:52:01
Splendid! Splendid. I'll join you
when I get freshened up a bit.
:52:05
My guest, Senator Fuller, I'd like
to see him in the White House.
:52:09
Don't they call him
the last of the Isolationists?
:52:11
Maybe, in some of those
left-wing papers.
:52:14
Rhodes, I want you to get to know
people like that.
:52:16
I'd like to take you under my wing
and educate you.
:52:20
Shucks, general,
I'm just a country boy.
:52:24
Young man, never forget
Will Rogers.
:52:26
He was just a gum chewing
rope twirling cowboy...
:52:30
but he got to where he was
telling off presidents and kings.
:52:33
General, my thinking is the second
section of the same train.
:52:38
I've always gone in for
long range planning.
:52:41
Right now, Lonesome
is merely popular, very popular...
:52:45
but Lonesome Rhodes could be
made into an influence.
:52:48
A wielder of opinion,
an institution...
:52:51
positively sacred to his country,
like the Washington monument.
:52:55
I suspect your idealistic young lady
disagrees with me...
:52:59
but my study of history
has convinced me...
:53:02
that in every strong society
from the Egyptians on...
:53:05
the mass had to be guided
with a strong hand...
:53:09
by a responsible elite.
:53:11
Let us not forget that in TV
we have the greatest instrument...
:53:15
for mass persuasion
in the history of the world.
:53:18
I don't mean
to flatter you, sir...
:53:19
What? Oh, yes. Well, les
have a go at it, shall we?
:53:23
Roger, Roger!
:53:26
Are you jotting this down?
:53:29
First, I'll see if I can sell Henry
on the idea of a "Life" cover.
:53:34
Remind me to call him for lunch.
:53:51
I proudly dedicate to you...
:53:54
the latest hybrid iris
of our horticultural laboratory.
:53:59
The "Unusfloratorum"...
