do they make for progress on the president's agenda. jeff bush, welcome. it's easy to say things like the president has lost business or the presidency is collapsing, but my question for you is whether the country and businesses beyond manhattan, beyond the beltway, and beyond the fortune 500 see it this way. what do you think? >> i think that's great insight. certainly there have been a lot of challengeses for the president over the last several weeks. once you get outside the fortune 500 companies, there's still an appreciation for the long-term agenda of the republican party, lower taxation and regulation. that's while there's a disconnect in the interim, i think the long run businesses will still support the republican agenda. >> do you think that the president will be able to push that agenda through with republicans on the hill? >> the republicans ran on the same plat much as donald trump, lower regulation, lower taxation, and so forth. they know they'll be judged on that in the midterm elections. therefore they have to get something going or they'll have to answer to the v

sent me an article from the new york times, in florida when jeff bush was governor he had taken state prisons and transform them into faith-based institutions so the whole idea that rehabilitation will come through religion, i study religion so i was fascinated by what does this mean nationally. think about mass incarceration coming in the 80s 90s, so many people in prison, states cutting budgets, essentially warehousing hundreds of thousands, millions of people in the us, what religious and faith-based groups do is say we can take social provision, we can do the work of the state, do it for free, we are volunteers and argue that they can do it better and more effectively, a lot of faith-based groups run groups like ged, college, mental health, drug addiction, trauma counseling, violence support that the state used to do and one and in spent 36 years in angola prison in louisiana and he said to me people would say when prisoners became religious they would be very skeptical, the ultimate can't. everyone gets religion. now what has changed is politicians see this as rehabilitative them

nervous investors? back with us is jeff bush with the washington update. back.re what is your take on what happened today in so far as it might either hurt or hinder the president's agenda getting through the d.c. roadblock that has been up against. >> well, i think steve bannon's departure, like so many things in politics, there's not 100% positive or negative. the president should start hearing a more consistent position and hopefully, that will translate into a consistent policy position for the administration. on the other side of the coin though, nothing about steve bannon's departure changes donald trump's core beliefs. if you're democrat or some moderate republicans, that's what you're focused on now, is donald trump's core beliefs. now, from a market perspective, i think this is net net, more positive than negative, but not a huge issue. >> let's broaden it out and talk on.ut all of the turmoil who sa august was going to be b a quiet month. it hasn't been. but i wonder whether all of the turmoil could possibly cause the factions in the gop on capitol hill and inside the white

ultimately. >> any cost to paul ryan, john mccain, jeb bush, jeff flake, and a list of other republicans that you probably consider establishment republicans saying this was a bad idea? >> my response would be yada, yada, yada. they're against every single thing the president does that's the least bit controversial. i don't think paul ryan, john mccain, or anyone else in that crowd would have thought to pardon sheriff arpaio or anyone else for that matter who was headed for personal bankruptcy, who was being prosecuted by a very political justice department. they wouldn't have done that. because they don't have the kind of guts to do those things. they're against anything donald trump does. >> let me raise this business about this was a crusade from the obama justice department. this contempt was initiated by the judge in the case. that's who brought this case. the idea that this was some kind of vendetta from the justice department, i mean, that's just not true. >> michael? >> if you think that the judge and the judge weren't communicating, you're naive. this is a justice department tha

, michelle obama, and the bush twins. >> take it away, jeff. >> we are looking warmer as we head through the forecast. san jose 73 dropping to comfortable 60s. tracking hurricane harvey. we will tell you the path of the storm system coming up in five minutes. >> did we take a case at about $9 at a car wash? yes we did. and you will want to know why. because it will change the way you look at those codes forever and forever. saved viewers more than one million dollars. some refunds are big. others. well. aren )t. raj/2shot 9 bucks. >>> nbc bay area respond has saved millions of dollars. some are big and some are not. >> nine bucks is equally important. >> we respond to every call and every e-mail no matter amount. shelling out nine bucks and getting nothing in return. a gas station car wash. your route to the rotating bristles is a routine. you pump fuel, you pay for a code, you punch it in and you let the suds restore shine. but when david chin tried he couldn't get past the key pad. the pump printed this receipt that says it expires may 20th. when he tried to use the code may 20th. >> s

the national securities union and political director to put george w. bush. trevor, what was your reaction to jeff sessions' event on friday? >> well, i think jeff sessions press conference was incredibly disturbing on multiple levels, as you mentioned in the opening that they were going to triple the amount of leak investigations from the obama administration, the obama administration actually prosecuted more whistle blowers and leakers than all other administrations combined. so it's incredibly concerning that he's going to increase that amount. but he talked about issuing guidelines for subpoenaing journalists which is incredibly dangerous to the rights of reporters everywhere. >> tell us what that would mean? >> there are strict rules in the justice department that prevent them from issuing subpoenas to have journalists testify except in very, very rare cases and what jeff sessions is call more reporters to the sand and prosecute them if they refuse to testify. and he also talked about prosecuting journalists. >> they're just keeping the door open to the possibility. does that

and conservative o. >> what jeff flake is he voted against the george w bush perez as a whole. he viewed himself as a rue activity activities. >> i think that's a good conversation to have for republicans as well as democrats. what you are seeing in your p zinc. >> you see the state, the stats on anger against lead colleges and among those who were college educated. it is extraordinary. if anger of all of us, the media as well and trump tapped into that. >> i appreciate that jeff flakes said "lock her up." those pride at the convention by michael flynn no less, the columnist respond was a -- >> heather, i want to put up this issue of the, 50% of the students believe that, it was a startling. i thought we all agree that college is good. >> we can have a debate on open idealology from university. but, when do we go all the way there? >> you have to follow the threat of this narrative. more folks are stretrending fol why it is illegal. >> others may say it is the more you study and america's history and the world, you understand how much we fall in short. >> the fault that we want to

for george w. bush. the leaking of these transcripts, first of all, and we saw the crackdown by jeff sessions today, are they tackling the problem? >> i think they are trying to. i've been on both sides, people in the administration of talk to me, and i have been in the bush administration, where i had an obligation not to leak and not to release things. this release of the president phone records i think is getting universal condemnation because you can't have a president able to carry on a conversation if it is going to be leaked. >> sandra: do you have confidence they are going to get to the bottom of this? that someone will be held accountable? >> i think so. i don't think the wide audience gets it. again, you have a small audience that may get it and someone might share it with a friend or someone who then shares it with someone else. but i think this is one that they probably can find out. >> sandra: we are hearing a lot of anger. we had senator mike lee talking about this just yesterday saying justice needs to be brought on. watch. >> whoever leaked these needs to be found out

not. some of my jeff flake would probably vote with the president 98% of the time. mike pence voted against president george w. bush on two very cute boats. medicare part b and something else. that happened it it's okay. you don't have to go after them all the time. >> brian: with jeff flake, he is going to be on fox & friends tomorrow. i read jeff flake's book. he basically agrees on almost everything except for the border wall. he wants a see-through wall. the president also mention last night, and some places, you have to be able to see through the wall. that's showing he's giving a little bit. but something jeff flake jeff flake goes along with. one more thing, $1.6 billion going to the program is going nowhere? the senate doesn't even want to look at it because they don't want to put a lot of these republicans in the border states don't want to vote for it. obviously no democrat will. it's going to die an ugly death. imagine it if the president says yes, let me build a border wall and let the dac a kids stay. >> juan: kimberly, you have a situation where -- to my mind, you have

republican president who is not really a republican and not really a conservative. and, what jeff flake was talking about is that he voted against prescription drugs, he voted against the george w. bush proposals that busted the budget in his view. he views himself as a real conservative. he's making a distinction between conservatism and populism, and i think that's a good conversation to have for republicans as well as democrats. what you're seeing, david, in your precinct and elsewhere and certainly in west virginia which is ground zero of trump country, is, anger against elites. people feeling that they've been passed over, anger, you know, you see the state, the stats on anger against league colleges, even among those college-educated. extraordinary. so it's anger against all of us, the media, as well, and trump has just tapped into that. and i really appreciated that jeff flake said the locker up, those cries at the republican convention by michael flynn no less, the call and response was really a nayier of -- what i view as the republican party. >> she referenced a stat her

the men's room. >> he was disappearing into the bush like that simpson's people. so he also went after jeff flake. he didn't say his name. what if kelli ward ends up prime ariana grande him? do the democrats stand a chance of beating kelli ward? >> certainly republicans even say that a bloody primary would help to crack that door even further. >> sure. >> if you're a republican, though, watching what trump did last night to someone like flake, you know that he is an unreliable partner to you in the midterms and he actually kind of gave a flavor of how he might campaign in the midterms, particularly if he doesn't get legislative accomplishments. you can totally see him running against the republican party. >> yeah. eats going to go after everybody he can. the fault will not lie with him. the fault will lie with everybody else. >> well, the question is -- >> hold on. we're going to come back in a little while and continue this conversation. i enjoyed that. you told me a few things i didn't know. which is good. that makes me sound so i am modest and crazy. ignore me. still ahead, hillary

, 62. under president obama's first five months. eight. under president bush, nine. far more of that going on now. it's about time jeff sessions steps up and says we're going to stop this right now and prosecute people who perpetrate these illegal leaks. >> eric, talking about the national security leaks. >> yes. >> some other numbers. we know under the espionage acts where leaks are prosecuted, the law that dictates that. of the 13 that have been prosecuted, eight were investigated under obama. this war against leakers is not new. leaks put our national security at risk as a country and i have a problem with them. they should be prosecuted. >> bipartisan agreement on that? >> absolutely. >> an american risk. >> it's time to meet today's specialist. he's a native new yorker from the school of hard knocks. the executive producer of imus in the morning and he specializes in salsa dancing and twerking. bernard mcgerk is here. he once hosted whack pack bowling for howard stern and the former morning drive of 640 am sports and from wabc radio and specializes and anything bravo. sid is her

get out now. what is the latest, jeff? reporter: interesting to listen to you talk to neil bush, talk about this coordination going on. i'm going to answer the question. we are in a convoy of volunteers boats that is being coordinated by dea agents that got transferred over to address the flood response. they have gotten a convoy of these guys that have come from all over, alabama, all over texas, louisiana, to bring their boats, some of them bass boats, all sorts of things. that is a pontoon boat we were riding on earlier today. they have a convoy of boats going to the next location where they just gotten a mandatory evacuation order as this thing continues to unfold. i've never seen, i've been in a lot of disasters, coordination, usually government alone is doing this. part of that is driven by this is so big because the government alone and first-responders could not possibly do it alone, instead of government saying no, we can do it, listen, volunteer, we need your help and we'll help coordinate it and here we go and i have never seen anything quite like it. you can say what

republican party and president trump and president bush. marsha blackburn, senator. what did you think about the book by jeff flake? let's start there. >> jeff is a friend of mine but if we want to talk about that book we need to go back and look at what happened to cause the american people to go without -- both democrats and republicans and we have responsibility. we as members of congress, everybody should take responsibility. the american people expect a set of deliverables, they expect action. they did not see those deliverables met or the action they wanted to see so therefore they went with someone outside the box. and we have to realize our nation is well served by robust political debate, democrat and republican. and finding consensus and so our job should be to make certain that this republican president is the most successful that he can possibly be. and this republican-controlled congress delivers on the expectations of the american people. >> bill: i had a different take on his book. he was with us a couple of days ago. the headline was that he is against president trump.

the arpaio pardon. senator dean heller of nevada joined john mccain and jeff flake in disagrees with the joe arpaio pardon. >> i just don't believe anybody is above the law. i don't like it when bush did it and obama did it and i certainly don't like it now. >> the people of maricopa county, arizona, made their opinion of joe arpaio clear in last year's election. he was defeated by almost 13 points in his re-election campaign. the new sheriff who defeated joe arpaio promised to bring a new approach to law enforcement and end what he calls the costly disgraceful practice. the new sheriff of maricopa county joins us next. and we covered it, july first, twenty-fifteen. talk to farmers. we know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ you don't let anything lkeep you sidelined. come on! that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals... for the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. ensure, always be you. its witnessed 2 diy duos,s 31 crashes,: 4 food fights, and the flood of

policies. you heard from jeff flake, he represents not just himself and john mccain, he represents a significant chamber of commerce wing of the republican party, on immigration, trade and going onto the interventionist foreign policy of george w. bush which some people might disagree with as well. >> sean: how do they get away with smashing to smithereens hard drives? how did they get a away with deleting emails, how did they get away with acid wash, did you ever take a hammer to a blackberry or an iphone? how do you get away with sending the fbi devices without sim cards? why do i think i would spend eternity in jail and you have to bring me a cake with a file? >> they don't have officials that their justice department to rush to recuse themselves, everybody knows i love jeff sessions but i understand why donald trump is not happy about that. that didn't set off a chain reaction that's really ended up creating this whole special counsel nightmare for trump in the first place. republicans play the safe, gentlemanly game of politics. i keep saying this, they agree with the democrat
