02:56out of the playoff last year they won the national championship but it's a new year it's a new year it's the
03:03year it's the year of arch manning rachel it's the year of the longhorns charlie and joey hope springs eternal
03:12it does
03:13we got a couple more hours of this will i'm going to take it easier on you
03:18well back in washington president trump is uh cracking down on crime but out in chicago uh
03:32they're saying no thanks they're not looking for any help from the federal government or anybody else
03:37as they brace for yet another potentially violent weekend labor day weekend there
03:45yes we've got a sort of a wall here of all the different years of you know crime and fatalities
03:53some of them involving really young children i mean these are huge numbers chicago is one of the most
03:59dangerous places i remember you guys going to chicago if you're in wisconsin you have to come down to
04:05chicago and i would go with my friends and with my family and you could see the city um as the years
04:11go on just deteriorating and getting more and more unlivable post covid it got even worse and
04:18um here's governor pricksker saying yeah i know it's uh uh not really fun to live here and it's
04:24dangerous but we don't want your help president trump listen we don't appreciate uh when they mistreat
04:32our residents when they go after people who many of whom are have been here for decades
04:37there are neighbors there are friends it's un-american if you ask me invading a city with
04:44troops look at what they did in los angeles again people with masks walking around or showing up
04:50driving up in vans and grabbing people off the streets and throwing them in the back of a van
04:55that's not the united states again it's un-american to do something like that i studied the holocaust i
05:02helped to build a holocaust museum this is what happened in the early days of the nazi regime
05:08in germany i'm not suggesting we're going the same direction necessarily but boy it's frightening
05:14yeah not necessarily suggesting it just just invoking it but not suggesting it uh it really is amazing
05:23that that's that's all they that they have such few cards the democrats right now anything they say
05:29real quick just i just want to point this out um and this is not to say we shouldn't do a
05:33tremendous amount more to prevent things like school shootings less than 210 children have died
05:38in school shootings since columbine 183 children die from gun violence in illinois every year that's
05:44on average so if you care about illinois that's just illinois so numbers the whole the totality of
05:51the problem of gun violence and children is exemplified it's amplified in a state like
05:57illinois mainly in chicago mainly by illegal handguns and gang violence you would think the governor
06:04of a state with that big of a problem on the heels of something like what just happened in minneapolis
06:09would be asking president trump hey whatever you're doing in dc that brought homicides down
06:14to almost a two-week zero maybe you can help me out in chicago and we can do something similar
06:19to that here no instead he stands in front of a bully pulpit and says ridiculous things like
06:24comparing it to the holocaust rounding up illegals and then going out i'm not i'm not making that
06:30comparison i'm just bringing it up and they're just so afraid that he's going to prove that they
06:35are inept i mean they're just so afraid of him coming and here's borders are tom holman saying
06:40liberal leaders get out of the way get out of the way because we're going to do it look right after
06:47the election right when president trump took the white house the first operation that i was involved
06:52was chicago brandon johnson says i wasn't welcoming in chicago well the very next day i was in chicago
06:57along with the task force the first day in chicago we took nine child predators off the street child
07:04sex predators off the street we arrested numerous members of trend agua and ms-13 we arrested two
07:11illegal aliens that were convicted of murder and we we took numerous guns off the street and that's just
07:17that's just a chip off the iceberg so there's a lot more to do president trump's committed making
07:22chicago great again making it safe again since they failed to do so and you can be sure you guys that
07:27everybody in chicago is looking at what happened in washington dc you said zero um homicides in the
07:33last two weeks there's been a 30 percent decrease in crime 30 percent in just two weeks there's been
07:411 369 arrests 12 known gang members pulled off the street 140 illegal firearms seized 50 homeless
07:51encampments um removed and get this yeah five missing children found i don't know the details behind that
07:59but that's very interesting to me as well so um it works they know it and they're afraid that people
08:07might like it um and decide that they that the the people who were letting it happen all this crime
08:14um should be voted out of office that's really what's happening here meanwhile the trump administration
08:20is filing an appeal after a federal court rules most of the president's reciprocal tariffs are illegal
08:27accusing the commander-in-chief of exceeding his authority trump taking his true social to react he says
08:34uh in this quote he says all tariffs are still in effect but warning if these tariffs ever went away
08:41it would be a total disaster for the country it would make us financially weak and we have to be strong
08:47fox news contributor saul weisenberg joins us now thank you so much for for joining us this morning
08:52so first of all can you explain the this ruling to us
08:57i'll do my best uh these liberate these cover the liberation day tariffs and what the court ruled
09:07this was a statutory interpretation not a constitutional interpretation by the federal circuit and what
09:14they said was you were not to president trump you were not given the power under this particular act
09:21the act is called the international economic emergency powers act or emergency economic powers act
09:27and what the court said was uh you know uh what the court reminded the president was that all
09:34constitutional power to uh enact tariffs uh resides in congress what's happened is congress has delegated
09:44an enormous amount of that authority to the president in various statutes but the court said
09:50they didn't do it here if congress is going to give the president the power under this particular act
09:57to impose tariffs they've got to say so unambiguously and it was a seven to four decision
10:03very strong decision it's going to be very interesting to see what the supreme court does here it's
10:09not necessarily something that's going to be a win for the president
10:12what do you think about you know does this undermine because we were talking earlier on the couch
10:19about how president trump has used this not just economically he's used this to actually get
10:26foreign countries to do things we want them to do not just in terms of economics but other things like
10:33you know cooperate with us on uh national security uh maybe wind down wars so how does this undermine
10:41um just the country forget about just the president the country on the world stage
10:46well the the ruling unquestionably undermines what the president has been doing with these liberation
10:56day tariffs again the question is just because it's good as a matter of policy if you think that it is
11:02the president still has to have the authority to do it he can't just do it because he's the president
11:07and that's that's really the key here and the court just said look we'd like to be able to do it but
11:13we can't so what is the difference uh explain the difference between the tariffs that are enacted
11:18under the emergency economic powers versus tariffs that are enacted for like steel tariffs that are a part
11:27of national security well this particular act doesn't even an answer to your question doesn't even
11:35ever use the word tariff it uses the word regulate congress gives the president power to completely
11:43prohibit certain things uh but the but the court said look they don't not not only does congress not
11:49even use the word tariff they don't use any of the synonyms for tariff this is something called
11:54there's something called the major questions doctrine and if you're going to come in and give the
12:00the president the authority to set tariffs you've got to do it clearly and unambiguously that's the
12:06major questions doctrine and uh that that's really an issue but there's no question there are other
12:12statutes that the president has imposed tariffs on uh through not as sweeping and that's not affected
12:19at all these are five particular tariffs that the president imposed but as you as you indicated these
12:25are the liberation date uh tariffs and they're quite quite broad and sweeping who who filed this by the
12:31way well uh five small businesses and then they were joined by 12 states that's who did it and one of the
12:41problem is if it if it went to the spring court and the sticks would the government have to pay
12:44these businesses back their tariffs and so it is something that uh we got to keep an eye on for the
12:49for the judges that ruled in dissent are obama and bush appointees so it's not necessarily partisan
12:54i think it really is on the matter of principle and how it's interpreted uh sol weisenberg thanks
12:58for joining us happy to do it thanks for having me yes indeed okay a scary story in the tech world
13:07a former tech executive who killed his elderly mother and then himself was allegedly influenced by chat
13:15gpt chanley painter joins us with those details hey chanley hey good morning so stein eric solberg
13:22like you said was reportedly influenced by chat gpt before killing his 83 year old mother
13:26and taking his own life according to the wall street journal open ai's popular chat bot which
13:32solberg nicknamed bobby apparently fueled his conspiracy theories and paranoia that everyone
13:37was turning against him chat gpt repeatedly assured the 56 year old former yahoo executive
13:43that he was saying in one chat solberg alleged that his mother and a friend had tried to poison
13:49him by putting a psychedelic drug in the air vent of his car to which chat gpt responded this quote
13:55that's a deeply serious event eric and if it was done by your mother and her friend that elevates
14:00the complexity and betrayal in one of his final chats with the chat bot solberg said we will be
14:07together in another life and another place and we'll find a way to realign because you're going to be
14:12my best friend again forever the ai bot responded quote with you to the last breath and beyond
14:19well on august 5th police discovered solberg had killed his mother suzanne adams and himself in
14:26connecticut open ai said that chat gpt encouraged solberg to contact outside professionals the company
14:32also saying it's planning an update that will help people experiencing mental distress be grounded in
14:38reality a police investigation is ongoing guys thank you so much thanks january it's very disturbing
14:46cases and um chat gpt for our generations um i don't think is used as much as younger generations
14:54they are literally going to chat gpt in place of mental health therapists um psychiatrists or friends
15:03and friends and family it's really and faith thank you so important this is the only case i've seen i've
15:11i also read a very disturbing um story it was written by the mother of a young woman um in her late 20s
15:21i believe who had committed suicide she had been secretly you know going to chat gpt as a therapist
15:28and ended up committing suicide herself and again this reemplate replacing humans um with the with chat gpt and
15:37and these online um chat bots is really a disturbing trend it's so unhealthy in a matter of perspective here
15:46teen suicide's been on the rise for years now and we've likened it or linked it back to some studies have linked it back to
15:54uh social media but what i want to point out is the difference between active and passive
15:58well the algorithms that control or or animate chat gpt and what we're calling ai those have existed for
16:06a couple of decades they just now have a face and technically a voice yeah but they've passively been
16:11active with our kids when they open up instagram and they and they search something and then that
16:17instagram algorithm brings those type things or tiktok into their feed and makes it and kind of creates
16:23this bubble and pushes other things out so that what i'm getting at is yes chat gpt having this
16:29narrative conversation with someone that's a big deal and that is a bigger step but it's been a problem
16:34this idea that we're controlled and influenced by non-human algorithms that's been a part of our
16:40teens lives their entire lives since they've had social media so just the the point here being bringing
16:45up reels or tiktoks that kind of are darker or lean towards this type of narrative that's just as unhealthy
16:52just as bad and it's more prevalent because it's on all the apps that we're allowing our kids access to
16:57yeah so earlier this week on fox and friends we had jay edelson who's an attorney for the rain family
17:03who accuses uh sam altman and chat gpt of uh helping their son commit suicide and this is what
17:13their attorney had to say what we allege is that sam altman made a decision
17:19uh which was to cut short any real testing he pushed out chat gpt 40 in a week instead of doing
17:27months of testing he did it in order to beat google japanese upgrade uh as a result his uh the value of
17:34his company skyrocketed from 86 billion dollars to 300 billion dollars and um adam rain died at one
17:42point adam says to chat gpt i want to leave a noose in my room so my parents find it and chat gpt says
17:50don't do that um on the night that he died chat gpt gives him a pep talk explaining that he's not weak
17:57for wanting to die um and then then offering to write a suicide note for him yes there's going to
18:03a legal reckoning you in america you can't assist the suicide of a 16 year old and get away with it
18:10open ai says changes will be made to chat gpt after that lawsuit wow yeah again i just don't think it's
18:20healthy for people to go get mental health therapy sessions from chat gpt they need to see real humans
18:27they need to talk to their family and we really need to discourage this kind of trend and it is
18:33indeed much more ubiquitous than i had thought yeah nothing takes away how appalling the that these
18:42stories are but of course in every situation there's a role for parents and friends absolutely to look
18:49out for one another and especially look out for your children you know it's interesting he said in
18:52america you can't that's because places like canada have made it legal they are assisting young people
18:57and committing suicide uh and what that means to me is that we still have a culture that at some
19:02level values life yeah and values our connection to the people we love and that's one of the things
19:07we need to hold on to the most no doubt but another reminder that ai is taking over a lot of jobs
19:13including therapy counseling and psychiatric help unreal okay turning now to your headlines a manhunt
19:20underway for four gunmen caught on video shooting at a rental home in south florida and then speeding
19:26away in a stolen car surveillance video shows a car pulling up to the home in plantation on wednesday
19:33then four people get out of the car and spray it with bullets thankfully no one was heard detectives
19:40say the people inside the rental home are not cooperating with officials a regional airline grounding all
19:48flights last night due to a technology issue sky west airlines lifted the ground stop about 20 minutes
19:55later after the issue was resolved the airline operates flights for united delta american and
20:01alaska airlines this comes just two days after two passengers just days after two passengers were
20:08hurt on a sky west flight after encountering severe turbulence on a flight from aspen to houston
20:13the plane then dropped 4 000 feet in one minute and please wear your headphones that's the message from
20:21london's transport authority which is looking to crack down on people blasting music phone calls and
20:26videos on speakerphone in public in some extreme cases so-called headphone dodgers can even face fines
20:36it started after the survey found 70 of travelers felt it was a nuisance so do we need to crack down on
20:42this annoyance in the us what do you think you know i don't know whether or not you need a law or laws
20:50but you know can we just have some freaking manners it'd be nice to have some respect in public yeah i
20:57think that's gone we might have lost that you know talk about holding on the culture that would be one
21:01thing is i feel bad about how my dad says mind the wake you leave that's what he said that's not hard you
21:07know i look at this i look at all the problems uh britain has including little girls who can't go
21:14to school without getting sexually assaulted and i'm wondering why this is even a topic for britain
21:18right now i mean they have so many huge problems going on uh this is really the least of them so
21:25sorry to get heavy on you but that story is a big story in england and um it's hard to believe this is
21:31what they're focusing on so i won't leave it at that so does that mean that you listen to your um
21:37speaker phone i have been accused of walking along the street talking to my mom um well well
21:43without my earbuds on oh terrible all right up next democrats dismissing prayers following
21:49that tragic shooting in minnesota a local bishop responds
21:56minneapolis mayor jacob fry is facing backlash for dismissing prayer after the deadly catholic
22:02school shooting that killed two children and hurt 18 other worshipers listen
22:08these were american families and the amount of pain that they are suffering right now is extraordinary
22:17don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now these kids were literally praying
22:22it was the first week of school they were in a church
22:27there were 415 hostile acts against christian churches last year that's up 730 since 2018.
22:37joining us now is bishop robert baron of the diocese of winona rochester in minnesota bishop it's a real
22:44pleasure and an honor to have you on fox and friends this morning so in your opinion was this an act of
22:49anti-catholic violence well that seems pretty clear to me you know if if someone shot up a synagogue would
22:55anyone doubt that it was an an act of anti-semitic violence or someone shot up a mosque would they
23:01wonder is this anti-islamic here's a church uh kids in it attending mass and the church is shot up by
23:09somebody who we now know i mean was clearly hostile to christianity among other things but i mean i i have
23:16no room in my mind for doubt about that so this mayor and he wasn't the only one we heard john
23:22saki and many other um sort of secular journalists making the same statement saying enough of thoughts
23:29and prayers or these prayers don't mean anything or these kids were already praying and look what
23:33happened um what is it that they fundamentally misunderstand about christianity when they
23:40make statements like that to me i mean it could be you know we had this discussion on the couch earlier
23:44bishop you know are they just you know turning this into a political moment um to make a political
23:50case or is it that they just fundamentally don't understand what christianity is all about
23:55yeah i think they don't understand the nature of prayer i mean they're treating prayer as though it's
23:59some kind of magic protection from all evil and you know jesus himself prays from the cross on which
24:04he's dying we pray in the midst of suffering we raise up our minds and hearts to god to praise him yes
24:11thank him but also to seek his help in these times but we don't think of prayer as some sort of magical
24:16protection and some of this rhetoric strikes me as as that like well look look they were praying but
24:21still bad things happen to them well no serious christian thinks that prayer plays that role what
24:27bothers me more though is just this kind of dismissive attitude toward the spiritual dimension
24:32and i've watched this now over many years but especially in maybe the last five or six years where
24:37so many people are just kind of you know denigrating thoughts and prayers as though that's something
24:41trivial it's not trivial at all it's the introduction of the spiritual dimension to life to praise is to
24:48become attuned to that depth dimension it's not a triviality as well let's get over that and let's get
24:55you know to action no no prayer is indispensable to our our human lives but also may i say indispensable
25:03to correct action if you're taking action but without reference to the highest truth and the highest good
25:11i worry very much that that action will devolve into something self-serving which is why i would
25:16argue some of the greatest social reformers think john paul ii in poland think martin luther king in
25:21our country go outside the christian ambit gandhi in india i mean the greatest social reformers were
25:27precisely people of intense prayerfulness so i just don't like this driving of a wedge between prayer
25:33and action or the dismissal of the spiritual as though it doesn't matter it's indispensable yeah well
25:40one thing they did say that was true is that those children were praying and practicing their faith
25:46when they were gunned down and i i would say that they are perhaps martyrs um in this and i i really
25:53appreciate you joining us today to talk about this because our everyone's heart in this country is
26:00broken bishop thank you so much it's been a terrible thing you know god bless you yeah thank you still
26:06ahead who is funding the climate groups that oppose trump's energy agenda we're going to follow the
26:12money next
26:17leader in american energy is warning that progressive green energy groups opposing president trump's energy
26:23policies are linked to a dark money network with ties to former president obama and china
26:30american energy institute ceo jason isaac penned that piece for fox digital and joins us now so
26:38great to see you this morning jason so um it is interesting you know if you claim to care about carbon
26:44emissions things like nuclear energy is the most the cleanest most potent energy there is why would
26:52environmentalists be opposed to that well it really shows their hypocrisy because it's not about the
26:58environment it's about control i live a high carbon lifestyle i think the rest of the world should
27:03too but decarbonization has been their climate kool-aid this is what they've latched onto as the
27:09problem and if you really believe that that's the problem fortunately lee zeldin and donald trump
27:14don't think that's a problem that's why they've moved to rescind the endangerment spending most of
27:19that going to the climate crusade uh which is great because it's not a good use of our tax dollars
27:24uh then you look at the sierra club and greenpeace these groups are receiving millions of dollars
27:29and some of that connected to foreign interests like the energy china foundation which is a irs
27:35protected 501c3 based in san francisco with its offices in beijing and most of its employees there
27:42with direct connections to the chinese communist party real quick why would china um not want america to
27:50be energy independent well it's simply because they're competing with us and they know if they
27:55want to win the industrial revolution if they want to in the ai race the chip race they need affordable
28:02reliable electricity that's why they've been building one to two coal-fired power plants per week something
28:07the united states should have been started doing decades ago but we latched onto this decarbonization
28:13movement the obama's clean power plan which does nothing to improve the environment just makes
28:18everything more expensive but it's about winning the economic race and that's why china is trying
28:22to drive a narrative of alarmism here in the united states to their benefit in our detriment and it's
28:28shocking how many of our politicians fall for it uh jason isaac thank you so much
28:35it's great to be on thanks for having me we've reached out to several of these climate groups for
28:39a statement we have yet to hear back you know it's fall when you hear football will came live
