After the Show Show: 4/30

" We're waiting. The fact that these companies are dependent on it. And making them into an extension of the federal government in a way that is extremely unhealthy and I think of the faster all of this gets. I'm done. And they get out from under the -- obligation to help through that the ultimately for the economy."

" But Charles in the meantime. If if the taxpayers have their money these companies -- some say over the -- of the TARP money has to come with a lot of strings attached right."

" Do you think you would like to -- together banking system in which the banks are acting in the interest of the banks as. Normally happens in an economy cannot responding. To lead the dictates of a government that is trying to help the UAW."

" Jobs this -- the candidates pushing the protection plan if you lose your job Americans will pick up the bill for nonchalant when all this madness and Jason why -- the other auto makers raising their voices about unfair competition. Major will this be do you think. What what do you look at for the rest this week obviously you -- swine flu H one N one virus out there. You've got the issues that that the administration still talking about interrogation. And techniques they don't want -- be talking about it but it's still there."

" I think -- in having your major question is even better than -- realized last night because Bob gates section defense testifying this afternoon before the Senate Appropriations Committee I believe. -- that -- fifty million dollars in supplemental in case they have to build -- prison in the US to hold the prisoners who were in Guantanamo. Well and gates when asked about this so why you have to hold -- working this all out if they're gonna go he's gotten -- up so well that maybe about fifty to a hundred. Who we not to be able to put on trial -- not to -- too dangerous to release so we may end up in the ludicrous position of having President Obama close Guantanamo. And we're gonna build a little Guantanamo somewhere in the US and still -- holding 75 -- hundred prisoners without trial. Without charges but not able to release them with the human rights groups and international. You know groups going crazy that how do you hope these people would definitely -- so. It would have been and I do think this story is not going away -- and it's like -- that's what -- have to."

" All right -- I would say that's the next big story this administration that's why I had sort of focused in on the future of the Guantanamo detainees in my unasked question last night because I really do think after if you look at the look at the polling data and there's lots of very good polling data for this White House -- justifiably. Pounding their chest about it build a hundred days never -- anything it'll remember that hundred days meant nothing. They're two piece of polling data that are bad this White House 153%. NBC Wall Street Journal opinion poll said they objected and oppose the president's decision to release those memoranda. 50% opposed his decision on Guantanamo without even knowing the details what's going to become of the detainees. These -- two very big stories for the White House one has already begun to play out. Next on the detainees will be playing how the next couple of weeks Eric Holder made that clear as the attorney general traveling to Europe this week publicly. Not begging but -- teaching European countries to do what they always imply they would do which is -- a good president came along close Guantanamo. They would help out so far we have one -- going to France. No the public commitments administration is looking desperately to Europe to find those commitments how those will happen and will not -- be any financing along with that we don't know yet."

" And don't forget that you have Bob from air base in Afghanistan where some detainees -- being moved there. And there's a legal fight going on to to determine whether those detainees will have an ability to challenge their detention in US civilian court. It is messy this whole situation --"

" Illogical it's as if the problem. Guantanamo is geographical. The problem is that -- can you hold people without child like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Indefinitely until the -- which could be endlessly. Or not and the answer has to be of course yes you can never completes the guy. And and to do so would be completely responsible so whether it's in Guantanamo or blogger on the as you said -- in new president will be. -- that -- huge expensive -- in the United States is essentially an irrelevancy closing Guantanamo solves none of these."

" Major thank you as always. Great -- by the way a lot of."

" And I like the question and -- and questioned that non question gonna promote it everywhere. Take all right I didn't change affects you didn't get one either what was your question -- what I -- questions one -- about."

" How that government was going to exercise its rights and responsibilities as a shareholder minority -- held in an attempt by other question was about. That the promise that he's made not to protect it for people who make under 250000. Dollars which he's said the word promise but when you. Press administration officials but this they describe it as more of a goal and I was going to ask him to -- to clarify that now."

" Great to become a promise a promise to become a -- to I promise to work towards is going right. -- a hope didn't have an intention AST he says this gitmo issue is a great example of letting her serve politics paint you into a corner when you have. To actually govern. It's it's an issue that's not one way you said."

" Yeah I mean there's things will happen of their government decisions that Europeans will respond to them. They going to try to bring some people that it looks like very soon there it is seventeen Uighurs are very weak leaders of winners and everything you have it from western China. -- allegedly less I mean it's complicated and -- appearances -- the Chinese Government they also didn't go through terror training camps in Afghanistan some people think and how much benefit if he released here. Under some kind of supervision Virginia. And Virginia right now leaders of those shots yeah because of -- in Virginia. But I mean it if you think about the politics -- touched on this. We just the Davis at the deadline for the end of the year that should be guaranteed in a way to stories every week or two of right what which detainees who don't -- they can measure next start will be slow night here's the plane with six detainees landing in Kansas City. And it's just gonna be -- right well. It's -- of my civic leaders yeah. But it's not a good as if the story ever emerges about the notion of reparations. -- government's support for these people that that in the numbers you site. -- but it's 5050 is gonna be in twining yet. Reparations for the terrorists as a terrorist helped and who attended his admiral Dennis Blair who first talked about that. And he said that there may be a time when we need to help these folks out it's assembly of students -- people -- just went out her -- is what happens. Where they already have ACLU lawyers who were being sent to court -- that -- About Tom Doggett -- and it all that. But once they're released. Then you're really gonna get suits you know. Criminal and civil -- for damages of some of them weren't treated properly and it's going to just bespectacled cycle to go away."

" And by the way is senate minority leader Mitch McConnell is is bringing his -- a lot on Capitol Hill fighting this enhanced. He put out a press release just the other day saying Virginia -- for terrorists. Thank you not think you Mitch McConnell. I got a contract Gerald. US sovereign soil right like gitmo they can't be touched legally right. The problem -- that -- a federal judge has made a ruling that three of them can. Challenge their detention in US civilian court now that the administration is going to appeal that likely -- transport. And that's an interest in buying -- because there's. You know one case to be made that the -- candidate Obama talked about on the campaign trail and another of the reality of his administration having --"

" Always a human being sometimes painful adjustment period when all these promises. Are kind of made to fit into these these narrow confines and and competing pressures of governing and and I think this is one area that's going to be really hard. You know I think that that the that the torture all of that seems clear and simple we don't torture when -- these enhanced interrogation. That that's fine. But what are you gonna do. About prosecutions that's another thing that the president kind of I tried to find middle ground for common ground and it turns out there really isn't any. I'm so -- all of these things this is why the 100 day is such a silly marker -- because it's too early it's less than 110 I think it's like 7% or something like right out of the first term. And you know it's -- look -- things are gonna look very different -- nothing he's going to be unsuccessful but things are gonna look very different six months from now."

" Okay a lot of comments about Arlen Specter they want to get everybody. Weighing in on on arms inspector. Is it a non event does it matter. His vote probably is not going to change the way legislatively. Things I disagree Barney."

" I think it's a huge event for a lot of different reasons yes Arlen Specter is independent and he is going to vote his own mind on many issues he already did he voted against the president's budget. Just as he's becoming a member of the president's party. But there -- a lot of party line votes that you vote with your party whether it's for cloture. And that's going to -- a huge difference have a little cheers when we stopped -- they had on the and then cloture it isn't what can you -- to stop the minority. From using their power of the filibuster to stop legislation and assuming Al Franken is seated which I think it a couple of months he should be one Norm Coleman exhausts his. Legal. Writes. You know sixty votes is a huge difference and I think it will make a difference -- it's -- huge difference for the Republican Party you know they probably have very very few moderates left I think it's good for parties to be diverse. But yes the president just. I have. Less need to reach after Republicans and he has a little bit -- sailing his children have provisions of us Democrats but he hasn't mark clear sale and get his priorities and."

" butler says Specter will make them wish they had never heard of him quickly enough he hasn't been important since the Clarence Thomas hearings. You know on the issue for example of card check. Employee free choice act he -- said that he's going to vote against it however now he's going to run it. In a democratic primary in Pennsylvania in which there would likely be from union building pressure to vote on yes on that. Because it it basically makes it easier for unions can just -- and over on -- day we'll Arlen Specter have reversed himself again unconscious. It's only a question -- when I say within six months he would have a collective -- was way back just because he'll do different than what he'll do -- those who wants to be different. He'll support a compromise of sorts would say it doesn't pass in the end. The Democrats I can't imagine if he wants to stay alive politically which he does that's what all this which was about. He will not find a way to support the union position ultimately. It's look this is a man who as nice -- last night Jonathan -- of the new republic has thrown an unprincipled -- And I'm not sure that after forty years you change."

" I think -- that one question a couple of questions from folks. About the Republican Party who first talked about Specter but then you get to blunt the state of the Republican Party as we've talked about."

" I do think it's going to have to change -- back and carjacking was a cosponsor it three years ago if something isn't always against us. I'd be changed against it under pressure from what would look -- let Republican primary challenge from conservative. I'm not so sure you don't other Democrats don't like card check. But now it's harder for them. He is -- is this is Harry Reid's going to bring it to a vote and I think it there's now a real chance -- the past week. Which is a mixed blessing and this is why the whole spectrum that is -- mixed -- to Democrats really what -- in the position to get past everything. That they can pass. I had to -- to governing no Republican obstructionism for the next year and a half. That needed at some point I think either they don't have stuff and -- democratic defections which is -- story. Or they pass everything in the country looks up -- October 30 and thinks yeah I certainly don't we need to have some checks and -- I think it's not a -- and then Republicans -- health and -- checks and balances well I think in Macon Montgomery -- yeah that's right they -- handed -- let -- you know -- you know putting a lot of pressure on that. Look I'm more bullish on the Republican Party than -- outside you know its inspectors not a rising young star defecting to the Democrats swept. Contrary. The parties had a rough two or three years but at the end of the day. The -- the Republican numbers are down compared to Democrats are not down as fast. People think but they're down some. The numbers that when you ask Americans are you liberal moderate -- conservative they've changed almost not at all conservatives are treated to a liberals there a lot of moderates. Obviously -- can the Republicans have conservatives who can get moderate votes. Which that's in trouble that we can pass but it you know I I I think actually its its its way overstated the kind of determine -- of how the Republicans are just going down the slope."

" Right let me I get a couple comment -- in Austin says Democrats have actually no excuses now they own everything they just push down the pike. We'll see a lot of comments about about that we have James Rosen now from the State Department and James we actually. Had a poll about what you should talk about and 69%. Of our. Viewers readers. Online. People. Say that you should talk about Pakistan. That was -- the big story about what's happening disturbing news out of Pakistan."

" Yes -- and Fox News was able to report exclusively today that General David Petraeus the commander of US Central Command. Has been telling lawmakers here in Washington and also senior Obama administration officials. But the next two weeks are critical to determining whether Pakistan's government is going to be able to survive in this battle with Taliban and al-Qaeda extremist. But one thing I didn't get to report on our show earlier tonight. Which would like to share with your audience are the views lawmakers and military analysts and officials who have been talking with who said. That even if bizarre -- government in Islamabad were to fall to the Taliban. They still believe the Pakistani army could survive. And continue to exert control over Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. And that even -- the nuclear arsenal to fault of the Taliban it would still take the Taliban probably weeks if not months to develop a sophisticated. Command and control type of expertise."

" I that it could who possibly would what happened before the start our government actually went down in flames is seeing is it to me that -- is there. Everybody can see how -- the government is Obama spoke about it last night and -- Conference he talked about it is really government. Which is not delivering anything which people that's all the way to help a government. But nonetheless you can see it collapse and the only institution Pakistan that -- an army. I cannot incentives for months now I hope that the administration has plans. To work with a military government which I think is sort of almost inevitable -- Because it's going to be the only institution and will be able to hold Pakistan together against -- mortal enemy the idea that we're going to wait a week or two or month or two until. The bad guys can't tell what got command and control of -- is staying on the day -- take -- India is going to attack or are working out to attack and season. The -- nuclear facilities we cannot possibly allow even a chance. Of the bad guys could be in control of those new."

" And that's is very frightening Pakistan. Martha press conference last night the president was asked about controlling nuclear weapons he said it was very -- and."

" very confident that. -- nuclear arsenal safe but he's confidant from according to secretary of state from the Pakistani government. And the Pakistani military. I mean they've been working for years to get some kind of a system to keep to keep those and say look this is a very scary situation -- He said he also said last night that the Pakistan government is very fragile. I think that's an extraordinary thing hearing hearing -- present in the United States with the government that is. One step away from being a failed state -- talented state and it has nuclear weapons. This is a crisis I think that's coming -- the president's doorstep faster than he kind of government."

" Yeah a lot of people saying it's scary situation Marion and Montana. The nuclear arsenal key fear in Pakistan change anything else from secretary -- testimony. -- adjusting she stood by what President Obama said last night about the relative confidence in the security of Pakistan -- nuclear arsenal that was very different. From what gets sent to me in my interview with her in Baghdad this past Saturday. When I asked her about it she said it is safe -- believed that only given the current configuration of power in Pakistan and she went on to tell me. And I quote now if the worst the unthinkable were to happen. And this advancing Taliban encourage and support -- al-Qaeda and other extremists were to essentially topple the government for failure to beat them back. Then they would have the keys to the nuclear arsenal Pakistan and we can't even contemplate that so very different. When she spoke to me in Baghdad today when she was asked about this on the simple for the Senate Appropriations Committee she's if you prefer to go into closed session --"

" Kind of remind you of the attack on the Falklands. Thirty years ago there's always some things that appears on the world scene. That nobody expected is under the radar imagine how many of us a year don't -- we're thinking about Palin's allies actually control of the nuclear arsenal. Yeah and and the administration as you say he's talking about a matter of two weeks."

" Yeah I'd be willing to let -- the al-Qaeda and the Taliban have the Falklands frankly. Federal without the -- request. Bill I think glassware from Pakistan. I think the army would take -- before al-Qaeda got the nuclear -- but is is a good instance where you know it's always. The country you don't expect. There isn't dominating the news more than in Iraq. Afghanistan that's Afghanistan. And Iran would practice -- the three obvious target you know things were all talking about for the last. Few months and it could be Dicey and in that could be the tough decisions for President Obama to make it had a little busy doing. Send in the future if we assure ourselves and look at nuclear arsenal -- senator I mean you know. We approve a cholesterol suggests and what's our public position if it comes to it apparent. We're gonna wrap -- there."

" And you know here's our polls is the swine flu concern for you know 87%. Biggest story of the day the auto maker -- 59%. And one of our -- think about what impression James rhodesian -- should should leave -- 57%. Say Ringo Starr. Well now channel -- got I can tell from this process and that the number of corporate masters I serve is expanding exponentially. I mean listen you know you started its. But I -- continuing -- and I have to disappoint the fans because I can actually do ring missile it will do Paul McCartney OK all right and the thing that is most striking when you listen to Paul McCartney interviewed. Today is that has nothing left to say he has said at all. And so the banality of his answers written it sounds something like this -- the thing about The Beatles rules. -- that we requirements. You know we used to John. Would you go into the studio and cool music and then selling. ITunes that was -- great -- to be tools you really who have -- and if isn't quite walking by -- estate department -- I think Paul McCartney for only."

" That's you don't -- Right about. Oh man -- and I love it where you run it out I know you're running out I don't know how many more weeks -- yeah about as many as resort -- government -- Candidate should. James as always thank you very much thank you can just for everybody who watched the show I can -- negotiate. It was on the teleprompter. And it was kind of felt little well my -- just for just totally froze and you know have teleprompter and she just. He's got to go with punches. Barack Obama said his own teleprompter issues. Thank you we'll -- part of this vision has special report on line we hope you'll tune in weekdays of course and Fox News at 6 PM eastern join us Wednesday. Wednesday next week for the webcast at -- eastern control room to get away from everybody. They can say. Every word that comes after this. Not everybody. We'll see you next week."
