so did warren. if i know i will run my head into a brick wall, which is a good trait in grant, if i know i am going to do that, wouldn't it be prudent of me to find where the mortar was a little thinner, so i could do it to best effect? knew in order for me to head butt you from this position, i need to go through all these people. isn't it common sense to clear them out of the way first? i do not think hancock was shy about attacking, any more than anybody else was. the difference is, hancock never openly criticized grant, and he was a contemporary of him. warren was younger. he is like an upstart. you never want to be smarter than grant and more correct than grant. but warren was both and grant knew it. one of the problems with grant is that he jealously guards his authority and i think that was a direct effect of what happened in the west when he was removed from command after winning some successes. the unforgivable thing is that he then did that mean-spirited thing to other people. if you look

warren: yeah. i have to understand the business, and there are lots of businesses i don't understand. some of them may be almost un-understandable and others are just outside my sphere of confidence. but you do have people who have that expertise? warren: there is a lot of overlap. -- itportant thing is not is nice to have a huge circle of competence. as much more important where the limits are of it. you can do very well if you only understand 5% of the businesses in the country. >> and you'll find plenty of opportunities. and you know that you've got the 5% in that circle. charlie: you made a huge purchase in 2016. precision was bought in 2016. warren: yes. charlie: $37 billion. warren: including $33 billion in cash and the assumption of debt. charlie: is it harder and harder to find an acquisition candidate? warren: sure. we've got to move the needle. if we make $1 billion, we're talking a quarter of 1%. and that's after tax. that's more than a billion and a half, pretax. so it's hard to find th

warren: sure it is.ill: but the government -- you businesso has to keep in shape that it has the incentive to do things right. striking that balance, you know, should be at the heart of political dialogue. warren: you need more golden eggs. you have the ferrous island of the world. two guys deciding how they should divide up a palm tree. so, beyond national security issues, when you -- what do we have to be careful of in the future? when we talk about it, some people believe that artificial intelligence offers some kind of risk. and you've spoken to that, that it could get out of control. you spoken to that and other people have. what's around the corner that will both benefit us, artificial intelligence is clearly one of those things, too, but also offers a scary world, whether it is gene editing or that kind of -- you think of these things? bill: gene editing is a good one, where the promise of helping with disease, making plants that are more prophetic -- productive -- gene editing is playing with the

warren: we have this body and mind, emotion. i want to augment, if this is the money, i have to accept money, real happiness for some of my friends. terre: you say if someone measures themselves fully by what they have, they will end up in trouble. what kind of trouble? warren: i ll atory of a woman in omaha who was in one of the worst camps in germany in world war ii. some years ago, she looked at me, and she said, "warren, i am very slow to make friends because when i look in somebody's eyes, the question in my mind is -- would they hide me?" and i tell people if they have got 60, 70 years of age, and you have people who will hide you, you are a success. i have seen a lot of people at 70 who are unhappy. i've seen a lot of people with a who are unhappy. so the ultimate satisfaction in life is not only your bank account, it is really if the people that you wish love you actually love you. terre: so are you successful? warren: i feel ok. i am not as successful as others. take your time, i'm doing fine. i do feel good about the p

[ applause ] . john: the music swells. this idea that the right politician will lift all of us up, bring us together, save the country is just stupid. and worse, it's dangerous because it encourages people to turn to politicians for answers, and the way politicians do things, the way government does anything is through force. we don't need more force, we need less. i finally came to understand that by listening to people who have thought about these things more thoroughly than i, people at the libertarian cato institute like david boaz, the author of the libertarian mind. also here to tell us how hollywood gets politics wr

warren: through a blind trust? is not justar, this a stockbroker, someone you pay to handle paperwork. this is someone who buys stock at your direction, someone who buys and sells the stock you want them to buy and sell. rep. price: not true. you foundn: so when out -- because you decide not to tell them and we are all supposed to believe that? rep. price: it is the manner in which members of this committee -- it is important to appreciate that is the case. sen. warren: i want to understand, when you found out your broker made this trade without your knowledge, did you reprimand -- reprimand her? did you fire her? did you sell the stock? rep. price: what i did was comply with the rules of the house and a lack of -- ethical and legal manner and in a transparent way. time has expired senator warren. i believe senator murkowski went over by two minutes. did i misread the clock? sen. warren: your periodic transaction report notes that you were notified of the trade on april 4 2016. did you take additional actions plans

warren buffett is founder of berkshire hathaway. together the two started the giving pledge in 2010, encourages the wealthy to donate to causes. bill gates has given $24 billion to charities. pleased to have both of them back at the table. welcome. we did something like this at columbia university with 1,000 students. you do this before. there is something special about the curiosity and the interest of young people, wanting to know how do they learn from you, wanting to know if you were starting over what would you do, wanting to know about values. >> well, about the friendship, we met on july 5, 1991, and hit it off middle east. bill was a little reluctant at first but he got there. >> rose: reluctant to come. if it wasn't for his mother, we would probably not know each other. we had a good time ever since and we cooperated particularly on the giving pledge but other things as well. i have to say, everything about it has turned out well. >> rose: he sits on your board. >> he sits on the berkshire board, and we have a lot of fun ta

warren. two new teeth and a proper smile to charm the ladies, huh? the general's wife, right? [ both chuckle ] >> between two sons of liberty, the cost of a new tooth might be a tip from a spy. >> surely you will consider this adequate payment. >> boys, let's start cleaning up. we've got some work to do tonight. >> when parliament tries to force the colonists to pay taxes on british tea, tensions in boston reach a boiling point. and the sons of liberty lead a protest that will reverberate across the atlantic. >> to the harbor! [ all cheering ] >> the boston tea party may be the culmination of years of pent-up anger. but it's also a strategic act of nonviolence. the perpetrators dress up, conceal their identities. but another purpose is symbolic. by masquerading as mohawk indians, the patriots also send a message that they, like the native people before them, identify as american. >> we're gonna turn boston harbor into a teapot! >> the boston tea party is political theater at its finest. they throw the modern-day equivalent of $3 million worth of tea

we spoke with her in washington. >> warren wants trump to sell his businesses. says that's the beast way to prevent conflicts. otherwise we're looking at potential opportunities for corruption. look, under trump's plan he keeps ownership then's a sticking point. he knows about his assets, knows who his partners are and his own attorney said that he'll be able to read about the new deals the trump organization does in the paper. so for warren and for many ethics experts, the point is how can trump make policy decisions without anyone ever questioning whether he's considering his bottom line >> what he's zidescribing does t resolve the conflicts of interest. this is not a democrat or republican issue. this is a good government issue. we count on the president of the united states to be working 24/7 for no one except the american people. no efforts to try to line his own pocket to make a little more money for his family. and that's the reason we say for a president of the united states and for others in high government office, listen, once you take that solemn oath
