can the president solve chicago's gun crime problem. this is gianno caldwell a republican strategist and chicago native. when you see all this going on, what goes through your mind? >> i think it's necessary, you know, trump said during the election that chicago had become a war zone. i happen to agree with that premise for a couple different reasons. me being a resident that was born and raised in chicago i saw violence on a daily basis but as of recently it devastated my family. memorial day weekend my my younger sibling was in the car with two of his friends on the south side of chicago when two young men walked up to the car and riddled it with 25 bullets. my younger brother thankfully lived through the ordeal but his best friend died in his apps. we had to get him out of chicago and move him to california. this is a very troublely time for chicago and the officials there, i'm talking about the mayor who in 2011 ran on the prem this m us that he was going to stop the violence

clearly failed, rare rahm emanuel that is. >> how do politicians change the mind-set? how do they get people away from this mind-set that violence is the answer? is it a political answer? do you go -- do you enlist the communities, teachers, community leaders? who holds the bag. >> it's obviously a holistic approach. it will take some funding, education is obviously a big part of it jobs training all those kind of things and when this happened to my younger brother i went to the white house immediately and i told president trump's senior staff that he has to keep his commitment which was if chicago doesn't fix the carnage i'll send in the feds so we saw last week he sent in the feds but this is a multi prong strategy. this isn't just let's put in law enforcement and see what happens. this is, you know, we got to do something about job training, we got to do something about education, about a number of different things because chicago's leaders have effectively proven that they failed at battling this crisis and i don't see how people like rahm emanuel could choose to even run for reelection when he's failed chicago's most

vulnerable citizens. >> and he's been re-elected once already. >> he's been re-elected once already. i'll tell you this. you know when people said trump shouldn't say they should send in the feds and the national guards and all these different things people have said well rahm emanuel was elected in 2011n2010 there were two state representatives, one leshawn ford and the other jay frece who was a state rep, he's now moved on but these were both democrats and they requested the national guard to come into town. >> rahm emanuel welcomed federal help, he didn't want the national guard per se because i figure if you're a leader and you have the national guard rolling into your city the optics of that and politicians look at that all the time, but is this a good step adding this assistant, this task force is that a good step. >> i may not be inkind that support the national guard at this point but however this is a good first step.& there are a number of other steps that must be taken to stem a very systemic issue. i got to say and this is very much the folks in chicago know is

though in my personal opinion that he cares about the black population that are really suffering through this systemic violence. his concern is mostly been about the sanctuary city and protecting illegal immigrants and i think that that's problematic on many levels and for folks who are in that city, they should take note to what he's doing on his lack of concern for their issues. >> i know the president's made quite a issue of this, you know, and this is a man who the president is a businessman has made investments in chicago so he has a vested interest, doesn't live there but he has a hotel there, some other investments. is the president -- you know, what do you want to see happen next? is there going to be a next step? will this address the problem or what do you want to see the president do. >> jim, i don't think that any of his properties that he divested from is of concern just because they're there. i know there's people that would make that consideration. >> i'm only pointing it out because this is a city that he had glowing words about, he loved chicago back in 2004 that's one of the reasons he invested. it's not a political point i'm trying to make just to be clear. >> okay. i thi

and i know there's been people that have said a lot of things about president trump,. >> yeah. >> and i don't agree with all of his rhetoric. i think some of the things he does on twitter may be a bit petty. we can be very honest about that but when it comes to chicago and fixing inner cities he's been very clear about that. this is the only candidate that has ran whether it be democrat or republican that has talked about the inner city, chicago, the fact that if you're in chicago and you're -- >> at what point does he go into the inner cities? at what point does he go into these areas. >> now. but i've been meeting with the white house and having regular conversations with them and there's things that are going to take place. i'm not going to step on their message of what they anticipate doing but president trump i think wants to really do something about this very systemic issue. >> gianno caldwell. thanks for coming. >> thanks. >> appreciate it. marina, back to you. >> ♪ >> new tonight attorney generals across 18 states and the district of columbia are suing education secretary betsy devos. at issue her decision to
