FOXNEWS FOX and Friends September 18, 2024

Steve good morning, world. 6 00 here on the east coast. Welcome to the Tuesday Edition of Fox Friends for this september 17th, lawrence. Ainsley welcome back. Spent a little bit of time with the fam. Lawrence just a little bit. Steve Breaking News overnight rapper Sean Diddy combs arrested in new york city. The federal agency behind the arrest and what could tell us about the indictment that is set to be unsealed this morning. Lawrence plus President Trump heading back out on the Campaign Trail after speaking out about the second Assassination Attempt on his life. Gunfire actually a secret Service Agent had seen the barrel of an ak47. They started shooting at the barrel. Thats the shots we heard. He never got another shot out. Brian once bragged about handouts and squatting. Judge ordered him to be deported. He might not be able to leave. Ainsley Fox Friends starts right now San Antonio steve here is that Fox News alert. Sean Diddy Combs is expected to be arraigned on charges this morning following a Grand Jury indictment. Brian right now the embattled R57 Model in custody after arrested last night in the lobby of a luxury manhattan hotel. Ainsley Todd Piro has the story. Todd the indictment against diddy will be unsealed this morning. Homeland security actually taking the lead on this case. The charges against the Elm Battle Rap mogul not yet revealed. His attorney though telling the New York Times he believes diddy is being charged with Racketeering And Sex trafficking. His lawyer giving a statement to Fox News digital we are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is unjust prosecution of mr. Colmes by the u. S. Attorneys office. He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal. To his credit, mr. Comes has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation he looks forward clearing his name in court. His homeness Los Angeles and miami were raided back in march in connection with to a central trafficking investigation. He also has all of which he has denied. Brian this is a long time coming. We have heard about this for the longest time. Case looks huge. Gotted Video Footage from his house, his mansions. The accusations flying and i guess he came to new york knowing this was going to happen. Ainsley lets bring in criminal Defense Attorney Lexy Leg Den to talk about this. Last november his ex, sued him for sexual assault, Sex Trafficking. Nenches day that was settled. A few others came in accusing him as well. Last may that video surfaced with his exgirlfriend cassie ventura. That was the video in front of the elevators. What will we learn when the Indictment Sun sealed today . Well northwestern a lot more when the indictment unsealed. What people want to know is exactly what he is being charged with this was meteoric fall from grace. Imper soreio. Became involved in the Hip Hop Community and became wealthy. He knew this was coming down the pike. First of all the lawsuit started getting hitting and houses raided. Selling off businesses and very expensive mansion in california is up for sale. He has clearly been preparing for this and did come to new york with the understanding that he was going to be arrested, which i cant even imagine how he must have felt about that sitting in that Hotel Room in new york. But today were going to be able to find out exactly what he is charged with, which i think will be racketeering just like his attorney said, racketeering, potentially violations of the Man Act transferring somebody across State Lines for illegal sexual activity. Those are reminiscent of what r. Kelly was charged and ultimately convicted with this is kind of similar to what happened in the past with him. Lawrence so ele lexie, witns suddenly go away. We had a three house raid. You had florida, you had new york, and you had california. So, does this mean that this time that the fed finally has cooperation from witnesses . I think it is different this time. First of all, i think that the civil cases, which were explosive with the allegations really brought to focus his behavior. One of those lawsuits by a former Mail Assistant has a lot of pinks and video referenced in the lawsuit. Not only do i think they have obviously witnesses who are cooperating. But they have Today Support these charges. That was detailed and disturbing and surprising lawsuit filed by his former male assistant. Ains. Steve ainsley was talking a moment ago about cassie, his longtime girlfriend. Sued him and settled the next day. Five more people came out of the woodwork and also sued them. They decided they were not going to settle. They were going to fight it in court. Then you come upon these home raids. It wasnt the local cops, it wasnt the fbi. It was Homeland Security investigations that a lot of people have never even heard of. But they are The Ones who investigate Sex Trafficking case, thats a unique unit. And thats why they essentially came out with bazookas. Right. These are federal crimes. Obviously the Man Act is a federal crime and then the Sex Trafficking. And there could also be potential for a lot of the those lawsuits referenced rampant Drug Use and weapons. One of cassies allegations is that he forced her to hold a gun in her purse there could also be potentially a narcotics and Firearm Aspect to this as well. Brian what about Homeland Security . Why are they leading this case . Homeland security is usually in charge federally of investigating human and Sex Trafficking cases. So thats just standard Operating Procedure for why they were there. But it just shows how seriously this has been taken after those lawsuits brought to light. And i think had they not been filed there, wouldnt have been the Media Attention and there wouldnt have been the substance for the feds to take a look under the hood and say gee, there is something seriously wrong with this guy. This isnt his first brush of the law he was acquitted in 1999 of a Nightclub Shooting which involved jlo which was a very sensational story. He is in a world of trouble. Brian he has a lot of money and lawyers. We will see what happens. Lexie, thanks so much. Ainsley diddy is a music icon. Loving family, adoring his children. Imperfect but he is not a criminal. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts innocent man with nothing to hide. Brian we will see. See if his sons were involved too. They were all over this thing, certainly in the video. Seven minutes after the top of the hour. Former President Trump speaking for the first time since being targeted by a would be assassin for the second time. Ainsley Madeleine Rivera is live in washington to a second time. Joined x spaces to talk about cryptocurrency. He began by talking about the second apparent Assassination Attempt on his life. All of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air. And i guess probably four or five. And if sounded like bullets but what do i know about that . But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets. And they grabbed me i would have lived to have sank that last putt. Lets decided lets get out of here. New Body Cam Footage shows when the Suspect Ryan Wesley Rauf was. He may have been waiting for nearly 12 12 shows of him golf. Tried to warn trump about it. He insisted he was safe and wanted to keep golfing. Adding secret Service Director Ron Rowe said he did not have a line of sight to trump on sunday. As former President Trump was moving through the fifth fairway across the course and Out Of Sight of the sixth green. The agent who was visually sweeping the area of the sixth Green Saw the subject armed with what he perceived to be a rifle and immediately discharged his firearm. The subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president fled the scene. Rauf is facing federal gun charges. Some who have crossed paths with him in the past have voiced concerns about his behavior. In a selfpublished Book Rauf supported trump in 2016. His views sor soured him so much urged triune kill him. Here is a neighbor describing routh. He was jumpy, reserved. Didnt speak out loud too much kept pace with me. No reason to be out at midnight. Trump is back on the Campaign Trail today. Hell have a rally in flint, Michigan Tonight where local police say they will be working with Secret Service to make sure he is fully protect president. Lawrence, steve, ainsley and brian. Steve madeleine, thank you so much. I got the name right today. Ainsley we have a lot of reporters. Steve do you know what is really interesting. We learned a lot in that briefing We Saw Yesterday at 4 00 on the Fox News channel where they didnt search the club ahead of time because he goes you know what . I want to go golfing. Because it was on the schedule they did that protective bubble where essentially they go out a couple of holes before and they search everything. They walk and The One secret Service Agent who squeezed off the shots at that guy right there, he spotted him. But heres the thing i was thinking about this morning. Imagine a guy in a pink tshirt is in the Tree Line with a gun on the other side of a chain link fence, that would be pretty easy to see. Had the guy actually been wearing Camo Or Something like that, the secret Service Guy may never have seen him. I dont think it was the gun He Saw. The gun barrel. I think He Saw the pink tshirt if that is the shirt he wore at the time. Lawrence reportedly He Saw the barrel. Obviously thats luck. We are talking about a small thing to see. Brian black. Steve thats why i think He Saw the shirt rather than the gun. Lawrence i dont understand why there wasnt a sweep before. If the President Of The United States, if he was the commanderinchief still, there would have been a sweep before. There would have been dogs to go there we are not just talking about what a sniper can do. We can talk about what explosives can be in the area as well. Ainsley from now on the street needs to be blocked off. President is playing golf and there is a street next to the Golf Course. That needs to be blocked off. Ainsley thats a lay up shot. Brian he would have said it. Steve pink shirt up against the greenery in the background. Ainsley whatever it is, the secret Service Agents who went ahead and were in the hole ahead of Donald Trump or two holes ahead of Donald Trump, they are The Ones that spotted it. Steve they got lucky. Brian i think thats true. I also think you could say they acted the way they should. They got ahead of the president. They looked ahead. They saw the barrel of the gun and they reacted and then they quickly fired at this guy. He did not return fireplace. He goes to flee. They did a great job getting the president out of there surrounded him immediately, they got more assets i got it. Ainsley sorry to interrupt you. Biden yesterday talked to Donald Trump and they were talking about Secret Service. And saying that he needs more help. Biden says you need more help. Brian right. I guess so. According to Mike Waltz they agreed he was getting president ial level. That was on thursday. This is The One thing that stood out to me as a civilian that never went through the academy is that if those holes get close to the street on five and six. Why wouldnt have you someone on the outside . Thats what they said yesterday. The Secret Service did not search the perimeter of the Golf Club and that is one of the things that left him vulnerable. Could they be searching going back and forth and one guy jumps in between . Maybe. If he is there for 12 hours ahead of time. Mentioned a pink shirt looking the guy looks shady. Right away this is what you use all your years of stopping crime to go im going to keep an eye on this guy. Whats he cooking here with a tshirt on staring at the Golf Club which would be nothing. The other thing to keep in mind, too. I thought yesterday the Press Conference im glad they like Each Other. But, just get to the point. I want to praise, i want to praise. We did everything right. Almost sounds defensive. Lawrence you dont get to praise yourself when you get this close twice. Okay . I can praise the law enforcement official, the secret Service Agent thats fired the shot. But this guy should have not been that close. So they are giving themselves pats on the back. It seems he dismissed some of the stuff saying he wasnt in the line of sight. Okay, but you had a secret Service Agent fire a weapon because he felt like the president s life was in danger. You cant have it both ways. Brian i heard 300 to 500 yards away. You are saying. Steve he was apparently the president was between 4 and 5 and the guy was down on 6. Down on summit. It was a long distance and there was a lot of greenery and terrain. Ainsley new information. Yesterday they were saying the guy was between 4 and 5. Trump was on the green On 5. But now they are changing is a that saying he was on the green On 5 but the shooter was ahead of them. Steve brian, one of the things they did say yesterday is that the former president got the same level of security he did when he was president. What was different and this is the Mea Culpa from the Secret Service. They said it was offtherecord thing. We werent age to go in and expect the place ahead of time so we did that protective bubble. Ainsley Hold On is that true the Guy Playing Golf was on with sean last night. He said he was asked to play golf in the morning. He was asked and Steve Wyckoff was asked in the morning, would that be enough time to do a sweep . Brian you would think. 1 30 in the afternoon when the shots came off. Lawrence im not buying its president ial level. If thats the case, the current president is not safe either. And the Vice President is not safe as well. Steve they said they gave trump the same Package E drones, sharp Shooters Stuff like that that the president gets. The only exception is. Lawrence airspace . Steve not airspace because they had the drones. Its the fact that he didnt have certain military aspects. Certain Military Assets which they are not going to tell us what those are but apparently they only go to the president. Brian heres what trump said on Fox News digital. He said the suspected gunman believed the rhetoric of Biden And Harris and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at when im The One that is going to save the country. And theyre The Ones industrying the country both from the inside and out. Brian Hillary Clinton obviously not understanding the moment continues to show her bitterness for losing in 2016. Americans need to understand that they have to take trump both seriously and literally. He has said what he wants to do. He and his allies with project 2025. His desire to be a dictator at least on Day One. All of that is in the public record. And i believe that more americans have to be, you know, willing to endure what frankly is discomforting and to some Extent Kind of painful. To take him at his word. And to be outraged by what he represents. Were not going back to the, you know, romance with dictators that puts innocent lives at risk and Miracles Security in danger. We cant go back. And give this very dangerous man to do harm to our country and the world. He. Brian never been held accountable for launching the russia investigation. She launched that thing that distracted the country two and a half years lost billions of dollars. The 20225 is to nothing to do with the president. Sean hannity was saying on Day One im going to seal seal the border and build the wall. Number three, when you also talk about what he was saying about the the former President Of The United States who was going to the whole charlottesville situation. So in charlottesville comes up they said the whole thing has been debunked roll through five or six things totally erroneous. You dont like the tariffs. You dont like the enforcement of the wall deportation. Legit mass things is he going to do. Why just make up stuff. Lawrence there is also this im sorry, ainsley bullets only flying one declaration. Assassination attempt, im not saying that the current President And Kamala harris have not had attacks on their Life Hate Mail come to them. Secret service investigate it. The first incident within 100 yards. The second in 300 yards. Only happening in one direction. So maybe maybe people inspiring crazy lunatics should tone it down just a little bit. Probably is less than 50 days away from an elections. Not going to tone it down because they arage state at a timed. Both sides agree they need more money they Secret Service. Brian i dont think both sides agree. I heard it walked back last night they dont need any more money. Steve thats what i was going to get. To say right now it sounds like they need north of 3 Billion for fiscal 2024 and there is a short fall federal government shut down 14 days. Half the side in washington says they need more money. Other half says they need new leadership. Maybe its both. Ainsley not a good excuse. People running for president. We have a Vice President. We have a president. We have Donald Trump who used to be president who is running. All three of them need maximum security they cant say its money. Take the money from somewhere else. There is so much pork in washington. Find the money to protect the president.
