here's my question for you guys with that beautiful shot of port can canaveral. big sunset guy. but the older i get, the older i get, the sunrise is rising in the rankings. it doesn't -- it hasn't met sunset, cheerily, but -- clearly, but beginning to appreciate the sunrise. nicole: because you're going to sleep much earlier -- will: it's partially this job. no, but not just that, doctor. if you've ever gotten up early just leisurely, not because you had to, but if you just kind of got up and watched the sunrise, it's pretty i amazing. nicole: especially over a nice warm cup of coffee when you have nothing to do and you can just enjoy it. i don't know, i'm a sunset person. i think sunsets are beautiful. pete: yeah, you know, i'm almost never up for the sunrise unless it's looking down sixth avenue. but the other day i got up, like, three hours earlier than normal, i had a bunch. of yard work, i was out there by myself, the world waking up --

will: yes. pete: -- just taking it in is phenomenal. i used to have it a lot in the military, but then someone would be yelling at you, and you hated the morning. beautiful time. will: the world walking up. hunting, surfing with the sun coming up. i bring that up because -- pete: i think i know why. will: the next voice you're going to hear on "fox & friends" knows a thing about surfing. dr. anthony fauci suggests he was not sold on the natural covid origins theory despite what he was telling the public. pete: a former state department investigator claiming fauci was part of a cover-up. nicole: griff jenkins joins us live with more, sur surfer grif- >> by the way, i can't wait to see you guys swim. you know, we truly don't know covid's origins. we may never know, who knows? but this unredacted e-mail may be quite telling because was this naturally occurring or was it a lab leak?

dr. fauci maintains it was naturally occurring, but fortunately the house select committee on covid is doing the digging, and this latest communication probably holds some keys we need to know about because it appears that fauci acknowledged in private that gain of function research was underway in that lab in wuhan, china, according to the undecontacted e -- unare redacted e-mail, and credit dose to martha maccallum's producers on the story because they dug into this as well. take a look at these two images of the same e-mail. one totally redacted9, that was produced from a previous foia request, the other from the committee being released quite telling. one source says the information was not classified, but instead had been hidden because it made fauci look bad because he knew of the gain of function. check this part out, fauci writes to his fellow scientists, quote: that would be most unusual, to have evolved naturally in the bats, and there was a suspicion that this mutation was intentionally

inserted. dr. david asher, who was part of the state department's investigations, says this was a cover-up. >> now they're basically saying that, you know, they had that all the way up to just before the publication, basically, of the paperer. and it was essentially rejected by fauci and by nature medicine itself which is also complicit. the cover-up is so much more extensive, and i can only imagine what's going to come out in the coming weeks as or if many of -- as more of fauci's internal communications are uncovered. >> dr. asher may be right, i covered the committee's hearing this past week, and they told me on friday that they have a lot more questions for fauci. maybe it's time to pull him back up to the hill as a private citizen. guys? will: all right. griff, thank you. pete: great to see you, griff. nicole: safe travels today, by the way. will: this is unsurprising and also ground breaking.

this -- just yesterday almost all of the republican candidates for president, excluding donald trump, took to a stage in iowa. vivek ramaswamy was talking about the contributing factors to the outrage following the 2020 election that manifested in january 6th, and he thought the greatest contributing factor was mass cent orship of the public -- censorship of the public. for the better part of a year, the public was lied to. and if you made an exhaustive list of the issues which we were told not just lies, but that we could not question with the truth, you would have this on your list. what were the origins of covid. of course, that list would be exhaustive and long and cover so many other topics as well. but we now know that fauci was working an absolute public mind control propaganda campaign about the origins of covid. he knew the truth. suppressed it and told us a lie. pete: and we understand, we

almost immediately -- not immediately, but soon after understood what his rationale or reasoning might be for doing so. it was, you know, the u.s. is funding this risky research in china. there's people he's connected to, interested in who are part of that funding, and should the public be made aware of this gain of function research are, maybe it won't continue. maybe we'll be to blame. and as a result, they -- this were a lot of reports that came out and different that slowly but surely tried to snuff out any other outlying view that this could have come from a lab when common sense said wuhan institute of virology, a virus out of wuhan. and they count on redactions, dr. staff fife, time and time again -- dr. dr. saphier. or maybe the people don't want other powerful people to be exposed. nicole: well, that's a exactly it. you know, it's really frustrating when you see a lot of the redactions because it's a half-truth, right in and we deserve the whole truth, especially because of all the consequences that have come from

this. i mean, we had a lot of questions in february 2020, and, you know, it was really upsetting, the fact that you had a group of, quote-unquote, experts and scientists put forth this white paper that essentially said this virus clearly came from natural sources and and didn't come from the lab. but then you actually look at the authors of that white paper who were part of the funding for the wuhan institute of virology, and they were also intimately involved. it was really one of the largest scandal, quite the cover-up, and dr. fauci truly has a lot of explain planing to do. he continues to say he is retiring. i think he should retire. i think the american people have had enough of him. with. will: i want accountability. pete: what does that look like? will: i don't know, pete. that's e what i was sitting here thinking about, what kind of accountability is just, but all i know is i want it to push the limits of what we are, of creativity. obviously, within the bounds --

[laughter] obviously, within the bounds of legality. i'm talking about justice in form of whatever this democratic system has for this mass, absolute gaslighting and lying to the american public not just on this issue that has upended our lives the better part of three years that we're still, today, you've already done a conversation about this this morning, doctor, still to this day we're living with the ramifications. nicole: yes, but they are not going to be held accountable because it was allowed to happen. you had from the white house down to the cdc who was onboard with everything that dr. fauci was saying and anyone who was peeking out against them, they were censored, they were fired, they were criticized. and so they're not going to be held accountable because it was allowed. pete: so let's stick on the theme of the lack of accountability and move over to the white house. when, i don't know, it was a week and change ago when a unstance was found at the white house -- nicole: cocaine. pete: people didn't know initially. and later we found it was cocaine. will, we did an off the wall about where was it located,

nobody knows, a lot of conflicting reports, and then the secret service said we're doing an investigation, we're going to look at the dna and fingerprints, and they came out and conclusively said we have no suspects and we've ended our investigation. we have no idea what's going on there. it's a staggering blocking of the public of any visibility into what could have happened. and, you know, we're going to predictably react probably in a certain way, but it was interesting to see how the breakfast club, which is no conservative outfit, looked at the news that the unconclusive white house -- inconclusive white house investigation. charlemagne the god. >> you mean to tell me there's a room in the white house with no video cameras? ain't no damn way. >> first of all, i am born and raised in washington, d.c., if they're letting people get away with cocaine, let me part-time people out of jail. what is up with that, that's crazy? people have been arrested in the district of columbia for cocaine and they done found it in the white house and they can't

figure out who it is it belong to? is that's crazy, man. nicole: in washington, d.c. alone, even minor possession comes with about 180 days in jail for people. but i just want to talk about in parallel just look at this, for example. when we're talking about the long island serial killer. they got dna off of a pizza crust -- pete: good point. nicole: -- and they catched it to hair that had been out in the elements for years that is over a decade long, and they were able to make that match. but here we are, the secret service, the fbi cannot figure out who had the cocaine. it was on a plastic bag which anyone who has ever picked up a plastic anything knows there is a fingerprint there, not to mention the white house is the most, like, heavily secured with cameras everywhere. i'm not buying it. will: great point about the fbi and the gilgo beach serial killer. maybe we'll just have to wait a decade. i'm sure ten years from now we'll have the solution, the answer to the unsolved mystery of the coke in the white house. pete: i love what they said, if

you're a regular joe in d.c. carrying coke, you're screwed. if you're someone in the white house, you're going to escape. if you walked into the capitol on january 6th, we're going to throw the book at you. if you're anthony fauci and you lied to people, we almost have this abiding sense that nothing will ever happen to you, and that unequal justice is beyond unsettling. by the way, there are unconfirmed reports, unconfirmed, that some folks inside the secret service are are saying we know who it is, but they went a different course. i don't know -- will: it's impossible to believe they don't know -- pete: there's no way they don't know who it is. to your point, whoever wrought the baggy there was very familiar -- no visitors, like, let me bring my cocaine and put it in the cubby. that's also not a regular visitor entrance. so they president it there -- put it there probably thinking they were going to retrieve it, and they weren't wearing gloves when they delivered it, so there's something on it. nicole: the fact that they brought a bag of cocaine to the

white house means they were spending an extended amount of time at the white house -- pete: felt very comfortable. nicole: they were probably planning on using it, i don't know because i don't usually have a bag of cocaine on me, but you don't just leave it somewhere unless you're planning on using it -- will: maybe it's like -- yeah, i don't know. maybe it's one of those deals where you're, like, oh, my gosh, i brought my knife to the airport, what do i do? pete: wouldn't you throw it in the garbage? will: yes, i have done that. [laughter] you know what i'm -- the point would be it's something you have on you, you know, like casually and consistently, and then you're, like, oh, my god, i'm going to the white house, what do i do with my coke? i just find it more compelling there is dna, fingerprints and video cameras. pete: we also don't know who it is, but if you have a member of the white house that has been known for doing hard drugs, wouldn't you want to get to the bottom of it to confirm it wasn't that person to take the speculation off of that person?

nicole: and a former addict you don't want around people who are doing it -- pete: this is worse than the, it's a small thing -- will: because it's so blatant. pete: it's so blatant. the investigation's over. we have no leads, we have no idea, we couldn't figure it out. cameras everywhere, fingerprints, the -- will: what i said a minute ago, they just continue to lie at us. not to us -- pete: as blatant as it gets. nicole: -- redacting that information. pete: this is as blatant as it gets. nicole: former president trump had something to say about this with maria bartiromo. maria: secret service said that they are ending the investigation of the cocaine found at the white house, and they didn't have any fingerprints, and they said that they cannot identify who, whose cocaine it was. >> you know, i've gotten to know the secret service really well. okay? and i can't speak more highly of people, these are incredible people. and i believe that they know everything. they're really smart and and really good at what they do.

and i don't think it's possible for bags of cocaine to be left in a certain area -- by the situation rule. i'm not talking about, you know, five blocks away. the situation room where you decide on war, where you decide on nuclear, where you -- maria: so are tourists allowed in that area where the cocaine was found? >> i don't think so. i don't think so. i think only people that have strong passes or family members are able to go through those doors. nicole: and you can see more of that interview tomorrow on "sunday morning futures" as 10 a.m. pete: there we go. there it is. we'll be watching. all right, turning now to an additional fox news alert, the suspects gilgo beach serial killer pleading not guilty to six counts of murder yesterday. long island -- oh, will -- will: long island authorities say they cracked the decades-old cold case thanks in part to dna from a piece of pizza crust. nicole: alexandria hoff joins us live with the latest. >> reporter: this case has haunted police since 2010 when

the search for a missing woman turned up nearly a dozen bodies including remains belonging to the so-called gilgo four. rex heuermann has now been charged in their deaths, he was arrested yesterday in manhattan where he worked, but he lived just across the bay in long island where these women were found. heuermann faces multiple life sentences for the murders of amber lynn costello, megan waterman and melissa wa -- the married father of two entered the courtroom yesterday and pleaded not guilty. >> i did hear the district attorney outline 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 press. >> reporter: investigators ultimately matched heuermann's

dna, as you mentioned, it was sound -- found on a pizza crust to a hair found on one of the bodies, also burner phones that they say heuermann was still using to take selfies and book appointments with sex workers. here's former new york state senator phil boyle. >> i think they have the person responsible certainly for the gilgo four. the other six or seven remain to be seen. i think the dna9 at the end of the day evidence is going to get him. it was from him and his wife on the burlap bag when they got it from the pizza slice. the telephone data's going to be helpful, evidently they got evidence not only from his house, but also his business right here in manhattan. >> reporter: they want a potential prosecutor to -- and a frightened local woman says she encountered heuermann earlier this month, and she toll "the new york post," quote, he had very duringty 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 like breathing behind me. in 2011 six more bodies were found in that same area, and police believe heuermann is responsible for the four on gilgo beach but have long assumed they were searching for two killers. back to you. pete: al sand di. >> -- al alexandria, thank you very much. aye governor -- iowa governor kim reynolds getting a standing ovation after signing a fetal heartbeat bill in des moines. it bans abortions after six weeks when a heartbeat can be detected. pro-abortion groups like planned parenthood predictably and the aclu filing a joint lawsuit to try to block the law. a judge is expected to issue a decision on monday. and progressive lawmakers pushing congress to adopt new rules to prevent america's nuclear arsenal from being control by artificial intelligence.

will: an appeals court is ordering new york to redraw its congressional map, and here's why it's a big deal. in the midterms four seats were flipped by we republicans helping them to secure the house. but those now in jeopardy including our next guest, you can see those districts and who won, the republicans who won,

and what seats may be in jeopardy which includes our next guest who took down one of the most powerful democrats in congress, it'sman mike lawler who joins us now to talk about this congressional redistricting. congressman, it's great to see you this morning. what does this mean for your seat in particular? >> well, look, democrats tried to gerrymander new york's maps there's year and failed miserably when the court of appeals threw them out and ruled them unconstitutional. and they had a disastrous election. we flipped four seats, bringing our total to is 1 -- to 11 and securing the house republican majority. and since is they can't beat us in a fair set of maps, they're back in court trying to gerrymander them again. the appellate division ruled that a new set of maps has to be drawn. however, it's going to go to the court of appeals once again. so this process is going to play out over the next few months. the court of appeals are hear the case automatically because it was a 3-2 decision.

and i feel confident that the court of appeals will recognize the absurdity of all of this. hakeem jeffries' entire play here is to become speaker, and he knows that this runs through new york state. so they're doing everything they can to defeat people ooh like me in a district joe biden won by 10 is points. there's 70,000 more democrats than republicans. how much harder do they think the map needs to be? here's an idea, run a better candidate. have a better message. will: so to be clear though on these maps, on these districting lines, the map that predicated you and three other republicans taking your seats that helped the republicans take over the house was one drawn just in time essentially for the midterm elections, but it was drawn by a special master that was appointed to create something essentially that wasn't gerrymandered for the purpose of politics. >> correct. this is the most competitive map in the country because it's fair. a special master appointed by

the court hooked at the map and drew -- looked at the map and i drew maps that were compact, that were not based on politics. and, again, all of these districts including mine, t not like there's some, you know, right-wing districts. these are districts that democrats lead in enrollment and joe biden won by 10 points. but we ran strong campaigns, we were on message with respect to crime, with respect to affordability, with respect to immigration. the issues the american people care about. the democrats' policies are what caused them to lose. will: i know you're not going to want to say, oh, under a newly-drawn map that they're proposing that we're going to lose. i think everybody always wants to retain hope and optimism and confidence. but that being said, you are saying the way the special master drew the more neutral map was already a democratic lean, and you guys won anyway. so with the new map if it was a lean left before in the way it's drawn, the new map would mean

what for your seat? >> well, the map the democrats drew last year that was ruled unconstitutional would have knocked republicans down to four seats. so looking at the fact that we're at 11 currently, they're doing everything they can to flip these seats not through an, but through a gerrymander. and that's what's wrong. and if people want to support me and insure that we hold the republican majority, they should go to lawler for congress.com. that's lawler for congress.com. or text lawler to 850007. -- 85007. will: congressman, thank you so much. redistricting, gerrymandering can be is so seemingly inside baseball, but it's huge on the implication of who 40 runs this government. fox weather alert, hurricane-force winds down trees and or power lines across kansas. where the powerful storm is heading next. adam klotz with a live report. but first, texas is taking the border battle underwater with barriers that deter illegal

every tool and strategy, to prevent and discourage any unlawful crossings. the river is very dangerous. we've recovered numerous bodies just during the fourth of july holiday, four bodies including an infant, from drowning. we want to discourage anyone thinking about crossing that river to go to a point of entry and seek asylum and also smugglers that are robbing people, and that they -- way they cannot bring people across the river. it's an add added layer of defense with razor wire, boots on the ground, boats in the water. it's all to discourage and deter any potential unlawful crossings at that river. nicole: when you hear politicians or other people who are criticizing this new marine border, you just mentioned there were four deaths last week one including an infant, do you think people are putting politics over human life? >> absolutely. that's one thing i was going to

mention right now. we don't see any of the pro-immigration activists or anyone criticizing the fact that we have bodies that are, you know, people that are drowning in the river that we have recovered or people that are dying because of the heat exposure and people that actually cross the river itself. that's not a legitimate way to seek asylum, by crossing the river. especially with children. but yet you don't hear any criticism from anyone on that. you don't see anyone else at the front lines jumping in the river to rescue migrants or even arresting smugglers that are taking advantage of these migrants. but the ones that are doing it is our law enforcement personnel, our dps personnel, our border patrol agents. they're on the front lines, they're out there every single day in 115-degree weather jumping in the river arresting my grant -- arresting smugglers, but that's not going to discourage us from what we're doing. we have a job to do. we have to protect our state, our country, and we're out there every single day doing the job. nicole: and we thank you so much

for that. we have a 2024 election coming up. what is your message to the new president? >> we have to apply consequences, or we've got to discourage any type of mass migration taking place. put policies in place that were working prior to 2021, start the border wall construction and now texas has set this foundation now with this first ever marine barrier. let's continue with those efforts and place this barrier along the river so we can secure our border and prevent any unlawful crossings and also too go after the criminal organizations in mexico, the drug cartels, take away their profits and prevent the flow of fentanyl across the border that's killing tens of thousands of americans every day. nicole: certainly is. lieutenant oliveras, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. nicole: it's a crowded 2024 field, and while candidates try and stick out from the pack, trump has been a master at creating these viral moments. >> everybody wants a blizzard. what the hell is a blizzard?

contrast. so if you're going to -- i think what this comes down to, guys, is -- [laughter] campaign consultants say donald trump made a mistake, he didn't know what a blizzard is. get this man inside a dairy queen so he can show the people what a blizzard is, except there's nobody there. and if you watch the video, he's asked some questions about donald trump, and he says you wait, and then he goes into a long statement the about iowa governor kim reynolds, and then he's asked about tim scott, and he sort of awkwardly -- he's rolling a and his sleeves are rolled down. it feels like an attempt to do something he's not -- nicole: well, that's the thing. so when you have trump walking into a dairy queen, he is, like, what does everyone want with, he'll buy ice cream. the fact that he said what's a blizzard, he probably didn't even know, but i think that's relatable to a lot of people, and that's why people love him, they feel like they can relate to him. when you have ron desantis going into a dairy queen, it feels like a staged political event, and probably why he's not

quite at the same place polling as donald trump. with will with will i think the word that you're dangs around maybe that i think is on -- dancing around is authenticity. donald trump doesn't know what a blizzard is and, oh, my gosh, that would be so damaging. it's not damaging because it's authentic. it's just being real. in the president you're not electing me -- pete: you're not electing me because i i know what a blizzard is. will: if it's inauthentic -- desantis probably does know what a blizzard is, that's not the point. the point is showing up at a dairy queen, doing that bit is inauthentic. barstool's dave portnoy would do a blizzard taste test because that's who he is. do who you are, and you will either one or lose based upon that. but i think this is an awesome thing. i think we're arriving at the place of post-inauthenticity, i hope, because there's so much exposure.

we can see when you're fake and when you're real. pete: it feels like, an analogy, like if you're coaching junior high basketball, you're going to teach a kid who has a weakness to lean into that weakness and get better with on a skill. if you don't have a left hand, you better learn to use your left hand. but if you're in the nba finals or the high school state tournament, you're not telling that same kid lean into your weakness. will: no, you lean into your strengths. pete: and it feels like desantis' team is saying, come on, show everybody your interpersonal skills. maybe that's not his strength. don't try to lean into that and create these viral moments that work for trump but not for you. you're good at other things, you're a very successful governor of florida, showcase that -- will we're talking about viral moments and i don't want to brush over this, it's actually joe biden. take a look at this video from joe biden. i think it doesn't -- it's accompanied by sound, but it's leaving -- nicole: oh, that is -- pete: hold on, hold on.

wait for it. will: this is the key right here. to be honest, the first part, like, okay, i kind of have seen grandpas -- nicole: but he's not that child's grandpa. that is inappropriate. will: totally recoiling. like, read the room, joe. she's horrified, the key. for me, pete, it's what it was for you, it's the sniff. once again with, what's the deal? what's with the sniff? nicole: i just don't understand i why he's touching that child. if that were my child, i wouldn't be taking a selfie and smiling, i would be appalled. pete: it's true. we're all inherently drawn to cute little kids, you know, pat them on the head -- nicole: i believe in personal space bubbles, actually, around my children and strangers don't touch my child. pete: don't nibble on my child and smell them. nicole: only i can smell their -- pete: i don't know that that was an attempt at a viral moment, but similarly gets reactions. will: yeah. well, viral moments from donald

trump to rfk jr. shirtless, working out, as pete said, it seems to be a big part of campaigns and breaking through in 2023. we have a few additional headlines. the man behind the viral blue and black dress illusion that divided the internet the, he's now charged with trying to kill his wife. yeah, the couple went on the ellen degeneres show to discuss the dress, some had seen as blue and black or white and gold. i saw white and gold,ing by the way. now the man is charged in scotland for attempting to strangle his wife. he appeared in court in glasgow earlier this week pleading not guiltiment. tv host ty pennington known for shows like extreme home makeover recovering after being in the irk cu. pennington revealed on instagram he woke up earlier this week and could barely breathe. he said the sore throat the he was stuck with for the last month was really an abscess that grew so large, it was blocking his airway.

luckily, he's on the mend. he was released from the icu yesterday. now to a fox weather alert, hurricane-force wind downing trees and power lines in parts of kansas yesterday. in the northeast, heavy rains flooding streets in alexandria, virginia. more storms are expected this weekend along the busy i-95 corridor. and over 100 million people from california and florida are set sweating it out. cities in the southwest like las vegas may shatter all-time heat records. let's check in with chief meteorologist -- not chief meteorologist, meteorologist adam klotz -- adam: hey -- will: i gave you a promotion. adam: i guess you're the one that's going to be paying me more. i appreciate that, will. you kind of summed it up, heat, heat, heat. 73 degrees here in new york, 77 in atlanta. that early in the morning these temperatures are really going to climb as you're seeing early morning 70s and 80s across a large stretch of the country. plenty of showers out there, storms currently. sweeping across the midwest, down into the mississippi tell
