had recently about he must be the poorest guy in the senate when he was there and i remember when chris dodd was in the senate the post published a list of everybody's net worth and his was negative three thousand dollars so now he's running the motion picture association and it's his chance to cash in you know he paid his dues he served the public like your dad and you know now it's time to feather the national it's interesting in a little bit dangerous though and i might say that at least for a contant thing and you hope that they don't you hope everyone you know but you know if you have someone who's a it was a politicized figure sitting on your board you know are you going to greenlight the documentary that may call you know about like obama's drone usage you know you don't want to mess you don't want to upset the board member and i know that there is that fear that when you start getting into that there's been a lot of chatter since roseanne's reboot the other night the ratings went through the roof and if you read social media you'll see a lot of the righties snickering about this holl

dodd-frank. i think you know this, chris, since dodd-frank was passed the big banks are bigger. the small banks are use this as a competitive advantage. i mean, go and look at what people have said at goldman and sacks most recently the head of bank of america said he is very fine with bank of america. again, what this is doing is it's helping capital formation for small businesses, for startups. i think it will help some regional banks and help certainly small community banks and credit unions. i haven't seen anything in the senate bill, again it hasn't come off the floor yet, i haven't seen anything in the senate bill that anybody with a straight face can argue is helping the big banks. i don't consider them friend or foe. i'm trying to help the economy. >> it's not about making them enemies. it's about keeping the rules fair. i'm out of time. let's see how it comes out of committee and argued on the floor and please come back and make the case to the american people. >> i would be happy to come back. >> good luck with your daughter. that i can't help you with. >> thank you. >

chris dodd in an op-ed today said the bill chips away at effective oversight. people are saying this isn't a major scaleback of dodd-frank, but senator dodd and congressman frank say vote no because they recognize it's damaging to the work that we all did. experts like paul volcker, head of the federal reserve, sheila bair, head of fdic, republican appointment by president bush, used to be chief of staff for senator bob dole. dan turillo, read of regulation for the federal reserve wants us to vote no. sarah bloom raskin at the federal reserve and secretary of treasury. tom honig, a republican who said fdic, earlier was a fed president. antonio weiss at the treasury department. paul tucker, international regulator. phil angelides, former california state treasurer who ran the commission that examined what happened in the bank crisis, all wrote to the senate, all outlined a combined 28 pages worth of concerns about this bill, and my colleagues just say oh, this is just helping the small community banks and some of the regional banks a little bit. well, not exactly

in fact, the authors of the original dodd-frank -- i'm going to give a quote from them from chris dodd and barney frank, both smart guys that i admire. they wrote this. as the authors of the drorng re -- dodd-frank law, we want everyone to know that senator tester helped to write this as some people claim. they went on to say that john knows montana and the challenges facing rural america. while we did not agree with every part of this bill, it helps credit unions and community banks across montana while keeping protections in place designed to keep us from another financial crisis. that's why it is called dodd-frank from chris dodd and representative barney frank. the other thing it does not do is it does not leave banks unregulated. there's implication by some that this deregulates 25 of the 40 largest banks. that implication, to me, is that now they are no longer regulated. the fact is all of the banks hire regulators for safety, soundness, and, quite frankly, this does not leave banks unregulated. they still have plenty of regulation to go through. in conclusion, i would just say t
