good morning, everyone. it is tuesday, july 28 6:00 in the east. chris is on assignment john berman joins us. the search continues for two florida teenagers lost at sea. the two 14-year-old missing since friday afternoon when they set out on a routine fishing trip. their vote found capsized with a single life jacket found on board. is u.s. navy and other agencies joining the coast guard. they are searching an area the size of indiana in hopes they find the two young boys alive. we are live in jupiter florida with the latest on the efforts this morning. >> reporter: good morning, michaela. the search for the missing boys is anything but easy. they are vowing to continue to search for them. the families are hopeful and praying for a miracle.

this morning, rescue teams are beginning day five for austin stephanos and perry cohen. crews located the boat off the coast of florida. austin and perry, nowhere in sight. only a single life vest floating alongside the vessel. >> nobody is on board. trying to find other gear. >> it is positive news and helped validate we were looking in the right area. >> reporter: now, with the gulf stream in mind they are searching north of where the boat was located, 77 miles off the coast of st. augustine. >> it's all hands on deck effort. >> reporter: the u.s. coast guard executing at least 36 different searches with the help from the navy. crews scoured 37,000 square miles, that's more than the size of indiana.

>> these boys have been out there doing this forever. it's not new to them. they -- they prepare for these situations. >> reporter: the boys' moms say their sons are licensed and experienced boaters. >> i think a lot of people think about that the boys are only 14 years old, what were they doing on a boat? we live in a boating community thrks is the lifestyle here. >> reporter: the conditions could work in their favor saying a person could survive in these warm waters four to five days. >> the boys are raised on the water, raised on boats. it is second nature to them. they are going to be okay. >> reporter: the families of the teens have set up the perry and austin rescue fund to pay for private searches. so far, they have raised $44,000. alisyn. >> thanks so much for that background. we are joined by captain mark

the chief of response for the u.s. coast guard in south florida. thanks so much for being on "new day." can you give us the latest on your search efforts? how big an area have you searched and what have you found? >> yes, good morning. we have executed 36 search and rescue patterns covering 28,000 square miles. equivalent to indiana, as you referenced there. we covered a vast area. we are looking for a very small search object. when people are floating in the water, all you see is their upper torso and their head. we are searching over hundreds and thousands of square miles in the ocean. while conditions are good it's a challenging environment we are working in. >> what is the latest thinking on why the ship the boat capsized?

>> it's hard to say right now. we know they left on friday after they purchased gas. we found out about it friday evening, about 5:00. we started our intense search efforts then and saturated the area. it's hard to know exactly what happened to them during the voyage. they could have become disabled. there were squalls in the area severe weather. it's typical of south florida this time of year which they may have gotten caught in. a key thing to know, even for experienced mariners it's dangerous to go to sea. that's why we encourage boaters, when you go to sea, make sure you have the proper life saving equipment, personal flotation devices. tell somebody where you are going and when you are going to be back. we also encourage you to let folks know when you are going to be back so if you are missing, they can call the coast guard. >> we've heard from the boys

moms these were experienced fishermen. do you know how many life jackets were on board? >> we don't know how many life jackets were on board. we know one was recovered from the capsized vessel. so that's really all we know. we are hopeful they both have one because that would certainly increase their chances for survival if they had some sort of flotation device. >> we are looking at video of when you found it. is it customary for boaters to climb on top of the boat and stay with the ship? >> that would be optimal. if you capsize, it is easy to get separated from your boat. it sounds easy boat flips over swim to it. if it flips, it's difficult to

swim through it. your hagt of eye is low. that boat could be 15-20 feet away from you and you could have a hard time seeing it if you are floating in the water. it's easy to get separated. >> thank you. that explains why they are not waiting. i want to show the viewers where you have searched. they took off from jupiter, the marina sign. there's some early indication they may have been heading to the bahamas, relatively close to jupiter. the family refuted that. where the boat was found was so far north. what is the latest theory on where they were going? >> right. they left jupiter at 1:30 in the afternoon. there were ipd indications they were going to the bahamas. we searched in that area. we focused more of our efforts in the middle of the gulf stream where we thought they

went fishing. it's a strong current that runs south and north at 3.5 knots of current. that's very strong. what we think, if they became disabled, the gulf stream pushed them north from jupiter to where the boat was capsized. when we found the boat we were able to recalculate the search efforts based on the data. now, we are looking to the north of that. >> everyone who is searching says they are remaining optimistic even though it has been more than four days now. i know for you, this is personal. can you tell us about what you are experiencing and why? >> the coast guard dedicates our best efforts in every search and rescue case. we have garnered a lot of resources. we have five coast guard cutters. we have aircraft from three

stations. there's a navy ship that is involved. customs and border protection. we have dedicated a lot of effort. we have the assets. personally, this hits home because i have a 14-year-old and 13-year-old son at home. i can empathize with the family and why they remain hopeful. we want to be aggressive and continue searching. this is a challenging and dangerous situation with every day we go through this search effort. >> we are praying for these boys and the searchers and praying for a good outcome. thank you for joining us on "new day." >> thank you. president obama's approval ratings holding in positive territory for the second month in a row. according to the latest cnn poll a number of americans are not happy with the economy nor the nuclear deal with iran. cnns white house correspondent michelle kaczynski is in

ethiopia traveling with the president. >> reporter: the good news is his approval rating is just tipped in his favor, 49% to 47. it's been growing over time. steady the last few months. it's better than george w. bush was doing at this time in his presidency worse than clinton and the same as reagan. where things turn weird is on the economy. 41% say it's doing good. 59 say it's in a poor state. that's a big drop from april when 52% of people said that it was good. the biggest drop we have seen is among democrats, down 18 points since april. that was only three months ago. 18 points. still, more people say they are doing better than they were three years ago than say they are doing worse. also on the iran deal when asked should congress approve it 44% said yes. 52 said no. that's interesting. that's almost a complete

reversal from april. that was before there was a deal. people were asked, should the u.s. make a deal with iran. back then 53% said yes, 43% said no. now that there is a deal and it's out there, about as many people as said yes before now say no no no. john? >> all right, michelle kaczynski for us. thank you. the frantic 911 calls from the louisiana movie theater shooting could be released today as they discover more details about the shooter and hundreds say farewell to the two victims killed. we are live in lafayette, louisiana. good morning, ryan. >> reporter: john good morning to you. it's been five days since two people were killed and nine others were wounded in a shooting here in lafayette. the community is slowly starting to improve. thursday they will hold a community wide healing event. yesterday, the funerals for

mayci breaux and jillian johnson were held. hundreds came out to pay their respects respects. of the nine wounded, seven left the hospital. the two being treated are improving. they are in the process of analyzing hundreds of pieces of evidence from the theater here behind me and at a local motel where he was staying. inside his motel room they found a journal. in it, he made note of the 7:15 showing of "trainwreck." this theater is no longer an active crime scene. the owners have taken back control and are in the process of a massive clean up. police tell us they vow to reopen. michaela? >> a first responder is going to join us later. we'll get her count of arriving on scene that fateful day. breaking overnight, a teenager is in police custody linked in the death of

8-year-old madison. police say a body was found monday inside the dumpster at the complex and they believe it to be madison's. the 15-year-old suspect, who also lives in that complex is now being questioned by police. >> the boy scouts of america ending its ban on openly gay leaders. they are threatening to pull church affiliation with the organization. boy scout units choose leader who is share their beliefs, even if that means disputing gays. they are considering separating from the scouts. a boston area detective with more than 30 years experience now placed on eve for threatening to shoot a wrong-way driver in the head. that driver identified as michael happened to have a camera mounted. in the video, you can hear him react when he realizes the officer is an off-duty law

enforcement officer. michael admits he drove the wrong way, but says he did not see a sign. >> i didn't know [ bleep ] -- i didn't know you were caught. okay okay okay. >> you are lucky i'm a cop. >> geez. >> give me your license. give me your license! >> okay. i want you to know i have a dashcam ra. >> medford's police chief says he would like to see what happened before the stop. he calls the officers actions troubling. a rare emergency meeting on turkey's two-prong defensive against isis and kurdish militants militants. they are behind isis targeted air strikes in syria. it's the first time it's happened. nic robertson is live with more. good morning, nic. >> good morning, john. this emergency meeting called by

turkey under article 4. it's the fifth time ever nato has been called together under article 4. it means turkey has territorial integrity. what the nato ambassadors are expecting to hear is for it to outline what its concerns are and how it is tackling those concerns as we have seen increasing strikes against isis targets inside syria, first time ever and also turning back to its old enemy, the pkk, the kurdish terrorist organization that it believes is the main threat to stability inside turkey. what we have heard from the prime minister of turkey in the past 24 hours is saying this is a synchronized effort by turkey to target its threats at the moment. normally the pkk is the most

dominant threat. isis until recently has been third in the list of what the nato ambassadors are going to listen for is is this a change by turkey or doing it for domestic politics that might reverse the position i.e. stop targeting isis in syria in the future. that is what they are listening for. of course the nato ambassadors inside this important meeting have been long calling for turkey to take its position last year at a nato summit here in britain. the idea and the agreement was, amongst all 28 nato members, they would surround isis and cut off the supply lines. turkey has not done that until now, now is beginning to do that. that is very very important. michaela? >> we will watch to see what comes out of the meetings. thanks so much nic. millions are about to bake under

a heat wave. let's get to meteorologist chad myers. because of january, february march in new york city we are not able to complain about the heat? >> you have to average it out. when it's hot and cold average it and you have perfect weather. it will feel like 100 in parts of new york city when it's over. the hot weather is moving to the east. the problem is, it's going to stay with us for days. above 90 for days and days here across the northeast. now, it's going to be hot across the south and the southeast very muggy as well. temperatures in the east all the way up and down the east coast. i don't see a city unless you are in the mountains, that is going to be below 90 for the next couple days or the next week or so. get back out to the west. 90s. really just get us below 100 one day and we'll be happy. the heat is on. i know it's summer but it is hot. >> chad aren't you burning your feet?

>> chad myers tapping his way into your home. that new cnn/orc poll is a mixed bag for president obama. americans like him okay but the economy and the iran nuclear deal has people concerned. our panel weighs in, next.

brand spanking new poll numbers, you are the very first to learn in the latest cnn/orc poll president obama's approval rating is in positive territory for the second month in a row. itis not all good news. the economy is on the decline and there is not strong report for the iran nuclear deal. on the contrary in fact. joining us lynn sweet and jeff. lynn let me start with you. you know for much of his presidency especially the second term the president has been under water in terms of popularity. for the second month in a row, a positive approval rating. >> i think he's enjoying the bounce he got in may dealing

with the supreme court ruling on the health care act, obamacare, the gay marriage the speech on race relations following the massacre. i think he's still enjoying some of that bounce john and, i think it's too early for the iran deal plus or minus to actually soak in to truly be reflected in these new poll results. >> before we get to the iran deal let's look at what voters say is the top issue, that's the economy. here are the latest numbers. they are interesting. only 41% of the respondents say they believe the economy is good. that rivals 52% a few months ago. why the downturn jeff? >> alisyn it's interesting. one big reason is you hear so many presidential candidates who are talking down the economy. they are saying the economy is

not good under this president. they are saying things need to be turned around. this is not just republicans, of course all 16 republican candidates are saying that but even democratic presidential candidates are saying that. things need to get better and improve. all this discussion about how things need to be turned around potentially, has filtered into this. it also had not trickled into people's direct lives. everyone knows someone who is out of a job or working part time jobs. it is still a situation that the economy is not as good as people want it to be. the context here is important. it is better than it was three years ago. for hillary clinton, who is running for president, i'm in new hampshire and she'll be here later on that is key. stronger economic numbers for the president is key for hillary clinton. >> good point. may not be good for the president. lynn let's talk about the iran numbers. this could have a big effect on

what happens in washington. we asked people in the country what they think of the deal should congress approve the agreement. 44% yes, 52% no. you know when we asked them before the deal was met, they was reversed. the majority thought a deal should be made. now that they see it americans don't like it. >> the voice is against it for now, for this week are louder than the people speaking out for it. you know today there's a hearing on capitol hill. secretary kerry is going to be testifying. it's a big, complicated issue. i think the first impression that people have might not have held when they hear more details. certainly, the comments of mike huckabee which you have been talking about on cnn, his holocaust remarks, it helps give the perception there's a problem here. i think it's a big job the

administration is facing. jeff knows this and you know this to try to sell the deal and explain something so technical and so complex in a simple enough way that people can have a reflection on what this really means outside of just some of the insin dare rhetoric. >> remind people what governor huckabee said about that. he said the iran deal marches israelis into the oven. he invoked the most graphic holocaust imagery you can imagine. he was asked last night or yesterday if he wanted to walk those statements back and reconsider. he says no he doesn't. listen to this. >> i will not apologize and i will not recant. the word holocaust was invoked by the iranian government. >> there you go. jeff what's been the reaction to his comments? >> well the reaction of course from democrats, from the president, he denounced these remarks while he's traveling in

africa. republicans have been certainly not associated themselves with these remarks. several presidential candidates said look i would have said things a different way. across the board, mike huckabee is reflecting this sentiment of his deep skepticism and deep concern about this iran deal. he's trying to get attention here. every republican presidential candidate is grappling for anything they can do to get into the news. donald trump has taken away from all of them. that is behind what governor huckabee has been saying. eight years ago, he said the u.s. should negotiate with some in the region with this dangerous regime of iran. he's not been quite consistent on this. his remarks, i think, are designed to feed into the base here but it's one of the reasons the iran deal there is skepticism for it. lynn said it's easier to be

against something than for something. that's what's going on here. >> until this moment it was a trump free segment. on hannity, he talked about running as a third party candidate. listen to what he said. >> so many people want me to run as an independent. i don't want to do that. why would i do that? i'm leading with all the republicans, i'm leading. in some cases, you stated by a big margin. no my preference and what i want to do is run as a republican and win. >> do you think he needs it? >> i think he's situational. talk about ross perot and ralph nader. they had a platform until the end. they were spoilers for the candidates who they were closely aligned with the republicans and democratic side. if we were to parse what donald trump just said there's plenty of wiggle room in that for him

to run as a third party candidate. in fact that's what my take away from what he's saying more than anything. see, you can't live by the polls and be a long term long running candidate. you know it's great to say i'm on top today, therefore i'm going to run as a republican. he knows or should know he's having a good week. it may not last. what does he say when he's in third or fourth next week? he's bolting? this is a long game not a short game. that's what we should be watching for. >> we will be. lynn jeff thank you for helping us understand it all whachlt is your take? tweet us #newdaycnn or facebook.com/newday. it is called one of the worst cases of fraud ever in a federal agency. severely disabled americans. the details uncovered in a cnn investigation, next. c. but your stellar notebook gives you

meatloaf's classic "by the dash board light." you go all the way, right? >> sure. >> i hear people talking about it. word is on the street. i hear it's interesting. >> we love lip syncing. let us know what we should do. >> helping severely disabled americans get jobs is being investigated by the department of justice. insiders telling cnn billions of dollars designated for the disabled is being funneled elsewhere. drew griffin has the disturbing details. >> the majority of the individuals being hired were not severely disabled. >> reporter: this manager wants to remain anonymous says instead of hiring disabled the federal contractor making tens of millions of dollars would hire just about anyone who walked through the door and no one bothered to check.

>> you could say 100% of my employees are severely disabled and none of them are and you would have this contract? >> right, nobody is checking. >> reporter: according to the statement, source america staff does not determine compliance. only the u.s. military one commission is authorized to do that. it's made up of presidential employees but outsourced to source america. they recommend and according to our sources decides who gets it contract. worth $2.3 billion every year. former congressional investigator rich butel says it's a recipe for corruption. >> the contracts are funneled to a small group of ten large companies getting way more than their fair share. >> reporter: no one from source america would go on camera.

in a statement they deny the allegations. no one involved in making reck recommendations is employed. butel and other sources are telling the staffers who are handing out federal contracts at source america are heavily influenced by top officials at the very same agency. those officials are often connected to the businesses that get the contracts. >> you have actual advisers and board members in these private organizations who are, themselves business owners. they can award themselves potentially, contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars. a perfect set up for waste and abuse. >> that was drew griffin reporting. coming up can't they all just get along? guys like donald trump, are they doing well in the polls despite their rhetoric or because of it?

i think our candidates have a right to contrast the policies and their experience but the name calling from all sides really needs to stop. >> that was republican national committee communication director sean spicer asking candidates to tone down the rhetoric. the request follows remarks from trump and huckabee. president obama would march the israelis to the door of the oven. let's talk about this with cnn senior political analyst and bill carter, a contributor at "the new york times." so great to have you here. ron, don't we say this every single election cycle? this is the ugliest. this is the worst we have ever heard. is this year? >> you know those of us that have been doing this for awhile have to see the past with rose colored glasses. you don't have to go further

than the musical "hamilton," to know politics is tough. yes, this is worse. i have been covering presidential campaigns since 1984. the general trend line in american politics is extreme rhetoric. it's not confined to the presidential race. look at what happened ton the senate floor with cruz and mcconnell. there's a tendency to get notice with the most extreme rhetoric. there's a portion of each party, now in the republican party that responds to that. there is that magnetic pull on candidates. the problem is even though this animates a slice of the party, it also alienates a broader range of the party to put a limit on the support to get a sugar rush of intensity. >> do you agree this is the worst we have ever seen? >> sounds like it is. this is an incredibly crowded field, the republicans. that makes more demands stand out. they are forcing the issue like this. >> what you are saying is it

the donald trump factor that he keeps ratcheting up the rhetoric his own rhetoric and they try to outdo him? >> he is the int gator. he's shown it works. itis been working for him. everybody else is in the crowded field. huckabee is not making much noise. now he's made a lot. people are talking about him. people might think that's not great. he thinks it's great. he forced that he said look at me, i'm not apologizeing. >> in terms of it working, here is the latest evidence. this is a poll that was just released moments ago. i don't know if we have it but i can read it to you. this is in new hampshire, all the gop nominees trump is getting 24%. his closest rival is jep bush at 12%. he is getting twice what his closest rival is and everybody else is in the single digits. ron, how can you argue, i know you are not arguing, that it

doesn't work? in other words, he's going to do more of the same. it's working. >> i can argue it doesn't work and i will. the question is there's no doubt that donald trump touched a nerve. if you look inside the poll similar to the nbc poll almost the exact result. strong tea party voters. the challenge for donald trump is whether this presentation and rhetoric also puts a ceiling on your support as it builds a floor. as the field narrows, can you expand? the unfavorable ratings among republicans is higher than other candidates. the risk for trump is all the things you are doing is excite this very alienated portion of the party makes you more unacceptable to the broader range of mainstream republicans. you can deepen and narrow your support with this approach. as the field narrows, i think this kind of presentation

ultimately narrows your support as well. >> that's interesting. it works in the early stage, not the later game. >> that's been the tradition. i don't know that we can automatically assume that is going to be the case. >> there's a lot of conventional thinking here. trump is saying i'm against convention. he's throwing that out. it's working for him. we don't know whether that will continue or not. i think it's an interesting question. you can see the other republicans looking at it saying it seems to be working. we have to get in on this. i think it sets jeb bush apart. he's saying tamp it down. tamp it down. he looks like the daddy in an unruly family. >> it's good for him. >> good to stand out in that way in the sense that he can survive. he may lose early primaries based on that. >> never a dull moment. bill ron, thanks for helping us understand the context of this. over to michaela.

accused of selling tissue. on the other hand there are costs associated. >> exactly. right. way higher than that? >> mmhmm. >> i would like to start at around 100. >> okay. >> that's an excerpt from the sting videos claiming planned parenthood sells fetal tissue for profit. joining us is dawn the executive vice president of planned parenthood federation of america. thank you for being on "new day." >> good morning. >> these videos that have been released i know you dispute the premise that planned parenthood is selling for a profit fetal

tissue. it sounds like they are negotiating. why are the representatives negotiating? >> alisyn i think context setting is important to start here at 7:00 a.m. planned parenthood for 99 years has been the nation's leading reproductive health care organization. we provide care birth control, std testing, cancer screenings abortion to 2.5 million men and women a year in this country. a million young people get sex education from us. people know us well and know that in fact -- >> it's not those services it's this service where there is an exchange of fetal tissue which, by the way, does a lot of good. there's a lot of research cures for diseases that come from it. it does sound as though there's a price negotiation happening with that. >> an anti-abortion extremist group has, for three years

misrepresented who they are and stalked our doctors and clinics. if you listen to the longer tape, not the short, edited shock value they have historically put out and have put out in this case what they do is they haggle. this is a doctor who, one, doesn't do this work at a place in our organization that doesn't have this program and they are saying to her, no that's not enough. let us pay you more. she's clearly saying i'm not sure where the reimbursement costs would be for doing this fetal tissue donation. they are trying to encourage her to start a program. the idea that she's haggling is completely off base. >> why not set a set price? wouldn't that solve a problem? in this video they say it's between $30 to $100 depending on

storage and handling. it makes it seem as though there's room for haggling or negotiation. why not say it's $100 across the board and there's no ifs, ands or buts. >> this program takes place in three states in the country. depending on who the research partner is there are shipping costs, handling costs, talking different kinds of research. so the costs can, in fact vary. that wouldn't be something that a doctor would be the person to decide that would be somebody in accounting or someone who is in management. these were not the people who would even know these things. >> you say, unequivocally, planned parenthood does not make a profit on fetal tissue? >> i say that unequivocally. we do not make a profit on fetal tissue. >> some in congress are trying to defund planned parenthood. they say, yes, you provide all the other services you outlined

but the money goes into one pot. they don't believe there's a line between funding for abortion mammograms and birth control. what is the answer? >> there are very strict rule that is govern abortion providers including the very unfair amendment that prohibits federal funding for going to abortions. >> why is that unfair? >> because poor women are denied abortion care in this country as a result of the high demand. that is the law of the land and we follow the law of the land at planned parenthood in every way? this is absolutely -- when they talk about defunding, americans need to know what we are talking about is cutting women off of cancer screenings breast exams, birth control, all std testing and treatment. abortion doesn't come into play at all with federal funding. >> how do you make sure no federal funds ever go towards

abortion? what is the process. >> there are strict accounting rules in the process as all health care providers would follow that rule, not just planned parenthood. >> one of the thing that is has come out, the critics of planned parenthood during all of this they say despite, put aside the video. it's time to take a second look at planned parenthood and reconsider it. they believe planned parenthood doesn't actually offer woman who go in and say they have an unwanted pregnancy options, they push women towards abortion and they don't present literature and answers on adoption. is it time to provide more adoption options? >> what i would say is the people who are making those charges have never been to planned parenthood. planned parenthood providers and their guidelines to absolutely offer each and every woman who comes to planned parenthood the full range of options.

we are pro-choice. we are for women deciding what's best for them. we trust women. unlike the people who stand outside of our clinics and shame and harass doctors and women and unlike the people who spend three years stalking doctors, trying to create problems where there aren't any, we are proud of what we do. we are on the side of women. if you ever come to a planned parenthood which i invite you to do we would show you how that happens. >> are you comfortable steering more women towards adoption? >> we don't steer women that's the key thing. we trust women to make decisions. we want them to have all the information. i personally know women who have gone to planned parenthood. after talking to council or a doctor or a staff member made a different decision or stepped away and said i need more time to think about this. that's what planned parenthood is. we are going to release a poll later this morning at 11:30.

it's going to show the american people trust planned parenthood 2-1 over these video fraudsteres who have been attacking our services and safe legal, abortion in this country, which is their goal. >> thanks so much for coming on "new day" and explaining all of that. >> absolutely. thank you, alisyn. >> thank you. "new day" invited david, the person who shot those controversial sting videos to join us several times, but he had not responded to our requests. what is your take on this story? we would like to read your tweets. #newdaycnn or facebook.com/newday. we are following a lot of news this morning, let's get to it. the search continues for two florida teenagers lost at sea. >> it's hard to know what happened to them. this is a challenging and dangerous situation. >> there is such strong belief they will be rescued and found.

>> president obama's approval ratings holding in positive territory. >> not all good news. >> the economy is not as good as people want it to be. >> tragedy struck the family of whitney houston. >> this family has been clear from the beginning they suspect suspected foul play. expect for there to be a lot of movement on the nick gordon front. >> who is to blame? all eyes are on nick gordon. announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo, alisyn camerota and michaela pereira. >> good morning to you. welcome back to your "new day." as you can tell, chris is on assignment and john berman joins us. the desperate ocean search for two missing teenagers expanding and intensifying off the florida coast. perry cohen and austin stephanos went missing on friday. >> their 19-foot fishing boat found cam sized over the

weekend. the coast guard expanding their search to an area the size of indiana. we are live in jupiter, florida with the latest developments. what is happening? >> reporter: alisyn the families are living nightmare. they remain hopeful the missing teens will be found. meanwhile, the coast guard sighs this search is challenging, but they are vowing to continue. this morning rescue teams are beginning day five of their search for missing teenage boaters austin stephanos and perry cohen. sunday they located their capsized boat off the coast of florida. perry and austin nowhere in sight, a single life vest floating alongside the vessel. >> we confirmed nobody is on board. trying to find any other gear. >> it is positive news and helped valueidate the search efforts. the boys were not clinging to

the boat. >> reporter: with the gulf stream in mind they are searching north of where the boat was located. >> it's been all hands on deck type effort. >> reporter: the operation, aggressive. the u.s. coast guard executing at least 36 different searches with the help from the navy. crews scoured more than 37,000 square miles, that's more than the size of indiana. >> these boys have been out there doing this forever. it's not new to them. they prepare for these situations. >> reporter: the boys moms say their sons are both licensed and experienced boaters. >> i think a lot of people think about the boys are only 14 years old, what were they doing on a boat? we live in a boating community. this is part of the lifestyle here. >> reporter: the coast guard says the good conditions could work in austin and perry's favor, saying a person could survive in the warm waters for four to five days. >> the boys are raised on the

water, they are raised on boats. it is second nature to them. they are going to be okay. >> reporter: the families established the perry and austin rescue fund to help pay for private searches. so far, they have raised $44,000. alisyn? >> thanks so much. we will have much more on the search for the boys later in the program and be joined by a coast guard guest. moving to politics a cnn/orc poll reveals things americans don't like. let's get the latest from cnn's athena jones, live from the white house. tell us what's going on there, athena. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. the president's job approval rating 49%. it's about where it was a month ago. itis not all good news. look at the economy. when it comes to the economy, 41% say economic conditions in this country are good.

nearly 6 in 10 say they are poor. that is a big change from april. back in april, 52% said they felt economic conditions in this country are good. we know from the polling, that economy is the top issue on voters minds. the bad numbers may not bode well for folks running for white house in 2016. it could provide an opening for republicans to argue, why send another democrat to the white house. more bad news also when it comes to views of the president, the deal struck with iran. the nuclear deal reached with iran. 52% say congress should reject that deal. the president has been trying to sell the deal from press conferences to the daily show. the sales pitch is falling short. opinions about the deal breakdown along party lines with republicans more likely to oppose the deal. congress is in the middle of their 60-day review period which they will vote to approve or disapprove of the deal.

critics may take heart in the poll numbers. john? >> let's dig deeper into the poll and a new poll just out from the key battleground state of new hampshire. joining us live from the white house political director for ronald reagan and editor to american speck tor thai and former senior adviser to bill clinton and writer for new yorker.com. we have a new poll from monmouth university from the state of new hampshire showing donald trump at 24%. in second place, jeb bush is at 12%. so i'm not great at moth but he is doing twice as well as any other republican candidate, donald trump is. you wrote flatteringly of donald trump here. why? why is this happening? why does this continue to happen? this is no longer a fluke. this is across the board in national polls and key state polls. >> john you are absolutely right.

one of the things that donald trump has in common with reagan is he is con sis at that particular timely underestimated. people didn't think he would get into the race people wouldn't take him seriously. time after time after time we are seeing the polls that says he resinates with folks. there is something going on. a lot of which is tied to your poll right there. that 59% of the folks who think is economy is in bad shape. as i remember the clinton/bush campaign in 1992 the line from the clinton folks was, it's the economy, stupid. they were right. you are always right about that in american politics unless there's a trauma. i'm not at all surprised that a guy who talks about jobs and has a solid record of creating jobs themselves for thousands and thousands of people is ahead. >> let's look at that poll richard. 59% believe the economy is poor.

there's another cnn poll out this morning about the economy. it says 41%, as you see here think it's good. that compares with back in april, 52% thought it was good. it's on the decline. what jeffrey is saying that's good for trump and bad for hillary clinton. >> well let me say that i think the numbers, overall, in this poll are very good for president obama. i think the white house is going to be pleased. his approval rating is -- >> let me say, 49% approval rating disapprove 47%, which is almost a wash. >> well his approval rating is net positive. that's what you look for in this day and age. we are a very divided country. his approval rating is net positive. overall, people think their own personal economic situation is improving. >> it doesn't seem like it. >> those numbers are very good. when voters are asked about

their own situation, they feel more positive than before. >> why is the number about the economy slipping? >> i think you saw a big swing from last month on that. part of that reflects people's i.r.a.s. the stock market was way down. i think the numbers, overall, are good for president obama and democrats generally. i think the trump phenomenon is really you know really going to -- probably really upsetting republicans. donald trump is really on the margins of the political discourse. >> before you pile on donald trump, talk about the poll. is it good on the iran deal the majority of americans say congress should not approve the iran nuclear deal? the president needs to get it through. more than 50% want congress to vote against it. >> well i say there's only a four-point swing on the iran question. i think that question reflects the fact that the president and the white house have more you know talking to do.

they have more explaining to do. i think that, you know there's been a lot of heat around the iran deal from the republicans running in the republican presidential primary. so, i think that number while we would like it to be better is not too bad. i think they have some educating to do some explaining to do. but, a four-point swing is not intuitive to make a deal with iran. >> jeffrey, what do you think about the numbers, the iran deal and most americans don't support it. in that way, do you think mike huckabee's comments about the graphic holocaust terminology about what it does to the israelis might not be as rejected as some people think they should be? >> yeah. i don't think they are rejected. a lot of people are concerned about this. i will say, i think it's the economy, with foreign policy coming up as it does. remember back in 1980 when reagan was running against carter t lethal cocktail was the

bad economy and in that case hostages. if this deal with iran is shown to be bad or let's say the perception of it by the american people that only increases because the iranians themselves increased that i think it's a big problem for hillary clinton as we go down the road and certainly, it's a problem for the deal itself. >> can i just say about those governor huckabee remarks, i think that those remarks were pa thetic and shameful. i think what we are seeing now is an attempt by certain republicans to you know give a jump start to their poll numbers in advance of the debates. these guys i mean i think they are ratcheting up. donald trump and mike huckabee neither one of these people are going to be president of the united states. what they are trying to do is improve their profile to improve their television ratings after

the fact after the election is over. >> i don't think so. >> go ahead, jeffrey. go ahead. >> there's easier ways to do it than that. huckabee had a good show. i'm not that big of a huckabee fan, but i don't think he's doing it for television. >> you seem to be a fan of mr. trump and mr. trump is making a feel a mockery of our political system and a fool of himself. >> the people in new hampshire don't think so. obviously the polls don't reflect that. with all due respect, once you get out in the countryside and between new york and los angeles and talk to regular folks, they have an entirely different opinion. >> i will tell you what he is doing, presenting himself in an authentic way. what is appealing to people is raw authenticity we don't see in politics. i think on the substance, he is really you know he's not doing himself or the republican party any favors. you know i'm sure that mr. bush

and mr. rubio and other people who are serious contenders for the republican nomination are ripping their hair out. >> has he raised the bar and made it harder for others candidates to get attention? >> sure. as the overused phrase you suck the oxygen out of the room thachlt is true. there's no question about that. >> let's see how long he can keep that oxygen in those lungs inside that billionaire body. jeffrey, richard, thank you for being with us. he's got to hold his breath 468 more days and 16 hours. >> sure until the election. the debates are next month. >> next month, next week. >> they are in a week. thank you. 486 will go by in the blink of an eye. joyce mitchell the former prison worker in upstate new york accused of helping richard matt and david sweat escape will be in court today. we are following the hearing.

what are you thinking? >> she's been cooperating with police in providing them with a great deal of information. we will see if that works out for her in court. she is expected in court later on today. first degree promoting prison contraband and fourth degree criminal facilitation. she could be looking at eight years behind bars. her attorney tells me he is hoping for some sort of plea deal hoping all that cooperation is going to pay off for her in some way. in terms of what she is accused of remember, she was supposed to be the so-called get away driver for richard matt and david sweat and got cold feet at the last minute and backed out. she provided them with tools including hacksaw blades. she was the one that helped smuggle the blades into the frozen bits of hamburger meat. her cell phone used to contact

members of matt family. her relationship with sweat under investigation. sweat told investigators he did not have sexual relations with her. she denies she had sexual relations with sweat and matt. one other point, that is about this alleged, so-called murder plot. she was accused of plotting to murder her husband, who also worked at the prison. david sweat told investigators she was a part of it. she denies it. her attorney denies it as well. she is not facing charges related to those allegations. >> we'll watch to see what happens in court today. thanks for that. tune in tonight for a randi kaye special report on cnn, "the great prison escape" will air here at 9:00 p.m. meanwhile authorities in oregon investigating a number of suspicious package deliveries to government buildings. packages were sent to five government offices, some containing an unknown substance.

it's unlikely the mailings are -- sorry, it's likely they are related, but unlikely there is any risk to the general public. a conclusion to a police chase that started in new jersey and ended in pennsylvania. police pursue a white van on highway surface streets, residential neighborhoods and a toll booth. the chase ended two hours after it began when a cruiser used the pit maneuver to make the driver lose control. the van flipped, the suspect was arrested. >> you know i was in l.a. for a long time. that was a regular occurrence. your heart is in your throat when you watch these things happen. people driving, minding their business, cars going the wrong way, unnecessary speeds. it's so horrible. >> the irony in l.a. the only time there's no traffic is when there's a chase. otherwise, you are bumper to bumper traffic. >> more traffic is what you are looking for.

>> yes, people. take my word for it. >> says the girl from new jersey. >> back to the serious top story, the coast guard searching desperately for two missing boys off the coast of florida. how long can they survive at sea? we will speak with the coast guard about where the search is this morning. uhhh - i left my phone in the living room. this isn't the most efficient way for people -or air to travel. awww! ducts produce uneven temperatures and energy loss.

last friday. officials estimate perry cohen and austin stephanos can survive four to five days in the warm ocean waters. the two have been at sea and missing four days. we are joined on the phone by captain mark coast guard seventh district in south florida. they are leading the search. thanks for joining us once again. can you give us an idea of the conditions it rescuers are facing out there. >> caller: yes, good morning. the search conditions are favorable, not very high seas good cloud cover as far as searching. the challenge is we are searching for a very small circumfrance. in the water, all you see is their chest up to their head. you are looking for a very small object over a huge area of open ocean. that is the challenge. >> that's a big challenge. you have a lot of eyes out there. let's bring up the map, again.

many of us who aren't mariners struggle to understand. the young boys were last spotted in jupiter, gassing up their boat a 19-foot motor boat. the boat was found so far away far to the north there. explain how the currents work and why the boat would get that far away. >> caller: sure. when they left jupiter, they headed east and they entered into the gulf stream. the gulf stream is a very strong current that runs from the south towards the north. it runs at 3.5 knots current, that is very fast. once they became disabled or the boat was capsized we are not sure what happened to them. once they were separated from their vessel the boat started drifting north. that's why we found it. that was within the search per am ters. we thought we would find something in that area. it was a positive sign that validated the search efforts.

obviously, we hoped they were there. we are going to continue searching. >> how far from where the boat was found? >> 67 nautical miles to the east. >> the boat could have been disabled or capsized. in terms of a boat capsizing, how does that happen? is that just a question of high seas? the boat taking on water? what are the scenario that is have something like that happen? >> caller: a 19-foot boat is not very big to go out far offshore. in south florida, especially this time of year we have strong squalls that come through there. very sudden storms winds 40 to 50 knots, it can kick the seas up temporarily. even though it's short term it is severe. if they were caught in one of those, especially if they were disabled it is easy to capsize. you can take water on and the boat capsizes. it doesn't take that much to

find yourself in a dangerous situation. >> we have a lot of fishermen on our staff here. a guy was commenting a 19-foot boat is not the type of boat that is wise to take into the open ocean there. give us an idea of the challenge of boating in that blue water as you say. >> caller: we always encourage, you know all mariners even the most experienced, it is dangerous to go to sea. we encourage everyone to file a float plan. let somebody know where you are going and when you expect to be back. we encourage people to have the proper life saving equipment, flotation devices, a radio and some means to contact folks. keep an eye on the weather. especially here in south florida, things can change on a dime. >> mother nature is nothing to contend with. we have heard from the parents who say the boys were as comfortable on land as water or vice versa. they were experienced boaters,

they had licenses yet you say for an experienced boater it can be difficult. the search effort has been going on through the night. tell us about that and the resources and technology you are using for that. >> we have been searching steady since friday evening. we have executed 36 different search pat ordinary reasons for aircraft and surface vessels. at night, different sensories and capabilities. we are using everything at our disposal to try to find austin and perry. >> we know that everybody, including you, putting your lives at risk looking for these young boys everyone wants them found. is it reasonable to think these two kids anybody can survive four or five days out there? >> caller: we will never discount the will to live out there. we will do our best and keep

searching aggressively. obviously, at some point, you reach a time period where someone can only survive so long in those waters. we evaluate those searches every day and we'll see where we are and determine the probability of our future searches for success and make a decision from there. >> certainly everyone is hoping for a miracle. thank you for joining us here on "new day." >> caller: thank you. the president's popularity up. support for the iran deal down. feelings about the economy, way down. so what does that mean for the president, hillary clinton, donald trump and you? john king goes inside politics, next. ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company

a lot of polling to talk about including the president's numbers. then a bit of a connection. cnn's nia henderson. let's start with the president. his approval rating 49% in the cnn/orc poll disapproval 47%. you say the country evenly divided. he's in a holding pattern here. 49 now, 50 in june 45 48 46 if you go back to april and march. the final year and a half of the presidency he's in good shape, not great shape. what does that mean? >> it means something good for hillary clinton. you want a president you are trying to succeed to be in a good place in terms of favoribility ratings. the president, himself, seems to be enjoying the job. he's radiating a confers. he's got an extra kick in his step. good news for hillary clinton. we'll see if it lasts for him. iran discussions coming up.

folks are not on his side in terms of wanting that deal. >> to that point, ronald reagan 49%. george h.w. bush was successful in that regard. george w. bush was 36% at this point. bill clinton, 61%. that was the bush v. gore race. decent numbers for the president. hillary clinton has to be happy with that. the higher he is the better democrats are. people feel okay about their personal economic position. 4 in 10 41% say good. 59% say bad, poor. the economy is doing poorly. that has to present the opening for republicans to say we need change. >> not only republicans, but donald trump. that's what he's feeding into. most people think the country is on the wrong track, the economy

isn't turning around. a majority of people don't think their children are going to do better than they have. donald trump is not qualified to be the president of the united states but they have good reason justifiable reason to get behind a message like that. they see the wheels are coming off. >> making america great. he seas the anxiety about the economy. he's tapping into much better than we anticipated he would, the diskus the republican base has. they don't like speaker boehner and leader mcconnell. >> the fabric of society is falling apart. >> another poll this morning, these numbers don't lie. trump has legs in this race. 24% in new hampshire to 12%, double. donald trump is double jeb bush in new hampshire. here is the surprising number john kasich went from nowhere to

third place. he's active he's put together a network. town halls are well received. he's spent a couple million dollars to watch red sox. smartly spent money, not just on the news shows, but the cable shows. let's start with trump. 24%. he's here to stay. >> he is here to stay. you saw some stories out from other campaigns questioning how this was done, if it means anything. when you are complaining about the polling, you are losing. trump is doing quite well. these are white, working class voters sort of tea party movement folk that is glommed on to trump. he feels like he could be president. he's here to stay. >> he's going to be a factor throughout the election. you want to talk long legs it's not trump. it's the people so upset with politics they are behind trump. the movement the anger, on both

sides of the party, the populous movement that is overlapping is going to be here for a long time until somebody credible shows they can turn the country around and change the way they govern. >> you have bush saying listen we can't be the angry party. he's saying that's not the way we can win. but, those folks who were backing trump, they want to see anger. >> he's saying, i will be the change candidate. he's trying to have it both ways. >> 24-12. if you look at this a lot of people think trump is going to win. a lot of people thought he would. clearly, the old rules don't apply to him. the climate is right for somebody to step in. we know he can perform. the question is can he debate? as we watch the trump effect no matter what happens, he has dramatically changed the race. if you are ben carson you get attention. if you are rick santorum you try to stay look at me. hasn't happened.

they are falling, falling, falling. look at the combination of trump and kasich. kasich is trying to get into the niche with a new hampshire town hall. the guy we thought would take that lane is chris christie the govern of new jersey. he was starting to rise, now his numbers are flat. listen to chrischristie when a voter asked. trump is interesting and has appeal but he can't do the job. >> i thought we were talking about governing our country, not getting attention. >> not right now. >> no no listen. if the -- if the goal here is to find the person to be president of the united states who can get the most attention, he's going to win hands down. if it is the person who can most effectively govern our nation and deal with the world, i would suggest to you i'm in this race because i think i would be better at it than he would.

>> can he make that case to voters who, again, some of them don't view government as a good thing. too much government. two, they have been told this give us a republican house, a republican senate and we will govern your way. they simply don't think their leaders are responding to their concerns. >> i think christie has problems beyond this. what he's doing is interesting and smart. he's taking on trump, but in a way without insulting trump and more importantly, to my point earlier, without insulting trump voters. he's trying not to burn bridges. >> sort of ironic here master of getting attention for yelling at folks now criticizing the other guy, who i think has stolen chris christie's thunder. he's been outtrumped by trump. this will be a nice try, i think, for christie. we will see what trump comes back with. we saw what he did with walker talking about wisconsin's record. and to be fair i mean christie doesn't have a great record in

new jersey. if you start digging in the economy there. >> we are using traffic metaphors, i hate to do that sorry, governor christie but it is what it is. kasich and trump are blocking the christie lane. we are going to have christie and kasich, perhaps he's in the bubble. a week away from the first debate with this one. thanks for coming in this morning. back to new york. fascinating to watch. another thing, we don't have time for the sound, but martin o'malley went after hillary clinton saying she's too close to wall street to change the economy. we'll watch that. >> a week until the debates. do you have a fitness regime before the debates to get ready? >> caffeine. >> thanks so much. quite a story we are going to bring to you. she was one of the first responders who rushed to the

nearly a dozen first responders raced to the scene during last week's deadly shooting last week in louisiana. the emt was one of them. imagine her shock. she arrived at the theater and saw her very own sister standing in the middle of that chaos, covered in blood. caitlin joins us. what a pleasure to speak to you. how are you doing, first of all, and how is your sister doing? she was not injured. how are you both doing today. >> she was not injured. i'm doing a lot better than expected. i thought i would be a lot worse off. she's doing good. she went out of state with family to you know get away and kind of unwind and forget not forget the situation, but, you know try to keep her mind off things. >> take a beat.

pause and reflect a bit. i know you have done a bit of the same too. you are wearing your uniform. you just went back on shift. it was your first shift back at work. if it's okay and you are not comfortable, tell me when you can't talk about this anymore. when you got the first call the day this terrible thing happened tell us about that call. you got a call on dispatch what did they tell you? >> you know they just needed -- there was a lot more injuries than expected so they kind of started sending more trucks slowly. we got the call and we you know it was just like any other call. i mean a little bit more chaotic because we knew it was a mass shooting. we never expected it to happen here. lights and sirens here and we tried to be calm. >> that's when professionalism kicks in. you arrive on scene.

paint a picture for us what the scene was like. what did you find? >> pulling in there was so many cops so many blue lights. it was crazy to see that. as soon as i'm pulling in, the first thing i see is my sister. she lives out of town an hour away from here. i was really in shock, confused why is she here? i know she was full of blood. i didn't know she was in the shooting. i knew she was up and talking and walking. i knew she was fine. that's why i could continue on with my job, my training what i was here to do. and, you know keep ongoing through what i had to do. then you know we got on scene and just kept ongoing. i just kept in the back of my mind she was involved somehow because she was full of blood.

i knew she was okay and that's how i was able to get through it. >> i'm sure your heart must have stopped when you saw her. your job was to attend to these people. you helped several people. i want to know at what point were you made aware there was no longer a threat, that the shooter was down? i can imagine, during the first moments, you don't know if the danger still exists. >> yeah. that's very scary to walk into something. i mean any day, any job, we always walk into something dangerous. this was very different than any other day. but, we knew before we entered the scene that the shooter was down. and i didn't realize until after who is shooter was. you know i think that was best that i didn't know. >> yeah just stay focused on the job at hand. >> yeah. you know focus on the injured

ones injured victims that needed help to get to the hospital. but, it was much relief to know that the shooter was down before we got there. >> i want to ask you a question as a first responder, because you arrive at scenes often when tragedy has happened and there have been accidents and people have gotten sick. oftentimes when people have gotten hurt at the hand of someone else governor rick perry of texas suggested that more theaters should theater goers should carry guns. what are your thoughts? what is your reaction to his comments? >> my -- my thought is you need some kind of training before you can do that. you know some kind of handgun safety class. a lot of people aren't trained and then they end up hurting themselves you know harming themselves than doing good.

that's kind of a tough question but, i think we should have the right to carry. i really do feel that. i felt that before this situation. >> right. >> because, nowadays you can't walk around without an eye over your shoulder. >> let's talk about louisiana and your community there real quickly. lafayette, how is everybody doing? you are back at work. how is your sister doing? >> as a community, you know i have heard several people say that we are thankful that the shooter did pull the gun on himself. he didn't you know he's not running around town or you know we don't have to go face through a trial. we don't have to be reminded with it. you know? it's over with. the fact that he wasn't from here is -- >> all right, i think it's -- >> we were -- >> well we want to say thank

you for joining us on "new day." this is not an easy thing to talk about as a professional. we know you take your job seriously. you are going to be back at it tomorrow. thank you for sharing the story of you and your sister. we are glad to know she is well. >> yes, ma'am. >> all right. thanks so much. john? >> a lot of bravery there. thanks michaela. joyce mitchell appears in court today accused of helping two killers make a brazen escape. could she push for a plea deal? if not, what kind of sentence might she face? er than before you know what he can do? let's see if he's ready. he can swim with the sharks! book your next stay at lq.com! you focus on making great burgers, or building the best houses in town. or becoming the next highly-unlikely dotcom superstar. and us, we'll be right there with you helping with

missing after setting out friday on a fishing trip. the coast guard still holding on to hope after finding their capsized boat. their search area expanding off the coast to an area the size of indiana. we have the latest on the search efforts. >> reporter: the coast guard says the search for the missing teens is challenging. they are vowing to continue. the families of the children say they are holding out hope they will be found alive. this morning, rescue teams are beginning day five of their searching if missing teenage boaters austin stephanos and perry cohen. on sunday crews located the boy's capsized boat off the coast of florida. austin and perry, nowhere in sight. only a single orange life vest floating alongside the 19-foot vessel. >> nobody is on board. trying to find any other gear. >> it is positive news in that

it helped validate the search efforts we were looking in the right area. disappointed the boys were not clinging to that vote. >> reporter: with the gulf stream in mind they are searching north of where the boat was located, 77 miles off the coast of st. augustine. >> it's all hands on deck effort. >> reporter: the u.s. coast guard executed at least 36 different searches with the help from the navy. crews have scoured 37,000 square miles, more than the size of indiana. >> these boys have been doing this forever. it's not new to them. they -- they prepare for these situations. >> reporter: the boys moms say their sons are licensed and experienced boaters. >> i think a lot of people think about but the boys were only 14 years old, what were they doing out on a boat? we live in a boating community. this is part of the lifestyle here.

>> reporter: the coast guard says right now the good conditions could work in their favor. a person could survive in these warm waters for four to five days. >> the boys are raised on the water, they are raised on boats. it is second nature to them. they are going to be okay. >> reporter: the perry and austin rescue fund has been established to pay for private searches. so far, they have raised more than $44,000. john? >> thanks so much. according to the latest cnn/orc poll americans approve of president obama's job performance for the second month in a row. issues like the economy and the nuclear deal with iran a different story. let's get the latest from athena jones from the white house. athena athena? >> the job numbers are the one good news. approval numbers holding steady at 49%. there's bad news in the numbers. take a look at the economy. 41% of those polls say economic

conditions in this country are good. 6 in 10 say they are poor. that is a big change from april, when 52% said conditions today are good. of course it's a long way out from the general election we know from the polling, the economy is the top issue on voters minds, republicans and democrats. it could give republicans an opening to argue why send another democrat to the white house. more bad news when it comes to feelings about the nuclear deal reached with iran. this is a deal the president has been trying to sell in interviews. it looks like the sales pitch is falling short. 52% say congress should reject the deal with iran. it breaks down largely along party lines with republicans more likely to oppose. congress is in the middle of the 60-day review period. the republican critics we have heard a lot from in congress will probably take heart in

these numbers. alisyn? >> thanks so much for that background. let's talk more about the numbers and so much more with chief strategist and communications director sean spicer. good morning, sean. >> good morning, alisyn. >> let's talk about the hot, off the presses cnn/orc polls. the first is president obama's approval rating. he is at 49%. his disapproval, 47%. let's look at this in historical context. itis interesting to see where other presidents were at this point in their terms. so as we said president obama is at 49%. at this point, president bush george w. was at 36%. bill clinton was at 61%, ronald reagan exactly matched where barack obama is now at 49%. do you agree with the democrats that 49% for barack obama means this is good news for hillary clinton? >> unfortunately, i don't.

i think because of the other part of the poll you talked about. whether it's the economy or foreign policy. at the end of the day, if people believe hillary clinton is going to be a third term barack obama and the economy is not doing well and people don't think it's doing well people are concerned about what's happening with the foreign policy. i don't know how you can run as the third term when they don't like the policy of the current administration. >> this just in president obama, moments ago, because he's on a trip to ethiopia today, he was just asked about the numbers. he said, he believes if he were to run again, he could one. what is your response? >> well we have a constitution that's not going to allow that to happen. >> do you think he's popular enough now that the numbers of 49% of approval a third obama term would be okay with the american people? >> no i don't. at the end of the day, look whether it is the economy or the foreign policy neither one will

hold water. i think the obama campaign last cycle, was phenomenal. they did a great job on the ground and with digital. we have been able to catch up. when you look at last cycle. mitt romney won on the key policy. i think we now leapfrogged to democrats on that. we are really prepared come sboog 2016. >> le's talk about the first debate the first republican debate happening a week from now. there's going to be number crunching. the most recent five polls are going to be crunched together and the top ten gop candidates are going to be chosen to appear on the debate stage. are you getting pressure from the lower tier candidates saying that's not a fair set up? >> i wouldn't say pressure anybody in 15th or 16th place wants to be in first of second. there's going to be grumbling at the bottom. i will go back to statements that both fox and cnn have not

included the top ten, a historical high in terms of people on a debate stage. fox and cnn have gone the extra step to have a second debate for those not in the top ten but the top 16. historically they may have gotten no voice because they weren't polling high enough. what you have seen this cycle is the first two debates, an opportunity for anybody in the top 16 to get on a debate stage, have their voice heard. i actually applaud both networks for going the extra step. >> tell us what's happening behind the scenes. are gop candidates telling you they think donald trump is sucking the oxygen out of the room for them? >> no they are not going to say that to me or to anyone here. i think each one is trying to run their own campaign. the reality of a campaign look at the players on the board, figure out a strategy and figure out how to get your candidate to move further up. i think they are having those

conversations inside but not just with donald trump, but other candidates. if so and so were to drop out or if i surge ahead of this candidate, i can move up. i think it's a much more holistic strategic that is happening within each campaign. >> what do you think about the rhetoric? we had two pundits, more than two on this morning on "new day" that say this rhetoric is more inflammatory this season than they have ever heard before. >> i don't think they studied well in high school. if you look back in the 1800s, there were some pretty devisive rhetoric. i think as far as republicans go i'm going to echo the sentiments of my boss who talked about invoking reagan's 11th commandment. republican on republican the focus has to be november of next year winning the white house and keeping hillary clinton out. that said name calling amongst

each other is not productive. while it may have a short term benefit, talk about yourselves. yes, in a primary, you are going to distinguish your policy from the other folks, that's fine. it's part of the process. the name calling has to go away. >> donald trump was on television last night and he was talking about a third party run saying he would only consider it if the republican establishment, you in the rnc don't play nicely with him. let me play for you what he had so aabout this. >> if i'm treated fairly and i get a good fair shot at this and i'm not being sabotaged with nonsense and phoney ads and they throw a lot of money into it and do ad that is are false and this and that. if i get a good shot a fair shot i would have no interest in doing that. all i want to do is be treated fairly. over the last week or so rates

and the whole group, they have treated us fairly. >> sean what do you think about him saying if you play nice with him, he won't have a third party run? >> it's not just him. we are going to play nicely with every candidate. we are treat them equally and fairly. that's our job. a lot of people want us to tip the scale one way or another. we don't carve a candidate out. that's what's beautiful about our party, we believe in the free market not just the marketplace, fwu candidates. they all run, make their cases to the voter. >> let me push back for a second. they did make a phone call or have a conversation with donald trump telling him to back it down a little bit. >> well look he has conversations with every candidate. not every one becomes public. we try to keep all those conversations. that's not unique. we talk to the campaigns, the candidates all these people. in some cases, we talk about

what the party is doing, the best interest of the party and the general election and the the things that may be helpful in the data. yes, the messaging and the tone. we do talk to all of them. that particular conversation leaked out and that was unfortunate. at the end of the day, do we council all candidates and tell them what we are doing absolutely. >> let's talk about the message of another gop candidate, governor mike huckabee. he was on another morning show asked about his, some say inflammatory xentcomments about the iran deal and how dangerous he considers the deal. he did not back down. he further expounded on it. listen to this. >> as president of the united states would you use the words march the israeli's to the door of the ovrn? >> yes, i have been there dozens of times. i have been to israel dozens of

times. the one thing i am assured of is for 6,000 years, jews have been hunted down. the last time they did not take seriously threats against the jewish people before world war ii it ended up in the murder of 6 million jews. >> are you comfortable with that holocaust language being used? >> well as we go back to the idea of being treated fairly our job is not to sit here and call balls and strikes and you shouldn't talk about this policy in a particular way. governor huckabee made his comments he articulated why he made them. just with the clip you made. they should speak for themselves. it's not my job or the rncs job to get in the middle and say don't talk about this this way or that that way. we'll have conversations about what is in the best interest of the party privately, but we are not going co-condemn someone for how they talk about a policy.

>> do you feel the rhetoric is ratcheted up because people are use zing inflammatory language already, now to outdo each other, they keep upping the ante? >> no. i think, again, it doesn't take more than an internet search we have discourse in this country in terms of the rhetoric and name calling. sometimes it is inappropriate. again, we believe it is helpful to focus on talking positively about what our policies are and contrasting ourselves with hillary clinton. and why she is untrust worthy. at the end of the day, i'm not going to sit here and call balls and strikes on these individuals. >> sean it's been an interesting race. we look forwards to next week's debate. see you then. >> thanks. let's get to michaela. you were referring to the president's trip to ethiopia making political headlines back

home. michelle kaczynski is in ethiopia traveling with the president. hi michelle. >> reporter: this is his last speech on the africa trip the first time a u.s. president addressed the african union, speaking to the entire continent. he wanted to make it personal. he said he's the son of an african and that shaped who he is and how he sees the world. he lauded africa's progress but he wanted to call out, seemingly, everything he saw. also that he feels needs to change. striking out, first of all, repeatedly mentioning dignity. hammering that point home. human rights for everybody. including the phrase no matter who you love. another reference to the highly controversy yawl subject of homo sexuality. he slammed human rights abuses

oppression of women, the cancer of corruption and african leaders who don't want to leave their offices, ever. getting huge reactions from the crowd. listen to this. >> i love my work. but, under our constitution i cannot run again. i can't run again. [ applause ] i actually think i'm a pretty good president. i think if i ran, i could win. but i can't. >> reporter: he also called out the jailing of journalists that happened here in ethiopia on terrorism. he said let's call these group what is they are. they are not islamic, they are murderers. we were watching it with a group of africans who couldn't believe how bluntly he was addressing these touchy subjects. they were stunned, they were cheering saying we can't believe he is going there on

some of these topics. he clearly wanted to and he did. back to you guys. >> all right, michelle thanks so much. yeah constitution is in the way of that third term. joyce mitchell accused of helping richard matt and david sweat escape is expected in court today. her attorney is pushing for a plea deal. jayson carol is here with more on the hearing. >> will she get the plea deal? she is expected to wave her right to have charges presented the the grand jury. she's been cooperating, providing them with a wealth of information. a plea deal could be in the works here. she will be in court later on this morning in terms of the charges she is facing facing a number of charges including prison contraband and fourth degree criminal facilitation. in terms of what she could be looking at in the future eight years behind bars. once again, her attorney is hoping in some way, they can get a plea deal because of her

cooperating in the past. to recap, john in terms of what she was involved with she was the so-called get away driver but got cold feet backed out. she did provide richard matt and david sweat with tools to cut through the walls. the hacksaw blades stuffed and smuggled into the frozen meat in the prison. cell phone use to contact members of richard math's family. her relationship with david sweat under investigation. sweat telling investigators he did not have a sexual relationship in any way, shape or form with joyce mitchell and telling investigators about the murder plot that she was involved with the so-called murder plot to murder her husband, who was a guard at the prison. she denies that. her attorney denies that. she is not facing any of those charges in relation to those allegations today. john? >> i'll take it here. jason, thanks so much.

talking to three miracles in front of me. good morning. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> you all look just fine. i can't believe you went through this ordeal a few short days ago, a couple weeks ago. keith, you were going out on a fun fishing trip. when did you realize something was going wrong? >> about has been hour and a half offshore one of the engines started giving me problems. >> the first engine goes the second engine goes and the battery dies. that's when things got more dire for you, right? >> the one engine shut down and wouldn't crank back up. the second engine we ran on it for a while fishing, giving the other engine time to cool down or something. after probably an hour hour and a half of trying to crank the engine back up all the batteries started dying. the other engine that was running died. we lost all engines, all power.

>> that's when the boat started taking on water, right? >> started taking on water. no power, so the village pump couldn't pump anything. we tried to call the coast guard, signal people everything. >> nobody answered? >> nope got nothing. the batteries were -- we did, the boat went to tilt. as we were going, i was trying to get out from under my seat. it was too late. it actually went under the seat. >> oh my goodness. at some point, you realize that you have to jump into the ocean as your boat is sinking. i can imagine the first thing you thought, you and your friend kenny were there. you are looking alt your son, your son's best friend and realize you are looking autonot only for your own life and your buddy's life but your son and his friend. what is going through your mind? >> scared to death. >> i bet you were.

>> i knew i had to protect themselves if i could. i was going to do anything i could to. but i knew it was going to be a job keeping everybody safe and trying to get back home. >> reese, you probably are realizing, this isn't the way the fishing trip is supposed to go. did your dad look scared? when did you start getting worried and scared yourself? >> i started getting worried and scared at night. and my dad, i didn't really see fear in his eyes. >> you didn't? >> no, ma'am. >> that's impressive. i don't know how you were able to hold it together. justin you are with your friend. you are away with your friend's family when this happens, what's going through your mind honey? >> i'm scared. >> what was keith telling you to do? >> just calm down.

>> were you able to do that? >> everything will be okay. >> did you believe him? >> yes, ma'am. >> you believed him that it was going to be okay? let me just add a little added drama to this. keith, is it true you had some finned visitors come around where you were? >> yes, ma'am. we actually had two different occasions with some type of fish. the first occasion was at night. some kind of -- something in the water completely surrounded us and gave off the green light. >> green light? >> yeah it was a green light. i looked it up online. it gave off a green light and glowed around us. the other time was at daylight before the coast guard found us sharks started bumping us and cutting our skin.

we fought off sharks for a little time. >> you held on to a cooler. i understand you had a rope you tied around the four of you. was there food in that or water or anything in that cooler? >> there was ice and water stuff. no food. it was actually two coolers we tried to throw out as the boat was tilting over. the other cooler got sucked back up under the boat i guess. it had the food in it. it was just sandwich stuff. the cooler we had had water and ice, minimal stuff. >> right, right. >> but it was mainly used -- >> as a flotation device. >> to float. >> you get through the night. you are more and more fatigued you are trying to keep them calm. finally, you see help coming. explain that feeling when you saw the coast guard coming

towards you. >> that's when i really saw hope and felt we were going to be okay. then about two or three hours go by and i realize they can't see us. >> oh no. >> how did you get their attention? >> i started getting scared? couldn't get the plane or helicopter's attention. we are so small. one of the coast guard rescue boats started coming in our direction. when he got close enough to where i thought he could possibly see us i asked my son to give me his orange life jacket. i stood on top of the cooler waving as hard as i could and got his attention. >> thank god they did and got you back to safety. i'm sure you were dehydrated and fatigued. what is the first thing you wanted to do when you touched

dry land? what is the first thing you wanted to do when you got home? >> to see my mom and brother. >> i bet your mom doesn't want you out of her sight. reese, you, too. you helped these two young men who will never forget this ordeal. >> thank you. >> thanks so much for joining us today. what a story of survival john. >> what a story, indeed. the gunman who opened fire in a louisiana movie theater, suffered from mental illness issue. we'll speak with a lawmaker who fought long and hard for more to be done. stay with us. ♪ irresistible moments deserve irresistibles treats.

the way you charge. the samsung galaxy s6 and s6 edge, with built-in wireless charging capabilities. in the wake of louisiana's deadly mass shooting by a man with a history of mental illness, the question of how it's treated in this country is up for discussion. congressman tim murphy is fighting to overhaul the system with a bill called mental health crisis act. he joins us this morning. congressman, thank you for joining us and for all your work on this issue. >> thank you. the shooter in louisiana had been ordered by a judge to go to a mental health facility but he was not involuntarily committed. because he was not, he did not show up on the background check. bad enough for a judge to order

him to go to a facility but not enough to show up on the background check. does that loophole need to be changed? >> you have judges who say it's not illegal to be crazy, which i think is derogatory. there's not enough hospital beds so many times, doctors and hospitals don't want to go through dealing with an involuntary commitment. unless the person appears to be an imnant danger they will not force commitment. this is where the problem occurs. not enough facilities providers and push. you end up with people not taking thorough history and not understanding that if a person with a serious mental illness and history of violence is 15 times more likely to engage in an act of violence if they are not in treatment. these are part of the standards

we need to achieve in getting people help instead of pushing it on the street. >> it makes it clear. this standard of involuntary commitment may not be the right one to determine if someone may be a danger. >> we actually have learned a lot since the 1800s when a lot of standards were set up. a year ago this month, there was an important study released where they have genetic markers. if you look at someone abusing things a history of violence they are all a huge red flag that something is amiss. there's another thing, too. state haves the ability to use assisted outpatient treatment instead of involuntary commitment they have outpatient. the louisiana legislature was the first one to really call for support of my bill helping families because they saw a year ago there was problems occurring and they needed to do something

about it. we have a long way to go. i'm telling you what i'm getting tired and frustrated with moments of silence in the house floor. we need to do that for victims and give them respect and prayers. the silence of congress is deafening. it reaches a point where i go from frustrated to angry. we ought to get up and do something besides being silent. >> how do you explain the silence? >> i can't. it's people that don't understand it. if you ignore it it will go away. denial is not a treatment. ignoring is not a treatment. we'll have more of these. it may take more before the house and senate the white house wake up and say let's start dealing with this mess that we have of a disjointed and fragmented health system. agencies that don't work together. barriers the government sets up where we don't have enough beds. laws that keep them working together, insurance companies working. a host of problems.

that's why my bill addresses it in a comprehensive way, not a piecemeal way. >> when you say i have this bill this is an issue i have worked on for years and keep on being incidents where people with mental health issues are involved in mass shootings, what does leadership say? >> well i certainly have the attention and had a brief discussion with kevin mccarthy on this. what i hear is let's move this bill. fred upton, the chairman of the commerce committee with jurisdiction over this says in the month of august staff will work this out and bring it for a vote in september. in the meantime the american people have to get fired up call congressmen and get on the bill. remember they have to become co-sponsors to continue to show the energy behind this not go to funerals but a vote in the floor and say we are going to do something instead of mourn the

losses. >> moments of silence are not enough. thank you again for your work and for coming on "new day" this morning. >> thank you. >> alisyn. joyce mitchell the woman accused of helping inmates escape goes to court today. cnn is taking a deeper look at their hollywoodesque get away. we have a sneak peek ahead.

>> this morning, former prison worker joyce mitchell will appear in court for her role in helping richard matt and david sweat escape. she provided them with tools and was supposed to be their get away drive. randi kaye has a special report on it tonight. take a look. >> reporter: a massive manhunt under way.

fugitives david sweat and richard matt on the run. law enforcement going door-to-door leaving nothing to chance. >> we are leaving no stone unturned. >> they could be anywhere. >> reporter: where were they and what did the prison seamstress really know. what do we know about their plan after they left the prison? >> well she's been consistent. she's been consistent that it was seven hours from this area and she didn't know whether it was somewhere in new york pennsylvania vermont, canada. if we believe her to be telling the truth on that then they were keeping her at bay about what their alternate plan may have been. >> reporter: that plan remains elusive. all investigators know is that their get away fell apart when mitchell backed out leaving the escaped prisoners without the ride they needed. without transportation they were blocked outside the prison

scrambling to avoid capture. check pounlts and roadblocks were quickly set up and police searched each vehicle for anything out of the ordinary. imploring the public to be on the lookout. >> they could be holed up in a home somewhere, watching the search on television nice and cool nice and dry. >> lee baits is a former accomplice of matt's. >> they had something in common. we are out, when they catch us we are done. their mind set is going to be, they are not going to take us alive. >> let's bring in randi kaye now. great to see you. >> you, too. >> one of the gripping elements of this love triangle between the mitchell and the men. >> they worked in the tailor shop together. we spoke to a former prisoner who noticed the unique

relationship between mitchell and sweat. he said when the rest of the guys would go to the mess hall for lunch, mitchell would keep him and bring him fried chicken and barbecue chicken. her lawyer says she had no relationship at all with sweat. there was nothing sexual going on nothing more than a working relationship. it was enough to have eyebrows raised and moved him out in 2013. the former prisoner told me that a lot of people in the tailor shop did think there was something going on. they called joyce mitchell david sweat's boo. >> she's in court today. she appears in court today, maybe looking for a plea deal. what more have you learned about this contention that she may have wanted sweat and matt to kill her husband or they wanted to kill her husband. what wanted this? >> her lawyer says she was never

aware and didn't make a plot to do that. but, when david sweat was caught he started talking and sharing things. he told authorities it was joyce mitchell's idea to have her husband killed so she could run away with them. apparently she had a change of heart. she was on a dinner date with her husband, lyle who also worked in the tailor shop knew the guys out for dinner it went well she had a change of heart. she decided not to show up or bring the get away car. >> i can't help but think of the poor husband. imagine finding all of this out. >> and still visited her in jail. incredible. >> cant wait to see more. you can watch the cnn special report "the great prison escape" tonight at 9:00 on cnn. we have good stuff coming up. what has this real life forest gump running from maine to california? he's our good stuff.
