i see for example in the balkan region what happens. remember, the about the region during the previous regime's -- balkan region during the , it was veryme's similar, more similar to the middle east. after some really difficult time of civilian war, today you have a completely different balkan region. they dream of being part of the eu, part of nato. they speak with you not about the palestinian issues, but about trade, export, in poor, investments. the import, investment. when people are involved in economic development, they do not need incitements, terrorism or other issues. >> can we have a microphone for dennis ross? >> this is not a hard one, just a straightforward one. you mentioned that in the last couple of months you have paid the salaries of most of those from the palestinian authority. that comes from the duties you collect on goods that come in from the palestinian authorities. will you withhold 7% of revenues -- 70% of revenues in response to what just happened, or will you continue to provide those moneys that create the

somewhere in between, jim, the reality is that the pace of drilling continues to grow out of the balkan's a great reservoir, and it's very high quality crude. i think that producers in the area have cracked the code as far as being able to drill up economically and there's probably a lot more room to run in the balkan. >> where is all this natural gas going to go? because the guys from dominion is out nine years wrchlt is all that natural gas going to end up? >> the natural gas from canada will end up in asian markets. if you think about gas as a long-term fuel that really is going to be, i think a fuel of choice. so exporting natural gas is going to be part of it. certainly feeding the petro chemical demands in the u.s. is going to be a good story. >> thank you for coming and talking to the "mad money" viewers. >> this is the most subsequent best growth pipeline story, you keep raising the dividend, you can take a look at their long-term plan, i like these guys so much. i president and ceo of embridge. stay with cramer. >>> coming up, are you ready to get charged up? cramer cranks of t

military particularly the air force defeated geography in the balkans. it turns out the army did well despite of, and the successful conclusion to the war in bosnia and kosovo were a factor in allowing nato to expand to the black sea although nobody really wrote to that. and what is really the success of the balkans and a panel and we were bloodied to bits in somalia that made people think we can do anything. and that's when geography got its revenge in the mountains and the desert sahara and afghanistan because the transformative moment for me i was embedded with the first battalion of the marine. en and coo eight in march of 2004 we were making an overland journey with several hundred miles to fallujah and it wasn't yet on the news, the battle of fallujah was still a month away, the first battle of fallujah and all we did this transport one marine battalion from one place to another, it wasn't particularly dangerous, but the statistics were absolutely immense. gas stations, mountains of water models, tool kits, the meals ready to eat. it was just immen

most of that thanks to eog's huge positions in the balkan and -- incredible production growth.f north america ever gets energy independence we will look back at eog as being responsible for that development. eog has given a nice 14% gain since we spoke with the ceo in may. even though it's a few point off its high i think it's pretty darn cheap. on a growth basis. with a 22% long term growth record, rates you don't usually speak of oil companies like a drug company or like a big industrial growth company but these guys are. let's talk to mark pappa chairman and ceo of eog resources. welcome back to "mad money." >> good afternoon, jim. >> all right. you got a chart in your most recent presentation says u.s. horizontal crude oil growth 2005 to 2012 equal 80% of crude oil production. isn't this chart a chart of almost everything that you've done? because how many other companies have your growth in those two fields? >> well, it is true that we're the ones that found those two horizontal plays. and we have the best position and the largest producer in the eagle third and one of the

produce two the bad part is that passing the clean air act in 1990, stopping the genocide in the balkans, creating the 9/11 commission and the department of homeland security, informing the intelligence community, we are commencing the night and repealing "don't ask, don't tell" all were achieved only because the critical mass of democrats and republicans found common ground. and that is what is desperately needed in washington now to solve our nation's biggest problems and address their biggest challenges before they become crises or catastrophes. our future also depends on our nation continuing to exercise another kind of leadership and that is leadership beyond our borders. this has never been easier popular americans have rarely been eager to untangle ourselves abroad, especially at times when we faced economic difficulties at home as we do now. there's been a temptation to turn inward, to tell ourselves the problems of the world are not our responsibility or we cannot afford to do anything about them. in fact, the prosperity, security and freedom of the american people depend more t

war crimes crimes against humanity genocide in the balkans if such an institution had not been created on the ad hoc basis by the u.n. security council and had that kind of event unfolded more recently rather than back in the nine hundred ninety s. i think we would have very much seen that type of dispute being handed over to the i.c.c. so in that case the i.c.c. would have been intervening in a in europe and not just in africa ok but judge the united nations security council particularly western powers won't let that happen. no of course not and what we've already seen from those ad hoc tribunals is that the last thing that they deliver is impartial justice and the notion that somehow well there's nothing really wrong with it or that this is a baby steps towards the final goal is an absurdity i mean we've seen of the i.c.t. why. only the serbs have been indicted and convicted and where as the non serbs our nato allies are largely either not been indicted or who we are they ready to go it is now at the end i could let me finish please let me finish at the i.c.c. we have already seen th

the dynamics are completely different because the dominant power in the balkans. where in the south caucasus where the region that with huge influx with turkey, russia, all competing. this region is vitally important for the outcomes of russia, iran, iran and turkey. so thank you for calling attention to these two policies. as part of that integration i think u.s.-iran policy can benefit if the south caucasus were integrated into these policies. one as you point out is the sanctions regimes. these countries are crucial to the sanctions regime both on the negative and positive. the countries like azerbaijan to fully implement the sanctions, watchdogs for the united states by doing a very important job. but the countries that don't have been at the sanctions is the loophole is a danger to an i think especially we see this in the noncovered territories, their financial institutions, moving of gold, it's a real black hole for the sanctions. i hope the u.s. will pay attention to monitor into both these gaps. another point is the u.s. congress, we should work harder to

the balkan countries got out of the mess and now they are doing well economically because they cut, nott cut spending in the washington sense of increasing it at a slower rate they spent less one year after the other and now they are out of the trouble. if you understand the right definition of austerity is the way to go, the problem is in most of europe it means higher taxes, obama wants to give us the bad part of europe, without the good part. >>neil: thank you very much. they are not cutting anything. just slowing the growth. rebound and former president bill clinton hitting the links. this is a photo from last year. what we don't know what was said teen them this year my guest homes the former president was critiquing more than just his successor's swing. art laffer was the top reagan economic adviser and you voted twice for bill clinton because his prosecutor mix of taxes. explain that? >>guest: yes i sure did. but for the raise hikes at top end, he cut taxes on the working people between ages of 65 and 72. he cut taxes on trade and products. he cut government spending as a share g
