this all comes under the rube rick of the alliance of the united states and israel. so as you see, multi-faceted, very deep. and i more or less knew a lot about this because i spent 30 years studying it before i got this job. i got the job and found out i knew very little. actually this relationship was more deeply root eand multi-faceted than anything i remembered or knew because there was a new area of the u.s./israel relationship and that was the commercial relationship between the united states and israel. today israel is america's 20th largest customer in the world. america does more business with israel than it does with spain, argentina, russia, saudi arabia. it's extraordinary. it's getting bigger and bigger every day. the last decade, americans have invested about $80 billion in israel development. israelis have invested more than $55 billion in the united states at a time when american firms are outsourcing to asia, israeli firms are outsourcing to the united states. many thousands of americans are employed in israeli companies here, including many in this

rubes. i used to work at delta airlines. it's a tough job.in the morning, arrived in nashville at 7:54 a.m. there would always be a guy like, "all right, buddy, you're telling me this flight leaves at 8:00 and gets in at 7:54? are you telling me this plane is going back in time?" yeah, that's what i'm telling you, doc brown. delta airlines has invented a special new time travel program. so pack your duffel bag full of mountain dew, socks and skulls. let's go, buddy. all right. then people get confused by the flights that go out west. we had a flight leaving cincinnati at 8:00. got to denver at 9:00. on the way back, the flight left at 9:00, got back at 1:00. they be like, "all right, you're telling me it takes an hour to get there but four on the way back?" bare with me, sir. have you ever heard of a wormhole? it is a rip in the space time continuum creating a vortex. just pack your duffel bag. you're getting your sky miles. whoo. sky miles, yeah. sometimes i think i need to go to therapy, but i'm also broke. they have a thing called sliding

. >> smith: and wh you talk to bankers, what justification do they offer for selling to rubes out therethese complex financial instruments that they know they don't understand? >> they'd be saying, "well, they might win." you know? i can tell you... i can tell you a client who's done that bet and did very well out of it. >> i think very few people knew what they were buying. >> smith: but if they don't know what they're buying, then somebody's failing to do their job, aren't they? >> but in a way, i think that it's more on the investor's side that the due diligence has to be done. i mean, you know, it's-it's- it's... it an open market. and so i'd put more blame on investors than on the banks that were selling them. >> smith: but who could understand these products besides the bankers? >> even the bankers didn't understand them. >> narrator: cassino ended up paying bear stearns over a million dollars in interest. the town sued the bank now owned by j.p. morgan and received a half-million dollar settlement. but it was still left in the red. >> smith: you bought bear stearns in 2008. and t

of celebrities but in both cases, he leads with that and sort of deinvolves into making fun of the rubesignorant. there is something that bothered me a little bit about that. i was looking forward to see him doing a fullly-scripted movie. the truth is it's not the same kind of high higher wire act. he doesn't have to do the same kind of improvisation. it's not nearly as memorable as borat or bruno probably. but it's also a little uneven as a comedy. it's, you know, kind of slap dash. it's got a lot of good bits of human. it's crass. there is an entire scene that takes part largely inside a part of a woman's body. so it is not a film for the squemish, but if you are in the mod for sasha's humor, you can do worse. >> how am i going to see this movie? i know carol will never go. my wife will never go. i dragged her to one of them and never again. so peter maybe you and i can go. >> let's do it. yeah. my wife ain't going either. >> there you go. all right. so you mentioned we are talking, of course here with chris orr about movies. this weekend this summer coming up, what did you like? what

. >> we did get the headlines from the parliament committee that heard testimony from rube ert and jamesly, saying the company exhibited willful blindness. it said mur dak did not take steps to become fully informed about phone hacking. this culture we consider permeated from the top throughout the organization and speaks volumes about the lack of effect of corporate governance. they came to the conclusion that rupert murdoch was not fit to run a major company. since this report came out, i've been digging through the minutes, how the politicians came to these conclusions. in most instances they were voting to use this word, whether mur ddoch was fit, they were spt down the middle and the conservatives voting against it. the word "fit" has very strong implications. their equivalent of the fcc is looking into whether the company is a fit and proper overer in beskybe. we should know the politicians did not disagree at all on the facts that three former news of the world journalists misled the committee in previous testimony. that was tom crone, les hinton, most recently the former coe of d

rube i've followed the student loan bill with great interest. there are thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people who are on student loans who are paying them back. so it is totally an issue that affects the state of florida. i have a personal interest in the student loan issue as well. i think it -- i've said this on the floor before. my parents never were able -- they worked very hard but were never able to save enough money to pay for my college. so i relied on grants and loans, both for undergraduate but especially for my law school education. came back to miami to go to law school and i am glade i went to the university of miami. if they're watching, i'm proud to have gone there. i think the education i got there, my legal education, was very good. it also happened to be very, very expensive and i relied on student loans to be able to pay that, so much so that when i graduated from law school in 1996 i graduated with a law degree and a significant amount of student debt that i had accumulated throughout seven years of studies. in fac
