i got a giant number of calls telling me to stop bashing enron. why? because the callers had a ton of stock in the company. i came back and explained perhaps they needed to diversify away from enron. each time i did i heard how they got discounts or such a great company was too terrific to sell. or the fact is that it was down so much they couldn't sell. one day it was gone. but many people made this argument before and the company stock is the number one investment. why? you feel like you understand the company you work for and the excuses that you are investing in what you know. i'm telling that doesn't cut it. you've got to cut back. just cut it back tomorrow. here's the bottom line. diversecation comes before everything else when you invest. whether your discretionary or investing for retirement in your 401(k). never put more than one fifth in the stock of the company you work for. like i advice not more of one fifth in one sector. doubling down is okay for no more than that. that's what you're doing. you're doubling down. always carries risk. stic

laura: chilcot says the dangers of invading iraq were there, including that enron would become key inegion. also the intelligence warnings showed al qaeda and iraq could explode. stephen: there were mornings. there were warnings that al qaeda could try to exploit it. what we did not anticipate was that al qaeda would decide, particularly in the form of the leader of al qaeda in iraq, that they would make their stand against the united states, u.k., in iraq. we did not see the brutal and effective strategy that he adopted of killing shia civilians to try to provoke retaliation against innocent sunnis to plunge the country into civil war so that al qaeda could start the caliphate. that was a ghoulish strategy, and it almost worked. laura: hindsight is a wonderful thing, but chilcot is clear that the planning of what would happen to iraq post-saddam was inadequate. in the: i was involved planning. some people say there was no planning, that's not true. there was a fair amount of planning. there were some things we didn't plan for, or didn't come out the way we thought. laura: the former

she asked the question of enron which nobody else was willing to ask is how exactly does enron make its money. >> rose: yes, exactly. where are we now in terms of cyber warfare in terms of where we're not just in terms of discovering what others can do and looking at what we did with the israels in terms of the iranians. where is the conflict and who is smart at it. who is best at it? what should we be fearing most. how do we protect against it, all those questions. >> i think the united states is probably still the best. when i did a foreign policy interview with donald trump he said that he thought the u.s. was very weak at it. but you look at some of his hotels, they've all been hit at various points and some of them probably by nation states we don't know entirely who but perhaps just by criminals. russia and china are very good. china used to attack us broadly and steal all the intellectual property they possibly could. president obama reached an agreement with president xi last september and we've seen some fall off in the volume of chinese activity buzz they've gotten much more s

she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron-style purge of her e-mails. 33,000 e-mails are missing? and they say oh, she's fine. she's fine. so, like a criminal with a guilty conscience, clinton had her lawyers delete, destroy, and wipe away forever, except i still say there are geniuses that can find them, 30,000 -- think of this, 30,000 e-mails. she said today that we may consider the attorney general to go forward. that's like a bribe, isn't it? isn't that sort of a bribe? i think it's a bribe. i mean that if she wince she's going to consider extending the attorney general. and you know, i'm not saying -- i'm not knocking the attorney general. what i'm saying is, how can you say that? it's a bribe! >> today, hillary clinton heads to atlantic city, new jersey, where she is set to speak in the shadow of the now shuttered trump plaza casino and what's expected to be another takedown of her rival's economic plans and business practices, including allegations that he stiffed contractors. yesterday, clinton campaigned for the first time with president obama. and she made the m

value families by kicking kids out of after-school programs and taking cops off the streets, so that enron get another tax break. [cheers and applause] mr. kerry: we believe in the family value of caring for our children and protecting the neighborhoods where they walk and play. and that is the choice in this election. you don't value families by denying real prescription drug coverage to seniors so big drug companies can get another windfall. -- windfall of profit. we believe in the family value expressed in one of the oldest commandments, "honor thy father and thy mother." as president, i will not privatize social security. i will not cut benefits. [cheers and applause] mr. kerry: and together, we will make sure that senior citizens never have to cut their pills in half because they can't afford lifesaving medicine. and that is the choice in this election. [cheers and applause] you don't -- you don't value families if you force them to take up a collection to buy body armor for a son or daughter in the service, if you deny veterans health care, or if you tell middle-class families to wai

they closed down a whole company for the actions that one office took in aiding and abetting the enron fraud. this is not something regulators do. it probably is akin to a pyramid scheme. the big risk for ackman and all shorts from day one, they would be right and still wrong on the trade and how the trade gets its -- >> the big thing, a short interest, 20%, you immediately go to the other side of the trade. >> everybody did that. >> the most interesting part of the way this story has turned out. herbalife can continue to operate. they have to make significant changes. pay a $200 million fine, at the same point, read the language in this ftc complaint, you look at the statement the ftc put out today and you heard edythe ramirez in her news conference, all that language in total is damning. it is damning to the way that herbalife in many ways did its business. to stephen point and others made as well, the copiy will continue to operate. >> big enough to pay a $200 million fine. the difference between this and some other mlm boiler room operating out of someone's garage. they can be squa

she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron style purge of her e-mails. i think the one with the most to lose is bernie sanders. he just lost today the fbi primary. she's crooked hillary. don't you understand that? we need unity in the republican party. we need real unity. and the leaders have to get supportive. if they tone get supportive, we're going on win anyway, don't worry about it. saddam hussein was a bad guy. you know what he did well? he killed terrorists. did he that so good. they didn't read him the rights. they didn't talk. they were terrorists. it was over. >> so, trump there, we just showed you some decent, or pretty good occasionally, little edited focus on the fbi decision. he also made comment about saddam hussein and a lot of other comments over the course of a 66-minute speech. the saddam thing has gotten as much if not more attention than the stuff about hillary. so mark, is trump seizing this moment, or wasting a valuable, maybe even invaluable opportunity? >> the good lines were good last night. listening to trump and talking on som

back in october he compared the company to enron and in may he said he was long for the trade and justterday he changed his position and called the company an obvious zero. he's executive director of citron research. i want to get right to it. what do you say to mr. ackman? >> i don't even know why this is a discussion. accused me the same thing when the stock what is 170, 150, 100, 50 and now 20. i was called for an interview. someone asked me about valeant. it's not me. look at the trading and the stock. it will tell you. as for these non-core assets that they can sell off, obviously no one has done a good job on wall street because look at the stock. what is it telling you? it is telling you that it is obvious there are major problems and they are not fixable and this goes way beyond me and way beyond bill ackman so obviously he should have conveyed the message to sequoia when they sold all their assets and did they not understand the company and as for me pushing my book and say what i'm trading, with respect to bill ackman, almost wrote the book on that. >> let's be clear. are you

she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron-style purge of her emails. 33,000 emails are missing and they say she's fine. she's fine. 33,000, and i've always been told you can't really get rid of an email. have you ever heard this? that if we have the real super geniuses that know this stuff, they say you can't get rid of emails, but we didn't use them because they didn't want to use them. they didn't want to use them. so like a criminal with a guilty conscience, clinton had her lawyers delete, destroy and wipe away forever except, i still say there are geniuses that can find them. 30,000 -- think of this, 30,000, males. this, again, disqualifies her from service and just think of it. i mean, how can you have this? [ applause ] we know now that these deletions included e-mails that were work-related. one more big, fat, beautiful lie by crooked hillary. any government employee who engaged from this kind of behavior would be barred from handling classified information. again, that alone disqualifies her. >> reporter: one of the more remarkable comments that donald trump did

brennan: we are going through a transition period from the time when enron was sanctioned across the board on and financial institutions and companies adapted to the framework they were prevented from engaging with iran. now, we are positioning to the new environment in terms of what allowed under jcpoa. it is an adjustment that needs to be made and i know officials and others are working with the iranian as well as third parties to make sure what is permissible is understood and how these things can be done. that takes some time. anytime you're going to make a major adjustment like that. do i think the moderates will survive? absolutely. i think the expectations among some in iran wants to be -- the agreement was signed -- they were quite high. and there will be immediate relief as well as immediate dividends as a result of this. there were some. i think there was a lot be -- that the iranian central government had to do in terms of structural and strategic macroeconomic issues. and so, the effect and impact on individual iranians is going to take place over time and we are very muc

hundred savings-and-loan executives prosecuted, convicted, and sent to jail 20 years ago, and some enron executives were. but they have so gamed the system, the corporate lawyers, it's extremely difficult to put them in jail. and by the way, if f ty went to jail, they would improve the prospects for prison reform. [laughter] and the food would be better. [laughter] the governments buy almost everything we buy. you know, it's called government procurement. they buy food, they buy clothing, they buy motor vehicles, they buy energy. they buy construction materials. and they can do specifications where they can stimulate innovation, and we got airbags that way. the auto companies controlled department of transportation under reagan, and we couldn't get airbags. so i went over to the general services administration, and i said to the administrator, who, luckily, happened to be a rigid republican from new hampshire and he was an auto supply dealer. now, listen, if you know anything about auto supply dealers, auto parts dealers, they have no awe of the auto companies in detroit. so i said to hi

know, you talk about hillary and her job, curious, ,.ide from enron, -- iran we have a better relationship with toy clinton as secretary of state -- hillary clinton as secretary of state. >> i'm not going to be able to list a group of countries but i will say that the united states, the stating in the world and pull after poll went up during president obama's tenure and during her tenure as secretary of state. the world likes us more to me seems like it could standard. good's data. -- you what to blame russia on hillary clinton. putin invaded georgia when george w. bush was president, did you blame him? was he injecting weakness into the world? i have world -- news, bad people do bad things in the world regardless of who is secretary of state. it is intriguing that we want to hold her responsible for the awful thing that happened. litigate, lisa right to argument is for the middle east stability for the anyone else. created isis. this question. -- next question. my question, why is it that single young women are among one of the most democratic groups in the country? what are they missing?

she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron-style purge of her e-mail. 33,000 e-mails are missing, and they say she is fine? and i have always been told you cannot really get rid of an e-mail. have you heard this? we have the real super geniuses that know this stuff, and they say we cannot get rid of e-mail. we did not use them, because he did not want to use them. so, like a criminal with a guilty conscience, clinton had her lawyers delete, destroy, and wipe away forever. except, i still say there are geniuses that can find them, 30,000 e-mails. this, again, disqualifies her from service. and just think of it? i mean, how can you have this? [applause] mr. trump: we know now that these deletions included e-mails that were work-related. one more big, fat, beautiful lie by crooked hillary. any government employee who engages in this kind of behavior would be barred from handling classified information. again, that alone disqualifies her. and again, bernie sanders talked about bad, bad judgment. he is not happy tonight, folks. it looks like it is over for bernie. but i have a

he bashed hillary clinton's judgment and accused her of an enron style purge of her e-mail. major garrett is following the trump campaign. >> reporter: good morning. donald trump has said the system is rigged and in his mind the events of the last few days proved it in big, bold letters from former president clinton's tarmac meeting with the attorney general and for hillary clinton mishandling classified information while the entire e-mail saga for trump is anti-clinton cat nip. >> the law is very explicit. stupidity not a reason that you're going to be innocent. >> reporter: donald trump warned hillary clinton that dodging a felony indictment will not end the political debate over national security and her judgment. >> and this is where they said that she was extremely careless and, frankly, i say grossly incompetent. >> reporter: trump also mocked the official version of bill clinton's tarmac meeting with attorney general loretta lynch, where the two reportedly chatted for about 30 minutes about grandchildren and golf. >> isn't she beautiful? i would say that would take an

you can look back to enron and the arthur anderson scandal and the 2000 and government and almost everyector i think people are deeply losing faith in the elites who run the country who run business. they don't think that the is elevating the best and brightest. and this loss of faith in the ystem is reverberating in ways that are surprising. and a lot of anger when you try to map it out say that's not logical to believe this and this and how can you switch from bernie sanders to donald trump. but it's frustration and desire to even shake up the system to protest to say this person is kind of not what i expected. and that's exactly why i'm going to vote for him or her. host: dave, good morning. caller: thanks for take mig call. and that's a good segue into my question. one of them is where's trump going to be with disclosing his tax returns? and with that said, as a voter and looking at those others that have disclosed their tax returns, to me it's a good bit of information for a voter to understand whether or not a candidate is representing themselves. and in actuality or not. so i thi

she went to extraordinary lengths to carry out an enron-style purge of her e-mails. 33,000 e-mails arey say, oh, she's fine. she's fine. so, like a criminal with a guilty conscious. clinton had her lawyers delete, destroy and wipe away forever, except i still say there are geniuses that can find them. 30,000. think of this, 30,000 e-mails. she said today that we may consider the attorney general to go forward. that's like a bribe, isn't it? isn't that sort of a bribe? i think its are a bribe. i mean, that if she wins, she is going to consider extending the attorney general and, you know what, i'm not saying, i'm not knocking the attorney general. what i'm saying is, how can you say that? it's a bribe. >> so mark halperin. he went, of course, 66 minutes and he did praise saddam hussein as a master murderer of terrorists. how do you think the trump campaign has handled the past 24 to 48 hours? >> well, i agree with what nicolle said and what mika said. his best moments focusing on this were effective. but he did talk for 60 other minutes about other things including saddam hussein. you k
