[laughter] ponzi which had been established as this concept all of a sudden now had been replaced by madoff. and we found it disturbing. if so-called jewish-owned new york times as we read that in the conspiracy view found it necessary -- for some reason we still don't know because i've had an exchange of core response. when the story broke in the new york time on the front page twice was reference to mr. madoff's jewishness and in the full story three times. and why? what importance did it have then? later it had importance because jews were victims, because jewish charities -- but not when the story broke, not when the indictment was raised. do they write about other people's religions when someone is accused of fraud? and the answer is, no. but then it became of a special concern to us because the concept, the issue of jews and money, jewish greed, the conspiratorial view of jews hoarding money, l

madoff. mr. madoff, all of the sudden people forgot ponzi was not a jewish name. ponzi which has been established as the concept all of the sudden now had been replaced by madoff. we found it distinguishing if the so-called jewish owned "new york times" as we read that in the conspiracy of the view. found it necessary for some reason we still don't know. because i've had an exchange of correspondence, when the story broke in "the new york times" on the front page twice was reference to mr. madoff's jewishness. in the full story three times. why? why importance did it have then? later it had importance because jews were victims and jewish charities. not when the story broke. not when the indictment was raised. do they write about other people's religions when someone is accused of fraud? the answer is no. but then it became of a special concern to us because the concept, the issue of jews and money, jewish greed, the con -- jews lusting to get power, power to get money, all of the sudden became an avalanche on the internet. in ways that we have never seen it before

madoff was done. the anti-somatic response that the newspaper, the palm beach approach received was so huge that they were unable to manage at and the only decision they could make was to send out an announcement that they will no longer entertained on the internet and if others relating to middaugh because the majority of the letters were anti-semantics and only recently there's another case in florida for the "miami herald" made reference to a gentleman who did exactly the same thing. it's part of our sub culture. it's part of our sub culture in this country. how often do you hear jewing? that's unacceptable, or to treat the stereotype that doesn't -- shouldn't be. and the anti-defamation league, an organization unprivileged ahead. i'd be perverse to head a package they asked me. [laughter] one organization at a time.

russia has been criticized for politicizing the case but putin says compared to financier bernie madoff's one hundred fifty years fourteen years is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. and last but not least twenty eight hundred feet from both ladies and gentlemen to be organized manner. it was a nail biting way to the announcement with russia and england going head to head to the very end with. little sasha secured the bid with his big dreams of football and england secured headlines by dubbing russia's win a fix from both of my heart saying q prime minister putin only went to zurich after the announcement saying he didn't want to pressure fi fuck all david cameron back to him and prince william weren't enough to bring the world cup home to england. russia didn't let those sort of losing rain on their parade winning the right to host the world cup certainly goes down as one of the most enjoyable moments of the year but that does it for our look at twenty turns top tam harmonies and now away and from all of us here at r.t. happy new year stay with us for the top of dance in twenty eleve

otherwise he could get a term but the way happened with khodorkovsky and as was the case with bernie madoff he got a longer sentence of which you talk about the need for more political competition to modernize the russian economy. how can you fight corruption in the government if there is no real opposition to the opposition political opposition in russia isn't allowed to exist. by the national right to political opposition in russia does exist the question is how strong it is but there are four political parties represented in the russian parliament which sometimes really do when the government has been formed by the leading political force for the middle and they criticize the government clamor against it and so on and just the way it happens in the rest of the world but another thing is that we currently have just one powerful political force which controls the situation in the parliament and i mean there are negative side but it's obvious that there are positive signs too late in the ninety's president boris yeltsin could not adopt any law because the communists or other parties were bl

someone who just wants to be respected, of course he is bernie madoff. bernie madoff wants to be respected but isn't care about whether he deserves the respect he is getting. and honorable person was to be respected but wants to be respected because she is entitled to the respect. i think that that means when you care about something when you have the value like scholarly values or the respect we have for great artistic achievement one way you've managed that, your respect for that value is by honoring those who achieve eons the norm in that domain are going deed i wouldn't understand someone who said i respect the value of music that i don't respect the people who are good at it. what would that mean? so honoring great exes, athletes, musicians, scholars, nurses who go above and beyond the call of duty in their work as nurses and so on, honoring those people, soldiers who do not just what they have to do but go way beyond what they have to do, honor is the ideal way of response to these people. think about this. we ask soldiers to do things that you cou

the title that comes first of somebody just wants to the respective first is somebody like bernie madoff. but he doesn't care if he deserves it the honorable person wants to be that because they are entitled to that respect and that means when you care about something with the respect that we have a great statistic achievements one way to manifest is by honoring those who would achieve beyond the norm in that domain. i would not understand i respect them music but those who are a good at it? what does that mean? honoring great athletes nurses to go with the call of duty and honoring those people, soldiers, not just what they have to do, we ask soldiers to do things the possibly could not require them to do because offering your life is not something you can require someone to do. but if soldiers are willing to risk their lives so we cannot but several not giving their lives you have to punish them for what they have to do. nor is it possible to get people to risk their lives over money. i suppose if we said to every soldier for a billion dollars or a medal of honor some would take the mo

caller: he is the hero that exposed bernie madoff. in the book it talks about how wall street is fixed against the little guy. guest: i did not read his book, although i am a fan of his. he was extraordinarily persistent in complaining to the fcc about malfeasance with madoff, and frankly, was not listened to. there was a huge failure at the sec that still needs to be examined and redressed. he is a hero in our economy. i will undertake to read the book and a valley with his criticisms. certainly, there are problems on wall street, always has been. i appreciate your recommendation. host: "the new york post" has a piece about how republicans planning to cut $100 billion. i am wondering, from the chamber's perspective, what area do you want republicans to leave alone beyond infrastructure? guest: 1, two, three are going to be infrastructure. beyond that, there are a number of areas where we have to continue to invest. on the energy side, we have been supported in the past of subsidies for some areas of energy examination and exploration

boerne and, bernie madoff, ben bernanke, that is why it is going to take us a why to get back to five to six percent unemployment. by structural change i mean more than just having a lot more demand .. we have job openings without people that can fill them, and we have people who have skills or a are living in places to work where they are going to have to move and get new skills to meet the job needs of the future. we have too many companies in some industries and not must have in other industries. we have a lot of industries that are miss priced still. what they charge for their products or what the labor rates are not consistent with what the market demands and until those things change and they do change slowly, we really can't get back into the kind of equilibrium we need in order to have robust growth. >> rose: to get to five or six percent unemployment in five or six years, we have to grow at what rate? >> we are going to need three to four percent growth rate, which is probably as much as we are going to be able to get going for the next, you know, intermediate period, and tha

. -- bear ney madoff. an honorable person wants to be respected because she's entitled to the respect. and i think that that means that when you care about something, when you have a value like scholarly values and the respect we probably all have for artistic achievements, one way you manifest your respect for that value is by honoring those who are, who achieve beyond the norm in that domain. indeed, i wouldn't understand someone who said i respect the value of music, but i don't respect the people who are good at it. what would that heene? mean? so honoring great athletes, musicians, scholars, nurses who do, go above and beyond the call of duty in their work as nurses and so on, honoring those people -- soldiers who do not just what they have to do, but go way beyond what they have to do -- honor is the ideal way of responding to these people. think about this. we ask soldier to do things that you congress possibly require -- couldn't possibly require them to do because offering your life is not somethi

, what their track record looks like, be very, very careful and one of the things we learned from madoff> smishin and vishing. >> somebody sends you an e-mail where somebody pretends to be your bank and asks for information and you're supposed to send it back to them online. smishing is where they do that over a text message and vishing is where they do it over skip. you always want to be the one contacting them. you need to contact your bank for anything, you pull out your atm card and you call the number on the back of that card. not some number you get in a text message or you get in an e-mail or on skype. >> with unemployment hovering near 10%, this is a big scam too. >> people saying we can find you a job, we have a list of jobs that isn't listed anywhere else. by the way you have to pay us for that list. again, not something you have to do. there are recruiting services out there and they tend to pay employers for finding you not the other way around. >> nobody's going to pay you to stuff envelopes rvel senvelopes. if you have real skills that you can use from home in order to earn

when this was being debated said it is a ponzi scheme of the highest order, something that bernie madoff would be proud of. it has a tailoff that will create deficits in the outyears and make the financial picture that we face even worse. there are so many things about this bill that argue for us to start over and do it right. i want to say this morning, madam president, because i want to focus specifically on the issue of spending and debt. much has been made of the fact that we're going to have a vote on march 4, the continuing resolution expires at which point we'll have to decide what to do in terms of funding the government. i hope that debate or the leadup to that vote sparks a debate about spending. because if we don't start getting spending under control, this problem that we have continues to snowball. we have a $14.3 trillion debt. and the other point i would make is there's another big in late march or early may, in the april time frame most likely where we're going to have to raise the debtly. we're at $14.3 trillion in debt as a nation. we're going to have to extend the nati

what about madoff? you can't blame one person. this guy was mentally ill. we have to remember that.s mentally ill. we need to come together as a country, get through this and perhaps we can, the rhetoric, we can kind of, you know, slow down on the name calling and things like that. i believe we can do that, you can't blame anybody. >> okay. >> caller: for this. >> okay. keeping an eye on the pema county sheriff department. they will have a live briefing coming up in a few minutes. they describe jared loughner as mentally unstable and point out overnight that the 22-year-old may have been acting with an accomplice. you may have seen some of the photos the sheriff's department released on a number of websites asking for information on that. at this briefing, we'll hear from robert muller, the direct offer of the f.b.i. and overseeing the overall investigation. we heard from the president yesterday from the state dining room. he's here in washington this weekend. statements from the vice president and the congressional leadership. bill from mansfield, ohio, go ahead, please. >> caller:

we have had hundreds of people after bernie madoff and after concerns about this and other exchange activities. those are on the chopping block and they would be at risk if the republicans have their way. >> they are going to rue the day they cut enforcement. if you talk to most people in the market, they want a strong sec so that the bad guys do not dominate the market, but the people obey the rules and treat people fairly big. >> you keep saying watch them and what they say and what they do. >> the voters, when they do not have jobs or health care, they do not see us and them. they just see congress. >> we would like to have some bipartisan agreement on how to deal with these issues. when they open up on a day like this, they do not seem to be doing much in terms of bipartisanship. we will have concrete plans soon on jobs, on the economy, on reducing the deficit and making america grow. we will talk about those shortly. thanks everybody. host: [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2010] >> whites live coverage of the house

putin said that khodorkovsky's present punishment is more liberal than the 150 prison sentenced to madoff. citing the years of advocacy, the very respected publication "the economist" explained that it was a slap in the face of all those foreign dignitaries who lobbied medvedev to stop persecuting khodorkovsky. i agree with the comments contained in the publication of "the economist." in a democracy courts are independent and the executive branch acts as a second branch of government with no say in final court decisions. prime minister putin's statement demonstrates that this separation does not exist in russia. as if the khodorkovsky verdict did not make it clear enough that opposition would not be tolerated in russia, russian authorities arrested opposition leader, former deputy prime minister boris nemzov on new year's eve. this took place during a reportedly peaceful antigovernment rally in moscow approximately 70 others were also arrested. a moscow court sentenced former prime minister nemoff for allegedly disobeying police. this arrest was a tremendous disappointment, but it certain

madoff had been convicted and sentenced to 150 years. we have to see from the fact that the crimes were proven in a court of law in the case of mikhail. the head of the security service is in prison for murder. they did not like the mayor of the city. there was a woman here in moscow who would not give them our premise is that they wanted to take, so they killed her. the killer that they hired, was also killed. the head of the security service did it at his own initiative? committed all those crimes at his own initiative? there is a court. our record is one of the most humane in the world. i proceed from things that have been proven in a court of law. as the program was being prepared, there were appeals for me to come and take care of all the problems. >> perhaps the writers were inspired by your road trip where you went to places in russia where no prime minister had ever tread. you met with local residents and discuss problems.
