0 >> yeah, shepard. talking about that tension, even down here below the mountains, the tension is still very thick here. you see different police officers drive by with lights and sirens. but the current search right now, can i give you the latest information. we vom live aerials of big bear up the mountain where we are located about 50 miles or so. we're told that a two mile radius around where the burned out truck of the suspect was found this afternoon. they are going door to door. they brought in more swat teams and dogs as well. the forest service now providing dogs. the temperatures are dropping significantly as the sun goes down. expected to be in the high 20's as the storm moves in. they do realize how difficult it's going to be tonight. they will not stop searching tonight. they tell me they will continue to bring in more officers and if they have to expand that two mile search area. if they don't find anything initially. they will and they will do it in the middle of the night. they are not going to stop looking for this man until they know he is not up there or othey capture him or kill him. that's the latest right now. we also know this, shepard. we have been told that a number of businesses closed down early up there people going home and people have told us that they have weapons on the ready in case he decides to try to come into their homes. shepard. very tense up there and down here. >> shepard: adam housley in riverside. our correspondents are l. stay on scene tonight in los angeles there on riverside and up at big bear mountain. should anything happen during prime time of course we will break in with the very latest. and now you know the news for this thursday, february the 7th, 2013. i'm shepard smith. we're back tomorrow, noon pacific time, 3:00 eastern time. a blizzard is coming for tens of millions of you. by midday tomorrow, no driving according to our first alert forecasters. we have that covered as well. for now, to mr. bill. >> bill: the o'reilly factor is on. tonight: >> the president and first lady are kind of like the mom and the dad of the country. when your dad says something, you listen. >> bush is unbelievable, man. this guy is un[bleep] believable. >> bill: quite a turn around for comedian chris rock who is now supporting gun control who is singer tony bennett. was, you know what? this is why i feel that president obama is correct. this is the america that i would like to see. and articulate some points. but he can't or won't do that and he comes across as a partisan buffoon. >> well, he can do that. i have heard him do that. >> bill: he didn't do it yesterday. >> this was a big press conference. >> bill: we asked him to come on this program and he he wouldn't come on. >> well, you know, there is reasons for that, i'm sure, you know, you probably understand. but going back a second to the press conference yesterday, you know, a lot of people spoke there. and they made some really interesting points. you know, amanda pete was there and she talked about funding for research on this issue and the importance of putting more money into funding this issue so we he have better data on what works. >> bill: we don't have any more money here and you know that look, we can't be -- you and i are not far apart on this issue, by the way. all right? we are not. >> i agree. >> bill: i want the government to have control over gun violence. i mean, i certainly want that. and i think 90% of americans want it, too. including many of the nra members. it's how you go about it taking guns away from law abiding people, not going to solve the problem. federalizing all gun crimes with mandatory minimum 10 years sentences for people who violate, that will solve your problem at least partially. you will never stop the nuts. i will give you the last word. >> well, i would just like to say that taking guns away from law abiding people isn't an issue because we have the second amendment and the heller decision which doesn't allow for that. >> bill: that's what the assault rifle deal is all about. >> the assault rifle deal is something we need to talk about. as i said initially that would be great to know more. after newtown it's amazing if we at least don't have a conversation about whether we need all of these weapons out there and so easily available. i mean, the impact that they can cause is profound. >> bill: that's what this program is here for. >> only thing we should do? no way. >> bill: that's what this program is here for. that's why you are appearing. but rock and bennett and all these other people they won't aappear because they simply don't know enough. i'm suggesting to you, i'm sure there are other people that feel the way you do, who are famous, find them. thanks for coming on. next on the run down, another celebrity getting involved with politics, ashley judd and karl rove's group is is going after her. wait until you see this moments away.
