joey: straight to a fox news alert. protesters yesterday outside the supreme court following two monumental rulings. in a 6-3 vote, the high court ruled in favor of a web designer. successfully arguing it conflicts with her christian faith. >> today is certainly a victory but not just for me, for all americans. court has affirmed that the government cannot force anyone to say something it doesn't believe. rachel: yeah. she said free speech is for everyone. and in a separate ruling, president biden suffering a major defeat as the justice diss blocked his $430 billion student loan bailout plan. it would have allowed eligible borrowers to cancel up to

$20,000 in debt. >> did you overstep your authority? >> i think the court misinterpreted the constitution the. will: this follows the previous day of landmark decisions with the high court voting to outlaw race-based affirmative action in college admissions, just a landmark week for the supreme court and a really bad week for joe biden. let's focus in on the supreme court for just one moment, if we might. these are three major, or major policies that are the culmination of years, perhaps even decades, of work in some cases. for example, when it comes to the affirmative action. the supreme court saying that colleges should not use race in admission to me, on its case is a -- on its face, is a good and principled move in terms of evolving towards a less race-conscious society. under the 14th amendment, all men have equal protection. when it comes to the colorado case, this was simply about free

speech. should you be compelled to endorse or create speech you do not agree with, and in that case this was a web site designer that said, look, i will happily serve anyone who walks through my door, gay, straight, black, white, i just don't want to have to create messages that i don't agree with. and i think anyone regardless of their political welcomed -- background could understand -- joey: that's such a great point that people haven't made. it's not about she wants to treat homosexuality or homosexual people different, she wants to serve them, but it's the messaging of what she's being asked to do, and and she works in a first amendment platform. for example, if antifa came in and said we want you to do some flyers for us or a web site, does this case cover her there? there's so many places in free speech that you may be allowed to the say it, but you're not necessarily protected to make someone else partake in it. will: that's right. rachel: you know, it's interesting on student loan issue which is another big one, i totally agree with the court, by the way, that service the

unconstitutional of joe biden to do it, but there's another part that agrees with it just as a mom, as a parent concerned about the message that that kind of hone forgiveness sends to young people, this idea that you can take out loans and expect that other people are going to pay for it. i mean, the whole idea of the american dream is based on the principle or the idea of perm responsibility -- personal responsibility. and there are so many people i look even within my own family, my daughter took out loans, she's still paying them out. her now-husband took out loans, but -- took out loans and paid them off as he worked. and so he now has no loans. and actually took a semester off to work in order to e pay for that. you know, those are two different ways of approaching it, and and this is saying the person who didn't pay off their loan should get that privilege in it doesn't make sense. will: and it doesn't coanything to solve underlying problem -- rachel: 100% right. will: yeah. i talked about with dan earlier

in the show. you want to start with a place of agreement, i think left, right, colleges are absurdly expensive -- joey: unnecessarily, unjustly. will: it doesn't have a return on investment, it's outpacing inflation, it's absurd. but just saying to 43 million people, okay, therefore, you don't have to i pay off your debt isn't -- first of all, i agree with you, t not morally right to to just say accountability is not a priority. but it's knot going to solve -- it's not going to solve the problem. it's just going to have colleges jack up the prices more. we've got to figure out a way to go in -- a lot of this because of government sub city i thinks to why colleges can keep raising hair prices over and over. rachel: these colleges are sitting on billions of dollars -- will: in uncoements. rachel: exactly -- endowments. during covid, none of them wanted to release any of that. what is the endowment for if not to help make -- will: water slides and football

coaches. rachel: that's exactly right. joey: well, leave football alone now. [laughter] of those three supreme court decisions, the last one, the college debt forgiveness, is one that really attacks campaign promises and really changes where biden is in his agenda and how he's responding to things and how he's touting, you know, bidenomics this week, and, you know, taking a crap sandwich and turning it into a gourmet meal. but he had a pretty tough week kind of explaining a lot of things. let's ache a listen. >> -- let's take a listen. >> mr. president, thank you. >> thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> thank you. don't go anywhere, it's a very exciting day around here -- >> the constitution says we hold all men and women are created equal -- >> reporter: has vladimir putin been weakened by recent eventsesome. >>st hard to tell, but he's cleary losing the -- leer -- clearly losing the war in iraq are. three-quarters of industries

consecrate -- excuse me, consecrated. i'm thinking i didn't go to mass. [laughter] will: hey, real quick -- [laughter] it's becoming so so common place. but the people, you know. >>, because we can give you direct experiences, you don't walk off set usually. it did look like it was the edge of segment. i'm talking about when he walked off the msnbc set. you usually wait for the commercial break, and everyone knows that -- joey: decades of experience being interviewed on television. that's the point. it's not just that it looked funny, it's that for decades he's known not to do that, and now for some reason he doesn't, and that's the problem. rachel: i wish we would spend less time on it and talk about this, which is the real thing that's going on, the biggest scandal in modern political history, and that is the hunter biden family -- i should say the biden family criminal enterprise where where we have, you know,

joe -- hunter biden basically acting as the moneybags going with around different foreign countries collecting money ask and trading on his father's position. we now have seen ample evidence to the prove that hunter biden not only collected this money, but that that it was distributed 10% to the big guy. we have really incriminating phone calls of him threatening chinese energy company executives saying give me the money or else you're going to have to pay, you know? i'm -- we're not going to forget about this and suddenly $5 million shows up in their accounts. one of the whistleblowers, gary shapley, has been talking about what kinds of retribution he's been getting and other whistleblowers as well. this is a big problem for joe biden moving into the election. will: this was all part of this week as well. rachel: yeah. will: joe biden's tough week included, as you point out, more

information from those whatsapp messages and text messages in the federal doj case. hunter biden sued in the civil case can, headed towards depositions, and hen finally, there was a settlement reached in his child support case -- rachel: can't forget about that. will: -- with london roberts, navy would not be able to use the biden last name. rachel: some painting. joey: that's what i want to hone in on for a second. we all have a different path to walk. raising our kids is a responsibility and a privilege. it's nothing more, knoll less -- nothing less. i'm not going to the preach about what a good parent is, but being a parent is good. that's kind of the reverse of that. you choose how you raise your kids, but you raise your kids. and what bothers me so much about this and if we follow this backwards with, if we look at all the scandals and the excuses, oh, well or, joe's just a great cat dad and wants to be there for his troubled son, excuse is, oh, hunter's going

through so much. he got kicked out of the navy, he lost his brother and then he became an addict. okay, what is he today? we're not told he's an addict today. is he still grieving today? what is with it about today that stops him from taking responsibility for his daughter? and so when i see, i say the best evidence of a sober hunter biden as to what kind of person he is and what kind of person his dad is, and that's what bothers me so much about this. the public embarrassment's already there. everybody knows it's his daughter. he's paying child support. why in the heck would you not want to spend some precious if moments with a beautiful, innocent child that has your dna? rachel: well, that -- joey: why wouldn't you want her to have your name? rachel: that goes for the grandparents as well. just saying. joey: that's exactly what i was getting at. if you follow it backwards, this isn't just a social embarrassment case, this really is part of all the rest of it which is sometimes people are just right. will: another fox news alert, emmanuel macron canceling a trip

to germany after a fourth straight night of protests and rioting across his country, more than 1300 people detained last night alone. it was sparked by a traffic sop that resulted in the death of a 17-year-old in a paris suburb on tuesday. now, this is footage of the incident. officers surround the 17-year-old's vehicle can and open fire as he appears to attempt to drive off. there are those who suggest there was an officer on the hood, and his life was in danger as the 17-year-old began to drive away. joey: now more than 45,000 officers are trying to retore the order. dozens of officers were hurt in last night's riots. that included nearly 60 reports of attacks on police stations. france's interior minister calling the rioting across the country unacceptable. rachel: the teen will be laid to this morning and not far from where the shooting occurred. a holocaust memorial was vandalized by protesters in the same area. the european jewish congress quickly condemning the act saying, quote, this shameful act of disrespect for the memory of

the victims of the holocaust must be unequivocally condemned and those responsible held accountable. president macron is urging parents to keep teenagers at home as violence spreads, and he claims that social media is playing a considerable role in the riots. really interesting case, it's actually things have gotten worse even since we've started trying to follow it a little bit on social media. the images certainly seem to be getting worse with every hour. will: yeah. i mean, it's a major libraries burning, as you just mentioned, the holocaust memorial destroyed, city blocks, there's images of people -- there's people walking down the street with, this is a major gun control country, and yet here are these people walking down the street, all types of firearms, weapons. it's really a dangerous situation in france. joey: and it leads to the question, i don't live there, we don't live there, we're not in tune to the nuance of it. who are the groups, what is their message outside of this incident that's happened. are they truly upset about this

incident, or is this a catalyst for other things? i do know after 2020 if you're in france, you know, buckle up because once the fires go out, the social disruption continues on. and as we know today, we're still reeling from what we allowed to happen for an entire summer under the guise of injustice. injustice does not make injustice correct. rachel: synagogues, churches also being attacked. this thing looks like it's upsetting. i'm looking forward to tomorrow, we're going to have an expert on to help us break this down so we can understand a little more deeply, because there's a lot of factors -- will: a lot of cultural issues, a lot of immigration issues. rachel: sure. france also had a defund police movement as well, so it'll be interesting to see how that has affected the response to this as well. so a lot of different angles. all right. we'll get more on that and talk more deeply about that tomorrow. turning now to the crisis at the southern border, here we see

video that shows border patrol agents cutting down razor wire in eagle pass, texas, appearing to let in a group of illegal border crossers including small children. border patrol tells fox news the actions were in line with, quote, the -- in line with the law, quote, saying that the the individuals had already crossed the rio grande from mexico. they were on u.s. soil and are subject to u.s. immigration laws. i think i told you, will, that i saw this personally. i saw border patrol lower razor wire and allow illegals to come across. texas law enforcement has these razor wire and other methods to try to stop the flow of illegal crossings. department of public safety say the razor wire in this video was on private property. who two of america's wealthiest states seeing tax revenue plunge as residents flee, the biggest hit coming in california with a nearly 25% drop in revenue. and in new york, falling more than 19.5%. meanwhile, republican-led states

like texas and florida are booming. tax revenue in texas jumping over 12% and 9% in florida. and pepsi is bringing a new maim to soda and hot dogs. the beverage company is introducing its first condiment called cola-chup. it'll be available on the fourth of july at select baseball stadiums. pepsi says it's part of hair better with -- their better with campaign. and we have some of it on set. will: you want somesome. joey: yeah. let me -- rachel: what is your assessment? will: i've already begun eating -- rachel: don't do it to the all of them. [laughter] will: well, you have to try it. joey: the whole point is the sauce. that's why we're doing it. [laughter] will: no, no, you've got to try it. rachel: come on, will. jee tastes like pepsi barbecue sauce. it tastes good, don't get me

wrong. rachel: actually the, it's not bad. joey: not bad at all. will: i literally, two minutes before i started eating this hot dog, said to myself i've got to get my diet in order. will: i didn't grab a rib from the if mclemore boys, i think i need to get out there and see them boys here in a minute. rachel: it's not bad. i was very skeptical concern. will: why would you try to get your diet in order before the fourth of july anyway? rachel: you remind me of my aunt lily who had a magnet on her refrigerator that said diet starts monday. [laughter] will: i'm like aunt lullly. the mclemore boys are on fox square. what's going on? >> we're supposed to be trying this hot dog as well to give you our honest opinions or our expert opinion on cola-chup. did i say that right?

um, the fact that the hot dog is is so amazingly smoked by me -- [laughter] will: you know what? rachel: it is amazing. will: i did notice they were smoked amazing. >> i'm like rachel. i actually think it's not bad. i went into it thinking, well, maybe not. but -- >> well, i tried it just separately, i just don't personally like pepsi. joey: i whoa, whoa, whoa, easy now. >> but the sauce, it has like -- it does have a pepsi aftertaste. will: you know what pete would do if he were here -- joey: what would he do? will: should i do it in honor of pete? [laughter] right in my mouth. rachel: that is so pete hegseth. oh, my gosh. >> i would do it too. i would say sauce is good, but it does taste like pepsi. joey: what do you drink with it? we need a pepsi. >> drink coke with it.

♪ joey: key details are emerging in the biden administration's handling of the chaotic 2021 withdrawal from afghanistan. the state department now reporting the mission lacked appropriate planning and response saying, quote, there was insufficient senior-level consideration of worst case scenarios and how quickly those might follow. retired army ranger and special forces operator tim kennedy was on the ground during afghanistan's collapse. he joins us now. good morning, tim. before we get started here, i want to play this for you, because i really want to know your reaction to this. this was president biden as he was asked yesterday about this report and were there mistakes.

>> all the evidence comes back to remember what i said about afghanistan? i said al-qaeda would not be there. i said it wouldn't be there. i said we'd get help from the taliban. what's happening now? what's going on? read your press. i was right. joey: i'm the, what's your reaction to that? -- tim, what's your reaction to that? >> i'm, honestly, speechless and i don't understand if it's just nonsensical ramblings, but every bad actor was there. the taliban were raping win in the -- well in the street, dumping magazines into crowds as forms of crowd control. so not even a month later we effectively did an assassination of high-level al-qaeda in kabul. so that makes no sense. he's obviously lying. and, you know, the timing of this release, the department of state after-action review on fourth of july weekend, you know, like, not really saying much. it's so disingenuous to the

american people, just another example of them trying to cover how horrible of a chaotic withdrawal that really was. joey: you often -- and it did not say much. it didn't say what you know, because you were there. but i just want to point out a couple. one it said they didn't sufficiently prepare for worst case scenario. we remember president biden saying, oh, they won't fall, trust me. i think that's almost his words verbatim in the week leading up to it. but also it says that the state department officials there had just changed over, and they had an opportunity to do a hardship stay so that they would stay knowing ones has been there for a year would stay so you'd have the most experienced people there k. and lastly one that's really important, they should have known not to the close the bagram air base, and we got all kinds of excuses on why that happened. we look at strategic, not just tactical, but strategic decisions, it almost likes -- looks like they were completely caught off guard. >> it's so bad. it's terrible. i mean, we know department of

state does not do anything that is hard. so the fact that there's not a person on ground that's going to stay under hardship to make sure that the withdrawal happens effectively, and and it wasn't just bagram, you know? service the also kandahar. we closed two of most strategic air bases that we had, and we left all of the equipment for the taliban. and then when the taliban came to kabul, hamid karzai airport, they were equipped with the best equipment that americans left there. and hen when hay started conducting terrorist -- then when they started kicking terrorist actions as we knew that they would, the taliban has never changed. the same taliban that existed prewar now exists even worse because now they're emboldened and empoweredded after this humiliating withdrawal. so, you know, even on page 86 another one that you didn't point out was they even pointed their fingers at groups like mine that was there helping -- [laughter] but we can't have enough -- we didn't have enough resources to be efficient. our chokepoint was them.

they were limiting our ability to be effective to get people out. joey: i spoke to a good friend who did something similar, and he said i've been places where i knew the u.s. government wouldn't help me, this was the first time where i felt like they were moving against me. i want to move on and talk about with afghanistan in mind and this news in mind, we're not getting people to join the military right now. this is from the "wall street journal", they're saying the military recruiting crisis ors end even veterans don't want their families to join as the pentagon scrambles to retain the main pipeline for new service members as disillusion families steer young people away. i don't know if i feel this way myself. i feel like our military is strong enough to survive bad leadership for a time, but i'd love your thoughts on this. >> it's hard. you know, as a power to four amazing, beautiful children, to who to of which are eligible by age to go into the military, you know, i don't know how i feel about them serving currently. i have been -- we, the military,

you know, we were lied to. hey, you have to take this vaccine, you have to do this or we're going to kick you out. then we fine out, okay, it didn't really help. matter of fact, for young, healthy people, they may even have more problems than that. you know, this aar by county of state is -- department of sate is not even add because 5 the dod aar about the withdrawal in afghanistan. twenty the years at war. we watched women handing babies like beach balls to be floated forward, people holding on to wheel wells and falling to their deaths. and then we have the dod and department the of state that are, like, no, no, no, it wasn't that bad. stop lying to us. that's not how leadership works. if i make a mistake, i'm going to look you in the face, man, i'm sorry, i messed up. let's fix this, let's do the together. but that's not happening because we don't have real leadership. even all the way to the very top people are the -- trying to the make a difference, but it is so hard when we get ramrodded

policies. joey: listen, tim, we're passionate about these policies. today we're celebrating the weekend of independence day, we're about to celebrate our independence day. do you have a quick message for everybody with that the in mind? >> yes. let's go back with, 1774, 1775. a tyrannical government was imposing things upon us that we did not want. we didn't say, ah, we didn't say hope and prayers, we didn't tweet two about it. we were strong and capable to fight back. we picked up arms and we pushed them off of this continent. that's what we did. let's not forget who we are at our core. enjoy your barbecue, enjoy the pool, duh don't -- but don't forget what it means to be an american. you have to be strong and you have to be free. joey: you risk your comforts of today to secure tomorrow. i hope there are a lot of americans that would. tim kennedy, thank you for your service, thanks for joining. >> thank you, sir. joey: coming back up, we're checking back in with metal art in wisconsin and our finished

the supreme court ruled, but i'm going to biden's press conference, he gave the example of the poor kid that's making $60,000 a year, and is asking for $10,000 in loan forgiveness. well, i was making $50,000 as a salary, and i live in one of the most expensive cities in the u.s., and i was able to the put money aside each month to pay off my hones. this rhetoric that somehow we're not able to pay back our loans is completely false. the real victims are the american taxpayers who chose not to go to college that are going to be paying the debt of people who could be making up to $125,000 if biden has his way. and note that that that's over double the salary that biden used as an example of who would be getting forgiveness under his plan. rachel: yeah. or people who paid their loans back, and they're going, nobody offered that to me. cara, how do you feel about the decision? >> well, i actually agree with the supreme court's decision.

i do believe that the overall statement of the arguments was that the power of the purse lies with congress. and this really kind of shows just how much of a balance of power we have in our constitution and how much they really upheld it, and i agree with that completely. if congress really does want to forgive student loan debt, they have the power to do so, and they can use their power. however, our congressional representatives must if act on behalf of the will of their constituents. so this is opportunity for their constituents to come forward and say whether or not they would like student loan forgiveness, and i personally do not agree with that. i really hope that congress does not move forward with continuous efforts to forgive student loan debt because me as well as other dependents of veteran, i got my college education for free at a very significant cost. in california we have a cal vet fee waiver program which tuition is covered for 100 service-connected veterans.

my mother had endured 12 years of physical and sexual abuse with while in the navy, and she suffered a miscarriage from nuclear radiation, and because of that she was deemed 100% service-connected. and because i depended on her, i got my tuition covered. rachel: right. >> now, because i understood the gravity of my education and how much it actually cost, i valued it a lot more, and i wanted to maximize my grants. so i pursued in-state tuition, hoe ored my costs -- lowered my costs. and because i chose to change my major and stay at school an extra year, i only had to take out one year. i'm very fortunate and grateful to my mother for her 12 the years of service, but i don't think that i should have to pay for other people's decisions to pursue expensive degrees -- rachel: right. >> and also i agree with kate. there are people who did not choose to go to the college because, surprise-surprise, college is not -- rachel: it's the expensive. >> -- for everyone, and we have to stop acting like it is. rachel: kate, i would say the

biden administration obviously did this, made this decision to pursue loan forgiveness because they thought it would be popular with young people. many general with your friends -- in general with your friends and other young people you know, is this something they're for in are you two ladies the exception? >> well, what i've heard from a lot of people is that they haven't even considered how heavier going to repay hair student -- they haven't even considered how they're going to repay their debt, but the reason is because we have politicians promising to forgive $10,000 or more. i dwrawpted many 2020, and we haven't had to pay back our loans, we haven't had interest accruing. so a lot of individuals are completely unprepared. rachel: yeah. >> what they should be doing is, like you said, i paid back $17,000 of my student debt, but that's what's not being talked about, is there's so many individuals who have the ability to continue paying back their loan, but they're choosing not to because we're having public political officials making -- rachel: yeah. telling you, you don't have to

the, telling you you're a victim and, you know, poor you. the other thing it's not addressing, by the way, ladies, is the underlying cost of higher education which is outrageous. and this is going to do nothing, forgiving loans, to bring those costs down. i love talking to young people who are so financially responsible as you. i hope the rest of your generation takes note, and hay certainly might just have to, because the supreme court has now saidst the unconstitution aal to forgive those -- unconstitutional to the forgive those loans. kiara, kate, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you. rachel: will? will: thank you, or rachel. mice job. we begin your headlines with this, if you're traveling this holiday weekend, you're going to have plenty of company, 43.2 million americans are expected to hit the road, jumping more than 2 from last year. aaa reports gas prices are down nearly 27%, currently at $3.54 per gallon. and here's a live look at lax airport where traffic is already
