brian: they are telling me now it's summer and we can expect it to be hot. can't complain. steve: no, no. we are observing. we report. you decide. should you wear something light today? yes, it will be hot. if you live in portland, it was 357 trees yesterday. brian: if you are a wrestler this great time to lose weight by walking outside. ainsley: when you are trying to lose those last few pounds before you weigh in. brian: if you are a free tile tournament don't worry about it you will probably make weight. steve: the cover of the "new york post" today, you know, once upon a time here in times square known as the crossroads of the world. now they're referring to it as the crosshairs of the world. because the latest news some marine was just walking with his family over in times square got shot in the back. and so what does mayor de blasio say? he says he is going to start to flood the zone with cops. that is the same mayor de blasio who after a 4-year-old child a couple weeks ago said, you know what i'm going to do?

ville an extra measure of protection there was no extra measure of protection. it is now the crosshairs of the world here in new york city. brian: look at homicides up in big cities up 32%. talk about defunding the police. 20 major cities cut police budgets. 25 cities have removed police from schools. this over the last year. 840 million direct cuts on police departments let alone the 1.5 million that mayor de blasio has redirected out of his own police department, yeah, redirected while getting rid of the anticrime unit to be able to tip off maybe where crime was happening ahead of time and maybe you will find out that the two guys jamming dvds in your hand are armed and going to shoot each other because they are in some type of rivalry. that's how a 21-year-old marine got shot. ainsley: when you drive anywhere to new jersey or long island or drive in the city. traffic is so bad. it's worse now everyone is saying here before the pandemic. no one's to go to penn station because crime is so bad down in

our subways and that's where you catch the train to go out to long island. to go new jersey where wherever you are going if you are leaving the city. people want to avoid those areas. people want to avoid times square. a friend of mine, her daughter wanted to go times square for pictures after prom to get all of the back drop. parents were worried. we are going to go for 15 minutes get pictures and get out. crime has gone up so much in new york. we are seeing it in cities all over the country. cedric richmond was the one a few days ago said that about lindsey graham and said republicans want to defund. do you know why? because they know that message is bad for them. if you look at any poll, democrats, any poll, democrats and republicans will say they are not in favor of defunding the police. brian: it's like saying that donald trump is not for the wall. everybody knows democrats are the ones for this. and they also know how dumb it was for barack obama to joe biden to james clyburn saying what is happening to my party? ainsley: just because republicans didn't vote for the american rescue plan because

they didn't like a lot of what was in that bill. in that package. steve: when you look at the polls, brand new fox news opinion poll came out and seven out of 10 american voters think that crime is on the rise nationally. that does not help joe biden. joe biden would like to get reelected in a couple of years and, you know, so would the democrats. but they are now being blamed for this crime wave. so, over the last couple of weeks, they have started recalibrating the story. you know, the american rescue plan was being sold okay everybody gets 100 bucks and good for vaccinations and a lot of republicans were saying it's going to be a blue state bailout. there was no mention whatsoever that in there there is going to be $350 billion that localities can use, hour they want for their staff. ainsley: however they want. not necessarily for police. steve: no, probably not. now the white house seeing the trouble. they have re -- they changed the narrative where that money is to hire more cops like brian is

alonging out on the street. we don't see any cops at all. peter doocy, the white house correspondent asked the white house about that yesterday, and this is what jen psaki had to say. >> one of the advisers said this weekend cedric richmond he said republicans defunded the police by not support offing the american rescue plan but, how is it that that is an argument to be made when the president never mentioned needing money for police to stop a crime wave when he was selling the american rescue plan. >> well, the president did mention that the american rescue plan, the state and local funding, something that was supported by the president, a lot of democrats who supported and voted for the bill could help ensure local cops were kept on the beat in communities across the country. as you know, didn't receive a single republican vote that funding has been used to keep cops on the beat. steve: you know what? if the narrative had been in the american rescue flab is going to be a whole bunch of money where you are can actually keep more cops on the beat, i would imagine more republicans would have voted for it. ainsley: well, you have

minneapolis and portland, they were for defunding, oakland redirected $1 million, city council thought that was a great idea to redirect that for police spending. they have a 90% increase in crime now as a result. and the police chief there is furious about it. he is slamming this because the crime has gone up. listen. >> we find ourselves in a crisis. we find ourselves it from a weekend of violence where we have seen four homicides over a three-day period. but when city council members, the majority of them that voted, to defund this police department, that additional 17 million that was reduced from the police department's budget, will have an impact. we already have a tough time responding to the high number of calls that we get. this will make it tougher. it's easy to sit in a room and have a discussion about what public safety looks like.

it's much different when you come out into the community and meet on the ground with those families. brian: like 800,000 cops in this country. they have families. many cops are retired. you have to know what party is defunding and defaming and what isn't. and for you to come out and spin, jen psaki, yesterday and for cedric richmond with a straight face which he should get credit for, to say that it was republicans looking to defund is comical on its face. let's just look at this. remember i mentioned 20 major cities cut budgets. 25 cities removed police from schools, here are the cities that are done that los angeles, eric garcetti cut $150 million from the police department. what party is he from? okay a accurate. de blasio $1 billion. in milwaukee, philadelphia, baltimore, all cut money from the police departments. for austin texas, redirected $20 million, what do they have in common? democrat, democrat, democrat, democrat; cori bush said defund the police not a slogan it's a

mandate. democrat, what other proof do you need even though joe biden is too smart to say it. that's exactly what his party is doing. ainsley: i will tell you some proof rashida tlaib tweeted this out a while back no more police incarceration and militarization. it can't be reformed. ayanna pressley doubled down that save patrol to traffic stops we can't reform this with her tweet. joe biden in 2020 the reporter said do we agree that we can agree to redirect some of the funding? and he says yes, absolutely. james clyburn and cedric richmond who used to be a congressman now he is an adviser to president biden they blame progressives for defunding rhetoric for costing democrats house seats in these battle ground. brian: not the sentiment, the slogan. they are not saying we are for defund the police. although james clyburn said we have to get better people recruiting police. they are responding to the polls. no problem with the sentiment. steve: last week joe biden came out and said, do you know what? given everything that's going on, can you start using

350 billion of that covid money to hire police that were laid off and the defunding as brian detailed right there. here's the thing. have any of those cities done that yet? not that we know of. ainsley: it's all about messaging for them. because when they say that critical race theory is not really happening in our schools. we have some parents that show us the curriculum that play their zoom calls for us and woe hear that it's happening. then they say this is not really -- we don't want to defund the police, really? we saw bill de blasio redirect a billion dollars last year after everything that happened. and we saw crime spike up in new york. and we have seen it every other city. you just listed all theist cities that have done it it's on paper. brian: it's just maddening. i hope people -- i think the american people are too smart to actually buy that. meanwhile, the person who is running on law enforcement who lived his whole life pro-law enforcement formed the guardian angels to support the police is curtis. and even though eric adams 22

years on the police force, is he running to mayor. republican nomination. it's a long shot, but he certainly has the right message and the right mess may. listen to what he told sean last night. >> the big problem we have here is that we not only need more police and we need to refund the police, but there is an issue that affects police all over the country, sean, qualified immunity. it's being taken from them. these are the protection he is that we, the taxpayers, and all civil servants, elected judges it's been taken from police in city after city. that means they have got to go out and get a personal police malpractice insurance plan. how are they going to afford that? that's why they are being reactive and not proactive. steve: so, crosshairs of the world. it is sweeping the nation. of the white house is trying to figure out how to do it so what they are doing is they are changing the narrative. we didn't defund the police, we are actually refunding the police. britain brian what this means

for police reform? things have changed in a year as tim scott worked it out with cory booker. he has a little bit of a stronger of a hand now because the average american is seeing what life is like when cops are depleted and defamed. by the way, qualified immunity tim scott told us yesterday is off the table. so that's good news in police reform. ainsley: that is great news. these police officers were scared they were going to lose their house and everything they saved they were getting out of the business for that reason that was one of the many reasons. let's head down to florida and give you the latest on the condo collapse. we are learning names of 11 people confirmed dead in the condo will collapse. brian: this as crews search for any survivors or sign. steve: charles watson what the contractor found days before the collapse. the contractor was going to submit a bid. had to take some pictures of what was going on there and none of it was divoovmentd. >> yeah. that's right.

but before we get to that miami-dade officials released three new names of victims who were killed in that partial building collapse at can champlain towers south newest name added to the list 52-year-old marcus joseph gear war are a. 55-year-old frank e.coliman and 50-year-old michael david altman. at this hour 150 people still unaccounted for as crews work around the clock praying for a miracle as the chances pulling people out alive less likely. >> we have them coping with the news that they might not have their loved ones come out alive and still hope against hope that they will. they are learning that some of their loved ones will come out as body parts.

>> now, officials say a team of engineers are expected to arrive late this afternoon to thoroughly inspect the structural integrity of the scharf plain towers north and east. according to the report of a miami herald. he was working were champlain tower south two days before the collapse. he netted standing water underneath the building's pool. he also noticed cracked concrete and severe liquor roded rebar all issues raised in the 2018 inspection that raised concerns about major structural damage at champlain towers south. and, guys, we mentioned the sister tower champlain tower north yes, an engineer is expected to go and complete a thorough inspection of that building today. but we are also told there are no mandatory evacuations of that building and most people, most residents who live there are deciding to stay put. miami-dade officials say they will be out here sometime around

11:30 this morning to give the latest update on information for now we will send it back to you all in the studio. >> steve: all right, charles, thank you very much. "wall street journal" has a story this morning. apparently in april the president of the champlain towers association told the residents our building is in such bad repair we need to spend $15 million and we will assess, you know, all of the owners to fix the structural problem. they had to get the owners to agree to spend $15 million to fix their building. ainsley: that's a lot of money. steve: split amongst all those people a large assessment. people did know that something was amiss. ainsley: the tower that was fell built in 1981. of a year later the north tower were completed and those residents, the sister property, those residents have said some of them have expressed obviously too dangerous to go back. we don't want to live there anymore. they are given the option to evacuate. but, the building, there was a

structural engineer and world renown expert sent in to go make sure that that tower was safe and that the other, the east tour that was 13 years younger was safe. so they are going to do a more detailed inspection. but they did walk around and say there is no visible evidence of any major structural concern. brian: some neighboring buildings worried about the same thing. my building looks like that building. i wonder if that's the case. about 400 buildings massively examined right now until we find out exactly what happened. they do feel this thing fell from the bottom up. things went wrong on the bottom causing the top to fall. senator rick scott is going to expand on that at 6:40. he has spent about 8 years in crisis management which is a governor position there. so many natural disasters, now senator from florida. he certainly has the experience. meanwhile, let's talk about the pandemic. good news is we feel in our country it's in the rear view mirror. 60 to 70% of the country has been vaccinated. those who haven't maybe they

have had it already or choosing not to. their only it personal choice. feel fortunate. is there another major city looking to lock down again? it seems as though california, which has trailed the rest of the country. even when their numbers drop in opening up. want the good old days back again. ainsley: because of this new variant the one spreading throughout india the delta variant. some people are worried that it's going to be worse. it's supposed to be more contagious in los angeles county they are suggesting that you wear a mask now i object doors. brian: please. steve: two weeks ago that the governor gavin newsom lifted the statewide mask mandate. now l.a. county is going to make this recommendation. not going to be a mandate but a recommendation that people wear masks indoors. the worry about the delta variant, which they say is not as lethal but is very contagious, is that if a vaccinated person, you know, more and more people are getting

vaccinated. if if a vaccinated person contracts it, you know, catches it, they could be asymptomatic and then give it to somebody in their house who is not inoculated. and when you look at the numbers all of the hospitalizations and deaths have been of people who are not vaccinated. so that is the worry. but then you look at the science, and that's what ted cruz did when he put this tweet out. he said biden's cdc needs to follow the science. and end its mask mandate for vaccinated americans on airplanes and public transportation. currently the guidance is if you have had the shot, you don't have to wear it around other people. but, on airplanes, and public transportation, you still do. brian: this is the dumbest thing ever. we all thankfully in a position where we can make our own decision. don't want to get the shot you don't get the shot. can you go get it commercials now begging you to get it can you make your own decision. if you get the delta variant

it's on you. if you have it already and don't want to get it because you have natural immunity, it's on you. don't give us any more mandates. we are done with it we have made our decision as a country. we have seen the ads. we understand our options. doctor confess tell us whatever they want. experts can tell us whatever they want. ryan jobs is doing a legitimate investigation bad reactions from the vaccine. if people weren't so defensive they might be more open to it these governors and cities and president, governors and mayors, no longer do you have a say in what we do. that's over. that ship has sailed. steve: well, yesterday, jen psaki said she didn't see anything regarding the coronavirus as slowing down a big party on the fourth of july. brian: oh goody. she said we can have a party. ainsley: there are going to be kids in masks when they go back to school in the fall. brian: better not be. steve: governor murphy said you don't have to wear a mask statewide; however, if the individual school districts say

you have got to wear mask. you are going to have to wear mask. brian: patients make the decision. ainsley: coming up, the white house defend the olympic athlete who turned her back on the flag during the anthem. that story is next. brian: why wouldn't they? ♪ ♪ with voltaren arthritis pain gel my husband's got his moves back. an alternative to pain pills voltaren is the first full prescription strength gel for powerful arthritis pain relief... voltaren the joy of movement ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool? sorry? well, since you asked. it finds discounts and policy recommendations, so you only pay for what you need.

where you are going to talk about infrastructure. ainsley: you are waking up to a heavy metal song. steve: got the wrong channel on the radio. brian: i think so wuab on long island. steve: yesterday we told you about how over the weekend pacific northwest even though it was super hot they had olympic trials. the way it works is they play the national anthem just one time a day. and the one time that day on saturday, they played, it was when that woman right there, gwen berry is the hammer thrower was on the medal podium. she finished third. and they played the national anthem. and she felt like she was set up because essentially, she was put on probation for raising her fist during the panam games in peru in 2019. ainsley: she said it cost her 50,000 sponsorship deal. she said she was told the anthem was going to play before she walked out. when she got to the podium and they play it that's why it was set up. no we have a scheduled time.

we play it 20 minutes after the hour. steve: 5:20. she held that up t-shirt activist treaty and she put her hands on her hips. turned her back to the flag. people were outraged. she had people blasting her all over it trn social media. saying it was it offensive and she doesn't need to represent the u.s. brian: original sentiment around the country this is her quote i feel like it was a setup they and they did ton purpose. the anthem doesn't speak for me and it never has. my mission is bigger than sports. i'm here to represent those who died do you work systemic racism that's the important part. that's why i'm going. that's why you are going to represent the united states because we are a racist country and you are there to represent people that died because of systemic racism? unbelievable. and you would think the president of the united states knowing that the u.s. olympic team will be representing the red, white, and blue would be assaulted. not according to jen psaki.

>> does president biden think that it's appropriate behavior for someone who is supposed to represent team u.s.a. >> well, peter, i haven't spoken to the president specifically about this. but i know he is incredibly proud to be an american and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world. he would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments where we are, as a country, haven't lived up to our highest ideals. it means respecting the right of people granted to them in the constitution to peacefully protest. steve: we haven't lived up to our highest ideals. okay, senator tom cotton was on the channel last night in the 7:00 hour talking to jesse and had this observation about what needs to happen to this olympic athlete. >> i don't think it's too much when athletes are competing to wear the stars and stripes, to compete under the stars and stripes in the olympics for them to simply honor that flag and

our anthem on the medal stand. if ms. berry is so embarrassed by america, then there is no reason she needs to compete for our country. brian: exactly. >> she should be removed from olympic team. brian: dan crenshaw said and she tweeted again you are tall obsessed with me. dan crenshaw it will came in and said you shouldn't represent the country if you are doing that president biden feels the opposite. what a shocker. ainsley: you talk to anyone who came from an oppressed country very poor country or socialist country that are here in america, they will tell you how great our country is i was talking to a guy a few days ago his family, i believe he said they were in nigeria. his sister called and said i'm going to lose my house. i can't pay my bills. she secretary of defense can you please send me, all i need is $115. they are so poor in his country, he is such a target if he goes back, he can't go back and visit his family because he is worried

that someone would kill him to rob him because he is an american now. and he said please people that come from other countries appreciate what this land, what this opportunity is in new york for him. in america. we have so many people on all the time from cuba and from other countries look at what is happening on the border, they are trying to come here. brian: most of these athletes don't have any perspective. i imagine as hammer thrower endorsement deals aren't necessarily knocking at your door. now she is getting a name. i bet you she gets an endorsement deal out of this. i bet you it works for her career. steve: let's see what happens. these could the wokest olympics in history. ainsley: i don't support it at all. i don't support at that time all. i'm so pro-america. i love our anthem and our flag. but for people that are against it would be nice to have a conversation. what is it? how can we fix this problem? why don't you lo this country? steve: i got a feeling we will be hearing more from her in the come days because i'm sure she wants to get her side out and when she does we will bring it

current charges according to the sheriff's office. it loaded firearm. having concealed firearm in a vehicle. making criminal threats obstructing, delaying of a peace peace officer after the fact, how is this guy still out and free and why? >> this is a person with a record who under the california sanctuary policies is not to be transferred over to ice. so governor gavin newsom. of course should be asked about this why he thinks this is how his policy should operate. but, additionally, we have to start thinking about what this means for the biden administration. because under the trump administration to the cities. do? >> they always reject them. >> they usually would in most intenses. at least try. now, not only if you have a governor of a state that has a statewide policy you now have a

nationwide sanctuary policy. my guess is he still doesn't fit under the biden administration enforcement priorities. ainsley: it's crazy. >> they wouldn't issue a detainer. ainsley: care more about the criminal than the family this filipino family that he was attacking at gunpoint. this is what san francisco sanctuary policy is because you mentioned this employees may not use city resources to assist with ice detention or arrest asked about immigration status limit city services or benefits. release civil immigration detainer. how can you detain anyone. >> you really can't and california actually has another sanctuary type of billing that would prevent transfers from state prisons all together the groups that are pushing this. they claim to be doing so to protect public safety caucasian americans advancing justice.

the left's influence in the world of sports. ♪ ♪

brian brian you might have heard this story by now turning

back on the american flag during the national anthem. she said she was insulted, set up. she covered her head with a t-shirt that read activist athlete. the white house has her back. >> there are moments when we as a country haven't lived up to highest ideals. it means respecting the right of people to peacefully protest. brian: even as a national event. the new england patriots jake bequette joins us now. jake, how do you feel about her decision? >> well, brian, first and foremost, i love this country. and i was very blest to be able to play football for the university of arkansas and for the new england patriots. and standing there on the sideline before a game watching that flag wave and national anthem played always filled me with pride. i felt that way because i thought about the generations of warriors who fought and died to make this country free and to give we as athletes the opportunity to play a game that we loved.

that's part of the reason why after my nfl career i joined the army. and wearing that flag on my shoulder serving in iraq with the 101st airborne division was the greatest honor of my life. it to see athletes and even president biden blatantly disrespecting our flag and the great country that flag stands for. so if gwen berry wants to you know, if she hates this country so much. then she should quit the u.s. olympic team and go compete somewhere else. brian: what do you say to her because people looking now to play devil's advocate say you never had to deal with segregation. you never had to go to the back of the bus in the 160s or were a slave in the 1850s. what's your reaction to that? >> look, we are all americans, brian, a we are all heirs of our national history, warts and all. i'm proud to be an american. and what's always filled me with pride about the sports and

athletics is that are it is an institution that prizes meritocracy and team work and striving together towards a common goal. these are values that bring us together that unite us. they shouldn't divide us. i believe sports is something that should always unite us. brian: i want you to hear, this jalen rose, outstanding broadcaster. outstanding column and player in his own right said this about kevin love a white guy being added to team u.s.a. for the tokyo games. listen. >> kevin love is on the team because of tokenism. don't be scared to make an all-black team representing the united states of america. i'm disappointed by that. >> really because the team has been all black since 1996 kevin love the first white guy to be added. what do you think about this? >> i think rose's comments are a symptom of the toxic ideology that is affecting every american institution right now. it's that toxic wokism that's

even affecting sports which as i said earlier that ideology has no place in an institution that brings us together. you know, when you play sports, brian, when you are a member of a team, color doesn't matter. race doesn't matter. ethnicity, background, class doesn't matter. you are working together. okay. those are the values that make sports such a prized institution in this country and it makes me sick to see certain media outlets like espn not holding their on-air media personalities accountable. brian: i know. jake, he did apologize kind a. i feel like kevin love should make the team or not i'm entitled to my opinion. i'm apologizing to the game. because of the game made me -- i was raised by all-time grace so a half apology. jake, thanks for what you have done in both uniform football and the american. back in a moment.

interviews. steve: welcome to our broadcast hour two. ainsley: what's the weather there. steve: currently 81 degrees. going for a high of 85. see the clouds rainy this afternoon in the big easy. ainsley: thanks for waking up with us, america fond and for all you folks down there in that awesome city new orleans. brian: when people bring up defunding the police you think of one thing, the democratic party. and because for the longest time they say they basically they were irredeemable. defund the police. the police are the problem. we know about the horrific killing, derek chauvin has been convicted 2 years in prison because of his actions since george floyd. we don't need to go over that. spurred the destruction of so many major cities and almost no prosecution from all that destruction with the rise of black lives matter and antifa groups. the one thing that was pretty -- was a clarion call was the democrats believe you defund the police. some panicked and said it's the wrong message. but no one said it was the wrong sentiment. then, quickly, over the last 48 hours.

there has been a switch and we hope you don't fall for it. ainsley: that's because the polling shows that you, the american voter, you don't like this idea of defunding police. democrats know that you had james clyburn saying that and even the other guy yesterday who was saying this is the republicans that are doing this his name is cedric richmond. used to be a congressman and now an adviser to president biden. he said when they lost so many house seats, this was the reason and james clyburn doubled down on that. now they are blaming the republicans for it. steve: because seven in 10 voters think crime is on the rise nationally. in the cold open we heard about 21-year-old marine shot in the back in times square. do you know who shot him? according to the post this morning apparently this was two -- it was a shooting between two break dance crews. apparently one of the crews -- the break dance crews in times square they get paid by tips. and apparently it was over turf. and next thing you know that guy

right there, allegedly, shot the gun that wound up in the back of the marine. brian: ricocheted off a wall into his back. steve: some americans think crime is on the rise. there he goes he is going to be fine. a relative pulled the slug from underneath his skin. ainsley: he went to the citadel. steve: did he and graduated with honors. that is troubling to the white house. all the democrats are suddenly changing the narrative. we are not the party of defunding the police. we are refunding the police because in the american rescue plan of 1.9 billion -- trillion dollars which not one single republican voted for, there is $350 billion for localities and they can spent it on whatever they want. well, now, the democrats are saying we want to spend that money on the police. that came up yesterday with white house correspondent peter doocy when he was talking to jen

psaki. >> one of the advisers said this weekend cedric richmond he said republicans defunded the police by not supporting the american rescue plan. but, how is it that that is an argument to be made when the president never mentioned needing money for police to stop a crime wave when he was selling the american rescue plan. >> the president did mention that the american rescue plan, state and local funding, something that was supported by the president, a lot of democrats who supported and voted for the bill, could help ensure local cops were kept on the beat in communities across the country. as you know, didn't receive a single republican vote. that funding has been used to keep cops on the beat. brian: that's some fascinating spin. steve: exactly, brian. we remember, we talked a lot about it the democrats wanted to pass it and what people would get, people would get a $1,400 check. would pay for more vaccinations, and $350 billion of what republicans refer to as a blue state bailout. so that is why republicans didn't vote for it but fast forward to now, these troubling

polls where the democrats are under water on, the defund the police business it's like no, no, no, no. of that money was always there we night not have said it was to higher more police but you can use it that way. it's very creative in this situation where the democrats now find themselves. ainsley: rashida tlaib tweeted this tout no more policing and incarceration and militarization. can't be reformed. ayanna pressley she are doubled down from slave patrols to traffic stop we can't reform this joe biden in 2020 the reporter said do we agree that we can redirect some of the funding and biden said yes, absolutely. they don't -- they know the messaging is not sitting well with you, the voter. they know they could lose next year because of this message. brian: defund police. ainsley: immigration problem. who is saying this? it's the progressives saying it and they know it's a problem. it's going to be a problem for them at the voting boxes next year. they know that. so they are trying to changes the narrative and blame the

republicans. we are not stupid. brian: the problem is because crime took over and messaging didn't. when you do not feel safe, you don't want -- you look for police and then you say who took the police off the streets? it's democrats. and there is panic. barack obama came out and said defund the police is a dumb slogan. cori bush came back at him, remember, and said defund the police is not a slogan a mandate for keeping black people alive. eric garcetti a democrat i'm going to take $150 million out of the police budget praised by then senator kamala harris. new york mayor bill de blasio cut $1.5 billion out of the police budget, according to reports, he is a democrat. austin, texas, passed a bill to cut 20 million out of their police budget run by a democratic mayor who likes and berates you for vacation willing. milwaukee, seattle, philadelphia, baltimore, cut, cut, cut. all democratic mayors. please don't even pretend to absorb jen psaki's new line that it is republicans defunding the police. you are smarter than that.

steve: but, let's see if the mainstream media reports that way. i mean, fox news has been very good about reporting what was going on. regarding, now e and i have held this up in the first hour once upon a time crosshairs on the world. here in no, very latest stats are times square tourist mecca. would you feel safe knowing in times square forget about the marine shot in the back the other day, in new york city, rapes are up 41%. in this year, robberies are up 21%. and shootings are up 42% is that the kind of place you want to go visit on your vacation business leaders, high profile shooting one business leader said in times square is the worst possible signal for the restoration of tourism. ainsley: look at oakland, you

mentioned all these cities you have edges inned and democratic mayors and no. look at oakland. look at the crime. it is up 90%. the police chief says. they have redirected the city council redirected 18 million in police spending, and the chief says this -- there are already stretched too thin. this is not a good message. he said you are there and sitting in your warm chair on city council or you are there in washington and you are trying to tell us when we are out there on the streets how to run our city and you are taking money away from our democracy? listen to him. we find ourselves in a crisis. we find ourselves reeling from a weekend of violence where we have seen four homicides over a three-day period. when city council members, the majority of them that voted, to defund this police department, that additional 17 million that was reduced from the police department's budget with will have an impact. we already have a tough time

responding to the high number of calls that we get. this will make it tougher. it's easy to sit in a room and have a discussion about what public safety looks like. it's much different when you come out into the community and meet on the ground with those families. steve: yeah, exactly. and so regarding will times square, do you know what bill de blasio going to do after the shooting of the marine they are going to flood the zone. what they are going to do is add 50 more police officers just to times square this is what we also learned in defunding the police. some police officers are hamstrung by the rules that their administration is putting on them. it's harder for them to engage. it's harder for them to, you know, enforce the law. there are so many laws and so many localities now that they don't even bother enforcing because it might cause problems. brian: plus no cash bail. meanwhile, if you think crime in america is a big problem, you are absolutely right. do you know what are has to be

our border and chaos reining there every day. the border patrol is overwhelmed. they told everybody in the past the weather got hot, the number of people coming across illegally would slow. it has not slowed down. so bad was it the vice president because knowing that the former president is going there tomorrow, she went down there on friday, stayed for about 90 minutes. and left. she went to el paso. it makes no sense. but according to the homeland security secretary, mayorkas, he said it was my idea for her to go there. listen. , it was my recommendation to visit el paso, el paso is actually one of the busiest of the nine sectors across the southwest border. and it also provides the opportunity to see the full expanse of our work. not only the central processing center where we encounter migrants, bring them to shelter for transfer to health and human services, but we also were able to visit the port where we

propel lawful trade and travel through that port of entry. steve: is he falling on his sword taking the blame so many people said why is she going to a place that is not the epicenter. he dodged the question whether or not she would visit one of those migrant facilities like at fort bliss. she essentially landed at fort bliss the airport right next to fort bliss in el paso. at that particular facility, children are self-harming, they are having panic attacks and trying to escape. now, can you imagine if that story came out when donald trump was president of the united states? it would be in 75 point type on the front in every newspaper in america. brian: anderson cooper would have a pup tent outside fort bliss and they wouldn't have commercials. steve: that's right a town hall. yesterday secretary mayorkas said that's why we asked secretary basara to show up and tour that facility yesterday. that's what he did.

once again mayorkas said we inherited a system that was entirely dismantled and we had to rebuild it from scratch. brian: that is just a lie. steve: it was dismantled because it was not needed because the flow of migrants had stopped. ainsley: we are hearing about sexual assaults being on the rise and some of these border towns where a lot of these migrants are coming through. we have heard about that happening at some of these facilities. we have seen all the children that are dropped over the wall. or of the child with the teddy bear that was screaming please don't leave me. steve: now they are trying to hurt themselves in the facility. they are trying to escape. ainsley: they are having to watch some of these children 24/7 because many of them are threatening suicide or trying to commit suicide. and then there was recently the border patrol agent rescued the drowning child. brian: el paso is where they went because they believe the child separation policy attorney general -- this happened yesterday. saturday, rather. the attorney general, that is jeff sessions put that policy together in el paso. so she wanted to go the only

place that she got political traction as a senator on. that's why she went there. but they dismantled trump's system which was building a wall flooded more border patrol agents to the system had a remain in mexico policy. a third country policy. then they put in title 42 everyone has got to turn around and enable them to turn around they claim 650,000 people. they are getting rid of title 42. they are sending for the people that trump deported. they say we want you to go reapply again. in what world is that a good idea to go and track people to apply for additional asylum in a border region already overwhelmed with other illegals that we have nowhere to put them? we're calling for all those people to try again to go through central america, go in mexico and come forward. it's crazy. steve: she went to el paso last week as a photo op. and to get people off her back because some people were going, you know, you are the border

czar in charge of the root causes, you should go look at the border. she didn't do it for the last three months. eventually she had to fly out to california. what did she do? you know what? on the way, let's stop in el paso. that's what she did. ainsley: look at all these pictures. steve: she had a photo op. brian: she looks so uncomfortable. ainsley: not visiting the children and not visiting one of the facilities. steve: sean hannity is going to host a town hall greg abbott near the border tomorrow night right here on the fox news channel. do not miss it. it's going to be something to see. the former president, i'm sure, has a throat say. >> right now turning to that deadly condo collapse in florida. at least 1 people are dead. charles watson joins us live as the search effort continues for any survivors. charles? >> hey, good morning, steve, brian, and ainsley. i want to start with that new reporting from the miami herald. spoke to a pool contractor who says he was working in champlain tower south two days before that partial collapse. the contractor reportedly told

the miami herald that he noticed issues like standing water underneath the building's pool. he also reportedly said he noticed cracked concrete and severely corroded rebar all issues brought up in that 2018 inspection report that raised concerns about major structural damage at champlain towers south. now, overnight miami-dade officials released three new names of victims that were killed in that partial collapse. the newest names added to the list of 1 are 52-year-old march cass guara frank kleim an n and michael david altman. 150 people are still unaccounted for as crews work around the clock to pull victims from the rubble. we are going to take everything we have boxes get killing tally scanned. put it up on the website. it is what is.

the number one priority is to rescue people out of that rubble. number two is to support the families. we will get to that just know that is in the works and we will be 100 percent france parent. >> today a team of engineers are are to arrive to inspect the integrity. there were concerns at the north tower may be needed to be will evacuated. we are told those evacuations are voluntary at this time. and most of the residents who live in that building are deciding to stay put, guys? steve: all right. charles. thank you very much. did you notice in that live shot of the spray paint on the outside of each of the units that indicates see it right there? it indicates that they have gone through a number of times just to inspect and to look for bodies. and it's all clear in those units at this point. ainsley: jillian has more headlines for us. >> we are following a serious story here. get to this fox news alert.

one child is dead. and two others are hurt following a series of drive by shootings in a north carolina town. right now police are searching for the person responsible. eyewitnesses say the shooter opened fire from inside a white car before driving away. the children were all shot outside their home. police say the child who died was a 9-year-old girl. two boys, a 7 and 10-year-old are both in the hospital. to another fox news alert. a desperate search is underway for a tennessee 7 month old. officials just declaring amber alert for braylen hunter clark. authorities fear he is with his father who is wanted by memphis police for murder. braylen was last seen on sunday wearing a blue onesie. overnight, a wildfire rapidly intensifies in northern california. the lava fire first jumping a highway now threatening homes as well as a large cluster of marijuana greenhouses. evacuations are in effect for thousands of residents. lightning sparking the fire last

week. strong winds are causing the flames to grow. it is burning up nearly 5,000 acres. and how about this? a tiktoker's parking hack is certainly getting a lot of attention. in the video the user suggests we have all been parking wrong the entire time. the tiktoker says we should park along the line on the lieutenants instead of in the middle of the space. he says doing this allows each side to have ample space to get in and out of the car. comments as can you imagine very divided on this one whether or not it's a good idea. some people agree. others are very against it i don't know, i feel like in theory it makes sense but it's not going to happen. ainsley: one person messes it up messes it up. >> what happened to the person on the far left eventually you are going to be at a curb there is no room to get out. brian: as a nation, if weekend agree on this now as a country. jill. ainsley: park in the middle of the space? jillian: no one ever does and it

you. steve: the city of coshocton seeing another violent weekend with 17 people killed and 71 others shot. think about that 71 others shot. meanwhile, here in new york city, mayor bill de blasio is vowing to, quote, flood times square with an additional 50 cops as police search for the suspect in that shooting that left a 21-year-old marine with a bullet in his back as he walked through times square with his family after a baptism. let's bring in former new york city police lieutenant dr. darrin porcher. doctor, good morning to you. >> good morning to you, too, steve. steve: you know, seven in 10 voters think crime is on the rise nationally. >> you know, it's just so unfortunate that this rise is something that hasn't been stemmed and when we look at the germane component in this, this

is democratically elected mayors. we have mayors who specific to the democratic party that have been part of the problem and not part of the solution. the part of the solution is to be proactive to interdict the crime patterns. but when you become part of the problem. that's when you become reactive and you just sit back and you address it after the carnage exists. and that's where we saw which was reflective in over the weekend in chicago and in new york and times square recently when we had the marine that was shot. and as innocent bystander. a month ago, we had a shooting in times square where a toddler was shot, however, mayor de blasio did nothing. now, he is looking to introduce a level of 50 cops but the problem already is in existence. you need to be proactive and that's not what's happening. steve: you know, this comes at the same time as crime is surging and joe biden's crime numbers are under water, dr. porcher.

the white house has now started this new spin where they are saying hey, no republicans voted for the $1.9 trillion american rescue plan and there is a bunch of money in there to hire cops. of course, that's not how they sold it they said everybody is going to get a $1,400 check for vaccination for a blue state bailout. not one republican voted for that. but, nonetheless, they are spinning it that the republicans are the ones defunding the cops. but, dr. porcher, i don't remember any republicans talk like this as we watch this montage of democrats. >> yes. i support of the defund movement. because this is about the investment in our communities which have historically been divested. >> not only do we need to defund but we need to dismantle and start anew. >> why would you say use the word defund? this is the word that's coming from the street. >> look, the reality is we can't

rely upon the police to provide public safety. steve: okay. so, dr. porcher, a number of members of the squad plus lori lightfoot, the mayor of chicago there at the end, all calling to defund the police. had they marketed the american rescue plan, the white house, as we are going to give all this money to police to refund the police, i think some republicans probably would have voted for it. >> you are absolutely right. the defund the police was something that came from the sentiment of democrats. and so when i find the white house introducing republicans as being the people that are red lining the police, i just think it's more of a red herring than anything else. it was clear and when we saw the democrats lose in a lot of these down ballot elections as it related to defunding police. steve: all right, dr. darrin porcher joining us live from our nation's biggest town, new york city. sir, thank you very much. >> thank you, steve.

ainsley: california is taking action against states that they say discriminate against the lgbtq plus community florida, arkansas, montana and west virginia join the list of 17 total states that are banned from california's state funded travel after they passed laws that prohibit transgender athletes from competing in girls sports. here to react is hovis the rob smith is problematic podcast rob smith. hey, rob. >> hey, ainsley. how are you had? ainsley: good morning, doing well. i want to ask you as an openly gay male, how do you feel about this? >> first of all the vast majority of these anti-lgbtq laws have absolutely zero to do with the majority of guys and rest liens across the country.

this is all about the far left democrat sort of elm praise of this very far left radical transgender movement that, like i said, has nothing to do with the rights of guys and lesbians i know you want to be exclusive lgbtq i would say gace gay and lesbian americans. that's some of the laws that protesting. when they talk about gender affirming healthcare for transminors what they're really talking about sun checked and unproven pursuant blockers for young gender disfork kids and talking about taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgery for adults. this has absolutely zero to do with guys and rest liens. when you talk about the transgender in sports issue this is protecting the rights of women and girls to be able to compete in sports against other women and girls and not against biological men who kayleigh mcenany claim that they are

transgender, okay? so that's what we are talking about here like i said the far left has embraced radical gender ideology they need a new victim group. this has nothing to do with gays and lesbians and everything to too with the fact that california is failing and need to pretend they are doing something while they are failing. ainsley: the lawmaker who wrote this ban said it was to keep state workers safe and out of situations where they will be discriminated. do you feel safe traveling to any of these states. >> i live in florida. i love living in florida. i feel very safe as a gay man living florida like i said this is nothing but hyperbole. far left ideology by california democrats. this has absolutely zero to do with the lives and right of guys and lesbians across the country. ainsley: a lot of people would

argue they love everybody. transgender women the reason they don't want them to compete against biological women is because they don't think it's fair. what do you say? >> well, it's not fair. look at -- so there is a transgender athlete in connecticut her name is pepper. when competed as a male ranked 30400 american meng. as soon as transitioned broke women's records, okay, in sprinting in the 400-meter dash and everything like that. and that stuff happens a lot when we look at laurel hubbard who will be the first transgender weight lifting athlete to represent in the olympics this is somebody that wasn't really doing very well as a man but as soon as she transitioned to a female, she absolutely crushed women's records. this is completely ridiculous. this is all a rejection of biological reality and, again, i have to reiterate, ainsley, that this has absolutely nothing to do with guys and lesbians and everything to do with far left

radical transgender ideology. ainsley: rob smith, you are great. thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: you are welcome. families experienced bad reactions to covid-19 vaccines are able to voice their concerns thanks to senator ron johnson. he shares their stories live right after the break. ♪ you've been taking mental health meds, and your mind is finally in a better place. except now you have uncontrollable body movements

brian: here we go. former president donald trump will visit the border tomorrow with texas governor greg abbott. ainsley: this as migrant crossings continue surging despite all the extreme heat. steve: grady trimble from sister network fox business joins us live from texas. good morning. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. and this is one of the areas of the rio grande valley that has seen a huge influx of migrants, illegal drug trafficking and human trafficking as well,

lieutenant chris olivier was with the texas department of public safety you have seen it firsthand as part of operation lone star. >> since launched operation lone star in march current situation along the border with criminal activity and this is influx of migrants coming across and with the overwhelming that's taking off border patrol offline to process these migrants that are coming across. >> yeah, they are having to progress migrants coming in they are not able to control the border as much. that's where you come in. if you look at the numbers it's staggering as far as illegal drug trafficking depose. 600-pound of cocaine and methamphetamine. 140 firearms over $1 million tack. that doesn't include border patrol. >> that's correct. that's only involving operation lone star since march 4th rio grande sectors where we have been able to. >> tell me about the heat and

danger with the crossing. >> with the summer heat we will see unfortunately a lot more deaths with these migrants coming across especially making long journey to try to by pass the check point to get further inland. >> it's a terrible situation. you can see here the border construction of the wall stops. governor greg abbott has allocated $250 million to continue construction since federal funding was cut, guys. steve: grady, can you explain why they would build that section right there not connected to anything? >> the funding stopped. that's exactly the problem. brian: unbelievable. >> it literally just stopped and just behind our cameraman here can you see there are construction supplies and there is nobody to continue building the wall. so there is a huge gap here and there are gaps like this as far as the eye can see. brian: do you know what's amazing, too? we paid for it we paid for it already our country and now we are going to pay to either destroy it or store it. and please tell me how it doesn't make us safer to put that up?

grady, thanks so much. ainsley: completely defeats the purpose, right? you can walk right around that little section. steve: let's bring in wisconsin senator ron johnson member of the senate homeland security committee. senator, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning, guys. steve: hey, what did you make of kamala harris' trip to -- her photo op. last week in el paso? she was criticized by republicans for not being at the right spot. you say you were actually where she should have gone. >> they took her to a point in the where she wouldn't see the crisis so the press wouldn't report on the crisis. of course, that's what's been going on. brian, you are exactly right. i offered an amendment to force the administration to actually build the 250 miles of wall bought and paid for $2 billion. every democrat except joe manchin voted against that amendment. again, what they have gotten good at. they have gotten very efficient at processing and dispersing illegal immigrants across this country. they are taking credit for that fueling the crisis.

exacerbating the problem. brian: tens of thousands of those thrown out during the trump years were evaluated to not be worthy of admission here. they are being called back by the biden administration. we urge you to reapply to come here. under what school of thought is that a good idea? >> it's not a good idea. you simply can't understand what this administration is doing we literally are apprehended 6,000 people per day. that's a large caravan every day being processed others being returned. others dispersed. this crisis snoft going away. under everybody's radar because the press isn't covering it. ainsley: you held an event talking about the vaccine and you came under some fire for it because there are some people that have taken the vaccine and they have had adverse reactions to it. we have a another, a soundbite from that event. a mother she has a 12-year-old daughter. she volunteered to take the

pfizer vaccine during the clinical trials. and the child now is in a wheelchair. listen to this mother. [[inaudible]] ible. ainsley: in case you couldn't understand what she was says. her daughter has been to the er nine times. hospitalized three times for a total of three months. you can see her emotion. your reaction? >> first of all, everybody that we had at that event is pro-vaccine. three of them actually participated in the trials. the drug companies have largely abandoned them. but that was stephanie, her daughter is made. think of how she feels, she was given assurance this is

incredibly safe but her daughter has suffered severe neurological problems like the other four women as well. they have been suffering these problems for months. the c did. c and nih are ignoring them. the drug companies are ignoring. they all they wanted was to be scene and heard and believed so they can get treatment and cured and hopefully raise the issue so that others won't be similarly harmed. steve: yeah. joe biden is going to go wisconsin today to talk about infrastructure. you and the other republicans are for real infrastructure but the democrats are for the kind of infrastructure that is social infrastructure. aoc, i think, yesterday said yeah, we need bridges but we also need babysitters. >> well, what democrats want to do is create more long-term entitlements that can never be turned down. can never be reduced, that will completely mortgage our children's future. republicans are absolutely for building infrastructure. here's the deal that they have on the table right now.

re-purpose the $700 billion from the last $1.9 trillion air covid relief package isn't being spent 2022 to 202. $7 billion would be more than enough. have that passed literally in a couple days. they just reject it. brian: senator johnson, thanks so much. appreciate it? >> have a great day. brian: check in with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather cast. she is braving the elements. janice: it's going to be really warm. feel like 100 degrees in new york city. i will tell you we broke all time records across the northwest. let's take a look at it i think 116 in portland yesterday. yep. and 108 in seattle. all-time record highs. it's never happened before. it happened yesterday. and then, you know, we have got the heat advisories here in the northeast where it's going to feel well over 100 degrees and then those heat advisories, of course, for the northwest and interior northwest. along the coast temperatures are going to drop a little bit. it's still going to remain warm but not the record heat that we saw yesterday. past 24 hours, showers and

thunderstorms in the forecast across the central u.s. that could bring flash flooding and we keep you up to date. steve, brian, ainsley back to you. brian: thanks, janice. ainsley: i'm hoping we don't get rain on the 4th of july. i have been kind of watching. steve: can't rain on my parade. brian: it jake steinfeld will throw out the big pitch. that is the big story. first, he is going to be practicing on fox square next. ainsley: look at that t-shirt. don't quit. brian: he also is it. er♪ ♪ enjoying freshly squeezed orange juice. now no fruit is forbidden. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn? liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need. how much money can liberty mutual save you? one! two! three! four! five!

sure you've been to wild dunes before and you have to eat at poe's that has a good cheeseburger. brian: that's great i've had one in 1988 and it was great. how far off 95? like when you're heading down to florida, if you was in to go to charleston? ainsley: probably what's that drive about 30 minutes. steve: all right, listen, right now we're starting hour three of fox & friends and we're talking a little bit about the crime wave that is sweeping the nation , and you've seen the stats. seven in 10 americans feel that crime is on the rise nationally. it's interesting though, brand new fox news poll came out shows that most people in america have trust in law enforcement. 72% have a great deal or fair amount of trust and confidence in our police which is good; however 27% have not very much or none at all trust in the police, but when it comes to the police, we've heard so much

about them. we've heard over the last year or two, it's time to defund the police. you've seen those signs. now, the democrats are trying to say that it is the republican party that is out to defund the police, because they wouldn't vote for the american rescue plan of $1.9 trillion. that's the new spin, and yet it was democrats, not republicans, who said things like this. watch. >> yes, i support the defund movement because this is about the investment in our communities which have historically been divested. not only do we need to defund but we need to dismantle and start anew. why use the word defund? it's like this is the word that's coming from the street. >> defund the police does not mean abolish the police. it means a dramatic reduction in the number of police in our poor communities. >> i am for defunding the police. >> look the reality is, we

can't rely upon the police to provide public safety. brian: not only is that proof positive, we all know and remember who started defund the police. we all remember that it was the police that were vilified. you know what's changed over the last year? crime has soared in almost every category, 32% are rise in homicides in terms of overall lawlessness, 900% in places like seattle and portland, and people look around and go wait a second , while we're working on police reform this country has changed its attitude because it's no longer politics. it is i feel weird going to my house, now we have to go back to work, we're over run by crime, and no longer feel secure going outside my house or my kids going to schools. do you know that in 25 cities, they've moved to remove police from schools, 20 major cities have cut their police budget, and then in turn, you have people going really you don't want me here? take my badge, i'm done. so you have less police, dis

empowered police, demoralized police, and you have lawlessness in almost every major city, and then you look around, all finger s point to democrats, until two days ago when they came up with this brainstorm. why don't we just blame republicans and see how that goes. ainsley: if you ask border patrol agents or police chiefs they all say they are spread too thin. you takeaway more money they are spread thinner. you won't have cops protecting you if you call 911. they all want to retire anyway. we had one guy tell us he takes off his uniform when he's off work. he changes before he goes and gets in his car because he feels like it's too dangerous for him to walk around. dr. darren porcher, former nypd lieutenant reacting to this meanwhile keep in mind we had a shooting over the weekend a guy from the citadel was there in times square shot in the back, two groups of guys were -- steve: break dancers. ainsley: fighting over turf, and they fired their weapon.

a bullet ricochets and hits this guy in the back. this is darren porcher who used to be an nypd. listen up. >> police was something that came from the sentiment of democrats and so when i find the white house introducing republicans as being the people that are red lining the police, i just think it's more of a red herring than anything else. it was clear when we saw the democrats lose in a lot of these down battled elections as it related to defunding police. steve: just to show you how out of control the crime problem is right now, i was just watching news out of the west coast, and an nbc crew was interviewing top official in oakland, california, about crime, and what happened? an attempted armed robbery. the headline from the mercury news goes like this. we'll go ahead and put it up. oakland violence prevents prevention unhurt after attempt

ed robbery at gunpoint. tv crews guard, wards off suspects with own gun during the interview, so even while a tv crew at city hall is talking about crime, some brazen crook comes up with a gun and tries to rob them. you can't say that is a normal time in america. ainsley: it's so disheartening because we love this city so much, or at least, you know, new yorkers do, and when you see the crime going up -- steve: but do people feel safe in new york city? ainsley: it depends on certain pockets i do feel pretty safe but i am more cognizant when walking down the sidewalk. i take a lot of ubers, because i'm really worried about that. i don't take the subway anymore, because penn station if you want to get out to long island traffic is so bad right now because people are not taking the subway, because penn station we keep hearing about all of this crime. right? driving out to long island it takes you more time now.

brian: absolutely, took me three and a half hours when it should take 40 minutes, but i will bring up this. you have other people who are in denial. out in los angeles they are just messing with the data to make it seem worse and then you add alexandria ocasio-cortez come out and say oh, this is all hysteria keep it in perspective. that's what they want you to do. listen, that ship has sailed. for those people out there in denial about the crime wave, you are going to be talking to deaf ears, because nobody wants to hear it and the whole switch it's a republicans fault, listen i admit to you, the money that they printed in order to get $1.9 trillion into the pockets of americans, and into these democratic cities especially like new york, they are choosing what to do with that money, and nobody is putting it towards law enforcement, so if you think republicans voted against it they voted against it because the economy already had traction we just passed a $900 billion stimulus bill. we didn't need 1.9 trillion and

case in point, most of the money is still there. in fact, president trump, excuse me, president biden last week said i think you should really, part of his crime, solving the crime problem and talking and dealing with gun dealers and guns, he said you know that money i gave you? why don't you use some of that. really? so you admitted you gave everybody too much money? steve: and brian, remember when the white house was pitching the american rescue plan for $1.9 trillion, it was described as okay, there's going to be money in there for vaccine s and -- ainsley: child tax credit. steve: people are going to get a $1,400 check and there's what republicans referred to as the blue state bailout. $350 billion where these largely blue states can spend that any way they want. well now the blue state bail out has become blue state bail out regarding defund the cops because now they are saying well , all the democrats voted for it, but the republicans

voted against it, and so the republicans are the ones who were defunding the cops. that's the latest creative way they are trying to spin the fact they were saying hey let's not trust the cops let's not fund the cops and now, we need the cops. ainsley: republicans just didn't support a lot of what was in the american rescue package. there was $350 billion that could go to local governments, they could use that for however they wanted to use it didn't have to go to police. whose to say they were going to use that. exactly let's turn now to that deadly condo collapse down in florida. at least 11 people are dead, as crews comb through all of that rubble through any signs of survivors. charles watson joins us live from surfside, florida. what's the latest this morning charles. reporter: good morning, steve, brian and ainsley. overnight miami-dade officials released three new names of victims killed in that partial building collapse, the newest names to be added to the list of 11 are 52-year-old marcus joseph

guerera, frank climan, and 50-year-old michael david altman, at this hour, 150 people are still unaccounted for as cruise work around the clock to pull victims from the rubble and as the memorial grows right outside of the collapse site, families are hoping and praying for a miracle as the chances of pulling people out alive become less likely. >> we have been coping with the news that they might not have their loved ones come out alive, and so hope that they will. they're learning that some of their loved ones will come out as body parts. reporter: now, local officials tell us a team corps of engineers are expected to arrive late this afternoon to thorough ly inspect the structural integrity of the champlain towers north and east and according to a report from the miami harold a pool

contractor told the people he was working there two days before the partial collapse and the contractor reportedly said he noticed issues like standing water underneath the buildings pool. he also said he noticed cracked concrete and severely corroded rebar. all issues that were reported in that 2018 inspection that raised concerns about major structural damage at champlain towers south and guys, i mentioned the north tower, i mentioned the north tower engineers are expected to get there and thoroughly inspect it today, but we're told that evacuations are voluntary right now, and most of the residents who live there are deciding to stay put, but officials can't say for sure whether it is safe there. guys? steve: okay, charles thank you very much. i would want a 100% assurance. ainsley: me too and the north tower was built a year after the south tower by the same people. brian: right meanwhile 12 minutes after the top of the hour you heard about this story rarely do we talk

about the hammer throw in the u.s. olympic trial competition but we do when the bronze medal winner gwen ber ry decided to turn her back on the national anthem and said instead of this is why i did it, she talked about how dare they play the national anthem, she thought it was a setup. here is the quote and we'll build from here. i felt like it was a setup and they did it on purpose because she's had a problem with the national anthem in the past. the anthem doesn't speak for me. okay. it never has, my purpose in my mission is bigger than sports. i'm here to represent those who died due to systematic racism, that's the important part. that's why i'm going. so that's great. so she doesn't understand with going, maybe you have a responsibility to stand up and for the national anthem, should you medal, and if you're getting a bronze medal in the u.s. trials it's probably not likely you're favored to get a medal in the olympic games but the fact we went from kneeling which i still feel is unacceptable to now instead of kneeling, you're turning your back and putting something over your head?

how much worse can it get? ainsley: so peter doocy asked jen psaki about this , he asked so many good questions yesterday , but he asked her does the white house support her, listen to this. >> does president biden think that it's appropriate behavior for someone who is supposed to represent team usa? >> well, i haven't spoken to the president specifically about this , but i know he's incredibly proud to be an american, and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world. he would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing their moments where we are as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals and it means respecting the right of people, granted to them in the constitution to peacefully protest. steve: if america is so bad, why would she want to represent the united states of america which is on her jersey? ainsley: doesn't it make you sad though? i mean, my grandfather's fought in world war ii, and listen,

hats off to her for being so strong, and for being able to make it this far. brian: right, but i mean if you're going to make it this far and what you do in a post-game interview, you could do an interview and say this is how i feel, i'd love to correct these things about americal society. i'd love her to compare another country. tell me the other country you think you'd be happier in. ainsley: there wouldn't be one. this is the greatest country in the world and we're proud of the anthem and the flag. steve: as you can see , should put that t-shirt over her head that said activist athlete, and the reason she said she was setup was because she was put on probation for raising her fist during the pan-am games in peru in 2019. ainsley: i wish she wouldn't make it so political. i understand where she's coming from, she's come far, and she's worked really hard at that and she has every right as an american to not participate in that. it just makes me sad she wouldn't want to. steve: she's got freedom of speech. she can say whatever she wants, but the question is, is that the

appropriate venue, brian you had a great guest in the first hour. brian: yeah, jake beckett, a former patriot and he joined the military this is what he said about what he observed. >> standing there on the side line before a game, watching that flag wave, while the national anthem played, always filled me with pride and i felt that way because i thought about the generations of warriors who fought and died to make this country free, and it makes me very upset to see some athletes and even president biden blatantly disrespecting our flag and the great country that flag stands for so if gwen berry wants to, if she hates this country so much, then she should quit the u.s. olympic team and go compete somewhere else. ainsley: the u.s. olympic team. steve: we've heard that from a lot of people. ainsley: we have. brian: you could transfer to another country. you can get citizenship and compete in the next olympics.

find out a country that's better i'd like to hear about it. steve: all right i've got a feeling she's going to be speaking out more, coming up soon. brian: probably getting an apparel deal soon judging by everybody else. steve: you never know we'll keep you apprized of that 8:17 here in new york city and jillian joins us with news from virginia jillian: good morning so let's begin with a fox news alert, a virgin galactic firefighter is shot while on-the-job. portsmouth fire officials say emergency crews were dispatched for a report of wires down when a man opened fire. the firefighter is said to be in stable condition. another man was also shot. police took the suspected shooter into custody. his motives are not clear. >> a massive fire engulfs an apartment complex under construction then spreads to several homes in utah overnight. >> holy cow. wow. jillian: look at that video. officials say two people are missing. a firefighter is being treated at the hospital for exhaustion.

ainsley: despite an impeachment inquiry accusations of sexual harassment and multiple investigations into his handling of the nursing home crisis, and his book deal, embattled new york governor andrew cuomo is holding a campaign fundraiser tonight as he is eying a fourth term, with tickets going for $10,000 per person. let's bring in our own janice dean, she's been very outspoken a critic of governor cuomo, after losing her in-laws to covid-19 last year, along with new york post columnist carol markowicz to react. carol i read your article very well-written. janice do you think he's going to run again? >> i think he wants to. i think we're going to get more information this next month, as some of the investigations the attorney general is supposed to have more information on some of those investigations that

have been conducted into his behavior with the nursing homes and the me too stuff. ainsley: carol why did you write this article about his employee battlement, what he's facing under reported covid deaths, treatment of female staffers and him running holding this big expensive campaign event. >> it's good to be andrew cuomo with a very compliant press and its gotten to where he's been accused of so many different things on so many different levels and yet he's still sort of viewed as a hero of the pandemic by so many and i just want to, i think people need to know that this is a man who put covid positive patients into nursing homes, sexually harassed his staff, he had his staff work on a book, he gave favorites to his brother, on and on and on and i think that we need to recognize, let's bring back some of the language from the trump era, they are

absolutely responsible for everything that happened. ainsley: janice what do you know about this fundraiser called the "summer reception." >> not much, we don't know where it is in new york city, undisclosed location and we don't know the people that are attending. i want to know a list of the people that are going to be there and i'd really love to know where it's going to be. i think people have the right to peacefully protest this event. ainsley: so it's a secret eventual find out where the location is maybe an hour before? >> probably. ainsley: we know it's in new york right? >> it's quite telling he doesn't want anyone to know where it is right? because i think there's going to be disruption. ainsley: so carol, why, he's got a favorable 44% of new yorkers have a favorable opinion of him. how is that possible? >> i keep going back to this point but really when you have a media that's on your side , that's on your team, this is what happens. i think it was very few media outlets obviously fox among them reported actually realistically, on what was happening with cuomo

i remember some positive cuomo segments at the beginning where we all thought he was doing a good job and then realistically, , we realized he wasn't, so it was really the media's fault here. i think they really head people to believe he does a far better job than he does for much longer than anybody saw that was real. ainsley: janice where are we when it comes to impeachment? the fbi is investigating him, the brooklyn u.s. attorney's office. >> they are supposed to have a meeting to all of the people who are working on this impeachment, which i think is a sham. that's supposed to be happening tomorrow. i don't think impeachment is going to happen. the only thing we can hope for is a fair investigation. ainsley: what about the sexual harassment claims? >> i mean all of it needs to be investigated and hopefully we'll get answers from the a.g. in july. he needs to be held accountable and you know what? if he was a republican, i don't think he be in office right now. ainsley: carol what are you hear ing? >> yeah that's exactly i have to agree with janice i think the impeachment is a sham as well and i think that that he

would have been gone a long time ago on any of these number of scandals that he has going. again if the donors are okay with him sexually harassing women, and you know, just being deeply responsible during the pandemic introducing covid positive patients to nursing homes, they are going to say so with their dollars. ainsley: we always heard we believe the women from democrats why not here? >> not this guy. ainsley: also, his dad ran, he was elected for three terms and he lost the fourth term to governor pataki back in 1994. we'll see if cuomo runs and wins a fourth term. thank you, ladies. >> you're welcome. ainsley: thank you and you can read her article in the new york post. we did reach out to governor cuomo' office for a statement but we did not receive a response. it is 8:28. house republicans are set to hold their own hearing on covid-19 origins today but they aren't the only ones determined to find the truth.

jillian: good morning we're back with your headlines jamie lynn speers is addressing her sister britney's conservatorship. take a listen. >> like i can follow her lead and say what i felt i needed to say. maybe i didn't support her the way the public would like me to with a hashtag on a public platform but i can assure you i supported her long before there was a hashtag. >> it is unacceptable that any woman or human wanting to be controlled of their own destiny might not be allowed to live life as they wish. britney spears is asking a judge to con terminate the conservatorship claiming it is abuser. a snorkeler recounts his brush with death when he got up close and personal with a great white shark in northern california. >> it was like a mosquito bite

with a little bit of a push and i wrapped my legs around and then i could feel i was face to face with the shark. >> he was snorkeling looking for crabs when the shark surprised him and he swam back to shore, only then, noticing how much he was bleeding from the bite. he is expected to make a full recovery. wow. >> all right, not all heros wear capes. some wear neon vests and ride on the back of a garbage truck, the 5-year-old obsesses over trash day but recently he learned his favorite garbage plan was moving to a new route route to cushion the blow the garbage team gave the boy $ 20 to buy a new toy garbage truck. he's adorable. that's a look at your headlines love that story brian. brian: thank you very much, meanwhile determined to get to the bottom of the wuhan lab leak , we all are house republicans are holding their own hearing on covid origins today as dr. san francisco

sapphire is also on the hunt, discussing the pandemic, its origins and operation warp speed why it is so successful it's all part of a fox nation special panic attack playing politics with science. >> when you look at wuhan and that's where it all started and then you look at the wuhan lab and that's what they were doing it seemed pretty obvious to me, i called it a long time ago. brian: fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier joins us with more. congratulations on the special, was able to participate in it, i can't wait to see it. for the president, he says he was never off the wuhan trail. why does it seem like so many others were initially? >> well, brian, thank you. your part, by the way of the special in my opinion is the best part, come on. brian: don't let the president hear that. >> we've been talking about china for a year and a half, you and i, and fortunately, as we saw with the pandemic, everything had been politicized and the fact that people continued to dismiss that there's a possibility that the virus didn't emerge

naturally continues to tell you that this means, remains more political than anything and even this week, brian, you see the n ih deleted early sequences of the virus at the request of chinese researchers. i think it's great that the gop 's meeting today to discuss this , because i can tell you the into nhl nih, they have explaining to do. brian: don't you think this be one area which republicans and democrats can agree, especially when the facts are now leaning more towards a lab leak than anything else. you asked the former president about that and what it was like, knowing or sensing something went wrong in that lab and not being able to get traction. here is what he told you. >> the democrats fought it all the way. i don't know why, it doesn't make them look better or worse if it was wuhan or some place else, but they fought it. maybe because that's what i thought, if it was somebody else they would have let it go forward and we were right about this , and you know, it's late. it's very late.

brian: what do you think he means it's late? what is gone that we'll never get back? >> [laughter] well brian, i can tell you first of all i think it was right in the beginning yes the president and mike pompeo at the time, they were mentioning that it was possibility came from the wuhan lab, but they didn't stick with it when it had a lot of, when there was a lot of pushback because they had other things to work on so president trump had the defense secretary continue to look into it, but that wasn't a mainstream talking point. the president was focused on controlling the pandemic and doing what he could, but the democrats for some reason, because everything that trump was doing at the time were calling it xenophobic or racist or whatever else, this should not be partisan because this is a matter of national security, brian. there has to be an investigation into it. not because there's someone to blame, but because we need to make sure that this doesn't happen to us again, and if it did come from that lab, then we need to really make sure, as a

world, the globe, that we work together to make sure that these lab leaks do not result in such a crisis again. brian: yeah, because we're still dealing with variants we can't even put this thing in our rear view mirror, all part of your special, thank you so much i appreciate it congratulations on your book it's still available, panic attack now, streaming on fox nation, and fox nation is offering, by the way, veterans and military, a free year on the platform, go to fox nation.com to sign up for free. dr. sapphire thank you, now she has to do her other job which arguably is more important. meanwhile a group of professors declares proper english is racist. leo terrell says this just another attempt by the left to divide this country by race. hopefully, he has something more to say because we gave him five minutes. from prom dresses to workouts and new adventures you hope the more you give the less they'll miss. but even if your teen was vaccinated against meningitis in the past they may be missing vaccination for meningitis b.

that standardized english is racist. ainsley: one speaker said, "the repeated references to correct grammar and standard language reinforced master narratives as english, only as white and monolithism , mono lingualism, i can't speak and we're talking about language and a deficit view of multilingualism. " steve: let's see how hard the worsted are in my part. fox news contributor and former school teacher leo terrell joins us from the west coast. leo? what are they saying about black language? >> let me just be very clear because i find it insulting. they are asking or basically trying to present the idea that black english or let's call it what it is, ebonics, is ic taken away from the black community.

the black community don't want black english. it's improper, but these far left professors are somehow claiming that teaching proper english is racist and that we should embrace ebonics. poor english, improper english. in essence, steve, they are trying to claim that improper english is proper and i find that absolutely insulting and it calls for lower expectations of black kids. it's very racist in and of itself. ainsley: it's happening at other schools too, michigan state there's a professor there that says standard english is used to maintain racist assumptions about black language, also at indiana university of pennsylvania, an english professor there says she wants to undo whiteness in university students writing. your reaction? >> very simple, answerly. these are professors that speak proper english and yes they are trying to lower the expectation so they want black parents and children to embrace comments

like joe biden. you ain't black. you can not make it in a civilized society with improper english. i can not be on this program, people of all colors, if proper english is a form of communication, and what they're saying is you're taking that away, improper english, away from black children, and therefore, it's discriminatory. i can't say this clear enough. there is absolutely no systemic racism in this country. steve: well, leo, last week, we heard that math was racist. now we're hearing that english is racist, but when you think about it when people are talking about proper english, aren't they simply referring to how english is spoken in england? >> exactly, and here is the problem, steve. the problem is very simple that they, this is the time period where you consider critical race theory. when you consider these professors that have no information, no data. it's a conclusion that they are

making. show me the evidence where you're discriminating against black families and black children by teaching them proper english, show me the data. i'm an attorney. show me the facts. they don't have it. these are basically liberal professors in their office, coming up with these racist theories that black people are being held back by not teaching improper english. it doesn't make sense. brian: part of the reason you go to college you look to present yourself, you learn how to speak and hold yourself and do an interview and speak properly, lose accents so people don't judge you or get a regionalism. that's just part of growing up and maturing and making yourself more marketable. this should not be a conversation that we're having. >> it is because i'll tell you why and this is a point that people need to understand. the democratic party wants to keep black people thinking that they need help, and that they're being discriminated against and get this , the democratic

parties wants black voters to believe that by not allowing them to speak improperly, they are being discriminated. it's crazy. it's absolutely crazy, but that's what they are doing. you don't hear republicans talking that way. you don't hear them talking about that at all. steve: we just heard leo talking about lingualism, leo? thank you very much for joining us live today. >> [laughter] ainsley: thank you, leo. >> thank you. ainsley: we did reach out to tow son university for a statement and we didn't hear back from them. 8:47 on the east coast let's check in with senior meteorologist janice dean. >> it's feeling steamy out here in new york city, and the temperatures are going to feel like over 100 degrees let's take a look at the maps. it's feeling steamy across much of the country i will tell you, but the northeast that's where we have heat advisories in place and temperatures are going to feel well-above 100 degrees for new york, philadelphia up towards boston and there are your heat advisories not only today but tomorrow and then the northwest, we made headlines in places like seattle and

just a dumb cop i don't know how to do that but luckily for me through a mutual friend i was able to meet a my co-author and illustrate or and together during covid last year we put this book together, and you know , charles just told me will, how would you tell the story and i just talked like i do to the children and bring it down to their level and i want to share with people especially children to inspire them as i was inspired as a child and to understand that they are no different than me, they can go for their dreams, they are going to be faced with challenges, but to never give up, something that my parents and especially my mother told me, never give up and i want people to understand that i'm here today because i never gave up. steve: absolutely and you were born in the country of colombia, and your family moved here when you were two years old, and your dream was to be a police officer , and as a rookie cop, there you were on 9/11, you were escorting people out, and the building came down on you, you were trapped for 13 hours and you detail a part of that story, but you know what?

you've got a unique point of view, will, when we look at these images out of miami where that apartment building, that condo, collapsed on people and you know what it's like to be trapped alive. >> you know, the other day when i saw the television all i can say is that when i saw the pictures i actually got chills. i actually told my beautiful wife, i said i can't watch this , and all i can do is pray for the people there and still give hope, you know, i know that governor desantis, the mayor have talked about the rescue teams who are out there, trying to help people and i hope that they do find people down in voids just like they found me and my sergeant. the human spirit is something strong and that's what this book comes across as no matter what challenges are set before us, you keep fighting, you'll find a way to get over it, and that's something i hope that a lot of families find down in miami. steve: absolutely and you hope to give hope to young people like yourself who would follow their dreams to be a cop, even though real quick, will, it's

tough to be a cop today. >> well i'll tell you what. to your statement is absolutely true, i want to give a shout out to all of the men and women in blue who are out there, we love you and we support you but most importantly have a lot of young people still coming up to me today telling me they want to be police officers. steve: very good. check out the book. immigrant, american, survivor, a little boy who grew up to be all three, now out. will, thank you very much. god bless you. >> thank you, god bless america steve: indeed. we'll be right back.
