council will convene nexts when day to name temporary chairman to replace brown. jim. >> okay. more than a year and what they come up with is something having to do with his personal finances. its there more to this that we should be aware snuff. >> people should know this is a plea agreement, agreed to plea to this. had he not agreed there would be many more charges to charge him with and possibly his wife might be charged. he took the best route to getting this over and done with. rather than facing many more charges and perhaps a long trial. >> how it concerns kwame brown this investigation seems to be wrapped up? >> as far as this. there its the 2008 campaign where they have been looking at expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars the u.s. attorney said we are going to root out public corruption and i think you are seeing the examples of this now. we had it with tommy, harry thomas jr. in january. and now the chairman of the council. and, everyone is saying there is more to come. >> all right. tom sherwood. thank you, tom. >> live look from chopper 4 at new maryland

. >> jim, it's josh brown. one thing we've talked about before on the show, i think, a popular chart that seems to be making the rounds. morgan stanley and euro banks stock in deck, bloomberg index, almost a one for one correlation of the last two years. >> isn't that great? that's why i picked morgan stanley over the others. like i said, i think you underlined my point. whatever the true story is, they might have least amount of exposure to europe. i don't care. if the market anoints them the one, they are the one. >> i took off the bank exposure i had not because i saw this coming at all. i took it off morgan stanley trade, jchl p back on friday. goldman sachs down $12. now down $14 from main numbers. so in other words as that thing reversed and gave you the opportunity to took it off, i took it off. if we go far enough, then i'll dip my toe back in. right now i'd say goldman sachs getting hit the hardest of this group, looks like i'd focus on first. >> you haven't seen enough to give you confidence now is th

. >> john browne, one of jim o'neill's concerns was the u.s.wing down now, when it is slowing down. i mean, you know, europe has been a problem a while. why is the u.s. slowing down now and why isn't the -- our federal reserve doing more about it? do you agree that the fed can take some of the blame for not being more aggressive now? >> well, i think the fed can take a huge deal of -- blame under greenspan for creating the problem. now this is what the bis said yesterday. it is an illusion that central banks are pumping money and can create real economic growth. and -- they can redress these huge debt imbalances. basically they created a crisis of confidence for consumers. worldwide. the dollar is worldwide. europe is heading for depression and america section heading for severe repression and affecting the developing world. find it hard to justify holding equities in such a situation. >> this gets me so angry. we are all talking about the fed, the fed, the fed. yet, we see all of these evidences around the world that things are slowing. why is

what your emotional response to which lauren browne proceeded to answer for fifteen minutes what he did. which he already covered. one of jim baker's lawyers and the staff was sitting behind me, leaned over and said in my ear, a perfect michael due cabbing -- answer. and it was and we sledded bp in that. now for another reason he had to retire early, i think in some respect there refiery safety record improved. obviously the drilling safety record didn't improve. and so they had a second major accident with, you know, with the fatalities. and, you know, i think that, you know, their reputation, of course, effects the entire industry. it's bp that had the problems. i don't know whether they're any better today really in the long run, than they were when we started. but that's, you know, that's a long answer on that one. you know, the 9/11 commission was an inquiry into the past. and i believe on the day at which we started, we all implicity and some expolicely reached the conclusions if we couldn't write the history unanimously, we were wasting our time and the taxpayers' money. from the very beginning, the idea was we've go

but the fact that it's black and brown gives them a legacy of white supremacy in the history of this nation, connects the two, jim crow, connects the two, slavery, connect the two, not getting value to the lives of our precious young people, no matter what color disproportionately black and brown. it is the position we are talking about that brings all of us together, no matter what color you are. it is a matter of morality and integrity and dignity connected to the parents of these precious young folk we are talking about. i know that you'll have questions and inquiries. professor briones is ready for you and me too. >> it's a given that we have to strive for the best but how do you overcome racism when it so intrinsic to the culture? i mean, obviously we can't have jim-crow, but you can't legislate attitudes, so how do you get rid of something that is the culture? i mean, people feel like in america they can't speak english but they know disrespecting me as a black person that makes them feel better, it's the culture, how do you get around that? >> it's a profound question.
