"the national parks: america's best idea." i know there is going to be some conversation kicking up just around that subtitle. america's best idea, mr. burns? >> we kick it up in our film the fir

i have been fairly critical of ken lewis. this, in the midst of that insanity of last year, if you think a disclosure might be a little off, if you think that there wasn't pressure put on ken lewis to do the deal because if you didn't do the merrill lynch deal the global financial system would have come to a halt. i really do question whether all this pressure on lewis is nothing more than monday morning quarterbacking. >> i can't even believe this, charlie. i think the rest of the world is laughing their asses off. we have terrorists being arrested because of these cell phones and knapsacks, the possibility of a trade war with china, an economy that is teetering and we are over here thinking about arresting, taking charges, bringing charges on a guy because of this disclosure. let's not forget thatting weekend of september 15th when they said do the deal. and then they tell him. i didn't realize all these losses. things have become adverse changing the mac. then they say, no, don't disclose it. so they encourage him. one gov

ken, i'd like to start with you. i realize that one or two days doesn't a trend make, but could we be bucking the september bearish trend? could it be true, as the bulls have been saying, that all these professional money managers are coming back to work post labor day and they've got $3.5 trillion in cash to play with? >> i think that's the big story right there, that a lot of money still sits on the sidelines. there's never this bell that rings that says it's safe to come back in the water. but as you start to look at m&a activity, that's a good signal that things are start to go thaw out a little bit. the individual investor needs to start looking at that and seeing what types of moves they want to make. i have to say we are starting to get somewhat optimistic that not only is the worst behind us, but that the system actually does work. we went through a long period of correction and now it might be time to come out and play cautiously again. >> and justin, the chief investment strategist is quoted as telling clie

ken, it's great to have you back. i like looking at you, but i love looking at that photo much more. >> much, much better. >> i mention your resume there. so, why the parks, why now? >> i'm always interested in how our country works, you know, who are we. and our parks are the best idea. for the first time in human history, land was set aside not for kings or noblemen, the rich, as land was disposed, but for everyone for all time. it could have only come from a democratic people. i know establishing a country with a democratic people is our best idea, but once that's established, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better idea than the parks. >> talk about the scope of the project. ten years in the making. >> we filmed from the gates of the arctic in northern alaska to the dry tortugas off the florida keys, from hawaii voluntarily canas to acadia, where the first light of day in maine hits this glorious and complicated republic. >> 53 of the nation's 58 national parks, and your biggest budget to date. >> yes, oh, because

sdoo let me ask you about that, ken. the strength and weakness of the dollar appears to be one of the drivers of the stock market recently. what does that tell us about the markets, and why has the market come back so quickly? this is just a typical move, or is something driving the market? >> i hesitate to say typical, but the equity markets do come back after two or three years. maybe they reached a peak. want two or three months, but two or three years. you know, it's not so unusual what's happening. they're looking ahead to the normalization. with we could look at the particulars of the situation. whether growth will be fast enough to justify how much they've come up. >> what about debt? you took a real close look at debt and the role of debt in financial crisis in the past. are we taking on too much debt as a country right now some. >> well, we're certainly, again, driving down the traps of these past crisises where debt nearly doubles within a few years, and i think the scary part of the crisis and part of the afte
