WELCOME TO THE 25th 80 O "CHICAGO TRIBUNE" PRINTER'S ROW A LITTLE FASTER THE THANK YOU TO BOURSE SPONSORS... |
| 00:01:10 |
|
THANK YOU. WE WELCOME YOU TO COME OUT ON A SATURDAY MORNING IT IS MY A GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE... |
| 00:03:22 |
|
SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. |
| 00:03:25 |
|
THAT IS NOT A GOOD ANSWER. |
| 00:03:27 |
|
IT IS THE BEGINNING OF AN ANSWER. I THINK, I HONESTLY THINK THE WORST IS OVER BUT I DON'T THINK YOU... |
| 00:04:25 |
|
AND I SHOULD HAVE SAID IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK A QUESTION, FEEL FREE. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE END. MARCH... |
| 00:04:56 |
|
WHAT I LIKE ABOUT BERNANKE IS THE MAN HAS BEEN VERY COURAGEOUS I THINK. HE HAS BEEN DOING THINGS THAT... |
| 00:06:35 |
|
DOES THAT AMOUNT TO RUNNING THE PRINTING PRESSES, WHICH EVERYONE HAS HEARD A LOT ABOUT AND SOMETHING... |
| 00:06:45 |
|
THE FED HAS BEEN DOING THE NECESSARY THINGS TO KEEP THE MONEY STOCK FROM GOING DOWN. WHICH IS-- OF... |
| 00:07:20 |
|
WHEN I READ THE BOOK I WAS UNSURE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS VERY IMPORTANT PERSON IS AN... |
| 00:07:38 |
|
MAY BE ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION THAT THEY PUT THEM THERE, GIVEN HIS BACKGROUND.... |
| 00:07:43 |
|
GOOD TIMING FOR THE GO-AHEAD. |
| 00:07:44 |
|
PAUL KRUGMAN SAYS THERE HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH MONEY COMING INTO THE ECONOMY AND OUR OTHER ECONOMISTS... |
| 00:08:04 |
|
YEAH. I THINK THE BIG ISSUE FOR ME IS WHAT WILL THE FEDERAL RESERVE START DOING WHEN THE FINANCIAL... |
| 00:09:21 |
|
I HAVE A FEELING SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF ANYBODY IS TRIED TO GET A LOAN... |
| 00:09:31 |
|
THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS THE FACT IS THAT THE SITUATION IS AS IT IS. NOW IF WE GO BACK TO NORMAL... |
| 00:11:41 |
|
MY GUESS IS THAT THE FED STARTED TO TAKE THE MONEY THE WAY THEY ARE GOING TO GET A LOT OF HEAT FOR... |
| 00:11:51 |
|
THAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM. THAT IS THE BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE CERTAINLY THE FED WILL HAVE TO MOVE IN THIS... |
| 00:12:29 |
|
YES SIR. |
| 00:12:31 |
|
ARE THE BANKS REFUSING TO LEND, DEPRESSING THE ECONOMY IN ORDER TO BEEF UP RECRUITMENTS FOR THE WARS?... |
| 00:12:42 |
|
FOR THE WAR? |
| 00:12:43 |
|
TWO WARS. |
| 00:12:45 |
|
NO, NO. |
| 00:12:47 |
|
THE QUESTION I THINK GOES TO WHETHER HAVING A BAD ECONOMY GETS PEOPLE TO JOIN THE MILITARY AS AN ALTERNATIVE... |
| 00:12:57 |
|
IS THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IT? |
| 00:12:59 |
|
NO, NO, NO. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE BIG DEFENDER OF THE BANKS, BUT THEY HAVE ARRIVED IN A SITUATION... |
| 00:14:08 |
|
WHY DO BANKS LEND TO BANKS? |
| 00:14:10 |
|
BECAUSE BANKS HAVE TO FUND THEIR ACTIVITIES AND HE WILL ALWAYS, IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS COME AND... |
| 00:14:40 |
|
THAT IS WHY THE CREDIT CRUNCH HIT. |
| 00:14:45 |
|
AT THAT POINT IN TIME, ALL BANKS MISTRUSTED ALL THE OTHER BANKS AND NOBODY GAVE AND THE CREDIT TO... |
| 00:14:55 |
|
WHAT IS THE RISK THAT THE CREDIT MARKETS ARE GOING TO PUSH INTO SHORT CIRCUIT THE RECOVERY? |
| 00:15:05 |
|
COULD EVERYONE HEAR THE QUESTION? I WILL REPEAT IT. WHAT IS THE RISK-- DO YOU WANT TO REPEAT IT?... |
| 00:15:13 |
|
WHAT IS THE RISK, ESPECIALLY LONG-TERM INTEREST RATES, WILL GO UP? I THINK IT IS FOR ME FAIRLY CLEAR,... |
| 00:16:35 |
|
THAT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING IN YOUR BOOK WITH YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE IMPERIAL PERSONAL OF... |
| 00:17:05 |
|
LET ME FIRST SAY SOMETHING WITH RESPECT TO THE CRITICISM, THE ACTUAL CRITICISM OF GREENSPAN THAT I... |
| 00:19:35 |
|
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BERNANKE'S BECKMAN? I WAS SURPRISED AND READING THE BOOK THAT HE... |
| 00:19:46 |
|
AND HE WAS, HE SEEMED TO HAVE BEEN A VERY GOOD STUDENT, WHICH IS NOT THAT REMARKABLE, GIVEN THE REMAINDER... |
| 00:20:45 |
|
WHY IS THAT SUCH A SURPRISE? |
| 00:20:47 |
|
BECAUSE, AS FAR AS I COULD DISCOVER HE WAS NEVER IN THE PICTURE FOR OTHER JOBS, AND BECOMING A MEMBER... |
| 00:21:13 |
|
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT. WHAT IS A STRANGER PAIRING, BERNANKE AND HENRY PAULSON OR BERNANKE AND TIM... |
| 00:21:27 |
|
ON A PERSONAL BASIS AS FAR AS I COULD DISCOVER, MR. BERNANKE AND MR. GEITHNER ARE CERTAINLY MUCH MORE... |
| 00:21:37 |
|
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT? |
| 00:21:42 |
|
LET'S SAY I HAVE THE KIND OF LOOK AT LIFE THAT IS MORE COMPARABLE AND A LOOK AT THE ECONOMICS AND... |
| 00:22:38 |
|
THERE WAS A LOT OF RESISTANCE TO GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION IN GENERAL, WHICH NOW WE HAVE SEEN PRETTY... |
| 00:22:58 |
|
FIRST OF ALL THE COMPLACENCY YOU GET AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU HAVE YEARS AND YEARS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH.... |
| 00:23:43 |
|
WHY DO THEY CALL THEM-- CAM HELICOPTER BEN? |
| 00:23:46 |
|
BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DOING WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO. THERE IS A FAMOUS SPEECH OF HIM IN NOVEMBER 2002,... |
| 00:24:19 |
|
IT IS REFERRING TO A HELICOPTER FLYING OVER AND DROPPING MONEY. WASN'T THAT MILTON FRIEDMAN THAT ... |
| 00:24:28 |
|
IT IS SOMETHING RELATED TO KEYNES AND IT HAS BEEN USED BY FRIEDMAN TOO BUT THE ORIGINAL QUOTE IS FROM... |
| 00:24:51 |
|
I LIKE THE IDEA. IF THAT HAPPENS, SOMEBODY ALERT US. WE WILL ALL GO UPSIDE. IT IS NOT WHAT WE ARE... |
| 00:25:01 |
|
I COME BACK TO THE FIRST POINT I MADE THIS MORNING. THERE IS A LOT OF MONEY DESTRUCTION ALSO, GIVEN... |
| 00:26:03 |
|
NOW, WHY DOES THE GERMAN CHANCELLOR THINK BERNANKE HAS TO MUCH POWER AND WHAT WAS SHE THINKING WHEN... |
| 00:26:12 |
|
SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE HABIT TO THINK SO. SO, THIS TIME AROUND EITHER. SHE HAS AN ELECTION IN SEPTEMBER.... |
| 00:26:33 |
|
IS THAT A FAIR CRITICISM THOUGH? IS IT STRICTLY POLITICS? |
| 00:26:38 |
|
IT IS STRICTLY POLITICS. |
| 00:26:39 |
|
IS GERMANY WORSE THAN US, BETTER THAN US? |
| 00:26:44 |
|
GERMANY IS WORSE THAN THE UNITED STATES TODAY AND THERE'S SOMETHING PEOPLE ALWAYS FORGET IN EUROPE.... |
| 00:28:04 |
|
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IS THE 6% DOUBLES BECAUSE ONLY HALF OF THE ECONOMY-- |
| 00:28:08 |
|
GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE OVERALL CONTRACTION IS MORE OR LESS THE SAME, THE CONTRACTION IN THE PRIVATE... |
| 00:28:20 |
|
BY HOW MUCH? |
| 00:28:23 |
|
THE CONTRACTION IN THE UNITED STATES MUST BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF EIGHT OR 9%. IN EUROPE IT IS 12%.... |
| 00:28:31 |
|
SO, HOW HARD THIS THAT MAKE IT FOR EVERYBODY TO COME OUT OF THE MESS WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW? IS THAT... |
| 00:28:40 |
|
I THINK EVERYBODY IS WAITING. IF YOU LOOK OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES, BECAUSE WHAT IS THE HAPPENING... |
| 00:30:33 |
|
OKAY. YES SIR. |
| 00:30:35 |
|
YOU UP AND TALKING ABOUT THE U.S. AND EUROPE AND I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT ABOUT STIMULUS ACTIVITY.... |
| 00:30:49 |
|
I THINK FOR ME IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT CHINA WILL BECOME MORE IMPORTANT ECONOMICALLY, FINANCIALLY,... |
| 00:32:02 |
|
AND, WHAT IS THE REASON THE ZERO TO TRY TO MAKE IT OUT TO BE MORE THAN IT IS? |
| 00:32:07 |
|
BASICALLY THE SAME REASONING AS THE GERMAN REASONING, A FREE RIDE ON THE AMERICAN EXPENSE. |
| 00:32:14 |
|
EVERYBODY IS WAITING FOR US TO BUY. I THINK I LIKED THAT IDEA. EVEN THE BOOK IS A BIT OF A STRETCH.... |
| 00:32:28 |
|
YOU SPOKE ABOUT CHINA. HOW ABOUT INDIA? |
| 00:32:37 |
|
WELL, I THINK INDIA, IT IS LESS-- HOW SHOULD I SAY, LESS OF IN THE PICTURE TO OYSTER EXTENT THAT I... |
| 00:34:51 |
|
THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH THE DOLLAR AND HOW LOW WILL IT GO IF IT IS GOING... |
| 00:35:02 |
|
I AM NOT SURE IT WILL GO DOWN MUCH MORE ACTUALLY THAN IT HAS BEEN BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMY,... |
| 00:37:21 |
|
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK OUR BANKS HAVEN'T BEEN TREATED EXACTLY EQUALLY, GOLDMAN SACHS OF THE TOP AND... |
| 00:37:32 |
|
BEFORE THE RETURN OF THE MILLENNIUM I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WERE $2.50 FOR EVERY DOLLAR OF GDP. THAT... |
| 00:37:56 |
|
WELL, OF COURSE, THE U.S. ECONOMY IS A HUGE ECONOMY. IT IS THE BIGGEST IN THE WORLD, AND YOU HAVE... |
| 00:39:08 |
|
GEITHNER HAS SAID THAT THE FED, WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK FED DIDN'T HAVE A KIND OF REAL... |
| 00:39:52 |
|
THERE IS A LOT TO SAY ON THAT QUESTION. FIRST OF ALL I THINK BERNANKE HAS BEEN VERY CAREFUL WITH ... |
| 00:41:22 |
|
IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY IN A YEAR NOW, THAT WE ALL OWN GENERAL MOTORS AND OTHER... |
| 00:41:53 |
|
YOU CERTAINLY HAVE SAID THEY PRECEDENCE, THAT IS FOR SURE. THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY WAY OF LOOKING... |
| 00:42:49 |
|
CHAPTER 11, A PURE BANKRUPTCY SITUATION WHERE YOU WOULD IMMEDIATELY HAVE PARTS OF THE BUSINESS TAKEN... |
| 00:43:00 |
|
IT IS INTERESTING TO HEAR ABOUT INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS BEING PRESERVED AS A RESULT OF CONGRESSIONAL... |
| 00:43:39 |
|
AS FAR AS I HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND PURELY AS A RESEARCH INTERESTS, NOT AS A BUYER, SPAIN-- THE REAL... |
| 00:44:21 |
|
SOUNDS NICE. |
| 00:44:23 |
|
I DON'T KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THE FLYING TICKETS TO SPAIN ARE. BUT, A REMARKABLE THING IS THAT NONE OF... |
| 00:46:23 |
|
I WISH WE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT. |
| 00:46:27 |
|
TO QUESTIONS. FIRST IS, BUT IT BE FAIR TO SAY THE MARKET THEORY IS WORSE THAN AN ORTHODOXY IN THEOLOGY... |
| 00:46:59 |
|
STARTING WITH ROBERT TRIPTON HELM I HAVE KNOWN VERY WELL. WAS A VERY NICE GUY IN THE LAST TEN YEARS... |
| 00:48:20 |

|

| 00:49:45 |
|
WHY IS IT THAT AYN RAND ALWAYS SEEMS TO BUMP UP ITS SALES WHEN THERE'S AN ECONOMIC CRISIS? |
| 00:49:53 |
|
WELL, THE SALES HAVE BUMPED UP SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR AND THAT IS DIRECTLY AS A RESULT OF... |
| 00:50:23 |
|
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CURRENT RESPONSE, THE PUBLIC POLICY RESPONSE TO THE ECONOMIC SITUATION WE... |
| 00:50:30 |
|
TOTAL DISASTER. THE WHOLE PREMISE BEHIND THE RESPONSE IS THAT THE FREE MARKET IS THE ESSENTIAL PROBLEM,... |

FOR YOU MAAM, DO YOU THINK THAT ECONOMICS HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TEACHERS BEING PURSUED IN FLORIDA?... |

|
THANKING VERY MUCH AND I'M GLAD TO SEE THE BIG CROWD HERE GO TO TALK TO ELIZABETH BRACKETT WHO WAS... |
| 03:03:00 |
|
IN WHAT WAYS IS UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ROD AND PATTI BLAGOJEVICH AND PATTI BLAGOJEVICH'S... |
| 03:03:15 |
|
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS PUZZLE. YOU KNOW, ROD BLAGOJEVICH'S POLITICAL CAREER BEGAN AFTER... |
| 03:03:36 |
|
WHAT EXACTLY WAS HE DOING WHEN THEY MET. |
| 03:03:41 |
|
HE HAD BEEN A FORMER STATES ATTORNEY AT 51st AND WENTWORTH AND HE HAD HIS LAW DEGREE. HE SET UP SORT... |
| 03:04:40 |
|
SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT THAT ONE AND THAT LAUNCHED HIS POLITICAL CAREER. |
| 03:04:45 |
|
WHAT WAS IT ABOUT -- DO YOU THINK -- DO YOU THINK THAT WHEN HE WAS A STOREFRONT LAWYER WITH HIS MOTHER... |
| 03:04:58 |
|
I THINK HE ALWAYS HAD SOME POLITICAL DREAMS, YOU KNOW, THE ONE SUBJECT THAT HE ALWAYS LOVED WAS HISTORY.... |
| 03:05:59 |
|
IT DOESN'T SEEM HIS TRAJECTORY UNTIL HE MET PATTI MEL WAS POLITICAL AT THAT POINT, RIGHT? YOU DON'T... |
| 03:06:11 |
|
YOU HAVE TO WONDER WHY HE WANTED TO BECOME A LAWYER. IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND HE MAY HAVE WANTED TO... |
| 03:06:34 |
|
BUT THERE WASN'T THE SENSE THAT HE WAS THIS BRILLIANT PERSON WHO HAD ALL THIS POTENTIAL, RIGHT? HE... |
| 03:06:51 |
|
I NEED TO REFRESH YOUR MEMORY BECAUSE IT WAS -- HIS ACADEMIC CAREER WAS PROBABLY FORGETTABLE. HE DID... |
| 03:08:08 |
|
TOLD ME AS A STUDENT, EVEN IN LAW SCHOOL, ROD, YOU KNOW, HE DID WELL IN THE SUBJECTS HE LIKED. ANYTHING... |
| 03:08:42 |
|
PEPPERDINE IS A FAMOUSLY CONSERVATIVE PLACE. AND HE IS ALSO KNOWN I BELIEVE YOU WROTE ABOUT THIS IN... |
| 03:08:52 |
|
ONCE. |
| 03:08:54 |
|
HE WAS -- HE WAS SORT OF A YOUNG REPUBLICAN AT THAT POINT, RIGHT? |
| 03:08:58 |
|
WELL, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HIS REAL HERO WAS RICHARD NIXON AND THIS IS PRIMARILY BECAUSE HIS... |
| 03:11:07 |
|
ONE OF HIS FIRST JOBS -- FIRST POLITICAL JOBS WAS WORKING WITH EDWARD VADOLIC WHO WAS A DEMOCRAT.... |
| 03:11:25 |
|
CORRECT. |
| 03:11:26 |
|
TO WHAT EXTENT -- AND THIS GETS TO A LARGER QUESTION I HAVE ABOUT BLAGOJEVICH, HOW MUCH OF HIS POLITICAL... |
| 03:11:37 |
|
WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S KIND OF HARD TO FIGURE OUT. I MEAN, I THINK HIS POLITICAL -- HIS PUBLIC POLITICAL... |
| 03:12:35 |
|
ONE OF MY EARLIEST, STRONG IMPRESSIONS OF BLAGOJEVICH -- HE HAPPENS TO BE -- HE WAS MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE... |
| 03:13:31 |
|
I THINK THAT'S A GOOD ANALYSIS. I THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD ANALYSIS. YOU KNOW, ANOTHER SURPRISING VOTE... |
| 03:13:46 |
|
SO YOU HAVE THIS MAN -- AND IF I CAN REWIND A LITTLE BIT TO PATTI MEL -- OR PATTI BLAGOJEVICH, WHAT... |
| 03:14:02 |
|
THE WHOLE STORY OF PATTI MEL, DICK MEL AND ROD BLAGOJEVICH IS REALLY -- HAS SHAKESPEAREAN TRAGIC OVERTONES.... |
| 03:14:12 |
|
IT DOES. I MEAN, PATTI -- DICK MEL WAS A VERY STRONG FAMILY MAN. HE HAS THREE CHILDREN AND A LOVELY... |
| 03:15:22 |
|
EXCUSE ME, COULD YOU TELL THAT STORY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T REMEMBER IT EXACTLY THAT. WHERE THE SCHISM... |
| 03:15:33 |
|
IT WAS OVER THE LANDFILL BUT IT REALLY BEGAN EVEN EARLIER THAN THAT. DICK MEL WAS CRITICAL TO ROD ... |
| 03:17:51 |
|
AND THE MEETING WAS WITH KELLY AND NOT BLAGOJEVICH, RIGHT? |
| 03:17:54 |
|
RIGHT, RIGHT. |
| 03:17:56 |
|
WHAT MAKES THAT SO INTERESTING IS SUDDENLY BLAGOJEVICH IS NOT DEIGNING WITH DICK MEL, INSTEAD, HE'S... |
| 03:18:22 |
|
EXACTLY. AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID ABOUT THE INCIDENT ON THE STATIONARY. DICK MEL, YOU KNOW,... |
| 03:20:19 |
|
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY ROD BLAGOJEVICH HAD DREAMS OF BECOMING THE PRESIDENT AND WHY THEY... |
| 03:21:02 |
|
THAT'S THE PROBLEM. |
| 03:21:05 |
|
YEAH, EXACTLY. BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT -- I MEAN, HE IS -- HE'S NOT JUST A CARTOON MOPE. THERE'S A... |
| 03:21:16 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. WHEN HE WON FOR GOVERNORSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2002 AND HE THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING FOR... |
| 03:22:21 |
|
IT WASN'T THAT UNREALISTIC. |
| 03:22:24 |
|
NO, IT REALLY WASN'T. IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THE FIRST INAUGURATION -- FIRST INAUGURAL SPEECH THAT ROD... |
| 03:22:58 |
|
ABSOLUTELY, YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER IT WAS 25 YEARS SINCE DEMOCRATS HELD THE OFFICE -- THEY CONTROLLED... |
| 03:23:28 |
|
SO PUT ON YOUR PSYCHOLOGIST HAT AND YOUR POLITICAL ANALYST HAT AND TELL ME WHAT WENT WRONG. |
| 03:23:32 |
|
I'M NOT SURE THEY'RE THE SAME THING. [LAUGHTER] |
| 03:23:34 |
|
PUT ONE ON AND THEN PUT THE |
| 03:23:36 |
|
OKAY. |
| 03:23:38 |
|
WHAT WENT WRONG? WHAT WAS HIS TRAGIC FLAW IF HE HAD ONE OR WHAT WERE HIS TRAGIC MISTAKES? |
| 03:23:44 |
|
I THINK YOU AGAIN HAVE TO UNDERSTAND -- TO UNDERSTAND HIM YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW BADLY HE WANTED... |
| 03:25:44 |
|
WHAT'S THE MODEL FOR THAT? YOU HAVE TO SELL YOURSELF TO A NATIONALIZE AND YOU CAN'T AS GOVERNOR OF... |
| 03:25:54 |
|
HE WAS DOING A PRETTY GOOD JOB. |
| 03:25:56 |
|
RIGHT. BUT YOU CAN EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO WIN REELECTION, WHICH HE DID, AGAINST A BATTERED REPUBLICAN... |
| 03:26:10 |
|
WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WAS BUILD THIS NATIONAL FUNDRAISING OPERATION. AND, FOR INSTANCE, WHEN HE TALKED... |
| 03:27:55 |
|
I CAN SEE THE STRATEGY OF SAYING, OKAY, I WANT TO -- TO CREATE AN IMAGE OF THE CAN-DO GOVERNOR, THE... |
| 03:28:04 |
|
RIGHT. |
| 03:28:06 |
|
AND SO YOU CAN GO -- BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS IN A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN. SOMEONE WHO'S A GOVERNOR... |
| 03:29:00 |
|
WELL, I THINK THAT WAS -- I THINK IT WAS BOTH HIS OWN CHARACTER AND THE WAY -- HE ALWAYS ENVISIONED... |
| 03:31:05 |
|
THERE WERE SEVERAL, HE HAD A LOYAL STAFF WHICH AGAIN WAS SORT OF PUZZLING BECAUSE HE NEVER PAID ANY... |
| 03:33:09 |
|
THAT IS A PRETTY SERIOUS THING TO TALK ABOUT TO DISCUSS WHETHER SOMEONE IS MENTALLY ILL AND THE GOVERNOR... |
| 03:33:28 |
|
ADEL THINK HE IS A VENAL POLITICIAN, HE IS A VERY LIKABLE GUY IF YOU CAN GET IT OUT OF THIS HOUSE.... |
| 03:34:43 |
|
HE IS ALLEGEDLY OR SUPPOSEDLY WRITING HIS OWN BIOGRAPHY OR AUTOBIOGRAPHY RIGHT NOW. ARE YOU LOOKING... |
| 03:34:59 |
|
YES, I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING IT. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE, I KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO WRITE A BOOK... |
| 03:35:29 |
|
A QUESTION FROM THE AUDIENCE. |
| 03:35:31 |
|
FIRST OF ALL, IT WAS GREAT TO LISTEN TO YOU, BUT I WAS WONDERING I AGREE WITH THE OBSERVATION OF HIM... |
| 03:36:00 |
|
I DO HAVE A CHAPTER IN MY BOOK DEVOTED TO THE HISTORY OF ILLINOIS POLITICAL CORRUPTION. CAN I JUST... |
| 03:36:09 |
|
IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT LONGER. THERE IS NO DOUBT WE LIVE IN A STATE THAT HAS A STRONG SORDID HISTORY... |
| 03:37:11 |
|
THE QUESTION WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE ANSWER TO THIS AND THE PREVIOUS QUESTION IS WHETHER BLAGOJEVICH... |
| 03:37:33 |
|
SOME OF THAT BUT ONLY A LITTLE TASTE OF WHAT MY,. |
| 03:37:37 |
|
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE BUCK. |
| 03:37:40 |
|
THE QUESTION IS WILL HE DO THAT BUT IS HE GOING TO PUT THIS INTO, THAT SEEMS TO BE HIS VERSION. EVERYONE... |
| 03:38:01 |
|
ABSOLUTELY AND I THOUGHT HE WAS MUCH TOO HARSH. I THOUGHT THE SPEECH BEFORE THE SENATE WHEN IT THERE... |
| 03:39:07 |
|
HIS ARGUMENT IS THAT HE HAD TO RAISE ALL THIS MONEY BECAUSE HE HAD TO GO AROUND THIS ENTRENCHED POWER... |
| 03:39:19 |
|
AND THERE IS SOME TRUTH TO THAT. MICHAEL MADIGAN DID NOT WANT TO HAVE A ROD BLAGOJEVICH PASS IN A... |
| 03:39:47 |
|
BUT HE DID HAVE AN ALLIANCE WITH FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT JONES WHICH ACTUALLY MADE IT COMPLETE PARALYTIC... |
| 03:40:24 |
|
CONFRONTATION. |
| 03:40:27 |
|
ABOUT THE ETHICS OF THE LANDFILL. SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN STOPPED ON ITS MERITS? OR WAS IT STOPPED WHEN... |
| 03:40:37 |
|
AS A GOOD QUESTION. I THINK THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LANDFILL, BUT IN THE END AFTER THE... |
| 03:40:56 |
|
IT SEEMS TO ME THE QUESTION AND THAT WAS NOT SO MUCH AND THE SAME THING IS TRUE WITH A LOT OF THE... |
| 03:41:15 |
|
YES HE WAS RICH AND LEADERS TO LEAVE THE HOUSE AND GO TO WORK. HIS PRESS SECRETARY TOLD ME THIS AMAZING... |
| 03:41:55 |
|
IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE? [LAUGHTER] |
| 03:41:59 |
|
I WONDER HOW MUCH OF WHAT HAS GONE ON HAS TO DO WITH HOW MUCH WE WOULD LIKE TO BELIEVE OR THE POLITICIANS... |
| 03:42:22 |
|
YOU KNOW, IF WE KNEW IT AND THE VOTERS KNEW, THEY ELECTED HIM AGAIN, SO APPARENTLY WE DID NOT HEAR... |
| 03:42:56 |
|
WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE QUESTION. |
| 03:43:00 |
|
THE WAY I SEE IT AS A PERSON WHO HAS LIVED IN CHICAGO SINCE 1974 AS A MEMBER OF THE MEDIA HERE BASICALLY... |
| 03:43:32 |
|
I'M NOT QUITE SURE THAT IS OUR JOB AS A MEMBER OF THE MEDIA. [LAUGHTER] WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS... |
| 03:44:19 |
|
UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE GIVEN THE GOVERNOR ANOTHER HOUR OF AIR TIME. [LAUGHTER] JUST WHAT HE WANTS ON... |
| 03:44:44 |

IF I COULD EXTEND THIS DISCUSSION FORWARD IN TIME -- SO THIS IS HER IMAGE IN THE 19th CENTURY. I'M... |
| 04:30:01 |

I THINK IT DOES CHALLENGE THAT IMAGE, THE CONTEMPORARY IMAGE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT AMERICA... |

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME READING THIS BOOK IS THAT IT DOESN'T PUT HOWARD ON A PEDASTIL. HE... |
| 04:36:10 |
|
I THINK THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WE HAVE EVIDENCE IN THE BOOK THAT CERTAIN PEOPLE STEPPED AWAY ... |
| 04:37:07 |

AND HE HAD SOME -- THE QUESTION HOW IS IT THAT WE DIDN'T SHY AWAY FROM SOME OF THOSE NEGATIVE ASPECTS,... |

| 04:58:10 |
|
YOU HAVE NO IDEA -- [INAUDIBLE] [INAUDIBLE] |
| 04:58:26 |
|
THEY ARE DOING SEVEN OF THESE EVENTS AND KEEP WATCHING C-SPAN BOOKS AND YOU'LL -- |
| 04:58:31 |
|
EVENTUALLY. |
| 04:58:32 |
|
IT'S LIVE NOW? [LAUGHTER] |
| 04:58:35 |
|
WE'RE LIVE NOW? [LAUGHTER] |
| 04:58:40 |
|
HURRY HOME, EVERYBODY. HURRY HOME. [LAUGHTER] |
| 04:58:43 |
|
WE DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE HERE. GO WATCH IT AT HOME. SO THAT'S EVEN WORSE. NOW SERIOUSLY BEHAVE YOURSELVES.... |
| 04:58:54 |
|
YOU SHOULD HAVE BLACKED IT OUT. |
| 04:58:56 |
|
I'LL HAVE THESE TWO FINE MEN HOLD UP THEIR BOOKS LIKE THEY DO ON LETTERMAN. |
| 04:59:03 |
|
ARE YOU DOING THE OPENING MONOLOGUE. |
| 04:59:06 |
|
I MIGHT, YEAH. I'M MORE LIKE ED MCMAHON. |
| 04:59:15 |
|
WELCOME TO THE 25th ANNUAL 2009 "CHICAGO TRIBUNE" PRINTERS ROW LIST. WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A THANKS... |
| 05:00:02 |
|
HI THERE. [APPLAUSE] |
| 05:00:04 |
|
LOOK AT THESE CLAPPING TRYING TO CURRY FAVOR WITH ME. JEFF, I WANT TO START WITH YOU. IN THAT YOU... |
| 05:00:16 |
|
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S SAFE TO SAY. I'M A REPORTER FOR THE TRIBUNE AND I COVERED THIS TRIAL IN 2007.... |
| 05:02:36 |
|
INTERVIEWING AND GETTING THE STORY SO VASTLY DIFFERENT WRITING THE BOOK BEFORE YOUR OTHER BOOK MOST... |
| 05:03:06 |
|
IT WAS VERY DAUNTING, EXCEPT THE RIGHT. THE NEWSPAPER EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TRIAL THERE WAS SO MUCH... |
| 05:03:52 |
|
BUT NARRATIVE NONFICTION WRITING I THINK IS AN UNDERRATED CRAFT. I THINK IT IS A VERY DIFFICULT CRAFT... |
| 05:04:33 |
|
FOR ME ESPECIALLY I WAS SENT THERE BY THE PAPER. [LAUGHTER] IT WAS -- WIFE FELT AS A WRITER THERE... |
| 05:05:40 |
|
JASON, FOR YOU IN MY HISTORY IN CHICAGO INSTEAD OF LOOKING FOR BOOKS TO WRITE I ALWAYS ROUNDUP TO... |
| 05:06:06 |
|
BECAUSE HE WAS GOOD AT WHAT HE DID, HE KEPT QUIET MANY YEARS. THE CRIMES HE WAS COMMITTING. I THINK... |
| 05:06:18 |
|
BUT EVEN AFTER THE FACT OF ALL OF THAT STUFF WHY ISN'T THIS KIND OF CHARACTER AND HE'S A VERY CAREFUL... |
| 05:06:40 |
|
HE'S FAMOUS IN BRIDGEPORT. |
| 05:06:41 |
|
AND THEY DON'T TALK TO EACH OTHER. |
| 05:06:44 |
|
YEAH, YOU KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. |
| 05:06:46 |
|
IN DOING THIS TO DO BELIEVE HIM IMMEDIATELY? THERE IS A CON MAN WHO ANYBODY WOULD SEEMINGLY GET INTO... |
| 05:07:04 |
|
HE'S A VERY CHARMING GUY, A GREAT STORYTELLER AND I DEFINITELY HAD MY DEFENSES UP WHEN I FIRST MET... |
| 05:07:48 |
|
ONE OF THE ELEMENTS THAT TIES THESE TOGETHER IS THE NOTION CORRUPT AS IT SOMETIMES MAY BE IS A FAMILY.... |
| 05:08:09 |
|
SORT OF A DISTURBED MOB. |
| 05:08:11 |
|
NONE OF THEM LOOK VERY HAPPY, THAT'S A MOTHER TELLING THING ABOUT THIS FAMILY, BUT IT IS -- THE REASON... |
| 05:08:21 |
|
THERE'S A RIFT IN THE CALABRESI FAMILY, WHICH IS THEY WERE PART OF THE 26 STREET CREW HERE IN CHICAGO... |
| 05:09:36 |
|
WHEN YOU SERVE A LIFETIME YOU MEAN SOMETHING QUITE SPECIFIC DON'T YOU? I'M DEAD SERIOUS, THAT THIS... |
| 05:09:44 |
|
ABSOLUTE BECOME THE FIRST TO TESTIFY AGAINST THE ORGANIZATION BUT THE TRIAL WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE... |
| 05:10:09 |
|
WHEN YOU THINK OF THE HISTORY, THE COLORFUL HISTORY OF THIS ORGANIZATION, CHICAGO IS JUST BEYOND STUNNING.... |
| 05:10:20 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. WHEN I WAS MEDELLIN THE WRITING OF THIS BOOK WHEN THE FAMILY SECRETS CASE BROKE AND LAUFMAN,... |
| 05:10:33 |
|
WE HAVE WE OVERLAPS. |
| 05:10:36 |
|
WE WERE TALKING EARLIER. |
| 05:10:38 |
|
THEY DIDN'T PLAN THIS APPARENTLY, BUT THE SECRET SERVICE IN CHICAGO WAS BENT OUT OF SHAPE OVER MR.... |
| 05:11:01 |
|
BUT YOU GUYS WERE IN THE SAME COURTROOM. |
| 05:11:03 |
|
I WASN'T HERE BUT HE WROTE A LETTER TO THE JUDGE. |
| 05:11:12 |
|
TALK BECAUSE THIS CHARACTER IS LITTLE KNOWN COMPARED WITH SOMEONE LIKE JOLIE THE CLOWN IN CHICAGO... |
| 05:11:32 |
|
THAT WAS MORE FASCINATING TO ME THAN COUNTERFEITING ASPECT. THE COUNTERFEITING ASPECT AND DREW ME... |
| 05:12:00 |
|
HAVEN'T WE ALL. WHO IN CHICAGO ISN'T TOUCHED BY THIS? [LAUGHTER] AND HIS DAD WAS IN AND OUT OF PRISON... |
| 05:13:35 |
|
EVEN THOUGH IT WAS HIS STEPFATHER THAT TAUGHT HIM THE ART OF -- THAT IS ONE OF THE STUNNING THINGS... |
| 05:13:56 |
|
HE WASN'T A STEPFATHER, IT WAS HIS MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND TO BE CLEARED AND HE SALLES OR WAS STEALING... |
| 05:14:28 |
|
THAT WOULD BE SO INTERESTING BECAUSE IT LITERALLY WASN'T ABOUT THE MONEY, HE WAS A CRAFTSMAN AND ARTIST... |
| 05:14:39 |
|
HAVING GROWN UP IN AN IMPOVERISHED BACKGROUND I THINK ONCE HE HAD A TOOL TO MAKE MONEY, THE SKILLS,... |
| 05:14:59 |
|
IN A RELATIVELY LAVISH WAY. [LAUGHTER] NO FOOL IF YOU GOT THAT SKILL, LINSCOTT SKILL. THIS NEIGHBORHOOD... |
| 05:15:13 |
|
WE WERE TALKING EARLIER. THIS SPOT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE PLACE ON THE PLANET FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT... |
| 05:16:16 |
|
IT WAS A COMPLETELY STORE-BOUGHT OPERATION THOUGH, RIGHT? ANYBODY CAN BUY ALL FEES' TOOLS? |
| 05:16:22 |
|
SURE, ESPECIALLY IN CHICAGO THERE'S A LOT OF PRESS IS OUT THERE ON FORTUNATELY ESPECIALLY NOW. |
| 05:16:29 |
|
MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN YOUR BOOK, JEFF, FAMILY SECRETS, ARNOLD THIS ARTISTIC OR@@@@ueP0N,N,NrtSN2N ... |
| 05:17:49 |
|
BEING IN A COURTROOM AND SEEING AND IN THE TRIALS ARE NOTHING LIKE THEY ARE ON, YOU KNOW, LAW AND... |
| 05:18:22 |
|
THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF CURIOSITY ABOUT THAT WHERE YOU WOULD IT JUST KIND OF LOOK AT THE GUY LIKE... |
| 05:19:32 |
|
AND JASON, TOO, YOU ARE DEALING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS A CRIMINAL. |
| 05:19:38 |
|
A CHARMING, BUT A CRIMINAL NONETHELESS. DO YOU -- |
| 05:19:44 |
|
I SPENT A LIFETIME WITH ART AND SO MUCH TIME I DIDN'T REALLY SEE THE CRIMINAL RIGHT AWAY, I JUST SAW... |
| 05:20:41 |
|
YOU THINK OF THE GREAT IMPOSTER WHO DID THIS STUFF. |
| 05:20:46 |
|
FRANK, JR. ISLAMIC BEING A COUNTERFEITER SEEMS LIKE THE PLAYFUL END OF THE SPECTRUM, BUT I STILL --... |
| 05:20:58 |
|
DAD. |
| 05:21:00 |
|
YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE DOING IT. DID YOU HAVE AN ELEMENT OF NOT TRUSTING HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU PARTS... |
| 05:21:10 |
|
ALMOST EVERYTHING I WOULD CHECK OUT AND THE FUNNY THING ABOUT IT WAS OR WHAT TELL ME A STORY AND I... |
| 05:21:43 |
|
WHY DID HE DO THAT? WHAT IS IN IT FOR HIM? |
| 05:21:47 |
|
I WAS TALKING WITH SOMEONE ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY, I THINK HE WANTED TO QUIT BY CONFIDING IN THE JOURNALIST... |
| 05:21:58 |
|
STOP ME BEFORE I KILL AGAIN -- |
| 05:22:00 |
|
IT'S CRIMINAL SOCIETAL TO TALK TO A JOURNALIST AND THAT PROVED TRUE IN HIS CASE BECAUSE HE WENT BACK... |
| 05:22:13 |
|
THEY WERE NOT PLEASED WITH THE GUY. THE CALL I GOT WAS SCREW THIS GUY AT ROLLING STONE, D WANT TO... |
| 05:22:24 |
|
WHAT DID THEY WANT YOU TO DO, JEFF? |
| 05:22:27 |
|
THEY WANTED TO SHOW THAT THEY HAD READ ALOUD THE, QUOTE, KING OF COUNTERFEITING. THEY WERE INTERESTED... |
| 05:22:39 |
|
IT'S INTERESTING YOU TALK TO HIM 12-YEARS-OLD BEING MAYBE NOT CONFRONTED WITH THE PATH THAT DRAWN... |
| 05:23:04 |
|
I THINK FOR THE CALABRESE FAMILY THERE PROBABLY WAS TO PLACE. THAT WASN'T A CRIME FAMILY. THEIR FATHER... |
| 05:24:07 |
|
WHAT IS THE STATE OF COUNTERFEITING IF YOU KNOW AND YOU MUST BE ABLE TO MAKE A GOOD GUESS. MY THEORY... |
| 05:24:31 |
|
ABSOLUTELY IT IS A DAUNTING ART AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS I WANTED TO DO THE BOOK IS TO CAPTURE... |
| 05:24:58 |
|
LIKE XEROX. |
| 05:25:00 |
|
THEY SPEND A LOT OF TIME CHASING TEENAGERS, THE MOST ELITE AGENTS IN AMERICA. IS YOUR SON HOME? |
| 05:25:10 |
|
THERE'S TECHNOLOGY ON THAT END, TOO, BUT LEAD TO THAT CRAZY -- |
| 05:25:14 |
|
I REMEMBER WHEN TO THE SECRET SERVICE TO SORT OF LEARN MORE ABOUT IT AND SEEING SOME OF THE BAD ONES,... |
| 05:25:35 |
|
OR YOUR HE ROSE OR SOMETHING. SO, THESE CRONY THINGS, BUT IT IS GOING TO FADE OUT WHERE THERE IS LIKE... |
| 05:25:47 |
|
I THINK IF THE KNOWLEDGE ISN'T PASSED ON THERE'S CERTAINLY THE CHANCE WE WON'T SEE ANY MORE. THERE'S... |
| 05:26:52 |
|
LIKE START LICKING HIS LIPS. JEFF, YOUR BOOK, FAMILY SECRETS, AND HOLD IT UP AGAIN I WANT THESE PEOPLE... |
| 05:27:23 |
|
I DON'T SEE THAT ECKERT -- IT'S NEVER GOING TO FADE COMPLETELY AWAY, NO WAY. IT IS TOO INGRAINED.... |
| 05:28:59 |
|
BEFORE WE OPEN FOR A QUESTION I'M ASSUMING WE HAVE MANY QUESTIONS HERE. WHAT IS IT ABOUT AND I WILL... |
| 05:29:49 |
|
IT'S PART OF THE CHICAGO CULTURE AND EVERYBODY ACCEPTS THAT IS PART OF PLUG MAKES THE CITY WORK. I... |
| 05:30:16 |
|
OF THE AMERICANS ARE FASCINATED BY CRIME IN GENERAL. I THINK IT'S ALMOST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF A SHAKESPEAREAN... |
| 05:30:50 |
|
AND ALSO TELL ME IF I'M WRONG ABOUT THIS, CERTAINLY THE PROVERBIAL OUTFIT AS WE KNOW AND THE GUY LIKE... |
| 05:31:33 |
|
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT BEFORE IN A CITY LIKE CHICAGO THE OUTFIT PROBABLY HAS 1,000 OR MAYBE 1200 MURDERERS... |
| 05:32:11 |
|
WE WOULD LOVE TO OPEN THIS UP FOR QUESTIONS. PLEASE GO TO THE MICROPHONE AND BE ON TELEVISION. AGAIN... |
| 05:32:31 |
|
TESTING, TESTING, IS THIS -- |
| 05:32:32 |
|
THESE C-SPAN PEOPLE DON'T SCREW OF AROUND, OF COURSE IT'S WORKING. [LAUGHTER] |
| 05:32:40 |
|
THIS IS FOR MR. COEN, AND AS AN ASIDE BEFORE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS TESTIFIED ACTUALLY LIVED NEXT TO... |
| 05:32:48 |
|
IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? |
| 05:32:52 |
|
HE WAS THE NICEST GUY. HE BABYSAT MY CHILDREN. |
| 05:32:55 |
|
WHAT PAGE ARE YOU ON? [LAUGHTER] |
| 05:33:01 |
|
THIS MAY BE THE EARLY NINETIES, RIGHT? GIVE DOLLAR BILLS TO ALL THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS AND EVERYTHING... |
| 05:33:07 |
|
HE NEVER LEFT, EVERYBODY KNEW WHO HE WAS. |
| 05:33:12 |
|
A LOT OF THE GUICE MOVE TO THE SUBURBS, HE SAID THE RESTAURANTS, COACHED BASEBALL. |
| 05:33:17 |
|
IT'S JUST KIND OF FUNNY AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE PERSONALLY PULLED THE TRIGGER BUT I ALWAYS KIND OF... |
| 05:33:45 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF SOME OF THESE GUYS WOULD BE SERIAL KILLERS, SOME OF THEM WOULD MAKE VERY GREAT BUSINESSMAN.... |
| 05:33:52 |
|
IT'S ALL BUSINESS, YOU KNOW, KILL SOMEONE BUSINESS BUT ONCE YOU RACK UP THE NUMBERS AND SOME OF THESE... |
| 05:34:07 |
|
I THINK LIKE ANY ORGANIZATION OF ANY SIZE THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN IT... |
| 05:34:33 |
|
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, SOME YEARS AGO WITH MY COLLEAGUE MAURY POS LEE WE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT THE... |
| 05:35:32 |
|
A GUY LIKE NICK, THAT IS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET TO EARLIER, YOU EXPECT A HIT MAN IS GOING TO BE... |
| 05:35:56 |
|
SOME OF THESE MOST INTERESTING WHAT YOU CALL IT PROLIFIC SERIAL KILLERS IF YOU TOOK AWAY THE MOB IN... |
| 05:36:13 |
|
MOST SERIAL KILLERS IT IS SOME SICK SEXUAL BUT NEVER WEAR FOR THESE GUYS IS LITERALLY YOU ARE IN THE... |
| 05:36:23 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] -- THEY ARE PSYCHOPATHS AND THE COUNTERFEITING BUSINESS AND NEWSPAPER BUSINESS. |
| 05:36:29 |
|
SOME OF THESE GUYS MADE SURE OF THE MURDERS WERE NASTY AND GRUESOME, BUT SOME OF THEM WANTED TO SEND... |
| 05:36:48 |
|
IF I COULD ASK IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR INFLUENCE THAT YOU HAVE, CRIME WRITERS COME ANY CLASSICS OR... |
| 05:37:03 |
|
YOU KNOW, MY OWN INFLUENCES GROWING UP I NEVER READ THAT MUCH FICTION. I READ BIOGRAPHIES AND HISTORY... |
| 05:37:28 |
|
THE BEST JOURNALISM READS LIKE FICTION SO I WONDERED IF YOU HAD ANY -- |
| 05:37:36 |
|
I WILL SPEAK FOR JEFF AND SAY THAT -- [INAUDIBLE] |
| 05:37:42 |
|
WHEN I WAS A KID I PROBABLY READ TOLKEN. |
| 05:37:48 |
|
YOU WANT TO GET BACK TO THAT MIC |
| 05:37:54 |
|
I DON'T KNOW IF I AM CORRECT IN MY THINKING OR MY THINKING ABOUT EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM, BUT I KNOW... |
| 05:38:39 |
|
ART IS A GOOD EXTENT OF THE MENTALITY. IN HIS CASE, SHE FIRST GOT INTO CRIME AS A WAY TO GET MONEY... |
| 05:40:30 |
|
A THINK SOME OF THE GUYS AND JEFF'S BOUCK AND MOG GUICE AND TRADITIONALLY, THE HAVE TRADITIONS OF... |
| 05:40:43 |
|
THERE WAS AN ODD EXAMPLE OF GUILT AND CONSCIOUSNESS WHATEVER KIND. I REMEMBER ONE EPISODE IN PARTICULAR... |
| 05:42:30 |
|
GO AHEAD. WE WILL TAKE A COUPLE I THINK. |
| 05:42:35 |
|
RELATED TO THE FIRST QUESTION THIS GENTLEMAN PREVIOUS QUESTION YOU TALKED ABOUT THE CRIMINAL MIND... |
