♪ praise the valley, praise the mountain. i praise when i'm sure. i praise when i'm down. ♪ i praise when surrounded. >> bill: a story breaking right now. more than a decade since police discovered the bodies of ten murder victims on the beach of long island, new york. police have arrested a suspect. they were at his home last night and again continuing today. as we get information on this, welcome to the end of the week. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. >> dana: amazing news. there has been podcasts, documentaries, books, novels, some police officers never

thought it would be solved but app apparently they have the suspect today. the news overnight police arrested in suspect. a mere 20 minute drive from the beach where the bodies were found. >> the killings date back to december of 2010. that is when police found the bodies of four women, the remains all wrapped in burr lap and left on the beach. >> dana: police later found the bodies of six more people. that brought the total to ten. all of them found murdered on the same small beach fueling fears of a serial killer. >> let's get to lauren green to try to figure out what we think we know at the moment. >> just as you say this has been the most intense investigation for a supposed serial killer on long island for more than a decade. police joined by the f.b.i. have been searching for the suspect in the murders. this morning they made an arrest. witnesses say a swarm of police

vehicles surrounded a home on new york's long island and took a suspect into custody with the connection of the murders of four women but could be linked to as many as ten killings. it began in 2010 for the missing woman, shannon gilbert. police discovered the bodies of four other women. 24-year-old melissa bartholomew, a 22-year-old, a 23-year-old and a 27-year-old. known as the gill go four. reportedly worked as craig's lists courts and they were found wrapped in burr lap and found a 10th of a mile from each other. by the spring of 2011 the number of bodies climbed to ten. eight women and unidentified man and toddler. neighbors expressed shock this morning. >> it's crazy.

it's mind blowing. quiet neighborhood. >> we're shocked. this is a very quiet neighborhood. we're all friendly and never been a problem at all. >> the suspect will have a court appearance later today. we'll bring you more information as we get it in here. >> bill: thank you so much. a retired nypd lieutenant and mercedes cowen. joe, if they have the murdereder in custody why has this case been so difficult to solve? >> because first of all, the evidence is slowly coming in. they were stymied in the beginning of it. the new police commissioner started a task force along with the suffolk d.a. and kept everything close to the vest. a lot of tips came n. you have to sort through them.

the information comes in and you have to find out which information is bona fide. the fact they moved on this and made an arrest i believe they have a very good suspect and a very good case against this suspect. >> dana: mercedes, this case captured the imagination of a lot of people for a long time. a police officer never thought it would be solved but finally there is some resolution. what do you remember about this case over the years as it has been covered pretty exhaustively in all sorts of different mediums? >> a lot of the families came forward. these are all very young women in their 20s. families came forward. they were very adamant about don't forget our family members. maybe they led a life that you felt should be judged but really these are young women. they were hard working women. these are women that should not be forgotten and it was really the focus. i thought it was a very good -- spoke volumes about the family's dedication to finding the killers. they were probably behind the

scenes pretty active trying to help law enforcement trying to find that killer and frankly thankfully they have the bodies. so there has to be so much dna evidence that could link this suspect ultimately once this goes -- we'll see more when we see the affidavit this afternoon. apparently it will be disclosed and know more details. what is most frightening and consistent with a lot of serial killers, they lead normal lives. individuals walking amongst the community, sometimes very good members of the community, hard working individuals but they have a double life that can lead to this -- these horrors. >> bill: right before we came on the air we were asked a question in the studio as to why serial killers stop killing at a certain date. if all these deaths are linked to the same person with this dna, that would raise the question in this case as well. how do you answer that when you study serial killers? >> such a great question. some of it is because there is

obviously this need to kill, this impulse to kill. that might be satisfied over time. but as dana said such intense media attention. presumably the killer realized a lot of law enforcement and media attention. the families were vocal. maybe he should stop so he won't be caught, he or she, we believe it's a he but ultimately it's probably what stopped a lot of these murders just the fact he might be caught. >> dana: you know, however, joe, if we go back to you maybe he didn't stop. there are unsolved murders in suffolk county. >> absolutely. the fact that there are so many different bodies that were recovered along that strip on the beach. they had a baby, a male found over there. so it may well have been a dumping grounds like in brooklyn over in that area. it could be that.

but i think mercedes is correct when she says the evidence is going to be coming in ways of dna and the way we have technology today they can tie a lot of these cases together. i think they were very methodical in doing the revisiting the case the way they did this time. so i think you will see other cases possibly tie into this and answer to the other thing why he stopped doing it, he -- he is getting the attention because of the media attention that has been given to this because of the families and everything. that probably stymied him for a little while and now we'll see what happens putting all these cases together to tie it into this individual or there may be individuals. >> bill: it is an extraordinary thing in modern media today when you can have podcasts on crimes or netflix documentaries as i mentioned that help investigators raise the attention for unsolved cases.

and they take that information and they figure out in the end what the answer is. joe, thank you, mercedes, thanks to you. appreciate the input and see what we get later today. eight minutes past. there is this. >> president biden: my hope is and my expectation is you'll see that ukraine makes significant progress on their offensive and that it generates an negotiated settlement. >> this is a big deal here. president biden saying he is optimistic that ukrainian gains against russia will lead to a settlement. he authorized up to 3,000 more u.s. forces to europe to talk about that job kirby, nsc coordinator from the north lawn of the white house. thank you for your time coming back with us today. you can explain the 3,000, what they will be used for and why now. also what the president said yesterday, he insists that

zelensky ended up very happy after this summit. what changed between his reaction on wednesday and thursday? >> i'll take that one first and go to the 3,000. on the meeting with zelensky that lasted for two hours, an hour longer than it was supposed to be. these are two leaders that know each other well now and have a very good relationship, very candid relationship and that's what occurred in the course of that meeting. the president laid out for president zelensky what he is thinking about in terms of future nato membership and just as critically what the united states is going to continue to do with our g7 partners to meet the security commitments that ukraine will need in the long term. they will have a long border with russians and have needs. he made president zelensky how committed the united states is to the long term both in terms of their security but also in terms of their eventual membership in nato. back to the european continent and this announcement by the pentagon. i think it's important to keep it in context.

we've already increased by 20,000 the number of troops on the european continent. we have been able to keep that rotational presence there. more than 80,000 troops in europe. that's a lot. what we'll do with these small number of 3,000 national guardsmen. these are people specialists in things like administrative, logistics supply, medical, dental. the functions to support and sustain a large troop presses for a long time. what this is, a realization of the fact that we know, the president knows, the security environment in europe is changed. not has changed and will changed. it has changed now and make sure we have the proper force posture to be able to support an additional eastern flank presence for the long haul. >> dana: for people here at home watching the summit and the president coming back and saying look, we had a great meeting and a good trip. what can you say was decided there amongst the leaders about

how to actually bring this war in ukraine to conclusion? >> i think everybody realizes that we want the war to end today, of course, the best possible solution would be some sort of negotiated settlement as you heard the president talk about. but everybody realizes, dana, that's not possible right now. right now has to happen they succeed, ukrainians succeed in the counter offensive they're conducting so they have momentum and they can push and coerce president putin to realize it is time to sit down and talk and end this war. right now putin has no incentive to end this war. he continues to rain down cruise missiles and drones on cities and civilians and defense entrenchments from the donbas. he has no insensitive to stop fighting in ukraine. zelensky needs to give him that incentive. helping them in the counter offensive they can go to the negotiating table when it is the right time in a position of

strength. >> bill: the war grinds on. meanwhile you have an american held prisoner in russia, evan gershkovitch entirely innocent. the president addressed a possible prisoner swap to get his release. >> president biden: i'm serious about prisoner exchange and doing all we can to free americans being illegally held in russia or anywhere else for that matter. and that process is underway. >> bill: makes you shake your head. an innocent american working in russia and had been for some time. you had a prisoner stop with britteny griner and in exchange you gave a well-known convicted arms dealer by the name of viktor bout back to the russians. a friend of vladimir putin. are you entertaining a possible trade like that yet again? if so, why? >> a couple of points here. first, let's not forget paul

whalen. paul has been there for a decade now and we have to work to get him home and we are. .1. .2, look, each case has to be treated individually, bill. some you do with personnel swap and some able to get home without swapping people at all. each case is individual and we have to approach them that way. they are both charged with espionage which we know is ridiculous. evan is not a spy any more than paul is. but because they are, the russians raise the bar on what they are willing to trade for. the president and his team are working this out trying to have conversation with the russians about what would make the most sense. i can't stand here before you today and say it is absolutely this is the prisoner swap that will occur and here is the individual we're going the trade for evan. we aren't at that point now. you can also understand we wouldn't talk publicly about much of the details anyway. we wouldn't want torpedo a deal in the offing. we are working on it every single day. >> dana: the concern that i'm

sure you share it, which is the precedent setting. because of the high-profile viktor bout that was exchanged for britteny griner could that have led to somebody like evan being taken even though he is completely innocent but that other americans risk being taken prisoner as well-being held even though they are completely innocent because they believe the united states is going to exchange and come to the table with something that they very much want? >> mr. putin doesn't appear to need any excuses to round up americans on trumped up charges and doing it for a long, long time. it is difficult to see what happened to evan is because of the trade with britney. he has been doing this for a long, long time. really no sense of justice or rule of law there in the sense that we know it in russia. so we're going to continue to do what we can to get these guys home. we warned americans not to travel to russia. he urge you to do that before

you travel anywhere overseas. we don't think it is a time for americans to be in russia. if you are there you need to leave. it is not a safe place for americans. >> bill: for a reporter working there on a story it is a different matter. thank you for coming back today. good to see you. let's continue to conversation. >> great to be with you guys. >> dana: thank you. the secret service ends the probe into the cocaine found in the west wing of the white house earlier this month despite so many unanswered questions how it happened. lucas tomlinson is live with the latest. i imagine they hope to wash their hands of this whole ordeal? >> that's right, dana. white house officials have been telling reporters privately for days not to expect much out of this investigation. turns out they were right. the secret service announced they concluded their investigation saying they have no suspects of interest. let's look at that statement, quote, without physical

evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through -- who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. it is closed due to lack of physical evidence. members of congress received a briefing about the investigation yesterday. one lawmaker said she was given the following clue and is surprised it was not acted upon. >> what we're told is there are 182 lockers on the wall of the foyer in the west wing for individuals to put items in. and this was found in locker number 50. the key currently is missing. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy says it should not take inspector clouseau to solve the case. democrats say you can't test everyone. >> as a member of congress when i come with my security i still go through security.

they have cameras 24/7. it just seems to me when it comes to the biden family they get treated different than anybody else. >> i heard republican members suggest they should drug test everybody in the white house for that week or that day or that would strike me as a massively disproportionate and overblown response. >> one more thing that came out of that classified meeting with the secret service and lawmakers, marijuana was discovered on two separate occasions at the white house in july and september. >> dana: okay. curious. >> bill: answer down there. thank you, 17 past. it is deja vu for a controversial hand-out. the biden administration wiping around tens of billions in student debt for a million borrowers. remember what the supreme court court ruled three weeks ago? is this a desperate bid for the youth vote and will it fly yet

>> bill: fox news alert now on breaking news following all morning long. live look. this is long island. it's roughly 25 miles east of new york city. a suspect said to be in police custody as of last night in connection with an unsolved murders. the suspect will be in court today. news conference later this afternoon. we'll be on this and find out what police think they've discovered fine le perhaps. dana. >> dana: let's go to the southern border. greg abbott's marine barrier is nearly complete. the floating border wall in the middle of the rio grande. crews began installing it over the weekend. one lawsuit has been filed against the state over the operation. abbott says it's necessary to curb illegal crossings into eagle pass.

pretty interesting to see. i'm wondering, i want to see how it works in practice. it looks like you could get over it. >> the governor thinks it could be effective. others said not so much. you have to do something right now. points for creativity and see whether or not it's effective. more breaking news. the biden administration is canceling $39 billion in student debt for more than 800,000 borrowers, education secretary miguel cardona saying this. for far too long borrowers fell through the cracks of a broken system that failed to keep accurate track of their progress toward forgiveness. the statement from chicago, austin goolsbee, our old friend, federal reserve president back with us. steven moore misses you. don't be a stranger. good morning to you in chicago. what is this? two weeks ago the supreme court ruled against you. 6-3 against the administration. what's different this time? are you just trying to take

another crack or bite at the apple? >> well, bill, as you know, the federal reserve studiously stays out of by rule and principle stays out of the political fight. i have no insight or knowledge of what their legislation is doing. this matter about student debt forgiveness is of front rate concern to those students but if you take the macroeconomy it's not a materially large number that would change the inflation or unemployment rate. that's the law gives the fed that job. you have to tame inflation and maximize. >> bill: there may be a legal question. for that we'll take it somewhere else understanding your position. the costco coo said americans are changing shopping habits

which indicates to them based on history americans fear a recession could come their way. you, however, seven days ago talked about a golden path. rising rates in the federal reserve and no recession. do you feel better, worse, or the same about that from a week later? >> probably all of the above. i said the golden path so far. that's what we're on so far. the fed's job by law is to stabilize prices and maximize employment. if we can inflation down without a major recession, it is rare to be able to do that. there is a path. that will be a triumph if we can pull it off. the best part of the economy, as you know, has been the job market. the worst part has been inflation. this is promising this week we got inflation numbers that show inflation is coming down at a pretty rapid clip. but still higher than where we want it but making progress.

>> bill: okay. the whole idea changing habits, that's a tell tale sign when people aren't buying meat and buying chicken, when they are buying cosmetics and candles but delaying other expenses it could have a long lasting impact on the economy, quick answer. >> indeed it could be a sign of something slowing down. remember in the pandemic we couldn't spend money on services so we shifted to spending on physical goods. now that is shifting back to normal. if costco has less spending on tvs, that wouldn't be unexpected. >> bill: watching for mortell tales. the market been on a tear. they say taylor swift is responsible for a rise in hotel revenue. you should hire t swifty? >> we have to get her to chicago. taylor swift people like her so much they went out and spent so

much money that it showed up on the radar screen of the philadelphia fed and got in the fed book. i don't know if beyonce will have a sponsor what we'll do? >> come back soon and we'll get you back together and have the money friday sessions. austin goolsbee live in chicago. >> dana: i didn't know the market was on a tear, did you know that? i didn't know that. i know inflation went down. wages haven't kept up. there is an interesting thing. a white house saying people, the economy is better, why don't you feel better? people don't feel better because in their day-to-day lives they are realizing it's hard to keep up. they don't feel like they can make ends meet. that's difficult for republican or democrat. >> bill: hundreds of dollars for a concert ticket and the federal reserve has attention to that. >> dana: would you pay for them?

put you on the spot. >> bill: when do you want to go? >> dana: let's go to this. an entertainment issue. actors join writers on the picket lines today. we have what it means for hollywood. hi. >> hi. this is the first time in 63 years that both gilds have been on strike at the same time. what that means is all scripted tv and film production shut down at midnight. now that you have the actors guild joining is it gives writers more negotiating power. what's driving this? pay primarily. two major sticking points is how much workers are paid when their content is licensed out to streaming services. there isn't a standard model for that and the use of artificial intelligence in the projects. the rise of netflix and other streamers has actors and writers feeling like the current hollywood model is broken.

>> we had no choice. we are the victims here. we are being victimized by a very greedy entity. i am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us. >> now this doesn't just impact future productions and delay your tv shows and movie. major blockbusters, mission impossible is opening today. barbie and oppenheimer next week. the strike means actors can't promote movies. as it was announced yesterday, the oppenheimer cast walked out of their premier. viewers are clamoring for content. there was a writer's strike in 2007 that caused 2.1 billion in economic damage just the writers. this ultimately puts streamers between a rock and hard place.

they want to cut costs but can't lose subscribers because they don't have content with the strike lengthening. we're following it closely. >> dana: watch this in the meantime. >> bill: 31 past the hour. the future of the annual defense bill swings in the balance today ashen republican lawmakers seek to dewoke the military. house conservatives passed an amendment to limit the pentagon's abortion policy. democrats are walking away from the bill putting the measure in jeopardy. chad pergram is live on the hill with more today. what did you find out? >> good morning. the gop-led house could approve the bill today. perhaps on a party line vote after the plan shifted well to the right. conservatives are pleased with the updates. >> we're just trying to correct the ship back to the point in the direction it is supposed to go. overwhelming support among republicans. we have to work it out. it gets tricky in the late hours.

>> the house adopted the plan to overturn the pentagon's abortion policy. lawmakers also barred the military from cover transgender medical treatments. the hard right makeover is to the bill upset democrats who wanted to vote yes. that includes west point graduate and new york democrat pat ryan. >> we worked to pass a broadly bipartisan 58-1 bill out of committee and then the far right hijacked our national security and this makes our country less secure, less safe and an insult to all of our women in uniform. i'm a no. we can't allow this to pass. >> nancy mace of south carolina argued against the amendment to block the military's abortion policy but mace backed down in the end. bipartisan coalition has supported the annual defense bill for six decades. but that may not be the case this year. bill. >> bill: chad pergram on the

hill. got a heat wave for millions of americans in the southwest. shattering records over the weekend. death valley is forecast to see a high of 131 degrees on sunday. if we get there, that would mark the hottest temperature the planet has ever known. wow. nearly a third of americans under a heat alert with phoenix, arizona all week long hot temperatures. that's what you get when you live in the desert. however, we could see highs that passed 110 degrees for the 15th straight day in phoenix. air conditioners are working. >> dana: top democrats are prepping a contingency plan for biden's re-election bid. they are sounding the alarm over the campaign's slow start with some beginning to call for possible replacement. so could democrats see a battle for the nomination next spring? josh is editor is chief of jewish insider. great to have you. josh, every time i tell my

friends that biden is most likely going to be the nominee. biden is running and put the genie back in the lamp it crawls back out. cnn reporting the headline slow pace of biden's re-election campaign feeds democrats 2024 anxiety and talks about the quiet whispers, a possible replacement and then at the end several of the people involved are described, they say, despite what he has said, despite the campaign announced, president joe biden won't actually be running for re-election. so this will get some tongues wagging. what are they going to say? >> well look, dana, you can't spin away your age. joe biden is 80 years old. he would be 86 years old at the end of his second term. voters across the board democrats included, are very worried about whether he can serve out that full term. whether he has the health and stamina to do so. i think there is no doubt at all, dana, that age and health

are president biden's biggest vulnerabilities if he is on the ballot in 2024. dana, look at every poll that has been done between biden and trump, biden and desantis and any other republican. his numbers are depressed in large part because a lot of democratic voters aren't excited to show up and support him because they are worried about his age and whether he can serve out the full term. this is the elephant in the room. you can't spin it away. i know a lot of officials at the white house are talking about the president's experience and wisdom, but ultimately a picture is worth a thousand words. what you see on tv on a daily basis. >> dana: the pictures they put out overnight from president biden's official twitter account. joe biden and kamala harris and says kamala harris and i are ready to finish the job. they are trying to show in pictures and still shots to try to get people over this anxiety. it is not just coming from

conservatives. this is coming from democrats. josh, have you ever covered something like this? i don't think so. you have covered many campaigns. this would be unique. when would biden have to make this decision if the democrats are actually going to be able to get somebody ready to run if it's not him, somebody on the ballot and ready to go? >> that's what really is worrying a lot of democrats because time is running out. if there was something unanticipated. if biden had a health scare at some point in the next few months that would not give democrats a whole lot of time to prepare and figure out who would be the successor. dana, i think if biden decided to step aside and you had all the other candidates, vice president harris or governor newsom in california, governor whitmer it would be a mess. it would be a civil war of a primary and that's i think what is keeping democrats aligned with president biden. >> dana: they are in a fix of

their own making. the republicans on the other hand are continuing to try to push forward with this republican primary. ron desantis in a campaign memo per nbc news said super tuesday is critically important we won't dedicate resources to super tuesday that slow our momentum in new hampshire. we will revisit the investment in the fall. there has been some consternation about his numbers, his donors, also talking to the press anonymously saying they are concerned about desantis as well? >> whenever you see a memo like this it is not a good sign for the campaign that leaks it out there. it is a response to a lot of worries in political and donor circles that ron desantis is struggling to catch fire. you know, dana, usually when a candidate announces they are running for president you get a little bounce, a little boost. ron desantis did not get a bounce since he announced his presidential campaign. if anything he has lost ground

in the last month or two. look, it's a challenge. plenty of time left for the governor to turn things around. what's worrisome isn't just the national polls but there is a lot of worry in iowa and new hampshire where people on the ground and polling there isn't showing any kind of momentum, either. desantis has a lot of money and a good story but needs to execute. >> dana: if anybody asks me this weekend will joe biden be the nominee? i might hedge this weekend. i've been pretty solid up until now. thanks, josh. >> thanks, dana. >> bill: pretty good. we are watching this breaking news, dana. an arrest made in the 2010 gill go beach murders long thought to be the work of a serial killer in long island, new york. seattle community fuming after a homeless encampment set up a swimming pool has numbers talking in ways they never have before about this. >> we have had homeless

>> bill: fox news alert now. watching the story all day long

here. long island, new york, east of new york city a live look at massapequa park where a suspect is now in police custody. said to be in connection with the unsolved gilgo beach murders. that suspect expected in court later today. a news conference will happen this afternoon. new dna evidence is the indication early on. we'll see how it plays out and how police and investigators answer the question. that's the home they went to last night. the suspect is in cuss too dee and that home is no longer accessible to anyone but investigators. >> dana: huge news. >> these people can come in and totally trash the place. >> dana: outrage over a swimming pool at a homeless encampment. neighbors say it's a slap in the face after voicing concerns for months. let's bring in lawrence jones. what is going on? >> it reminds me of the guy in

get all those services as well as live on the street. that's what we're dealing with. >> bill: new york city when you pass a homeless person sitting next to a battery outlet, right, near a telephone charging their i-phones all day long. here is a neighbor in seattle talking about the swimming pool in the encampment there. >> elderly people especially should not have to worry about our possessions or our lives. >> it is not safe. please get them out of here. >> bill: city leadership has not followed the lead. numbers up 22% over a 12-month period with drug overdoses, 2,799 that have been reported. >> i've been covering this across the country. when i went to seattle i go to a park because some of the residents had sent us a tip to cover the story there. it is full of homeless people. as we're trying to do some reporting to say why are you all

in the park? kids can't come to the park. needles and caps are everywhere, human feces. it is morning television, all over the park. the homeless guy attacks my security detail that's there with me. it is so -- they feel so entitled to this area because elected officials have told them it's okay. >> dana: so you went to my hometown, denver, and i will give you a chance to say why you went there and introduce the clip that we are going to see more of on your show saturday night. >> my first job was not in tv, it was working in juvenile court. the reason why they're committing crime. i have been covering crime so much on my show i wanted to talk with some of the juveniles in the system and a clip of one of those individuals, watch. >> lewis, how did you end up here? >> this court case is really

assault charges. and i'm here and it has been helping out a lot by a.g. helping get my life better in shape because if i keep this up, about 20 years from now i could be dead, homeless or in prison. i'm trying to change my future and better myself. >> later on in the segment i asked him, i said is there anything that we can do as a society to change this? what would you like to see? and he said i would like to have a dad. it's one thing to have pundits and people that are academics say the fatherlessness impacts us when it comes to the crime rate. but to have a 13-year-old say i wish i had a dad. his dad runs a local gang as well and is in prison. these were all young people that are some of them that i talked with got manslaughter charges,

assault charges, they are trying to change their life around with this program. >> dana: do you think it will work? >> i do. but it takes a lot of people that care and you have to get them before they start committing criminal activity. it seems like there is no talk about family, no talk about education. this is going to get worse, i'm afraid. especially with covid, as well as there is no consequences. we talked with these young people about that. they need the consequences. one of the young man, his manslaughter charged he killed his 16-year-old brother. he had two incidents where he was speeding and got off. then he killed his brother. so consequences do change things. our criminal justice system right now has 0 consequences. >> dana: check out cross-country with lawrence jones saturday night at 9:00. >> bill: a question for you. are we alone in the university? republican lawmaker sounding the

alarm after viewing classified ufo footage yet to be made public. hill -- >> it used to be one of curiosity but now a question of serious concern among serious lawmakers on capitol hill. we have seen the video of the unknown aerial phenomena. a recent whistleblower, former intelligence official saying the pentagon has covertly been storing extraterrestrial spacecraft for decades. rubio, chair of the intel committee saying they can't blow off the whistleblower concerns. >> do you think the pentagon is keeping congress in the dark whether or not they have extraterrestrial aircraft and what they're doing with it? >> we don't know anything. people with high classifications have made certain allegations. either they are telling the truth, which is a problem. or we have people in important

positions lying to us and are crazy, that would be a problem. >> you feel like you are getting the information you need? >> not necessarily. >> not just extra tearsall spacecraft the pentagon may have captured. they may have found dead pilots in the recovery of space vessels. it sounds farfetched. >> do you think it's plausible? >> obviously if these craft are coming into our airspace somebody has to be controlling them. and so i would assume that would be the case. i think at some point they will have to say tell the truth one way or the other. they say ufos don't exist, why does the pentagon put pressure on people trying to come as witnesses? >> it is not just republicans who feel like they aren't getting enough answers, chuck schumer has legislation that

would declassify and create a commission to declassify documents about ufos showing what the government may know. so we may have answers sooner than we think, bill. >> bill: you might be changing my mind in time. thank you. thanks, hillary, nice to see you on the hill. >> dana: i'm holding out. fox news alert on the breaking news. we'll be following it all morning long. a live look at massapequa park on long island where a suspect is in police custody in the connection with the unsolved gilgo beach murders. are educators in chicago putting politics over their students? veteran homeowners making a big car payment every month? car loans can be expensive

chicago. >> with the placement of union organizer brandon johnson the chicago teachers union has proven its political potency. as the union grows more powerful it prioritizes social issues, schools and minority students don't seem to benefit. >> our brother, teacher, organizer. >> stacy davis gates is often nearby. >> the power behind the throne now. he is a creature of the chicago teachers union. >> they directly funded 20% of johnson's campaign. add in the american federation and illinois federation of teachers and funded half of his war chest. >> this is no longer a teachers

union, a political group. their goals are to do social justice. they don't care about education anymore. >> the illinois state report card shows last year 11 percent of black chicago k-12 students could read at grade level. of% kept up with math. >> hispanic students fell behind. white students did better, close to 50% up to grade level. bill. >> dana: okay. bill, we're back on air. >> bill: thank you very much. 10:00 now on the east coast and this is a story that's breaking right now. >> dana: police arresting a suspect today in the gilgo beach killings. a live look at the scene in massapequa park new york 20 minutes from where the vick whims' bodies were found. investigation started more than a decade ago when a police found the remains of four women wrapped in burr lap in a wooded area near the beach. welcome to a new
