I mean, how many times have you covered or announced... 58 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:40.960 ...Hispanics laying dead on the street from gangs, a curfew at Cabrini Green, where people are being told you cannot come in or come out after 9.30? 59 00:09:41.280 --> 00:09:42.980 How many times have you gone through that? 60 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:47.740 I think you get out there and you talk about that to the people, then you talk about that to their elected officials. 61 00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.180 Isn't the rip-off so deep? 62 00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:50.360 I don't think so. 63 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.080 You said you're not going to go to the... before the Cook County Democratic Party... 64 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:56.060 ...to the McConnell. 65 00:09:57.160 --> 00:09:57.960 I can hear you. 66 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:04.400 ...that between now and, say, even the primary, by starting so early, the campaign may lose steam? 67 00:10:04.900 --> 00:10:11.040 No, I started almost as early, not quite, maybe four months later in my 79 campaign. 68 00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.180 But when... 69 00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.920 ...any committee that calls and quietly... 70 00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:18.580 Well, who? 71 00:10:18.940 --> 00:10:23.920 Well, first of all, you called but only I can work up the ball, and then the few each leader you've been raising... 72 00:10:23.920 --> 00:10:25.680 Let's clarify the issue right now. 73 00:10:26.160 --> 00:10:28.560 There are 50 people sent to the Chicago City Council. 74 00:10:29.020 --> 00:10:31.520 The mayor sits as the president of that council. 75 00:10:32.020 --> 00:10:35.680 The programs that must be put through the council require 26 votes. 76 00:10:36.300 --> 00:10:43.880 Over and above that, I respect that everybody who is sent there is sent there by the people of that constituency. 77 00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:47.540 I respected all 50. All 50. 78 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.920 I continue to respect, as elected officials, the 50 that are sent there. 79 00:10:51.920 --> 00:10:58.840 That doesn't mean that you have to make a deal to harm your city or to do anything that would ever harm the future of this city. 80 00:10:59.020 --> 00:11:00.940 Do you regret ever calling them an evil campaign? 81 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.500 Well, those were strong words. It was a tough campaign. 82 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.720 Talking about today as the future in 1987 and making a city work. 83 00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:09.840 Mayor Bratman? 84 00:11:10.020 --> 00:11:10.340 Yes. 85 00:11:10.340 --> 00:11:14.260 Some people say that you've actually been running since you beat it. 86 00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:19.360 That you would have any encouragement at all in the polls if that were the case. I really do not. 87 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:24.240 I think that the people are extremely fed up on this situation. Just extremely. 88 00:11:24.820 --> 00:11:30.260 And I don't think that they like the fight. I don't think they like to see their programs halted. 89 00:11:30.400 --> 00:11:33.460 I think people really came out here and skipped Chicago Fest. 90 00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:36.180 Senior citizens come up and tell me they used to. 91 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:40.120 Channel 2, I forget where they had me. They had me in striking distance. 92 00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:42.240 The Tribune had me in striking distance. 93 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:49.400 He's got a solid base of about 42 and it drops. It goes 40, 43. So that's what we're talking about. 94 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:23.300 ... says that good sons choose okay parents. 95 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.460 Tim's parents have been friends of mine for many, many years. 96 00:12:31.740 --> 00:12:34.740 I want to start by putting the rascals out. 97 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:47.260 I am up for this race. I've even lost 25 pounds in case you haven't noticed. I've been in training. 98 00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:57.540 And this time I will do a better job of explaining my plans for Illinois to the people. I tried to do that this morning. 99 00:12:58.800 --> 00:13:08.900 Finally, let me remind you, as I've been trying to do this morning with the young people who are here, 100 00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.760 that we shouldn't leave all the decisions to the politicians. 101 00:13:13.700 --> 00:13:19.220 The decisions must be made by the people. And I believe they will be made by the people in this primary. 102 00:13:33.040 --> 00:13:42.600 I'm a fine public servant. And he has put the welfare of his party and his state before his own. 103 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:52.080 I found out where the 5,000 votes are at. I was going by the State of Illinois building in one of the broken air conditioners. 104 00:13:53.640 --> 00:13:58.240 So we'll make sure we keep them all this time, Senator. I should say Governor. 105 00:13:58.940 --> 00:14:03.420 And next November will be a great, great day for the Democratic Party. Good luck to both of you. 106 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:12.680 ... Senator Stevenson fumbled away the election last time, and that he would lose next year to Governor Thompson. 107 00:14:12.780 --> 00:14:16.600 What has there been in his performance that makes you think he would do any better next time? 108 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:22.080 109 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:31.880 Neil? Danny? 110 00:14:31.880 --> 00:14:31.880 111 00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:03.860 ... 112 00:15:03.860 --> 00:15:16.580 and help and support a family, my wife, my daughter, my parents, my friends, my staff, 113 00:15:17.880 --> 00:15:22.920 thousands of, thousands of good people who served with me in government. 114 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:35.740 This is not the end, nor even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning. 115 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:42.040 We're going to go get it, all of us together. We're going to bring it home. 116 00:15:47.160 --> 00:15:54.240 Great names is going to direct this campaign, and he has promised to double my 1982 margin, 117 00:15:54.600 --> 00:16:00.120 just like he did for President Reagan. See you next year. Thank you. 118 00:16:18.540 --> 00:16:26.540 It's not about power, it's over velocity. My record, my beliefs, my principles have been consistent 119 00:16:26.540 --> 00:16:31.020 with my philosophy of government. Efficient government, effective government. 120 00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:34.960 It's true that our city is beset with many problems. 121 00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:46.140 Let's hear it for the Oregon players. 122 00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:08.440 We're not inappropriately taking you very seriously. 123 00:17:09.280 --> 00:17:13.980 I think you've always taken me seriously, whether it be this time or at any juncture, 124 00:17:14.080 --> 00:17:18.920 because when I came into politics in 1968, I ran against the incumbent Democratic. 125 00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:24.520 I was an independent. Then the IVI got involved and helped me organize my campaign. 126 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:29.260 I ran as an independent candidate for Alderman. So I was an outsider when I came in. 127 00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:32.760 When I got elected to Alderman, I started a coffee rebind against Tom Keen, 128 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.880 ran against Daley and the organization for assessor against Tom Tully, if you recall. 129 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.600 I think everybody's always taken me seriously, whether they've cared for me a great deal or not is another story. 130 00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:44.780 I took you very seriously also when you said something earlier this evening, 131 00:17:44.820 --> 00:17:49.420 because it's something that I've discussed on the air before, and I don't really know that much about politics, 132 00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:54.380 but I feel kind of lonely when I discuss it. And I was glad that you brought it up without any prompting from me. 133 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:59.760 And that is when you mentioned Jim Thompson, because it seems to me in a certain sort of way that, 134 00:18:00.280 --> 00:18:04.880 and you mentioned if he gets beat in a gubernatorial race, he lives in the city of Chicago, 135 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:11.320 and he clearly is in love with the city of Chicago. I mean, you see, I mean, he, like you, he, and like Harold Washington, 136 00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:20.020 you all eat the city up and love it. You could work with him, couldn't you? 137 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:25.880 I can work with anybody. I've worked with Governor Thompson. I've worked with the legislators in Springfield, 138 00:18:26.080 --> 00:18:30.380 Democratic and Republican. I've worked with Democratic and Republican party members in the county board. 139 00:18:30.380 --> 00:18:34.020 I can work with anybody because, you know, you can get into a camp. 140 00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:39.320 Well, there's no confidence in our government and our city. People who want to invest don't want to come here. 141 00:18:39.700 --> 00:18:44.540 People want to be able to have access to the mayor's office. People want to have the crime rate to go down 142 00:18:44.540 --> 00:18:49.480 and not have someone cut the police and then reduce the budget 18 million dollars more 143 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.700 with making the superintendents send that back to you. 144 00:18:51.820 --> 00:18:52.440 I'm out of time. 145 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:53.620 And no jobs? 146 00:18:53.760 --> 00:18:55.460 We're out of time. Thank you very much. 147 00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:55.880 You're quite welcome. 148 00:18:56.660 --> 00:19:03.100 I'm John Callaway. Thank you for being with us again. My apologies for the voice. I hope it'll get better soon. Good night. 149 00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:13.560 And here we have Maria Santos. 150 00:19:13.940 --> 00:19:15.040 It's medium size. 151 00:19:15.300 --> 00:19:20.060 And I say tonight that the inflammatory rhetoric must also end on all sides. 152 00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:25.300 1986 presents a real challenge and opportunity for this organization. 153 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.120 We want the national party to watch us go to work to see what we can do when we're together. 154 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.700 We want them to watch the margin of victory Alan Dixon returns with to the U.S. Senate. 155 00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:38.400 In 1986, we're going to have a new candidate for governor. 156 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:42.900 Not that we should, because our last candidate beat Jim Thompson. 157 00:19:43.380 --> 00:19:45.700 And if we'd had a recount, we could have proved it. 158 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.400 Besides, the only reason it was close was because Big Jim told a big fib. 159 00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:56.060 Before the election, he said we didn't need a tax hike. 160 00:19:56.580 --> 00:20:00.740 Afterwards, he raised taxes almost $2 billion within 30 days after the election. 161 00:20:02.040 --> 00:20:06.900 We're going to live up to our winning tradition by electing our entire Democratic ticket in 1986. 162 00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:13.200 Tonight, I want to say I'm honored to be part of the greatest political organization in American political history. 163 00:20:13.820 --> 00:20:15.680 And I'm even more honored to be the chairman. 164 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:20.580 There was no one I'd rather have on my side than those of you who are here today. 165 00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:25.360 I would like to thank all of the elected officials and participants for this dinner. 166 00:20:25.840 --> 00:20:27.760 And all of you who worked so very hard. 167 00:20:28.140 --> 00:20:38.000 And the outstanding great, great names that we have in the elected office here is truly a tribute to the Democratic Party and the great chairmen that have certainly preceded me. 168 00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:41.900 This is not only a great organization, it's a great city. It's a great county. 169 00:20:41.900 --> 00:20:48.960 We've got the finest parks, museums, the best universities, architecture, the best neighborhoods, and the finest people in the world. 170 00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:52.020 This is a great county and a super town. 171 00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:54.440 And I'm most optimistic about our future. 172 00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:56.620 Why the moral tone tonight? 173 00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.560 Because there's too much at stake. 174 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.780 We have to get our party back on track. 175 00:21:03.380 --> 00:21:07.300 Our city, our county, our state, country. 176 00:21:07.300 --> 00:21:12.900 Because when we're right, we're the best people to run the government of the United States of America. 177 00:21:19.620 --> 00:21:26.060 I have said many times that our people haven't left the Democratic Party, rather the National Democratic Party has left our people. 178 00:21:26.360 --> 00:21:28.820 Well, I'm here to tell you tonight that we're coming home. 179 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.240 To those people concerned about jobs, the Democratic Party is coming home. 180 00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:38.460 The Democratic Party is coming home to those more concerned about victims than criminals. 181 00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.120 We're coming home to those concerned about higher taxes and a poor business climate. 182 00:21:43.580 --> 00:21:48.280 We're coming home to those parents who want a good education and a better life for their children. 183 00:21:48.560 --> 00:21:53.280 We're coming home to those people who have to worry about existing day to day. 184 00:21:53.700 --> 00:21:54.800 We're coming home. 185 00:21:55.220 --> 00:22:00.500 And especially to those who feel that there ought to be room in our society for old fashioned values. 186 00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:02.020 We're coming home. 187 00:22:04.580 --> 00:22:05.100 Applause 188 00:22:10.040 --> 00:22:11.080 We say... 189 00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:17.140 Like a thief, castigating me for being for peace, well just go right ahead and have all the fun you want to. 190 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:22.820 Because the peace army is one army that's getting larger and larger and larger and larger all over the world. 191 00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:26.260 Applause 192 00:22:26.260 --> 00:22:29.700 Having gotten that off my chest, I will now read my prepared remarks. 193 00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:38.100 I'm honored to have been invited to this ceremony, particularly because I know that you've come together for the past ten years on this day. 194 00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:49.580 As a citizen of this country and of this city, I too have a deep and personal need to participate in a special ceremony honoring those who lost their lives in the war in Vietnam 195 00:22:49.580 --> 00:22:54.620 and those who survived and who are treated as though they are just wastrels of foreign people. 196 00:22:54.620 --> 00:23:04.380 I want to say a few words today, not so much as the Mayor of Chicago, but as a serviceman, a veteran who like yourselves has called to fight on behalf of our country. 197 00:23:05.080 --> 00:23:11.780 I will appoint a Vietnam Veterans Task Force by July 4th, confined to many women who served in that war, 198 00:23:12.280 --> 00:23:22.300 to look into, evaluate, and present a plan to the City of Chicago that will recommend a fitting memorial in commemoration to the individuals who served in the Vietnam War. 199 00:23:22.300 --> 00:23:26.320 And we're going to respect the recommendations for this task force. 200 00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:38.400 This task force is especially appropriate for this city because Chicago has a higher concentration of Vietnam Veterans than any other urban area in the nation. 201 00:23:38.780 --> 00:23:44.820 Approximately 168,000 Vietnam Veterans here in the City of Chicago. 202 00:23:45.780 --> 00:23:51.940 Also on this 10th anniversary, we must join hands and hearts and unite on one and only goal, 203 00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:58.220 to assist the living survivors of Vietnam, many of whom still suffer and are in pain, 204 00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:04.000 whether it's suffering from physical or emotional disability or lack of work or a multitude of other problems. 205 00:24:04.340 --> 00:24:10.020 We must work together to create a better, more caring, more fruitful life for these individuals. 206 00:24:10.300 --> 00:24:11.940 That is of prime importance. 207 00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:17.600 On your behalf, and on behalf of those whom we mourn here today who cannot speak, 208 00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:22.920 I believe the soldiers we commemorate here today would want that for their compatriots. 209 00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:28.140 We must act honorably for them because they can only live their lives through us. 210 00:24:28.780 --> 00:24:38.760 I would like to invite you, my friends and relatives, to join me and my staff at Navy Pier at 12 noon for an informal picnic on our beautiful lakefront, 211 00:24:38.760 --> 00:24:46.480 where we can relax and chat informally about your problems as you see them with your suggestions as you would like to see them carried out. 212 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.260 So we're going to have a two-shot echo to the mayor.
