thank you. >> bill: moments ago byron york and jonathan turley and gillian turner and bill hemmer heresor turley, can a judge find, because it's a civil matter and there is no jury, can trump's lawyers make the case successfully that she is a biased party in this? because they've said for years that she ran on a campaign to get donald trump. >> it's very hard to make that argument bias. i previously brought a selective prosecution motion against a prosecutor and i must tell you, the judges don't like it. they don't want to be pulled into these political issues, much like the statements were made in front of the courthouse. so i expect they will be given a rather short leash, if any leash at all, to make those types of arguments. we're past that stage now. the court is saying i'm here to determine what are the consequences of the of these actions. if you have a political argument to make, go back out onto the stairs of the courthouse. but i also want to note that james' comments ignore one thing. he ran for office on the pledge to bag donald trump. she didn't say on what grounds. she ra

let's bring in a byron york chief political correspondent for the washington examiner and a fox news or. byron, the president did not like bidenomics as a term when it is first introduced by our corporate cousins of the wall street journal. all of a sudden he is now embracing it, why? >> work she probably felt he had no choice. you are right there's an article in the wall street journal in an opinion article is quite critical of what it called bidenomics back in june. the president said i didn't do that i'm not the source of this i don't hear about it. then later he began to embrace it. if you go to the white house website you will see there's lots of speeches. he has mentioned bidenomics to take credit for what he says are his economic accomplishments. the staff is using bidenomics a lot. the only problem is via poll after poll after poll showing the american people are very unhappy with the state of the economy. now president biden is going out and giving that situation his own name. jon: i want to put up a couple of polls. first about people in america believe we should party they

elizabeth: let's well to the show washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york. ee you again. what did you make of the media's disturbing rush no judgment, quick to -- rush to judgment blaming israel for the bombing of the hospital when hamas is caught on tape taking credit for it and the administration says hamas did it? >> well, there are a couple of parts to my reaction. one was that this was just an ideological-biased reaction that they had. and, two, was the sheer lack of professionalism in this. you're a journalist. you hear there's within an explosion at the hospital and 500 people are dead. i mean, they said 500 people were dead before we ever knew anything else about it. how did they find that out? you should be skeptical about that at the beginning. and then you have a group that has given out a lot of, a lot of unreliable information in the past, and you think, well, do we believe their account of it? you should actually be skeptical of what the idf says as well. but if you'd just waited a few hours, you would see evidence coming in that was conclusioni

byron york is with me this morning. byron, this is because of his support for israel, i guess.s highlights really the split in the democratic party, doesn't it? >> it does, and it's particularly problematic for the president among younger democrats who were more likely to be pro-palestinian, more likely to oppose israel after the hamas attack on israel. so that's a problem for the president, there's no doubt about it. as a matter of fact, it just happens to come on day that a representative not very well known, dane phillips from minnesota, is actually going to the declare his candidacy against joe biden, the first what alling call main treatment democratic challenge to president biden. stuart: in what way does this divided party impose itself on president biden's policy options? >> well, you know, i think one of the extraordinary the things we've seen about biden white house is that how sort of out of touch the president is with the number of trends in his party. and as far as the mideast is concerned, with a lot of reality. the president came out on wednesday at is the ceremo

(gentle music) jon: our coverage of the war and israel continues now if you are just joining us here's a look at headlines for a president biden spoke with prime minister benjamin netanyahu today to discuss israel's ongoing efforts to free the 239 hostages known to be held by hamas. israel has dropped leaflets on the gaza strip asking for civilians to surrender to its military. this leaflets written in arabic say hamas leaders are exploiting you. and foreign minister slammed

byron york, chief political correspondent for t "the washington examiner" and "u.s.a.francesca chambers. all right, francesca, this has been something to watch and the white house is trying to figure out how to talk about it i would argue not effectively today. >> it was unforced error, it would seem. it took up most of the white house press briefing today as they got pressed on this. and this is important for biden moving forward because he wants money for ukraine aid but he is coming under heavy heat from house republicans in particular who say that they want border security in addition to that. so this isn't just a one day story over the border wall. this is something that could come back to hit the administration as they go back into spending fight. >> bret: here is karine jean-pierre and peter doocy exchanging on the biden promise. i said this will not be another foot of wall constructed in my administration. so something changed. what? >> you want us to break the law? is that what you want? you want us to not comply with the law? >> >> peter: i'm asking. >> you w

washington examiner correspondent byron york. your reaction to today's event?e haven't seen this in more than a century. >> we haven't. we haven't seen even then they didn't remove the speaker and matt gates, he's pulled off probably the greatest moment in american history. the problem is now is the time the dog has to concede against and doesn't know what to do next. the rebels here never really had a plan of action should they succeed and i think it's going to be pretty clear in the debate that's going to follow. for all we can tell what we will see is a replay of what we saw several days in january when it took 15 ballots to finally choose mccarthy as speaker mccarthy himself may be a candidate in these votes and it may him up the same way in january which is after a long cumulating process. >> but the house is in chaos. >> this removal is a huge accomplishment. ten, 223422 republicans managed to pull this off. >> andy biggs, nancy mason, bob good joining those who said no to speaker mccarthy from the republican side. bill mcgurn, where you come in on this?

let's bring in our panel, byron york, chief political correspondent of "the washington examiner." ent francesca chambers and josh kraushaar, fox news radio political analyst. byron, what about this? the fallout from that strike last night, and what we're seeing on the ground in israel today. >> as far as the fallout from the strike last night, you know, yesterday, jacqui heinrich at the white house and jennifer griffin at the pentagon were asking the officials there, what are you going to do? you say you are going to retaliate, so have we seen this yet? what are we going to see? they said oh, you just wait, it will be at the time and place of our choosing. see what it was a pin prick. you could hear the frustration in general keane's voice. the united states hasn't done anything because it's not going to deter iran. that's the point of it is to deter iran and it's not. as far as israel itself, you know, tomorrow it will be three weeks since the hamas attack. we have just been waiting and waiting and waiting, it appears that something is about to start that truly will be at the time

bring in byron york.rshall, democratic strategist and josh kraushaar a fox news radio political analyst. josh, what do you make of that? >> well, there is a little bit of tone deafness from the biden administration's response. they have been pretty strong in their support for israel and at the same time they have been urging caution in private and, look, from israel's perspective the main goal is to take out hamas, to engage in what is going to be very bloody, very, very difficult invasion in all likelihood in the coming days of a very, very difficult territory. and, look, there is need to think about what gaza is going to look like in the future. and that certainly has been a message from white house leaders and from john kirby at the briefing today. but i think there is a disconnect between what the united states wants and some of the israeli press have called it a bear hug, that they're very closely aligned with israel in public but in private they are con strange the israeli response and maybe offerin

let's bring in our panel fox news senior political analyst juan williams, byron york, chief politicaliner" and kimberley strassel a member of the editorial board at the "wall street journal." kimberley, what do you think about this speech? so far we are hearing it's going to have a big price tag of an ask from congress for both israel and funding but also ukraine. and maybe taiwan and maybe the border. >> it's going to be a need to be a big speech for that reason to believe. here's what has been missing all along. we have seen since joe biden has been in office the world tipping toward more disorder. and the president has chosen his spots, tried to be very forceful. talking about ukraine, democracy, et cetera. what he has failed to do is make the u.s. national interest for involvement in this. which, by the way is there, it's strong. it's compelling. but he just simply has not made that connection or forged a biden doctrine as it were that addresses these different pieces of the world. and if he is going to go congress and ask for this much money, he has to start making that case. why

byron york and the aforementioned olivia beavers congressional reporter for politico.found out how it is going to come to pass. and taking out of the irs funding is really something that is sorts of a hat tip to the right side of the house republican caucus. >> it certainly is. and it's coming after trying to figure out what kind of speaker mike johnson is going to be after he got elected last week. this is sort of throwing red meat to some of the more conservative hardliners in his conference. but it's also the more politically divisive way to approach it. so, senator chuck schumer might house and that could further delay it. as we know, we have a lot coming down the pike in these next two weeks including keeping the government funded. a very busy time on capitol hill. >> u.s. support for israel in the war with hamas does the u.s. have a responsibility to support israel. 52% say it does. 44% does not. as far as support for ukraine funding, fox poll, it has dropped pretty significantly. if you look at this over the months. and that, obviously, is a split in the republi

we are bringing in byron york, chief political correspondent at the "washington examiner" and fox news contributor. byron, start with what the president talked about in terms of the new speaker, what did you make of his comments. >> he just walked off at the end. as far as the new speaker is concerned, i think he's careful because to the degree that president biden says removing kevin mccarthy was a bad thing, more republicans will think it was a good thing. so i think he probably sees he has a perfectly negative influence on anything that goes on among house republicans. and so he's basically staying out of it. and above the pay grade was a pretty good joke. >> gillian: i thought it was funny. >> it's above everybody's pay grade. >> john: put up on the screen the possible folks who could replace the speaker. majority leader steve scalise as my esteemed colleague just pointed out has just thrown his hat into the ring, saying now more than ever mend the deep wounds in the conference to get back to work for the millions counting on us, that sense and responsibility i'm seeking the confer

byron york, they have chosen a nominee, byron, but do they -- does scalise have the votes to get it without going to another 15 votes? >> well, you know, that is -- that is the question, chad was saying that republicans really, really want to avoid a replay of what happened in january in which the party was in disapray going through 15 ballots to choose speaker. it appears they could be headed toward something like that right now. if you look at the vote that sca scalise won, 113-99, that does not add up to 217 and that's if everybody who didn't vote for scalise immediately votes for scalise. so, chad was outlining a scenario, there might be some votes for a few other candidates including jim jordan, maybe even kevin mccarthy, and you don't get to 217 meaning in the full house you go to 1, 2, 3, 4, ballots. >> sandra: some updates here from the hill, rep kevin hern, republican from oklahoma, says he expects a floor vote for speaker as soon as 3:00 today for house speaker after this nomination of scalise. he also said he's announcing a run for majority leader. byron, as far as the next speak

byron york with me this morning.as will make much of the destruction of gaza and all the civilian casualties that are likely. will they lose political support? >> well, if this goes like previous conflicts have gone, there will be a fair amount of protest in the international media about what is, what will be called a disproportionate response by israel. and in the end, you'll have a situation in which the basic structure there; that is, hamas if centered in what gaza, has not actually changed. now, this attack was so big and so dramatic that you're hearing many calls in israel and elsewhere for the complete elimination of hamas. we don't know what the israeli government is planning to do. we're hearing a ground operation which could be incredibly costly is about to start. but we don't know. and the u.s. government is concerned with things like getting u.s. citizens who want to leave out of israel. stuart: but this morning in tel aviv defense secretary austin was asked directly would america's military fight alongsid
