your dignity and your hope found expression in his life, and your freedom, your democracy, is his cherished legacy. is hard to eulogize any man, words not just the facts and the dates that make a life but the essential iruths of a person, the private joys and sorrows, the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone's soul. how much harder to do so for a giant in history, who moved a nation towards justice and in the process moved billions around the world?
6:34 am
far during world war i, from the corridors of power, a boy raised hurting cattle and tutored by the elders of his tribe. would emerge as the last great liberator of the 20th century. like gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement, a movement that at its heart had little prospect for success. givedr. king, he would voice to the claims of the and the moral necessity of racial justice. he would endure a brutal imprisonment that began in the time of kennedy and khrushchev and reached the final days of the cold war. prison without the force of arms he would, like
6:35 am
abraham lincoln, hold his country together when it threatened to break apart. and like america's founding fathers, he would erect a constitutional order to preserve freedom for future generations. a commitment to democracy and rule of law, ratified not only by his election but his willingness to step down from power after only one term. [cheers] ep of his life, the scope of his accomplishment, the adoration he so rightly earned, it is tempting, i think, to remember nelson mandela as an icon, smiling and serene, detached from the tawdry affairs. himself strongly
6:36 am
resisted such a lifeless portrait. and applause] a insisted onb sharing with us his doubts and his fears, his miscalculations along with his victories. i am not a saint, he said, unless you think of a saint as a center who keeps on trying. who keeps on trying. it was precisely because he could admit his imperfections, because he could be so full of good humor, even mischief, despite the heavy burdens that he carried him a that we loved him so -- he carried, that he loved him so. he was a man of flesh and blood. a son and a husband.
6:37 am
a father and a friend. we learned so much from him and that is why we can learn from him still. for nothing he achieved was inevitable. arc of his life, we see a man who earned his place in history three struggle and shrewdness and persistence and faith. us what is possible, not just in the pages of history books but in our own lives as well. mandela showed us the power of action, of taking risk on behalf of our ideals. perhaps mandela was right that he inherited a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness, from his father. and we know he shared with millions of black and colored ofth africans the anger born
6:38 am
a thousand stripes, a thousand indignities and 1000 unremembered moments. a desire to fight the system that imprison my people, he said. but like other early giants of -- a and c -- anc [cheers] d is a discipline anger and channeled it into platforms and strategies of action so men and women can stand up for their god-given dignity. he expected the consequences of his actions, knowing that standing up against powerful interests and injustice --
6:39 am
against white domination and i have fought against black domination. i cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and equal opportunity . it is an ideal which i hope to live for and to achieve. but if needs be, it is an ideal for which i am prepared to die." [cheers and applause] mandela taught us the power of action, but he also taught us the power of ideas. the importance of reason and argument. the need to study not only those who you agree with but also those you don't agree with. he understood ideas cannot be contained by prison walls, extinguished by a sniper's
6:40 am
bullet. he turned his trial into an indictment of apartheid because of his eloquence and passion but also because of his training as an advocate. toused decades of prison sharpen his arguments, but also to read his thirst for knowledge to others in the movement. and he learned the language and the customs of his oppressors so that one day he might better conveyed to them how their own freedom depends upon his. ]cheers action demonstrated that .hat ideas are not enough no matter how right, they must also be chiseled in the law and institutions. he was practical. testing his belief against the hard surface of circumstance and history. on core principles, he was
6:41 am
unyielding, which is why he could rebuff offers of unconditional release, reminding the apartheid regime that prisoners cannot enter into contracts. but as he showed in painstaking e transfer ofth power and drafting new laws, he was not afraid to compromise for the sake of a larger goal. and because he was not only the leader of a movement but a skillful politician, the constitution that emerged was worthy of his multiracial democracy. true to it vision of laws that protect my jar -- minority as well as majority rights and the precious freedom of every south african. understood, mandela the ties that bind the human spirit. africas a word in south
6:42 am
--aware that captures mandela's greatest gift. his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that are invisible to the eye. that there is a oneness of humanity. that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others and caring for those around us. can never know how much of this sense was it made him or how much was shaped in a dark and solitary cell. but we remember the gestures him gestures,d small -- large and small, introducing his jailers to our honored guest -- as honored guests at his

inauguration, turning his family's heart break into a call to confront hiv-aids that ofealed the death -- depths his empathy and understanding. he not only embodied it, but he taught millions to find that truth within themselves. totook a man like madiba free not only the prisoner but the jailer as well. to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you. to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cool pass but a means of confronting cruelh inclusion c -- past but a means of confronting it with inclusion and truth. he changed the laws but he also changed hearts. africa,people of south for those he inspired around the
6:44 am
iba's passing is largely a time of mourning and a time to celebrate a heroic life. but i believe it should also prompt in each of us a chance for self reflection. with honesty, regardless of our station or circumstance, we must ask how well have i applied his .essons in my own life it is a question i asked myself as a man asnd as a president. ke south africa, the united states had to overcome centuries of rachel -- racial subjugation. as was true here, it took sacrifice. sacrifice of countless people, known and unknown, to see the dawn of a new day.
6:45 am
michelle and i are beneficiaries of that struggle. [cheers] but in america and in south africa and in countries all around the globe, we cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not yet done. the struggles that followed the quality and universal franchise may not be as filled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important. rld today, wee wo still see children suffering from hunger and disease. we still see rundown schools. we still see young people without prospects for the future. around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs and are still persecuted for what they look like and how they worship
6:46 am
and who they love, that is happening today. cheers] so, we, too, must act on behalf of justice. must act on behalf of peace. there are too many people who legacy embrace madiba's of racial reconciliation but passively resists even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality. there are too many leaders who slaim solidarity with madiba' trouble for freedom but does not tolerate dissent from their own people. [cheers] and there are too many of us, sidelines, us on the
6:47 am
comfortable with complacency or cynicism when our voices must be heard. today --ions we face how to promote equality and justice, how to uphold freedom and human rights, how to end conflicts and sectarian war -- these things do not have easy answers. but there were no easy answers in front of that child born in world war i. nelson mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. south africa shows that is true. south africa shows we can change. that we can choose a world defined not by our differences but by our common hope. we can choose a world defined not by conflict but by peace and justice and opportunity.
6:48 am
we will never see the likes of nelson mandela again. but let me say to the young young of africa, and the people around the world -- you, workcan make his life's your own. over 30 years ago, while still a student, i learned of nelson mandela and the struggles taking place in this beautiful land. in me. stirred something t it will me up to my responsibilities to others and myself and it set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today. and while i will always fall example, heiba's
6:49 am
makes me want to be a better man. he speaks to what is best inside us. this great liberator is laid to rest, and when we have returned to our cities and oined our dailyj routine, let us search for his strength. let us search for his largeness of spirit somewhere inside of ourselves. dark,en the night grows and when in justice weighs heavy on our heart, when our best laid plans seem beyond our reach, let wordsnk of madiba and the that brought him comfort within the four walls of his cell. it matters not how strait the gate, how charged the

7:04 am
designed to prevent a repeat of the 2008 crisis. it would ban banks from proprietary trading. what will this mean for wall street? chief washington correspondent peter cook joins us with the details. you managed to, to worry even though there is supposed to be 1-4 inches of snowfall. little slicking a out here. it just started coming down a little more heavily in the washington area. ,t means for the volcker rule more than a year past due, we will have to wait at least one more day for regulators to finalize the volcker rule because the government is close. the cftc meeting is not going to happen today. there are five federal regulators who all had to weigh in today. willt appears likely they not because of the closure of the federal government. it just means one more day of waiting for wall street. >> the thing with the volcker rule is the rules got tougher as it got closer to the vote. it was unexpected. does that mean the lobbying
7:05 am
groups did not get the job done? >> there has been a ton of lobbying and they have been lobbying every single aspect to it but it is fair to say at the end of the day the rule will be tougher than many expected. especially when it comes to the issue of hedging. for example, no more london whales. the events surrounding jpmorgan had a big impact on what the final language looks like. you have to specifically be targeting a specific risk here as you hedge. you can't just do a broad swath of portfolio hedging. but there is more latitude when it comes to market making. regulators have tried to at least allow the wall street angst to be able to buy and sell securities -- wall street banks to be able to buy and sell securities and stocks to customers without being too restrictive. it is an important tweak. $44 billion last it came from principal trading at the top five items in the u.s.. they were very nervous about
7:06 am
what the language would look like. as they implement the rules is where the rubber will meet the role. these are the paper. it all depends on how they enforce them. >> we are thrilled to bring you this day of the volcker rule -- snow, rain, sleet, whatever. , bloomberg contributing editor. it barely describes his expertise. including his wonderful book on bear stearns "house of cards." chapter seven. total panic. is the total panic on wall street today? >> no. >> is this a non-deal or germane? >> this is relevant because a lot of the banks make an awful lot of money from their black boxes and proprietary trading and hedging and they disguise it. but i have to say, this one really makes me insane. frankly, this is an overreaction. they are trying to fix something that was not broken. i had been against the volcker rule from the beginning. i have unbelievable respect for paul volcker, especially what he did as fed chairman, he is such
7:07 am
a statement -- statesman, but he lost the plot. >> do you think whatever they will are doing will move off the balance sheet, they will still do it but outside the bank? >> number one, they will figure out a way to get around that because there is too much money to be made. but the problem was with non- proprietary trading. this was not about proprietary trading. the fact of the matter, goldman sachs saved itself by flipping -- putting on a $4 billion proprietary trade. forget the hedge part. it was a proprietary trade against the mortgage market in december of 2006, they made $4 billion on the one trade alone, made $17 billion pretax profit in 2007 when everyone else was going down the truth -- two. tube.going down the >> houston we amended? >> take it, move into the wastebasket and drop it in. >> you hear him say throw within the trash but we will obviously not see it happen.
7:08 am
but what kind of legal battles can we expect, wrote? >> -- can we expect down the road? >> it will be challenged in court. scalia, his efforts on behalf of the chamber of commerce. he is 5-1 last check. this is a rule you know will be challenged. but only want to get implemented. i can't stress how important it is. once the roll is on the books what matters to wall street is how aggressively these five regulators actually implement it and if they dial it back because of some of the concerns bill -- and there out are regulators who don't like what will that much -- maybe we will not signify a lot expect here -- expect. >> something what really matters is the pay and compensation structure. paul volcker said his goal was to change the culture of wall street. in the volcker rule this time around it does tie compensation to risky trading. that doesn't go far enough? compensation and incentives
7:09 am
are completely different from what you are allowed to do every day. this volcker rule, the dodd- frank law, none of that changes the way people on wall street are compensated and what they are rewarded to do. which is to take big risks with other people's -- >> it incentivizes risky trading, that was the goal. >> fine. once again, scarlet, the problem over the years with a wall street has not been proprietary ording or private equity investing in other people's hedge funds. the problem has been creating products that they think will make the world a better and then selling the heck out of them until problems occur. carney from a bank if we get the bad outcome you think we get, is it nothing more than a trading and derivatives migration of jobs over to london or over to zürich and for that matter, over to tokyo? >> they're very well could be some of that. that has been a long-standing argument that if we put in

commissioner of counterterrorism at the new york police department. is this where terrorists are going to breed? >> there is no evidence at all in the public domain. this is done, to the extent we know, on a theoretical basis that it could be happening but none of the reports of that lead to show any specific evidence and in all of my experience i have not seen any, either. >> what does it look like? " fromooking at "homeland the comfort of my own home -- home? governmentbe where a agency create an avatar and interact with other people to find things out. that goes on. there is no question. the second is the communication system inherent in the multiplayer game. multiplayer games are also proprietary communications systems that are not subject to normal forms of wiretapping or electronic surveillance, so it is possible for two people to
7:14 am
communicate via multiplayer game across international borders or domestic borders and thus evade ordinary forms of electronic surveillance. >> this kind of sounds like it is on a hunch. has surveillance becomes so affordable and cheap that you can infiltrate first and ask the hard questions and whether it is valuable after the fact? >> i not think so. this is something of a luxury for the intelligence community to pursue this based on hunches. remember, in those days -- and the reports that were released 2008 am a there was a lot of money going into intelligence. we are still in the post-9/11 fiscal expansion. the intelligence community have the discretion to pursue things based on theories. from have seen backlash tech companies like apple and google protesting massive government surveillance. will we start seeing it in the gaming community? >> it is a much smaller community, less active, they have less to lose. they will probably be annoyed but also probably be amused.
7:15 am
think it is sort of a badge of honor that the intelligence communities are actually trying to get into that. i don't see a big act lash out of that particularly community. the ground, however, is shifting on the terms of engagement for surveillance of internet-based communication. >> that will be our new show name, terms of engagement for surveillance. richard falkenrath joining us. will the bitcoin bubble burst? we will take a look. ♪

castro. it really goes full circle of the drama of nelson mandela's 19 50s and 60s -- knowledge, the first time a u.s. president has connected to a cuban president since i think eisenhower. i may be wrong. to your point -- one of the reasons of the united states supported the apartheid government which had imprisoned nelson mandela was because i'm a soviet sponsored cuban -- because of a soviet sponsored cuban invasion of angola, and because of that invasion, you've been troops in angola, that we justified continued diplomatic and economic ties adam official level with apartheid south africa. cuba and the challenge we have moving forward, i believe the clock is ticking, as we saw with nelson mandela, 95 years old, jimmy carter, 89 years old. arecash throws -- castros

garden. >> will not see it this year. >> let's not go there. as you look at the new stadiums being built, much on the public time, who is demanding the creation of these new arenas? team owner. obviously in certain markets the only way to get a new facility is to get a mixture of the team owner, public and private. we had facilities built in new york in the past five years where there was no public money involved -- >> that it does cause the public. >> it does. certainly in atlanta. atlanta is putting up about half the money on a public basis. the public is going to have to repay the debt, the principal, there will be incremental taxes, incremental taxes on my jean, rental cars. the question is whether the public will eventually repay the money. >> what is the new now? ?> as far as facilities >> or the pushback.
7:22 am
>> acting strong pushback. -- i think strong pushback. dan francisco has a new facility, the public is involved and it seems to be working well there. a lot depends on whether you can get mixed use development around the facility. alternately bringing new money into the county or municipality. that alone will depend on whether or not it was successful. >> i believe there is a football game in january and february in three feet of snow in new jersey? >> i'm not to mention the ice hockey game in new jersey as well. the facility -- paid for by taxpayers >> the owners were on the hook. but they sold licensing to the public. in some ways the public is paying for the stadium because they have to buy the right to buy the tickets. >> we talked about how fenway park is 100 years old. the vikings are getting a new stadium. the marlins are getting a new
7:23 am
stadium. the colts are getting a new stadium. why do these new stadiums have a short life span? >> incremental revenue streams. you are also -- always looking for more money to come into the building, and to do that you need better food and beverage, you need and facilities, you need me to elegy. you have to make the fan come again, want to be able to come in and not sit on their couch on a sunday afternoon. it really is incremental kind of opportunities to bring in more money. >> while we have with your fabulous perspective thomas scarlet mentioned you work with lundquist for a while -- >> the new york rangers. >> he was 11 years old, i think. [laughter] perspective on sports, do you see the gravy train continuing? the profits, or do you have a doubt that will continue? >> i think it will always continue and that is because of

the proprietary aspect with sports and the dollars associated. the demand will be there pretty stronger in some markets than others. new york is obviously bigger. l.a., look at the last year or so. i do see it continue as long as television is involved. >> does espn still remain dominant? >> it does. i think it is being encroached upon a little bit by fox and nbc and cbs. of everyso far ahead body, i think they will continue to be -- >> i have a real important question. i have gone to fenway park several times. i would never admit it to tom publicly, but i have. there not a women's bathroom -- why aren't there enough women's bathrooms? >> 100 years old -- >> even in the new stadiums. there is always a line. at now?here an app for th >> i think it is poor research. more and more women are coming to sports facilities. an important dynamic.
