Thanks, Bill.
:40:18
- Ten seconds to promo.
- Do you know the timing on that first piece?
:40:23
Can we hold all the calls, please?
:40:25
All calls till after the show,
thank you.
:40:27
- You fellas awake down there?
- Okay.
:40:30
What are we, 20?
:40:31
Thirty seconds, Ed.
:40:49
Ten seconds.
:40:54
Five, four...
:40:57
...three, two...
:41:00
And pan camera one.
:41:05
Because a report on Senator McCan'thy
is by definition controversial...
:41:09
... we want to say exactly
what we mean to say...
:41:11
... and request your permission
to read from a script...
:41:14
...whatever remarks
Murrow and Friendly may make.
:41:18
If the senator feels that we have done
violence to his words or pictures...
:41:21
...and desires, so to speak,
to answer himself...
:41:24
...an opportunity will be afforded
him on this program.
:41:27
Our working thesis tonight
is this quotation:
:41:31
"If this fight against Communism
has made a fight...
:41:33
...between America's
two political parties...
:41:35
...the American people know one
of these parties will be destroyed...
:41:39
...and the republic cannot endure
very long as a one-party system."
:41:43
We applaud that statement
and we think Senator McCan'thy ought to.
:41:47
He said it 17 months ago in Milwaukee.
:41:51
The American people realize
that this cannot be made a fight...
:41:54
... between America"s two political parties.
:41:57
If this fight against Communism
is made a fight...
:41:59
... between America"s
two political parties...
