Have to listen closely to be totally freaked out about how it works. He was in a position to appoint himself a senator, and it could have been Oprah Winfrey. Forget everyone in Illinois voting for a senator or Mayor of Chicago. I wonder if that's how Fetterman became a senator for Pennsylvania.
But the affidavit says that “at various times, in exchange for the Senate appointment,” Blagojevich discussed obtaining “a substantial salary for himself at either a non-profit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions”; “placing his wife on paid corporate boards where he speculated she might garner as much as $150,000 a year”; or “promises of campaign funds” - including cash up front, and a cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself.
recorded conversation on Oct. 31, Blagojevich allegedly claimed he was approached by an associate of the Senate candidate as follows: “We were approached ‘pay to play.’ That, you know, he’d raise 500 grand. An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million, if I made him (Senate candidate 5) a senator.”
Deep Respect for Gov. Blagojavich!!!. Thank you for interviewing him. He is so inspiring. There are a few cases that parallel his, Trump obviously, convicted of 1 maybe misdemeanor bookkeeping error which had already expired, in 24 ways turned into a felony, and the Dem governor of Alabama Don Seigelman sentenced forgot how many years for a similar political felony that was bogus in the Carl Rove days. I can't remember how Rove was involved but Rove was dirty. Really outrageous!! I hope they can disbar these dirty self serving prosecutors!
My dad just finished 20 years on a rico conviction its fucking insane he got 14years the current governor of illinois is literally play musical chairs have toilets removed from his mansions so he has a lower tax bill
when you interviewing someone and their telling you something you have never heard dont interrupt and say "have you said this publicly before" . Its a buzkill, now the interviewee checks themself.
i did not understand untilk now how currupt they are. I feel for you. What you went thru no one understands unless they have been in prison. Ron, you are tough as nails. I would hire you today! I am sorry for what you went thru.
I love the way that Rod makes it sound like he only went to prison for being the only honest politician who was the only politician who cared about children. This is actually laughable, watch Rods interview with Anderson Cooper because Anderson rips him and his BS apart.
@@Solitaryman70 I'm sure that Rob was making enough money as governor there troll. It wouldn't surprise me if this is Rod himself just hiding behind a lame user name.
This was awesome. Barstool needs to post this on their main account.
Agreed
One of best interviews I’ve seen on here
Did not expect him to be this charismatic
He wouldn't have become governor if he wasn't charismatic.
He has the best hair in politics 😆
Him and Trump have best comb over coifs
Definitely a smart well spoken guy. Anyone who says the election wasn’t rigged I show them this.

Really enjoyed this and very interested and thanks.
Blago is the man!!! great interview boys .. you should turn this in to a regular thing

We the people are not paying attention. We need to turn back to Jesus
This was so good I could have watched a 4 hour interview
Hot damn this was good. I was hooked for all 75 minutes, Blago can talk! Bravo Eddie
I knew nothing about this. Great interview!
As a Illinois resident, put him back in office
The black community love this man , in our minds we understand he did alot for poor people and we know thats part of the reason they locked him up .
rod always has been the best
Fascinating. I remember when this went down but had no idea why. I hate politics but I gotta watch this doc.
Love the Chicago politic Fridays. Keep them up
Best governor illinois ever had.
Excellent conversation
I love this podcast. The Lightfoot episode reinforced my thoughts of her. This episode completely changed my view of Blagojevich.
Blago got railroaded.
PLAY ALL THE DAMN TAPES!!
Eddie this was Gold!
Eddie is the King!
We love Rod
Rod did a lot of good things for Illinois that most people will never know.

Because that is how everyone does it in politics. Why do you think a congressman can live how they live on the salary they get paid?
This was epic
07:55
lmfao
Hey Governor, wasn’t Harry Reed involved with your arrest? Please explain how Reed was involved.
What a cracking yarn! What a great guy!!
Love Rod ❤️
I wanna know if he got a prison tat
The system is total corrupted

I’m a Republican but I can smell the bullshit in this case. I’m glad Trump pardoned Blago, he deserved it.
After what they did to Trump, just very stupid people can think the system is not corrupt.
But trump won't do anything to change it, unfortunately
Wow, I always thought I liked him. I love him. F Madigan.
when you interviewing someone and their telling you something you have never heard dont interrupt and say "have you said this publicly before" . Its a buzkill, now the interviewee checks themself.
I’ll always love Blago! Wish he’d run again! At least he’s an honest crook!
Best way to put it! Lol 😂👏🏼
Blago for President 😆
Make America Golden again! 🇺🇸
I could tell this was gonna be legit after he asked "How's freedom???" hahaha.
Guy got railroaded!
“Madigan … faces 23 counts of racketeering, bribery, and official misconduct as part of a federal indictment. Madigan has pleaded not guilty.”
If blago was guilty don't you think he would keep his mouth shut and say i got away with one?
Should have been longer. Blago was great. Eddy is becoming to cocky.. relax a bit
Holy smokes
Eddie probably top content guy in the whole org
I never knew this. I couldn’t understand why Trump released him… I’m sorry I doubted you Blog
Gov Rod why did yñu consent to be interviewed by this group ?
They do not know their place.
*Sam Waterson has entered the chat*
$100,000.00 campaign contribution for hospital license in Chicago.
Somewhere along the way he upset a man wearing a small hat.
Anyone who believes he got railroaded is insane. The guy is on audio auctioning the seat off.
Making trades is part of politics. He wasn't trading the senate seat for personal gain
How much did he ask for?
The only thing I agree with him on is madigan is a criminal
Is Rod still a Democrat?
i did not understand untilk now how currupt they are. I feel for you. What you went thru no one understands unless they have been in prison. Ron, you are tough as nails. I would hire you today! I am sorry for what you went thru.
these guys are horrible interviewers lol especially goofball big guy lord

Rod needed the Money Genius so what’s your point? He also was on the Spew OOPPS I mean the View. 🤮
@@Solitaryman70 I'm sure that Rob was making enough money as governor there troll. It wouldn't surprise me if this is Rod himself just hiding behind a lame user name.
@Solitaryman70 Oops I mean Rod lol
Dude is corrupt as hell
