byron york: great job with that white color.att schlapp: i am really enjoying looking like mike pence. this is a question about realignment, and there is a lot of realignment going on in politics. as a matter of fact if you like , politics, 2016 would have been the year you chose to be covering politics because there was so much change on the right and the left. i want to start with ralph who has been covering politics for a long time. and ralph, you have covered it from both ideological perspectives. have you ever seen a year like we had in 2016? ralph hallow: none of us has ever seen anything like this. i usually get elections wrong. i don't think i ever predicted the outcome of presidential election right, but this one, unbelievable. i didn't think from what run. i thought that was a joke. he couldn't be serious. and when he started to run, i really didn't think he could win anything. and after a while, i realized everything that i had learned over 50 years in journalism out the window. i didn't understand what was going on,

's to go if you listen carefully to mcconnell, he never answers the question about if he'll do . he simply says we will do what it takes and were going to get the candidate through, going to get the nominee through. everybody understands what that means. it means that if he has to come he will do it. he's a traditionalist. he doesn't want to have to blow up the system, and he doesn't want to be a new harry reid on this. but i don't think it helps, and i have supported blowing up the process and eliminating the filibuster if necessary. but i don't think it helps if the president keeps saying it. it looks like it's pressure from another branch and it polarizes a debate over gorsuch into a sort of a conflict between the trump white house and the democrats. that's unnecessary. this is such a strong candidate that if you leave it as an issue between the candidate on his merits against obstructionis

byron york is his name. what do you make of this?the big thing is trump has had a bad week in washington, a tough week in washington. the reason i think it's a good idea for him to go, he has already done a lot of stuff. he has reduced regulatory burdens of obama care, frozen father hiring, approved the keystone pipeline, tightened white house ethic rules, weakened dodd-frank. he's done it in this big fire hose of information and controversy and tweets. each one of those probably would have deserved a white house roll-out and promotion campaign. none of them got it. it seems to me that what a president does is he says what he's going to do and he does it and he goes out into the country and trying to sell it. that's what you're going to see him start doing in florida. >> neil: it's the very campaign mode that rattles democrating to criticize him. at this stage, barack obama had done one event in february 9th of 2009. so much earlier than this president. having said that, nancy pelosi among others seizing on the fact that, you know, a

tom: byron york, chief political correspondent with the washington examiner and mike gallagher, hostmike gallagher show. this little love affair it looks like they are making up a little bit over that remark about his family name. >> i think trump has been playing with them for quite a while. you know that phrase when someone is living rent-free in someone's head? every time he calls them fake news, they say, no, we are not. he said today i have a new name for you, very fakeews. for their sake they have to ignore this stuff, ask the questions, go straight ahead and not get distracted. >> it feels like we are all in on the joke and they are not. it's fascinating. you want an example from fake news? how about the headline. trump rails about hillary. did you notice jim acosta was asking him about the emails. they try to make it steam like he's ranting and raving and he's not. today's press conference represents everything about trump's amazing candidacy that got him elected. cnn and others in the mainstream media don't get it. tom prr my twitter feed lit up on this whole thing. we have

byron york: in my opinion. we had a better candidate that we didn't run that would have won who was joe biden. matt schlapp: you think joe biden really would have won? it is not whether you elect joe biden or not. i agree with byron, i think he was the only candidate who would have beaten hillary. >> i follow the candidates around, i remember spending a day, a couple of days, watching ted cruz. they went up to northern iowa. phase inwas in cruz's which he was like, no one was going to have a bigger bible then ted cruz. he was going to carry a huge bible if he had to go to these events, some of which were in churches, and he would quote scripture. wasi saw the same day, it out of ballroom, trump appeared. he got a bigger vote of evangelicals that cruise did by carrying the -- cruz did by carrying the big bible. anyou don't have to be evangelical to get the support of evangelicals. --on york: obviously that they elected rick santorum and mike huckabee, the last two caucuses, but what they were telling me was that

lou: joining me now, byron york.i want to start, if i may, your reaction which you wrote about in your column today, this western washington district court judge who decided he knew better than the president of the united states about who is and is not a threat to this country. and you have dug deeper obviously than the judge. what did you find? >> there are a couple things. one of the key arguments in this case was that the government, the justice department was saying the constitution and the law give the president the authority to do what he's doing in this order. they don't really give a u.s. district court for the western district of washington state the authority to do that. the judge obviously rejected that argument. one of the things the judge did was he wanted to show where the justice department there was no basis for this trump order. so he asked the justice department lawyer, well, tell me, these seven countries, how many people have been arrested in if the united states for terror-related offenses. the j

about, has anyone really been arrested from any of these 7 country, i don't think that happened, byron yorkorted this 60 people from since 9/11 have been arrested, the facts get mixed up in these cases. >> they do, that is president carter's appointee you are talking about. he is the one that was expressing some suspicious about has anyone been arrested? breyer -- prior to that answer was yes that is is how president obama's administration decided these are countries where we flie need to do better vetting, had they had a full hearing before issuing a national ban ebasically overruling president. they would have known that before today. tom: these questions would have been answered. >> right. tom: thank you for your expertise. >> thank you. tom: breaking news, at lift 4 tornadoes have ripped through the south. causing widespread damage, one of the hardest hit areas, new orleans, tornado demolished homes and businesses leaving thousands of people without power. fortunately no deaths have been reported, there are injuries though. louisiana governor, has declared a state of emergency. >> be su

and byron york will be there. how are you doing, byron? good afternoon. >> hi, bill.oing well. >> bill: so this will be different and new. what is your expectation with the president's appearance this week? >> well, he will be well-received. you mentioned earlier, donald trump is the first sitting republican president to appear since ronald reagan. the two bushes, george h.w. and george w. bush declined to go to cpac. latest polls we've seen on president trump, anywhere from about 83 to 87% approval among republicans. that's a good number for him. this is the republican base. now, they all talk about how they're conservative and that is not necessarily republican, but that pretty much works out to be being republican. >> bill: so what do you believe is the reception on that hardcore group of conservatives that have not been as warm, let's say? >> that's a good point. there's a group of conservatives that have state in the never trump mode. simply not reconcile themselves to the election of president trump. not a very big number. perhaps a few will be vocal. i doubt th

, we'll take that up with the dean of republican strategists, ed rollins, washington examiner's byron york, and chairman of the american conservative union, matt schlapp . lou: we're coming to you live from our nation's capitol, ahead of president trump's address to a joint session of congress tomorrow evening, president today preparing for his speech by meeting with governors, health insurers and republican congressional leader, president working to fulfill his campaign promise to boost our military. laying out a budget proposal. fox news chief white house correspondent john roberts with our report. reporter: events after event on campaign trail, then candidate donald trump pledged to rebuilt the u.s. military into a fighting machine that no nation would dare challenge. today the president put the taxpayer's money where his mouse is. unveiling -- his mouth is. president pledging $54 billion for the pentagon next we're. >> it will include a historic increase in defense spending to rebuild the depleted military of the united states of america at a time we most need it. reporter: his address

joining me now to discuss, liz peak, columnist and byron york. good to see you both. -- we are nearing what it seems to me is a national crisis. the left from all quarters attacking this president, the establishment republicans doing much the same through silence are in some cases opposition. >> it's pretty disheartening. you came in knowing that the media was pretty much solidly araid against donald trump. democrats fell in line. they have been resistant to every single thing he has done. now we have remnants of long-time republican divisions. i think that's the most disheartening right now. at a time when you would like to see mcconnell-ryan gathering the forces on the hill saying we need to plan for obamacare. 48 hours, iron out your differences. howie: they are playing the same game they have, which is to say we are going to get it all done. then nothing happens. byron, how serious do you see this array of assault against the white house and this presidency? >> it is really serious. i think they smell blood and they think they can do more damage to trump earlier i

byron york, thank you. >> bill: let's drop in.er of the house on capitol hill behind us. >> people are left with little or no choices in some instances. we need to replace it with a better system. our whole purpose is to improve access to affordable healthcare coverage regardless of whether you have a pre-existing condition or not. that's what we ran on last year. that's what we're working on this year and that's our objective is to give people more choices, to give people access to more affordable healthcare choices, not less affordable healthcare choices or no choices at all which is the case with obamacare. allen. [inaudible question] >> look, you'll have a lot of churning -- this is plan we're working on together, the house, senate and white house so there aren't rival plans. we're working on this together with the administration. i would tell you, allen, we started this process not a few months ago. we started this process over a year ago. house republicans assembled a healthcare task force with all the committees of jurisdic

however, byron york i think is ilwith us.till have ben carson not confirmed at housing and urban development. son any purdue, not confirmed at agriculture. ryan zinke, interior. dan coates not confirmed at national security. alex acosta, not confirmed at labor. rick perry not confirmed at energy. that is a long list of people who are not yet confirmed and firmly in the trump cabinet even though it is february 28th, and the presidency began on january the 20th. this seems to me, byron, a success for democrat strategy of opposing and blocking and stalling? they won this one. >> you have to say it was. you have to say it was because you're absolutely right. tomorrow is the beginning of march. still all of those names you just mentioned are not confirmed yet. and you have to remember, all the people who go right under them at the various departments are not confirmed either. this is hugely important because remember, so much of the permanent bureaucracy is dead set opposed to donald trump. we've seen actual expressions of that, p

mainstream media's attempt to sabotage the president, here with reaction from the hill -- joe concha, byron york, raheem kassam. i think rush is right. they did not elect him, they did everything they could to defeat him, i worry if it becomes cumulative and if there is one little mistake, if he could hurt the president. >> i would say the president has a leverage right now in this war against the media. i base that on numbers, not opinion. the survey on trust and media, before wikileaks, 86% of republicans do not trust the media. okay, we expect that. it's 70 of republicans. independence. half for democrats. do an accurate story, give investigative journalism, you get a pat on the back. now it is all about how many times am i going to say something provocative of the gets retweeted by my media permethrin and oh, maybe i can get a story and they will talk about me. it's all about drawing attention to themselves instead of reporting accurately. >> sean: hoping somebody will get reaction, byron, what is your take on this? >> i do think there some people in the media that were frustrated after the

let's bring in byron york now, the chief political correspondent for the washington examiner and foxuse contributor. the president's policy advisor, steve be admiral, saying the white house is pursuing all option to the impose an immigration travel ban. let's start with you laying out these options. >> they are not saying what they are going to do. we have the order from that judge in washington state stopping the president's executive order. that has now been appealed to the 9th circuit and they ruled with the judge in washington state. sow the stop stays in effect. so the trump administration could either go to the whole 9th circuit, all the judges on the circuit instead that three-judge panel. or they could go to the supreme court. again lit getting wehat the stop that the judge put on it. or they could go back to that court in state and start to try the case on the merits of the order. not just the temporary stop. or they could as you mentioned before amended the executive order they released, or do a whole new one, replace the with a new executive order. they will were which it

byron york, chief political correspondent of the washington examiner, charles lane, and charles krauthammero get to the overall message that president trump continues to hit on here. and the specifics of this gaggle and why it caused a lot of people to question access. >> i think you were like when you called it a little arcane. i think that is probably true. i think the first thing you should say, all of us in journalists should be in a favor of access. that said, i don't think this was the worst thing in the world. the white house has had briefings for limited numbers of journalists for quite a while. as you point out, not only did they get a cool report pull ret a recording of the whole thing. my guess is, you won't see it again, and if the white house wants to stick it to organizations, they will find more subtle ways to do it. i think the bottom line is, we should be in favor of more access for everybody. >> bret: that is a key, the excess. i guess on a day when he is out saying he is going to do something about it, then this happens, this expanded pool that includes "the washington po

that's byron york's column.gen: there's increasing level of rage and movement online on social media particularly by left-wing liberal celebrities and those who have money and wealth. they are trying to use trump's play book and using social media to put intense pressure on democratic leaders. they are relentless and not give up and this is going to happen for four years. >> in the art of the deal he said, if you're saying no, if all you're doing is saying no and being obstructionist, i have a word for you, i call you a loser. [laughter] maria: you lose credit bled when you're against everybody for a specific reason. >> you can't be the party of no. you can't be the person -- the democratic party needs to carve out issues, challenge the president on issues that are core fundamental values and give him his presidential prerogative. dagen: i say they won't do it. >> they will not hold -- they won't hold everybody. maria: is your boss known for firing people for the treasury secretary? that was my la la land commen

from the "washington examiner," byron york is with us. month in, all we hear about, rather small demonstrations in sort of big cities across the country which leads me to think that publicly, i think the left is losing some steam. what say you? >> well, they are pretty small and they do attract disproportionate amount of attention, although we should say right after inauguration day the so-called women's march here in washington was really, really big. basically it is just a fact of news coverage that protests seem to attract disproportionate amount of coverage. that is what is going on. if you look at the polls, trump seems to be very steady with the people who voted for him. the new "fox news poll," job approval i think has him at 48 approve, 47 disapprove. not very different from the election results. stuart: byron, we have a new "rasmussen poll," tracking poll, came out today. 55% approval of president trump. that is a very strong number. and that came after the fiery press conference. i don't think it was taken after the florida even

from the "washington examiner," byron york is with us now. byron, this was your suggestion.ome credit. why do you think the president is doing this? why do you think he should do this. >> i think he is probably doing it for the reasons i wrote about which is, look, he has accomplished quite a bit so far. he has been in an executive action phase in this presidency but look what he has done through executive action. he eased obamacare regulations. made significant changes in immigration enforcement. not what you were talking about overseas terrorist immigration but with immigration at the border and in the interior. he has gotten the united states out of the trans-pacific pipeline. he has done a bunch of stuff. each day it just seems to come in a fire hose of actions and controversies and tweets. i really lost, i think focus on some of the things that he actually did. so, it seems to me it would be a good idea for the president to actually go out and try to build public support for the things that he has done. and try to build public support for this legislation. he will ultim

political analyst gayle trotter, and chief political correspondent with the washington examiner byron york my god, ryan trying to sound more like an emperor than a speaker. i don't know how trump has a great sense of humor, the president i would think would be tested by that kind of a remark. >> oh, he should, paul ryan talks about how donald trump had great campaign promises that he's trying to fulfill them, and ryan has the tact ralical experience on the hill to make the promises be fulfilled and going in the opposite direction. he should be focused on like bannon said being maniacally focused on fulfilling campaign promises. lou: he is laughing at me. >> the opponents are saying we're going to destroy him, and so-called friends are saying we're going to wear him down. that's the difference here. one of the things that's a danger, and there's a lot of them. he gets the idea he will do everything. we'll do tax reform, and then we'll do immigration reform, and we'll do entitlement reform. we'll do all this sort of stuff. we don't do all that stuff. lou: to his credit, he hasn't said entitl

before we do that byron york with me. you can throw a dart at the number of topics this morning. australia, the conversations with the mexican president, on and on and on. chiefly the critical issue of the moment has to do with iran. this was, i think you could argue, somewhat unprecedented for general flynn to come into the briefing room yesterday and issue the warning he did. the question, i think, is why? what's the strategy? >> well, there has been a lot of questions on what does on notice mean. shouldn't they have been more precise. i think the bigger picture of the general's statement on iran is to inform iran and the world that this administration is going to do things differently from the last administration. general flynn mentioned the obama administration two or three times in his brief statement. the fact is, iran has done stuff like this for quite awhile and most of the time the obama administration did nothing. and flynn's message was that stops now. we're going to do something. he didn't need to say well, we're going to pursue some sort of financial sanctions. we'll

want to bring in byron york to examine this. on a friday here we go. let's start with iran.n is now on notice on behalf of the trump administration. as best as you can frame it, what does that mean? >> the phrase on notice was left deliberately vague when the national security advisor michael flynn used it. it could mean sanctions or designating officially as terrorist organizations things like the irgs, islamic revolutionary guard corps. iranian proxy groups the u.s. believe participates in terrorism. these are initial steps. they're intended to be part of a build-up if iran doesn't change its behavior. >> bill: now on russia. it hasn't been widely reported but there has been a lot of violence in eastern ukraine over the last week and you have nikki haley in her u.n. and first address there condemning the actions of russia. how will it go when the administration has said they want good relations with putin and moscow? >> her comment got a lot of news in part because trump's position on russia has been exaggerated or misunderstood. while donald trump has always said he wante

. >> bill: want to bring in byron york, washington examiner. how are you doing? big audience tomorrow night. i'm thinking 60 million plus at the low end. what is your expectation for the content of this speech? >> i think the speech will mark a transition from the executive order phase of the trump administration to a legislative action phase. and we have what john just reported and we also have an idea of how trump is going to do this because he just delivered a very long agenda-driven speech at cpac on friday. now, most of the press reports focused on his attacks on the press and that, but after that there was a long agenda. i counted a dozen bullet points. this was increased military spending, border security, infrastructure spending. violent crime initiative. one-on-one trade deals, repeal and replace obamacare. reduce regulations and he has previewed what he will do tuesday night. >> bill: i would call out nancy pelosi and paul ryan and chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell and get them to shake hands. how do democrats react tomorrow night? >> they will oppose e

chief political correspondent, byron york. let's go back to what john was reporting there. i take you back to the third week of july. rnc, convention in cleveland when donald trump said i am your law and order candidate. this is something he has talked about for a long time and said he would implement while president. start there. >> it is. that's what these new memos do. basically what they do, they're the instructions to the department of homeland security about how to enforce an executive order that trump released on january 25th. very far reaching executive order about border enforcement. and while it is a big deal that they are talking about having more ice agents and more border patrol agents, it is probably a bigger deal that he is changing what they're going to do. he is ending a practice called catch and release in which the obama administration basically apprehended people who were crossing the border illegally and gave them a slip of paper and let them go. won't happen anymore under the trump administration. that could be the huge change in border enforcement. ye
