smith there. the authorities in egypt say a british couple who died on holiday suffered heart and respiratory failure. 69—year—old john cooper, and his wife susan the steigenberger aqua magic in hurghada on the red sea. their daughter, who was on holiday with them, said they were "in perfect health" just hours before they fell ill. the tour operator thomas cook said it was removing all its customers from the hotel as a "precautionary measure". judith moritz reports. john and susan cooper are said to have started their holiday in great spirits and are described as having been in perfect health when they went to bed on monday night. but the next morning, their daughter kelly found them extremely ill. i believe that that is not due to natural causes. something does not add up. my parents went to sleep on the monday evening, fit, healthy and in good spirits and awoke the following morning in very poor health. medical action was taken but u nfortu nately medical action was taken but unfortunately nobody could do anything to save their lives will stop i have made accusations and i need answers. the meant the absolute world to me. nobody could have as

susan, good to see you. is a strong economy enough to stop a blue wave in november? to democratic strategist rochelle richie, alex smith trump for president advisory board member and a guy who's actually once for bernie -- >> i'll never live it down. david: -- harlan hill. good to see you all. alex, 4% growth, extraordinary in the last quarter. strong potential at 3% growth which we haven't seen in eight or nine years. rising wages, investments, more jobs than we've ever seen. it's hard to beat this on the campaign trail. >> yeah. and i'll note that republicans in 2016, our various republican candidates that were running talked about 4% growth as a reality for the united states. now that we're seeing it play out into reality, i think it's going to put the squeeze on democrats this upcoming election because once the economy's doing well, people feel like they have jobs, wages are rising, they're likely to turn their attention to other issues. and a big issue that's coming up and a big issue that motivates people to go to the polls is the supreme court. and we have, of course, judge kavanaugh who's up for confirmation, a
