i am bill o reilly riley. thank you for watching the factor this evening. great moments from the last year. we start tonight with a memorable barack and a hard place segment. as you have said on the broadcast you want more federal spending. according to moody s an letic it brought in 2.10 for every dollar spent on the stimulus. moody said it work, bush s office said it worked. to say obama doesn t want to cut spending he had a $4 trillion bargain he is ready to enact. john boehner said no. it isn t fair that say he wants to cut spending. if the huge stimulus worked why did unemployment go up? the stimulus wasn t just about employment fwfz xeeping the state solvent. you can do a number of things like an infrastructure bank. i am not understanding. you are much smarter than i am. you said spending worked unemployment went up. and the federal debt rose to record levels. unemployment stayed pretty steady. about 9.1 percent. roughly the same. statistically the same
continuing with the personal story segment tonight. out of control celebrity behavior. in my new book america s cultural decline from muffin tops to body shots. i point out the hilarious and decay.ing signs of our edee not everyone sees us this way. certainly allan colmes. great to see you in person. the talons are retracted. i like the title of this book. all i can say is i wore the period costume just because i knew that would be the only way that you would pay attention. victorrian. you think american culture is just fine, thank you, ma am.

bachman, colmes thinks the culture is so hunky dorie and you see chris brown given the big platform on nbc today. the culture in decline. did allan truly listen to lyrics 30 years ago? things that could never be put on to tape and given to any one is now common place. it is not the same. things that were innuendo. morris, come on, babe. light my fire. where are the feminists? it is degrading and demeaning to all people to be treating women and objects and things and toys that are disposable and expendable. an insult to every woman. a lot of the entertainers might be talented underneath it all but they are debasing
the rap lyrics. if you said this you would lose your job today. this is the rap culture. is that a good culture? do you think we should smoke on television. i think the rap culture gives vent and voice in ways that are healthy. chris brown a healthy in flewence on the culture? you will not agree with this. a form of art that i agree is healthy otherwise any would not have that outlet. you don t want to hear these words do you because i don t believe alan colmes actually thinks this is art. i don t believe it. i don t believe you think it is art. larentlaura, you can extracm my musical genre bad lyrics. a long way from style magazine. you would beup set about don t speak arabic to me. great to see you again.
