megyn kelly on that. caution, you are billion to enter the noption. the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. president obama stays north of the border. that is the subject of this evening's talking points memo. has been a bizarre few days for the president. yesterday, he was in colorado raising money and socializing, drinking beer. playing pool. in a comp time, there would be nothing wrong with that but this is far from a calm time. war could break out in the middle east at any moment and we now have about 60,000 foreperson children under u.s. care because the southern border is so chaotic. many are calling that a humanitarian disaster and it is let's see possible war in the middle east. humanitarian disaster on the border and barack obama is socializing? not good.

today, president arrived in texas for more fundraising and socializing. he is refusing to go to the border which has even some of his own supporters mission find. >> he is so close to the border. let me say. this when i saw and i hate to use the word bizarre, but out, when he is shown playing pool in colorado, drinking a beer and he can't even go to 42 miles to the texas border plirttle if he doesn't want to go down to the border there is the air force base or h.h.s. that is holding some of the young kids from the border. he can at least make that trip to san santonio. >> that's a democrat. instead of visiting the border. the president met with governor perry later this afternoon in dallas. after that the president assessed the board situation. basically blaming the house of representatives for failing to deal with the inner and not passing a

comprehensive immigration law. >> congress has the capacity to work with us, work with state officials local officials and faith based groups and not for profits who are helping to care for these kids. congress has the capacity to work with all parties concerned to directly address this situation. >> so he punted to congress. in the q and a that followed his remarks, the president addressed the national here, he endorsed. >> the governor's one concern that he mentioned to me was is that setting aside the supplemental, i should go ahead and authorize having national guard troops surge at the border right away. what i told him is we are happy to consider how we could deploy national guard down there but that's a

temporary solution. that's not a permanent solution. >> so what? so what? stop the bleeding, mr. president. protect the poor kids who are being exploited. come on, take some action. it is indeed strange that president obama does not see the damage being done to his own legacy. i mean, when the mainstream media, which generally adores the man, starts to hammer him, you would think he would wake up and smell the chaos. but, no, the president does not seem to feel any sense of urgency to confront growing problems all over the world. even his most dedicated supporters sound confused. >> it's almost like the crisis in syria generated this enormous crisis on the border of jordan certainly doesn't equal what we are doing. that's what happened and that's what happened. i don't think in any way you can fault the administration for. this. >> what? ms. lee is babbling. she makes absolutely no sense. anyone who doesn't fault the administration for the

border mess and the rise of terrorism in the middle east is a moron. moron, moron. finally, let's deal with the compassion issue. today the u.n. is lobbying to designate many of the children and guardians who enter let me tell you something, central america has been out of control for decades, i covered the el salvador war. and the u.n. knows it is out of control. but that body would love, would love to dump the entire problem of incompetent and corrupt governments and central americans right into the lap of the american taxpayer. if you watch the factor, you know we have had intense debates with those who believe we should accept every child who lives in dire circumstance around the world. if you disagree with that opinion, you are a mean person, unchristian. the harsh truth is that america simply cannot assimilate the oppressed populations of the world including the poor children.

our own poor children are getting short changed because of the billions of dollars the government is spending trying to provide social justice for the rest of the world. america is nearly bankrupt and believe me, that is not compassionate towards we the people. i myself give hundreds of thousands of dollars to poor kids in mexico and haiti and other places around the globe. all americans should do what we can do to help the poor. but creating huge social and economic problems inside our own country is irresponsible and unamerican, period. >> that's the memo. now for the top story tonight. let's go down to dallas with fox news chief white house correspondent ed henry has the latest on president obama's visit. what is the headline for you tonight, ed? >> the headline for me is the president refused to go to the border, even though some of his fellow democrats are demanding he do it. yet, he went to colorado to raise money for a democratic senator this morning who didn't show up. mark udall said look, he he had senate business and there were some votes and

things he had to do. at the end of the day it shows that even democrats, vulnerable ones in senate races don't want to appear with the president right now. in places where his fellow democrats maybe want him to go. they have been saying in recent days. the democratic congressman here in texas saying show your concern, go to the border. you have been behind on this. not necessarily listening to them. that's the state of his presidency tonight. >> all right. now, he blamed congress as he usually does. specifically the house because the senate did pass the so-called comprehensive immigration reform law. but the house won't because it continues not to trust the president. there is a big trust deficit here. the house of representatives, the republican party, concerning americans, they simply don't trust barack obama. is he aware of that in your opinion? >> i think he is aware that they don't trust him. he is aware that they don't want to work with him on a lot of these issues. >> they don't want to work with him because they don't trust him. see, they are not going to

pass. i favored the comprehensive immigration reform bill and we have senator mccain coming up behind you. i did. but i never would vote for it now after what we have seen the past six months with that border, a sieve. i would never vote for that. >> right. so he has got to clean up the crisis in the short-term. you are right on that. if he has any hope of doing anything long erm it. because the long-term situation is dead until he fixes the system in the short-term. >> and you think he knows that? >> but, he -- i think he is struggling to come to terms with it because it's a legacy item that he wants to get done that he thought he would have done by now. remember, he promised to get comprehensive immigration reform done not in his first term in his first year. that's what he told john mccain your next guest in 2008. that's what i promised voters. >> whole presentation tonight was what we need is comprehensive immigration reform totally dodging. he mentioned the regulation legislation on the border. >> too little insider nuggets for you. everyone is talking about

how he wrote on this helicopter marine one for 15 minutes with governor perry. i'm told by someone on the helicopter that then when they landed here at love field. they went into a room one-on-one for about 10, 15 minutes and had a longer discussion. now, both of them came out still divided on the national guard and everything else. but, to your point about trust, look, give the president some credit, he went behind closed doors with an enemy here, republican governor rick perry and trying to reach out to him. whether that bears any fruit we will see. today on capitol hill, very quietly behind the scenes. henry, the democrat beating up on the president saying this could be his katrina h a meeting with administration officials and apparently they are making progress it appears on tweaking that 2008 law that treats central american children different, for example, from mexican children. will they have a break through? we will see in the next 24 to 48 hours. i would watch that stuff happening behind the scenes. they may be able to deport some of these children that don't belong here quicker. that would be a big deal. >> next on rundown, as we

mentioned senator john mccain will join us. and i will ask him a very simple question. is president incompetent? right back with the senator.

challenges challenges from china this situation on our border, i never encompassed and imagined there would be a lack of positive american leadership and consequences are horrendous. 170 dead in syria the list goes on and on. >> we all know that. and we're just showing as you're speaking pictures of the president playing pool in denver last night. nobody beegrudges for him for that. but tens of thousands of children being warehoused can you imagine the ordeal they've had to endure coming up through mexico? a third of them are brutalized. there is the president, playing

pool. you know? could be in one of the shelters down there. to me that not leadership. i'm not saying this from a part wri san point of view. >> i think it's pretty clear that by not going to the border or the air force base where thousands and hundreds of the children are shows a lack of sensitivity. he could do by the way be down there, thank the people laboring, 4-7 trying to care for the kids. there are people, i've been to our border in nogales, arizona . the people there are going without rest trying to keep up and give the agreement all human beings deserve the president doesn't seem to understand the families pay thousands of dollars to get their kids here to the worst of

all humanity, you mention what happens to the children. particularly, the young women. and we are -- he has nudging in his proposal to repeal that 2008 ad because we should be sending those kids home. and the way it's going to stop is when families see plainly loads of the kids arriving back in the country. >> absolutely. >> and the money is wasted. you can stop that tomorrow if the national guard goes down to the border, we've been saying that for years here. but it's, there is a figure. >> go ahead >> can i interrupt? yes. the guard is important but you've got to repeal law called traffic victim act. >> it's noernl way to do that. >> there are discussions that should have been his first priority. if you want to stop the bleeding that is the way to do it. should have been the first priority. it's not mentioned in his proposal for all of the legislation of $3.7 billion.

>> okay. you're right. i don't think it's the first. i think it's the second the first is telling the country of mexico you better knock it off. you've been a senator for arizona for decades. this is the most-corrupt operation in mexico city m the hemisphere. that i know what's happening. the kids are marching through that country. it's 135 miles down there. you're telling me they can't stop it? where is president obama and secretary of state kerry? they sent biden down. i would call for a boycott. americans should not travel to mexico or buy their products. you can say shut this down now or you can forget about nafta. i'll use a pen and phone and we're not going to do deals with you. what is wrong with that, senator? >> nothing is wrong with that other than telling central

american countries we give a lot of assistance to their that the knot going to get another dime until they stop it if a child is in fear of being persecuted in the environment in which they live go to our embassy, apply for asylum. we can expand those capabilities. not have them show up at the border. tell them they'll be returned. >> look. once the guard goes down there, the president will have to do it, pictures will go out on "the factor" and into central america. that will discourage the $700 paying coyotes to bring them here. you know i'mting tired of seeing the president the united states doing nothing. isis just appears out of nowhere? that is a two-year making. we did nothing there i know you're pounding the table. but come on. enough is enough. last word? >> when the president decided

that we'll not keep a force that was the case that was the beginning of the whole fiasco in iraq the same thing will happen in afghanistan if he does not leave a residual force there. >> senator, thank you. directly ahead, breaking news about irs scandal. an e mail seems to indicate a cover up. and later, miller a weigh in on the southern border and soccer madness. upcoming. ♪

hot topics, is the obama administration doing anything to pressure mexico as we talked with the senator about it and the central american countries to stop children from illegally entering this country? also a shocking email concerning the irs scandal. joining us from washington ace reporters carl cameron and james rosen. begin with you, secretary

john kerry in china, far away from the mexican border. but do you see any kind of pressure being brought to bear on el salvador, mexico and guatemala by the obama administration. >> mexico added five new control centers along border to tighten up security there the mexicans will have returned roughly 90,000 ill lyles to the central american countries from whence they came. senior obama administration officials will tell you mention co-is one part of a much larger problem here. that they are working around the clock to deal with this surge of 60,000 illegal immigrant minors coming chiefly from as you mentioned three central american countries, guatemala, honduras, el salvador. phone calls with with vice president biden. the administration approach here basically breaks down bill into two categories. stuff they have already done since around may with existing funds and. things they want to do for which yesterday the president asked congress for nearly $4 billion. >> look, i mean, you are

telling me mexico doesn't know that tens of thousands of minors are marching through its territory? of course they know. it's so hollow. now they are going to put up little stations or whatever. this can be shut down in a week. put the guard on the border. you say to mexico. seal the southern border you can forget about this trade agriment or that trade agreement. boycott you like o'reilly is and nobody is going down there. wait until you see, rosen, how fast that problem gets solved kerry, he went to mexico city in may, right? >> yeah. >> what came out of that? >> not enough, obviously. you talk about things like boycotts and that would have a real impact on american workers. we are talking about billions of dollars a day. >> short-term. >> per day. >> in trade and services between mexico and canada. we do more business every year with mexico than we do with brazil, rush sharks india, and china combined.

>> i'm aware of that, rosen. i'm aware of it but how much damage does mexico do to the u.s.a. with the drug trafficking, the human smuggling? come on. it's got to stop. we're not cowards. got a big irs story here. lois lerner. the elm familiar miss, -- infamous. lois lerner sends an email from her irs perch to another irs person. i'm quoting the email now: i was cautioning folks about the email and had several occasions where congress has asked for emails and there has been electronic search for responsive emails so we need to be cautious about what we say in emails. someone asked if ocs conversations with also searchable. i don't know. but told them i would get back to them. ocs is, what, cammeron? >> ocs is instant messaging available to irs employees. of course, lois lerner and this email probably finds

herself in a little bit deeper trouble. when lerner found out that they were not saved automatically, her one word response to the it person she was emailing was perfect. tens of thousands of her emails were lost in a computer crash that a lot of experts are pretty sceptic call about. >> i have to ask you opinion question even though you are a hard news reporter. this looks like lois lerner is suggesting that a coverup is good. let's get rid of any emails that implicate us for doing bad things. that's what it looks like. it's not 100% provable. >> will is a whole bunch of problems with this. the congress subpoenaed all relevant irs records months ago and never got any text message like. they even didn't know that the irs had this instant messaging program. another thing lerner washes federal employees not to put stuff in writing so congress can't see what irs is up to. well, that is in fact congress' job. the fact is she is putting in writing. she said don't write it and look what she has written.

finally congress is reading it and there is a timing problem. lerner wrote these emails just shortly after she learned that the irs inspector general was beginning to look into what the irs now actually admits was the improper targeting of conservative groups. >> so all of the circumstantial evidence points to lois lerner covering up some activities within the irs. am i wrong? >> yeah, no. republicans have been alleging a coverup. >> i know that but now we have evidence. this is hard evidence. >> and now what they are going to do is really ramp up additional calls for a special prosecutor. most of which have fallen on deaf ears. but they believe that this is as close to the smoking gun as has yet been revealed. >> i agree with that how did they get this email real quick? >> it came in a data dump the night before the fourth of july. >> all right. gentlemen, thank you. we appreciate it as always. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. ms. megyn kelly has the latest on marine sergeant tahmooressi who was in a mexican court today.

there? >> >> we will find out momentarily. perhaps it's been going on longer than expected. >> right. >> it's the first time he has had the opportunity to address the court himself and tell his own story. originally he had a lawyer tell the story that wasn't true. he spoke to cops and told them a story that wasn't true. that was on his lawyer's advice. then he fired that lawyer for giving him bad advice. i think he could be in trouble here, bill. because the mexican authorities are going to testify that the head of mexican customs tee onthat he never told us he was a marine or lost. he told us he was crossing the border to visit friends and then he told us he was crossings the border to come from medical treatment. so he they don't believe his story. >> i don't want to get in the middle of this. but the guy is being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder. >> i know. >> he had three guns in the back of his car. >> he had all of his earthly belongings in i his truck. this isn't fast and furious. >> he has no criminal record. >> right. so you would just think that

the mexican president and the judicial authorities for humane reasons, okay, would just say okay. i'm going to let the guy serve 100 days already in jail let him go. let the gringo go because we want goodwill with america. >> the reason they won't is because mexico takes the rule of law very -- oh, waited. >> see how seriously on the border. >> when it comes to crossing the border that no, that's not true either. >> we're making fun of mexico and they deserve it okay, now there is a lawsuit in saint paul, minnesota. jesse ventura who is a march jingle bellly interesting guy. suing the widow on navy seal chris kyle. i want to set this up because we had mr. kyle who was shot to death by the way promoting his book on this program this is what got him in trouble with ventura. go. >> you say you knocked jesse ventura to the punch.

you mention his name but everybody knows who is. you knocked him out? >> i knocked him down. >> knocked him down. why? why would you punch ventura? so he was bad mouthing the war, right? >> bad mouthing the war. bad mouthing bush. bad mouthing america. >> you took exception? >> i did find a problem with it. >> all right. so ventura says that never happened. and he is suing now mr. kyle, who is deceased. >> for defamation. >> the widow. i said this is ridiculous. he should drop it. what do you think. >> i agree with you. grow a thicker skin. it's like you are a politician, bad false things get said about politicians all the time. he has clearly got an axe to grind. why would this navy seal make this up story out of whole cloth about jesse ventura, a man he had never met before. >> here is the rub on the story. there are witnesses to. this and if mrs. kyle can just produce one or two witnesses, he loses. >> well, he loses anyway.

jesse ventura obviously has lost all credibility in this country. >> what does kyle say about jesse ventura that jesse finds so objectionable. he says he was in the bar and criticizing the iraq war. he has done that publicly. he said he was ripping on the american military. jesse ventura does that. he also served in the navy and part of the predecessor to the seals. but then he also said that he punched out jesse ventura. that's what got venture goat. i say grow up. >> to be fair to ventura. he said that ventura said some of your guys deserve to die. i think that's what got him. >> the navy seals could lose a few. >> and that's what got venture ravment but, either way, again, we go back to the humanitarian thing. >> the man is dead. >> does not deserve to be dragged through this, jesse, you are hurting yourself because decent americans are turning their back. >> how many false things have been said but and the press. you are not even a politician.

>> six. >> that's good. >> 6 million. 6 million. >> you can't go around suing every time. >> if i could i would, but i can't. >> bill was saying defamatory things about before the seeing. >> coming up behind us on the factor. one more question for you. how was this safari?

about this whole thing but let me say, this billy any time you are letting your child traveling alone on foot internationally you are not doing a bang up job as a parent. that's what i would say. >> it is a more sophisticated situation like this. these people go down to el salvador and they take $700, $800 kids travel primarily in trucks and buses think can't out. teenage girls getting raped and abused all of that americans co-is waiving them on through and they know what's going through. and they be bribed. president obama seems to be incapable of really doing anything other than blaming the house of representatives, miller. is what i want to say all the people who want to come here. i know you have heard great stories about it not what it used to be. i think we have seen our

best days. let me give you a few examples, folks. i know to my mexican brethren so many acquaintances and people i live here in santa barbara. major party those living in mexico who something called job block. they don't want people to work anymore. i know that's going to drive you crazy when you get here. the country has gone nuts. there are morbidly obese guys falling asleep at baseball games that are nationally televised, somebody notices it and said something and then they are allowed to file a lawsuit for $10 million you don't want to come here. big guy in a bratwurst coma. neck looks the same as his bald head. sue him. you don't want to come here. lastly, sit down and let me tell you this. this is the craziest part to the mexican people want to come here. we don't have a border

ironclad thing here, we have nothing. you don't want to come here. stay where you are. it's coming back around. this will be part of mexico again. save yourself 800 bucks and the trip. >> you know what the tipping point was for me? when i saw a drug smuggler or human smuggler, is he probably smuggling everything he can use a jet ski to drive up to the -- our side of the rio grande and the guy gets off, you know, adios, amig go and walks up the bank, a jet ski. all right? talk about the lane for the illegal aliens on the 405. they are now using jet skis. >> i don't care who comes here anymore i really don't. anybody can come and do what they want. i'm off the case. and if i was in that phoenix v.a. hospital, i would get up if i could out of the out of the bed. i would go down to the border. turn in this way. and say i look old for my

age. try to get some of that $3.7 billion. this country has gone nuts and this you know what? i can't spend every day worried about it i'm in the united states of dennis miller now. whatever happens. >> now, today i watched argentina and the netherlands play soccer for about 17 hours and no one scored, miller. what say you? >> you are kind of used to at this point not scoring. i don't think it should upset you that much. >> you are saying that in a sporting sense, i assume? >> what other way is there, billy? >> i don't like soccer but i like the world cup. just because of the consequences. now, a couple things i don't like i don't like them spraying that aerosol can to mark where they kick from that close to the rain forest. you are ruining an ecosystem there. and i think that is bad form. now, the international institute of -- i don't know

if you heard, this bill. iia came out this afternoon say they have replaced selling ice to eskimos with trying to sell tickets to this final game on rio on sunday. because this is argentina versus the germans. what are you kidding me in the people of brazil are absolutely heart broken. i had germany, unfortunately i gave 7 against brazil. that came back to bite me. the boys from brazil were happy about the victory. i must say that, you know, i don't like soccer like i said but i like the world cup. >> all right. there is a lot of exchange program back in the late 40s. >> everybody come here. i don't care anymore. just don't blame me if you get here and you are disappointed. because the old gray mare ain't what she used to be. >> go and camp out in your backyard? >> i don't care anymore. whatever anybody wants. i'm an ed mcmahon

republican. yes, sir, i just agree. >> in a couple weeks we will see everybody for the bolder fresher show. july 25th fargo, july 2 of 6th. few tickets remain. in the fall west virginia and philadelphia, boston, caesar's palace in vegas. details on the web site. these shows are a blast. treat yourself. nbc news turning against president obama. is that even possible? right back with it.

back of the book segment tonight, if president obama losing the national media, his administration is over. indications are, that might be happening. >> whether it was v.a., whether it was the healthcare debacle. whether it was isis in iraq. which is -- boy, this all came up on us faster than we have expected examine. we have had our eye on this. but, boy, we didn't expect it to be this bad.

>> the border patrol holds the immigrants only long enough it process them. then as we saw firsthand, releases them at local greyhound stations where they are free to go anywhere. >> i know that, you know, your unfortunate job is to say what has >> your unfortunate job is to say what has been done, but what has been done so far has not stemmed the far. the white house can say it all they want, but at some point, people are going to ask, and right now, your own democrats on the hill are asking why it was permitted to happen, to get to this stage. >> joining us, lauren ashburn and howard kurtz. you think the national media is turning on the president now? >> i been saying for months the mainstream media are turning against the president, and even the folks at msnbc not getting the thrill anymore. this is the third or fourth problem in a row. and the liberal commentators are disillusions, bummed, they need

medication. this is their guy. when it comes to managing the government and crises, it's hard for them to defend them. >> i haven't seen that on msnbc, they still either avoid the issue or throw out rank propaganda, but i have seen in the straight news precincts, they are starting to really come down on the president. what have you seen, lauren? >> well, just this evening on msnbc, chris matthews actually said that the president was conflicted. he looked conflicted. and other guests said, it really looked tired and he looked unhappy. >> conflicted about what? not that i care about what happens over there, but what was the point? conflicted about what? >> the point is he's conflicted as he's standing there in texas, not going to the border, that he doesn't know quite what to do. >> he's not conflicted about going to the border. it's erroneous. he didn't want to go to the border. it was never debated. he was going to play pool and go

down and give a speech in denver. because, howard, if he goes to the border, it brings more attention to the failure of the border. it's very simple, is it not? >> yes, but optics matter. the president doesn't want to be seen in texas because then he owns the problem, but at the same time, it looks like he's avoiding it. >> he is avoiding it, howard. >> i know. >> it doesn't look like it. he is avoiding it. it's the house of representatives' fault. they did it. >> he is doing the blinking. >> we also saw this with the v.a. scandal and the missing irs e-mails. the president seems to be behind the curve, and the regular reporters, people who try to be fair, they have largely written barack obama off, they think he's a lame duck. >> here's the reason, one of the reasons that this is happening now, that they're turning against him now. is that believe it or not, bill, maybe your viewers wouldn't even

believe this, but mainstream media, reporters are actual human beings first. and this crisi is too big for them to ignore. when you see those poor children lying on the ground, covered in a paper blanket, how can that not affect how you cover this issue? >> well, it can't. but you're very misguided if you think reporters are human beings. i'm sorry. i have been in the business for 38 years and they aren't. anyway, we appreciate you guys coming on. back with tip of the day. a television show tonight that may shed light on mexican corruption. the tip, moments away. dentures are very different to real teeth. they're about 10 times softer and may have surface pores where bacteria can multiply.

polident kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria and helps dissolve stains. that's why i recommend polident. [ male announcer ] cleaner, fresher, brighter every day.

tip of the day, a tv show dealing with mexican corruption in a moment, but first we're happy to tell you the kids book, the last days of jesus continues to perform well. last days is the children's version of killing jesus. it is number seven on a youth

list this week after about six weeks on the market. killing jesus remains on the best seller list as well. it's the biggest nonfiction selling book of the year. killing jesus, it was in 2013 and continues in 2014. >> recently, i suggested parents get the book this summer, get them off the machines. it looks like that's happening. thank you all very much. >> now, to sar asota, florida. enough with having kirsten powers on the factor. she has no clue and just insults you. everyone insults me, and i believe she makes some good arguments. wayne in las vegas, bill, you are a egotistical know nothing scoundrel. kirsten should get a raise dealing with you. joseph, the failure of president obama to protect the southern border threatens my kids. increased debt, overcrowding schools and hospital chaos are

all real problems. bill from california, your fact-based talking points on immigration were the best i have heard. we spend $25 billion on illegal immigrants. mr. o'reilly, i love the factor but i'm confused by your call to put the national guard on the border. what would they do? they would control the flash points like the rio grande valley, and they would prevent folks from physically setting foot on u.s. soil. you couldn't drive a jet ski up and get off because there would be two guardsmen going, back there. if they have to push you in the water, they push you in the water. they would turn around the intruders and take into custody anyone guiding them. jim in san francisco, who wrote your talking points yesterday? as you know, i did. i write everything i say on the factor, which i believe is unique in tv journalism for an anchor. we don't even have a writeren staff.

o'reilly, your tip on headaches works. i woke up with one, scrunched my face and it went away. the trick is you have to hold the scrunch, tight jaw, for 30 seconds. and it works. if you do that, you look funny and people might have you arrested, but your headache will go. sun city, california, wow, bill, you sure can dress yourself. as ricardo montalban once said, you look marvelous. i believe it was billy crystal lampooning him. he was into corinthian leather, you'll remember. a tv show on fx tonight is called "the bridge." a good friend of mine, joseph garcia, is in it. the reason i'm mentioning it is because it deals with mexican corruption in a fictional drama. you might want to check it out. if you're interested in mexican corruption, and of course, we are here at the factor. tip of the day.

and that is it for us tonight. please check out the fox news factor website which is different from billo'reilly.com. o'reilly and fox news.com. name and town. tomorrow, our mad as hell segment, we would like to know what is -- you know, don't write me letters about immigration or terrorism, because we use that in the body of the main letters, but the mad as hell segment is personally in your life, what steams you? you know, in your dealings with other people, in your dealings with whatever. what makes you angry? all right, the address is different. it's mad as hell@foxnews.com. tomorrow, we'll have our segment with heather. again, thanks for watching us tonight. as mentioned, ms. megyn warming up in the bull pen. i'm bill o'reilly. please always remember, spin

always stops here because we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, one of america's best allies standing on the brink of all-out war, and the president is once again at a fund-raiser. welcome to the kelly file, everyone, i'm megyn kelly. it is 4:00 a.m. in tel aviv, but no one is sleeping easy. we have now seen 24 hours of hamas rocket attacks almost constantly raining down on israel, our closest ally in the middle east. we have been watching israeli media sites all night as reports of new attacks on israel flash every five to ten minutes or faster. israeli air strikes have been hitting gaza for hours in response. so far today, no casualties reported on the israeli side. that is due in large part to its iron dome
