virginia congressman frank wolf is a republican and a member of the house appropriations committee. you're upset among other things, that this country, tunisia that released our one and only suspect got 300 plus million in aid, why are we funneling aid to them. >> we should not be and they're about to become a millennium and means advantages. we should be cutting off the aid. the fbi team was there for five weeks and the tunisians would not allow them to interview the fellow. they went back and finally invited them to come back in after a lot of pressure. they were with him for about three hours, had his lawyers and judges there. this individual was involved in the benghazi consulate attack. he was involved. we knew he was involved and yet they released him and he walks the streets. there's also another individual in egypt we have not had access to and we give egypt a lot of money, also. >> megyn: the guy who was in tunisia is ali harzi and this is the guy who has been released. already, some are asking the question, mark theeson, a former bush speech writer and comes on this progra

. >> i know you talked to frank wolf of va.ell you about. >> that he was on the ground during the attack. and the congressman is very upset with his release. here's what he had to say. >> he was involved in the attack of the american consulate in benghazi. he was there. so he's really partially responsible for the death of four americans. secondly, we give the tunisians $420 billion in federal aid. we'll ask they the u.s. cut the aid off. >> now, separately, u.s. officials have told us they believe that he was sending details of the attack on social media while it was happening. so that's another reason for the congressman to believe he was on the ground at the time. >> now, one thing that's been the focus of this is the role of al-qaeda, an al-qaeda linked group. but i know that you have some new information. this man who's now been released and his brothers links to al-qaeda. >> seems to be a family tie. according to sources, tareq, there's a picture there, this is from the iraqi interior ministry. sources tell us he was invo

frank wolf. in fairness, he announced the closing of guantÁnamo.st of the worst, a statement culpably follows because with 40 of the people have been cleared by the bush administration. either cheney was fine consciously or he didn't know the facts. in any event, the obama administration didn't take that long. when they are going to take readers into virginia, frank wolf said don't you dare do that. the obama administration backed down. from that moment they said you can't take it. so what he's got to do again if he's got to grow a pair of big ones, but it's got to have a plan any skype to work it. there's problems, but it's doable. it will take a few months, but he could do it. there's no political value. >> is your legacy. >> where am i going? sorry. [inaudible] colonel davis mentioned "the new york times" yesterday and i was wondering a corollary of this previous question, but there are might be a wrongly number of individuals who have intentions and i know that mr. wilner said if they were brought here because argued the intention, but there's

frank wolf stood up and said don't do that and they backed down. the obama administration backed down. from that moment on congress if you can't take them. what he has got to do again this grow pair of big ones and push it, have to have a plan and work it. there are problems but it is doable and he has the power to do it. it will take a few months that he could do it. >> there is no political value in doing it. >> it has to be a moral imperative. his legacy. >> the lady here. >> where am i going? >> sorry. from the constitution project task force on detainee treatment. colonel davis mentioned in the new york times yesterday, wondering corollary off of the previous question, there are rightly or wrongly a number of individuals slated for indefinite detention and if they were brought here we could begin to argue against detention but the argument is the merging that if they were to be brought here, if guantanamo were to be closed they would likely be held in prisons where conditions would be much worse than at guantanamo. >> you mentioned the word li

you've got adam kinziger and scott rigell and frank wolf.ttee darrell issa would be very proud of. >> come on. what could they possibly say that would be of any benefit to the republican party? >> maybe stick tim scott on the panel or something. >> sure. if he wants to be on the panel. or how about marco rubio? or how about senator cruz from texas? the idea that you're going to have three white men come up with strategies to appeal to people of color and women to help save the republican party, i repeat what i said before, it's bananas. >> okay. that's the second bananas. krystal, there are some other details that are leaking out about their itinerary and perhaps i should say oozing out. for instance, patrick doyle, the ceo of dominos pizza is giving a presentation on quote, turning it around. that sounds apt for this audience. >> that's a smart booking. that makes sense. >> you think he makes sense? >> having panels about how to talk to minorities and women led by white men is not the best turnaround. one thing that has been amazing coming

then they want to take that group into virginia, frank wolf said don't do that, and they backed down, the obama administration backed down. then congress said you cannot take them. what he's got to do is grow a pair of big ones, but he's got to have a plan and these guys to work it. there are problems, but it's doable, and he has the power to do it. it will take a few months, but he could do it. >> there's no political value in doing it. >> it has to be moral. >> it's your legacy. >> the lady behind you. >> where am i going? >> sorry. i'm from the constitution project on the detainee treatment. colonel davis managed the dark times yesterday. i was wondering, there are a number of individuals who have been slated for indefinite detention. he just said if they were brought here, we could begin to argue against the indefinite detention, but there's also the argument emerging that if there were to be brought here, it's a guantanamo or to be closed, they would likely be held in federal super max prisons, where the conditions would be much worse than at guantanamo. your thoughts? >> if i co

congressman frank wolf told me that harzi for the attack. a video posted on a group, a video which we believe shows ali harzi being greeted after the release and it's a nonmilitary group. there's a jihadist song that plays throughout and at the very end you hear a voice. we translated it. march my brother on the path of jihad. we cannot verify the you a then tis tea of this video but it does appear that it connects ali harzi with a known militant group in tunisia. this is going to further outrage u.s. officials and others that he's been release sdpld we're getting new information about ali spaz harzi's brother as well in. >> yes. counterterrori counterterrorism sources are telling us that his group is involved with al qaeda in iraq. there's a picture of him. he was one of about 100 detainees who escaped from a prison in iraq last september. he had been sentenced to death for his involvement in attacks by that group. he's still at large. he, the brother of ali harzi who was released from tune neesh shan custody yesterday. we're connecting the

congressman frank wolf, influential in the release of foreign aid, has been keeping track of the harzihs. >> your response to this? >> i'm disappointed. one, he was involved in the attack of the american consulate in benghazi. he was there. so he's really partially responsible for the death of four americans. secondly, we gave the tunisian government millions in foreign aid. if the safety department doesn't cut it off, i will ask them to do that. here they release a guy that is walking the streets of tunisia. >> reporter: wolf complainted that the 236789 bi had for months been denied access to harzi. the fbi questioned him last month. we asked a former fbi agent tom fuentes whether that affect ts the investigation. >> a judge in another country is not the same as a judge in the united states. judges here are not involved in the investigation. >> reporter: fuentes says the fact that the fbi agents were allowed to ask questions is more than they often get. some say harzi was freed because of a lack of evidence. we've pressed authorities here in tunis and washington. we've asked for a cut

guest: it originated with congressman frank wolf. he was concerned like so many people are about could it be degrading our society and there wasn't much to go on. he made funds available to study this. host: is it fair to say what you saw in grand theft auto has been surpassed as far as violent content is concerned? guest: the question of realism of content and graphicness, video games can be made in all kinds of level of cartoon or realism. and there's research on what people think is real. it was the emotional value. is there aspect of real places or people. does the blood look real? one reason the germans want reduced blood or turn green or look because of robe ots is because of history they have. in this parents can be more upset about cartoon nudity which jermsance would say is ridiculous. host: jim from texas. caller: basically what part of what i was going to say somebody said it in a twitter. i was 62. when we were kids we would go in the back yard and shoot our friends and kill them. they would get up and whatever play cops
