charlie rangel in the course of this, the rhetoric got quite over the top. charlie rangel at one point compared mayor koch to bull connor. because he was mad. and what he was really mad about was, you know, he told ed at one point, you made me a district leader again. i have to be here fighting for this damn hospital, and i could be a lot more effective paying attention to the business of the ways and means committee in washington for the city. so ed has a strong sense of justice. he hued to what seemed to be the right managerial decision. but at the same time in terms of the politics of the city, in terms of the politics of race in the city, it was, it was a decision that had political costs that weren't worth the $6 million that it would have cost to fix up the hospital which eventually, actually, they spent -- in a more affluent time, somebody spent the $6 million, and there's a clinic that columbia runs of what is now condos. >> okay. it was a very painful moment many time. you have to understand -- moment in time. you have to understand that new york ci

. >> charles rangel came the first black chairman of the powerful house ways and means committee. >>> up next, the hottest stars in our world. >> i know that if this is successful, then it will open the doors for more movies. and i didn't care if i was in it this movie for two minutes. i just wanted to be a part of it. >>> this is samuel l. jackson and you're watching our world with black "enterprise." >>> since the beginning, celebrities have always been front and center. they've entertained us and shocked us when they pushed the envelope. >> i guess nobody told you that i'm maddea and what i want i get. >> i the only reason i started doing this character is to make people laugh and give them a message. there are so many messages that need to be brought to our community and there is no way to do it like nobody has an effective way to do it. this character has been such a great tool to get a message into the community. i'm so proud of that. >> tyler perry made great inroads of the first african-american to own a film studio. but he received sharp criticism for the type of films he was

rangel. >> thank you, mr. chairman. it's a great pleasure to see you here and the difference being made with our dear friends in korea. i first went there in 1950 under different circumstances but i cannot believe the tremendous advancement they've made economically abdemocratic principles and quite frankly it's much more difficult to alter agreements that have already been made than be involved in the first instance and you've done a fantastic job and i'm so pleased to hear that. you know better than most people that we've reached a point, due in part to high unploipt, that when you say trade, people believe you're selling out made in the u.s.a., you're transferring jobs, of course. what the republican and democrat have business or labor, i don't think we do a good job in identifying exactly where is the job creation? it just seems to me as a former mayor that if you were selling anything, the bottom line is, what's in it for me, yak. that's how you sell things. that's how politicians do. so if you'd asked me as to wha

congressman charlie rangel is offering tax tips.gressman has included what he calls the charlie rangel report, which features tax advice. charlie rangel was recently found guilty by his colleagues in the house of representatives of multiple ethics violations, including the family to pay taxes on his dominican the law. those are some of the latest headlines on c-span radio. >> you are watching c-span, bringing you politics and public affairs. every morning, it is "washington journal." we days, watch live coverage of the u.s. house, and weeknights, congressional hearings and policy forms. on the weekends, you can see our signature interview programs. on saturdays, "the communicator's." you can also watch our programming anytime pepper -- anytime at c-span.org. it is washington, your weight. -- your way. host: bill gertz is the geopolitical editor for "the washington times." the first page, moammar gadhafi uses bloody force. host: what is happening here, and how was the u.s. responding? guest: i would not like to be in the shoes of the

charlie rangel, you know, has introduced a bill. he knew it was going to go anywhere. basically to revive the draft in order to impose the burdens of war an equity stake. we're going to have a war, let's have consensus around it. let's not have this strange situation with his passive discontent we have a majority against the war but the war continues anyway. we'll come in theory that makes sense. in practice he knows it's not going anywhere. and one reason it's not going anywhere is -- well, a couple of reasons. one is that to justify it across the board trip just to make a strong case that the war is in accordance with american values, and that it is necessary. and one thing that i didn't talk about in my little talk because i saw the clock moving, is the idea that a war is necessary, or that a war is a last resort, is the acme of foolishness. there have been cases in american history, and maybe world war ii was one of them, when after munich, after hitler tore up the munich agreement there was nothing more to do. than to fight. but in virtually every other case if yo

the man who is head of ways and means replacing charlie rangel is dave camp and he is having hearings on this. at the end of this little exercise, i will give you a good note of optimism as to how we have embedded our people in the system. i think things can work to some positive degree. >> i want to take it back. we got ahead of ourselves a little bit. in talk about how we get out of this problem. the president was talking about these investments in the state of the union. should he have been talking about that in the context of long-term fiscal responsibility? this problem we have is not one we can grow our way out of. you could have double digit growth for the next two decades and not solve this problem. this is not a problem that we can tax our way out of. raising taxes does not do a darned thing to solve the problem. the demographics in this country have changed drastically and people my age are becoming recipients of these entitlement programs. taxing doesn't do a darned thing to control the fact that health care costs are growing at a faster rate than gdp. if you wanted to cont

how come charlie rangel? what happens to blagojevich, who supposedly she did that government out all these moneys? guest: that is a huge problem that people agree with you on. this unfortunate to a sense of roles of powerful people that are different from the rules of everyday people. i do not think that is what america is made of. as we move forward, the accountability issue will grow ever larger. i think that we are starting to see some government reports coming out about the crisis that will fill in some of the pieces of the puzzle that have been missing. this is an incredibly excruciatingly slow process. i feel like i have been writing about this now for four years, and i still feel i do not know the half of it. i pledge to do my very best to get a final accounting and a final reckoning and hold people accountable. from cleveland, ohio. caller: the reason you do not know the answer to the question, is you are ready to pries grab blame. the ownership society was put out by the republicans and bush, a progr

after many years of rangeling, there's fcc rules on the books. how long they remain is up to the courts. as for my company, the rules reflect how we run the business. we are prepared to abide by them and committed to do that in the fcc transaction review, but how the rules get interpreted and implemented will matter. that brings us to a process point. if internet issues are used for filing of complaints with the fcc and other process, i'm concerned the politically ugly process behind the adoption of the rules will be extended for years to come with further diversion of attention from resources of key national goals from the national broadband plan. we need better approaches, institutions that are innovative, and i'm pleased to be involved with such an institution, called the broadband international group. it's another acronym for the table. let me try to summarize what this thing is. during our bit torrent dispute three years ago now, we learned about something that our engineers knew well, but the policy team did not. the internet community toda
