joining us from the new york post, gabby, and chief correspondent from the washington examiner, byron york. thank you for being here, gabby, your thoughts to hear the sort of hollow ring of chuck schumer calling for a special counsel in this affair. for me, as you look at the documents from the justice department, there was no choice, but for the president to fire the director. >> and senator schumer saying this is a coverup, extreme given the circumstances. i'm wondering if there isn't a plausible explanation, that the reason that director comey was fired nonly he was so public with the clinton investigation and the trump-russian investigation, but hours ago the fbi had to issue clarity on what, you know, he said during his testimony last week that may have been wrong and erroneous. i think there are a number of explanations that may not be included in the letter from attorney general jeff sessions to the president, that may have explained the white house's reasoning for finally letting him go. >> it looks fairly clear to me, byron, that he was fired because of the way in which he handled

byron york is with us. find this media response to the comey story and all other stories, frankly, hysterical. what about you? >> well, i think people are hyperventilating a little bit. by the way, that american fascism story in the new york times written by henry wallace's grandson, wallace was the next to the last vice-president of franklin roosevelt and ran for president as a progressive in 1948. and says you know the term fascist cannot be fairly applied to donald trump and american fascism is different from european fascism and they put it in the headline. there are other parts to the story than what you are hearing. certainly, president trump was angry about the russian investigation, there's no doubt about it, but it's also true that the trump team and trump himself were thinking about firing comey from the very beginning, meaning right after the election, during the transition. they were tking about it and some people wanted too it right away on january 21st, so this is a more complicated story than

steve hayes, anna palmer, and byron york. byron, your thoughts. >> a couple things. the thing about this. remember most republicans on capitol hill opposed the appointment of a special counsel. i think there's two reactions. if there has to be one, the choice of robert mueller is a good one. he's a respected man. the order creating this office does say that mueller has the authority to look into any possible coordination between trump and the russians. and any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation. u.s. senator just said to me i guess it depends on what the word "matters" means and what the word "directly" means. they remember the cia leak case, it was alleged perjury involved. what happened is the appointment of a special counsel was followed by years and years of investigation. if we follow the same pattern here, we will be talking about this investigation in 2020. >> bret: let's put this in context. robert mueller has the power of the u.s. attorney. he has the power to convene a grand jury. he has the power to basically, say to the trump

byron york is a fox news contributor and joins us on this memorial day. thank you for joining us.s we watch this ceremony at the world war ii memorial honoring our military members today, what do you think about the comments that angela merkel had to say. >> merkel's comments are being interpreted as proof that donald trump did terrible damage to the u.s./germany relationship during his trip to europe. it's true that as far as germany and the rest of europe is concerned, the president did not tell them what they wanted to hear. at the nato meeting he suggested very strongly -- argued strongly they must pay more in their own defense. he questioned their priorities by noting they just spent $1.4 billion on a new headquarters building. he did not explicitly reaffirm the article v commitment to mutual defense. and perhaps most offensively to them at all he suggested the united states would pull out of the paris climate accords which is something they believe in with almost religious intensity. but the idea that somehow donald trump has destroyed what used to be a wonderful relationshi

. >> bill: more analysis now with fox news contributor byron york. what is significant by sally yates' testimony. >> we'll get a little more information about the fighting going on the obama administration and the trump administration. there were reports that sally yates told the white house that michael flynn could be vulnerable to blackmail, that was the word used by the russians. what was that about? we have had a number of people former national security advisors, have knowledgeable about the job say there was actually nothing wrong with the incoming national security advisor talking to the russian ambassador even if they were talking about sanctions. so the question is, what was it in those conversations and the transcripts and wiretapped conversations that sally yates knew about, what made her warn the white house? >> bill: a few tweets from just this morning. president trump said this. general flynn was given the highest security given by the obama administration but the fake news doesn't like talking about that. that's a point they've been ma

byron york, good day to you. we made a big deal out of the first 100 days and in fairness so did the white house. the next 100 days could have greater significance, clearly. >> they will be the time the president has the accomplish this things he hoped to do in the first 100 days. this obamacare thing not a done deal. may happen this week. all depends on what happens with those republican centrists. they weren't with it in sufficient numbers last week. going to have to see if they are this week. going to see what happens with the whole government shutdown. remember, we were talking about a government shutdown. this morning we hear there is a deal probably be averted. on the other hand a lot of republicans will be unhappy with that deal. and then you have to get to tax reform. so there is a lot to do. when you look at legislative days, the days where the house and senate are scheduled to work, there aren't that many through the end of august and by the way, you may not have known this, but they are supposed to go

byron york, a fox news contributor. that's one example.f times this is how washington tries to get things done. >> it does. you know, this news story fits into a pattern of leaked-based stories we've seen. they have enough details to be sensational but they don't have enough details for us to understand what actually happened. and we really don't quite understand what happened here. and even if it is as portrayed, what would be wrong with that? and you're right. we have seen a number of reports that show that previous presidents, not just barack obama but many others, have established back channels during the course of their presidency. now, this was during a transition. trump was not the president. jared kushner was not yet a white house official. on the other hand it was an incoming administration. incoming administrations do talk with foreign powers. >> shannon: i'll read a little bit from "the new york times" this morning. the trump transition was unique in its unwillingness to use the government communications line and briefing materi

with that as a back drop byron york, good day to you. the story comes in bits and pieces. put them together as we think we understand it. >> it is one of these stories you have to take what you know from one place and then the other. the "washington post" story is not the whole story. general mcmasters story is not the whole story. the president tweets are not the whole story. what it appears we know is that the president did reveal some sort of classified information in this meeting with the russians related to the publicly announced ban on the carrying of laptop computers onto flights from the middle east to the united states and proposed or possible ban on those flights from europe to the united states. the question is how serious is what he discussed. was it a serious breach or not. there appears to be a genuine difference of opinion on this. we've heard a lot of hysterical comments about it. others like ben sasse you just played a quote from him, this morning he is no big fan of the president. said he thought the reaction was, quote, a little over heated. other lawmak

. >> bill: chief political correspondent byron york. is there a consensus developing that you can tell? >> there seems to be a consensus the candidate needs to be above politics. that's interesting. a number of the candidates that john just mentioned like john corrin or mike rogers who might have an edge. townsend and fisher. in a normal time they could expect a pretty easy confirmation. this is not a normal time and we're already seeing democrats not only say that the nominee should be apolitical but threatening to delay or block any nominee until president trump agrees to a special prosecutor in the russia case. so this is clearly going to be very, very political whoever trump picks. >> bill: harry reid changed the rules. you only need 51 votes in the senate. give me names. who do you think fits the qualifications given the times that you just described? >> i think one possibility is from the rank of the nation's judges. a couple of people are already on the list that john just mentioned. and there is still merit garland out there. th

byron york, good morning to you. your question, what did flynn do? are we any closer to that answer? >> no. after all the talk we have yesterday we still don't know what it was originally that michael flynn did that set off all of this concern. sally yates testified that she went to the white house and explained to the white house counsel flynn's quote underlying conduct that was problematic in and of itself. what was it? she wouldn't say. now, a lot of the talk among senators and others is that it was simply the act of flynn talking to the russian ambassador during the transition and talking about sanctions to the russian ambassador. we do know or think we know that flynn did lie about that inside the white house. he told vice president pence that he didn't do it. so that's clearly an issue. but this underlying conduct. what was it that was so problematic that made flynn vulnerable to blackmail as sally yates said. still don't know. >> bill: was it sanctions, money, neither? today we're guessing, byron. >> she explained her knowledge is based in cla

. >> shannon: for more on the president's triplets owe bring in byron york. the president is fresh off saudi arabia, gave an important speech there on terrorism and we'll talk more about that. looking ahead to the statements he is making in israel. the solo visit to the western wall. people will look into every word he says and action he takes. what's the u.s. saying about jerusalem and who it belongs to. >> the whole actual existence of the western wall where it is became a controversy in the last few days with h.r. mcmaster the national security advisor punting on the question. so you are absolutely right. everything the president says will come into question but i think he is -- and also john roberts' report was filled with words of caution about a middle east deal and very appropriately so. but this bigger theme of the israelis and the arabs having a common interest in opposing iran is something that donald trump actually can make progress on. he doesn't come back to washington with a middle east peace deal but he comes back to washington with more unity

for us joining us now chief political correspondent for the washington xmer fox news contributor byron yorkits into what we have seen as a pattern as leaks in this trump-russia affair story comes out enough details to sound sensation al not enough to know what happened i must say looking at all stories, about this supposed back channel, it is very difficult to figure out actually what happened here. is a back channel a bad idea in the first place what designed to discuss who asking youed it were they going to the russian's place or somewhere else, we don't know much of anything, about the story i think that maybe the big picture to remember is this was an incoming presidential administration, they were dealing with affairs of state like flynn incoming national security adviser talking to russians it wasn't crazy for incoming administration, to be talking to foreign kinds, so i think you have to keep that in mind during all of these stories. dagen: the terms back channel are thrown around as if but redact channel secretary of state hillary clinton began negotiations that led to the iran nucl
