♪ will: good morning. welcome to "fox & friends" where we start with a fox news alert. the suspected gilgo beach serial killer pleading not guilt to six counts of murder yesterday. >> and long island authorities say they cracked the decade-old cold case thanks in part to dna from a pizza crust. pete: alexandria hoff joins us. >> reporter: good morning. there's some indication a few years back that the fbi had reenergized this investigation. 59-year-old architect rex hewerman had lived for all of those years about 25 minutes from where 11 sets of human remains were found on the long island beach parkway between 2010 and 2011. he has been charged in three of those murders in the death of

amber lynn costello, megan waterman and melissa -- he's also the prime suspect in the killing of maureen raider barnes as well. now, the married father of two entered the courtroom yesterday and pleaded not guilty. >> the district attorney outlined his case, i will say to you folks that it's extremely circumstantial in nature. in terms of speaking to my client, the only thing i can tell you that he did say as he was in tears was i didn't do this, and we're looking forward to fighting this case in a court of law, not in the court of the press. >> reporter: as you mentioned, investigators ultimately matched dna found on a pizza crust to a hair left op one of the bodies. the fbi analyzed burner phones that they say he was still using to take selfies and book appointments with sex workers. now in a search of his home that happened after the arrest, law enforcement say they found thousands of explicit online searches, and this all confirms

for one woman a disturbing encounter she had with him earlier this month while walking in the park. she said, quote, he had very dirty clothes on. he popped right out of the woods. everywhere i went in the woods, he would pop out somewhere. the first time he came up behind me, i felt breathing behind me. now, this case is far from closed though. of the bodies originally found, police still need to figure out who killed six of those people. back to you. will: thank you, alexandria. we're going to be talking about this case throughout the morning. two details that stick out is how he caught them. you heard his attorney say it was circumstantial in nature. they tracked burner phone mega-data down until they had a pool of people they could look at more closely. it's interesting technology, technology i have some questions about, but the other thing is this area, gilgo beach, 11 bodies found. 11 bodies and really only at this point 3 or 4 attributable to him. which either he has more cases

that will come soon, or it was a dumping ground over a long period of time, or there was multiple serial killers on long island. >> right. and this is based on the fact that they found several hairs on the victims whether it was this gentleman's hair or his wife's hair, and the last time i checked, dna isn't circumstantial. i think we're going to start seeing a little bit more information about what led to the arrest, but, you know, it's more than just the cell phone data and the internet searches. sounds like they have some dna and, you know, hopefully there will be some justice for these victims and their families. pete: yeah. it strikes me as just the right kind of case the fbi should be jumping in and helping on to close this case, give some finality to families and some calm to a community which has been living under total uncertainty as to what's going on. so it sounds like it's heated up over the last year, glad they found their man. will: meanwhile, we move to politics. there's been a bit of a coronation, i think that's fair to say. coronation is maybe not the right word, but there is no

debate, there will literally be no debate over who the democratic nominee for president will be, and that's reflected in the latest fund raising on the side of the dnc where $72 million were raised by joe biden in the second quarter of this year. here's a little context, donald trump in that same period, $35 million. ron desantis, $20 million. here's the other challengers to joe biden in the democratic primary. rfk, $6 million. maryann williamson not pictured there, by the way, will be a guest on the will cain podcast. joe biden, he is obviously going to be your guy with $72 million. >> well, will, you said to put it into context, but with let's actually put it into context. sure, joe biden's raised $72 million to this point, but in 2019 trump raised $105 million at this point. 2011, obama, $86 million. so really in that context, i would say it's lackluster, and that's reflected in the polls.

pete: yeah. i mean, actually, when you look at those numbers, there's some stunningly low numbers. mike pence at $1.2 million, a former vice president? desantis did that $20 million many a portion of the quarter, but still most of that money came up front, and it's dried up since. important to note to what you said, doctor, joe biden has the dnc. so none of these other candidates have the fund raising arm of the entire with party. joe biden's not raising any of this. the machine is raising this to prepare it for him or whomever might come after him. his folks will try to spin this as a good number, but it's mediocre, it's part of the slow roll of the election. as this is happening, more and more people including the u new york times are coming out and saying, should it really be joe? i saying things everyone is saying. here's an op-ed in "the new york times," i believe it was frank bruni, who said, democrats, it's okay to talk about hunter biden.

he goes on to write this: observe that it's one thing, a noble, beautiful thing for the him to give steadfast support and unconditional love to his profoundly troubled sewn, but it's another for his son to attend a state dinner. i believe there's more than ample room to talk about whether biden is the strongest possible attackers to take on trump, ron desantis or whomever this comes. multiple articles and multiple cable news segments and and admissions mostly privately by democrats saying i don't think joe is our guy. nick: the -- nicole. : no one is excited about him except maybe the women on "the view." it's really an anti-trump fund raising. robert kennedy wants to go against president biden, and i think it really at this point, we need to have a serious conversation who's going to be the best candidate to run for the democratic party. i mean, we had robert kennedy

jr. on "fox & friends" this week, and he said himself he hopes to be able to debate president biden. take a listen. >> we're going to try to get the president to debate. we think it's really important for, i think the, the democratic party because ultimately the president is going to have to debate a republican, and the republican likely -- we don't know -- is going to be trump. trump is probably the most successful debater in this country since lincoln/douglass in the way he dispatched 16 republican opponents one after the other in 2016 was really quite extraordinary. he has his own technique that people like, and it's like going to a prize fight. you need practice. >> sure. >> and that usually happens during the primary. and asking the president not to debate during the primary is like asking a prize fighter to practice for his big bout by sitting on the couch and eating

chick-fil-a. will: he makes a great point, and that's what i'm talking about, the coronation of joe biden, they're just not going to subject him to any type of threat, to mare january williamson who is polling at 10% or rfk jr. who is follow -- polling at close to 20%. now, i understand from joe biden's perspective why -- pete: why would you? nicole: because it's for democracy -- pete: they don't care about that. they want to win. nicole: it's a huge voter issue, economy and making -- will: you're make a moral argument, but from a strategic perspective, it just doesn't do anything for joe biden. it does reveal there's no real belief in democracy, that's just a talking point. but, yeah, rfk makes a great point there. okay, fine, your strategy is there's nothing to win here in debating me except you don't get to duck a debate with donald trump or with the republican nominee, and if you take your first punches in a general

election debate, it's not going to go well -- pete: how many debates were there between trump and biden? was this one -- will: there was three, right? pete: i think there were supposed to be three, but i think there ended up only being two. if it were to be biden-trump, they'll work their hardest to say only have one. to your point, they want to minimize his exposure. turns out he's the president so he has to be out there, but they will work very hard. there's no way. nicole: no, i agree. you know, someone else that they don't like coming out in front of the camera even more than president joe biden is vice president kamala harris. her latest gaffe talking about her plan for fighting climate change. take a listen. >> set an ambitious goal to cut our greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. think about the impact on something like public health.

when we invest in clean energy can and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean are water. [applause] [laughter] will: more of the children that are alive? reduce the population? nicole: don't worry, white house transcript, they corrected it to pollution. she meant reduce pollution, not -- pete: well, reducing population is a part of what many of the greenies have believed in for -- nicole: they actually have said they need to stop having children. will: it fits into one of the things they believe, we have an overpopulation problem. was it a gaffe or consistent with what they've said about climate change? nicole: didn't elon musk say one of the biggest issues we're saying is underpopulation and that children are having fewer children and maybe that's why he's having so many?

will: that's happening many europe, in japan -- pete: it happen happened in china because of the one child population. nicole: sean and rachel are keeping up -- pete: over 2.1 is what you're going for. i've never seen that .1. will: on these verbal gaffes, pete and i will do a deep dive. we're going to go off the wall on kamala harris' classroom, her eloquence and her greatest hits coming up at 8:40 a.m. pete: the reasons why they continue to drag joe all the way to potential nomination in 2024 is -- will: greatest insurance policy in politics. we're going to bring you this story as well, the international cycling union has adopted a new regulation to ban transgender athletes from women's events. this startses on monday. now, it is to ban transgender athletes who have not

transitioned prior to puberty. this is what was obtained by the associated press. from now on, female transgender athletes who have transitioned after male pube puberty -- puberty will be prohibited from participating in women's events in all categories in various disciplines. nicole: it's a little bit bananas that we're having this conversation because you are seeing cyclists who were getting penalized and awards stripped from them because they tested positive for certain substances including some external androgenous hormones. so, yes, you would figure that someone who was born a man or male went through puberty, has testosterone and then they decide that they want to be a woman and say that they're a woman. it's the exact same thing. they have the same hormones inside of their system that other people were having titles stripped from. no sense whatsoever. pete: and they've been denying the science throughout. there's an interesting wrinkle in the world of cycling, because

there's a transgender south korean cyclist who was a very competitive male cyclist, from what i understand. i don't follow the sport sport, but he was a good male cyclist who transition thed and and became a women's cyclist and recent. ly competed and won a race but said he's not proud to have won that race. the goal was actually to prove a point. here's the quote from i believe it was the korean times. my goal was to stir controversy and get my story heard by competing. i'm not proud of myself at all. i believe other transgender athletes feel the same. they may not want to admit it, but they're being selfish. there is no honor as an athlete in that. will: wow. pete: he qualified to go to the next race, declined saying i'm trying to prove a point, that there are physical differences between men if women and i shouldn't be competing in a women's category. will: doctor, was your point that even if the prohibition on athletes who have already gone

through puberty, i read it as a half-commendable half-measure. even if you haven't gone through puberty, you still have male hormones in your body, male bone structure the, you're still a male. and, i mean, my solution would be to this you compete in the category of your birth because that's what you yes e netically are. so my point is that's a nice step for the cycling union, but it's still only a halfway measure. you -- and, by the way,ing i think it's a horrific incentive. nicole: that's exactly where i wanted to go. that is saying now you're boeing to be pushing -- going to be pushing these people to transition younger, before they go to puberty. the biggest issue, i have several issues, but one, brain's not formed; two, hormones are not developed. they don't actually know who they're going to become with, so to do something that is so perm eninnocent whether it's chemical or surgery, it is beyond belief that people are allowing this to happen.

pete: that's exactly right. at 12 you want to be that future cyclist -- nicole: make that decision right now. you can't get that too, you can't vote, you can't even drive a car, but you can have a decision to have mastectomies or other very inveighs arive medical and surgical treatment that cannot be reversed. pete: staggering. all right. let's turn now to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. a police officer in fargo, north dakota, is dead after a gunman opened fire on authorities in broad daylight yesterday. police killed the suspect who shot two other officers who are in critical condition. i hope they're all right. fargo police department set to reveal more details later today. and republicans in congress passing an $886 billion defense spending bill that includes bans on woke pentagon policies to curb the military's abortion travel reimbursement policy as well, transgender care and dei programs. 49 house democrats voting in

nicole: a new report from the cdc painting a dire picture of the impact that covid lockdowns had on children. data showing that developmental disabilities picked up significantly over the pandemic. some 8.5% of children ages 3-17 were diagnosed with a developmental disability in 2021, a 17% increase over 2019. and boys seem to be more affected than girls with nearly 1 in 10 diagnosed from 2019 to 2021 compared to 5.3% of girls. our next guest says she has been seeing this in her own practice. joining us now is clinic director and speech pathologist at the speech and learning institute, jacqueline. thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning. nicole: these numbers are staggering, but they're not

surprising. many physicians, speech pathologists, parents alike, we warned about the consequences of prolonged mask wearing. what do you make of these numbers? >> the numbers are astounding. it's not surprising at all. what we're seeing in our clinic is tremendous amount of referrals of speech and language delays, developmental delays, social pragmatic delays, just general motor planning disorder. it's really, it's astounding, and it's not a surprise at all. the mandates that were in place, people staying at home for a long period of time and not getting out and socializing has just negatively impacted so much of our development. nicole: do you find for every child, 17% increase, is every child able to get in to speech. a pa thomass, or are you finding yourself strapped and not having enough resources for all of these children? >> and that's exactly what's happening. we're on waiting lists, and all the local clinics in the area are, you know, consistently on a waiting list. so it's very difficult for

people to get the services that they need. schools that are backed up with referrals and and, you know, it's just an ongoing issue. nicole: it's devastating. i'm a mother of three boys, my youngest was in kindergarten during march 2020 at the start of the lockdown, he himself is now in speech therapy because he is one of the statistics. he's dealing with some speech problems himself. >> right. nicole: so, you know, despite the pushback, the cdc continue saying kids need to be masked, they were even masking into 2023. there are so many parents at home right now who have a child who's dealing with some sort of developmental delay. what is your message to them? >> my message would be early intervention, talk to your pediatrician, get the referral. don't wait with. they really need the assistance. help them to catch up with, you know, where they were. or need to be. nicole: thank you so much. >> thank you. nicole: still ahead, a new york architect pleading not guilty to murder charges in connection to the decade-old gilgo beach

-- see you this morning. this has been a moment that has been a long time coming. do you think they got the right guy? >> i think so. those of us on long island are overjoyed to have finally caught this serial killer, and i think the evidence is going to prove that. will: let's talk about some of the evidence that led them to rex sureman . it seemed to be a -- rex heuermann. it seemed to be a narrowing a pool of potential suspects down to where they could use anecdotal data. a truck he drove, a physical description until, ultimately, they picked rex heuermann and found a way to run dna. >> right. this started ten years ago, it was a disastrous investigation at the beginning. ten years later we have a superstar new d.a. with a new police commissioner, rodney harrison. they joined a task force, put together the top people and suddenly you have more dna data, more telephone the data to bring it all together. will: and this, the reason this took a decade, from what i've

understood -- and you tell me if i'm wrong here -- it's a combination of two contributing factors. one, the advancement of dna research. simply, they couldn't have analyzed the hairs that they found ten years ago as they can today. and to be honest, the second was a lot of problems in the police departments out on long island. >> yeah. you think about it, our police chief at the time, at the beginning, 2010 when they found the bodies, he actually kicked the fbi out of the investigation for three years. no one understood that. our district attorney at the time, he went to jail. so they had a lot of things going on, they weren't focused on the case. will: and that was corruption cases which led to the suspicion that the murder could have been inside law enforcement, but in retrospect, looks like it was a corrupt police department dealing with its own issues over this investigation. >> that's correct. the rumors have been out there that it was a cop for years. remember, the corruption was at the highest levels, the men and women of the suffolk county police department are great, but the leadership problems were there. will: what do we do, phil, with

the fact that this man, heuermann, has been charged right now with three of these victims, potentially four, but we have eleven bodies in gilgo beach. >> right. yeah, there has to be more evidence found on the other bodies. i don't know what they have, it'll be coming out. i think they have the person responsible for the four, the other six or seven remain to be seen. there may have been been other people who dumped bodies there. hopefully there's not another serial killer, but they got the guy for the four at least. will: what makes you so certain? i talked to you about the cell phone data, but to your mind, what is the most damning evidence for rex heuermann? >> i think the dna at the end of the day. the evidence is going to get him. it was from him and his wife on the burlap bag, they got it from the pizza slice, things like that. the telephone day that's going to be helpful, evidently they "evidence from his house and also his business here in manhattan. will: and there were some very

suspicious internet search z as well. >> absolutely, it's psycho. will: he was, i think, searching, hey, why haven't they found this guy? he was searching something about the phone calls that he's now allege to have made to the victims, several different searches on the names of the victims. >> yes. he was looking up the victims, their families, and also you think about it, he was looking how can they catch the guy, the gilgo, through telephone records. there's been talk of that data being used. he looked it up, not to mention the terrible things about torture and things like that. will: you mentioned dna, that mitochondrial dna is certain to a 99.96% chance, so there's a lot -- as his attorney said, there's a lot of circumstrategy evidence, but once you get to the point of dna, it's pretty direct. >> yeah. and the jury's out there in suffolk county are smart, savvy people. they're going to get the dna evidence. i think they'll get a connection if not a plea.

pete: the department of education, so-calledded, announcing a new plan to forgive student loan debt in the wake to have supreme court decision striking down the biden administration's original initiative two weeks ago. the new plan will provide more than 800,000 borrowers with $39 billion in income-based student loan forgiveness. now, to qualify borrowers will have to have, get this, accumlated 20-25 year of qualifying monthly payments. joining us now to react is danly cat toe, finance professor at the university of san diego. dan, thank you for being here. first of all, how are they doing this, in your estimation? if the supreme court strikes down and said it was not constitutional to do it, how are they finding a way to try to say, oh, we're relieving your

student loan debt? >> yeah. good morning to you, pete. if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. we teach our kids that. i don't know the legal aspects to it. now e the -- i know the business aspects, the financial aspects, but as a layperson, it doesn't seem like our founding fathers had in mind -- [laughter] that someone could wake up in the morning and decide to strike $39 billion in taxpayer money. i'm not sure how they're going to do this, but i suspect we'll see a challenge or two. president i was talking to dr. saphier right before this segment. she mentioned if you're paying off student loans for 20-25 years which is one of the qualifying measure, you probably went to law school or medical school, you've got a ton of debt, you're paying off minimum. who's the white house trying to help with this? >> well, it's pretty clear, i mean, if you look at some of the numbers, there's -- most of the student borrowers out there today, pete, owe about $10,000 or less than $20,000, for sure.

so this is really geared toward folks, you know, across the board. it's not necessarily geared toward the physician who accumulates, you know, a million dollars' worth of debt. but having said that, what the president wants to do is go a little bit further and amend the income plans that you talked about so that more people qualify, even those folks that have the very high balances who presumably are in pretty good occupations. pete, the average college grad makes about $1.2 million more than the non-grad over the course of her career. and when you think about that, it's ironic that the non-grad is going to be asked to subsidize the grad. that's really not what we should be doing. pete: so the premise is the same. i mean, they tried to pass something through executive fiat. the supreme court overturned it. so so get into the financial aspects of it. they're changing the parameters of who qualifies? is there income thresholds? like, how much can they really

target this? >> yeah. well, these programs are pretty complicated, in fact, too complicated, they make your hair hurt. not mine, pete. [laughter] basically, what happens is based on your income, your discretionary income, it basically comes up with a formula of how much you pay each month. and if you do that for 20 or in some cases 25 years, eventually the loan is forgiven. the president's going to relax those rules to make them a little bit more user-friendly, to make more folks qualify for that. setting that aside, pete, what we have is, unfortunately, you and i have talked about this before, we have a missed opportunity here where instead of focusing on refollowing our system -- reforming our system which is really what we need, we're focusing on forgiveness. so forgiving instead of reforming, good politics, bad economics. we should be really going to the root of the problem which is the high cost of education. pete: yeah. >> some schools, mine, for example, do a pretty good job at this stuff. others, unfortunately, not so

good. pete: well, the more we do things like this, federally-backed loans that people can't afford, the more we inflate the cost of education across the board which doesn't help the problem to gun with, as we have -- to begin with, as we have discussed. dan, appreciate it. >> all right or, brother. take care. pete: good to see you. let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for your weather forecast. ad. adam: what we're looking at at least on the eastern half of the country, pretty warm temperatures. i feels awfully sticky, that's bringing rounds of showers. 73 in new york city, 71 across chicago, warmer out in the mountain west. where's the rain been? really just the eastern half of the country we've seen round after round after round of showers, stretching down into portions of the mississippi delta there, all along the west -- east coast it has just been is so rainy, so to flooding continues to be a concern. as we can see another round of big showers moving across the midwest including cities from detroit down to cincinnati,

atlanta, stretching up north into scranton, buffalo. and all of that does eventually drift into the northeast where they have seen devastating rains. i'll leave you with the forecasted highs, these are summer-like temperatures, this is what we expect. upper 80s, 90 degrees and once again triple digits across the bottom third of the country. those your weather headlines, now i'll be tossing over to you, will. will: thanks, adam. pennsylvania police releasing new doorbell camera video of an escaped murder suspect on the run for over a week. it shows michael burrham walking past a home towards the woods near near the small city of warren which borders the allegheny national forest. earlier this week crews found a stash of items that they believe he left behind. four children, meanwhile, found alive in the amazon 40 days after surviving a plane crash are now out of the hospital. the father of the two young estelleing the daily mail that the kids have made a total recovery. they were treated for six weeks at a military facility in

[laughter] ny dell: everyone else, shush. will: that's your headlines. pete: in just the latest instance of disruptive climate

protests, activists broke into two separate airports in germany. will: protesters glued themselves to runways and got cancellations and delays for travelers. nicole: mark morano is joining us now. thanks for coming on. >> good morning. nicole: so looking at this, first of all, i don't even want to know how these people got on the runways, it's unauthorized. it really just goes to this generation of throwing tantrums instead of going through the normal channels to enact policy and get with legislators' attention. >> yeah. i mean, this is the group called the last generation. what an ominous name that a they have. in other words, they think unless they throw themselves on these highways, on these airport runways, that they're doomed, that this is it, that the earth -- people have had their run on this planet. but the frightening part, nicole, is this is much, i believe it's much more than a tantrum because you now have

major government reports funded by the u.k. government in one example calling for the shutting down and prevention of new airports to meet the climate agenda. you have a u.k. judge ruled that a third runway at heathrow is not viable in a climate emergency. so the scary thing is the governments and the politicians have been listening to these protesters. they're i shutting down air transportation. in france they banned two-and-a-half hour flights or less, and as an e.u.-wide proposal to ban six-hour flights all to save save the climate. as wacky and nutty as these protesterrers look, there's actual politicians, counts and governments listening to them and following this insane agenda. pete: mark, i wasn't going to go here, but i've heard from a number of people inside the airline industry that say even air traffic control rules here e in the united states have are tightened up in a way that's made air travel that much more difficult. could the point be to make air that travel even here in the states more difficult, more complicated, less frequent in

advancing this agenda? >> absolutely. bloomberg news, major corporate news outlet, had an article about climate compliance costs making cheap airfare a thing of the past. what they're trying to do is make airfare exe especially pence -- expensive and difficult to obtain, and that's actually baked into these climate regulations. absolutely, they're doing everything they possibly can. same thing with cars. they're intentionally collapsing our plentiful car supply by banning gas-powered cars. that creates rationing which creates shortages, which is then going to force people into mass transit. so this is all incredible, like i like joke you'll go nowhere and be happy, but it is a true assault on our freedom of movement in the name of climate change. will: hey, mark, it's being driven by an elite few with an agenda, but i am curious as far as, like, public opinion. this can't make you popular. this can't make your movement popular. delaying flights, canceling flights, getting in the way of

traffic, i mean, the tactic to be as annoying and air -- can irritating as possible. >> yes, it is. in fact, you'll see it block sporting events at halftime, you'll see them out in traffic when your average joe is trying to go back and forth to work. on one hand -- and this is funded by hollywood millionaires and billionaires and the getty family and a whole host of foundations and hollywood directors. it's amazing that they think this is good pr, but as i said, someone in government seems to be listening because their side is making traction. they are literally collapsing our modern form of transportation both plane and car travel, and they're rationing all of our travel. but, no, this is the dumbest pr move, but it works. will: these videos we're seeing, their hands are in the asphalt. nicole: meanwhile, china and india are the world's biggest carbon -- pete: and hollywood keeps fly being on jets. nicole: all right. mark more rap know, thanks so

much. pete: runways feel like more of a target than attarwork though if that's your goal. nicole: all they're doing is stopping flights of just average citizens. it's not fair. pete: it's stupid. coming up, the secret service concluding their investigation into the white house cocaine incident of course with no suspects. why one highly inflynn, radio host is not buying it. straight ahead. >> there's a room in the white >> there's a room in the white house with no video cameras? ain't no damn way. place it with a new one of the same make and model. get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. ♪ we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum ♪ oh, oh, oh...i'll be the judge of that. oh, that's nice... oh!! searchable, verified reviews. that's better than the ham, and i've never said that. booking.com booking.yeah (vo) if you have graves' disease, your eye symptoms could mean something more.
