that motivated me into warren. as i mentioned, not only am i finishing--literally this morning i put in the fedex back and said to my editors of finishing it as we speak. the eisenhower book grew almost directly out of the warren book. warren i had thought about and interested as governor and that part of his life. the eisenhower book came to me differently. the editor in new york who believed there was potential for eisenhower presidency read warren bookend came with the idea of working on a race. unlike warren why felt i knew from close toice. unlike warren why felt i knew from close to the beginning of my research -- by the end of their lives they had little use for one another. very quickly the two were a part and there is a series of domestic security cases that the war on court handed down that really set up eisenhower and also had some differences about how the court went about desegregating schools and other institutions. i came to eisenhower believing i would end up a real critical of him. i learned someth

goalie since we spoke less the time has gone out on dear mr warren buffett apparently he's not wearing any shorts tell us about the departure of is heir apparent and the whiff of front running insider trading what it says about the bigger picture and us banking jetted to have a kohli on next this isn't a case of telling the truth slowly i think you're aware that warren buffett issued a press release and them all talking about the departure of david so call who was the head of american energy and david so call. it was also somebody who looked at acquisition candidates for berkshire hathaway now as the facts are coming out it appears that he was new meeting with citi group bankers on december thirteenth and the next day he bought shares in a country called oversaw in a company called lubrizol now the day before the citi group bankers understood that they were talking to david so call in his capacity as an officer of berkshire hathaway in a capacity of an officer who evaluates potential acquisition candidates for berkshire hathaway that seemed to be their clear understanding and in that m

warren buffett's bank in california. one hundred sixty million dollars fine for longer a nearly four hundred million in mexican drug money why no prosecution. well you know i think there's been no prosecution because again our captured regulators when you look at the horrific press that this is gotten were basically well kofi it was laundering money for a mexican drug cartel that is killing mexican citizens so basically the united states has helped aid and abet this through. money laundering through a kofi and mccovey i think by the way i wasn't alone in that but these are very serious issues and that's not the only serious issue that wilko of you had you recall that because your pot of gold in west those you know loans from golden west many of them were just circling the drain at the time that bought gold in the last they were securitizing those loans they had a problem with the c.d.o. is that. put together because he was also acting as ensure need for toxic c.d.o. from other investment banks they were scratching each o

man and now david sokol who is supposed to be the heir apparent to warren buffett had to resign after it turned out that he could have been front runner insider trading on lubrizol which he bought shares in this company prior to convincing warren buffett to buy huge chunk of it well david sokol appeared on c m p c and said to which i don't believe i did anything wrong charlie monger in my own three percent of b. y. d. before he asked me to look at it for this is that chinese are manufacturing of electric cars that charlie munger apparently owned before he convinced warren buffett to buy this earth because warren buffett was really the last man in finance in america that had any moral authority whatsoever of the oracle of omaha and he was constantly referenced as the quiet a studious graham following a good guy who would come in and see goldman sachs or before that it was solomon brothers and it turns out he's just a conniving backstabbing insider trading market manipulating schmuck like dick fold or jamie diamond or lloyd blankfein or any of the other crooks on wall street the fact th

so there's two issues. >> as far as the director should elizabeth warren be that director? >> absolutely. i don't think there's any leader of any civil rights or consumer or labor group in the country that doesn't think that professor elizabeth warren is the first and the best choice. it is going to be a fight in the senate if that fight is waged in public with the people of the united states participating, i think she has a very good chance to win. but she has not yet been nominated. no one has. >> does she have supporters or strong supporters within the white house and democrats on capitol hill? >> well, i think she does. i think the president has been a strong supporter. the secretary said some very positive things about her the other day on capitol hill. she has many friends. she has some people that say they would never stand for her. but we think that she has the best chance. and she would be the best director. >> as far as the vote is concerned, that's scheduled for next week? >> the vote on the director is not scheduled because no one has been nominated. the votes o
