" I didn't feel the tide started to turn against Turbotax Tim Geithner the curry is growing about the AIG bonuses and the number of unanswered questions are growing as well. And that is our headline this Wednesday night Dave number 58 a false halt loose change what they know and -- and it's what everyone from Capitol Hill to Wall Street to main street were asking today. What did the administration know about the AIG bonuses and when they know it."

" And if they're going to you know be taken at their word that they only learned about this last week then why did it take so long for them to find out."

" At a White House briefing just two weeks ago. Press secretary Robert Gibbs told Jake Tapper of ABC news that the administration could account for all of the bailout money given AIG. But now we find out they may not have been true whether or not kids knew it or not. And there is mister Geithner members of congress began calling for his head today. As more people ask why didn't the man who drew while the original bailout plan for AIG know anything about these bonuses. Now it's frightening that very same people who want to manage the largest government expansion in the nation's history all are already having such problems keeping track of your money. So what does this mean -- where the country's headed in a much more later in the show with a very old Karl Rove. But it's such a pleasure joining us back in studio former television icon host of by the way an executive producer of the award winning documentary body of."

" War filled fill time we will continue. -- and we'll be back and will be back in just about. Highest for public talk about you your piece there -- minute I spoke to you briefly yesterday. -- Here we have the biggest expansion in government history 634. Billion dollars. That -- laid down as a down payment for nationalized health care. You're not happy. With the direction of America. Because we're spending a trillion dollars a year on things that go boom. America has become a warrior nation. We have military bases it I'm almost finished -- erupted -- over and over 150. Countries. We. We are dropping bombs on crowded cities that night were old people and children are sleeping. We now have guy in the control room in Arizona. With a joystick. That controls an unmanned aerial vehicle over Pakistan. Can see what's happening on television. With a camera that sends a signal halfway around the world and firing an incendiary device. Into what we believe our insurgents rebels Taliban whatever it may be by the way. The London times quotes a -- bystanders saying that the other. The couple weeks ago we killed three children. We can't we we we we shot down a private airplane tongue along the Peruvian border that was. Occupied by. Christian missionaries from Michigan -- but -- young woman by the name of Valerie. Veronica. Bowers and her. Seven month old daughter charity were killed we did this we not to ski lift off thick cable. We are rich tourists and we are killing people around the world and it is jeopardizing the well being of our children."

" I'm giving you due deference are limited address all of the satellite your comment about saying that we're just bombing indiscriminately it is an englishman -- bubble but before I get there I and a promise you'll spend time unless. Do you like not like your new President -- go back I looked at your interview -- Milton Friedman from years ago this I did say it. And creative goodies to her greatest good at -- that he still wouldn't answers question and I'll give it chance tonight but are you saying you don't like Barack Obama. You are you unhappy with him this to you want bigger government you."

" I cried when -- hand and company took PO I honestly I really -- O'Reilly did yet I think this was a moment. Here and and what -- gorgeous fanned them and I can't take my eyes of these children. His smile may save us all I'm the guy is a very compelling. Political figure. I wish she hadn't invited Rick Warren to call Jesus down. For his unless -- until inauguration all of that much time -- across the -- electing gay people look at the files I mean. This is not. This is what promotes. Homophobia. And so I was disappointed as were a lot of people but I want him to succeed and the guy hasn't even had chance to hang up his coat. And you're all over him you're all over them. By the way can you think of anymore problems that we want to put in his lap and I also think that Afghanistan could do to Barack Obama. What Vietnam did to Lyndon Johnson this is awful we have a 170000. Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and Pakistan --"

" Now get into some efficiency because of the I think you're giving your pretty fair open -- and I think he's all right. Iraq was full of torture chambers so we lost 3000 Americans you know I watched your video on the negatives that we have North Korea. We have Iran Iraq and then shot. The former Soviet Union we have no current state of Russia which is not good we have the Communist Chinese. We don't a free press there we go to Zimbabwe with a life expectancy is now been cut in half. We have Burma we have the Sudan we have Europe suffocated. By socialism. And I'm thinking for all your talk about the imperfections of the United States. I think it I don't understand why you Phil Donahue who is benefited as much as anybody."

" Doesn't."

" Ever extolled the virtues we beat back Nazis and we'd be back fascism totalitarianism. The nine elevenths commission report said the war war with us -- we Warner wore them. What do you want us to do sit here is sitting ducks I'm."

" I'm I'm happy to answer questions. But it wants to do is to bring. The United States constitution. I can argue that I have a problem more of a patriot Daniel. I believe a woman's home is a castle I don't think he should go rummaging through anybody's email without -- proper judicial warrants a simple citation about the socialist I also think. I also think if you shouldn't put a man and a cage. For six years no phone calls no Red Cross no visitation no nothing you're fooling with the bedrock of this nation. If we had obeyed the parents I also think the United States congress is the only agency that convict."

" Air war that the framers were right you can. You know conservatives keep telling liberals with that they don't love America I don't -- all of them do what on mutual help you to turn your back on the bill of rights and the constitution when it I watched your film and this is the case you make here. I'll -- all pull out the next segment you tell me where in the constitution. It says the specific words that must be used in a declaration of war because we didn't have as your movie points out. We we did that Democrats Republicans. They passed a resolution. That resolution was the authorization. Of the use some form I think is now I don't -- the capital have played it well in -- view the constitution you give me the exact words that it says we must -- to declare war it doesn't exist article on in -- article one cited her -- the -- only congress can declare war way to get authorization of the use of forces what. Right but let me quote James Madison. It's too much of the temptation for one man that's why only congress can declare war. What what this congress and and by the way congress has not done this since the early forties she you know it's they don't want the job. Because it's a third rail issue. This congress for the Iraq got a war resolutions that -- Mr. President if you think you have you. Go ahead go ahead benefit goes ahead it doesn't work they're going to say well I didn't let it. Parting shot every year but. And I know yeah that's part of spineless congress OK you could blame them but they did authorize force and forces war film wasn't it offers a consistent with the man that's what -- Aren't the competition dollar mandate any want to sit down it does not it does not give one man. The power to declare war which is what this congress presumed to -- I would give you 10000 dollars to pass out copies of -- war video if you show me the specific words that must be used. To declare war. So if your view that any president whatever he thinks we have do you know. Yet you've what you believe all men are created equal unless we're scared bulk I had thought of that only only congress can declare war unless we're frightened. I've got to take a break more with with and we have so many they wanted to do it okay we'll be back and will be back. You've just been able could."
