There's another

00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,400
Heat. Heat.

>> 50 writers pulled by Newsweek. Not one

8
00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:51,759
of them thinks the president will win.

9
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:54,799
50 for Dwey, zero for Truman. Dwey will

10
00:01:54,799 --> 00:01:58,320
win by a landslide. Listen, Harry Truman

11
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,880
is a wild accident of history, entering

12
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,560
the White House only by the death of the

13
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,000
immortal Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

14
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,160
>> Morning, Mr. President. Have a nice

15
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,479
walk.

16
00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,400
>> Good morning, Clark.

17
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,280
>> Morning, Charlie.

18
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,080
>> Morning, sir.

19
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,920
>> Well, another busy day, Ed.

20
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:17,840
>> Yes. What's it say, Clark?

21
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,599
>> What does what say?

22
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:21,360
>> That Newsweek magazine you just hid

23
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,480
under your jacket.

24
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,440
>> Well, um,

25
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,800
>> come on. Give it here.

26
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,840
>> Yes, sir.

27
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,920
>> When the press quits abusing me, I know

28
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,080
I'm in the wrong queue.

29
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,440
>> Sorry, sir.

30
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,319
>> Well, don't you be sorry. You leave that

31
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:39,200
to these so-called experts. I know all

32
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,200
50 of these fellas. Not one of them's

33
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,720
got sense enough to pound sand down a

34
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,280
rat hole.

35
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,640
>> What about the speech for today, Mr.

36
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,336
President?

[applause]

40
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,440
>> Thank you. Thank you all for coming. I

41
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,599
came to you because our country is in

42
00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,959
dire trouble. I'm here on a serious

43
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:16,159
mission and because it is so serious, I

44
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,159
propose to speak to you as plainly as I

45
00:03:18,159 --> 00:03:20,640
can. Instead of a recession after the

46
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:26,080
war, we have more jobs than ever before.

47
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,519
No riots, no bloodshed, NO WORKERS

48
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:32,959
CRYING FOR JOBS, NO FARMERS STARVING, no

49
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:35,200
veterans starving IN THE STREETS. WHY?

50
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200
BECAUSE we took care of them. BUT THE

51
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,959
POLLS IN THE NEWSPAPER say you want to

52
00:03:38,959 --> 00:03:40,879
change all that. Well, I tell you, I

53
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:42,720
JUST WONDER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAVE to

54
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,879
be hit ON THE HEAD BEFORE YOU FIGURE OUT

55
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,120
WHO'S HITTING YOU. IT is your future

56
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,680
we're fighting for. I must have your

57
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,680
vote.

58
00:03:56,799 --> 00:03:58,640
>> Dear Bess,

59
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,360
the general trend seems to be I'm a very

60
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,519
small man in a very large place.

61
00:04:05,519 --> 00:04:07,840
All the smart boys seem anxious to get

62
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,519
rid of me, including my own party.

63
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,400
Sometimes I ask myself,

64
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,799
why would any man in his right mind want

65
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:20,799
to be president of the United States?

66
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:22,560
I know you never wanted to be the wife

67
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,800
of a politician,

68
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,040
but here you are, hitched onto a wild

69
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,199
ride through history,

70
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,000
and sometimes I wonder, will you ever

71
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
forgive me?

72
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Mrs. Wallace. Thought I'd take best for

73
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,199
a drive. Is she here?

74
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,080
>> I'm back here in the kitchen.

75
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,479
If you're coming in, wipe your feet.

76
00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:11,800
>> Yes, ma'am.

77
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,320
>> Where do you get the money

78
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
to buy an automobile?

79
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,840
You must have cost a fortune.

80
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,080
>> Couple of thousand. We're in the war,

81
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,120
Harry. A lot of money out there for the

82
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,080
smart boys.

83
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,280
>> Well, hello, Harry.

84
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:31,520
What are you doing off the farm? Can't

85
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,440
be Sunday.

86
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,919
Don't hear any bells. Ridiculous.

87
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:38,160
driving a car when they're missing

88
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,520
payments at the bank.

89
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,840
>> Look at you. You got some new scheme on

90
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:44,639
your mind. What is it this time?

91
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:46,880
>> Well, I just had the idea in my mind

92
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,600
that we could take a little drive out in

93
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240
the country.

94
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,320
>> Don't try to lie, Harry. You don't have

95
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,880
the face for it.

96
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,199
>> It's hard for me to talk here.

97
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,400
>> She can't hear us.

98
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:14,479
I'm signing up

99
00:06:14,479 --> 00:06:15,199
>> for what?

100
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:16,960
>> The army.

101
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,360
We're in the war. Didn't you read the

102
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,360
president's speech?

103
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,039
It is a fearful thing to lead this great

104
00:06:25,039 --> 00:06:27,600
peaceful people into the most terrible

105
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,600
and disastrous of all wars.

106
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,759
>> You're 33, Harry. They don't even draft

107
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:34,960
men that age. Besides, you're blind as a

108
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,039
bat.

109
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:38,880
>> That man has courage. They're going to

110
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,880
need every man they can get.

111
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,160
>> You've never been in a fight in your

112
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,160
life. You don't even like guns.

113
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,880
>> Well, no matter how old,

114
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,400
blind, or untried I might be, I can't

115
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,080
stay home and be a slacker.

116
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,280
>> What about your sister and your mother?

117
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,880
Have you asked them? Have you told them?

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,400
>> They'll get along without me. And

119
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,319
besides, the war can't last that much

120
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:02,000
longer now that America is in the fight.

121
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,520
>> You're serious.

122
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,560
Yes, I am.

123
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,240
>> You are more stubborn than a Missouri

124
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,759
mule and you got just about as much

125
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:11,680
sense.

126
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,039
>> Reckon we ought to get married, don't

127
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:16,039
you?

128
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:18,560
>> What?

129
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,440
>> But don't try to talk. I know you're too

130
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:22,800
amazed.

131
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,479
>> Jesus Christ, I'm General Jackson.

132
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,680
All these years I have waited to hear

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,000
those words.

134
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,840
You think buying an engagement ring on

135
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,240
borrowed money might be bad luck?

136
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,720
>> I don't need an engagement ring. We're

137
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,479
going to get married. Let's do it now.

138
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:53,319
>> We can't miss.

139
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:55,919
>> I won't let mother stand in our way

140
00:07:55,919 --> 00:07:58,879
anymore. No, no, no. I I don't mean

141
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,879
that.

142
00:08:03,599 --> 00:08:07,199
You mustn't tie yourself to a man who

143
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,000
might not come back.

144
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:12,400
>> Don't say that.

145
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,639
>> I don't know. I I can't do that to you.

146
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:22,240
>> You're going to be all right, Harry.

147
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,479
And I'm going to be right here when you

148
00:08:24,479 --> 00:08:27,360
get home.

149
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,039
Hire some good hands, Mary Jane. Make

150
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:34,560
them give you a day's work and no backs

151
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:35,120
assass.

152
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,279
>> We'll be all right. You'll be a good

153
00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:40,680
boy, Harry.

154
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,120
>> Bye, mama.

155
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:54,320
D called Dizzy D. Irish Catholic from

156
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,839
Kansas City. You're the fourth commander

157
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:58,000
we've had this year. The last one lasted

158
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,240
90 days.

159
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,839
>> Irish Catholic, Captain.

160
00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:02,880
>> Nope.

161
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,440
>> Makes two of us.

162
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:16,000
>> Lieutenant calling man to attention.

163
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,721
>> I NEED

164
00:09:18,721 --> 00:09:20,741
[laughter]

165
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,279
DAYS.

166
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:27,236
90 days.

167
00:09:27,236 --> 00:09:29,256
[laughter]

168
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:43,680
>> Put out that damn cigarette. O'Hare. You

169
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,880
know better than that. Get back to work.

170
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,279
>> Yes, sir.

171
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Soldiers, you can sleep tomorrow. Let's

172
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,959
get these guns online.

173
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,360
>> STAY [screaming] DOWN.

174
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,800
>> HOLD YOUR POSITION.

175
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,200
>> Stay down.

176
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,360
Get down.

177
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,920
Move it.

178
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,600
>> HOLD YOUR POSITION.

179
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,079
>> COME ON. Come on.

180
00:10:22,959 --> 00:10:26,200
Get back

181
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
down.

182
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Stay up.

183
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,597
Down.

184
00:10:40,597 --> 00:10:42,617
[laughter]

185
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:46,360
Come on. Already.

186
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,000

Dear Bess, battery D had their first

taste of battle. Nobody was killed or

192
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,640
hurt, so the men say I'm lucky, and

193
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,079
nothing can touch me. I was scared green

194
00:11:32,079 --> 00:11:33,920
like everybody else, but I'm not letting

195
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560

00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,600
ought to let those boys in the 28 get

208

>> Most people don't ask that question.

278

280
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,519

286
00:16:22,959 --> 00:16:25,759

>> No, not right now, mother. But what does

307
00:17:10,959 --> 00:17:13,120
that mean? Not right now.

308

I don't know. Eddie shot.

Can I ask you something?

5 years we spent more time together than

Best doesn't like Bloom.

349
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,320
Is it because we're Jewish?

No.

351
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,120

00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,799
How come everybody likes you so damn

371
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:44,320
much?

372
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,480
>> 3,465

373
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,240
simoleons perom.

374
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,559
>> How can he be a judge? He has no

375
00:20:50,559 --> 00:20:52,640
education in law.

376
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,240
>> Not a law judge, mother. More a county

377
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,320
commissioner. You'd be one of three,

378
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,159
right, Harry?

379
00:21:00,159 --> 00:21:02,080
>> If I got elected,

380
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,320
>> one of boss times boys. Now

381
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,520
>> Pendergast is a common thief.

382
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,320
Well,

383
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,080
I don't intend to be a thief. I made it

384
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,400
clear that if I ran,

385
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,559
>> you know, my opinion,

386
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:20,880
politics cheapens a matter.

387
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,200
>> Mother, please don't.

388
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,400
>> Mr. Wallace had no trouble in his life

389
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,520
till he ran for public office.

390
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Well, a man has to keep his head,

391
00:21:34,159 --> 00:21:36,559
not breathe the hot air, and avoid the

392
00:21:36,559 --> 00:21:39,559
graft.

393
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,159
You think you're special enough to

394
00:21:42,159 --> 00:21:45,200
survive influences that have weakened

395
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,360
and destroyed others with far more

396
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:51,080
qualities than you?

397
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:01,400
>> What did I say? Excuse me.

398
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,559
>> Miss,

399
00:22:14,559 --> 00:22:16,640
I'm sorry.

400
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,240
I didn't mean to set her off.

401
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,960
I just got to make a decision. with the

402
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,280
star going under

403
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,440
and the baby coming.

404
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,559
>> They found it in the bathtub.

405
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:33,600
>> Yes.

406
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,080
>> The bullet when my father killed

407
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,559
himself.

408
00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:41,520
It went through his head. They found it

409
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,840
in the bathtub.

410
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,559
>> Don't miss. Don't.

411
00:22:48,559 --> 00:22:51,520
Bess. Listen to me.

412
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,880
I've got to pay off the star debts.

413
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,640
I've got mother and Mary Jane to take

414
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,919
care of as well as us here.

415
00:22:59,919 --> 00:23:02,960
I think I can do this. I think I'm

416
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,919
strong enough to handle it.

417
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,400
>> I know you are.

418
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,280
>> I don't want you to have to worry.

419
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,120
And if you really don't want me to run,

420
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:21,919
I won't.

421
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:24,799
I KNEW THIS YOUNG MAN BEFORE HE WAS

422
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:29,440
BORN. FARMER, BUSINESSMAN, VETERAN, AND

423
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840
THE NEXT EASTERN JUDGE OF JACKSON

424
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,781
COUNTY, CAPTAIN HARRY S. TRUMAN.

425
00:23:36,781 --> 00:23:38,746
[cheering]

426
00:23:38,746 --> 00:23:40,766
[applause]

427
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:48,360
>> Thank you.

428
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,039
Thank you. Uh

429
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,039
like to thank all the boys from Battery

430
00:23:53,039 --> 00:23:55,776
D for coming out today.

431
00:23:55,776 --> 00:23:57,796
[cheering]

432
00:23:58,396 --> 00:24:00,159
[applause]

433
00:24:00,159 --> 00:24:02,960
>> Beautiful day. Uh

434
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000
I'm now going to tell you what I stand

435
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,919
for

436
00:24:07,919 --> 00:24:11,679
and why you should vote for me.

437
00:24:11,679 --> 00:24:13,600
>> Ain't much of a speaker, is it?

438
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:14,559
>> Men are for him.

439
00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,919
>> He only needs one man for him.

440
00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:23,919
Firstly, I am for good roads.

441
00:24:23,919 --> 00:24:26,559
>> And the best part of it is no farmer

442
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:28,320
will be more than two miles from a good

443
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,600
road. Here's time. Let's tell him about.

444
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,840
Now, uh, believe me, I know firsthand

445
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,679
what being near a good road means to a

446
00:24:35,679 --> 00:24:37,279
man who's trying to get his crop to

447
00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:38,880
market.

448
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,159
Did a little work on the map here to

449
00:24:40,159 --> 00:24:41,360
give you an idea of what I'm talking

450
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:43,520
about. I'm going to need the support of

451
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,080
both of you.

452
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,679
>> I think Judge Vroomman and I have the

453
00:24:45,679 --> 00:24:48,799
same question.

454
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:50,880
Well, the answer is it'll cost $6.5

455
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,120
million. We'll take it to the people and

456
00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:54,320
raise it with a bond issue. Well,

457
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,600
>> I don't think that's a question that

458
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,880
Judge Bar and I had in mind.

459
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,039
>> $6.5 million. They'll just say, "I want

460
00:25:01,039 --> 00:25:01,840
to steal it."

461
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,520
>> Nobody's going to steal anything.

462
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,919
Contracts go only to legitimate low

463
00:25:05,919 --> 00:25:09,440
bidders who can do the job.

464
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,880
Now, all three of us have to approve it

465
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,400
to get the bond issue on the ballot.

466
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,000
>> Can I count on your support?

467
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,559
Judge Bar, Judge Broomman, ride back to

468
00:25:22,559 --> 00:25:24,240
town with me. Frank, you see if Judge

469
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,600
Crim will give you a lift. All right.

470
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,600
What's the matter, Judge?

471
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,440
Didn't you get what you wanted?

472
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,880
Too easy.

473
00:25:49,120 --> 00:25:52,400
You're one of Tom's boys.

474
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,080
>> You tell me what happened here.

475
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,760
>> Nothing. Roads are good. They're made of

476
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,120
concrete. Good choice. Tom's got a

477
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:04,520
concrete company.

478
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,000
If

479
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,840
>> only I were John D. Rockefeller, I'd

480
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,960
make this county the world's paradise.

481
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,400
Maybe I can buy her own crib.

482
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,120
>> Margaret's not complaining.

483
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520
>> Harry,

484
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,279
>> if you think bar and Brooklyn are

485
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,679
investing fun, why don't you go do that?

486
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:39,440
>> Well, I saw one. They said just what I

487
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,480
thought they'd say. there. Pass the

488
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,919
buck. They said, "Go see Tom."

489
00:26:41,919 --> 00:26:43,679
>> You know what the cardinal says?

490
00:26:43,679 --> 00:26:45,200
Disloyalty.

491
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,440
Politics is the business of friends.

492
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,960
>> Well, does that mean I'm supposed to let

493
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,039
your friend steal $10,000?

494
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,200
>> 10,000? Is that what this yelling is

495
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:53,600
about?

496
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,840
>> I don't care if it's$10,000 or 10

497
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,679
million. Tom, I told you when I agreed

498
00:26:57,679 --> 00:26:59,360
to run, I wasn't going to stand for any

499
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:00,320
monkey business.

500
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,159
>> You will stand for what I tell you.

501
00:27:02,159 --> 00:27:04,000
>> No, sir. I don't work for you. I work

502
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,200
for the people of this county.

503
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,640
>> You keep believing that, you'll be back

504
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:07,840
selling church going broke.

505
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,440
>> Don't you threaten me. I'll go to the

506
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,440
damn poor house if I have to.

507
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,120
>> You see what a stubborn son of a [ __ ]

508
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:15,279
you brought into this organization. He

509
00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:17,600
don't even like money.

510
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,360
So, what are you going to do?

511
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:23,919
>> Well, it's the taxpayers's money. They

512
00:27:23,919 --> 00:27:25,200
might like to read about who's getting

513
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,000
it.

514
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,799
>> You do that, the bond issue won't pass.

515
00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:31,760
Your roads won't get built.

516
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,440
>> I'll take that chance.

517
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,960
>> No chance to it. It'll happen. Now, are

518
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,880
you going to be righteous and save the

519
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,760
county $10,000? Are you going to give it

520
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,480
$6.5 million worth of good roads, not

521
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,000
one of them more than 2 miles away from

522
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,240
a farm?

523
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,640
>> That's the choice you're giving me.

524
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,840
>> That's the choice you gave yourself.

525
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,880
>> Yes, sir. How old is that horse?

526
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,480
>> This horse is a six-year-old.

527
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,679
>> Oh, beauty. Is a beauty.

528
00:28:14,799 --> 00:28:17,840
Harry, what's the matter?

529
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,760
>> Sons of [ __ ] brooming and bar are

530
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,279
thieves.

531
00:28:21,279 --> 00:28:22,640
They're stealing money from the road

532
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,480
fund.

533
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:25,840
Bar is worse than that. He's an

534
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,559
adulterer. Man who can't be loyal to his

535
00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:30,080
wife and family. Can't be trusted

536
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,080
anywhere.

537
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,440
>> Get Tom fire.

538
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,880
>> Oh, I told him what they're doing. He

539
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,880
knows. He doesn't care.

540
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,120
>> Listen to yourself, Harry. Getting

541
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,360
yourself all tied up in knots.

542
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,760
>> Hell, am I any better than them? Put my

543
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,360
own drunken brother-in-law on the public

544
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,799
payroll just to keep peace in the

545
00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,480
family.

546
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,880
>> I didn't ask you to do that. You made

547
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,480
the choice to go into politics and I

548
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,080
said I'd support you. But if this is

549
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,520
what it's going to do to you, I won't

550
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,840
support you.

551
00:29:00,799 --> 00:29:06,039
>> I dove into a cesspool. quit.

552
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,159
>> Can't farm. Failed at business. Can't

553
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:12,480
dance. Don't sing.

554
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,399
I have to let Noah account sons of

555
00:29:14,399 --> 00:29:16,640
[ __ ] steal so that I can do something

556
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,840
that needs doing.

557
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,600
Does that make me just another crook

558
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,480
or just another politician?

559
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,360
And historic bond issue passes and an

560
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,760
ambitious new road program is born.

561
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,159
Judge HS Truman, whose baby this is,

562
00:29:36,159 --> 00:29:38,399
seems like a proud papa as construction

563
00:29:38,399 --> 00:29:40,880
begins.

564
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,559
Local contractor, my friends are very

565
00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:43,039
angry.

566
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:45,200
>> I'm told that even Pender Gas Concrete,

567
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:46,399
had to submit a bid.

568
00:29:46,399 --> 00:29:49,440
>> A you heard yet? As you heard, he's the

569
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,000
stubbornest contrary Missouri mule

570
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,039
decided to Mississippi. Hey, you heard

571
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,760
about my boy Truman.

572
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,520
>> You'll love her paw.

573
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,600
>> You'll even love

574
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,000
>> your mother-in-law

575
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,080
>> if you use

576
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,799
>> per shave.

577
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,000
Mama said they're not going to let you

578
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,679
be judge anymore.

579
00:30:25,679 --> 00:30:27,760
>> Well, two terms is all they let you

580
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,120
have. I'm going to have to get another

581
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,399
job.

582
00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:32,480
>> Didn't you plant trees along here?

583
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,480
>> The farmers cut them down for firewood.

584
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:34,799
>> No.

585
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:36,399
>> What kind of job?

586
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:39,360
>> Well, I don't know, Miss Skinny.

587
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,960
Tom, I've been thinking about something

588
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,279
and I want to talk to you about it. I

589
00:30:43,279 --> 00:30:45,840
gave you this county sewers, a decent

590
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,399
cart house, and $6.5 million in new

591
00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:51,120
roads. Not all pent of gas concrete, but

592
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,520
a hell of a lot of it when your people

593
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,880
made a fair bit. Now I am damn good at

594
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,960
what I do and you know it or you would

595
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,919
have got rid of me years ago.

596
00:31:01,919 --> 00:31:03,600
Tom,

597
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,640
there is so much more to be done.

598
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,960
What I did for the county, I want a

599
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,520
chance to do for the state

600
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,840
as governor.

601
00:31:22,399 --> 00:31:25,840
Harry, what happened with Tom?

602
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,600
>> Tom doesn't think I'm heavy enough for

603
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,360
the job.

604
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,720
I don't belong in the major leagues.

605
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,000
>> After all you've done for this county,

606
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,320
after all his talk about loyalty,

607
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,039
>> Tom's loyal to his pocketbook. Never

608
00:31:43,039 --> 00:31:46,159
damn raceh harson in Missouri.

609
00:31:46,159 --> 00:31:48,960
>> Can you run without him?

610
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,320
>> 50 years old. No money. I'll go out of

611
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,760
office parer than when I went in.

612
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,760
Don't even have my own house. There's no

613
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,640
way I can run without him.

614
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,559
>> Well,

615
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:06,320
I'm glad you'll be your own man. We

616
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,840
won't have to worry anymore about what

617
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,679
the boss thinks or wants or has in store

618
00:32:09,679 --> 00:32:12,840
for you.

619
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:16,080
I don't care if you have to dig ditches.

620
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,399
Good girl.

621
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,600
Hey, Harry,

622
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,559
cut that damn motor off.

623
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,640
Listen,

624
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,760
Harry. I uh I think I might have come up

625
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,120
with something for you.

626
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,919
>> Well, that's damn decent of you, Tom.

627
00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:48,080
>> What is it, dog catcher?

628
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:52,240
>> How'd you like to run for the US Senate?

629
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,080
I got these three other fellas I asked.

630
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,360
They couldn't do it for one reason or

631
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,200
another.

632
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Got one more fell I can go to.

633
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:05,880
I need an answer, Harry.

634
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:13,039
Well, Jesus Christ and General Jackson.

635
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:15,519
The answer is yes.

636
00:33:15,519 --> 00:33:18,840
Let's go.

637
00:33:28,399 --> 00:33:32,360
Good race, M Truman.

638
00:33:43,679 --> 00:33:45,120
Where are you going? This is for

639
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,399
senators only.

640
00:33:46,399 --> 00:33:49,120
>> Well, I am a senator from Missouri.

641
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,080
>> Let him in, Jimmy. He's the real thing.

642
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,960
Sam Rayurn.

643
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,720
>> Vice President Garner here.

644
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,880
>> Well, of course, Harry Truman.

645
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,360
>> You look a little lost. Well, I guess I

646
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:02,240
am.

647
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,919
>> First 6 months, you wonder how you got

648
00:34:03,919 --> 00:34:05,600
here. And after that, you wonder how the

649
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,840
hell the rest of these guys got here.

650
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,720
>> You and your wife find a place to live.

651
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:13,839
>> Best went home to take care of family.

652
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:15,520
>> Truth is, she didn't like it much in

653
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:16,560
Washington.

654
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,639
>> Well, she'll get used to it. They mostly

655
00:34:18,639 --> 00:34:20,480
do.

656
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,440
>> Well, afternoon, gentlemen.

657
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,480
Well, Jimmy, there goes the honorable

658
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,119
senator from Pandagast.

659
00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:39,520
>> President Roosevelt, please.

660
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,800
This is Senator Truman.

661
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:47,079
Truman. Senator from Missouri.

662
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:50,800
What is it regarding?

663
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,119
Tell the president that I'm not going to

664
00:34:53,119 --> 00:34:56,720
be pushed around like an office boy. I

665
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,720
expect the consideration and courtesy

666
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:01,839
the office of a senator is entitled to.

667
00:35:01,839 --> 00:35:04,160
Tell him if he wants to discuss my vote

668
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,240
to call me not Tom Pendergast.

669
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:10,720
Dear Bess, I've moved from the apartment

670
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:13,200
you hated into a men's hotel that's a

671
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,839
whole lot cheaper. So tell Miss Skinny I

672
00:35:15,839 --> 00:35:18,320
can raise her allowance back up to 50.

673
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,920
The nation's business doesn't seem to

674
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,359
need much from the senator from

675
00:35:21,359 --> 00:35:23,520
Pendergast, but there are a few good

676
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,280
friends of the working man at a regular

677
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,720
poker game in Speaker Raburn's office.

678
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:30,400
They help me get through the nights and

679
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,359
days when you are not here. The war in

680
00:35:33,359 --> 00:35:36,240
Europe is on all our minds. I'm afraid

681
00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,480
we're going to be in it. The only

682
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,760
question is how soon.

683
00:35:43,359 --> 00:35:45,599
Yesterday,

684
00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:48,000
December 7th,

685
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
1941,

686
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,000
a date which will live

687
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,599
in impammy. The United States of America

688
00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:00,400
was suddenly and deliberately attacked

689
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,000
by naval and air forces of the Empire of

690
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Japan.

691
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,359
Such times demand giants, and America

692
00:36:11,359 --> 00:36:13,839
has them in abundance.

693
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:16,079
General Dwight D. Eisenhower, chosen to

694
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:18,480
lead our boys in Europe.

695
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,640
General Douglas MacArthur, hero of the

696
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,760
Pacific. And the General of Generals,

697
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,920
George Catllet Marshall, Army Chief of

698
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,880
Staff and Architect of Victory. With

699
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,680
titans such as these, how can we fail to

700
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,680
win?

701
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:39,599
>> I put over 30,000 miles on the family

702
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:43,680
Chrysler visiting factories, army bases,

703
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,359
anywhere we're supposed to be making

704
00:36:45,359 --> 00:36:48,960
arms and ammunition for the war. What I

705
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,200
saw

706
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,720
scared the dickens out of me.

707
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:57,680
>> I saw waste. One of you boys check me to

708
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,160
the uh construction headquarters.

709
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,520
>> You're at it.

710
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,320
>> The little man being left entirely.

711
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,240
>> Well, when do you boys start working?

712
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,359
>> Hell, we've been here for 4 months now.

713
00:37:09,359 --> 00:37:12,880
>> I am asking the Senate to investigate

714
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,000
the national defense program and the way

715
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,040
the government does business.

716
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,079
Will you agree, sir, that a cost overrun

717
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:26,000
of uh a thousand% is excessive?

718
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,079
>> Senator, there's a war on.

719
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:31,119
>> We thought speed and volume were more

720
00:37:31,119 --> 00:37:32,800
important to the war effort than

721
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:33,920
pinching pennies.

722
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,160
>> Well, that must be why you quadrupled

723
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,440
your own salary. [laughter]

724
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,440
>> Now, your company knowingly sold

725
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,480
defective.

726
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,800
>> Excuse me, Senator. I never said.

727
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:46,400
>> Well, we will find out who knew what

728
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:47,920
knowingly before this committee is

729
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,960
finished. Now, Mr. Perry,

730
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,760
do you inspect your aircraft engines

731
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,000
before you ship them out?

732
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,520
>> Yes, sir. We try.

733
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,280
>> And who reads those uh inspection

734
00:37:59,280 --> 00:37:59,839
reports?

735
00:37:59,839 --> 00:38:01,520
>> They are reviewed by our executive

736
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,079
committee.

737
00:38:04,079 --> 00:38:07,359
>> So, either your inspectors lied to you

738
00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:09,200
or

739
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,320
you are lying to us here today. Is that

740
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,040
correct, sir?

741
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:18,400
Why would your inspectors lie to you,

742
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,280
>> Senator? This this word lying.

743
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,280
>> Do you know a better one? Well, I'll use

744
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,880
the word fib if you like. It doesn't

745
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,200
mean a damn to me. What does matter is

746
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,760
that your engines failed.

747
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,839
>> The airplanes they powered crashed and

748
00:38:31,839 --> 00:38:36,400
the young men that flew them died.

749
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,720
Senator, we are conducting an internal

750
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:41,280
audit to find out the problem and be

751
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,200
certain it never happens again.

752
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,920
>> You know, Jesse James

753
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,160
had to get up early in the morning and

754
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,280
risk his life to rob the Rock Island

755
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,040
Railroad of $3,000.

756
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,359
Now, you can see what a per he was next

757
00:38:57,359 --> 00:39:00,000
to some fine gentleman with their three

758
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,400
secretaries and endless lawyers stealing

759
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160
millions. Now, I don't know anything

760
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,800
about your line of work, sir,

761
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:08,400
but I do know when there's a bunch of

762
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,920
crookedness

763
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,400
that's going on here that is plain

764
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,359
enough for me to see. Sir,

765
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:23,880
>> we'll take a shark recess at this time.

766
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,880
>> Good job. [clears throat] Got what you

767
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,520
want.

768
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,599
>> There it is. Everything you need. Just

769
00:39:35,599 --> 00:39:40,160
>> sali suprema s translate inside.

770
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,599
>> The people's good is the highest law.

771
00:39:43,599 --> 00:39:46,800
Cicero's rations. Miss Ardelia Harden's

772
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,560
high school Latin. Will you excuse me,

773
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,000
gentlemen? My old friend Charlie Ross.

774
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,839
>> Well, I heard you were here from the uh

775
00:39:53,839 --> 00:39:55,599
post dispatch. We'll have our school

776
00:39:55,599 --> 00:39:57,839
reunion in due time. Senator,

777
00:39:57,839 --> 00:39:58,880
>> right now, I thought you ought to see

778
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,480
this.

779
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,880
Do you know anything about a project

780
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,880
called Manhattan?

781
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,760
>> No, I don't. All I know is every time

782
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,040
I've asked a question about it, I got a

783
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,240
blank wall. What's more, people seem

784
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:13,760
scared.

785
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,640
I've been threatened. It's all in here.

786
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,160
I want an exclusive story if it's real.

787
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,000
>> Okay, Charlie, I'll take a look. Now

788
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,079
you're off duty.

789
00:40:26,079 --> 00:40:27,839
Bess is up from Independence. She'll

790
00:40:27,839 --> 00:40:29,359
have a fit when she finds out you're

791
00:40:29,359 --> 00:40:30,800
here and you haven't called.

792
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,880
>> Maybe she'll still have you for dinner.

793
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,240
I'd like that. Senator.

794
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,000
>> Okay, Charlie. I got to get back to

795
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000
work.

796
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:47,880
>> Sir, Secretary Stimson will see you now.

797
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:57,200
>> Afternoon, Mr. Secretary.

798
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,960
I've asked General Marshall to join us,

799
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,839
Senator.

800
00:40:59,839 --> 00:41:00,640
>> Senator,

801
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,720
>> General, I've never forgiven you for

802
00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,440
turning me down.

803
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,119
>> Senator wanted to reinlist after Pearl

804
00:41:07,119 --> 00:41:07,680
Harbor.

805
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,760
>> General uh pointed out that I was a

806
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,280
little long in the tooth for

807
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:12,640
>> I asked you to join us, General

808
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,560
Marshall, because the senator has some

809
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,839
report about Manhattan.

810
00:41:17,839 --> 00:41:20,160
>> How did you get this information?

811
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,560
>> Well, that's privileged.

812
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,839
>> That is not

813
00:41:25,839 --> 00:41:28,800
Sir, that envelope will be staying here

814
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,640
with me in the office of the Secretary

815
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,720
of War.

816
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:35,920
The word Manhattan is not to be spoken

817
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,480
anywhere.

818
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,839
This is a war secret. So important we

819
00:41:41,839 --> 00:41:43,920
can't even investigate you to find out

820
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,319
how you learned of it. Now, if you

821
00:41:46,319 --> 00:41:48,000
believe what you say in your Senate

822
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,599
speeches

823
00:41:49,599 --> 00:41:53,040
and your service in the war,

824
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,800
you'll forget you ever heard the word

825
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,440
Manhattan.

826
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,400
Investigator Truman, it is remarkable,

827
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,119
says here, the transformation of Harry

828
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:06,960
Truman from Pendergast Aaron boy, watch

829
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,680
that [music] stuff, to able, energetic

830
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,440
committee chairman. Truman is

831
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,520
scrupulously honest. His only vices

832
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,200
being poker and the occasional glass of

833
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,000
bourbon.

834
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,160
>> What do they mean occasional?

835
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,800
>> Now you all just hush. I'm seriously

836
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,049
worried about that man's hat size.

837
00:42:24,049 --> 00:42:25,280
[laughter]

838
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,839
>> How do you like Washington, Mr. Truman?

839
00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:29,440
>> You mean except for the climate and the

840
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,440
people? Well, Mr. Hanigan, I think like

841
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,280
Harry. If you want a friend in

842
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:40,119
Washington, get a dog.

843
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,720
So, Harry, what about Manhattan? There a

844
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,640
story in it?

845
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,960
>> It's just an island in in New York,

846
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,280
Charlie. No story at all. Ready?

847
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,480
>> You sang real pretty tonight.

848
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:05,760
>> Thank you.

849
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,800
>> Not Miss Guinea.

850
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,000
>> Not Dad.

851
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,400
Why was Bob Hanigan here?

852
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,480
>> He's Democratic Party chairman.

853
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,079
>> I know that. What does he want?

854
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:22,480
>> They're looking for someone to uh run

855
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,560
for vice president with Roosevelt. They

856
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,480
want a vote getter on the ticket.

857
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,280
>> Why? They can't possibly think Roosevelt

858
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,839
could lose an election.

859
00:43:31,839 --> 00:43:33,680
>> Well, he's already been president 12

860
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,359
years. There's a lot that believe that's

861
00:43:35,359 --> 00:43:38,160
too long. Vice President Wallace scares

862
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,680
the hell out of people that think he's a

863
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,599
communist.

864
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:44,319
>> Have they asked you?

865
00:43:44,319 --> 00:43:47,920
>> Other possibilities are too liberal,

866
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,839
too conservative, too Catholic, too old,

867
00:43:51,839 --> 00:43:52,560
too racist.

868
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,200
>> That's not what I asked you.

869
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,440
>> And I told him, I'm happy where we are.

870
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,480
I have no desire to be vice president. I

871
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,920
mean it, and that's all there is to it.

872
00:44:07,540 --> 00:44:09,560
>> [music]

873
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:16,960
>> Hey [music]

874
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,960
hey

875
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:26,640
>> Senator, did you accept a vice

876
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:27,839
presidential nomination?

877
00:44:27,839 --> 00:44:30,240
>> No, I do not want to be vice president.

878
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:32,000
I'm perfectly happy in the Senate.

879
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,760
>> Mrs. Truman, wouldn't you like to see

880
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,359
the senator help out the ticket?

881
00:44:35,359 --> 00:44:36,640
>> He said no, and I believe it.

882
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,280
>> He said, too.

883
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:38,880
>> Look out, boys. He's the boss. What

884
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,480
about the draft, sir? Would you support

885
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:41,280
the draft?

886
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:41,520
>> Harry,

887
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,040
>> there's a d Senator Harry, I've been

888
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,720
waiting for you. Bob's got to talk to

889
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:45,200
you.

890
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,520
>> I have already told Bob Hanigan all I've

891
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,280
got to say, which is no and to stop

892
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:49,599
asking.

893
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:52,560
>> Please, Harry. He's on my back.

894
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:56,839
>> He's waiting for you at the hotel.

895
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,720
>> All right, Frank. You take Beth and

896
00:44:58,720 --> 00:45:00,240
Margie inside. I'll meet you in there

897
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,920
later. All right. And Jimmy here to take

898
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,480
you out.

899
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,359
>> Sir, WHERE ARE YOU GOING NOW?

900
00:45:05,359 --> 00:45:08,359
>> SIR,

901
00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:10,880
>> help yourself to a Drake. Carrie,

902
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,720
>> I don't want a drink. Bob, what's this

903
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,319
all about? Tell him he's here.

904
00:45:16,319 --> 00:45:20,000
>> Bob, how was Chicago, Bob?

905
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,240
>> Well, it's very hot here, Mr. President.

906
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,400
>> Are all the fellows there?

907
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,319
>> Yes, Mr. President. We're all here and

908
00:45:26,319 --> 00:45:27,839
we're all unanimous.

909
00:45:27,839 --> 00:45:30,319
>> Marvelous. And that fellow Truman has

910
00:45:30,319 --> 00:45:32,880
agreed to be on the ticket.

911
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,880
>> Uh, no, sir. He's being stubborn as a

912
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,960
Missouri mule. Would you like to talk to

913
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,720
him, sir?

914
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:40,880
>> I most certainly would not. You tell him

915
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,880
for me that if he wants to break up the

916
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:44,720
Democratic party in the middle of a

917
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,920
world war, if he is so selfish as to put

918
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,800
his own concerns ahead of his country,

919
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:55,079
that it is all on his head.

920
00:46:07,359 --> 00:46:09,680
Who talked to you

921
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,200
just

922
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,200
happened?

923
00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:35,079
here.

924
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:46,079
>> I had no choice.

925
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:46,240
I

926
00:46:46,240 --> 00:46:50,599

>> Broadway goes wild. A roaring sea of

929
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:58,160
frenzied humanity greets the news.

930
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,160
>> Commentator HV Kelenborn makes the

931
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,440
dramatic announcement.

932
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,280
>> The results are now conclusive.

933
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,520
Roosevelt wins.

934
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,440
>> The Roosevelt smiles of victory are

935
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,599
clouded as fierce German counterattacks

936
00:47:09,599 --> 00:47:12,319
stall American troops and the war grinds

937
00:47:12,319 --> 00:47:15,800
on in Europe.

938
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:16,480

divisions to me.

953
00:47:46,240 --> 00:47:49,680
>> Well, thank you, General.

954
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Harry, take off your jacket. It's

955
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,319
stifling today.

956
00:47:58,319 --> 00:48:01,800
Yes, it is.

957
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:06,880
Thank you.

958
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,240
Well, there are many things that I want

959
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:12,079
to uh discuss.

960
00:48:12,079 --> 00:48:16,760
>> Your wife, is she enjoying Washington?

961
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:20,480
talked about nothing.

962
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:22,480
His hands

963
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,800
couldn't stop shaking. Couldn't even bar

964
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,240
his coffee.

965
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,960
>> Anyone can see he's dying.

966
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,319
>> Don't say that.

967
00:48:30,319 --> 00:48:34,800
>> No, no one will say it.

968
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,200
>> Dad, mother,

969
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,760
Charlie's here.

970
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,640
>> Tom Pendergast has passed away.

971
00:48:46,079 --> 00:48:48,480
If you like, I'll quietly slip your

972
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,440
respects to the family.

973
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,359
When and where is the funeral, Harry?

974
00:48:53,359 --> 00:48:55,040
The vice president of the United States

975
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,119
does not pay respects to a convicted

976
00:48:57,119 --> 00:48:58,880
criminal.

977
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,559
>> You don't know him, do you?

978
00:49:00,559 --> 00:49:02,800
>> The press will crucify you. Damn it.

979
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:03,920
You're not some county judge anymore.

980
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,359
You're vice president.

981
00:49:05,359 --> 00:49:07,520
>> Well, I wouldn't be vice president if it

982
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:10,480
wasn't for Tom.

983
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:12,240
In gratitude, Charlie, it's a cardinal

984
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:15,200
sin.

985
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:19,680
An era passes as Tom Pendagast, ruler of

986
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,440
Missouri [music] politics until federal

987
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,839
charges of corruption sent him to jail,

988
00:49:23,839 --> 00:49:25,599
is laid to rest in private [music]

989
00:49:25,599 --> 00:49:28,000
graveside ceremonies attended only by

990
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,079
family and Vice President Harry Truman.

991
00:49:33,359 --> 00:49:36,240
>> Don't know,

the board of education in session.

993
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,119
>> Take a few, brother Truman. Been to any

994
00:49:41,119 --> 00:49:43,680
funerals lately, Harry?

995
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,680
Well, the VP's only got two duties,

996
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,079
Senator. Getting you no accounts prayed

997
00:49:48,079 --> 00:49:49,920
over every morning in the Senate, and

998
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,559
God knows you need it. And going to

999
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:55,119
funerals just the same. It was a damn

1000
00:49:55,119 --> 00:49:57,680
fool thing to do.

1001
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,280
>> When Tom got out of prison, he was

1002
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,119
broke.

1003
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:03,760
Even his wife wouldn't speak to him. He

1004
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,359
never asked me for anything. He could

1005
00:50:05,359 --> 00:50:06,960
have, but he didn't. So, I paid him my

1006
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,760
respects as my friend. I'll drink to

1007
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,319
him. You don't have to. The game is five

1008
00:50:12,319 --> 00:50:15,640
card st.

1009
00:50:15,839 --> 00:50:17,920
>> Mr. Vice President, we're all looking

1010
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,559
for you, sir.

1011
00:50:20,559 --> 00:50:23,800
>> Call 4545.

1012
00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:28,359
>> That's the White House.

1013
00:51:06,720 --> 00:51:09,440
What's up?

1014
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:13,400
Harry,

1015
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:18,200
>> the president is dead.

1016
00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:21,559
>> Mrs. Roosevelt,

1017
00:51:21,599 --> 00:51:25,440
is there anything I can do for you?

1018
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,559
>> Is there anything we can do for you? You

1019
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:32,680
are the one in trouble now.

1020
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,920
Do we have a Bible? Uh, there's one here

1021
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:40,400
someplace.

1022
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:42,720
>> Oh, find it. Damn it. Oh, this

1023
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,079
administered. This country is without a

1024
00:51:44,079 --> 00:51:44,480
president.

1025
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,720
>> Yes, sir.

1026
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,000
I found one.

1027
00:52:09,599 --> 00:52:11,359
All [clears throat] right.

1028
00:52:11,359 --> 00:52:14,680
Excuse me.

1029
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,599
Raise your right hand and repeat after

1030
00:52:31,599 --> 00:52:33,280

>> So help me God.

1048
00:53:39,359 --> 00:53:42,800
I don't know if any of you

1049
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:47,960
ever had a load of hay fall on you, but

1050
00:53:49,359 --> 00:53:51,599
right now I

1051
00:53:51,599 --> 00:53:53,839
feel like the moon, the stars, and all

1052
00:53:53,839 --> 00:53:58,040
the planets have fallen on me.

1053
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,440
Don't expect too much of me.

With great humility,

00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,920
I call upon all Americans to help me

keep our nation united in defense of

1059
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,760
those ideals. so eloquently proclaimed

1060

by Franklin Roosevelt.

1061
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,520
I want in turn to assure my fellow

1062
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,800
Americans and all those who love peace

1063
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,240
and liberty throughout the world that I

1064
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:11,520

[applause]

1068
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,119
At this moment, I have in my heart a

prayer.

1070
00:55:31,119 --> 00:55:34,000
As I have assumed my duties, I humbly

1071
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,440
pray, Almighty God, in the words of King

00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,520

I ask only to be a good and faithful

and of my people.

1079
00:56:16,559 --> 00:56:21,160
Mrs. Roosevelt says it's haunted.

1080
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,559

talking about the new occupant.

1092
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:38,359
I can't hear myself, Bess.

1093
00:57:39,119 --> 00:57:41,280
>> You will,

1094
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,000
but it's going to take a lot of barn to

1095
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,920
make this place liveable. Well, let

1096
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,680
that trick in the floor. That's just the

1097
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,599
flower bars need to be nailed down tight

1098
00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:55,559
to the joist. That's all.

1099
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:57,760
>> What this place needs is a good

00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,760
carpenter.

1101
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,520
>> After all this time,

1102
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,000
our first Harry,

1103
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,760
our own house.

1104
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,359
>> Charlie, Bess thinks you'd make a hell

1105
00:58:09,359 --> 00:58:10,480
of a press secretary.

1106
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:11,680
>> Oh, Jesus. No, Harry.

1107
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,119
>> Well, you can't say no to Bess. I'm

1108
00:58:13,119 --> 00:58:14,480
appointing prank your secretary.

1109
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:15,599
Secretary of what?

1110
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:17,680
>> Just secretary. Franklin staff all look

1111
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,079
at me like a skunk at a wedding. I need

1112
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:24,359
some Missouri around me real quick.

1113
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,520
Mr. President, I hope you understand why

1114
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,200
it was necessary for me to

1115
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,440
>> You did your duty as you understood it

1116
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,880
to be. You had no reason to trust me.

1117
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,599
Now, we don't have to like each other to

1118
00:59:35,599 --> 00:59:37,359
work together. I'd prefer it if we did,

1119
00:59:37,359 --> 00:59:40,559
but uh what will be necessary is that we

1120
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:43,040
trust each other.

1121
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,000
Now, I saw how you guarded the nation's

1122
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:50,000
interest and uh I trust that.

1123
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,319
>> Yes, I agree with that.

1124
00:59:52,319 --> 00:59:54,000
>> So, let's stop all the [ __ ] and get

1125
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,799
down to business.

1126
00:59:56,799 --> 00:59:59,799
>> Dismissed.

1127
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:05,359
Within 4 months, the Manhattan project

1128
01:00:05,359 --> 01:00:07,119
will have completed the most terrible

1129
01:00:07,119 --> 01:00:11,880
weapon in human history.

1130
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,680
Now, uh, how does it work? What's it

1131
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:22,559
made of?

1132
01:00:22,559 --> 01:00:25,440
>> It's an atomic bomb. It's made from

1133
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,960
uranium.

1134
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:28,799
By bringing together a few pounds of

1135
01:00:28,799 --> 01:00:31,040
refined uranium in the right conditions,

1136
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,280
it spontaneously

1137
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,480
transforms itself into pure energy. It's

1138
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:40,720
the same process that powers the sun.

1139
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:44,400
It could vaporize an entire city

1140
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:46,160
instantly.

1141
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,920
>> Do the Germans know about this?

1142
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,839
>> We believe they tried to make one and

1143
01:00:49,839 --> 01:00:53,119
failed. The Russians have no idea this

1144
01:00:53,119 --> 01:00:56,000
exists. Well, for God's sakes, let's

1145
01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:58,640
keep him in the dark.

1146
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,440
>> Mrs. Truman, what qualities do you think

1147
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,599
would be the greatest asset to the wife

1148
01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:04,319
of the president?

1149
01:01:04,319 --> 01:01:08,042
>> Good health and sense of humor.

1150
01:01:08,042 --> 01:01:09,119
[laughter]

1151
01:01:09,119 --> 01:01:10,960
>> Do you think there'll ever be a woman

1152
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,520
president of the United States?

1153
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:14,720
>> No.

1154
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,280
>> Would you want to be president?

1155
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:17,839
>> No.

1156
01:01:17,839 --> 01:01:19,359
>> Would you ever want Margaret to be first

1157
01:01:19,359 --> 01:01:20,240
lady?

1158
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,799
>> No. If you had a son, would you try to

1159
01:01:22,799 --> 01:01:24,240
raise him to be president?

1160
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:25,200
>> No.

1161
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,119
>> Mrs. Roosevelt like to meet with us once

1162
01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:29,119
a week. How often will you be holding

1163
01:01:29,119 --> 01:01:31,200
your press conferences, Mrs. Truman?

1164
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,440
>> This will be my last one.

1165
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,839
>> Well, how will we ever get to know you?

1166
01:01:35,839 --> 01:01:39,720
>> You don't need to know me.

1167
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:45,079
>> Anybody know what day this is?

1168
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,319
>> Well, I knew there was some plot going

1169
01:01:48,319 --> 01:01:51,359
on. Well, I better start blowing before

1170
01:01:51,359 --> 01:01:53,237
this old fire trap bursts into flames.

1171
01:01:53,237 --> 01:01:53,839
[laughter]

1172
01:01:53,839 --> 01:01:55,599
>> That's right.

1173
01:01:55,599 --> 01:01:56,880
Surprise.

1174
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,787
>> Oh my god, it's Republican.

1175
01:01:59,787 --> 01:01:59,920
[laughter]

1176
01:01:59,920 --> 01:02:02,160
>> Well, I'll take care of that rascal.

1177
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,559
I'll call in the Marines.

1178
01:02:04,559 --> 01:02:07,839
Gone. Gone. There he There he goes. He's

1179
01:02:07,839 --> 01:02:09,760
gone. [laughter]

1180
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:13,880
>> Your Marines ought to be elsewhere.

1181
01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:17,720
>> Make a wish, Dad.

1182
01:02:29,263 --> 01:02:31,283
>> [applause]

1183
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,799
>> Many, many more.

1184
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,720
>> Were you surprised?

1185
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,983
>> Well, yes, I was. [laughter]

1186
01:02:44,983 --> 01:02:48,240
[snorts] You got me.

1187
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:50,960
Sweetheart, I think Margaret and I are

1188
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,240
going to go home for the summer.

1189
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,599
That's not really good for her to be

1190
01:02:55,599 --> 01:02:57,440
here in this goldfish bowl. And I'm

1191
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,640
going to earth leaves to you.

1192
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:06,799
>> Well, that is just not true.

1193
01:03:06,799 --> 01:03:08,400
>> Well, yeah. We'll be out of your way and

1194
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,400
you can get more work done. Nina mother,

1195
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:11,599
she's already started her spring

1196
01:03:11,599 --> 01:03:13,040
cleaning and those storm windows, they

1197
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:14,319
got to come down and I got to talk to

1198
01:03:14,319 --> 01:03:16,240
that Walter Johnson man about painting

1199
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:20,400
the house and spring planting.

1200
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,359
>> Well, I need you here,

1201
01:03:25,359 --> 01:03:27,119
>> Harry.

1202
01:03:27,119 --> 01:03:29,599
You're in that office or in meetings

1203
01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:32,400
seven days a week kissing and weedling

1204
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:34,240
and kicking people to get them to do

1205
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:35,920
what they ought to do anyway. You don't

1206
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,160
need me for that. I wouldn't be good at

1207
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:39,680
any of it.

1208
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,760
even if anybody here ever listened to

1209
01:03:41,760 --> 01:03:44,240
what a woman had to say. Anyway, I'm

1210
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,720
going to get some napkins

1211
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:53,119
and

1212
01:03:53,119 --> 01:03:56,240
I need to see the dog wood bloom.

1213
01:03:56,240 --> 01:03:59,039
Not this dogwood.

1214
01:03:59,039 --> 01:04:02,280
My dogwood.

1215
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,119
It's all happened so fast. She needs

1216
01:04:07,119 --> 01:04:11,799
time. She'll come around.

1217
01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:20,119
>> Yes.

1218
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,640
Thank God. That's wonderful news. Thank

1219
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,640
you.

1220
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,400
I just uh wanted to say thanks for

1221
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,599
the delicious cake.

1222
01:05:19,599 --> 01:05:21,359
I got plenty left here if anybody wants

1223
01:05:21,359 --> 01:05:24,520
a piece.

1224
01:05:25,839 --> 01:05:28,160
>> Oh, well, uh, I didn't mean to interrupt

1225
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,839
your work here. I I'll just leave it

1226
01:05:29,839 --> 01:05:33,160
here for you.

1227
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,280
I've cooked for every president since

1228
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,599
Mr. Kurage. You're the first one since

1229
01:05:37,599 --> 01:05:40,480
him ever came down here. He just came to

1230
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,000
make sure we weren't giving any food

1231
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,000
away.

1232
01:05:45,110 --> 01:05:47,130
>> [laughter]

1233
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,599
>> Uh,

1234
01:05:51,599 --> 01:05:54,559
I uh got a message a few minutes ago

1235
01:05:54,559 --> 01:05:56,640
that uh

1236
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,200
well, it was the best birthday present

1237
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,680
that I could ever have

1238
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:04,880
gotten. I think it uh might be on this

1239
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:09,119
uh radio here right now. Do you mind?

1240
01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:10,880
>> Official. The war in Europe is ended.

1241
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:15,160
Victory belongs to the Allies.

1242
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,240
This is Piccadilli's circle. You

1243
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,119
remember this place when it was

1244
01:06:21,119 --> 01:06:24,599
completely empty?

1245
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:26,880
>> You may hear an occasional bang.

1246
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:31,240
>> My grandson is still in the Pacific.

1247
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:36,319
>> Well, we're going to get him home, too.

1248
01:06:36,319 --> 01:06:37,039
>> Europe,

1249
01:06:37,039 --> 01:06:39,920
>> just as fast as I'm able.

1250
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:42,079
>> Thank you, sir. has come to pass.

1251
01:06:42,079 --> 01:06:45,200
>> Good night.

1252
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,480
>> Peace in your

1253
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,480
>> arrives in Berlin to plan the postwar

1254
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:49,440
peace

1255
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,440
>> with Premier Stalin and Prime Minister

1256
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,200
Churchill.

1257
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,000
>> There is not one piece of territory or

1258
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,079
one thing of a monetary nature that we

1259
01:06:58,079 --> 01:07:01,680
want out of this war.

1260
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,480
The German

1261
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:06,400
British must share it with the Soviet

1262
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:07,039
Union.

1263
01:07:07,039 --> 01:07:09,039
>> That issue will be discussed by our

1264
01:07:09,039 --> 01:07:12,000
foreign minister.

1265
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:14,480
left to our

1266
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:15,599
what will we discuss?

1267
01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:19,200
>> Romania, Bulgaria, you agree Hungary

1268
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,359
that these nations would have democratic

1269
01:07:21,359 --> 01:07:24,359
government

1270
01:07:25,039 --> 01:07:28,599
>> then it is democratic.

1271
01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:31,119
>> Dear Bess,

1272
01:07:31,119 --> 01:07:33,680
we are three old men walking in a

1273
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,200
graveyard planning a brave new world and

1274
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:38,880
we're haggling like a bunch of old

1275
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:40,799
women.

1276
01:07:40,799 --> 01:07:42,319
This head of mine should have been

1277
01:07:42,319 --> 01:07:45,039
bigger and better proportioned.

1278
01:07:45,039 --> 01:07:46,640
There ought to have been more brain and

1279
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:48,720
a larger bump of ego or something to

1280
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:50,720
give me an idea that can be a number one

1281
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,280
man in the world.

1282
01:07:54,559 --> 01:07:57,960
>> Mr. President,

1283
01:08:01,839 --> 01:08:03,440
>> Manhattan,

1284
01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,359
the baby is born.

1285
01:08:05,359 --> 01:08:07,039
>> We're in the Russian zone. The Russians

1286
01:08:07,039 --> 01:08:08,880
prepared this house. I suggest to speak

1287
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,880
outside.

1288
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:19,560
>> The first

1289
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,159
press secretary Ross.

1290
01:08:22,159 --> 01:08:23,600
>> Yeah. The president would like to see

1291
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,120
you, sir.

1292
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:28,319
>> It's pronounced.

1293
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:29,600
If you're going to remove it from the

1294
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:30,799
face of the earth, you ought to know how

1295
01:08:30,799 --> 01:08:32,159
to say it.

1296
01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:34,319
>> I didn't call on you for cheap sarcasm,

1297
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:36,400
Charlie. I was hoping for common sense.

1298
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,799
They're telling you how many dead?

1299
01:08:38,799 --> 01:08:41,679
>> Oppenheimer, the uh chief scientist for

1300
01:08:41,679 --> 01:08:43,359
the bomb, says it might kill as many as

1301
01:08:43,359 --> 01:08:47,000
30,000 people.

1302
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,400
How could I look them in the face and

1303
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:52,400
tell them that?

1304
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,000
Harry, you didn't come to me for common

1305
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,960
sense. You came to me for forgiveness.

1306
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,520
Do what you have to do.

1307
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,080
I'll still be your friend, but this is

1308
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:05,520
changing the course of history.

1309
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:08,640
You clench the victory in the Pacific,

1310
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,359
but you sow the whirlwind.

1311
01:09:14,640 --> 01:09:17,040
16 hours ago, an American airplane

1312
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,679
dropped an atomic bomb, letting loose

1313
01:09:19,679 --> 01:09:21,440
the basic power of the universe on

1314
01:09:21,440 --> 01:09:24,480
Hiroshima, an important Japanese army

1315
01:09:24,480 --> 01:09:29,440
base, and it was totally destroyed.

1316
01:09:29,440 --> 01:09:32,080
There has been no word from Japan, no

1317
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,279
sign of surrender.

1318
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,440
We have more of these bombs and we will

1319
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:39,920
keep on dropping them. We will

1320
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,480
obliterate completely every productive

1321
01:09:42,480 --> 01:09:44,560
enterprise the Japanese have above

1322
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,839
ground. We will destroy their docks,

1323
01:09:47,839 --> 01:09:49,520
their factories, and their

1324
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,120
communications.

1325
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:54,719
We will completely destroy them. If they

1326
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:56,560
do not now accept our terms for

1327
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,520
surrender, they will get a rain of ruin

1328
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,679
from the air the like of which has never

1329
01:10:01,679 --> 01:10:06,360
before been seen on this earth.

1330
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,199
We are gathered here representatives of

1331
01:10:15,199 --> 01:10:18,560
the major waring powers to conclude a

1332
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,280
solemn agreement whereby peace may be

1333
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:23,199
restored.

1334
01:10:23,199 --> 01:10:25,840
It is my earnest hope and indeed the

1335
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,800
hope of all mankind that from this

1336
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:31,920
solemn occasion a better world shall

1337
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,159
emerge out of the blood and carnage of

1338
01:10:34,159 --> 01:10:37,400
the past.

1339
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:56,960
A what a wonderful day. Well, that's a

1340
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,719
great hat,

1341
01:10:58,719 --> 01:10:59,920
>> Miss Skinny. Hi,

1342
01:10:59,920 --> 01:11:01,360
>> Dad.

1343
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,239
>> Everybody, everybody, uh, the boss is up

1344
01:11:04,239 --> 01:11:06,719
from independence to make it official.

1345
01:11:06,719 --> 01:11:07,440
[laughter]

1346
01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:08,960
Here's your oldfashioned ma'am. I had

1347
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,719
Lonzo fixed it for you just the way you

1348
01:11:10,719 --> 01:11:11,120
like it.

1349
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:12,880
>> Well, thank you, Frank. The president

1350
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:14,960
and I don't like fruit punch. [laughter]

1351
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,320
>> That's right. Ah, that's good. It's got

1352
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,474
a kick to it like a Missouri mule.

1353
01:11:20,474 --> 01:11:21,199
[laughter]

1354
01:11:21,199 --> 01:11:23,520
>> Bourbon, a little ice, and a little more

1355
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:24,239
bourbon.

1356
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:28,080
>> Ladies and gentlemen, a toast.

1357
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:30,080
Uh, maybe

1358
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,600
once every thousand years, the human

1359
01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:36,719
race gets a chance to start over.

1360
01:11:36,719 --> 01:11:38,719
I believe

1361
01:11:38,719 --> 01:11:42,080
we have been given that chance.

1362
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,800
I'm going to take the atomic power out

1363
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,440
of the hands of the military

1364
01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:49,600
and talk to the scientists about how to

1365
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:53,040
use it for peaceful pursuits. Now, just

1366
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,920
think of it

1367
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,520
if we don't make a mistake.

1368
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:01,679
What a paradise we could make of this

1369
01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:04,679
world.

1370
01:12:05,199 --> 01:12:06,960
With the world [music] at peace and our

1371
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,120
armies back home, weapons and ammunition

1372
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:11,199
no longer needed for war are dumped at

1373
01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:13,520
sea or burned, [music] Detroit turns out

1374
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,080
the first new automobile in 5 years on

1375
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,480
assembly lines that once produced tanks.

1376
01:12:18,480 --> 01:12:20,080
With victory behind him, President

1377
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,920
Truman wastes no time bringing his

1378
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,030
programs to Congress. [applause]

1379
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:29,199
>> Hello, how are you?

1380
01:12:29,199 --> 01:12:31,679
>> Good to see you, Mr. President.

1381
01:12:31,679 --> 01:12:32,239
>> John, good to see you.

1382
01:12:32,239 --> 01:12:34,640
>> Good to see you.

1383
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:38,000
Welcome gentlemen and madam.

1384
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,760
The president has announcement of

1385
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,920
special importance because of recent

1386
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,280
events in the south and elsewhere.

1387
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,320
Thank you.

1388
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,640
We believe that all men are created

1389
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,520
equal and have the right to equal

1390
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:02,080
treatment under the law.

1391
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,600
Therefore,

1392
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,560
I have written an executive order to

1393
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,120
correct a great injustice

1394
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,679
and lay the foundation for civil rights

1395
01:13:11,679 --> 01:13:14,800
laws that secure those rights to men of

1396
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:19,280
all colors and creed in all places and

1397
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,600
at all times.

1398
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,360
>> Damn it. Why in God's name do they have

1399
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,280
to put negres with white boys in the

1400
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,560
army

1401
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,360
>> and into federal employment?

1402
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,080
Don't president has come down here to

1403
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,239
explain his views.

1404
01:13:34,239 --> 01:13:35,920
>> My family had southern leanings and

1405
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,159
southern feelings. I damn near joined

1406
01:13:38,159 --> 01:13:40,719
the Ku Klux Clan. Tom Pendergast talked

1407
01:13:40,719 --> 01:13:41,920
me out of it because the clan was

1408
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,719
anti-atholic. But when I hear the negro

1409
01:13:44,719 --> 01:13:46,480
soldiers we're sending out to fight and

1410
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:48,320
die for their country, get dumped out of

1411
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:52,480
armored trucks and beaten in Mississippi

1412
01:13:52,480 --> 01:13:54,480
and mob gangs in Georgia shoot [ __ ]

1413
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:55,840
and the law knows about it and does

1414
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,760
nothing. My stomach turns over.

1415
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:02,159
Whatever my inclinations as a native of

1416
01:14:02,159 --> 01:14:04,080
Missouri might have been, as president,

1417
01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:06,480
I know this is bad. It is an evil of the

1418
01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:09,719
worst kind.

1419
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:11,600
I'm going to try to stop it. And that's

1420
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,800
all there is to it. What beats me is how

1421
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:16,960
a man as smart as Franklin Roosevelt can

1422
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,600
make a damn failed habitasher his vice

1423
01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,566
president.

1424
01:14:22,566 --> 01:14:23,280
[cheering]

1425
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,600
If we must grind up human flesh and bone

1426
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,400
in the industrial machine that they call

1427
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,920
modern America, we owe protection to

1428
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:37,120
those men first. And we owe the security

1429
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,840
for their families if they die. I say

1430
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:43,280
it, I voice it. I proclaim it. And I

1431
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,320
care not who in heaven or hell opposes

1432
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:46,640
it.

1433
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,199
>> I am the representative of 140 million

1434
01:14:49,199 --> 01:14:50,719
people.

1435
01:14:50,719 --> 01:14:54,159
I cannot stand idly by, for they are

1436
01:14:54,159 --> 01:14:56,000
caused to suffer by reason of the coal

1437
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:58,239
miners and the railroad men going on

1438
01:14:58,239 --> 01:15:00,960
strike. I request Congress to authorize

1439
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,159
the president to draft into the army all

1440
01:15:04,159 --> 01:15:06,880
workers who are on strike against their

1441
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,320
government.

1442
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,040
>> In Europe, one-time allies fall to

1443
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,600
communist aggression.

1444
01:15:14,719 --> 01:15:18,960
From Statine in the Baltic to Trieste in

1445
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,000
the Adriatic, an iron curtain has

1446
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:26,040
descended across the continent.

1447
01:15:36,719 --> 01:15:38,480
We're closer to war in Europe than at

1448
01:15:38,480 --> 01:15:41,280
any time since 1939.

1449
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:42,880
If we recognize the Jewish state, the

1450
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:44,960
Arabs will attack. Jews don't have an

1451
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:46,640
army. We'll have to protect them with

1452
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,640
what? We don't have the men. We don't

1453
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,480
have the weapons. And we can't take what

1454
01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:51,679
we do have out of Europe.

1455
01:15:51,679 --> 01:15:54,080
>> And Stalin would view the creation of a

1456
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,400
Jewish state as a perfect opportunity to

1457
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,400
try and drive a wedge between Iran and

1458
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:00,960
the West.

1459
01:16:00,960 --> 01:16:02,400
>> Clark,

1460
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,640
>> this is a uh

1461
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:06,480
this is a foreign policy briefing. Mr.

1462
01:16:06,480 --> 01:16:09,600
President, what is Clifford doing here?

1463
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:11,600
>> He's the White House counsel. I asked

1464
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,040
him to be here, General. Well, if you'll

1465
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,520
excuse me, sir, I I believe Mr.

1466
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:16,880
Clifford's interest is in the Jewish

1467
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:17,600
vote.

1468
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,520
>> Well, now wait a minute. Let's just see

1469
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,880
what he has to say here. Clark,

1470
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:24,480
>> no matter what the State Department or

1471
01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:26,800
anybody else thinks,

1472
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,480
we are faced with the actual fact that

1473
01:16:28,480 --> 01:16:31,199
there is to be a Jewish state,

1474
01:16:31,199 --> 01:16:33,440
recognition of that state would embody

1475
01:16:33,440 --> 01:16:36,400
everything that this country represents.

1476
01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,080
Not only the establishment of a friendly

1477
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:39,679
democracy in an unstable part of the

1478
01:16:39,679 --> 01:16:42,640
world with no democratic tradition,

1479
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,120
but the creation of a safe haven for

1480
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:47,600
people whose suffering is so vast as to

1481
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,640
stupify the human mind.

1482
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,520
>> Well, George, he's right.

1483
01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,640
And you're right,

1484
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,280
>> and Dean's right.

1485
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:09,760
Well, sir, I must tell you that uh

1486
01:17:09,760 --> 01:17:13,120
that if you allow politics to determine

1487
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,560
foreign policy, then uh were I to vote,

1488
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:20,760
I would vote against you, November.

1489
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:26,840
And I have nothing more to add to this.

1490
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:31,400
Excuse me.

1491
01:17:35,440 --> 01:17:38,000
Well, that was rough as a cub.

1492
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,400
>> Let him resign.

1493
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:41,679
It's hard enough dealing with your

1494
01:17:41,679 --> 01:17:45,960
friends. Why put up with open rebellion?

1495
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:49,480
Dear Bessar,

1496
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,800
>> your sister called.

1497
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,280
Mama was alive when there were still

1498
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,960
slaves in the United States.

1499
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,280
sent her son off to the war that was

1500
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:17,920
supposed to end all wars. She's on the

1501
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:21,800
birth of the atomic age.

1502
01:18:25,040 --> 01:18:28,199
>> Come on,

1503
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:31,679
Bess. I'm not going to run for another

1504
01:18:31,679 --> 01:18:33,679
turn.

1505
01:18:33,679 --> 01:18:35,760
Going to do what I think needs doing and

1506
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,640
finish it out and then we'll come home

1507
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,560
for good like you always wanted.

1508
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:43,840
When are you going to stop making

1509
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:46,719
promises you can't keep?

1510
01:18:46,719 --> 01:18:51,440
You'll run it. You'll have to.

1511
01:18:51,440 --> 01:18:53,520
>> According to who?

1512
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:57,520
Not the Democratic Party.

1513
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,640
>> I thought this would please you.

1514
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,080
>> Well, you can please me by stopping

1515
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,440
thinking you can read my mind.

1516
01:19:05,440 --> 01:19:09,040
You'll run cuz you have to be president

1517
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:11,360
in your own right. You know that.

1518
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:16,400
They quit now just like it's been all

1519
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:18,630
an accident.

1520
01:19:18,630 --> 01:19:23,159
[sighs] Roosevelt dying before his time.

1521
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,199
And I'm not going to live out my days

1522
01:19:27,199 --> 01:19:28,800
watching some old man sit around

1523
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:34,719
thinking he was nothing but an accident.

1524
01:19:34,719 --> 01:19:36,640
Harry,

1525
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,640
what are you doing here on Saturday for

1526
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:40,320
your desk?

1527
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,159
Got it from a fell in Texas.

1528
01:19:44,159 --> 01:19:46,640
>> The buck stops here. How about that?

1529
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,120
>> That's right. And I got another surprise

1530
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:50,080
for you.

1531
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,480
>> Eddie Jacobson.

1532
01:19:56,719 --> 01:19:57,679
>> How are you, Harry?

1533
01:19:57,679 --> 01:20:00,239
>> Good. How's you looking? Well,

1534
01:20:00,239 --> 01:20:04,320
>> you too. Sit down. Sit down.

1535
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,360
How's the family?

1536
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,280
>> Well, paid off the last claim for my

1537
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,000
share of the store last year. We're

1538
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:14,880
fine, Harry.

1539
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:15,920
>> Good. Good.

1540
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:18,880
>> Mr. President,

1541
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,239
some people have asked me to talk to

1542
01:20:20,239 --> 01:20:24,640
you. Great people, great Jews. We're

1543
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,920
building a a homeland in Palestine.

1544
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,040
>> Yes. Well, uh,

1545
01:20:31,040 --> 01:20:35,679
I've already spoken out on that.

1546
01:20:35,679 --> 01:20:37,280
>> We know you're under great pressure from

1547
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:39,440
some powerful interests.

1548
01:20:39,440 --> 01:20:41,120
>> Well, the Zionists have been in here

1549
01:20:41,120 --> 01:20:42,880
making their case, and the more I say

1550
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,280
I'm for them, the more pressure I get.

1551
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,400
They They can't take yes for an answer.

1552
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:50,960
>> It's not a thing to joke about.

1553
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:52,800
>> Well, of course, it's no joke. You don't

1554
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:55,520
have to tell me that.

1555
01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,520
I'm about to lose the support to the one

1556
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,280
man in government the world needs most

1557
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:00,560
over this single issue.

1558
01:21:00,560 --> 01:21:03,760
>> The issue is Arab oil and Jewish blood.

1559
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:05,679
>> Oil?

1560
01:21:05,679 --> 01:21:07,760
You think that's what I care about?

1561
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,800
>> Big business, low gas prices, Jewish

1562
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:12,560
blood. Now, where's the right and wrong

1563
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:13,840
in that?

1564
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,280
>> Eddie, you know me.

1565
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,320
I will make a decision when I'm ready,

1566
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,679
and it'll be my best bet.

1567
01:21:23,679 --> 01:21:27,120
But not everybody's going to like it.

1568
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,480
>> And what happens if you're wrong?

1569
01:21:30,480 --> 01:21:34,000
>> Then I'll make another decision.

1570
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:35,600
>> Uh, doesn't it have a name?

1571
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,360
>> Supposed to be penciled in.

1572
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,640
>> Yes. Well, it's not here. Uh, do I have

1573
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:43,040
to uh can I just write it in here or

1574
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,560
does it have to be typewritten?

1575
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:45,520
>> Just write it in

1576
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:50,280
>> with my pen, Mr. President.

1577
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,840
state

1578
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:02,000
of

1579
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:04,719
Israel.

1580
01:22:04,719 --> 01:22:07,520
>> Eddie,

1581
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,080
God put you in your mother's womb for

1582
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,320
this moment.

1583
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,920
>> General Marshall,

1584
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:24,159
>> I'm sorry. We disagreed, General.

1585
01:22:24,159 --> 01:22:27,040
>> I would hope that we uh still have a

1586
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,840
future together where we won't disagree

1587
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:32,000
again.

1588
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,080
>> Sir, one does not resign because a

1589
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:35,679
president whose job is to make decisions

1590
01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:39,000
makes one.

1591
01:22:53,472 --> 01:22:55,492
>> [music]

1592
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,800
>> How are you? Good to see you.

1593
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:05,639
How are you? Good to see you.

1594
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:10,639
>> You did the advance work, Basser.

1595
01:23:10,639 --> 01:23:11,360
Where's the crowd?

1596
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,760
>> What crowd? It's reunion. Family only.

1597
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:15,760
Look at Harry. He's like a kid. This is

1598
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:17,280
the president of the United States. He's

1599
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:18,639
making an important speech. It's an

1600
01:23:18,639 --> 01:23:20,159
election year. You don't like the way I

1601
01:23:20,159 --> 01:23:24,600
do things, take it up to the boss.

1602
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:26,639
>> All right. All right.

1603
01:23:26,639 --> 01:23:30,152
>> Say hello to the boss.

1604
01:23:30,152 --> 01:23:32,172
[applause]

1605
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:40,633
>> And the boss is boss. [cheering]

1606
01:23:40,633 --> 01:23:42,653
[applause]

1607
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,600
Sit down.

1608
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,440
>> Take your seats.

1609
01:23:52,639 --> 01:23:55,679
>> The children of Europe

1610
01:23:55,679 --> 01:23:57,920
will die in greater numbers than in the

1611
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,760
war.

1612
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:01,360
Unless

1613
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,760
we immediately undertake her economic

1614
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:07,679
recovery. With the Marshall Plan, we

1615
01:24:07,679 --> 01:24:10,560
will be the first great nation in all

1616
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:14,400
the history of the world to feed and

1617
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,440
support our farmer enemies as well as

1618
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:18,400
our friends.

1619
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:21,520
>> And on next January 20, there will begin

1620
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,880
in Washington the biggest unraveling,

1621
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:28,000
unsnaraling, untangling operation in our

1622
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:28,719
nation's history.

1623
01:24:28,719 --> 01:24:30,560
>> Election year gathers momentum with

1624
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,639
Republicans solidly behind Governor

1625
01:24:32,639 --> 01:24:35,040
Buick. President Truman's popularity

1626
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,440
plummets and party leaders look to

1627
01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:39,760
heroes of the war to replace him.

1628
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:42,000
>> My politics can be summed up in one

1629
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:43,600
phrase.

1630
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,159
God bless America.

1631
01:24:46,159 --> 01:24:49,120
>> I am a soldier. I belong to the army and

1632
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:52,080
the army is truly national. It lives to

1633
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,480
serve the nation and nobody else, no

1634
01:24:54,480 --> 01:24:54,960
party.

1635
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,840
>> The convention begins in chaos and

1636
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:00,719
infighting.

1637
01:25:00,719 --> 01:25:02,400
Listen

1638
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,520
to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.

1639
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:08,520
People

1640
01:25:09,679 --> 01:25:11,520
will not be crucified on a cross to

1641
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:13,600
civil rights. This is a naked effort to

1642
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,080
reduce a white MAN TO A MONG RACE. WE'LL

1643
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,560
NOT WE'LL NOMINATE OUR OWN CANDIDATE AND

1644
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,880
bid hairy ass. Truman and the Democrat

1645
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,880
party.

1646
01:25:24,239 --> 01:25:26,639
Ballot after ballot, the search for a

1647
01:25:26,639 --> 01:25:28,960
new leader of the demortalized Democrats

1648
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:30,880
goes far into the night.

1649
01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:32,880
>> Television,

1650
01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,800
>> coast to coast.

1651
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,120
>> First time ever.

1652
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:38,800
Not anyone's going to see you at 2:00 in

1653
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,760
the morning.

1654
01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:44,480
>> Damn parties on some kind of suicidal

1655
01:25:44,480 --> 01:25:46,239
jag.

1656
01:25:46,239 --> 01:25:49,040
>> It's crazy. Max

1657
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:51,760
1 half vote

1658
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:54,159
947

1659
01:25:54,159 --> 01:25:55,199
and 12.

1660
01:25:55,199 --> 01:25:56,560
>> Maybe I can wake him up.

1661
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:00,159
>> Declare him the Democratic nominee for

1662
01:26:00,159 --> 01:26:04,520
president of the United States

1663
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:14,880
to a new and a greater destiny.

1664
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:21,000
President of the United States, Harry P.

1665
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,780
>> [music]

1666
01:26:43,679 --> 01:26:46,480
>> I just want to say that for the next

1667
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:47,679
four years they're going to be a

1668
01:26:47,679 --> 01:26:48,960
Democrat in the White House.

1669
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,440
>> You're looking at him.

1670
01:26:52,480 --> 01:26:55,840
>> We will win because we are right and

1671
01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,800
they are wrong. The do nothing

1672
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:00,800
Republican Congress, the worst in

1673
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:04,400
history, say they are for education,

1674
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,120
civil rights, health insurance for

1675
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,840
everybody who's sick, housing for the

1676
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:13,120
working man, low taxes, all the things

1677
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,520
that I stand up to and which they refuse

1678
01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,320
to pass. Well, if they are for these

1679
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:19,520
things, I'm going to give them a chance

1680
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,080
to prove it. I am therefore calling this

1681
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:24,960
Congress back into session on the 26th

1682
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:26,960
of July. And if the Republicans really

1683
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,199
mean what they say, they can prove it by

1684
01:27:29,199 --> 01:27:33,815
passing the legislation we gave them.

1685
01:27:33,815 --> 01:27:35,835
[applause]

1686
01:27:39,440 --> 01:27:42,239
This is HD Caltonborn speaking from the

1687
01:27:42,239 --> 01:27:44,159
New York studios of the National

1688
01:27:44,159 --> 01:27:46,320
Broadcasting Company. While Governor

1689
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,880
Dwey barely bothers to campaign,

1690
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:50,880
President Truman is on a whistle stop

1691
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,520
crusade, begging for votes wherever he

1692
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:56,000
can find them. This is your fight. I'm

1693
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,679
just waking you up to the fact that it

1694
01:27:57,679 --> 01:27:59,679
is your fight. You better get out there

1695
01:27:59,679 --> 01:28:01,360
and help me win THIS FIGHT OR YOU'RE

1696
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:04,159
going to BE THE LOSER, NOT I.

1697
01:28:04,159 --> 01:28:06,320
This Republican Congress has already

1698
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,960
stuck a pitchfork in the farmer's back.

1699
01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:11,360
IT'S A SAD TALE OF THE SELLOUT OF THE

1700
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,400
PEOPLE TO THESE GLUTTON OF PRIVILEGE.

1701
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,800
THESE COLD MEN WHO SKIM THE CREAM from

1702
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:19,520
our natural resources to satisfy their

1703
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,400
OWN GREED. YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO WASTE

1704
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:25,520
YOUR VOTE THIS YEAR. I MUST HAVE YOUR

1705
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:29,120
HELP. THE COUNTRY CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER

1706
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,639
REPUBLICAN CONGRESS.

1707
01:28:32,639 --> 01:28:35,440
>> The Gallup poll show very little hope.

1708
01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:38,719
The president so authoritative sources

1709
01:28:38,719 --> 01:28:40,880
say the Democratic Party is short of

1710
01:28:40,880 --> 01:28:41,920
money.

1711
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:45,880
>> Yes. Why are we stopping?

1712
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:53,120
Hey, this train is not moving till we

1713
01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:57,040
get paid up in cash. You'll get paid. We

1714
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:58,480
got people waiting for the president up

1715
01:28:58,480 --> 01:28:59,840
ahead. What's the matter with you

1716
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:01,120
anyway? You ought to be honored to be

1717
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:04,239
driving this man's train. [ __ ] This

1718
01:29:04,239 --> 01:29:05,840
is the same guy was going to draft

1719
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,600
railroad men into the army to break our

1720
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:09,600
strike. Now he wants us to work for

1721
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:13,040
nothing all over again. I already sent

1722
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,679
my absentee ballot.

1723
01:29:15,679 --> 01:29:18,679
Could

1724
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:23,679
I uh could I have your attention,

1725
01:29:23,679 --> 01:29:24,719
please?

1726
01:29:24,719 --> 01:29:26,880
>> Thank you.

1727
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,600
The leaders of the Democratic Party have

1728
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:31,520
read the polls

1729
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,679
and they have told me that they do not

1730
01:29:33,679 --> 01:29:35,520
want to throw good money away on a

1731
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,400
hopeless quest. So, they have stopped

1732
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:41,199
paying for the train. Now, I don't care

1733
01:29:41,199 --> 01:29:42,800
whether you vote for Harry Truman or

1734
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,760
not. That's not the issue here. What is

1735
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:47,520
important is that the president can take

1736
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:49,520
his case to the people and let the

1737
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,480
people make a choice. So, with your

1738
01:29:52,480 --> 01:29:55,440
help, I'm going to pass a hat and let's

1739
01:29:55,440 --> 01:29:57,520
see if we can keep this train running.

1740
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:01,280
All right. All right.

1741
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:03,199
I told my fellow party members that if

1742
01:30:03,199 --> 01:30:05,199
Moses had waited on the polls, he'd

1743
01:30:05,199 --> 01:30:08,239
still be waiting in Egypt.

1744
01:30:08,239 --> 01:30:09,600
>> Give them hell, Harry.

1745
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:12,982
>> Well, I'm doing it.

1746
01:30:12,982 --> 01:30:15,002
[applause]

1747
01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:18,159
Okay. Well, thank you for coming. I

1748
01:30:18,159 --> 01:30:19,520
appreciate it.

1749
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,760
>> Thank you.

1750
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:25,840
>> Yeah. Roosevelt never had to beg like

1751
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:31,239
this. Roosevelt was a great man.

1752
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,239
>> I'm here on a serious mission. And

1753
01:30:40,239 --> 01:30:43,600
because it is so serious, I propose to

1754
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,639
speak to you as cleanly as I can. You

1755
01:30:46,639 --> 01:30:49,280
don't get any double talk from me. I'm

1756
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,239
either for something or against it. And

1757
01:30:52,239 --> 01:30:54,560
you know it. You know what I stand for?

1758
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,719
I stand for a government of the people

1759
01:30:56,719 --> 01:30:59,520
and not the special interest. I'm

1760
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:02,400
calling this trip a crusade. It's a

1761
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,719
crusade of the people against the

1762
01:31:04,719 --> 01:31:06,560
special interest. And if you vote the

1763
01:31:06,560 --> 01:31:08,719
Democratic TICKET AND BACK ME UP, WE ARE

1764
01:31:08,719 --> 01:31:11,278
GOING TO WIN IN NOVEMBER.

1765
01:31:11,278 --> 01:31:13,298
[applause]

1766
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:15,679
Get a load of this crap. They love it.

1767
01:31:15,679 --> 01:31:17,440
Are you kidding? These rooms will come

1768
01:31:17,440 --> 01:31:19,280
out to see a two-headed cat. [applause]

1769
01:31:19,280 --> 01:31:23,040
Doesn't mean they'll vote for it.

1770
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,120
>> Give them hell, hurry. [applause]

1771
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:26,719
>> Well, I don't give them hell. I just

1772
01:31:26,719 --> 01:31:28,239
tell the truth on them and they think

1773
01:31:28,239 --> 01:31:32,239
it's hell. That's right.

1774
01:31:32,239 --> 01:31:34,239
You want to meet the boss? And the boss

1775
01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:36,168
is boss.

1776
01:31:36,168 --> 01:31:37,360
[applause]

1777
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:39,040
>> You call me boss one more time. And I'm

1778
01:31:39,040 --> 01:31:40,400
getting off this train no matter how

1779
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,083
fast it's going. Yeah. [applause]

1780
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:57,199
Truman seem to have some strength in the

1781
01:31:57,199 --> 01:31:59,520
cities, the countryside, and suburbs

1782
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:01,360
where Governor Dwey has his strongest

1783
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:03,520
support are certain to go to the

1784
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,840
Republicans. And the latest blow to the

1785
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,000
president's hopes, Dr. Gallup has

1786
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:10,480
announced he will cancel further polling

1787
01:32:10,480 --> 01:32:12,719
as he believes the outcome is already

1788
01:32:12,719 --> 01:32:13,600
certain.

1789
01:32:13,600 --> 01:32:15,679
>> Truman goes down.

1790
01:32:15,679 --> 01:32:17,280
>> Mrs. Truman.

1791
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:18,400
>> Am I disturbing you?

1792
01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:22,239
>> No, not at all. Is anything the matter?

1793
01:32:22,239 --> 01:32:25,239
>> Well,

1794
01:32:33,280 --> 01:32:35,120
do you really think Harry believes he's

1795
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:36,560
going to win?

1796
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:37,679
>> Well, he certainly gives every

1797
01:32:37,679 --> 01:32:39,360
appearance under every condition. I

1798
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:42,760
>> think he's beaten.

1799
01:32:44,080 --> 01:32:47,760
How does he keep going?

1800
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,080
>> Where does that come from?

1801
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,520
>> What'll he do if he loses?

1802
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,600
>> What will you both do?

1803
01:32:55,600 --> 01:33:00,080
>> What? Clark, we'll go home.

1804
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,639
>> The electorate goes to the polls in the

1805
01:33:02,639 --> 01:33:05,360
widespread conviction that a Republican

1806
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:09,080
sweep is a certainty.

1807
01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,360
The point I've been predicting all along

1808
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,080
as regarded the country is the very

1809
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:24,960
strong lead.

1810
01:33:24,960 --> 01:33:26,080
>> Want to hear the returns?

1811
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:27,600
>> The beginning.

1812
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:29,040
>> I'm going to have a ham sandwich and go

1813
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:30,639
to bed. A very close race.

1814
01:33:30,639 --> 01:33:34,159
>> You wake me up. Understand

1815
01:33:34,159 --> 01:33:37,040
the winner. The counting of the vote has

1816
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:40,400
been very slow.

1817
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:44,159
Quiet jubilation is the mood at Duey

1818
01:33:44,159 --> 01:33:45,679
headquarters.

1819
01:33:45,679 --> 01:33:51,000
This is definitely a Republican year.

1820
01:33:51,679 --> 01:33:54,400
>> My father is not here. I promise he does

1821
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:55,360
not know where he is.

1822
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:56,639
>> Mr. Truman. Has he heard the early

1823
01:33:56,639 --> 01:33:59,639
returns?

1824
01:33:59,679 --> 01:34:03,000
>> Does he know?

1825
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:08,000
Late returns show Democrats alienated by

1826
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,639
Truman's policies returning to the fold

1827
01:34:10,639 --> 01:34:13,120
in surprising numbers. The president is

1828
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,199
a million votes ahead in the popular

1829
01:34:15,199 --> 01:34:18,880
vote. Could it be the tide is turning?

1830
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:22,400
Unbelievable if true. For the first time

1831
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,040
since 1916,

1832
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:28,480
the United States faces a country so

1833
01:34:28,480 --> 01:34:31,120
evenly divided in a national election

1834
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:35,280
that no one knows. Hours and hours after

1835
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,880
the polls have closed, who is to be the

1836
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,920
next president of the United States,

1837
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,040
Harry Truman has accomplished one of the

1838
01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:48,080
political miracles of our times. In the

1839
01:34:48,080 --> 01:34:51,120
face of national polls that were

1840
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:54,000
universal in predicting his defeat, he

1841
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:57,040
has come through triumphantly in his bid

1842
01:34:57,040 --> 01:34:59,679
for the presidency of the United States

1843
01:34:59,679 --> 01:35:00,480
in his own

1844
01:35:00,480 --> 01:35:03,800
>> the car, Frank.

1845
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,520
We got a mate.

1846
01:35:11,010 --> 01:35:13,031
[applause]

1847
01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:16,159
>> Seen the morning paper. Mr. President,

1848
01:35:16,159 --> 01:35:19,159
>> congratulations.

1849
01:35:19,526 --> 01:35:21,546
[laughter]

1850
01:35:25,440 --> 01:35:27,360
I, Harry,

1851
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:29,040
>> do solemnly affirm

1852
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:30,639
>> do solemnly affirm

1853
01:35:30,639 --> 01:35:32,480
>> that I will faithfully [music] execute

1854
01:35:32,480 --> 01:35:34,400
the office of President of the United

1855
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:34,960
States

1856
01:35:34,960 --> 01:35:36,960
>> that I will faithfully execute the

1857
01:35:36,960 --> 01:35:38,800
office of President of the United

1858
01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:43,106
States. So help me God.

1859
01:35:43,106 --> 01:35:45,126
[music]

1860
01:35:52,276 --> 01:35:54,296
>> [music]

1861
01:35:56,861 --> 01:35:58,881
[cheering]

1862
01:36:00,136 --> 01:36:02,101
[applause]

1863
01:36:02,101 --> 01:36:04,121
[music]

1864
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:08,239
>> Thank you.

1865
01:36:08,239 --> 01:36:10,560
It appears the American people have

1866
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,560
spoken.

1867
01:36:16,511 --> 01:36:18,531
>> [applause]

1868
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:30,800
>> Uh on election night, I had my sandwich

1869
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:33,840
and uh glass of buttermilk and went to

1870
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,400
bed about 6:30.

1871
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:41,440
And along about uh 12:00, I

1872
01:36:41,440 --> 01:36:44,000
woke up for some reason and the uh radio

1873
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,320
was turned on the National Broadcasting

1874
01:36:46,320 --> 01:36:48,159
Company

1875
01:36:48,159 --> 01:36:51,226
and Mr. Caltonborn,

1876
01:36:51,226 --> 01:36:51,840
[laughter]

1877
01:36:51,840 --> 01:36:55,600
Mr. Calenborn was saying,

1878
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:59,360
"While the president is a million votes

1879
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:02,480
ahead in the popular vote,

1880
01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:06,000
we are very sure that when the country

1881
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,480
vote comes in, Mr. Truman will be

1882
01:37:08,480 --> 01:37:12,320
defeated by an overwhelming majority."

1883
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:15,462
>> Well, I'm sorry it didn't go that way.

1884
01:37:15,462 --> 01:37:16,000
[laughter]

1885
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:17,840
You're going to have to put up with me

1886
01:37:17,840 --> 01:37:20,702
for another four years.

1887
01:37:20,702 --> 01:37:22,722
>> [applause and cheering]

1888
01:37:27,920 --> 01:37:30,800
>> A woman to do cooking and housework in

1889
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:34,457
exchange for lessons in ventilator. You

1890
01:37:34,457 --> 01:37:36,239
[laughter]

1891
01:37:36,239 --> 01:37:38,000
>> I'm going to sing on television and you

1892
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:39,520
won't even see me because you don't have

1893
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:40,880
a TV set.

1894
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:44,080
>> Well, Mother Wallace believes what uh

1895
01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:46,159
Fred Allen says about the television.

1896
01:37:46,159 --> 01:37:47,920
>> And don't hold with furniture that looks

1897
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:50,000
back at you. [laughter]

1898
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:51,760
Television's a future. Better get used

1899
01:37:51,760 --> 01:37:52,320
to it.

1900
01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,080
>> Mr. President,

1901
01:37:54,080 --> 01:37:55,760
>> Secretary of State Aerson is on the

1902
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:56,480
line.

1903
01:37:56,480 --> 01:37:58,159
>> Hang up. It's too late for the

1904
01:37:58,159 --> 01:37:59,520
telephone.

1905
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,119
>> I want you to go a day ahead to your

1906
01:38:01,119 --> 01:38:02,000
concerts

1907
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,000
>> so you can check into your hotel.

1908
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:05,440
>> And you get a good night's sleep before

1909
01:38:05,440 --> 01:38:06,719
you have to sing, too.

1910
01:38:06,719 --> 01:38:07,600
>> Yes, D.

1911
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:08,560
>> Yes.

1912
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:10,560
>> I gave him part of my supper last night

1913
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:11,840
and he growled at me.

1914
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:13,679
>> Oh, no. No. [laughter]

1915
01:38:13,679 --> 01:38:15,280
>> Are you trying to insinuate that my

1916
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,320
cooking isn't fit for adult? Well,

1917
01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:22,199
that's Einstein's theory.

1918
01:38:22,480 --> 01:38:24,639
>> How the hell did we let this happen?

1919
01:38:24,639 --> 01:38:26,480
>> There was absolutely no advanced

1920
01:38:26,480 --> 01:38:28,639
warning. The North Korean communists

1921
01:38:28,639 --> 01:38:30,320
just swarmed over the border and the

1922
01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:33,199
South Korean army ran away. We cannot

1923
01:38:33,199 --> 01:38:35,119
let the communists take Korea the same

1924
01:38:35,119 --> 01:38:37,040
way they took Czechoslovakia.

1925
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:38,719
>> Well, by God, I'm going to draw the

1926
01:38:38,719 --> 01:38:40,480
line. They're not going to get Korea by

1927
01:38:40,480 --> 01:38:41,920
default because they think we're afraid

1928
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:43,280
to fight.

1929
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:45,040
>> When's MacArthur land in Korea?

1930
01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,520
>> It's on the move, sir.

1931
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,000
This is page one, sir,

1932
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:53,199
general. Thank you.

1933
01:38:53,199 --> 01:38:55,040
>> All right, my fellow Americans, I want

1934
01:38:55,040 --> 01:38:56,800
to talk to you tonight about what our

1935
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:57,679
country is up against.

1936
01:38:57,679 --> 01:38:59,440
>> Uh, Mr. President, might it be better to

1937
01:38:59,440 --> 01:39:02,400
say with than to? If you say talk to, it

1938
01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:03,920
sounds like you're laying down the law a

1939
01:39:03,920 --> 01:39:04,960
little bit.

1940
01:39:04,960 --> 01:39:06,639
>> Well, Dean, somebody's got to lay down

1941
01:39:06,639 --> 01:39:08,800
the law around here some of the time.

1942
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:10,639
Some people confuse liberty and license.

1943
01:39:10,639 --> 01:39:12,000
They think the country owes them nothing

1944
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,320
but privileges and nobody's supposed to

1945
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:15,280
lay down the law about their

1946
01:39:15,280 --> 01:39:17,760
responsibilities.

1947
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:19,280
I want to talk to MacArthur face to

1948
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:23,040
face. After the communists initial sneak

1949
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,920
attack that pushed our forces almost

1950
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:30,719
into the sea, our landing at Inchan, a

1951
01:39:30,719 --> 01:39:32,560
military feat that will go down in

1952
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:35,679
history with Alexanders and Napoleons,

1953
01:39:35,679 --> 01:39:38,239
cut off the communists, forcing him into

1954
01:39:38,239 --> 01:39:40,239
a disorganized retreat that ends with

1955
01:39:40,239 --> 01:39:43,440
the body of his army outside the borders

1956
01:39:43,440 --> 01:39:46,800
of his own country in China.

1957
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:48,719
>> Mr. President, is there any possibility

1958
01:39:48,719 --> 01:39:51,440
the Chinese will come into the war?

1959
01:39:51,440 --> 01:39:54,159
>> None. Our boys will be home by

1960
01:39:54,159 --> 01:39:55,760
Christmas.

1961
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:59,679
>> General, our country is very fortunate

1962
01:39:59,679 --> 01:40:02,239
that we had the right man at the right

1963
01:40:02,239 --> 01:40:05,440
place and at the right time.

1964
01:40:05,440 --> 01:40:09,800
>> Boss don't like the son of a [ __ ]

1965
01:40:11,840 --> 01:40:13,840
>> You believe what you said back there?

1966
01:40:13,840 --> 01:40:16,000
The Chinese will not attack. We have

1967
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:17,360
beaten them for now.

1968
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,360
>> Well, I want to be sure that Korea does

1969
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:21,360
not develop into World War II.

1970
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:23,520
>> We are already in a worldwide war

1971
01:40:23,520 --> 01:40:25,760
against the communists, sir. I am

1972
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,480
surprised you don't see it that way.

1973
01:40:28,480 --> 01:40:30,880
Korea is the opening round.

1974
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,280
>> I want Korea to be the closing round.

1975
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:36,800
>> In the last war, I stood alone in the

1976
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:38,320
Pacific.

1977
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:40,400
The same men who saw that all our

1978
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:42,480
resources went to Europe then and left

1979
01:40:42,480 --> 01:40:44,320
me to fight in the Pacific virtually

1980
01:40:44,320 --> 01:40:46,159
unsupported

1981
01:40:46,159 --> 01:40:49,199
surround you now. These same men now

1982
01:40:49,199 --> 01:40:51,679
occupy the State Department and fill the

1983
01:40:51,679 --> 01:40:54,560
highest posts in the Pentagon. I will

1984
01:40:54,560 --> 01:40:57,679
not fail my duty here, sir, but I must

1985
01:40:57,679 --> 01:41:01,520
know that I will not again be left to

1986
01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:03,040
fight alone.

1987
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,280
>> General, you have all the spark you need

1988
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:06,719
now.

1989
01:41:06,719 --> 01:41:10,320
Yeah, my work fart.

1990
01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:12,560
>> Well, fine.

1991
01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:14,560
May I smoke, sir?

1992
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:16,800
>> Go right ahead.

1993
01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:19,199
I expect I've had more smoke blown my

1994
01:41:19,199 --> 01:41:23,159
way than any man alive.

1995
01:41:25,199 --> 01:41:27,119
Dear Bess,

1996
01:41:27,119 --> 01:41:30,639
had dinner by myself tonight. Barnett

1997
01:41:30,639 --> 01:41:33,360
pulls out my chair.

1998
01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:36,400
John brings me a tenderloin.

1999
01:41:36,400 --> 01:41:41,239
Barnett brings me asparagus and beets.

2000
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:45,760
My ring.

2001
01:41:45,760 --> 01:41:48,719
Barnett ticks the plates.

2002
01:41:48,719 --> 01:41:52,239
John comes in with a silver crumb tray.

2003
01:41:52,239 --> 01:41:54,480
There are no crumbs, but he has to brush

2004
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:56,239
them anyway.

2005
01:41:56,239 --> 01:42:01,080
I take a hand bath in the finger bowl.

2006
01:42:01,920 --> 01:42:05,400
What a life.

2007
01:42:08,159 --> 01:42:10,639
Mr. President, the Chinese have invaded

2008
01:42:10,639 --> 01:42:13,639
Korea.

2009
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:16,159
They've crossed the border. The 10th

2010
01:42:16,159 --> 01:42:18,719
Corps is destroyed. The Eighth Army is

2011
01:42:18,719 --> 01:42:21,520
in retreat. It's the worst military

2012
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,679
disaster in our history.

2013
01:42:23,679 --> 01:42:25,520
>> General MacArthur is giving press

2014
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:27,119
conferences saying that we've tied his

2015
01:42:27,119 --> 01:42:29,440
hands, that he could win if we would

2016
01:42:29,440 --> 01:42:30,480
only let him.

2017
01:42:30,480 --> 01:42:33,679
>> He is out of line.

2018
01:42:33,679 --> 01:42:36,320
We should think about replacing him.

2019
01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:38,480
>> I don't think men running for their

2020
01:42:38,480 --> 01:42:40,080
lives

2021
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:41,760
will be encouraged by firing their

2022
01:42:41,760 --> 01:42:43,280
commander now in the middle of the

2023
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:46,280
battle.

2024
01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:49,440
Give him all the help you can.

2025
01:42:49,440 --> 01:42:52,159
>> Judge Advocate General who gave out the

2026
01:42:52,159 --> 01:42:54,719
story must be telling the truth. It's a

2027
01:42:54,719 --> 01:42:56,239
disturbing thing. I think we should

2028
01:42:56,239 --> 01:42:57,920
remember that those guilty of the

2029
01:42:57,920 --> 01:43:01,280
atrocities are Aches agrarian reformers.

2030
01:43:01,280 --> 01:43:02,719
This information might endanger

2031
01:43:02,719 --> 01:43:05,040
>> one less nail in your coffin, Charlie.

2032
01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:05,840
>> Thanks.

2033
01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,080
>> Are you singing the Mozart?

2034
01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:10,000
>> Good. Good. What else?

2035
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:11,280
>> And Margaret says, "You better be at

2036
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:12,560
that concert tonight."

2037
01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:14,719
>> I'll be a little late. Got NBC coming

2038
01:43:14,719 --> 01:43:15,360
press room.

2039
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:17,760
>> But I assume that many

2040
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:18,480
sons will now.

2041
01:43:18,480 --> 01:43:19,360
>> Where's Harry going to do something

2042
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:20,880
about that so and so?

2043
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,360
>> Ask Harry.

2044
01:43:23,360 --> 01:43:25,679
>> Don't you be scared.

2045
01:43:25,679 --> 01:43:27,600
>> No. No. You just hit back.

2046
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:29,119
>> Just hang up the phone. Arrest your

2047
01:43:29,119 --> 01:43:30,480
voice. Miss Guinea

2048
01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:31,119
>> Senator,

2049
01:43:31,119 --> 01:43:33,760
>> we might face the Chinese communist man.

2050
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:35,119
>> Now, why we should worry about making

2051
01:43:35,119 --> 01:43:36,239
someone mad

2052
01:43:36,239 --> 01:43:38,320
>> who is blowing the heads of our boys, I

2053
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,320
don't know. One hope which the free half

2054
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:42,560
of the world has is a Staline doesn't

2055
01:43:42,560 --> 01:43:44,400
turn that damn thing off in the United

2056
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,239
States. He said why he doesn't even

2057
01:43:46,239 --> 01:43:49,480
trust Dean.

2058
01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:52,639
>> You don't stop McCarthy now. Be like it

2059
01:43:52,639 --> 01:43:55,760
was with Tom Pendergast.

2060
01:43:55,760 --> 01:43:57,520
>> What's that drunken liar got to do with

2061
01:43:57,520 --> 01:43:59,840
Tom? Nobody could make a move without

2062
01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:01,840
asking, "What'll Tom think?" The day is

2063
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:02,960
coming when you won't be able to spit

2064
01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:04,639
without somebody saying, "What about Joe

2065
01:44:04,639 --> 01:44:06,560
McCarthy? What'll Senator McCarthy

2066
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:08,560
think?" Well, nobody with a lick of

2067
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:10,400
common sense believe a word he says.

2068
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:11,840
>> Common sense got blown to hell when you

2069
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,239
dropped that bomb.

2070
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:35,800
Harry,

2071
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,760
I'm late.

2072
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:47,639
Save me a seat at the concert.

2073
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:53,040
>> Hurry it up, will you? I'm going to miss

2074
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:54,480
the whole concert. I think we're ready

2075
01:44:54,480 --> 01:44:57,960
now, Mr. Ross.

2076
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:08,000
>> Nice and slow. Okay, don't mumble.

2077
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:12,360
I always speak very distinctly.

2078
01:45:13,617 --> 01:45:15,637
[laughter]

2079
01:45:51,440 --> 01:45:54,840
Charlie Ross,

2080
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:00,440
friend of my youth,

2081
01:46:00,639 --> 01:46:04,159
who became a tower of strength when the

2082
01:46:04,159 --> 01:46:06,320
responsibilities of high office so

2083
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:09,679
unexpectedly fell to

2084
01:46:11,679 --> 01:46:15,000
is gone.

2085
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:20,480
Honesty and nobility of intent

2086
01:46:20,480 --> 01:46:26,000
ordered his life from boyhood on.

2087
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:29,639
He saw that.

2088
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,960
He

2089
01:46:39,280 --> 01:46:44,840
help I I can't read this.

2090
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:50,760
You fellas know how I feel. Anyway,

2091
01:47:17,679 --> 01:47:19,920
Margaret Truman, soprano, sang in

2092
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,639
Constitution Hall last night. She is

2093
01:47:22,639 --> 01:47:24,719
extremely attractive on stage, yet Miss

2094
01:47:24,719 --> 01:47:27,040
Truman cannot sing very well. She is

2095
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:29,440
flat a good deal of the time, more last

2096
01:47:29,440 --> 01:47:31,119
night than at any time we have heard her

2097
01:47:31,119 --> 01:47:33,679
in past years. There are a few moments

2098
01:47:33,679 --> 01:47:36,000
in the recital when one can relax and

2099
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:37,679
feel confident that she'll make her

2100
01:47:37,679 --> 01:47:42,119
goal, which is the end of the song.

2101
01:47:43,440 --> 01:47:46,480
Dear sir,

2102
01:47:46,480 --> 01:47:49,280
I just read your lousy review of

2103
01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:52,400
Margaret's concert.

2104
01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:55,040
You sound like a frustrated old man. An

2105
01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,440
eight ulcer man on a four ulcer job and

2106
01:47:57,440 --> 01:48:00,400
all four ulcers working. [laughter]

2107
01:48:00,400 --> 01:48:04,080
>> I'm taking away his stamps.

2108
01:48:04,080 --> 01:48:05,920
Charlie would have never have let this

2109
01:48:05,920 --> 01:48:08,000
happen. If I ever meet you, you'll need

2110
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,159
a new nose, a lot of beef steak for

2111
01:48:10,159 --> 01:48:12,239
black eyes, and perhaps a supporter

2112
01:48:12,239 --> 01:48:13,280
below.

2113
01:48:13,280 --> 01:48:15,199
>> A prominent medical authority told me

2114
01:48:15,199 --> 01:48:17,199
that Truman is afflicted by malignant

2115
01:48:17,199 --> 01:48:18,960
hypertension, bewilderment, and

2116
01:48:18,960 --> 01:48:21,520
confusion. I could see that at Wake

2117
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:23,440
Island when I looked him in the eye.

2118
01:48:23,440 --> 01:48:25,280
>> It's Christmas and our boys are still in

2119
01:48:25,280 --> 01:48:27,520
Korea fighting bitter sub-zero cold, as

2120
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:28,400
well as the Chinese

2121
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,360
>> war today. war in Korea. But the Korean

2122
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:35,199
War is merely a small phase

2123
01:48:35,199 --> 01:48:37,760
of the Great World War with atheistic

2124
01:48:37,760 --> 01:48:40,320
communism. Why has this administration

2125
01:48:40,320 --> 01:48:42,800
deliberately built up Russia? It was

2126
01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:45,360
because of a combination,

2127
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:48,239
a combination of abysmal stupidity and

2128
01:48:48,239 --> 01:48:49,199
treason.

2129
01:48:49,199 --> 01:48:51,199
>> From his headquarters in Korea, General

2130
01:48:51,199 --> 01:48:53,360
MacArthur issues his own personal

2131
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:56,080
ultimatum to the Chinese Communists.

2132
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:58,800
>> He wants to drop 50 atomic bombs Chinese

2133
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:00,080
cities. has laid down a belt of

2134
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:02,000
radioactive waste along the North Korean

2135
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:02,480
border.

2136
01:49:02,480 --> 01:49:04,080
>> The man has gone mad.

2137
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:05,360
>> He should be relieved.

2138
01:49:05,360 --> 01:49:06,560
>> I agree.

2139
01:49:06,560 --> 01:49:08,400
>> Yeah, maybe. But he doesn't have an

2140
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:10,800
atomic bomb, does he? I believe I still

2141
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:12,880
have those in my control. Just order him

2142
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:14,080
to keep his mouth shut.

2143
01:49:14,080 --> 01:49:17,199
>> Someone must take a stand. I personally

2144
01:49:17,199 --> 01:49:19,679
am ready to meet with the red Chinese at

2145
01:49:19,679 --> 01:49:22,320
any time. The choice is theirs.

2146
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:25,920
Surrender or face extinction.

2147
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,360
>> Does he think he's the president?

2148
01:49:29,360 --> 01:49:32,480
He has crossed the line. I warned him.

2149
01:49:32,480 --> 01:49:34,080
If he wants to show contempt for Harry

2150
01:49:34,080 --> 01:49:35,600
Truman, he'll have plenty of company,

2151
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:37,440
but he will not show contempt for the

2152
01:49:37,440 --> 01:49:38,800
president of the United States.

2153
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:42,000
>> Let me do it, sir. I'll force him to

2154
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:42,480
resign.

2155
01:49:42,480 --> 01:49:44,320
>> No, he's not going to be allowed to

2156
01:49:44,320 --> 01:49:47,280
quit. This is more than just a general

2157
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:49,119
falling in love with his press releases.

2158
01:49:49,119 --> 01:49:51,520
This is a matter of who's the boss, the

2159
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:56,239
military or the people.

2160
01:49:56,239 --> 01:49:57,600
telephone.

2161
01:49:57,600 --> 01:49:58,719
>> Good evening, Mr. President.

2162
01:49:58,719 --> 01:49:59,360
>> Evening.

2163
01:49:59,360 --> 01:50:01,040
>> Senator McCarthy has called for an

2164
01:50:01,040 --> 01:50:03,440
emergency meeting of Congress,

2165
01:50:03,440 --> 01:50:05,600
>> and Senate Republicans invited General

2166
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:07,600
MacArthur to address a joint session of

2167
01:50:07,600 --> 01:50:08,159
Congress.

2168
01:50:08,159 --> 01:50:10,159
>> What right has your husband to fire the

2169
01:50:10,159 --> 01:50:11,760
greatest general this country's ever

2170
01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:13,760
had?

2171
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:15,600
>> He is president of the United States.

2172
01:50:15,600 --> 01:50:16,800
Mother,

2173
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:19,840
>> and if he wants to fire a general,

2174
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:21,760
>> he will.

2175
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:23,600
>> In California,

2176
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:27,600
>> General Primadana brass hat.

2177
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:29,920
>> General MacArthur returns to a hero's

2178
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:32,080
welcome. While Truman, Aterson, and

2179
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:34,320
Marshall suffer a firestorm of criticism

2180
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:37,199
in the Senate led by Senator McCarthy.

2181
01:50:37,199 --> 01:50:39,280
>> Mr. Truman says there's nothing wrong.

2182
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:41,360
He said, "Oh, everything is just fine."

2183
01:50:41,360 --> 01:50:43,119
Truman actually said, he said, "If

2184
01:50:43,119 --> 01:50:44,480
anyone hears of anything wrong," he

2185
01:50:44,480 --> 01:50:46,560
said, "get the telephone." He said,

2186
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:47,679
"Call me. Collect."

2187
01:50:47,679 --> 01:50:49,199
>> We do not know where we're going in

2188
01:50:49,199 --> 01:50:51,440
Korea. We do not know where we're going

2189
01:50:51,440 --> 01:50:54,480
in China. The Arthur knows and he's been

2190
01:50:54,480 --> 01:50:56,159
fired. Tragic mistake

2191
01:50:56,159 --> 01:50:57,840
>> that the American people cannot fire

2192
01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,000
President Truman. Let Mr. Aerson and Mr.

2193
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:02,800
Truman go and retain the services of our

2194
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:04,400
fine General MacArthur.

2195
01:51:04,400 --> 01:51:06,639
>> Answer your telephone, Mr. Truman.

2196
01:51:06,639 --> 01:51:09,119
Answer your telephone.

2197
01:51:09,119 --> 01:51:11,199
>> McCarthy's bullying, his lies, his

2198
01:51:11,199 --> 01:51:13,119
slandering of innocent men is making it

2199
01:51:13,119 --> 01:51:16,800
impossible to govern.

2200
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:20,400
Now, I've asked everyone to

2201
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:21,760
So, the attorney general has talked to

2202
01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,719
Hoover.

2203
01:51:24,719 --> 01:51:27,920
>> His FBI file, names, dates, phone

2204
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:31,199
records, hotel rooms, drinking habits,

2205
01:51:31,199 --> 01:51:33,920
every piece of tail. There's a letter in

2206
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:35,679
here from a young soldier the senator

2207
01:51:35,679 --> 01:51:37,520
picked up in a men's room.

2208
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:40,239
>> The president doesn't want to hear this.

2209
01:51:40,239 --> 01:51:41,280
>> You don't have to know anything about

2210
01:51:41,280 --> 01:51:43,840
it. We'll just hand it off to some uh

2211
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:45,440
report.

2212
01:51:45,440 --> 01:51:48,239
You should have complete deniability.

2213
01:51:48,239 --> 01:51:49,440
>> What the hell kind of word is

2214
01:51:49,440 --> 01:51:51,840
deniability?

2215
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,880
I'm just the man holding this office.

2216
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,880
If I dirty it, the dirt doesn't leave

2217
01:51:56,880 --> 01:51:59,119
with me. When I go, it stays here to rub

2218
01:51:59,119 --> 01:52:00,960
off on whoever comes after me from now

2219
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,960
on.

2220
01:52:05,360 --> 01:52:07,920
I don't know, sir.

2221
01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,719
It's a new world with new rules.

2222
01:52:10,719 --> 01:52:13,920
I don't know if the old ways work.

2223
01:52:13,920 --> 01:52:16,560
We believed in the truth.

2224
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,880
>> Well, Dean, sooner or later, the truth

2225
01:52:18,880 --> 01:52:20,800
will take care of McCarthy.

2226
01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:23,119
>> It's real high minded, Mr. President.

2227
01:52:23,119 --> 01:52:25,119
Fact is, he's tearing the Senate all to

2228
01:52:25,119 --> 01:52:27,040
hell.

2229
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:29,840
You protect your office. That's all

2230
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:31,599
fine.

2231
01:52:31,599 --> 01:52:32,960
But who's going to protect the Congress?

2232
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:34,800
Who is going to protect the country?

2233
01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:36,320
This is not going to stop by itself.

2234
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:39,760
This man will go on and on and on

2235
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:41,440
until you make the hard choice.

2236
01:52:41,440 --> 01:52:43,360
>> I made it, Clark.

2237
01:52:43,360 --> 01:52:47,000
Can you live with it?

2238
01:52:47,119 --> 01:52:51,199
>> We'll all have to, Mr. President.

2239
01:52:51,199 --> 01:52:54,560
>> Including you.

2240
01:52:54,560 --> 01:52:58,040
Especially you.

2241
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:03,800
>> This meeting is over, gentlemen.

2242
01:53:05,119 --> 01:53:06,800
Mr. President,

2243
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:08,560
>> goodbye, Mr. President.

2244
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:12,800
>> President. Thank you, Mr. President.

2245
01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:14,560
Now Harry, I remember a long time ago

2246
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,000
you built some good roads for some

2247
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:18,159
people by letting Tom Pendergas boys

2248
01:53:18,159 --> 01:53:20,239
steal.

2249
01:53:20,239 --> 01:53:21,679
Harry, why don't you let me take these

2250
01:53:21,679 --> 01:53:22,159
files?

2251
01:53:22,159 --> 01:53:22,880
>> Right.

2252
01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:26,239
>> You forget who you're talking to.

2253
01:53:26,239 --> 01:53:28,800
I'm sorry,

2254
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,199
Mr. President.

2255
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:39,159
Well, [ __ ]

2256
01:53:49,520 --> 01:53:51,520
Mr. President,

2257
01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:54,960
may I uh Dean,

2258
01:53:54,960 --> 01:53:57,360
sir,

2259
01:53:57,360 --> 01:54:00,560
I am McCarthy's main target. Because I

2260
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:02,320
would not turn my back on my friend

2261
01:54:02,320 --> 01:54:05,599
Alger. I think I ought to resign for

2262
01:54:05,599 --> 01:54:07,040
your sake and for the good of the

2263
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:09,040
administration because you were loyal to

2264
01:54:09,040 --> 01:54:12,280
a friend.

2265
01:54:12,320 --> 01:54:16,880
>> No, sir. You stay by me and I will stay

2266
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:20,199
by you.

2267
01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:41,679
Dear Bess,

2268
01:54:41,679 --> 01:54:43,840
I will not be a candidate for reelection

2269
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:46,159
in 1952.

2270
01:54:46,159 --> 01:54:48,960
I could I've only had one term in my own

2271
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:50,639
right,

2272
01:54:50,639 --> 01:54:53,040
but I've been in this whited sephiler of

2273
01:54:53,040 --> 01:54:56,159
man's hopes for eight years, more than

2274
01:54:56,159 --> 01:54:58,539
any man deserves or should endure.

2275
01:54:58,539 --> 01:55:00,239
[music] including the great Franklin

2276
01:55:00,239 --> 01:55:02,080
Roosevelt.

2277
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,280
When this term is over, I am coming home

2278
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:07,360
for good.

2279
01:55:07,360 --> 01:55:11,280
This time you can believe me.

2280
01:55:11,280 --> 01:55:13,840
We have all had enough, I believe, of

2281
01:55:13,840 --> 01:55:15,679
those whose thinking is still haunted by

2282
01:55:15,679 --> 01:55:18,000
past illusions. Those who are prisoners

2283
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:19,760
of their own fuzzy thinking and their

2284
01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:20,320
own

2285
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:23,119
>> I have to explain and I'm not a traitor.

2286
01:55:23,119 --> 01:55:24,800
>> What did this hardly seems worth the

2287
01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:26,159
effort?

2288
01:55:26,159 --> 01:55:29,280
It meant contamination in some degree of

2289
01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,280
virtually every department, every

2290
01:55:31,280 --> 01:55:34,000
agency, every bureau, every section of

2291
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,800
our government. It meant a government by

2292
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:39,679
men whose very brains were confused by

2293
01:55:39,679 --> 01:55:42,719
the opiates of this deceased.

2294
01:55:42,719 --> 01:55:46,239
>> It's January 19th, 1953,

2295
01:55:46,239 --> 01:55:49,440
8:32 Eastern Standard Time. The

2296
01:55:49,440 --> 01:55:52,880
president's farewell address.

2297
01:55:52,880 --> 01:55:55,440
Next Tuesday, General Eisenhower will be

2298
01:55:55,440 --> 01:55:57,440
inaugurated as President of the United

2299
01:55:57,440 --> 01:56:00,320
States. I will be on a train going home

2300
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:02,400
to Independence, Missouri to become a

2301
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,679
plain citizen. Inauguration Day will be

2302
01:56:05,679 --> 01:56:07,840
a great demonstration of the democratic

2303
01:56:07,840 --> 01:56:10,480
process. I'm glad to be part of the

2304
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:13,040
peaceful transfer of the vast power of

2305
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:16,000
the presidency from my hands to his.

2306
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:18,400
There is no job like it on the face of

2307
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:20,880
the earth. And I want you all to realize

2308
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:23,840
how hard it is and to give Ike all the

2309
01:56:23,840 --> 01:56:27,119
help he will need. The Cold War and the

2310
01:56:27,119 --> 01:56:30,080
hot war in Korea will be great tests of

2311
01:56:30,080 --> 01:56:32,000
his strength.

2312
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,639
How will the Cold War end?

2313
01:56:34,639 --> 01:56:38,639
It will end someday because of the great

2314
01:56:38,639 --> 01:56:41,360
weakness of the communist system. I have

2315
01:56:41,360 --> 01:56:43,599
not a doubt in the world that a great

2316
01:56:43,599 --> 01:56:47,280
change will occur. I have a deep and

2317
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,480
abiding faith in the destiny of free

2318
01:56:50,480 --> 01:56:55,040
men. With patience and courage, we shall

2319
01:56:55,040 --> 01:57:00,080
someday move on into a new era.

2320
01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:03,199
When Franklin Roosevelt died, I thought

2321
01:57:03,199 --> 01:57:04,960
there must be a million men better

2322
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:06,639
qualified than I to take up the

2323
01:57:06,639 --> 01:57:09,679
presidential task. But the work was mine

2324
01:57:09,679 --> 01:57:13,760
to do, and I had to do it. I did

2325
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:16,080
everything within my power and always I

2326
01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:19,920
knew I was not alone. You were working

2327
01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:24,159
with me. And now the time has come for

2328
01:57:24,159 --> 01:57:26,880
me to say good night.

2329
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:30,920
And God bless you all.

2330
01:57:40,719 --> 01:57:43,719
Excuse

2331
01:57:47,599 --> 01:57:49,440
me.

2332
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:51,280
President-elect and Mrs. Eisenhower are

2333
01:57:51,280 --> 01:57:54,239
in the car. If you'll follow me, please.

2334
01:57:54,239 --> 01:57:56,239
>> But they've been invited in for coffee

2335
01:57:56,239 --> 01:57:59,719
before the ceremony.

2336
01:58:00,639 --> 01:58:03,599
>> Ma'am, the uh the president-elect does

2337
01:58:03,599 --> 01:58:05,440
not want to enter the White House until

2338
01:58:05,440 --> 01:58:06,639
he is president.

2339
01:58:06,639 --> 01:58:07,760
>> You'll follow me, please?

2340
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:10,639
>> Yeah. Wait a minute there. Don't they

2341
01:58:10,639 --> 01:58:13,599
know that this is the tradition?

2342
01:58:13,599 --> 01:58:15,040
>> Don't get on your high horse, Harry.

2343
01:58:15,040 --> 01:58:16,800
Take it easy.

2344
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:18,800
>> Please, if you'll come with me.

2345
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:20,800
>> Mrs. Truman has laid out a special

2346
01:58:20,800 --> 01:58:21,520
spread here.

2347
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:22,960
>> Oh, it doesn't matter, Harry.

2348
01:58:22,960 --> 01:58:25,760
>> Well, it does to me.

2349
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:27,199
I don't give a damn if he doesn't want

2350
01:58:27,199 --> 01:58:28,880
to sit down with me. But to insult the

2351
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:30,000
first lady this way,

2352
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:33,280
>> let it go, Harry.

2353
01:58:34,639 --> 01:58:36,880
Eisenhower didn't defend Marshall

2354
01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,280
against McCarthy and he knows he did

2355
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:41,040
wrong

2356
01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:42,960
to one of the truly great men of this

2357
01:58:42,960 --> 01:58:45,920
century.

2358
01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:47,440
I don't want to ride in a car with him.

2359
01:58:47,440 --> 01:58:49,679
You tell him that. Could you give us a

2360
01:58:49,679 --> 01:58:52,679
minute?

2361
01:58:54,800 --> 01:58:57,040
Can't see your lips

2362
01:58:57,040 --> 01:58:58,719
now. You are not going to do anything

2363
01:58:58,719 --> 01:59:00,400
that keeps us here one more minute

2364
01:59:00,400 --> 01:59:04,360
longer than we have to be

2365
01:59:04,880 --> 01:59:08,280
now. Come on.

2366
01:59:17,760 --> 01:59:20,880
>> What's funny?

2367
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:23,520
for 40 years. Every time I reach for

2368
01:59:23,520 --> 01:59:25,920
this hand,

2369
01:59:25,920 --> 01:59:29,800
it's always been there.

2370
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:55,080
Let's go.

2371
01:59:59,040 --> 02:00:00,560
>> You,

2372
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:03,360
Dwight D. Eisenhower, do solemnly swear

2373
02:00:03,360 --> 02:00:05,920
I, Dwight D. Eisenhower, do solemnly

2374
02:00:05,920 --> 02:00:06,400
swear

2375
02:00:06,400 --> 02:00:09,199
>> that you will faithfully execute the

2376
02:00:09,199 --> 02:00:12,400
office of President of the United

2377
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:15,040
States. that I will faithfully execute

2378
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:16,560
the office of [music] the President of

2379
02:00:16,560 --> 02:00:20,040
the United States.

2380
02:00:24,733 --> 02:00:26,320
[music] While I got the roar of the

2381
02:00:26,320 --> 02:00:28,560
crowd, Harry and Bess went down to Union

2382
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:30,080
Station.

2383
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:31,679
Later, the president was going to have a

2384
02:00:31,679 --> 02:00:33,920
big problem running red lights. He

2385
02:00:33,920 --> 02:00:35,599
didn't have to stop for one for eight

2386
02:00:35,599 --> 02:00:38,400
years, and he got out of the habit.

2387
02:00:38,400 --> 02:00:41,280
They were going back to independence to

2388
02:00:41,280 --> 02:00:43,679
live once again in Grandmother Wallace's

2389
02:00:43,679 --> 02:00:46,480
house.

2390
02:00:46,480 --> 02:00:48,239
No Secret Service protection was

2391
02:00:48,239 --> 02:00:49,760
provided.

2392
02:00:49,760 --> 02:00:53,119
No reporters came.

2393
02:00:53,119 --> 02:00:55,920
His only income was his army pension,

2394
02:00:55,920 --> 02:00:57,840
$112.56

2395
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,080
a month.

2396
02:01:01,599 --> 02:01:03,840
>> When Harry Truman left the White House,

2397
02:01:03,840 --> 02:01:05,760
the polls showed an approval rating of

2398
02:01:05,760 --> 02:01:09,040
only 32%.

2399
02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:32,239
Everything came late to him. A soldier

2400
02:01:32,239 --> 02:01:38,080
at 33, my father at 40, a senator at 50,

2401
02:01:38,080 --> 02:01:42,040
president at 60.

02:01:54,560 --> 02:01:57,560

2414
02:02:49,599 --> 02:02:52,110
>> If we don't make a mistake,

2415
02:02:52,110 --> 02:02:53,119
[applause and cheering]

2416
02:02:53,119 --> 02:02:55,280
what a paradise we could make of this

2417
02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:58,280
world.

2418
02:02:58,659 --> 02:03:00,679
