4:01 am
for july 24th. russia claims drone strikes hit two nonresidential buildings in moscow. no one was hurt. ukraine's intelligence agency says it carried out the drone attack. a critical day in israel. the country is set to vote on the first part of an overhaul that would limit the supreme court's power to put a check on the government's actions. the historic heat wave in the u.s. will not quit. more than 35 million americans waking up to heat advisories and nearly every corner of the country will face above normal temps. today is the deadline for the justice department and the agree to meet their demands. if not, the doj is vowing to take legal action. bye-bye birdie. the bird has disappeared from the tech social platform. we'll get into it. "cnn this morning" starts right now.
4:02 am
this just into cnn, a ukrainian defense intelligence official is now claiming responsibility for the drone attack on moscow overnight. an official with the agency who was not authorized to speak publicly is confirming that news to cnn. the russian military says two drones crashed into buildings in the russian capital after being disabled with electronic warfare. now one of them hit a russian defense ministry building. no injuries have been reported. >> there are videos though on social media. they show one of the drones buzzing around the russian capital. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy vowed to retaliate after deadly strikes on the city of odesa. that's where we find alex marquardt in odesa inside a historic cathedral. walk us through what you are seeing. >> reporter: good morning. we did hear president zelenskyy say the russians would feel the retaliation. it appears this response is at least these two drones that are
4:03 am
hitting moscow a very brazen attack. the kind of attack that ukraine rarely claims responsibility, but they are very clearly today after almost a week of these very intense strikes on odesa. particularly mhere in the historic city center. we are inside the transfiguration cathedral. church officials have asked us to put these helmets on because they are doing a lot of work around here. there is a lot of debris, but i want to show you around. this is the corner that was most damaged of the church. you can see that the ceiling has been completely opened up. this is where we believe the missile or the rocket came in, completely destroying this corner. it is amazing to see this much daylight in here. just speaks to the fact that this part of the church no longer has any roofing. my cameraman is showing you the dome up there. the gorgeous dome of this cathedral, all of those windows have been blown out. the frescos have come down. just moment ago, a huge section of this ceiling came crashing down. this altar here to the right is
4:04 am
only standing upright because it's leaning against that wall. all of those pillars are now -- have now been knocked over. this is a cathedral has -- that was destroyed back in 1936, and then rebuilt during ukrainian independence, and it is this kind of strike on civilian infrastructure, on buildings that have nothing to do with the war, that has president zelenskyy saying that what ukraine needs now is more air defenses, what he calls a full-fledged sky shield. poppy, erica? >> wow. as you look at this, you sat down with ukraine's defense minister and talked about this onslaught of strikes on odesa. what more did you learn from him? >> reporter: we had an interesting conversation with the defense minister. we talked about ukraine becoming a member of nato, the ongoing counteroffensive, but i started off by asking him about what's going on here in odesa, and whether he has been surprised at
4:05 am
the ferocity of these russian strikes. take a look. >> honestly not because after february of last year it's difficult to surprise me. >> it was night after night of drones and missiles, all kinds of different targets. they say it was in response to the attack on the bridge. >> they every time are trying to find the reason for their behavior, the reason for how to explain their mess. to try to explain for some explosions in their territories, but they're fighting with the civilians. that's why i call them looters. >> you issued a threat saying you will turn other russian ships into the flagship of the black sea fleet which you famously sank last april. are you planning to escalate
4:06 am
attacks in the sea? >> we have capacity. we have weaponry as we did it with the cruise in moscow, and if they will, threatening in the black sea, we will have to response. >> and i also ask rhim about th attacks on crimea, and officials have been coy about not claiming responsibility, but we have seen quite a few attacks on both the bridge and the peninsula lately. he indicated those will continue. he's making no excuses for the fact those are vital supply lines, vital logistical nodes for the russian occupation and its efforts in ukraine. they say attacks on the bridge and in crimea will continue. poppy, erica? >> alex marquardt, live for us in odesa. thank you. happening right now in jerusalem, we'll take to you israel where they are bracing for a political earthquake as
4:07 am
lawmakers in the parliament begin voting on a controversial plan that would completely overhaul the israeli judiciary. their supreme court, it is happening amid huge protests. many opposing the measure, others in support, trying to have their voices heard as well this morning. >> and war has been raging for months. it would strip the power of the supreme court to block government decisions it deems to be unreasonable. leaders of one of the country's largest labor unions also considering a strike. haddas gold has been covering this. protesters already being arrested apparently outside the parliament today? what more do you know? >> reporter: yeah. we are on the road that leads from the supreme court down to the israeli parliament. that's why you see all these protesters flowing back and forth behind us. they are milling about this whole governmental campus, and they say they will be here for as long as possible. the protesters down by the israeli parliament, they are forming human chains.
4:08 am
they are being pushed back by israeli police, using water cannons. they say that they are trying to protect democracy, protect the israeli parliament from this legislation. now what this legislation will do with one aspect of this massive judicial overhaul pack is that benjamin netanyahu's government has been trying to push for months. this would stop the support from being able to stop government actions the supreme court deems unreasonable. he says this is unreasonable, and there needs to be balance. this would give the government unfettered access to do what they want. the supreme court is the only check on government power because of the parliamentary system and how it's set up. adding to do drama right now in the next few hours or so is that the prime minister himself has had his own major health issues over the weekend. he had essentially an emergency procedure to install a pacemaker after a heart monitor indicated
4:09 am
a problem. he literally came straight from the hospital essentially to the israeli parliament for these votes. that is the situation here right now, and he is indicating that he and his government will continue forward with these votes despite these protests, despite the thousands of israeli military reservists who have said they will not heed the call to serve if this legislation passes. that causes major questions about israel's military preparedness. it's obviously a very tense time in this region. they are pushing forward even after president biden once again weighing in, the second time in a week calling on the israeli lea leader saying it doesn't make sense to rush this. we just heard what the former prime minister who is now opposition leader. he was speaking to the media in the israeli parliament saying that consensus compromising talks. the time is running out. the cloinck is ticking. even if these votes pass, they
4:10 am
have the majority. this will likely face an immediate challenge, and where will this be challenged, guys? in the israeli supreme court. the supreme court could be ruling on its own position on whether it can declare something unreasonable, and if the government doesn't listen to that, there could be another crisis here. >> thank you very much. reporting from the ground in jerusalem where this is all happening as we speak. well, today is the deadline for texas governor greg abbott to respond to the justice department's threat of a lawsuit over abbott's latest effort to stop illegal immigration into the state of texas. the doj is demanding they remove this 1,000-foot barricade of razor-wire-wrapped buoys. he replied saying he'll see president biden, quote, in court. showdown today. what are we expecting today, rosa? >> reporter: let me show you, erica, because we're on the rio grande, and you can see that there are two layers of wire.
4:11 am
this is part of the border barriers set out by the state of texas, and beyond that, you'll see in the middle of the river, these buoys. now these are four inches dollars four feet in didiameter excuse me, and the state of texas did not consult with the federal government, or even get permits before deploying the buoys and now a top diplomat in mexico has complained to washington saying that these violate two international treaties and mexico's concerned that these buoys could be on mexican territory. now more than 80 u.s. democratic lawmakers pressuring president biden to investigate this and also to file legal action against the state of texas. well, late last week the u.s. doj sent a letter to the state of texas saying that the construction of these buoys is unlawful and that it raises concerns that are humanitarian, public safety, and environmental
4:12 am
as well, and the u.s. dogiving the state of texas a deadline. here wt the letter says in part. quote, if we do not receive a response by 2:00 p.m. eastern on july 24, 2023, indicating your commitment to expeditiously remove the floating barrier and related structures the united action.intends to file legal greg abbott responding in a thread saying, quote, texas has the sovereign authority to protect our border under the u.s. constitution and the xas constitution. governor abbott goes on to blame president biden for the problems on the border and ends the thread with this, erica, saying, quote, we will see you in court, mr. president. does this mean texas will be defiant on deadline day? we will have to see. >> we'll be watching. certainly makes it sound that way. rosa, appreciate it as always. thank you. all right. it is hot.
4:13 am
i don't have to tell you that, but at least 35 million people are under excessive heat warnings as dangerously high temperatures bake areas of the south and the west that have been scalding for weeks. the relentless heat could break even more records in the weeks ahead. our stephanie elam is live in las vegas this morning, and it is very early. it is just after 4:00 in the morning, and it is very hot. >> reporter: it is so hot, poppy, but, you know, it's cooled down one degree since i last talked to you. it's 88 degrees. everything is better, but it's going to go up to about 106 degrees today. we've seen a record number of days above 110. may not beat that record today. may just match it, but still these heat -- hot, hot days are making it very dangerous for so many people who are outside with these temperatures 15 degrees above norm. a heat wave bearing down across the globe with little relief in sight. millions of americans are under heat alerts and now wildfires are ablaze creating some
4:14 am
challenges for communities in the pacific northwest. residents in parts of maricopa county and arizona were told by local authorities to evacuate as firefighters battle the diamond fire while facing scorching hot temperatures. >> the heat has been unrelenting in our community. >> reporter: in phoenix, sunday marked 24 consecutive days of at least 110-degree temperatures, and in las vegas, the city has seen ten consecutive days of temperatures at or above 110 degrees, tying the longest streak of days with those high temperatures. in parts of arizona, the heat is so brutal, emergency rooms are filling up with people being treated for heat-related illnesses. this doctor shows us the ice bag used to treat some of the worst patients. >> we try to throw a little bit of ice, you know, on here, on the bottom, get a little bit on the bottom and when they get there are body on here, we like to throw it all above them. so what's going to happen then is the only thing showing is going be their head, okay? that in an ideal world. we also like to throw water on
4:15 am
there. if has been shown to drop their temperature a degree almost every five minutes if done properly. >> reporter: it's not just heatstroke. the director of the arizona burn center says people are getting burnt on the pavement, accounting for half the patients in the valley icu. >> the pavement is so hot that it only takes a fraction of a second to get a pretty deep burn, and to lay on a hot pavement or a hot surface for ten minutes, 20 minutes, a half an hour, an hour, that's full thickness burn. the skin is completely destroyed. >> reporter: phoenix's mayor explains how they are battling the heat. >> we have mobile cooling units that can go to an emergency site like a fire. we even have tactics where we can go out with ivs that have been cooled and that can cool people from the inside which can save lives. another program we have that's very popular is our cool pavement program. so we are really just looking at how we design the city.
4:16 am
>> reporter: and keep in mind that pacvement, that asphalt according to one of the doctors we interviewed there in phoenix, said it can be up to 180 degrees, so just below boiling. think about how hot that is and how dangerous that is. on top of it, noaa saying that we have seen 5,000 records, heat records either broken or tied during the last 30 days. so obviously poppy and erica, this is something that this human-induced climate change is something we have to deal with moving forward. a lot of these desert communities, places dealing with extreme heat are going to have to adapt as we move further, and this doesn't seem to be going away. >> it does not. stephanie elam, appreciate you being out there in the heat. thanks. well, it appears donald trump ll face a triaabt the general election, but after nomination.his parties a it's scheduled for may, 20 with a start date as early as
4:17 am
may 20th. all six states will haveeld their caucuses. the trump campaign might have it locked in by then. we should know who the presumptive nominee is by the time this trial gets under way. elie hoenig is here. also, one of the smartest people i know. okay, so walk me through what we're looking at in terms of first the mar-a-lago documents case, this may 2024 trial date. >> right. >> how likely is it that holds? >> erica, i would write that date in pencil in the old calendar book, and here's why. going into this decision, doj asked to try this five months from now. donald trump asked for never. he said, just sometime after the election. the judge set this may trial date. here's what you have to understand. the judge in her order set 33
4:18 am
intermediate dates. you don't have to read all them. if one of them falls back, it pushes back all the others. it's a domino cascade-type effect. one example, the judge is giving the party five weeks to brief and argue their motions. there are some very complicated motions that donald trump is going to bring if there is an indictment. he's going to challenge the search warrant of mar-a-lago. he's going to challenge prosecution's use of his communications with his attorneys. we know from donald trump's la lawyers they're going to argue prosecutorial misconduct. five weeks is very optimistic. let's look at the bigger picture. let's remember, key here. november 5th is the election date. realistically we're not going to have a trial october, september. it's just too close to the election. the judge is not going to countenance that. this judge set the trial date for the end of may. this is realistically a six or so-week trial. it's koccomplicated. that will carry us through july.
4:19 am
if you see he's successful in pushing this back just a couple of months -- >> it doesn't take much. >> we're in the red zone and it's not realistically going to happen before the election. >> again, as we have been saying for a long time now, but we'll continue saying there has not been an indictment for january 6th, if however there is one, what are the chances that that trial could happen before the election? >> so things are getting really crowded on the kal. en -- calendar here. this is about mar-a-lago and also the hush money case. let's look at the calendar again. the key date in november, we need to block off october and september. we're not going to have a trial that close to the election. now the manhattan hush money case is already scheduled for trial in late march. that's going to carry us through to april. we have mar-a-lago now scheduled for late may. that's going to carry through june and july. so where could a potential january 6th indictment fit? this is too early. we won't get a trial that starts five months from now on january 6th, and this tooks like
4:20 am
it's too late. i don't see a readily available calendar spot unless -- unless one of these moves, unless the manhattan case moves or unless the mar-a-lago case moves. >> and could it move at the request of the special counsel or the attorney general or how would that work? >> either one of them. the prosecutor would have to agree to move to seek a conti continuance. donald trump may have some say here as well. so things are getting really crowded on the old trial calendar and there's going to be a really important jockeying for position here or maybe some willingness to move out beyond the november election or other cases to go first. we'll see. >> it'll keep your calendar busy. block off all these dates. you'll be needed. thank you. >> elie doesn't get to take vacation these days. >> february 29th, i'm off. >> really interesting. appreciate it. this story we have been following closely, newly released body camera video shows

4:25 am
columbus, but law enforcement just released the video. i understand there's an investigation going on, right? >> it's under way, guys. just to make sure we can draw that distinction, it was the ohio state highway patrol that initiated the traffic stop, but it's the actions of the circleville ohio police department that are being called into question. the video, disturbing video that you are about to see it shows one of the canine units appearing to release their canine officer as the suspect has its hands up. the footage provided by ohio state highway patrol is disturbing, but now under scrutiny after a man was mauled by a police officer's canine. ju july 4th, jackson county, ohio. a marked vehicle tried stopping the driver of this big rig for a missing mud flap. the guy identified as jadarrius
4:26 am
roesz rose drives on. then the big rig draws to a stop. >> get out of the truck. >> >>. >> reporter: that lasts only a few seconds as he continues to flee and the officers stay on him for another eight minutes. it wasn't until after police used tire deflation devices that it came to a dramatic and disturbing stop. that's a canine unit rolling up to the scene after repeated orders from state troopers, the driver steps out of the rig. his hands in the air as requested. a patrolman is heard asking the canine to not be released though it's unclear if he could be heard by all officers on scene. that's when the canine is deployed. >> do not release the dog with his hands up. do not release the dog with hid hands up. do not release the dog. with his hands up, don't -- >> get the dog off of him! >> reporter: after the canine takedown, an officer approaches, and then quickly walks away, her hands covering her face as rose
4:27 am
screams in pain. the frustration audible in the voice of another state officer. >> was i not loud enough? >> reporter: after the dog is removed, officers move in to arrest rose and administer first aid. >> you just let a dog bite me. >> all you had to do was come to me. >> i did. i was trying to respect you. you got a gun pointed at me. there's, like, 20 of y'all. >> all you had to do was stop, brother. >> i did stop. >> reporter: a spokesperson for the ohio state highway patrol tells cnn as troopers were trying to gain compliance, the circleville police department deployed their canine which resulted in the suspect being bitten. cnn has reached out to the circleville police department for comment. police say rose was taken to a local hospital where he was treated and released before being taken to jail. his attorney declined to comment. as you mentioned, i did read over the case report. the trooper was right that they were able to have a conversation with rose while he was being treated at the hospital.
4:28 am
he said he did not, according to the report, did not understand why he was being stopped. he was simply trying to haul a load over to garden city, ohio before making his way home. so he certainly wasn't aware -- he said he wasn't aware as to why he was being pulled over. they mentioned at the top they are not just appalled by what we just saw, but calling for a thorough investigation. >> thank you for the reporting. keep us posted. turning now to central missouri where a boat smashed into the home on a edge of a lake injuring eight people. troopers say the boat ran aground, struck the home, and you can see what happened there. it threw everyone off that boat. this happened on saturday at the lake of the ozarks. the driver was arrested for boating while sbintoxicated. donald trump remains the gop front-runner by a mile in the race to the white house, but ron desantis is slipping into third behind nikki haley. how concerned should the desantis camp be?
4:30 am
4:32 am
among likely south carolina republican primary voters, the florida governor is now polling behind former governor nikki haley, sitting some 35 points below former president trump. if you take a look at iowa, desantis is trailing trump by 30 points. tim scott as you can see, just behind the governor, both polls, but fox business fueling the scrutiny about desantis' st standing in the race. we have shelby talcott, and mo molly parker. when we look at these numbers, it is something. we've talked about what the concerns are for the desantis campaign. is it the media, is it the money? i i mean, the numbers errol, should be raising a concern or two. what does this tell the campaign? are they going to, you think, take it in? >> they've got a real problem and they've recognized it. that's why they have had this
4:33 am
campaign shakeup. they're burning through the money and spending $0.40 on every dollar they raise. that's one problem and the media problem, is if you've looked at the polls, they've spent millions of dollars and he's fallen further behind. he started out, you know, in decent position as a sort of, you know, striking distance of donald trump. now depending on the poll you're looking at, he's 30 points behind. he's 40 points behind in the latest harris poll and he doesn't seem to be closing that gap, and so if you spend a lot of money and you end up in a worse position, you've got an immediate problem, and then the larger problem of course, is that you can't figure out which state ron desantis wins in order to get into this race. he's just behind in all of the early raced south carolina is just one more example o that. >> that iowa poll you just showed, the 30 points behind trump sh shelby, what's interesting in the interview jake tapper did last week, he was, like, iowa, iowa, iowa, organize, organize, organize. can he pull a mccain and go on to win the primary? >> i think it's too soon to
4:34 am
tell. you can't obviously count him out completely. i think it's gotten a lot tougher than it was maybe three or four months ago for ron desantis. other campaigns are really seeing the opportunities now. tim scott's superpac just bought $40 million in ads. he has a ton of money to spend. even nikki haley -- >> he's got great favorability ratini ratings. >> yes. i think it's too soon to tell. i think it's notable that as you said that he's starting to kind of reset his campaign. i think the question is, is it going to be enough? >> right, and did they miss the window? is the issue too the campaign or is the issue the candidate? >> right now it looks to be the candidate. ron desantis tried so hard to avoid being the next scott walker or jeb bush that it's become a self-fulfilling prophesy. when you see him now, he's overthinking every move both on his part and the campaign as
4:35 am
well, and so at this point, it does look like it's more the candidate there. >> let's stick on florida for a moment because the state of florida's legislature passed a change in the way that they teach kids about slavery, and i'm going to raead the language directly from the text of what passed. instruction needs to include how slaves developed skills which in some instanc could be applied for their personal benefit and on page 17, it says instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by african americans, and it goes through a number of examples, tulsa race massacre, et cetera. ron desantis was asked about this, initially sort of deflects, errol, and then doubles down. here's what he said. >> i didn't do it. i wasn't involved in it, but i think -- i think what they're doing is i think that they're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a black smith into doing things
4:36 am
later in life. >> being enslaved. >> apparently. >> why is he doing that? >> that's a history major by the way from yale college. >> right. >> the -- look. the reality is he has chosen these noneconomic issues to run on, to attack black history, to attack what he calls wokeness, you know, to attack women's rights, and abortion rights. those are the issue that is he thinks are going to carry him to the republican nomination. in this particular case, it's just a disgraceful hash of history. i mean, they've just got all of the wrong. even in the clarification after that press conference, they put out this list of, you know, black people to whom -- who would fit into that category. >> right. >> and, you know, i think 12 of the 14 were actually freed men. they had not been enslaved. they just don't know what they're talking about. >> don't let the facts get in the way of the narrative, right? >> don't let the facts get in the way of a disgraceful pander
4:37 am
in the case of ron desantis. >> what stood out to me is there was a tweet from will hurd that we have where he said, unfortunately it has to be said. slavery wasn't a jobs program that taught beneficial skills. it was literally dehumanizing and subjugated people as property. that's what i keep coming back to. i would hope we can all collectively agree slavery was wrong and it was certainly not a jobs program. the fact he does keep doubling down on this, that there are not people around him too to say -- >> stop. >> -- hey, stop, that's remarkable. >> he's severely undercutting his general election strategy that he's the candidate that can supersede donald trump, right? the fact is as errol second-degree, this is disgraceful to defend slavery, to double down on it and we're at the point in this campaign where desantis is doing
4:38 am
something bizarre. it was the lgbtq video and now it's slavery was a jobs program as well. so you're saying his campaign torpedoed as he lean ss into th culture war fight. >> let's listen to chris christie who's also running. he was focused on undercutting trump and now he's really going after desantis. here's his response on what desantis said. >> we're arguing about these issues, these smaller issues when we've got big issues in our country, like, runaway inflation that continues to hurt families. we're dividing our country into smaller and smaller and smaller pieces. >> yeah. >> and politicians are pitting them against each other to create conflict, and that's not going to make the country bigger, better, stronger, or freer. >> part of that answer that was the most telling to me was, i didn't do it. it's not my idea. it's not leadership is what chris christie said about desantis. >> he has a point and he has a point particularly with ron
4:39 am
desantis, i think because ron desantis historically has been the leader who is involved in everything. i mean, there's tons of articles out there and their campaign will tell you that it's really ron desantis and casey. they make the final decisions, their own advisers, and you can't really have both. you can't be that kind of a leader and then also say, well, this wasn't my doing, especially when you're so focused on something like education. >> thank you all. shelby, mario, errol, appreciate it. twitter saying good-bye to the bluebird lologo. hello to x. that's right. what's behind the new rebranding strategy from elon musk? there it is on the twitter headquarters. >> yeah. >> we'll be back. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart healalth. yaaaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and mineralss and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪

anymore. you see an x on the twitter platform and it's interesting because he's rebranding this as something new, getting rid of the bird he says, but this is define -- the bird defines this platform for ten years. tweet as a noun and a verb didn't have the power it did before, you know, this platform made it something that we all talk about as so many of us talk about. he took over this company, took it private. he's cut ad revenue in half since that happened. he's got $1.5 billion in annual interest payments, a revenue $3 billion sharply from 2021. there have been twitter woes since elon musk took over. he's absolutely remaking this thing. it is smaller, it's going to look a lot different and this is just the next iteration of that for one of the world's richest men. >> you look confused, right? because i am. >> i am. i don't -- and i probably wouldn't understand a lot of things in elon musk's head. in all seriousness, why you would throw away to your point, sort of all this capital that they have in the world.
4:46 am
>> yeah. >> this is a tweet. it became a noun. it became a verb. it's so well known for some things. it's one thing to change it, but are you going to say, i x instead of i tweeted? x is getting rid of things. x is cutting things out. >> i know. that's what i don't understand as well, but x has a big place in his brand, right? spacex. x -- >> one of his children. >> he already named his company x.com. if you go to x.com, it is rerouted to twitter. why throw away something that is so -- a brand that is so recognizable for something that is an enigma? x is kind of an eenigma, isn't it? >> we shall see. getting in the mind of elon musk is always a -- >> good luck with that. >> -- a difficult place to be. >> good to see you. thanks. investigators turning their focus to the new york home of a suspected serial killer as they literally dig for clues. plenty of questions for the local sheriff. he's going to join us next live. you're sleepining. t

4:51 am
investigators believe he may have committed the killings in his home, just miles from where the remains of multiple women were found. now, just a reminder, at this point, police have charged heuermann in three murders. they say he is the prime suspect in a fourth, but he has not been charged in that death. heuermann has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail. joinings now is the suffolk county sheriff. he's in your jail there. we were talking a little bit in the break. i was asking you anything that may have happened overnight that i should know about. one of the things that stood out, you say, the investigation wasn't over, but there was more than we envisioned. how much more? in what sense? >> first of all, good morning and thank you for having me on. i think when we talk about more than what we envision is a multi-state jurisdiction or now, where we're searching the various residences that he owned. with that, i don't think any of us ever anticipated going that far and looking at any missing
4:52 am
persons or any murders that may have occurred along the eastern seaboard or anything that's any commonality with this particular crime. >> it feels so broad. we showed those pictures, just as we were introducing you, and i think we have them up again there, digging in the backyard. can you tell us the evidence that led to that decision to begin digging there and can you tell us specifically what they may be looking for? >> of course, this is an ongoing investigation. and i think the most important thing that everybody needs to understand is that we need to make sure that the investigation leads us and not us leading the investigation. so, you know, we're still on his property. that's where that digging is occurring, because it is part of his residence. there may have been something that alerted the investigators that they should start searching the property. but there's nothing that we can disclose, because it still is an active investigation. >> when you talk about the other places on the eastern seaboard, i believe that there was some
4:53 am
property in south carolina that based on tax records, belonged to the suspect. is that the area that you're referring to? or is there somewhere beyond that? >> no, really, the south carolina and of course going west to las vegas is the areas that are currently under investigation, where investigators in those states are assisting suffolk county in this particular -- with this particular individual. >> the suspect is being held in your jail. as i understand it, you've had a couple of different interactions with him. he hasn't had any visitors, beyond speaking with attorneys, as i understand it. what was he like in those interactions? >> you know, very stoic. and if you think about someone that two weeks ago was walking around freely, he seemed very comfortable inside of the cell. he was laying on his bunk. he still is on the suicide watch, of course, and our mental health staff will be evaluating
4:54 am
to see if that should continue or not. >> we know that the remains that were found in gilgo beach, the suffolk county police commissioner, rodney harrison, was asked about that and where the case stands. i just want to play what he had to say and get your take. >> is this case over, from your perspective? >> not even close, you know, we still have the other six bodies that were recovered on ocean parkway. you know, we have some work to do. and this task force is going to stay in tact. is rex heuermann connected to these other bodies? time will tell. >> so there is this task force. you know, there are questions about how long this investigation will go on. as you point out, you're letting the investigation lead you. but where do you stand on that? how long do you think this will take? >> you know, i think that this
4:55 am
investigation is going to last as long as it takes to make sure that every piece of evidence that's gathered, every suspect or if it's just mr. heuermann, will be excluded or precluded from this investigation or possibly being a suspect. i think one of the things that you should think about is that, you know, every piece of evidence that's gathered has to be tested, has to be looked at, people have to be interviewed. so this is something, as i said earlier, it's a multi-jurisdictional investigation. so this is going to take some time. >> the "new york post" is reporting that police found a soundproof room in heuermann's basement. they believe at least one of the victims was killed there. can you confirm that? >> no, i cannot confirm that at all, because the investigation is still active. >> is that -- would you deny that? >> i would not deny that either. >> so neither confirm nor deny. as we wait for more details, as you can say, the investigation is not over. is there one thing that has
4:56 am
surprised you in this last week or so? >> in our dealings with heuermann, you know, we have had some media that has attempted to reach out to him. my concern right now outside of the recession is to make sure that mr. heuermann is brought to justice in the courts and not in our jails. so we're taking every measure to make sure that that happens. >> sheriff, really appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me on. >> poppy? >> really telling, erica. thank you very much. meantime, this morning, significant protests in israel as lawmakers begin voting on a bill that could leave the judiciary, the supreme court of israel, essentially unchecked. we'll take you live to jerusalem. texas officials facing a deadline today to enter talks over what the doj is calling dangerous and illegal floating barriers in the rio grande. just ahead, we'll speak to the republican congressman, tony gonzalez, who represents a border district in texas for his take.
