The question is how and why did the 40yearold building suddenly give way . And Rudy Giuliani gets his law license suspended following the election. Is the former attorney getting disbarred . Its Way Too Early for this. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early, the show that kind of feels like summer is really flying by. Im kasie hunt on this friday, june 25th. Well start with the news. Politics and the Infrastructure Deal that was introduced by the white house and a group of bipartisan senators yesterday. The president celebrated the deal but said its just a start. The framework that was released by the white house allocates 6 trillion. To get the deal, dell carats had to concede in investment and climate and other measures like child care, education, and paid family leave. Theyre planning to put those measures in a separate budget reconciliation bill, hoping to ease concerns to progressives about this, he said hell only sign the deal if there are other guarantees that come right along with it. Weve all agreed that none of us got all that we wanted. I clearly didnt get all i wanted. This reminds me of the days we used to get an awful lot done. We actually worked. We got a bipartisan deal. We agreed on what we could agree on, the physical infrastructure. There was no agreement on the rest. Were going to have do that through the budget process, and we need a fair tax system to pay for it all. Im not going to rest until both get to my desk. So by move forward with this twotrack system, are we putting the bipartisan bill in jeopardy . Sure. Look. The bipartisan bill from the very beginning was understood. There was going to have to be a second part of it. Im not signing the bipartisan bill and forgetting the rest i proposed. I proposed significant piece of legislation in three parts, and all three parts are equally important. It was a tale of two press conferences, endorse the agreement in one breath and threaten to veto it in the next. Less than two hours it almost makes your head spin, an expression of bipartisanship and then an ultimate on behalf and then an ultimatum on behalf of your left wing base. What the republican leader did not say is whether he would support said bipartisan agreement. Joining us now, mike memoli. Its always good to see you. Whenever i listen to Mitch Mcconnell say things like that, i cant help but remember he used the Reconciliation Process to force through massive tax cuts without any support from democrats, but that aside, it was a little bit unusual to hear a president embrace an agreement on the one hand and turn around and say, well, if you dont give me this other thing, i will veto this other thing we literally announced just today. Its not sitting superwell with republicans who feel a little bit taken aback, slash, sidelined on this is. How concerned are they about progressives getting out of line . Yeah, kasie. I had the same reaction to yesterdays backtoback announcements that Mitch Mcconnell did, which is one of those announcements, seeing the president come out to the sticks outside the west wing. You never see the president go out to the press. He has a room for which to speak. Habits die hard. It was a chance to bolster true. Hes been there before. He wanted to bolster the work of the bipartisan group, the moderate democrats like manchin. This is what hes been wanting to do all along. Then the east room event was definitely a message to his own democratic progressive caucus with sort of a twin message. One is, were going to get what we want, this is all part of the grand plan, stick with me here, and, two, dont look a good thing in the mouth here, you know. But you understand why republicans, especially Republican Leadership would have issues here. What really is a compromise in which the things the democrats took off the table in order to reach a deal with republicans only then get put into another legislative vehicle that they say they have to pass in order to approve both. And so thats really, i think, where you can see trouble ahead. I will concede that President Biden knows the Senate Better than i do. He made a point of calling us out yesterday, Playing Media Critic several times during his remarks in the east room yesterday. You and i have seen this movie before. You and i know yesterday was the beginning of the process, not the end of the process. That is true. Ill leave that aside. Mike, what do you think the timeline is on this . They want to get this done both of these things done by the end of july so theyre moving in tandem. Do you think thats realistic . Kasie, ive been thinking about it. When is the last time youve seen congress try to bite off two significant multitrilliondollar pieces of legislation in the end at the same time . I think the way the congressional leadership has outlined it, the senate needs to operate on one track while the house can potentially operate on another. I think yesterday, the blitz we saw, the officials fanning out trying to sell this as well, is try to build momentum before people can take stock of this really, try to make it seem like its a done deal. Its going to be a real tricky act. I asked the president what assurances do you have from democrats in the house and senate that they will approve both of this, and he bristled at the question. Really, its the only question that matters. So the white house is going to be spending a lot of time focused, even on its own side of the aisle. It always takes longer than anyone says its going to take, so lets bear that in mind. Now to this. Such a difficult story. Searchandrescue efforts continue in florida nearly 24 hours after half a condo Building Collapsed. Officials say 99 people remain unaccounted for after 12 stories of this 155unit building crumbled. They worked to save a trapped boy yesterday and there are reports to rescue others as well. Dozens of fire and police crews are desperately searching for any survivors. Miamidade fire has been on the scene since the very beginning and most of the efforts are being concentrated underground. Nothing seems to be going on on top. All operations are occurring underneath the rubble. Theyre occurring underneath the Parking Garage where we have teams of firefighters constantly as they continue to make cuts, reaches, and placing sonar devices, search cams to locate victims. So awful. One person is dead while nearly a dozen others are hurt. There are 102 people declared safe. And were waiting for more details when another News Conference is scheduled. Joining us now from surfside is nbc news correspondent sam brock. Thanks for joining us so early after working so hard. Theres been some rain there overnight. Whats the latest with the searchandrescue efforts . Reporter look. Its not raining now. Thats a good thing, kasie. Theres no question the searchandrescue has faced a number of roadblocks basically since the weather started. This is florida. There are frequently strong thunderstorms. This overnight period was no different. As you look over my shoulder, you doll see some of the Dust Whipping around in the wind from that giant pile of rubble. We know how fragile it is. Some of the fire and rescue had to take cover when pieces of the debris were coming off the rubble based on how strong the storm was. If you look at the video from underneath the basement where they have been searching in the champlain towers, youll see a couple of feet of water. Theyre using sonar, listening for any sounds of life, and dogs on the outside traversing the rubble. We know this has been a real struggle even fires breaking out yesterday. They had to be extinguished. We could see the smoke from our Vantage Point a couple of blocks away. There have been some hurdles. There are 102 accounted for but 99 missing. It doesnt mean theyre missing, but theres the potential based on the number of units, that number exists. Were waiting for more information on that. President biden signed declaration of emergency at a federal level. Fema and others are trying to help coordinate earths here. Its an aroundtheclock effort at this point. You see impeachment waiting, huddled in blankets, waiting for hope. There are multiple phone lines. Authorities issues new phone lines so they can get updates at all times. Hopefully thats of small comfort to the families. Youre Hearing Generations of people missing right now. In the united states, many are coming from venezuela, paraguay, colombia, argentina. This is a melting pot for a lot of these countries. A lot of the folks are here over my shoulder. Were waiting for concrete information on where they stand. 99 is a very large number, and its heartbreaking at this point, but theyre certainly holding out hope. It is heartbreaking. Sam, very quickly, do we know anything more about what caused this . Reporter so, i spoke with a general contractor yesterday who said when you see failures like this, its very, very rare, exceedingly rare to see a Building Collapse like this without provocation. He said it has to be one of two things. The steel breaks or the concrete fails. The steel in the concrete that provides flexibility and strength of the structure, if they snap, the whole thing comes tumbling down. Is that what happened here . Its premature to speculate on that. We spoke with the owner of the condo. He said there are no signs this was imminent. There was a 40year inspection just performed, and they told us they were doing repairs to steel and concrete. Again, hes flabbergasted, shocked right now. With all the conversations with engineers, which have been going on for a long time, no one had raised red flags that Something Like this was remotely possible. Here we are today, and its the reality. Indeed. Nbcs sam brock. Thank you for your reporting.

Pelosi did not announce how large the panel will be or how shell distribute the seats. Meanwhile during a speech at the Reagan
