"america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. that news broke overnight. >> bill: remember what nancy grace said last week. need to take the house down to its studs. bill hemmer, good morning. police bringing heavy construction over the weekend digging up the suspect's backyard in a methodical search for more evidence. heuermann has pleaded not guilty. homicide detective ted williams says this could be a classic case of a serial killer hiding in plain sight. >> this was a dr. jekyll and mr. hyde. rex heuermann who lived in new york was an architect, a pillar of the community. in the daytime, but at night and when his family was away, he was a sex -- chasing sex workers. >> dana: nate foye is live

outside the suspect's home in massapequa park in new york. what do you have this morning snow >> this is the 11th straight day investigators have been at rex heuermann's home looking for evidence. you mentioned the "new york post" reports over the weekend they found a soundproof room in the home's basement. take a look at this video also from this weekend where crews also used an excavator and cadaver dogs and radar. they will finish at the home this week. the main detective said it could be tomorrow or the end of the week. investigation continues right now. take a live look from our drone. a source familiar with the investigation tells fox news investigators believe that heuermann murdered at least one of the victims here at his family's home. the suffolk county sheriff said investigators haven't found so-called trophies. it could change with testing of evidence. >> there are things still have to be forensicly tested to

insure or even see if those things are any types of trophies. whether it's a piece of jewelry, a piece of clothing, whether it's a picture. all those things will have to be looked at by the investigators. >> dana and bill the infamous bt case killer dennis rader called himself the clone. he bound, tortured and killed ten people. in a letter from prison he explained the similarities he sees between himself and heuermann saying i was arrested age 59. married, two kids, husband, dad, long time serial killer, stalker, used electronic devices, lives in a neighborhood undetected. dna and electronics his downfall much like me. another similarity between the two. both men's wives filed for divorce almost immediately after their arrest. as for heuermann, he remains on

suicide watch in an isolated jail cell in suffolk county. >> dana: thank you for the update. i.r.s. whistleblowers have revealed mountains of evidence showing president biden's son hunter evaded millions in dollars of taxes on foreign income but blocked from exploring key evidence involving payments from ukraine energy company burisma that might have uncovered corruption involving joe biden. national review writes this. the biden justice department's infighting and foot dragging caused the statute of limitations for the 2014 and 2015 tax years to lapse. utah senator mike lee is a republican on the judiciary committee. i just want to put up on the screen here, senator. ian sams is the white house spokesperson on all things legal matters. he said it is remarkable that congressional republicans in their eagerness to go after president biden regardless of the truth, continue to push claims that have been debunked

for years. he said that last thursday. i think they would hold to that. but we continue to get new evidence. >> we continue to get new evidence including things -- evidence released just the other day by my friend and colleague senator grassley from iowa who released the 1023 form outlining in great detail suggestions that that the ukrainian >> dana: listen to jim jordan the chairman of the judiciary committee on sunday morning futures on the hunter biden investigation. watch here. >> was he really involved? was it just hunter biden's opation or was joe biden involved? it looks now like he was based on this confidential human source and the information we got in the 1023 form. i think we're at the important final stage of this whole thing which is who are you going to

believe? the two whistleblowers whose testimony has been consistent, or the garland/biden justice department which can't get their stories straight? >> dana: that was jim jordan on sunday and consistent for him that message since especially from last week's hearing. let's try your audio one more time and get your thoughts on where he thinks this is going. >> this is very serious. the fact that the the white house continues to use words like debunked in reference to it. nothing full well the documents they were hired to protect those who worked with him from all kinds of problems. problems that manifested themselves in the form of criminal prosecution based -- >> dana: i hate to stop you there. we cannot -- the audio is doubling back and hard for everybody to understand. we want to have you back to talk about it. we apologize for technical difficulties.

>> bill: we'll get you back, senator, if we can't hear we can't here. devon archer is the father of three from long island, new york. he was with hunter biden traveling the world. and in some cases he makes the claim that joe biden as former vice president was on the phone or on speakerphone for some of these conversations talking with members of burisma, the energy company out of ukraine. the other side of this, dana, is that we have confirmed that devon archer has asked to reschedule his deposition three times. and the oversight committee is hoping he shows this coming thursday. if he does maybe they get something out at that point. we'll see how it goes throughout the week. >> dana: we read the white house statement. they will stick to their guns on that. this guarantees as long as that testimony, as they push it, it

continues, the story continues. you will go into another weekend where this is the story and then they'll have more to deal with next week. the election year is well underway. sorry about the technical difficulty. we'll try to get the senator black. >> bill: blue is gone at twitter. musk replaced it with a new x logo saying goodbye to the iconic bluebird. kelly o'grady is live in l.a. with more on this. nice to see you. >> i wore blue as well in homage to the dead bird. twitter is now called x. if you go to x.com now on your phone it redirects to the twitter site. this is the clearest declaration yet this is no longer the same social network that musk purchased. yesterday he shared this on the platform. i don't think we can call it tweeting anymore. soon we shall bid adieu to the twitter brand and gradually all

to be at war with the supreme court. two professors wrote to the president. they want the president to defy the court on opinions he does not like. the president criticized the court for its rulings on gay rights and affirmative action. >> president biden: today the court once again walked away from decades of precedent and as the dissent has made clear. the dissent states in today's decision, quote, roll back decades of precedent and momentous progress. >> jonathan turley of george washington university says the professor are out of line and believe they only want mr. biden to ignore the court when there are opinions they oppose. >> they are arguing president biden should become a government unto himself. he should decide what the constitution means and he should implement changes without the approval of congress in some

circumstances. that's the definition of authoritarianism. >> senate minority leader mitch mcconnell says the court is doing what it is supposed to be doing. >> but for all the democrats breathless fear mongering, the record of the supreme court's latest tells a very different story. by the numbers the court remains as ideological diverse and unpredictable. >> supreme court opinions are not self-enforcing. president andrew jackson wondered where the supreme court's army was. democrats hope to make the court an election issue next year. dana. >> dana: we'll see how that goes. chad pergram, thank you. >> oh my god. every single person, all of my -- is this going to work? i hope it works. >> no one ever expects to see me

and glitter in minneapolis at a donut shop, 463 you could buy -- 63 you could buy a dozen taylor swift donuts with her face, signature and album titles. >> dana: the cities need this money. >> one thing i love about this story i get to talk about the federal reserve as well. who knew that the federal reserve would give a shout-out to taylor swift for boosting local economies. the cities need it. to kennedy's point a combination of two things. one, during covid we shifted our money to the good sector away from services. this is the big reopening in the post covid world of shifting back to services away from goods. when they took away our ability to travel to see concerts you come out in full force. the second point in this, a unique story to taylor swift. i don't think anyone else has the power to do this but her.

this speaks to her and her ability to get people excited and come out and to have people pay $63 for a dozen donuts or whatever it is. economists have said both of those factors. it is more of a swift effect. >> bill: good stuff. at the movies they talked about this past weekend making a big deal. barbie, oppenheimer. michael o'leary the president of the theater owners of america says a truly historic weekend continues the box office momentum. it proves ones again america loves going to the movies to see great films. if you have a great film america will see it in the theater. is this the resurrection of the cinema or is the jury still out? >> this will be the top gun maverick. for the season. they are completely authentic. know their audience and giving them a multi-dimensional experience they can be attached to and invested in. i had a friend who didn't want

california, even florida, georgia, maryland. people working outside or even inside without air conditioning. sadly several children left in hot cars have lost their lives. more than 14 nationwide. it's such a tragedy. to parent wants to go through it. you talked about what's going on in texas. it gets your heart rate up. that father in southern texas broke a window to save that child's life. we aren't sure how long the child was in the car for when he finally was able to make that rescue. it was in a grocery store parking lot just last week. officials tell us even just a few minutes in a car that is shut off with a heat index outside of over 100 degrees, the temperature inside your car can soar by 20 degrees in ten minutes. a short time for things to turn deadly quickly. one of the many reasons why

officials here in tennessee are launching an initiative to keep parents from making that tragic mistake. baby in the back hang tags. having -- giving out those hang tags you can hang on your rearview mirror to remind you, the digital reminder to check for that precious cargo in the back seat. we know people have a lot on their minds driving to and from work, dana. the hope is this will prevent another death of a child. >> bill: wow. >> dana: interesting innovative way to try to help prevent that. thank goodness the baby was all right. thank you, nicole. >> amazing video. 10:32 now. former lawmakers pushing back against a potential third-party run by the group called no labels calling it nothing but a spoiler. well, richard gephart is leading that effort. former democratic congressman out of missouri, ran for president himself and house majority leader from his home in florida. nice to see you.

it has been a minute. welcome back. joe lieberman is helping the no labels operation. here is one of his quotes. he says they are working overtime to prevent the voters from a choice. the voters in the country deserve a third choice. bipartisan choice. i will repeat we will not be spoilers in this. quinnipiac asked voters if they would consider a third party candidate. 47% said they would. 47% said they would not. i guess the question to you, sir, what are you afraid of? >> we're not afraid of anything. i like joe lieberman a lot. i served with him and he is my friend. we just think this is too risky of an effort and we hope that we can help convince no labels to back this down and not do it. if these were normal times, we would have no problem with this. these are not normal times. we just went through an election

that was valid by a whisker only because mike pence and 6 or 7 state republican election officials stood up against tremendous pressure and did the right thing and saved the election from being seen as stolen and rigged by millions of americans. the person who really tried to overthrow the government and that election is running for president. and as liz cheney said, we can't have him back in the white house again. so the no labels effort you just know from looking at all the polling information, including no labels polling, would siphon so many votes away from joe biden and take them to trump if those are the two candidates. that's what it looks like. so this is not a good effort. this is a risky effort that we

hope to convince no labels to not go forward. >> dana: there is also polling that shows most americans are not that excited about a rematch of biden and trump. and when you look at the white house's situation and how low the numbers are, despite how they think the economy is doing and frustrated they don't get a credit for it and polling isn't reflected in what they think the american people should be feeling in the economy. so if this effort of a possible no labels bid would take that many votes away from president biden, what do you think president biden needs to change in order to turn things around? because if it's this dire, then should they change something and could that even be perhaps president biden stepping away and not running again? >> look, all of that is in play and we don't know what's going to happen. one thing we do know is that the american people decide on who

the candidate in the republican party will be and who the candidate in the democratic party will be. i don't know who is going to pick the no labels candidate. they are talking about giving people a choice. i don't know how that is a choice. they have a choice. anybody can run for president. anybody is qualified to be a candidate for president. so let's let the process play out. but all we're saying is, if donald trump is the choice of republican primary voters and he is the candidate that they want, we feel that having him back in the white house is more of a risk than our democracy can face. this is a troubled time and we have never had an election like the one we had in 2020, as i'll say again. we missed having a broken

election by an inch. we cannot go through that again. >> bill: i know you don't like donald trump and the conventional wisdom says it goes against the party in power. we only have one example of that, that was 1992 with ross perot and it hurt george bush, the republican trying to win re-election. we'll see how it goes for you. thank you for coming on today. dick gephart making his case against a third party. the actor jamie foxx breaking his silence on his recent health scare. the actor was hospitalized back in april. he kept the specifics under wraps and prompted a flood of speculation. he said this over instagram. >> i didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me. if you see me out from now on and every once in a while i burst into tears, it's because

it came from straight beneath me and got the bottom of my board. i was in the water with it the next thing i knew. ♪ long island had six shark attacks in 2022 and already had five this year. with none of the victims seeing the apex predator approaching. long island lifeguard carey epstein is trying to change that. using drones with skycam ras. he says it can pot sharks before they get close to surfers and swimmers. >> less than two minutes we'll be able to take off. the sharks are feeding off the large pools of bait fish and bunker fish. >> this is a perspective until now lifeguards did not have. >> having this technology at this moment is real a game changer for surf lifesaving. >> currently epstein has six drone operators on jones beach.

beach as of now. >> dana: schools across the country are dealing with a critical shortage of teachers. part of the problem is fewer college students getting the needed credentials to teach. the number of students getting education degrees, once the number one major in america, has dropped nearly 50% since 1970. it has dramatic effects. kathleen is a high school teacher and president of the berkeley county education association in south carolina. kathleen, this is a major problem. you are trying to deal with it from your perspective, how bad is this situation? >> well, it is a real problem. if you think about how your bathtub works. having enough teachers means you have the bathtub filled up to the right waterline. right now we have a drain that is much bigger than the water that's coming in. that water coming in would be like the college certified teachers ready to teach and the drain is just all the teachers leaving. in south carolina, teachers that

have 1 to 5 years experience coming right out with their certification, 40% of those teachers leave by that five year. we're watching high turnover rates and also seeing if we think about that waterline, that waterline is going down and it is actually speeding up as it is going down. we're not filling the need that we have with how many teachers we are losing year-over-year. >> dana: why do you think there are fewer young americans deciding to sign up for teaching as a major, or wanting to go into education? and why especially then if they do get the major why are they leaving within five years? >> a couple of things. first of all, the pay is an issue. teachers are also given kind of an ambiguous set of things they need to get done for the day. just too many responsibilities and because we're already in a shortage, we simply don't have enough people right now so those

teachers that are there, those staff members that are there, at the schools are already stretched very thin. those new certified teachers, new people coming in are already coming into stress situations. and, you know, if you want to attract people to a job or career, it has to be a job or career that you want to keep. so that's what we really need to focus on is retaining the teachers that we have and creating a situation where it becomes attractive because staff members want to stay. >> dana: 45% of public schools began the 2022-2023 school year with one or more unfilled teaching positions. that's only going to get worse. what is also getting worse is something we're very concerned about here at this show and at this channel. the nation's report card showing this decline, the score change between 2020 and 2023 reading down four points, math down nine

points and these scores keep coming in like this. i think this is a national emergency and without teachers, what are we going to do? >> that's right. i think what you need to recognize just like the statistics are showing. these are ongoing trends that have been going on for decades. not just over a number of years. we're just starting to feel those effects now. we're in a critical crisis. we need to make sure that we get those teachers in play, you know. the way i like to think about it is the teachers we have right now are our first string football team and we just don't have enough players so we're playing the iron man football where they're playing offense, they're playing defense. >> dana: you are getting dangerously close to talking about sports. i have think i followed you there. >> good. it's south carolina. i can't help it. >> dana: do you think that school choice, that is increasing in many states, would help young people maybe want to choose to go into education or at least stay?

>> so i think that's kind of putting the cart before the horse in that that type of structure and system is going to be in play for states like mine in years from now and our situation is a crisis right now. we need to do the things that we need to do to retain the teachers that we have now in the system that we have now to engage this problem. even though we definitely want to bring in new students from college, we also have to keep in mind that three weeks from now we have kids coming into the classroom and we have to be ready to go. >> dana: i know you will be and glad you are here to talk about this issue. it's a critical one. we appreciate it. kathleen lowe, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> bill: she cares. >> dana: i bet her students love her. >> bill: well done. in a moment here concerns about wind turbines affecting u.s. military operations. how does that happen? and what are we doing to address it?

this fall we will have our first -- third development of off shore wind in new jersey. but at the same time, what we're hearing from experts is that there is real concern with national security. this morning we met with representative chris smith here in new jersey just outside of one of the major naval ammunition bases to discuss his bill that passed the house of representatives on thursday. that bill requires the president to sign off and give official approval of any off shore wind development assuring that the project would not interfere with military operations. >> there has been a total lack of transparency on the part of the biden administration. it's all out there hiding in plain sight. yet the military has clamped up and won't say a word. that goes right to the top of the pentagon. >> so the big concern here is the weakening and interference of military sonar and radar and the blind spots with off shore wind creates calling shadowing.

our adversaries could take advantage and sneak past on our military. this is a concern that we see echoed by retired navy brass. take a listen. >> what you have to worry about is that is the military leadership, in fact, getting the point across that here will be the impacts on those classified systems and that they are having a voice at the table and not being run over roughshod by political appointees in pursuit of a green energy agenda at the expense of our national security. >> when it comes to the department of defense, they are in line with the biden administration's move and seeming to fox business saying the department of defense supports the administration's off shore wind efforts and committed to protecting american national security interests. it continues on we'll have a lease sale in the gulf of mexico for off shore wind in august. >> dana: we'll pay attention. great to see you. >> bill: before we go now, you
