steve croft, bob simon, welcome. >> thanks, howie.looking back on mike wallace's career, you ask questions for a living wrush know it's an art in front of a camera. how did he over so many years man to weasle information out of people? >> i think he had -- he had tremendous powers of concentration, and i think that he from the moment he sat down, he always was very well prepared, always had read the research, and had a good sense of what he wanted to get out of the interview, which was mainly getting under their skin. >> i think he was very intuitive. i think before he sat down with somebody, he somehow knew where their achilles heal was and went for it immediately. one thing he did different from most others is i think usually in an interview, which you know is going to be a tough interview, we build up to it. you start soft and then get hard later on, but my first question was always designed to throw the person off balance, and forgive me, are you a lunatic? and he was above all master showman. i mean, people often talked about mik

in this edition, scott pelley reports on hard times in a small midwestern town, and later, bob simon's story on a yonkers, new york, bakery that became a role model for social activism and small business success. we begin with the plight of wilmington, ohio. when president spoke of "the winter of our hardship" in his inaugural address of 2009, no one understood it better than the people in wilmington. they were in the grip of a brutal series of layoffs at dhl, the air shipping company, at a time when claims for unemployment benefits in the u.s. were the highest in nearly 30 years. in december 2008, just before all the speeches and parties of inauguration day, scott pelley headed to ohio to find out what questions the families in wilmington were asking. >> are we going to lose our home? you know, are we going to be able to pay our property taxes? what are we're gonna do for insurance? what are we're gonna do for food? you know, and these are questions that you'd never think that you'd ask yourself, you know. and now they're discussions in the home. >> bear hug, big. >> [grunting] i love

but the legacy that "60 minutes" has created i heard you talking earlier, i was just riveted to bob simon'sywhere congo last night on that orchestra. the story telling on that program after all of these decades is just amazing. >> it is. and mike helped set the pace for it. it was not just all about interviews with him. he also did other stories but he had a keen sense of a narrative. i think that too grew a little bit out of his early theatrical training but it was his i think sting and don hooewitt's instin. they would have screaming matches what was the best choice for a sound bite. speaking of the family who can't -- you can't leave out his step daughter pauline who lived very near him in new canaan and kept close track what was going on with mike in the last few years. chris said in the last two days that mike did recognize him and didn't remember much of his work at "60 minutes." i know it was heartbreaking for the members of the 60 minutes team. a couple went up there and it was not clear that he knew who they were. mike had the unairing instinct about getting somebody involved in th

bob. >> hello, simon. you're right. it was definitely about europe. we saw this today because the minute that europe ended at 11:30 or europe closed at 11:30 and here we are on the s&p on an intraday basis, you can see we start immediately coming off our lows. it's still a down day, but not nearly as bad as it was about an hour and a half ago. as far as whether this whole decoupling issue is real or not, it's not been a good week for us or for europe. but i want to point out that not every stock market is moving in tandem. for example, we're down about 1.5% for the week on the s&p 500, but european stocks, well, germany almost down 3%. italy down 5%. and look at china. china was up 2.3%. and australia, a big commodity producer, was flat. so the world is not moving exactly in tandem whether or not decoupling is real or not. elsewhere it's just been an ugly day again for some of the big commodity companies, big energy companies. coal stocks, can this get any worse for coal companies? i mean look at this. they keep dropping. whether you're talking about

. >> simon, bob took your whole dissertation on europe. would you like to add to that? but to understand where we have come from and the technical damage that has been done, if there was -- for the euro zone, it's the dow jones stock 50. it's the blue chips within the euro zone. and if you look at how they have performed with today's gain over the last month, they are down, there you go, over 9% whereas the dow industrials is down just the best part of 1%. so you're below the 200 day moving average, the 100 day moving average. if you look be, for example, at what has happened in spain, given the gains that we've had today, the spanish market is down 14% so far this year and it's only about -- it's only about 8% off its 2009 closing high. so we have broken down very, very badly in europe. i think the assessment that you got from bob is quite correct. this was a very short-term auction in spain today. the big test comes on thursday. the other big test, guys, which is really interesting, we spend a lot of time mapping what is happening at the beginning of this year and the

in the "closing bell" exchange, bob pisani, steve liesman -- >> look at simon's face. >> and we're going to start with simon. a took a frenchman at the ecb to begin this rally when he suggested the obvious, the ecb could buy bonds. >> was it obvious? the last time marrow was up at the ecb news conference, he was suggesting that the recent fallout that we had on spanish yields had more to do with what the politicians were doing and benoit said the politicians were doing the right thing and the market wasn't really understanding that. in other words, there was a market inefficiency. the sort of inefficiency for which the ecb may have to blow through and buy spanish bonds again. that was enough for people to feel -- look, we don't have to wait. spanish growth or spanish austerity, there is in addition to whatever firewall we could put up there, there is always the prospect that the ecb could buy bonds. they were up there yesterday and, guys, as you know, they came back down and quite a solid rally on the european banks today although to a certain extent they did sell into that. >> and that

bob, let's kick off with you. >> thank you, simon, good to see you as always. 5-to-1 declining advancing stocks. that hasn't changed, but what has changed is major indices. we're still on the downside. we were at our lows just around the open that you can see right there. and a little little before 11:00 what would have been the european close. since about noon we've really come off our lows rather noticeably here. i think one factor that may have been -- might have played a part here is the dollar. we had an interesting drop in the dollar around noon. that tends to help commodity based stocks. that's what i'm talking about. this is an intraday chart. didn't hear much from the currency desk about what was happening there. remember something, europe's been closed since wednesday, thursday and friday and today off, they really know how to do easter, don't they? bottom line is i think we need direction from them. here's banks weak all day. obviously prospects for lower rates or more qe-3 is not good for bank profit. so it doesn't shock me that we're seeing some of the big banks particularly

bob pisani is here at the new york stock exchange and simon hobbs. i'll break earnings season down in two parts. preapple, post apple. since apple reported up 2%, it's taken a while for the market to pay attention are we going to get an earnings rally now? >> i would say in the last two days it's very clear that since mr. bernanke spoke, the market has been moving up. gold rallied on the news immediately at 8:30. the stock market dropped and rallied back. it's strange, scott. next week, watch what happens. nonfarm payrolls is going to be out. we get 170,000 on expectations, or 165. if we get a great number, 250,000 on nonfarm payrolls. little reaction in the stock market. wouldn't that be disappointing? >> yes. >> my question is, why do we get a great number? where are you getting this job creation? >> i'm not going to discuss that. let's say we get a great number we should be up. right? >> it should be flat. >> people think that qe 3 moves further. that's what i'm saying. these prospects are distorting the stock market. i agree it's unlikely. >> hop

we have bob pisani on the floor of the new york stock exchange. simon hobbs, can't wait. >> i'd love to hear what simon has to say because everyone i've talked to is talking about the spanish and the ministry banks out there. we need some help from you guys. do you remember that valentine? >> you say that jokingly but -- >> i'm not saying it jokingly. >> but they did it in greece and the greek banks sucked it every day and became victims of their sovereign. it's not funny. >> the point is, it's happening. >> yeah, i'm sure it is. >> and the valentine that i'm referring so the the 1% euros that they are giving out. simon, what's your thoughts? >> both sides are in this together now, isn't it? look how badly the spanish stock market is doing. we're 4% above the crisis lows. the danger is that with spain the economy is crumbling so badly. the loans are rising, debts are rising so badly at 20% unemployment. the government is going to have to presumably come in and help them. will there be external funds? that's the conversation that is going on. they are al

simon hobbs says it's simple profit taking. who has it right? let's make their case in the flesh. bob with the new york stock exchange. bob, the focus is a lot is on the european crisis and our own slowdown but it's not just here as well, right? >> there's a little bit of concern over in asia. remember, there's a debate over whether it's a hard or soft landing in china. australia actually had negative numbers, trade deficit. that hasn't happened very much. there's a little bit of a concern about that. here's the story. a lot of the problem was in cold exports and they said, uh-huh, china is the major importer and therefore this is about china slowing down. it looks like there was flooding in queensland and south wales. at any rate, the asian markets moved to the downside on this and of course some of it was a hang over from here in the united states. i'm not willing to throw in the hard landing in china. i'm still in the soft landing camp and i think the data will show that. >> simon, the european debt issue is still the gift that keeps on giving. you want to talk about profit taking here in the u.s. as well. but ther

bob pisani down at the nyse. >> sue, as you all know over there, it's all about europe. as europe was moving down and simon noted earlier we closed right near the lows on europe, our markets continue to move down. in fact, strangely, we continue to move down even after europe closed here. we've now bounced off of that. it's all about europe, by and large. we see some of the risk off factors today. the energy stocks. some of the technology stocks are a little bit on the weaker side. put up some of the major sectors and you can see there what i'm talking about. energies, financials, materials and industrials all to the downside. european banks to the downside. this has been going on for several weeks. italian banks, spanish banks, fre french banks, all of them moving to the downside. 4, 5, 6. big declines. italy, spain. even dutch banks. sue and simon, tomorrow we're going to be getting the ecb meeting tomorrow here. a lot of people, the big issue is going to be wlrnt the ecb is going to revive its growth estimates to the downside. they have modest growth. a lot of people have asked me, is the u.s. going to

simon property andalman centers, who would have thought commercial shopping malls, high quality ones would be back? they had great numbers here. take a look at them. rents are going up. not down. >> bobter. amazon one of the biggest winners on the nasdaq. and all script one of the biggest losers. seema mody is tracking both sides of that story for us. >> hi. you know we've seen so much strength in technology, apple on wednesday and amazon on fire today. we know the story there. media revenue's up 19%. a strong quarterly report. now, within technology though we're seeing some weakness from our hard disk drive makers. western digital a dominant player in the space reported better than expected earnings last night. pointed to weaker pricing from the levels in march. the company said expenses would rise sequentially and dent its profitability. seagate moving in sympathy to that news. also to the downside all scripts lowered its guidance, ousted its chairman and three board resignations. sue, back to you. >> thank you very much, seema. let's find out how the bond market's taking a weak read on the economy and how they're positioning for the weekend. rick santelli's at the cme. >> hi, sue.

bob pisani has joined us here looking resplendent in gray. it's been tough. tough sledding. >> i'll make it very simple on the french election. simonng what was going on. it doesn't matter who the next president is, austerity has lost. the french have rejected austerity. the size of the victories, and put up the numbers here, it's important for everybody, try to get a tight shot of this. what everybody is so shocked about is these two numbers here, one-third of the french electorate has voted for far left or for right parties. this has never happened before. both of these ends of the political spectrum reject austerity. as does mr. hollande the likely french president at this point at 28%. there's nobody except mr. sarkozy and a few small parties in favor of this so-called austerity. so that's the problem the market's going to have. mr. hollande is only going to engage with the markets in so far he's going to be pushed into doing more austerity. and that's what the markets don't like today. at least over in europe. they want pro-active, they don't want to be pushed and shoved by the markets going down, and more debt criseses happen
