12:24 am
transportati i guarantee that is happening. you point* out a good example wre aot of the money is wasted. we know high-speed rail will not cover very many writers most projections show it will force huge operating subsidies and it should have went to repairing the ridge so it would not collapse. dennis: almost 30 percent of the brids are in bad shape does it turn out when politicians received from washington they spend it on a shy new projects than the boring stuff of fixing a decrepit bridge? >> craig point. there is nothing that i have discoved the politicians love more than the ribbon cutting ceremony for as a new raillproject or a statue or of building so you nail

that there is not a lotf? appeal to fill the potholes and repairing the th bridges but there is to the high-speed rail projects and that is why exactly the money goes to those projects. there has been no such shortage ofederal transporration dollars we have almost doubled spenng for highways and bridges over the last 10 years of it is not a problem of not enough money it just isn't going to the right pces. dennis: redouble spending but hen in the come with our economy dying and then came the stimulus i hear the president say dozens of times have to fix our roads and bridges 864 billion does it turn out that none of that went to fix the roads and brges? >> all lot of it did but also into wasteful projects th have nothing to do with

improving the transportation sector of our economy. you are right to lot of bridges are not safe right now and if we see more of this the american people will be upset over the fact the bridges are not just impassible but ao not saved but how do we allocate the federal tax dollars? a lot of it is an earmarked. but all about that state of the year market for the high-speed rail so lawmakers had no choice they had to spend it f that project. dennis: in other projects they say that they are so much better knowing how to spend the money so they should get the blk grt that would think that state officials would be better than the fed anbut they were not. >> to make goes bk to the point* that people like to do projects that is a basic

12:33 am
it has been astonishing one week after another you would think they could not do that. we're getting what is going on inside the grand jury investigation almost daily like they try it in the press because they caot do that to the court room. i wonder if they can get a fair jury at this point*. dennis: i met steve cohen added charity dinner and the most unassuming quiet man. he is n a swaggering that the fed takes the down by the targeting him because he is big and successful? >> i would think he makes a good target becse the firm has gh returns and there are people tied up in the investation. once that becomes the headline and heis out there to be mo successful than it is almost like it is an impersonal but it comes in on you and it is a game of

dennis: nothing like to make up for a birdie made off. vague subpoena steve cohen but i hear when u subpoena the main target that may mean he is nnt the main target when you had your unfortunate incident did they subpoena you or get them around you to tattle? >> i was almost the were more after my boss but it was more way to doubt. i think the government is playingivide and conquer hoping they can g somebody to fp i guess the people at sec that we all nee to hang together or hang separately so there is a lot of things the air and i am as surprised by the subpoena but i think it has increased pressure i would
12:36 am
be shocked if there wasn't an indictment after all of this especially last night there was a presentation with the justice department where they should not and this see to heat up further and i have been through that. dennis: five years long only now use of the ned the four lieutenants he's got to go after them right away? thank you. switching gears are the taxi's being kicked to the curb? the calves have not been getting a taxi to route project reires of 13,000 cabs to itch over to the news on minivan they're not even the hybrid. on january 1st and a matter of office i will enjoy a long dash destroyer and industry also some overreach the odor from the

12:38 am
half of the fleets in new york city right now. dennis: already energy-saving hybrids. now they have to turn in the and drive the neece on that doesn't. >> ablutely. the taxis of tomorrow it is e taxi of yesterday of the combustion engine old-style minivan the only benefit is one uniform carr. that taxi that is not a hybrid actually violates t law so we brought our concerns to the mayor actually tohe taxi and limousine commsion to say we have one car you put all suppliers t of business one japanese car manufactured imexico, a gm, ford, suppliers are going on as business and we have to retire the clean hybrid energy cars that is
