Guests: Monica Crowley and Alan Colmes
"According to the Boston Herald, the Tsarnaev family received more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance since it came to the USA in 2002. Even though the family was granted asylum and got an amazing amount of money from 'we the people,' the mother is accusing America of murder. This story speaks not only to the immigration mess, but also to the welfare chaos. Why are we supporting questionable foreign folks? The Tsarnaev family wasn't persecuted in southern Russia, they freely went back there. The whole thing is a giant con that led to the murder of four Americans and horrific wounds to scores of others. But where is the outrage from President Obama and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, who didn't even want to make public the welfare payments to the Tsarnaev family? Other than Massachusetts State Representative David Linsky, who is demanding that this situation never happen again? It's business as usual - let pretty much anyone into the USA and pay them with taxpayer money."
The Factor invited FNC analysts Alan Colmes and Monica Crowley to critique the Talking Points Memo. "I don't share your anger about this whatsoever," Colmes stated. "They were in the country legally and we had no idea ten years ago that they would be doing a terrorist act. The family's Mercedes Benz was ten years old and worth a couple of thousand dollars. This is manufactured outrage to go after people on welfare and immigrants." Crowley was far less understanding toward the Tsarnaev clan. "We're talking about taxpayer money for cash, for food stamps, for housing. We're paying for Dzhokhar's hospital bills and we paid for Tamerlan's defense when he beat up his girlfriend in 2009. The list goes on and on! We have an entitlement society that is now out of control." |

Guests: Marc Mukasey
Former federal prosecutor Marc Mukasey entered the No Spin Zone to explain the legalities involved in the Boston terror prosecution. "Dzhokhar was arrested in a boat," he said, "and if you are arrested without a warrant you need to be presented to a judge who will read you your Miranda rights within 48 hours. But the government could have asked a judge to re-arrest him in the hospital and it could have lawfully kept him from getting his Miranda rights for up to four months!" Mukasey also analyzed the FBI's failure to monitor Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his widow Katherine Russell. "Even new prosecutors know that the investigation begins at home. Once Tamerlan was identified two years ago, the FBI could have been monitoring her social media and phone and email accounts." The Factor concluded, "We don't have enough clarity but it looks like this was not handled in the optimal way." |

Guests: Charles Krauthammer
The Factor asked Charles Krauthammer to evaluate President Obama's Tuesday press conference. "Two things surprised me," Dr. K said. "First is that Obama was asked about the story that broke last night on Fox saying that the State Department is threatening employees who want to talk about what really happened at Benghazi. The President said he hadn't heard about that, which is a little hard to believe and stunning. The second thing that surprised me was that no one in the press corps asked about the Mirandizing of the terrorist in the hospital. We're scurrying around the world trying to speak to people about the plot, and here in the hospital was the one guy on earth who knew about the plot, other accomplices, and other plots. But this administration allowed him to be Mirandized and to shut up partway through the interrogation. That is a scandal of the first order. They should have declared him an 'enemy combatant' so they could interrogate him as much as needed." |

Guests: John Stossel
Last year Chicago had more than 500 murders; the vast majority of both victims and killers were black males. The Factor asked John Stossel to evaluate the stats. "It's wrong to focus on Chicago," Stossel asserted, "because other cities are worse and it's also wrong to focus on race. It's much more your fault because if you weren't supporting the drug war the drug laws would go away and most of this crime would go away." Stossel turned to the fact that most violent crimes are committed by blacks and Hispanics. "Monica Crowley talked about the wreckage of liberalism and you talk about welfare chaos. We've sent the message that you're a victim and you can't participate in the white capitalist world. People used to lift themselves out of the ghetto but now they're being told that they can't." The Factor took issue with Stossel's proposal to fight crime by legalizing drugs: "You're living in the land of Oz on that one, I think the criminals would just find another way to make easy money." |

Guests: Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle
Legal analysts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl began their segment with the murder trail of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell. "I predict he will be found guilty on five counts of murder," Wiehl declared, "murder of the four infants and murder of the woman patient who was killed. But it was a long trial and it will take some time for the jury to decide. The main question is whether the babies were actually born, were they alive before Gosnell and others killed them?" Guilfoyle denounced Gosnell's attorneys for implying that the abortionist was singled out because he is black. "I was there yesterday for the closing arguments and I thought the defense did a decent job except for repulsively bringing up the race card. They said this was a prosecution based on race, but the majority of the aborted babies were also black. I concur that he'll be found guilty and will get life without the possibility of parole." |

Guests: Jesse Watters
FNC's Jesse Watters spent some time hobnobbing with celebrities and media types at the White House Correspondents' Association gala dinner in Washington. He asked some folks whether there is in fact a liberal bias in the press, and got these replies: "Probably on both sides, yes" ... "Are they biased as a whole? That's just dumb, it's silly" ... "I think there's bias everywhere" ... "Fox puts forth the notion that there are two sides to every story and I agree with that." Back in the studio, Watters reported that he had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Korean singer Psy, whose "Gangnam Style" dance was a runaway sensation. "He's incredibly out of shape," Watters revealed, "and he was sweating profusely through the entire red carpet. They had to wipe the guy down after that." |

Nas Kakar, Lake Forest, CA: "Mr. O'Reilly, as a native of Afghanistan, I agree with you that Karzai and his cronies are gangsters and no amount of money will buy their loyalty. There are many decent people in Afghanistan but they have no influence."
Sean Michels, San Diego, CA: "Let me remind everyone that during World War II, America did business with the Italian Mafia in order to defeat the Germans."
Wayne Gardner, Park City, UT: "O'Reilly, so you would quit Afghanistan because of all the corruption? What would happen to the women there under Taliban rule?"
Marti Dolinar, Kansas City, MO: "Who knew that CIA stood for 'Cash in Afghanistan?'" |

| The Wounded Warrior poster signed by all six living First Ladies brought in $51,000 from a bidder who prefers to remain anonymous. When combined with sales of the $25 poster replica, nearly $100,000 was raised for this excellent cause. |
