7:00 am
newsom came up with the care court idea that they're trying to implement. i don't think it will be fully successful. we'll see. i do think he is trying. but so far there have not been significant results in oceanside alone the latest count was 588 homeless people just in oceanside. >> bill: a massive job. rick, thanks for sharing your concern and your ideas. i encourage viewers to check out your column in "newsweek." rick campbell, oceanside, california. >> thank you for having me. >> dana: the u.s. supreme court releasing more opinions this hour. 24 decisions still to be handed down with several major cases still pending including high profile cases on religious liberty. affirmative action, free speech rights as well as president biden's student loan forgiveness program that could cost taxpayers $4 hundred billion and we could find out any moment how the court has ruled on this. we'll have two people who took
7:01 am
out student loans. one who supports the biden plan and one very much against joining us later this hour. but first. >> oh my god. >> dana: severe weather everywhere. this is a rare outbreak in june underway across the southeast putting millions of americans in danger. western oklahoma and kansas across the south and into the florida panhandle. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," we'll get you all of that news. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. blistering wind, massive hail stones, heavy rain and dangerous tornadoes cutting a path across 12 different states. >> it's going to roar! >> dana: this tornado yesterday raging across southern georgia damaging several homes. nearly 20 million people facing weather threats today as a new round of storms will begin
7:02 am
firing up early this afternoon. nicole valdez is reporting for fox weather. you are live in alabama. how does it look this morning? >> dana and bill from alabama, a town of just over 12,000 people. what a scary day it was here as so many severe storms moved through the south and the southeast. you will notice behind me not only a mess of tree limbs as strong winds tore entire trees apart and power lines including but you'll notice what looks to be a warehouse or business with its roof nearly torn off. police still blocking the road to enter that area recognizing that the threat is still here as more storms continue to move into the area. relentless rain all morning long. this region can't breathe easy just yet. the threat is absolutely not over but there is already a handful of consequences as a result from yesterday's storms. more than 50,000 customers
7:03 am
across the state of alabama are without power this morning. however, the consensus here is that this could have been a lot worse. no reports of any injuries or deaths, which is always good news. but we are still feeling some stronger wind gusts and still hearing thunder roar. the concern is that we could see more storms, only add insult to injury in a town like this still trying to pick up the pieces here. it could be another busy day after that summer severe outbreak. >> dana: thank you for keeping everybody informed. we'll keep in touch. >> bill: the f.b.i. arresting six suspects for allegedly stealing and selling body parts. among those charged in the trafficking scheme the former morgue manager at harvard medical school. what a story. nate foye with more. >> unbelievable that something like this can happen. over a period of four years a
7:04 am
network of people across multiple states bought and sold stolen human body parts that were donated to harvard medical school. supposed to be for research. not a small amount of money, either. the man you're about to see accused of exchanging more than $1 hundred thousand in online payments for human body parts. federal prosecutors say jeremy pauly of pennsylvania resold human remains for profit and accused of ordering human skin to turn it into leather. the woman he is accused of ordering that skin from appeared in boston federal court yesterday. katrina from salem, massachusetts runs a store called cats creepy creations. she is accused of visiting the morgue at harvard medical school to select to body parts she wanted. >> court documents say she went to the morgue to look at some of these. >> no comment on that. >> she has never been if trouble
7:05 am
before. this was distress stole and wants to be home with her family. >> the morgue manager is accused of stealing body parts and bringing them to his home in new hampshire where his wife would sell the remains according to prosecutors. a statement from harvard saying we are appalled to learn something so disturbing could happen on our campus. the reported incidents are a betrayal of harvard medical school and most importantly each of the individuals who chose to will their bodies to advance medical education and research. the u.s. attorney's office is still working to identify victims and contact as many of those families as possible. >> bill: what a sick story this is. >> dana: have you ever covered a story like that? hopefully you don't have to again. that's important to know. handful of house republicans filing articles of impeachment targeting everyone from dhs secretary mayokas to president biden. is this going to work?
7:06 am
aishah hosni has more from capitol hill. >> good morning, dana. the word impeachment being tossed around quite a bit around the halls of capitol hill as of late. it really hasn't landed on one particular person just yet. stay tuned. we do know the most obvious candidate for impeachment right now is dhs secretary mayokas. his name has come up quite a bit in the last couple weeks. several house republicans have filed articles of impeachment against him. homeland security republicans just launched an official investigation through their committee. the results of think they will send to the judiciary committee to make a final decision. representative boebert has filed impeachment articles against president biden in order to pressure leadership to take action on mayokas and the border. representative ogles accused the
7:07 am
president of using the office to shield his family's activities. so kind of targeting biden and his family there. representative marjorie taylor green is also weighing in and she thinks they should go after biden and mayokas but also f.b.i. director christopher wray and attorney general merrick garland. she thinks they should also be impeached. democrats say republicans just have impeachment fever. >> mccarthy promised confrontation and obstruction politics, grinding our government to a halt. that's the definition of republican leadership in the congress. unfortunately i don't think that serves the nation. >> senate republicans are watching all this talk happening in the house and some republicans are open to this idea of impeaching mayokas. senator lindsey graham cautioned against impeaching biden. >> this idea of impeaching
7:08 am
president biden, i'd be very cautious about that. the country is -- there are not the votes in the senate to remove president biden unless something new happens. >> if there is an impeachment of mayokas. it seems like all signs are pointing to that happening, it wouldn't happen until the august recess. we know that the house oversight committee or at least those folks on homeland security want to have a couple more hearings before they send over their results to judiciary. >> dana: aishah hosni. thank you. >> bill: we'll see whether or not it comes back. >> dana: lindsey graham has a great point. if you are going the take up all that time to do that and doesn't pass in the senate you missed an opportunity to talk about how you could turn around inflation and the economy, which is what we have seen all voters care about the most. >> bill: bret is coming up in a few minutes. waiting on the supremes.
7:09 am
>> we believe intense competition requires intense diplomacy and what you see from the state department. it is in our interest to figure out a way to work together and this is what you are seeing. >> bill: the white house sets the stage for high-level talks with beijing. blinken visits this weekend, days after his chinese leadership said that the u.s. should stop meddling in china's affairs. so how is this meeting going to go? a live update coming up. >> dana: new technology on the battlefield in ukraine and how they're fighting the russians and what would happen if they lose support from the west. >> bill: tracking a space rock. a giant asteroid twice the size of michigan stadium, the big house swinging by earth today. how close will it come, huh? we'll queue the space music and let you know soon. ♪
7:15 am
watch. like a hollywood movie. there is an asteroid the size of the brooklyn bridge about the pass near earth, we say. expected to come within 2 1/2 million miles of our planet hours from now. nasa labels this giant rock as a quote, potentially hazardous object, which seemed to get our attention. hopefully not for good reason, right? more information. >> dana: an under at the same time. antony blinken set to visit china this weekend. the minister demanded the u.s. stop interfering in its affairs.
7:16 am
first let's go to gillian turner live at the white house. hi, gillian. >> well, if secretary of state blinken gets to china this time after his last trip was canceled he will be the highest ranking official from this administration to travel to that country. this trip comes at a moment of extraordinary tension between washington and beijing. >> look at what the chinese communist party did in the last couple of years. unleashed this virus on the world, including us and our economy. crushed the people of hong kong which used to be a state of liberty. economic warfare against our allies like south korea and australia. >> he had a phone call yesterday with his chinese counterpart. it claims it was openly hostile and told blinken to stop interfering in china's affairs. asked at the podium karine jean-pierre says they are not
7:17 am
getting into it. >> you've heard the president say it's important to have that diplomacy with world leaders. it is important to have that discussion. so we believe intense competition requires intense diplomacy and that's what you are seeing from the state department. >> republican lawmakers ahead of blinken's trip are repeating their clarion call for biden to get tough on china. >> already violated our sovereignty with the spy balloon and now we've got this flip-flopping on a spy base right on the southern coast of florida. so in havana, what more do they have to do for us to say enough is enough? >> this trip also comes in the immediate after math of revelations earlier in the week from the "wall street journal" that china has been operating a spy base inside cuba or at the least has been trying to operate a spy base inside cuba for years now. >> dana: we have all that info.
7:18 am
thank you. >> bill: hello, president of the eurasia group. the chinese foreign minister said the relationship between china and u.s. has had difficulties since the beginning of the year. it is clear where the responsibility lies. how will this go sew >> from the chinese perspective, when the americans put export controls on semi conductors it was a declaration of economic war. the united states wants to dominate semi conductors, artificial intelligence. all of its allies and the chinese are way behind. unhappy about that and don't have great ways to respond. chinese, of course, over the last couple of weeks we've seen them militarily taking pot shots at the americans in the taiwan straits and south china sea that are fully legal for the americans to transit through but the chinese are declaring it's not okay. for the chinese to say they have no responsibility here is a little too cute. >> dana: yesterday we had
7:19 am
michael shellenberger on breaking the story the three -- people that got covid first all worked at the lab. is antony blinken to bring this up? >> i doubt that. >> dana: why? >> it wouldn't surprise me if it's a talking point. it won't go anywhere. if you ask me what's the purpose. pompeo probably would. i think that the big issues that are being discussed here, of course, taiwan, of course the trade relationship. russia and ukraine and the fact that we are in now the teeth of the counter offensive and what happens after that? can the chinese potentially be constructive and be on the russian side and provide them arms. that's a question. the fact that nobody wants an actual cold war between these two countries. nobody wants a decoupling of the
7:20 am
countries. xi might come to the apex summit in the fall and that will be a meaningful engagement. >> bill: it seems like this relationship has gone from 0 to 100 in terms of worse. and intensity on all the issues. the world is clearly -- >> one thing i want to say i agree the u.s. and allies are aligned on china than 6 or 12 months ago. today u.s./china trade relations at the highest level in history despite all that. when musk and die mon and all the rest go to china they're americans, too. we just need to keep that in mind. >> bill: there was a ted talk how technology is changing warfare. this week we shared with our viewers of a russian soldier in a trench in bakhmut, southeastern ukraine apparently signaling to a drone operator to spare his life. we believe they did.
7:21 am
there was some sort of communication back and forth and a letter that was dropped out of the sky. >> dana: he even writes to them he is begging. it is really something to see. >> that, of course, is showing how military -- the military is using advance technologies. ukrainians would not be able to defend despite their extraordinary courage if it wasn't for the most advanced weapons being provided by the united states and nato. the other point that i was making is that technology companies are becoming active belligerence in this war. i don't think zelensky is still in power today if it wasn't for spacex and elon musk providing the communication devices to allow the commanders to talk to front line soldiers and microsoft defending the ukraine government in terms of cybersecurity. i don't think zelensky would still be there. those art signatories to nato or treaty. nobody votes for those ceos and
7:22 am
leaders. a small number of very powerful people. the fact that is true and we support that in ukraine, but maybe we won't in other places is something the world really has to wrestle with in very short order. >> dana: you did a ted talk available now? >> it dropped a few hours ago. >> dana: congratulations on that. a group of bipartisan senators writing a letter to detain evan gershkovitch and the pes acknowledge they're sending. a dozen house republicans declining to censure adam schiff. what that's says about the republican caucus. ♪

7:28 am
concern over the detention of "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch in russia. they sent a letter to him spending every day he spends in russia is a day too long. the latest on efforts to bring him home. >> good morning to you. this was a bipartisan group of 32 different u.s. senators who sent the letter to gershkovitch expressing their anger about his detention and essentially telling him they have his back and working to bring him home. in that letter those senators write to him calling for gershkovitch's unconditional and immediate release from russian custody and accuse the russian government of using him as a political tool. he was arrested in accusations of spying making him the first u.s. journalist arrested on espionage charges in russia in decades. they have oaf denied allegations against him saying he never worked for the u.s. government and both have demanded his
7:29 am
release. last month a russian court extended his detention for another three months at least. in the letter the senators tell gershkovitch they support him and the work he was doing prior to his arrest writing in part, quote, we believe that a free press is crucial to the foundation and support of human rights everywhere. we applaud you for your efforts to report the truth about russia's reprehensible invasion of ukraine, a conflict that has resulted in atrocities, tragedies and loss of life. the bipartisan letter tells gershkovitch that every single day he is in custody is simply a day too long. they tell him they will continue to work for his release privately and in public until he is finally back home here in the united states. but great to see a little bipartisanship for once on something so serious. we all hope he comes home soon. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: thank you, bill. >> this is about as clear evidence you could find of
7:30 am
intent by the campaign to collude with the russians. russians offered help, the campaign accepted help. the russians gave help and the president made full use of that help. there is amp will evidence of collusion. >> dana: adam schiff dodged a bullet. the house voted down a resolution to cran sure and condemn him for deceiving the public. lawmakers voting to set the resolution aside including 20 republicans who oppose the measure. let's bring in bret baier. bret, why would republicans join that? >> i think some of them worried about setting precedent. a recommendation of a $60 million fine. there is not a doubt that schiff went down the road over his skis on russia collusion and said he had evidence where he didn't.
7:31 am
the durham report laid out a compelling argument. the republicans who voted against it i think didn't want to set the precedent of going after individual lawmakers like that. >> bill: reaction to this. first schiff's response to this to fox, watch. >> it's a badge of honor when you take on the maga crowd. they clearly think i'm effective in holding the former presidents accountable. it is a terrible misuse of house resources. this is their effort to try to intimidate people that stand up to donald trump and to ratify the former president. >> bill: 242 cable appearances on russia. thomas massey, who is about as far from adam schiff politically as you can get out of kentucky said if a simple majority of the house can lay claim to $60 million. if democrats get the majority back. i am glad they're trying to go
7:32 am
again and take out the money. back to the point from schiff. a badge of honor for me to take on the maga crowd. if donald trump is the nominee, that's all democrats are going to say for the next 16 months. >> that's true. they are hoping, i think, in a lot of democratic circles he is the nominee, including the white house, clearly giving its messaging again to go after the former president. on the schiff resolution, massey hits the 20 republican sentiment. you go after this one, it's tit-for-tat if they get control. let's handle it in the ballot box. schiff is up for senate in california and plays in that state. >> dana: it will help him raise money or get attention. the growing republican field. the mayor of miami getting in today. show you the big board here over here. ronna mcdaniel was on earlier.
7:33 am
the chairwoman of the rnc and had this to say about the growing field. >> i think we have such a great field from mayors to governors to former presidents, former vice presidents. the main thing is what are we talking about? republicans are getting on the debate stage and contrast what we put forward as our vision for america, a much brighter future for many americans than what they're seeing now. >> dana: suarez gets in today. do you think there are others? >> i think we're getting to the end. you start getting into a pretty crowded debate stage. you have to qualify for that debate based on the rnc guidelines for the august debate in milwaukee. but i think we'll get towards the end. there may be a late add. there are always rumors that glenn youngkin from virginia after he runs the senate race in the state house may decide to
7:34 am
get in. but, you know, you look at that list and that board. that's a lot of folks. and there are more and more people who say the more people who are in and stay in longer, the better the former president has a chance to win the nomination. >> dana: you get to ask him on monday. >> that's right. i have an interview monday at bedminster airing monday and tuesday on special report. >> bill: do you need me to text you some questions? you got this? >> bring them. >> dana: i think he's got it. >> i'll take them. >> bill: thank you, bret. see you then. so tom hanks turning down an all-time classic is today's hemmer celebrity news. did you know the oscar winner's wife rita wilson, an actress herself revealed hanks passed on a starring role in "when harry met sally." he was going through a divorce at the time and couldn't relate to the carry of harry. it went to billy crystal and the rest is history.

>> dana: extreme heat threatening the south. the highs right now. check this out. millions of people across texas are under a weather watch because of the stifling heat. officials are warning people to take precautions. it could feel as hot as 120 degrees. drink plenty of water, stay inside if you can and a.c. if you can. >> bill: so we have talked a lot about america's drug crisis. it is destroying the community in portland, oregon. a horrifying scene police are facing daily getting to be too much. they're trying a new approach
7:42 am
that encourages the addicts to seek treatment. dan springer live in portland to see how it's going or will go possibly. dan, hello. >> hey, bill. the law that decriminalized drugs voter approved took effect almost 2 1/2 years ago. since then drug overdose deaths have hit record highs driven by fen fentanyl. 15 minutes we saw five people in different groups doing drugs in the open. a month ago portland police and bike squad stepped up the number of tickets written for drug possession. 316 in may compared to a monthly average of 14 before that. yesterday we rode along to see the efforts. tickets are designed to be a gateway to treatment because they will be waived if the person proves they called a helpline for a health assessment. the call is supposed to link the drug abuser to services
7:43 am
including treatment. the problem is, only 32 people have called the health line in portland. only six completed the health assessment and ten people paid the $1 hundred ticket. very few people are getting into treatment. the bike patrol is catching other criminals. car thieves, drug dealers and more. most driven by fentanyl. >> we are making warrant arrests and clearing more warrant and finding wanted people. if they end up getting treatment it is up to them. >> portland police confiscated 1.5 million fentanyl pills last year, triple the previous year and swept an abandoned office building and turned into a drug den. camping is now illegal throughout the stechlt at this point this decriminalization law has been nothing but a disaster
7:44 am
for portland and the state of oregon. >> bill: tough to hear. back to the drawing board. >> dana: beautiful day there, too. awaiting the supreme court's ruling on biden's student loan bail-out. the controversial bill would forgive borrowers of up to $20,000 in loans. we're joined by two borrowers. riva, who supports loan forgiveness and michelle who is against the idea. great to have you. people have strong feelings. michelle, why are you against the loan forgiveness? >> i'm someone who would personally financially benefit from something like this. as an american i don't believe they should be given handouts. it estimated it will take me ten years and it is my responsibility. >> dana: the average student loan debt by age 24 and younger,
7:45 am
$13,000 on the screen up to 50 to 61 years old $42 thousand and 62 and older 49,000. riva, you have the other point of view. tell us why. >> there is about 44 million borrowers out there that are awaiting this decision as well as the rest of america. i am hoping not only personally but for two of my children as well, that we get some relief. and the reason for that being is that even though we are educated people. that's why we have student loans, we also are folks that are in a different economy right now. inflation has caused us to be in a situation where paying back a loan three years ago, four years ago like i was doing is a more difficult. a lot more difficult for me these days especially since i've retired. as a result of that, i have had
7:46 am
to come out of retirement and go back into the workplace, back into the school. i'm a retired public educator that is back in the classroom in order to prepare to pay off these loans. and again, the economy is not something we can control. but any and all hope is with me because if i can be allowed to have more freedom to use my discretionary income and put it back into the economy instead of a student loan program that's my vote. >> dana: let me ask you one other question. imagine you are somebody who didn't go to college but you took out a loan for, let's say, a backhoe and it was a $50,000 or $1 hundred thousand and nobody is considering giving them loan forgiveness. how do you respond to people who think it is unfair. your reaction. >> it is something that i think that we don't need to hyper focus on.
7:47 am
it is almost like me having cancer and saying to somebody who has paid off their bills that is in remission. it is not something that i think that is appropriate at this point to go down to that minute of a level and look at it more as how can this loan forgiveness or any help that we can get especially as public servants and have been for i'm 63, and so i've been in that role for many, many years giving back to my country through our children and i just think that again you are looking at some big numbers. there is not 44 million people out there behind backhoes. >> dana: michelle, you are in kansas city. what do you hear from people in your area about this whole thing? it's high stakes. when the supreme court comes down. you had speaker pelosi say to the press that president biden didn't have this authority and yet this promise has been made that might not be upheld.
7:48 am
>> well, it is an overreach by the biden administration to even go about the idea of helping people pay back their student loans. i like en it to going into a restaurant. you go in, you look at the menu, you choose your food, you eat your food, you pay your bill. you don't expect bob sitting affects to you with his family of six to pick up your check. it is simply not fair and it is not how things are done in america. it is your responsibility. you know in advance you are taking, you are spending lots of time with paperwork to acknowledge you will be paying back this loan. it is your responsibility. it is not somebody else's problem. >> dana: one of the best things we can do for everybody is get inflation down and see if we can figure out a way to get more people better paying jobs. we thank you both. we won't get the decision today.

my physician referred me to a hand specialist. and i'm glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. the first hand specialist i saw only offered surgery. so, i went to a second hand specialist who also offered nonsurgical options - which felt more right for me. so, what i'd say to other people with dupuytren's contracture is this: don't wait —find a hand specialist trained in nonsurgical options, today. i found mine at findahandspecialist.com. ah, these bills are crazy. she has no idea she's sitting on a goldmine. well she doesn't know that if she owns a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. even a term policy. even a term policy? even a term policy! find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your screen, or visit coventrydirect.com. i struggled with cpap every night.

7:56 am
the pga tour, only to see the pga tour turn around and take all the money that they told you you shouldn't take from the liv tour, i would be furious if i had stayed loyal to the pga tour. i don't begrudge the guys who made the decision to go to liv. now they made all their money and getting to march -- have their money and eat cake, too. a great combo for them. the pga guys who remained loyal do deserve some form of compensation. >> bill: even people who make their living off golf have no idea what the future of golf looks like. it is extraordinary, all right? so is this, too, guys, call for one. dustin johnson per liv event made almost $3 million. pgat, $250,000.
