up next, "the o'reilly factor." good night from cleveland and don will be back to speak later. don't miss that. he wants to make it 31 million. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> hi, i'm bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. as we continue our coverage of the republican convention in cleveland, ohio, you are looking at live pictures of the arena floor where less than one hour ago trump jr. and the new york delegates put his father over the top for the nomination. >> and it is my honor to be able to throw donald trump over the top in the delegate count tonight with 89 delegates. and another six for john kasich. congratulations, dad, we love you. [cheers and applause]

>> so against all odds, donald trump is now one person away from being president of the united states. to use the comment vernacular we have an awesome program for you tonight including jesse watters talking politics at the rock and roll hall of fame. but we begin with the talking points memo. how donald trump can indeed win the presidency. take a look at the electoral college map for 2012 when barack obama won 332 electoral votes, mitt romney 206. 270 are need to do get the big job. in order to defeat hillary clinton, trump would have to win all the states romney won. and add at least three more large states. that will not be easy because west of the mississippi trump does not play as well as he does in the east. so states like arizona and utah, which romney easily carried, may be competitive this time around. writing in the "wall street journal" today john bray bendbender a republican strategist says trump's presidential hopes hinge on

winning in ohio, pennsylvania, and florida. according to recent polls all those states are in play. trump could win them. if donald trump does prevail in ohio, pennsylvania, and florida, and can fight off hillary clinton west of the mississippi, he will be president. if mr. trump wins new york, which he thinks he can do, he will take up residence on pennsylvania avenue. however, new york very tough state for republicans with so many minority voters. the trump card, pardon the pun, is anxiety. most americans not happy with the direction their country has taken. in fact in a recent associated press poll 79% of americans say they are frustrated with the u.s.a. for various reasons. if anxiety grows, and it well could with terror attacks, police assassinations, very shaky economy trump will get stronger and capitalize on the disebb chantment that's because hillary clinton is a conventional candidate. pretty much to carrying on president obama's policies. other recent polling has a race tie between trump and clinton. as talking points has pointed out, these polls

mean little at this point. the doe baits begin in september and they will mean everything. but donald trump does have a chance, a real chance to become president. and that's the memo. now for the top story, reaction. joining us from cleveland. dr. larry sabato, director of the university of virginia senator for politics. and in washington, the aforementioned john braybender a republican strategist did. i capture your column today? >> absolutely. did you donald trump is not your quintessential republican nominee. the way for him to get to the white house is not to follow the game plan we have in the past. i think the real target for him are the suns and daughters of the reagan democrats and they have happen to reside in the rust belts in states like ohio and pennsylvania. if he can win those states and add florida, is he president of the united states. and i think he can do it. >> you think he can but you are a republican. so i mean -- but that's probably not fair but it's almost a color thing now,

doctor. because in the recent polling, despite mr. trump saying is he doing well among african-americans, he had no votes in pennsylvania and ohio. no black votes, zero. okay. so, he has got to turn out a massive amount of white voters in working class white voters in those states, correct? >> that's absolutely true. and that's why as john argues, his best route to victory is really through the rust belt. i don't really see another one. i disagree with john about florida. i agree with him about ohio and pennsylvania and i would say his best route to victory is ohio plus pennsylvania plus michigan, plus wisconsin. if he carries those four plus all the romney states, including north carolina, which is tough, he gets exactly 270 votes. >> okay. but wisconsin i can't see it maybe i'm wrong. michigan is interesting. michigan is an interesting place. but florida, you know, trump did very well in the primary

down there wiping out marco rubio a hometown guy. he is a florida resident, trump, part time. he has got a good organization based on the governor of florida. you think he can win there, mr. braybender, correct? >> absolutely. if i was hillary clinton who would scare me in the polls. the longer trump can go where he starts to become acceptable to more people it becomes a real problem for her. florida right now, most of the polls are within the that gin of error. >> why do you think he can't win down there, doctor, in florida? >> well, in fact, the polling average in florida favors clinton by several percentage points. and the balance, the demographic balance in florida has actually changed considerably just over four years. you noted, bill, minority voters and that's including african-americans, hispanic americans, asian americans, you put all minority voters together, and hillary clinton is going to get

about 80 to 58%. donald trump will be lucky if he hits 20 with all of those minority groups. well, you look at florida, the demographics of florida, headed much more minority, i think it helps hillary clinton considerably. >> how has it changed in four years though? who has gone to florida? why is it different than it was in 2012? >> you have loads of puerto ricans who have moved from puerto rico to various places in florida. they are, of course, already u.s. citizens. and i understand some major registration campaigns have been held in florida to make sure they're ready to vote in november. they are overwhelmingly democratic. >> isn't it true, mr. brabender and you cited this that the republicans have also had a surge in voter registration in florida, right? >> a huge surge. not only there in places like pennsylvania a lot of democrats have switched to republican. and the reason is donald trump. the other thing that i'm truly convinced of is that there is a secret or a closet donald trump vote. we see that in a lot of

states where he overperformed came primary day. i think you may very well see the same thing on general election day. >> so it comes down to and boy the way, doctor, dunk that trump can hold utah and arizona real fast out there in the west? >> utah, definitely. it's just too heavily republican. arizona, i would lean it to him but i think he has got a lot of work to could there to nail it down. >> nevada though which went for nevada, that's in play now isn't it, mr. brabender? >> yeah iowa is in play, new hampshire, colorado potentially, minnesota there still is a lot of other places to pick up. but the bottom line is if donald trump can't do well in the rust belted, i just think it's too big of a lift. >> i think florida is going to see the most action. that's a big state. a lot of electoral votes. trump is convinced can he take it. gentlemen, very interesting. we appreciate it very much. and it is shortly after 8:00 p.m. in cleveland as donald trump has been the republican nominee now for

approximately an hour. the reason that trump secured the nomination in the first place is that millions of americans are frightened, disenchanted, disgusted with what has happened to the u.s.a. over the past few years. again, it is the anxiety factor that is propelling donald trump. joining us now from cleveland lisa booth and juan williams. do you disagree with that, juan? >> no, bill. you're exactly right. the polls are very clear about the high level of anxiety. people saying the country is headed in the wrong direction. where i would disagree with your analysis is that you have people like trump ohio think are perpetrating lies and distortions to stir that fear and anxiety so they can politically exploit it to their advantage. >> i don't know if you have spread and those are your words lies and distortions when you have 11 police officers gunned down this month alone and you have the nice attack. >> bill, hold on, you know if you look at the murder rate in this country, you look at the crime rate in this country, it's better today than it was in the 1950s. you know if you look at

terrorism. >> pardon the phraseology is a targeted situation when we're seeing assassinations of police officers by domestic terrorists. >> we have at the moment but that is not mean you're unsafe or i'm unsafe. >> i'm not meaning to hype it up. it's there. >> right. >> lisa, with 79% of americans disenchanted and that includes a lot of left-wing americans who don't think that we are progressive enough. we have to add that okay. why does hillary clinton think that she can win running on an i'm going to do pretty much what barack obama has done? it just doesn't make any sense if 79% are disenchanted, does it? >> it doesn't make any sense. new look at the states mentioned earlier florida, ohio and pennsylvania. 70% of americans say the system is broken and they want radical change. you see the unrest in the country whether it's racial divisions or seeing the world burn with isis and americans feeling very

unsettled there is a reason that donald trump is saying set law enforcement candidate. it addresses those concerns of unrest in both the country and abroad. it also cuts to the heart of the lawless in of hillary clinton with her email server and private email. >> i wonder if there is enough white voters though, juan. pause it is, i think that's an accurate stat that 80% of minorities will vote for hillary clinton, 20% for trump. it's a turnout situation as we all know. but, there are a lot of white americans who feel aggrieved and feel that their country is not what it used to be and many, many ways, shapes and forms. that's what donald trump is tapping into in pennsylvania and michigan and those so-called rust belted states. but, again, if you were advising hillary clinton, would you advise her to run on barack obama's record with such a high anxiety rate in this country? would you do that? >> yeah. i would say, look, you say to people let's look at the facts. let's look at the fact that we have unemployment down

now below 5%. >> you try to persuade them out of their anxiety? >> yes, because i think you say to people don't buy the hype. wait a second. let's look at the fact that wages are rising right now for the last two years. >> middle class has been completely left behind. >> no. >> yes, they have. the rich have gotten richer and middle class has been left behind by this economy. completely stagnant. middle class from across the country have not seen pay increases. they are feeling this economic pain and that is something that donald trump is speaking to. you look at states like indiana, michigan, west virginia, you name it and majority of americans are actually buying in to the message that donald trump is selling regarding trade. that these bad trade deals are leaving americans behind. that is the very reason why hillary clinton. >> juan. >> okay. >> look, what you are saying then is you're advising hillary clinton, if you were her advisor, all right, to try to persuade people that

they're not feeling anxious so they shouldn't feel anxious. >> no, no, no, no. >> when they do. >> no. >> i have a headache, wait a minute. you can't say that. >> juan, you are telling me i really don't have a headache and making up the headache and if i would just look at juan's stats i wouldn't have it? >> no, no. you must be the guy that wrote that speech for melania trump. >> oh, come on. what i'm trying to say bill o'reilly, she says you are feeling fear and anxiety. people are trying to stir you up to take advantage of that. >> they don't have to stir them up. >> given what you said about minority voters. >> yeah. >> someone like trump is going to lead to more racial division and more anxiety. not giving you any real solution for economic problem. >> you can say anything you want and both candidates will but the fact remains when people feel anxious, when they feel anxious as the associated press, believe me, no conservative

bastion, okay as they have chronicled, you cannot talk them out of feeling anxious unless do you a therapy session and a lot of folks i don't know can handle that. >> reassure people that you know what you are doing and that you can lead them to a better future. >> you can assure but i don't know if the fbi helped all of that go ahead, lisa. >> if you want to talk about which candidate is trying to play up the fears of americans, look at what hillary clinton is doing specifically regarding black lives matter. there is no candidate who panders more to the fears of americans than hillary clinton does. so, please, spare me, juan. it's not make sense. >> wait a minute. >> i don't want it to be a partisan discussion. let's go to juan, you know, attacking me and ad hominem way saying i wrote melania trump's speech last night. this is a small ball but it's worth noting, all right. here's what mrs. trump said as opposed to what mrs. obama said. roll it. >> my parents impressed on me the value that you work

hard for what you want in life. that your work is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. >> barack and i were raised with some of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. that your word is your bond, that you too what you say you're going to do. that you treat people with dignity and respect. >> all right, lisa, now, whoever wrote melania trump's speech and someone was hired to write it, should be fired. you can't crib like that. it's insane to think you could have gotten away with it. it wasn't melania trump's fault by the way because she is not a professional. she probably looked at the speech, who could know, i didn't even know until it was pointed out. so wouldn't you say the trump campaign should say yes, the speech writer screwed up, they're fired. we got new speech writers, right? that's the way to handle it,

is it not? >> yes. they screwed up here. this not good for the trump campaign. it's going to be a two-day story not good for the trump campaign. plays into clinton's narrative that donald trump is not prepared to be president. especially on a day he should be thawing about drugs. >> always reasonable. >> no you're not. i heard a bunch of excuses no excuse for plargism. it's not melania trump's fault. juan, i will give you the last words god help me, go. >> i think it's evidence of this organization, lack of strong evidence of the trump campaign being in control. and it's not just on melania trump who by the way says she wrote the speech, bill, so i don't know what's going on there. where is the state organization? where is the ads against hillary clinton? >> stop with the partisan stuff. >> we got it going. >> juan, you are going to sit there and tell me. >> no, that wasn't partisan i'm just saying political

professionals worry about that campaign. >> are you going to sit there and tell me that you think melania trump wrote that speech. >> no. but she said it. we heard people like paul man for come out today, it's the ridiculous and liberals tacking, i think that's nuts. >> birth is more concerned about this than is he with hillary clinton emails and emails server. >> aall i want to do is be fair when you take a peach and pen contributed part the of it. she did not right it from scratch we agree on that. >> we agree. >> when we come right back, do you, the alert american citizen believe the entertainment industry drives antipolice violence? do you believe that? very provocative report next. you do all this research on a perfect car,

debate over antipolice rhetoric is endless. police on high alert because 11 law enforcement officers have been rah sass sin nateed just this month. latest in kansas shot dead in the line of duty. situation across the country very intense. now in 1988, a rap group called nwa put out a record that actually threatened the police ♪ hell a -- take out a cop or two they can't cope with me. some mothers [bleep] feeling that mad with poo

yesterday, one of the rappers involved with that piece of garbage ice cube was confronted about the situation. >> [bleep] police is legendary song. have you thought about maybe not performing it anymore? >> nah. >> you will continue to form it? >> yeah. >> what is your like mind set behind that? like has anyone came up to you and pressured you to do that? >> pressured me to do what? >> to stop performing [bleep] the police. >> no. nobody said nothing to me. i ain't going to change nothing i do. not me because i ain't doing nothing wrong. >> joining us from cleveland greg gutfeld and new york city bernard mcguirk. >> this guy ice cube is an actor, well known guy, has a lot of money back in 1988

these guys were trying to establish themselves. not excuse. vile piece of work. now after everything happened still unrepentant. what does that say to you. >> first thing is hating cops is a stepping stone to a great career ice cube ended up making millions playing a police officer in ride along. if you look at ice tea who wrote cop killer in his band body count now in 16th year in law and order playing police detective. as much as they hate cops, they don't hate playing cops because they make millions. and another point to make is that i don't think rap stars when their beach side mansions get broken into they call black lives matter. >> do you believe that a guy like ice cube, mcguirk, wants police officers to be harmed? i mean he is obviously not going to stop using this

material said quite clearly i'm not doing anything wrong. by the way it is beyond disgusting that won't consider stopping it in the wake of all of this stuff. he is not a bad guy. surprise a lot of people to hear this. if i made shift the blame, when you have a guy like ice cube who is listening to the president of the united states democratic nominee maybe going to believe that kind of stuff. >> no. that was way before though. when you say is he a nice guy, mcguirk, how do you know? >> i have seen them in interviews all over the years. family man, married to the same woman for 30 years. is he really not a bad guy. but, still, this is disgusting. no excuse for this. maybe he missed a study from the black harvard professor or the "new york times" that says there is no epidemic of cops shooting black guys. >> i don't think that would matter. i just think that there is something very disturbing and not only ice cube, it's

the record labor that puts it out. it's the radio stations that play it. it's that whole industry. >> bill, it's also the customer. i bought that album straight out of compton. live that record. i'm a whiteidded majority of purchasers were white boys like me. >> what were you thinking back then when you listen to do that terrible song? what went through your mind? >> almost nothing but enjoyment of a the sound. it was like a cartoon to us. because it wasn't a life that i led. whether it was the beastie boys which had absurdish fantasies to me didn't even make sense. nowadays i do believe that things like black lives matter they are -- their career moves. if you can get a name in a movement, you get a tv job. you become a contributor at the new york daily news.

>> this has always been a disgusting song. lyrics in particular always have been might clud hbo ran this movie all weekend. i farn tee you if ice cube enemy broke out of jail looking to put chrome in his dome he would be calling police that he says f to. >> all right, gentleman. and directly ahead, you will remember that yesterday's theme at the republican convention was make america safe again as most republicans understand, most americans, i think, too, the only way that can happen is if law enforcement officers could their job effectively. that's the only way we are going to be safe. that has been a very hot topic of conversation at the convention. so far this year, 63 law enforcement officers have died in the line of duty in all of 2015123 dead. there has been no improvement in 2016. and firearms related

incidents that is people shooting at the cops are up a whopping 72% from 18 last year to 31 already this year. very disturbing. with us now here in new york city, lis wiehl and from cleveland kimberly guilfoyle. is this violence toward police the number one convention topic, guilfoyle? >> >> definitely law and order is on the minds of everyone i have spoken to and delegates and people to attend the convention. it's been the one unifying theme and message respect for law enforcement for the rule of law. no one wants anarchy which if do you not have respect for rule of law, that can only be but a few days away. and this is a striking difference between the republicans and democratic party which has given voice and audience and will will he jihadi -- legitimized the black lives movement. sheriff clarke, rudy

giuliani, marcus luttrell about respect for officers and blue lives. >> you are not going to see that wiehl and you are a democrat. you are not going to see that at the democratic convention next week. you will not see the pro-police people up there. so how are americans going to process that? overwhelmingly americans don't want the police officers killed and shot at? >> no, of course not. i don't think this should be a political issue at all. it's not a political issue. it's not a democrat issue. it's not a republican issue. look, when you have 48,000 police officers from the latest stat that were assaulted in 2014, 48,000, bill? 48,000 police officers just line duty police officers going about doing their job. the other stat that i just found just outrageous is that the line again, police officer out there just doing his or her job every day is number two as the most violent job out there in the country.

>> what's number one? >> a government worker in a nursing home of all things, of course. >> get stuff thrown at you. wiehl, you are making a mistake it's not a political issue. >> it's not a political issue. >> certainly it is. at the republican convention right now, you saw the roster of speakers last night they are condemning all of this police violence without a but. without a but. on the democratic side oh, this is terrible but here it comes a litany of grievance. i think it is a political issue. >> unfortunately it is. you see statistics 72% increase in firearm related shootings at police officers. unfortunately now police officers have targets on their backs because of the divisive rhetoric that we have heard also coming from this administration, from the democratic party, from also people like hillary clinton.

that's the message i'm getting from people i talk to out here that have legitimize black lives matter and groups that call for violence against police officers. >> wait, wait. hold it. >> okay. >> let me pin you down on this, guilfoyle, because i have heard this a lot. >> you say that i guess president obama and others in the democratic party are encouraging. >> and the justice department. >> are encouraging violence against the police. that's what you are saying, correct? >> i am saying they are legitimizing groups like black lives matter that call for the death of police officers and violence against police officers like pigs in a blanket. >> i have the answer to this question but i want to ask you. >> okay, go ahead. >> how has president obama legitimized black lives matter? >> when you look at the violence erupted across this country and protest and loss of lives in places like ferguson and very politicized justice department that began under eric holder and continued now under loretta lynch, you see that. you see that they have prosecuted all these officers and all of them with not guilty verdicts.

>> the most you can say -- you cannot say black lives matter has caused these things. you can say there is a correlation with them. >> they are fuse lighters. how has president obama encouraged black lives matter or legitimized as guilfoyle said black lives matter? do you know? >> my point is he should have come out and made a strong statement. >> there is a simple answer to this. >> supporting law enforcement across this country. instead he stood silent for far too long and we have seen police officers bleed across this country. minority police officers that protect and serve regardless of what your color is. and that is shameful to me as a former prosecutor who has worked closely with police officers throughout the state of california. >> i don't disagree with you as a former prosecutor i don't disagree with that at all. i don't think that you can say that black lives matter has caused those things because only say there is a correlation to them. >> now we are going around a circle here is the answer. >> you just legitimize groups like that.

>> i'm going to give you 10 seconds. how has president obama in guilfoyle's words legitimized black lives matter and neither lady pinpointed it. here is the answer. >> that's incorrect i specifically said that he should have come out and made a strong statement in support of law enforcement and said. >> do you want the answer or not. >> i would love to hear it. >> okay so you have to stop talking so i can give you the answer. he invited black lives matter leaders to the white house, period. >> that's one example. good job. >> that legitimized the movement for the far left and left wing media for the democratic party, and that was a terrible mistake. to give the weight of the people's house to allow these people in. if you want to do meet with them, meet with them some place else. but you don't bring them, in not people who have said and done what those leaders of black lives matter have said and done. ladies? >> let's see what the democrats do for the officers. >> all right, wiehl, this

time next week we will be watching. thank you. plenty more ahead as the factor moves along this evening. we will continue our coverage. one of donald trump's major themes is that he will put an end to foreign terrorism. but is that possible? take a hard look at it then, watters out in cleveland at the rock and roll hall of fame. >> james brown and donald trump have a lot in common. >> how so? >> similar dance moves. >> probably not. you must have hit your head.

terrorism. most of the republican delegates believe america has not been tough enough on the jihadi. jihad one of theme is that he would stop refugees from terror ridden areas in the world from coming here in the u.s.a. in germany yesterday, authorities say 17-year-old afghan refugee attacked five people on a train, man used a knife and ax shouting god is great in arabic while going on his bloody rampage that is coupled with the muslim terrorists last week who killed 8 people in nice, france driving a big truck in the crowd. the question tonight as we cover the g.o.p. convention, can donald trump stop at least. so madness if is he elected? joining us from washington, fox news strategic analyst lieutenant colonel ralph peters. so very difficult easy to

say i'm going to do, i'm going to do, i'm going to do and both candidates telling the american people they are going to diminish the isis threat and other terrorism. can they really? donald trump himself doesn't have the expertise but if he were president if he picked the right subordinates, bill and empowered them he could put together a dream team and my dream team would be mike flynn, director of national intelligence, chris christie attorney general. rudy giuliani, homeland security john bolton at state. you would see a significance difference. fewer dead americans and a lot more dead terrorists now do you believe that if president donald trump would put troops on the ground to route out the jihadists because he doesn't like to do that. he didn't like the iraq war and doesn't like to insert troops in the middle east,

do you think he would do that. >> donald trump is a cameleon takes on the coloration of the moment obviously dealing with terrorism would have to be a promise he would do his best to fulfill. we always couch it no boots on the ground, no boots on the ground. it's a matter of flexibility. of empowering the can a be cabinet and military leaders and intelligence community to do the right thing for the given situation at the right time. specific situations want different requirements. some might be air power alone. others might need 50,000 troops for six months the. the answer is not easy. >> as long as the isis is aadvantages have a raqqa syria command and control, they can spread their propaganda and point to we hold this, we hold that now, the other day on the factor, mr. trump said that he would ask congress for declaration of war against the islamic jihad. would that be a wise thing to do.

>> yes, do i think so. because it changes a lot of legal definitions. it further empowers our military. it just clears up a lot of murky areas. >> right. >> i do think as you know, bill, i'm not a trump fan but i do think is he sufficiently ruthless and that's what you need you need somebody who is not going to look at the new york review books or new yorker magazine when it comes to national security. buy the way i love the new yorker too. >> big divide as president obama and donald trump how they see the world. let's talk about domestic terrorism. when you have the police murdered in class and the police murdered in louisiana i called it domestic terrorism and one guy called me warmongerer for doing that i believe it is domestic terrorism. hard to stop one guy going out like the nice guy alan it is the organization, correct? >> of course it's domestic

terrorism. anyone who says it different solid a folly. what is the point in the point of it is to terrorize cops. it's not islamist terrorism. it's racist anti-cop terrorism. you can't call it anything else because it isn't anything else. by the way, you know, i'm a child of the 60's. you sort of are, too. fashionable back then to criticize a cop, to call them pigs. i will tell you in the course of my blessed life i have learned to value police so highly that i cannot measure it with my vocabulary. those are the people that are on the front line every single day protectingivization. we are a country of laws. we must remain so. can i tell people very simply how they can dramatically reduce their chances of getting shot by a cop. don't commit violent crimes. don't attack cops. and don't resist arrest. you follow those three principles and your chances of getting shot by a cop go way down. police aren't out to shoot

rejection of ohio and the comment of words john kasich that he thought it was embarrassing that he is not here. think about the strategy that no gop candidate has won without winning ohio. take a look at where ohio is. i'll tell you that new york up front here, way, way over there in the corner behind the band, you'll see where they have set ohio. rob fortman, the senator who has a race that he is on for right now. he is not speaking. he will be here but not speaking. so the treatment of ohio is one of the big question marks here given the fact that they obviously really need to win ohio, bill. >> did the gop poobahs do that on purpose because kasich and fortman said they weren't going to come? is that why they shunned them over there? >> i mean it's obvious that the trump campaign and the rnc did not people like they had to give ohio priority. it's a very questionable tactic especially since manafort is scolding kasich. kasich came out today and spoke to a michigan delegation in another location and said the

reason he dropped out of the race is because he knew if he stayed in, he would have to say things he wouldn't believe. in order to patch it up and get the governor on trump e side is a pretty heavy lift. >> he doesn't need anybody. it's him against hur, and surrogates don't matter this time around. let's bring in hemmer, who is also roaming around. what's the most interesting thing you've seen so far tonight? >> i've come across a number of things. when you get here tomorrow night, check out the vip box, bill. it's draped in black, outlined in gold, has five gold stars on the front. the trump children are there. donald trump jr., the biggest night of his life. age 38. i said how is it going to go tonight? he gave me a thumb's up. he said it's going to be good. he'll be out here in about an hour. rudy giulianiarena. he came to see his friend mike mukasey, the former attorney general. i said what did you think about last night? he said, i loved it. what did you think?

i told him i didn't have much of a vote. the crowd really ate up the speech. the crowd inside here loved it. you're going to hear the prosecution, bill, of hillary clinton tonight. all these prosecutors and lawyers on stage going to the e-mail and the server. a question of trust and character and behavior and on and on. that's going to be a major theme tonight. >> you're a native ohioan, right? cincinnati guy, down state guy. did you notice what maccallum said, that they shunted ohio kind of into the corner because the big shots didn't show up? >> my understanding is that the seating arrangement came out based on the primary and caucus results. so new york's in front. california's in front. he won both states. pennsylvania is in front as well. kasich won ohio. kasich's not going to be here as you mentioned earlier today. and when kasich picked up delegates throughout the night, you could hear the ohio section breaking out in cheers, and then you could hear a ripple of amusement across the hall

tonight. kasich's a no-show. >> he's a man of principle. i don't agree with it. i think he signed that pledge has trump pointed out on his program last night, and he should show up and do what he can. but you know john. he takes everything personally. >> i can tell you scott walker, the governor from wisconsin, speaks tomorrow night. he's been here both nights, and he told me tonight that he will go without podium and without teleprompter. >> wow. >> so maybe trump is rubbing off on him a little bit. >> scott walker unleashed tomorrow, right? walker is tomorrow? >> we shall see. >> all right. >> yes, indeed. tomorrow night here. >> thank you very much. i do not want to leave you this evening without the factor tip of the day. a salute to a young american who sang "the star-spangled banner" in a terrific way. ♪ 0 say does that star-spangled

banner yet wave ♪ ♪ oer the land of the free ♪ and the home of the brave [ applause ] >> marla na vanhoose, 20 years hold, has ser reeb ral palsy, is blind, obviously possesses a magnificent voice. the crowd at the convention gave her a rousing standing ovation after her rendition of the star-spangled banner. factor tip of the day, marlana has had a very rough physical go of it from birth, but she has developed her immense talent in a very positive way. a lesson for all of us.

now, tomorrow as mentioned i will be in cleveland. so we hope you watch our coverage from there. we'll have a lot of surprises for you tomorrow. anything can happen when we roll into town. but i'm looking forward to it, and i hope to see you again tomorrow night at 8:00 eastern time. i'm bill o'reilly. thank you again for watching the factor tonight. please always remember that the spin stops right here because we are definitely looking out for you. let's go back to cleveland. >> the rest of us, the choice to own a firearm is ours to make. in america, there cannot be one set of rules for the clintons and another set for us. but here's hillary's problem. american women are the

fastest-growing group of gun owners. breaking tonight, it is the moment millions of americans have been waiting for as donald trump sheds the label of "presumptive" and officially becomes the 2016 republican nominee for president. welcome to "the kelly file," i'm megyn kelly. in moments, trump will make his first remarks to the cleveland crowd as the official nominee, and we'll bring those to you live. it was nearly 13 months ago to this day that the new york businessman was descending the trump tower escalator and announcing his candidacy for the highest office in the land. critics at the time dismissed as a sideshow. instead, he became the main event, and how. he took the political world and the nation by storm, cultivating a massive following and breaking allhe
