11:02 pm
country has to have a certain amount of money to operate, military, infrastrug teur infr, roads. >> you pay more than me because you make far more than me. >> bill: that is not income redistribution. that is giving the government more money to protect me and build an infrastruck steur. is is not redistributing my none any to someone that doesn't have. >> a small percentage of what you pay in taxes goes to the help the needy and poor and unemployed. >> not any more. >> as well, it should. we live in a society where we put into a common pot. often we pay for our own medicare or med di medicaid ant comes out of our salaries. >> bill: that is not the problem. the problem is the mentality of people saying, monica, the government owes me. how big a problem do you think that is? >> entitlements are narcotics. this is why the left loves to
11:03 pm
expand the entitlement program in america and they instituted a massive new program called obama care which is essentially socialized medicine. once people get aticted to the narcotic of the entitlement, social security, medicare, medicaid, we have a whole array of entitlements, you get addicted to it, it is difficult to take it away. >> bill: what is the government's responsibility in bad economic times to feed people through food stamps. they have explode. >> we have 47 million americans now on food stamps which is a record breaking number that is heart breaking. >> bill: is that a nasca narco. >> we is so many drk including the food programs and benefits for the poor. >> bill: is that a narcotic? >> i will tell you why. it creates a culture and pattern of victimization. >> most people want to work and do not want a handout. most people want to compete and be in the game. they don't want to sit back and
11:04 pm
have the government give them sufficient. a small percentage of our budget goes to help poor people. more goes to spending and wasteful things. >> bill: the private sector is sitting on a trillion dollars easy, okay. the banks aren't lending it. they are not giving it out. go to a bank, very hard to get a mortgage or start up a business. the reason is they don't have any confidence in barack obama because he is breaking the bank with the insightlement spending. that includes medicare and medicaid and all of that. the banks say we don't have confidence in this guy. if he gets reelected it will be worse. >> why is it specific to economy if the economy has not done well -- >> bill: he is be driving the policy. stimulus.od we had the stadium >> bill: if a republican says i'm going to cut taxes instead of obama saying i'm going to raise them, the private sector is going to cheer that.
11:05 pm
>> we are coming off a terrible recession and right now 8% looks really good. >> bill: the obama administration made it worse. >> no, they didn't make it worse. imagine what the republicans would be saying if the auto industry was not saved. >> bill: i was okay with the auto industry. for you to sit there and say the obama administration has not made it worse. >> they made it better and would make it better with a bigger stimulus. >> the financial crisis sped like a con taijen to other aspects of the economy. barack obama took a bad situation and made it a thousand times worse with the massive expansion of government, with unprecedented spending as you point out, record breaking deficits and debt which hangs like a suffocating overhang over this economy and then regulations and new requirements like obama care where businesses small medium and large have no idea what it going to cost them to hire an employee tomorrow. >> bill: she's right.
11:06 pm
that's right. >> thank you, o'reilly. >> the office of budget management shows that we save money with what you called originally obama care. business might be wrong. it doesn't matter. >> bill: they have to spend the money. >> that is why you need an instrument that is not profit driven. when you are profit driven you are not going to get the best healthcare. >> bill: this is a capitalistic society and the capitalists are not spending because they have no confidence in the administration. >> no confidence in the economy through no fault of obama. >> bill: monica, let's get the u.n. thing out of the way. there are also some u.n. pin heads who get paid nice salaries, live large here in manhattan, criticizing the bin laden raid. >> as potentially illegal. a violation of international law, o'reilly. all more theater of the absurd coming from the united nations. >> bill: we did violate
11:07 pm
pakistani sovereignty. >> i'm wondering if the united nations ever raises questions about violation of international law when al-qaeda hit us on 9/11. this institution is the most antiamerican, antifreedom institution in the entire world. they allowed syria's application for the human rights council to get as far as it did. today they will back down and replace the application with kuwait because kuwait's human rights record is so much better. >> bill: kuwait is a lot better than syria. >> still a nondemocracy. the fact that syria which for 30 years had an incredibly mass murdering oppressive regime. >> bill: wasn't cuba on the human rights commission for awhile. >> not only cuba but saudi arabia, russia and until a few weeks ago, libya. >> it is not supposed to be a
11:08 pm
proamerican organization. it is a proworld organization. kuwait is a much better choice. they should not be on the human rights council. you're right. you should have to earn the right to be on the council. >> bill: why do you think the u.n. does put cuba and russia and libya and propose syria. >> look all this kind of pressure where kuwait is stepping in and syria backing off. there has been pressure not to do that. >> bill: the u.n. is a fair and balanced organization. >> come on! >> they are looking to give equal voice to all countries. >> bill: to the cubans that throw political in jail. >> once again i have been misrepresented on this program. >> by your own words. >> i said they should not be on the commission unless they earn the rights. >> bill: why are they being put on the commission? i don't know. that would be the answer, doint know. >> that doesn't -- i don't know. could call it the most
11:09 pm
antiamerican organization ever, they are a place for the world to go and hash these things out. good that we have them but the diplomats would bay pay the parking tickets we would solve the budget crisis in new york. >> the united states has been the biggest force for good in the entire world and the united nations never sides with them. >> bill: isn't it their job to sign with forces of good? >> and that is why syria is being forced out and kuwait -- wilmington they never signed with us. you are making black and white statements and it is not accurate. >> we obtaind that information through water board gd aning ar those who say that water boarding doesn't work, we got vital information that directly led us to bin laden. >> bill: i did not know that and i'm sure most of the audience did not at all. explain how that went down. how did we get that information? where did it come from? is it guantanamo bay? >> it came from an overseas
11:10 pm
prison where khalid shaikh muhammad was being interrogated. it was through water board. >> bill: you said a number of times right here on this broadcast. >> correct. >> bill: you said coerced in interrogation gets you no information. >> i said it based on a pentagon report from 2002. >> bill: but you believed it. >> i do believe it. >> bill: okay, still? >> yes. donald rum rumsfeld said this s not a result of water boarding. you don't want to hear what rumsfeld said sphvment. >> reporter: candidly? i don't want to know what donald rumsfeld said. we confirmed today, absolutely true. >> rumsfeld says otherwise. >> bill: if he wants to sit here, i will guarantee i will hear a different story. >> he said no. >> bill: the evidence is overwhelming that coerced interrogation did lead to the
11:11 pm
initial -- >> that is your opinion. >> bill: and you don't believe it? >> i don't believe it. >> bill: you are like a doubting thomas. want to put your hand in the side of -- >> ' cording to timeline, the water boarding took place in 2002 and 2003. it was 2006 at the time khalid sheik muhammad released the names of th kowrier. >> bill: that is not true. he released the information about who the courier was. at the could not find him and that he tracked him down. crawly wants to believe it and colmes doesn't want to believe it. >> let's deal in the facts. let's deal in reality. >> bill: are you able tonight to convince your brother in law that he is wrong? can you do that? >> i will certainly try although it might require water boarding. >> great. >> before we had the weekend's developments we had a number of intelligence reports stating that the enhanced irtare gaition techniques not just water boarding but sleep deprivation, making them stand
11:12 pm
for extended periods of time, blasting loud music at these guys that those techniques actually produced actionable intelligence that saved american lives. >> bill: that is what he says. >> now, we have this weekend. the chairman of the house homeland security committee saying exactly that. what we were able to discern after subjecting ksm and frankly one other gitmo detainee they were rendered to a black site in a european country. >> bill: it was poland. >> we were able to conduct the enhanced i interrogation techniques then. >> bill: coming up, the best of bernie bol
11:13 pm
11:14 pm
11:15 pm
>> bill: in the best of bernie goldberg segment tonight we have dedicated the entire block to bernie being bernie as he analyzes the media like no one else. >> we did a report on how the three networks were covering the weiner situation and by far the cbs, nbc, they covered it after he admitted what he did. cbs, they have covered it the least. and tim graham was saying it is the old media bias thing. i said i don't think so.
11:16 pm
i think the cbs news does not want to go back to the days of cronkite and they think the story is trashy and don't want to do it. >> that is not a theory. that is an absolute fact. i know this because i talked to people inside the cbs broadcast center at high levels and they say that that is the new policy to go back to the golden days of cbs news. they will worry about the ratings along the way but their goal is to bring back the serious news glory days of cbs news and that is why this their view these two stories just didn't make the cut. >> bill: stories they are not going to cover. cronkite after he retired was unmasked as like a really uber liberal guy. cronkite i think in his young days was fair. would you agree with that? >> during his newscasts, he was
11:17 pm
fair. seen producer on thethrow evening news during that day very well. he said i never knew what conkrite's politics. he put it i talked to him five days a day and i didn't know what his politics were. >> bill: like a werewolf. he retired and then all of a sudden -- okay. this is an ongoing situation. some of the press is seizing upon it. if i got leaked wikileak documents i wouldn't put them on air. i wouldn't do it especially if it put the usa in any kind of a dangerous situation. >> i think we disagree. i'm against it if it puts innocent lives in jeopardy or jeopardizes an ongoing operation to capture terrorists then i'm against it. you have to distinguish between the person who downloaded and stole the documents, that person is guilty of some crime and wikileaks.
11:18 pm
if wikileak was not in collusion, then wikileaks pretty sch a news organization. granted antiamerican, antiwar news organization but they got the information from whoever stole the documents and then made the decision as to whether or not to publish. i don't think they should be prosecuted. can i give you a quick analogy to back up my point? >> bill: sure. >> say somebody broke into the archives at columbia university and stole barack obama's college records. you, bil bill o'reilly knew nog about it. didn't tell him when to do it. you are as innocent as the driven snow and the person who stole the documents brings them to you and you confirm they are legitimate documents and have
11:19 pm
hypothetically incredible information you have a right and i would think an obligation to publish those documents. >> bill: i would publish those documents, all right, unless they put somebody in danger our troops or this it that on the other thing. i don't have any problem with that. i know what you are saying. almost like the rico situation with the ongoing organized crime thing. you said it yourself, this is an antiamerican organization looking, searching and encouraging people come to them with stolen top secret documents. >> right. >> i think you can get them under the reco thing and probably issue -- now, is extradite over extra died ov r here? you can make a strong case that these people are practicing espionage across this kun ptry.
