the tunnel system. the strikes are so strong they are shaking the ground here. not just from the airport from the sea tank units and artillery units along the border turning the eastern side of gaza to rubble. >> after two days of communication cuts to cellular networks the internet inside gaza were starting to get more information and images out of the strip. you can hear the word of a fighter jet overhead. the drone video shows a level of destruction and normal northern gaza. wiped from the palestinian civilians with nowhere to go. theythey're being warned to move south immediately. indicate hamas then control of gaza is according inside. benjamin netanyahu address the nation at his world think this is israel's second war of indepindependence at" we will w.

republican michael mccaul thanks her being with us. let's her with the ron over at the president said this on twitter or x or whatever were calling it. crimes across the redlines which may force everyone to take action. washington asked us not to do anything but they keep giving to israel he goes on for that this after the defense department says urban 20 attacks on u.s. troops in that region by running proxies you have the ford minister sydney kept the un here basically threatening the united states on u.s. soil. what do we do about iran? what should talk about putting the united states on fire if this happens. this is started by iran really by the proxies hamas is a proxy hezbollah is -- if we do not want them to a length of 100,000 rockets i can fire in an overload dome. the militia groups in iraq and syria have been hitting our troops. failifinally the administrations responding to this. they put aircraft carrier strike groups to deterrence to see this

does not escalate that's her biggest concern. >> we talked about on the show senator graham has said we should go after iran's oil infrastructure they should think we should will physically attack it. the sanctions we have not enforced sanctions on iranian oil. we have 30 to $60 they have made money off of by invading our sanctions. legal finding of terrorist organizations. part of the hostage negotiation i'm in a mark of a bill next week to sanction that money from ever going into iran. there's no reason to put $6 billion into the biggest state sponsor of terror. >> there are a lot of other countries weighing in. many of them, we know they are

enemies ironically want to just we have turkey pro- palestinian demonstration there yesterday the estimates hundreds of thousands in the street. turkish stood there and said occupier hamas is not a terrorist organization. the state nato ally of ours. what you say in this moment? >> would not let sweden into nato for a while. i would tell them to stop this. historically as part of the audubon empire it goes way back to turkish roots a ruler if you will the fact he is supporting hamas and is that nato ally, he visited him at the kremlin. we are seeing the solidification of russia, china and iran altogether in this they are all

allies and at this week they had an incursion with one or planes of the south china sea was within 10 feet of one of our planes. at the same time the foreign minister negotiating between a president xi and biden. in the next month or two a. what is our message to china? what should the white-hot message bequest should be. >> ds like the tension when i was they circle it with 10 battleships, aircraft carriers, 70 fire jets b-52 fighter jet came 10 feet away from that. the philippines goes into a philippine vessel. the message is get something out of this. they meet and it's good to talk what lines of communication between our military and there is which we don't have right now. i would also argue that mark from texas has been in china for 11 years as a hostage.

he is very sick he is a prisoner on death row for bogus drug charge. shannon: is a lot to discuss there. in the meantime as a supplemental bill coming to the hill from the white house more than $100 billion for number of things. there's a number they don't israel thrown embellish other things and all the other stuff. ted cruz's lead in the effort with senator roger marshall he says we should vote on israel military assistance free and clear. every other thing attached to it is the swamp is very worse. house speaker mike johnson says he thanks there is consensus among the gop to separated out, what happens? >> is with the new speaker i'm glad we have an out, and the situation room at the white house with jake sullivan talk about this very issue. what we want to do because the need is so urgent now and israel is to start with israel first. as a separate measure will have on the house floor this week.

but we cannot forget about the other adversaries linked to iran which is causing the problems in israel. that is russia, ukraine, europe and the threat of china to the pacific and also lastly and most importantly for me and my constituents the border itself. we have to get this thing under control because it's way out of control. shannon: dhs is warning terrorists and criminals try to capitalize what's happening in the world just because of how porous the border is overly talking for the show start about the record number of people attached to the interior watch list showing up at a border to go to those we know about paragraphs i look at those numbers hummed on the terror watch list? we have had 200. it only took 19 hijackers. we need to stop the maga political asylum go back to the policies that work which was remain in mexico in migrant protection protocols. brought this up to the white house it would not cost a lot of money is just a change in

policy. they were adjudicated outside not inside. like 7 million have been that were released. shannon: chairman always good to see a thank you pretty have a lot to do on the hill. that includes us deciding where to go it next you got michael johnson elected as house speaker came as a surprise to many his views are considered to the right of many lawmakers who were considered. the speaker will face the tough task to reach a deal before government funding runs out in a couple of weeks. brbringibring in a syndicate tok about that and more federalist editor-in-chief of mollie hemingway and richard fowler contributed writer for forbes. alrall right good to see you. let's start here the "new york times" assessment of the new speaker is an election denying extremist's right to nullify election results they can impose their vision of government and society on an unwilling public. >> what a balanced perspective from the "new york times" are the leader of the democrats is of course hakeem jeffries who

denied the integrity of the 2016 election falsely claiming trump was eight trader who clear with russia to steal that. with issues in the democrat party elections going back for many elections. this the fourth canada for house speaker was unanimously supported by his conference. that is not meat ever ensures his viewpoints they view him as someone is good to work with democrats control the senate. most of the college environments. this is just a one area or the other half of the country can fight back on some of what's happening with the democrat agenda. >> to the point of everything that needs it down the "washington post" has this thing a sayingthat governments barelye weeks away from shutting down for lack of funding, giving you money for ukraine forces against russian invaders, still at war for israel after the hamas attacks they end with this is question about whether and how well any of this can happen with johnson holding a tenuous grip

on gop majority that remains as dysfunctional as it was at the outset of this debacle. they did enough to get a speaker done. it's herding the cats progress that is the problem. we are finally getting a speaker after a number of weeks. with the chairman laid out a few minutes ago was a hefty agenda to try to get done in the world in which the makeup of the gop caucuses not change neither has the motion to vacate. so the moment somebody does not like what the speaker has done one member of the caucus can say don't like it anymore back to a restarted. not to mention the fact we have to get israel funding through you might get ukraine funding through for it on top of the fact up to get the government open. this remains a problem for this new speaker. on top of anything else is new to the job's ever been a chairman of a caucus he does not have any fundraising experience what caucus members depend on the speaker to do is to raise

money and maintain the majority. the speaker has problems of all about. >> he comes at the time the gallup is telling us their latest numbers 13% approval rating. people have lost their confidence in their ability to get these things done progressive republicans will be people in d.c. talk about fundraising. a lot of americans are looking for leadership with leadership though get political support to what's happening in d.c. they look at what the buy demonstration does intentionally rejecting everything for the previous administration donald trump's border policy to his foreign policy. they see completely and chaos at the southern border crime in our cities and inflation out of control they see a world on fire. if republicans want to get support from the american people will focus on leadership and pushing back against some of this biting administration with the weaponization of the department of justice. >> and venues for the president saying his job approval rating

among democrats has tumbled aloa 11percentage points to 75%e worst reading of his presidency from his own party the drop is pushes overall approval rating to 37% which matches his a personal low rate not we want to be in the middle of a reelection campaign progresses no question the biden white house is in trouble right now there is no question some intraparty fighting where i disagree with is a byte administration has extended a lot of chum paul is including things i was own party the port building of the border wall. they were definitely against that progress now is building the border wall which is something he did not want to do now is building the border wall we are about 12 months out from the selection. they found that gdp is at 2.4% inflation is not where the white house wanted to be we are seeing it start to decrease were seeing spending increase in wages increase. the present has to hope for in this moment as these numbers

trend in the right direction by the time he has until the american people to please go vote for me he also has hope the republican caucus in the house stays in disarray and dysfunction as well as a presidential campaign on the republican side to the same. shannon: polling shows they do not feel the relief yet they get the edge by pretty wide margin to republicans when it comes to handling the issues and the economy. clearly that's going to be front and center on the campaign trail. crime across america. we've got reporters everywhere across the country and to show you how bad things have gotten to investigate the challenges our law enforcement are facing and the backlash against ano progressive prosecutors, next. with new tequila lime shrimp one of seven endless choices right now, only at red lobster welcome to fun dining there's challenges,

compare that with new york city there been more than since the murder since the beginning of this year meanwhile three years into the progressive of backlashes building from critics and victims of other crimes. cb cotton spoke to one family who said they have paid the ultimate price. >> and jackie in her family were enjoying a night and that her manhattan home when a suspect tried to force his way into her home. police sources say was often aggressive towards jackie because of her barking dog her daughter vividly remembers the night he tried to get into her mom's apartment. >> mom came out the broken arm and my boyfriend came out with a blood coming out of his head progress she and other loved ones speaking out but hiding their identity. from then on jackie's brother said he knew this could happen but. >> i knew of my heart something could happen. i knew it.

because in new york there's justice for nobody >> jacket was out walking her dog with a friend went all three were shot and killed. gun down according to police. >> the system failed us >> new york system which saw sweeping build reform in 2020 eliminating cash bail pretrial detention for most misdemeanors and nonviolent felony cases for the progressive lawmakers arguing no one should be behind bars well rating tomorrow just because they cannot pay bail. after the home break-in in april jackie had faith the criminal justice system would protect her war was arrested and arraigned on salt and burglary charges. a judge setting about $5000 cash. >> 10% that's 500. and that is crazy. >> i feel like the judge failed. >> gave an opportunity to finish his job pickwick has been three amendments to the seas to bail at lawson's 2020 most recent change condition from near governor kathy hochul after

striking a deal to give judges more leeway when setting bail to get a defendant to return to court. how dangerous someone may be to the community is not up for consideration. >> this is crazy. nobody is safe pickwick several states progressive lawmakers who have advocated for bill reform did not respond to our request for comments. jackie's family knows how they feel progressive judge could have saved her life. >> i need to change it immediately. people like that are not meant to be let out. >> the new york system failed her progress in new york cb cotton fox news. suspect it more was arrested by u.s. marshals is now facing murder charg. joining me out to talk about what happens after suspects are arrested former prosecutor also the author of rogue prosecutors. former d.c. police detective defense attorney good to have you with us this morning.

this is one of those issues people become frustrated when others tension here in d.c. between prosecutors and sometimes not on the same page let me read you something from the prison policy initiative is at this wrong to blame progressive policies they say claims that recent changes in crime for the river bail reform, changes to police budget or progressive prosecutors are simply not supported by the evidence but. >> they are wrong. it is supported by the evidence. the 30 studies of the highest murder rates in this country 27 run by democrats 14 baht for prosecutors 60% of homicides across this country. all of their policies at 2300 20 das in the country 74 are bought and paid for all their policies are anti- victim. crime is exploded in the city with these bought and paid for rogue prosecutors this is a fact pickwick seat what you are referring as campaign donations or other groups you say are connected that led us to bear wherewe are some of the people g elected.

you have been on all sides of this let me ask you here in d.c. there's a real frustration there is a headline from the "washington post" d.c. u.s. attorney declined to prosecute 67% of those arrested were they quote retired federal homicide prosecutor in the district said this. i would get angry when i would see defendants in homicide cases in front of me he led previous gun possession charges that a prosecutor previously dismissed. some cases are going to be challenging gas but that is your job. do your job don't dismiss it because the evidence is not everything you wanted to be or think it should be. >> without a doubt crime here in the district of columbia has wells throughout the country is up. and it is because of progressive das around the country. the criminals are winning. law-abiding citizens in this country do not stand a chance it seems we have more concerns about the rights of the criminal then we are about the rights of law-abiding citizens.

so something has to be done. we look at the district of columbia. you look at the fact you cannot even drive your car without being worried about being carjacked. you think about the homicide that have taken place here. all we have to do is turn the television on look at the smash and grab and wondered what is the law doing to protect law-abiding citizens? >> we are at a crossroads were going to have to do something than the carmel justice system. >> a lot of people point to recent reforms and say they are helpful people who this is the program the criminal justice reforms is spent reforming itself across the country it's a real progressives with drug courts and family justice centers in 2016 i started

barking with prosecutors but yes reform is good but their forms they talk about none are newer to the benefit of the victims that is why in cities like philadelphia to have larry krasner, george gas code and others in l.a. crime has exploded cities like san diego you do not have a crime explosion you have a real prosecutor that's the difference. you enjoy your public safety privilege by voting for d.a. democrat or republican slot order or you don't get a progressive and it becomes. shannon: m department say it's hard to keep and recruit new prosecutors because they are so overwhelmed by the decisions tihave to make and the workload. >> they are absolutely are. when we look at the system there is a problem within the system. how poor people are treated in the system versus that of a people who have money. especially when you look at cash bail which is something that is out here and being debated.

i do not look at it as the soros from that perspective that is the political aspect. criminal justice system should be independent of the political aspect and we have to look at what is going on on the ground here >> type is not partisan victims do not worry about party affiliation either they just want justice. thank you both your work in this area and for being with us this morning. >> sinks are having us. shannon: big city mayor recently made just for switching political parties. we are going to bring in at dallas mayor eric johnson next to his support for law enforcement help motivate his decision to leave the democrat party and brazen armed robberies caught on camera. it's a serious issue in cities across the country including chicago. we will take you there next explain why some say criminals are feeling so emboldened. type your first trivia question. what are the top four most common felony crimes in the u.s.? get your interest together, we will tell you when we come back.

shannon: welcome back to the fox news and send a special pay the state of crime in america the answer to our first customer the top four most common felony crimes in the u.s.? the answer larceny and theft that is shoplifting and pickpocketing included. motor vehicle theft of burglary and aggravated assault. illinois is at a first date to completely eliminate cash bail a new policy went into effect last month after the state supreme

court rejected constitutional challenges to the law. that's despite staggering statistics coming out of america's third-largest city, chicago vehicle theft up to 68% compared to the same point last year. more than 23000 reported incidents. up 25% more than 8000 cases. murderous goodness they are down 11.% on top of this all the shocking video trashing the windy city iconic downtown. garrett tenney reports on the fallout. >> crowds of teenagers taking over parts of downtown have faced r relatively little consequences for jumping on cars, breaking windows and stealing from stores. while crews of armed criminals are targeting neighborhoods they have long been viewed as safe

curing out strings of robberies and carjackings on unsuspected victims. police heavily made a few rest in cook county progressive prosecutors have filed even fewer charges. >> that is how bold they have become. they have no fear of any accountability >> retired police lieutenant said progressive policies at all levels of chicago government mayor brandon johnson is a cook county state attorney kim a fox arm bolding criminals and making it harder for cops to stop them. >> another just going to get a slap on the wrist. was going to going to probably c public safety. demonizing children is wrong. >> mayor johnson initially defended the takeovers of silly decisions that young people make comments new top cop is promising moving forward officers will take a much more aggressive approach. >> when you see these individuals are endangering the lives of pedestrians and motorists we cannot have that.

we a our response to that has to have a level of aggression. >> whatever you're going to view in the near term, nothing? works richard was on his way home from dinner with his brother last month. >> 's wedding for the light to turn the next thing i knew i was on the ground on my back. >> he was jumped beaten and robbed by a group dressed in all black. >> i don't feel safe in the city anymore >> brandon johnson was elected on a plan root causes and social programs in the cities poorest neighborhoods. those are long-term solutions. to address the crime happening now. in chicago i am garrett tenney fox news. crux of their big city delsea mayor there eric johnson had made headlines last month he announced he would leap democratic party become a republican for johnson a local supporter of law enforcement as opposed to defe defend the polie movement said democrat party is

looking to protect the criminal element over law-abiding citizens for joining us now dallas mayor eric johnson welcome to "fox news sunday." good morning thank you. >> riedel above your op-ed in the wall street journal you explain the change of a party you said many of our cities are in disarray. mayor's and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraints. most are proud democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism. what your argument of how that's impacting safety and crime? works it all starts at the top in the city. the mayor along with the police chief have to set the tone and have to set the policy to keep a resthe residence of their city safe. the bucket does stop at the level of the mayor and the police chief. what i have seen across the country too often i think it democrats, primarily is what i'm talking about because they control most of the biggest

cities. seventy-five the top 100 cities in the country around by democrats. the problem has become democrats were not willing to say violent crime is not a problem in their city. it's a problem t the connectiono something about. too many times violent crime is been attributed to factors outside of the control of the mayor or the police chief. it is societal. it's the education system. it is coded, it is the economy. the reality is those things are always present were always weight of economic ups and downs we are always going to have challenges our education system is always had its challenges. we have not had as a level of homicides and other forms of violent crimes are having right now. and it dallas i dug in pretty firmly against the whole idea of defending the police and i said were going to do things differently here and we have had different results. shannon: you had successes in

dallas when your fellow dallas city councilmember said this. a lot of successes he's talked about dousman the safest larger cities in america is because a policies passed by a majority democrat city council. does he have a point there this is not about party politics? >> i am so glad my counsel came along eventually to agree with me and some the policies we are all democrats at the time. i have swisher parties within the past five weeks or so. but the reality is this. it was always a challenge there were reasons why we had a lot of disagreements for there's a lot of coverage for a long time of the arguments the debates that happened around dallas city hall around how we need to respond to requerequest to defend the poli. there were amendments offered by that city council when defend the police started prey take money away from the police department symbolically for no

real policy reason given to non- used have nothing to do with keeping a city safe the middle of a crime spiked. eventually after i went out and then pretty hard they change their tune the reality is that sought to pick on the del city council and talk about leadership at the top and talk about the mayors and the police chief of the country. need to be treating the violent crime problem like something that is within our control. we need to hire more police officers and do more things were doing here in dallas like hot sspot policing is working for u. we are promoting the republican mayor's association. the dallas morning news and it editorial called a bad move. i want to give you a chance to respond to them. risk antagonizing colleagues partnered to pass the policy

touts as successes were talking about that. a game of us versus them that might gain him currency with national republicans but here in dallas he is only hurting his ability to be an effective leader, your response? >> they did not have an issue when my predecessors spoke at the democratic convention during his first term as mayor. norm of them promised me being a problem with the democratics for the past five years all the sudden i suppose it is an issue i'm part of the republican mayors association. i just started to try to help all the public affairs in the country come together for us to make sure we are doing everything we can too have fiscally conservative leaders at that level. we need that and need a law and order. many people are going to propose safety in our cities. and again it democrats have controlled the major cities for several decades at least 75 of the top 100. it is a lot of top 300 or so cities in the country that really have democratic

leadership you are seeing what you're seeing across the country in large part because law and order is not taken serious enough. it is interesting to me like defining the police or non- prosecuting crimes are all these other ideas of bold a in the criminal element demoralizes your police department i can only come from one side of the political aisle. it's not honest we don't all embrace this. not everyone embraces anything and every party but the ideas are only coming from your side of the eye-opener they're only taking root on your side of the aisle. there we been implemented by folks who have a d behind her name that's why had to leave the democratic party does not represent my values at all when it comes to on order. khakis are important conversations committees have to be having regardless of party. dallas mayor click adams thank you. in a dangerous drug cocktail is wreaking havoc on the streets of major city linked to major
