they were there from the very beginning with kirsty duncan. from the very beginning, when she started pulling her team together and saying, 'let's discuss this possibility, going to norway,' she had the cameras rolling. but when it didn't work so well, they--the documentary became a documentary about the race with taubenberger and his group with--and hultin vs. kirsty duncan with an international team of experts and millions of dollars and the whole world was watching. and... c-span: did you reach any conclusions about the way money was generated through this? >> guest: well, it was very interesting to me that the most exciting work on the flu was being done by the outsiders, hultin and taubenberger, who were doing it in a very quiet, low-key way. and it was really interesting to me that you didn't need these elab--this elaborate and expensive apparatus to go dig into a grave site and ask whether you could get some frozen tissue. c-span: i've gotta ask you one other little personal thing, because you bring up john oxford in here and his marria

i tell you this, i like duncan niederauer a lot.ery good ceo but clearly we need to know why they did not, there was a safety issue here. i'm not saying let's open up a trading floor on the, on the in the hudson river off battery park. ashley: right. >> i'm telling you when you, 10 days ago, joe bastardi who has been on the air all day predicted this would be really bad and others came after that. they knew this thing was coming at them, a missile coming at them. i left dallas. i went to see the cowboys and giants. for me to leave dallas, i'm a die-hard cowboy fan is pretty bad. ashley: you're a cowboy fan. >> i'm a die-hard cowboy fan. in new york. they almost won by the way. ashley: they did. >> so the stock exchange all these buys knew what was going to come down. they knew it was franken storm, the whole thing. nicole: right. >> they lived through 9/11. i was at "wall street journal" and covered 9/11 here. i remember the talk about contingency plans the fact that we don't really have one --. ashley: pretty remarkable, isn't it?

a little con sending there, duncan niederauer.harlie. >> would he, the operative question, do you have a plan and he would have said no, to prevent this in the future. the question is not to put-- >> who called that shot? >> well, it's hard to say. the brokers said based on what we have right now we should not be putting our people in harm's way. we don't believe that archipelago-- >> who is thes boss and said we're the not going to trade. >> duncan. >> the question, they didn't have to put them in harm's way if they had a plan and what people have to ask duncan niederauer, what's the plan going forward so we're not shut down for two days during a storm. that's the question that needs to be aendz. neil: and duncan talking about staying in connect with other exchange and sandra smith at cme with terry duffy, chairman of the cme group. >> hey, neil, let's get right to terry duffy and thank you for joining us on a crazy morning. your thoughts so far on the open this morning as you stand in respondent of the s&p 500 futures pit closed

i love duncan. i think they have a great brand, very good product. this is an issue. much. been breaking this from every angle. millions without power including nymex trader mike mcpartland, but we know he's been keeping up with crude oil, rbob gasoline, watching the news. he's joining us on the phone from edge water new jersey. i understand you started helping people on the coast of the hudson river. >> yeah, liz, that was the wildest storm i have ever seen. i think anybody who has lived here their whole lives have never seen. i mean, devastation -- i mean i walked up to rusty's here, i can see breezy point, down atlantic city, down jersey shore, they were devastated. it was a devastating storm. charlie was talking about the market being closed. i know the electronic markets work, but i think you need people to run them. so, i mean, being closed i think was okay for a day. two days, maybe a contingency plan should be looked at going forward. as far as crude oil today what i saw here, it really didn't do much and rbob gasoline, the same. so i mean -- liz: that's what

duncan was when he brought the child there for a late night meal.rified eight year old was recognized by a waitress and the police were call and the monstrous crime wave was over. shasta's testimony helped tod convict duncan who is serving three life sentences and awaiting other trials for crimes against children. >> you are incredibly brave for an eight year old to remember all . details enough so to put this guy behind bars forever. >> i liked putting him behind the bars for good . that helps me know that i changed someone's life for the better. >> he's gone to jail for being a predator yet he was out in the street. what are your thoughts? >> that makes me angry. i don't think that anybody that has that kind much - of background should be let out of the prison. >> it impacts you forever, doesn't it? >> yes definitely. people tell me to learn how to forgive and never forget. he can't ruin my life anymore than he has or take it or tear it down anymore. >> you must be proud of your daughter. she is incredible. >> i am extremely proud of her. >> so go

if i'm duncan, and i know major order providers, listen, and i like duncan a lot, and i know the majorviders are not tested with the system, i would make a stink of it; right? wouldn't you? just in case, you know. >> test it, guys, make sure it goes. >> yeah, and by the way, this is not what he said publicly. >> let me say who was working. we have the ceo coming up in a few minutes, had no problem. now, citi group, of course, problems with the building below 34th street, morgan stanley and sachs flooding. >> i don't buy this. they didn't have to be in pardos way, but outside the city. by the way, there's offices in dallas. >> in a bigger picture -- >> dallas. >> this just destroy the image that wall street is where it's at? not only the problems with the weather. >> you're right. there's an issue here with wall street and the stock exchanges that they saw this coming ten days ago. joe was pounding the table about this storm being the mother of all storms. i came back from dallas because i knew wednesday there was going to be a problem, and you know what? you know, i prepared. why didn'

charlie: duncan confirmed the sec was delivering with them.kerage complained to the sec. we note duncan did in 180. nicole: you know what is interesting, they could have opened. they could have done that. they could have done really well. nobody is complaining terribly that it did not open. most of the traders are proud of the nyse for making this decision. even mr. grasso came out today and said it was the right decision. nobody said, you know what, they should have opened electronically. charlie: you are talking about the members of the club. i am saying, the average investor, i think they see technology and they want to know, well, if you can trade in a high-frequency manner, why can't i place a trade when it is raining out. ashley: exactly. charlie: i think duncan instincts are right. we have the technology. if this is going to be an electronic market, obviously, he likes it better to have the hybrid model that they have, why can't this thing happen. i think more about this story will come out. obviously, you know, if the brokerage put pre

now the decision to move forward, i know duncan has said they're going to be open tomorrow. we'll be fully open tomorrow. that's what's important now. >> how much could have done electronically? i know that metals went electronic. it's interesting to me to see that, yeah, we have this largely electronic trading network, even though we have the floors in place, but even, you know, with an event as severe as sandy, you didn't go forward with just electronics. >> well, we were, as you know, fully electronic on all our products on the overnight session. we were up in trading today on our nonequity products. our interest rate products were closed last night also. it is important to note that we have the capability as does everybody else to be fully electronic. having people to get access to the computers to trade electronic, marimaria, is just important. whether you're living in upstate new york or central manhattan and don't have access to a computer to participate, i think that was more the issue. no one wanted to jeopardize people's safety. >> you think we'll still see volume

if you listen to duncan he is saying it is the firm's fault.dn't have -- they didn't want to come into the city. he said at one point they don't have the technology, it is their fault. they are telling me a slightly different version, actually 180 from that. they point out they thought there was a lot of confusion about the decision to close. they said all of a sudden on a monday we get this thing, we are open. closing the 4 but definitely open. a very clearly communicated message and it sent the street into a panic mode because they really had concerns not necessarily about sending their people which they did but we also point out these firms have remote locations. they were worried about the technology, whether it could handle the volume. they were concerned about a facebook situation. that is what prompted them to say don't do this. they were worried about the storm although the storm hit later monday night after the markets closed but archipelago and whether archipelago really was ready to handle what went down. we should also point out tha

charlie: duncan, thank you for your time. do we have a question here? dagen: no. i was just motioning to connell. connell: we got a lot of information out of that. charlie: he mentioned the sec. he is a diplomat, very smart guy. i think the regulators put the hammer to have. that is my take away. he will disagree with that. i love duncan. listen to what he said. they were involved every step of the way. dagen: mayor bloomberg will be speaking at the bottom of the hour. also two tunnels into manhattan, both the holland tunnel and brooklyn battery tunnel will be closed at 2:00 p.m. mass transit already shut down. the city is basically cutting itself off from the rest of the world. connell: in many of the ways, it is. you are right about that. you may have seen the pictures on the screen while charlie was talking with duncan nader howard . dagen: he is getting filtered by wind, sand and rain. he is at point pleasant beach down in new jersey. described the beach and how it has changed in the last hour or so. jeff: i think it is informative of what duncan is talking ab

nbc's duncan golistani is in london for us with the latest. duncan, what are you seeing?hey, richard. well, malala is in the hospital and still very much in everyone's thoughts. today there was a candlelight vigil for the 14-year-old in birmingham in central england where she is being treated. doctors there say she is not out of the woods, but she is doing well and has been able to stand for the first time. they say malala has been writing messages because she's unable to speak after undergoing a tracheotomy so she could breathe through a tube in her neck. the operation had to be performed because her airways had been swollen by the bullet that hit her. the schoolgirl was shot as she left school in pakistan's swat valley. the taliban says they attacked her because she spoke out against the group and praised president obama. malala was shot at point-blank range, with the bullet hitting her left brow, but thankfully it didn't penetrate her skull. richard? >> what about her parents? you know, being able to communicate with her, obviously, that has been tough, because it hasn

they have not been hiding. >> i have known duncan for many years. we didn't do it the way we should have. duncan is a good man. >> we have to address the shot of this board. normally that board is filled with data. s&p 500, composite, vix, et cetera. it may have something to do with the fact that we're operating on generator power. certain data feeds dow jones industrial average has not opened but it has in fact opened. there are no issues here so far at the open. it's trading normally. the quote at the bottom of your screen on cnbc is correct. some screens, such as ones we're using, show zero. there are no issues when it comes to opening the dow. that's where we are right now. >> the one time you put me on the spot, i have no idea. >> fade into darkness. where are you? there's never been a pop song that you have not had a beat on. >> you got me. let's talk -- some people are going to try to gauge the effect. it's hard to get clarity on the effect since a lot of companies that are in retail are quiet still. >> here's an odd one. kohl's going up. oth

what has the president, would have secretary duncan zero doubt because it's ineffective or not a good use of funds? >> the president and the administration have proposed 30-40 programs for elimination because of a lack of evidence on impact. and some of those have been successful, some of those haven't. this is an example worsens when the full-time members, i should note some of those are but some of those are small programs that were critically or three years ago i kept getting funded because of history. i don't even know the names of all those but those are the kind of programs where they don't have evidence of success that should be eliminated. not a all of those have been eliminate by some have. he has also established the principle that actually funding things based on performance. i think the invest in innovation fund which is a signature initiative is a hallmark ever to say let's debate but let's define that to those things that significant evidence and result -- let's find what works and expand the. >> we are big supporters of investing in innovation fund and a number of thing

duncan's leading them off here to have a little bit of a discussion. lot of people stayed overnight here. larry lebowitz stayed overnight, a lot of the floor traders move around here. and i'll show you some of the people here. a lot of these people were here overnight. one of the designated market makers. and as i mentioned a moment ago, they have raised the threshold to allow for auto execute open. so the way it works now, for most stocks, small stocks, you can auto execute. the designated market maker has to hit a button for a lot of the bigger stocks to physically open the stock. the smaller ones depending on the threshold 50,000 share open, you can auto execute and automatically match off. they've raised the threshold for that. a lot of the big names, the big stocks in the s&p 500, they'll be able to open automatically this morning. like by computer, essentially. what that's going to do is make a smoother open. remember, the goal here, and i hope you got that from duncan, is a nice, smooth, somewhat boring open. about the volume, i've been asked ab

>> the president and arne duncan, secretary, worked very hard.he secretary went to many, many, many meetings. the people on the sectors you would to me meetings at the hill. dissector spoke about, a lot of efforts to try to get that bill, the reauthorization done. the first half of the four years, i do think there was a recognition that with race to the top and it seems getting past in favor of lanai that time was needed. but for the second half there was tremendous effort. congress was not able. there were significant division and conference. there were heroic efforts to try to get those done. there were some republicans were trying to work together on it and i think finally after the significant effort to get past had not succeeded, arne duncan said we need to give states relief from some aspects of no child left behind, and they do think what i heard last that from the culture, not only review but the reversal of the wafers to go back to no child left behind, is really a move backwards in time when many to move forward. >> so, given that most

the robbery happened a little after 11:00 thursday morning at the duncan donuts in duke street. police say the suspect pulled a gun and demanded the cash in the register, then took off in a small blue car going west on duke avenue. >>> two volunteers from the komen three-day for the cure in d.c. were targeted by thieves. the bikes that they ride while cheering on walkers were stolen. ken and christian say someone must have pried bicycles from the roof of their car while it was parked at the holliday inn express thursday night. when christian posted the news on his facebook page, fellow volunteers stepped up to help. they contacted the district hardware and bike shop, which provided the brothers with loaner bikes free of charge. >> it was total surprise. but that's what the family is about. >> the hotel says the crime was caught on surveillance video and they have been sent to police. >>> the controversial posters in some metro stops as of next week, they'll have some competition. the council for american islamic relations is putting up posters to counter the message. says show f

what will secretary duncan zero out in effect of funds? >> the president and the administration have proposed 30 to 40 programs for elimination because of lack of evidence and some have been successful and some haven't. this isn't a gamble where you set of rihanna full time members industry should contain. i should know what they are but some are just small programs that were created 20 or 30 years ago that kept getting funded over and over because of institutional necessary. i don't know the names of those that those other programs when they don't have evidence of success that should be eliminated and the president and secretary and all those have got a eliminated and in the meantime also established the principle of actually funding things based on performance and the investment innovation fund which is a signature president obama initiative really a hallmark effort to save debate ideology but funding that goes to those things to demonstrate significant results and what is known as the eye of refunding is an interesting model and somethi

duncan said he was ready to go, the ceo of new york stock exchange duncan niederauer came on our airokerage community that came back and said we don't think you are ready to go. the real question is, did they not think they were ready because the new york stock exchange wasn't red ki to implement -- ready to implement a fully electronic system or were the brokers not ready to operate in that environment? this is a big question. i will tell you this, liz, you want exchanges to be open now. i don't care what anybody -- a storm should not shut down capitalism. liz: wait even if it's --? >> no. liz: you shut down the floor but keep the electronic trading going. >> in this environment we can trade stocks in milliseconds. a storm, rain should not stop the new york stock exchange from opening its system. it should not stop the nasdaq or any of them. a small investor, maybe some trader can't get to work that works at goldman sachs, that's fine. but the bottom line is, the average investor should be able to trade stocks, buy a stock right now when they want. the system should not be shut down
