I'm optimistic.

All I can be optimistic about is the reaction that I'm getting from the people, taking it out to the people, the response I'm getting back.

I know I'm doing the right thing.

See what goes on in the debate.

Yeah.

Thank you, very much for this.

It's a pleasure.

Thank you.

Good luck, Eddie.

Hurry up.

Be a man so you can stop this.

Good luck, Eddie.

Good luck.

I hope you're on the mayor daily and turning over in the gray zone.

Good luck.

How you doing? Good luck.

How you doing? Good luck.

You got all my families going, Eddie.

Good luck, Fred.

Come on.

I really appreciate your report.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Second question.

Should Wallace Davis be allowed out of jail to vote in a council meeting? If a man is in jail legally, then no.

If he's there illegally, then yes.

My suggestion to the mayor of Washington and others who say he should come out just to vote and go back to jail is Bologna.

Why don't we just all take the council over there? I understand the food's not too bad.

You'll meet some interesting people.

Let's have our council meetings in the jail from now on.

It's insane to say that.

From the mayor of Chicago or anybody else, you're sending the wrong signals.

Just as he sent the wrong signals when he went to the county jail to register people to vote.

Have a good day.

Eddie, while we're at your life, folks.

What do you got here? Say it.

John Cody at WBV and Radio.

George Poppich.

How are you? Good to see you.

What's the name of the radio station? Mayor Washington wants to talk about fairness.

Four years ago, Jane Byrne let Mayor Washington debate four times.

Now Mayor Washington doesn't want to debate unless you sign an affidavit.

Let's send some messages to some other folks.

Let's send some messages to Tom Hines.

You know, you know.

What's going on in this city? ...who can represent Chicago's black community.

And that must mean that you could say there's no black candidate who can represent Chicago's white community, right? There is not one.

Wrong.

We all know that's not true.

We've always known that our greatest leaders like Abraham Lincoln, John F.

Kennedy, and Martin Luther King represented all of our society and not just part of it.

It doesn't matter if a candidate is black, white, Hispanic, Catholic, Jewish, or Protestant.

Because when we vote for our next mayor, we don't want the best white candidate or the best black candidate.

We just want the best mayor we can have, right? That's why this is 8 -4 by the Edward Olieck for Mayor Committee.

Edward Olieck.

The best choice.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

That's right.

This lawsuit will serve notice that those people who use the name of outstanding black citizens in a reckless manner.

We know that we will not stand by as a black community and allow this to happen.

Where did they get the tape and how is it taken out of context? We were told by WBBM number one that the tape was in fact given to them by something called I believe it's called Novak Communications.

We know that to be a subsidiary or at least an agency of a person by the name of Joe Novak.

I am told he's a campaign manager for Ed Vajoliat.

I will be in a sense, I hope reflecting, inferentially the kind of feeling that you feel.

It's a good pleasure to be here with your final and enjoy yourself.

Thank you very much.

I just want to point out tonight that we here are under no constraint to show the same restraint as the mayor did in not having a drink today.

We're here to have a good time for St.

Patrick's Day.

Please enjoy yourselves.

Thank you.

Happy days.

Oh, I can't do that anymore.

Uh -oh! Uh -oh! Why are you so impetuous so hard? Vajoliat is staying in the race.

I went to New York and I went to New York.

I really wish you all the best.

I know that Chicago is going to...

You said, wait a minute.

What happened? What happened? I took a swing at the belly.

I'm like a...

...from the wrong part of town, who was never supposed to go anywhere, stay any place, be anybody, or do anything.

The people have had you...

He never filed for 49 years.

Now he's going to talk to me about fiscal responsibility.

And the budgetary process and leadership, when he was in Congress, he had the third worst voting record of 435 congressmen.

You don't give someone a title of mayor at the age of 60 and expect them to live up to the title.

You got to grow into that job.

You've got to work your way up to the job, and you've got to have the experience to get...

Is it your feeling that Mr.

Hines has set out the city council? Wait, what's the last thing? What did you think of the mayor watching people into L .A.? He's been very smart.

Well, I think that for the most part, when he's out of town, the city is going to be She went to Ohio, didn't she? Hello? I didn't go to Ohio.

Ohio came to you.

Ohio came to you.

What about the amounts of money being spent, the fact that he's used up that however many millions it is and needs more? How much was this total? Well, I don't know.

13 million Jane Burns said it was.

That's what she said, yeah.

Wait, that's obscene, isn't it? Didn't we hear that before? Didn't we hear that before? That's obscene.

Isn't it expensive to run a campaign that's so obscene? Are you getting something out of this? It's only...

It's only...

I...

The amounts on this...

Yeah, but I'm not receiving the...

I am still well below a million dollars in donations to my campaign.

I'm certainly not going to be matched.

I think I could Jane Burn out.

I don't know how many she had.

How many? Two to three.

And the mayor of Washington is understanding that approximately 13 million Jane Burns is I think that this last election, it went on the basis of who spent the most dollars, and the mayor of Washington really lost.

He spent 13 million dollars on our spending.

Eddie, you said that the mayor of the primary committee said that you were going to do a I said I was going to do a Jane Burns campaign.

You said you were going to do a Jane Burns campaign, didn't you? What does that mean? I'll be able to talk...

I'll be able to keep talking to the campaign on the issues totally...

How's your son Jon doing? W deverdo te verga, Por yo sob car procedure How do you say how's your son Jon doing? and both want Jane Byrne to lose? Well, I've endorsed Jane Byrne, Mr.

Hines has not.

I took the avenue of not putting 70 ,000 petition signers in jeopardy for the Democratic primary, Mr.

Hines did.

...office, checked fully and totally the thousand -plus people that the Washington Jackson Registration Drive registered in the county jail.

We, with just a cursory examination of the people that were registered as a result, seek support for election.

This is not the type of people and the type of situation and the type of setting that you come to seek support for mayor of Chicago, and this is not the signal that you send...

...the responsibility of the Board of Elections then to sort through these new registrations.

I think what they have to do now is to check all the registrations.

If they do affect that, see what the decision is on the cases.

This guy is on the right, this one's on the left, so that these two look like they're next to each other.

There's much space between the two pictures.

These have to be farther apart.

Yeah, he's doing it out there.

Right here? Yeah.

Well, we'll do it over here.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know right here.

Right here.

I don't know if I can push on it.

Well, no, thanks.

You guys, my knees are sore.

It's simple.

Just a little bit.

Yeah, it's a bit.

Okay, put the one...

Let's see.

This one on the left.

This one on this side, that one over here.

Okay, that one there.

I'm not going to hide it until it's troubled.

It's just a hole at the top and the bottom, where you're at.

You got to hold it from the top and the bottom.

Yeah.

Okay, you got that? Yeah.

Down here behind this hole.

You got to come.

You can't do it? You can't do it? Beautiful.

That's a throw.

We got to go inside this thing.

What if you put them like, so the wind's blowing in them, they're not going to blow.

That's what you do.

Get the car out of the old parking zone.

You don't want to park it here.

No, man, that's how we do it.

It's a bureaucratic nightmare if you don't want to do it.

We are going to seek the law of pass to do it.

Well, but Mr.

Edgar's cooperation is needed, and he's not cooperating with the city.

How are you going to make him do it? But he doesn't do anything.

Right now you have federal grand juries going, you have people being indicted.

We have a company still not turning over revenues to the city of Chicago concerning $100 million or more of parking tickets, and this will be a solution.

We really have to get this passed.

We wouldn't have had to go back to the homeowner as he did.

In fact, we shouldn't have had that property taxed.

There's an older man, a candidate on your side, who's proposing that you arrest people with more than eight unpaid tickets.

Would you like to...

...got a barbell challenge? This morning, Tom Hines said that he...

Tom Hines said he didn't want to run for mayor.

Then he got confused, and then he said he wants to run for mayor.

Mr.

Hines really should work and be about the business of handling his own confusion first.

Mr.

Hines is doing very poorly because no one knows who Mr.

Hines is.

He never stood up on a major issue for four years.

He never fought for more police.

He never fought for a reduction in property taxes.

No one knows who he is or knows what he says.

All I know is they see his name on a tax bill, and I would suggest, if he read the Sun Times this morning, that the main problem in this whole campaign for Jane Byrne will be the fact that Tom Hines, the signers of his petition, those circulators will in fact be challenged by some Washington affiliate in the primary on February 24th.

Are you serious about this debate challenge? No, I'm going to let those two try to work it out.

Let's see what happens after tonight.

I'll have a story for you if tonight's deadline I think...
