1:32:04
Yes. Andrew,
my understanding is...
1:32:07
that if the president is out of contact
in a military situation...
1:32:11
the secretary of defense
is in charge as second in command.
1:32:14
- Yes, of course.
- Good. Then that settles it.
1:32:17
It doesn't settle it at all.
1:32:20
The president is not merely out
of contact. He is also under duress.
1:32:25
His family is held hostage,
possibly himself a hostage.
1:32:29
It creates an incapacity to discharge
the office under the 25th amendment.
1:32:35
Surely just as if he'd had a stroke.
1:32:38
I think the president would dispute
that any incapacity exists.
1:32:42
It exists if a majority of the cabinet,
including yourself, says it exists.
1:32:48
The president may be alive,
but he may not be the president.
1:32:53
Madam Vice President?
I think you need to see this.
1:32:56
This is CNN breaking news.
1:33:01
We interrupt programming to bring you
this breaking news bulletin.
1:33:06
CNN has received
unconfirmed reports...
1:33:10
that "Air Force One" has crashed.
1:33:13
- Oh, my God! How did they get that?
- I don't know.
1:33:16
The aircraft was en route from Moscow
when it began its Mayday hail.
1:33:20
I repeat.
We have unconfirmed reports...
1:33:23
Call the press room.
We have to issue a statement.
1:33:25
that the president's plane
has crashed in Eastern Europe.
