Here is as much of a transcript as I want to type. Here they were talking about financial aid to Afghanistan. O is O'Rielly and W is Wellstone:
O: All right well look, I don’t think anyone wants to see people starve. But I believe we have to be fair to the American people here as well as the Afghanis. There are about 26 Million Afghani people, there are about 4 thousand Taliban hard liners who have, uh, brutalized women, who have, uh maimed people, who have fostered terrorism and terrible terrible things. Don’t the Afghan people have any responsibility for that?
W: It’s uh, it’s been an oppressive government that is not at all hesitated to uh, torture and murder its citizens, and uh, I don’t think you can say that uh, innocent children have anything to do with that.
O: You got 26 Million against four thousand, you see what I mean?
W: I see what you mean, but you know, quite frankly when people are desperately poor, they don’t have any of the weapons, they have been terrorized, there’s been torture, quite often it’s hard for people to rise up. There are lots of people that live under these kinds of horrible regimes, and, you know, it’s easier said then done. And in any case, as much as I appreciate your point, it may be beside the point. I think it’s in our national interest to get this humanitarian aid to the people there.
