industry. i am not tipping self-checkouts, absolutely not. >> and i said how do you leave -- cameras watch you, they watch what you grab. it's very weird. >> it's so creepy. >> very creepy. thanks to everyone. don't forget to dvr the show, here is "america reports." >> stop calling the police. stop calling the police for every incident. >> i demand equality now. today -- every man that is responsible for action, lose their job, and justice be done. >> john: the scene back in 2018 when a starbucks in philadelphia had two black men arrested for

refusing to leave the coffee shop. the regional director who was overseeing that store says she was fired in the aftermath just because she was white. and a jury agreed with her. awarding her more than $25 million for the ordeal. i'm john roberts in washington, that's the way we start off a friday eve. >> sandra: a big development. great to be with you, john. this is "america reports." shannon phillips oversaw several areas for starbucks, including philadelphia at the time of that 2018 incident. the two men were handcuffed and escorted out of that store after they declined to leave because they were waiting on a business associate. >> phillips was not at the store at the time but claims starbucks used her as a scapegoat to prove it was taking action in response to the controversy. >> the company says phillips was fired because she demonstrated an absence of leadership during the crisis. a new jersey jury sided with phillips, awarding her $25 million in punitive damages

and $600,000 in compensatory damages. >> john: leo terrell, fox news contributor and civil rights attorney. $25.6 million, that is making a statement on the part of this jury, leo. >> and thank you very much for having me, john. i've been a civil rights attorney for 30 years. very much aware of this type of case law and i'll tell you right now, the jury made a decision starbucks was wrong because this woman, because of her skin color, was used as a scapegoat for this woke company, starbucks. it is embarrassing, and i'll tell you right now embarrassing about this, john, the manager at the actual store was black. he testified and he did not lose his job but she lost her job and the jury saw that as a pretext. >> john: it is interesting that they would blame the regional manager and they said that she was sort of awol in the aftermath of all of this, as opposed to blaming somebody who actually made the call to 911. the two individuals who were

involved here were sean nelson and daunte robinson, reached a separate confidential agreement and settlement with starbucks. so what does this mean going forward? we saw the response to that, we saw people out in the streets who were complaining about this, now this woman, according to the jury, rightly claimed she was being scapegoated because of her race. >> and this is the game of identity politics. look, something went wrong at this particular store and it was the classic, john, situation, a black victim. so you've got the race card hustler. opening segment, the video, always assuming that there is systemic racism. no, there is not systemic racism, an isolated situation where two people were treated unfairly and the message is clear. you can play the race card but hope flip the hall of justice is going to neutralize that race card and this woman has been exonerated. i'll tell you right now, it's really shameful that race card

is being used. it basically puts people who are white american in an awkward situation. >> john: i want to bring us to a situation that happened in san francisco recently with the noted conservative author shelby steele. he and his son eli were at the top of the famous lombard street, in an suv that had some camera equipment in it. they left the suv for about ten minutes. and when they came back to it, they found, we have some video of this here provided to us by eli steele, three windows were broken and about $30,000 worth of camera equipment was stolen. they called 911 twice, they were hung up on two times, so they went to the police station where eli said via a tweet, we just left the police station. the officer was kind and took down all info. she expressed sympathy and said nothing will likely happen.

the police have been defanged and what people in san francisco are experiencing every day. cars get broken into, things get stolen and the police do nothing about it. >> john, welcome to george soros america. i'll give him credit, he's brilliant. he's targeted district attorneys, made them progressive, handed money to them, and this is what's happening. i live in california. it's not just san francisco. it's los angeles, it's chicago, it's new york, it's philadelphia, this is what's going on. criminals can basically do whatever they want, the police have been neutered, john, and what's happening is that this is going on in democratic cities where progressive leadership and george soros' money has run rampant. it's going to continue because that's the democratic playbook. criminals are allowed to basically terrorize individuals. >> john: elon musk responded to this in conjunction with eli,

tweeting many twitter employees feel unsafe coming to work in downtown san francisco and their car windows smashed and a null response from the police they rarely even bother reporting crimes because nothing happens to which eli steele responded i don't blame your twitter employees one bit but what point do we say enough is enough and demand the services our taxpayer dollars pay for. leo, quick final point. when do we say enough is enough? >> i got the bad news for you. it's going to continue. we got our little governor, gavin newsom on fox news, wants to run for president, ignoring california. very clear to the fox viewers. it's not going to end as long as you keep voting democrat. it's time to make law and order the number one issue and vote republican. >> john: leo terrell, thanks for kicking us off today, appreciate it. good to see you. >> thank you, john. >> john: sandra, there was some surveillance video of the incident with shelby steele's car and you see the car drive up to the suv, they must have

looked and said oh, that's a rental car, and then they just looked around, smashed the windows and when shelby and his son came back to the vehicle, another car scoping out the other vehicles along the street. i remember being in san francisco not long ago to visit my daughter in napa, we parked in an elevated parking lot. you don't want to park on the street. >> sandra: what's going to change, businesses and people are leaving, and whole foods is a great example, they had to shut, they could not keep the staff safe or people shopping there safe and you'll see change and residents are fleeing and businesses are too. >> john: if ever an evidence of a doom loop in progress, it's san francisco. >> sandra: sad to watch. daniel penny will face a judge

in two weeks on the death of jordan neely on a subway train. >> he will be arraigned for a second time, june 28th. he was arraigned last month on the criminal complaint, this time daniel penny arraigned on the charges handed up by the grand jury on the sealed indictment, the charge of second degree manslaughter. he will enter a plea and the judge will also be able to revisit his bail terms. penny was released on $100,000 bail. that could change. we could also get a trial start date. prosecutors say penny acted with excessive unreasonable force when he put 30-year-old jordan neely in a chokehold on board that subway train on may 1st. penny has made the case he was a good samaritan, acting in self-defense of fellow

passengers. neely, homeless and mentally ill man, had 42 prior arrests, including four incidents of punching people. this indictment comes a day after another incident of reported self-defense on the city's subway. on tuesday night, a man named devictor was reportedly harassing passengers on a subway train before he punched a woman. the woman's boyfriend then stabbed him, the man later died from his wounds. the boyfriend, 20-year-old jordan williams has been arrested and charged with manslaughter. williams' attorney is comparing the case to daniel penny's, saying it's a clear case of self-defense and exclusive interview with fox news we spoke to a passenger on that train who tells us williams and his girlfriend were randomly punched by kadrogo. >> it was an act of self-defense and desperation. there had been a fight before any weapon was pulled, and i

think any -- any reasonable person can understand the impulse when you are in danger to protect yourself. >> sandra, interesting to note, new york city law prohibits anybody from carrying a knife in the transit system. another interesting thing, though, even in the city in general, if you have a knife on you and use it for self-defense, you could be arrested. we'll be following that case. >> john: we will indeed. bryan, thank you. >> president biden's scheme does nothing to drive the underlying calls of the debt crisis. >> it is really trying to ensure that families, the majority of families earning up to 120,000 for an individual or 250 for a family are able to access higher education. >> john: that was louisiana republican senator bill cassidy and congresswoman jayapal laying out two drastically different plans to tackle student debt. still no ruling from the supreme

court on president biden's $400 billion student handout but that decision could come any day now. senator john cornyn was part of a group of republican senators working to address the problem of sky high costs in education. he joins us coming up in our next hour to talk about that plan. but first, hillary vaughn is live on capitol hill and seems like democrats always have a plan to make something free at the expense of taxpayers. >> john, it's a popular theme. president biden wants to free people from their student debt and democrats on capitol hill want to prevent people from having to take on that debt by making college free. the college for all act sponsored by senator bernie sanders and jayapal would make public college free for families making under $250,000. it's paid for with a .5% on stock trades, a tax aimed at wall street, but critics of it say a tax like that will hit average americans with 401(k)

savings for retirement. >> ask you about your free college plan. is it free if you are raising taxes to pay for it? >> given the fact that we have the billionaire class paying a lower tax rate than working families, i think it's appropriate the wealthiest people in this country start paying their fair share of taxes. >> wall street street would hit average americans saving for retirement. >> what people say that? people on wall street. thank you. >> republicans introduced their own plan to help students avoid taking out loans they can't pay for. it would give students a break down before they take out the loan of how long it would take to pay it off, how much monthly payments would be and how much they would likely make from the degree that they are using the loan to pay for. it would also stop loans from being given to people who would not earn more with the degree they are paying for than without it. >> college education is one of the largest financial commitments many americans make

but there's not that much information for students to know if they are making the right or long -- right decision for the amount they are borrowing. >> and john, democrats college for all plan does come with a pretty hefty price tag. one estimate puts the cost around $700 billion. john. >> john: all right, hillary, love the way you bird dog our politicians in the halls of the senate. good for you. you know, sandra, she's becoming quite famous for that. >> sandra: indeed, she does a great job. tell her to bring anything new from capitol hill during these program hours. john, that student loan forgiveness, that is quite something she got from bernie sanders and obviously elicited a response from him. that does ultimately fall on the consumer and we have had studies done on both sides of the aisle that make that case. ultimately, you pay for it in taxes, and the form of higher interest rates, right, a time when more and more people are

taking on their own debt in this economic environment, and that is important to point out. the rich won't ultimately be on the hook for that. >> john: and an argument that senator john cornyn and bill cassidy and others floating this new idea for student loans makes is that they believe the federal student loan program is actually led to inflated college tuition fees. so we'll talk to him and hear from him about how that plan might work, tuition. yeah. >> sandra: a violent tornado caught on video barrelling through southwest georgia. part of a severe weather outbreak impacting nearly nine states in the south yesterday. a rare occurrence for the month of june and we may see more today. >> john: that is a big storm. plus, hackers targeting young social media users in sextortion

schemes, ending in tragic results. one died by suicide after being lured in on instagram. jordan's father is up next to tell us his son's story. not that into saving, are you? -whoa, dude. what do you... -money. you're not that into saving money. cuz... cuz you paid too much for those glasses. next time, go to america's best where two pairs and a free, quality eye exam start at just $79.95. the exam is alone is worth at least 59 bucks. wow. i gotta go tell my squad! hurry! ♪ i don't see how that's hurrying. two pairs and a free exam starting at $79.95. book an exam today at americasbest.com. ♪ the chase ink business premier card is made for people like sam who make...? ...everyday products... ...designed smarter.

>> john: the hail you say. an unusually powerful weather event spawned tornadoes and unleashed hail on several southern states yesterday, including alabama, and there could be more severe weather on the way. fox weather nicole valdez is live in alabama with the latest. some of those images that we got from that storm yesterday were incredible, nicole. what are you seeing there today?

>> john, good afternoon. unfortunately ufala, alabama, is one of several towns scattered across the south trying to get the lights back on after an entire day of severe storms that moved through very quickly and very powerful. some images here yesterday showing the sheer size, confirmed tornado that impacted so many people in this area. and that's really why we are seeing so much damage, including not only trees that are down, power lines are down, and structural damage to homes and businesses across the area. and clean-up for those, of course, many people want to try to get that done today, but it's not going to be easy, in fact, maybe even more challenging knowing that we are continuing to see strong storms move in today. not only thunderstorms, but again, strong wind gusts could make all of that debris even

more of a danger for so many people across the state of alabama, just under 40,000 customers are still without power, so as crews rush to get the lights back on, they may need to work quickly to keep themselves safe, but could impact florida, georgia and south carolina by tonight, john. >> john: pretty amazing stuff. nicole, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: alarming trend, more and more young social media users are falling victim to what is called sextortion schemes, and the outcomes can be absolutely devastating. the case of 17-year-old jordan demay, he died by suicide after being cat phished on instagram. the three men suspected of being behind the profile threatened to send explicit photos of demay to his family and friends unless they were paid hundreds of dollars. let's bring in john demay, jordan demay's father.

we are so incredibly sorry for your loss and thank you for telling your story today. >> thank you, sandra, for sharing our story. appreciate it. >> sandra: your son jordan, obviously very accomplished young man, very handsome, beautiful young man he was, we have pictures up on the screen. the suspect in his death is 1 of 3 suspects involved here. can you just please tell our audience, not familiar with your son's story, how it all started out and how it all happened? >> well, it started out with a simple text message from what he thought was a young lady on instagram, just probably a normal request for friendship, and all the message said was hi. he received that first message around 10:15ish on a thursday evening, and then that relationship progressed from just general conversation who you are, what they did, and these professionals, they groomed him and convinced him to send a picture of himself, which

he did, right around 12, 12:30 at night. and when that happened, the light switch happened and the extortion started. >> sandra: he was 17 years old at the time of his death. i know that you have said that while you were monitoring his social media accounts, you sort of stopped that as he got a bit older. can you tell us a little bit about that, with so many parents listening and fearing something like this can happen. what level of monitoring did you have of his social media accounts? >> yeah, that's a great question, and you know, i was the parent out of all of them that did the most. so i had apps at one time that mirrored his text messaging, we used all the verizon applications for parent controls, we used iphone parent controls, the phone would shut off at night, we did all those things for a very long time and so we had a lot of conversations about pictures and sending

things he was not supposed to over the years, we had all the normal conversations and did the things we could do. but he was 6, 8 weeks away from his 18th birthday, so we were almost well passed having to worry about what he was doing on his phone. he could have moved out of the house and fine on his own, so he was spreading his wings and getting ready to move to college and other things of his life. >> so absolutely tragic and heartbreaking. so many parents watching this and already so many fear the worst with social media, and we know that your son's tragic death is not uncommon across this country, it's happening all over the world and exposed to more and more cases like that as people reach out to you after your son's death. >> yeah, that's absolutely right. and as soon as it happened we kind of reached out to other people that we heard about, because this term was not really new -- or was something we knew

about, so it was a learning experience for us what it actually was. we are kind of in the role reversal now that a lot of parents are looking out to us for answers and help and how did you deal with this, and what steps did you take to get this investigation going. so you had some leads on a criminal side so. we have kind of been -- we have kind of been that leaning board for some folks and that's what we are here for today is to be that sounding board, a voice for the folks that can't be, and educate parents as much as possible and try to get into the students' minds and young people's minds some of the stuff on social media is scary and dangerous. >> sandra: i can imagine your son would be proud of you and supportive of you, as hard as it is, for speaking up and out about this. fbi defines it, as private information in exchange for sexually explicit material or

money, and the perpetrator, they pose as real people, john, often attractive women or men online targeting these young and vulnerable victims. quick final message to parents out there. >> i guess my final message would be i think in jordan's case, so close to an adult, i want to speak more towards the younger kids, the 12, 14, 13, 15, 16-year-old kids and parents. really, i think, the big thing is, we need to make sure that they are not in the bedrooms alone with phones, or the basements alone with phones, make sure they are well-monitored areas. kids are being victimized when they are alone. so let's try to keep them out of bedrooms, keep them out of private areas. >> sandra: doing a great job keeping jordan's memory alive, john. thank you for telling your story and best to you and your family. thank you. >> thank you. >> john: oh, what a tragedy.

migrant crisis crippling cities across the country. texas governor greg abbott resorting to sending bus loads of michigans to sanctuary cities, just yesterday to los angeles. will this push democrats to take action on the border crisis. we'll talk to texas republican senator john cornyn about that. >> sandra: and could president biden be facing issues in two primary states. panel of guy benson and richer fowler are standing by to give their takes on that and more coming up next. one aleve works all day so i can keep working my magic. just one aleve. 12 hours of uninterrupted pain relief. aleve. who do you take it for?

>> sandra: that was the miami mayor francis suarez announcing he is running for president after filing paperwork

yesterday, and the list for the 2024 t gop field for president just keeps on getting bigger. suarez hinted here on fox news tuesday that a run was imminent, but it's already drawing some backlash. team coverage with mark meredith, and guy and richard are standing by with their thoughts, but first, mark, how is the mayor launching his campaign? >> sandra, good afternoon to you. right now he's trying to get his name out there. he does not have national name recognition but the 45-year-old is hoping his youth, efforts to revitalize miami will appeal to some voters, he entered the race this morning releasing a campaign ad focusing on his efforts to lower taxes and bring more business to miami. he was not a supporter of former president trump either in 2016 or 2020, and the first interview as a candidate, tried to keep the attention off trump, instead focusing on his efforts to tout

his own experience. >> i'm running for president i think i have a different message than what other candidates have. i'm generational. i know the problem that 85% of americans who live in cities and 91% who constitute the gdp of the country are going through. things like increasing crime, homelessness, mental health issues. >> suarez may also have a florida problem. politico reporting he's acknowledged he did not vote for governor desantis in 2018 and tangled with him at one point during the pandemic. and also voted for desantis in 2022 in the re-election bid. speaking of desantis, the governor encouraging more 2024 competition, but this time in the democratic primary. today governor desantis publicly calling on california governor gavin newsom to join the race. >> what i would tell him is you know what, stop pussy footing around. are you going to -- [cheering] -- are you going to throw your hat in the ring and challenge joe?

are you going to get in and do it? are you just going to sit on the sidelines and chirp? >> governor newsom said he will support president biden in 2024 and side stepping questions of a primary challenge. president biden will meet with union members in philadelphia on saturday. and there's still some internal squabbling, democrats from iowa and new hampshire are upset over the effort to move south carolina up in the nomination contest and a report, sandra, it's possible the president may not even be on some of the ballots in the early states. we have to wait and see. >> sandra: thank you, mark. >> john: guy benson, fox news contributor and host of the guy benson show on fox news radio and richard fowler, fox news contributor and writing for forbes. i lived in miami when francis's father xavier was mayor, and you went to school with my older son.

come on. i want to switch gears and go with the democrats here. iowa and new hampshire, chris sununu said -- joe biden may not be on the ballot in two states, which means either williamson or bobby kennedy, jr. could beat joe biden in one or first of those first contests. how much egg on biden's face will that be? >> interesting question for the democratic party to figure out. worth pointing out the reason why the democratic party, the body of the party decided to switch the primaries because they looked at the man and they say where is our base, where are most of our voters, what does it look like after the 2020 election and they say hmm, looks more like georgia, south carolina, base is younger, african american, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, that does not look

like iowa and new hampshire, but more so like south carolina and georgia so you have to see how that plays out. i think what you might see happen in something like that is a downgrade, the amount of delegates they get. and we saw it in the republican party they changed the rules, and when you go against the rules you change how many delegates you get. >> john: in 2020, biden lost iowa and new hampshire, let's start in south carolina. >> maybe in the democratic primary process the electorate looks more like what the democrats are going for. south carolina is not a swing state. it's a pretty ruby red state. new hampshire is a left leaning swing state and iowa is increasingly right leaning swing state. let's say they get snubbed by the democrats, those two

traditionally states. whether biden is on the ballot, are there people so loyal to the politics there could be some residual resentment in a general election, it could be competitive unlike south carolina. >> john: i am getting old, i misremember things. switch gears and talk about the pride event where there were complaints the american flag was not being flown properly on the truman balcony, and then a transgender influencer invited, rose montoya, went topless, prompting the white house to say you are never going to be invited back to the white house. ron desantis weighed in on both things today. >> this transgender flag as the precedence over the american flag, that's wrong. that is not how you display the

american flag. when you have the -- the inappropriate conduct at the white house with like, you know, the transgender flashing people nude and all this stuff, you know, it's just totally -- totally inappropriate. why do you want to have that curriculum jammed into a 2nd graders classroom. >> john: the flag issue is one issue but connecting it with rose montoya to education and lgbtq+ instruction in early primary classes. what do you say about the link and what do you say about what happened at the white house? >> i think you have to decouple those things. we can agree miss montoya's behavior's unacceptable, and white house is saying that. and gender affirming or lgbtq affirming curriculum in schools and the banning of books like james baldwin in middle schools

and high schools in some states and cities, that's problematic. this is a part of american literature and we should be having that conversation. when you try to combine these things together and try to combine one person's bad acts versus a body of literature and body of history, that's indeed problematic and i think that's what he's trying to do, that's wrong. >> john: guy. >> most of the concerns are about pornographic materials in schools, and why desantis did what he did in florida, but on the white house event, the nudity question, it appears they are on the same page, totally inappropriate and to me, easy question. if it would be inappropriate and disrespectful if a straight cisgender person did it, inappropriate and disrespectful if a trans person did it. shouldn't be a double standard and looks like maybe there's not a double standard on, for once. >> john: montoya says she was just celebrating the moment,

that her two people with her -- one, at least one of them had a double mastectomy and showing off the scars. >> i agree with guy. where i take some issue with it is that when we talk about what's happening in many of these states, right, it's not about banning pornographic material, it's caught up in that is actual american literature. talking about james baldwin, we can agree at this table he's one of the greatest authors in american history and some states his books are banned. >> john: james patterson got banned, too, and he's one of the greatest authors in american history. >> sandra: scientists creating synthetic embryos, possible benefits and potential problems that could come from it. plus this. >> john: we are going to need a bigger boat. killer whales attacking a

>> sandra: a group of scientists from the u.s. and u.k. teaming up to create what is called the world's first synthetic human embryos, made without eggs or sperm. some call it a scientific break through, others say it raises ethical and legal questions. dr. marc siegel joins us, you give it to us straight. your thoughts, welcome. >> hi sandra, this is a tough

topic. embryonic stem cell research is controversial, the catholic church is against it, some protestants back it, but a big religious backlash against doing work on embryos, and international society for stem cell research said up to 14 days you can do it, not everybody agrees with it, and they are trying to extend it. 14 days comes from the time of implantation. here is what's going on here. they took one single cell, embryonic stem cell, and manipulating it to see what the placenta would look like, what the yolk sack would look like, there's no precursor of a brain or heart and not planning on using it for anything other than testing why someone miscarries, or what our genetic abnormality and can you predict them. a question for the researcher

here, same as with gain of function research. could you do this with computers, could you do it with artificial intelligence, could you predict this without using this actual cell and manipulating it. that's the question they have to answer from an international science point of view and then the religious backlash. >> sandra: far from am abouting actual humans, but to your point, a lot that we could learn from them along the way, right dr. siegel, and that's part of science. what you stumble on. >> you know, and i agree with that. miscarriage is very mysterious to us. we have don't know why a woman miscarries a lot of time. sometimes it's a genetic abnormality, sometimes it isn't. this started in 2018 with mouse stem cells and now the human cell but it's not an actual embryo and does not have the characteristics of it. they are looking t see what they can do to predict miscarriage
