president biden did not comment on the strikes as he and the first lady returned to the white house last night. this is the second time in the biden presidency he's order offed air strikes. the first back in february and it comes as the u.s. is considering rejoining the iran nuclear deal which would also mean a potential lifting of sanctions against iran. >> we'll say it's a good sign that they're willing to take strikes and note that iran is the problem. but until they have a good policy that says we have a plan to stop this around the whole area, i don't think they've done anything that's going to make a major difference. >> reporter: pentagon officials also say the f-15 and f-16 jets that carried out the strikes returned to their base without any issues. jillian, ashley. ashley: lauren, thanks so much. the number of deaths in the florida condo collapse nearly doubling over 24 hours. the remains of nine victims have now been recovered.

forensic expert had to say about this. >> if you do have some cracking, this allows the corrosive air and salt to get into the components. if you have enough deterioration of the reinforcing bars, it can lead to failure like we've seen. >> reporter: and the nearby town will begin inspecting the structural integrity of condos today. additionally, the city of miami is urging inspections for buildings that are over six stories tall and more than 40 years old as well, guys. jillian: that makes sense. i'm sure there are a lot of people there, charles, that are just so nervous each morning until they get their answers. i'm sure a lot of people want their buildings checked. i can understand how some might feel uncomfortable. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. ashley: here's florida governor

ron de santis on the bravery of emergency crews who have been on the scene and putting their lives in danger for days. >> when you having that's such a tragedy where you have a building that -- a condominium complex partially collapse in the middle of the night, these people were called upon the scene and they were on the scene within minutes and they didn't know whether the building was going to collapse further. they were able to shepherd a lot of people to safety. they were able to save a lot of people's lives. when you're in those really tragic situations, when people's lives are on the line, those people that wear the uniform, they put their lives on the line in order to protect us and so we need to support them and all their efforts. ashley: the rescue teams have faced difficult conditions including heavy rain over the weekend and fires underneath the rubble. jillian: one of the two suspects accused of killing an arkansas police officer faces

additional charges. local media reports seana cash is charged with reckless driving and driving with a suspended license. he was all right handed capital murder charges. two are being held without bond. at least three people are killed and 65 hurt after a violent weekend in chicago. overnight, a drive-by shooting hurt six people, this includes a 15-year-old. no arrests have been made. meanwhile, police are searching for a gunman captured in this shocking dashcam video. you can see him hop out of the vehicle and then open fire on traffic with a fully automatic rifle. luckily, no one was hurt. jillian: unbelievable. broad daylight. meanwhile, in philadelphia, three people were killed and nearly two dozen injured in shootings over the weekend. in a statement the mayor says, quote, one life lost to senseless violence is one too many and this weekend's tragic

now, moments ago we did talk about this. some people had complained about vibrations and cracks and things like that in their building. you said that your mother or grandmother had issues with that. can you explain that for us? >> of course. my mother complained about that over the years many times, not the vibrations, about the building because there would be water in the garage, there would be cracks and the pool deck, there would be just straight cracks around the building. she complained about mismanagement by the board often. her and several other owners. because whenever we would go to visit we would hear them talk, they would talk in the hallways, talk to each other and complain about the owner and complain about the mismanagement and where are the funds going, the monthly maintenance fees because they kept seeing the building not being in great condition. obviously, they didn't think the building was going do collapse

because she would never have stayed there. but they did complain often about where was the monthly maintenance fees going because they just kept seeing the condition of the building not be great. ashley: i'm so sorry to hear you say that. what now? what -- you how is your family staying together? i mean, how are you holding up well enough to come here and talk to us today? because i can't imagine the agony that you and a your family is going through, not knowing what happened to them. >> it's a struggle. my family, we are very close. we are still very close. we're extremely close, my mother and my grandmother, my brother's down here from washington, d.c. he is staying at my uncle's house. we're just really holding up for family right now and waiting. we don't have -- i mean, it sounds horrible but we don't have hope that we're going to be able to see them again. the minute we saw the video of the collapse, which makes me

want to close my eyes, that hope disappeared for us. they were in one of the top floors of that main tower that first fell and then the other building fell on it. so we're not very hopeful that we'll be able to see them or the hope we have is that we'll be able to get some kind of closure soon and that investigations go forward because this is america. this don't happen here. and somebody's got to be held responsible. ashley: as far as a timeline for when you guys will get some answer of some sort, have any leaders or anyone reached out and offered you any of that information? >> no. my understanding, they're providing some more of updates as the reunification center if you're there. what those updates are, i don't know. i have a 6-year-old. we're here at the house. we don't go to the he reunification center. surfside, with traffic in miami, it about an hour away, at a minimum, from where i'm at.

so it's very difficult to get down there and come back. it doesn't make logistical sense to sit around there, hoping to get an update. i joined dwitter last night to -- twitter last night to get more regular updates. so if it's not in the news, the family members that aren't at the reunification center aren't hearing about it shall. ashley: what do you want the world to know about your mom and grandma? >> they were great people. they loved life. they loved their family. this is a senseless tragedy that should have been prevented. there's no reason that the building should have been allowed to get to the condition that it was in before this fell. the complaints were there. which now just haunts me here. remembering every single complaint that they had, that i heard other people talking about, about mismanagement, about allowing the building to get into this condition and to me that's -- it's criminal that

they had let this happen and i hope that the investigations go forward and somebody's held responsible for this, because my mom and my grand matter are now gone forever because -- grandmother are now gone forever. ashley: pablo, again, we're so sorry that you're going through this and we hope that you get the closure you need and deserve with this. jillian: keep us updated and we'll be praying for your family. >> thank you. appreciate it. jillian: we'll be right back.

pierre lamont. thank you for being here. here's what the co-chief sponsor of the bill says. it reads from an economic standpoint this is common sense policy. right now, people who can't afford basic preventative care are relying on emergency services. it would contain costs and keep people healthy. peter, is this common sense policy? >> look, this is an insult to every american citizen to begin with, it's an insult to everyone who came to the united states legally. what the democrat party is doing right now, they're promoting chaos, law youlessness and rewarding people who come to the united states illegally. as a matter of fact, they're enticing them to come over here. oregon is not the only state that is providing benefits to illegals that is greater than those provided to american citizens. we have in-state tuition for students who are illegal in the united states. there are some cities that are having discussions as to whether

illegals should be allowed to vote in the united states. what is the point of being an american citizen any longer? what is the point of coming to the united states legally any longer? this is ridiculous, it's an insult to each of us who followed the law to come here in a proper way. jillian: so to that point, you came here legally and a it takes a lot of time to be able to do that, it takes a lot of effort to be able to come here legally and to one day become an american citizen and live out that american dream take everybody comes here for. so when you see stuff like this, i imagine it has to be frustrating to you personally. >> well, absolutely. i mean, right now the democrat party is trying to bring as many illegals to the united states as possible. they want to use it as a source of future votes because they're running out of voters in the united states and for someone to come to the united states legally right now the sponsor would have to file an affidavit of support which is a document, it's a contract between the individual who is coming to the united states legally and the american citizen to make sure

that they don't become public charge. if you and i were to violate the laws of the united states after due process we would receive punishment. but if you come to the united states illegally you are being rewarded by the democrat party. so again, i mean, what is the point of waiting for 10, 15 years in line to join a family member in the united states when you can cross the border illegally and be rewarded for that. jillian: are you surprised that this is the direction the country is going in? did you think you would see a day when this would happen? >> look, i never thought that i'm going to live in the united states 30 years later and see every failed liberal policy that was implemented in eastern europe coming to the united states. on the other hand, i'm not shocked or surprised because the democrats are promoting such policies. they want to create a permanent underclass in the united states. the democrats, if they see success and if people succeed based on liberty and freedom, the party becomes obsolete. so they need to create a class that is dependent on the

government and that's what they are doing right now with the illegals. the next thing we're going to hear i would say by the next election that they want to make sure that they pass laws to have illegals vote in the united states. jillian: okay. peter, as always, good to see you this morning. thank you for joining us. we really appreciate your insight. ave. .ashley: the house and human services secretary will see the crisis at the southern border later today, the visit comes days after the vice president, kamala harris, made the trip to el paso. texas governor greg abbott slamming the vp, tweeting, quote, harris didn't talk to texans whose homes have been invaded, who had guns against them, whose property has been designed by gangs and cartel members coming across the border, adding she doesn't care. republicans wanted her to visit the rio grande valley. the reported epicenter of the border crisis. and taxpayers could be on the hook for millions more to fund san francisco's homeless encampment program.

>> reporter: last night officials identified four more victims, leon, louis, anna ortez and christina rivera. many clinging on to any signs their loved ones may still be alive. one family tells local media it received 16 calls from a land line belonging to their grandparents who are among those unaccounted for. they say they didn't hear voices on the other end of the line, just static. here's what pablo rodriguez whose mother and grandmother are still missing had to say. >> we're really holding up for family right now and waiting -- it sound horrible. we don't have hope that we'll be able to see them again. the minute we saw the video of the collapse which is all i see when i close my eyes, that hope disappears for us. >> reporter: rescuers are still telling family members not to lose hope, telling them they're doing all they can to find any

the police movement by passing a bill. here to react to the measure is wisconsin state representative tony kurtz. thank you for being with us this morning. >> good morning, ashley, thank you for having me this morning. ashley: no problem. i want to read this really quickly. it says if any year a municipality decreases the amount of the municipal budget dedicated to hiring, training and retaining law enforcement officers the officer of administration shall reduce the municipality's payment by the amount of the decrease in the municipality's budget. explain this, how this is going to work with police departments. >> so basically the state of wisconsin provides payments to municipalities. and part of the payments that the municipality -- they use the funding for fire, ems and most importantly law enforcement. so what this bill would do, if signed by the governor, would the if the municipality decided

to decrease funding to the police, the state, we're going to decrease the funding as well, we're going to decrease the funding when you decrease funding the police. we'll take the funding to other municipalities that are funding their police as they should. ashley: as there been pushback from people who don't agree with this. it says all but a single democrat in the assembly opposed the measure. one called the bill cynical and laughable. >> of course. this is along party lines. unfortunately my colleagues on the left, they keep this narrative of defunding the police and somehow that's still going to make our community safe. if you look in our two largest cities, milwaukee and madison, their murder rates last week increased over 100%, the other was over 85%. all the talk of defunding the police has ramifications and we're already seeing that in our two largest cities. so this is a good -- go ahead,

i'm sorry. ashley: go ahead. keep going. >> i think this is the right time to set the bar to our municipalities that as a state we believe in our law enforcement. we do not want to defund our law enforcement. and if you do, there's going to be ramifications. ashley: on a scale of one to 10 of, what do you think the likelihood of the governor signing this bill is? >> unfortunately, probably like one. that's just -- i hate to say that but that's truly what i believe, he will probably veto this as he's -- he's basically siding with those who believe in defunding the police. ashley: even though you think this is going to get vetoed, do you think this sends a clear message that defunding the police is not what people want? there's got to be more to this. >> it's basically setting the bar to say we as the state of wisconsin legislature and particularly in those areas that

we represent, we believe in funding the police. we do not fundamentally believe these calls of defunding the police department and in some way that is going to make our community safer. we've already seen that in wisconsin, in our two largest communities. the talk of defunding the police has just the opposite. people are not respecting law enforcement. and it has ram phi case -- ram phi case in all our communities. ashley: tony, thank you so much for your take on this this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you, ashley. appreciate it. ashley: jillian. jillian: let's turn to fox weather and the record heat wave that janice was talking about last week in the pacific northwest halts olympic qualifying events as temperatures reach triple digits. ashley: severe storms leave significant flooding in the midwest and three tornadoes were confirmed outside of chicago on saturday. jillian: senior meteorologist janice dean here with our fox weather forecast. you warned us, you said all sorts of records were going to

a frontal boundary and along the frontal boundary we could see heavy rain and perhaps flash flooding. there's the forecast rainfall as we go through tuesday into wednesday, so several inches more rainfall across areas that are already saturated. so there's the forecast today. 93 in new york, 89 in atlanta. we're getting the summertime heat across much of the country but that big story is unprecedented shattering records all weekend across the northwest. jillian: even back home in missouri, my mom said the flooding there is outrageous. there's five homes on our street that are totally flooded. >> extreme weather today. you got it. jillian: keep it tuned in to janice all day. thank you, janice. >> you got it. jillian: it is 5:38 on the east coast. deal or no deal on infrastructure, what republicans are saying about the mixed signals they're getting from the white house and other top democrats.

comes to his desk. >> i'm glad they're now delinked. it's clear we can move forward with a bipartisan bill that's broadly popular, not just among members of congress but the american people. cheryl: senator barrasso says the president needs to do more to assure the gop that he's going to keep his word. bernie sanders tweeted in part, quote, no reconciliation bill, no deal. we need transformative change now. democrats are considering up to 6 trillion in new spending. senator manchin has his doubts saying he would support a stand alone $2 trillion infrastructure plan. ashley: let's talk about the booster for the delta variant, do people need it, do they not? cheryl: a lot of experts are signaling that that's going to probably happen. people who received the j&j shot may need a booster shot as the new delta variant spreads. the cdc is warning the delta

variant could become the dominant version of the virus here in the united states. a recent u.k. study found two doses of pfizer or astrazeneca over there does provide significantly more protection than just one. 12 million j&j shots have been administered in the united states. we should add, if you go through the efficacy of all the shots, the j&j is really the weakest. 66%. so this probably doesn't surprise a lot of people but it does mean there's more to do on the vaccine front. ashley: it appears as if people are racing back to the theaters. see what i did there? cheryl: i love it. yeah, post pandemic people are feeling a little fast and a little furious. >> cheryl: f-9 is the latest installment in the series, it brought in $70 million in its opening weekend, the highest gross we've seen for the box office weekend over the pandemic -- since the pandemic started.
