how big is the sun? - big. - how big? very big. big-big-big-big-big-big. okay, let me tell you this, gang. the atom is small-small-small-small, as many times small than us as the sun and average-size stars are bigger than us. so do you want something for your poetry class? guess who stands between the atoms and the stars... in size? - us. - us. that's right, right in between. human beings are as many times bigger than the atom as the stars are many times bigger than us. so it will kind of give you a little bit of feeling. here's another one. i like things like this. apple, any atoms in an apple? i'm sure there's a few, couple of dozen. come on, honey. this scads, right? about 10 to the 22, huh? many, many atoms in an apple, okay? how many apples would fit in the world? you take the world and made it all hollow and you stuck apples in there, lot of apples or little? about as many apples would fill up the whole world as, as many atoms fill up the apple, so atoms are really... small small-small. some people say, "no such thing as perpetual motion." someone el

this guy's big. >> he is really big. >> he's big in occupy. >> i don't buy that he's big. >> he's bigcupy. that's the problem. most people in main street america have no idea who the hell that guy is even after reading the article in new york magazine. most people in iowa don't have a clue what occupy is for, despite what we just put up, despite what they've been for the entire six months, what are they for? not whats, what. no one can tell us. >> i don't think that's true. so many thousands if not millions of people got involved in some way means they are fed up. the tea party wasn't for something for a while either. >> they were against big government. what is occupy for or against? >> against inequality and money in politics. the question is, what are the solutions to deal with those core problems they've identified. there's a diversity of solutions. >> one of the things that's interesting is occupy is not just a set of agendas. it's also experimenting with the whole idea of leadership and what a leadership model looks like in the 21st century. there are two things that changed. th

so the big cities, the big counties, a big part of that vote is still out tonight.ason why this is too close to call. in ohio, yet again. >> so interesting. i didn't get the browns/bengals thing, but i understand the red and the orange. >> that's the colors. [chuckles] >> by the way, i think the margin for an automatic recount in ohio, i think is 25%. i will check that -- the margin. all night long. we are watching the exit polls and we are looking at ohio. >> bret, this is getting very interesting tonight. here is why. let's take a look at the numbers here. romney's election mantra has been that his life in the private sector and also partly as a mr. fix-it of the olympics has been the major selling point and the ohio voters seem to agree with that. that counts for them a lot. they believe a president is better prepared if his background is in business and he wins that margin soundly. and ohio has been hit very hard and for those who say that's their top issue, they are going for romney. but votersush the age of 30 favoring rick santorum this evening. they continue

end too big to fail but we didn't and now too big to fail is even bigger shocking numbers are getting wall street's wealth inequality coming up in just a moment also the more we learn about paul ryan's budget the worse it gets regardless and send it to the floor of the house of representatives for a vote in the not too distant future so the republicans really vote for more corporate welfare for the top one percent while taking away health care from the ninety nine percent and president obama caves into political pressure and gives part of the i excelled keystone pipeline project a green flag why do you do this and what are the political consequences of. the need to know this too big to fail is bigger than ever the federal reserve bank of dallas is out with its annual report on america's banking industry in the numbers are shocking currently only five banks control more than half of all the industry's assets that's right the top five banks in america own fifty two percent of all the wealth in the financial sector put that in perspective in one nine hundred seventy the top five banks co

big win for mitt romney. double digits. and early in the day aides saying they'd be happy but they're confident they're going to win. and it's a very big win for mitt romney. he's won 21 of the 33 contests that happened so far. and as he has in previous vikt floiz mention of his rivals vokusing on barack obama and his removeal from office. here is how he put it. >> our choice will not be about party, or even personality. this election will be about principle. our economic freedom will be on the ballot. i'm offering a real choice. and a new beginning. i'm running for president because i have the experience and the vision to get us out of this mess. >> bret: familiar rhetoric from mitt romney. there is an indication from the campaign he would tonight suggest his campaign had begun to coa less conservatives behind him. and that it would be time now for some of the rivals to begin thinking about a decision as to twlornt get out. none that have happened. instead we're told that romney's sur investigates will begin that in the da

time, big time, big time. >> verne: william buford, the only senior in the squad playing for ohio statebigger than that bucket. with 0.8 second left, and they will review it. >> clark: definitely a two. he's inside that line. >> verne: i thought so. it was called a two. >> clark: he's actually inside both lines. >> verne: ravenel is going to come back in. >> clark: i talked to some of the ohio state folks, and for the team, this would be a statement game if they hold on. they feel like they've lost a little bit of their national cachet, and you look at the bench, and buford, who has suffered through an inconsistent season, but this would be quite a bit of splendor in his chi latte. >> verne: the conference still going on, and it may be a time issue. >> clark: there you go, it should stop when it goes through so maybe 1.1, 1.answer is all that you could discern to add from there, i think, if anything. upon that ball going through the hole, it should stop immediately. devastated fan there. >> verne: and there. a couple of good players right there. >> clark: oh, yeah, two of the all-time,

how big is it? >> that's right. this whole, i think, beseen sort of in the beltway or at first glance is a big defeat of rick santorum over mitt romney. this is a big defeat of newt gingrich by rick santorum. going down south, theying this is your strategy, your justification for staying in the race, you can win in places like this and i can't. look where i beat you, i beat you in the place you're supposed to be strongest. this makes it hard to understand how newt gingrich stays in the race. you saw that with his pitiful stretch in his speech talking about how him and rick stantoru won a big majority and together one two-thirds of the delegates.

iraq or mark here ok so even though they're too big to fail it sounds like they're also too big to not do business with as well i think that's right very they're monopolists moving on though because that speaking of business models that these firms have the stress test of course came out and fifteen and nineteen banks passed is there any way to believe that these banks are healthy if we don't know what and realize losses on loans they have or what kind of overstating it assets they've done that's my question for you. well no i think the person i'm very skeptical i've long been very skeptical of these stress tests and here the fed went through this exercise and this time we have a really serious in our it was sort of built off of the idea as your euro zone crisis the stock market would go down fifty percent and so forth and so when you have these banks pass i'm sorry you know we don't buy it now i mean if you have if you had a european bank fail which would probably happen in that would be one of the consequences of the dire scenario the markets are so interconnected that it's very diff

the big one. the big one. the big one will fall faster, yeah? yeah. do you have any friends that swim? do you have any friends that are like competition swimmers? do you know any competition swimmers who are-- look at that. do you know any competition swimmers who are small? will this effect of scaling be useful or nonuseful to a small swimmer? two people fall off a cliff in a vacuum, big person, small person. which one hits the ground first? the same. now, two people fall off a cliff in the air, one is heavy, one is light. which one hits the ground? the heavy. i take these two balls here, one is heavy, one is light. which one went faster through the water? heavy. heavy. and the light one, honey, got to do some tricks or something to keep up with the heavy one. that's right. so big boats usually go faster than the small boats. the big fish swim smarter than fast fish. the small fish-- [laughter] you know a big fish will open up their mouth and just go, right? the little fish can't keep up. the little things have more resistance compared to their stren

banks that are too big to fail are too big to exist. but we also got to look at what banks and what corporations are too big to be held accountable. because if they're too big to be held accountable, how are we going to have a functioning economy that allows workers and everyday people to get their fair share. but also a democracy that flourishes and allows people to engage and have real power and decision making. >> but in the spirit of milton friedman, one of your former chicago residents, the only accountability corporations have in the free-market system is to make as much profit as they can for their shareholders. >> and we have to change that. >> how would you change it? >> i think there's two things. one, you know, when corporations were originally created in america, they actually had to demonstrate a public purpose that you were going to serve. and you could make profits. but you also had to say, "we're going to do this good thing for the public." so how do we move back towards that? but there's also an interesting movement tha

they want a very big win here. they think a big win here in imill and certainly it looks like a state where romney can pull that off, at least on the face of it, would begibb to send that signal that the romney camp has been trying to send for past couple of weeks, which is time for us all to get together now, what they would like is to hear from some of those mainstream republicans, some of those folks out there with sway going, you know what? it's time for us republicans to all gather around, find our nominee, and then move into where it really counts which is the fall election. they would like a big enough vote that would begin to send that signal and that would also a little bit immunize them from what may be a loss in louisiana saturday, one of those deep south states where santorum and gingrich tend to do very well. they want to brush off alabama and mississippi an inoculate themselves against louisiana and have a really big vote here around try to bring this thing kind of to a close. won't happen tomorrow bu

many big banks were the big winners today, with the exception of goldman sachs and citi. investors gobbled up bank stocks. there were also big moves in insurance stocks, retailers and gold miners. let's start with the k.b.w. bank index, which tracks 24 of the biggest financial firms. it rose 1.3% as investors had a chance to react to generally positive results from the federal reserve's stress tests. bank of america was the biggest mover in the dow today. shares of the nation's biggest bank rose more than 4%, hitting levels not seen since last summer. as we reported, the bank passed its stress test, a relief to many investors. american express shares jumped almost $2, or 3.5%, after it announced a stock buyback worth $4 billion. the shares are now trading at pre-financial crisis levels. but the fed's stress test results took a toll on many insurance stocks. investors now fear the industry's biggest names will face tighter capital requirements. met life was the biggest loser in the s&p 500 index. the shares fell $2.30, or almost 6%, after its plan for a buyback was rejecte

i thought that was a big headline. >> that is a big headline. not the headline he wants out of the plan. >> of course not. >> it goes to the heart of how we know the bipartisan deal can work. that was part of the bowles-simpson idea. you can close loopholes and raise revenue. that should be a win-win. only in washington is that not a win-win. we're back to the broad argument. the bad news is the lost opportunities from the bowles-simpson commission, to the supercommittee. >> the supercommittee. >> super fail. >> thanks very much. well, we talked about the two tax rates that he has proposed, 10% and 25%, social issues, the entire conversation available on our blog. please let us know what you think of the different aspects. we want your feedback. >>> ahead, what would happen if israel attacked iran? well, the united states military staged a war game simulation of that exact thing. we'll tell you what ended up happening. >>> 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked mexico today. cnn has reaction from those there and amelia earhart has been missing for 75 y

if they're too big to fail, they're too big to exist. and let's start right with that proposition. >> you've described what other people have called the financialization of the american economy, the growth in the size and the power of the financial industry. what does that term mean to you, financialization? and why should we care that it's happened? >> because what it means is that a massive amount of resources are being devoted, being allocated or being channeled into pure financial speculation that has no gain to society as a whole, has no real economic contribution to the process by which gnp is created, gdp is created and growth occurs. by 2007, 40% of all the profits in the american economy were coming from finance companies. 40%. historically it was 15%. so the financialization means that as we attracted more and more resources and capital, and we made speculation easier and easier, and we funded it with almost free overnight money, managed and manipulated by the fed, that's how the economy got financialized. but that is a casino.

his big vision how to attack what he keeps insisting is the country's big problem.aster recovery he says. it's quite understandable. it's called arithmetic. if you want to cut the debt, you have to cut spending. big time. if you have to chop off government programs big time. what will he chop off? defense? are you kidding? he attacks obama for shrinking defense spending. chop off federal interest payments on the debt? can't do that it's called default. default is what we're afraid will happen in europe. what do you mean we can't pay what we owe? well, okay, eliminate social security and medicare benefits? can't do that. the government owes that money and nobody will refuse to pay it. nobody. certainly not a republican given that party's record on social security. so what's romney talking about? what is he talking about right now? ear marks, and other mickey mouse stuff. why doesn't he come out with a plan to cut the debt? because he doesn't want to. he's ready to add to the debt. look at him last night. he went on television after the results to say he wants to elim

three yards and a cloud of dust. >> big, big delegate win tonight. this was important for us because we're counting delegates between idaho, massachusetts, virginia and santorum's problems in ohio. so but it's not dramatic. and it's not a coalescing in any way shape or form around mitt romney. it's kind of a grudging sort of -- across the finish line. >> he has a terrific organization compared to the three other opponents and he's got a lot more money. >> he's got a lot better organization and he did run once before. he's a much more mature candidate than then. >> the fact that he was on the virginia ballot and santorum was not and newt gingrich was not and the fact that santorum couldn't even get on all of the ballots in ohio. >> absolutely. i think that's right. and santorum continues to have a campaign that's underfinanced and not as organized as it should be. but the other thing that, wolf, that's starting to happen is that president obama is starting to get much more directly involved in campaigning almost directly against these guys. what's pre

eric, a big win, a big night. there's no denying that. but we've had a few of these. then the oxygen, something gets sucked out of the balloon. how significant do you guys think tonight is for your campaign? >> well, it's 21 states now, piers that governor romney has won. 21 states and territories. he has half the delegates he needs to secure the nomination. if you look at the math and if you understand how delegates are allocated and you understand the upcoming contests on the calendar, there really is no opportunity for mitt romney's opponents at this point to make up the ground that they need to make up to overtake him in the delegate count. so we feel very confident. >> newt gingrich has come out with a soon to be cheerily statement tonight saying that basically you can't have a nominee that out spends his rivals 7-1. i didn't quite understand why you couldn't? i must say. it seems to me that the one thing you have to concede about mitt romney, whether you agree with him or not, is that he has run the best campaign. he has the most money. he has the best infrastru

a big move lower. the gold trust exchange traded fund. why don't you think this is a buying opportunity? >> well, if the federal reserve chairman has actually taken quantitative easing off the table, this is a strong backing for the uds dollar, and obviously, the relationship between gold and the u.s. dollar has been a prominent one over 12 months. and secondarily, until you can buy a big mac and frefrp frys with a exceled to coin, it doesn't have a place in our portfolio. >> tom: how about grains? you like grains. dba. the trend has been lower over the past 12 months. are you looking >> we've had low carry out across the grain complex combineed with warm weather in south america. at these lower levels, we're interested in the longer term picture for food. >> you still see dmroebl demand increasing? >> i think that's right, and that synchronizes with the global recovery as a backdrop. that's really why and where we see food, and does have san appropriate place in the portfolio. >> tom: natural gas inveories ve been at record levels. ung i

liz, how big a problem for the president?k it could be a problem for the president, and obviously they're worried enough about it that you saw him talking about it in his weekly address. he's talking about calling for oil companies to improve efficiency. newt gingrich has been hammering this issue in the last couple weeks, and he's been really. >> chris: 2.50 a gallon gasoline. >> he's mocking president obama as president algae in a way that only newt can. there are some indications he's picking up movement in the polls. they're a bit all over the place, so we'll see. we'll see if this message really works. i think on the other hand i will say we've had so much volatility in gas prices over the last several years that i feel like consumers to some extent have seen this movie before. although no one likes higher gas prices, i wonder if there's a bit of a cushion where people think it's up high now, it's seasonal, it may go back down. i don't think there's quite the sense of its up high and it will never go back down necessaril

on tuesday, two big states mississippi and alabama. let's bring in the host of abc's "this week," george stephanopoul stephanopoulos. >> it's an important key state for republicans and it was a very big win there for rick santorum. neither newt gingrich and mitt romney, once they saw the writing on the wall, they didn't play that hard in the last few days. romney is still claiming when you add up all of the delegates in wyoming, in those pacific territories, in kansas, that he actually gained more delegates than rick santorum and either way he still has twice as many as rick santorum right now. >> let's look forward to tuesday, two big primaries, coming up, alabama and mississippi. throughout this race, the big question is, when can rick santorum sew this up? >> if mitt romney wins in either mississippi or alabama that's almost certainly going to increase the pressure on rick santorum and newt gingrich to get out. both of them are saying they're going all the way to tampa. they're not going to get out. that would be a big surprise if r
