Mrs. McGee. There she is. Let me ask her.
1:16:07
Why can't we talk to you
if you're the spokesperson?
1:16:09
You can. I'll come outside and talk,
but not inside.
1:16:12
I've asked you to leave.
1:16:13
- We'll go, if you come and talk.
- I don't think I'll talk to you.
1:16:17
You're the spokesperson,
and you won't speak to us.
1:16:20
That's correct.
You don't represent anybody.
1:16:22
You're a private interest,
and I won't speak to you.
1:16:26
We happen to be citizens
of this community.
1:16:29
That's not a private interest.
1:16:31
We're all citizens of the community.
1:16:34
On the sidewalk, please.
1:16:41
The 1,800 hourly workers at this operation
were sent home with flowers today.
1:16:44
Even union leaders
offered them bleak advice.
1:16:47
One worker told me, "You know when
they send you flowers? When you die. "
1:16:51
So, not a very merry Christmas.
1:16:53
In fact, as one man
walked out of the plant...
1:16:56
he told me, ''I want to wish Roger Smith
a merry Christmas.''
1:17:06
It was now Christmas Eve in Flint.
1:17:09
After three years of trying to bring
Roger here, I was ready to give up.
1:17:13
Deputy Fred had three evictions
scheduled for this day.
1:17:16
At the same time, in Detroit...
1:17:18
Roger Smith was beaming
his Christmas message...
1:17:21
to every GM factory throughout the world.
1:17:28
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
1:17:30
I'd like to welcome you to our traditional
General Motors Christmas program.
