but i was young the time of packwood, charlie wilson, and i think of some of the things, charlie wilson. teach them to type but you cannot teach them to grow breasts. he used a more vulgar term. and i wanted to close with something that i just had somebody tell me recently. this is about a member who is here now. i do not know who it is. but someone who i trust told me the situation. as never asked a staffer to bring them over some materials to their residence. and the young staffer, the young woman whether they are and was greeted with a member in a towel. it was a man. we then invited her in. at that point, he decided to expose himself. she left and then she quit her job. she left, found another job. but that kind of situation, you know what are we doing here for women right now who are dealing with a body like that? not this is really a much more complex situation than i think you know we need to have more training, no the violence that we are seeing at some of these, these are criminal.we get people into the criminal system when you have a crime. i would argue that probably is a cri

during the charlie wilson war time, afghanistan broke russia. now they are going to break us. i am seeing american soldiers walk through the opium fields. they don't mess with them. what's wrong with back? that?t's wrong with and what about the millions of dollars to the state department under hillary clinton's watch watch?ou -- cliton's thank you. i don't know what the caller is referring to under clinton. the opium issue, we haven't had a strategy, and not a building government in afghanistan until the recent -- and not a willing government in afghanistan until the recent government. the opium problem is a difficult problem. we haven't had much success in addressing drugs anywhere. to address the narcotics problem, it is going to be difficult. we didn't have the will to do anything. host: good morning. caller: good morning. i have one question. i am very familiar with afghanistan. i have been around it. it is a dry country. there is very limited water available. palms are close to the area they have water. why can't we pay the farmers who cultivate opium so they don't popula

caller: thank you. 9/11 happened, the united backing afghan, during the charlie wilson russia, they broke we -- broke russia. and now them, n there fighting they in there to break us. another question you were opium trade,ut, the i think american soldiers field through the opium like a cow trail. they don't mess with them. that, why ng with didn't they get them out? happens to ng, what $8 million that came missing under the state department under hillary clinton clinton? $8 million, poof, what happened to it? thank you. mr. sopko? billion t me, the $8 under clinton's secretary, i really don't know what the to, but the erring opium issue, part is we haven't strategy and we really have not had a willing in afghanistan until the recent government. change, but t will you're correct, we just did not how to ood strategy on -- -- th the opium anals, helped them build canals. but it is not as easy as crop.ng a new and we're going to have a major report coming out in the next months looking at because we -- security programs, there, we -- results on that lessons learned report, we haven't finished

if you remember the movie "charlie wilson's war."t the end of that after the united states supported afghans to expel russians, charlie wilson tried to get money to build schools and the united states wouldn't do that even though it was just a small fraction of what it would cost , whichthe afghanistans eventually those weapons found their way into the taliban hands. i think that just for goodwill's sake, if we spend the money we are spending on the military to build infrastructure, we would be better off. that is my thought on the matter. host: time for a couple more calls this hour before we take on -- bring on john sopko. other news out there in the fiscal, money, financial areas, consumer areas, here is the usa today headline "record cyber monday could signal. it and remind us that retail has got off to a strong start over the holiday weekend. lou and i -- one of the figures $re is 5.0 3 billion for -- 5.03 billion for cyber shoppers. in the wall street journal, fewer pitfalls from powell and confirmation. they are talking about

i was here in the time of bob -- i think of some of the things like charlie wilson teach him to type they can't teach him to grow breasts, he's more vulgar term. this is about a member here now. the someone i trust told me the situation. this member has to staffer to bring in materials to the residents. the young staffer is young woman was greeted with a member and a towel and invited her in. at that point he decided to expose himself. she left. she quit her job. but that kind of situation, what are we doing here for women right now who are dealing with someone like that. this is more complex situation. we need to have more training another violence is criminal. i would argue that is a crime in that situation. and then that we have a better process that person doesn't have to give up her career. she is talking about how she is very strong and somewhat their desire profession because of what happened. we can have that happen. i appreciate you giving us that opportunity. and that we hear more. >> wheel back. there is no question that sexual-harassment workplace including congress must

when i was working for congressman wolf, there were members like goodtime charlie wilson, hardy, har, ha . famously saying, you can teach them to type but you can't teach them to grow breasts. he used a more vulgar term. at the same time senator bob packwood, this is a bipartisan problem, assaulted over a dozen women and kept a diary of his debotchry. that had been ignored for years. it wasn't acceptable then and it certainly should be now. yet, we have stories of members still in this body today that my colleague, ms. speier, and other victims are bringing forward. i told one such story and i am pleased again that members have responded to that, say there's no place for that type of sexual action in this body. this legislation promotes the essential principles of accountability and personal responsibility. it is bipartisan legislation because bad behavior transcends party labels. men and women and all of us are coming together and you are seeing this beyond this body, obviously, in the corporate world just today. this resolution sends the message, as peggy noonan wrote in the wall st
