1:20:00
on the sea lanes leading to Cuba
1:20:05
Find out how close
our exercises are coming...
1:20:07
to their anti-ship missiles
1:20:34
Goddammit
1:20:36
How the goddamn hell
could this happen?
1:20:37
I will have Power's head on a platter
1:20:40
Next to LeMay's
1:20:42
Kenny, you hear me
give the order to got o DEFCON 2?
1:20:45
'Cause I remember
giving the order to go to DEFCON 3
1:20:48
but I must be suffering from amnesia
1:20:50
I've just been informed
our nuclear forces are at DEFCON 2
1:20:54
Mr. President
1:20:55
the orders were limited...
1:20:56
to our strategic forces
in the continental United States
1:21:00
General LeMay is correct
1:21:02
Technically
SAC has the statutory authority...
1:21:04
I have the authority!
1:21:07
I am the commander-in-chief
of the United States
1:21:09
and I say when we go to war
1:21:13
We're not at war, sir
Not until DEFCON 1
1:21:21
General
1:21:23
the Joint Chiefs have just signaled
our intent to escalate to the Soviets
1:21:27
You've signaled an escalation
1:21:29
which I had no wish to signal
and which I did not approve
1:21:34
Get out of here, Max
1:21:35
Yes, sir
1:21:45
Rescind the order. Can all the Chiefs
1:21:48
Put Nitze, Gilpatric
and the Undersecretaries in charge
1:21:50
Yes, we can
1:21:50
We can't fire the Chiefs, Bobby
1:21:53
Our invasion talk
would look like a bluff
1:21:56
Or even worse
if there's been an attempted coup
