in legos. that's on washington's famous monument. the shape of a gigantic american flag. visitors at the mall putting it together. >> happy fourth of july to all! >> happy fourth. "outnumbered" starts now. >> a big "outnumbered"! happy fourth of july to you. i'm harris faulkner. co-host of after the bell on fox business, melissa francis. fox news contributor, katie pavlich. fox news analyst, marie hart is here. happy fourth. >> happy fourth. >> did you polish your nails the

colors of "outnumbered"? >> i didn't but it works for that. >> works perfectly. >> just like our logo. yeah. >> the answer was yes. >> really surprising. but they work for "outnumbered." >> melissa has her pride bracelet on. >> very nice. >> and you're getting married soon. we better get most out of you. >> i'll be done. i brought my american pride socks. >> of course you did. >> president trump is ramping up his campaign efforts for gop candidates. he's been talking them up at rallies recently and looks like it's paying off. primary voters choosing henry c mcmastner the primary run off. watch. >> the thing with henry, you don't know it. he does it in an elegant manner. i want to thank dean heller, an incredible senator. worked so hard to get the taxes cut.

>> meanwhile, a gallup poll shows republicans approval of the president during the first two weeks of june at 90%. the highest since the week of his state of the union address. the polling was done before the recent immigration controversy. "the new york times" points out in a recent piece, this era of tumult has left democrats energized to win back congress. their intensity has been reflected by strong turnouts. still, in just the last 1 1/2 years, mr. trump has bounced back from crises that at the time seems as if they might be too much to recover from politically. i might want to encourage them to call him president trump. just me. >> yeah. a lot of this is driven by his enemies. the never trumpers and #resistance folks. the more energized they get even with this immigration fight, if they turn that energy into

mobbing people in public or threatening a new bombing campaign like in the 70s as one magazine recently did, that's the thing that turns a lot of americans off. this is the country throughout history has not been too far from political violence and had a lot of periods of political violence. >> like the congressional baseball game. >> and the gabby gifford shooting. >> that wasn't political. that was just crazy. >> and i said the congressional baseball game because i meant it. that was, as we know, political and so short time ago. >> you'd think that a big tragic event would make americans against trump calm down the rhetoric. at least for more than two or three weeks. after that congressional baseball shooting, things calmed down about a month. seemed to be normal. now everything is ratcheted back up. that's what drives the president's approval rating to be higher than any republican than bush after 9-11.

>> we get caught up in the rhetoric. we do it every day. for regular people, they don't have the time. they're paying mortgages and getting kids to school. they've seen lower taxes and the economy expand and promises kept and movement in north korea and there are what i call trumped deniers. i'm going to trademark that. these are people that look at the results and they deny the existence of any positive outcome related to president trump because they hit him so much because of his rhetoric or because of what he says. they deny he could bring somebody back to life using cpr and say no, that person is still dead. they're trump deniers. >> to get us back to the point where democrats are after that stunning loss last night, stunning, by a young woman that barely was founded, 28 years old. people she was not on anybody's radar necessarily outside the state. and which she won. a democrat who we've had on "outnumbered overtime" many times, he's been around forever.

he thought he would be the next house speaker for the democrats. joe crowley. what happened? >> i wanted him to be the next speaker. before i get to joe crowley, let's talk about the gallup possible. the president for independents is 38%. the republican numbers are high. you can't win elections just with the base. >> not just the base. 90% of republicans goes beyond the base. >> the independent numbers are low. we'll be watching that number as we get closer to the mid-terms. when it comes to joe crowley, you see a fight between generations. i wanted joe crowley to be the next speaker. he took his speaker for granted. didn't show up to two debates with her. this happened to eric cantor when sometimes when you look at national ambitions, you forget the race in front of you. so this is really indicative of joe crowley running a bad

campaign and his district being far to the left. >> the reason i bring that up, when you talk about the never trumpers, the anti-trump movement, whatever, there's a movement apparently within the democrat party that we're seeing that they're split not on a message of whether they're against the president or whether they should focus on being against the president. what are their real priorities. >> that's the question of how much the resistance is helping the people on the ground. we had this young woman in queens upset the democrat establishment. we've seen the party go to the left. you look at their platform, it was based on local needs in the community she's working. free medicare, free housing won't work for every congressman across the board and certainly not going to work for the democratic party across the board, especially when you're trying to regain trump voters that voted nor barack obama. i'm going to get back to the approval ratings for president trump.

the 90% republican number is higher than it was on election day. he was 83% republican support when he won in november. that was pretty high. so he's gained support among republicans for a couple of reasons. the first is i think they're getting to know his style a little bit. style some people that are off put about the attitude and the way that sometimes he handles things. but they understand how he operates now. the other is that he's getting results. it's a matter of packing the judiciary with conservative judges. deregulation. businesses across the country can breathe and hire and of course the economy is better than it's been in a generation, which automatically means republicans are going to be happy with him. independents, when it comes to election day, the approval rating isn't so high right now but after labor day is when people pay attention to what's going on and how individual candidates affect their lives at home. >> as we count down to the mid-terms, republicans may be

finding themselves in facing voter backlash over obamacare. politco is reporting that obamacare premiums are expected to rise by double digits next year and that's giving republicans heartburn. polling data has consistently suggested that more voters will blame republicans for future problems with obamacare. in addition, the gop's repeated failures to repeal obamacare after eight years of campaign promises will make it difficult to galvanize the base on healthcare. republicans scoff at the fact that they're to blame for obamacare. they say the great hikes were because of the exchange rates before they took control of the government. chris, it was their job to fix it. that's what they said, they would fix it if they were given the chance and they didn't. >> we all talk about that at the time. that if republicans -- republicans campaigned for years and years on repeal obamacare.

they were correct in saying obamacare caused rate hikes. every time the get gets involved in this messed up system in our country where we have great healthcare and a terrible insurance market, which is all this is. every time the government gets more involved, it makes it worse. the republicans put their stamp on it getting rid of the mandate. they need a couple senators from alaska and maine to say we're going to work on this. we're going to try to fix this. rights now consumers are going to blame them. >> i would interject with republicans actually coming clean about the fact that they have gotten us to a place where the program is not funded. they really have to come up with a way to generate cash. maybe they go to these insurance companies. i know that putting pressure on companies is not a very capitalistic way to do things, but you've taken away the basis for paying for the program and now you have another enrollment period in a short few months and you have people having babies

and diseases that need treatment. you have the same issues that existed when it was broken under democrats. now it's broken under republicans and you talk about bringing democrats to the table, that will take strong republicans, maybe something like, you know, a mitt romney if he gets in there in the senate to -- >> he will. >> yeah. >> and it's going to -- you're going to need those people to come forth now and say how can we do this and politically balance it. i don't see that happening. republicans own it. >> that's right. this is the problem with failing to totally repeal and replace with something else and tinkering with the individual mandate. i know republicans -- >> we all need healthcare. that's why we agree. >> republicans in congress are legitimately nervous about this. >> the problem with the individual mandate, they informationed people that didn't want healthcare to purchase it. >> that's fine. but you have to replace

temperature program with something. >> not necessarily. >> it's not funded right now. >> before obamacare, we weren't forcing people that didn't want or couldn't afford healthcare. >> agreed. >> now you're saying we have to fund something that wasn't funding before -- >> it was broken before. >> because we weren't talking money from people that didn't want the health insurance. >> the same thing. it was broken then and broken now. the different is you have a majority party in both houses. >> yeah. the differences is you're not forcing people that couldn't afford health insurance on their own and you're not forcing people to buy a product they didn't want in the first place. >> they didn't fix the problem, which is that there is no visibility in the pricing. you go to the hospital, you go to the doctor. they say that was a $4,000 test you just had. no one paid $4,000. the system is a mess and somebody has to fix it. >> it's not like free market. the insurance companies lobbied for obamacare, for every government subsidy they could get.

the politicians should stop listening to them. >> real quickly, the reason why republicans should fix it, katie, is because they legitimately believe that we can take it with us. >> they have a big problem, for sure. >> they have to work. >> absolutely. >> a recent poll highlighting economic accomplishments under president trump, whether the record-setting numbers could be a winning issue for republican candidates come november or even the president himself in 2020. plus, a new study may make you want to spend less time with your smart phone when you're with your kids. can you do it? it's a challenge. we'll tell you why researchers say you should. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. so he took aleve this morning. hey dad. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now.

>> i think we're now at the most successful level that the country has ever seen. that's how we're doing. let me just tell you -- because i hear a couple of the fakers the other day say, i think it's obama's economy. obama? they would have put on more regulations, they want to take back your tax cuts, which are massive, they want to take them

back and they want to raise the hell out of your taxes and the whole thing will go boom. >> president trump touting economic growth under his administration in minnesota. a new poll showing a majority americans agree with the commander-in-chief, that he deserves credit for the progress. the cnbc survey finding 51% approve of the president's handling of the economy and a record-breaking 54% say the u.s. economy is excellent or good. the president retweeting this post from his son, eric, boasting about the news. 51% of the people think the economy is excellent. this is the highest number cnbc has ever recorded. mr. bedford, the question going into the mid-terms, will president trump's approval bring republicans over the finish line or is it a problem considering he has 51% approval on the economy, looks good. >> yeah. going to depend what state you're in. if you're a republican in

connecticut, then the fervor of democrats might make it difficult to win. president trump is different from so many other past republican presidents who have terrible approval ratings after two years. he's actually done everything he said he was going to do or tried to. whether it's tackling trade, deregulating, cutting taxes, trying to talk to north korea, the iran deal, pulling us out of harris. he has accomplishments that he could have hit and technically full employment right now. the last couple years, i've known folks in good economies like massachusetts that have not found a job that are now working full time, bringing home money, proud. that's a great feeling. inspires optimism. >> marie? >> here's the challenge. if you're a soy bean farmer in iowa, you're watching this news carefully and looking at tariffs. the economic news has been good.

if the president following through with the toughest tar f tariffs -- we're seeing it hit. harley-davidson looking overseas. if they move forward and american businesses are hurt that will negate some of the tax renorm benefits that people have gotten and hurt politically. the president needs to be told that. this really affects him in some states he cares about. missouri, iowa, all across the south. >> the republicans -- >> president trump is pushing forward with it. >> then why? >> i'll tell you why. >> they're hurting his voters. >> this is how you negotiate. we've rolled over and played dead on the tariff deals forever. we've gotten completely hosed. so he knows since he's a negotiator and anybody in business knows you have to have leverage for negotiation. he said i will respond with tariffs. we'll see if it works.

i happen to believe that it will. you know when you go in and you go to buy a car or a house, you say listen, i'm willing to walk away from the table. i don't need that house. i don't need that car. that's the only way you have leverage and credibility. he will said i'll take the tariffs in order to get them to back down. we'll see if it works. i think that strength works versus we've had weak-kneed, you know -- >> what the if it doesn't work? >> weak-kneed doesn't work. we'll see if this works. >> and can i use the metaphor fervor for a second. you talked about buying a house. you're talking all of that away. you're not just saying i'm going to walk away but you're taking your down payment cash and all of that back, too, which hurts them because they can't do business in the same way. by the way, on some goods, china has as much as 200% in tariffs against goods. many of these countries --

>> you're hurting american workers. soy bean prices are plummeting. they're making less money because of tariffs anyway. the steel industry is hurting already because of trump's tariffs. >> president trump's base has been very secure. farmers in iowa are part of his base. are they going to be willing to ride it out because they do things by the year, not by the term. >> so far they have been. >> that's the question. >> the iowa gop is across the board supporting president trump. i think the phrase i saw in the news, they're going to ride the tiger. they give him the credit, actually. >> the tiger. >> see if he wins. >> see how long it lasts. >> that's what it comes down to. are you willing to bet with the president. do you look at the results that he got and say i'm willing to gamble with this person that is slowing strength as opposed to weakness. we'll see how long it takes. >> when it affects your pocketbook, it's different.

>> and democrats are abandoning nancy pelosi ahead of the mid-terms. can the democrats replace her as their leader? and corey booker getting 2020 buzz. the moves he's making that shows that he could be thinking about it and whether he's the answer for the democrats. this is your wake-up call. if you have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, month after month, the clock is ticking on irreversible joint damage. ongoing pain and stiffness are signs of joint erosion. humira can help stop the clock. prescribed for 15 years, humira targets and blocks a source of inflammation that contributes to joint pain and irreversible damage. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions,

>> what we saw in western p.a., we won in a district that was a 20-point trump district. when he showed some independence with regard to who he was going to vote for for house leadership, that is a signal to a lot of people around the country that you are an independent-minded human being. a independent-minded candidate. that is very valuable today. >> that's moderate democrat tim ryan. he challenged, you may remember, nancy pelosi for house minority

leader two years ago and lost big time. he says democrats need to keep thinking about fresh leadership. a growing number of democrats are saying they will not back pelosi for speaker if they win the house this fall. one of those democrats is clark tucker in a deep red arkansas who declares he won't vote for the liberal democrat in his first ad for the general election. a polster tells politco with very few exceptions, the biggest hurdle for democratic candidates is nancy pelosi -- there she is on the big wall -- and the strongest card the republicans can play is attach ago candidate to nancy pelosi. meanwhile, it's not just house races where pelosi could be a drag. check out this ad from the hot senate race in florida. >> nancy pelosi is a huge influence on the democratic party and bill nelson. >> i voted for bill nelson before but i think it's time for somebody new.

>> i believe bill nelson is too partisan. >> some are saying it's too early to count out a savvy lawmaker like nancy pelosi and denouncing her during a campaign might not translate to votes against her. politco wrote this. nancy pelosi predicted she would easily win the caucus votes paving the way for most democrats to publicly support her in a house vote. this after last week's stunning defeat of new york congressman joe crowley. the number 4 democrat in the house. huge pelosi ally and seen as a possible heir apparent to her leadership. not just seen as that, he was telling people that. i'm going to be the next house speaker. what does this mean, this push against nancy pelosi? >> i think it's clearly time for new leadership in the democratic party in the house. i think nancy pelosi is a historic figure. she's done so much for the party in terms of keeping the caucus

together. the republicans are looking for new leadership. there's new young democrats on the house side that should step up and take the mantel. people like seth molton. there's people that are looking at congress today, willing to work with republicans if it makes sense and represent the principles of the democratic party. i think she will face a serious leadership challenge and she will probably not be speaker if the democrats win. >> i said in that question from politco that they're looking for -- it wasn't the word "qualified" but it was like that. tim ryan, qualified candidate. >> he can't win. >> remember when she got bum-rushed at the podium for daca? all talk, no action with some of what they were yelling at her. >> pelosi has unified the

democrats but shells like charles de gaulle unifying in london. >> he was hiding. >> when france was in trouble. >> and then they gave him the airport. >> it's not just about age. now they lost the number 4. the leaders are 78, 77, 79. that's not good. the number 4 loss to a radical, a democratic socialist. someone saying federal jobs for all. does biden have a shot in a place like that? maybe not. >> and then whether or not we're pitching to, i guess you could say, maybe not french but the more radical on both sides of the political aisle. >> the left has shifted more left than the right has shifted more right. even obama said we're going to shift the wealth around, change

the wealth around during the 2008 campaign. that was a big deal that he would say that. now the democrats are openly electing socialist candidates. >> in a liberal district. >> correct. that's the problem with democrats as a whole. they're far left on a national level as well and that it won't be helpful when it comes to 2020. when it comes to nancy pelosi, it's about money. people will vote for her because she raise as lot of money for candidates. >> that is a problem. >> but the idea that she is again saying she wants to run for speaker says it all. it's to the republican detriment not to be fostering new talent because you can't be around forever. >> amen. >> real quickly, nancy pelosi's approval rating hit 29% among democrats recently what do you make of that? >> 29 overall. 55 among democrats. when you look at president trump, 90% among republicans.

we read national things into these districts. but in terms of electing a new speaker or i'm sorry, a new party leader or speakfer they get the majority, what type of democrat do you think the body would elect? is it's one of these more left candidates that is younger, has energy but happens to be pretty left in the party or somebody that is more moderate? who would get the votes among those elected officials in the house? >> a great question. it needs to be someone younger, the next generation that can work with both parties of the party. seth molton, a veteran and sherry bustos. those are people that get the left wing of the party but not beholden to it. it's a good question. it will be fascinating to watch. >> it will. >> somebody young. that's interesting. >> we'll see. while the mid-terms are front and center, democrats should be thinking long and hard on what

they will put up against the president in 2020. corey booker is getting some attention. cnn reports that it's his travel outside the corridor coupled with a series of legislative roll-outs in the senate that is drawing the most attention from democratic insiders and political observers that view his frenetic mid-term schedule as a wing and not entry to the 2020 presidential primary. booker himself tells cnn "i'm not going to play coy. i'm sure i'll give it a look. right now, my focus is 2018." so there's a lot of names on this democratic side. everybody from joe biden to elizabeth warren and everybody in between. corey booker is well-respected and tried to walk the line between moderate and left wing. what do you make of him? >> from people that have worked directly with him have told me that he's lazy about preparing

for -- yeah, i know. they worked with him and said, he doesn't prepare when they go out to speak with people. he doesn't like to put in the hard work or put in the extra days. i mean, maybe that changes when he's looking for a higher office. i think that he's somebody that it seemed like could cross a lot of different areas. it's a cult of personality type of thing. people have to fall in love with the person and it matters less really what they stand for necessarily. you start to believe in what they stand for. look at bernie sanders. i still think he has so much pull. >> look at trump. >> exactly. >> and that's why -- both of those are excellent examples why it's not just generational. it's about message and the messenger and the energy of that messenger being able to say, i believe in this and i'm going to believe in this until i can't talk anymore. that's what you have with both

of those people you just mentioned. i stood next to bernie sanders on the convention floor as they brought hillary clinton across the stage. he looked like the straight line emoji. he was not smiles. >> i was going to quickly say, in terms of where we are with the electorate, it matters as well. you're putting up candidates that actually have to get people to do something that they don't normally do, vote. we don't have a high percentage of voting in this country. >> that is true. absolutely true. i was going to ask you has a conservative, who are republicans most scared to face? >> i think joe biden. after the defeats of more moderate people that can reach out to working class voters, laziness played a part in that, joe biden's path is getting more and more narrow. you have guys like corey booker. if you watch the senate confirmation hearings, he's front and center of people that have christian beliefs and ideas. how well do that play?

you contrast that to his defense of islamic refugees coming over to the united states, his attack on christians that live here -- >> are you insinuating something about religion? >> yeah. he's an anti christian person calling out people's beliefs. >> that's a strong accusation. >> it's true. >> i agree with him. i agree. during his -- during secretary pompeo's hearing, he went after him and his christian beliefs. he's regularly gone after christians for openly practicing their faith that is a national issue. when it comes to corey booker making substantive arguments, he says it's ridiculous, it's absurd, trump is out of control. i rarely hear substance when it comes to plans he has and policies. he's green when it comes to being in the senate. my big question is whether he will telltales of his good friends on the presidential campaign trail as he did when he

ran for senate. >> my prediction is he's not going to be the nominee. i'm going on record saying that right now. >> i think you're right. >> while we continue watching this, there's growing concerns about chinese spying on the campuses of american colleges and universities. how big the threat is and what action should be taken to protect sensitive technology. and our country's birthday, it's time to reflect just what makes the u.s.a. so great in addition to the ice cream, of course. no matter who rides point, there are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. call one today. are you in good hands? ...to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you don't.

>> an eye opening study that says parents that are on smart phones and other digital devices a lot during family time may be having a negative impact in the way kids behave. the study in the journal of pediatric research. finds that parents that use their smart phones to escape the stress of dealing with a child could have a lasting impact on their children's behavior leading to more hyperactivity and whining. some of the findings conclude that parents have fewer conversations with their kids, give less emotional support to kids and give less positive feedback. this leads to kids having tantrums, sulking and acting out over time. yet another thing to be feel guilty about. >> we don't do the vices during the week unless it's for school assignment. it doesn't happen at meals. on the weekends, they get an hour a day and they choose not to do it at the table.

have a fur child. a 3-year-old english labrador. when i'm on the phone or texting, he barks as me because i'm ignoring him. he will come in and growl and leave that one and get another one. he wants me to pay attention. i don't have human children but i have a dog that gets upset when i ignore him. >> i get up and go to the lady's room or go in a different room. >> kids get enough positive enforcement in america. they can use more negative enforcement. i'm not raising you like veal. this is obvious that parents teach their children manners. when i meet with adults and eat with their hands or gross in public or on the cell phone, where the heck was your mom and dad or whoever was raising them, trying to bring down manners on you. the cell phone is the same. >> you're going to be a great father. glad you're getting married soon. >> and people have like baskets in your living room or something

ours are not turned on unless you're near wi fi. they can only text and that. that's interesting. so they don't have the devices yet. >> they don't. but that's only -- i can only resist that for so long. i know it becomes something where if they're going to be out and you want them to talk to you -- our camps are technology-free as well. >> wow. >> but they have ipads and they use them in the living room. i strip them away. >> you and i are the only ones with children. we'll be the pros. >> yeah. >> and fourth of july. let's get everybody's take on the biggest reason they think america is great. go to twitter, go to facebook, look for "outnumbered" real quick. want to go around the couch. melissa? >> yeah. the passing of the great charles krauthammer caused me to look back at the things that said that were meaningful. there were so many in there. one is that we are the only
