:01:01
You know what you're doing
Mr. President
:01:05
You're gonna make
the best call you can
:01:07
And you know
they're gonna second-guess you
:01:09
So what?
:01:12
We're just gonna have to
take our beatings as we go
:01:21
So what are we gonna do now?
:01:25
I'm going on TV
:01:36
Maybe the American people
will go with me
:01:40
Even if their...
:01:43
elected representatives won't
:01:51
You wear something nice for the TV
:01:54
Make sure Jackie picks it
:02:02
Excuse me
:02:08
Okay, everybody. I think we're ready
:02:14
No. I'm fine
:02:17
Mr. President, in five...
:02:18
four... three... two...
:02:22
Good evening, my fellow citizens
:02:24
This government, as promised
:02:26
has maintained
the closest surveillance
:02:29
of the Soviet military build-up
on the island of Cuba
:02:32
Within the past week
:02:34
unmistakable evidence
has established the fact
:02:36
that a series of
offensive missile sites
:02:40
is now in preparation
on that imprisoned island
:02:43
The purpose of these bases
can be none other than to provide
:02:46
a nuclear strike capability
:02:47
against the Western Hemisphere
:02:51
Acting therefore
in the defense of our own security
:02:54
and under the authority entrusted
to me by the Constitution
:02:57
I have directed that the following
initial steps be taken immediately
