Oreilly & Stossel - The Big Bailout

[theyeti101101]

All this AND Pink floyd's Money?

Niiiiiiiiice.

[SeductionMyth]

Stossel is great. There is one more scam he should investigate - the whole seduction community.

There is not even 1 (one) scientific study confirming the ideas some guys who call themselves pick-up artists spread. But they still make big buck selling that nonsense and even mainstream media bought it!

" Crisis is the friend of the state" More power, more money to it and its cohorts, less freedom and money to us. Sounds about right.

[2100v]

Government regulators are too busy downloading porn to oversee companies.

[Goodatconnect4]

Something tells me that O'Reilly doesn't know that Harry Markopoulos had been writing the SEC about a fraud named Bernie Madoff for 9 years before they did anything.

[ZerogunRivale]

I don't understand why O'Reilly has the 8 o'clock (the most important) timeslot, honestly. Good thing the Judge is on at the same time so I have someone intelligent to watch.

On that note, Stossel is an amazing factual debater.

[halvor311]

I'd like someone to respond: Why not bail out the people who were given bad mortgages and let these companies go under?

[mumuchu99]

capitalism =profit and LOSS. end of debate

[YuberSepiroth]

john stossel was slapped in the face by a wrestler. he got owned

[IndividualParties]

@YuberSepiroth

LOL, I didn't realize that was John Stossel, I just looked it up and it was him! He was young back then. XD, that was almost 30 years ago.

[thecomputergurukid]

People like John Stossel caused the Great Depression. You can't just let banks fail, you get a depression doing that.

[GoingGoingGalt]

@thecomputergurukid Bank failures did not cause the Depresssion. Know your facts, sir.

[Wolky702]

@thecomputergurukid yeah, no... I m gonna start a bank, and spend as much money as i want... but... u cant let my bank fail?! it ll cause a depression... BU HU

[ImEuanAndIGotsSkeelz]

lol wow billo kept pretty level headed here, thought he was gonna pop any second

[13lackLight]

John Stossel needs to replace Glenn Beck. He's a true libertarian. He is out to inform and persuade, and he never tries to get involved in partisan bickering. Glenn Beck pretends to be a libertarian but all he cares about are ratings and fear mongering.

[nagasnharpes]

The best libertarian at raping people in arguments was Milton Friedman. He could take down any liberal or conservative an in argument with just Logic and Factual information. Its impossible to win against Milton Friedman because he argues like a true scientist, if you disagree with him your arguing against theories and laws.

[EGarrett01]

@nagasnharpes

Yes, and not only that, he did it with a smile. Not only did you get exposed for being wrong, you looked like a jerk compared to him.

[kroovyandcal]

bill o'reilly is a worhless speaker taking up my oxygen. he should just shut up. mass media cullings should be imminent

[FantomShadowz]

Stossel speaks and thinks like a true American should.

[al8397138]

hey and a year later what happend the bail out came and we are still in a recession .. but wait the bankers got trillions ... so they made out ok ... plus thebillions the have gone un acounted for ..... so the only people that got ffffff over wus us the lower class and middle class .

[K5GIXX]

@al8397138 thank you exactly

[manoman0]

Deich, Water, Panic, the only option we have, shore it up...words with no meaning...reflects incompetence on basically every level...

[truevoice08]

Oreilly once again has shown that he has no principles.

[Melville10]

Stossel always give Oreilly the "what the hell are you looking at me for?" look

[benmaloney1]

Land of the free, home of the BRAVE. Stossel isn't afraid of any recession, depression, whatever. We shouldn't be either because America has gotten through it before DESPITE fdr. We should fear the huge federal government because they'll screw it all up... red or blue.

[drmodestoesq]

History has proved O'Reilly right on one point. Stossel asks what will prevent the banks from making bad loans in the future. As of this date, people like Donald Trump (sorry, he's the best I could do off the top of my head) say the banks are tight fisted and not loaning to anybody. They seem determined to try and lower the amount of leverage they have. Also, in my opinion, most businesses know that if they ask for a government loan during a recession, they get it, not in a recovery.

[curryay]

@ drmodestoesq - i think banks should be tight fisted. They have a duty to their shareholders and members to be successful and recoop what the they lent out. History has shown us that people that pay their bills on time, have sensible spending habits and save instead or charge can repay those debts. What is happening is the gov't is forcing banks to lend money to the folks that normally wouldn't get approved; those are the same that default. BANG housing lending market turns upside down.

[jgrimsl1]

O'reilly = propaganda.  Stossel = honest, logical reporting on important issues.

[kingincrimson]

"but with cocks ahead of the FCC" hahaah

[wachman]

to hell with O'Reilly, if Stossel was as assertive on his beliefs as Bill is, it would be called the Stossel Factor. I think he can be, but he really needs to start showing it to get himself some ground in the libertarian side of things in the media.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Stossel!!!!!

Ditch ABC and come over to FOX News!!!

Your a libertarian working for a hard left wing media.

[MindCBase]

he did :D

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

yeah, i know.

[nexus411]

o'reily is a dunce

[fluff125]

Never debate Stossel, you will get fucking raped

[NoUseForAName06]

Wow, stossel is awesome.... so calm and assertive...

[UncommonThinker]

Moderate rights (Oreily) vs libertarian (Stossel). In hind sight the libertarian side was right. Like usual.

[TimeWarp66]

Indeed.

[funktroop3r]

It's never wrong to choose liberty.

[bbg5000]

Both bail outs were completely idiotic. It would have been more beneficial to put that money in the companies that weren't going bankrupt, or into new companies. It's like what, 16,000$ in spending for every American... imagine if they'd just bailed out the people, so they could pay off their debts, which would take that burden off companies, and that would have freed up a lot of capital for these companies. And any leftovers would stimulate the economy. That's how the bail out shoulda gone

[timetraveler3797]

Well sure, people already paid those taxes, they just would get refunded, it's not socialism.

[rescuemay]

Stossel is the bommmbbbb

[americadashi]

conservative vs liberal i think

[superdinoyoshi]

technically, a conservative (O'reily) vs a libertarian (Stossel). But O'Reily isn't a true conservative if he's supporting the bail out.

[americadashi]

i accept your statement

[bbg5000]

You can say that now, but Bush's bailout was accepted as God's word by most conservatives. But when Obama did it, most conservatives flip flopped on the issue, and liberals too. It would be more accurate to say Bill O'Reilly is a Republican, because he'll blindly support the party on all majority positions, and oppose the Democrats on their key positions.

[DyeTyme]

Bill O'Reilly is a fake Republican aka neocon

[mrblujet]

I completely disagree with you on your point. Most conservatives were AGAINST the bailout, hence why Republicans are losing more and more support from conservatives.

I personally have been consistent in my criticism on this bailout by attacking both Bush and Obama. This is a true example of the lack of difference between Republicans and Democrats.

[BRYAN351]

mrblujet, that's why we Libertarians call them all "Republicrats."

[Cypressmyst]

Free Market Free Market Blah Blah Blah.

[ForTehNguyen]

dont let a crisis go to waste

[ronrutherford]

"I would argue that nobody knew what was happening. Everybody was too busy buying things." Then you should spend less time commenting on YouTube videos and more time looking into the economist Peter Schiff, as well as MANY other Austrian Economists. But oh well, the lies of 1) no one saw this coming (to make the market seem unstable and scary) and 2) that it was too LITTLE regulation to blame will continue to prosper. It's easier to understand a dumb lie than a correct opinion which isnt slick

[libertarianjury]

Bill is a fookin mongoloid. He defends and denounces the concept of property rights from one sentence to the next.

It doesn't get any stupider than Bill defending the bailout. Stossel has towering intellect and integrity --Bill has a bunch of bad brainwashing. For a further intellectual revelation (somewhat heavy reading) read Hayek's "Why I am not a conservative". That's all I have to say about bloviating blowhard Bill-O.

Vote Libertarian!

[cherryblossom39]

I second that opinion!

[CorrosionX3]

Austrian economists have been warning about this for years, but the monopoly men of the government didn't care, they wanted the market to crash. Now they want to pose as saviors while they continue to ignore sound austrian economic advice and theory.

[phattonez]

Larry Elder is right: O'Reilly is a populist.

[crawfishpolecat]

Obama is showing he cannot think on his feet and cannot speak extemporaneously off the cuff. he is apparently a little ignorant about the economy.

[kidShaman]

BO : "...but the dike is breaking, alright? Don't you have to stop the water, and then make the dike stronger?"

This is why we have both environmental AND economic disasters - because statists, like O'Reilly think they understand, and act in ignorance.

When a dike breaks, millions of gallons of water rushing at you, is THAT the best time to go over to PATCH THE LEAK? Hell no!

Time is PASSED for this. The answer is - GET OUT OF THE WAY!! Help people, allow the system to equilibrate.

[luckyvet]

Stossel = the absolute best of the best.

[Juanmag84]

"Gov't can't even count the votes correctly"

Brilliant

[drhoffma]

Amen

[sillyjipsy]

The "Stos" with another great quote and Fact

[Bustafunny]

Billo made the logical mistake of assuming there are only two choices, e.g. pass the bailout *or* do nothing (and "watch it fall"). There are a host of things the government can do that would help such as reducing regulation (mark to market comes to mind) reduce spending (withdrawing from Iraq is one way) but printing money by the dump truckload and pouring it down rat-holes only helps those at the bottom of the rat-holes, not the general economy.

[jsyc07]

O'Reilly is interviewing the wrong guy! Stossel does great work but he is no economist and clearly does not understand the problems of ouor economy. Interview Peter Schiff or Jim Rogers!

[vaughn8113]

And O'Reily is an economist? He does not have a clue when it comes to the economy.

[jsyc07]

I agree. O'Reilly doesn't understand the economy. But he is supposed to be the journalist doing an interview. At least he should interview someone who saw these problems coming.

[vaughn8113]

Well, maybe O'Reily want to be a hero and solve all of our problems.

P.S. I would argue that nobody knew what was happening. Everybody was too busy buying things.

[jsyc07]

You're probably right about O'Reilly. He thinks he knows everything and if we just listen to him the world will be a better place.

P.S. There are a number of people that forecasted this economic collapse years ago. The average American was in the mall running up his credit card debt but guys like Peter Schiff and Jim Rogers saw this coming. There are plenty of youtube clips from 2006 that show their predictions.

[wolfborn10]

Stossel isn't an economist?

So much for ALL his videos on economic topics...

[jsyc07]

That doesn't make him an economist. He's a journalist that understands certain ideas about economics. He understands how gov't interference will distort an economy and do more harm. But from what I've heard he doesn't understand the fundamental problems of our economy.

[soxfan0408]

I dont know if I agree with Stossel not understanding the fundamentals of the economy but for the sake of argument i'll agree. What I really respect about him is that he has had some of the heavy hitters of economics like Milton Friedman come on and talk about economics. These are the guys we should be listening to

[jsyc07]

I'm not a big fan of Milton Friedman since he is a monetarist. I've seen some recent Stossel work and interviews and I think he is gaining more understanding. Stossel has been on Fox's Freedom Watch with Peter Schiff and other real economists so I think he is learning a lot more.

[DONTtell1]

im on cam and bored

i liked this video :) uZ

[WSOR4025]

The thing about this bail out that bugs me is the people responsible (US Gov forcing loans) are the very people we are now trusting to get us out of this. Government will not reform the policy of forcing loans, they will blame wall street and the free market for this crisis. They will use this to take more of our freedoms and put more restrictions on the free market. Maybe it is time we tear it all down and start over or at least go back to a very limited government like the constitution says.

[bahramf]

John Stassi

[redrajani]

stossel is the shit! badass last word!

[ModernSurvivor]

John Stossel is my new hero.

[chrisvet1]

John Stossel = Honorable truthful man

Oreilly = actor / neocon

[stealthswimmer]

You think O Reilly only ACTS like a neocon?

:D

[myiqisinfinity]

it's steven colbert in a o reilly suit

[FSM2786]

I don't know who the Stossel guy is but I agreed with what he said, I just wish he had a little more time.

[ab1tchslap]

oh my gowd how could you not know who john stossel is?

[FreeFragSGS]

Once again, O'Reilly was proven dead wrong. Everything he said was wrong here. Not only are we headed downhill here, but the bailout bill he suupports has hurt foreign economies tied to us.

What an idiot.

[mwbrady68]

I now understand why O'Reilly is such an idiot. He never shuts up. If he'd clamp his yapper for a few minutes he might learn something.

[grantsinmypants2]

How is short-term thinking and a lack of adhearance to free market principles going to solve a crisis instigated by short-term thinking and a lack of adhearance to free market principles?

[grantsinmypants2]

O'Reilly is such a sophist and a partisan. His verbiage boils down to, bascially, a demand for a magical leveling of all information, available to anyone at any time. This is not, and never will be, possible. In fact, it is disparities in information which makes the market move!

Another point: How is creating $800B out of thin air going to shore up anything?

[Dallouez]

In our State 60% are against the bail out! Since 80% -90% of government is Democraps. Is this a dirty trick of Obama to make the Rep look bad because the Pres is Rep. to swing the election. Most of the people supporting Obama can cause this to happen. PS The people bailed out are Obama, Hillary and Democraps. Stossel had his say!

[Tidoublemy]

I appreciate O'reilly but I wish he let Stossel speak more - he has great insight on things.

[audioX1]

You appreciate O'reilly? He's literally wrong on EVERY issue.

[zacideamus]

How?
