Good morning, folks.

Have you had your breakfast yet?

I just want to open the microphones to you

to say anything you want to to New York City.

Well, uh, how you doing, New York City?

It's a good old city, yes.

- It's a beautiful place. - It's a beauty.

I just got to see the Village for the first time,

and it's really a groove.

There was a nice guy singing that the Pope smokes dope

and all those sort of songs in Washington Square.

It was beautiful, you know what I mean.

I really feel at home there.

Yes?

Caller 1: I'd like to ask John a question.

Sure.

- Caller 1: John? - Yeah?

Caller 1: I can't believe I'm speaking to a myth.

- A myth? - Caller 1: Yeah.

Myth World or Myth Universe?

Caller 1: Can I speak to Yoko, please?

- I'm here. - Caller 1: Yoko?

- Yes. - Caller 1: I thought

I'd tell you that you're very beautiful.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

I'm sure my husband loves that.

- Good morning. - Caller 2: Good morning.

Recently I've been wondering

exactly how The Beatles are as people.

Well, The Beatles don't exist anymore.

I don't want to recreate the past.

You know, I wanna be me now.

Caller 2: Right, well, having you in New York, like,

- for the past week or so... - Yeah.

...and listening to you and Yoko on the radio...

- Yeah. - ...it's really...

it's really hitting home that

you really are people, you know.

I'm sitting here talking

with John and Yoko on their bed.

This bed we inherited from the previous owner

used to be a ch... made out of church pews.

- Oh, I see. - Isn't that fascinating?

So we're in a very holy bed here, Howard,

and the three of us are on the bed.

All dressed, of course.

We're very comfortable here,

especially like having TV, you know,

- 24 hours a day or something. - Suits me fine.

Suits me fine.

What are your favorite programs?

I just like TV, you know.

To me it replaced the fireplace when I was a child.

And if you want to know what 20 million Americans

are talking about on Saturday night,

it's what they saw on Friday night on TV.

It's a window on the world.

Whatever it is, that's that image of ourselves

that we're portraying.

Ain't nothing dead about us. We ain't gonna die.

- 'Nough said. - We are not dying here.

A very famous choral group will now entertain us.

And if the music is square, it's because I like it square.

President Nixon,

stop bombing human beings, animals and vegetation.

You go to church on Sundays and pray to Jesus Christ.

If Jesus Christ were here tonight,

you would not dare drop another bomb.

Bless the Berrigans and bless Daniel Ellsberg.

♪ Ma! He's making eyes at me ♪

♪ Ma! He's awfully nice to me ♪

See... see, um,

Nixon will find anything he needs to enhance his power.

The fact is, is there's got to be polarization in the country.

There's gotta be po... Wait, listen. I get two sentences out,

and you act like you're going to the toilet,

you know. It's "Uh, uh, uh, uh."

Listen, why don't you shut up and let me talk.

You invited me down here, you said,

"You've gotta come here. We have no music, we have no guests.

If you don't come, we have no guests."

Now you ask me a question, you keep quiet.

Maybe the punchline will contain your answer, you know?

- So don't be so constipated. - Phil Donahue: I'm just...

Don't be so constipated. "I'm just, I'm just."

Just relax.

- I'm disappointed. You're so... - I'm disappointed in you.

You're so incapable of functioning...

I'm totally incapable. I'm a misfit.

Haven't you realized? I'm a misfit.

I don't fit into this plastic TV show

with this plastic TV personality.

I don't fit into that.

Colored and permanent press.

I'm sorry.

Well, I've been using this Clorox 2 All Fabric Bleach.

Maybe it'll work...

Here I am at Dylan's garbage.

It's quite a while after the garbage article came out,

so I really don't expect to find anything.

Hmm.

"Progresso Italian peeled tomatoes."

Ah, not bad. Not bad.

"Thomas's English muffins."

That's a big plug for Thomas's English muffins.

Let's see what else is there.

Clorox!

Dylan uses Clorox.

Oh, The Daily News.

The Daily News.

That makes a lot of sense.

Judging from Dylan's politics lately,

he's been reading the Daily News.

Let's see what else is there.

Uh, a syringe.

A needle.

- 8071. - Is Howard there, please?

This is his service.

Oh, look, could you tell him John Lennon called?

L-E-N-N-O-N.

Uh-huh.

- L-E-N-N-O-N. - O-N.

Are you a member of The Beatles?

- That's right, yeah. - Oh, you are?

- Yeah. - Oh. Okay, then.

He has my number. Thank you. Bye-bye.

News Reporter: The attack is still going on here

at Attica State Prison.

We've all been gassed.

I've been gassed.

It's an awful scene.

William Kunstler has said

that people are dying in there, and...

I agree with that. I think people are dying in there.

And the scene is...

I'm gonna cut this off.

The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.

The queen...

I mean, the British press actually called

Yoko ugly in the papers,

and I've never seen that about any woman or man.

Even if a person is ugly,

you don't normally sort of say it in the paper,

you know, "That ugly woman." And she's not ugly.

And if she was, you wouldn't be so mean.

They even say 'attractive' about the most awful-looking people

just to be kind.

This is a CBS News Special Report.

The President in China.

Here's a man that I know very little about,

other than what I have read in newspapers and magazines,

and what I have heard on television.

And, quite honestly, my feelings are quite negative.

But John wanted this young man on the show.

- Co-host: Who is it? - It's Jerry Rubin.

Jerry Rubin, yeah.

What is the new Jerry Rubin thinking about these days?

I'm glad you asked that.

Uh, we're gonna support Nixon for president

because by going to China, he's furthering

Communist revolutions throughout the world.

I'm just kidding. I'm really just kidding.

I'm really just kidding.

What he's really done is automate the war in Vietnam

so that it's machines killing people.

Created a situation where 43 people

can be murdered at Attica. Um, created a situation

where four kids can be killed at Kent State

and people are afraid, scared.

You really believe he created that situation?

The atmosphere in the country is one of just death.

The repression is so heavy

that anybody who does anything gets arrested, jailed, killed.

That people are, like, very pessimistic.

Wherever you go right now, there's tremendous pessimism.

You mean youth in general, whether they're radical

or anything. Just youth in general. We noticed that.

But how do we change that, you know?

- Because... - I'm really not

the political type, but I want to say something.

My parents came over here and got married in this country.

They came to escape oppression in Eastern Europe.

I did manage, with scholarships,

to go to college and medical school.

And I became a professor, and I became Surgeon General,

and I can't think of any other country

where this could happen.

And I've done a lot of travelling.

Wait a minute!

But that doesn't make us the Indians.

It's the Indians who were here first and who got wiped out.

News Reporter: ...a spontaneous and unrehearsed news interview

with George Wallace,

former governor of Alabama,

questioned by CBS news correspondent Martin Agronsky.

Governor, you've repeatedly

objected to being called a racist.

Yes, sir.

You don't regard yourself as a racist?

No, sir, I don't regard myself as a racist,

and I think the biggest racists in the world

are those who call other folks racist.

A new hat, or rather a bonnet,

that of Mrs. Shirley Chisholm,

the first Black woman to serve in Congress.

The hold-up man remained inside the bank.

Then, bizarrely, the gunman, John Wojtowicz,

asked that his homosexual lover be brought to him.

The lover arrived from a local psychiatric hospital,

Reporter 1: One of the most fascinating and exotic stories

ever to come out of Washington, D.C.

is the talk of the capital today.

Five men were arrested early Saturday

while trying to install eavesdropping equipment

at the Democratic National Committee.

And it turns out that one of them has an office

in the headquarters of the Committee

for the Re-election of the President.

Lesley Stahl: The central mystery still remains.

What were those men after at the Watergate?

Who sent them? How were they paid?

What's making the Republicans nervous

is it's beginning to look as though

some members of the president's re-election committee

may know the answers.

Well, yeah, we're a bit shocked, you know.

Do you think that you will be deported?

I've no idea. Maybe it's just a process. I don't know.

Reporter 2: You want to stay here?

- We'd love to stay here. - Reporter 2: Why?

Well, we love it. And also our child is here,

and we're still trying to find her.

And we were given temporary custody in Texas.

On the grounds that...

On the grounds that the child would stay in America.

And we also wish to stay in America.

And we'd like to stay preferably in New York.

Does that mean you're seeking permanent citizenship?

- Yes, we are. - Reporter 3: Thank you, John.

It's a pleasure. Good night and thank you.

I mean good day.

Okay, thank you.

You missed the bit where the hard hat gave me the V sign.

Reporter 1: One of the film world's great figures,

Charlie Chaplin, arrived in New York today

for his first visit to the United States

in nearly 20 years.

Although most Americans remember

Chaplin's comic genius,

relatively few recall the controversy

that has kept him away from this country

for close to two decades.

Reporter 2: His sympathy for the Soviet Union

and his jokes about this country

were too much for some bureaucrats.

The Justice Department revoked his visa,

and he couldn't come back.

People forgot that Chaplin poked fun

at all kinds of stupidity.

And his words still have meaning today.

Soldiers, don't fight for slavery. Fight for liberty.

In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke it is written,

"The kingdom of God is within man,

not one man nor a group of men,

but in all men."

And you, you the people have the power,

the power to create machines, the power to create happiness.

You the people have the power

to make this life free and beautiful.

Why do feel that Uncle Sam is trying to force you

to leave this country, which you now say you love?

There's a whisper campaign going around against us.

"Don't you know they're financing a revolution?"

"Don't you know they're going down

to disrupt the Republican convention?"

- Are you financing anything? - Not at all.

I've never financed anything

that has anything to do with violence.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's a sad day in our country

when you go to Washington and they say,

"Don't walk a hundred feet away from your hotel.

Don't get in an elevator unless you have someone with you."

It's not even safe in the shadow of the White House,

or in Baltimore,

or any other large city in the United States.

This morning at a Wheaton, Maryland,

shopping center, the hecklers were out in force.

They were quite young and for the most part not mean,

although three oranges, some pennies

and some paper airplanes

were hurled at the governor as he spoke.

Now, Governor Wallace has just been shot.

- What is your reaction? - To that?

I could care less.

Disturbed.

I consider it most unfortunate.

Watching his rhetoric,

it's so heated and divisive, I think that it was...

I feared several months ago that something would happen to him.

- Morning. - Good morning.

- How are you? - Fine.

Reporter 1: Miss Chisholm, how did the governor look?

Of course, he seems a little weak,

but I think his spirits are high, his morale is high.

And it was a very, very pleasant visit.

Reporter 2: How soon do you think there might be

a reconciliation between Black Americans

and George Wallace?

Well, I...

Well, I don't know.

I don't know, I think, you know, we just have to realize

that this country's going through a very turbulent period.

The sooner all of us try to get together and recognize

that there is enough room in America

for every person regardless of race, creed, or color,

the better it's going to be for all of us.

If not, this constant malaise that hangs over this country

is going to eventually destroy all of us.

Okay, so we'd like to invite everyone

to come on down to Miami, August 20th,

to confront Nixswine

and the rest of the mass murderers, Adolph Nixswine.

How many people would you expect would join

your counter-convention in Miami Beach?

Uh, crowds should reach Woodstock's proportions.

Half a million, I would say. Half a million easily.

You can see and buy Tupperware

at a Tupperware party.

I think it's shocking if you're being deported,

and it's ironic that it would happen in the same year

that Chaplin was given an award after 20 years of...

20 years after

- a similar kind of nonsense. - Mm-hm.

They think we're going to Miami, whatever it is.

We've never said we're going. We ain't going.

We're not going.

There'll be no big jam with us and Dylan

because there's too much going on.

We never said we were going, and that's it.

President Nixon comes to Miami Beach tonight

to accept his re-nomination.

Right at the moment, however, there is a story outside,

and that's the story of the demonstrators.

This is a group session

in primal therapy.

The idea is to go back, uncover the hurts of childhood,

relive them, and free the real you.

The dream that so many people have

that, somehow, something out there is going to transform us

and make life beautiful, whether it's fame or riches or whatever.

And you find out...

People find out that there's nothing in life

but you, you see?

That's all there is, you see?

And when you can feel, that's all there is.

To feel life, to feel the life you're living.

We might one day duplicate man,

his form, his actions carefully engineered.

Your father left you and your mother

at a very tender age, and you were raised by an aunt.

I was raised by my auntie.

My father and my mother split when I was about four.

I had... I spent some time with Mother up to about four,

then my father split.

He was a merchant seaman, you know, you can imagine,

and it was 1940s in the war and all that.

And he left, and I was brought up by an auntie.

And then when I was 16,

I re-established a relationship with my mother.

She taught me music.

She first of all taught me the banjo,

and from that I progressed to guitar.

The first song I learned was "Ain't That A Shame,"

an old rock hit, Fats Domino.

And then, unfortunately,

she was run over by an off-duty policeman who was drunk.

But it was very hard for me at that time,

and I really had a chip on my shoulder.

And it still comes out now and then, you know,

because it's a strange life to lead.

The doctor invited me to see the conditions he was talking about.

So, unannounced and unexpected by the school administration,

we toured Building Number Six.

There was one attendant for perhaps 50 severely

and profoundly retarded children.

Lying on the floor naked and smeared with their own faeces

they were making a pitiful sound,

a kind of mournful wail

that it's impossible for me to forget.

Reporter 1: There are 5,300 patients

at Willowbrook,

which is the largest institution

for the mentally retarded in the world,

sitting on the ward all day, not going to school,

sharing the same toilet, contracting the same diseases.

One hundred percent of patients

at Willowbrook contract hepatitis.

There are so few attendants

that there is only three minutes

per child for feeding.

Reporter 2: How much time would be needed

to do a job adequately?

Reporter 1: The same amount of time

that your children or my children

would want to have to eat breakfast.

Reporter 2: What's the consequence

of three minutes per meal per child?

Reporter 1: The consequence is death from pneumonia.

Their life is just hours and hours

of endless nothing to do, no one to talk to.

Just an endless life of misery and filth.

Why would you do a concert for free?

Because it's important,

and these children are like

almost symbolic of all the pain on earth.

And if we can help them in any way,

well, it's a start, you know?

Where do you start?

David Peel,

the chorus at the beginning

joins in with that tape of power,

if the tape works.

So they should be there from the start, you know?

And then just wait in line.

That's all.

And the other side, the same.

All Willowbrook supervisors,

please move your group over to the line,

in front of the area

where the first will pull into the tie.

In a straight line...

I often say God's blessed them,

and that He can use everything...

Minority Report Number 8 is not adopted.

Walter Cronkite: That was the report

to end discrimination against homosexuals.

It was turned down. Bob, are you still there?

Walter, we are still here,

and perhaps you didn't see us at first

because Mr. Ginsberg has moved into a meditating position

as we were awaiting the vote.

Mr. Ginsberg, the resolution was just turned down.

How do you feel about that?

Maybe in four years,

the American public will likely be ready to say "Ah"

and sigh a sigh of relief

and allow a similar platform in the next presidentiad.

"Ah", accepting the defeat of the homosexual minority blank.

"Ah", for McGovern's peacefulness.

"Ah", let Nixon retire from office quietly.

"Ah", let the war in Vietnam be over.

"Ah", let America relax.

Okay, Walter, I don't know what I could add to that.

Do you have a question or something?

Say "ah."

Walter Cronkite: Yes, I was gonna say Bob Schieffer,

for your work down there on the floor, "Ah".

Okay.

Walter Cronkite said, "Ah."

- "Ah". - Allen Ginsberg: "Ah".

That's so sharp you can hardly focus.

I'm just trusting it's all right.

Well, this is the fourth and final day

of Jockanese's trip round Maine, USA,

and may we say it's been wonderful, extremely wonderful.

Well, here we are in wonderful Cambridge.

This is the actual Harvard...

What am I doing? Harvard building.

It's the Harvard Divinity School.

Yes, and as you can see, it's divine.

And over there is Yoko trying to find out...

Talking to some of the women.

...where the women's meeting is.

Here we are, folks.

What happened to me was that I was living as an artist

and had relative freedom as a woman,

and was considered a bitch in this society.

Since I met John, I was upgraded into a witch,

and I was...

And I think that that's very flattering.

Society suddenly treated me

as a woman who belonged to a man

who is one of the most powerful people in our generation.

And some of his closest friends

told me that probably I should stay in the background,

I should shut up, I should give up my work,

and that way I'll be happy.

Because the whole society started to attack me,

the whole society wished me dead,

I started to stutter.

I consider myself a very eloquent woman,

and also an attractive woman.

And, suddenly, because I was associated to John,

I was considered an ugly woman,

ugly Jap who took your monument away from you.

That's when I realized how hard it is for women.

If I can start to stutter, being a strong woman,

it is a very hard road.

And President Nixon is well on the way

towards the predicted landslide re-election.

At the present trend, it would be a record landslide

for the Republication president.

Well, in Washington,

President Nixon's number one domestic affairs advisor

is John Ehrlichman,

and David Schoumacher is with him now.

Howard, he feels too good.

I'm gonna ask him whatever happened to Watergate?

I don't know. I don't know.

Apparently nothing.

Four more years! Four more years!

Four more years! Four more years!

Four more years!

Based on the results I have seen today,

we have accomplished what was thought to be the impossible.

We've not only won a majority of the votes of America,

but we've won a majority of the votes of young Americans.

Well, you can do a few long shots as well, can't you?

Because we can always cut out the...

How would you like historically to be remembered?

John and I lived, loved, and died.

John?

Uh, just as two lovers, you know?

And we'd like to be sprinkled all over the Atlantic...

...and the Pacific or something.

Bits of dust in New York,

London, Paris, Tokyo.

- That would be nice. - A friend of mine

once said that... We checked it out

and we found out that it was illegal.

To drop bits of your body and cremate it?

Yes, you can't cremate a body.

Well, that's the final...

final up sign

to the establishment...

...is to sprinkle ourselves

over the White House and everywhere,

on Buckingham Palace and the emperor's temple.
