instead of to the country and the
Constitution we're sworn to defend!

1:51:09
I ought to kick his insubordinate
ass right in the Sea of Japan.

1:51:12
The lousiest trick he's pulled. I travel 14,000
miles to reach an understanding face-to-face,

1:51:16
and he still thinks he can do what he damn
well pleases. Can you imagine?

1:51:19
He actually sent a message to the Chinese
threatening to destroy their forces...

1:51:24
unless they were to negotiate
a solution with him personally.

1:51:27
You know,
there's a story...

1:51:29
where Abe Lincoln was trying to
mount a horse that was skittish,

1:51:32
and the horse kicked a
hind hoof into the stirrup.

1:51:35
So Lincoln says to him, "If you're
gonna get on, I'll get off. "

1:51:38
Well, I'm not
getting off.

1:51:40
I think Roosevelt should have pulled
Wainwright out of Corregidor...

1:51:43
and left that five-star brass hat
MacArthur there to be the martyr.

1:51:45
What shall I do with
the cease-fire proposal?

1:51:48
Scrap it. I can't approach the Chinese
on any political basis, not after this.

1:51:52
That man's trying to start World War
III, and I'm trying to prevent it.

1:51:55
I'm gonna fire that brass hat prima donna
right now. Who does he think he is? God?

1:51:59
What do you think Congress would
do if I relieve the big general?

1:52:02
Congress would
flay you alive.

1:52:04
Fortunately for me, the Navy
outfielder's throw was also wild,

1:52:07
over the third baseman's head,
and with those two wild throws,

1:52:11
I was able to dash around
the bases into home...

1:52:14
with what turned out to be
the winning run.

1:52:17
Excuse me. And... And
the final score was...

1:52:21
West Point 4, Annapolis 3.
1:52:24
I think that the loudest cheers
were led by my mother.

1:52:28
She was always there.
1:52:32
They used to say about us that we were
the first... the only mother and son...

1:52:36
ever to graduate from
West Point on the same day.

1:52:42
That was in Annapolis
in the spring of...

1:52:59
Well, Jeannie...
