mr. breitbart did not release those but breitbart himself pops up at the conference and addresses reporters there and now congressman weiner finally getting a chance to speak after the guy who stormed his press conference and now congressman weiner in a heap of trouble. what does he could? or say? >> thank you for being here. good morning. i'd like to take this time to clear up some of the questions that have been raised over the past ten days and take full responsibility for my actions. at the outset i make it clear i have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people i care about the most and i am deeply sorry. i have not been honest with myself, my family, my constituents, my friends and supporters and the media. last friday night i tweet add photograph of myself that i intended to send to the direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle and i realized i posted, i panicked, took it down and said i was hacked. i then continued with the story to stick to that story, which was a hugely regrettable mistake. this woman was unwittingly drag interested there and bears no responsibi

mr. breitbart will be here. caution, you where to enter the no spin zone, the factor begins right now. captions by closed captioning services >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. do you want the federal government to give you stuff? i will deal with that question in the talking points memo which tonight will be in our third segment because we are packed this evening. all right? first up, we have brand new political poll and it's very interesting. according to an abc "the washington post" survey. presidentpresident obama's bouns gone. spiked to 56% after bin laden was killed but now it's back down to 47%. 49% disprove of the president's job performance. perhaps the most important data in the polls, whether the country is heading in the right direction a whopping 69% of americans say they are dissatisfied the way washington is working. just 30% say they are happy with the federal government. who are those people? now, that's very bad news for president obama. here is even worse news. ready? 47

mr. breitbart. >> really? i wasn't suspicious of that guy chris lee.emand to know who put that photo out. same thing with mark foley. do i even know who put out the mark foley story? >> do you ever calm down? >> you're taking a long question when i'm trying to give an answer. >> is it not understandable that people might be at least skeptical given his track record? >> i don't know who exposed mark sanford, a conservative's reaction is not to say, who put that out? let's attack that person. >> why didn't the republicans expose -- >> would you see -- >> arnold schwarzenegger. >> good, get rid of him. >> arnold schwarzenegger. >> no one said, dam that l.a. times for exposing this. >> too late for any damage to be done, other than to his family. >> it wasn't too late in the case of john edwards, everyone seems to know that in the media coverage. everybody knew clinton was lying. and any sane person last week knew anthony weiner last week was lying. he goes from twittering that he's been hacked to as soon as a lawyer was involved it was a prank. >> you're

mr. breitbart actually spoke at before congressman weiner arrived, the congressman said he had been lying all along. the huffington post headline read "weiner lets it all hang out." keeping them honest, though, tonight did he, or did he just raise new questions about his conduct? we want to play you his full statement from today because it's one of those statements that frankly stops you in your tracks. perhaps one of the strangest political press conferences in a long time. and here's what he said in its entirety before he took questions. >> i'd like to take this time to clear up some of the questions that have been raised over the past ten days or so and take full responsibility for my actions. at the outset i'd like to make it clear that i have made terrible mistakes that have hurt the people i care about the most and i'm deeply sorry. i have not been honest with myself, my family. my constituents, my friends. my supporters and the media. last friday night i tweeted a photograph of myself that i intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle. once i realiz

mr. breitbart has been wrong about a lot of things in the past.ed the benefit of the doubt. certainly hasn't in the past. it goes to his supposed credit. i don't know why someone would want to be right about something like this. but that's how these guys want to cover politics, it's theirs website. they can do what they want with it. but the bigger problem is that an thoeb weiner looked you in the eye and lied. obviously congressman wiener knew that it was true. he could have not done any interviews, or if he's going to do interview, he should have told the truth. no comment is okay, nobone of yr business is okay, but he looked right in your eyes and your viewers' eyes by extension. if he tells no further lies and makes amends and if no new facts come out that are not damaging, but it's an enormous problem. >> he said he lied because he was embarrassed and he thought it was the best way to deal with it. he now admits that was a huge, huge blunder. you saw him break down, start crying, apologize especially to his wife huma. how big is this in the c

mr. goldberg. as we have been discussing breitbart, the guy who broke, this andrew breitbart who will be on hannitycified by the left wing smear machine on the net. some bleedover into msnbc and the other liberal precincts. now, what is the liberal media have to do because of weiner's confession? >> well, they are going to cover the story as they would cover any hard news story at this point. there is no more covering for anthony weiner after this confessional that we saw today. so, that's what they are going to do. but what i find really interesting, bill, is that liberals on the web, nbc, their main broadcast, the nightly news brian williams said that he wasn't covering the story because he had more compelling things to cover. doesn't it occur to any of these journalists and there are others who can i name by the way, doesn't it occur to any of these journalists that anthony weiner who was a important congressman. a leading voice of the progressive wing of the democratic party who spoke repeatedly on national television about very important national issues who may have run for mayor of the bigges

mr. wiener's comments, eventually, even though he was asked a couple of times, he eventually did apologize. he apologized to andrew breitbartnterestingly enough, he did not apologize to members of congress for being disrepute to the house of representatives because then it would look like he had done something wrong. some of the women are speaking out. there is a woman who has spoken to a number of news outlets, 40-year-old black jack dealer by the name of lisa and apparently she says that she had phone sex with him on a government phone. if that's the case, he's in big trouble. >> gretchen: the interesting thing is whether or not there will be any criminal charges here. it's one thing to have the ethics committee now looking into his behavior. will there be -- think will charlie rangel. he's still in office and david vitter, arguably a felony there on the republican and democrat side. that could be criminal. but the judge earlier said that he did not believe, so far, that anything was criminal, but we're just on the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. what really sparked this whole thing and anthony wiener having to tell the
