:52:01
I have directed the Armed Forces
to prepare for any eventualities
:52:05
And third
:52:06
It shall be the policy of this nation
:52:09
to regard any nuclear missile
launched from Cuba
:52:11
against any nation in the
Western Hemisphere as an attack
:52:16
by the Soviet Union
on the United States
:52:18
requiring a full retaliatory response
upon the Soviet Union
:52:31
Good speech, Teddy
:52:33
I guess I get to keep my job
:52:38
No
:52:39
It was a really good speech
:52:41
I can't imagine what you did
with the air strikes version
:52:49
I wasn't able to write, Kenny
:52:53
It's kind of hard
to write the unthinkable

We're getting the Soviet response
:53:10
It's coming in on the teletype
:53:13
"The community of nations recognizes"
:53:15
"the fundamental right
of freedom of the seas... "
:53:17
THis is horseshit
:53:20
I agree
:53:28
They don't know how to respond yet
:53:31
So now you're Kruschev
:53:34
What do you do?
:53:40
You run the blockade
:53:43
They'll run the blockade
:53:44
Which is what they appear to
be preparing to do, Mr. President
:53:48
We're tracking 26 ships
inbound for Cuba
:53:51
They show no sign of changing course
:53:53
The closest ships
the Gagarin and the Kimovsk
:53:56
will make the quarantine line
by this time tomorrow
:53:59
Admiral Anderson
if the ships do not stop
