tv not easy these days. bernie goldberg on the case. >> you can tell us anything more? >> boy, you are a dumb ass aren't you? >> caution. you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now? ♪ ♪ >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. some very bad things happened in the world today and that is is the subject of this evening's live talking points memo. tonight, we'll have the latest on a savage display over the skies of ukraine. killers firing a missile at a civilian airliner, a malaysian jet killing 298 people, that's just been updated. possibly, including some americans we may have more information on that during this hour. also, israel has sent ground troops into palestinian territory to hunt down hamas terrorists and their rocket arsenals, hundreds have been

killed there. bad news breaking out all over the place tonight. we will do the best to provide with you accurate reporting, not speculation. we begin with the jet liner. malaysian air flight 17 in route from amsterdam, holland to koala lamb poor was shot out of the sky not far from the russian border. suspicion immediately fell on ukrainian separatists who want part of that country to be annexed by russia. because they had used missiles to bring down a cargo plane on monday. of course, vladimir putin is supplying these heavy weapons to the terrorists so he is directly responsible. i bet you don't hear european leaders or president obama say that but it's true. russia is trying to undermine ukraine and giving weapons to killers. no question about it. so, over the next few days, you will hear the usual calls for investigations and meetings and talks and discussions. but little will happen to putin. because the west is essentially afraid of him and he knows it. meantime, the families and friends of 298 human beings

grieve tonight. is putin grieving? that's the memo. now, we get into the special coverage of this story and later on of the israeli army entering palestinian territory. first up, joining us from washington, fox news chief washington correspondent james rosen. all right, rosen, what's new tonight? >> well, bill, good evening. there are reports tonight that nearly two dozen of the passengers on board this aircraft were americans. or at least holders of u.s. passports. but those reports remain unconfirmed. however, senior u.s. officials have confirmed to our pentagon team that the plane was, in fact, shot down by a so-called buk surface-to-air missile. it's the very category of missile that the rebels there in eastern ukraine last month boasted of having acquired when they seized control of the missile defense site in donestsk. they have phone intercepts directly implicating two russian military officials in this attack.

president obama and president putin discussed that by phone today. came one day after russian sanctions manufactures this kind of missile. the kremlin has issued a statement in the name of president putin attributing responsibility for this incident to ukraine not saying anything specific about who or what actually shot down that plane. it's actually the third ukrainian plane downed in this region this week. in short, this incident stands to escalate the crisis tensions in u.s. russians relations to a new level. senator john mccain republican senator calls it one of the serious events since the end of the cold war. bill, when you consider it in tam den it up the pressure on the intense criticism for foreign policy, bill. >> we have a number of foreign nationals on the malaysian jet that the airline has put out. all right? >> right. >> the number of dutch-european people. why the hold up on americans? why have we not gotten the

information on that? >> well, it may just be an issue of logistic its. it's unclear the state department was asked this afternoon if they could confirm the reports were already circulating hours ago about 22 u.s. passporters being on this plane. the state has not confirmed it perhaps it has to deal with privacy issues. notify the next of kin, perhaps. i'm speculating there the answer is we don't have the answer. >> we had like 153 confirmed dead in the countries that they came to. as you know, because you travel a lot, rosen, when you buy an international ticket you have to show a pose port. so, the manifest on the plane they know whether americans are there or not. they haven't released. it may be what you are saying. they want to get to the next of kin. all right, rosen stand by, if you have got anything else, we will break. in bring in stephens now columnist for the "wall street journal." there is no question in my mind that these so-called separatists, i call them

terrorists, did this. they had motive. they had the hardware. and -- >> -- and the history. >> come on. and you know whether they intercepted people talking about it or it was on twitter or whatever, they did it. now, will there, in your opinion, be any repercussions on putin who, of course, makes sure they have these heavy weapons. they couldn't get them from anywhere else? >> that's right. i think we have to establish a chain of responsibility here. and the guy who is the is military commander of the so-called donetsk people's epublic a separatist group. a guy by the name of igor or gierken march of 2013 been a member of the fsb, successor to the kgb. the connections between these separatists and russia is absolutely undeniable. the only people deny it are the russians themselves. the question is whether obama is going to pursue the same strategy he did after

crimea, which is condemn and forget. or is there going to be a genuine change in american policy towards russia? that has to go beyond just issuing a handful of sanctions just a few individuals. >> certainly americans don't want a war over ukraine even if the malaysian yet jet liner was shot out of the air my question is. this i don't think folks understand why putin is doing what he is doing. you can briefly explain why putin is arming these terrorists? >> sure. >> for what reason? >> because he gets away with it. >> no, no. there must be a reason for putin. he must want something out of it. >> putin sees his historical role as reconstituting the old, if not the old soviet union, then the czarist empire. he sees all of these areas of kiev. he wants part of the ukraine. already taken part of it, crimia, he wants more of it to just come over to russia? is that what he is after here. >> that's exactly it remember by the way.

there are a lot of russian minorities in nato countries like his stone iily -- if he feels he can get away with an invasion of georgia. >> do other countries. he is undermining the government of ukraine. is he creating this civil war by arming and supplying and probably paying these separatists terrorist to cause all kinds of havoc. that's what is he doing. >> we are doing almost nothing there is no will. can you criticize president obama. but you have got to criticize merkel and cammeron and the french guy and everybody else. >> but they take their cues from the united states, bill. >> no they don't. i don't believe that. >> historically europeans have taken cues from the united states. you have an american president who is saying we have absolutely no will to support a democratic government. >> i think if putin were trend by -- threatened by the united states. i don't think europe would stand up against him. i really don't. i don't think they care. now, the american

government, the faa, wouldn't let american planes fly over that territory. all right? because they knew that these terrorist separatists had these surface to it air missiles supplied by russia. american jets, we're told, don't go over there why did the malaysian jet go? >> it was also a klm jet. it was a code share. because it was cleared for civil aviation, because they were cleared to fly above 8,000 feet. they did not expect that they would have a surface-to-air missile capable of hitting targets up to 72,000 feet which is apparently what these buk missiles are capable. >> sure, these are powerful missiles. >> bill, when you fly internationally, you are flying over all kinds of dangerous places where you are potentially at risk. >> the just don't fly over it's too dangerous, you would think that the dutch and malaysians would take their cue, i would think they will from now on. the responsibility still lies with russia and its proxy. >> i said in my usual flamboyant way that nothing is going to happen to putin. do you agree?

>> i'm terrified to agree he but i do. this is an administration that refuses to stand up to aggressors. >> they may do more sanctions and do all that saber rattling but they are not going to do anything to them. all right, bret. we appreciate you coming. in next on the rundown, what is president obama doing tonight after a terrible day for the world? fundraising. our white house guy ed henry moments away.

impact segment tonight. mover challenges for president obama. tonight is he here in new york city again raising money for political campaigns even though all hell is breaking loose in the middle east and in ukraine. joining us now from washington. fnc chief white house correspondent ed henry. i said this last week and i will say it again tonight. this fundraising business in the face of intense situations like the border last week and what we have today makes president obama look bad. but he doesn't seem to care.

he doesn't seem to care. am i wrong? >> it's hard to argue with the imagery of this because last week it was texas. as you say, he was fundraising, said i'm not going to go to the border and said well, i'm not interested in photo ops. what did he do today as this crisis was unfolding, a photo op. with a single mom in delaware who wrote him a letter about her plight and then an event in delaware to push for highway funding basically a photo op. in front of a port. he continues to do that and why is he doing it? think back to where this week started that massive "wall street journal" front page story that listed all the crises around the world and it said there is a news story, not a column and it said american global power seems to not be at its top strength right now. i asked josh ernest about it what did he say? he said it's tranquil. some of the president's policies have made the world more tranquil. maybe that's why he thinks he can fund raise if you look at what is going on tonight. >> maybe that's possible. maybe that finland, it's tranquil. but, look, i continue to believe, and i wanted you to tell me if i'm wrong because

you know him better than i know him, he doesn't give a hoot anymore, henry. he doesn't care what people think about him. he is gonna do what he wants to do. he is here at an apartment on the upper west side. charging $32,000 a head to go in there and, you know take a photo with them and then is he going back to washington. meanwhile the secretary of state kerry, who does care what people think of him, cancelled an event he had scheduled in front of the jewish group tonight. >> the president could have sent vice president biden to these fundraisers. he could have sent valerie jarrett. >> he couldn't do that. but get back to my question. he doesn't care what people think about him anymore, henry. >>. no i don't think he does care. >>. no about the criticism. i think he cares about being president. i could think he cares about being commander and chief. but, yes, he doesn't care about the criticism. he thinks that the people

going off on him about fundraising and the like missed the fact that he is playing the long game on immigration reform and all these other issues. but these there are these crises that keep popping up day after day after day. and when he continues to kind of push off the criticism, it looks like maybe he doesn't care. and you are right, is he getting closer and closer to being a lame duck. once these mid terms come up in november. especially if he loads control of the senate to republicans. he is he going to be that much closer to it a lame you can duck. that's just a fact. >> the other thing attached to this is that i do not believe president obama feels the united states has an obligation to right wrongs in the world. so the malaysian jet liner gets popped, okay. now, if it turns out 23 americans are on board. then the whole thing goes bigger. but, he doesn't feel like we should do anything to putin because putin is responsible for this, which he is, and the same thing in gaza. he doesn't think that the united states should get involved. let the israelis and palestinians and hamas sort it out. that's the way he feels.

>> he does have limited options with israelis and palestinians and i would push back harder in terms it of sure i agree with you that he doesn't care about the criticism. he does care about america trying to step in on some of these things. i mean, why was it that the president was touting this week that we stepped in to fix this afghan election and try to make sure the security. >> because troops are there it's a different situation. >> you know, yesterday, rather, he sanctioned russia again. i agree twhaw putin, it hasn't changed his behavior much. but to suggest that the president just doesn't care and doesn't think america has any ability to change events at all, he is trying on the sanctions, i just frankly don't think putin cares very much. >> all right. ed henry, everybody. thank you. directly ahead, what about the president and fundraising. is it appropriate during emergency situations like tonight? we'll hear from obenshain and carville. later, goldberg on the perils of live coverage on american television. not an easy situation. those reports after these messages. with you for a second.

bill, bad enough. the photo op. at the charcoal grill. even worse i watched his today 40 seconds to the airline crash which he called a potential tragedy. it was a expar that with 31 years ago when president reagan rushed home from santa barbara vacation when the korean jit liner fell out of the air. calling it crime against humanitarian. very serious about the implications of this. president obama is glad handing, ordering burgersed medium well while the world is falling apart in other regions. it's a stunning thing. either is tone deaf or or as you said he just doesn't care. >> what do you say, james? i. >> i thought he should have gone to the border. i thought he could make a real difference on the border. ill still do. i don't think it makes a real difference here. i think they are getting

information together. they had sanctions they have already implemented against the russians in conjunction with the europeans. the optics you could dispute where the optics are are good or bad. >> secretary of state john kerry cancelled an event he had in front of a jewish group tonight. you know, i wouldn't have done it i'm president obama. i would have said, listen, you know, i'll come later on in the summer, whatever, but i have got to get back i have got to monitor these 23 americans. i don't want to be in somebody is' apartment. that's number one. and, you know, true leadership, carville, you know history a little bit. not a lot like me. you don't hear abraham lincoln,like. you know, i would like to concentrate on the battle of bull run, i have got it raise some money, you know that doesn't happen. >> you know the history. you know that franklin roosevelt was with his mistress during the battle of okinawa when he died.

>> talk about bill clinton, too. >> presidents take vacations. presidents do things. and you are at the beginning of the show. there is really nothing he can do. it's just that the optic its are bad. >> but it's leadership. leadership, james. >> he -- had sanctions that have led, they had the sanctions done before this ever happened. >> what good did they do. >> putin still told people not to fly over this area. >> all right. >> what good do the sanction does when putin gives these terrorists a these missiles. >> announced yesterday, bill. how announced yesterday? >> you know, kate, do you feel -- i mean, to be fair to president obama, the one thing that you stated was in his transportation speech, you know, he just gave had 0 seconds to it that was almost simultaneously with the story breaking. so he didn't have a lot -- i was following this almost second by second today. all right? and i was watching the whole thing because i knew what we were going to do if he had continued to fund raise. so i wasn't upset about

that. but, once 23 americans are in play, then, no, no. >> bill, you don't think that the president of the united states is aware and pretty in pretty quick form as to how many americans were possible? we found out pretty quickly there were americans on board. and the lack lack days sick call way. there was a reporter from the daily news in england who was in an airport watching that speech. and there was a collective gasp from people who were watching on the airports, on the airport screen how cavalier he was about this. there were tweets. i know you don't do the twitter thing, but, you had piers morgan trashing him. josh grow ban, daniel hannon talking what a disgrace of the president was. during those remarks, bill, i strongly suggest that people go watch that and watch the president's attitude. it is about leadership. it's about whoever made this happen, this is serious.

>> almost 300 americans have been killed. we suspect they have. i'm giving carville the last word. >> if the 23 americans were targeted, yes. there is no evidence at all that 23 americans were targeted in this. >> if they are dead by a missile supplied why rush sharks russia is responsible. >> that's civilian airline shot down out of the air. >> he shouldn't order hamburgers median well. >> i agree with you. >> that's important thing in this. >> but that's it. >> 23 americans are dead. this becomes a huge story for the united states of america. kate, carville, thank you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. very tough covering breaking news on tv live these days. >> it would appear that the plane was shot down by a blast of wind from howard stern's ass. >> bernie goldberg on another embarrassing situation. then we take you to israel where military action on the ground has begun. we hope you stay tuned to those reports.

>> i can. pleas tell us what you saw there on the ground in grew grew -- ground in ukraine. >> i was looking out the window and i saw a projectile flying through the sky and it would appear that the plane was shot down by a blast of air from howard stern's ass. >> it would appear that the plane was shot down. can you tell us anything more from your military that may havesort of been coming from? >> boy, you are a dumb ass, aren't you? >> i'm sorry, sir? all right. we're going to take a quick break. >> painful to watch. joining us now from north carolina, purveyor of berne in order goldberg.com. mr. goldberg. that woman did not hear the guy clearically. didn't know what he was saying. >> how do you know? >> because nobody in their right mind would continue a phone call with someone that uttered that crude at o. crude.

>> you are being with way too kind. >> that's what i believe. >> you know the joke nobody pays attention nobody knows what's on msnbc. it turns out even the anchor woman doesn't pay attention to her own interview. >> that might be true. >> and, the producers, the directors, the people in the control room, nobody is paying attention. >> well, the horror of it is this. you can tell now by technology where people are calling from. so, whoever booked that guest, should be fired imimmediately. >> exactly. >> and nbc, it's another embarrassment or their cable arm. >> absolutely. >> but i do believe that that woman had no idea what the guy was saying but continued because she is inexperienced, shouldn't be in the role in the first place. but, the bigger picture is this. all of us -- we're doing live tv right now with goldberg and goldberg could say something insane. i mean, he could, it's possible. he has in the past. that's a joke, bernie.

that's a joke. >> i could say you are making sense so far. that would be insane. >> but, when you depend, when you go outside for a phone call, i mean, you have got to know how are talking to. >> look, there are a couple of rules. number one, you never put a total stranger on the air, let alone on live television on a big story like this without vetting the person. but that's exactly what they did. they didn't vet the person, and is he a total stranger. second, he said he is at the u.s. embassy. is he a sergeant at the embassy, in ukraine. okay? that's in kiev. and he says he looked out the window and saw the missile. the missile was fired between 4 and 500 miles. >> away? >> yeah. so, and that didn't occur to any of the geniuses there. the third thing is what you do is you say you are at the embassy, sergeant? okay. give us the phone number at

the embassy and we will call you back. look, you know that idiot anchorman that will ferrell made famous ron burgundy? i'm sorry this woman makes ron burgundy look like walter chron cite. >> she is inexperienced person shouldn't be in the chair. the whole network doesn't know. >> she was an accountant. she is not a journalist. >> that's right. you don't have non-journalists anchoring big events. >> the bigger question is. this all of the networks went live right away. wall-to-wall. and it was very little information. so you had to fill hours, bernie, hours. and you don't really know much. you know maybe five minutes, seven minutes, but then you have got to fill an hour. the reason they did it was because of the missing malaysian jetliner that got cable ratings earlier this year. that's why they did it and when you get into that where you are desperate for

ratings,. >> right. >> you are going to it make mistakes and that's what happened. >> well, if you are tieing that in to what this moron did on msnbc, they even put up the word exclusive. >> it was exclusive it didn't happen anywhere else, bernie. that's a very good point. that's a very good point. but, to your serious point, they were going after ratings. they had an exclusive. and they were going with it. vetting it. don't waste my time with investigating anything get it on the air. >> by the way. you said that the person who let this happen should be fired or whatever. >> yes. >> listen, there must be 10 people involved in this. >> then fire them all. start over again. >> i'm with you, bill. i am absolutely with you. >> all right. and i don't want that woman -- we're not, as

bernie said she is inexperienced, commentator. should never have been there. we are not holding up to any disparagement for her. it's the whole apparatus over there. i don't know what comcast is thinking, bernie. i really don't. because it's so. >> i want to make clear before we go. i am holding her up to disparage. >> you are a mean guy then. >> that's right. >> when we come right back. we will take to you israel where a ground war is unfolding tonight and we know who we are going to be talking to there. later, the latest breaking news on the jet missile story. new information coming in right back.

thanks for staying with us. i'm bill o'reilly in the unresoostled problem seeing want tonight. ground troops invaded palestinian territory in the gaza strip. the action was furious. we are hearing tracers, we are seeing tracers coming off the coast. i don't know if you can see this. but those are are tracer fire. [explosions] >> that's cannon fire from a naval vessel offshore. >> joining us on the phone david lee miller and gaza city john huddy who you just heard both are fox news correspondents. john begin with you. how high vent is the situation over there tonight?

>> it's violent there has been a lot of heavy artillery fired, bill. in fact, the shot that you are looking at, you see a building in the background where you see some light there was just two tremendous explosions, two heavy air strikes. we have seen a lot of cannon fire directed at that location. and we just heard a little while ago small arms fire. machine gunfire. which signals the fact that troops now are on the ground. this is day 11 here in gaza of operation protective edge. and from day one, bill, the objective for israel, the israeli military has been going after hamas infrastructure in particular tunnels where the hamas has used for the storage and transport of its rockets that have been fired now for the past 11 days at israel. he we are just seeing more explosions in the distance. by the way, you are looking north from gaza city northward into northern gaza and beyond that that's the israeli border there has been a tremendous amount of air strikes, cannon fire and small arms fire. >> david, do we have any

idea how many ground troops from israel have gone into palestinian territory? >> no. that's not the type of thing that they would tell you. i can let you know though that some 48,000 -- excuse me, 58,000 reservists have already been called up. and apparently the decision was made a few days ago to do this. the talk of a cease-fire in the last day was really just talk. it was a diversion. the cabinet here made a decision to go. in they have to get rid of these tunnels that john talked about. you know, today, bill, i actually went to the border and i saw what is left of it infiltration tunnel. 13 hamas militants apparently made it as far as israel, the israelis saw them and then they fled back into the tunnel. some of them may have been killed. it's really not clear. but that really affected a lot of people here. this was the first infiltration there has been since 2006 soon after this took place there was a

report of at least one other one. people here very much on edge. fearing that hamas might make it across the border. >> bombers, you have got all kinds of things that can happen. we might tell everybody there is a big wall that prevents terrorism on the ground from getting into israel, but the tunnels obviously go underneath. now, john, did you feel that you were in any danger there reporting the helmet on and i should tell the audience the reason we have the gays on the telephone in the middle of the night and they had been working since the morning so i want to give them a break and they can report from their rooms tonight because you can't stark. we have our cameras set up so you could see the explosions. did you feel any danger, john, that you were in. >> i don't know if you just saw that there was a pretty serious explosion. there has been some certain points throughout the time we have been here, bill there have been a lot of missile strikes in and

around the location so strong that the building shakes. special ops hit the ground here. tracer fire went over the head. we are in a safe location at this point. but any time things get that close, yeah. sure. yeah. >> you have been in these zones a long time. and you have been in the middle east a long time. anything different about this? >> i have seen this twice before. sort of like groundhog day with rockets. this is a country that has clearly been terrorized by what's taking place here. very quickly i will tell you something that i saw today that made a big impression on me. we were stuck in traffic. there was a terrible accident on the road. we learned that it was a fatality and then we further learned, bill, the reason someone died is there was a warning that there was going to be a rocket attack. this individual, as is he supposed to do, left his vehicle to seek some type of shelter, but in so doing he

so everybody is waiting to hear whether americans were killed on that plane. any update on that, jennifer? >> right now the state department is not commenting. what we do know the reason the death toll rose is that there were three infants on board. the state department is not commenting on reports that if there were 23 americans on board, bill. >> do you believe as was mentioned earlier by james rosen it might be because of next of kin notification. >> that likely has something to do with it because they released a list breaking down many other countries and it was clear that there were no americans in that list but 26 people unaccounted for. >> where did the report of 23 people carrying passports come from? >> i believe that came from the malaysian airlines itself. it was a report on the wires earlier today. >> okay. but you haven't been able to verify that from malaysian airlines or anything like that. >> no. >> we do understand tonight that the terrorists who fired the rocket from russia, because that's who makes these, what are are they buk missiles?

>> right now what a u.s. intelligence source is telling me is that they're looking at whether it's an sa 11, that's a buk missile or an s 300. 120 that fires these s 300s. the reason this is significant and the difference is significant. if it1rks-300s. if it is an s-300 and if they get evidence it was and thaer investigating that right now, only russia has the s-300. that would mean it would come from russian territory. that means there would be an address for this. and that's a real game changer here if it was actually fired from russian territory. >> okay. now, the final question i have for you, jennifer, is i understand that the terrorists will not allow people to go to the site of the debris, is that correct? >> that is correct, bill. and it's a huge problem for investigators because the separatists now have the black box. they're saying they're going to send that black box to moscow not to ukraine. so they're going to -- moscow's going to control the investigation. and u.s. intelligence officials that i've spoken to said if they can't get on to the ground

quickly and find the ball bearings and the parts of the missile that were used to bring down the plane, they may not be able to determine exactly the kind of missile that brought it down. >> well, the ukraine army should be on the way there now. now, earlier in the show, michael, you might have heard bret stevens say he agrees with me that putin, he's going to get away with it again. do you see it that way? >> unfortunately, i do under current leadership. you know, isolationism doesn't work. when you ignore a problem, it me tast sizes. that's what we saw in the ukraine. what really scares me, bill, is this isn't just about the ukraine and russia. thousands missiles have gone missing in libya because we've led from behind. in 2002 terrorists tried to shoot down an israeli charter flight in kenya. the israelis were able to defeat that. we're still too busy patting down old women and trying to

prevent people from bringing bottles of water on rather than address these new threats. >> all right. but did the u.s. government some credit. intel said -- told the faa that don't fly there. and the american authorities told, you know, their pilots american planes are not to fly there. they knew this danger existed, michael. >> but you know, bill, it's not just about this danger. just about a week and a half ago i flew to dubai, when i look at the map, i do this constantly on the airlines, we're flying over portions of iraq now controlled by the islamic state. the fact of the matter is eastern ukraine isn't the only danger zone in the world. and unfortunately these areas of chaos have been expanding as have the proliferation of these surface-to-air missiles. >> there's no doubt violent chaos in the world is expanding. jennifer, michael, thank you very much. back with tip of the day the latest on attorney general holder and irs investigation. there was a congressional hearing today. we couldn't cover it totally

tip of the day, attorney general eric holder in a moment. but first the mail. a 30-year veteran of the u.s. border patrol i was thrilled to see senator rubio say he would return to the migrant children to their home countries. he did not dance around your questions, o'reilly. george, massachusetts, marco rubio is a phony. he said he would be tough on illegal immigration, but supported amnesty. to be fair, george, you see the proposed bill as amnesty but others do not. kathy baker, college station, texas, bill, i don't understand why they can't build an effective fence, as you

suggested. we need something down here fast. sher ri in sugarland, texas. texans do not want a fence. i would rather have more border patrol and drones. that would not solve the problem. with all due respect there's no way you can speak for all texans. steven, apex, north carolina. the white house press secretary says the border is not secure because illegal aliens are surrendering -- is secure i should say. one must come through the border in order to surrender. that is the problem. exactly, steve, that is the problem. they have to come over before they surrender. and they shouldn't be able to even come over. serg sergio, new york city. o'reilly, so you and miller are making fun of soccer and its fans. you just lost millions of viewers. might want to relax, sir. just made a gentle comment about low scoring matches. i watched anyway. glenn craig, oak hills, california, if i wanted to spend 90 minutes watching guys unsuccessfully trying to score, i'd go to a singles bar.

i hope you didn't upset sergio, glenn. dr. joseph hall, gregory, south dakota, bill, i bought tickets to see you and miller in rapid city a week from tomorrow. i have no doubt you'll be on your game. we have plenty to talk about on july 25th, doctor, glad you guys are coming. fargo on the 26th. boston, philadelphia, west virginia, caesar's palace in vegas in the fall. sergeant billy route, south korea. i believe you said you were in "transformers 2." your scene with john turt tro was the third "transformers" mov movie. sometimes i get confused, but you're absolutely correct. i was in "transformers 3." and now four is out. five on the way. i'm sure there will be six. dave temple, las vegas, regarding jesus, don't you find it fascinating that for a guy who raised the dead and walked on water no first person writings are found on the man.

awe, a skeptic are you, dave. if you read "killing jesus" and you should, if you care, you'll find out multiple reports given to romans and authorities about the activities of jesus. that's why they feared him. and eventually killed him. he was harming no one, but his power was growing. most folks at time couldn't read or write and no printing press existed but plenty was written down. and we said it all in the book. tip of the day, justice department called to explain the investigation of the irs. deputy attorney general testified in front of a house committee today that there is indeed an investigation. but he wouldn't talk about it. >> your boss, the attorney general, is a bad witness. please don't be a bad witness. >> i'm trying not to be a bad witness. >> okay. >> mr. cole said little else. so tonight's tip is directed to attorney general eric holder. the credibility of your entire department and federal justice in general is now on the line, mr. attorney general. millions of americans do not believe you guys are doing a

competent investigation for political reasons. so we hope you will take the time to talk with me here on "the factor" and reassure americans that you are seeking justice for the conservative americans who are allegedly unlawfully targeted. i don't need you to lay out evidence in the case. i just want to ask general questions about how you see justice in america. factor tip of the day, we're trying hard to make that interview happen. keep you posted on our progress. that is it for us tonight. check out the fox news website. and we'd like you to spout off about the factor. oreilly@foxnews.com. t again, thanks for watching us tonight. miss megyn is next. we'll have full coverage throughout the night on the airliner story.

"hannity" coming up, megyn back at 11:00 and probably will be here until "fox and friends." i'm bill o'reilly, remember, the spin stops here. we're definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight, huge developments in two major events unfolding right now around the world. in the middle east new video coming in as israel, america's closest ally and one of the most dangerous parts of the world, launches a full-scale military operation against islamic terrorists in the gaza strip. and in eastern europe smoldering wreckage of a boeing 777 with possibly 23 americans and more than 200 others potentially on board. they were all murdered according to the reports. welcome to "the kelly file" everyone. i'm megyn kelly on a dark eching. we start with a question of who may have possibly killed those americans and what we are going to do about it. we have had a
