the wars" for snowstorms and it's been horrible this morning. >> griff: that is right. for all of the of users tuning in early, you have to take stock of the ice. i remember watching the snow falling last night, watching football, snow in the backyard. it was quite pretty. i was taking pictures of the winter wonderland. but then i woke up to the ice. boy, it was slippery getting to the car. be careful out there. go slow, do not rush, the roads at the nation's capital very slick. we have sleet, freezing rain coming down an hour ago. speed to only that, griff, but there is flooding as far as the new york area. the trees were down, and like i said committee of the snow, 6 inches of snow where i am. the closer you got to the city, and i swear it was like a spring storm. it was crazy. >>

thankfully all of the hostages were able to escape. the fbi said the suspect demanding to release a prisoner and was not focused on any one group in choosing the synagogue. >> we do believe with this he was singly focused on one issue and it was not specifically related to the jewish committee met community but we will continue to work to find a motive. we will continue on that path. >> after swift criticism for what seemed down playing it, the attack late last night the fbi put out a new statement "this is a terrorism related matter in which the jewish community was targeted and being investigated by the joint terrorism task force. others calling for an investigation and synagogues across the country expressing concerns that there could be copycats. the fbi has fanned their investigation out to london and tel aviv. this has turned into international investigation. so there was something more here that we need to get to the bottom of. an radicalized syntax in a few years

transform america. they were looking to get back to normal. >> also well in philadelphia yesterday, the president said he wants to see the tax credit renewed, child tax credit and an area where he and senator manchin disagree. >> griff: angela half, alex thank you. people weighing in on the president's policies and here is congressman jim jordan on the message they are sending to americans, watch.

have done wrong. frankly, i don't know that they've done anything right. they have messed up every single thing. you think about the message that they are sending to families particularly urban areas where they are saying we will not let your kids go to school and we will let bad guys roamed the streets. we will also let illegal immigrants vote. that is the message and no wonder no one approves

texas synagogue. the fbi is under fire for initially saying it was not specifically related to the jewish community. >> ashley: there is now a former new york state assembly founder of americans again and anti-semitism. thank you for being with us. before we get back to this i want to read a statement and talk about this for a second. this is a new fbi statement on that texas synagogue, "all of us at the fbi are relieved that a hostage situation in texas was resolved without physical. this is a terrorist related matter." i cover this last night and they were actually in the middle of doing this news conference. so i heard that they said that this was not an attack on the jewish community, yet in the facebook live stream anyone watching and it went on for quite some time, he was asking for the relief of the pakistani neuroscientist who was suspected of having al qaeda ties. what do you take of this that now going back on what they originally said? >> look, it makes you wonder what in god's name is going on with the fbi. when the fbi made that statement that this wasn't anti-semitic, for god sake, what were they looking at? i mean, the whole world saw this clearly a synagogue. it was in a mosque, it was in a local mcdonald's to take hostages. he could have found hostages anywhere. that was his goal. but he went to a synagogue on the sabbath well services were going on. so, the fbi positioned -- which by the way contradicted the president's position. and almost the very same moment, it is bizarre, it is crazy and we can't figure this out. someone should explain this to the fbi. this is serious business. the entire jewish world was affected by this. every synagogue. i mean, here in the jewish community today in general with regard to the incidence of anti-semitism, unprecedented peer of the numbers we have never seen in the history of this country. you know, to have the heavy fbi say, "this is not about the jews, that is nuts, that is crazy, that is insane." >> griff: dug come across the country synagogues are stepping up security as they do sadly after incidents like this one in texas, but because of the initial reaction on the fbi, should the synagogues take a different, more intense approach to their security apparatus? >> look, as it is, you know, if i go to a synagogue, let me tell you, it has changed in the last year, year and a half. i mean, to get into my synagogue, there is a whole procedure. this is a sad commentary on our amazing entry. that this is what we are living with today, but that is a reality. synagogues have been shut up. innocent people have been murdered, thank god in this case the people in the synagogue got off and nothing happened, but we all take this very, very seriously. unfortunately, there is no -- you know, there is no choice. you've got to deal with the most serious way because there are many other people out there who would love to cause harm to the jewish people. jew hatred and anti-semitism is alive and growing. for the fbi to do what it did, they need to explain this to the american people. they need to explain this to the jewish community. this is the most bizarre thing i have ever seen when it comes to anti-semitism. a synagogue attacked -- a synagogue, by someone who is trying to free a terrorist, for god sake. something very, very common in the middle east that israel deals with all the time. and for the fbi to say "no, this was not about the jewish community," hey it was about the jews for god sake! >> griff: thug before we run out of time, turn to another topic, and that is up in

contract and laid things out clearly. you now have leader mccarthy laying out the priorities everything from the border to out-of-control crime to the soaring 40 year high inflation. what do you believe should be priority number one, and how will republicans begin to tackle it? >> well, as far as i'm concerned, priority number one would be to hold the biden administration accountable. i mean, we have to look at every debacle in this administration to afghanistan to scenting tax dollars to the wuhan lab for gain-of-function research. we have to look at the unfunded, unconstitutional mandates, the vaccine mandates, the executive order halting the border wall, the executive order with the keystone pipeline. each of these policies that the biden administration has had detrimental effects on the american taxpayers. the keystone pipeline led to higher ending process. his mandates and executive orders to hold drilling on federal lands, this has contributed to a higher gas prices. his runaway, necessary spending has led to inflation. these are the areas where my committee the house oversight committee will hold the biden administration accountable. >> griff: congressman come if you do, indeed, win the majority and take over that committee, will we hear from hunter biden? >> absolutely. we have already asked the administration for lots of information. they have not complied at all. we have asked the administration for the preservation of documents on a whole menu of items, some of which pertain to hunter biden. some people may ask, why is this important? what does hunter biden have to do with this? there are lots of questions with the administration in reaction to china. for example, why does the administration not want to hold china accountable for the wuhan lab? why does the administration have a tougher line against china in? hunter biden could be the reason to this. if hunter biden is innocent, i believe joe biden will comply with that request. we have a simple request and hunter biden started selling artwork and it brings half a million dollars, which would make him the highest paid artist alive in the world today, we simply want to know "who bought the artwork? "this is something in the administration would be transparent with. for whatever reason the biden administration has not been transparent with hunter biden's artwork, consulting with ukraine and now he is involved in a deal in africa that used and gave china upper hand on controlling the world mineral markets with minerals that may need to make batteries. so, there are a lot of questions about hunter biden. and i think the american people want to know the answers to. >> griff: congressman james comer, thank you for your time this early monday morning. we will be watching. this will be an interesting midterm election, thank you, sir. >> thank you for having me on. >> griff: ashley. >> ashley: okay, griff still had democratic cities are feeling the impact of defining the place, especially the nation's capitol where more than half of the case is unsolved. the next guest lost his 11-year-old grandson with a shooting in washington, d.c., in december 2020. his plea for the public to back the blue next. ♪ ♪ new york city eric adam saved the subways are safe after a man pushed a woman in front of a train. adam's aching "i think it is 1.7% of the crimes in new york city that occur on the subway system. think about that for a moment. what we must do is remove the perception of fear. a witness of a murder says the suspect simon marshall showed no emotion as he shoved 40-year-old michelle at the times square station. he confessed the attack quickly after. the victim was a senior manager at the town consulting firm and volunteered as an advocate for the homeless. in 2021 marked the deadliest year in chicago and a quarter of a century and chicago police department statistics show the wendy's 9797 people to this last year. the most since 1996. and 25 other shot in chicago over the weekend. police say a 20-year-old man was shot and killed in a drive by early sunday. the day before, a 17-year-old boy was hospitalized in critical condition after the police found him shot in a parking lot. >> ashley: democrat led cities are feeling the deadly poll of deepening the police. 40% of murder cases were closed in 2021. 20 mean now, the father of an 11-year-old who was shot in 2020 and the founder of d.c. chapter of guardian angels. john, i am so sorry to hear what happened to your grandson. such a cute, young boy he was in a senseless act of violence but i do want to get to this and i said in the open there is only 42% of murders that are solved in d.c. you see all of these anti-police riots and protests, whatever you want to call them. so obviously, we need the police on the streets to keep them safe. because, these cities, more liberal cities push that they want the community to help aunt step in but they are not helping to step in. >> that is true. first i want to thank you for having me on the show this morning. we cannot defund the place but we have to put more money and more resources into police in d.c. and throughout the united states. we have to give more money into the police department so we can have more community resource officers. what i mean by that, we went off and walked around the community and set up such things the community watch program. and if you have these community watch programs in d.c. or throughout the united states that we used to have in the past, that will get the community to want to give information and at this time, most community people are afraid of the police. so we want to speak to the police. so we have to figure out a way to make them become the resource officer to add resource to the community and the community wants to speak to the community so we can close these crimes. the community knows who are committing these crimes. but they don't want to speak and tell the police. >> ashley: okay, obviously people know community policing does work but there is an obvious issue between certain communities and the place, especially after what we saw in the summer of 2020 with all the protests and the riots and come of course, the incident with george floyd appeared so what -- it's going to take both sides coming together with this. what suggestions do you have the domain for the community and the police come together to make this work?
