in chicago. seven of those people were killed including a 7-year-old boy. just moments ago chicago police superintendent gary mccarthy stood in front of a long table full of confiscated illegal guns and spoke passionately about what he calls a broken system. >> i'm angry. i'm frustrated. and i'm frustrated and angry that we're here again talking about another senseless murder. pick out the names, idea pendleton, the list goes on and on this has got to stop. we can put 10,000 police officers on the street and what would happen? maybe we'll arrest mr. brown 90 times and nothing will happen. maybe we'll take another 10,000 guns off the street and another 10,000 will fill up that illegal market the next day. i'm incredibly proud of the men and women in this department who, in spite of what i'm talking about, go out every single day and do what they do. we need some help here folks, we have to fix this broken system. >>> cnn's ryan young joining us on the phone from chicago. also in washington former

they moved to chicago. he's raised in chicago. he is a chicago kid. just like other migrants, he knows things about the south. he learns things about the south from family members from the south. he actually visited the south before. he had done so as a toddler. he had had migrants around him all the time. he also learned some people in his family -- he had grown up visiting chicago. there are lots of things -- there is a really rich church community. his grandmother was a founding member. she said my mother took in relatives and friends of our relatives. even some relatives are -- even some people are relatives did not know. that is just what we did. how cool is that? how many stores we do here about people list -- stories what you hear about people escaping? they found the promise land was not as promising as they had hoped. they met jack crow, what i call the northern version of jim crow. emmett would have learned things about the south. he didn't know the same way that other southerners did. when you think about this network, have ever heard about

>> i love chicago. my wife is from downtown chicago. it is a great city. you look at what happened in detroit. i'm not going to make the direct comparison to puerto rico. i think we all know it's out there. but i wonder does chicago have a money problem or does chicago have a political promises problem where people 25 years ago stuff that politicians know they didn't care. they'd be out of office or dead before the stuff had to be paid. people relied on those promises. now what? >> first, yeah the benefits are large and we have people living longer. but the other problem, this isn't just city workers. the city hasn't made a pension contribution from '0 -- yv'04 to '14. what we have to do is fix the pension plan for the guy we hire tomorrow or the day after that or the day after that. we have an actuarial problem. it took us 20 30 years to get here. it is going to solve over 20 and 30 years. it won't just be taxes and it won't just be cuts. >> the answer sounds like no guaranteed pension. i mean that's a thing of the past isn't it? move to a 401(k) program

in chicago there are three great things going on in chicago, four great things in chicago that i love. one mayor emanuel inherited but wants to accelerate. it is the untangling, this is something everybody who is watching will identify with because everybody has been stuck at a train crossing where the train tracks cross the road you're on. >> i thought you were going there. >> and you know there are a lot of unnecessary deaths in america. >> oh, yes. >> michael ward of csx gave me a startling new statistic because people in cars don't believe the gates and try to go around them thinking they can beat the train. so aside from, i don't want to talk about only depressing things. aside from suicide by train there is also fatalities that are unnecessary but that is in because the tracks cross the roads because they're old. >> yes. >> and in chicago there has been a particular problem because a quarter of all rail traffic in america goes through chicago and it is an old system. >> right. >> and it also dates back to the time when the u.s. didn't have a system. they had a bunch of separate

they moved to chicago, and he is raised in chicago, raised until he is killed, but he is a chicago kid. just like other migrants, he knows things about the south and learns things about the self from the family members who are from the south. he actually visited the south before his fatal trip. he had done so as a toddler. he did not have the mirror that, but he had migrants around him all the time. there are lots of mississippi people there. he also learn from people and his family. his mother would talk to him about the south. she grew up visiting chicago and there were lots of things in chicago that were similar to the south and lots of things that were distinct. one in particular is a really rich church community. she goes to the church of god in christ, where his grandmother was a founding member. you read about him saying that she took it relatives, friends and relatives, and even some people that they did not know. that is what they did. she said it was the sort of underground railroad. think about all the stories that you would hear of people escaping rationalized -- racialized

>> but in the late 90's chicago started to create that starts -- stands for chicago. rail. blah, blah, blah. and it finally got federal funding for the first phase and to straighten this out. of lot has been completed and i was there watching and they had done a lot of innovative things chicago was paul darr if they had not done that because that now because of untangling, we did this in massachusetts with instant bridges over 40 ricans 14 different bridges play into place over a weekend. note they are not mutually long but i some of there will be a park their real green space develop which is not on top of it but it is nearby to have a more vibrant neighborhood. other factories for their besides the four jobs ended is an impressive project but it is taking time is running out of money. >> host: that is the big fear. >> guest: so that is one. that i believe we ought to do get rid where a train tracks cross streets. every place. >> host: that was of big issue with the federal highway administration and the railroad administration and my years at the department. >> click at i

questioner: i was in chicago for a few days and i took an agricultural tour of the chicago river. it is really surprising. it is smack in the middle of chicago. it is not like the east river. it is a small river. you would never suspect that you would have a massive disaster like this. also -- i get on my boat at south michigan. mccarthy: you were close. michigan would have been closer to the late and you are about three streets inland. yes? questioner: what happened in the trial? mccarthy: you have to read the book. i will tell you. that is what the book jacket says. the prosecutors tried for a very difficult charge of conspiracy. they had to prove and they argued that the steamboat inspectors conspired with the owners, and the officers of the ship conspired together to knowingly send a ship to sea and left people in danger and they died. almost impossible to prove. it was a rotten way to try the case. the effect of that was, all the men, the six either guilty or innocent. erickson was innocent. he is one of the six. four were probably guilty. darrow, effectively, got everybody o

the mayor of chicago presides over the ceremony. at the end, he tells the crowd after a long discussion of how much travesty there had been in the city, he closed by saying three words, "the city mourns." ok. we have to talk about what happened. how did this happen? we have not known. there have been a couple of books that did not do a good job describing it. they did not come up with anything plausible. it took more research and digging into national archives and a criminal transcript to find out what happened. let's talk about the ballast system. member i talked about the fact that inside the ship is machinery used to stabilize it and when improperly used, it can cause it to seesaw. the reason for this is, the incredible natural thing of man outdo nature and nature reminding us who is in charge. this is the harbor in michigan. the ship was built in a michigan town and the shipyard was on the black river. the homeport was the black river. there are ominous geographical elements. if you look to the bottom-left i am looking at a naut

suburbs that they say provide a safe haven for chicago gun shops. the lawsuit points to a report released last year indicating that nearly 20% of guns recovered from crime scenes in chicago were sold legally by only four dealers just outside of the city. the lawsuit also claims that this is disproportionately jeopardizing the rights of black americans. >> we think that everybody owes it to the people of chicago, particularly the african american population that is the disproportion at it victim of gun violence in chicago to try to stop it and make sure the flow of illegal guns for illegal purposes isn't killing people. >> illinois does not license and regulate gun dealers operating in the state instead leaving it up to cities to control. additional states require dealers to conduct background checks retain reports of sales or report sales to law enforcement. illinois is not one of them. one dealer is responsible for almost half of the amount of recovered firearms. >> we're tired of chuck's and the other gun shops going to the banks when we go to fun

i sometimes think i don't have a car in chicago and that's one thing i love about chicago, but if i'm home in wisconsin and driving a car someplace and i'm going slowly i think to myself while i'm driving like mr. nash. that makes me think of harper itself as the name. i think some of you would be familiar with this but maybe not most. whenever i hear that the back comes in england for example have a little daughter, victoria and victoria and david beckham have a little girl named harper or all the many other children that are named harper, i i think of how that name came to be. it really was a thanks to an otherwise forgotten pediatrician who was able to come up with a formula that the three sisters as a baby she was unable to digest formula. this pediatrician finally after they made the rounds to other doctors and were desperately worried that louise wouldn't survive if she couldn't digest formula, they came across a pediatrician by the name of doctor william harper. ten years later louise lee was ten years old and another baby came along, this name was in tribute to this physician.

the streets of chicago are not unsafe. certain areas there is gang activity in certain types of violence. is a very interesting dichotomy, but also, violence in urban areas of very interest and . chicago has some of the safest neighborhoods in the country. the north side where you go and shop all the time. the places are extraordinarily safe. as is the case in most urban areas, there are communities and pockets of usually intense poverty and violence. you've seen it in baltimore. the mayor landrieu talking about new orleans. detroit is changing because of what is happening with the demographics there. it is an urban problem, but it is almost always confined to a few areas. betty: moving on from what is going on in chicago locally to what is going on globally. greece, i know you're watching the headlines there. i know it is affecting the debt market and markets overall. are you worried about greece? >> i don't think the markets are either. i am hiking, birdwatching and doing some sessions. i'm doing all of the things i can'

and his american stronghold is chicago. the dea says his cartel supplies 80% of heroin, cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine to the windy city. moments ago the chicago crime commission a nonprofit dedicated to improving the criminal justice system in chicago named el chapo public enemy number one. joining me right now to talk about el chapo's influence in chicago in particular is michael vigil, the former dea chief of international operations. good to see you, michael. >> good seeing you. >> what is it about chicago and el chapo and this direct line to supply so much? >> the thing is, chicago is a very strategic location for the sinaloa cartel. it's a transportation hub. the ethnicity of chicago lends itself to a lot of the drug trade. the gang culture and apart from that, you know, the size of the city. so chicago in essence has become the principle distribution hub in the united states supplanting miami that used to control it many years zblag is your feeling chicago has worked hard to do something, kind occur this traf

the railroads come to chicago the pigs come to be slaughtered in chicago. some said chicago smelled worse than any city in the world. chicago is the late 19th century city. new york is the money metropolis . chicago is the place where the western activity, the western resources were brought together in the middle of the country and made to produce dems that could be sold for a lot of money. chicago is where a lot of the innovation occurred. the columbian exposition was a moment when americans came on the world stage to show off that they were part of the developed world. these world faairs warlike nothing we have today -- were like nothing we have today. they were moments for cultural representation. the rulesthey are the the equivalent of the olympics today. why did the chinese and russians want to have the olympics? it was to show off that they were big countries, that they mattered that they can compete with the u.s. it is funny we end up rooting for our country to get more metals. it is really important we have more metals than the chinese. why? it is f

route 66, eight states, three time zones 2400-plus miles chicago to santa monica. the urban experience is far different of course than it would be out in say, the high desert of new mexico or arizona, or the panhandle or texas or the ozarks or missouri or even farm lands of central illinois where the road it's wide open, you know. in there it's really -- and when it goes through a small town, or wherever it's still main street in that town. but here it's urban. so what you'll see on 11th street, aka route 66 in tulsa, traditionally there were a lot of things related to the road such as automotive businesses garages, some small motels but you don't necessarily see the catch traveller tourist attractions that you'll see out in the country like the world's largest totem pole or the blue whale or the natural sights like the painted desert or the petrified fosh rest. so across the street you have this public school and you have all of the route 66 states up there, america's main street around the corner. tally's, road warriors come from all over the world to eat. just a

this is fought just a chicago thing. this happens to be highlighted right now in chicago. since hipra was created, one being found out in the guidelines, that blows off statistical charts out of the water. how is that possible? then they're so not transparent. they're so covered up in everything they do. you see it from this statement. why didn't the chiefed a machineied ay chief administrator sit down with reporters? it's not the way it's done. few look at the statement, there was a report locally at least that was written by the mayor's press office. >> i want to extend the conversation to come on and talk about the work they're doing there. i want to zero in on a statistic you said which strikes me more unsettleing in some ways tan complaints lodged by the two individuals you talked to. 400 officers-involved shootings investigated by hipra only one found to be unjustified or outside the guidelines. >> yeah. and it's very you know that's what they look at. they only look at the chicago police department's rules as they're set up and then whether the shootings at the mome
