family through this, is there someplace to go for details? we ve set up a site defendlifetoday.com. we ve got our whole thomas more legal team on this, because if we can push back against the department of justice here, we can get them not to do this to someone else. we ve hired the best defense attorney in philadelphia, one of the best in the country, to help us what this matter. that costs money, but we re going to make the commitment that we re going to take this all the way, to succeed and hopefully prevail in the end, which we re confident of. tucker: it s so horrifying that i have to hope people are punished, for real. mrs. 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

lee expresses the public s mistrust in the fbi. listen. there is significant concern within the fbi headquarters, some agents, particularly in washington, are being used to weaponize criminal law enforcement system at the federal level. brooke: a spokesperson says the father brought his 12-year-old son to listen to him speak at the time of the alleged assault and claim the escort personally invaded their son s space shouting extreme things. if convicted, he faces sentence of 11 year carley: thank you. this case is getting a lot of attention and you have two conflicting stories, one from fbi and one from houck s wife.
fbi agents knocked on mr. houck s front door, identified themselves as fbi agents, and asked him to exit the residence. he did so and 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
son. houck s wife says the case was already thrown out, adding quote, after they had taken mark, and the kids were all screaming that he was their best friend, the agents kind of softened a bit. i think they realized what was happening or maybe they actually looked at the warrant. is this the latest example of the fbi going after who the agency considers to be extremist? an fbi whistle-blower spoke about this issue on last night on unfiltered. the investigations done on the criminal side are very good and wrapped up and efficient. that is not the goal nor is it the same and it is certainly not the way they are done on the intelligence side. this is going to be counterterrorism or counterintelligence, they don t have the same agenda. and they don t have the same purpose. not driven by the same metrics. the fbi field office put out a statement on this incident and it reads quote no s.w.a.t. team or operators were involved.
