in the center of the story is oliver north, i found an incredible document on the iran contra if you remember that scandal that eventually enveloped the reagan administration. oliver north was in a counterterrorism unit in the middle of the white house and he wrote in a document to his boss we have to make the "achille lauro" work because we have 2 diapered attention from iran contra. never write things on documents that may become declassified one day. it wasn't a snoopy reporter 30 years down the line who will find it. i had many lines of stories going on, the family story, the geopolitical story and the legal story. how do you deal legally with people accused of terrorism, and who has jurisdiction over them, and italian ship, and american victim. the more reporting i did, the more material i started amassing and the question was how do you turn this into a story, how do you turn this into a book. luckily in terms of amassing the information i interviewed a great number of people who were still alive, the ambassador, on learning leon klinghofer caused an international scandal. he w

back in the headlines once again but this time it's not for a hostile takeover orchestrated by oliver north of contra fame if you don't know that this time when the national rifle association is suing the city of san francisco why oh why would the n.r.a. sue san francisco us well it definitely has something to do over the city's decision to designate the n.r.a. as a domestic terror. i mean if they offend the n.r.a. calls the city's unanimous approval of the contras so revolution a further insult i can america correspondent on how he has more on the story from miami. the n.r.a. says that san francisco's board of supervisors is trying to discriminate against people quote based on the viewpoint of their political speech on the board of supervisors basically san francisco city council unanimously approved a resolution on september 3rd designating the n.r.a. a quote domestic terrorist organization and calling for the city and county of san francisco to reassess contracts with businesses that also do business with the n.r.a. the n.r.a. says while the designation as a terrorist organization is a f

and oliver north charmed panties of the swooning housewives with his baby blue eyes.ry new president slips into man jambas and plays cato kalin. the iranians enjoyed 400 million in party cash and prizes for releasing american prisoners, again because maybe that was only way to make a deal, a dubious british spy paid millions by dna, law firm and the fb, frickin'i. the rational it may not be right but it wrong not to stop them. point is, all weird and gross, and more common than we would like to admit. but if we know -- if what we know about the story so far is true, it is all impeachable. if it is all impeachable than nothing is, that is the memo. is the president's this for that negotiating just the way the world works? joining me combat iraq veteran bryan suits welcome back. >> thank you. kennedy: mm-hmm. what do you think about this? so far, what you know, what you read, i know you read everything. is this impeachmentable? >> um-- there you know in a circle you know the house democrats are their own echo chamber, they are positive, that them we go the him. but you

. >> lieutenant colonel oliver north devised a scheme to fund the contras by overcharging iran for the weapons. >> he not only supplies the weapons for the iranians but he turned around and supplied the small arms for the contras. the iran-iraq war he supplied weapons for both sides. october 1985. monzer al-kassar, he had allied himself with the palestinian dissident groups. palestinian liberation front wanted to pilot the italian cruise liner "achille lauro," take passengers hostage so they can negotiate with the israeli government to release one of their fighters. monzer was a supplier of the weapons, he brought the weapons from poland and turned it over to the fighters. >> palestinian terrorists have highlighted an italian cruise liner in the mediterranean and have threatened to start executing american passengers. >> four palestinian fighters separated the americans and jewish passengers from all the other passengers. marian and leon klinghoffer were on the vessel. a jewish family from new york. at one point they were telling people they were going to start killing passengers if th

contra john poindexter threw the thing into the shredder machine and fawn hall did as well at oliver north's office. they can't do that anymore. what did they do? they took the document marked secret which is a fairly low level of classification and they put it on the super uber sensitive classified network at the white house which only a very hugh handful of individuals have access to, in effect shoving it in the desk drawer so it would never see the light of day. >> along with the other sensitive secrets like plans we may have for foreign leaders and assets we may have placed in foreign capitals, correct? this was right up against some of the more vital secrets we keep. >> that's right. for covert action programs including things like the raid on osama bin laden's compound in pakistan in 2011. >> so, matt, in addition to learning just now that ruh-roh is a term of art in national security, we learned today this was squirrelled away for political reasons. that is a distinction with a big difference here. walk the folks watching through exactly what that means. >> yeah, so my colleagues josh

internal financial problems generated in part by the fact that according to a claim former president oliver northhey've been spending upwards of $100,000 a day on legal bills is informing the nra's calculus when it comes how to handle this particular moment in the history of the gun control legislation in this country. right now the nra is facing very real measurable money problems, and historically, the nra is able to really juice its fundraising any time there are serious and meaningful discussions on capitol hill. >> that's interesting. >> about changing gun laws. they go to their supports and say there is going to be gun grabbing. you're going the lose your second amendment rights. only the nra can protect you. they send out tons and tons of email, direct mail, fundraising solicitations, and historically it works pretty well. it will not work if the nra reaches out through donors and say hey, actually, what walmart did is pretty reasonable and we can live with slightly tighter gun laws. they don't make any money of that, and right now what they need is money. >> that's interesting. there is s

member since 1997, i think that is what ousttated, why did you not wayne lapierre and promote oliver northchief executive? north has a lot of character. wayne lapierre, i am not so sure about that and this pisses me off. the second amendment allows us deplorable people to raise up and fight it to radical government. it will not be possible with a single shot rifle and a handgun. host: thank you. guest: let me take the second part of the question first. i heard former vice president biden, now a presidential candidate for the democratic make statements the other day that indicated very clearly that any rifle that is capable of holding more than one round, more than one bullet, is a rational or should be outlawed -- is irrational or should be outlawed. that is nonsense to say you should only have a rifle that can hold one round. the sides -- the size of the magazine has nothing to do with whether or not someone is going to commit a murder or not. that is easy to dispose of. the is just ludicrous what former vice president was saying. with regard to your color's concerns about the -- with reg

olive branch here. nejra: stephen engle, our chief north asia correspondent updating us on the latest news out of hong kongaxa investment managers is with us. we were asking the question the other day how much potential hong kong had to impact the global economy. how much does it figure into your global modeling? david: what we are seeing today is a complex situation and it is unclear the next steps but it is against the global backdrop where investors are looking at economies across the globe. we can see tensions with trade with the u.s. and china, in europe and the economies. then to see the scale of disruption in hong kong, that has weighed on global sentiment. a resolution would be a positive factor? matt: how important is the economy in hong kong? for asianearly a hub businesses, the fourth biggest equity market but it is only the 35th largest economy globally and in the face of the giant u.s.-china trade war, how pr events on this island? david: that depends on how the situation unravels and at the moment, it adds to the backdrop of weakness we see coming through but the key drivers when we are looki

the most fatal shot of the war to the confederate and yet to in the north, after his death generally cannot replace him, that was oliver who said that. interesting. so my final conclusion here, is very visually invade. this is what the army in northern virginia look like as the gettysburg campaign. jackson of course is dead by then and will be replaced by two other corps commanders, richard that is just a soldier, that organization i argued in my final chapter is what created the cascade of tragic events that resulted in confederate defeat at gettysburg. it was not that jackson was not at gettysburg, i want to make that clear, i do not state that. a lot of writers would make the argument that jackson had lived, he would've taken cemetery, i make the argument in the book that his death prior to the campaign beginning, makes the character of the campaign so profoundly different, if for nothing else, the reorganization of the confederate army. that the entire character of the pennsylvania campaign would be utterly different. we would have to corps commanders that would have about two weeks to get used to the new position

north of puerto rico. so i will tell you olive reliable forecast models that we look at, there's a lot of question marks.e along the east coast of florida to pay close attention. this is not just an easy forecast. the fact that it's going to slow down, when does it slow down? we're at 8 miles per hour right now, barreling westward. when does it move northward? i can't really give you a good indication of that. so i need everyone to pay close attention as the storm continues to move westward. it's when it's going to make that northward curve that we might be out of the woods. but because the storm is going to slow down and we're talking about a hurricane for not just hours, but days, that is my concern. my concern is the computer models start going more westward and now that cone has shifted and we could be dealing with not just a tropical storm but a hurricane on board the east kose of florida. big information mere category 5. don't see it very often. potentially devastating, deadly blow to the northwestern bahamas and the east coast of florida, georgia, carolinas, please pay attention. we're not doing t
