brad blakeman thank you for coming in. liberal silicon valley companies facebook apologizing after one of its top executives sat two rows behind justice brett kavanaugh at his confirmation hearing. it turns out he's a friend of justice kavanaugh. also this story coming up. google not apologizing after one of its top executives made some really nasty anti-republican comments after justice kavanaugh was confirmed we've got those comments for you my next guest is an attorney suing google over anti-conservative bias, we're excited, she's all fired up, stay there. what the heck is that?! whoa! what truck brand comes from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road? i think it's the chevy. ford. is it ford? nope, it's not ford. i think it's ram. is it ram? not ram. that's a chevy! it's chevy! that's right. from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. gorgeous. chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these. - [narrator] at athene, we think it's time for

brad blakeman. they could not find any witnesses to corroborate dr.ord's allegations. >> when their leadership says brett does not deserve the presumption of innocence. that tells you everything you need to know. they are not interested in corroboration or brett's innocence. what they are interested in is the result, judge kavanaugh to be denied something he's entitled to, something he earned. finally we are getting joe man chis chin and others to step up to the plate. it's about fairness and it's about the rule of law and the presumption of innocence. even though it's not a court of law. liz: do you think protesters will have any effect on pressuring senators to vote against kavanaugh? >> not at this point. but after the fbi investigation they didn't find anything. ultimately this has to be about facts. i recognize in these types of allegations we want to be careful. but there weren't enough facts to make a difference. we need to be a democracy of facts. it just wasn't there. >> let's turn the tables. say the was a democrat nominee facing these accus

here is brad blakeman, former staffer for president gw bush.to admit, kavanaugh you had on your side. you thought that was boosting republican chances for the midterms. if the market trouble that we had this week continues into next week and all the way to the election that will make it tough for republicans. >> it certainly will because people tend to vote with their pocketbooks. and we have an up hill battle, history as you pointed out is against us. not since the civil war, typically the party that controls the white house loses about 33 how seats and two senate seats. we can't afford that. if we did lose that amount we would lose the majority. the economy, the economy, the economy what we have to focus on -- david: having said all that, some democrats saying it will be like 2010 was for democrats. i don't see it anywhere near there, in 2010 the democrats lost net, lost 64 seats in the house. the house became republican after having been democrat for a couple of terms. so, that kind of reversal, particularly when you look at senate race this

melissa: brad blakeman, thank you. appreciate your time.nell: whiplash on wall street ahead of the midterms. we've been all over the place in the markets. why the president is saying a vote for democrats would be a vote against americans wallets. i feel like i heard a debate about that somewhere. we'll be back. six in the morning. she thought it was a fire. it was worse. a sinkhole opened up under our museum. eight priceless corvettes had plunged into it. chubb was there within hours. they helped make sure it was safe. we had everyone we needed to get our museum back up and running, and we opened the next day. connell: breaking news after the bell, facebook earnings report. a lot of anticipation for the report. now the stock is trading higher in after-hours trading following earning per share beat, $1.76 per share, versus estimate of $1.47. when we reported numbers to you, facebook reported annual slightly lower than estimates and lower user growth than analysts were looking for. jack and shanna are back with their impressions of this. jack

arthel: kristin and brad blakeman, thank you, brad.ought -- i know your name by heart and i'm like no i don't. [laughter] arthel: take care, guys. eric: president trump again calling this the caravan election during his rally just held this afternoon in nevada. peter doocy is covering the rally, he's reporting from there. he's at the report or -- no you're not. you're at the rally, right, peter? >> the rally was at the airport, we watched air force one blast off. the president during his swing to the west was treating immigration policy like a local issue, i will have the highlights next. sleep and get u. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid, plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. when the guy in frontd down the highway slams on his brakes out of nowhere. you do, too, but not in time. hey, no big deal. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your rates over one mistake. you hear that, karen? liberty mutual doesn't hold grudges.

brad blakeman, ways your reaction to this story?of countries that allow this kind of mass immigration through many countries to get to the united states, including mexico. they don't get here without transversing many countries. so this is a thumb in the eye of the administration. they are not doing any favors to those families. if we have to increase aid for that to happen. coming to this country illegally is not going to solve the kind of crisis that's being developed in our border. liz: leslie stahl is facing backlash for questioning donald trump that the obama administration was not involved in separating children at the border. >> the forced separation of children from their parents. >> it was on the books but he didn't enforce it. you enforced it. liz: it turns out that's not true. in 2016, according to the department of health and human services 20,000 children were placed by the obama administration in foster care because their parents were incarcerated. in 2015 it was 21,000. this policy has been around since the clinton er

ed: joining me for what we expect to be a friendly debate is brad blakeman, former deputy assistant to former president george w. bush and former chair of the political action committee. scott, start with you. it's funny when he comes out as kavanaugh, i'm starting out at 11 and going to go to 15. there's been lampooning. matt damon got in hot water for almost covering for harvey weinstein. is he somebody who should be speaking out about brett kavanaugh right now? >> "snl" thinks he should. it's comedy. it's comedy, and i think it's funny because matt damon did get close to getting caught up in harvey weinstein, so the fact that he's playing it, if it wasn't so serious, it would be funnier. i think he hit the mark in regard to judge kavanaugh. i understand he was upset and must be hard on his family, much like it's hard on dr. ford. his question -- his answering of the democratic senator's questions over the top, and raises questions about judicial temperament. but i think the fbi getting involved this week, so long as they don't have limitation says a good thing, and america needs to

brad blakeman, with us. as we're talking, really fascinating to watch the stock market trade today, people watching it earlier, i don't know where the bottom is. stuart's show, down 400, 500, you said this might be quote, unquote capitulation people talk about you will at time, but then we started to claw our way back. some buyers came back into the market and the chart you see on the screen shows the dow coming all the way back from leaves more than 500 points. the s&p 500 is a broader gauge of the market. that is what people were watching when it broke through a correction level. down 10% from a recent high, when it was down over 70 points on the average. now it is down 22 points. if it closes 67 or more points lower it would be in the correction territory. at moment it escaped that, what does that all mean, how are people interpreting last nights earnings and this morning's economic reports we have much more when we come back, "cavuto: coast to coast." on a busy, busy friday. we're back in a moment. worse

bush, republican strategist brad blakeman.f which side has more momentum that it was able to grab from the kavanaugh outcome. make your case as to why it's the democrats, i would imagine you're going to say, who has that swell of movement. >> well, it's hard to stay angry when you've won. i mean, brett kavanaugh is on the supreme court, so i find it really hard to believe that 30 days from now blue collar republican voters are going to be worked up about brett kavanaugh, a guy who probably reminds him more of ted mcginley's character in revenge of the nerds. democrats were already fired up, and they're coming out. and i'll make one more point, the republican base is pretty consistent. they are pretty solid. they come out for every election. dogcatcher, congress. whatever it is, they show up at the polls. the democratic base is a little more wishy washy. they have to be motivated to come out, and every poll we've seen -- including polls that show increasing republican enthusiasm -- show the democratic base incredibly fired up,

stuart: brad blakeman, thank you as always being with us. have a big hour for you on "varney & company." golf legend turned international businessman greg norman is with us. he has businesses all over the world. i want to know how the international business world sees president trump and sees america. he will be on the set with me shortly. >>> president trump criticized christine blasey ford last night at his rally in mississippi. i want to know what martha maccallum's take on that is. she will join us later this hour. >>> trade deal with canada and mexico clears the way for talks with china. i want to know how far off of a deal with china we are. one of the testimony voices on china is here. you're watching the second hour of "varney & company." ♪ how do you win at business? stay at laquinta. where we're changing with contemporary make-overs. then, use the ultimate power handshake, the upper hander with a double palm grab. who has the upper hand now? start winning today. book now at lq.com. their medicare options... before they're on medica

brad blakeman is back in the city. former clinton advisor richard good steen is here.elly jane torrance. we rode out the kavanaugh hearings together. >> it was quite a -- >> bill: it was some day. let's talk about what's happening on immigration. what is your sense? >> i never thought i would agree with harry reid but he is right. you don't reward law breakers for citizenship with their children. as far as the president is concerned trick-or-treat. he is tricking the legislature and courts to act on this. although we've allowed it doesn't mean its constitutional. it fires up the base on an issue burning on immigration. this is a small part of the overall problem. >> julie: first of all, the president said we're the only country that grants birthright citizenship. there are 30 other countries that do grant the same but on that note, could he possibly change that law? it is written in the constitution, the 14th amendment allows this to be a law here in our country. >> donald trump needs an other, right? so this caravan thing, shep smith says there is no invasion, nobody

brad blakeman. thanks. it's 11 in new york city.kage forcing the evacuation of cnn studios in new york city as the secret service confirms it has intercepted possible explosive devices addressed to former president obama and hillary clinton. the white house watching all this quite closely as we say welcome back to our coverage along with sandra smiths. i'm bill hemmer. straight to john roberts watching this from the white house with more from there. what do you have? >> good morning. clearly the white house is watching all of this with keen interest. first of all just want to clarify that there were reports the morning that a suspicious package had been found addressed to the white house. that, in fact, i'm told, by the u.s. secret service is not the case. they had packages that were addressed to the clintons found in west chester county and a package that was found at a mail sorting facility in an off-campus mail sorting facility addressed to president obama. all former presidents' mail is screened whether it's obama, bush, carter,

brad blakeman, former deputy assistant to george w. bush is here with us this morning.d more to the point, philippe raynes treating out that he blames trump for this. >> outrageous. when any group of people seeks to terrorize the united tape, we as americans, this is beyond the pale to matter who the intended them was or is. just because there's democratic figures targeted right now doesn't mean that it's the end of it. it doesn't even mean that was the ultimate intent of it. the good news is these weren't detonated. now we have the full signature of the packages for forensic people to do their work. secret service does their job excellently. the fact that they found the syntax and were able to stop it. we should come together as americans and be vigilant because there could be another out there. stuart: i've got a cut it short. you come all the way to new york to sit next to me. and they give you 90 seconds. very sorry about that. active newsday. appreciate it. u.n. released a report which said humans only have 12 years left to avoid an environmental catastrophe. sound

brad blakeman is here with us in new york city today. house, the committees, powerful committees will be run by old-line democrats who hate president trump. i don't think that is a very good idea. >> it's a terrible strategy, i think for democrats. inmates running the asylum. revenge time. gridlock we never seen if that were to happen and it is the old guard. there is a real fight in the democratic party, who they are, what they stand for. the young guard who call them socialist democrats. and then you have the old guard who are, basically socialist liberals themselves but not to the degree of the younger crowd. stuart: the old guard chairs these committees, maxine waters is 80 years old. she takes financial services. >> yeah. stuart: gerald nadler is in his 70s. he takes judiciary, so on down the line. it is old leftist guard. >> absolutely. stuart: that takes control. i got to get back to this. the toxicity of our politics will only get worse if this happens. i don't think america likes it. >> no. if they win they lose, because at the

joining me now, brad blakeman, former deputy assistant to bush 43. you hear that? >> that is an excuse for bad behavior. charles: is it an excuse or actually a clarion call, is it a call for bad behavior, violent behavior? >> continued bad behavior. this started when donald trump took the oath of office, part of the resistance. the problem with democrats is, they're in a conundrum. what are they? are they socialist democrats? are they traditional democrats? you have has-beens like hillary clinton trying to define the party which is clear fodder to us. we want to see hillary out there. we want to see cortez out there. we want to make them the focal point of resistance versus results. we're results. charles: "washington post" wrote an op-ed the democratic party isn't even a discernible coalition, subset of angry sub roots, hollywood hypocrites and hecklers and stalkers on capitol hill. there is no leadership, a vacuum of leadership and you get this kind of stuff. it is one thing and fine politically for the gop, but when you start talking violence that
