think that you know bankers they go in glamorizing this idea and folks like wolf of wall street and boiler room and even michael lewis's liar's poker which is kind of like the gospel that led a lot of these people from these eyes of the institutions to wall street they expect so much and then they get there and particularly as lowly analyst they're not getting paid what they thought and yes they're getting paid a tremendous amount of money and you should have little sympathy for that but when you when you're expecting so much and you have glamorized anything whether it be your wedding all. for your new puppy you're going to be let down right i mean these people are looked at as dollar signs i mean their whole expectation is to surpass their prior year profit i know they are constantly trying there's pressure on them to maximize their bottom line if they don't do that they're looked at as what's your what greater role here why are you doing that yes you know going back to wolf of wall street i mean even though people have said that it's a little bit sensationalist is it really i feel like it's very indicative of

remember back in the '80s when "teen wolf" starring michael j. > every time we come to new york, yeah it pretty -- everyone knows where we're going to be in new york. so it is always -- this is pretty routine now. >> i get that at the car wash every once in a while. >> we brush our teeth. >> outside my shower is really weird. >> do you ever get used to that kind of adulation because they don't know you, do they? >> they don't. i think twitter made it seem like they know us. but they get into our lives. >> they're very into you. you've been on the air for -- whether four or five or six seasons. but did you know -- did you know from the beginning you had a hit on your hands? >> i was saying i said it when we shot the pilot, i think we could do six, six cycles of 12. everybody laughed a little bit. but i think we probably are going to hit it. >> you all have experience in this business. you've been around. what about you, holland? >> we're newer actors. it is great when the fans are so involved because it is not that they like us as actors. there is

i want to play you a clip from representative michael mccall, a chair of the house homeland security committee. what he told wolf blitzer today about the origin of the suspected plot. >> the plot itself originated from the leader of the chechen rebel extremists umarov where this plot actually hatched out of. there had been reports he's been killed since then. but the issue is the plot has been hatched. it is out there. you have really two threats going on. one is the aviation sector and one would be the suicide bombers within russia which i think there's a high prohibbability o will probable go off again. >> bob, if you were involved in the counter terrorist operation here, what would your biggest worry be now? >> airplanes. absolutely. the chechens have attacked airplanes in the past. they're capable of doing it. it's very difficult to protect all flights going into moscow or leaving moscow. the chechens have access to very sophisticated bombs, including ones using powder or liquids. they've got the detonators. i mean, if i were the russians, and as washington is i'd be scared of airplanes. >> in terms of the d

[ yelling ] >> others are left unsatisfied. >> i bumped those numbers up. those are rookie numbers. >> forcing us to ask the street's biggest question. how could mike make more cash? >> now, before we answer that, let's explain why buying that was better than shorting small caps. if you went short you would have made 3%. nothing to complain about. but mike's put

michael mccaul, chairman of the house homeland security committee. congressman, thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks for having me, wolf. >> as far as you know, are americans specifically being targeted in this so-called toothpaste explosives plot? >> i don't believe americans are targeted. the beef they have is really with the russians. however, if you blow up an airline, an airplane, you will have innocent civilians that could include americans. remember the leader of the northern caucuses who is leading this war against the russians that is radical islamist has called for attacks on civilians including men and women. so i don't think they're really discriminating really between americans or russians, but i do think remain a target are the russians. >> you stated specific threats, what can you tell us about these threats specifically to americans? >> well, they are specific and credible to the aviation sector. the department of homeland security warned the airlines and foreign governments this explosive compound can be put in tubes of toothpaste and kcosme c cosmeti cosmetics. so they're banning those from being brought onboard any airplane fly

now, wolf, when i said that on the radio today, many people who identified themselves as attorneys called and said michael, you're wrong. those attorneys general already have discretion. they exercise discretion each and every day. but that doesn't turn around my thinking. i'm worried about the precedent that this would set. >> michael smerconish joining us. thanks very much, michael, for that. >>> a plan for deep and significant cuts to the u.s. military budget, but some fear the cuts could turn the pentagon into a triangle. senator marco rubio will give us his take behind closed doors. president obama and the house speaker, john boehner, they're meeting over at the white house. gloria borger standing by, will give us her take on this get-together. over the next 40 years the united states population is going to grow by over 90 million people, and almost all that growth is going to be in cities. what's the healthiest and best way for them to grow so that they really become cauldrons of prosperity and cities of opportunity? what we have found is that if that family is moved into safe, clean affordable hous

interviewing michael mcfaul and he said he couldn't believe that russia would engage in something like this because it would be so destabilizing. gloria borger, very quickly, because we have to throw it to wolfdent say? >> they need to ask questions about whose forces are moving into crimea. they have denied that it is their forces and intelligence is telling them that and then he has to say that and then direct what needs to be done next, jim. >> that's it. our coverage conditions with "the situation room." >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. we're following the growing crisis in ukraine where tensions are rapidly escalating and the president of the united states, president obama is about to walk into the white house briefing room to make a major statement. the ukrainian government is accusing russian black sea forces of trying to seize two airports in crimea and cutting off communications between the russian majority region and the rest of ukraine. russian troops also
