>> on this fourth of july, or fifth, i love this country. i think of my parents who cake from this country from poland and czechoslovakia under very different circumstances. i salute and thank them for coming here. >> on this fourth of july holiday observed, i align myself with jim clyburn who doesn't say america may be a great country one day, he says america is a great country. i believe america is a great country, and it is really should be the goal of all of us to expand the dream and the opportunity to all americans. >> that does it for us this morning. yasmin vossoughian picks up the coverage right now. good morning, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian in for

steph ruhle. we have a lot going on this morning. rescuers are digging through what is leaves of the collapsed condo after the remnants still standing were brought down in a controlled demolition last night. the reason for taking it down is to make this situation safer for rescue crews, but also to do heal of tropical storm elsa. meanwhile, experts across the globe are desperately try to go combat what is now believed to be the biggest ransomware attack ever. thousands of businesses have been hit, blaming a criminal gang out of the russia. millions of americans hold parties to celebrate independence day, and for a lot of people, the end of the pandemic. i want to bring in alison barber. sam brock is tracking the storm from key west, and jenessa webb

is joining me as well. we spoke yesterday about the demolition of the building. we know around 10:00 p.m. last night, that took place. talk us through what is ahead? >> reporter: it came down at 10:30 last night on the dot. it was brought to the ground with the process now as energetic fehling. . they placed small detonation devices and then relied on gravity to bring the building down in the footprint. officials said this was necessary for two key reasons. one, they want they needed to take down what is a structurally unsafe building in a controlled manner, not only so the rescuers can do tear work safe by, but

also in preparation of tropical storm elsa. instead of fireworks they heard the booms of explosion, and then this wave of dust that covered nearby streets almost like the first layer of snow. rescuers, they went back in, about 15 to 20 minutes after the building was taken down, a line of them left a bus, wait where they had been staging. they went back out as soon as they could, 15 to 20 minutes after this demolition took place. there was no joy here when that building came down. this was a sad moment. officials say this demolition was necessary, but necessary rarely means easy. there are 24 people who have lost their lives in this collapse, 121 people still missing, many of their family

members praying for a vehicle. their homes, final memories, family photos they will not be able to retrieve. yasmin? >> gosh, that community is dealing with so much now. sam, i want to bring you into the conversation as we're talking about tropical storm elsa barreling toward the state of florida, one of the reasons why that building had to come down. you're in key west, which has been hammered by hurricanes in the past. talk to me about how the community there is prepping? >> reporter: good morning, yasmin. we're starting to feel some of the changes and conditions. the wind is picking up, darkening skies, cloud cover rolling in, but right now all is calm. not only the concern of rainfall, once elsa barrels its way through cuba, just over my shoulder then comes through the keys, taking it to the southwest

portions of florida. the biggest concern are holiday travelers, the tense of thousands who came down to enjoy the july 4th weekend. walking down duval street, which is their version of bourbon street. restaurants were lively, folks were sightseeing, and this was within 24 hours of a tropical storm arriving. what officials do not want to see is anyone trying to get back home as conditions are deteriorating later today, whether that's on the highways, which do get gridlocked, but also trying to fly out. the airport tells us once wind gusts reached 35 miles an hour or higher, they consider shutting down flights. all the folks who are down here expecting to fly out today may need to buckle down until wednesday. it's a local state of emergency in key west. it's notable that governor desantis declared a state of

emergency in 15 counties across the state monroe county is one of those as well right here, so we are trying to figure out what shape this storm is going to take once it interacts with coupa and heads toward us in the keys, how many of that will still be intact. that's the big question. yasmin? >> jenessa, answer some of those questions that sam talked about. he talked a bit about the track we're expecting at this point from elsa, but how much of a punch to this tropical storm going to pack at this point. >> it really depends as it makes its way across cuba.

you're sewer -- so it continue to say really gain some strength we are going to be dealing with major flooding, already seeing some flooding coming in. that torrential rain continues to come down. there's that neff movement, so what's going to happen is we'll have two landfalls. >> the problem is i want to slow this down. tuesday, that's when we'll see some intensification, because it goes back into some good hardy water that's very warm. we'll be watching that pretty closely. we'll continue to watch the track wednesday 2:00 a.m., then the potential landfall overnight

into thursday. this is a long go of things, but what we need to focus on, even though you see the uncertainty of this track, even the eastern portions of florida, will have impacts for potential severe -- severe weather. these are low-lying areas. we'll continue to talk about elsa going into your thursday and friday as it goes through the carolinas and parts of west virginia. alerts have been stretched out. we are still under a hurricane warning in that area for central cuba, and then tropical storm watches have been posed from tampa all the way into fort myers. look at those winds whipping across cuba. that's what we'll be seeing even

for a large chunk of eastern florida. i do want to look at this forecast. it will be widespread flooding, even though the intensity of this system is at a tropical storm the intensity doesn't matter. the flooding will be widespread across the coast all the way into jacksonville. yasmin? >> not something that south florida needs right now. ellison, sam, guys, stay safe. jenessa webb, thank you as well. mayor burkett, thank you for joining us. good to talk with you once again. you just heard the forecast. obviously our own sam brock is just south of of you in key west. talk to us about your concerns. >> i'm more concerned than was

two days ago. it seems it's going far to our west. i'm hopeful that we'll have -- our to bring out all those family members that can be reunited with their families. how are you safeguarding the area? >> you know, you walked the street this morning, i was on the roof of the collapsed building that came down last night, taking pictures of the structure. you know, we're going to do a deep dive on -- things just don't fall down like that. something is very, very wrong. before we do that, we're going to pull everybody out of the rubble for those families who are desperately waiting. >> mayor, talk to me what it was like to see that building come

down. there are times when you see a demolition like this one, because it's a joyous moment because something new will be erected. this was not one of those times. what was it like for you and members of your community to watch it come down. >> you're right, the whole thing is a tragedy. we had families that had their lives' possessions in that building. they have lost everything. they lost everything when they walked out and just lost everything again when the building came down in pieces. i met with debbie wasserman schultz and the surviving families, they were very, very upset but they had understood the depth and gravity of this situation and how bringing this building down helps you to clear the way to jump on the pile

100%. we were restricted to about two thirds of the pile because of the looming danger that building presented. i'm glad it's down. the governor and i greed it should come down right away. the mayor of dade county had been given information that it would be three weeks. we reached out and urged her to go quicker. she found the answers we needed to get to get that building down as soon as it was brought down. now we are 100% focused on bringing out the surviving victims of this collapse. >> are we still in the rescue phase of this operation almost two weeks in? >> we will be in the rescue phase until we bring everyonous, as far as i'm concerned. i keep reciting there bbc study

that looked at survivability in rubble. in bangladesh they brought out a lady crying after 17 days. we're not near that. in my opinion, there should be no talk about rescue. that is 100% service focus on everyone. the heavy equipment is working, the teams are up on the pile, they are digging, searching. the dogs are out there. we're very hopeful and expecting a miracle. >> i think the whole country is expecting a miracle, hoping and praying for a miracle there. talk about the buildings in the surrounding areas. as we focused on champlain towers, there's a lot of folks concerned for their own safety in some of these high rises. is there any concern that the collapse caused any weaknesses in surrounding buildings?

>> not so much that's correct but there are questions, we cannot tell you why this building fell down. i'm a real estate guy. i can tell you, as far as i'm concerned you could go for 60 years, dot do an inch of maintenance and not have this buildings fall down the way it did. there's something very wrong here, and we'll get to the bottom of it. but that's not going to be today, tomorrow or not anytime in the indefinite future. what we're going to do is pull everybody out of the rubble. there would be plenty the time to figure out what went wrong. >> mayor burkett, thank you, and thank you for the work you've been doing the last couple weeks. your community appreciates it. up next, back be the largest ransomware attack.

million in bitcoin, coming after the russian group that took down jbs, took down a software manager, cassia, and rippled -- kaseya, and take a los angeles to this i. >> the initial thinking is it was the russian government, but we're not certain yet. >> let's bring in kellie o'donnell. good morning, my friend. great to see you. happy belated fourth. what a fourth it was, considering this major ransomware attack, it hit everything from schools, travel, accountants, less than a month since the president's summit, where he actually specifically

addressed these types of attacks with the russian president. what is the white house going to do about this? >> reporter: good to be with you on this bonus holiday. it may not be coincident that it occurred with a federal holiday and a time where there's one school of thought where those who are perpetrating ransomware attacks loose for things where fewer people will have their eyes on systems. this extended weekend may be part of the intention. what the president was asked about when he was traveling for holiday-related things was what happens next. he laid down markers in geneva about these kinds of issues. the presumption that many have, that what happens by russian entities is known to the russian government, and within the power of vladimir putin. is that the case?

that's one of the questions they need to try to resolve. because this is a different kind of company, or others kinds of companies that have been hit like this the white house has been saying for those entities that might be affected, to follow the steps that kaseya is putting forward to report their actions. they have the fbi involved, as well as the group that deals with infrastructure and cybersecurity for the federal government. the president said he asked his intelligence people to give him an updated report, which we believe could have been given to him in his briefing yesterday or perhaps today, and maybe we'll learn more after that. he has said publicly he has told vladimir putin if the russian government is responsible, the u.s. would respond and retaliate in some fashion, though that

might not be known to us publicly, but we have seen how this threat can be crippling to key infrastructure as well as businesses and people's proprietary information. so it's a big concern for the white house. how quickly we'll learn more remains a question mark. yasmin? >> a lot of questions there, to say the least and the timing of when we'll now what took place to find some alleges. kelly o'donnell on this bonus holiday, as you put it. great to see you. >> meanwhile, this morning, pope francis is alert and breathing, the vatican say the pope reacted well to the surgery that lasted about three hours. pope francis will remain in the hospital for about a week and is expected to make a full recovery. all right. some covid restrictions are being lifted today as pressure grow to say reopen the u.s./canada border.

welcome back, everybody. america is coming back together.

that is the president's message this july 4th holiday weekend, as more than 157 million americans are now fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. while the country came close to the president's 70% inoculation goal, the battle against covid is not over. >> don't get me wrong. covid-19 has not been vanquished. we know powerful variants have emerged like the delta variant, but the best defense against these variants is to get vaccinated. >> best defense, to get vaccinated. shannon pettypiece joining us from the white house. zach brewster is at the

ambassador bridge. also dr. natalie azar, and dr. mercedes karnatha. welcome to you all. i appreciate you joining me today. shannon, i want to start with you on this one. you're reporting that the white house celebrated last night, but already looking into the next pandemic challenges. quote, it's going to take biden at month to meet its goal and the white house is already looking ahead and recalibrating expectations. what does this look like for them? >> even once they get to the 70% goal, they see a lot of issues out there, particularly in the regional variations and these pockets in a number of areas. you see not only states that have wide variations in their vaccination rates, but even within states, even within small geographic regions, for example,

michigan where the president was at. in the city of detroit about 40% are partially vaccinated, where an hour away in oakland county, you have 70% vaccinated. they're focused on trying to get the message to younger people. the vaccination rates are still much, much lower in the under-30 population, and the people who recently became eligible. don't expect to see any big new roll-outs, any new levers to pull. it seems they're on more of the same, more information, making vaccines more accessible, and just try and slowly chip away at this remaining group out there. >> shaq, as we're seeing the company reopen, we're seeing borders reopen.

we see you at the u.s./canada border, which has been closed for 16 months. incredible to think about that. talk us through what that looks like today. >> reporter: well, starting tonight, canadians returning from the united states will no longer be required to undergo the two-week quarantine period. while that's welcome news for some, that's still not enough for many who want to see the restrictions come down more quickly. that's because of impact of this border closure. there's estimates that show $1.5 billion are lost every month this border is closed. when you look at the vaccination rates in both countries, you have about two tlirds of the citizens having at least one dose, so you're hearing pressure come from big owners saying they want their business to say come back. they know how to operate in this pandemic world. you hear from people who have

loved ones. you see it's just a bridge connecting the two sides. you also hear from people who want to go and tour, want to visit the other country. there are people who, for example, are american, but have property over in canada. we spoke to one of those people. listen to what he told us. >> i don't understand why canadians can travel to fran or spain, enjoy a holiday together, but can't rejoin our see our properties and see our neighbors we've known for multiple generations. >> you're als hearing a lot of pressure from members of congress on both sides of the aisle asking the biden administration to put more pressure on the canadian government to reopen the border more quickly. you did hear from the canadian prime minister justin trudeau this weekend, calling this step significant, but saying he's going to use this as a guide to see how quickly or what other

steps they'll take in the future. the signal is we are not weeks away from this border fully reopening, it still seems like it will be time. they want to take it slowly, and a little more meticulously. >> dr. azar, dr. karnathan, this is a celebratory time, after being so long being locked down. dr. azar, talk to us about the goal here, right? we're now at 67% of at least one dose in the arm. should we still be cautious? especially with these new variants out there? >> i think we can do both at the same time. c certainly look bac you know, appreciate all the accomplishments, you

you know, that really speaks to, again, the effort by the biden warp speed got our vaccines to the finish line, but i don't think we can -- the goal of the virus is opportunist, and the way it does that is become more efficient at transmission, and the only way it does that is by continues to mutate. the only way it mutate is if it's able to replicate. if we start poking holes in a water balloon, the water will go where the hole is. so we'll see the regional variation in cases, and unfortunately the mortgage damageous the virus is, the higher percentage of immunity we need to reach as a nation. so 60% of the country's fully

vaccinated, that's still pretty far from where we need to be. i think scott gottlieb set you'll be immune to this, either by vaccination or by infection, so you really should choose vaccination. >> you have 14 states that have less than 40% of their population fully vaccinated. dr. fauci spoke with chuck todd over the weekend how there may be two americas, the vaccinated and low vaccinated. let's listen to him. >> we're going to see -- i've said almost two types of american, you know, those regions of american that are highly vaccinated and low level of dynamics, in some places, where the level of vaccination is loupe and the level of virus

dissemination is high. that's where you'll see the spikes. >> how worried, doctor, should folks be about there, especially in the vulnerable states with low vaccination rates. >> you bring up a really good point. i re-emphasize something that was said early on, disease anywhere is disease everybody where. we travel regularly to and from those states. you know, the concern is there are individuals within those states who are vaccinated, but it's flying through the groups who aren't. there are some individuals who are vaccinated for whom the vaccine may not be's effective. so those individuals in those areas who are unwilling or unable to vax nate are threatening the health of everyone. where i see the most hope is that the kaiser family foundation did a survey, and 12%

reported being in the wait-and-see category. i think there's the potential to make some impact in that way-and-see category, but we have to impress the urgency to those individuals that this is not the time to wait and see. we're on a precipice, the summer months the transmission may be lower, because more people are outside, but by the time we enter the fall, we can't continue to have this widespread infection, because it's going to threaten return to schools. it's going to threaten our economy further if we aren't able to continue our opening. >> that is such a good point, dr. carnethon. i hear that so often, i want to wait and see how it's reacting before i choose to get this vaccination. the problem is that it needs to happen now, as you talked about,

especially because of the this very dangerous delta variant which dr. fauci says 99.2% of covid deaths right now in june were among the unvaccinated. >> yeah, it surprises me that statistic alone doesn't terrify people. unfortunately, you know, one of the largest groups that are unvaccinated are those 18 to 49 years olds, so the population felt themselves to be at the lowest risk, but those are the unvaccinated and their health is going to be threatened. there's no mo time for a wait-and-see. part of the challenges, we don't highlight what's not happening, what is not happening is the exponentially growth that we say last fall and winter. we need to emphasize that to get people vaccinated. >> shannon, shaq, doctors, thank you very much. happy belated fourth.

is more than any one person. >> let's bring in garrett haake. first of all, any reaction to clyburn saying i don't necessarily want to see a former president testify, but if that's what it takes, that's what we've got to do. and also any names that mccarthy might be suggesting to pelosi for the commission? >> reporter: on clyburn's point, i think there's a real possibility president trump could be called, but i think it's a small one. in part, the democrats know that the president won't just see a subpoena and decide to show up and chat. they could be in for a profractured fight, like the one to get don mcgahn to sit down and have a deposition about the mueller report. that started back in 2018. you also hear congressman

clyburn, they know that democrats are not always in control, and you can pick your issue. maybe a future rep congress could say, we want president biden brought down here to talk about hunter biden's laptop. as for the republicans, they probably have until the end of this weeks if they want to do so for appointing members of to this economiee. what you'll see are probably allies of leadership. there's been reporting among some names, you look at the democratic side of the roster here. you have committee chairs, former impeachment managers,

members of leadership, and i think kevin mccarthy will want to balance the republican side of the aisle with members of their own that could bring gravitas, but also reliable figures here that he knows he can count on. the one rep on the list so far, his cheney is, the farthest from the party line, so with the five seeds, he needs loyalists there. >> garrett, what could be the reaction from pelosi if in fact mccarthy says, i want elise stefanik? >> reporter: i think nancy pelosi would be fine with that. and others like a marjorie taylor greene or matt gaetz, i thinksh but i don't think he would pick them anyway. he's going to want people, you know, who can be an extension of

what he wants to see get done. the only reason i don't think he would pick steve scalise, his number two, he's already on a select committee, so i think you'll see people closely aligned. i don't see speaker pelosi really objecting to many potential choices that mccarthy could make. >> garrett haake, thanks. tens of millions heading home today after the fourth of july celebrations. everything you need to know before you get on the road, get on a plane, however you're traveling. we'll be right back. l be right . ♪that you laughed about♪ ♪well, the names have all changed♪ ♪since you hung around♪ welcome back, america. it sure is good to see you. welcome back, america. this is cynthia suarez, cfo of go-go foodco., an online food delivery service. business was steady, until...

what are you seeing so far this morning as folks prepare to return home? >> reporter: good morning. nd everything is crowded. the expectation was 48 million people were going to travel on this holiday weekend. you mentioned tsa registered closegi to 2 million passengers friday the highest since the beginning of thehe pandemic and gas buddy reporting friday was thes highest single day demand for gasoline since 2019, this despite gas prices being almost $1 more expensive than a year ago and california there was gas stations that charged $5 for a gallon. one of the things that experts are saying is that people that stay in hotels are not going to have the same experience, you're usually going to a hotel and ordering room service, having the cleaning service every day. housekeeping isn't the same. some hotels not operating them every day because a lot of the hotel and travel companies don't have the staff they used to.

we've also seen airlines cancel or delay flights because they haven't been able to keep up with all of these flights that were scheduled as they tried to prepare for this weekend, so it's been very difficult for the travel and hospitality industries to catch up with people going out and just traveling, so we do expect this summer to be very, very busy. the advice from the travel experts is for families planning any type of summer trip, just like all of america, want to get out after the lockdown the advice is wait until the end of the summer when they expect the industry to catch up and prices could be dropping, yazmin. >> guad venegas, thanks. we bring in brian kelly how to get an upgrade or free ticket maybe with some mileage. i wish i had you in my back pocket to answer the questions i have trying to book a flight and everything is so darned

expensive. you think about some of what guad laid out for us, how the travel industry has changed over the last 15 months or so. you have hospitality being completely different in hotels, price surging when it comes to planes, gas through the roof, reporting that on friday myself and rental car shortages. if i want to rent a car, forget about it. there's usually notit a car unls you are a gold standard member. is this something that will persist? >> absolutely. it's all about the labor shortages but in the case ofor rental cars, there's a semiconductor shortage that is attributing to that mess. you can still rent cars but i highly recommend booking in advance and book b directly wit the car company. don't y to go through some random online travel agency, get a little bit of a deal so sign up for their loyalty program and book in advance especially florida, where the demand is simply throughma the roof. >> so let about booking

in advance. a lot of folks say listen i'm booking my christmas vacation. everyone wants to get out the door, weren't able to celebrate christmas or any, of the holids over the last year. how far in advance should people actually be booking especially when you're seeing price surges across the airlines? >> i recommend book as far in advance as possible. one of thes? silver linings of e pandemic, the airlines allow to you change your flights for y free. evenfl if your flight price dro dramatically, you can call and get a voucher for the difference on most airlines. the same goes for frequent flyer miles. use your miles, if there's one message you hear ttoday, peopl frequent flyer miles lose value over time so use them now and most loyalty programs will let yougr cancel flights for whatev reason you want if you want to change your ticket down the line. so book those holiday plans now. every day more and more people aremo vaccinated globally, trav demand will continue to increase day over day, for the next couple years, so if you see a

good flight price, lock it in now. >> what's the best way, brian, for folks to stay on top of changes in the travel industry? i ask this because of the fact you said changef fees are waiv at this time. but there was a time in the past where if you want to change a flight there was times paying $250 or upwards of that to change as flight that you probably spent less ghon. how do we stay on top of the changes thatst are happening whh we know will continue to happen as more and more things open up. >> yazmin, i'd like to point out there's always caveats to every change and you know, i obviously will roh motor the pointsguy.com, we evaluate everv single change coming out of theg government. the government announced there executive order coming from president biden if the airline doesn't deliver your bags on time, they need to refund you. so my team of experts go througt every detail and even on the airline change fees they snuck in a new change in may that caveats that basic economy tickets are not included in those free changes, which most

of us book. >> see, exactly?tl >> they're sneaky. >> sorry. you got to stay ahead of the airlines for sure. >> i didn't mean to cut you off but stuffo like that just make me silly. brian kelly, thanks for your guidance on this, appreciate it, folks are getting out there to travel. in our next hour, crews using explosives take down what was left of the partially collapsed condo. we take you there live.th and another ransom ware r attack, why does the u.s. keep getting hit?in conman jackie speier, a member of the intel joins me next. a member of the intel joins me next ...me. my symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira
