christine, is it true? did the heroic democrats save chrysler from the evil republicans who were going to let them wither on the vine? >> except some supporters of mitt romney were saying, this is what he had pushing for all along, a controlled bankruptcy of chrysler so you could let this whole thing work out. when you have both sides taking credit for it, it's interesting that just a couple of years ago bailouts were a dirty word. now you have fighting in political circles about what gets credit for the bailouts. >> they happen to think this auto one worked out. at the time, it was entirely likely that it wasn't going to happen. >> absolutely. and actually, i would push back a little bit against this sort of "he said, she said" interpretation of what happened. this was a controversial and politically difficult thing for the white house to do. it was definitely led by the democrats. it is definitely going against the really strong prevailing republican ideology. and the fact is it actually worked. this inte

her as one of the strongest economists in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and christine lagarde complex. i think. more of the same because one is that you can sustain it's not obvious you know greece. default and. even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try greece is debt is one of the high speed unfortunately are too far ahead and soon to find themselves in a very similar situation. person asking why it was to be even now and what happened to promises of friendship basis some at first seem to have very short memories i think that if christine guys get the job i think it will be a trio of the i.m.f. . if you remember dominic strauss only a few months ago had said that there should be a change in the global order specially since india and china over the last three or four years have been the world's largest economies and it's india and china that have. really the word out of the economic slump that it has been in the last few years one of the world's most powerful organizations the international monet

you're mentioning christine lagarde. of the ten imf bosses since the fund was created in 1944, four have come from france. krisz teen lagarde would be number five. developing countries are increasingly insistent that their growing clout ought to be reflected at the highest levels of the imf, yet despite their calls for a place at the top table, candidates from emerging economies may still face an uphill battle. i want to show you something here. take a look at this. this is how the voting rights break down among the imf members. as you can see there, the u.s. has 17.1% of the voting rights. this is sort of in line with what the global economies do. what you notice here, u.s. is 17, easily the biggest. japan next. you've got then germany, france, china and india down here. remember, china, of course, is now the second biggest economy in the world. much bigger than germany, much bigger than france. japan is the third biggest economy. this is why particularly the emerging countries like china even india, which is now the 11

the bookies favorite is this woman, we're talking about christine lagarde. she's the french finance minister and could be the first ever female chief of the imf. jim bitterman sat down with ms. lagarde to ask her what she might bring to the imf's top job. >> i tell you what i bring, i think, to the fund if i was elected. i'm a lawyer by background. and i have that set of legal skills. i'm a leader by temper and attitude and professional experience. i'm also a person that can reach out and reach consensus. i'm a person that expects others to shine and bring their talent to resolving problems. on the top of which having been 25 years in private practice and having led a very large institution, although in the private sector, baker mckenzie, one of the largest law firms in the world, i've been the minister of finance for france for the last four years. you know, we've traveled the tempest, not too badly. the crisis did not hit france as hard as it hit other countries. >> in your announcement, why did you emphasize you were bringing your expertise as a lawyer an

program christine now are you surprised the deal collapsed and you think it could be revived. i'm not surprised because there were too many. glad that i actually had collapsed because it showed that b.p. is having financial maturity and he's not going to be carried away just to get the deal there were too many shoes that were still uncertain and that a was not willing to give in too so i don't think that even though it's touted article out of the deal i don't think it's the end of the deal i think it's the end of the deal under their conditions as that's how we've existed but going forward i think they can continue to negotiate now which party is more aware of the needs and the wants of the other party and they can continue to deliberate until they can arrive at some understanding that these are assuming that it is really interested in negotiating because it doesn't look like it from the outside sources that rosneft is now looking for a new arctic partner partner who fits the bill do you think. well i can said russell it has several partners and there are not that many compani

very emotional words now earlier artie's christine for that interview lynne paramour's a fellow at the roosevelt institute and founding editor of the new deal two point zero blog she said the irony is that using solitary confinement for safety backfires the irony is it doesn't control violence at all in fact some of the prisoners become more violent after being put in solitary confinement and the danger is also if you when they're released back into society if they have been subjected to this treatment which has left them mentally deranged in some cases more agitated more prone to violent behavior they become more dangerous to society i think elaine it's really important to point out and to make clear that it is a question once in a while solitary use because you don't know what to do with violent prisoners but so often more often than not i believe this is not used to keep violent prisoners away from the rest of the population when the rest of the prison population this is used as a form of punishment and and here's the thing that i find so interesting a lot of times it's used as an i

also left a void in leadership and while the french have been quick to announce their finance minister christine legarde is a candidate this time around he might not find it so easy but brics brazil russia india china and south africa have written an official letter reminding the i.m.f. that the world is changing and of the financial institutions leadership. needs to reflect that so if the brakes do indeed revolt considering that western nations are the ones over indebted and needing all the help right now what would the record questions be for europe could it be a little bit of payback joining me to discuss this is gregory y. editor of money game for the business insider greg thanks so much for joining us tonight for starters obviously europe is still reeling from the fact that dominique strauss kahn got involved in a massive sex scandal had to resign and they're looking for a new leadership but does this letter also shake things up a bit does it does that deliver another blow well it certainly makes it not an easy process for them to get christine legarde in charge it's probably still going to

been the policy so far we've seen the consequences of that increase about portugal and ireland and christine the growth comes the next. i think the short run what you expect. more of the same as long as they can sustain it it's not obvious you know greece. and the edge of. default and perhaps even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try and what do you think is behind this sort of unusual more aggressive than normal statement event that it's reflective of again sort of a new era do you think it will go back and sort of see this as their as a significant turning point where the world did sort of step away from this u.s. oriented european oriented world view or do you think that's a reflection of her just folks being fed up with the with the current policies at the bank well i think this book if you look at good grass a range of institutions the new shoes he seem a countries stepping forward when the united need the united states britain and france with nato when into the invasion of libya subsume countries issued a stateme
