ADDISON TO HALSTED, AND IT WILL

154
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:55,733
BE IMPOSSIBLE, SO THEY DECIDED

155
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:57,400
TO BAN PARKING.

156
00:06:54,033 --> 00:07:00,066
OMC SAYS THE CELEBRATION THEY

00:07:35,066 --> 00:07:39,933

00:07:58,566 --> 00:08:05,133
DODGERS, TWO TO THREE BEST

189
00:08:00,433 --> 00:08:07,266
PITCHERS IN BASEBALL, THAT IS

190
00:08:01,766 --> 00:08:11,066
SCARY TO GO UP AGAINST.

191
00:08:05,133 --> 00:08:12,466
THEY ARE TWO OF THE THREE BEST,

192
00:08:07,266 --> 00:08:14,466
THE OTHER PERSON IS JAKE

193
00:08:11,066 --> 00:08:16,033
ARRIETA, THE CUBS' ACE.

194
00:08:12,466 --> 00:08:17,933
THEY HAVE BEST RECORD OF ANY

195
00:08:14,466 --> 00:08:19,200
TIME LEFT IN THE PLAYOFFS AND I

196
00:08:16,033 --> 00:08:19,466
DON'T THINK THEY LOOK

197
00:08:17,933 --> 00:08:22,133
INTIMIDATED BY ANYBODY RIGHT

198
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,400
NOW.

199
00:08:19,466 --> 00:08:24,333
>> THE WORD HISTORIC IS USED A

200
00:08:22,133 --> 00:08:24,900
LOT.

201
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,966
THAT IS NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT IN

202
00:08:24,333 --> 00:08:29,566
THIS CASE?

203
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:31,333
>> LET'S RUN DOWN SOME OF THE

204
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:34,000
BULLET POINTS HERE ON HISTORY.

205
00:08:29,566 --> 00:08:35,200
THE FIRST TIME THE CUBS HAVE

206
00:08:31,333 --> 00:08:40,100
EVER WON A POST-SEASON SERIES,

207
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,366
AT WRIGLEY FIELD.

208
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:44,833
THAT IS GOING BACK 107, 9, 10

209
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:48,100
YEARS, MORE THAN A CENTURY.

210
00:08:42,366 --> 00:08:51,000
AND IT IS ONLY THEIR SECOND

211
00:08:44,833 --> 00:08:52,600
POST-SEASON SERIES WIN SINCE

212
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:55,400
1908 N 2003 THEY WON AGAINST THE

213
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,800
BRAVES AND PLAYED THE MARLINS

214
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,866
AND I DON'T THINK WE WANT TO

215
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:03,466
REMIND VIEWERS HOW THAT ENDED.

216
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:05,300
THE CUBS WERE UP 3-1 AND THAT A

217
00:08:59,866 --> 00:09:06,600
FEW THINGS, THERE WAS FAN, A

218
00:09:03,466 --> 00:09:09,033
FOUL BALL...

219
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:12,533
>> WE RECALL THAT.

220
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:13,933
>> I'M SURE YOU DO.

221
00:09:09,033 --> 00:09:16,666
AND THE THEY HIT TEN HOMERUNS BY

222
00:09:12,533 --> 00:09:18,533
7 DIFFERENT PLAYERS, THE POWER

223
00:09:13,933 --> 00:09:19,800
SURGE AT WRIGLEY WAS DYNAMITE.

224
00:09:16,666 --> 00:09:21,500
THE CUBS WERE NOT KNOWN IN THE

225
00:09:18,533 --> 00:09:24,966
FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON LIKE

226
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:26,833
MUCH OF A POWER HITTING TEAM AND

227
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:27,700
YOU LOOK AT THE ROOKIES,

228
00:09:24,966 --> 00:09:32,233
BASICALLY IN LAST MONTH OR SO OF

229
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:34,766
THE SEASON.

230
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:37,133
WHO AM I MISSING, ADAMSON,

231
00:09:32,233 --> 00:09:38,233
RUSSELL, BRYANT, TURNING ON THE

232
00:09:34,766 --> 00:09:41,433
POWER AT THE RIGHT TIME IN THE

233
00:09:37,133 --> 00:09:43,433
FALL WHEN ITS COUNTS.

234
00:09:38,233 --> 00:09:46,966
SO IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY

235
00:09:41,433 --> 00:09:48,000
FEEL THE PRESSURE AS JOE MADDEN

236
00:09:43,433 --> 00:09:50,300
THE COACH SAID DON'T LET THE

237
00:09:46,966 --> 00:09:52,000
PRESSURE EXCEED THE PLEASURE, A

238
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:53,733
LOT OF PLEASURE TONIGHT, BOTH

239
00:09:50,300 --> 00:09:54,300
PLAYERS AND FANS, AND WE HOPE

240
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,266
THAT EVERYONE CELEBRATES VERY

241
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:59,000
SAFELY.

242
00:09:54,300 --> 00:10:01,633
>> AND LET'S GIVE CREDIT TO

243
00:09:57,266 --> 00:10:04,233
LESTER MONSON WHO PREDICTED THIS

244
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,533
SERIES WILL WOULD BE WON BY THE

245
00:10:01,633 --> 00:10:10,533
CUBS AND CLINCHER WOULD BE HERE

246
00:10:04,233 --> 00:10:12,400
AT HOME.

247
00:10:05,533 --> 00:10:23,266

324
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:17,666

LONGER.

THE APOLOGY IS BETTER THAN NONE

366
00:14:29,266 --> 00:14:36,633
AT ALL BUT BY NOW THE DAMAGE HAS

367
00:14:31,533 --> 00:14:38,233
BEEN DONE.

368
00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:40,033
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SAYS THIS

562
00:20:58,133 --> 00:21:02,566

HELMUT JAHN, TO MAKE IT A SYMBOL

NOT BEEN UP HOLED BY THE

580
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:42,400
ADMINISTRATIONS THAT FOLLOWED.

581
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:44,300
THE BUILDING HAS IN THE BEEN

583
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:49,133
THE BEST WAY ON SAVE IT AND

IMPROVE IT TO TO REPURPOSE IT,

585
00:21:47,366 --> 00:21:53,566

ADDING A HOTEL OR APARTMENTS,

588
00:21:53,566 --> 00:22:00,100
AND IN SHORT, MAKING IT MOST

589
00:21:56,266 --> 00:22:01,900
EXCITING PLACE IN THE CITY WITH

590
00:21:58,666 --> 00:22:03,333
AROUND THE CLOCK ACTIVITY.

591
00:22:00,100 --> 00:22:05,600
THE BUILDING WILL ONLY SURVIVE

592
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:07,266
THIS WAY AND WILL BECOME A LAND

593
00:22:03,333 --> 00:22:10,366
MARK FOR THE 21st CENTURY.

594
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:11,733
THE GOVERNOR IS OF THE OPINION

595
00:22:07,266 --> 00:22:13,366
THAT NO BUR OR DEVELOPER WILL

596
00:22:10,366 --> 00:22:15,100
LIKELY WANT TO KEEP THE BUILDING

597
00:22:11,733 --> 00:22:16,400
AND WILL PROBABLY TEAR IT DOWN.

598
00:22:13,366 --> 00:22:18,366
FOR THE CITY AND STATE, HE SAYS

599
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:20,500
IT IS FOR THE BEST.

600
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,766
>> AND THE GOOD NEWS FOR THE

601
00:22:18,366 --> 00:22:23,066
TAXPAYERS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO

602
00:22:20,500 --> 00:22:25,000
THIS SHOULD GENERAL RIGHT

603
00:22:21,766 --> 00:22:28,433
DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE NEW

604
00:22:23,066 --> 00:22:31,166
BUILDING PUT IN HERE, SOMETHING

605
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:33,333
LIKE $20 MILLION PER YEAR IN NEW

606
00:22:28,433 --> 00:22:34,333
CITY AND SCHOOL TAXES FOR THE

607
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:36,400
BENEFIT OF LOCAL TAXPAYERS.

608
00:22:33,333 --> 00:22:38,133
A LOT OF MONEY.

609
00:22:34,333 --> 00:22:38,766
RIGHT NOW IT'S A GOVERNMENT

610
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:41,500
BUILDING AND NOT ON THE CITY TAX

611
00:22:38,133 --> 00:22:42,433
ROLLS.

612
00:22:38,766 --> 00:22:43,266
THIS DOES NOT GENERAL RIGHT TAX

613
00:22:41,500 --> 00:22:44,700
REVENUE FOR THE PEOPLE OF

614
00:22:42,433 --> 00:22:46,633
CHICAGO.

615
00:22:43,266 --> 00:22:47,833
VERY UNFORTUNATE, THIS IS ONE OF

616
00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:50,166
THE MOST VALUABLE NICEST BLOCKS

617
00:22:46,633 --> 00:22:53,400
IN THE ENTIRE STATE.

618
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:54,200
WE ARE CONDUCTING A REVIEW OF

619
00:22:50,166 --> 00:22:55,166
THE ASSETS THAT ARE OWNED BY THE

620
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,200
STATE, AND TRYING TO DETERMINE

621
00:22:54,200 --> 00:23:00,800
THEIR VALUE.

622
00:22:55,166 --> 00:23:03,033
AND THEIR USEFULNESS, WHATTER

623
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:05,433
MAXIMUM MISING THE BENEFIT, THAT

624
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:06,066
IS AN ONGOING PROCESS.

625
00:23:03,033 --> 00:23:10,400
AND WE WILL BE DOING IT ON A

626
00:23:05,433 --> 00:23:10,966
CONTINUOUS BASIS.

627
00:23:06,066 --> 00:23:13,166
>> ANY DEVELOPERS OR BUYERS

628
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,766
LINING UP?

629
00:23:10,966 --> 00:23:17,066
>> ONE REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER

630
00:23:13,166 --> 00:23:18,400
SAID THE CURRENT FINANCIAL

631
00:23:14,766 --> 00:23:19,566
MARKET IS UNLIKE ANY SHE HAS

632
00:23:17,066 --> 00:23:21,800
EXPERIENCED AND SHE HAS IN THE

633
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,700
DOUBT IT WILL SELL.

634
00:23:19,566 --> 00:23:25,700
NONE OF THE BRERS I TALKED TO

635
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,500
WERE WILLING TO GIVE ME AN IDEA

636
00:23:23,700 --> 00:23:28,166
OF HOW MUCH IT MIGHT SELL FOR.

637
00:23:25,700 --> 00:23:29,366
HOWEVER, HERE'S A STATEMENT THAT

638
00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:30,666
THE CHICAGO ASSOCIATION OF

639
00:23:28,166 --> 00:23:32,500
REALTORS DID SEND US.

640
00:23:29,366 --> 00:23:33,733
WHILE THE CHICAGO MARKETS RIGHT

641
00:23:30,666 --> 00:23:35,500
NOW IS EXPERIENCING A ROBUST

642
00:23:32,500 --> 00:23:36,633
PERIOD OF GROWTH, IT IS

643
00:23:33,733 --> 00:23:38,066
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT

644
00:23:35,500 --> 00:23:40,200
CONDITIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT IN

645
00:23:36,633 --> 00:23:40,700
THE PERHAPS FOUR TO FIVE YEARS

646
00:23:38,066 --> 00:23:43,500
IT WOULD TAKE TO COMPLETE A

647
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,733
PROJECT.

648
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:46,433
ALL OF THIS SAID, IT HAS SEVERAL

649
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:48,200
ANDRY BUTS ANY DEVELOPER WOULD

650
00:23:44,733 --> 00:23:49,466
LOOK FOR, INCLUDING A LARGE

651
00:23:46,433 --> 00:23:52,000
SPACE WITH WHICH TO WORK AND

652
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,966
ACCESS TO TRANSPORTATION AND A

653
00:23:49,466 --> 00:23:55,233
PRIME DOWNTOWN CHICAGO LOCATION.

654
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:58,700
>> AND THE GOVERNOR HAD

655
00:23:53,966 --> 00:24:01,666
SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT A MAJOR

656
00:23:55,233 --> 00:24:03,400
CHANGE THAT THE MAYOR WANTS FOR

657
00:23:58,700 --> 00:24:05,733
HIS UPCOMING DOOMSDAY BUDGET.

658
00:24:01,666 --> 00:24:06,333
>> THE INCREASE IN THE PROPERTY

659
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,233
TAX EXEMPTION THAT HE NEEDS FROM

660
00:24:05,733 --> 00:24:11,333
SPRINGFIELD.

661
00:24:06,333 --> 00:24:12,333
LOW INCOME HOMEOWNERS AS A

662
00:24:09,233 --> 00:24:13,933
MASSIVE PROPERTY TAX SEALS TO BE

663
00:24:11,333 --> 00:24:16,166
ON THE WAY FOR CHICAGO.

664
00:24:12,333 --> 00:24:17,666
THE GOVERNOR SAYS ABOUT THAT:

665
00:24:13,933 --> 00:24:20,066
>> I AM STRONGLY OPPOSED TO THE

666
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:21,866
MAYOR RAISING PROPERTY TAXES ON

667
00:24:17,666 --> 00:24:24,566
THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO WITHOUT

668
00:24:20,066 --> 00:24:25,266
MAJOR STRUCTURAL REFORM AND HE

669
00:24:21,866 --> 00:24:27,500
IS NOT INSTITUTED MAJOR

670
00:24:24,566 --> 00:24:29,000
STRUCTURAL REFORM.

671
00:24:25,266 --> 00:24:30,133
SO I'M OPPOSED AND IN THE

00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,366
INCREASE EFFORT.

674
00:24:30,133 --> 00:24:35,000
AND SO IT GOES.

675
00:24:31,133 --> 00:24:36,000
NO ONE SEEMS TO BE GETTING

676
00:24:33,366 --> 00:24:38,533
ANYTHING IN OR FROM SPRINGFIELD

677
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,300
THAT THEY WANT.

678
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,866
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

HUMAN SPEAKER ACTION, TO SAVE

737
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,933

743
00:27:31,966 --> 00:27:37,800
PROGRAM THEM WELL THEY WOULD

744
00:27:33,233 --> 00:27:39,800
WORK VERY WELL.

745
00:27:34,266 --> 00:27:41,600
THE REALITY IS MOST OF US DON'T.

746
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:45,033
>> SOME OF US KNOW HOW TO MAKE

747
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:46,666
THEM WORK AND MOST OF US DON'T.

748
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:49,733
WHAT THIS IS IS INNOVATIVE

749
00:27:45,033 --> 00:27:51,333
TECHNOLOGY THAT TAKES THE

750
00:27:46,666 --> 00:27:52,800
MYSTERY OUT OF IT AND USES SMART

751
00:27:49,733 --> 00:27:54,266
TECHNOLOGY TO THE THERMOMETER

752
00:27:51,333 --> 00:27:55,833
WORKS THE WAY IT OUGHT TO.

753
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,900
WHEN YOU ARE NOT AT HOME, IT

754
00:27:54,266 --> 00:28:00,300
DOESN'T HEATS A MUCH AND TURNS

755
00:27:55,833 --> 00:28:01,866
DOWN THE HEAT, AND IF IT'S IN

756
00:27:57,900 --> 00:28:03,200
THE SUMMER IT TURNS DOWN THE

757
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:05,533
COOLING SO YOU ARE NOT

758
00:28:01,866 --> 00:28:07,333
OVERHEATING A HUSBAND IF NOBODY

759
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,666
IS THERE AND NOT OVERCOOLING

760
00:28:05,533 --> 00:28:09,400
WHEN NO ONE THINKS.

761
00:28:07,333 --> 00:28:12,133
HOW DOES THE KNOW WHEN YOU ARE

762
00:28:08,666 --> 00:28:14,066
NOT AT HOME.

763
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,933
IT USES WI-FI AND SMART

764
00:28:12,133 --> 00:28:18,466
TECHNOLOGY IN THE GIZMO AND

765
00:28:14,066 --> 00:28:21,200
GADGET SO IT CAN TELL IF PEOPLE

766
00:28:15,933 --> 00:28:21,700
ARE HOME, AND YOU CAN PROGRAM IT

767
00:28:18,466 --> 00:28:23,166
AS IT GETS USED TO YOUR

768
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,266
BEHAVIOR.

769
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:27,433
YOU HAVE A COMPUTER AND STILLS

770
00:28:23,166 --> 00:28:29,866
IT SAYS YOU HAVE AN HOUR LEFT ON

771
00:28:25,266 --> 00:28:31,566
YOUR LAPTOP COMPUTER.

772
00:28:27,433 --> 00:28:32,700
YOU CAN HIT SOMETHING CALLED

773
00:28:29,866 --> 00:28:34,166
BATTERY SAVER AND YOU HAVE TWO

774
00:28:31,566 --> 00:28:36,133
HOURS LEFT.

775
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:38,566
AND MOST OF US DON'T KNOW WHAT

776
00:28:34,166 --> 00:28:40,566
THE COMPUTER DOES OR HOW IT GOES

777
00:28:36,133 --> 00:28:41,533
FROM AN HOUR TO TWO HOURS, THAT

778
00:28:38,566 --> 00:28:43,733
IS BEHIND THE BOX.

779
00:28:40,566 --> 00:28:45,200
BUT OUT WORKS.

780
00:28:41,533 --> 00:28:45,500
AND THIS IS USING MODERN

781
00:28:43,733 --> 00:28:47,266
TECHNOLOGY, REALLY GOING TO

782
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,333
SAIL.

783
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:51,633
WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS WHO GOT THE

784
00:28:47,266 --> 00:28:54,966
LATEST GIZMO AND GADGETS AND

785
00:28:49,333 --> 00:28:55,500
WILL THIS WILL GET A MILLION

786
00:28:51,633 --> 00:28:57,733
SMART THERMOMETERS, IN NORTHERN

787
00:28:54,966 --> 00:28:59,100
ILLINOIS.

788
00:28:55,500 --> 00:29:00,833
IT WILL SAVE PEOPLE MONEY ON

789
00:28:57,733 --> 00:29:03,466
THEIR ELECTRIC AND FAST BILLS

790
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:05,133
AND REBATE WILL MEAN THAT AFTER

791
00:29:00,833 --> 00:29:08,700
ABOUT A YEAR, IT WILL PAY FOR

792
00:29:03,466 --> 00:29:10,733
ITSELF, AND AFTER THAT, IT IS

793
00:29:05,133 --> 00:29:11,100
ALL SAVINGS.

794
00:29:08,700 --> 00:29:13,266
LESS MONEY AND REDUCED

795
00:29:10,733 --> 00:29:15,133
POLLUTION.

796
00:29:11,100 --> 00:29:16,500
>> A VIDEO OF THE HIGHLIGHTS,

797
00:29:13,266 --> 00:29:16,966
AND I'M STILL CURIOUS AS TO HOW

798
00:29:15,133 --> 00:29:18,600
IT KNOWS WHEN YOU ARE HOME OR

799
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:19,000
NOT.

800
00:29:16,966 --> 00:29:20,733
IS THERE A MOTION DEVICE OR

801
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,033
SOMETHING?

802
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:26,266
>> THAT IS HOW IT O.

803
00:29:20,733 --> 00:29:27,433
AND STUDIES HAVE SHOWN, A

804
00:29:24,033 --> 00:29:28,433
PAINFUL AMOUNT OF ENERGY IS

805
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:31,166
WAEFTDED HEATING AND COOLING

806
00:29:27,433 --> 00:29:33,133
EMPTY HOMES.

807
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:35,800
WHAT THIS IS TRYING TO DO IT

808
00:29:31,166 --> 00:29:37,666
TAKE OUT THE HUMAN ERROR, OUT OF

809
00:29:33,133 --> 00:29:39,066
THE PROCESS, AND CREATE A DEVICE

810
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:43,700
THAT HAS A DEVICE THAT

811
00:29:37,666 --> 00:29:46,433
AUTOMATICALLY SETS A TEMPERATURE

812
00:29:39,066 --> 00:29:48,566
ALMOST AUTOMATIC SAVINGS, IT HAS

813
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:52,866
SIXTH SENSE OF SAVING CASH.

814
00:29:46,433 --> 00:29:56,066
>> USING A MEXICO DETECTOR AND

815
00:29:48,566 --> 00:29:58,066
OTHER FEATURES, IT TRAINS ITSELF

816
00:29:52,866 --> 00:29:58,733
TO INCORPORATE YOUR HABITS INTO

817
00:29:56,066 --> 00:30:00,833
CONTROLLING HEATING AND COOLING,

818
00:29:58,066 --> 00:30:02,366
IS THAT IT?

819
00:29:58,733 --> 00:30:05,800
>> IT BECOMES YOUR COMFORT

820
00:30:00,833 --> 00:30:07,866
FRIEND.

821
00:30:02,366 --> 00:30:09,766
>> FOR THOSE OF WHITE HOUSE HAVE

822
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,700
NO FRIENDS, THZ...

823
00:30:07,866 --> 00:30:14,100
>> HAVE YOU TWO NEW FRIENDS

824
00:30:09,766 --> 00:30:15,666
TONIGHT.

825
00:30:10,700 --> 00:30:18,833
>> IT SENSES HER BEHAVIOR AND

826
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:19,700
UNDERSTANDS YOOB HABITS.

827
00:30:15,666 --> 00:30:21,733
YOU COULD PLUG WITHIN IN AND IT

828
00:30:18,833 --> 00:30:24,733
COULD LIGHT UP INDICATING THAT

829
00:30:19,700 --> 00:30:27,033
IT KNOWS THAT YOU ARE THERE.

830
00:30:21,733 --> 00:30:28,633
AND NOT SENSITIVE TO PETS, AND I

831
00:30:24,733 --> 00:30:30,866
CAN DISTINGUISH BETWEEN PETS AND

832
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:33,000
HUMANS AND IT REALLY DOES LEARN

833
00:30:28,633 --> 00:30:34,533
YOUR BEHAVIOR AND ALLOWS YOU TO

834
00:30:30,866 --> 00:30:35,266
THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BESIDES

835
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,233
WHEN TO TURN THE THERMOMETER UP

836
00:30:34,533 --> 00:30:39,733
OR DOWN.

837
00:30:35,266 --> 00:30:41,133
>> AND WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT

838
00:30:37,233 --> 00:30:42,966
IS GREAT IS THAT ENERGY

839
00:30:39,733 --> 00:30:44,800
EFFICIENCY ISN'T ABOUT KEEPING

840
00:30:41,133 --> 00:30:46,266
YOUR HOME UNCOMFORTABLE OR TOO

841
00:30:42,966 --> 00:30:48,066
COOL OR TOO HOT BUT ABOUT

842
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:49,233
KEEPING YOUR HOME COMFORTABLE

843
00:30:46,266 --> 00:30:53,033
AND NOT BREAKING THE BANK.

844
00:30:48,066 --> 00:30:54,166
THIS IS WHAT THEY DO.

845
00:30:49,233 --> 00:30:56,066
THE NEXT STEP, THEY CAN REALLY

846
00:30:53,033 --> 00:30:57,466
REVOLUTIONIZE HOME SAVINGS

847
00:30:54,166 --> 00:30:59,800
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOISES.

848
00:30:56,066 --> 00:31:02,033
THE REASON THAT WE ARE TALKING

849
00:30:57,466 --> 00:31:02,433
ABOUT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE A

850
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:05,833
REBATE PROGRAM, THESE ARE NOT

851
00:31:02,033 --> 00:31:07,600
INEXPENSIVE.

852
00:31:02,433 --> 00:31:12,433
BUT THERE IS ARE REBATE PROGRAM

853
00:31:05,833 --> 00:31:14,533
THROUGH WHICH CUSTOMERS WILL GET

854
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:16,566
A HALF, A REBATE, SO HOW SOON,

855
00:31:12,433 --> 00:31:18,633
WHAT IS THESE NORMALLY COST AND

856
00:31:14,533 --> 00:31:20,133
WHAT DOES RECEIPT BAIT DO?

857
00:31:16,566 --> 00:31:21,766
THE LIST PRICE FOR THESE IS

858
00:31:18,633 --> 00:31:23,600
ABOUT $250.

859
00:31:20,133 --> 00:31:26,100
AND REBAITS AVAILABLE THROUGH

860
00:31:21,766 --> 00:31:28,300
COM ED IN CONJUNCTION WITH

861
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:32,833
PEOPLES AND NICOR GAS WILL CUT

862
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:36,500
THAT IN ABOUT HALF.

863
00:31:28,300 --> 00:31:39,033
THERE ARE ME WAYS TO DO IT, IF

864
00:31:32,833 --> 00:31:41,733
TO THE STORE AND BUY WITHIN AND

865
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:45,666
SUBMIT THE REBATE FORM.

866
00:31:39,033 --> 00:31:47,900
YOU CAN HAVE A CONTRACTOR

867
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:50,000
RESTORE, OR YOU CAN PARTICIPATE

868
00:31:45,666 --> 00:31:51,200
IN A HOME SAVINGS PROGRAM, AND

869
00:31:47,900 --> 00:31:52,333
WE'LL GIVE YOU A HOME ENERGY

870
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,766
ASSESSMENT AND HELP YOU

871
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,466
UNDERSTAND WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO

872
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:57,333
TO SAVE MONEY AND WE WILL

873
00:31:54,766 --> 00:31:58,900
INSTALL THIS FOR YOU AND CUT THE

874
00:31:56,466 --> 00:32:01,900
COST THIS HALF.

875
00:31:57,333 --> 00:32:03,366
>> HOW THE NUMBERS WORK F YOU

876
00:31:58,900 --> 00:32:05,233
GET THE REBATE FOR ABOUT $120,

877
00:32:01,900 --> 00:32:06,500
IN THE FIRST YEAR YOU SAVE ABOUT

878
00:32:03,366 --> 00:32:08,700
A HUNDRED, ON THE GAS AND

879
00:32:05,233 --> 00:32:10,733
ELECTRIC BILL, AND THAT IS PAID

880
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:13,000
FOR THE DEVICE.

881
00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:14,400
SO AFTER THAT, IT IS GRAVY.

882
00:32:10,733 --> 00:32:14,866
YOU ARE SAVING MONEY ON YOUR

883
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,366
BILLS, AND YOU ARE AVOIDING

884
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,033
POLLUTION.

885
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:23,866
THIS IS PUTTING MODERN

886
00:32:16,366 --> 00:32:26,900
TECHNOLOGY TO WORK, NOT JUST FOR

887
00:32:18,033 --> 00:32:27,333
A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE ADEPT, THIS

888
00:32:23,866 --> 00:32:28,766
IS TO GET OUT TO A MILLION

889
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:31,100
HOUSEHOLDS...

890
00:32:27,333 --> 00:32:31,433
>> YOU THINK A MILLION?

891
00:32:28,766 --> 00:32:32,933
>> YES, STAY THOUGH THIS TO

892
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:34,866
SCALE.

893
00:32:31,433 --> 00:32:36,666
THIS IS NOT JUST A COUPLE OF

894
00:32:32,933 --> 00:32:38,233
PEOPLE DOING AN INTERESTING NEW

895
00:32:34,866 --> 00:32:39,700
GIZMO, WE WANT THIS IN THE HOMES

896
00:32:36,666 --> 00:32:41,633
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SMALL

897
00:32:38,233 --> 00:32:42,966
AMOUNTS, PEOPLE WHO HAVE LARGE

898
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:44,600
AMOUNTS, WHO HAVE SMALL HOMES

899
00:32:41,633 --> 00:32:46,366
AND BIG HOMES.

900
00:32:42,966 --> 00:32:46,700
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS, THE

901
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,566
CITY, THE SUBURBS AND OTHER

902
00:32:46,366 --> 00:32:51,133
PLACES.

903
00:32:46,700 --> 00:32:52,533
THAT IS TAKING THE ADVANTAGES OF

904
00:32:48,566 --> 00:32:54,100
ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND SAVING

905
00:32:51,133 --> 00:32:54,533
PEOPLE MONEY AND REDUCE

906
00:32:52,533 --> 00:32:56,166
POLLUTION AND MAKING IT REAL FOR

907
00:32:54,100 --> 00:32:58,766
PEOPLE.

908
00:32:54,533 --> 00:33:01,066
YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE

909
00:32:56,166 --> 00:33:02,566
BENEFITS FOR CUSTOMERS, WHAT IS

910
00:32:58,766 --> 00:33:04,833
IT IT FOR THE UTILITYS?

911
00:33:01,066 --> 00:33:06,266
>> A COUPLE OF THINGS.

912
00:33:02,566 --> 00:33:09,166
WE WOULDN'T DO IT IF IT WASN'T

913
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:10,566
THIS OUR INTEREST.

914
00:33:06,266 --> 00:33:12,166
THE PRINCIPLE REASON IS NO

915
00:33:09,166 --> 00:33:14,200
BUSINESS DOES WELL IF IT DOESN'T

916
00:33:10,566 --> 00:33:15,400
SERVE ITS CUSTOMERS WELL.

917
00:33:12,166 --> 00:33:17,366
THIS IS AN IDEAL WAY TO

918
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,233
INTRODUCE THEM TO THE WHOLE

919
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:20,266
CONCEPTS OF THE SMART HOME,

920
00:33:17,366 --> 00:33:21,933
SMART ENERGY HOME.

921
00:33:18,233 --> 00:33:25,233
THIS IS THE FIRST IN A LONG LINE

922
00:33:20,266 --> 00:33:27,166
OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE WILL SEE,

923
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:28,366
THAT WILL PUT POWER IN EMERGENCY

924
00:33:25,233 --> 00:33:28,866
CUSTOMERS TO MANAGE THEIR OWN

925
00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:30,833
ENERGY BILL AND WE WILL BE PART

926
00:33:28,366 --> 00:33:32,466
OF THAT.

927
00:33:28,866 --> 00:33:34,166
WE THINK THAT IS A WAY TO CREATE

928
00:33:30,833 --> 00:33:35,066
MORE VALUE AND CREATE THAT

929
00:33:32,466 --> 00:33:39,800
VALUE, THEY WILL FIND MORE

930
00:33:34,166 --> 00:33:41,033
VALUE.

931
00:33:35,066 --> 00:33:42,766
I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT REDUCES

932
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,166
THE AMOUNT OF CAPACITIED THEY

933
00:33:41,033 --> 00:33:44,666
NEED TO GENERAL RIGHT ON

934
00:33:42,766 --> 00:33:46,666
SUPERHOT DAYS OR DURING A COLD

935
00:33:44,166 --> 00:33:49,233
SPELL.

936
00:33:44,666 --> 00:33:51,466
>> THAT IS A EXCELLENT POINT.

937
00:33:46,666 --> 00:33:53,566
THE WHOLE IDEA ABOUT ENERGY

938
00:33:49,233 --> 00:33:55,200
EFFICIENCY, IF YOU GET ENOUGH

939
00:33:51,466 --> 00:33:57,500
PEOPLE INVOLVED YOU CAN REDUCE

940
00:33:53,566 --> 00:33:58,800
ELECTRICITY DEMAND, THAT CAN

941
00:33:55,200 --> 00:34:01,066
REDUCE MARKETS PRICES AND CAN

942
00:33:57,500 --> 00:34:05,633
MAKE THE POWER GRID MORE STABLE.

943
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:06,366
A LOT OF BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE.

944
00:34:01,066 --> 00:34:08,500
WE KNOW IN THE COMPANIES ARE

945
00:34:05,633 --> 00:34:10,566
AGREES ON THEM.

946
00:34:06,366 --> 00:34:11,066
>> YOU DON'T OFTEN SEE THE

947
00:34:08,500 --> 00:34:13,233
FARMERS AND RANCHERS SITTING

948
00:34:10,566 --> 00:34:14,900
DOWN TOGETHER PM

949
00:34:11,066 --> 00:34:18,366
>> WE LEFT THE BRS KNUCKLES AT

950
00:34:13,233 --> 00:34:20,000
THE DOOR.

951
00:34:14,900 --> 00:34:22,366
WE WILL WORK WITH ANYBODY.

952
00:34:18,366 --> 00:34:25,766

ARRANGED FOR A WASTED ENERGY

957
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:36,000
STUDY.

958
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:37,266
THE PROBLEM WAS THIS, IF WE KNEW

959
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,133
HOW TO MAKE A PROGRAMABLE

960
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,933
THERMOMETER WORK REALLY WELL

961
00:34:37,266 --> 00:34:41,900
THEY WOULD DO EVERYTHING THEY

962
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:42,400
ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

963
00:34:39,933 --> 00:34:44,000
MOST OF US DON'T AND THAT WAS

964
00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:48,633
WASTING ENERGY.

965
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:51,266
IN THE UPSHOT THAT HAVE STUDY,

966
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:53,333

WITH THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE THE

00:34:57,033 --> 00:35:03,300
SMART THERMOMETERS AND WITH THE

972
00:34:59,533 --> 00:35:04,833
ATTORNEY GENERALS AND OTHERS TO

973
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:08,500
SAY CAN WE PUT TOGETHER A

974
00:35:03,300 --> 00:35:10,933
PROGRAM, NOT JUST A PILOT

975
00:35:04,833 --> 00:35:13,500
PROGRAM, A COUPLE OF THOUSANDS

976
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:13,833
OF THESE AND THIS TECHNOLOGY

977
00:35:10,933 --> 00:35:15,900
WORKS, AND HOW DO WE GET TO

978
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:17,300
SCALE.

979
00:35:13,833 --> 00:35:19,700
A MILLION WAS AMBITIOUS BUT THAT

980
00:35:15,900 --> 00:35:22,933
IS A GAME CHANGER.

981
00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:25,766
LIKE GOING FROM YOUR STEADY OLD

982
00:35:19,700 --> 00:35:26,333
CHEVY TO A TESTLER AND GETTING

983
00:35:22,933 --> 00:35:27,933
THEM IN HOMES AROUND THE REGION,

984
00:35:25,766 --> 00:35:28,566
EVERYONE WINS.

985
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:31,533
WE SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE

986
00:35:27,933 --> 00:35:33,133
POLLUTION.

987
00:35:28,566 --> 00:35:35,833
AS VAL PUTS IT, KMLT EDISON WILL

988
00:35:31,533 --> 00:35:38,400
NOT BE SUCCESSFUL TELLING PEOPLE

989
00:35:33,133 --> 00:35:40,766
YOU HAVE TO USE OLD TECHNOLOGY,

990
00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:42,266
WHEN NEW TECHNOLOGY IS COMING IN

991
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,900
AND UTILITYS AND PEOPLE HE WORK

992
00:35:40,766 --> 00:35:45,500
WITH ARE GETTING WITH THE

993
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:46,566
PROGRAM AND MOVING IT FORWARD.

994
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:48,666
THIS IS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

995
00:35:45,500 --> 00:35:50,033
A WIN-WIN.

996
00:35:46,566 --> 00:35:52,833
AND WHAT DOES THE MONEY FROM THE

997
00:35:48,666 --> 00:35:55,066
REBATE PROGRAM COME FROM?

998
00:35:50,033 --> 00:35:58,466
>> IT IS PAID FOR BY OUR

00:36:02,233 --> 00:36:08,966
MONEY FROM ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS.

1005
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:11,766
>> THERE IS MONEY FOR

1006
00:36:08,133 --> 00:36:13,733
INITIATIVES LIKE THIS.

1007
00:36:08,966 --> 00:36:15,066
I SEE.

1008
00:36:11,766 --> 00:36:17,133
ANY OTHER CITIES DOING THIS?

1009
00:36:13,733 --> 00:36:18,466
>> THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT IS

1010
00:36:15,066 --> 00:36:20,600
AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE ACROSS

NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND I WITH SAY

1012
00:36:18,466 --> 00:36:24,233
THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BE IN

1013
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,800
ILLINOIS BECAUSE ENERGY

1014
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:29,466
EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS ARE FULL AND

1015
00:36:24,233 --> 00:36:30,933
RICH, AND WE WANT THEM ON GET

1016
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:32,466
BETTER AND BE BIGGER BUT THIS IS

1017
00:36:29,466 --> 00:36:35,033
A GREAT START.

1018
00:36:30,933 --> 00:36:36,933
>> THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING

1019
00:36:32,466 --> 00:36:37,866
GOING WITH THESE THOYRMS AND WE

1020
00:36:35,033 --> 00:36:40,800
ARE PROUD TO BE LEADING THIS.

1021
00:36:36,933 --> 00:36:44,200
STEPPING UP.

1022
00:36:37,866 --> 00:36:45,466
>> ISN'T THAT GOOD?

1023
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,866
>> YES IT IS.

1024
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:48,933
DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN.

1025
00:36:45,466 --> 00:36:50,266
>> THERE ARE SOMETIMES WHEN IF

1026
00:36:46,866 --> 00:36:52,433
WE GET THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND

1027
00:36:48,933 --> 00:36:54,666
PLAYERS TOGETHER, WE LOOK AT THE

1028
00:36:50,266 --> 00:36:56,266
NEW POWERS OF TECHNOLOGY AND WE

1029
00:36:52,433 --> 00:36:59,366
SEE WHAT WARKS AND WHAT CAN WORK

1030
00:36:54,666 --> 00:37:01,466
FOR PEOPLE GOING FORWARD.

IN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MOVES

1034

US FORWARD.

1035
00:37:03,333 --> 00:37:08,733
I THINK EVERYBODY GOT TOGETHER

1036
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:11,900
AND SAID THIS MAKES SENSE, LET'S

1037
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:12,566
DO IT A SMART SOLUTION.

1038
00:37:08,733 --> 00:37:12,866
A LOT OF TALK ABOUT NEW YORK AND

1039
00:37:11,900 --> 00:37:14,133
CALIFORNIA AND WHAT THEY ARE

1040
00:37:12,566 --> 00:37:15,466
DOING.

1041
00:37:12,866 --> 00:37:17,133
ILLINOIS IS A LEADER IN ENERGY

1042

EFFICIENCY, AND CUTTING PEOPLE'S

1043
00:37:15,466 --> 00:37:20,233
BILLS.

1044
00:37:17,133 --> 00:37:22,266

IS ANOTHER LOOK LOOK.

WESTERN AVENUE SOUTH OF PETERSON

1057
00:37:41,900 --> 00:37:47,466
SEEMS LIKE AN UNLIKELY PLACE TO

1058
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:51,033
FIND NATURAL BEAUTY.

1059
00:37:46,033 --> 00:37:53,500

ME AROUND.

1072
00:38:15,033 --> 00:38:21,666
SHE HAS BEEN SNEAKING INTO THE

1073
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:23,433
PIECE OF LAND FOR MANY YEARS.

1074
00:38:18,966 --> 00:38:25,833
>> IT WAS A NO TRESPASSING AREA

1075
00:38:21,666 --> 00:38:26,300
BUT EVERYONE WOULD COME DOWN THE

1076
00:38:23,433 --> 00:38:28,033
PATH AND COME AND PLAY IN THE

1077
00:38:25,833 --> 00:38:29,866
WOODS.

1078
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:32,333
AND I WOULD COME HERE WITH MY

00:38:28,033 --> 00:38:34,566
DAUGHTER FOR 20 YEARS AND WE

1080
00:38:29,866 --> 00:38:37,466
WOULD FISH AND CLIMB THE TREES.

1081
00:38:32,333 --> 00:38:40,733
>> NOW MUCH OF THE UNDERBRUSH

1082
00:38:34,566 --> 00:38:43,366
HAS BEEN REMOVED INCLUDING MANY

1083
00:38:37,466 --> 00:38:44,233
INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES.

1084
00:38:40,733 --> 00:38:48,333
THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR A HAVEN

1085
00:38:43,366 --> 00:38:50,400
FOR WILDLIFE.

1086
00:38:44,233 --> 00:38:53,333
THERE WAS A ROAD TAIL-- RED TAIL

1087
00:38:48,333 --> 00:38:55,400
HAWK ON OPENING DAY.

1088
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:56,366
I SAW A HAWK CATCH A SNAKE.

1089
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:59,633
68 HAVE BIRDS WERE SPOTTED IN

1090
00:38:55,400 --> 00:39:02,533
THIS AREA.

1091
00:38:56,366 --> 00:39:04,366
AND THERE ARE 15 THREATENED

1092
00:38:59,633 --> 00:39:05,900
SPECIES, SO FOR HUMANS IT IS A

1093
00:39:02,533 --> 00:39:08,000
GREAT WAY TO CONNECT WITH

1094
00:39:04,366 --> 00:39:10,366
NATURE, AND FOR THE WILDLIFE IT

1095
00:39:05,900 --> 00:39:11,733
IS A CRITICAL HABITAT.

1096
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,266
IT IS JUST VERY EXCITING.

1097
00:39:10,366 --> 00:39:14,766
>> Reporter: THERE IS NEARLY A

1098
00:39:11,733 --> 00:39:17,533
MILE OF PATH, ALL WHEELCHAIR

1099
00:39:14,266 --> 00:39:19,366
ACCESSIBLE.

1100
00:39:14,766 --> 00:39:22,200
MOST ARE PAVED AND SOME ARE

1101
00:39:17,533 --> 00:39:24,200
BOARDWAUGS OVER WHAT IS KNOWN AS

1102
00:39:19,366 --> 00:39:26,000
AN EMERGENT WETLAND PUP MIGHT

1103
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,900
NOT SEA WATER HERE YEAR ROUND

1104
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,000
BUT WAITSES CLOSE UNDER THE

1105
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,966
SURFACE.

1106
00:39:26,900 --> 00:39:31,633
MANY NEW NATIVE PLANTS HAVE BEEN

1107
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,266
ADDED.

1108
00:39:29,966 --> 00:39:37,100
THOSE AREAS LOOK SPARSE BUT ARE

1109
00:39:31,633 --> 00:39:39,366
EXPECTED TO FILL IN MORE IN THE

1110
00:39:33,266 --> 00:39:40,266
YEARS AHEAD.

1111
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:41,200
SO IT IS NOISY ON WESTERN

1112
00:39:39,366 --> 00:39:42,600
AVENUE.

1113
00:39:40,266 --> 00:39:45,033
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

1114
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,600
WHEN YOU GO TO THE NATURE

1115
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:48,333
PRESERVE OVER WESTERN AVENUE,

1116
00:39:45,033 --> 00:39:49,733
YOU WILL GET A LITTLE NOISE BUT

1117
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,966
ONCE YOU GET TO THE MIDDLE, YOU

1118
00:39:48,333 --> 00:39:52,933
DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.

1119
00:39:49,733 --> 00:39:55,766
JUST ENJOY THE NATURE AND NOT

1120
00:39:51,966 --> 00:39:57,866
EVEN A FACTOR.

1121
00:39:52,933 --> 00:40:00,233
AND THE SHRUBS ON WESTERN AVENUE

1122
00:39:55,766 --> 00:40:02,333
SHOULD FILL IN, OFFERING EVEN

1123
00:39:57,866 --> 00:40:04,300
MORE SECLUSION AND QUIET.

1124
00:40:00,233 --> 00:40:07,033
THE FOUR AND A HALF ACRE POND IS

1125
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:10,200
THE CENTRAL FEATURE OF THE PARK.

1126
00:40:04,300 --> 00:40:10,733
BY NEXT YEAR IT WILL BE STOCKED

1127
00:40:07,033 --> 00:40:15,133

1128
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:17,900
CATCHING ANYTHING

1129
00:40:10,733 --> 00:40:20,233
>> A SMALL BLUE HEADS.

1130
00:40:15,133 --> 00:40:21,966
AND THEY HANT STOCKED IT YET.

1131
00:40:17,900 --> 00:40:23,866
HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR LIT BE

1132
00:40:20,233 --> 00:40:27,233
BETTER.

1133
00:40:21,966 --> 00:40:29,166
ON THE SOUTH END OF THE PRESERVE

1134
00:40:23,866 --> 00:40:30,166

GIVES YOU THAT FEELING OF

1136
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:35,933
SANCTUARY.

YOU JUST FEEL GOOD BEING IN IT.

1138
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:42,100

HEADANCE CERAMICS FROM 1700

1143

YEARS AGO.

1144

CALL A COUNCIL RING, FOR

1146

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND

1147
00:40:53,666 --> 00:41:02,633
MEETSINGS OR JUST COMTEAM PLAIGS

1148
00:40:56,833 --> 00:41:04,600
AND IF YOU LIKE BUGS, YOU WANT

1149
00:41:01,033 --> 00:41:06,500
TO SEE?

1150
00:41:02,633 --> 00:41:08,466
PATRICE CEISEL SAYS THEY WAPTSZ

1151
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:10,133
TO USE THE THAT'S RIGHT PRESERVE

1152
00:41:06,500 --> 00:41:13,500
AS A PLACE TO INTRODUCE NATURE

1153
00:41:08,466 --> 00:41:14,033
TO CHILDREN.

1154
00:41:10,133 --> 00:41:17,633
A GREAT ADDITION TO THE

1155
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:18,966
COMMUNITY.

1156
00:41:14,033 --> 00:41:21,233
WE SAW GRASSHOPPERS AND BIRDS.

1157
00:41:17,633 --> 00:41:23,133
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS

1158
00:41:18,966 --> 00:41:24,466
COMPARED TO A PLAYGROUND.

1159
00:41:21,233 --> 00:41:26,500
I THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF LAY

1160
00:41:23,133 --> 00:41:27,200
GROUNDS AND LOTS OF PLACES TO

1161
00:41:24,466 --> 00:41:28,900
GET THAT ENERGY OUT, SO THIS IS

1162
00:41:26,500 --> 00:41:31,400
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

1163
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:33,333
AND IF THERE WAS APPLY GROUND

1164
00:41:28,900 --> 00:41:35,366
HERE, I DON'T THINK WE SWO HAVE

1165
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:38,333
SPEND AS MUCH TIMEX PLORING.

1166
00:41:33,333 --> 00:41:44,066
THIS IS A NATURAL AREA AND

1167
00:41:35,366 --> 00:41:46,366
INSTEAD OF HAVING SWING SETS AND

1168
00:41:38,333 --> 00:41:49,733
MONKEY BARS.

1169
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:53,100
IT SEALS TO HAVE MADE FOR LESS

1170
00:41:46,366 --> 00:41:55,533
WILDLIFE IN THE SHORT RUN BUT AS

1171
00:41:49,733 --> 00:41:57,833
THE MORE NATIVE ECO SYSTEMS

1172
00:41:53,100 --> 00:42:00,433
RETURNS, THIS WILL BE MORE.

1173
00:41:55,533 --> 00:42:01,833
>> I LOVE THE REG STATION, YOU

1174
00:41:57,833 --> 00:42:02,833
HAVE WALNUT TREES AND OAK TREES.

1175
00:42:00,433 --> 00:42:04,766
ALL KIND OF STUFF HERE.

1176
00:42:01,833 --> 00:42:07,166
GREAT FOR WILDLIFE.

1177
00:42:02,833 --> 00:42:08,400
WE ARE HOPING THE VEGETATION

1178
00:42:04,766 --> 00:42:10,800
WILL FILL IN MORE SO THE

1179
00:42:07,166 --> 00:42:12,866
RECLUSIVE SPECIES THAT FOUND

1180
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:13,866
THEIR HOME HERE WILL RETURN, AND

1181
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:18,500
HAVE THE ISOLATION THAT THEY

1182
00:42:12,866 --> 00:42:19,600
REQUIRE.

1183
00:42:13,866 --> 00:42:21,666

AND HE ALSO GAVE YOU ADVICE

1237
00:44:03,933 --> 00:44:09,133
BEFORE YOU STARTED HOSTING "MEET

1238
00:44:05,633 --> 00:44:11,900
THE PRESS"?

1239
00:44:06,433 --> 00:44:13,766
>> HE TALKED A BIT ABOUT THE

1240
00:44:09,133 --> 00:44:15,700
SCRUTINY THAT I WOULD FACE, AND

ADVICE.

1247
00:44:22,333 --> 00:44:29,333
I COVERED POLITICS BEFORE, AND

1248
00:44:25,566 --> 00:44:31,400
IT WAS A UNIQUE FIGURE.

1249
00:44:26,900 --> 00:44:35,733
I RESPECTED HIM, A LOT AND I

1250
00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:37,733
THINK HE THOUGHT I WAS FAIR.

1251
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:39,233
>> YOU DEVELOPED A REPUTATION AS

00:44:35,733 --> 00:44:41,600
DOG ED QUESTIONER.

1253

PRET "MEET THE PRESS" HAS HIGH

1254
00:44:39,233 --> 00:44:45,466
ROE PILE JOB AND YOU WRITE ABOUT

1255
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:47,600
THE LOSS OF THAT JOB.

1256
00:44:43,866 --> 00:44:48,200
>> IT HAS HARD, PEOPLE GO

1257
00:44:45,466 --> 00:44:49,566
THROUGH THAT U LOSE YOUR JOB A

1258
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,566
TOUGH BUSINESS.

1259
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:53,633
YOU KNOW THAT.

1260
00:44:49,566 --> 00:44:56,933
AND YET, YOU KNOW, THIS IS VERY

1261
00:44:51,566 --> 00:44:58,433
PUBLIC AND EMBARRASSING.

1262
00:44:53,633 --> 00:45:00,233
IT WAS IF I HAD DONE SOMETHING

1263
00:44:56,933 --> 00:45:02,866
WRONG, IT DID MY BEST.

1264
00:44:58,433 --> 00:45:04,500
AND THAT IS TOO BAD.

1265
00:45:00,233 --> 00:45:06,333
AND IT WAS HARD FOR ME, WHAT I

1266
00:45:02,866 --> 00:45:08,966
WRITE ABOUT IN THE BOOK A AS

1267
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:11,566
SOON AS OF IDENTITY AND LOSING

1268
00:45:06,333 --> 00:45:12,833
THAT WHICH I HAD, SINCE I WAS 18

1269
00:45:08,966 --> 00:45:14,033
WHEN I FIRST GOT ON TO TV NEWS,

1270
00:45:11,566 --> 00:45:15,200
THIS IDENTITY OF BEING ON

1271
00:45:12,833 --> 00:45:17,100
TELEVISION AND HAVING A

1272
00:45:14,033 --> 00:45:19,533
CELEBRITY, ALL THE TRAPPINGS OF

1273
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:20,666
THAT JOB AND LOSING THAT WITH

1274
00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:22,733
SOMETHING I THINK SET ME BACK

1275
00:45:19,533 --> 00:45:24,433
FARTHER THAN I EXPECTED TO.

1276
00:45:20,666 --> 00:45:26,433
I HAD PERSPECTIVE AND MY FAITH,

1277
00:45:22,733 --> 00:45:27,266
BUT THE LOSS OF IDENTITY WAS

1278
00:45:24,433 --> 00:45:29,266
SOMETHING I REALLY HAD TO

1279
00:45:26,433 --> 00:45:31,533
STRUGGLE WITH.

1280
00:45:27,266 --> 00:45:33,266
YOU WRITE ABOUT FINALLY HEARING

1281
00:45:29,266 --> 00:45:34,400
THAT YOU WERE PARTING WAYS WITH

1282
00:45:31,533 --> 00:45:36,600
NBC AND YOU HAD CONVERSATION

1283
00:45:33,266 --> 00:45:39,000
WITH YOUR WIFE.

1284
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:40,600
AND YOU PULL OVER ON THE SIDE

1285
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:42,466
STREET, ON YOUR WAY HOME, AND

1286
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,866
DESCRIBE WHAT THAT WAS LIKE?

1287
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:46,633
>> THIS WAS A DAY WHEN I

1288
00:45:42,466 --> 00:45:47,700
FOYERSED THE ISSUE, I WASN'T

1289
00:45:44,866 --> 00:45:49,500
FIRED, I FELT LIKE IT WOULD

1290
00:45:46,633 --> 00:45:52,266
HAPPEN.

1291
00:45:47,700 --> 00:45:54,233
IT HAD BEEN A RUFF PERIOD AT NBC

1292
00:45:49,500 --> 00:45:54,800
AND A LOT OF LEAKS ABOUT WHETHER

1293
00:45:52,266 --> 00:45:57,066
I WOULD LOSE MY JOB, AND SO

1294
00:45:54,233 --> 00:45:59,766
FORTH.

1295
00:45:54,800 --> 00:46:02,366
I WANTED TO BE IN A SERENE

1296
00:45:57,066 --> 00:46:03,000
SETTING AND TALK TO MY WIFE.

1297
00:45:59,766 --> 00:46:05,700
AND I THINK THIS IS WHERE FAITH

1298
00:46:02,366 --> 00:46:08,066
GUIDED ME.

1299
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,333
I FELT A MEASURE OF PEACE, AND I

1300
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:12,033
FELT I HAD PERSPECTIVE AND I

1301
00:46:08,066 --> 00:46:15,133
FELT LOVE AND I WOULD BE OKAY.

1302
00:46:10,333 --> 00:46:16,900
EVEN THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT HOW

1303
00:46:12,033 --> 00:46:20,033
WILL IDEAL WITH THIS BACK AND

1304
00:46:15,133 --> 00:46:21,800
TELL MY CHILDREN, BUT I THOUGHT

1305
00:46:16,900 --> 00:46:23,566
THIS WILL BE GOOD FOR ME AND

1306
00:46:20,033 --> 00:46:25,133
GOOD FOR THEM, AND I HAD A SENSE

1307
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:27,633
OF BROADER CONTEXT, EVERYTHING

1308
00:46:23,566 --> 00:46:28,233
THAT WAS HAPPENING.

1309
00:46:25,133 --> 00:46:30,833
>> YOU SAID YOU FLT LIFTED

1310
00:46:27,633 --> 00:46:34,000
DURING THAT MOMENT?

1311
00:46:28,233 --> 00:46:35,966
>> I DID, I FELT RELIEVED, AS

1312
00:46:30,833 --> 00:46:37,200
BAD AS I FELT, I DIDN'T WANT TO

1313
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,100
RETURN TO A SITUATION I WAS

1314
00:46:35,966 --> 00:46:42,033
PARTING WAYS WITH.

1315
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:45,866
IN THAT WAY I FELT CARRIED.

1316
00:46:40,100 --> 00:46:48,000
ED IDEA OF ASKING YOURSELF THE

1317
00:46:42,033 --> 00:46:50,733
QUESTION, HOWS A YOUR FAITH, AN

1318
00:46:45,866 --> 00:46:52,733
EXPLORATION OF FAITH AND SELF-,

1319
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:55,566
THAT REALLY DID LIFT ME.

1320
00:46:50,733 --> 00:46:57,966
THAT HELPED ME TO UNDERSTAND

1321
00:46:52,733 --> 00:47:01,200
THAT I'M NOT ALONE, THAT I HAVE

1322
00:46:55,566 --> 00:47:02,200
A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND FEEL

1323
00:46:57,966 --> 00:47:03,533
COMFORT AND STREPTD AND EVEN

1324
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,900
THROUGH HUMANITARIAN AND A

1325
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,900
SETBACK THERE IS A LOT MORE

1326
00:47:03,533 --> 00:47:10,133
THERE.

1327
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:11,166
>> ONCE YOU SEE SOMEONE ON

1328
00:47:07,900 --> 00:47:13,133
TELEVISION IN A HIGH PROFILE JOB

1329
00:47:10,133 --> 00:47:14,966
LIKE HOSTING "MEET THE PRESS"

1330
00:47:11,166 --> 00:47:17,300
AND THE PERSON SEEMS SO TOGETHER

1331
00:47:13,133 --> 00:47:19,833
AND EVERYBODY HAS A BACK STORY,

1332
00:47:14,966 --> 00:47:20,866
AND YOU WRITE ABOUT ONE DAY, IN

1333
00:47:17,300 --> 00:47:22,733
APRIL OF 1986.

1334
00:47:19,833 --> 00:47:25,400
TELL US.

1335
00:47:20,866 --> 00:47:27,766
>> MY MOTHER WAS AN ALCOHOLIC

1336
00:47:22,733 --> 00:47:31,033
AND SHE, SHS NOT LIKE SHE WAS A

1337
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:32,533
FALLING DOWN DRUNK BUT PART OF

1338
00:47:27,766 --> 00:47:34,200
THE BACKDROP AND WHEN HER LIVE

1339
00:47:31,033 --> 00:47:36,100
STARTED TO FRAY AND PERSONAL

1340
00:47:32,533 --> 00:47:37,900
RELATIONSHIPS AND HER WORK SHE

1341
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:40,666
DID LOSE CONTROL AND I WAS IN

1342
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:42,933
SPEECH AND DEBATE WHEN I WAS 15

1343
00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:45,933
AND I WAS AT A TOURNAMENT, AND I

1344
00:47:40,666 --> 00:47:48,166
SPOKE AND WON AND MY...

1345
00:47:42,933 --> 00:47:49,966
>> YOU SPOKE WITH OPTIMISM?

1346
00:47:45,933 --> 00:47:52,333
>> RIGHT.

1347
00:47:48,166 --> 00:47:54,633
AND MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING ME

1348
00:47:49,966 --> 00:47:56,133
HOME AND MY SPEECH COACH AND A

1349
00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:57,000
FRIEND OF MY MOTHERS AND SHE WAS

1350
00:47:54,633 --> 00:47:58,366
PULLED OVER AND ARRESTED FOR

1351
00:47:56,133 --> 00:47:59,133
DRUNK DRIVING.

1352
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,266
IT WAS A DIFFERENT MOMMY OR HER

1353
00:47:58,366 --> 00:48:03,000
AND FOR ME.

1354
00:47:59,133 --> 00:48:04,400
AND I WRITE ABOUT THAT IN THE

1355
00:48:01,266 --> 00:48:06,433
CONTEXT OF HOW I DIDN'T HAVE

1356
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:10,333
FAITH.

1357
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:12,633
AT THAT PART OF MY LIFE.

1358
00:48:06,433 --> 00:48:13,033
AND THAT I WISH I HAD HAD A

1359
00:48:10,333 --> 00:48:15,200
GREATER SENSE OF BELIEF AND

1360
00:48:12,633 --> 00:48:17,733
COMFORT.

1361
00:48:13,033 --> 00:48:19,800
IT WAS AN EMBARRASSING AND CON

1362
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:22,066
USING TIME IN MY LIFE.

1363
00:48:17,733 --> 00:48:24,833
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS MY MOTHER

1364
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:27,566
GOT SOBER AND REDEEMED HER LIFE.

1365
00:48:22,066 --> 00:48:29,966
BUT I THINK FOR ME BEING ON A

1366
00:48:24,833 --> 00:48:31,800
PATH OF SPIRITUAL EXPLORATION, I

1367
00:48:27,566 --> 00:48:32,866
GO BACK AND SAY, I REALLY COULD

1368
00:48:29,966 --> 00:48:34,766
HAVE USED MY FAITH IN A DEEPER

1369
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,366
FAITH BACK THEN.

1370
00:48:32,866 --> 00:48:37,233
>> AND THIS IS A QUESTION OF

1371
00:48:34,766 --> 00:48:39,666
FAITH.

1372
00:48:35,366 --> 00:48:40,966
AND WRITE ALSO A QUESTION OF

1373
00:48:37,233 --> 00:48:42,733
HERE WAS A FAMILY SECRET, YOUR

1374
00:48:39,666 --> 00:48:45,566
MOTHER'S ALCOHOLISM AND NOW

1375
00:48:40,966 --> 00:48:48,100
BECAUSE YOU HAD THIS TEACHER IN

1376
00:48:42,733 --> 00:48:50,833
THE CAR WITH YOU, AN ADVISOR,

1377
00:48:45,566 --> 00:48:51,500
SHE SAW THE SECRET AND IT WAS

1378
00:48:48,100 --> 00:48:55,266
ONE THAT YOU AND YOUR SISTER

1379
00:48:50,833 --> 00:48:58,233
CARRIED.

1380
00:48:51,500 --> 00:49:04,266
THAT WAS A BY VOTAL MOMENT?

1381
00:48:55,266 --> 00:49:06,433
>>-- BY VITAL MOMENT?

1382
00:48:58,233 --> 00:49:08,766
>> AND THIS WAS THE PREOPRAH

1383
00:49:04,266 --> 00:49:11,833
PERIOD, AND IT IS STILL NOT

1384
00:49:06,433 --> 00:49:14,500
COMFORTABLE TO ASK PEOPLE ABOUT

1385
00:49:08,766 --> 00:49:16,800
AN ADDICTION, BUT YOU SPEND SO

1386
00:49:11,833 --> 00:49:18,466
MUCH TIME COVERING IT UP, AND SO

1387
00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:21,100
MUCH TIME KEEPING AID SECRET AND

1388
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:22,733
THAT WAS IN THE A RELIEF, BUT A

1389
00:49:18,466 --> 00:49:24,700
SENSE OF SHOCK, THAT I CAN'T

1390
00:49:21,100 --> 00:49:25,166
KEEP MY ARMS AROUND TO ANY MORE

1391
00:49:22,733 --> 00:49:26,700
AND I HAVE TO COME TO GRIPS WITH

1392
00:49:24,700 --> 00:49:28,500
IT.

1393
00:49:25,166 --> 00:49:29,033
AND THAT WAS HARD.

1394
00:49:26,700 --> 00:49:30,966
WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A

1395
00:49:28,500 --> 00:49:33,800
JOURNALIST.

1396
00:49:29,033 --> 00:49:35,700
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BACKGROUND

1397
00:49:30,966 --> 00:49:38,266
AND CHILDHOOD WAS SOMEWHAT

1398
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:41,933
CHAOTIC, ASPECTS WERE, AND YOU

1399
00:49:35,700 --> 00:49:43,000
HAD THIS SECRET AND YOU WERE

1400
00:49:38,266 --> 00:49:44,866
NEEDING STRUCTURE, AND HOW DID

1401
00:49:41,933 --> 00:49:46,700
JOURNALISM PREPT ITSELF?

1402
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:49,700
MPLGTD I WOULD SAY, MY LIFE

1403
00:49:44,866 --> 00:49:52,466
OVERALL WAS VERY GOOD.

1404
00:49:46,700 --> 00:49:54,666
I HAVE DIFFICULT PATCHES BUT

1405
00:49:49,700 --> 00:49:56,500
DURING THIS FEELING ADRIFT AND

1406
00:49:52,466 --> 00:49:58,400
YOU KNOW LOST, WHAT I WANTED TO

1407
00:49:54,666 --> 00:49:59,766
WAS TO TRANSFORM MYSELF AND I

1408
00:49:56,500 --> 00:50:01,000
WANTED TO ESCAPE AND FOR ME

1409
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,900
WATCHING TELEVISION NEWS WAS MY

1410
00:49:59,766 --> 00:50:05,333
FORM OF ESCAPE.

1411
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:08,333
I FOUND MY AMBITION AND SEE

1412
00:50:03,900 --> 00:50:10,533
DIEDED I WILL BECOME THIS

1413
00:50:05,333 --> 00:50:12,400
PERSON, I WILL BECOME A TV

1414
00:50:08,333 --> 00:50:13,866
JOURNALISTIST WHO CAN TRAVEL THE

1415
00:50:10,533 --> 00:50:17,400
WORLD AND TELL STORIES, AND

1416
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:18,666
CHANGE WHO I AM TODAY.

1417
00:50:13,866 --> 00:50:21,300
WHEN I WAS 15 I BECAME VERY

1418
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:22,866
AMBITIOUS AND MY FATHER PLAYED A

1419
00:50:18,666 --> 00:50:24,233
BIG ROLE, HELPING ME PLOT OUT

1420
00:50:21,300 --> 00:50:26,600
THINK CAREER, AND I WAS ON THE

1421
00:50:22,866 --> 00:50:28,466
AIR WHEN I WAS 18.

1422
00:50:24,233 --> 00:50:30,566
>> SO YOU ARE 26 AND YOU MEET A

1423
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:31,600
WOMAN AND YOU DO GET MARRIED AND

1424
00:50:28,466 --> 00:50:34,233
SHE WAS RAISED METHODIST.

1425
00:50:30,566 --> 00:50:37,200
>> YES.

1426
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:40,233
AND YOU WERE EXPLORING YOUR

1427
00:50:34,233 --> 00:50:41,800
JEWISH BACKGROUND AND POTENTIAL

1428
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:43,100
FOR A GREATER IMMERSION IN

1429
00:50:40,233 --> 00:50:43,866
JEWISH BELIEFS AND YOU DECIDED

1430
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,000
TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN AS

1431
00:50:43,100 --> 00:50:47,433
SCREWISH.

1432
00:50:43,866 --> 00:50:49,000
IT SOUNDS FINE IN THEORY BUT NOT

1433
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:51,400
THAT EASY ON YOUR WIFE?

1434
00:50:47,433 --> 00:50:52,900
>> INTERESTINGLY, I LIVED HERE

1435
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,966
WHEN I MET MY WIFE, SHE

1436
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,700
PROSECUTED THE OKLAHOMA CITY

1437
00:50:52,900 --> 00:50:57,766
BOMBERS THIS DENVER.

1438
00:50:53,966 --> 00:50:59,766
A BIG PART OF THAT WAS FLYING

1439
00:50:55,700 --> 00:51:01,433
BACK AND FORTH FROM O'HARE TO

1440
00:50:57,766 --> 00:51:03,833
DENVER, AND ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

1441
00:50:59,766 --> 00:51:05,300
RUNNING OUT TO THE AIRPORT.

1442
00:51:01,433 --> 00:51:07,333
WE AGREED WE COULD AND JEWISH

1443
00:51:03,833 --> 00:51:09,466
FAMILY BUT SHE CHALLENGED ME TO

1444
00:51:05,300 --> 00:51:10,700
DIG DEEPER INTO WHAT I BELIEVED.

1445
00:51:07,333 --> 00:51:14,566
AND THE ENTIRE FAITH PATH HAS

1446
00:51:09,466 --> 00:51:16,900
BEEN UP AND DOWN.

1447
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:18,933
A LOT OF GOOD PARTS BUT SHE GAVE

1448
00:51:14,566 --> 00:51:20,800
UP HER FAITH, IN NERMS OF

1449
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:21,433
SHARING THOSE WITH HER KIDS AND

1450
00:51:18,933 --> 00:51:24,833
I THINK SHE HAS REGRETS ABOUT

1451
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:26,833
THAT.

1452
00:51:21,433 --> 00:51:27,200
AND SHE FEELS A BIGGER SENSE OF

1453
00:51:24,833 --> 00:51:29,233
LOSS THAN SHE THOUGHT THEY

1454
00:51:26,833 --> 00:51:31,466
WOULD.

1455
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:32,633
AND I WAS SELFISH ABOUT IT, I

1456
00:51:29,233 --> 00:51:35,066
DON'T THINK I WAS A FAITH FILLED

1457
00:51:31,466 --> 00:51:37,900
ENOUGH PERSON TO UNDERSTAND WHAT

1458
00:51:32,633 --> 00:51:40,000
THE LOSS WAS LIKE.

1459
00:51:35,066 --> 00:51:42,300
AND SHE HAS REGRETS, BUT IT IS

1460
00:51:37,900 --> 00:51:44,566
AN UNEVEN PATH AND WE STILL

1461
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:46,166
STRUGGLE WITH AS WE REALLY TRIED

1462
00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:49,766
TO CREATE SOMETHING BUFT RG A

1463
00:51:44,566 --> 00:51:51,166
FAITH PRACTICE AND SPIRITUAL

1464
00:51:46,166 --> 00:51:53,166
LIFE FOR OURSELVES AND KIDS.

1465
00:51:49,766 --> 00:51:57,166
>> COULD YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE

1466
00:51:51,166 --> 00:51:59,200
CASE OR TRY TO MAKE THE CASE TO

1467
00:51:53,166 --> 00:52:01,600
FRIENDS OF YOURS WHO MIGHT BE

1468
00:51:57,166 --> 00:52:02,900
ATHEISTS ORING A HOSTICS ABOUT

1469
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:09,866
THE EXISTENCE OF GOD?

1470
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:11,933
MPLGTSDS NOT REALLY.

1471
00:52:02,900 --> 00:52:14,366
I'M NOT HEAR TO WIN A DEBATE.

1472
00:52:09,866 --> 00:52:15,433
>> WHEN I SAY TO PEOPLE, I THINK

1473
00:52:11,933 --> 00:52:16,800
THE QUESTION HOW'S YOUR FAITH IS

1474
00:52:14,366 --> 00:52:18,133
IMPORTANT.

1475
00:52:15,433 --> 00:52:19,966
DO YOU HAVE THE FAITH THAT YOU

1476
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:22,233
HAD AS A KID.

1477
00:52:18,133 --> 00:52:22,533
HAS IT BEEN THERE FOR YOU WHEN

1478
00:52:19,966 --> 00:52:24,833
YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH SOMETHING

1479
00:52:22,233 --> 00:52:28,566
HARD.

1480
00:52:22,533 --> 00:52:31,000
I HAVE BEEN ON THIS EXPLORATION,

1481
00:52:24,833 --> 00:52:32,033
ARE NO BETTER THAN YOUR ANSWERS

1482
00:52:28,566 --> 00:52:34,000
I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITH WORK

1483
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,666
WITH THE QUESTION.

1484
00:52:32,033 --> 00:52:36,533
THIS IS WHAT IT HAS MEANT TO MY

1485
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,333
LIFE AND THAT IS WHAT THE BOOK

1486
00:52:35,666 --> 00:52:40,500
IS ABOUT.

1487
00:52:36,533 --> 00:52:41,366
SO IS YOUR FAITH RIGHT NOW?

1488
00:52:38,333 --> 00:52:42,866
>> I WOULD SAY IT IS STRONG AND

1489
00:52:40,500 --> 00:52:45,300
GETTING STRONGER.

1490
00:52:41,366 --> 00:52:47,500
ONE THING THAT FAITH TAUGHT ME

1491
00:52:42,866 --> 00:52:49,566
IS NOT ONLY THE POWER OF LOVE,

1492
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:52,300
IN MY LIFE AND A RELATIONSHIP

1493
00:52:47,500 --> 00:52:54,400
WITH GOD, BUT ALSO UNDERSTANDING

1494
00:52:49,566 --> 00:52:56,933
THAT I FEEL LIKE I'M AMS IN

1495
00:52:52,300 --> 00:52:59,366
TRANSITION, WHO I AM TODAY WITH

1496
00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:02,700
YOU IS STILL, ON THIS PATH ON

1497
00:52:56,933 --> 00:53:03,666
BECOME WHOG GOD INTENDS ME TO DO

1498
00:52:59,366 --> 00:53:05,266
BE, A LOT OF PERSONAL FLAWS AND

1499
00:53:02,700 --> 00:53:06,700
CASHINGISTICS THAT I POYT WITH

1500
00:53:03,666 --> 00:53:09,466
AND I'M STILL ON THE PATH OF

1501
00:53:05,266 --> 00:53:10,833
TRYING TO GET BETTER AND BE

1502
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:12,166
BETTER, AND ALL THE WHILE,

1503
00:53:09,466 --> 00:53:13,333
FEELING THE LOVE OF A

1504
00:53:10,833 --> 00:53:16,500
RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND A

1505
00:53:12,166 --> 00:53:18,266
DEEPER FAITH.

1506
00:53:13,333 --> 00:53:20,866
>> LET'S SWITCH TOPICS.

1507
00:53:16,500 --> 00:53:22,266
LOOKING AT THE PRESIDENTIAL

1508
00:53:18,266 --> 00:53:24,200
RACE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS,

1509
00:53:20,866 --> 00:53:24,900
WHO DO YOU EXPECT TO SEE IN THE

1510
00:53:22,266 --> 00:53:26,833
RUNNING WHEN IT COMES TO THE

1511
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:28,433
RESPECTIVE PARTIES?

1512
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:29,533
>> I THINK THERE IS A REAL,

1513
00:53:26,833 --> 00:53:33,366
THERE IS A LOT OF APGNER THE

1514
00:53:28,433 --> 00:53:34,233
COUNTRY AND THE MOOD IN THE

1515
00:53:29,533 --> 00:53:37,833
COUNTRY IS ANTI-WASHINGTON, AND

1516
00:53:33,366 --> 00:53:38,966
ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT.

1517
00:53:34,233 --> 00:53:42,933
SO I THINK YOU ARE LIKELY TO SEE

1518
00:53:37,833 --> 00:53:43,633
ESPECIALLY ON THE REPUBLICAN

1519
00:53:38,966 --> 00:53:44,566
SIDE, SOME FIGURE WHO IS JUST

1520
00:53:42,933 --> 00:53:47,266
ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT FIGURE WHO

1521
00:53:43,633 --> 00:53:49,433
WILL GO PRETTY FAR.

1522
00:53:44,566 --> 00:53:49,900
WHETHER THAT IS TRUMP OR CARSON

1523
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:50,633
OR CARLY FIORINA, I DON'T KNOW.

1524
00:53:49,433 --> 00:53:52,900
CRUZ?

1525
00:53:49,900 --> 00:53:54,266
>> COULD BE.

1526
00:53:50,633 --> 00:53:56,333
I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS A REMAN

1527
00:53:52,900 --> 00:53:57,666
CANDLE DISTIN TO DO SO BURN OUT

1528
00:53:54,266 --> 00:53:59,900
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TAKED THE

1529
00:53:56,333 --> 00:54:02,466
AIR OUT OF THAT BALLOON.

1530
00:53:57,666 --> 00:54:03,700
THERE IS SO MUCH DISARRAY WITHIN

1531
00:53:59,900 --> 00:54:05,366
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, THERE IS A

1532
00:54:02,466 --> 00:54:08,300
LONG WAY TO GO.

1533
00:54:03,700 --> 00:54:08,800
HILLARY CLINTON IS FORMIDABLE

1534
00:54:05,366 --> 00:54:12,966
BUT ALSO HAS A LOT OF VELNER

1535
00:54:08,300 --> 00:54:14,500
BUILTS.

1536
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:16,300
AND IF YOU ARE JOE BIDEN YOU ARE

1537
00:54:12,966 --> 00:54:17,666
PROBABLY MORE TEMPTED THAN EVER

1538
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:20,000
TO GET IN BECAUSE THERE IS A

1539
00:54:16,300 --> 00:54:24,100
REAL PLACE.

1540
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:27,866
>> THIS IS, I HOPE THIS IS NOT

1541
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:29,933
TOO MUCH COMING OUT OF MY VIEW,

1542
00:54:24,100 --> 00:54:30,366
YOU DO A WICKED TOM BROKAW.

1543
00:54:27,866 --> 00:54:33,800
WOULD YOU CARE TO GRACE BECAUSE

1544
00:54:29,933 --> 00:54:35,900
PERFORMANCE?

1545
00:54:30,366 --> 00:54:38,533
>> I DID A, I TELL YOU A STORY,

1546
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:40,166
WHEN I WAS AT THE BUSH RANCH

1547
