[audience laughter] so i want this to be real. got some challenges ahead, but, uh, i'm gonna trust in the truth and as it says in the bible, "the truth shall set you free." rod blagojevich just...kept...talking. how are you? you wanna get on tv? come on in. i think he was able to warm himself a little bit with the public. better to be seen as a klutz than a crook. sure, everyone loves a good laugh, but oversaturating the talk show circuit may have had unintended consequences, as david letterman told rod when he appeared on the "late show" in 2009. the more you talked and the more you repeated your innocence, the more i said to myself, "oh, this guy's guilty." [laughter] so during the period from your impeachment to your trial and your sentencing, you did a lot of media appearances. what was the strategy behind that? my feeling was like, "look, i didn't do any of that stuff," and what does somebody do
