alicia: millions of americans will take to the sky this week it would travel numbers predicted to reach record levels. recent flight distractions are raising concerns about the airline industry ability to cope with the surge. welcome to fox news live i am alicia acuna. griff: great to be with you. and it packed your patients tens of thousands of flights were either canceled or delayed throughout this week. airline officials say they have taken measures to prepare for

the july 4 rushford senior correspondent steve harrigan is alive at jackson airport in the lancet with the length of the holiday travel surge. how is it looking, steve? >> and griff, from this vantage point record numbers were there during a very good job of dealing with so far as you can see behind me the alliance about a 10 minute wait from 20 minutes earlier this morning. 17.7 million americans we find this week on the fourth of july here in atlanta the busiest estate -- date has been friday pre-tsa screen more than 100,000 people that topped a record since 2019 day after the super bowl, numbers are up across the country 11%. and really, higher since pre-pandemic levels. right here in atlanta about one had a 70 flight delays across the nation as many as 2000 delayed. officials continue to warn passengers, try to get to the airport at least three hours early. airports are going to be a

challenge. parking from the moment you arrive to getting bag checks through security's going to be a challenge all day and all weekend. >> i have never seen someone people at the airport. i've been traveling for years i'm from the caribbean. i have never seen it like this never ever. folks are a lot of people there is some stress as well some the biggest snags outside the airport traffic jams on the way in. tough to find a parking space, griff. seafort last question follow-up are people being cordial? are they handling the large numbers i was to see a little bit of patience running out? >> that's a good question. what i want to hear this morning saw the lines bending around the building, i was worried that people seem to have so far good spirits. they know it there in four and so far we are seeing patients in good humor. folks all right live in atlanta, thank you steve. coming up later this hour we'll get a closer look at the fourth of july travel rush and how

disruptions and delays could impact your travel plans mark murphy stay tuned. >> thanks griff. president biden sounding off in the supreme court shutting down his plan to forgive billions of dollars in student loan debt. the president is vowing to find another way to forgive the debt. alexandria hoff's life at the white house tracking the latest developments. >> the biden administration has framed these close out rulings this week as an attack on progress. the attack on progress they were trying to make before it departed for camp david yesterday president biden revealed a plan b in terms of his loan forgiveness, take a listen. >> a new path is legally sound. it's going to take longer in my view it's the best path that remains to providing for as many as possible without relief. i'm directing my team to move as quickly as possible. >> the president said this will be done to the higher education act. claiming it was a section of

education to wait a release loans under certain circumstances. the details of that a little hazy at this point it's likely to face the same legal challenges as those that resulted in the supreme court wiping out the president original $440 billion relief plan the majority fighting it was not lawful under the 2003 heroes act. republicans like house speaker kevin mccarthy praised the decision of writing president biden student loan giveaway is ruled on lawful for the 80% of americans without student loans are no longer forced to pay for the 13% who do. now, previously present by himself and expressed doubt he had the authority to take such action on hide loans. did the president give borrowers false hope? >> i did not give any false h hope. the question was whether or not i would do even more that was requested. what i did i thought was appropriate and was able to be done and would get done. i did not give false hope but the republicans snatched away

the help they were given and it is real, real hope. >> the democrats also record strongly to yesterday's other ruling for the court's conservative majority ruled in favor of colorado web designer laurie smith determining the state protect her right to refuse making certain expressive content. in this case lgbtq related. >> today is certainly a day of victory. not just for me but for all americans the court has affirmed the government cannot force anyone to say something it does not believe. certainly worthy of celebration. >> 's comments on the heels of this week's other monumental sig affirmative action for that prompted the president to call the high court not normal. ask alexandria hoff life at the white house, thank you. >> the supreme court handing down a slew of major decisions this week is alexandria just covered but for a closer look what these cases mean, joining us is a jonathan adler a law

professor case worker university. thank you. let's go right into it. you can see this is six -- three split. we can't put. the liberal judges, alana and of course the six conservative justices led by chief justice john roberts. it was in the three cases as alexandria it laid out the student loan forgiveness case lgbtq case of colorado the affirmative action case this court ruled that way. before you get into the details of the court itself we are already seeing headlines, jonathan this conservative court the roberts court is remaking american society and its conservative view of the world. what you say to that? >> i think those claims if they are not true. if you look at the behavior of the supreme court since world war ii, the roberts court overturns prior precedents, modifies prior precedents and strikes down legislation enactment less often than the

war court did. less often. in terms of looking how often the court is changing the law and that sort of way or rejecting what legislators do, this court is far less active in changing the law than its predecessors were. griff: let's go to the most recent one that is the student loan debt. the court essentially ruling saying that no, the executive branch does not have congress' power of the purse. you can see some history we have here on the screen. what do you of this ruling? >> this ruling is one of his series of rulings where the court has emphasized executive branch has the power that congress enacts and gives to the executive branch. the president does not get to just create a student loan program or student loan forgiveness program on his own. but rather the executive branch of the department of education executes the law congress annexed. just like we sought a big environmental case last term,

the court is reminding both congress and the president that congress annexed a source of laws the president then gets to implement them. it is one thing to make slight modifications about what sorts of forms you submit or when they are due. it is quite another to literally remake the entire program in order to create $400 billion of the debt relief. griff: jonathan was so president biden yesterday saying he believes the court misinterpreted the constitution on this case. they are going for plan b. we do not know what plan b is going to look like. but do you believe possibly if they attempt another version of what they did here perhaps in a more narrow scope that would be challenged in courts as well? >> it really depends on how they do it. when the department of education had delayed when payments were due and had a pause the accumulation of interest, those weren't challenged. a more narrowly targeted plan

that uses clear authority that congress has enacted might well withstand a challenge. as the president has also acknowledged doing alternative routes requires going through a greater administrative process than we saw here. that creates the opportunity both for people to raise concerns about the plan as well as for the government to make sure what they are doing is legal. it's more irregular use of executive power than what we saw with this plan. griff: let's go to the case of the web designer in colorado sin that case. i believe was a dissent on that. thank essentially this ruling now gives businesses license to discriminate against lgbtq fo folks. what is your reaction to this ruling? what set the misreading of this case. this case involved a web designer someone credit web content. something we all recognize is expressive activity. the activity covered by the first amendment your newspaper a

blog. what the court said is the government cannot compel somebody engaged in that sort of activity to communicate or express a point of view or a perspective that they do not agree with. she cannot discriminate against who hires her. someone contacts her to create a website she cannot say no i do not like you or i do not like some characteristic about you. she has merely been given the right to say i am not going to create a message, create form of expression that violates my beliefs prevents a court first amendment protection against compelled speech. i think that's really all the court did in this case. before the scotch of the affirmative action case clearly when the most consequential of the roberts court so far, your thoughts? >> is a very big case. very big decision here with the court essentially did here i say

that the white universities like harvard and the university of north carolina and a lot of universities, the way they are using race goes too far. it has negative consequences for many applicants in particular asian applicants. in the court said that is just not compatible with prior precedent on either the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment for title vi of the civil rights act. and that it is one thing to look at applicants as individuals and look at their experiences and their background and to see if that is something you want at your university. which make broad generalizations about applicants based on their race the court held is not consistent with prior precedent and not consistent with federal statutes for the constitution. griff: the last case i wouldn't touch on before we run out of time you can see the court was nine -- zero on the postal worker who simply believe it was against his religious beliefs to force him to work on sundays.

nine -- zero did they get it right? let's i think they did. this case there was some language in a prior court decision that had suggested anything more than de minimis employer has to do as an excuse not to accommodate an employee's religious practices and religious faith. the court basically said looking at the contact some of the losses lower courts have over interpreted that language. employers can be expected to take reasonable steps to accommodate their religious beliefs and their employees in this case it was an employee that did not want to work on sunday. this will apply to people of all religious faiths. basically restores the underlying principle that employers can be expected to take reasonable steps. if it's a really costly combination and the employer does not have to do that. griff: professor jonathan have a great insight is always professor thanks for taking the time and have a great weekend regards my pleasure you two.

alicia: officials in los angeles and reporting a 10% spike in homelessness despite their spending efforts to manage the crisis. christina coleman is live in l.a. with the latest on this ongoing problem, hi christina. >> hi alicia. it's not hard to see the raging homelessness crisis here in southern california. especially in los angeles with this lots of people living in tents along the streets you have trash spilling out into the r road. we have lots of people living in parked rvs all in business areas like this. take a look is at least five of them just all around me right now. take a look at this video. this photo i shot of a print out rb that homeless people lived in just outside of the grocery store parking lot in venice last weekend. fortunately the people and it survived. it is a snapshot of the huge problem here. even though billions of dollars are being spent on the areas homeless crisis it is getting worse. new numbers from the l.a. homeless service authority show

there is a 9% rise over last year in homelessness on any given night in l.a. county for an estimated 75000 people in the city of l.a. at 10% increase in homelessness. estimated 46000 people. the city and county recently declared several homeless emergencies in an effort to cut down on the time it takes to get a person off the streets and into the shelter. mayor karen bass recently proposed $1.3 billion of at least $13 billion budget to fund inside same homeless program protocols for the city to ultimately purchase hotels and motels for housing. it is just one of the ways she wants to address this big issue. >> may also have to figure out how to prevent people from falling into homelessness. so frankly, with all we are doing now i'm worried next to the count might be even larger because we do not have a way of preventing homelessness.

>> governor gavin dissent is well aware of this ongoing crisis. he calls it a disgrace is more than any previous administration. >> i got there is half a billion dollars. not involved homeless issue. we got involved. again multilayered issue. not going to be easy to solve a lot of people suffering from substance abuse issues having trouble fording homes in the high cost of living around here. it's incredibly comic it as well especially to address christina comment live in los angeles, thank you. >> hunter biden's attorney going on the attack on the explosive interviews with two irs whistleblowers involved in his clients investigation miss information but we will take a closer look next. urn + sleep su. love food back and fall asleep faster.

the entire process from start to finish is built on one concept... one... keep... it... simple. rosland capital - a trusted leader in helping people acquire precious metals. he libr

was not investigated properly because of political biases. in a strongly worded letter hunter's lawyer says the whistleblower statements are misinformation. and it meant as an attack on the president. for more than this by mark sm

smith. he is attorney at senior plum public policy at king's college. mark, thank you so much for being here. before we get started let's go back for a minute here and take a listen to irs whistleblower who told talk to bret baier and told him the most fundamental felony charges were left off the table, take a listen. >> is there criminal implications and what you were investigating when it comes to hunter biden? >> oh, absolutely. the most substantive felony charges were left off the table which would have been what? >> which would have been invasion for 14 false return for 18 and 2019. separately for 2018. the true number is $580,000 of the failure to pay for 2017 and 620,000 for 2018. yet this document puts a close to 100,000. alicia: mark, as you know the attorney general said the d.o.j. did not interfere in this

investigation what is your read on this? >> the first thing i have noticed is if you look at the comments from the various united states attorneys from around the country that were involved with the specifically the u.s. attorney for delaware, they are really corroborating the story the statement of merrick garland the attorney general they had the authority to do it needed to be done. that is number one. the second thing you got to keep in mind is july 26. that is the critical date in the life of hunter biden. that is the date the plea deal that is been struck with the department of justice has to be approved by united states district court judge in delaware. i think a lot of what is going on here now is just trying to get from hunter biden side at least to get to that date. get through that date. get that plea deal done and signed off by federal judge so all of this can be put behind him. i think that is why hunter biden's attorneys are concerned about anything that could alter

that dynamic. instantly the discussion of the whistleblowers has the potential to alter that dynamic. and potentially secure up from their perspective a plea deal. we'll see what happens on july 26 that the tea gate if you're hunter biden hunter biden's lawyers. alicia: you have this 10 page letter that was sent by hunter biden's attorney this is a scathing 10 pages if you take a look at it. in one part he's accusing the gop chair of the house ways and means committee, representative republican jason smith and also accusing congressional republicans a "obsessed with attacking the biden family. it goes on and goes after the irs agents who are whistleblowers themselves reading apart the timing of the agents it leaks in subsequent decision to release their statements do not seem innocent. they came shortly after there is a public filing indicating the disposition of the five-year investigation of mr. biden. to any objective your actions

were intended to improperly undermine the judicial proceedings that have been scheduled in the case. your release of this selective set of false allegations was an attempt to score a headline in a news cycle for facts. is that fair? >> again, you have to laser focus on the perspective of the federal judges would hear this case later in july. the judge does not have to just randomly take a plea deal between the department of justice and the defendant they are allowed to ask questions, look into how this came about. whether it is fair and so on. i could see a situation where as a sitting federal court judge they might want to get more information about how the steel came about. with that said i do think it's all about hunter biden's lawyers trying to keep that date set and trying to keep as many distractions from being felt by that process. of course we have to keep in mind because sure last name is

invited, there is a political component to this as separate apart from the legal process. and of course it is no doubt there's going to be political ramifications to matter what happens on july 26. from the lawyers perspective their goal is just to get hunter biden through that court date and be done with it. and then they can tilt any political ramifications which at the end of the day is really joe biden's problem and not hunters. david: i was going after congressional republicans help move things forward and keep the heat off of their clients? >> obviously they felt the need to respond to some of the things coming out of the house republicans. if i were the attorney for hunter biden what i would try to do is say that anyone attacking my client was a politically motivated. and it is the sort of thing an attorney would do in the context of representing his client. i think framing this up to say well, if you are in front of a judge on july 26 representing hunter biden you are going to be able to say any attacks on this

deal are all motivated politically it's a partisan hit job we disagree with that. and again if i were the lawyer for hunter biden that's kind of the sort of thing i'll be looking to say. when he gets the court on july 26. alicia: and paulie gee's did say they were not allowed to ask questions or probe any to any connection with joe biden. >> there is tension within the department of justice when you tilt these kinds of investigations. just objectively speaking out specific to the hunter biden case. you often have investigators for the irs or the sec or whatever it is. they are trying to figure out a case. then they present that case to prosecute or specifically the attorney's office. at the end of the day it's up to the attorney's office whether or not to charge a particular defendant. the end of the day no matter how hard investigators work at the end of the day in our system at least it is up to the prosecutors to make this final judgment calls but keep in mind sometimes going after people for

more serious charges takes up a lot more resources than trying to get a quick plea deal. here the whole thing could be over on july 26. but, if they were going to charge hunter biden with all sorts of felonies, that could be a multiyear process and a huge multi- month trial. it is not unusual for the department of justice and other cases to recognize the use of resources, may be better spent on other cases. that said you're dealing with the son of the president, you have to be very sensitive to the appearance of fairness. that is where i think there is a lot of problems in the situation. how was his appearing to be fair given the totality what's going on in the press and some of the reporting that's going on associated with this matter? alicia: mark smith thank you for joining us have a happy fourth. >> thank you. look up what's ukraine's counteroffensive is creeping ahead. ukraine military officials say the effort is made harbored by

firepower's correspondent is live with the latest. as we near the 500 day as we near the invasion. >> it is hard to believe 500 days of war. today it was another nasty one. residential area was hit by russian artillery from the already battered city homes were destroyed, civilian casualties, men, women, children were hurt on this. in prior days prior to that era. in a stuffy chair of the joint chiefs of staff general milley the innocent battlefield assessment nap summer counteroffensive against deliberate and steady difficult slow and bloodied. this was a time hoping to take advantage of distraction and the regime of vladimir putin following last week's failed coup. parliament told us that was short-lived. the horrors of the russian attacks go on. take a listen.

officials do not want your input? do not care about what you have to say? >> that is how it appears. the amount of protest and yet they are still keeping active. it is a must and is our constitutional, it is a freedom of religions. this is what the country is about. so, we are here. we abide by the constitution. three of my kids are in the mcps right now. one of them must write out serving the marines fighting for the freedom of the country. so this is just not right. the kids need to be taught in school. but the same teaching they got in school they need to get values and their parents at h home. griff: thank you for your daughter in the marines.

an outright bigots. however the folks who have talked here today i would not put in the same category as those folks. although it is again complicated their folly on the same site of the issue. griff: how do you feel when she equates to two white supremacists? you a white supremacists? >> look at me i do not look like one. but it is okay. we are going with the same issue. the issue to deal with the opting out. we are sharing with the white supremacist, okay. we went this our main goal. with all due respect. griff: do you believe it is inappropriate and unfair to compare parents like yourself who care about what your children are taught to be lumped in with a blanket of white supremacy? >> it is not fair.

all we need is opt out. very simple. it is our right, it is about our constitutional rights. there's about 1000 people what they are choosing, protesting. the right to be reinstated. it is crazy not to give it to us. griff: thank you for being here today. hopefully it montgomery county public school administrators are listening and watching this today. and i understand there's more possible legal recourse. we will continue to file this and bring it to our viewers as it develops great thank you for being here sir. >> and government for having me. alicia: riots in france are forcing officials to deploy thousands of police officers to the streets the country has been rocked by a wave of protest after a 17-year-old was shot by police in a suburb of paris earlier this week. ryan chilcote is live with more on this.

>> alicia, france has deployed 45000 police officers to the streets of paris and some of the countries other big cities. its attempts to deal with this violence that has now extended into a fifth day. the police say they have arrested more than 2400 people. that is since tuesday on arm 17 a boy was shot dead during which looks like a routine traffic stop. where than half of the 2400 arrested were made just last night. the result the police say the intensity of the violence has fallen. even still more than 200 police officers have been injured since this began. looters meanwhile have ransacked hundreds of stores. notably an apple store on friday. a gun shop last night. meanwhile, hundreds turned out for the boy's funeral said in a suburb of paris. the boys name he is of algerian

and moroccan dissents. something that has added not unlike a div the killing of george floyd. eyewitness said he hit the accelerator by accident in his car after he was hit in the head by the policeman the lawyer for the policeman who is under arrest 70 went to shoot the boy that leg not the chest but slipped when the car jolted forward. all this was captured on camera. president macomb cancel a trip to germany he faces a twin challenges of addressing concerns about police bias and violence and the need to restore order and do it fast the concern of course is what happens tonight. the fifth night. the violence so far has been limited to the suburbs of paris and some other big cities. it has not been in the kind of places that tourists tend to that is how the police hope to keep it on this fifth night.

2022. it was a rough week. are the airlines going to be able to handle this? >> they are demonstrating on a daily basis they are not able too. this has been a consistent issue since the surgeon travel started almost two years ago. there's a lot of pent up demand. the airlines during covid basically gave a lot of pilots and crews the ability to retire early to cut their costs despite getting money to keep flying and keep employees. so they did that. the government then came in let's institute these vaccine mandates. at on top of people quitting before because of covid, now they are quitting because of the fact they do not want to get vaccinated. and then you go and say what else is going on? you have complete mismanagement in terms of scheduling crews et cetera. while we know for about 15 years we've been talking about a shortage. when you add it altogether it is

a calamity of heirs it's like keystone cops. i've been involved in covering the travel industry for 30 years. i have never seen such a disaster in terms of management. we are talk about decades with airlines going bankrupt left and right. they are so poorly managed. the idea that you're going to force these vaccines on pilots in many cases are getting checkups every six months have to be in top health to be allowed to fly. many of them are like why do i need to get this? because of the mandates they sit either going to get it or they're going to quit. i just got off the phone with an employee from united who clarified a few interesting things for me that i would like to share with you. because scott kirby was one of the biggest proponents and bragging to the president we will get everybody vaccinated, we are 98%. he did not talk about all the people who decided to leave he did not talk about the issues i was going to present. now you have crews. go ahead.
