arthel: a new obstacle in the race against time in florida and new questions were red flagged missed on that collapsed condo. a fire now spreading in the rubble of the 12 the-story high-rise that came down outside miami early thursday. it's hampering rescue crews combing through the rubble in a desperate search for survivors using every tool they can from heavy machinery to their bare hands. hello, everyone. welcome to "fox news live," i'm arthel neville. hi, eric. eric: hello, everyone, i'm eric shawn.
11:01 am
it is a desperate search and race against time. the confirmed death toll right now stands at 4 people, but you know more than 150 people who were in that building when it went down, well, they're still unaccounted for. possibly many of those trapped under the mountain of debris. and if as investigators try to determine exactly what caused this tragedy, we are now learning an inspection report from 2018 warned that, quote, major structural damage in a part of the building this a part of the concrete, they say, was not designed to move water away from the structure. that's called sloping. a lot of questions about the structural integrity of that building, steve harrigan live in surfside right now. that alarming report, doesn't seem like anything was done yet. what was the condition of the building, and do we know why the buildings department didn't catch this or possibly condemn it? >> reporter: eric, it's a 40-year-old building and really a lot offed red flags being raised. not cited as the exact cause of
11:02 am
the collapse, but certainly a report that had sat around for three years, apparently a multimillion dollar restoration project was about to get under way. there was actually a building inspector on top of the building the day before it collapsed. they were about to begin repairs but, certainly, major structural damage cited in this engineer's report. there were cracks in the beams and in the walls around the parking garage and around the pool deck as well, eroded concrete, exposed rebar. again, not saying that's what caused it, but certainly major red flag for that building and thousand for buildings all along the strip, especially a building constructed along a similar line by the same designer, the exact same system in place and perhaps the same flaws as well. so a lot of nervous people in expensive condos a along the beach today, eric. eric: the buildings department of the city said anything about why action wasn't taken sooner?
11:03 am
you point out an inspector was on the roof of the building the day before. >> reporter: that's right, and there's a rigorous audit now according to the mayor of miami-dade that's going to take place in a number of these buildings to make sure that they are up to code. this as surgery and rescue -- search and rescue efforts continue under difficult circumstances. there's a fire that's creating visibility problems as well as smoke inhalation problems for those first responders. by putting water on it, they are taking risk it could perhaps move debris onto the people who might still be alive in that rubble, so it's a real balancing act x. as you mentioned right now, the numbers remain the same. four confirmed dead, 159 missing. they are still calling this a rescue operation, till holding out hope, but we haven't seen any rescues friday overnight or saturday this morning, eric. eric: it is so sad. and finally, steve, in terms of exactly what the rescue teams
11:04 am
who are specialized this doing this, bringing in dogs going into the crevasses, can you describe what they're doing, what they're seeing or what it's like once they get inside there? >> reporter: highly experienced teams from miami and from all around, fema as well working. they are using dogs, they are using listening devices, and they are using cameras to try to find any source of life. on thursday there was a call, a voice from a woman x then that voice was lost, so you can imagine the agony of these first responders who have been working day and night under really hard conditions in a building that's shifting, in a building that's partially collapsed and sometimes underground with broken pipes and heavy water. very tough conditions, but they vow that there is still hope, they will continue the effort at real risk. eric? eric: all right, steve, thanks so much. arthel? arthel: well, of course, the families of people still unaccounted for praying and waiting on word about their loved one. joining us now from surfside,
11:05 am
rachel spiegel whose mother is missing. rachel, first of all, i want to tell you that i'm very sorry that we're meeting under these circumstances. but i do want you to tell us about your mom, judy spiegel. rachel, can you hear me? okay. i don't think we have rachel's connection -- >> yes. arthel: hi, rachel. this is arthel neville of fox news, we're live right now. if you can tell me about your mother,ty spiegel. >> yeah. my mom is the best person in the world. she is a caring, loving mother, wife, friend, grandmother. i mean, i'm devastated by this, i'm heart broken, and i hope that, you know, or we'll be reunited. arthel: i hope and pray for that as well. when's the last time you talked to your mom?
11:06 am
>> wednesday night. arthel: wednesday night. and what was that discussion about, if it wasn't too personal, can you share? >> we, my mom had texted me right before we were all going to bed, and she told me that she was getting a dress for scarlett, my daughter, that she really wanted, a dress that's actually in the mail. arthel: the dress is in the mail. >> yeah. arthel: well, listen, where are you right now? it seems like you're driving. where are you? >> yeah. we've been at the site all morning, and we haven't eaten, so we need to get something to eat. arthel: of course. of course. i understand that the condo was on the sixth floor. is that their primary home? >> it was originally purchased as a secondary home, but, you know, due to covid, my mom was staying there full time and helping me with my kids. arthel: and what about your father?
11:07 am
i understand, understandably so, that he's pretty devastated as we wait to hear more about your mother. >> he's sitting right next to me. so my father is kevin, my brother is doug. it's okay. my dad's right next to me. everybody's heartbroken. everybody's praying for a miracle. arthel: well, we do believe in miracles, you must know that. and, you know, as we're trying to, you are trying desperately to locate your mother, i understand you gave authority it is a dna sample. >> i did. arthel: how are you feeling right now? i can't even -- i can't imagine. >> i mean, i'm very scared. i mean, i'm not sure what else to feel. i'm scared but still maintaining hope. i actually, i was listening in to the segment you had before, i actually didn't know that there was a voice that was heard of a
11:08 am
woman. i mean, that's chilling for me, you know? imagine if that's my mom, you know? i mean, there's a million emotions, i'm just praying for a miracle. arthel: yeah. i felt the same way, actually, when i was listening to steve harrigan's report and i heard that item that he reported on, that there was a woman's voice that was heard. and i knew i was going to be talking to you, so i felt that same, you know, urge of -- or sense of hope for you as well. and, you know, again, i can't even -- i'd imagine on the level you can't even process what's happening and what's going on in your mind right now either really. you probably go in and out of, you know, reality and just seems so surreal to you. are there any particular thoughts, rachel, that seem to be playing over and over and over in your head these past few days? >> yeah. why her, why that day, you know?
11:09 am
she was supposed to leave town, so why, you know, she was supposed to leave town a couple of days later, you know? it's heartbreaking that, you know, why was she there that night, why didn't i tell her, oh, come sleep at my house, you know? i just am, i have no words. so heartbroken, and i pray for a reunion. arthel: i pray for that for you, for josh, for your dad, for your daughter scarlett, for your mom, judy, as well. listen, we're here for you, we're praying for you, for you, your family and everyone there dealing with this horrific tragedy there in florida. rachel spiegel, please let us know if there's anything we can do for you. thank you for taking time to talk to us right now. thank you. god bless. thank you. eric.
11:10 am
eric: many hoping for that miracle. well, now to a double murder mystery in south carolina. you may have heard about this, members of a prominent family there offering a $100,000 reward for information on the death of maggie mcgraw and her son paul. police have reopened an investigation from the 2015 hit and run cold case that occurred near the family's property there. laura ingle live with the very latest on this unfolding mystery. hi, laura. >> reporter: hi, eric. well, we know that something was found at the murdoch's home as this investigation started earlier this month, but we don't know what it is that investigators found that caused them to reopen this 2015 cold case. on top of that, we're now learning the family members say that the 22-year-old who was killed was receiving threats just before the double homicide. now, we're talking about this family, maggie more damage and her 22-year-old son paul who were found shot to death earlier this month, on june 7th.
11:11 am
and father of the two is the one who made the gruesome discovery. investors revealed based on evidence found at the scene, they are now reopening this hit and run case from 2015 that left 19-year-old steven smith dead near the family's home on a country road. a former police officer told fox there has long been speculation that the crime wasn't what it seemed. >> matter of fact, he had, like, either keys or his wallet, i know his phone or, you know, halfway hanging out of his hispocket. you know, it just did not fit the description by any means that this individual was struck by a vehicle. >> reporter: and in another twist, the 22-year-old, paul, was out on bond awaiting trial on charges of boating under the influence in connection to the death of a 19-year-old woman who was on his boat in 2019. now, in regards to the double homicide, there have been no arrests, there are no suspects
11:12 am
and no motive known at this time. we have reached out to police in south carolina again today to see if there's any update. as of right now, there is none, but we continue to follow this developing story. eric. eric: all right, laura, thank you. arthel? arthel: all right, eric, thank you. the pacific northwest bracing for what could be a record-breaking and life-threatening heat wave. temperatures in triple digits for parts of oregon and washington state. and the sweltering weather could last are for days. meteorologist adam klotz is here with your fox weather forecast. adam. adam: hey, arthel. you said it, the real big heat wave's going to be settling in on the western half of the country in the next couple of days and linger into early next week. here are your temperatures, you take a look at the map and think, boy, there's a lot more heat in the east, but we're really just getting going what's going to be a hot day, hot weekend and then into early next week.
11:13 am
these are your forecasted highs for the day, and you see fairly widespread numbers up into the triple digits, southern california in the hundred and teens and areas where they typically don't see that extreme heat, oregon and washington, some numbers topping off at 1087 degrees -- 107 degrees, 105 degrees. it is going to be very hot and dry. and we see as far as heat advisories go, we've had heat watches, warnings up and down the entire coast. dangerous to be outside during the peak hours, you're going to want to head outdoors in the evening hours or very early in the morning, and that's what those heat advisories are indicating. temperatures will be climbing, again, over the next few days, not just today, from 107 to 115 degrees in oregon. you're seeing something similar in seattle with well over 100 degrees. that's the case all the way up and down california. very hot temperatures, very extreme heat. here's your forecasted highs for
11:14 am
the rest of the country. still warm in the eastern half, but these aren't record-breaking temperatures. if you live right in the middle of the plains where the warm air and cold air meet, they're tracking some showers. thunderstorms, of course, also following those. arthel? arthel: adam klotz, thank you, from fox weather. everything? eric e eric vice president harris finally visiting the southern border yesterday more than 90 day after the president named her the point person if on the migrant crisis. the vice president went to el paso. critics, though, pointing out that's hundreds of miles from the epicenter of the migrant surge in the rio grande valley. alex hogan is in mission, texas. and mission, texas, is 797 miles away from where the vice president was yesterday. hi, alex. >> reporter: hi, eric, that's right. the vice president did make that trip yesterday, but this came 93
11:15 am
days after she was appointed border czar and 5 days before the former president, president donald trump, will make his visit right here. during her tripp to el paso, harris did make several stops, and she also said that the administration is making a lot of progress in recent months. she visited a central processing center and a u.s. customsborder protection facility thanking the men and women for their hard work. she did face some questions about her trip to the border. >> how did you decide that right now was the right time to make your first trip to the border? >> well, it's not my first trip. >> as the vice president. [inaudible] >> so an important aspect of this visit is this visit after the work we did in guatemala and mexico. as i long said -- i said back in march i was going to come to the border, so this is not a new
11:16 am
plan. >> reporter: harris visited the el paso sector where apprehensions increased 267% compared to this time last year. former president trump will visit the rgv last are week where apprehensions have gone up 406%. altogether, apprehensions along the southern border have reached nearly 900,000 this year, most of those crossings taking place here in the rio grande valley. this is a live look over the rgv with our drone crew. agents are working 12-hour shifts lately, and they've been getting more calls from people who have crossed the border even calling 911 for help because they're lost. because they're calling from international phones, police here are not able to track them to be able to find them. however, what they're doing is they're using the cell towers, finding which one is pinged, and that at least gives them a better area of where they can start a surgery. eric? -- a search. eric? eric: and the oppress i of heat leading to worries there could

♪ arthel: well, a bipartisan infrastructure deal could be in general. ty after republican senators a accused president biden of blindsiding them thursday just hours after he announced agreement on the $1.2 trillion package. the president said he would only sign it if it got to his desk with a separate democrat-only measure worth $6 trillion. mark meredith live at the white house. so, mark, how is the administration responding to the republicans? >> reporter: arthel, good afternoon. president biden is up at camp david this weekend, but next week he is going to be back on the phone speaking with lawmakers, eager to keep that bipartisan deal on infrastructure alive. some of the critics say it's the president's words getting in the way of progress. earlier this week it was the president who announced there was a deal for $1.2 trillion on infrastructure spending. it's been a top priority since day one, and while the white house was celebrating on
11:22 am
thursday, the president even hinted negotiations are not over quite yet. >> there's plenty of work ahead to bring this home. this is going to require hard work and collaboration. but this group of senators and all the american people can be proud if today, because we've reaffirmed once again that we are the united states of america. >> reporter: some republicans say the president tried to play both sides, and he'll still push for a much larger spending package at the same time, a package considered by many to be a laundry list are of democratic priorities. among those not thrilled, the tweet e from senator lindsey graham who writes: no deal by extortion. it was never suggested to me during those negotiations that president biden was with holding hostage the bipartisan infrastructure proposal unless a liberal reconciliation package if was also passed. now, the white house has also made it clear that it has always been pushing publicly for two different panels here, one for the infrastructure that there's already a deal on and another to
11:23 am
address what they call human infrastructure, things for medicare expansion, education assistance, more government assistance. those debates are till coming, but there's a lot of debate about whether they're going to have the democratic votes needed to get a bill like that across. while the president was eager to say that a deal has been reached, when you hear from a lot of other folks, there's indications this is still a long way from being a done deal. arthel: mark meredith live at the white house, thanks. >> on this vote, the yeas are 50, the nays are 50. three-fifths of the senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, the motion is not agreed to. eric: well, that's vice president harris presiding over the senate as is one of her vp duties, announcing that sweeping voting bill did not move forward. senate democrats are growing more frustrated about that after republicans relied on the senate filibuster rule to block that
11:24 am
legislation from going to senate debate. it has now set off more calls from progressives and others to end the senate filibuster. at least two senate democrats not onboard with that including west virginia's joe chin -- joe manchin and senator krysten sinema from arizona. you know, the senator was warning her party may need the filibuster in the not too distant future writing in "the washington post" earlier this week, quote: once in a majority, it is tempting to believe you will stay in the majority. but a democratic senate minority used the 60-vote threshold just last year to filibuster a police reform proposal and a covid relief bill that many democrats view ared as inadequate. those filibusters were mounted to force continued negotiations toward better solutions. so what about this filibuster controversy? chris bedford joins us, senior
11:25 am
editor at "the federalist." so, as we point out, you need 60 votes, not the simple 51 majority of the senate. does the filibuster defend democracy or does it damage it? >> well, it certainly defends the republic as it was designed initially by the founders. and if i think as any party that's in the minority would want to have. but the house of representatives is basically mob rule. whoever has the most numbers will always win. the senate has historically, traditionally and ought to be -- it's losing that more and more -- the plus they call the cooling chamber of ideas. you need to compromise, you need to make deals, you need to cave in on some of your ideas. and when republicans are in charge, it can be extremely frustrating for them, the inability to get some of the nominations through for president trump, even fill his cabinet. when democrats are in charge, it can be extremely frustrating for them. but the problem for democrats
11:26 am
right now is they are not in charge, and the way to overcome that is not dismantle something that allows americans to actually come together, but it's to win more elections. eric: you know, the filibuster's not in the towning of our -- founding of our republic. it first started to be used in 1806. 1975 they went to the 60-vote margin for that. this is supposed to be the world's great deliberative body. so some would say, you know, it's a fake that it shouldn't be there in the first place. fellow, you're totally right in that, and thank you for pointing that out. the filibuster was started with by some of the people who were there at the founding, but it was later used. but the entire point of the senate, as imagined, as pitched in the federalist papers, was a place to calm down emotions, a place where people weren't always campaigning, a place where people could come together and try to make some deals. it does slow things down, and that's actually entirely the point, to frustrate people's
11:27 am
agendas and moves for power. that is entirely the point because quick-moving government is not always something you want in the case of emergency or war, it really is, the executive has that power, but in the case of legislation that'll have impacts for generations to come, you need to slow down, not vote with passion, and that's what the senate has traditionally done and ought to continue, but it has been weakened over and over by people who get greedy when they're in charge. eric: let's have two views, jeff merkley, democrat of oregon, on his view. >> well, mitch mcconnell has already gotten rid of the filibuster on his top priorities. he got rid of it on the ability to do tax cuts for the richest americans, on the ability to do tax cuts for corporations, he got rid of it on the supreme court. but my point here is nothing we do today prevents him from doing this in the future because he's already demonstrated that whenever he has a priority that he thinks is useful to him,
11:28 am
he'll pursue it. eric: and then krysten sinema wrote this in "the washington post" the other week, well, my support for retaining the 60-vote threshold is not based on the importance of any particular policy. it is based on what's best for our democracy. the filibuster compels moderation. it helps protect the country from wild swings between opposing policies, polls. so as you point out, i guess that is what the senate is for, you know? cool things off. >> exactly. you don't want things to move too quickly at all because it's dangerous to move too quickly, at least for our country -- these haws, they're ease -- these laws can be easier to pass than they can be to undo. both of those people are right there because mitch mcconnell has done damage to the senate because he felt that the democrats were being obstinate. harry reid has done this as well, and we're in danger of doing it again. this has not been a partisan thing, just democrats or
11:29 am
republicans. it's been both sides not trusting the other side, not willing to wait is and using tactics that'll block the other one that has allowed us to get to this point, and it's a threat to the country how untrusting both parties are of each other even it's republican for both of them to not trust each other. eric: and quickly, think it'll stay in. >> yeah, i think that nothing is going to get past the senate right now. i don't think they're really going to be able to accomplish too much without winning more elections. eric: all right. chris bedford from the federalist, thank you. >> thank you. arthel: airline travel is nearly back to pre-pandemic levels, but flight attendant unions say they are fed up with the rise in violent attacks by passengers. now they're calling on the faa and airlines to ramp up penalty for aggressive travelers. ♪ ♪

11:36 am
attendants. first of all, lynn, why are people acting like fools on airplanes? [laughter] >> that's a great question. i think it has to do with what i call the covid hangover. after a year of being locked down and quarantined and told to do things that are uncomfortable, wear a mask, people have just lost their sense of behavior on aircraft. arthel: so you think harsher penalties will get them to stop it. how so and what kind of penalties are you talking about? >> we've actually partnered with aviation executives and other union leaders and asked the federal government to fully prosecute. and the faa has responded by putting forth a special enforcement provision and have already actual fined up to $368,000 in civil penalties so far this year. arthel: hmm, and do you know what that averages out to just for individual penalties? like the average amount you might be fined? >> i'm sure it's based on the
11:37 am
egregiousness of the situation. every case is different can, but these cases are astounding. and flight attendants are having to deal with even more issues on a day-to-day basis. arthel: yeah. you wrote an open letter to the ceo of your company, southwest airlines, mr. gary kelly. why the open letter in did you try to schedule a one on one meeting with him first? >> i thought an open letter was the best way to not only bring to the attention of our ceo, gary kelly, but also for our members and for the public. i think awareness is really important for people to understand these issues are occurring onboard the aircraft, because it's going to take all of us to your it. arthel: give me an -- to cure it. give me an idea of what you said. >> i told him that the level of incidents was far too high. at the time there was about 2900 reported airlines and southwest airlines had approximately 477 incidents. these are recorded incidents, incidents that rise to a level
11:38 am
high enough to create flight attendants to write a regularity report. on a day-to-day basis, they're dealing with a lot of microaggression where people are touching them, pulling on their lanyards, just day the danish shoes that they're able to de escalate but it continues x it's something we have never seen. arthel: have you gotten any feedback from mr. kelly and what about colleagues at other airlines? what are they saying about your open letter? >> actually, this is an area where we've been able to join union leadership with airline executives, and we dud actually write a joint -- did actually write a joint let rear with other unions, and we petitioned them to -- the government -- to fully prosecute those who offend. arthel: so if you would, lynn, drive home the point for us as to how dangerous it is when passengers fight flight
11:39 am
attendants and even threaten to hijack the plane. there's nothing funny about this, this is deadly serious. tell us why. >> you know, it's very serious. flight attendants are the last line of defense and we're aviation's first responders. we are the first responders that are in charge of making sure that your flight arrives safely. and if sometimes the safety duties that we're performing you're not even aware of. you don't even see it because you're used to us smiling and maybe serving you a coke, but it's not appropriate to give you a drink and then be punched in the face. we have to have compliance and, remember, it's about safety onboard the aircraft. arthel: indeed it is, and you guys do a fine job. unfortunately, you're right, it is often times a thankless job. but we appreciate what you're doing up there, and i want you to stay safe and hopefully news fines can curtail some of this insanity. lynn montgomery, thank you very much. >> thank you. arthel: eric? eric: let's thank flight attendants. some of our viewers right now they're watching us, we're in
