earned millions and millions of dollars from baby einstein videos and nike commercials featuring kobe bryant late princeton professor. the last time we saw martin cribbs, he was working up a campaign to resurrect the mildly scandalous career of hollywood siren mae west for a pitch to stationers and perfumers. unlike agents for the living, he was at peace knowing that he didn't have to worry about her next movie bombing, or his client getting sent off to rehab, or the headaches of having to deal personally with the notorious diva, maria callas. are there advantages to representing people who are dead? >> cribbs: absolutely. if you owned a cosmetics company and you have invested a million dollars in maria callas, i can guarantee you there's not going to be any wardrobe malfunctions or embarrassing photographs getting out of a limousine in front of la scala without any underwear on. so that's a huge advantage. >> kroft: mark roesler's stable of departed stars has grown in the past few months. he's added, among others, eartha kitt, robert culp, and donald o'connor. robert sillerman is no longer

respects one through four, parts six telesimbingg d three and part five in which justices suter, bryant joined and in respect to part six d 4. breyer, justice, file and opinion to concur, as to parts one and two, scalia, justice, filed a dissenting opinion in which thomas and alito joined. thomas justice filed an opinion in which others joined except for parts two, three b one. roberts, the chief justice took no part of the consideration or the decision of the case. i mean, that's -- i think the one thing you can be clear about in the setting like that is roberts took no part in the decision of the case. and if we are trying to say that the law, that the rule of law, provides a set of boundaries in which people can make decisions with confidence, and in the defense of the united states of america, we need for the executive branch to have a set of rules that they can -- in which they can operate confidently. if we can't operate confidently, what does it give to our enemy? it says to the enemy, it suggests to them we are morally ambiguous, it says to them we don't know how we're operating

although kobe bryant may feel consultant. -- may feel insulted. le blanc james makes about $40 million a year with endorsements -- lebron james. the thing lebron james, how many seasons would have to play to get $1 trillion? 25,000 seasons at $40 million would be $1 trillion. one reason people are not as angry as they are is the numbers are so huge. a saying in washington to $1 trillion is the new billion. what we started talking on the show about the budget 10 years ago, we were talking about billions. now talking about trillions. the other day i saw this wonderful bumper sticker and said, thank god obama does not know what comes after a trillion. these politicians are spending money like it is monopoly money. host: what about -- is there room in your view for defense cuts? guest: there is. no question. if i were president obama's economic czar, the first thing i would do is exactly the opposite of what paul krugman recommends. i would call for a 15% across- the-board reduction in spending -- every government agency. then i would freeze the spend
