They called her unconstitutional action. The aclu even weighed in against the democrat and, today, a federal judge agreed. National correspondent William La Jeunesse has the latest tonight from los angeles. Good evening, william. Well, bret, for now that order prohibiting lawabiding citizens from carrying guns is on hold with the judge, a biden appointee, ruling the governors act likely violates the constitution. So legally and politically, Lujan Grishams order backfired as she attempted to find a way around recent Supreme Court rulings regarding the Second Amendment by declaring Gun Ownership Part of a Public Health emergency. Minutes ago federal judge david you race said the governors order violates the rights of citizens to protect themselves saying, quote, individuals have a right to carry a handgun for selfdefense outside the home supports the contention that plaintiffs have met this factor for justifying a Restraining Order at this stage of the litigation. Grisham had claimed that gun violence was so bad Gun Ban Permit or not 30 days despite new mexico being one of 38 states that allow open carry. Local d. A. , police and sheriff all refused to enforce it. And even her own Attorney General refused to defend her actions in court, all saying the governors restrictions violated both federal and the state constitution. Six gun Rights Groups challenged her order. As you can see at this rally yesterday, protesters openly defied the governor. She just cant suspend the parts of the constitution that she doesnt like and say it doesnt apply. So today police have not fined, cited or arrested anyone violating the governors order last friday even she admitted her action may be illegal and widely ignored. There will be a legal challenge and i cant tell you that we win it. You really think that criminals are going to hear this message and not carry a gun In Albuquerque on the streets for 30 days . No. So the injunction is effective immediately, bret, and remains in effect at least until october 3rd, which is the next court date. Back to you. Bret william, thank you. Now to here in washington, the latest on the biden Impeachment Inquiry it is one of several potential landmines for embattled House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy to navigate in coming weeks. Here to explain all of that senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram is on capitol hill tonight. Even moderate g. O. P. Members are embracing mccarthys Impeachment Inquiry for President Biden. I think we should have impeached his as a long time ago. Mccarthy faces a triangle. Mccarthy tries to avoid a government shut down and could face a voice notify confidence. Mccarthy ignoring questions about government funding. Are you going to be able to pass the cr, sir . Is the government going to shut down . But happy to talk impeachment. An Impeachment Inquiry is simply empowering the house to a greater level to get the documents they need to answer questions. Yet, mccarthys Impeachment Maneuver is failing to satisfy conservatives who demand finality. If it takes too long to get impeachment im forcing a vote on impeachment. Some accuse mccarthy of pivoting to. We can because of struggles slash spending and avert a shutdown. He likes talking impeachment because it is a way to divert from the very the very failure to align to the commitment that was made in january. To avoid a shutdown, mccarthy wants to renew all old funding temporarily. If that happens many conservatives could abandon mccarthy and call for a new speaker; however, some democrats say they might actually bail out mccarthy. We would rather the speaker we know than the speaker we dont know. Top democrats say mccarthy is on his own. They are going to have to work out their own internal poisonous, partisan political dynamics. The g. O. P. Cant even approve its own defense spending bill, a Senior Leadership source says the house is running out of time to fund the government by october 1st. Bret . Bret chad, a Big Closed Door Forum On Ai today in the senate. What about that . Well, Senate Majority leader schumer invited nearly two Dozen Tech Titans to brief lawmakers about regulating ai. Those attending Sam Ultman Of Chatgpt and elon musk. He talked about the Threat Ai Poses to humans. Just as you have a referee at a sports game, it is important for similar reasons to have a regulator which you can think of as a referee to ensure that Companies Take actions that are safe and in the interest of the general public. It was the Biggest Assembly of a. I. Experts in history. Bret . Bret okay, chad. Thank you. There is new concerning data about inflation tonight. The Labor Department says the Consumer Price index rose to 3. 7 in august. Thats up a half point from july. This comes as the president tries to deal with criticism over a Prisoner Exchange deal with iran thats returning 6 billion in assets to the state sponsor of terrorism. Jacqui heinrich has details on that tonight live from the north lawn. Good evening, bret. Officials here insist policy has not changed and the u. S. Does not negotiate with terrorists. They also argue that this is not a Ransom Payment because these are not u. S. Taxpayer dollars. But, even some democrats are raising concerns about this deal like senator bob menendez who worries that it will only incentivize iran to take more americans hostage. The Biden Administration rejecting criticism it effectively paid iran a 6 billion ransom for the release of five detained americans with a somewhat selfdefeating argument. They arent going to be released for nothing in exchange. Didnt fail to get five iranians . They will get five iranians as well, yeah, jacqui. Then why do we need to add 6 billion on top of that . This is the deal that we were able to strike. Though u. S. Officials insist iran can only access the money for approved humanitarian transactions, critics say it freeze up other funds for iran to finance terrorism. The exiled son of irans last shaw calling history the best guide. We saw what happened to the money that was released that the Iranian Regime under the Obama Administration. It went to further finance the regimes proxies in syria and lebanon. Meantime [shouting questions] pressure from the left after a prominent liberal columnist writes President Biden should not run again in 2024. Citing Voter Concerns about age and the v. P. s unpopularity. That combination seems, to me, to be potentially dangerous for the democrats in depending off what would be a disaster. A revenge presidency by donald trump. Bidenomics, the foundation of the president s campaign, also taking a hit. Consumer prices rising for a ii straight month. 3. 7 year over year in august, largely because of higher gas prices. Hotter pace than july spiking fears about more Interest Rate hikes from the Federal Reserve. The white house insists things are going well. Inflation is easing. Continuing to ease. Asked about high gas prices driving inflation, economic adviser Jared Bernstein defended the administrations move to restrict drilling in alaska, saying that there are thousands of available permits and that democrats and the president are keeping energy costs down by investing in clean options. Bret . Bret Jacqui Heinrich live on the north lawn. Thank you. Stocks are mixed today after todays Inflation Report. The dow lost 70. The s p 500 gained six. The nasdaq was up 40. One of the first things i do every morning is click on the aaa gas price. So we track it very closely. There is some Pressure Relief coming in september. The other efforts that were taking to reduce prices in other areas that matter so much to consumers. The price of eggs, the price of dairy, the price of meat. All those prices just came down not just inflation but deflation. Bret lets bring in brit hume and Charles Payne of fox business. Good evening, gentlemen. Charles, first to you, what do you make of this Inflation Report and what it means for our economy. It was an interesting Inflation Report because, to your point, the Headline Number was in higher than expected, up two months in a row and i heard one of the soundbites someone mentioned energy prices, core inflation, which takes out energy and food, was actually up month over month. So there are inflationary issues. And it also points to, bret, the Recession Call thats been pushed off. You know, ironically, some of the things that were down year over year, major appliances 8 . Washing machines, rather, 13 . Tvs, 10 . Computers 6 . Used cars. While we want things to come down. When they start coming down precipitously like that, it gives you a sign. So its an interesting dynamic. We will see what the Federal Reserve does here. Remember, there is still money being pumped into the system thats artificially keeping prices higher. Keeping the inflation issue an issue right now. And, again, recession is right around the corner somewhere. And so this reportit had a little bit of both. By the way, this whole thing with gasoline and that somehow the white house is doing anything positive about it. Our Inventory Levels are dangerously low. The Strategic Petroleum reserve, i cannot believe this. I dont even understand the notion thats tapping into that once again and overall crude inventories are low. Its unmitigated disaster. People watching at home are going to have to get used to 4 plus and its going to get uglier. Brit speaking of inflation, brit, brian tweeted this im legitimately baffled by fellow economists who seem to think a few months of lower inflation negate the 17 price hike since 2021 that continues to outstrip wage growth. Until wages fully catch up, the higher privacy also remain a family burden. Brit well, exactly. You know, lower inflation means there is still inflation. And when prices have been up as much as they have been over the past year or more, having them go up more slowly is better, i suppose, than having them go up faster, but they are still going up and people are feeling it which leads me to think that this notion of bidenomics which went on so many weeks recently may have turned out to be a political mistake. It gets people to thinking that this man, this man biden thinks this is working and we are suffering in this way and the prices are continuing still to go up . So i think that may have turned out to be a political blunder to talk about it in the way they did and seemingly to be barack brag bragging about a situation americans find not to their liking. Bret just for context you had David Ignatius post. For him to say for him not to run for president in the the Washington Post. Just to put in perspective for people who live in washington how big a deal that is. Thats a very big deal. David ignatius is one of the princes of the washington establishment. A longtime columnist of the the Washington Post. Before that he spent years at the Wall Street Journal. His father was a senior official at the Washington Post years ago. He is a Card Carrying Member of that establishment and for him to come out and say this now, i think, is telling. And the people at the Biden Administration have to worry if this starts to cash on with ler leading liberal journalists, it could become a stampede may be hard for them to head off. Bret last thing, charles. That is when the administration talks about Green Sprouts in the economy, and there is this disconnect to brits point with what we see in polls from people saying how they feel about the economy, what should people think about where its going . Charles yesterday the Census Bureau put out the final numbers for 2022 on poverty. The sharonest oneyear increase in the history of america and poverty. Childhood poverty went up more than 100 percent in one single year. Real wages are down three years in a row. What President Biden says it hurtful. Brit is right in the sense that people know that news that came out from the Census Bureau, thats the news that everyone watching this show lives. Every time President Biden opens his mouth and tries to suggest its anything other, he is insulting these very people who are already in economic pain. Bret charles, brit, we appreciate it. Thank you. North Korean Leader kim jong un promises to fully support russia in its conflict with the west. Thats his words. Thats next.

Senior Foreign Affairs correspondent greg palkot has details. A potentially dangerous love fest in russia. President Vladimir Putin greeting north Korean Leader kim jong un. After a long trip via armored train from pyongyang they met at a Rocket Launch Site in siberia. According to u. S. Officials they both are looking for something. Russia needs munitions for war in ukraine. North korea has stockpiles of soviet area. North korea needs high tech gear to advance Missile Program on display at the russian facility.
