>> laura: they were a bunch of noble people. the words were in a tastier edition. >> this is an important civil rights achieved by bipartisan way. by caramel bipartisan support was had for this piece of legislation. this piece of legislation was done in a bipartisan by caramel way. ♪ ♪ >> carley: a fox news alert, our southern border is under siege. the cameras capture of the repeated mass release of hundreds of migrants and a parking garage in brownsville, texas. border patrol is releasing ten per day. >> todd: there have been half a million migrant encounters at the southwest border since october. to visualize that, that is enough to fill the super bowl stadium in glendale, arizona, nearly eight times. and that is before title 42 set to set to end back next week.

you are watching "fox & friends first" on a wednesday morning, i'm todd piro. >> carley: carley shimkus. a border in el paso taxes after caravan moved in over the weekend. kevin corke joins us live from washington with the very latest, kevin. >> good morning, guys. you are talking about chain-link fences and you talk about the border wall which could certainly have been completed by now and does make you call into question what the administration could possibly be thinking. to say things along the southern border are beyond crisis stage is frankly an understatement. so many illegal aliens on u.s. soil and thousands more across the border in violation of our laws each and every day, the border patrol as you pointed out, corley, reduced to mass release them by the bus loads to texas. title 42 set to expire ten to mike soon renewed urgency on

capitol hill to somehow, someway convince the biden administration to act. so you may be wondering how bad might things get? consider the estimated number of border crossings if title 42 ends, we are probably looking at around... 14,000 per day, 420,000 per month, 5 million plus per year. but even has frustration and fears about about the untenable nature of the crisis, critics argue the white house continues to frankly downplay the magnitude of the issue. case in point, what the dhs secretary told the el paso times, "we are experiencing a challenge of migration throughout the hemisphere challenge. a state depends on its face with relics of critics to assail the white house for not having a plan to not just address the problem, but to end the problem.

which is the administration's responsibility under the law. >> republicans are asking how are we going to secure the border? i listed the ways we tried to work on that. we are also wanting to do this in a bipartisan way. >> and as millions continue to come into our country, we have no idea who they are. what their intentions are and quite frankly critics argue we can't predict on americans who are already struggling in an economy who have to compete with many of them for jobs, housing, health care, education and the like. >> president biden is tripling down on his chaotic border policy. he's going to make it so far worse not only the children traffic and the men and women as well being abused and being taken advantage of and being turned into slavery, being used for sex. but now americans are dying.

it is already too late. they need to lock down the border. >> just unbelievable. now, there is a bipartisan group of lawmakers who penned a letter to the president asking the white house to please extend the cdc's title 42 border be on the upcoming deadline, which, of course, the 21st of december it ends but no decision has been made even as time is running out, carley and todd to. >> carley: for not responding to the bipartisan effort just yet so we will have to wait and see. kevin corke live for us, thank you so much. let's bring in national border presidents art del cueto. art, title 42 is still in place but order to get into the country now but next week when it is lifted. why are we seeing this big surge right now and is this a foreshadow of things to come? >> i mean it is happening because there's nothing we can do anything about it.

the agency arrested over 1,000 per month. now, it has moved up to 8,000. so title 42, it would just blow up so badly. they are not talking about -- [indistinct] we have no idea who they are in the amount of drugs coming in because the cartel still running the southern border, they know particularly where to put the group. they know the agents and the administration instead of guarding the line and then bringing drugs over. the drug cartels when title 42 goes away, it will be complete chaos. [indistinct] >> todd: i think that is clearly problem number one. kevin corke got into problem 1a. what happens to our

infrastructure? how pertinent is it going to be? art, dhs worst-case scenario 18,000 migrants per day could come. that equates to more than 6 million people per year. how can our country from a social services perspective, to our infrastructure, to our housing handle such a large number? >> just getting released, i'm sorry i misspoke. i said per month, it is actually per day that we are arresting, 8,000 per day right now. these are not built to detain these people and what needs to be done? we talk about how bad it is, but bring back policies at work. start detaining these individuals. don't just release them into the united states. if you start detaining them, that alone will deter the amount of people coming across. because the reality is that we have seen it, they know all

these people coming and asking for asylum, they are not asking asylum -- what it is doing to the system, it is broken. the border is officially broken at this point. >> carley: arts, the biden administration is asking for $4 billion to combat illegal immigration once title 42 is repealed. $2 billion for ice with care and processing. but outside the money, the biden administration hasn't said anything how they will deal with this increased number of people trying to come across. karine jean-pierre did say yesterday, they are working to combat misinformation that the border is open. >> well, the misinformation has been pushed from this administration for some time now think the border is secure and the reality is it hasn't been secure since this administration took over. it has been chaotic from day

number one. they contorted all they want but the reality is what is going to come is -- they process faster. a system of guarding the border where you are just coming across and that is not going to work. >> carley: money doesn't do a whole lot if the policy isn't in place to back it up. art, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. all right, a warning, this next video may be difficult for someone to watch here at the the florida police officer choke a gnomic joking and breathless after a fentanyl stop, watch this. >> rodney, she's not breathing

here again. >> carley: wow, the fellow officers is lifeless and needed three doses of narcan to revive her. they say she was wearing gloves and blue fentanyl was blown into her face from a dollar bill found inside the car that they were apparently searching. the officer was hospitalized and is expected to make a full recovery. a body camera, god bless her. that is the reality of what police face possibly on a day-to-day basis especially how the increase of fentanyl has become. this exclusive manages obtained by fox show this white car driving by a gas station around 3:45 the murderers of four university high school students. they were killed between 3:00 and 4:00 a.m. the police are searching through hours of surveillance footage in moscow and noticed it looks similar to this white a long

trip. it could be crucial to cracking the case. meanwhile, the police with body foot camera edge. and the background a group of people seen walking across a field in between this frat ho house. where the students were murdered and it comes as they claimed the knife used in the attack would have told quickly would have caused injury to the killer themselves. >> todd: south carolina congressman exposing a far left activist who called democrats, i should say as a witness for oversight hearing on extremist threats and got to witness to agreed that violet language is a threat to democracy and she confronted them. watch as. >> only a few weeks after the attempted attack on june 25th, 1 of the witnesses tweeted out the following response to a decision on abortion the sixth justices

who overturned roe should never have peace again. it is our civic duty to accost them every time they are in public. they are pariahs. since women don't have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again. >> i do not believe that is a correct characterization. >> did you not tweet that the supreme court justices should be accosted? >> that is not a characterization of my statements. >> todd: not in accurate characterization question market is low there really written down. there was no block in real life to keep her safe from being exposed as a violent and citing fraud. that is the key take away, what nancy mace did is crucial to expose situations like this. individuals like this for the hypocrisy that they tried to

force on us at every turn. use all that tweet, right? what is the bigger threat to democracy than extra dude gnomic judicial pressure on the supreme court justices? you don't get a free pass to say whatever you want because you claim you are calling out threats to democracy. let's remember we had an assassination attempt on justice brett kavanaugh, words like -- i'm not saying because that incident but certainly don't help. >> carley: this is a house hearing on extremist rhetoric. so, how did you have a witness with that kind of twitter history testify on rhetoric? that is something the witnesses will hold a little bit better. and also a harvard law instructor. if i'm working with young people in 20 that kind of stuff. what nancy mace did he she asked the witnesses, do you think extreme rhetoric is a threat to democracy? and of course nancy mace pulled up the street where this person

said, it is our civic duty to accost the six supreme court justices who voted to overturn roe v. wade. every time they are in public, they are pariahs. after this exchange went viral on social media and alexandra cara bio responded, she was caught off guard by question like this. if you are going to be a hypocrite who advocates violence online, you probably should do it testifying in my committee. >> todd: i think you are onto something and you highlighted two things the one the fact this individual was not vetted from their tweets and this individual was surprised that she receive that line of questioning. that goes to a pure issue and i'm glad you pointed to the outcome of the left thinks they are completely justified and no words that they use have any consequences, but only those on the right have consequences to their words. and that is why what nancy mace did is crucial at the top

pointing out this hypocrisy. >> carley: also nancy mace said january 5th, she was accosted by a constituent and one of her constituents in washington, d.c., so she carries a gun wherever she goes. her point of this whole exercise was that extremist rhetoric can happen on the right, and it can also happen on the left. it is not a one-sided issue. >> todd: what happens on the right, the left needs to call that out and not be completely silent every time it happens to somebody on the right. >> carley: the top justice department admitting the department targeted pro-life activists after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. she said the ruling stepped up the doj's work saying, "including enforcement of the phase act to ensure continued lawful access to reproductive services." the face act makes it illegal to injure, intimidate or interfere with someone seeking abortion.

the critics pointed out that is used to 26 people this year and 77 pro-life medical centers and offices of pro-life group have been attacked since a drafted supreme court opinion to overturn roe v. wade in may. fts dr. sam bankman-fried led out of court in handcuffs yesterday. that is very interesting footage right there. >> todd: "the new york post" covering it today, the cover of "new york post" with markings of disgraced for embezzling millions and asking the human court to grant him bail. brooke singman joins us with the latest. >> the federal indictment of bankman-fried with revealing additional charges of wire fraud to money laundering. >> this is one of the biggest frauds in american history. his contributions disguised to look like coming from wealthy coconspirators where, in fact,

funded by alameda research, stolen customer money. in all of this dirty money was used in service of bankman-fried 'desire to buy bipartisan influence and impact the direction of public policy in washington. >> a separate sec complaint also accusing bankman-fried of illegally scaring millions with federal campaigns with real estate and to himself. those dirty money donations raising questions yesterday with growing calls for those who accepted donations tied to ftx, democrat or republican to return the funds. but the white house is not commenting. watch. >> so i'm covered here by the hatch act limited on what i can say in anything connected to political contributions from here, i would have to refer you to the dnc. >> the president, does he want those people? >> u.s. make two questions will

he return donations and you asked about his opinion. i'm asking the first part, i'm covered by the hatch act from here and i'm limited on what i can say. >> carley: inc. men freed awaits extradition to the u.s., the successor at ftx ceo testified before congress on what led to the historic collapse. >> the ftx collapse with control in the hands of a small group of grossly inexperienced nonsophisticated individuals. failed to implement virtually any of the systems or controls that are necessary for the company entrusted with other people's money or assets. >> now, we wait to see how regulators attempt to return to between $1 billion, $2 billion missing from ftx, guys, back to you. >> todd: i can't get over harry potter, kudos to you, "the new york post," that is unbelievable well done. >> carley: brooke singman, thank you very much bankman-fried and democrats.

>> call him the crypto king. we call him -- he only cared about saving the whales. most democrats thought he was god. some had a hunch he might have been crooked, but they didn't want to ask questions. this guy was the second biggest donor and they couldn't shut off the faucet until the midterms were over but the democrats don't win the senate so conveniently right after the election, the story blows up. billions missing and running the biggest ponzi scheme in history, stealing cash and donating it to democrats. >> carley: brian brenberg will be here later to talk about all this to make sure you stick around for that. >> todd: former ceo jack dorsey maintains there was no political motivation behind what has been revealed in the twitter files. and the post written tuesday "i continue to believe there was no

ill intent or hidden agendas. mistakes were made but if we had focused more on tools for the people using the service rather than tools for us, it would move much faster toward absolute transparency. we probably wouldn't be in the situation of needing a fresh reset, which i am supportive of of." it contradicts the 2018 testimony with her twitter made bands with conservative voices from the platform. >> is this true of twitter? >> no. >> are you censoring people? >> no. >> twitter shadow banning prominent republicans. is that true? >> no. >> todd: in the meantime, introducing legislation that would ban all financial transactions with tiktok and prevent the chinese social media apps from making money here in the u.s. over fears it is being used to spy on americans and

sensor content. tiktok parent company is required under chinese law to share data with the communist party whenever requesting. senator marco rubio says "this isn't about creative videos but an app collecting data on tins of the millions of children and adults everyday and used to manipulate beads and influence elections. we know the answers to the people's republic of china. they are going after the money to put an end to that." >> carley: did you see aoc climate documentary? >> todd: i did not. >> carley: don't worry, it seems like nobody did. it bombed at the box office and worse than you probably think. >> todd: here is something you might have seen. >> i want to say for a second what you and the president has done. it is more than any other president since fdr and may be more than fdr. >> todd: get a room. teachers union randi weingarten singing joe biden's praises for their work on schools and

pandemic is still going strong. >> and here we are going into the third year of it and we are still in the middle of a pandemic with the numbers you just showed. we are getting cold weather. we are getting an uptick in cases. we are getting the holiday season where people are congregating indoors. i hope that is a call for people to realize how important it is to do that, to get vaccinated, to be careful, wear a mask, appropriate and indoor settings when you have a credit setting. >> todd: i thought president biden said the pandemic is over. dozens of counties in washington and new york city advising residents to wear masks in an effort with a triple epidemic of flu, covid and srv. >> carley: woke teachers with randy white and gordon raising eyebrows about president biden's record. >> what you and what the president has done, i can't even remember all of the pneumonic's of all of the things that have

been done and i'm a history teacher. it is more than any other president since fdr and may be more than fdr. >> carley: emma, critics say in lockstep with the biden administration for keeping schools closed, kids mast up ane theory in the classroom. joining us to discuss is holy and dana. good morning to you all, holly, how do you feel about randi weingarten's comment about president biden? >> it is absolutely absurd. we are talking about union boss and the worst rated president in america's history. they are just happy, randi weingarten, able to keep the schools closed as long as he did. ultimately creating more educational disparities in our nation and really solidifying

the need for educational choice for many parents. >> carley: and just think what randi weingarten said and look at the test scores in this country from 2019 to 2022 and fourth grade math is down five points, reading down three points and eighth grade, math is down eight points, ridding down three points. you can chalk that up to the pandemic lockdown and learning so how is anybody deserve praise when kids are struggling in school right now? >> she said during the interview that she can't even remember, and we can't either. we can't remember. we don't know what she's talking about when she's clambering over joe biden saying, oh, they've done so many wonderful things. at this point randy weingarten and joe biden are the education deniers. they denied our children an opportunity to learn during the pandemic which resulted in massive learning losses, teachers leaving the classroom

and we have raised disparities and race relations, excuse me the worst we have ever seen. this is what we are going to call a success? i would really hate to see what a failure looks like. >> carley: i think the question is the president has done a lot for the teachers unions but what's he done for the students when you look at test scores across the country. the dana you had high hopes for president biden when you elected him but how do you feel about him now? >> i'm extremely disappointed. i thought things would take a turn and would be politicized due to covid but everything has been the cause posted. randi weingarten basically writes the cold and flu guidance to adjust changes to the cdc had put forth that would allow their kids to go back to school full-time. biden didn't help our kids go back to school, all the parents that fund raised to sue the

school district and the governor, that is for going back to school and not biden. >> carley: how are your kids doing in school and overall how do we get education back on track in this country? >> i'm seeing the educational disparities within my own four children and it is heartbreaking to see because because those with educational choice, they are not experiencing the same thing that america's public school students have and continue to struggle with. i really think the solution is educational choice, school choice, educational freedom. allow parents to take that funding, following the child and give them a quality education that most entitled to. and bring the power back to the parents instead of the worst rated president in history and a union mob boss and put it back into the power of the parents.

>> carley: you look where arizona allowed the tax dollars to follow the kids to the best school choice possible for them. i think that it's really appealing and inspiring to a lot of parents. holly, dana, keisha, j thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: absolutely. now to a fox weather alert, a tornado storm causing blizzards across the midwest and the south. millions of americans are waking up in its path this morning, janice dean tracking it all next. >> todd: plus, out of atlanta a 77-year-old mother and grandmother found brutally murdered for walking in on a career criminal trying to steal her car from her own garage. the victim's son joins us next.

>> todd: a fox weather alert two people including a child are dead and 20 and 50 entered to slam partsf

louisiana. search and rescue operation still underway. in texas, five people reported injury in fort worth after storm spotted overnight after tornado warnings were issued. some still in the hospital. >> carley: crippling blizzards with no way states and the dakotas and nebraska, colorado, minnesota bureau the power of the winter storm expected to slam the northeast bringing wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour. senior meteorologist janice dean here with a fox weather forecast. she has a lot of action when it comes to the weather. >> this is a big storm system and was to have the risk for tornadoes. the last 36 hours over a dozen reports of tornadoes damage. of course, we have had deaths out of this and the storm moves across the mississippi river valley. we have ongoing tornado warning storms. so, this is moving through mississippi and then alabama, louisiana. it looks like we have tornado warnings and storms northeast of

bunkie. this is the tornado watch for taxes through louisiana and mississippi until 4:00 a.m. local time. 6:00 a.m. local time. this is the severe thunderstorm threat over the gulf coast the next several hours. so we have a very likely area that we could see the potential for damaging tornadoes. another day of this, then we have the flash flood watch where we see the potential for several inches of rain in a short period of time. there is a look at thursday where the heaviest rain will be through louisiana, mississippi, alabama. the cold side of the storm i talked about in the intro, the blizzard the northern plains, upper midwest and the orange area at the blizzard warnings and effect with snow rates 1-2 inches per hour and blowing snow makes it next to impossible to travel. i urge you to stay inside and look at the snow to come. over a foot on top of the feet we have already seen from this storm system. very dynamic.

then across the northeast as a coastal low and we could see heavy snow across the interior sections of the northeast. it will be mainly a rain event for the big cities all along i-95 corridors and the i.c.e. will be the biggest concern because you cannot travel when you have an i.c.e. storm and we are anticipating for parts of interior and northeast as well as appellations. there is the forecast along the coast, heavy rainfall, gusty winds and then we see the potential for snow for the interior northeast. eight to 12, some areas across northern new york up to new england, 12 to 18 inches which is great news for skiing, but we are dealing with ice. this will be in a storm friday for these areas including pittsburgh, harrisburg, down towards washington, d.c. i don't think we will see accumulating ice but it will be slippery and miserable for the drive on friday. so listen to your local weather officials to keep you posted.

here is the ice impact, you know, quarter of financial or less, the potential for minor power outages, but we talk about disrupting or crippling ice storm on friday. so we can come i need you to pay close attention to the weather officials foxweather.com and they were on it overnight with the tornadoes. they are your temperatures. you can see where the cold air remains in place for the northern plains and the rockies. you have the warm across the mic air across the south. that is why we see the main ingredients that you need is instability in the warm air and the cold air and the fact it is happening in december even though it can happen, that is quite an event. >> carley: absolutely, it certainly is. janet thank you so much. very, very important. turning to america's crisis, a horrible story of a 77-year-old grandmother who was brutally murdered during a carjacking at her home in a gated atlanta community. >> todd: the police a alleged

attacker is a career criminal with a very long rap sheet. jackie ibanez, jackie. >> good morning friends and family, a 77-year-old eleanor bowles a kindhearted friend, mother after allegedly stabbed to death by a career criminal. the police say eleanor bowles attacked in the garage of her home in the affluent bucket appear at the 77-year-old walked in the garage to find this man 22-year-old antonio brown attempting to steal her car. that is when the police a brown stabbed eleanor bowles to death before taking off with her lexus. her son, michael headed home for the holidays when he discovered her body. >> finding her like that is something that will be with me forever. what happened to mom was her worst nightmare. it is most people's worst nightmare. i want everyone to understand that none of us are really safe. if this could happen to mom, it

can happen to anyone. speak with the police say brown is being chased by cops before they lead stabbing after attempting to rob a nearby liquor store. he was arrested on suspicion of murder and faces a slew of other charges. the police if the suspect has a lengthy rap sheet and often in and out of jail. since this murder occurred 2 miles from the governor's mansion in a gated community. eleanor's friends say she moved to that community to feel safe. >> we are in a real crisis with safety. >> i know from being a friend of ellen's, 20 years, she was here to be safe. >> community members are banding together to call for change in atlanta's residence and they fear no where are you safe. >> this crime was completely avoidable. he has a rap sheet as long as your arm. enough is enough. this is the final straw for us. >> authority say that brown they had had an accomplishment to mike accomplice and this

senseless murder is ongoing this morning. >> carley: jack you thank you with that let's bring in michael bowles, eleanor son and founder in her garage. i cannot imagine the pain you are experiencing right now. walk us through that moment when you found your mom. >> thank you, todd, thank you for having me on. i would be happy to get into that but first, the media has been spending a lot of time talking about this which is such a blessing and we want to make sure of the story continues to get out but i want to say my mom was not an elderly woman. she would be horrified if she knew that peer that is how she was labeled. she was a very spry, beautiful, playful person. in fact, we had a ton of things we were getting ready to do over the holidays. she was an active member in the community. she was a member of multiple clubs, a book club, garden club.

and she was a military wife. she was an english teacher. she was a real estate agent. she had an incredible life. and she wasn't cordial with one of her best friends about a month ago. and she had a lifetime out of her. so one of the things we want to make sure it is her name is out there in her pictures out there. we want people to know there is one person behind this. >> todd: of course, that is something the mainstream media refers to anyone over 60 and older is elderly and obviously your mother was vibrant. please, walk through that moment, that horrific moment when you vent your mom. >> sure. i was on my way home for the holidays and my wife and i had been with my mom over thanksgiving and we drove back up to d.c. and would like to drive back and forth to bring animals and we like to have them in the car. so i was going to spend

new year's with her with my in-laws and everything else. so i was driving down. it is a ten hour drive. i actually spoke with her at 11:30, she sent my wife and by her rural score, that is a tradition we had and she sent that to me at 11:30 and i begin calling her at 2:00 with arrival time about 5:00. she didn't answer, which was unusual by the time i got to her home around 5:30, i figured something was wrong because that was unusual. and i thought maybe she had fallen and there was a health crisis. but i got there and i was on alert. i ran around back to see if her car was there and that is where i found her. >> todd: oh, my gosh, buck had used to be safe, but we've done countless stories, michael helped buckhead has got

progressively worse over the course of the last couple of years. was your mom afraid for her safety? had she talked how the community had changed? >> you know, the buckhead versus atlanta thing my understanding that is a big issue in the city. and i was born here and my wife was born here. i lived here until i was 18. you know, i can't comment too much on that. i know that is a polarizing thing but i want to say, the crime issue in this country is so much bigger than buckhead and so much bigger than atlanta. this is happening everywhere. and i want to say she felt safe and that is not, you need buckhead and most feel safe in our homes and want to explain to people and understand. none of us are as safe as we think we are. if enough people learn about the story, maybe we can all do

something about it. >> todd: you never expected anything like this to happen to your mom. >> i never expected that. >> todd: unbelievable. the man accused of killing your mom has a huge rap sheet including for assault. how sickening is it to think that if he was behind bars where he should have been in light of the crimes committed that your mom would be alive today? >> so we are aware of his prior crimes. the thing that sticks out to me and my family and the community is that the crimes seem to get progressively worse over time. that is a real important thing to think about when we think about how we might solve something like this. this person was progressively doing worse and worse things. and you know, it took, unfortunately the worst thing imaginable to finally get him caught. i think the community can do and

are taxpayer funded institutions can a better job of dealing with these people. you know, maybe he could have been helped earlier on, we don't know. it is too late for that now. obviously, but there was a failure there along the way. real quick, i want to say, the atlanta police department and the detective in this case and all of the people on that side of things have been incredible throughout this process. and i want to take this moment to really express my gratitude to them and to tell everyone that is listening to this, the police officers, that across the country they deserve our support. that is a huge problem right now. they want to help. i want to tell you that they want the help and they don't have the support they need. it is honest to change that. >> todd: you are 100% right on that. anybody watching jackie's peace, there is a sense that you are

calm, cool and collected right now but how are you holding up and able to be so calm, cool, collected with a tragedy that is just so fresh? this just happened, michael. >> that is right. you know, we are in the process of planning the funeral. it will be this sunday at the municipal church in atlanta. the way that i'm dealing with this is the support that we have received throughout this process has been unbelievable. my wife is here in the room with me and my brother is here in the room with me. our phones have been ringing off of the hook. we have people taking care of a lot of things that have to be taken care of in the wake of something like this. it has given me, my brother, my family a lot of time, really, to think about what we want to do. we collectively decided that we want to try to do something positive here by getting the message out. we are very thankful that we've had the support system that has allowed us to do that. >> you gave us a lot of

to police scanner traffic. chicago alderman once the police officer anthony napolitano who joins me know. good morning, we are talking about the fact that the city of chicago is moving from traditional police scanners to encrypted ones. why would chicago be doing that? >> you know, to be honest as chicago, former chicago police officer and firefighter i am a supporter and i have to tell you for years they've been talking about doing this here there is criminals out there that carry stuff and just like this. it is a handheld scanner device with crime at an all-time high and chicago. if we don't start encrypting some of these messages going across the radios, the criminal element is listening to everything we do. and chicago now, we have carjackings happening in broad daylight. we have robberies in daylight curing scanners with them and monitoring our police response.

i'm a huge advocate for information of power, but it is also strength and media to get the message out. this is something that needed to be done for a long, long time. we are being listened to and we are being monitored. and actually ties to the police getting to the problem situations and being listened by a criminal element and chicago. >> carley: that is actually a very good point. the problem is if the criminals can't your what is going on on the police scanners, which is a problem. you are absolutely right about that fear of the journalists can't either. there is a lot of people in the media speaking out and saving, this could cause censorship issues. the concern for police scanners, no question problem to the public and delayed access to unfolding events, delaying journalist access to live news. last week, i couldn't believe when i read this, out of a chicago courthouse, the police stripped in broad daylight.

a perpetrator fired more than 44 shots and then escaped. media organizations in the letter said the public did not see, hear or read about this crime when it was happening because of this new system. >> yeah, that is something i think that has to be worked out actually with the media as well. we have to give them the resources to monitor the radios as well. if the police and fire had the ability to listen to it with encrypted like messaging system set up, we have to be able to get it to the media too. you know when crime happens in the media gets information outcome it gives police a leg up and triangulating where criminals are or crisis situations, terrorist situations or chemical spills or anything like that. this has to be worked out in that way. >> carley: you think there could be sort of a compromise here where the media gets to hear what is going on on the police scanners but the criminals don't peer that sounds like a perfect solution. >> without a doubt. we have to have the media with us. especially the way crime is right now and terrorism, we need

quick reaction time. we have to work jointly because we don't have enough peace officers and chicago. we need the media information getting out there with civilians as well. >> carley: you know, alderman, there is a bail reform law that passed in illinois that will go into effect in january and basically eliminates all cash bail. what is chicago going to look like when it goes into effect? >> it is going to be a nightmare and anybody who supported the safety act, they should probably go home and destroy all the mirrors in their house because i don't know how they can look at themselves anymore. we are in the a crisis. crime is an all-time high and raising more. we take all the power out of the police his hands and the court systems as well. we have a revolving door in chicago. this isn't just the last years but five, six, seven years in the making. this will be catastrophic in illinois. >> carley: crime was bad last year and this year it is up 41% from that figure last year.

so, massive problem in chicago. it seems to not be getting better. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: . >> carley: absolutely. >> todd: down to the wire at the southern border with one week the end of title 42 as officials with a massive influx of migrants as many as 14,000 a day. >> carley: congressman andy biggs and brian brandenberg, joe concha ends at 5:00 hours of "fox & friends first." keep it right here. ♪ ♪
