no legal violation for the media. >> this is a story that keeps eating away at the credibility of the president. >> why is it lie after lie after lie? if you clean, come on clean. >> cobb is expected to now oversee the white house response to the russia investigation. >> we are going to repeal and replace obamacare. >> republican senator john mccain recovering from eye surgery will not perform any official duties all next week. donald trump was in paris
3:01 am
this week. met the french president's macr macron's wife and said you are in such great shape. would you flattered or offended if he said that to you? >> i be taken aback. i wonder if she could say the same of him. this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> always good to see you even this early on a sunday morning. thank you for being with us. new this morning. republican health care bill on hold yet again. overnight, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell putting the brakes on this week's planned vote after word that john mccain is recovering from surgery. he had to have a blood clot removed. >> that means the senator will not be returning to chill this week a -- capitol hill this week. the president stalled agenda leading to dropping approval number in this new poll from "the washington post" and abc news.
3:02 am
it's down to 36%. 60% now think satisfy disapprove. >> the president's reathletic campaign paying big money to his son's legal team. >> plus from fbi director to author now. james comey writing a boo book about his public service and what else will he say about his role until the 2016 election and his oval office interactions with president atrump? >> reporter: sarah westwood and errol louis, good morning to both of you. we want to talk about the poll numbers. the approval rating dropped to 36%. it was 42% in april. we are hearing that part of that may be that 48% of the people only see president trump's leadership in the world weaker
3:03 am
since the inauguration and they are seeing an inability to progress some of his policy. that is what is citing some of these low number. errol, what is your initial reaction to the numbers we are seeing coming out this morning? >> these are, apparently, are some of the worse numbers in decade so you have to go back to like the ford administration, i think,s to see the level of disapproval quite so high, quite so early in a president's term. so that causes some problems for the white house. my sense of it, though, i got to tell you, i think that some of the -- the distrust of whether or not the administration is doing the right thing on the world stage ties back to some of this uncertainty about the financial dealings of the trump family, donald trump in particular, the lack of the tax returns. never quite knowing whether or not it's the country's interest or some private financial interest that is being advanced. because if you probe into the poll, what it says is that people are not trusting this
3:04 am
administration to do the right thing. when it comes to sort of deal making and negotiation internationally. that level of uncertainty, i think, accounts for a lot of those negative number. >> sarah, do you expect that president trump will address these numbers? nobody likes negative numbers, of course, but you have to wonder if seeing what we are seeing this morning will drive him to act in any way? >> i think president trump is famously mistrustful of polls so i don't know that seeing any particular number will have an effect on him because we know from our experience on the campaign that he discarded any number that showed him unfavorably. if you watch the numbers throughout his presidency, it has not really been tied to one incident that washington has labeled as catastrophic. the numbers have sunk more than anything because president trump
3:05 am
has not been able to advance his agenda, either on capitol hill or when he tries to go it alone, the courts have stopped him. you have seen the number drop not sharply after something controversial happens or emerges about the russia controversy but steadily and slowly as his agenda continues to be gummed up on capitol hill and in the courts. that is one of the major reasons why we are seeing the numbers stagnate and it's really difficult to see how he gets around that as long as the controversies are still raging. >> in all fairness, polls weren't exactly accurate going into on this election either. so there is a lot of question about the accuracy of them. so let's talk about what you were just talking about when we look ahead to policy and the fact that health care is now put on hold again. errol, he said it's delayed. help me. they didn't reset it. we are in kind of a waiting game now, aren't we? >> look. the fact of the matter is if somebody like john mccain if anyone one of the yes votes that
3:06 am
the republican majority has, senator mcconnell can't afford to lose even one senator. the pause may turn into a long-term pause because they just don't have any wiggle room here. you have senators paul and colin saying hard-to be hard-nosed. you've got the republican senators including sandoval and kasich in ohio and important states saying this is going to harm them and their states and they are urging no votes. so the white house hasn't quite figured out the politics on this and slong that is the case, both the white house and the republican leadership are going to decide to sort of keep this on ice until they have got something approaching a decent chance of getting a yes vote. >> that would be problematic when you look ahead how they want to tackle taxes. vice president pence talked about that yesterday. let's listen to what he had to say. >> we are talking about members
3:07 am
of congress and senators every day on our tax cut plan. discussions will continue. details will be worked out. but i'll make you a promise. with the leadership of president donald trump, we are going to pass historic tax relief and we are going to pass it this year. >> so, sarah, the problem, as i understand it, is theyive hoping the health care numbers would drive what they do with tax. if they don't have the health care numbers, how do you move forward with tax if health care isn't reconciled? >> republicans haven't answered that question and why you haven't seen any substantive plan emerge so far about what direction they are going to take tax reform. the closed door conversations, these meetings with stake holders and conservative groups and people who are helping to shape the policy have been going on for months now since the early spring. but yet we haven't seen anything more than just broad top lines of what that policy might look like emerge because they are
3:08 am
waiting on that health care bill. and that is why delaying this health care bill indefinitely is so much more consequential for republicans because the rest of their agenda depends on the health care lechgislation. they were hoping to get a infrastructure package done this year but none of those items can get done as long as health care is consuming all of the oxygen on capitol hill. they are running out of time. the legislative calendar distant have many days left on it for this year. slong health care is in limbo, it's not clear they are going to pass anything else. >> it makes you wonder how health care may become a stop light from any other thing on the agenda until they move forward. sarah, i know you're staying with us. we want your voice in a couple of other thing coming up here. on "state of the union" today, mark warner and susan

collins and jay sekulow will join jake tapper on cnn here at 9:00 a.m. how this new white house attorney will have maybe the toughest job of all -- controlling the messaging coming out of the white house in response to the russia scandal. >> the fbi director who was fired by president trump is writing a book and apparently a lot of publishers are interested in talking to him. and how the president told the first lady of france she is in such good shape. >> i wonder if she could say the same of him. as moms, we send our kids out into the world, full of hope. and we don't want something like meningitis b getting in their way. meningococcal group b disease, or meningitis b, is real. bexsero is a vaccine to help prevent meningitis b in 10 to 25 year olds. even if meningitis b is uncommon,
3:10 am
that's not a chance we're willing to take. meningitis b is different from the meningitis most teens were probably vaccinated against when younger. we're getting the word out against meningitis b. our teens are getting bexsero. bexsero should not be given if you had a severe allergic reaction after a previous dose. most common side effects are pain, redness or hardness at the injection site; muscle pain; fatigue; headache; nausea; and joint pain. bexsero may not protect all individuals. tell your healthcare professional if you're pregnant or if you have received any other meningitis b vaccines. ask your healthcare professional about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can't wait. it's my decision to make it's nbeauty last.ix. roc® retinol started visibly reducing my fine lines and wrinkles in one week. and the longer i use it, the better it works. retinol correxion® from roc methods, not miracles.™

3:14 am
cnn's boris sanchez has been looking into that. what are you learning, boris? >> reporter: the name of the new attorney added to the white house's legal team is ty cobb. he is a powerful washington, d.c. defense attorney who has handled some pretty high profile clients in the past, including defending two officials with connections to the clinton white house. he has also defended major corporations and ex-cia officer and someone with a lot of experience defending white collar crime. he is actually a former federal prosecutor. up until taking this job at the white house he was a lawyer at a powerful d.c. law firm. he is now expected to oversee the white house response to the russia investigation and not only legally but in the press. he is trying to manage a white house response to a story that has created quite a cloud, an impediment almost to the trump guinea. friends of ty cobb including a
3:15 am
cnn analyst say he is a shrewd, smart attorney. listen. >> one is they are bringing in ty to replicate what clinton did during his problems which is to create a legal war room in the white house council office to deal with this on a day-to-day base. and you see abby lowell coming in to represent jared kushner. abby is a well-known criminal law represented john edward recently in his problems. so you see the shifting in legal representation. jamie stays in as the ethics person, and abby comes in front and center on the criminal side. so people are becoming more sensitive to the fact that this is a criminal investigation. it is not a hoax. it is not a witch hunt. it is a serious legal matter and they are beginning to take the first steps, steps they should have taken months ago probably to recognize the jeopardy that they are potentially in. >> in another bit of legal news
3:16 am
related to the white house and the trump family. according to an fec committee filing to reelect president trump paid $50,000 to the legal firm that is now representing donald trump jr. about two week before that "the new york times" story broke regarding a meeting between donald trump jr. and a russian lawyer in trump talker. cnn has not been able to confirm whether or not that payment was made specifically for legal representation for donald trump jr. the filing cites it is for legal consulting. cnn has reached out to the trump family and to that law firm but we have yet to hear back. back to you. >> boris, thank you very much. our panel is back to discuss this. errol louis and cnn political comment tator and sarah westwood. errol, as boris said, they could be unrelated the russian probe and donald trump jr.'s meeting
3:17 am
and this payment. the lack of chronology and who knew what when, could this be preparation for the oncoming controversy? >> there's a range of reporting suggesting white official and legal talent that knew weeks ago that was coming. yeah, this is more in that direction. i think, though, the other question, victor, that comes with this is if they are paying for donald trump jr. through the campaign going forward, for the real act, and then look back at this meeting in june of 2016 when he is there with the campaign chairman, the question is, you know, is he, was he a campaign operative? was this something that, you know, instead of simply acting as if this was the meddling of a novice who is trying to help his dad out maybe this was official to the campaign and something the campaign has to answer for. if you're going to pay the legal
3:18 am
bills of donald trump jr. and have him sit in at the highest levels when the campaign is in full swing, then, you know, his actions, while he may characterize them as a son trying to help his father, maybe they are official campaign actions and that trigger an entirely different set of legal and regulatory questions that bwhat is proper. >> let's talk about another angle of if the growing legal teams as we heard boris, ty cobb added the to the team to shape the message from the russia probe from the white house. he may have the toughest job on the white house staff. but it may be less about what he can do and this shrewd smart attorney, as his colleague described him, but the president's willingness to imply. the president's discipline as it relates to a message. is there any evidence that ty cobb will be able to keep the president off twitter? >> well, i think that the hiring of ty cobb and bringing him into
3:19 am
the white house is sort of an acknowledgment by the trump aide and maybe the president himself who signed off on this decision that is becoming a more serious legal issue and even if they disagree with the basis for this investigation, that it could still yield criminal charges for folks if they don't imply with document request, if they lie to investigators, if they obscure what happened. so this is a recognition that the situation is becoming more and more serious every day. also i don't know that referring reporters to mark kasowitz and trying to brush off questions, mark kasowitz who is the current representation outside of the white house has been an effective strategy because it leaves a lot of unanswered questions and loose ends in the sense that the white house is not addressing these questions head-on. having a lawyer in the white house able to shape the white house's response to these type of questions could help the west wing appear more transparent and it's not clear that mark
3:20 am
kasowitz ever sought or obtained a security clearance, so it's important to have an attorney that is able to access classified information given that this investigation has to do with material that is so sensitive, so bringing someone in-house who has that capability could also help sharpen the legal defense. >> errol, even with a security clearance for ty cobb, the president, even yesterday, called this the probes into the russia collusion a hoax. is the president on the list of people as attorney eldin said a few moments is aware of how serious this situation is? >> i don't know that the president can pardon himself and most of his team if everything really goes south, but just as you suggest, there's a really difficult task that ty cobb or anybody else is going to have in trying to create a coherent protective legal strategy for this white house which is that
3:21 am
you've got somebody in the form of the president who, on a whim, can sort of throw out a statement on twitter or throw out a statement to the press that up-end the entire strategy. it's not just twist, by the way. when donald trump jr. went on fox news this week and gave a series of less than credible, less than truthful statements less than complete at a minimum statements about what happened in that june meeting, he, too, is sort of creating legal exposure for multiple people within the campaign and now the white house. ty cobb is going to have his hands full trying to get a coherent legal message and strategy in place as long as the trump's, father and son insist on creating their own strategy and winging it as they go along. >> errol louis and sarah westwood, stick around for us. we have one more segment with you and we have to talk about some of the other issues that are coming out of washington.

3:28 am
unfolded and his final days with the fbi before he was dismissed by president trump. we are willing if he is going to include his juicy details from his time in office particularly the last two years he will receive an enormous pay-out for that book. i think it will be an instant best-seller and i'll want to read it if he includes some of those very interesting and still unknown details from those last very controversial couple of years of his service. so this is going to be one of those rare book that kind of unites washington. everybody wants to read it. one of those potentially explosive accounts. we just don't know how much he is allowed to or willing to include in it. >> errol, do books like this, tell-alls may be it, really have any effect on a current or a past president or administration? >> well, i don't know if it will affect this or any other administration. i mean, the question is is it going to be a tell-all or a tell some, right? because if you want to get into a bidding war, if he is talking with a book agent or with
3:29 am
publishers, one of the things they will tell him right away is that to the extent that you can put a bombshell in there, something that nobody else knew, you know, it really could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions. and so it's a really serious but he has to get to it. i suspect a lifelong public servant like in comey doesn'tnd how explosive the information he takes for granted is, how badly the rest of us want to know what was going on. i'll certainly be cued up just like everybody else to see if i can get an interview with him if and when this book appears. >> all righty. let's talk, real quickly, about what happened in france and the australian foreign minister julie bishop's reaction to it that has really garnered some attention this morning. let's look at what happened when president trump met there in france with france's first lady.
3:30 am
>> beautiful. >> if ed that to you, would you be flattered or offended? >> i would be taken ai baaback, think. it's an interesting comment to make. i wonder if she could say the same of him. >> errol. >> ouch! >> yeah. i saw you flinch. what was your reaction to her reaction? >> the standard of the "access hollywood" tape and comments we have heard from donald trump over the years, i didn't think very much of his comment to the first lady in paris in the first place. and once in a while we get a reminder, i think this is one of them, we just elected our oldest president ever and he is going to have to get used to the standards of a world in which there are a lot of female head of state, foreign ministers, other who are expecting a
3:31 am
different kind of even if he sort of well intentionedly comments he has to get used to that. >> sarah? what about you? i understand what errol is saying, no doubt about it. this is a man who has been in office -- not in office, but in big business for many, many years. it did seem out of the ordinary. >> it did, but i think that this comment, while it was a little off key, it wasn't significant in the context of his trip. it didn't seem at all to impact his relationship with the macrons. it was an otherwise very successful trip from the perspective of the white house. the comment sort of went viral on social media and got a lot of attention but overall i don't think it was a big deal. a lot of president trump's critics like to focus on any and all flaws in the administration that they can find but certainly
3:32 am
this is like errol said, pretty tame by donald trump's standard and i don't think that it had any kind of effect on his trip to france. >> yeah. no doubt about it. ed she looked beautiful. errol louis, sarah westwood, always appreciate your voice. thank you for being here. >> thank you. democrat are taking kid rock senate run plans seriously. the singer also known as robert james ritchie took to twitter this week to announce his intentions to respond to questions about what appears to be his campaign website. his tweet insisting that this is not a joke, which many still believe it is. now, we put potentially what this may be aside. senator elizabeth warren responded to the announcement in an e-mail to her supporters saying, well, maybe this is all a joke but we all thought donald trump was joking when he rode down the escalator at trump tower and announced his campaign too. the white house under fire perhaps from fox news?

3:39 am
trouble, according to prison officials and records, the former football star is expected to score a mere 2 or 3 out of 12 points and another coup for simpson? the victim of the armed robbery in a las vegas hotel room he'll testify for simpson. memorabilia dealer has repeatedly told me he will travel to the love lock prison so he can see simpson face-to-face and then tell the parole board he thinks the former football star did too much time for the crime and worth reminding the 1994 slayings of simpson's ex-wife nicole and friend ron goldman will not be considered at that parole hearing. he was acquitted in those murders. the drama will ramp up when simpson, himself, tries to convince the parole board he deserves freedom. in a past hearing, simpson described himself as a model inmate who is a prison diplomat
3:40 am
of sorts. the board will watch via questions from carson city and come up with a decision that day. if simpson is denied parole, the commissioners would sit a rehearing date from one to three years out. if simpson is freed he would not get out of prison until early october. where would he go? his friend says the west coast of florida is a likely destination and that is where simpson's adult children live. >> did simpson's murder trial at play in this sentencing? joining us is joey jackson. good morning to you. >> good morning, victor. >> reporter: we had an interesting tease coming into this block of the show that you believe he will be released in early october by this parole board without question. why? >> i do believe that. and i think if the parole board is acting in good faith that
3:41 am
there is no reason to believe why they would not be acting that way, i think he is sprung loose. and there is a basis for that. now, you know, when you look at and examine the underlying offense, i don't think there is anyone within reason who would say based upon what o.j. simpson did, you know, look. he break into a hotel room, he gets and retrieves his own sports memorabilia. he did it, yes. they had guns allegedly with them. well, i won't say allegedly. he was convicted with it and he takes his own equipment back. did people really believe he was going to execute or injure someone there? was it a crime of stupidity? absolutely. was it a crime of arrogance? without question. was it technical a crime under the law? it was. but do you deserve nine to 33 year for doing that? when you have -- the person, the very victim that says you know what? mr. madam d.a., it's worth one to three years and he gets sentenced to 9 to 33 is telling
3:42 am
wns itself. i think ultimately, if the board acts with good faith and taking into consideration punishment and reterrance and rehabilitation, o.j. simpson will be loose. >> you know, joey, people going back to the first o.j. trial, the murder trial, believe that in this case, o.j. got what he deserved after his acquittal in the other case. they are not and should not be connected. but do you believe that this nine to 33 years sentence is any residual or has any readal impact from the earlier case? >> well, let me say this, victor. i believe in our system of justice, okay? as an officer of the court having an a prosecutor and now a defense attorney, i have to put my faith in that system. that is the system that we have no matter what state you're in, it's designed and democratic and we have jurors and we have to believe in it. having said that, it's hard to imagine the sentence that was
3:43 am
imposed here was not in any wsoe retribution or payback what he did. everyone has an opinion on o.j. simpson, did he do it? did he didn't do it? a real killer out there? missouri say he did it and he got away from if he had johnny cochran, smooth man and he had a dream team. should that have factored in to the issues that occurred in this case, the answers resoundingly is no. cases have to be about what they are about. any crime that you're allegedly -- that you allegedly committed, the jury has to weigh and evaluate what you did here. i'm not suggesting the jury did anything but that because technically the elements of the crime were met. when you good into the room saen ano one leaves it is kidnapping. when you have guns and you use them and put them in fear you're guilty. a sentence of 9 to 33 years based upon a crime of stupidity? it's hard to imagine that that
3:44 am
didn't have anything to do with retribution and payback. i do believe that. i also believe that this board will base their decision not about that, all right? not about that crime, but about this crime and if they do, and they factor in the conditions that they need to, the safety of the community, will he be a defender and come back or get out there and live his life in peace in 70? i think we will see "the juice" victor, being sprung loose. >> we will be watching, joey jackson. thanks. >> you know that is coming back this week "the juice" is going to be sprung loose. joey jackson a good one for comment there. the scientists say new evidence that nearly one-third of animal species are disappearing from earth. we are going to talk about that. stay close. when i received the diagnoses,

scientists say it is clear earth is entering its sixth mass extinction event. >> it means three-quarters of all species could disappear in the coming centuries. >> all around the world, from the savannahs of africa to remote islands in the pacific there is a mass extinction brewing. >> start counting. >> reporter: spe expertise are vanishing ruffle 100 times the normal rate. if current trend continue, africa he will banelephants co h extinct in as few as 20 years. in all, biologists here the unthinkable. three-quarters of all known species could disappear in a couple of centuries. we have never seen anything like this in all of earth's history, there have only been five massive extinctions one that killed the dinosaurs.
3:50 am
now the biologists say we are on the verge of the sixth. what are we doing to cause this and is it too late to stop? >> that is the key question. john sutter, whose voice you heard in that report. are we causing this? >> reporter: it's clear that humans are causing this and a few factors. one of them is climate change. the way on we produce our energy by burning fossil fuels and other elephants and rhinos and giraffes and body parts sold on the black market and causing the species to crash. it's how we use land all around the world as odd as that sounds. 40% of the land surface of the surface has been converted into agriculture and into farms and leaves no room for the species to flourish. a new report came out last week not looking at the number of
3:51 am
species gotten extinct but the number of creatures around the world and the massive numbers of decline and the extinction event we are seeing the beginning of is worse than scientists had thought previously. >> what can be done to prevent it or slow it? because, i mean, we need farms to feed the world's population, right? what can be done to avoid this mass extinction or some of it? >> reporter: we depend on the natural systems and depend on a lot of these creatures so i think their fate is tied to ours. looking at the key problems is change the way we produce energy is one big part of it. switching to renewable sources like solar and wind as opposed to fossil fuels like coal and oil and scientists say that shift need to be more dramatic than most people realize. the paris agreement on climate change calls for the world basically to be carbon neutral about mid century and that means
3:52 am
no more fossil fuel and not just a little bit less. it is changing the way we use the land. people do need land to grow food. but are there way we can do that more efficiently and can we choose the locations in a way that allows biological system to still function? what is hard about this problem it's truly global and truly bait into the way that we live. and the way we consume resources. it's a tricky one to solve. >> what is the most endangered species on and how would that one extinction affect all of us globally? >> so interestingly, this paper that came out last week highlighted a couple of species that probably no one has heard of or gone extinct the past few years. one was a bat on an island off of australia and another was a species that was in mexico, a type of fish. and i think that what these scientists are saying that this
3:53 am
is almost the wrong way of thinking about the problems in terms of which species are completely disappeared. these are on which odd creatures in one location and don't have a big population so they are extremely vulnerable but when you step back and look at very common species like elephants like we saw in that video, those populations have declined enormously when you look in the big picture and if the trends, with poaching continue, you know, we could be looking at africa elephants being gone within 20 years. i think 400,000 elephants in africa right now so not like two are left but trends are alarming. >> there are people doing preservation work but, obviously, not enough to turn the tide on what we are seeing, unfortunately. >> thank you, john. good information. >> you can watch the full documentary, john's full documentary "vanishing six mass extinction" on cnn.com. we could be history on

you want to see some history today? it could happen at wimbledon. >> roger federer is going for an eighth win at wimbledon today. robbie uba is live at wimbledon. this will not be a cake walk. >> reporter: you're exactly right, victor. it's not going to be a cake walk. the match is starting over two hours' time. he is playing someone called marin c cilic. he has beat federer at the u.s. open in new york in 2014. last year when they met in wimbledon in the quarterfinals he had three match points on federer before federer rallied to win that in five sets. it's not a wake walk as you mentioned, victor. i think a hotly contested match. >> federer is 36 next month.

how is he still able to play at this level? 36 anisn't old! but for tennis singles, it is. >> it is. number one, he is such a tremendous player when you think about the greats of the game he is arguably the best of all time. number two he has been very smart with his scheduling. he has taken little break throughout the season, throughout his career. last year, he made a very tough call for himself. after wimbledon, ed i'm not going to play for the rest of the season. i have to recover from a knee injury so he took a six-month break and came back and won the australia open in 2017 and ended a four and a half year break and he didn't play the french open so that is how he is able to do it. >> ravi ubha in wimbledon, thank
