today and the head lean was about richard phillips, the mission we're trying to do.ced to the entire store, i sure wish someone would do something about this. [laughter] i'm right behind him. and i'm recognizing the irony, and i tap him on the shoulder and i say, buddy, you pay for that shit and we're going to do something about this now. he staring ate me and said i'm not kidding the national security timeline is squarely on your very broad shoulders. he moved out of the way. and i got to work on time, and 15 hours and 46 minutes later we were in the indian expose rescued ripped phillips a day and a half label -- later because we we are prepared. the movie wasn't accurate. good movie. but it wasn't accurate. it's funny, i always get asked how accurate was the movie. i say depends on who is asking. right here, 70% accurate. happy hour, i'm talking to the laidy, 1 machine% accurate, i took all three shots. >> i'm serious. you got to figure, the sunshine -- that's wasn't the mission. we went in there 0 rescue the hostage. the snipers were in their own beds in virginia

take us through that. >> for richard phillips we were in virginia beach.riday in 2009. i was at my daughter's easter tea party. we set up a buffet line, a school where marine corps parent and army parents going through this buffet line to get cookies and stuff. as i was walking to my daughter i got a message, and we will get him now so went to say goodbye. i mentioned that was part of combat. getting shot at is easy, looking your kids in the eye and realizing it is the last time you will see each other is hard. there is a difference between kissing your kid good night and kissing your kids goodbye so i kissed her goodbye and turned around and went to work. a funny part of the story, a set amount of time to get there and rescue anyone, a certain amount of time, a set amount of time, we had never done it in 25 years. i was ahead of schedule and there's a 7-11 outside the base where i worked and i stopped there to get as much cash as i can out of the atm and the reason i'm doing this is we are jumping near the east coast of africa, we might not end up where w

richard: yeah, phillip and barbara butler say they can certainly forgive but they can't forget. it was in this college park neighborhood all these years ago back in 1977. when a neighbor called them and said you have a cross burning in your front yard. now they say they want to sit down, have a face-to-face meeting with the priest who has confessed to doing this. the butlers speaking to reporters with the attorney say they want to ask father william aitcheson why he did come to the house and do this. two days ago he confessed in a first person account he was a k.k.k. member and called the actions depickable. at the time -- despicable. at the time he was a 23-year-old maryland student identified as part of the k.k.k. lodge. he was charged with cross burning, count of making bomb threat and two count of manufacturing pipe bombs and he served several months in jail. butlers won $23,000 in damages but william aitcheson 11 years before being ordained in a priest never paid the amount. with the revelations the butler want compensation and they want to talk to the father. the couple, t

you richard reeve is live and you have been on this since the beginning. >> phillip and barbara butler say they can forgive but they they want to meet with the priest to ask why he did it. >> a big cross. >> they have never forgotten the burning, the smoldering cross one like this in their front yard. >> i have never seen a cross. you see it on television. >> 11 years before being ordained as a priest, william aitcheson was a maryland student and he had been identifieded as exhausted cyclops, leader of k.k.k. lodge. >> we thought if he didn't know anything about us, who sent you. why did you come? >> he would later be charged with the cross burning, making the bomb threat and manufacturerring the pipe bomb. he served 90 days in jail. all of this decades before the first person account on monday admitting publicly he was a k.k.k. member. the statement triggered by the white supremacist violence in char

phillips of cbs. i am joined now by nic richard k, daily mailjournalist and a friend of diana.e was due to leave. it was not unexpected, we have spoken often throughout that summer, but obviously, i didn‘t know it would be the last call i had from her. what was her mood? was she happy? i think she was happy. i think the stars had come together for her. it had been a fraught year, just 12 months since her divorce from the prince of wales, and she was getting her ducks in a row. obviously, she had entered into this late summer romance with dodi fayed which have provoked a huge amount of interest all around the world. but she was very conscious about what she was very conscious about what she should do and what she wanted to do next. i can‘t make it clearer and i have said it over the years — she was pretty fed up with the treatment she felt she received at the media, and she wanted to do something that could give her more control. and that meant that she was going to cease doing those official engagements. i know you and she spoke often. you were photographed once chatting to her

i'm joined now by phillip rucker, covering the president in bridge water, new jersey. democratic senator, richard blumenthal of connecticut is on the judiciary committee and barbara is a former u.s. attorney. a lot to sort through here. let me ask you this, this happened recently. we're finding out about it now document we know if the president knew about this before today? >> that's a great question. we don't know. what we do is that the day of this raid, the president was tweeting his attacks on attorney general jeff sessions, and specifically pointed out that he thought sessions should have gotten rid of the acting fbi director because of his family's connection to the clinton campaign. >> so in terms of manafort now and what we've learned about the raid, it looks like the reporting is pointing to his business activities. a lot of his business activities before he became part of the trump campaign. is there any indication on whether it touches, how it might touch with the role? >> well, it may have touched on the role with the campaign. it is important to remember he was not just an adviser du

to talk about the actions on friday and managing all of these crisis are phillip we go man from the washington examiner and richardick of 11th strlegi legislat. >> i think we should start with the hurricane, responses to natural disasters are no longer just about disasters, tom you were talking about it this morning, the response to hurricane katrina. it's the timing of the reaction, reactions are always tied up in some political response as well. what can the president do from this point forward? a lot argued s in terms of the president's reaction. how can you continue a positive momentum, if you will, responding to harvey >> your first question is how can it continue the positive momentum and that is don't get distracted as he did at 8:00 p.m. friday with the transgender issue, with the issue of on the pardon, which i'm sure we'll get to in a moment. but i think most of his reactions are largely good, but if he's looking for a model to follow, it's fellow republican governor abbott of texas who has been extraordinary. both in the planning and the response, you just had his messages on, which are so clear and uni

history, in '67, when richard nixon first started pandering to this racist element, it wasn't the first time in history, but then he called it the southern strategy, with kevin phillipswho was his adviser, and they decided how can we talk race without sounding like racists? and so they said state's rights. we're against state's rights, for states rights. we aren't really racist. the bottom line is those policies hurt black brown people and in many ways hurt poor white people because they elect people who do not really care about poor white people and working class white people. so the question is, if white nationalists have it on their websites and on their agendas, and say this is what they're supporting, and sessions or any other senator is supporting those policies, then yes, you are supporting the policies of white nationalists, and you cannot just condemn the extremeism of someone running a car through a crowd and saying, well, i'm not like them. that may be true, and we should condemn that, but are you like them in your policy position? because over and over again, this week, notice what bannon is now saying. the agenda, he's saying trump is back, wither' not g
