7:02 am
8:00 p.m. friday in a neighborhood called chicago. a dodge charger opened fire. is areas like river north where gun violence is becoming more college. three killed in chicago. 27 injured. compare that to last year the same number shot, eight of them died last year. in baltimore bloodshed pilled up from a single mass shooting. a block party in the brooklyn neighborhood. witnesses said the gunfire erupted and wouldn't stop. two people died. 28 wounded. ten people were found dead or wounded on the scene. the rest self-report evidence to local hospitals. the shooters are on the run. in the area around washington, d.c. prince georges county sunday afternoon police say a man hijacked one car, fled to a second location to hijack another car. the driver of that second car, a woman, attempted to flee. the suspect opened fire killing her. also three dogs in the back of the car, police say the suspect
7:03 am
shot and killed two of the dogs. he fled the scene. attempted to steal a third car. >> i've done this job for a long time and extremely rare to come across an individual who has such a disregard for life. >> even in new orleans there was increased police presence for the holiday weekend. essence festival. in the french quarter another man was shot. >> julie: thank you very much. for more on this let's bring in paul mauro retired nypd inspector and attorney. let's talk about the problem that we're facing in this country. how many times have we talked about the fact that crime is up? how many times have we talked about how there are no solutions? what's the solution? what are people doing wrong, democratic leaders in different cities who can't get a handle on it? >> doesn't this seem like we do this story every monday? summer just started. it begs the question by what
7:04 am
metric are these progressive policies in our democrat cities supposed to be working? who is it they're supposed to be benefiting? a prime example of progressivism is killing the host. they're hurting the very people they are supposed to help. let's be frank. people of color. who is getting shot? mostly young black men. that's a fact. nobody wants to recognize that because it is politically incorrect. that's who is suffering and we're seeing it in our major cities. take chicago. illinois passed something called the safety act designed to mimic everything done in new york. which wasn't working in new york, either. they put it in there. as a result, you have the law was so badly written they don't know what it means. it is in court now. they can't figure out if there is a danger standard. it has to be fixed legislatively. they put the reforms in that way and they're locked in place. >> julie: bail reform is a
7:05 am
disaster. the repeat rate is so high. look at every single city across the board, criminals break the law, right back out and they reoffend. that is the fact. then you have the police whose hands are tied behind their backs. a lot of these democratic mayors and governors don't want to give them too much control. whose responsibility is it? civilians. a case in new york city where a civilian took matters into his own hands and he is charged with murder? you are damned if you do or hope. >> in san francisco they got rid of their d.a. baltimore, they have a soros prosecutor as well. when they did the polling in the black community, number one issue fix the crime problem. when the time came, she got voted out and put in a new prosecutor. the only person who said something substantive was the new prosecutor. the mayor and police
7:06 am
commissioner came out and gave fluff. we'll deploy the peace mobile in response to this. nobody wants to hear about a peace mobile. they want to hear about people getting locked up for running guns. >> julie: what's the solution? the mass shootings will happen more and more like you said. we're in summer and when crime goes up. people have too much time on their hands. what do we do about the shootings? >> according to the pew research center 3% of murders, gun murders in this country are from assault weapons. all we ever hear from washington is assault weapons. that's the defall position. the dirty secret. the vast majority of murders by guns are handguns and that means in our inner cities. we have to go back -- i'm sorry to say we have to go back to incarceration. nobody is saying that reform isn't possible and desirable, okay? the problem is you need both carrot and stick. we have left too much of the carrot out there and removed the
7:07 am
stick and it can't work. >> julie: i have to switch gears. chatgpt. your accounts and conversations could be for sale on the dark web. you are an expert. >> in a simple way the chatgpt is user friendly a.i. super google. it's an app on your phone and it gives you answers. it retains your conversations indefinitely. even if you put in there into the settings that you don't want it to do that, it will hold them for 30 days. why does it matter? a lot of people use chatgpt in relation to not only their most intimate details but also at work. companies are using a.i. now to get that extra edge. a lot of that stuff is very sensitive. you can use chatgpt for instance to summarize the minutes from your corporate meeting. sometimes a sensitive meeting. you can use it let's say too build code. let's say you have a trading platform and want to use code to
7:08 am
do predictive trading. you can build it out. if somebody gets ahold of that proprietary information they know exactly what you're doing? if you use chatgpt, which is very powerful. set your settings to clear history and sometimes manually do it. be careful. your whole life is in there. >> julie: it's like you don't want a cell phone these days. happy fourth. have a good one. rich. >> rich: a park shuts down a rollercoaster due to safety concerns in the middle of the holiday weekend thanks to a visitor who spotted something very scary. >> julie: president biden standing by the first son as more accusations surface in the hunter biden investigation. >> everything the whistleblower and house republicans are saying absolutely adds up and everything you hear from the department of justice and f.b.i. doesn't.

>> rich: six straight nights of riots over the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy last week outside paris. unrest spreading from the french capital to other towns and cities across the country. a major challenge for the french president macron who held a special meeting with his security team last night. tens of thousands of police are deployed. it didn't stop rioters from ramming a burning car into the home of the mayor of one paris suburb. he calls it an assassination attempt. authorities say they refuse to give in. >> what's happening is ultra violence by small groups
7:15 am
of people that are very well organized and very well trained. they want to defy the republic. the republic will not yield and we will fight back. >> rich: trey yengst is live in a suburb on the outskirts of paris. >> more than 150 people were arrested overnight across france as a sixth night of riots took place. some of the heaviest clashes taking place in the city where police used armored personnel carriers. tear gas was fired as officers made arrests. french officials say 297 vehicles and 34 buildings were damaged late sunday and early monday as police forces deployed. outside the french capital they are stabilizing the situation and restoring calm to the suburbs of paris.
7:16 am
a firefighter died while putting out a fire in an underground parking garage last night. authorities are investigating into the fire was linked to the unrest. continued violence comes as the grandmother of the arab teen is calling for calm. the 17-year-old's death is the main reason the riots started. residents say they've continued due to systemic levels. and others are upset with the damage to their communities. >> i'm not very happy about everything we've been through. all it takes is one night of trouble and they've lost everything. it is not their fault. everything that happened. >> french president macron says social media is playing a key role in bringing people to the streets to riot. french's interior minister has been in touch with social media sites like twitter and instagram to encourage those sites to end and get rid of any content that incites violence.
7:17 am
back to you. >> rich: tray yengst live in the suburbs of paris, thank you. >> julie: president biden standing by his son, hunter. they were in camp david this weekend. white house aids are being told to ignore the existence of hunter's estranged 4-year-old daughter and say the president only has six grandkids. >> good morning to you. first son hunter biden has spoken openly about his addictions to drugs and alcohol. the scandals will continue to plague the white house. questions about one of the president's grandchildren may also have an impact on the president's re-election campaign. we heard from "the new york times" over the weekend that did a deep dive on hunter biden's 4-year-old daughter in arkansas. last month hunter reached a child support agreement with the girl's mother which means he will turn over some of his handmade paintings or the profits from those paintings to help cover her expenses.
7:18 am
the times writes, the trial planned for mid july has been averted. the political toxicity regarding this case will remain. we don't know if president biden will address his granddaughter in arkansas. they haven't tried to hide hunter from the cameras and spotted at a white house state dinner and the president has faced questions about his past. >> president biden: i'm very proud of my son. >> republicans up on capitol hill remain furious over a plea agreement which means hunter will not go to jail for tax fraud. there is a hearing later this month that will formalize the agreement. two whistleblowers came forward claiming the investigation into the first son was not handled property. the u.s. attorney in delaware said he will address the whistleblowers complaints. this is still an ongoing matter.
7:19 am
there is a lot of questions still for attorney general merrick garland before the house judiciary committee in september and julie there is still talk about possibly impeaching garland not only over this but how other actions at the justice department have been carried out. >> julie: thank you very much. rich. >> rich: former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe criticizing the deal hunter biden got for not going to jail for gun and tax charges. >> everyone knows what the whistleblowers are saying is absolutely accurate in terms of how this is supposed to proceed and yet we end up with this circumstance where the president's son has ended up with a deal that perhaps nobody else in the history of the department of justice has received when it comes to the type of conduct associated with tax crimes and gun crimes. >> rich: chris bedford the executive editor of the common sense society.
7:20 am
thank you for joining us this morning. want to get into this. "wall street journal" editorial board say republicans asked david weiss to answer questions about his hunter biden investigation and the list of queries is growing. did the prosecutor bother to go beyond hunter's tax issues to look into wider allegations of corruption. the recent testimony from two i.r.s. whistleblowers suggest the answer is no. chris, where do we go from here? >> i think the scandal that's uncovered is the scandal within the administration, department of justice and the u.s. attorneys that may be blocking the delaware attorney from going after hunter biden, blocking charges there. it seems like there is almost open obstruction of this on every level. we know this not because of anyone admitting it but because of a couple whistleblowers who have been punished coming forth from the i.r.s. and d.o.j. to
7:21 am
congress saying it is all happening. all the doors are being shut down. administration is actively working to protect hunter. that's something that a father trying to protect his son makes sense. when the person is the president of the united states and control the department of justice it takes on an air of corruption. >> rich: the d.o.j. says the charging and deal decisions was based in a broader context than the couple whistleblowers. they interviewed dozens of people who worked on this particular case and they say and maintain the delaware attorney general appointed by the last president had the full charging authority here. does this just turn into a gigantic he said/he said and it never gets involved or will we get to the bottom of this? >> you have get to very little of the bottom of things against people who are in power in d.c. the biden family the in power. we need to have them pulled
7:22 am
before congress. the whistleblowers said the attorney general was stopped being able to bring charges in california, blocked in washington, d.c. and there has been a non-denial denial coming out of delaware on that matter. in order to get to the bottom of that congress needs to speak to them. i wouldn't hold my breath there will be people held accountable for this. >> rich: do you think hunter biden is open to more legal action? is this case fully settled? an official at the department of justice said if there was more information that they would consider continuing their investigation. or is this thing all but closed in this matter according to the department of justice? >> plea deal can be ripped up any time. we have what the i.r.s. whistleblowers pointed out blocked. we say we won't go after this
7:23 am
evidence because it's in the current sitting president's home. we won't push on this door or open that closet. we don't want to upset power. i doubt that will change. they could tear up a plea deal at any time. i have think this is something they'll shove through. >> rich: we've heard from mark meredith our reporter at the white house, the president's son has settled his case with the woman who had his child. do you think this at all is -- plays into the white house approach politically here that the president of the united states is essentially according to the "new york times" not acknowledging one of his biological grandchildren? >> it is heartbreaking and something i think a lot of american families dealt with. children -- to see such a cold shoulder from the president toward his grandchild and from hunter for his daughter is heartbreaking. "the new york times" story is sad. a lot of americans relate to that. i don't know how much it will
7:24 am
affect the election but something everyone can look at and pray on. >> rich: chris bedford, thank you for joining us society. >> julie: former president trump leading the g.o.p. field biff a wide margin in recent polls despite holding fewer campaign events than most of the other candidates and fewer than he himself has done in previous election cycles. his former chief of staff wrens priebus up next. holiday travelers, delays, cancellations and traffic all getting in the way of that independence day spirit.

roads this fourth of july weekend. many force evidence to drive as thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled over the past week. jeff flock live from the pennsylvania turnpike with more. hey, jeff. >> actually i made it to new jersey, julie. we're at the woodrow wilson rest stop off of route 95, as you know it runs all the way from maine to florida. folks are charging tesla's here at the rest stop as you see. as you point out the number, 43 million people to the highways and that is an all-time record according to aaa. that's the projection. more people driving this year. we're back from the pandemic issues and when it comes to air travel. take a look at the numbers from the tsa just in this morning. over the weekend, 8 million people passing through the tsa checkpoints. they said on friday it was the busiest air travel day in their
7:31 am
history. it brought a lot of delays and cancellations all across the country and we talked to the folks at morning consult that keep their finger on the pulse of air travel. they tell us that they think a lot of people are traveling now but this fall maybe not so much. take a listen. >> what i do expect is we'll see more of a drop-off in the fall. i think the fact that travel is more expensive now. gas prices are lower than they were last summer but plane tickets are much more expensive than they were. >> getting back on the road now, julie. we're headed on 95. i think we'll try to head down to the shore. that's what a lot of people are doing this independence day holiday. >> julie: at least you are moving. that's a very good sign. you aren't sitting still. that's the worst when you are sitting in traffic. >> i like to move. >> julie: all right. thank you so much.
7:32 am
safe driving. >> rich: former president trump hitting the trail fewer than before. he leads in the polls by double digits. let's bring in former white house chief of staff reince priebus and the former rnc chairman. in 2016 candidate trump was a force of the campaign trail and point out how many rail eels he did. is this a different candidate? >> well, it's certainly a candidate that understands the rules, i think, much better today than in 2016. he is looking at polling. he is looking at delegates in early states and they are making the decision else they need to make. national polling is important, even though a lot of people
7:33 am
dismiss it on the airwaves because obviously when you have a super tuesday-like event when you have 17 states voting all at once and potentially direct delegates to vote a certain way because delegates choose the nominee, not the voters, believe it or not. it surprises a lot of people. all those things matter. if you look at the polls, they are really not moving too much. there are some candidates getting into that 1% zone so they can get on the debate stage. other than that you have trump with a 30 plus point lead and ron desantis and everyone else. the dynamics have not changed in the last six months in spite of everything that's going on and everything that you just described that's pretty static. >> rich: the latest poll numbers 56% for the former president. ron desantis trails by more than 30 points. all the way below him.
7:34 am
ramaswamy, scott, haley and christie at 1%. you look at those numbers, do they move and how does a candidate get them to move? >> they've got to get -- number one, they are all playing a wait and see game in regard to the president trump. they are all -- no secret we all know many of them are waiting around trying to see how much of a load can president trump's boat take? so far it has taken everything that has come his way. i think part of their plan is to wait and see. the second part of their plan is going back to the early states. going back to the delegates and going back to momentum. can a ron desantis or chris christie or whoever get some momentum in new hampshire, iowa, south carolina and then take that surprise and move it into a
7:35 am
momentum game into super tuesday when you have got the rnc rules changing in that once you get to super tuesday, the delegates are awarded on a winner take all basis. there are some -- won't bore you with the details but generally if a candidate can get to a plurality, if they win with 30% of the vote and everyone else is below that, they get all the delegates. that means that they are basically wiped out. the second part of this, rich, is money. you've got a good 5 or 6 candidates -- i think we know who they are -- they are going to be able to raise the money they need to stay through iowa and new hampshire. there are a lot of them, too, they might not be able to deep this up if they can't get 1, 2, 3, 5% of the vote. i think they will start dropping out. where those votes go is going to really determine whether a real
7:36 am
challenger emerges to president trump. >> rich: you heard the argument from a number of these republicans that they cannot win with president top on top of the ticket. do you agree with that and is it a sound argument? >> it is an argument they should make. it is the argument they need to make in order to move 50 plus percent of the republican vote their direction. there is polling that suggests that's not true. if you look at polling around the battleground states, president trump is beating joe biden. so they have to make the argument but i think the president will also throw other polls in to counter that argument. >> rich: thank you for joining us this morning. >> you bet. >> julie: americans getting ready to fire up the grill for july 4th. but all that grub will not come cheap. we add up the bill for your holiday cook-out coming up next.
