"A new poll on the New York primary on April 19th shows hometown boy Donald Trump leads leading at 52%, with John Kasich at 25% and Ted Cruz at 17%. If that holds, Mr. Trump will get most of the New York delegates and he will again have momentum. The disadvantage for Mr. Cruz is the 'New York values' debate. In January the senator said New York values are 'pro-abortion or pro- gay-marriage, focus around money and the media.' Now Trump is using that statement to hammer Cruz. The truth is that New York City values are very left wing, but the rest of the state lines up fairly conservative. However, as in any state, New Yorkers are sensitive, so the senator has to overcome his initial comments. New York is a different kind of place, especially because there are nearly 20 million people in the metropolitan area. With that many folks you have to be more aggressive, and some consider that to be rude. The Democratic Party is firmly in control of New York State. Even though Donald Trump is likely to win the Republican primary here, he will have a very tough time in New York against Hillary Clinton in the general election. As for Ted Cruz, he is a conservative Texan who now has to convince jaded New Yorkers that he is not denigrating them, that he was simply pointing out Donald Trump's past history of giving donations to people like Hillary Clinton and Governor Andrew Cuomo. But Mr. Trump did that as a real estate guy and in this city business people have to spread the money around if they want to get things done. Talking Points believes Donald Trump is a conservative, although not nearly as right wing as Mr. Cruz is. Bottom line: If Ted Cruz wants to keep Donald Trump below 50% in New York, he's got a lot of hard work to do."

The Factor spoke about the 'New York values' ruckus with the man who got it all started, presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz. "People across New York and across the country know exactly what 'New York values' means," he insisted. "Those are the values of liberal Democratic politicians who are hammering this state. People stop me every day to say they know exactly what I meant, they're fed up with what liberal Democrats are doing to the people of New York. Governor Andrew Cuomo actually said that if you are pro-life and in favor of traditional marriage and support the Second Amendment, there is no place for you in New York. Donald Trump has been funding this year after year, he is part of the corruption." The Factor gave Cruz some unsolicited advice: "Hold a press conference in Penn Station, where people can see what has happened to that place under uber-liberal Mayor Bill de Blasio."

FNC's Geraldo Rivera and Eric Bolling analyzed Ted Cruz's chances in New York State. "Ted Cruz should pack it up and leave New York," Bolling asserted. "He should concentrate on Pennsylvania and Maryland and the other states that have primaries the following week. Donald Trump lost Wisconsin, but in one day he took back the news cycle with a big rally." Rivera was even harsher, accusing Cruz of anti-Jewish bias. "I don't think Cruz will break 15%, he will get routed and deservedly so. I see stinking anti-Semitic implications in that 'New York values' money and media coded message, and he also voted against relief for Hurricane Sandy victims and against compensation for 9/11 victims. His values are antithetical to New York." The Factor objected, saying, "I don't think he is anti-Semitic and I didn't see that implication."

Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have been hammering one another, questioning each other's qualifications to be president. Dana Perino, co-host of 'The Five,' analyzed the escalating war of words. "When Bernie Sanders says she is not qualified," Perino said, "that is demonstrably false. I think a stronger point would be to attack her where she is most vulnerable, on trustworthiness and honesty. But Bernie Sanders has never been willing to do that, which says to me that he doesn't think he can win." Perino also commented on Bill Clinton's verbal dustup with protesters from Black Lives Matter. "Black Lives Matter is going back to 1996 when Bill Clinton was president and Hillary Clinton helped him pass anti-crime legislation. Bill Clinton told it like it is, but I don't know if Hillary Clinton's supporters in the black community will like it."

The Department of Homeland Security insists that the southern border is more secure than ever, but Border Patrol agents say they are being told to ignore lawbreakers. FNC's Eric Shawn went to the Mexico-Arizona border to administer some truth serum. "The Border Patrol union," he reported, "claims agents are under orders from Washington release illegals by not giving them 'notice to appear' summonses that should send them to a deportation judge." A Border Patrol union official told Shawn, "You can't even find out if they have murdered or raped or molested minors in Mexico." Shawn added that Homeland Security calls those claims inaccurate and says arrests are up 25% this year." The Factor concluded, "This whole thing has to be reorganized and the next president will have to deal with it."

Earlier this week CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl told The Factor that most reporters are not biased against conservatives. FNC's Bernie Goldberg found that assertion questionable. "Lesley Stahl left out a whole lot," he said, "because everyone knows that reporters are by and large tougher on Republicans than on Democrats. That's because they share the same values as liberal Democrats." Goldberg also observed that journalists are often confused and befuddled by Donald Trump's candidacy. "Reporters don't cover Donald Trump the way they cover other candidates. He's vulgar, thin-skinned, nastier than he has to be, and lazy when it comes to studying up on the issues. He's a political alien."

Jesse Watters headed down the New Jersey Turnpike to Princeton University, where he spoke with some very sensitive students. Here is what some had to say about the word 'ghetto': "I feel like people should be more careful in their choice of words" ... "I probably wouldn't use the word" ... "It's that kind of elitism and classism and snobbery that dehumanizes people." The students were also not fond of 'Islamic terrorism, and of course the Ivy Leaguers were quite offended by the very name Donald Trump: "He is an offensive man" ... "He offends me because he offends people I care about" ... "He says offensive and abrasive things."

James Witt, Roanoke, VA: "Bill, Donald Trump not appearing on The Factor has nothing to do with Charles Krauthammer. It has to do with the challenge made by Ted Cruz to a one-on-one debate."

Sue Atkenson, Palos Park, IL: "Trump is totally right about Krauthammer's bias against him. True, you do put on pro-Trump guests, Bill. But Krauthammer is on almost every night."

Laura Pairis, Murrieta, CA: "Bill, you know Trump is being unjustly maligned. So do the honorable thing and extol the virtues of Donald."

Ron Johnston, Kettering, OH: "O'Reilly, you predicted Cruz would select John Kasich as V.P. Your opinion only. Your job is to analyze."
