also, i talk about people like a man named james mack, coach mack i call him. james mack was a swim coach at morgan state university in baltimore where i'm from. he also ran a wrestling club and was a decon in my church and coach mack whenever he would meet a young boy, he would say hi, champ, how are you doing. he would say wallison, there are two kinds of boys in this world, champs and chumps. i wasn't anyone that people spent time with, again, because of my stutter, i didn't talk much, because of my inability to read, i didn't participate in many church activities at the time, so i wasn't one of the kids a had great promise, that people wanted to embrace right away, but coach mack did. well, if my community, back when communities were a place with when neighbors talked, you looked after your children, coach mack had heard that i was about to get into trouble. as i mentioned, because of my size, pause of my learning issues -- because of my learning issues, i was bullied a lot by kids and i talked a lot about bullying. we've seen the stories of what happens ac

>> reporter: even if you think macke and blankfein provide a reasoned defense, however, one huge finalquestion remains: has the firm been making record profits with your and my money? we'll look at that next time. >> woodruff: and to the record- breaking snow storm-- ray suarez has the clean-up story. >> suarez: sunrise brought the scale of the big dig into stark, snowy relief. from washington, through baltimore, philadelphia and into new york city, crews labored to move mountains. they also worked to bring heat and light back for more than 100,000 households from virginia to new jersey that lost power during yesterday's coast-coating blizzard up and down the east coast-- except for new york city-- schools were closed again today, and the federal government was shut down for an unprecedented fourth straight day as the capital dug out from its record breaking snow. with too much snow, and not enough machines to move it, the district of columbia is bringing in hundreds of pieces of equipment-- plows, trucks, from nearby states. adrian fenty is mayor of the district of columbia. >> so tod

we asked defender jeff macke. it doesn't bother you that they are too big to fail and, therefore, we, the u.s. taxpayers, have to bail them out, if push comes to shove? >> they're not too big to fail; they're too good to fail. wilt chamberlain said it best when he said, "nobody roots for goliath." everyone is out to get goldman sachs because they're the best. they make money and they survive in this environment when other people aren't. >> reporter: goldman investor warren buffett told bloomberg tv that he agrees. >> i'm very happy with the way goldman has performed. they have... the place is very well run. >> and with the way blankfein has performed, you're absolutely satisfied. >> oh, i don't think you could have had a better manager than lloyd blankfein. >> reporter: "but wait," says -- "not only did we provide tarp money and a guarantee, the government also bailed out a.i.g., which owed goldman sachs $12.9 billion." >> had the government not propped up a.i.g., goldman sachs would not have gotten that $12.9 bil

[ light laughter ] >> jimmy: anyway. they're taking the brand new show "men of a certain age." it's about the day-to-day life of a middle-aged guy and combining it with a show that's not even on the air anymore, "e.r." the result is "e.d." a dramatic new series about erectile dysfunction. [ laughter ] it's going to be fantastic. there's actually a warning on the bottom, too. it says "if this show lasts for four hours or more, stop watching and call your doctor." [ laughter ] see? it informs as it entertains, and that's good tv. now, check this one out. what do you get when you combine abc's "shark tank" and showtime's "secret diary of a call girl"? you get nbc's hottest new game show, "skank tank." [ laughter ] where hookers compete and see who can hold their breath in a giant aquarium the longest. [ light laughter ] the slogan is "we're going to need a bigger filter," is what it says. [ audience groans ] i can't wait for it. tivo is already set. this next one is interesting. it

would a love story about shirley mack -- maclaine and hector elizondo sell in this town today? >> i don't think so. you kind of stop at meryl streep. good place. but no, i at this think a story like that would work if a few young people were in it too. in this case they have down to 19. taylor swift, taylor lautner. we have a lot of taylors. then we go up to we don't say what age but the senior love story is really very interesting it probably only shirley maclaine could have played it. it takes place in a cemetery. no pun intended, it just happens to take place there. i just wish they would push the senior elements too. there's no age thing. kids fall in love. crushes. it's all over. a lot of people want to be enlightened. what better subject, get some enlightenment about love. but i had great actors and they delivered. other than funny you want to have some emotion and i think the key to a love story is have all the fun, the jokes, but when you get near the end see if you can eliminate the dialogue and just do it with pictures. it works out if you have good music. tavis: to y

that's why mack here who is just a day old when he is ready for his nap will sleep on his back. >> amal baby will wake up and stir and turn its head and get itself out of that dangerous situation. face-down baby may be rebreathing carbon dioxide and this builds up. >> reporter: there is currently no screening test for serotonin levels in the brain, but they hope some day there will be. what do you hear from parents? >> what we hear is hope. i don't know how else to say it. >> reporter: hope that fewer babies die and more families are spared this terrible grief. dr. nancy snyderman, nbc news, boston. >>> when our broadcast continues in just a moment, a big change on the west coast. hange on the west coast.

but what you're specifically alluding to was morgan stanley and to john mack's great credit he had goneut and interested a japanese bank in making an investment. mitsubishi. and that... and but he needed that deal to close, we wanted it to close. we were naturally... all through this crisis we talked with foreign governments. they had a real interest in the stability of our system and what was going on, so we talked to the chinese, we talked to the japanese. now, in the case of the morgan stanley investment with mitsubishi, the japanese government obviously wanted to know, as did the bank, that investment would be welcomed and that the u.s. government wouldn't go right after investment was made and do something that would... >> rose: so what did you say to the japanese? >> so what we did was i talked with the japanese fiennes minister and told him it would be very much welcomed and we ended up providing a... as i tell the story in the book, a letter to the japanese government which never mentioned morgan stanley or mitsubishi by name but made it very clear that this was going to be welc

. >> larry: in writing it, mack, you talked to these people. what's the common thread between them?usted with a lot of classified information. and also i think a high tolerance for risk and most of all probably the ability to think under pressure. it's one thing to be able to figure out a circuit board but another thing to be able to do that when someone's shooting at you or when the circuit board might blow up. >> larry: what is the biggest challenge in directing it, kathryn? >> well, probably putting all the moving parts together then in the middle east in the summer and trying to get, for instance, black powder in through various, like across syria and into jordan and it was just a very -- it was a very complicated shoot. just from the logistical standpoint. that was probably the most difficult. >> getting the money wasn't easy, either. >> larry: this is not an expensive film, is it? >> relative. more money than any of us had in the bank. none of the hollywood financiers wanted to make it, so we had a lot of doors slammed in our faces before we were able to find someone willing t

mack guess, sir. talking about the flight with the attempted tears. >> yes, sir, we of course obviously control that fighter air traffic control procedures and the aircraft landed. they indicated they had a problem. there's the communication gap between the cabin and the flight deck crew. the flight deck crew reported they had someone who attempted to set firecrackers off. so it didn't elevate to anyone whether it was the cockpit or air traffic control to anything of great seriousness at that point. however, he began to escalate and if you follow the timeline, and if you follow the timeline, we have a very robust system transportation security administration, all of those procedures were tried, followed. we isolated the airplane as it was known to us what were doing. we also then began to very quickly expand notification. we set up using our communication system and a domestic events that were. we reached out to other carriers in the country can't explain to them what was going on and set up procedure

john mack, the chairman of morgan stanley said the same thing last night.s is moving way too slow and they need clarity. you're on the same page with that but you do you think some of your own senators, republican colleagues, would come on board when you start hearing voices from industry saying the same thing? >> look, i had a meeting with all of the republican senators on the banking committee yesterday. and it went well. i think all of us just want to get the right thing done. something that doesn't create some sweeping new powers on the consumer side that undermine the safety and soundness piece. but, you know, chris dodd and i were in central america last week. i think you know that. our staffs have been working closely together. warner's staff has been working. i think we're going to get to a place soon on a bill that will stand the test of time. and i think there's going to be lots of republicans who come on board. i had a very good meeting yesterday with senator shelby, actually two of them. i think things are beginning to percolate in a very, very

nbc's josh mack wits is in l.a. with the latest. josh, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, meredith. is today the day? no one seems able to say for sure. it's been more than seven months since michael jackson died. after a lengthy investigation by the lapd, prosecutors are poised to charge his personal physical, dr. conrad murray, with involuntary manslaughter, and murray's attorneys say they're ready to hand him over. >> fire/paramedic 33. what is your address for your emergency? >> yes, sir, i need an ambulance as soon as possible, sir. >> reporter: june 25th, 2009. michael jackson lay dead or dying in his l.a. mansion. >> did anybody see him? >> yes, we have a personal doctor here with him, sir. >> reporter: his name, conrad murray, a well-regarded cardiologist from las vegas. two days after jackson died, police sources say murray supplied a timeline of what he did to and for michael jackson that night. according to court documents, murray said that between 1:30 to 7:30 a.m., he gave jackson sedatives and anxiety drugs to he

mack, a democrat. caller: thank you for c-span.e in such a serious need of a pet talk but i don't know what kind of vague talk could possibly come about. i'm a democrat. i am going to switch to become an independent. trying to talk to republicans is like trying to negotiate with the iranians and the republicans k of no and i'm finding out the democrats are the party of maybe. the government -- politicians have got to step up and start to make some simple butu! profound decisions on behalf of the american people and the american taxpayer. i believe one the super great fix would be to sell the medicare, not to people 55 necessarily end up, but to people 25 and up for full premiums as if you were paying a full monthly premium, pay it to the government and let the government make a profit and let the government make money on already existing health care institutions like medicare. they've got to make decisions -- i think we need to have a vat tax like we have in europe. we are going to have to raise taxes. republicans don't want to hea

judge it by, as long as the -- it's like if the terrorist says my religion requires me to have a big mackf we don't give him that big mac we are violating this profession and our intelligence professionals are go to jail. there are provisions that say prolonged isolation will cause our intelligence professionals to go to jail if they do that with the terrorists. how many county jails and state prisons in the country could operate under this standard? i would say none. . this would treat terrorists more gingerly. unfortunately, mr. speaker, what this bill does is avoids the debates on the substantive issues, but yet there is this thread which i don't believe the president seems to share. perhaps some in his administration do. a few people in this congress do. a thread of antagonism against our intelligence professionals that says we're going to prosecute them, as the justice department is investigating, that we are going to send them to jail if they don't coddle to jail if they don't coddle these terr appropriate way. i think that reflects a lack of seriousness with this measure and that i

the book from -- quote from the book, mack three is misleading and radically so. it's part of his polemic against the mercantilist series that manufacturing is better than agriculture. smith -- one of the main points of "the wealth of nations" as a whole is to say manufacturing isn't better than agriculture and agriculture is and better than in the factory. a country should do whatever its best suited for, or rather the individuals in the country. if you leave them alone to find a their unemployment and this fits with what russell was saying it will naturally seek the kind of work that is enumerated, which means basically that kind of work that is most needed by the societies of the government doesn't need to promote manufacturing at the cost of commerce -- sorry, and factor that cost of agriculture or agricultural the cost of manufacturing. and that may sound like a technical point, but in a the context of the day where there were many people who felt the job of the government was to promote the kind of industry that makes countries of the richest and some people

representative meeks in coordination with chairman skelton and representative mack have introduced a resolution to commemorate the efforts of the united states armed forces, of local first responders and other members of operation unified response for their swift and coordinated action in response to the earthquake in haiti. i am proud to say i have supported each of these initiatives. there has been an outpouring of international support for haiti. the first priority has been saving lives. that means getting water, food, shelter, medicine and other basic supplies to victims. beyond the essentials are issues of security and debt repayment, both of which can undermine rebuilding efforts. the united nations' secretary general, sought approval from the security council to send an additional 3,500 security officers to haiti. the officers are needed both to maintain public order and to guard deliveries of food and aid. so far violence has been scattereded, but fears of violence grow as the difficulties of living without water, food and shelter mount. as the world bank president has said,
