reich? >> i didn't know those percentages until i heard you say them today. >> let me just make sure i get this in context. wamu was a big, wamu was one of the big thrifts that you were supervising? >> that's correct. >> in fact, they were the biggest, right? >> that is correct. >> and so, and they had, i think, at one point of the thrifts you were supervising 25% of the assets under supervision were wamu assets? approximately. >> do you think it's hard for me to believe that you department know that 90% of all the home equity loans they were i doing were stated income? >> i don't know if it's hard for you to believe or not, but i did not personally keep track of the composition of each segment of their portfolio. i was focused on asset quality overall and not within each component of the portfolio. >> mr. docho works? dochow? >> the percentages are alarming. >> yeah. >> but i also think it's fair to keep in perspective different products -- >> i'm trying to keep this in perspective, i reall

here's our dynamic duo, former labor secretary robert reich, is the author of "super capitalism." and steve moor author of "return to prosperity." you heard me. give me a quickie, and then we'll come back. secretary reich, you first. >> yes, i think it should be privatized, no less than wall street banks should be privatized. let's privatized everybody. no more bailouts to any big organization. >> steve moore, this is a burning bush moment. >> i sure am. illegal privatize that, and i'll up the anti. i want to private az university of california berkeley. >> unfortunately that's the way we're going. >> ucal berkeley is 80% privatized. we won't debate cal berkeley. we're going to come back and talk about how to get rid of fannie and fredry. stay with us. >>> all right. we're talking fannie and freddie. they testified before this financial crisis committee in washington. steve moore, let me go -- you guys would both like to privatize. i want to go to a separate but related subject. we know the model for private profit and taxpayer bailouts doesn't work, but i want to get into this. h

reich? >> in my opinion, our examiners on the ground were testing the qualities through all of their portfolios and they did that consistently year after year after year. >> right. >> and the institution continued to be too rated which is -- >> but now you know and because you didn't have it and you didn't know, you now know that all of these stated loans were out there. don't you have to, now that you know, have to say that at least he would begin to look at the possibility? >> i would agree with that, senator senator kauffman but the american dream and getting people in their homes and finding financing vehicles that would enable them to do that. >> thank you. the point i want to make as we went through that. basil ii, all of these things were going on but that is what scares me mr. reich. okey you've got to understand the environment. it's the environment. everybody was doing it. you have to understand that and my basic thinking is it that is where we are then senator levin and i are on a

he said the jewish people have caused all the problems plaguing the german people, he believed the reichgovernment had taken measures that would lead to a job or relationship between the german and jewish people. on the whole much is left unclear but the papers were clueless in by later this morning. we certainly will be disappointed if you were expecting things to get worse. in the meantime i have read the new laws. for the most part they are things one already knew in advance that prohibition on mixed marriages, no area and female domestic servant under 45 years, civil rights and the reich, jews only legal subject. if one had watched the national socialist movement closely, one has to have seen these things coming. they are quite consistent in this respect. coming from a jewish point of view, i completely welcomed the ban on mixed marriages. it appears that the laws of announced last sunday have had a calming, certain calming effect on german jewish relations that on an uplifting note jews recognized as a people. and with this, any future for assimilation in germany has definitely disa

to brian reich, detective bergen county prosecutor's office. brian reich, earlier mr.t, anthony f. list out of philadelphia, attorney for gosselin, said that the photos that we are showing are not evidence. but isn't it true, mr. reich, that in court photos, unless they can be disproved as being tampered with or irrelevant, do come into evidence as admissible evidence? >> absolutely. both the criminal and civil use. especially in criminal use. we commonly use photographs. i mean, the only thing they would do is probably try to verify the veracity, the legitimacy of those photographs, maybe get a certified forensic examiner to show that none of the bits or bytes have been changed and make sure that those photos have not been photoshopped. but once that could be proven, that they're legit photos, they can certainly be entered into evidence. >> back to marc malkin, "e!" online columnist. marc, is jon gosselin saying that "dancing with the stars" is actually damaging the children? >> yeah. i mean, he's sort of claiming that because kate is training for the show, competing

host: professor reich, what do you think? guest: randy is correct that there is a lot of uncertainty in the business community right now about new regulations, new rules coming down. but i think the biggest source of uncertainty is whether there's going to be enough demand among consumers for all of the goods and services for the pri -- the businesses they are producing. we have had ituri and legal uncertainty before, but the businesses -- we have had regulatory and legal uncertainty before, but the businesses are reluctant to hire when they do not know there will be enough consumers out there to buy everything they want. that is the number one uncertainty. until they know that, they are simply not going to do a lot of hiring. small businesses have a special problem. the biggest problem for small businesses is not the regulatory uncertainty. it is not even necessarily knowing how many consumers are going to be out there. the biggest problem for small businesses is that they are still having a lot of trouble getting credit, ba

reich, scott, and then by mr. reich, mr. franken it went to the fdic because i committed to the deal i guess is the fdic to consider the comments in an effort to minimize their letterwriting and posturing. this is the beginning of a very strange relationship, which i will get to in a minute. the point of this is at the top of that exhibit 45, where he was high up in the ots says thanks for the document. and the knows what he says, is unfortunate another example of a benign supervisory document. it's still benign. apparently. according to the higher up at ots. isn't not that whole m.o.u. issue, does it not strike you as simply incredible, first of all, you don't have and m.o.u. to begin with. although policy provides you have a downgraded, from a two to three, it is delayed they accept instead of board resolution which is not public. months and months go by. finally, they decide okay, apologetically, twice in an e-mail, people that are supposed to be regulating, sorry, we could reach. we tried, tried twice. why the hell isn't

first of all, this morning we had liberal robert reich and conservative marty feldstein, they both came out against paul volck volcker's back tax proposal. how do you stand? >> it's hard for me to understand how paul volcker, as bright as he is, is going to ask for a value-added tax, we were europe's worst night mares. that's a progressive tax that literally allows the left to continue to increase taxes the rest of our lives. i've said they're trying to europeanize american. the value-added tax, anytime you want to increase it, they'll be able to increase it. it's another thing to say, but we're not going to cut any spending, we're not going to get spending under control, we won't live within constitutional mandates. we won't find any way of trying to make this system work. we're going to at least 25%, and more than 25% of our gdp in expenses in this country. the nermal rate is somewhere around 20%. it's just awful. >> well, scott rasmussen's latest poll out yesterday, he says people feel like they're overtaxed. interestingly, sir, 75% according to the poll say the top tax rate should o

the interesting one was of the governor of the reich's bank between the '20s. had saved germany from hyperinflation. he was in part for the german economic miracle of the '20s even though a lot of it was based on borrowed money. when the crash occurred, in early 1930, he could see germany was going to go through the wringer. and now he was a brilliant mean but a complete opportunist so he resigned. >> host: rather than fix the problem. >> guest: exactly. because he did not want to be blamed. he resurfaced three years later in early 1933 as hitler's minister of the economy and head of the reich's bank during the hitler years. and presided over a second economic miracle, a very different one during the hitler years. and it was not based on the gold standard. it was not based on germany rejoining an open economy. it was based on sort of a model of germany basically pulling itself up and arming itself by sort of pulling itself up by its boot straps. and he invented a whole sort of system of running the economy that worked within those terms. in 1939 he fell out wit

austria was deeply involved in the crimes of the third reich. now it is illegal to deny the holocaust or make statements that glorify the nazi regime. >> i will not give you my voice. >> these days she strongly denies ever wanting to get rid of the anti-nazi laws. she says the presidency should properly represent austria. >> it belongs to the austrian people. anybody who wants to say something must find a person to talk to. >> many austrians thing is a scandal she is running at all. -- they think it is a scandal. there have been protests against her presidency. barbara is not expected to win this election. polls say the current president is likely to get about 80% of the votes. the sensitivities about austria's past still run deep. >> the latest headlines for you. president obama is urging wall street not to fight its financial reform. there are signs of agreement between republicans and democrats. at least five grenade explosions ripped through the bangkok capital. it killed at least three people. britain's prospective prime ministers, gordon b

my guest next week, former sekera tear of labor robert reich. keep it right here, where wall street meets main street. have a great weekend.

after years of preparatory agitation by the party that sustains it the government of the third reich has postulated and invested in that postulate with the force of law that the jews constitute a foreign body within the nation, and one that is inhibiting that german nation from legitimately affirming its status as the chosen people. these people need to be cleansed and liberated from jewish members and the elements. in fulfillment of this theory which is dressed up as an ideologies an orgy of racial hatred has been instituted. together with a process whereby jewish persons are subjected to a total and systematic disqualification. the entire party machine, the press, vocational training, broadcasting, official propaganda, the political education of the young, the whole of national life all have been harvested to the task of stripping jews of their good name and social acceptability regardless of personal standing. they are being ousted from their homes and livelihoods and compelled to emigrate this the jeep of means. belief in their human inferiority is being duly incorporated in the

but they kept it all secret so that we didn't know they had this extra deterrent against the first reich. similar to the cuban missile crisis were they installed nuclear missiles in cuba presumably to deter american invasion of cuba yet they did tell us about it. maybe you can continue. >> well, you're right. "the dead hand" was retaliatory system that soviet leaders devised and i actually at one point thought about a completely automated retaliatory system and i think they got worried that would be too frightening for them so they developed a semi-automatic system which involved in this deep underground bunker in the shape of the globe and several men with a checklist and under certain circumstances lost communication with authority, seismic evidence of a first-rate they would launch small command rockets which would be used to launch all the weapons. i describe this in a chapter in the book but the key point dimension which we puzzled over including the man who worked on the system and describes in the book is why did they keep it secret because of it was intended as a deterrent it wou

>> on the spending side, the big issue, as professor reich has said, are social security and medicare. they're going to get to be bigger and bigger. what we need to do is to stop financing those 100% by taxes. what we need to do is to move to a mixed system in which we combine some tax finance in order to give it that kind of stability with an investment based bar. if we do that, then we don't have to raise taxes in the same way. i think hast the direction that we should be going. >> let's leave it there. thanks to both of you for joining us. cnbc's special coverage of taxing america continues on "power lunch." one-half a bipartisan team on its tax reform bill. on "the closing bell," are closing corporate tax loopholes bad for america? that's all coming up. >>> when we come back, some on wall street say the fed's boring predictability is to blame for asset bubbles. >> cowboy monitorism. >>> plus, on "the call," planning on taking flights soon? you'll want to see the latest airline quality ratings before you do. we'll have the surprising numbers. >>> welcome back. let's get you caught

. >> well, robert reich, bill clinton's secretary of labor, says it's a bailout fund.ardless of how the money is proud, it is a bailout fund that sort of guarantees in perpetuity that we'll be intervening once again to bail out these big firms. >> that's absolutely not true and some of his members say it was a bit over the top. i have spent a lot of time with the republicans over the last several weeks and i believe that we are very close on this. that we agree on the vast bulk of the things necessary for too big to fail and that's one reason i'm so confident. >> of course one of the things that we found with health care reform was that we heard a lot of republicans, democrats saying well, we agree on a lot of things but in the end it's that final 10 or 20% that gets them. >> the republicans are saying start over. >> exactly. it all has an echo. >>> let me ask you about florida governor charlie crist. he started out with a huge lead in his race for the senate and is now trailing by something like 30 points. there is chatter that he drop out and run as an independent. h

reich" the activity involved, growing marijuana at home had no profit motive but it was the same activity as growing marijuana plantation typesetting interstate parks and selling it. the same was true in the wheat case, before you aggregate where general cordray is wrong, before you aggregate the impact it has to be an economic activity. not necessarily one of a profit motive, but an economic activity. and, again what he does, he reads out of existence "lopez" and "morrison" which is '95 5 and 2000 where the courts say there have to be meaningful limitations. >> woodruff: so clearly this comes down to case law, precedent, interpretation of the commerce clause. let me ask you both quickly about the other argument you make, david rifkin, and that is it's unconstitutional to require states to set up these insurance exchanges for people who don't have insurance. can you briefly explain to us why? >> there's a whole line of cases that is basically rooted in the 10th amendment that talks about states, again, retaining viable independent authority. it's called "new york v. united states." the ca

meanwhile, as the economist robert reich recently reminded us, in the 1950s and '60s, the c.e.o.s of major american companies took home about 25 to 30 times the wages of the typical worker. by 1980 the big company c.e.o. took home roughly 40 times the worker's wage. by 1990, it was 100 times. and by 2007, executives at the largest american companies received about 350 times the pay of the average employee. in many of the top corporations, the chief executive earns more every day than the average worker gets paid in a year. and then there's the financial world. case in point: ken lewis, who at the end of 2009 retired as c.e.o. of bank of america. only recently did we learn that, not long after his company received $45 billion in taxpayer dollars from the big bailout, lewis raked in more than $73 million in pension benefits and stock, and was given an insurance policy worth $10 million to his beneficiaries. but compared to some people, ken lewis is a piker. hedge fund managers, who bet that taxpayers-- you-- would pay to keep the banks from collapsing, hit the jackpot. last year, one o

american troops put an end to the holocost liberating the juice from the clutches of hitler's third reichek with a special meeting with general petraeus. here is the story. ♪ >> it is april, 1945, hitler and the nazis are furiously trying to carry out their final solution. once and for all, to exterminate the jews. but patton's army is on the way and soon americans will put an end to the killing, liberating nazi concentration camps. 65 years later in what could be one of the last times so many of them are together, 120 american heroes gather as part of a week-long holocaust rememberance. they were the first to witness the horrors of nazi germany, meeting with general petraeus and a chance to share stories they will never forget. >> i never thought human beings could be treated that way, not an each an animal, nevertheless a human being. we were instructed by officers not to feed them anything because they might die the next morning but could not refuse food from a starving person. >> coming upon 91 tphas see soldiers trying to flee, he took them prisoners. >> i knew he and his buddy had d

reich, mr. polakoff. it went to the fdic because it committed to consider their comments in an effort to minimize their letter writing and posturing. fdic's posturing. this is e-mail traffic between your people. does that bother you if the that's the case, that there's this feeling that exists here, there's a rejection of access to files, to doing an examination with the fdic sitting next to it, that memorandum of understanding which is shared with the fdic that the fdic is viewed as being a posturer and that's why it was sent, to try and avoid that posturing? is that kind offing? that folks in your agency feels about the fdic? does it trouble you and how do you cure it? >> well, i'm not sure what other people within the agency think about the fdic, i know what i think -- >> no, but your people. this is the expression. >> right. >> does it trouble you, is my point. >> i have two responses. to the extent that an employee of the ots, and i say that as the acting directer, uses that kind of language in an e-
