"This special edition of The Factor will analyze the worst mass shooting in American history. The killer was 29-year-old Omar Mateen, who was shot dead after invading a nightclub shortly after 2:00 AM this morning. While he was gunning people down, he called 911 to say he was committing mass murder in allegiance with ISIS. If Mateen identified with ISIS, he is homophobic by association, as every single jihadist on the planet hates gays. President Obama called it an 'act of terrorism,' but he once again put the emphasis on guns rather than Islamic terrorism. Mateen was a security worker who held a legal firearms license in Florida, and the ATF says he bought his weapons legally. On balance, this seems to be more about international terrorism than gun control, but all aspects of the case should be investigated aggressively. Talking Points is fed up with the Islamic jihad, the world should have confronted it a long time ago. You don't contain evil, you destroy it or it will destroy you. There is no question that all Americans are at risk because Islamic terrorists want to kill us just because we are Americans."

The Factor was joined by Geraldo Rivera, who reported live from the site of the deadly attack. "What struck me most profoundly," he declared, "is the fact that this is the existential threat to the United States. This monster took it upon himself picked the softest target he could find for this slaughter. The Pulse nightclub was jammed when he walked in and began firing. People have been coming up to me sobbing and crying, complaining that the nightclub only had one exit. So when Mateen began firing, people were trapped and had to run by him in their attempt to get out. To have this many casualties, he had to reload many times. This nightclub was turned into a slaughterhouse and the question is how this man, who had been questioned twice by the FBI, could be in that place armed as he was." The Factor lamented, "This was similar to the Paris attacks, and while you can't stop this stuff, you can have a coherent anti-jihadist strategy."

Veteran Orlando journalists Valerie Boey and Estee Martin joined The Factor and related their own experiences after the massacre. "I met a mom this morning here at the hospital," Boey said, "and she said her son went to the club with his boyfriend. Her son is still unaccounted for and she keeps asking for answers without getting them. She was crying and sobbing when I was talking to her, my heart just went out to her." Martin described a terribly unsettling situation at the murder scene. "It's really chilling when you hear that the first responders go into the nightclub to assess the situation and they hear the sound of the victims' cell phones ringing. They know those are family members and friends who are frantically trying to reach them."

The Factor invited analysis from terror experts Aaron Cohen and Jim Hanson. "What's going on is reprehensible," Cohen declared. "Fifteen years after 9/11 we have no macro strategy and what's missing is aggression. The only people who had any fight today was the SWAT team in Orlando, who gunned it out with still another Islamic jihadist. The entire macro picture is broken and the whole system needs to be rebuilt. It's time for the handcuffs to come off law enforcement." Hanson castigated the Obama team for being complacent about Islamic terrorism. "We're not going to stop every attack, but security professionals have been hamstrung by the administration. President Obama failed to mention Islam and security professionals are forbidden from being trained on Islamist ideologies. But the punishment for homosexuality under Sharia law is death!" The Factor agreed and concluded, "If we don't destroy ISIS this kind of stuff will happen more and more often."

Guests: Lt. Col. Ralph Peters

The Factor asked Fox News national security analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters whether Congress should formally declare war on ISIS. "This was certainly an act of war," Peters replied, "and we definitely need a declaration of war. We also need a commander-in-chief who will have our military's back, who will order our military to track down jihadis and kill them. But it's not just the military. Here at home Congress should crack down on 'hate mosques.' We should use the model of the campaign against child pornography to outlaw logging on to jihadist websites. This is not a free speech issue, it's a national security issue. Obama has allowed this cancer to metastasize." Peters laid out two specific things he would do if he suddenly became president of the United States. "First, I would make it the stated policy of the United States that every time there is a jihadist attack on our soil, small and large, another billion dollars in defense aid would go to Israel. Second, I would close Guantanamo and re-open it in the remote Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska."

Guests: Bernie Goldberg

After a day of watching TV news outlets cover the Orlando terrorism, FNC's Bernie Goldberg entered the No Spin Zone with his evaluation. "There was a fascinating exchange on NBC," he began. "They turned a discussion that should have been about Islamic terrorism into their favorite discussion, which is gun control. Tom Brokaw said the real problem is guns, so instead of a fresh and original discussion about why so many Muslims become psychopathic killers, we got the same old discussion about guns. If they banned every AR-15 and every other gun in the USA, ISIS would still figure out a way to kill Americans." The Factor accused many in the media of living in a land of make-believe, saying, "With hundreds of millions of guns on the street, these people are living in a theoretical world."

Returning for a second segment, Bernie Goldberg once again took aim, figuratively speaking, at the liberal media and President Obama. "I think Barack Obama sets the tone for a lot of the press," Goldberg opined, "and he is much more comfortable talking about gun control than Islamic terrorism, a term he still won't use. Reporter Mark Halperin once said that political reporters tend to cover stories the way the Obama campaign wants them to cover stories. They share the same values, which is what we're seeing now with gun control and Islamic terrorism. They're covering it the way the president talks about it."
