joining us to tal about what could lie ahead for stocks is jeff bush, partner at the washington update jeff. e back. >> thank you for having me. >> let's set the stage if we could. the fourth quarter traditionally, how does it fare for the market and is it different this year given some of the disruptions from washington? >> well, the fourth quarter generally is a good time for the market and there's no doubt about that, and what's unique in this mid-term cycle versus previous midterm cycles is you have a bifurcation between the perceived and pro-business friendly replican donald trump platform and the platform that the democrats are moving to which isbe perceived t a little less business friendly. things like medicare for all and so forth. so i do believe there'sbe goingo bit of a challenge or a softening effect through the fourth qrter of this year especially if the democrats take the majority in the house iner novef this year. >> that's what i was going to say, is that the key to howrk ts might perform if we do see changes in the house and/ the senate? >> i do believe, i think what

prepared the plans for his funeral, including invitations to former presidents obama and bush to deliver eulogies. cnn's jeffts he phoned obama in april. george w. bush got a similar call. both were surprised because both denied the senator, senator mccain the white house. they beat him in various elections. another surprise detail is who senator mccain asked to serve as one of his pallbearers. shea russian national and vigorous opponent of vladimir putin named vladimir kara-murza. temperature for being with us. how did you find out that senator mccain want you'd to be a pall bearer at his memorial service? >> senator mccain passed the message through a mutual friend back in april. he was planning his funeral service, and he conveyed the message that he liked me to be one of the pallbearers. and i have to tell you, i didn't want to think about it or speak about it. this is the deepest honor, but of course it's the most heartbreaking honor and the saddest honor you can think of. and i think it's symbolic that among a small group of people that senator mccain has chosen to be his pall bearers at his memorial s

bush and barack obama. i am here with sadness to say jeff kavanaugh, you don't belong in this building as a justice. >> the extraordinary career and -- the strength that left me profoundly impressed. the point i'm making here is that the 35 month amount of time -- ripe with issues of a constitutional moment. the reason that the american what wasve to know said. those are things that the republicans are hiding from the american people. >> let's not waste more time. judge kavanaugh was supremely qualified for the supreme court. >> watch day one of the nomination hearing for brett kavanaugh. watch any time on c-span.org or anytime on the radio mobile app. richard haass spoke earlier this week. he was previously the state department policy planning director during the george w. bush of ministration. this is one hour.

i want to bring my panel in, jeff darvis, he's a professor as well as a blogger. elise jordan, former aide to george w. bush and my dear friend senator bob sortorsi. jeff, to you first, if i bran beyer aspirin, and there were contaminated aspirin around the country, you know what i'd do, pull all of the aspirin offer the shelves until we figure it out. >> most of what happens on facebook is good. >> most of the aspirin in grocery stores are okay. >> look for your feed and tell me where you find the nazis. we have to switch around, facebook did finally get its act together. facebook is our best ally in this fight. we have the head of dhs saying, oh, i don't see any russian stuff going on. facebook is our best defense, that's where we are. so, they are -- >> they took ad dollars from these outside influences. >> they take ad dollars from a lot of people. so do media company and so do all of us. if we want to look at an outside influencer, three blocks away at fox institution and rupert murdoch. let's try to get perspective on where this goes. facebook had a big problem, they're finally addressing it late, but

bush will difference eulogies on senator mccain's request. maybe not a subtle message to donald trump who mccain did not want there, but to a divided country as well. jeff of friendly history between mccain and bush and obama. >> and that was a question so many had. president president obama developed some type of a relationship with mccain that we didn't know about. so i talked to friends of both men and it turned out they really hasn't. but you in april, he said will he deliver a eulogy for me. shortly after, he made the phone call to george w. bush. of course two rivals, the two men who stopped mccain from winning the presidency. but all part of the lesson and message mccain is trying to send out. and so i talked to steve dupre, and he explained it like this. he said i think john mccain is imparting a lesson in civility by asking the two men who defeated him to speak as an example to america that differences in political views an contests shouldn't be so important. he goes on to say that we lose our common bounds in the civility that is or used to be a hallmark of american democracy. so is something clear senator mccain trying to give a message here

bush white house. reuters white house correspondent jeff mason. and ron complain, a former chief of staff to vice president joe biden. jeff, let me ask you first, how to explain this president, refusing to lower the flag, refusing all of those opportunities, and only yielding after the american legion, the veterans of foreign wars, and other groups spoke out so strongly against what he was doing in the aftermath of the death of john mccain, a period of national mourning. >> absolutely, andrea. and, you know, it's very difficult to explain. i think the way to start perhaps is just to look at how president trump reacts to things like this. his animosity for mccain was extremely well-known and he did not back down from that even in death, which drew a lot of criticism from people who knew senator mccain and who know president trump. it was very unusual yesterday to be here at the white house and to see the flag not at half-staff. i can tell you, just having spoken to some other white house officials about it yesterday, before the flag was taken down

bush. welcome back. scott and a. scott. let's get to it. the president and his tweets this morning going after jeff sessions again.aid at the top of the show, the president has been attacking jeff sessions more than a year now, but this week it happened more often and has seemed to be a little more fierce, attacks from the president. many in congress support the president. here's california republican da dana roar bach. >> the fact that jeff sessions, if he disagrees with what the president wants him to do, he should resign. >> is that the standard, scott jennings? >> well, i mean, i think if donald trump wants to get rid of jeff sessions, he can fire him. he does serve at the pleasure of the president. it is clear jeff sessions made the decision he is not going to be run out of town. so right now they're left with the decision of whether to fire him or not. i think they should not fire jeff sessions. i think it would send a terrible signal, be politically disastrous to try to decapitate the department of justice. i think jeff sessions has done a good job implementing the president's agenda. the president is upset

bush who became president after running against mccain as well. this week is the arizona senate primary. jeff flake senate seat. he did not run for re-election as somebody critical of president trump, he saw it was too difficult to win a republican primary. and i think this week as joe biden's statement points out is an opportunity for perhaps his legacy, this moment in time, to -- for republicans to take stock of what they're role is of putting party above -- of country above party and that will be one of the many themes of the week as this day plays out. >> thank you, mike. that '08 campaign was a great snapshot of the two men, biden and mccain on opposite sides but still preserving that friendship and that civility in politics. michael, when you think about that, the roles that they played and how mccain could have become president but still carved out this unique legislative role and leader of human rights around the world which perhaps is larger than anything he might have accomplished at that point. even from the white house given the economic wreckage and all of the difficulties that a

bush and dave brown, democratic strategists and former senior adviser and committee council to washington senator patty murray. president trump keeps pushing jeffons to probe hillary clinton and the democrats considering the public nature of the criticism, brad, are you surprised sessions -- sessions -- excuse me, has not resigned? >> no, i think if anything he wants to be fired and it's clear senators have made it clear that at this stage before the midterms it's not a very good idea to let sessions go and would only get ourselves involved an give democrats a great talking point for the fall because it's up to the senate to confirm the president's next choice, so it doesn't make political sense, the timing is bad and sessions right now, i think, is -- is somebody who is probably on his way out and that'll come after the midterms probably by the end of the year, but the president i don't think has the leverage he thinks he does with regard to the fbi and the justice department because you can't demand them to do something they just won't do, the only other thing to do is to let people go and replacements i don't think are going to be anymore fa

bush presidential library. the request mirrors, not surprisingly, almost word for word the request i sent with then-senator jeff sessions for justice kagan. we simply can't have a lower standard of transparency for donald trump's nominees than for the past nominees of both republican and democratic presidents. the fact that the judiciary committee is willing to move forward without judge kavanaugh's full record is especially in alignment -- is especially alarming because the last time judge kavanaugh testified before the senate under oath, he appeared to provide a misleading account of his work in the bush white house. at his 2006 confirmation hearing, i and other senators asked about his knowledge of several bush-era scandals, including wireless wiretapping, torture, detainee treatment. judge kavanaugh testified he had no knowledge of it at all until he read about it in the paper. he testified in response to a question from senator durbin that he was not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants, again under oath. but a year after his confirmation, press reports indicated that

i was talking to jeff flake about this earlier, is his choice for the -- among the eulogists, two people who broke his heart, denying him the opportunity to be president. george w. bush very difficult south carolina race, you're a south carolinian, the race was a bitter issue then, and they made their peace in ensuing years, including his support for the iraq surge, and getting the president to agree to that. and then of course barack obama, and again, the mccain concession speech in 2008 is one of the great political speeches of our time, of any time in terms of grace and mobility. >> mm-hmm, right. and so these were two men who were important to john mccain, not necessarily in what looked like a positive way at first. but as usual, he's making a point. he's making a point by having these two men speak at his funeral and it is a point about our political system of the way it works and supposed to work. it is also by the way it does not work now or it is not working now. because george w. bush and barack obama can share a stage and have a conversation and can agree on basics of the american system and our democracy of our political discourse, in a way, frankly the cu

jeff, you can do it. the country is waiting. joining me right now, a former u.s. attorney general under president george w. bushhere this morning. it's good to see you this morning. >> good morning, maria. maria: your reaction to this public argument going on between jeff sessions and the president. >> it's quite remarkable, isn't it? i think jeff sessions more than probably any other cabinet official has done a good job in promoting this president's policies and priorities and i think many people would question whether or not he deserves to be fired. every cabinet official serves at the presiden service of the pre. what i fear is constant criticism of the attorney general makes the president appear weak to some people because he criticizes and criticizes and does nothing about it. it also undermines the authority and effectiveness of the attorney general and i think adversely affects the morale at the department of justice. i say all this not to try to get jeff sessions fired but to try to encourage the president to be mindful of what this criticism does. if he truly is unhappy with the service of the attorney

bush and co-host of "the five" on the fox news channel, it is dana perino. welcome back. >> it's good to be here. men. kennedy: so jeffs a lightning rod in this administration, and it's really interesting because those two were so close. jeff sessions took him around congress and introduced him to very kept call senators and congressmen and women, and now they couldn't be more opposite. >> i don't think they are actually that opposite. there's the one issue, which i'll get to, that the president's mad about. other than that, i think the president backs him on his position on drugs. i think he likes what he's trying to do on criminal justice reform. i think he likes what he's doing on health care, going after the pharmaceutical companies. i actually think jeff sessions is probably doing exactly what president trump wants on all of those other issues except for one. if the president has the courage of his convictions, instead of trying to dehumanize and malign his attorney general and basically trying to destroy the institution of the department of justice, fire him. kennedy: do you feel bad for him? >> no, i don't. eve

bush. the former president is honored to be asked to speak. barack obama will also be there. but perhaps the most poignant statement came from mccain's fellow arizonan, senator jeff it's tough. i'm going to miss him. i've admired him my entire life. it's tough to imagine the senate without him. it's tough to imagine politics without john mccain. but we need to go on. >> reporter: the coming week will be a commemoration of senator mccain's life, first here in arizona. his body will lie in state on wednesday, and then to washington where he will lie in state in the u.s. capitol with a funeral on saturday. terry moran, abc news, sedona, arizona. >>> president trump's two-line condolence tweet that we've heard a lot about this morning is drawing criticism, even from some republicans. >> the "washington post" reports white house aides had pushed for a statement that acknowledged mccain's service in vietnam and called him a hero, but sources tell the post the president rejected those plans and opted for a tweet that showed no praise for mccain. >>> two were killed at a video game tournament. the jacksonville event was being streamed online and viewers could hear the mo

jeff sessions and omarosa are not the only people who donald trump has grown disinterrupteled with or resigned or been fired. seven cabinet secretaries have left under duress or under their own power. george w. bush, by comparison, four cabinet secretaries. 57% -- these aren't my numbers. these are the brookings institute a think tank down here in d.c. 57% of donald trump's top staff, including cabinet officials have turned over already, 18 months into this. i want to show a picture, because this really speaks to it. let's quickly run through what we are looking at. corey lewandowski. if you don't know scaramucci, and you know omarosa. gorka, and in the background, that's rob porter the former staff secretary. how many of these people -- these people were all working at the white house when this picture was dayen. how many of them work at the white house now, brooke? >> zero. >> zero. >> zero. >> all of these people are gone. and i will tell you it's not just this picture, again, six in ten top level trump staffers do not work at the white house anymore. 18 months. it's the kind of boss he is. he plays people against one another. he is willing to possible publicly shame people as he has done we p

news that attorney general jeff sessions will stay on at least until the mid-term elections in november. karl rove was deputy white house chief of staff to president george w. bush on this. karl, the president has long made it plain he is unhappy with his own attorney general and justice department. he feels the campaign that put him in the oval office is getting a raw deal while everybody in the justice department he seems to think is treating the hillary clinton campaign with kid gloves. what are your thoughts? >> i think it's unwise for any president of any party to look like he is demanding that the justice department investigate his political opponents. it is just unseemly. i think a good test of this is turn about. what if hillary clinton had won the election? would we be excited about hillary clinton calling upon her attorney general to investigate donald trump over the meeting at the trump tower? bill clinton, would it have been seemly if he had said i want ronald reagan lied about iran-contra and i want him investigated and colonel oliver north needs to go to jail or casper weinberger, who was pardoned by president george w. bush, we need to get behind
