Within the last hour -- not -- -- this exchange with Matt -- the host The Today Show the topic was Whitney Houston much.
Do I have seen.
Dozens of stories.
Over the years that there was -- -- realise he was hailing the addiction the erratic behavior so denial of addiction on the part of Whitney Houston I think on the one hand the media dig -- -- her troubles and didn't.
I didn't loyalty to the same time I would -- that they also celebrated.
Her talent and her stardom by covering her behavior and -- -- her actions over the years.
In a way that is shining a very bright light on it.
Well you didn't have eaten you just had hit a muted -- Minnesota -- -- going to.
I have all right applause he just flies.
Out they like to argue over there it's good I mean I'd like to one and -- we shake it -- a little bit.
Look the Whitney Houston thing.
Is -- a cautionary tale for everybody everybody knows that.
Yes we should respect the woman I said a prayer when I heard that she was dead.
Chris could see the governor new Jersey's lowering of flags when she's -- Buried this weekend and that it's appropriate.
But this is ridiculous.
Whitney Houston killed herself.
We all understand that you don't use hard drugs for decades.
And decades.
You don't spend a hundred million dollars on them.
Not wanting to kill yourself.
So why aren't we knowing the truth to young people in America is there one public service announcement.
Like any movie star by any saying.
That says the children.
Don't use drugs when she was -- -- Weis is there one I wanna see one.
There isn't any here as we see Snoop Dogg right -- -- -- All of these creeps and I mean they are creeps.
All right celebrated.
And -- wink -- all let's party let's get high.
There's nobody in the media saying you know -- This could lead to death and if it doesn't -- -- 75%.
Of all child abuse and neglect is done white substance abusers.
Let's tell the truth and not only exact.
When you bought this garbage who -- you help me the Mexican cartels.
-- killed 40000.
Human beings.
Every time you buy -- marijuana cigarette.
Like Austin and.
Are we get and that's where is it in the media who say in this no body and that was my point.
Well -- you pay I don't they are not character guys -- agreed to a 100%.
What about the timing of it is it time to make a public service and now Aaron Presley had some time because everybody's locked.
-- on.
A -- -- person.
Famous.
A talented -- Because of drugs.
Elvis.
Janis Joplin Marilyn Monroe.
Goes just down the line.
Drugs after drugs after drugs so this is what you have to do it.
Because you have their attention you absolutely you and you had -- -- attention we've got another clip let's see what's in this here's Matt Lauer asking whether journalists should be doing interventions watched us.
Are journalists supposed to be in the position of conducting interventions.
There's supposed to be in the business of telling the truth and the truth is if you needed to hard drugs you can go any time at.
The problem a lot of these people though desert surrounded by.
Sick offensive lackeys and people that are just yes men who don't want it but that is being very honest with them and say.
Look you got a problem -- need to go so -- Whitney Houston -- might.
Contention is.
Was self destructive in gonna kill herself no matter what you don't think she wanted to kill her she is psychological.
It it subliminal it's not like she gets up every day and says I wanna -- -- -- gets up every days as I wanna get high.
All right -- you've got to -- equate the two.
So yes she surrounds herself with people who are gonna take her money and tell -- audits okay gore had -- a little crack.
But whose fault is that that's Whitney Houston's -- We -- in the media here this is I will allow our and I were talking about the media not Whitney Houston and -- dual -- entourage are right.
And the media supposed to be in the business of telling the truth and America get.
Does that.
It doesn't tell the truth anymore because to make these for announcements is on making -- -- judgment or how dare you tell me what I can do with my body.
How dare you tell me I can't smoke marijuana cigarette.
All there all day long.
That's bad for you it's bad for children it's destroying.
Families it's destroying people.
So I'll tell it to you and if you don't like it.
That's too bad I mean it's my job to do -- -- is never taken a drink in your life.
That and I found out too because by far my grandfather died as a roses -- the -- -- Mike 'cause indicted 42 about the -- isn't so I -- you know there's a predisposition in the O Reilly family and I'm not gonna do that -- choice now.
I'm not telling you not to drink you wanna -- -- want to beard go ahead.
You want -- legal drugs that's a whole different story this medical marijuana -- is this is a wounds.
Are right.

Give me all the -- I can smoke everybody knows what pieces -- right and what it what do the kids saying.
They see their parents -- Iraq.
Andy's -- -- hero or their that a pop star doing the same thing anything in particular topic but let's move on to this one Maxine Waters who had a history of saying some pretty up outrageous things.
The sides she's got more to say take a listen.
We have got to take back the house.
I'm -- -- a banner day and can't get on our screens don't ever let me say hi again analyze.
Republicans and and all look -- I -- Not about anything.
Big -- they lands and.
And yet glad everybody is get along and show our olympians demons what -- -- halls -- on our screens our school what does that mean a Democrat -- what is it that a Democrat conference.
Okay so it a Democrat conference they showed Boehner and some Republicans and she objected to that.
And that's all I'm basically did you basically objecting to the two party system -- it sounds like to me.
So she wants to be Havana I -- I think it right if they don't -- in -- she wants to go beyond Havana she wants to be a socialist Marxist country she at one point she's -- -- -- -- -- -- sound like we do they get a best of legacy of this -- and listen to that that the socialism and some of these kind.
