8:00 am
there are billions of galaxies and stars and maybe life out there somewhere. we haven't found it yet. i don't think we're in significant. our planet is beautiful and paradise and lucky to be here. >> dana: and lucky to have you explain it to us. thank you. >> bill: harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: breaking news on capitol hill. right now the senate judiciary committee is calling out the u.s. supreme court and warning of dire circumstances and consequences after the roe v. wade decision. republicans are battling to make the safety of the high court's conservative justices a priority throughout the politics in face of the ongoing and very dangerous protest potential. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". merrick garland and the department of justice are under growing pressure right now to do what is necessary to protect
8:01 am
justices. activist groups on the left are now offering bounties for information on the locations of the conservative members of the high court so they can physically confront them in public and it is already started. leadership at today's hearing opened with this. >> the overturning roe supreme court has unleashed a healthcare crisis across america. make no mistake. women's health and in some cases their lives are at risk. >> regardless of views on this issue we should all respect the role of the impartial judiciary seeking to intimidate or attack the court or undermine its credibility because of an outcome that you don't agree with is dangerous and that's not an answer. >> harris: let's remind everybody of the assassination attempt on the life of conservative supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. that's the back drop to all of
8:02 am
this. yet the white house continues to defend protests. >> the president has always been honest about what needs to be done and what he believes needs to be done. he also said keep protesting, protesting peacefully but also make sure that you take action and ask congress to take action. >> people are upset and will exercise their first amendment rights and as long as that's peaceful it's protected. any public figure should always, always be free from violence, intimidation and harassment but should never be free from criticism. >> harris: senator marsha blackburn from tennessee serves on the senate judiciary committee that's meeting today. i want to get your top line information coming out of that hearing today and where you think we're going with protecting the justices. >> harris, one thing we know is the left is upset about the supreme court doing their
8:03 am
constitutional duty. and so they've called for this hearing today. what we do know is that the left would like to have an activist court and they are upset that this is not an activist court. now protecting the justices should be item number one that is being discussed. and as you and i have talked, going to the homes of justices, approaching them, trying to influence the decision, the way they have conducted themselves, there is a way for peaceful protests and there is a way not to protest. what we are seeing from the left right now is what you ought not to be doing. i'm very concerned about the safety of our justices and their families, whether they are at home or whether they are out for dinner. >> harris: senator, i want to make a difference between those two things and it is a stark difference. maybe you can explain it better
8:04 am
than i. but when you offer geo location information on an individual outside of a publicly event. your schedule we can get, right? a lot of senators and house members put their skilsd on their website. that's not what we're talking about. we're talking about going to dinner, talking about the things you would have to use a device, stalk, geo locator. follow people to figure out where they are going and it is outside the bounds of what you are talking about is protected. >> that is right. and there is that statute, 18 usc 1507 to do this, to go parade and protest outside of someone's home, to harass them, this is something that is against the law. and the department of justice needs to be focused on going after the individuals, the
8:05 am
groups that are breaking the law and they should be very intent on keeping our supreme court justices safe so they can do their job. we've got three co-equal branches of government. you have your executive, legislative, judicial. each of us are required to do our job in order to keep this nation free, to keep it safe, and to make certain that we have a government that is of, by and for the people. >> harris: quickly that hearing today with the democrats is slog fest to excite their political base. can anything else be accomplished? just a quick thought on that. >> i think the democrats are terribly misreading what people are most concerned about right now. harris, when we look at the mid-terms and we are looking at issues that people are talking about, one, two and three are
8:06 am
inflation, inflation, inflation. >> harris: yes. you got it. all right. let's move to this. just under four months away from the 2022 mid-term elections and the abortion issue, of course, expected to be a factor for some voters. you say democrats may be overestimating that for their party while the issue typically pits democrats against republicans in state like florida and arizona it is playing out differently in some recent primaries. here is a "politico" headline. abortion divides democrats. they have increasingly started using abortion as a weapon against each other. a sign how it will be used to excite voters before the november election. >> what we know is that most women are anti-late term abortion and they are anti-taxpayer dollars being used to fund abortion. and when women find out that this is not a ban on abortion,
8:07 am
that this is returning the issue to the states, most women agree that this is where it should be. and then they turn to other issues. inflation, crime in the streets, drugs, fentanyl, the deaths that are there, the open southern border, and those are the things, keeping their families safe, making certain that the economy is in good shape, the price at the pump, the price at the grocery store, the fact that fentanyl is killing middle schoolers, high schoolers, young people, the leading cause of death in 18 to 40 year olds. those are issues that are at the top of the to-do list for most women that i'm hearing from. >> harris: look, the divide among democrats on this issue may speak to exactly why former president obama didn't codify roe v. wade when he had majorities and democrats had the white house again.
8:08 am
it's not just republicans that have their own way of looking at it. as you say women are divided on the issue in some corners and some corners completely together in ways that maybe democrats can't quite understand or wouldn't be table predict. i want to get to this. up to 40,000 national guard soldiers are set to be fired this week over their refusal to take the covid vaccine. senator, your plan to introduce legislation to back these guardsmen is picking up steam. tell us about the plan and why you think it is getting support right now. >> yes. it is getting broad support and we found out that not only is it the guardsmen. they're adding 20,000 reservists. it is a total of 60,000, harris. and my legislation is introduced. it is picking up steam. we are trying to get this incorporated into the ndaa. the defense authorization act. what it would do is prohibit the use of taxpayer funds to
8:09 am
implement this firing of our national guardsmen and women and also our reservists. what we know is the pandemic is over. you can get on a plane, you can go without a mask, people are back to work, but this white house wants to declare the pandemic in effect against our u.s. military. this is something that is a far reach. the american people are against it and i am so thrilled to have so much support from every corner of this country to get this included in the ndaa to get this bill passed to make certain that we preserve the rights of our guardsmen and women to be able to serve this country without having to take a vaccine. we're seeing the vaccine does not keep you from getting covid. look at that. look at the people in the senate, the people in the house
8:10 am
right now that have covid and they have all been double vaxxed and boosted and they still get it. >> harris: i'll talk with dr. siegel later this hour about the fact that the federal government is perched to send us backward on friday declaring the federal level of emergency over covid. it will stay in the headlines and let us know what happens with your bill. we need our military for sure in whole. we can't go forward without 60,000 members of them. good to see you. thank you very much. mexico's president arriving at the white house just a few minutes ago after snubbing president biden last month by not attending the summit of the americas. remember that? he was one of the countries that didn't show up because the president had a list of dictators he didn't want to show up. but he is getting ready to met with another dictator, saudi
8:11 am
arabia. different story. mexico's president obrador refused to attend. biden left out cuba, venezuela and nicaragua. it comes as the biden administration faces criticism over its handling of the southern border crisis with mexico. mark meredith live at the white house. >> good morning. the mexican president has arrived at the white house expected to sit down any moment now for what is likely to be a lengthy meeting. no shortage of topics to be discussed. economic concerns, drug smuggling concerns and immigration. the latest figures from the u.s. customs and border protection details where things stand now with 239,000 migrants encountered on the southwest border in the month of may alone. the year halfway over already 1.5 million people encountered. texas officials say the situation has gotten so bad the state is busing migrants it finds back to the southern
8:12 am
border. vice president kamala harris is criticizing the move claiming the policy created by greg abbott is about politics, not security. >> i would suggest that so-called leaders focus on solutions instead of attacks if they really are concerned about a problem. >> this morning the republican national committee saying while kamala harris has been searching for root causes more than 3 million immigrants have flooded through the open border. we expect to see the mexican president and biden on camera, it will be short. there is no formal press conference today. white house officials say we're expected to learn about joint actions when it comes to border security and trying to stop fentanyl from coming into the united states. certainly there are a lot of questions what can be done in the short term. the problems are so massive.
8:13 am
>> absolutely. we'll watch for that and cover that quick moment live because we want to watch and see what their relationship will be going forward. good to see you, thank you. happening right now a coalition of bodega owners is speaking out after meeting with manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. they've been very outspoken up until this point calling for bragg to drop murder charges against a bodega worker jose alba. surveillance video showed a heated exchange been alba and a man identified as austin simon. simon shoved alba and alba grabbing a knife to defend itself. simon died. alba charged with murder for defending himself. his supporters insist again he was defending himself. we'll monitor the news conference and bring you any updates. to let you know this case saw a dropped bail for him.
8:14 am
the district attorney already feeling pressure. these owners are convenience store operators, people with mom and pop and some with gas stations. we need them and we need to know that they are safe. when they fight back amid this crime wave that we are seeing, who will have their backs? we're watching the story and will bring you the news. president biden and the white house sending his controversial trip to saudi arabia. a kingdom he pledges to make a pariah, at least that's what he said on the campaign trail. now he is president. something different, we need oil? republicans sounding off on the president's polling as it plummets. >> 13% of americans believe we're headed in the right direction. that's pretty bad performance for joe biden. here is the interesting thing. he could actually do something about it. but he is playing to the left. >> harris: the white house in
8:15 am
full spin mode in response to those dismal polling numbers even trying to claim the president has overwhelming support from his own political party. we are going to fact check that with pete hegseth in "focus" next. veteran homeowners- you made a smart move when you bought your home. now make another one and turn your equity into cash. with the newday 100 va loan you can take out up to $60,000 or more. i'm tatiana for newday usa. with home values at all-time highs i've been telling
8:16 am
fellow veteran homeowners everywhere that this is the best time in history to turn your home equity into cash. with the newday 100 loan you can get an average of $60,000, but if you've waited act now. rates are still low but starting to rise. so call now. this is john. he never gives up—no matter what life throws his way.
8:17 am
high cholesterol. heart disease. 17 fad diets... 5 kids... 3 grandkids... 1 heart attack. and 18 passwords that seem to change daily. with leqvio, john can lower his cholesterol— and so can you. when taken with a statin, leqvio is proven to lower bad cholesterol by over 50% and keep it low with two doses a year. common side effects of leqvio were injection site reaction, joint pain, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, chest cold, pain in legs or arms, and shortness of breath. with leqvio, lowering cholesterol becomes just one more thing life throws your way. ask your doctor if leqvio is right for you. lower. longer. leqvio.
8:18 am
8:19 am
8:20 am
>> harris: critics are calling out the white house for greatly overstating president biden's support among democrats in new polling from "the new york times." it shows 64% of democrats want a different nominee in 2024. and when asked about it, the press secretary karine
8:21 am
jean-pierre had this to say. >> i would say from the same poll 92% of democrats who support this president as well. there will be many polls and they'll go up and down. this is not the thing that we are solely focused on. >> harris: she is not focused on it and why was she ready with it? it wasn't true. 70% of democrats approve the job that biden is doing which is a little low for his own political party. she may have been referring to this, though, where the 92% came from. it is dems who say they would vote for the president in a hypothetical rematch between him and donald trump in 2024. this comes as a progressive group is pressing biden not to run again. roots action is launching a don't run joe campaign set to launch the day after the mid-term election. 119 days from now, you know i'm counting. pete hegseth co-host of "fox &
8:22 am
friends" weekend. pete, i get if he says if he runs against trump 92% of democrats love him. she didn't say that. they are painting the wall with a q tip. >> they are. they know that people are starting to say out loud what they've been thinking for quite some time even when joe biden was the nominee. he was never anyone's real first choice. he was a foil to another candidate they didn't like. as a result now he has the guard, "the new york times." they turned on him over a dozen times. the guard of the "new york times" is effectively declaring from the front page of their newspaper joe biden is unfit to be our nominee in 2024. the most recent article by peter baker laying out the fears inside the white house and among party elites. that joe isn't up to the job physically and cognitively but the results are disastrous. when you have 64% of your own
8:23 am
party saying please don't run in 2024 and you have lost the base that you've catered to the entire time, you are effectively persona non grata. everyone inside the white house knows it. they love power. you want to be in the inner circle of power. they'll find rationalizations like a match-up with donald trump to justify the continued existence. but neither the capabilities or his record give any comfort to democrats who are looking for an alternative. it is very unclear who in the world that alternative would be. they aren't looking at the vice president and not looking inside the cabinet. they have serious bench problems. >> harris: that's the big problem. you can pull trump forward. you only help him by doing that by the way. he is not in the white house, biden is. so now you are going to pick on the other guy while many things are going wrong within the administration and outside of it. that only bolsters the person you would have to face. it is pretty mind-boggling why
8:24 am
they think this strategy would work. the white house and president biden are defending his now controversial trip to saudi arabia. biden is expected to meet with saudi leaders including the crown prince. now remember, our president said on the campaign trail that he would make saudi arabia a pariah state. now he is getting cozy with a man accused of multiple killings including that of an american journalist khashoggi. the president defending himself in a "washington post" op-ed. national security advisor jake sullivan with this. >> if we act now to create a more peaceful and stable region it will pay dividends for the american national interests and for the american people for years to come. despite ongoing challenges the middle east president biden will be visiting is more stable than the one we inherited 18 months ago. >> harris: critics including members of his own political party have their doubts.
8:25 am
>> i don't think this is a good idea. i that i we are essentially -- the president going for this visit. >> harris: isn't it a member of the squad going up the president? my brain just broke. >> this is a master study that will someday be a case study how not to start a foreign trip. first say you aren't going to do it and write an op-ed in the "washington post" to explain why you are doing it which is completely antithetical to the real reason. the reason why you are doing it is because you reversed the policy of your predecessor which you may not have liked which were coherent and led to a position of strength. because we were energy independent previously we didn't have to cater to the saudis, who we shouldn't be catering to for any good reason especially for the reason of oil considering their track record of a regime.
8:26 am
20 years, 9/11. but in addition to that portion of it, there is no reason -- trump had a coherent strategy when it came to israel. an abraham accord that made saudi arabia more friendly to the interests of our key ally in the region israel. he has flipped that on the lid by sticking russia in the middle of negotiations with iran, saudi arabia's mortal enemy. he is going and saudi is skeptical and they're stronger with oil production because of the policies he has pursued and the deback also in afghanistan and the stalemate in ukraine that made us look weak on the global stage. >> harris: kellyanne conway reminded everybody how close we are to one year the date that
8:27 am
marks one year since the disastrous pull-out from afghanistan. the pressure is on this president to do some political gymnastics. by the way, we didn't get into the military part of this. what happens when we start selling them weapons. will we sell iran weapons at this point? >> do we really -- what is our track record of sending weapons to allies who eventually become enemies? if we make the decision to send more weapons to iran or saudi arabia we don't have any control how those get used in the future. certainly they would love to send relief to iran in pursuit of an iran deal which is antithetical to america's or israel's interests. there is weakness that our enemies exploit. >> harris: that we would potentially sell weapons to
8:28 am
saudi arabia. they will turn around and sell the weapons to russia. anything we put into the universe right now seems to turn on us. let's get to this. how to protect our american shop owners. a coalition of bodega owners is speaking out after that meeting with manhattan d.a. alvin bragg, a liberal d.a. in new york city. a live look. we have been monitoring this. it is the bodega worker now charged with murder for defending himself jose alba was attacked and there has been widespread outrage over those charges against him. a spokesperson for the united bodegas of america is a hopeful about the case getting dismissed and had some nice things to say about bragg. watch. >> we asked him what is his position regarding bodega owners carrying legal guns to
8:29 am
defend themselves. and he was very assuring in that he supports it. and he doesn't oppose small, legal, law abiding business owners like bodega owners carrying a gun. >> harris: he skirted the issue clearly. what do you make of it? >> do you really believe that? that alvin bragg and governor hochul and mayor adams and other democrats are for arming legal citizens? to what consequence will he face later on for misrepresenting his position or ob files indicating? what evidence do we have the democratic party today is for legal gun ownership in urban centers that are gun free zone. the criminal knows the one thing he can count on is there is not a gun behind the counter.
8:30 am
the bodega owner using it puts himself under legal jeopardy by using it. so if the criminals are the ones who have the guns on offense and when you defend yourself now only because of public pressure have you been let out. the instinct of bragg and other d.a.s is to side with the criminal. public outcry is what changed this case. not their ideological disposition. hopefully voters, liberals, traditional democrats will vote these folks out as they have in san francisco and just might in l.a. >> harris: maybe that coalition is acting like they are okay with what the d.a. is not being honest about. >> they are at his disposal. >> harris: and mercy. >> yes. >> harris: thank you. great to have you in "focus." many americans say life is returning to normal after more than two years of covid. but the white house reportedly is ready to extend the covid
8:31 am
public health emergency later this week. why would that be necessary at all? dr. marc siegel in "focus" next. stay close. if you're a veteran, own your home, and need cash, call newday usa. i'm tatiana, here to say you can get an average of $60,000 with the newday 100 cash out loan. that's at least 25% more cash than you get at a bank. it lowers your payments by an average of $600 a month, too. with today's soaring home values, the time to turn your equity into cash is right now.
8:32 am
8:33 am
8:34 am
8:35 am
8:36 am
>> harris: get ready. the biden administration reportedly is getting set to extend the covid public health emergency. that's expected to take effect on friday. the extension would provide another 90 days of widespread access to covid vaccine testing and treatments and special access to healthcare for millions of americans on medicaid. critics say the u.s. is coming out of an emergency and wonder if any extension is necessary. dr. marc siegel, fox news contributor, professor of medicine at nyu langone. you've expressed when you put things like this in motion you can trigger a backlash and
8:37 am
unintended consequences of people saying no, no more. >> that's right. i have said that. i actually look at this two ways. the public health emergency being extended could be a nod to the fact we have the ba5 sub variant and a lot of cases now and coming since home testing so we're underestimating how many cases there are. but hospitalizations are not flying up the way they were and hospitals are equipped now and not overwhelmed. when the american hospital association pushes hhs and president biden to extend this you know what they are really doing? they're saying we want medicaid extended. before the pandemic there were 71 million medicaid patients. now 95 million and the additional medicaid patients are mostly in states that didn't approve the medicaid expansion. they got medicaid provisionally because of the pandemic. the hospital association loves the money flow, right? loves the support.
8:38 am
theoretically it would go to services for the pandemic but let me also point out we don't have the vaccines we need. we didn't get a vaccine for the ba5 sub variant or no new therapeutics. >> harris: why is that? >> i think it's because they didn't put the money where their mouth is. there wasn't a public/private partnership we had with operation warp speed. they didn't pay drug companies in advance to make the vaccines fast enough and also they didn't deregulate the process. with flu vaccine we use animals. with this vaccine we are going through tremendous regulations. when we got the vaccine the variant is gone. >> harris: i want to get to this because people who don't live in blue states may not realize this. there are states that have statewide covid-19 health emergencies. many are in democrat-led states like california, new york, connecticut. most set to expire by the end of this month.
8:39 am
what about the sub variant says that we need to potentially, you know there is always the potential that they say it's a health emergency. let's trigger everything back in the place short of lockdowns hopefully. >> that's a really good point. the emergency rooms in ucla told me yesterday are filled with people in anger and depression and car accidents and alcohol abuse because of the restrictions, because of the restrictions. triggering restrictions to put them back in place when we aren't seeing hospitalizations from severe covid and as many people on respirators or in the icu and not the shortage of supplies i think we need to focus how to get the right vaccine for this sub variant, how to get the right they are -- therapeutics. the mandates don't work. >> harris: it feels like we're
8:40 am
hyperventilating at this point when we know we have some answers. the vaccine we have right now protects us from death and more severe cases no matter what. now the administration may look at calling through the cdc or fda for all adults to get a second booster not just those in high-risk categories. but as you say, the sub variant vaccine is not out there yet. so that's like two collisions of messages. what do we make out of that? >> as usual, right? wear a mask. i don't wear one. wear a mask hanging off your chin. have a vaccine, maybe i don't take one. the deal with the vaccine. if you're in a high-risk troop or if you have diabetes and chronic disease, overweight and over 60 i'm for that second booster. if you are younger and you are not in high risk, i believe what the head of vaccine at penn said you already have plenty of protection from the
8:41 am
first two shots and if you have covid. recent covid gives you a layer of protection as well. >> harris: no one should dismiss that. you still get covid with the vaccine. i would imagine that means that gives that vaccine a chance to keep punching and you get another layer. scientifically i don't know how long everything lasts. at some point you have a lot. the "wall street journal" op-ed hitting the administration hypocrisy and what it is saying is the never-ending covid emergency. the quote. if the white house believes covid continues to be an emergency, why hasn't the food and drug administration authorized the nova fax vaccine? the world health organization green lit it in december. the fda endorsed it over a month ago. covid shouldn't be an emergency only when it's useful to expand the welfare state. dr. siegel. >> i completely agree with that. i made the point already on medicaid that they made in that same editorial and i grew with them on nova vax.
8:42 am
i demanded it be approved months ago. i think that the whole idea -- one other thing that editorial said it's not the same pocket. just because you declare a public health emergency, harris, doesn't mean that you will get the money for the new vaccines the way you had under the prior administration. you get televisits and medicaid expansion. i don't know how they'll roll it back. the nanny state all over again. you don't necessarily get the tools you need. we need tools now. >> harris: yeah. it's mind-boggling how we have had all this passage of time with a brand-new president who promised he would bust up, destroy covid that has not happened. but in the passage of time we haven't gone forward the way we needed to with geting the science into the public bloodstream. dr. siegel. always great to have your information and expertise. >> we get a 2-year-old vaccine here. for flu we get one every year.
8:43 am
under a pandemic it makes no sense. >> harris: the white house is blaming the putin price hike for runaway inflation. but now even some in the liberal media seem to be tired of hearing that. they are over it. plus this. >> democrats are getting it wrong. my own party is getting it wrong when it comes to a lot of different messaging. >> harris: democrat voters, a growing number are getting angry at democrats. so how will this play out 119 days from now? our power panel next.

8:48 am
>> he has been president for a year and a half. you created this bad he con mee. they're saying to the americans it is the economy and you are stupid. they seem to be blaming the voters for not doing a better job finding lower prices. >> harris: the biden administration continues to blame everything and everyone else for raging inflation.
8:49 am
it now stands at 8.6% and it has been steadily climbing since president biden took office. look at that, it is so easy to see. from january 2021 when he took office, it was already on the rise. the white house not expecting any relief to come with tomorrow's june report. >> we expect the headline number, which includes gas and food to be highly elevated mainly because gas prices were so elevated in june. gas and food prices continue to be heavily impacted by the war in ukraine. and there are a few important points to keep in mind when we get this backwards looking data. june cpi data is already out of date because energy prices have come down substantially this month and are expected to fall further. >> harris: backwards looking data. it is always the month previous, right? it was only a few days ago. the administration is doubling
8:50 am
down on what is driving up costs. even some in the liberal media now are finding it hard to swallow what they are saying. >> but the putin price hike is very much in the mix and that remains a strong constraint weighing on both the real economy and markets. >> you have a net, putin price hike. you all use it again and again and again. you are at 33% approval at this point, so i don't know. >> harris: that's what we call slapping him with the facts. former utah congressman jason chaffetz is here and leslie marshall also a fox news contributor. great to see you both. jason, this is not working. you heard the host there saying yeah, you guys are at 33%, it is not the putin price hike. >> inflation is created by government and government alone. it depends how much money is
8:51 am
printed and how much money is spent. if supply is the problem you get an increase in supply. what will you do to increase the supply of gasoline? not run to saudi arabia. you should be able to produce that domestically. thus far the president is absolutely totally and completely refusing to open up the spigot and produce energy products in the united states. it would be great for jobs and it would be great for our pocket books because it would drive up supply and down the cost of gasoline. and you know what? why do we need joe biden if he will just blame putin? if putin is in control of our economy and gas and food and everything else, what do we need joe biden for? he offers no solutions. >> harris: i really dislike giving a dictator that much political power on home soil. it just seems so odd to me. leslie, how do we make that not happen? seriously, do we need to go to saudi arabia and beg for oil at this point?
8:52 am
>> no, we don't but when you have 9,000 land leases and the oil companies say we won't drill there and when we have the headlines constantly jason, i will take some of your stuff there. you can't just blame putin. if we blame joe biden because it's a global economic problem, inflation is a global problem not just the united states. i guess joe biden is president of the world and that's not accurate as well. gas prices have dropped repeatedly. >> harris: the price of our bread that is going up. you heard the press secretary say the headline numbers, which are gas and food will be highly elevated. those things are somebody else's fault when they've been going up since he has been in office far before this war with putin and ukraine? >> a couple of things. first of all i never said it was putin's fault and i don't think it is a one-person. it is a multi-faceted problem. >> harris: the white house is
8:53 am
saying the war. >> the war is actually part of it. top economists say that regardless of their political leanings. it is not solely to blame for that. neither is inflation solely to blame for legislation which the president and the democrats passed if we just look at the facts like you said. when we look at the facts and break down the numbers whether it's just the united states or on a worldwide level, certainly russia's invasion of ukraine played into it strongly and into those numbers. >> harris: we'll move now. a "new york times" poll finds 77% of those surveyed say they think the country is going in the wrong direction. we've been saying it for a couple days. it's unreal. several democratic strategists are sounding the alarm saying the party has not delivered on its promises and calling on leadership to step it up. when it comes to fundraising the rnc is outpacing the dnc this election cycle.
