byron york is here. byron, these are two big guys in the democratic party?greta: what is this report? >> it's pretty bad. they did focus group research in clump bus ohio, and outside of philadelphia, ohio. they gathered people who had -- wowere not overly political. they were independents or they split the ticket. they were half and half between obama and mccain supporters in '08. basically what they found is that president obam's key economic message, which is we inherited a tential mess but we have made a lot of progress and created 4 million jobs and people things are getting better, people hate hated it -- >> greta: hated or didn't believe it. >> they were irritated. people are experts in their own economic condition and they weren't seeing that progress in their own lives and they were telling carville and greenberg that over and over again. so every time the president said that, they said, i don't see this. my friends don't see t. we don't see it. we are struggling. even when the president cited progress in saving the auto industry, they said, that's g

. >> byron york did a great article about this comparing it to the book that came out about george bushalled fortunate son that has information about him allegedly using cocaine in his 20s that was treated as if it was just this absolutely credible book and turns out the writer had a felon who tried to blow somebody up. and they had no problem taking that and yet when you have the credible, you know, journalists reporting something it is being completely ignored. >> idealogical apartheid. bill o'reilly wrote a book, i it don't think it was reviewed by the new york times. a lot don't make the list because they are not in the right stores or b, if they do they are totally ignored. they would never do this as you have pointed out with books that affirm their idealodge eckal perspective. >> one book called american grown and the author is the first lady michelle obama. for just 30 bucks you, too, can have this book. she has been all over the place peddling this, jim. >> she has. and look, let's face it, obesity, food, these are huge issues. robin roberts giving him 38 minutes as the mrc car

byron york, "washington examiner", fox news contributor.yron, good morning to you. >> good morning, bill. bill: refresh the memories of everyone. what did holder suggest this week during the hearing in washington? >> there was contentious hearing on capitol hill. republicans complained he did not talk to them very much specifically about fast an furious. he said, wait a minute i come up here and testified all the time you can ask me anything you want. we have all kinds of justice department issues. very little time to talk about "fast and furious". the question now will he might with them and what will they discuss before this threatened contempt vote happens? i'll tell you, if you listen to republicans, talk to republicans they say what they really want is not more face time with eric holder. they want those documents. bill: they want documents they have not been able to access yet. they complain the documents that they do have pale in comparison to the number available and ones redacted. entire pages blacked out. trey gowdy house member o

byron york, chief political correspondent of the "washington examiner."prised by the numbers? >> well, you know, it seems that president obama is having a patch. succumbing to a terrible job number last month. things didn't look like they would get better. he is having an uptick. this is still within the margin of error. romney to go up with if independents. that is the biggest change. plan to improve the economy, this is going to increase cause among conservatives who are begging romney to do more than just say the economy fai failed. so has president obama. >> bret: people out there will say this is one poll. another poll is sum. it's very tight. but again, a shift in independents as well. the real clear average is tight. average of the poll. what do you think? >> poking a hole in the washington based conventionm wisdom that obama is stumbling. many people look at this in washington and say wow, he has had a bad week. how can he be doing okay? it vindicates the obama campaign for example the polls in the 12 swing states show he is doing well. when he at

. >> greta: washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york joins us with the latest.. >> in september of 2010 they published the 100 recovery act projects changing america. abound was is number 17. they had a lot of hope for it. they got 400 million north dakota loan guarantees but it hasn't been performing up to speed for quite awhile. it only got $70 million of the money. the question is is all of that going to be lost. >> one thing the private investors knocking down the doors to invest. they are looking for a place to place money. the second thing is this power is a pretty dumb business decision because it has gone belly up as solyndra. the third thing is i would like to be alternative energy and be successful and get off our dependence on foreign oil but when you keep having stupid business decisions and tell the american people that solar energy is a lousy thing to do, he is killing the solar energy, any possibility that we can develop it. killing it. >> this is another building mitt romney can stand in front of and have a press conference. another issue in the

byron york in d.c.. >> thank you, martha. gregg: governor romney playing to his strengths during a rally in saint lies telling voters there the current leadership has failed on the economy. >> i don't believe, by the way, it was done with evil intent or ill will but for a family that watches their house get foreclosed or a family forced to spend their kids college savings to make ends meet the results are just as same and just as devastating. gregg: governor romney also saying that our government has an absolute moral responsibility to help every american help him or herself. he argues that commitment has been broken. martha: how about this? former president bill clinton backtracking big-time after getting off message for the obama campaign. earlier this week he made headlines for saying that he was in favor of the temporarily extending all the bush-era tax cuts all the way up the economic line. president obama does not support that idea. he wants them to expire for those making over 200,000 or 250,000 for a couple. mr. clint

. >> alex, byron york made an interesting point. he says that the romney campaign is afraid of doing any kind of disavowing of the bloviating ignoramus donald trump or anyone else because figures who -- byron says figures demanding a trump disavowal would lead to more calls for more disavowals of other figures in the future. like, for example, rush limbaugh who is bound to say something within the next fortnight that should be condemned. >> i think this is a gross -- it's an unsurprising and gross miscalculation on the part of team romney. again, this is a fear-driven decisionmaking process which is we can't alienate anybody on the right, in the base or we'll have problems at the polls. terrified of having mitt romney plant a flag in the ground and say this is wrong. offered this opportunity time and time again whether it's sandra or donald and he's proven to be i hate to say it a coward in going out to say he has some core and integrity. whether he's offered opportunities like there before november, hopefully he will take the baton

host: let me show you byron york this morning -- guest: president obama is trying to win wisconsin in a presidential election year and the recall has repercussions for november and repercussions for the state of organized labor and the democratic party and wisconsin. president obama realizes that to be able to win wisconsin, he has to win over independent voters. there are not a lot of people who have not made up their minds in this recall election but the white house realizes they will meet people who are supporting scott walker or maybe who are not voting yet on the recall in favor of tom barrett and they will need those votes. president obama has cut its tv ads and they feel like they'll take a hit. president obama in 2010 when and campaigned for democratic elected officials or candidates and did not work out that well. the white house has a hands-off policy. they think this is the fight of organized labor. host: not a whole lot of polling and wisconsin but there was a market university poll that showed governor walker ahead slightly. in that sample, the president right now, it sho

and byron york chief correspondent, and a fox news contributor.t did you make of what the house minority leader said there. >> when she says there a national scheme that is one step away from a conspiracy theory. this is truly bizarre, because it's eric holder's justice department that is not following federal law. julie fernandez, one of eric holder's deputies told a one head a couple years ago, we are not going to enforce federal law for states to cleanup voter roles. even places have more voters than people over age 18. this is a complete inversion of what the facts are. i find this as stopb i shalling. 80% of the people support this law. i guess 80% of the people in nancy pelosi apartments view are supporting voter suppression, which is shaeupbg. bill: she says it's part of a plan on behalf of republicans, a shameful display of abuse of power. it's no accident, it's no coincidence. what about that. >> representative treygowdy was on greta's show last night and called pelosi's statements mind- numbing lee stupid. republicans started inquiring a

byron york is here, a fox news contributor. great to have you here. >> thanks for having me, i have heard it suggested that we should watch this race very closely because whatever happens in wisconsin may impact the presidential election, do you agree? >> it will be a very important swing state in november. barack obama won it in 2008. if mitt romney could pull off the victory in wisconsin, it would probably mean he would win the presidency. so it's important on that score. it's a big deal for democrats right now. think back to the protests, last year, when scott walker proposed curtailing some collective bargaining powers. they were long, they were loud, they were angry. and democrats have put a lot of effort into trying to recall scott walker. so if the governor can survive on tuesday and the polls look pretty good for him right now, that would be an enormous win for the republicans and a defeat for democrats and their union allies. >> jamie: many people in wisconsin say, though, that overall, governor walker's policies have

byron joins us in new york.ow did we do with the $9 billion expenditure or renewable energy. >> doing great as long as you consider $2 million a job a return. we've had many of these energy department programs that were in stimulus where the administration spent billions of dollars, especially on green energy projects, and the job production figures have just been almost miniscule. the government has spent millions of dollars to create each job, and that's what we have in this new report. >> so it seems to me with this investment there are two things looking for. jobs wanted, and doesn't seem we are doing particularly well for jobs. $19 billion jobs that cost $9.8 million each. but the other, the actual product sort of like leaps and bounds we developed renewable energy that relieved us of our dependence on foreign oil. has it at least paid off that way? >> here's the deal. there's a new study by the national renewable energy laboratory, part of the department of energy. it looked into a program called the 1603
