from his brother ernie what i learned is, that bill would take a piece of paper, write the first line and write the last line, he would cut out the middle, blame the sensors. it's because he hated if you letters ominously just easier. [laughter] for the servicemembers who decided to write something, the history they were witness to was extraordinary. this is one of the letters we receive. dear sis, it's nine oh 5:00 a.m. on saturday morning. our anti- air craft comes are hammering away. people are rushing for him you look at the upper right-hand corner, december 7, 1941 uss new orleans, pearl harbor. he is right there in the eye of the storm describing what it's like. because he was trapped there is nowhere to go. is a 50 page letter which he could not send originally. thankfully he survived which is why we have the letter. because we get letters and e-mails from different generations you see these echoes over time. one of the most powerful letters received was 14 pages handwritten by young woman who is also witness to one of most perfect days of american history. she writes a letter

from his brother ernie who sent it in, what i learned is they would take a piece of paper, time and time again, right the last lane. he would cut out the middle, blame the sensors, because he hated writing letters home and this was just easier. for the service members, the history they were witness to was extraordinary. this is one of the letters we received, it is sunday morning, we have been bombed for over an hour, our antiaircraft guns are yammering away, he is trapped in the forward engine room of the ship he says i can hear men screaming over the intercom of people are rushing for gas masks, look at the upper right-hand corner, december 7, 1941, uss new orleans, pearl harbor. he is right there in the eye of the storm describing what it is like it because he is trapped in the forward engine room there was nowhere for him to go, he wrote a 50 page letter which he cannot send originally, he held onto it and thankfully he survived which is how we have the letter. we get emails from different generations, we see echoes overtime, similar experiences. one of the most powerful letters we r

whenever we talk about ernie madoff, i always -- bernie madoff, i always think about the money.ifferent from what irving the card has been doing? eric: right. he has paid out $9 billion over eight and a half years and has $2 billion more to hand out. richard brand got the $4 billion directly from the doj and was tasked with handing it out and hasn't done any of it. what just waiting -- -- four red tape? the doj will ultimately decide that, but he missed a couple of deadlines to start repaying. there's a complete difference in the types of cases that he was willing to take and what we are talking about here. i notice that we are talking about being in the region of a billion dollars. if you look at the fees in the case, they are significantly lower, the tens of millions. there are significant differences when they are compared to the cases and the types of investigatory work that is needed. but i guess my question, rather than ranting on about the differences would be -- how do you better regulate this? this is not just one example of putting it into administrative hands and they

before i met ernie, i, i thought politics is about theater and showmanship and nothing happened or got fixed benefit of focusing on the large-scale changes many people ask back from politicians, he showed me how to see the people whose problems he could immediately impacted us all. the people who worked for him also seemed generally dedicated to helping constituents, which is not necessarily true of other senators. many politicians have staff made up of climbers who move from one senator to another to get up the ladder with the ultimate goal of coming legislative or chief of staff. of course, some politicians staff members want to go on and run for office themselves that a lot of times ambition in washington is just about being powerful and can be powerful without a seat in congress. bernie was so committed to issues in vermont of politics before that for madison to change my major to political science. one day at the end of my internship, two important things have been. the first was i got a call come in for bernie from a 608 area code which is madison, then. i told the man on the lin

this is like the gave away the whole pacific campaign, and from this brother, ernie, what i learn is that bill would take a piece of paper, write the first line on top -- time and time again -- write the last line. he would cut out the middle. blame the censors all because he hated writing letters home and this was easier. now, for the service members who actually decided to write something, the history that they were witness to was just extraordinary. this is one of the letters we received also from -- dear sis, it's sunday morning. we have been bombed for over an hour. this antiaircraft guns areamerring away. he says i can hear people screaming over the intercom. you look the upper right-hand corner, december 7, 1941, uss new orleans, pearl harbor. he is right the in eye 0 the storm describing it and there is would nowhere for him to good and it it's was like a 50-page letter which he could not send originally. he held on it to and thankfully survived, which is how we have the letter. and because we get letters and now e-mails from different generations you. get to see the echos ov

the third hour of ernie and company starts right now.nd the nation. all eyes on judge andrew napolitano is on us. the big question now is who is going to take over. and there's even a chance that the number two now acting director may actually had a chance here. they bring the type of package the classic baggage that donald trump said he would reject in washington. they are the number two person in the justice department. is married to a physician who receives $750,000 from a political action committee to finance her campaign. so far no problem. the political action committee is controlled by terry mccall. vice president mike pence is speaking pence is speaking we want to take a quick listen. >> he is not under investigation and as the former director clapper of the director of national intelligence said there is no evidence of collusion between our campaign and any russian officials. let me just be clear. that's not what this is about. they took strong and decisive leadership here. to say the safety of the american people first by accep
