i told jim, who is 6'8", as you can see, to watch his head. jim didn't need any prompting from me. he's a modest guy. he has always been serious about his work, but at core he never takes himself too seriously. after that first year i had high expectations for jim, that they had been exceeded is due in no small part to the open, genero generous, modest kind of person that he is. jim, of course, is a fine lawyer, hard working and smart, but also a natural leader who inspires those around him. this ability to inspire has been evident throughout his remarkable career in law enforcement. as a decorated assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. deputy attorney general under attorney general ashcroft in the bush administration, he has achieved what one thought was the pinnacle of a law enforcement career. and now this. all of this experience, all of this past experience that jim has had makes him particularly well suited to lead the fbi as it's director. jim understands that justice in this country does not just happen because we're a great constitutional democracy.

i'm jim cramer.rrow. >>> this was a dramatic scene earlier today as a car rammed the security barrier near the white house and the driver led police on a wild chase all the way up to capitol hill. police shot and killed the driver near the capitol building. the capitol was put on lockdown. the latest right here. she did not have guns, she was unarmed, but she was using her car as a weapon. that according to police. the woman had a 1-year-old baby with her in the car, the baby was not hurt. one police officer was injured in a car crash related to the incident. we're going to have more on

come on come on go ahead jim. well unfortunately i didn't hear exactly what i was saying at the end there i mean my. my sense is that that there that well i should say first of all i mean israel has to kind of for its foreign policy strategic traditions and one is making peace with the arab world which was always the dream of the labor party and particularly of yitzhak rabin and the other was no you will never make peace with the arab world you have to arrange your alliances with the periphery and the periphery was iran and turkey most importantly and. that has been followed and tell the nine hundred ninety s. by the likud party and you'll recall that it was under a government that israel was supporting iran during the iran iraq war. and the notion that israel itself may make some strategic reassessments of its own i think is is not a fantastic one and indeed you're getting a lot of murmurs certainly from the israeli national security establishment now that the deal that people think may in fact be quite doable wi

but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®.relto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke. get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to

>>i jones, the author of a new biography on jim henson. very excited to talk to him. earlier this week we talked about how the official launch of obamacare was marred by web glitches anlong delays. but there was another major obstacle to obamacare's implementation. total dickishness. you see, obamacare for all its well-documented issues and problems is still a well-intentioned attempt to get people who have not had health insurance in this country health insurance. medicaid has traditionally covered people up to this income level. obamacare was going to cover them ostensibly down to this income level. so it was going to be the gap there, about the size of an ipad ee cement instead of an ipad it is about 8 million people living just above the poverty line so to provide health insurance for this nation's, you know, center, the federal government was going give the state government money to expand their medicaid program. for three years the state would pay for this program, i think the number was about 0. and then after that, they would pay up to 10%, i think, by the tim

jim: and rare -- ware falls on peyton. you don't want to have any clean looks at manning but that puts it back to the center of the field. he's not too happy about that. listen, you just went to the sideline and conferred with him what the play was going to be. but they have it dead in the middle of the field now. jim: i think the cowboys are going to think back on that third and 1. if he wasn't stopped far loss, then let him go in. phil: you can't make that process during the play. it was so close. only a couple of inches. jim: and now they'll be able to run it down, take the time-out and bring prate ore -- prater out for the win. prater in his career when he's had a possible late lead-changing or winning field goal attempt at the end of regulation or in overtime has never missed. he's 13-13. and this one is just going to be a chip shot after this snap. it will make it about a 28-yard ield goal attempt. well, we should have known. we both were saying all week we thought this might be in the 30's. we could have actually go

>> you know, jim, i would till you it's a popular topic.avel asia or europe, they do want to talk the american political situation and ask my opinions as well. but we're still a great country. we've still got the number one gdp and economy in the world, and it's all interconnected. we're not isolated by any means. again, being a global company, we see that firsthand every day in our business. and actually it's a great opportunity for us to be able to leverage that global scale and scope into competitive advantage where we can. >> terrific, rick. skok overreaction. it's been such a good stock in a very difficult industry. thank you so much for onlyi inc "mad money." >> thank you, jim. always a pleasure like i said. >> that was the ceo of avnet. boom. you got the dividend. business is strong and i think it's going to stay strong in 2014. stay with cramer. >>> what does a retail have to do to please investors? home depot reporting amazing numbers. costco put up 5% same-store sales. so much better than everybody else. goes down and ends up back

hi, jim, this is jim from florida via rhode island. >> okay. >> caller: i wanted your opinion on a stocke heico, aerospace, a lot of good things going for it. i'd like to buy it even on this weakness. i think it's a good one. and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the conclusion of the "lightning round." >> the "lightning round" is >> the "lightning round" is sponsored by td ameritrade. >>> what should we do with the so-called bond alternative stocks? the high yielders that thrive where the federal reserve bond buying program continues to keep the yields from fixed income artificially low? given what the capital could do to the economy, the fed might hold off on tapering for some time. consider dominion resources, the nation's largest -- one of the largest gas and electric utilities and it sports a 3.65% yield. dominion roared last month when it became clear that the fed wasn't going to ease up on the bond buying, and even after getting dinged with the rest of the market today, barely two points off of the 52-week high. it's not just a utility, though it gets 80% from the regulated utilities

ok jim i'd like to go back to you in london we learned over the last few months that the n.s.a. does not only to spy on people around the world that spies also on americans and when it comes to the united states they want to see everything everything and it's quite interesting when push comes to shove the n.s.a. has been able to mildly prove with circumstantial evidence it's foiled two keris attacks on the united states considering all of the data that is being collected so why does the n.s.a. need to watch hundreds of millions of people is it really looking after looking for terrorism or is it just watching to watch sake. i think there are two things going on here but rita is a change in power what is going on i think is that the first these agencies and politicians are very persuaded of the idea that if there are terrorist atrocities and this anything at all that they haven't done that they'll get blamed so they better just do everything possible no matter how enough. it's days and i think the second thing that's going on is that the agencies themselves see that they can manip
