pat moynihan was a friend of mine. i knew daniel patrick moynihan.i was in the audience in 1985, that would be 30 years ago when he came to the kennedy school at harvard, and gave lectures, later published as his book family and nation, in which he tried to defend his own intellectual contribution and at the same time defend the political program of a democratic party. he took a real shot at it. but it wasn't only family members. defining deviancy down, that was also pat moynihan. the character of our intellectual discourse, our ability to be honest with each other, to call a spade a spade, one might say with trepidation. look at the discourse going on now in the aftermath of ferguson, baltimore, and so forth. people are writing on op-ed pages of serious newspapers if there hadn't been a riot, there wouldn't have been justice, without any sense of self consciousness or irony. you me that's the way we get justice through riots? is that justice? people are saying that as has been mentioned here, i think jason mentioned it, are saying that the very evoc

this is what she wrote in response to that moynihan report. one must question the validity of the white middle class life-style from its very foundation because it has already proven itself to be decadent and unworthy of emulation. you get a sense of the tenor of response, and why this conversation went so underground underground. in fact that prevailed, although people didn't put it in quite those ways. today the conversation about the black family is actually improved quite a bit for this reason. around the early '90s to mid '90s there started to be more research showing children of single mothers really were at a disadvantage. there was enough data at that point over a decade, over several decades to see these trends and to develop enough research that i am going to be quoting the late james wilson even soes ee -- sociologists had to believe it. there was a sense among family researchers, yes, there was a problem here, a genuine problem but although the conversation has been somewhat improved it is still in many ways very reminiscent of tha

i would appointment -- >> pat moynihan was calling for that 50 years ago. saying that's what the federal government should be doing and it didn't do it. >> i'm in agreement with that. i think it's more of a holistic approach. i believe the absence of a father, the breakdown of a family is part of the issue. there's more. we've got issues with police. we also -- i've been covering the white house the last 18 years. under democratic and republican presidents. i've seen whenever there is a budget crunch or tightness they want to go in after programs that affect the communities. there are always going to be people in this country or anywhere in the world that fall through the cracks. we have to come at this as an approach of a holistic approach. not just pointing fingers at the father, at the police. it's a holistic approach. look at the old blueprint of the civil rights movement. the most successful movement in this country. what are black people asking for in the inner cities? disease -- it's not about what is given to us it's what are we asking for as a grou

bank of america chief executive brian moynihan said there may be more expense cuts. brian moynihan: if the environment stays as flattish, less volatility, we will have to keep working the expense base down the we've worked it down to one level, decent returns. we've got to probably work it down again. said brian moynihan also resolving all the legal cases involving mortgages was the other day's biggest economist went -- was be a they's biggest a'swas be of a -- was bof biggest accomplishment. shares our down. different story at tiffany and co. shares are up more than 11%. new products helping offset the effects of a stronger dollar overseas. betty: regulators have cleared the way for a huge takeover in the cigarette industry. antitrust officials have approved reynolds american's $27 billion purchase of lorillard. reynolds will have to sell four of their brands to imperial tobacco. recode has been sold. no terms were announced. formerwas created by "wall street journal" reporter's, who had built up -- reporters who had built up a following. the republican presidential

moynihan said he wanted to solve the problem that people said was no big deal. his uncertainty was warranted. before we get start would the panel i want to thank a few people. larry moon who heads the han matt tan institute. and everyone who handled contacting the panelist to securing the venue. i want to thank all of them for their hard work. let's invite the first panelist up. while they are doing so i can read some of their bio's. the honorable robert erlich, former governor of the state of maryland. the first republican governor in 36 years when he was elected back in 2002. he doubled funding for need-based college scholarships helping college enrollment reach an all-time high on his watch. heather mcdonald is the contributing editor at city journal writing about homeland secure, immigration, policing, homelessness, and education policy. her books include are cops racist? a city journal analogy that investigates the working of the police department and the controversy of racial profiling. she is a non-practicing lawyer and clerked for the honorable stephen r

[laughter] caroline: by senator pat moynihan's letter to me. a week before i left the white house come out to see president johnson to ask him if he was the president kennedy's committee for pennsylvania avenue. before we left washington, jacobin working on the president pennsylvania avenue project. what would drive from the white house to the capital and sometimes we would walk halfway there at night, the encroachments of the presidents house to preston. he wished to do something that would ensure immobility of architecture along the avenue, which is the main artery of the government of the united states. this is not something that came with my trying to restore the white house. it was his own vision. that's why felt such an urgency about asking president johnson. i knew he would've so many things piling on him he would not give priority to the committee for pennsylvania that's why i begged him to receive them. he did. you can ask how surprised they were to be among the first means of lyndon johnson. here comes the hard part. i gather from the

pimm: brian moynihan spoke at the conference here in new york. new york city, there's a problem with the subway system. someone or some people have been stealing power cables. at least 500 feet of cables were swiped, and that has caused delays for thousands of commuters traveling through the borough and queens. authorities said they will probably sell the power cables for scrap. those are the top stories of the morning. markets are closing in europe. for the latest, let's go to ryan chilcote in london. let me give you the lay of the land here in the equity markets. it is a sea of green, or we should say landmass of green. in greece in particular, on fire, a 3.5% today. but not alone. the ftse off over 2% as well. greed tends to be very volatile -- greece tends to be very volatile. nearly as interesting as that is what we are watching in the corporate area, and in particular the airline injury -- industry. permissionticular from the government of ireland giving permission to buy that airline. both companies are up as a result. and the french telec

moynihan's reputation has gone through revival. partly because predictions turn out to be quite correct. but i'm not here to defend moynihan. i only want to talk about this issue. of how culture matters. and begin by making one -- a couple points about culture. there's no such thing as a culture of the poor or the culture of poverty. it bothers me that economists who have now especially behavioral economists are -- the subject and beyond rational choice approach beginning to develop what looks very much to me like a destiny of poverty. as they come to realize what's involved here. what we mean by culture then essentially shared knowledge about the world. and it's not static. it's -- i want to leave one important point with you, it's quite dynamic. culture can change. one reason policy people hate to talk about culture they have the impression there's nothing you can do about it. culture can change and we have dramatic examples of that in america. not only the change in white attitudes with the civil rights movement, but even more r

in the trading business after the first order dropped 20% in the fourth quarter and today brian moynihan spoke at a conference hosted by steve bernstein and said there may have to be more cuts and expenses. environment stays as flat as it feels, we will have to keep looking at expense going down to one level on decent returns, working it down again for the next couple of years. a grim future indeed. moynihan said that involving -- resolving all the legal cases involving mortgages was the biggest accomplishment. olivia: mcdonald's mired in a sales slump, they will know best and will now no longer put up monthly sales figures. they will have same-store sales for june and then they will stop providing the data. u.s. sales have fallen for six straight quarters. tiffany's found a way to offset the impact of the stronger dollar. raise prices and introduce new products area first-quarter earnings beat analysts estimates. the strong dollar has reduced the value of their fees really get the bulk of the revenue. erik: regulators have clear the way for a huge takeover in the cigarette industry. the

olivia: brian moynihan has some explaining to do.ater today the bank of america ceo meets with investors at his shareholders meeting in charlotte. at issue -- the stoxx underperformance and perhaps more sensitively his dual role as chairman and ceo. he spent time at a boutique bank that focuses on financial services. tom we will get to the issue of the dual role of chairman and ceo, but first the underperformance. bank of america missed first-quarter results that a lot of big banks knocked it out of the park. what is brian moynihan doing wrong that jamie dimon is getting right? tom: it is hard to measure companies of this size and one quarter. period. i think you have to look at what are these companies going to do in the new environment, being a global city with all the new restrictions and laws, what is their strategy from here? when you look at companies like wells fargo, jpmorgan, and bank of america, they will head in different directions. i think wells fargo's is well-fe defined. i think bank of america is under construction --

unfortunately, the moynihan report ultimately, i should say, the moynihan report was an attempt to have an honest conversation about family breakdown and black path loling. one that many today still refuse to join. faulting ghetto culture for ghetto outcomes remains largely tattoo. an op-ed in the "new york times" a few days ago about the baltimore rioting and high black crime rates carried the headline, black culture is not the problem. what is the problem? according to this author, the problem is white racism. quote, the problem originates in a political culture that has long bound black bodies to questions of property. yes, i'm referring to slavery. unquote. i'm hoping the discussions today will be a little less reductive than that and a little more honest. black crime rates in 1960 were lower than they are today. if the legacy of slavery explains the level of black crime today that legacy must have skipped a couple of generations and then reasserted itself. moynihan said that his goal was to better define a problem that many thought mistakenly, in his view, was no big deal and would

something called the "negro family," commonly called the moynihan report.t the time, he was assistant secretary of labor to democrat president johnson. he said i am very concerned for black america. i am seeing a disturbing trend of more black households headed by single women, a higher incarceration rate for black men, and a growing dependence of black americans on the welfare system. he said if we do not look at this and make sure we are creating opportunity economic opportunity for black americans, we will have a big problem. at the time that senator moynihan wrote that report, you had 23% of black babies born out of wedlock. today it is 72%. i do not know how anybody can sit up there and say when more than 50% of our prisons are populated by blacks, we have blacks committing disproportionate amounts of homicides, we have blacks not only being killed but being killed by each other, killing each other -- how can anybody sit up there and say we as black americans are not responsible for the mess we are in? and yet -- no, i want to say this one thing, yet b

liberals or democratic leadership is reluctant to say this is the problem just like patrick moynihan said said, this will lead to chaos and disruption -- dysfunction. they said that is untrue. i am not sitting here to say there are not other issues at play. but i would take care of my family first. lou: and governments with the thoughts and policies of the anti-government party and it seems the family should be the focus of our policies and support them whenever the measures are necessary. great to see you. turning to the foiled a terrorist attack in texas the islamic state taking credit for the failed plot now authorities are claiming the homeland's security department issued a warning that it could attract an attack we are live bin garland with the report. >> that claim of responsibility from isis came by a message broadcast on the radio station. it praised the two texas shooter's hand says soldiers of the caliphate. was that incredible claim of responsibility or the to put fear into the minds of america. to make that determination so any direct links between the shooters are any m

know about the famous moynihan report that was so controversial. at the 1990s when we explore the issue, the rate among whites were greater than the rates among blacks in the 60s. we were seeing a problem that was no longer unique to one racial in a groove. it was a phenomenon affecting more and more american kids. >> host: why did she move to camden? >> guest: i'm a midwesterner and midwesterners try to be humble. nobel prize winners of the most famous sociologist first time have failed to explain the trend. i thought i would have to put a little extra effort. my husband and i., my co-author in the book moved with her two small children to camden and listened in the heart of our approach was to put an ear to the ground and understand what fatherhood and parented met two people who growing up in such stark economic realities. >> host: kathryn edin, what was the lake ray johns hopkins university professor, white moving in to camden new jersey. for you except it? >> guest: it was interesting. people definitely have their stories about us. a couple ye

brian moynihan said today that unless revenue increases, more cuts are possible. staysthe environment flat, less volatility, we will reducingeep working at the expense base. he spoke at the sanford bernstein conference here in new york. goldman sachs is number one in london when it comes to paying bonuses. new figures show they paid bankers an average of $299,000 in bonuses, about 40,000 more than second-place morgan stanley. london bankers had seen their bonuses squeeze the last couple of years. the european union cap the variable pay at two times salary. gone: cyber crooks and after the irs but did not hack into their system to do damage. they use the irs website to steal information on taxpayers returns,filed pick tax and got up to $50 million in refunds. officials have removed the website function that gave them access. the obama administration is expanding regulations on waterways. some say it represents government overreach. protection comes as the army corps of engineers issues final regulations on what rivers, streams, and wetland are subject to federal ov

speaking at a conference in a, bank of america ceo brian moynihan says there may be more cuts. if the environment stays flat with less volatility, we will have two keep working. we have worked it down to one level, too decent returns. scarlet: he said resolving all the legal cases was their biggest accomplishment. alix: the federal it may -- federal aviation administration says it's going to examine the emotional health of american pilots. medicalill undergo screenings and the committee will examine the awareness and reporting of emotional and mental health issues. scarlet: goldman sachs's number one in london when it comes to paying notices. goldman paid london bankers on average of $299,000 in bonuses. seen theirers have bonuses squeezed the last couple of years. tony blair is leaving his post as the international community's mideast envoy. the quartet appointed blair in 2007 what they goal of developing the palestinian economy and institutions. scarlet: the obama administration expanding detection for waterways to keep them free of pollutants. move defies republican members

that bank of america may have to make more cuts is -- if trading doesn't improve, is from ceo ryan moynihan. it is coming as the global markets trading desk posting 28% decline in the first quarter. that is mainly on fixed income trading. it can be squeezed if revenue does not rise. let's listen to how the ceo put it. >> if the environment stays flat, we will have to keep working at expense facedown. we worked it down to one level, decent returns. we have to work it down again in the next couple of days. shares rise did see about one and half percent on the day and revenue in the fixed income currency and commodities sales and trading division, fell 7%. that was mainly due to decline in credit mortgages. compare that to j.p. morgan chase, which had a 5% increase. jamie dimon also at the conference and talking about everything from lazy shareholders to the bank successions plan. what is the story? reporter: even about the recent guilty pleas saying it could hurt business. here's the deal. succession plan, not sure how it came up, but he said he would like to be more years at the helm of the

we can go back 50 years and look at some early writings of daniel patrick moynihan, nathan glaser streetorner society. the problems aren't changing. responses are changing. the failureses are immense. we continue to permit as you say, a mayor, to deflect from his or her responsibilities in the case of baltimore, and their service in elected office. they are the ones failing millions of people in this country and yet, it goes on and on and on and on without response politically and from the american people. >> well here is what has to happen. you have to eradicate the american ghetto. how do you do that? you have to shrink the size of the underclass. we're seeing underclass behaviors on display. we have a permanent underclass in the united states become comfortable with ghetto life. how could we get them out of the comfort zone? as you mention you go after modern liberalism. modern liberal system conduct without borders. celebrates black underachievement. make excuses for abhorrent behavior in many of these neighborhoods. blames others for questionable lifestyle choices like school failur

one of the things i'm going to bring up sunday, next week, may 5th is the anniversary of the moynihaniversary, i think, couldn't be more significant when you look at it because when you read the report as i've been spending all week doing, re-reading the point, you realize exactly your point, evan. here we are, 50 years ago daniel patrick moynihan chronicled this issue and, look we have to figure out. i think we talk about the different intercity issues. let's go to baltimore. there was a constant way of how bad neighborhoods were dealt with. they essentially got isolated. they got isolated by the policing community because they assume anybody in that neighborhood was potentially a criminal. that's how you built the distrust. there was sort of this -- and look, i know people want to make it partisan or ideological. i don't think it was that. i think it was a collective decision to isolate bad communities in every city and think, if you isolate it, it will eventually go away go away as a problem and you can rebuild parts of the city. that's now the mistake that if everybody looks back

. >> look if you want to go way back you go back to pat moynihan and the report that he made in the '60s. he was a racist because he simply said we have a real epidemic and a real problem and the consequences are going to be really awful. and what you have with baltimore and these other areas are extremely high levels of this. you don't have to be a sociologic genius to understand that. and then you get gangs because you acquire the male authority. the video that we saw of the mother slapping her kid, everybody cheered that but the question is where are the fathers. that's a question that we have no answer for. the other issue is the terrible schools and the idea that they have been deprived of money is preposterous. there is the second highest per capita spending on kids in the country and if you want to blame it on political ideology it's the ideology of liberals who want to throw money at the problem. we think if we throw more money at education it will work it will not. the public schools are rotten. what the parents need are school choice. >> we're about out of time. i know you'r

or democratic leadership is reluctant to say this is the problem because just like when patrick moynihan said in his famous report, this is going to lead to chaos and dysfunction and was called a racist, if you recall back then. >> the benign neglect reference. >> now, when he said that that's not true, how can you say that about black people we love families. but look at what's become of that family. so i'm not sitting here to say to you, mr. dobbs, oh, there aren't other issues at play. it's not the case that you don't have in some cases brutal cops. but you know what, i would take care of my family first. >> great to see you. chris, good to see you. thank you, gentlemen. >>> coming up a terrorist attack thwarted in texas. the senate working to review any deal with a leading state sponsor of terrorism. senator john barrasso our special guest. >>> the senate could vote as early as this week on legislation targeting the iranian nuclear deal. joining us now, senator john barrasso, a member of several committees including energy, natural resources, environment and foreign relations. he's a

as someone who had authored a national review online in october, 50 years since moynihan, and i recommend it to all of you. my thought was, more sentencing statutes that make sense, less rioters. more drug laws that make sense less rioters. and so after these initial thoughts thoughts, during these interview processes, as days unfolded, i also began to think about the fact of this case and what was truly at issue here. because these were consequences of failed policies for decades. but what were the facts of this case? how did a severed spine result from this particular transport? who was negligent, who was not? who should be held responsible? and the real issue here, which is police practices, much less race. although it is race, race race race, race because race equals ratings. but police practices and what happened with regard to this particular prisoner in that van that night. and we don't know. we don't know. but we'll find out. we'll certainly find out. my concluding comment is this. as someone who has been a state legislator, in congress and governor i certainly lyly would indulge,
