speed when we are back with fox news weather alerts appear earliest category 5 in history late last night after demolishing towns across the southeastern caribbean. at least two people in granada and st. vincent are dead as the massive storm heads towards jamaica. forecasters are warning of historically busy hurricane season. meteorologist here with fox news alert, adam. hurricane season running with the big one. >> typically receive the second-biggest storm of the year and more like july 17. so way early in this one is massive. the biggest we have seen ever when you talk about this early size up a storm. it grew really big. here is what it actually looks like right now. really define lands at 165 miles an hour and really unheard of storm this early in the season. we have seen it grow quickly 130
2:15 am
mile-per-hour winds sunday afternoon up to 165 and continues to over perform. puree to forecast models not necessarily grasping how strong about storm this would ultimately become pure and you do notice by wednesday over the course of the day slowing down a little bit wins 140 miles per hour category 4 hurricane and it will run over a pass close to jamaica before continuing over towards mexico, slowing down as it makes that move and 90 mile-per-hour winds here that is more like category 1 or categore border but jamaica is really the area we pay attention to. at hurricane warnings in effect and that will be making a move on wednesday likely as category 4 hurricane. get this, we are right in the heart of hurricane season. another area back to the east of this where there is a possibility of 30% chance of running back into the exact same area, carley here are the
2:16 am
ingredients are there to see another storm at the next several days. it is that time of year but a little bit early to be talking about it being so robust. >> carley: a lot of people that area of the world on edge because of the spirit of adam, thank you so much. we showed you this video last week of a home falling off of the cliff near minnesota's rapidan pam and rushing into the rushing waters below. it happened after the ban breached by historic flooding. we checked in with a family and this morning we do have exclusive update. they a physically everyone is good but emotionally everyone is broken. it was too much too fast and such unbelievable manner. we will pull through this together but history literally washed away all you have to sit and watch it is a pain would not wish on everyone. so sad. and took the store, which is known for homemade pies. they say the community is rallying around them and this morning, you can help them
2:17 am
rebuild. you can donate to help wrap help wrap a store's tragic loss on gofundme.com. they are good people and they need a little bit of help right now. after the supreme court's immunity ruling, watch this. >> what you have here is the supreme court imposing its judgment at that principle that we must have bold and decisive residents is more important than the principal we should have presidents to obey the law. >> almost a license to thug. you can do whatever you want ample supreme court will let you get away with it. >> if leaders can be immune from criminal acts while in office, it might be the end of our republic. >> what matters is the other guy wants to be a king and this court has said, "yes, you are the king, and we are the king's hand posed quote. together, the seven of us will
2:18 am
roll this country. >> carley: a defense attorney, lexi, good morning to you. the democrat are reacting but what the supreme court decided yesterday is nuance. they decide that the president has absolute immunity when it comes to his constitutional authority, for prosecution for all official acts and no immunity for unofficial acts. so how do you feel about that break down when it comes to presidential powers? >> well, i'm not actually all surprised that is how it shook out. i don't think anybody believes there would be absolute immunity and all acts, even to rome's own lawyers conceded during the supreme court argument that was not reasonable interpretation what they were proposing. so what they tried to do is try to walk a very nuanced line. a lot of people obviously are freaking out about this being very hyperbolic you are to but my question to them, what did yu want? did you want a ruling that said
2:19 am
presidents have absolutely no immunity whatsoever so that every single president, republican or democrat, has to look over their shoulder when making decisions necessary to make in full scope of official duties and have to wonder whether the law fair will play out when they leave office? it is not as though trump, this is only one applies to because he's the only one indicted. the only president indicted her, but it is not as though this does not equally apply across te spectrum and it is kind of laying out tests that the lower courts will actually have to apply. that will be the job to determine, which likely will be appealed either way. what acts were not addressed by the supreme court were actually official or not official. >> carley: supreme court justice sotomayor outlined the worst possible scenario how this decision could play out in her
2:20 am
dissent. under majority, he, meaning the president will be insulated from criminal prosecution, orders seal team six to assassinate political rival immune. organizes military cukes to uphold and hold onto power with ra before martin, immune, immune, immune to. she is of the opinion that this decision has effectively turned the president into a king. what do you think our stomachs because she sounds like some of the clips you just played. i have to respectfully disagree with her. that is hyperbolic and i don't think based on the fact there are three kind of components to this, one of them being absolute immunity for the core powers and one of them being if official acts that are outside of the actual core powers granted by the constitution, those are only presumptively immune. if presumption and the law, you can rebut that presumption.
2:21 am
i can't imagine a scenario, for example a president takes a breath and says part of my official duty. it just seems incredibly far-fetched and i respectfully disagree with her and i agree with justice roberts and his agreement that basically says some of these dissents so doomsday and not warranted based on the ruling is ruling is. >> carley: very interesting turn of events, we are learning president trump will use this decision to get his guilty verdict for the hush money case thrown out. according to "the new york times," his lawyer's will likely argue prosecutors build their case partly on evidence from his time while in the white house. how do you see this playing out? >> well, obviously, he will throw all of the legal arguments he can at this convection pier at supreme court had said evidence can't be used against him if the official -- they can't use official acts that are
2:22 am
absolutely immune as evidence to support or bolster their case for acts that may not be absolutely immune to. that is really the crux of this. because this is so unprecedented which we keep using over and over again, it is applicable. who knows what will happen. but we can guarantee that his lawyers are going to be engaged in a lot of appeals as that new york decision in the coming weeks and months. >> carley: that is what lawyers do. i read the deadline for post all emotions has passed so the judge can say, out of time and sort of blame it on that. we will be watching. we want to ask about a trial of a different kind getting so much attention. that karen read murder trial in a mistrial yesterday and the jury heard twt versions of how this boston police officer john o'keefe died. prosecutors say that kieran read, who was his girlfriend, they got into a fight, she was
2:23 am
drunk and accidentally ran him over with the car and left him to die in the snow but defense attorney say she had nothing to do with his death but died at a house party with other boston p. those police officers are framing her for his murder so mistrial declared yesterday. how do you feel about this case? the incredible thing, lexi, both sides had compelling evidence so where do you see this going? >> you know, when the jury was out for as long as they were, i started to wonder if serious issues in there and you have to hand it to a jury, obviously the jury did a lot of work and the lawyers did a lot of work and a lot of time dedicated to this. if a jury cannot come to a decision, you have to hand it to jurors who stand there ground. we want to go home. i truly believe this person is either guilty or not guilty and i'm not going to be kind of. pressured into a verdict,
2:24 am
which the judges walk the most send jurors back and try to get them to come to a conclusion. about what was surprising to me about this how often the arguments that there is a police cover-up or some type of corruption within the police force. those arguments work. that is one of the things the seized on this case, the police officer and other police officers in this community, that that was one of the reasons why she was actually framed and they didn't look at the "right people." that was interesting to me that that argument appear to be at least in part successful in this case. >> carley: will there be another trial or is she off of the hook? >> that is what they said and they can certainly try her again based on what the prosecution said. >> carley: lexi, thank you for joining us on both stories. we appreciate it. president biden address the supreme court ruling. he read off of a teleprompter 5 minutes and also ignored
2:25 am
questions from the press following. >> thank you. >> what makes you so confident that you should be the president? >> carley: in he goes, tomi lahren to react to this. keep it right here on "fox & friends first." ♪ ♪ ( ♪ ) asthma. it can make you miss out on those epic hikes with friends. step back out there with fasenra. fasenra is an add-on treatment for eosinophilic asthma that is taken once every 8 weeks.

2:31 am
thank you, may god protect our troops. >> what makes you so confident you should be the president? >> carley: tomi lahren is a host on elk kid, good morning to you. this was to be a big moment and the first nationally televised remark since debate performance and it is clear that democrats are trying to wage a campaign against the supreme court and a cold donald trump an even bigger existential threat than before. so what do you think about this? do you think the speech president biden delivered yesterday will rally democrats back to him? >> carley, this is all they have is the fear tactics. they keep trying to beat this drama of democracy in danger. obviously, gas living the american people that the real reason democracy is in danger because the democratic party and leftist media waging a campaign to jail their political opponent.
2:32 am
that kind of skips right over the small little details that are important to understand the full situation. but i will also say this about president biden's address. if you are trying to convince people that you are, in fact, fully capable and cognitive abilities are not impaired, going out and delivering a teleprompter speech and taking no questions is probably not the best way to do that. if you want to prove to people what he said over and over again, "watch me," take external questions and a speech off the prompter personally. but he is unable and incapable of doing that. they get a sound bite and they hope they that he can stay on prompter and go back to nap the time. if he is trying to use a speech or his handlers trying to use a speech to convince anybody this is proof joe biden is back, i'm not sure they accomplish that goal. >> carley: this was a scripted
2:33 am
speech and it was very short for obvious reasons. i think his campaign in the white house is trying to insulate him from any sort of immediate slip up after the debate here at the axios is reporting that president biden could hold a t town hall later this month to try to prove to the american people he can still be president. that is a risk. how do you think that can go? >> it is a giant risk. listen, there have been times joe biden has been able to be on his game for a period of time, but we know from other reporting it is a very certain and specific time. i would expect any town whole or in her field place to happen abruptly 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. when his handlers say he's on his game. that is what i would expect and if it is an interview, i would expect it would be curated and the media will be very delicate with
2:34 am
president joe biden. i don't think it will convince anybody. you can't have so many slipups back-to-back and escalate over the last three years and do one town hall, one sit down and concerns. i don't think anybody is buying it at this point. you have reached the point of no return with this narrative. >> carley: on this immunity ruling yesterday, a lot of democrat rich and coming up with the supreme court made this ruling on personal immunity for former president trump and all future presidents as well. aoc not happy about this. she posted this on x, the supreme court consumed by corruption's crisis beyond its control. today's ruling is in a american democracy. it is up to congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture. i intend on filing articles of impeachment upon their return." she is saying she will file articles against the supreme court. is this going anywhere? >> oh, i would like to see
2:35 am
alexandria ocasio-cortez file anything. i don't have a lot of confidence in her ability here appear at it but i think what you are really saying is democrats abortion message has fallen flat due to donald trump's wonderful answer at the debate last week. they have to beat a different drum and going back to democracy at stake and will use the supreme court because that will be their new one. they will say democracy is under threat and .2 supreme court decision and hope lower information and fewer "star trek" by that pure nanny anti-butter that little time to look into that knows it is incredibly nuanced and doesn't give president kingmaker powers. they have to do something because their candidate is there canada and the record as their record appear this will be of the new narrative for the last several months. >> carley: some democrats say democracy is under threat and other say that might be true that president biden is the bigger issue, james carville an important place in the
2:36 am
democratic party and take a listen to what he had to say. >> we have a country 72% want something different. if the democratic party cannot produce something different that 72% of the people want, then why do we exist? what are we here for? the country is clamoring for change! what are we going to offer them at the same stuff? it doesn't make any sense, jake. >> carley: he said that, and we are learning gavin newsom is headed to new hampshire, all-important state of new hampshire to campus for joe biden but more speculation about whether or not he could be biden's replacement. what do you think? >> you know that it has been my long-held position that governor gavin newsom will be the step in. but he's been doing these campaign type of advance for at least the last eight months if not longer. that is why i have maintained he will be the one to step in and he will be the candidate, the
2:37 am
nominee, because he is the one that has done the leg work. he has gone to international trips, red states, constitutional for gun control. he polished joe biden around like a little puppy. now he's going to new hampshire. governor newsom if you are trying to fool people disguise a little better and don't make it so easy to say, "i told you so." he didn't look comfortable during that white house visit last year. thank you, thank you for joining us and have a great day. >> things, carley. >> carley: u.s. soccer team is eliminated from the cope america tournament after stunning loss to euro here at a controversial last-minute coal when the referee upheld the only goal and even felt the player appeared to be offside. watch this.

biden administration's claim and agenda after 20 states fought back. fox business with all the details, hi, cheryl. this is seen as a big win for the energy industry so a temporary ban on the biden administration's plan to help these projects and the court issuing the band saying, "hold on a second." the biden administration, you need to go to congress and you cannot decide to hold major energy progress that experts account for millions of jobs. this does not work. the court citing with these states that are fighting it back against the ban. patrick morrissey said this, "this is a big win for the the country's energy and their attacks from the biden administration to further radical climate agenda at the expense of our economy." the energy department did respond to this ruling in the
2:45 am
court yesterday saying, "the u.s. department of energy disagrees with the ruling. the department will evaluate the order and evaluate next steps." >> carley: we certainly will and energy impacts the cost of everything here at the cost of food, as we know, very high rigt now and that will effect the fourth of july cookout's. >> it is and will be record high for americans when you put together with the big barbecue. one example of what you could be paying income attempted before for a cookout and the cost of food is higher than ever. so in 2022, $69.68 and last year $67.73, and now up to $71.22. let me give you a reason what is happening. look at pork chops, look at the jump, $15.49 for 3 pounds of pork chops. ground beef, 2 pounds, $47, $7.83, strawberries, $4.61,
2:46 am
chips, $4.90, cheese $3.97, potato salad $3.32 and the pounds $3.41. when i say not a lot of chicken but the cost for a couple of chicken breast but that insoluble get if you get a couple. >> carley: the biden administration is trying to spin this saying inflation is not down but not rising as it quickly once was but still up. i remember the first debate question jake tapper asked president biden, the cost of a bag of groceries $100.04 years ago and those same groceries $120 here and how do you account for this? he blamed corporate greed. >> he does at all the time and i find that frustrating we talk about this because they go after energy industry and health care industries, hospitals, food companies when it is all the core pieces of the production process for food companies in particular. think about the gas, wages,
2:47 am
diesel fuel, the trucks, the real estate, everything are these input costs. we call a producer price and inflation report that we do on fox business because this is input cost from these companies. they are trying to stay in business. their profit margins have shrunk. so what president biden says is not true. >> carley: it goes back to the rescue act pumping more money into the system at a time when america did not need to be rescued. it was a political one at the time and out facing ramifications three years later. there is a washington columnist on the vogue in what it says columnist saying question marks mccoy love the title because joe biden is bogue's cover star, what timing. you know what they are saying here after the debate. they did speak with her and the reporter spoke with her even though put together in april. the reporter talked to her over the weekend at camp david so

administration has done not just with our defense budget but also the weakness abroad. this impacted my hometown of virginia roads. absolutely devastated in what happened in the pullout of afghanistan and the death of the 13 servicemen that tragically gave their lives in that chaotic withdrawal that happened and for the president to sit on stage, even though we have photos of him greeting the caskets as they are returning and have the unmitigated gull to say there were no lost servicemen during his time as president, really stuck in the mind of every single gold star family in the commonwealth of virginia. virginians have given touch in defense of this country, that really stuck so many move constituents the wrong way and honestly they are seeing the chaos at the border as well. all those reasons put virginia in play. >> carley: he made that comment about afghanistan during a conversation about the economy. so not only was it an unforced error, it was a lie that offended many people who he would never want to offend but
