ari fleischer there. lisa page refusing to show up today. now bob goodlatte wants to know what the trump-hating fbi agent has to hide next. about people and while we make more e-commerce deliveries about people to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget... that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you here's something you should know. there's a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most don't even know it. a virus that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. the only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us, it's time to get tested. it's the only way to know for sure. for us, it's time to get tested. inthe full value oft replace your new car? you'd be better off throwing your money right into the harbor. i'm gonna regret that. with liberty mutual new car replaceme

we'll ask former white house press secretary ari fleischer what to make of all of it. plus the board of directors at cbs wrapping their meeting right now on the future of les moonves. is he going to be at the helm? what we know now. >> we'll be on the story at top of the hour. the dow falling as investors brace for busy week of corporate earnings. busy week forked fed. phil flynn with commodities out in chicago. nicole petallides as usual on the floor of the new york stock exchange. we start nicole with you. >> connell, melissa, we see dow at seg lows, tune of half a percent loss for the dow. nasdaq worst of the bunch again. i will get to the fang and tech story over all because it is a really big one. for the dow, nasdaq, s&p is to the upside. big picture earnings have been good news. we're actually seeing the growth of 23.2% year-over-year growth. that surpasses the analyst estimates but i will get right to the tech stocks. really the tech and the russell have investors concerned. we talked to dennis gartman on fox business. he talks about the fannings being defanged

here is ari fleischer, former press secretary for president george w. bush, and a fox news contributor. so is that how you too see the next supreme court justice? >> this is what, as they say created donald trump. really don't understand, actually i do understand. i think to the democrats and if you're liberal, government is so central to everything that is important in life, you must control it. and if the other party controls it, it is depravity. something so immoral you must rise up against it. if you think the private sector is the most important thing in life, you don't get bent out of joint what the government does. the democrats get bent out of joint as that tweet showed. melissa: i wonder. it sort of goes back to the thing if you light your hair on fire for every single thing goes by, when reality comes along, not that bad, god forbid something really does require you to actually light your hair on fire, you don't have any hair let to light, because you have blown it on the last one. >> the president -- that is cnn's senior legal correspondent.

let's go to former white house press secretary, ari fleischer to answer that. are they trying to delay? >> of course it's a delay tac c tactic. they want to get it beyond the election. it won't change anything. it's going to be hard to stop brett's nomination. it's a delay tactic but there's some legitimacy to it in the fact that relevant documents ought to be made public. that is an important part of the senate's process here. advice an consent. when senator schumer said they're not requesting staff secretary documents, if that is right and if that clip is all there's to it, it's a significant concession. staff secretary doesn't weigh-in on policy. he shuffles the papers around so the right papers end up on the president's desk. that's the job. so that caught my area when i heard senator shame e er -- sch say that. three democratic senators that are in an impossible squeeze. joe manchin from west virginia is one of them. if they vote against or treat brett kavanaugh wrong, it will kill them with the republicans in states that trump won. if they vote for brett

bush's secretary, ari fleischer. thanks for your patience. >> thanks, neil. >> neil: what did you make of this trade thing that does seem to be escalating and widening and the president trying to assure people and sarah sanders as well that things can be ainvestigated? >> well, the president wanted a trade war and he's getting one. that's clear. the president has a philosophy that is not keeping with mainstream economists or people that used to be in washington is the point that he espoused as a candidate. the united states is being taken advantage of and he's the only outsider that's going to do something about it. it's a huge risk. nobody is smart enough to see how it's going to turn out. donald trump may be right. maybe those nations will blink at some point. maybe they won't and prices for americans will go up. we don't know. >> one of the things we do know and you're old boss and other presidents have dealt with countries that tried to stiff us or tried to pull a fast one on us. but this is being done very publi

i am going to ask former white house press secretary ari fleischer next. republicans call it tax reform 2.0. more tax cuts around small businesses and america's middle class. new changes that could make it easier to save for retirement. can republicans get it done? former kke restaurant ceo andy puzder with his take. we have kristina partsinevelos on capitol hill. again here we are, waiting on the president, getting criticism from many different sides, both sides shall we say and more, kristine n will he try to al vanning it? >> exactly what you started with. we probably will have the president he is building a relationship and focusing on peace. i don't know if you noticed over the last little while his comments about being a peacemaker, a deal-maker who is a peacemaker. he will lewd he is trying to right wrongs of previous presidents in regard to this relationship. everyone will be watching very, have he closely not only about his comments regarding a meeting with putin but this tax reform 2.0. what we know the individual tax rate cut we saw across the b

bush, press secretary ari fleischer firing back on twitter. >> that's not all. the president also found time to mock an entire movement and the heritage of a sitting democratic senator in one sweeping sound bite. listen to him question the political correctness of the me too movement while taunting senator elizabeth warren. >> let's say i'm debating pocahontas. you know those little kits on television they sell for $2? i will take that kit, but we have to do is gently because we're in the me too generation so we have to be very gentle. and we will very gently take that kit and we will slowly toss it hoping it doesn't hit her and injure her arm. >> okay, that's not exactly what the me too generation is about -- >> it's not even close. it's apples and bananas. >> but this happened the first day working at the white house for bill shine. senator warren firing back on twitter, hey, trump while you obsess over my jeans, your administration is conducting dna tests on little kids. >>> breaking overnight a former thai navy diver working to rescue 12 boys and their socce

i looked at that job in the traditional sense like ari fleischer, dana perino. a lot of people who have had it. i have done hundreds of media hits and briefed people for years. but there was a new found intensity and scrutiny on this candidate, this president, this white house i couldn't have anticipated. howie: as you have write, the first day. the president saw the coverage of the inaugural crowd an sent you out. >> attempts to lessen the enthusiasm for the inauguration are shameful and wrong. >> the president got sworn in. he starts off with a flurry of executive orders and executive actions. i want to know show the mayor what people he's hard at work fulfilling the promises he made. and the media instead of focusing on those policies they say he falsely took out a bust of martin luther king. and how many people were standing on the mall. there was an overall frustration from the people who say really? we have an historic campaign and that's what seems to be so much of the focus of the media. howie: you scolded the press and you say i should have lowered the

we will get you caught up on what you need to know with our own bret baier, ari fleischer and more on the daily briefing. >> harris: as you heard dana talking, the president is expected to talk with reporters about his summit with russian president vladimir putin. it comes amid the pushback over his handling of that meeting. the power panel now, to revere journalists. and editor of judy miller. a pulitzer prize winning investigative reporter and author, both fox news contributor's. you are often with me at these big news points, both of you. and i appreciate your time. judy, is this bigger than the moment yesterday with all of the pushback? >> i think it could be. it depends on how republicans react now to what they heard and saw in helsinki. if they respond by doing more than just criticizing the president and appearing to kowtow to tenant, if they do more than that, if they start to act on resolutions endorsing the u.s. intelligence committee community view, then i think the president -- this could be a defining moment for president trump. it could be that he loses some of these fif

joining me now, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor ari fleischer. we've had discussions about how you put messages out. the white house, what do you think about them putting out this information? >> it's helpful to have the facts about the problem is the toughest facts and policies the president has implemented are not consistent with the president's weak rhetoric towards russia and that's the heart of the problem. facts and policies are much more complicated than the simple emotions of what did the president say, so he is getting judged on what he says which is not on par with what he's done. >> harris: do you agree with those on both sides of the political aisle that this will take a while to go away? the president has spoken, his policies are what they are and we are moving forward, russia is already talking, we know we've got to get out and get ahead of that as well. >> here is why this will linger to some degree. when the president of the united states stood side-by-side in a major news conference and doesn't challenge president putin over russ

. >> oliver, we are showing ari fleischer there. i wonder, oliver, if the people around the president here advising the president need to get out and the talking points the president's favorite tv shows and in the newspapers need to be you won fair and square. despite meddling. there was meddling. to flip it round and get him to -- around and get him to understand that. >> you have to appeal to his ego. they go on and they compliment him and try to get to the real issue. it will be interesting to see if that happens today on fox. if people go on and say, you won the election fair and square, but there is an issue of russian meddling we need to take seriously. you cannot go on foreign soil and really show weakness to vladimir putin and blame the u.s. for poor russia relations. that will play very poorly with his base. it will play poorly with democrats. that is what the president needs to address moving forward. >> it is interesting. all of the republicans we put up on the screen, most all on paper. will they run from the cameras and

bush's press secretary ari fleischer saw saying this is so uncalled for going after a 94-year-old president's promotion of volunteerism, i don't mind potus being a fighter, i do mind him being rud rude. . this does bother people. >> that's true. but i think that it is actually affecting a lot of republicans. there are some republicans i've heard from in recent days saying what is he doing? he's attacking the former president, he's doing these things with separating families, these are things that are not helpful to them going into 2018 and so he's actually doing things, even talking about the me too movement. he hasn't really talked about that at all since this movement has come up because he knows that it affects him and what he's done and his indiscretions so these are things that do affect the republican party and what they stand for and you're hearing from republicans saying none of this is helpful going into 2018 so even though this is a dog whistle, that's how some feel. >> its will be interesting to see if more say it publicly. appreciate the conversation. thank you. >>> still to come,

want to go to former bush 43 white house press secretary ari fleischer. again, ari, blue state democrats, what can i tell you, the governors, the republicans, the never-trumpers, media has a great source of people on this republican side who are as you concerned about president trump, but i don't think vast majority of republican voters are. how will that play out do you think right now in november? >> well, i think there is cause for concern for republicans for a variety of reasons. one history. first term of a president's almost always a term or time of setback for the party in power. that is historical standard. ronald reagan went through it in 1982. he lost 26 house seats. that is it not on republicanside. 2002 was bad year for republicans. races republicans should have won by double digits they barely squeaked by on several special elections to the house t gives me pause looked ahead to 2018 which is only three months away, four months away, the election. democrats have a lot of intensity. the change though since december of '17 when tax reform passe

because they were forced to, or so reasoned fleischer. juliette driscoll, for example. why did she tell police christopher talked about killing his parents? they eventually tell her, "if you don't tell us what we want to know, you're going to be arrested in this murder conspiracy." and what does she do? she tells them what they want to know. man: if you'll please have a seat over here-- keith morrison: in fact, the defense attorney got juliette to admit the state wouldn't even have had that if detectives hadn't intimidated and threatened her. they told me that if they didn't hear what they wanted to hear that they are going to arrest me instead. they threw my purse across the room. they slammed their hands on their desks. did they tell you it was going to be for first degree murder? they told me they were going to arrest me for murder. and you eventually told them what they wanted to hear? after 13 hours, yes. keith morrison: before christopher was arrested, the two planned to a wedding and honeymoon-- in samoa, of all places-- which begged the question. if he was going

this is fleischer in the '30s. >> i'm popeye the sailor man. >> walt disney was the only one who was genuinely interested in pushing the entire medium forward. >> there's a reason disney became famous. the quality of their animation was unparalleled. it was unbelievable. >> by the late 1930s, disney was now doing "snow white," these elaborate fairy tales, beautifully done, spectacular, the rest of the industry is trying to keep up with disney. but some studios looked at that and said we're going to make people laugh. >> looney tunes was all about gags making you laugh, when they showed those cartoons in movie theaters before a warner bros. movie, they would kill for an audience of adults in the theater. >> shoot it low. you keep out of this. he doesn't have to shoot you now. >> he does have to shoot me now. i demand that you shoot me now. >> the duck season, rabbit season exchange to this day, if i watch it, i laugh hysterically because you know it's coming, but watching daffy duck step into it every single time is absolutely brilliant. >> not again. >> the timing in those cartoons i

my point is that i have found the middle ground between what mike mccarty and ari fleischer put together some interesting ideas. i do not think that it has to be every day. i think that the press team needs to be available to reporters to answer questions and further information could i do not know that you have to have an on camera briefing every single day. >> dana: you and i worked together in the bush administration. you are a wonderful spokesperson. a super helpful to me as we were trying to understand and deal with trade issues. and i wonder, we just have a little bit of time left, what do you think the biggest difference was with the time that i had a spark secretary and your time? >> i think that there is an intensity now for a variety of reasons. that was not necessarily they are, and part of it is their peripheral relation of the outlets that are there, but i also think it is a polarization over the country. >> dana: i think that social media as well, in january of 2009 i did not have a twitter account. >> i want to say publicly how helpful, you, and re, and robert gibbs, it's

bush and fox news contributor ari fleischer is here, a busy man these days, great to have you in the center seat. you are outnumbered. how does it feel? >> ari: i love it, bring it on. >> harris: let's get to the news. president trump making new comments on russia, believing that he believes that russia tried to interfere in the election. watch. >> you say that you agree with u.s. intelligence that russia meddled in 2016. >> i have said that before. i have said that times before. and i would say that to that is true, yes. >> you have not condemned putin specifically, do you hold him personally responsible? >> i would, he is in charge of the country, just like i consider myself responsible for things that happen in this country. >> if you believe the agency's, is putin lying to you? >> i don't want to get into whether or not he is lying. >> harris: reporting the president trump was briefed two weeks before his inauguration with highly classified material showing putin personally order meddling. meanwhile the president says that he accepts the conclusion that russia is still trying to

joining me know ari fleischer, former press secretary at the white house and a fox contributor and ian bremmer, president of the eurasia group. great to have both of you with us tonight. ari, let me start with you. for a long time presidents have said the united states pays more than its fair share and our allies pay not enough, but nobody has been able to get them to actually fork over the money. >> i've sat in a lot of the meetings, the summit meetings between president bush and european leaders were he cajoled them in private to increase their spending and the reaction almost all the time was the same, you get this sense of gravitas, you get the sense of we very much would like to do that and then they explain why they can't, why the domestic pressures on them and the other needs to spend money are more important than reaching at 2% target, or you get some futuristic target that ten years from now they will make an increase from one quarter of one percentage in their spending on defense and i don't even follow up on that. so i'm very much a supporter of the nato alliance. it is esse

former democratic congressman dennis kucinich, and fox news contributor ari fleischer. all right, guys, i want to reference that video that we chose to software s michael mooe is calling for a million people. capital to prevent a senate vote. now they are talking about getting companies to move out of state, susan collins, lisa murkowski don't vote the way they want. the most interesting i thought was tom rogers who talked about increasing the number of justices on the court for every conservative justice who was put on. is there -- i will start with you, ari, is there any kind of precedent to assume that if there is a conservative justice who dies, , on the conservative can, or if a judge has retires, that we have to put a r quexmac >> >> there isn't. here's the beauty of our system, this is why i sleep so well at night. theal reason donald trump can pt anyone he wants on the supreme court within reason, and the senate will confirm it is because the american people electedeo donald trump and republican senator. if the american people elected a democratic president, a d
