( sighs ) oh, not that again. it's just sometimes we see children with repeated injuries-- i know, i know, you have to-- you have to check it out, but, just for your information, so far ben has accidentally broken my nose, cracked two of my ribs, catapulted a sharpened chopstick deep into my buttock, and pushed a peanut into my ear while i was asleep, just to see what happens. but i have never, ever hurt him... except when i swung him round and banged his head on the table. ( car alarm blaring ) ben! pajamas and teeth! yeah? and, please, can you just use toothpaste this time! do you know, i could strangle him. although, according to their records, i've probably already tried that. there is a bear in the microwave. yeah, it's like a hot water bottle. it's full of grain. karen's feeling poorly. well, that's probably a case of "my brother's getting more attention than me" -itis. jake: oh, mum? granddad called. oh, did he? how's he doin

that's democracy. >> neil: ben, what do you think of that, ben?and there's nothing wrong with unions, they're perfectly legal, being in a union is a great thing. i can tell you as the only union member in this group. nothing wrong with them spending their money. they're on their knees and beaten to a pulp by foreign competition and the industry. you can expect them to try every measure to preserve their strength. >> it's not going to work, the public sector unions aren't on their knees. >> and the governor-- >> in a couple of months, and that's where i worry about it, but listen, like i said, this is a media bias story, and the media's not covering this, in a fairway, the particularly the public sector unions have enormous power in state governments, they can do whatever they want. >> who pays their salaries? who pays their wages? the taxpayers. >> and they're extorting dues from their members to remove a sitting governor. that's insane. >> i just like stephen's selective free speech. i love that. >> and rich guy can't-- muzzle the rich dude, but

ben, what do you think about this one?it's heart breaking, makes me want to cry that students have to be bribed to go to school. it's so good for them to have an education. if they're brought up without knowing that an education is incredibly good for them and pays for itself millions of times or many, many times over, it's just heart breaking. on the other hand, maybe they are that ignorant and maybe it's worthwhile to pay them to go to school. we've got an incredible crisis within the low income, especially non-white community about education. i think we might as well try everything, but breaks my heart that's where we are today. >> dagen and the money aspect is outrageous. >> it's sad to think that they have to pay the kids to be there. >> very sad. >> because education, as ben pointed out, it's a gift and you know it and i know t i'm about to go charles payne on you, i think it's evident in some way the entitlement mea mentality that's been developing for decades. it's a privilege to go to school and you shouldn't jump

but he hit on something called "ben-hur." if you look at the novel the novel is a thinly illustrated metaphor for lou wallace. judah ben-hur is this energetic charismatic young nobleman. it's not grant who ruined his career but it is gratus. lou wallace is on -- he misses the road but ben-hur hits a roof tile and his rival it is probably henry hallek tries to destroy lou wallace-ben-hur. and only through perseverance and religion lou wallace found his god. he becomes rich and powerful and the funny thing about ben-hur was the zeal about shiloh not only made him write the novel to get even but gave him this idea that he needed to promote it. lou wallace spoke everywhere. there were 20,000 productions of ben-hur on the stage. later there would be four movies after his death. ben-hur sold 750 a week a thousand a week. in two years it was selling a million copies a year. nobody had seen anything like it. it outpaced "uncle tom's cabin." it was the best-selling fiction book in american history until "gone with the wind." it create

there were towns called ben hur, there were mugs, books with advertisements for ben hur. if you followed what loudoindur it was the precursor to "star wars," "terminator," this idea of movie or novel or play, lou wallace was reliving shilo agai. and he said -- just to give you an example of what a strange man he was, this is in 1885 where he's the best-selling author -- by the way oliver wendall holmes don't want anything to do with this guy, it's not high-breaux literature, but to -- high-brow literature, but to american people, it was the first time it was acceptable to readas sot re created the idea average family reading literature. sort of the popular account literature. ending by finding solace in ben hur i can bear later in 1900, 38 years after the battle when he's a worldwide celebrity, he says the awful mystery known as pittsburgh landing comes home more directly than to most of those engaged in it. oh, the lies, the lies told about me to make me the scapegoat to bear off the criminal mistakes of others, think of what i suffered. all of his letters are filled wit

ben. i think the important thing to understand is that a big part of what we're funding is an outward facing website so that people throughout the country that are sympathetic with occupy and want to join with the occupy movement will be able to actually make contact with occupy and engage. be able to find things that they can do locally in their own communities to participate in the movement and be part of it i think that the big. i'm sorry the big problems gone. and we're out of time i have to wrap it up but then i so honor what you're doing and it really comes to an end sometimes there you go thank you guys so much for being with us tonight and for why should and for all the great work you do i think. the occupy movement has done amazing things so far without the help of big donors but with even more resources coming in the one percent should be worried in the meantime a little ben ben and jerrys here well i think of a new flavor for the occupy movement. if you just put a picture of me

to ben stein, charles payne, dagen mcdowell along with charlie gasperino and neil weinberg. charles payne, what do you make of that. yeah, i think the-- you know, listen, this goes to a lot of things, and you think the most important part of this is, there's no vetting, this is rammed down our throats and told we were going to like it once we knew what it was about. and as we can see every single time, every other week there's something wrong. some things people probably don't know about. let's say you sell a house you're going to have to pay additional tax, 3.8% medicare, medicare tax associated with selling your house, on unearned income. >> and that's exactly. >> capital gains and dividend. >> medicare tax, and anybody making $250,000, adjusted from 1 1/2% and also, hospitals, i love this one, hospitals that spend more per elderly patients are going to get penalizing, no rationing. >> and you're looking at this and realizing people granted wavers and opt out for various reasons, maybe to address the issues they find onerous, if so many can get out, what does that tell you

ben and jerrys here well i think of a new flavor for the occupy movement. a. you just put a picture of me when i was like nine years old don't you tell the truth. i confess and i am a total get a friend that i love traveling hip hop music and pretty. much he was kind of a yesterday. i'm very proud of the will without you she has played. look. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hardy welcomes a big picture. of. your take my take is your chance to send in your comments questions rants observations about him that we talk about here in the big picture or during my radio show that i was first comment came to us from an anonymous caller on our viewer rant line here's her suggestion for promoting the use of solar power hi i would like to see president obama when he's reelected and install the solar panels back on the white house roof and by the time he leaves offi

and ben bernanke testified on capitol hill again today the big question from the media how would last weeks and good u.s. jobs report affect monetary policy while bernanke he actually said the numbers understate weakness in labor but is the debate over the monthly jobs numbers simply moot ronald reagan's former budget director says the numbers are made up so is the b.l.s. the emperor with no clothes and if so why are markets in the media going along with it and greece has agreed to lay off thousands of public workers as talks are scheduled to continue over more cuts over meeting more terms to get its next dose of troika money politicians and media are bracing for the market's reaction to any development what about the reaction of greek citizens to more austerity without any light visibility and it is dark tunnel. those protesters were chanting out with the nazis not exactly a sign of european brotherhood we'll look at the bailouts cost to society and the u.s. forty eight states have signed on to a twenty five billion dollars settlement with the five biggest banks guilty of foreclosure

>> we were all dumped by ben. >> jimmy: you were all on the show, dumped by ben? oh, my gosh.hen did this become a dumping ground? [ laughter and applause ] well, i'm sorry. how do i not know this? i think there's been too many seasons. that's what i think. either that or -- who knows? guillermo, how are you? >> doing great, jimmy. >> jimmy: great. great to hear it. the republican primaries were held in michigan and arizona today, where mitt romney found himself neck and neck with rick santorum in his own home state of michigan. santorum has been surging in the polls lately. apparently voters are responding to his message of no birth control and public schools. romney told a story about how much his pants cost. and it was the first place he tied a puppy to the big-wheel. you don't know the story? romney got an unexpected boost from kid rock last night. kid rock showed up at a romney rally and did an impromptu concert. he also endorsed porn, jack daniels and hepatitis c while he was at it. so -- [ cheers and applause ] hey, this is something i hadn't seen before. it's a short f

that dashes hopes by democrats to maintain this set held by senator ben nelson retiring. many say bob kerry, who ran for president in 1992. he's a former governor as the one chance for bob kerry to keep that seat in democratic hands. bob kerry kept plans on hold to more than a month contemplating whether to keep the seat. the lead story at this hour is how they try to work an agreement but one of the big issues is how do you pay for a proposal that costs upwards of $150 billion? among those considered a pay freeze for federal workers as well as members of congress, the house voting on that particular measure last week and approving it overwhelmingly, also making seniors with incomes of $80,000 a year paying more for medicare coverage. and also new subsidies have to pay a greater portion of the overpayments they may receive. there's a lot of criticism on this from john boehner who says he has significant concerns about whether senator democrats want to broker a payroll tax extension. you heard from congressman dave camp a moment ago. let's go into the innings between the h

ben bernanke kind of distanced himself from that. understand there's a little political theater going on, but i thought this hearing brought up a number of significant issues. when was the last time you heard a major congressman like ryan involved in many of the financial issues of the country, saying we don't have enough discipline. you keep rates low, we keep spending. very honest. >> i think i misspoke when i said theater. >> no, no, i didn't -- i'm not going to you. i thought what ryan did was amazing. >> ryan's questioning was excellent. and what was excellent about it from my standpoint as a financial reporter is he asked questions that are part of the debate in the market. we see that way too rarely in front of congress. my hat is off to ryan for the questions he asked. the point i was making is we didn't learn all that much new on his outlook on the economy or in monetary policy, because of all the stuff we got last week. and more of the focus was the political back-and-forth. >> which is why we didn't really see a market rea

so federal reserve chairman ben bernanke he testified before the senate today last week remember he testified before the house and the media that i saw today was wanting to hear if the good u.s. jobs numbers that came out since bernanke he had last spoke in would change anything about monetary policy or about what he said now remember the jobs report has been deemed good because the headline unemployment number went down a little bit to eight point three percent now bernanke he actually said this understates the weakness of the labor market in that hearing today but here's the thing do these monthly numbers even matter people who crunched them seem to say maybe not david stockman reagan's former budget director in an e-mail that's come out says you basically can pick and choose what you want from the reports to support your thesis or the trends that you want to highlight he says in short if you spend a little time with these numbers you'll know that they're being made up and this kind of echoes what others that i've been talking about this week john mauldin a financial expert was writing abou
