come august 4 you'll be able to read all about it in david wessel's new book "in fed we trust." ben bernanke's war on the great panic. tonight he'll tell us what bernanke was up to this week. >> that's right, gwen. the poor guy went to the hill three times, once in the senate and once before the house. he had a very consistent message. things are getting a little better and i deserve some of the credit. and barney frank told him no one got elected with a bumper sticker saying, you could have been worse. he said, you really do need to change the regulatory -- financial regulatory apparatus so we don't go through this again. and i'm 100% behind tim geithner, the treasury secretary and his plan, except for the things i don't want to do. he said to congress emphatically he hates this bill ron paul is pushing that has the surprising support of 2/3 of the house that would give the government the accountability office the right to audit the feds' monetary policy, their interest rate decisions and basically said if you do that the fed will lose its independence and we'll have inflation.
