Lord knows they can use some of that. There is reports today that republican lawmakers are considering canceling august recess to make progress on health care and tax reform. Is this talk or are lawmakers serious about getting work done. If they can do this, what does it mean for tax reform . Were on it. First back to our top story, President Trump tweeting on friday, quote, i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director, witchhunt. His lawyer doubling down today saying that the president is not under investigation. Watch him here. Have you been he notified of an investigation . The answer as i said yesterday is no. The situation on friday that created the press coverage over the weekend was in response to a Washington Post story that had five Anonymous Sources. So in one sense, could you imagine if the president didnt have the opportunity to respond . He should have have the opportunity to respond of course. Trish joining me right now fox news anchor and former defense attorney gregg jarrett. Gregg, the president tweeted out im being investigated for, and then his attorney is saying no, he is not being investigated for anything. What is it . Well i think it is reasonable of the president was reacting to this huge Washington Post story in which they had alleged based on five sources i believe, anonymously, that he was being investigated for obstruction of justice. Then there was media hysteria over the whole thing for several days. The president was just reracketting to those allegations. I dont think anybody knows except Robert Mueller and rod rosenstein, the acting attorney general on the matter whether he is being investigated for obstruction. Maybe he is, maybe he isnt. Tris wou at some point it would get back to trump . No, it would not, unless you receive a target letter. It is questionable whether you can charge a president while in office. The law on that is rather ambiguous. Trish it is possible they could be digging around, not tell him about it . Could be. Trish so it is unclear what is going on . You do have all the sources telling the Washington Post one thing, we should keep if mind, important thing to address with you as well, you have sources deep within the government that have no interest in seeing this president succeed and want to do everything they can to make sure he is investigated in their view. Look, the Washington Post and cnn both got big stories completely wrong. Then it turned out it was proven so. So you cant always rely on the media to get it right. Nobodys perfect, but when you go with Anonymous Sources really not identified in any way, that raises a big red flag in my mind. So, im not sure we even know whether it has gone to obstruction. I dont think there is a case for obstruction if you look at statute. It cant possibly be. Trish certainly what we saw from comey, did not seem to indicate any way there was a case for obstruction. I would just go back to this simple thing. What i dont understand, if james comey believes the president of the United States was standing in the way of an investigation, trying to obstruct justice, didnt he have a duty to do something about it . Shouldnt he have raised his hand, hey, instead of waiting to get fired, raising red flag. It is if you fail to report it to your superiors, department of justice for comey, youre creating a miss prison of felony. That is a crime. It tends to suggest to me comey really knew that the words of the president didnt rise to the level, specific intent of obstruction, bear in mind the president vigorously denies he ever had that particular conversation with james comey. That he did not tell him, i hope you can see your way to letting flynn go. Trish let me ask but the tapes. There has been a lot of questions whether or not there are any tapes. Of course you will recall trump tweeting out essentially there were. Sure. Trish we heard from james comey, he said in his testimony hoped there were, because gosh darn it, he wanted people to hear it. Were supposed to get clarity were told by trumps attorneys on that this week. Do you think there are tapes . I doubt it. I think the president was using a little hyperbole, a hypothetical to kind of taunt comey. Look if youre the president , and you fool like comey just lied about a central issue in a conversation he had with the president at the white house, you know, you would probably be angry enough to say, youre such a liar you better hope there arent any tapes of that conversation. Doesnt mean there are any tapes. You know, i think the president was maybe playing around with comey to see how he might react. Trish well he certainly reacted shall we say. He definitely got the reaction. Gregg, good to see you. Thank you very. Okay. Trish Senate Republicans want to vote on their version of the Gop Health Care bill before the 4th of july recess. Democrats are working to slow down the process. Go to gerri willis. Thats right, with a selfimposed july 4th deadline the senate under the gun big time to get a Health Care Reform bill written quickly. That is a pretty quick deadline but were trying. We obviously got to fix this. We made the promise. People in arizona are really hurting. More than maybe any other state . Terms of those on the exchange. Just completely unaffordable. And tax reform this year . Tax reform this year. Thats the biggie. I do think we will get tax reform this year. We have to. Democrats are plotting ways to slow down the Senate Action to pros it what they say is a closeddoor process. Democrats are upset that the gop replacement bill is being drafted by 13 republican senators and wont allow democrats to participate. Several Top Democrats sent a letter this morning to gop leaders writing, quote, the American Health care act would fundamentally redefine health care in our country. To draft it behind closed doors and pass it without even one hear something nothing short of legislative malpractice and a repudiation of all what the Senate Stands for. According to senior democratic aide, democrats in the senate will slow the process down by debating health care on the floor late into the evening in a series of speeches, by beginning to object to unanimous consent requests. And by objecting to force a housepassed Health Care Bill to committee. Meanwhile republican sources on capitol hill today, theyre expressing confidence the bill would be put forward next week. Their plan though must meet strict requirements of reconciliation, which means it cant bust the budget. As a result, it is likely not all of the 21 taxes imposed by obamacare will be removed. Most likely to stay, 0. 9 medicare payroll tax and 3. 8 surtax on investment income, both imposed on wealthy taxpayers. Trish, even if Senate Republicans are successful getting the bill out to vote, they face an uphill battle getting it passed. The gop majority in the senate is razor thin at 5248. Trish. Trish gerri, thank you very much. As gerri just reported everyone, it will be an uphill battle on this one for the republican Health Care Bill. Were getting reports that some republican lawmakers are considering canceling august recess to make progress on the progrowth agenda which this economy needs. Is this just talk or are gop lawmakers serious about getting something done . Dont they have to . They have midterms coming up. Former labor secretary under president reagan. Good to have you back. What say you, are they committed to this . Do they understand the importance of getting something done otherwise theyre risking a lot for their party and themselves . I think, trish, they finally understand it is time to put up or shut up. The midterms are right around the corner and they can not afford to have a Health Care Bill taxed and possibly a repeal bill. Trish how do they get this done . Do they stay through their recess . Does it happen soon . Or do we run the risk, they go off, take vacation, have to address it in the fall. I think words im looking for are sense of urgency. I have not seen that sense of urgency up until now. The threat of having to stay through the sumter get it done is beginnings of seeing paul ryan and Mitch Mcconnell finally understand if they dont get something done here they will not be leading either one of the chambers in about one year. So if this does get done, does it then pave the way for other stuff . That is one of the critical components to it all, right . I know youre very much for tax reform and you want to see that happen, but, we kept, we have been told over and over again, you need the tax savings from repeal and replace in order to get any kind of meaningful tax reform through. Right. This is tricky stuff. Let me just begin to say, that they have really dug a hole for themselves because i think, trish, the source of the problem is they got the sequencing wrong. They should have started with something they could have built momentum around like infrastructure, got some consensus from schumer and some democrats. Trish even though it meant spending money. Absolutely. This is washington, we have 20 trillion in deficit. Now is not the time to become worried about spending money, right . Trish im always worried about what were spending. I dont like the idea we have 20 trillion in debt. I dont know what kind of hangover were leaving for our kids al. I know you want to get things done. My question would be better if we work on these simultaneously, because it is sticks and carrots and carrots in this case are infrastructure and get folks like pelosi and Chuck Schumer on board for that, you give us this we give you that . I would run health care and infrastructure in parallel. I think there is a deal somewhere. The democrats do not want obamacare to collapse. President trump should have waited for it to collapse. There is deal with Infrastructure Spending and health care they could get done. Both sides declare some sort of victory. You leave the big fight for tax cuts. Trish they doesnt do it, right . Were in a situation where they need to get repeal and replace through. Youre confident that is going to happen . Yeah, i think so. Because if it doesnt, the consequences are real bad. Trish indeed they are. Well, on that note, al, thank you very much. That brings us to the next story that were following. Georgia, all eyes on georgia to fill special election to fill the house seat vacated by tom price. It is turning out to be the most expensive house contest in history. You know what it has become . It has become a litmus test for President Trump and one of the most consequential special elections weve seen in decades. The democrats feel like they got a real shot here. And looking at the polls, they might. So could a 30yearold filmmaker actually take this seat away from a republican . We got the intel. I will see you here next.

Welcome to holiday inn whether for big meetings or little getaways, there are always smiles ahead at holiday inn. Trish check own these markets here. Theyre looking pretty good.

Apple, microsoft, alphabet, that is google, remember, they are moving higher. Amazon hitting an alltime high today over its purchase of whole foods which, ill tell you, it is going to be remarkable to see the changes that could potentially be coming to the food industry. You think what they did to the book industry. How we shop for food may soon completely change. I want to get to this, the most expensive house race in history. It is down to the final days in georgia. Democrat jon ossoff is trying to ride what dems perceive as wave of antitrump sentiment. He is trying to take a seat held by republicans all the way back to 1979. This is a state even Newt Gingrich held. But you have republican karen handel, seeing her party spend millions of dollars on her behalf so how is she going to do here . This race is very important. President trump is on a weighing in taking sides on twitter. Let me share with you what he is saying. Democrats want to stop tax cuts, Good Health Care and border security. Vote now for karen h. Joining me is conservative commentator gina loudon, former chair of the d. C. Democratic party scott bolden. Lets take a step back here, gina, explain to the viewer why this has become a hot race . Why everyone is watching it, and why its being seen as some kind of a litmus test. Well, if its a litmus test it is sure an expensive litmus test. This is almost amusing if it werent so unsavory, trish. Democrats apparently think 1. 5, 1. 5 points, can be purchased for the low, low price of 23 million. But here as the problem for the democrats. They cant replicate this in 2018, trish. They cant spend 23 million for every 1. 5 points they want to buy. So, i think the voters might send them a message. Trish scott, i, they think they have an inch here. So theyre spending all money they can. I dont know if the candidate. He is not especially compelling. But theyre hope is people are getting fed up with donald trump and getting fed up with republicans. I think it is a pretty big hope though. Walk us through what you anticipate happening and, you know, if they dont win this one, because, i dont know theyre going to despite millions of dollars they spent, what signal does that send back to the democrats. My colleague, i agree with her, if democrats dont win, it will be pretty expensive loss quite frankly because i mean, money on both sides is coming in from all ovethcountry. If i were e republicans would be more concned e fact ossoff raised about 20 million on his own from small donations. That is always important. It doesnt mean youre going to win. But heres the deal, every race is different. The fact that the democrats are even in play here is incredible but theyre are no emotional victories in regard to the midterms and litmus test media and money has made this. So, the strategy here is that Donald Trumps core supporters are going to vote republican. The challenge for the democrat is, those electorate base, moderate republicans part of that 30 of approval or the 60 disapprove donald trump is doing, are they going to be that disappointed in donald trump, that embarrassed to go with a democrat this time . If so trish i will be completely objective here. I think he still has a base is, is out there for him, and will show up. That said, when you look at some of the early voting, gina, which typically tends to favor the left, early voting is off the charts. Theyre seeing a lot of people have come through. That is something that could work in the lefts camp but, you know, i would be awfully surprised here if she doesnt actually take it . Yeah. And i think that the voters dont like this idea that outside money and in this particular case, were talking about 97 of the money can buy their vote. I think that, i think that voters have continually sent a message back to washington, d. C. , that they want to handle their own elections and their own, you know, they want their own representation in washington, d. C. They dont want to be bought. And so i think a lot of times when we see this disproportionate spending on part of democrats to try to buy a seat the voters push back. That is not true, trish. Republicans and superpac are literally dumping money into trish everybody is spending a lot of money. Talk about why that is. Scott, theyre spending money, the left is spending money there, they need this, they want this. They want to get people excited again. This is what they have lost, right, excitement . This is is being largest embarassment for the republicans since donald trump was elected. You know the first ones not being able to Pass Health Care and passing it on two or three efforts. Trish wow. No, no the embarassment this district will go democratic, can you believe that . Unbelievable well see if that happens. Turning over in his grave. The embarassment, scott, they know they can win this fair and square, go against their own mantra, were the party of little man. Theyre not the party of the little man and this race is case in point. And the voters are not going to be fooled. Were party for everybody, if you will. Democrats have a chance. Trish thank you very much. Russia threatening to shoot down u. S. Warplanes operating in syria today after the u. S. Downed a syrian jet on sunday. A major escalation, frankly. U. S. Standing firm vowing to continue air operations over syria. So what does ts mean for our relationship with russia . Are we heading into some kind of a proxy war . We have all the intel on this very important story. See you right here after this.
