1:00 am
monday. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> tell me how many agents investigators you have assigned to the case? >> i may be have to do that but i have to get back to you. >> you can tell me hot the lead investigator is? >> off the top of my head, no. >> the fbi still not investigating the irs controversy aggressively. that's the charge from a conservative watchdog group. but is it true? we'll tell you what we know. >> talk about terrorists, then don't just talk about people with brown skin. >> bill: under heavy pressurey the far left the fbi removes some anti-terror ads designed to protect americans. we'll tell you bawl that. >> you don't have to wait until you are almost dead before you can defend? >> no. i was advised you don't do that caution, you are about
1:01 am
to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. bill o'reilly, thanks for watching us tonight. the fbi and the irs. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. a conservative group called the american center for law and justice says that the federal bureau of investigation has not even contacted, has not even contacted any of the 41 groups involved in the class action suit against the irs. as you may know, the federal tax agency admits it targeted some conservative organizations and individuals, delaying tax exempt status and auditing some people because of their political beliefs. that's a huge scandal, if true. and it is the fbi's job to see if anything criminal
1:02 am
was going on. but two weeks ago, director robert mueller stunned the nation when he testified in front of the house committee. >> you can tell me some basics? can you tell me how many agents investigators you have assigned to the case? >> may be able to do that but i have to get back to you. >> you can tell me hot lead investigator? >> bill: flat out embarrassing. after hearing mr. mueller say that i said. this mueller doesn't know? are you kidding me? surely he knew he would be asked about the irs investigation in front of the judiciary committee. surely he knew that. if mueller doesn't know specifics about the irs investigation, it's because he doesn't want to know well, today there are charges my analysis is correct that the fbi is either dragging its collective feet or stonewalling the irs investigation. between 2010 and 2012, at least five different irs
1:03 am
offices improperly handled requests from conservative operations for tax exempt status. also, the former director of the irs douglass shulman was signed into the white house 157 times. far more than any other federal official. why was shulman there? it is the fbi's job to find out. but apparently the bureau considered by some to be the finest investigative agency in the world not up and running yet on the biggest federal case in some time. does that make any sense to anyone? the answer is no. makes no sense at all. there is deep suspicion that the man who overseas the fbi attorney general eric holder is not invested in getting information about the irs abuses. so this continues to be one big mess and an acute embarrassment to this country. and that's the memo. now for the top story tonight as mentioned. the american center for law and justice is alleging
1:04 am
that the fbi is not aggressively investigating the irs. joining us now from washington jordan self-low, the executive director of that group. maybe the executive director is investigating and you don't know about it? >> right. we have a situation here where the attorney general was the first top administration official, bill, four days after lois lerner made that planted question which was planned with at least the deputy chief of staff at the white house and irs commissioner at the time miller mueller, four days later it's the attorney general holder saying we are going to do the full criminal investigation with the doj and fbi. here we go president obama the next day makes his comments condemning the targeting of groups because of their political viewpoint. a month later, june 13th and then again june 19th, we're barely getting any information at all u.s. senators and members of congress who were questioning director mueller but we have been asked repeatedly and we keep confirming with all 41 of our clients who have filed a federal lawsuit if they have gotten any contact at all from the
1:05 am
fbi. that would be -- all the fbi knows we filed lawsuit. the list of groups is there their contact information. where to find them. who they're. and not one of them over a month now we're looking at six weeks has been contacted by the fbi for this investigation. >> all right. it's damning circumstantial evidence to be sure. but, there might be an explanation. of course, the fbi is not going to tell us what it is because they can't comment on active -- whatever the mumbo jumbo is they are throwing out. >> sure. >> bill: i will submit to you that it looks terrible. that mueller's performance was embarrassing. that if you look at the record in its totality, the attorney general doesn't seem to have any desire to find out anything about this at all. because it will reflect poorly or could reflect poorly back on his boss barack obama. the big question question is did the irs coordinate
1:06 am
this. with the white house, why was this guy in there 157 times. and the fbi has the power to find that out. so it looks bad. is there anything else you would like to add to that? >> not only looks bad. >> you had not just republicans and conservatives, but democrats as well condemning him. he is the president, the attorney general, and then everybody found out, guess what? they're always going to say that. >> lois lerner lied when she gave her first statement. that's why she is not talking. what i'm wondering, bill, if they are not getting any cooperation because everybody at the irs and maybe some the white house officials i'm not going to testify if you want to prosecute me, try. and didn't realize how far it went. >> bill: the fbi is not going to tell you jordan seq. could you -- sekulow.
1:07 am
>> certainly your clients aren't going to take the fifth. remember, in libya it was the same dance. the president said we are going to find out what happened. the fbi was going to be sent in and so farther fbi has found out bump cuss as far as we know. took them 40 days to even get in there because it was dangerous. maybe it's dangerous to go into the irs offices. i don't know. maybe it's dangerous to interview their clients. >> probably dangerous politically for them. what we thought at the end of the day as our lawsuit progresses and you see lois lerner trying to get this immunity which wouldn't effect the civil lawsuit, this idea that all these folks who planted this question and had had all this time to do so lied that day and thought that the groups who are represented by groups, you know, legal organizations like us didn't have their letters from lois lerner that year that you couldn't say that it was just done in 2011 and we got it handled. and it was just cincinnati people. that alone is a reason why it go hire a defense lawyer like dominic strauss-khan's lawyer and take the fifth.
1:08 am
>> there is no doubt that bad things happened and the fbi's charge is to find out whether they were criminal or not. i have got 60 seconds left. this lawsuit that you are filing, this class action lawsuit is going to take years. it's going to take a long time, correct? >> well, it's interesting. we are already seeing the irs trying to do a couple things. the new acting commissionerrerrer werfel. we represent all the c 4's and c 1. we are analyzing it now. they dual that soon it doesn't affect the lawsuit. there is also discussion from the tax advocate which is executive branch inside the white house show is kind of like a watchdog saying that maybe they should get 1,000 bucks each all these groups because they waited so long and paid application fees. that has not -- so the irs is going to try, we think, to get this stopped before they could be opened to
1:09 am
discovery. >> they want to settle it with you guys. >> broadest discovery of the irs in history. >> you are not going to settle it. >> first of all, the fast track wouldn't change our lawsuit for the most part. >> look, your organization wants, i think, clarity. why it happened. who did it. >> absolutely. >> how far it went up, how many people were involved and who was responsible. >> bill: i would like to you tell me personally if the irs does contact any of your crew so we can continue to update this story. >> i will. >> bill: latest on the explosive zimmerman murder trial. latest on the fbi caving into pressure from the far left on terrorism. >> fascinating story. upcoming.
1:13 am
i don't see anyway how in good conscience the district attorney's office could bring charges for second degree murder, saying that this was essentially an implied malice, showing depraved indifference to human life. that he was so grossly negligent he was just looking for someone essentially to shoot that night and that he should be held for life in prison. it doesn't rise to that standard. >> bill: what's the political motive though? >> because of all the press. al sharpton, the rest of them out there, just essentially calling for the head of george zimmerman this man, i believe, and i believe the judge is acting in that way as well. judge nelson. one ruling after the next in favor of the prosecution they don't want the finger pointed at them when they're exonerated. >> bill: how convinced are you that zimmerman will be acquitted by six person jury. >> based on the law and what's comes in as the facts and evidence he should be. i believe if they follow the law they will acquit him. >> bill: how convinced are you that will happen. >> i'm convinced. >> support your theory for
1:14 am
main. >> thank you. >> 44 days for the prosecution to bring this charge after everything that happened. they were not going to charge in the beginning. when you see the detectives on this stand this week and last. they are not that supportive of the prosecution, why? >> bill: you believe as guilfoyle does that political pressured from left and the civil rights community. >> political pressure from wherever. cause the come to trial under these charges. >> it's now a second degree murder charge. the prosecution should never have charged second degree. if they charge as they have they should have included lesser included. meaning negligent manslaughter assault. they can still do it though. >> bill: if they do it we'll report. >> the witnesses so far have supported the defense. what are they saying that the man has injuries consistent with the broken nose in the back of the head. don't want to try this on television. that's what they do on the other programs other networks. >> they don't do it well.
1:15 am
they bring in college people he took some college classes. prove is he linchts zimmerman said he didn't have any knowledge of the self-defense law. >> bill: that's the only reason is he on the stand to prove is he a liar. >> that doesn't make you a murderer. >> prove his word at the time. >> that's why they are there, these college people? >> yes. >> okay, now, the mother of trayvon martin, why would she testify? she doesn't know anything about what happened that night. why would she be there? >> for one reason, to try and give some kind of sympathetic employee to tug at the hearts of the girls. >> bill: prosecution is trying to call trayvon martin to manipulate the jury into feeling so badly for the mom and the dad that they are going to convict the guy.
1:16 am
>> membership is the wrong word. the prosecution, no, no. they are going to put her on the stand to say exactly that but that's not manipulation. >> bill: what is it if it's not manipulation. >> wild tactics. >> bill: wait, wait. wiehl, wiehl. >> you call manipulation. i call it wild tactics. >> bill: wild tactics? what does that mean. >> wild tactic its. you put 'the mother of the victim on the stand. >> bill: to membership the jury's emotional makeup. >> emotional manipulation. >> bill: this is -- is it a manipulation? >> obviously. it's overt. >> bill: thank you. >> overt emotional manipulation because they need help in this case. >> bill: only reason, shouldn't the judge say. >> they will say identify the voice. >> bill: identify what voice? >> trayvonens voice on the 911 call. >> so they're not going to use the voice experts. they are going to use the mom. >> the voice expert testified he couldn't figure out who it was maybe a family member could. >> maybe? >> that's something. >> no, no, no.
1:17 am
it's not good. >> bill: if i'm the judge, i'm going why -- so you believe it's all about voice identification? >> well, that's how they are going to get away with calling it but the judge should shut it down. other thing they have witnesses testifying that he got an a in criminal justice that he wanted to be a cop and rejected from being a cop because he had bad credit. that has nothing to do with whether or not the law of self-defense is available to whom and the prosecution has the burden now here i disagree with you. if i'm the judge and i allow that because it goes to credibility. of the accused because that's what it is all about. it's about he said, she said, what kind of credibility. i would allow it. >> wait, let me tell you something. so what if you wanted to robo cop. >> trying to convict. it just goes to credibility. that's all. >> but you -- >> i would allow travon martin's background to be brought in as well. >> that's wrong. exactly. when the mother of trayvon martin can come up and testify that his background, that opens that door for us. >> the defense attorney can go in and say hey, what
1:18 am
about this? what about that? >> guess what? this is a number of things that i believe are going to be potentially reversible error if will is a conviction here. that's the judge's responsibility. that falls in her lap. prosecution. there you go. >> can't be appealed if there is acquittal. >> bill: ladies, thank you. i want to reiterate that awful fox news analysts at this juncture believe the defense is ahead on points. directly ahead when we last left kirsten powers i challenged her very gently come up with. >> anna: at this terror plan since she opposes much of what is in place right now. ms. powers son the spot. can't wait to hear what she has to say. then, this baby is an internet super star. but did her parents do something wrong by having her swim alone in a pool? those reports after these
1:22 am
>> bill: impact segment tonight. fighting terrorism on the left. a couple of weeks ago fox news analyst kirsten powers and i debated national security and how to combat worldwide terrorists. ms. powers opposes drone warfare, guantanamo bay and a variety of other anti-terror measures so i said. this. >> when i get back, i want you to give me the kirsten powers national security strategy. >> okay. all right. >> everybody ready? i think we would be very anxious to hear that. >> with me now to unveil her plan to protect all of us, kirsten powers in washington. >> hi, bill. >> bill: let's start with your top antiterrorist strategy. the biggest one you have. it would be? >> you might be surprised to leisure that i actually do support the surveillance that is done as long as it's done in a way where there is some oversight. think it's an important anti-terror tool with the
1:23 am
snowden leaks i don't think we are having appropriate oversight and i don't like them store the data. that is probably the most important tool that we have. >> bill: specifically though, would you allow the nsa and cia to read emails from american citizens? >> with a warrant i would. >> with an individual warrant. not a general warrant or an parts get a warrant her emails to cairo or whatever. we have to read those. >> yeah. >> but that's not going to stop jihadist that's going to give intel in here. >> that's not what the administration you don't want to kill them, do you. >> if it was going to protect from us terrorism, then you would have to obviously consider that as a tool. >> bill: but you are talking a hypothetical and i want the powers program. i believe you have to kill the jihadists, okay? and you don't believe t>> and d be killing them with
1:24 am
drones. >> bill: absolutely. fewer people die with drones than to send the american military in to kill them. >> fewer americans die, that's correct. >> bill: no, fewer civilians die. if you are going to raid a village in northern pakistan with special forces, many more people are going to die than if you drop a drone on a house. >> but the point is we are not gonna be sending special forces in there and it sets too low of a war for the united states to be going in and killing people and too many civilians have killed and it creates more terrorists. >> bill: killing jihadist leaders? >> no. listen. we are creating more terrorists. you have to look at the big picture, bill. >> bill: it's theoretical i don't believe that for eakd is. >> do you believe stanley mcchrystal he said that. >> stanley mcchrystal believes that that's his opinion. >> i'm sorry, you are dismissing opinion on drone warfare. >> bill: jihadists are going to paint us as the
1:25 am
devil no matter what we do. >> let's just do anything? that's a great argument. >> but drone attacks that kill the leadership of the al qaeda and the taliban are permissible. let's move ahead. >> create even more people and terrorists. >> opinion i believe it's a fallacious opinion. >> you are wrong. >> bill: coerce interrogation you grab them rough them up a little you don't want to do that do you. >> you can interrogate them not torture them. >> not make them uncomfortable though. >> no. that's not right. i think you can make them uncomfortable. you cantor temperature them. you can't. >> bill: uncomfortable but you cantor temperature them and then that's the definition of what tore temperature is. guantanamo bay, you don't want that. >> no. >> bill: where do you want to put these guys? >> we can put them in federal prison. >> bill: federal prisons? >> we have plenty of very dangerous bad people in prisons. first of all, i would like them to have a try. i believe in trials. i think that people have a right to due process. i don't like the idea of
1:26 am
people not -- >> -- here is the problem with the trial. because you are living in a theoretical world. in a trial you have to produce witnesses. all right? as soon as a witness comes in and says hey, you know what? mohammed over there blew up 16 children and he saw him give the order, that witness is dead. boom! , dead. killed. you are not going to have witnesses and people come in. >> so we don't try mob leaders? >> bill: it's a little bit different than mob leaders and al qaeda. that's a different thing. >> no, it's not. you are arguing that people would be afraid to testify or they are going tonight up dead. >> bill: afraid to evidence it? >> that's the same thing with a mob and drug dealers. >> bill: difference between a war and a criminal activity. >> i understand that. but the comparison you are making though would apply in that situation. you don't not give people trials because of the situation you just said. i'm sorry, bill. you don't hold people, bill, forever. that's what we're doing. >> bill: they're prisoners of war. >> they have not been given any kind of due process or
1:27 am
a trial. >> bill: you don't give prisoners of war due process. >> they are not. -- you know what? if it was someone in your family. >> bill: it wouldn't be anybody in my family. >> right, okay, because why? >> because they are not jihadists. >> so, you know. >> bill: yeah. >> there is no chance anyone in your family could ever end up in a situation. >> bill: correct. i don't know stephens and my kids don't listen to him. >> the point is you should be able to theoretically consider. >> theoretically. >> yeah. >> bill: i love you you know you are a great guest. your anti-terror program, awful. kirsten powers, everybody. >> plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. dennis miller on the fbi removing anti-terror poster because the pressure from the far left. also, miller talking about jennifer lopez singing happy birthday to a tyrant. later, baby swimming dominating the internet. why different strokes for
1:30 am
>> bill: unresolved problem segment tonight, egypt. millions of protesters taking to the streets of cairo and other major cities demanding the muslim brotherhood be ousted from power. with unemployment topping 20% among young egyptians and muslim fundamentalists causing trouble all over that country, egypt is a mess now the military is becoming involved. joining us now from washington fox news correspondent jennifer griffin. egypt people -- why do we care about egypt. it's over there. been chaotic forever. and why -- why should the u.s.a. care first of all? >> well, first of all, they should care, bill, because this is the heart of the arab world. this is where the arab spring essentially started two years ago. and what you're seeing take
1:31 am
place is the next chapter in this wave of resolution that has swept through the middle east. it matters. it's the only arab country to have made peace with israel in 1979. that's why the u.s. gives it $1.3 billion. it matters a lot. >> bill: they want to keep egypt stable and on our side so that the whole area doesn't go up in chaos. but, as i told president obama, and i don't know whether you remember this in my super bowl interview, the muslim brotherhood i told him flat out i wasn't going to work with those people because they don't know how to govern a country. they are only in it to cause trouble and make anybody muslim. that's all they care about. no tourists are going to go there and the whole place is a shambles. what is the u.s. reaction now? president obama hasn't said anything behind the scenes what are they doing? >> well, they have been absolutely stunned by the development and they have been so careful not to say anything to look like
1:32 am
they're taking any sides. at the same time, they are working the phones behind the scenes. you have got the military commanders here and the pentagon the chairman of the joint chiefs general martin dempsey, chuck hagel the defense secretary making calls to the military saying on the one hand, not wanting to take sides. on the one hand they are happy that morsi is probably going to be pushed out by the military. but they don't want the military to take over because if a coupe takes place, that $1.3 billion in aid each year will be in jeopardy. there are certain laws in the u.s. that aid has to be frozen if a military coupe takes place. so what they really want is for the military to remove the muslim brotherhood, remove morsi, which has been a problem from the get-go for this administration since they were elected. and, but not to hold on to power. that's why you see the -- that's why you see the military meeting with mohammed baradei. >> i understand that the egyptian military is friendly to the u.s.a. because most of this money
1:33 am
we send to it egypt the 1.3 billion goes to them, correct? >> that's right. in fact, they get the n 1 abrams tanks. they got f-16 fighter jets. the president came under a lot of heat last year and the secretary of state hillary clinton for authorizing that $1.3 billion to continue after the muslim brotherhood took over. but what it has given the pentagon is -- given them an ability to pick up the phone and talk to their egyptian counterparts. how they are going to use that ability is still an open question. >> bill: you said something that's disturbing, jennifer. you said that the obama administration was caught by surprise. our cia should have predicted this months ago. i mean, because that country has been so chaotic and unstable, caught by surprise when you have got people under the age of 30 can't get a job? no tourism in there? what did they think was going to happen? >> well, i think that they have been worried about what's going to happen in egypt. they didn't know which way it was going to go. just look at u.s. ambassador ann patterson. the anti-morsi protesters
1:34 am
have been burning her in evidence gee because she has been spending so much time meeting with the muslim brotherhood, meeting with morsi. even two weeks ago, going out and issuing a statement in a speech saying that protesters shouldn't take to the streets. there was still, it seemed like this administration and ambassador patterson wanted stability more than they wanted the right thing to occur. they can't seem to decide. >> bill: if the president is looked at by the egyptian people as propping up morsi, that's going to be a disaster. he has got to throw him right under the bus and got to do it fast. because those -- he is not going to last. morsi is out. it's a matter of when, not if. jennifer, thank you we appreciate it. thank jennifer in front of the nation for helping with this track chair business. i want to tell you more about that at the end of the program. jennifer griffin has really brought it to my attention and been a big hero in this. when we come right back, miller on the fbi caving to far left pressure and jennifer lopez taking money from a human rights
1:37 am
. >> thanks for staying with us. i'm bill o'reilly in the miller time segment tonight. fascinating story out of seattle. the fbi paid for some advertisements urging folks to be alert for possible terrorist activities. and promising rewards for solid information the ads featured convicted terrorists full face. but the far left objected look at the pictures they are all colored folk. terrorists come in all shapes and sizes. if you are going to talk about terrorists don't just talk about people with brown skin. >> the fbi caved and removed the ads because of the pressure. joining us now from santa barbara the sage of southern california dennis miller and you say? i say mcdermott is one of
1:38 am
the biggest morons i have seen in the public eye. he tightens the bowl low tie up to hold the two grams of brain power he has in that thick skull. they blow up buses we whine about putting putting plus blower upper photos on the side of our buskers. if you don't back off it, idiots like mcdermott will throw you under the bus. that's where we are at right now. we have done away with wanted posters for god sake. who would have thought john wayne and randolph scott all that time when i was kid i was playing profilers indigenous native american people i thought i was playing cowboys and indians. a photo is now considered racist. we have subject find the empirical. it's sad to watch us turn into this. all i can is ask we go after radical jihadists with the same degree and vigor we go after annoying food network hosts? how is that for a start?
1:39 am
>> bill: according to mcdermott mr. there is a quota. >> how do you start a sentence with that mcdermott is a mental chew toy. i can't even listen to him. according to mcdermott. mcdermott is barely able to wind his watch and keep his elementary track clogged. >> what about the fbi caving in though, miller? >> listen, billy, i'm just a little sad. the fact that jim mcdermott is on tv, of course the fbi is going to close in or they are going to cave in because they though if they don't there will be a picture of j. edgar hoover on the side of the bus in a mini skirt. >> bill: if you were running the fbi or if i were running the fbi we wouldn't cave in, miller. we would not only keep the poster on the bus we would make it bigger and put it on both sides of the bugs. >> if i were in charge of the fbi i would have a colonoscopy der not done
1:40 am
each day. >> bill: right now a small florida town 35 miles north of gainsville. >> i don't know what that means. >> bill: i don't either. stark, florida. [ laughter ] i'm going to surveil it. in florida they put a monument to atheists. show that monument. >> where is it, billy? >> it's a bench let me see it a 150-pound gray granite bench. this is the monument to the atheists that looks as thick as jim mcdermott. listen, at least when a pigeon craps on this thing they can't whine about the pig being god's worst creation. they want to put a stick in christian's peoples eyes here. that's fine that's what they do. here is the thing about secularists, billy. secularists always mock creationists as being naive because they believe in a god in heaven. until later in life when
1:41 am
creationists bring up like the darwinian law of survival of the fittist and then the secularist mock the creationists begin on the back end and said you should be more christ like. they believe god of the universe. on the back end if they cite darwin they say you are naive again. let them build the bench. the unemployed guy laying on that wench under a newspaper five hours a day will be a secular. >> bill: you know this jennifer lopez. you are a big fan of hers. >> talented girl. >> you have all her didisco records. she goes to turk ministan i believe you vacation there as well. >> it's my are you kidding me stan. >> bill: or i'm confused stan. that's one of my favorite places. >> china national petroleum corporation hires jennifer
1:42 am
lopez for 1.4 million, about what you and i get for the bolder fresher tour. she goes to turk minute stan and gives a performance for people hire her and in the performance she sings happy birthday gore bon goalie. the dictator of tirk minute cities stan. >> who did she sing to again? >> >> who is on first? >> no, but who -- who is on second? >> i don't know. i don't know who is on third. so i think that lopez earned her money just for saying the guy's name and we should leave her alone. yeah. well, listen, it's an easy one for her. 1.4. she knows that she is doing
1:43 am
something a little naughty. she goes over, you sing the song, and then you do the proforma apology and out with 1.4. for god's sake do you it in a second. once again i love it when people on the left or people in hollywood always act like they are super astute about political affairs whenever they are in a reflective or echo chamber they always act like they know about it and then later you say did you know the head guy is is a crazy pig and you go i had no idea i thoughts that where they made turkey beef. >> she really didn't. run the tape on jennifer. >> wish happy birthday ♪ happy birthday tote you happy birthday, mr. president. >> bill: i think she thought she was at madison square garden. >> listen, billy, it is so unstable there is a 50/50
1:44 am
shot by the time they finish the song you're dead. >> bill: i believe jennifer lopez when she said she had no idea hot guy was. i don't even think she knew where she was. she did know she was making 1.4 mil, last word, miller. >> it's chinatown, jake. i give up. the world has gone mad. whatever anybody wants, they got my pod face on. >> bill: i have turned down offer for you and i to appear at the next birthday for the dictator. >> we're performing at jlo's birthday. did i tell you? >> bill: that's excellent. if you would like to see miller and i on stage, final three shows of the year are friday october 11th nashville at the auditorium. saturday october 12th jacksonville florida at the more ran theater friday november 15th. caesar palace in vegas. those shows will sell out. details on bill o'reilly.com. next on the factor, why is this baby causing an internet sensation? did you see that moments away.

>> bill: back of the book segment tonight. did you see that? a few days ago a story out of syria sent a bunch of jihadists fighting against the assad regime beheaded a catholic priest. [speaking foreign language] >> bill: apparently the priest wound up dead, something about the video and the story itself didn't add up. so i held it back. now we have more information. here is juliet huddy to tell us what she knows. >> turns out that this was not the catholic priest father that people had said it was initially. it turns out that these
1:49 am
