:09:01
- Certainly it is.
- It is a guaranteed right in our constitution.

:09:04
- So is burning the flag. Need I say more?
- You need say more.

:09:08
Or are we to believe that Bob Roberts
wants to see a compliant and silent public

:09:14
which respects the actions of its presidents,
no matter how immoral or illegal?

:09:18
- Are you a communist?
- Excuse me?

:09:20
Self-determination.
:09:22
The choice to be what you want to be.
:09:26
And I wanted to be... rich.
:09:29

[Terry] Roberts graduates from Westmoreland
Military Academy with honours in 1977

:09:40
and is selected as a candidate for a master's
degree in business at Yale University.

:09:44
In 1980, Roberts graduates from Yale and
begins his phenomenal rise on Wall Street.

:09:57
Grandma felt guilty about being so rich
:10:01
And it bothered her until the day she died
:10:06
But I will take my inheritance
:10:10
And invest it with pride, yes, invest it
:10:14
- [crowd joins in]
- With pride

:10:20
You have just said that our chief executives
are immoral criminals.

:10:25
I take offence at that, deeply.
:10:27
I'm an American that believes
intensely in morality

:10:30
and in the sanctity of the office
of the presidency.

:10:33
I trust that the American public does not share
your cynical anti-American views

:10:37
and will cast their votes accordingly,
with pride and conviction.

:10:40
- Thank you, Kelly and Bob...
- I certainly hope not.

:10:43
It means you want Americans to cast
their votes based on hatred and ignorance.

:10:48
You're taking sides, ma'am. You're abusing
your responsibility as a journalist.

:10:52
I am offended by you, sir. If I ignore
my feelings, I'm taking your side.

:10:56
Isn't your job one of objectivity?
:10:58
You're not talking about objectivity.
You're talking about ignorance.
