Economy keep up the pace of swift job creation . We get a look at the labor market this morning when the July Jobs Report is released. Economists are expecting 190,000 new positions. The Unemployment Rate is expected to tick down to 3. 9 . It rose in june as more than 600,000 americans got off the sidelines and entered the labor market looking for work. The big mystery has been wages. That number expected to hold steady at 2. 7 annual rate. Wages have been stuck in that range for the past three years. As the labor market tightens, wages rise, but the growth has been slow since the great recession. Wall street is looking at where the jobs are created. So far no signs that tariffs are slowing down the economy, but this will mark the first big economic report of the Third Quarter following strong Economic Growth in the second quarter. First daughter and president ial adviser ivanka trump is breaking from the fath fathers rhetoric of the media. She does not agree with the characterization as the press is the enemy of the people. I received my fair share of reporting on me personally that i know not to be fully accurate. So, i had some sensitivity around why people have concerns and gripe especially when they feel targeted. No, i dont feel the media is
the enemy of the people. Hours later, the president put his spin on ivankas remarks. Tweeted saying she is right. It is actually the fake news that is the enemy of the people. President trumps oldest son is comparing the Democratic Party philosophy to nazi, germany. Don junior was interviewed at the premiere of a new movie for dsouza. Listen to this.

revolutionary guard corps. The commander of the corps in the last week and month prior has gone on the record and said clearly if Iran Cannot Export Oil Products from the region through the straits of hormuz, then no one will be able to do. It has been echoed by the president of iran and Supreme Leader of iran. Right now, no official comment from iranians. That is a concern. Are they putting meat on the bones of the rhetoric we have been hearing recently. President trump has warned them of serious consequences if they follow through. In the region here, we are not hearing anything from regional players here. For example, here in the United Arab Emirates on the gulf of oman, they built a pipeline the past couple of decades that bypasses Strait Of Hormuz for
that reason. It could get shutdown for military action. Everyone watching closely what the iranians are doing. Not clear of the intent. Kaylee. Is there any bite behind that bark. Nic, thank you.

our democracy itself is in the crosshairs. We acknowledge the threat. It is real. We are being hindered by the russian hoax. Its a hoax. The president dismissing the Russia Investigation even after his own top officials warned that russia is still meddling in u. S. Elections. The July Jobs Report is due out this morning. Why unemployment is expected to tick down but wage growth remains stalled. Welcome back to early start. Im kaylee hartung. Ill say one last time it is friday. 5 31 eastern time. Im dave briggs. Papa dont preach. On how ivanka trump is speaking out against things she cares about. We start with the russia
meddling our election systems. If you listen to the president talk about it and his top intel officials, there is a disconnect about it. The president ranting hours after the officials called out the kremlin for interfering in the 2018 midterms. At the rally in pennsylvania, the president touted the Helsinki Summit With Putin and ignoring the russian attacks on american democracy. We got along really well. By the way, thats a good thing not a bad thing. Now were being hindered by the russian hoax. Everybody said, wow, that was great. A couple hours later, i started Hearing Reports that they wanted me to walk up. They wanted me to walk up and go like this. Son of a shadow boxing. A hobby we didnt know the president has. Hours earlier, key members of the National SecurityTeam Appeared in the White House Briefing room to warn the country the Russian Election interference is ongoing. In regards to the russian involvement in the midterm elections, we continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by russia to try to weaken and divide the united states. Russia attempted to interfere with the last election and continues to engage and malign influence operations to this day. Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs. Free and Fair Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. It is clear they are the target of our adversaries to sow discord and undermine our life. Director of National Intelligence dan coats told reporters he still doesnt fully understand what took place in the oneonone meeting with trump and Vladimir Putin in helsinki. Joining us to talk about it is editor harry enton. It is a key point that they are addressing it. It is a security issue, but is this an issue in the upcoming midterms . Obviously, if russia were to hack our election system, that would be a big deal. Voters dont think it is a big deal. If you look at the important issues, what you see is Russia Hacking is down right at the very bottom of the list. Economy, health care, gun policy. You name it. This is from the cnn poll in may. We have seen throughout the Russia Investigation is very steady numbers where people do not like what President Trump is doing, but at the same time, they dont think it is important. You have this back and forth and hear the bad news from russia, but voters are dismissing it and putting it in another corner. We expect President Trump to inject himself in the midterm
races. In the i honterview with sean hanni hannity, he said six or seven days a week, he will would be on the road stumping for folks. Karl rove has an opinion about the impact it will have. Listen. It will be smart in many contests for the president to absent himself from the scene and let candidates shine through. If i like trump, ill vote for the person who stands with trump. If im not hot on trump, let me make a decision with the two people on the ballot. Harry, your reaction. The president was last night in pennsylvania with lou. The president s Approval Rating is below the disApproval Rating in pennsylvania. I agree with karl rove in that particular race. A lot of house races where his rating is below the Approval Rating, it is smart. There will be senate races in north dakota and West Virginia and indiana with the president

The president attempted to tweet about the 12th congressional race, but mixed up candidates deleted the tweet. Lets under score how crucial the race is on tuesday. Set the stage. This is a Congressional District represented by republicans since the 80s. John kasich represented it before. This is a district that donald trump won by double digits. We have seen this in the special elections where you have the deeply republican districts and they seem to be going democrats. Historically sp
