all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and it goes to fox news host bill o'reilly see below that part is show last night discussing former california governor arnold schwarzenegger's sex scandal and here's how bill began the segment about arnold's affair. the net and the media are going wild over the fact the former california governor fathered a child with a former member of his household staff that apparently happened more than ten years ago so. he gives you a few details but then kind of present the way and the media and the internet are the ones going crazy over the story as if there's nothing actually wrong with the story bill o'reilly usually the first one to call out a politician moral enough to do it now it's just everyone else that's doing it but wait there's even more here bill o'reilly then went on to basically blame the media for arnold's baby mama drama and i want you to feel sorry for arnold take a listen. what about our freedom of speech this is the solution to the net it is a free fire zone on every single human knee cowardly sociopaths hide in the weeds in t

>> why bill o'reilly is

and it struck me as a little bit strange that jon stewart and bill o'reilly in some ways the ideological figureheads of the mainstream left and right we're talking about peltier and mahler's of there are cases where i don't know as i won't go in as leaders drug problems or charlie sheen for that matter the fact of the matter is that mainstream news jon stewart o'reilly all of them included too often devolves into a meaningless echo chamber fanning the flames of whatever pointless controversy that's dominating that day now this network has been accused of many things critics say that by questioning the status quo by discussing uncomfortable problems facing this country like i don't know soaring incarceration rates flaws in the justice system the erosion of civil liberties the economy by doing all this this network is somehow the enemy of america now you may not agree with some of the viewpoints expressed by guests that appear on this channel i certainly disagree with many but at the end of the day at least we're willing to have those discussions to ask those questions to question assumpti

or it must have been raped let's move on bill o'reilly and jon stewart had an epic debate last night over the entire common controversy of course every watched and jon stewart has just been destroying fox news for being fed up over common but then they actually use some really interesting examples that i think you don't necessarily well actually not a so you never ever end up seeing in the mainstream media so let's take a look at a clip of that. are you familiar with leonard coulter yes. leonard peltier was convicted of killing you are you know we're going to need similar or no it's not. because you should it's the exact same thing it's a guy convicted of killing a law enforcement official no you really think he's ignorant in believing that a sort of course of mission you may think he's ignorant and believing that money is . first of all i think it makes a really good point if you can just draw a line in the sand because you know now bato can never come to the white house because at one point he defended leonard peltier but they also talk about leonard peltier people like would be a

seen as a threat to the establishment now it struck me as a little strange that jon stewart and bill o'reilly some would say the ideological figure has of the mainstream left and right we're chatting about leonard peltier and i'm all that these cases were as well known as say lindsay logan's latest drug problems the fact of the matter is that the mainstream news jon stewart o'reilly all of them included too often devolves into a meaningless echo chamber in the flames of pointless controversy whatever it may be in that day now this network has been accused of many things critics say the bias questioning the status quo discussing uncomfortable problems facing this country like sore incarceration rates and the economy etc etc etc somehow make this country this network the enemy of america now you may not agree with some of the viewpoints expressed by analysts on this channel.

bill o'reilly had a clip of him and he said, the white house doesn't understand a lot of america.e is these critics don't understand that there are millions of americans whose understanding and experience in this country is not the lee greenwood thank god i'm free proud to be an american version, a version of those who live in the south bronx and live on pine ridge reservation and folks who don't feel free and what they write about it either in a rhyme or poem, that's what scares these conservative white folks. they don't accept the fact that there are millions of people for whom the experience of america is different than theirs and they certainly don't want to have to confront it. >> don't most whites buy the bulk of hip hop and rap? >> absolutely. this is all strategy, you know, in my book i actually tell the cop side of the 1992 cop killer controversy and ron lord, knew this was something the cops had to do, after the cops beat down rodney king and the police had egg on their face and this is something that republicans and police needed to do to sort of turn cops into victims

stewart has accepted an invitation from bill o'reilly to debate the issue.was the white house wrong? or do conservatives have a fundamental fear or misunderstanding of rap and hip hop? joining me now to talk about this, tim wise, author of "color blind," and author of "the big bayback, the history of the business of hip hop" and robert watson, producer and grammy voter as well, all of them have been on the show before. when you hear sarah palin made that dated reference to -- does it seem like they're out of -- what is it? >> they're pulling bullets. i mean, they have nothing to go on. this is the cleanest rapper we have in the game. common sense is, i mean, he makes conscious raps. he speaks to the people. he's anti-violence and anti-everything. if he's bad, there's nothing left in rap. i mean, he's the best we've got as far as clean. >> robert, if you're in the industry, right, you're in the industry, this would probably be understandable if the white house had invited a gangster rapper, but common, far from it. >> most def, a couple guys, that's it. >> i'

earlier tonight, donald rumsfeld, former defense secretary, said this to bill o'reilly on fox. are equating waterboarding with torture. and i think that's a mistake. the president of the united states authorized the waterboarding. it was done to three people by the cia. not by the military. and it produced an enormous amount of very, very valuable intelligence information. >> it just amazes me how former bush administration officials are out on the beaten path on the cables just saying it just did everything for the country. your thoughts on that. >> well, my former boss colin powell recently said that donald rumsfeld was delusional and deceptive and he could prove both points. my former boss is right. and on this issue, donald rumsfeld is more delusional than deceptive probably than any other. first of all, his last statement about hoards of intelligence is preposterous. it didn't produce hoards of intelligence. i never saw any raw intelligence pass my desk that came from such things that was actionable that really led to any circumstance at all that produced a result that was

>> no. >> why is bill o'reilly going off on the royal newly weds?wave to the queen? no. >>> one week after the royal wedding, sharon osbourne uncensored. >> she has a heck of a crush on and

fox's bill o'reilly challenged comedy central's jon stewart to a debate over the white house poetry event some conservatives have blasted the white house for inviting the rapper common as a special guest saying he celebrates violence, even cop killing, in his music. >> he's entitled as an american to do that. the president of the united states takes him in to the house. >> all right. >> thereby validating him. that was a bad decision. you know it was a bad decision. >> you're saying that by having him at the white house, that, in essence, was tacit approval of everything that he's done. to some extent. >> no. >> to some extent. >> no, it validates him. it elevates him as an individual. as a poet or whatever. >> mm-hmm. >> stewart argued it's hypocr e hypocritical to draw the line on entertainers like common. >> guess what, bono can't go to the white house, springsteen can't go to the white house, bob dylan can't go to the white house. you've got a lot of people that aren't allowed to sit in the white house because they've written songs about people convicted of murder. >> by the way, song

can second bill o'reilly. and mike huckabee even made it on the list mike huckabee one of the all ha i guess not a news reporter he has no knowledge to introduce you to tonight announce tonight that wolf blitzer is changing his name to no one. and so. it would always went right to wolf blitzer that's what about the ghettoized well i guess people like all sorts are unfortunately why he's where he's what if he were going to watch the news of a level of trust it was sitting around and watching that if they're watching fox news on this poll that was never like watch jagow ok that's another issue really scary which explains why bill of right lee is their favorite and there are sure yes let's rock around it's. george takei we have spoken about this bill before basically a people are calling it the don't say gay bill because it wouldn't allow teachers to teach about homosexuality apparently already had our sexuality that's the only thing that exists and george takei said that there is another option for that take a l

correspondent dinner she goes on fox she's a paid contributor to fox news she couldn't even say like bill o'reilly or somebody that she speaks to every single day listen to grab and just like i mean yeah totally put in her defense i don't know who the most influential journalist as of today you know i only want her to and i think what's so and i think what's so interesting too i mean looking beyond sarah palin the people that answered so many of the mention commentators and opinion makers and rachel maddow jon stewart as they're the most influential journalists and of late what they're sort of battling children losing on these days if you look at anyone i mean the one show that any alliance are the ones that normally do hold those positions it normally will be a writer it's not going to be someone who's on t.v. you can reach a a larger audience that's how people gauge influence these days you know for better or worse like how many people glenn beck brought out to the national mall last year that was the scariest moment of all time well ok let's move on to our last story here the a.c.l.u. is going

you can second or bill o'reilly came first and mike huckabee even made it on the list mike huckabee it is that they are let's just say i have not to use a reporter he is all i did did you see did see that announced tonight wolf blitzer is changing his name to known. what it would always come back to wolf blitzer that's why that's a good i thought well i guess people like wolf blitzer are unfortunately what i think what is what if you were going to watch that is me let alone trusted because i think they're watching it they're watching fox news on this i would never want what i say that's another issue really scary which explains why fellow brightly is their favorite and their archer but yes let's rock you found. george takei we've spoken about this bill before basically a people are calling it the don't say gay bill because it wouldn't allow teachers to teach about homosexuality apparently all they had are a sexuality that's the only thing that exists and george takei said that there is another option for that's a crock. anytime you need to say the word gay you can simply say it could b

don't we wouldn't lose our freedoms if it wasn't for nine eleven what are you left all right mr bill o'reilly you want to be this and i'm sure it's i'm sorry you just love a liberal you need a system like gave you that comment not i gave you because and i did use really love you in my life something's wrong with this and this is this is an absolutely hogwash nine eleven truth god bless those people for thinking that you and i mean you're in you're in for a new investigation into yeah i specially support investigation but i don't believe that somehow it's a criminal conspiracy caused because of zionists promoting israel but i will also hold on i will still put repeal of the patriot act getting to that point where people want to respect their civil liberties and want the government certainly more and getting back to a real free press absolute anyways now you had a really amazing interview to with with prodigy from. well this is only a small tease the full interview is going to be on my you tube and on adam versus the man dot com but this is only a short tease with the grammy award winning rappe

not like bill o'reilly.y will work together against israel, work against capitalism and work together to overturn stability! overturntable. hmm. -- overturn stability. if you are one of those guys, than doing the things would destabilize and be a good thing. i'm not questioning the joy that we feel. i am not questioning the joy we feel over killing bin laden but i don't believe they didn't know this in advance. this is in the room getting briefed to mission to take down osama bin laden. are you telling me no one in the room said wait, wait, wait, mr. president. first of all, do we know for sure that they do or do not have nukes? second of all, what is going to happen to pakistan? if pakistan falls apart, the whole thing cascades. the middle eastern country also with a nuke. did anyone speak up? maybe they did. maybe the president said i don't care, kill him no matter what. i don't think so. it doesn't make sense. in today's world how on fire it is, going in without thought to pakistan's reaction would be irr

two worlds on television jon stewart the so-called america's most trusted newsman appeared and bill o'reilly show to be one of the country's most pressing issues it wasn't the economy or the wars to get it wrong you know the hot topic of the evening was a rapper's appearance at a white house pro-choice slam now all the debate may have been amusing to watch and certainly good for ratings it does raise some serious questions about where the u.s. media is feeling its viewers tune in the next hour for my thoughts on what can happen today now unfortunately that does it for now for more on the stories that we've covered this what r.t. dot com slash usa and check out our u two pages you tube dot com slash r.t. america and as always please feel free to follow me on twitter it's at newcastle have one word and hopes you're right back here in half an hour.

and i think the most eloquent response i've heard was given by, of all people, bill o'reilly of fox newssaid, yes, it is. [ laughter ] enjoy. [ applause ] this is -- this is kind of funny. some top republicans including sarah palin and karl rove are giving most of the credit to killing osama bin laden to president bush. which is kind of like when you open a pickle jar and another person says, yeah, but i loosened it. there was a lot of excitement and confusion when the news broke. a lot of people had trouble with the names osama and obama. three days later, everything is pretty much straightened out. >> says obama's december -- osama's death, i should say -- >> how did obama -- excuse me, osama -- >> torture was necessary to catching obama. >> updated the paint job on the side of his van to say "got obama." obama's death. >> says he doesn't deserve to be called obama. >> obama had been killed. >> jimmy: osama obama. it is confusing. i will admit. why are we calling osama by his first name? it's not like he's regis. we don't call manson charles. let's leave the first name basis thing for

what happened was that bill o'reilly, who is the number one talk show host on cable news in america, was on the view, and then expressed his belief that muslims attacked us on 9/11 which prompted joy behar and whoopi goldberg to walk off the set, and then the following monday, i was the lead guest on bill o'reilly's show and he asked me, he said quite bluntly, where am i wrong? there is no way to get around the fact there is a worldwide problem with radical islamic thought. candidly, when i get on an airplane dressed in muslim garb, identifying themselves as muslim, it makes me nervous. that was an expression of a feeling, especially after 9/11, after the shoe bomber, after what took place in london, madrid, indough knee sharks the christmas bomber, the times square bomber who as declared there is blood being shed in the ongoing war with muslims. i added to with bill o'reilly we cannot violate the rights of american muslims or any muslims anyplace in the world because of religion. i said think about timothy mcveigh. think about the olympic bomber in atlanta. think about the westboro

i'm bill o'reilly. please remember that the spin stops right here because we are definitely loo looking out for. and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. >> i can report to the american people and to the world. >> we'll smoke him out of his cave. dead or alive, either way. >> and we'll get him eventually. >> the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden, the leader of al-qaeda. >> usa! usa! >> the terrorist who is responsible for the murder of thousands. >> the man who killed so many innocent people. >> you should not forget that the battle to stop al-qaeda will not end with the death of bin laden. >> on nights this like this one we can say to those families who have lost loved ones to al-qaeda's terror, justice has been done. >> and america's hunt for osama bin laden which lasted nearly ten years came to an end last night that the compound just 35-miles outside of islamabad pakistan. there the al-qaeda leader and 9/11 mastermind was shot in th

if you look at bill o'reilly from a few weeks ago, i said osama bin laden is in pakistan. some of you probably heard this. it was loud and clear. as we are going to give them 3.2 billion. i said listen. i understand something about that. this is before the event took place. we are not giving q this unless you hand over to us osama bin laden. everybody looked at me. nobody else they did that. in never get picked up. it is interesting. they pick them up. they do not give me credit. that is what they paid about politics. when you come up with a good idea, if they like it they take it. i love to get credit. i said you could look over there at the number of weeks. let them give us this. if anybody thinks that they did not know that he was here, who is not sitting in this big house. they made it like this incredible mansion. anybody thinks that the government did not know he was there, they are foolish. this is important. they do not have any money unless they get nuclear weapons. to me this is simple. for us to be giving them money, they go out. they take our money. they use of

what happened was that bill o'reilly was on the "the view" and expressed his belief that muslims attacked us on 9/11, which prompted joy behar and whoopee goldberg to walk off the set. the following monday, i was the guest on his show. he asked me, where am i wrong? i said there was no way to get around the fact that there is a worldwide problem with adical islamic thought. when i get on an airplane, and as the people were dressed in muslim garb, identifying themselves as a muslim, it makes me nervous. that was an expression of a feeling. then i added to that we cannot jump to violate the rights of american muslims or any muslims from any place in the world because of religion. think about timothy mcveigh, think about olympic bomber, think about the westboro baptist church. we cannot violate the rights of people of any faith based on the actions of people who are extremists. i said all of this at the time in the full context of the interview that was taking place. i made it clear that we cannot tolerate people using rhetoric and words to attack muslims because based on those fears, you co

i will change that word interview to debate, with bill o'reilly. i made it clear that we cannot tolerate people using rhetoric and the words to attack muslims, because based on those fears, you could get into a situation such as was a recent case in new york or a cab driver had his throat cut by someone who was attacking him because he was a muslim. now, the discussion was honest and heartfelt and the lead npr to fire me. did i realize, did you realize, juan, when you're making these comments that people might view them as inflammatory and bigoted? i have got to tell you, i have never had that thought, not to this day. here we are, may 26, 2011, about six months later. i have never once had that thought. no, some days you catch yourself in the shower and you think, i should have said this or should have done it this way. i have never had a second thought. because in fact, when i expressed was a genuine feeling. it was not a well-vetted analysis. it was not a suggestion that we base our tsa policies on the basis of such a feeling. it was simply an h

in fact, i was on bill o'reilly and kneel cavuto and i was saying, he's in pakistan. interestingly, he's in pakistan and what are we giving all this money for? turned out he was in pakistan. but a lot of people felt that. they obviously knew he was there and pakistan is a real problem because they have nuclear weapons. i would say something that i haven't heard, i would say we don't give them any money unless they get rid of their nuclear weapons. >> gretchen: interesting. >> steve: what do you think -- later today, the prime minister of pakistan will say if the united states tries another raid like they did last week, we are going to defend ourselves? >> it's very much like china. these are not friends of ours. these are people that are totally in for themselves and probably pretty bad people and some enemies. they are not friends of ours and we're going to probably have to deal with them a lot differently than we thought. these are not our friends. >> steve: when you say we'll have to deal with them differently, what do you mean? >> look, we're going to have to go g
