Fox News primetime personality Bill O'Reilly, in a surprising vote of confidence, commended the President Barack Obama's My Brother's Keeper initiative but gave some suggestions for the president and his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett during the O'Reilly Factor broadcast Thursday night.

President Obama launched the new initiative Thursday afternoon, which is a private-public partnership that aims at getting linking young men of color in the U.S. with mentor programs to help them gain skills and qualities to become successful in the future.

O'Reilly spoke with Jarrett in Washington, D.C., as the host attended and reported on the initiative launch from the capitol, where he advised her that if My Brother's Keeper is to prove successful, the president should instruct "gangsta rappers" such as Jay-Z and Kanye West to stop promoting drug use and the rap-rock lifestyle.

"You have to attack the fundamental disease if you want to cure it," O'Reilly said. "You're gonna have to get people like Jay-Z, Kanye West, all these gangsta rappers to knock it off."

The Fox News host, didn't just stop there, however, as he also encouraged Jarrett to tell athletes and tattooed individuals who are in the national spotlight to stop their destructive behaviors that are make large impression on the nation's youth.

They "idolize these guys with the hats on backwards, and the terrible rock-rap lyrics and the drugs." O"Reilly said.

Jarrett responded that the programs the initiative will provide are going inspire the at-risk youth to become upstanding citizens, but O'Reilly accused her of blowing off his suggestion.

Prior to the interview, O'Reilly listed off five suggestions during his Talking Points segment of the show that, what he feels, are important for the outreach program.

The suggestions included teaching children how to read, providing those children with mentors, warning them about the concerns of early pregnancy, giving them job opportunities to work during the summer months and convincing at-risk children that law enforcement agencies are not he enemy.

My Brother's Keeper has gained the dedication of numerous foundations to pledge more than $200 million over the next five years.
