PILOTS GALLOPOSE uniform on the streets of Skokie on Independence Day.

The glorious 4th of July.

The Jewish Defense League will be there.

If Colin and his Nazis march in Skokie on the 4th of July, we'll be waiting for him.

And you can tell those Nazi -loving ACLU shysters up there, if they march, there will be blood.

And it won't be Jewish blood.

It would be a desecration of the graves of 6 million Holocaust victims if we didn't meet those Nazis face to face and fight them.

OK, now let's get these pictures in the show.

Oh, boy, that's a wind.

I suffered an attack.

My fiance was punched in the face.

And a few days later, I had swastikas and death to reds and execute reds painted all over the lobby of my building and trash dumped in the lobby.

And other people have received threats.

He's had a propaganda campaign of going into WaxTrack's record store and putting this to fringe element.

I think that this is part of US imperialism and racism as a whole.

And I'd just like to say that I'd like to organize as many people as possible, any youth that are interested in putting a stop to this.

We intend to be on this for being literature in the future about this.

We have to hope they make it in a sense, because otherwise, they'll just be lost somewhere down south of here forever and put all of their costuming to waste.

So in any case, they're on their way if they can overcome the technical difficulties.

And I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you what they think about all of us and you.

Are you recording on this? The teachers, they really, they really, uh, the synergy there.

Hey, slow for a little bit more.

I think he has some trouble.

Want to lift it up again? Nice.

All the teachers, all the preachers, all the pastors, all the ministers will come together over here.

The officers are going to take up their side in a minute.

Stay on the roof.

All the pastors will come together.

No war, no KKK, no fascist USA.

No war, no KKK, no fascist USA.

No war, no KKK, no fascist USA.

No war, no KKK, no fascist USA.

No war, no KKK, no fascist USA.

They're going to get them.

What's going on there? Not too rallying.

Stop the new life.

They came over here, they didn't come over here with any intent for peaceable assembly.

They came over here with clubs and with shields.

And swastikas all over the place.

I mean, that's not assembly.

That's preparing for a fucking war.

Melanie, come here.

We are a family growing stronger, growing wiser, growing wiser.

And we are growing free.

I believe, was there some trouble with Daly's Lone O' Bill being in here? Not that I know of, no.

Or did they just move it? They moved it, we didn't.

No, you didn't complain about the position.

Why, should we have? I don't know, I just heard that somebody wanted to move because they were side by side.

Well, I mean, it only makes good political sense, right? Not to have one behind the other.

We don't really want to be following them.

We really don't want to be following them.

Are you done? Yes.

We didn't make a big to do about it, no.

Why did you move from Breezak's float? The trade marshal was the one that moved us.

Trade marshal came up and asked us to move up here.

Oh, it was his idea? Yeah.

You're going too fast, believe me.

I'm going to be screaming if you're going too fast, okay? Wait, wait.

He's going down.

He's going down.

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Come to Glory Hall and have a shrimp free barbecue afterwards.

Do you know him? Mike Watersdorff? Woo! Woo! Woo! We are singing, singing for our lives.

This work is we say thank you.

Yes, yes! Woo! Woo! We are all colors and religions, and we are singing, singing for our lives.

We shall overcome someday.

And we'll wait for just a minute until we can bring this under control.

States are asked to respond to these questions.

Sheila Jones is a bona fide candidate for Mayor of Chicago.

She's an addressable candidate with equal opportunity to address these questions.

That is not true.

That is not moral.

That is not ethical.

And spending 3 % of her contributions on hams doesn't make it right.

Our next opening statement will come from a loud disturbance here, even if it doesn't sound that loud on your television sets at home.

We'll just take a brief pause and then we'll come back to this discussion.

We are here at Comenny High School and we've had a disturbance at this debate.

And while it is being quieted, while it is being quieted, please give the mayor an opportunity.

Take another half minute if you would to finish.

I missed the deadline, as I said many, many times through my campaign, for filing as a Democrat.

I am an independent Democrat affiliated with the National Democratic Policy Committee of Lyndon LaRouche, which everyone knows that.

You might, if you didn't know that, then you're very, very well remiss in understanding what you have to know.

I was on a half hour TV spot during the campaign, which every person who's my enemy I'm sure saw or should have seen.

But my campaign was a very volatile campaign.

And it was one in which I went out and exposed the fraud of the liberal policies around the likes of Sidney Yates, but also the likes of the Democratic Party, who are pushing this whole zero growth post -industrial, legalized gambling, legalized drugs, legalized sodomy, you name it.

And that's why I ran.

And that's why when I mentioned my name or mentioned Mr.

LaRouche's name, you get the liberal response where they literally should go out to the bathroom and take care of it.

But that's the kind of campaign I ran.

Any other questions? But in the context of what you just said, let me just give you the program, some of the ideas of the things that I would do.

The first thing is I would have to do as mayor to do and re -industrialize the city of Chicago and the 500 mile radius around it such that we bring high tech jobs into Chicago is I am in total support and have been for a long time of revitalizing the Crosstown project, the transportation expressway system.

Now that project has been labeled a boondoggle from the get go by the liberal networks around Mayor Byrne as well as around the Republican liberals around Governor Thompson.

It's an interesting relationship.

Politics, as they say, makes very interesting bedfellows.

But the first thing I would do is to move to begin reorganizing on a war to war level the kind of machine that old man Daley had to implement that kind of a policy.

It's very critical because to tell you the truth, Mayor Byrne would not be mayor had the Crosstown project been online because it was on the basis of rotten transportation and expressway system that Belandic was watergated out, if you will.

The second thing is I am engaging in a major program to get the deep tunnel project going.

Again, another very serious job get her, not ditch digging jobs, but it was the largest hire of black as well as other skilled wise gambling or free enterprise zone.

So what can I do in a very short period of time is to detail for you the overall plans and I know how to do that to implement these three major proposals.

Campaign is a campaign as many people know from the congressional following I got both negative and positive, but a tremendous amount of positive is this.

I am not going to run a campaign on local issues that are defined by the press.

I am not going to allow myself to be manipulated by the press as Harold Washington is allowing himself to do on the issue of being a candidate for the black population because his skin happens to be the same color.

The issue is that this kind of racism is a kind of racist division or divisionary tactics that set off the kinds of race riots in 1968 because quite frankly any mayor at this point in time who does not understand what I just laid out is going to find themselves on the bread line just like Mayor Coleman Youngwill, Mayor Cotchwill, Hatcher, you can go on and on and on throughout the The economy is about to blow.

Twice last week it almost went when Brazil defaulted on its debt.

Mexico defaulted.

Argentina defaulted.

How in the world can we talk about our city is doing well when the whole world economy is about to blow and I know how we can stop it.

You have to get the kind of proposals of E -beam technology, nuclear energy, great enterprises like the Deep Tunnel Project throughout the world.

But you see this is the kind of thing that only our children seem to understand today.

You and I have become pragmatic animals whereby if someone doesn't talk about what's going to be in my pocket I can't understand you.

So the bottom line is you have to look for my campaign and I challenge you, I challenge you to have the kind of integrity and smarts to realize that you don't have much to go on unless you start thinking bigger.

And that's all I have to say.

Thank you very much.
