the factor begins right now. ♪ ♪ hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. bad day for america. that is the subject thfl evening's talking points memo. 21-year-old dylann roof shot nine people dead last night in a charleston, south carolina church. roof fled, was caught this morning in shelby, north carolina about 250 miles from charleston. he surrendered without a struggle. roof from lexington, south carolina dropped out of high school in the tenth grade and has been arrested at least twice once on a drug possession charge. apparently he is a long-time racist wearing antiblack patches on his clothing. those who know him say he often made inappropriate statements about african-americans. police report that roof entered the historic emanuel african-american methodist eepiscopal church about 8:15

last night. he watched the prayer meeting that was underway. shortly after 9:00, he pulled out a handgun murdered nine church goers before fleeing. reports are he reloaded the gun a number of time saying he had to kill the innocent black people. no question, that was an act of terror. no different than what isis and al qaeda does, targeting civilians because of who they are. in this case, skin color seems to be the motivator. this is not a tragedy. this is an execution. designed to terrorize people just like the boston marathon bombing and the mass murder at fort hood, texas. reaction came quickly. >> there is something particularly heart-breaking about a death in a place in which we seek solace and we seek peace. >> acts like this one have no place in our country and no place in a civilized society. >> i can't explain this.

i don't know what would make a young man at 21 get so sick and twisted to kill nine people in a church. >> we woke up today -- and the heart of soul of south korea was broken. >> now terror acts have become sadly common the world over as thousands of human beings are being slaughtered by insane fanatics. in south carolina the victims include the church's pastor 41-year-old clamenta pinckney who was aalso a pass pass. cynthia hurd a manager. bethel lance a member of the church for more than 30 years. susie jackson sanders, do you pain -- dupan all long

time church members. having just finished investigating hinckley who nearly assassin natalled ronald reagan. can i tell you that troubled people offensive act out against innocent strangers like roof hinckley extremism. expelled from the nazi party for being too violent that kind of pathology can never be stopped. it has been with us since man began walking the planet. pundits who can say they can prevent individual acts of terror are misleading you. president obama strayed into the theoretical today. >> at some point we as a country, will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. it doesn't happen in other places with this kind of

frequency. >> of course mass murder does happen in other advanced countries even those with all-out bans on firearms. the president used the frequency line to give him cover preventing random mass murder is impossible as is stopping the deranged acts of individual terrorists. the best we can do is slow them down. talking points believes president obama was misguided in his gun comments today but that is a debate for another time. tomorrow. on the factor we will present you with facts about crimes committed by guns. but, not tonight. because our focus should be on the individual victims and the country. not on policy. sadly, there are those who will condemn america as being violent place where racial animus is the rule, not the exception. that is a lie. this is a nation of 320 million people who have freedoms beyond those of most other countries. we have 50 individual states that regulate public safety because each state is different with a unique set

of circumstances. the u.s.a. is not finland or spain or even canada where central authority basically rules. here, citizens are are free to move from place to place where laws and standards of behavior differ, sometimes dramatically. wyoming is much different than massachusetts. and that diversity has made the u.s.a. strong but also a target of propaganda. the truth is most places in america are safe and secure. most citizens are decent, fair and law abiding. most police officers are honest and dedicated to helping people. most civil servants, teamers, firefighters, local officials, take lower pay to look out for the folks. but now an ignorant terrorist like dylann roof, a psychotic damages the image of america by a disgraceful act of violence. decent people mourns lives of the nine americans shot dead by roof and we also mourn for our country. evil is present in the united states.

continuing now with lead story, nine innocent people shot dead in south carolina church by apparent white racist. joining us from atlanta martin luther king iii. i wanted you to lead the program tonight because you are emotionally involved with this story. almost 41 years ago to the day your grandmother alberta king, was shot dead in a church in atlanta. your father preached at the emanuel church that was desecrated last night by roof and your mother also led demonstrations from that church. with all that in play, what is your feeling tonight?

>> well, i certainly first want to say my prayers and condolences are with the family members of all of these individuals that were tragically gunned down. and as you said, my first immediate response was oh my goodness, not again because my second thought went back to 1974 when my grandmother was gunned down. and if one cannot be safe in the sanctity of their places of worship what has our society come to? now, the reality unfortunately is, from time to time we have seen these tragic incidents. in 1963, four little girls lost their lives in a bombing church in birmingham alabama. and over the last few years over the years from time to time, there have been church bombings, individuals have been hurt. so, it is unfortunately not something new but what i would hope is we -- we must find a way to examine our

nation in a different way. at the end of the day what we saw today was black and white and young and old and maybe wealthy and poor people coming together in the state of south carolina. and it should not take a tragedy where people lose their lives for people to come together. we must find ways to come together. >> even if we do, mr. king, it's not going to stop the psychotics among us from doing what they do. your grandmother was killed by a black man. >> that's correct. >> who said "i want to kill christians." and slain your innocent grandmother, who was sitting at a church organ. so what i'm trying to get across tonight to everybody in my talking points and commentary is that this kind of a atrocity, a terrorist act should unite americans as 9/11 did. we should understand that evil is among us. there is no amount of

legislation that is going to stop that evil, all right? psychotic individuals are going to continue to do evil deeds no matter what the government does. however, you are right in the mind set of americans we have to stop this us against them mentality which we are seeing now i think more than we have seen in the past three or four decades. go ahead. >> well, i certainly think that's true. but the other thing is i also think that we have accepted or some have accepted a climate, in fact, of violence. what i mean by that if you look at video games our children play video games and seven out of 10 of them are violent. some of our movies are very violent and we want to see more and more violence. my point is if we are socialized around all of these things and certainly we have the right to be, but the question is should americans demand something else, a different kind of program. >> you made an interesting point because the initial report about this roof guy is that he was deeply involved with theseames on

the internet. but, as you know, we can't censor things here in america. these forms of entertainment are going to -- you are absolutely right, there is no push back on it. there is no saying maybe that's not a good thing to devote your leisure time to violent pursuits even if they are fantasy. maybe that's not a good thing to deride people of the opposite color of another color because that's done all the time. and both sides do it. but we don't have any peer pressure, it doesn't seem to me to stop it against it. you're absolutely right we accept it far too easily. >> yes well, what i was essentially saying is because we have accepted this culture of violence, it would be wonderful if we learned and accepted and created a culture of nonviolence. that -- now certainly many americans operate that way every day. but, if we as a society said we were committed we as a nation want to create the

climate, my dad called it and my mom the beloved community. we are nowhere near there but i believe one day we can get there. >> you know, it's a theoretical play you are making tonight. but it's a worthy one. it is something that people should say look, you know what? even if this stuff isn't damaging, the games and all of that, we really should keep an eye on it. and, you know, these snuff movies and all of this store temperature -- torture stuff. i have said for years it's desensitizing us. a troubled psychotic man like roof said -- look, he basically mitted suicide mr. king. that's what he did. he wanted to take as many people as he could with him. he is a sick guy. but i don't want it to be politicized. you are absolutely right. we should try to change our mind set in america. thank you. >> thank you. >> directly ahead, we will hear from montel williams and bernie goldberg. also from geraldo who is in charleston reporting this

impact segment tonight. initial reaction from many politicians does not focus on the terroristic aspect of murder but rather on partisan policy. >> nine people, women and men, cut down at prayer. murdered in a house of god. we have to be honest. we have to face hard truths about race, violence, guns, and division. >> joining us now from las vegas, montel williams. you know, mrs. clinton, i'm sure she meant well, but it just doesn't -- it's the

wrong time for that, i think. what say you? >> well, you know, i'm going to tell you something bill, one of the things i was listening to your program earlier, we have to remember back in 1963 when that church was blown up in birminghamingham alabama those four little girls dying galvanized the nation, black, white everyone came together to say we need to end this violence. here is what we have to do. yes, i don't know what ms. clinton is talking about but lead me tell you. this you said we can't stop someone like this. we can especially a young person like this. two weeks ago we stopped a young man alli amen he was upline line, he was radicalized trying to recruit people to go overseas to isis. we need to look at this young man roof as if he is a radicalized separatist and apply the same treatment to him and watch what he does online. >> there is a difference. >> oh, but it's not. he is getting ready to hurt this democracy the same way. >> but there is a

difference. if you are in contact with a terror group overseas, or campaigning for them in any way, you can get a court warrant like that. okay? and then the fbi can go in and listen or whatever law enforcement agency discovers this. dylann roof, if he says i don't like montel williams because is he black you can't get a court order to look at his emails or his texts. you can't get anything like that. >> that's a local beef. >> remember, he also was he removed from a nazi party because he demonstrated too much violent tendencies. >> no, no, that was john hinckley. i was making the comparison and i'm glad you brought it up. the killer in connecticut. the killer in denver in the movie theater inkly and this guy roof they are all the same person, psychotic sociopaths losers, okay, who are lashing out and

trying to you know whatever disease they have in their mind turns violent. you can't stop them, all right? you can monitor as best you can. but society can't stop that kind of madness. go. >> but i believe that you can if you monitor them the same way right now. we just stopped a slew of kids that are trying to run out of the united states to go over to fight isis. >> it's a different thing though. you would have to change the surveillance laws and you just saw what happened with the nsa. >> don't you think that maybe right now if we are going to see and remember, bill, this young man roof, you are right, is he a lone wolf, but he has enough information online to recruit more and more. >> absolutely. the fbi is all over that now. he crossed state lines. they are all over it get his stuff and find out if there were other crazy guys that were either encouraging him or maybe he had some help. who knows. >> correct. >> this is what i am trying to get at. the politicians make it a

political issue. thereby, dividing the country further. you know. and we are going to get into this tomorrow. so you have got the left that wants no guns. the right says look, i need to protect my family and then boom, you have got more. what they should do they being the people in power is say, you know what? this stuff has got to unite us against any kind of division based on this. skin color. all right? you and i, how long have we known each other? like 30 years? okay. i mean we treat each other like people, all right? that's what -- that's the message everybody in this country has got to get. go. >> and we have to understand this -- you are actually right. this is not a gun issue. let's get this clear. i am 100% supporter of the second amendment. no ifs ands, or buts. even as a supreme supreme supporter of the second amendment i understand that i a registered gun owner have a responsibility to make sure there are laws in place to

stop nuts like this. >> absolutely. >> and just like you and i can sit down in a room and for two and a half hours talk back and forth until we came up and wrote an agreement of what we are going to say about this, we, who are gun owners need to stop not having a conversation. >> i agree with that we're going to do that tomorrow. the larger point is that you and i can sit in a room for two and a half hours and skin color never comes up. right? >> correct. >> we respect each other for who we are. and that's the message. see, that's it. that we have to make these bigots pariahs and everywhere they are they have to be outcast and it's unacceptable. >> but bill, isn't this so great because listen, in the last week and a half, have you said these words this way on your show? >> no. this is a different story. and has to be positioned in a different way. >> correct. it's so good that right now all of your viewers who have seen you speak out on so many other issues hear you clearly just like they hear us. it's time for us as americans to say, you know,

just like the. >> enough with the skin colored nonsense. >> stop it. >> yes. >> enough with the skin colored nonsense. you are on your way to europe to try to get a marine freed. the iranians are holding him. and we wish you the best with that we don't want to give away what you are going to do or all of that. but i want everybody to know that you are trying to get the marine out and then you will report back next week on how you that works. >> go to give forward slash amir. give you information what we are doing. guess what. this is one of these people who is a guy who is an iranian a a marine corps uniform just like every going to be out there. give us the web site one more time slowly. >> give forward/free amir. >> all right montel. talk to you soon. thanks for helping us out tonight. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. we will continue our analysis of the terrorism in

south carolina with bernie goldberg and geraldo who is on the ground in charleston this evening. we hope you stay tuned to those reports. before i had the shooting, burning, pins-and-needles of diabetic nerve pain, these feet... ...served my country... ...carried the weight of a family... ...and walked a daughter down the aisle. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. nerve damage from diabetes causes diabetic nerve pain. lyrica is fda-approved to treat this pain. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new, or worsening depression or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. now i have less diabetic nerve pain.

pinckney. >> he was somebody who was called to the ministry when he was only years of age. he was ordained when he was 18. he became a member of the south carolina general assembly when he was 23. you met him in 1998 when he was still a house member and then later he got elected to the senate. he was one of the kindest gentlest people you will ever meet. he spoke with a booming voice. huge presence but never said an angry word. every time he spoke he took a deep breath to make sure he was saying the right thing. simply a great guy. the thought of him sitting in that church last night with someone pointing a gun at him to most of us is unfathomable. the republican attorney general in south carolina called me at is 1:30 in the morning. other republican members of the general assembly reached out. nobody could imagine the grief that that family is going through and grief that constituents and parishioners going through. >> a wifen widow now and two young children, correct? >> two young children and the reports that i'm hearing

is whether one of the children was in the church office hiding when they heard the gunshots knowing their father was out there being gunned down. again, the most horrific thing you can imagine. >> it is. and the other eight who were gunned down have similar stories by all accounts, they are all good people on a bible study on a wednesday night. it's, as you said, unfathomable. earlier today, this is why i wanted to get you on. they are the victims. you said something that bothered me a little bit. and rather than attacking you, which i don't want to do, i want to play the cut. >> it's okay. i'm used to it. go ahead. >> i don't do that kind of stuff. i want to hear, okay? you were describing what the mind set in your opinion was of this psychotic dylann roof, roll the tape. >> he did so based on some ill gotten belief on some wrong belief that it's okay to do that. he hears that because he watches the news and he watches things like fox news where they talk about things

that they call news but they are really not. they use that coded language, they use hate speech. they talk about the president as if he is not the president. >> do you want to -- are you going to stand by that? i mean, it's disturbing. i know you are upset and i know it's an emotional day. >> no, it is disturbing but it is disturbing to most african-americans to watch as fox news continues to cover stories as as to whether the president is truly the president. >> i don't know anybody on this net work who does that. no one. and i see everything here. >> you are right. after six years it has finally stopped. >> in your opinion that's happening but i don't believe that's reality and you would have to show me where it is. now, you say that this roof kid watches fox news. do you know what he he watches fox news? >> no, what i said is. >> no, you said he watches fox news. >> i didn't say that he watched fox news. i said, again things like fox news. and so, again the rhetoric that he spoke on that -- in the church when he talked

about. >> you are equating what dylan roof did in our church to our commentary here. >> people raping white women, about black people raping white women he didn't make it up. he didn't generate that out of the sky. people watching things, that they think are news but are not. >> you think that fox news justifies, mr. rutherford, let me get the question out. are you going to stabbed there tonight and say that fox news justifies brutal crimes against black americans? is that what you are going to do? >> no. that's you saying that and you are again inflaming the rhetoric. you are exactly what i'm talking about. >> you just said it. >> you said it. >> people watching the news that they think are news but it is not. news stories like whether the president is a citizen of the united states, that's not news. that's fallacy. that was carried on your network on fox news for years. >> it was carried on every network but it wasn'ten

dorised by any responsible person. >> any person born to a u.s. citizen woman would be a u.s. citizen child. >> you know -- >> -- period. >> i have got to say i think senator pinckney, i know you are a good friend of his and i know you are upset but i don't think he would have embraced that kind of rhetoric today sir. i really don't. >> we appreciate you coming on. >> when we come right back, bernie goldberg on taking the right tone in covering horrifying stories like the murders in south carolina. are we on the right track tonight? bernie is next. save big on great father's day gifts at bass pro shops. like savings of 60% on rat-l-trap hard baits. and get an instant gift card with purchase of a go pro hero 4 video camera. plus free catch and release ponds and giveaways this weekend.

thanks for staying with us i'm bill o'reilly. in the weekdays with bernie segment tonight. let's bring the purveyor of bernard goldberg.com who joins us from north carolina. it's a difficult program tonight, particularly the last interview with mr. rutherford. do you think i'm handling it correctly? >> i would say the tone of the program so far has been reasonable smart and mostly and this is important, not not sensational. so, i think that those are all good things. you had martin luther king iii on who said, and unfortunately he was correct, he said murders like this aren't new.

but there is a certain kind coverage, bill that isn't new either there are people in the media some people in the media, who will use an opportunity of innocent people being killed in a church as an opportunity to bash conservative media. and it has a long, detestable history. after oklahoma city bombing folks in the media blamed rush limbaugh and talk media after the arizona the "new york times," without a shred of evidence, said that this insane lunatic, who did the killings was influenced by right wing rhetoric are. then you had a salon of prominent online liberal magazine. they said our fox news and the right wing media encouraging violence. and then the guest you had on right before he made those same ridiculous,

ridiculous slanderous comments on cnn and the anchor, who is usually a good guy and he looked troubled to his credit. the anchorman looked troubled when he blamed things like fox for what happened today. he let it go. he didn't challenge it. there are people in the media, bill, who can't help themselves. they will not let an opportunity, a crisis, they will not let a crisis go to waste. even when the crisis involves nine innocent people being killed in a church. i'm not blaming cnn for that but i am blaming salon and others on the left who their first reaction their gut reaction is always to blame right wing rhetoric for things, without any evidence to support it. >> now the politicians though today on the left, you didn't hear too many of the republicans people get involved with policy.

but you did hear president obama and hillary clinton say the guns, the guns, the guns, the guns, the guns. and tomorrow we will get into that in a pretty interesting way because we are investigating all of these gun atrocityies i will tell you how to stop them. it's not hard to stop a gun deal on gun crimes in america. i thought it was inappropriate for the president and mrs. clinton to bring that up today because they know there is two sides to this story. >> well, the appropriateness aside, you can deal with that tomorrow. the appropriateness aside i would be in favor of the toughest gun control laws when they involve lunatics. i don't want lunatics having guns. the toughest constitutional laws i would support. but what the president didn't say when he brought this up today is how do you stop a father, a dopey father from giving his idiot racist son a gun on his

21st birthday that he uses to kill nine people? in connecticut it was the mother's gun. the mother's gun. so if you could tell me not you tonight but the president or hillary clinton could tell me what law they think could stop stupid parents from doing stupid things that lead to mass murder, i'm all ears. >> all right. i've got one question for you. do you feel and i discussed this with mr. king and montel williams, i think both sides black and white in america that disparaging others of the different color, is way too acceptable these days. way too acceptable that both sides do it and now it's like it's okay to do it. if you do it the media you get fired immediately. you can't. in these texting and all of

this garbage i mean younger people particularly using these terrible words to define others of a different race. and this seems to be okay now i wouldn't have had that impression to be honest with you. i would think that young people. i remember to saying two young people, producers i worked with, not that long ago, actually, hbo producers, i said let's say there were 10 people over there, 10 businessmen all wearing suits and ties but only one of them was black could you say hey i'm talking about the black guy. they look like i just called him the "n" word. i mean. >> but that's in business. that's in business. i'm talking social now. >> there is a sensitivity about race, i think sensitivity is a good thing. >> in corporate yes. but not out among the kids. they are doing this stuff. and they are hearing this and they are kind of mimicking this roof and i have got to go. he was wearing apartheid

patches on his clothing. i mean, come on. >> yes yes. but you have got to figure his friends in the circle he was involved in are dopes just like he is. >> well -- >> -- i don't think that's typical. >> there is the problem. there are too many dopes. >> yeah. >> bernie, thank you. geraldo on deck. he is on the scene in south carolina. then the tip of the day how to confront evil. ahead. i am totally blind. and sometimes i struggle to sleep at night, and stay awake during the day. this is called non-24. learn more by calling 844-824-2424. or visit your24info.com. automotive innovation starts... right here. with a control pad that can read your handwriting,

back of the book segment tonight, let's go to charleston, south carolina grieving this evening. very nice town victimized by a domestic terrorists. geraldo is on the scene. what is the headline down there tonight? >> i would make the headline racist judas uncull

indicates inculcates himself with faith pretending to care about their prayer, entering their church only to cut them down. you know bill, first it reminded me of the four little girls in 1963 in birmingham, alabama, who were blown to smithereens. but i think that this may sound curious to some of our viewers right now. but what it reminds me of now, thinking about it is charles manson. remember, charles manson also directed the massacre of about the same number of people because he wanted ignite a race war helter skelter and all the rest of that. i think that this racist this racist, this psychopath this sociopath this mass killer is like a man son in that sense. apprehended up in north carolina. it is the kind of crime that

is unfortunately relatively common in the great span of american history. i lamented the one difference between here and baltimore, bill. here and charleston, south carolina. everybody white and black is on the same page. mourning together and grief stricken together. they will get through this together. >> this kind of thing happens all over the world. many times we don't hear about it places like china and russia you don't have a free media to report on it. this has happened in australia. it's happened in norway. it's a bunch of malarky to say this is an american problem. it isn't. what is an american problem though is a continuing division along racial lines which we had not made any progress on in the last 10 or 15 years. in fact, i think we are sliding back. >> i believe that the unresolved race divide in this country is the biggest

domestic issue we have. and i lament that the president of the united states has not made it more of his mission to heal the divide. more of his mission to heal the divide. but this particular community, as lovely as it is is also a place that has a very troubled racial history. as you remember bill this is the scene in the 1820s of a slave revolt where the captured slaves were executed i think it was 37 of them on that same sacred ground where the mother emanuel ame church stands today. you have this history of church black church violence and then you have this this horrible horrible massacre and as he is shooting as survivor recounted to a relative as he is shooting and say i am doing this because you are raping our women and taking control of our country. this is you know to call him

sick belittles the savagery the manipulation the psychotic nature of this horrible crime, bill. >> when you heard the representative say that this kid was ignited by fox news which he did, and it's a tragedy that he said that without knowing any of the facts, we don't know what this kid -- we know he's a racist. he was wearing apartheid stuff on his clothing. we know his father must have known that the kid was a racist and then he gives the kid a gun. i mean you know that's inexapplicable. when you hear people piloting the situation like representative rutherford did to punish people with whom he disagrees that's a sad fact and that also widens the racial divide in this country. >> reporter: first, let me

comment on your labelling this a terrorist act. i totally agree with that characterization. this perpetrator is as much as a terrorist as the hood wearing kkk. he's a terrorist. i grant you that. as to the elected official who made that really a thoughtless comment about fox news, doesn't he see he generalizes in the same way people who smear him or what he represents his ideology his race indeed that he's being as intellectually dishonest as the people who attack him? i lament that. i saw it so often in baltimore. what the hell is that about? is that a thoughtful statement? is that to accuse a news organization made up of people with all different beliefs all different walks of life of that kind of hateful incitement to mass murder in a church? shame on him.

>> it is shame on him. the only thing he's distraught because his friend was killed and i gave him an out. i gave him an out to come on and i probably should not have said that but i was distraught about the senator's death. that's why i put him on taxpayer. he doubled down on it. the haters all right, he's doing the same thing. he's doing exactly the same thing that the people that hate blacks are doing. last word. >> reporter: i lament every time either me personally or this fine news organization becomes the news and in this case so grossly unfairly. let's keep our eye on the story, a racist sociopath styling himself in the manner of the skin heads and kkk has perpetrate ad terrible crime against the most innocent nine people you can imagine. >> geraldo, factor tip of the day, how to confront this is good,

mom. "good"? (chuckles) it's delicious! and this new kibble blend is so healthy. thank you. no, nancy, thank you. kibbles 'n bits. because every bit matters. ugh! heartburn! did someone say burn? try alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. they work fast and don't taste chalky. mmm...amazing. thank you. alka-seltzer heartburn reliefchews. enjoy the relief.

sociopath spipt >> tip of the daikon fronting evil in a moment. bill enjoyed your talking points about author error of the national debt but you did not mention that under president obama the debt has risen almost as much as under all the other presidents combined. true. but the president's people say that's because mr. obama headed off a depression with all the stimulus spending he had to do it. not worth debating because all of that sim possible to prove one way or another. the key point is if america does not stop adding debt the economy will collapse. rick worcester, massachusetts. o'reilly after the crash in 2008 you apologized to us for not watching the economy closer. you've done that with the talking points. i appreciate you tracking that. we're proud of our record looking out for the folks by reporting the truth even if it upsets the establishment.

dr. joe, palm city florida, we are watching the factor in the philippines on vacation. thanks for bringing the usa to those of us abroad. you're welcome. factor is seen in more than 100 countries around the world. bill how hard was it for you to lose your long island accent? still have it on occasion. sometimes i sound like john travolta on "saturday night fever." wasn't hard to round off the rs. i lived in dallas and denver. gloria middleburg pennsylvania my grandson is 9 years old and headed to fourth grade. he's an exceptional reader. is hitler's last day an appropriate book for him? the concentration stuff is intense. you should speak to him about that. it's the best selling nonfiction children's book in the usa. rosemary bill i'm the

happiest. will be seeing you and miller at the hard rock hotel next move to. glad you're coming. tickets going fast. tickets are a great father's day gift. and finally tonight the factor tip of the day. confronting evil. in my life i've seen it up close and it's always one settling just like what happened today out of charleston. evil comes in many forms. the internet, the latest carrier and that's why i issue so many warnings about the net. individual evil like the man in charleston can be kept well hidden. all much us know folks we thought were good folks that turn out to be destructive. when you see evil be very cautious but don't run away. if you can alert the authorities, the cops whatever is in context, but, again, involved. don't look the other way. as edmond burke said the only

thing for triumph of evil is for good men and women to do nothing. that's what happened in germany. that's what happened in japan. and could it happen in america. and that's the factor tip of the day. that is it for us tonight. please check out the fox news website and spout off. plenty of talk about tonight. o'reilly @foxnews.com. name a town if you wish to opine. word of the day, do not be a jackanapes when writing to the factor. again thanks for watching the factor. friday's factor has a "special report" on the gun situation in america. so it's friday. everybody is out. put your little recorder on there because this is going to be hot. also we'll talk about pope francis and the global warming

controversy. big show. the factor on friday. i am bill o'reilly. please always remember that the spin stops here. because we are definitely looking out for you. breaking tonight a mass murderer suspect in custody and back in south carolina after being captured 300 miles away and now a search for answers are under way following a devastating attack at a historical church that left nine people dead. welcome to "the kelly file." i'm megyn kelly. it was just about this time last night when a 21-year-old man opened fire inside the emanu ale african e african episcopal church. a group was there to study the
