charlie cole a continuing. charlie: continuing.at is a boy who learned impeccable english in 10 months. my wife said to him after he told us a story and he went through the woods and the jungle in the night, and i said to him, were you afraid of this journey? he said, "of animals and things in the dark, no. only of the police." my wife gave him a journal because she said, when he finished talking, she said, "you are going to be a statesman. the way you articulate your people's journey in life, you need to write this story down, so i am going to get you a journal so you can begin writing. he said to me later in the day, "i like what your wife said to me. i'm going to do that." charlie: this one? mandy: that is a beautiful 18-year-old woman who has a three-month-old baby, and she wept speaking to my wife and myself, fought to talk to us. she taught farrad -- she is her english teacher. she found us later with the camera and said, "i want to tell my story." she said how people have violated her along her journey, but she was careful t

charlie: what makes america?re is a good kind of american exceptionalism and a bad kind. the bad kind is the united states is completely unique and above all other nations, it is without sin, without blemish. the problem with this kind of exceptionalism is it refuses to face up to the mistakes that are part of our past. there's another kind of american exceptionalism, although it is not usually called that, which i'm completely happy to affirm. that is the idea that this is a unique experiment in democracy. an attempt to make a nation of nations and a people of peoples. this is something which many political philosophers thought would be impossible. that you could only have a republican form of self-government. charlie: is this because of the genius of the founders? they were geniuses, but imperfect geniuses. philip: i agree with you. they were imperfect. charlie: but they had a sure sense of the purpose of the nation they wanted to establish. philip: i think that they did. i think you can find in a way that they

charlie: how would you deal with him?: first of all, it is essential to have a serious discussion with the chinese. by serious i mean not just about whether they will comply with some sanctions regimes, which they need to do. but a serious understanding that if north korea were to go down by whatever means, we would not try to disadvantage china's strategic interests. we would not be putting troops over there. we need a serious deep dive with the chinese. secondly, and this is part of why we have seen vice president pence and secretary tillerson and secretary mattis recently in the region, we need to reassure our allies. i was just in south korea a few days ago. there was a lot of concern not only about the north koreans but also how the new u.s. administration is managing this. charlie: with respect to him, based on what you said, can you expect to have a reasonable agreement that satisfies the interest of both countries? chris: you notice i talk about what we have to do with our allies there, and i talk about what we ne

charlie: bizarre meaning? sen. warner: bizarre meaning at least the press reports of the chairman of that committee going down to the white house and perhaps getting information by a white house employee and coming back the next day and briefing the president before he shared it with any members of his committee. that is just not the way the intelligence committee in the senate works. our responsibility first and oremost is to follow the intelligence wherever it leads, to make sure we do this in a bipartisan fashion, and to make sure the intelligence community cooperates with us. we owe that allegiance above anything else and that is how we will conduct ourselves. charlie: it is hard to make a judgment when you are beginning this, but you have seen a lot of the evidence so far, have you not? sen. warner: i have seen a lot of the underlying evidence that went into the january 6 report. i have also seen some of the materials around the so-called dossier. i have also seen that raises a lot of other questions. and i ha
