they had been bailing on the stock since cambridge analytical spoke. clearly they know it was could get worse. we have the confirmation. the sales growth is get a decline. i think this is troubling for facebook. the one saving grace is that they somehow managed to get every human that owns a device onto the platform so they offer advertisers a scale that they can't replace anywhere else. they will be able to turn it around to keep advertisers attention into really regain the trust of users. i think that is first and foremost read necessary.ç the second quarter economic growth data will be released this morning.

that's why sunscreen and other safety measures are key to protecting your skin from aging and cancer. the fda recommends using a sunscreen with a sun protection factor, or spf, of 15 or higher. also look for broad spectrum on the label. that means both harmful ultraviolet a and b rays are blocked. uva rays age the skin. uvb rays burn, and both cause cancer. but the perfect sunscreen doesn't count if you use it wrong. don't need sunscreen on a cloudy day? wrong! 80% of uv rays still get through the haze. only use sunscreen at the beach? nope! anytime you're outside, uv rays attack the skin so you need protection. and you have to reapply sunscreen every two hours. remember: spf plus broad spectrum equal healthy fun in the sun. visit www.fda.gov/sunscreen for more information. a message from the us food and drug administration.

>> we made it. we made it to friday. it was questionable there for a while. but a lot going on today. in particular in politics. the house gop battle is heating up. jim jordan decides to run for house speaker. he is now the first was public and to challenge house house majority leader kevin mccarthy. joining us now the former white house deputy brad blakeman. let's start right with jim jordan. here'j cleared his candidacy. congress is not held up its end of the deal. we can change that. it is it is time to do what we said we would do and of course jordan is an interesting fellow here. he has played an important role for the right side of the equation. he is a a cofounder of that conservative group. the house freedom caucus. he saw impeachment.

so tell me brad. is this a guy who can unite the party. he is certainly a guy as a leader within the party. whether he can unite the republican caucus in the house is another story. one thing is for sure. we have a deep bench of leaders in the house. the fact of the matter is everything and politics in washington comes down to math. will he have the numbers and remember the freedom caucus is a minority within them and geordie.c i believe that the majority leader probably has the vast majority of support within the caucus. steve scalise has endorsed mccarthy. very tough for him to succeed the speaker. speaker. but having said that. i said the fact that he's running he is running gives him tremendous capital within the caucus.

already the democrats are lining up in opposition they are talking about an incident from jordan's path. as a coach for the wrestling team there. the dr. for that team. he was accused of sexually harassing students there. or is it has very conservative republican rates and what he has been doing in terms of policy. i would agree with jim jordan. the republican majority in congress has fell short on the promises. he says that consistently.ç whether it comes to budget or spending. the republican majority has let the republican base down. i do think it's unfair that he is been similar scandal to the former republican speaker denny hazard who actually have a sexual abuse scandal.

you can't say that they are the same thing. and of course we really don't have all of that details. >> lets flip to the other side of the equation. i think and then the presidp't and standing behind him. him. the challenge that he faces is that having advocates like the president really doesn't go along way a long way because the president has his own scandals. we are talking about the leadership of the house so let's move on.

i'm just saying that he should not be linked with that. i want to take a look though and sound and again were talking about leadership in congress. nancy pelosi was a very controversial words about september 11. i want you to hear. when we have the incident and the commission was formed and they made their recommendations they made recommendations to protect america. if you want it changed if you change the policy. september 11 is an incident.ç would this impact her viability at all. how is she keeping on when she's constantly saying things like this. i take great offense at her analogy with september 11. i served in the white house.

i was the only white house staff to lose a family member my hero nephew died saving people in the world trading center. i'm sick and tired of democrats using and abusing in the memories of the past or whether it is analogy to september 11 as an incident. this is incident. this is beyond the pale. if democrats want to tie their futures to has been like pelosi who has taken the democrats in the gutter. i remember a time if you call it a socialist. you were defaming them. today they get angry if you don't label them as that. the party is way beyond the bail. >> we are practically out of time.ç she is the first woman to lead as the speaker of the house. i grew up in new york.

she was talking about a policy thing. she said we should follow the 911 commission. but commission. but as we talk about the speaker. i think it's a very important speaker's race. all of these races are very important. we will have to leave it there we are at a time. thank you for being with us today. we need a police baton. they are going after twitter stayed is purposely kept some of them from appearing in search results. what the latest example of censorship is to the left. one of the republicans was headed for months from some curious usersç searching for him. the president has twitter account helps them get elected.

said it's not good. it will look into this discriminatory and illegal practice at once. many complaints. it is tweet from the president of the united states that conservative shadow band appears to have been fixed since may. it would crackdown on trolls contribute into an unhealthy dialogue. and they explained some troll -like behaviors were good and humorous. they distort and distract from that. particularly in communal areas. those search bar changes are known to have impacted any democrats. he claims he was shadow band also. the targeted censorship of conservative is not some fringe conspiracy theory.ç

it does not make judgments based on political views. myself, mark meadows. we are four of the strongest supporters. we had been very critical of the russian investigation. he didn't like his policies but it was live again 11 minutes later. the new accusations may be probes for months. so much talk about social media and washington has been about how russians had used it to interfere in the last election. but the alleged interference alleged today did not originate at the kremlin i came from california. >> make sure to stay with us when twitter reports. the earnings before the bell. coming up president trump hinting we could see second quarter economic growthç with a

i would've never even thought that. i've been saying we are going to do those very well. what is the real number. the president of the american action forum. doug, great to see you. this is kind of astonishing.ç they were actually talking about the number because the truth is he actually gets it in his hot little hand the night before. he probably knew what it was. are you surprised by that. >> it is at odds with tradition. he just said were expecting a big number. and everybody expects a big number. i don't think there's any question about that. it didn't shock me too terribly much. the wall street journal reported a consensus of 4.4 and it's even outliers out there who say 5% which is amazing to me. what are you

expecting on that top line but also as we dig it through this through this report what should we be looking at. i expected the top line to be in the low force. you see nerd heaven today. there are three things going on here. there are the tax cuts and the regulatory rollback. they think will help business investment.ç how much of it comes out of the business sector. it's really a a good source of growth. the tax cuts. the increase spending bill from earlier in the year. it will probably give you some short run stimulus in the economy. they are going to dig into the household sector. there is a third piece that is the fear of tariffs. we did see them buying and before the tariffs hit. that is a one-time effective that will juice the number. you'll had to just head that and it really drives the number.

it's can really be good. with the industrial purchases. i think that is playing a role here and that report today. i want you to hear the cheap trade negotiator what he have to say and comment. you're probably looking at having to have some kind of a that that the is not an unreasonable time frame if everybody wants to get it done. and so what he is talking about there is nafta so the deal between canada, mexico and the us. u.s. they are trying to get done superfast and my question for together. we are getting a deal with the eu. eu. will it put pressure on china. >> i think the nafta piece is very important. the president got a cease-fire with the europeans and that's good news. news.

from the point of the economic growth. growth. but he has yet to have a situation where his tactics had it delivered an agreement that lowers barriers to trade. that's a good test case. if it comes through in august you will see greater confidence in the strategy and greater patients with him pressuring the chinese then we will see how the chinese react. >> quick question now to just finish up. if we get a blot number.ç i think anything in the force as a blowout number. can it be repeated. >> i think that's i think that's why the business component is so important. that's not something that happens just for a quarter. you build the building and you fill it with factory goods. you hire goods. you hire people. that's what you're looking for. >> think you for your time today. today. i appreciate your thoughts. coming up in sports the new
