he wrote an op-ed in the "new york times" describing a culture of morally bankrupt people where clients are routinely referred to as muppets and sold products that are wrong for them. "it makes me ill," he wrote, "how callously people talk about ripping their clients off." >> there are so many clients we had forgotten what was important. >> reporter: it was wall street's jerry maguire moment, reminiscent of the movie where the sports agent writes a manifesto about an increasingly soulless business. >> it was the me i always wanted to be. >> reporter: but greg smith's crisis of conscience is of course infinitely more consequential. and it raises questions about how much, if at all, wall street has changed since it brought america to the brink of a great depression, a crisis for which no major financial executive has faced criminal charges. william cohan wrote a book about goldman called "money and power." >> the reason nothing has changed on wall street is because the incentives on wall

6 years old, going up there. a lot of those kids there are 12 or 14. >> never mind -- >> double her age! >> never mind the age, in a culture where kids no longer know how to write anything, because they type everything, there's no more penmanship, there's very little spelling taught in schools. this is admirable. more than admirable. >> i agree. >> one key is that she probably hasn't learned to text yet, so she hasn't learned all the back spelling. >> maybe that's helped her. maybe using with ipads and phones now are able to help them in a way. >> i think it's great. one of my favorite movies is "akeelah and the bee." i think getting kids involved in anything academic is great. president obama spoke last hour in maryland about energy and gas prices. without mentioning names, he talked about republican candidates riding the political wave of the moment and calling for $2.50 a gallon gas. he also wondered why they're not calling for $2.40 or $2.10 a gallon, but those prices are nowhere near what people are paying in sacramento, california, where prices jumped

spent. it's a no brainer. >> senator brown, in our waning moments, goldman sachs in the news. all the fuss over the resignation by that executive talking about the corruption of their culture. what do you make of that? is that a touch stone moment? is this one disgruntled investment banker who is going to have a tougher time finding a new job? >> i don't worry about him. i think it's not surprising. i guess the subject of what he wrote isn't surprise iing. to me what matters is 30 years ago, 25% of our gdp was manufacturing and only 10% was financial services. today that's almost flipped. that's one reason wages for the middle class are stagnant. we know how to make things in this country. we do it in an advanced way now. we need more of a focus on making things. not just in states like ohio,

goldman sachs is in damage control mode after that scathing "new york times" op-ed by the departing executive greg smith. he was a former goldman executive director. and he stated that the environment at goldman is as toxic and destructive as he had ever seen it. lloyd blankfein sent out a company-wide memo stating that smith's statements didn't reflect the company's values or culture. and we're watching shares of madison square garden, we saw them fall on news that knicks coach d'antoni resigned. the stock closed down 1.6%. the split was reported to be mutual. mike woodson has been named the interim coach and he led the team to a victory last night. don't take your victory lap just yet. >> as willie geist said, i hope people save their receipts on the jeremy lin jerseys. march madness at the white house. we're back in 30 seconds, politics of the president's picks.

set of maps versus being awake and asleep and you don't know, when you are asleep, you think you know' want to fight. but there is also the lone wolf culture in america and that lone wolf culture which has been very glamorous and very popularized for decades is actually antithetical to the culture that is required to do what you're talking about. >> and that is true. you know, what i -- there's this buzz word, the concept of the entrepreneur ecosystem. so those around us who are not only entrepreneurs themselves but who are investors, who are business people who have experienced the highs and lows of successful businesses. who can actually share advice, mentorship and guidance to people who are going through this now. so whether you choose to take a partner on is really -- it's inconsequential to this issue. it really is a matter of surrounding yourself with smart people who you can ask questions to candidly in order to pro tell yourself to success. >> and really, what you're talking about applies to the culture in silicon valley and the veterans and the culture of

ripping eyeballs out and getting paid doesn't exactly turn into a model citizen. dr. peterson, these model citizens at goldman sachs are some of mitt romney's largest benefactors. in this election, he's raised something like half a million dollars already for mitt himself. isn't it perhaps time mitt romney write an op-ed why he's leaving goldman sachs? >> you're not going to see that will from mr. romney, that's for sure. this op-ed is a sort of sad testament to the ways in which the 1% and the ways in which business as usual continues to be conducted both on wall street and in washington, d.c. i mean, the bottom line here is, we need a better code of ethics for those folk working in places like goldman sachs in order to overcome some of the financial woes we're faced with right now. >> ken vogel, some of the comments in this editorial are devastating. the culture used to be vital. there was integrity, humility and teamwork. now that doesn't exist.
