10:02 am
>> hello, again, from fox news in washington, president biden bows to pressure from progressives taking executive action on abortion as women's marsh protesters returned to d.c. white house celebrates a new job numbers despite growing recession fears and the high gasoline prices hitting americans hard during summer travel. in transportation secretary pete booted jewish stomach, first let's turn to kevin quirk at the white house with a reversal of roe. >> supposedly strong drug support and executive action on abortion access and poll numbers show he needs it. >> president biden: the fastest way to restore rowe's to
10:03 am
codify rowe which show signs soon his passage on my desk. >> unveiling executive actions and to push bass against state legislation and other lawmakers helping to further restrict abortion access. this has thousands of pro-choice advocates protesting in d.c. many urging the president to declare a national public health emergency as nearly two dozen states moved to ban the procedure perry protests themselves have been under intense scrutiny following reports that an online group targeted supreme court justice brett cavanaugh at a washington area statehouse. forcing him to slip out the back door. the restaurants at the justice and other patrons were "unduly harassed." white house was less definitive. >> we condemn intimidation and any violence. peaceful protest, people should be allowed to be able to do th that. if it is outside of a restaurant, if it is peaceful, for sure.
10:04 am
>> all of this on the backdrop of the president's low poll numbers in american's complaints about high gas prices, economic uncertainty, even flight delays. scheduling summer plans. meanwhile, the president as you know, mike comes repairing for a trip to saudi arabia which comes amid heavy criticism of the human rights record. with that in mind he actually penned an op-ed overnight in "the washington post." in at the president that he was looking to reorient, not rupture long-standing relations with an important ally in the region. my? >> kevin quirk will bring from the white house, many thanks. joining now transportation secretary pete buttigieg. >> thank you, good morning. >> let's start with travel hassles during the busy summer travel season we've had weeks of cancellations and delays among the piloshortage. this comes as there are complaint from passengers that they are not being treated well by the commercial airlines.
10:05 am
after american taxpayers gave the commercial aviation industry $54 billion during the pandemic, can you understand why some taxpayers feel like they aren't getting their money's worth from the airline industry? >> that's right, a lot of passengers have experienced frustration, including me and millions of other americans. now, we have seen some improvement over the course of the summer, but still not an acceptable level in terms of performance, cancellation, and delays. here's what we're doing about appear will collaborate with airlines when they're ready to take steps that are positive and proactive, whether that is improvement in pay that are helping with hiring or flexibility in customer service. we are also going to enforce passenger and consumer rights. this is not new for us, as her matter-of-fact was last year we announced the stiffest fines ever imposed under our consumer protection program for airlines failing to provide refunds to passengers after they got stuck with cancellations. as a matter of fact, which
10:06 am
concluded other ten investigations on airlines on these issues, and have launched another ten or so we are going to pursue to make sure the consumers and passengers are protected. at the same time, i want to emphasize again we have seen movement in the right direction. i gathered airline leaders after the memorial day travel weekend. we saw a really high level of cancellations and delays there. the july 4th travel we can we just came through it at some of the busiest travel days of the year. definitely fewer cancellations and delays, the numbers i just saw from last few days are around two, 2.5%, still higher than they should be. it will never be zero, but we really want to see them push toward 1% or so. realistic scheduling, responsible customer service, and all the things airlines need to do to properly service the tickets that they are selling to passengers. >> u.s. commercial pilots must retire at age 65 by law. nbc did a study finding "by 2029
10:07 am
not a single baby boomer will be able to legally fly commercial aircraft's. as they leave they take not just a substantial part of the labor force with them, but also decades of expertise and experience in the air." i am told lindsey graham is talking to potential colleagues about raising the retirement age for commercial pilots to 67 peer would you support that? >> look, these retirement ages are there for a reason. the reason is safety. i'm not going to be on board with anything that could compromise safety. now, what is clearly the cases we need to cultivate, train, and support a new generation of qualified pilots. as a matter of fact just last week i was out with some programs can helping to cultivate that interest in students and support them as they get their hours and get those qualifications. the answer is not to keep the baby boomer generation in the cockpit indefinitely. the answer is to make sure we have as many in as good pilots ready to take their place, to
10:08 am
have a stronger pipeline. we are backing that up with faa programs to support high school and college curriculums to get into aviation. and of course, ultimately, it will be for the airlines and those employers to hire and retain excellent talent. this is an issue we are seeing across the aviation sector come across a transpoation sector at large. the importance of having competitive pay, great job quality, so that we can bring in and keep the people that are going to be needed to power america's transportation system. >> the white house had a major victory last year passing a massive infrastructure practices that my packaged supply chain issues and inflation are driving at the price tag, he said basically the funding also over five years, we are seven months into that process. what are you and your team doing to try to move things along? >> we have been announcing a new program every few days pursuing to that infrastructure law. right now, for example, we are in the middle of rolling out up to a billion dollars in air for
10:09 am
improvement spirit is a way out to airports across the country from orlando for about 50 million to help expand gates and allow them to have more capacity and accommodate more passengers. chattanooga will see improvements that help passengers move more smoothly through the airport. we are not for getting smaller, more rural facilities, that may not be household names, but could mean a huge amount economically to those regions. the chamberlain south dakota, for example. their general aviation terminal right now is a mobile home. we will fund them to have the kind of terminal they really need in order to have flight operations grow and succeed there. we are proud of what we're doing whether it's the airport terminal program going to 85 airports around the country, we are working on that this week, or initiatives to eliminate railroad crossings that can be both a headache and a safety hazard in communities across the u.s. of course, so much funding going to fixing roads, bridges, and other facilities people need in order to get where they need to
10:10 am
go safely and conveniently. >> quick follow-up, how quickly people see improvements in those airport? >> suck on the funding is flowing now, and obviously depends on product a little bit. constructing a whole new gate or terminal takes longer than some of the more modest improvements. are really varies from airport to airport. this is an important thing to point out. we are not creating all of the designs on washington. we noticed local communities and individual airports or facilities that will know what their needs are. we are trying to trying to write more of the funding, but they'll be moving quickly. even before you see the improvements finished you will see a lot of construction jobs associated with it. will we see any projects tht resemble some of the historic infrastructure investment years ago such as when the nation built the interstate highway system? >> sure. we are funding a lot of improvements for roads and bridges too but in a better way i would say than what has been on the past. there are a lot of lessons from
10:11 am
choice of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. a lot of communities can point to where highway that was put in the period that they didn't pay attention to the community or listen to the community. it really t up and separated a lot of our accounts. we are also funding ways to reconnect those communities when a rail line or highway erpasses doing as much harm as good. we will do it better this time. the 2020s i think will be remembered as a period where we set up infrastructure we are going to be proud of for an entire century. i'm thrilled to be part of the process of working with states, cities, communities, airports and transit authorities, to get that work done. >> let's go to a red-hot issue in washiton, your husband tweeted after justice brett cavanaugh left a washington restaurant due to protesters, the tweet reads felt like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions. is that appropriate, sir? >> look.
10:12 am
when public officials go into public life, we should expect to grow things. one, they should always be free from violence, harassment, and intimation. to go, you will never be free from criticism or peaceful protest. people exercising their first amendment rights. that is what happened in this case. remember, the justice never even came into contact with these protesters. reportedly didn't see or hear them. these processes are upset because an important rite that the majority of americans support was taken away. not only the right to choose, by the way, but this justice was part of the process of stripping away the right to privacy. as long as i've been alive, the law in the united states has been that the constitution protected the right to privacy. that has now been thrown out the window by justices, including justice cavanaugh who i recall swore up and down in front of god and everyone including united states congress that they were going to leave settled
10:13 am
case law alone. yes, people are upset. they're going to exercise their first amendment rights long as it's peaceful that is protected. compare that, for example, to the reality that as a country right now we are reckoning with the fact that a mob, someone by the former president -- >> me follow-up >> for the purpose of overthrowing the election. very nearly succeeded in the peaceful transfer of power. i think common sense to tell the difference. >> is a high-profile public figure, sir, are you comfortable with protesters protesting when you and your husband go to dinner at a restaurant? >> protesting peacefully outside in a public space, sure. look, i can't even tell you the number of spaces, venues, and scenarios where i haven't protested. the bottom line is this. and a public figure should always, always be free from violence, intimidation, and harassment. but should never be free from criticism or people exercising their first member writes. >> let me ask you a camping question, sir. do you expect president biden to
10:14 am
run for reelection in 2024? if not, will you run? >> yes, i do expect them to run, i will support him. let me tell you why he will have a lot to be proud of. couches her words carefully because i'm appearing as an official and this is not a campaign related appearance. i am proud to be part of this administration that has done so much work to bring america back from the brink of a recession. to create record job growth. to build achievements that were not of been thought possible just a couple of years ago. like the bipartisan infrastructure law that i have the honor of working on, people scott of the idea that you could eat anything done on a bipartisan basis in washington. and yet, the president delivered it. et cetera years and years, multiple presidents, multiple congresses coming and going promising infrastructure bills without any results. this president, this administration, got it done and i am proud to be part of that. >> mr. secretary, thank you and thank you for making time this morning. >> my pleasure, thank you.
10:15 am
>> up next the impact of the supreme court ruling on abortion and how could change through trajectory and outcome of november's midterm ections. we will speak to two senate leaders next. (vo) while you may not be a pediatric surgeon volunteering your topiary talents at a children's hospital — your life is just as unique. your raymond james financial advisor gets to know you, your passions, and the way you give back. so you can live your life. that's life well planned.
10:16 am
10:17 am
>> right now, senator the democrats are in negotiations to bring back parts of the presidents build back better agenda which fell apart last year. to get it on there trying to find an agreement without the help of republicans on prescription drug pricing, climate spending, and tax increases on the wealthy. but senate republicans are pushing back and threatening to
10:18 am
pull support from another major bill in the process. in a moment will speak live with the senate majority, democrat dick durbin of illinois, but first from wyoming, send an mike senator john barrasso, senator bourassa, welcome back to "fox news sunday." >> thanks, mike. >> so, senate leader mitch mcconnell was trying to have senate democrats choose between the by partisan bill to help the industry during domain versus a democrat only prescription drugs packages that because democrats all sick together, he has limited options? >> well, american people are furious right now, and it's all about inflation. that's what this election is going to be about, and the future of our country. only 80% of americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. we see now is the democrats see the handwriting on the wall, the president's own poster said this is the worst environment he has
10:19 am
ever seen in his lifetime for democrats. so, they are trying in a hail mary pass, chuck schumer said he is once again trying this build back biden trying to bring it back and rises from the dead trillion dollars in taxes, make. more government spending, piling on in the green new deal, does anybody actually believe that raising taxes by a trillion dollars is going to help inflation? or that taxing companies that produce our oil, our gas, to help that that will lower the cost of energy question were not a single republicans going to support this, mike. to my friend joe mansion from west virginia whose vote is going to be necessary for this, i remind him that joe biden popularity in that state is as low as it is in wyoming. only 17%. joe shouldn't walk the plank for joe biden. >> part of that partisan mansion schumer proposal is expected to include as he mentioned bringing about a trillion dollars in revenue with what we are told
10:20 am
half expected to go towards deficit reduction, half towards energy and health care spending. is there an economic argument to be made that now is not the time for that kind spending? >> what we have seen with the last big democrat only spending bill, it made inflation a lot worse. democrats, the economists that worked for clinton, barack obama said don't do it. it's going to bring out all of this inflation. joe biden ignore their advice. he denied that there was inflation. the american people know what they want. families are really hurting all across the country. when i talk to people around wyoming in terms of inflation, their spending $100 a week more now than they were last year just to keep up. and what do you really want? do you want enough money to be able to fill your tank with gas. you want enough money that you can buy a week's worth of groceries anyone enough money to pay the bills at the end of the
10:21 am
month. joe biden is not going there. no. he is going to higher taxes, more government spending, and attacking american energy. that is not the solution the american people are looking for, which is why only one in ten americans supported the direction of america right now. >> list document terms of they believe they have a golden opportunity to win back the majority but if candidates like herschel walker, eric brightens, and dr. oz are not winning over the voters, is there a possibility of the g.o.p. could blow this opportunity? >> i am very optimistic about the future election coming up in november. the number one issue is inflation. all of the issues people care about, they look to republicans as a solution. on inflation, on energy, on the economy, on the chaos of the border, on crime in the cities. all those nominees you just mentioned, some are already the nominees, others are still in
10:22 am
primaries that have been decided. what we know is they understand their states. they understand the pain people are having in those states. right now you have candidates running as democrats who just this past week, and ohio, the senate and the governor candidate refused to even show up or be seen when president biden came to their states. people are distancing themselves as democrats from this demonstration. i'm very optimistic about our opportunities in november. >> there are a few reports of formal president trump could announce a third run for the white house before the midterms. are you concerned that combined with the roe v. wade reversal could really galvanize and energize democratic voters ahead of the midterms? >> people make their own decision as to what they vote on and how they decide to vote. i will tell you. when president trump was in the white house, gas prices were half what they are today.
10:23 am
inflation was nonexistent. the border was secure. we were energy independent. joe biden is headingo saudi arabia hat in hand saying please give us more energy because he has killed energy in america. we need to get back to energy dominance, not energy dependence. president proc trump got us there. >> your fellow wyoming republican liz cheney who has perhaps been the most outspoken critic of former president trump than the primary fight of her life. do you see any path to victory for congresswoman cheney? >> well, wyoming politics is very personal, make periods face to face. it is town to town. as you know, liz and i disagree. i voted against impeachment of president trump, she was for it. i voted against a pardus in january 6 commission, she is all in on that. the election is in for another month. the travel i have done around
10:24 am
the state, i think she has a lot of work to do she hopes to win the primary. you say who is leading rightg tt of people selling advertisements. fox news is doing very well. >> she has encouraged wyoming democrats to cross over and vote for her. are there enough wyoming democrats out there to make a difference in her race? >> well, number one, this wouldn't be the first time that democrats cross over and for the registration and vote in republican primaries. there are really not that many democrats out there. even the chairman of the democratic party of wyoming said they are not enough democrats to do that. >> senator barrasso thank you so much. always good to speak with you. >> think it's a much. >> joining us from illinois, dick durbin, number one democrat in the senate, welcome back to fox news sunday. >> good to be with you.
10:25 am
>> lawmakers passed the first gun reform package a month ago. first significant gun reform in three decades, and yet this week your beautiful state was rocked by a mass shooting in highland park. sir, do you see any appetite for additional legislation whether it be on guns or other root causes? >> i certainly hope so. i hope my colleagues will take a look at what happened in highland park. less than a week ago and what happened that day a core seven people were killed, scores were injured by a killer who got them top of the building and took a military weapon, smith & wesson military and police weapon, and fired up to 90 rounds in a few seconds. before scattering and running and said things happened. we found a 2-year-old who is protected by his father's dying body, and he was finally united with his grandparents because he lost both his father
10:26 am
and his mother to the shooter. this week we had good news. an 8-year-old who was hit by this killer is starting to speak again. he's coming out of critical condition. whether he will walk again is anyone's question at this point. the question we have to ask ourselves and i will ask my colleagues is is this what we want in america? when people and families bring out the kids for fourth of july parades, that some killer can take a military style weapon and fire off 90 rounds into a crowd of innocent people and killing so many? i don't think that is consistent with america's values or its constitution. >> senator, the suspect in this week's shooting invaded your states red flag laws. is there a loophole there to be close? >> well, certainly. if you look across the nat we have to be much more vigilant. there are over 10 million of these military assault weapons that have been sold. some say as many as 20 million.
10:27 am
there are 400 million guns in america, and they are arguing, some are arguing we need more guns in the hands of more people. it certainly hasn't made us a safer nation. we have had mass shootings this year. i didn't know which of this fourth of july break that illinois and my state would be touched personally as it has been in highland park. ultimately, every senator sadly every senator has to face a prospect that they will have their own highland park before this is over. >> to be fair, if you were just about gun laws, wouldn't chicago some of the toughest gun laws in the country be a safer city? >> let me tell you something quickly. highland park is not chicago. at the suburb of chicago. a small town, a great small town. it's the first place he would have chosen to go to a fourth of july parade with your son or grandson or granddaughter. it is a wonderful community. people say chicago is so dangerous, yes, it is. but so is st. louis. so are the towns of jackson,
10:28 am
mississippi, and others have a murder rate as well. it's a fact we proliferated so many guns, the police that i sat down privately on a regular basis say senator, you have no idea how any guns are out there. they are so easily accessible. gun industries made a lot of money out of this but american is not safe because of it. >> let me clear want to be expressing my heartfelt condolences to those of highland park. let's talk policy on capitol hill. chuck schumer is having conversations with your sender colleague joe mansion trying to do a slimmed-down version of build back better. what is the nature of those conversations, take us inside and what is left to be ironed out? >> the high prices of prescription drugs. even before this period of the economy, american families also said that the price of prescription drugs are also so high. people cannot afford the
10:29 am
medicines they need to survive. the wonder of the same drugs in america costs a fraction of what we pay for them in countries like canada and europe and they wonder why we haven't done anything as a nation to bring down the cost of prescription drugs. the democrats, chuck schumer, all of us are working towards bringing down these prices to say to people who are facing insulin-dependent diabetes that the cost of their drugs and insulin will be left to my css and not more than $35 a month. dramatic changes, bringing down prices that families struggle with every single day. now senator mcconnell was coming up and sing out to stop the sever to bring down prescription drug prices. i don't want you to do it and you shouldn't do it and if you persist in this effort to do it i will stop the building gives us better competition with china. the industry is essential to economic growth and job creation in this country and we've lost ground pair you have to build a change of mcconnell says he wants to stop that bill. going to do it if we should violate the pharmaceutical
10:30 am
companies plead to us not to lower prescription drug prices. the bottom line is this. in american family needs help in playing dumb i paying the bills and they need help in life-saving drugs being affordable. the democrats are leaving that, senator, mcconnell opposes it. >> their democrats right now pushing for structural changes to the united states supreme court. here now is congresswoman alexandria apostle cortez. >> congress, we have the possibility. when we are strengthened by the repeal of the filibuster or even the change to a talking filibuster or a standing filibuster, in doing so we can codify roe all the other cases the supreme court indicated they would threaten. we can codify same-sex marriage and the right to can't know my contraception. we can codify interracial marriage and we can do that. [cheers and applause] >> firing up the bass that major changes are coming when in fact you don't have the votes in the
10:31 am
senate. >> i can tell you that the bottom line is she wants to change the filibuster rule when it comes to voting rights and other issues. i support that. i think we ought to make an exception to the 60 vote requirement we get down to fundamental questions like this. it's really up to the senators who were currently serving, 50 democrats, two of them decided not to vote with us on one of these rule changes earlier. whether they have changed their position on that since the supreme court handed down this decision, taking out the constitutional right of americans i don't know but i'll be asking. >> as chairman of the judiciary committee what is he to progressive's calling for impeaching some of the conservative justices? >> i don't think it's realistic. i can tell you that there is in my mind a clear conflict of interest when it comes to justice thomas, and issues with the january 6th insurrection. his wife is actively involved politically. going so far as to give direct
10:32 am
advice to the president's chief of staff during the crisis. i would think that justice thomas should recuse himself from any decisions that relate to the january 6th episode. already, he was a single vote earlier on a case related to that issue. i think it's a mistake as to whether or not he's going to be impeached, that is not realistic. he should show good judgment. if this court is going to be credible needs to be as apolitical as possible. exactly the opposite is what is been happening. >> senator from a lot of headlines this week about democratic governors including your own, j.b. pritzker of illinois. you think gridlock here in washington could potentially create an opening for one of these democrats to challenge president biden in 2024? >> i'm not looking had six years. i'm looking into this week and whether we can come together. democrats and republicans to get something done in washington. bring down the cost of prescription drugs. deal with this issue which is
10:33 am
frozen economic expansion in this country. let's get this agenda underway, and the election in just a few months will take care of itself with the one year off which is certainly er the horizon. >> at senator durbin, thank you so much for joining us. >> good to be with you. >> up next to bring in our sunday group for the seeming disconnect on the voter's impression of the economy in the white house. ♪ ♪
10:34 am
10:35 am
we call it oleyumi. you call it california. our land, our culture, our people once expansive, now whittled down to a small community. only one proposition supports california tribes like ours. while providing hundreds of millions in yearly funding to finally address homelessness in california. vote yes on 27. tax online sports betting and protect tribal sovereignty and help californians that are hurting the most.
10:36 am
and protect tribal sovereignty >> we are a stronger economically than we have been in history. >> white house press secretary jean-pierre saying it is strong despite inflation not seen for decades. session fears on the minds of many americans, it is time now
10:37 am
for our sunday group. "usa today" washington bureau teaches student page, fox news contributor been dominant and npr national political correspondent mara license panel welcome to have him around the table. >> good to be here. susan, let's start here. with a strong drudge report this week, the white house took a bit of victory lap and a new model with pulses only about 10% of the country thinks the country is headed in the right direct direction. what about the disconnect here? >> it was a good job support. the news on employee imprint continues to be strong. perhaps we won't head into a recession from mixed signals on that but inflation just overwhelms over the. inflation affects americans every time they fill up the tank of their car. infects the might affect some of the time to go to the grocery store to buy something. that's the economic indicator that defines people's sentiment that the nation is headed in the wrong direction. one of the number from that poll, only 10% of americans think country is headed in the right direction. that is a devastating and
10:38 am
historic number. >> lesson four months out from midterm elections, and you have the democrats trying to get some of the spending across the finish line. the slimmed-down build back better, is that putting republicans in an awkward spot? >> i don't think so. is something i think now are you of certain things baked in for this election. they are not going to change. the kinds of uncertainty, the kinds of questions americans have about their pocketbook issues, not just energy prices susan said, but the other effects they are seeing, that run through our economy and lots of different challenging ways are just things i don't think this white house or board of the democratic party will be able to turn around and time to change things for november. >> want you want to jump in? >> i think time is short and everyone agrees on that. if you look back over the last three weeks democrats are in a better position than we would've anticipated. not just because of the good jobs numbers we saw on friday.
10:39 am
but you think about it for a second, gas prices are actually headed down, there still too high with their head in the right direction. in addition to that, we have to stop and think about the januars had success in terms of penetrating public consciousness in public opinion in terms of bringing chaos and trumps chaos to the four were in the conversation again. and then you think about the abortion decision. you think about the gun massacres that have taken place, you touched on that with senator durbin. a lot of these issues don't play well for republicans, played better for the democrats to make their republicans look like. >> i don't believe, juan, that january 6 party is got any closer to public gating the conscious. i think the numbers you see in fact in responses decisions don't support the idea that there be a dramatic change in terms of democrats getting a huge vote number out. the gun issue, while it does play against republicans timed
10:40 am
again, it doesn't actually have this kind of election changing format. >> i think of you look at the generic numbers, just the generic numbers, deeper public and a democrat in november, those numbers of narrow. now it democrats the lead sometimes and less three weeks over this issue. >> it's bryn mawr end of this mix. with an op-ed this morning defending his meeting with saudi leaders and saying he has restored stability to the middle east region. when you make of a question work >> the op-ed didn't mention the word oil. that's what he was accused of. downplaying human rights. which the saudis have violated a lot. to go hat in hand pump more oil. that the op-ed did not mention. the middle east is really important region. the president has to go over there, he is trying to tout his accomplishments. is a difficult position to be in. because he wanted to make saudi arabia a pariah. i think that that is the actual word he used. and said no he will be meeting with those leaders. >> susan we are learned earlier
10:41 am
friday morning we went about the assassination of xin zo abe, talk about his relationship over the years. >> he met with four them when he was president. he built strong u.s.-japan ties. also was important in getting japan to move past its world war ii legacy on military, it built a stronger military and took a particularly interesting stance toward china and talk to the chinese leader. recently stood up for the rights of taiwan the need for either democracy to defend taiwan. deftly very powerful, longest-serving japanese prime minister in its history, a big loss and shocking in japan for there to be gun violence. >> ben, another major shake-up, political shake-up in london with boris johnson announcing he will be leaving office. >> is a prep massive problem
10:42 am
with the truth. when he was caught, he did with boris johnson always does and he tried to lie his way out of it. >> is boris johnson's department to departure about policy or politics question work >> well, first off when we say, my condolences to a former editor at the spectator where i am also editor at large now. for one out for boris. he is the third prime minister in a row brought down by boris johnson. in certain respects, which i think we should appreciate. he is an incredible figure, and someone that i think certainly changed the dynamic. part of the problem here is that boris stopped being boris. by that i mean he stopped being the kind of populist that conservatives could have confidence in when it came to forming the kind of coalition th led to getting 14 million votes in 2019. the problem for them now is that
10:43 am
forming the coalition again i think will prove to be very impossible. just the one thing i think we should appreciate about politics in the u.k. is that as much as people may speak in high judge and drought honesty or scandalous some like this, this is such a farcical reason for him to be punched out on so many different respects. it had a lot more to do with the failure of covert code related policies periods break with a lot of the things he stood for before he ascended to the pm position not due to spending also so much on parties or drapes. will be the equivalent of getting rid of it gavin newsom for going to the french laundry. it doesn't really track as being very serious. >> wand, how do you speak of him announcing his departure? >> i think talking about as a populist leader flatley trump in that regard. we see that trump is a kind of man of nine lives, always
10:44 am
reinventing himself, trying to retain position of power. clearly the conservatives in britain got rid of johnson. put republicans and conservatives here are still locked into trump. i think johnson wants to influence who might come next, his successor, maybe he thinks he might be reelected at some point. he will make a lot of money on the speaking circuit writing, i am sure. may be back in the spectator. [laughter] >> he could also come back to america. >> i think he does want to have some influence on the bugs that deal, what's come forward with breaks it. i think is a more global concern, the ukraine. he has been a great friend to president zelenskyy and the ukrainians. i think many people want to make sure that remains in place. >> panel we are into a great start up next a string of mass shootings adding to costs for new gun reforms and change here in washington. we will discuss a response from some of the nation's governors leading the charge plus what the

- [reporter] the death of george floyd who died in police custody monday night. - turning my pain into purpose is pretty much what i have done to start this foundation. (gentle music) it's gonna take more than just us, you know, as a foundation. it's gonna take the community, the world to help us make a change, 'cause it just can't be us.
10:48 am
(gentle music) >> president biden: you heard what happened today but each day we are reminded that there is nothing guaranteed about our democracy. nothing guaranteed about our way of life. >> if you're angry today, i am here to tell you be angry. i am furious. i'm furious that yet more innocent lives were taken by gun violence. >> that is president biden and illinois governor j.b. pritzker both reacted to the horrific july 4th parade shooting. and somewhat contrasting tones were back now with the panel.
10:49 am
mara, you heard different response from the president and the illinois governor. some people criticize and where the president responded, elevating governor pritzker's response, your thoughts question work >> there are some democratic activists the one at the president to be more fie. there is my not much difference between pritzker and the president. they both want gun safety laws, including you can't buy a gun until you are 21. you have to have a universal background check. those things are supported by huge majorities of americans. and some polls over 80 or 90% or for those measures. they cannot get passed by congress. that i think is the root of real democrats frustration. >> i think it's all about 2024. >> than there is that. because several democrats who want to run if biden doesn't. may be if biden does, think maybe some of this, the rhetoric we're hearing now is aimed at president biden, maybe you should reconsider whether you will announce that you run for another term.
10:50 am
you see, such an ease among democrats about what's going to happen this november. them with the prospects are looking to use on the road. >> to pick up on that, you have governor gavin newsom from california going after governor ron desantis from florida periods is about raising his profile or is he considering a primary run against president biden? >> it's hard to swing with the governor of california is paying to run an ad against the florida governor in florida unless he is looking down the road. both of those governors i think of ambitions for the white house. we will see how it goes for each of them. ron desantis, definitely annoying former president trump. pretty open about his ambitions here. >> been coming to florida voters give a darn about what gavin newsom is saying? are those ads going to make any difference or are they just going to make them but feel better about their governor being out there high-profile? >> in the last couple of years, two years i believe, more than
10:51 am
11,000 people moved from california to florida bringing with them about $1.9 billion worth of business according to the americans over tax reform. so, i think there's definitely some movement if it's not in the direction of california. to pick up on susan's point, i do think these are kind of signals to the white house, signals to joe biden and signals to the democratic donors that you don't have to necessarily do this again. you saw the piece "the new york times" this morning. he saw the piece that ran in "the washington post." he saw another beast coming out now about increasingly open skepticism that joe biden can run again given the levels of unpopularity and the levels of difficulty that this white house has faced. >> look at the polls and the number of people that don't want trump to run again. republicans. pretty similar to a number of democrats don't want biden to run again. >> okay juan, the imbalance of
10:52 am
power they seem to be struggling a bit to connect with voters. i am thinking of herschel walker, dr. oz, erica brightens, perhaps others. what is that doing to mitch mcconnell's hopes of being the majority leader in the new congress? >> i think you just have to look at his behavior. right now he seems like he is upset about the possibility of the democrats passing this prescription drug bill that you discussed earlier in the show. and also the competitivess bill. i think the democrats clearly want to say we are doing something. we can get things done, and mitch mcconnell's tactic over the years has been to stall, obstruct, he is employing that tactic now at the risk of looking hypocritical because he supports these bills ipast. so, the question becomes what does he think? just what you said, mike, he is worried now that looks better for the democrats with weak republican
10:53 am
nominees looking and running for the senate seats. the numbers in georgia have shifted recently with suddenly senator warner doing much better against herschel walker. look in pennsylvania, similar shifts. i think setor mcconnell's were aware of it. >> been where you hearing in conservative circles? how much alarm as their? was seen in the past they thought they could bring back the majority in previous election cycles and it didn't work out. are the republican's going to squander this opportunity question marks because they are great at it. ideas don't run for office, people do. as part of the problem they are facing in the sense that you can have ideas of going against the biden agenda of emphasizing energy and dependence, of not embracing some of the more radical policies and high spending that has been embraced in last couple of years. if you are the people on the trail vocalizing this, with
10:54 am
significant personal challenges, that makes it tough to do. that being said, every indication that we have in terms of the overall perspective, the right track run, wrong track, the level of shifts you have seen, and in some of these special elections and the like seem to indicate a republican wave year that may come as we see and we've years before, and of sending a lot of people to washington who no one ever expected to make it there. >> perhaps some races that are not getting front and center attention could be surprises, places like new hampshire, colorado, arizona. >> i think nevada will be one of these races that could be critical in terms of determining whether mcconnell is in the majority. >> there really two models we see. was a wave election really sweeps away the democratic majority in the house. i think you meant democrats are pessimistic and think that will happen. but there been cases where senate candidates have been able to shield themselves from a wave to some degree. so democrats do hope to hold onto even just a 50/50 split.
10:55 am
think of the difference in joe biden's last two years or second years of his term. stomach has president. if he has a divided congress or if you have congress that is united. >> amara, roe v. wade as a female panelist, what is the impact on midterms? >> that's the big question perry would've these big issues like gun violence in roe v. wade with a energized democratic voters in up to close the enthusiasm gap or make a difference? we don't know that yet. i think the economy still number one trend, 2, and 3 issue. stomach driving voters. >> and the wallow in the to the gas station. >> that is usually below, the reaction to roe was pretty intense. the reaction of the gun violence is intense and democrats are hopeful those kinds of issues can help energize their base. >> juan, do you think they hold on or are we looking at a republican senate? >> i think that is up in the air. i would've tught earlier that there was more likelihood that it would lean republican.
10:56 am
i don't think that of the moment, but in terms of the house, this goes back to the fact that americans have gone through the pandemic. they are upset about gas prices. they are just angry, and we see historically they vote against the incumbent in its midterms, it happened to clinton and obama, it happened trump. i think it is likely to happen in the house again. >> panelist, thank you so much bread we will see you next sunday. up next, final word on the week ahead. ♪ ♪
