Automatically Generated Transcript (may not be 100% accurate)

" Hi I'm Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight -- believe there's even more chaos over Obama care and the economy. That is the subject of this evening's talking -- memo over the weekend health secretary Kathleen sibelius said that the public health care option. Is not essential. And that means -- secretary was signaling the White House may be backing away. From government run health care. However within 24 hours White House admissibility of some quote misspoke. Now an idea that you know this trouble disabilities is not the type person to -- she's almost robotic in her presentation. What likely happened is it hardcore liberals like Howard Dean Paul Krugman heard sibelius and went nuts because the far left fervently wants the federal government to run the nation's health care system. I think it's a fist -- and read distribute income much easier shifting resources to the poor and away from corporations and the apple. It's important that you understand the whole controversy is not really about health care. It's about socialism. And -- on the poster boys for that. Talking -- watch President Obama in Colorado on Saturday and once again I had no idea what the president was talking about. He went on and on about health care and all kinds of stuff. That seemingly. Only understands. How -- got. He can -- it nobody else can. -- use -- the the President Obama wants more fairness in the health care industry and it should be. He's got to come up with five bullet points that even I can understand that's a -- or five things that clearly tell us. Would Obama care would do. And I'll tell you walk. He can forget about the public option it's not gonna happen -- a liberal congress will not pass a huge federal entitlement when the country's on the verge of bankruptcy. In addition new Gallup poll out today says 57% of Americans do not believe the stimulus package working. At a new Fox News polls is 72%. Of Americans want on you stimulus money back. And that's a powerful 12 punch mr. Obama's vision most Americans are apparently fearful about health care and the economy. Unlike some others I do not think Barack Obama is evil man bent on destroying America I just think he's lost control of the process the rap on Obama from the job. Was that he had little policy experience. -- we not seeing that now. This health care initiative is a fiasco. And most clear thinking Americans no time -- that White House to regroup rethink and wise. And that's enough now the top story to."

Frontpage frontpage well no doubt people like you would mean judgment Pallet town try not to apply double standards so I would have said. George Bush does not intend to suppress my speech. He wants to know -- so I would never got in on the that's what you what is that I believe you're an honest man but who knows now. I don't. He isn't on I have to be honest I don't care what the White House says I don't care what Linda Douglass -- file want to criticize the White House health care plan. I'm gonna criticize you have a megaphone bigger than the White House the other -- it was -- me that's what Clinton did three years and roll right they can come after me right -- we that you -- right when you were speaking with money the White House is the pinnacle of power in reality and then perception. And the average Joe. Thinking that the White House is gonna record his and the shoes I don't -- I think getting I don't think my average Joe is intimidated by this I I always knew that it sends -- wrong message. But how -- is one person watching me tonight not want to. Who's not gonna give their opinion on health -- because of that can be -- I think you're right but it sends the wrong message and it's an illegal marriage in the let me wrap up my second -- don't -- my my wrap up assuming that three of us together in agreement that this particular president Barack Obama is not a man. Who wants to suppress any speech. And -- vigorous if they were waiting we're now -- if I
tech segment tonight a post on the White House web site is asking for information about quote fishy criticisms as we discussed. A president Obama's health care initiative. Now that some
Yeah what Barack Obama's doing I don't know if -- Obama's doing that and I'm playing devil's advocate here. On May -- he doesn't care about who's doing it he cares about what -- doing so he can refute the spin and propaganda whatever it. He's intimidating people from speaking out against -- you know. Well because the Supreme Court has said I don't care about that. The president as he can get it people from doing what if you're at a rally yeah and somebody comes up Q -- you because you're not afraid of anybody and since I'm taking that your name reporting on the White House the secret -- Illinois house I don't think the White House asked for that the White House wanted to know all white has said if there's anybody that says anything fishy about the president's program tell what -- anybody
he's wrong is that the distinction. Is between. Correcting misinformation. In the White House is asking for the opportunity you do that. Versus identifying individuals to suppress this but I do agree with the judge that
little bit of a happy face on -- now listen. The White House isn't like your website -- going to have one but I know if you do have -- Or. And a judge who gave the White House web sites not like that all my website Bill O'Reilly back up. The White House website. Is the old -- the pinnacle of how. There you have Linda Douglass we talked about with -- And Linda Douglass is basically issuing. -- a clarion call for information. That goals against. What the White House wants to do on health care. Just because it's coming out of the White House elevates this thing right through the roof. Well.

I actually think White House -- should be able to have meetings and not have to have been detailed up for everyone to see sometimes have public as Barack Obama said last night. The president noted that many of those meetings the press was allowed to come in and take pictures but doesn't have meetings that people want to know about I actually think I could keep it a secret but. The problem is that hypocrisy factor because in the energy task force of 2001 about Vice President Cheney -- for President Bush . Everybody went bonkers and they just had to know who exactly was in those meetings we went all the way to the
those things that happened between Saturday and Wednesday. They came to the White House last -- for a press conference and there was no drama. He let no fires -- he didn't answer a lot of
Sure what the White House has had a very bad week what with the Mayo clinic come announcing we -- thing the Congressional Budget Office coming out and say second lower costs could actually. Increased costs and that's why didn't even scored the darn thing. And yet the public opinion dropping as well and then. Interestingly enough you are just sit on this -- we were talking about how an organization called the citizen for responsibility and ethics. Was gonna file a lawsuit because they wanted to know who'd gone in the White House -- visitors log. End of the White House and release it until late in the day they released a letter. With all the names and now this group is San. That women we didn't want a letter we want the actual records because the record show what's. Who came in who they visited what time and all that other stuff so the White House thought they'd dodged around this but did you know. They haven't they've just -- you know delayed if they've extended one more
