About our federal government which generations of americans have fought and bled and died to create and protect and preserve when the real problem i think is not the government. But it is infiltration by corporate forces. I think if we could get those corporate forces where the Founding Fathers thought they should be which is out of election and out of politics, everybodys frustration with government could decline a lot.

I love illinois. And i cannot stand to see what pat and Rob Blagojevich have done to our homes that are at risk. The future for the children is in jeopardy under the failed leadership of the corruption, cronyism, the patronage of job losses, the brutally high taxes, to be funded schools. We are failing as a state and i will not let it happen. We need bipartisan solutions. We need real leadership. We can make illinois the greatest state and the greatest nation in the greatest nation on earth and i can drive the process. The people of illinois are fantastic.

They have a fascinating business story. They have a really riveting family story as well. What got you interested in it . I thought in the 2010, 2011 time frame you see charles koch a caricature of who these guys were. And once i started to peel back the layers of that a little bit look into their family background i said, wow, this is a really politics may be thats the least interesting thing about this family. In my mind i see them in the mold of the rockefellers and the carnegies in the sense that their legacy will extend in so many ways beyond our lifetime. Or they all alive . Yes.
