thank you for being with us. greta is one studio over, right there to go on the record. thanks for being with us. we'll see you tomorrow night. >> greta: tonight president bill clinton goes on the record. and israeli defense minister ehud barack is here >> first missiles are are flying in every direction. two powerful conservatives have christine o'donnell's back. sarah palin on twitter and rush limbaugh on his radio show. yesterday palin fired off a tweet, see o'donnell, strategy, time is limited use it to connect with local voters. today, rush defended o'donnell on the radio. >> the witchcraft comment everybody jumping in on this the context of this was, she was asking -- talking about halloween and so forth. it is amazing me know more about christine o'donnell right now than we know about

obama we know more about her than we know about barack. it isn't going to work. this kind of stuff is not going to work. how about dabbling in mark -- marxism? her opponent in delaware? tkablging in economic destruction, -- dabbling in economic destruction, barack obama. >> greta: there's a lot of chatter about this candidate. she has some republicans who have her back. some are going after her, right? >> absolutely. has exposed a great rift near d.c.. here are to basic truths. you tell me which is more important? christine o'donnell a punchline in the beltway and two nobody inside the beltway votes in delaware. i think the people around her are smart enough to know delaware voters will decide this, not pundits like myself. >> greta: let's look at some of the facts this business

about witchcraft that has been batted around the last 48 hours. how long ago did she have this discussion about it on tv? how long ago was she supposed dabbling and how old was she? >> i think it was something somebody did in high school. i don't want to get into what i was doing in high school, most of us don't this was years and years ago. i heard sean hannity on his program mentioned that the president divulged some of his own dabbling in his memoirs. i think it is a little bit of a double standard to held christine o'donnell's feet to the fire with many soft things she has said when she was in high school or college. at the same time, it didn't make for a pretty senate run this close to november. >> greta: what is her background. tell me the facts about her? what she has she been doing last 15 years? tell me about her. pretend i just heard her for

the first time tonight >> how would that be possible? i think the best way to describe christine o'donnell she has become a professional gadfly in republican politics. the white house likes to note this is not the first time she has run for this seat, losing to vice president biden. we have to remember this is vice president biden's seat. this woman has done several appearances on politically correct with bill maher. any time anybody went on that show, of course nobody was thinking 20 years in the future. most thought that show was going to get cancelled inside of a week. not different from somebody in the senate a long time votes add up and you have a record to run on or against. christine o'donnell said a lot of things when she was serving this role as a media gadfly and there are things coming back to haunt her. >> greta: i don't know whether she a good candidate or bad. i hear a lot of weird things about some members of congress

currently there, alleged ethical violations or whatever. in terms of qualifying for the u.s. senate there are no qualizations except for age and citizenship, right? >> exactly. i know what are saying. witchcraft seems tame compared to some of the stuff we hear on capitol hill. it certaintily isn't a disqualifier. >> greta: do we have poll numbers, whether she has a shot at being senator? >> i haven't seen any good polls in the last day or some the truth of the matter is, right now she is along a shot as a person can be. especially with this short amount of time left. washington republicans did not want her to win for this very reason. these stories have legs, the national media, we are paying attention. we are continuing to fan the flames. the it does make for a very uphill candidacy is the most generous way i can put it. >> greta: sam, thank you as

always. >> we have something very special for you tonight. you can talk back with an on the record text vote. here's the question: is delaware senate republican candidate christine o'donnell getting a fair shake from the media? text your answer to fnc tv. that is 36288. text a for yes, c for no. we'll tell you the -- press b for no. we'll tell you your results later in the hour. >> tonight there's a new stunning and disturbing twist about journalists targeted for death. the largest paper in juarez, a city feet from el paso, texas two journalists have been executed in the past two years. last week, a 21-year-old photographer was shot more than 40 times on his way to lunch. in 2008, a crime reporter was gunned down outside his home as he was taking his daughters

to school. now the newspaper is taking an extraordinary step. the newspaper is asking for orders from the drug cartels in order to keep its journalist as the paper just published a front page editorial. it reads: . leaders of the different organizes that are fighting for control of juarez, the loss of two reporters from this publishing house in less than two years vent as irreparable sorrow for all of housework here in particular for their families. we ask to you explain what you want from us? what we should try to publish or not publish so we know what to expect? former u.s. ambassador john bolton joins us live. chilling. >> this is the definition of submission by a newspaper, the tip of the sphere of freedom of expression. i worry it is another piece of evidence of the break down of civil society in mexico in the face of these drug cartels and their violence.

>> greta: when you see a newspaper living and breathing and covering that story. then you've got president obama and president calderon of saying mexico is not like colombia was two years ago in contrast to secretary of state clinton has to say about it. >> i don't think it is colombia two years ago. >> greta: 20 years ago. >> exactly. when people say we don't like this violence the way to avoid being confronted with the violence is give into the drug cartels, make a deal with them. export your violence through mexico, into the united states. that kind of submission i think is very bad news for the calderon government which has taken the unpopular step of using stronger force, including military force against the cartels. >> greta: if i said two years i meant 20 years ago, i misspoke. in terms of these two journalists, they weren't covering stories when executed. one was going to lunch. one was taking his daughters to school. the level of violence -- what is it going to take? what can the united states do?

what should we do? maybe we shouldn't do anything. >> some years ago we looked at substantial increases in assistant to the mexican military and having greater involvement by u.s. capabilities. state department has held some of that up. the administration has held some of that up it is a question, i think of dealing with the drug violence in mexico or facing more of it in our own cities, where the drugs are distributed by gangs not dissimilar to what we see in mexico. >> in the last few weeks they've captured two leaders of two drug cartels, last december they -- drug cartel leader killed in a shootout. they seem to make some inroads. while we applaud that, it seems like the violence out pays or the replacements -- out paces or the replacements out pace the loss of the cartels. >> we either go after the drug cartels themselves and destroy

them, as was done by president uribe in colombia, or they will continue to grow as a state within a state. is a cancer. you can't keep it under control. you have to go after these cartels and destroy them. >> greta: if we do nothing, then what? >> i think the level of violence in mexico increases. the power of the government decreases, flow of drugs into the united states gets worse. and the power of the gangs in the united states who are the final transmission belt for these drugs increases. >> greta: i talked to two americans living in mexico for a number of years. they said the problem is the american appetite for drugs. their viewpoint. americans living in next at least these two as well as mexicans, the problem is that we drive it. >> well, i think in part we do. if this demand for drugs didn't exist, you wouldn't see the drug cartels. mexico is wrong to say we are part of the problem because of the guns and that sort of thing. they can get guns anywhere. where is the president of the united states talking about

staying off of these illicit drugs. you haven't heard anything from him in the last 20 months that is a fall you are of leadership. >> greta: if it weren't for the drugs we wouldn't have a demand for them. i'm not sure how productive it is for us to point fingers. if they didn't produce drugs we wouldn't be demanding it. rñ think this is demand driven. easy access to the drugs as relatively low prices does make for a hospitable srft to use it. if you destroy the cartels, you will drive the price up and there will be less use. >> greta: should the president be doing now? >> president obama should say to president calderon we have a join problem we need to increase u.s. law enforcement and military presence in mexico. your national policy ought not be to appease the cartels, but destroy them. >> greta: on the record continues live from new york. everyday iran gets closer to

having nuclear weapons. now iran is escalating fears with a threat against israel. ahmadinejad is here in new york so is israeli defense minister ehud barack many minister barack guess on the record, next. former president bill clinton is here. why is he in new york? what does he think about the tea party moment? we'll have press clinton tell you. plus uh-oh donald trump, gets fired. fired. whhaha investors are demanding more for their money. good. this time, i'm watching fees like a hawk. i hate hidden fees. why should i have to pay for something that i shouldn't have to pay for? td ameritrade's pricing is clear and it's straightforward... it's spelled out upfront. no hidden fees... no bait and switch. no gotchas. and there's one flat rate for online equity trades... for big accounts... or small ones. that's the way it ought to be. time for fresh thinking. time for td ameritrade.

>> greta: iran is threatening to destroy israel more terrifying as iran gets closer to nuclear weapons. ahmadinejad said any attack against israel means eliminating the zionist entity from the world map. ahmadinejad is here in new york, so is ehud barack who just met with secretary of state clinton , secretary of defense gates, welcome to the united states. >> that you. >> greta: did you meet with secretary of state clinton and secretary of defense gates and general jones? >> many issues on the table from the palestinian negotiation going over the end of the moratorium and then the qualitative military edge for israel as well as the original issues from syria to iran. >> greta: what i understand, one of the issues is to what

extent the united states is willing to supply or help or sell to israel these bombs that are bunker busters, right? those big bombs. >> we had such bombs in our arsenal for a long time. we have many american munitions including -- a huge volume of prepositioned munitions in israel. >> greta: it seems those bombs are particularly important, i don't want to be alarmist. with everything that ahmadinejad says about what he wants to do to israel. in the light of the fact we are hearing so much they are movering towards nuclear weapons, doing all their design underground. that i immediately become suspicious when i see that your country has an interest in those bombs. >> we are not interested

exactly right now with any kind of concrete type of munitions. basically, i don't think we have to be frightened by the declarations of ahmadinejad. at the same time we have to take iran determined movement toward military capability and its insistent on defeating the world we have to seriously. i believe the whole world has to take it seriously. nuclear iran will be the end of any nonproliferation regime. it will start a arms race toward nuclear capacity among several members of the community. it will give a tailwind to all glow wall -- global jihad, yemen, somali bandits and so on. it will end up with intimidation of neighbors around the gulf. so it is basically very bad

issue beyond direct threat to israel. i believe the world to -- beyond sang -- sanctions. we are to start consider what follows if sanctions won't work. >> greta: sanctions, i know for instance i've read that south korea, who are our good friends, as israel, they drag their feet going along with the sanctions. when they did, they wouldn't shutdown an iranian bank in seoul even though they asked. it seems sanctions have lots of holes. i don't think sanctions are gonna work, do you? >> i don't believe sanction as loan will work, but it is too early to put any further steps into concrete terms. basically, we believe no options should be removed from the table. we recommend this policy to friends and i believe if it

becomes more and more accepted by leading players around the world. >> greta: how long does the world have? how long before iran has nuclear weapons? >> technically probably they can reach it within a year and half or two if they decide to break all rules, probabl it might take a little longer. the real challenge is beyond certain point in time whether they reach nuclear bomb or cannot reach it, they will become immune against any kind of attack, because of the redundancy within their systems, too many sites, too many caves dug in, too many protection, too many centers of activity. growth if you will stand by we have much more with him next. then former president clinton goes on the record. does he think some democrats are part of the tea party movement? >> you would have to be crazy yellowbook has always been crucial to your business,

but now, to get it really cooking, you need a little website development. some transparent reporting, so you know it's working. online ads and 1-on-1 marketing consultation. yellowbook's got all that. yellowbook360 has a whole spectrum of tools. the perfect recipe for success. visit yellowbook360.com and go beyond yellow.

prime minister ehud barack is back with us. more than anything i'm sure you feel like i do, you wish sanctions would work in light of the fact that there's high risk they will not.

what is your timetable? what to you intend to do -- what do you intend to do? >> i think it is proper to discuss it over the tv. we recommend to our friends not to remove any option off the table. we do it ourselves and we mean it. >> greta: if you have to do something do you do it alone or with other countries? >> i repeat it doesn't make sense to discuss it in front of camera. >> greta: one other way. 1 to 10 scale how serious a problem 10 being the worst for israel right now in terms of how serious you take what is going on? >> probably the highest priority they terms of sincerity not just for israel. i believe even for this administration for this country, it will be part of the way the history will judge this period this administration when it comes to the end of its term where iran turn nuclear under a different administration work

or not. >> greta: is iran supplying hezbollah with helps? >> of course, iran as well as syria. syria providing them with extremely advanced weapon systems. >> greta: which is interesting. russia is also supplying weapons to syria. sort of a lousy situation. russia supplying syria. syria supplying hezbollah. iran supplying hezbollah and iran going nuclear. >> yeah, the world is short of perfect. i spent time with the russian minister of defense as well with prime minister putin. tried to convince them not to send those weapons to the russians, they are now sending extremely effective -- weapon with the dyament shuns of russia just -- with the men shuns of russia when you put it in the medicine ter --

mediterranean it is a weapon that can reach anyone, even your vessels coming to the eastern part of it. we tried to convince them until now we failed. i hope they will reconsider it. they also provide them with the best most advanced anti-aircraft missile systems. we hope they will consider these as well. >> greta: in terms of the peace process, the freeze on settlements that's been the 10 month moratorium ends within a week or so what can you tell me is the latest on that? >> it is not easy. for us it sounds bizarre to consider stretching it, because we basically did it as an unprecedented gesture. never happened in the history of this country of our country to put an end to it for including private project for 10 months. for nine months the

palestinians ridiculed, something which is -- the last month it became -- only thing upon which -- for us, it is almost inconceivable to stop it. but at the same time admit we started 950 new units and before then we used to build probably twice the pace the same amount negotiated. we found it extremely complicated politically to think about putting an end to it. but still we believed a way should be found in a respective manner without humiliating, without trying to corner israel into a way to

find a formula under which we can keep negotiations, negotiations are extremely important we cannot afford missing the opportunity. and continue toward a peace agreement between us and the palestinians. >> greta: sir, thank you, good luck whom hope you come back. >> next president clinton goes on the record. he talks about the tea thas to the venture card from capital one, we get double miles on every purchase. so we earned an la getaway twice as fast. we get double miles every time we use our card.

>> greta: president clinton is here in new york for the annual meeting of the clinton global initiative. here's the inside story. nice to see you, sir. >> nice to see you greta. >> greta: 2005 is that when the global initiative started. >> 50 billion dollars? >> over 10 years a total of 57 billion. already the acts in 170 countries have improved the lies of 220 million people. we are off to a good start.

>> greta: what is the plan this year? >> this year we are going to focus more on economics because of the economic problems of america and the world. there will be a big focus on what we can do with technology to generate jobs at home and around the world. what we can do to empower girls and women more. we know particularly in poor countries the most of the people not in school are girls, not boys. when women have access to the labor market it stabilizes families and increases the economic of countries. we are gonna talk more about market-based solutions to a lot of these big problems we have. there will be a heavy dose of clean energy. we have four american manufacturers of electric or hybrid vehicles who have brought five cars here as an illustration of what is happening. i think you may see in at lost in the case of cars, -- in at lost in the case of cars the domination of 2025 -- 20, 25

countries before the big three 100 years ago. we are going to have a very exciting meeting. there will be lots of interesting things on education and health as always. we to have a special session on the middle east to talk about what peace would look like if peace were made. the enemies of peace would try to undo it. what can members here do to help economic integration between israel and all the arab countries. >> greta: in terms of the clinton global initiative. i've receive so many of the good work clean water, different areas is there one mission, what is it? >> it is to turn every person we can reach into effective giver. effective giver of money or time or skills or particular

knowledge. i think most everybody understands that in an interdependent world which need to help each other grow and prosper. i think most everybody understands that there's always a limit to what the private sector can produce and the government can provide. in that gap citizen action has always been important. i think most people understand that if you are not subject to the constraints of government and you don't have to worry for your livelihood about the bottom line you can experiment and learn to do things faster, cheaper and better. not everybody knows now break into it. i've tried to create a network of action where everybody can become constructive contributor to solving our common problems. that's what i think it is known for. year in and year out, the donors may be more interested in clean energy one year or education one year or health issues one year. but it always sort of keeps pushing forward in all these

areas. there are 75 million people on earth now that have access to better childcare because of commitments made by people here. 10 million more getting microcredit loans. 1.75 billion dollars committed for our small and medium enterprises in developing countries because there is almost no small business lending facility. the big problem in haiti we just had two people commit 20 million dollars to make loans to small and medium-sized businesses because the banking network there doesn't do that. so, that's what i would say. the enduring legacy is, it is a network of people who want to be constructive, effective givers. >> greta: america has always been generous, givers. in the last couple of years we've had more problems here economically. i'm trying to think how the clinton global initiative -- people watching might think, what about us? you talked about jobs.

can you explain -- americans ash -- not to be selfish, how does this help them? >> this year i asked our people to encourage more commitments that helped america. either america along with other countries or exclusively america. we have a lot of interesting commitments coming out of. we did last year when the economy was really rock bottom. i'll give you one example, a small one. this summer, young people who are used to summer jobs, helping them to support their families or go to college, were real disappointed, there was a big come down in summer jobs. we have a donor this year that is going to create a few hundred summer jobs for young people, afterschool jobs, painting old buildings in new york with tar roofs whitewashing them or otherwise

help making them more energy efficient. they will earn money afterschool or in the summer. they will lower the utility rates of every place they work and help to fight crime and change in a way this is good economics. very inexpensive to do. what this donor hopes is people with more money will do it and spread it around. these things pay for themselves in no time. these simple energy efficient things on old buildings that save in the aggregate, 50 to 20 energy you can pay that off inside a year normally. >> greta: a lot of people look at the program, big names, big contributors and very generous. what about somebody who says i don't have any big money to contribute. i might have some ideas. i'm willing to do some leg work to help. how can i participate? >> there are three ways. first, we started a group called lead. younger people where we try to

create networks people in their 20s and 30s. some of them have quite a lot of money. most don't have any money but they've got really good ideas. we are going to see what they are doing. anybody around america, around the world that wants to plug into them over the internet and follow what they are doing and participate, even at a small level can do it. the other thing is, we have a separate meeting for university students every year. we just finished at miami in the spring in april. next april we are going to the university of california san diego. none of them have any money. but they are full of good ideas. they've made a real difference. for just ordinary citizens that interested, we've been webcasting this the last three years. we asked everybody to feel free send us their ideas or send us their commitments. it doesn't matter if they don't have the $10. one year we had great

encounter where procter & gamble was selling these packets that purified water. one packet cost a dime, purified enough water for a family of four to drink for four days. so had people mailing in saying i want to do that. giving us $10. they could buy with that, 100 packets. and do a lot of good. what we try to do every year is to take this thing down to a level where no matter how much money you have or don't have or time you have or don't have or what your skills are, what your interests are, you can find something to participate that's what the webcast allows us to do. >> greta: next, more with president clinton. what does he think about the tea party movement? does he think some democrats does he think some democrats are part of it? i was driving in northern california. my son was asleep.

i really didn't see it coming. i didn't realize i was drifting into the other lane. [ kim ] i was literally falling asleep at the wheel.

>> from america's news headquarters, i'm ainsley earhardt. an army national guard commandener utah is now taking responsibility for a wildfire that has caused a massive evacuation, the general admitteds that the flames were sparked on sunday by gunfire during a training exercise. at the time, high wind warnings were posted for that region, south of salt lake city. the fire's now 20% contained. three homes have been destroyed and another 1600 evacuated.

an fdha committee holding a second meeting, dealing with the safety of eating genetically engineered salmon. the fda agreeing in part with the company that wants to market the salmon that it is safe to eat. safety comcial officials say it grows twice as fast. but critics worry it could cause allergy problems in humans. i'm ainsley earhardt. now back to "on the record." thanks for watching. >> greta: continuing with former president clinton. politics, the tea party movement. what are your thoughts on the tea party movement? are there any democrats who you think are part of it? >> first of all, i saw a survey the other day that said the tea party, the people who identified with the tea party in america, grass roots people, if there were no tea party candidate on the ballot 20% said they would vote for democrats. the grass roots tea party impulse is basically positive.

what they are saying is america doesn't work for ordinary people. the people that caused the economic crisis, big banks -- big banks, they are in good shape we are not. the government helps the big guys, everything works for the government they are in good shape, can make their mortgage payment, we are not. we want to correct abuses in the big business and big government. that's the purist impulse that's a healthy thing. because america needs to reform a lot of its systems now. the surveys however, all the reports that have shown major financial backers in the tea party are wealthy people who are very far to the right and they hope by making it a crusade against government they can make the world free for their big companies to run

american life. and life beyond our borders. so, i think that many of the things these tea party candidates have advocated would receive -- would have the reverse impact that they advocate. >> greta: it was interesting, when the tea party first was spawned april first few months of president obama's administration. they seemed to be most active when they went to the town hall meeting, they were being ignored over health care, i'm not so sure equally they have a complain with the democratic party and the republican party. now they seem to be maligned as in the pocket of the conservatives. >> yeah. well, they beat a lot of these republicans in primaries, as you know. sometimes for good reason. i would say sometimes not for good reasons. for example, apparently they beat senator bennet because voted for the tarp bill and he the temerity to introduce a

bipartisan health care program with senator widen from oregon. but i think most people don't understand two things, number one, nobody liked that tarp bill. nobody wanted to vote for. if you allowed the whole finance system collapse the economy would be worse. last week there was a study a couple of the economists said if the federal reserve hadn't kept interest rates near zero and we hadn't restored the banking system and we hadn't this the investment in the stimulus bill there would be 8 1/2 million more people unemployed that is not supposed to be good politics because people don't feel better i don't think they had choice. i think it is about main street. keep in mind, three days before that tarp bill passed, the biggest car dealer in america had to stop financing new cars. it wasn't about wall street. i was about hane street. it was about to get to the point where you couldn't go to

sears and finance a refrigerator on credit. now, also we now know the latest estimate is 94% of the tarp money will be repaid. we may wind up getting it all back. >> greta: i just read an a hour that the recession was over in june of this year. i think that's what economists say? i travel america all the time. there's so many people unemployed -- how in the world can economists say that the recession is over? looking at numbers or modeling, people are hurting. >> i agree. the recession is not over for ordinary americans. particularly here. the definition of the end of a recession is two quarters in a row where the gdp shows positive grow but the gdp can show growth and people have no hiring. let's look at where america is. and what i wish this election were about is, what are we

gonna do right now? because we know where the options for growth are. in small business, bringing back manufacturing, huge opportunity now. and in clean energy. we know that there is 1.8 trillion dollars plus cash in banks, uncommitted to loans. which they can make it a 10-1 ratio. they could make 18 trillion worth of loans. american corporations have 1.6 trillion in their treasuries. they don't want to invest it overseas. they want to invest in america. if they wanted to invest overseas they would have already done it what will it take to get them to invest? what uncertains are out there that -- uncertainties are out there that need to be resolved. last month's unemployment report said something that almost 100% of analysts missed, everybody said unemployment went from 9.5 to 9.6 because we had more private sector

jobs, because the census work laid off that was the headline. way down in the story we learned for the first time in my lifetime we are coming out of a recession where posted job openings are going up twice as fast as job hires, new hires. and that if we were just hiring peep at the rate we hired them when i became president when we were coming out of a recession we would have five million more people in the workforce and the unemployment rate would be 6.9% not 9.6%. why is that? two reasons. one is, not much labor mobility. more than 10% of americans are living in homes that are worthless than their mortgage. they can't move or they are toast. bigger reason is skills mismatched there. may be hundreds of applicants for jobs but there aren't enough qualified in the skills that are needed. more people dropped out of college last decade because
