>> democrats renewing calls to pack the supreme court after two rulings including one that struck down a california law that required charities to disclose their donors names. joining me, americans for prosperity's casey max was a key

line from the opinion, quote, the attorney general's disclose requirement imposes a burden on donors associational right and this burden cannot be justified on the ground that the regime investigates charitable wrongdoing or the state's interest in administrative convenience is sufficiently important, justice roberts summering summarizing the crux. it is not hyperbole to say this is one of the most important free-speech cases in recent memory. why is it so important? >> charities and the people who support them are part of what makes america great and we don't have to choose between because we care about and being harassed and intimidated and that is what people were being put in the position of because of this california rule. a critical decision to protect personal rights. todd: this is reporting

disclosure requirements with bull's-eye regulated entities to avoid their obligations can do so by vaguely waving toward first amendment privacy concerns. i thought the court and majority strike that notion down saying there are other ways to regulate these charities. the strange bedfellows the aclu plus so many conservative organizations really drove the point home. what message did those strange bedfellows send? >> this is an unprecedented coalition of organizations at the supreme court. i've never seen the diversity of groups supporting the first amendment that we had here. the naacp, the aclu, a ds and other religious liberty organizations, groups who very rarely if ever have been on the same side of the case and it says something when the government is trying to do something and has that kind of coalition organizations all in one voice saying what you're

doing violates our constitutional rights so it was critical. it puts live to the california's argument that this was something california needed and consistent with the constitution. todd: what are the implications of this decision in cases currently before the court or just in general? >> the main thing this does is makes it more difficult for the government to violate the first amendment. first amendment rights are more secure now today than they were yesterday going into this decision and that is something we can celebrate on the fourth of july. todd: no doubt this original move by california was political. as a lawyer from california at least i was back in the day, california has so many regulations they can police these charities without this extra little, hold your horses

and that coalition of first amendment bedfellows which i keep going back to, the aclu and a bunch of conservatives dry that point home, appreciate your time. thank you. jillian: 17 after the hour. leaders in san jose, california have a plan to address violent crime by taxing legal gunowners. we are talking to a san jose resident and gun safety instructor who says this is just another failed policy, we will hear from him next.

resident and firearms instructor. good morning, thank you for joining us. it became a lot more expensive to be a legal gunowners. walk us through what happened in san jose. >> what happened was the mayor recommended a number of measures, none of which will have the slightest impact on crime. that's important for everyone to know, not one. the city attorney has been directed to come back with a series of ordinances that will be provided to counsel to vote on next september so she only has a few months but i can't emphasize this strongly enough, not one single item in their will make the situation better. it will make it worse because it impacts especially citizens who are the most vulnerable, low income people and so forth, they won't be able to afford it and public transportation system

makes it illegal for them to have a firearm on public transit. >> the city is forcing people to pay gun insurance, this is getting a lot of attention, the city is paying folks to pan ownership fee. you have to panic attacks just to own a gun. a lot of critics are saying that puts a financial burden on the constitutional right. >> you can't imagine what this is. it is important to understand it is more pervasive than is popularly understood. if a firearm is stolen, it becomes liable for the impact of that gun. like someone stealing your car and running over another individual and all of a sudden we are responsible. he attempted to do this by providing san jose sponsored insurance and he wasn't able to do that in 2019, dropped from

the proposal, no insurance carrier will do that. they simply won't underwrite that type of policy. it is impossible for those people to obtain the policy. carley: i & crime is rising in san jose. look at the homicide numbers up 75% and a lot of people own guns for their own personal protection and the logic is you are going to tax people so they don't have a lot of guns but a lot of legal gunowners want to keep themselves safe amid this surge in crime. >> absolutely and it is also terribly important for people that are vulnerable, seniors, women. i could go on and on. it disadvantages the most vulnerable residents and make them defenseless. it is important to realize the san jose police department is

woefully understaffed, response time is double what they want it to be and no end insight. carley: i know you are involved in the community. will there be legal action taken on this front? >> there will absolutely be legal action. i've been in touch with some law firms and we are waiting to see how this develops from the city attorney and litigation will follow after that. carley: thank you, have a good one. raymond: are we months from another back-to-school showdown. america's largest teachers union meeting to debate whether vaccines should be required before anyone returns to the classroom. >> we are getting look at the brand-new gift from one of the people who helped bring a little lady liberty to our shores just in time for the holiday weekend. ♪♪

carley: the painstaking search for survivors in a condo collapse is back on, crews shifting to the rubble for hand looking for 145 people still missing. 18 are confirmed dead. todd: new numbers come after 15 our pause due to concerns about the stability of the remaining structure. >> we are proceeding with planning for the likely demolition of the building while the search and rescue continues as our top priority. this is a decision we need to make extremely carefully and methodically. todd: demolition will likely happen in the next few weeks. >> the city of surfside is asking owners of 30-year-old buildings over 3 stories to conduct foundation testing to ensure they are safe. todd: president biden and florida governor rhonda santos put politics aside during a

visit to the collapsed site, desantis thanking the president saying he has been very conservative, there is no proof what caused the tragedy but offering up a possible contributing factor. >> how many of the survivors and families talked about the impact of global warming? they talked about sea levels rising. carley: the president and first lady toward the site and met with families of the victims telling them to, quote, never give up hope. todd: liz cheney need to the select committee for investigating the us capital right, cheney and congressman consider of the only ones to vote for the select committee, many gop colleagues argue it will be more partisanship. house minority leader kevin mccarthy says -- it is still unclear if any other gop members will be added. boxes are the remaining fencing around the us capital start

coming down next thursday. the other perimeter was removed in march. florida congressman byron donald says it is clear the left is in disarray and trying to distract the public by keeping the focus on donald trump. >> is what we need to figure out. that is a part of justice and fbi finished the investigation. they are in the process of doing that was all congress would do is play politics which is the last thing we should do with this select committee. of homeland security and oversight want to continue holding hearings, the relevant committee, let's do that but nancy pelosi understands one thing. they have to keep donald trump front and center because they've gotten so accustomed to attacking him all the time, they don't have anybody to do that with and their agenda is exposed, they can't get anything through the house. their ideas are bad. the american people know what so they have to go back to january 6th, the only thing they have left to do.

todd: she is only interested in playing politics. carley: the country's largest teachers program all debate mandating vaccines in schools, the national education association saying, quote, the nda will call for mandatory covid 19 vaccinations and testing for all students and half before returning to face-to-face instruction in the fall. the debate has not yet been scheduled. the union represents 3 million teachers. >> american sprinter richardson failed drug test, richardson has issued this tweet reading, quote, i am human. he could still run in the 400 meter race if she's only given a 30 day suspension richardson becoming a fan favorite to compete after being america's fast woman running 100 meters and 10.86 seconds. failing a drug test, in light of

century, to do some original copies and one of them arrived yesterday to new york and for us it is important, american friendship. >> what are you hoping to accomplish when it comes to relations between our two nations? >> the statue was carved at the end of the nineteenth century. they the deepening themselves connected with the results of this independence all over the world. the statue of liberty is the most important symbol and

everybody in the world, freedom, all the values for us and the american people. carley: we are looking at images of it, it is in new york city and will move to the french embassy in washington dc for the next 10 years. tell us a little bit about the statue itself. when was it built and who created it? >> in the nineteenth century but valued with the end of it. one of the most famous in france and those two created this statue, the symbol for the

good amount, the blue angels in particular because they fly so close together they don't wear a g-suit so it is hard to manage your breathing. you are pulling a lot of ge's while trying to fly so close together. if they where the g-suit it could knock their hands when they are flying so something really unique about the blue angels. these men and women are truly incredible. todd: i've never been worse at something, i got sick three times when i flew with the thunderbirds but as i was getting ready for the show is looking and thinking about your piece i look to the photo i got with the thunderbirds and it reminded me of an amazing experience. >> reporter: you were little green but it was a patriotic experience. carley: thank you for bringing this to us. >> reporter: thanks. todd: congratulations to your dad's on this. it is a big time for your family. >> reporter: his children's

>> i support the defund movement, not only do we need to defund but to dismantle and start a new. >> this is the word that is coming from the street. >> reporter: despite democrats called to defund the police the mainstream media is backing the white house messaging saying republicans are the ones behind the movement. todd: here to react is any scary. if you're a fan of seinfeld and who isn't? this is the new narrative spelled out in all falsity by dana milbank's from the washington post, quote, even the squad is more pro-police than these republicans. republican leaders developed a new strategy for ousting democrats from their majority in congress, blue lives matter. the reason is. democrats at least at the federal level have been the ones funding police.

break down all the ways that is egregiously false. >> we have seen local governments in the biggest cities across the country all run by democrats over and over voting to defund the police, went through it actually or not but in some capacity they said they were in favor of that. the main point the white house is trying to make which the media picked up on his republicans voted against this welfare bill called covid relief package. this massive welfare bill the republicans voted against had some funding for police. if you were my son is came back from the grocery store and i bought a bag of carrots but also chips, soda, candy, all this junk food and i said take it back, are you anti-healthy food? anti-vegetables? republicans have always been the ones who said we are not doing this anti-police stuff, we are

not defunding the police and democrats believe it and did that. if there ever was an instance of gas lighting this country that is it. carley: federal spending on law enforcement is like a fraction of a percentage, most is allocated on the local level. the democrat led city councils defunding the police on a small scale level. >> in portland, seattle, new york, over and over you have democrat-controlled local governments that over and over again said we are going to invest in social work, we will have social workers come into talk to these crazy people on the streets that are acting violently and see what happens, cry went up astronomically into

the stratosphere, we always knew this was going to happen but democrats, this is what you wanted and now they are going to present with the ones who wanted to fund the police, they had this massive giant welfare bill sometimes called covid relief and now they want to say we were the ones going to fund the police all along, that is an absolute lie. todd: kamala harris's staff contending with internal tensions. here is part of a quote from the political peace, people thrown under the bus from the top, short fuses, and abusive environment, not a place where people feel supportive but where people feel treated like i can't say that word. to the american people see this inability when kamala's numbers were solo she had to drop out pretty early on? >> this politico piece tries to make it sound like this is about the staff and inner strife but person says it in the piece that this all starts at the top. of course it has to do with

kamala harris herself. she's in this job because she is a black woman, president biden said he was going to have a running mate who was a woman, the year of black lives matter pressuring him, it has to be a black woman so this was affirmative-action in its purest form. we find out what happened. someone willfully in over their head, 0 qualifications for this job, the job is not that hard, you have one responsibility, to break ties in the senate but they want to saddle her with all these responsibilities because she wanted them and she's not doing a very good job. they put her in charge of the border, not really her job, over and over you are seeing she is in over her head. carley: simone sanders said we are not making rainbows and bunnies all day, people have hard jobs, welcome to the club.
