Democrats Split Over President Obama's Troubles Abroad
Guests:James Rosen & Carl Cameron As we have suggested time and again, the major problem with President Obama's foreign policy is that he doesn't anticipate problems. And when they arise, he seems paralyzed. The new war in Iraq between the terrorist ISIS army and the people of that besieged country has deeply embarrassed the administration, as thousands of innocent civilians are being slaughtered. U.S. airpower and military advisors are trying to blunt the terrorist advance, but this should have been done a long time ago. As we have reported, former Secretary of State Clinton has hammered the president over foreign policy. Tonight there's a big party on Martha's Vineyard with scores of Democratic fat cats , and Mrs. Clinton says she is going to hug President Obama. But it is clear that if she wants to be the next president, Hillary Clinton cannot embrace President Obama's foreign policy, which is in shambles. So Mrs. Clinton will have to either say nothing or distance herself from the president. That will present problems because if President Obama gets teed off, he can hurt her presidential chances. The far left wing of the Democratic Party has already repudiated her, thinking she is too conservative. However, the Obama administration does not want a fight with Hillary Clinton, and so the Democratic Party finds itself in an awkward position. But for everyday Americans, the real question is, 'How much damage is being done to this country because of President Obama's ineffective foreign policy?' In my opinion, tons."
Fox News correspondents James Rosen and Carl Cameron joined The Factor with their analysis of the apparent rift among top Democrats. "Mrs. Clinton has chosen to display her distance from the president," Rosen said, "specifically on the question of whether the U.S. should have armed the Syrian rebels early on. She says the failure to do that allowed terrorists to fill the vacuum, but the president calls that a fantasy. One problem for Mrs. Clinton is that two-and-a-half years ago she said arming the Syria rebels wasn't 'viable,' but now she says the failure to do that enabled terrorists to fill the vacuum. She will not be allowed to have it both ways." Cameron elaborated on Mrs. Clinton's effort to distance herself from the Obama administration. "There are a lot of things she is doing that run against the popular tone of the Democratic Party. She told the president on the phone that she wasn't attacking him, but shortly thereafter her aides put out a statement with absolutely no words of apology. So she's denying being critical while referencing their disagreements. She's bad-mouthing the president and Obama loyalists resent that, while Democrats in general see her making all the same mistakes that lost her the last race in 2008. She's like a bull in a china shop and she's breaking the china!"

Scathing Immigration Report from the DHS
Guests:Laura Ingraham The Department of Homeland Security has issued a report showing that hundreds of criminal illegal aliens were released by the Obama administration early last year. Conservative radio talk show host Laura Ingraham analyzed the report. "This administration is just not serious about enforcement," she complained, "and they decided this was a good way to put pressure on politicians to pass an amnesty bill. They were saying if you don't give us amnesty it's going to endanger the public. But now 70% of Americans think illegal immigration is hurting our economy and our way of life, this issue is at a tipping point. This is not against Latinos or Mexicans, a lot of these people are here legally and are being hurt by criminal immigrants."

Planned Parenthood Under Investigation
Guests:Kristen Waggoner Staffers at Planned Parenthood clinics have repeatedly been caught on tape giving improper counseling to underage girls. The Factor was joined by Kristen Waggoner, whose organization alleges that Planned Parenthood in Arizona illegally protected an 18-year-old named Tyler Kost. "Mr. Kost has been indicted on 30 counts of sexual assault," Waggoner reported, "some of them involving girls under 15 years of age. One 14-year-old reported her rape to Planned Parenthood and we have filed a formal complaint to have the state investigate this. Planned Parenthood actually told this rape victim and her mother that it was too much of a 'hassle' to report her rape to the authorities. Mr. Kost went out and victimized other young girls after Planned Parenthood was aware of the rape. The clinics that have violated the law should be shut down!" The Factor concluded, "This guy could have been stopped if Planned Parenthood had obeyed the law."

Wild Confrontation Caught on Tape
Guests:Martha MacCallum FNC's Martha MacCallum screened video of a confrontation in Arizona that began when police pulled over an illegal alien. A crowd of protesters gathered around, trying to prevent his arrest. "This man had been here for ten years," MacCallum said. "He was making an illegal turn when they pulled him over - he is still in custody and could be deported. There is a social network in Tucson where people notify each other and they show up when something like this happens." MacCallum also commented on actors Mickey Rourke and Steven Seagal, both of whom have expressed great admiration for Vladimir Putin. "I would recommend that they take time to figure out what Putin's policies are," she said, "and Putin has a notorious history. So I'm going to have to put devil horns and weird mustaches on posters of these actors in my office."

Viewers sound off
Jim Irving, Bloomington, IL: "Bill, in light of the death of Robin Williams, the country is in dire need of respectful coverage of depression. Your conversation with Patty Duke and Connie Francis was a great start."
Valerie Halvorsen, Pagosa Springs, CO: "O'Reilly, I respect you for not sensationalizing the Robin Williams story. Your focus on depression may save lives."
Vince Purpura, Columbus, OH: "Karl Rove is wrong on Iraq. Everybody I know thinks the war was a mistake."
Daniel Baceda, Shadow Hills, CA: "Karl was right. Our military took care of business in Iraq, and Obama is tossing it all away."
