brian moynihan took over as c.e.o. a year ago. bank of america, based in charlotte has $89 billion in revenues, 53 million consumer customers, and it's the number two mortgage lender. earlier today, i sat down with moynihan in new york and began by asking, how's the economy doing? >> i think we're in recovery, and we continue to make progress for it. consumers are spending a little bit more. and t market companies are borrowing a little more than they did in the summer. so i think we're moving forward. >> susie: but, you know, brian, with unemployment close to 10%, most americans don't feel like we're in a recovery. >> right. and that's the issue we have. we have sort of an issue of the idea with society you have a group of people who's jobs are heavily impacted by this recession, crosswalk, home construction, auto, and things like that. and a group of people who aren't so heavily impacted. and they've been able to maintain earning money and things. i think policy-makers, the business community, and everybody has to get together a

brian white hands name so anything that says brian moynihan sucks dot com brian moynihan blows dot com it's no longer available are you catching on to the theme here reports show that on december seventeenth hundred. of domain names along those same lines were bought up so it's like someone is a little afraid of the public badmouthing the executives in repose being leaked on those websites but it's kind of a funny line of defense and to think the bank is also reportedly created an entire war room to build a strategy to counteract any potentially devastating information coming from wiki leaks so we thought you know a bank of america maybe we can help out so we thought of a few domain names that you should consider buying up how about be a waste all my money dot com or b o a bankrupt america dot com maybe something like b.-o. a i hate you so effing much stuck up all right oh b o a rotten health dot com but i digress from the looks of bank of america is already scared to death over these upcoming leaks so maybe it's best just to sit back and watch them sweat. and perhaps to add a new exam

and then, turned to senator moynihan who had been a teacher of mine and obviously a friend of mine. i wrote his biography when he just came to the senate. like i said, published in 1997 or 78. it was trilling for me as a young person under 30 to have a chance to write about such seminal figures. one in the case of britain and the other in the case of american politics so it was a great thrill for me. >> host: what was the best thing about moynihan? >> guest: his intellect. a brilliant man. i don't know if you've seen steve wiseman's book yet. it was extraordinary the range and depth of subjects he wrote and spoke about. the problem we have in our politics there are so few people who are able to do more than just mouth talking points. just one more comment and scott certainly should talk about his extraordinary back ground as well, but i went to a breakfast this morning with former governor kerry of new york and in his early 90s he is well aware what is going on. a bit infirmed but in great shape and somebody mentioned northern ireland. we had the four horseman alluding to himself, s

about the current lending environment, mortages and foreclosures, and consumer banking with brian moynihan, c.e.o. of bank of america. and, our "word on the street" is "uncovered." from new trucks to gambling, we'll look at some breakout stocks that are benefiting as their sectors experience a resurgence. kraft foods is turning up the heat on its battle with starbucks. kraft asked a judge today to stop starbucks from canceling its distribution contract. kraft now makes about $0.5 billion a year selling starbucks coffee to supermarkets and other retailers. last month, starbucks said it wants to end that deal and called today's move a "delaying tactic." >> tom: 2010 may turn out to be a better year for advertising spending than originally thought. several forecasts released today predict ad sales will be strong next year too. that's because spending in fast- growing economies like china will outweigh uncertainty in large western markets. experts predict advertisers will spend more money online as they move away from traditional media like newspapers. euqutuuuu b@ an update to the tonight's l

apparently bank of america is ball four hundred and thirty nine you or else including things like brian moynihan sucks com who is the c.e.o. and then they went out of their way and bought all sorts of u.r.l.'s for other executives catherine sucks dot com and she's just the global technology an operations executive they bought sallie krawcheck blows dot com they also have. more than a hand below is that common so they've all hundreds of these for all these executives and. so let me get this straight the bank of america to avoid a public relations problem went out and bought broad morning sucks. you know bank of america brian morning sucks brian morning blues dot com to avoid a public relations problem. the fourth failed reading the verdict in the second trial of the former oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky is getting underway sentencing is expected on friday of course kenyan day's business popular found guilty of or an investment in money laundering both men are coming to the end of a previous jail term for tax evasion and fraud parties or covers are affairs across departments. therefore as far as

a was helpful and as he foresaw patrick moynihan later suggested roosevelt could have impeached for pulling this thing off which he did. but he must have known this plan, the big impact would be on the shift that of the war against hitler would ultimately lead to his destruction. it did, all that worked out but it was too late for the 6 million jews in europe, but that is the course he took. there's a great emergence in this book and that was an unlikely hero. this is henry morgan fall, treasury secretary, longtime friend and neighbor of roosevelt to the perceived as his colleagues among fdr so they didn't ask him to pressure roosevelt because they didn't think it was that significant. he could be considered rodney dangerfield of the president but once he got involved in the struggle he provided a striking contrast hypocrisy that undermines the hope by the jewish community to the president's views. he took with of the skipper which was the president's name for roosevelt apparently to an article. taking advantage of that gave him the confidence to overcome his insecurities and to take on the

now, daniel patrick moynihan with whom i worked in the u.s. senate, a man of many flaws but of some intellectual capacity. one of his favorite sayings was, intelligence is not to be confused with intelligence. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and >> it cost us some 60, $70 billion a year. what do we get from that? what do we get, what kind of intelligence is injected into our foreign affairs by this harming of people working in tremendous secrecy? what are they trying to figure out? couldn't figure out out that perhaps saudi arabia is full of wahhabi's? you did need 60 or $70 billion to tell you that. did you need to know, did that tell you that 15 out of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were saudis? no, no. you did need for that either. did you perhaps needed to tell you that every arab government supports the causes for which 9/11 was perpetrated? no, you don't need for that either. so what do you need them for? well, you need the

now you certainly remember daniel patrick moynihan for who i worked in the senate. a man of many fellas but have some intellectual capacity. when you think intelligence is not going to be confused with intelligence. well, we have right now and intelligent community if you want to call it that, that cost us some 60, $70 billion. what do we get for that? what kind of intelligence is inject it into foreign affairs by the squirmy of people working in tremendous secrecy? what are they trying to figure out? could they figure out that perhaps saudi arabia is full of wahhabi? you do need 60 or $70 billion to figure that. did you need to know -- does that tell you that 16 out of 19 hijackers on 9/11 were saudi? no, no, you didn't need it for that either. do you perhaps need it to tell you that every arab government supports the causes for which 9/11 was perpetrated? no, you don't need it for that either. so what do you need them for? well, you need them to tell you about the whereabouts of minor players in afghanistan or in iraq. the gee, why do you need that? supposed to ki

people at the points, at the poll, left and right starting with the party, but you have senator moynihan's theory. we know that happens, but it seems like the middle does get blanked out of the discussion. >> i think that's true. and i think what has to happen is that we've got to elevate the policy discussion here. look, this is one vote. an important vote, but it's one vote. what we really need to be doing is casti ining our eyes forward the way of comprehensive tax reform, a compelling story for the american people and our trading partners around the world. i think if we do that hard work, what we're going to find is that the people polarizing on either side are going to have to come to grips with the stubborn facts that we're going to have to deal with and that's what the people in my town halls told me over and over again. >> i've got to get to this last point. it just broke that the federal judge in virginia, the lowest federal bench. has decreed that the individual mandate, the requirement that everyone buy health insurance, is unconstitutional, according to to him. what do you thin

ted kennedy, orrin hatch, bill clinton and daniel patrick moynihan, they all wrote me. from politicians, the one i liked best was years ago from senator barry goldwater. i didn't agree with goldwater about much of anything politically, but i admired him a lot personally. and after i wrote a piece about him for "60 minutes" that harry reasoner did, we became good friends. as much as i disliked barry's politics, i couldn't help liking him a lot personally. robert schuller, the pastor of the crystal cathedral in garden grove, california, wrote me a couple of good letters, even though he and i don't agree much about religion. i get christmas cards from the comedienne phyllis diller. even the beautiful loretta young sent me a nice note years ago. of all the letters i've saved, the ones i like best are from friends i worked with-- arthur godfrey, charles kuralt, walter cronkite, garry moore, and harry reasoner. don't wait for me to throw out the letters i got from any of them. >> kroft: i'm steve kroft. we'll be back next week with another edition of "60 minutes." hey... ever

points, at the polls left and right starting with tea party and then of course you have senator moynihan's theory of the iron law of emulation where the other side starts to imitate the other side. we know that that happens but it seems like the middle does get blanked out of the discussion. >> i think that's true. and i think what has to happen is that we've got to elevate the policy discussion here. look, this is one vote, it's an important vote, but it's one vote. what we really need to be doing is casting our eyes forward, and saying what are we going to do in the way of comprehensive tax reform? what are we going to do to create a compelling story for the american people and for our trading partners around the world that we're going to dig ourselves out of this deficit? and i think if we do that hard work what we're going to find is that the people that are polarizing on either side are going to have to come to grips with these stubborn facts that we're going to have to deal with, and that's what the people in my town hall's told me over and over again what they want us to do. >> what

patrick moynihan later suggested that roosevelt could have been impeached for pulling this thing off,which he did with cho and's guidance or excise. cohen must have known that this plan the impact would be on the ships and insured the u.s. would win the war against hitler and ultimately lead to his destruction. all of that worked out but it was somewhat too late for 6 million jews in europe. but that was because he took. now, these are not -- there is a hopeful sound here in the good guy that emerges here in this book and that was an unlikely hero. this is henry morgenthau, roosevelt's treasury secretary longtime friend, a neighbor of roosevelt and dutchess county. he lacks the prestige of his colleagues among roosevelt so they didn't ask them to pressure roosevelt because they didn't think he was that significant. to use a modern idiom he could be considered the rodney dangerfield of the presidents choose. once he got involved, he provided a striking contrast to the hypocrisy and pusillanimous that undermine the hopes held by the jewish community for the presidents choose. he had tak

i mean, pat moynihan, a hero of both of ours used to say the problem isn't leaking secrets, the problem is there are too many secrets. it's the overclassification of information. one of the things... and the fact that it's available to too many people. i think one of the things... one of the unintended consequences of the wikileaks will be re-evaluating what we classify and what we don't. i mean, there's too much that that's classified and there are too many people who have access to it. there's no doubt about that. in that way, we make julian assange possible, right? because we're hiding things that shouldn't necessarily be hidden. and we're using technology that's penetrable. and so in effect we are creating him by our own policies. so, you know, that's another way of looking at it. >> rose: did he tell you he thought hillary clinton should be fired? >> he said... i said... i asked him, i said there's a lot of people that are sort of circling around the secretary of state and i said do you feel that she's responsible for any of this in such a way that she should either resign or be fi

during the 1980s, pennsylvania avenue had he come very lighted here it's a wonder sanner patrick moynihan and other notable, for the pennsylvania avenue redevelopment corp. and we developed pennsylvania avenue in the temperance movement was downgraded. so hence the grand army of the republic was put in its place. >> i started at two in 2006. so at this .3 and half years. >> would he be the idea? >> when i was writing "the prohibition hangover," i was looking for ways to build up my platform for the book. in one of the things was developing it to her. so at this point i've had hundreds of people, matured him numerous times of the occult organization called walking town d.c., which is pre-cultural tours on washington d.c. >> so this is >> this is the temperance fountain. this was then called washington d.c.'s ugliest fountain. don't see where i'm at the top are four words, faith, hope, charity and finally temperance, which gave the town its name. but by the way comes out of the bible from st. paul's letter to the corinthians. the fountain here was actually based here in 82 by a point called

as pat moynihan said so famously, not their own set of facts.n i see people chartering back and forth, i think that's wonderful. i'm not a censor. i like to hear a fact. i don't even tweet. by the way, why do you have me on? i don't tweet, i don't facebook. who else? sarah palin. i really mean it. i'm trying to be very serious. i think the tea party movement would have been very large without her or senator demint as a, you know, kind of afterthought. but, still, using "time's" criteria for better or worse, she had a great impact this past year, the entire year. she lost some of her candidates. she won some of her candidates. the poor moose she shot. i mean, there's an impact for you. but i think that people like sarah palin, to me, are ones that really move -- great movements of this country. >> she commanded attention in our national politics like no one else. a singular figure. love her or not. she was a dominant player in the tea party movement. she was a dominant player in the campaign this year. piers morgan, when you come across the pond

i would follow up on the leader's comment about a little scuffle i had with pat moynihan.i never talked about it. he -- we never said anything publicly until now. but he did later on, as we became fast friends, used to tease me about setting up boxing matches so we could raise money for charity. but when i looked at his height and his reach, i didn't take him up on that. but in a

our old friend patrick moynihan used to remind all of us in the tha united states senate and the countryhat everybody is entitled to own opinion but they are not entitled to their own facts.hat john adams made that famous facts statement that facts are the stubborn things and facts are stubborn things. the facts are that this treaty is not being rushed. this treaty was delayed at the republins request of republicans. this treaty was delayed 13 times separately by senator lugar to respect their desire to have more time to do it themo the modernization issue, which the administration has completely, totally, thoroughly dealt with in good faith. i want to know what the good faith comes from on the other side occasionally.they they put extra money in. they sat and negotiated. w they sent people to arizona to brief senator kyl personally. for weeks we delayed the process of moving forward on this treatyand in order to accommodate our friends on the other side of theul aisle. i now fully accommodated, with their requests entirely meanteing rus they come back and say it's been rushed. well, mr.

moynihan's corollary to bommels disease is that there are activities were the disease is more pronounced to migrate to or be relocated to the private sector. for example, every five years a share of gdp devoted to government spending on health care goes up by one percentage point. as we contemplate our long run fiscal future, we must contemplate this reality rather than to suppose that there is some past static pattern our revenues and expenditures that can be maintained indefinitely. that is why the work of the bolls/simpson committee is so important. that is what president obama committed himself to health care cost reduction in the context of the recently enacted health care legislation. if there was never an area where president kennedy's doctrine demands man's problems were made by man and therefore can be solved by man, if it was ever any place that that can be applied it would be the budget deficit. greece and ireland are being called upon to make fiscal adjustments in the range of 10% of gdp. once our temporary fiscal support expires we need an improvement only in the 2% to 3% ra

i think that people like the in the patrick moynihan and his book on government secrecy point out that one of the first victims of government secrecy is the congress itself. the congress repeatedly has been repudiated from getting the information in order to perform its constitutional responsibilities such as its war making power, oversight subpoena power, its appropriations, deliberations and many others. ruth fine has decried this deprivation of information on the part of by the insipid branch, veazey converse as a principal cause of weakening what is supposed to be the most powerful branch of our government. if you look at the historical record, the benefits of disclosure vastly outweigh the risk that comes from disclosure. war could have been prevented if the american people knew what was going on in of the spanish-american war and world war ii and the tonkin gulf resolution if the american people knew what was going on before the invasion of iraq with the line is, the cover-ups, the distortions, that now have been historically documented by the bush administration including richar
