the morgan, rockefeller,

senator rockefeller didn't call him a racist. he said he thinks race is a factor in the opposition to anything the president wants to do including the affordable care act. i think that's true and it's certainly something that should be up for discussion. but it gets shut down if it becomes about something that rockefeller didn't do which is you called me a racist. he didn't do that. >> how about you? what did you see? >> well, i thought that we probably would all be better off if it wasn't implied by any senator that another senator was racist, because they didn't support a particular piece of legislation. you know, clearly, we have had instances of racism in our country, even in the recent weeks. and certainly in the senate, there have been folks who have had ugly episodes with race. and senator rockefeller, i'm sure, has seen it up close because his former colleague, the former democratic senator from west virginia, now deceased, the senate majority leader, robert bird was a past member of the kkk. so i know that he may have kn

the rockefeller then ran what was city bank in the late 50s and early 60s. so these lines -- >> host: >> guest: sometimes money where they were connected. >> host: i guess when you combine all of them, blood, money, power committee on -- >> guest: game of thrones. it ends up in an incredibl incre book. let's go back towards the beginning of the book. set the scene for us please. we go off the coast of georgia to a place called jekyll island. what happened and who was involved, what came out of it and were the motivations of the people in your opinion, would each really pure and sincere? >> guest: what happened was in november of 1910 there was a meeting that was called by senator nelson aldrich. aldrich is were also very famous and powerful political families that integrated into being a political financial family. and they'll send aldrich as the finance chairman was tasked with trying to create a central bank that would appease the public as well as pass politically in washington. and the reason for that was there have been a panic -- a major banking panic

david rockefeller was part of a long history of estoril financial strength. in fact, he dated kathleen kennedy for a minute. the thais commend these connections who went through a series of social event that people would be involved in. >> host: was not the social and individuals, but the strength of the families as well and has family ties, the morgans, rockefellers, kennedys. >> host: james roosevelt and jpmorgan can be immensely famous and powerful jpmorgan created together among a few other established families at the metropolitan club in new york, which was an exclusive club where these men could get together and talk about affairs of the day and decide to a small group. >> host: it is royalty almost. >> guest: it really was. today they are used for drawing up the hierarchy in terms of industry and banking today. the heir to the throne of jpmorgan chase. even the terminology has that same to it and certainly back in the beginning erratic at portion of it there's only three or four families that were most instrumental in running the top three financial in

rockefeller who is white and talk about it in a blunt way.e it, some of my constituents believe barack obama is the wrong color. does that land differently than if an african-american said the wrong thing? >> absolutely. rockefeller has been such a stalwart of the senate for so long. for him to say that, i think it was courageous. he'll get some backlash. since he's not running for re-election, he doesn't have that kind of concern. it's an important thing to put on the table. give him credit for putting it on the table. >> interesting that this is happening at a time when south is becoming -- white, southern voters are becoming as solidly with the republican party as african-americans with the democratic party. does that start to make people question that dynamic or are we headed for this polarization that isn't going to end? >> i would imagine someone like rockefeller put it out in the context of trying to break down some of that and let's have a conversation about that. it was clearly in a very thoughtful way that he said it. i don't know t

david rockefeller, who was part of a long history of industrial, financial family strengths, was also there. in fact he somewhat dated kathleen kennedy for a minute back at the time. and so the ties, these connections, were -- went through all sorts of social and events that people wouldn't be involved in. >> host: not just the social and the individuals but as you're just alluding to, the strength of the families as well. and those family ties that run deep. the morgan, rockefeller, kennedys. >> guest: the roosevelts, james roosevelt, fdr's father, and jp morgan, the famous and powerful jp morgan,crafted together among a few other established families, the metropolitan club in new york, very exclusive club where these men could get together and talk about affairs of the day and decide things, in a very small, tight environment. >> host: borders on royalty almost. >> guest: it really was. when you think about it, even the terms today that are used for ascension, the throne, the hierarchy. terms used i after the panic and after jp morgan got friends together to decide which banks or tr

senator rockefeller believes that.e-mail and my snail mail and see some of the stuff i get, you would agree. now, does that mean that -- is that calling ron johnson is racist? it's not calling him a racist. that's making an observation about in general some of the opposition and he did say some of the opposition. does johnson perhaps have a right to take offense because he was the only republican in the room? i think he probably does. because in that context i can understand why he would feel personally attacked. but i think that what senator rockefeller said, if you just take it word for word, is objectively true. >> you don't have to look at my snail mail. and you don't have to look at my e-mail to see invective and hatred spewed at me. just look at my twitter feed. i mean, we all confront that. but to suggest -- >> but it's not all -- it's not all -- i'm talking about crude racial caricatures and insults and sometimes some really vile stuff. and then sometimes some stuff that's not, that you wouldn't call vile but t

he was the great uncle of nelson rockefeller, four-time new york governor, vice president and david rockefellerwho ran chase also for two decades. so anyway, winthrop aldridge a couple generations before that was friends with fdr, and he was actually concerned about the speculation that had driven the market apart. he was concerned about the economy and confidence in general in banking as was fdr. in his first inaugural address he talked about stabilizing the system because he believed, fdr believed because he had grown up in wealth that a system that was more stable for everybody would lift america in general. and, actually, winthrop aldridge believed the same thing which is ironic because jamie dimon would never get up and say, hey, gee, i'm going to split up my bank, that would be a really good idea because everybody would be more stable. but then it actually did. and aldridge put out a front-page piece in "the new york times" to push glass-steagall that separated speculative activities there all these deposits and a fdic insured by the government. and he promoted it. and he actually was goi

did you hear what senator jay rockefeller said about politicians who disagree with obamacare? i will be able to dig um some emails that make part of the affordable care act that doesn't look good, especially from people who have made up their mind that they don't want it to work. because they don't like the president. maybe he is the wrong color, something of that sort. >> well, we all say stupid insensitive statements once in a while. i hope congressman clyburn and senator rockefeller, take a deep breath, think about what they said retract and apologize. that's the decent and right things to do. politicians don't always agree and strong debate is good for the country, but pouring gasoline on a fire with false accusations of racism is terrible for our nation. and that's my off-the-record comment tonight. and new developments in the case of a tv cop arrested for the very real murder of his wife. really... so our business can be on at&t's network for $175 dollars a month? yup. all five of you for $175. our clients need a lot of attention. there's unlimited talk and text. we're w

against the rockefeller wing of the party.ockefeller was vice president in 1976, ran against the ford wing, the nixon wing of the party. he said we need new leadership, leadership unfettered by old ties and told relationships. and old relationships. the tea party is unfettered by old ties and old relationships. and so i think if we welcome the tea party in with these other groups that reagan, you know, launched us on in the lathe '70s, early '80s, we've got a very, very strong and winning coalition. the kind of part of what i just said there was kind of a criticism of some of the republican conservative leaders, and i think that too many conservative leaders -- not those in this room here, of course, but too many of our friends became an arm, they became an appendage of the republican party. and they lost their independence. as conservatives, we need more organizations, more money, more candidates, more publications. but the number one thing that we need in my opinion above everything else is new leadership. and leadership tha
