gentlemen, peter, just a quickie on warren buffett. he kind of pulled back a little bit on the stock market. now i know you have pulled back a little bit on the stock market. now stocks were up today about 60 or 70 points. what's your fake? are you in line with mr. buffett? >> well, larry, it's a shock, when buffett goes bearish. you go back and look over the ten years and he doesn't say a lot of things like that so that's kind of scary to me. myself, i see the market in a sideways pattern. the trend is either up, down or sideways. when it's sideways that means that market participants are unsure whether we're going to have a recovery and i think the data reflects that. the big question is whether or not the consumer can step in and start buying the stuff off the shelves that businesses are putting on and inventory. and then with the dollar going up, we have to worry about exports going down because that's been fueling us. and, the big thing and we know this, this whole uncertainty that the obama administration is casting. it's just ov

but warren buffett said "the tide went out and everyone was standing there naked."ie was the only one wearing a bathing suit. >> rose: when jamie dimon began to be a central figure, what stories that you found the most interesting about how j.p. morgan responded to the crisis. >> well, one of the most interesting was the sort of connecting the dots thing. when you look at senior management of these giant companies that don't actually have operating responsibilities, like they don't go to work and, you know, look over a particular line of business, they're just supposed to strategize and sort of see the big picture, he actually took a bunch of data points from different parts of their business, their mortgage business was seeing some weakening, their credit card was seeing some weakening, their securitization was seeing some weakening. and if you actually connect all these you had a picture that was like, okay, wait a second, we need to dial this back a little. apparently goldman sachs seemed to have seen some of the same things, but not a lot of the other bankers sa

warren buffett is warned about derivatives about the top investors why didn't you do this trade? bill gross, he's the king out in california. he said derivatives aren't really what i do. yeah, i could to it, greg, but my investors don't want me to do some much of it. a lot of investors are not fond of the credit default swap. it helped lead to the fall of aig. there's a reason to be weary. john paulson learned about them and palo as well. the thing about credit default they cost money. they are like a credit insurance. yet 2340 one else is behind. they were dirt cheap in 2005. here he is the merger arb, he has vague worries about the housing. palo said about the credit default swap. the downside is 7% and the upside is 100 of percent a year. why isn't everybody doing the trade. i kept asking that question. unfortunately one the whereins is negative carry. negative carry is sort of complicated. but basically just means you are paying out. at the beginning of the year, everyone starts fresh and everyone is focused on themselves and on their competitors. to pay out by the insurance,

all of this driven by hollywood and the fatta inouye warren beatty movie was the first. they are long fascinated artists. your book kind of brings them down a that. how did you deal with that? >> i don't know if it brings them down. one of the mistakes i think a lot of a snake when we are writing history is we tend to try to apply modern perceptions and modern believe to a time that has been entirely different and so writing about bonnie and clyde i tried to keep in mind that i wanted readers to have context to be. you don't just write what people did. if you did that you have written a textbook. what you try to help the readers understand is how they did things and why they did things. and to do that you have to try to understand the time and the place. is the modern-day bonnie and clyde fans that believed they look like warren beatty and faye dunaway the fact remains bonnie and clyde deemed their initial notoriety in america. they were really the first electronic media icons because with wire services those goofy pictures they posed for could be in newspapers all over

and yes, the more modern-day bonnie and clyde barrel gain fans believed they look like warren beattyte but the fact remains that bonnie and clyde gain their initial notoriety in america. they were really the first electronic media icons. because with wire services, those goofy pictures they post were, could be in newspapers all over the country. so what you really have to do to understand their initial appeal is they were the late 1920s early 1930s ancestors of branch alina.

warren buffett is worried about derivatives, weapons of mass destruction one. i talked to them about why this. bill groce is the bond king in california and he said that derivatives are well-to-do. i could do with the my investors saw mommy to do so much of it and is true of what are wary of credit defaults swaps uranus derivatives investments and eventually helped lead to the downfall of aig so as a reason potentially to be wary of them. john paulson threw himself into learning about them and the ins and outs and paolo as well. the thing about credit defaults what is the cost money. they are like an insurance contracts and labor chief of 2005 they were dirty. and yet no one else was behind them very much. john paulson came from this other world, he has made worries about housing and paolo tells him about this and he says wait a second, my downside is 7% and my upside is hundreds of persons a year, that's how the work of the train. why isn't everybody doing this training? i kept asking and unfortunately the reason is -- caring. it is sort of complicated but bas

warren buffet has written an op-ed piece. god bless him. i like warren buffet. i have known him for some years. one of the world's richest men. one of the world's richest people. and they did a little survey in his office in omaha, nebraska, and of the people who work in that office of warren buffet's, if you take a look at the taxes paid, income taxes and payroll taxes, the lowest tax rate paid in that office was by one of the world's richest people, warren buffet. and a higher tax rate is paid by his receptionist than is paid by him. now, think of that. perhaps -- and, by the way, warren buffet is the first to say, that's not fair, that's not right. you need to straighten that out. under what we're going to vote on under the sessions-mccaskill amendment, that would be trouble if you decided to ask those folks to pay their fair share. not a tax increase to ask others to pay what most of the american people pay. if you want all the benefits america has to offer, how about meeting the responsibilities to your country? so, that's a lengthy way of saying, senator p

Ñi>> -- >> do you think what he -- do you think he is saying what the republicans are saying? >> i think mr. buffett -- i don't think he would evaluate the proposal the house republicans put forward and think -- i don't think it scratches the surface on dealing with virtually every issue, including costs. ñrÑiit does virtually nothing on costs, does nothing on coverage, it leaves regulation up to insurance companies. if the choice is between the senate bill and nothing, he supports the senate bill. >> the president is not persuaded by his suggestion? >> what has animated his actions from the beginning is dealing with cost. i do not think the last word on health care will always be just be the legislation moving for

people have more confidence warren buffett will pay them back than the united states. that's a pretty serious sign when the united states is supposed to be the best creditor in the world. and yet what this bill does at its core on fiscal policy is to radically expand the size of government, and we all know it won't be paid for, and so we all know that it will significantly, probably radically expand the debt that our children are going to bear. we are inevitably not going to pass on to our children a healthier country fiscally, we're going to pass on to our children a sicker country fiscally. and are we going to get better health care for it? i seriously doubt it. i think we're hale from dr. barrasso about how he sees this affecting -- we'll hear from dr. barrasso about how he sees this affecting our health care and others who have expertise in this area. because when you have these government programs which essentially amount to quite eye nationalization of different areas of our economy, you end up with less quality. it's unhairnt in havin un-- inhe government run th

[laughter] now briefly, "a kingdom strange" is about one of the enduring mysteries of american history. in 1587 john white and hundred 17 men, women and children landed off the coast of north carolina on roanoke island hoping to

its leadership in allowing us to have the development leadership initiative and rebuild the actual warren service corps which you are right to point out has been decimated over the past 15 years. we think we have a strong position. we have more than 4000 servers nationals that represent people with ph.d.'s and medical degrees and are entirely capable leaders that any other private company would think of is a tremendous as a tremendous core asset for a more globally impacted world. we need to rebuild our foreign service. we are doing at the midcareer technical level and do the dli. >> if i may interrupt you, count me as an ally in that effort. believe development agency as far as i'm concerned as has to be usaid not the state department. you are the hands-on guys, you are the people with experience and you just enumerated that in that is what we have to work with. in my 49 seconds left one thing i want to put in your cab usaid does provide funding to andy i do various bigots. one of the concerns i have had about their work is the modernization works from the bottom up and not the top down.

warren buffett called for penalties for ceos whose risky investments ran their companies in trouble. gas rose 6 cents in a week to 2.70 a gallon. and shutter island won the weekend box office again. i'm russ mitchell, cbs news. hey can i play with the toys ? sure, but let me get a little information first. for broccoli, say one. for toys, say two. toys ! the system can't process your response at this time. what ? please call back between 8 and 5 central standard time. he's in control. goodbye. even kids know it's wrong to give someone the run around. at ally bank you never have to deal with an endless automated system. you can talk to a real person 24/7. it's just the right thing to do. but we've got the ammunition she needs: omnaris.

is going to do for consumers and then you get people going on national television like elizabeth warren saying that some of the credit card reforms have been thwarted. so people want more accountability and they don't care how it's done, but they want more clarity. >> speaking of accountability, bill, is this a matter of just enforcing the rules that we have on the book? that's one of the arguments that's out there that we already have a lot of rules and regulation, was there just nobody enforcing them. >> i think there are a number of issues here, but the banks actually have very strong enforcement on them and it was the non-banks where we failed this last time around, largely. there were some problems in the banking industry and for the most part they're subject to very, very strong enforcement and the agencies have enormous moral a situation over the banks. they have thousands of examiners. it's the non-banks that we're not even addressing this legislation in a meaningful way which already have incredibly strong enforcement. they are not allowed to branch until they get it straight.

here with me to dissect it all we have warren myers and also matthew, good to see you guys. is this a dollar play or people saying i don't want to be in the bond market right now? >> i think it's a little combination of both. the dollar is showing a little weakness today and you tend to getilatal pop in the markets on that and i think we've seen that switch over the last couple days in the bond market of people getting out of some of their bond positions and where else are you going to go? you'll funnel some of that money back into the money market. >> are people feeling better about the european situation right now? >> i think we're getting some clarity. i don't think it matters what the dollar has been doing. the dollar showing serious strength over the last couple days and we still had a market rise with the exception of wednesday. i don't think it's so much the dollar, but clarity we're seeing in europe. >> i have to throw one out here to my good friend larry kudlow because he's very concerned that the dollar continue its momentum and that it gets stronger and that, in t

[ female announcer ] 28 delicious flavors at around 100 calories each. yoplait, it is so good. indulge in new blueberry pie and new red velvet cake. yoplait light. it is so good. >>> what's in here? giving it back. can i sit on top? >> that's how we do it. we don't sit on the chair. we sit in the back, just like that. up top. >> gangster, larry. now you official. don't bounce too much. larry ain't holding on. >> you the man. >> larry: back with our remaining moments with snoop dogg and we're joined by his son korde. is this the oldest boy? >> yeah. >> larry: how are you? >> 15. >> larry: you're tall for a 15. >> about to turn 16 in may wlarl do you think of your father? truth. >> he's cool, and -- >> larry: is he weird? >> yes. >> larry: what was he like as a father growing up? >> he was a good father, and -- >> larry: you don't sound to

warren wanted the public to be able to read it, not filter it with experts. are you going to write it for your colleagues? are you going to explain the dissents? are you going to footnote the debate? ask the nominee but the latest book she read was. that would tell them something. what is your interest? what did she think? something that would start giving a better sense of how a nominee would approach the important job. asking them how they are going to rule on a hot-button issue of the day makes no sense. it is counterproductive. you go back and look at the theories of the judges who participated in a row versus wade, and you will not see any questions about abortion. whenever hot-button issue is going to appear in 10 or 15 years -- the senators do not know. the judges do not know. it is a backward-looking process. i think the process is not very fruitful. i think the only people who could change it are the senators to run it. i hope they do. >> thank you for coming to alabama. since you have argued many cases before the supreme court, could you comment on

> moyers: when you were here in 2007, three years ago, before the big crash, we talked about what warren buffett would ultimately call financial weapons of mass destruction. credit default swaps, other complex derivatives. what's been done to disarm those threats? >> nothing. very little. as you know, credit default swaps were central to the failure of a.i.g., central to the now $180 billion taxpayer backstop of that insurance company. this was a company that essentially sold insurance policies to banks that if mortgages, mortgage securities failed, they would have to pay. a.i.g. received premiums from those banks, very small premiums. and were essentially betting that the mortgages would not fail. well, that was the wrong bet to make, as we now know. and then the taxpayer had to step in and unwind all of those very complex transactions. you would think that after that incident-- and who knows where we're going to end up with a.i.g.-- what the total bill will be for the taxpayer. you would think that people might want to say, "hey, wait a minute, let's make it... let's make sure that tha

financed the secret warren laos, through longstribes man, who have been in a secret army and speck references to karzai as the brother of hamid karzai, "the new york times" did a big expose showing how he's the major drug trafficker in afghanistan today. and, now in terms of the drug war in asia, my argument is that that is a precedent for subsequent policies. part of the failure of that policy was because the u.s. continued to support regimes of the historian mccoy termed regimes of total corruption. and the other problem was predicated on a similar fact of shaping the overriding failure of u.s. foreign policy, namely, the inability to win the hearts and minds of the population. the state department and federal enforcement agencies face grave difficulties adapting to local circumstances, and convincing the native population to stop profiting from the drug trade, in a depressed war time economy and a yao chief and a cia asset told an american reporter, quote the protestant ethic of american society sees as corrupt others see as fair game and it is hard for my people to understand why they sho
