WHO Meet The Press February 8, 2016

About every bank . Or are we talking about a particular part of new york . Thats never really clarified. What i believe is that there are good actors and bad actors in every part of our economy. The job of the president is to weed out and prevent the bad actors from disrupting Economic Activity from amassing too much power and influence. But we live in a complex Global Economy where weve got to have a good Banking System that is able to service the American Economy. And it needs to be more than just looking at the five banks that are the big banks. We have to have a much more Robust Community Banking System, regional Banking System, other forms of credit access. And thats what i am advocating for. And i still do not understand why im having this problem getting senator sanders to join me in going after what are the potential problems that are out there, the shadow Banking Sector fund sector. Can you have a treasury secretary who isnt familiar with how wall street works . And i say this because i think theres so much distrust right now. Yes. There is. There is. Six of the last treasuries either came from wall street or went to wall street after. I think there certainly right now isnt an appetite for somebody from wall street to be the next treasury secretary, and yet can you have a treasury secretary if they dont understand wall street . Well, you have to have a treasury secretary who understands the economy, the American Economy and the Global Economy. I think there are a lot more places where one can and should look for such a treasury. Do you think you can pick one without having them have a wall street background . You know, i want somebody who can make a good commitment to work with me to get the economy moving, to get more good jobs created, to get incomes rising, to look out over the horizon at some of the economic problems that are out there. Weve got to figure out what were going to do with china. China is finally having to come to grips with the fact that a lot of its growth may not have been as on a Firm Foundation as so we need people in government who have that kind of commitment and understanding. But weve got to put the needs of the American Economy first. And thats going to be my commitment. Before i let you go i want to ask you about a comment former secretary of state Madeleine Albright said, a comment ive heard her say before. But it sort of rang differently to a lot of people. She said, theres a special place in hell for women who dont help women. But the implication is that somehow if youre a democratic woman and youre not supporting you, whats wrong with you. Do you want the vote to be decided on gender lines like that . Oh, look, as you remember, madeleine has been saying this for many, many years. Starbucks cups i think. I get that. She believes it firmly and in part because she knows what a struggle it has been. And she understands the struggle is not over. So i dont want people to be offended by what she is you can understand why some might have been offended by it . Well, good grief, were getting offended about everything these days. Honest to goodness, i mean, people cant say anything without offending somebody. She has a Life Experience that i respect. I admire her greatly. And i think what she was trying to do, which shes done in every setting ive ever seen her in going back 20plus years, was to remind young women particularly that this struggle which many of us have been part of is not over. And dont be in any way lulled by the progress weve made. And i think it was a light hearted but very pointed remark, which people can take however they choose. All right. What do you got in the super bowl . I dont have anybody right now. You dont have anybody . Im going to flint, michigan, im worrying about the kids in flint, michigan, to make sure we can do what we can to make sure they are not damaged by this youre going today, you could have gone yesterday. The mayor asked me to come. This was as earliest as we could get it done. Im very hopeful to congress which is trying to work in a bipartisan way will come up with some funding to deal with these problems that have afflicted the community. And im going to keep doing everything i can help them. Secretary clinton, i know you have a plane to catch. Thanks. Great to talk to you. Last night, i spoke with senator Bernie Sanders from new york where he was preparing to appear on saturday night live. Here it is. I want to start with some reviews from the debate. First the debate on wall street. You got some good reviews. But on Foreign Policy, i want to put up some headlines here, sir. Not so good boston globe, sanders flunks on Foreign Policy, the Washington Post, Bernie Sanders trips up on Foreign Policy during debate. How do you respond to that . Well, you know, time after time when we have had these debates, the pundits keep thinking that Hillary Clinton the people do not. And we did very well in iowa. I think were doing well in New Hampshire. And i think were doing well nationally. Look, theres no question that Hillary Clinton has a great deal of experience regarding Foreign Policy. She was our secretary of state for four years. That gives her a lot of experience. But it is not just experience that matters. It is judgment. I think we have the judgment in terms of what we should do with isis right now, that we should learn the lesson of the iraq war, which i vigorously opposed, which means that we cannot, chuck, do it alone. I will do everything that i can to make sure that our young men and women in the military do not get sucked into a perpetual warfare in the quagmire of the middle east. But the concern i think is not about your policy on isis. Let me play for you something albright said on saturday. Take a listen. Ive been very concerned about his lack of knowledge. Most people know how many dictators north korea has. I have spent an awful lot of time on the hill in a variety of ways. Ive gone up and down briefings and all kinds of things. Unless he looked totally different at the time, he has never been to any briefing let me stipulate, Madeleine Albright is a supporter of Hillary Clinton and she was brought up here by the Hillary Clinton campaign to talk about this. My concern is about the level of interest you have on Foreign Policy. Chuck, chuck, it goes without saying, number one, i have been to briefing after briefing after briefing. You know, in fact, just a couple of weeks ago when i visited with the president , one of the things that we talked about was iran and Foreign Policy. It is obviously an enormously president is about. Now, i dont really know this, maybe the answer is different, tell me what Madeleine Albrights position was on the war in iraq . Right. I dont know. I dont know. I wouldnt be surprised if she supported it. You know, the issue here is not just experience. The issue is judgment. I voted against the first gulf war, which history will record. I led the opposition against the war in iraq, which history will also record as being the right thing. Clearly, clearly Foreign Policy is enormously important. And i will tell you this also, chuck, if you go back to 2008, this is exactly what the clinton people were doing to senator barack obama. They were attacking him he didnt have the experience, et cetera, et cetera. I am absolutely confident that if elected president we will policy for the American People. I think to alleviate some of these concerns if you told how about i know you didnt tell me the other night when i asked you about who your Foreign Policy advisors are. Give me a few names of people you would end up considering as a secretary of state or secretary of defense. I think its a little bit premature to talk about who your secretary of defense is going to be. I will tell you that we have met recently with people like larry cobb, actually worked in the reagan administration, talked to people like jim zagby, talked to the people on j street to get a Broad Perspective of the middle east. Ive been meeting with a whole lot of people. But let me reassure the American People, despite wahat they are hearing from Madeleine Albright, that it goes without saying that in Foreign Policy, must have a strong Foreign Policy position. And i will, of course, do that. Let me move onto Something Else you said from the debate. It was a tough charge. You said and you yourself said this was going to be a tough charge when you said it. The Business Model of wall street is fraud. Boy, that was a broad brush. And i was thinking about the fact that theres a lot of Union Pension funds that are invested in wall street, 30 in many of them when you look. I was looking up some of these things. A lot of 401 k s, a lot of retirements is based on investments in wall street. It seems to me, if you believe its afraid, would you not like to see money invested in something based on a fraud. Look, chuck, what i said i believed to be true. A few weeks ago, as you know, a Goldman Sachs reached a settlement with the United States government for 5 billion. 5 billion. Why . Were defrauding investors in terms of selling subprime mortgage packages that were worthless. Now, thats my definition of fraud. And other major banks also have received paid huge settlement fines to the federal government. And what really burns the American People up is after paying 5 billion in a settlement agreement, none of these people, none of the executives on wall street get charged with anything. Kid gets caught with some marijuana, gets a police record. Fraudulent activity on wall street destroys the economy, no so do i believe that the Business Model of wall street is flawed . I think the answer obviously of course it is. Very quickly, super bowl maybe the broncos. Thats who youre rooting for . Or thats whou think will win . Patriots, but im afraid thats not going to happen. With the republican race and my sitdown a few minutes ago with donald trump. And as we go to break, were going to give you some memorable moments from New Hampshire. Heres one. Ronald reagan showing the world what a formidable candidate he would become. Welcome to the world 2116, you can fly across town in minutes or across the globe in under an hour. Whole communities are livingon mars and solar satellites provide earth with unlimited clean power. In less than a century, boeingtook the world from seaplanes to space planes, across the universe and beyond. And if you thought that was amazing, you just wait. Look, the wolf was huffing and puffing. Like you do sometimes, grandpa . Well, when you have copd, it can be hard to get air out, which can make it hard to get air in. So i talked to my doctor. She said. Symbicort could help you breathe better, starting within 5 minutes. Symbicort doesnt replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms.

By the way, were going to get snow on tuesday on voting day. Were broadcasting from the nbc news headquarters here in New Hampshire. An unbelievable setting we have here. And just about anybody who is in politics, reports on politics or just cares about politics has decided to spend the last days before the primary just outside our doors. It was easy to grab four of the best though, journalists, for our panel this morning. My buddy Chris Matthews who of course is host of hardball, been here for many New Hampshire primaries. Our chief Foreign Affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell who is covering the Hillary Clinton campaign. Hallie jackson also with nbc covering the cruz campaign, and radio talk show host hugh hewitt, host of the hugh hewitt show. Lets focus on last nights republican debate. Wow. Headlines, new york times, gop rivals jab at rubio to try to slow his rise, the Washington Post, rubio endures an assault in a rollocing gop debate. I wish i could hold it up, the one i dont have, choke, with rubio. Hugh. Donald trump did not lose saturday night, i think john kasich pole vaulted over marco rubio into second place by being very New Hampshire, but im a contrary on rubio, he won all of that debate except those three minutes. That will push him back, but he had a terrific second half. And i think hell get the bronze come tuesday night. Wow. Chris. Well, thats good except the only problem you have is the videotape. And it exists. The three minutes. All right. Well, let me pause. Look at this thing. It is rough. Take a listen. And lets just start once and for all with this fiction that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactct what hes that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing. This notion that barack obama doesnt know what hes doing is just not true. There it is. There it is. The memorized 25second speech. We are not facing a president that doesnt know what hes doing. He knows what hes doing. Anyone who believes that barack obama isnt doing what hes doing on purpose doesnt understand what were dial uealing with here. Thats e numerable times. Reminded me of the Science Fiction film blade runner where someone in this case Chris Christie proved out there was a replica instead of not a human being. It was strange because he was reading these prerecorded statements which are like implanted memory tracks. They were not a human response. And i think hes got the answer for it and i think it was so strange i have no idea why he did it. Every candidate has lines they repeat. Weve all been doing a million s. T. E. M. Speeches. His problem was when he got up on the attack when they were doing it against him. Four times, same line. In marco roboto costumes showed up. Campaign would point out some 500 people showed up 45 minutes before the door opened. Theyre fiercely trying to spin this into a positive. Super bowl tonight, history. To repeat over and over again your oneliners in front of your rivals who are already pouncing, who are already calling him the boy in the bubble and diminishing him, trying to diminish him, it really hits him right at his most vulnerable point. Hugh, this is whats per plexing, christie telegraphed this for three days. This was obvious this was coming and this is how they prepare snd. Because hes running a general Election Campaign before he secured the nomination. Ill tell you what amused me last night, every democrat out there is eager to bury marco rubio because they are afraid of marco rubio. They are desperately afraid of him. Therefore i think what we got is a South Carolina brouhaha that will follow this mix up. And it will go to the convention. Convention because rubios not going away. One question, was there logic to doing it four times in a row . Yes. Because hes talking to me. Hes talking to republicans about barack obama. He is going to run that general Election Campaign. Barack obama knew what he was doing to this country. The democrats hate that you mean if he could do it over again he would repeat the same lines four times in a row . No. What does it mean . He fold back on christie a second time his staff had trained him and he had learned to be disciplined. Its a planned but seeing staff trained is not what these candidates need to show on that stage, hugh. They need to show that they have a functioning brain. This is a very smart man. You know who were not talking about . Were not talking about donald trump or ted cruz. Let me play a quick little jeb bush had one of his best moments with donald trump on the issue of Eminent Domain. What donald trump did was use Eminent Domain to try to take on the strip in atlantic city. That is downright wrong. Wants to be a tough guy. A lot of times youll have and it doesnt work very well. How tough is it to take property from an elderly woman . Let me talk. Quiet. Thats all of his donors and spec
