breaks and then you come to a compromise. 100%, i'm leaning back and sleeping. >> harris, you are probably leaning? >> i'm leaning towards charles, my goodness. i don't know what to say. yeah, i lean. >> i lean, too. >> my husband is 6'5", i'm with charles. >> lean all day and all night with the cold beer we talked about. don't forget to dvr the show. >> you are going to struggle? or you are going to get scooped up by the gangs, or you are going to get swallowed by the streets. >> parents are sending their kids to school saying i want you to be safe. so education is no longer the priority. >> i'm picking up my son and the other side of the building a shooting and a child was killed. a stabbing inside of the school. an assault, because they left the door open. >> a school to prison pipeline, parents in baltimore are
10:01 am
referring to the crime crisis now made it to the front steps of public schools. families afraid to send their children to class. shootings and homicides have surged, 19 students losing their lives over the past year. >> we will hear from a parent you heard, says a failure to education system in the country and lack of accountability have allowed kids to be more and more violent. >> i heard him saying i need eight, within six months, i would not vote for him because he said eight years. i say six months. >> leadership is not entertainment, not virtual signalling, not brand building, leadership is about producing results for the people that you represent. >> john: friday afternoon with
10:02 am
the race for the white house, 2024 republican candidates taking shots at one another and at the democratic party. accusing it of rigging the primary process for president biden. hello, john roberts in washington. welcome back, sandra. >> sandra: good to be with you, john. a busy afternoon ahead, florida governor ron desantis stumping in south carolina after a visit to new hampshire and iowa. meanwhile, former president trump wrapped his two-day tour of iowa, ending with a town hall with sean hannity last night. >> john: both candidates trading insults over the direction of the party, karl rove joins us in a moment on how democrats are duking it out. >> sandra: rich, in pella, iowa, a couple more candidates are heading that way right now. >> busy, sandra, two candidates in iowa, several more over the
10:03 am
next 24 hours. governor asa hutchinson is at an energy cooperative, and you've got governor desantis, he's returning to iowa tomorrow. right now he's in south carolina. this morning he responded there to trump promising to right the country in the first six months, you played the beginning of the conversation and what would be a second nonconsecutive term in the white house. >> don't let anyone tell you they can do this in 24 hours or in six months or anything like that. this is going to be trench warfare. >> so the back and forth continues. trump wrapped his iowa trip last night with a town hall on hannity. he touted his three supreme court nominees and selections that eventually voted to overturn roe v. wade, republicans debate whether and how much to restrict abortion.
10:04 am
>> i got rid of roe v. wade and by doing that -- by doing that [cheering] it put pro lifers in a very strong negotiating position. now they are negotiating different things and i happen to be of the ronald reagan school in terms of exemptions where you have the life of the mother, rape, and incest. >> republicans have been debating over the extent of whether to go back to the state, whether it should be a federal law, you've got asa hutchinson would sign a 15 week ban with exceptions if the congress were to pass that. about to have a conversation here on energy here in pella, iowa, and will join several other republicans like nikki haley, mike pence, and others, for joni ernst's roast and ride at the fairgrounds tomorrow. >> john: the decision to modify
10:05 am
the democrats nominating calendar could come back to haunt president biden. he called on the dnc to make south carolina first in the primary process but a state law requires new hampshire to hold its contest before anyone else and a deadline to change that could come and go tomorrow without the matter being settled. meaning the president biden might not appear on the ballot in the granite state. karl rove is a former deputy white house chief of staff and fox news contributor. if he does not appear on the ballot, i can imagine that granite staters may express their displeasure by voting for somebody else. >> they might, and that would be problematic. even more problematic, a lot of new hampshire, relatively close in some of the recent elections and if you have disgruntled democrats and independents who think that joe biden is taking a direct shot at their state and first in the nation primary status, that could come back to
10:06 am
haunt them in the general election and cost him the state's four electoral votes. >> so it looks, karl, as though joe biden will not do a whole lot on the campaign trail, at least not immediately. peter doocy asked him about it yesterday, he kind of laughed that off. but robert kennedy, junior, is making a big deal out of the fact that the dnc is not planning to have any debates with the democratic candidates, including rfk, jr. and williamson. and he said he thinks it would harm biden to not have some practice on the debating stage before he meets the eventual republican candidate. >> asking president biden to prepare for that debate by, you know, staying in the white house and not really being out on the campaign trail is like asking a prize fighter to prepare for the big bout sitting on the couch and eating chick-fil-a.
10:07 am
>> john: i can attest chick-fil-a will fix a lot of things but i don't know if it will prepare you for a debate. >> no, it can't. and look, we expect this. let's be honest. robert kennedy, jr., and williamson are not the nominees of the democratic party and they can grouse about the control of the process and the abuse of the process, frankly, by the sitting president of the united states, a member of their own party but they are not going to get their way, no matter how hard they scream and shout and dance about. but step back for a minute. do the democrats have a problem? we have had two polls, they showed that a majority of the country think the president is too old to run again, and that he is seen by a majority of the american people as not being a strong leader. they have a big problem, the team biden is believing they can somehow, you know, run this thing for a year and a half and win but they have the american people already saying you are too old and who thinks he's
10:08 am
going to look younger? how many more times will he walk into a sandbag, or string together two sentences, and he's not going to look younger in a year and a half and not stronger. he's had two and a half years, and their strategy will boil down to can we erradiate. >> john: you mentioned the fall at the air force academy, biden apparently tripped over a sandbag, at least he said he did, but he fell off his bicycle, fell up the stairs going to air force one and when you are 80 years old sometimes when you fall you don't get back up.
10:09 am
i don't know how many 80-year-olds are in the hospital with a broken hip. and one said they should say if this is what they want to portray in the second term, extending all the way to january of 2029. you raised a lot of questions about biden, he's still five years out from the end of a second term, five and a half years from the end of a second term. and having these problems now, what can we expect 4, 5 years from now? >> oh, absolutely. he's running against a republican opponent and the mortality table as well. i talked about this in a column a couple weeks ago. he is already older than all but five presidents were at the time of their death and those presidents by and large had had an average retirement of 20 some odd plus years by the time they passed from this earth. he's 80 today, 81 by the end of
10:10 am
the year, 82 shortly after the 2024 election and before the 2025 inauguration and the idea somehow or another the country will be well served by a guy who is going to be 86 if he's able to serve all four years, john, you covered the white house, i worked there seven years, we both know how demanding it is and if he's not up to the job today, why do we think he's going to get better? >> john: i'm all for people working as long as they want to work, clint eastwood said it in a "dirty harry" movie, a man has to know his limitations. karl, you have no limitations. hope you have a great weekend. >> sandra: sky's the limit. air force is denying an artificial intelligence drone killed a human operator in a simulation but the hypothetical still raising red flags about the use of a.i. in the military. mark meredith is live in the white house. why is the story getting so much
10:11 am
attention? >> sandra, good afternoon. i guess because it seems like a scene out of one of the terminator movies. the air force is denying the story that went viral that said a simulation had occurred with a drone in which it tried to kill the operator, the person giving the instructions to it. however while they are denying this happened they are saying it could be a cause for concern. it blew up on social media after an air force colonel discussed the hypothetical of the situation at a conference overseas. the pentagon says it was only a discussion and such event has not occurred. a quote from the air force, they say they have not conducted a.i. drone simulations. there are growing concerns, from the private sector to here in washington, about where artificial intelligence is heading. yes, some obvious up sides here but even the president is trying to better understand how capable a.i. is becoming. >> i met in the oval office in
10:12 am
my office with 12 leading -- eight leading scientists in the area of a.i. some are very worried that a.i. can actually overtake human thinking and planning. so we have a lot to deal with. >> a recent fox poll found most voters expect a.i. will have a significant impact on their and our lives. 86% say it will change how we all live in the united states. but of course, this is an issue that is not just impacting the u.s., it goes beyond our borders. the british prime minister says he plans to talk about the risks associated with artificial intelligence when he sits down with president biden right here in washington next week. sandra. >> sandra: mark meredith with the sprinklers going at the white house. >> i want to run through them. it's hot enough. >> sandra: instead of a lunch,
10:13 am
take a jog through the sprinklers. >> john: the water was not shooting into his ear, just looked like that. 339,000 jobs were added, and unemployment rate 3.7% rising. total unemployed 6.1 million, which is more than the number of people who were jobless pre-pandemic. the strength of the labor market presenting a challenge for the federal reserve, may hike interest rates again to tame inflation. the sprinklers on the white house lawn, they are powerful, i've had to run through those on occasion but you know, it's 90 some degrees outside so -- >> sandra: it is warm to the point of economists expectations, a growing number of economists, despite the market and the labor market, growing number and corporate ceos predict we will enter a recession. the markets are not looking like
10:14 am
that. pop the dow up, this is the rally that's happening today. it's a friday afternoon, a couple hours left in trading. dow is up 636 points. the dow, believe it or not, did enter a bull market back in november, ok. but the s & p 500, john, i cannot show our audience on here, a gauge of the broader u.s. stock market. we are being told by our editor at fox business network the s & p 500 right now is close to exiting a bear market that it has been in for quite some time. it would be entering a new bull market, if it closed up about 70 points, it's up about 60 points right now. there are some market signals saying things are looking pretty merry out there. that's quite a rally on the dow and s & p looks like it's going to enter a new bull market. >> john: one day in a row.
10:15 am
>> sandra: i've never heard you say that, john. the markets go up, markets go down. >> john: post debt ceiling high, on monday, probably find a reason to swing. >> sandra: the long-term trend is up for the stock market, that is fact. >> john: that would be a good thing for everybody's 401(k). >> sandra: and some experts ask what the heck is going on with the economy? as costco's cfo says shoppers' habits may signal whether we are really headed for recession. our econ panel dan greenhouse is here and robert wolf will be joining us in a bit. >> john: the senate votes to repeal the paying off $400 billion in student loan debt. so, what happens now? kennedy has some thoughts on that and she is coming up straight ahead. >> there's no reason in the

>> john: tropical depression has formed in the gulf of mexico. national weather service says tropical depression number 2 took shape yesterday, the same day as the start of the 2023 hurricane season, june 1st. it's not expected to strengthen into a full tropical storm but heavy rain through parts of florida after the weekend. and after a sweltering day in the northeast, the heat is expected to stick around one more day. 10 to 20° above average, like washington d.c. and new york could set a few records.
10:21 am
it's supposed to be about 93 here today. cooldown is expected for this weekend, though. sandra. >> sandra: i'm going to join mark meredith at the white house to jump in the sprinklers. the president has promised to veto a bill to repeal the student loan debt plan, and it could be overturned by the supreme court. kennedy is here, and i've enjoyed our conversation off camera. >> if only they knew what we talk about. >> sandra: give us your take on this. should there be forgiveness of loans whatsoever, where do you stand. >> sure, then we have to forgive every loan when it's inconvenient to pay, auto loans, home loans and business loans. whether you are overwhelmed you should not have to pay things. that's not how things work. when you sign on the dotted line, when you are 18 you are an adult and unfortunately if you make a decision to go to a school way above your pay grade
10:22 am
and you borrow money against your education, you have to pay that back. guess who goes to fancy schools, fancy people who get degrees where they will make more money than people who never went to college. guess who never went to college, most of the country. 60% of the population, 60% plus do not hold a four-year degree. why should working stiffs who did the right thing, made business choices, who decided to forego college, why should they be on the hook for other people's decisions and what you are seeing here, that is starting to resonate with moderate democrats and their constituencies and their constituents are telling them they don't want to be on the hook, this is, you know, a massive, massive taxation for people who never went to college, $400 billion. you cannot create an entitlement program out of thin air for executive order. >> sandra: you know who seemed to agree with you, one of your favorite people, nancy pelosi.
10:23 am
rewind to 2011, she said, oh, sorry, not 2011, this was last year. two years ago, 2021, saying the president could not and should not forgive student loans, listen. >> people think that the president of the united states has the power for debt forgiveness. he does not. he can postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. that has to be an act of congress. >> sandra: what sort of political support does the president have to continue to push for this and move in this direction? >> they see this is crumbling. you've seen john tester, joe manchin and sinema vote with republicans, and democrats wish they could vote the same way. they know people in their districts and states, they don't want to be on the hook for a $400 billion grift and that's what this is. if you are going to forgive
10:24 am
student debt it has to go through congress. has to be debates and amendments and cannot be something that happens through executive. >> sandra: missouri gop senator schmitz, calling biden student loan plan socialism and illegal. >> pure unadullterated socialish, there's no legal authority for the president to be able to do this. >> sandra: that is a growing question. what's the supreme court going to go about this? >> the supreme court will rule against the president. this is right. you cannot create a program like this with essentially no oversight on a whim and if you are doing it to score political points and hurting so many families and the voters and the economy at the same time, has to be a check on that. and that's why we have three branches of government.
10:25 am
he's right, it is socialism. any time you see something bernie sanders and aoc would love, run the other way. >> sandra: elizabeth warren, you remember that moment when the dad confronted her in iowa, and said what about me. i worked so hard, i paid off my daughter's student loans, you know, i worked hard to do it. what are you going to do for me? i think people have to remember that moment, think about that moment. if that dad is out there, call us. we have tried to find him. >> yes, wouldn't you love to have a conversation with the guy whose kid went to a public university and not a fancy pants b private school and still worked his tail off to pay for the whole thing. what does he get, absolutely nothing. >> sandra: we have to remember that. kennedy, thank you very much. good to see you. >> john: always good to spend time with kennedy. military bases in alaska are stepping up security after incidents of suspected chinese spies tried to infiltrate them. wait until you hear who they are

trying to infiltrate bases in alaska. dan hoffman how serious the threat is, but first, chief national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon with us. this is not the first time chinese spies have disguised as tourists. is this more and more of a concern? >> sandra, two high profile cases in florida in 2019. a chinese business woman caught at mar-a-lago with a purse full of electronics and a chinese student taking photos inside a naval base in key largo, and now chinese citizens suspected of being spies have attempted to penetrate u.s. military bases in alaska in recent months. the incidents have increased in the last several years, we are told, alaska, of course, is home to some of the country's most sensitive military bases, more fifth generation fighter jets
10:32 am
are based in alaska than anywhere else in the world and home to america's most sophisticated ground base radar and ballistic missile early warning systems. u.s. troops have encountered chinese visiting as tourists, and a vehicle carrying several chinese citizens blew past a security checkpoint at fort wainwright in fairbanks, alaska, that according to multiple congressional sources after eventually stopping the vehicle a drone was found inside. senator dan sullivan of alaska stressed the importance his home state plays in defending the u.s. mainland and expressed alarm about what he is seeing. >> any spy balloon, russian bombers or the new reporting of suspected chinese spies in alaska, another wake-up call that we are in a new era of
10:33 am
authoritarian aggression led by the dictators in china and russia. >> after the chinese spy balloon incident which started over alaska, senator lisa murkowski spoke on capitol hill. >> as an alaskan, i am so angry. alaska is the first line of defense for america, right? if you are gonna have russia coming at you, if you are going to have china coming at you, we know exactly how they come. they come up and they go over alaska. >> the fbi director, christopher wray, says the fbi opens a new chinese government espionage case in the u.s. every 12 hours. sandra. >> sandra: jen griffin on that at the pentagon. thank you. >> john: how real is the threat? bring in dan hoffman, former cia station chief and fox news
10:34 am
contributor. so a car full of chinese nationals say we are tourists but they have a drone in the car as they blow past security at fort wainwright. clearly it's something we have to be concerned about. >> it is. alaska is really on the front lines of defense against not just russia and china but north korea as well. radar is there to detect nuclear strikes that might be headed our way and the arctic warming and the competition over resources there, alaska is a major target for foreign intelligence, that's china and russia. and so the chinese are sending their spies, disguised as tourist, their cover for action, it's flimsy, we understand that. the concern is not the photographs, they might leave something behind, sensors to detect what people are talking about or take photos or other things they might want to do. >> john: or distracting people on the ground while a spy balloon flies overhead, i guess. then the trick is, how do you
10:35 am
identify chinese spies without targeting every chinese tourist who comes to the united states? >> this is part of it. in other words, exposing what china is doing, what the fbi has done to rely on our own citizens. if you see something, say something. raise the level of awareness, second, extend out the security perimeters at the facilities and add additional training and awareness. those stationed at the three military bases have to understand that they are targets and the chinese will seek to engineer targets through social media with them, we all know about the chinese cyber hacking. the volt typhoon through microsoft, targeting the infrastructure, they are going to do that as well. the chinese have flooded the zone over years and that's why as director wray said we open a counter intelligence investigation every 12 hours against them. >> john: one of the big challenges for the u.s. military is how to counter china's growing aggression, belligerent,

if you will. lloyd austin in singapore, addressed the summit, i'm deeply concerned the people's republic of china -- austin did shake hands with his chinese counterpart, the defense minister but the defensive minister does not want to have a conversation, they don't want to talk to us. >> the chinese like to reserve personal meetings with friends like vladimir putin, and the united states has stepped up engagement with allies in asia, particularly the philippines, four new military bases and japan, and the chinese are trying to say we don't get what we want, some discussion at a high level about the threats that both of our countries face.
10:37 am
>> john: austin also told the summit make no mistake, conflict in the taiwan strait would be devastating, and the united states does not seek a new cold war. but the chinese -- you've said petulant child, they are aggrieved every moment here. >> i wish we would remove the scales from our eyes. we are in a cold war, we are not in a shooting war with china, but they are conducting massive espionage against us, taiwan is on the geopolitical dictatorship, it's a 21st century of the cold war, you can have guardrails in the relationship but we need to call it what it is. china is out to get us in a myriad of ways. >> john: you know a lot about cold wars. you call it a cold war, i guess it's a cold war. dan, good to see you. p>> sandra: thank you, john. is california cancelling cancel culture? golden state may have a change

this is according to authorities, just now coming across the a.p. obviously we are going to dig further on any information from this. we don't have any pictures yet, we are efforting them, but fox news alert that people are trapped reportedly under a building that was under construction, it has partially collapsed, year yale university, new haven, connecticut, about all we know at this point. as we get more information on this developing situation we will bring that to you. john. >> john: hopefully some pictures soon and hopefully the people will be ok. the far left has made calls to defund the police and divert the money to social services like programs dealing with mental health. meanwhile, violent crime is soaring across the country but now the sheriff's department in cook county, illinois has come up with a safe way to get professional help for people in crisis while at the same time maintaining the ability to fight crime. mike tobin is live in chicago. is this in response to you will a the criticism or pressure put

>> john: update what's happening
10:50 am
in -- near yale, apparently a building collapsed under construction. six injured, two critically, no fatalities at this point which is good news. it's believed that the six people injured are likely construction workers. we'll keep you updated as we get more information about that, sandra. >> sandra: we will indeed. many deal with significant trials and tribulations, a few use pain to inspire and help others succeed. rihan staton was a sanitation worker and made headlines getting into harvard law school, now he has his law degree and he's on a mission to help the community who helped him along the way. welcome to you, sir. what does it feel like to have your law degree now? >> it feels great, so happy i was able to make my dad proud and my brother, feel like a million bucks. >> tell us about your journey to
10:51 am
get here. >> it was really tough. grew up with a single father, had my older brother with me and times we had food insecurity, housing insecurity, and simply -- i eventually found my way through the help of others. i worked with a sanitation company and they helped get me into school and i ended up taking it from there. >> sandra: amazing story and what is even more amazing mow, you are using your own experience to try to inspire others. why is that so important to you? >> i just think all jobs -- jobs matter. blue collar jobs matter, service workers just make, whether it's america or individual communities a better place to be, and for those who go above and beyond, deserve to be honored and seen and valued. >> amazing story, and the picture of your father is on the screen and also you doing the hard work that you are describing. why do you feel some people in the country are not willing to work hard right now?
10:52 am
we obviously have seen a trend of people who are not willing to put in the blood, sweat and tears like you have. >> well, i'm not really sure how to speak to that, but what i can say is when i had the support necessary to make the necessary adjustments, my life changed forever. and so i believe once we see the value in the people around us and they need assistance and support we put into them, i think we will see people's full potential maximized. >> sandra: what is really important, you had people around you that supported you along the way. obviously we are seeing those who supported you hugging you as you got your diploma on stage, your family is the pillar of strength. you do describe the struggle you had when you were growing up. how did that play a part in you getting here? >> again, i think seeing my dad just put his best foot forward
10:53 am
every single day to make sure he could provide for my brother and i and seeing him give to his community even when he was struggling, i think that forever impacted me to make sure i try my best every day and be kind and see the people around me. >> sandra: why do you think that anybody should think they can't get into harvard or any school they desire to get into if they have bad grades. it obviously was something a big part of your story as well. does it not take a 5.0 average? >> in high school i was struggling, the university i got 4.0, and graduated speaker of the class, and that was because of the people around me, students, support staff, counselors, professors, once you find that community and that community invest in you, your life can change forever and
10:54 am
maximize your potential. >> sandra: amazing story and even better, in harvard, you were walking through the hallways and decided to say hello to a custodial worker. she was surprised you said hello. what happened then? >> again, from there i just thought you know, i should take the extra effort to make sure all the support staff at harvard and anywhere feels seen and supported and that's because the way my dad raised me. i created the reciprocity effect, non-profit, increases quality of life to support staff and it's important we realize support staff workers and service workers are valued and seen. >> sandra: and i know part of that story, how unappreciated they felt at the school, you bought 100 gift cards, thank you cards, and handed them to the janitors and support staff at the school.
10:55 am
>> it was gratitude and thanks. i told people it was not charity, they go above and beyond for me and all the other students at harvard law school every day and to me it was about reciprocity. >> sandra: i know you have started the reciprocity effect, you have raised lots of money, just had an award ceremony honoring 30 workers with various awards and you are trying to inspire others and that's a story we like to tell. thanks so much for joining us here, rehan, our best to you. keep doing good things. >> thank you. >> john: what a great guy and what a great story. new at 2:00, we are expecting a white house briefing after the senate passes the debt deal and sends it to president biden's desk. we will bring it to you live. and is ron desantis's electability a myth? that's what one trump pollster is claiming. dan greenhaus, robert wolf, and
