Guests: Juan Williams & Mary Katharine Ham
"26-year-old Peter Kassig from Indiana was executed by ISIS killers and the video released over the weekend. Mr. Kassig is the third American beheaded by this barbaric group. President Obama has condemned the murder as 'an act of pure evil,' but that's not enough. ISIS is a direct threat to all Americans, they would kill all of us. Therefore Mr. Obama must change his tactics. First, Special Forces and the U.S. military should kill as many of these terrorists as we can. Borders do not matter. If we know where they are, we go after them from the air, the sea or on land. All the military assets the USA has should be used in eradicating the terror group; those who are captured must be taken to Guantanamo Bay. On to Iran. America will again negotiate with the Iranians to stop them from developing a nuclear weapon. Few are optimistic that Secretary of State John Kerry will succeed, but we hope a strong deal is reached that will protect the world from the Mullahs. If Iran does not agree to stop its nuke program, severe sanctions must be re-imposed. And then there's Putin, whose forces are now invading eastern Ukraine. Over the weekend, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper told Putin to his face to get out of Ukraine. Putin replied, that's impossible because Russia is not there! President Obama knows Putin is lying, and must impose draconian sanctions on Russia. So you can see that in three areas, the bad guys are winning and the president seems hesitant to do what is necessary to turn things around. He can talk all he wants. Meantime, Americans are being murdered."

Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham joined The Factor to analyze the ISIS bloodshed and the proper response. "I disagree when you say 'all' of America's assets," Williams said, "because that would mean ground troops. The polls show that the American people do not want our military forces in another war, and you have to have the support of the American people for military action." Ham contended that President Obama can and should rally the public to the cause. "It's true that the American people are concerned about going in with troops on the ground because they've been burned in the past, but you have to have a commander-in-chief who is willing to make that argument to the people and to take it to Congress for approval." The Factor again insisted, "We don't let our citizens be beheaded on camera!"

Guests: Brit Hume
Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist who helped design ObamaCare, has been caught on tape calling American voters "stupid" and boasting that health reform was passed through subterfuge. FNC's Brit Hume assessed the damage done by Gruber's reckless comments. "This is pretty damaging," he said, "because it reinforces a lot of what the public already understood about ObamaCare and how it was sold. According to Gruber, they knew there were taxes but had to mask that in order to hoodwink the Congressional Budget Office." The Factor decried the outright deception: "Gruber went to the White House 19 times, he met with the president a number of times. We simply can not have deceit when major laws are being passed."

Guests: Alan Colmes & Leslie Marshall
For a view of Jonathan Gruber's inflammatory comments from the left, The Factor turned to liberal thinkers Alan Colmes and Leslie Marshall. "This does political damage and it's not good for the president," Colmes conceded. "It adds to the feeling that the government is deceptive and isn't on our side. And there probably was some deception going on." Marshall agreed that her party has been wounded. "We have to be realistic and look at the facts. This is a piece of legislation that Republicans have been very open about wanting to repeal or replace or tweak. This definitely hurts the president and Democrats are lying to themselves if they pretend it doesn't." The Factor concluded the segment with a bold prediction: "The Supreme Court is following this Gruber thing and they're going to strike ObamaCare down because they'll say it wasn't done honestly."

Guests: Karl Rove
President Obama still seems poised to sign an executive order that will instantly legalize millions of immigrants. FNC's Karl Rove recalled his first-hand experience with the president's shifting stance on immigration. "I was there in the Cabinet Room in 2006," Rove said, "when Senator Obama was a rising star in the Democratic Party. He promised President Bush that he would be a down-the-line supporter of comprehensive immigration reform. But the next year he showed up on the floor of the Senate and voted for a series of killer amendments that were favored by labor unions." Rove also put forth is own plan for dealing with the issue. "There has to be verifiable border security, you have to resolve the issue of guest workers, and we have to do something about the status of the people who are here illegally. If they want to become citizens, they should pay fines and go to the back of the line. If they don't want to become citizens, they can remain and work here, but they don't get ObamaCare and welfare. They broke the law!"

Guests: Sam Dotson
With a grand jury decision expected any day in the Michael Brown case, The Factor asked St. Louis Chief of Police Sam Dotson how his force is preparing for potential unrest. "We have to keep people safe," Dotson began, "we have to protect their constitutional rights, and we have to keep property safe. Governor Jay Nixon has activated the National Guard to help us do those things. The frustrating part for law enforcement is that there are a lot of good people who just want to have their voices heard. We can engage with them, but this criminal element is here to do criminal acts. They're here because there's a stage and a platform - it bothers me and it worries me. When they break the law, we have a plan to go get them."

Guests: Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters visited Philadelphia's Bartram High School, where students have assaulted teachers in numerous incidents. Here's what some students told Watters: "I wouldn't recommend this school to nobody" ... "Some of the teachers are not teaching us, they're not preparing us for college or none of that" ... "They pressure a lot of students and they expect them not to retaliate, but in this environment they got to expect something violent." One neighborhood woman summarized the bleak situation like this: "If you don't get a handle on this right now, it's going to get worse because other kids feel as though they can get away with that. Years ago, you weren't even allowed to look at a teacher crooked."

Darren Fink, Atlanta, GA: "Bill, stop making fun of Jon Stewart's audience. I watch you and him, and I vote and don't smoke pot."

Miles Collins, Los Angeles, CA: "O'Reilly, your banter with Stewart was civil with bouts of humor. Do you two vacation together?"

John Elfmont, Redondo Beach, CA: "O'Reilly, stop trying to match wits with Stewart. You're way out of your league."

Polo Colon, Flushing, NY: "Bill, you handily handled Stewart about liberal devastation in the election."
