‘The Five’: This is spiraling out of control

Why is it that a governor wouldn't accept free help from regardless? I mean, whether it's National Guard or the military or anybody, then we have a governor get up and say, oh, it's safe. We can handle it. He can't handle it. He's an incompetent guy.

That was President Trump today sounding off on his crime crackdown and calling out Democrat leaders running some of America's biggest blue cities. It comes as a federal judge blocks him from sending National Guard troops to stop the anti-ice violence exploding in Portland. And now Chicago and Illinois fighting for the same outcome. They've sued the administration over its move to send troops into the Windy City where this

weekend all hell broke loose. Watch this. Federal authorities opened fire on a woman who was allegedly armed with a gun shortly after their vehicle rammed and blocked in by a group of cars and in a separate incident. Chicago police accused of denying calls to help federal agents who

were surrounded by an angry mob. Chicago PD denies that.

Were they told to stand down? Our officers were not told to stand down. Our officers were not told to stand down. Our officers were out there throughout the entire event. I would never tell our officers to stand down because if our officers were in trouble and we needed help from other offices, I would expect those officers to step in and help us. And it's the same thing that we do on our side. When someone is in trouble, we're

going to step in Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are ramping up their

resistance to ISIS presence in their state.

Watch here.

Trump and the thuggery that his agents have brought has actively made us less safe.

The right wing in this country wants a rematch of the Civil War. I want that to sit in right now because the president of the United States of America has declared war on the people of Chicago. The order establishes ice-free zones. That means that city property and unwilling private businesses

will no longer serve as staging grounds for these raids.

All right, well, let's start here. Jesse, I think it seems increasingly difficult for Democrats to claim that there's nothing to see here when federal agents are literally getting attacked and you have it on camera.

So ICE has every right to enforce immigration law. It's the same immigration law that Congress wrote. If Democrats don't like the law, they can change it, or they can win an election, and they can put the ICE agents back on the bench where they were for four years. You cannot nullify federal immigration law

through anti-ICE zones, violence. You can't do it. It's Confederate action. And the federal government has every right to deploy federal resources to protect federal action that's being obstructed.

This is like basic stuff. And they're using really disgusting violence to protect a cheap supply of labor. When have Democrats done that before? Do they really want a rematch of the Civil War? They're doing really awful things, too.

They're shooting lasers in the eyes of people. They're spitting on them. They're threatening them. They're assaulting them. There's now $10,000 bounties that cartels have put on agents' heads because they're getting doxed,

and they want to put a death warrant out on them. The counties, the cartels have put on ICE agents' head because they're getting doxed and they want to put a death warrant out on them. And the Democrats don't want them to have a right to privacy. They used to love right to privacy, but now they can't have a right to privacy when they wear a mask.

I do want to talk about, because I'm the ombudsman for the legacy media, a lie that needs to be debunked about zip ties. You keep hearing Democrats, and I know Jessica will bring this up eventually, about ICE agents zip tying children. Well, I looked into it, and when you do a raid on an apartment complex

with 37 illegal aliens, and a couple of them are trende en agua, and the guy's living in an apartment building with a 17-year-old girl, and they can't prove that they're related, it's law to escort the girl,

detain her, and bring her to a either state facility or a guardianship so she can't be exploited anymore. Trinidad and Torogo is notorious for sex trafficking. You can't just allow these people to live together. And for Democrats to say they care about the children all of a sudden, they lost 300,000

of them. They lost them to sex slavery, to sweatshops. They're living in squalor now, and they didn't care. They're just using it now as a talking point.

Jessica, were you going to bring up zip ties, or would you like to now?

I wasn't going to, but I'm always down to talk about zip-tied children. So Jesse didn't really debunk anything He used an example of a 17 year old girl But the case that the Democrats were making about this was based on the eyewitness testimony of people who lived in that apartment complex Which ran at first on local ABC? So you should go watch that one woman. Okay, the woman was zip-tied. Okay, then it's all fine. That's the thing I I what I understand that you always young girl in the custody The woman was like, okay, then it's all fine. That's the thing. I

Young girl in the custody

Remember what would you do? I'm glad you didn't pronounce it in your full accent though The second time that you did it it makes you more serious of a human being But I don't think that that woman was talking about your 17 year old person who was being sex trafficked and either way We'll find out more of it as time goes on but you would certainly not deny the fact that Ice didn't need to pull all of those American citizens out of their homes in order to get at the trend Aragua members that they were going for you would also I would hope not deny the fact that the judge

Who ruled against the deployment to Oregon is not some lefty. She was a Bush-appointed U.S. attorney. She was on Ken Starr's team, and I love this. I just, you know, love a good quote when she's talking about what's going on in Portland and how you can actually look at the footage and see that it's on one square block and it's not like the mess everyone portrays it to be, similar to what happened in LA, that Trump's deployment was simply untethered to the facts. The Trump administration is getting pushed back left, right, and center.

The American people are saying no to this and the court system is saying no to this. You have judges who have been appointed by every president from Reagan up until Donald Trump and Joe Biden himself saying you cannot do this. No you don't. You have a judge right now in Chicago that just allowed the deployment. Chicago journalists are suing DHS for being for having excessive force used

against them and I know you love a good poll I'm gonna lead the a block with it CBS Trump is now minus 10 on immigration 58% opposed using the National Guard 70% of independents 61% opposed using active-duty military in our American cities they are trying to militarize the country and he says and Caroline Leavitt echoed it today in the press briefing you know well he just wants to work together. He's not picking up the phone and calling J.B.

Pritzker. He's saying I'm coming to take your cities and that's what he told all of the generals last week when he had them assembled. What are the Democrats in that poll? What? That in that poll? That's not how an answer the Democrats rate 58% opposed using the National Guard. It's not like Democrats

Yeah, they're like 20 points below what the Republicans are, but that's okay.

That's well, that's actually not true in this poll. It's 40% versus 32% approval, I think. I'll get Kayleigh in here. Um, because I was gonna ask you one thing about J.P. Pritzker, but now I've changed my mind. front. It's just there's so many legal cross currents. I don't know. I feel like Carrie and Homeland like where can I figure out where this is going? How does this how do we get to some sort of resolution before somebody gets killed? Yeah. So first, you cite the district court judge. I would note that the highest authority we have currently is the Ninth Circuit

who reversed the district court judge in the LA case. So, this very well could be reversed by the Ninth Circuit. I think it will be. When you look at the DOJ filing, I bring my primary sources when I'm on with Jessica, always. The 169-page DOJ filing requesting an emergency motion to reverse that judge. What you find in it is this.

Their legal authority is 10 U.S.C. 12406. They say in two cases, Donald Trump can federalize the National Guard. One case, you're unable to implement the laws of the United States. You cited the laws of the United States, its immigration law, as passed by Congress.

Unable to enforce that because ICE agents are being targeted. Number two, you can federalize the Guard if there's a rebellion against the authority of the government.

Well, ICE is government. There's a pretty clear rebellion against this authority. Go ask the Dallas ICE agents who were targeted with anti-ICE bullets. This is a rebellion against U.S. government sources. And also what's interesting, you only have to get 10 pages into this lawsuit. Here's what you find. Just to add to Jesse's list here, there's someone

who wielded a firearm at ICE in Portland. There's an individual you mentioned, the rocks, the sticks. Listen to this. Officers have been bitten, kicked, shot with paintballs, threatened with a machete and a knife, and assaulted with potentially blinding lasers. The protesters literally lit a material on fire up against the courthouse, and other protesters threw accelerants on the fire. That's just one fire.

There was another fire, too. That one was done with motor oil over the building of Portland Ice. Donald Trump is on strong legal footing. I can't speak to the one federal judge. I think they're going to get reversed. The Ninth Circuit sided with Trump once.

I think they'll do it again. You can't be biting ICE officers and lighting their building on fire.

OK, so Charlie, weekends are supposed to be easy, right?

Right.

You go on Fox and Friends weekend. You think, oh, you're going to have fun. You're going to jump around outside on some trampolines, do some bull riding, but no, like, the weekends, it feels like this is when these protests are ratcheting up, and it feels like so much news is happening at the time. And as I understand it, I believe it was yesterday morning,

Secretary Noem was on with you all, saying that there have been threats against them for kidnapping, um, for ICE agents, and the... she says that the threats are escalating. Do you feel, over time, as you've been covering all of these things happening since the summer, that it's getting worse

before it can get better?

Oh, I think it's definitely getting worse, and the fact that she just, we were actually talking to Secretary Nome before that interview, where she just sort of casually mentioned that this was going on, and we're like,

holy goodness, are you kidding me? And the idea that you're like, holy goodness, are you kidding me? And the idea that you're actually, and they're investigating who's behind this and who's putting up the money for these bounties, but $2,000 for attacking or kidnapping an ICE agent, $10,000 for killing an ICE agent.

This is shocking. And I get, on a legal front, I get squeamish about sending federal troops into cities to enforce the laws, but this is not anything normal. This is something very different. And like you said, Jesse, these federal officers, it's not a right to enforce the law.

They have an obligation to enforce the law. This is not a choice. These are duly elected, enacted laws. They have a choice. These are duly elected, enacted laws. They have no choice. And to have Brandon Johnson, who is an illiterate buffoon, up there ratcheting it all up, saying that we're going to take a more drastic response. How are you going to get more drastic than violent assaults on these agents?

The idea that we're going to have ice-free zones? And then, and I hate this, because whether I disagree with you or not, or whether you're a Democrat or whatever, I hate watching these scenes, and I hate language that ratchets it up. But for him to invoke the Civil War, are you freaking kidding me? Going back to the illiterate buffoon that he is, I don't think he understands his history.

And I know it's sort of unfashionable to study the history of the Civil War, but it might do some people some good to realize that the first shots fired in the Civil War were by locals in Charleston Harbor firing on Fort Sumter. And so this may be analogous to the Civil War, but Brandon Johnson is not on the side that he thinks that he is.

And I don't think that we, you know, we can sort of pull back from this. And the way you pull back from this is to enforce the laws and respect the laws that elected people have put on the books.

You know, the more that they talk about ICE as jackbooted thugs and disappearing people,

it is asking for more of this.

And fascists.

Right.
