♪ ♪ ♪ >> president joe biden just a couple of minutes away from speaking at his first campaign rally. he is expected to ache stage soon in philadelphia hot on the heels of picking up who key labor endorsements. i'm aishah hasnie, hey, griff. griff: hour two, here we go. i'm grefe jenkins. amid lagging poll numbers and i growing concerns surrounding his age, alexandria hoff is live in philadelphia with the very

latest on all of it. hey, alex. >> reporter: hey, griff, good to be with you. yeah, this debut re-election rally, this is an appeal to american workers, to union workers in particular. in about an hour, the president will crease this room. this event is hosted by the afl-cio, a powerful collective of about 16 unions, they represent about 12.5 pearl million americans. no surprise that the endorsement went the a democrat as it always has. and while the stage was being set earlier, president biden was actually in the sky surveying the damage of last sunday's deadly tanker crash that led to the closure of i-9 a 5 in northeast philadelphia. the president did provide an update on how his administration will be aiding in that reconstruction effort that has paralyzed one of the most critical roadways. listen. >> there's no more important project right now in the country as far as i'm concerned. i'm directing my team, not figuratively but literally, to

move heaven and earth to get it done as soon as humanly possible. >> reporter: according to governor josh shapiro, you can see in this tweet a this a stretch of i-95 will reopen in two weeks, the plan is to do so with a temporary fix before a more permanent solution is installed. so once again, the president's going on the taking the stage in about an hour now. these union workers already here eager to hear what he has to say. we talked about this union is, of course, a powerful collective, but individual members don't necessarily vote as a bloc. we saw that in 2016 and 2020, and when it comes to 2024, he'll be four years later. if 83 is a factor for anybody on the fence, it is certainly will be in 2024. griff: alexandria hoff, thank you. >> for more on campaign 2024, let's bring in our political panel today. with us is bill mcginley, vogel group principal, and

jonathan -- thank you both for joining us. i know we're still more than a year away, but it feels like it's happening tomorrow. the president's got major issueses. he's holding his first rally. it's been more than 50 days, i guess better with late than never, but there's still questions surrounding his age. and a suffolk university poll, if we can pop that up, 21% of democratic primary voters are still undecided. so, john, if they're not decided now about the incumbent, what would make them change their mind down the road? >> i think the president is going to start campaigning a little bit more. i don't think he needs to campaign. he is president. best campaigning he can do is continue to be president and show all that that he's accomplished for the american people. and i think when he starts doing that, those poll numbers will shift. but, look, there are definitely going to be a fringe of progressives who are upset with him, a fringe of moderates who are upset with him. but by the time the general

election comes around, democrats are going to be the united behind the president. look, he's hosting a labor rallied today, yesterday he was at the safer guns -- safer communities summit talking about gun violence. on the opposite side, donald trump was arrested and indicted, has to talk about how he's defunding the fbi, and ron desantis is talking about how he's more restrictive than donald trump in taking away health care for women. i like that comparison in the general, so i'm not too worried. a. aishah: to jon's point, is that biden's problem, that he hasn't done enough, but is it the fact that he's aging and he's got all these oversight committee and judiciary committee hearings and investigations going on about his family's potential business dealings. >> yeah. the president's campaign has a lot of problems. number one, all the reporting says he really wanted to launch this campaign in the fall, but they've hurried it up and decided to do this labor rallied to to be the starting gun, probably due in large part because robert kennedy jr. is

polling about 20% on a shoe string budget without the trappings of all of the incumbency that joe biden has from a rose garden strategy and everything else. so the biden campaign has to fund raise, and i think the pressure really built on him to do something. now, the issue that he's going to be the facing today with a lot of voters is he going to address the issues that american families and small businesses are actually facing; inflation, crime, a crumbnding education system where where they're teaching them what to think, not how to to think, and all of the issues american families have been facing. everything from a baby formula shortage, supply chain issues to the all of the issues that are facing american families. i think the biden campaign has a very big problem right now, and i thinkable this is the show that they realized they needed to get out of the gate and try and do something. ire irish the president is facing a crowded field. here's cornel west actually talking about perhaps a different alternative. >> the two-party system stands

in the way for the empowerment of precious poor people and precious working people. aishah: jon, get your reaction to that. >> nobody has done more for working people and poor people. there's a reason the afl-cio came out and endorsed him earlier than they ever have. there's no more pro-labor president than joe biden. cornel west has, you know, he wants to make a point. i'm sure he'll get on the ballot in some places, but there's not going to be any democrat who looks at the record joe biden has produced and say, yeah, i'd rather cornel west -- a guy who has no shot and should not do this. we i saw what happened when jill stein was able to help donald trump get reelected. any democrat should look at that and give it a second thought. aishah: you're saying senator manchin's not getting in? >> i don't know what he's going to do -- [laughter] he'll decide in the december or january. he'll do what's best if he thinks it's best for west

virginia and the country. aishah: vivek ramaswamy was just on with us on "fox news live" and basically saying president obama, the former president, this idea of calling out minority gop candidates for their view that minorities can get ahead in the u.s. is a racist idea. so let's listen. >> i think that predicting what someone's views are based on the color of their skin, that is racist. that is psychological slavery. and i reject that view. aishah: what do you think of that? >> i think americans are ready to move on from these labels that the democrats have been throwing at everybody whether it's racist or anything else. we need to get back to a merit-based society where parents are able to get their children education, to get them tools to succeed not only domestically, but on the international stage. and when politicians try and say that a certain candidate because of his or her race, that doesn't subscribe to a certain point of view is racist, i think it really does a disservice to the american people and the political dialogue we need to have in 2024.

if we want to move this nation forward, we need to talk about the merits of solutions and not the labels that these guys keep throwing out there. i think it's a real disservice not only to his supporters, but also to the people in the independent crew that are really going to the try and make the decision about who's going to be elected in 2024. aishah: one more, bill, gotta talk about the former president. a big week for him. not a great week, but we'll see if it helps him or not. gop field is also getting pretty crowd, now miami mayor francis suarez get in the race as well. the rnc is doubling down on this idea that whoever doesn't get the candidacy has to take this oath or this pledge of loyal i. is this going to be a problem for them? because we're seeing some folks not wanting to do that. >> yeah. look, i think it is going to be a problem. it's a historical position that the rnc has taken in terms of allowing people to get on the dedo bait stage. i do think there's going to be a

real debate going forward. president trump is in the driver's seat because he controls 35-40% right now, and the crowded field is competing to see if somebody can get the 50% plus 1 to get the nomination. as the field gets more crowded, it's going to be increasingly more difficult. the real, first test is going to be the august debate. we with see who qualifies for the stage, but also whether somebody is able to break out on stage. and it's also an open question whether president trump's going to participate. aishah: that's a question for you, jon. do you think president biden is going to participate in a debate? >> no -- aishah: he doesn't have to? >> he has no serious opponent. aishah: you don't think americans deserve to see not only the incumbent, but perhaps other potential candidates they might want to see? >> if there was a serious candidate. marianne williamson and robert kennedy jr. have no business being on the stage with the president. like, he should never even say their names or talk about them, and you should not go on the stage. donald trump didn't debate anybody in 2020 the, i don't see

any reason for president biden to do it. you should just keep going out, signing pieces of legislation. his arms are going to get tired from signing so many bipartisan bills, that's the only thing he should worry about. aishah: okay, bill, jon, thanks for joining us. appreciate it. diswhroosh in this week on "fox news sunday," shannon bream is sitting down with tim scott as well as gop presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy, she's also talk with retired four-star general jack keane. check your local listings. also on "mediabuzz," howie kurtz analyzing the wall to wall coverage of the trump indictment and the contrasting media reaction to the accusations. that's tomorrow at 1 11 a.m. ♪ griff: secretary of state antony blinken spending the weekend in beijing meeting with senior officials after his original trip was delayed following the chinese surveillance balloon that was shot down over u.s. air

space earlier this year. lucas tomlinson is live from washington with more. >> reporter: griff, first, president biden called the chinese spy balloon silly last month, then earlier today he appeared to downplay the incident again while his top diplomat is in the air heading to china. >> the leadership knew -- i don't think the leadership knew where it was, knew what was in it and knew what was going on. i think it was more embarrassing than it was intentional. >> reporter: the first visit by a secretary of state in five years, griff. blinken's last visit was abrupt withly called off shortly before the massive spy balloon was blasted out of the sky off the coast of south carolina but not before floating across the united states on that week-long odyssey. blinken spoke ahead of his trip. >> intense competition requires sustained diplomacy. to insure that competition does not veer into confrontation or conflict. and, again, that is what the

world expects of both the united states and china. >> reporter: provocations from china have only increased since that spy balloon incident. a fighter jet recently buzzed a u.s. air force surveillance plane in the south china sea, it was collecting signals intelligence, of course. hours after bind's defense chief said the u.s. would not be bully by china, a chinese warship recklessly cut in front of an american destroyer in the taiwan strait. the white house says china's been spying on the u.s. from the island of cuba since 2019. of course, the u.s. has been spying on china for years too. in the last hour, vivek ramaswamy accused the biden administration of being scared of china. >> there is little doubt if that had been a russian spy balloon, we would have shot it down and ratcheted up sanctions instantly. the reason we didn't do it for china is, frankly, because we're

frightened. >> reporter: bill gates recently flew to beijing to meet with chinese president xi jinping, the premier told bill gates, quote, you are the first american friend i've met with so far this year. we'll see if blinken can make it the second. griff: lucas tomlinson in washington, thank you. ♪ aishah: protesters call for a boycott of last night's dodgers game after of the team invited the sisters of perpetual indulgences for their pride night. thousands gathered outside the stadium as the drag drag queen nuns were honored on field. claudia cowan has the latest details on the fallout. >> reporter: it was a night of pride and proif protest and pr damage control by the dodgers who honored these controversial nuns an hour before the first pitch. the previously disinvited but then reinvited lgbtq+ group known as the sr.s -- sisters of perpetual indulgence were

brought onto the field to receive the team's community hero award. it happened well before normal pregame events, but relatively few fans were in the stands to witness it. a much different story outside the stadium where 2,000 protesters blocked entrances and voiced their anger. [inaudible conversations] >> reporter: dodgers fans and people of faith said their issue wasn't with the nuns' charitable work on behalf of the queer community, but rather with their satirical skits and flamboyant costumeses that many catholics feel mock not only nuns, but religion itself, some calling it outright blasphemy, others saying no other religion would be treated in this way and many people here very upset with the team. >> i have no idea why the dodgers would do this to offend all of us.

and they seen the outcry, and yet they even acold poll eyesed to the drag organization, but they didn't mention no apologies to the catholics and christians. that's very telling. >> reporter: a much smaller group showed up to counter-protest and support a group they say are targets for homophobic attacks. the protests were peaceful, and there were no arrests. now, the next chapter in this saga will unfold on july 30th. that is when the dodgers will hold christian faith and family day. it is an event they have held in the past but not since the pandemic. aishah? aishah: claudia cowan live for us, thank you. griff: and we are just days away from learning how the supreme court will rule on some of the most contentious topics in the cultural wars, from affirmative action to religious liberties and student loans, our scotus and student loans, our scotus panel breaks it all down next. ♪ and i'm gonna cashback on a few other things too.

griff: the supreme court is still set to to release several high profile decisions before the end of their term including cases on affirmative action, student loan forgiveness and religious liberty. to break down some of the remaining opinion, we're joined by our scotus panel, senior legal fellow at heritage foundation, jan carlo -- and

civil rights attorney in atlanta robert by tee owe. thank you for joining me. let's dive right into the affirmative action cases because there's two significant ones, and they're similar. one is for public universities, the other for private institutions. john carlo, what do you make of what we expect to come down? >> sure. the question in the case is whether schools can use racial preferences to racially balance their student bodies. it's simultaneously a civil rights act issue, equal protection issue. how the court decides those cases, there's a lot of options before it, but it looks like from oral argument that the supreme court is likely to say that universities can no longer use race to balance their student bodies. griff: right. and title vi is in play here, and the opponents of affirmative action say, basically, race is being overemphasized in these

cases. robert, what do you make of it? >> i think this particular supreme court, it's very difficult to predict what they're going to do. on the one hand, we had the dobbs decision overturning roe v. wade, but on the other hand, we just had the voting rights decision upheld, much of the redistricting provisions of that. the roberts court has been a very back and and forth court when it comes to making some of these big decisions. we look at affirmative action, it's one of the most effective federal tools that's ever been created for bridging the generational wealth gap, for providing more opportunities for women and minorities both in higher education and a causeway that has led e to success. the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action have been middle class white women who have prosperedded more than any other group, and i think it would be very controversial if the supreme court decides to overturn that decision. griff: giancarlo, what do you make of the fact that we're hearing quite a bit about title vi of the civil rights act as it

relates particularly to the the asian-american students? >> robert's right in that affirmative action has not benefited the students that it is made to help. in fact, the research is pretty clear that but for affirmative action programs, there would be more minority doctors, lawyers and other professionals. universities do tend to favor wealthy immigrants, they tend to favor legacies, and they tend to favor people who ultimately are not probably the people we really want to be most helped in universities. griff: let's gaze into the crystal judicial ball if you can. how do you think they rule, robert? >> i think they uphold affirmative action as a policy position. i think that if you look at the case law put down over the last 50 years, the manifest weight of it is in favor of maintaining the current system. however, this court does not fear straying away from stare decisis. griff: do you agree, giancarlo? we've a conservative-leaning court now, so i'm not sure that

would be the outcome most would expect. >> no, i think quite the opposite, the supreme court will, one way or another, end affirmative action either on the basis of the plain text or that it violates equal protection which is to say you may not discriminate on the basis of race. like chief justice roberts said, we didn't fight a civil war over oboe players. griff: let's stay on college campuses and talk about student loans. how do you think that is going to come out? this is really a case that many are watching, particularly for those who have student loan debt. robert? >> well, you have two questions in controversy here. question one is whether or not the states attorneys general who brought these suits on behalf of at least six separate a states have standing, whether or not they have any injury or any cause of action here and whether or not this is a case in controversy between the borrowers themself and the federal government and whether or not these attorney generals can actually bring this case.

a second question is under the heroes act of 2003, that is the act which president biden is using as a conduit to cancel $20,000 for some borrowers, $10,000 for other borrowers, ask whether or not he has the power to do that. the court more than likely will decide from what i've seen that there's not standing for these attorneys general, and i think these cases will get an unsatisfactory conclusion. griff: you raised two great points. giancarlo, what do you make of it? >> yeah, standing is definitely a tricky question. i could see that question going either way. but on the question of authority, ultimately it seems relatively beyond dispute that what biden did was abuse an a emergency statute used to give temporary relief to oldiers deployed overseas -- soldiers deployed overseas after 9/11 to permanently cancel loans for most borrowers. but the question is, do we reach

that point or does standing pose the barrier, and that is a big question that i couldn't give you a prediction on. griff: well,ing we shall see what happens with that. let's keep going through, i think there's about 18 case, by the way, that they've got to get out. it's quite a large number of cases to be this hate in the term. let's talk about the workplace rights, lgbtq rights in workplace peach. this case -- speech. this case, we've seen these before, this one's unique. what to do you make of this one, robert? >> i think in this case it's going to be the, i think this is the going to be the particular case that plays into the 2024 election cycle because we've seen so many republicans, so many conservatives make the community kind of the punching bag of this election cycle whether it's protesting drag queens, protesting outside of the dodgers game where they're honoring the lgbtq community, this has the potential to be much as the dobbs decision was in 2022 kind of that lightninged rod issue to really turn people

out. and president biden's going to roll into the 2024 election and say, look, i brought you infrastructure reform, omnibus spending bill, i did the debt ceiling, i've gotten big policies done, give us the strength in the senate to push things through legislatively, and we we won't necessarily have to depend on the supreme court whether or not things would be legal or not. griff: you raise an interesting point, robert, that you believe this could possibly be the case that is talked a lot about on the campaign trail. now, in this case, this is a woman who says, she, of course, has her own religious beliefs and why she doesn't want to design her product that way. giancarlo, do you see this as plague out on the campaign trail, and also what do you make about the case? >> it's easy to get confused about the legal issues in this particular case. although her interest stems from her religious beliefs, the actual issue in the case is a free speech one, specifically compelled speech and the government in question compel someone to speak a message that

they don't agree with. now, to be clear, lori smith, the web site designer here, does ors in fact, serve same-sex couples. what she objects to is being forced to create a web site that celebrates marriage including marriage coming from an affair, for instance. she wouldn't want to celebrate that, but she will, indeed, serve lgbtq people. the legal question in the first amendment and not religious liberty. griff: a great deep dive with some smart lawyers. robert, giancarlo, thank you very much for taking the time. have are a great weekend. >> thank you. aishah: at least 41 people are dead, many of them students after a group of militants attacked a school in western uganda. the extremist group responsible for the attacks is based in neighboring congo. ryan chilcote is live with more on this tragic, developing story. >> reporter: aishah, this was an absolutely abhorrent attack, an attack on a secondary school.

the vast majority of those killed in the attack just kids, just students at that school. authorities say that the bodies had been burned, shot or hacked to death with machetes in this attack which took place inside of uganda. that's less than 2 miles from the border with congo. that's where the ugandan authorities say the militants who carried out this massacre came from, and that's where they say they've returned to immediately following it. the authorities say they were part of a group that calls themselves the allied democratic forces or adf for short, real misnomer for a very shadowy extremist group that has ties to the islamic state. adf has, in fact, been launching attacks into congo for years from bases inside eastern congo in a very lawless swath of that country, the most infamous of

those attacks actually 25 years ago in which students, 80 students were massacred in a town that is actually not too far from where this attack happened. uganda's military say they're pursuing the militants into eastern congo, but there are very, very hard to operate in, very thick forest. it's actually home to one of the biggest national parks in all of africa. at least 6 people, authorities say -- seemingly all of them kids -- were abducted by the rebels when fled over that border. of you ask yourself, how could this happen? this, aishah, was a boarding school. the attack happened at 1 # 1:30 p.m., i.e., in the dead of night. apparently, the mill a about thes got close enough to the school, they were able to kill the security guards, and then they proceeded to light the dormitory on fire. an absolutely atrocious story. aishah? aishah: ryan, to target children, it's baffling and horrific. ryan chilcote, thanks very much

people are tremendously impacted. as you can see, there's just devastation from the winds and from the rain that came through. it's awful. griff: and this is somewhat more rural, smaller area really in the northern top of texas about 130 # miles, i believe, northeast of amarillo. how important is it now that the are relief and clean-up efforts are underway, and what is the red cross specifically doing? >> so it's really important that we're there and, luckily, we almost always have a presence in that community. we certainly always have a presence in the panhandle. and, in fact, we're recovering there in amarillo from some floods over the last couple of weeks. so we had people really close that were able to deploy up to perryton that night, and we opened up a shelter there at perryton high school. and we have people staying there right now we're going up and supplying supplies, tarps,

gloves, water, things people need, and that's what we're trying to do is help people through those initial phases of cleaning up and just listening to their story and letting them know that people care. griff: and, brian, this is what the are red cross does so well. but how difficult is it? because you look at these images that we're showing our viewers in these pictures, this storm which i believe is estimated to be an ef2, just leveled buildings and cars strewn about like toys thrown about. and, obviously, infrastructure damaged as well. >> yeah. this is just an awful experience for the people that are there and that are going through it. you know, the red cross is there to be there, you know, really to listen to what they have to say, to help them through getting, you know, helping them connect up with the right agencies, helpinging them find help for how to get to the school, how to

in the last 20 yearses. so something broadly environmental is probably driving these changes. >> reporter: taste ya walker whose cancer is now in remission, was diagnosed ten years ago at the age of 24. >> i caught it early, at stage 2a. i was able to fight, my age was on my side is. early detection is key. >> reporter: but doctors say far too many young adults wait until the cancer begins to spread e and becomes much harder to treat. >> one of my most memorable patients was doing crossfit three times a week, she was training for her marathon and was having irregular bowel movements for nine months, and her doctor thought there was no way she could have colorectal cancer. >> routine colonoscopies are not recommend ared until the age of 45, so medical experts say it's important for younger e people not to ignore any persistent gastrointestinal symptoms. >> abdominal pain, rectal

bleeding, weight loss, things that could be early signses of colorectal cancer need to be taken seriously. >> reporter: and the same advice holds true for their doctors. i think that it's important with the new data coming out, the increasing incidence of colorectal cancer that primary care physicians have a lower threshold to get these patients evaluated sooner. >> reporter: on a personal note, this story hits close to home for me. many summer of 2017 my younger brother was diagnosed with colon cancer and died just a few months later. our family had ono prior history of colorectal cancer and at the time routine colonoscopies were not recommend ared until age 50. my brother was 48. in atlanta, jonathan serrie, fox news. griff: thank you u jonathan. meanwhile, terror in the bam has as a 73-year-old expert scuba diver from iowa is viciously

belarus. basically saying he won't use them unless he has to. ukraine's counteroffensive against russia is into its second week, it's making gains but progress is slow. the enemy's dug in, and ukraine find when they liberate a village, it's been destroyed. just out of one of those places, howard buffett, the son of finance year warren buffett -- finance where are. -- financier. here's what they told us via zoom. >> in this particular little village, i believe there was 18 people that had stayed. it's disheartening to see the kind of damage that's been done by the russians and also very encouraging to be able to see the people and, i mean, they literally will break down in tears when they see you. the only way they survived is on humanitarian assistance. and the problem is that we're asking ukraine to fight a war, and we're giving them enough to fight and die, but we're not giving them enough to fight and

win. thus one of the most -- this is one of the most dedicate group of people that i've ever seen in my life, and they're not giving up. >> reporter: very enthusiastic buffett concluded by saying you're not going to wreak the -- break the will of the ukrainian people. this is our sixth trip here into the country in the last 18 months. we concur. back to you, aishah. aishah: greg palkot live from kyiv, thank you. ♪ griff: a high school volleyball player injured by a transgender opponent in september now speaking out on the hypocrisy of the biden administration's position on transgender students in girls' sports. charles watson is live with the details. hey, charles. >> reporter: good afternoon, give. volley -- griff. peyton mcnabb is criticizing the white house, calling its stance on transgender students competing in girls' sports hypocritical. this is an issue that mcnabb has really been outspoken on

since last fall really when a transgender player on an opposing team spiked a volleyball in her face causing her a concussion and a neck injury. she is now urging lawmakers to take action and ban biological male athletes from competing against biological female athletes. she's also taking issue with the biden administration for this response to a question about parents' concerns on this particular issue at a white house press briefing earlier this week. look. >> -- issue -- >> reporter: what would the president say to parents out there who have daughters say in high school, for example, who are worried their -- that their daughter may have to compete against a male, a person born male and worry about their daughter can's safety? >> what a dangerous thing to say, that essentially transgender kids we're talking about are dangerous. >> it's like it's very, very hypocritical. i think she's taken what others have said about how this is dangerous for us, and she's essentially switched it around and played the victim from the

situation. which i expect nothing less from that whole administration. >> reporter: is so lawmakers in mcnabb's home state of north carolina are addressing this issue, a bill specifically banning anyone who is designated a male at birth from competing in girls' sports is likely to come vote on the floors of both the north carolina house and senate in the coming weeks. democratic governor roy cooper is expected to oppose the measure if it does pass both chambers, but republicans do have a supermajority, so if the governor does, indeed veto that bill, it is still likely to become law, griff. griff: we will be watching. charles watson, thank you very much. just before we go, let's take one last look at president biden speaking there. you know, aishah, he mentioned being with the ones that with brung ya, a famous old ronald reagan re-election line he has
