jillian: chicago residents reeling this morning after one of the bloodiest weekends in the city's history. >> 63 people shot from friday until sunday in chicago, ten of people now dead. the police department determine today keep fighting. >> what i promise you is we won't be defeated. i promise the city that we won't be defeated, we won't be overrun by the small group, small element that's committing reckless acts, we will not, i promise you that we will not be defeated. jillian: new behavioral therapy is trying to change the mind set of the city's youth and showing promising results, gianno calledwell is chicago native and fox news political analyst and joins us now, giannoi know that every time we talk about this you're emotional about this and
2:15 am
i know that it really gets to your heart, you were born and raised there. you see a weekend like this, you see these numbers, what on earth are you thinking this morning? >> you know what i just heard the police officers say this is a small element, i'm sorry, sir, this is a a national crisis, ths is a genocide what we are seeing every day basically in the city of chicago, rahm emmanuel has been mayor since 2011, since 2011 he's been nothing more than a failure. i mean, at this particular point what we have seen from rahm emmanuel is the deaths, higher taxes and sanctuary for everyone but the african americans that are bleeding in the streets of chicago. this is problematic on every level and when i hear the words from that leader it says that he doesn't understand the real crisis that as a group where people fear leaving houses on a daily basis. rob: what needs to change? what does the mayor need to do or the next mayor need to do to fix the problem? >> the mayor has obviously shown that he can't do anything, his
2:16 am
inaction is not showing that one that cares to me in my opinion. here is the thing, last week during the protest that i believe was fox news exclusive where we had state representative who is a senior democrat in state of illinois, he's willing to work with the president of the united states, president trump has offered on many occasions to help the city of chicago and one of the things that we continue to hear is democrats don't want president trump in chicago, so he can't do anything about it. well, we have seen the change, we have to change, this is the one that i've known for many years, one who actually cares about community and one who lives in a community, right sides over community that's impacted about the violence in higher proportions and a lot of chicago seats, yeah, we talk about solutions, we have a leader that's willing to work with the president of the united states, that's a solution, that's where we can get community leaders together who are willing to -- to talk about some solutions that we can -- that brings about actual changes
2:17 am
to stop carnage. jillian: gianno also something that can be done that residents of chicago aren't waiting for change top down where you can help influence younger generations and change mind sets and understand that this is not okay in. >> yeah, of course there is, one of the things is we have to stop the culture of silence whereas you know that there's gang activity going on, whereas you know who the shooter was and you refuse to say anything. that's something that needs to happen because at this point and especially when i grew up in the city of chicago the violence impacted those that were actually involved in life, you in a gang or hung out with gang members, you could possibly be a target, however n this situation now you can be an infant and be a target and that's problematic on every level, that's why i say this is a national crisis and those who don't recognize it as that -- rob: one of them that
2:18 am
promises an 84% success rate at this point trying to change mentality of these mostly young men that are involved in these crimes and try to fix what's going on in their minds, is this the way to fix it or the city need stricter penalties for anybody caught with a gun, do they need more harsh penalties for crimes? >> there's necessity for harsher penalties. we need greater gun control which chicago has the most comprehensive gun control laws in the book. having programs in place that would prevent behavior not to fall in the trap, those are important but it's not just a one-item solution, it's going to be a multiprong solution in order to prevent this from moving forward. so to jillian's, point, what can we do now, we have to stop the culture of silence and definitely tougher penalties are necessities but certainly this is a community effort because this is a national crisis.
2:19 am
jillian: gianno, if you could fix it yourself, we know you would, we know how passionate you are. >> absolutely. jillian: trump administration promised to crack down on people using food stamps and it's working, the brand-new numbers just in. rob: he went to the city of brotherly love to support local law enforcement, but the trump support -- trump supporter left with four slashed tires, look at that, why he says it's no coincidence, stay tuned (vo) when bandits stole the lockbox from the wells fargo stagecoach, agent beekman was one step ahead of them. because he hid his customers' gold in a different box. and the bandits, well, they got rocks. we protected your money then and we're dedicated to helping

2:23 am
of the deadly wild fires, the president tweeted california wild fires are being mag my fied and made so much worse by the bad environmental laws which aren't allowing massive amounts of readily available water to be properly utilized, being diverted into the pacific ocean. must also extra clear to stop fire spreading, the president approved disaster declaring for carr fire has killed 7 people, parts of yosemite close as dozen fires in california. jillian: nearly $5 million, highway spokesperson says they are waiting for replacement parts and the only problem is manufacturer doesn't make them anymore, the state doesn't know when or will it will be up an running, a lot of money.
2:24 am
rob: millions of americans no longer dependent on food stamps. tracee carrasco with the numbers. tracee: 2.8 million people have dropped off of food stamps, this is, of course, part of continuing downward trend that we are seeing but also as the trump administration attempted to reform the program both at federal and state levels, we can point to improving economy as of reason why we are seeing these numbers go down. rob: okay. here is the question is nutela better than chocolate? tracee: well, the ferrero company -- jillian: i really had to think about it. tracee: ferrero company, they are looking for taste testers, paid-taste testers, this is the
2:25 am
first time that they are ever opening this job up to nonprofessionals but you're going to have to pack your suitcase if you're interested in this job because you'll have to move to the company's headquarters in italy, doesn't sound like a bad deal there. but this is part time position, as i mentioned they want average consumers, not looking for professional taste testers, sign me up. rob: you have to pay people for that? tracee: that's a great job. rob: get paid to do it. thank you so much. jillian: i don't know if you can compare nutella with chocolate. rob: 35 minutes after the hour, new york times op-ed sounding the alarm object kids attending trump rallies calling it heartbreaking that they are exposed to anger, so does that really send the right message? rnc person and democratic strategists chuck rocha here to debate that next.

2:30 am
this entire thing could have been prevented had we had tougher immigration laws. jillian: colorado springs officer remains in critical condition. investigators are looking into islamic extremism after 11 children were rescued from a filthy compound in new mexico, kids between ages of 1 and 15 were removed after an armed standoff with one of the men who stayed there, 39-year-old behind bars was originally wanted for kidnapping 3-year-old son from georgia, the child has not been found. another man has also been arrested, conditions at the remote property compare today third-world country. sheriffs said the fbi believes the men had extreme islamic beliefs. president trump's legal team edging closer to decision on whether or not the president will sit down with special counsel robert mueller, this as his attorney fires back after a mix-up regarding donald trump jr.'s meeting with several russians at trump tower who
2:31 am
claim to have dirt on hillary clinton, jay had denied the president and role in drafting response to 2016 meeting, he now says he made a mistake after president trump tweeted about it yesterday. >> i had bad information at that time and made a mistake in my statement, i talked about that before, that happens when you have cases like this. i think it's very important to point out that in a situation like this you have over time facts develop, that's what investigations do. jillian: as for mueller meeting, trump lawyer gil annie says a decision will be made by this sunday. national security adviser john bolton cautiously optimistic that north korea will denuclearized but he's now acknowledging that kim jong un could go back on his words. >> there's nobody in this administration starry eyed about the prospects of north korea denuclearizing but i think what's going on now is is that the president is giving kim jong un a master class in how to hold
2:32 am
the door open for somebody. jillian: recent evidence suggests north korea has not stopped making nuclear weapons, despite an agreement between president trump and kim jong un during their singapore summit, rob. rob: all right, kids attending the president's rallies makes "the new york times" photographer respond in op-ed, long journey covering the campaign and i remember being exhausted by the anger i experienced in those final weeks i remember being heartbroken that children were exposed to this anger, we are learning from it and participating in it. but kids that are going to the rallies are telling a different story. >> donald trump, i have been supporting him since 2016, our election and i came to support and came out here. building the wall will stop illegal immigration. >> i want to see that he is best
2:33 am
president of america. rob: here to weigh in our panel, rnc spokesperson kayleigh and chuck rocha. kayleigh i want to start with you, a bit dramatic the concerns that he had? >> yeah, "the new york times" exposes elitism and this is what the article was, leftist elite decrying trump rallies and he says in the piece that he has to take photographs to remind himself of the humanity of trump voters, he then talks about the press being to cages, that's so false. the press is always at rallies, not in cages, if he was so concerned about that why is he not concerned where hillary clinton roped them off and there's video of it. complete elitism and it was a ridiculous op-ed.
2:34 am
rob: what did you make of the article? >> politics is emotional sport. kayleigh has big words that i don't understand and what i understand that there's emotion in politics, if you want to take kids to rally you have the right to do it. is it the right thing to do at this particular time with this campaign that's up to you as a parent. let me tell you i live with twin grand babies. so what i do is i take my phone when somebody calls me about politics and i step outside because the things i know i'm going to say i don't want them twin babies hearing because i know they will repeat it. rob: kelly, he makes a good point it's not really great time for kids to be introduced to politics, the political situation in the country is terrible right now, maybe don't take them to trump rally, maybe don't let them watch some of the things that they see on tv and some of the things that you read there's a lot of craziness on both sides of the aisle, the world is on fire every day if you watch some news stations. >> well, look, i wouldn't take them to a maxine waters rally
2:35 am
where there's encouragement of violent protests against trump officials or how i perceived her statement. the kids that you played at the beginning of the segment, i thought it was interested to hear a young person articulate pretty good arguments against illegal immigration, a lot of the kids walk away having learned something, having been engaged. i have been to trump rallies as president trump says, there's a lot of love in the room. i don't agree with his characterization at all. i think it's a good time for kids to learn and be engaged because of this president. rob: chuck, on your side, a lot of people say that the president promotes divisiveness and in some cases violence but can't you also argue exact same thing to democrats and the far left and some of the media have made it to the point where you can't wear a make america great hat without being assaulted? i mean, that is crazy. >> again, i am the one who is doing that. i will tell you that i'm an emotional being and i said things i regret saying, i have been in the rally at the heat of
2:36 am
the moment and said things at the microphone, it's up to you as a parent whether you want to drag your baby to that or not. that's what's wrong with politics overall, all of the hatred among each other. people want to make the country, everything that it can be and we can do it without talking down to each other. rob: kayleihg, the op-ed writer doesn't want kids going, kids these days are exposed to liberal ideas, where are you suppose today get the other side if you're a kid? >> that's exactly write, editor, photographer liberal know flake, any republican ideas to him is vitriolic, you're exactly right. the schools are with leftist ideology, there's no doubt about that, academia, the media and in most cases, conservatism shouldn't be characterized as
2:37 am
vitriol but nevertheless the new york times sees it. >> i grew up in east texas and there's no liberalness around my school in east texas, tyler, texas, they won't let you watch msnbc, i wouldn't say liberalism everywhere you go. rob: that's a fair statement, that's a fair statement. guys, thank you so much for coming up this morning, maybe let the kids watch cartoon. >> i like the cartoons.

2:43 am
the company saying they made a mistake but candace said she was trying to prove a point about racial double standard, take a look. >> you should not be able to tweet about any race or any group that you want them canceled that they could live under ground and that you enjoy harassing them. that's the point in all of this, you know, we should not be allowed to be racist towards any group. obviously understood that -- carley: so like i said, the -- twitter apologizing they made an error, sparking a lot of reaction online, twitter sure does make a lot of mistakes when it comes to accounts held by conservatives and lori on twitter also saying, glad twitter saw the error of its ways, john by the way says that her antiwhite tweets were intended to be satire. jillian: 2020 rumors continue.

2:52 am
