i was very disappointed to hear this from eddie johnson.o is superintendent of a city, almost 2300 shootings to date. this is my hometown, very personal to me. my younger brother was in a car with two friends a couple years back, best friend died in his arms. i was on air with ed henry done this show discussing how my friend's brother was shot on his front porch two weeks ago. this has to stop. i have been calling for donald trump to get involved because local officials have proven they are inapt handling the violence. this is an opportunity for eddie johnson to sit with the president and discuss the issues of the day and seek out federal resources to stem the violence. this is a missed opportunity for him and the mayor of chicago. >> do you know eddie johnson? >> i do not know him. carley: getting to a statement from the spokesperson for the police department they say the value of the people of chicago are more important to him than anything that could be discussed but you speak about the violence. look at the number, 1707 chicago shooting

across the country, president trump targeted the one who was not there, chicago superintendent eddie johnson>> this person should be here, because maybe he could learn something. >> reporter: johnson decided to skip the speech, citing the president's immigration policies and what he sees as racial insults and hatred cast from the oval office. the president fired back. >> last year, 565 people were murdered in chicago. since eddie johnson has been police chief, more than 1,500 people have been murdered in chicago. >> reporter: in 2016, murders in chicago skyrocketed, but under johnson's leadership, murders are down nearly 30%. do you stand by your record? >> yeah, i do. i do. you know, when i was appointed superintendent, 2016 was a horrible year for the city of chicago. it was. and the experts predicted that we would surpass 2016 numbers. not only did we blunt it, we drove it down that first year by 23%. >> reporter: johnson is having issues of his own. he recently called for an investigation of himself after some of his own police officers found him asleep at the wheel of his own car and th

detainerach case, the was denied and eddie johnson wants to talk about values. no. ike johnson put aliensls and illegal before the citizens of chicago, and those are his values. and frankly, those values to me are a disgrace. i will never put the needs of illegal criminals before i put the needs of law-abiding citizens. it's very simple to me. [applause] president trump: so, when eddie johnson and many other people from lots of other regions and areas support sanctuary cities, it is really in my opinion a betrayal of their oath to the shield and a violation of his the to serve and to protect courageous police officers of chicago. i know some of them and they are the most incredible people. they could solve this problem quickly. [applause] it'sdent trump: embarrassing to us as a nation. all over the world, they are talking about chicago. afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. it's true. arece officers of chicago entitled to a police superintendent who has their backs and knows what he's doing. you're entitled to a police superintendent who sides with you, with the

the superintendent of chicago police, eddie johnson. since eddie johnson has been police chief, 1,500 people have been murdered and 13,067 have been shot. and chicago has the toughest gun laws in the united states. that doesn't seem to be working too well. lou: the chicago police department has some explaining to do. and their superintendent having the lack of grace to attend the police cheesms conference in his own city. we are going to take up why that might be. president trump addressing the international association of police chiefs noting the absence of eddie johnson. johnson said the values of chicago are more important than what the president said today. chicago's murder rate, let's just take a look. the murder rate is the tenth highest in the country. 23,013 people have been shot in chicago. the poverty level is 7 points higher than the national. can you imagine the sanction moan was hypocrisy and ignorance of johnson saying we did about this president? i mean, this is beyond contempt. >> it's outrageous. the truth of the matter

and eddie johnson wants to talk about values. number people like johnson put criminals and illegal aliens before the citizens of chicago and those are his values and frankly those values to me are a disgrace. i will never put the needs of illegal criminals before i put the needs of law-abiding citizens. it's very simple to me. so when eddie johnson and other people from lots of other regions support sanctuary cities, it's in my opinion a betrayal. of their own to shield and a violation of his duty to serve and protect. the courageous police officers of chicago and i know some of them and i know there incredible people who can solve this problemquickly . it's embarrassing to us as a nation all over the world, they're talking about chicago. afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. it's true. police officers of chicago are entitled to a police superintendent who has their back. you're entitled to a police superintendent who sides with you, with the people at chicago red people want this. and with the families of chicago, not the c

another thing, eddie johnson, we have a new mayor. lightfoot came into office in may. on shaky ground. he has only been couple months since the incumbent mayor coming into power. i think he is looking to buy in with new administration. charles: he took a principled stance on smollett situation. he looked out for his men. i was surprised, to a disagree and disappointed. officers coming up in the event, particularly people receiving awards along the southern border there, is a major divide, law enforcement, what it means to our country. it is odd it can mean some different things. some places we won't help federal law enforcement folks with criminals, to round up criminals. >> keep in mind, charles. that is not the cops. that is not the cops. they don't want to not help i.c.e. they would be rather helping i.c.e., because they know it has negative impact on the communities. it is mayors. democratic, left-wing socialist mayors and governors that are pushing their cops, telling the men and women in law enforcement. you will not work with those, with i.c.e. you will not supp

since eddie johnson has been police chief more than 1500 people were murdered in chicago. >> johnsonainst those remarks shortly after the president's speech. >> we are making measurable progress in creating safer neighborhoods and building world-class police department the entire country can be proud of. rob: the president calling empire actor jussie smollett after all charges were dropped in his alleged hate crime hoax. the president covered many topics, the key take away is the executive order. the police division -- >> attorney general william barr, the inspector general's probe of the russia investigation. a fox news exclusive, and the personal lawyer. >> that is completely wrong and there is no basis for it. i work on behalf of the united states. >> john durham is leading the criminal probe. william barr says he's making great progress. >> one of the reasons mister drum makes the kind of progress he's making is because director ray and his team have been outstanding in the support and responsiveness, to mister durham. >> he took a swipe at former director james come for his fail

since eddie johnson has been police chief, more than 1,500 people have been murdered in chicago. >> reporter: in 2016, murders in chicago sky-rocketed. but under johnson's leadership, murders are down nearly 30%. >> you stand by your record? >> yeah, i do. i do. you know, when i was appointed superintendent, 2016 was a horrible year for the city of chicago. it was. and the experts predicted that we were going to surpass 2016 numbers, not only did we blunt it, we drove it down by 23%. >> reporter: johnson is having issues of his own. he recently called for an investigation of himself after some of his own police officers found him asleep at the wheel of his own car and let him go without giving him a breathalizer test. >> a troubling pattern of wrongful police raids in the city have been seen. tomorrow, we will see how the raids go wrong and the trauma they can inflict on innocent families and their children. we will be right back. sleep this amazing? that's a zzzquil pure zzzs sleep. our liquid has a unique botanical blend, while an optimal melatonin level means no next-day grogginess. zzzqu

the president referencing police superintendent eddie johnson choosing not to attend. ttend and do you think that does a service to the community? >> i can't answer for superintendent johnson. of the former chicago police officer just to put on the uniform and represent the city of chicago in this situation would be an honor and i think it does hurt the more out of the department and hurts what direction we are going, puts politics ahead of everything else that's not the direction we should be going to we should be working together on putting our best foot forward to work together and respect the office of the presidency whether you like the president or not. if you don't like him beat him in the ballot boxes show up and represent your city. shannon: let's look at what chicago is dealing with. in 2019 through october 20, 413 murders in chicago so far this year, shooting incidents in chicago in 2019 through october 20, 1662, shooting incidents. anything the president had to say yesterday do you think that will help bring down these numbers? >> i'm excited about this exec

eddy johnson is one of the most respected leaders in policing today.ne a good job as it was mentioned earlier crime is on the decline. no one is happy about where we are. obviously you have to continue to push the numbers down. as far as chicago goes, i'm a native chicagoan. third generation. born and raised in this city. the people who live here to people who work here simply do not deserve to be held up to ridicule like the president just did. this is one of the greatest cities in america. and as she said, we're all americans. the president's job is to help where ever he sees a need for help. rather than just criticize. we don't take a knee to our elected officials here in the united states of the america. if superintendent chose not to attend the event he chose not to attend. we don't bow before elected officials in this country. and so i don't get the fact that we have a president who feels free to just openly criticize and rid dual his citizens. it makes no sense. >> before i leave, i want to put this up. chicago mayor responded to the president o

we will have more on it later, lori lightfoot and eddie johnson would need for and meet president todayt again, trump is doing important work on criminal justice reform and he is supporting the men and women in blue. if the democrats took a good game of bipartisanship don't give a rats you know what about it. they don't want to give him the visual at the even meeting to help pathetic for them. now, if i were he, i would spend more time in places like new york, new england, and on the west coast. i would show the people that the press is lying about him, that he is president of all the citizens of america and care about each and every one of them. lord knows california has suffered enough under super majority democrat leadership. people are flying high taxes, homeless issue and now millions going without power during the e fires. and that brings us back to the world series. i was lucky enough to attend game four with my son and i thought about what i would say to him if we had been at last night's game when trump and the booing happened. i think it would go something like this. you know

that is the superintendent of chicago police, eddie johnson. nt trump would have to say. i don't think so. that is very insulting statement and after all i've done for the police and i've done more than any other president has ever done for the police. [applause] over 100 years we can prove it but probably from the beginning here's the man's they cannot bother to show up for a meeting of police chiefs, most most respected people in the country in his hometown and with the president of the united states and you know why? because he's not doing his job. last year 555 people were murdered in chicago. since eddie johnson has been police chief more than 1,500 people have been murdered in chicago and 13,067 people have been shot. during the first weekend of august 2019, 7 people were murdered and 52 were wounded and 32 shootings in chicago. recently they had 78 shootings over eight weekend spree and three people killed. chicago has the toughest gun laws in the united states. that does not seem to be working too well, does it? a lot of you people know

but in each case the detainer was denied and eddie johnson wants to talk about values. on put criminals and illegal aliens before the citizens of chicago and those are his values and frankly, those values to me are a disgrace. i will never put the needs -- [applause] -- of illegal criminals before i put the needs of law-abiding citizens. it is very simple to me. [cheering and applause] so when eddie johnson and many other people from lots of other regions and areas support sanctuary cities, it is really in my opinion a betrayal of their oath to the shield and a violation of his duty to serve and to protect the courageous police officers of chicago. i know some of them and they are the most incredible people. they could solve this problem quickly. [applause] it is embarrassing to us as a nation. all over the world they're talking about chicago. afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. it's true. police officers of chicago are entitled to a police superintendent who has their backs and knows what he is doing. you are entitled to a police superintendent who sides with you

they have a history of grievances with superintendent eddie johnson.ut when he announced was not going to show and the president speaks to the national association of police in chicago, the board of directors took a no-confidence vote and passed it. >> we felt that that was outrageous, especially when we have derive so much benefit from federal government in the last few years. particularly lately when they have sent atf agents here to prosecute gun crimes through the federal court. >> jonathan said he could not in good conscience stand by in the face of racial insults and hatred, and while the city of chicago is harshly criticized for sanctuary city politics. >> i have issues with being attacked as a city. you know, some of the divisiveness that has come out of it. me as a police superintendent, i try not to be political about anything, but i just think right now for the sake of the city of chicago, it is best for me to sit this one out. >> fop president says that it has less to do with a recent suspicious and embarrassing incident for the superintend

listen what he said talking about the chicago police superintendent, eddie johnson, famously boycottedsident's speech today. the president had unkind words for him. listen. >> embarrassing to us as a nation. all over the world they're talking about chicago. afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. it's true. police officers of chicago are entitled to a police superintendent who has their backs and knows what he's doing. reporter: maybe a little hyperbole in terms of afghanistan but the president got a warm welcome from the chiefs of police, not so much from the folks on the street here. the mayor, by the way, tweeting a response to the president, a couple of, tweets. one essentially calling him a buffoon. another saying, our city and our police department will not be lectured on our duty to serve and protect by someone who puts children in cages. not a particularly friendly town for the president, that is the way it is in this country. everybody get as voice. connell: that is the way it is. you're right about that, jeff. good to see you. jeff flock in chicago. melissa. melissa: here

i want eddie johnson to change his values and change them fast. >> in a statement, superintendent johnsonlained in part why he did not attend the speech. "as police officers, our job is to be the voice for the voiceless, ambassadors for the communities we serve. i can't in good conscience stand by while racial insults and we understand superintendent johnson is expected to speak at 1:30 p.m. local today. as a result of the superintendent did not attending this beach day, the virtual order of police took a vote of no confidence egg and the top cop. the president they tweeted out a short while ago saying the president brought his buffoonery to town, and rather than belittle chicago's communities with hateful and dishonest rhetoric, he needs to go back to d.c. and face his feet. the president today also talked to mike touching on chicago be an international basement. >> harris: focusing on law-enforcement even more, a big night, sometimes emotionally gripping come on fox news last night. as i hosted town hall in america police emergency, with a live studio audience. with rank and file past a

who snubbed the president's appearance at the convention. >> since eddie johnson has been police chiefn 1,500 people have been murdered in chicago. and 13,067 people have been shot. chicago has the toughest gun laws in the united states. that doesn't seem to be working too well, does it? and a lot of you people know exactly what i mean. but under johnson's leadership, they certainly don't protect people. >> so at a news conference yesterday, johnson defended his city's police force saying in part today the same police officers the president criticized for their inability to protect the city spent all day protecting him. >>> still ahead, president trump defends his decision to keep democrats in the dark ahead of the al baghdadi rate and launches another attack against adam sif. >> and a no show for the impeachment testimony, coming up. up (contemplative synth music) - [narrator] forget about vacuuming for up to a month. shark iq robot deep-cleans and empties itself into a base you can empty once a month. and unlike standard robots that bounce around, it cleans row by row. if it's not a

he went after the chicago police superintendent eddie johnson for skipping his speech. here is what he said. >> two days ago johnson said, quote the values of the people of chicago are more important than anything president trump would have to say. i don't think so. because that is very insulting statement after all i've done for the police. i have done more than any other president has ever done for the police. connell: former chicago police department superintendent gary mccarthy with us now. sir, mr. johnson said he skipped the speech i should say, i believe because of disagreements with the president over immigration but your reaction? >> i never would have waded into those waters at superintendent. i would try to stay out of politics like that. you know, my first comment, if you go to comedy club you don't heckle the guy with the microphone because you get beat up as a result. but the bottom line is i was raised a little bit different. i always have an american flag on my suit. my father was part of the regiment that raised the flag on mount suribachi in iwo jima. i

he used the occasion to slam chicago's top cop, superintendent eddie johnson. >> all over the world they're talking about chicago. afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. this person should be here because maybe he could learn something. >> johnson decided to skip the speech, citing the president's immigration policies and what he sees as, quote, racial insults and hatred cast from the oval office. >>> the department of homeland security is on high alert for possible revenge attacks following the raid that killed abu bakr al baghdadi. the news comes as video and photos of that daring operation by u.s. special forces could soon be made public. david martin reports from the pentagon. >> reporter: the compound where al baghdadi met his end was first assaulted by the army's delta force and then reduced to rubble by american bombs. >> he was a sick and depraved man, and now he's dead. [ applause ] he's dead. he's dead as a doornail. >> reporter: president trump tweeted a picture of the dog that chased al baghdadi down a dead end tunnel where he killed himself and three children by detonating

and chicago chief eddie johnson. >>> you are entitled to a police superintendent who sides with you. with the people of chicago. the people want this. with the families of chicago. not the criminals and the gang members. that are here illegally. >>> the president set the crime chicago is embarrassing to us as a nation. saying afghanistan is a safe place by comparison. president trump also signed an executive order establishing a commission focused on the causes of crime as well as the recruitment training and retention of law enforcement.>>> on wall street this s&p closed at an all-time high for the first time since july. up 16 points to 3039. the nasdaq also near a record at 82 points today. the dow jones up 132. take healthcare and indication stocks were behind the gangs. >>> a live look from pg&e headquarters. the power coming back on for some. going off for others. we will sorted out. a live briefing is coming up. >>> random attack on the streets of san francisco. tonight the search for this man seen on video throwing a punch at a woman and child. >>> shouldn't they go to prison
