00:00:47,472 --> 00:00:51,042
6
00:00:51,464 --> 00:00:52,936
Do these look real?
7
00:00:52,961 --> 00:00:54,445
- No.
- No.
8
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:55,859
Where's Phyllis? She's up next.
9
00:00:55,884 --> 00:00:58,562
Oh, um, she's already there waiting.
10
00:00:59,195 --> 00:01:00,415
Next, we have the wife
11
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:05,449
of one of our biggest donors...
Mrs. J. Fred Schlafly.
12
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:08,710
Ready for summer in
this patriotic swimsuit
13
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:11,972
courtesy of Marshall Field.
14
00:01:11,997 --> 00:01:14,164
Fred is an attorney in Alton, Illinois.
15
00:01:14,189 --> 00:01:16,546
He and his wife have been
active in the Republican Party
16
00:01:16,571 --> 00:01:20,687
for many years, and we thank
them for coming out to support
17
00:01:20,712 --> 00:01:24,414
Congressman Phil Crane's
re-election campaign.
18
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:27,742
19
00:01:27,767 --> 00:01:30,014
20
00:01:30,039 --> 00:01:32,750
And next up is Mrs. Philip Crane,
21
00:01:32,775 --> 00:01:34,695
the wife of the man of the hour.
22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,320
Looks smart in this evening dress
23
00:01:36,345 --> 00:01:38,780
from Neiman Marcus. It's...
24
00:01:38,805 --> 00:01:42,453
25
00:01:42,954 --> 00:01:45,656
- Are you gonna buy the mink?
- I prefer sable.
26
00:01:45,681 --> 00:01:47,968
Thank God they asked
you to model this time.
27
00:01:47,993 --> 00:01:49,024
You know, when you were campaigning,
28
00:01:49,048 --> 00:01:50,343
I got stuck with the bikini,
29
00:01:50,368 --> 00:01:52,710
and I'd just given birth to
Sarah about 10 minutes earlier.
30
00:01:52,735 --> 00:01:54,570
You ran an incredible
campaign that year.
31
00:01:54,595 --> 00:01:55,945
Oh, thank you.
32
00:01:55,970 --> 00:01:58,898
If only you didn't have to
be a man to win downstate.
33
00:01:58,923 --> 00:02:02,460
Oh, that wasn't the issue.
It was a terrible year for us.
34
00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:04,335
You'd have to go back to 1934
35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,429
to find such a bad year for Republicans.
36
00:02:06,454 --> 00:02:08,255
My husband won.
37
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:13,717
Well, Fred said I would have won
38
00:02:13,742 --> 00:02:15,735
if the Democrats hadn't
rigged the congressional map
39
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:17,546
in their favor.
40
00:02:17,945 --> 00:02:20,132
How are your kids
adjusting to D. C. life?
41
00:02:20,157 --> 00:02:22,857
- You bought a house in Alexandria.
- McLean.
42
00:02:22,882 --> 00:02:24,867
Oh, I hear that's a lovely neighborhood.
43
00:02:24,892 --> 00:02:26,992
- Are you ladies decent?
- Hi!
44
00:02:27,017 --> 00:02:28,382
- Oh.
- Hi.
45
00:02:28,407 --> 00:02:29,520
Did you have a good time out there?
46
00:02:29,544 --> 00:02:31,179
- Yes.
- Okay.
47
00:02:31,898 --> 00:02:33,492
Now shoo, so we can get changed.
48
00:02:33,517 --> 00:02:35,015
Okay, well, thank you all again.
49
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,579
This event wouldn't be
a success without you,
50
00:02:36,603 --> 00:02:38,249
and I look forward to having
you on my show next week.
51
00:02:38,273 --> 00:02:40,281
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, please wear that.
52
00:02:40,306 --> 00:02:42,640
53
00:02:42,665 --> 00:02:45,039
54
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:49,929
55
00:02:49,954 --> 00:02:56,954
56
00:03:35,983 --> 00:03:40,227
57
00:03:54,165 --> 00:03:56,516
Looks good. We need to white balance.
58
00:03:56,541 --> 00:03:58,930
- What about off her face?
59
00:03:58,955 --> 00:04:01,158
- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- Good afternoon, Mr. Crane.
60
00:04:01,182 --> 00:04:04,126
How are you?
I'm so sorry to keep you waiting.
61
00:04:04,151 --> 00:04:05,172
- No.
- Hi.
62
00:04:05,197 --> 00:04:07,586
Hey. I had to release a statement
63
00:04:07,611 --> 00:04:09,580
on the Consumer Product Safety Act.
64
00:04:09,605 --> 00:04:11,001
Oh. How will you vote?
65
00:04:11,026 --> 00:04:13,102
You'll have to ask my chief of staff.
66
00:04:13,595 --> 00:04:15,041
Mr. Crane,
we're starting in about a minute.
67
00:04:15,065 --> 00:04:18,266
All right. Okay, so I will begin
68
00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:19,680
by introducing the topic.
69
00:04:19,705 --> 00:04:20,876
- Mm-hmm.
- And then I'm gonna ask you
70
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:22,702
to weigh in. It's debate style.
71
00:04:22,727 --> 00:04:24,119
But I'm gonna throw
you some easy questions
72
00:04:24,143 --> 00:04:25,845
so you don't seem in over
your head, okay? Thank you.
73
00:04:25,869 --> 00:04:27,516
- Okay.
- And I might disagree with you
74
00:04:27,541 --> 00:04:29,805
just to make it more
fun for the viewers, so...
75
00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:32,461
Relax. Look like you're having fun,
even if you're not.
76
00:04:32,486 --> 00:04:35,022
And, uh, don't forget to smile.
77
00:04:35,577 --> 00:04:37,977
- What?
- Smile with teeth.
78
00:04:38,002 --> 00:04:40,438
- Rolling!
- You wanna practice?
79
00:04:40,691 --> 00:04:42,314
- I think I've got it.
80
00:04:42,338 --> 00:04:44,516
Okay. We're up.
81
00:04:44,541 --> 00:04:46,135
- Action.
82
00:04:46,819 --> 00:04:49,211
Good evening and welcome to
"Conservative Viewpoint."
83
00:04:49,236 --> 00:04:50,977
I'm your host, Philip Crane.
84
00:04:51,002 --> 00:04:53,743
My guest tonight hails from
our home state of Illinois.
85
00:04:53,768 --> 00:04:56,422
She burst onto the
national scene in 1964,
86
00:04:56,447 --> 00:04:58,368
when she wrote "A Choice Not an Echo,"
87
00:04:58,393 --> 00:05:00,415
which sold 3 million copies
88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,860
and was widely credited
with helping Barry Goldwater
89
00:05:02,885 --> 00:05:05,329
secure the Republican
presidential nomination.
90
00:05:05,354 --> 00:05:08,692
She has since authored four
books on nuclear strategy
91
00:05:08,717 --> 00:05:10,672
and served in national party offices.
92
00:05:10,697 --> 00:05:12,897
Please welcome Phyllis Schlafly.
93
00:05:12,922 --> 00:05:14,961
- Well, thank you for having me.
- Absolutely.
94
00:05:14,986 --> 00:05:16,547
- You know, I gotta know...
- Mm-hmm.
95
00:05:16,572 --> 00:05:18,946
How does a housewife with six children
96
00:05:18,971 --> 00:05:21,336
from Alton, Illinois,
become so interested
97
00:05:21,361 --> 00:05:23,477
in national defense and nuclear warfare?
98
00:05:23,502 --> 00:05:26,047
Well, I was at Washington University
99
00:05:26,072 --> 00:05:29,540
studying political science
when World War II broke out,
100
00:05:29,565 --> 00:05:32,829
and I worked nights as a gunner
and a ballistics technician.
101
00:05:32,854 --> 00:05:35,485
- A regular Rosie the Riveter.
- Yes, that's right, so...
102
00:05:35,510 --> 00:05:37,211
Uh, tonight's topic is the crisis
103
00:05:37,236 --> 00:05:38,790
in America's defense posture,
104
00:05:38,815 --> 00:05:43,055
specifically the Strategic
Arms Limitation Talks, or SALT.
105
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,084
Now should we accept a deal
with a regime as reprehensible
106
00:05:47,109 --> 00:05:48,774
as Brezhnev's Soviet Union?
107
00:05:48,799 --> 00:05:49,892
From a defense standpoint,
108
00:05:49,917 --> 00:05:51,718
this pact serves certain
common interests...
109
00:05:51,743 --> 00:05:54,391
Namely, the avoidance of nuclear war.
110
00:05:54,416 --> 00:05:56,243
You would agree with
that assessment, Phyllis?
111
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:59,618
- Well, not entirely, no.
- Not entirely?
112
00:05:59,643 --> 00:06:00,954
Which part don't you agree with?
113
00:06:00,979 --> 00:06:02,985
Well, I'm afraid all of it, Phil.
114
00:06:03,010 --> 00:06:05,860
You see, the U. S. delegation
115
00:06:05,885 --> 00:06:07,993
has naively been telling
the Russians, you know,
116
00:06:08,018 --> 00:06:09,502
"Peace is wonderful.
Try it. You'll like it."
117
00:06:09,526 --> 00:06:12,516
It's like Life cereal.
But I think they're gonna get
118
00:06:12,541 --> 00:06:14,758
the last laugh because the only country
119
00:06:14,783 --> 00:06:17,235
that's gonna comply with the
pact is the United States.
120
00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:19,157
They don't comply, we'll know, won't we?
121
00:06:19,182 --> 00:06:21,161
The experts maintain we have
the most advanced satellite
122
00:06:21,185 --> 00:06:22,994
- technology systems in the world.
- Yes, but these are the same
123
00:06:23,018 --> 00:06:24,743
experts that didn't find the missiles
124
00:06:24,768 --> 00:06:27,001
that went into Cuba in 1962.
125
00:06:27,026 --> 00:06:29,751
I mean, they didn't even
detect the Soviet-built MiG-17
126
00:06:29,776 --> 00:06:31,735
flying from Cuba to
Homestead Air Force Base
127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,086
in Florida two years ago.
128
00:06:35,290 --> 00:06:38,202
Uh, so you think we're proceeding
down the wrong path
129
00:06:38,227 --> 00:06:40,102
- with the SALT talks.
- Yeah, well, not only
130
00:06:40,127 --> 00:06:41,956
are we proceeding down
the wrong path, Phil,
131
00:06:41,981 --> 00:06:44,011
but Nixon's leading the parade.
132
00:06:44,036 --> 00:06:45,902
133
00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:48,496
All right. Well, we will be right back
134
00:06:48,521 --> 00:06:52,253
after this commercial on more
Strategic Arms Limitation Talks.
135
00:06:52,278 --> 00:06:53,917
- Cut.
136
00:06:53,942 --> 00:06:56,766
And I am having so much fun.
137
00:06:56,791 --> 00:06:58,260
138
00:06:58,285 --> 00:07:01,120
139
00:07:03,246 --> 00:07:06,753
Well, that was... electrifying.
140
00:07:06,778 --> 00:07:09,488
You are... Wow.
141
00:07:09,513 --> 00:07:11,542
You are a star.
142
00:07:13,777 --> 00:07:14,844
143
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:16,404
144
00:07:16,429 --> 00:07:18,878
These sound guys...
you know, they listen to everything.
145
00:07:18,903 --> 00:07:20,042
Oh.
146
00:07:20,067 --> 00:07:22,002
Am I gonna see you
on the campaign trail?
147
00:07:22,446 --> 00:07:24,136
I don't know.
148
00:07:24,161 --> 00:07:26,449
I have to see what the
county chairman decides.
149
00:07:26,474 --> 00:07:27,738
I've already lost twice.
150
00:07:27,763 --> 00:07:29,370
Well, the third time's a charm.
151
00:07:29,395 --> 00:07:31,378
You know, there's things you can do
152
00:07:31,403 --> 00:07:33,878
to get these county chairmen
to come knock on your door.
153
00:07:33,903 --> 00:07:35,369
- Hmm?
- I can introduce you
154
00:07:35,394 --> 00:07:37,009
to some money guys.
155
00:07:37,853 --> 00:07:39,884
When are you next in D. C.?
156
00:07:41,503 --> 00:07:43,613
- I'm not sure.
- Well, Ashbrook and I
157
00:07:43,638 --> 00:07:45,509
are setting up a meeting with Goldwater.
158
00:07:45,534 --> 00:07:48,837
He's our best hope at convincing
Nixon not to sign this treaty.
159
00:07:49,211 --> 00:07:51,345
And I think you should come for that.
160
00:07:51,370 --> 00:07:52,905
Really?
161
00:07:52,930 --> 00:07:55,189
You know more than any of us about SALT.
162
00:07:55,777 --> 00:07:59,720
Well, that would be wonderful.
Thank you.
163
00:08:11,153 --> 00:08:13,122
164
00:08:13,147 --> 00:08:15,295
165
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,880
- You tried Marshall Field's?
- Mm-hmm, yes.
166
00:08:17,905 --> 00:08:20,545
- How about Scrugg's?
- Yes.
167
00:08:20,570 --> 00:08:22,513
Oh, nothing at Scrugg's?
168
00:08:22,538 --> 00:08:25,209
Well, yes, but she says nothing fits.
169
00:08:25,234 --> 00:08:27,499
Well, I'll have to go back in
the city and look some more.
170
00:08:27,523 --> 00:08:29,841
Your sister can't do it?
She lives right there.
171
00:08:29,866 --> 00:08:32,021
No. She works.
172
00:08:32,046 --> 00:08:33,584
I... work.
173
00:08:33,609 --> 00:08:36,740
- You're a good daughter.
- You're coming, right?
174
00:08:37,326 --> 00:08:38,959
I don't think so.
175
00:08:38,984 --> 00:08:41,662
The girls will want
their Aunt Eleanor there.
176
00:08:43,209 --> 00:08:45,166
We only call it the
Mother-Daughter luncheon
177
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,638
because we're trying to
attract a younger generation.
178
00:08:47,663 --> 00:08:49,341
- It's not literal.
179
00:08:49,366 --> 00:08:51,318
It's open to any member of the DAR.
180
00:08:51,343 --> 00:08:53,512
Willie just pulled
these out of the oven.
181
00:08:53,537 --> 00:08:56,474
- Snuck you a couple.
- Thank you, Leonia.
182
00:08:56,499 --> 00:09:00,146
Andy was looking for
his Little League uniform.
183
00:09:00,171 --> 00:09:02,060
Oh, it's still in the dryer,
Miss Schlafly.
184
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:04,685
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
185
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,322
Do you remember Raymond Bacha?
186
00:09:12,347 --> 00:09:15,017
Yeah, I saw him
at Phil Crane's fundraiser.
187
00:09:15,156 --> 00:09:19,322
- He's divorced now.
- Oh, that's too bad.
188
00:09:22,166 --> 00:09:25,275
- Oh, no. No. No.
- He's nice-looking,
189
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,556
and his children are mostly grown.
190
00:09:27,581 --> 00:09:28,931
Do you want me to talk to Fred?
191
00:09:28,956 --> 00:09:31,423
I think he represented him once.
192
00:09:31,448 --> 00:09:32,861
I don't think so.
193
00:09:33,580 --> 00:09:35,376
He's Catholic.
194
00:09:37,823 --> 00:09:39,926
He is nice-looking.
195
00:09:41,427 --> 00:09:43,211
Oh.
196
00:09:43,507 --> 00:09:45,734
What are you smiling about?
197
00:09:47,201 --> 00:09:50,180
The judges approved
the redistricting plan.
198
00:09:50,205 --> 00:09:51,383
Mm-hmm.
199
00:09:51,408 --> 00:09:52,859
200
00:09:53,589 --> 00:09:55,828
"The new map could mean the defeat
201
00:09:55,853 --> 00:09:58,689
"of downstate Democrat
Representative George E. Shipley
202
00:09:58,714 --> 00:10:00,289
of the 23rd district."
203
00:10:00,314 --> 00:10:02,375
I need to talk to Fred.
204
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,352
- W-Would you...
- Drop Andy off at practice.
205
00:10:04,377 --> 00:10:05,797
Thank you!
206
00:10:06,194 --> 00:10:09,539
- Well, what do you think of him?
- Well, I don't.
207
00:10:09,564 --> 00:10:12,141
Hmm, but you're friendly
enough to call him.
208
00:10:12,607 --> 00:10:15,176
Well, I guess so,
but why am I calling him?
209
00:10:15,201 --> 00:10:17,641
To introduce him to your sister.
210
00:10:17,666 --> 00:10:20,953
- But why?
- Oh. Because he's divorced.
211
00:10:21,599 --> 00:10:23,211
Well, Eleanor's too old for him.
212
00:10:23,236 --> 00:10:25,031
No, he's older than she is.
213
00:10:25,056 --> 00:10:26,766
Raymond is a very successful man.
214
00:10:26,791 --> 00:10:29,261
If he remarries,
it'll be to someone much younger.
215
00:10:30,225 --> 00:10:32,508
Don't give me that look. It's biology.
216
00:10:32,533 --> 00:10:34,547
That is not biology.
217
00:10:34,572 --> 00:10:36,297
I married someone much younger.
218
00:10:36,322 --> 00:10:38,383
And here I thought you
married me for my mind.
219
00:10:38,408 --> 00:10:40,063
Not only did I marry you for your mind,
220
00:10:40,088 --> 00:10:42,516
it's the reason I fall more
in love with you every day.
221
00:10:42,913 --> 00:10:45,195
I just love to watch
the way your mind works.
222
00:10:45,563 --> 00:10:48,188
Well, can you see the
way it's working right now?
223
00:10:48,213 --> 00:10:50,066
Let's see. This morning,
224
00:10:50,091 --> 00:10:51,563
I noticed that article in the paper
225
00:10:51,588 --> 00:10:54,313
about the remapping of
congressional districts.
226
00:10:54,338 --> 00:10:56,461
Next thing you know,
my wife shows up at the office
227
00:10:56,486 --> 00:10:59,734
under the pretext of buying
my mother-in-law a dress.
228
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,141
Oh, I do need to buy mother a dress.
229
00:11:02,304 --> 00:11:04,506
The muffins are the pretext.
230
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:09,110
Don't forget to sign the
charge card application.
231
00:11:10,359 --> 00:11:12,195
I know you don't want to hear this,
232
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:14,555
but, uh, our district has only changed
233
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:16,945
from slightly Democratic
to slightly Republican.
234
00:11:16,970 --> 00:11:19,405
Well, I was only slightly defeated.
235
00:11:20,222 --> 00:11:23,414
You have a nice home here.
You can do whatever you like.
236
00:11:23,439 --> 00:11:27,136
Write books, your newsletter.
Give lectures.
237
00:11:27,161 --> 00:11:30,000
In Congress, I would have influence.
238
00:11:30,025 --> 00:11:31,689
I could get on the Armed
Services Committee.
239
00:11:31,713 --> 00:11:34,258
They'll put you on Natural
Resources or Judiciary
240
00:11:34,283 --> 00:11:35,712
and expect you to toe the party line.
241
00:11:35,736 --> 00:11:39,930
Isn't this why we got involved
in politics... to do our duty?
242
00:11:39,955 --> 00:11:41,423
To guarantee that our children grow up
243
00:11:41,447 --> 00:11:43,727
in a free and independent country?
244
00:11:43,752 --> 00:11:46,855
That's a nice trick,
repeating me back to me.
245
00:11:47,064 --> 00:11:48,578
Still, I haven't recovered
246
00:11:48,603 --> 00:11:50,940
from all the money I
sunk into your last bid.
247
00:11:50,965 --> 00:11:54,063
248
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:55,867
What about Clem?
249
00:11:55,892 --> 00:11:58,297
I don't know. Maybe you
could run into him at the club.
250
00:11:58,322 --> 00:12:00,357
- I heard there were muffins.
251
00:12:00,529 --> 00:12:03,172
- May I?
- I brought them for the office.
252
00:12:03,641 --> 00:12:05,345
Nancy won't keep any sweets
around the house.
253
00:12:05,369 --> 00:12:06,899
She wants to try to
lose the baby weight.
254
00:12:06,923 --> 00:12:07,923
How is the baby?
255
00:12:07,948 --> 00:12:09,759
Oh,
he mostly just sits there.
256
00:12:09,784 --> 00:12:11,196
Nancy keeps telling me to talk to him,
257
00:12:11,220 --> 00:12:13,750
but what am I supposed to
talk to him about, Vietnam?
258
00:12:14,086 --> 00:12:15,766
These are delicious.
259
00:12:15,791 --> 00:12:18,660
Have you ever thought about
starting a baking business?
260
00:12:19,146 --> 00:12:21,914
No, I've never thought about that.
261
00:12:21,939 --> 00:12:25,633
262
00:12:28,958 --> 00:12:31,695
I, uh, I'll talk to Clem.
263
00:12:33,612 --> 00:12:35,508
Will you invite him
and Jessie for dinner?
264
00:12:35,533 --> 00:12:37,039
Mm-hmm.
265
00:12:37,064 --> 00:12:38,992
- So I can be there.
- Mm-hmm.
266
00:12:39,017 --> 00:12:40,484
Ah!
267
00:12:41,049 --> 00:12:42,383
Oh.
268
00:12:46,325 --> 00:12:50,662
269
00:12:50,687 --> 00:12:54,246
270
00:12:55,207 --> 00:13:00,612
271
00:13:00,865 --> 00:13:03,949
272
00:13:03,974 --> 00:13:06,577
But everyone keeps telling
me it's more convenient.
273
00:13:06,602 --> 00:13:08,722
Formula just doesn't
have all the vitamins
274
00:13:08,747 --> 00:13:10,247
your baby needs for his immune system.
275
00:13:10,271 --> 00:13:11,856
And it doesn't help you
lose the baby weight.
276
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,255
- Oh, I thought that was a myth.
- No, let me tell you something.
277
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:16,644
I was 40 by the time I nursed Anne,
278
00:13:16,669 --> 00:13:18,847
and after six months,
I weighed the same I did
279
00:13:18,872 --> 00:13:20,097
on the day I was married.
280
00:13:20,122 --> 00:13:22,988
Still do. You looked
teeny-tiny like Cheryl Tiegs
281
00:13:23,013 --> 00:13:25,015
on Phil Crane's show, and supposedly,
282
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,510
those television cameras add 10 pounds.
283
00:13:27,535 --> 00:13:28,535
You watched it.
284
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,261
Of course I did.
I'm your biggest booster.
285
00:13:32,135 --> 00:13:34,511
Although, I have to be honest.
I was surprised
286
00:13:34,536 --> 00:13:35,863
that you didn't come out strongly
287
00:13:35,888 --> 00:13:37,184
against the Equal Rights Amendment.
288
00:13:37,208 --> 00:13:38,739
Oh, I don't know what
all the fuss is about.
289
00:13:38,763 --> 00:13:40,899
I mean, there are so many
more pressing issues
290
00:13:40,924 --> 00:13:42,285
like national security.
291
00:13:42,310 --> 00:13:44,020
Well, this is a matter
of national security.
292
00:13:44,044 --> 00:13:46,371
They're going to ship our
daughters off to Vietnam.
293
00:13:46,396 --> 00:13:47,957
Women could be subject to the draft?
294
00:13:47,982 --> 00:13:49,544
And I heard it would get rid of alimony.
295
00:13:49,568 --> 00:13:51,636
- Oh, I heard that, too.
- Buck could walk out on me
296
00:13:51,661 --> 00:13:53,457
after 25 years without paying a dime.
297
00:13:53,482 --> 00:13:54,715
I'd be left with nothing.
298
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:57,371
You know, this would be a
good topic for the luncheon.
299
00:13:57,396 --> 00:13:58,816
I'm not the only one concerned.
300
00:13:58,841 --> 00:14:00,152
Buck's never going to leave you.
301
00:14:00,177 --> 00:14:02,308
Oh, only because I'd kill him if he did.
302
00:14:02,778 --> 00:14:04,597
You have nothing to worry about.
303
00:14:04,622 --> 00:14:07,371
You have skills and been
politicking for years.
304
00:14:07,396 --> 00:14:10,567
Well, yes, but I barely
receive an income for it.
305
00:14:10,592 --> 00:14:12,614
I mean, I couldn't do what
I do without Fred's support.
306
00:14:12,638 --> 00:14:15,293
Still, you're not just a housewife.
307
00:14:15,318 --> 00:14:17,488
You're never just a housewife.
308
00:14:17,513 --> 00:14:19,448
There's no more
important job for a woman.
309
00:14:19,473 --> 00:14:21,316
Well, tell that to the
host of the dinner party
310
00:14:21,341 --> 00:14:23,324
we were invited to last week.
311
00:14:23,749 --> 00:14:25,925
He was introducing
everyone at the table.
312
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:27,402
- Mm-hmm.
- Two of the wives work.
313
00:14:27,427 --> 00:14:28,949
One's a lawyer. One's in business.
314
00:14:28,974 --> 00:14:33,178
And after he introduced Buck,
he skips over me completely,
315
00:14:33,203 --> 00:14:34,988
doesn't even say my name.
316
00:14:35,013 --> 00:14:36,347
Hmm.
317
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:39,667
- Thank you, Gloria Steinem.
318
00:14:40,791 --> 00:14:43,707
The rest of them I understand,
but Gloria Steinem...
319
00:14:43,732 --> 00:14:46,970
She's so pretty.
How could she not find a husband?
320
00:14:46,995 --> 00:14:48,699
I think she doesn't want one.
321
00:14:48,724 --> 00:14:51,113
That's the whole point of the
women's liberation movement...
322
00:14:51,138 --> 00:14:53,097
To be liberated from men.
323
00:14:53,122 --> 00:14:56,011
I thought the point was to
be liberated from housework.
324
00:14:56,036 --> 00:14:58,277
- Your mother's all done.
325
00:14:58,302 --> 00:15:00,871
Didn't she do a wonderful job?
326
00:15:00,896 --> 00:15:03,331
Thank you so much. It's beautiful.
327
00:15:04,785 --> 00:15:06,590
You hate it.
328
00:15:06,789 --> 00:15:08,410
I hate it.
329
00:15:08,504 --> 00:15:12,933
330
00:15:14,925 --> 00:15:18,410
331
00:15:18,435 --> 00:15:21,965
332
00:15:21,990 --> 00:15:24,050
Do you need any help?
333
00:15:28,533 --> 00:15:30,134
Mother?
334
00:15:34,023 --> 00:15:36,258
I think that's the one.
335
00:15:37,563 --> 00:15:40,050
You don't think it's
big in the shoulders?
336
00:15:40,519 --> 00:15:42,822
We could take it to my seamstress.
337
00:15:44,147 --> 00:15:45,863
Let me take another look.
338
00:15:51,426 --> 00:15:53,355
You have to wind the
clock every seven days,
339
00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:54,683
or it stops working.
340
00:15:54,708 --> 00:15:58,121
Well, I can't find the crank.
I should just get rid of it.
341
00:15:58,146 --> 00:16:00,496
You can't get rid of Daddy's clock.
342
00:16:01,074 --> 00:16:02,886
I'll take it.
343
00:16:03,225 --> 00:16:04,918
It is smart.
344
00:16:05,290 --> 00:16:07,124
It's very smart.
345
00:16:09,888 --> 00:16:12,605
Did you... forget to pay some bills?
346
00:16:12,630 --> 00:16:14,028
Why are you going through my things?
347
00:16:14,052 --> 00:16:15,736
I wasn't going through
your things, Mother.
348
00:16:15,761 --> 00:16:17,074
They just jumped out.
349
00:16:17,099 --> 00:16:19,238
Do you need me to help you manage them?
350
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:24,808
Have you run through your savings?
351
00:16:25,159 --> 00:16:27,644
I can't live on my
Social Security check.
352
00:16:27,669 --> 00:16:29,496
- Mm-hmm.
- Your father didn't work
353
00:16:29,521 --> 00:16:31,168
- long enough to be eligible...
- I know.
354
00:16:31,193 --> 00:16:33,028
- ... for a pension.
- Mm-hmm.
355
00:16:33,594 --> 00:16:37,105
- He was many wonderful things.
- Mother, please don't start.
356
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:39,933
But a good provider was not one of them.
357
00:16:41,688 --> 00:16:44,425
You're very lucky you have Fred.
358
00:16:45,258 --> 00:16:46,793
Remember to thank him for me.
359
00:16:46,818 --> 00:16:49,129
- Oh, yeah.
- For the dress.
360
00:16:49,154 --> 00:16:52,658
It's, uh... I love it.
361
00:16:56,978 --> 00:16:58,512
362
00:17:00,432 --> 00:17:02,660
363
00:17:02,685 --> 00:17:04,355
364
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:05,644
- Can I have one?
365
00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:07,059
- You'll ruin your appetite.
366
00:17:07,083 --> 00:17:09,082
- Hi, Mommy.
- Hello!
367
00:17:09,699 --> 00:17:11,793
The spinach soufflé will
be ready in 10 minutes.
368
00:17:11,818 --> 00:17:13,075
Everything else is on top of the stove.
369
00:17:13,099 --> 00:17:15,719
Thank you, Willie. Mr. Schlafly home?
370
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:17,370
Not yet.
371
00:17:18,006 --> 00:17:20,721
Alice came by and
dropped this off for you.
372
00:17:26,392 --> 00:17:29,159
373
00:17:32,710 --> 00:17:34,604
374
00:17:37,699 --> 00:17:39,456
375
00:17:39,481 --> 00:17:42,104
Uh, Andy. Make yourself useful.
Ring for dinner.
376
00:17:42,129 --> 00:17:45,026
- Phyl, would you?
- Anne, help your sister.
377
00:17:45,051 --> 00:17:46,995
- How did it go?
378
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:48,620
Can I take my coat off at least
379
00:17:48,645 --> 00:17:49,941
- and settle in?
- Let me get that for you.
380
00:17:49,965 --> 00:17:50,965
Who was there?
381
00:17:50,990 --> 00:17:54,561
The usual crowd, Foster, Jerry.
382
00:17:55,261 --> 00:17:57,557
So? What did Clem say?
383
00:17:57,590 --> 00:17:58,894
Can we talk about this after dinner?
384
00:17:58,918 --> 00:18:00,519
Oh, of course.
385
00:18:00,544 --> 00:18:04,182
386
00:18:04,350 --> 00:18:05,917
Can you just tell me what he said?
387
00:18:05,942 --> 00:18:08,538
I invited him to dinner
like we discussed.
388
00:18:08,563 --> 00:18:10,643
- No running, please.
- Sorry, Mom.
389
00:18:11,199 --> 00:18:13,893
- When?
- Linda's handling it.
390
00:18:14,248 --> 00:18:16,261
But he thinks it's a good idea.
391
00:18:16,286 --> 00:18:17,667
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
392
00:18:17,692 --> 00:18:19,487
It's just very exciting.
393
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,050
Now it would be terrific
if the dinner could happen
394
00:18:23,075 --> 00:18:25,210
before my trip to D. C.
395
00:18:25,447 --> 00:18:27,604
What trip to D. C.?
396
00:18:28,137 --> 00:18:30,909
The Goldwater meeting about SALT.
397
00:18:30,934 --> 00:18:32,175
How long will you be gone?
398
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,886
It's just for the day.
Eleanor will be here.
399
00:18:34,911 --> 00:18:37,323
I don't know how you
can stand that place.
400
00:18:37,348 --> 00:18:39,964
Well, I don't love Washington either.
401
00:18:40,504 --> 00:18:43,373
- But, Fred, if I win...
- I-I am not moving our family
402
00:18:43,398 --> 00:18:45,346
to that lefty, godless swampland.
403
00:18:45,371 --> 00:18:48,120
Well, the National Air
and Space Museum's nice.
404
00:18:48,145 --> 00:18:49,917
I'm not, uh, telling you not to run.
405
00:18:49,942 --> 00:18:52,261
I'm just telling you,
I am staying here in Alton.
406
00:18:52,529 --> 00:18:55,112
I'll commute back and forth.
407
00:18:55,137 --> 00:18:57,487
Oh, and how would that
work with the children
408
00:18:57,512 --> 00:19:01,620
- and, uh, your mother?
- I'll... figure it out.
409
00:19:01,645 --> 00:19:03,393
You know, it's what congressmen do.
410
00:19:03,418 --> 00:19:05,550
- They stay in their district.
411
00:19:05,575 --> 00:19:07,948
Well, it's different for a
man to leave his wife home
412
00:19:07,973 --> 00:19:09,768
and go to Washington
than it is for a woman
413
00:19:09,793 --> 00:19:12,698
to leave her whole family.
It's just plain different.
414
00:19:14,063 --> 00:19:15,972
Do you want me not to run?
415
00:19:15,997 --> 00:19:17,417
That's your decision.
416
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:18,839
Is it?
417
00:19:18,864 --> 00:19:21,792
Well, I'm not going to
apologize for asking my wife
418
00:19:21,817 --> 00:19:23,182
not to split up the family.
419
00:19:23,207 --> 00:19:24,943
Now you're just being ridiculous.
420
00:19:25,854 --> 00:19:29,136
I will make it work, Fred.
You won't have to do a thing.
421
00:19:29,653 --> 00:19:31,292
'Cause I don't understand
what's changed.
422
00:19:31,317 --> 00:19:33,651
You supported my run two years ago.
423
00:19:39,176 --> 00:19:41,096
You didn't think I would win.
424
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,967
425
00:19:43,992 --> 00:19:49,992
426
00:19:59,209 --> 00:20:02,023
Bless us, Oh Lord,
and these, Thy gifts
427
00:20:02,048 --> 00:20:04,984
which we're about to
receive from Thy bounty,
428
00:20:05,009 --> 00:20:07,765
through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
429
00:20:09,350 --> 00:20:12,118
430
00:20:12,143 --> 00:20:17,143
431
00:20:17,472 --> 00:20:20,174
432
00:20:20,573 --> 00:20:24,648
433
00:20:25,815 --> 00:20:28,500
434
00:20:28,525 --> 00:20:30,796
435
00:20:30,821 --> 00:20:33,024
436
00:20:33,049 --> 00:20:34,742
437
00:20:34,767 --> 00:20:37,156
438
00:20:37,181 --> 00:20:39,125
439
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:41,523
440
00:20:41,548 --> 00:20:43,683
441
00:20:43,708 --> 00:20:45,664
442
00:20:45,689 --> 00:20:47,750
443
00:20:47,775 --> 00:20:49,961
444
00:20:49,986 --> 00:20:53,640
Please, make
your way over to the Capitol Building
445
00:20:53,665 --> 00:20:56,468
for the Equal Rights Amendment.
446
00:20:58,361 --> 00:21:00,523
447
00:21:01,492 --> 00:21:03,994
Congresswoman Chisholm,
do you foresee any opposition
448
00:21:04,019 --> 00:21:05,547
against the Equal Rights Amendment
449
00:21:05,572 --> 00:21:06,688
in today's debate in the House?
450
00:21:06,712 --> 00:21:08,617
Yeah, there will be
a handful of congressmen
451
00:21:08,642 --> 00:21:11,242
who will oppose the
ERA based on the belief
452
00:21:11,267 --> 00:21:13,734
that women have their place
and must be kept in it
453
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:16,945
for their own good,
but that belief is dying.
454
00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:19,976
Now the truth is,
women have been protected
455
00:21:20,001 --> 00:21:21,890
from working as waitresses at night
456
00:21:21,915 --> 00:21:23,195
when the tips are large,
457
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:25,765
but they have never been protected
458
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:29,211
when working as charwomen,
scrubbing floors all night.
459
00:21:29,451 --> 00:21:32,851
We don't need anybody to protect us.
460
00:21:32,876 --> 00:21:36,672
461
00:21:36,697 --> 00:21:38,632
462
00:21:38,657 --> 00:21:40,298
Well, it's not that I don't
want to help you get
463
00:21:40,322 --> 00:21:41,593
the raccoon out of your garage.
464
00:21:41,618 --> 00:21:45,093
It's just that Woodside
is not in my district.
465
00:21:47,161 --> 00:21:48,688
I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna have my office
466
00:21:48,712 --> 00:21:50,961
transfer you to your
actual member of Congress.
467
00:21:50,986 --> 00:21:53,320
I don't know if he answers
his own phone. Let's find out.
468
00:21:53,681 --> 00:21:55,711
Sharon, line one is
for Pucinski's office.
469
00:21:55,736 --> 00:21:58,453
- You answer your own phone.
- A few times a week, yes.
470
00:21:58,922 --> 00:22:01,765
Otherwise, I...
I lose sight of the real issues
471
00:22:01,790 --> 00:22:04,843
that affect my constituents
like a backed-up sewer,
472
00:22:04,868 --> 00:22:06,898
a missing "TV Guide," or a raccoon
473
00:22:06,923 --> 00:22:08,601
that has wandered
into some guy's garage.
474
00:22:08,626 --> 00:22:11,281
- Oh.
- You're early.
475
00:22:11,306 --> 00:22:12,977
Were you hoping to catch
some of the ERA debate?
476
00:22:13,001 --> 00:22:15,226
- Oh, no.
- Yeah, I didn't think so.
477
00:22:15,251 --> 00:22:16,484
And why not?
478
00:22:16,509 --> 00:22:17,804
Well, you are wearing a dress.
479
00:22:17,829 --> 00:22:19,230
Oh, libbers don't wear dresses?
480
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:20,648
- Not pink ones.
- Well, actually,
481
00:22:20,673 --> 00:22:23,241
- it's dusty rose.
- Actually, it is distracting.
482
00:22:23,266 --> 00:22:25,495
483
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,797
Now I was hoping to have
that talk about, uh, the, uh,
484
00:22:28,822 --> 00:22:31,734
campaign financing before
the meeting with Goldwater.
485
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:33,429
Right, well, certainly his endorsement
486
00:22:33,454 --> 00:22:34,782
would mean a great deal to donors.
487
00:22:34,806 --> 00:22:35,882
Oh, well, as will yours.
488
00:22:35,907 --> 00:22:38,078
My schedule's a little tight today,
489
00:22:38,103 --> 00:22:39,820
but why don't we have drinks afterwards?
490
00:22:39,845 --> 00:22:42,000
Oh, well, I'm not much
of a drinker, so...
491
00:22:42,025 --> 00:22:44,113
Oh, well, so don't drink.
Watch me drink.
492
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:46,391
Or better yet, let's have dinner.
You ever been to Duke's?
493
00:22:46,415 --> 00:22:49,273
Right, well, I am scheduled
to fly out before dinnertime,
494
00:22:49,298 --> 00:22:51,079
but you, uh, mentioned
you could introduce me
495
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:54,015
to the right people.
Perhaps, uh, Bob Dole?
496
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,320
We would probably
run into him at Duke's.
497
00:22:56,352 --> 00:22:58,988
Come on. You'll love it.
A lot of lobbyists hang out there.
498
00:22:59,152 --> 00:23:01,195
A lot of PAC money to be had.
499
00:23:01,555 --> 00:23:03,357
Can you fly out in the morning?
500
00:23:04,815 --> 00:23:07,461
Well, I guess so. Uh...
501
00:23:13,162 --> 00:23:15,312
502
00:23:15,337 --> 00:23:17,336
Hello. Senator Goldwater's office.
503
00:23:17,361 --> 00:23:24,361
504
00:23:26,197 --> 00:23:27,741
Well, if you're not gonna vote
505
00:23:27,766 --> 00:23:30,968
for the ERA because you think it
will boost your maverick image,
506
00:23:30,993 --> 00:23:32,601
let me tell you, Senator, it won't.
507
00:23:32,626 --> 00:23:34,992
It will boost your image
as a chauvinist pig.
508
00:23:35,017 --> 00:23:37,695
I don't care.
I answer to a higher authority.
509
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,632
Your constituents will
hold you accountable
510
00:23:39,657 --> 00:23:41,015
in the next election.
511
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,507
I meant God, but what
would you know about that?
512
00:23:43,532 --> 00:23:46,101
Or Arizona.
It's all Republican all the time.
513
00:23:46,126 --> 00:23:47,337
That's the beauty of the place.
514
00:23:47,361 --> 00:23:49,423
Don't look at me like that, Bella.
I'm voting for it.
515
00:23:49,447 --> 00:23:50,983
Well, you, I like.
516
00:23:51,008 --> 00:23:52,406
517
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,801
Hi, Barry. You know Phyllis.
518
00:23:54,826 --> 00:23:56,929
Phyllis, nice to see you.
519
00:23:56,954 --> 00:23:58,867
Oh, the pleasure's all mine, Senator.
520
00:23:58,892 --> 00:24:01,061
What do you make of
all this ERA business?
521
00:24:01,086 --> 00:24:02,593
It's not her area of expertise.
522
00:24:02,618 --> 00:24:04,429
- She's a woman.
- Yes, I think I can speak
523
00:24:04,454 --> 00:24:05,461
from my own experience.
524
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:08,189
I've... I've never been
discriminated against,
525
00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:10,149
and I think some women
like to blame sexism
526
00:24:10,174 --> 00:24:11,719
for their failures instead of admitting
527
00:24:11,743 --> 00:24:14,750
they didn't try hard enough,
so good for you for opposing it.
528
00:24:14,775 --> 00:24:17,382
Well, not so good. I'm the only one.
529
00:24:17,407 --> 00:24:18,851
We know you're short on time, Barry,
530
00:24:18,876 --> 00:24:21,414
so, uh, I'll cut to the chase.
We need your help.
531
00:24:21,439 --> 00:24:24,711
You have Nixon's ear.
He must be convinced not to sign
532
00:24:24,736 --> 00:24:26,851
any arms control treaty with Moscow.
533
00:24:26,876 --> 00:24:28,547
Oh, if, uh, if you don't mind,
534
00:24:28,572 --> 00:24:30,797
we'd rather this meeting
stay off the record.
535
00:24:31,655 --> 00:24:33,124
Margaret?
536
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:35,898
537
00:24:35,923 --> 00:24:37,992
This is Neville Chamberlain
all over again.
538
00:24:38,017 --> 00:24:40,414
Well, look, I know you're
not going to want to hear this,
539
00:24:40,439 --> 00:24:42,953
but he's determined to sign a treaty.
540
00:24:42,978 --> 00:24:45,710
Well, I think we should
focus specifically
541
00:24:45,735 --> 00:24:48,328
on our biggest concerns in the treaty,
542
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:50,522
which are the ABM limitations.
543
00:24:50,547 --> 00:24:54,062
Now our superiority in
MIRVs does not compensate
544
00:24:54,087 --> 00:24:57,336
for the Russian superiority
in ICBMs, SS-9s...
545
00:24:57,361 --> 00:24:59,617
Hey, listen, could...
Could you take notes for us,
546
00:24:59,642 --> 00:25:01,744
you know, so that
we have an unofficial record?
547
00:25:02,265 --> 00:25:04,253
Well, you probably have
the best penmanship
548
00:25:04,278 --> 00:25:05,745
of anyone here.
549
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:07,160
Oh, yes, of course.
550
00:25:07,185 --> 00:25:09,687
Margaret can grab you a pad.
551
00:25:10,721 --> 00:25:12,256
Okay.
552
00:25:12,346 --> 00:25:14,215
- I'll be right back.
553
00:25:16,956 --> 00:25:19,836
It's a one-sided pact that
doesn't do anything to stop...
554
00:25:19,861 --> 00:25:22,081
Hello there. You must be Margaret.
555
00:25:22,106 --> 00:25:24,988
- Could I have a... a notepad?
- Of course.
556
00:25:25,013 --> 00:25:28,667
557
00:25:28,692 --> 00:25:32,488
558
00:25:32,513 --> 00:25:35,683
559
00:25:36,886 --> 00:25:39,339
Here you go, Ms. Schlafly.
560
00:25:39,364 --> 00:25:42,214
561
00:25:42,239 --> 00:25:44,374
It's Mrs. Schlafly.
562
00:25:44,835 --> 00:25:48,138
- I'm married.
- I'm so sorry, Mrs. Schlafly.
563
00:25:48,163 --> 00:25:50,900
564
00:25:50,925 --> 00:25:56,519
565
00:25:56,544 --> 00:25:59,011
... advantage in building
up their weapons
566
00:25:59,036 --> 00:26:00,753
while we've been in a weapons freeze?
567
00:26:00,778 --> 00:26:02,808
Well, soon we'll have
girls in the foxholes,
568
00:26:02,833 --> 00:26:04,769
and then we'll really
be at a disadvantage.
569
00:26:04,794 --> 00:26:07,363
570
00:26:07,388 --> 00:26:09,449
Well, I'm sorry.
I held my tongue earlier
571
00:26:09,474 --> 00:26:11,206
when you asked me about this ERA,
572
00:26:11,231 --> 00:26:13,902
but I have to say, if you're in favor
573
00:26:13,927 --> 00:26:16,128
of this fraudulent amendment,
I don't think you have
574
00:26:16,153 --> 00:26:18,322
any business calling
yourself a Republican.
575
00:26:20,698 --> 00:26:23,011
It's an innocuous piece of business.
576
00:26:23,036 --> 00:26:24,105
H-Have you read it?
577
00:26:24,130 --> 00:26:26,232
Oh, yes, I have read it, Congressman.
578
00:26:26,687 --> 00:26:28,042
Have you read it?
579
00:26:28,067 --> 00:26:29,426
What do you mean,
have I read it?
580
00:26:29,450 --> 00:26:30,777
- Have you?
- Yes.
581
00:26:30,802 --> 00:26:32,230
Then what does section two say?
582
00:26:32,255 --> 00:26:33,768
I don't believe there is a section two.
583
00:26:33,792 --> 00:26:35,199
Oh, no, section two
584
00:26:35,224 --> 00:26:37,660
states that "Congress
shall have the power
585
00:26:37,685 --> 00:26:39,691
"to enforce, by appropriate legislation,
586
00:26:39,716 --> 00:26:41,347
the provisions of this article."
587
00:26:41,372 --> 00:26:44,894
Now if the ERA passes,
it will give the federal government
588
00:26:44,919 --> 00:26:46,894
a massive amount of power.
589
00:26:46,919 --> 00:26:49,226
I mean, are we no longer the
party of limited government
590
00:26:49,251 --> 00:26:50,347
and states' rights?
591
00:26:50,372 --> 00:26:51,981
You have no idea the
pressure that we're under.
592
00:26:52,005 --> 00:26:53,707
We have to give the
women's movement something.
593
00:26:53,731 --> 00:26:55,238
Oh, I think you've given them plenty.
594
00:26:55,263 --> 00:26:57,000
You've given them the Pay Equity Act
595
00:26:57,025 --> 00:26:59,089
and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act,
596
00:26:59,114 --> 00:27:01,417
both of which I supported,
not to mention
597
00:27:01,442 --> 00:27:03,652
women are already protected
from discrimination
598
00:27:03,677 --> 00:27:05,839
in the Constitution by the
Equal Protection Clause
599
00:27:05,864 --> 00:27:07,167
under the 14th Amendment.
600
00:27:07,192 --> 00:27:12,050
Now I know of only one law that
is discriminatory toward women,
601
00:27:12,075 --> 00:27:15,378
and that is a North Dakota
law stipulating that a wife
602
00:27:15,403 --> 00:27:17,816
must have her husband's
permission to make wine.
603
00:27:17,841 --> 00:27:20,644
So if a woman in North Dakota
really wants to make wine
604
00:27:20,669 --> 00:27:22,042
and her husband forbids it,
605
00:27:22,067 --> 00:27:24,331
she can sue for that right
under the 14th Amendment.
606
00:27:24,356 --> 00:27:26,980
Okay. Maybe an amendment is unnecessary,
607
00:27:27,005 --> 00:27:28,325
and, yes, maybe we need to do something
608
00:27:28,349 --> 00:27:30,699
about that second clause,
but sometimes we have to vote
609
00:27:30,724 --> 00:27:33,480
for laws that are symbolic
so we can the Dems to join us
610
00:27:33,505 --> 00:27:35,539
in passing more substantive
items on our agenda
611
00:27:35,564 --> 00:27:36,667
like tax reform.
612
00:27:36,692 --> 00:27:38,511
Well, I hope your tax
reform bill is worth
613
00:27:38,536 --> 00:27:40,238
writing off the 40 million homemakers
614
00:27:40,263 --> 00:27:42,699
for whom the ERA is not symbolic.
615
00:27:43,066 --> 00:27:45,058
The women I know are terrified.
616
00:27:45,083 --> 00:27:48,086
They don't want to be
drafted into combat duty,
617
00:27:48,428 --> 00:27:51,131
and you'll have to answer
to them come November.
618
00:27:52,033 --> 00:27:55,261
I'm sorry. If saying all this
costs me your endorsement,
619
00:27:55,286 --> 00:27:56,847
well, so be it.
620
00:27:56,872 --> 00:27:57,872
621
00:27:57,897 --> 00:28:00,128
I thought this wasn't
your area of expertise.
622
00:28:00,153 --> 00:28:01,755
Well, I've been reading up.
623
00:28:02,491 --> 00:28:04,058
Well, there's your stump speech.
624
00:28:04,083 --> 00:28:05,925
Oh, no, no, no, I'm not interested
625
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:07,792
in running on women's issues.
626
00:28:07,817 --> 00:28:10,519
Still, it's, um, a good spin.
627
00:28:10,661 --> 00:28:14,386
Of course, if it were possible
to get 40 million housewives
628
00:28:14,411 --> 00:28:16,230
to stop clucking and get out the vote,
629
00:28:16,255 --> 00:28:18,441
I would have won the presidency in '64,
630
00:28:18,466 --> 00:28:21,230
and Reagan would be
in the White House now.
631
00:28:22,027 --> 00:28:24,933
That's our problem.
632
00:28:25,272 --> 00:28:29,743
633
00:28:30,809 --> 00:28:32,620
I think you'll do very well here.
634
00:28:32,645 --> 00:28:35,503
And what exactly does
"doing very well here" mean, Phil?
635
00:28:35,528 --> 00:28:37,096
Sitting around all day horse trading
636
00:28:37,121 --> 00:28:38,736
about bills you don't
even bother reading?
637
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,965
What, is something wrong?
638
00:28:39,989 --> 00:28:42,098
Oh, no, I'm just going to try
and catch the next flight out.
639
00:28:42,122 --> 00:28:43,434
I thought we were gonna have dinner.
640
00:28:43,458 --> 00:28:45,339
Oh, no, I've got to get home.
641
00:28:55,074 --> 00:28:57,306
642
00:28:57,331 --> 00:29:00,650
Oh, thank you again for
putting the children to bed.
643
00:29:00,675 --> 00:29:02,893
Uh, do you want to take some,
uh, food home for the weekend?
644
00:29:02,917 --> 00:29:06,517
I broiled a chicken last night.
I'll make a salad.
645
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,978
Uh, did Fred ever get a chance
to talk to Raymond Bacha?
646
00:29:11,003 --> 00:29:13,605
Uh... I don't think so.
647
00:29:14,111 --> 00:29:15,779
648
00:29:17,461 --> 00:29:19,964
Fred didn't think it was a good idea.
649
00:29:20,109 --> 00:29:24,346
No, I-I figured when you
didn't mention it again...
650
00:29:24,546 --> 00:29:27,197
so I just... I just thought I'd check.
651
00:29:27,222 --> 00:29:29,025
Oh, Eleanor.
652
00:29:29,050 --> 00:29:31,822
653
00:29:31,847 --> 00:29:35,876
Oh, your life is so full.
654
00:29:36,556 --> 00:29:40,806
Oh, and you have your family
and... and your friends.
655
00:29:40,831 --> 00:29:43,306
- You've got millions of friends.
- Oh, well, yes.
656
00:29:43,331 --> 00:29:45,233
You should see the way they steer
657
00:29:45,258 --> 00:29:47,666
their daughters away
from me when I'm nearby.
658
00:29:47,691 --> 00:29:49,081
It's like they're going to catch it.
659
00:29:49,105 --> 00:29:51,400
- And your work.
660
00:29:51,425 --> 00:29:54,931
You're doing such important
work at the foundation.
661
00:29:55,528 --> 00:29:59,002
Do you know why I threw
myself into the foundation?
662
00:29:59,957 --> 00:30:04,869
You all were busy having babies.
663
00:30:07,657 --> 00:30:10,681
I... I don't know why.
664
00:30:11,689 --> 00:30:15,002
How come no one wanted to marry me?
665
00:30:16,869 --> 00:30:19,541
You just had bad luck.
666
00:30:20,659 --> 00:30:22,470
You know, the war and...
667
00:30:22,495 --> 00:30:25,400
I'm so sorry. You
must think I'm pathetic.
668
00:30:25,425 --> 00:30:27,211
- Now stop it.
669
00:30:27,236 --> 00:30:29,923
You are going through
a hard time, that's all.
670
00:30:29,948 --> 00:30:32,041
- Now it'll pass.
- Yeah.
671
00:30:32,066 --> 00:30:33,434
Now I wanna say this.
672
00:30:33,459 --> 00:30:35,634
You have been more of
a mother to my children
673
00:30:35,659 --> 00:30:36,900
than most mothers.
674
00:30:36,925 --> 00:30:38,556
- They adore you.
675
00:30:38,581 --> 00:30:41,892
Now did I tell you that
both Phyl and Anne asked
676
00:30:41,917 --> 00:30:44,319
if you're coming to the
Mother-Daughter luncheon.
677
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:46,853
- They want you there.
- Aw.
678
00:30:46,878 --> 00:30:49,199
So you're gonna come,
and you're gonna be celebrated,
679
00:30:49,224 --> 00:30:50,692
and that's that.
680
00:30:50,717 --> 00:30:53,189
681
00:30:54,048 --> 00:30:56,619
I should be going.
You must be really exhausted.
682
00:30:56,644 --> 00:30:58,486
Mm.
683
00:31:05,774 --> 00:31:07,957
684
00:31:13,614 --> 00:31:15,051
Oh.
685
00:31:16,957 --> 00:31:19,520
Oh, Anne took forever to go to sleep.
686
00:31:20,784 --> 00:31:23,286
Well, I'm happy you're home.
687
00:31:23,311 --> 00:31:25,997
No, you were right about Washington.
688
00:31:26,284 --> 00:31:27,953
It is godless.
689
00:31:29,028 --> 00:31:30,559
I can change that.
690
00:31:31,748 --> 00:31:34,465
No, but I need you, Fred.
691
00:31:34,490 --> 00:31:37,020
- I'm right here.
692
00:31:37,045 --> 00:31:40,090
No, I've...
I've had a really long day.
693
00:31:40,115 --> 00:31:41,997
Oh, wait, wait, where are you going?
694
00:31:42,022 --> 00:31:44,129
Just to take out my contacts.
They're killing me.
695
00:31:44,154 --> 00:31:47,191
- Oh, come on, come on. Don't.
696
00:31:47,803 --> 00:31:51,411
No, I smell.
I've been in this dress all day.
697
00:31:51,436 --> 00:31:53,520
Well, then let's get you out of it.
698
00:31:55,922 --> 00:31:58,637
699
00:31:58,662 --> 00:32:01,489
700
00:32:01,514 --> 00:32:03,540
701
00:32:08,581 --> 00:32:10,551
702
00:32:41,898 --> 00:32:43,968
703
00:32:52,648 --> 00:32:54,286
If visiting Moscow and Beijing
704
00:32:54,311 --> 00:32:55,833
isn't enough to pull your support
705
00:32:55,858 --> 00:32:58,521
of Nixon's re-election,
then I don't know what is.
706
00:32:58,546 --> 00:33:00,279
- Who wants tea?
- Sure.
707
00:33:00,304 --> 00:33:02,349
- Clem?
- I'll stick with this.
708
00:33:02,374 --> 00:33:03,826
- Jessie?
- Thank you.
709
00:33:03,851 --> 00:33:07,451
I'm not ideological like you.
It's like Mark Hanna said,
710
00:33:07,476 --> 00:33:09,771
there are things that are
important in politics.
711
00:33:09,796 --> 00:33:11,521
The first is money, and I can't remember
712
00:33:11,546 --> 00:33:13,314
- what the second one is.
713
00:33:13,339 --> 00:33:15,372
DĂ©tente with China is good for trade,
714
00:33:15,397 --> 00:33:16,583
which is good for business.
715
00:33:16,608 --> 00:33:18,935
Still, everyone has
their line in the sand.
716
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,122
What if Nixon endorses the ERA?
717
00:33:21,147 --> 00:33:23,091
Well, that affects my business.
718
00:33:23,116 --> 00:33:24,661
Clem is apoplectic about it.
719
00:33:24,686 --> 00:33:26,513
A billion here, a billion there.
720
00:33:26,538 --> 00:33:28,099
It starts to run into real money.
721
00:33:28,124 --> 00:33:29,436
Well, if it makes it through the Senate,
722
00:33:29,460 --> 00:33:31,577
the insurance industry will be
the least of the casualties.
723
00:33:31,601 --> 00:33:34,063
The left will demand
taxpayer-funded abortions,
724
00:33:34,088 --> 00:33:36,544
state-run daycare centers,
women in foxholes.
725
00:33:36,569 --> 00:33:38,661
Sounds a lot like the Kremlin's agenda.
726
00:33:38,686 --> 00:33:41,966
The problem is, everyone
from Kennedy to Wallace
727
00:33:41,991 --> 00:33:44,802
seems to be for it,
and there's no organized opposition.
728
00:33:44,827 --> 00:33:47,115
Well, nobody wants to
vote against an amendment
729
00:33:47,140 --> 00:33:49,372
that has the words
"equal rights" in the title.
730
00:33:49,397 --> 00:33:51,411
Which is exactly why
they put it in the title.
731
00:33:51,436 --> 00:33:54,072
Which is exactly why
we keep losing to them.
732
00:33:54,097 --> 00:33:55,513
Ah-ah.
733
00:33:56,044 --> 00:33:58,036
- I can't sleep.
- Oh.
734
00:33:58,061 --> 00:33:59,362
Try counting sheep.
735
00:33:59,721 --> 00:34:00,958
Do you wanna come sit with the grownups
736
00:34:00,982 --> 00:34:02,302
till you get sleepy?
737
00:34:02,327 --> 00:34:03,862
Here, let me help with the tea.
738
00:34:03,887 --> 00:34:06,036
Mm. She wrote most of her books
739
00:34:06,061 --> 00:34:07,965
with this one sitting on
her lap while she typed.
740
00:34:07,989 --> 00:34:09,279
I think she can handle tea.
741
00:34:09,304 --> 00:34:11,287
When you get elected, Phyllis,
you'd better be ready
742
00:34:11,311 --> 00:34:14,529
to deal with the libbers.
They're all over D. C.
743
00:34:16,188 --> 00:34:19,474
I appreciate your support, but, uh,
744
00:34:19,499 --> 00:34:22,036
I've decided not to run this year.
745
00:34:22,474 --> 00:34:23,841
Washington's broken.
746
00:34:23,866 --> 00:34:26,497
I think it's a waste of
time to try and fix it.
747
00:34:26,706 --> 00:34:29,935
I think I can shake
things up more effectively
748
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,763
through my grassroots
organizing right here at home.
749
00:34:34,684 --> 00:34:38,027
Well... I always say that real change
750
00:34:38,052 --> 00:34:39,654
comes from the bottom up.
751
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:42,107
Besides, my mother will
be moving in with us soon.
752
00:34:42,132 --> 00:34:44,310
She's getting older, so it's just...
753
00:34:44,607 --> 00:34:46,372
not a good time.
754
00:34:56,319 --> 00:34:57,934
Mmm.
755
00:34:58,162 --> 00:34:59,981
Oh, it's all over the rest.
756
00:35:00,006 --> 00:35:01,137
757
00:35:01,162 --> 00:35:04,465
Ah-ah! Roger, go make yourself useful.
758
00:35:04,490 --> 00:35:06,459
Those are ready to go out now.
759
00:35:06,484 --> 00:35:11,153
760
00:35:11,178 --> 00:35:13,067
- Now I have, uh, no doubt...
- Shh, shh.
761
00:35:13,092 --> 00:35:17,254
... that in the, uh,
car ride over today,
762
00:35:17,279 --> 00:35:18,981
that you warned your daughters
763
00:35:19,006 --> 00:35:21,668
that I am Chairman of National Defense
764
00:35:21,693 --> 00:35:24,090
for the Daughters of
the American Revolution,
765
00:35:24,115 --> 00:35:26,700
and as such, to, uh, prepare themselves
766
00:35:26,725 --> 00:35:28,840
for a lecture on the, uh, need
767
00:35:28,865 --> 00:35:30,739
for an anti-missile defense system...
768
00:35:30,764 --> 00:35:34,043
or the end of U.S. nuclear superiority.
769
00:35:34,235 --> 00:35:37,871
So it may come as a surprise, uh, you
770
00:35:37,896 --> 00:35:40,989
that, uh, today I am not going to talk
771
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:46,285
about the Soviet military threat
but rather another threat...
772
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:49,637
A threat to the traditional
American family,
773
00:35:49,662 --> 00:35:51,809
a threat that is just as dangerous
774
00:35:51,834 --> 00:35:54,237
and even more insidious...
775
00:35:54,375 --> 00:35:57,707
The threat of the women's
liberation movement.
776
00:35:57,901 --> 00:35:59,668
- But let me be clear.
777
00:35:59,693 --> 00:36:02,551
I am not against, uh, women succeeding.
778
00:36:02,576 --> 00:36:05,387
I am not against women
working outside the home.
779
00:36:05,412 --> 00:36:06,903
That's their choice.
780
00:36:06,928 --> 00:36:10,137
But what I am against is
a small, elitist group
781
00:36:10,162 --> 00:36:12,450
of Northeastern establishment liberals
782
00:36:12,475 --> 00:36:15,035
putting down the homemakers.
783
00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:19,097
- Now the libbers love to say
784
00:36:19,122 --> 00:36:21,356
that they're dedicated to choice,
785
00:36:21,381 --> 00:36:25,317
but if you dare to choose
the path of full-time mother,
786
00:36:25,342 --> 00:36:27,978
well, there must be
something wrong with you.
787
00:36:28,003 --> 00:36:29,809
I mean, if you don't feel enslaved,
788
00:36:29,834 --> 00:36:32,028
well, you're just dumb
and unenlightened.
789
00:36:32,053 --> 00:36:35,121
In fact, you're not even a person.
790
00:36:35,146 --> 00:36:36,887
- 'Cause, you see,
791
00:36:36,912 --> 00:36:40,637
the women's liberation
movement is basically
792
00:36:40,662 --> 00:36:43,356
a very negative attitude toward life.
793
00:36:43,381 --> 00:36:44,917
It... It tells women,
794
00:36:44,942 --> 00:36:47,918
"Sister, the cards
are stacked against you.
795
00:36:47,943 --> 00:36:49,068
"When you wake up in the morning,
796
00:36:49,092 --> 00:36:50,770
"you won't get a job, and if you do,
797
00:36:50,795 --> 00:36:51,942
"it won't be a good one,
798
00:36:51,967 --> 00:36:54,348
"and if you get a good one,
you won't get promoted,
799
00:36:54,373 --> 00:36:55,551
"and if you get married,
800
00:36:55,576 --> 00:36:58,379
"your husband will
treat you like a servant,
801
00:36:58,404 --> 00:37:00,306
"and marriage is just
a lot of dirty diapers
802
00:37:00,331 --> 00:37:01,950
and dirty dishes."
803
00:37:01,975 --> 00:37:03,770
But don't take my word for it.
804
00:37:03,795 --> 00:37:07,442
Read their own literature.
Betty Friedan,
805
00:37:07,467 --> 00:37:10,614
mother of the movement,
wrote in "The Feminine Mystique"
806
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:14,584
that marriage is,
and I quote, "a comfortable
807
00:37:14,609 --> 00:37:16,778
- concentration camp."
808
00:37:16,803 --> 00:37:17,879
But it is not enough
809
00:37:17,904 --> 00:37:19,770
that they're demeaning us in the press.
810
00:37:19,795 --> 00:37:25,364
Oh, no. Now they want to use
our miraculous Constitution
811
00:37:25,389 --> 00:37:28,246
to create a sex-neutral society
812
00:37:28,271 --> 00:37:31,307
through this so-called
Equal Rights Amendment,
813
00:37:31,427 --> 00:37:34,996
which will mean that that
baby girl will be drafted.
814
00:37:35,021 --> 00:37:36,489
And the men will be at home,
815
00:37:36,514 --> 00:37:38,637
- nursing the babies.
816
00:37:38,662 --> 00:37:40,497
I mean, can you imagine if Buck
817
00:37:40,522 --> 00:37:42,332
was left in charge of your children?
818
00:37:42,357 --> 00:37:43,809
- Oh, God, help us.
819
00:37:43,834 --> 00:37:46,661
Yes, that's right. It's ridiculous,
820
00:37:46,686 --> 00:37:49,645
and it's downright un-American,
because women
821
00:37:49,670 --> 00:37:52,105
are the primary caregivers in the home
822
00:37:52,130 --> 00:37:54,817
because we bear the children.
823
00:37:54,842 --> 00:37:57,020
And if the liberationists
have a problem with that,
824
00:37:57,045 --> 00:37:59,047
they're gonna have
to take it up with God.
825
00:37:59,072 --> 00:38:00,529
- 'Cause what is going to happen
826
00:38:00,553 --> 00:38:03,551
if you push women out into the workforce
827
00:38:03,576 --> 00:38:05,606
is that women are
going to find themselves
828
00:38:05,631 --> 00:38:07,832
with two full-time jobs.
829
00:38:07,857 --> 00:38:10,894
And they're going to be
exhausted and unhappy
830
00:38:10,919 --> 00:38:13,348
and feel like they're
not doing either well
831
00:38:13,373 --> 00:38:17,496
until eventually they decide
not to have children at all.
832
00:38:17,521 --> 00:38:20,075
Maybe that's the liberationists' goal.
833
00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:24,067
I mean, after all,
their hero is Gloria Steinem,
834
00:38:24,092 --> 00:38:28,231
a single, childless woman nearing 40,
835
00:38:28,256 --> 00:38:32,168
but she's the sort of, uh,
miserable, pathetic woman
836
00:38:32,193 --> 00:38:33,739
- they aspire to be.
837
00:38:33,764 --> 00:38:36,489
She wants some kind
of constitutional cure
838
00:38:36,514 --> 00:38:38,598
- for her personal problems.
839
00:38:38,623 --> 00:38:42,098
And perhaps that is why the
liberationists are trying
840
00:38:42,123 --> 00:38:46,512
to sow these seeds of discontent
among we happily married women.
841
00:38:46,537 --> 00:38:50,067
They want us to join them
in some new sisterhood
842
00:38:50,092 --> 00:38:52,384
of frustrated togetherness
843
00:38:52,409 --> 00:38:56,356
because none of them can find
a man who wants to marry them.
844
00:38:56,381 --> 00:39:01,090
845
00:39:01,115 --> 00:39:05,770
846
00:39:08,954 --> 00:39:12,625
847
00:39:22,998 --> 00:39:24,832
848
00:39:24,857 --> 00:39:26,153
849
00:39:26,185 --> 00:39:30,055
850
00:40:22,328 --> 00:40:24,431
Next, ABC's Bill Zimmerman
851
00:40:24,456 --> 00:40:26,470
covered the story in Brooklyn, New York.
852
00:40:27,625 --> 00:40:30,447
Mrs. Chisholm,
how are you feeling today?
853
00:40:31,237 --> 00:40:34,173
Oh. I feel wonderful.
854
00:40:34,399 --> 00:40:37,673
It's one of the most marvelous
things to happen in our country
855
00:40:37,698 --> 00:40:39,103
at this moment.
856
00:40:39,128 --> 00:40:42,173
Uh, for the first time in
the history of our nation,
857
00:40:42,198 --> 00:40:43,939
a person of color, a woman at that,
858
00:40:43,964 --> 00:40:46,634
is running for the highest
office in the land,
859
00:40:46,659 --> 00:40:48,408
and it's a wonderful thing to know
860
00:40:48,433 --> 00:40:51,595
that in spite of the many
obstacles on my path,
861
00:40:51,620 --> 00:40:55,858
a large, large cross-section
of America is behind me saying,
862
00:40:55,883 --> 00:40:57,236
why not?
863
00:40:57,307 --> 00:40:58,877
Why not dare to dream
864
00:40:58,902 --> 00:41:00,869
like so many others
have dreamt before me?
865
00:41:00,894 --> 00:41:04,267
So I'm very excited, and I feel fine.
866
00:41:04,292 --> 00:41:07,025
And do you really expect to go
all the way, Mrs. Chisholm?
867
00:41:07,050 --> 00:41:09,673
Yes, I expect to go all the way.
868
00:41:09,698 --> 00:41:11,650
869
00:41:12,231 --> 00:41:14,916
A new hat, or rather
a bonnet, was tossed
870
00:41:14,941 --> 00:41:17,476
into the Democratic
presidential race today...
871
00:41:17,501 --> 00:41:18,963
That of Mrs. Shirley Chisholm,
872
00:41:18,988 --> 00:41:21,377
the first black woman
to serve in Congress.
873
00:41:21,402 --> 00:41:23,447
Mrs. Shirley Chisholm today announced
874
00:41:23,472 --> 00:41:26,127
that she's going to run for
President of the United States.
875
00:41:26,152 --> 00:41:27,939
Would you vote for a
woman for president?
876
00:41:27,964 --> 00:41:30,017
- Yes, I would.
- Why?
877
00:41:30,042 --> 00:41:32,151
Well, I think it's about time
we had a woman for president.
878
00:41:32,175 --> 00:41:34,595
I don't think they're as
level-headed yet as the men are.
879
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:36,674
I think it would be a good
idea to have a woman president.
880
00:41:36,698 --> 00:41:37,698
Why?
881
00:41:37,723 --> 00:41:38,971
Because it's good to have a change.
882
00:41:38,995 --> 00:41:40,650
I think president is a man's job.
883
00:41:40,675 --> 00:41:42,167
Yeah, I think she will
make a good president,
884
00:41:42,191 --> 00:41:45,127
but I doubt if... I doubt that
she would be elected, though.
885
00:41:45,152 --> 00:41:48,470
In the historic decision,
the Senate voted 84 to 8 today
886
00:41:48,495 --> 00:41:50,439
to approve a constitutional amendment
887
00:41:50,464 --> 00:41:52,509
guaranteeing equal rights to women.
888
00:41:52,534 --> 00:41:55,650
The proposal goes to the
states for ratification.
889
00:41:55,675 --> 00:41:58,702
890
00:41:58,727 --> 00:42:00,104
Did you call the Speaker of the House
891
00:42:00,128 --> 00:42:01,627
- a 4-letter word?
- No.
892
00:42:01,652 --> 00:42:03,283
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
893
00:42:03,308 --> 00:42:05,197
"Ass" is a 3-letter word.
894
00:42:05,222 --> 00:42:06,978
Come on! Come on! Come on!
895
00:42:07,003 --> 00:42:09,041
I'm in heels.
896
00:42:09,066 --> 00:42:11,298
897
00:42:11,323 --> 00:42:12,791
898
00:42:13,445 --> 00:42:14,879
899
00:42:14,904 --> 00:42:18,240
900
00:42:19,070 --> 00:42:20,142
When I founded
901
00:42:20,167 --> 00:42:22,322
this national women's
political caucus...
902
00:42:22,347 --> 00:42:25,284
We all founded it, Betty...
You, me, Gloria, Shirley.
903
00:42:25,309 --> 00:42:27,278
Yes, yes, but it was my concept.
904
00:42:27,303 --> 00:42:28,671
Ahem!
905
00:42:28,696 --> 00:42:30,030
Fine.
906
00:42:30,055 --> 00:42:33,258
My point is that I felt
that we needed to take
907
00:42:33,283 --> 00:42:35,322
our movement from
the streets to Congress,
908
00:42:35,347 --> 00:42:37,384
and here we are, just a year later,
909
00:42:37,409 --> 00:42:38,940
- and we are a political force.
- Here you go.
910
00:42:38,964 --> 00:42:43,283
And we have our first serious
female candidate for president.
911
00:42:43,308 --> 00:42:46,330
- Chizzy for President.
- Chizzy for Prezzy!
912
00:42:46,750 --> 00:42:49,853
And yesterday,
the Equal Rights Amendment
913
00:42:49,878 --> 00:42:51,674
- sailed through the Senate.
914
00:42:51,698 --> 00:42:53,623
Hawaii ratified less than 30 minutes
915
00:42:53,648 --> 00:42:54,752
after the Senate vote.
916
00:42:54,777 --> 00:42:57,142
Delaware, New Hampshire will
have it ratified by tomorrow.
917
00:42:57,167 --> 00:42:59,478
We have seven years,
but we'll get it done in one.
918
00:42:59,503 --> 00:43:01,400
No, and even Nixon is on our side.
919
00:43:01,425 --> 00:43:03,260
And thank you for that
last minute endorsement.
920
00:43:03,284 --> 00:43:05,564
- See? He's not all bad.
- He's mostly bad.
921
00:43:05,589 --> 00:43:08,197
If you would like our women's
caucus to be bipartisan,
922
00:43:08,222 --> 00:43:10,877
perhaps the Democrats in
this room could refrain
923
00:43:10,902 --> 00:43:12,830
from trashing the
president at every meeting?
924
00:43:12,855 --> 00:43:14,869
I thought trashing Nixon was bipartisan.
925
00:43:14,894 --> 00:43:17,150
926
00:43:17,175 --> 00:43:19,642
No, but, you know, Jill is right.
927
00:43:19,667 --> 00:43:22,095
Our movement is about fighting
oppression of all women.
928
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,268
You know, there are too few of us,
929
00:43:23,292 --> 00:43:24,744
and we're not each other's enemies.
930
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:26,503
What are you talking about?
There are plenty of us.
931
00:43:26,527 --> 00:43:28,440
Does this mean that you're
now for lesbian rights?
932
00:43:28,464 --> 00:43:31,642
I never said I was
against lesbian rights.
933
00:43:31,667 --> 00:43:33,893
I said that I didn't wanna
declare at the press conference
934
00:43:33,917 --> 00:43:36,728
that we're all lesbians,
'cause we're not all lesbians.
935
00:43:36,753 --> 00:43:38,197
936
00:43:38,222 --> 00:43:39,720
Sorry to interrupt, but you asked me
937
00:43:39,745 --> 00:43:42,290
to track opposition to the ERA.
938
00:43:42,315 --> 00:43:43,716
Oh.
939
00:43:43,741 --> 00:43:45,548
Who the hell is Phyllis "Schafly"?
940
00:43:45,573 --> 00:43:47,502
- It's
Schlafly.
- Oh, she's a right wing
941
00:43:47,527 --> 00:43:48,995
- nut from Illinois.
- Oh, we don't need
942
00:43:49,019 --> 00:43:50,587
to worry about stuff like
this on the fringe.
943
00:43:50,611 --> 00:43:53,447
I've never even heard of
"The Phyllis 'Schafly' Report."
944
00:43:53,472 --> 00:43:54,853
- It's Schlafly.
- What?
945
00:43:54,878 --> 00:43:56,417
- There are two L's.
- Two L's.
946
00:43:56,441 --> 00:43:59,853
Oh, well, what do I care
if it's "Schafly" or Schlafly?
947
00:43:59,878 --> 00:44:02,791
It's not like I'm ever gonna say
that fucking woman's name again.
948
00:44:02,816 --> 00:44:04,213
949
00:44:04,238 --> 00:44:05,775
- To the ERA.
- Yes.
950
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,517
951
00:44:07,542 --> 00:44:11,646
952
00:44:11,671 --> 00:44:13,841
953
00:44:13,866 --> 00:44:17,353
954
00:44:17,966 --> 00:44:22,353
955
00:44:22,378 --> 00:44:25,103
956
00:44:25,128 --> 00:44:27,330
957
00:44:27,355 --> 00:44:32,293
958
00:44:32,318 --> 00:44:33,785
959
00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:37,505
960
00:44:37,530 --> 00:44:41,895
961
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:45,349
962
00:44:45,374 --> 00:44:52,374
963
00:44:53,020 --> 00:44:56,864
964
00:44:56,889 --> 00:45:01,223
965
00:45:01,248 --> 00:45:03,919
966
00:45:03,944 --> 00:45:05,880
967
00:45:05,905 --> 00:45:11,044
968
00:45:11,069 --> 00:45:12,716
969
00:45:12,741 --> 00:45:16,545
970
00:45:16,570 --> 00:45:20,700
971
00:45:20,725 --> 00:45:24,294
