11:02 pm
there was unity 2008, other folks have approached me. i am more than willing to listen. >> what you think of those who who have initiated and been targeted by the erez? >> i don't look at these things. i'm not paranoid to say that what is happening on the republican side, i'm not buying it. honestly, i'm more on the side that it's not a scandal. because i think that goes to the purity. whenever you take something and you take on 100 actions, you can anecdotal lives eyes and create any kindf story that you want. >> there was a pattern that. >> yes, there are multiple patterns. when you have 10,000 instances, it's the signal and the noise. you can find 100 and call it a pattern that it's not really one. but more importantly, i'm not trying to dismiss what anyone's
11:03 pm
doing. more importantly, if you go out and you accomplish things, if we are going out there and congress is doing things, all of those things become farther and fall to the wayside. it's just that when everyone has to be so pure in everything that they are doing, they like to victimize themselves because it helps confirm their purity. i've been picked on as an example. >> you are a big supporter of the president? >> yes. i think that he is a very smart guy. >> he is smart enough to understand and i've had a problem with him, but i generally support what he has done in a big way. but i think transparency is important. and i think we live in a time when there is so much technologil opportunity we

11:28 pm
neil: out of all my interviews with bill gates, the one that you are about to see is the most meaningful and consequential. because he is worrying about the good that we do as a country, threatened by a paralyz washington that is doing nothing at all for our country. bill gates has a few choice words for republicans are handing out foreign aid. >> a lot of it was not well
11:29 pm
directed. and so sending money to people who are on our side versus thir side, you know, that's what it was about. now it has become metric driven. can you literally save lives for well under 1% and by saving those lives, you avoid the kind of population growth and instability that leads to national security issues i countries like nigeria and yemen and if we let them tribble and population because we don't help with the issues, these are humanitarian and it really points to this, with one of the more measured parts of the entire budget. >> you would draw a line between
11:30 pm
this an john kerry for the muslim brotherhood of egypt and criticizing that, saying that we don't know if that is the case in what used it will go to? >> that's right, getting into countries that are a little bit better off, the complexities, how do they view their relationship with the u.s. were we so entangled that there was a counr reaction that? what we are focused on what we have chosen to take and the money that i have more money that warren buffett has given, aids, malaria, the science part of that and a delivery part of that. that's when we say, thisis so impactful and so wonderful that we will take her own money and
11:31 pm
we will joan green in and be a partner in some unbelievable programs on a regular basis. neil: your money appears to be impactful and your efforts seem to be impactful as well. i'm sure in no small measure. but the u.s. track record on this is kind of dicey and even global efforts after the disasters, calling into question whether money gets to the right recipients and the haiti earthquake is always used as an example. the 2 billion raised by governments and private enterprises andhe like and i was recently in haiti. unless i missed something, it is just disasters with famine and abus as it ever was.
11:32 pm
so that is what worries me. so you wrote today that the number of children that are dying every year has gone to 8 million and those with extreme poverty have been cut in half thanks to foreign aid. i see examples where that's not the case. >> well, wait a minute. you should've gone to haiti before the earthquake. >> i did. >> it was a very tough place before the earthquake. >> a lot of the money didn't get spent, a lot of it did get spent to put things back to restoration. so there you are just making up for a huge setback and in ters of health, where you get families to be more healthy, they choose to have less children and their the numbers could not be clearer. my money is in the same pot and it's a fairly small prcentage.
11:33 pm
the money from the fooundation, this evening. and it's really under the bush administrati that this global health piece went from being a tiny piece of the budget to over half of aids and malaria and neglected diseases. and that is where we work and have expertise on and that is completely because we are in there looking at the numbers all the time. >> i think smart folks, i think they would right away get it to you in right away through your foundation. because you do get a lot of bang for the buck. a fan of higher taxes on the upper income and the government doing more and spending more and when he had this, though, he chose to commit the money and
11:34 pm
not to the u.s. government. what does that tell you? >> it tells me that we have three sectors, the private sector that is the biggest and is phenomenal. anything they can do in terms of the needs that people can pay. it's fantastic. and we have things like education or government comes in a philanthropy, it can be more innovative and willing to take far out science and new delivery programs. so there is a complementary role and so often we are taking this expertise anwere talking about what we know and where we have a common view. i am a big fan of philanthropy because it's almost like the venture capitalism of societal spending. sometimes we get teachers to
11:35 pm
have more feedback and raise the average quality. it's not a typical thing that a government would do. so i really love all three of the sectors and i'm trying to make sure that the money is well spent. and that is my full-time job now. neil: someone who has urged the government to do more and spend more, i guess he had a choice between committing more money and to pursue these goals for you and he chose you. >> that is true. i mean, we need to fund whatever activities we need to do. that includes the gap and how close the gap. and we would like to encourage philanthropy because in my view it has a good impact ad each one of these sectors, we have to
11:36 pm
wak up and do better every day for the goernment. so how do you balance the budget, that is one of those big challenges and everybody has opinions about that. >> you are right about that. if i could go back to philanthropy itself and whether this higher tax environment, there's a lot of worries with a few charitable foundations. one way that we have had is whether we will get an impact is where we will have lasting contributions. do you worry about tha >> well, politically is very important. the u.s. is very unique in not only the scale but the breadth of it and it's not justhem who give philanthropy and in some ways it's even more impressive that the non-rich are so generous in this country and if
11:37 pm
you look at it state by state, you're talking about 5% of income, where it's more like 2% else where in that the broad movement and we have very good ngo, certainly there could be cut back their, although it could be deductible that is cut both ways. but what you want to do is find a balance between these important programs and, okay, and you'll have to pay for them at some point >> okay, so you think that we have that proper balce with the increases? >> i think that we are running a higher deficit than we would like in the long-term and there's a very important argument about shaking up the economy and how do you phase in that balance and in a sense, it
11:38 pm
is a stimulus to the economy and we still need that level of stimulus. including the medical costs. and it would be not to argue about whether the ciizen pays or the government pays, beginning the increases to be more in line with the economy, which they haven't been in a good that the government actually protects thoe increases. so are there things that could be done to get more innovation on the cost reduction and they are, we haven't seen enough thinking and what i see about the medical stuff in poor countries is very suggestive that the efficiency side would be ideal because then it is not zero-sum between citizen versus government. >> do you ever envision us, the foundation and the responsibilities and that it's
11:39 pm
enough to keep you jazzing going for the rest of your life? >> well, i certainly miss this. i get to spend about 15% of my time on it. but my full-time commitment is to the foundation. i spend my time on polio ratification and with the partners, wehope to get that done. then we can focus on malaria and tuberculosis and eating tat down from the 7 million that it is now, even down to 3 million over the next three years. neil: i think your friend warren buffett has said that they want to give it all away. and i'm wondering with her three children, have you told them this as well and if they are looking at a huge inheritance that it's not coming? >> well, we talk about the vast majority of the wealth going to the foundation.
11:40 pm
all of his money is spent within 10 years and not quite in the foundations and even their it's our foundation and his children's foundation and its set up after we are gon, our foundation will spend its money within 20 year and, you know, our kids are excited about the foundation and they will get a great college education and some support as well. they are very lucky. >> i think that giving a kid hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, it's actually not good for the kids or for society. society. neil: suzanne s

[applause] >> you do not have to bring someone over the head. >> i think putting up fitness centers are great and having kids play, go outside and play. it's just wonderful. and i wrote a book about why we are obse and i think i have the answer. it's not how much we are eating, it's eating chemicals and liver in particular has no way to
