Some people say I'm crazy.
1:19:03
Southern caricature seeking higher office.
1:19:08
There's a simple way to determine
if I am paranoid.
1:19:11
Ask the two men who profited most
from the assassination...
1:19:14
...former President Johnson
and your new President, Nixon...
1:19:18
...to release the 51 CIA documents
pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.
1:19:23
Or the secret CIA memo...
1:19:25
...on Oswald's activities in Russia that
was destroyed while being photocopied.
1:19:29
These documents are yours.
1:19:32
The people's property. You pay for it.
1:19:35
But as the government sees you
as children...
1:19:37
...who might be too disturbed
to face this reality...
1:19:41
...or because you might lynch
those involved...
1:19:44
...you cannot see these documents
for another 75 years.
1:19:48
I'm in my 40's...
1:19:51
...so I'll have "shuffled off
this mortal coil" by then.
1:19:54
But I'm telling my eight-year-old son
to keep himself physically fit...
1:19:59
...so that one glorious September morning,
in 2038...
1:20:03
...he can go to the National Archives
and learn what the CIA and FBI knew.
1:20:09
They may push it back then.
1:20:12
It may become a generational affair.
Questions passed from parent to child.
1:20:16
But someday, somewhere,
someone may find out the damn truth.
1:20:21
We better.
1:20:24
Or we might just as well build ourselves
another government...
1:20:27
...like the Declaration of Independence
says to, when the old one don't work.
1:20:32
Just a bit farther out West.
1:20:35
An American naturalist wrote:
1:20:37
"A patriot must always be ready
to defend his country...
1:20:41
"...against its government."
1:20:44
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
1:20:47
You have a lot to think about. You've seen
evidence the public hasn't seen.
1:20:52
Going back to when we were children...
1:20:55
...I think most of us in this courtroom...
1:20:58
...thought justice came automatically.
