00:34:16,560 percent convinced that 869 00:34:21,270 --> 00:34:18,879 um the interview that we did with him 870 00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:21,280 was not only being taped but it was 871 00:34:25,109 --> 00:34:23,440 being listened to 872 00:34:27,589 --> 00:34:25,119 because i could hear clicking 873 00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:27,599 on my end of the phone 874 00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:28,639 and 875 00:34:34,069 --> 00:34:29,919 having worked 876 00:34:36,149 --> 00:34:34,079 in wiretaps uh that's a that's a clear 877 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:36,159 indication that somebody's tapping into 878 00:34:41,589 --> 00:34:38,320 the line on his end 879 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:41,599 right and i suspect that he was on a on 880 00:35:35,829 --> 00:34:42,320 a 881 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:35,839 um however 882 00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:37,040 um 883 00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:40,079 it's probably of extreme interest to 884 00:35:42,870 --> 00:35:40,880 them 885 00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:42,880 who he's talking to 886 00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:44,800 and why is he talking to them because as 887 00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:47,040 far as i know this was his first 888 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:49,280 uh interview uh since he's been 889 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:50,880 incarcerated since we've been doing the 890 00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:52,960 radio show 891 00:35:59,480 --> 00:35:56,560 but i think rick 892 00:36:04,069 --> 00:35:59,490 and or peter 893 00:36:08,150 --> 00:36:05,349 hello 894 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,510 marilyn are you here 895 00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:14,150 well she she was 896

evaluating maryland um the um 900 00:36:35,349 --> 00:36:33,280 conversation and interview that we had 901 00:36:37,589 --> 00:36:35,359 with john ford 902 00:36:39,589 --> 00:36:37,599 and um and we were at the point where i 903 00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:39,599 was saying that i could hear a clicking 904 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:40,720 noise 905 00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:43,440 on um on my end every once in a while i 906 00:36:48,069 --> 00:36:45,599 could hear a click which indicates to me 907 00:36:50,230 --> 00:36:48,079 that they were probably taping it and 908 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:50,240 were extremely interested in who john 909 00:36:53,990 --> 00:36:52,000 ford is talking to 910 00:36:56,150 --> 00:36:54,000 and why is he talking to him you know 911 00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:56,160 outside of the facility let him talk a 912 00:37:01,109 --> 00:36:58,560 lot longer than what he indicated when 913 00:37:03,030 --> 00:37:01,119 we first got on 914 00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:03,040 you know he said he only had he could 915 00:37:06,230 --> 00:37:05,200 talk maybe 10 minutes or so 916 00:37:08,750 --> 00:37:06,240 and 917 00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:08,760 gosh how long was the the conversation

00:37:20,310 --> 00:37:18,079 so they let him 922 00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:20,320 talk and talk and talk and talk 923 00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:22,560 uh which was very surprising to me 924 00:37:26,390 --> 00:37:25,119 because i i really expected just a very 925 00:37:27,750 --> 00:37:26,400 short 926 00:37:29,589 --> 00:37:27,760 interview with him yeah i didn't think 927 00:37:32,550 -->

of the the 1002 00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:06,720 conversations 1003 00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:08,720 communications that they were having 1004 00:40:13,589 --> 00:40:11,520 back and forth yeah yeah 1005

basically it's not even a 1138 00:45:15,829 --> 00:45:14,400 controlled substance it's like they give 1139 00:45:17,430 --> 00:45:15,839 it to children 1140 00:45:21,910 --> 00:45:17,440 it's basically an histamine it's 1141 00:45:25,030 --> 00:45:23,430 and but the other one is an 1142 00:45:26,870 --> 00:45:25,040 antipsychotic 1143 00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:26,880 but it's a low dose and

a clear 1147 00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:34,800 head and he's doing a pretty damn good 1148 00:45:39,510 --> 00:45:37,440 job of it yeah he's not helping him it's 1149 00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:39,520 not really hurting him now at this point 1150 00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:40,400 but 1151 00:45:43,510 --> 00:45:42,079 you know i don't think it's necessary 1152 00:45:46,069 --> 00:45:43,520 that he'd be

--> 00:49:50,160 jury 1264 00:49:53,829 --> 00:49:52,240 he used to sent right to the executioner 1265 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:53,839 so to speak 1266 00:49:56,710 --> 00:49:54,720 so 1267 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:56,720 he took a plea bargain he took a plea 1268 00:49:59,589 --> 00:49:57,680 bargain 1269 00:50:02,230 --> 00:49:59,599 uh at the advice of his attorney john 1270 00:50:05,510 --> 00:50:02,240 rouse which he was misadvised 1271 00:50:07,589 --> 00:50:05,520 but he accepted it and that is a 1272 00:50:09,270 --> 00:50:07,599 compromise of his principles right there 1273 00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:09,280 in order to avoid 1274 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:12,480 uh the siphoning off of his social uh 1275 00:50:15,910 --> 00:50:14,160 his uh pension 1276 00:50:18,230 --> 00:50:15,920 trying to protect his pension 1277 00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:18,240 that's what my point was is that that 1278 00:50:22,870 --> 00:50:20,319 because he took the plea deal 1279 00:50:25,430 --> 00:50:22,880 um it's the basically the same thing as 1280 00:50:27,349 --> 00:50:25,440 saying that yeah i'm there's something 1281 00:50:30,230 --> 00:50:27,359 wrong with me 1282 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:30,240 he lied about that yes and 1283 00:50:35,990 --> 00:50:32,720 so he's now in the system because he 1284 00:50:37,990 --> 00:50:36,000 lied and the only way you can live up 1285 00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:38,000 you have to live up to that lie 1286 00:50:42,309 --> 00:50:41,200 or completely countermanned the entire 1287 00:50:44,470 --> 00:50:42,319 process 1288 00:50:45,990 --> 00:50:44,480 which is not it's so easy to do because 1289 00:50:48,069 --> 00:50:46,000 he's in the system 1290 00:50:49,829 --> 00:50:48,079 he put himself in the system 1291 00:50:52,150 --> 00:50:49,839 with bad advice 1292 00:50:53,910 --> 00:50:52,160 well you know you go up between a rock 1293 00:50:57,270 --> 00:50:53,920 and a hard player what is he going to 1294 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:57,280 choose go in front of a jury and a judge 1295 00:51:01,589 --> 00:50:59,280 until he's convicted of something he 1296 00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:01,599 loses his freedom and he loses his 1297 00:51:07,109 --> 00:51:04,960 pension or he spends what they what he 1298 00:51:09,829 --> 00:51:07,119 thought was he from a couple of months 1299 00:51:11,910 --> 00:51:09,839 to to a year and a half or two years in 1300 00:51:13,190 --> 00:51:11,920 a psychiatric facility he comes out a 1301 00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:13,200 free man 1302 00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:16,000 and he's got his pension and goes on his 1303 00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:18,720 way it was okay that gave him that seems 1304 00:51:22,710 --> 00:51:21,040 like the lesser of two evils to me 1305 00:51:24,710 --> 00:51:22,720 yeah well the way it seemed but he's 1306 00:51:25,990 --> 00:51:24,720 still not out it's it's you know in 1307 00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:26,000 other words he would have been better 1308 00:51:29,430 --> 00:51:27,040 off to be 1309 00:51:31,829 --> 00:51:29,440 gotten out and be broke then 1310 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:31,839 be where he is now yeah in hindsight you 1311 00:51:35,510 --> 00:51:33,200 can see that 1312 00:51:37,829 --> 00:51:35,520 uh agreeing to to what his attorney 1313 00:51:38,790 --> 00:51:37,839 advised him to do was not the right 1314 00:51:40,790 --> 00:51:38,800 choice 1315 00:51:43,990 --> 00:51:40,800 but at the time the advice from his 1316 00:51:46,309 --> 00:51:44,000 attorney was take the plea deal you know 1317 00:51:48,710 --> 00:51:46,319 and and then of course then he 1318 00:51:50,390 --> 00:51:48,720 he has mazatelli that comes and says we 1319 00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:50,400 aren't going to win this 1320 00:51:52,950 --> 00:51:51,280 you know 1321 00:51:54,950 --> 00:51:52,960 and 1322 00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:54,960 it that probably affected his 1323 00:51:59,190 --> 00:51:56,880 decision-making as well 1324 00:52:01,030 --> 00:51:59,200 so well he was also being drunk so he 1325 00:52:02,069 --> 00:52:01,040 was also being drugged during this this 1326 00:52:03,910 --> 00:52:02,079 time 1327 00:52:05,750 --> 00:52:03,920 yes that's right that's a good point 1328 00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:05,760 that's a good point and massachusetts 1329 00:52:08,950 --> 00:52:08,079 was lying to him and continued to lie to 1330 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:08,960 him 1331 00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:11,599 yeah and uh and but he wouldn't testify 1332 00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:13,440 against them 1333 00:52:16,870 --> 00:52:15,040 and they had you know they had it out 1334 00:52:18,790 --> 00:52:16,880 from chile because massachusetts did not 1335 00:52:21,109 --> 00:52:18,800 want to be known as a rat 1336 00:52:22,390 --> 00:52:21,119 did not testify against john didn't sign 1337 00:52:25,750 --> 00:52:22,400 anything 1338 00:52:27,190 --> 00:52:25,760 and it was all based on psychiatric 1339 00:52:29,190 --> 00:52:27,200 you know second and third hand 1340 00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:29,200 psychiatric testimony 1341 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:31,440 uh and i think the documents in the 1342 00:52:35,349 --> 00:52:32,880 elaine douglas file the original 1343 00:52:37,829 --> 00:52:35,359 document am i correct he was interviewed 1344 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:37,839 by psychiatric by a psychiatrist i think 1345 00:52:41,589 --> 00:52:40,640 more than one when he was in jail 1346 00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:41,599 right 1347 00:52:46,230 --> 00:52:43,599 i remember they they portrayed him as 1348 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:46,240 you know having a large amount of uh 1349 00:52:51,190 --> 00:52:48,800 socks and underwear stored like as if he 1350 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:51,200 was waiting for the apocalypse you know 1351 00:52:55,190 --> 00:52:53,359 he did have a god 1352 00:52:56,870 --> 00:52:55,200 that i mean apparently he did have a lot 1353 00:52:58,870 --> 00:52:56,880 of stuff that he stored but they were 1354 00:53:01,750 --> 00:52:58,880 saying yeah you know they were they were 1355 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:04,230 like doing laundry 1356 00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:06,640 and he also uh 1357 00:53:11,510 --> 00:53:09,119 he also uh when he spoke to me when he 1358 00:53:13,750 --> 00:53:11,520 was in the jail he had the idea that he 1359 00:53:16,230 --> 00:53:13,760 was really gonna blow the minds of these 1360 00:53:19,349 --> 00:53:16,240 shrinks by telling them about ufos and 1361 00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:19,359 really opening their minds 1362 00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:21,359 he didn't realize he misestimated his 1363 00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:23,440 audience 1364 00:53:30,309 --> 00:53:27,119 they just treated him as a looney tune 1365 00:53:31,990 --> 00:53:30,319 yeah seriously seriously and i think 1366 00:53:33,910 --> 00:53:32,000 they you know they they picked him as a 1367 00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:33,920 skit as a scapegoat 1368 00:53:37,349 --> 00:53:36,000 probably because of that 1369 00:53:39,670 --> 00:53:37,359 they could they could point to him and 1370 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:39,680 say hey this guy believes in ufos he 1371 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:41,520

too well he was viewed 1497 00:58:32,710 --> 00:58:29,760 i mean a vendetta this was not about a 1498 00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:32,720 vendetta this was about damage control 1499 00:58:38,710 --> 00:58:35,280 and and eliminating him you know as a 1500 00:58:40,549 --> 00:58:38,720 target yeah it was not a vendetta driven 1501 00:58:42,309 --> 00:58:40,559 it was you know he was a potential 1502 00:58:43,270 --> 00:58:42,319 danger to these characters 1503 00:58:45,030 --> 00:58:43,280 and 1504 00:58:47,430 --> 00:58:45,040 you know we do know excuse me we do know 1505 00:58:50,150 -->

1635 01:03:46,069 --> 01:03:43,280 a shootout or not or if they were just 1636 01:03:48,309 --> 01:03:46,079 testing the fireworks out at the uh 1637 01:03:50,309 --> 01:03:48,319 i mean right behind

01:04:07,029 --> 01:04:04,160 should have known the sound of gunshots 1645 01:04:09,190 --> 01:04:07,039 i mean he used to go to the range 1646 01:04:11,990 --> 01:04:09,200 he had to take a firing you know test 1647 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:12,000 every so often to recertify so he could 1648 01:04:15,670 --> 01:04:13,440 carry her 1649 01:04:18,549 --> 01:04:15,680 sidearm you know in court he

--> 01:08:47,040 good legal advice and he he just 1766 01:08:52,870 --> 01:08:50,080 arbitrarily dismissed it 1767 01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:52,880 yeah he did just out of hand just missed 1768 01:08:57,269 --> 01:08:55,040 it i mean told her 1769 01:08:58,709 --> 01:08:57,279 no i'm not doing that or did he give a 1770 01:09:02,390 --> 01:08:58,719 reason 1771 01:09:03,749 --> 01:09:02,400 um he just said no he's gonna do 1772 01:09:05,829 --> 01:09:03,759 he's gonna do 1773 01:09:08,309 --> 01:09:05,839 to stick with the attorney that he had 1774 01:09:09,749 --> 01:09:08,319 she wanted him to dump the attorney that 1775 01:09:12,390 --> 01:09:09,759 he had 1776 01:09:14,950 --> 01:09:12,400 and he should have and he should have uh 1777 01:09:15,749 --> 01:09:14,960 but he was rosalie when he had rizzoli 1778 01:09:21,749 --> 01:09:15,759 yeah 1779 01:09:23,189 --> 01:09:21,759 and that was probably good advice 1780 01:09:25,189 --> 01:09:23,199 yeah and 1781 01:09:26,950 --> 01:09:25,199 you know she she's 1782 01:09:29,110 --> 01:09:26,960 she saw the writing on the wall and 1783 01:09:31,749 --> 01:09:29,120 there there was some advice on what he 1784 01:09:33,829 --> 01:09:31,759 should and shouldn't talk about any and 1785 01:09:36,550 --> 01:09:33,839 hey just for all of our listeners and 1786 01:09:38,709 --> 01:09:36,560 everybody in chat that's um that's a 1787 01:09:41,030 --> 01:09:38,719 lesson to be learned if you have to deal 1788 01:09:43,510 --> 01:09:41,040 with a legal beagle 1789 01:09:45,669 --> 01:09:43,520 you get to interview them too 1790 01:09:48,470 --> 01:09:45,679 and it's very important and i think 1791 01:09:49,910 --> 01:09:48,480 that's where john missed the boat 1792 01:09:52,870 --> 01:09:49,920 and it may have been because you know 1793 01:09:55,510 --> 01:09:52,880 being 20 years as a bailiff 1794 01:09:56,470 --> 01:09:55,520 in the court system he took the advice 1795 01:09:58,070 --> 01:09:56,480 of his 1796 01:10:01,270 --> 01:09:58,080 attorney 1797 01:10:03,270 --> 01:10:01,280 rausch and reno at that time reno was 1798 01:10:05,510 --> 01:10:03,280 not his attorney at that time no no i 1799 01:10:07,510 --> 01:10:05,520 yeah yeah i know later on yeah but he 1800 01:10:09,030 --> 01:10:07,520 was worthless as tits on a boar hog too 1801 01:10:10,870 --> 01:10:09,040 i'm sorry we had him on the show and i 1802 01:10:13,990 --> 01:10:10,880 was not impressed 1803 01:10:14,790 --> 01:10:14,000 okay well i i called it 1804 01:10:17,750 --> 01:10:14,800 and 1805 01:10:20,709 --> 01:10:17,760 it's important that you interview 1806 01:10:23,430 --> 01:10:20,719 the attorney also and ask them 1807 01:10:25,830 --> 01:10:23,440 appointment questions uh that's relative 1808 01:10:28,790 --> 01:10:25,840 to your case you know and i and 1809 01:10:31,669 --> 01:10:28,800 unfortunately john did didn't do that 1810 01:10:33,590 --> 01:10:31,679 for whatever reason and i suspect it was 1811 01:10:35,669 --> 01:10:33,600 because he was 1812 01:10:38,310 --> 01:10:35,679 involved in the court system 1813 01:10:39,750 --> 01:10:38,320 and he just took it as gospel 1814 01:10:42,390 --> 01:10:39,760 yeah that the the 1815 01:10:44,229 --> 01:10:42,400 that those two legal beagles wouldn't uh 1816 01:10:46,790 --> 01:10:44,239 wouldn't sell them down the drain which 1817 01:10:48,630 --> 01:10:46,800 in fact is exactly what they did 1818 01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:48,640 yeah well i think the main problem with 1819 01:10:52,950 --> 01:10:52,000 reno was not so much that he was 1820 01:10:54,470 --> 01:10:52,960 uh 1821 01:10:55,270 --> 01:10:54,480 an idiot 1822 01:11:02,470 --> 01:10:55,280 but 1823 01:11:05,590 --> 01:11:02,480 a case with this many strings tied to it 1824 01:11:07,430 --> 01:11:05,600 over his head yes 1825 01:11:10,390 --> 01:11:07,440 andrea rizzuli was too 1826 01:11:12,390 --> 01:11:10,400 yes hey uh uh peter remember my question

republican rule caused him to quit 1842 01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:43,520 politics but his hatred of county 1843 01:11:48,550 --> 01:11:46,080 republicans never left him 1844 01:11:50,709 --> 01:11:48,560

wanted something that would that would 1908 01:14:25,430 --> 01:14:21,760 that would set off the lowest setting 1909 01:14:26,870 --> 01:14:25,440 all he needed was this this real 1910 01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:26,880 mild uh 1911 01:14:30,390 --> 01:14:28,400 bit of radium 1912 01:14:31,910 --> 01:14:30,400 yeah he had the ore he had a piece of 1913 01:14:33,430 --> 01:14:31,920 the air in fact they weren't even able 1914 01:14:35,350 --> 01:14:33,440 to find that i don't even know what i 1915 01:14:36,790 --> 01:14:35,360 think he may have used it already put it 1916 01:14:39,270 --> 01:14:36,800 on the guy who found it and they became 1917 01:14:41,350 --> 01:14:39,280 part of the test trip 1918 01:14:42,950 --> 01:14:41,360 what i thought was interesting in the in 1919 01:14:44,390 --> 01:14:42,960 the interview for the news people they 1920 01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:44,400 had five 1921 01:14:48,390 --> 01:14:46,719 leaded containers there like you must 1922 01:14:50,709 --> 01:14:48,400 have had you know half of a nuclear 1923 01:14:51,430 --> 01:14:50,719 submarine there 1924 01:14:53,270 --> 01:14:51,440 yeah 1925 01:14:55,189 --> 01:14:53,280 it's a little tiny glass jar in the 1926 01:15:00,390 --> 01:14:55,199 middle of that that holds like about a 1927 01:15:05,189 --> 01:15:02,630 what the tv 1928 01:15:08,149 --> 01:15:05,199 show the news showed was this table that 1929 01:15:09,110 --> 01:15:08,159 had five big lead containers just like 1930 01:15:11,110 --> 01:15:09,120 you used 1931 01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:11,120 for radioactive so they didn't even 1932 01:15:14,550 --> 01:15:13,120 belong to him 1933 01:15:16,950 --> 01:15:14,560 not at all 1934 01:15:18,630 --> 01:15:16,960 well and and and here's here's the 1935 01:15:21,910 --> 01:15:18,640 problem with that and i'm just speaking 1936 01:15:24,070 --> 01:15:21,920 from from a law enforcement perspective 1937 01:15:25,430 --> 01:15:24,080 that they weren't in the house they were 1938 01:15:28,070 --> 01:15:25,440 in his car 1939 01:15:30,470 --> 01:15:28,080 and any first-year law 1940 01:15:33,669 --> 01:15:30,480 student could destroy that evidence in 1941 01:15:35,189 --> 01:15:33,679 court uh given the fact that hey 1942 01:15:36,310 --> 01:15:35,199 anybody could have got in that car and 1943 01:15:37,750 --> 01:15:36,320 put them in there did you find 1944 01:15:39,830 --> 01:15:37,760 fingerprints on those containers that 1945 01:15:42,149 --> 01:15:39,840 belonged to john ford they probably 1946 01:15:44,550 --> 01:15:42,159 didn't even

01:20:47,510 --> 01:20:45,520 judgment of being mentally unsound 2077 01:20:49,510 --> 01:20:47,520 we don't need to be bringing up points 2078 01:20:51,189 --> 01:20:49,520 that are contradictory no

01:20:55,280 and there's trolls listening to the show 2083 01:20:58,790 --> 01:20:57,040 tonight who are looking for any excuse 2084 01:21:00,950 --> 01:20:58,800 to rip the rug out from under it and say 2085 01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:00,960 oh [\h__\h] it he's insane 2086 01:21:04,709 --> 01:21:03,760 and this would be one more excuse so 2087 01:21:06,709 --> 01:21:04,719 uh 2088 01:21:08,229 --> 01:21:06,719 if you're gonna come on the air and say 2089 01:21:09,910 --> 01:21:08,239 well in the interview john didn't know 2090 01:21:11,590 --> 01:21:09,920 anything about corruption 2091 01:21:13,510 --> 01:21:11,600 we have to put a little addendum on 2092 01:21:14,790 --> 01:21:13,520 there and say maybe he wasn't allowed to 2093 01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:14,800 say anything 2094 01:21:19,189 --> 01:21:17,280 because that's not the case that's not 2095 01:21:20,870 --> 01:21:19,199 the case at all 2096 01:21:22,790 --> 01:21:20,880 yeah 2097 01:21:25,430 --> 01:21:22,800 exactly i was just surprised to hear him 2098 01:21:27,030 --> 01:21:25,440 say that to us because 2099 01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:27,040 i mean it's all through elaine's files 2100 01:21:31,430 --> 01:21:28,960 it's in newspaper articles et cetera et 2101 01:21:33,030 --> 01:21:31,440 cetera so i i would have fallen on the 2102 01:21:34,870 --> 01:21:33,040 floor if i was on that interview 2103 01:21:37,270 --> 01:21:34,880 listening to him say that you know it's 2104 01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:37,280 just like we were sitting down we were 2105 01:21:41,510 --> 01:21:39,840 sitting there but it was my job dropped 2106 01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:41,520 a little bit 2107 01:21:47,110 --> 01:21:44,159 but we didn't we didn't want 2108 01:21:49,910 --> 01:21:47,120 to pursue it and push him 2109 01:21:52,470 --> 01:21:49,920 any more than what he he said because he 2110 01:21:54,390 --> 01:21:52,480 he really came across like 2111 01:21:57,030 --> 01:21:54,400 all right this makes me angry that 2112 01:21:59,030 --> 01:21:57,040 everybody thinks that i know knew i knew 2113 01:22:01,990 --> 01:21:59,040 more than what 2114 01:22:04,149 --> 01:22:02,000 about corruption that was going on 2115 01:22:05,510 --> 01:22:04,159 and uh 2116 01:22:07,189 --> 01:22:05,520 quite frankly 2117 01:22:09,350 --> 01:22:07,199 he had to know about a lot of the 2118 01:22:11,830 --> 01:22:09,360 corruption his mother was involved and 2119 01:22:14,790 --> 01:22:11,840 he ran for political office and 2120 01:22:17,270 --> 01:22:14,800 and uh so they were they were deeply 2121 01:22:19,030 --> 01:22:17,280 involved with with politics 2122 01:22:21,990 --> 01:22:19,040 and um 2123 01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:22,000 yeah but you have to remember anybody 2124 01:22:27,350 --> 01:22:25,120 that was

01:22:32,320 brookhaven knew that that 2128 01:22:36,310 --> 01:22:34,800 everything was corrupt i mean it wasn't 2129 01:22:38,229 --> 01:22:36,320 just a matter of you know picking and 2130 01:22:41,189 --> 01:22:38,239 choosing you could call the highway 2131 01:22:43,270 --> 01:22:41,199 department or the parks department or 2132 01:22:46,070 --> 01:22:43,280 this or that and you know
