>> this is a fox news alert. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been rushed to the hospital according to his office. netanyahu is in good condition and being treated at a hospital near tel aviv. welcome to fox news live. i'm aishah hasnie. hi, griff. griff: hi, aishah. i'm griff jenkins. 73-year-old netanyahu is israel's longest leader. 15 years in office. and kitty logan has the latest. >> hi, griff.

yes, mr. netanyahu is undergoing a medical assessment in hospital, but said to be well. a statement from his office says the prime minister suffered slight dizziness earlier in the day and his personal doctor advised him to get that checked out. the initial assessment was that he was dehydrated. according to some earlier local media reports, mr. netanyahu was fully conscious as he entered the hospital and he walked into the emergency room and he has not been incapacitated in any way as prime minister. now, israel is currently in the midst of a heatwave and from the prime minister's office that he spent the day exposed to some of the hot conditions at the sea of galilee. he's 73, israel's longest serving leader and served multiple times stretching over 15 years. his current government took office last december. now, he had some suffered some political troubles on tuesday, yet, more protests about the

divisive justice bill. tens of thousands of israelis taking to the streets there in tel aviv, and more of those protests are expected today despite those political woes, mr. netanyahu is generally thought to be in good health and the latest we're hearing from the hospital is that his doctors are recommending he undergoes more routine tests just to be sure, griff. griff: kitty logan following the latest for us. aishah: new details are emerging about suspected killer rex heuermann. the architect is facing a string of charges for deaths that haunted long island more than 10 years now. cb cotton is live from new york with the latest on this very shocking case. cb. >> hi, aishah. officers say that rex heuermann was confident he would never get caught and made taunting phone calls to the victim.

the officers had to keep their investigation top secret to avoid tipping heuermann off. now that he's officially charged in the case his attorney is maintaining heuermann's innocence and calling the case very circumstantial, but prosecutors told fox and friends this morning, their case is buttoned up and solid. >> i think if you look at all the evidence and how it comes together, i think it's very solid and you know, it starts with the defendant's activities, but underpinned by that dna that's attached to the victims. >> heuermann was arrested thursday night not far from his manhattan office. he's now charged in the killings of three women and the prime suspect in a fourth murder according to prosecutors. and police say they're looking for more evidence that could link heuermann to more killings. the gilgo beach murders have been an unsolved mystery for years and there's never been a person of interest or suspect publicly named until now. back in 2010 when police

searched for missing 23-year-old shannon gilbert officers discovered the bodies of four other women. 24-year-old melissa. 22-year-old megan waterman, and 27-year-old amber lynn costello. the women were identified as sex workers and known as the go-go four. their remains were found within a quarter mile of gilgo beach in 2010 and heuermann was linked to the killings by burner phones allegedly use today arrange meetings for the victims. and the d.a. telling fox and friends, the suspect eventually messed up. >> as disciplined as you are with regard to burner phones, you will slip up and once law enforcement could focus on you, they'll find associations. >> heuermann is held without bail. his next court date is august 1st. aishah, i want to mention,

prosecutors say they linked him to the crimes by his car, a chevrolet avalanche which since haus been towed from the scene. aishah: thank you, cb. griff: for more insight on this shocking case, joining me is retired special agent, john, thank you, this is quite a story and i want your insight. you just heard cb's reporting there, the burner phones, a lot of pieces to the puzzle to take heuermann into custody. what do you make of how they got him? >> well, griff, this has been a long process and it's a compliment to law enforcement that they never gave up. the locals also got the fbi involved. a lot of technology involved here with the burner phones, going off cell towers, hitting up the family and yet, where were the signals of the phones coming from? law enforcement was able to track that down and brought it to the subject. griff: john, there was a sound

bite from that suffolk d.a., you heard him on fox and friends this morning, but in the press conference he talked a little bit about rex trying to watch the cops. listen here. >> in a 14-month period he had over 200 searches pertaining to the gilgo investigation. not only was he looking at investigative insight, he was looking, trying to figure out how is the task force using cell phones to try to figure out what's happening? >> so, did he have an advantage or did he ultimately put himself in jeopardy of being caught by doing that? >> the advantages to law enforcement. many subjects will do internet searches or other inquiries to find out what law enforcement is looking at and all of that is evidence for the prosecution. his computer history since seized by the fbi and locals is

all on record. we're going to see everything he did. i guarantee you, there's going to be a lot of research on the various families of the victims of these murders. griff: and i want to get to possible links to other individuals. we can show you on the map, there were 11 sets of remains found. he, of course, only charged in three, but you can see all of those there. talk to me a little about, you're retired fbi, what changed the investigation once the fbi got involved and will they play a role in possibly linking him to additional individuals? >> so there's dna evidence and my understanding is that they were able to develop comparison evidence by picking up the trash from the subject's house. it's known as a trash cover, where they'll literally take the garbage off the street that the subject puts out. with that dna they can go back and there's been a lot of advances in dna technology.

we may be able to have other dna and other subjects and victims that we can bring into that case, but nearly, they've tied him to three, possibly four right now, hopefully there'll be closure for other families as well. griff: was bringing the fbi in a game-changer, john? >> the resources of the fbi no matter how good local law enforcement is, they're international. they have agents and technology that most others do not have. it's something that probably played a very pivotal role in this case, but that's not to undermine at all the great work that the cops did and they kept this case up for over 10 years. now finally helping the families of the victims. griff: and they seem to have a fresh set of eyes looking at it, which seemed to have helped as well. i guess in the last 20, 30 seconds we've got left, where do you see this going? >> we have eight other up solved murders out there from

this case alone. clearly this subject, if it's him, in fact, has been at work for some time. they're going to look and see are there any other similar cases that need to be looked at, possible dna evidence that will tie the subject to those murders and hopefully close those cases as well. griff: john iannarelli. great work as always. thank you, sir. have a great weekend. >> you, too, griff. griff:. aishah: the authorization bill heads to the u.s. senate after the house republicans narrowly pushed it through with controversial adjustments. >> there wasn't much debate about missiles and troops, but an earful about abortion and so-called woke policies. >> it was a massive rebuke of that far left ideology in the push that we've seen under the biden administration. >> the house narrowly approved the annual defense policy bill 219-210, only four republicans voted nay and only four

democrats voted yes. more democrats would have been yea's had it not veered from the center. >> it hijacked it. >> and allowing service members to travel across state lines for abortions and block transgender surgeries. >> it's a culture war document, it's more focused on attacking trans people and black people and women and dei and so-called wokism. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy embraced the bill for gutting the policies. >> we don't want disney training. >> and greene voted yes because mccarthy tapped her to negotiate the bill with the senate. >> that allows me to go and be a voice in the room, to talk about removing the money going to ukraine. >> democrats note that the house bill isn't the final say. >> we are going to cut out the cancer that the extreme maga

republicans have put in the national defense authorization act. >> democrats will target the abortion language. >> if the republicans insist that it has to be in it then we will not have an ndaa this year. >> house conservatives warn the bill better not change too much. >> striking that balance ought to be a lot closer to our position than defaulting what the senate says. >> conservatives are watching mccarthy closely after he cut a deal with the democrats on the debt ceiling. chad pergram, fox news. griff: well, many 2024 candidates are out on the campaign trail this weekend in iowa and beyond, as the first g.o.p. debate here on fox news is coming up in just a little over a month. alexandria hoff is live with the latest on campaign 2024. hey, alex. >> hi, griff. we're exactly six months out from the iowa caucuses. last night g.o.p. candidates spoke at a forum in the state. notably absent was former

president donald trump. today was across the board for all candidates, and today is the filing deadline for them to turn over the reports. strong donor interest and money spent will show which candidates held their footing. former ambassador nikki haley, she said that earlier. >> i know other candidates have spent millions of dollars. and we have not spent because it's foolish, it's not time. >> and the most digital ad buys and his team sent out a letter to donors reassuring them that the campaign is not short of momentum and also campaigning in iowa today. this week, former governor chris christie and senator tim scott were added to the candidates who have met the rnc donor requirements to take the debate stage next month. former president trump has yet to commit. he sat down for an interview that will air tomorrow morning

on sunday morning, here is a preview. >> if people think that trump is going to be elected you'll not have a recession. if people think they're not going to have a recession, you'll have a depression. >> and raising over 72 million in the second quarter, that comes to a relief from democrats who thought the campaign was off to a slow start. griff: six months to the iowa caucuses, it will be here before you know. alexandria hoff following all of the campaign trail latest. thank you. aishah: we're excited about it here at fox. for more on campaign 2024, we're joined from south carolina by nikki haley's surrogate. and asa's hutchinson is your gait. thank you, ralph and al for being with us. it's a busy weekend for all of the candidates. they're hitting the ground running. hitting the ground running and you know, i want to pull this up. alex had it in her report, but shows the candidates that say that they're qualifying for the

first debate, which of course, fox is hosting august 23rd. there they are in milwaukee. al, i've got to ask you, governor hutchinson is not on this list yet. is he going to make it? >> he will. i've talked about it with his campaign manager and others and they have a-- they have a very accurate track moving forward and he'll be at the debate and i think that's his greatest asset. he'll do well at the debates. he's the perfect candidates for 2024 in terms of law and order, in terms of real justice and in terms of being a frugal governor for two terms in the state of arkansas. >> okay, so, let's put up the latest fox news polls here and you can see that donald trump is still way ahead of the rest of the pack. nikki haley, i believe, is down at about 3% hanging there for a while here. ralph, what does ambassador haley have to do on that debate stage to shake this up?

>> well, first of all, aishah, nikki haley, you'll see the true nikki haley, but she's on the debate stage. she's somebody who is warm, she's somebody who attracts young people, independents, older people, blacks, whites. she is a rock star when it comes to debates and what you'll see is a clear path to get this country back on track and i will tell you from being in congress, we're off the track right now. nikki haley is just what we need. we need eight years to do it. we need youth, we need vigor and she brings all of that to the table. aishah: the only one we're not xeking to be on that debate stage that's qualified is donald trump. al, do you want me to him on that stage? >>-- do you want to see him on that stage? >> sure, if you want to look at who you want to vote for, he owes it to the american people to be on the stage and compared

to the other candidates. my sense is he doesn't want to be on the stage because he stands to lose ground. you know, governor asa hutchinson has been a member of congress, he's been in charge of homeland security, border security. 's been a governor. he's got a great plan and as a former prosecutor, he's going to take on donald trump. others will as well and he stands to lose, but the american people stand to gain if he's on that stage and they can make a sound comparison judgment. aishah: maybe it will be a game time decision on that day. the top issue for voters, both of you know, is the economy. this is something that's been president biden's achilles heel. he can't seem to convince americans that biden nommics that it's working. and you heard donald trump tell

t that there would not be a recession. >> that's wrong on all counts. the economy is not headed into recession, however, we're headed into long-term problems with this crushing national debt of $30 trillion. one of the first things that governor hutchinson has said is that he would cut the federal payroll by 10%. that will go a huge way towards cutting our budget. and he was in congress the last time congress approved a balanced budget. he understands how that works and last week, we're not headed to recession, but governor -- president trump was as responsible as anyone for putting us into the debt hole we're in. for him to talk about going into a recession when he was one of the biggest culprits in putting too much money out there is really not something that we can look at credibly. aishah: ralph, i'll have you quickly respond to that and move on to ukraine. >> what nikki haley would do

for the country is the exactly the same thing in south carolina. she's a pro business candidate. specifically she will shut the border. she will make us energy independent. she will be for law enforcement instead of putting handcuffs on law enforcement. and nikki haley is a common sense candidate that will do-- will bring this country together and the executive order she issues will be directly opposite what president biden has done. biden does not understand it and we are headed toward recession. it's because of his spending and his views on the world and it's the wrong way to go about it. she will bring us back. aishah: i want to get to one last topic, about a minute left. ukraine continues to be a big divisive issue in this party and it's been a big issue on the campaign trail this weekend. i know that the president just came back from the n.a.t.o. meeting, basically doubling down on our support for ukraine, but there is this argument that some are making that we can't seem to walk and

chew gum at the same time and deal with ukraine and then still deal with the many, many domestic issues here at home, inflation, crime being among those issues. so, ralph, i want to ask you, you know, i know ambassador haley is a staunch supporter of ukraine. how is she going to convince americans that she can do both things? >> well, look at what she did as ambassador. she takes a hard line approach. she knows the dangers and the evil that's out there with other countries that want to take america down. she will demand accountability. she's for bringing-- going into n.a.t.o. for ukraine and 31 countries that have not put up their fair share of the 2% of the gdp. she will take a tough approach and she is a margaret thatcher with an iron hand in a velvet glove and she will take that approach and she will sell the american people, more importantly she'll sell the ukrainians how they're going to have to demand accountability before we give them a thing.

aishah: al, quickly, the last word here. >> yeah, well, asa hutchinson is a ronald reagan devotee, worked for him and agreed with him on foreign policy. if we don't take a strong hand and support ukraine, eastern europe will blow up under putin, and let me remind americans, that the money that is being appropriated for ukraine is all being-- also it's spent here on military assets, on military munitions and so that money is staying home, but the most important thing is for us to continue to be a beacon of hope to the rest of the world. aishah: okay. >> that's governor hutchinson's message. aishah: got to go. thank you both for being with us, we appreciate it. we'll be watching it. griff: meanwhile, president biden making headlines from the n.a.t.o. summit this week vowing long-term support for ukraine. we'll have more from the critical meeting of world leaders next. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune,

>> president biden reporting very strong fund raising numbers for his 2024 reelection campaign, despite his low approval ratings and concerns over his electability. biden's campaign says it's brought in a blockbuster $72 million since its launch earlier this year. lucas tomlinson is at the white

house with the very latest, hi. >> that's right, democratic donors have not been slow to the hip, forking over, as you mentioned, $72 million buckaroos, and now the biden campaign says they have over $77 million cash on hand. that's a very nice haul for the biden team. if president biden was not overseas this week he would likely have held an event at the white house perhaps touting that number and also new inflation numbers. one of his economic advisors spoke earlier. >> people are back in jobs and it's going to take a while for people to feel really confident, but if you look at how people feel about their own personal finances, you know, they've got better balance sheets, better earnings, and their own view of their own situation is pretty positive and it might take a little while for them to see that in the economy. >> well, inflation year over year has lowered to 3%, as you can see here. aishah, let's remember what it was last year, 9%. so that means inflation still

continues to rise, but at a decreasing rate. the prices are still high, don't have to remind our viewers to go to the grocery store and put gas in their car. now, let's go back to the cocaine caper at the white house. despite of having a list of about 500 suspects the secret service says it declined to interview any of them drawing outrage from some republicans. >> it is deeply frustrating. this is one of the most secure locations in the world with some of the best law enforcement officers in the world and they don't have any answers. >> now, president biden is at camp david this weekend and following his return from the n.a.t.o. summit where he says he wants to see ukraine join n.a.t.o., but not until the war is over. of course, putin hears this and he knows as long as russian soldiers remain in ukraine, ukraine will not be able to join the alliance, aishah. aishah: lucas tomlinson at the white house. thank you. griff: aishah and lucas, thank you. and the world leaders joined for the n.a.t.o. summit and

joined for ukraine although the war-ridden country was not admitted to n.a.t.o. and they reinforced their support. and here to break down the n.a.t.o. summit, a former obama state department official. kind of pick up where lucas left off, which in were certainly given a show of support, ukraine was, but not that formal invitation. i want to show you president zelenskyy's tweet that i think was so significant. he says this, during these two days of the summit, we have put to rest any doubts and ambiguities whether ukraine will be in n.a.t.o. it will. for the first time not only to do all allies agree on this, but sigma jort-- significant majority have been pushing, never before the words you are equal from all equals,

sound meaningful and with our victory and to n.a.t.o. >> is president zelenskyy being too optimistic for this or do you think the path is clear now? >> it's interesting, president zelenskyy went into the meetings quite upset that he didn't get more solid terms when n.a.t.o. -- ukraine would be part of n.a.t.o. he went out of the meeting thanking n.a.t.o. and thanking the countries. he has to put a positive spin on what he heard about ukraine joining n.a.t.o. you can imagine, he's a leader of a country that's losing hundreds of soldiers every day from russia. and he's trying to get the security guarantees that come with being a member of nate orr. . u.s. and others are a bit reluctant to have him join now, but they left with a closer

alliance and president zelenskyy left with more commitments on weapons, more sophisticated weapons and long range missiles and things he needs to succeed on the battlefield. griff: david, only a minute left here. quickly, did you see any other fissures in the alliance? >> yes, and there's a fissure over sweden. most want it, but turkey and hungary said they were going to veto sweden joining. >> and turkey got something in not using its veto. and turkey is approaching this under erdogan transactionally, what is it i'm going to get for turkey for not using my veto. and recently now, he says he has to submit this to parliament in turkey and still going to use this to make sure whatever commitment he got he's actually going to get for turkey that may include getting

f-16's from the united states. griff: we shall see. david tafuri breaking it down for us as always. thank you. >> thank you. aishah: griff, still to come the oversight committee is set to hear from two whistleblowers into the investigation into huntser biden. more on that after the break.

biden investigation. what might be-- what might we learn from these whistleblowers that we don't already know? >> i think the biggest thing is the behind the scenes ongoings there at the department of justice. remember, when you're dealing with a justice system and a legal system, aishah. two things, you want to make sure you're doing justice and getting the cases right and the other hand, equally important thing, make sure that the justice system appears fair and impartial and i think these whistleblowers coming forward have the potential to really illustrate that the perception that the public has, at least half of america has, that the department of justice does not appear to be acting impartially with political related cases, that the whistleblower has the ability to look at that system. you want to to appear fair and impartial. and that's what the department of justice has to appear to be fair brokers when applying the

law. aishah: that's an important point. fbi director christopher wray was on capitol hill, a fiery hearing he was trying to explain to republicans why the fbi is not weaponized or politicized. listen to what he says when he finally, i think, feels the frustration here of the line of questioning he was getting. take a listen to what director wray said about the bias that he says he doesn't have. >> i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly, your description of my own approach. the idea that i'm biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me, given my own personal background. aishah: so here is the thing. i mean, if we pull up this recent fox news poll, americans would feel otherwise. they don't trust the fbi as much as they used to. that confidence level has dropped now to 59%, so did this hearing and what he says, did it make a difference?

>> no, i don't think it did, aishah. you were there on capitol hill doing a great job covering this, you probably got a sense of it yourself, that the reality is the fbi and the department of justice have a major perception problem and the perception, at least with half of americans that are republican oriented or voted for donald trump, they are concerned that the department of justice is not, you know, meting out justice on an even, balanced way when it comes to political-related cases. there seems to be one standard for president trump where they raid mar-a-lago, for example, and a different standard for joe biden when it comes to let's say the document case they don't raid vice-president biden's home when he got the documents as the vice-president. when you go down the list of cocaine allegedly in the white house, the hunter biden laptop issues, alleged foreign dealings, these classified document issues when you go down the list, the appearance at least, for a lot of people, is that it's a two-system of justice. one system for republicans, one system for democrats. now, whether or not that's true

or not is a separate question, but right now, the appearance is not good and that's something i think if i were with the fbi or the department of justice i'd be working hard to bend over backwards to be as transparent as possible to try to disspell any concerns among any aspects of the american public. aishah: it's going to be an uphill battle for the fbi and doj in broad terms. another question about appearances, the man, key informant to republicans, has been indicted by the doj and cases, including making false statements to authorities. democrats want to investigate him. they feel like the committee has been manipulated by him. do you think he hurts the republicans on this committee and their case? >> not necessarily. again, i think you've got to keep in mind that we have three branches of government, aishah, right? you have the congress, you have the presidency and you have the justice system, the judiciary, and i think the branches can

have different perceptions and disagreements and i think as to how he's perceived as a witness or as a relevant -- whatever you want to call him with the legislative branch versus the judiciary, i think that's a separate question. i think that all of this stuff is being used to paint a picture and right now that picture is painted and again, if i were the fbi and doj, i would work really hard to be open and transparent as much as possible. i think that's their best bet to win back the confidence of half of america. aishah: okay, we'll be watching it together. wednesday, that's when the whistleblowers testify. mark smith, thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. aishah: and tomorrow on sunday morning futures, maria bartiromo talks exclusively with former president trump about the economy, china and weaponization. and tune in 10 a.m. eastern. and howie kurtz has an interview with ron desantis and talk about the governor's hostile relationship with the

shaking off their economic woes. the federal reserve is crediting taylor swift with revitalizing the economies in cities where she's performing her eras tour. cincinnati reported more than $2.6 million worth of business at hotels in the city and over $5 million spent at hotels in the surrounding area. now, aishah, this is being called the t-swift lift. it's an economic boost. [laughter]. griff: the economy-- >> an official name. griff: the economy experts say by the end of her tour, by the way, is her first global tour in five years, it may bring some $4.6 billion with a "b" in consumer spending to the cities and surrounding areas. so who knew that the fix for the economic woes, inflation, downturn, maybe even depression, is taylor swift.

the next time people start, you know, making fun of the swifties, just remember, they're good for the economy. aishah: they are bringing back those towns and cities. look, this is how america works. you've got a good product out there and this is what reinvigorates the economy and everyone's looking at beyonce now and all the other big singers out there, like what are you going to do next? she's a huge star and i love this story. i love the fact-- i'm not a huge taylor swift fan. don't hate me swifties out there, but she's incredible and a phenomena in her own right and this is really good for the country. griff: i became a fan because in full disclosure my two daughters love taylor swift and taylor swift is in pretty much every soul cycle class and i started to listen and i understand the connection. although i have not gotten to go to a concert and i know neither have you, but our producer mallory drummond who i'm terribly jealous of, has

gone not once, but twice and humorous to think that when we were doing the stories of the $1,000 tickets, we were making fun of the fact that who is going to pay to go to these concerts? well, it turns out these concerts are selling out at whatever price it is, it's good to know though, as outrageous as the tickets were, which is why i couldn't go to -- afford to go to one, it's certainly lifting these economies of these cities, particularly at a time when we needed it just as covid is kind of ending and tourism is picking back up and taylor swift gave the t-swift lift. aishah: the only concert i'm willing to pay thousands for is if spice girls get back together and that's it. griff: i would go with you to that as well. aishah: got to get posh spice back into the group. griff: it would be fascinating. maybe by the end of her tour, whenever it actually is, we'll get an actual economic number and it's going to be larger, i think, than some country's overall gdp. aishah: wow.
