walter isaacson is here with us this morning. take a look at futures.this morning, perhaps depending on your politics, perhaps on the back of the new fbi report that came out yesterday afternoon, dow jones will open up higher. >> futures are sharply higher meaning the s&p 500 could be on track to break its first 93-d 93-day -- nine-day losing streak. voters in philadelphia might have an easier time getting to the polls tomorrow. the union representing 4700 transportation workers reached a settlement ending a nearly week-long strike. >>> a pipeline that exploded in alabama last week is back up. >>> janet reno died early this morning from complications of parkinson's disease. she served for quite a while in the bill clinton administration and she was 78 years old. >>> the futures are jumping after the fbi cleared hillary clinton after the use of a private server. james comey informed congress in a letter that the agency had not changed its conclusions, and it said it did not find evidence to support criminal charges over clinton's use in a private server.

also today, the president and ceo of the aspen institute, walter isaacson. , good to see you again this morning. >> good to be back with you. >> our top story today, one we've been following pretty much all week. that is the moment of truth that social media is going through following donald trump's presidential win one week ago. in the last 24 hours, twitter has suspended a number of accounts associated with the alt-right movement just as it announced a new effort to crack down on hate speech. and in the fight against fake news on social media, tech executives from alphabet to linkedin say mistakes were made and the valley has to do more. >> at google, we've always cared about bringing the most relevant and accurate systems to users and that's where almost all of our work goes at the end of the day. when i look at it, it's important to remember, we get billions every day. there have been a couple of instances where it's been pointed out and we clearly did not get it right, and so it's a learning moment for us, and we will definitely work to fix it. >> walter

joining us walter isaacson and doris kearns goodwin and bob woodward.d. >> doris, obviously you spent an awful lot of time and identified with the presidency of lbj. that's a great place to start when looking at how we have presidencies move from one person to another person despite the fact they may be contemptuous of each other. lbj didn't have a lot of use for richard nixon and yet -- is that an understatement? >> a clear statement. >> ike was contemptuous of jfk. couldn't believe that a kid like jfk would sit in his chair in the oval office and yet there's some magic every four years. yesterday barack obama provided that for us. >> i think all three of them did in a certain sense have a classiness and concession and looking forward and congratulations. the election it most reminds me of is 1948. think about it. truman is on that train. everybody says dewey is going to win. it's not only the next morning he holds up a sign saying dewey wins. "life" magazine had to recreate its whole issue based on dewey's cabinet. the reporters were all on the train.
