Fbi your james comey will testify before the Senate Intelligence committee this morning. Comey will tell lawmakers about the complicated relationship with President Trump, prepared remarks claiming he told comey loyalty, expect loyalty. He wrote the president is not under investigation. Ive been a prosecutor, defense attorney military judge. That means in the minds of special counsel mueller there is no obstruction of justice case to be made because if he felt like he had a case he wouldnt make comey is cheap and only witness going public and cant be bad. Maria fox business bringing you live coverage of the comey testimony. The drama unfolding. The president pushing forward with his agenda. President trump will be with governors and mayors as part of his plans to revamp our countrys infrastructure. More on the agenda coming out. Yesterday we did see the beginnings of the markets impacted by all the noise in d. C. Looking at a rally. Dow industrials up 30 points. Nasdaq s p 500 in the grade. In addition to the British Election we await the ecb can the European Central Bank Decision will happen this morning. Headlines as soon as they had the tape. Watching for any additional stimulus out of mario brexit co. A 5 decline yesterday. A new report this morning from the wall street journal says u. S. Oil exports at 1 Million Barrels a day this year. Breaking news out of ts. The device exploded outside of the u. S. Embassy. No injuries have been reported. Cocacola dropping the sugar. The soda maker at the sugarfree option in some markets. Will consumers straight up or will it fall flat . The biggest stars took to the stage at the cmt awards, Country Music awards. The big winners last night this morning. Jamie to talk talk about it, Fox Business Networks Dagen Mcdowell. The fra strategist length about an editorial page investor at the wall street journal james greenback as it does. Dagen good morning. Lets watch the comey clock. Under four hours away. I want to know after reading that hbo movie script that he wrote to play him, most people in hollywood are like 54, 55. Im sure he has a short list in an hbo movie sure to come to this. Trade to a movie script. Good one. Trade. He just said vince on. That is an excellent suggestion. Trade two really good because he is that all is well. Why did james comey releases testimony a day early, what do you think . Dagen you. Typically when you appear before a committee, you didnt get them to prepared testimony ahead of time so it will come out before the hearing anyway. He obviously did not give lawmakers ofoth partiethe information they asked for. Well see how to ey get about that. The bottom line looks like no case here. Maria do you think the question of did the read allege ask jim comey to lay off the investigation during the election. Will that come up . That is a good question. We are obviously getting the playbyplay of interactions with President Trump. We havent heard the back story that caused him to break protocol last year. He doesnt seem to believe he ought to have a boss. He obviously doesnt think the president should be his boss. Maria he is a real operator worried about his reputation. There are a lot of traveling games in there about jim comey and not President Trump. I dont think weve learned anything about the way she manages people or his personality from the prepared testimony. Maria weve got a lot to cover pictured in the conversation, former whitewater independent counsel robert ray is here. The senator from north dakota john hilton is joining us. Washington congresswoman Cathy Mcmorris rogers also weighed in on the president s agenda in the regulation rollback. We will bring you all of that coming up. British voters headed to the polls today for the third time in over two years in a snap election called by Prime Minister Teresa Knight to shore up our mandate to the negotiation the conservative party and her main rival the Labor Party Led by Jeremy Corbett with the Financial Times poll of polls put Theresa Mays Conservative Party just ahead. That is down more than 20 back in april. The election after to terrorist attacks in the span of three weeks. See what kind of voters had to say about whether security will affect their votes. I think they are more important this election. I think security is an important thing, but not only important thing. I think its a really important aspect. The selection to me was very much a brexit though. Is only one issue among several. I wouldnt necessarily say at the top. By end of this type drug im more interested in things that pensions and so forth. Trade your joining us now from westminster with the latest, Business Editor of the independent josie cox. Thank you for weighed in this morning. Hi, maria. Trade to do you think the terrorist attacks will affect your vote . For what we were hearing as well, of course its on the minds of people. It was a relatively sizable attack. It took the lives of people. People are still talking about it. Definitely on the top of our conscious. On top of that as well, it is a brexit vote. We are a couple weeks away from starting britains exit from the European Union which is an unprecedented step that is still something that divides the nation at the moment. That is also one of the key electoral issues today. James springer with the wall street journal. Wondering if you could tell us about economics here. Unlike previous conservatives, theresa may has not been pushing grow economics, less taxes. Is this a problem in termof the identity of her party . I think especially this feeds into the brexit debate. So much uncertainty about what it will economically beyond the u. K. There have been projections that it will seriously hurt gdp growth. Weve already seen inflation reached 2. 7 which is the highest in a number of years. The pounds are significantly lower than the dollar down 10 since last june so. These things are feeding into concerns of the think tanks of the populace as well. There has definitely been a lot of criticism that theresa may has not addressed those concerns as well as she might have. Dagen josie, let say Jeremy Corbett does end up the leader of britain. You dont make spec that he would put another referendum in front of the british people to then decide whether they stay in the European Union are not. He did not campaign for state in the union actively, correct . That is right. Thats absolutely right. We are so far entrenched in the process that even though official negotiations havent yet started, theres obviously talkbrexit o. Would n almost a yr now. It would be hard to reverse that. Not least because of the willingness of our counterpart to cooperate and be willing to tolerate a backpedaling. What would be the real probability of Jeremy Corbyn winning. Weve seen a titan. What would be the possibility of said three losing because that would be a risk. Theres obviously a still a probability of a Hung Parliament coming out of the election tonight. Overall, it does look like from the polls that Theresa Mays Conservative Party will secure a majority. The possibility of Jeremy Corbyn winning and becoming the next Prime Minister is reduced on all of the posters ive been talking to. That is very marginal at the moment. As we all know from the last couple of years, nothing should be taken for granted that we should brace for any kind of surprise. Maria now we know that. Thank you so much. Josie cox in the u. K. Former fbi director james comey to take center stage today as he is widely anticipated to say a number of things. He released his testimony already. The prepared testimony making huge waves. Kevin couric is that the white house right now. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning, maria. Always on washington and demand that President Trump testified james comey is set to testify capitol hill. And a preview ofis opening statement, saying very clearly once again mr. Comey did say exactly what weve been saying along that the president is not under investigation meddling into the 2016 campaign. Let me share a part of statement. It says in part the president is pleased that mr. Comey is finally publicly confirmed his report that the president was not under investigation in any russian probe. He goes on to add the president feels completely and totally vindicated, eager to move forward with his agenda. If they were only that simple. Obviously not because mr. Comey will still answer a number of probate in an very leading questions about conversations with the president included the socalled request for his loyalty about which the president told fox news base. No, i did it, but i dont think it would be a bad question to ask. Loyal to the country, loyalty to the United States is important. It depends on how you define loyalty. Number one. Number two, i dont know how that got there because i didnt ask that question. Reporter added mass that question. Maybe he was asking it in a different way. Either way the testimony set to begin at 10 00 a. M. We are very excited in washington and i will be here for you but the coverage. Maria a comeback as news develops.

Train to President Trump dedicating this week to the crumbling infrastructure. We will do governors and mayors listening session later today in an effort to ensure the administrations policy alliance at this day. After he pushes 1 trillion to restructure plan is in the matter yesterday. Watch. The American People deserve the best infrastructure anywhere in the world. We are a nation that created the panama canal, the Transcontinental Railroad and you think about this, the great highway system, the interstate highway system. We dont do that anymore. We really dont. Trying to join nfls policy director for mitt romney and Research Fellow at the hoover institution, lonnie chad. What do you make of the president s focus on infrastructure. With everything going on in terms of jim comey investigations. The infrastructure pieces critical because it did for Economic Growth. The better infrastructure the president talked about waterways, air Traffic Control system. These are crucial things if we get our economy moving. In the long run, this is a big investment we can make. This is going to be absolutely crucial. Its unfortunate we havent seen or support because this is an issue we thought would be able to get cooperation on. Maria we havent seen any cooperation on the agenda. Do you think is a little push this through . Does he get some relief on permitting . Every big effort is five or 10 years and bureaucratic hurdles. Can we see that . I dont expect that to be a democratic priority but could that end up in the bill . Is absolutely critical. The rollback in ranks. Has been undercover to really renovate the administrative state. We have so much stuff over the last eight years with barack obama they could have harder and harder for businesses to grow and invest. With respect to infrastructure, impacts have been huge and unfortunate. But in a different direction regulation absolutely critical. If we are going to get anything done. Any private money in the process and get the 1 trillion target, you have to convince them again and again and again that it will be an easier permitting process. The wall street journal reported that their blackstone is behind this effort to lay cables to bring electricity from canada into the new york city area. The permitting process is 10 years log in that effort. There is skepticism on the republican side as well. The journal reported today the effort to privatize air Traffic Control is facing resistance from republicans who are worried about rural areas and less populous areas. Anytime youve got an entrenched system there would be people defending the entrenched system. Theres no doubt if you look at air traffic and drove, this is something democrats and republicans have agreed on. For administrators coming out saying the system and crucial if we are going to move the system forward. They know how much the disaster this could bbecause of airspace design in the 1960s and 70s. It all begins of health care. You are at capitol hill yesterday. Lawmakers on capitol hill working towards replacing obamacare. Kevin mccarthy was at this yesterday and he explained why obamacare is failing right now. No bill has passed the change obamacare. 18 of the 23 coops have collapsed. Premiums have doubled. They want to increase next year. The Insurance Companies have pulled out without a bill passing before we got here. Its a lot of smoke and mirrors. To me its almost laughable democrats would even bring that forward. Twin to my question about them saying it is failing now to the gop because of uncertainty around it. Republican and now really incumbent upon the senate to take action. Mitch mcconnell has said he wants to get a bill out by the fourth of july. But if the tax reform and other issues. On health care bears an opportunity for republicans to get better. The medicaid entitlement reform peace in the house bill is critical. So to Fix Health Care the right way. Unfortunately now, a lot of folks on the left love this program. It is doing beneficiaries. Figure mitigated fiscally sustainable, through the program and give states some options around it. Traded to republican governors who accepted the medicaid friendly Affordable Care act, they like it and it looks like the republican plan coming out of the senate is going to be a severely watered down one that they might have trouble getting arch conservatives on board with. This is in the republican party. But ultimately they will come out with an approach that looks at medicaid to reformat. But ultimately it is the most important. Maria they look set to defend against them now. If they accept it and are able to get this done by july 4th as you say are right after, before the july recess, and you think tax reform and infrastructure plan can get executed with 40 days to go but congress is working . Less than 40 now. I would hope that all the stuff going on and they can get some tax reform. Obviously, the difficulties youve got a house plan. People in the senate who dont like the house approach. The white house is more aligned with her the senate is. Lets do business tax reform. We agree we need agree we need lower rates at a broader race to incentivize growth. A lower statutory rate. Lets get that done. Maria thanks so much, lanhee chen. James comey and the hot seat today. Headed to capitol hill where he will be questioned. Chipotle gets grill. The fast food chain facing a lawsuit for allegedly failing to pay overtime to employees. Weve got the details. Stay with us. Back in a moment. I accept i take easier trails than i used to. I even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. But no matter what path i take, i go for my best. So if theres Something Better than warfarin, ill go for that too. Eliquis. Eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus had les major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis had both. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Im still going for my best. And for eliquis. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Bring you more ways to helps reduce calories from sugar.

I want to see all context all of the n witnesses that are going to be investigated in this that investigation is just begun the way i look at this let facts go wherever they are wait till final judgment all evidence facts.

Incredible opportunity, about durant for 3 it goes, count from it downtown golden state takes the lead. Yeah healths after ken durant warriors take 30 lead on lebron james and cavs, we will have that for you coming up, top story this half an hour, a bombshell testimony is expected from former fbi director jim comey on ecologically according to prepared remarks he will delve into what he called complicated republican with President Trump before mittee t the president put pressure on comey in january President Trump said i need loyalty i expect loyalty on top of mike flynn coverings with return ambassador comey recalls President Trump said i hope you can see your way clear to letting this to go to letting flynn go he is a good guy, i hope you can let this go despite sometime harsh cast on president s test comey mentions three times between january and april mr. Trump was note personally under investigation, he failed to say that publicly, for that reason alone President Trumps outside attorney released a statement saying in part, the president feels completely totally have i beened he indicated, Senate Intelligence Committee Member said last night he doesnt believe there is a case for broadcast centers of justice. Details on that more visit with jim comey, jim comey didnt want to be alone with president thought that put him in awkward situation, he mentioned that later on in his written prepared statement there, what is very clear on is that the president wasnt saying youve got to do this or else. Joining us this morning, is former white ware independently Council Robert ray great to see you thanks for weighing. Expectations for today. I dont think there will be any bombshell testimony obviously a fair amount of Public Interest followed closely i dont think we will see anything much new that we dont already know or hasnt been released now with the statement by jim comey that was released by the committee yesterday afternoon. Why all of the sort of noise around it then if you think just going to be more of the same. Because the democrats pushed impeachment line i think i agree with you know people who are responsible looked at this there is not an obstruction case to be made, that was not obviously provable and not the president s intent i think the president is right to say that he feels vindicate he indicated, he ways assured three times as he previously said by director comey confirmed it that is not under investigation we kind of start from there go forward all this nonsense about obstruction, and impeachment so forth we ought to be put to one side the country ought to get past that in a hurry investigators ought to get on with task determine one way or the other whether any evidence of collusion the whole purpose of the investigation to begin with. We ought to do that expeditiously done in time doesnt put a cloud over the administration, which the president has every right to expect. Maria yeah. This new testimony also keeping in mind, the clinton investigation, what can we say about comey job performance, his his obligation to the follow the traditional protocols of Law Enforcement, investigating of prosecution, looking at he is talking about duty to report publicly, is that he is that the job of the fbi director. Well, i mean you raised a legitimate point what traditional is done lets sort of start with seasonal historical precedent hr the notion fbi director doesnt have any communications or should not have communications with the president of the United States is a rather recent historical development, that was not historically true fbi director works for the president the fact the president would expect some degree of loyalty, to his administration is not completely a ridiculous notion, with regard to the to what the fbi director is free to comment about yes, department of justice protocol ordinarily emphasis on word ordinarily not comment about a pending investigation if there is going to be comment it is ordinarily done by Deputy Attorney general or attorney general, further, that communications with president regarding a pending investigation or white house should be routed to the Deputy Attorney Generals Office remember that is a relatively recent development, and the emphasis should be on ordinarily jim comey was faced in the oppressive administraon witrather unfortunately development which is the actions of the then attorney general Loretta Lynch, sensationly compromised her with regard to the investigation of Hillary Clinton result of meeting on tarmac with former president bill Clinton Jim Comey was gesticulate concerned whether or not he could trust highers legals of Justice Department said so he otherwise has an obligation, although now say that will there be questions about that trump saying lay off did Loretta Lynch say lay off Hillary Clinton investigation. I dont know what the answer is i expect i imagine that he will be questions. He should also be questioned about any potential unmasking of american citizens request by Obama Administration what he knows about that what fbi looked into that. Everything is wideopen i would think. Fair game the hill should recognize probably one opportunity to question jim comey, before we move on to the effects phase which is you know the appointment of a new fbi director go forward from there. Do you think he lost credibility going into this testimony after dan coats mike rogers said they didnt feel pressured by President Trump in any way night is in eye of the beholder, look both men could be right the president you know, suggesting that he certainly didnt ask the fbi director to stop any investigation. And whatever the president s hopes information with regard to the to mike flynn may have made jim comey feel awkward. And uncomfortable but in a position of awkward uncomfortable with president of the United States does not make obstruction case. More awkward than your boss behaviori basically meeting is more awkward than that. They were awkward about uncomfortable moments during Obama Administration as well to answer your point what ordinarily is the case we dont live in ordinarily times this is a difficult position to be in he was in difficult position to be in in Obama Administration, he faced a similarly difficult position Trump Administration we move on a new 20 director will have a new fbi director. Dagen one issue do you get a portrayal President Trump working with him that would proevent talented people from want to go work there if future the editorial refers to President Trump at he worst mr. Comeysat of mr. Trump reveals a willful naive narcissist not new information. I dont buy all that the country at highest lelz who wouldnt want to do that i dont think enough qualified people in this country would like to serve . Heck i would like to serve, you know, you come a point you are given an opportunity the president asks who says no to that i think nonsense about the first you know 100, 150 days whatever how difficult it has been, boloney, is President Trump a handson person did he meet have lots of communications with fbi director yes, i thought most remarkable thing about the statement was how few times, jim mey had direct can being with president obama, atas what was unusual. Great analysis, thanks so much for coming. Thank you. Robert ray keep it right here fox business taking you live as jim comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence committee this morning 10 00 a.

Dagen super thursday. Maria good way to you the it ecb comey britain. I think, the comey thing we are sort wondering how tough they are going to be on him, i think the Judiciary Committee would be may be tougher on him we will see if the the Intelligence Committee wants to get into some of the questions here on you know why if this was real pressure from the president , if he thought it with a as problem why didnt he report it to more people at Justice Department, that is one question. Dagen Jeff Sessions made conscious decision not to report skernl conversation with trump in february right to Jeff Sessions said i expected him to recuse himself anyway why did he think that know that comey operating in a bubble journal points out in editorial fbi is not an independent agency there are checks and balances dont think you are j. Ear hoover buddy rhyme your happy comey is gone. It is a year now when we still havent seen evidence of this collusion, so i think it is reasonable to say why is this cloud still hanged around. Maria but but but. Looking for it. Maria looking for it let me ask you did he keep memos during 2016 election. He has memos, about trump, does he have memos about Loretta Lynch and Hillary Clinton . Dagen what obama said to him in few meetings they potentially had. Maria did obama say layoff vacation of Hillary Clinton. What changeded tone to start taking notes all of a sudden. Public has a right to see notes saming it is not confidential material related to Something Else but his reluckance to share when you have bipartisan requests from hill i dont know if going to make some kind of claim this is potential property, but this is clearly official business. Maria when did he start keeping notes we will talk about that. Dagen two words work pro duck. John with us, conference chair kathy mechanic morris rerjz with us, rocket lab ceo dont miss a moment. Stay with us we kick off this hour with top story it is big day for global markets, British Elections under way as European Central bank policy meeting expected to begin this hour, on top of that as we have been reporting former fbi director jim comey testifying Global Economic editor for the wall street journal Jon Hilsenrath goom to see you. Great to be here. Moving parts what is your expectation o most important. You know puzzling the way markets are behaving nothing in their way. You know, the trump economic agenda led to a rally, at the end of last year has been very slow to get off the ground the markets just keep going up, up, up, the fed if raising Interest Rates usually sends markets down now they are still rising i think we have to Start Talking about the wo bubble again, i mean it is early for this i think we have to worry start to worry about the risk we could be getting makes of a new financial bubble particularly in stock markets. When you look at Technology Stocks i guess lindsey where money has been moving. Absolutely, technology has been on fire, jon i would ask you, what is going to make at a bubble pop we have three huge news events happening, waiting for all week what where could surprise come from . I i dont see it right now you know one of the things that i find very interesting, is you know we are looking ahead to the Federal Reserve likely to raise Interest Rates next week ecb talking about unwinding some easy monday policies i think we have to look back to 2004, 2005, hour you housing bubble didnt quick in 05, 06, may be the case that even when the fed is raising rates we could get financial asset prices going up. I will tell you looking at rotations you are seeing investors pile into more defensive play Consumer Staples utilities real estate on fire last couple weeks, so the investors seem to be positioning for more cautious tone for it as we get through the summer. Dont you think james when you look at this market, it has been under until they make they he go horribly wrong in terms of not producing tax reform if market feels tax reform wont happen, really wont happen the market falls other than that isnt there a bit under this market. Markets not cheap but we have had good earnings groh, yes, i think a lot of there a lot of expectation i think, still, maybe less than there used to be, but that tax cut is going to get done this year, but i also wonder if we talk about bubbles, jon, i kind of thing maybe the stronger case is a Government Debt bubble around the world, negative rates a lot of places over last couple years, first time, in 5,000 years of recorded history it is this a concern ucb . Well, i mean, the ecb has been most concerned getting down unemployment, they have got unemployment 8, 9 through much of europe, so that has been big concern, and banks have not been lending i think ecb is now around where fed was a couple years ago, saying all right, growth is picking up time to start looking towards unwinding some stuff i think you are right james to be looking at the global picture, because you know we look a lot at u. S. We say well, you know tax cuts that is going to help u. S. Stocks but this is a global boom. One of the things that really struck me, yesterday was you know gold prices are going through the roof, so not through the roof but gold prices are rising that is no it tied to tax cuts has to be tied to Something Else. Dagen yield on 10 year treasury i watch every day still below 2. 2 , but i have been talking about a bubble in treasury market since just after the financial crisis. Because the people in washington wont deal with the looming explosion and entitlement spending, but investors nt seemo care about it. Also, you know, the 10year yields are another really they are another puzzle because, usually if the economy is doing really well and stock prices are going up you would see 10year yields rising not falling if people were word i about entitlements 10year yields would be rising not falling, instead as you he say they are towards 2 , that is a sign i think that investors around the world we havent talked about china i think china is part of it, they are looking as going into stock looking for safe u. S. Assets that is a 10 year treasury one final point 10 years Alan Greenspan when we had housing boom talked about conundrum, fed raising Interest Rates long term rates with flat to going down we have same thing going on again right now. Maria jon you think quarter point move next week by fed on wednesday. Put that in the bank.

S. States launched right to repair bills they want to pry open, look at apple hightech manufacturers, again my point, because people drop phones crack screens, repeatedly.

Maria welcome back, the private space race heating up aerospace start up rocket lab the first private company to reach space from the Southern Hemisphere last nonnasa has at an notice joining us ceo rocket lab, peter beck congratulations. Thanks very much. What was biggest takeaway from latest test launch . Well, i mean it was a great, great first launch you know we achieved on that launch what most you know countries do, so as the beginning of a Flight Program put up a solid position to commercial launch Program Later this year. Dagen you are in. You are in new zealand california what is benefit is it a cost thing . What is the deal . The deal really is that it is purely geography from new zealand can achieve largest amount of a lunch, frequency out of any other launchpad in the world the only private orbital launch site in world also licensed to launch every 72 hours next 30 years can get serious launch frequency. Maria good question. We are seeing kind of exciting space race here people bringing pay loads into space better faster cheaper in terms of consumers thinking about befit is it mainly future ideas about travel or is it more about new services that we will enjoy when satellites can be launched more cheaper or other technologies . Absolutely, i mean space is infrastructure no different to any other from your like water electricity the problem until relatively recently or even still cost and frequency of getting there is so prohibitive youve got to be government to make use of it whoint of rocket lab is democktized space that everyone can use you see starting programs like internet 600 satellites to every person on planet a massive change for humanity but all academic unless we find way to get satellites up quickly and reliably. Cheaperly. What do you think be honor musk say his same say disgust. Waved way for commercial space amazing thing we are doing things differently trying to commercialize space we are not exorcise only thing we sxeet for us talent, about incredible human being for sure. Maria you have inked deals with nasa what technology is rocket lab offering so ticing walk us bd the text. Sure, the launch frequency is really most important thing, and in the vehicle itself, the average cost of a rocket if you want to rock up apply a rocket you are going to have to shell out about 180 to 2 hundred Million Dollars if you want to apply one of our rockets 5milliondollar price tag difference in getgo instead of waiting years to get on orbit you wait weeks. Maria why a huge difference in the price how are you able to offer that rocket at 5 Million Dollars. Sure. It is really totally rethinking how you build a rocket, a rockets are designed for production, and you know we manufacture all 3d print all engines, so you know we can print one engine every 24 hours if that technology. And everything about Company Launch vehicle all focused on how do we make space, get frequency to space, right up there. Youve gotbilliondollar evaluation unicorns space exploration, ipo on your mind .

On the east coast. Here comes the bombshell. James comey expected to give explosive testimony on his relationship with President Trump. In his prepared remarks which he released yesterday, the formerrt asked for and expected loyalty. Lindsey graham says it is not enough to prove obstruction. Im convinced mueller looked at facts tell your side of the story. If you believe there was obstruction of case made against the president , he wouldnt let the star and only witness go out. Maria bars and restaurants in washington are putting the pub in public testimony. How comeyhearing is turning inppointment televisioat bars. Fox busiss network is taking you live to jim comeys testimony today. 10 a. M. Eastern when it kicks off. Well be there live. British voters headed back to the polls for an historic snap election. Were following all the latest out of the uk. Well bring you all the updates. Were live as well in london. The election shapes markets. Dow industrials up about 25 points right now. Nasdaq up about 13 points. A quarter of a percent higher. In europe in addition to the British Election were awaiting European Central bank. Well get that in a few minutes. Well bring that news as soon as it hit the tape. In asia markets mostly higher. Hang seng, shanghai, best performers. Dont dread the direct message. Twitter is tweaking its dms to avoid potentially embarrassing tweets. Well tell you what they are doing. Spokenful of sugar for disney fans. First look at emily blunt as mary poppins. The the sequel to the beloved classic. James comey will testify before the Senate Intelligence committee. His prepared remarks were released yesterday. They are already making waves. In seven pages of prepared testimony, jim comey told this, President Trump told him quote, i need loyalty, i expect loyalty. Comey written memos toself after the dinner with President Trump. Comey informed President Trump three separate occasions between january and april that he is not personally under investigation. On that last claim, President Trumps outside attorney, Mark Kasowitz released this statement saying the president feels completely, totally vindicated. Joining us to weigh in, former special prosecutor and served aspects counsel to jim come my while he was Deputy Attorney general, bill mattea. Good to see you, bill. Thanks for joining us. Good to see you, maria. Maria President Trump described jim comey as showboat, unquote. Comey expected to tell his side of the story. What are you expecting . I expect jim will stick to the facts. If you remember the testimony in 2007 related to general ashcroft on his deathbed and andrew card coming to his side. He kept to the facts. He didnt try to stray from that and didnt try to give opinions. He stuck to the facts and i expect him to do that today. The famous rod rosen soon memo went through chapter and verse looking back at 2016 how mr. Comey violated normal procedures for conducting an investigation. Does jim comey have a problem following the rules . No, but i think that jim, he is is coreign bled talented individu with amazing moral compass and he is is not he af of anything. He felt compelled to get out in front of it. I think some people might have done it differently. That is jims style. Jim is a gregarious person. He is not afraid to tell people what his opinion is. Our new fbi director if chris wray is confirmed will be much different. Maria how will he be different . Chris is much more introvert ed. He will not put himself out there. It is not in his dna. Dagen in terms of james comey, Dagen Mcdowell by the way is he bitter and got fired the way he did and will we see any evidence of that today . No. I dont think so. Jim is just not that way. You will not see any bitterness. Quite frankly jim had a distinguished career. He had a distinguished time when he was at the fbi. Im sure he feels proud about that. I think he feels proud the way he handled the situation. Maria do you think he was under pressure during the 2016 to lay off the investigation into Hillary Clinton given the fact that his boss, Loretta Lynch had meeting on tarmac with her husband, president bill clinton . Did he feel pressure to lay off of that investigation . You know, i dont think jim felt pressure one way or the other, because the man has amazing confidence in himself. He is an incredibly bright individual. Probably one of the brigest individuals i ever worked with. I think he wanted to do the right thing. I think he felt like he needed to do the right thing and getting out telling folks what was happening in different stages in the investigation. Maria so you think he did the right thing . You know he, im not sure if i were in his shoes i would have done the same thing, then again im not jim comey. This is lindsey here. You know chris wray very well. I do. He has extensive experience in whitecollar crime and corporate fraud. How is his experience in National Security and defense . Well it is strong, when he worked for Larry Thompson the Deputy Attorney general, it was in the aftermath of 9 11. He worked hand in groff with larry in order to buttress dojs terrorism efforts. When he became assistant attorney general in the criminal division, he also worked on terrorism issues a great deal. I know chris will feel very comfortable with that, in addition to his whitecollar background and a lot of things he has done since he left the Justice Department. Dagen bill, he has been in private practice nearly 12 years working in corporate litigation. Does that put him at a disadvantage . Much has changed about what is going on around the world in terms of our fight against terrorism . You could have said the same thing about jim comey but you didnt see it because jim was with a private equity firm before the head of the fbi. Before then he was at lockheed martin, not working with these kind of terrorism issues at least directly. Chris i dont think, he will get up to speed very quickly. He is a very bright guy and he is a quick learner. Bill, back to jim comey if we could. The investors have looked at this prepared testimony, judging by the markets they have sided there is nothing here that creates any legal jeopardy for the president , would you agree . I tend to agree. I dont think, if demanded that the investigation be closed into russia, that would have been one thing. I think probably closest it comes trying to talk about flynn and saying hey, he is a good guy, can you see fit to move past that . That would probably thing the closest thing in my eyes. Could we all agree flynn was mistreated by our government . That his rights were violated . Ill tell you what, im not sure im nuanced you enough to tell but the flynn situation. You may have more facts than i do about it. I dont know that i can agree with that but im not going to disagree either. Maria what about unmasking and spying under Obama Administration . Were talking about this day in, day out. We know rand paul was spied on. He said it. He told us, that he was unmasked. Lindsey graham was also unmasked. What is your take what went on and whether or not there was criminality here . So, maria i would love to give you my take on it, i dont have a take on that. I dont want to talk to something im not prepared to talk about. Maria this is the moment people will be focused on that, James Freeman. This is the question, whether mr. Comey can come in, do what he wants to do, serve himself, drop a few bombs on the president and not discuss things he doesnt want to discuss. That is what a lot of American People would like these senators and mr. Comey to discuss today. Dagen he will be used, expect jim comey to use Robert Mueller for him if he is asked anything specific about the on going russia investigation by the fbi. Again it raises issue can he use mueller as to block him if he is asked about unmasking during the Obama Administration. Maria cherrypick the questions he wants to answer. Dagen or im a private citizen, particularly looking see how he is pressed particularly by republican lawmakers. Maria jim, do you think this kind of questioning should be on the table. It should be on the table but what youre talking about current investigation i dont think jim comey will talk a lot about that. You will hear about the conversations with donald trump. He goes through that painstakingly. He is quite a story teller, if you already when he testified in 2007. Maria you think he could hide behind as it relates to Hillary Clinton there is still active investigation and i cant discuss it . I do. I do. I absolutely do. Maria did he always keep memos . Those memos that he wrote after the dinner with President Trump, he kept a memo and wrote what trump had asked him . In your working with him, is this a regular thing that jim comey would keep memos after each meeting . That a great question, maria. I dont think he kept memos in normal course of things but he did with regard of donald trump. One thing i know about jim comey he has note graphic and phone graphic memory everything he hears he felt compelled to write about the situation. Maria do you think he took memos about Hillary Clinton and Loretta Lynch and felt all pressure and active investigation during the election . I wouldnt doubt that he did. I havent heard that he said. I understand why he did with regard to trump. I think he did with regard to that situation too. Dagen bill, should he be asked why this information about was leaked to press in the first place . Because clearly somebody he was close to had permission to go to say the New York Times with what was in these memos . And some of the reporting was accurate and some of it has not been accurate. Well i think those are fair questions for him, if he knew about a leak. Im not sure he will tell you he knew about a leak. At least reports that i have seen when he discussed it with trump he said he would try to get to the bottom of it and put an end to it. Maria what is your take on all of these leaks going on . Isnt it fascinating to look at Intelligence Community or some people within the Intelligence Community who have been actively leaking things to obstruct President Trumps agenda and sort of go against the president , have you ever seen this kind of behavior before, bill. No. I never seen the kind of behavior in d. C. Were seeing now quite frankly. It is wholly inappropriate to leak this kind of information. We see just the other day that the Justice Department has taken steps towards that end by prosecuting at least that one individual we know of did leak information. Maria all right. Bill, good to have your insights this morning. Thanks so much. Great to be here, maria. Maria fox business is taking you live to james comeys testimony. He is testifying before the Senate Intelligence committee at 10 00 a. M. Eastern. Well be there live as it happens. Still to come, bars gear up for the testimony.

Twitter will warn you before a dm fail. According to mashable twitters app may help prevent you from embarrassing yourself displaying a warning you detect, you may send a public tweet instead after direct message. Seems like obvious thing, dm which is direct message, im sorry if i wasnt clear, has been a problem for twitter users since the Company First came on the scene. Shares of twitter are up nearly 7 so far this year. Like when you text the wrong person and it is too late. Anyway, that is on twitter. There is is the stock. 17. 44. Mary poppins set to fly into theaters, christmas 2018. Audience get as a sneakpeek what is to come. Entertainment weekly gives a glimpse what mary mary poppins returns looks like. Taking on the original role played by oscar winner julianne druce in 1964. She was not going to appear on screen, i was hoping she was, former costar dick van dyke, who played burt in the original, has a come yo. Im a big fan of the original movie. Looking for the remake. Maria as we are. Central bank is keeping rates unchanged. They say the reyate will remain at the current level for extended period of time. Thoughts on the ecb this morning. Not a major move in markets. Were still seeing european indices going into the decision, lindsey. That was expected, remain unchanged. What will be more important hearing what mario draghi has to say at the conference especially with regards to stopping the buyback program. Maria that happens at 8 30 eastern this morning. In 45 minutes well get details ofario dghis comntary, james. We were talking earlier, the big question how much this renewed optimism, not just stock markets but european economy seems to be rising. How much is just how much is generated from the European Central bank and how much is economics activity. They said they would reform the economies. Im not sure we saw a whole lot of that. Instead they print ad lot of money. Theyre not out of that business. Well see what happens here. You saw news earlier this week, when bloomberg reported that inflation rates, the ecbs expectations will come down. So the market kind of cheered that because they expected this buyback program, this monetary easing program to continue. So if the party stops the market could see a little bit of a pullback. Maria well see what they say about inflation. That will be one of the key things to listen to in 45 minutes at the press conference. Fixed income investors. They have driven rates basically down to the, nearly no return on negative rates in some places. Maria right. I just, were talking earlier, people worry about a stock bubble maybe, but i would worry about a Government Debt bubble. Maria what dagen has been talking about for a long time. Dagen a long time. Once the 10year yield gets 2 1 2 thereabouts, even since the financial crisis as rates went up a little bit, it is a buying opportunity at 2. 5 . Has been over and over again. Maria sometimes things are expensive but they get more expensive, you know . I think we need to, in the United States, lets hope the fed continues moving back to normalized rates. Whatever the rest of the world decides, lets hope we get back to an era where the real economy actually drives our markets. Maria fed meeting next week. The 13th, the 14th. Well hear if the fed raises rates by a quarter of a point we expect wednesday of next week. Coming up bars across the country want you to watch former fbi director james comeys testimony.

Is opening up at 9 30 a. M. Tomorrow for comeys hearing. [shouting] it is a big thing. The bar is opening up at 9 30 a. M. In d. C. For comeys hearing and give everyone a free round of drinks each time trump tweets about it. Which means everyone will be blacked out around 9 31. If youre on the west coast, bars open up at 7 00 a. M. , it will be a lot earlier. Maria there is a lot of expectation here but you know, what are we really going to hear . This is turning into like the super bowl for the summer for the media, dagen . Dagen to ruffle comeys feathers get under his skin. Maria or comey ruffle trumps feathers. Dagen im curious how gutsy these lawmakers are going to be. The democrats, Many Democrats and republicans dont like him. The democrats feel like he is responsible for losing the election for Hillary Clinton and the republicans dont like kind of the selfinvolved shenanigans of how trumps been, you know, ridiculed in the press based on these leaks of these comey memos and how comey has prepared testimony there is not much here. Then you add on to that, listening to a bunch of prepared statements from lawmakers is not exactly normally mustsee tv. So i could see the consumption peaking very early. People going out very hard and thats where i think the dangerous tweets come in. This is basically kind of a party for beltway nerds, right . It will be government officials and journalists drinking heavily and then, then tweeting about it. So we could get some entertaining messages over the social media maria drinking game . Turn it into something entertaining. Dagen im curious if trump tweets at all during the day and response is. Based on fox newss reporting that potus and his team, theyre prepared to aggressively correct the record of anything that comey says. They are ready to pounce if he says anything that they dont agree with. Maria well see if he live tweets during this. Incredible. Tracee thank you.

Comey day comey about a hashtag comey day comey clock. Uk russians not getting very much play here, there could be a surprise you never know given recent track record right. Maria that is probably a bigger story yet jim comey what is yesterday is focused on. Dagen go ahead james. I just markets obviously thinking that comey has nothing on the president , in terms of that anything that would create a legal problem for the president , i think they are probably right, once we see something that is not of proposed testimony i think could be a nonevent as far as fish thing . You know i love hockey but just it never seems to translate on television, does it. Dagen you need big fish. Dagen will testimony about jim comey, i say rental prepared you get a sense of President Trump is somebody looking on are you going to be loyal to me or what . This flynn thing can you let i got . And comey on the other hand is a very willey very guarded political operator, d might not he keeps everything close to the vest might look you in eye and not tell you what he really thinks about you, at least trump you he kind of know. Maria i dont think anybody told the president you are not to say those things to fbi director. That comes across. Two agreed that comey would provide honest loyalty. Because trump went, you know, loyalty loyalty and honesty. I think wufrs he was fired comey told trump three separate occasions you are not under investigation but jim comey refused to say it publicly, why . If not under investigation not under investigation, say it publicly why wouldnt he i mean, in a Perfect World we would love him to not say anything, we love him to not say anything last year or this year instead of having to opine, but i think, the president you know were now about a year in, would think some point when there is no evidence reasonability to say you know reasonable to say can this be removed how many years does it have to go. Maria right. Without evidence. Dagen pretty good after reading that testimony he had lawyer come out and say so vindicate vindicated. Fox news reporting dems credit on this story legs no official reason because no evidence. Yee, how does it sentenced. Does this there is something there . Are they there is not they can kind of quietly let it. Maria how much does investigation cost taxpayers like that if you keep doing hearings and keep doing hearings, even though you dont have any evidence we will talk about that this morning, former fbi director jim comey to get grilled on capitol hill today blake burman at wisely right now very latest, on what we should expect good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you if alarm clock is not set do so two hours to the dot from jim comey. Written testimony comey has submitted he will confirm some claims the president has made by also disreputeing others comey to outline he told president three separate occasions he was not subject of counterintelligence vacation comey will say he one point lift cloud of the rung investigation separately comey wi the president a demanded loyalty from him in a january 27 oneonone dinner here at the white house, and later in midfebruary, in the oval office asked for comey end investigation into the then National Security adviser Michael Flynn the president has disputed both accounts what he telled jeanine about that pledge. Would you suggest that the question apparently New York Times is selling, that you asked comey whether or not you had his loyalty was possibly inappropriate . Could you i dont think it is inappropriate. Did you ask that question. No, no, i didnt. President has personal attorney as relates to all things russia mac kasowitz released the statement the president is pleased mr. Comey finally publicly confirmed private reports that the president was not under investigatn, in any russian probe the president feels completely totally vindited eager to continue to move forward with his agenda maria that is mart of the argument that you will likely hear from the republican senators on Intelligence Committee later today however as far as relates to the democrats, they will point to this whole issue of pressure with loyalty pledge Michael Flynn whether or not that rose to the level of obstruction of justice important to point out comey did not use that phrase in his written testimony. Maria that is very important to point out blake burman at the white house right now bring in north dakota senator john o hoeven thanks for joining us. Good morning you are not on Senate Intelligence committee what are you expecting from colleagues, in the senate this morning, on this testimony . Well, i think they are going through, of course, all of the comeys opening statement, and you know try to get more of the facts out. And also i think they are going to try to get into what really happened in terms of russia, interfering you know election so i think they will do both. Maria what about jim comeys behavior performance during the 2016 election . Do you think your colleagues are going to ask him or press him on whether or not his boss at the time legislator wlor at the attorney general asked him to lay off the investigation of Hillary Clinton . I think they will, refer back to last year as well i think all those things will be part of this hearing today i think it will be farreaching broadbased discussion yes. Senator let me ask you this with all conversation about russia, and about jim comey, over the last several months, has this been a distraction for you and your colleagues in terms of executing the agenda . I am talking about health care, tax reform and, of course, the president has discussed infrastructure this week. You know there is no question has taken time attention obviously. At the same time, though we are working very hard to stay focused on our agenda. Which as you say is is vital for our country whether tax reform, Regulatory Burden health care he reform infrastructure all things yes distraction but, at the same time, we work very hard to stay focused on business at hand. What can you us there tell us about that focus in terms of the bill within senate right now on health care. Wleer working to get something ro where we can get at least 50 votes in the sete obviously wh Vice President we can pass it trying to do under budget reconciliation that is challengings we are writing our own bill again we keep our eye focused on the goal that is to make sure that people have access to health care and more Affordable Health Care Insurance working towards. When would you expect the bill to turn into legislation, i mean when are you expecting to get this done . I know, we want to be careful about setting a deadline the goal is to build that consensus and pass it i hope we get it done. Before the august recess we dont want to set hard fast timeline. Mitch mcconnell said he wants it will by july 4 weekend right . [laughter] i think he would like that we want to be careful about setting hardandfast deadline. Let me ask you about tax reform, senator where are you on that . Well there are i think of we are optimistic we are quite anxious to get to it for a lot of us that is something is that we will with want to get focused on we want to move to as soon as possible. And i believe we will get it done this year. What are the big issues there . Walk us through what some of the issues are that the debate is taking place around. Well, one of the Biggest Challenges is that neutral in terms of the debt and deficit, and do you use dynamic scoring if you go to dynamic scoring meaning that if you lower the tax ratings make fair and simple you get Economic Growth generators revenue rather than from higher tax rates if allowed to use dynamic scoring our task is much easier i believe it really works may be combine with infrastructure pae try to get colleagues on the otheside of the aisle to actualoin with us on something the kind of approach i really have been pushing i hope we get to. Maria you want revenue in the tax bill some revenue whether borderadjustment tax, or corporate rates that is not 15 is that what you are saying you want you are in the camp that wants revenue . I will be carefully here i want lower taxes i am saying you will get revenue from Economic Growth with lower taxes that is called dynamic scoring rather than statisticig scoring cbo uses i think a have a republican concept that is how how we get our economy growing and growing create more jobs lower taxes. Maria you believe we will see growth once we start generating growth will help pay for a it. Bingo remember doing through budget reconciliation that is why an issue scoring is issue in order to meet rules of the senate. Great point you make let me ask you this senator can you put to rest, some of the speculation that you guys are not getting anything done in 2017 . I mean are we just talking about a difference in corporate rate or couple deductions that may go or may stay . Like you said revenue. Neutral. Or are we talking about the possibility that no tax reform happens are we just talking about a change in corporate rates here . Put to rest any speculation out there you get nothing done this year. We are already we have already made Real Progress on reducing the Regulatory Burden that is real affects every Small Business across the country helping our economy going to by an with what i believe real tax reform i hope infrastructure package allimportant to grow economy create jobs. Down the you have under 40 days left when workingays you are going to get all this done in 40 days . I have got my fingers crossed working hard on it every day. Do we need more than fingers crossed senator can you put to rest speculation. We need hard work we have to stay at it, it would be nice if we could give colleagues on the other side of the aisle to work with us we are trying. Will you be able to do that they want to obstruct dont want agenda executed you want really rely on that right. I believe we will, i am committed to doing it. Senator good to have you on practice many thanks so much. Thanks, maria.

Dean ornish thanks for joining us what is your solution for cutting the skyrocketing cost of health care. That is a good question, all of our work is based on the very simple idea to say what is the cost, turns out that 86 of 3. 2 trillion dollars we spent last year on health care, kron ive beening diseases largely accountability prevalent reversible. We have done studies showing that simply Lifestyle Changes eat well whole foods plant based diet more of more interest family ties community cannot only prevent but reverse most common chronic di found it can reverse Heart Disease diabetes Prostate Cancer change lifestyle gene turns on good genes off bad genes writes into chromosomes. We know all this stuff dont do it. Turns out 5 people account for up to 80 Health Care Costs the people we work with so people i think it has to be a new drug laser hightech expensive so we partner with a company, medicare covering program many Insurance Companies are creating a paradigm of health care rather than sick care showing people onlio can prevent reverse diseases not only good for you but saves money high market cost cut overall Health Care Costs in half mulute omaha saved almost 30,000 per Patient First year if you want to make Health Care Affordable available to people we need to really get to the cause of why most people get sick large degree he Lifestyle Changes. Dagen i am living proof i had a lifelong chronic gi problem incredibly painful instances rather than going on some drug that might give me a heart defect or horrible side effects i became vegetable tar january svegetarian six years ago changed my life my problem went away with change in diet there is a lightness, and working this Early Morning shift for so many years, luckily i didnt gain a lot of weight.

Dagen you dont have to be a vegan can be vegetarian is not fat fatty meet less dangerous than we used to think given recent medical literature. Not really not all or nothing we found to directing you make changes there is a corresponding benefit more you change better you feel you feel you want to keep doing it the more you change, the more diseases we look at more underlying mechanisms we study more reasons to explain, why these are worth doing not all or nothing i wrote a spectrum based on on finding more you change more you improve if trying to reverse an illness that is pounds of cure. There is a book saying the war on fat was misguided. I think the nice thing about research why i spent 40 years doing Research Published leading adjourns unfortunately, she hasnt helpful people start out what is true you what isnt the directing you move towards plant based diet healthier. A journalist citi peer review medical studies.

That is true, lifting the Regulatory Burden on this country is one of our Top Priorities one of the best things we could do to get more jobs created in this country, grow our economy, create more opportunity that is why we have made it a corner stone along with other you know issues like tax reform and Health Care Reform but Regulatory Burden has been suffocating holding down Economic Activity and innovation in america. Explain the choice act why the choice act is important in terms of doing just that. Right, the choice act is lifting the Regulatory Burden imposed by doddfrank included more accountability, no more bailouts of wall street, but really focusing on what is going to take to ensure that people in this country hardworking americans, have access to credit i was just out in davin Port Washington small town Eastern Washington on main street, it was it was a topic of conversation that local bankers, Credit Unions did not the ability to offer loans to main street to farmers so important we have lost on average, one Community Bank every day, since doddfrank was passed. Incredible, connect the dots how this leads to Economic Growth. Well, what we are doing is that we are i think we are picket it be accountability where it belongings, and you think about the the small wlending institutions that Community Banks Credit Unions that are so important you think about someone trying to get a loan, the key to getting ahead at times, because of the Regulatory Burden, so often you go into local bank even they didnt have flexibility to make a decision, even if they thought it was best in the best interests and that you should qualify the Regulatory Burden was such that they didnt have the ability to do that. And it was a topdown approach. Maria we want to talk more about agenda a because obviously Congress Working hard on repealing and replacing weve got now the bill in the senate, there are growing concerns, though things like, for example, today, jim comeys hearing getting in the way of achieving those goals, has this been a distraction . I for me, and for the house we are focused on getting our job done we recognize that we have a lot of work to do we have a very aggressive agenda, that we put together, a beginning of the year the house has at an taken action to repeal and replace obamacare important action to overhaul doddfrank going to work on tax reform working on it for many weeks and months we are anxious to move forward with legislation. And we believe that we just have to keep passing the bills, and continue to work with the senate and administration, so that we can get more done. Maria reef we had Kevin Mccarthy on yesterday said the same but what i asked him was you have less than 40 days, in terms of of the working days that you are there, with your colleagues in the senate. Can you put to rest the speculation or thor would out there that in fact you wont get this stuff done, and you lose the house next year . Or are we talking about about debating corporate rates on tax, debating revenue neutral is this just a debate and ultimately you come to agreement or is there a real risk here that you dont get tax reform done . Doing big things is not easy. For me this is a window of opportunity. That we have been given as republicans in the house, and the senate, along with President Trump and the white house this is a time that we must act, we have been talking for years about many of these proposals many of these important priorities, that are going to help hardworking americans all across the country so we have to get it done i am encouraged. I am encouraged by what i hear in the senate, working every day, with a goal of Getting Health Care out on next few weeks. And we are committed to tax reform we must get tax reform done this is a once in a Generation Opportunity and we have been talking about it for many, many years we need to get this is a time for action. Maria mow come the senate always wants to start from scratch on everything you have been working right you have been working even on the roll back in regulations, talkinghoi senate saying we are going to start again do our own bill on on reratinging rolling back regs. Perhaps you need to ask that of the senators, i am very proud to be a member of the house we are the peoples house, we are closest to the people and i am proud to vote the work that we have done that focused on what is going to take actually create jobs create opportunities, and help people all across th country have a better li. Maria are we hope you get it done appreciate your time this he more ofteningo morning thanks so much, keep it right here fox Business Network taking you police, to d. C.
