Towers was in the background but no more. Giving Search And Rescue crews more access and less worry has the Death Toll is climbing. At 10 30 Sunday Night all that was left of the Champlain Condos South came to the ground. It was shifting. This ended a day and a Half Pause for the Search And Rescue operation which is very important to families who want to have proper funerals for lost loved ones. They tell us, even though you lost a loved one, thank you for being away from your families and risking your life to help us. Bringing that building down in a controlled manner was critical. The Search And Rescue operation was back to full speed. They found three more bodies bringing the confirmed dead to 27 and 118 residents still missing. The county searched under beds and closets for pets so any 4 legged survivors did not come down with the remaining building. We went to great lengths to take every step we could at great risk to our first responders that no pets were left in the building. Elsa is posing less of a threat there. Phil, many thanks. The White House took a positive approach to the Administrations Failure to reach President Biden Independence Day Vaccination goal. Mark meredith tells us where things go from here. President biden celebrated the 4th Of July with a party on the South Lawn and reminding americans how much has changed. We have gained the upper hand against this virus. We can live our lives. Our kids can go back to school. Our economy is roaring back. But republicans they President Biden should be thanking former President Trump. President trump was leading Operation Warp Speed and biden was spreading doubt about the vaccine. He should thank thump. Americas fight against the coronavirus is not over yet. The president missed having 70 of the adults to receive at least one dose by this week. The rate is 67 . We need to build on the progress we made and build in vaccine confidence. A handful of States Deal with a surge in new covid cases due to the delta variant. I dont think you will see anything nationwide. We have a substantial proportion of the population vaccinated. It will be regional. The u. S. Is sending more Vaccine Stockpile overseas. The State Department showed One Million pfizer doses heading to malaysia and the u. S. Will donate 500 Million doses to countries worldwide by next summer. The president did not hold any public events. Tomorrow back on work giving a briefing on the pandemic and the Vaccine Roll out. Later he will stump for 2 massive spends bills. Lets talk about a different kind of virus. Ransom ware was discovered late last week. Who is behind it . They are trying to comprehend the full impact of this attack. It impacted Travel And Leisure companies. These hackers are asking for 70 Million in bit coin. They are believed to be tied to a russian cyber crime group, but President Biden said the u. S. Is trying to determine if the russian government was involved in this. The president told Vladimir Putin there will be consequences is russia is involved in cyber attacks. Thanks a lot. The missouri democratic Congressman Bush is taking severe back lash for tweeting black people are not free on Independence Day and america is stolen land. Needa has reaction tonight. We are all equal. While President Biden stuck a theme of unity in the 4th of July Address from the White House, some lawmakers seized the opportunity to air grievances over what they call a segregated holiday like this tweet from bush from missouri the freedom they are referring to is for white people. Black people are still not free. Some colleagues defended her, but others questioned her choice of words. I shake my Head And Move on. Her tweet was ridiculous and most black people dont agree. And Ted Cruz weighed in saying the left hates america. Believe them when they tell you this. Even before pushs tweet Maxine Waters was busy on twitter tweeting this while hosting a 4th Of July special, Vanessa Williams belted out the Song Lift every voice, considered the black National Anthem and a number of newspapers featured these headlines with the New York Times suggesting the flag is a 4th of July Symbol of unity that may no longer unite. And this from the washington post, having readers to wonder if its time to admit that the statute of liberty has never quite measured up. Despite all of the chatter across twitter we have yet to hear any response from Speaker Pelosi about the negative 4th of July Comments from Congresswoman Bush and others. She will field questions when congress returns to town later this month. Mike. Anita, thanks. Lets talk to brit hume. Things are so polarized, even Independence Day is controversial . It seems to be. The one thing you never hear critics of the country cite is some country which measures up to their standards. You never hear about another country that is doing a better job. There is a reason for that. I can think of no nation in history that tried harder or done more to bring its minority populations to the mainstream of the country with all of its freedoms and advantages. It hasnt been that long ago that slavery which is talked about more today than any time since the Civil War, was everywhere. Going back to biblical timings. Times. It was everywhere. This country has gone a long way to remedy the ills that grew out of that lack of Freedom And Violation of human rights. You never hear the critics say we would like to be like this country. They cant. This comes after he had a 2term africanamerican president and now an africanamerican female vicepresident. Thats one more sign of how open this country has become and much more opportunity is available now to minority populations than ever used to be the case. It and maybe anywhere else in The World. The people who say these things that do a wonderful job of getting publicity for themselves. The squad gets coverage far beyond its influence. You wonder if they have any historical knowledge and remember the Civil War and the civil Rights Movement and its great achievements. Among their greatest achievement was the consensus in this country against racism. Being labeled a racist is one of the worst things that can happen to you. The american people simply do not approve of racism. They are against it. Thats not true in every other country but its true here. You would think these people were born 10 years ago. Do they not know what it was like when he did have systemic racism until the civil Rights Movement when laws were stacked against black people . All of that has been wiped away. As a man of faith it makes you wonder what it will take to heal this great country with those folks. It will take a considerable leader. I am not sure we have one yet. Brit hume, happy Independence Day. Thanks, mike. Same to you. Up next live to the southern border where there is no holiday for the people handing the immigration crisis. First what fox affiliates across the country are covering. Chicago Police Officers were shot and wounded while trying to break up a crowd following 4th Of July gatherings. It happened less than an hour after a drive by shooting on the South Side left 2 dead and 4 wounded. In sacramento, a fire in Shasta County is 20 contained after burning 12,000 acres. More than 730 Fire Personnel are assigned to the fire. Many Evacuation Orders remain in place. This is a live look at New York from fox 5. One of the big stories there tonight.

Elsa is expected to head for florida where a State Of Emergency has been declared. Illegal immigrants trying to cross into the country and the folks trying to control them at the border had a busy Independence Weekend. Bill is in texas. No Holiday Break for Border Patrol in the rio grande valley. A group of 80 illegal immigrants are loaded on the bus in the blistering texas heat. Agents apprehended a Guatemala Man with a second Degree Murder Conviction and they arrested 3 illegal immigrants who broke into a ranchers home and stole 2 loaded firearms and ammunition. I have never seen it like this. My deputies are catching 10 in a week. Texas State Troopers are doing the same thing. We catch one and we miss three. We have it on body cam. We stop one car and we see two more that we Cant Stop because our resources are tied up on the one. Thats why other states are helping. Sending Law Enforcement to texas and arizona. Florida sent 50 State Troopers and iowa is sending up to 30 Police Officers. Nebraska sent with 25 officers. South carolina will send 300 National Guard and arkansas up to 40 National Guard with the Arkansas Governor saying he hopes this will impact the border crisis. We will try to do our part. What is happening is a disaster. Its a Human Tragedy with the change in balance coming out of the biden administration. Mike, what we are waiting is for dhs to release the June Apprehension numbers for migrants. In april and may those numbers were Record Setting for the past 20 years ago. Through may of this year, we had more than 700,000 migrant encounters at the southern border. Arizonas Attorney General said the track we are on that number could be 2 Million by the end of the year. That doesnt include the people who end up getting away. Back to you. Bill, thanks a lot. Authorities in georgia say a Golf Pro and who other men were killed in a shooting in a Country Club over the weekend. The suspect is still at large. Siller was an employee of the country men were discovered with gunshot wounds. There were no u. S. Casualties in iraq. At least 3 rockets landed on the air base. There has been no claim of responsibility. The u. S. Accused Militia Groups of launching similar attacks. The pentagon said the u. S. Withdrawal from afghanistan will be complete late next month. The administration is be criticized for what will happen after the gropes are gone. Troops are gone. Jennifer. He described what happened. Its not good. The u. S. Just sent 4 Million to create a customs crossing point. The taliban have a source of revenue. The loss of terrain has to be concerning. Hope and morale matters. As you watch the taliban moving across the country, what you dont want to have happen is in the people lose hope. People who have enough money leave afghanistan. Every Day Thousands of people line up in embassies to leave afghanistan sooner. The pentagon is negotiating with a country to serve as a Drone Base now that the u. S. Doesnt have the use of bagram airlifted north of kabul. We handed Bagram Affair base over to the afghans. Its an asset to protect us from terrorists. It counters russia, china and iran. We are going dark in afghanistan and will be longterm consequences. In terms of the thousands of afghan translators and their families who faced Death Threats for working with the u. S. Government, Congressman Mccall said they are negotiating to serve as a base as a the u. S. Processes their visa requests. Up next the pandemic is easing and america is getting back to normal. Why is the u. S. Capitol Still Closeed to the public. And an update in surfside, florida. We will take you there when it happens. Stay with us. Tin. An Air Force Veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right.

Now, she uses a capful of therabreath healthy smile oral rinse to give her the healthy, sparkly smile she always wanted. Crowd Cheering therabreath, its a better mouthwash. At walmart, target and other fine stores. There are growing questions on the Independence Weekend why the u. S. Capitol is still closed to the public. The pandemic is easying and its been 6 months since the January 6th riot. Chad examines the issue. The smithonnian and National Park are open but the u. S. Capitol remains closeed. This is the longest period of time the Capitol Hasnt been accessible to the american people in history. It was shuttered for Pandemic And Security and partly for politics. Lawmakers struggle to meet with constituents. Its limited. Few people who come to down, to meet with them its off campus. To have the building continue to be closed raises the question about how open is our democracy and how accessible are the lawmakers. A Security Fence encircles the capitol. The fence is coming down in the coming days but that doesnt mean the capitol is open again. The fences should come down. This is the peoples house. This belongs to the american people. We want it to be free and open. The capitol is far from fulls operational even for lawmakers. Committees conduct hearings on zoom. Our armed forces committees some members are in their offices instead of coming into the Hearing Room am there is no reason for that other than they want to do other things. The house instituted Proxy Voting last year for members to vote remotely during the pandemic. Democrats can only use a few members and prevail in a floor float. Republicans claim that House Speaker Nancy pelosi has Proxy Voting as an Insurance Policy in case some democrats are absent. Chad, thanks a lot. In tonights whatever happened to segment. Google was supposed to change the way you live your life. Claudia takes A Look. When they launched Google Glass 10 years ago out of a blimp, the gadget was hailed as a game changer. Wearers could use the internet and check Email And Record videos with a move of their Read Or Voice commands. The idea was to get rid of commuters and have a device that could do everything and wear it on your face. It gave us a taste of the future. Google Beta Taster wore Google Class for a year even in the shower. Deciding the reality was fun but it was an elitist product because it was their 1500 and it did not do much. Googles device never really caught on. Glass was doomed by its tiny built in camera that unleashed big privacy concerns. You could take Somebodys Picture without doing anything other than a gesture is creepy to a lot of people. A term was coined Glass Hole to refer to people wearing Google Glasses. By 2019 google scrapped glass and markets it for industrial use in manufacturing and healthcare. I can see the value with that and it puts back in the geeky category rather than a Fashion Forward Statement they tried to make. Analysts predict the day will come when everyone wears computers on their face. These are made by snap. Apple and other companies are developing their own smart frame. Even smart constant lenses learning from googles rough Roll Out of glass. Up next the panel react to the Troop Withdrawal from afghanistan. Rescue workers are looking for dozens of people who may be trapped after a torrent of mud, trees and rocks ripped through a japanese resort time. 4 killed and 80 unaccounted for. An explosion at a Chemical Factory in bangkok killed 1 person and injured more. There are fears of fumes. The vatican said the pope is alert and in good conditioning following surgery to remove part of his colon. He will stay in the hospital for 7 days. The 3 Hour Operation was performed by a 10 person surgical team. We have an update coming from surfside, florida. Lets go there live. Good Afternoon And Welcome to the afternoon joint operational briefing. I welcome to the podium the miamidade count mayor. County mayor. Here we are again at the end of day 12. We are able to report that the Search And Rescue team has been able to search all sections of the grid on the collapse following the building demmission. Demolition. Now that the entire area is safe to search. They removed 4. 8 million pounds of concrete from the pile as they serve the debris. The bad weather unfortunately cause someday temporary pauses of the work. Specifically lightning which is not safe for conducting the search effort. It forces us to stop to protect the safety of our first responders. Through the teams ongoing search efforts today, we have recovered another victim. The number of confirmed deaths is now 28. With 26 identified and 191 accounted for and 115 unaccounted for. I want to remind everyone again that our detectives are auditing the list to verify the reports of missing people and these numbers will likely shift. I am in awe of the men and women of the Task Force teams who have been continuing to brave dangerous and changing conditions for 12 days fire, smoke, and now wind and torrential rain. They are continuing the mission and the search of the collapsed area. They worked under this great difficulty and they have pulled shifts to rotate because thats how much they want to be out there searching. The first responders are the most frustrated by any delays we have experienced. Trulily they live to save lives they want pushed ahead no matter what is thrown in their way. Our community and the whole Nation And World is forever grateful to them as we watch them labor to save lives and find people. As we are experiencing now the outer bands of tropical Storm Elsa, we have seen and Tornado Warnings across the county. If you dont need to be out tonight, please stay home to avoid any dangerous conditions on the roads. I also want to remind our community that all County Departments will be operating as normal tomorrow. I want to take a moment to thank All Of You, the members of the media for your own extraordinary efforts over these past 12 days. I know that reporting this tragedy and telling the stories of those who have been lost and those who are grieving is not easy for you either. I have spoken to you. I have seen it in your faces. I know its very, very personal. On behalf of this community, we are deeply grateful for All Of You and especially i want to mention the reporters at the Miami Herald and other journalists for the Care And Attention they have given to tell the stories of individual families and what they have gone through, the impact its and making sure The World knows they have lived lives that have now been lost that, we celebrate, that we remember. Thanks for helping to remind us of all of our shared humanity and making sure these stories are not forgotten. An updated number on the surfside condo collapse. 28 fatalities and 117 unaccounted for. Phil keating has been on the ground. What stuck out to you from the update . They made more progress this afternoon finding an additional victim. Hopes are dipping for all of the Family Members that the 117 still unaccounted will be found alive dimming. It has happened. People found alive 17 days under a pile of rubble and pulled out, but its extremely rare. She sounds exhausted as well. I think everybody is exhausted. Its been a long 11 days. The element have been terrible. Pouring rain for the first 10 days and over the weekend it was hot. Blue skies but super hot. Feels like temperature of 102 and now the rains returninged it from tropical Storm Elsa. This is a disaster of a story. Nobody likes the fact it happened. Phil, thanks a lot.

Our mission in afghanistan continues. We continue to execute a safe, draw down in accordance with the president s guidance and for u. S. Forces to be out of afghanistan by the end of august. When we withdraw, the killings of women and the humanitarian crisis, President Biden will only these ugly images. We will give Isis And Alqaeda a save haven. The vacuum will be filled by terrorists. Am concerned we will be going back. The view from the top republican and from the pentagon. Lets bring in our panel. Trey gowdy former congressman from south carolina. Welcome. Bill, your thoughts on the situation in afghanistan . U. S. Troops coming out. What are your concerns . I will be bipartisan. Its a disaster. It will be on President Bidens watch but President Trump was encouraging it too. This is south asia. We will have no major base there. The Bagram Air Force base is a substantial base and we monitor from there. The road from china to europe goes right through afghanistan. We made it easier. Plus consider the women. Will they be able to go to school . I hope we got out as many people who helped us as possible. Finally, not just the moral victory but a real victory for the taliban. We cheered when the soviets left and now we are leaving. The comments from the pentagon sounded like saigon. Very sorry to stay this. This is a dreadful and huge mistake. There is concern about the interpreters and the drivers who helped u. S. Forces. Lets play this clip. These are interpreters and drivers, people who warned our american troops of threats. We have to get them home. Its incumbent upon us for our allies and any future endeavors to protect democracy. If our Allies Cant Trust to us there their backs like these afghans had our backs in a 20 year war, we Cant Project our democratic values across The World. Will they get the friendly afghans out of the country and your thoughts on the withdrawal from afghanistan. First, happy 4th Of July and Independence Day. I share what the Secretary Bennett has drawn. We have to show our commit to the individuals and families of those translators and provide a safe Haven And Refuge here in the u. S. Lets take a step back. I think its hard to argue that we have not done everything we can to bring a different Security Framework to afghanistan. I have traveled to afghanistan several times including a few times with Senator Biden and Senator Graham and the late senator mccann. Some of the things the secretary raised have to be considered. My sense is they have. I hope that the White House what i have not heard from the administration whether or not a redline has been drawn on the part of this administration, saying if our national security interests are threatened and in the taliban which is a Rogue Group of terrorists 83 people were shot in chicago over the weekend and 13 killed. We have rogue crazy everywhere. In a redline is cost, i hope the administration will be ready to go back in. They allowed a redline to be crossed under obama. Will they not allow it this time. Trey gowdy, your thoughts. Mike, its the old adage. We are welcome to stop fighting but that doesnt mean the war is over. Congressman ford and dr. Bennett raised good forms. We need 750 people to protect our embassy in the airport and you tell me the country is safe for afghan women . My Fear And Heart break is explaining to the american Sons And Daughters who lost their lives and limbs and youth in that country, what was it for . We will leave it. There up next the back lash by some over the 4th Of July. Nothing rhymes with liberty mutual. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. upbeat Pop Music in background throughout [ Me And You by barry Louis Polisar ] Me And You just singing on the train Me And You listening to the rain Me And You we are the same Me And You have all the fame we need indeed, you and me are we Me And You singing in the park Me And You, were waiting for the dark. I think said that america is unique. Unlike every other nation on earth. We were founded based on an idea. The independent free nation still held hundreds of thousands of black people in slaver. We are in the 1850s In America. This last Years Trip around the sun was another head scratcher. Lets remember that we are babies. As a country. We will go through growing pains. We are going through growing pains. That 1850 Reference Right before the Civil War. Back with our panel. Bill, your thoughts, is Independence Day controversial . Yes tturns out to be. Matthew is ridiculous. We lived longer under a single document than any other nation in The World. These disenting voices are saying we are a bad place. Systemic white privilege everywhere. Thats not what most people think. The elite think otherwise. You get the people on the left wing of the Democrat Party and an uprising. The big media, google, Facebook And Twitter and hollywood, the universities, all of them are in agreement on this. Unifying symbols are no longer unifying symbol. Maybe even the flag. This is insanity. There is a culture Civil War. We have to win it. Harold, your thoughts . I am not bothered by how people who choose to celebrate the 4th. I instill in my children the basics of our nation. We are great, we are young and we strive to be more perfect every day. The Rhythm And Energy of our country is moving forward and speaking higher ground. Trey gowdy, bring us home. The truth doesnt change. I celebrate the fact i live in a country that acknowledge there is is a truth is in pursuit of a more perfect union. Folder and i have been equal from the day we are born. I celebrate a country that values truth and wants to pursue a more perfect whine. Thats worth celebrating flaws and all. Amen to.

So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the 1 prescribed biologic for people with crohns disease. The majority of people on Humira Saw significant Symptom Relief in as little as 4 weeks. And many achieved remission that can last. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections. Serious and sometimes fatal infections, including tuberculosis, and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Tonight, the panel gives us A Look at tomorrows headlines. Leo soft. A lead us off. For the first time, i have no pride at all in being american. 35 say they are proud or very proud and another 30 arent sure where they are. Thats a record low in terms of pride In America for the younger generation. We have work to do. I say that not just as a former secretary of education but as a father and our grandfather.
