Bill O'Reilly is saying: "But isn't it true, Kirstin, that Obama Care has killed ten-thousands of jobs? . . . That's undeniable, isn't it?"
Kirsten Powers is saying: "Actually Bill, even conservative sources have concluded that Obama Care has dramatically increased jobs. . . . In studies by the American Enterprise Institute, in fact-- . . ."
Bill O'Reilly butts in, saying: "Aw, don't give me that crap! . . . There are studies, and then there are studies!!!"
Bill O'Reilly is saying: "You can't really believe that I'd let you get away citing a single poll, can you? . . . Don't be another pinheaded, okay?"
Kirsten Powers is saying: "I'm quoting the consensus of studies, if you would like to tell me which studies you're referring to-- . . ."
Bill O'Reilly is saying: "Don't be stupid, Kirsten, I don't have to cite studies. . . . I've looked into this thoroughly and know what I'm talking about. . . . As always."
Kirsten Powers is looking upward as though praying a prayer of dark purpose.

(19,359 posts)At question in the discussion was whether AP's fact checking of Cruz's statement concerning Obama Care being the leading job killer was fair or not. After losing the debate to Powers, O'Reilly simply said that it was (simply) a debate and people sling a lot of stuff around.
Gone was the question of AP's fat checking.
Gone was the question of Obama Care's effect on jobs.
Now all he can say is that people can be expected to lie in a debate which is meant to help the people chose the next President of the United States. (I mean, who cares after all?)
I couldn't get all the complexities in the captions and had to drop the Cruz angle and lost, as a result, the real punchline, which was O'Reilly's own. There are many matters that are far beyond the skill of a poor CAPTIONer.
