The law is ‘squarely’ on Trump’s side despite backlash from Pritzker, Chicago mayor

♪ >> DEMOCRATS IN ILLINOIS REFUSING HELP FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP AS HE ZEROS IN ON CHICAGO AFTER A VIOLENT HOLIDAY WEEKEND LEFT DOZENS HURT AND AT LEAST SEVEN DEAD. >> Lawrence: MADELEINE RIVERA JOINS US LIVE FROM WASHINGTON WITH THE LATEST. >> GOOD MORNING. THE PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED THE ADMINISTRATION WILL ACT QUICKLY IF ILLINOIS GOVERNOR J.B. PRITZKER DOES NOT CLEAN THINGS UP IN CHICAGO. WE WILL SEE WHAT HE DOES NEXT AFTER NBC CHICAGO REPORTS 54 PEOPLE WERE SHOT AND 7 PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN THE WINDY CITY OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND. SO, PRITZKER MAINTAINS THERE IS NO NEED FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD BECAUSE HE SAYS THERE IS NO EMERGENCY IN CHICAGO. HE IS SUGGESTING THE PRESIDENT ISN’T EVEN FOCUSED ON CRIME BUT SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY. >> THE OTHER AIMS ARE THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO STOP THE ELECTIONS IN 2026 OR FRANKLY TAKE CONTROL OF THOSE ELECTIONS. THE PLAYBOOK IS THE SAME. IT’S THWART THE MEDIA. IT’S CREATE MAYHEM THAT REQUIRES MILITARY INTERDICTION. THESE ARE THINGS THAT HAPPEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY AND DONALD TRUMP IS JUST FOLLOWING THAT PLAYBOOK. >> CANNOT LEGALLY WORK ENFORCE THE LAW IN CHICAGO SO CHICAGO’S MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON HAS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER LIMITING HOW MUCH THE CITY’S POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN WORK WITH TROOPS AND FEDERAL IMMIGRATION AGENTS. THE ORDER STATES CHICAGO POLICE CAN CONTINUE TO ENFORCE STATE AND LOCAL LAWS BUT WILL NOT WORK WITH THE NATIONAL GUARD AND AGENTS ARREST IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT. HERE IS JOHNSON TAKING TO THE STREETS ON MONDAY. >> WE’RE GOING TO DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. WE’RE GOING TO PROTECT THE HUMANITY OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. NO TROOPS IN CHICAGO. [CHANTING NO TROOPS IN CHICAGO] >> THE PRESIDENT IS SET TO GIVE AN ANNOUNCE THE TODAY 2:00 P.M. LOCAL TIME. WE WILL SEE IF HE HAS ANYTHING MORE TO SAY REGARDING CHICAGO. >> Lawrence: AINSLEY, GRIFF, THE QUESTION IS IF YOU DON’T WANT THE FEDERAL TROOPS IN AND AGENTS IN TO HELP YOU, THEN WHO IS GOING TO STOP THE BLOODBATH THAT ARE HAPPENING IN ALL OF THESE LIBERAL CITIES AND IT HAS NOTHING DO WITH ELECTIONS. HAS TO DO WITH THE DIGNITY OF THESE CHILDREN. HOW MANY TIMES DID I TRAVEL AROUND THE COUNTRY WITH SEAN INTERVIEWING FAMILIES KIDS WERE MURDERED NO POLITICIAN IN THE LOCAL AREA DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT. >> Ainsley: THIS IS ALL ABOUT COMMON SENSE, RIGHT? YOU WOULD THINK THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO CLEAN UP YOUR CITY IF AFTER A LABOR DAY WEEKEND 54 PEOPLE ARE SHOT. SEVEN PEOPLE WILL NEVER COME HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES AGAIN THE CHICAGO BUSINESSMAN. HE ALSO RAN VIOLENCE HAS BEEN GOING ON FAR SO LONG THAT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS FAILED THE CITIZENS OF CHICAGO AND THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. HE SUPPORTS DONALD TRUMP’S CRIME CRACKDOWN. HE SAYS I SUPPORT HIM 1,000 PERCENT. THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE A LOT OF SECURITY AROUND THEM. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE SECURITY AROUND THE PEOPLE. >> CRACKING DOWN ON CRIME. EXCUSE ME, IS A COMMON SENSE ISSUE. YOU SPOKE TO THE GRIEVING FAMILIES OF VICTIMS IN CHICAGO. 57 SHOT OVER THE WEEKEND. MORE THAN 250 — I BELIEVE IT’S OVER 260 NOW HAVE BEEN KILLED THIS YEAR. SO TELL THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED IN CHICAGO THAT IT’S NOT NEEDED. JEANINE PIRRO, THE U.S. ATTORNEY FOR D.C., WHO HAS HAD REMARKABLE SUCCESS CRACKING DOWN. MORE THAN 1500 ARRESTS OVERS LAST THREE WEEKS WAS TALKING ABOUT CRIME IN OTHER CITIES, LISTEN HERE. >> PRESIDENT TRUMP TO COME OUT AND MAKE A COMMENT ON CHICAGO A CITY THAT IS HIS CITY, THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT CITIES IN AMERICA, THAT HAS SHOOTINGS AND KILLINGS, FREQUENTLY SINCE I CAN REMEMBER, EVERY WEEKEND THERE IS SHOOTINGS IN CHICAGO. WHAT ARE THEY DOING ABOUT IT? WHAT THEY’RE DOING IS THEY ARE TURNING TO POLITICS AND THEY ARE TURNING TO ANYTHING ANTI-TRUMP. YOU SPEAK TO ANY OF THE CRIME VICTIMS THAT I SPEAK, TO ANY OF THE PARENTS OF MURDERED KIDS AND TEENAGERS. THEN YOU GET A SENSE OF HOW DISAPPOINTED PEOPLE ARE IN THESE LEADERS WHO WOULD RATHER PLAY POLITICS. WHEN MURIEL BOWSER. THE DEMOCRAT MAYOR OF D.C. CAN SAY VIOLENT CRIME IS DOWN BY 50% BECAUSE OF THIS SURGE, YOU WANT TO CRITICIZE THAT? YOU WANT TO SAY THEY DON’T DESERVE TO COME IN AND PROTECT OUR PEOPLE? WE WANT OUR PEOPLE TO BE VICTIMS OF VIOLENT CRIME AND WE DON’T CARE ABOUT IT? SHAME ON THEM. >> I GUESS THE LAST THING I WOULD SAY ON THIS I DIDN’T PREDICT THE MIDTERMS AND GOING TO GOVERNOR RACES LIKE VIRGINIA OR GOING INTO NEW YORK, WHICH YOU GOT A CANDIDATE THAT SAYS HE WANTS TO DEFUND THE POLICE THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE AN ELECTION ISSUE IT WASN’T ONE OF THE TOP THREE ISSUES WHEN WE WERE COVERING THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. BUT, THE REASON WHY IT’S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE IS BECAUSE OF DEMOCRATS HAVE, ONCE AGAIN, PUT THEMSELVES ON THE WRONG SIDE OF SOMETHING THAT IS JUST LIKE 90-10. WHICH IS PUBLIC SAFETY. DO YOU SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT? WE HAVE THE SUMMER OF LOVE WHEN WE DEFUNDED THE POLICE AND WE SAW HOW BAD IT GOT. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOUBLING DOWN ON THIS WHEN THERE IS A MIDTERMS APPROACHING. >> Ainsley: WE SAW IN THE ELECTION THE BIG ISSUE WAS NOT ONLY THE ECONOMY BUT ALSO CLOSING THE BORDER AND NOW THE ELECTION IS GOING FORWARD. THIS WILL BE A BIG ISSUE. CRIME. BECAUSE WE’RE SEEING THESE NUMBERS SKYROCKET AFTER THESE WEEKENDS. AND IT’S ALWAYS — IT ALWAYS GUYS BACK TO CHICAGO. PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS PRAISING MURIEL BOWSER FOR WORKING TOGETHER WITH HIM TO BRING THE CRIME DOWN IN D.C. AND HE SAYS HER STATEMENTS AND ACTIONS WERE POSITIVE. INSTEAD OF OTHERS LIKE PRITZKER, WES MOORE, NEWSOM. SPENDING ALL OF THEIR TIME TRYING TO JUSTIFY VIOLENT CRIME. THEY ARE TRYING TO JUSTIFY. THE MESSAGE THAT WE HEAR IS WE’RE OKAY WITH ALL THE CRIME. >> Griff: YOU ARE 100 PERCENT RIGHT. DEMOCRATS ARE VERY MUCH ON THE WRONG SIDES OF SO MANY ISSUES. NOT JUST CRIME. LET’S BE CLEAR. THEY ARE NOT, RESULT MALTDLY, I WOULD THINK DEEP IN THEIR HEARTS, SUPPORTING CRIME, BUT, YET, IT’S TRUMP WHO IS GETTING CREDIT FOR CRACKING DOWN AT THE END OF THE DAY THEY WANT TO RESIST TRUMP. BUT IT IS THIS DOUBLING DOWN ON CRIME, DOUBLING DOWN ON PROTECTING ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIENS BECOMING SUCH A PROBLEM FOR DEMOCRATS, PARTICULARLY LIKE IN VIRGINIA. ABIGAIL SPANBERGER A MODERATE DEMOCRAT A LITTLE BIT AHEAD IN THE LEAD BUT GOING TO HAVE TO CONFRONT THOSE ISSUES. YOU HAVE GOT IN NEW JERSEY THE RACE THERE, VERY >> Lawrence: AT LEAST 56 PEOPLE WERE SHOT IN CHICAGO OVER THE WEEKEND WITH 8 VICTIMS COULD IING. CALLING OUT LAWMAKERS TRYING TO JUSTIFY VIOLENT CRIME INSTEAD OF WORKING WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO ELIMINATE IT. MEANWHILE CHICAGO’S MAYOR AND ILLINOIS GOVERNOR AGAINST ANY PLANS OF SENDING IN THE NATIONAL GUARD. WATCH. >> NO FEDERAL TROOPS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. [CHEERS] NO MILITARIZED FORCE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. [CHEERS] WE’RE GOING TO DEFEND OUR DEMOCRACY IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. [CHEERS] WE’RE GOING TO PROTECT THE HUMANITY OF EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. >> WE HOPE THAT THEY DON’T SEND ANY TROOPS ALONG WITH ICE AND, IF THEY DO THEY WILL BE IN COURT PRETTY QUICKLY BECAUSE THAT IS ILLEGAL. >> Lawrence: LET’S BRING IN FOX NEWS LEGAL ANALYST GREGG JARRETT. THEY ARE MAKING THIS A PROCESS ISSUE. BUT THEY ARE NOT FOCUSING ON THE VICTIMS. IN YESTERDAY’S SHOW. WE GOT THE SHOOTING NUMBERS, AND IT WENT UP AND ALSO THE DEATH WENT UP BY ONE AS WELL. >> YEAH. >> Lawrence: LOOK OVER LAST LABOR DAY WEEKEND, IT ALSO DOUBLED. SO IT’S CLEARLY AN EPIDEMIC GOING ON IN CHICAGO. >> YEAH. I THINK THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR ARE SIDING WITH LAWLESSNESS AND DISORDER. BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS IN FAVOR OF LAW AND ORDER. AND BY LAW, YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT DOES HAVE THE POWER THAT FEDERALIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD, SEND THEM INTO CITIES LIKE CHICAGO TO SUPPRESS CIVIL DISORDER AND ENFORCE LAWS EVEN WITH GOVERNOR PRITZKER RESIST. JOHNSON IS IRRELEVANT IN THANK YOU VERY MUCH MATTERS. THE PRESIDENT CAN DEPLOY OTHER ARMED FORCES, BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF INHERENT POWERS. ARTICLE 2 TO ENSURE THAT ALL LAWS ARE FAITHFULLY EXECUTED. BEYOND THAT THOUGH, THE INSURRECTION ACT PASSED BY CONGRESS, SPECIFICALLY ALLOWS THE PRESIDENT TO USE THE MILITARY TO ADDRESS LAW ENFORCEMENT EMERGENCIES. HALT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. PHYSICALLY WHERE GOVERNORS AND MAYORS REFUSE TO DO IT. TRUMP DID IT IN LOS ANGELES. THE NINTH CIRCUIT OF APPEALS, A LIBERAL LEANING COURT UPHELD HIS DECISION AS COMPLETELY LAWFUL. AND, OF COURSE, IT QUELLED THE VIOLENCE. THAT DOESN’T MEAN PRITZKER ISN’T GOING TO SPRINT TO THE NEAREST COURT TO GET AN INJUNCTION. HE’LL DO IT. BUT, THE LAW IS SQUARELY ON THE PRESIDENT’S SIDE ON THIS, LAWRENCE. >> Lawrence: PROGRESSIVES HERE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THE NUMBERS. THE NUMBERS WERE SO HIGH BEFORE, THAT THEY CELEBRATE SOME DECREASES. SO THIS IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING MURDERS DOWN BY 49%. DOWN BY 49%. BUT WE JUST HAD 8 PEOPLE DIE OVER THE WEEKEND. ROBBERIES DOWN 10%. BURGLARIES UP 8%. MISDEMEANOR THEFT 60%. MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT. 78%. AND MANY OF THEM ARE JUVENILES. THEY CELEBRATE THESE NUMBERS. BUT, IF THERE WERE 8 PEOPLE THAT DIED OVER THE WEEKEND WHAT WERE THE NUMBERS BEFORE THEN? YEAH, IT’S A GREAT POINT. PRITZKER AND JOHNSON SHOULD REALLY FOLLOW THE LEAD, THE TEMPLATE OF MURIEL BOWSER THE MAYOR OF WASHINGTON, D.C. WHO IS NOW COOPERATING WASHINGTON, D.C. SHE HEALED NEWS CONFERENCE AND CELEBRATED. SHE PRAISED THE INFUSION THE HAPPIEST PEOPLE WEREN’T JUST THE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF CRIME BUT LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT DESPERATELY NEEDED THE HELP PRITZKER AND JOHNSON SHOULD TRY TO PAY ATTENTION. >> Lawrence: I WANT TO GET YOUR COMMENTS ON ANOTHER STORY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE LAWFARE AS WELL AS THE COURTS. AND THIS IS THE FEDERAL APPEALS COURT THAT STRUCK DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TARIFFS ARGUING THAT IT GOES TOO FAR IN HIS USE OF EMERGENCY POWERS. THE QUESTION IS WHERE IS THE SUPREME COURT GOING TO FALL ON THIS? BECAUSE I CAN PREDICT THAT IT’S GOING TO MAKE ITS WAY THERE, RIGHT? >> YEAH. ABSOLUTELY, LAWRENCE. THE APPELLATE COURT VACATED THE INJUNCTION, SO THAT STOPS — THAT HAD STOPPED THE TRUMP TARIFFS. THAT GIVES TIME TO APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT. SO, THE TARIFFS IN THE INTERIM WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THERE IS A DECISION SOME TIME LATER NEXT YEAR. BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, TRUMP DOES HAVE A VALID ARGUMENT THAT HE BEING AD LAWFULLY UNDER THE ECONOMIC POWERS ACT. BECAUSE, THE STAGGERING TRADE DEFICITS. THE FOREIGN TARIFFS WERE PUNISHING OUR BUDGET, OUR NATIONAL DEBT. AND THAT CREATED AN EXTRAORDINARY THREAT TO THE ECONOMY. THAT IS THE EXACT LANGUAGE OF THE LAW THAT CONGRESS PASSED BACK IN ’77. DELEGATING POWERS TO THE PRESIDENT TO REGULATE IMPORTS. AND JUDICIAL REVIEW OF PRESIDENTIAL DISCRETION IN EMERGENCIES ACCORDING TO THE SUPREME COURT IS QUITE LIMITED PARTICULARLY FOREIGN AFFAIRS. REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THANKS LAWRENCE. THERE ARE OTHER LAWS THAT TRUMP CAN INVOKE TO MAINTAIN HIS TARIFFS, THE TRADE ACT THE SMOOTH HOLLY ACT. WRITING THE OBITUARY OF TRUMP’S NEW TARIFFS IS A BIT PREMATURE. I WOULDN’T HIT THE PAN NIC BUTTON JUST YET ON THE DEMISE OF THESE TARIFFS. >> Lawrence: PRESIDENT IS NOT ONLY USING THIS FROM ECONOMIC STANDPOINT BUT PEACE DEALS ACROSS THE WORLD. USING IT AS DEFENSE MECHANISM AS WELL. THIS IS SCOTT BESSENT, THE TREASURY SECRETARY, WEIGHED IN ON THIS AS WELL. THIS IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY. LET’S WATCH IT. >> WE THINK WE’RE GOING TO WIN AT THE SUPREME COURT. AND, YOU KNOW, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THERE ARE TWO PARTS HERE. THERE IS THE FENTANYL TARIFFS AND WHAT’S A BIGGER EMERGENCY THAN 100,000, 200,000 AMERICANS DYING AND SHOULD THE PRESIDENT BE ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY ECONOMIC POWERS ACT DYING AND FAMILIES BEING DESTROYED? >> Lawrence: GREGG, LAST WORD? >> YEAH, HE IS 100 PERCENT CORRECT PRESIDENTS HAVE USED IN THE PAST EMERGENCY POWERS TO PROTECT CITIZENS. AND NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS. I CAN’T THINK OF A GREATER THREAT THAN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES, PARTICULARLY YOUNG PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE INFLUX OF FENTANYL OVER THE MEXICAN AND CANADIAN BORDER. SO, THE PRESIDENT WAS RANKED
