that originates from the northwest. it will bring the potential for heavy rain and severe weather and snow on the backside. this is sunday through tuesday. we need to pay attention to the midwest, the great lakes, ohio valley, mississippi and tennessee valley, significant snow across the mountains. then we have this east coast storm to come sunday, monday, sunday, monday it will issue and gusty winds. it will not be like a big flood maker, but we will have to watch it certainly as we get into monday and tuesday for the i-95 corridors. the rain forecast, not a lot of rain but gusty winds to make things messy on the latter part of the weekend. this is tropical rosslyn in the pacific. it could become a hurricane and thin curve towards mexico this weekend and actually bring some moisture into the southwest of the planes. here is the forecast today, warming things up, quiet forecast today and tomorrow and things start to ramp up this

>> todd: are there certain situations you won't be able to respond to any more? no, i think we will still respond. it is a matter of time of when we can get there and that is unacceptable for a police department. >> todd: you are not the only one, missouri facing office shortages. an increase later on this year. what do you think is the main cause of this? >> well, i think it is a lot of things. i think pay is an issue in st. louis, but we have prosecutors in st. louis that absolutely awful. that is a huge region. people don't want to, and the policeman in the bigger cities feel the support from the elected officials. people are just not doing the job anymore because of that. >> todd: the mayor, like you said, it's not sufficient. what is your response to that? >> have been on the city police department for 17 years and this

is the worst it has ever been. we don't have the people on the street. i know she likes to compare us to cities, similar size, but they don't have the ground that we have. or the events that we have in a lot of things that we have. what she thinks she is going to get away with with 1,000 policeman is not going to do it. >> todd: how much is due to the officer sang the defund the police department has made us bigger targets. i can go get a job that pays more and i don't have to put my life on the line and even more so with people aiming for me. look at the situation in my home state of connecticut. i mean, it is horrible what you guys have gone through. >> but is absolutely awful. st. louis, they have backed off the defund the police movement, but they really happened. the mayor defining the place by just not hiring anybody or not paying anybody and not supporting them. she has changed her message but it is the same thing. it's going to mention medical

inspected by them. if you find anything in candy boxes that you might believe it is narcotics, do not touch it and immediately notify law enforcement agency. how concerned should parents be about this? >> look, i would be very concerned. this is a scary story and if i had young children to, i would inspect the candy because if one person is doing this, certainly more could be doing this. and that was like 12,000 pills. that is a lot of kids that could be dead if this actually got passed through. >> carley: there are a lot of people calling for increased penalties to drug dealers who are distributing fentanyl. beth d.a. george gas cone out of los angeles, he is not one of them. take a listen to his stance on this. >> we have to be mindful. we have been down this road before the so-called war on drugs. and we know the increase for drug offenses does not save lives. we need to learn from the

strafailedstrategies of the pasr to find solutions for the future. >> carley: if he does not increase penalties and he is the guy likely prosecuting the lax case. what do you think about this? >> that is hard to believe given the puzzling devastation to our communities. we are talking 12,000 pills if you touch them, you could end up possible damage to your body or a possible death. so i absolutely disagree with this guy. there are no doubt other countries have more severe penalties and less trouble with drugs. if you make the penalty lenient, you will have more trouble with drugs. if more severe, it is a natural tendency. if a reader penalty, you will think twice about doing it. >> carley: makes a lot of sense to me what you just said. and also come i want to ask you what you think about this new ts put up to cost the tech here is a lot of money. it is specifically for the migrants being bused from your state of texas and apparently only five people living in it

google for allegedly collecting people's biometric data such as faces and voices without their permission. that sounds terrifying. what do people need to know about this? >> well, look it is a violation of state law to collect information and it's called facial geometry and keeping people's personal information. these companies are probably disclosing it and they are not allowed to do it. it is a simple worth thousands of dollars to individual people. and these companies like google should be held responsible, and we are going to do that. >> carley: we reached out to google for comment on this but they did not respond, but we will definitely watch that unfold. attorney general ken paxton, thank you so much. >> have a great day. >> carley: you are very welcome you all's too. >> todd: some people applied for joe biden student relief program and now their personal information might be at risk. >> coming up. ♪ ♪

state and local officials, they need to find their voice on this really fast. unequivocally and forcefully condemned the violence against law enforcement because we cannot go on like this. >> todd: joe, some more numbers october 50 police officers and 24 states including dustin demonte and alex hamzy shot in 2022. i want to drill down on the timing you alluded to in your first answer. is this all because of the defund the police movement that followed the killing of george floyd, or have the scenes for this kind of violence against cobs, were those seeds planted early? >> these were planted well back in 2015 with hands up, don't shoot that never happened. the justice department said that never happened that we had media and the politicians run with it and ever since treated law enforcement like crap in this country and we suffer the consequences. to do something to support law enforcement why don't you pass the protect and serve act

to make it a federal crime to intentionally assault a police officer in this country? we don't see movement on that bill. we see people patting us on the back now that midterms are coming around but no one stepping out to stop the violence. we need to be him mentally process anyone who assaults a police officer and make it clear there will be no for criminals who try to harm the law enforcement. >> todd: is this emblematic of a serious lack of respect for authority that we are seeing not just against cobs, but literally every aspect of our society? >> you know what, todd, let's be honest, there is a culture of lawlessness taking hold in this country. it's been going on several years now. that is why we see crime through the roof. last year 2021 was the highest rate of homicides we have seen in the country in 30 years. there is crime in everywhere you look in the urban communities. i mean, you cannot find u-haul trucks in the city because everybody is trying to get out.

we cannot continue like this as a society. we need to make sure we are holding criminals accountable. we need to make sure d.a.s and judge doing their job and you know what midterms are coming up and you have two paths down one is chaos and anarchy and the other is law and order. i know which one i'm standing on. and he went to go to the polls to vote for law and order candidates, that will turn the country around. >> todd: according to the polls -- proof is in the pudding. fraternal order police vice president joe gamaldi, think he was always, sir. carley. >> carley: we told you about new hampshire gas station who slashed prices to use energy policies. >> if we do not jump up to the price increases, my inventory will shrink to a day where i have to close. maybe that is what the president wants. >> carley: he delivered and more stating message to the president right here on "fox & friends first." and we will share it with you live next.

cycle i find that so depressing. >> keeping gas prices low is important to strengthening the future of our democracy. >> without underlying functioning democracy, it doesn't matter what your gas prices are, baby. >> joe concha joins us now. seems like the liberal cheerleaders are already asking like sore losers act like they are losing big time. democracy what say you? >> nothing like the richest 1% members of the media talking about how we have to suck it up whether it comes to gas prices are inflation when we buy clothes or mortgage rent or electric bills. because saving democracy is more important. such ridiculous hyperbole. if they would get out of their bubble and talk to people at a tailgate at a football game or birthday party. they will see people are concerned more concerned about what they pay for every day

easily trumps what is seen as a threat to democracy. family roomer pollster released a poll for harvard katz. near the bottom is january 6th. at the top, inflation, gas prices, crime, the border. >> carley: nancy pelosi just did an interview where it was pointed out to her that the abortion issue isn't resonating with voters the way it used to be. she dismissed the idea and said no all americans still care about abortion. do you think that she is just saying that for the cameras or do you think democrats are worried and changing their strategy here? >> they are panicking at this point. because there is 18 days to go and they know that gas prices aren't going to reverse from the upward tilt they have taken and inflation isn't going to carry itself. pressing one issue they think will get their base out to have the polls. but, in the end, republicans are for more energized going into the election, carley than democrats than the reasons we just laid out. it's the economy, stupid. >> carley: gas price and the economy for sure.

why isn't mark kelly in arizona? we know the reason. this president is toxic. they know that if they are seen with him at a campaign event, that campaign ad goes out about 18 section because in georgia, arizona, ohio, those states, carley. the president is polling far below where he is nationally. >> and usually at this time think about the trump rallies that the former president was holding for republican candidates during the midterm elections last cycle.

of democrats don't want the president to seek a second term they say he is too old. when he sounds like that in the campaign trail it's disconcerning. >> carley: if he does run in 2024. he can't hide in the basement anymore. the pandemic is over. what's he going to do. >> 86-year-old joe biden in office if he were to have a second term. >> carley: thank you. appreciate.
