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
1:22:03
Jesus
1:22:11
Kenny
1:22:13
give me a couple minutes
alone with Bobby
1:22:26
Just try this on for size
1:22:29
We get a hold of Walter Lippman
1:22:31
and we leak the idea of pulling
our Jupiter missiles out of Turkey
1:22:36
The Soviets
pull their missiles out of Cuba
1:22:41
We back JFK! K. and K. must talk!
1:22:42
End the arms race, not the human race
1:22:44
Hey, hey, JFK!
Let's not start a war today!
1:22:56
Kenny
1:22:57
Mac
1:22:58
What did you think of
the Lippman column this morning?
