the financial crisis. joining me now is the man behind those ideas. william cohen is also the author of "money and power: how goldman sachs came to rule the world." let's say he does bring those ideas to bear. will business accept them? will they like them? >> look, i understand there's a lot of animosity out there towards wall street and justifiably so. if it weren't for wall street chances are pretty good we wouldn't have gotten into the financial problems of 2007 and 2008. the time for the behavior and figuring out what they should have done is over. the market has been down nearly every day since the president was reelected. up a little bit today. the fiscal cliff or curve or whatever it is looms. it's time for wall street in washington. >> will they like the ideas that you wrote out there? >> no. of course they like the idea of working together. they won't like the idea of being prosecuted. i think they go hand in hand.
