Important places in the nation pose a capital and listening to our leaders. Brian lamb your name . I am alex young and i am also from indiana. Brian lamb what have you been doing this week . We have been talking to guest speakers from different departments of our bureaucracy and the president of the Supreme Court justice, but i think the most important part of this week was to interact with our fellow delegates from the 50 states and washington dc and japan, south korea. The insurrection i have had with my fellow delegates, whether it is talking about politics or what we have for breakfast was probably the best part of this weekend. These are things i will remember for a long time. Brian lamb any disagreements . Disagreements for sure. [applause] [laughter] not,er i like pineapple or disagreements another policies and then a nice handshake and a great into the discussion. Brian lamb what is this program called . The United StatesYouth Program. Brian lamb who supports it . The Hearst Foundation. Brian lamb how do you get chosen . Each state selects to delegates based on their application essays that they write, their resumes. Brian lamb why dont we move around and find out what is on the rest of your minds and i would start by asking the question after this week, who has impressed you the most and why . If we get some hands, why do we start right here. Stand up and give me her name and where you are from. I am Meredith Mccain and i am from atlanta, georgia. Brian lamb who is it that you are most impressed by . Oh yes. [laughter] buthat is a difficult one, Jonathan Capehart came to talk to us and i really loved the insight he gave us about being the outside source, reporting back to us in the electorate about what is going on in our government. He told us to look out for our Guardian Angel and those who guide us along our journey as we enter into Public Service. Brian lamb what is your own goal, where are you going to go in life . I would love to be in International Journalists or be part of the Foreign Service and eventually an ambassador to a frenchspeaking country, but something from a global point of view that can incorporate lots of different people and government leaders like the journalist has had in his career. Brian lamb lets go find somebody. Yes, sir. I am Walter Jackson from North Carolina. I would like to say my most memorable moment would be going to the white house and meeting the president , and the best part was just watching him come down the hallway because you always see that on television but to actually see it in person was pretty incredible. Brian lamb what did you notice in person that you do not see on television . He looked a little thinner. [laughter] television,oes on but just to be in a president s presents no matter if you agree with his policy or not, it is really incredible. He is tall. [laughter] it was an incredible experience and im great to the grateful to the Hearst Foundation. Brian lamb what year do you plan to run for president . I do not know. [laughter] brian lamb there is hope there. Yes, where are you from . Wonderful. I am from massachusetts. Brian lamb who impressed you the most . I really enjoyed the senator from hawaii because she came up from an immigrant family, growing up tough, it was really inspirational to hear what she had to say, how we can learn ge enter years in Public Service were inspirational for us all. My parents moved here in the 1980s and i grew up here. Brian lamb what is your observation from it being around all of these young people, the difference between being an immigrant and having been born in this country with ancestors from European Countries . There is a lot of racial diversity here and it is great to cds different types of perspectives depending on where you grew up, what type of economic background you came from, because the Hearst Foundation provided all of the money for us, travel expenses, hotel room in, that was all covered, meaning that people from various economic backgrounds are able to come here, so there is a lot of different perspectives when you get here and i really enjoyed learning from everyone. Brian lamb somebody told me you got a surprise announcement earlier in the week about your scholarship, what was it . Everyone thought the scholarship would be 5,000, which is phenomenal. Then, on sunday night they announced it would be doubled to 10,000, and it was the loudest applause i had ever heard erupting in the room. [applause] who else wants to tell us about this week, if you have somebody you want to talk about . I am from new hampshire. Brian lamb who is it you want to tell us about questio . Jeffrey hearst gave us a technology a speech about technology and its influence in the media. His speech talked about how we created our own safe spaces online where we have information we agree with coming from us but we do not hear a lot from the other side, the way the other sides work on social media. Brian lamb do you stick with your side . I am trying to find different people on twitter so that you hear from both sides. And so the following people that agree with me, i am starting to get more information on the other side. Over lamb anybody from here have somebody want to tell us about . Yes, maam, what is your name and where are you from question . I am from wyoming. Mostbader ginsburg was the inspirational person we have met this week. She has been one of my idols for a long time. I either want to be in the Legal Profession or possibly a senator, but she has done such amazing work to advance womens rights going into the legal system. Say thatb what she you will most remember . She talked a lot about the influences of different Supreme Court justices, and sort of their legacies, and so i guess it makes you think about what you want your legacy to be even if you are not a Supreme Court justice. How impactful some other decisions have been and that if i want they become a lawyer i will want to put a lot of thought into these important decisions because it is something that is really going to figure throughout. Earlier she gave the eulogy to Antonin Scalia a, and they were Close Friends over the year and they cannot have been more different. That the symbol of your life or the political campaigns . Today. Ave not seen it there is a lot of bickering on both sides of people cannot seem to agree, but i think it is important to reach across the aisle and try to get, get to know people, not only that you are running against but anyone who has a different opinion than yours because it is really important to challenge of perspective. Brian lamb i want to go to the other end of the room if i can. I see a lot of hands over here and get some other perspectives. How about you . Your name and where you are from and make sure you look at the camera. I am from nevada. My favorite person that spoke to us was senator alexander. He give us a very positive perspective and you told us we could pretty much do whatever we wanted when we got older and she told us a story about when he work in tennessee, he was elected to be the governor, and the governor spoke to them and said, one day, one of you will be governor of tennessee and he was. It was great to hear that. Brian lamb based on what you saw here this week, what do you want to become in the future of all of the jobs people had that spoke to you . My dream would be Public Service at the military mentors have really shown me i want to serve for sure after college, so that was really cool to see the perspective. Brian lamb lets take advantage of your hand being up. Vermontfrom burlington, and the most inspiring person i have heard all week is my military mentor of the u. S. Air force. She has inspired me with her dedication to Public Service and serving the United States of america. She is an inspiration with her and the wisdom that she has been able to impart on our group this week. Brian lamb is she in this room . She is. Brian lamb where is she sitting . She is sitting right over there. [applause] brian lamb right there . [applause] brian lamb explain what mentors do during this week. Mentors havery been given groups around six or seven kids per mentor and day has been explaining to us the role of adequate etiquette and a quorum in the various decorum in the various settings we have had as well as keeping us organized and on time. They have also told their stories about working for the United States of america and what that has meant to them, and i did not expect my military mentor to play such a big role in my experience here but she really has, and i appreciate that very much. Brian lamb guess were i am going next . [applause] [laughter] brian lamb it is a bit of a but i am going to the military mentor to find out what her story is next. Again andur name why do you think she is such a good mentor . I thought sheme was such a bright kid, but i do not know. [laughter] honestly, im not sure how i ended up in the company of military mentors. I have not been involved with youth and volunteering as much as many of my colleagues. They have extensive backgrounds in this work and i feel fortunate to be among them. Brian lamb where are you stationed . I am at Los Angeles Air force base in california. Brian lamb how long have you been in the military . Almost 12 years. Brian lamb . why did you go into the military . I wanted to do what my grandparents did come like giving back to the United States before they pursued their own careers whether that be public are putting food on the table. I did not give thought as to whether that was traditional for women, it seemed american. Brian lamb you change your mind . Yes, sir. Brian lamb lets thank you very much. [applause] brian lamb lets switch. I was going to switch but this young lady has something she wants to say. Thank you. I am from wilmington, North Carolina and at the speaker who most inspired me this week would have to be mr. Jack warren, the director of the society in cincinnati which, some background on that is essentially the oldest Historical Society of its kind in the United States. Ideology thate prefaced the revolutionary war and the declaration of independence. Mr. Warned, i have to admit, she was not the speaker i was most looking forward to but when he got up and started talking about how the beginning of our nation essentially revolutionized the ideals of individual liberty and the relationship between people and the government and the extent to which people were finally able to be free, i was truly inspired and a tug at the heartstrings a little bit. Brian lamb what are your own plans . I started out this week hoping to be the first female on the Supreme Court, but listening to one of the inspirational legislators that we spoke to, i would like to go into electoral politics and policy making. Brian lamb where do you want to do you know an yeah . T . I dont know. Brian lamb someone else. Duty andher is active we are stationed in south korea. Brian lamb who do you want to talk about . I want to talk about the people we met from nasa. It was interesting to me with the administrators and others from the goddard center. Although some of us may not be interested in pursuing stem careers it was inspiring to hear how passionate people were about science and expanding the frontiers of what we know, especially mr. Bolin who gave us a lot of insight into looking into where our tax money is going and asking the rude questions that we need to ask, and hearing how personable he was, seeing how he attracted his audience so compellingly, that was really amazing, just to feel that passion from people from nasa was a big take away from this week. Brian lamb are you interested in going to mars . Actually, after seeing movies so martian and youre to gravity i think a lot of people are interested. That would be amazing. Brian lamb i want to switch and find out when you have been thinking this week about politics. You met a lot of politicians, i assume youre watching the. Residential campaigns you probably came in here with ideas of what you thought political people were like up close. I want to find out what you are thinking, this fellow has his hand up. Nathan from oklahoma. Brian lamb what is your high school . Booker t. Washington high school. Brian lamb we had 2800 entries in the big winner was from Jenks High School in tulsa, oklahoma. It is terrific. They make five to seven minute documentaries. Wanted to get that plugin for oklahoma. What do you think about politics . I think like many other people were fairly skeptical watching the derbies that are the debates each week and i think one of the most important thing is it reaffirmed my faith and politics and the political process because the truth is these people, these people we see on television, cspan are real people. When we saw president obama, perhaps the thing that stood out the most to me was the bags under his eyes, he was tired, he is a real person. I thought that that was perhaps most interesting. Brian lamb what do you think when you see the campaign, is that real . To an extent. These are real people with real ideas that transform themselves. I think perhaps the biggest dichotomy could be between the republican debates where people were attacking each other in last night, people were civil and had a substantive debate. I think it is the real people to the extent that the polling tells them to be. Brian lamb yes, sir. I am just in from knoxville, tennessee. Brian lamb what are you thinking . I am really impressed, like nathan was saying, that even though they seem hardheaded and unable to compromise there is compromised taking place. They are all well reasoned individuals, so even though they seem to drop the hardline, a lot of times they are able to justify that based on their moral or economic beliefs about politics. Brian lamb what is your reaction to watching the campaign . I think a lot of that is distorting the media. Always say no press is bad press, so getting their name out there, getting attention is more of the drive and motivator, but i think when you look underneath at least with the majority of the campaigns, with the exception of one or two, they do have plans, intentions and goals they want to make happen and i think what we are saying to the campaign process is simply a tool to get in office and make this happen. Brian lamb what are your plans . I am going to the university of tennessee, knoxville and i hope to go to moscow. Lost will. School. Brian lamb yes, sir. Wilkins fromon hadi so, mississippi. To answer your question about politics, i think the thing that struck me this week was how distorted our view of politics has become through a really politicized media. When i met senator roger wicker of mississippi who is very conservative, something mississippians are proud of. I noticed that after we took pictures he walked up to senator cory booker and shook his hand and they both a huge smiles on their faces. I was kind of surprised he does the media teaches us that democrats and republicans are supposed to be at odds with each other. I think that people need to to beize, we need respectful toward each other and we need to understand that senators are respectful toward each other and that will be more conducive to getting real policy done instead of just the trail thvitriol. Brian lamb does the politician have any responsibility . Yes. They need to be respectful toward each other. Even though we disagree, we are all working toward the same goal , want what is best for the United States. We just disagree on the past to reach that goal. To reach that goal. Brian lamb is there anyone that does not like what they see with this campaign, willing to stand up and talk about it . I dont think i have talked to you, have i . I am laura wagner and i go to school in delaware. Brian lamb what about this campaign . It has gone so far extreme. The republicans have gone very far to the right and the democrats have gone very far to the left and most americans are moderate voters and so the tough part about that, as a moderate voter, how we can bring compromise back to the middle because compromise is the foundation of this nation and i believe if we want to go forward and do the best we can we have to find a middle ground, some are not polarizing on the right or the left. Brian lamb what do you think is motivating this . I think a lot of this is standup candidates, soundbites in the media. The module can Say Something horrible and it pushes everybody so far to the right donald trump can Say Something horrible and it pushes everybody so far to the right. Right says that donald trump is not a conservative. That is debatable. He has some very bizarre policies and candidates like ted cruz are also very far to the right. Insanity this campaign, it has polarized everyone. Brian lamb who else has something to say about this campaign . I go to school in west virginia. Brian lamb where . Martinsburg. Brian lamb what do you think . Politics is hard to talk about because there such a wide range of everything. All of the topics that they cover are just very broad and a very extensive. It is very hard to talk about politics, especially in this world of serious bipartisanship and the severe divide. She said, polarization. When you have a Campaign Like this, you have strong willed people who want to make such a strong difference. You see a very wide view of strong opinions and that leads to a lot of tension and a lot of friction. Brian lamb never in the history have some of people watched the debates during primaries. Good or bad . If you like sports it is really good. [laughter] brian lamb is a drawing more people into the discussion . I do not know if it is bringing them into the discussion but it is bringing them into the sporting of
