neil. >> neil: thank you very much aishah hasnie on capitol hill. if you think democrats have a problem getting the word about inflation out and try to say they are on top of it, republicans are not getting high marks either. it is a jumble. lee carter following all of that. lee, what does it mean when the electric seems to have on both parties. >> i think the problem is most americans don't feel like the government is out to fight for them. i think they were about everybody feels the government is against each other and nothing is getting accomplished. so you have this huge group of people feel both parties have led them down. republicans messaging has primarily been how bad things are with inflation. the problem there, most people know what they want to hear and that is a solution how to make it better. meanwhile, democrats say they do make things will be okay but people don't feel it is okay. so they feel they are out of touch. what the democrats do have is a message on abortion. i think it's important that republicans take this seriously because

to aishah hasnie hahn capitol hill where both sides are trying to iron out something to deal with this. aishah, good luck on that front. what is the latest? >> that's right. democrats first and foremost aren't even united on whether the border is secure or not. but they are in total agreement that the border is a problem that needs to be fixed. to the point that even progressive representative ro khanna is now calling on the vice president to try to help democrats strike a deal on immigration reform. watch. >> do you think she's doing a good job with the border? >> i think we need a better solution on comprehensive immigration reform. what i'd say to the vice president is help lead to get comprehensive immigration reform done. >> so will she help lead to do that? that's inclear. she and the president think the border is already secure, neil. it's contrary to what bill melugin just reported. the countless images we show you every day of thousands crossing into the southern border. congressional democrats are forced to re-visit this issue seven weeks before election day because the mayor

i'm aishah hasnie. >> john: thanks nor being here. i'm john roberts. "the story" with martha starts right now. >> martha: good an. i'm martha maccallum. dana perino will be here to talk about new tough polling that we're seeing from president biden's own party. we'll break that down with both of them. first, obviously the big story this afternoon, a fox news weather alert. hurricane ian is now picking up speed. you can see it churning away as it heads in to the gulf of mexico this hour. millions are bracing for what could be called catastrophic conditions there. we've never seen storm surge like the kind that is predicted in this area of florida. they're expecting surges up to 15 feet, the height in the past was four feet. so they're trying to shut it all down right now. that's what you're looking at on the right-hand side. airports closing, schools closing, waterways. ever battening down the hatches ahead of what is termed a 100-year storm. so most people by far have not witnessed anything like this who are living in florida right now, this is the stu

aishah hasnie will be here. i'm john roberts. >> martha: i'm jacqui heinrich. "the story" starts now. >> martha: thanks very much, john and jackie. i'm martha maccallum. this hour on "the story," we're going to hear from law enforcement in philadelphia. did you see this video? unbelievable over the weekend. a horrific assault by dozens and dozens of criminals, many teenagers at a wawa. they ransacked the whole thing. we expect an update from law enforcement about these individuals and the investigation into this. we'll bring that to you moments away. also, over to the white house this hour. reportedly turning their ire on the head of the world bank. and it may have something to do with his refusal to bend to john kerry on climate change. we'll tell you the back story there. first, as you know, we are getting very close to the mid-terms as we get inside six weeks. very tight in these races. once again, it could come down to that number of places but could come down to georgia where herschel walker is gaining on the incumbent, raphael warnock with this sort of st

aishah hasnie following the back and forth on all of this on capitol mill. asia?really stalled because republicans on the hill believe democrat are the really trying to put the cart before the horse when it comes to immigration reform. in fact senior gop senator john cornyn of texas as you know is a big deal-maker on the hill told reporters he cannot see bipartisan immigration reform until this administration really deals with the crisis at the border. now his comments come as president biden and vice president harris continue to claim the border is quote, secure. in reality, neil, you and i both know thousands of migrants are being caught on camera every single day climbing fences, crossing the rio grand river to get to the u.s. while authorities are busting smugglers bringing in deadly drugs like fentanyl. pressure on congress to do something has reached a boiling point here in washington as the governors of texas, arizona, florida, continue to bus hundreds of migrants to blue cities and states. the biggest headliner, a short while ago the group sent by florida

[laughter] but it's just more of the same. i think so many of us see this as erasing history, or an attempt to do so, at or to vilify people who actually made significant contributions to our country, to the world as a whole. i'm not sa
