FIRM FOR A MAJOR TRIAL FOR A MAJOR COMPANY THE SAME WEEK. >> JONATHAN MARTIN, NEWS JUST COMING IN. FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL ALBERTO GONZALES, THE AG TO FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, POSTED AN ENDORSEMENT IN "POLITICO" OF KAMALA HARRIS. >> YEAH. >> FEW DAYS AFTER LIZ CHENEY AND DICK CHENEY, NOT A GROUP OF LIBERAL SQUISHES HERE, COMING OUT. HE'S MAKING A -- [ LAUGHTER ] >> NEVER HEARD THAT TERM. >> MAKES A LONG AND DETAILED CRITIQUE OF DONALD TRUMP, OF HIS LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW, OF HIS AFFINITY FOR AUTHORITARIANISM, AND HE BELIEVES KAMALA HARRIS WILL UPHOLD THOSE THINGS. >> YEAH. WELL, I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BERNIE SANDERS AND DICK CHENEY RETREAT AT CAMP DAVID NEXT YEAR, WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO PLOT THE FIRST KAMALA HARRIS TERM. IT'LL BE AN INTERESTING FILM. YEAH, LOOK, I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE PEOPLE WHO COME OUT FROM THE KIND OF BUSH ORBIT. GUYS, TO ME, THE BIG QUESTION IS, THE FORMER PRESIDENT HIMSELF, GEORGE W. BUSH. HE'S THE MOST PROMINENT AMERICAN FIGURE WHO HAS NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR YET ON THE GREAT QUESTION OF OUR TIME, WHICH IS TRUMP, FOR OR AGAINST HIM. HE'S TRYING TO PULL OPTION C. FRANKLY, THERE'S JUST NOT AN OPTION C. IT'S HARD TO SUSTAIN THAT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO TRY HERE FOR ONE MORE TERM. BUT IF YOU'RE GEORGE W. BUSH AND YOU SEE DONALD TRUMP STAND UP ON STAGE AND YOU SAY, THERE'S SOMETHING NEW CALLED MIGRANT CRIME. GEORGE W. BUSH RAN A CAMPAIGN FAMOUSLY, AS JOE KNOWS, WHERE HE SAID, FAMILY VALUES DO NOT STOP AT THE RIO GRANDE. HE WAS TRYING TO REORIENT HIS PARTY AROUND A DIFFERENT APPROACH WHEN IT CAME TO MIGRATION AND, FRANKLY, THE HISPANIC COMMUNITY. FOR GEORGE W. BUSH TO, I THINK, SEE WHAT DONALD TRUMP IS DOING, WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY MAKE HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ABOUT DEMAGOGUING IMMIGRANTS, AND STAY SILENT, I THINK HAS TO BE DIFFICULT. I KNOW WHY HE WANTS TO STAY OUT OF IT, BUT I THINK IT'S GOT TO BE TOUGH FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT, GIVEN WHERE HIS HEART IS ON THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES, TO STAY OUT OF THIS GAME. BECAUSE, AGAIN, THAT IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THE CAMPAIGN. HAITIANS ARE EATING DOGS IN AN AMERICAN CITY. ALL THE CRIME IS BEING CAUSED BY MIGRANTS. NEVERMIND THE FACTS. THAT'S THE CENTERPIECE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN AND THE GOP CAMPAIGN THIS FALL, IS BASHING IMMIGRANTS. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT WHAT THOSE FOLKS SIGNED UP FOR IN AUSTIN, AND I THINK IT'S GOT TO BE HARD TO WATCH IT NOW. >> GEORGE W. BUSH SAID HE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE A PUBLIC ENDORSEMENT OF A CANDIDATE IN THIS RACE. ONE EXCERPT IN THIS PIECE FROM FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL GONZALES, HE WRITES, "THERE IS LITTLE EVIDENCE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS THE INTEGRITY AND CHARACTER TO RESPONSIBLY WIELD THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE LAW. AND NO AMOUNT OF RATIONALIZATION TO SUPPORT TRUMP BECAUSE OF HIS POLICIES CAN OVERCOME DISQUALIFICATION BASED ON THE LACK OF INTEGRITY FOR THIS MAN." THAT'S THE FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR GEORGE W. BUSH. >> BUSH OBVIOUSLY VILIFIED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE LEFT AS BEING, YOU KNOW, SHREDDING THE CONSTITUTION. I ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT MY WALKS UP AND DOWN THE UPPER WEST SIDE, ALL THE HITLER MUSTACHES ON BUSH HERE, BUSH THERE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN SUCH A DRAMATIC ASSESSMENT OF GEORGE W. BUSH, AND THAT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR A PROGRAM THAT SAVES OVER 20 MILLION LIVES IN AFRICA. THAT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE LOOK BACK AT WHAT DONALD TRUMP HAS DONE AND, AS J-MART SAID, REMEMBER THE MAN SAYING THAT FAMILY VALUES DON'T END AT THE RIO GRANDE RIVER. WHEN YOU HAVE A MAN, AFTER 9/11, AFTER 9/11, GOING TO A MOSQUE AND EMBRACING ARAB-AMERICANS, SAYING THEY ARE EVERY BIT AS MUCH OF AMERICAN AS AM I. THAT IS SOMEBODY WITH AN EYE TOWARD HIS LEGACY THAT, YOU KNOW, I WOULD HOPE -- AND I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD HOPE -- WOULD RECONSIDER STANDING ON THE SIDELINES, JUST FOR LEGACY SAKE. DICK CHENEY IS NOT STANDING ON THE SIDELINSIDELINES. TRUMP'S OWN GENERALS AREN'T STANDING ON THE SIDELINES. CONSERVATIVES OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS, CONSERVATIVE LEADERS OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS ARE NOT STANDING ON THE SIDELINES. IT'D BE SIGNIFICANT AND, WELL, THE RIGHT THING TO DO, I THINK, IF HE DID GET OFF THE SIDELINES AND ACTUALLY TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT DONALD TRUMP. >> YEAH. I THINK IT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANT. A LOT OF THESE ENDORSEMENTS DON'T MOVE THE NEEDLE THAT MUCH, WHEN A REPUBLICAN OR FORMER REPUBLICAN COMES OUT FOR KAMALA HARRIS. SAYS, NO, I CAN'T STAND FOR DONALD TRUMP. I THINK THE FORMER PRESIDENT, A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, I THINK THAT WOULD MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. I THINK IT ALSO WOULD SEND DONALD TRUMP INTO SPASMS OF RAGE AND WHO KNOWS HOW HE WOULD RESPOND. BUT AS WILLIE NOTED, THE FORMER PRESIDENT'S TEAM HAS CONSISTENTLY SAID HE'S NOT GOING TO DO THAT. HE IS NOT INVOLVED IN
