Michael Moore TKO’s Bill O’Reilly last night
O’REILLY: But I also know that they have us in a vise in the capitalistic system, because they provide jobs. They provide retirement benefits. They provide health benefits. And anything that we do to them, Michael, is going to be passed back on to the consumer in terms of higher costs.
