## Transcript

Harry Reid is such a fighter. The former boxer says he actually wanted to call it quits before his last election. But didn't wanna give in to his opponents. One newspaper here in Nevada kept beating up on me. And I said, I'm not gonna let the bastards beat me. And so. I decided to run last time. Now he's 75 and says it's time to leave before he gets too old. I wanted to be remembered for my first 34 years, not my last six. And I have done my best. On New Year's Day ,. Reed, a workout addict, who ran twenty marathons had a brutal exercise accident that left him severely bruised and for now blind in one eye.

It had to have cemented the decision. Well I'm not sure it cemented the decision, the first three weeks I couldn't do anything except feel sorry for myself, but I'm sure it had some bearing on my not running, but it wasn't the decision maker. Reed has led Senate Democrats for nearly ten years spearheading epic legislative battles like Obamacare with a scrappy style he learned fighting his way out of an impoverished childhood growing up in this shack with no running water, which he showed us several years ago. A wide variety of adjectives have been written about you, describing you Some good, some bad..

Some good some bad, let me just read a few. Scrappy, tough, blunt, canny behind the scenes mastermind, ruthless, are all those fair? Well that's what people think then that's what they think, they are entitled to their opinion. How would you describe yourself? I work very hard, I always have. Reid has been a most unlikely political leader in today's media age. Soft- spoken and gaffe prone. I recognized a long time ago that there's people that could speak a lot better than I can. There are people better looking than I am. There are people smarter than I am. But there's nobody that can work harder than I am, than I will.

I am very concerned about Nevada, I always have been, I'm concerned about the country, and my style may not be someone else's style but that's who I am. One thing he is not concerned about, what people think of him. I don't really care I don't want to be somebody I'm not. You're a polarizing figure and a lot of republicans actually blame you personally. For the way Congress and Washington in general has gotten so highly partisan in the last couple of years. That's interesting. I served as a Whip for a long time. And the Republicans of, were effusive in their praise for me. That was before he used the senate floor to go after GOP megadonors, the Cope brothers, and accuse Mitt Romney of not paying his taxes with no evidence.

Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't. No I don't regret that at all, the Cope brother, no one would help me, they were afraid the Cope brothers would go after them. So I did it on my own. So no regrets about Mitt Romney, about the Koch Brothers. Some people have even call, called it McCarthy- ite. Well, they can call it whatever they want. Romney didn't win, did he? Reid is most proud of using his Senate power to help Nevada bringing home the bacon. From renewable energy to revitalizing Las Vegas. Like this neighborhood where we spoke. U. S. News and World Report would come out every year with the biggest porker's.

I was so upset when I wasn't in the top two or three. So, no I'm proud of what I did with earmarks. If you work hard for these jobs and we all do. And you have some power. You should use it. [ INAUDIBLE ]
