word on your hopes and maybe your -- the disappointment you have. oakland is a beautiful place but not great if it's not safe. >> i agree with you. i city innovation, create activity and a sense of pride in the cities that i've seen in very few places i've traveled. know who your local district member is, get involved with community organizations. we have a great one in oakland called neighbors together oakland doing amazing work. make sure you are emailing and calling your district representatives. get involved and channel that frustration into something positive. all of the best things in the world start at the ground level and work their way up. nothing good comes from the top down. we have to organize as a community and make our voices heard and we have to be solutions oriented and state optimistic. >> dana: thank you for hanging with us through the desantis speech there. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> dana: fox news alert.

supreme court set to release new rulings any moment. a big one we're waiting for will decide the fate of president biden's student loan relief plan. the court must decide whether the administration has the legal authority to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars worth of student debt held by millions of americans. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. >> dana: what? >> bill: for later. i'm bill hemmer, good morning at home. the nation awaiting the supreme court decision on the student loan bail-out. at stake forgiving more than $4 billion in student debt allowing people who received the federal loans to keep that money in their pocket. some lawmakers are pushing to repeal the president's plan for student hand-outs. grady trimble live at fox business on the hill. let's start there, grady. good morning. >> good morning to you, bill. the debt ceiling vote is getting most of the attention here right now.

but another vote could happen as early as today that would undo president biden's student loan cancellation plan. the resolution already passed the house. it would scrap student debt forgiveness of up to $20,000 under the president's plan and it would require borrowers to start making payments again. those payments have been paused since the start of the pandemic. >> for the party behind a long list of pandering giveaways, student loan socialism just might actually take the cake. >> we should be in the business of helping americans saddled with student loan debt not making their problem worse. >> despite the opposition from most democrats, senators joe manchin and john tester helped the resolution clear a key procedural hurdle yesterday along with kyrsten sinema. manchin says biden's proposal forces taxpayers who paid off their loans or didn't go to

college at all to shoulder the costs for those who did. the white house has already said it plans to veto this resolution if it ends up on the president's desk. but once again republicans are clearly sending a message that they do not agree with the president's policies in this case student debt forgiveness. >> bill: grady, nice to see you, live on when hill for us. >> dana: i think the president has been looking for an off ramp for this for a while. i think because the president knows it is not legal, he is waiting for the supreme court to say so and he can turn to somebody like elizabeth warren saying they are blocking the student debt relief plan and force borrowers to pay back and claw back debt relief from public servants. a slap in the face to working people. that's where the debate will go from here. >> bill: if we were student and signed a contract we would think we had to fulfill that contract and pay the money.

>> dana: unless you are told by democratic leaders for so long you won't have to and then you would be mad. >> bill: that would be a magical world growing up. >> dana: not the world we live in. >> bill: see what the justices decide. maybe comes down in a moment. >> dana: more from kevin mccarthy here. >> tonight we'll do something we haven't done before. tonight we are going to vote for the largest savings in american history. over $2.1 trillion. that's what we'll vote on. >> every great nation that has over extended itself has collapsed. >> dana: kevin mccarthy as the house passed the bill sending it to the senate. karl rove, former white house deputy chief of staff and fox news contributor. one question about the debt ceiling and we have a lot of

politics in 2024 to ask you about. kevin mccarthy, does he actually really face a leadership test from some of the republicans next week as they are intimating? >> well, i think they will talk about it. in the end it won't amount to much. think about it. step back a couple of months. he was not expected to be able to forge an agreement among republicans that would allow the house to pass a bill to -- for anything but a clean debt ceiling. he couldn't coble together enough votes to trim back spending and he did. then difficult to get it passed because he would face anger within his own party over the deal. again, it passed. and now the battle is over in the senate and the senate has already said we only have one alternative. to pass the bill that the house sent to us. the guy who has driven this truck, the guy the speaker of

the house who won after 15 votes and thought to be in a weak position to govern but has demonstrated even with that difficult victory to get elected speaker, he has been able to very effectively govern as speaker. >> bill: i think that line every great nation that overextended itself has collapsed. that's true. we're still at 31 trillion and growing. we're watching ron desantis last hour in new hampshire now and see donald trump later tonight at a town hall in iowa. the president in colorado making a speech later today. it really feels like we have turned the knob now on this election campaign. here is where we think we are in the republican field. fox news polling trump at 53, desantis 20, mike pence five and on down the line with haley and ramaswamy at 4% each. next week i think if we have this conversation a few weeks ago we would believe the field would be single digits.

can we agree on that? i thought that's how it was shaping up. mike pence is getting in next week, chris christie is getting in next week. sununu hasn't made a decision. how big does it grow, karl? >> well, i'm not surprised by any of this thus far. the question is and sununu addressed it in the previous hour. the question is not how big is the field now but how big is the field when we get ready to vote next year? he is right. there is a sentiment inside the republican party if you've got a shot. you get the opportunity to go out and do something this year. if you don't have it together and it is clear you aren't going to be able to get it together, then you need to get out and the field needs to be smaller. it won't be 17 people like we had last time to start. it will be less than ten, i think, this time around and it will slim up as we go along. but we are so focused on all these polls and the national

polls are interesting but the key will be what happens in the individual states. remember, each state has a different tempo. in iowa they are late to make up their minds and why people like mike huckabee and rick santorum and ted cruz were in single digits in the middle and fall of the year before we went to vote and yet won the iowa caucuses in january or february of their election year. iowa makes a decision and as a result we have surprises. the last time we had somebody win iowa who led at this point was in 2000 on the republican side. so we have to be a little careful. the national polls are interesting and nice to see what kind of movement there may be later on in the year as people get better known. the key is what's happening in the early states of

oceans policies so maybe inflation drops down on immigration and crime. stay there, as we saw from quinnipiac on the issue is just throw inflation, isn't it? it inflation is an expression of a bigger issue. the economy and the economy is going to be the big issue in 2024 because we face the likelihood of recession, a slowdown and even

if we don't have recession, the economy is growing at an anemic rate in people understand that so the candidate with the pro economic growth message you can give people optimism and hope that they've got the policies. to energize our economy in the advantage. >> bill: well done. thank you, karl. >> dana: thank you. take care. >> thank you. >> bill: virginia middle school is saying lao den county students are -- the principal claims the fight clubs were at some students homes and some parents condoned it. griff jenkins, what did you find out? >> good morning, bill. a terrifying scenario. consider kids age 11-14 years old being pitted against each other for money posting it to social media with some parents allegedly on board. a middle school principal is having none of that warning in a letter.

we want to inform parents about influences that tried to make their way into the building. students created fight clubs with brackets betting and challenges and many parents are well aware of their child's participation in them. some hosting in their garage or basement. she continues we cannot tell you how to parent but when your children create tiktoks and instagram pages using lunsford's name and attempt to hold fights in hallways and bathrooms we'll take action. it appears most of the fights, bill, posted online have been taken down. one father who was unaware of the fight club left shocked it was going on. >> i was surprised that parents knew that and letting it happen. definitely i was not happy. >> loudon county representative issued a statement saying violent behavior, fighting and its promotion on social media have no place in our school

community. bill, we reached out yesterday to the loudon county sheriff's office to see if law enforcement is shutting it down. they tell fox news they are investigating the matter but no charges filed at this time. >> bill: nice to have you on. griff jenkins in d.c. further to the northeast we roll back to new hampshire. we told you the knob was turning on this campaign, right? this is democratic presidential candidate robert f. kennedy junior. he is in new hampshire at the state senate. drop on in. >> i am here because i am going to put my name in this primary and state. i oppose the dnc's decision to take away new hampshire's status. it is more of a tradition, new hampshire plays a critical role in vetting candidates for the rest of the country. [applause]

in other parts of the united states, the states are content with having politicians come in with money they have gotten from billionaires and with advertising or oh nationally rallies that are orchestrated where the crowds have been screened and they are a theater democracy. here politicians get real democracy and they encounter people at hair salons, barbershops, they have to talk to the 80-year-old lady who reads the financial time and economists every week and asks a follow up question that they will never get from cnn, never get it from "the new york times" even. and it is retail politics.

and they are vetting our candidates the same way they would vet the city council candidate or local mayor. and they do it for the rest of the country. the other thing that's very important about new hampshire is that 42 percenters of the people in this state are registered independents. the highest of any state. the importance of that right now is that those are people who are critical thinkers, independent thinkers and they are able to step outside of that paralyzing iceberg of partisanship that has our country at each other's throats. they're able to look at candidates without the ideology blocking their vision and really judge the candidates on what they say and be open to new ideas that are not locked in that ideological razor grip.

right now it's particularly important in new hampshire that we have a real democracy and a democratic election in new hampshire. there are so many americans who believe that this system is rigged. the economic system but also the political system. that the elections are fixed. new hampshire has the gold standard for political elections. people don't question the results and we ought to be the democratic party out to be making this election a template for democracy to our country and to the rest of the world and say we will have real democracy where candidates meet, human beings are questioned by them and have town halls and deal with all of the difficulties of retail politics. >> bill: sounds a bit old school for a politician. that's robert f. kennedy junior speaking in new hampshire dealing with a voice box issue for himself for years now so

that explains the voice there, too. if you listen to him talk, he is an old school democrat. he will go out there and talk about the environment and pollution and keeping the water clean. doesn't talk about solar panels or electric vehicles or green new deals or batteries. it comes from a different era trying to make a run in the democratic nomination. >> dana: if you are a democrat and looking for an alternative. he is there new hampshire is mad at president biden for trying to take away its first in the nation status and moving the first state to south carolina. so i think the republicans are more than happy to allow rfk junior to have this opportunity today and we were glad to bring it to you as well as the candidates roll on today. >> no longer are we going to capitulate to oppressors. no longer are we going to put our hope in their depraved consciousness. >> dana: public law school graduate in new york city

sparking outrage. governor hochul is refusing to condemn her remarks as hate speech. lee zeldin with join us. >> i have all the proof in the world i wasn't even involved in anything and what i was doing, i was doing. when i said i was doing. >> bill: a long-time suspect in the disappearance of teamster leader jimmie hoffa saying he had nothing to do with it. eric shawn has his interview today. >> dana: san francisco is looking to clean up its image. what they want you to see before you visit. is it really what you get? tom shillue will give us the real deal.

up at 2:00am again? tonight, try pure zzzs all night. unlike other sleep aids, our extended release melatonin helps you sleep longer. and longer. zzzquil pure zzzs all night. fall asleep. stay asleep.

>> in this moments of celebrating who we are, i want to celebrate cnuy to make a

public statement defending the right of its students to organize and speak out against isr israeli colonialism. this is a tax fair funded school. former new york congressman lee zeldin is with us in studio. make your case. there are images of to us they look like faculty members or maybe administrators or both who give her a standing ovation when she talks about the nypd as fetchist, talks about white supremacy. >> accusing israel of lynch mobs. graduating law school talking about the rule of law as being filled with white supremacy. so many people want to lift our country up and there are others out there using this rhetoric to tear it down. cuny has had a long history

leading to this moment. last year's commencement speaker at the the school of law had a similar issue. you had a hearing on anti-semitism new york city council scheduled around the chancellor's schedule and he is a no show. another professor in new jersey talking about death to israel. jewish professor who have resigned jobs they love. they don't feel welcome any longer. you get to this moment. it is a commencement address for family, friends and all of them should be able to enjoy this moment as a culmination of hard work and dreams coming true getting a degree. you shouldn't have to sit through this. it happens again. what will we do about it? finally some people are speaking up. mayor adams gave strong words. some people from cuny. a congressman. we need more people to speak out and go further. there needs to be a change with the administration at cuny and a

change of the culture so view i shall students and faculty are welcome. >> dana: they wanted her. >> bill: they chose her. >> standing at the commencement address is it appropriate to be providing all this hate, vitriol and evil? >> dana: i would say no. but the students knew exactly what they would be getting and were encouraging it. >> part of the problem. this is the direction of the school where you have jewish students and faculty who don't feel welcome. you don't have to be jewish to be offended. they are are offended for good reason. >> dana: what the governor said yesterday. she said i condemn all forms of hate speech. divisive, hurtful, cruel and join us in saying no more. no more hate in our state. a place where we embrace everyone especially in a higher education institution. our expectations you will be more tolerant of other views and why we have to make sure to call out the hate speech which is what happened on that stage and

i have called it out. >> the problem is you have people in office who think you put out words like that and say done. what about the action? words are important. by the way we reduced standards and expectations so much for some of these elected officials where when they post a tweet oh, thank god, the leadership you are showing by posting a tweet to say something. we need to actually do something. tax dollars go to fund this university. i believe that we should be utilizing that leverage to get the change that is needed. we're just basically barely scratching the surface of what is anti-semitism at cuny. there was a push last year's commencement speaker was the one who co-sponsored a resolution of the student senate to oppose the international holocaust remembrance alliance, to combatant i semitism. >> bill: i with like to see you go to the school and have a debate.

the board of trustees members, a couple of them said the following. free speech is precious but often messy. it's vital to the foundation of higher education, hate speech, however, should not be confused with free speech and has no place on our campuses, and our city, state and nation. >> if you take a vote to allow hate speech in a commencement address is it okay? a difference between hate speech and free speech. kudos to the trustees speaking out. the "new york post" today have it in print the names of people who spoke out and trustees who haven't. every single last one of them should be stepping up and leading. taxpayer funded university. a lot of people are upset. you can't repeat this again the third time not being a charm doing it next year. we have to stop it now. >> dana: want to get to this. house oversight chairman james comer will get to see a document allegedly linking president biden to a bribery scheme. it comes with some major strings

attached. >> my experience with getting documents from the f.b.i. when they are redacted, very -- it is all black lines. they don't show anything. need to lower your monthly expenses and get cash? here's a great way to do it. the newday 100 va cash out loan. at newday, our veterans on average pay off $44,000 of high rate debt, take out $28,000 cash and can lower the monthly payments by $500. use your va benefit at newday right now and get the financial peace of mind you've earned with your service. ♪ ♪ make your dream car...a reality.

when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom.

when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. i need it cool at night. you trying to ice me out of the bed? baby, only on game nights. you know you are retired right? am i? ya! save 50% on the sleep number limited edition smart bed. plus, free home delivery when you add an adjustable base. only at sleep number. sam was 8 when we got him. giving him fresh food where you know the ingredients and you know what's in it has absolutely helped him. taking care of him is really important... because even if sam lives to 20, it won't be long enough.

whether or not the accusations against vice president biden are accurate or not. we are responsible for making sure the f.b.i. does its job and that's what we want to know. this is just one more example of them not being forthcoming to the public because the public's business ought to be public. and there is no reason for an unclassified document to be held in secret. >> bill: that was chuck grassley out of iowa last hour with dana and me addressing the f.b.i.'s refusal to hand over documents critical to the house republican investigation into the business dealings of president biden and his family. the agency yesterday making those documents available, they say, but with major conditions. david spunt has the conditions. let's start there live from the justice department. but before we go there, jonathan turley pops out of nowhere. professor, how are you doing?

don't know if you saw chuck grassley last hour but he would not characterize the content of the document that he has personally seen. what do you make of this? >> i thought it was an incredible interview. chairman -- senator grassley is quite right that the point about this investigation is not necessarily proving the merits of bribery and the corruption of influence peddling but whether the f.b.i. itself has been corrupted by political influence. it's one of the reasons the f.b.i. is on a rather bad legal footing here. they have already said they will show this unclassified document to members of congress but these added conditions become less and less persuasive. everyone agrees you can redact material from this particularly the names of the whistleblower,

for example, or critical figures. you can't go too far without interfering with the oversight of these committees. wray understands this but the f.b.i. is still not forthcoming. >> dana: the democratic said it is all politics saying it is clear the committee republicans have always planned to hold director wray in contempt of congress to distract from the fact they do not have evidence to support their unfounded accusations against president biden. now that is their line and they are sticking to it. it does seem that this document could see the light of day and then what are they going to say? >> well, it is humorous. you have members like raskin saying where is the evidence while they vote against any

effort to acquire evidence. they oppose investigations into f.b.i. whistleblowers and opposing investigations to i.r.s. whistleblowers. it is meant to get the evidence to be evaluated. so it is rather ironic to hear democrats complaining about the lack of evidence when they are trying to stop the accumulation of evidence. the public supports these investigations. >> bill: what i heard from grassley, he would not tell us whether or not he thought there was something illegal on the document. a lot of republicans are already on that band wagon. he is not. call for number one. we'll go back to the interview. he wants the f.b.i. to do its job. that's what he said. watch. >> put it this way, there are accusations in it but that's -- it is not for me to make a judgment about whether these accusations are accurate or not. it is up to my job to make sure the f.b.i. is doing their job and that's what this is all

about as far as i'm concerned. public's business ought to be public. >> bill: they are allowed in and read the document. brings other colleagues in and see the document. if the f.b.i. doesn't make a move, this allegation is dead in the water. >> first of all, i commend the senator for showing this circum spec shun and why he was respected as a committee. this may not be true. there is a lot of information that comes to the f.b.i. from anonymous sources and other sources. but the f.b.i. itself is part of this congressional oversight investigation. now, they may, in fact, be able to put together material from this document with other parts of their investigation, the house oversight committee, just released a damning report using

a lab writhe of corporations and accounts. three so complex they seem designed to hide this trail. there are growing concerns in the public. concerns about the f.b.i.'s independence and integrity. but also concerns about corruption. even if this is not a crime, influence peddling is corrupt. it is the favorite form of corruption in washington. all of that is subject to congressional oversight. so the f.b.i. needs to be very careful. if they prove to be a choke point keeping these committees from fully investigating these issues, they will find themselves in court. >> dana: spokesman john kirby got a question about this yesterday. the reaction was interesting. watch. >> there was a poll this month that found that 53% of the public, including a fourth of democrats believe joe biden was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme. so what do you say to the majority of americans who

believe that the president is himself corrupt? >> wow. the president has spoken to this. the president has spoken to this. and there is nothing to these claims. >> dana: that's what the president has given them to say. they also do have a spokesperson in the white house counsel's office they could have floated it to. they are trying to say there is nothing to see here and yet we have these investigations ongoing and a document sitting out there and the f.b.i. might be held in contempt over it. >> right. the problem is, he is right. the president has spoken to this. and what the president has said seems to be manifestly false. the president has said that he had no knowledge of his son's business dealings and yet we have learned from the laptop there are photos with these

business associates. meetings in the white house. you have one whistleblower who said he met personally with now president biden to discuss these deals. there is references to president biden getting up to 10% of one deal and getting other benefits. so the problem is that what the president has said stands contradicted. this idea that oh my gosh, how could you suggest the president is corrupt is getting to the point of being insulting. there are millions of dollars that are going to biden family members, including grandchildren, from foreign interests including some associated with foreign intelligence. at some point you insult the intelligence of the american people with these types of dismissive comments. >> bill: professor, thank you. we'll wait to hear when others get a chance to see that document at f.b.i. headquarters and we'll bring you back. >> bill: thank you. okay.

country music star zach bryan warns fans not to touch my guitar. this is when hemmer celebrity news. roll it. did you see it? there it was. that fan was kicked out of the concert. he said get her out. bryan posted on twitter i don't mind people being disrespectful and trying to touch me or the guitar. if you try to rip it out of my hands i promise i'll rep you out of whatever venue we're at respectfully of course. >> dana: indeed. i can't believe she tried to grab the guitar. you are there to hear him play it. >> bill: he says it's his key to everything he does. that one singular guitar. >> dana: she got kicked out and probably won't do that again. be another warning. also want to go over to the west

coast. portland oregon is considering a plan to outlaw camping anywhere in the city after handing out tens of thousands of tents to the homeless. it has gotten to where city no longer feels safe. you see it all the time here. with most people who live there calling the current situation an out of control disaster. dan springer is live in the northwest bureau. will they make this change on camping? >> that's a big question, of course. you know, as we reported a lot on this channel, dana, portland has had one of the most intractable, difficult, visible homeless problems in the entire country and it goes back way before covid but now finally the city council is poised to take concrete action. they will vote on a plan, a measure next wednesday, drafted by mayor that would ban camping everywhere in the city from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and

prohibit it overnight in parks and day scare centers and sidewalks. they would be guilty of a crime and subject to punishment. a written warning but on the third violation could face a fine up to $1 hundred or 30 days in jail. here are some of the hours-long public comment last night. >> not fair to my kids or use. my toddler can watch shooting drugs into their arm at a stoplight. it is not fair to see a dead body on side of the road as we try to leave the house for hot cocoa. >> life is hard for people who live outside. this ordnance with not solve the serious problems the city is facing but make those problems worse. >> this is a reversal for portland. a couple of years ago handed out 22,000 tents and 70,000 tarps to the homeless prompting a lawsuit

by some disabled residents who said most of the sidewalks are blocked. the mayor said this measure is needed because there are still hundreds of unsanctioned camps across the city and it does appear most of the residents support it. poll taken this month found 75% of people in portland agree that homelessness in the city is an out of control disaster. dana, as you mentioned the big question is enforcement. how will it be enforced? this will be a low priority for cops. the portland street response that don't carry weapons. will they enforce it? that's the question that remains out there. looks like it will pass next week but will it be enforced is the question. >> dana: a beautiful day of weather in the northwest there. >> thank you, dan. one of america's top medical schools taking a stance against woke education. the university of north carolina

dissolving its dei task force preventing any social justice in the curriculum. that decision coming after a free speech group sent warnings over the diversity initiatives. want to bring in tom shillue for more on this. i see this as a bit of a pushback against the whole movement. >> the wave maybe has crested and now crashing. did you see the medical students there? it is diverse. the thing about dei that's so terrible about it. they don't believe their own rhetoric. they say diversity is our strength and we say that makes sense. we like that. they say no, we have to force it. we say wait, i already agreed with you. no, we have to force it. like black lives matter. then we say of course they do. they say no, no, they don't matter to you. no, they do matter to me. i told you they do. they say we have to force the issue. it is unconscious. this is where you know if they believed what they said, if they believed their slogans people

would be doing this as a matter of course and they are. people do love diverse workforces. >> bill: can you think of a major american university who has taken this position? >> dana: i don't. he mentioned unconscious. here is some of the things that were in the recommendation. unconscious bias awareness. understanding and responding to micro aggression, understanding that america's medical system is structurally racist. i wonder what the backlash will be on campus or a collective sigh of relief? can we move on and focus on learning about medicine sphere >> i think they would love it. most people believe in the rhetoric. they believe in the -- they believe in dr. king's philosophy. they have the same dream. now that we have achieved the dream and that people coast to coast believe in diversity, they do like it, what they don't like is being forced by a team of

lawyers to comply in a certain way. that's what they did in the cultural revolution. >> bill: in san francisco, they are trying to get your attention back. i want to run a clip from a travel ad they show in the city by the bay. check it out. >> welcome to the most beautiful city in the world where it's never the same but always san francisco. >> dana: i don't know if i'm buying that. >> bill: it is better with audio. we know that. dana is not buying it. are you? >> the drone footage looks fantastic. when the drone comes down to street level you have a problem. this is ironic. i am playing san francisco on july 22nd. just booked the date. i love playing these liberal cities because it is always a conservative minority but they come out. >> dana: they are excited you

are coming. >> come see me july 22nd. i just booked it. go to tom shillue.com. >> bill: give us a firsthand report. >> dana: it has been a great city under a tremendous amount of pressure and they have to change some things to return to its greatest. >> the bay area voted for ronald reagan. it doesn't seem that long ago to me. >> dana: great to see you, tom. >> bill: new revelations now about jimmie hoffa from the only living suspect in his disappearance. >> no way in a million years were you part of the squad, the mob guys who killed jimmie hoffa? >> no way in a million years. >> bill: why he is trying to clear his name 50 years later in an exclusive interview on fox next.
