susan: since 1995.rian: you have appeared on a lot of television shows, especially during this period we are living in right now. what is your reaction to the distrust, dislike, strong reaction to the mueller decision that don't like what the media have done over the last two years? susan: i am so distressed by the loss of faith in the mainstream news media by americans. i think it is troubling and damaging to democracy. i think we have to do a better job of being fair and smart and transparent and making our readers and viewers know that we are being fair and smart and transparent to rebuild that trusted think it's one of the biggest challenges our democracy faces right now. brian: what caused this? susan:i don't think one thing caused it. i don't think one thing will fix it. you know, i think the proliferation of news outlets as been one thing that has changed the way people get news and who they trust. i think the rise of fake news is one factor, not the only one. but it is one factor, deliberate mis

susan: yes.rian: what was her position on dying? susan: she was ready to die. brian: why? susan: she was mentally sharp but physically in a lot of pain. she was not afraid to die, she was a person of great faith so dying was not the end of things. but she worried about him, she worried about her husband and how would he do if she died first? both of them worried about that, both of them worried about how the other would fare if they died first and i think it kept her alive for a while, the idea that she did not want to leave him. but the time came when her physical health was in such decline that her life was going to end and they had this final conversation in the den of their home, a place where i sat and interviewed her while doing the book, and they gave each other kind of permission to move on. george bush said to barbara bush, i'm not going to worry about you, and she said to him, i am not going to worry about you. and then they had a drink. brian: how many of the children did you talk to?

susan: i'm susan lee in for charles payne. president trump threatening to put tariffs on $11 billion of worth of eu goods. that includes, wine, cheese, airplanes. we're all over these markets that comes your way. any moment from now the irs commissioner will face off with house democrats days after they demanded the release of president trump's tax returns. we'll bo live to capitol hill to bring all the action. new legal trouble for actress lori loughlin and her fashion designer husband. the couple getting hit with a new charge in the sweeping college admissions scandal. we'll break down charges for you. cnbc tweets out a bizarre headline calling most millionaires psychopaths. guess what? aoc pounces. will this attack on success of capitalism end? all that and more on "making money". house democrats grill attorney general william barr. we have a very busy blake burman. blake? reporter: busy on both ends of pennsylvania avenue, let's start on that end of capitol hill. the irs commissioner is expected to testify on capitol hill.

susan: why? they are very similar in the sense they were losing money going into their ipo, they had a big pop on their first day and they couldn't carry through because the numbers and the business didn't justify it. >> i would say it's like comparing apples with dragonfruit. you are talking about a company that everyone says oh, my god, it sounds really cool, it's sexy, it's very exotic but when you try it, you say huh, i don't know what the fuss is all about. i think that's similar with snap. with lyft, you have a $2 billion revenue company, growing 100% year over year. with snap, you have a company that went public with $400 million in revenue but $500 million in losses. susan: okay. you are also losing $900 million a year in lyft. you're not going to be, by the way, probably profitable until 2022, 2023 according to guggenheim today. they are saying you might be a little bit overvalued, especially if you are looking at $1.2 billion loss in 2019. >> that's right. but if you take a look at the

susan: it's both. democrats believe there has been wrongdoing in each of the menstruation, and with president trump, since he was a candidate. they also believe that they can win in 2020, if they create a cloud of suspicion over the even -- you know, , they may well believe that the cloud is legitimate, even if many of trump's followers don't believe that. but politics are part of everything in congress these days. and they're just intertwined here. 2020 politics are wrapped up in just about everything. we have divided government. democrats would love to control the senate and the white house in order to move their agenda. they most importantly feel determined to air everything they can about president trump, which is why they've gone after his taxes. that may drag out for a long time. again, they can keep being in this drum beat of, what is he hiding? it gets the public wondering, what's going on with the president? i would also contend that many in the public who don't like the president, don't forge

melissa: susan you mentioned something about that. susan: i did.ina and how they were writing the offer price of the iphone in developing markets and marriage marriage -- emerging market four figures for some of a phone is out of reach for a lot of populations. they have basically changed the pricing model in china to account for the stronger u.s. dollar which every corporation, every company tried to do for the last six months given the strength in the u.s. currency. what is working with them in china is this trade-in program as well. in emerging market as he mentioned they tend to go in for cheaper phones. if you trade in the new phones to get a discount on new iphones, that is helping sales as well. >> susan also, let me ask you, you're on the phone talking to the cfo. what was the temperature like? were you getting a sense you were sold, this was great quarter? what was your impression of the overall conversation? what did they want to you walk away with? susan: the numbers tell it all. we had embargoed copy. needless to say very impressive, be

susan: very soon. yeah. stuart: susan, thank you very much. attorney general barr suggesting that the trump campaign was spied on. the democrats are outraged. here's speaker pelosi. >> let me just say how very, very dismaying and disappointing that the chief law enforcement officer of our country is going off the rails. i don't trust barr. i trust mueller. stuart: okay. joining us, former white house and doj attorney. hasn't this turned the tables? it was russia, russia, russia. now it seems to me it's doj, fbi and an attempted coup. >> well, look, absolutely. i think bill barr has raised significant concerns. he's a very well-respected attorney general. he's had bipartisan support for a long time. this idea now that we're not going to trust bill barr is really concerning. that being said, we should be clear about what barr said. barr said he was concerned about what has taken place. he doesn't know there was illegal spying. he's going to look into it. the real issue here is how do these things happen, how do these orders get obtained. we all

susan: we were talking about media progression. when did the white house easter egg roll get live streamed? jonathan: that was in the clinton administration in the 1990's. susan: how has social media changed it in recent days? i am sure people are sending pictures on the internet. jonathan: there is so many things with games, easter egg roles with activities with the children with the benefit of social media you can see that real-time instead of having to wait, even just a few hours for an internet article to come up. it is literally instantaneous. susan: amplifying the event over and over again. i wonder if any other countries around the world and their leaders have also replicated the easter egg roll since it worked -- it works so well in the united states. jonathan: that is a good question. i don't know, but i know there are some presidential sites that host their own easter egg roll every year. i was just in in ohio for a family birthday and the national a.toric site for james garfield is hosting. we will probably have some sno

[laughter] they seem to be an even worse -- matt: i'm a recovering pharmaceutical executive. jayne: you have spoken out about wanting to do something about drug prices. could you maybe take this opportunity to tell us if they really need such high drug prices for research? matt: you are right. and i think that is one of the fallacies. while the research enterprise needs to be supported, prices are never directly correlated to how much is spent on research and development for a product. when a manufacturer sets a price, they look at, what will the market bear? it has no connection to whether it took 10 years or longer to get a drug approved, or how much they spent specifically on that drug. it really is, what do they think that they can charge, what can they get away with essentially, and still make sure that they have access and get

it was clear the gunman who attacked john and susan sutton aimed to kill. susan died at the scene.d shoulder, somehow survived his injuries. now, struggling to recover in a florida hospital, john was convinced the shooter was planning to finish the job. detectives were questioning their business associates. was it possible the killer worked closer home? here's keith morrison. >> the fact that john sutton was alive at all after the mystery invader killed his wife and shot him in the face was a medical marvel frankly. the rest of the news was not so good. when he was finally able to talk, sutton received a visit from police detectives. susan, police discovered had been having an affair with sutton's law partner, teddy montodo. >> it is upsetting. i am not excusing teddy, i'm not excusing anybody. i don't focus on that. i can't change it. i can't change any of this. it's like a bad dream. >> then the dream got worse. teddy was a possible murder suspect. >> one of the homicides detectives related to me there has been a problem with the polygraph. >> he was actually a suspect. >> i susp

susan what have you got? susan: he will release the mueller report next week.t will be restacked. redacted. barr is telling lawmakers, non-public evidence about trump will not be redacted. lawmakers, mueller's decision not to reach conclusion of obstruction of justice was not a mystery to the department. lawmakers are insisting making decisions what should be redacted in this report. ashley: thank you for those. we'll continue to follow it. the mnuchin budget hear something getting underway. we're watching that for you as well. there is mr. mnuchin. switching gears, bill browder, investor, and kremlin critic, the last time on the show he said mr. putin was trying to kill him. take a listen. >> yeah. putin wants me, he wants to you know, kill me as quickly as he can get me out of the picture in the same way the united states and rest of the world want these russian guys who are hacking elections locked away. ashley: he is warning foreign investors still active in russia they are risking their own lives as well as their client's money. bill browder, hermitage cap

susan: seven minutes left. brian: any more questions? susan: i can find one. jonathan wants to know, would non-incumbent parties have as many primary candidates in previous times as we seem to have in the last two cycles? we are getting close to 20's in the dams. 17 republican candidates. richard: primaries are a relatively recent -- it is part of the progressive era in the early 20th century. starting in wisconsin. it was in the late 40's and 50's that primaries became -- susan: let me ask the question. did we select better candidates in the smoke-filled rooms than we do through the primary process? richard: sure. except for warren harding. [laughter] richard: lincoln, in effect, was a product of the smoke-filled room. brian: would you like to go back to that? richard: as opposed to primaries? yes. the problem with the electoral process today is it is so -- it is like kabuki theater. it is so stylized, so scripted, it is frankly performed with that camera in mind. and that has distorted our democracy are deeply than any other single factor. doug: i think that

>> i said, look, susan really cared about you. she basically thought of you as a daughter. this woman didn't deserve to die like this. john doesn't deserve to be blind the rest of his life. and i know for a fact that garrett did this under the direction of christopher. finally she started crying. and i go, i think i might have her. >> with the tears came a story, what christopher had said to her that just might nail him for murder. >> his parents deserve to die for taking years out of his life. she said this went for years. she interjected i knew it was going to happen. i just didn't know when. >> that night they put juliet who was living with christopher, into protective custody. >> the next day i prepared an arrest warrant for christopher sutton. >> and a female officer paid a visit to christopher's father home alone. >> she says, well, i have good news and bad news. and the good news is -- that we have arrested the assailant. he's admitted it. the bad news he has inculpated your son and said your son set him up. i go, man, oh,

our first speaker today is susan eisenhower. has aappropriate that she unique relationship to dwight eisenhower as a family member and someone who has spent her lifetime scheduling national security and leadership development. she has authored several books and is working on a book about her grandfather's military career. she has a lasting record of paying it forward, from her invited dutch involvement with eisenhower college, and we are fortunate to have her with us. she has carried a torch for do dwight d. eisenhower's legacy while building one of her own. speaker on topics ranging from energy policy to the former soviet union. she is a voice of integrity and engagement and pragmatism. i cannot do justice in a brief introduction, but the eisenhower institute has benefited immensely from her thoughtful leadership. every year for the past several years, gettysburg college students have had the opportunity to gain a far greater understanding of strategy and implementation to her thoughtful mentor ship. major league baseball start

susan: u.s.enators are speaking of this proposal because president trump warned when general motors announced those job cuts, he would take that tax credit away. the fact they are looking to expand it, i'm really surprised. stuart: wonder if it actually goes through. okay. right now, we have the dow industrials up 34 points. i should tell everyone that at about 2:00 this afternoon, we are going to see the minutes from the previous fed meeting. that could move the market, it could move the bond market, i don't know which way it will go. but 2:00 this afternoon, you could see some market moves at that point. >>> i think it's that time where we have to say good-bye to shah and liz. look, thank you very much for being with us this morning. an interesting open to the market. okay. >>> we are up now just 24 points for the dow industrials, 26,174. >>> tease, it says there, so i better do that. here's what i'm teasing you with. at & t rolling out its 5g service to nearly two dozen cities. problem, there

susan, the question is if he doesn't have a good answer on "the view." on day one of his campaign, when will he have a good answer. >> it could not possibly be a surprise that these issues were raised in this interview, and by the way in just about every interview he's going to do in the foreseeable future. how could he not have a crisp, disciplined, compelling response? instead he had a meandering one that left no one satisfied, sorry, not sorry answer, used the passive voice, the mistakes were made voice. that is never a satisfying response. he did not put this issue to rest. this is something that he will continue to face. we saw his strength in this interview. he can be compelling and authentic. he can talk about the empathy from the grief that he suffered in his life, but he also needs to be able to answer these questions in a better way than he did today. >> and nancy cook, biden chose to stress the charlottesville issue as part of his announcement and that struck a cord with a lot of people. before people saw the imagery and heard it in his words

it is hard to see a path if you can't beat susan collins. if you have the most moderate senator endorsing the republicans most moderate senator, it is not necessarily helpful for the campaign. they don't really have a candidate yet so that is part of the why -- reason why he is willing to step out and election is 1.5 years way so it is easier to say that now. collins is a centrist. king actually endorsed her in 2014 but has said, she has not officially launched yet. joe manchin went further. kavanaugh fored the supreme court. that is why she is going to be a target. she has done quite well in her senate contests. at some point, they are going to have a candidate. maybe we'll see him go up there. >> i want to switch gears. thursday afternoon, everyone ller report from the justice department. what do you anticipate? >> i think republicans would say this as well. there is going to be material that does not make the trunk campaign or president look super great. at the same time, as long as what the attorney general put out is essentially a corre

he could say it strikes me just about anything tomorrow night, susan. >> he could. and he may. and previous presidents have chosen not to attends the white house correspondents' dinner. there is no crime. what is the president has done that is different from previous presidents is instruct all of his officials to in effect boycott the dinner. it is one more step in the deterioration of the norms that kept the capitol afloat. it is not that it is so great to have dunner with somebody, but it is a sign of respect for the role of the institution of the press and the democracy. we don't hear much about that from this administration. susan, if memory serves, the dinner begins with the toast of the president of the united states, whether he is present or not. is that still the case, do you remember? >> i think the dinner may close with a toast to the president and the presidency. i would assume that would go forward as in the past. >> something tells me the toast will not be returned in kind, from green bay, wisconsin, but we'll see. plenty to talk about when we come back on monday.

also republican strategist susan dell poersio still with us.as happened today on this saturday, the 13th. and i shared with you and all of our viewers what has been said back and forth on this day. where are we in this discussion? >> what we're seeing, actually, is the fact that mr. trump and his allies have been targeted ilhan omar because of her positions, vocal positions against his racist policies vis-À-vis -- she's been questioning his policies all along. she's woman. she is black. she's muslim. she wears hijab. she has been the favorite target of trump and his allies as they begin his presidential re-election campaign. unfortunately, as we have seen, his tweets have been endangering her life and also the lives of american muslims. to juxtapose the attacks on 9/11 and to blame ilhan omar and the entire american muslim community is really beneath the office of the united states white house and it is beneath our values as americans. and the president has to be condemned for his vicious attacks on who we are as americans instead of uniting us

susan: she was.ns thght of her as america's gndmother, cloud of white hair with a sharp time. but the fact that she was influential behind the her husband's administration and her son's, she is unique in american history, the only person to be the wife d mother of presidents and if to see botc of them in o and she continued to of christ her son -- to advise her son george w. bush, even arguing against the iraq war. jane: she struggled with things like abortion, whether or not she was a finist, and even whether she was a republican. what do you think that says about her character? susan: it says she was constantly willing to think about issues and change her mind. she worried about the issues. you mentioned that she no longer considered result or republican. mewhen she tolhat in february 2018, it was astonishing. she had played a role in seven of the last 10 presidential elections. she had been the face of the republican party. but she was really distressed by the tone president trump took and the dir

it is hard to see a path if you can't beat susan collins. if you have the democrats' most moderate senator endorsing the republicans' most moderate senator, it is not necessarily helpful for the campaign. they don't really have a candidate yet so that is part of why he is willing to step out and the election is a year and a half away so it is easier to say that now the next september or october. >> collins is a centrist. angus king is a centrist. king actually endorsed her in 2014 but has said she has not officially launched yet. he does not have to make the decision. manchin went further. they have known each other a long time. they both backed brett kavanaugh for the supreme court. that is why she is going to be a target. she has had competitive races before and she has done quite well in her senate contests. without a doubt at some point, they are going to have a candidate and maybe we will see manchin go up there. >> i want to switch gears. thursday afternoon, everyone is awaiting the mueller report from the justice department. what do y

susan, the question is if he doesn't have a good alnswer on "the view."n day one of his campaign, when will he have a good answer. >> it could not be a surprise these issues were raised. >> how could he not have a crisp, disciplined compelling response. instead he had a meandering one. it was a stor sorry not sorry a. it was a passive voice. he did not put this issue to rest. this is something that he will continue to face. he can talk about the empathy from the grief that he suffered in his life, but he also needs to be able to answer these questions in a better way than he did today. >> and addressing the charlottesville issue, and it want people forgetting how dark that period was, how hurt they felt as citizens. then the president with prodding from the news media chose to talk about the age, for the record trump is 72, joe biden is 76, here with all of that is the president on the white house lawn today. >> i feel like a young man, i'm so young. i'm the youngest person, i'm a young vibrant man. i look at joe, i don't know about him. i don't know. >>

susan, would you talk about why a national pilot? susan: sure. i thought about this myself, about why would it be necessary and what would be gleaned from it. i think it is important to identify those goals early on. what we hope to accomplish and in doing a national pilot. and i do think a national pilot is necessary. the main thing for me is that it's not realistic for me to have 50 separate programs. and again, not every state has undertaken a pilot project. a handful have. we need a system that can cross state lines. we need a way to do this, because we have a national transportation network, we need to be able to mirror that, at least in philosophy and intent. it is important when congress looks at some specific goals about what issues they want to address, what might have been learned from the regional pilots. i-95 is really our model for the regional approach, because it looks at things like cross state -state travel, interacting with tolling and ez pass and interoperability. i think congress needs to be clear about what they want to learn

i heard you talk about this, susan. and i heard you talk about when you were first given access to her diaries. and what you found when you went through them. it was much more personal than you expected. >> it was extraordinary. just having access. the first time i interviewed her she said don't even ask. the fifth time i interviewed her she said, i've decided to give you access to all my diaries and my -- >> you didn't see coming. >> my words back to her were are you sure? which is not what you should say in that situation. don't let her think about it. exactly. but for whatever reason she gave me access to the diaries which started in 1948. she kept a diary from 1948 until 12 days before her death. >> in remarkable. >> in remarkable detail. >> she kept track of who she saw and what she thought about them an how she felt. it is an extraordinary gift to historians. >> went through a great deal. thought of as one of the strongest people around, in fact, from your book you write, in some ways barbara bush walked the walk

susan, what is going on? susan: this is big deal.an revolutionary guard corps designated as a foreign terrorist group. this is unprecedented. if you do any business with them, you're sponsoring state terrorism. that include as lot of fines that come your way and possible criminal cases as well. yes, there you go. looks like the state department says iranian government, primary use, using revolutionary guard means of directing, implementing global terrorist campaigns. this comes after the treasury treasury, by the way, they put a lot of, shall we say limits how many people you can deal with from iran and some of the sirens groups including as i mentioned, a lot of state departments as well. ashley: it's a big step. susan, thank you very much. let's get back to your money. come in brian wesbury, first trust advisors chief economist. brian, great to have you. >> hey, good morning. ashley: good morning. simply put, you're bullish on the economy, right? why? >> i am. the data got weaker late in the year possibly because they had a hard ti

susan: no touring for another year. ashley: yeah. susan: oh.hat. check the big board, down 77 points on the dow. on since the pretty much the opening bell. >>> uber guess what, may never turn a profit. strange thing to say ahead of a big ipo. let's bring in bradley tusk, tusk holdings ceo. he is the guy that helped uber dominate the new york city market. bradley, this was contained in the prospectus. guess what, they say we may never turn a profit. why would anybody want to invest in the company say that. >> uber there are legal obligations you have to meet. nobody at uber is interested in going to jail for securities fraud. once it goes public the share price is managing expectations f it beats by a couple pennies or below, that is a huge impact on share price. the more you control expectations the more you save money. ashley: company is valued at 100 billion? >> 90 to 100 billion right now. look, when you look at the big picture between ride-sharing, uber eats, uber freight, autonomous vehicles, everything else i feel pretty good about their

susan?and replied that they are going to snap to and follow the us in everything. i think that the australians can take care of themselves but i think the issue, really, is that we have open societies and open democratic societies. china has a less democratic and less open society. the issue is that china is taking advantage of open societies to infiltrate or inappropriately interfere in the political process ina way interfere in the political process in a way that allows it to get a disproportionate advantage from that. the rug? —— parag? -- parag? china's position in the world is not going to be based solely on what is has achieved and on prosperity for its own people. to be admired in the world mean that people also want to see the benefits you bring to them. so belt and road is critical for that. the confucius institute may be part of but fundamentally it comes down to the fa ct fundamentally it comes down to the fact that china is learning that its relationship with the outside world ca

>> susan, where did that piety go?he pious nature of those, especially lindsey graham who had the same care cut then, bha the same basis of judgement, bill clinton was no damn good. this guy, crickets. >> i can't defend it. there is nothing to defend. they show no moral courage. they show no commitment to their job. but at the same time, chris, what you just heard is what the democrats should be saying about donald trump now. they shouldn't worry about politics. i was on your show a few weeks ago or months ago talking about how the republicans need to stand up and follow the constitution and vote against the president's national emergency. the democrats now have to do what they're constitutionally responsible for and hold this president accountable. >> you know, one of the best novels about courtrooms was "presumed innocent." the writer says you have to point your finger in the courtroom at the bad guy and say he did it or she did it. you got to do it. democrats seem to be pulling back from that. they don't want to poi

graham: what susan did is sustainable. if every senator did what she did, you may not vote yes, but you'll at least have a process that is fair to the nominee, consistent with the constitutional understanding of senate, and it would make the country proud. it was logical, thorough, it was reasoned. the process that brett went through is unsustainable, i hope. let me tell you why. who in this room would want to be next if he had failed? anybody who wanted the job after that i probably wouldn't vote , for because you're crazy. the bottom line is if this had worked, they had destroyed this good man and he had to withdraw, i think that would be very difficult for conservative judges in the future to step up and say, hey, let me do this and what i've told my democratic colleagues, if you can do it, we can do it. and it probably would unleash forces on the right. and i am glad brett made it, i'm very proud of the fact that president trump did not pull the plug on brett kavanaugh. a lot of people would have been tempted to do tha

ou woodruff: talk to us, finally, susan, her husband.did outlive her by a number of months, but he never got over her death, did he? >> no, and he wanted to go ba to kennebunkport, i think, one more summer and he was able to do th. an aide told me he was sitting on the pomp at kenthnebunkport last summer aftraer bar had gone and remembered when lkey agreed to get married pau walking up the driveway, two teenagers with an understanding they were going to be together forever. >> woodruff: i rememb said i didn't get down on my knee but we knew we would be married. susan page, a wonrful book, "the matriarch: barbara bush and the making of an american dynasty." thank you. >> thank you, judy. >> nawaz: the songs of loretta lynn have spanned generations of country music fans. millions more came to know here story through 80 film, "coal miner's daughter." this sunday, one of thgreatest figures in american music turns 87, and loretta lynn is a woman who knows how to celebrate.ff jey brown joined her in nashville. it's part of our ongoing coverage

susan li, tell us why.ng because ford actually voluntarily disclosed this to federal agencies and the justice department. they're looking into miscalculation of overstating gas mileage and under stating emissions from a wide range of vehicles. now this sound familiar? vw emissions cheating scandal. it is similar because we know vw paid 13 billion in civil penalties. $3 billion in federal penalties. chrysler also doing the same thing, they made $800 million in civil penalties. compensating jeep and ram customers because they basically installed software that misstated the guidance on emissions. ashley: cheating a little bit. >> unlike vw was premeditated intent with the defeat devices. it is different in number of fines, amount of fines paid. in ford's case they say it is not criminally intent. ashley: because they came forward. put their hand up. susan: it is voluntary. they're tracking what is happening with the software. ashley: ford, as you can see down slightly this morning. >>> ford's market share surp
