>> an update about the deadly condo collapse in florida. the miami-dade county mayor saying minutes ago that she is committed to a full investigation as more than 150 people remain unaccounted for. welcome to fox news live from washington, i'm griff jenkins. >> i'm jacqui heinrich. a newly surfaced report from 2018 said there was mainly structural damage under part of the building although it's unclear if that directly contributed to this week's collapse. steve hergan is at surfside, florida with a closer look at

recovery efforts. >> no rescues overnight or this morning. the numbers stand as they have been. four people confirmed dead, 159 missing and this as officials continue to stress this is a search and rescue operation. here is the mayor of miami-dade. >> we continue to have hope. we're continuing to search. we're looking for people alive in the rubble, that's our priority and our teams have not stopped. >> that report that you cited from 1918, that there were cracks in the beams of the parking garage, around the pool deck and also erosion of the concrete. this has sparked an immediate audit of buildings in the area as well. this,as a memorial sprung up on a chain link fence. friends and relatives posting pictures and photos of those missing as we hear from those

who survived that night. >> do you feel like you're given a second opportunity? >> i don't know why. what's our purpose, honestly. the fact is we survived and so many people didn't is definitely heartbreaking and i don't know. i'm happy the four of us made it and things could have been so different by like 15 feet, maybe the difference between us. >> while many here continue to hold out hope for finding survivors in that rubble, they've begun to take dna swabs from relatives in preparation to identify remains. jackie, back to you. >> steve, i've got some reports this morning that there was a fire that broke out in the rubble and that was hampering rescue efforts. can you talk about that a little bit? >> it's certainly been making it harder for rescuers because the smoke also, they always have to weigh what they do by putting water on that fire. they're increasing the weight which could cause more rubble

to fall. putting at risk any survivors, it's a tough balancing act for the first responders. >> steve, you've done so much hurricane coverage over the years. can you talk about the structural risks being on the coastline and over years the integrity can, as we saw, fall away? >> there's a lot of factors involved. miami-dade has one of the best urban rescue teams in the world. these are people who have dealt with hurricanes in the past. they went to haiti for that earthquake. they are proceeding with caution, with engineers and re respirators, but risky conditions, this is a building halfway collapsed so they're taking a risk to try to find people each day. >> what's sentiment from people, the families who are still, you know, waiting for an update? is anxiety growing? what's the feeling on the ground there? >> i think it's the kind of agony we've seen in other stories.

back in chile, people were waiting to hear from miners underground. it's agony for people. >> they're in our thoughts and we certainly pray for them. thank you, steve. ♪♪ >> to the southwest border we go. you're looking live at our fox drone sky team flying in mission, texas over that very small portion of the trump wall that was built, as you can see, not continued. that gape right there is a major thoroughfare through where officials on the ground and rgv say there were apprehensions in the last 24 hours, the new incoming chief, a rural chief of the border patrol, raul ortiz was once the sector chief there. many on the ground are hoping they will bring some relief to what is ground zero for the border crisis as we take a look

there right in the middle of that in mission, texas is our own alex hogan doing fantastic reporting this week. high, alex. >> hi, griff. well, we're here as you mentioned in the rio grande valley. but about 10 hours away, that's where the vice-president, kamala harris, visited for her first trip to the southern border. she was in el paso and there she visited border protection facilities. she also talked with immigration advocates. speaking about the root causes of migration and she also touted the administration's progress that they made so far. >> people have been housed in humane conditions the last years by asylum system that's been broken and in five months we've made progress. there's much more work to be done. >> on the ground in rgv we've seen how busy it is in the most common crossing point in the

southern border. we joined the la hoya police department who used atv's and utv's getting lost. the officers work 12-hour shifts to make the rescue. >> some of them get scared of us because they think they're in mexico and they think we're maybe out to do their harm. once they found out that we're not, smiles. it's incredible to see that. it's something that, you're not going to ever get to see that unless you see it firsthand. >> and griff, that's something that you and i have both been able to see in our time reporting here on the ground, seeing just how busy it is every single day. >> alex, you had that great interview there with the la hoya p.d. they're quite something, special, many of them didn't sign up for this, but they're answering the call under this operation stone garden. whether it be border patrol

officials or the local enforcement officers, how is the morale? how are they handling this surge that's been like a five-alarm fire for the last four months? >> well, griff, i've been asking many people that same exact question. we heard in del rio this week during the state of the border address, agents were saying that they're frustrated, but they're highly motivated and i did speak with the police department in la hoya about that yesterday asking them with everything that you're seeing every single day, how do you feel? do you feel frustrated as well? they say it's a little different for them as police officers. they are trained to rescue people, to make those rescues and they say that this is something that they hope they can do as much as possible, taking that humanitarian approach to be able to help people. but across the board there's a balance of exaspiration and frustration, but knowing that what they're doing is helping the people who cross the border

every day. >> i have to ask you quickly, is there a sign of a lull? has it slowed down since you've been there this week? >> no, it's not. regardless where you drive along the southern border, you'll see the white patrol vans, they're practically everywhere you look. we've been driving different places for live shots and we'll see happen to see people crossing and stop and hear their stories, again, some travelling for weeks or months on end with no sign of slowing down. griff: alex hogan, live for us in mission. thank you, alex. joining me now, republican senator from tennessee and member of the senate commerce science and transportation committee, marsha blackburn. senator blackburn, thank you for taking time on this saturday. you just heard our report with alex, obviously the rio grande valley continues to be ground zero, but really the entire 2000 mile stretch of our southwest border is just out of control and it doesn't seem

that vice-president harris brought much confidence that it's going to change anytime soon. your reaction? >> griff, vice-president harris went to the wrong place in texas and it took her 93 days to get there. she should have gone to the rio grande valley. she should have gone over into arizona where the sinaloa cartel is putting the drugs across the border, fentanyl. they're telling there are record amounts of drugs on our streets coming out of mexico. so, every town is a border town. every state is a border state. vice-president harris does not have a solution to this because they don't want to admit that president donald trump was right. the remain in mexico policy worked. building a wall was working. it's what our border patrol

wants. and what they are doing, the biden administration, is putting all of our law enforcement officers, whether they're border patrol or local sheriffs, putting property owners all in danger every single day with that open border. griff: senator, you raise a good point. because vice-president harris did not go to the rio grande valley, migrants coming from the northern triangle and el paso is mostly coming from mexico if you look at recent statistics and figures. there's something about democrats going to el paso. if we look back, we pulled the tape from 2019 when senator booker then a primary candidate for president showed up and was actively helping walk migrants across that bridge between juarez and el paso and then

secretary mayorkas' first trip was to el paso. >> and you had representative escobar who was truly an inappropriate official to be there who sent her staff into mexico to help coach these asylum seekers what to say and how to do it. helping people circumvent u.s. law. it is amazing, but they are-- they are trying to push these migrants across the border, as you mentioned. el paso is mainly where those from mexico are entering, griff, so far what we know, there are individuals from over 160 different countries out of the 500,000 apprehended so far this year that are crossing this border illegally. this is a program that is out of control. it is the biden border policy. they need to secure this border

and put an end to the human trafficking, sex trafficking, the drug trafficking, the gangs that are coming across. we are seeing increased violence on our streets. we know from our border patrol that they're apprehending drugs, weapons, this is the situation out of control. it needs to be secured. griff: senator, just in the time we have remaining about 30 seconds here, i do want you to get you to weigh in on where things stand on an infrastructure deal. it seems it's taken a turn. how confident are you that something will get done? >> i'm not confident at all. you have president biden having said e, oh, i'll sign this bill and the bad faith negotiation reveals, all along, they had said here is how we can look to repurpose money that was left

over from cares, what to do things with no taxes, you know, felt like they had something that they could work with. it was still too large for me, but, griff, then you have the president saying, oh, we weren't going to sign it without the second bill that deals with all the human infrastructure that i wanted to do, as he says, with elder care, care for children, childhood and money. >> marsha blackburn, thank you for taking time and we'll see where it goes. >> let's bring in north carolina congressman david price, homeland security, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> i want to talk a lot about infrastructure, but before we get into all of that. i want to have you react to senator blackburn's comments about the border and the

vice-president's trip. do you think the vice-president should have gone to the rio grande valley and should the president go? >> of course. and they will go. this was a trip to el paso, it was a well-conceived trip, i think. you know, the most interesting thing that the senator just said, it was inappropriate for the congresswoman from el paso to be involved. i wonder who she thinks would be more appropriate. congresswoman escobar was there, she should have been, but the trip was focused on the progress that's been made on the border where we had something like over 5,000 children in detention being held and now it's under 500. we've had a lot of progress in getting the children into the care in facilities and they're status is determined. but we've made orderly progress in getting the process in place

where people can seek asylum. they don't have to stay in these dangerous, squalid conditions in mexico for weeks, months on end. i've visited some of those facilities. it was not-- it did not do our country proud. we need an orderly process, hopefully that people can apply for asylum, back in their home country and not make that trek, but we're getting there. we have cooperative arrangements now with the mexican and guatemalan governments that are helping us get there. a lot of these people are applying for asylum in mexico and not the u.s. and that's probably more sensible for lots of them. so, the vice-president's trip was to call attention to the situation and demands a great deal of attention, but also to call attention to the progress we're making. >> congressman that trip did come 90 days into this whole initiative. i mean, she's made the assertion that this was not a response to political pressure, but do you think the democrats

need to have a more consistent sizable presence at the border and making that effort visible to people? >> sure. that's what the trip was about, and there are lots of indications that we're making progress on a very difficult challenge. by the way the first thing she did was to go to the countries of central america where these migrants are coming from. i don't know why anybody would think that that is inappropriate. i remember when it was late in the obama administration, i was on a homeland security trip. i remember general john kelly, he was head of southern command back then and he was one of the first who said you need to address the root causes. we need to have something like a plan colombia for these countries in central america so that people stay in their own countries and they are secure and they have some hope there. and of course, he came into the trump administration, and donald trump didn't listen to him, but we need now to understand once again that long

run, these people need to stay at home and be able to stay at home safely and securely. >> i want to get to infrastructure. the white house has, now, walked back the president's statement that he's not going to sign this bipartisan bill if the reconciliation piece doesn't also come to his desk. the white house negotiator told senate republicans that the administration would clarify its position, but yesterday press secretary jen psaki did not repeat biden's conditions, took a softer tone than the president. i want you to listen to this sound and then i'll ask you a question. >> we're going to leave it to leadners congress to determine the sequencing and timeline for those pieces moving forward, but he's going to use every lever at his disposal, going to be involved, roll up his sleeves and work like hell to get those of these pieces of legislation done. he fully expects, hopes to sign both into law and he will leave it to leaders in congress to determine the timeline and the sequencing.

>> so clearly a softer approach from jen psaki there, but do you think that president biden himself needs to make a new statement to save this bipartisan plan? >> no, it's very clear what's going on here and i -- the previous interview, she was so shocked, shocked to find that the president wants to move ahead with a broader infrastructure and american families plan, probably using this reconciliation process, republicans hopefully will be some will go along with that, but it probably could be successfully filibustered so that has to proceed alongside whatever can be agreed upon in a bipartisan way. i don't think there's-- i've never had any doubt about that, i'm surprised that she has. >> there's a condition though that he would not sign-- >> well, the conditional language is, as he-- as they've clarified, this is not totally in his control. there will be in the congressional process a -- a

determination what of this we can pass and then we'll hopefully do both in tandem. >> thank you, i'm sorry we've got to leave it there. we've run out of time. >> had all right, thank you. >> thank you for being with us. much more on the infrastructure deal when chris wallace talks to biden senior advisor richardson, that and much more on fox news sunday. check for time and channel. and howard kurtz talks to former arkansas governor mike huckabee about the coverage of vice-president harris' border trip and much more 11 a.m. eastern. griff: from science fiction to real life, alien objects caught on tape. the details and the government's out of this world ufo report next. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

jacqui heinrich. >> . griff: >> the top story, the miami-dade mayor saying today, crews are having a difficult time finding the cause of a fire burning in the rubble of the champlain tower south in surfside, florida. that fire is causing a lot of problems for the search for survivors. right now 127 people are still or have been accounted for, but 159 are still missing. four people are confirmed dead. fire officials saying,

unfortunately, they haven't heard much to guide them in their search. there's something that they're trying to rely on to target their efforts. >> we'll still use our resources and sonar for sounds, no we haven't heard sounds for a while. >> so this is coming as we see structural issues found at the building, and miami-dade's mayor saying they're doing an audit to all of the buildings close to meeting that 40-year review in that area to ensure that they're safe. >> changing gears, the truth may be out there, but a lot more work needs to be done on ufo's, that's accord to go a newly declassified government report. lucas tomlinson has been digging into the report to bring us the latest. i've been peststering him in the hallways. what's the latest? >> the ufo report will likely leave many people unsatisfied. the evidence is largely

inconclusive. the u.s. government had as little explanation for the sightings. they warn the unidentified objects clearly pose a safety of flight issue and may pose a challenge to u.s. national security. these observations could be the result of sensor errors, spoofing or observer misperception and require rigorous reanalysis. this off the flight of a jet renewed interest in ufo. >> they're going against the winds, 120. and oh, my gosh. wow. >> okay. >> texas congressman brian babin weighed in. >> i'm of the opinion that definitely as the report says we don't have enough data. is it extraterrestrial? i don't know. i sure hope not. i can tell you that.

>> senator marco rubio pushed for the report says it's just the first step, quote, the defense department and intelligence community have a lot of work to do before we can understand whether these aerial threats present a concern and adam schiff wants to know if the foreign objects are the work of an adversary or debris. and there's a classified version of the report, too. griff: that was my follow-up question, i printed out the unidentified phenomena report and i can't see anything about what might be contained in a classified annex? do you have any idea what it would be? >> and because it's classified it will not be publicly released griff. it will remain secret. griff: lucas tomlinson on top of this. jacqui, what do you think? you've been reporting on everything else, but let's talk just about the ufo report. what are your thoughts? >> i mean, i thought it was a

nothing-burger. i wanted all the answers, but that was probably too hopeful. griff: well, listen, we've come a long way from the 2019 raid of 51 where a few enthusiasts gathered to charge the gates. you now have bipartisan members of congress as we heard from lucas, from marco rubio to adam schiff, trying to get to the bottom of this and really out of this report which i will confess i read front wards and backwards, point out roughly 143 encounters since 2003, they can't rule out the existence of something, possibly other worldly, if you will. jacqui: i mean, i agree with you. i wish we had more information, an investigation of what might be classified, you know, just so we could have those answers a little bit more fully, but when it comes to, you know, funding more research into this, it's hard to get anything funded on capitol hill.

so, hold out hope, but that's about it. griff: i'll just say, finally, it does say there, quote, it clearly poses a safety of flight issue so god forbid one of these should crash into one of our navy pilot because we keep seeing these over and over and maybe finally get to the truth if one has a crash. jacqui: gosh, i hope it doesn't come to that. two other mysterious deaths come to light as south carolina investigators try to solve the brutal double murder of a wealthy mother and son. that's next. ♪welcome back to that same old place♪ ♪that you laughed about♪ ♪well, the names have all changed♪ ♪since you hung around♪ welcome back, america.

>> we're going to surfside, florida, where the search is on for the 159 people unaccounted for. the miami-dade mayor says unfortunately nobody else was found overnight. we'll bring you updates as we get them during the day. >> turning now to the murders of two members of a prominent

south carolina family that has shocked their community. now they're raising questions about the unsolved homicide of 19-year-old steven smith back in 2015 after investigators announced they were giving the cold case another look in connection with the recent double murder. earlier this week, i spoke to the former trooper charged with investigating smith's case in 2015 about why he thinks there's more to this story than a hit and run. >> there was no evidence that, you know, pointed towards this being a hit and run or a vehicle even being involved in it. it looked like it was more staged, like possibly the body had been placed in the roadway, you know, it just-- it did not fit the description of what a hit and run would look like. the injuries to his person along with, i guess you would say the lack of any physical

evidence that a vehicle was involved, and then when you, you know, kind of have to step outside the box and wrap your head around the fact, maybe if he was placed in the roadway in hopes that on this dark country road that a vehicle comes along and runs him over, you know, if that occurs, then you know, you've got a body, you've got a body that was hit in the roadway, and everybody just assumes and chalks it up as, you know, for whatever reason, this individual was in the roadway and got struck by a vehicle, but, you know, we had none of that. griff: joining me now for more on this case, south carolina criminal defense attorney susan williams. sauce susan, thank you for taking time to join us. we spoke earlier this week when i was down there. what is the latest you're

hearing? >> the latest your we're hearing in the murder case that there is a reward to find the person or persons that are responsible for the murders of maggie and paul murdoch and also, there are some new developments on miss maggie murdoch's cell phone being found. griff: susan, that interview i did with todd proctor, he told me after that interview that the state law enforcement division or sled as it's known, that's in charge of the entire overall investigation, they're like the south carolina's version of the fbi, he tells me that sled has not contacted him to talk to him about what he might know. do you have any idea why it is, what did sled find that they decided to reopen a six-year-old case in connection to this latest double murder? >> well, what i know is that steven smith's body was found dead in 2015 on a dark country road. the investigation, of course,

ended up that this was a hit and run and the murdoch name did come up, however, there were no arrests made and steven's mother sandy smith has never given up. she's always had hope that this case would be reopened. she considered this a murder and it's my hope that miss sandy will have the closure that she needs as a result of this, of reopening the case. griff: you raised a great point, susan. when we foia'd the reports from law enforcement from that case the murdoch name comes up some 40 times. i asked todd proctor if he was able to speak with any members of the murdoch family, which were surfacing in his investigation. here is what he said. take a listen. >> they were very withdrawn as far as telling us what they knew and what they thought had

occurred, as the heat is getting put on, they shut down, and when you don't have enough evidence to really compel somebody legally to speak with you, you have to go off of their willingness to speak to you. >> does that include speaking with members. murdoch family? >> it does. >> you're just not able to pursue those interviews? >> correct, yes, we did nt have enough to legally compel that to sit down and speak with us. >> who did you want to speak to? there's the older son buster, now deceased younger son paul, the father, who had you hoped to speak with that you didn't get to? >> anyone of them. any one of them. griff: so, susan, it seems according to today practice tore, that the murdaugh family stonewalled that. is that possible in a town like that, a powerful legal family

can stonewall the investigation? >> i don't know that the murdaugh stonewalled former trooper proctor, it could be they never got around or the investigation stopped. my understanding is that the murdaugh family is cooperating fully in the investigation. double murder. griff: susan, i want to ask you, when i was there this past wednesday, sled put out that the community was not in danger, but yet at the same time you see the reward to catch the killers, $100,000, those two don't mix. >> right. so first of all, i think that it's important to understand that the murgaugh are not putting a number on the value of these two very important family members in this very prominent family and you know, i hope that putting this reward

out there encourages people to come forward. it is something that will hopefully give the murdaugh closure and some other folks in the community closure that they need. griff: you have been a prosecutor before you were a criminal defense attorney. in the time we have left, what would you be looking for in this double murder case? what do you want to know that could hold some clues? >> right now, i want to know exactly what is on the phone that was recently found. i think there are two components to knowing what's on the phone. number one, it would be the forensic part. what was the last text message. what was the last dial? was it 911? what was the last voice mail. what was the last photograph taken? where did the cell phone ping from and then the physical part of it, how was this phone? what's the condition of this phone? did someone use cleaning agents to try and clean the phone? is there dna other than miss

maggie murdaugh's dna? did someone try to run over it and destroy the content? that's what i'd like to know right now. griff: a lot of questions and not many answers. susan williams, thanks for taking time. >> thanks for having me. jacqui: the battle for critical race becomes a heated battle in a wealthy suburb of washington. >> i'd never thought i'd see the day when i had to stand up and protect my own kids from the school board. you put the feelings of a few in front of the other student body and that's completely unacceptable.

>> my child is not-- as long as you put your agenda on my child they will not be returning to the school. [cheers and applause] >> a new chapter in the debate over critical race theory after teachers offered students extra credit, testified a bill against banning critical race in schools. and parents defending education is nicole nealy, thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. so these rhode island lawmakers pushed this bill to prohibit schools from teaching critical

race theory and the teacher offered extra credit to those who would testify against legislation. you've shade that's abuse of the dynamic, the power dynamic between a student and a teacher. can you explain that? >> of course, i mean, students, even if they don't agree with the bills or if they agree with the bill. they know what the teachers want them to say. students are mindful they need letters of recommendation, gpa, a better school. and students are essentially being coerced to say what the teachers wanted them to say used as puppets. we didn't know there was extra credit involved. so many students were testifying lining up, there were speakers that wanted to support the bill, it was a disgusting use of school's time and authority. >> you've been leading sort of an effort to bring attention to critical race theory and how

it's used in schools. the joints chief of staff defended studying critical race theory in the military. >> i want to understand white rage, i'm white and i want to understand it. jacqui: what do you make of that. if he's defending teaching critical race theory in the military, why is it a problem to teach it in schools? >> it's one thing to read it. i had to read karl marx, in school, and that doesn't mean it has to be a play by play, students are not taught to engage with the material critically, they're told this is how the world is period full stop. there's a big difference in that. our students are told what to think not how to think and that's where we have a big problem. jacqui: there's been a broad concern about government overreach with the department of education, and budget proposal prioritizing grants for schools that would teach the 1619 project, that drew a lot of blowback.

education secretary cardona said on the hill, the federal government will stay out of the school curriculum and that will be state and local officials. if state and local officials are making decisions to teach this in schools, why is that a problem coming from the locality at that level. >> sure, well this grant program is essentially, it's bribery. we're trying to encourage schools to apply for the money, wink-wink, we know what the grant proposal has to say. these are supposed to be used for civics education. we facilitated 11,000 comments in opposition to the rule and i have no doubt that the biden administration is going to proceed with it anyway because they know what they want to do. we want states and localities to set the curriculum and we hear from teachers and school boards across the country in states like california, illinois where they don't want to teach these things and yet mandated to do that it's that force and coercion, it's denying localities the student to make the decisions

themselves and what's right for their communities. jacqui: you've also said that folks who speak out against critical race theory have been maligned. can you explain that? >> sure. i mean, we hear from parents all the time, probably, we have a tip line between 100 to 200 tips a week and probably 95% of them say they want to be anonymous because they fear repercussions not only for them, but for their children. we're seeing people receive hate mails, violent threats so i think these are very, very credible fears that people have because it's been such a toxic issue. parents know what their children are coming home and saying. they're seeing the materials that are making their children feel bad about themselves. they're seeing the privilege walks and you know, issues like that and they don't like it and just to say i don't want my child to be taught that they are oppressed or an oppressor, suddenly makes you a bad person. as parents, we know better than anybody how to raise our children. the fact that schools are trying to interfere with that

is an insult to us and our intelligence. jacqui: real quick, i want to play you sound from a he sound how to reefer to trans and nonbinary kids. >> using correct names and pronounce for trans gender and nonbinary kids is suicide prevention. you're going to hear a lot of voices tonight a few are likely to be very loud. this policy hurts no one and helps some of our most at risk kids to simply feel welcome in their schools. jacqui: we've got less than 10 seconds left. do you agree that this doesn't hurt anyone? can you see her point? >> i can see her point, but it's also forcing a lot of people in the community to perhaps say things that goes against their personal views, that's coercive, that's compelled speech and a first amendment violation. jacqui: thank you for being with us. i appreciate your time. >> thank you. griff: the mercury is rising to brutal levels in the northwest. so how long will this heat may

building's contract. >> sister building right down the street. i know they are looking at and was build at the same time with the same designer. they are looking at working with them and they are considering potentially evacuating them. jacqui: steve harrigan following all of it from surfside, florida. hey, steve. steve: search and rescue operations continue aside from fire in rubble. it's still making their work more complicated and smoky haze around the area, an area that's already dangerous we are talking about a partially collapsed building. the structure that could give in way in places and the water making some of the debris heavier and making job more challenging. the report you cited has major structural flaws from 3 years ago cited in the building that collapsed. laws in and around the parking garage as well as the pool deck and even eroded concrete.

there are real concerns that other buildings in the area could be vulnerable and many buildings are ordering and ad it of their structure right now. a memorial has sprung up, opposite the site of the collapse. people posting photographs, pictures, hanging them on chain-link fence of some of the people who are missing and we are hearing more and more stories of what people went through that thursday night after the collapse 1:30 a.m. here is a survivor. >> we got down to third floor. there was an elderly woman, she needed help. my son and i helped her get down to first floor. when we got down there, we realized that the first floor had collapsed a little bit, about 3 feet and we had to follow our way up in rubble and with another woman as well, able to pull that off and then get to the pool deck. steve: relatives and officials still holding out hope but the

numbers haven't changed and no rescues this morning and the death poll stands confirmed at 4 and 159 people still unaccounted for. griff: steve, it's griff. in situations like -- well, in haiti obviously the earthquake and in situations like this, you see a multitude of different rescue teams coming in. is the effort growing, are you seeing a enlargement of the search and rescue effort there? steve: there was an immediate response both from surfside and other towns around florida, even some civilians were approaching from the beach to try to help and locate some of the survivors. so we have seen a tremendous effort and more and more people coming in. urban rescue teams from across the country and they brought in heavy equipment too. so they're really going at it both from the top where the rubble and from the bottom underneath the parking deck. they say they have all of the

supplies, all the technical equipment that they need to carry out what is still a slow and pain-staking effort. griff: and let me ask you for your feedback, you're talking obviously to the residents there. not just survivors but people that live in the area and you listed in florida, obviously, for quite some time, you understand many of the buildings look similar. is there anxiety, is there a feeling of concern for people, residents of nearby buildings? steve: there's immediate anxiety for building constructed very much like this building down the block from it because structural flaws were cited in this building, something like a flat area near the pool deck which did not allow water to run off, so if there are basic flaws in the construction and similar building a block away, that's where the anxiety is focused right now. everyone who owns condominiums along the strip raising concerns and we are seeing more buildings trying to audit their own structures to make sure this won't happen to them.

griff: and just a quick note about the weather, obviously, during that press conference a little earlier it was pouring, now looks like it's let up, is the weather playing a factor in what the search and rescue teams are trying to do right now? steve: between the fire, the smoke from the fire, the thunderstorms and the lighting, it has made it a lot harder and keep in mind, some of the rescue workers underground where there are broken pipes in heap-deep water as well. so it's a real challenge for trying to do what they do. griff. griff: steve harrigan on the ground in surfside, florida. jacqui: thanks, griff. vice president kamala harris' trip to southern border has met with criticism over the timing and location of the victim while former president trump's trip is just days away now. alex hogan has more for us live in mission, texas, hey, alex.

alex: hi, j acqui, the small portion separates mexico from rio grande valley where apprehensions this year have are up 406%. just yesterday the vice president made a trip to the border herself. she was in el paso and there she visited are you sure toms and border production facilities as well as a center during her time there. now, as far as the criticism that she's faced, the vp has pointed to the previous administration. >> we inherited a stuff situation. in fact, right now in el paso was the launch of the child separation policy. you saw it as it rolled out on the ground in realtime. alex: to put this in context of why there's criticism to begin with as far as the location, el paso is the third on the list of sectors with the most apprehensions behind del rio second and rgv, which is the biggest portion of the southern border.

not only are border patrol and state troopers working day in and day out but so are local police departments. officers in the la joya police department spent 12-hour shift searching in the brush to find those who need help. >> it has nothing to do with politics, we don't have nothing to do with that. this is a humanitarian effort. these people are dehydrated, some of them cannot walk, some of them are sick and they're out there and they get lost. so our job is to go find them. alex: and that is exactly what we have seen day in and day out especially as the southern texas temperatures continue to rise. right now the heat index is bringing the temperature nearly to 100 degrees and yesterday police were able to find 20 children who had been left all alone out in the brush by the water. jacqui. jacqui: you have been going out

at night and border patrol and cameras can't seem to get close together, can you explain what's going on? alex: yeah, jacqui, that's something that we have seen different in our time, the apprehensions that we are see if we are by ourself, people come to us and approach us asking where they can go surrender to border agents but recently we have seen some border patrol cars pull off to the side, opening their vehicles, so basically allowing all of the migrants to get onto a bus, shielded from our cameras which is something that we had not seen previously. there was more of a congregation of people in this one field where we saw all of them being processed at once now. there seems to be more of an effort to try to keep some of that away from our cameras. we are not sure as to why that is, however, we will continue to go out night after night and be able to interview some of these people for ourselves. however, that is somewhat of a shift that we have seen in

recent days. jacqui: you were also mentioning one of the challenges with this temperatures getting hotter, you're seeing more instances of injuries, can you talk about the challenge for border patrol and for people who are coming across in these hot temperatures? alex: exactly. for some of the people that we meet, they've been walking not only for the day, they've been walking for weeks and in some cases months. i met someone who had been traveling for 2 years, but when you're talking about these temperatures, it's so humid out here, the heat index up to 100 degrees. they are walking without water. some people spraining ankles and a lot of people are facing the elements whether that be the temperatures and also bug bites, there's a lot of red ants out here and border patrol say these are all things that they're having to tackle but they themselves, of course, are fighting the elements, having to stay hydrated when they are out there trying to make the rescues and, of course, as the temperatures continue to rise it's only an uphill battle from

here. jacqui: alex hogan, thank you so much for great reporting, appreciate it. griff: joining us to discuss more, former acting ice director and former chief of the border patrol ron, thank you for taking time on saturday. you heard report from the rgven deniably ground zero for biden's border crisis. i want to ask you as someone who was in charge of the border patrol and ice, did vice president harris miss an opportunity by going to the rgv perhaps instead of or in addition to el paso? >> i believe she did. there was an opportunity for her to look at the problem where it's the most acute, where your reporter alex hogan is right now, the rio grande valley has always been a place over historical statistics for the border patrol where central american migrants choose to cross or more accurately where

the smugglers bring them. more than twice the apprehensions in rgv versus the vice president visited in el paso and where she was at in el paso, she was stone throw away that protects juárez and el paso, texas. they missed an opportunity to see the scope and magnitude of the problem and i'm concerned that they're trying to divert attention to the problems that were caused by the reversal of these policies and trying to talk about it like if it's in better shape on our own eyes are showing us what's happening on the border right now. griff: ron, i want to play a quick soundbite from some of the migrant that was interviewed here when vice president harris was in el paso. here is from nicaragua. this is what he said, listen. >> as i told you, i asked for reunification and i'm waiting for response on reunification and as i told you, i can not leave without my family. my wife is sick, my daughter is

a baby and the truth is even if the united states wants to give me a negative answer, i will not accept it. griff: will not accept a negative answer. of course, vice president harris went to guatemala to deal with the push pactors -- factors that caused migration but the pull factors they have a better chance of getting across and in this case he's saying he's demanding he's come if he can't get there the legal way. >> it's a very concerning scenario. your heart goes out to the people who are being oppressed or being persecuted or are in dire straits. we all understand that as compassionate americans, this is a country that has a rich history of immigration. but you can see that attitudes of people, you can see what the administration is putting forward. they're not very concerned about immigration enforcement. in fact, they gutted an immigration enforcement in the interior. and what we are seeing on the

border is another signal to the globe that says if you come to the country under these conditions, we are going to let you in. griff: in just a minute, i have to ask you, there's talk of title 42 being rescinded. what are you hearing and what would that mean if, indeed, they lift it? >> there was an article in "the new york times" yesterday that said that the administration is considering that right now. it doesn't have a shelf life. it will end eventually. the important thing for your viewers to understand and people inside the government, they need to prepare for adult immigration beds to hold people in detention because once title 42 is over, the border patrol will not be able to expel people back into mexico and so the alternatives there to hold them in detention so they can have their due process or release them at the border and i will tell you somebody that did this work for many, many years, if they start releasing directly at the border, single adults, we will have a wave like we've never seen. we are in record territory already, that would make it much more difficult for the border

communities, for border security and the men and women of the border patrol and their families. griff: ron vatello, former border patrol chief, thank you for your insight. >> thank you. griff: jacqui. jacqui: law enforcement under attack. in colorado police released video of ronald, the man who chased down and killed denver police officer gordon on monday along with chilling excerpts from a letter written by the shooters saying, quote, my goal today is to kill pd officers. meanwhile in florida after a widespread manhunt, police captured or saw wallace, suspect accused of shooting police officer of jason rainer, shot in the head and remains in the hospital in critical condition. according to the reports, the shooter may have ties to a black

militia group. homicides in major american cities have skyrocketed. near to date, portland are up 533%, albuquerque 131%, los angeles county has seen 111% increase and oakland is more than 82%. so for more on this, we are going to bring former milwaukee police chief ed flynn, thank you so much for being with us and -- >> good afternoon. >> as you have this rise in crime, you also have a rise in police retirements and resignation. over the course of the last year, new york city had a massive exodus, chicago retire retirements up 20% and how do you recruit officers when you have sharp rise in crime compounding the challenge of staffing? >> all of the issues are magnified on what has been unrelenting campaign to delegitimize and dehumanize

america's police officers. i think a climate is being created the deranged as well as career criminal well armed feel -- feel embolden to engage their desires to basically assassinate police officers as you've seen in fort lauderdale. nationially, i think it's no surprise that generally criminals are emboldened when police legitimacy has been undermined in city after city as well as the agencies that have been understaffed that they feel it's their streets, not the streets that are available to the average citizen. so it's a extraordinarily difficult set of circumstances and it's very difficult to attract recruits to what is by any definition a dangerous and difficult job. it's difficult to try to get recruits when they will be vilified in the press. it's a tough time. jacqui: there's a pretty broad sentiment that the political

climate, social climate is a tender box. one incident can spark a number like we had last year. how do you think the biden administration should respond as city mayors are expressing this fear that they've got really few options on how to regain control in their cities and curve the surge in crime? >> i think it's important for this administration to pay attention to its base which is those people who live in cities that are vulnerable as potential victims of violence. i mean, the most victimized community in america is the african-american community in central cities, they suffer terrible homicide rates. i think given the fact that mayors or democratic cities, not that i think any president would care about the party or the mayor, but i think the fact that they are a core constituency and very vulnerable should encourage the administration to continue making investments in quality criminal justice. i know they've made some moves recently that may be helpful in terms of spending some money for police hiring but i think, you know, they need to reinforce

some of the programs they've had more years that have transcended administrations and help the cities as rapidly as they can because time is wasting. jacqui: the biden administration said effectively in absence of the last week said part of the solution to this is more gun control. what's your take on that? >> well, it's a variable. certainly not an immediate solution because today somebody is going to get murdered with a gun that's already out there. there's 340 million firearms on the streets of america. last i heard we had more firearms than americans. certainly it's -- it's an approach that is not harmful to crime control and the long-term might be helpful. but right now we have a serious problem with the guns that are already out there in the hands of the wrong people who are not shy about using them and i think that's what we have to focus on. jacqui: one last question for you, police reform tax on capitol hill. the fraternal order of police is involved in the talks but there's a big concern that ranking file officers are skeptical washington can solve

this. yes or no, do you think it's possible to get around that on the hill? >> well, i think they're going to have to get around the qualified immunity issue which i think has been grossly badly oversimplified by those who pretend the police departments aren't already being sued. so i think that's -- that's got to be disposed of. jacqui: ed flynn, thank you so much for being with us. we have run out of time. appreciate it. >> okay. griff: as millions of americans plan on hitting the road, we will tell you what you need to know when we come back. ♪ ♪ ♪

griff: senate republicans accusing president biden of a bait and switch after the president tied bipartisan deal this week. mark meredith here with the latest controversy over the president's infrastructure bill. hi, mark. mark: griff, good afternoon to you, the white house remains confident that it can get both infrastructure package passed by congress as well as a separate bill that would contain a laundry list of different democratic priority items, but some critics say the president is risking losing republican support in infrastructure if he's going to pursue another massive spending bill all at the same time. it was only a few days ago that the president announced a

$1.2 trillion agreement for infrastructure including some $190 billion for roads, bridges and other major projects. a lot of money to fix the power grid and some money for public transit and 65 billion to expand broadband. white house aides now want the plan to be put into motion, they would like to see a proposal written into legislation and get to the president's desk by september. but biden seems to surprise lawmakers when he said he's going to keep pushing for a much larger bill, something like $6 trillion to expand child care, education, medicaid, the white house, though, insists this was always its plan. >> he wants the things to move in tandem, he's going push the white house bipartisan forward and move with congress to address priorities through the reconciliation process. i think what he said yesterday is what he said from the outset which is that the two things need to move together. mark: the white house is saying

it's always his plan and house republicans is not what they expected at all. gop leaders expect everything to fall apart. >> you can't have a deal that trillion dollars on infrastructure but you have to vote for 5 trillion at the same time too and you have to raise taxes on everybody and you have to have a green new deal. i don't think that's going to work. i don't think that's going to pass. i think they killed any opportunity. mark: the white house admits this is not a done deal yet and we know that president biden will keep working the phones in the next couple of days to keep bill alive on the infrastructure. as for the president is out in camp david and vice president in california and fox news informed staffers are leaving the office and so far the administration is not saying much on staff shake-up. griff. griff: mark, thank you. mark: you bet. griff: seems like the infrastructure deal is near the verge of falling apart, jacqui, i wanted to bring you in, you

monday through friday on capitol hill, you're at the center of this. i've been in the town for a long time. for a hot second it looked like we were getting a bipartisan deal but now we've talked to senator blackburn and others says that this is really heading south. jacqui: well, it was the condition that the president made, you know, saying that if this bipartisan bill shows up in my desk and the reconciliation package isn't there at the same time i'm not going to sign it. that's a new condition. everybody knew reconciliation was coming, that democrats planned to, you know, approach a lot of this social program funding in a second bill that they would do along party lines via reconciliation. what they didn't know that biden would hold the bipartisan bill and not sign it if that reconciliation didn't come in tandem with it. that was a new condition where republicans were very upset and felt like they had been swindled essentially because they get an agreement and get the rug pulled

out of them and trust has been eroded with the white house in the negotiations. griff: yeah. jacqui: that being said, they did just put out this bipartisan framework, so if biden clarifies what he meant by that and you saw the white house taking a much softer tone on friday, jen psaki had at least 3 opportunities to double down and reiterate what biden had said and she didn't each of those times. so, you know, watching for what biden does next, does he go out and make a new statement, does the administration clarify what he's going to do, rocheti told senators that the administration would let them know. griff: you broke the news about 2 hours and i think it's fascinating because gop doesn't feel the white house is negotiating in good faith then this is dead. jacqui: right. more than 41 million americans

are set to travel this fourth of july with 43 million plan to go drive despite from the highest gas prices in the last decade. here to talk about the rise in prices and also fears of inflation is fox business correspondent charles gasparino. charles, thank you so much for being with us. charles: thanks for having me. jacqui: you've got the record numbers expected on the holiday weekend but gas is high, also hard to get a rental car even. you've talked about how there's a lot of pinned up demand. is it just that, though, and how long can we expect to see numbers like this? charles: i think for a while. you were talking about the infrastructure bill and all of the spending, sounded like monopoly money there, 5 trillion here, 3 trillion there. a lot of money has been put into the economy from the government even before they started debating this stuff so people have cash on hand, interest rates are very low, most people are working now, the economy is picking up since we've had --

since we've had covid vaccines. new york city is opening up. people have a lot of money on their hands. when you have stable supply and massive amount of demand for goods, you get inflation and you're seeing before holiday season came on us, fourth of july where people traditionally go on vacation and do things as families. there was inflation seeping into the system, higher gas prices already, higher wages already. when this stuff start coming around, when people really start spending in terms of vacations and things of that nature, that's what a lot of economists are worried about. massive spikes in inflation. all you have to do is go online and look at hotel rates in miami, florida traditionally in the summer nobody really went to miami in the summer for a vacation, it's 9,000 degrees. it's hard to get a hotel room at predictably the best places in miami right now and that's because, you know, the supply of

people is outstripping the demand. people have money and they want to go on vacation and those who don't have -- traditionally didn't go to vacation to miami or didn't go on vacation are now going. we have an inflation problem and it's going to heat up in the next couple of months. jacqui: now when the administration has been questioned about inflation particularly about the gas prices, a lot of them will point out to numbers, you know, we saw this in 2018, we have seen in the last 5 or so years, what's your response to that? charles: well, they're right and by the way it's not just the administration, it's the federal reserve, the central bank, jarome powell, chairman of the federal reserve which prints the money. we've seen that in the past but, you know, there's factors that we haven't seen in the past. on top of all of the money that's already been pumped into the economy, you know, donald trump spent a lot of money, during dark kids of covid, huge covid stimulus packages, there's rock-bottom interest rates, you put all of that together, lots

of -- then on top of that, a vaccine which in and of itself is a stimulus package because people are going back to work and spending again and remember the recession and it was deep, it was mainly focused on the hospitality industry and most people did work, we were working, people were working via zoom, so remember it was a very narrow part of the economy that couldn't open and they're opening up now. all those factors together and you get a lot of money being pump intoed the system and that's why a lot of smart economists, including progressive economists i guess you say liberal economists, leftist-center economists like larry summers who worked for president clinton and president obama, i keep saying biden when i mean obama. maybe one and the same, maybe. but they're worried about inflation and i will tell you, all it takes, you know, a little bit of more inflation right now to see -- to see the stuff creep into food prices. that's when it really gets bad

to get out of this conservatorship. >> britney's lawyer has to file a motion to terminate the conservatorship and she will likely testify at that hearing and britney spears also needs to remain a neuropsychologist in my opinion to do a psychological workup. christina: britney spears says she does not want to do a medical evaluation, she just wants the arrangement to be over. during the hearing she said, quote, i want my life back and it's been 13 years and it's enough. i shouldn't be in a conservatorship if i can work and proslide money and work for myself and pay other people. it makes no sense. in the meantime britney's father says he's sorry to see daughter suffering and in so much pain and he loves. britney has not filed formal petition yet to end conservatorship and we will have to see what happens in court proceedings. jacqui: the fact that she didn't

want to go to mental health evaluation, the last time she went through this it came out worse for her on the other side. christina: right, the bottom line, she wants control over what happens to her personally, professionally, i mean, just so much lack of control for this woman who is 39 year's old and successful music icon. it's interesting, jacqui. jacqui: christina, thank you so much. griff: joining us for reaction, reason senior editor robbie suave and jessica tarlov. that was shocking for any that followed britney spears, shocking testimony coming from her, jessica, i will start with you, what was your reaction to what we heard from spears and where do we go from here?

jessica: well, i must admit i was a huge britney spears fan which makes me feel incredibly old. i was a huge fan. i hadn't paid much attention till "the new york times" documentary in conjunction with hulu that came out 6 months ago where suddenly i was alerted to the fact that there was a free britney movement and now hearing her system, it -- testimony and in terms of strictness of the conservatorship isn't fair. her estate is worth $50 million, that's a lot of money to everything on the panel when you think of an icon that britney spears and jessica simpson is worth a billion dollars and i know she has separate businesses and has done incredible job marketing herself and her shoes and her music and all of it, you've got to think that britney spears is being severely mismanaged in this particular instance and while her family draws salary from her and she

can't take out her own iud, something needs to change. >> that was a stunning component to her testimony, robbie, that she says she's on forced contraception, what do you think? >> i think it's moral scandal. i agree wholeheartedly with what jessica said and i grew up too listening to britney spears music. it could be the case that maybe it's legal and everything was done above board and in correct manner and yet it is still ethically wrong. it is wrong to have this kind of arrangement. it's eugenic, it's going back 100 years to, you know, to forcibly not sterilize but the court doing that, what greater violation of a person's liberty and autonomy could there possibly be. so it's -- frankly it makes me wonder how common that is, that aspect of this is for other

people who are not quite as well known and now at least britney spears is getting the awareness that she wants to get, what about everybody else in the arrangement. griff: that raises a good question and tragic to hear that she's simply not okay. clearly something needs to happen. i want to change gears a little bit because you can't be a panel unless we get a little politics in here and let's go to the peach state, georgia. obviously you have merrick garland, attorney general filing a lawsuit against georgia new voting law. here is what governor brian kemp said in his statement. this lawsuit is born out of the lies and misinformation the biden administration has pushed against georgia's election integrity act from the start among the things in it, creates voter id requirement for absentee voting and limits the use of ballot drop boxes, jessica, your reaction. jessica: well i was a little bit surprised about the timing, i

knew merrick garland was going to be in charge but when i read deeper about it i saw the correlation between what happened last week in terms of voting rights and there's only one republican that i know of supporting the voting rights act, lisa murkowski and when joe manchin got shot down, there were voter requirements endorsed by stacey abrams and republicans had no interest in making any progress there, that the doj would act and i will say there's a whole host of things in the georgia bill that i find to be problematic and most of them come back where this stemmed from. we have georgia officials top to bottom who said the election was clean. now they want to move to give state legislatures control over the election and state legislators in georgia, they are republican. griff: robbie, ten seconds left. i have to wrap it but i want to give you the last word. >> i don't agree all of the provisions of the new georgia certainly but i think this suit is probably doomed because

there's just difference given to state to set own policies. i don't think the supreme court is going to agree. but we will see, we will see if it gets there. griff: great discussion, thank you. >> thank you. jessica: thanks, griff. griff: trying to find answers in the double murder mystery in rural south carolina. that's next.

griff: new twist in the story of double murder of wealthy south carolina mother and son, investigators are reopening a 2015 cold case linked to the family. senior correspondent laura ingle live with the latest, hi, laura. >> such an interesting story, griff, as you know. just yesterday the prominent and influential family of mother and son offered up a 100,000-dollar reward for information in this case and as we've been talking about, there's the new twist where the investigators are also taking a look at another unsolved death that had gone

cold, cold case until this double homicide. let's get into here. maggie murdoff shot dead outside of country home, the bodies discovered by the husband and father alex murdoff, well-known lawyer in the area with family ties to electric prosecutors. no reports or motives have been identified here but something new did come up this month. investigators revealed based on evidence found at the scene, cold case from 2015 involving what had been called a hit and run accident that left young man dead six years ago would be reviewed in a new separate inquiry but police would not reveal what the evidence found at the scene was. now there has long been speculation that the death of 19-year-old steven smith who was found dead alodge -- along roadway wasn't what it seemed. as you reported, former prosecutor speaking to fox about this and says it never looked

like an accident to him. >> it looked like it was more staged, like possibly the body had been placed in the roadway, you know, it just -- it did not fit the description of what a hit and run would look like. >> and important to note, steven smith's body was found about 10 miles away from the murdoff's home and revealed last week family members say that the 22-year-old paul murdoff had been receiving threats shortly before his death. we reached out to police today, no new information but we are staying on it. give griff no new information but a lot of questions. laura ingle in new york, thanks, laura. jacqui: what we are learning about the suspect, somali man accused of the crime.

conditions. bystanders trying to take on attacker. he's now in custody. the man is not being named but thought to be 24-year-old somali immigrant. he's been receiving psychiatric care in the past because of violent tendency. police say there's no evidence anyone else was involved but motive has not yet been established. one witness says the suspect shouted out associated with acts of terrorism and at least are investigated whether this man was radicalized or simply had mental health issues. he had no criminal record and apparently no connection to the victims. he derived in germany six years ago to seek asylum and lived in homeless shelter. now the suspect is still being questioned by the police but he could be facing up to 3 counts of murder charges and also attempted murder charges. back to you, jacqui.
