Washington Examiner senior columnists Byron York and Michael Barone launch a new weekly politics talk show Friday, focusing on 2016. In the opening edition — the Amtrak disaster, the Dems’ cave of trade and Jeb Bush’s blunder on Iraq.
In this episode, York and Barone offer their insight into this week’s headlines.

Also this episode, debate over a “fast-track” trade deal made waves on Capitol Hill this week, pitting Senate Democrats against the Obama White House. Is this political theater, or something more?
And in the race for the White House, presumed Republican candidate Jeb Bush is facing criticism over his response to a question about the Iraq war. Byron and Barone want to know, can he find a way to differentiate himself from his older brother?
