The Byron York Show

There’s been a lot of commentary in recent days about President Trump, the election, and martial law. It is unclear what the president himself thinks about it — he tweeted that reports were “fake news” and “knowingly bad reporting” — but it is clear that his former national security adviser, retired General Michael Flynn, is […]

The Electoral College has voted to elect Joe Biden president. That is done. But there is one more step in the process. On January 6, Congress will officially ratify the Electoral College vote and declare Biden the president-elect. Now, though, there is talk that some House Republicans will try to disrupt the ceremony. The plan, […]

With the meeting of the Electoral College and the Supreme Court’s denial of the Texas case, President Trump is running out of options to challenge the election results. Yes, some supporters believe he still has paths to victory. But to win he needs to change the results in not one, not two, but three states, […]

After months of stonewalling Trump efforts to pass targeted, short-term relief for millions of Americans suffering in the pandemic, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has changed her mind. What she blocked before is now OK. Why? Because, Pelosi explained, there’s a new president and a vaccine on the way. Huh? Didn’t the absence of a vaccine […]

Some in the media knew the story of the trip before Trump even flew to Valdosta, Georgia on Saturday. The president would rant about election results and in the process undermine purpose of trip — to campaign for Republican Senators Kelly and David Perdue. News accounts, even the ones published after Trump’s speech, reflected those […]

Wednesday witnessed one of the most extraordinary events in recent political history. With two critical Senate races underway in Georgia — with Republican control of the Senate at stake — two prominent allies of a Republican president traveled to the state to urge voters not to vote for Republican candidates.

Attorney General William Barr has appointed John Durham as special counsel investigating the Trump-Russia investigation. Durham’s new status will make it harder for Biden to fire him. It also clears the way for a public report. And that means we will learn more about the FBI’s effort to target the 2016 Trump campaign. People who […]

Remember the dossier? Many journalists (not to mention the FBI) worked hard to confirm its allegations against Donald Trump. They failed miserably. But even then, some Democrats, and their allies in the press, refused to admit the dossier was BS. Instead, they argued that since it had not been proven untrue, it must be true. […]

Republican Rep. Devin Nunes has been in the middle of Trump wars on Capitol Hill. In this podcast, we discuss some scenes from my new book, Obsession: Inside the Washington Establishment’s Never-Ending War on Trump, in which he played a prominent role. Like, what happened when Republicans took over the secret room where Democrats were […]

It’s like Russiagate all over again, this time with the Post Office. The news is filled with reports of President Trump’s “assault” on the U.S. Postal Service. The president, Democrats say, is deliberately slowing mail delivery and crippling the Postal Service so that it cannot handle an anticipated flood of voting by mail in the […]

You’ve been hearing it for a long time: President Trump will refuse to accept the election results if he loses in November. But now, a secretive group of former government officials has worked through a number of scenarios for the election, and guess what they found? War-gaming a scenario in which Trump lost the popular […]

This is the first “Byron York Show” podcast since February. Even though it’s the no chit-chat podcast, I need to explain what’s been going on. The short version: I have written a book. It’s about the long effort to remove President Trump from office, and it will be published on September 8. The title is […]

So now the Senate has acquitted President Trump on both articles of impeachment. It is the end of a Senate trial marked by wild predictions and intense speculation. So with it all over, it’s time to look at the things that were said about the trial — Republicans will defect! John Roberts will take charge! […]

A special edition from Iowa, where Democrats are struggling with a number of unpalatable options in their presidential caucuses. The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway got her first chance to observe the 2020 version of Joe Biden in action, and her reaction is…not entirely optimistic for the former vice president’s chances. Meanwhile, President Trump is making an […]

On Friday a new movie, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas In His Own Words,” will open in theaters across the country. The most striking thing about it is obvious from the beginning: The famously publicity-shy Supreme Court justice is talking. A lot. Thomas spoke to filmmaker Michael Pack for 30 hours — yes, 30 hours — […]
