Meet the Black Woman Who Says Trump is Hearing Her Call For A Chicago Crackdown
President Trump is reportedly preparing to send in the Feds to tackle crime and immigration enforcement in Chicago. State and city leaders say they do not want that to happen. Trump says beautiful “African American Ladies” in Chicago do. Victor speaks to Danielle Carter-Walters of Chicago Flips Red, who says the President was referring to her. First - a look at whether Trump’s words about fighting crime match actual actions towards curbing gun violence. Victor gets perspective from Kasim Reed, the former mayor of Atlanta, Leo Smith, former minority engagement director for the Georgia GOP, and Jason “Jah” Lee, senior editor of Bossip. Plus, lawmakers in Washington State want more answers after 2 members of a crew helping contain a wildfire were arrested by Border Patrol. State Representative Shaun Scott joins Victor to explain why he thinks both parties have blame for what's going on. And for "Art is Life" this week, we're wondering: is signing your signature soon going to be a lost art? Victor speaks to Terrell and Chelsea Whittington about Cursive Academy, and their effort to get more kids to learn the skill being taught in a decreasing number of schools.
