An article, which l believe appearedin a newspaper, asked why,
:03:15
since it would seem that you arein effect the Mayor of Chicago,
:03:19
you're not simply beingappointed to that position.
:03:26
Well, l tell ya, it's touching.Like a lot of things in life,
:03:31
we laugh because it's funny,and we laugh because it's true.
:03:35
Some people say,reformers here say:
:03:37
"Put that man in jail,what does he think he is doing?"
:03:41
What l hope l'm doing, and here'swhere your paper's got a point,
:03:45
is l'm responding tothe will of the people.
:03:50
People are gonna drink. We allknow that. All l do is act on that.
:03:54
And all this talk of bootlegging.What is bootlegging?
:03:57
On the boat it's bootlegging,on Lake Shore Drive it's hospitality.
:04:01
l'm a businessman.
:04:05
Your reputation is that you controlyour business through violence.
:04:08
That those that don't purchase yourproduct are dealt with violently.
:04:18
lt's all right.
:04:21
l grew up in a tough neighbourhood.
:04:23
We used to say, "You can get furtherwith a kind word and a gun"
:04:26
"than you canwith just a kind word."
:04:31
And in that neighbourhoodit might've been true.
:04:33
And sometimesyour reputation follows you.
:04:38
There is violence in Chicago,but not by me
:04:41
and not by anybody l employ.Because it's not good business.
