he became a pillar of the new chicago. in 1872, robert lincoln joined with edward eischen to form his own firm. he was the vice president of the chicago historical society come a trustee of the second presbyterian church. his wife, mary, had given birth to two more children after mimi. abraham lincoln the second, known as jack, in 1873. and daughter jessie, born in 1875. sadly, roberts mother became a continuing cause of concern. of the quote "i am in constant hot water about about her." a crisis developed in 1875 foot when mary lincoln became convinced that her only remaining son was mortally ill and left her residence in florida in an orange group to come to his bedside. this is the 10th anniversary of the loss of her husband. reassuring telegrams from robert about his robust health could not deter her. robert to see there was a crisis at hand because his wife was pregnant with her third child, and if she had not been approaching confinement, she would not welcome mary into their home. so robber had to take his mother to

[inaudible] involving the backlash or reaction to some significant changes in our core curriculum. there was some lobbying groups and petitions being formed coming from rather different directions attempting to influence and pressure the faculty into the reverse changes or to modify the changes and also to change the content of new

chicago is still waiting. why does the president keep talking about the windy city. >> i think it is about embarrassing barack obama. i think this is, i am going to go tower hometown and show that i care about it more than you. i think your agenda is sensationalism. it bothers me. this is blood out here. >> reporter: the white house, for its part, says law and order is the top priority. cnn reached out to the white house directly asking why the president keeps singling out chicago and we haven't heard back. rosa flores, cnn, chicago. >> i can tell you from having worked in the chicago burroueaud seeing blood on the streets, there are good people looking for solutions. they want actions and not word. >> they deserve it. chicago is a great, great city but it has got a huge problem with that, the gang situation there. we'll again follow up on that story as well and see if there is reaction from president trump. >>> coming up here, one family's dangerous journey fleeing syria is captured in an oscar-nominated docu

. >> the university of chicago school of social service administration hosted a discussion recently on academic freedom and diversity on college campuses. panelists include a documentary filmmaker, authors and professors from yale university and the university of michigan and chicago. this is just over 90 minutes. >> okay, good evening, everyone. i guess it's feeding time now. the sun is setting so early. for those of you who don't know me i'm neil guterman, the dean of the school of social service administration here at the university of chicago and i want to thank you for joining us for this evenings event. american universities have long been unique institutions that generate novel sometimes controversial and even classic ideas that will challenge and sometimes press popular wisdom bringing to bear deeper more rigorous analyses of evidence. such ideas can at times you'll advances or even breakthroughs of the most vexing questions and problems of our day. one of the most indispensable pillars in higher education, which makes such advanced wholly possible, is a cardinal principle and

the city of chicago is. the community is. the leaders, the power structures of the black inner city community is. if i may, bear with me. i want to show everybody what the numbers are. in chicago, 5.9% unemployment rate. look at these number ofs in the neighborhoods. look at the unemployment rate in spot of poorest areas. the south side of chicago. there are two words we are not hearing a lot about. one of them is jobs. people are afraid to invest there. and the other part are drugs that are fueling and driving and paying for the violence that's rampant and frankly the community that is indifferent to the result. >> well, you have to understand what mr. trump's ascension to the presidency has optimism in america. and the business community will participate with us in providing jobs for rehabilitation of dilapidated house and rehabilitation of housing to provide better living conditions. when we do that we are looking for an upgrade. the trump administration is going to work directly with the community. i'm simply going to be

the culture of chicago, is it anti-crime or anti-cop? >> the people of chicago are not anti-cop. they are anticrime. they are peoplwho wants to see more patrolling in their neighborhoods. but it's also like i stead, it's economics. the people of chicago are anti-crime, not anti-police. god police and god bless america. liz: media outlets have been touting town hall protests break out across the country. my next guest says they are not spontaneous. there is a manual on how to set up the protests. >> this tells them how to ambush republicans it says gets seated and spread out. stone it convenient stew to grab seats at the front of room. but do not sit all together. sit? groups of two or spread out across the room. this will help increase the impression of broad concession. liz: it seems the protesters' goals are to sabotage the golf and the trump presidency. but the looks like they are locals. >> as a former community oer for the left, this is exactly x would do. you get people on your list, activists who would never go to a town hall for a republican. there are a lot of frustrated

education and to some extent the university of chicago. freedom is academic represented by a bundle of concepts practiced, vigorously andht over and defended criticized within the larger context of the larger german universities. faculty at founding this university were trained or studied at these universities, at least for a short time, enough to draw inspiration, values, and ideals on economic freedom. ideas that were strange for americans to comprehend because these were state universities. civil servants, paid in some way to do the states bidding. they decided it had to do at the advancement of knowledge and the creation of original research as a national cultural project. initially there was a 10 to see to create a homogeneous culture because this was good for the state. one had to allow and permit the faculty the freedom to do it, so there was built in to whole assumption of economic freedom a paradox, in order to be perfectly conformist and supporting the states project of cultural renewal, one had to be free, so this tension was em

i used to go to chicago a lot. i would walk by sergeant drugs and had a personalized fond memory of that because of my father it was owned by a german american family and they took him in and provided him with a place to live while he worked at the drugstore. for quite a period of time, my father looked for a place that was big enough for my mother and my sister and i to come and join him but it took him a year until he finally found that place in south chicago. fairly close to lake michigan, i remember walking there from the apartment on sundays. and sort of playing next to the water, we lived in this very monthsest apartment and i recalled it was -- my mother in particular, was very nervous about me growing up in that apartment because it was a very rough neighborhood and the kids were very rough, i was kindergarten age. i remember one of the favorite games we had was bomb the jap. and we had this. one of the kids had this dummy bomb that was all metal. we would go up our apartments and throw it out of the window

president trump calling for an end to the carnage in chicago. >> we'll have to do something about chicago. the city already off to a deadly start in this new year. we'll take all of that up with pastor darrell scott. he met with the president today. he joins me next. this space jumper on the move. we'll have his amazing high-stakes leap straight ahead in the video. a lot more coming up as well. we are coming right back. just like the people who own them, every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be help starting your business, vendor contracts or employment agreements. legalzoom's network of attorneys can help you every step of the way so you can focus on what you do. we'll handle the legal stuff that comes up along the way. legalzoom. legal lp is here. this is one gorgeous truck. special edition. oh, did i say there's only one special edition? because, actually there's 5. aaaahh!! ooohh!! uh! holy mackerel. wow. nice. strength and style. which one's your favorite? come home with me! it's truck month! find your tag

what is going on in chicago? >> to find out, joining me now is kim fox, chicago's new top prosecutor as cook county state's attorney overseeing the largest unified criminal court system in the country. welcome. congratulations on your new position. what is your response to the way the president is describing what's going on in chicago? is he right? >> you know, thank you, andrea. we had a very terrible year as it relates to homicides in chicago in 2016, which defied a trend with homicides going down over the last several decades. it was a terrible year. i don't think that it defines where we are going in direction in chicago. and i certainly don't think it defines the spirit of the people here in chicago and cook county on how we are going to defeat these issues. >> and what is the status of the consent degree? loretta lynch before the inauguration, before she left office announced in chicago they were taking over the police department. is that something that now has to be negotiated? and what do you foresee give

i think chicago has had, you know, for good or bad, whether it's -- this is not just a chicago problem, this is a problem that's a global problem in nature and it's all through the u.s. right now i don't want to say just because it's ring fence it's okay because it's not. that was my point. we have a moral obligation to do things. cme is part of that obligation. we are doing things, we are a huge supporter of the chicago public schools. one of the things that, i think, needs to happen, liz, you to gave safe passage, if you give children safe passage to and from school, they'll be able to learn and move forward in society. when they are afraid to leave their home even to go to school, they have absolutely in chance. you have to give them safe passage. liz: before we go, you have a dog in the super bowl fight, terry? >> no, i don't have to worry about my chicago bears being in it any time soon. no, no dog in the hunt there, liz. who are you rooting for? liz: cleveland browns, aren't they in it? >> they will do just fine. liz: my crew calls them the cleveland clowns. >> do you remind ever

chicago needs help. illinois democratic senator tammy duckworth responded within an hour tweeting, won't stop the violence. how about working to address the root causes of violence like economic justice and gun trafficking? as senator durbin and i recently wrote, if you are serious about stopping the violence, there's a lot we can do. through wednesday there have been 379 shooting incidents in chicago this year. according to the police department's numbers, that's up from 365 a year earlier. bu early by the "chicago tribune's" account, 495 people have been shot in the city of chicago so far this year. just an absolute tragedy. >> it is shocking what is happening there in chicago. >>> also this morning, the justice department has rescinded the obama administration order to phase out the use of private prison contracts. in a memo, jeff sessions says the order, quote, imparped the viewer's ability to meet the needs of the future correctional system. the old memo written by former deputy attorney general sal

>> what is going on in chicago? we cannot allow this to continue. we've allowed too many young lives to be claimed and you see that, you see that all over, claimed by gangs. you look at chicago and you look at other places, so many of the problems are caused by gang members, is many of whom are not even legally in our country. >> speaking at a law enforcement conference in washington today, the president mentioned something he seems to love to talk about incorrectly -- violence in this city of chicago where he's threatened to "send in the feds" even though an atf agent told the "washington post" "we always have been here, we work very closely with the chicago police department." today he said many of chicago's problems are caused by gang members here illegally. there's no evidence to black this up. the "new york times" pointout contrary to trums aims immigrants are less likely to commit crimes. trump's characterization of chicago as this short hand talking point for violence is one of the reasons that we came here to chicago where i'll be hosting a

what is going on in chicago? we will fight violent crime and we will win. and we will win quickly once we give local law enforcement the right to go in and fight it. >> for more on how mr. trump plans to increase spending on law enforcement and fight violent crime, michael eric dyson join me earlier. he is a professor, activist, minister, and author. he joins me now. will the plan to spread more money on federal law enforcement help to fight violent crime? >> i don't think so. i think partly what has been revealed in chicago is that law enforcement has been out of control and have not been brought under heel. a momenthim moment -- that needs to occur either locally or with federal assistance. if you want to help stem the tide of violence in chicago, look at the surrounding elements and the broader environment. look at school systems and housing markets that are being ravaged. if you want to help african-american people and others who are victims of violent crimes in the inner city, give jobs to those people to relieve the economic suffering they endure. >>

we go to mike tobin, and chicago with an inside look. mike. >> to start to understand the violence, you need to understand that for a young man living in these troubled neighborhoods, if he had a reputation for backing up a lot of kills, hurting a lot of people, he is intimidating. in that world, that translates to power and respect. >> you are cutting a gun right now, aren't you? >> i always carry one. this man said he became active with the black disciples at age. >> no one formerly joins a gang, the young man i started with just started hanging around gangs mostly for protection going to school. they got their first gun as preteens, usually a gift. >> i looked at it like i was love, the simple fact that they wanted to see me protected, they wanted to protect my life. >> gunfire linked to gangs as part of every day on the south and west side. just this week, three children were killed by stray bullets. the police superintendent continues to cry out for tougher sentencing. >> we need to create a culture of accountability of picking up a

we've taken the opportunity to turn the temperature down in chicago. if you notice that comment negative three degrees celsius and i left this morning. you otherwise enjoy your stay. the united states and united states and estrada have long been strong allies and shared values and interests. in fact, we've been intrinsically linked since the very beginning but then historians have noted one of the consequences of america's winning the war of independence against the british was they expect anymore convex bed prisons in pennsylvania anywhere were cut off from around 1783. it's no surprise then that a few short leaders in january 1788, governor phillip sailed around south had into what is now sydney harbour. it then became the foundation for a new nation. america's fourth of july celebration in yesterday holiday and they have endured into the modern era. since the early 1900s, australia has not missed a war. the u.s. has participated. the economic relationship of the two countries remains very robust. and the leaders of the two countries nearly two weeks

is begin with a headline from "the chicago tribune." -- let's begin with a headline from "the chicago tribune." federal agents have become newly aggressive under president trump, who campaign for office with a vow to create a deportation force. officials insist they have not made fundamental changes in enforcement action, and they deny stopping people randomly at checkpoint or conducting sweeps at locations where undocumented immigrants are common. however, anxiety among immigrants spiked last week after ace conducted a series of enforcement actions in large areas, detaining hundreds of people in chicago, los angeles, new york, atlanta, and other cities. a statement released saturday saying reports of the enforcement actions have raised grave human rights concerns. members of the congressional the mending a meeting with ice. we want to begin with some other breaking news overnight. this from "time" magazine. there is a report of a missile test by north korea. north korea reportedly fired a ballistic missile early sunday morning in what would be its first such test of the year and an i

what is happening in chicago should not be happening in this country. liz: you remember mayor rahm emanuel, he immediately attacked donald trump saying he is too divisive, he, you but no -- now mayor saying send them in. >> you know what. that is so good thing. what happened is that democratic leadership has failed the people. i am a democrat who voted for donald trump. for that very reason, reason why donald trump is president right now. and i am so happy that to know that our mayor, rahm emanuel has citizens first. to put our inner-city youth, blacks and latinos, poor whites the people in stay of chicago all of our citizens in chicago, whether they are poor or rich, i am glad he is putting then all first. i am just grateful for, that and at least that is a start in the democratic leadership in the right direction. liz: can i bring up a point that "wall street journal" raised. really interesting, that for last two years, a big country, a country that was a brig backer -- big backer of terror, pakistan is seeing a drop in terror as economic grow ces up
