speech. trump would be smart to reach out to the millions of people who voted for me and continue to support me. and not assume that they're just going to be with him. >> bret: talk more about this on the panel. meanwhile tonight, president biden is essentially giving away another big round of student loan debt relief he's tries to reverse his dropping poll numbers, especially with young people ahead of the november vote. critics say this will ultimately be given to the taxpayer. white house correspondent jacqui heinrich is with us tonight live tonight from the north lawn. good evening, jacqui. >> jacqui: good evening, bret. the supreme court said that president biden overstepped his authority when they blocked his plan to cancel $400 billion in student loan debt but he has gotten around the high court by changing the rules for existing programs. and as of today, he has met nearly half of his original goal. >> white house is relaxing

student loan forgiveness guidelines for public service workers and some income based repayment plans. an additional 160,000 borrowers will see their loans canceled and quote each of those borrows has reached an average of $35,000 in debt cancellation. what if you are not among the 4.8 million americans seen debt wiped away under biden. >> we are trying to help people in different communities as well. folks who don't have to get that college degree and can get -- make six figure salary. making sure healthcare, healthcare is more affordable. getting that prescription drugs, many for diabetes, for cancer. making sure that those costs are lower, insulin. >> the latest round of forgiveness, $7.7 billion brings the total under biden to 167 billion. critics calling it a lopsided handout at taxpayer expense. >> it's unamerican in the sense that there are many people who have already paid back their student loans and cohorts in the

past. those in the future that may still not get this, people that never got to go to college because they figured they couldn't afford it. >> the white house punted on whether it contributes to inflation but one number they don't want to see jump is the price at the pump. the former president blasting biden for releasing a million gallons of gas from the strategic reserve to keep prices stable ahead of the 4th of july holiday. >> he has been doing this to keep the prices down but the prices are now higher than they have been in a long time. they are very high. so he is trying to stop that because high gasoline prices are not good for elections if you are on his side. >> republican attorneys general are trying to overturn biden's plan saying it defies the supreme court ruling. but fox polls have the president down some 14 points among the under 30 crowd since he came into office. and a new quinnipiac poll shows a sizeable chunk of persuadable registered votersen out sidelines with 52% of r.f.k. supporters saying they are likely to change their minds

before november, bret. >> bret: jacqui heinrich live on the north lawn, jacqui, thanks. the stocks were down as the federal reserve suggest interest rates may stay higher for longer. the dow losing 202. the s&p 500 was off 14. the nasdaq fell 31. we're less than two weeks away from the scheduled start of the hunter biden trial on federal gun charges. that takes place in delaware. meantime, there's another one. today lawyers for the president's son are in southern california, trying to get a delay there in a second criminal proceeding. this time on tax charges. correspondent david spunt is in los angeles tonight with the latest from that. good evening, david. >> david: hello, bret. good evening. a victory for the president's son as the federal judge postponed the start of his trial by about two and a half months for abbe lowell pleaded with the judge to delay the trial from

june 20th to september 5th it allow them to prepare for more time. this would be about two months before the election. the chief reason hunter goes to trial federal gun charges in delaware june 3rd and his legal team just needs more time. also in court today, bret, kevin morris, the multi-millionaire impairment lawyer who paid hunter biden's tax bills and helped cover some of his legal bills. recent reports indicate is he scaling back financial support on the president's son his taxes eventually paid back with the help of kevin morris. separately house republicans today released new information they say proves hunter biden lied to congress when he testified behind closed doors for deposition earlier this year. now they point to a 2017 whatsapp message as an example. in it hunter allegedly told a chinese businessman he was sitting with his father and wanted money. the committee today says phone

records prove he was texting that exact businessman though he told them in a deposition earlier this year he texted another person, according to republicans. hunter's attorney abbe lowell in a statement to fox news says republicans are wrong. hunter never lied to congress and the impeachment effort against president biden is an utter failure. bret? >> bret: all right, david spunt, live in l.a. david, thanks. one particular border vijay at the top of the list for illegal crossings from the middle east and asia. a resident picks up after many of the migrants there and tells us what he finds. good evening, bill. >> bill: bret, good evening to you, the san diego sector where we are ground zero for mass illegal crossings from adult men from the middle east in asia. they really don't seem to have any fear of consequences or deportation when they get here.

take a look at this video we shot right here in ha couple ba where i'm standing in the men crossing non-nonchalantly. several are known as special interest aliens meaning they come from countries with potential national security concerns and should be subject to additional dhs vetting. >> where are you guys from what country. >> pakistan. >> pakistan. >> india. >> india. where are you from. >> turkey. >> turkey? >> yeah. >> bill: turkey, okay. where are you from. >> china. >> ecuador? >> iran. >> iran. why did you come? >> no freedom. >> no freedom. >> a lot of these people. >> bill: we met up with a local resident out here corey, he goes out and collects all of these discarded passports and ids that he says illegal immigrants are dropping as soon as they cross here in jacumba.

he has hundreds of them from china, from afghanistan, from pakistan, saudi arabia, turkey, many others, some of them are burned, cut, and shredded? they are just dropping this stuff on the ground to come here and assume a new identity. it's a little bit scary from my military background and seeing the people coming across that male, male, male. these are all military aged male. people keep saying that i have the proof right here border patrol san diego sector seeing the most crossings of anywhere on the border. that's the first time that's happened since the 1990s. bret, back to you. >> bret: bill, from talking to people down there, has the flow changed in recent weeks? >> bill: it has. it has sloan down from what we were seeing late last year when we had those sky high record numbers. the main reason that is happening is the mexican military is now deployed on the other side of the border all

over the southern border. that happened after secretary of state antony blinken and secretary mayorkas of dhs went down to mexico and made some sort of deal. some sort of arrangement where the mexicans are now picking up enforcement on their side of the border. >> bret: bill melugin on the border. thanks. a former aid to then chief medical adviser dr. anthony fauci grilled today on capitol hill about his role in alleged obstruction of the investigation into the origins of the coronavirus. dr. david morris is accused of trying to subvert federal record keeping laws rich he had sony has details from capitol hill. >> good evening, bret. bipartisan criticism for dr. david more rens for emails he sent instructing colleagues and contacts i learned from foia lady here how to make emails

disappeared after i'm foiaed and before the search starts. i think we're safe. foye a the freedom of information act is a lou that gives americans' access to their government's records and communications. the select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic released these emails ahead of its hearing with more reasons. many regard ecohealth spent money on the instituted of virology where many republicans suspect the leak started the covid-19 pandemic. in april of 2021, the trump administration terminated funding for ecohealth's bat coronavirus project in china. last year the biden administration restored funding with restrictions. last week the department of health and human services barred it from further contracts for failing to properly monitor research. now, just before the trump administration blocked the initial grant morens wrote

daszak i can either send on private gmail or hand it to him at work or house. is he too smart to colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. morens maintains he thought he was consulting with daszak in his personal capacity. >> unintentionally or not did you conduct government business through your personal email account. >> some of the emails that you all provided look pretty incriminating. i don't remember what they are but yes, it looks like i made a mistake on more than one occasion but it certainly wasn't my intention to do that. >> a spokesperson says it is hhs policy that government employees conduct their government work on government email. bret? >> bret: rich edson live on the hill. rich, thanks. up next, european nations putting the squeeze on israel. what the u.s. is doing in response. trey yingst with the story. brit hume with analysis. first, beyond our borders tonight. aviation investigators arrive in

countries are announcing a major policy change in the region. correspondent trey yingst shows us from tel aviv. [applause] >> spain, norway, and ireland all taking a symbolic and controversial stand saying they will recognize palestine as a state. >> the attention of several european countries to recognize a palestinian state is a reward for terrorism. 80% of the palestinians in judea and samaria support the terrible massacre of october 7th. this evil cannot be given a state. >> israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu came out against the move, making no distinction between hamas and the palestinian people. civilians like abu with his 4-year-old son headed toward the american pier in gaza this week focused not on politics but on humanitarian policy. >> there is no food in our house. we came to get aid and now we are leaving with nothing. >> nearly 230 day into the conflict, there are major

logistic challenges that are making aid distribution across gaza nearly impossible despite 695 tons of aid being delivered to the shores of the strip. not all of it is making it into palestinian hands and some of the supplies were intercepted this week and taken from trucks heading to a warehouse. >> the issue is not actually getting food to the pier or off the pier. it's being able to ensure that we have necessary security arrangements in place to deliver it. we have -- had modalities to get some of that aid distributed. we are in the process of building out to get more of it distributed. >> it's not just northern gaza affected by logistics, the u.n. halted aid to southern gaza due to a lack of supplies and insecurity. bret? >> bret: trey yingst in tel aviv. thanks. >> each country is entitled to make its own determinations that two state solution should be brought about through negotiation not a unilateral. that's a principle recognition we have held on a regular basis.

we will communicate that to our partners around the world and we will see what unfolds. >> bret: national security adviser jake sullivan reacting to these three countries saying they will recognize palestine as a state. pulled their ambassador from those countries. bring in chief political analyst brit hume. brit, good evening. your thoughts on this move by those countries, reaction from the u.s. and obviously from israel. >> bret: well, it's interesting to wonder what exactly these countries think they are recognizing. are they going to send ambassadors to hamas? are their leaders going to welcome and recognize the ambassadors from hamas? , well, of course not. the reason that this recognition of a palestinian state is kind of an empty gesture is that there is really nothing resembling a state there to recognize. there is no such thing, really under the current circumstances intention to recognize one down the line the united states

probably recognize that view. something we talked about many times since the beginning of this war after october 7th which is anti-semitism, it's far more prevalent than we could have imagined here in the united states i think, bret, and around the world. and when you drill down on these actions, by these governments, there was funding, i suspect, of what they think the popular opinion is in their country and popular opinion is surprisingly soft on the palestinians and, therefore, on hamas. that is where we are it is, you know, the story as old as time but it continues to plague us to this day. >> bret: some of the headlines revolving around the israeli prime minister, house speaker johnson gives schumer an ultimatum to speak. the international criminal court just saved benjamin netanyahu, that's from politico. g.o.p. pushes for icc sanctions, puts democrats in a bind. the icc obviously with that prosecutor moving forward, the

argument is that that shored up netanyahu and his war cabinet and his popularity. the house wants him to speak here in a joint meeting. he last did that in march of 2015. back then speaker boehner was speaker. here's what some senators said today about this possibility. i think republicans in the senate would like to hear how things are going. >> i went the last time he came. >> would you go this time? >> i don't know. i'm not sure. >> the question is whether he has something to say that will be persuasive in supporting our continued solidarity with israel. it should not be a political stunt or ploy. >> bret: what about netanyahu speaking? >> brit: well, at this point, the sentiment in the united states israel in this conflict in gaza is overwhelmingly pro-israel. these politicians you could tell

it from those sowdged bites, bret, how carefully they are treading. john thune says well as a republican senator, welcoming the idea and the other two, the democrats, where there is dissent in that party to say the least about the country's stance towards israel playing it very carefully. if he had something to say i went before, i would maybe not go this time from durbin. i think that's what we are looking at here, bret. i guess it was all those guys said he wanted to be political. this is political democrat better be careful boycott that speech netanyahu come in and get a rousing reception i would imagine and they may regret having done so. >> we will see. brit, as always, thank you try to craft new legislation about

>> today we introduced the presidential ethics reform act. despite our political differences we both understand how the lack of transparency in washington is damaging american faith in our government. >> we want americans to see for themselves now and in the future whether or not our leaders in the white house are influence peddling. we are introducing this bill as one republican and one democrat because this isn't a partisan problem. >> bret: well, that is the definition of common ground. that's this segment. we decided to do two this week. tonight we discussed that new legislation on presidential ethics. joining us tonight house oversight chairman james comer and democratic congresswoman katie porter. thank you both for being here. >> let me start with you. why is this important? i heard that intro there. why there. why this. we are seeing trusting

government and we need to try to restore that and that should not be a partisan. we are seeing democrats not trusting republicans, independents, feeling not heard. every american benefits when we can trust that our president and vice president, going forward into the future, whoever those people may be, are working for us and not for themselves. >> bret: i mean, you guys disagree on a lot of things, mru see pretty much eye to eye. >> yeah, i think the majority of americans would agree with this. this is about confidence in our government. supreme all time low confidence in our government. this is a good way to reverse that let's be transparent. both parties have complained about the last three or four administrations having conflicts of interest. let's fix it. this is a sincere bill that's thorough and substantive and i think it will make a difference. >> bret: it's specific. it's presidents and vice presidents to disclose foreign payments, expensive gifts, loan

transactions. tax returns during the two-year period prior to time in office during time in office, and for two years following the departure from office. it also deals with family members with the same list, which is important. it expands where we currently are. >> absolutely. we should have higher ethics standards for our president and vice president than would he be have for other federal officials. right now they are actually lower. for example, the conflict of interest provision that is in this bill actually already applies to other federal officials. the point of the bill is to make sure that upon taking office, every american can be confident that the president and those who have access to the president are working for the american people. >> bret: mr. chairman, not surprisingly maybe, the congresswoman was not mentioned in the white house statement on this bill ian sam always looking at bright ideas. president biden strictest any in

history. publicly released 26 years of tax returns for people to see the most as ever. publicly releases personal financial disclosures each year. obviously a little pushback from the white house. >> if what ian sam's says is true then the white house should support this legislation. president trump should support this legislation. i know the american people would support it if media and i appreciate you, bret, covering this, if the american people understood this bill, i can't imagine anyone being against it and i certainly wouldn't want to run for any type of office opposing common sense ethics reform legislation because, again, you know, regardless hot president has been both parties have complained about conflicts of interest and ethics issues. there are gray areas in the law. this closes those areas. it closes loopholes. media has influence peddle something cottage industry in washington.

with that's so we should change that. >> bret: you would urge the white house to embrace it? >> president biden has been a real champion for ethics. he said that's going to be a corner stone of his campaign and what his spokesperson said is true. president biden has released 26 years of tax returns. he has put in place strong sthix standards. >> bret: obviously there is questions about his son. >> incredibly consistent with his priorities. i'm optimistic that the white house will support the bill. >> bret: obviously expanding to family members opens up questions that they don't deal with in that statement. >> true. obviously we are seeing more and more president presidents who have adult children, relatives involved i think the goal is to provide the right amount of disclosure to rebuild that trust. that is how we drew the boundaries what do we need to tell the american people to get them to feel confident. we have to include spouse and adult children to be able to do it. >> bret: speaking of disclosure. you paired up with kirsten gill

grand stock act 2.0. just in december. a different version. tell us what that is supposed to do. >> stock act 2.0 ban congressional stock trading. require members of congress to make disclosures about things that might create conflicts of interest. for example, if a february of congress is receiving a subsidy or a payment from the federal government, say, for a business they own it would require that disclosure. it's similarly a good governance, good transparency bill and it has not moved forward in congress and i think one of the things they took from this experience is that a lot of the folks in washington aren't willing to hold themselves to account and i'm really grateful that we have been able to find that common ground to do that. >> bret: do you think there is movement on this stock act, mr. chairman? >> i think it's -- i do. i think a lot of members. it's like term limits. if you force people to vote on it they are going to vote for it. nobody wants to have the perception that their members of congress are trading on stocks s

with insider information. our legislation, if can pass it out of committee, and it would go to the floor, i think that's an amendment that could be put onto the bill. to expand ethics. the reason that's not included in the bill now, bret, is because i would lose jurisdiction. oversight committee has jurisdiction over the executive branch. we'll don't have jurisdiction over the legislative branch. there are opportunities once this bill makes it to the house floor to expand it to include other areas of our government which could include representative porter's bill. >> bret: okay. that's a possibility. i want to just mention. this because somehow quilting has become a unifying figure thing between the two of you. your mom, a big quilter taught people how to quilt. and representative porter, her mom also made a quilt together. featured in the quilter's hall of fame in paducah, kentucky. the national quilt museum is in congressman comer's district and there is a shared love of quilts. that's a unique common ground. >> that's true. we also were both ffa members

and so when i went to mr. comer's office when he became chairman to talk about what i wanted the oversight committee to accomplish, i noticed two things in his office. his framed ffa jacket and i think i impressed you when i was able to degree sight the ffa creed from memory. >> bret: faa is what. >> future farmers of america. >> i was president back in the day. >> he outranked me then and outranks me now: >> my mom collected quilts she didn't make quilts like her mom. her mother is in the paducah kentucky national quilt museum. a very respected member. that's how we developed our relationship. >> bret: wow. thank you very much. pass the word up there. this "common ground" segment. thank you. see all the common ground segment on by podcast common ground find that under the bret baier podcast as fox news podcast.com. spotify or wherever you download podcast, see the discussion on

[cheers] >> that are not challengeable. >> the student debt cancellation gives opportunity for americans to start off to buy a house, to start a family. that adds to the economy. >> there are many people who have already paid back their student loans. people that never got to go to college because they figured they couldn't afford it. it's so unfair. this is free money from a helicopter when we are trying to tame inflation. this just makes it worse. >> bret: well, student loan relief, the white house pushing it. axios writes it this way. the biden administration cancels another 7.7 student loans. the latest round of forgiveness erase 7.7 balances bringing the student debt relief approved by the biden administration to 167 billion. since the supreme court blocked biden's expansive student debt cancellation plan last year the administration has continued to with relief efforts through existing programs. by the way $167 billion, roughly the size of the u.s. army budget. so, just to give you a concept there. let's bring in our panel.

mollie hemingway, editor and chief of the federalist. olivia beavers congressional reporter for politico and guy benson editor of town hall.com and host of the radio show. how does this play politically. >> guy: kevin o'leary, mr. wonderful, made a couple very important points. the first of which needs to be that the supreme court has already struck down an initial iteration of this. former speaker nancy pelosi, when she was speaker said at a press conference that the president of the united states does not have this authority. >> bret: you know, it's wonderful that you talk in ways that i have soundbites for fabulous. >> bret: let's play nancy pelosi. >> people think the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone. dcan delay. but he does not have that power. that would have to be an act of congress. the president can't do it. that's not even a discussion.

>> bret: but it is. it is a discussion. >> guy: how it's a reality. the supreme court says you can't. speaker pelosi says he couldn't and now he has done it multiple times. and even if you t take aside the illegality of it, it's a deeply unfair policy to people who have no student debt. roughly 80 to 58% 85% of the p. people who never went back to college. people who paid back the loans they took out. that's absurd and also hugely inflationary. not just in the economy but the higher education space as well. it is horrible, horrible, economic policy and it also happens to be unlawful. >> bret: strong letter to follow from guy. okay. olivia, if you look at the polls, fox poll, voters view using taxpayer favor 46. oppose 52. obviously this is targeting young people. does it work? >> i mean, that's the question. but, biden has been pleading support with young voters. i think i saw a poll this week

that says is he leading among youngs voters with trump by 8%. compare that to 23% last election cycle. and so he is trying to beat this hammer and get, you know, the young voters to go back even though there are signs he is losing part of his winning coalition. even if you step back even further. he has been trying to, stocks have been going up. there is a trump trial going on. and he has been spending millions in ads and he has not been able to move the needle with some of these national polls as well. >> bret: so, the fox poll choice for president under 30 has it roughly tied in our latest poll, mollie. so, there is a battle. and it has shifted the former president's way in recent weeks. >> this is clearly a move to -- the student loan move is done in response to some of these polls and it might help with young voters it. also plays into two problems that joe biden has right now. one is this whiff of lawlessness around him that he doesn't care

about rule of law. you see it on the border. you see it in the lawfare that he is running against president trump. and you see it with the refusal to uphold with the supreme court has already said about this, which is that it is unconstitutional. but it also speaks to this general ethical fogginess around him. the idea that you would use the public treasury to buy votes is something that a lot of people think joe biden -- it's something that is one of the reasons they don't like joe biden. that he and his family ha v. a ton of ethical problems. >> bret: talking about polls, the economy drives an election, usually. two interesting polls tonight, a poll of voters going on vacation nearly three quarters say higher prices are affecting their travel plans this summer. 72%, a great deal or some say that that's just part of it. they say of those who are not going away, 73% don't have enough money to do so. no time is 15%. you see these numbers. it counter acts some of the great economic numbers that the

biden administration is talking about. it's how people feel and are dealing with it at home. >> guy: earlier today on social media, there were a lot of experts dunking on a recent poll that showed most americans believe that we're in a recession. technically, we don't have back-to-back quarters of economic contraction, so we are not in a recession. i think that poll response is actually a gut feeling manifestation of some of the other numbers you just put up. it's what people are experiencing and how they are feeling in their own lives. not just how they feel about the country. in their own finances as well. i think terrific terrifi tiskint know what an recession is that really misses the point. >> bret: nikki haley comes out speaking for the first time. take a listen. >> i will be voting for trump. having said that, i stand by what i said in my suspension speech. trump would be smart to reach

out to the millions of people who voted for me and who continue to support me and not assume that they are just going it be with him. and i genuinely hope he does that. >> bret: now, loyola, is that an effort to get on a ticket or is that just a reach out to my voters? she has been getting this vote every primary state, you know, it's 10, 15, 20%. what do you think of that statement? >> i think that was an olive branch and congressman ralph norm today told me he was encouraging nikki haley to reach out to donald trump and hoping that she would endorse and right as the vote started we were informed she did. but, haley still has a ton of supporters on the hill, and i have been asking about it today. and republicans will say it will help him if he gets haley on the ticket. this may be throws it back in the mix. >> bret: we are not going to do candidate casino tonight on the vp pick. we have run out of time. i can see it next time. can i see mollie saying wait a
