i'm going to lee carter right now because she's been polling people, and my question to you, lee, isour poll results, have you seen whether or not the comey situation and the circus and the russia collusion allegations, are they, in fact, in people's view causing a breakdown in terms of the agenda? >> people are tired of the distraction. i think there's a lot of people on the left who absolutely think there's something there. you ask them what's there, it's collusion, it's russia, it's nefarious. something's bad. and so it just adds fuel to the fire to this resist movement. we're not going to get anything done. now, on the right you have people who think that donald trump is completely free, and we should be talking about the things that matter. the folks in the middle just care about a what's happening to them in their daily lives and the things that are going to impact them are health care, their tax reform. that's all of the infrastructure spending that's going to create stimulation and growth. that's what people want to hear about. they're tired of gridlock in washington. and by

pollster lee carter is here to be putting the president to the dial test, if you will.ave a couple of different topics that we want to get to and let's start off by hearing what president trump had to say yesterday in regards to obamacare being dead. >> obamacare is in a total death spiral and the problems will only get worse if congress fails to act. obamacare is dead. i've been saying it for a long time. everybody knows it. everybody that wants to report fairly about it knows. the house of representatives has done its job. it sent a plan to the senate and the senate is working it over, we spent a lot of time yesterday with mitch mcconnell, a lot of the great senators that happen to be republicans because we are having no help, it's only obstruction from the democrats. the democrats are destroying health care in this country. >> all right, lee, what type of grade do you give. lee: you can see the republicans like the message, independents and democrats an f. the most fascinating thing to watch throughout the whole process is independents and on obamacare it's also the

gary smith, john wayfield, lee carter and julie, welcome to everybody. what impact will withdrawing from the paris climate accord have on american jobs? >> as trump would say. it would be hugely positive. this is just the kind of liberal boondoggle that we elected donald trump to get us out of. this was always they used to say in my day sleeves out of the best. other countries gave up nothing. china said we will reduce our emissions in 2030 just when we would have estimated even without the paris accord they would reduce emissions. pakistan said they would reduce emissions to the fullest extent possible which means nothing. those countries gave up nothing. the paris accord is fine if we gave up nothing, we didn't. we are pledge it to spend $100 billion a year. think what $100 billion could be for jobs around here. you could build a wall. you could fund the next thousand teslas. you could give the money back to the citizens of the united states and corporations so they could come up with innovative technologies. donald trump is right to do this. it was so

here with the brand new dials lee carter partner and president at maslansky and partners. t generally aren't all that usual generally they were passing the corn to watch this. what did we learn here? let's get to the first thought. comey revealed lorreta lynch ordered him not to call email probe an investigation. watch this first. >> at one point the attorney general had directed me not to call it an investigation but, instead, to call it a matter. which confused me and concerned me. it gave the impression that the attorney general was looking to align the way we talked about our work with the way political campaign was describing the same activity, which was inaccurate. we had a criminal investigation open. sandra: all right. so how was this graded? >> can you see there republicans gave this a d so did independents. even the democrats gave this a c. what i thought was -- this is something that the republicans and independents like why is this not the centerpiece of what we are talking about? do you understand what a big deal this is? he opened his testimony by saying words

maria: the message you criticized in the past lee carter, are they telling the story this time? lee: i don't think they are telling the story right. we were just looking at, david and i were looking at components of the bill and there's a lot of really positive things as its written even in summary but i don't think they are getting out there and telling the story. democrats are coming out and attacking it for things that aren't necessarily true. preexisting conditions addressed in there, other things that are addressed in there that people are saying are not. so i think that the republicans really need to take control of the narrative and if there is going to be some fighting as we are seeing, we are trying to make this better, let's start having discussions and stop being obstructionists. maria: we've got this topic on the table. we have a lot coming up this new york. new york congresswoman claudia is with us and mac and the man who survived the benghazi terrorist attack and coauthored 13 hours, inside account of what happened in benghazi. big program ahead. let's get right to

dagen mcdowell, kevin kelly and the president of miscreants give partners partners lee carter is here. great to see you. >> good morning. >> good morning to you >> we've got a loaded week of the markets because you see volatility levels go a three-week highs albeit historically low. starting to take effect. >> yield on the tender closed for the year so far so there is worry there as well. i also want to ask a question, will president trump live to eat the testimony? >> you seen all of these events to see what's going to happen. everybody wants to know. the question is who's got plans to do a speech during it, but is he going to spend all of his time tweeting? he's going to control the story. maria: everybody wants to know what jim comey affair. dagen: he will start my review some of the things the president has said publicly. >> the big question is how effective is comey and is the embarrassing to the president. maria: a lot of the docket this morning. wilbur ross joining us this morning along with a member of the armed services with mike rounds with us. the house majority leader and

joining me right now, president lee carter. kevin kelly and see a fiery investment strategist, welcome this morning. >> happy monday. >> you are back and i'm so excited. there's so much happen in washington. we've got to get the mcdowell takes. dagen: i will try not to curse. i like my job. 6:02 on monday morning. let's not get fired. first in the senate bill we are talking about first ring. congressional budget office expected to release analysis of the senate health care bill early this week. some reports suggesting it could come as early as today. this has some republican senators asked a status that a vote on the bill this week at its july 4th recess. >> we don't have enough information. the constituencies to review the senate bill. we should not be voting over this next week. >> or that word is to consider this. i think a few more days to consider would be helpful. >> it's hard for me to see the bill, but that's up to the majority leader. dagen: kentucky senator rand paul taking up positions lighting out what it would take

lee carter, and she just put together the president's dial test. independents and then the blue are democrats. >> obamacare is the in a total death spiral. and the problems will only get worse if congress fails to act. obamacare is dead. the house of representatives has done its job. it sent a plan to the senate, and the senate is working it over. having no help. it's only obstruction from the democrats. the democrats are destroying health care in this country. brian: the grade. >> so you can see the republicans gave this an a-plus. they were off the charts, independents a c, and democrats an f. now, what i am hearing from voters is that this message that obamacare is not working doesn't resonate. they want to hear what the republicans are going to do to make it better. enough with the bashing the democrats. let's move forward and tell us what we're going to get on the republican side. >> the approval generating for obamacare went up because they panic they're going to lose everything. next, he talks about building the country. this is infrastructur

lee carter has the brand new dials coming up next.easons, comparing gop to al-qaeda, really? abby: we are talking about first summer jobs. we are going to share some of our pictures, that's coming up my business was built with passion... but i keep it growing by making every dollar count. that's why i have the spark cash card from capital one. with it, i earn unlimited 2% cash back on all of my purchasing. and that unlimited 2% cash back from spark means thousands of dollars each year going back into my business... which adds fuel to my bottom line. what's in your wallet? abby: shot of the morning featuring pictures of your summer job. this is kirk sending us picture of first summer job back in 1981. he started as radio host in missouri at the age of just 16. >> good stuff. linda sends us this picture of her first job as a dog walker. it doesn't get any better being outdoors running with dogs all summer. abby: that's not an easy job, though. ed: at 14, the year was 1964, steam engine operator responsible for firing up the engine every

lee carter, one of our favorites putting the president to the dial test. thank you for coming in.de exciting speech for sure. >> trump back in his best. this is what the president had to say, written in history by the dreamers, listen to this. >> if we to set aside the cynics and the critics we have a chance, it is a great chance, it lies before us, to do extraordinary things for our country in the years ahead. history is written by the dreamers, not the doubters. >> you can see republicans love it, they gave it in a. independent to be and even democrats gave it a c. when trump is giving positive messages, talking about optimism, looking forward. everybody gets on board. this is the campaign trump out there free styling it wasn't scripted. donald trump towards the end of the campaign, off of a little bit, back on message. the president taking care of what he said about taking care of veterans. >> it would be a beautiful beautiful thing if we could get together as two parties that love our country and come up with that great healthcare and that great tax deal for our people and tax

lee carter did sound bite testing. >> that's right.ot late to the trump train. you said there was something going on months before. you actually picked him to come out on top of this election it wouldn't surprise you when these dials had come out positive in front of this live audience. >> that's right. this is very much like the candidate trump not just as much as the president trump we have seen so far. brian: this one is why would a billionaire run for president and not even take a paycheck. you are talking about serving the people. >> that's right. >> i was elected to serve the citizens of iowa and pennsylvania and ohio and michigan and wisconsin and florida and all 50 states and all 320 million american citizens. steve: looks like the democrats didn't like him mentioning the states they lost. in. >> no. that's absolutely right. republicans love. this they gave an a plus. this is president trump being for the people, of the people. on the other hand, you saw the democrats gave this more like a d minus. he felt like they were squash

we have gop strategist lee carter here., tapes and we go back to richard nixon and the tapes that were blurted out by his assistant butterfield at a hearing and that changed the entire dynamic. tapes would do that. would change things and provide proof for a lot of things. do you first of all think there are tapes? >> oh, lordy, i don't know. i get the sense based on what donald trump said today, there aren't any tapes. the reason i say that, he's said you're going to know in a couple days and you're going to be disappointed. >> right. i thought this is the same thing. >> i think it's much adieu about nothing. i just wish as someone on the sidelines, this would be put to bed. that he -- when he was in the rose garden today, he would have said look, no collusion, no investigation, case closed. let's move on. he started to try to do that but then he's got to leave this dangling -- i was going to say dangling chad, but this bit of information are there tapes, are there not tapes, are we going to let it go? if it doesn't stop,

lee is going to get a minute and a half. about what you think i just said, nixon to carter, you can map that on to bush, to obama. in, we militarized our foreign policy, we engaged in a thankless war, and we need to pull back and be less literalistic, and that goes hand-in-hand with peace processes. we are showing the rest of the we want to find diplomatic solutions to problems without muscular america. .rump comes in trump is a hybrid between bush and obama. what trump said in the campaign was, i'm going to give you more with less. i'm going to give you more than president obama gave you, because he was unable to use military force and flex america's muscles. you are going to see muscular america, but i am going to do it less than bush. bush got involved with all these thankless initiatives like spreading democracy around the world. not me. i'm going to focus on narrow national interests. you find there is a tension in the administration. the narrow national interest people who are thinking like obama about pulling back, they a peace process and they are wary of israel because the support -- >> up got to cut you
