1:23:00
It's a bad idea
1:23:01
Thank God. Look
everybody's furious about it
1:23:03
We trade away our missiles in Turkey
and we are dead politically
1:23:05
You've gotta stop it
1:23:07
We know it was Jack and Bobby's idea
1:23:08
They leaked it to Lippman
1:23:09
The military guys are going ape
and they're not alone
1:23:11
They should speak up
1:23:13
Christ, Ken, it's not that easy
1:23:14
It is
1:23:15
It isn't. They don't trust
the people that feel this way
1:23:17
But these people are right
and the Kennedys are wrong
1:23:19
We need you to talk to them
They'll listen to you
1:23:21
Jack and Bobby are good men
But it takes a certain kind of...
1:23:23
You mean the President
of the United States?
1:23:25
And the Attorney General?
1:23:27
Kenny, they are good men
but it takes certain character
1:23:28
moral toughness
to stand up to the Soviets
1:23:32
You're in the White House right now
because of the Kennedys
1:23:35
They may be wrong. They make mistakes
1:23:38
But they are not weak
1:23:40
The weak ones are these people
who can't speak their own minds
1:23:42
You know I don't mean
that they're weak
1:23:44
No, you just lack a "moral toughness"
1:23:46
Jesus Christ, Mac!
1:23:49
You think I'll play your Judas for you
1:23:53
You never understood us, for you
1:23:55
We've been fighting with each other
our whole lives
1:23:57
But nobody plays us off each other
1:23:59
and nobody ever
1:24:01
ever gets between us
1:24:03
It's trial balloon, Kenny
1:24:05
Then somebody better publicly deny it
1:24:08
because there's only one way
the world is gonna read this
1:24:11
We sell out one of our own friends
for own safety
1:24:15
Fuck!
1:24:17
Exactly
1:24:20
Jesus Christ. They're killing us
1:24:23
... and enter into negotiations...
1:24:27
in order to normalize
this confrontation
1:24:29
and avert the threat of a world war
1:24:31
What is that Sun Tzu says?
1:24:35
"War is a moral contest
1:24:37
and they're won in the temples
before they're ever fought. "
1:24:40
This enormous danger for all mankind...
1:24:43
which exists at this moment...
1:24:46
It's right here
1:24:48
This is where we turn it around
1:24:49
You all Adlai. You tell him
to stick it to this son of a bitch!
1:24:57
The U. S. believes that
with their economic boycott
