Guests:Scottie Nell Hughes & Cathy Areu
"State Department spokespersons Jen Psaki and Marie Harf are disenchanted with me, your humble correspondent. It all began with my criticism of Ms. Psaki, who often does not answer important questions, preferring to dodge and weave...

"Earlier this week in a discussion with FNC correspondent James Rosen, I said this: 'That woman looks way out of her depth over there. Just the way she delivers. It just does not look like she has the gravitas for that job'...

"[Marie Harf's] response was ridiculous: 'I think that when the anchor of a leading cable news show uses quite frankly sexist, personally offensive language, that I actually don't think they would ever use about a man against the person that shares this podium with me - I think I have an obligation and it's important to step up and say that's not okay'...

"We asked Jen Psaki and Marie Harf to come on the Factor tonight, but they are afraid. I hope that's not a sexist comment because many men are afraid to come on this program as well. But the main point here is that smearing people is unacceptable, especially by folks representing the government."

The Factor asked Ms. Hughes, a member of the Tea Party News Network, if she uses these kinds of tactics to intimidate her opponents. Hughes denied it and jumped to the Factor's defense in the Jen Psaki controversy. She said sexism is the new cloak by liberals to shame men who disagree with them.

Ms. Areu had a different opinion: while she doesn't believe the Factor is sexist, she claimed that when she was watching and heard Ms. Psaki referred to as "that woman," she thought it sounded sexist.

The Factor asserted everybody gets treated equally on the show, and then declared that some women want special treatment. To prove his point, he showed a no spin clip where he referred to Al0 Sharpton as "that man."

Areu stood her ground and called the Factor's remark a personal attack on a woman. The Factor, however, called it a criticism of a civil servant who is supposed to be informing the public but isn't doing her job.

Guest:Geraldo Rivera
Earlier this week, your humble correspondent called for Congress to pass a resolution of war against ISIS and other terror groups and for President Obama to sign that declaration.

Geraldo agreed and said he called for a declaration of war more than two weeks ago. Here's his legal rationale for Congressional involvement: ISIS says it is an Islamic state, it occupies a piece of land in Syria and Iraq, and they have committed acts of war with the beheadings of Americans.

The Factor maintained there's no downside to the war declaration, and it would be sending a symbolic message to the world that if you behead American citizens, we're coming after you in an official way.

Geraldo commented that this is the time for presidential passion and noted that Obama is just too detached on this situation.

According to the Factor, Americans are not divided on how President Obama is handling this because most people can agree that playing golf shortly after the beheading of an American is in bad taste.

Geraldo worried the President can't conduct himself properly on behalf of the United States because he's surrounded himself with dispassionate people.

Guest:Sharyl Attkisson
It's estimated that close to 100,000 children, mainly from Central America, will illegally cross the U.S. border by the end of this fiscal year. The Department of Health and Human Services has been secretive about where these kids are going. Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson has been working on this story and was told by HHS they wouldn't engage in a discussion even though this is public information that directly impacts the public.

The Factor pointed out this is the sort of press stonewalling you'd expect in China and Russia. He believes the HHS doesn't want more situations like what happened in Murrieta, California where the citizens rose up against the illegal children being bussed into their town.

Attkisson noted that Congress isn't able to get information from the administration either, which makes it difficult for them to do their job of to providing oversight.

Guest:Lou Dobbs
Yesterday, all over the country, fast food workers demonstrated and called for a major wage hike. A new study from the Heritage Foundation shows that if the wages were imposed, fast food prices would skyrocket.

Dobbs suggested fast food would still be affordable - the wage hike to $15 an hour would increase the $1 special to $1.38. He said the average fast food worker is currently earning more than $9 an hour, and more than half of employees are 22 years or younger, this being their first job with minimal skills required.

The Factor suggested the federal government raise minimum wage to $10 from $7.25 over 18 months, but make an exception for teenagers, who shouldn't earn more than $8.

Dobbs warned that supply and demand should be in balance, and you can't begin to rationalize the type of wage hike for which these employees are asking.

The Factor countered that the government has to start to bring the incentive to work up since you can currently make more money going on the dole than by working for minimum wage.

Guests: Greg Gutfeld & Bernard McGuirk
Somehow Gutfeld worked the young singer Selena Gomez into his ISIS analysis by inferring Ms. Gomez has more testosterone than our President. Gutfeld believes Mr. Obama only gets excited over domestic conflicts because he's been taught to think America is internally flawed.

McGuirk proposed Obama at least learn how to fake outrage better, although he is grateful the President isn't caving into hysteria and rushing into war. The Factor concurred, but said the President should at least come off as more threatening against the terrorists.

Switching gears, the Factor played a 911 call by a kayaker who was bumped out of her boat by a great white shark near Plymouth, MA. Gutfeld joked that sharks are sexist because they are actually more likely to attack men. McGuirk said that with two attractive blondes distressed in the waters of Massachusetts, a Kennedy is sure to be involved somehow.

On the topic of a white cobra found in the suburbs of L.A., McGuirk got a laugh when he said the snake was actually found in Pamela Anderson's house, while Gutfeld make an inexplicable wisecrack about an exotic pet eating his brother (not true!)

Guest:Jesse Watters
We sent Jesse Watters to Bryant Park in NYC to ask 20 people to assess the ISIS threat. The results?

Watters concluded that eight people knew what ISIS was, but that's a very generous interpretation. Only 2 out of 20 really knew what was going on and they were foreign. One respondent even thought ISIS was an Egyptian goddess.

The Factor was dismayed that even on this terrible story, most Americans are clueless.

Evelyn Diaz wrote this on the BET website: "In the past year alone, O'Reilly has blamed Beyoncé for everything from teen pregnancy to the Ferguson riots, putting the degradation of society squarely on her sculpted shoulders." All the Factor really did was criticize the singer for putting out a racy video that might not be a great influence on her young fans, but Ms. Diaz doesn't care about the truth. Bearing false witness is never a good thing. Don't despise your enemies - set them straight if you can.

Frank Yacenda, Tarpon Springs, Florida... "As a former State Department Foreign Service Officer, I find Jen Psaki and Marie Harf to be embarrassments."

Katherine Knox, West Chester, Pennsylvania... "I am retired from a management position at a Fortune 500 company and can distinguish between sexism and unbiased men. You are not sexist, Mr. O'Reilly."

Al Jannard, Laguna Niguel, California... "The State Department is notorious for misspeaking. They did not mean to say sexist; they meant to say sexy."
