>> charlie: : welcome to our program. tonight joe nocera and bethany maclaine lay out the narrative of how we got to the economic crisis we just went through. >> much of what goldman did in getting out and understanding they had a problem and earlier than anybody else and kind of getting out so they were whole i think they did a lot of things they should be ashamed of. >> charlie: well, list them. >> primarily this is a firm who's first core principle is our clients come first. our clients' interest come first. guess what, they took full advantage of their clients to shove lousy securities down their throats and basically did not tell them what they thought of the securities and they did so knowing knowing they're whole goal was to reduce their exposure to risk and lay it off on their own clients. do i think that's wrong morally wrong, yes i do. >> i think it was ethically wrong of wall street to buy up mortgages, package them up and sell them off to investors saying they were doing due diligence saying they were investig

>> charlie: welcome to our program. the tonight steve rattner talks about his legal difficulties with the attorney general's office, the attorney general and governor andrew cuomo. >> based on every precedent the way the attorney general handled this case there was no settlement in monetary terms. i already settled through the sec and that money probably actually comes back to new york state. but i've already settled in exactly the same fashion that every one of these dozen other firms have settled in. so everything else is just frankly close to extortion. >> charlie: also this evening, the secretary of homeland security, janet napolitano tony. >> the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking about going on to mass transit or to maritime. what do we do to strengthen our protections there? and then i think what we as a country need to be thinking about is what is the role in prevention. >> charlie: rattner and napolitano when we continue. maybe you want school kids to have more exposure to the arts. maybe y

charlie rangel has been in congress over 40 years. he has many long lasting relationships with people on both sides of the aisle. if you talked to a lot of republicans and democrats, they both say, we kind of like charlie rangel, always been straightforward with us behind closed doors and always willing to make a deal. what you're seeing today will be an uncomfortable moment if charlie rangel appears at the sentencing hearing where the verdict is delivered. you can see some sort of interaction like that.ç we have to say it is a surprise to see him there today. there's no indication he would show up. i don't think it's an absurd thing to say that charlie rangel will make news when he decides to respond to the charges put against him. >> he insisted there was no wrong doing, even after the verdict against him in the ethics violations. and again, we're watching him in this hearing with the ethics committee. and this is the penalty phase of his procedure. and i should mention it comes long after the initial investigation began. i mean th

>> well, you're right, charlie. i mean you talk to any indian official and it always reminds me of talking to israelis 20 years ago and yasser arafat and the p.l.o. when they're talking about pakistan, these indian officials. so it's a deep neural jim relationship. it's centered in the dispute over kashmir and jammu and unfortunately india views that as entirely an internal issue and therefore has never invited or allowed the kind of external mediation we've done in the arab-israeli conflict. so what we've been nudging india to do-- and president obama did that on this trip-- is to try to be... make a more forward-leaning stand in resolving... finding some kind of resolution on kashmir with pakistan in the hopes of relieving some of the pakistani anxiety so pakistan won't look at afghanistan as somehow its strategic depth in the next war with india. because, you know, it's something that it's very, very harm to feel american foreign policy right now or debilitating, the fact that pakistan is so obsessed with india t
