we got it numerous arguments with the cia i will kahn dna a second but they deal with that in charlie wilson's war that that, what was i talking about. >> guest: i was asking you about the of haqqani network. >> guest: yes. 1981 when i went to afghanistan and we went to one in particular and one is the best friend in afghanistan the favorite part of the book one reason i'm told was kidnapped sent me to live with a bunch of mujahideen in the mountains with 20 of them in his brother and they were not part of the original group have fled across the country they were called the mujahideen than they were separate. and in 2015 and may be getting ahead of myself but to answer your question to find out who kidnapped me and why it took a long time that it went to the two tribal leaders had known and they arranged for me to figure out how to do that's but as only western journalist and to have three meetings with them and to have many conversations with them they are not part of the mujahideen they raised goats and come from the mountains but this family is remarkable in its the mountains of eastern afg

with the cia analysts on the war, and i will come to that in a second but they do with it in charlie wilson'snd that is, and i just, my mind just went blank. what was i talking about? >> i was asking you about the haqqani network and you told me about speeders were we got intn argument over the haqqani network. in 1981 when a way to afghanistan i went to these major political parties and i went to one in particular. i liked him better than the others, and a man who is today is my best friend in afghanistan, is a major part of my book and the reason why i was kidnapped untold, sent me to live with a group of mujahedin in the mountains. there were 20 of them. the league i was named -- and his brother was abraham haqqani. and they were not part of the original group that fled across, from kabul to pakistan and for what was called the mujahedin. they were separate. in 2015, in april, and i may be getting ahead of myself and hade to do it to answer your question, when i went back to find out who really kidnapped me and why, it took a long time but i went, ended up with two tribal leaders i have kn

given a bit of a legitimacy to administration in terms of foreign policy we've now been joined by charlie wilson us a little commentator and co-host of the podcast hauled to be american he's also formerly from the organization republicans abroad charlie wolf good to talk to you again part of the success story so far of america first. well i think the fact that he's. put changing the priorities i mean we're again waiting from the front as opposed to leading from behind that these are the the obama administration this is someone that has no problems in projecting power as a use of preventing the use of power or the need hope we go to war you know he's standing up i think to north korea sure. it looks a bit scary at the present time if you're someone who are watching from afar it it looks a bit. different than what i think people are used to just catching the last bit of the last person's answer but i think again it's a dramatic change in a welcome change from what we've heard from the last eight years how can you possibly see just interrupt you can you possibly see he's changing policies his team

never called him a liar you know so charlie which isn't much say that you'd have to go on the air charlie wilson says you wouldn't actually look old so i will go on their way that you were saying and write down what we're not so i never asked and i didn't respect it but you don't whereas if you do it. called to account the thing about the world of the world is that you know it will change the world i don't know if it will but it does it does have an interest so push things in a certain direction people need media people need people. is storytelling and storytelling informs and and affects people and i think i think the government realised and gangstas realize that if you can beat a friendly face in a in a film if you can be. whether you're one or the other then you're going to you're going to cut more favor with the public you know i mean so i don't know that what i do know is i don't know much about harry potter but you were in there report of yes so as yet to raise me read all of harry potter. your fault about the ascent of to resume then i don't know if she's in the league with a bunch of wiz

like i played richard phillips, who was kidnapped by smoly pry pats and sully sullenberger and charlie wilsonn when he was alive and you have a meeting with them and you have to say look, in this movie, i'm going to say things you never said and do things you never did and i'm going to be places you never were. dispite those handicaps, i wanted to be as realistic as possible. if you're aiming out in order to not alter the motivations of anybody or the to a ridiculous degree for the sake of dramatic purposes, the order of events, well then you can live up to i think the truth of if you're making a movie about something that really happened, for good, for bad, it becomes a document. a version of events that people will turn to. as being the source of this moment in it's an authoritative source of history. you can't play loose and fast, have to adhere to the facts. >> it's not the first typewriter you get that's important. it's the second typewriter that determines if you're a collector. if you buy a typewriter you ever don't need because you already have a typewriter, what does that say about y

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

for congress bhan wolf just a few years after de rinna there were were members like good time charlie wilsonar. >> ms. >> yes, sir. >> it seems to me walking around that it's almost all women work here and that they're all very pretty. is that common? >> well, congressman wilson has an expression. he says you can teach him to type but you can't teach him to grow [ bleep ]. >> welcome back to "kasie dc." and in washington that in some ways has changed very little since then. in 1988, a congressional staffer filed a sexual harassment claim against jim bates of california. a democrat who denied claims against him. he won re-election with 60% of the vote. a year later they found that bates did indeed harass his staff, but he received little more than a slap on the wriflt and was forced to apologize. in 19901, the woman who filed the complaint detailed what happen with affiliate knsd. >> people came over, put his legs up against mine so that they were between his legs and started riding up and down and kind of grinding and doing this. anden bent down and tried to grab my hands and i'm trying to s

powerful than we are to see the world or the gangster world i mean charlie riches in vain which is that he claims of bug been bugging harold wilson the prime minister that it was in power rather to have a formula how much who's more part of the arts world or the political it's at the thing about gangsters e.g. never eat never after you never called him a liar you know so charlie which isn't much say that you'd have to go oh yeah charlie says he wouldn't actually we will go on the way that you were saying and write down what we're not so i never asked and i didn't want to spend but you don't whereas if you do it legitimately you're called to account the thing about the world of the world is that you know it will change the world i don't know if it will but it does it does have an interest so push things in a certain direction people need media people need people who. is storytelling and storytelling informs and affects people and i think i think the government realised and gangstas realize that if you can be a friendly face in a in a film if you can be. whether you're one of the other then you're going to you're going to cut more

charlie wasick had to cancel the plans yesterday. neighbors in wilson borough said they woke up to the sound of screaming and the intense feeling of heat. the flames destroyed wasick's house and neighbor's and damaged a business. the fire melted siding and a car parked close to the property. >> the heat was unbearable. we were so scared. at times like these is when the community comes together. so much stronger. >> well put. the wilson borough community plans to help the family get back on their feet. the cause of the fire is still under investigation. >>> 6:06. the largest fire burning in southern california is spreading into more communities north of los angeles. with the high winds fanning flames, firefighters are waging a battle with no letup. fire crews are waging an air war on the flames. helicopters, one after another, dropping water to douse the fire. the choppers are dropping slurry, a mix of water and fertilizer, that helps protect the trees and brush from igniting. on the ground, some crews have been working seven days straight with little re

chris wilson and our own charlie gasparino. charlie what do you think of that?e don't know what is compromised and switched to get that. >> well i think it is 22% probably, you know, keep some of the "salt" deduction. that is what i would think. neil: what if they say no. might be more about removing amt thing. but even still no even still. the whole thing is getting screwy in this sense. they really backed away from reaganesque principles on tax cutting. they basically raised taxes on a lot of people to pay for a big corporate tax cut. working-class people are getting very marginal tax cut here. they don't pay a lot of federal incomes to begin with. they pay payroll taxes. they horse trade attacks increase because they didn't take down the rate that much and squeezed deduction. neil: it had to do a lot of this to meet the constraints within reconciliation, i understand that. but to his point, mattie what happens now, if we're left with a corporate rate that both be delayed and hiked a little bit, presumably to pay for other things? ii would guess amt possible.
