. >> byron york is the chief political correspondent for "the washington examiner." a fox news contributor and we were quoting from his terrific column as we often do good to see you byron. >> is he recognizing his party has taken the wrong approach. they have been foing for years on employers they should have been focusing on employees who he said are 90% of americans. >> that's exactly right. the quote you read earlier was eric cantor speaking to republicans at their retreat in cambridge, maryland according to a source who was in the room this is belated emphasis. president obama for speech and democrats in the senate and the house they have pushed middle class, middle class, middle class that's where the greatest number of economic anxieties are and the votes are too. on the other hand, if you listen to republicans, they talked about entrepreneurs, business owners, people who start their own businesses and what you are seeing with what cantor said and he has been talking about this for close a-to-a year now but a lot of other republicans haven't. what you are see

byron york and "u.s.a. today" kirsten powers. kirsten, first to you, nbc making those statements, i mean in many ways profoundly nice things about president putin are any remotely true? >> i mean, maybe some of it is remotely true. but the overarching presentation is not true. i think the way they are trying to portray him is this great statesman. one of the things that really caught my attention is this reference to saying that anti-gay or gay groups have complained about some of the things that he has done as if there is some debate to be had about the fact that he is reerntly anti-gay and passed a law arrest people for being gay. this is not subject to debate. on one hand putin says this and on the other hand gay right groups say that. >> byron, when i heard that, i was stunned. i couldn't figure fought bob does stats was trying to curry favor so he didn't get thrown out like david or nbc didn't get thrown out. i know he has gone to the politics before when we thought we were hearing sports. the things he is saying that putin

washington examiner byron york and the "wall street journal's" jason rod. jason first to you. is misinformation, is that part of the problem? [ laughter ] she would like to think that's part of the problem. maybe the misinformation that harry reid is putting out there is part of the problem that she is talking about. i think that clinton's comments are more confirmation of what we already knew, which is that democrats think healthcare and obama care is going to be a liability in november. in clinton's case might think it's still going to be a liability in 2016. >> byron. >> the interesting things about her remarks about obamacare, she joins other democrats in saying that it has to be fixed. but, as senator johnson was saying, democrats have all said it needs to be fixed, but they haven't come up with any comprehensive plan to actually fix it. and she did say that, for example, forcing people into 30 hour work weeks has been a problem with obamacare. >> so at least she identifies that. >> exactly. and she also identified problems with forcing smaller companies to provide care.

byron york, elise viebeck and national review jim garety.e changing her view or sort of just adjusting it or explaining it? what is it. >> i guess she is clarifying it is the word she would use. as long as there is an exception for health of the mother and fetal abnormalities, otherwise she could support a ban on abortion after 20 weeks. i don't know if she has mentioned this at the fundraiser she attends in san francisco and manhattan and washington, d.c. she has caught between position of national democrats particularly the big donors in places like that who love this position where she is outspoken on abortion she standing up to the crazy right wingers who want to ban abortion. it doesn't play well in texas. now this interview with the dallas morning news. all of a sudden new nuances. i'm not as scary and bad as you think i am. >> elise, flip flop or is she clarifying? >> i think this is her attempt to stakeout more conservative or at least moderate support among texans. i see this as a bit of a flip flop myself. because when you think ab

stoddard and washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york. byron, are we getting the news police. >> this is bad bad bad. kind of outgrowth of the old fairness doctrine which died unlamented death many years ago. basically what's going to happen the fcc commissioner actually wrote op. ed about it in the "wall street journal." plans to go into newsrooms and determine how journals make decisions regarding issues. these issues are droil a community like the environment and we need to see how these organizations covering them. this just steps all over the first amendment. it's a bad idea. >> i think it's one of the most outrageous things. it's one thing with sort of the nsa spying domestically and i thought that's never going to happen in my lifetime and it did. i never thought in my lifetime we would be sending drones to kill americans without due process we do have a constitution that's happening and now there is this. karen? >> it is disturbing. and it's supposedly to sort of analyze. the survey is clearly written by somebody who has never set

joining us our political panel in washington byron york washington examiner, john mccormick of "the weeklyrd" and joining me? new york louise story of the "new york times." all right, byron, i will start with you. are the unions through? >> they are certainly going down down down. but unions in america, remember, are kind of a tale of two cities, in the private sector union membership has just gone way way down. it's now about 6.7% of all employees in the private sector. in the public sector it's 35%. that is still government workers are still a growth area for union organizers. as rich edson was saying uaw had 500 million now it's under 400,000 that union is continuing to slide. >> and, john, the idea that apparently workers weren't required to pay dues even if they voted for the union. they would have had automatic manipulate -- membership in a counsel that would have given them authority over every day matters at the plant. does it surprise you in spite of that they still lost? care with about german shareholders than u.s. workers. volkswagen actually wanted this. they wanted a works co

byron york from the washington "examiner."l: workers at a volkswagen plant in tennessee voting down a proposal to join the united auto workers union. >> reporter: it's a big deal because there are a lot of non-union automobile michiganers, particularly near the south. while this vote may have turned back the union in chattanooga it may have also ignited a new union drive to get into those plants. the union president issued an inflammatory statement after the loss in chattanooga calling it an experiment in new forms of right-wing zealotry. he says it reinforces the fact that there is a powerful new form of organizing emerging. but the uaw out of detroit posted a campaign saying volkswagen workers were braving ice and snow to come in to vote. workers who dismissed the union says if you compare union manufacturers with non-union shops the advantages have clear. >> who is growing, who is moving forward. who is paying their people great and who is not. look at detroit with there are city blocks of empty houses? what's the common de

byron york and you have more on this. >> david asbin host of after the bell. how are you, david? >> i am great, bill. >> what are you learning that we need to know about this? >> byron touched on the tradeoff and the phrase tradeoff. my favorite economist in the world famous for saying there are no solutions in economics and only tradeoffs. here is the tradeoff. 16.5 million workers getting minimum waejs would see gamings going up and that would be great for them and they are pushing for it and it would be good for the economy and they would buy more things. but the cbo said 500,000 workers would be laid-off because the businesses couldn't afford to pay it. and bill royally is afraid of this and i had an interview with them yesterday and this is what he had to say about the tradeoff. >> i wouldn't advocate a $20 amount minimum wage and you would cost massive job loss. and this is beneficial on aefrmg and not to every person. >> is the tradeoff worth it? i disagree with professor binder and bill o'rielly on this. 500,000 jobs lost. not only politically and economically. and we have

for "nightline," i'm byron pitts in new york. >> byron, thank you for that interview and report. what do you think? did the system fail jordan davis? tweet us at "nightline." next, there are always too many cooks in the kitchen at the world food championships. we're with the chefs as they duke it out. but sometimes, i still struggled to get going, even get through the day. so i was honest with my doctor. i told him i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. he said that for some people, an antidepressant alone only helps so much and suggested we add abilify (aripiprazole). he said that by taking both, some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i wish i'd talked to my doctor sooner. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles and confusion to ad

us, the weekly standard john mccor rick and chief -- mccormick and chief political correspondent byron yorku can't make this stuff up. >> no, you can't. you remember how the back end of the obamacare website had not been built yet -- >> which is to pay the insurance company. >> right. he called a it the cash register of the obamacare website. this part hadn't been fixed either. there is a part at the end of the obamacare enrollment process in which you can next some of the problems that were created in the beginning. there were people who were eligible for subsidees who were not able to tbet them. to get them. the post profiled a woman who had a gal bladder problem. she was afraid she may need surgery in january. her company was actually can selling her health -- cancelling her health coverage as of december 31st. she ended up needing surgery earlier and then more after january. then she was advised, the obama people said buy the more expensive stuff and we can fix it later. well they can't fix it later now. >> we did this anonymous story and i hate anonymous stories, but i will read it. th

nina easton and washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york.you want to take a stab at this one. >> it's always good business for the president to attack fox news. anita dunn a top white house official declared war on fox news. are you is to remember there is a certain part of the democratic electorate. democratic wing of the democratic electorate that really hates fox and they like hearing attacks on fox. it was a pretty powerful well-funded group media matters for america that pretty much existed only to wage war on fox news until they gave up a short time ago. so, i mean, this is actually good business. not in damaging fox news but in actually building a little rapport with the base. >> i have actually seen coint dentally on the other side of the political spectrum maybe not directed at a network seen the emails all these villains that everyone is always pointing at. nina. >> let's commend the guy for actually coming on fox news. he gets brownie points for that having a sense of humor, smiling. you know, we can't -- he was a good sport. that

stoddard and washington examiner chief political correspondent byron york., your thousand about this? >> well, this goes way back with the clintons, jim and diane blair with friends with the clintons in the 70s. executive at tyson foods. diane blair was close. jim blair was the one who helped hillary clinton make extraordinary profit with cattle future. we're going way back. she invested $10,000 and came away with $100,000 in a very few months. this reremain close. diane blair died in the year 2000. her husband gave her papers to the university of arkansas. the washington free beacon went and looked at the papers. i think what we are seeing now is in the reaction of this we are going to get a bead on how far you can go back in mrs. clinton's past as a campaign issue in 2016. will be in. >> you know, a.b., did secretary clinton know these notes were being taken? that's what i don't get, like if my friends did that to me that's what i wondered as well. what started in faith yet should stay in fayetteville. they were detailed and there were many of them. it is

us our political panel the hill's elise viebeck and rick klein and chief political correspondent byron york. i suspect that one of the places they may have got 7 million was actually from the secretary herself. >> they have moved the goal post off the field. every number we get cannot really be trusted. and the new number today is that 4 million have, quote: signed up for obamacare. >> approximately. >> approximately. >> private coverage since the whole process began on october 1st. well, that's mind what they were looking for. but there is two big issues with that. one is, we know they count people who just put a policy in their shopping basket on the web. so how many people have actually purchased it? we have some antidotal data to suggest maybe 20% have not purchased it, so 4 million becomes 3.2 million. the bigger issue is how many were previously uninsured? we know of millions of people have had their coverage cancelled due to obamacare and they have gone back to the exchanges to try to get new coverage. that's just kind of a churning operation. >> well, if you have 6 million who lost

stoddard john mccormick and chief political correspondent byron york.u can't make this stuff up. >> no, you you know all these reports we heard a while back about how the back end of the obamacare web site had not even been built yet. >> which is to pay the insurance companies, right? >> to pay the insurance. charles krauthammer called it the cash register of the obamacare web site. this part hasn't been fixed either. there is a part at the end of the obamacare enrollment process in which you can fix some of the problems that were created in the beginning. so there were people who were eligible for subsidies who weren't able to get them. the post actually profiled a woman who had a gallbladder problem. she was afraid she might need surgery in january and her company was actually canceling her health coverage as of december 31st. she was worried about that and as -- she actually ended up needing surgery earlier and then more after january and finally she was advised that the obamacare people told her just go ahead, buy the more expensive stuff and we can

. >> to that point, byron york wrote on friday that republicans should be wary and remember he does represent a sizable portion of the base of the party. then you've got groups like freedom works and others who are out there creating that additional fund-raising machine for some of those taken party candidates. he may be laying the foundation for his own presidential, it's probably not a bad idea for him to cater to that base. >> that's exactly why he's doing that and he knows what he's doing. i can't remember seeing a senator ripping into his own party as a bunch of liars and cowards and cynics. he's putting republicans on the spot. he was remarkably honest about this. he's putting them on the spot and saying you need to put up o or shut up. don't say i want to avoid default -- avoid catastrophe back home and say i don't want to cast that vote because i'm going to get heat from the right. he knows it's putting them in a difficult position and he doesn't care. there's been a narrative brewing that ted cruz is trying to make nice with his party after that catastrophe and that shutdown. it's co

when byron york puts that in perspective, if you're going to take a full picture of somebody who never left the spotlight, you can go back there. hillary clinton as first lady was a bystander when it came to bill clinton. >> sort of. the comments are alluding to the fact that it wasn't so much what difference does it make but whatever it takes to get these women out of the way. >> we'll have more of these accounts and these letters and correspondence a little bit later in the show but let's turn our attention to the naacp. we were talking about a protest they had this weekend down there in north carolina when they asked for protesters to show up bringing their voter i.d. cards. but they were there to protest north carolina's antivoter i.d. law. >> this crazy notion that you have to have i.d. before you vote so we know who you are. >> right. a separate protest, david webb of the tea party wanted to go to one of these naacp rallies to find out why they believe the tea party is racist. >> do you think the tea party is racist? >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> can you give me some examples? can y
