have been blessed to work with a lot of strong women, but the answer is not to pass a trial lawyer bonanza. this has everything to do with a political show vote for the democrats and paying off the trial lawyers who were among the biggest funders of the democratic party. and they are using women to hide what they are really trying to do. >> senator, you're not hiding what you want to do about erin and intending to send one of the original hostage tankers as an ambassador to this nation. you want to put a stop to that stuff, but be careful with what senator cruz tells you. other nations could be picking apart who should be representing us? what do you think? >> this is a moment of unity on iran. and we have seen a moment of clarity on iran. iran made a decision and there the u.n. ambassador who participated in holding american hostages for many, many days. that was designed to be a slap in the face. but i'm proud that the united states senate in a bipartisan fashion passed legislation that i introduced, it passed 100-0. we had the support of democrats like chuck schumer, pat leahy, we came

. >> what about bonanza? there is an argument in that.ybe between this , i think there was a time when the bible was a great resource for hollywood to make these epic movies. was a stretch where there was a little bit of rebellion tight religion we saw havevies which may be just th n distanced families. vinny seawell respected pastors been youe -- well -- see well respected pastors who have become producers. back,the folks who direct, produce, starr and these films need to buy in? is it just another movie? what no with a great example -- was a great example. they took their own license. there was a lot of backlash because of that. as a film director you can say this is a movie. this is my interpretation. we are doing some hollywood set to push away from that. there are people who will get angry when he tackled the subjects. you better be ready. having a game plan. isn't it a positive? all press is good rest. the fact that people are going to fight about the something to talk about. people at and, when brunch table love to argue over faith

last time again that much, two years ago, after tim cook at announce the bonanza of cash return to shareholdereasing dividends, increasing buyback, and splitting its stock 7-for-1. you wonder how long before -- >> the world is coming to an end at $400 a share. >> no, it is not, actually. >> so typical. >> remember these moments? amazon is done, they are finished. >> and bank of america at $4.78. probably going to zero right now. probably not. be happy. worry, global center banks are plowing -- >> are you talking to me? banks global central lowered money into the system according to our next guest, former of credit suisse, now one of the heads of the bahamas-based celtic investment. great having you appear from the bahamas. how much central-bank stimulus still need to get this local economy back on track/ isliquidity growth right now running about zero percent year on year, so we are affecting the cover -- over the coming months were to start to improve. real global, if we look at that equation, it should improve. even if we assume that the feds stay on the current course, you look at the peopl

there's also the so-called paycheck fairness act, which really you ought to call the trial lawyers' bonanza bill. this is nothing more than a gift to the trial bar. as i said earlier, gender-based pay discrimination was outlawed a half a century ago. it is illegal already. president obama more recently signed something called the lilly ledbetter act in 2009. here's what he said at that time. he said, "the ledbetter act ensures equal pay for equal work." well, if that's true -- and i believe it is -- then why offer this additional legislation, if it's not purely a political exercise designed to posture and perhaps distract people from the things they're upset about, like obamacare, leading into the midterm elections? well, we're now being told that unless we pass the so-called paycheck fairness act -- or the trial lawyer giveaway -- employers will be able to discriminate against women. well, that's nonsense. that's not true. i don't know how you can say it any more strongly other than to call it the lie that it is. even before the lilly ledbetter action, equal pay for equal work has been the

they also announced in this ma lip yumm it was the bond bonanza.o how long can equities outperform bonds? it's only laterally that you see inflation getting out of control and it's that inflation, once it gets above 5%, once it gets above 8%, historically, that's been the point where multiples get hit. >> and it's the point that you're making, it's overinvested in bond markets. it's a big pension fund. so do they have a choice? >> they are going to have to move away. and if you look at when a gpis, for example, in japan massively overinvested in bonds are being told by the government there they have overinvested in bonds, the shift is that rerisking of assets, we believe, is a process that is starting in japan, we'll see it in the u.s. >> that becomes a fundamental long-term support. >> absolutely. people are underinvested in the productive capacity of the global -- and then it's incumbent on companies -- >> they've got to. and investors, those asset managers have got to stop saying we want you to run yourself the cash, we want those buy backs. the

on the multiple times i have been to israel, it is a building bonanza going on in the palestinian authority. and if that's their land. more power to them. let them go and ahead to build. since when is it wrong? there is a reason why the obama administration has been accused of ks the most anti--israel american administration since harry truman recognized the american jewish state of israel in may of 1948. 11 minutes after israel declared their independence, the greatest economic superpowerhouse of the world recognized israel's right to exist. that meant something. because our strength and our wealth was behind israel. we had israel's back. thinks that tion america has israel's back today. all you have to do is look at israel's neighborhood. it has become a very dangerous place, a very dangerous place indeed. the epicenter of jihad on israel's border on syria's border. more weapons floating around today in the hands of terrorists than ever before. ,. and our secretary you of state, instead of being focused on iran obtaining a nuclear weapon, which has said it will use to murder millions of j
