"There is a philosophy that countries eventually get what they deserve. History is littered with fallen regimes; there are thousands of them. Right now in America there are two intense problems. First, stagnant wages for working Americans. Under Barack Obama, the median wage has fallen despite trillions of dollars in stimulus spending by the feds. Talking Points will restate: The only way that wages will rise is for business to expand. And the only way expansion will happen is with tax cuts the way Ronald Reagan did it in the 1980s. The Obama administration has done the opposite; taxes are up big time. Last year the federal government took more money in from workers than ever before, but that is obviously not helping the economy to expand. The second intense problem is worldwide terrorism. Iran is tied in with that because that country trains and funds terror operations all over the Middle East. In the shadow of those two enormous problems is the upcoming presidential election. On the Republican side, 15 men and one woman are considering a run. On the Democratic side, it's all Hillary all the time. But so far turbulence has defined her campaign. This week reports say that despite Mrs. Clinton saying she used just one email address as secretary of state, two email addresses were used in reality. The ongoing drama is getting tedious and takes away from the serious business of fixing America. Americans elected Barack Obama twice and his presidency has been anything but smooth. So all of us on both sides of the aisle should consider that old saying the next time we vote: Countries get what they deserve."

The Factor invited reaction from Wall Street Journal reporter James Grimaldi and former Clinton adviser Richard Goodstein. "This has had a negative impact on Hillary Clinton," Grimaldi said. "Last summer 38% of voters considered her honest and straightforward, but that has dropped to about 25%. On the other hand, some Hillary partisans say it's good that these stories are being written about now so they'll be out of the way." Goodstein staunchly defended his former boss. "Imagine you're Hillary Clinton and you think you can help the country. You could shrink into a hole or you could rise above it and do what she's doing - she's talking about the issues. Her standing among Democrats has gone up and she is the most admired woman in the world." But The Factor suggested that Hillary Clinton is campaigning robotically, saying, "She isn't answering questions, she's just giving memorized answers."

President Obama has joined the rising tide of liberal voices complaining about "mass incarceration" in the USA. Monica Crowley and Kirsten Powers debated that claim. "I do think we have mass incarceration," Powers said, "and there are people who don't need to be in prison for a long time. But I don't think there's a connection between that and spending on education." Crowley reminded everyone that much of the imprisonment is due to Democrats who wanted to seem tough on crime. "The president who signed a lot of the sentencing legislation was Bill Clinton. But today's Democratic Party is not the party of 1994, it has moved totally to the left. Hillary Clinton is trying to negotiate her way around that." The Factor theorized that tough sentencing has saved many lives: "The crime rate has fallen dramatically ever since they started incarcerating drug dealers. Murders are down and every violent crime is down."

In the wake last weekend's deadly shootout involving biker gangs in Texas, The Factor spoke with Edward Winterhalder, a former leader of the Bandidos motorcycle gang. "I was a member for seven years," he recalled, "and about 60% to 70% of the members are just regular guys who have jobs, families, and kids. They go to work like everyone else - the only thing they're guilty of is having too much fun on the weekends. They're searching for something they didn't have in their childhood or for something they had in the military, which is camaraderie and brotherhood. There is a minority of club members who are committing some crimes, but it's disorganized." Winterhalder added that the Bandidos and other clubs have been feuding over the logos on their jackets, saying that has actually led to "skirmishes and assaults and stabbings."

There is a long list of words and terms that are now considered inappropriate in the workplace. Fox Business Network host John Stossel reported on the worst of the lunacy. "I could call you an 'angry and bossy bully,'" he reported, "but I could not call you that if you were a woman. The words you can't say in the workplace are 'sweetie' or 'cutie,' and you can't even tell someone they've lost weight. That implies they were fat before. You also can't use the term 'master bedroom.' Consultants get paid to come into corporations and teach this to people, but a study of 800 companies showed that diversity training has no positive effect."

Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has been sentenced to death, but will he actually be executed by the feds? The Factor posed that question to legal aces Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle. "There are 61 federal prisoners on death row," Wiehl reported, "and more than half were sentenced more than a decade ago. The lawyers will appeal the judge, the sentencing, there are so many appeals they can go through." Guilfoyle agreed that the government is very reluctant to carry out the death penalty. "It almost seems like they put in deliberate obstacles to prevent an efficient process. It harms victims and families, they really put the preference on the defendants." Nevertheless, The Factor predicted, "Because this was so high profile and because they did kill Timothy McVeigh, they have to kill Tsarnaev."

Like many conservatives who supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, radio talk show host Laura Ingraham now admits it was a mistake. "George Bush gave a big speech in 2007," she recalled, "saying we had a new plan in place. But the country had turned against the war. We had spent $25 billion training Iraqi troops, we had men and women dying, but the public wasn't convinced that this wasn't making us safer at home. I became worried that it was making us weaker on the world stage. We see now how difficult it is to engage in 'nation building.'" The Factor concluded, "History will judge that both Presidents Bush and Obama made mistakes in Iraq."

Louis Smith, Gainesville, FL: "Mr. O'Reilly, why are you spreading the false narrative that America is exhausted from the Iraq war? Only one percent of this country has any contact with the military."

Paul Curley, Hong Kong: "The invasion of Iraq was the greatest strategic blunder in U.S. history."

Aaron Bennett, Monroe, GA: "Mr. O, tonight I saw two things I thought impossible. You outsmarted Krauthammer and I agreed with something Senator Feinstein said."
