an obama bundler. there are those who are asking the question, this bank is the only one that has been exempt to the dodd-frank rule and they're trying to figure out why. do you know why? >> i want to take exception you saying this. he is an obama bundler. he is also a significant contributor to many republicans. i apologize if this offends you this is fox biased. in fact the administration has said it is against that bill. michael grimm, republican from staten island on a the committee was main sponsor the bill. giving impression this is favor to obama is outrageously wrong. the obama administration didn't like the bill. i was approached by congressman grimm, a republican from staten island who said would i agree let the bill go to the floor out of the house without a hearing, without a committee vote. i said i don't think in substance it is a bad bill but i think it is a bad procedure. because frankly i insisted which had a hearing and had it done publicly it was republican committee brought the bill

global hey couldn't be because he was a big bundler for obama now it's just a little different again it's all the same yeah i agree obama's been wimpy on wall street but i guess what i'm asking is would it be worth with mitt romney i don't think so i think you'll be just as bad and you know this because you have congress and they're all in it together it's not going to change much what could become much worse how much worse could romney make it than obama in terms of helping out his wall street bodies is he going to give him more money yet just like obama would if we have another financial crisis you'll see the fed dump more dough into it so i don't think it will be much of a difference and you mentioned congress i have to ask you because. tween the last time i spoke with you and now we've seen jamie di men on the hill twice and if you want to get have any kind of evidence that would make you feel like no one has a political will to go after wall street just watch politicians pretty much like lining up to praise jamie diamond so i'm just wondering if you have any thoughts there about

company in finland and canada and mexico and solyndra and suppower and that these were guys, big bundlers for obama, they got all of this money, did you get bailed out? does that anger you? >> no, i hope the car company in finland's doing better because the rest of us here aren't. >> sean: with american tax dollars -- >> no, i want him to stimullize this country. i want him to keep it here and make us what we were. >> sean: how many of you think, by a show of hands if i may, we will get you in the background, i promise, how many of you think that the president really redistribution was the answer and that he tried tgave us $5 trillion in debt, how many of you think that that economic philosophy is a failure? you do. you believe it would work? >> no, i didn't raise my hand because i think it stale works. i am not -- i don't think he knows where to go right now. i think that he -- you know, got everybody excited. everybody was hopeful and now we are starting to realize that it's not the change that he promised didn't come. what else does he have to promise? i think he is now trying to... get excited

> they don't want anything. >> an example on the documents we obtain the single biggest bundler for president obamaey katzenberg. he onces equality, a lot of things. he also wants to build movie studios in china. he needs help from the administration to get that done. everybody has interest at stake. >> and you can argue some of those interests are less carcinogenic than others. >> if you look at date it in nick's story, look up this story, that document he got leaked is not the sort of thing you see floating around every day and the detail. my colleague ran through it one of the biggest industry is the tech industry, bigger than hollywood. those guys have all sorts of regulatory interests. >> those tech guys. i want to ask you this question then, we looked at the top markets in the general election where the ads are running, the number of times presidential ads have run in the last four and a half month, in las vegas, 31,000 times, cleveland 27,000 times, denver 26,000. setting aside the down ballot races where money does have a disproportionate influence, this is sort of a race to the top, there

he has a lot of things on his plate, keeping a low profile, he was a big bundler for president obama.see him around town that much. people see him maybe on offhandedly in the hamptons or breakfast with the family, but he's out of the wall street limelight. i do hear he's trieding his owning the, his own money. he trades that. by the way, i ran into a guy once who saw john corzine do something interesting off the blackberry, sitting there ten minutes trading on his blackberry. that's what's on his mind on a regular basis. back to you. liz: we should check the klout score. >> probably higher than ours. something else about klout, it has no clout. klout has no clout. liz: a lot of companies feel differently. i want to tell you about tim westergrin's company pandora. it dropped 7% last week, but up 2% today. why? last week, there was a rumor that apple may get into the internet radio space, the space that pandora has huge muscle in, 70% of the market share. i asked him today in a fox business exclusive does apple jumping into your space make you nervous? here's what he had to say? >> our

president obama is rewarding his top bundlers at the taxpayer's expense.nds that half of the president's top 50 fundraisers were appointed to a presidential committee and council. in addition those businesses received million in federal contracts and other perks. >> steve: more insults to taxpayers first. covering a sex change for a convicted murderer and now pay for his legal fees. >> brian: we love that story. michele born as robert is serving a life sentence for killing his wife in 1990. a judge ruled that he suffers from a gender identity disorder and should be allowed to have a sex change and taxpayers will foot the bill for court-appointed lawyers and fees for his legal fight could be more than one millionn dollars. >> brian: how much for hair and make up we are not sure. eight year old jayla small got herself in a biwrar and painful situation when she tried to take a sip from a water bottle. she had to have emergency surgery. >> they punched holes in the can and they had to cut the bottom off. they realized her tongue had swollen. >> brian: she's on

obama's delivery. >> the donors and bundlers that i have spoken to are now almost to a man and woman estranged from himy they are dealing with a different man. what you see is what you get. in private, and public, he is a warm empathetic man. no difference. stuart: ed klein, we appreciate you being with us. come see us again. thank you, sir. did they think we would not notice? they made changes to the platform evolving jerusalem. it is and will remain that capitalism of israel. all of those things were in the platform in 2008. per the and it obama got 70% of the juice boat. will those voters and donors abandoned him because of this? doug, what do you say? >> there will be a drop in support. the fact that a terrorist organization is not condemned is an equal counterweight. i think obama will still win a solid majority. in states like florida and ohio, this could tip the balance in a close election. stuart: president obama will forgive a billion dollars of debt and egypt. could this be conceived of as a tilt away from jewish israel to islamic comic egypt and the middle east? >> i think it could be. we ha

obama. why is this? jon corzine, the head of mf global, former goldman sachs ceo, former new jersey governor, new jersey u.s. senator was also a major campaign bundlerresident. it would be very embarrassing even if -- forget about an indictment, suppose he got a civil charge before the -- liz: wouldn't it be equally as embarrassing to give her immunity if it turns out -- i'm not saying of course that this was the case that she really was the one who did the wrong thing, couldn't that be what's holding it back? >> yeah, i mean they don't want to go that far out, but you know there's a lot of evidence, either just what people are saying that he was kind of in the mix, you know, from what we understand -- liz: the ceo, how could he not be? >> well, he was known as -- [inaudible]. that's the i didn't know anything defense he was trying to put out there. i'm up here. while he was at goldman, he was called fuzzy. he was the most absent minded ceo -- liz: oh okay. >> he's trying to say i'm up here and all these guys are doing the real work down here. if you look at the evidence that's come out, he's in the e-mail flow. the commissioners will be giving new
