adam smith wrote at a time when shame was a economic behavior. transactions often occurred for parties to reputation of capital. that was their most important asset. that was then, this is now. we cannot waive our copies of "the wealth of nations" in except -- and expect that to have an effect. he could rely on markets of the sort that we no longer have. nor can we rely on the religious supply which was one thing being tossed around a while ago. goldman sacks argues he is doing god's work which is the first merger of god and man. those of us that admire adam smith and others should feel comfortable and relying on something more down-to-earth than the religious revival. i would like to call it creating a neo-orthodoxy. a new capitalism rooted in old verities adapted to now. it is absolutely imperative that we take that at a time when capitalism is under such severe attack and strain as was mentioned when its very legitimacy is under attack. that is not to say that i'm insensitive to milton friedman's warning that the bulk of the community automati

the strange thing, wrote general smith, was the lack of emotion that was shown when the surrender was signed. the germans were military correct in their stone-like expressions, but i do not remember that any of the allied officers around the table displayed any emotion or elation. it was a moment simply of l solemn gratitude. and while this surrender ceremony was taking place, eisenhower was pacing back and forth in his office like a caged lion. his driver and confidante, kay summersby, described the atmosphere as electric with impatience. of a wards, the german delegation was summoned to the supreme commander's office, where his chief intelligence officer, general kenneth strong, acting as his escort and his interpreter, for eisenhower, who stood rigidly behind his desk, looking more military than i think anyone had ever seen him before, and this was a different eisenhower. it was cold, he was brittle. he said very curtly to the two germans, do you understand the terms of the documents of surrender that you have just signed? and they reply, yeah, yeah, they did. and ike declared that

adam smith's invisible hand. in fact, we those the unintended continues sequences. not all unintended consequences are undesirable. i don't think we have to fear them so long as we have modest goals. if we are a little wrong, we can fix it as we go along. he pointed out it's a utopian fantasy to think we can eliminate all of capitalisms court. i just think, i don't know, i don't worry as much as unintended consequences as other people do. i was encouraged in this in a conversation that i had with irving some time ago in which he said he read an essay by robert in which the con september of unintended consequences was tribed. and he said here i was planning to change the world and i realized i could not know the consequences of the changes i was suggesting. and then i said yeah, but you went on to change the world and to found the public interest. so you weren't paralyzed by the fear of unintended consequences. they were out there. you know about them. had he decided to stand before history yelling unintended consequences we wouldn't have had the public interest. i t

at this museum and throughout the smith soneyan we are in the forever business. americans trust us with their family heir looms and prized possessions. even the stars spangled banner, the flag that inspired our national anthem, belonged to a baltimore family for almost a century before it was given to the smithsonian. and now, we're very grateful that administration obama is entrusting us with this wonderful gown, the gown she wore at the inaugural balls last year. i'm sure that this dress has many memories for you. and now it will become part of our country's collective memory, for it goes into one of our best known and popular exhibitions and collections at the smith sonian institution. and it will become part of the personal memory for millions of visitors who come here every year. over the years, our first ladies' collection has evolved in response to the changing role of women in american society and also the changing role of the first lady. and i'm pleased to announce that, thanks to a generous gift from the eliz bitsdz carol lynn lux foundation, the museum

without further ado, but the past four to lee smith -- let me pass the floor to lee smith. >> thank you to my friends who i see in the audience, some of whom i thanked and the book but will thank you again. to some of my american friends like andrew, mad and samantha ravitch. i also want to thank my colleagues at hudson, the board scholars and staff and especially today's moderator, hudson ceo kenneth weinstein. thanks for your support and advice, thanks for your loyalty and friendship and especially great and good humor. i'm also greatly indebted to my two fellow panelists this afternoon and not just for agreeing to participate to make this an interesting event but has a slightly honor and privilege to share with assistant secretary feltman and abrams not just because their efforts in the middle east have played such a single rule of american policy over the last nine years and also in my thinking about the region. it was a -- as i read in the book it was a great time to be an american in the region. it was a privilege to be represented by u.s. government that had taken the side of fre

smith, what about you? >> i would say one of my -- my first president -- go to plymouth notch, vermont. plymouth notch is a little town. there are six homes there now. there were six homes there in july 1872 when calvin coolidge was born there. the whole village is a museum. thank god, apparently through the coolidge family, it's been preserved. it's a wonderful way to step back in time and experience a very different america. you know, coolidge is a much more interesting character than he has often been portrayed and in fact one of the interesting things is i think post-reagan we're rediscovering the fact that there is an alternative to the new deal model of the presidency. >> you're a boston native, harvard graduate. >> nearby -- nearby boston. >> leominster? >> no, townsend, little town. >> oh, excuse me. >> four thousand people. >> harvard graduate, undergraduate degree, no doctorate degree. >> absolutely. >> and ph.d. from georgetown. >> yes. >> born in atlanta but grew up in ohio. >> grew up in rural

joel d smith is live where current governor is launching his campaign. >> reporter: this is the spot where current governor martin o'malley is going to relaunch his campaign. it starts with a special tour called moving maryland forward visiting three major cities, columbia, and glen burnie to name a few. this comes on the heels of the poll that shows that things have very close, maybe a virtual dead heat as the rasmussen. this comes as recently poll, that was done in february, that one had a 6 point spread. right now it's half of that and within the margin of error of a dead heat. back then the marginner o margir was 6 points. it was because ehrlich was officially entered the race before it was suspected that he would. this race will remain close all the way through november whether the candidates like it or not. >> i'm hoping very much that this doesn't turn into a personal bashing campaign, you know, i did better than you as governor. >> people don't want that and if governor o'malley and governor ehrlich shook hands and said we are not going to do anything, it still will be dirty

steven smith, were you surprised at the whole story today? >> not necessarily, i mean tiger woods, i consider to be the best in the world, the best i have ever seen, and the fact is he had some time off and regardless of being in the sex addiction clinic, whatever he wants to call himself being, he had plenty of time to work on his game, to practice just a little bit. i'm quite sure that he got on that golf course a little bit and worked on his game. he' focused, he knows what it takes because he's won before and he's a born winner. this is his sanctuary and he stepped up and performed, i'm not surprised at all. >> larry: john, did it surprise you. >> no, he's the greatest golfer of all time. i called on tying tore make my sticks today, literally i'm going to learn how to play golf because i was so into what tiger woods was doing. how can you say michael jordan was the great e of all time? it's not about how much championships or how many titles. he's the great e player of all time. yes, he's the greatest player of all time. what he did today

i'm emily smith in for michelle gielan. rescue crews searched, but still no sign of those 11 missing oil rig workers. two empty lifeboats were recovered. the oil rig itself has gone under creating a potential for a major oil spill and sparking fears of environmental catastrophe. terrell brown has our report. >> reporter: more explosions rocked the deepwater horizon oil rig. after burning for 36 hours, it sunk. rescue teams in the gulf of mexico are still focused on locating the 11 missing workers, even though hope for their survival has faded. >> based upon reports from our crew members we met as they came in last night, at the time of the incident, they believe that they may have been on board the rig and not able to evacuate. >> reporter: crews 50 miles off the coast of louisiana are also dealing with a growing environmental concern. the rig was carrying 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel and could spill as much as 8,000 barrels of crude a day. >> i think it certainly has the potential to be a major spill. >> reporter: the co

fred smith took over the postal service it would be profitable.ck is going higher over time. >> hard to argue with this one. >> it is, even though i love to argue with gary. this is a cyclical company that does really well when the consumer economy rebounds, which it's about to do. it's a smart buy. it's appreciated a lot in the last year, over-appreciated the dow. be careful of that. >> are you waiting for a pull-back? >> no, no, no. i like the company. i don't think you can go wrong but i don't think it's going gangbusters from here but i think it will continue to rise. >> it's okay to agree with me.

let's get another call. >> i have a question for steven smith. says men after they get married, get bored with their sex lives. whose fault is that. the implication is always the women more than the husbands. but the men, couldn't they be looked at in not probing their own sex lives further? >> well allow me to be very very clear, if the man's not getting the job done, that's his problem. but we're talking about a man stepping out on his wife. if you're not getting the job done at home, kwhoonss are you're not going to get the job done too many other places. the reality is,when women want to bring up that particular question, what you're doing is pointing out the transgressions of a man, you have to ask yourself why that man is trans guessing. if he were happy at home, perhaps that would not be the case. you have a lot of men out here with some serious problems. but a lot of men far often than not are very, very unhappy, and that does not get publicized enough. >> and we thank -- dr. pinsky will remain. when we come back, two prominent divorce at

bulls and beers this week, jerry b smith, tobin smith, pat dorsey along with fox business network's brian sullivan and mark levin. welcome everybody. toby, is this a job killer? >> of course it's a job killer, unintended consequences are starting now. for instance, if you're a dentist or a furniture store and want to extend credit, if it's more than four payments, it comes under the tent of bureaucracy. if you don't lend as much and you don't have as many employees. it's not rocket science, when you overregulate you underemploy. >> actually, mark, you like this, huh. like it a lot. all this does is allows consumers know the truth. they want them to think they're paying a hundred bucks, but then after four years and 23%, lo and behold they're paying $400. the only people who lose jobs are people trying to scam consumers, i don't care if they lose their job, they've already lost their souls. >> brenda: there's going to be some job creation in washington d.c. >> bureaucracy, if you want to get into real estate do it in the washington metropolitan area and jobs are going to come. i agree with

smith.guest: well, there is the notion that i mean more often on a national level it is president bush than governor perry should be blamed for the continuing recession or the recently ended recession, depending on who you ask. obviously it makes a lot of sense but people don't, for whatever reason in the polling right now and just sort of public opinion, the blame has shifted to the incumbent president and to obama. so, i think any continued economic troubles will be -- he's going to take the blame for it. any improvement he will own and get credit for. it is always the sort of strangeness of presidencies that the economy which they have only marginal control over basically determines their success or failure but i think that is happening here. host: ben smith, in "new york times" a story about mitt romney on a book tour and talks about his efforts in massachusetts on passing healthcare and his criticism of the president's current version of healthcare and what parallels can be made. what w
