stuart, take it away. stuart: indeed. the president issued a crude attack on a news anchor and it hurt his standing and i think it hurt his growth agenda. good friday, everyone. many republicans left washington. back home they'll catch an earful of obamacare reform and inevitably the presidential tweet. the president's opponents will have a feed day. mitch mcconnell hoped to have a health bill today. it has yet to appear. already divided, the tweet will not help bring republicans together. voters do not approve of the president's use of his twitter account. 71% believe his tweets hurt his agenda and by the way, this poll was taken before yesterday's tweet. all right, now what? donald trump is not well, mika brzezinski and joe wrote that as well and that's as a result of the presidential tweet. they canceled their vacations and no tweets yet about morning joe from the president. let's get to the markets, big selloff yesterday. as interest rates were rising and concentrated in big tech stocks. we've got a modest bounce for

stuart: amen. address the senate on the floor of the senate about the health care reform plan. that is very important development. happening fairly soon, nancy pelosi is going to hold a news conference. i believe she is going to answer some of the fingerpointing at her because of the loss by the democrats in georgia. by the way, representative kathleen rice, she is a democrat, she is from new york, she was on competing network earlier this morning. she he said quote, it is time for new leadership after a string of losses. she said it is not personal but nancy pelosi was a great speaker. she was a great leader but her time has come and gone. ashley: wow. stuart: there is mounting pressure -- ashley: she was a great speaker. stuart: there is mounting pressure here for her to step done or step aside in some way, coming from the democrats themselves. ashley: she had a competition from tim ryan early on if you remember. he ran against her. yes. and there always has been some grumblings within the ranks

stuart: and with us is lisa booth. >> hi, stuart. stuart: good morning, lisa., let's suppose a democrat does something similar with james comey today. badgering the man, for example, not letting him answer the question. i think that will make the democrat look bad. what say you? >> well, and it will probably happen. i mean, i guarantee we'll see that here in 40 minutes from now, during the hearing, but you've got to think about it, stuart. i worked on capitol hill for a and so, there's also political component as well, for someone like senator harris. and questioning rosenstein and put it on youtube and put it out on press release and she gets to tout that she was standing up to the trump administration, so there's a political element of this, especially with a young senator like camalla harris and sticking it to the donald trump administration. stuart: i don't think it will look good though. the whole world is watching this. every broadcast network, every cable network, gavel to gavel. >> you don't say. stuart: you don't say, exactly. what do you make of the i

stuart: you like that? >> holy cow. stuart: fill'er up. time of year when gas prices are supposed to go up, but the price of gas has been down for 21 days in a row. can you tell us what's going on? >> reporter: it does cost more to produce the summer blends, that's usually why the price goes up, but oil prices are so low, stuart. this is a citgo refinery outside chicago, this does canadian tar sands oil, by the way, which if you think right sweet crude is cheap, this is $30 a barrel right now for canadian tar sands oil. it's crazy. and as you point out, gas prices consequently have come down about 6% in the last two months, and it's because production is just crazy and demand is not there. merrill lynch said today that they don't think demand is going to go up appreciably to kind of take this glut away. so we're in serious problems. we're making, i think, 9.35 million barrels per day in the u.s. which is an 8% increase over last year, and the oil companies are getting kicked. at some point, i tell you, prices get low enough, you start to l

stuart, take it away. stuart: thanks very much, maria. this is not good news, obamacare is collapsing and the vote to reform it has been delayed. the media gloating. good morning, everyone. republican senators cannot agree. they will leave washington for the july 4th holiday, they'll come back and try again. when they return to their constituents, they will be met with a barrage of lobbying from both sides. that will not make compromise easier. there are nine g.o.p. holdouts. if republicans can't agree leader mcconnell says he'll have to bring in senator schumer and the democrats, that means no reform at all. the media loves this. the new york times says party fissures have been exposed in an embarrassing setback for republicans, end quote. and here is a dire warning from the conservatives, if g.o.p. senators blow this, say hello to single payer health care. i repeat, this is not good news. however, yet again, political paralysis has not spilled over to the markets. the modest gain for the dow expected right there at the opening bell toda

>> like a lifetime ago, stuart. stuart: doesn't it just.th the republican party. they are divided. they're not acting like a party that governs. i want you to, i'm telling you, if they don't get done tax reform, at the very least, tax reform this year, i think the gop is toast next year. you agree with that? >> well, if we go into our midterms and we don't get health care done, i think we're about 50/50. i'm not giving up on health care. but it will be a heavy lift to get compromise out of the senate to get freedom caucus on board. if we don't get, no tax reform, it will be difficult midterm, we'll keep the house and senate. my bet, stuart, is, we have a better chance of doing bipartisan tax reform. forget about judge jet reconciliation. i don't kn we get a 2018 budgeto it anyway. if we can democrats agree, corporate taxes at 35 are way too high, subchapter-s at 39.6 are way too high, i think there is an opening but, senator schumer doesn't want to give us a single win. will he, will democrats cooperate for what is good for america, getting

well, stuart, is that aimed at me? stuart: yes, sir.'m sorry. >> i'm not a lawyer. most people think that's a good thing. i actually think what this actually does is put a review process on it. even the president used this word ban, but if you look at what it does, it simply allows the federal government to do an exhaustive review to make sure we're not allowing jihadists at will to come into our country. this is overwhelmingly popular notion we keep jihadists out. i believe england and london would like to do the same thing. stuart: i think you're right. this is key issue. maybe there is some disappointment we have to wait until october for a full airing of the decision. nonetheless in the short-term it seems to be a win for president trump in some respects. that is how i will take it at the moment. we're working getting lawyers on the line. matt schlapp, hold on a second. i have jay sekulow on the phone of the he is a lawyer. he knows what he is talking about. so, jay, straighten me out please. i'm reading this as partial win for pres

he had a direct shot to stuart. once stuart was mortally wounded at yellow tavern, he reported directly to robert e. lee. it's the only instance i can think of where a colonel reported directly without anybody in between. to robert e. lee, as far as his operations. but mosby did it his way. what do i mean by that? when mosby had enough men to go from being what he called mosby's conglomerates, that would have in january 1863 to the ninth of june, 1863, when he operated not as a formal unit with no other blessing from anyone other than the fact that he was in charge of this group of people -- until the 10th of june, 1863, when he formalized his command my forming company a, the 43rd battalion virginia calvary. and when he was about to form that unit, jeb stuart told him don't call them partisan rangers, don't call yourself rangers. that's a word that is kind of fallen into the repute at this point. call yourself mosby's regulars. mosby did not listen to that guidance. stuart also told him you will have elections. you

stuart: that's true.ofitability, whereas the bond market is looking at the overall strength of the u.s. economy, that's the way i would play it. and i wonder, how did we get this so wrong? not we, but how come there's such a discrepancy. maria: we had the adp number out. big expectations yesterday. stuart: 253,000 jobs according to adp. according to the government. 147,000 new private-- >> 138. stuart: no 147 private sector. maria: and last month 211,000 from the government. that was revised downward. >> the markets are not selling off and one of the reasons why, they benefit from the low interest rate environment and their earnings are worth more in this. when you look at russell 2000, small cap stocks, it's not done well and the volatility is a 50% premium than to the large cap. investors need to be careful what they're playing in and that's why large caps of benefitting. maria: the dow up 18 points. bottom line, do you think it changes the fate of the fed june 13th, 14th? >> yes. maria: you do? do you
