233
00:06:48,233 --> 00:06:57,066
BECAUSE THE CHICAGO DEPARTMENT

234
00:06:49,233 --> 00:06:58,066

00:09:54,566 --> 00:09:58,266
PRESIDENT MUST STAY OUT OF IT,

324
00:09:55,766 --> 00:09:58,933
MUST NOT UNDER ANY WORD. THE

325
00:09:57,033 --> 00:10:00,066
APPEARANCE HAD TO BE THAT IT'S

326
00:09:58,266 --> 00:10:01,366
TOTALLY INDEPENDENT. AND

327
00:09:58,933 --> 00:10:03,133
PARTIALLY BECAUSE THE

328
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:05,300
COORDINATED REPUBLICAN

329
00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:06,733

NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS,  HAS BEEN

331
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:09,466
TO, LIKE DONALD TRUMP, CALL IT

332
00:10:06,733 --> 00:10:11,333
A WITCH HUNT, SAY IT'S A BIDEN

333
00:10:08,266 --> 00:10:13,266
AND DEMOCRAT DOJ THAT'S JUST

334
00:10:09,466 --> 00:10:17,566

335
00:10:11,333 --> 00:10:18,800
OPPONENT AWAY IN JAIL , WHEN

336
00:10:13,266 --> 00:10:20,000
IT'S EASY TO JUST  -- NOT FALL

337
00:10:17,566 --> 00:10:20,833
APART RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS A

338
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800
GRAND JURY OF CITIZENS IN

339
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,933
MIAMI. THEY RETURNED THE

340
00:10:20,833 --> 00:10:26,233
VERDICT. A SPECIAL COUNSEL HAS

341
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:27,366
BEEN GIVEN FREE REIGN TO

342
00:10:22,933 --> 00:10:28,266
INVESTIGATE AND BRING CHARGES

343
00:10:26,233 --> 00:10:29,400
BY THE U.S. ATTORNEY, MERRICK

344
00:10:27,366 --> 00:10:30,533
GARLAND. AND WE SHOULD MENTION,

345
00:10:28,266 --> 00:10:34,533
THE FBI, THAT'S CONDUCTED BY

346
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:36,100

347
00:10:30,533 --> 00:10:37,166
WRAY.  SO  LIKE WITH SOME OF

348
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:38,100
THE QUOTE UNQUOTE STOLEN

349
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:39,233
ELECTION CASES,  THERE WAS

350
00:10:37,166 --> 00:10:42,100
REALLY NEVER ANY LEGAL

351
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:43,633
STRATEGY. IT WAS A PR STRATEGY.

352
00:10:39,233 --> 00:10:45,100
THAT'S THE STRATEGY HERE.  AND

353
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:47,000
IF YOU LOOK AT THE INDICTMENT,

354
00:10:43,633 --> 00:10:48,200
WE'VE ALL SEEN LOTS OF

355
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:52,366
POLITICAL INDICTMENTS . I DON'T

356
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,566
THINK I'VE EVER SEEN ANYONE

357
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:54,533
WHERE THE EVIDENCE  IS AS CUT

358
00:10:52,366 --> 00:10:58,633
AND DRY AS THIS. USUALLY, THIS

359
00:10:53,566 --> 00:11:00,166
KIND OF INDICTMENT ARE VERY

360
00:10:54,533 --> 00:11:00,933
COLLOCATED. THEY'RE COMPLEX.

361
00:10:58,633 --> 00:11:03,100
YOU HAD TO TAKE A JURY THROUGH

362
00:11:00,166 --> 00:11:04,266
SOME REALLY COMPLEX THINGS.

363
00:11:00,933 --> 00:11:05,766
THIS ONE, NOT SO MUCH BETWEEN

364
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:06,866
ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU ALSO

365
00:11:04,266 --> 00:11:08,200
DON'T SEE A LOT IS, YOU KNOW,

366
00:11:05,766 --> 00:11:09,166
THE FACT THAT HE RAISED MORE

367
00:11:06,866 --> 00:11:10,000
THAN $2 MILLION RIGHT AFTER HIS

368
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,800
ARRAIGNMENT. HE HEADED TO NEW

369
00:11:09,166 --> 00:11:13,466

370
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:16,233
AMANDA?

371
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:17,966

372
00:11:13,466 --> 00:11:20,833
FUNDRAISER. I'VE GOT TO SAY,

373
00:11:16,233 --> 00:11:22,200
POLITICIANS, RIGHT?  RIGHT

374
00:11:17,966 --> 00:11:23,400
AWAY,  HE'S BEEN TRYING TO GET

375
00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:24,633
MONEY OFF OF THIS. AND

376
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:31,966
SUCCEEDING.  THIS IS SOMETHING

377
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:33,033
THAT WORKS WITH HIS CROWD,

378
00:11:24,633 --> 00:11:34,000
PLAYING THE VICTIM.  IT

379
00:11:31,966 --> 00:11:35,133
DEFINITELY, I THINK, PART OF

380
00:11:33,033 --> 00:11:36,766
ALSO HIS STRATEGY, AS PARIS

381
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,566
NOTED, IT'S NOT JUST IN THE

382
00:11:35,133 --> 00:11:38,500
COURTROOM,  IT IS OUTSIDE THE

383
00:11:36,766 --> 00:11:39,700
COURTROOM. IT IS TRYING TO WIN

384
00:11:37,566 --> 00:11:41,833
OVER PUBLIC SENTIMENT, MAKE

385
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:43,433
SURE HIS BASES ON HIS SIDE,

386
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:45,533
KEEPING AS MANY AS POSSIBLE  OF

387
00:11:41,833 --> 00:11:46,533
THE OTHER GOP CONTENDERS, BY

388
00:11:43,433 --> 00:11:47,900
THE WAY,  FROM SPEAKING OUT

389
00:11:45,533 --> 00:11:55,133
AGAINST THEM, WHICH THUS FAR,

390
00:11:46,533 --> 00:11:56,700
MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN. CAREFUL

391
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:57,266
NOT TO DO.  NOT BY MUCH.

392
00:11:55,133 --> 00:12:00,133
>> SOME OF THE OPPONENTS --

393
00:11:56,700 --> 00:12:01,433
>> SOME HAVE, YEAH.

394
00:11:57,266 --> 00:12:02,133
>> THIS IS A SERIOUS -- BUT

395
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:03,333
NIKKI HALEY HAS STARTED TO MAKE

396
00:12:01,433 --> 00:12:04,333
SOME COMMENT, BUT AGAIN,

397
00:12:02,133 --> 00:12:09,033
THEY'RE REALLY SORT OF BEING

398
00:12:03,333 --> 00:12:10,466
CAREFUL, HE REMAINS THE

399
00:12:04,333 --> 00:12:11,933
FRONT-RUNNER.  ALSO, WANT TO

400
00:12:09,033 --> 00:12:12,933
QUICKLY ADD, IT'S EASY FOR HIM

401
00:12:10,466 --> 00:12:13,933
TO DO THIS AT THIS POINT, IS,

402
00:12:11,933 --> 00:12:14,733
BECAUSE CAMERAS ARE NOT ALLOWED

403
00:12:12,933 --> 00:12:15,566
IN THE COURTROOM. THIS IS

404
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:17,033
SOMETHING THAT THE JOURNALISTS

405
00:12:14,733 --> 00:12:18,066
THINK IS REALLY SIGNIFICANT FOR

406
00:12:15,566 --> 00:12:22,133
US. THERE IS NO AUDIO, THERE'S

407
00:12:17,033 --> 00:12:23,466
NO VIDEO OF HIS BEHAVIOR, AND

408
00:12:18,066 --> 00:12:24,600
AT THIS POINT, THERE WON'T BE ,

409
00:12:22,133 --> 00:12:26,166
AT LEAST FOR A JUDGES RULING.

410
00:12:23,466 --> 00:12:27,000
>> WHATEVER THEY SAY IN COURT,

411
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,533
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY

412
00:12:26,166 --> 00:12:28,500
RESEMBLANCE TO WHAT TRUMP IS

413
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,900
SAYING PUBLICLY.

414
00:12:27,533 --> 00:12:32,133
>> AND THERE ARE SOME REPORTERS

415
00:12:28,500 --> 00:12:34,433
IN THE COURTROOM. VERY LIMITED.

416
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:35,233
BUT WE'RE GETTING THAT

417
00:12:32,133 --> 00:12:36,033
INFORMATION FROM THEM.

418
00:12:34,433 --> 00:12:37,100
HEATHER, MOST REPUBLICANS ARE

419
00:12:35,233 --> 00:12:42,433
SAYING THE CHARGES ARE ALL

420
00:12:36,033 --> 00:12:43,800
POLITICAL. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT

421
00:12:37,100 --> 00:12:44,900
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP  COULD

422
00:12:42,433 --> 00:12:46,166
GET OUT OF THIS, DEPENDING ON

423
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,300
THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION?

424
00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:47,633
THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT

425
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:48,833
LONGER THAN THE ELECTION WILL

426
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,900
PUT

427
00:12:47,633 --> 00:12:50,966
>> SURE. IT IS VERY UNLIKELY

428
00:12:48,833 --> 00:12:52,400
THAT HE WILL STAND TRIAL BEFORE

429
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:53,066
THE MEMBER 2024 ELECTION, WHICH

430
00:12:50,966 --> 00:12:53,800
MEANS THAT THE OUTCOME OF THAT

431
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,400
ELECTION WILL ESSENTIALLY

432
00:12:53,066 --> 00:13:01,866
DETERMINE WHETHER HE STANDS

433
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:02,466
TRIAL AT ALL, BECAUSE AS

434
00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:03,466
PRESIDENT,  HE WOULD HAVE THE

435
00:13:01,866 --> 00:13:05,033
AUTHORITY TO DIRECT THE

436
00:13:02,466 --> 00:13:05,900
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND SAY,

437
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:07,200
HEY, WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT

438
00:13:05,033 --> 00:13:08,433
ANYMORE, AND JUST WIPE THE

439
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:10,066
SLATE CLEAN. WHICH I THINK

440
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,133
GIVES YOU A SENSE OF JUST HOW

441
00:13:08,433 --> 00:13:12,166
MUCH WILL BE AT STAKE FOR THE

442
00:13:10,066 --> 00:13:13,833
RULE OF LAW AND FOR DEMOCRACY

443
00:13:11,133 --> 00:13:15,533
IN THIS UPCOMING ELECTION. BUT

444
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:16,866
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE

445
00:13:13,833 --> 00:13:18,300
THAT WHILE IT MIGHT HELP HIM

446
00:13:15,533 --> 00:13:19,733
RAISE MONEY AND SORT OF, YOU

447
00:13:16,866 --> 00:13:22,500
KNOW, BOOST HIM IN THE POLLS IN

448
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:23,100
THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY, THERE'S

449
00:13:19,733 --> 00:13:24,200
NO EVIDENCE  THAT THIS IS A

450
00:13:22,500 --> 00:13:26,033
WINNING STRATEGY WITH

451
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:28,600
INDEPENDENTS OR MODERATES OR

452
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,766
DEMOCRATS , AND AS WE ALL KNOW,

453
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:30,933
HE LOST THE 2020 ELECTION,  AND

454
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,033
THAT WAS BEFORE HE WAS ACCUSED

455
00:13:29,766 --> 00:13:35,266
OF FOMENTING AN INSURRECTION

456
00:13:30,933 --> 00:13:40,800
AND STEALING CLASSIFIED NUCLEAR

457
00:13:32,033 --> 00:13:42,066
SECRETS  AND, OH YES, BEING

458
00:13:35,266 --> 00:13:42,733
CHARGED FOR PAYING OFF A,

459
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,366
ADULT FILM STAR. SO NO SMALL

460
00:13:42,066 --> 00:13:45,066
AMOUNT OF NEWS.

461
00:13:42,733 --> 00:13:45,933
>> ALL OF THIS REFERRING TO THE

462
00:13:44,366 --> 00:13:46,700
FORMER PRESIDENT. AMANDA,

463
00:13:45,066 --> 00:13:48,233
BRIEFLY BEFORE WE MOVE ON,

464
00:13:45,933 --> 00:13:51,533
FORMER GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE

465
00:13:46,700 --> 00:13:52,533
DAN BAILEY HAS BEEN THE FUND

466
00:13:48,233 --> 00:13:53,600
ROLE . WHAT YOU MAKE OF THAT?

467
00:13:51,533 --> 00:13:56,466
>> IT'S INTERESTING, BECAUSE I

468
00:13:52,533 --> 00:13:57,433
ALSO SAW BAILEY WHEN RON

469
00:13:53,600 --> 00:14:02,166
DESANTIS WAS IN  THE CHICAGO

470
00:13:56,466 --> 00:14:02,933
SUBURBS. BAILEY MADE THAT TRIP.

471
00:13:57,433 --> 00:14:03,933
BUT HE SAID EVEN THEN, NO,  I'M

472
00:14:02,166 --> 00:14:05,066
STANDING BEHIND TRUMP. TRUMP,

473
00:14:02,933 --> 00:14:06,300
OF COURSE, ENDORSED BAILEY IN

474
00:14:03,933 --> 00:14:07,866
THE GOP PRIMARY AND IN THE

475
00:14:05,066 --> 00:14:09,766
GOVERNOR'S RACE. WHAT I MAKE OF

476
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:11,466
THAT, NOT QUITE SURE WHY HE WAS

477
00:14:07,866 --> 00:14:12,600
THERE AND DOWN IN FLORIDA, BUT

478
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:13,966
WE DO KNOW THAT BAILEY IS

479
00:14:11,466 --> 00:14:15,266
TRYING TO UP HIS CREDENTIALS,

480
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,966
IS BONA FIDE -- THERE WE GO.

481
00:14:13,966 --> 00:14:19,366
TRYING TO UP HIS BONA FIDES

482
00:14:15,266 --> 00:14:20,933
WITH THE CONSERVATIVE BASE

483
00:14:17,966 --> 00:14:21,733
THAT HE ALREADY HAS PRETTY MUCH

484
00:14:19,366 --> 00:14:26,233
A RING ON AS HE LOOKS TO RUN

485
00:14:20,933 --> 00:14:27,066
AGAINST AN INCUMBENT REPUBLICAN

486
00:14:21,733 --> 00:14:28,200
IN CONGRESS, MIKE BOSSE.  HE'S

487
00:14:26,233 --> 00:14:28,600
TRYING TO OUT CONSERVATIVE

488
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,833
BOSS, AND IT APPEARS, RUN FOR

489
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,033
CONGRESS.

490
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,700
>> RIGHT. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

491
00:14:29,833 --> 00:14:39,000
LET'S QUICKLY TALK ABOUT THE

492
00:14:31,033 --> 00:14:40,100
POLITICAL ASPECT OF THE

493
00:14:31,700 --> 00:14:41,000
UPCOMING NASCAR RACE.  HEATHER,

494
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,966
ENORMOUS PUBLIC EVENT LIKE

495
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,966
THIS, ARE THESE NIGHTMARES FOR

496
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,866
POLITICIANS BECAUSE OF ALL THE

497
00:14:41,966 --> 00:14:45,600
HEADACHES THAT WE KNOW THEY'RE

498
00:14:42,966 --> 00:14:46,566
GOING TO CAUSE THE

499
00:14:43,866 --> 00:14:47,600
>> SO IT IS HIGH RISK AND HIGH

500
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,633
REWARD, BECAUSE IT ALL GOES AS

501
00:14:46,566 --> 00:14:49,900
PLANNED, AS WE WERE ASSURED

502
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,700
TODAY THAT IT WILL, CHICAGO

503
00:14:48,633 --> 00:14:51,900
WILL GET TWO DAYS IN THE

504
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:53,966
NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT, AND THERE

505
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:55,533
WILL BE GREAT SHOTS OF GRANT

506
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:56,633
PARK AND THE SKYLINE , AND

507
00:14:53,966 --> 00:14:57,533
EVERYBODY WILL BE ABLE TO SEE

508
00:14:55,533 --> 00:14:58,300
WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE CHICAGO

509
00:14:56,633 --> 00:15:02,133
IS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMER.

510
00:14:57,533 --> 00:15:04,566
HOWEVER, IF THERE ARE PROBLEMS,

511
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:07,133
IF THERE ARE  INCIDENTS,  IF

512
00:15:02,133 --> 00:15:13,233
THE TRACK DOES NOT WORK AS THEY

513
00:15:04,566 --> 00:15:14,600
EXPECT, THAT  -- YEAH.  THAT IS

514
00:15:07,133 --> 00:15:15,433
A REALLY HIGH RISK.  NOT JUST

515
00:15:13,233 --> 00:15:17,300
FOR THE CITY, BUT ALSO FOR

516
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,800
NASCAR, WHICH, YOU KNOW, IS

517
00:15:15,433 --> 00:15:19,966
REALLY SORT OF ON TRIAL,

518
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:21,033
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO HOST THIS

519
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,033
RACE FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS,

520
00:15:19,966 --> 00:15:23,866
BUT IF THIS ONE DOESN'T GO

521
00:15:21,033 --> 00:15:24,933
WELL, I IMAGINE THAT BRANDON

522
00:15:22,033 --> 00:15:26,433
JOHNSON, THE MAYOR,  WILL THINK

523
00:15:23,866 --> 00:15:33,300
VERY CLOSELY ABOUT FIGHTING

524
00:15:24,933 --> 00:15:35,166
THEM BACK FOR THE NEXT TWO.

525
00:15:26,433 --> 00:15:36,433
>>  I FEEL LIKE, AND NOT, I

526
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:38,000
DON'T NEED TO, LIKE -- I WENT

527
00:15:35,166 --> 00:15:39,066
ON THE TRACK, AND IT WAS A LOT

528
00:15:36,433 --> 00:15:39,933
OF FUN, AND I MET FOR NASCAR

529
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,433
PEOPLE, AND I WAS VERY

530
00:15:39,066 --> 00:15:42,200
SKEPTICAL AT FIRST, AND I'VE

531
00:15:39,933 --> 00:15:43,533
COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE

532
00:15:41,433 --> 00:15:44,666
CITY DOES NEED BIG EVENTS,

533
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,966
BECAUSE TOURISM IS A HUGE PART

534
00:15:43,533 --> 00:15:48,833
OF THE ECONOMY. WE NEED EVENTS

535
00:15:44,666 --> 00:15:50,233
TO DRAW TOURISM. WE'RE NOT NEW

536
00:15:45,966 --> 00:15:51,000
YORK, WE'RE NOT L.A.  WE'RE NOT

537
00:15:48,833 --> 00:15:52,033
JUST GOING TO GET ALL THE

538
00:15:50,233 --> 00:15:53,033
PEOPLE HERE WITHOUT SOMETHING

539
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,900
TO COME SEE LIKE LOLLAPALOOZA.

540
00:15:52,033 --> 00:15:55,133
SO THERE HAS TO BE ENCUMBRANCE

541
00:15:53,033 --> 00:15:56,500
OF DISCUSSION AMONG CITY

542
00:15:53,900 --> 00:15:57,966
COUNSEL ON HOW TO BRING THE

543
00:15:55,133 --> 00:16:00,166
VENT HERE, HOW TO STAGE THEM,

544
00:15:56,500 --> 00:16:01,133
AND BALANCE THE INTEREST OF THE

545
00:15:57,966 --> 00:16:01,933
RESIDENTS,  AS THESE THINGS

546
00:16:00,166 --> 00:16:06,766
KEEP HAPPENING HAPHAZARDLY,

547
00:16:01,133 --> 00:16:08,166
LIKE WE MENTIONED EARLIER. THIS

548
00:16:01,933 --> 00:16:08,600
POPPED UP OUT OF NOWHERE.  SO

549
00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:10,033
THERE HAS TO BE SOME KIND OF

550
00:16:08,166 --> 00:16:11,166
COMP PLAN.

551
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,266
>> NOT THAT WE'LL SEE HOW ALL

552
00:16:10,033 --> 00:16:13,800
OF THIS GOES DOWN AND WHETHER

553
00:16:11,166 --> 00:16:15,066
OR NOT FORMER MAYOR LIGHTFOOT

554
00:16:12,266 --> 00:16:16,600
IS A HERO COMING OUT OF THIS,

555
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:22,800

MODEL WAS JUST AN EYE-OPENING

616
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,833
THING, BECAUSE I HAD CERTAINLY

617
00:18:18,966 --> 00:18:22,666

00:18:37,766 --> 00:18:50,233

ABILITY TO GET THE JOBS THAT

641
00:19:03,266 --> 00:19:07,066
WILL THEN SHOW OFF WHAT I'VE

IMPACT THAT INCLUDES THINGS

654

ARE SKETCHING SOMETHING OUT,

656
00:19:20,666 --> 00:19:24,800

BE , INFORMING THE SUBJECT,

661

AND A SENSE OF PLACE AND TIME,

663
00:19:31,133 --> 00:19:39,066
AND THAT'S GOT TO BE FRONT OF

664
00:19:32,966 --> 00:19:39,533
MIND FOR ME, BECAUSE THAT'S THE

665
00:19:34,533 --> 00:19:40,866
