The from the heart of the washington Swamp On Capitol Hill where in mere moments we will be joined by the 56th Speaker Of The House of representatives mike johnson for his very first tv interview since becoming speaker. Now the louisiana native now is third in line to be president. He has vowed to secure our southern border, decentralize our federal government, reform the weaponized and politicized doj and fbi and bring the Republican Caucus together with a thin majority and, predictably, this was not hard to predict, the left has launched a fullscale attack on the new speaker led, of course, by did dnc calling him a Maga Extremist and much more. And advising him not to get comfortable in his new position. Now coming up, were going to ask him how he plans to deal with his political adversaries, what are his top agenda items, how will he keep this caucus together . Plus well check in on israels looming Ground Invasion in gaza, a short incursion last night, the first of what we expect to be a major ground war in the days and weeks ahead. But first we start with Breaking News out of maine tonight where we are tracking a developing situation near the home of robert card. Hes the suspected mass shooter responsible for at least 18 murders, 13 injured. Here now with the very latest, she is on the ground in maine for us tonight, mollie line has the latest on this mollie, thanks for being with us. Sean, thanks for having me tonight. As you mentioned the manhunt continues, theres a significant amount of activity in the suspects home town of bowdoin. Theyve really foe kissed in on a group of properties on meadows road and in the last couple of hours weve seen choppers overhead on that road and a Search Warrant being executed there at that property. Law enforcement on a mega Phone Yelling for quite some time calling for robert or anyone in that home to come on out, to come out peacefully. Per Maine State Police those announcements heard over the loud speaker mega phone are standard Search Warrant announcements when theyre executing a Search Warrant for safety of everyone. Its unknown Fen Robert Card is in any of the homes theyre searching. Law enforcement officials just doing their Due Diligence tracking down every lead and those properties are associated with this suspect so theyre doing everything they can to find out what sort of clues they might be able to draw from that area. They also did use a series of flashing bangs earlier in the evening, once again another tactic, an intention to draw out the suspect if he is there. Not necessarily any proof that he actually was. Things unfolded yesterday just a little bit before 7 00, Lewiston Police responding to those two mass shooting incidents, one in a bowling alley, another at a bar and bill yard hall. By 10 25 in the evening, county officials called a county wide shelter in place order. Even now authorities are still asking people to stay in their homes and Lewiston Police originally calling robert card A Person Of Interest he is now clearly a suspect in this homicide mass murder case. The coast guard, worth noting, also involved now. They were up in the sky now earlier today over boothbay harbor, thats notably because the subaru, the vehicle that is associated with this suspect, was found in a Community Called list bin, not so far from here, about a 10minute drive from lewiston, and theres a river there, and this suspect is known to have some familiarity with boats and also with weapons as well. Internal Law Enforcement communication revealing that this individuals a firearms instructor, a member of the army reserves, and that over the summer had been suffering an escalating Mental Health crisis essentially, ended up being committed for a series of weeks and getting treatment. So that speaks to potentially how dangerous this individual really may be. Law enforcement officials are warning the public that he is Armed And Dangerous and right now they are still running down every lead. A lot of different agencies involved in this. Sean. Sean all right, mollie line, thank you for that report. Stay with us, well be back to you throughout the hour tonight as news breaks and my exclusive interview with the house speaker, the new speaker, mike johnson, in just moments. First, lets get Quick Reaction to what is going on on the ground in maine with national Law Enforcement and Counter Terrorism analyst former israeli 0 aaron cohen is back and former Dc Police DetectiveFox News Contributor ted williams. Aaron, lets get your take, very predictably people are already talking in the nations capitol about new gun laws. Maine does have some of the more lenient laws on the books for a state in the country, no Background Check on the purchaser, and they have they dont have their socalled yellow paper, red flag laws, theyre under a lot of controversy tonight, conceal carry without a permit is limited to people who are 21 or older. However, when you look at the background, what do we see . Somebody recently fired . Somebody that clearly had some mental issues. If, in fact, they have him surrounded tonight. Should this be a gun debate at this time and what is your take on what Law Enforcement is doing right now and why have they not entered that home that they have surrounded since this afternoon. I dont think its the time right now, sean, to turn inwards and start debating. I dont think this is political we dont want this to be politicized right now. We coronavirus those conversations down the road specifically when it comes to Mental Health. That is the big red flag. When someone has been committed and has had a breakdown that is something i would be looking at. I dont have a problem with guns you dont have a problem with guns as long as youre safe and trained with it. And given the State Of The World right now its not a bad thing to be able to defend yourself. Moving to the situation right now with that house thats being surrounded, Law Enforcements going to exercise every lead right now. This is an intelligence hunt they want to know where the suspect is, take you back to 2012, chris dorner went on a rampage, started killing cops, ended up booting two, two and a half hours up to big bear, multiple swat teams were on him, took a long time to get that information. It will move quicker now, we have cell phones, we have the photo of the suspect out, he is obviously the main Person Of Interest at this point. So intelligence number one, making sure we get every lead. Number two, if, in fact he is in that structure right now now its time to slow it down, and when im training swat teams this is what we call slow and deliberate. If theres no hostages inside we go slow we want to peel that can open nice and tender. But if hes barricaded, this would be a barricaded subject, if there are no hostages, lets tire him out, start communicating with him, get a phone in there and start getting some dialogue in there and see if we can get him out alive. We obviously want to take him out alive putting on my us Law Enforcement hat on here. We are not dealing with terrorism that we know, that we know, and you know sean i dont believe in coincidences that things happen freakishly at a time when were in a Monster Conflict in israel. But lets try and talk him out tire him down no hostages end it peacefully and put cuffs on him and make an arrest without anybody else getting killed. If there are hostages, its a different situation, federal laws are violated, Hostage Rescue Team would be on scene. But the good news is that a lot of these agencies, sean, theyve gotten a lot better over the years. Even these smaller agencies. Ive been running around training them for close to 20 years. Theyve got the gear now, they have the weaponry, they have the tactics, their mindsets gotten better. Everyones in better shape now. The tone has changed. So weve just got to let these guys do what theyre going to do and theyre going to go in there and make entry if they have to, and if they do and theres no hostages it will be very slow, very deliberate, but im leaning towards theyre going to try and get him to come out. Sean aaron good advice. Ted williams, lets get your take. I would assume Law Enforcement obviously would have night vision, something that would be able to aid and assist them. Probably they would be able to sense where a human body would be through heat sensing of some kind. Do you agree with aaron . Anything else you want to add to that . Well, i agree with what youve just said about Heat Sensing Equipment that would tell you perhaps if hes in that house. Now, the thing about it is, theyre only going to wait for so long. Normally they would do an activity of this nature during the daytime because the daytime is the most friendliest time for Law Enforcement and to Law Enforcement. So since they waited here at night, i think a swat team, i understand theres an Armored Vehicle on the scene there and theres a good possibility that theyve already gone in. And one of the things that they would normally do with a swat team coming on the scene like that, sean, would be to send the dogs in. And so i dont know if theyve done that, but i just got word that there were Law Enforcement agencies leaving that home. And, so, if that is true and can be corroborated, its more likely than not that they have eliminated that property. And that is what Law Enforcement officers are trying to do. Theyre going through what we would define as a process of elimination. Sean right. Simply meaning they eliminate that house. What makes me to believe its more likely than not that hes not in that house, is that after this carnage last night, Law Enforcement immediately was at those homes. So they had those homes under surveillance. And so its a part, sean, of a process of elimination, but this guy could be anywhere. We know that he ditched his car in leften maine we know he had jet skis, we know there are waterways, we know the cost guard is now looking down those waterways. He may not even be in the state of maine at this immediate time. Sean ted williams, well see. Law enforcement still surrounding the house so theres still got to be some interest there. Well have more this throughout the hour tonight. Thank you both. We appreciate it. Aaron and ted. Now to the big news out of capitol hill where louisiana congressman mike johnson, he was just elected Speaker Of The House. Now, notably, johnson is not a creature of the swamp, a son of a fireman from louisiana, he was first elected to congress in 2017 but quickly earned a reputation of someone who could communicate well and get things done without making enemies. Pretty hard in this town unless youre friends with dogs and cats, thats about the only friend you usually get in washington. As a prior member of the Judiciary Committee, thats jim jordans committee, the Armed Services committee and a stint as the chairman of the republican study committee, johnson has been very busy. He has consistently supported lower taxes, law and order, and Second Amendment protections. And a secure border. He has also fought against bidens weaponization at our department of justice and the fbi and whether theyve been politicized. Also he is against the woke far left propaganda now indoctrinating our kids. As speaker His First Measure was a resolution in support israels right to selfdefense after the hamas Terrorist Attacks and his first major bill will, in fact, be saying byebye to joe bidens Green New Deal radical socialism. Johnson also has a plan to keep the government open while getting our spending in check without chaos, infighting or drama. That is the goal. No easy task, to say the least, especially when you have such a slim majority. So how will they get it done . Joining us now with more, americas brand new Speaker Of The House, his first interview, mr. Speaker, good to see you, sir. Thanks sean. Welcome to capitol hill. Sean all right, two weeks ago, did you think have you gotten used to the word speaker yet . I havent sean. Ive been in the job about 48 hours now and its kind of surreal to be honest. I want to say at the outset god be with the Law Enforcement officers handle the situation in maine our prayers have been with the situation the families, everyone in the house have been dmield on that all day, its really something. So just to address that at the front end we would be remiss if we didnt mention it. Sean already though youre emersed in democrats and this happens with almost every shooting incident. The media call by the left in this country, we need more gun laws, we need more legislation. Yeah. Sean whats your answer to that . The end of the day the problem is the human heart. Its not guns, its not the weapons. At the end of the day we have to protect the right of the citizens to protect themselves and thats the Second Amendment thats why our party is so strong with that. I agree with the comments of your guest, this is not the time to be talking about legislation were in the middle of the crisis right now but i want you to know and the American People to know that all the members of the house here are deeply concerned with the families involved and everyone. We pray for the Law Enforcement officers doing that, hard job tonight that most people dont have the bravery to do. Sean you talk about the human heart, if somebody really wants to kill innocent people theres a lot of ways people can do it beyond using a gun. Yeah. Sean im sure this will become a bigger issue throughout the days moving forward. Is there any specific gun law that you would look at, or any new legislation you would look at . Well, been in the job for 48 hours. Well see. I mean there will be lots of discussion as there are after these heartbreak tragedies but your point is well taken. You know, in europe and in other places, they use vehicles to mow down crowds in parades, theyve done that here in the United States. Its not the weapon its the underlying provenlt i believe we have to address the root problems and Mental Health obviously as in this case is a big issue and we have to seriously address that as a society and as a government and theres lots of measures pending on that as well. Sean you have a very warm welcome from the dnc. They said you were an antiabortion, Maga Extremist, mike johnson. That was their first words. Oh, yeah, welcome to the job. Sean welcome to your new job. Then they went on to say you were the cosponsor to institute an extreme abortion ban, well get into detail, nationwide. You want to cut Social Security and medicare. And heres some free advice from mike johnson, and that is, dont get comfortable. Weve been here before. This is the same exact maga extremism that the American People have already reject and they will do it again. I thought that was the warmest welcome you could ever want from the democratic party. How about that . Yeah, welcome to the job. They dont know me a lot of these people dont know me and i think if they would talk to some of my colleagues here even on the other side of the aisle that have worked with me for the seven years ive been on capitol hill they would tell you those things are not true. Give me a chance. Let me have a chance to lead here and youll see what im really about. Sean let me ask you, because a lot of people dont know you, and before i get to some really heavy duty questions, issues of Great National importance, what do you want people to know about you . There were things about you that i learned in the leadup to this interview. I didnt know you didnt legally adopt a young 14year old, but you basically adopted him. It would have taken four years to finalize it. And he happened to be africanamerican and he was your first son. And now you have four other children. And one of them, this son was named michael, your other 14 year old is jack. And you said some pretty deep profound things that you think is harder for your africanamerican son than your biological son in life. Are you saying thats institutional racism in the country . What are you referring to . No. Its a reality, thorax having raised two 14 year old boys in america and in the state of louisiana. They had different experiences. And im not so sure it was all about skin color but it is about culture and society. Michael, the our first, came from a really troubled background and had a lot of challenges. Jack, on the other hand, was raised in our household from the time he was born. And it struck
