Guest:Osama Siblani
"Today in Boston, 36,000 people ran the marathon without incident, clearly a victory over terrorism. We applaud the people of Boston who showed their true character by refusing to give in to terrorism. Generally speaking, that's the attitude of most Americans, but there is some trouble on the horizon. Here in New York City, the very liberal Mayor Bill De Blasio has canceled undercover police operations targeting militant Muslims. The former NYPD deputy commissioner says that's foolish and cites examples of terrorists who were captured before they could kill because of targeted NYPD operations. But Mayor De Blasio, playing to his far left base, doesn't want militant Muslims under watch. So once again, political correctness puts all New Yorkers in danger. Meanwhile, over the weekend dozens of suspected Al Qaeda who were watched by our intelligence agencies were killed by drones in Yemen, and last week the world saw pictures of Al Qaeda fighters brazenly operating in the open. So here's a bulletin to Mayor De Blasio and others who are blasé about terrorism: If these jihadists could kill us, they would, and your primary responsibility is to protect people, not pander to them. Talking Points predicts there will come a time when America is attacked again. All we can hope for is that the damage will be limited and that the foolish mistake of Mayor De Blasio is not involved in any way."

For another perspective, The Factor welcomed Osama Siblani, publisher of the Arab American News. "I don't even know if there are militant jihadists in New York," Siblani declared. "It's a figment of your imagination, Bill, and I praise and I thank the mayor for his actions, this is the American way. You are elected to protect the rights of people, not to harass them. If I know of someone who is trying to hurt our country, I would be the first to call the FBI." The Factor reminded Siblani that the FBI has thwarted numerous terror attacks by using surveillance: "You are terribly naive because there are militant jihadists in this country and they sometimes use mosques to spread their word. We know there are a number of militant mosques, not only in New York but around the country."

Guest:Brit Hume
Many of the same pundits and politicians who praised the "Occupy Wall Street" miscreants now denounce Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy for defying the federal government. The Factor invited FNC's Brit Hume to opine. "Clearly the law is not on the side of Bundy and the others who are resisting in his behalf," Hume stated, "because the property where he's been grazing his cattle is not his. But 'Occupy Wall Street' occupied a square here in Washington where you're not supposed to stay overnight and there was not a peep from Harry Reid, so clearly there is a bias in his comments." The Factor urged media outlets to at least be consistent, saying, "The 'Occupy' movement and Bundy are very similar in that they don't like the system, so if you're going to condemn one you have to condemn the other."

Guests:Juan Williams & Mary Katharine Ham
Some gay rights activists want to intimidate anyone who opposes same-sex marriage or other parts of their agenda. Mary Katharine Ham and Juan Williams entered the No Spin Zone with their reactions. "History has a very clear pattern," Williams said. "Look at what happened with Phil Robertson on Duck Dynasty and the people at Chick-fil-A, who now say they're staying out of politics. But it's wrong to punish people for having a different point of view." Ham denounced the groups that targeted former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who had donated to a group supporting traditional marriage. "A lot of the strategy of gay activists in the past has won hearts and minds, but this was a turn in the direction of bullying and is not good for them." The Factor also worried that some militants have crossed the line: "If you donate money to a traditional marriage cause, they're saying they're going to hurt you. They'll find out where you live, try to take your job, and maybe do vandalism to your home."

Guest:Pastor Cory Brooks
Over the past two weekends 82 people have been shot in Chicago, 13 of them killed. The Factor explored the violence with Pastor Corey Brooks. "If we continue to collaborate and focus on the problem," Brooks said, "I have no doubt we can solve the issue we are faced with today. We're dealing with young black men who are dropping out of school at an alarming rate, one out of ten has an 8th-grade reading level. There are dysfunctional families and an economic system where young black males are unemployed at an alarming rate. This is a time bomb that is rigged to explode at any time." The Factor placed part of the blame on Chicago police officials: "I don't think the Chicago police are doing the job, and if the local police can't stop this the governor should put the National Guard in."

Guest:Karl Rove
President Obama has again delayed a decision on the Keystone Pipeline and seems flummoxed by the situation in Ukraine. FNC's Karl Rove weighed in on the president's woes. "Putin made a judgment that Obama is feckless and weak," Rove said. "He lied and told the president that Russia has no territorial goals in Crimea, and then a week later he was celebrating the annexation of Crimea. He's made the decision that he can roll Obama, so Obama will have to surprise him by being tougher than Putin expects. That means economic sanctions and strengthening NATO." Rove turned to the pipeline, which has faced endless delays. "This is about votes and enthusiasm because Democrats oppose the pipeline. And then there's billionaire Tom Steyer, who has said he will put $100-million into Democratic campaigns if they oppose Keystone. This is cynical and completely political."

Guest:Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters headed to Colorado, where pot enthusiasts gathered over the weekend to celebrate with their favorite intoxicant. When he informed the revelers about a new study indicating that pot harms the brain, these were some of their reactions: "I never read it, but that's a false statement" ... "I still feel smarter than most people I meet." Back in New York, Watters reported that most of the weed aficionados seemed to lack motivation: "Some of them have real jobs, they're bartenders or they work with their hands. But they don't really aspire to much. When you ask where they want to be in five years, they say they don't even plan for tomorrow."

Joe Wingert, Orange County, CA: "Ed Henry makes excuses for President Obama. That is not his job. He should ask tough questions, not defend the president."

Joe Farina, Middlesex, NJ: "O'Reilly, why don't you have the president in for another softball interview. Feel good about your increased ratings?"

Also, Patrick Maher, Cork City Ireland composed this limerick:

You'll notice while watching O'Reilly,
He interviews people quite slyly.
If the guest starts to spin,
He'll express his chagrin,
And that's why he's rated so highly!

On his Comedy Central show, Stephen Colbert has almost exclusively ridiculed conservatives. But when he takes over for David Letterman at CBS, alienating half the country will not be a recipe for good ratings.
