" On the show bill is on the phone nice of you to join us this morning on the big show bill -- guys -- doing."

" Doing great film -- for joining us so we want to start by talking about the music has really consumed everyone this weekend and that is the Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is coming here. To New York to be tried in a civilian court -- federal court here you -- Geraldo had a dairy. Fiery exchange about this and it's because you disagree it sounds like with this idea are you comforted up at all by -- all those points. Or Eric Holder of the attorney general's point that. We successfully tried terrorist here in New York before and convicted then and nothing's gone wrong."

" Well it doesn't really matter. Is anything went wrong -- logistically. With the trial the trial gave al-Qaeda and the terrorist to propaganda. Value. And everybody knows the blind -- that was convicted of the first. World Trade Center bombing the lawyers got out there and they put the United States on trial that helped al-Qaeda al-Qaeda actually admits that. So look at. Although I think loss to debate on now Friday night when he said he would have taken Hermann -- second in command and that's Third Reich and tried it Nuremberg. Before he committed suicide he would've taken him to New York City for trial. So although clearly doesn't make a distinction between acts of war and --"

" Well I -- thing to me doesn't hold up either because bringing -- New York -- made much sense Nuremberg was the site where the Nazi party was started and founded in those ideas of the final solution grew out of Nuremberg so maybe in that backyard was maybe what her all the was trying to --"

" You there in the shadow of I don't know what he was -- for all that I respect his opinion even on this. -- And and and older the attorney general's clueless I mean this is the guy to. -- brought it home Marc Rich pardon the last they have Bill Clinton's term I mean this guy is really dangerous -- The attorney general I don't know where he's coming from but this trial's gonna take maybe 45 years gonna cost tens of millions of dollars. The lawyers are gonna get in there and they're gonna try the Bush Administration the CIA waterboarding that's what's gonna be on trial Michael you and -- haven't really admitted he did it."

" Yeah we -- with Karl -- about that yesterday bill I'm curious -- you've got the issued you discuss with money with providing a platform for terrorists their safety concerns for New York City what is your biggest concern though. About holding this in a criminal court. Here in New York."

" It becomes this circus and in hurts the 9/11 -- I'd like she's somebody take a poll of 9/11 -- and think if they think this is a good idea I will tell you I think 80% of them think this is an abomination."

" Well what how many people think this is an abomination trying to bring gitmo detainees to Illinois we're hearing word that the White House may be considering bringing. Detainees some 200 of them Al about a 160 miles of west of Chicago I believed to Thompson. Correctional facility which is vacant right now. Some say look -- bring about 3000 jobs to this area's been decimated the economy there is in the toilet. They're saying we don't want these guys in our backyard what do you say about this bill."

" Well I don't really care much about that. I I think the Guantanamo Bay facility has been used -- anti American propaganda I understand that. I think that the Bush Administration should have been much quicker in -- these people from the military tribunal and gotten them convict he quickly. So this wouldn't happen. They didn't think ahead Karl Rove told me. Thursday that he was held off that the Bush Administration has held up like challenges in this and that -- Sure I'd buy that I think they dragged their feet on it but look -- and a close get mall and you get a seven to Illinois the -- nowhere. And nobody else is there you -- put him in that facility I don't really care about that. But the propaganda value of a circus trial like -- Khalid Sheikh Mohammed that's gonna on the nation."

" Our -- let's talk about some big media news this week. Lou Dobbs longtime anchor at CNN. Announced that he was resigning let's play a moment of that."

" This will be my last broadcast here on CNN where -- work for morals of the past thirty years. -- I have many friends and colleagues whom I admire. Deeply and respect greatly. I'm the last of the original -- here on CNN I'm proud to have had the privilege of helping to build the world's first news network."

" He's not a -- and very controversial role on CNN you're going to be interviewing him on Monday what are you gonna ask him."

" Well -- gonna -- the facts here tomorrow night as you mentioned and you know basically I I think -- what happened there. Was this. Is driven by a dobbs is being anti illegal alien posture. Now I could be wrong about that and certainly an eight. I've been -- it. But I I think that CNN that it felt very uneasy because CNN lot of liberal viewers. -- dobbs day in day out pound in. The illegal alien deal so that you're gonna start and what you would he says but it should be very illuminating this is the first interview done is going to be given. Some of the publicly."

" Yeah should be -- lot of speculation some say he might run for senate some say he might be coming here even if Fox Business Network so. To quote you what say you what do you think we're --"

" Are offered in my job and I'll retire but I don't know -- Nobody security react to that kind of stuff like that no problem yeah LA -- a."

" Apple will make you jump into this next topic I want to hear what -- I want to hear your thoughts on this of course Sarah Palin. Coming out of the new book she's been working on it for quite awhile and it's out now. It and she's why gets -- with ghost -- as well. And it's slams isn't surprising revelations -- bill because you know there's not a lot of liberal -- being thrown by the by the Palin camp in this but a lot of them directed at the McCain campaign. In this book going robo what do you think about this well."

" She I'll get her on the factors Thursday Friday and the following Monday this -- Cummings. Thursday this coming Friday in the minutes following Monday nights -- share some of the guests with us -- Long -- the moment we can show. But look good I read the book my I think it's an interesting book I think governor pounds an interesting -- I wanna get to the bottom -- what happened. In. Certain examples. In certain situations in the -- might say a lot because I don't wanna. -- tell everybody what questions a -- split. The interview is more. Like the Obama interview that I did with him. It's -- trying to get to know. Sarah Palin in a way that hasn't been shown before. So that's very specific questions to the governor. About what happened to her why it happened and then. How she sees the country right now how she sees the world right now. So we're sitting -- prolong the deal this is going to be a long interview with -- And I I'm just really looking forward to -- I like her. I think she was treated unfairly. Brutally by the media and then I wanna you don't wanna know why she thinks they -- after -- hog wild wide. You don't Geraldine Ferraro never got that you know YE what you didn't -- Geraldine Ferraro running for vice president and -- running for vice president what's the difference why why did. Why did Palin get so much -- Farrar got a little bit but not like you're doing the."

" I had -- she's Sarah Palin -- a bit of a curious book tour right now in this she's spending a lot of time in small towns in Ohio and Indiana. And this Virginia. And -- again but she's avoiding places like New York City what do you think is really going on hair."

" Well I think Sarah Palin has political aspirations. In the future I could be wrong about that as well certainly gonna get into that with -- How she sees herself. -- evolving. -- So we're gonna ask you about that and then she's playing to -- strengthening when I I've sold a lot of books in my career. And where you -- always wear the audiences. You don't -- audiences in these places so that's where Sarah Palin is going that shouldn't shock anybody who she's called real America that I had to tell -- that I mean those people are gonna. Gonna respond to her and they -- buy her book. Now it -- when I put up my next book of my going to San Francisco to sell it -- I'm not gonna go there. I'm told it's huge. Also what -- what the media doesn't Sarah Palin is everything a woman does they'd blow -- It is some kind of sinister motivation. That's the bottom line on. But the real fascinating question is why. Why would they do it well in --"

" like the current interview which she answered questions about this weekend and she -- is seen with Oprah she even had trouble -- answering that question about the Couric interview which many people I think he even including yourself so it was a fair interview -- was. She wasn't she wasn't coming after her like a pit bull in any sort of looking -- over her."

" In in the book. Sarah Palin says that she booted the interview I'm issued a -- about -- booted it it was and one of her finest moments now. Why she -- it will will discuss that. But it did look to me in reading the book. But they were overloading of her bonds say this say that -- say that don't say this don't say that that's what happened to President Bush. They would overload a month so much stuff that. They get in there any forget battery -- only be thinking about instead answering the questions. Continue about what he should say. Rather than speaking from the heart that's would look to me. Now I didn't speak to Katie Couric a Friday night. About how that interview. I have you don't want a dumb dumb crap and you know that's that's what they've we do here that we -- He's and out I tell you which he called me but you know it would adjusting from Katie Couric supported you how she saw the interview and will discuss that we."

" We're we're -- the governor as well we're looking forward to that interview as well as interview with Lou Dobbs tomorrow night. And the folks out there are thrilled because Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly are also going on tour around the country as well well -- should be no well also I cops searched."

" I'm I'm frightened about this. The -- trust to work the the though he had some bold fresh to -- we just don't look at the fourth date to gonna do -- As South Carolina Charles Carolina Norfolk Virginia and what's very out in Long Island. Just for fun we just -- fine and -- what instrument do you play. --"

" And they're not going to close these districts can you believe the elements that I'm sorry I'm -- go to -- to a noise. That's what is the most watched show on television wants cable news that is Bill O'Reilly to host the O'Reilly Factor Lou Dobbs on Monday Sarah Palin -- just learning at the end of the week on a Monday well. Soundtrack -- thanks so much for waking up and you have. Okay guys thank you."
