Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,355
Cobra Two, Cobra One. It's showtime.
2
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,671
West quadrant secure.
Whitey Two moving in east quadrant.
3
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,599
Here we go.
4
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,877
Some people will work
5
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,915
Some simply will die
6
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,837
But they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain
7
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,997
Some people must have
8
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,990
Some never will...
9
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,630
- Bob Roberts is a stalwart American.
- Bob's a champion swordsman.
10
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,519
- A tireless worker.
- Bob's a man of vision.
11
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,752
- Dynamic personality.
- He's a unique individual.
12
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,037
- Bob is prime-cut, Grade A.
- He's a genius.
13
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,431
- He's a man of the people.
- I love Bob Roberts.
14
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,229
- He's a mover and a shaker.
- {woman] The leader of a generation.
15
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,837
A young man with a guitar starts
singing, right in the middle of the restaurant.
16
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,639
This is happening in Brophy's.
17
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,873
He not only had a brilliant mind
and wonderful wit, but could also sing.
18
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,909
He finishes the song, tremendous applause,
then out the door, he's gone.
19
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,356
I look at Mr Hart and I say, "What was that?"
20
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,548
And he says in his own inimitable way,
"That, my friend, was a gold-mine. "
21
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,915
- And then?
- And then it happened.
22
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,119
- He became a star overnight.
- That is correct.
23
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,558
He has a tremendous talent.
An artist in the true sense of the word.
24
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,154
And the next senator from Pennsylvania.
25
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,550
Seize the day!
26
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,631
... I spend all my time drunk in a bar
27
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,078
I want to be rich, I don't have a brain
So give me a handout while I complain
28
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,754
Bob Roberts, fencing enthusiast,
29
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,992
poet, folk singer, businessman,
30
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,912
senatorial candidate.
31
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,039
This controversial
yet extraordinarily popular entertainer
32
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,509
appeared on the music scene three years ago
33
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,911
with his debut album
The Freewheelin' Bob Roberts.
34
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Despite being assailed by the music critics
35
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,793
as a corrupt, unfair diatribe against the '60s,
36
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,909
the album remarkably soared to number 23
on the Billboard charts.
37
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,992
Backed by a team of novices,
38
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,119
without the support of a major record label,
relying on word of mouth
39
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,877
and his team of associates who seem
more suited to a town house than a tour bus,
40
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,955
Roberts created a niche in a business
that had contemptuously rejected him.
41
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,750
His second album, Times Are Changin' Back,
peaks at number three, an achievement
42
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:37,711
for a journeyman folk singer that Spin
magazine called "a crypto-fascist clown".
43
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,553
- You have the wrong pass.
- I don't see the problem.
44
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,154
You need to go to the police and get a pass.
45
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,673
On July 4th,
46
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,833
Bob Roberts announced his candidacy
for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania.
47
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,993
This documentary chronicles the man
and his quest for election.
48
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,630
Eight years ago, I had had enough.
49
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,395
I had seen the dreams of a generation
squashed by an evil menace,
50
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,438
an evil menace called drugs.
51
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,876
I made up my mind there and then
to dedicate my life
52
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,875
to seeing that this problem end in our lifetime.
53
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,155
I contacted my friend Lukas Hart
and I enlisted his help.
54
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,876
It is because of Lukas Hart's
diligence and efforts
55
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,350
that eight years ago Broken Dove was born.
56
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,356
Broken Dove is hard at work fighting
the war on drugs but it will take time.
57
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,398
We must start the war early,
ladies and gentleman.
58
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,996
We must start the war
with our children at home
59
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,470
and in our classrooms.
60
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,870
Hey, mister, can I see your gun?
61
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,919
- Can I see your gun?
- What makes you think I have a gun?
62
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,035
Come on over this way.
Get some great shots with the kids.
63
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,316
You got me!
64
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,948
You got me. Good work, kids. I'm dead.
65
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,595
Here's Mrs Roberts. Here's Mrs Roberts. Polly.
66
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,753
Polly and Bob.
Let's take a picture with the kids.
67
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,480
Sit right there on the table.
68
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,479
Bob is a tireless worker.
Unbridled energy.
69
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,552
As his doctor,
I tell him to slow down. He won't.
70
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,918
Without his organisation Broken Dove,
this clinic would not exist.
71
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,355
I want you all to say, "Vote Bob".
72
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,317
Vote Bob!
73
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,076
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, in school today?
74
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:35,473
What did the teacher tell you
in school today, my child?
75
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,031
He said it's a crime to say a little prayer
76
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,672
He said God's no longer wanted here
77
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:50,038
Oh, that's what the silly teacher
told you in school
78
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,273
Robert Roberts Junior was born
on January 3rd, 1955
79
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,874
in St Vincent's Hospital, Philadelphia.
80
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,749
In his early years, Bob lives on a commune
in rural Pennsylvania.
81
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,070
It was an idealistic attempt.
82
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,118
This was the late '50s, pre-hippie.
83
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:10,637
We tried to establish a community based
on the idea of collective responsibility.
84
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,598
It's a crazy idea. It was nuts.
85
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,548
It was an unrealistic environment
for a child to grow up in.
86
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,349
We moved to Philadelphia
when Bobby was three.
87
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,389
It'll be cold today. Chilly, chilly as the leaves
of autumn make way for the wind of winter.
88
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,071
Early snow was reported in some mountain
regions but don't dust off the skis yet, folks.
89
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,516
Here in Philly it's a brisk 43.
90
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,036
Now, Kelly Noble interiews
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts.
91
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,398
I must say that I'm not a fan of your music.
I find it offensive.
92
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,189
I wouldn't vote for you
if my life depended on it.
93
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,512
Good morning, Philadelphia.
Our guest today is Bob Roberts,
94
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,478
Pennsylvania senatorial candidate
and folk singer.
95
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,713
Our viewers are curious about where it began.
Where did it start for you?
96
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,154
Where did what start?
97
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,039
Was it a small colonial home
98
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,352
with a mom in a starched dress
and a dad in a seersucker suit?
99
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,795
- You're speaking of my upbringing?
- Yes.
100
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,953
I came to speak about the issues
but I will indulge your personality search.
101
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,759
I was born and raised lower middle-class
102
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,230
right outside the city of brotherly love,
Philadelphia.
103
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,315
My father was a fry cook, my mother
a peacenik. I had no brothers or sisters.
104
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,436
Make your judgements if you must.
105
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,636
He was a model student.
106
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,509
So full of life and energy.
107
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Some of the other kids didn't like him
very much. But I did. Very much.
108
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,794
Increasing restlessness and trouble
with authority figures and classmates
109
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,476
create problems for Bob in high school,
and by his senior year his grades have fallen.
110
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,794
I know what it's like to be without
a home. I was homeless when I was 17.
111
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,873
I didn't ramble, I didn't roam.
No boxcars or park benches.
112
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,235
No panhandling for me.
113
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,234
I went straight to work,
earned enough money on my own
114
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,154
to enrol myself in a school of my choice,
a school I wanted.
115
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,518
That's not quite true.
Bobby enrolled himself in military college
116
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,069
by forging my signature on a cheque of mine.
117
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:18,439
He was happy there. He said
he needed discipline, more structure in his life.
118
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,034
He felt we offered too much freedom.
119
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,078
And do you know what? He was right.
120
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:29,360
I was trying to instil different values in him
than the ones he has now.
121
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,158
Let's just leave it at that.
122
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,233
The '60s are, let's face it,
a dark stain on American history.
123
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,154
At no other time has lawlessness
and immorality been so widespread.
124
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,915
You're speaking of Watergate
and our invasion of Cambodia.
125
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,834
No. No, I'm not. I see. I'm speaking of you,
126
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,595
of lawlessness and immorality
with regard to drug use and sexual practice.
127
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,194
- Excuse me?
- Disregard in the press
128
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,035
for the sacred institutions that have
made this country what it is today.
129
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,034
Is social protest disregard
for our laws and institutions?
130
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,556
- Certainly it is.
- It is a guaranteed right in our constitution.
131
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,349
- So is burning the flag. Need I say more?
- You need say more.
132
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,390
Or are we to believe that Bob Roberts
wants to see a compliant and silent public
133
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,758
which respects the actions of its presidents,
no matter how immoral or illegal?
134
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,478
- Are you a communist?
- Excuse me?
135
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,596
Self-determination.
136
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,957
The choice to be what you want to be.
137
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,317
And I wanted to be... rich.
138
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,237
Roberts graduates from Westmoreland
Military Academy with honours in 1977
139
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,473
and is selected as a candidate for a master's
degree in business at Yale University.
140
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,953
In 1980, Roberts graduates from Yale and
begins his phenomenal rise on Wall Street.
141
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,359
Grandma felt guilty about being so rich
142
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,910
And it bothered her until the day she died
143
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:10,159
But I will take my inheritance
144
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,710
And invest it with pride, yes, invest it
145
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,835
With pride
146
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,430
You have just said that our chief executives
are immoral criminals.
147
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,397
I take offence at that, deeply.
148
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,279
I'm an American that believes
intensely in morality
149
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,113
and in the sanctity of the office
of the presidency.
150
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,478
I trust that the American public does not share
your cynical anti-American views
151
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,712
and will cast their votes accordingly,
with pride and conviction.
152
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,633
- Thank you, Kelly and Bob...
- I certainly hope not.
153
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,749
It means you want Americans to cast
their votes based on hatred and ignorance.
154
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,912
You're taking sides, ma'am. You're abusing
your responsibility as a journalist.
155
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,153
I am offended by you, sir. If I ignore
my feelings, I'm taking your side.
156
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,436
Isn't your job one of objectivity?
157
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,434
You're not talking about objectivity.
You're talking about ignorance.
158
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,160
Is he one of yours?
159
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,677
Hey, brother. Does getting in on the ground
floor mean checking your skin at the door?
160
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,513
- Black people can have another opinion.
- You're still black?
161
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:16,514
I think so. We don't have to adhere
to a militant black party line.
162
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:18,796
Your albums just get better and better.
163
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,112
Wonderful work on the news.
Always watch you.
164
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,352
You're now a member of our campaign team.
165
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,511
Can I get one for my son?
166
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:31,069
- Of course. We'll send you some.
- Take care, Dan.
167
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,233
You're welcome here any time, Bob.
Good luck on the campaign trail.
168
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:38,753
Great.
169
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:45,437
Bob Roberts is from that faction that lives to
destroy whatever good came out of the '60s,
170
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,830
to rewrite the history of that important period,
171
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:53,279
a period where the American people
actually were informed and aware
172
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,908
and realised that they had a voice.
173
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,755
They demanded that a war end.
174
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:04,630
Bob Roberts is Nixon, only he's shrewder.
More complicated, this Bob Roberts.
175
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,396
Here's a man who has adopted the persona
and mind-set of the freethinking rebel
176
00:12:09,560 --> 00:12:12,074
and turned it on itself.
177
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,310
The rebel conserative.
178
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,794
That is deviant brilliance.
179
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,110
What a Machiavellian poseur.
180
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,640
This land
181
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,598
Is my land
182
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,910
This land
183
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,674
Is our land
184
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,308
You gotta proud to be
185
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,710
In the land of the free
186
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,440
This land was made for us
187
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:44,799
This land was made for me
188
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,632
Bob! Bob! Bob!
189
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,429
Mr Roberts, my name is Bugs Raplin.
I'm from Troubled Times Journal.
190
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,831
- I'd like to arrange an interiew.
- Certainly.
191
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,356
- Call our campaign headquarters.
- Yeah, right
192
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,878
Let's fire it up.
193
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,511
Koji, are you there?
194
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,837
Nikkei's up 24,041.45.
195
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,879
- As tensions continue to mount...
- Members of the 101 st Airborne...
196
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,919
- Final step on American soil...
... Operation Desert Shield.
197
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,312
Senator Brickley Paiste was on
the campaign trail yet again yesterday.
198
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,359
He sampled homemade goodies
while visiting the local ladies' auxiliary
199
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,308
and presided over the dedication
of the steam torpedo monument.
200
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,516
I think it highly suitable today,
201
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,673
as war clouds once again
are upon the horizon,
202
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,035
that we dedicate this steam torpedo,
203
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,159
a symbol of the 13 million of us
who fought in World War II.
204
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,231
- Carol?
- Thanks, Chuck.
205
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,755
Senator Paiste's opponent, Bob Roberts,
206
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,435
is creating quite a sensation
in his election tour,
207
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,592
playing to sold-out audiences
from Scranton to Pittsburgh.
208
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,435
He was in town today
paying a visit to the local Menck clinic.
209
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,909
With the story, Rose Pondell. Rose?
210
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,358
This is the Menck Clinic in Scranton,
set up with money raised by Broken Dove,
211
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,592
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts'
private relief organisation.
212
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:33,390
The clinic and Broken Dove honoured
Bob Roberts in a ceremony at the clinic.
213
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,633
Honouring you as patriot of the year.
214
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,433
Bob has a great vision
for the future of our country
215
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,433
and for the future of the children
of our country.
216
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,750
He is the only man to vote for.
217
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,151
He's amazing. He's a poet and a genius.
218
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,676
It's clear to all present here
that drugs are a tough problem
219
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,354
and a tough man is needed to tackle it.
220
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,910
From all indications,
Bob Roberts just might be that man.
221
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:05,234
At the Roberts campaign in Scranton,
this is Rose Pondell, WAPW, Action News.
222
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,836
- Thank you, Rose. Chuck?
- Thank you, Carol.
223
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,993
Polls show incumbent Senator Paiste
in the lead over Roberts by 10%,
224
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,914
but sources in the Roberts campaign
say Roberts will be a strong finisher.
225
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,595
I could use a strong finisher myself, Carol.
How about you?
226
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,078
Mr Hart loves it.
227
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,038
- What about Bob?
- Bob loves it, too.
228
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,988
What is Lukas Hart's connection
with Bob's success?
229
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,470
- No connection.
- He's helping send Bob to Washington.
230
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,039
They do this every morning for hours.
231
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,354
It throws me behind schedule and pisses me
off. I'm the one that gets the speeding tickets.
232
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,830
I really don't give a shit
but I do the best I can.
233
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,115
Good morning, Philadelphia.
234
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:58,673
Senator Brickley Paiste denied allegations
in a report in the Pittsburgh Post Times
235
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,310
accusing him of an extramarital liaison
with a campaign worker.
236
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,278
The girl is a friend of my granddaughter.
237
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,719
The entire photograph shows that
my granddaughter is in the back of the car.
238
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,477
I deeply resent this slander and you can be
sure I'm going to find out who's behind it.
239
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,633
Polls show that Senator Paiste's lead
has slipped considerably
240
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,870
and he's ahead by only a narrow margin.
241
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:27,238
We are doing very well
in every area of the state.
242
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,914
We're doing well in the depressed areas.
243
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,311
These areas have been hit hard.
They're depressed economically.
244
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,040
Plants and their supporting industries
have closed.
245
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,636
People don't have jobs.
They can't afford to feed their families.
246
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,756
They're foreclosing on their homes.
247
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,117
Something has to be done for them.
Bob's going to do it.
248
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,113
Check our security coordinates.
249
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,238
- Call...
- Henry.
250
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,109
Come on, next. On my screen.
Key in, key in.
251
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,475
- 5,006.
- Next.
252
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,632
- 5,000...
- I sent a fax on that, Bob.
253
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,712
Lavalle, you'll be on a slow boat
to Tiananmen Square.
254
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,475
Bob Roberts is a tribute
to the possibilities of the American dream.
255
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,313
A self-made man at the age of 35,
256
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,314
he is rumoured to have a net worth
of something over $40 million.
257
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,758
I'm waiting to meet Bob Roberts
in the sanitary confines of the Pride,
258
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,276
his functionally designed
two-room trading floor on wheels.
259
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,638
Ever since this Iraq business, talking to your
broker's like talking to an insecure child.
260
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,552
- Who was that?
- Lavalle.
261
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,076
- There goes the pool.
- And the house in the country.
262
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,994
Tell me something. The markets
have been in a tumultuous state
263
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,152
for the last three years, since the crash of '87.
264
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,153
Did you lose money in the crash?
265
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,232
- Yeah, right.
- What's funny?
266
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,790
Back to work.
The slow lost money in that crash.
267
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,236
The smart money got out
before the junk bond hit the fan.
268
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,598
That up-to-the-minute, gold-plated information
cost me considerable effort.
269
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,550
If I had been out when those calls came in,
I'd have been screwed, but I am smart.
270
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,190
I know the importance of paging systems
and mobile phones.
271
00:18:05,360 --> 00:18:08,796
Everyone's nerous about the lack of control
of the political situation overseas.
272
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,839
You can't readily obtain that information
but you can stay in touch.
273
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,390
I won't say too much.
There are things you can do.
274
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,235
There are ways you can read the world.
And what I read excites me.
275
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:24,555
W- W-W-W-Wall Street
276
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,109
W- W-W-Wall Street
277
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,236
Wall Street rap
278
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,391
Michael takes a loan
from a Midwestern S&L
279
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,596
He puts the money in a quick-drying inkwell
280
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,796
Takes a loss, gets cross
Walks to the corner store
281
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,996
Pulls a knife, calls his wife
Can't take it any more
282
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,196
Look out, Joe, how far will it go
283
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:43,158
Take away the fire
And where does the water flow?
284
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,630
S&L
S&L
285
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,995
Jerry's in the attic, messing with the static
286
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,037
Junior's on the telephone
Nothing problematic
287
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,236
Julie's selling T-bonds
Her bill is turning over
288
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,356
John is building walls
Manipulating a takeover
289
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,636
Look out, Joe, how far will it go
290
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,791
Take away the fire
And where does the water flow?
291
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,836
Manipulating a takeover
292
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,195
Get tough, get right
Try to get some sleep at night
293
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:08,191
Try hard, get harder
Love to win, live to fight
294
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:10,351
Own the town, love the best
Don't share the treasure chest
295
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,556
If you cheat, get away
Lead them down an alleyway
296
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,597
Look out, Joe, how far will it go
297
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,911
Take away the fire
and where does the water flow?
298
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,116
Look out, Joe, how far will it go
299
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,716
Take away the fire
and where does the water flow?
300
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:32,792
Po-po-po-po-po-pork
301
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,475
Pork pork pork
Pork bellies
302
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,872
Now is the time to invest. We mustn't
be intimidated by Third World madmen.
303
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,909
We must stay strong and market confident.
Reluctance feeds the aggressor.
304
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,958
As we say, if you're afraid of an act of market...
305
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:51,076
You're a dead man!
306
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,992
Let's lock and load.
307
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,914
There'll be a resolution in the Mid-East
and a bull market. Mark my words.
308
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,071
Thank you for your time.
309
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,958
We're on the move.
310
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,837
Good luck, Bob!
311
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,036
To the right, please.
312
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,630
Everybody to the right, please.
To the right, thank you.
313
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,115
To the right, please.
314
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,072
Mr Roberts, I contacted your campaign office.
315
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,392
They told me I had to be connected
to a major news network or newspaper.
316
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,553
That's ridiculous. Talk to Chet MacGregor
and he'll take care of it.
317
00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,714
- What is your name?
- Bugs.
318
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,791
John Alijah Raplin.
319
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,632
John Raplin. Publication?
320
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,552
Troubled Times.
321
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,915
There'll be a pass at the door tonight.
322
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,798
Yeah. Sure.
323
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,478
- It scares the hell out of me.
- My goodness.
324
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,349
- I don't think so.
- Of course not. It's a bad idea.
325
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,748
You wanted to see it through.
326
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,152
Mr Hart thinks we should stick with the red,
white and blue. Simplicity and strength.
327
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,551
I agree with Mr Hart. This one is too basic.
328
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,393
This one, I like it but it's too strong.
329
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,314
This one is a nightmare. It scares me.
330
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,235
I tend to agree with Mr Hart as well.
Stick with the current campaign. Bart?
331
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,197
- Absolutely.
- Straight up.
332
00:21:26,360 --> 00:21:30,478
- Terry, what do you think?
- Me? No question. That's the one.
333
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,154
- How about you?
- Nigel?
334
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,069
The nodding Nigel. Thank you.
335
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,038
Next, our new television commercial.
336
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,875
Guys, get out of the way.
Bob, you sit here. Scat, Bart.
337
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,518
It's 15 seconds. It makes its point strongly.
It starts airing tomorrow.
338
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,470
For a new day dawning
339
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,154
- What do you think, Bart?
- I love it, Bob.
340
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,514
- Perrigrew?
- Great, Bob.
341
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,194
- Dockett?
- Chilly most, Bob.
342
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:06,998
- What'd he say?
- Chilly most.
343
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,038
- What's that?
- It means terrific, Bob.
344
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,113
Glad you like it.
We have two more spots in production.
345
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,795
We have the mayor's wife outside,
lovely lady, who wants to see you
346
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,997
and three boys who want to say hello
to Bob Roberts.
347
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,276
Cobra Two, we're on the move.
348
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,953
- Hello.
- Hi.
349
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:27,076
Mrs Davis, this is Bob Roberts.
350
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,470
We're so happy to have you here.
351
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,677
We're so proud to play your music
in our home.
352
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,196
Sometimes I play it when I'm alone,
but don't tell my husband.
353
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,873
Frank and I agree that you are an excellent
example for the youth of this country.
354
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,511
We wish there were more singers like you
and we intend to vote for you.
355
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,229
We're so tired of Brickley Paiste
and his philandering.
356
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:59,191
- This is my son Roger and his two friends.
- We got all... both album...
357
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,749
- Nice to meet you.
- Hi.
358
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,556
We got a band. We play some of your songs.
359
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,599
We play Retake America
and This Land Was Made For Me.
360
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,479
- What instrument do you play?
- Guitar. We all play guitar.
361
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,555
When Roger first wanted his guitar,
my husband I were fit as birds.
362
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,714
But my husband trusted that his son
would take the lessons of the Lord with him,
363
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,316
no matter what instrument of the Devil
caressed his hand.
364
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,471
You inspire us to do, like, stuff.
365
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,633
- You... you're great.
- I wish that there was... you know, stuff.
366
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,793
Like, you know, if there was...
When I heard that...
367
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,078
Are there any more stuff?
Has... When's the new album?
368
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,390
Election Day. We're releasing it Election Day.
369
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,235
Mr Roberts has to be on his way.
What are the songs about?
370
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,868
Various things. Congress, liberals, Iraq.
371
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,110
We heard about that. Iraq.
372
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,430
Yeah. I hope we kick their ass.
373
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,353
So do I. Will it be necessary to use force?
374
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,751
We must be strong
whenever democracy is threatened.
375
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:08,040
We want to avoid violence but it might
be necessary. Hussein is a madman.
376
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,158
- Sorry, Bob has a show to get ready for.
- Of course.
377
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:17,156
It's been a pleasure meeting you. I wish there
was a way I could vote for you 100 times.
378
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,515
- There is, actually.
- Really?
379
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,078
Just kidding.
380
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,555
Let's not show this.
Come on over here with me.
381
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,952
To understand who Bob Roberts is,
you have to understand who Lukas Hart llI is.
382
00:24:46,120 --> 00:24:49,476
Lukas Hart is a spook,
one of the Langley crowd new guard.
383
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,790
Hart has been in the shadows for years.
384
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,476
A lieutenant in Vietnam, Special Forces.
Worked on the infamous Phoenix programme.
385
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,916
Transferred to South America,
helped overthrow Allende.
386
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,277
In Central America,
he probably popped a couple of heads.
387
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,719
Set up an organisation, Broken Dove, which
supplied transport planes to US operatives.
388
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,872
Got his hands dirty in Iran-Contra,
but the Senate washed him clean.
389
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,828
- I can't recall, sir.
- You can't recall. I see.
390
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,910
Did you or your organisation Broken Dove
391
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,755
have anything to do with a transport plane
downed in Nicaragua...
392
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,275
- Sir...
... on May 23rd, 1987?
393
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,352
The plane was contracted
to fly humanitarian supplies
394
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,718
into impoverished regions
in southern Honduras.
395
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,952
Broken Dove is a private relief corporation.
396
00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:40,032
You had no knowledge of the guns
on that plane?
397
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,394
No, sir.
398
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,711
The three men were all
close business associates of yours?
399
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,110
Rest their souls, yes.
400
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,511
They were patriots acting
on their own volition, their own beliefs.
401
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,955
Can you sum up these beliefs for us?
402
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:58,114
That the US Congress was restricting
the growth and safeguard of democracy
403
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,475
in Central America.
404
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,916
That the actions of these men,
although against the Boland Amendment,
405
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,117
were nevertheless on the side
of goodness and decency.
406
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,555
I have a copy of an FBI report
407
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,508
regarding traces of cocaine
found on one of the transport planes.
408
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,752
This is sensitive material
that should be dealt with in closed session.
409
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,278
This is an example of the depths to which
the US Congress is prepared to sink.
410
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,237
This is a travesty.
411
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,791
The charges were found to be
groundless and Broken Dove was exonerated.
412
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,030
The whole investigation was a sham.
413
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,954
They discovered a secret government of liars
and drug smugglers and did nothing.
414
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:38,271
Slap on the wrist.
The story died in the major press.
415
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,830
Idiots like me keep investigating
to find out how deep it goes.
416
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,434
I have a contact who claims to have evidence
417
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,469
that connects Broken Dove to a failed
savings and loan. It could be big. Gotta go.
418
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,997
I cannot believe the lies
and innuendo you have been the victim of.
419
00:26:54,160 --> 00:27:00,235
It is clear that you had no involvement with
this escapade and we're wasting your time.
420
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,358
- I am sorry.
- I appreciate that.
421
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,478
Is there anything
that you would like to add, Mr Hart?
422
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,156
These allegations are erroneous at best,
always have been, always will be.
423
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,029
How much more of this fiction
must my family suffer?
424
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,714
God knows, I've done enough by now
425
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,395
to make my position on narcotics
perfectly clear.
426
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,551
Drugs stink
427
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,199
They make me sick
428
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,992
Those that sell 'em
429
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,390
And those who do 'em
430
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,471
String 'em up
431
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,710
From the highest tree
432
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,759
Without a trace of sympathy
433
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,755
Drugs stink
434
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,956
Drugs stink
435
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:48,398
Be a clean-living man
with a rope in your hand
436
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,710
Drugs stink
437
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,871
Drugs stink
438
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,919
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land
439
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,275
Pot-headed weirdos
440
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,237
Sex deviates
441
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,752
Dancing fools
442
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,956
Their day is done
443
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:10,511
It's time to leave the face of this earth
444
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,750
Dope-smoking morons
445
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,309
Dirty hippie freaks
446
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,596
Drugs stink
447
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,716
Drugs stink
448
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:24,112
Be a clean-living man
with a rope in your hand
449
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,430
Drugs stink
450
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,556
Drugs stink
451
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,872
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land
452
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:41,709
Hang 'em high for a clean-living land
453
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,191
Hey!
454
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:56,272
Despite indications of a stagnant economy,
one business is showing an increase in profit.
455
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,352
Ribbon manufacturers have had
a huge increase in demand
456
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,910
as Americans are showing support
of our troops in the Persian Gulf.
457
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:07,471
Mr Bob Roberts suggested he knew
which way I was leaning
458
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,835
on the question of war in the Middle East.
459
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,073
I am totally opposed to it.
It's the enemy of the month club again.
460
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,155
Saddam Hussein, I believe, is the most
evil man - what did the President say? -
461
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,276
since Adolf Hitler.
462
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,912
Before that, it was Noriega.
He was the most evil man since Fu Manchu.
463
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,992
And there was Gaddafi and there was Castro.
464
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,756
And these figures are thrown out to the media
and made into great monsters.
465
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,435
Why? Because we must justify
the military budget.
466
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,512
In order to do that, you must have enemies.
467
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:47,391
So we blow up these local thugs
into these huge, Hitler-like figures
468
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,358
and pretend it's World War II all over again.
469
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,478
Do not pin your hopes and dreams
on transport planes.
470
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,950
They'll only build transport planes
if the shooting war is prolonged.
471
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,238
It's not going to be another Vietnam.
A little bird tells me this.
472
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,355
- Was it Hart, Dockett?
- Hi, Lisa. Mr Bourne will be dropping by.
473
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,399
Don't wait for him. Come on, get it.
474
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,473
Buy 6,012. Next. Sell 45,000.
475
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,551
Hang on to those puts.
476
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,517
How can I help you vote Bob?
477
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,639
Bob, you're the best.
478
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,918
- We love you, Bob.
- Cheez whiz, Calvin, don't be a fag! God!
479
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,710
You support Broken Dove?
480
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,953
Yes, proudly. Broken Dove works effectively
to keep children off drugs.
481
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,112
Before its current incarnation
as an anti-drugs organisation,
482
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,319
Broken Dove bought transport planes
that smuggled drugs.
483
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,313
That is absurd and subversive and old news.
484
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,553
Broken Dove was exonerated of these
ridiculous charges by the US Senate.
485
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,475
Evidence suggests these planes were bought
with money from a low-income housing loan
486
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,757
from West Pennsylvania Savings and Loan,
now insolvent.
487
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:05,955
What are you saying?
488
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,715
You took money meant for housing
to buy planes to smuggle drugs.
489
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,996
Ridiculous. Chet, did you hear that?
490
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,232
- Where is the money from those loans?
- Building housing.
491
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,914
Where exactly are these houses?
492
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,232
Do you feel any responsibility for the illegal
activities carried out by groups you support?
493
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,076
I told you. Broken Dove was exonerated
of these charges.
494
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,949
Why would you ask a question like that?
What would motivate you?
495
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,114
I am talking about new evidence
connecting Broken Dove to the failed S&L.
496
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,555
What is your question? Ask the question.
497
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,349
A group that you support
was recently implicated...
498
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,670
What is meant by the word "implicated"?
499
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,719
- To suggest. To connect.
- Not proved. Not to indict.
500
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,077
Are you making allegations
you're willing to back up in court?
501
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,277
The camera just documented all this on film.
502
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,000
I don't think you're being fair.
503
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,913
- Where is your evidence?
- I have a sworn affidavit.
504
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:06,596
You're not showing any respect and you're
abusing your responsibility as a journalist.
505
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,830
Leave it on.
506
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:13,471
Is being responsible as a journalist to ignore
the issues, to gloss over the facts?
507
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,438
No. Responsible journalism is objective.
508
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,513
The interiewer does not bring
his own opinions into the interiew.
509
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,433
I asked a question and you evaded it.
510
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,151
I evaded nothing. You have asked a slanted
question based on lies and conjecture
511
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,074
and I have given an answer appropriate
to that kind of yellow journalism.
512
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,791
- That answer is?
- The answer is I don't talk to liars or gossips.
513
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,953
- The interiew is over. Thanks for your time.
- Turn the camera off now, please.
514
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,396
Bart, please escort this gentleman to the door.
515
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,633
Mr Roberts, is it true you referred to crack
as a great equaliser?
516
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,869
Camera off.
517
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,511
And suggesting that crack seres
to reduce the African-American population?
518
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,514
- When Bob says cut it off, cut it off.
- It's off now.
519
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,636
- Is that off?
- Yes, it's off.
520
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,553
What the hell is this? This is a meltdown!
521
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,836
- Where were your men?
- We took the wrong door.
522
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,514
Clark, this can't happen.
523
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,550
You were supposed to go where? You were
supposed to meet me upstairs. Listen to me.
524
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,439
We have a campaign we've got to win.
525
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,518
Listen.
526
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,195
She's a beautiful girl
527
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,192
As pretty as a picture
528
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,869
She's a day in May
529
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,553
As real as today
530
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,076
She's got to be a girl
531
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,789
She's a beautiful girl
532
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,037
A face full of flowers
533
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,198
A dynamite dame
534
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,510
- She's destined for fame
- Bob!
535
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,591
She's got to be a girl
536
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,355
Ladies and gentlemen,
our finalists are Miss Crucible...
537
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,350
...Miss Broken Dove...
538
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,353
...Miss Three Mile Island...
539
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,629
...Miss Pittsburgh...
540
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,155
...Miss Roadkill...
541
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,199
...Miss Philadelphia.
542
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,999
She's a beautiful girl...
543
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,469
Take care of her, Bart.
544
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:43,633
- Bye, Mom.
- Goodbye, Mother!
545
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,597
A five-alarm fire
546
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,830
- There he is!
- Our heart's desire
547
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,072
A beautiful girl...
548
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:54,835
A drug smuggler. And you're gonna pay!
You're gonna pay!
549
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,631
You've sold out your country, Mr Roberts,
and I'm going to get you!
550
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,948
You're looking at me, Bob! At me!
551
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,680
- Just wait there, ma'am.
- Give me that.
552
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:14,076
A spectacular girl
553
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:17,391
I'm gonna get you, Bob Roberts!
554
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,678
A recent report on homelessness
by the Coalition for the Homeless
555
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,637
estimates that over...
556
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,268
I can't read that.
557
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,908
...Americans live without homes
558
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,675
and a lot of Americans
live below the poverty level.
559
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:37,118
At a press conference, Senator
Brickley Paiste addressed the problem.
560
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,910
We've discussed the Paiste amendment,
which I shall introduce into the Senate.
561
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,471
This will earmark $200 million
for the homeless throughout the country.
562
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,110
Where does the money come from?
It's the famous peace dividend
563
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,752
which I hope very much the President
will not transform into an investment in war.
564
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:01,517
On a lighter note, the Miss Independence
Beauty Contest was held tonight in Altoona.
565
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,989
Contestants came from throughout the state,
566
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,870
vying for top honours and the chance to
represent Pennsylvania in the national finals.
567
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:13,477
Senatorial candidate Bob Roberts was there,
lending his support for the contest.
568
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,519
- And the winner was Miss Crucible.
- There she is. Beautiful.
569
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,514
- You talked a lot about your childhood.
- You do? That's exciting.
570
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:26,515
- Yeah. She had really great rhythm.
- She told me she never had fried chicken.
571
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:34,520
Polls show Bob Roberts ahead of Senator
Brickley Paiste in their race for the Senate.
572
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:38,355
Paiste can't seem to shake
the accusations of sexual misconduct
573
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,590
that hit his campaign last week.
574
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,069
Have the allegations hurt your campaign?
575
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:47,631
Of course not. This is America.
Virtue always prevails.
576
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:04,595
Reports suggest that the Roberts campaign
has been behind the leak of the story
577
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,069
regarding yourself and a campaign worker.
578
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,152
- That is a lie.
- The whole thing is a lie.
579
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,313
I've already explained that the girl
is a close friend of my granddaughter
580
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,835
and I was driving them both home.
581
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,551
I'm also distressed that a 16-year-old
who has done nothing wrong
582
00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:24,029
should be so publicly vilified.
583
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:29,672
As for Bob Roberts,
I could imply guilt by association,
584
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,149
which I think you would like me to do.
585
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,673
But I won't
586
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:38,755
because I do not believe, and I have
never believed, in negative campaigning.
587
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,595
Ladies and gentlemen,
why can't you get ahead?
588
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:48,596
Why can't you have the home of your
dreams, the fast car, a nice vacation?
589
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:53,709
Let's tackle the homeless problem.
Let's tackle childcare, health care.
590
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:59,238
Why has your American dream been
relegated to the trash heap of history?
591
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:01,152
I'll tell you why.
592
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,950
Because of the wasteful social programmes
of Brickley Paiste.
593
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,350
Let's put people back to work,
594
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,751
create jobs, encourage industry.
595
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,592
I can see a brighter future
596
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,515
but we have to work hard
and, dare I say it, sacrifice.
597
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,557
And I remind the public
598
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:25,109
that Brickley Paiste still has not told us
599
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,670
how he will vote
on the use of force in the Persian Gulf.
600
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:34,153
We need a strong America,
dedicated to issues that matter.
601
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,278
We need to care about people.
602
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:43,117
Let's cut taxes, let's make it possible for the
working man to keep the money he earns.
603
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:47,831
Because that is what politics is really about.
604
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:51,879
Reality, not image.
605
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:57,194
Vote for me and I will bring the values of the
common man to bear in Washington, DC.
606
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,794
I will bring youth and experience
607
00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:02,394
and passion and belief.
608
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,553
So let us be real together.
609
00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,870
Thank you for your vote.
610
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,749
I was quite disturbed during
our famous debate, if it could be called that.
611
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,037
A series of photo opportunities
is perhaps more precise.
612
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,918
I get vibrations from Mr Bob Roberts
613
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,389
of a very disturbing sort.
614
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,758
I haven't any idea who he is.
I haven't any idea what he's like.
615
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,479
I don't think I'm supposed to have any idea.
616
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:16,476
I know that he proved to be a master
of pushing racist buttons and sexist buttons,
617
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,358
this and that.
618
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,795
The politics of emotion.
619
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,235
He's very good at that.
620
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,518
What's behind it?
I don't see anybody at home.
621
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,071
But I will say that once or twice
in the course of our debate
622
00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:38,951
I detected a slight whiff of sulphur in the air.
623
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,714
I'm a bleeding heart
624
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,348
Let's give money away
625
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,159
To lazy people in the slums
626
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,515
I'm a bleeding heart
627
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,433
Let's eliminate our nuclear bombs
628
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,512
Arabs can be
629
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,912
Our friends
630
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,115
Right
631
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,714
Don't vote if you believe in that
632
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,519
We'll be fine without you
633
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,240
It's plain to see what you believe
634
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,311
Will lead to anarchy
635
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:15,918
I've been up all night to meet the deadline.
"Bob Roberts and S&L", by Bugs Raplin.
636
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,595
And I quote, this based on a source
I spoke to last night...
637
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,796
"October 22nd. " Today.
638
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,112
"An unidentified source in the West
Pennsylvania Savings and Loan disaster
639
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:31,308
told this reporter that in 1986 an organisation
called Broken Dove procured real estate loans
640
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,948
under the pretence of building housing
for the homeless
641
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,999
and used the money to buy
transport planes for private enterprise. "
642
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,950
"Active board members at the time
included businessmen Lukas Hart III
643
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,759
and US senatorial candidate Bob Roberts. "
644
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,354
So if you're hanging to the right
645
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,318
You can vote for me
646
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,755
It is your God-given right
647
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,593
From sea to shining sea
648
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,435
Roberts and Hart ripped off
savings and loans to buy planes.
649
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:05,549
The money meant for low-income housing
went to buy planes to smuggle drugs.
650
00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:10,510
- This is an astonishing accusation.
- This is the smoking gun. He's going down.
651
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,154
Together we'll be strong
652
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,277
If the majors pick up this story,
I'll be surprised. I don't expect they will.
653
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,355
I have a contact at a TV station in Harrisburg.
Maybe he'll run it. This could be big.
654
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,272
I gotta go. You keep that.
655
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,874
How about a big hand for Clarissa Flan?
656
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:54,958
Thanks, Clarrie.
657
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:00,551
- This next little ditty is dedicated to...
- Bob stinks!
658
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,676
This next little ditty is dedicated to you.
659
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,833
- One, two, three, four!
- Cobra, come in.
660
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,989
Some people must have
661
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,595
Some people have not
662
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,312
And they complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain
663
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,789
Some people will work
664
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,676
Some simply will not
665
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:45,557
But they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain
666
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,669
Like this
667
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,674
It's society's fault I don't have a job
It's society's fault I am a slob
668
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:56,516
I've got potential no one can see
Give me welfare, let me be me...
669
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,910
What's going on?
670
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:02,869
Hey, bud
You're living in the land of the free
671
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,876
No one's gonna hand you opportunity...
672
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,510
Bob Roberts doesn't represent the common
man. He represents big business.
673
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,116
- Contemptible yuppie scum.
- It's about his money.
674
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,114
He talks about traditional American values,
as if he defined what they were,
675
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,990
as if traditional American values
meant greed, distrust and avarice.
676
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,835
He passes the blame onto the silent,
who he knows will not respond.
677
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:33,039
According to Bob Roberts,
the disenfranchised are the problem,
678
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,510
like blaming the woman for the rape
or the dead for the murder.
679
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,592
What I learned about
traditional American values
680
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:45,312
was that they had something to do
with altruism, equality and kindness.
681
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,156
Forget human rights, forget
women's rights, forget helping the homeless.
682
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,799
All that's gonna go away.
683
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,919
They'll take all the money everybody makes
and use it for their own benefit.
684
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,275
Bob Roberts is not for the people.
685
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,433
He's for himself and the people
who have made him powerful.
686
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,309
He reminds me of the roast beef
at the butcher's shop, up front,
687
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,118
the good piece of meat.
688
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,397
The powerful, whoever they are,
are bringing out this guy.
689
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,996
But underneath that beef,
something smells, let me tell you.
690
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:22,757
...but they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain
691
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:31,511
Yeah, they'll complain and complain
and complain and complain and complain
692
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,199
You're commie liberals!
693
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,549
- Get away!
- What are you doing?!
694
00:45:59,720 --> 00:46:04,555
We are marching always forward
695
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:52,356
- Wiedersehen, Peter.
- We're marching for the honest
696
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:58,109
And silently, as one
697
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:02,637
We march for brighter days
698
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:07,749
Days of profit proudly won...
699
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:12,079
- We're marching on and on...
- Good evening. At the top of our news:
700
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:16,392
Violence broke out during a Bob Roberts
concert at Penn State University.
701
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,873
Sources say that 20 to 30 students began
verbally abusing the popular singer-candidate
702
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,712
midway into the concert.
703
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:27,236
As they were removed,
the protestors attacked security guards
704
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:28,958
and a m�l�e ensued.
705
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,351
Sources close to the candidate
say that he is unharmed
706
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,229
but "upset at the preponderance
of radicals on campuses today".
707
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,595
"The '60s are over," said Roberts.
708
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:40,591
I couldn't agree more, Tawna.
709
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,389
Polls indicate that Brickley Paiste
is running neck and neck
710
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,677
in his race against
the folk-singing politician Bob Roberts.
711
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,311
Paiste has been hurt recently by rumours
of an affair with a teenage campaign worker.
712
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,598
Although he's denied the allegations,
Paiste has not recovered in the polls.
713
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:03,549
We are marching for our children
714
00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:08,589
We are marching for the poor
715
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:14,039
We're marching for self-interest
716
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:20,753
We'll march for ever more
717
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,919
A bombshell dropped overnight, Chuck.
718
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,915
The morning finds us with a story destined
to be troubling for the Bob Roberts campaign.
719
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,437
From our sister station in Harrisburg,
correspondent Rock Bork.
720
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,831
Behind me was once
the West Pennsylvania Savings and Loan
721
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,434
which until last year was a viable thrift.
722
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,034
Federal regulators closed the bank
723
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,954
and began an investigation of improprieties
involving misuse of funds.
724
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,557
Today comes information that Lukas Hart III,
Bob Roberts' campaign chairman,
725
00:48:56,720 --> 00:49:01,794
may be subpoenaed to tell the regulators
what he knows about Broken Dove
726
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,837
and unpaid housing loans.
727
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,074
Hello, reality check. Broken Dove ripping off
S&Ls? Its altruism surpasses net worth.
728
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,312
Broken Dove whose donations
to hospitals keep youngsters off drugs.
729
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,040
- Accuse your enemy of your worst crime.
- Disinformation.
730
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,475
- Credo hipocritus.
- Pot calling the kettle black.
731
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:22,350
Terry, most political campaigns
would pale in comparison,
732
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,590
but this one is a peach.
733
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,435
It's like a vicious, hard-fought game.
734
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,354
Close to the final minute,
absolute chaos reigns
735
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,911
and then one team explodes
right through the proverbial roof.
736
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,913
The dust settles, the blood is flowing,
it's a massacre
737
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:44,119
but one team is jumping up and down
with big, silly grins on their faces.
738
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:47,158
That's gonna be us, Terry.
That's what it's all about, fun.
739
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,198
There's nothing like the unbridled fun
of a hard-fought campaign.
740
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,715
- He's down!
- Bob! Bob!
741
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,440
- Stay down!
- My God! Bob!
742
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,390
- Seal the wound!
- Call an ambulance!
743
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,829
Get your goddamn hands off me, you fag!
744
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,798
- Move it!
- Get the bike!
745
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,357
Put your guns away!
746
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:20,198
You get on the goddamn bus.
Security's falling apart.
747
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:22,351
Bush league, pal.
748
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,433
- Get the goddamn camera out of here!
- Terry, ride behind in the van.
749
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,189
We shall not
Not be moved
750
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,514
We shall not
Not be moved
751
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,070
Times are changin' back
Times are changin' back
752
00:50:39,240 --> 00:50:42,949
Times are changin' back today
753
00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:46,792
Deep in my heart I do believe
754
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,951
Times are changin' back today
755
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,714
Today, children, I am talking hypocrisy.
756
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,111
We shall not be moved
We shall not be moved
757
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:01,714
Hypocrisy that winds itself down every day
from Washington, DC.
758
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:09,550
The hypocrisy of an organisation
that calls itself the US Congress.
759
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:18,389
Times are changin' back today...
760
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:23,793
The hypocrisy of an investigation
that seeks to implicate patriots,
761
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:25,871
our dearest friends,
762
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,999
in the constant struggle
to make this land a pure one again.
763
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,071
Times are changin'
Changin' back
764
00:51:34,240 --> 00:51:39,268
Whoa... yeah
765
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:45,237
Lord, pave the way for a rebel's path
to Washington, DC.
766
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,359
Make the road a smooth one for Bob Roberts.
767
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:54,548
A man who can clean up the Devil's mess
in our capital.
768
00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:56,438
- Say amen.
- Amen.
769
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,831
- Say amen.
- Amen!
770
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,309
- Amen!
- Amen!
771
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,234
Despite his efforts to rise above
what may or may not be the truth,
772
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,676
trouble seems to be following
the Roberts campaign. Chuck?
773
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,638
It seems more bad news
has come for Roberts.
774
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,635
It was announced that Lukas Hart III,
Bob Roberts' friend and campaign chairman,
775
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,189
was subpoenaed to appear
before the sub-committee
776
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,591
investigating
the West Pennsylvania S&L scandal.
777
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,992
Partisan manoeuvring. Unsubstantiated
innuendo. These allegations are hogwash.
778
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,390
The timing is meant to hurt us
779
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:35,315
but the voters will see straight through
this pathetic attempt to derail our campaign.
780
00:52:37,720 --> 00:52:40,951
The subpoena has come
as a shock to the campaign.
781
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,395
Campaign staffers fear a slippage in the polls.
782
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:47,951
Despite Hart's denials, this could spell trouble
for the Roberts campaign. Carol?
783
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:50,996
More news in a moment.
784
00:52:54,840 --> 00:53:00,915
The current senator of Pennsylvania believes
in giving free rides to welfare recipients.
785
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:05,915
The current senator of Pennsylvania believes
in giving unqualified men and women jobs
786
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,196
that could be yours.
787
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:14,356
The current senator of Pennsylvania
voted to give himself a pay raise last year.
788
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,669
Paiste.
789
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:20,072
As he sleeps, we live his nightmare.
790
00:53:20,240 --> 00:53:22,834
Wake up. Vote Bob.
791
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:30,478
One week before the election,
amidst controversy and declining polls,
792
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:34,997
the Roberts campaign travels
from Pennsylvania to New York City.
793
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,116
Can't touch this!
794
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,870
Immigrants.
795
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:48,512
Bob has been invited to perform
on the top-rated TV show Cutting Edge Live.
796
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,834
The show reaches 20 million people
nationally, one million in Pennsylvania alone.
797
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:56,438
We hope so.
798
00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:00,109
Not in a real interesting way.
799
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,990
- More like in expense of the immigrants.
- Immigrants love the Kornhausers.
800
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,038
- My grandfather's an immigrant.
- Excuse me.
801
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,760
Bob, how are you? Nice to see you.
802
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:13,639
- Good to see you, too.
- This is Polly Roberts.
803
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:17,031
- I'm Michael James.
- It's such a pleasure for us to be here.
804
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:21,910
I can't tell you what big flan... fans we are
of the show. I'm so nerous!
805
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,710
- It's an honour to be here.
- It's an honour for me to be here.
806
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,032
- Uh... this is my assistant Carol.
- Hello, Carol. My wife Polly.
807
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,113
- Our guest host is...
- Working on his lines.
808
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:39,193
- "Immig... "
- I love the Kornhausers. It's my favourite.
809
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,920
Can't touch this!
810
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,471
Is the lobster family gonna be on?
Polly's favourite is the lobster family.
811
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,270
- Sorry to interrupt. Just carry on.
- Bye-bye.
812
00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:53,233
See you, Bob.
813
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:55,197
- Michael, Michael, Michael.
- Yes?
814
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,476
- What's up with Bob Roberts?
- Musical guest.
815
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,359
You said KRS-One
was gonna be the musical guest.
816
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,717
- Right, and they're sick.
- Standards.
817
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,757
- In LA.
- Standards.
818
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:09,913
- They got sick in LA. They can't fly.
- It was definitely standards.
819
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:14,995
- I think it's an ear thing and they can't fly.
- Standards.
820
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,994
- In five, four, three, two...
- Am I in this one?
821
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,711
Hi. Join us for Cutting Edge Live.
Watch me grovel before the video altar
822
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,997
with a guest who I thought
was gonna be KRS-One.
823
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,435
- Can't touch this.
- Stop saying that.
824
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,309
- Good, I love it. How'd we do?
- That was good for time.
825
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,994
- He didn't say...
- I'm not going to say that.
826
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,153
Bob, if you strum a bit.
John, if you say the first part over again.
827
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:43,869
- With the both of them?
- And they have to stand together.
828
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:45,917
All right, here we go.
829
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:50,471
- This is promo number two.
- Want me to say "Can't touch this"?
830
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,632
In five, four, three, two...
831
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,235
Hi. I'm sorry.
832
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,038
I'm... leaving.
833
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:07,638
Offhand, I would not say that being
a professional singer is the best background
834
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,598
for a legislator of the United States.
835
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,389
I believe in Mr Bob Roberts' background,
836
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:19,759
if it is true that he has had
some experience with the CIA,
837
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,356
then he comes better prepared
than most people do to the Senate
838
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:27,559
with a knowledge of what the real government
of the United States is,
839
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:29,756
which is the National Security Council.
840
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,878
It was created in 1950 by Harry Truman
841
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:36,635
and the country is governed
by the National Security Council,
842
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,189
which is the Defense Department, the CIA,
843
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:44,559
in combination with the great makers
of weapons around the country.
844
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:48,508
So he's already had some initiation
into true power.
845
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,592
In the beginning, our great company
provided appliances.
846
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:55,878
We heated your home, refrigerated your food,
improved the quality of your life.
847
00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:01,672
We prospered and grew into a multinational
corporation. We own this very network.
848
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,400
- Don't Vote and a new song.
- Brand-new.
849
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:09,714
Don't Smoke, that's what we agreed on.
Yeah, and Prevailing Tides. Michael?
850
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,668
Our chief source of income, however,
is the arms industry.
851
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:18,197
Yes, we rely heavily
on those fat government contracts
852
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,591
to make these useless weapons
of mass destruction.
853
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,230
Even though we have been convicted
for fraud several times,
854
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:30,474
you don't hear too much about our bad side
because, well, we own our own news division.
855
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,154
- Bob doesn't care what we agreed on.
- Really?
856
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,029
He feels very strongly about the new material.
857
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:40,749
He feels it should be said right now
and will not back down.
858
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,276
Chances are slim that you'll hear
of our environmental mishaps
859
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,874
or the way we bust those unions.
860
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:49,554
We even have a highly rated show
861
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,871
that the public buys as entertainment
with a leftist slant.
862
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,637
I'm sorry, but we have a policy that no new
material is performed until it's proven to work.
863
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,553
This is live television. This is not a party.
864
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,154
- It doesn't work.
- It's not funny.
865
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:08,518
It's self-hating.
It's shooting your paycheque in the foot.
866
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:10,477
- It's not funny.
- I think it's funny.
867
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,517
You don't have to work here next week.
868
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,274
We want to change the world
but also keep our jobs.
869
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,228
I personally find him repulsive.
I fought his appearance on this show.
870
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:24,269
But the network has new owners and they like
Bob Roberts, a lot of things we don't like.
871
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:28,558
They're the boss.
They can tell us Bob's on the show.
872
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:33,794
You've got to be crazy if you think we're going
to let that fascist yuppie go on live television
873
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:35,951
and sing whatever he wants to.
874
00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,190
Please calm down.
875
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:39,759
Let me assure you,
876
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,390
Bob says he'll walk off
if he is not allowed to express himself freely.
877
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:44,788
Let him walk.
878
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,032
We're gonna go to my office
and talk about this.
879
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:51,272
Carol, have Bonnie place a call to Lukas Hart.
880
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,874
How do I find him? What jail is he in?
881
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,679
- That was uncalled for!
- Excusez-moil
882
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,990
- She is a loud, abrasive woman!
- Shove it!
883
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,390
And she's rude!
884
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,073
It is not funny!
885
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,840
It's been a crazy week, full moon and all.
886
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,310
We're an hour away from air
and I can't find the host.
887
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:10,595
- Michael?
- Where is he?
888
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,036
- I don't know.
- That's not an answer. Find him.
889
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,350
- What are you guys watching?
- The news.
890
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,317
- Real news?
- Michael!
891
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,119
Excuse me, guys. Michael, it's taken care of.
892
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,111
The occupying army...
893
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,714
Network wants a copy of the lyrics.
894
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,270
- Mr Hart's on his way down. We'll be OK.
... growing disenchantment...
895
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,154
Can't touch this!
896
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:44,315
And now, once again,
Pride recording label artist Bob Robertsl
897
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,432
I was going to sing
a song called Don't Smoke.
898
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,593
But in the spirit of live television,
I'd like to sing a song I just wrote,
899
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,833
about courage and conviction
in these troubled times.
900
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,394
Shit.
901
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,388
There's a man for all seasons
There's a man with a plan
902
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:25,232
Who has the courage
To take an honest stand...
903
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,475
- What is going on?
- Calm down. Get the camera out.
904
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:34,359
- Go to commercial.
- No.
905
01:00:35,120 --> 01:00:37,839
- You lied to me.
- The network wants it on.
906
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,595
- You can't fucking do this.
- The network reviewed the material.
907
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:46,709
How dare you? This is obscene. This is
a fucking commercial for a political candidate.
908
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:52,635
You've got nothing left, Michael. You're
nothing but a fucking shell with goo inside.
909
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,360
Are you having your period?
910
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,389
Only one man understands
The American way
911
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:04,788
Shit!
912
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,999
America is a work of art
913
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:15,356
And I thank the Lord for America
914
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,271
Retake America...
915
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,675
Cocksucking Nazi. Fuck you.
916
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,154
What happened?
917
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:41,632
- What happened?
- You get out now. You are finished.
918
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:43,677
- Boo-hoo!
- Get out now!
919
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,400
- No problem!
- Move it!
920
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,028
- Ready with the lobster sketch?
- Yes.
921
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:54,194
I want to apologise, very humble apologies.
You're gonna be on this show again.
922
01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:58,592
Everybody, a nice round of applause
to Bob Roberts.
923
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:16,348
Where's Polly?
924
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:20,752
She stayed behind to watch the lobsters.
She'll join us at the hotel later.
925
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:22,273
We're coming out.
926
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,397
Mr Roberts!
927
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,833
Did you read my article, Mr Roberts?
928
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:43,833
Go! Go!
929
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,278
It's not me! It's not me!
930
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,192
Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! Bob!
931
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,351
Somebody call an ambulance!
932
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,433
We can't wait for the ambulance.
Let's just get him in the car.
933
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,959
Get the door! Get the door!
934
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,152
Clear the door!
935
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,031
- Hang on!
- Watch the steps!
936
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,593
- Watch his head!
- Easy! Easy, easy, easy!
937
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,392
Nigel, hurry up.
938
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:46,557
Watch his head, Bart.
939
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,872
Move, move, move!
940
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,989
I was waiting for Bob and then - gunshots.
Seven or eight of them.
941
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:00,798
I jumped to protect him.
942
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:05,078
Then I saw seven or eight Arabs. I disarmed
the main guy, knocked him unconscious...
943
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:06,912
- Terry Manchester?
- Who wants to know?
944
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,470
Don't get smart with me.
You Terry Manchester?
945
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,596
You were filming during the shooting.
946
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,070
We want to see the footage.
It might provide us with evidence.
947
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:17,468
I'll get it.
948
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:22,760
I hope he dies. I swear to God,
I'm gonna fucking find that guy.
949
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,639
Please, Jesus, please, Jesus.
Save Bob, save Bob...
950
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:34,591
At 12.17 am this morning, Pennsylvania
senatorial candidate Bob Roberts was shot
951
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:38,719
as he was leaving
the Cutting Edge Live television show.
952
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:43,431
He was shot twice at close range
with a. 22-calibre pistol.
953
01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:46,831
- His condition has been listed as critical.
- Is there a suspect?
954
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,958
Yes, we have a suspect in custody
under interrogation.
955
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,999
- Who is it?
- I cannot reveal that information at this time.
956
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:59,109
I got a report that Lukas Hart llI was by
the singer's side when the shooting occurred.
957
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,989
- Can you verify that?
- Yes, Mr Hart was by Mr Roberts' side.
958
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,357
Witnesses say that Mr Hart
wrestled the gunman to the ground
959
01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,398
and took quick action to save Mr Roberts' life.
960
01:05:09,560 --> 01:05:12,154
Is there a political motive in this crime?
961
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,153
Yes. That possibility has not been ruled out.
962
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:19,393
Theirs is a fool's game and those that play
963
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:25,112
Will find their hands tied
And their hearts dry
964
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:29,398
Prevailing tides will drown you
965
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:34,475
Unless you learn to swim against them
966
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,758
He's in serious condition, Jack,
and they don't know if he'll live or not.
967
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:43,277
Minutes ago, we learned the name of
the suspect from Frank Ryan of the NYPD.
968
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,797
His name is John Alijah Raplin,
nickname Bugs.
969
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:51,077
He's an ethnic male,
approximately 35 years old.
970
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,118
Not much else is known about him at present.
971
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,990
They'll be moving him shortly from
the 33rd Precinct for further questioning.
972
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:03,073
This is Ernesto Galiano reporting live
from Mid-Manhattan Presbyterian Hospital.
973
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:06,073
- Where's the 33rd Precinct?
- Sh...!
974
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,356
Alijah. He's an Arab.
975
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,314
- Let's go!
- Come on!
976
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:18,789
Come on, let's go!
977
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,919
- Come on!
- We're getting the assassin! Let's go!
978
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,190
What's going on? Come on.
979
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:41,755
Stop it.
980
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:47,718
- Are you all right?
- Get off of me!
981
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,111
- Fuck you, man!
- Did you get that?
982
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:20,068
We shall not be moved
983
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,357
We shall not be moved
984
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:29,914
We shall not be moved today
985
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:35,108
Our minds are quick
And our hearts are smooth
986
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:41,037
We shall not be moved today
987
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,712
Times are changing back
988
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,189
Times are changing back...
989
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:52,596
I'm evil. I killed him. It was my fault.
990
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,830
I'm bad luck.
991
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,912
He said I could. He said I could kiss him.
992
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:02,198
- Who said you could?
- One of the Bob men.
993
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:06,512
The men with black strings in their ears.
He said, "You can kiss Bob. "
994
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:11,549
He said, "Bob wants you to give him a kiss. "
I kissed him and he was shot.
995
01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:14,188
- I just came for some air.
- How's Bob?
996
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,079
He's going to live. Thank God.
997
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,758
He probably won't walk... for a while.
998
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:25,912
But he's gonna live and that's what counts.
999
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,516
You've had a very rough evening.
I'm sorry we had to bother you.
1000
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:31,113
That's OK.
1001
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,111
Just... No mind.
1002
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:36,192
Um... I'm... I'm gonna go back up.
1003
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:42,310
We have a doctor who can shed light on Mr
Roberts' medical condition. Dr Caleb Menck.
1004
01:08:42,480 --> 01:08:44,550
I'm Bob Roberts' personal physician.
1005
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:48,395
I flew out from Philadelphia
the moment I learned of the shooting.
1006
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,790
Mr Roberts' condition is critical.
1007
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,633
One of the bullets, regrettably,
1008
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,429
entered the spinal column at the L-5 vertebra.
1009
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,514
Paralysis has incurred in both of his legs.
1010
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:02,272
Mike, right here.
1011
01:09:02,440 --> 01:09:06,991
Is there any truth to the rumour
that the assassination attempt was filmed?
1012
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:11,517
Yes, there was a documentary film-maker
present at the scene of the crime
1013
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,752
and we are now in possession of that film.
1014
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,115
Does the film identify the assassin?
1015
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,919
I have no answer for that question at this time.
1016
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:25,278
The film is being analysed.
We will inform you as soon as we know.
1017
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:30,070
It was Raplin. I was standing
right behind him. I saw him shoot Bob.
1018
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,835
The fact that men like Raplin exist
shows what you get with a liberal agenda.
1019
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,959
You pump people full of drugs
and they come gunning for people like Bob.
1020
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:43,877
But they don't realise you can't kill the truth.
Bob Roberts won't be stopped by any bullet.
1021
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,953
He'll be back and you'd better watch out.
He's headed straight for Washington.
1022
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:52,272
That's all I've got to say.
Excuse me. I have to go pray.
1023
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:01,274
The film offers no concrete evidence
of any kind regarding my client.
1024
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:04,512
Mr Raplin asserts that the gun
was placed on him at the scene,
1025
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,079
that he was set up.
1026
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,676
- Who did it if not Raplin?
- That's for the police to find out.
1027
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:11,068
I'm just representing the accused.
1028
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,791
Is it true that the assassin was a card-carrying
member of the American Civil Liberties Union?
1029
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,555
- I do not know. If he was, so what?
- Will Raplin be released?
1030
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,350
No. There are witnesses who say he pulled
the trigger. He's being held without bail.
1031
01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:26,715
That's all for now. Thank you.
1032
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:31,078
After the attack on Bob's life,
the media outcry is unprecedented.
1033
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,674
His face echoes across
the American landscape,
1034
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,550
on the covers of magazines,
in newspapers and on TV news broadcasts.
1035
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:43,714
Roberts is proclaimed an American hero,
a martyr of the new right,
1036
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,395
a crippled prophet for the future.
1037
01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:48,959
We want Bob!
1038
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:52,078
A week after the shooting,
Bob is to be released
1039
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,392
and transported to Pennsylvania by
Medevac helicopter in time for the election.
1040
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,869
He's coming from the back.
1041
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,029
Let's go!
1042
01:11:00,200 --> 01:11:02,668
We want Bob!
1043
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,188
What are the possibilities
of complete recovery?
1044
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,672
Like I said, it's up to the individual.
After surgery and rehabilitation,
1045
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:22,231
he could move his toes in a couple of years
and walk a few years later.
1046
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:23,594
To tell you the truth,
1047
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,036
it would be a miracle if he ever walks again.
1048
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:28,838
As you've been denied access to him,
1049
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,231
Mr Raplin has asked me
to convey his feelings to you.
1050
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:34,755
First, he asserts his absolute innocence.
1051
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:39,948
Due to a restrictive palsy in his right hand,
he would never have been able to fire the gun.
1052
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:45,399
Second, he would like to express his beliefs
that Bob Roberts is involved in dirty dealings
1053
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:48,916
involving guns, drugs and savings and loans.
1054
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,719
And lastly and most importantly,
1055
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,270
he would like to say
that as a witness to this incident,
1056
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:59,115
he saw the gun fired twice into the ground,
not at Bob Roberts.
1057
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:01,396
What?
1058
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,358
Mr Raplin contends that Bob Roberts
was not shot.
1059
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,915
It's not me! It's not me!
1060
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:16,559
Charges were dropped today
for lack of evidence against Lukas Hart III
1061
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,235
in the investigation of the West Pennsylvania
Savings and Loan scandal.
1062
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,960
The case, in which there was
new evidence last month,
1063
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:28,194
was said by the committee chairman to be
"utter contrivance and ludicrous fantasy".
1064
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,033
Meanwhile, tensions mount in the Mid-East.
1065
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,034
Intelligence suggests that Iraq
is close to developing a nuclear bomb
1066
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,988
and that Saddam Hussein
could have a nuclear device within months.
1067
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:43,828
On Election Day, his new album,
entitled Bob On Bob, is released
1068
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:47,276
and debuts with a bullet
at number two on the charts.
1069
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:52,275
His video and single I Want To Live
go to number one.
1070
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,355
Paiste leads in Franklin County, but Bedford
and Somerset give the edge to Bob Roberts.
1071
01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:17,197
In the northwest, Erie is leaning towards
Paiste but Roberts is strong in Crawford.
1072
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,717
In Allegheny, Cambria and Westmoreland,
it's too close to call.
1073
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,668
The Roberts campaign is depending
on a late return to tip the balance.
1074
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:29,549
That's the news.
Now, more music with Tim Freeman.
1075
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,917
I want to live
1076
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,629
Chances are I will
1077
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,799
In the hearts and minds
1078
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,153
Of those that care
1079
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:10,871
Of those that hold their banner high
1080
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,396
Of those with pride
1081
01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:19,916
I want to live
1082
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,749
Beyond my years
1083
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,515
In Elysian fields
1084
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:35,356
Where poets wrestle with injustice
1085
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:39,559
Where my heart could rest
1086
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,593
Where my words would never die
1087
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,432
Take me to the heart of this beautiful land
1088
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:57,071
And walk with me down its fine white roads
1089
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:01,756
Of justice and supremacy
1090
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:08,109
Of roads built by you and me
1091
01:15:12,440 --> 01:15:15,796
Mm mm
1092
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,714
Mm mm
1093
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,036
Mm mm
1094
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,630
Ooh
1095
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:34,998
Ooh ooh
1096
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:40,150
Ooh
1097
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,711
Ooh ooh
1098
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,670
It's as if he knew what was
going to happen to him.
1099
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,718
We have to use the word "prophestic".
1100
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:57,870
This is Tack Manners, APWNews.
1101
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,510
Pennsylvania voters
have been turning out in record numbers
1102
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:05,639
to vote in a senatorial race
that has been full of controversy and drama.
1103
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:09,759
Brickley Paiste and Bob Roberts
have been running neck and neck
1104
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,196
but APWNews has learned
that a winner has been declared.
1105
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:17,239
With 98% of precincts reporting,
Brickley Paiste shows 48%
1106
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,391
and Bob Roberts 52%.
1107
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,874
Bob! Bob! Bob!
1108
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,798
Thanks are due a lot of people.
1109
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:05,396
But I would like to take a moment
out of this festive celebration
1110
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:10,270
to remember a good friend of ours
who lies at home tonight.
1111
01:17:10,440 --> 01:17:14,274
A man who was shot
for having the courage to take a stand.
1112
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:18,549
A young man who speaks his mind
for a better America.
1113
01:17:20,480 --> 01:17:22,152
Let's all bow our heads
1114
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:27,314
and pray for the safe recovery
of Senator Bob Roberts.
1115
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,520
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
1116
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,114
Thank you, Lukas.
1117
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,158
I am truly honoured to be selected
1118
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,472
as the next senator
of the great state of Pennsylvania.
1119
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:52,111
I hereby humbly vow
to serve you, the people,
1120
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:56,637
to the best of my ability,
as long as God will allow.
1121
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,679
Polly and I thank God and thank you
1122
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,990
for this wonderful opportunity.
1123
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:08,515
We won't let you down.
1124
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:17,912
Bob! Bob! Bob!
1125
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:25,877
It's almost exactly 30 years
since I came to the Senate.
1126
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:30,556
It was 1960.
Jack Kennedy had been elected President.
1127
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,473
"We're going to get America moving again. "
1128
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:36,074
There was going to be a new frontier.
1129
01:18:36,240 --> 01:18:39,277
And the world was going to be a better place.
1130
01:18:39,440 --> 01:18:43,399
Well, the new frontier
turned out to be Vietnam
1131
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:46,757
and we sort of fell off the edge.
1132
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:56,588
With the agreement yesterday of the five
permanent Security Council members,
1133
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:00,833
the coalition the US has mustered
against Iraqi president Saddam Hussein
1134
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:05,118
has crossed a crucial threshold,
authorising the use of military force.
1135
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:09,319
The United States has won the backing of
the Soviet Union, China, Britain and France
1136
01:19:09,480 --> 01:19:13,553
for a UN resolution threatening
to use "all necessary means"
1137
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:17,918
to drive Iraq from Kuwait
if it does not leave by January 15th.
1138
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:22,073
Six weeks after the shooting,
we receive a call from Chet MacGregor.
1139
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:26,791
Bob wants to see our footage of the tragic
incident at the Cutting Edge Live show.
1140
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:31,476
We have transferred the film to videotape
and are just arriving at Fair Acres,
1141
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:36,111
Bob's palatial estate at Bryn Mawr
in suburban Pennsylvania.
1142
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,068
The glory of His righteousness
1143
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:44,028
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
1144
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:48,512
And wonders, wonders of His love
1145
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:52,514
Joy to the world
The Lord is come
1146
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:56,434
Let earth receive her king
1147
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:00,718
Let every heart prepare Him room
1148
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:04,429
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
1149
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:09,515
And Heaven, Heaven and nature sing
1150
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:15,959
This is precious. Bob, sweetie, look at this.
It's from a little girl in Stowe, Vermont.
1151
01:20:16,120 --> 01:20:20,352
"Dear Bob, even though it's not
Valentine's Day, will you be mine?"
1152
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:25,435
- "Signed, Amy Biddle Richman, aged seven. "
- Oh, that's sweet. Look at that.
1153
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,392
Why don't we send a letter back to her?
1154
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,838
"Dear Amy, your Valentine has made
this difficult transition much easier. "
1155
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,912
"Be good and don't do crack.
It's a ghetto drug. "
1156
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:38,877
Straight up, Bob.
1157
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,998
To Amy. And all the future soldiers
throughout the land.
1158
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:44,116
Hear, hear.
1159
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,748
Mike, what's going on in there?
1160
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,639
Due to a lack of evidence against the accused,
1161
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,918
John Alijah Raplin will be released
tomorrow morning on his own recognisance.
1162
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:57,117
- What about the gun found at the shooting?
- No comment.
1163
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,999
Nothing further now. No more questions.
1164
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:05,439
"Make America great for Christian people.
God bless, Doreen Graff, Millersville. "
1165
01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:09,513
Somebody got off an early Christmas card.
"Merry Christmas. "
1166
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:14,674
"Where the body is, there will the vultures
be gathered. Love, Billy LaRay. "
1167
01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:17,638
Here's one from the board of directors
at Interunys.
1168
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:20,951
"We send our support.
Best wishes for a complete recovery. "
1169
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:23,270
"Interunys is a Fortune 500 company,
1170
01:21:23,440 --> 01:21:25,829
specialising in waste management
and genetic engineering. "
1171
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:30,437
"Our philosophy is much in tune with yours.
We play This Land... "
1172
01:21:30,600 --> 01:21:34,718
- There it is. The gun, right there.
- Yeah.
1173
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:41,316
"We play This Land as an anthem before
our board meetings. God bless you, Bob. "
1174
01:21:41,480 --> 01:21:43,232
Bob...
1175
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:45,311
"May he rot in hell. "
1176
01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:51,032
"May God's vengeful sword carry
that terrible man that shot you's heart... "
1177
01:21:51,200 --> 01:21:54,556
"Shot you's heart... "
1178
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:57,518
"Shot you's... "? Just a minute. Let me see.
1179
01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:03,918
"May he rot in hell...
vengeful sword carry that terrible man...
1180
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:05,957
...that shot you's... "
1181
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:08,270
His heart. OK, I've got it.
1182
01:22:08,440 --> 01:22:13,639
"May he rot in hell.
May God's vengeful sword carry that...
1183
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,588
...terrible man that shot you's heart
to the pit of hell for eternity. "
1184
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,877
"Signed, James McCobb,
Boston, Massachusetts. "
1185
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:25,397
"PS. Don't... Do more songs like Don't Vote. "
1186
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,389
Well, I'm going.
1187
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,391
Goodbye, all.
1188
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:38,155
Dolores, maybe you better lie down for a while.
1189
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:41,073
- Dolores.
- Something wrong?
1190
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:45,119
She's been working very hard.
I think she's had a bit of the bubbly.
1191
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,350
She could never say no to the P�rignon.
1192
01:22:53,440 --> 01:22:55,874
You better watch yourself, my friend!
1193
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:59,476
I've got my eye on you, my friend!
You're dead!
1194
01:23:03,400 --> 01:23:07,234
It appears that the gun was placed
on my client's person
1195
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:10,358
- by a third party at the time of the shooting.
- How do you know?
1196
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,035
Fingerprints indicate that the gun
was fired by Mr Raplin's right hand.
1197
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:17,954
He cannot pick up a fork, let alone fire a gun.
1198
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:22,159
He has constrictive palsy,
which cripples motor functions in that limb.
1199
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,959
There were no powder burns on his clothing.
1200
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:28,157
- Why was he held in custody?
- You tell me.
1201
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,993
Dolores? Dolores?
1202
01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:35,312
Dolores?
1203
01:23:35,480 --> 01:23:37,994
- I can't talk to you.
- Have you left Bob?
1204
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:40,720
- Are you no longer working for him?
- That is correct.
1205
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:44,555
- What happened?
- A mutual decision. I felt it was time to go.
1206
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:46,790
- I don't believe you.
- Sorry about that.
1207
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:52,318
Raplin's been released. He couldn't have fired
the gun. Is there something we should know?
1208
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:59,510
You see, the truth of this is that American
taxpayers have been paying for covert war.
1209
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:03,912
Illegal covert war waged in countries
we haven't even heard of.
1210
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:06,548
Central America, thousands have died.
1211
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,792
Chile, Indonesia, Africa.
1212
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,431
Until now, Americans paid for these wars
every time they did cocaine or crack or heroin
1213
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:20,516
or any other illegal drug smuggled in
by these self-proclaimed patriots.
1214
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:26,152
Now we have a situation where all Americans
will soon pay for these smugglings of drugs
1215
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:29,710
in the form of taxes
to bail out failed savings and loans.
1216
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,269
Savings and loans
that misused people's funds
1217
01:24:32,440 --> 01:24:36,069
and provided money
to illegal covert drug smuggling operations.
1218
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:37,878
And surprise.
1219
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:42,079
We find ourselves with a seemingly
insurmountable drug problem.
1220
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:52,114
- How do you feel, Bob?
- Great. There's a new day dawning.
1221
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,475
What about the release of Alijah Raplin?
1222
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:58,235
It's obvious that the legal system
is too lenient on criminals.
1223
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:01,676
I will see to it that this leniency
ends in our lifetime
1224
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,035
and criminals like Raplin get their just due.
1225
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,112
- Have you been to Washington before?
- Yes. This time is special.
1226
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,831
It's a new town now
because Bob Roberts is here to stay.
1227
01:25:17,720 --> 01:25:21,998
Iran-Contra happened because no one
did anything substantial about Watergate.
1228
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:26,278
And Watergate happened because there
were no consequences from the Bay of Pigs.
1229
01:25:26,440 --> 01:25:28,078
They're all the same operatives.
1230
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:31,152
The soldiers in the Bay of Pigs,
the plumbers busted at Watergate,
1231
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,630
the gun-runners in Iran-Contra,
all the same people.
1232
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,995
It's easy to figure out the connection -
1233
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:41,119
a secret government beyond the control
of the people and accountable to no one.
1234
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:46,274
The closer we are to finding the connection,
the more Congress turns a blind eye to it.
1235
01:25:46,440 --> 01:25:50,399
"We can't talk about that in open session,"
they say. "National security. "
1236
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:55,509
The truth lies dormant and they stay blind
out of choice. A conspiracy of silence.
1237
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:00,390
I think the entire Congress is quite aware
of the National Security Council
1238
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,634
and its powers and its functions and the fact
that this is a national security state
1239
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:08,837
and less and less of a representative one.
1240
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:14,791
It's... You know the story of the frog
in the... in the pan of cold water?
1241
01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:19,750
If you throw a frog into hot water,
it'll jump around and suffer greatly and die.
1242
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:24,436
If you put the frog in a pan of cold water
and put that on the stove
1243
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:29,674
and you heat it to the boiling point,
the frog doesn't stir, he doesn't feel it.
1244
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,990
And at the end of it, he's dead.
1245
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,958
These things happen incrementally,
they're gradual.
1246
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,874
Are we complicit? Yes, we are.
Are we revolutionaries?
1247
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:40,758
How do you do it once you're here?
1248
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:45,755
There are no Mr Smiths in Washington.
Mr Smith has been bought.
1249
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,154
Just a bunch of deal-makers.
1250
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:54,518
No visionaries. No one really concerned
with the disenfranchised.
1251
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:59,071
Just a secret state of business liaisons
so out of control
1252
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:04,109
that they're willing to send American soldiers
to war to protect their business interests.
1253
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,038
Walls may come down but what is let in
1254
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:21,432
Godless men, godless men
1255
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:25,559
They'll take the jobs of the decent ones
1256
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:31,113
And wait for the day that their leaders
1257
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,751
Will make you their slaves
1258
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,198
This world turns its back on God
1259
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,830
We must fight to protect Him
1260
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:50,032
This world turns its back on God
1261
01:27:50,200 --> 01:27:54,193
We must die to join Him
1262
01:27:54,360 --> 01:27:58,876
The desert teems with dangerous schemes
1263
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:03,272
Godless men, godless men
1264
01:28:03,440 --> 01:28:07,353
They take the innocent
And stroke their face
1265
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,354
And wait for the day that their oil
1266
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:17,471
Will make you their slaves
1267
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:22,912
This world turns its back on God
1268
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:26,436
We must fight to protect Him
1269
01:28:27,440 --> 01:28:31,752
This world turns its back on God
1270
01:28:31,920 --> 01:28:35,799
We must die to join Him
1271
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,030
Meet fury with fury
1272
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,589
Belief with belief
1273
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:44,673
God against the Devil
An eternal fight
1274
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:46,990
March on, march on
1275
01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,116
Brave young men
1276
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:54,195
Our prayers go with you
1277
01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:58,433
To the holy land
1278
01:29:00,440 --> 01:29:04,592
This world turns its back on God
1279
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:08,912
We must fight to protect Him
1280
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:13,198
This world turns its back on God
1281
01:29:13,360 --> 01:29:17,831
We must die to join Him
1282
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,959
This world turns its back on God
1283
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:26,477
We must fight to protect Him
1284
01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:30,918
This world turns its back on God
1285
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:35,790
We must kill to join Him
1286
01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:52,594
No poll will tell you the truth.
1287
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,513
The corporations that own the networks,
1288
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,798
major newspapers,
It's not in their interest to tell you the truth.
1289
01:29:59,960 --> 01:30:01,518
It's too dangerous to them.
1290
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,355
If you want the truth in this country...
1291
01:30:06,480 --> 01:30:08,550
...you have to seek it out.
1292
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,670
You must be vigilant...
1293
01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,353
...unrelenting...
1294
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:15,590
...uncompromising.
1295
01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:20,510
I will get Bob Roberts.
1296
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:24,475
I don't need a gun to do it.
1297
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:31,790
Then I found him. Scooped up Calvin,
he had all the candles ready.
1298
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:34,030
I was the first one to find out, though.
1299
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:38,830
He's in that room up there.
I saw him in the wheelchair earlier.
1300
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,629
He waved... I couldn't believe it...
I think he recognised me.
1301
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:44,279
Which room?
1302
01:30:44,440 --> 01:30:46,510
Three up, seven to the left.
1303
01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,797
The curtain's closed now. It was open before.
1304
01:30:49,960 --> 01:30:52,554
So how's the documentary going?
1305
01:30:52,720 --> 01:30:55,792
Well, I'm learning a great deal
about Bob Roberts.
1306
01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:00,511
You're lucky to be spending so much time
with Bob Roberts.
1307
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:02,398
I don't know if I'm lucky.
1308
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:04,516
What do you mean?
1309
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,194
I don't know if I really like him.
1310
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:11,353
I don't know if he's healthy for your country.
Why do you like him?
1311
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:16,275
- He's righteous and he sticks up for you.
- In what way does he stick up for you?
1312
01:31:16,440 --> 01:31:20,319
He believes in America,
believes in making money, being rich.
1313
01:31:20,480 --> 01:31:22,596
He's not one of those sensitive liberals
1314
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,911
that makes you feel responsible
for everything that's gone wrong.
1315
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,231
Have you heard about his connection
to the failed savings and loan
1316
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:31,914
and his involvement with drug smuggling?
1317
01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:36,278
- No.
- Yeah, I heard about that. That's bullshit.
1318
01:31:36,440 --> 01:31:40,149
- It may be, yes.
- It's the press. They always lie.
1319
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:41,753
That may be as well.
1320
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:46,831
Roger! Calvin! Roger, Calvin!
1321
01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,594
He's dead! He's dead. They got him.
1322
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,638
- Who's dead?
- Bugs Raplin. He's dead!
1323
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:05,551
We are moving for the great day
1324
01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:10,635
- A day of triumph in the mind
- Bob! Bob! Bob!
1325
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:16,557
We are marching for the Lord
1326
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:20,076
Of the silent nameless one
1327
01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:26,154
Working hard for brighter days
1328
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:28,550
There's a prophet on the run...
1329
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:32,713
Journalist John Alijah Raplin
was shot at 6.30 pm at close range
1330
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:36,077
by a man calling himself
a member of the Arm of Justice,
1331
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,916
a right-wing group dedicated
to undoing injustices in the criminal system.
1332
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:43,640
Outside the 3rd Precinct in Philadelphia,
1333
01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,519
the as yet unidentified radical
yelled at reporters and police,
1334
01:32:46,680 --> 01:32:49,114
saying he is one of many
throughout the country
1335
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,590
and that his action
is the beginning of a new era for justice.
1336
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:56,833
Mr Raplin died at 8.30 pm
after a prolonged attempt to revive him failed.
1337
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:01,073
Raplin, who suffered from cerebral palsy,
was released last month
1338
01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:04,471
and cleared of any connection to the attack
on Senator Bob Roberts.
1339
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:08,110
Raplin is a self-professed radical
and leaves no surviving family.
1340
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:11,875
A United Nations delegation led by
Secretary General Javier P�rez de Cu�llar
1341
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:15,715
left Baghdad tonight after a last-minute
attempt at diplomacy in Iraq.
1342
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,792
The Iraqis have refused
to withdraw from Kuwait
1343
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:22,111
as the UN-mandated deadline
approaches at 12 midnight.
1344
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,955
President Bush said that every attempt
at diplomacy has been exhausted
1345
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,511
and that the job of repelling the aggressor
has reached a crucial stage.
1346
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:34,912
The Senate voted overwhelmingly to support
the President if force becomes necessary.
1347
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:39,119
Two weeks ago, 48% of Congress
had been opposed to the use of force.
1348
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:43,432
The Democratic majority leader said today
that since war appears imminent,
1349
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:45,795
it is important
that we stand behind the President.
1350
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,599
A poll today shows that the American public
1351
01:33:48,760 --> 01:33:52,639
are now supporting the use of force
in the Persian Gulf.
1352
01:33:52,800 --> 01:33:56,509
Two weeks ago, 58% of the American public
opposed intervention.
1353
01:33:56,680 --> 01:34:01,993
Tonight, on the eve of war, only 40%
oppose the use of force, the poll says.
1354
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:40,076
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1355
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:45,360
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1356
01:34:47,480 --> 01:34:52,634
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1357
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:58,079
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
1358
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:05,759
Why do your war boats
Ride on my waters?
1359
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:11,153
Why do your death bombs
Fall down from our skies?
1360
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:17,439
Tell me why do you burn
My farm and my town down?
1361
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:22,628
I've got to know, friend
I've got to know
1362
01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:28,915
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1363
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:34,438
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1364
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:40,315
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1365
01:35:40,480 --> 01:35:45,713
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
1366
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:53,360
What makes your boat
Haul death to my people?
1367
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:58,435
Nitro blockbusters
Big cannons and guns?
1368
01:35:59,880 --> 01:36:04,556
Why doesn't your ship
Bring food and some clothing?
1369
01:36:04,720 --> 01:36:09,396
I've got to know, folks
I've got to know
1370
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:16,510
Why can't my two hands
Get a good paid job?
1371
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:21,231
I can still plough and plant
I can still sow
1372
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:28,398
Why did your lawbook
Chase me off my good land?
1373
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:33,429
I'd sure like to know, friend
I've just got to know
1374
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:42,031
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1375
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:47,991
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1376
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:52,631
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1377
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:57,430
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
1378
01:36:59,880 --> 01:37:04,476
What good work did you do?
I'd like to ask you
1379
01:37:04,640 --> 01:37:09,998
To give you my money
Right out of my hands
1380
01:37:10,160 --> 01:37:15,393
I built your big house here
To hide from my people
1381
01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:20,918
Why did you hide so?
I'd like to know
1382
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:25,998
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1383
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:30,597
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1384
01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:35,912
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1385
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:40,596
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
1386
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:47,157
You keep me in jail
And you lock me in prison
1387
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:53,075
Your hospital's jammed
And your crazy house full
1388
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:59,556
What made your cop kill
My trade union worker?
1389
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:05,192
You'll have to talk plain
'Cause I've sure got to know
1390
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:11,269
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1391
01:38:11,440 --> 01:38:16,719
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1392
01:38:19,480 --> 01:38:23,473
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1393
01:38:23,640 --> 01:38:27,952
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
1394
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:36,313
Why can't I get work
And cash a big paycheque?
1395
01:38:37,480 --> 01:38:41,871
Why can't I buy things
In your place and your store?
1396
01:38:44,280 --> 01:38:49,149
Why do you close my plant
and my... down?
1397
01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:54,474
I'm asking you, man
'Cause I sure got to know
1398
01:38:55,560 --> 01:38:59,473
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know, friend
1399
01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:04,589
Hungry lips ask me
Wherever I go
1400
01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:09,429
Comrades and friends all falling around me
1401
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,037
I've got to know, yes
I've got to know
