poilktsing to this letter in which they refused to comply saying the activities and activities predate flynn's white house service. press secretary sean spicer drew a hard line. >> right now to ask the white house to produce documents that were not in possession of the white house is ridiculous. >> reporter: flynn is one of several campaign representatives under scrutiny by the fbi which is looking into whether trump campaign officials were coordinating with the russians during the 2015 election. there are also two congressional panels looking into the matter as well. norah. >> all right. jeff, thank you so much. deadly storms dumped more than 8 inches of rain on the city of raleigh, the capital of north carolina. it caused some of the worst flooding since hurricane matthew. new flood warnings are in effect across the state. tony dokoupil is in the state. tony, good

canada. they announced it will add a tariff up to 24% on lumber, one of the biggest exports. that follows thea critical response. >> in canada some very unusual things happened to our dary farmers. canada has been very rough on the united states. everybody thinks of canada as being wonderful and so do i. i love canada. but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years. >> prime minister justin trudeau said canada won't back down. >> look. standing up for canada's interest is what my job is, whether it's soft wood or software. the media will like that. >> margaret brennan is at the white house. good morning. >> good morning. this type of tough trade talk is what helped president trump get elected but this latest

could turn neighbors into an outride dispute that could impact the home building industry. canada's pushed up a 24% duty on lumber. their prime minister told the president that his allegations of unfair subsidies are, quote, baseless. mr. trump also railed against canada's rail industry after it lowered things to put farmers as disadvantaged and leaves them with an oversupply of milk. mr. trudeau disputed that and said they already favor the u.s. since they buy $500 million of american dairy and sells us $100 million of their own product. so this dispute sets course of intense rounds of negotiations whenever those nafta talks begin. >> very interesting. margaret, thank you so much. a cbs news poll out this morning shows president trump's job approval rating is at historic lows. this comes as mr.

in on his first 100 days. 41% approve of the president's job performance. 53% disapprove. the president also gives clues as to why his approval rating is so low. cbs news elections director anthony salvanto is here. anthony, good morning. >> good morning. >> smartest political guy i know. he knows the numbers. let's talk about this because president obama at this same milestone was at 68% approval. george w. bush was at 66% approval. why the low numbers for president trump? >> it's partisanship. we have not seen and we've been doing the polls for presidents. partisan splits as big as the one we see now. president obama and bush before him would get about a third from the opposing parties approving of their job performance but donald trump has 10% of democrats approving of him, and so you have to no the context. it's a big part of why the

republicans love them but everybody else is keeping their distance. >> doesn't it show he would get more popular votes than hillary clinton toon and she would be factored into that should the election run again. >> his supporters are entirely with him in our polling and polling across board. they have told us this is roy we voted for in washington. they like the aproes. his base and supporters are still rock solid and think oar not disappointed in least, even if he's not made as much progress as he'd like. they say it's a process. >> these shift over the course of the presidency, and yet are we seeing something dirjts with the president? are we expecting to pull democrats to his side of the aisle or vice versa? >> most americans say it's too soon to judge, which sometimes washington doesn't think the same way americans think. but the folks who say we've seen gh

i say they feel emotionally scared. so to that extent, they don't feel like he's reached out, given them anything to latch onto. >> but tax reform and infrastructure will give them an opportunity to reap out to democrats. >> it might. 00 days doesn't predikd the future. we have seen presidents go up and down over the course of their terms this big swings, so 00 days may be historically low now, but we would expect movement. >> by now obama had signed the stim laws and equal pay acts. if he gets a legislative vingtry, to we see numbers bump up a bit? >> yeah. we might. even people who say they support him and want everything he's doing say he should work with congress, cut deals. remember the big picture. bun of the reasons they backed him wasn't just to change washington but they saw him as a deal maker, but they also know

it doesn't necessarily take 100 days and that's what they tell us. if he makes those deals, yes, that's delivering on a big themed progress. >> thank you. >> good to have you here. >> thanks. >> john dickerson will interview donald trump. that interview will debut sunday on "face the nation." serena williams sat down with our own gayle king to talk about her exciting baby news and the future of her career. >> have you thought, am i koomg going to have a baby? >> how she

we found out there are patterns you can study. i don't know about you but i go to a lot of networking convenience and the questions everyone asks, what do you do and how are you. and we found we actually ask people to rate conversation starters an look at quality of conversations. we found those were the lowest raernging conversation startes.s what work as lot better, sparkers, ask people to think about all the exciting things. have you worked on anything exciting recently or what was the high light of your day. in a way you're asking for brain to look for hits an not misses which is more dopamine-producing. >> charlie and know rah know how to do this because they're pro. what's the best way to work a room. >> when i got to ee vechts i thought where do i stand, who do i talk to. we analyzed, set up cameras and followed people's foot patterns and we found super connectors, those really -- they really know how to do it stand in a specific spot and have networking
