>> greg: we're out of time, thanks to governor nikki haley, todd piro. [cheering] >> todd: a fox news alert on the 2024 liability that is plaguing president biden. former hunter business associate said he offered offered to testify before the grand jury and never got a response. >> carley: msnbc didn't ask the president a single question about his son yesterday. this is how the interview ended. >> thank you, mr. president. good to have you. thank you. don't go anywhere, exciting day around here, we'll have

reaction. >> todd: plus, california could be inching closer to becoming the first state to pay reparations. answer my question, what do we want? when? what do we want? >> reparation. >> when? >> now. >> what do we want? >> reparation. >> when? >> now. >> what do we want? >> reparations. >> todd: dozens of recommendation to compensate black residents are in the hands of state lawmakers. you're watching "fox and friends first," i'm todd piro. >> carley: i'm carley shimkus. all eyes on the supreme court, justiceslet rule on three cases, including student lone forgiveness program. >> todd: alexandria hoff. >> alexandria: the student loan relief plan and lgbtq protection. you have biden v nebraska,

questioning authority to issue $20,000 in student loan relief and an artist refused to make wedding website for same-sex couples. supreme court struck down affirmative action yesterday saying it violates equal protection clause under the 14th amendment. the president called the court not normal. >> is this a rogue court? >> this is not a normal court. >> president biden: i meant it is basic decisions more than any court in recent history, that is what i meant by not normal. >> alexandria: taking adversity into account and supporting diversity. here is the president. >> president biden: all men and women are created equal, this court seems to say that is not

always the case. >> alexandria: that is from the declaration of independence. justice jackson wrote, with the let them eat cake oblivious, majority pulls rip cord and announces color blindness by deeming race irrelevant. judge thomas wrote back, as jack sayson race-infused world falls flat, sum of unique experiences and accomplishment, race is not to blame for everything good or bad that happens in their lives. incoming student at brown university shared this. >> it does make me feel uncomfortable knowing in that admission office when deciding if to accept me or reject me, they might have considered my race. this is not something i can control or anyone can control and i think it is unfair to judge someone based on that.

>> alexandria: today's rulings expected to be reached at 10:00 a.m. >> carley: a busy one, thank you. i think those concerned, like president bide, about this ruling, called the court not normal, it is extreme. they should read chief justice john roberts opinion, he says a university can consider how race affected his or her life and he goes on to say the difference is the student must be based on an individual, not race alone. colleges can consider race, income, how you were raised and it was asian americans who brought this case forward, they were feeling discriminated against. another thing, there are extreme challenges in low income, rural white communitieses, poor education, broken homes, that

could make it just as challenging to get accepted into college or achieve success in high school that would lead you to get into a better college, as it is in inner-city black communities. >> todd: that is really important point, focusing on inner city students for a moment, you want to help them get in better colleges, don't just focus on college, focus more and more on k-12. stop failure factories that all they do is pad pockets of teacher unions. look at inner-city schools, billions of dollars are funneled in. results are abysmal. start at k-12 so they have the opportunity to get into a college or university on same plain as everyonel. you mentioned the justice roberts quote.

justice thomas, i love this. every time the government uses racial criteria to bring the races together, someone gets excluded and suffers injury because of his or her race, that summarizes the entire argument and brings it back to the constitution which prohibits -- >> carley: interesting to see how colleges put this into practice, it gives colleges leeway how they emphasize race in applications. i can see people who feel like nothing changed at all and college is not the end all, be all to success. depends on the major, doctor, lawyer, business major, great, if majoring in creative writing. have you thought about welding? you can make six figures.

suspensions and only thing left was termination. i was concerned about having it on my work record, i chose to resign under duress. everyday was some form of misery, i lost seniority by moving to a different post office. >> todd: this is a big win for gerald and people across the country. justice samuel alito writing, an employer who fails to provide accommodation attributable to employee animosity to particular religion, religion in general or accomodating religious practice cannot be considered undue. what does this mean for employees and imployers across the country? >> this is a huge wake-up call for hr. they can no longer drive people

of faith into the shadows and presume they will win and not have to actually follow the statute congress passed 50 years ago. for millions of americans, it's been 50 years, most working more thanes have never been able to work under the full freedom congress granted under title seven. this is a new day and hr departments will have to rewrite the manual and accommodate in an appropriate day. >> todd: at time when people practicing faith is at an all-time low, why did you choose to fight? >> because i love the lord and that is my motivation. i was trying to save my job after a lost my job, my motivation was to keep that from happening to anybody else who has a belief in america. in america, freedom is what it

hunter biden was to benefit the biden family. house republicans are telling me they are demanding federal officials to appear for interviews regarding the claims. comer judiciary committee chairman, jim jordan and ways and committee chairman jason smith, sent a joint letter to the secret service telling me, we need to hear from federal employees and other witnesses about weaponization of federal law enforcement power. americans are counting on us to ensure accountability. here is more on how hunter biden got off so easy. >> everybody from david weiss to career agents, everybody agreed hunter biden should face more serious felonies and recommended cases to u.s. attorneys in california and in washington,

d.c., both appointees of joe biden. >> denying claims and merrick garland says weiss was given complete authority to make all decisions on his own behalf. >> todd: david weiss said the opposite. bring in nancy mace, who is on the house oversight committee. when we have republicans in congress on accident we pres you on the exact steps you are taking to unravel this hunter web. this request for transcribed interviews seems like it is really big whachl do you expect to uncover in the interviews? >> well, this is explosive, the more we learn, the worse it gets and could end up being one of the most corrupt stories in u.s. history. we want to show evidence. we have to show beyond a

reasonable doubt overwhelming evidence to the public. the mainstream media will not do the job, ignoring the story just like the doj did. we need to show how corrupt the doj was and trust whistleblowers more than merrick garland or the doj. they have to provide documents. if they don't, we havure po of holding them in contempt. severe consequences, if they don't submit the evidence. >> carley: are you surprised investigators wouldn't want to talk to his business partner? >> it is shocking. after watching the whistleblower give interviews this week on fox news and seeing testimony from ways anden moos that he's provided, it shouldn't surprise anybody they were complicit in a cover-up and would not pursue

the investigation of hunter biden and joe biden to fullest extent of the law and we have multiple committees now. i don't know where this ends. there is talk of 17 or 18 million, based on documentation i've seen, that barely scratches the surface, we're talking about so much money and corruption and people being paid off. so many bidens with hundreds of thousands and millions in their bank account and merrick garland thinks he can lie to the american people. i'm grateful for james comer and jim jordan for doing the hard work and happy lifting. don't trust us issue trust the evident. >> todd: 41% of cnn viewers knew about the money and 50% knew about the whistleblower claims and 31% knew about the team removed from the hunter biden

probe. i will play devil's advocate here. now that cbs, they were first to have gary shape on, they were the starters, do you see the pendulum swinging with regard to this scandal turning on joe or is that wishful thinking on the part of other people? >> i hope it is start of the mainstream media asking questions during press conferences and briefings because they owe the american people answers. last time white house spokesperson was asked, they walked off the stage. joe biden laughs it off. this is not funny. he sold out his country and i want the american people to see the facts and come to their own conclusion and decision. i appreciate y'all covering this story, very few people are.

i hope this is start of a 92 new day where folks in mainstream media are following your lead. >> carley: president biden was with nicole wallace yesterday and did not ask anything having to do with hunter biden and the plea deal. the way the interview ended is getting attention. >> mr. president, thank you. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. >> thank you. don't go anywhere, it is an exciting day around here, we'll have reaction. >> carley: he, i don't know if you have a monitor in front of you, he wandered off the set before the commercial break. there are concerns over president biden's fitness. he will be 86 at the end of his second term, what do you think about that? >> certainly seeing his cognitive decline, no denying that.

you have seen guy like donald trump take tough interviews and questions, do tough town halls and joe biden can barely pass a softball interview. the differences are stark in contrast and i don't know how anybody goes along with what joe biden is trying to sell. as mom and aging parents, it is difficult to watch him be forced through this thing, he shouldn't be president. the mental decline is horrible to watch. >> todd: nancy mace, have a great 4th of july. and making reparation plan a reality in california, after heated final hearing. now is time for a divorce. what do you get in divorce? half the money, half the land,al moany, attorney fees and everything else. >> todd: what comes next? >> carley: and dylan mulvaney is

it was a dieing horse we would say please stop hitting it. >> race can be a factor a long with other things. >> yeah, it has to do with grades and other things. you want people to have a chance. the asian american community did not feel represented because they focus on fundamentals and education. they're starting to see more results. and they don't get to pick, you want someone to pick and choose the groups? that's ridiculous. >> president biden mixing up iraq and ukraine this week and pete buttigieg defending him. >> i wish you could be in a room with him the way i often am seeing how he is focused on a big picture vision, this is an administration that has been extraordinarily effective. frankly one of the cases that i
