I wanna get narrowed to DC where we're joined by a congressman Charlie Rangel Democrat of -- of New York congressman great to see he's been a busy week with every -- -- -- Today they had taken a broad rather than listen to have been as -- re trying to find out how we can save this nation from having a -- Clips that -- destroy our credibility all over the world.

-- what do you make of the the president's comments this morning's -- That and indeed that the congressional leaders who have been with him at the white -- It doesn't strike me as though that what while there may be a spirit of compromise that is not the.

No I don't think you jump in enterprise -- and and just go and look at what I'm not that I think they.

Feeling each other -- I attended a bipartisan meeting.

-- -- Ways and Means Committee we have jurisdiction over the tax aspect of this a problem.

And that you would think we were raised together from the same community -- being bipartisan however.

When he gets -- a question about whose -- is going to be delighted who's gonna do to compromise and negotiation becomes a sellout so.

-- a long way from the I think what the president is doing and should be doing is creating an atmosphere.

Where people could feel comfortable -- talking about their differences I've.

Congressman do you believe in -- -- that we will get to a compromise and do believe that a new hot that Republicans.

Will eventually come round.

To some sort of tax rate increases that the president says.

Absolutely vital in the.

Situation.

I do believe that -- will find a resolution -- I certainly don't believe it based on need bipartisan nature.

Of the congress either the house and senate.

What will do this is the American people.

The American people should be just sped -- To believe that their lives can be kept in -- -- And the security the economic security United States because those of us in Washington even after the election.

Still bickering.

And we're not saying that we going to conclude this with -- any timetable.

I think it's time for the this in his community that religious community to say what was said in his soul motion picture.

I am fed up I'm mad as hell and I'm not taken it -- -- But if you gotta wait for us to do this -- leaving today for another ten days does that sound like we considered it says -- emergency I don't think so.

I congressman Louie got a limited times only get you to bang Ghazi I know you don't consider it.

Necessarily.

I need an issue of national importance right now but a lot of people do and General David Petraeus former CIA director.

Apparently.

Told.

Some of -- colleagues on the hill that enclosed hearings today.

That he always believed it was a terrorist attack and that the CIA's talking points that pointed towards and -- Syria.

An al-Qaeda in the Islamic regret being involved in this.

Well alternative biffle Susan Rice now famously or infamous -- went on to the Sunday -- shows and said it was a spontaneous attack.

That appears to be grist to the middle.

To those on the Republican side who say that the administration.

Lied to the American people.

While.

I I don't I certainly don't see it that way it validates the fact.

That Susan Rice articulated.

The document altered or not that was given to her.

And so that should exonerate her if the only information she had listened to fool Colin has had to document she got.

The real question should be eight who doctor did and for what reasons.

And when you're dealing -- intelligence and national security I really think in view of the inches as shown in this settlement should be forthcoming.

But the fact that intelligent information -- -- that opted.

I don't see anything surprising about that -- really think the issue is why was it all to.

All right congressman -- -- great pleasure to told you.
