the majority. tell happen? let's dive into arizona, senator mark kelly versus somebody to be determined come august second and mark kel seraking in a ton of campaign cash. could he possibly keep a seat? >> democrats can raise money, they are raising a ton of money. if i'm mark kelly, i am scared. he is in the mid-40s. virtually all the incumbents for democrat are not just under 50%, significantly under 50%. mark kelly will have a problem. you have kim layman, mark bernavic, the attorney general is running. >> carley: name recognition. >> right and blake masters and he has the trump endorsement there. jim layman has been running a

spirited campaign, i think it will be similar to the primary, it will be close. >> carley: warnock and herschel walker. trump doesn't really have the sway in georgia the way he does in other states. >> what is driving it is because joe biden is president, his negative will drive numbers in this race and the other senate races right now. negatives are in the high 50%. the republican only has to get 80 to 85% of the negative to win and most polling right now has herschel walker ahead of rafael warnock. >> carley: warnock has a lot of money, herschel walker has football -- who will win this race? >> i think adam laksalt has a

chance of winning this rac well, laksalt, i think will win among hispanic voter necessary nevada. >> carley: his father was a big-time politician in the state. new hampshire, could a republican win this state? >> yes, and republicans are going through the primary, it is a late primary state. maggie hassan is spending a fortune early, that is how worried the democrats are in this race. again, she is under 50%, this is a northeastern state -- >> carley: tv doctor mehmet oz

let's look at the current temperatures across the nation. we've got the 50s in seattle, fargo, 67 in new york, still very warm across the south and some showers and thunderstorms that are going to come on in to the southwest as well as the upper midwest and the gulf coast. we'll talk about that in a moment, but zooming into the upper midwest is where we see potential for some hail and perhaps damaging winds, isolated tornadoes today. we are not talking about a severe weather outbreak but we could see the potential for the stronger storms from the rockies up towards the great lakes. keep that in mind. area to watch, of course we are into the hurricane season here. i don't know if this is going to be named, but regardless if it gets a name or not we are still going to be dealing with it over the next five days, the potential for breezy conditions and heavy rainfall for texas and louisiana. you have to watch this over the course of thursday, friday, into the weekend, because we will see the potential for flash flooding as the biggest concern. your forecast, very warm for much of the country, a lot of 90s on the map and with the

humidity it'll feel oppressive and some of these areas. that's where there are some heated visors across the south and toward the southwest. look at us today, full of sunshine and all sorts of yellow! we didn't even tell each other, it's amazing. >> we should start doing that. the matchy-match group. >> i like it! that will be our code name. the matchy-match group. thank you so much. it is hot outside and here's the bad news, a nationwide lifeguard shortage could potentially close over 100,000 public pools this summer. >> doug centinela is the superintendent of recreation in new jersey and he joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm good. seems like a real sink or swim situation. if you don't have enough lifeguards, how do you respond to this? >> absolutely, i've been doing this for 20 years and this is probably the worst year that we've ever had.

usually we have 20-30 applicants and this year we only had six. thankfully six was enough for our ocean staff, but i see it definitely being an issue going forward. >> this is a nationwide shortage. it is not just new jersey, so why is this happening? >> i don't know. i think there's a couple factors here. one, with the youth now, they specialize in sports, so sports takes a precedent as opposed to when we were younger and their parents wanted us working. i think that's one of them. the other reason is i think there is a big commitment to lifeguarding. there's a lot on these kids' shoulders and some of these kids don't want to make that commitment. >> a lot of local municipalities are barely treading water just financially coming out of this pandemic. is there a problem here just being able to pay lifeguards to come out to do this, or is it just a motivation problem? >> that is also it.

lucky for us, our mayor and counsel this year in 2022 increased our salary and wages for our guards, so we had quite a few returning lifeguards and that is why i think we are not in that predicament this year. but they didn't do that, we would definitely be in trouble, as well. >> if you are in new jersey and watching right now and you have kids at home that are itching to go to the pool, what are the chances that pool will be closed because of this lifeguard shortage? >> well, depending what state you are in, but definitely i've been hearing new york is very short there and they will be limiting the hours. i just don't think they have enough to man it for eight hours a day. >> all right, dan. this is an unfortunate issue. i was also reading it could be because of covid, because it takes some time to get certified and some of those facilities shut down over 2020, so it could take a long time to get back up and running.

for reelection? >> i believe maybe he does. it's kind of lien you you try to take the keys away from your grandfather when he hit that signpost for, like, a third time, or back to his car into something. and you say, you can't drive anymore, and he's like, you are not taking these keys for me. perhaps that's what we see from joe biden. it's funny he sees bernie sanders as the big threat considering bernie would be in his 90s if he were to run for president and actually win two terms, which is not with the president of this country needs. i believe many democrats believe joe biden closer to his 90s would be in the second term that is a prospect most americans would be uncomfortable with. the lack of respect thing, when you are polling lower than any president in polling history, from truman to trump, respect has to go away. it's like the new york jets who haven't won a super bowl in something like 53 years saying, "hey, where's my respect?"

i think the party wants a younger candidate. we are hearing more about gavin newsom possibly running if biden does not. imagine what that bumper sticker would look like, guys.

farm ground. this is a river bottom land along the grand river in sheraton county. we have crossed there was machinery enough that we knew it was dangerous so we had contacted the higher-ups, i guess you'd call it, with the railroad, but to no avail. >> carley: can you describe what the section of track looks like and why the truck driver might not have seen or heard this train coming? >> it's very possible he possibly had seen it. i would say it was a little bit late, possibly, when he'd seen it. the track runs at an angle to the road. the road runs north and south they are. the railroad track runs southwest to northeast at a real sharp angle, as you can see on the picture. there is a very steep incline. the level of the road is probably 9 feet lower than the

track, so he had to keep his momentum up if he was loaded. the road is probably soft. we have had that with rains in the area over the last couple weeks. i would say that just in the experience of crossing there myself that he had to keep his momentum up, and it's very possible that he had seen the train at the last second coming out from behind some of the brush that had not been cleared back, and probably maybe even panicked, missed a gear, stalled out, probably. it's really hard telling. >> and i believe he was hauling gravel, so maybe it was a slow moving vehicle. the bottom line here is there was no light or gate stopping him. so he went through, kind of wrong place, wrong time. i hate to ask this question because sometimes there is no one person to blame, but do you think there is anyone to blame for this?

>> well, i put the burden on bnsf railroad, because we had contacted them numerous times over the last 7-8 years and really pushed hard on it the last three years. we thought we had the green light to get this crossing fixed. i had pushed really hard and met down there with our three county commissioners. one of the gentleman, an engineer from the railroad, and also a mo dot safety specialist from jefferson city, our state capital. we were supposed to get started on this last july 1st. we had all the permits in place. we asked get a hold of the landowners to get permission to encroach on their property to build this approach up, plateau it out so the traffic can get up and level with the track before they crossed, and we had

permission from the landowners within two hours. >> they wanted to get this done, too. bnsf says they can't determine where these crossings go, so they are sort of putting the blame on the missouri department of transportation. and the cycle continues. but the bottom line is that this is an absolute tragedy and your heart just breaks for everybody involved. mike, thank you so much for joining us this money and sharing your perspective. we really appreciate it. >> you're welcome. thank you, carley. >> thank you. 37 cities within los angeles county have issued votes of no confidence on progressive district attorney george gascon. the devastated community of el monte also doing so after two of its own officers were killed in the line of duty earlier this month, many blaming that tragedy on gascon soft crime policies.

one way or the other. >> governor evers is a pro-abortion activists and the attorney general and they will file suit in dane county wisconsin. that's the most liberal county in the state. they will find a sympathetic judge and they will be successful in that local dane county court, but this will then be appealing go to the wisconsin supreme court and they'll make a decision. but it was interesting, joey, this law was passed in 1849 banning abortion and criminalizing the abortionist but not the mom. democrat say that's an old law and it should be off the books. what's interesting about politics is, if you don't like a law, every legislature has the right to repeal, but it is still good law. the republicans assembly in wisconsin, the politics looks so good that it might be a vetoproof majority even if tony

evers was to win reelection. it looks like the republicans would be in the driver's seat on abortion. council i was reading some of the celebrity reactions to this decision and singer pink says if you support roe v. wade, don't listen to her music, and the leader of green day, billie joe armstrong, said during a concert in london, "f america, i'm effing announcing dominic renouncing my citizenship." >> there's been a lot of promises to go to canada and australia and were not citizenship. i have no problem with that. maybe they should go to venezuela or cuba and see how great their liberal socialist marxist policies are. i think that would be fantastic. i don't think any conservatives will stop them from leaving the country. again, this is emotional. the pro-lifers like myself have dealt with roe v. wade since 1973 and out with it, for the most part, in a really peaceful way. where there has been violence with pro-lifers, it has been

universally condemned by every pro-lifer. where are the liberals, the democrats, joe biden forcibly condemning the violence from the left and the threats to the supreme court? it doesn't exist. if you don't condemn it you are condoning it, which is shameful. >> carley: that's a great point. >> joey: is an exception but he's no longer a problem. let's move onto another topic.

good morning, attorney general. >> good morning. >> joey: real easy question. white house press secretary john pierre deny that this was biden's fault and went on to say that the board is closed. how can you say the board is composed of my close almost every metric is increased or in many cases doubled, including those who have died? >> from day one they have invited the cartel to bring as many people across the border as they possibly can get across. so there is no doubt in my mind that what happened with these immigrants with over 50 people dead is going to happen again. it's happened before and it is largely due to the biden administration policy of inviting illegals across the border. >> carley: the white house has done very little, as you said, when it comes to the border. is there anything texas can do to make sure something like this doesn't happen again?

>> in some ways that hands are tied. we are in litigation right now. he mentioned the asylum program, the biden administration is trying to put aside federal law and we are trying to get it enforced. we are waiting for that decision. i'm hopeful the supreme court will get this right and we can support this law that should require the biden administration to stop most of these people and say they are here. and that it administration transports them around secretly around the country. we are trying to stop that. it's a significant number of illegals crossing the border. >> looking at this incident specifically, no matter what you think about illegal immigration, these are souls that were lost in a horrific way. what is the story behind a tractor trailer being left abandoned that way but then locked inside? do you have an investigation to find out who specifically is responsible, who drove that truck and how it got there? >> i know that local law enforcement in san antonio is investigating right now. i think they have three

potential suspects. i don't think we have the whole story yet and hopefully we will. this is not a surprise. we expected it to happen again. and the policy of the biden administration, protecting the border instead of allowing this to happen on a regular basis. >> carley: how critical will it be, that remain in mexico policy, they are supposed to make a decision very soon. how critical is it to maintain border security? the president should be in preventing the policy he's not. >> it's fundamental. it's one of the main things the trump administration used. you can look at the numbers two years ago down significantly before that. it's ignoring federal law and the president can ignore federal law, passed by a duly elected members of congress, i guess you don't have immigration law and the president can lead in any but he wants. that would be a huge problem if that happened. >> carley: you heard karine jean-pierre say the

border is closed, and if you have a eyes and are reading the news you know that is absolutely not true. thanks for joining us, we appreciate it. two hours went by. they you for being with me. have a great day. >> president biden's open border policy being blamed for the death of at least 15 migrants. >> karine jean-pierre responded by claiming the border is closed. >> will stay focused on the facts. the fact of the matter is the border is. yesterday -- >> facing off against the governor. >> in overhead. >> a big swing and voter registration. >> more than a million voters have now officially switch the
