"A new poll from Quinnipiac shows that Americans trust Fox News more than any other TV news agency by a substantial margin. MSNBC came in last. Those holding political power know that Fox News is dominating the electronic information flow. A few months ago David Axelrod approached The Factor through his agent, asking if we would do the first cable news interview on his book. I told him sure, we would have a lively, respectful discussion, which we did. To show his gratitude, Axelrod began trashing Fox News, saying we are not a real news organization. The fact is that Fox News is now a deep threat to the progressive movement and the far-left despises us. So they are in full attack mode, desperately trying to marginalize FNC. Enter Hillary Clinton, who wants to be president. Her team knew The New York Times was sniffing around the email story. John Podesta, a long-time political mercenary, left his job advising President Obama to begin working for Hillary Clinton. He brought with him a history of associations, including one with Media Matters, the chief attack vehicle for the left. Media Matters is run by David Brock and heavily funded by George Soros. When the email story broke, he went on MSNBC to proclaim Mrs. Clinton's innocence. Few heard him. The Clinton campaign and Podesta understand there are just two national news agencies that challenge the progressive agenda with authority - the Wall Street Journal editorial page and the Fox News Channel. Then there's the business side. MSNBC and CNN are getting hammered economically by Fox News, so those agencies are hungry to participate in the attack. So hating Fox News is about competition, power, and money at the highest levels. If FNC did not exist, America would be a different place and the far-left would have a far easier time. But we dominate the primetime news cycle, which is not good news for progressive politicians, the liberal media, and crazed zealots on both sides. Therefore, meetings are held, strategies devised, and political assassins hired. Is there any doubt for whom they are aiming?"

The Factor pursued the phenomenon of Fox hatred with Charles Krauthammer. "The essence of the hatred for Fox News," he said, "is the fact that Fox News broke the liberal monopoly on the news. The one thing that monopolists can't stand is competition, and what they really can't stand is competition that is successful. What liberals are intolerant of is that they had a monopoly on the culture. They control television news, they control the universities, they control Hollywood, and they control the majority of the foundations. They can't stand that there are three areas of competition - Fox News, two pages of the Wall Street Journal, and talk radio."

Guests:Jennice Fuentes & Dana Perino
The Clinton Foundation has accepted donations from foreign nations that routinely suppress women. Also, Hillary Clinton is under fire for using a private email account for all her State Department correspondence. Republican Dana Perino and Democrat Jennice Fuentes opined on whether damage is being done to Clinton's presidential ambitions. "The most important thing for the Clintons is to get their facts straight," Perino said. "Over the past weeks the White House and the State Department have tried to answer questions about these stories, and then they've been proven wrong as facts come out." Fuentes contended that the foundation story is much ado about very little. "This is only a story because they are being very transparent and all of the information is on the foundation's website. They don't even take anonymous donations." But The Factor argued that Clinton will be hurt if the revelations keep coming. "The email story becomes problematic if it's a drip, drip, drip situation and more information comes out."

Guests:Juan Williams & Mary Katharine Ham
The parodists of Saturday Night Live pilloried Hillary Clinton last weekend, mocking her for those private email accounts. The Factor invited Juan Williams and Mary Katharine Ham to opine on the situation. "If this were a Republican," Ham theorized, "this would be more serious because the media would treat it differently. This is blatantly and obviously unethical, it's an issue about how she would govern. And it's patently Clinton-like in its shadiness." Williams insisted that the White House and President Obama are totally in the clear. "They told her this is not what she could do. The Obama administration met with cabinet secretaries and made it very clear about emails, but she chose to have her own private email."

Guest:Michael Weiss
Are the savages of ISIS now on the defensive? The Factor posed that question to author Michael Weiss, who has written extensively about ISIS. "They're losing tactically in Iraq," he asserted. "They are almost certain to lose the battle of Tikrit, which has yet to begin in earnest. There are about 20,000 to 30,000 Shi'a militia members backed by Iran, and the guy leading the offensive is a terrorist and an enemy of the U.S. We are completely discombobulated - Iran has taken over five capitals in the Middle East, and we are doing nothing to stop that." The Factor lamented that America is completely out of the picture: "Iraq, which we fought so hard to win, has now been given over to Iran. It's a sphere of influence of Iran."

Guest:Megyn Kelly
34 states are suing the federal government over Obamacare, which has proved a boon for attorneys. Megyn Kelly elaborated on the complaints. "When the feds set up ObamaCare," she explained, "they believed every state would set up its own exchange because that's the only way you'll get subsidies. They didn't anticipate that states would say 'screw your subsidies' and didn't set up the exchanges. Now the states are challenging because they are being forced to take the subsidies, and if they're right this law is going to fall apart." The Factor predicted that the survival of ObamaCare may well come down to one Supreme Court justice, saying, "Four liberals on the court want ObamaCare, and Anthony Kennedy will be the swing vote."

Guest:Jesse Watters
Jesse Watters crossed the Hudson River to talk with some police officers about the current mood among cops. A few of them pointedly expressed their disgust with the "hands up don't shoot" protests. "I don't come to work with any type of intentional bias" ... "It's 100% inaccurate." The men and women in blue were also unhappy with President Obama. "It's not very encouraging when the guy in the White House is not behind you" ... "It's unprecedented for a sitting president to openly criticize 900,000 law enforcement officials across the country."

Kathy Hearne, Billingham, WA: "I laughed out loud at Bernie Goldberg lecturing us about how liberal TV lectures us. You conservatives have no sense of irony."

Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA: "I disagree with Bernie that people watch the news to be entertained. I want to be informed and am on FNC."

Laurie Rogers, Urbandale, IA: "Bernie says people want their ideas validated. No, they want their ideas voiced."

Rosario D'Larre, Mocksville, NC: "I'm 72 and score well on the BillOReilly.com quizzes because I am a well-read Mexican American."

"Killing Jesus" has been translated into Chinese and Korean and is now available to more than a billion people in the Far East.
