on, they would be baffled. we have small border town that is 35,000 down here and it is ridiculous we are getting illegals entering the area rate of 1000 a day. >> carley: certainly is, thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. the next hour of "fox and friends first" starts right now. the fbi is denying allegations a swat team was used to arrest a pro-life activist while his wife and children were home, mark houck 's wife is telling us about it. >> todd: the man's arrest gaining national attention while fbi claims he was taken into

custody without incident and the agency did not respond to claims 25 agents were involved. >> carley: brooke singman has more. brooke. >> brooke: the father of seven was arrested and charged with assault last year. there are inrack rat claims be -- agents knocked on his door, identified themselves and asked him to exit the residence, he did so and was taken into custody without incident. his wife said, they said they would break in if he didn't hope it and had five guns pointed at my husband, myself and basically our kids and said there was a swat team of 25 people with 15

vehicles at the residence. conflicting claims come as mike lee expresses the public's growing mistrust in the fieb. listen. >> i think there is significant concern within the fbi headquarters, agents are using to weaponize criminal law enforcement system at federal level. >> brooke: the father brought his son to listen to him speak at the time of the alleged assault on the clinic escort and claim the escort personally invaded their son's space, shouting things. if convicted he faces maximum sentence of 11 years in prison. >> carley: thank you, huge discrepancy in stories here, his wife saying the kids just woke up, it was 7:00 in the morning,

fbi surrounds the house, guns drawn. she asked for an arrest warrant, they say it doesn't matter if they have one or not, describing a situation like this man is a violent gang member and the fbi says none of that is true, they knocked on the door and asked him to leave the home and he did and it was more of a peaceful situation. i think we need to figure out which version of events is accurate. if the fbi is telling the truth here, is that overreach of power, especially when you consider the fact that what went on with pro-life centers and fire bombing of those centers and not a single person has been arrested there, there is clear dis discrepancy in how pro-life activists are being treated. >> todd: we had assistant

director of the bureau on, and chris chris swecker had this to say, listen. >> i cannot see circumstances here that in any way justify the use of a swat team for ordinarily a misdemeanor assault if what is alleged in the warrant is true. dawn raid, guns drawn, that is reeverybody issed for gang members, people who are armed and dangerous. i read the warrant and don't see facts and circumstances that justify that. if you zoom out and look at this alleged politicization of the fbi, i say this, i am hearing from people, former fbi executives, police chiefs, heads of state agencies who have been big supporters of the fbi, who are fairly disgusted with what just happened. >> todd: and fact he is saying that is chilling and every

conservative should hear that and i don't want to say freak out, but they could be going after you next, i don't mean to be hyperbolic. the wife said they were sued in civil court and it was tossed out, yet the fbi coming at them. >> carley: that is what i was about to bring up, this case was thrown out in district court of philadelphia issue but somehow the doj found out about it and is moving forward with this case and this guy is facing 11 years in prison. it goes to overall point of a doj that is politicized. you have timothie tebow, who was

in charge of the hunter biden laptop investigation and downplayed it before the election, why would he do that if not for political reasons? >> todd: all an attack on conservatives and it is scary. >> carley: the white house is doubling down on divisive maga rhetoric. white house advisor and former mayor kechalance botoms had this to say yesterday. >> what we see with maga agenda is to disrupt democracy. it is important to call out any efforts there is to destroy the united states of america. >> carley: white house maintains only segment of the republican

party poses a threat. >> todd: italy elected a new prime minister, meloni would be the country's first female prime minister. it is part of tide across europe and the chief is warning, my approach is that whatever democratic government is willing to work with us, we're working together. i've spoken about hungary and poland, we have the tools. what does that mean? sweden surprised american progressive, elected a conservative woman as prime minister. interesting. breaking now, ian has strengthened into a hurricane, florida bracing for impact,

we'll track the storm all morning long. >> carley: crime topping abortion as leading issue, should this be a wake-up call for democrats? raymond lopez is a democrat and he will answer that question coming up for us next. it's the all-new subway series menu. twelve irresistible new subs. the most epic sandwich roster ever created. ♪

>> todd: nypd on a man hunt for career criminal who was once poster child for bail reform after he shot up a car outside saint patrick's cathedral. >> ashley: pedro hearn /* hernandez is wanted. in 2017 he refused a plea deal for shooting a 15-year-old, the case got national attention and he was bailed out by the rob f.

kennedy foundation. he has since been arrested. a defense attorney said in 2019 that the nypd is targeting him. crime continues to soar in new york city, robbery, felony assault and burglary are up between 17 and 38% year over year and in new york, gubernatorial hopeful lee zeldin says if he wins, he will work to get rid of bail reform. he said one item is the opgsz of declaring an emergency on crime where the cashless bail law can be suspended. back to you. >> todd: group of robbers shown bashing a public train passenger in the head with a wine bottle right after stealing his cash. police are searching for the suspects. crime continues to run rampant

across the city's transit system. raymond lopez joins me now. why doesn't chicago have a team in place already? seems like that fact is invitation to the criminals. >> it is amazing after 30 years of disbanding the mass transit unit in chicago we are not moving quickly to reengage and reenact this unit in chicago, where we have seen violent crime nearly double. in 2020, acting superintendent beck through the police doesn't had 250 members strong with four detectives and now we're down to 140 officers rotating through the police department to be on the train with no sustained effort to keep public

transportation system safe and u user friendly and it's become a conduit plaguing our community and spreading throughout chicago. >> todd: how do 140 cops cover the massive transit system? >> it is simply not possible, think about the fact there are not 140 officers on duty everyday, that is 145 officers through three shifts seven days a week, probably 70 officers, if we're lucky, work on a system that supports 100,000 a day and criminals know they can get away with things like we saw in the video, that pain sxfl horrific video and all we hear are book bans to abortion while never recognizing victims on public transportation being attacked and assaulted everyday in city

of chicago, we need a dedicated unit keeping people safe. >> todd: american people seem to get it, crime topping abortion as highest priority with republicans taking a 14% lead on the issue. we know you are a democrat, how many reminders do your party need before they take crime seriously? >> i think what we're seeing is many democrats are doing the great pivot, trying to step back from their left-leaning pro-criminal policies, trying to pivot back to saying they are for safe communities and cities and will be judged by their actions and unless they were democratic leaders willing to stand up and defend people, they will have a hard time going into the november election and elections for years to come, no one will forget the unease and

feeling of unsafe neighborhoods up to this point. public safety is not partisan and many are learning that lesson way too late. >> todd: you would think people would want to help fellow man stay safe, their number one job, yet democrats, you notwithstanding, have gone away from that. we wish you luck in your campaign. florida bracing for hurricane ian as the storm is on the way to the u.s., national guard activated and state of emergency declared. >> carley: and arizona woman charged with trafficking hundreds of illegal immigrants into the country at rate of $15,000 per person, how can border agents combat smuggling from inside our own borders? tom homan is here next.

the tampa area. we are starting to rein foo the forecast and get details where we think this will make landfall. look at wednesday and thursday, that cone of uncertainty gets wider. we need to watch big bend of florida, panhandle and southeast getting into friday and saturday. this storm will be big, it will impact all of the coastline, not just a section of it, here is official forecast and computer models, you will notice computer models are going toward the west a bit. pay attention to that because this storm could crawl up the coast and hit the panhandle, that is why i want the whole state of florida to watch this over the income couple days. we have a few days to prep for this, all indications this will be a major hurricane in the next 24 to 48 hours because the water

is remember wa, not much to hinder this, it will not go over a lot of land in cuba and get into the gulf of mexico. expecting west coast of florida to expect tropical storm force winds and hurricane force winds getting into wednesday and thursday.

-- she has been smuggling hundreds of migrants into the country and charging them $15,000 per person to enter the united states, tom homan is

retired acting ice director and joins us now. tom, she has been smuggling 80 to 100 migrants a month into the u.s. for the past six months. she is reportedly a u.s. citizen, what can we learn from this case? >> sounds like a typical smuggling case. it sounds like she was the operator of the load house, detain illegal aliens. when she receives money, they send them on their way. i read the story, sounds like she got in the argument with a relative and that relative went to the host and found illegal

imgrantss there. we opened our own house in order to dismantle them. she ran a load house and looking at a lot of jail time for it. >> carley: we rarely see the face of the smugglers, she looks like a child, interesting to see her mug shot and another reminder how frequently this happens on both sides of the border. there is a report that venezuela is possibly releasing prisoners and sending them into the united states to cross in illegally, how easy for border patrol to determine the criminal background of these people? >> it is true, it has been verified by several sources

issue these are hardened criminals and you have 900,000 gotaways since joe biden took office. a lot of countries don't have criminal check systems. if they run fingerprints, might not find criminal history on these people. these are people that want to be gotaways and continue their criminal activity, emtremely concerning about this. when biden doesn't secure the border, criminals will come across and get away. >> carley: there is some interesting comments made by national security council spokesman john kirby and he says

president biden has been pushing for record funding to secure the border. >> this administration, we push for record-level funding for dhs, there upon wasn't support on the republican side. we are push forward advanced technology on the southern border. what is frustrating continued opsigsz from the republican side for initiatives we want to put in place. >> carley: tom, what do you make of his comments? >> kirby doesn't know what he is talking about, they want millions to release aliens, that is what he wants. same path many other administrations took, it is not a money problem right now, the

trump administration proved this is a policy issue, all they have to do is reimplement remain in mexico and they will have the same success the trump administration did, move illegal immigration to 83% decrease, a 40-year low. it is a policy issue, they know they inherited the most secure border in my lifetime and by abolished every trump policy, it is not a money issue and they know this. >> carley: it is interesting to hear john kirby, the first biden administration official admit record levels of funding is needed to secure the border, it is so insecure right now 6789 thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me.

detective work, that could be interesting. regular folks will go out and help the police, they need them on the ground in the city. >> carley: the pay is so low to be a police officer, even in like new york city, where the cost of living is so high and base salary is like $40,000. i was talking to one police commissioner and i was like, i think every police officer should get $200,000 base salary, they are so underpaid. >> cheryl: they are underpaid and there are not enough of them. in chicago, you were talking about chicago earlier, you have all this happening, there is not a lot of incentive to be a police officer, they will hire since they lost folks and looking to hire 150 civilians, again, desk work, but still --

toss-up. presidents more popular and competent than joe biden in bill clinton and barack obama, and joe biden can only afford to lose four seats. voter at 86% are disapproving of the direction of the country, hard to see how democrats retain the house. >> todd: how is the president responding in he is attacking republicanings and their policies. >> president biden: republicans want to preserve constitutional freedom, that sounds great, but look at what they have done, maga republicans control and that is self-evident. >> todd: joe, is every republican maga? everything is racist call from the left? >> joe: oh, boy, todd, i hate to

be shameless, but come on, man. this is classic deflection by president who can't run on his own policy and looks desperate because it is. this is what his handlers tell him to say, so here we are. some voters are naive enough to believe that joe biden was unifier and moderate and given what he's done in terms of historic spending in the middle of a recession. every sober study and analysis, he has been shown to be anything but a unifier and anything but moderate in terms of actions to lower inflation. >> carley: mention the title of your book, and congratulations on it, tell us about it. >> joe: you know, it is about not just the joe biden

absolutely no agenda to run on and everything they have done since joe biden has come into office has turned the country upside down. so, what a surprise that hillary clinton would do something like this. >> todd: chilling language and hypocrisy when you have an 18-year-old kid killed allegedly because they accused him of being a republican extremist, yet, the media ignores that completely. it's sad the hypocrisy we have to deal with on day in and day out basis. congressman, let me get your thoughts on this. tim ryan joined by teacher union head randi weingarten and musician paul simon while campaigning this weekend. putting aside the celeb paul simon for a second. let's face it, celebs always seem to go for the democrat. if you want to know what kind of policies, especially coming with your kids doesn't campaigning with left wing activist randi weingarten really give you the answer you need? >> no. no, it's not.

i can tell you it's going to backfire. people in ohio, particularly parents, they are more concerned about getting their kids back in school. they are more concerned about the social development of their kids. they know that living under niece liberal -- the mandates for masking, the teachers that didn't -- that wanted to get paid but wanted to stay home to work. no. this is going to backfire on them. j.d. vance is going to win this election because he believes as we do. that we need -- we need a country that is safe. we need a government that's accountable. we need an economy that is strong. those are the things that republicans are campaigning on and those are the things that ohioans believe as well. >> carley: yeah. in a new abc news "the washington post" poll, president biden's approval rating is 39%. and just 35% of democrats are
