The outgoing governor of Illinois gives a televised statement about deploying the National Guard to Chicago amid unrest. He expresses regret and pride, says he has been in touch with the mayor's office, and praises State Senator Walsh's bill denying felons the right to vote. A commentator questions whether the mayor triggered the deployment and anticipates her reaction. The governor appears to endorse Walsh, and someone asks if he just did so. He says those responsible for the crimes won't influence elections, then thanks the audience. Afterward, a voice notes that 4,000 National Guardsmen have arrived and peace is restored.
