end of the week. ps for a correction. what have you told your staff? >> nothing. i have been gone but i talked to katie, our chief of staff. this is what i know. what sean says every other year to the staff in the columns department is we are entering the general election face. weekends are workdays. if you have any family vacations, if you have something coming up you need to tell us about and now is the time to do it. ast is 100% false as far telling people to leave they're not 100%

mr. allen: they do not feel intimidated.shed act ors and actresses who work with many directors and films. they do very, very well. they have no problem at all. they come in, and the atmosphere is relaxed. i have great respect for the instinct of the actors. it's very easy for them. >> i thought since you had so much free time on your hands -- >> he travels a lot. and i like spending my time with you. that's ok. you're very sweet. have you heard that before? you have this dear in the headlights quality. >> thank you. i would your boyfriend, not travel. or if i did, i would take you with me. >> that's between us. society," we find these themes we have found it so much of your work. this one feels particularly poignant because there's a lot about choices. tell me one choice perhaps you have made in your life that you regret, perhaps a movie you wish you had not made. mr. allen: i have so many regrets, i don't know where to begin. i regret dropping out of school when i was younger. i regret maybe not going into a maybe i regret

mr. allen i'm will haygood i'm a journalist working on the story. we are now five days from 2008 election. the african-american senator and three girls got the party'sepict nomination and there's one epic step to take so i told him that i wanted to come over and talk to him about his life because i had heard that he worked for tw. presidents and he said, you got that wrong, i work for a precedence. harry truman, to harry truman, to ronald reagan. that is eight. of course, i went over and spent this amazing time with him and his wife and wrote that story about this man who worked in the white house and saw history move in front of his eyes. >> this was a little in reverse because you wrote the article and then the movie came out, then your book came out. correct. correct? >> yes. >> how did that work? >> that's a great question. the story was written and then a movie producer produce spiderman movie and she reach me by phone to say that the story made her cry and that she wanted to buy the right

mr. allen: so, this march madness really is madness. there is a lady all the way in the back. hand her the microphone, please. joanne: think you very much. i got a question about the projects you're talking about. for example, the mars project, this is an age in which students have relatively short attention spans according to your research. perhaps mars fatigue to be setting in. but also some other interesting projects. one dr., as you know has , pioneered a project where these stars are the object and 100 years is the goal. of course there are public forums and a lot of research being done as to how to get there. how can we stimulate people going towards that goal? >> you are absolutely right. going to mars in the 2030's is a long time from now. unless you're in the program. that's 14 years from now. we are talking about humans in the martian and environment in the 20 80's. and we are going to do that -- we are talking about humans in the 2030's. we are going to do that. but there are all kin

mr. allen: let's tell everyone what that is. >> geographic information systems. we have been trying to get this course adopted so that the kids will think about it through the k-12 age, which the currently only do it the college-age. law year they signed a new for the country. every student succeeds. one big challenge that i see is that it basically returns most federal education dollars to state control. i guess it is how to get them as individual entities to think about stem or steam education and focus on it without federal priority for. -- for it. can you hand him the microphone, please? mr. kamen: that's really a terrific question, although we support the decision, it's not just for the state. ground up. we have a regional set of directors. in some states we have three, like in california. they work with local education agencies to promote the first concept. to bring it into their school with funding. need to work with organizations that have a local footprint and many of the engine -- org

(cheers and applause) mr. allenyou so much for being here. >>> a treat to be here. >> trevor: what an exciting time to be alive. what an exciting time to be in the world of politics. you must be salivating now. >> not to put pressure on the voters but someone was telling me the other day, hillary clinton would be the first woman president, marco rubio would have been the first cuban president, trump would be the last president. (laughter) >> trevor: you have been on the internet too much, my friend. let's talk about this situation. let's start off with trump. so they say now he's no longer presumptive as a nominee, he's just the nominee. is this true? >> we've reached trump today, two delegates to spare. it's official. >> trevor: they can change the rules, right? >> but there is no push to it. there is no reason to do that now. for months and months we have been saying, oh, what's going to happen behind the scenes in cleveland, but overwhelmingly republican voters and people who are going to be at the convention say

mr. allen, the third way report that identified 50 companies developing plans for new nuclear plants in the u.s. and canada, how soon are some of these technologies going to be available? and is the nrc ready for that? >> i think they're on a big spectrum, depending how much technology development has been done in the past. i'd say the quickest, assuming that we do the types of things we need in regulatory space would be on the order of 10 to 15 years. some of them are much further out than that. and i think that nrc has a strong regulatory function but as we've talked about could do some things to be better receptive to companies and to build staff depth in areas that they're not used to regulating. >> mr. merrifield, do you think there's a risk of agency bucking heads against each other, nrc and d.o.e. with respect to the new technology? >> well, i think -- there was a lot of discussions between the d.o.e. and nrc on earlier advanced reactor-like programs. that did not get as far as we hoped

mr. allen: i thank the gentleman from georgia for yielding to speak to this important threat to our country, our state, and our guents. our founders made a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. in america today in every state, in too many families, there is a palpable undercurrent of pain, loss, and suffering that is caused by this horrendous open crisis. is -- opioid sadly one in five americans know someone who has been addicted to opiates. nearly every 12 minutes someone in the u.s. dies of a drug overdose. and every 25 minutes, a baby is born suffering from opioid withdrawal. a recent c.d.c. study found in 2009 more americans died from prescription drugs than motor vehicle accidents, making the first time drug related deaths have outnumbered motor vehicle related deaths since 1979. when the government started tracking drug related deaths. unfortunately, my home state of georgia is not immune to this growing epidemic. according to the georgia bureau of investigation, in 2012

mr. allen: ladies and gentlemen, not long ago tom brokaw used the ." he"greatest generation used it in invocation of the outcome of world war ii. the americans and their partners who had stood on the ramparts and defeated an existential enemy. i would contend that there is a new greatest generation. we have seen them in action. when we saw the right faces on that video this morning, that's greatest generation. the greatest generation that will propel this country, our friends, and sometimes our opponents who will become our friends to another level of human existence. this kind of conversation today is what brings that to fruition. let's thank our panel today and thank you all for coming.
