rob: summer time. nice hot weekend here in new york in the surrounding area and another hot one today, i think. good morning to you, you're watching "fox & friends first". i'm rob scmitt. heather: i'm heather childers, thank you so much for starting your day and your week was. president trump keeping his promise to make america great again fighting for american workers and their jobs. rob: that's right. the white house kicks make in america week highlights u.s. manufacturing. >> good monday morning, rob. promise made on all 50 states will be on displayed as the white house rolls out made in america week emphasizing in workers and manufacturing. the fallout from the russia controversy continues to roll out with the president's favorite target, fake media,

#fake news is distorting democracy in our country. hillary clinton can illegally get the questions in debate and delete 33,000 emails but my son don is being scorn by the media. the president's lawyer jake sekulow defending him. >> even on the basis as donald trump, jr. layed them out were not violations of the statute. when you talk about russian collusion, colluding to do what, collude to go violate what law? >> but top democrat on intelligence committee adam schiff he can't accept anything that the president said. >> first he said the meeting never happened and he admitted the meeting was on getting information for hillary clinton and so we can't accept anything on the, jr. says.

>> first event of made in america at the white house later today and continues on wednesday and finally on saturday, guys, the commissioning of the uss gerald ford and at 3:00 o'clock event we will see if the president takes neglect questions about any of this. rob: we would like to hear what he has to say about all of this. heather: that's why he was elected an why he was elected, i think, because he we wanted to make america great again. rob: that kind of view of this country and kind of focusing on who we are and what we want and not necessarily what the world wants, i think that really was his big push. i remember election night, blue states you started them seeing turn red that was a big moment in the country and really an indication that we had not been thinking about our people and it was so much so that it wasn't a political thing, it have these were manufacturers, people with blue-collar jobs and people in

the middle class that hadn't gotten any attention. heather: before he took over, he made good on some of the promises by bringing jobs back to america halting some jobs from being overseas. as you were discussing last week, a lot of what he has done as he has gone overseas is continue to talk about making america great and putting america first and he's reffed so much pushback from that. >> it's so funny that he gets so much grief about that mentality you look at all the other countries in the world, think all think about themselves first. we are the only ones that we are expect today think about everybody else before ourselves. heather: a point michael cavuto, former campaign manager had to say about it. >> i think they are doing it and i think they separated the crisis out into a unit, we saw that in previous presidencies, we have to get the wheels rolling so that it works well.

i can tell you the ceo's that i talk to are pleased with the agenda that the president is pursuing on regulatory reform, energy, he has been extremely on natural gas development and even exploring overseas. heather: it is working as you we were mentions and numbers that prove it. wall street journal nbc poll, he won in the 2016 election, 50% of people approve of the job that he's doing versus 46% disapprove. rob: not as strong as he would like or anybody else would like. the russia thing and the constant negative coverage is hurting him. media is never going to give him a break. latest revelations are certainly going to be difficult to get past, they need a big victory. they need to one on something like health care, tax breaking because at this point, it's all negative. heather: health care vote which

has been delayed again which we will talk about more and tell you why it's happening. rob: let's move onto another big story. congressional budget office will not be releasing revised score as planned today. heather: delaying their fight to repeal and replace obamacare as senator john mccain recovers from surgery. rob: patty anne brown. >> the highly anticipated cbo report on that senate revised health care bill was originally to be set unveiled today but the budget analysis has been delayed this as republicans generate enough votes to pass through the chamber. a number of republicans are still on the fence waiting for the score before pledging support. the budget office analysis of the initial senate bill had predicted that 22 million fewer americans would have health insurance coverage by 2026. but health and human secretary tom price say those numbers cannot be trusted.

>> cbo doesn't even capture those individual who is say to the federal government, i don't want the plan that you think i need, i want the plan that i know i need for myself and for my family. so those numbers are so flawed in terms of what actually happens in the real world. >> well, republican leaders are now setting their sights on the senators still holding out continuing their meetings over what changes could be made to win over the holdouts, kentucky senator rand paul, one of the most vocal opponents of the bill is warning republicans not to put their names on it just yet. >> this bill keeps most of the obamacare regulations and subsidies and create something that republicans that have never been for, giant bailout super fund. >> meanwhile majority leader mitch mcconnell has delayed the senate vote for at least a week as colleague and fellow

republican john mccain recovers from blood clot surgery, heather. heather: patty anne, thank you. in the meantime we have this to tell you, someone broke into republican senators office and left a threatening note. senator dean heller has been in the national spotlight and considered a possible swing vote on health care. well, heller reportedly on the fence of the gop's replacement plan, las vegas police are not giving any details so far on what that note specifically said. rob: president trump's travel ban once again under attack and heading to the supreme court. the state of hawaii has until tomorrow to respond to the motion filed by the white house that blocked latest ruling from hawaii. doj slamming court for overstepping bounds by expanding the list of family members of u.s. citizens allowed into the united states to now and include grandparents. heather: now fox news alert.

>> right, and this what we have seen for over the past 100 days, president trump has received the most hostile press coverage of any president in the the united states history and similar to what we saw with ivanka at the g20. we are seeing don, jr. being criticized. if it were any other person in this meeting with someone who happened to be russian and nothing came of the meeting, we wouldn't be having the conversation. heather: let's take a look at one of the other tweet that is came out from president trump and another tweet he said with all of the phoney unnamed sources and highly slanted and even fraudulent reporting #fake news is distorting democracy in our country, so zach, what do you think? you disagree. >> i'm not sure where the anonymous sources are here. the reason we know that donald trump, jr. lied about whether he had the meeting and the content of the meeting is because he himself released emails. we are reading the e-mail and we find out that not only he lied, president donald trump, vice

president mike pence lied when he said they didn't have communication with russian government. that's not true. and the reason we know that because donald trump, jr. released the emails. heather: there was anonymous source that released information to the new york times and "the new york times" contacted donald trump, jr., correct? >> it clearly weren't wrong and wasn't fake news because it was backed off by the real e-mail and that undermines the president's point. heather: he released the emails because he believed he had nothing to hide and what he claims he forgot about the meeting. >> right, the meeting had no significance. if this was a democrat, we wouldn't be having the conversation. the media is in the pocket of the democrats and we can look right to the study released by harvard in may showing that, let me quote this, trump has received unsparing coverage without single major topic where

trump's topic on balance was more positive than negative. you know, over 80% negative coverage of first 100 days and 96 on topics of immigration and personal background and unacceptable. heather: beyond all of this, zach, if you listen to jay, one of the president's attorneys boxer tom line is, what about was illegal in his opinion, nothing. >> well, first off, that's for the special counsel to decide not for the donald trump's lawyer to decide and i think there's plenty of evidence that suggests that this is larger pattern that could be something that is illegal but i would like to point out that it is not just the liberal media or mainstream media that's talking about how this meeting was bad for the trump administration, it's -- it's conservative columnist who is a fox news contribute -- who says if this is not only evidence of collusion but cannot be called fake news because donald trump, jr. released the e-mail. heather: yeah, i think a lot of

the concern conservative media and conservatives is that was left out in terms of information that the meeting actually happened to begin with, not that the meeting itself was illegal. thank you both for joining us, i appreciate it this morning. >> thank you. >> thanks. heather: rob. rob: all right, heather thanks. 5:55 in the east coast, friends in low places, amazing offer from garth brooks to a newly engaged couple. you'll love it. also aaron's party is officially over. a pop star you might know pulled over for drunk driving but apparently he says it's not his fault, he blames his fans wise man, i'm nervous about things i can't control... affecting my good credit score. i see you've planted an uncertainty tree. chop that thing down. the clarity you seek... lies within the creditwise app from capital one. creditwise helps you protect your credit.
