|
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BOOK. OF WHICH I'M REALLY VERY PROUD OF THIS BOOK. I,... |
| 00:10:02 |
|
YOU CAN COME TO THE TABLE. |
| 00:10:04 |
|
I'LL STAND IF YOU WANT. |
| 00:10:06 |
|
YOU CAN BE COMFORTABLE. |
| 00:10:08 |
|
ARE YOU DEFERRING TO MY AGE? |
| 00:10:10 |
|
I'M DEFERRING TO COMFORT. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:10:12 |
|
WELL, I THINK TWO, AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO START WI KNOW TIM HAS DEVELOPED SOME... |
| 00:10:55 |
|
WELL, I I WOULD SAY TO YOU THAT FORTY-FIRST OF ALL, I, -- FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE READ THIS, PROBABLY... |
| 00:11:55 |
|
OKAY. THANK YOU, STEVE AND I KNEW STEVE WOULD LIKE WHAT I SAID BEFORE ABOUT NO ROOM FOR DEMOCRACY... |
| 00:12:05 |
|
THAT'S A GOOD THING, ACTUALLY. |
| 00:12:07 |
|
THAT'S WHY HE KEPT WINNING ELECTIONS BECAUSE HE WAS A DICTATOR. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT. BEING COUNTY... |
| 00:17:58 |
|
GIVEN THE WAY THE NEWS MEDIA THOUGH IN THE GOTCHA BUSINESS THIS DAY IN AGE, IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE... |
| 00:18:12 |
|
WELL, I THINK IT IS POSSIBLE. I'M NOT SURE WE COULD PRODUCE ANYBODY WHO COULD DO THAT BUT WHAT HE... |
| 00:19:30 |
|
I WANTED TO ASK YOU GOING BACK TO THE 76 CONVENTION, BECAUSE A LOT OF THE YOUNGER PEOPLE HERE DON'T... |
| 00:19:59 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. |
| 00:20:00 |
|
AND YOU WERE HOLDING IT UP ON NATIONAL TELEVISION AND YOU SEEMED TO HAVE HAVING SO MUCH FUN. I REMEMBER... |
| 00:20:51 |
|
WELL -- |
| 00:20:52 |
|
I WONDERED IF YOU WOULD SAY A BIT ABOUT THAT AND ALSO RELATED TO THAT, SAY A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR... |
| 00:20:59 |
|
WELL, THE --, THAT'S WHAT TIM SAYS IS, IS TRUE. IT WAS, WE CAME TO THE POINT WHERE WE HAD BOXED OURSELVES... |
| 00:26:51 |
|
I JUST FOLLOWING UP ON THAT, YOU PROBABLY DID MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE TO DEPRIVE REAGAN OF THE NOMINATION... |
| 00:26:57 |
|
THAT'S RIGHT. |
| 00:26:58 |
|
AND YET HE DIDN'T HOLD A |
| 00:26:59 |
|
NO. REAGAN, REAGAN WAS WONDERFUL. I GOT, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH AS I TOOK HIM ON IN 76, IN 1980 HE HE... |
| 00:28:17 |
|
WE ARE GOING TO DO A LITTLE MORE UP HERE AND THEN WE WILL START GOING WITH QUESTIONS BUT, YOUR REFERENCES... |
| 00:29:13 |
|
IT'S VERY INDIGENOUS AND, AND VERY MEANINGFUL TO POLITICIANS. LOYALTY. I'M SURE STEVE WOULD AGREE... |
| 00:29:42 |
|
LOYALTY IS EVERYTHING. I THINK SADLY THOUGH AS WE GO ON, YOU KNOW, THIS DAY IN AGE, I THINK LOYALTY... |
| 00:29:50 |
|
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU, I'M GLAD YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT'S WITH POLITICS AND WRONG WITH ... |
| 00:31:29 |
|
AND THEN YOU BECOME A COMMITTEE MAN AND GO ON UP THE LADDER. THAT CAN BE DONE. BUT RAISING YOUR MONEY... |
| 00:32:00 |
|
AS FAR AS THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE HIGHER THE LEVEL OF MORE MONEY IS NECESSARY. I THINK INDIVIDUAL CAN'T... |
| 00:32:07 |
|
EXACTLY. WHICH IS JUST NOT HEALTHY. |
| 00:32:10 |
|
YOU LOSE CONTROL. |
| 00:32:11 |
|
YEAH. YOU LOSE CONTROL. YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT. THERE IS JUST SO MUCH MONEY OUT THERE. IT IS VERY DISMAYING... |
| 00:32:38 |
|
BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT PHASE OF QUESTIONS DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? |
| 00:32:41 |
|
I JUST WANT TO GO BACK. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE VICE PRESIDENCY, AND IT'S INTERESTING. IN YOUR BOOK... |
| 00:33:14 |
|
IS VERY INTERESTING. THE VICE PRESIDENT STAYED AT THE EXECUTIVE BUILDING. HIS OFFICE WAS IN THE EXECUTIVE... |
| 00:34:30 |
|
HAVE TO APOLOGIZE. |
| 00:34:31 |
|
I HAVE A SWEATSHIRT WITH THE TARGET ON THE BACK. A LINE THROUGH IT. IT SAYS DICK CHENEY HAD CLUB.... |
| 00:34:43 |
|
BUT TRUST AND. |
| 00:34:44 |
|
HE DOESN'T HAVE TO. YOU JUST BROUGHT IT UP. |
| 00:34:50 |
|
WHAT ABOUT CHARLTON HESTON? THEN WE WILL GOOD AUDIENCE QUESTION. |
| 00:34:57 |
|
WELL, -- |
| 00:34:59 |
|
YEAH. THAT'S RIGHT. IT WAS SUBLIMINAL. HESTON WAS HEAD OF THE NRA, NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. BUT... |
| 00:38:55 |
|
THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO GO TO QUESTIONS. YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT JOB. IF YOU WILL PASS THE MIC. HE PROBABLY... |
| 00:39:07 |
|
WELL, DICK IS SUCH A CHARMING GUY. I HESITATE TO ASK HIM AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION. BUT THOSE WHO KNOW... |
| 00:39:42 |
|
WELL, HE COULD NOT BE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK FOR FOUR TERMS AND NOT TO SOME CRITICISM. YOU KNOW, HE... |
| 00:40:34 |
|
YEAH. |
| 00:40:36 |
|
IN THE END RESULT WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE BULLETS THAT KILLED ALL THOSE PEOPLE INCLUDING THE STATE... |
| 00:40:51 |
|
WELL, HOW MANY POLICE ACCESS TO YOU SEE TODAY THAT OUR BILL HANDLED? IT'S A DANGEROUS BUSINESS. BUT... |
| 00:41:17 |
|
I KEEP OUT OF POLITICS. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:41:18 |
|
WISE ANSWER. |
| 00:41:21 |
|
COULD ANSWER. |
| 00:41:24 |
|
IS THERE ANOTHER QUESTION FROM SOMEBODY? IF NOT, WE HAVE MORE PROBABLY. COME ON. |
| 00:41:33 |
|
YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A STUDENT. |
| 00:41:36 |
|
LET'S BRING UP MICROPHONE UP HERE. |
| 00:41:39 |
|
HE IS ONE OF MY LIFELONG FRIENDS. WHEN I FIRST RAN FOR OFFICE HE WROTE AN ARTICLE, BELL RINGER RING... |
| 00:41:48 |
|
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. I WANTED TO TELL THEM THE STORY. TELL THEM WHAT YOU USED IN THE CAMPAIGN. WELL,... |
| 00:43:26 |
|
WHERE WERE THEY WHEN I NEEDED THEM? BUT, YEAH. I MANAGED TO MAKE -- WHEN I WAS TRYING LAWSUITS I... |
| 00:44:01 |
|
ANYTHING ELSE? |
| 00:44:04 |
|
WE'D BE HERE ALL NIGHT. |
| 00:44:10 |

| 00:44:35 |
|
LOOK, FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. I WILL TELL YOU THIS. I PERSONALLY... |
| 00:45:27 |
|

| 00:46:04 |
|
RIGHT OVER HERE. |
| 00:46:05 |
|
DICK, YOU INDICATED YOU ARE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MEDIA AND LIKE TO TALK TO THE WASHINGTON POST SOUTH,... |
| 00:46:14 |
|

| 00:46:19 |
|
BY THE WAY, THEY ARE HERE TONIGHT. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:46:26 |
|
I DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPLY THE CITY NEWSPAPER. THE CITY NEWSPAPER WAS ALWAYS GOOD TO ME. |
| 00:46:34 |
|
I WAS JUST CURIOUS. |
| 00:46:36 |
|

| 00:46:38 |
|
I WAS JUST CURIOUS HOW YOU FEEL ON THE MEDIA CHANGING FROM 30 YEARS AGO, 40 YEARS AGO? THEIR ROLE... |
| 00:46:55 |
|
I'LL TELL YOU. I HAVE ENORMOUS RESPECT FOR THE MEDIA. BECAUSE I THINK THAT NEWSPAPERS -- AND OF COURSE... |
| 00:48:29 |
|
WHAT I WAS RETURNING TO GET THAT, TO YOU THINK THEY ARE REPORTING THE SAME WAY PUBLICATIONS AND TELEVISION... |
| 00:48:37 |
|
NOT EXACTLY. THERE ARE FORCED INTO A SITUATION NOW WHERE SOUND BITES ARE SO IMPORTANT. AND WHAT THEY... |
| 00:49:29 |
|
I NOTICED YOU MENTION THE DNC AND THE NEW YORK TIMES. YOU PICK UP THE CITY EACH WEEST? |
| 00:49:35 |
|
I SEE IT NOW AND THEN. IT'S ON THE RACKS. [LAUGHTER] |
| 00:49:44 |
|
I'M TRYING TO HELP. |
| 00:49:45 |
|
I DON'T PICK IT UP EVERY DAY. I DO SEE IT. IT IS AROUND. |
| 00:49:49 |
|
I HAVE TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN. I HAVE BEEN ON GOOD BEHAVIOR. |
| 00:49:54 |
|

| 00:49:57 |
|

| 00:50:05 |
|

| 00:50:18 |
|
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU. I HAVE -- THE TRANSITION HAS BEEN A LOT OF FUN. THIS HAS BEEN A NEW EXPERIENCE.... |

| 00:53:21 |
|
THERE IS NO SET UP. I WAS CURIOUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE REFERENCE TO A TIME FRAME WHEN THE NEW YORK STATE... |
| 00:53:57 |

OF COURSE THOSE PEOPLE BLAME IT ON AND OVEREXERTED TAX POLICY, TAXING BUSINESS AND BEEN SPENDING WAY... |
| 00:56:34 |
