"Today in Dallas, Mr. Obama addressed the world, trying to calm racial tension in the USA. The president hit a high note and a dubious note. First the good: 'We know that the overwhelming majority of police officers do an incredibly hard and dangerous job fairly and professionally. They are deserving of our respect and not our scorn.' Very well put by the president. But then Mr. Obama veered away from the present and into the land of grievance: 'We also know that centuries of racial discrimination, of slavery, and subjugation and Jim Crow, they simply didn't vanish at the end of lawful segregation. They didn't just stop when Doctor King made a speech or the voting rights act or civil rights act were signed.' Raising the specter of slavery and Jim Crow gives the haters an excuse and fuels the grievance industry. If we are ever to become one nation under God, we will have to put the grievances behind us and not use them as an excuse for bad behavior. That means acceptance of past sins and a determination to never let mass discrimination happen again. To some extent the president understands this, but he is not powerful enough in stating it. Instead he dwells on the problem rather than the solution. The truth is bias will always be with us. Every country has it, and from the dawn of mankind unfair treatment has occurred. Americans should all be in this together, but we are not. What we really need is a federal government to create laws that are fair and make sure they are enforced without prejudice. It won't be easy, but it's possible."

The Factor spoke about racial tension in America with Donald Trump. "There is a problem," Trump lamented, "and it's getting worse. It's a very sad situation when you see what's going on. We have a divider as president and it's probably not been worse at any time. The country doesn't have any spirit, we need a cheerleader and not a divider." Trump implied that an improved economy will greatly improve race relations. "You can't truly understand the African American experience unless you're African American, but I do understand what goes on in life. People are making less money than eighteen years ago, jobs are leaving the country, and our educational system stinks." Trump also described the two recent killings of black men by police as "disgusting" and declared that Black Lives Matter is "dividing America."

Returning for a second segment, Donald Trump responded to Jeb Bush's harsh criticisms of his candidacy. "Jeb Bush talks about upholding the Constitution," Trump said, "but he doesn't uphold his pledge. He signed an irrevocable pledge that he would support the Republican nominee and he has violated that. But I'm fine without his support." Trump also insisted that he has not yet settled on his running mate, but he's close. "I have a pretty good idea who it will be. It's going to be someone who can help me get elected and will also be able to serve."

The Factor asked FNC's Kirsten Powers whether Donald Trump will be able to start healing America's racial wounds. "I have a problem with Donald Trump trying to pin the blame on Barack Obama," she declared, "because it's so far-fetched. I think the racial divide exists totally independent of the president. And terms of the Black Lives Matter movement, I think they may be looking for solutions and the vast majority of them are peaceful." But The Factor countered, "If the president associates with Al Sharpton and cozies up to Black Lives Matter, that's divisive."

Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified before a house committee Tuesday, and Juan Williams and Lisa Boothe analyzed the often-contentious hearing. "It was painful to watch Republicans trying to beat a dead horse," Williams declared. "The FBI did the investigation of Hillary Clinton but the Republicans were trying to politicize Loretta Lynch. She's not an investigator, she's not an FBI agent." While Williams ridiculed the GOP, Boothe took aim at the other party. "Democrats used this as an opportunity to talk about gun control, which had nothing to do with the subject matter. There is no dead horse, it's alive and its heart is beating!"

The latest iteration of Kate's Law was again killed by Senate Democrats last week. The Factor asked legal wizards Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle to elaborate on the law and its intent. "As a former prosecutor in San Francisco," Guilfoyle said, "which is a sanctuary city, I saw people who had been deported coming back in and committing violent crimes like rape and murder." Wiehl tackled the argument put forth by Kate's Law opponents that something as innocent as not showing up for a hearing could count as an aggravated felony. "I was a federal prosecutor and we won't prosecute mealy-mouth crimes like not showing up for a hearing. We don't have the time for that, we prosecute the worst of the worst!" The Factor took a moment to revisit his angry confrontation last week with Kate's Law opponent Kevin Ring: "I was a little too harsh with Mr. Ring, I should not have called him dishonest. But he misled."

During James Comey's testimony last week in the House, Democratic Congressman William Clay implied that Donald Trump associates with white supremacist groups. Greg Gutfeld opined on the exchange. "This is an attempt at deflection," he asserted. "Any time there is the possibility to inject Donald Trump into a proceeding, they will do that to get the spotlight off of Hillary. If the hearing had been about childhood obesity, Congressman Clay would have accused Trump of only re-tweeting skinny teenagers." Gutfeld turned to the minor league baseball team that invited fans to bring their cats to a game. "This is the pussycatification of America," he quipped, "and it also shows you how lame cats are. You bring cats to the game and they won't even chase the ball, but if you brought dogs they would be everywhere. Cats don't even know what they're watching, and I know because I'm a cat whisperer."

Adam Csernay, New Hyde Park, NY: "Bill, you cited Black Lives Matter protesters saying 'pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon.' You did not report they yelled, 'What do we want? Dead cops.'"

Neenrique Couto, Sao Paulo, Brazil: "If I have an encounter with police, I will comply with every word they say."

Robert Elder, Warren, OR: "Bill, you have no right to presume that you have the right to tell the president what he should say in Dallas. Ego or what?"

Sheila Cummings, Weston, MA: "Tip of the Day for you, Bill. Stop talking and allow Mary Anne Marsh to complete a sentence. She's your best Democrat guest."
