al sand -- alexandria hoff with the latestest on all of this. >> reporter: so the president tried to the use the 2003 heroes act as a route to usher in this loan forgiveness plan. of course, the supreme court shot that down yesterday. now biden administration is looking at something called the higher education act as a means to the become a plan b. >> we're not going to waste any time on this. we're getting moving on it -- it's going to take longer, but we're getting at it right away. >> reporter: president sd the higher education act will allow the secretary the of education to waive or release are loans under certain circumstances. very few details on how or why this route could work, and it's likely to face the the same legal challenges. as part of a joint statement released yesterday, republican senator bill cassidy wrote, quote: president biden's sunt loan scheme is still illegal and does not forgive department, but with instead ares it to to those who willingly took on the debt

to those who never went to college or sacrificed to the pay their student loans. the president was asked this ye- >> reporter: did you overstep your authority? >> i think the court misinterpreted the constitution. >> reporter: the president expressed similar decision for thursday's decision, blasting the ruling as coming from, quote, not a normal court. and heavy criticism from the democrats for the high court's other 6-3 ruling, in favor of a colorado web designer determining that the constitution protects her right to the refuse making certain expressive content, in this case it was lgbtq-related. the white house feels this decision invites discrimination but did acknowledge that the ruling only pertained to original, express we've designs that would come not from goods and services sold. republicans argue that this outcome upholds the protections of free speech, griff. griff: alex, a remarkable job of

maintaining composure and not being distracted from what sounds like there could be some protesters or activists outside. i don't want to put you on the spot, do we have any idea, is that related to supreme court rulings? >> reporter: we've been trying to figure that out. there's some dueling megaphones going on making it hard to figure out what the crux of it at all is. at this point, no, i don't know exactly what these protests are over. they could be something completely random or relevant. griff: you never know what's going to show up, and it's a fourth of july weekend hear in washington, alexandria of, thank you very much. alicia? alicia: she's a total pro. for more on the fallout from these major supreme court decisions, let's bring in our political panel. joining us today is garrett mentry and al noter, a partner at brine steven, harbor schleck are. gentlemen, we appreciate it we're going to begin by pulling up some polling. fox news has done some polling,

one obviously done prior to these decisions coming down. this is where fox news asks registered voters if they have or lack confidence in the supreme court. now, you can see since 2017 we see a drop of 35% of people who have confidence in the court and lacking at 52%. garrett, if you look at the timeline there, 2017-2023, that's a conservative court at work. does this concern you? >> i mean, i think there's a couple reasons why. i think a few reasons. number one is i think there's a basic misunderstanding of the role of the supreme court and what they do. i think a lot of folks think they're a political body who should do what politics or popularity wants, they're not. it's nine justices who are supposed to follow law and the facts and do what the law requires even if it's not popular or the politically-motivated decision of the time. i think the second part is there's usually a media frenzy

of these 6-3 cases. what's not mentioned is the vast majority are 9-0 or the term another very interesting factoid is that they have been 7-2 where a liberal justice has joined conservative line. so that doesn't get talked about enough. obviously, these blockbuster cases when it's abortion, religious liberty, affirmative action are going to garner a lot of attention, and those are going to be high stakes, blockbuster cases. i understand that. i do think specifically on these two cases when you're looking at affirmative action, for example, on the harvard and umc admissions -- umc admissions case, you had one racial group had a lower standard to get in and another racial group, specifically asian-american, had a higher standard based on their race. i think that's wrong, and the supreme court was right to step in. on student loan forgiveness one, this is last thing i'll say, you saw chief roberts and nancy pelosi saying joe biden did not

have this authority, so if he wants to do this, he's going to have to go with a legislative solution, not just by executive fiat. alicia: alan, a chance to respond. >> thanks. the court is making more political decisions. the decision on dobbs last year, the decision just yesterday on public accommodation and whether or not someone can claim a belief against gay marriage and, therefore, not provide public services, both of those decisions reverse prior precedent. go back to 1968, people said, well, i don't want to serve a black man and a white woman coming into my restaurant. that was unconstitutional and a public accommodation. that's why the court is losing trust, because they are going back on rule of law that they had established over the decades. and so it's no surprise to me. alicia: we do need to move on also to 2024 the, and we'll see how all this plays out over next year or so.

i want to point you to this quinnipiac poll taken last month of pennsylvania registered voters. now, this is a hypothetical match-up between current president and the former president. and if to you take a look at numbers here, this is a toss-up. you've got former president trump at 47%, joe biden at 46%. al, i will begin with you, how much does this concern you? >> not really much at all. i think that we have, we are in good position. it's a long way away. president obama polling in 2011 didn't look so good. in -- i mean, looked bad in 2011, wasn't so bad in 2012 when he won reelection. i think a similar dynamic will play out here. frankly, i'd love nothing more than the president to get to run against donald trump. his troubles are only getting worse in the court, so that would be a great match-up on our side. alicia: but as you know, the former president's troubles with the court, with every indictment

his popularity has been increasing. garrett, i'll give you a chance. >> i think we would both agree that donald trump is completely dominating. he's up 30 points in your fox news poll, and it's not just his popularity in the republican primary, voters who think he can beat joe biden, he's up 30 there and on the policy issues. i think joe biden is weakest incumbent we've ever had. even 43% of democrats are questioning his stamina, his age, those types of things, and 50% of democrats in other polls not wanting him to run again. so joe biden ooh's got big problems. you can't find a poll where people approve of his policy, agenda or presidency, so a state like pennsylvania, i agree that we're still 15, 16 months from an election here, but there's a lot of warning signs for joe biden and his weakness going into a -- >> i mean, look -- alicia: i'll give you just a second if you just give me a second. i want to put up the fox news

poll, to garrett's point, donald trump at 56%. the the nearest contender, 22%, ron desantis. before you respond there, al, garrett, i do want the point out, you know, we have these indictments coming, that have come for the former president and possibly more on the way. this latest one out of mar-a-lago, it's not nothing. >> that's right. >> certainly, i think if you look at here there's a clear double standard here, right? joe biden had documents in his garage in his time as vice president and senator. presidential records act did not apply to him, he had no declassification authority. i think the clear case is a 2010 case by judge berman with the clinton sock drawer case here, and it was about the presidential records act. president clinton the had eight years of recordings stored in his drawer talking military strategy and national security. that judge ruled that he had the authority to have that. and so you're seeing a double standard with joe biden, with hillary clinton and, again, donald trump under the

presidential records act, that actually applied to him, and we have a standard with judge bearman, an obama-appointed judge -- alicia: alan, go ahead. >> this is why people have no faith in their institutions anymore, because people on the republican side climb that any prosecution of trump is somehow inappropriate or inconsistent. we have to go back to let the courts be the courts, let prosecutors be prosecutors and let the facts take us with finish where they take us. not every case is the same, and it's not inconsistent to have some audiotapes versus obstructing justice which is what happened here. inn liver and -- alicia: and i am out of time. thanks for being here today. have a good one. and tomorrow on "fox news sunday," shannon bream has exclusive interviews with republican presidential candidate nikki haley as well as congressman jake of coursen claus. set your dvr if you want to watch it later or check your local listings for the time and channel.

in philadelphia, laying out his education platform. let's get a look at some of what he had to say. >> we are hungry for a cause. we are hungry for purpose. and meaning. and identity. at a time in our national history when the things that used to fill that void -- faith, patriotism, hard work, family -- these things have disappeared. that leaves a black hole in its wake, a moral vacuum. and when you have a black hole that runs that deep, that is when the poison begins to fill the void. wokism, transgenderrism, climatism, covid-ism, depression, anxiety, drug usage,

suicide. you think it's a coincidencing that we see the rise of these same secular cults and insecurities at the same time. it is not. they are symptoms of a deeper void, a deeper hunger, a keeper national identity crisis that we're in today. and i tell you today, that is our opportunity as a conservative movement to the now level up. to do more than i have even been doing. thank you, tiffany, i appreciate the mention of those three books. there i was pointing out the problem. phase of my life, you have to be able to see the problem with clear eyes. but this is our moment as conservatives, as liberty-oriented americans to now level up and fill that void with a vision of american national identity that runs so

deep that it dilutes the woke agenda to irrelevance. that is how we win. [applause] yeah, somebody my age -- can. [laughter] what does it mean to be an american today? you get a blank stare in response. that's the vacuum. and it is our job to fill that void with something more meaningful than what the left does. i will give them credit for this, the left is very good at this. they will fill that void with a vision of identity. race, gender, sexuality, climate. for too long we've been complacent, pointing out all of the endless hypocrisies with that vision of human identity. but what we need to do now is offer our own vision. if they feed our kids race, gender, sexuality and climate, i want us to start talking more about individual. alicia: gop presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy

peeking in philadelphia. and, griff -- speaking in philadelphia. talking education, talking identity politics. you know, parental rights definitely going to be in the ballot box next year. griff: yeah, alicia. vivek talks about conservatives are hungry for a cause, and this theme he has hit on numerous times in recent weeks when he's speaking about this lack of a national identity for conservatives. and he's clear-spoken. that's what we saw this week in our latest fox news poll, vivek swami -- ramaswamy in third place, a far cry from the former are president donald trump who's at 56%, but it's clear or that his message is being heard by many. of alicia is? alicia: absolutely, give. -- griff. griff: meanwhile, i got to talk with the man who's been america's border chief who is now stepping down from the job. roh wiewl ortiz, that

♪ griff: the flow of my migrants across our southern border is one of the biggest issue the biden administration has faced, and some have questioned the president's policies. there is no doubt the men and women protecting our border are

instrumental to to our nation's security. chief raul ortiz has proudly led those men and women for nearly two years, but he is now handing over the reins to jason owens. i had a chance to catch chief ortiz ahead of his retirement yesterday. i want to a talk about your reflections, but first, let's talk about the latest numbers. we just got numbers in may, down a little bit but still over 200,000. is therd border secure? how to do you see it? >> so i will tell you that based upon my projections as of today, i expect june to the finish up with about 90,000 apprehensions for the whole country. and we haven't seen those types of numbers since 2020. and so both the gotaway numbers are down, our apprehension numbers are down, that means that i'm able to deploy more agents out on patrol, out on those front lines and have is less agents processing in our

processing facilities. griff: we're at 125 that hit this terror south korean database. we hear a lot about -- terror screen database. is it concerning to you. >> anytime we apprehend individuals that are on our terror screening database, it's always a concern especially if they're trying to cross in between the ports of entry. i will tell you this, that more often than not most of those individuals are associated with the farc out of colombia, so we have to continue to identify who they are prior to them arriving into this country, and we work closely with our partners in mexico and central america and other countries. i have have agents deployed all across this hemisphere making sure that we're doing everything we can to crease those threats before i think make it to our border. and i do think we're doing a pretty good job when we do identify them, turning them over to the joint terrorism task forces so we can run check, prosecute and return them whenever we possibly can. griff: you mentioned mexico.

they're a big part of this. are they doing enough? if what can you say about their cooperation? some. >> i would tell you that the level of cooperation and coordination we have with the government of mexico has never been better. we continue to work closely with them. when we see the spikes in migration in certain areas, we're able to deploy resources, they're able to deploy resource, and we do what we call mirror patrols. it isn't just patrolling on our side or their side, we do joint patrol, and we go after the criminal organizations, smuggling organizations, and if we can't prosecute them, hopefully they can on their side of the border. griff griff you mentioned the expiration of title 42. that must be one of the biggest challenges you faced in your term as chief. what are the lessons learned now afterwards and how do you reflect on them? >> title 42 the was a tool, and it was a tool that we were able to leverage early on during the covid environment, and we leveraged it quite extensively. but towards the end, a lot of people didn't realize we didn't

have to to the same degree as when covid first started. about 4-15% of the -- 14-15% were being processed for title 42. we only had to convert x amount of that population to our normal title viii processing. griff: and as you look back on your term as chief, what other moments stand out as pivotal moments, big challenges? >> so, you know, certainly covid was probably one of the things that not just awe affected the border patrol, but affected this whole country and the nation. but when you think about the flow of migration into the western hemisphere, that was certainly a huge, you know, issue that we had to tackle collectively. crisis situations that certainly happened under my watch, but it was something that collectively we as an organization, as our partners, i think we managed as well as we possibly could considering the circumstances. griff: you mentioned del rio and there's a silhouette of a bpa on

a horse behind you. a dark moment, perhaps, in the way that horse patrol incident was handled. how do you reflect on it now? >> so one of the things i was able to do this last week, griff, is i went to south texas, and i was able to ride with that horse patrol unit last thursday. and we spent six or seven hours out there on patrol. and i can tell you that they're as resilient and as strong a group of agents as i've ever met, and i couldn't be prouder of the way they handled themselves immediately after that event and up to this point. and they've had my full support there from the onset. i accepted full responsibility during that event because i was a senior official on the ground. and even to this day accept full responsibility for that event. griff: you mentioned 32 years. your first day of watch, may 13th, 1991, san diego sector. what does the guy standing here today, what would he say to to that young man in 1991?

>> you know, anything's possible. when i started in the border patrol, i never e envisioned that i would make it to the highest levels and the highest ranks of our organization. but to every border patrol agent out there, to every kid that grew up in a border community, you know, if you set your mind to it, anything's possible. griff: last question. all of americans are aware of the threat that the mexican cartels have control of the drugs, the fentanyl, the human trafficking. are we doing enough to combat cartels? what's your advice going forward? >> no, certainly, i don't think we're doing enough. criminal organizations, the mexican cartels, they have deep pockets, they have no rules. and when they impact the border communities, the border states, they impact communities and states throughout this whole country. and so we've got to look at a this as a national problem.

if we didn't learn anything from 9/11, that we we can't do it alone, with we have to work together. and i think collectively if we do that, we can take the fight to them and put them back on their heels. griff: 32 years of service mt. border patrol, alicia. it was an honor to spend time with chief ortiz and get to talk to him in that exclusive interview at border patrol headquarters here in washington. and i'll tell you one thing is for sure, he proved to his men and women throughout the tumultuous times -- and, remember, they do not make the policies, they carry out the orders -- he was a steady hand at the wheel and had the agents' best with interests at heart. and i think they'll miss him as he leaves now. alicia: that was a great conversation, griff. and the man who's going to the try to fill his shoes, jason owens who's head of the delery yes sector, he has a big job ahead of him as well. but he really caught the attention of the dhs when back in september of 2021 when we saw the 15,000 haitian immigrants

seeking asylum here in the united states gathered under that bridge. and this, you're talking about a town of 35,000 people, and all of a sudden they have another basically small town arrive. and you have a little bit more information on this, on exactly how he handled himself during this time. give gary yeah, you put your finger on it. chief jason owens is going to be a spectacular chief for the border patrol because of the lessons he learned as bill melugin and i and others covered eagle pass and del rio, particularly when bill was under that bridge and above it many in a helicopter and you saw 20,000 under a bridge in a town of 35,000. it was absolutely stretching the tiny resources of the del rio sector. it's one of the smallest sectors along the nine sectors across the entire southwest border. it pales in comparison to say the rgv sector in terms of resources. but yet jason owens, the chief of that sector, was able to manage the resources he had to

put a playbook together that really now, i think, has been emulated across the entire border patrol. he comes in with a tall task ahead of him, but i think he's the man to do it. alicia: and i'm sure you'll be down there covering it all. thanks, griff. so holiday travel headaches. we're live at america's busiest airport with an update on a record-breaking weekend. that's next. ♪ ♪ game-changing new plan that lets her get exactly what she wants and save on every perk. sadie is moving to the big city and making moves on her plan, too. apple one, on. now she's got plenty of entertainment for the whole ride. finally there! hot spot, on. and she's fully connected before her internet is even installed.

here, 200 flights delayed in atlanta, about 2,000 across the country. the levels now back up above pre-covid levels, up 11% over one year ago. 17.7 million people estimated to be taking to the skies during week around the fourth of july, so they're struggling here to keep those lines moving. and airport officials continue to stress that people should try and arrive to the airports this week at least three hours before their flights. >> we just had to run all over the place because there was no set times morning. >> this morning we rode the hotel shuttle, to it was good. but last night getting in it was is so lined up, i didn't know if we were going to make it today. >> lines are a bit longer than -- we anticipated some hong lines. but it's been moving, and the airport security's been doing an amazing job of getting so many people through. >> reporter: so despite the chaos, despite challenges, you can see optimistic attitudes from a lot of people.

are they going after competency here? >> that's exactly what heir going after. you remember the o.j. simpson trial, johnnie cochran put the police on trial, and i think kohberger's defense is trying to argue that the police were incompetent, that they were newbies because the dna evidence is coming in. and i think the dna evidence could be devastating for mr. kohberger. if he ends up getting the death penalty or spending the rest of his life in prison, it's going to be because of that dna evidence. alicia: you mentioned the dna evidence, it's so strong. the dna found on that knife sheath, that's just some of the evidence that they have at hand for the prosecution. it was at least 5.37 of course till ontimes more likely to be kohberger so, obviously, the defense has its work cut out for them. let's continue with this list here. they're also looking for fen records, they also want information on why the fbi expanded the range of model

years of the white hyundai elantra while they were looking for can cobeggar. kohberger. what can you tell us about that? >> that's a tough one. i haven't been able to put hi my finger on it yet, but i think the fbi going to use the cell phone records which they haven't released yet and also compare it to the tire marks of the car that was supposedly at scene of the crime. everything they're trying to do is to place coberger in that house, because -- kohberger in that house. if you don't have the dna, you really don't have any of the eyewitness testimony. you do have one eyewitness who saw somebody with bushy eyebrow withs who walked past them, but that's e not enough to putko berger in that house. to the extent they can put tire tracks at the house, it might be game, set and match. alicia: so this isn't a slam dunk can, even though we're all watching this, it's not a slam

dunk? >> no, it's not. there's a perception that this guy is weird, creepy, that he's different, and all of that may be the the case. but when you have a capital murder case and the prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, you need a lot more than that before you convict him. you need evidence, you need dna evidence. you need to place him in that house, so prosecutors are being very me me nod -- methodical because you have four innocent people who were butchered. they are doing their jobs, but it's not the slam dunk that everybody thinks it is. alicia: do you think the defense is going to get this additional information that they wantsome and also if you can also just answer, could they possibly be setting up for a potential appeal in the future here? >> yeah, i don't think there's any question that that one of goals many this case is, obviously, to be found not guilty but, number two two, to tie it up on appeal for as long as possible, especially when you have the death penalty component ott case. they want to try to put as many clean issues of appeal on appeal so they can delay his execution

if he's found guilty for as long as possible. alicia: and the final seconds that i have left, they've also kind of floated talk about a possible drug addiction problem that he had, but they've also said he's not guilty. what's going on there? is. >> look, i think entire drug addiction issue has been put in not so much by the defense, but the prosecution. the daddies closed that he had a heroin addiction. it's not exactly a motive, but it might explain some of his ab her rant conduct if he is guilty of these crimes. alicia: okay. trial starts in october. andrew, good to see you and happy fourth. >> thank you. griff: this july 4th holiday weekend we'll talk to an american hero who is an inspiration to thousands of our wounded warriors. that's next. ♪ they need with lipo. it's formulated with ingredients clinically shown to protect your ears from dizziness, ear ringing, and even hearing loss. never miss a moment with lipo flavonoid.

alicia: former president donald trump on the stump this independence day weekend addressing voters at a rally in picken, south carolina, just moments ago. large are crowds gather withed at the event eagerly awaiting the former president's remarks.

in his speech trump took several shots at president biden and highlighted the investigation into the president's son. here is some of what he had to say. >> the fake news media has finally started to admit what we all knew, biden is the most corrupt president in american history by far. it's not even close. he's a criminal and a liar who sold his office to foreign countries and many other people. you a take a look at what's going on, all of the stuff goes into the stuff, he calls it, it goes into family pockets, and it comes from many cases very bad third world actor thes, and nobody thought they were going to get caught with all of their phony corporations that they set up. the only problem is those people don't like to report it, but they're actually having to start. it's very interesting. i'm just not sure i want to run

against anybody else. i sort of like one. [laughter] and, by the way, we're leading him by a lot. [cheers and applause] but just think -- [cheers and applause] just think of the massive biden corruption unveiled in the past few weeks alone. according to can representatives james comer and jim jordan who are doing a pan tsa thetic job, by the way -- fantastic job, by the way, at least nine bind family members were paid vast sums of money through twenty different shell companies for no legitimate reason at all. they can't figure it out. while crooked joe was vice president, he was using that as a cash machine. in addition, we learned the fbi has explosive evidence that joe biden took bribes from ukraine, yet the corrupt fbi -- it's out of control -- not only covered it up, they stayed silent while crazy nancy pelosi and little adam schiff, how about that beauty?

little adam shift. [background sounds] and the radical democrats impeached me, they impeached me. but that was just the beginning because they also indicted me a couple of years later for asking questions about the biden bribery scam. just happened to ask. it turned out i was right. this is a sick nest of people that needs to be the cleaned out and cleaned out immediately. turned out i was right. [cheers and applause] it turned out i was right. i had to go through two impeachments, and i was right on both of them, and it's been proven. and especially with the laptop from hell, it's been right there, right in front of their eyes. last week an irs whistleblower revealed that crooked joe sat in a room while his son hunter messaged a chinese communist party top official, and he said, i quote, i am sitting here with my father, sleep i by joe. --

sleepy joe. and we would like to -- and, by the way, he may not be as sleepily by as we thought. and we would like to the understand the commitment made, what has happened? why has it not been fulfilled? why haven't you sent us the money? tell the director that i would like to resolve this right now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. i didn't know he was a tough guy. they are with our money. they're not with our nation, because they're giving it away to other countries. and if i get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, zhang, top person or the chairman, i will make certain that between the man sitting next to me -- that's dad, hi dad. [laughter] remember, he said he was, he said he was the smartest person he's ever met. by the way, at some time does

joe biden say, you know, this son thing's just not working out very well? at some point. it won't matter if the press doesn't catch it. but the man sitting next to me and every person he knows, you will regret not following my rejection and direction. i'm sitting here waiting for the call. and he says he wants it right now. i'm sitting waiting for the call with my father. within ten days the bidens collected $5.1 million from china for no reason whatsoever. alicia: former president trump in pickens, south carolina. that's a pretty big crowd out there, give. -- griff. hitting on something i think is just going to follow all the candidates throughout campaign, and that is how republicans see an uneven application of justice by the department of justice between the biden that family and former president donald trump. griff: absolutely. and, clearly, crooked hillary

clinton the has been replaced with crooked joe, although we heard in those comments he seemed to be struggling between whether he was going to the call joe biden crooked joe or sleepy joe. but your point is very salad. and in knox news' latest polls -- fox news' latest poll among gop primary voters, we saw trump go from 53% last month, hen got a federal indictment on 37 counts, he's at 56 percent. clearly, the more the government charges, the more trump rises. that seems to be a bit of the takeaway and perhaps why he is rallying hose thousands of people many pickens, south carolina, with just that theme right there. go ahead. alicia: yeah, a lot of political watchers will say it's just july of 2023. griff: indeed. that's all for us this hour. "fox news live" continuing. i'm give jenkins. alicia: and i'm alicia acuna, thanks for watching.
