RE-ELECTION.  WHAT IS SHE  

00:36.633 --> 00:40.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
OPERATING IN?  

00:37.133 --> 00:47.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> SHE SAID SHE HAS DONE WHAT  

00:38.466 --> 00:49.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SHE SET OUT TO DO. SHE RAN IN  

00:40.166 --> 00:50.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
2016 ON A PROMISE TO REMAKE

THE COOK COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM  

00:49.100 --> 00:52.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND MAKE IT MORE MODERN AND TO  

00:50.333 --> 00:53.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ADDRESS WHAT SHE SAID WAS A  

00:51.633 --> 00:55.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
BACKLOG OF WRONGFUL

CONVICTIONS, AND SHE HAS DONE  

00:53.633 --> 00:59.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT. SHE SAYS THERE IS NO NEED 

00:55.033 --> 01:01.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
FOR A THIRD TERM. WHAT SHE  

00:56.266 --> 01:02.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DIDN'T SAY, BY THE WAY, IS THAT 

00:59.733 --> 01:03.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
SHE HAS COME UNDER SO MUCH  

01:01.000 --> 01:06.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
PRESSURE AND SCRUTINY. SO I  

01:02.200 --> 01:07.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THINK SOMETIMES PEOPLE FORGET  

01:03.100 --> 01:09.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE HUMAN SIDE OF THINGS, AND  

01:06.633 --> 01:11.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THAT IS THAT IT SURELY TOOK A 

01:07.966 --> 01:17.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
TOLL TO CONSTANTLY BE THE  

01:09.500 --> 01:18.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PERSON WHO IS IN THE HEADLINES, 

01:11.666 --> 01:19.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
OFTEN IN A NEGATIVE FASHION,  

01:17.333 --> 01:20.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND FURTHER THAT SHE COULD HAVE 

01:18.566 --> 01:22.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
HAD A TOUGH BATTLE THIS TIME.  

01:19.700 --> 01:28.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT LAST TIME  

01:20.900 --> 01:30.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND SHE SUCCEEDED. STILL, THERE 

01:22.000 --> 01:31.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
IS ALWAYS THAT CHANCE.   

01:28.500 --> 01:31.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> THAT IS GOING TO COME ALONG 

01:30.033 --> 01:32.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
WITH ANY OTHER ELECTED  

01:31.066 --> 01:34.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OFFICIAL, CERTAINLY IN CHICAGO  

01:31.833 --> 01:34.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

SPEECH YESTERDAY , KIM FOX  

01:34.100 --> 01:39.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
DEFENDED HER RECORD.  

01:34.700 --> 01:41.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> I REFUSE THE SUPPOSITION  

01:36.900 --> 01:43.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THAT WHERE WE SEE OURSELVES  

01:39.400 --> 01:45.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TODAY WITH THE RISE IN VIOLENT 

01:41.033 --> 01:57.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CRIME THAT COINCIDES WITH THIS  

01:43.566 --> 01:58.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PANDEMIC IS

SOMEHOW THE RESULT  OF COOK  

01:57.566 --> 02:00.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
COUNTY. IT JUST DOESN'T ADD UP. 

01:58.966 --> 02:04.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> HOW DO YOU THINK SHE WILL BE 

02:00.200 --> 02:05.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
REMEMBERED?  

02:00.633 --> 02:06.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> SHE WILL CERTAINLY BE  

02:04.533 --> 02:07.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
CELEBRATED  BY THOSE WHO  

02:05.700 --> 02:08.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
APPLAUD HER FOR, AS HEATHER  

02:06.600 --> 02:10.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
DESCRIBED IT, REALLY REMAKING  

02:07.633 --> 02:11.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN  

02:08.533 --> 02:13.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
COOK COUNTY . SHE IS REALLY A  

02:10.566 --> 02:16.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
HERO WHO ACCOMPLISHED WHAT SHE 

02:11.600 --> 02:17.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SAID SHE WAS GOING TO DO AND  

02:13.033 --> 02:21.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
STUCK BY IT. TO OTHERS THOUGH,  

02:16.200 --> 02:24.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
YES, SHE IS VERY MUCH AT FAULT  

02:17.566 --> 02:28.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FOR BEING TWO LACKS ON CRIME,  

02:21.033 --> 02:29.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
BE IT SHOPLIFTING OR GUN CRIMES 

02:24.833 --> 02:40.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT DON'T INVOLVE MURDER. THEY 

02:28.066 --> 02:41.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SAY THAT HAS BEEN RESPONSIBLE  

02:29.166 --> 02:42.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FOR AN UPSWING  DURING COVID  

02:40.000 --> 02:43.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND THAT YES, HER APPROACH HAS  

02:41.400 --> 02:47.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LED TO AN INCREASE IN CRIME IN  

02:42.766 --> 02:48.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
CHICAGO.  

02:43.166 --> 02:49.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
>> SWITCHING OVER TO   

02:47.666 --> 02:50.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ENTRENCHED LEGAL BATTLES FOR A  

02:48.700 --> 02:52.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CONSULTANT THAT THEY HIRED FOR  

02:49.866 --> 02:53.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
A WHOPPING $700,000, WHAT DOES  

02:50.833 --> 02:58.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
THAT LOOK LIKE?  

02:52.200 --> 03:01.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> PAUL VALLAS SAYS THAT HIS  

02:53.433 --> 03:06.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
CAMPAIGN WAS ESSENTIALLY  

02:58.600 --> 03:08.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DEFRAUDED. THEY SIGNED A  

03:01.833 --> 03:15.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
CONTRACT TO TAKEDOWN DEFACED  

03:06.566 --> 03:17.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LAWN SIGNS, AND FOR THAT HE WAS 

03:08.166 --> 03:18.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
PAID A TOTAL OF $680,000. SO 

03:15.933 --> 03:19.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
VALLAS  IS SUING TO RECOVER  

03:17.733 --> 03:26.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
THAT MONEY, SAYING THAT  

03:18.400 --> 03:27.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ESSENTIALLY HE DIDN'T PERFORM  

03:19.133 --> 03:28.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ANYTHING FOR THAT MONEY.  THE  

03:26.266 --> 03:30.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OPPOSITION SAYS THAT IT IS 100% 

03:27.533 --> 03:31.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
NOT TRUE AND THAT HE CONTRACTED 

03:28.900 --> 03:32.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
FOR THAT SERVICE, PERFORM THAT  

03:30.000 --> 03:34.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SERVICE AND WAS PAID FOR THAT  

03:31.166 --> 03:37.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SERVICE. SO NOW IT IS GOING TO  

03:32.600 --> 03:38.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BE IN THE HANDS OF A JUDGE TO 

03:34.200 --> 03:39.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
STRAIGHTEN THIS OUT. NOW VALLAS 

03:37.633 --> 03:40.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HIS  

03:38.366 --> 03:44.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CAMPAIGN HAS WRITTEN CHECKS TO  

03:39.300 --> 03:45.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
OTHER CONTRACTORS THAT ARE  

03:40.966 --> 03:46.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BOUNCING BECAUSE THEY DID NOT  

03:44.233 --> 03:48.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ANTICIPATE THESE FUNDS BEING 

03:45.033 --> 03:51.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
WITHDRAWN FROM HIS ELECTION  

03:46.600 --> 03:54.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ACCOUNT, WHICH HAS LEFT A LOT  

03:48.033 --> 04:00.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF PEOPLE VERY UPSET. SOMEBODY  

03:51.666 --> 04:01.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WHO DID GET PAID BACK, THOUGH?  

03:54.233 --> 04:02.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PAUL VALLAS LOANED HIS CAMPAIGN 

04:00.066 --> 04:04.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
$100,000  BELOW THE CAP. HE  

04:01.333 --> 04:09.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PAID THAT LOAN BACK TO HIMSELF  

04:02.600 --> 04:11.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ON MARCH 20th, JUST A FEW WEEKS 

04:04.000 --> 04:12.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
AFTER MAKING IT.  

04:09.466 --> 04:13.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> OKAY.  I AM SURE WE WILL BE  

04:11.533 --> 04:14.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
TALKING ABOUT THAT MORE. BUT  

04:12.600 --> 04:15.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
$700,000? IS THAT A TYPICAL  

04:13.633 --> 04:21.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
AMOUNT?  

04:14.000 --> 04:22.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> NOT FOR THIS TYPE OF WORK.  

04:15.300 --> 04:25.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IF YOU LOOK AT, FOR EXAMPLE,  

04:21.366 --> 04:25.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE REPUBLICAN SIDE, THERE HAS  

04:22.400 --> 04:30.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BEEN A LOT OF SCRUTINY OFF OF  

04:25.100 --> 04:31.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RUNNING ELECTIONS THAT WERE  

04:25.866 --> 04:32.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
VERY UNSUCCESSFUL. SO TO SAY  

04:30.566 --> 04:34.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
THAT IT IS COMPLETELY  

04:31.300 --> 04:36.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
UNCERTAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE 

04:32.566 --> 04:37.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
A LOT OF MONEY OFF OF THINGS!  

04:34.966 --> 04:39.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHEN THEY COULD MAKE $700,000  

04:36.100 --> 04:46.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE CAMPAIGN  

04:37.866 --> 04:47.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MANAGER, WHEN THEY WERE JUST  

04:39.033 --> 04:48.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING DOWN YARD 

04:46.866 --> 04:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
SIGNS, NO. THAT IS  

04:47.966 --> 04:53.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
ASTRONOMICAL. 

04:48.400 --> 04:55.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. OKAY. 

04:49.233 --> 04:58.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE CLOSING ARGUMENTS BEFORE  

04:53.266 --> 04:59.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
TRIAL, AMANDA.  

04:55.200 --> 05:05.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> THAT IS WHAT WE HAVEN'T  

04:58.700 --> 05:06.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HEARD. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE  

04:59.900 --> 05:08.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ARE GOING TO KNOW. WE FELT THAT 

05:05.533 --> 05:09.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE JURY HAD ONE QUESTION AND  

05:06.500 --> 05:14.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT ANOTHER JURY IS SET TO GO  

05:08.000 --> 05:16.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ON VACATION MAY 1st. THAT MIGHT 

05:09.133 --> 05:18.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
BE SOME OTHER AMOUNT OF 

05:14.833 --> 05:21.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PRESSURE. SO I DON'T THINK THAT 

05:16.433 --> 05:27.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON THAT.  

05:18.633 --> 05:29.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHAT WE DID HEAR FROM WAS BOTH 

05:21.700 --> 05:35.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SIDES. THAT WAS THEIR CLOSING 

05:27.533 --> 05:36.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ARGUMENT.  WHEN YOU LOOK AT  

05:29.766 --> 05:37.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THEIR PERSONALITIES AS WELL AS  

05:35.400 --> 05:39.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THEIR CONDUCT, YOU COULD SAY  

05:36.700 --> 05:40.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THAT IF YOU WERE ONE OF THE 

05:37.933 --> 05:41.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DEFENDANTS, THIS WAS ALL ON THE 

05:39.266 --> 05:47.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
UP AND UP AND THAT THIS IS A 

05:40.766 --> 05:51.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WITCHHUNT REALLY GOING AFTER  

05:41.733 --> 05:52.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FORMER ILLINOIS HOUSE SPEAKER  

05:47.233 --> 05:53.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MICHAEL MADIGAN.  IF YOU ARE  

05:51.433 --> 05:58.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE PROSECUTION, THE GOVERNMENT 

05:52.266 --> 05:59.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SIDE, YOU SAY NO, NO, NO. THIS 

05:53.666 --> 06:01.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IS NOT REGULAR BEHAVIOR. YOU  

05:58.866 --> 06:02.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HAVE WHISPERS, NICKNAMES, PLOTS 

05:59.733 --> 06:05.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LIKE THIS. YOU DON'T PAY PEOPLE 

06:01.000 --> 06:11.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
ON A GHOST PAYROLL FOR A
