00:00President Trump delivering on his campaign promise to make D.C. safe again.
00:05But in Chicago, the mayor is working overtime to stop the president's crime crackdown.
00:10Madeline Rivera joins us live in Washington with the details. Hey, Maddie.
00:14Good morning. So Chicago's mayor says he wants to protect the constitutional rights of people
00:19in his city from militarized immigration or National Guard deployment. So he signed an
00:24executive order to try and curb the power of federal law enforcement. The order states Chicago
00:28police will not work with the National Guard or federal agents on patrols, arrests and
00:33immigration enforcement. The order also reaffirms that police wear masks, body cameras and their
00:38official uniforms so they can be clearly identified. We will not have our police officers who are
00:45working hard every single day to drive down crime deputized to do traffic stops and checkpoints
00:53for the president. We do not want to see tanks in our streets. We do not want to see families
01:00ripped apart. We do not want grandmothers thrown into the back of unmarked vans. That's not who we
01:07are as a city. The president is repeating his argument that Chicago needs federal intervention.
01:13He says in a truth social post, six people were killed and 24 people were shot in Chicago last
01:18weekend. And J.B. Pritzker, the weak and pathetic governor of Illinois, just said that he does not
01:23need help in preventing crime. He's crazy. The president is touting what they've done in D.C.,
01:28saying D.C. is virtually in just 14 days a crime-free zone. Separately, FBI Deputy Director
01:35Dan Bongino is praising the agency's nationwide initiative to tackle violent crime during the summer
01:40months. Bongino saying the FBI and our partners have arrested 220 violent offenders just this week,
01:47bringing our total to over 5,700 since the operation began in June. Some of the people
01:53arrested are accused of making threats against the federal government and labor and drug trafficking.
01:58Charlie, Rachel and Joey. Thank you, Maddie. So let's bring in Fox News Sunday anchor and Fox News
02:04chief legal correspondent Shannon Bream. So good to see you this morning, Shannon. So, you know,
02:11it is kind of amazing how this political fight is unfolding in Chicago. And I don't know that
02:19Democrats are going to win the political argument here.
02:24Well, and you've even got the guy who was the co-founder of Third Way, which, you know,
02:28is this think tank out there that's been giving a lot of advice to Democrats. They were behind this
02:32memo of, like, stop using all these things like birthing person, stop using all these words.
02:35Um, they've also cautioned that this issue on crime is a tough one for Democrats because,
02:40you know, he says they're still trying to climb out of this conversation of looking like they're
02:45too soft or weak on crime, the defund the police stuff or whatever. And when this new AP poll out
02:50this week shows 99% of people think that crime is a problem in major cities, why are you arguing the
02:561%? I mean, there are ways that you can work together, Fed and state. Um, but it instead, um,
03:01I think the white house likes that it puts Democrats in this position of arguing, we don't
03:05need your help. We know our cities are crime ridden, but we've got it under control.
03:09It's interesting. Uh, Joey had a interview earlier this morning with a former career criminal
03:15talking about the crime, uh, you know, the crime approach by the Trump administration.
03:21Here's what he said, and we'll get your thoughts on the other side.
03:25I'll tell you what's going on right now. You don't know. I think we, it is going on where
03:29there's more undercover stuff happening than, than we know. First of all, how did they stop
03:33these people? Did they have probable cause to stop them? If they did, it's going to be
03:38interstate, uh, transportation. Uh, it's called the Hobbs Act, which is interfering with interstate
03:43commerce. So there's, I think the feds are in it. I think the president's task force is doing it
03:48already, to be honest with you. How does the feds know that was a $40,000 ring or a watch? Who would
03:55even believe a 10 year old kid has got a $40,000 Rolex on? Unless that guy is schooled in jewelry,
04:02he couldn't find it. And that's why I believe there is undercover stuff going on already.
04:07Hmm. Hmm. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, it's possible because what this administration
04:12says, it's doing the whole of attack, uh, using everything at its disposal essentially to do this.
04:18So, yeah, I could imagine that they're doing all kinds of things. Um, and listen, some of the best
04:22stuff that happens is undercover. So we don't know about it until crimes are actually busted up
04:26or alleged crimes. So I wouldn't be surprised if this administration is pulling every single lever
04:31it's got. And it's also trying to encourage, um, police who in a lot of places have been
04:35demoralized or feeling like if they do arrest, if they try to put a case together, it's not going to
04:40be prosecuted. You know, that's one of the things that, you know, now U S attorney, Jeanine Pirro,
04:44who's with us this morning on the show on Fox news Sunday is talking about like actually getting
04:48things to prosecution because why tell our officers, our men and women in uniform to go
04:52out there, risk their lives, put these cases together. If nobody's actually going to bring
04:56the case against the suspect. Yeah, absolutely. Hey everyone. I'm Emily Campagno catch me and my
05:02cohosts, Harris Faulkner and Kaylee McEnany on outnumbered every weekday at 12 PM Eastern or
