McCarthy will self-destruct,
Cohn, all of them.
:31:03
You said Corporate
would not interfere with Editorial...
:31:06
...and that the News

we report the news.
:31:09
He's marked as Communists.
:31:12
If he goes too far,
the Senate will investigate him...
:31:14
...and we will report on that.
:31:15
He oversteps people's civil liberties.
:31:18
And you're trying him in the press?
:31:19
Does he get the right
to face his accuser?
:31:21
You've decided on this
and you're presenting it as fact.
:31:24
- What I am doing...
- I write your check.
:31:26
I put you in your country house,
and I put your son through school!
:31:30
You should have told me about this

But Editorial will not jeopardize
the hundreds of employees...
:32:04
...of the CBS.
Do I make myself clear?
:32:08
Yes?
:32:15
Fellas, our next show is gonna be
about Senator McCarthy.
:32:19
And we'regonna go right at him.
:32:21
I don't need to tell you
how careful we have to be.
:32:24
If we are to do this, Ed and I
need you to be straight with us.
:32:27
We need to know,
for the good of the piece...
:32:29
...if any of you have any connection,
if you subscribed to a newsletter...
:32:33
...if you attended a party,
anything...
:32:35
...anything that could compromise this,
anything at all...
:32:38
...because now would be
the time to tell us.
:32:46
Ed, I think I should excuse myself.
:32:49

I wouldn't say she was a Communist...
:32:54
...but she attended meetings.
It was before we were married.
:32:57
I didn't even really know about it
until after the divorce.
