mediabud@foxnews.com. we'll look for you online and continue the conversation and we're back here next sunday same time same place at 11:00 and 5:00 eastern with the latest buzz. a fox news alert. donald trump is back on u.s. soil after his whirlwind trip to scotland which happened to coincide with great britain's historic vote to leave the european union. the presumptive republican nominee and analysts are drawing comparisons between the brexit decision and his own populist campaign here in the u.s. hello, everyone. welcome to america's election headquarters. i'm arthel neyville. >> hi, eric. >> and hello, everyone. i'm eric shawn. mr. trump cheered the decision to leave the eu behind even as he comes home finding himself to take a new hit in the polls. brand new surveys taken before the brexit show the showing him losing more ground to hillary
9:01 am
clinton. take a look at the real clear politics average for most june. it shows mr. trump trailing by more than six points. where does it go from here? kristen fisher is watching the campaign and the polls from our washington bureau. hi, kristen. >> reporter: hey, hello. two new polls out this morning and both give hillary clinton the advantage, but by drastically different margins. an nbc news/"wall street journal" poll has clinton ahead by five points, 46 to 41 but an abc news oh, "washington post" point has clinton ahead by 12 points, 51-39 so trump is down in the polls. he hasn't raised a lot of money and his campaign is organizationally way behind when compared to clinton's. this morning trump new's campaign manager paul manafort spun it like this. >> we have state organizations that are in place. we have our campaign plans in place. we have our budgets in place, and we have -- the good thing is we have a candidate who doesn't need to figure out what's going on in order to say what he wants to do so our campaign is organized. we're ready. we're going to have a good
9:02 am
convention. >> but there are rumors of renewed efforts to try to stop trump from becoming the republican nominee at the convention, rumors that trump shot down yesterday as being entirely fabricated by the press. >> it's all made up by the press. >> no, it's not. >> they can't do it legally. >> john, let me tell you. we've known for a year. i've beat 16 or 17 people. it's fought out. i get, as we said, the highest number of votes in the history of the republican primary. >> i understand all that with respect. >> and win 36 or 37 states. >> reporter: trump made those remarks yesterday to our john roberts after wrapping up a two-day tour of his golf course in scotland. trump timed it perfectly to coincide with the british people voting to leave the european union. trump's now hoping the same anti-immigration, anti-establishment currents that helped britain get out of the eu will help him get into the white house. arthel and eric. >> kristen, thanks so much. >> eric, well, we take you to the democratic side now where
9:03 am
hillary clinton is hitting the campaign trail in new york city. her event starting just a few minutes ago. it comes as secretary clinton releases a new set of general election ads attacking donald trump's leadership skills. meanwhile, senator bernie sanders still not giving up the fight for the democratic nomination even as he admits he'd vote for hillary clinton. mike emanuel is live now in indianapolis where clinton is planning to speak to the u.s. conference of mayors later today. h hey, mike. >> rep issues is the brexit vote in britain and what it means for our election here in the u.s. and whether voters in this country may want massive change as well. on "fox news sunday" hillary clinton's campaign manager offered this assessment. >> voters here in the united states are incredibly frustrated. there aren't enough new jobs getting created. wages aren't rising, so people are very, very from us trade, and the next president is going to have to address that issue,
9:04 am
and i think this -- the brexit event is actually very instructive. >> reporter: a new abc news/"washington post" poll reveals hillary clinton surging to a 12-point lead over donald trump. trump was leading by two points in that very same poll in mid-may. there's also tremendous buzz about who could be clinton's running mate with massachusetts senator elizabeth warren getting attention. tomorrow warren will campaign with clinton in ohio and people will be looking for any signs of chemistry. another potential running mate did not want to talk about his chances. >> i got one job and one job only right now and that is to -- to work hard for hillary clinton so she can win and especially in virginia. that's the area where i've been helping her. >> let me ask you this. >> and that's where i'm going to help her. >> reporter: so, of course, this hour hillary clinton marching in the gay pride parade in new york city. she will be hon her way to indianapolis to speak to the nation's mayors. arthel? >> mike emanuel, thanks a lot,
9:05 am
mike. >> reporter: sure. >> in the suddenly resuffield europe what comes next. secretary of state john kerry is in rome and is going to london and brussels starting tomorrow as the eu nations scramble to face this new reality. the foreign ministers from the eu six founding states are demanding the uk leave the union as quickly as possible, adding that talks on the exit must begin promptly, and they are urging a new british prime minister be installed quickly. all the remaining 27 eu nations will also meet in brussels on tuesday. what can we expect? ambassador john bolton is here as always. former u.s. ambassador to the united nations and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute and fox news contributors. they are going to circle the wagons but can they stop the stampede? >> the political leaders of many of the eu countries are still in shock over this decision and the british referendum, i think, was the most historic event on the continent of europe, at least since the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 and maybe since the
9:06 am
defeat of germany in 1945. it -- it is a revolution. there's nothing -- there's no other way really that can characterize it, and it will have a profound impact. this is not going to be the european union as it was before only minus britain. it's like an earthquake that's reverberating through the eu, so these statements that you hear from their -- the six foreign ministers of the original eu members has been the public position, hard line. the brits need to get out. you know, if you needed any understanding of why the brits wanted to leave, listen to the french foreign minister who is saying we need a new british prime minister right now. we want these negotiations to start right now. who is this guy? nobody in britain elected him. we'll get -- the brits will get to it when they are ready to get to it, but i think there are other currents here as well. german business leaders and others have said, look, we don't want the terms of trade to change. this is important for our
9:07 am
economies as well as the brits and yesterday mrs. merkel was -- chancellor merkel was saying things that indicate her views may be more accommodationist so i think there's a lot to watch here. >> is it more significant than what they say? is this the breakdown of the post world war ii order of the united states influence that we've lived with over the last 70 years? >> no. i think it could be a fundamental restructuring in the eu. i think that's an entirely good thing, at least if you believe in self-government. the fact is that security on the european connent since world war ii and certainly since the founding of nato has been the presence of the united states and our nuclear umbrella. nobody should worry that europe is going to become more unstable because this sclertic international institution called the european union is under challenge. there's lots of reforms other member countries will seek, and i think there are some countries, starting with sweden,
9:08 am
that might seek to leave. there's been a poll in sweden before the british vote saying if the brits vote to leave what would you do with respect to sweden and a majority said sweden should leave and then you add denmark, the netherlands, possibly france, possibly italy, the czech republic, hungary. this list gets pretty long. >> well, they start off falling like an onion, i mean if all the layers keep falling away. what does that mean in the long run? vladimir putin yesterday was in beijing meeting with the chinese leaders there, and, i mean, they are starting -- there's an asian group, 57 flakeses, an asian infrastructure investment bank, starting over there so is their power riseing? does this help putin and embolden him at the expense of europe and our interests? >> no, i really don't think so. i think what's happening between russia and china, the possibility that sovereign nation states could re-emerge
9:09 am
democratically elected is a positive, and i don't think you can equit the european union with europe. there are two entirely different things and what the brexit referendum showed and what popular opinion is in many european countries is that the institutions, the governance institutions of the european union have served their purpose and would best be dispensed with and if you could simply revert to the idea as the re-u as a trade union you'd be miles ahead. >> the european union is not europe. very interesting words and a take for us to keep in mind as we go through the turbulence of the next few weeks. ambassador john bolton, thank you. always good to see you. >> thank you, eric. >> absolutely. arthel? >> well, the winds are dying down in central california giving firefighters a much-needed assist in their battle against a raging wildfire. that fire has burned more than 150 homes and claimed at least two lives and those numbers
9:10 am
could rise. authorities found what a appeared to be a set of human remains in a mobile home that went up quickly when flames tore through. homeowners across the fire region are in shock at the devastation. >> fire before, but not of this magnitude, and when you hear people say it sounds like a freight train, it sounds like a freight train. >> you feel grateful that you were smard, but y -- you were s and you look around you at the devastation, it's just horrific. these people had a house yesterday morning when they got up and now they don't. >> a house yesterday and now they don't. >> this fire, by the way, has burned more than 50 square miles with 2,500 homes still threatened. california governor jerry brown has declared a state of emergency. and turning from fire to water and the devastating flooding in west virginia that has killed at least 24 people? crews now assessing the damage to homes and businesses.
9:11 am
president obama offering federal help signing a disaster declaration for the three hardest hit counties. garrett tenney is reporting live from west virginia. garrett? >> reporter: yeah, arthel. search and rescue operations are still under way here in clendenin and for most folks this is all about recovery and cleanup. i want to show you why that's proving to be such a difficult challenge for people though. where i am, this is a driveway for this home, but right in front of this, this used to be a bridge that would allow them to come from the road across this creek over to here. this was a steel and concrete bridge. well, a couple days ago when this flooding started, this creek was -- which is normally dry, was completely filled up. about 100 yards up the road there were several homes completely swept away by this, carried down on this river and then slammed into this bridge,
9:12 am
knocking it over, carrying it downstream. the owner of this home, she was on the porch when this whole thing was happening, and she caught video of this, and i want you to see. there's always one home right there behind the flower pot that hit the bridge and then you can see a second homecoming down the stream and backing into that as well. after that a car that just puts the last finish touch and clearing the bridge out from there. now, can you see, this creek is normally completely dry. now, this is what's left. all of these pieces of home, debris and today folks from this neighborhood are coming down all along the stream, and they are looking in piles like this all along for any belongings. we've seen family pictures here as well, and that's one of the main things that people have said they are looking for. these family mementos. you see, this ladder here. this family has been doing to get to the home, climb down the ladder and walking across the creek and then back up the hill just to get in and out, so this
9:13 am
is very much a -- the federal disaster declaration, good news for them because it will help them along. 300 national guard troops are here on the ground now helping as well and folks say they need all the help they can get. arthel? >> those images are unbelievable. thank you, garrett, for giving us a good perspective of what those folks are suffering through there. garrett tenney, thank you so much. arthel. fallujah has been fully liberated from the islamic state, that from the iraq military today this. comes after the operation there took more than a month. u.s.-led coalition air strikes and militias helped the iraqi army help fight back and regain the city from the terrorist group isis. it was the first city to fall to isis that. happened back in january of 2014. leaders say that iraqi troops will now work to remove the bombs and other ieds that isis
9:14 am
place in the buildings and streets. more than 85,000 fallujah citizens have fled the streets during the fighting and as you'll recall more than 100 troops paid the ultimate sacrifice in fallujah over the fight for the city back in 2004. >> and we do thank them. >> we'll talk about a big decision on abortion tomorrow. a split supreme court is due to rule on a state law that some say puts too much of a burden on women seeking to have the procedure. the details still ahead. and pope francis leading prayers at the turkish border and some critics in turkey accused the pontiff of having a, quote, crusades mentality. we'll tell you what that's about coming up. mutiny in the republican porter. donald trump and gop leaders working to keep their delegates in line as a dramatic convention looms just weeks away. you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure.

9:18 am
9:19 am
restriction on women trying to get access to abortions. the supreme court will decide whether the law places too much burden on them seeking the procedure. will decision comes as a recent poll shows that americans are perfectly split on whether eboringses should be legal. from america's election headquarters we're less than a month away from the presidential conventions which promised drama we've not seen in decades. republicans will go first in cleveland with reports surfacing that the party is trying to keep its grip on delegates who don't want to support donald trump. speaking to our john roberts, mr. trump brushed off those worries. >> i have letters from delegates who are urging other delegates to a motion to unbind delegates and have them vote their conscience at the republican convention solely to stop you from becoming the nominee, so i'm wondering what you think about that. >> well, i have millions of people out there, almost 14 million to be exact, that will
9:20 am
be extremely upset if that happened because -- look, you win. toe have somebody that won in a landslide go out and try to take it away. >> meanwhile, senator bernie sanders who is still in the race against hillary clinton issuing this statement on the democratic party platform just moments ago and in part it reads the platform drafted in st. louis is a very good start but there is no question that much more work remains to be done by the full platform committee when it meets in orlando on july 8 and 9. we intend to do everything we can to rally support for our amendments in orlando and if we fail there we will take the fight to the floor of the convention in philadelphia. i'm joined now bizarrea westwood, investigative reporter for "the washington examiner" and, sara, as we can see, senator sanders, he is still going and as you well now he's
9:21 am
been applauded by potentially bringing long lasting change to campaign financing for forging a strong campaign and having been a formidable foe to hillary clint clinton. again, he's still going. the question for you is does senator sanders stand to lose some of his impact by staying at the party too long? >> well, at the moment he does have leverage over hillary clinton because there is a huge chunk of the delegation, super delegates, that are not bound to any one candidate the way they are on the republican side so whereas on the republican side the talk of a mutiny within the delegation against donald trump is not very realistic because there's no real mechanism currently -- >> want to stay on the democrats first. we'll get to the republicans so sticking with senator sanders. do you think that senator sanders will coalesce the party in the next month before the convention and possibly show up to philadelphia with a button that says i'm with her? >> it depends on what he's able
9:22 am
to get from the democratic platform. he's using his leverage by staying in the race and why his leverage is more effective in the democratic side because of the way their primary is structured. he does have the leverage to put pressure on hillary clinton. he's undermining her ability to consolidate her support in the democratic party by remaining in the race. it depends whether he gets his campaign finance reforms in the platform, his minimum wage initiative. he wants to, you know, reform wall street. these are things that he wants the democratic party to put in the platform before he throws his full weight behind hillary clinton. >> we're not sure if that's going to happen before july 25th. but let's go over to the republican side. as you know, they are dealing with their own drama. how do you think the gop should pivot, lasso the so-called logue delegates and proceed between now and july 18th in their case in such a way that could circumvent chaos in cleveland?
9:23 am
>> well, the first thing the republican party can do is tamp down on this talk that the rules committee might change the policies to allow the delegates to this vote your conscience option to be able to circumvent the will of their states because that is something that is allowing speculation, these rumors about a possible mutiny to continue, and if the rules committee sets in stone these rules that's going to prevent any kind of challenge then donald trump can start the process of unifying the party because there won't be an option to remove him from the nomination, and that's something that you've seen donald trump start to do by tamping down these talks. you've seen the rnc come out and deny these rumors but we have to have the rules of the convention set in stone before we can safely dismiss the chance of a mutiny. >> do you feel strongly that donald trump can inject calm into the convention, not only inside of the convention floor but outside, too? you're going to have protesters showing up as well. >> right. there have been protesters at
9:24 am
virtually all conventions. i mean, you look back at 2012. there was speculation, although to a much less extent, about what ron paul supporters would do do undermine the display of unity for mitt romney and romney did not clinch the nomination cleanly. there were 28 states who had delegates that voted for ron paul but mitt romney was able to put the party back together and bring everyone into unison while they ran against president obama and that's something that donald trump can hope to do after the convention is over. >> okay. sara westwood. we leave it there and thank you for this time this sunday morning and afternoon. thank you. eric? >> arthel, pope francis wrapping up his trip to armenia by leading a prayer near the turkish board they are morning. it comes as the vatican has dismissed strong criticism from turkey. government officials there say the pope is embracing what they call a, quote, crusader mentality after he did use the word genocide to describe the killing of more than 1.5 million armenians during and after world
9:25 am
war i, that after the fall of the hotman empire. turkey has long denied it was a genocide. pope francis and his armenian orthodox counterpart later released two doves into the air as a sign of peace. well, a new warning for diabetes patients, why they are at a higher risk of having a heart attack than anyone else. >> and new information for those suffering from high blood pressure. how do you know you have it, and what do you do you've got it and how do you get it under control? the doctors are here for "sunday housecall" straight ahead.
9:28 am
9:29 am
how's check it out. lights.? meeting configuration. blueprints. call hruska. we've gotta set up a meeting. sure. how do you spell that? abreu, albert, allen, anderson c, anderson r.... you know what? i'll just tell him myself. door. andrade... it's about time business communications caught up. call anyone in your network just by saying their name. call hruska. vonage. business grade. people friendly. hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. time now for "sunday housecall." >> and i'm eric shawn. welcome as always. joining us dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine at langone medical center. >> and dr. david samadi, chairman and professor of
9:30 am
urology at lenox hill hospital and chief of robotics surgery. good to see you. >> as always. >> something that affects a lot of people in the country. about 70 million americans, and that is hypertension. turns out in about half of people who have it know that they have it or that it's even under control so dr. siegel, i mean, it's a big topic. you see it a lot in your office. how do you know if you suffer from hypertension, and what does that mean? >> first of all, we call it the silent killer, eric, and there's a reason for it because 360,000 deaths this year are related to high blood pressure, not necessarily that alone, but the heart disease it causes, the strokes it causes and the kidney failure it causes and all of these things are connected, and then there's a category called pre-hypertension which i'm monitoring all the time. people that have a blood pressure higher than 120/80 but i'm not yet ready to intervene 1. 20/80 is the gold standard, low 120/80 is normal. any number below, that just reinvestigate that had recently. that's the number. and here's the ise.
