"On March 3rd, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will address Congress about Iran and terrorism in general. Speaker of the House John Boehner invited Mr. Netanyahu but did not tell the president until the last minute. Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace believes the move is designed to embarrass the president, and many other Americans feel the same way. But Talking Points dissents. I want to hear what Netanyahu has to say, and I hope President Obama rebuts his remarks publicly if they are false or misleading. Mr. Netanyahu and his nation are directly threatened by terrorism and Iran, thus they have to be deeply involved in what's going on. It's important for all Americans to know what Benjamin Netanyahu is thinking. Now the bigger picture. Americans are in danger from Islamic terrorists and from Iran. President Obama believes he is making progress in a nuke deal with Iran, but the current negotiations have been going on for 14 months and have been extended twice. Some in Congress want to impose sanctions right now, but Talking Points has said that would be a mistake. Yes, severe sanctions would have to be imposed if the deal fails and President Obama has said he would do that, but Congress should give Iran no excuse to walk away. If there is no deal by the end of June, then Congress can unleash hell and President Obama will have no choice but to go along with it. So let's put the saber rattling aside for five months, no antagonism. That being said, many Americans have no confidence that President Obama will ever confront Islamic terrorism. In fact, some might surmise that the White House is actually afraid of the Muslim world. The White House gets away with this kind of nonsense because the American public doesn't care to know what's going on. One of the reasons America was hit so hard in 2001 is that we were unprepared. Our intelligence services underestimated al Qaeda, and our immigration authorities were asleep. Well, in 2015 immigration authorities are still asleep, anyone can get into this country. And while our intelligence certainly has improved, public interest in terrorism overseas and the dangerous Iranian situation is almost nonexistent. ISIS does not fear the USA, and certainly Iran is pushing us to the wall. Sadly, the president does not seem to be very engaged. Speaker Boehner's invitation to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is not out of line. Let Netanyahu speak his mind, let him spell out the danger he sees to the world. That will be instructive, and maybe some Americans will finally pay attention. Probably not."

Guests:Mary Katharine Ham & Juan Williams
Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham weighed in on the Netanyahu invitation. "I think this is politically offensive," Williams declared, "because it makes it appear that the American people have a politically-driven foreign policy. It used to be that these kinds of disputes stopped at the ocean's edge, but not in this case. Also, I think it's making Obama into the victim here." But Ham insisted that the invitation is entirely appropriate. "John Boehner told the White House about this and I am not sure what the president expects. He has systematically undermined his relationship with Congress, he has systematically undermined his relationship with Israel, and yet he expects everything to go swimmingly in a situation like this."

Guest:Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer
The U.S. Army has completed an investigation of former hostage Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who was swapped for five Taliban commanders more than six months ago. The Factor asked Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer for an update on the troubling case. "Bowe Bergdahl will be charged with desertion," Shaffer pronounced. "I was told, and it has been confirmed by two sources, that his attorney was given a 'charge sheet' and the key violation is desertion. The next step is a court martial." Shaffer added that the Obama administration has been stonewalling the results of the investigation. "There is a huge battle going on and I am told that the individual trying to suppress this is Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes. There is a titanic struggle behind the scenes, the White House wants this to go away."

Guest:Melissa Francis
In the first installment of a series called "Did You Know That?," The Factor spoke with Fox Business anchor Melissa Francis about her unusual childhood, which included a starring role on the hit show "Little House on the Prairie." "I had the Hollywood version of a 'tiger mom,'" she explained, "who pushed me relentlessly in everything I did. But I loved acting as a kid and Michael Landon was phenomenal, he was like Santa Claus and God rolled into one. I went to a regular school and I had straight As all the way along. And then, after Harvard, I started as an intern at a local TV station in Los Angeles. A station in New Hampshire gave me a shot, but I bombed and got fired. So I picked myself up and kept going, and now I have my dream job."

Guest:Megyn Kelly
The most powerful legislator in New York State, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, has been charged in a massive corruption case. FNC anchor and attorney Megyn Kelly reported the latest on the damning allegations. "They claim he was taking bribes and kickbacks to the tune of $4 million," she said. "In one example, he had a relationship with a doctor who referred asbestos cases to a law firm that Sheldon Silver happened to be a partner at. He never had to show up for work, but the law firm allegedly gave Silver millions of dollars. In return, Silver gave the doctor a state grant for research." The Factor argued that Sheldon Silver, whether or not he is guilty as charged, has done great harm to the citizens of New York: "He single-handedly stopped 'Jessica's Law' from being passed in New York, he stopped education reform because he's in the pocket of the teachers union, and he basically makes all the decisions in one of the most corrupt states in the union."

Guest:Jesse Watters
Heeding Horace Greeley's sage advice, FNC's Jesse Watters headed west to Colorado and the X-Games, where competitors engage in dangerous skiing and snowboarding competitions. He asked some spectators a few simple questions about U.S. history and geography. While most of them actually knew George Washington was our first president, only a few could identify our enemies in World War II, the general location of the Atlantic Ocean, or the name of our national anthem. Back home in the warmth of the studio, Watters summarized his extreme adventure. "I know for a fact that one guy was stoned," he said, "but that's about it. I just go for how people look - I see people and I ask them a few questions."

Malcolm Berkeley, Sydney, Australia: "O'Reilly, you say propaganda on the Net is dangerous. Wrong. The danger is censorship. The Internet gives power to the people."

Mike Friedrich, Plantation, FL: "As a combat vet, I say that Matthew Duss was right on a couple of points: understanding the enemy's motivation is critical to destroying them."

Bryce Overturf, Dallas, TX: "For Christmas, my wife gave me a premium membership to BillOReilly.com and all the Killing books!"
