On -- the council.
-- -- Obama ticket for the seven.
That's President Obama and Jesse Jackson two sons of Chicago are calling for more gun control.
The true sons of Chicago.
Which of course is the murder capital the country seemingly more impressed buyout.
What is going on in Aurora Colorado.
Then what is happening.
In their hometown.
Well as we reported to the top of the broadcast last night was also the first time.
That the president talked about the rampant violence in Chicago and by the way I'm Bill O'Reilly the O'Reilly Factor or -- -- don't talk rebel.
We debate to gun control tonight that it apart from a Fox News Channel.
He also the president went -- report that dozens of people gunned down in Chicago.
With murder rates and Atlanta New Orleans Milwaukee and Cleveland you can imagine.
What the president didn't tell everybody is that -- -- has the strictest gun laws in this country.
And the number of murders.
Nowhere near those other cities far far greater.
Atlanta for example.
Atlanta.
With 42.
Murders.
This year.
That's down -- 9%.
Down 9%.
-- -- wants his head nearly ninety murders.
New Orleans.
Ninety.
Milwaukee forty -- Milwaukee.
-- for a town of its -- of its size.
41 murders.
And I think I can claim just a little bit lined that up a little better.
That's -- that's a 15% decline 15%.
The -- And and that's kind of impressive don't you think 15%.
In the past year and yet the president's mentioning these they said it's -- -- last year.
Cleveland.
Cleveland had 59 murders.
Last year and nearly 30% decline from the previous year.
So let's take a look at Chicago and so far this year Chicago.
Chicago or service by itself -- Chicago.

At least 284.
-- to order -- people.
An increase of more than 30% it's actually -- 32% increase.
-- In the number of murders in the past year despite the fact mayor Rahm Emanuel says he was gonna take it down and get it under control.
It means there could be more than 500.
Chicago residents murdered by the end of this year of course.
And according to the Chicago Tribune newspaper violent crime is affecting minorities at a much higher rate than the rest of the population.
That's not true just in Chicago but it is true that in Chicago in the first half of this year.
Of the 259.
Homicide victims in the first six months.
259.
Victims.
200 and -- Were black and Jesse Jackson.
Is in Aurora Colorado are you kidding me.
That's almost 80% of the victims.
And of course African Americans.
Have unfortunately historically.
In Chicago.
Made up more than 70% of the murder victims in that city every year.
For the past twenty years.
Statistics like that deserve more attention.
By the president than one forced reference in the fourth year of his presidency by mr.
Obama.
So I would just say to the president on the issue of gun control.
You're not surprising anyone with your statements now you're meeting what.
Most -- -- folks would call expectations.
And on the appalling murder rates in your adopted hometown of Chicago.
You know better.
And for all of us Mr.
President.
You certainly should be doing a lot better.
