You're welcome. Here is a more complete transcript:
Bill OReilly: I think that the Iraq thing has been full of unintended consequences and its a vital thing for the country and it's brutal, its absolutely brutal. We should all take it very seriously. This simplistic stuff about hating Bush or he lied and all this stuff, does the country no good at all. We've got to win this thing. You have to win it. And even though it's a screw-up, giant, massive, all right, right now, for everybody's protection, it's best for the world to have a democracy in that country functioning and friendly to the West, is it not?
David Letterman: Yes, absolutely.
OReilly: Okay, so let's stop with the lying and the this and the that and the undermining and let's get him. That is putting us all in danger. So our philosophy is we call it as we see it. Sometimes you agree, sometimes you don't. Robust debate is good. But we believe that the United States, particularly the military, are doing a noble thing, a noble thing. The soldiers and Marines are noble. They're not terrorists. And when people call them that, like Cindy Sheehan called the insurgents 'freedom fighters, we don't like that. It is a vitally important time in American history. And we should all take it very seriously. Be very careful with what we say.
Letterman: Well, and you should be very careful with what you say also. [audience applause]
OReilly: Give me an example.
Letterman: How can you possibly take exception with the motivation and the position of someone like Cindy Sheehan?
OReilly: Because I think shes run by far-left elements in this country. I feel bad for the woman.
Letterman: Have you lost family members in armed conflict?
OReilly: No, I have not.
Letterman: Well, then you can hardly speak for her, can you? [applause]
OReilly: Im not speaking for her. Let me ask you this question.
Letterman, referring back to OReillys examples of a war on Christmas: Lets go back to your little red and green stories.
OReilly: This is important, this is important. Cindy Sheehan lost a son, a professional soldier in Iraq, correct? She has a right to grieve any way she wants, she has a right to say whatever she wants. When she says to the public that the insurgents and terrorists are 'freedom fighters, how do you think, David Letterman, that makes people who lost loved ones, by these people blowing the Hell out of them, how do you think they feel, waht about their feelings, sir?
Letterman: What about, why are we there in the first place? [applause] The President himself, less than a month ago said we are there because of a mistake made in intelligence. Well, whose intelligence? It was just somebody just get off a bus and handed it to him?
Bill OReilly: No.
Letterman: No, it was the intelligence gathered by his administration.
OReilly: By the CIA.
Letterman: Yeah, so why are we there in the first place? I agree to you, with you that we have to support the troops. They are there, they are the best and the brightest of this country. [audience applause] Theres no doubt about that. And I also agree that now were in it its going to take a long, long time. People who expect its going to be solved and wrapped up in a couple of years, unrealistic, its not going to happen. However, however, that does not eliminate the legitimate speculation and concern and questioning of Why the Hell are we there to begin with?
OReilly: If you want to question that, and then revamp an intelligence agency thats obviously flawed, the CIA, okay. But remember, MI-6 in Britain said the same thing. Putins people in Russia said the same thing, and so did Mubaraks intelligence agency in Egypt.
Letterman: Well then that makes it all right?
OReilly: No it doesnt make it right.
Letterman: That intelligence agencies across the board makes it alright that were there?
OReilly: It doesnt make it right.
Letterman: See, Im very concerned about people like yourself who dont have nothing but endless sympathy for a woman like Cindy Sheehan. Honest to Christ. [audience applause]
OReilly: No, Im sorry.
Letterman: Honest to Christ.
OReilly: No way. [waits for applause to die down] No way youre going to get me, no way that a terrorist who blows up women and children.
Letterman: Do you have children?
OReilly: Yes I do. I have a son the same age as yours. No way a terrorist who blows up women and children is going to be called a freedom fighter on my program. [mild audience applause]
Letterman: Im not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling, I have the feeling about 60 percent of what you say is crap. [audience laughter] But I dont know that for a fact. [more audience applause]
Paul Shafer: 60 percent.
Letterman: 60 percent. I'm just spit-balling here.
OReilly: Listen, I respect your opinion. You should respect mine.
Letterman: Well, ah, I, okay. But I think youre-
OReilly: Our analysis is based on the best evidence we can get.
Letterman: Yeah, but I think theres something, this fair and balanced. I'm not sure that it's, I don't think that you represent an objective viewpoint.
OReilly: Well, youre going to have to give me an example if you're going to make those claims.
Letterman: Well I dont watch your show so that would be impossible.
OReilly: Then why would you come to that conclusion if you don't watch the program?
Letterman: Because of things that Ive read, things that I know.
OReilly: Oh come on, you're going to take things that you've read. You know what say about you? Come on. Watch it for a couple, look, watch it for a half hour. You'll get addicted. You'll be a Factor fan, we'll send you a hat.
Letterman: Youll send me a hat. Well, send Cindy Sheehan a hat
OReilly: Ill be happy to.
Im not smart enough to debate you point to point on this, but I have the feeling.
At least Letterman admits he's an idiot....
