in the -- patrick moynihan in the 170s when he played a very key role in senator moynihan's future. in those days he was chairman of new york's urban development corporation under hugh l. kerry and later served as chairman of the metropolitan transportation authority, the mta, where he recapitalized the system and created the metro north railroad. he is, and he is the staunchest advocate for moynihan station, and he's been very -- [applause] and he's been very dogged on this subject, thank heavens and thank you very much, lieutenant governor. lawrence o'donnell jr. is a political analyst, emmy-award winning writer and producer and is now host of msnbc's "the last word." for his association with the tv drama, "the west wing." but from 1989 to 1995 he worked with senator moynihan a serving as the taffe directer of the -- staff directer of the united states senate committee on the environment and public works and the united states senate committee on finance, both of which were chaired by senator moynihan. richard eaton is my husband, and he is -- [laughter] a federal judge on the u.s.

this man, moynihan, this may moynihan has never had a job. [laughter] >> as of this man's moynihan being informed of this took offense to it and set the following. i was working on the docks of new york before he bought his first shore up your palm made. [laughter] many people think the italian boat disappeared. but i venture. with respect to the 1976 primary, not only was congresswoman in the race, but also ramsey clark and paul o'dwyer were in the race. i think it's fair to say that if they were not in the race, there would have been no senator moynihan. in fact, he cared each part of the state. but by very small margin. he carried the city i bought 3000 votes, though he lost manhattan and the bronx, he carried the suburbs by about 3000 votes. remarkably enough he lost suffolk county. and he carried upstate by another another 3000 votes, even though, liz, i know you forgotten this, we lost joe crinkles erie county. the result was that he won by about 10,000 votes, or what he at the time as a whopping 1%.

rail's book began referring to pat moynihan as professor moynihan. a reporter informed ambassador moynihan of this and he pulled himself up to his full height and said the mudslinging has begun. there after he entered the senate and it is fair to say that not everyone anticipated that he would be the great senator he eventually became. there is certain talk about workhorses and show horses and which would he be. the idea he wasn't a workhorse was put aside right away. that is because the city and state were in deep financial trouble. in 1977 the federal loan guarantee was up for reauthorization. he and senator javits went to every hearing of the banking committee and sat with the other senators as under senate protocol and they did this because the chairman of the banking committee opposed the guarantee. by the time student loan guarantees were done it was clear that senator moynihan was a workhorse and not a show horse. it was his view that senators represent states and house of representatives represent people. it was his duty, to perform to strugg

but pat moynihan offered the president greatness. he offered him a chance to dream, he offered him a chance to dream greatly. and the president in that moment took that opportunity. the rest of the history is not happy. the bill went through the house easily and then, ultimately, was defeated in the senate finance committee where, ironically, pat would someday be the chairman. that's the story, and that's the story. [applause] >> peter, seeaughter] peter galbraith, one of the great memos -- thank you, senator, again. [applause] one of the wonderful memos in this book is one that grew out of a trip that pat moynihan took into the heart of the balkans as it was collapsing into sectarian warfareolution of senator moynin foreign policy issues. he was not the same at the end of his term as he was at the outset. >> well, steve, thank you and congratulations on bringing this all together. and i was just looking at that memo and what an extraordinary piece of writing it is. and how vividly he captures that trip. and i'm going to come back to

[inaudible] >> guest: but it took me 12 years to get my undergraduate degree. i think when you're saying is right. if you are part of the lead institution and you've gone to leave school you have the advantage is you don't even recognize. it is possible for someone with that background to recognize the american people should be given more respect and should be given, the government should derive its authority from the government and those recover

that is what i was trying to talk about when you have pat moynihan and these other figures, the disagree, but they can be friendly in their process. now it's gotten angry and people are somehow better, and i think one of the reasons -- i should have talked about this. if one of the reasons is that a lot of americans are feeling this slide in their savings and their job and their income and their health care and their day-to-day lives and the policy us responding, so the lack of response from washington is just driving people sort of you know, the deficit is dealt with, and there is the frustration builds up and i think people are taking that out on so i hope a lot of people will think about the degree to which we are to blame buy not responding to some of these things or the increasing lack of stability. >> effective step back to the filibuster -- >> all of those will be a cumulative. no one think it's going to do it.

so moynihan, in order to bring nixon over to doing some things about these things lead to donham, so we say it, that he could be benjamin disraeli, the great prime minister, 19th century prime minister of britain, who is a conservative reformer intent but queen vic tori a to do various things. but nixon was no disraeli. this was suggested that moynihan was trying to put on nixon that he would want to assume that mantle, but it was very technical. post a list or what the relationship between nixon and him. >> guest: it was a very, almost tempestuous relationship. here you had -- downtown, i don't believe in psycho biography. but you cannot do nixon, much less nixon-kissinger without getting in there had. and i'll talk about my final conclusions about nixon because i really felt i was and have had. he had nixon and kissinger each in its way deeply insecure people. we could go into that, but there it is. each of them struggle to be seen as a great wise person on foreign policy. kissinger was utterly two-faced, starting with the campaign he was extensively hubert humphrey advisor, but he

brian moynihan said he is optimistic for a dividend boost in the second half of the year. b. of a. posted a loss of 16 cents per share. analysts were expecting a profit. revenues also fell short, marking a third straight quarterly decline. the stock fell 2% today, but despite that bank of america shares are still the best performing dow stock over the last eight weeks. in other earnings news, schlumberger, the world's largest oilfield services firm, delivered healthy profits and an upbeat outlook and that led to some profit taking. the stock fell $1.80 or 2%, but it has been on a tear, rising 60% since it closed on its $11 billion purchase of smith international last summer. that deal boosted schlumberger's fourth quarter profits. earnings climbed nearly 30% to 85 cents per share. while revenues surged 58% to just over $9 billion. the company said today it's not worried about the recent jump in oil prices and today the board approved a 19% increase in its quarterly dividend. let's take a look at two stocks that benefited today from speculation about buyouts: first hugh communicatio

senator gillibrand's predecessor, senator moynihan is the one who explained this to me when i was mayor. he used to say in the '60s they let everyone out of the "insane asylums," he called them. he said that was a good thing because a lot of them didn't belong there, but there was supposed to be a follow up which was treatment in the community-- monitoring, medicine. that follow up has never taken place. well, maybe that follow up is needed now. that would probably be the most relevant response to this tragedy that almost took the life of a really fine congresswoman, who can have a great future, and did take some lives including a very young one. >> schieffer: when you were the mayor, you were pretty strong on control, for example, of handguns. do you think it is time to reexamine the gun laws? we're not talking about taking people's guns away from them. people who are qualified to have them. but is there a need to find some way to keep guns out of the hands of people like mr. loughner? >> well, i mean, it would seem to me that you'd address this with the most relevant problem first. th

was running for reelection to the senate it was my misfortune to have an opponent, daniel patrick moynihan, but in our first encounter he told the audience it is a very fine fellow but unfortunately my feet were stuck in the eighteenth century. the response, i admitted i was guilty as charged. i confessed in enduring fealty to the values and institutions embedded in the declaration of independence of the united states constitution. i neglected to confess my equal fealty to the insights in adam smith's wealthy nations. the question then of course and the question today is whether those values and institutions and in sites have any relevance to the extraordinarily different world in which we now live. our believe they do. a believe they do today. the effect is that our country was created by a remarkable group of men. people like james madison who had studied the history of experiments in freedom from the most ancient times, the times of shirley and athens and through the ages and in every instance, freedom eventually failed because of the one factor in a human affairs which is a constant, n

re-election of the senate, it was my misfortune to have an opponent, the formidable daniel patrick moynihan. he won handily but in our first encounter, he told the audience that really he is a fine fellow but unfortunately my feet were stuck in the 18th century. and the response i admitted that i was guilty as charged. i confessed and during fealty to the values and the institutions embedded in the declaration of independence and the united states constitution. i neglected to confess my equal fealty to the insights and adam smith's wealth of nations. the question then of course and the question today is whether the values and institutions and insights have any relevance to the extraordinarily different world in which we now live. i believe they do then and i believe they do today. the fact is that our country was created by a remarkable group of men, people like james madison who had studied the history of experiments and freedom for the most ancient times, the times of greece and athens and on through the ages. and in just about every instance, freedom eventually failed. why? because of th

paolucci certainly remembers 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. [laughter] well, we have right now an intelligence community, if you want to call it that, that costs us some $60, $70 billion a year. what do we get for that? what do we get, what kind of intelligence is injected into our foreign affairs by these, by this army of people working in tremendous secrecy? what are they trying to figure out? could they figure it out that, perhaps, saudi arabia is tul of wahhabis? you didn't need 60 or $70 billion to tell you that. did you need to know, did that tell you that 15 out of 19 hijackers on 9/11 were saudis? no, no, you didn't need it for that either. do you, perhaps, need it o o tell you that every of 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 i

pat moynihan said a president has 20 months to get things done and governs for the next six years short of a crisis. that was ronald reagan. it was totally predicable that he had to shift the way he has. the only surprising thing is he has done it as well as he has done so far. >> rose: let me give you the last word. >> it depends when you think investment is spending or spending is investment. that's what it comes down to. he's trying to define it his way. he gets the podium tonight. >> rose: i was struck by so many things including the fact that he talked about america as an exceptional country and at the same time he got criticism from the right at one time because in answer to that he said i think all countries think they are exceptional. he came close to defining why this country was unique and exceptional. he spoke about the concern about education and how central it is to the american experience and the feeling that perhaps in some way we have lost our way in that i thank you very much for joining us. jon meacham, john heilemann, john sununu, gwen ifill and kamala harris, and my

pat moynihan was his first friend that had the moderately important job in the johnson administration. it was much later that one had to say, he became more political probably, it's fair to say. less of the new york intellectual, and more interested in public policy once he launched the interest. he came more to the attention of people in washington. we were being very excited as a kid. i must have been home on vacation in college. he got a call early in the morning from the cabinet secretary, i can't remember who it was in the nixon cabinet. and they wanted to take issue. that's the kind of thing that happens to you in the column in the "times" and you are used to getting the call from the politician, friendly or not so friendly. i remember something never had happened. you know, when he had written essays on commentary, or -- [laughter] >> host: yeah they called -- >> guest: they didn't call. they were literary intellectual types. they sulked with a nasty essay a year later. he did get much more interested in politics and public policy. but politics got more interesting in a certain

carefully choose our words we must also remember what we do, we don't have the luxury, as senator moynihansed to caution, to choose our own facts. if we're really going to change the way we speak and hope to change the way we do business, we have to reintroduce truth into public debate. this doesn't mean rephrasing an attack line from job-killing to job-destroying as house republicans have done in response to the shooting. it means that if there's no proof that a policy takes away jobs, if in fact it shows the opposite, we shouldn't intend any differently. the nonpartisan referee we rely on for this data, the congressional budget office, found twhe comes to health reform, the claim is not true. change in rhetoric requires us to debate facts, not invent them. in the coming weeks much of the discussion on the senate floor will revolve around health care, the deficit and debt limit; those three things. each of these issues affects the number-one issue in america: jobs. and each issue is complex. if we're going to make the right decisions and point our economy in the right direction, we have t
