-- concessional law well.
On -- yes distributable O'Reilly you don't comb through -- segment.
While we all -- do yes it was like and that now we famously do a segment until it's called -- and a hard place that.
So I guess Allen is the Barack part and on the hard place part so I'm watching you know good -- and yes analyzed the rest of American -- us.
Panel Reilly lost his temper.
And was alone -- losses jumper.
Was largely -- comfortable television can launch.
And he's screaming at Allen calls Colin Powell on -- And -- all.
Tried to fight back but ultimately -- -- to.
And to attended a conversation internal amended or so later built and her senses and apologized.

And now my question of want.
And now you -- -- Won't -- I'm car has denied it was like -- this CBS that she -- explosion of anger and frustration so you're setting IR IE yeah zero dollars.
Looked horrified.
Well I I didn't quite see it coming and so when something like that happens you know for me I knew it wasn't directed at me is directed to Alan.
And my emotional intelligence kicked in and I thought it best to sort of sit back.
And and allowed them -- to have that each other and then -- to be called on.
By -- Riley and I and it and I think that was the best way to -- although I do think I need to get a T shirt that says I survived the O'Reilly Factor march 5 2013.
All the oil was this lousy T shirt.
When you -- think dozens of music I don't.
-- You'll law but it wasn't your -- explanation.
To her defend.
-- brother and law well let me let me make it clear I think Alan was completely wrong on the substance of what he was singing -- -- -- and and he's a grown man he can certainly defendants which she tried to do I thought Alan handled -- great I thought his tone has great equity push back.
Two O Reilly and said look you can disagree with the substance of what I'm saying.
But don't go with a personal attacks and that was a totally legitimate point which O Reilly token apologized.
-- -- to him for.
All let's hear all of them you know ultimately I've been an opposition where Riley has just -- fire acne.
And end you know Alan let's -- twist in the wind this outlook were all adults Allstate we debate for a living citizens can't take that you shouldn't be in this business -- payback.
They've reviewed my aunt and my brother and other -- totally wrong well what about pretty much everything here's the thing I've known in my work for the along the NBC back and -- day.
And he's been wrong forever forever and we know -- -- might.
But ought to be that disrespect to meet there on number of people -- -- -- would not talked to liked that while the -- -- the -- Well I I do you think O Reilly on has explained himself and you can automatically -- out or not he said he was it incredibly frustrated by the fact that Alan couldn't give him some specifics said the question was.
What specifically has the president laid out insurance expenditures overturn federal bullet wanna yeah well that's that's O -- style he didn't feel about their apologized Allen.
-- -- people -- -- and -- I know it's not terrible.
But people say there are afraid to say anything about Ryland.
And has only because they think are gonna get fired.
First saw don't go for a long time.
Under him before his O'Reilly right but he may they have told -- blossoms it's not gonna get anybody -- What you've often said you're the only person in this building who actually likes -- right.
You're not.
Because I actually like -- -- and I understood him and I get him.
And I think on Tuesday night what he was doing what he was expressing and maybe it didn't coming out in the most effective way or maybe it can act also over the on -- But and and this is not to excuse terminal wasn't on -- that Alan I just.
No not really doesn't excuse it but I will say I don't think he was giving voice to -- -- a lot of frustration that a lot of Americans feel that you can't get a straight answer out of this president.
-- hours -- higher -- -- plummeted during that somebody.
-- -- you you recognized.
That they do it to somebody.
Where -- expected to him dubbed by original editor now are realized orally is none other.
He's just arguments with other people like Barney Frank -- friend -- -- -- -- And national home buyers -- ago.

And I'm a lot of -- -- television host an and a good friend -- -- -- regular line and that's a good friend that does all kinds of good thing from triple but that was a horrible.
Well and it's on tape odd enough but denial of -- not to take.
Robert F bomb on him sentinel structures.
Unit to cool that it could come down of course someone but.
To call -- Yeah I think bill needs to direct desire at the president.
Who's a very adept liar some rather than scream and -- direct your your attention to the president of the United States who cannot give the American people straight answer on anything from big -- To the budget to you name.
Bill so desperately wants to be respected by all the people -- hate so to like ghosts of the Vanity Fair part of his voice.
And developed a Laker game I mean -- shares.
Medical that a vigorous -- I don't know.
-- and run like into -- -- and also your show.
