2
00:00:01.460 --> 00:00:04.020
He blown up.

3
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:34.000
Thank you all very much.

4
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:49.620
side that you want. Mayor could you tell us how you decided if everybody is ready

5
00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:54.020
how you decided that you were going to move to Cabrini-Green and actually live

6
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:58.200
there? Well I think in the past two weeks as we've traveled back and forth in and

7
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:04.920
Cabrini-Green I thought that it was a very almost like a bandoneon whole

8
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:13.300
corner here. What is this about? Somebody had to do it. That's the whole thing. The

9
00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:18.400
city needed a rib fast and no one else had the courage and the stupidity to do

10
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:28.120
it so I did it. Can you hear back there Walter? Of coming here and watching our

11
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:34.820
great mayor light the lights that have lighted our city. We pray oh God that

12
00:01:34.820 --> 00:01:35.520
these lights

13
00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:42.280
and I am walking with the mayor and I feel happy about that.

14
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:20.840
What's the what's going what's going on here? You better talk to her. She's heading the

15
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:21.920
parade not me.

16
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.020
He's looking for a Christmas message for the folks.

17
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:04.340
A little applause now for Santa Claus. Can we clap maybe he'll come in faster down here.

18
00:04:04.900 --> 00:04:05.360
Come on now.

19
00:04:11.420 --> 00:04:14.560
Okay ladies and gentlemen on behalf of the city.

20
00:04:20.960 --> 00:04:21.020
Yeah.

21
00:04:50.960 --> 00:04:51.020
Yeah.

22
00:04:57.820 --> 00:04:57.820


23
00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:10.700
Yeah.

24
00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:11.620
Yeah.

25
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:12.280
Yeah.

26
00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:12.920
Yeah.

27
00:05:18.140 --> 00:05:18.160
Yeah.

28
00:05:49.980 --> 00:05:50.580
Yeah.

29
00:05:51.760 --> 00:05:52.160
Yeah.

30
00:05:52.160 --> 00:06:03.420
I'm not I'm not I mean very crisp but right if you to be Mary you are poor

31
00:06:03.420 --> 00:06:08.980
enough but right if you do be dismal you're rich enough. Now I'm going to be cross

32
00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:14.120
what else can I be when I live in such a world of fools Merry Christmas.

33
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:19.260
What's Christmas time is time to pay bills without money a time for finding yourself

34
00:06:19.260 --> 00:06:24.620
a year old not an hour richer if I could work my will every idiot that goes about

35
00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:28.640
with Merry Christmas on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried

36
00:06:28.640 --> 00:06:34.120
with a stake of holly through his heart uncle nephew keep Christmas in your own

37
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.960
way and let me keep it in mind you don't keep it let me leave it alone much good

38
00:06:39.960 --> 00:06:45.560
it has ever done you uncle there are many things which have made me happy.

39
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.220
Yeah.

40
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:16.980
I have nothing to say about that. How did you think the press handled the

41
00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:21.080
Republicans here. Were you happy with magazine. Do you think they were rude.

42
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:29.840
I think I just did not say I am not a member of the working force and I don't

43
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:34.460
think I better comment on why is this asking you as a citizen.

44
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:41.180
As a citizen. Yes as a citizen. Sure. Yeah I think that they yeah I think that.

45
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:05.040
Yeah.

46
00:08:06.100 --> 00:08:09.420
We are going to walk up there and we said we were going to do this last year.

47
00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:12.900
We said we were going to be down there on Wilson Avenue and we were going to have a

48
00:08:12.900 --> 00:08:18.500
problem. We said the roof was leaking. We couldn't get no money to rehab the house.

49
00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:21.500
So we were going to come down there and we were going to take the elevator right over there.

50
00:08:21.660 --> 00:08:26.620
See what I feel again. We are going to go up to the fifth floor. We are going to walk up to the secretary.

51
00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:30.680
We are going to say secretary I got a problem. I want to see the mayor.

52
00:08:31.320 --> 00:08:36.180
She's going to say wait a minute. They are going to go back. All the security going to come out and look at us.

53
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:43.340
We are going to wait. Is somebody going to come out. The mayor is going to come out and we are going to say how long I got a problem.

54
00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:02.720
It's got to be there now. That's you know that's not she'll be happy. Even this.

55
00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:06.980
I just don't want it to slip.

56
00:09:16.020 --> 00:09:17.820
Is this bike right for that way?

57
00:09:28.940 --> 00:09:33.620
Ladies and gentlemen the Gus Giordano Dance Company.

58
00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:44.540
A lot of good looking people who are willing to have their pictures taken.

59
00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:54.100
Where is Charlie Swivel? Where is J. McMullin? Where's Johnny DiArco?

60
00:09:55.180 --> 00:10:02.140
Where's Freddie Roady? We all know where Alan Dorfman is but he was one of our supporters too.

61
00:10:02.760 --> 00:10:10.540
Now let's get the good people of this city to get together and take this ball over the goal line.

62
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.920
Because we got to whip. We can do it if we can just hang on to it.

63
00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:21.560
So see that thing right over there that says stop vote fraud. Get over there and sign up for it.

64
00:10:21.560 --> 00:10:28.740
And let me say one more thing. The best ones of all are the women.

65
00:10:32.660 --> 00:10:41.640
I finished my first year of law school. I was indicted by a Cook County grand jury for assault with intent to commit murder and conspiracy there too.

66
00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:46.300
Edward Berdoljak says he was caught in the crossfire of a union squabble.

67
00:10:46.300 --> 00:10:52.480
The charges were dropped he adds when it was determined that he was taking an exam in law school on the day in question.

68
00:10:53.300 --> 00:10:55.300
But it was the first of several grand jurors.

69
00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:57.640
Good morning. Good morning Mayor.

70
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:00.120
I think it should be good.

71
00:11:00.740 --> 00:11:02.880
You okay with this morning? Yep.

72
00:11:07.160 --> 00:11:09.800
Good morning. How are you? Good. You get a fresh tan this morning?

73
00:11:10.800 --> 00:11:18.980
Thank you. We would like to dedicate this song to Mayor Jane Byrne and her daughter Kathy.

74
00:11:19.180 --> 00:11:26.100
Bridge over troubled water because at this moment I think that this song is really appropriate.

75
00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:27.480
Thank you.

76
00:11:56.940 --> 00:12:04.800
When you're weary, feeling small.

77
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:31.980
When tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all. Oh yes I will. I'm on your side.

78
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:53.180
Oh when times get rough. And friends just can't be found.

79
00:12:53.180 --> 00:13:04.300
Yeah like a bridge over troubled water.

80
00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:20.760
I will lay me down. Like a bridge over troubled water.

81
00:13:22.140 --> 00:13:29.080
I will lay me down.

82
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:46.160
When you're down and out.

83
00:13:47.680 --> 00:14:05.000
When you're on the street. And evening falls so hard.

84
00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:27.640
I'll come for you. Oh yes I will. I'll take your part. Oh when times get rough.

85
00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:34.920
I'm not going to have a fundraiser but I will have enough money to mount the campaign that I want to mount.

86
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.600
Leftover from the primary? Yes. You going to ask for new money from somebody? I doubt it.

87
00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:43.100
Would you have plenty of money to run a campaign like this? It's going to be expensive.

88
00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:47.860
Oh you don't worry about that now. That's my problem. Yes I know it is but the people would like to know about it.

89
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:51.920
Question of timing. Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and it's also your wedding anniversary. Yes.

90
00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:58.860
Congratulations. Thank you. With the greatest parade and the greatest city it's also a chance for you to launch an election campaign.

91
00:14:58.980 --> 00:15:05.120
Is that perhaps one reason you told us about it today? Well no but I wouldn't be Irish if I was.

92
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:12.540
He said my first show back in 1968, what are you doing in that room with smoke filled politicians with derby hats?

93
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:16.740
And I told him I didn't have a derby hat and I guess tonight I can tell you I still don't have a derby hat.

94
00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:18.740
Especially a black one.

95
00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:28.500
As you would have others do unto you. Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen.

96
00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:47.820
Thank you so much.

97
00:16:11.920 --> 00:16:13.480
Fellow independents.

98
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.920
I'll bet you wish you said that Studs.

99
00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:45.500
Of late I've been talking about my past as if I were around for a hundred years the old Horatio Alger and saying that I was delighted to be in the positions that I've achieved and held so far Harold.

100
00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:04.900
And to my concrete all or almost all.

101
00:17:06.040 --> 00:17:10.920
Where is Eddie? He's still here? Fast Eddie he's gone again.

102
00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:24.060
Man.

103
00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:43.800
That's that over here.

104
00:17:44.060 --> 00:17:49.560
Listen I'm serious man. Listen to these guys. The dynamite. Well he wouldn't be wasting his time if he didn't think you were.

105
00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:52.260
Right there.

106
00:17:52.540 --> 00:17:52.820
Ready.

107
00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:57.100
And I want you to play it back to me because I have my sister's tape. Are you ready. Yeah.

108
00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:59.560
I think I'm going to work.

109
00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:10.580
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony.

110
00:18:11.180 --> 00:18:15.320
Side by side on my piano keyboard.

111
00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:21.040
Oh Lord why don't we.

112
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.620
Over to the side.

113
00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:28.540
We'll end the whole thing.

114
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:52.800
We all know that people are the same wherever you go.

115
00:18:52.800 --> 00:18:58.900
There is good and bad in every world.

116
00:18:59.340 --> 00:19:11.760
And we learn to live when we learn to give each other what we need to survive together alive.

117
00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:15.260
Ebony and ivory.

118
00:19:15.260 --> 00:19:21.220
It is said to be every school child's dream to become president and sit at the desk in the Oval Office.

119
00:19:21.540 --> 00:19:24.000
And this afternoon Ronald Reagan got to do it.

120
00:19:24.460 --> 00:19:29.260
He sat in the big chair at the big desk and contemplated the big job ahead.

121
00:19:32.380 --> 00:19:37.400
I know we have to move on but Nancy and I again just want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

122
00:19:37.820 --> 00:19:39.260
This has been a wonderful day.

123
00:19:39.260 --> 00:19:42.640
I have finally decided I'm not going to wake up.

124
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:43.980
It isn't a dream.

125
00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:47.040
Really happened.

126
00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:49.820
But again God bless you all.

127
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:19.540
I'm trying to find the advanced tech.

128
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:54.600
The mayor's comment was that you controlled the referee.

129
00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:58.340
I'm going to tell you something the man is getting smarter every day.

130
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:03.520
Politics bean ball or softball?

131
00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:06.480
Yes.

132
00:21:10.260 --> 00:21:11.680
Where is the rest of your team?

133
00:21:13.540 --> 00:21:15.880
The 29 is here where is the 29 where is the 21?

134
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:17.820
The 21 is going to play in the press tonight.

135
00:21:17.820 --> 00:21:19.480
I know but the whole council.

136
00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:20.700
Where is the...

137
00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:22.000
Oh well let's see.

138
00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:23.120
The street is here.

139
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:24.920
Bad knees.

140
00:21:26.460 --> 00:21:27.620
Remember we talked about that.

141
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.540
We both got bad knees.

142
00:21:28.560 --> 00:21:29.520
I thought that was a hand.

143
00:21:30.820 --> 00:21:31.820
Good to see you.

144
00:21:34.740 --> 00:21:35.080
Hi Jack.

145
00:21:35.080 --> 00:21:35.680
How are you?

146
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.140
Good Jack.

147
00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:36.500
How are you?

148
00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:36.580


149
00:21:37.820 --> 00:21:41.620
I still believe that politics is an honorable profession.

150
00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:45.780
Take a look around at your brothers and sisters in the Democratic Party.

151
00:21:45.780 --> 00:21:47.240
This is the Democratic Party.

152
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:25.880
We never stopped believing that we were a part of something good and something that had never happened before.

153
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.380
We intend to revitalize and rebuild this city.

154
00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:43.820
To open its doors and be certain that its babies are healthy and its old people are fed and well housed.

155
00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.820
It's all right.

156
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:50.400
It's all right.

157
00:22:52.820 --> 00:22:54.760
You never get them all.

158
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:58.900
That's why we have a democracy.

159
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:08.760
Because there are many opinions in a city as diverse and multi-ethnic as the city of Chicago.

160
00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:16.280
I made a success Harold.

161
00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:18.740
I apologize for paying a million dollars to the government.

162
00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:22.520
But as far as that goes I have my returns for the past 20 years.

163
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:24.420
And I agree that Harold made a mistake.

164
00:23:24.700 --> 00:23:27.960
The only problem is he suggested four years instead of 19.

165
00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.460
Careful please.

166
00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:43.380
I'm feeling fine.

167
00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:44.880
I always have felt fine.

168
00:23:45.340 --> 00:23:46.820
Even better with the election.

169
00:23:47.560 --> 00:23:48.380
Are you optimistic sir?

170
00:23:49.800 --> 00:23:52.760
I voted for the best individual regardless of party.

171
00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.640
I feel confident.

172
00:23:55.660 --> 00:23:58.880
I wouldn't say that I'll feel a lot better after the votes are counted.

173
00:23:59.320 --> 00:24:01.000
What are you going to do the rest of the day Mr. Epstein?

174
00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:02.060
Go and go to the ball game.

175
00:24:02.180 --> 00:24:03.420
See the White Sox win.

176
00:24:04.560 --> 00:24:07.300
Any regrets or anything you would have changed about this campaign?

177
00:24:07.460 --> 00:24:07.900
No.

178
00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:12.640
I just wish that we had been able to concentrate more on issues rather than personalities.

179
00:24:13.420 --> 00:24:16.780
But unfortunately we don't have control over what the media does.

180
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.680
Your opponent says it was unfortunate that race came out as a negative factor.

181
00:24:23.760 --> 00:24:25.140
That it took away from the issues.

182
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:32.240
I certainly think this is no time to point the finger at anybody.

183
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:37.100
If I would I'm afraid that you and the press would not be happy where I pointed the finger.

184
00:24:38.020 --> 00:24:40.060
Has the national media done a disservice to Chicago?

185
00:24:40.080 --> 00:24:40.760
Very much so.

186
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:42.520
They've given us a name which we don't deserve.

187
00:24:42.780 --> 00:24:47.000
We're a fine, friendly city or friendly neighborhood.

188
00:24:47.360 --> 00:24:48.520
Thank you so much.

189
00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.380
Thank you.

190
00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:52.760
And we'll prove it even more so after the election.

191
00:24:53.820 --> 00:24:54.260
Thank you sir.

192
00:24:54.520 --> 00:24:56.980
Mr. Rep do you have any power with the legislature if you get to...

193
00:24:56.980 --> 00:24:57.880
Not at all.

194
00:24:58.020 --> 00:25:01.240
I never had any problems when I was down there and I don't anticipate any now.

195
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:05.160
I think they'll listen to you or they'll go to Eddie Berdolia for their conflict with the city.

196
00:25:05.380 --> 00:25:06.660
I suspect they'll listen to me.

197
00:25:06.840 --> 00:25:10.420
I think that the mayor of Chicago will run the city of Chicago, not Mr. Berdolia.

198
00:25:12.020 --> 00:25:13.480
Well I'm proud I'm white.

199
00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:19.640
I said at the same token I could well understand the pride that the black people have in a black candidate.

200
00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:26.060
I said there's no reason why they shouldn't anymore than I can deny being white and take pride in the fact that white people...

201
00:25:26.060 --> 00:25:27.500
I didn't say white people.

202
00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:29.960
I said that ethnics take pride in...

203
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:35.100
So that again I've never been quoted, I've never made a statement that I'm proud that I'm white.

204
00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:40.140
I certainly have indicated I can't hide my color on the counter.

205
00:25:40.520 --> 00:25:42.040
Okay all the way.

206
00:25:43.660 --> 00:25:45.240
We only have a few more days to go.

207
00:25:45.320 --> 00:25:47.480
We're on the ten yard line but we can make the rest.

208
00:25:52.280 --> 00:25:58.200
I have a white mayor because the people are out there voting.

209
00:25:58.540 --> 00:26:02.700
I understand they're getting more votes than you can shake a stick at.

210
00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:32.680
Why don't we live together in perfect harmony side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we

211
00:26:34.280 --> 00:26:44.220
Side by side on my piano keyboard oh lord why don't we

212
00:26:44.220 --> 00:26:52.700
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

213
00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:54.940
I know they're not giving it to me.

214
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:01.640
Who the bearer of the fight

215
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.900
For the ramparts we watched

216
00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:08.700
Personalities we watched

217
00:27:08.700 --> 00:27:14.660
And the rocket's red glare

218
00:27:14.660 --> 00:27:18.920
The bombs bursting in air

219
00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:23.240
Yay!

220
00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.600
Yay!

221
00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:30.940
Yes! Yes! Yes!

222
00:27:31.840 --> 00:27:32.920
I'm after them.

223
00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:34.020


224
00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:57.060
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way in.

225
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:59.460
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.

226
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:01.800
He was the top man at his craft.

227
00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:04.620
But then his number came up and he was going up the draft.

228
00:28:04.820 --> 00:28:06.940
He's in the...

229
00:28:14.560 --> 00:28:17.780
That Chicago is my kind of town.

230
00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.980
And Rich Daly is my kind of mayor.

231
00:28:27.120 --> 00:28:28.940
And I want to say...

232
00:28:33.500 --> 00:28:39.800
I am proud to introduce the next mayor of this great city, Rich Daly.

233
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.040
Thank you.

234
00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:58.100
Thank you very much.

235
00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.740
Thank you.

236
00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:02.260
Thank you.

237
00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:04.280
Thank you.

238
00:29:06.260 --> 00:29:10.900
Thank you very much, Vice President Fritz Mondale.

239
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:14.780
...chance. Harold doesn't win. Runs a close second.

240
00:29:14.860 --> 00:29:17.480
Some will say your vote was wasted. No.

241
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.020
I would rather vote for something I want and not get it

242
00:29:22.020 --> 00:29:25.000
than vote for something I don't want and get it.

243
00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:29.000
And that's been the case of Chicago all these years.

244
00:29:29.740 --> 00:29:31.320
But I think...

245
00:29:31.320 --> 00:29:36.160
I think the intelligence of Chicagoans will result

246
00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.720
in quite conceivably can be a victory for Harold.

247
00:29:39.740 --> 00:29:44.920
And to my white fellow Chicagoans, I say this transcends race.

248
00:29:45.500 --> 00:29:46.680
It involves vision.

249
00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:51.160
It involves self-respect for yourself and for your intelligence

250
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:55.760
which I shall exercise on that day when I vote for Harold Washington.

251
00:30:04.260 --> 00:30:07.120
For money, how much money do you have left over from the primary?

252
00:30:07.420 --> 00:30:10.640
We don't even have all the bills in here from the primaries, so I can't tell you.

253
00:30:10.820 --> 00:30:12.300
Well, are you going to have a fundraiser?
