Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell and Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson discuss the Trump administration’s efforts to stop violent crime in American cities on ‘The Faulkner Focus.’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!During the American Civil War, generals were known to ask for the daily "butcher’s bill," a euphemism for the number of casualties incurred from that day’s battle.
This past Labor Day weekend in Chicago, the butcher’s bill was 58 people shot, dozens injured and eight killed due to gun violence, compared to 55 people shot and eight killed during the 4th of July weekend.
So far this year, Chicago’s butcher’s bill is averaging about one murder a day, according to the Chicago Police Department, which has already reported nearly 1,000 shootings, 278 murders, and 1,094 sexual assaults, not to mention significant problems with burglary, theft and carjackings.

At this rate, Chicago remains the murder capital of America, or as Trump recently said, "the most dangerous city in the world." This is unacceptable and intolerable.

Moreover, Chicago is short thousands of police officers, making it that much harder to do community policing in rough neighborhoods or to respond to 911 calls in a timely manner.
"Even the mafia is leaving Chicago because of crime," said Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy on August 29.

I also agree with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who recently said, "Governor [JB] Pritzker should spend less time demonizing the police, more time trying to recruit more police."
Yet according to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Pritzker and other Illinois Democrats, everything is hunky-dory. Nothing to see here.
