1:07:00
And there is an awakening.
1:07:03
The enemy was on the ropes
after the Tet offensive was over.
1:07:08
And it's like two boxers
in the ring.
1:07:10
One boxer has the other one
on the ropes,
1:07:12
but the man
who is about to be the victor...
1:07:15
has his second
throw the towel in.
1:07:18
Accordingly,
1:07:22
I shall not seek...
1:07:25
and I will not accept...
1:07:28
the nomination of my party
for another term as your president.
1:07:32
I don't think we helped 'em one bit.
1:07:34
All I think we've done is
destroyed their country, laid it waste.
1:07:37
No. I don't think we helped 'em.
1:07:40
As fellow human beings, I don't think
they should be there doing that.
1:07:44
Certainly a mature person
can say they made a mistake.
1:07:46
Why can't a government?
1:07:48
You let us all go off to war and said,
''Yea, team. Fight in Vietnam,''
1:07:52
and all this kinda shit
in 1965 through 1968.
1:07:55
Now 1968 comes along and ''Boo, team.
Come on home,'' and all this shit.
1:08:00
''And don't say nothin' about it,
'cause we don't want to hear about it...
1:08:03
'cause it's upsetting
around dinnertime.''
1:08:05
Well, Goddamn. It upset me
for a whole goddamn year.
1:08:07
It upset a lot of people to the point
where they're fuckin' dead, you know?
1:08:10
All this shit. You don't wanna
hear about it? I'll tell you every day.
1:08:13
Make you sit out
and puke on your dinner, you dig?
1:08:15
Because you got me over there,
and now you done brought me back here...
1:08:18
and you wanna forget it so somebody else
can go do it somewhere else.
1:08:22
Hell no. Uh-uh.
You gonna hear it all.
1:08:24
Every day as long as you live, because
it's gonna be with me as long as I live.
1:08:28
When I get up in the morning,
when John gets up,
1:08:30
when a lot of dudes sitting here get up,
1:08:32
man, their gut hurts
because they got shot there.
1:08:35
I gotta put on an arm and a leg,
'cause it ain't there no more, you dig?
1:08:38
Now, my man's got a hole in his stomach.
He can't work right, you know?
1:08:41
You do something about that.
Make that all disappear, you dig?
1:08:45
Make it all go away with the 6:00 news.
1:08:47
Turn it off or switch it
to another channel.
1:08:49
Uh-Uh. To hell with that, you dig?
It's here and it's for real.
1:08:53
And it's gonna happen again
unless these folks get off their ass...
1:08:56
and realize it has happened.
1:08:58
