he came from monticello and i came from a town 12 miles from theirre.ad a relationship going back quite some time. i recommended him for the job at aig. i think you did an outstanding job given the circumstances he inherited. he was a fighter. you saw that in his struggles against cancer. an outstanding individual. i will miss him as a friend very deeply. >> one of the descriptions of mr. benmosche was that he could at times be combative. is that what the company needed at that time? >> i would not say that he was combative. everybody in that row had to be combative from time to time. i think what you believe is right. he was a fighter. if he had a fight, he would fight. >> what did he do immediately when he became the ceo to give the staff at aig a sense of confidence that things would be turned around under his watch? did we lose mr. greenberg? i believe we did. mr. benmosche, dead today at the edge of 70. he died here in new york after a long battle with lung cancer. we will take a quick break.

are they in theirre giving the kind of guidance provided?r if what we really need to see in professional sports is more diversity at the ownership rank. there are very few black or brown owners in any of the three major professional sports. in the nba, there is one. baseball barely any. do we need to have a change at that level? >> this is kind of a rehash of a book i did 20 years ago. let me see where we are now. that would be great. when donald sterling bought his franchise, $20.5 million, it's different now. it is the economics of colored people this time that make it difficult for that transition to take place. it would be great, but it is very difficult to figure out how to make happen. >> from a business perspective, is there something wrong or functioning poorly in terms of how the nfl and these individual teams are operating as businesses? when we think about most publicly traded companies we think about them being answerable to the stock market and consumers. are sports just fitting into the normal business model or is there a failu

they were all in theirre.ent support under new european legislation looks like a thing of the past. john joins us to discuss this. how big a deal is this? in some ways this is theater, because there is legislation in place in europe, which says creditors are going to be hit first rather than taxpayers. this is not that shocking, is it? >> it's not shocking at all. the agency said in november they were going to look at these institutions. they were going to assess them for a downgrade. you have on one hand you have the cuts in certain circumstances. they are holding companies at large. those are banks in the u.k., which are structured in a certain way. they have holding companies such as credit suisse. you are structurally subordinated, which means you are in line for the chop first before the bondholders of the operating companies. for bond investors, this has implications. you pay more for the bond of an operating company than a holding company. we have seen with barclays and rbs a couple of aunts they have g

i don't know why we want to have another college professor in theirre, elizabeth warren. i cannot get over the fact that she said she was one 33rd cherokee indian and use that to get into her position, lying about being a minority. she is the whitest woman i've ever seen. but anyway, i was going to call about the pro-life rally. not much reported about that. "the washington times those quote had an interesting article. they were about 786,000 black babies aborted by black women meaning one out of every three black pregnancies is aborted. that is three quarters of a million over the last 40 years. we are talking 20 million blacks have been murdered. host: did they look at other racial or demographic roots in this reporting? caller: this particular article in the "washington times" weekly edition just talked about this and talked about that black lives don't matter. it really is true that blacklight still matter. and add to that that 79% of planned parenthood -- that black lives don't matter. and add to that the 79% of planned parenthood are in the black amenities. and you

there is a 16 person security detail theirre led by colonel wood. he said we ought to stay. the ambassador thinks we ought to stay. the cables become more frantic. the cables are sent home saying we think that we are at risk for an all-out assault. 9/11 comes. of course, the attacks had nothing to do with the anniversary, it was a film remember. august 16, he sends more cables home. the attack happens. the killing of the ambassador happens. we have hillary clinton and i asked her, did you read the cables? chicago brushed me off as if, -- she kind of brushed me off as if i'm too important to have read those cables. maybe you didn't read the cable asking for more glassware in bulgaria. but this was a cable saying we have a life and death problem here. and you didn't read the cables. i looked at her, and said to her, that by your actions, by your dereliction of duty, by not providing security for americans mission in benghazi, you have absolutely precluded yourself from ever being considered for higher office.

april has talked about how she's lonely in theirre bringing up this issue. over the radio network. that's important. >> let's be honest about the fact that this white house had not given the same amount of access. this white house is not given the same amount of access that previous white house said. and so what i'm saying by that is -- >> black press overall press. >> talking about black press. and i got an interview with the pres. so i'm not saying it has not happened. if you think about the fact that over the course of three years there have been, been, what, three interviews with the president's? -- like for us -- president has done with the black press? >> i don't think so. first of all, we all, we don't have that much. >> black media, black people robin robertson. >> i am talking about black press on tv. >> on tv. >> right. and that's not an indictment. to answer your question, i think that there have been fewer opportunities to have direct one on ones with the president to give enough journalists the chance to ask certain questions. folks like april are doing an amazing job

when you talk about d funding homeland security, i think you should have the money in theirre for jobs. but if you have no jobs and no training, it is a wasted effort. another thing i have a problem with is i'm wondering if boehner still wants netanyahu to come to speak to congress after netanyahu nuisance 2012 that those -- knew since 2012 that those people were not making bombs. we need to be leaving for the right, not wrong. that is our whole problem. we need to start worrying about our people. take care of these young people. when you've got minorities with 50% unemployment, that is where you've got unrest. you cannot put enough money in homeland security to deal with security enough when you've got all these people around here. we are the most powerful country in the world and the way we will only -- and the only way we will do with this is from within, not without. host: anthony there. we are discussing the funding debate playing at on capitol hill. we showed you the new majority leader mcconnell. before that, senate minority leader harry reid also took to the floor to talk about
