it is an mistake we have done with warren harding.e asked me -- i was a little hard on some of his friends who are historians on some of the false material they put out on warren harding. i turned arthur 180 degrees which was a wonderful undertaking because he had these fixed views of warren harding. the speech you are referring to was a really brave act. he went into the south. the audience was segregated. there was a wire fence between the white and black and warren harding spent most of that speech looking at the whites and telling them he just can't go forward in a democracy and call it a democracy and treat people on the other side of that fence the way you are doing so. it was a speech that was hated by the south but he still thought there were inroads even then law for the republicans in the south and the blacks were by and large thrilled with it. he had not done as much as they wanted but he had done a lot as president. blogger wilson, his predecessor, a serious racist had removed blacks from positions they had long been in in

>> i would go to you, warren. [laughter] >> i would ask you and take your advice. but i would ask myself the question which gets back to where you are going to go which is again which gets to the currency a little bit. i've spent a lot of time outside of this country and i've spent time. and believe me, every other major economy, china included, has many more significant challenges and problems than we do. they really do. the we are the richest, strongest economy in the world but we have to deal with a relatively few very important challenges and the biggest one is the fiscal crisis. and i shouldn't call it a crisis because it's not a crisis immediately. it is a challenge immediately. but one of the things i learned and one of the things i write about in this book is that it's very difficult to get government to act, to get congress to act and do anything that's a big and difficult and controversial unless there is an immediate crisis. we had an immediate crisis and we still haven't got the regulatory reform we need. and again that is something that is absolutely c

>> i got tempted to say a lot of things, warren. [laughter] but i resisted that temptation because one of the things that i am pleased about was that i was able to build enough relationships on both sides of the aisle that congress did enact before the system collapsed, and if it had collapsed, we would have easily had 25% unemployment in this country. it would have been a terrible situation and the book is very, to a large extent, the story of the collision of market forces and political forces. and the crisis came in many ways that the worst time with an election on the horizon, and so what i needed to do was to get action from congress and actually what we got with betty and franny-- fannie which was unlimited authority. i used use the word in specified it sounded better, but we needed those. but i had have to keep reminding people that i didn't design this thing it didn't create it. >> hank, you have relations with the chinese long before this and you used them to good effects during the crisis and i think you told me you had be

warren was referring to something in the book. i was not a model of maturity when i was a senior at dartmouth college and i had my first date with wendy. we where at the boston pops, and she wasn't very impressed when i made my program into a paper airplane and sailed it at arthur >> did you hit him? >> no, no. but she gave me another chance. >> did she go home early that night? >> yeah, yeah. she went home early that night. >> fortunately he got a second chance. tell us a little bit about-- he says in the book, i am a tough guy. at one point he said that that he was a wrestler in high school and all ivy at dartmouth as a tackle and so on but when the president asked him to be secretary of treasury, and hank's original reaction was not to do it but he decided to do it. he had one big worry and i think the crowd might be interested in knowing what makes a grown man crumpled. >> warren is talking about my mom. i am quite close to my mother. she is a strong mother. she is in engaged and interested in politics and policy and she was n

elizabeth warren used the term "affirmatively thoughtful." basically, the best organizations now, and i think someone in the audience has worked on this is that the best organizations search very broadly. they look for talents they would not have looked for before. they would not have found it. then, they think about how to adjust their performance and evaluation. we heard you had to go in and say you needed an evaluation. the best organizations are saying they need to have a very clear, transparent, non-biased metrics so we do not inadvertently choose a person in the network who looks like us. the whole thing from attracting, retaining, to promoting talent on behalf to have come as an art project as an organization, affirmative policies in place to challenge. i am very happy to say that many of the best organizations are doing that. there are a lot of best practices and a lot to be learned from that. business schools are learning from that and helping to create that knowledge. i will say for the individuals listening out there to pay attenti

when, first of all, earl warren announced that he was departing, clearly seeing earl warren not beingebody who trusted richard nixon, they'd had, they'd been at it politically for years -- >> host: both from california. >> guest: both from california. and so, and earl warren a very savvy guy politically and seeing it thinking that lyndon johnson could fill the chair while he was, you know, still there before nixon could win the election and get inaugurated. didn't happen. nixon passed the word through ehrlichman to bob griffin in the senate, pily buster. been a -- filibuster. been a lot of comment about the fact that there'd never been a filibuster by republicans of a supreme court nominee when there were threats of a filibuster during the bush years or some of the other times it's come up where it really starts with nixon and fortess. what johnson was going to do was put fortez in the chief justice chair, so he would be putting, in essence, two people on the court to, because of the way the chairs were shuffling. >> host: and this is 1968. >> guest: '68, right. during the height of t

. >> host: let me go back to something that you wrote about in your book on warren harding. you both grew up in marion, ohio, and you write about a speech given october 26, 1921, birmingham, alabama. >> guest: in woodrow wilson national park. >> host: and in the speech he said i was say if a black man is fit to vote, he should vote. i would say to a white man voting when he is unfit, he should be prohibited from voting. and he said unless our democracy is alive, you must stand for equality. this is 1921. >> guest: i had such fun doing the harding book because the harding has been so maligned as a president. he is typically considered up with of our worst presidents, and i had grown up in marion, ohio, his town, and my next door neighbor was the editor who would follow warren harding some years later as the editor of the marion star which was harding's creation. and had been the first editor of the paper. he introduced me and gave me my first harding book with harding becoming, if you will, my first president. my library has everything that's ever been written about harding -

warren buffett. they will tell you now that they are just like "on the tren -- "auto tred " magazine -- "auto trend" magazine. you should order these in your mind from the riskiest to the less risky. it is much more serious than that. they are a federalese sanctioned enterprise. -- a federally unsanctioned enterprise. how much they have to reserve against each asset is based on the rating. the rating is bestowed on that asset by moody's and standard and poor. it has a huge affect on the ability of institutions to hold the securities. a triple a rating is what the federal government has. it is what the u.s. treasury has. there were triple a ratings on piles of mortgage bonds. there were aaa ratings placed on hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. they did not just decline in value, then went to zero. the ratings ended up meaning nothing. >> if i had a mortgage -- the likes goldman sachs sales it to ikb. they think they are being really smart. >> all along, i am starting to not be able to pay at som

warren was chief justice. that gives you control. with associate justice you look for someone who can make a contribution beyond collegiality to moving the court intellectually. >> i look at big cases coming down the road. the ted olson case. the same-sex challenge to the prop 8 in california coming down the road. i commented on this friday night. the idea that someone could lead five judges and take anthony kennedy and have them join a liberal to centrist coalition and make a major ruling like that. which of the nominees do you think could do that? be a leader not just of four liberals but a leader of five judges? >> that's a very good question. i think diane wood. of the seventh circuit. >> tell us about her. how could she lead? >> she's breezingly bright. she's very, very smart. she's respected by judges on both sides of the political spectrum. and she does have that ability. i have to say even though kagan is not popular, she has proven that she's a significant leader. at harvard law school she combined a faractured faculty. with

brennan and warren.o, ar arianna, no democrat would nominate white or jack kennedy. >> the president has tried hard to make bipartisan decisions. the problem is liz cheney and giuliani and members of the peanut gallery think they're in a debating society, and whatever the president proposes, it's their job to oppose it no matter what. >> there was a cartoon that had "blank" is a fascist. "blank" is an anti-american, "blank" is a baby killer, we're just waiting for the nominee to fill in the blank. >> i don't think there's going to be a good fight. assuming someone is nominated who meets all of the qualifications. >> you think there will be a filibuster? >> if the republicans go to the mat again as they did on health care and oppose someone who's qualified, except for the discussion we had an election, the president qualifies someone who is not in the scalia mode -- >> they think it's working for them. >> in the short run it's working, in the long run they could be back in the desert for 41 years. >> anot

earl warren led that decision. earl warren was a republican governor, during the second world war and hardly a liberal. ike said he wished he hadn't picked it, but he did. i want to go back to the question about a leader coming from outside the bench. >> the characteristics the president mention there are i can't imagine any president wouldn't say the same thing. that's the 20,000 foot level of the qualifications that you want. he said the same thing before he chose sonia soder mier. if we look at the people someone who had inspiring personal story. family came from here from puerto rico and grew up and any of the nominees you have here don't have that compelling story. >> thank you, pete williams. >>> amy, member of the united states senate and member of the judiciary committee and represents the state of minnesota. great to have you on and i have to start with this question. do you believe the politics right now the president has a free hand. he named a woman from a hispanic background and in many ways that meets

today he is the warren buffett of short sellers. at the time, he was a short seller that not many people knew. in fact, was not doing so well because he was betting against the market when the market was still going up. >> rose: and the reason everybody knows him now is because when he bet against the housing bubble... >> he did very, very well. >> rose: better than anybody, as far as we sglochlt absolutely. >> rose: so therefore he had a big name. >> and that's why a lot of people look at this case and think that this is... hindsight is 20/20 and an easy case to make now. but i do think there are serious issues, as michael said. >> just to back away from the lawsuit for a minute and look at the deal. it's riveting. i don't know whether what they did was illegal or not but it should be illegal. >> rose: (laughs) >> it's indefensible what they did! that senate a room with someone... with the person they knew who knew the most about the underlying securities and he picked the absolute worst ones and then they presented it to this enti

mary shapiro, elizabeth warren it is great to have you here. i am honored to share the stage with you. i thought i would start by having you give us a sense of your day today. our first goal today is to talk about your role and where you are today. we would like to get a lot of feedback from everyone in the audience, on the twister, and in e-mail t-mailwiller -- on twitter and in e-mail. elisabeth, will you start. what is your day to day like? >> i am located still in the academic world. my goals consist of things -- my days consist of things like teaching, office hours and the like. in addition to that, i serve on the congressional oversight panel. we turn out a report every single month. it is like doing a term paper every 30 days, on some aspect of the t.a.r.p. program, how deeply -- how the money is being spent, and if we are accomplishing our goals. i also continue to talk about the economics of a middle-class families, which i have been doing for a long time now. i advocate for changes in the financial system that would be helpful to thos

when earl warren announced he was departing clearly seeing earl warren not being somebody who trusted richard nixon -- a very savvy guy thinking lyndon johnson could fill the chair while he was still there before nixon could win the election and get inaugurated. didn't happen. nixon passed the word through ehrlichman to bob griffin in the senate, filibuster. there had never been a filibuster by the republicans of a supreme court nominee when there were threats of a filibuster during the bush years or the other times it has come up when it starts with nixon. what johnson was going to do was put in the chief justice and associate justice chair and thornberry from texas into that share. he was putting two people on the court because of the way the chairs were shuffling. >> host: this was 1968. >> guest: the heart of the campaign. the filibuster prevents florida from getting the chair. that kills thornberry. florida state seated. mitchell, one of the thing that comes up during the confirmation hearing on the tip from somebody from washington that there was outside income from teaching at

when he talked about we should not be paying for warren buffett's retirement, what he is talking about is the idea that we should not pay of full social security for people at the top of the income scale. that is a fundamental reinvention of know what social security has three doing for a generation. -- what social security has been doing for a generation. when he talks about playing the granny card, any time you get people proposing anything like this, politicians on both sides say, you are going to hurt granma. historically, it has been a loser to offer any kind of change. >> this party seems to have a real challenge on the issues of debt and spending. you mention a number of races coming up in indiana. how interesting will they be for the parties? >> that is a good question. it is one of the first states with returns to come in, so on election night it is often looked at. you have an early primary, so one reason it will be interesting to steve -- to see is the republican primary for the open senate seen at after bayh

his chief rival, pun intended, is justice warren burgar -- warren burger. he is accorded near-great status. his leadership is unparalleled. sadly, he did not live to see the building completed. having been persuaded to run for president by his mentor, theodore roosevelt, who launched a third-party candidacy against him, precipitating his defeat for a second term, allowing democrat woodrow wilson to win the presidency. as the court's sole former president to serve on the bench, he is the only person to have engineered his future appointment from the white house. several biographers suggest that he promoted justice edward white to the position, rather than his younger colleague, because white was only 48 and would probably serve long enough to preclude a future president from appointing taft. white was 55 years of age at the time of his promotion, served until 1921, when president warren hidiharding fulfilled t's goal. he began actively participating in every presidential position to fill vacancies. he wrote, i look forward to having you on the bench with me.

i want to caveat your mention of teapot dome and harding with the fact that warren harding has nothingto do with it. that's one of the great travesties that he's been tagged with teapot dome when it happens after he's, it's totally away from him. the one time he learns of the scandal he deals with it aggressively, but yet he bears the burden of teapot dome. >> host: and he dies before he can defend himself. >> guest: and he dies before he can defend himself. but teapot dome is a, is a pure corruption scandal, and the only parallel, really, the strongest parallel is the use of the special prosecutor. they've selected two of them by the department of justice, the attorney general has selected two. in fact; i've read memo by the watergate prosecutors drawing on many of the precedents that were established under teapot dome. it shows we have a remedy less than having to have an independent counsel law that can be used and can be set up. i think sometimes it should. i'm one, for example, who counterunderstand why we're not -- doesn't understand why we're not dealing with torture that way. t

i want you to think more about warren buffett and benjamin graham and not so much about jerry falwell or the ayatollah khomeini. that means i believe the best way to divine where a stock should be going is by analyzing the facts about the underlying companies and its future, the prospects. now, i'm always telling you to do your homework, and that means, again, reading the company's earnings releases, going over their s.e.c. filings, and by far the most important, listening to the conference calls. those quarterly conferences are available everywhere now. all this stuff, i know, part of the boring, even quotidian, to use an s.a.t. word, side of stock detective work. it's the basic just the facts, ma'am. a little "dragnet" style work. you can't do without it. sorry. but just because the fundamentals tell the most important part of a stock story, that doesn't mean they're the whole tale. there are other ways of unraveling the truth about a stock's trajectory, and they're worth heeding. here's one. since the show began, i didn't used to talk about it. but during that great crash i spoke a

warren buffett himself once described derivatives bought and sold with little oversight as, "financial weapons of mass destruction." that is why, through reform, we would help ensure that these kind of complicated financial transactions take place on an open market. because, ultimately, it is a marketplace that is open, free, and fair that will allow our economy to flourish. we would also close loopholes to stop the kind of recklessness and irresponsibility that we have seen. it is these loopholes that allowed executives to take risks that not only endangered their companies, but also our entire economy. and we're going to put in place new rules so that big banks and financial institutions will pay for the bad decisions they make, not taxpayers. simply put, this means no more taxpayer bailouts. never again will taxpayers be on the hook because a financial company is deemed too big to fail. finally, these reforms hold wall street accountable by giving shareholders new power in the financial system. they will get a say on pay, a vote on salaries and bonuses awarded to top executives, and

but if you're warren buffet and you get most of your moan from dividend and capital gains, you don't pay medicare tax on that. your eligible for it. you're going to get the same medicare benefits as anybody else, but because your source of income is what's called unearned income, you don't have to pay this. i'm thinking to myself, how is it that the guy who is cleaning up the office is paying the medicare tax and the guy who is making capital gains isn't? so what we said was, look, if you make more than $250,000 a year, then that moan that you make over $200 thousand, $250,000 a year that's unearned that's from capital gains and dividends, you should have to pitch in to medicare just like everybody else, because you're going to be using it just like everybody else. what the congressional stiss has said -- i'm sorry these answers are long, but i want to make sure i'm answering your questions. i want to make sure i am respecting the importance of your question. what the congressional budget office has said is that as a consequence of savings of waste and fraud combined with other resou
