:56:00
I'm... leaving.
:56:02
[Paiste] Offhand, I would not say that being
a professional singer is the best background
:56:07
for a legislator of the United States.
:56:10
I believe in Mr Bob Roberts' background,
:56:14
if it is true that he has had
some experience with the CIA,
:56:19
then he comes better prepared
than most people do to the Senate
:56:23
with a knowledge of what the real government
of the United States is,
:56:27
which is the National Security Council.
:56:29
It was created in 1950 by Harry Truman
:56:33
and the country is governed
by the National Security Council,
:56:36
which is the Defense Department, the CIA,
:56:39
in combination with the great makers
of weapons around the country.
:56:44
So he's already had some initiation
into true power.
:56:48
In the beginning, our great company
provided appliances.
:56:51
We heated your home, refrigerated your food,
improved the quality of your life.
:56:56
We prospered and grew into a multinational
corporation. We own this very network.
:57:01
- Don't Vote and a new song.
- Brand-new.
:57:04
Don't Smoke, that's what we agreed on.
Yeah, and Prevailing Tides. Michael?
:57:09
Our chief source of income, however,
is the arms industry.
:57:13
Yes, we rely heavily
on those fat government contracts
:57:18
to make these useless weapons
of mass destruction.
:57:21
Even though we have been convicted
for fraud several times,
:57:25
you don't hear too much about our bad side
because, well, we own our own news division.
:57:30
- Bob doesn't care what we agreed on.
- Really?
:57:33
He feels very strongly about the new material.
:57:37
He feels it should be said right now
and will not back down.
:57:40
Chances are slim that you'll hear
of our environmental mishaps
:57:44
or the way we bust those unions.
:57:47
We even have a highly rated show
:57:49
that the public buys as entertainment
with a leftist slant.
:57:53
I'm sorry, but we have a policy that no new
material is performed until it's proven to work.
:57:58
This is live television. This is not a party.
