"Yesterday the Inspector General of the State Department harshly criticized former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for conducting federal business on her private email system. This is a major development because the FBI is investigating Secretary Clinton for possible criminal wrongdoing and this report provides motive. The report says Mrs. Clinton refused to use government email because she feared that some of her correspondence might be made public. Reaction to the story came quickly. Mrs. Clinton said, 'It's the same story and it's not an issue that's going to affect either the campaign or my presidency.' But Donald Trump said, 'She's as crooked as they come.' Hillary Clinton is banking on the FBI not recommending charges. If the agency does, it's over for the secretary. But if no indictment is forthcoming, voters will most likely shrug - especially because her base is so ardently anti-Trump. Summing up, not a good Wednesday for Hillary Clinton."

The Factor spoke about the State Department report with former prosecutor and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. "The inspector general says she violated the Code of Federal Regulations," Giuliani stated, "which makes it a federal crime to remove a confidential document without permission. And that's exactly what she did. This was a clear and overwhelming violation of that statute, she did not have the right to destroy 55,000 emails and I would argue that those emails are the ones she really does not want us to see. I would charge her with the unauthorized removal of government records and obstruction of justice. I will be greatly disappointed if FBI boss James Comey does not recommend an indictment."

Eleven states have sued the Obama administration over its demand that transgendered students be allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. Eric Bolling and Geraldo Rivera opined on the controversy. "I understand the hype and the hysteria," Rivera said, "but it doesn't have much to do with real life. If these states continue to oppose this, they will be bankrupting their commercial enterprises. Is the South really going to cut itself off culturally from the rest of the country?" But Bolling denounced the feds for the focus on bathroom policy. "Why are they even doing this? Is it because they want to appease some gender political movement? They should be more concerned that we are lagging in science and math."

Fox News anchor Shannon Bream examined a new controversy involving public schools in Fairfax, Virginia. "The school district has voted to expand the definitions of what they are going to teach in their family life curriculum," she reported, "and they are going to teach students that identity includes biological gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation. This has a lot of parents very upset, they don't think this is what they want their young kids learning about. These lessons are going to start in 8th grade." Eric Shawn turned to Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is under investigation for financial wrongdoing. "There is an FBI investigation," Shawn said, "into a $120,000 donation given to McAuliffe's campaign by a Chinese businessman. McAuliffe says there is no wrongdoing because the man is a permanent resident."

On the eve of President Obama's visit to Hiroshima, The Factor welcomed Martin Dugard, co-author of all the 'Killing' books. Dugard spoke about his own recent visit to Hiroshima. "I found that in some ways historians have downplayed the violence," he said, "and in some ways they have glorified it. The museum in Hiroshima is a little garish, it has a touristy quality about it. And their point of view in the museum is that this was a war of American aggression, they see themselves as a victim of our aggression. There is no acceptance of the fact that they might have brought this on themselves."

The Charlotte Observer newspaper in North Carolina published a stunning editorial last week, implying that youngsters should just get used to showering with members of the opposite sex. Bernie Goldberg entered the No Spin Zone to assess the controversy. "If a boy honestly identifies as a girl," he began, "that is a serious issue and let him use the girls' bathroom. But the shower and locker room issue is very different. Every parent has the right to say they don't want their child dressing or showering with children of the opposite sex. The Charlotte Observer and others with liberal views have used the word 'discomfort,' saying we have to get over our discomfort to advance civil rights. But sometimes the minority has to get over their discomfort. And in the case of showering in locker rooms, I think the minority has to be concerned about the majority's discomfort. The way Barack Obama handled this was all wrong."

What do Americans know about Memorial Day and its significance? Jesse Watters hit the streets and asked some young folks about the wars in which U.S. soldiers gave their lives. Sadly and tellingly, most of the people he encountered had absolutely no clue about the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War II, or any other deadly conflict. Just how bad are things? One young woman was pretty sure the Soviet Union won the Civil War, while another millennial claimed that battle was between North America and South America. On the brighter side, everyone was glad to have a day off on Monday.

Peter Hubner, Los Angeles, CA: "Bill, you gave the most incontrovertible evidence of the correlation between less aggressive policing in Chicago and the stunning rise in shootings. Yet your guest would not acknowledge the facts."

Dr. Chris Petrilli, Ann Arbor, MI: "O'Reilly, your oversimplification of the correlation can be dangerous. Many of your viewers may feel that fewer police stops and shootings have a causal relationship."

Col. David Blackburn, Kandahar, Afghanistan: "Mr. O, thanks for having the courage to address the Black Lives Matter issue. Your argument was cogent. Many are reluctant to address the subject because they will be called racist."

Frequent Factor guest Col. David Hunt is involved in a very worthy cause called the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Fund, which raises money to help vets and their families. There is more information on MassFallenHeroes.org.
