Overnight. So, whats behind this surprise cameo from one of the worlds most famous pop stars . The show so big it crashed the internet. Good morning, america. Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend and we know that a lot of you stayed up late to watch game of thrones. A lot of reaction pouring in to ed sheerans cameo. Turns out one of the stars, maisie williams, huge fan so why not . They brought him on to surprise her. He ate a squirrel. Had some fun. A lot of fans were having fun at his expense as well. More on that coming up. Also this morning, we have that new poll from abc news and the Washington Post that points to stark troubles for President Trump. His Approval Rating just 36 , the lowest ever for a president at the sixmonth point. Fewer than one in four americans says the president s behavior is fitting and proper. 70 call it unpresident ial. When asked about tweeting habits, 68 of americans disapprove, 24 approve and one in five called them refreshing. The president taking to twitter to defend his son don junior as questions grow about the meeting with that russian lawyer. Our chief White House Correspondent jon karl is there in washington with the latest for us. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, robin, after his trip to paris and a weekend spent watching golf at his new jersey resort, the president is back here at the white house fending off new questions related to the russia investigation. The president appeared relaxed and in good spirits watching the u. S. Womens golf open over the weekend at his new jersey club. But he is fuming about the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 campaign. The president s lawyer making it clear who the president believes is leading what he calls a witchhunt. Is he saying that the Mueller Investigation is part of a witchhunt . Yes, look how it started and as it relates to the president. Reporter the president is now also lashing out at those raising questions about his eldest son don junior and the june 2016 team meeting between members of trumps inner circle and a russian lawyer that was held at trump tower tweeting, my son don is being scorned by the fake news media. Fake news is distorting democracy. But new details emerged even after don junior himself released emails about the meeting. Do we now know everything about the meeting, who was there and what followup there was . The meeting in and of itself of course as i have said before is not a violation of the law. The president was not aware of the meeting and did not participate in it. Reporter we know not just one but two wellconnected russians were in that meeting, arranged with a promise of providing damaging information about Hillary Clinton. A russian lawyer aligned with the kremlin and a russianamerican lobbyist who was once an officer in a soviet counterintelligence unit. This is about as clear evidence as you could find by intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. Reporter 60 of americans think it was inappropriate. The president has said he would testify under oath about all of this. Would you be willing to speak under oath to give your version of the events . 100 . Reporter but his lawyer said he doesnt think the testimony will happen. The president you. Dont think it would happen. He said he would do it at this point we have no indication whatsoever of an investigation of the president with regard to any of this. Reporter i also asked the president s lawyer if the president would consider pardoning the key figures in this investigation. People like former National Security adviser michael flynn, his former Campaign Chairman paul manafort. Many democrats fear he will do that. The president s lawyer said he hasnt talked to the president about that but certainly didnt rule it out saying, quote, he can pardon individuals, of course, thats because the founders of our country put that in the constitution, the power to pardon. Robin. Well wait to see if that happens. Well have to still wait on this Health Care Vote because its been put on hold again. Reporter its been put on hold because senator john mccain had surgery and its expected hell take a week or more to recover. Robin, i think its quite possible this Health Care Vote gets delayed until after the summer sometime in september. That is quite possible. All right, jon, thank you. Lets get more from matthew dowd. Matt joins us this morning. Lets dig into the poll more. The partisan divide as wide as ever. Put up this number First Showing 82 of republicans support President Trump right now but only 11 of democrats. The real trouble for President Trump there is that independents number, though, only 32 support. Yorj, that independent number that was basically roughly even and now donald trump has a minus 27 net number among independents. This divide, though, is really important. Its grown over the last 25 years from where it used to be, 40 points between the in party and out party, now its 70 points plus, that makes it a very difficult process for either side to get anything done as divided as we are. And as bad shape as President Trump is in, not a lot of good news for democrats, either. 37 of americans think the Democratic Party actually stands for something, has an agenda. More than half say theyre just standing up against the president. Well, we have washington, d. C. , where the president is unpopular, both major parties are unpopular. Congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle are unpopular and all the institutions in washington are unpopular with the american people. As i said yesterday, its Marvel Comics movies. Where we have all villains and no superheroes. And not a lot of popularity for that Health Care Bill either. Jon karl just said it could be put off now until september if it ever gets the votes at all. But this number really is stunning in the poll. Right now, 50 of americans support obamacare, only 24 support the repeal, more than 21 right there. It is hard to imagine really pushing this kind of legislation that is this unpopular. Weve never seen that before. No, we havent. As you remember with obamacare, at least it was roughly even when it started then it dipped over the years and the only thing the interesting thing, george, donald trump has done something barack obama was never able to do, donald trump has made Obamacare Popular and president obama was never able to do that. When you start this low usually you only go lower and it puts a lot of pressure on those republican senators that are moderates in those states where people do not like this republican proposal. Real quickly, you and i both served in white houses. The sixmonth point usually a point where president s shake things up if theyre not going well. Whats the single thing he could do to start to turn this around . Well, as we saw from the poll, a big part of whats driving his negativity, george, is his tweeting and the way he communicates. If all he did was adjust that i think he would begin to rise. He doesnt seem to be willing to do that. So far nothing yet this morning. Okay, matt dowd, thanks very much. George, one of the high points for President Trump in our latest poll, the economy. 43 say they approve of how hes handling it while 41 say they do not. Wall street appearing to react positively, the dow closing at a record high on friday, a lot of eyes are on the market this morning. And our chief business and economics correspondent, rebecca jarvis, is there at the New York Stock Exchange with the details. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter good morning, robin. Thats right, wall street sees this white house as probusiness. Thats whats helped propel stocks to new record highs. The prospect of tax reform, deregulation, an infrastructure program, all of these things that business uses positive, with them the market continues to rally but without them many investors are concerned about whether or not all of the rally weve seen so far is really justified. Also put all of this into context, since the great recession, since the market bottomed in 2009, stocks are now up more than 200 . And since the rally began this year and stocks have added 1. 7 trillion in value, onethird of that value has come from just four companies amazon, apple, alphabet, the Parent Company of google and facebook and, robin, the concern is that if any of those companies waiver, so goes the stock market, robin. As you often tell us, the stock market does not like uncertainty. All right, rebecca, thanks so much. Okay, robin, well turn to that deadly storm that swept across arizona taking the lives of nine Family Members in a horrifying flash flood and ginger is here with the details. Good morning.

This is the chilling moment a flash flood overtakes a family outing in arizona. Theres the son over there and the moms in the water. Reporter a man struggling to hang on to his son. 14 members of one family celebrating a birthday at this Swimming Hole when a 40foot wave of black water crashed over them. Nine of them dead this morning. Including six children between the ages of 2 and 13. One still missing. Its my brother. He has to be found. I cant stop looking until hes found. It came on them very quick and there was no reaction time. This is the worst flash flood accident weve had. Reporter driving, monsoon rains up to an inch and a half per hour causing the washout. This time lapse shows the intensity of one of them kicking up dust further south. The Flash Flood Watch in place for storms this afternoon and evening and could happen again. It could take an inch per hour and very quickly the water will come down in the blue, south of flagstaff through phoenix and tucson, an afternoon and evening but beginning of monsoon storm season so could see 3 plus inches in some of these spots.

I am heartsick and deeply disturbed. I have a lot of questions about why the body cameras werent on. Reporter the neighborhood had three lights mounted on telephone poles between ju justines house and the alley. Most garages had motion detection lights.

A month ago, the officer in that case was acquitted. Justines fiance was away on a business trip when she was killed. Investigators are still scouring the area for possible security video hoping maybe the shooting was caught on camera. In the meantime, so many questions about what happened.

Reporter federer now the oldest man to win in the 170year history and paused to appreciate the moment. It is cruel sometimes but he fought well and he is a hero so congratulations on a wonderful tournament, marin, and you should be really proud.
