of waterloo, iowa is the birthplace of john wayne when actually it's the birthplace of john wayne gacy i think there is something to that. like gacy, people might think you're a clown if they dig a little deeper, they'll find that you are deadly serious. when you stumble on facts, don't get back into a corner. you double down. you say not only do you have the spirit of john wayne gacy, you've got the eyes of a young charles manson. >> john quincy adams most center was a part revolutionary war era. he was a young boy, but he was actively involved. >> but he wasn't a founding father. i mean, he was 9 at the time. if he'd signed the declaration of independence, this is what it would have looked like. >> former illinois governor rod blagojevich. >> hands shaky, can't seem to stand on my own two feet. hands are weak. >> recording elvis on your way here. a criminal verdict and you go with, "all shook up"? jailhouse rock didn't come up? >> 17 of the 20 corruption chorgs. extortion, water fraud, bribery and criminal abuse of styling moose. >> >> try to speak a little less. i'm going to keep my

it turns out he's not from waterloo, iowa, but john wayne gacy is from waterloo, iowa.n wayne was an actor. john wayne gacy was a serial killer who dressed as a clown. also an actor, in the way. if you are from waterloo, how do you not know that john wayne gacy is also from there? he's pretty notable. i mean, the next most famous resident of waterloo is the guy who grew the largest pumpkin at the state fair, right? bachmann also said our founding fathers fought tirelessly end to slavery, which is not what you might call true. [ laughter ] in fact, they had slaves and -- i guess that's why they weren't tired, but -- on "good morning america" today, george stephanopoulos asked michele to clarify that statement, and what an answer she gave. >> do you want to clear up some of your past statements? for example, earlier this year, you said that the founding fathers who wrote the constitution and the declaration of independence worked tirelessly to end slavery. now, with respect, congresswoman, that's just not true. many of them, including jefferson and washington were actuall

gacy was executed by lethal injection in 1994. the last execution to occur at stateville took place in 1998. since then, all illinois state with such a high concentration of criminals in the prison population, it was all natural that it would continue in states ville. >> in the old days we had quite a bit of violence here. >> when you get up you carry your shank with you. there was always trouble. >> i've been up here 11 years. the majority of the holes that you see around us are mine. i've seen officers beat up. i've seen inmates killed. i've seen them stabbed. i've seen bloody fights out here. >> one man who knows stateville better than most is captain kenneth morgan. he's worked here more than 28 years. he's seen the violent potential of the prison at its worst. >> we had a lot of problems with the gangs here at stateville carrying shanks, assaulting staff, assaulting other inmates. >> where are you going? >> we had an officer by the name of officer kush. probably one of the best officers i ever knew. he was returning from chow

gacy was executed by lethal injection in 1994. the last execution to occur at stateville took place in 1998. since then, all illinois state executions occur in a different maximum security facility. until it's torn down, stateville's death chamber remains fully operational as an emergency backup system. with such a high concentration of violent criminals in the prison population, it was only natural that the violence would continue within the walls of stateville. over the years, a number of incidents occurred that still reverberate among the old-timers today. >> in the old days we had quite a bit of violence here. you got up in the morning, you'd take a couple of magazines, go out and carry your shank wherever you want. you didn't know what was going to happen. who you was going to fight. there was always trouble. >> i've been up here 11 years. the majority of the holes that you see around us are mine. i've seen officers beat up. i've seen inmates killed. i've seen them stabbed. i've seen bloody fights out here. >> one man who kno
