came out in political argument where lloyd blankfein read, a bunch of his colleagues, lloyd blankfein is ceo. melissa: of goldman sachs. there he is. facial hair going. >> are having fund-raisers next week for jeb and hit the ceiling somehow it leaked out because he is a huge hillary supporter. melissa: i feel like those guys spread money around on both sides. >> not the last couple of years. if you noticed what happened at goldman under blankfein, heavily to obama in 2008. heavily to mitt romney in 2012 because of what happened with financial regulation and right now i will tell you this. lloyd blankfein loves hillary clinton. remember, gave her a lot of money. gave speeches to fold man where she made a lot of money with lloyd. he loves her. he is not happy these guys that are basically publicizing that they're holding fund-raisers for jeb. melissa: i don't think democrats on the left love the idea goldman sachs is supporting hillary clinton. >> that is not my business. melissa: i thought everything was charlie business didn't you? i'm amazed to hear him say that. >>> meanwhile hundr

what would you make lloyd blankfein?atali: first of all, i would chop one of the hot dogs -- do i get more than one hot dog? i would chop one of them up and dredge it with flour and salt and pepper and some cayenne and make it nice and crispy and hot. i would take the other one, i would butterfly it open until it was flat, dredge in flour and bread crumbs. i would make a hotdog schnitzel and serve it with a crispy hotdog salsa. >> nice. rachael ray: yes, please. betty liu: i'm up for that. bobby? bobby flay: he is the ceo of mcdonald's, you said? >> he's your competition. bobby flay: yes. i'm not going to try to serve him a hamburger. i think mcdonald's could use a little more vegetables in its life. so, i will use the sweet-and-sour sauce and i will do a roasted cauliflower, agua dulce, sort of sweet and sour with some red chilies and put it in an earthenware dish, and put it in an oven and roast it. and there you go. betty liu: sounds good. tom? tom colicchio: a midwest guy, he probably likes beef. so, let's braise som

she was clearly caught flat-footed and -- >> should talk to her good friend lloyd blankfein ceo of goldmanachs larry fink, ceo of blackrock, both very close with hillary ask them what would happen, if one of your executives and bankers kept private email account where they can basically converse with their sources and their clients on their own server which they could afford servers? you know what happened then? they would be fired from the firm. they would be indicted t would be a real regularly -- regulatory problem. >> she should not gmail that. >> good point. melissa: political firestorm erupting over this letter. the white house furious after 47 republican senators wrote an open letter to iran warning about doing a deal with president obama saying, quote, the next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future congress could modify the terms of the agreement at anytime. iran's foreign minister shaming the move, writing quote, this letter has no legal value and has most hely a propaganda ploy. tony. >> this is the result the president gets when h

perspective, it took him only 12 days to earn goldman sachs ceo lloyd blankfein's pay of $24 million.eing nice cost me thousands. i really do. >> it pays to be nice. it pays to be smart, and it pays to be nice. don't you think? an mba doesn't hurt. >> exactly. >>> getting paid to graduate on time? that will be a reality at howard university starting next year. they're going to pay them to graduate on time, john, at howard. if you graduate in four years, it will pay half the cost of your last semester a savings of about $6,000. it's part of efforts to make howard more affordable to students and graduate with less debt. right now about 46% of howard's students graduate in four years. that to me those numbers scare me that less than half of students graduate in four years. look at the national average. 39%. you wonder why we have a student loan crisis. it's because people are taking out $20,000 to $40,000 a year in student loans, and they're not getting out on time. or in some cases they're dropping out, and then that good debt becomes bad debt. >> four-year college is not four-year coll

lloyd blankfein is one smart cookie.stimates him until they get to know him right -- quite well. he has the concept of what he must do before he retires. he has put goldman sachs back on the right track and that a lot of things to make that happen. tom: at the heart of this in the endless conference calls you have been on is bringing compensation from revenue metrics down from the income statement to some form of profit metrics or profit ratios. are you optimistic we can achieve that? charles: i'm always optimistic. you've got to watch out for the natural bias. but i do believe we can make real progress in that direction. but it's a question of governance and that often relates to the board of trustees that have been chosen to take seriously the role of governor. tom: brendan, here is a quote for good. time will tell whether it will continue to earn the mantle of questionable leadership -- of unquestioned industry leadership. goldman -- brendan: how do you make that happen? charles: i think any competitor is unique to it

olivia: it is a stressful day for lloyd blankfein.he boss of goldman sachs will find out how much money the fed will let him return to shareholders. that is when we will learn the results of round two of the banks stress test. macklemore covers that and joins us on set -- michael moore covers that and joins us on set. as tom keene might put it, what is the sweat factor today? >> there is definitely a sweat factor because they were the closest to minimums in last weeks test. there's a big debate going on right now about what it means if you are -- your internal tests differ from the fed. goldman says we will be fine 12% ratio. the fed said it is more like 6%. a huge gap. the question is, are the banks supposed to end up with numbers that are close to the fed or does the fed just want to see a reasonable process that goes through and even if they disagree, it is ok? that will be the question whether the fed will qualitatively fail people who ended up with different -- tom: they may not lose their job. the distinction today is, this is a

lloyd blankfein. goldman sachs.ayers he was able to turn. >> i am a political expert but i will tell you i have watched democrats and republicans and the person with the best campaign structure is a business. >> you don't think he has a structure? that is what i am saying. is the only one with the. tom: great great news. the mother of a u.s. soldier who was killed when searching for bowe bergdahl. does she think justice will be served? the lightest or nothing. the smartest or nothing. the quietest or nothing. the sleekest... ...sexiest ...baddest ...safest, ...tightest, ...quickest, ...harshest... ...or nothing. at mercedes-benz we do things one way or we don't do them at all. the 2015 c-class. see your authorized mercedes-benz dealer for exceptional offers through mercedes-benz financial services. hey, girl. is it crazy that your soccer trophy is talking to you right now? it kinda is. it's as crazy as you not rolling over your old 401k. cue the horns... just harness the confidence it took you to win me and call td

goldman sachs just barely past the first round of tests last week so will regulators give lloyd blankfein green light to racist dividend or buy back stock? with us is intelligence analyst alison grimes. the fed looks at five measures of capital adequacy and on one of those measures, goldman barely cleared the bar. allison: but they did do well in other measures and depending on what is in a capital plan, they may have additional tier one issuance and if that is the case, depending on what they have factored in, all hope is not lost for a buyback. erik: meaning what, selling back preferred stock? alison: they could do prefer although they are maxed out on that bucket. however, they could do cheaper subordinated debt. stephanie: was it a surprise that goldman did so poorly last week? i'm not sure that lloyd has as much job risk as michael corbat. erik: no, i wasn't suggesting as such. alison: they had the biggest decline versus last year's results on the quantitative basis but still, if you look at where citigroup stacks up according to its peers, it has the capacity for buyback and they ma

lloyd blankfein's got senior tenure tenure. mike corbett, came in after pandit.he same guy running them for years. it doesn't last. warren buffett did i mean warren buffett's letter said these guys are shiesters. >> he goes -- he does go after bankers oftentimes. >> but not byron trotto nice man. >> people say he's trying to make sure he always gets the best deal possible. >> i think -- >> yellen. >> fair point, everything he makes. yellen, important. >> ratcheted up to that level. >> to the markets, should people have sold at nasdaq 5k? >> no no what's going to happen we've got -- when you see endless headlines, nasdaq 5k and you recognize we're in this kind of void period. almost no real earnings now. things are -- the weather was so bad. we're starting to think, did we chase the stocks when we going to get february comp numbers and they're not that good. we're saying we got up here what can we do now? and we need something. we can just keep paying up for the same earnings. it doesn't work like that. >> target might be giving some people some reasons. detailing
