...not from men who feared to write,
to associate, to speak...

:43:03
...and to defend the causes
that were for the moment unpopular.

:43:07
This is no time for men who oppose
Senator McCarthy's methods...

:43:11
...to keep silent,
or for those who approve.

:43:14
Wec an deny our heritage
and our history...

:43:16
...but we cannot escape
responsibility for the results.

:43:19
We proclaim ourselves,
indeed as we are...

:43:22
...the defenders of freedom wherever
it continues to exist in the world...

:43:26
...but we cannot defend freedom abroad
by deserting it at home.

:43:30
The actions of the junior Senator
from Wisconsin...

:43:32
...have caused alarm and dismay
amongst our allies abroad...

:43:35
...and given considerable comfort
to our enemies.

:43:38
And whose fault is that?
Not really his.

:43:41
He didn't create
this situation of fear...

:43:44
...he merely exploited it,
and rather successfully.

:43:48
Cassius was right.
:43:50
"The fault, dear Brutus, is not
in our stars, but in ourselves."

:43:55
Good night, and good luck.
:44:04
And we're out.
:44:19
Nothing?
:44:23
Maybe nobody watched.
:44:29
- We got nothing.
- I don't know. - Nothing.

:44:32
Should I turn the phones back on,
Mr. Williams?

:44:36
Yes. Now would be
a good time for that.

:44:39
Turn the phones on!
Turn the pho...

:44:41
Mr. Friendly wants the phones on.
:44:43
It's the Junior Senator
calling collect.

:44:45
Don't kid yourself. It's Reed Harris
thanking us for mentioning him.

:44:48
I don't know whether all of you
have seen what I just saw...

:44:51
...but I want to associate myself
and this program...

:44:54
...with what Ed Murrow
has just said...

:44:55
...and say I have never been
prouder of CBS.
