this is chicago! this is one of the major american cities -- it's chicago! 17 people shot? you are worried about president from going in and breaking? what is left to break? he is in their sweeping and cleaning the place up! i applaud the president with a big round of applause and open arms, send those federal agents in there and give the people of those cities the right to public safety. they are american citizens too. they deserve it. >> sean -- >> sean: alderman, let me go to you. >> if i could be clear, first and foremost let me say i am a democrat who also cares about the safety of my residence and the safety of all chicago' chic. it's not a lost cause for the party as a democrat that people should be safe and secure in their neighborhood but what we've seen time and time again is there have been so much pandering over twitter and getting into social media battles that even in my own city, our mayor and the president have gone on for weeks whether or not to have federal assistance. finally today's she said i'm okay with it now. how many of our children had to die becau

you know as paul in chicago thank you so much for your reporting. well let's go now to some other stories making news around the world protesters in israel have been keeping up the pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu for what they see as his government's mishandling of the coronavirus crisis israel has just recorded more than 2000 new cases one day. as prime minister has hailed the early filling of the massive dam on the blue nile river as historic the announcement came and said his country has reached a major common understanding with sudan and egypt over the controversial project. south africa's president cyril ramaphosa has announced that public schools will close for 4 weeks as converge of as confirmed coronavirus cases that rose to more than 400000 and he said it was important to ensure that schools did not become sites of transmission lines. with the latest round of talks between the u.k. and the european union have ended with a downbeat assessment from both sides the news chief negotiator michel barnier said a trade deal looked unli

>> chicago police say 14 people were shot following the funeral on the southside of chicago. going to step out of the way so you can take a look. we right now or at the university of chicago hospital. police say the suspects were driving by in a car and opened fire, driving away from the scene and later crashed, all suspects ran. one suspect in custody. happened at the 1,000th block of west 79th street and the victims were taken to five hospitals as you can see here at the university of chicago, very active scene. we've been here for 45 minutes to an hour now, a lot of people outside the emergency room and the lot of people driving by and of course still waiting to learn more on the condition of those 13 victims. >> sean: 14 victims, we've heard 11. is it possible, they talked about 60 when i was listening to the police presser, shell casings that have been found, is it even potentially higher? >> right now, we've only heard 14, but of course police are still investigating at this time. >> sean: sad thing is, we have 70 shot last weekend? ten and 11-year-old shot last weekend

the president called the mayor of chicago sending 150 federal officials to help chicago but the mayorat, threatening to sue when they step out of line. >> this is where politics and people step out of line. the mayor of chicago put politics over people far too long. glad she finally came to her senses saying we need the feds in chicago. that is the only way changes will happen. 3-year-old children should not be getting shot. funerals should not be shot up. there should not be 25 shootings in one day. just shouldn't be. elizabeth: you know there is voter reaction to the politicization of the violence. there is also been criticism of the president for trying to step in to help. let's watch a cnn reporter ask the president yesterday about the skyrocketing violence in your city of chicago and about how his predecessor barack obama dealt with this. watch this. reporter: 2016 you said it was president obama's fault that homicides were up in chicago. sew why was it the president's fault then but not your fault now? president trump: president obama was invited in and he did a poor job. presid

in this poll in chicago thank you. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in israel where protesters have been keeping up the pressure on prime minister benjamin netanyahu what they say as his government's mishandling of the coronavirus crisis israel has just recorded more than 2000 new cases in. his prime minister. country have breached a common understanding and sit down and egypt over a call. project. africa's president cyril ramaphosa has an ounce of public schools will close for 4 weeks as confirmed coronavirus cases grossed more than 400000 he said it was important to ensure that schools did not become sites of transmission in the. latest round of talks between the u.k. and the european union have ended with a downbeat assessment from both sides the news chief negotiator michel the body has had a trade deal the unlikely for the u.k. david frost also admitted there was a long way to go. or german court has handed down jail sentences to several men convicted of raping

shannon: he joins us from chicago with his message. thank you for being here. your message to the mayor? >> my message is clear that residents should not be a partisan issue, should not be a twitter campaign to take shots at the president who you may or may not agree with, there are things i don't agree with that this president does but i'm not willing to put that partisanship above the safety and security of the residents of the city of chicago. >> 51% rise in murders, 47% rise in shootings year-over-year, 2019-2020. if we had a democrat president would cities like chicago be as opposed to federal intervention or if we had a president that wasn't donald trump? >> i think a lot of this stems from the fact that it is donald trump because chicago had no problem accepting $1 billion in federal assistance to fight covid-19 but now that we are trying to fight the anarchists trying to subvert our city all of a sudden we have a problem with it. my community on the southwest side of chicago always worked well with law enforcement and federal partners to try to break up

in one incident in recent memory in chicago. at 6:30 p.m. tonight four individuals in a black vehicle opened fire in the south side of chicago outside a funeral home, 14 people were shot. some of those and opening opening fire on that vehicle. we do not know the specific conditions of the victims, only the most are in serious to critical condition. they have been sent to five area hospitals, 60 gunshot casings have been found on the scene, suspects trashed that vehicle and fled the scene. police have one person of interest in custody. the motive is unknown but we know one officer was assigned to protect that funeral as a precaution. the funeral was for a man that was shot and killed a mile and a half away from that funeral home. the shooting happened amid a major spiking gun violence in chicago where you today shootings are up 47% and murders are up 51%. before this shooting donald trump reportedly signed off on sending 150 homeland security investigative agents to chicago to reinforce local law enforcement there. witnesses to t

violence in chicago.is. >> we're all for peaceful protest but when you have people dropping off frozen water bottles and sharpened pvc pipes during demonstration under cover of peaceful protest. >> i support you. there you go. >> yeah. elizabeth: you have oregon democrat earl bloom men thank you from the senate floor saying that portland is not out of order. why do democrats say that. >> they're kissing up to very violent and radical political base. maybe squeaky wheel gets the grease on the left. americans need to pay attention to it. not every democrat is speaking up to this. oregon senators this is too widespread for us to take casually. this is bad pattern. chicago morphing what looked like a peace pull protest, that injured 49 police officers. superintendent brown, head of the police in chicago, gave a brilliant press conference. urge viewers to pull it up on youtube, before he gets to the q and a. shows it very clearly what looks like a peaceful protest was designed and changed into a violent assaul

in as fall in chicago thank you so much for your reporting. president trump meanwhile has canceled the florida portion of next month's republican national convention the 4 night event was expected to draw more than $10000.00 people to celebrate trump's formal nomination as the party's candidate for the november election but florida now seeing a spike in corona virus cases the president says safety is his main concern but i looked at my team and i said the timing for this event is not right just not right with what's happened recently the flare up in florida to have a big convention it's not the right time it's really something that for me i have to protect the american people that's what i've always done that's what i always will do that's what i'm about. well let's go now to some other stories making news around the world a u.s. an f. 15 fighter jet that flew close to an iranian passenger plane was at a safe distance according to u.s. officials but iranians or as i say the mahanta air flight was forced to descend quickly to avoid a collision

they don't care about the people in and the city of chicago. the children who have lost their lives they are since the beginning of the year and neither does the mayor. mayor lightfoot. i have to tell you, laura, i think about all the children across this country that have been so badly affected this year. not only with the violence in the streets, but with covid the, not being able to go to school. now we have a bunch of adults who act like children and put our children's lives in danger because of their political and divisive. and what we are seeing across the country is something that i believe can get far worse if something doesn't happen. if something doesn't stop this, this escalation of violence. i talked to law enforcement officials today, many of who told me, look, if we don't get the kind of backup support we need, a lot of people are walking off of the jobs. they are retiring. they will leave law enforcement. what happens to the citizens when that happens, laura? >> laura: i would say the same time a debate is going on in chicago abo

president thinks that surging the amount of federal law enforcement personnel to chicago will solve chicago's crime problem gang crime problem that these all denies to crime violence latest incident just yesterday 14 mourners at a funeral home were shot by in a drive by shooting now indication here that this is gang related. that the people who came out of the funeral home and were shouted out of the driving recall shocked beck so everybody walks around with guns if you're in a game and you're organized crime then that's very likely that is what mr trump the president wants to tackle with sending federal law enforcement personnel in as you have heard chicago adamant about if this is coordinated and collaborative then they have no problem always good to have more boots on the ground to fight organized crimes and gangs but a situation like in portland is very very different that has nothing to do with the operation he announced yesterday portland is separate this is operation legend what he's doing now named after a little boy his name is legend fierro and he was shot in kansas city just a mont

federal agents now head to chicago. >> reporter: an uptick in violence in chicago, 14 people were shotey left the funeral on the south side. police say and suv pulled up and started firing.

they are already doing that in chicago. status quo from the president. >> bill: all right, ted, here it is. the measure includes 100 people, many of whom continue to do the regular jobs as you point out but be able to help fight street crime as it arises. would this not be helpful based on what we have been watching for the past couple of months, ted? no, absolutely no. let me just tell you, neil, that crime in chicago, you've got that gang turf out here and gain more. and the fact about it is, 100 men, women are not going to make the difference in chicago. what is going to have to happen in chicago is that the citizens, the citizens are going to have to get involved and the help to take back of their neighborhood. >> bill: that is a fact, ted, thanks. i called you wheeler. i will never do that again. wheeler is the mayor in portland. thank you, ted, and the judge right now what the president can do with federal authority. judge, size it up for us. what would be used? >> good afternoon, bill, always a pleasure to be with yo

we want to make our products in chicago, not shanghai. we want the american dream for american children, and i will fight to deliver that dream every ounce, every single ounce of my strength, i will be fighting. but opportunity cannot thrive violence,e is prosperity, whether there's bloodshed, and security cannot exist where there are violent criminals who are able to maim and murder with impunity. that is what operation legend is all about. that is why we are here today to answer the please of those of those crying for justice and help. for those people in chicago and other cities where we will be, help is on its way. i would now like to ask attorney general william barr -- she is doing a fantastic job -- to explain operation legend in greater detail followed by weing secretary wolf, and will hear from loved ones of fallen americans. i will ask sam and jerome powell to the podium and we would love to hear them say a few words in honor of their loved one. please, bill. thank you, mr. president. especiallye to thank the families of the vic

on the streets of chicago? no. donald trump is sending 200 people, 200. that means there will probably be no more than 100 of them on the street at any one time, and that's not enough law enforcement personnel to stop anything in chicago, but it is enough to start something. it is enough to draw a crowd of protesters against the trump troops in chicago. and we have seen that the trump troops do not require the slightest bit of provocation. no provocation at all to start rioting themselves exactly the way the chicago police did in 1968. here is a video of what is now the trump police riot that has gone viral of a navy veteran in portland who literally stood there, stood there doing absolutely nothing as the trump troops did, exactly what donald trump wants them to do. >> donald trump is playing with fire tonight. he is hoping for fire in portland tonight, and he is hoping for more fire in chicago. the viewers of this program know my book about the 1968 presidential campaign is entitled "playing with fire." it re

leaders in the chicago community.n you were growing up, or now that you're living in chicago, do you feel discrimination or have you bypassed it? john: i have to say, when people think about minority business it's typically around what they call supplier diversity. construction, catering, things that are about procurement. and my mom had this challenge when she was building her law practice, and my dad did too, that people didn't think about hiring a minority lawyer to do their transactions. the same thing when it comes to money management. we were the first african-american money management and mutual fund to start in the country's history. when we went to see people they never thought to hire someone who was african-american to manage their money or have our mutual funds in their 401(k) plan. david: you mentioned melody hobson. for those who don't know, she's the president of the company. you're the ceo of the company, she's the president. john: yes. david: she also went to princeton. you hire people who don't go to

american communities plagued by violent crime donald trump says federal forces will be deployed to chicago and albuquerque democrats say it's a political stunt to boost a flanking reelection campaign. this is out there at live from doha also coming up in the program the spying claims and a mysterious fire china has ordered to shut its consulate in the u.s. to diffuse them as a diplomatic born 20 five's. california now has the largest number of coronavirus cases in the us a passing new york. the self-confessed middleman in the murder of a maltese journalist was found with severe knife wounds hours before he was jew to give evidence in court. so that he's been criticized for his response to the west in corona virus pandemic and to the demands for racial justice following george floyd's death but with just over 3 months to go before the presidential election donald trump is taking action and talking tough on 2 other fronts as administration has ordered that china's houston consulate to be shut down and the latest move against beijing. and in the past couple of hours the president's announced

that is chicago. these are real people. so i strongly suggested everybody reevaluate their position and put politics in the lock box and reconsider these are human lives. if this 3-year-old girl was going to live a regular life, we have 77 years without her right now. the president is doing the right thing and under authority. i was there. >> on that note, i want to play this kayleigh mcenanysound bite. she was asked if this is a distraction and i'll get you final thoughts on this, jessica. >> the president has been very clear for years that violent crime is a priority. we saw it going up at the end of the obama administration as the attorney general said yesterday. finally started to come down under president trump's administration and now with this defund the police movement, we're seeing it creep back up. this is about protecting the american citizenry. >> is that a valid question, whether this is distraction from coronavirus? >> i think it's a valid criticism for sure when you think that we have 142,000 people that have

we want to make our products in chicago, not shanghai. we want the american dream for american children, and i will fight to deliver that dream. every ounce, every singe ounce of my strength i will be fighting. but opportunity cannot thrive where there is violence. prosperity cannot flourish where there is bloodshed. and security cannot exist where there are violent criminals who are able to maim and murder with impunity. that is what operatin legend is all about. that is why we are here today to answer the pleas of those crying for justice and crying for help. for those people in chicago and other cities where we'll be: help is on its way. i'd now like to ask attorney general william barr, who is doing a fantastic job, to explain operation legend in greater detail, followed by acting secretary wolf. and then, we'll hear from loved ones of fallen americans. i'll ask sam vigil and charron powell to the podium, and we'd love to hear them say a few words in honor of their loved one. thank you very much. please, bill. attorney general barr: t

do what they are doing right now in chicago and new york. >> sean: i misspoke. 14 killed? 14 shot. we make a mistake. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham? >> laura: terrific show. we've got a lot to get through tonight. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. breaking news out of chicago, as sean just said, according to police, 14 people injured, most of them shot near a funeral home iin the community called arba ad said there was some kind of planned ambush outside the funeral home where a memorial service was going on inside for a homicide victim. at the end of last week in chicago, murders were up 51%, shootings were up 44%. 47%, actually. despite those staggering numbers, merit lori lightfoot has presided over a city that has turned into the wild west. let me make this as clear as i canhi make it tonight. it is open season on the citizens of chicago and the mayor cannot be bothered to accept real federal help. do you know why? because of her seething hatred for donald trump. that is outweighing her concern for the citizens that she is supposed to be serving. th

here is the result in chicago.n the last month alone, literally hundreds of americans have been gunned down there. just last night for example, at least 15 people were shot in a single incident outside a funeral home in the city. some of that chaos was caught on surveillance tape. watch this. [inaudible] >> tucker: the first thing you notice about that tape after the sound is that it was light out. the killers pulled up in full view and simply started shooting people with impunity. bodies fell on the sidewalk, the wounded screamed, but the gunfire continued. this wasn't baghdad. it was america's third-largest city. it's hard to believe this is happening here, but the activists don't care. they made this possible. they did this, but they're not organizing marchesos to protest this violence, they're ignoring it completely. the white house is not ignoring it, the administration has said it was under federal law enforcement agents to chicago to restore order to stoi these killings. the city's mayor, living parity haven

so as we continue to monitor the situation outside the chicago funeral home, chicago police superintendent david brown says his officers were ambushed during violent crashes between processorprotesters and police. on monday night mayor lori lightfoot pointed the finger of blame at the leadership of the police union. >> the things that the federal government -- that the trump administration wants to do, appear to have the support of the police firemen released the police union in your city. we've seen incidents -- sorry? >> not our police department. with got an unhinged leader of the fraternal order of the police who is craven and trying to generate attention. >> shannon: let's discuss the mayor's accusation and the bigger picture of chicago violence with this playing out tonight with author and chicago police officer martin fry. good to have you back, martin. >> good to be here. >> shannon: i don't know if you had a chance to see one of the gentleman that was a witness to what's played out in chicago tonight, he says he feels like it's in iraq, more police and the streets, more federal tr

wednesday in chicago. a 3-year-old, another 3-year-old was shot in chicago. the superintendent, the police superintendent, david brown a proud black man said that get this number. there's 117,000 gang members in chicago. 117,000. you heard right. that's 7% of the city. i mean, it's an incredible number. there's 55 major gangs in chicago. you know, you watch this amateur theatric in portland where the mayor grandstanding and then, you know, getting it thrown back at him from the very demonstrators that he's trying to suck up to. that is nothing. that is just play acting. look at chicago with another 3-year-old shot. ten more in total shot yesterday. three more killed. what are you going to do? there's 12,000 cops in chicago, 117,000 gang members, bill. >> bill: it's a mountain to climb. leo, what would you do? >> bill, i'll tell you right now, it's so obvious. three quick points. the president is spot on and legally correct to go in to these cities. because he has the authority to enhance the fbi, the dea. and the pundits of these other cable networks saying h

the chicago police union.he police in chicago have a long history of cooperating with the federal government to violate the rights of people in the chicago community. there is a real concern that that is what is gogoing to happn here. that the deployment of t these troops that has been done to t y , andell these protests that is s unconstitutional. that is something thahat will absolutely be challenged in court. the issue we have right now is the chicicago police depepartmet has systematically attempted too chill first amendment rights of protesters. and thahat has been happening oa regularr basis and happening ina very systemamatic way. the overlalay of additional federal troops is deeply disturbing and what that might mean for the city's protest. amy: sheila bedi, thank you for being with us. you are suing on behalf of mimiracle boyd? >> miracle boyd will be filing a civil rights lawsuit. amy: sheila bedi is a professor of law at t northwestern university, lawyer representing miracle boyd. when we come back,

and this is happening in chicago.o the law enforcement gets caught in the middle. >> martha: you know, with regard to what has been said about this, one of the things that doesn't get talked about is gang violence nature of this. i wonder if you think as someone who has overseen and worked in several cities as you just pointed out, is the protest and everything that is going on tonight that we have seen over the past few months, does that pull the attention away and allow the gangs to operate with a little bit more freedom? >> yes, probably the case, martha, but there is a much bigger dynamic going on for years now when we talk about this frequently. ever since ferguson, the police have been on the hills, hamstrung criminals have been involved in here in chicago, we see that exponentially getting worse on a daily basis. police officers are devastated. they are afraid to do their jobs. and they are afraid they will be attacked emotionally, politically on a daily basis. excuse me. so yes, there is a lot of that going on

chicago thank you. well take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in the united states where new unemployment claims have risen by 1400000 in just a week bringing the official total to 32000000 is due to a spike in coronavirus cases of marks the 1st increase in jobless claims since late march. the latest round of talks between the u.k. and the european union have ended with a downbeat assessment from both sides of the use chief negotiator michel barnier so the trade deal looked unlikely for the u.k. david frost also admitted there was a long way to go. and africa's president still rob opposed to has announced that public schools will close for 4 weeks as confirmed coronavirus cases rose to more than 400000 he said it was important to ensure that schools did not become sites of transmission. 5 west african leaders are in mali for crisis talks about the future of president abraham. because britain are facing calls for his resignation over corruption and folk wrecking

army troops began arriving in chicago in substantial numbers this morning. planeloads but they will be available to reinforce some 5,500 illinois national guardsmen, 2,000 fbi, secret service and other federal agents, and the 11,000-man chicago police force. >> we're concerned about the buildup of force. anything that's built up like this is liable to be used. >> you're a girl, are you afraid of violence that may occur? >> there will be violence, yes, no doubt about that. i'm not afraid of it. >> about 500 students, hippies, yippies, radicals, activists, mccarthy kids, and other demonstrators marched four miles to the hotels housing the democratic convention delegates. they stayed on the sidewalks. they stopped for traffic signals and they did not try to cross police lines. >> you're here to work for a living, you wouldn't be out here. >> as the protesters marched back toward lincoln park, they clashed with police. >> we were told that we would have to leave the park at 11:00 at night. at 5:00, the police started beating people up. >> we want the park! we wa

there are issues with the chicago police.re are these fraught ties between the law enforcement communitiment some of these neighborhoods, political leadership. and i think what's especially unfortunate and distressing to a lot of people is that some of the politicians there appear to be more interested in getting into finger pointing, chest puffing, power matches with the federal government, with the subtext of battling president trump than actually cleaning up a giant problem that's not just a theoretical problem. it's a human problem that is playing out with horrific results every single week in that city. >> harris: you know, i ask both of you this question, i will go to the one and the other, i'm looking at video playing out on the screens. who do these people think that their city belongs to? do they think they own that city or does it belong to america? it's an american city? they are within the borders of america. so, when the federal officers and it's interesting, because now the mayor lightfoot can't say well all the

take chicago.ys to the attorney general or the president, yes, i want your guys to work arm in arm, shoulder to shoulder as the attorney general said with my people, but i don't want them getting in people's faces, i don't want them enforces local law, i want them to work with my people. there is nothing wrong with that if they work on their own and she doesn't want them there under the constitution, they have to go. >> and we have heard that apparently these 200 members of the federal officers who are going to go are going to be under the direction of the u.s. attorney out there john losh who they trust and focus on gangs and drugs. judge, you cited chicago. when you look at portland though. if the local law enforcement under the direction of the mayor there will not protect federal facilities, you know that the president of the united states and the attorney general have every right in the world to order in frail assets that's in the law. >> yes it is. they have ever write to do so and derelict i

portland is a very different place in chicago but chicago should be calling us and so should philadelphia and detroit and others to go in and really help them because when you're losing many people a weekend, many, many people. you see the same numbers as i do. when you're losing these people, they should call us and say come on in. it's incredible to me but they are not doing it. at some point they will. at some point we may have no other choice but to go in. >> reporter: mr. president, are you looking at closing further chinese embassies in the united states? did you ask ambassador woody johnson to bring the british open to your property in scotland? >> president trump: i never spoke to woody johnson about that. sternberg is a highly respected course, one of the best of the world and i read a story about her today and that i had never spoken to woody johnson about doing that, no. as far as closing additional embassies, it's always possible. you see with going on. we saw the -- thought there was a fire in the one that we do close and everybody said there's a fire. there's a fire and i gu

this is chicago, a start-up city.ou just don't give up your. >> tucker: is a such a great city, a tragedy to see this. a beautiful, historic city. lori lightfoot, you don't want to get political but i have to ask you, what do you think she is thinking? >> my job is to do the best of my ability to be a mayor. we might not agree 100% of the time but with that said, what she is thinking okay you tried to stand our ground but now it's time to open our arms up and take the help from the federal government. i've been saying this for months if not years, this has to be about people. this cannot be about the election in november. what i've been telling everybody, they do not want to let the president hope because when it is a success and we bring crime down, they are afraid he will look like a success and it will help the election. we have to get rid of that nonsense. we have to focus on saving the city and saving these lives because we are losing lives at an astronomical rate. it is not fair to the communities. >> tucker: am

chicago as it's not not your fault? chicago as it isa it's not not your fault? —— disaster, the mayor is saying don't come in, the mayor is saying don't come in, the mayor is saying don't come in, the mayor is telling us not to come in, at some point, we can void that if we have to, but we may have to because it's out of control. i assume she saying that for political reasons. i think it's assume she saying that for political reasons. i think its negative political reasons. she's a democrats, i'm going to be nice, she's a democrat. she's making a big mistake. people are dying in chicago and other cities and we can solve the problem. they have to ask us, but we can solve the problem. why was it president obama stalled in 2016. you credit it as... president obama was invited and andy did a poorjob. president obama could've went into chicago and he could've solved the problem, and he didn't. in our case, they don't want us in. we can solve they don't want us in. we can solve the problem very easy. we are equipped with the best he income of the best people, and you
