00:00New video shows the mayhem in Chicago's Brighton Park neighborhood early yesterday morning.
00:11The chaos unfolding after DHS says an agent shot a woman who rammed a border patrol vehicle with
00:17her car. We're also learning disturbing details about the Chicago police response or non-response
00:24to that incident. Christina Coleman is live with new reporting for us this hour. Christina.
00:30Hi, John. Multiple federal and Chicago law enforcement sources tell Fox News that Chicago
00:35police officers were instructed on their dispatch system with this message by their chief of patrol
00:41to not respond to the ramming incident involving federal agents outside Chicago yesterday morning.
00:47We reached out to Chicago PD for a response to this. We are waiting to hear back. Also,
00:52take a look at this disturbing video of anti-ice protesters cursing and throwing objects at law
00:57enforcement yesterday.
01:14This happened after federal agents were boxed in by the anti-ice protesters yesterday. This is just some
01:21of the chaos in the Brighton Park neighborhood of Chicago. There's been days of protest-related
01:26violence in that area now. Also, take a look at this.
01:37Seems like it never stops. This is from Saturday night. The photographer who shot this video says
01:43law enforcement deployed tear gas to break up the crowd. You can see how some of them continue to
01:47clash with law enforcement. At one point, anti-ice protesters attempted to block a major roadway
01:52in Broadview, Illinois, the same area where anti-ice protesters have been gathering for weeks now.
01:58Now, these two suspects were charged in federal court this morning with using their vehicles to
02:04assault, impede, and interfere with the work of federal agents in Chicago. DHS says they were part of
02:10a group of domestic terrorists who rammed federal agents with their vehicles and boxed them in with
02:16their cars last night and or actually yesterday morning in Broadview, Illinois. DHS says this woman,
02:22Miramar Martinez, was armed with a semi-automatic weapon and has a history of doxing federal agents.
02:28And the guy on the left of your screen there, he was identified by authorities as Anthony Ian Santos-Ruiz.
02:35They say he was driving one of the other vehicles during this attack on law enforcement.
02:40A 10-car caravan followed and stalked our agents and then circled them in and pinned them down. They
02:48had to shoot their way out of their cars in order to get to safety. So we do have some bounties that
02:54have been released on the heads of our agents. $10,000 to kill them and they're naming specific agents.
02:59Yesterday, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker said he was notified that the Trump administration
03:06intends to federalize 300 members of the Illinois National Guard, a move he strongly opposes.
03:11Pritzker said, quote, the Trump administration's Department of War gave me an ultimatum. Call up
03:16your troops or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a governor send military
03:22troops within our own borders and against our will. Pritzker maintains there's no need for military
03:27troops on the ground in Illinois and he says he will not call up the National Guard. Other
03:32Democratic leaders in the state also weigh in. There is no emergency here in Chicago or in the
03:39state of Illinois. And quite frankly, our city is not a sandbox for Donald Trump's attempts to play
03:47dictator. But considering the days of violence that we've seen there outside of the ICE facility in
03:54Broadview, Illinois, others feel differently, they believe Governor Pritzker should be welcoming help
03:58from the federal government. He's doing everything he can to foment hostility towards these ICE agents
04:06to undermine federal law enforcement, to undermine federal law. Also today, California Governor Gavin
04:14Newsom said President Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon,
04:19since a federal judge blocked Trump's attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard.
04:24Newsom says he is going to sue the Trump administration over this. John?
04:28Christina Coleman. Christina, thank you.
04:34Let's bring in former DHS advisor Chuck Marino. Chuck, the governor of Illinois says,
04:39hey, Chicago doesn't need any help, doesn't need any federal troops. The
04:43video that we just saw would seem to suggest otherwise. Well, you would think they would
04:49want the help. And it's reprehensible that not only are they allowing this behavior,
04:53but they're encouraging it. And I got to tell you, this is achieving something else for the American
04:58people to witness. It's forcing governors like J.B. Pritzker and Tina Kotech in Oregon and Gavin
05:07Newsom in California to really force their positions. And that is that they want to protect
05:14criminality in all of its forms. They're protecting criminals, whether in the country legally or illegally.
05:21They're protecting domestic terrorist organizations like Antifa, who are operating out of Portland,
05:28Oregon and have since their start. And so this is exposing Democrats for what they are prioritizing.
05:36And that is an abandonment of law and order and those that wish to do harm to those in the country
05:44legally that are following the laws each and every day. There were a lot of people, especially on the
05:48Democratic side of the aisle, who didn't like President Trump's deployment of National Guard
05:53troops to Washington, D.C. But that seems to have made a difference. Listen here to the Speaker of the
05:59House on that. I've talked with National Guardsmen who are here in D.C.
06:05D.C. They're proud of the work they've done. And the people here are benefiting from it greatly,
06:10not Republicans, everybody, because it's a safer street. This is the most, this greatest nation in
06:15history of the world, this most beautiful capital city. It should be safe. The model here could be
06:19the model elsewhere. And in a few of these blue states and deep blue cities that are run by
06:25soft on crime mayors, they need some help. So why doesn't the mayor of Chicago and the governor of
06:30Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, why do they not seem to want any help from the National Guard?
06:36Yeah, that's the big question. I've said from the start that Washington, D.C., what we were seeing
06:41there was going to serve as the model for the rest of these sanctuary cities and that President Trump
06:46should expand the operations to those sanctuary cities that have extremely high crime rates. I mean,
06:53some of the crime rates in these cities are rivaling third world countries and in some cases exceeding that.
06:59So where you see state and local law enforcement working together with ICE and other federal
07:05agencies and then being supported by the National Guard, let's remember what they're doing there.
07:10They are protecting the safe operations of federal agents who are enforcing the law.
07:16So everything that J.B. Pritzker and others are talking about in terms of President Trump sending
07:21the National Guard after the American people is not true. These are all falsehoods.
07:27They are meant to scare and misrepresent those in their districts who oftentimes want to see
07:34those additional resources come in and solve this criminality, which is out of control.
07:41How they can deny that they've got a problem in these cities is just unbelievable.
07:46I will let viewers decide for themselves about Governor Pritzker's motivations.
07:51Here's what he had to say about all this. Listen.
07:54They want mayhem on the ground. They want to create the war zone so that they can send in
07:59even more troops. Now they're claiming they need 300 of Illinois National Guard. Well,
08:05we didn't need them before they showed up. And what they ought to do is allow us to work with FBI,
08:12ATF, DEA, who are civilian law enforcement and understand how to target and take out the bad guys.
08:19He says they want mayhem on the ground, referring to the Trump administration. It would appear that
08:25mayhem on the ground is what they already have. That's right. It's already existed. I take issue
08:31with his definition of mayhem. He's got to be consistent in it. Dozens of people shot every
08:37three-day weekend is not what I call civil society. It is absolutely out of control.
08:46When you've got that many people being shot and killed in a city, we're not even looking beyond
08:53throughout the entire state. So they've got a real problem there. Everything that he's saying
08:58flies in the face of common sense. And his voters have to ask, why does he not want the additional
09:04help from the federal government, which is so much needed on the ground there? And why doesn't he want
09:11to protect the men and women that are living in his city? I suppose he's made a political calculation
09:18that his base wants it this way. But according to a couple of authors, Paul Morrow and Chris Flanagan
09:25for the Ops desk, they write, Pritzker is banking and that progressive rhetoric will withstand the
09:30strain and that his base will continue to rally to him. He forgets why Donald Trump got elected
09:35to begin with. In the months ahead, the fight over immigration, state obligations,
09:39and national sovereignty will be cast in Chicago and its outcome will reverberate across the nation
09:45and into the nation's future. What do you think about that, Chuck?
09:49Well, that's right. J.B. Pritzker's theory was not proven correct in 2024 with the reelection of
09:56President Trump. And it continues. Look, President Trump's got the will of the American people behind
10:03him. They want to see this improve in their communities throughout the country. And I think
10:08sanctuary policies are going to become a thing of the past. Now, the Trump administration can do more
10:15to force that. I think there is no reason where you've got a police department like Chicago abandoning
10:20federal agencies out there who are being assaulted from still receiving federal public safety grants.
10:26Those dollars need to be turned off immediately. The power of the purse needs to be used.
10:31Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this dangerous foolishness.
10:36Because once again, when federal troops were under attack in Chicago, it appears from Christina
10:41Coleman's reporting that Chicago police were ordered to stay away. Chuck Marino,
10:47Chuck, thank you. Thanks, Chuck.
10:53Well, Marine One landed just a short time ago on the USS Truman in Norfolk, Virginia,
10:58where President Trump is set to deliver marks, honoring the 250 years of the U.S. Navy. Secretary
11:04of War Pete Hengseth and the First Lady also set to speak before the president takes the stage.
11:10This all comes less than a week after Hengseth and the president addressed an all-hands meeting of
11:16generals and admirals from around the globe at Virginia's Quantico Marine Base. The commander-in-chief
11:22told top brass the military must focus on a, quote, war from within. Madeline Rivera is in Norfolk with more.
11:29Madeline. Hey, John. Yeah, there's a palpable sense of pride here at the Naval Station.
11:35Norfolk, Virginia, as people witness the full power of the U.S. Navy. There's a jumbotron here behind
11:40me that allowed people to watch live footage of the events. So they saw the president's arrival on
11:45the USS George H.W. Bush and footage of some of the Navy's greatest assets. The Navy showcased their
11:51subsurface power with the USS Iowa, the Navy's newest Virginia-class fast attack submarine capable of
11:57launching Tomahawk missiles over 1,200 miles. We saw surface warfare, Arleigh Burke-class destroyers
12:03conducting live fire demonstrations. There were special operations demonstrations from the Navy
12:08Seals performing a helicopter fast rope insertion onto the USS Gonzalez. And there were many more
12:14events. People cheered as they watched, underscoring how much of a morale booster this is for members of
12:19the Navy, especially in the middle of growing global threats and the competition for maritime dominance.
12:27Coming from a family that's served in the military for so long, it's different being here. I thought
12:33that, you know, coming in, I really knew what I was getting into. But you have such this, like,
12:36strong sense of community serving in the military. And I've seen so many people just built my own family.
12:43And I think that that's something that a lot of people don't grasp until you're here,
12:47and you have the honor to be part of it. So the president may be celebrating the
12:52Navy's dominance, but it's the National Guard he's turning to as he looks to counter what the
12:56White House says is lawlessness in blue cities. The administration experienced a bit of a blowback
13:01yesterday after a district judge temporarily blocked the deployment of troops to Portland.
13:06Yet District Court Judge Karen Immigrant says, in part in her ruling, defendants have made a range of
13:11arguments that if accepted risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power to the
13:16detriment of this nation. President Trump was asked about the ruling today before leaving for Norfolk.
13:23Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectioners. All you have to do is
13:29look at the look at the television, turn on your television, read your newspapers. It's burning to
13:34the ground. The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives.
13:39And the Justice Department has filed its notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit. John, back to you.
13:51All right, Madeline Rivera there with the festivities in Norfolk. Madeline, thank you.
13:56A troubling arrest outside the Red Mass in Washington today, where police say a man was
14:02found with possible explosives. This as fallout grows over the lenient sentence for the defendant
14:08who plotted to kill Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Plus, that celebration of America's
14:15Navy underway in Norfolk, Virginia, where Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and President Trump will pay
14:20tribute to our brave sailors. We will bring you their remarks live right here on the Fox Report.
14:27Arrested a man they say was armed with possible fireworks or a Molotov cocktail ahead of the Red
14:33Mass in Washington. Officers say the 41-year-old set up a tent on the steps of St. Matthew's Cathedral
14:39and refused to leave when police approached. Investigators found possible fireworks and vials
14:44of liquid inside his tent. They also say the suspect had previously been barred from the cathedral
14:49premises. He's now charged with threats to kidnap or injure and possession of a Molotov cocktail.
14:56The Red Mass is an annual tradition marking the start of a new Supreme Court term.
15:00It is open to government lawyers and members of the judiciary, including Supreme Court justices.
15:09There's outrage after a Biden-appointed judge sentenced Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's
15:14would-be assassin to just eight years in prison. The Justice Department had called
15:19for 30 years to life. Madison Scarpino is live with more on that fallout. Madison.
15:25John, Attorney General Pam Bondi is vowing to appeal this sentence that many lawmakers are calling
15:31outrageous. People are infuriated by this, especially given the recent political climate and Charlie Kirk's
15:38assassination. A former Arizona Supreme Court Justice is very concerned about all of this. Listen.
15:44This is on the path to anarchy. When you threaten judges like this, they're really defenseless
15:52against these kind of charges. And I've personally been in this situation. It is absolutely terrifying.
15:59For weeks leading up to the incident, Nicholas Roski, who is transitioning to female and now goes by
16:05Sophie, did a lot of planning. He wanted to kill Kavanaugh over the Dobbs decision. He did research,
16:11bought multiple weapons that he traveled with cross-country before eventually calling 9-1-1 on
16:17himself only after seeing Kavanaugh's protective detail guarding his property. Now, Roski cried and
16:24apologized to Kavanaugh during Friday's sentencing, and it worked. The Biden-appointed judge, Deborah
16:30Boardman, called Roski's actions reprehensible, but she also commended him for confessing,
16:36and she says that she found Roski's remorse sincere. Now, Judge Boardman said she also took into account
16:42President Trump's executive order requiring transgender inmates to be in prisons that
16:47correspond to their sex at birth. So that's another reason for the lower sentence. Senator Eric Schmidt,
16:54who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, says the sentencing is outrageous and ridiculous.
16:59I think the grounds for appeal are strong. These weird musings about this individual being, you know,
17:07transgender and that, you know, coming into play somehow in the sentencing is wrong.
17:12And the Judicial Crisis Network president is calling Roski's sentence a disgrace and says that
17:19the judge's explanation for granting him leniency is absurd. John?
17:23All right. Madison Scarpino. Madison, thank you. For more on this case, let's bring in
17:30Y. David Scharf, a trial lawyer and litigator at Morrison Cohen LLP. The Department of Justice
17:37wanted 30 years. The guy gets eight. What do you think about that? It's barely a slap on the wrist
17:43for somebody who tried to alter the history of the United States by killing off an associate justice of
17:49the Supreme Court and then having the Biden administration try to replace him with a more
17:54progressive judge. It is outrageous. And it's very sad. And it's way below the federal sentencing
18:01guidelines. The federal sentencing guidelines out there were 30 years to life. That's what the
18:06Justice Department wants. 22 years less than that. That is what we call in the appellate law
18:14substantively unreasonable. And that's the basis for the appeal. That 22 years less than the federal
18:21sentencing guidelines was not justified for a downward reduction by Justice Boardman here.
18:26OK, so the Department of Justice plans to appeal. They plan to ask for a longer sentence. What are the
18:33chances they'll win? Well, they're going to the Fourth Circuit. And when we analyze the Fourth Circuit,
18:38we see that there are 15 judges that are up there. Nine have been appointed by Democratic presidents.
18:45Six have been appointed by Republicans. So the odds don't look good when you look at that. But if you
18:50look, you dig a little deeper, we see that there are Clinton and Obama appointees from the Fourth
18:56Circuit who have closely looked at issues when courts have had a downward departure from the federal
19:02sentencing guidelines and have said that those downward departures need to be well justified.
19:08I think Attorney General Bondi has got a good appeal and has hopefully a good chance of reversing
19:14this decision by Judge Boardman. I want to put up on the screen some of the Internet searches that this
19:21convicted would-be assassin made in the days before this attempt on Kavanaugh's life, a search of
19:29countries least likely to extradite to the US. In one statement, he said, yeah, but I could get at
19:35least one, meaning a Supreme Court justice, which would change the votes for decades to come. And I
19:40am shooting for three. People have killed judges before. And then did Google searches on how much force
19:47do you need to stab someone's neck and the most effective way to silently kill someone. Search the
19:53insanity defense. And then searched, does twisting or dragging a knife cause more damage? Um, was the
20:01judge aware of all of this kind of information before she made that recommendation before she's
20:06passed that sentence? Well, the judge clearly overlooked or decided that she wanted to weigh more heavily
20:13the information that she chose to weigh more heavily the remorse that turning themselves and turning
20:19himself in. But at the end of the day, you look at that evidence and you say that is somebody who
20:24wasn't just simply thinking about something and that if nobody, if he hadn't turned himself in, nobody
20:31would have known about it. He was planning this and there was protection for Justice Kavanaugh and other
20:37justices of the Supreme Court that I believe would have stopped a potential crime. This attempt was,
20:45wasn't just somebody thinking about doing something bad. This was somebody who planned, drove across
20:50the country. And that's why I think that the decision by Judge Boardman is going to be overturned,
20:56because it is substantively unreasonable when you're looking at what the crime was and the need for
21:03deterrence. I mean, we're dealing with a political environment where there have been two attempted
21:07assassinations of the president. There have been other attempts on other politicians. Politicians have
21:12been shot. Charlie Kirk was killed only a few weeks ago. He was a political figure. We absolutely need
21:19to have deterrence out there that makes a sentence for somebody who is convicted of a crime of trying
21:27to murder a justice of the Supreme Court be something more than a slap on the wrist, be serious,
21:33be deterrent. If you're going to act in the way they have, you've got to go away for 30 years to life.
21:38Quickly, this judge was a public defender before President Biden appointed her to the bench. Does
21:45that indicate that she has some sort of a bent toward the accused? Well, public defenders spend
21:51a lifetime and their careers defending the accused. And certain of those proclivities certainly come
21:59through in the way people approach things. This judge clearly thought a severe downward departure was
22:05appropriate. I think the Fourth Circuit is going to overturn it. I think General Bondi has it
22:09absolutely right to take it up on appeal. David Scharf, we appreciate your time today. Thank you.
22:15My pleasure. Glad to be here. Democrats are on edge in New Jersey as the governor's race heats up in
22:22that deep blue state. Some of them say missteps and shaky messaging by their candidate. Mikey Sherrill
22:28have opened the door for Republican candidate Jack Cittarelli. C.B. Cotton has the latest live from
22:33our New York City newsroom. C.B. Hey, John. Well, New Jersey, yes, is now at the center of a political
22:39firestorm that has some Democrats sweating. The governor's race between Democrat U.S. Congresswoman
22:44Mikey Sherrill and Republican former state assemblyman Jack Cittarelli is closing in and a federal
22:50government shutdown has just turned up the heat. Within hours of the federal government shutdown on Wednesday,
22:56the Trump administration announced its freezing of billions in infrastructure funds, including
23:01support for the Gateway Project. That's a massive train tunnel underneath the Hudson River linking New
23:06Jersey to New York City. U.S. transportation officials blamed furloughs, saying a review into how
23:13DEI factored into the project's contracts was now delayed. Sherrill, who's hammered Cittarelli as too
23:21close to Trump, blasted the move, suggesting it's proof that Cittarelli would side with the Trump
23:27administration over New Jerseyans. Well, Cittarelli fired back, blaming the stalled infrastructure
23:33project on the shutdown itself and slamming Sherrill's voting record as a lawmaker, accusing
23:39her of ducking bipartisan efforts to keep the government open. At a governor's forum this past Friday,
23:46Sherrill vowed to take the Trump administration to court over the frozen funds if elected.
23:51Cittarelli shrugged it off, suggesting his relationship with the White House is so solid
23:56he wouldn't need to. I think the state should be in court right now. And as governor, my attorney general
24:02would take this administration to court. This is a relationship business. I've got a relationship
24:05with the White House. We'll get things done for the benefit of New Jersey. Right now, Sherrill still holds an
24:10eight-point lead among likely voters. But Cittarelli is trying to make inroads, particularly among black
24:16voters who've long-backed Democrats. People are watching this race closely as Cittarelli makes those
24:22inroads. And Sherrill, a former Navy pilot, she once looked untouchable while she's now facing growing
24:30criticism for stumbling through policy questions and struggling to spell out her own platform.
24:36The ballot box was also rocked just two weeks ago after a report revealed she was barred
24:41from walking at her 1994 Naval Academy graduation amid a cheating scandal.
24:46Sherrill maintains she didn't cheat, but was punished because she didn't snitch.
24:51Cittarelli and other Republicans have called on her to prove it by releasing her military records.
24:57John? We'll see what happens. CB cut. Thank you.
25:00The government shutdown continues. No end in sight. Each side blaming the other for the impasse.
25:09Oklahoma Congressman and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole on that next.
25:19Biden denies telling Aris that there could be no daylight between them. Addresses former VP
25:25VIEW moment. Aris infamously told the VIEW in October she wouldn't have done anything different from Biden.
25:38Former President Joe Biden denied telling former Vice President Kamala Harris
25:43that there could be no daylight between them. While she was on the campaign trail and defended what
25:51was widely seen as a flubbed opportunity for the Vice President to differentiate herself from Biden
25:58during her October 2024 interview on the ABC show.
26:05Co-host Austin brought up her question posed to Harris ahead of the election. Austin asked at the same
26:12time if there was anything. Sorry, could you speed it up a little bit? Yeah. Too slow. Yeah. Sorry, my bad, man.
26:21It's okay. We could do it in post.
26:23Go host, Sonny Austin brought up our question posed to Harris instead of the election.
26:36Austin, at the time, if there was anything the then Vice President would have done differently from
26:43Biden and Harris said, not a thing comes to mind. Austin said the Vice President's answer was
26:50weaponized against her and asked Biden about the reporting that he had told Harris there could be
26:56no more daylight between the pair while she was campaigning. Well, look, first of all,
27:03I did not advise her to say that. Number one, like I said, I was Vice President. I understand the role.
27:10Number one. Number two, I think it was, I think she was talking about she wouldn't have changed the
27:16success we had, not opposed to we wouldn't change anything at all. She has to be our own person.
27:23And she was, she was. And so I think that way used in a way that can contrary to what she meant by when
27:29she said that. And I think that, you know, she was part of every success we had, the former president
27:35said. Now, a book written by reporters, Ami Parnas and Jonathan Allen alleged Biden would say publicly
27:43that Harris should do what she must to win. But privately, including conversations with her,
27:48he repeated an emotion that there would be no daylight between us. But the day of the debate,
27:54Biden called to give Harris a usual, unusual kind of pep talk and another reminder about the loyalty he
28:01demanded. No longer able to defend his own record, he expected Harris to protect his legacy. They wrote,
28:08whether she won or lost the election, he thought she would only arm him by publicly distancing herself
28:14from him, especially during a debate that would be watched by millions of Americans to the extent
28:20that she wanted to forge her own path. Biden had no interest in giving our room to do so.
28:26Austin asked the former president during the interview on Thursday to respond to critics who have argued
28:33that he should have dropped out of the race sooner to give Harris more time, noting that Harris campaign
28:41was roughly 90 days. Now, I say number one, that there were still six full months. She was in every
28:49aspect, every decision I made, every decision we made. And I don't think I hope I don't sound the wrong way.
28:56I don't think anybody thought we'll be successful as we were. Biden responded. Biden dropped out of the
29:04race on July 21st, 24 that left Harris within the full month of August, September and October to run our
29:11campaign. In addition to a few extra weeks, right? Now, the former president blamed sexism and racism
29:18for Harris's loss and revealed that he wasn't surprised by Trump's win.
29:22As a country, it's very difficult for people to believe that racism and misogyny,
29:30they're just alive and well. I think that we don't want to think that about ourselves,
