the environmental movement didn't happen in washington. it happened because people said what is going on on this planet of ours? you can't destroy it. we have to protect the planet. you think about gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years ago, and somebody said i think in 2015, gay marriage will be , the personstates next to him would have said what are you smoking? which raises another issue. [laughter] but the point is, when people at the grassroots start moving, and when they say this is not right, in this country people should have the right to love anyone they want regardless of their gender -- [applause] tremendous changes took place. ,ou go and talk to young people they shrug their shoulders and say what is the big deal? that is what a revolution is about.

i am urging those people to call their senators at the washington, d.c. offices and insist that that he lou the president to do his duty. >> we'll get his response and share with you the story from the front page of "the new york daily news". justice antonin scalia of course was the longest-serving member currently on the court. could you respond to her question? >> well, the constitution doesn't require the congress to approve. in 1968 president lyndon johnson tried to elevate justice abe fortas to chief justice and replace him with justice homer thornberry, also from texas, and the senate just stalled those nom inages. filibustered until nixon came in. there saint clear indication of what the constitutional duty is. it is odd to have the senate leaders saying they don't want to consider any candidate from the current president. as far as sanders, interestingly, he was one of the first out of the box to put out a statement about scalia's passing, he said he admired scalia's intellect and respected him. there wasn't anything about replacing him. then the

they marched on washington. they sat in. and we made huge breakthroughs. but it happened not because of somebody on top. it happened because millions of people essentially said, enough is enough. what about the women's movement? 100, 150 years ago, women said sorry, we are not going to be treated as third-class citizens. we are going to do the work we want to do. [applause] we are going to be able to vote, to run for political office. huge, terrible, enormous struggles. but women as a result of those made enormous progress. the environmental movement didn't happen in washington. by some senator introducing legislation. it happened because people said what is going on on this planet of ours? you can't destroy it. we have to protect the planet. and you think about something like gay rights. if we were sitting here 10 years ago, and somebody said i think in 2015, gay marriage will be legal in 50 states, the person next to him would have said what are you smoking? which raises another issue. [laughter] but the point is, when people at the grassroots start movi

in washington, there is a little more stiffness. the president wanted to afford world leaders more of an opportunity to have a candid, relaxed discussion. >> when you said that the is standing with advisers on this supreme court issue, is he going over specific list? where is he in the process? again, we are only a few days old here. i am not going to be able to release details of the conversation. my only point is, is the president engaged? yes. that means working with his team and white house officials at the white house and back here to make sure the process is moving forward. when you said you have been reaching out to democrats and republicans on the hill, you mean on the judiciary committee? you can imagine we are hearing from a lot of folks. we are also proactively reaching out to key offices. i do not have a list to detail. ,ut i think in the coming days that outreach will become more extensive. have you guys said when the president will sign legislation on north korea? mr. schultz: i do not have an update for you. >> you ex

we have a team for the washington journal that we do research. we have topics. generally it is driven by the news. we also look at things that are not necessarily in the news cycle that are related to public policy and politics. we are doing research to find out. i am part of that team. we all wear different hats. we don't just host the we are also producers for different programming. we are doing research to find out who would be the best person to talk about it, who has a perspective on it, whether it is liberal or conservative, and we out.o balance that whenever the topic is, we try a balanced approach so we can hear two different sides.that is the same with newspapers as i -- as well, leaving in conservatives and liberal newspapers, if that is your perspective. it is all about balance. it is not perfect, but we do our best. go ahead. >> first of all, brookings does -- have an old theology ideology. we are neutral. we probably have more democrats on staff then republicans, but we don't make any effort to tabulate or enforce a partisan agenda.ogical i would co

it's not just making washington look dysfunctional. and actual -- it actually hurts the ability for the federal government to be more effective and efficient with tax dollars. look at the department of defense. if you have a continuing resolution instead of an actual d.o.d. appropriations bill signed into law, then they can actually do planning. you know, companies plan years in advance. a government agency should actually be laying out plans as well about how to best use taxpayer dollars. but if they don't know what their budget's going to look like until literally the day before it's about to take effect, it's real hard for them to do planning and a lot of times what they do is suspend contracts and then they have to start that contract back up again, even though they know that ultimately something's going to get worked out. they can't do long-term planning. and it costs even more money. to do the same thing, so it does lead to a less efficient government, to not have a functioning appropriations process. it's why we want passionatel

people look to washington and washington is living in a very different world. on top of all of that is the issue of fairness, the issue of a rigged economy, which essentially means people are working ordinary hours -- working hours for low wages. and there is the issue of wealth and power, which dictates what goes on in america. we have town meetings. the general feeling is there should be more equality. when they look at wall street what they see is a rigged economy. they see a corrupt campaign finance system. all wrapped up in wall street. what i can tell you from personal experience -- the banking committee, which became the financial committee. i was on the committee that dealt with the regulation of wall street. here is the reality that will not shock any american. wall street put billions of dollars in lobbying and campaign contributions into saying you have to get rid of these 1930's regulations. you have to allow commercial banks to merge with investor banks, to merge with large insurance companies. i didn't believe it for one second, not for one second

i talked to the washington post, done various interviews. but i can say all day that muslims unequivocally condemn terrorism, and somebody that is not muslim, i have very little legitimacy, apart from the data. it's important, but not as compelling as the genuine emotional fear and anger that i've seen from talking to mainstream muslim leaders. who i think are understandably concerned that there is a media motif of an angry muslim. you go on fox news and become angry, you only serve to further the stereotype among angry muslims. but there is anger that is anger about attacks on your religion. then there is anger, that is equally genuine, that is towards group like isis or dyess. -- or daesh. there has been a lot of understandable hesitation about whether that's a good idea. i think given what i've shown you today, the opportunity, the time has come for that type of corrective discourse. the majority of americans now have this conspiracy theory in their heads. you can simply throw facts at the problem. some recent research coming out of polit

from today's "washington journal" this is 40 minutes. host: ben pershing's managing editor at national journal and talks about the elegant process by which the democrats will select a candidate. one thing that has some supporters of bernie sanders concerned is that he beat hillary clinton by 20-points in new hampshire, but hillary clinton could lead new hampshire with the same number of delegates because of superdelegates. what is a superdelegate? caller: something in the democratic party. they have something similar in the republican party, but they don't work the same way. for democrats, they are members of the parties, the elites of the party, a little over 700 of them at a 4000 total delegates. the trick is they can support whomever they want. they're not bound by their states, the results of primaries or caucuses. in new hampshire, bernie sanders can win new hampshire and still come out then pure delegates that hillary clinton because superdelegates go the other way. host: a delegate tracker is talking about the delegates in superde
