Will Kate's Law Pass in Washington?
After the killing of 32-year-old Kate Steinle by an illegal immigrant in San Francisco in July, The Factor proposed Kate's Law. Kate's Law states that any illegal alien convicted of an aggravated felony who is deported and then returns to the U.S.A. would face a mandatory five year prison sentence at the very least.
The Factor analyzed whether the bill will pass Congress:
"Now, most fair-minded Americans support Kate's Law because it not only punishes dangerous foreign criminals but it gives law enforcement the tools to break up foreign gangs," The Factor said. "Many of their members have aggravated felony convictions and have been deported. So drug gangs from Mexico, El Salvador, on and on would be disseminated by federal authorities and quickly. They just snatch them out.
"If any politician votes against Kate's Law, they could have major problems. I mean how crazy would you have to be to vote against a law that protects Americans from violent foreign criminals and allows authorities to break up violent gangs? Again, if this law doesn't pass, it's hopeless in D.C."

Trump's Tax Plan
Guests: Donald Trump
Donald Trump returned to Fox News on The Factor tonight, and The Factor pressed him on which loopholes he'd close in his tax plan.
"How about deductions for private jets -- are they knocked out?" The Factor asked
"Well, if they use it in business it's a business tool," Trump said.
"All right," The Factor said. "So you're not getting that knocked out. How about season tickets at the Yankees?"
"If it's used for business, we are not knocking that out because that really is something having to do with business," Trump said. "You take people to games, to take people to whatever you are doing. But that's a positive thing. That's a positive thing for the economy."

Fairness in the Political Field
Guests: Donald Trump
Trump returned for a second segment, and The Factor asked if it was fair to ask if Trump needed to be more mature.
"Well, I think it's fair," Trump said. "I think the word 'mature' is not appropriate. But I think it's certainly fair. I think that you know, as you know, I'm leading every poll and most polls I'm leading very big in New Hampshire, in Iowa. If you look at what just came down, South Carolina the polls -- all number one. So I can't be so doing so badly.
"But it's not going to be a question of nice. I think I'm a nice person. I have great relationships. You know me well. I help people, I love people. But it's not going to be a question of that. It's going to be a question of competence because people are tired of being pushed around by every country in the world."

Planned Parenthood Battle
Guests: Kirsten Powers
Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards faced an intense grilling from GOP House members Tuesday. The Factor asked Kirsten Powers why Planned Parenthood remained somewhat popular in polls despite videos showing their sale of parts of aborted babies.
"Because they have been traditionally a very popular organization precisely because they have billed themselves as this place that provides women's healthcare," Powers said.
"So you don't think that people have caught up with this yet?" The Factor asked.
"I don't think so. And if you remember they often talk about how only 3 percent of their services are abortion," Powers said. "In the hearing today actually Cecile Richards admitted that something like 89 percent of the revenues come from abortion.

Jail Time for Woman Who Helped Prisoners Escape
Guests:Lis Wiehl & Kimberly Guilfoyle
The legal ladies weighed in on Joyce Mitchell, who helped two convicted murders escape from a New York prison, getting just 2 1/3 to seven years in prison.
"You know, I think it's very de minimis to say the least," Guilfoyle said. "She could have gotten more. I mean, look, they probably had other factors and psychological reports to factor in."

Greg and Bernard had some fun with Russian President Vladimir Putin visiting the Big Apple for the United Nations General Assembly.
Gutfeld joked that he ran into Putin at a bar.
"He was shirtless, dancing right on the bar," Gutfeld said. "I woke up later. I have no memory, but I have to say that we had a great time."

Threats against the Police
Guests:Jeanine Pirro & Leo Terrell
A woman in Georgia has been arrested for making videos where she makes threats against police officers. A judge gave her no bail, and Judge Jeanine thinks that's just fine.
"A lot of these statutes have changed that allow for judges to set no bail where there is a significant threat to the community or to an individual," Pirro said. "What you've got are speech crimes right now -- criminal solicitation and terroristic threat. When you are calling people to immediate action, a particular segment of the community, and you're calling upon them -- and by the way, the first thing I want to know is where she got the gun that she uses in the video and whether it's legal. But when you do that, that is criminal across the country."
Attorney Leo Terell disagreed, arguing she should have been allowed to post bail.
"This woman has no rap sheet at all," Terrell said. "Bill, all of this is hate speech, we see that all the time with a Klan speech, Nazi speech, this is hate speech. And hate speech, no matter how horrible it is, it's constitutionally protected. There's no criminal act."

Factor Viewers Sound Off
Larry House, Simi Valley, California: "Mr. O, I am a heavily tattooed, conservative retired police officer who is also a BillOReilly.com premium member. I'd just like to point out that the tattooed folks seemed smarter than Watters."
Professor Dave Trouten, New Brunswick, Canada: "O'Reilly, I appreciated the quote from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in your tip. I urge my students to rise above simply collecting information to seek knowledge as well."
Carl Mattson, Lone Tree, Colorado: "Mr. O, I have enjoyed all the 'Killing' books and just finished Killing Reagan. It reminded me why I voted for him and why he was one of our greatest presidents. I hope people will read Killing Reagan to provide perspective in electing our next leader."

Using the English Language to Your Advantage
"If you speak well, you command respect in the market place. If you use words like, like 18 times in a sentence, you like are considered, like, a semi-moron. That's why we do the word of the day to give you guys some new verbal ammo. One of the most interesting parts of the English language are the insults, not stuff like idiot or fool but words like dander head, troglodyte -- I also tell folks not to be a pantywaist. Ooo! Pantywaist. Sounds kind of anti-PC, doesn't it? Because of what it means.
"In the early part of the 20th century, many babies wore one piece shirts and pants that snapped together. The garment was called a pantywaist. So the insult, using the word, means babyish or weak behavior. And tonight, somebody wines in your presence, tell them not to be a pantywaist."
