Bishop also airs moments from the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee where senators discussed the topic “Blue City Chaos and Tragedy.” U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, discuss public safety in Chicago and beyond. He also shares criticism from Illinois Republicans to the ongoing heated political rhetoric.
