>> brian: fan anybody missed the show last night, you can watch, you can watch it all on fox nation, on fox nation.com if you don't have the app and relive it. >> yep. >> one of my favorite things to cover. >> carley, come on in. [laughter]. >> so cute. >> award winner. >> bye >> we could get decisions from the supreme court later this morning. we expect the bigger decisions to happen toward the end. i'm bill hemmer. how are you? >> dana: ifm owe dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." one of the biggest cases deals with former president trump's remain in mexico policy. the rule has forced tens of thousands to wait in mexico while asylum claims are heard. president biden has tried to end it. texas is suing to stop him.

>> bill: the court will decide its biggest gun case in more than a decade. at issue here a new york law that restricts conceal carry outside the home. a decision to overturn it could have a domino effect on several other blue states with similar laws. >> dana: religious liberty is on the docket. court taking up the case of a high school football coach fired for praying on the field. justices will decide whether that prayer is protected under the first amendment. >> bill: the most anticipated of all is dobbs versus jackson. that's the ruling on mississippi's 15 week abortion ban that could potentially overturn roe v. wade which would end nearly 50 years of precedent. a leaked draft in the month of may suggesting the court is ready to do just that. >> dana: that was ignited a wave of protests. some escalating into threats and intimidation. activists continue to march outside justice's home after an assassination attempt against brett kavanaugh.

>> bill: inspiring dozens of attacks on pro-life groups and churches. the latest in michigan linked to the jane's revenge. so there is a clear conservative majority on the court. we'll see what they do in this case. one interesting factor on that leaked case is that the opinion of justice roberts was not revealed. now again this was the first draft. it could have changed as we know between that leak and what will go public when it becomes public. roberts' decision was not indicated on that leaked draft. >> dana: we have decisions coming out today and tomorrow. the court announced that on wednesday saying we'll have cases announced friday as well and then we also have next week before the end of session. i've been carrying around this cheat sheet and i will get some use out of it today i have a feeling. it will come in very handy. >> bill: 23rd of june today. june 30th a week from today.

that is usually when the court wraps up its case. but they gave the indication that tomorrow they were releasing decisions as well. there have been times when the court has gone past the june 30th deadline. not suggesting that will happen right now but just saying there is runway here if it doesn't happen today. that's all. >> dana: a little time. president biden is taking -- blaming the -- jerome powell told lawmakers saying the war in ukraine is not the primary cause of inflation contradicting the president's claims. a little more than inconvenient for the white house today, lucas. >> capitol hill tennessee senator bill hagerty asked the federal reserve chairman this direct question. >> would you say that the war in ukraine is the primary driver of inflation in america? >> no, inflation was high before, certainly before the

war in ukraine broke out. >> when president biden took office inflation was 1.4%. it had already climbed to 7.5% january a month before russia's invasion of ukraine. today's 8.6% sitting at a four-decade high. many economists don't expect it to end soon. they think a recession is heading to our shores soon. biden calling on the oil industry to produce more to bring down prices but u.s. refiners and oil producers say they're operating at near max capacity. next month biden heads to saudi arabia to ask them to pump more oil. in washington oil executives scheduled to meet this morning at the energy department for an emergency meeting with biden's energy second naer. no plan for biden to attend. hours after those comments biden spoke at the white house urging gas station owners to change prices because of the war in ukraine. >> president biden: to the

companies running gas stations and setting those prices at the pump, this is a time of war, global peril, ukraine, these are not normal times. bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the costs you are paying for the product. do it now. do it today. >> president biden not getting support for his proposed gas tax holiday as the price of gas has spiked nationwide. approval ratings have plummeted. >> dana: you have the gift for understatement and we appreciate it here. thank you so much. speaking of that for the gas tax holiday the president announced, they embargoed the announcement until 5:00 a.m. yesterday and destroyed by both parties by 5:30 in the morning. i never saw a policy proposal be raised and deflated all within an hour. >> bill: "wall street journal" gas tax holiday from reality.

even democrats can't hide their distain for the latest gimmick. pelosi says we'll see, maybe. i think in the end it's a big no. >> dana: i think jerome powell beating back the narrative it is all because of president putin was a devastating communication blow against the administration. there goes that. they might still try to say it but no backup. >> bill: it almost happened simultaneously when the president was making a different argument at the white house. the summer surge at the border showing no signs of letting up. here we go again. border patrol agents reporting a spike in large groups of migrants crossing into the country illegally agents apprehending 300 migrants in one station in texas alone and that's where we find casey stiegel, la joya, texas, today. good morning there. >> good morning to you. it was in this exact spot where

we are in la joya, texas approaching this time yesterday morning when that large group turned up here totally about 300 migrants according to u.s. border patrol agents. they say it was a mix of toddlers, family units and single adults. mostly from the northern triangle countries. it took six buses just to transport everyone for processing. while around the same time, a second large group, also 300 in size, was apprehended over near eagle pass, texas. this image provided by cbp as were these when earlier in the week agents in two of the counties in texas encountered three additional large migrant groups totaling 533 people. of those, officials say 293 were family members. 145 unaccompanied minors. remember, those are children under the age of 18 traveling

alone, and 95 single adults. mostly from cuba and south america. cbp classifies a large group as anything more than 100 people traveling or crossing together. and just in this one sector, the rio grande valley, cbp says that more than 100 of these large groups have been recorded so far for the fiscal year resulting in at least 15,000 total apprehensions as we know the fiscal year began last october. we still have several more months of data to go. bill. >> bill: thank you, casey stiegel in texas. dana. >> dana: far left district attorney gascon appears to brush off concern from the mother of a slain officer down playing the arrest record of the alleged killer of two california officers. watch. >> there was nothing about the history of this individual before he was convicted of a

double murder to show that he was not eligible for the resolution back in 2009. >> dana: the mother blames his soft on crime policies for allowing her son's killer to be on probation despite being charged with felon in possession of a gun. the funerals for the officers will be held next thursday. >> we had a version of what was called single patrol. i did it as a police officer. one thing you know about me, i would not have anyone do a job i'm not willing to do myself. >> bill: we have problems in manhattan. the mayor pledging to keep cops safe but is it putting them in the line of danger? a cop assaulted on a new york city subway platform the same day that adams solo subway patrol plan was announced. how will it work out? >> dana: it is not.

it comes as one of america's most dangerous cities is putting the shackles on police. chicago's new policy encouraging criminals to make a run for it. >> bill: the moment firefighters shatter a window, climb through the glass and save a 3-year-old boy inside that burning home. >> i got him. i got him. like the shot they take. the memories they create. or the spin they initiate. otezla. it's a choice you can make. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, you can achieve clearer skin. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla can cause serious allergic reactions. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight

>> bill: that driver in a deadly time square rampage has been found not responsible due to mental illness. a warning. you'll see video that might be tough for viewers to see. prosecutors argued that richard knew he was harming people when he plowed his car through a crowd of people striking more than 20 and killing a tourist. a new york city jury disagreed.

in about six hours of deliberation lauren green who is live with us has more. >> for victims and their families it is unthinkable that he will not be held criminally responsible for the death of a tourist and the injuries of several others. despite the carnage he caused the jury found him not responsible by reason of insanity. we warn you the video you are about to see is graphic. the jury was shown this video of the car drive by him plowing through crowds in times square in 2017. some people bolted out of its path and others were caught offguard and were struck. after crashing the car he got out and yelled oh my god, what happened? he then reportedly told the traffic cop afterwards i wanted to kill them. 18-year-old alisa elseman was killed and her 13-year-old sister injured along with 21

others. her mother gave emotional testimony in court about seeing her daughter's lifeless body on the pavement and eyes staring into nothing: the jury deliberated six hours and found he didn't know what he was doing and the district attorney says our condolences are with the friends and family of alisa who suffered a terrible and tragic loss and all the victims of this horrific incident. he remains in custody. the judge is expected to issue an examination order. he could be sent to a mental health facility and it will be discussed in court later this morning. >> bill: unrelated story. related in the sense 15 minutes ago you were in times square ready to do this report.

times square is only a block away from our studio and your crew had an incident. not to make it about us and explain what happened. >> we were getting ready to walk in the middle of times square where this accident happened. a gentleman, man came up to the camera, tripod and all and sent it crashing to the ground. police came, they took him in cuffs. the camera was unworkable at that point. so we rushed back here. >> bill: it happened in a split second. >> in an absolute split second. i saw him approach and grab the camera and it went to the ground. >> bill: everybody is okay. it's a good thing. >> everybody is okay. photographer is working with the police right now. we came back to the studio. >> bill: the point of this story is not about us. the point of this story is this is happening all the time throughout the entire new york city area. thank you for that. with us in studio now.

>> dana: great to have you back with us, joe. former nypd. this type of thing you are seeing it more and more. tell us a little bit about your reaction to what she said in terms of we have a lot of mentally unwell people on our streets and it can go to a jury trial and they can be found not guilty by reason of insanity. how do we help on the front end to prevent them from actually losing their minds and killing all these people? >> i think mental health has been put on the back burner for a long time. with everything else going on in new york city they put it on the back burner. the homeless and everything else you see it now. everybody is out there. not only that, because there is no consequences for anybody's actions on the street they feel bold to do whatever they want. they'll take the chance and do something like that. not to say this person wouldn't do it normally because they have a mental problems, but i think that it is just another day in new york for some people

and other people it is a big shock. >> bill: we have to ask the question how we got here so quickly and suddenly after being such a safe city for 20 years. meanwhile the police chief tried to initiate what's called a solo patrol for police officers. transit cops on the subways. they split up as single units and on the very same day this policy was announced, a cop was assaulted and the assailant almost got his gun. >> wonderful program. other programs i won't mention they tried to do way back when. this is insanity right now. maybe the mayor, he stated he did it himself and pat rolled himself. not under these conditions and not in these times. i want to know if he would do the same job today, go out there alone under these conditions. i think not. the cops need to have partners down in the subway especially the subways because it is such a volatile location with all the thousands of people that

travel through there. through the turnstiles every day. it went wrong. give the cops the backup they need with each other and enforce it. i think he is trying to stretch this department a little too thin. >> dana: because they don't have enough people and talked about all the retirements and that you don't have enough recruiting. it takes a while. you can't put somebody with two years experience on their own, either. we should say this policy of having solo cops that won't happen anymore. the mayor said no, we'll switch it and make sure that they have the backup that they need. nypd statement we're continuing with the solo patrol but within sight of one another. it doesn't make as much sense. i'm not a cop. i don't know. as lauren green said things happen in a split second. even if i could see you from a room away it doesn't necessarily help us. >> they need to be side-by-side. i disagree with that. if you are on the other end of

the platform and a crowded subway. it's impossible to get through with a crowd. i think the cops need to stick to the regular patrol. as you just stated, we don't have the manpower that we once had so they are trying to stretch it a little bit and put a band-aid on a gaping wound is what it is. >> bill: the mayor was a transit cop himself. i think we should also try and applaud him for creativity. we've been asking for ideas. this was one idea. it went belly up on day one but at least they tried it, joe. >> they tried it. kudos for creativity. how about creativity within the city council to back the cops up to make this the job it used to be and let the cops get back on the street and let people start taking tests again and the pristine job it once was. it is not. people are running away from it. it's scary when they run away from the job instead of to it. he should know what we need.

enough with the politics. get out there, back the cops up. let them do what they have to do. >> dana: it won't hurt you. >> it will only help. >> dana: great to have you here. thank you so much. >> thank you. bill. >> dana: chicago police department unveiling a new policy that bars officers from chasing certain suspects on foot coming after armed suspects trying to flee police ended in a deadly foot pursuit. garrett tenney is live in chicago to explain this to us. >> good morning to you. under this new policy, officers will not be allowed to chase down suspects for minor offenses such as driving without a license or parking violations. significantly officers will not be allowed to chase down a suspect simply because they run away from police. if a person is about to commit or is committing a crime that can hurt other people officers can chase them down. there are now 11 pages of guidance dictating when and how that should happen including suggestions that officers

consider alternatives in circumstances such as if the suspect is armed or if the officer is alone. this week the police superintendent touted the changes as a way to improve safety for both cops and the city. >> this policy will help make officers safer, number one. number two, it will help us train officers to be safer. >> the reality is, it's important that we make sure that violent, dangerous people are dealt with and sometimes that means you have to pursue them. but i also want the officers to come home at night at the end of their watch. >> this policy has been in the works for a few years as part of a court-mandated consent decree. the changes are getting blowback from the aclu which says the policy doesn't go far enough to restrict foot pursuits and from chicago's police union whose president described it as one more victory for criminals courtesy

of mayor lightfoot adding it makes the city less safe and implies police were doing something wrong all along. the department is expected to start training officers over the next few months before the policy is rolled out officially this summer. dana. >> dana: thank you for explaining that to us. appreciate it. >> what we're looking for is compelling evidence that inflation is coming down. we don't have that. >> bill: you feel better? discouraging words from the fed chief jerome powell. rising inflation hitting americans hard. can anything be done to bring some relief? maria bartiromo has thoughts on that. two more companies going woke pulling pro-american products just before the july 4th holiday and reaping a whirlwind of criticism in return.

>> bill: 9:30 in new york a day after the fed chief admitted russia's war in ukraine is not driving inflation and that prices were soaring well before putin's invasion. maria bartiromo here to talk about this and more. nice to have you here. i will play for our viewers bill hagerty is a republican senator from tennessee. he was the one who led the questioning with the fed chair on the question about when inflation was starting. here is the exchange. runs 30 seconds. let's listen. >> inflation was high before -- certainly before the war in ukraine broke out. >> i'm glad to hear you say that. the biden administration is intent on deflecting blame and as recently as sunday spread the misinformation putin's invasion of ukraine is the biggest single driver of inflation. i'm glad you agree with me

that's not the truth. >> bill: the pointed matter came from hagerty before that when i stated the question is it true or not and the fed chief powell said no. simultaneously at the white house the president is blaming putin. so on it goes in the same day you are repudiated on this score and on the same day also you've got democrats slamming your whole idea about a federal gas tax holiday. he is pointing the finger everywhere but where it should be and that is increase oil production here at home. >> that's exactly right, bill. good morning to you. the problem is if he admits it, if president biden admits that we need to increase production of oil and gas on the global market, then right there his whole clean energy, his climate change agenda blows up. and it is very evident to everyone involved that this was a massive mistake and why we're

here right now. everybody knows that when joe biden walked into the oval office inflation was at 1.4%. get your head around that. 1.4% in january of 2021 and we see how it has moved up all alongside his policies. the covid relief package signed into law in march of 2021. inflation popped up. couple months later the democrats were pushing their $5 trillion spending package which they said was 3.9 trillion full of gimmicks. inflation rate kept moving higher. in november of 2021 they signed a $1 trillion infrastructure package. inflation kept creeping up. close to 8% by the time putin invaded ukraine which of course now takes us to 8.6% and most people expect it to get worse. much of that money has not been spent out of the covid relief package. many states were given hundreds of billions of dollars in money

from the covid relief package and it has not been appropriated. as you have more dollars chasing too few goods, you will see inflation elevate. that is what the market knew. the market knew and why we're down 30% on the nasdaq year-to-date. markets are worried we're in a recession right now as a result of inflation taking a bite out of our wages. >> bill: granholm energy secretary out of michigan suggested you could use the defense production act to curb high gas prices and do what? build a new refinery? >> bill, these are all fringe things. it is a fringe thing to say the defense act is going to really move the needle. it is a fringe idea to say taking oil out of the strategic petroleum reserve will move the needle. none of them have moved the needle. you need to see is a fundamental change in terms of production from the united states. make no mistake the gas station

owners don't put the price out. the oil company ceos do not say what the price of gasoline is. no, the price of gas and oil is reached by simple supply/demand dynamics. bottom line supply was taken out when president biden killed the xl pipeline and taken out when biden says no to drilling on federal land and as a result the u.s. is no longer energy independent and that's the crux of the problem. but again, if he admits that, that is going to tell the world i was wrong with pushing this climate agenda throughout every single agency, a whole government approach. don't forget the security and exchange committee on all s&p p500 countries we want to know details on your climate chris being and customers & associates. it has put a chill into doing business with fossil fuel companies and that's the trucks of the problem. we will see more volatility in the market. we're only two weeks away from

the end of the second quarter. it ends june 30th. then we'll start getting second quarter earnings. a lot of people are expecting we will see a profit recession. companies will come out and say rest of the year does not look good. stock prices go down, volatility ensues. >> bill: well stated. thank you. the way we were. thanks, maria, talk to you soon. >> dana: targeting pro-american products on shelves and doing so right before the fourth of july. now both stores are facing major criticism and potential boycotts. fox business's grady trimble is live in chicago. what happened here, grady? >> good morning. grocery chain harris teter is pulling things from shelves after a couple of people complained about. one is an eagle holding a gun in toll ons and has the patrick henry quote give me liberty or give me death.

the other a pro-second amendment version with arms change, rights don't. progressive state lawmaker in north carolina who is running for reelection didn't like these koozys and here is what she tweeted. i'm disappointed they are being sold in a north carolina store, 110 americans die every day from gun violence and most recently children, educators, healthcare providers and family members were killed in mass shootings. please remove them. harris tweeter responded to the tweet saying it would remove them from all store locations. interestingly, the grocery store chain's parent company, kroger, didn't commit to removing the items but said it would tell its leadership team about them. comments on twitter some users called for a boycott and said they would shop at food lion and publix instead of harris teter.

good grief. stop giving into these people it's ridiculous. another joked. ban assault koozies. >> we have reached out to the two stores ourselves and haven't heard back from either of them. >> dana: they'll respond to the person on twitter but not to a news organization, got it. thanks. >> bill: make sense of that. sad news now to report on one of the more beloved figures in sports. super bowl champ with the ravens has died at the young age of 55. no cause given. he played 12 seasons in the nfl, became a fan favorite. he is known as the goose was a figure larger than life and a big personality that matched his large physique. on the same day when the ravens also lost a 26-year-old active player to death as well. no cause given. >> dana: tony sure was loved. that news hit hard here yesterday. >> bill: he would hang out in the end zone of the game and

the announcers would go to the field. he stood in one spot and said here is what i'm saying. >> dana: what a wonderful personality who will be missed. body cam video capturing nearly six minutes of terror as firefighters and police officers worked to save a 3-year-old boy from a burning home in wisconsin. watch here. [shouting] >> m.j., come on. >> dana: it's so hard to watch. the frightening ordeal ended in relief as the boy is rushed to an ambulance and he is now in stable condition at a nearby hospital thanks to the work of those rescuers. >> bill: bravo. >> dana: poor little baby. hope he has no memory of that. i hope. >> bill: 20 minutes before the hour. stunning images.

transportation builders association and you have a mess of problems on your hands now with all these prices going up. sir, what is the practical impact on inflation of you trying to get these projects done? >> dana, good to be with you. a huge problem as most of you probably know. steel, copper, aluminum has gone up 200%. pvc is 400%. like a lot of residential and commercial projects infrastructure projects are long duration. it will take three to four years to build it. we have a lot of contracts in the state of florida were executed in 2019, 2020 where prices were reasonable and now you are having to buy material for which the prices have gone up. it is a huge challenge. the state of florida, governor desantis and his team is doing an awesome job working with the industry to mitigate those issues on the older projects. now newer projects state of florida is about to get 33%

increased federal funding from the bipartisan infrastructure bill and we're seeing bids coming in 30 to 40% higher on construction projects because of the uncertainty on what the price is going to do in the future. so while there is increased funding from the federal bill, a lot of it is going to pay for inflation in the near term. so that's a huge challenge going forward. >> dana: you also say the suppliers aren't necessarily honoring their contracts and asking subcontractors to pay higher prices and then that means none of these projects can get fully funded and finished, is that right? >> well true. so we've had about 8 to 10 electrical contractors go out of business because they can't sustain that with that. the federal policy is something we need to revisit. they don't pay for retro active price adjustments even though the commodity price indexes has

shown significant increase. the policy is -- nobody can foresee that pvc will be 400 percent when they did it. >> dana: you think there should be use of some of the unused covid relief funds to do. it even president biden if he wants the infrastructure projects to get done for his signature achievement that he calls the infrastructure bill. it would seem to make sense. are you getting resistance from washington on that? >> well, the first is the policy of retro active price adjustments. the federal government and u.s. dot needs to revisit that and need to fund it. there is significant amount of unspent covid relief dollars. a good way to take that and most of the businesses are going to suffer in the near term will be small businesses and the dbes and the companies

who don't have the bandwidth to survive that kind of price increases. so adjusting older contracts where nobody could have foreseen what the price increase is going to be, i think there is a way of doing it. state of florida is demonstrating it and looking at different material price indexes so that it is not subject to different suppliers playing games. i think it can be done but i think doing that will help future contracts and future pricing much more predictable. >> dana: last question. you are in florida. do you hear from your colleagues around the country facing the same problem? >> it's a huge problem nationwide. nobody is immune to that, so yeah, it is a huge problem. >> dana: one of the things is with the gas tax holiday the president wanted to put forward that would take money out of the infrastructure funds so i call it policy cannibalism which is never a good thing. thank you so much for coming on and we hope this gets better for everyone soon.

thank you. >> good to be with you. >> dana: fox news alert demonstrations underway outside the u.s. supreme court as nation awaits the release of new rulings that could reshape a america. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. are you ready? >> bill: i'm ready. are you? >> dana: ready. i got my cheat sheet on top. >> bill: is today the day? i'm bill hemmer. good morning. the high court releasing new decisions any moment. there are 13 opinions remaining in this session. you've got high-profile cases that involve gun rights, religious freedom. border security and the case of abortion still undecided. david spunt begins our coverage this hour as we await the possibility forthcoming. good morning to you in d.c. >> good morning to you. busy two days ahead. supreme court term is expected to end next week and it's typical we get the big cases at the end of the term.

a rainy day in the nation's capital. second amendment case is considered the biggest dealing with gun rights in more than a decade. it deals with whether the empire state, new york state conceal carry law violates the second amendment to the constitution. the century old new york law requires gun owners to show proper cause to carry a gun for self-defense in public. right now it is up to local authorities to decide the parameters for giving out the concealed carry licenses. another high-profile case about separation of church and state specifically this man coach joe kennedy, a former high school football coach in seattle, washington who went to the supreme court for his job back after he claims he was fired for praying on the field at the end of football games. no question bill and dana, the blockbuster case of this term, the future of abortion access in this country. the justices heard a mississippi law that would outlaw abortion after 15 weeks and the nine justices may go

further and overturn the 1973 landmark decision roe v. wade. the law of the land which permits abortions up to the 23-24 week period. in roe is overturned it would be up to the states to decide what to do about abortion. many states have trigger laws that would outlaw abortion immediately. they are expected to overturn roe v. wade. with the supreme court, things can always change. >> bill: there was a voter i.d. law in the state of maine. david, are the supreme court justices at the u.s. supreme court or are they working virtually right now? >> it is possible that some may be in the building but they are not going to be reading from the bench, which is tradition that has been done in years past pre-pandemic. they would go to the bench.

people could go into the courtroom, members of the public and press, listen to the justices. some may be in the building but these opinions are just being released online every 10 minutes. we got one now. we'll get one at 10:10, and so on. >> bill: 8-1 was the ruling. republican legislators were challenging whether or not they could intervene in a voter state i.d. law in north carolina. everyone agreed with those legislators except for sotomayor. in d.c., back to you if needed. >> dana: l.a. district attorney george gascon continuing to defend his lenient sentencing policies that many say led to the murders of the two los angeles area police officers as we learn another case has a grieving mother wonder why gascon allowed a dangerous convict to go free. the latest on this story.

>> george gascon is publicly doubling down on his office's decision to give probation to the alleged killer of those two el monte police officers and now also trying to explain why a man previously convicted of shooting to death two people in l.a. was set free and charged with a third murder a few months ago. he was convicted for 2009 gang related double murder. sentenced to life in prison. after serving less than 12 years he was released last year. then in april of this year he was charged with the murder in the shooting death of a 42-year-old transient named mario rodriguez. in 2016 california voters passed a law requiring any minors that were tried as an adult to have what is called a transfer hearing to determine if their original sentence should hold. prosecutors tell fox news they were ready for the transfer hearing but george gascon refused to participate in the transfer hearing under a blanket policy ending those

cases for juveniles resulting in the defendant being set free. fox news set down with the mother. she is concerned gascon's policies will harm more people and will sign a recall petition to remove him from office. >> it is very bad because they are letting them go. other families will suffer what i am suffering and what i have suffered. >> last night at a town hall gascon defended his decisions in this case. >> we had experts take a look at this case. under the law we didn't think we could meet our burden to send him back to adult prison or adult court. >> prosecutors and sources tell fox news that gascon is misrepresenting the facts in this case. his office denies that and tells fox news it understands people are angry but say the record of juveniles being released after being sentenced

to life has been overwhelmingly positive. we'll continue to follow this, dana. >> dana: joining us for more on this civil rights attorney leo terrell. every single time one of these things comes up gascon seems to have a different set of facts than everyone else. it does make me wonder. am i getting something wrong? what is happening here, leo? >> thanks for having me. you are not getting anything wrong. he doubled down on his own facts. his facts are not the absolute fact at issue. you have the officers who were -- two officers who were murdered and he claims the assailant wasn't a threat, wasn't dangerous. he was dangerous. he had a gun, ammo, he was a convicted felon. he should have been behind bars. you have george gascon who has a pro-criminal attitude. career criminals he doesn't see as a threat. yet he continues to double down and this other case, the most recent case, dana, is a person who committed a double murder.

he was a juvenile. george gascon has a blanket policy if you commit a crime as a juvenile you shouldn't be tried as an adult. that policy does not fit all for career criminals. >> bill: if he is going to continue to make decisions this way, leo, you will have more incidents in the l.a. area. there are millions of people who live there. you had one just the other day. two clips from gascon. this sound bite on camera. >> he could have easily committed it. he was released on bail because the court determined that he was not dangerous. we don't have a personal goal or a way to convict when there is no prior history of violence. >> bill: there is his defense no prior history of violence with regard to the guy who killed the two cops. now, he gave a quote to the daily news. i want to put a fine point on this, leo, we cannot use single

tragedies to make policy. one person's failures cannot lead if you doubt the potential of everyone else. so that is his philosophy. but it has not been, unfortunately, one single tragedy. >> i read that same quote that you just put up on the screen. it is insulting to the people who lost loved ones. here is the situation in los angeles. 500,000 people have already signed a petition to recall george gascon. i signed that petition. they need 567,000 signatures by july 6th. they probably need 10 or 15% over that in order to put this guy on the ballot. this recall. every time we wait until this gets validated, he pops a bottle of champagne. once this recall gets on the ballot he is gone. but he is steadfast to his progressive criminal activity. citizens of l.a. need to have their heads on a swivel, bill,

in order to protect themselves because crime is occurring everywhere within los angeles county. >> dana: there was -- not only individuals signing the petition for the recall. the el monte city council where the officers worked had this resolution that we believe d.a. gascon's policies have been shown to the detrimental to public safety and detrimental to the goal we share of rehabilitating people away from criminal activity as shown by the high failure rate of his policy of not holding people accountable for their criminals acts. i think, leo, you are somebody who believes that there is some need for criminal justice reform or rehabilitation or rethinking how we try to help people leaving jail to never commit another violent act or a crime that will land them back in jail. just because you enforce the laws on the books does not mean that you can't also help on the anti-recidivism rate. >> el monte is the 35th city

within the county who have supported the recall of george gascon. george gascon makes the false assumption, dana, that the current policies on record cannot be used to help people rehabilitate themselves. but what we're talking about is he has given a free get out of jail card to career criminals. two cases we've talked about today. these are people who have had a propensity to engage in crime for years, for years and yet i haven't seen any alternative as to rehabilitating these people other than just letting them back out, dana. all he is doing is opening up the jails and saying go back out. he gives them an eighth, ninth and 10th chance to commit further crimes. >> bill: thank you. unfortunately we'll be on this story for some time. thank you for your time. >> dana: good to see you. >> bill: we have new fallout from the school shooting in texas. the massacre in uvalde. school district placing the

police chief pete arredondo on administrative leave. many lawmakers criticizeing thinks decisions that morning with some calling his leadership an abject failure. meanwhile, one state lawmaker is suing the texas department of public safety demanding that all records in sboo* the agency's response the day of the shooting saying families deserve to know the truth and dana, it is a fact. the more we learn from that senate hearing down in austin, texas, the things that we're learning must be just heartbreaking -- heart breaking to the families listening to it. we had a mayor of uvalde. he gave significant pushback against those leading the hearing saying you wanted us to cooperate and keep quiet and we did. essentially said and now you are running all this back in the other direction and he suggested they would end

cooperation. but what they are uncovering right now about what happened inside that school room cannot be settling to anybody in texas or anybody watching. >> dana: enrageing to say the least. also this, watch here. >> president biden: i guarantee you we are going to end fossil fuel and i am not going to cooperate. >> dana: oh boy. that was biden on the campaign trail vowing to end fossil fuels and his administration is facing off big oil demanding lower prices and threatening repercussions if they don't. >> bill: whispers getting louder among democrats many questioning whether or not president biden should run again. would the vice president get the top of the ticket? bret baier on that and a lot more coming up. >> no, i wouldn't support any democrat. >> i don't think she deserves it. i think she is a joke, to be honest. >> i would support her but open to other candidates as well.

>> dana: this is happening as we deal with inflation and gas prices and is it putin's fault and republicans? hillary vaughn is on capitol hill trying to get the word in. the fed chair jerome powell caught him in the hallway and here is what happened. >> chairman powell should the president stop calling it putin's price hike? you told lawmakers yesterday that inflation started well before the war in ukraine. so should he stop saying it's putin's price hikes? has the president done everything he can to bring prices down for the american people? is there more that he could be doing? >> sorry, he can't stop right now. >> bill: points for effort, right? >> dana: he does have more

questions on capitol hill he will have to answer. that was a significant departure what the president was saying at the same time yesterday. amazing. >> bill: thank you, hillary. more to come from you. >> dana: for more on this we want to go through fox business's edward lawrence live at the white house. when that happened yesterday you were watching a split screen. what was your reaction? >> very interesting to see the dichotomy. very interesting to see chairman powell has been honest about the things the way inflation is unfolding and the way that gas prices and everything has risen. that was on display yesterday. the president on the other hand playing a little loose with the facts. the president laying out yesterday why we needed a gas tax holiday. in doing so he blamed russian president vladimir putin saying there has been a $2 increase in gas prices since the invasion. where president biden took office and the invasion and what gas prices has done.

it has gone $1.40 since the russian invasion. the president called republicans to except the higher prices. >> president biden: so for all those republicans in congress criticizing me today for high gas prices in america, are you now saying we were wrong to support ukraine? are you saying we were wrong to stand up to putin, are you saying we would rather have lower gas prices in america and putin's iron fist in europe? i don't believe that. >> however, the federal reserve chairman testified what you have been alluding to inflation including gas prices was inflated long before russia invaded ukraine. what the president did not mention is any change to his added regulations and restrictions on the oil industry in the u.s. that's something that suppliers say would help. >> administration keeps throwing wet blankets on the oil and gas industry trying to solve the problem around it. the national gas tax holiday

meeting with the saudis, none of it is striking at the heart of what we need, which is more supply. they raised the royalty rates on drilling on federal lands and canceled the offshore lease programs and canceled all these pipelines. >> today the energy secretary is meeting with the big seven oil executives at the department. they have a message for them to pump more oil and refine more gas, they will have a message for the administration saying back off and work with us and stop ville filing us. >> democrat circles are saying president biden is too old for another term. david axelrod saying this to the "new york times." if the president were not to run it is hard to imagine that newsom, the governor of california, would not be tempted to enter race. he is young and politically

muscular, what the market will be seeking post biden. bret baier is here now. >> dana: i love that phrase. politically muscular. no woman called that. but i also think this was a devastating quote for kamala harris the vice president of the united states, for david axelrod who everyone turns to as the democratic guru. the one who knows campaign. last week in the "new york times" saying that president biden will be too old to be president in a second term and this week saying that gavin newsom is politically muscular and hard to imagine he would not be tempted to enter the race. like pushing him into the pool. >> it is amazing to see all these stories with unnamed sources and then the named sources like david axelrod and others touting other people for 2024 as this president is going through the stretch he is going through. i think you are right. kamala harris is really taking it on the chin as far as

democratic consultants and pundits but there is a reason. if you look at the latest new hampshire poll, a lot of focus on it for governor ron desantis being up two points on former president trump. the university of new hampshire well respected poll up there. first in the nation primary state. but inside that poll is a question. vice president kamala harris favorable, unfavorable. 23 favorable, 64 unfavorable. 13 points below president biden in new hampshire and a reason why the pundits are talking about everyone else besides the vice president even as they are saying the president is too old or shouldn't do it. >> bill: i want to add. i looked through this piece with axelrod's comments. i don't know if he was asked the question or if he just offered it on his own. i think it's a critical part of the story here. i think the other thing and you rightfully point out over the last two weeks these are

democrats talking. these are democrats writing pieces deliberately saying that there is no chance you should think about a second term. so they have already made up their mind, which in their head says it's a question of when or if joe biden comes around to realizing it himself. >> i agree with you, bill. it's astonishing. some of these are democratic national committee members, some pundits now, some had really high positions in the democratic party. i've heard gavin newsom thrown out there. he has a lot of baggage with how california has handled covid. the whole french laundry restaurant visit at the beginning and what the california economy looks like. a lot of businesses are moving out of california. i've heard prytzger, governor of illinois. that economy is upside down as far as businesses and people moving out of illinois and how they handled covid. so i think there is a sense that people, democrats are

throwing stuff up against the wall as they are facing the red wave in november of 2022. but what happens after that is really going to be the test. >> dana: another thing, there is a report today that campaigns on the democratic side are having a hard time finding staff to work on campaigns and it's interesting. we're just four months from the mid-terms. the day of the presidential election, that campaign starts really that night, the night of the mid-terms. and so with newsom being out there, for example, all of the people that think they might want to run they will try to find good staff. watch any of those movements. if you are early on, will you make a bet with newsom early on or do you want to stay with the white house? who will be brave enough to say we'll go ahead and do a primary? if a first-term president gets a primary we know what usually happens, they often lose. that's another thing to look at. >> you're right. the environment right now just by the polls as they stand, and

again we always put the caveat we are a long way from november. the polls as they stand are worse than they were for president obama's shell acting of the 60 seats. the party will have to do something different or they will double down. >> dana: i don't know. >> bill: off to vegas we roll. >> exactly. >> bill: see you at 6:00. >> dana: a jury letting a driver off the hook in a deadly rampage in times square. how did this happen? we'll ask jonathan turley. a company that scrubs unwanted photos from the internet accused of exploiting dangerous technology. do the risks outweigh the rewards? ♪♪♪

>> bill: we have one decision handed down by the u.s. supreme court dealing with guns in america. it is a 6-3 ruling. we haven't seen the opinion yet, dana. at issue here was new york state rifle and pistol versus brew-in. the biggest gun control case the court has had in 14 years. at issue two gun owners in new york had their applications denied based on a failure to show what is considered a proper cause. in states like new york to carry a concealed weapon outside of the home, you need special permission to do that and these men were arguing it is a violation of second amendment rights. so the court rules, here we go now. the court holds that new york's proper cause requirement to obtain a concealed carry license violates the

constitution by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their second amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense. that's the ruling 6-3. it will affect states like new york and about seven others that had similar restrictive rules. >> dana: this is a significant big case. i know we have jonathan turley and shannon bream with us. we'll get them here in a moment. let me set up one thing and andy mccarthy. it's 6-3. one of the things that happened in this case and jonathan maybe go to your first if you are able is that the gun rights activists, once they started down this road, they might have realized as some point as i remember reading they might have actually hurt their cause here because this is now -- this decision kind of -- for the gun rights people it backfired. for people wanting people to have more self-defense rights, it seems that they have won in

this supreme court case? >> they have won and it is an interesting point that you make. new york has been the gift that keeps on giving for gun rights advocates. they like d.c. and chicago have lost major cases before the supreme court. this was a case that many of us wrote on when it was in the lower court. i thought that it would result, as it did today. this was a case that clearly was unconstitutional under the controlling authority of heller. and what you have in jurisdictions like new york is a very strong gun control effort but they often produce cases that quite frankly are welcomed by many gun rights advocates because you can create in their view it was a bad case to make some good law. and they did so. this is a 6-3 decision. you have justice thomas looking at the history of the second

amendment, looking at the holding in heller and saying that the answer is clear that you cannot impose this burden on gun owners to be able to carry a concealed weapon. >> bill: stand by here. you and andy mccarthy and shannon bream are reading through the opinion right now. shannon, i want to go to you. in major ruling for gun rights the supreme court sided with these two gun owners in new york saying that they are striking down the restrictive gun law in new york state. shannon, to you, what do you read? >> what had happened is these two gun owners were looking for the opportunity to carry a concealed weapon. they had other licenses in other things that allowed them to carry their guns for specific reasons but said i want to carry one. i think it is my constitutional right. in new york you had to have a special showing. you had to have a reason to say that you had a justification for carrying a gun in a concealed way. they said there shouldn't be

those restrictions if i'm a law-abiding citizen. i should be able to carry. in striking down the new york law and sending the case down here is what justice thomas said. a constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not a second class right subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other bill of rights guarantees. he used this language before talking about the fact that he thought the second amendment was in some cases being treated as a second class right. he goes on to say we know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officials some special need. that is not how the first amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion and not how the sixth amendments and not how the second amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense. the new york proper cause and special showing you have to

have to carry a gun violates the 14th amendment and prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. the defense is written by justice breyer joined by justice -- >> he says the government has to show a gun regulation is consistent with this nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation that goes right to the second amendment. to andy mccarthy now and your reaction, andy. >> well, i think this is a faithful rendition of what the second amendment is, the most misunderstood amendment in our public discourse, i think, bill. the second amendment is not a right to bear arms so much as it is an acknowledgement that

there is a pre-existing right to bear arms that existed and was derived from natural rights at the time the constitution was ratified. so it is not a positive grant of a right, it is an acknowledgement of a right that already existed and a prohibition on government from regulating that right. so if you are within the right to keep and bear arms as it was understood, the idea is not the government's doing you a favor and allowing you to defend yourself, the point of the right is to limit the ability of government to disarm the public in terms of that and what the second amendment protects. so our discourse seems to presume that government has a right to regulate as long as it is reasonable and what the constitution says is no, you have a right to defend yourself and the second amendment is a limitation on the government, not a limitation on you.

>> dana: interestingly in looking at this, jonathan, a little bit of a two-part question. this is seismic for a lot of reasons especially because it is not just new york. these are the other states where it would have an effect. california, delaware, hawaii, maryland, massachusetts, new jersey, and rhode island. and when you have a case like this that has such a seismic impact, how long does it take for those other states or even new york to change its rules? as of today does it change? >> those are presumptively unconstitutional and they should be changed. the question is, they really can't be enforced as tow contradict this decision. this is a momentous decision for gun rights advocates and for the second amendment. it has all of the elements that

you often associate with a thomas opinion. he brings up originalist history swatting back arguments from later in -- after the ratification as largely irrelevant to understand the intent behind the second amendment but most importantly the court rejects a two-part test for looking at limitations on gun rights and stresses you need to presume that people have a right to exercise individual rights like gun possession. and that means that you can't put the thumb on the scale as new york did here to show us that you have proper cause, including moral standing, to have a gun. and what the court really hammers at is that this would not be tolerated with other rights in the bill of rights and there is a tendency among many -- among some judges and many legal analysts to treat the second amendment as

something less than an individual right. and what justice thomas is saying here is that this is an individual right with the other rights in the bill of rights. and we don't like shifting the burden to people to say prove you need to use this right. >> bill: back to shannon and andy on this. this first case regarding guns of significance before the court in 14 years. and shannon, in 2008 they ruled that the second amendment guaranteed individuals the right to have a gun at home for self-defense. and now this ruling essentially addresses whether the individual can carry the gun outside the home. and shannon, after living in new york for the past 20 years i can tell you for those, whether they support or against the second amendment, living in new york, if you wanted to get a gun, it wasn't impossible but it was pretty close to it. >> yeah, exactly.

that's an issue that these two gun owners who decided to push forward with this case said there are those who are whether they're lawmakers, celebrities, sports stars, whatever they are. those folks usually have their own security or able to get this particular concealed carry license so they can protect themselves. part of the argument is why should everyday american citizens not have the same right to protect themselves if this is about self-defense. new york did permit other licensing allowed you to transport guns for hunting and practice. one said we know how to handle guns safely and why can't we carry a gun for our own protection? that was definitely a big part of the argument. looking at the dissent it goes exactly where you think it would. it begins with a statistics about shootings and deaths by guns in america where that

takes us. but that seems to be the majority wholly apart from where they are going in the majority opinion. justice thomas has said in the past that he thought the second amendment was being treated as a second class right. for a long time the court hasn't taken a gun case and a number of gun cases have bubbled up. even in not taking the cases they said the fact we won't address these we aren't treating it right like other constitutional rights. it is time to take one of these cases and make a decision. 6-3, a very big decision and comes at a time when this country is grappling with the debates with horrific incidents in buffalo and uvalde and now a gun bill sitting in the senate and could get a vote today. >> dana: i was thinking about that vote today that could happen at any moment. schumer, the senate majority leader, does plan to call it up and there will be 30 hours of debate and could be voted on

finally tomorrow. andy, one thing i noted here is that in the dissent justice breyer refers to uvalde and buffalo and i know you haven't had the chance to read 135 pages in three minutes but justice alito has a retort regarding buffalo. i assume it has to do with the responsible gun owners who can legally carry a firearm. that's what this specific supreme court case is about. >> yeah. i think that's right. i think considering that part of the dissent and picking up from what shannon just said about statistics and bringing the fact pattern up to the modern day, i'm reminded of what justice scalia said in heller, which is that look, we have this second amendment which protects a pre-existing right to have self-defense in

the form of firearms that are in common use. now we could amend the second amendment. we could change it so that it would allow firearms that are even beyond what's in common use, or we could amend it and take it out of the constitution. but the court's obligation is to give effect to what the second amendment says as it was originally understood when it was adopted. so all this stuff about modern circumstances and statistics and what i think the court is saying is fine, amend the constitution if you are not happy with the second amendment but our job is to give effect to what the second amendment says as it was understood when it was adopted. >> bill: thanks to all three of you for the quick reaction. reading one more thing from justice thomas's decision nothing in the second amendment distinguishes between home and public with respect to the right to keep and bear arms.

which was the question before the court. chief justice roberts voted with the majority at 6-3 and justice thomas's birthday today. >> dana: i didn't know that one, either. we'll take a quick break. we'll be right back. that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. i'm susan and i'm 52 yand i live in san francisco,g for ycalifornia.rill, i have been a sales and sales management professional my whole career. typical day during a work week is i'm working but first always going for a run or going to the gym. i love reading. i love cooking healthy. it's super important to me. i was noticing that i was just having some memory loss. it was really bothering me. so i tried prevagen and it started to work for me. i wish i had taken prevagen five or ten years ago. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

>> bill: this is the beginning of what will be significant reaction to the decision by the u.s. supreme court. the governor here in new york is already at the microphone in a reelection battle about four months' time. kathy hochul from upstate new york. drop in. >> we'll have training requirements and make sure that people have concealed weapons as specified training. we have a lot of ideas and look at a system where businesses and private property owners would have the right to protect themselves. so stay tuned. stay tuned. we are just getting started here. and today we are here to talk about another step that we think is so important to protect the lives of our children. >> dana: she was due to give a speech about schools and keeping schools safe when this supreme court ruling came down. she said they're on top of it. her office has had language

prepared to take to the state legislature because they anticipated that they would lose in this case. they have lost. and this will affect gun ownership across the country and the rights of people to be able to not only protect themselves in their home but to carry that weapon legally with them. >> bill: during the commercial break she had a message to the supreme court in 1788 you carried a musket, not today. it's part of the argument and pushback you'll hear. it applies to new york, california, new jersey, massachusetts, maryland. we'll continue to get more reaction. >> dana: don't forget delaware. >> bill: a few more decisions coming up from the supreme court. more breaking news. this is significant. watch this now for years. the f.d.a. has officially banned all juul e-cigarettes in the u.s. following a two-year

investigation that found that juul broke the law by claiming the products were low risk. it could crush that company and a few others like it. multi-millions -- multi-billion industry and the f.d.a. weighed in a moment ago. >> dana: during the obama administration they tried to put them out of business and juul -- this has been an ongoing issue for them. a lot of people who have actually used e-cigarettes to get themselves off regular cigarettes but the administration is making a move to regular cigarettes to reduce the amount of nicotine to make them less addictive. it boomerangs and then people use other things. >> bill: a big decision from the f.d.a. this says well. >> dana: today marks the 50th anniversary of title ix. many female athletes say their rights are under attack with

college programs trying to cater to transgender athletes. we have two athletes here from the alliance defending freedom. thank you for being willing to be here and talk to us. tell us a little bit about your experience so far and your decision to join this lawsuit. >> well, in 2019 when i was a freshman i was forced to compete against two biological males and competing at the meets that really counted and at meets like state open and the new england regional meet i left with a third place medal instead of second place. my hard work wasn't paying off. >> bill: you felt defeated before you stepped onto the track because i kept it to myself even knowing a male had been breaking records in the girls' events. you are making the case it is not fair. >> yeah. i lost a lot of my confidence because i felt like the race was over before i even began and so i knew i needed to stand up and speak out and tell my story and hope that other

female athletes would do the same. >> dana: you are helping her in this. today is the 50th anniversary of title ix. i'm amazed you don't have retired female athletes who fought for title ix in the first place coming out and defending these young women. do they want to speak out and are just afraid? >> i would say we're seeing more women across the country title ix pioneers standing up and speaking out saying the 50th anniversary of title ix we need to celebrate the accomplishments of female athletes but protect title ix and women's sports for the next generation. we have biden administration policies and organizations across the country allowing biological males to come in and dominate women's sports. >> bill: what did you think of the international decision if you start the transition prior

to the age of 12 you can compete? >> it is a step in the right direction any time we're trying to protect the integrity of women's sports for female athletes but i do have significant concerns about any attempt to push children towards irreversible medical proper seizures and off label use of drugs. the bottom line is we must protect the female sex category so girls like alannah can continue to showcase the talents and earn college scholar ships. >> dana: where do you see ahead for your future and feel motivated to train as you have? >> i do. i still want to continue to break records and run more personal bests and next year be competing at the university of tennessee. >> dana: excellent. >> bill: i was reading about your family. you have great dna. your parents and your grand parents and your great grand

parents have blessed you with great ability. thank you for sharing your story. thank you so much. here we go now. supreme court has issued a ruling on one of the four or five major cases that have yet to be decided today. it was on guns in a case that we've been talking about for the past half hour. there were, dana, 13 decisions yet to be announced. we have several today. and we will in all likelihood get another big one tomorrow and then into next week for the final week of the session. >> dana: jonathan turley and andy mccarty are still with us. i was wondering about this court and the makeup of it. this is the first we've seen of this full court being able to express themselves in these decisions. is there a pattern that you see developing? >> it's undeniable, dana, that justice barrett's inclusion on the court really changes the

dynamic of the court. to the extent that the chief justice was willing to kind of play the role of swing justice between two sides of a 5-4 court, he had, i think, much more control over the docket, much more control over not only which cases they took, but which issues they would decide in those cases. with justice barrett on the court, it doesn't so much change the ideological trajectory. if you have a conservative majority whether it's five or six it's conservative, right? what it does do it changes and very much limits chief justice roberts' ability to deflect away from the court the hot potato issues that he would rather stay out of. particularly at a time when you have all these threats of court packing and the very turbulent term that we've seen the supreme court have this term. >> bill: there are nine decisions yet to be handed down.

of those nine, all right, four of the nine, one includes religious liberty, a case out of washington state where a coach kneeled on the football field and said a prayer at the end of the game. there is a case out there about environmental protection laws that goes to the e.p.a. and climate change. what the federal government can and cannot do. a case about immigration with the remain in mexico policy put into place on behalf of the trump administration and then the abortion case out of mississippi. the question before the court concerns a law that bans all abortions past 15 weeks except in very limited medical circumstances. about 30 seconds left, andy. is the court gathered at the court now or are they working remotely given some of the electronic rulings that are handed down? >> bill, i don't know the answer to that and frankly if i did know the answer to it i would ask you if i could not give it given the security

situation we've had with the court for the last seven weeks or so. i was wrong today. i thought they would do at least six and then release another six tomorrow and be done with it because with the security tensions, i think they want to be done with all this as fast as they can. >> dana: an interesting point. they didn't go that direction. more opinions tomorrow and here to cover it for you. harris faulkner is up next. here she is. >> harris: as we continue with the breaking news now after a significant development as the nation's highest court has just handed gun owners a victory. it would allow more americans the right to carry concealed handguns in public spaces. of course, this started in the state of new york and as it got pushed through this process, gun owners continue to pick up victories. i'm harris faulkner and are you in "the faulkner focus". the u.s. supreme court's conservative majority tossed
