1:28:03
Brutal.
1:28:06
Excuse me, 4.2.
1:28:11
Go ahead.
1:28:12
We've got to face it, politics have
entered a new stage, television.
1:28:16
Instead of long-winded debates,
the people want slogans.
1:28:21
"Time for a change" "The mess in
Washington" "More bang for a buck".
1:28:25
Punch-lines and glamour.
1:28:27
Yes, Mr. Furness, even glamour.
1:28:30
My papers have supported
Worthington Fuller...
1:28:33
from the first day he ran for office,
he's not a grandstander...
1:28:36
a backslapper or a baby-kisser.
1:28:38
Thas exactly what
he's got to become.
1:28:41
The majority in this country
don't see eye to eye with him.
1:28:44
We've got to find 35 million buyers
for the product "Worthington Fuller".
1:28:49
You underestimate the respect...
1:28:51
Respect? Did you ever hear
of anyone buying any product...
1:28:55
beer, hair rinse, tissue,
because they respect it?
1:29:00
You've got to be loved, man.
1:29:04
Loved.
1:29:06
I may be old-fashioned but I think
there is still a distinction...
1:29:10
between politics and, well,
the field you're in.
1:29:14
Bull.
1:29:15
I beg your pardon, sir?
1:29:17
Sorry if I tread on your corns,
but I said "bull".
1:29:20
Politics is people.
1:29:21
- Mr. Rhodes...
- Now, now...
1:29:23
The General asked me to come here.
If you don't want to hear me...
1:29:28
Do go on, Mr. Rhodes.
1:29:29
I'm sorry to make a disturbance,
but...
1:29:31
Senator, I'm a professional.
1:29:34
I look at the image on that screen
same as at a performer on my show.
1:29:39
And I have to say...
1:29:41
you'll never get over
to my audience...
1:29:44
not to the 65 million people...
1:29:47
who welcome me into their
living rooms each week.
1:29:50
And if I wouldn't buy him,
do you realise what that means?
1:29:55
If I wouldn't buy him,
the people of this country...
1:29:58
aren't ready to buy him for that
big job on Pennsylvania Avenue.
