Hi there, everyone. It's now 5 o'clock in New York.

The announcement this morning by Donald Trump that law enforcement in Utah had apprehended the suspected shooter in Charlie Kirk's murder was the biggest headline he made this morning on the Fox and Friends

couch, but it was not the only headline he made. The president also announced that he will be

sending National Guard troops to another American city as part of his administration's unprecedented

crackdown on Democratic-led cities. This time, it is a city in a red state. It is the city of Memphis, Tennessee. Here is what he said about that this morning. We're going to Memphis. Memphis is...

Young also said that as mayor, he does not have the authority to stop troops from being deployed.

Republican governor, Bill Lee, seemed to indicate support for Donald Trump's plan, saying

this, quote, I have been in constant communication with the Trump administration to develop a

multi-phased

strategic plan to combat crime in Memphis, leveraging the full extent of both federal and
