Scene, hes been taking it all in over the last couple of days. Wolf, what are you seeing . Yeah, its a really depressing scene as we go through meeting with families and Loved Ones. Its hard to go through this, as you know, jim, you know this area very, very well, as do i. We just learned, jim, a little while ago that Family Members of the victims were bused into a site for a private visit. Many of them still searching for answers, not knowing if their Loved Ones are among those lost in the rubble. Crews there arent just searching for victims. Theyre also searching for evidence. Floridas governor says pieces of debris are being taken to a nearby warehouse so they can be forensically analyzed. Lets get right to cnns brian todd, hes very near the Search And Rescue site where crews are continuing their heroic efforts right now. Brian, Family Members, people at home, they are praying, they are hoping for any signs of life, for any reason to be hopeful, for that matter. Whats the latest you can share with our viewers . Reporter wolf, the latest i can share with you is the two busloads presumably of Family Members under Police Escort just passed us again, going south on Collins Avenue toward the site of the collapse. That is at least the second set of two busloads each that we have seen either going to the site or from the site under Police Escort. So it appears at this hour like they are shuttling Family Members back and forth to get a look at the site, to maybe be briefed by officials as to how the progress is going. You know, whether theres hope for survival, weve heard Fire And Rescue officials, veterans of this kind of work, say there is still hope. But its not clear when theyre going to move this from a Search And Rescue operation to a Search And Recovery operation. They still have not given a timeline for that, wolf. And we can update our viewers with the latest count we have of at least nine confirmed dead, 156 people unaccounted for. Now, one of the key components of this Search And Rescue effort is a massive trench that they have dug, and theyre still digging. At least 125 feet long, several feet wide, several dozens of feet deep. The Fire Chief of miamidade county,al a aal an Alan Ckom talked to us about what its like to be inside that trench. Were in one of the most difficult collapses to deal with. The operation of what were seeing, its just an extremely difficult situation. The type of debris, unfortunately, that were coming across, its tough to describe. Its just, you know, we dont have the things that we would be hoping for, things that were looking for. Were still looking. So thats what i mean by horrific. Its a very difficult, difficult crisis. Reporter very difficult and indeed dangerous. That work thats going on there. What he said near the end of that Sound Clip is crucial, when he says that they dont have any voids theyre finding. Thats some bad news. Thats a very crucial piece of information because thats what Rescue Teams look for in these situations. My team and i were in haiti, in japan, after those earthquakes. Voids in these collapsed buildings, thats where the signs of life are, thats where they can find air pockets, thats where they can find people possibly making noises. If he says theyre not finding any voids right now, thats not a good sign. Again, theyre still working dog he h gedally, 24 7. There is a Rescue Team from israel on site, a mexican team is on site. We heard from officials earlier that at any given Moment Youve got at least 200 rescuers combing through the rubble. Theyre using dogs as well. This is a massive effort. I believe one of the officials that you spoke to, wolf, said this is the biggest nonhurricane Rescue Effort possibly in the states history. You get a sense of whats going on down there. Its a huge operation under way right now. And these are very, very courageous men and women who are engaged in this Search And Rescue operation. Its very dangerous out there, as you know. All right, brian, well get back to you. Joining us on the phone is florida senator rick scott. Senator, Thank You so much for joining us. As you know, senator, some families have told me and others theyre very upset, theyre frustrated at the pace of the Search And Rescue operation. Have you spoken to members, to some of the Family Members . What are you telling them . Ill tell you, i met with a lot of Family Members multiple times. And, you know, in the beginning, rightfully, theyre asking for more information. And i know everybody is Working Hard to get them as much information as possible. They also want to understand the amount of effort. And so as you know, theres unbelievable numbers of people that are working. So i think its important, and i think everybody is doing it. Miamidade Fire Rescue does a great job. You know, state Fire And Rescue does a great job. Weve got a group from israel. I called the State Department to make sure the israeli group could get in. Weve got a lot of people working. And were still optimistic. But your heart goes out to these Family Members because they want their Family Member found. Theyre praying theres going to be pockets where Family Members will be. Im with them, i hope this happens. But im going to tell you, ive been down there, everybodys Working Hard, everybodys hopeful, but its a tough its a tough environment. I feel sorry for these families. So do i. Its just heartbreaking. We keep hearing, senator, from officials that they dont have whats called a resource problem, they have what theyre now calling a luck problem. Theyve been dealing with fire, rain, smoke, the risk of further collapse at the scene. Its a very dangerous situation. I know you received a briefing from fema earlier this morning. Are you satisfied with the response so far . I think everybody you know, wolf, everybodys Working Hard. Its unprecedented. I was really impressed with the israeli team, they came in, because theyve done this a lot, they said, look, weve found people many hours after people didnt think we would find them. Theres been people found in haiti, days after. So i think everybodys Working Hard, theyre trying to do it in a safe manner. I know Everybodys Everybody i talk to, theyre Working Hard. Fire and rescue, everybodys working their tail off. Miamidade police. I mean, you can see it in their eyes, they want to find people. They certainly do. We learned, as you know, senator, that back in 2018, some three years ago, an engineer actually warned of what was described as major structural damage at the complex, at this Condominium Building here in surfside. What can you do to get answers as to why the repairs werent made . Put your hat on as a former governor. I think whats going to happen is, rightfully, everybodys going to go back and say, okay, one, we dont want this to happen again, so what happened here and lets make sure this doesnt happen again. I think the mayor of surfside did the right thing by theres a sister building, saying, look, lets make sure we get that one inspected, in the meantime no one should be in there. I know this is whats going to happen. Everybodys going to go back and say, wait a minute, lets make sure this never happens again, what do we have to do, do we have to change anything. And i think all the building owners are going to be doing the same thing. Theyll be saying, okay, lets learn, in the meantime, even as we learn what happened here, lets see what we need to do for our buildings to make sure people are safe. We dont ever want this to happen again. So, you know, wolf, as you know, well find out over time, but i think right now everybody is taking this very seriously in their buildings and saying, what should we do to make sure people in our buildings are safe. Youre absolutely right, Priority Number one is saving lives. Hopefully they will find individuals alive. Priority number two is, learn exactly what happened to try to make sure it doesnt happen again. Never, never, nun ever again. You and i know, senator, there are so many buildings along the coast here that are similar. Oh, miles. We have to deal with this problem. A lot of floridians are pretty nervous right now about where theyre living. We have to get to the bottom of it quickly. I know youll try your best to do so. Senator, thanks so much for joining us. Thanks, wolf. Thanks for being down there. Byebye. Thank you very much. For more information on how you, you, can help the victims of the surfside building collapse, go to cnn. Com impact.

Criminal charges could be coming this week as part of the Manhattan DistrictAttorneys Investigation into Donald Trumps family business, the Trump Organization. Cnns Paula Reed is with me now. Paula, what kind of allegations are we talking about here . This sounds like it could be a significant week. It could be a very bad week for the Trump Organization. We know the Manhattan DistrictAttorneys Office has informed the company it could be criminally charged as soon as this week. And this case would really focus on benefits. The allegation being that the company was trying to avoid paying Payroll Taxes on Fringe Benefits like cars, apartments, and school tuition. Its highly unusual to charge a company for failing to pay taxes on perks like this. So were going to wait for any charges that are filed and look at exactly how theyre supported. Were also watching for potential criminal charges against long time Trump Organization cfo Allen Weisselberg. The allegation there is expected to be that he received some of these perks. Theres been a Pressure Campaign on weisselberg for quite some time to flip against former President Trump or anyone else he could potentially have evidence against. Our colleague reports weisselbergs lawyers have told prosecutors, look, im not going to cooperate, im not going to flip. Thats going to be very interesting to watch. It seems like this is all coming down to Allen Weisselberg and whether or not hes going to cooperate and whether this pressure is enough to change his mind. It appears set that hes not going to cooperate with investigators. Thank you so much for stopping by, paula, we appreciate it. Someone who hes spent a lot of time working with Donald Trump, Barbara Res is a former Trump Organization executive Vice President , an attorney, engineer, and author of Tower Of Lies what my 18 years of working with Donald Trump reveals about him. Barbara, the company has gotten used to a rinse, wash, and Repeat Cycle in which he is let off the hook including by many republicans who see no evil, hear no evil, and embrace conspiracies and election lies in the wake of January 6, as you know all too well. Based on what you know about how the Trump Organization works, do you think that Donald Trump himself is in legal jeopardy here . What do you see happening this week . It depends on what they have and what theyre going after. I hear them talk about going after the Trump Organization. But the Trump Organization is not general motors. It was just a kind of loose thing that we called ourselves. I think it was incorporated, but later, after i started there. Im sure that everything, every operation that he has, is held in a Holding Company or an llc. So im not exactly sure what entities or where theyre going with this. As far as trump was concerned, if they were to get evidence against trump, it would be to the extent that really Nothing Major has ever happened, to my knowledge. And this is confirmed by other people that worked for him much later, that he didnt know about, Nothing Major. So he is in with both legs. I think that if they get something, it will be to go after trump. Weisselberg, im surprised hes not talking. I dont understand. He cant get a pardon. It sort of explains some of the other people, but trump has go on him, i would imagine. Thats the only thing i can think of. If he does consider, you know, refusing to flip, and, you know, the Expression Flip implies guilt, i mean, why would trump say he wont flip . Flip means hes got something. Weisselberg could go to jail for a very long time. Cnn tried to get him on the air about that. Is there any information you would like to give us regarding the case . No comment. Do you currently pay taxes on the Apartment Or Car that you own . No comment. Sometimes the questions arent very nice. As you know, Weisselbergs Cooperation could be a Turning Point in this investigation. How valuable would weisselberg be, do you think, knowing what you know about the organization . In its present form, weisselberg is probably the most informed person there, the person that knows the most. As they say, where the bodies are buried. I think allen is essential. They did interview jeff maconey, the comptroller, the controller they call him. He probably had a lot of information. He may have had information on Allen And Trump both. So, you know, its hard to say. They play it close to the vest. You dont know what they have. But allen is definitely the key guy. And barbara, knowing what you know about Donald Trump after all of these years, do you think he belongs in jail . You know, its not only what i knew of his personality and the way he operates, but what ive observed over 20 years, really the last five or six, certainly. I mean, thats an opinion of a citizen, not even somebody that knows trump. But i do know him, and i know that hes very deliberate, very measured, and very vengeful. And he doesnt follow the rules. He never did follow the rules. So does he deserve to go to jail . I imagine he does. Are you surprised by what happened on January 6th and everything thats happened after that . I was horrified by it. I didnt expect anything like that. What happened afterwards is just a disgrace. Its an absolute disgrace. And now, in retrospect, it looks like trump and other republicans may very well have been involved in that insurrection, as we call it. Well see. We shall see, thats right. Barbara res, thanks so much for coming on this afternoon, we hope to talk to you in the future again. Barbaras book is the Tower Of Lies what my 18 years of working with Donald Trump reveals about him. I would say working with the president for 18 years would say a lot.

This just coming in at cnn, weve just learned the City Of Miami has sent a letter to buildings that are over six stories tall and more than 40 years old, urging them to get an immediate inspection from a qualified structural engineer. The city wants the buildings to then send back a Status Report on the status of the structure. This comes, sadly, as the Death Toll here in surfside continues to rise, as Rescue Teams continue their urgent efforts to try to locate survivors. Crews recovered four bodies overnight. More human remains, bringing the confirmed Death Toll right now to nine with more than 150 people still unaccounted for. Just a short time ago the families of those missing and killed in the collapse were allowed to visit the Disaster Site in what the mayor called a very private event. Joining Success A Family who was staying inside the building when most of it collapsed and they had to immediately rush out to save their lives. Albert and jeanette guerrero, their Daughter Athena and Son Justin are all joining us now. Thank you so much for joining us, were so grateful, im sure our viewers are as well, that you all survived this disaster. Albert, i know All Of You were asleep that night. It was the middle of the night, 1 30 a. M. You hear this thundering sound. Walk us through, take us through the first frantic minutes. I looked up, The Walls of the apartment were shaking. Jeanette jumped out of bed quickly to check on the kids. The kids had been awake, watching netflix at that time. She called me out because the chandeliers and the Pendant Lights in the Dining Room were swaying back and forth. So she was like, i think we need to get out of here. A few minutes later, the Fire Department showed up. It was the response was incredibly quick. I walked out onto the balcony and yelled down to them to ask whether we needed to evacuate. They said we need to evacuate as quick as possible. So at that moment we grabbed our phones, wallets, keys, and went to open the front door. When we opened the front door, thats when we really were made aware of the devastation to the building. I looked to the left, and the apartment is half sheared off. I looked right ahead, which is where the elevators are supposed to be, just two empty elevator shafts. Thankfully, the Emergency Exit Light to the staircase was lit up, so we sprinted to the staircase and opened that door, only to realize that The Wall had partially collapsed there. At that moment, it really hit me that we were racing against time to get to the bottom of the building before the entire thing came down, at least that was my initial gut. I know, jeanette, you were staying way up, on the 11th Floor of this 12story building, you were right below the penthouse. As you were trying to escape with your husband, your kids, what was going through your mind . Survival, right . It kicks in, i dont know how. Theres no explanation. All i was thinking was, we need to get out of here before this building completely comes down on us. After seeing The Walls and how badly and violently they swayed, i honestly dont know how it didnt come down when we were startled basically out of our sleep. So yeah, that was the only thing on my mind, lets get down and lets get down as quickly as possible and away from the building. And justin, i understand that when you made it down, about eight floors or so, you came across an elderly woman who clearly needed help, so what happened next . I think we just kind of came to a little bit of a halt, tried to help her get out as quickly as possible, because if she doesnt get out, we dont get out. I think she was kind of a blessing in disguise, when you think about the whole situation because it takes your mind off of it, kind of going towards her and finding a way to get out collectively. And, you know, you just try and help people out. It takes your mind completely off of it. We had to get her above The Wall that had collapsed initially in the garage, and then, you know, we were on one side of The Wall, my dad was on the other side. We threw her kind of over. It was the only way we were going to do it. And then trying to get her onto the Pool Deck was the next challenge. I put her on my shoulder and did kind of the same thing, tried to toss her onto the Pool Deck. Once we got to that, we all started to take a sigh of relief. You feel safe, once you see the beach and get on the sand, you count your blessings. Athena, this must have been so incredibly scary, i cant imagine what you were going through. When everyone did get out safely, you could look up and guess a grasp of that whole building, what it looks like, athena, what went through your mind . We got out, and i was grateful that we had everyone with us, that we even saved people, that there were people coming out with us. Like, it wasnt just us. There were other people. There was hope that there were more people. That was the hope, obviously, more than 150 people are still missing, nine confirmed dead so far. Albert, what do you know about any construction that had been going on at the building before the collapse . Were there any problems, any indications from your Advantage Point . How long have you guys lived in that building . We used that apartment as a vacation home. My parents bought it about three years ago. They had just renovated it. And going through covid, it was actually a nice escape. We had used it four or five times to just get away. We werent in a hotel, connected be there safely, or at least we felt that way. My wife and i visited in february, and in february, around valentines day, there was a Construction Project on the roof that would wake us up every morning with drilling and pounding on the roof. I expected that to be complete, but when we came back down here now in june, it was the same sounds at 8 00 a. M. Promptly. I know they also had built the building next door. Im not sure if there was anything that may have happened with the construction there. Ive heard from neighbors that after that building was put there, you know, the building began to sway a little bit more and things like that. So im not really sure. We have been there i think four or five times over the course of the last 18 months. Honestly, it was a building that seems you know, its a building on the beach. It shouldnt collapse when you go to sleep, right . Yeah, it should not collapse at all. Albert, jeanette, athena, justin, were so grateful, so appreciative and so grateful that you made it out of that building on time. Good luck down the road and well stay in touch with All Of You. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Were going to continue to cover whats going on here in surfside. Also other news were following, former President Trump returns to the stage with rather dangerous rhetoric about the election that he lost fair and square. Yea, that look of pure terror. No, no, the smile. And that second right before the first tear comes. What . pizza on a bagelwe can all agree with that. Do you want a hug .

Were talking about former president Donald Trump. He used his first rally since leaving the White House to repeat lies about the Election And Rail against his enemies. The 2020 president ial election was rigged. We won the election in a landslide. Ballots were wheeled in through back doors in swing states days after the election. All of the dead people that theyre finding. These are dead people. They used covid in order to rig the election and in order to steal the election. Those were all lies. But anyway, lets bring in our cnn political commentator, former white House Adviser Paul begala and republican strategist alice stewart. We have to at least put up i describe it as a surgeon generals warning when trump would talk at the White House. Hes going to the border later this week and will have these rallies later this summer. Putting to the side what trump is saying at these events, the sheer size of them, he is bringing people out to these rallies. Do democrats have to worry about that . You should always worry, yes. I think republicans should worry too, though, because at this stage of an election cycle, the most important thing is recruiting, its like texas longhorn football, who are we getting to come to our team. Donald trump is spending time Recruiting Republicans to run against republicans instead of Recruiting Republicans to run against democrats. In that district, which is trending republican but its a swing district, he attacked the incumbent republican congressman, anthony gonzalez, one of the few latino republicans in the house, a former nfl player, a tough candidate to beat. Hes dividing his party and weakening it. I say great, good job, donald. What do you say alice, is this good for the gop . Its not great. As paul says, this is a grievance tour, going across the country, finding challengers for republican incumbents, for the people who voted for Donald Trump to be impeached. There are ten of them. Hes committed to doing this. My view on this is, i wish he was as committed to Infrastructure Week as he is to his revenge endorsements, we would have gotten a lot done. Heres the thing thats important to keep in mind. While the rhetoric i have never liked, the tone i have never liked, the lies about the election i have never liked, we have to keep those people on board. We need to keep trumps base engaged and energized and out to the polls. And what we also need to be doing simultaneously is trying to bring back the disaffected republicans that he pissed off and went another way in the 2020 election. So keeping these people engaged and energized is really important. But i question how effective this is going to be in the midterm with regard to going after shooting within the republican tent. I think its not productive. Hes not bringing the party together, thats for certain. And paul, trump was not the only speaker last night. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene, sort of the trump allstars last night. She used her remarks to launch an attack on alexandria ocasiocortez. Lets listen. The democrats are now controlled by the Jihad Squad led by aoc, the Little Communist from new york city. Right. Yeah, lock her up too, thats a good idea. Shes not an american. She really doesnt embrace our american ways. That is not american, to say something like that. But ocasiocortez responded to the Little Communist remark by tweeting, first of all, im taller. That is not a bad way to respond, paul. Its better to just laugh it all. The problem is, there could be security implications. Absolutely. Now, i bet Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene needs security too, i want her to be safe as well. But when she says those very hateful, bigoted things about an american member of congress, there are security implications. And she should know that now. Its not most, its not many, but some tiny, tiny fraction of her audience could be deranged and could be inspired to violence. We saw the violence on January 6. She knows or should know that she has the capacity to inspire some tiny percentage of her followers to violence. So she should be much more responsible. She should be ashamed of herself. And the problem with that, there are plenty of Policy Arguments to make against aoc and the squad. There are plenty of them, we could go on all day about the Policy Differences that Marjorie Taylor Greene has with aoc. Thats what she should be doing, and not calling her names and not threatening her. She knows darn good and well when she makes comments like that, she accomplishes two things. Donald trump loves it and her base starts donating money. Shes raising money off that type of rhetoric. The key here is not to go after the other side or even republicans on name calling, but lets stick to policy, get away from the personality crap, and lets stick to policy. Yeah, i mean, i will tell you, i tried to talk to Marjorie Taylor Greene last week, im sure you saw some of the video of this, and theres a wizard of Oz Quality to it just like Donald Trump, when you peel back the current, theres not a lot of there there. I asked her repeatedly about this Fbi Conspiracy Theory on January 6 and she cant explain it. She can deliver a good line on a stage at a rally, but my suspicion is, if you were to go to her and say, how do you back this up, Locking Up alexandria ocasiocortez, we dont do that in this country. Alice, let me ask you, Tucker Carlson and Fox News have been on this, you know, rampage about critical Race Theory. He tried to spin this as antiwhite mania. Lets listen. The question is, and this is the question that we should be meditating on day in and day out, is how do we get out of this vortex, this cycle, before its too late . How do we save this country before we become rwanda . What do you think about that . This is just the latest Outrage Device over at fox, is it not . Its certainly gotten a lot of traction. I personally dont agree with critical Race Theory. I think it calls attention to racism as a construct that permeates all areas of america. I totally disagree with that. But at the same time, i think some in the republican party and the right wing media, are spending too much time and attention on this and saying disparaging things about military leaders who are general milley. General milley, and the comments made against him were i think completely inappropriate. But again, this might be something that is important to a small facet of right wing media, but there are many more things we need to be focusing on. Lets spend more time talking about infrastructure, lets spend more time talking about the border and taxes and how were going to pay for this infrastructure package. I think this is certainly something that is only pertinent and relevant with a small minority of the far right. Quick final thought, paul. You seem to know Tucker Carlson. For many years. I think that alice makes a good point. This is diversion by distraction, right . The democrats are busy putting shots in arms and dollars in the bank. They look like theyre reaching a bipartisan deal on infrastructure. Theyre governing the country. This is a superpower. And im sure the democrats will make their mistakes, but theyre actually executing on the things that people care about. The right keeps Coming Up with these stupid straw men, these pinatas that they can just whack that have nothing to do with peoples real lives. Critical Race Theory is enormously useful. Its a graduate level concept, not taut in grades k12. Its enormously useful. The notion that my friends on the right are so afraid of a collection of ideas, its one of many ideas that we should study.
