houck said he was defending his 12-year-old son from harassment, and the doj indicted houck under theace act, which makes it a federal crime to forcibly interfere with someone feasting the mike seeking or providing reproductive health care. on friday, the fbi descended on his home to add arrest him. the fbi admits that the 20 agents came to his door with guns drawn. houck's wife, ryan-marie, called the use of force traumatic and said the children were terrified, telling fox news they said they were going to break in if he didn't open it, and they had about five guns pointed at her husband, and her kids. the fbi is calling the claims inaccurate. emily, this is extraordinary. i saw the saturday morning and i said there has to be more to the story. as it turns out, the "more to the story" is the fact that the local d.a. tr decided not to brg the charges, and they say, "well, it's inaccurate, our guns were not pointed at them." the point is you're going after a pro-life activist, not the guy who is raiding a mcdonald's with an ax, not the guy mowing down an 18-year-old who he himself call

case is getting a lot of attention and you have two conflicting stories, one from fbi and one from houck's wife. >> you have conflicted stories, 24 years in the fbi, i was a swat team member and went through the ranks to become an executive. i cannot see circumstances here that in any way justify use of a swat team for what ordinarily would be a misdemeanor assault if what is alleged in the warrant is true. dawn raid, guns drawn, that is reserved for gang members, people who are armed and dangerous. again, i read the warrant, i don't see facts and circumstances that justify that. if you zoom out and look at the alleged politicization of the fbi, i'm hearing from people, my phone exploded, former executives, police chiefs, heads of state agencies who have been big supporters of the fbi who are fairly disgusted with what just happened. >> todd: not only you didn't find justification, city cops and the da did not find reason for charges in this case. op eshg d saying fbi director wray, a craven apolgist for fbi abuses should reform fbi practices before overwhelming force turns into tragedy. h

houck, how are your children doing? i have to ask. >> it's hard to tell. the older ones, we can talk, we can cry. you know, we've had some counseling. we have more counseling to do. umm, and the little ones they're scared. they're scared. there's a lot of crying and a lot of -- a lot of unrestful sleep. a lot of kids in our bed at night and in the morning. >> tucker: well, i hope every one those agents who showed up at your home with automaker weapons is feeling deep shame. i really do. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tucker: as we told you hurricane ian may be the most hyped hurricane in recent memory, turned out to be not hyped at all. the biggest hurricane maybe ever to hit florida just made landfall a few hours ago. florida governor ron desantis joins us next to tell us how the state is responding. we'll be right back. >> tucker: this is a fox news alert. one of those our reporters down in florida reached out during the break and said he's heard buildings and other things collapsing around him. that reporter is in fort myers, florida. will nunley

houck's front door, identified themselves as fbi agents, and asked him to exit the residence.nd was taken into custody without incident. lara, you have a mom who is talking about seven kids experiencing an incident that they soon won't forget. >> i can't even imagine. i mean, no matter how it was done, to have your dad taken away, and i guess, in handcuffs, i don't know, taken away in a way that was rather shocking, 7:05 a.m. the kids had just woken up. when you look at what happened and i assume what they used to go get this guy, there was an incident on the street in philadelphia, where a pro abortion activist apparently was sort of harassing their 12-year-old son, and so the gentleman mark who was taken into custody by the fbi i guess finally shoved the guy away from his son, it was dropped. as far as we know by a philadelphia court, but it appears as though someone in biden's doj, in his fbi, pulled this incident and said here's a guy we can go after. let's make this guy a target. and you look at -- if that was the incident, i mean, this seems like a little heavy-handed, i

. >> aishah: a story we have been following for you all day, mark houck, the pro life advocate at the center of a dispute with the fbi, pleading not guilty with an incident outside an abortion clinic in 2021. how can the wife say the fbi used a heavily armed swat team to bust into their house with the kids inside, arresting him with guns pointed as his kids looked on. the fbi denies that. houck's arrest and the charges against him stem back to claims he assaulted a volunteer outside an abortion clinic breaking federal law. he says he was protecting his son from a volunteer. and a private lawsuit against him was dropped. and they say it's an abuse of power and weaponizing the doj. he pled not guilty to two charges in the 2021 incident. a big deal here. >> john: russians taking to the streets over vladimir putin's plan to send hundreds of thousands more of his own people to fight. >> aishah: plus a humanitarian crisis at the southern border. a massive jump of children coming here alone. it's heartbreaking, inhumane, and it's a sign of the broken policy at the border. she's next. no, he'

will: so the specifics of the allegation go like this, i think pete laid it out for us, but mark houck, protesting outside of abortion centers, encounters on multiple to indications abortion activists. one of them gets into a screaming match, it sounds like, with his 12-year-old son, encroaches houck physically, pushes him away from the 12-year-old son, and that is the indication of what is known for the face act. pete: freedom of access to clinic -- [inaudible] if. will: that's right. that's the official charge. let's bring in someone who would know about these types of things, shannon bream, the anchor of "fox news sunday," and fox news chief legal corps 307b9. good morning, shannon. >> good morning, guys and gal. [laughter] will: here we have the statute, the law that is being applied here. i think the question for everybody is selected application is discretion and deployment of resources, 25 agents to apply the law -- by the way, i think he'd been sued in civil court, and it got thrown out. so now we have the fbi, the doj pursuing criminal charges. why? >> remember, we herald from

houck is being arraigned today. if convicted he faces up to 11 years in prison. >> harris: it's interesting to see officials on the defense trying to say what they had and wouldn't have when normally they don't talk about that sort of thing. intriguing. thank you very much. >> president biden thinks american's big cities are safe? >> not a yes or no question but a question of what has he done, what matters is that we have the funding and we have done the work, put the policies forward to make sure that these cities, whether it's big or small, have what they need to protect their community and that's what this president has done. again, without the help of republicans. >> harris: she used a lot of words in the binder but the white house dodging the question on surging violent crime in major cities. it comes as we learn the man arrested for a brutal attack in new york city subway station that you see here has an incredibly violent criminal history, which includes murdering his own foster grandmother when he was just 1

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 brou

the fbi arrest of mark houck sparking outrage nationwide, a spokesperson calling it a clear attack one christians. josh hawley sending a letter to merrick garland demanding answers on the shocking arrest. "using this kind of force to make arrest for single charge of assault is unprecedented, the reports are shocking given your office turned a blind eye to epidemic of violence across the country by pro-abortion extremists". >> carley: planned parenthood redescribing definition of heartbeat after stacey abrams made this claim. >> there is no such thing as a heartbeat, it is [inaudible] designed to convince people men have a right to take control of a woman's body. >> carley: now planned parenthood scrubbing mention of fetal heartbeat writing at six weeks gestation, a part of the embryo starts to show cardiac activity, it sounds like a heartbeat, it is not fully formed heart, it is earliest stage of the heart developing. this pediatrician is mother of seven and actual doctor who joins us now, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> carley: we're happy to have you on, can you clear up so

that reminds me a situation with mark houck, a pro-life activist who was arrested.ing the fbi essentially win in with guns a blazing the fbi said, they did no such thing but at the question is, should they arrest him at all because at a state level, the state dropped the case against him so why would the fbi pick it up? >> i tell you a comic that is a good question. because it falls along the ideologically avenue that the left takes. this is the key to investigating. when we would get a complaint or see something when i was an fbi agent, we would look for probable cause to do a preliminary investigation. once we determined that there was evidence that crimes were being committed, we would open up a full investigation and we would look at what they were doing, who was doing it, and how they were going about committing the crimes. then we put together a strategic plan to go and get these individuals and charge them with crimes. you see none of that at all in the government when we look at how the left is manipulating justice. i'm telling you right now from an investig

each party put forward two names one of them paul houck jr., a private attorney, the other three widely respected former federal judges, worth noting judge barbara jones was the special master for rudy giuliani and michael cohen. and who pays, doj says donald trump you want the master you pay. trump says we should split the cost 50/50. doj says it should be done by october 17th. trump's people say more like 90 days, into mid december. and they disagree on the scope of the review. trump's team said the special master should look at all documents, doj says no they should not look at classified documents and has no authority to decide issues of oexecutive privilege. all these issues land on the judge. >> on that subject there, federal prosecutors have gone back to the judge and asked her to put a stay on her legal rulings. what's that? >> it's a pause. while the special master is doing her work, doj you can't use the documents. doj said judge we want you to reconsider the part of the ruling that relates to the classified documents, about 1% of the documents. doj argues there is no privileg
