"Last night two New York City detectives were shot by robbers. They are expected to survive, but this crime has further angered members of the police department. As Talking Points reported last night, the cops are using their discretion in enforcing the law on minor infractions and traffic violations. For the seven day period ending January 4th, New York City had a 92% drop in criminal summonses. The city took in nearly $550 million in parking fines alone last year, so the cops are hitting Mayor Bill de Blasio right in the pocketbook. The police believe de Blasio is putting their lives in danger by embracing the likes of Al Sharpton, an anti-police provocateur. So the cops say if the mayor and the City Council are going to put us in danger, we are going to retaliate. Police Commissioner William Bratton is caught in the middle. He's a good cop, an honest man who has improved policing in Los Angeles and New York. But Bratton could be fired at any time if he defies de Blasio, so he is walking a tightrope. Police officers are sending Bratton a message as well, that they are not going to tolerate politicians who put their lives in danger. Criminals now know they can carry weapons without being frisked; they can commit low-level crimes with impunity; and they can behave in a menacing way without consequence. That's what happened in 1990 when more than 2,000 people were murdered in the city. Last year the murder count was 328! The uber-liberal Bill de Blasio has alienated and endangered the largest police department in the nation. It is a stunning display of incompetence."

Liberal Kirsten Powers and conservative Monica Crowley, Fox News analysts both, reacted to the Talking Points Memo. "I'm surprised that you would support this kind of anarchy from the NYPD," Powers scolded The Factor. "In my book, there is no context for the NYPD or any police department to behave in a way in which they are putting people in danger because they want to retaliate against a mayor that they don't like. They are paid to protect the people." But Crowley delivered a verbal stop-and-frisk to Mayor de Blasio. "You have a committed leftist as mayor of New York City who is totally driven by his ideology, that's why he hasn't changed his tune. If he had any common decency, he would start by apologizing to the police force. These cops cannot do their jobs without the full support of the mayor."

Guest:Jalen Rose
Sports announcer and former NBA star Jalen Rose entered the No Spin Zone with his take on the racial strife that is roiling parts of the country. "I respect the police and all public officials," he began, "and I don't think police start their day by saying, 'Hey, we're going to go harass as many blacks as we can today.' But when you have these unfortunate situations like Michael Brown and Eric Garner, a lot of people feel the system is letting them down. These encounters between armed police officers and unarmed individuals continue to take place in a country that had slavery and segregation, these relationships take time to repair." The Factor lauded Rose for establishing the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, an academically-oriented high school that emphasizes positive interactions between police and black teens.

Guests:Mary Anne Marsh & Howie Carr
Some Harvard professors are in a snit because their medical co-pays are rising, partly because of ObamaCare. Democratic strategist Mary Anne Marsh and conservative columnist Howie Carr elaborated on the situation. "The co-pay is going to rise to the astronomical amount of $20," Carr said sarcastically. "Most people would be happy with that, but the Harvard people are complaining. Apparently they believed it when Barack Obama said there would be a $2,500 cut in their premiums. They're the only ones in the country that actually believed it!" Marsh agreed that the Harvard profs are not engendering much public sympathy. "No one is going to feel bad for them, they still have 91% of their health care coverage covered. It is hypocritical, but none of this negates the need to lower health care costs." The Factor mocked the professors, saying, "They have cushy jobs and they're bitching about twenty bucks and a little bit of a deductible rise!"

Guest:John Stossel
Fox Business host John Stossel, a staunch libertarian, opined on the thus-far lackluster public response to his preferred GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul. "The polls go up and down," Stossel said, "and people like you trash him. Rand Paul is not an isolationist - he wants to trade overseas and spread the American way to other countries. He just doesn't want to bomb overseas and, when we do, he would like Congress to vote on it. I assume Americans like that idea and they will like Rand Paul's message of limited government." The Factor reminded Stossel that Dr. Ben Carson, a political neophyte, is polling higher than Rand Paul.

Guests:Kimberly Guilfoyle & Lis Wiehl
Prince Andrew, son of Queen Elizabeth, has been named in a lawsuit involving prostitution and underage girls. The Factor asked legal analysts Lis Wiehl and Kimberly Guilfoyle to explain. "Jeffrey Epstein is a hedge fund manager and financial adviser," Guilfoyle reported, "who was convicted of charges involving an underage girl. He had to register as a sex offender and he worked out a secret deal with the feds." Wiehl added that some very prominent men have been caught up in the scandal. "There are girls who are saying it wasn't just one time or one guy, it was Prince Andrew and Professor Alan Dershowitz. That's what they allege, but Dershowitz claims this is defamation and there is no proof." The legal aces turned to the Shakespearian fall of Bob McDonnell, the former Republican Governor of Virginia who was convicted on eleven counts of public corruption. "He was sentenced to two years," Wiehl said, "and he will serve most of that time. His wife will also be sentenced in February, but two years is not enough."

Guest:Michael Maslansky
The Factor welcomed public relations consultant Michael Maslansky, who talked about the power and ubiquity of Google. "'Google' is now a verb," he pointed out, "and we use it every day to talk about how we find things. But Google doesn't check everything, they make a lot of choices about how search results come up. The Internet is just not fact checked - you can go on to Google and find any facts you want." The Factor concluded, with a trace of wistfulness, "Encyclopedias and dictionaries are obsolete, Google has cornered the market in any kind of information you want."

Ann Klipstine, Valpariso, IN: "Mr. O, I really wanted to hear what David Duke had to say but you constantly interrupted. Don't give me the crap that he wasn't answering the questions."

Carlo Salzano, Arlington, VA: "Mr. O'Reilly, great debate with Duke. Deep reminding liberals that they accept the likes of Sharpton, who mirrors David Duke."

Hank, Traverse City, MI: "Bill, you shouted down Duke and did not allow him to speak. My wife and I will find something else to do at 8 PM."

Dr. Calvin Ennis, Pascagoula, MI: "O'Reilly, thanks for letting Duke rant. In the end, he showed his true colors: anti-semitic and anti-black."
