What Happened in Chicago and What May Be Next, Explained

Subscribe to Daily SignalSubscribe
Hundreds of vandals looted Chicago businesses Sunday night and into Monday morning. The images of shattered storefronts in and around the city's Loop look more like a war zone than an American city. John Tillman, chairman and CEO of the Illinois Policy Institute, joins the podcast to offer insight into how the streets of Chicago so quickly fell into chaos, and what must be done to prevent further violence and looting. Tillman also explains how Illinois' economy may be affected by the city’s surge in criminal activity and spike in murders this year. We also cover these stories:
  • The police chief of Seattle resigns after the City Council votes to cut the department's budget by almost $4 million.
  • The Chicago man accused of firing shots at police officers Sunday afternoon is now charged with two counts of attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin announces that his nation has approved the first COVID-19 vaccine.
