leets bring in lee carter. we were talking about you before you came on the air this morning. everybody is coming in today, it's a really big day, what about your whole season, has this had impact on the days leading up or big events following, what are you expecting to happen now? >> you know, throughout the weekend we actually saw a lot of traffic come in through kansas city from alabama and florida so we definitely saw an increase in tourism visiting kansas city days prior to today and now that we have received the media and everything else, we expect just keep on doing what we plan behind our concept and continuing to grow as people kind of fall in love with our property and see what we are really about, so -- cheryl: jason, i want to ask you, we love your name, jason alexander which i'm sure you get that all of the time. >> i do. cheryl: how big of an event is this for your company, have you ever experienced anything like this as a business owner? >> no, it's really exciting. i mean, of course, we sold out before, that's not a new thing but the excitement and the getting

lee carter, what do you make of this?> what's really important to know about the tweets it's not the content about what's in them and what's not in them -- dagen: today? >> he didn't -- he wasn't tweeting yesterday because he was retweeting but he didn't say anything himself. the white house issued a statement last night but i think people need to hear right now from the president that he is standing up against white supremacists. i'm glad to see he's going to work back in washington, d.c. for the american people. i'm glad to see the work that's being done but we need healing in this country and this issue needs to be addressed and if he were not the president right now he would be criticizing himself right now because that's exactly what he did when barack obama would not talk about isis as islamic terrorism and he's got to address this, the people need to hear it. dagen: from a personal perspective, in an attempt not to be hypocrite on my part, i i repeatedly over eight years called him out for not using strong language

to talk about it caitlin, the brewer group, jack brewer and president of maslansky + partners, lee carter everybody. lee: good to be here. maria: conversation about conference yesterday. >> we had a great discussion earlier this morning in the first hour and we were talking about the ways in which people looked to the president in times of crisis like this and unfortunately he created one of his own by overstepping in his own message, mudding the waters as you said on this really issue and you're going to hear a lot more from republicans today who want to establish a contrast with this president. maria: so much vitriol, so much rage around it and jack, you spoke to this earlier because of this sensitivity of the subject and the president really not being in touch in terms of how sensitive it is. yesterday i tweeted out that i thought the press conference went well and i called it excellent and got slammed on twitter, i was trying to communicate the idea that i thought it was good that he came right out swinging and explained the fail frciÓn the day before, explained why he didn't get it r

haglund is here and mike murphy and fox news contributor mercedes schlapp and look who it is, it's lee cartermissed on monday but she's back. what is she going to be talking about? top story this hour, president trump holding campaign rally last night in phoenix, arizona, did americans like his message, lee is here, she is with maslansky + partners, she's president of that firm, let's take a look at how americans responded to the president's message of unity last night. let's start by watching this. >> it's time for all of us to remember that we are all in the same team, we are all americans and we all believe right now in america first. dagen: tell us what those dials are. >> you can see the red line with republicans, off the charts, they really liked what he had to say, independentants flat line and democrats as well. now, that to me is the big story, independents for the last two years have been tracking, that's not happening right now. we are seeing a softening of support. i've also heard from folks saying democrats are giving a c, usually they give him an f. i have to say, it was a very

impact as it comes to tax cuts and tax -- dagen: this was a strong moment and i was talking to lee carterts. details are still few, the blueprint that came out in the spring from the treasury department, one specific that's been brought up even by gary cohn in recent interview, repealing reduction for state and local taxes, major, major pushback from democrats on that and even republicans in high-tax states like new york. >> look, we are trying to make real change to this tax code that means eliminating loopholes and deductions that have favored frankly very few taxpayers in this country. the state and local income tax hurts me as new yorker but helps many americans but that's close to a trillion dollars to pay for meaningful tax reform for everybody else. the tax code in the last 30 years since it's been changed has largely worked for wealthy and those who have powerful special interest representing them and who it hasn't worked for rather is the american worker, small business, the hard-working mainstream shop owner, these are the people that we need to reframe the focus on who we try t
