to pin yeah there where you think he was making a bet on crony capitalism and he was betting that hank paulson at the treasury would be able to bail out of body thing called in fact for example. well the five billion dollars money i remember when he made that investment my reaction to it was ok we're all we're in a kind of freefall already people know that but he knows that people follow what he does and he knew that the press that would follow would be warren buffett thinks these stocks are cheap enough i'm just going to buy them at the time you remember berkshire hathaway was was not only long or owning tons and tons of financial stocks that were in freefall but he also was short put options on the emerging market indices meaning that as these markets fell he was losing lots and lots of money on a mark to market basis and he was berkshire i think was in. not control spot so the whole idea behind tossing money into goldman sachs was was basically a signal that you know he thinks it's ok but also that he knew he knew that. hank paulson would have his back and other members of congress

hank paulson would have his back and other members of congress who also happened on berkshire hathaway you know junk shock would also have his back and so you're saying that for example when we saw all of this aig get poured into these banks they berkshire hathaway had a stake in can get to know a lot of federal aid verses in target and federal law from the fed federal reserve kind of loan facilities all these different things we can bring out for example how crony capitalism back to wells fargo with all that money going and you're saying hey that's not a coincidence that's where we are today and capitalism. that's exactly correct that warren buffett had a direct role in in shaping policy both in conversations with the house leadership in zero eight and with hank paulson directly and with and later with president obama and timothy geithner he has had a direct role in shaping policies that funneled billions of dollars to his companies. you know what i have done the same thing in his position probably i don't know i mean and this isn't about who's more moral who's less moral who's more h
