byron? i think the white house has always thought the most serious one for them politically is the irs scandal because the irs touches almost everyone's lives. we almost all have some sort of yearly contact with the irs, and a lot of americans are scared of the irs. so to see blatant political abuse of the irs by the administration is something i think that's going to worry a lot of people and do things like damage the credibility of the irs, upcoming irs role in enforcing obama care, going to play a huge role in that. republicans have paid attention to benghazi. it is a life and death issue, and also after that attack, the administration kept up this claim that it wasn't a terrorist attack, it was some sort of spontaneous reaction to an anti-muslim video, which just kind of disappeared as the facts came out. so republicans are going to keep pressing these things. i think the white house probably still views the irs as the most serious one. >> so in terms of republicans pressing, i've had vi

abc's byron pitts joins us, now, by phone from cairo. byron? >> reporter: good morning, john and tai, from cairo. it's quiet now. but few people here expect that will last. tahrir square, the epicenter of the change and chaos in egypt is virtually empty at this hour. we expect it to fill up soon, as men, women and children by the thousands arrive for friday prayer. today will be the first real test of the leadership of the country put in place yesterday. interim president adly mansour was sworn in thursday morning here. today, it will announce constitutional changes and quite possibly will name the new prime minister. he was put in power by the egyptian military, who insisted they were only responding to the will of the people. egyptians by the millions went to the street demanding for the removal of president mohamed morsi, the country's first democratically-elected president. there's been massive celebrations here the last two nights. but there's also been bloodshed. supporters of the former president have also taken to the street. members of

i wanted to show one more set of numbers, byron. look at this. wonder now if this will become political folly. if you push against obama care, you could almost need to use the need to sell it as a selling point against it. look how many americans are saying according to fox news polling that they want to see it repealed in some shape or form. 58%. quickly, your thoughts. >> this has been the republican sensation, they voted i don't know how many times to repeal obama care. the administration wants to get it in effect, make it a part of people's lives, they believe it would be very, very hard to repeal after it is a part of people's lives. they really want to open the thickets for subsidies to people, so people will be receiving money for this. going to be hard to take it away after that starts. >> right. and we do know on the list, the nba and others, too, see how they respond as well. byron york, good to have you tonight. thank you. >> thank you, harris. >>> we move on now. admitted nsa leaker edward snowden may now be stuck essentially in limbo

chief political correspondent byron york joins us. good evening, byron. >> good evening, greta. >> what seems to be the problem? >> this story had origin in april. there were news reports that the leaders in congress were talking among themselves about a possible plan, top secret plan to exempt members of congress and their staff from the exchanges that are going to be part of obama care. and this caused a lot of concern, republicans in particular were very upset about it. so representative dave camp, he's a republican head of the house ways and means committee actually, filed a bill which would forbid members of congress, their staff, the president, the vice president and lots of federal employees from being able to get out of these exchanges in obama care and the idea that if they're going to pass this law, they need to be subject to it. now, what's happened is, a number of the unionized workers at the irs have written a letter asking that they not be affected by this. of course, camp's bill hasn't gone anywhere yet. but they want t

byron, thank you very much. >> thank you, martha.: while we're on this topic, a brand news "fox news poll" on the consulate attack is out. a poll finding the majority of voters think president obama should have ordered u.s. troops to go in and help the americans in benghazi. 62% say the president should have sent troops into military action. 24% say the president was right in not sending u.s. forces. >>> a fox news alert in cleveland and a possible plea deal for the man accused of kidnapping three women and keeping them captive for about a decade. that's a live look inside the courtroom right now where we are expecting ariel castro to plead guilty to all charges and get life in prison with the no possibility of parole. garrett tenney is live in chicago. garrett, as we follow this trial what are the details coming out now? >> reporter: well, kelly, as we've been watching this case unfold over the last three months almost, after aerial castro was arrested on may 6th, we know his defense team has been very open in public about their des

bill: you think this is in trouble, byron? >> could be.don't do anything in july and doesn't look like they will, they take a month break in august. they go home, talk to their constituents, many of whom are actually opposed to this bill in republican districts. they come back in september and stuff like debt limit. there are big fiscal fights. there are all sorts of other issues. there is a possibility that immigration reform could just get pushed to the backburner. bill: because you have got the fiscal issues and debt ceiling issues that will pop up. you will have big, big debates on that. if you look at the second term of the administration and looking at big-time accomplishments, i have to think upon re-election this is one thing where they thought we can get this done. if you don't get it done, what are you left with? >> well, you're not left with a lot. they got it done in the senate because they had this bipartisan consensus. they had 14 republicans who joined all 54 democrats in the senate. look what we're suppose to be the big dea

byron jorgan joins us back in studio this morning.. >> bill: congratulations, i'm reaching for your book. this is your second thriller. energy environmental thriller called "gridlock," just came out, correct? >> last tuesday. >> caller: that you have authored with david hagberg. but first i have to get your take -- we have been talking about that majority leader reid has said he is going to put republicans to the test this week on the filibuster on nominations to the executive branch, that they continue to use the filibuster to block those. and senator reid says he is going to change the rules. do you think he should? >> well mitch mcconnell and those he represents and the republican caucus have decided that they are simply not going to move nominations. they are playing a game with these things and a lot of good men and women are not offering themselves for public service, because they know they are going to wait a year two years, in some cases they are not going to be confirmed. so i don't think that harry reid has any choice. there

. >> great showing at the byron nelson. 16 years old. >> that is right. i can't believe that was three years ago. >> ended up tied for 16th. a chance to win at the age of 19. almost unheard of. something that tiger never did, rory or phil. >> zach looking for his 10th victory confidenting and in another playoff this year like last year when he won against troy matteson. and then david hearn, canadian has been out on tour. >> big tree in front of him. the lie, he can start it inside. this is a horrifying line. 193 yards. >> he knew it as soon as he hit it. that is the last thing he expected. fortunately it stayed in the first cut that made the chip a lota easier. did not get into the thick stuff. >> zach has 7-iron out, 170 yards. now he has to go right at it. no decisions here. >> once again damon knew more than he did. earlier today damon green was correct on the shot. he thought that was really good. he cannot believe that it went that far. >> try to look at what jordan spieth is trying to accomplish here. 1931 the last time that a teenager won a pga to

byron, thank you. >> thank you, jon. jenna: well, speaking of strange happenings, convicted killer jodi arias is heading back to court today, and her defense team has a big, big request for the judge. rick folbaum has the latest details from from our newsroom. gler the request is to toss out one of the key decisions of the jury that found her guilty of killing travis alexander. that jury found her actions, quote, especially cruel which according to the law put the death penalty on the table as a possible sentence for arias. except the jury deadlocked during the penalty phase, leading the judge to declare a mistrial and ordering that a new jury be seated to decide on arias' punishment. the first-degree guilty verdict stands, though, regardless. you remember arias admitted to killing alexander back in 2008, but she said she did it in self-defense. prosecutors seem open to some kind of a deal that would spare arias' life, though they say they are not open to an entirely new trial altogether. we'll see what the judge decides

. >> that was byron wien on squawk box yesterday.s that mean cutting that number is like tightening? gentlemen, thanks for joining us. do you agree with that? 85 to 60 in bond buying, is that essentially a bond tightening. >> well i hate to disagree with mr. wien, but i don't agree. what's important is the psychology and on that, byron is absolutely correct. the reduction in the amount of a accommodation will be seen as a tightening. but is it actually a tightening? no. >> it may not actually be a tightening, greg, but at the end of the day if it moves interest rates higher, it is tightening. >> if the fed boys more bonds next year, that is an easing of policy. if the fed signals fewer bond, that is a tightening. it all depend on what they do in september relative to that expectation. looks to me like they are settling in around an expectation of the federal taper of 85 to 60 in september. my gut senses with the weakness of the gdp numbers and how low inflation has been. >> can they really start buying lower and lower numbers of bond

byron york is keeping track. a lot of this ain't so. >> this is really complicated. during the immigration debate in the senate, the congressional budget office came out with a report that said, wow, immigration reform is going reduce the deficit over the next ten years, and they found that the reason -- it would actually create a deficit but would result in a huge new bonanza of social security taxes coming in from newly legalized immigrants are who are mostly young paying into the system. so it does create this big sur plus short term but they get older, and what this found was immigration reform would be a small plus for social security but not a lot. for example, social security system is set to go broke in 2033. and they found that if reform were enacted they would go broke 2035. not a big difference. may not be any difference at all because the data has been moving around. >> neil: never the same. i am wondering here, the argument for getting this bill law is you take all of this off the book works and put them on the books and they're paying real taxes and fic

former senator byron dorgan is with us for conversation, as well.to start by how politics and policy have met in this sort of awkward ways. i think it is perfectly illustrated by a couple things we want to show here first. we'll start with the executive director and the health insurance exchange in california and this is his reaction when the rates came out for california, the projected rates. this is a home run for consumers in every region of california. this is in democratically controlled california. republican controlled ohio, the rates have come in there. the state and have much higher premiums for their health insurance and just a disaster in ohio. now, let's look at what these individual prices are the individual policies in california, $331 and in ohio $333. a difference of $2 and that is a difference between a disaster and a home run. it just seems to me that this is really, if you're in a red state or republican governor, you're going to do, republican administration and you're going to do your best to talk about how terrible this is goin

byron york joins us. why is he under investigation and who is he? >> his name is charles edwards.ous. in any agency, the inspector general is the one whose job it is to investigate charges of corruption or misconduct in the agency. he or she needs to be above reproach. he's not. his name is charles id wards, he's the deputy inspector general of the department of homeland security. and a few weeks ago, two members of congress, claire mccaskill, ron johnson who were investigating this kind of stuff. sent him a letter, it's a scathing letter. there had been a lot of whistle-blowers telling congress about the inspector general. in other words, they were whistle blows on the investigator. look at this letter, you violated anti-nepotism laws and policies to employ your wife. you abused your authority to obtain improper benefits for your wife. you abused agency resources in your pursuit of a ph.d. you abused agency resources to obtain the services of government vehicles. you were susceptible to political pressure and on and on and on and on. >> and his wife telecommutes from? >> india. w

byron has been busy during the off him, making contracts and still football is a notoriously fickle affair. >> anything can happen. there are some strong squads this year. -- these are major competition and legendary teams. the dominance is due in part to its strong economic performance with 330 million euros in earnings over the past this year. increasingly, this looks like a two team bundesliga. -i don't think they have set some kind of standard. i'm convinced the bundesliga will remain exciting. >> to keep it that way, the rest of the league will have to up its game, otherwise this season could feature a lot of also-rans. >> this weekend was the hottest of the year in germany with temperatures in some parts of the country measuring 38 degrees celsius. in berlin, a lot of people were keen to beat the heat. one of the biggest days of their lives and 34 degrees in the shade to boot. the makings of an unforgettable the perfect day. >> but i'm sweating so hard. the things you do for love. >> in berlin, it's the hottest weekend in years. many are taking precautions before they venture out are

seems like everything from immigration to c chris christie and rand paul, i want to read you what byronid "it's what happens to parties when they don't have a leader and republicans after two straight presidential losses have no one who even approaches national leadership, so factions appear and diversions worsen." >> absolutely not, chris christie is the more common sense business conservative and rand paul the leader of the tea party conservatives. they're never going to agree on a lot of issues. some overlap. now it is my hope as a republican as the primaries do get going whoever will perform, i hope it's chris christie at this point, he is not as tainted as mitt romney was in the primary the last way around. there's no problem with going at each other within the republican party because we are choosing who is going to be our bearer for 2016 and beyond. >> it's a conversation we could have longer if we had time. boris thanks for being here this morning. >>> now it's time for the latest headlines in sports and i'm joined by my colleague richard lui. >> good morning to you, mara. we we

byron pitts, abc news, cairo. >> as we said here at home the u.s. is keeping a close eye on this key american ally. each year the u.s. sends 1.6 billion dollars in aid, second only to israel. tonight president obama is calling for a review of that aid as he urges the military to quickly restore power back to the people. chief white house correspondent jonathan karl joins us from washington. the president spent the day meeting with advisers today. how concerned are they about a possible civil war. >> reporter: it is the top concern at the white house tonight. that is why on this holiday for the second night in a row you have seen the president huddling with his national security advisers in the situation room. egypt is the key player in the middle east, in the arab world, the top economic power, military power, political power. so while the white house says it's deeply concerned with the way morsi has been overthrown, you have already seen the administration in contact with the top military leaders and they have stopped short of calling this a coup.

[laughter] he had to, like, shake it off and start over. >> i wonder what my colleagues think about whether the justice who wrote the majority knows an oral dissent is coming. >> you know the answer, don't you? >> i am not sure i do. >> they know now that somebody will be dissenting. we have learned over time that they think it is good manners to let the majority justice know that a

to show how cooperative thes were was the officers was byron price of the associated press.itored 50,000 overseas cables and 25,000 phone calls per week which is an interesting reminder of how history repeats itself. more than that it was an era of unprecedented cooperation by the press. nowhere is that more evident than with today's release of the national archives of the video of fdr unearthed by a professor of franklin college. it shows roosevelt, rare in that it shows him moving in a wheelchair. fdr requested news photographers to shoot him from the waist up. it was an unofficial white house office of censorship. can you imagine if our media would be so cooperative. you wouldn't have videos of gerald ford deplaning. or even george w. bush opening doors with new relations with china--or not. but considering what today's process has become, fdr would have had a hard time hiding his polio from the public. but then again it would have been today and he likely wouldn't have had pole yes. we've run out of ways to cleverly introduce brett erlich, so let's go down to los angeles

the reason he decides to dissent, byron white said we have a practice here if we feel pay nately about a dissent we should one a term do that. so scalia did. he went on for nine minutes in 1988. i think each year my colleague will correct me. i think each year he does once. the doma one was if he could have pounded the fist he would have. but the words carried it. >> one of the great thing of being in the courtroom. he has a great story teller voice, for one thing, he was going on and telling the story. he can be very sarcastic. he's really rolling along. then he finishes, and then he has written the majority opinion in the next case. so the chief justice says now, justice scalia will give the opinion, he had to like recalibrate sorry about that. then he tried to start again and using his sarcastic voice even though he was reading the majority opinion. he had to shake it off and start over again.
