Congressman Mike Quigley (D-IL) joins Terry Moran for a deeply human conversation about fear, resilience, and hope in his hometown of Chicago.
From ICE raids and National Guard deployments to neighbors stepping up for one another, Quigley shares how ordinary people are doing extraordinary things — and why he still believes America’s strength lies in its people.
The discussion moves from politics to faith, from fear to compassion, and ends with a call to unity and perseverance in the face of division.
