the banking rules and the general marketplace from ronald reagan on through clinton through george bush jrhere. she's sick. but cnbc is like a costar in this movie. >> yeah. >> it's just -- there's a constant flickering on there. >> maria and her team, melissa lee and joe -- jim, jim cramer, about ten of them around. they're great. we mixed it up. we have reuters and a.p. and some lumberg. >> oliver, was there a moment when you were watching this economy and our society and you say i have to make a sequel now? or did you always have in your mind that you were going to come back to this? >> no, we tried to write a script in 2006 but i wasn't really interested in pursuing it because it was about wealthy people and there was no tension. they were just getting richer and richer. the economy was losing its perspective. after 2008 it began to have a karma, a sense of crime and punishment, definition. i think it's important. it was a big moment. 2008 is still a warning signal. it's sleeping under the surface. some people have called it we're still on medication. we still have a heart attack, stil

jr. and moses were not looking for greatnessment they were not seeking to lead a political movement. for heavens sack, moses was a shepherd and noticed that bush didn't get consumed and from that notice he received a calling as opposed to having exposed naked ambition, which is a feature often found with some of the revolutions. >> glenn: jesus didn't. >> i mean, jesus was please take this away from me and-- >> and i may add that gandhi, also, although he was the leader of the indian independence movement, it's worth noting he did not take any position after india became independent. he was not the prime minister, he was not the president. he was always letting others take the lead and to make the other person great or a great passion with them and gandhi identified himself with the least and the weakest in india and did not tack any position of any kind after indian became independent. >> glenn: what do you remember? what do you personally remember? do you have any real memories of being with him? >> sure, i was 12 1/2 when he was killed. i was going to school in new delhi where he spent the last several months of his life and when i was with
