...is to preserve American democracy,

by preventing America from taking part in another World War.

Did you read the Roper Poll?

Thirty-nine percent say Jews are like other people.

Fifty-three percent say we're different

and should be, quote, "restricted."

- Wrong turn. - Herman, please drive.

You tell your thief cousin, I'll have the police on him.

I'm a lot of things, kiddo, but a thief I'm not.

He wanted it to go on like that.

I'd be the mistress, never the wife.

You're beautiful.

You're bright. You'll meet someone.

We have room for one flag, the American flag.

Evelyn. A beautiful name for a beautiful lady.

Call me Lionel.

They think Lindbergh can win.

He can.

Your choice is simple.

It is between Lindbergh...

and war.

Win or lose, there's a lot of hate out there.

And he knows how to tap into it.

Sandy?

Move. Attack! Watch out, Yankees.

Hey! You stepped on General Lee! Sandy!

- Where's he going? - I don't know.

- Buddy, come on! - Excuse me.

Sorry, kid. This is as near as you're gonna get.

You can't get any closer.

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Thank you.

I'm happy to be back in New Jersey with you.

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

My intention in running for the presidency

is to preserve American democracy by preventing America

from taking part in another world war.

Your choice is simple.

It is not between Charles A. Lindbergh and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It is between Lindbergh...

- and war. - Yeah, yeah!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

The excitement continues here

at Newark's municipal airfield as Cha...

- That wasn't so bad. - He says the same thing

wherever he lands the plane,

from California to Florida to Maine,

but they keep putting it on the radio

no matter how many times he says it.

"Lindbergh or war." It's a terrible thing to say.

Well, war is no good.

Lindbergh is worse.

Evelyn doesn't think so.

She... She what?

She says everyone doesn't understand

that Lindbergh is not against the Jews.

He just wants peace.

- Ma... - Uh, that's what she said.

- Talk to her. - I would, but she's late.

How long is her union meeting supposed to last?

I need to get to the shopping already.

There isn't a union meeting today.

There isn't?

Evelyn went to the airport to see Charles Lindbergh.

The pilot.

He's coming to Newark, you know.

You're wetting the whole mount

and not letting it dry. See right here?

That's water damage on the edge of your Horace Mann.

I thought I patted it dry.

Let me show you the way it's done.

See, I only wet the top portion of the mount.

See?

I didn't know you should use tongs.

You don't have to,

but it helps to protect the stamp.

You have any?

You can have these.

Gee, thanks!

Let's do something different.

Like what?

Follow people.

- Why? - To see where they live.

- That's it? - That's a lot.

I go all over, even leave Newark.

Go anyplace I want. People live everywhere.

How do you get home before your mom?

The trick is to go as far as I can

and get back before she does.

Come on.

Why do you hide your money?

I took it from my mom and dad.

When they're not around, I go through my mom's purse

or my dad's jacket and pants.

It's easy 'cause nobody counts the coins.

But don't take all of it. That might tip them off.

...wasn't able to knock Godoy out...

Tabatchnick's.

Yes, sir.

There's the end of round two, where Louis rocks Godoy

with jolting lefts and rights to the head.

What's the paper say?

The Germans are gonna invade England.

They're bombing London every night now.

Idiots. Another idiot war. What's the news in Jersey?

I only looked at the local pages for a minute or two,

but it's mostly about Lindbergh

flying here today for a campaign stop.

- Another fucking idiot. - Yes, sir, he is.

Roosevelt, too. All fucking idiots.

Use the siren, I'm hungry.

The siren's for state business, Mr. Steinheim.

Are we going to Tabatchnick's as the racing commissioner?

He looks interesting.

Dresses sharp,

and he's going on the 24 West Orange.

A lot of nice houses out there.

You ready?

Not yet. Let him get on first.

Okay, now.

- We could get lost. - You can't get lost.

You tell the directions by the house numbers.

Even numbers are south and east, and odd is north and west.

The bigger the number,

the farther you are from Broad and Market streets.

It's simple.

C'mon, move!

Don't get right behind him.

Nice neighborhood, huh? Told you.

Where are all the kids?

Rich kids don't play in the street.

They have backyards. Wanna see one?

No, thanks.

Darn it. That didn't last long.

What are you doing?

I gotta get the house number. Keep track of where I go.

Then I put pins in a map. You should do it, too.

Then you can see all the places you've been.

Got it, let's go.

Abe is here! How 'bout some service?

Good morning, Mr. Steinheim.

- What can I get for... - Four pounds of sturgeon,

three of the smoked whitefish, three of the belly lox,

two of the sable, two dozen herring fillets,

three dozen bagels, four bags of pickles.

And hurry it up, I don't got all day.

All right, let's move it, fellas. Let's go, let's go.

Hey, kid. Keep a sharp eye he don't try to thumb the scale.

He's only joking, folks. All right, come on.

- Let's move, guys. - There's always Horowitz's.

All right, that'll be... 37.63, Mr. Steinheim.

Thank you, let me get your change.

- Please do. - Get him his bags.

Look at this. Indian head nickel, huh?

- Next. - I'm watching you.

So, Saturday night, you coming over?

- I hope. - Okay, take me home.

What do you mean "hope"?

I had to park it a couple of blocks down.

- Down on third? - Yeah.

- Evening, James. - Mr. Levin.

Got here just before they closed, I think.

- Thank you, miss. - You're welcome.

You worked the weekend again?

End of the month is coming up. I'm still short on my quota.

- Is that Black Forest? - It is.

All right. I'll take that and, uh...

half dozen of your jelly-filled.

I saved those for you. Patty? The jellies from the back.

You listen to, uh, Lindbergh at the airport?

You missed nothing.

Who was there to greet him?

The Republican congressman. Vreeland and the other guy.

A few state assemblymen. Some ministers and whatnot.

Oh, the rabbi from B'nai Moshe, what's his name, Bergensdorf...

- Bengelsdorf. - Yeah.

Pompous son of a bitch.

But no one from Bergen or Hudson or Essex counties.

Frank Hague told every Democrat on any ticket north of Brunswick

that if they even drive by that airport,

they're gonna be looking for work tomorrow.

Well, Frank Hague can do that,

and he's always been rock solid for Roosevelt.

And Roosevelt for him.

Still, I wish the president

would answer that son of a bitch.

He's presidential, Norman. That's what he's showing us.

You remember what he said

when Lindbergh won the nomination?

"By the time this is over,"

that young man will be sorry

not only that he entered politics,

"but that he ever learned to fly."

From his mouth to God's ears. Hey, enjoy the Black Forest.

But in central London,

with searchlights moving closer to our position,

one expects to hear more bursts at any moment like before.

There, what's known as that hard stony sound, closer still.

Doesn't sound like they can hold on much longer, does it?

- England? - Every night, they're bombed.

First Poland, then France, Norway, the Dutch,

now England, all alone.

We're doing what we can.

Roosevelt just transferred eight submarines;

gave them to the English up in Canada.

And before that, the destroyers, to protect their ships.

And when Roosevelt isn't there?

- What are you talking? - Maybe Monty's right to worry.

- What if Lindbergh does win? - Everyone sees what he is.

Everyone I talk to knows that he's just...

Who do you talk to?

We live in Newark, in Jersey, in the Jewish section of town.

Not just Jews. Italians, Negroes, other people.

You ask them, they see this schmuck for what he is.

Listen to your brother. Lindbergh is a hero.

To most people in this country,

there's never been a bigger hero in their lifetime.

Lindbergh is a fascist putz.

Roosevelt's gonna mop the floor with him, you'll see.

...taken off from the HMS Ark Royal

was met upon landing by Vichy French colonial forces

- present in Dakar. - Dakar?

- Where the hell is that? - Lebanon, maybe?

They faced warning shots

from the Allied fleet's heavy cruiser, The Australia,

and quickly returned to port.

Later in the day, an attempt was made

to set Free French troops ashore on a beach

to the southeast of the city,

but at the last minute, General De Gaulle...

Ah. Africa. Western Africa.

Is it good for the Jews?

Can you find a decent delicatessen in Dakar?

Attacks from his ships on coastal defenses continue.

- You missed dinner. - Yeah, I figured.

The boss man made me drive him down to the track at Freehold.

- He had a trotter running. - Did it win?

No. His horses never win.

He just runs them so he can mingle with the goyim.

Run around Jersey as racing commissioner

with a siren on the car.

Dad says Mr. Steinheim is smart and rich

and that you're lucky to have this job driving for him.

He's a swindler. And a screamer.

A what?

Look, I've been in his office

when his subcontractors come in to get paid.

You know, Steinheim tells them, "Hey, look, we're out of money,"

you know, this is the best I could do.

"Look, take it, rob me, it's all I got."

Then he pays them a half, a third...

If he can get away with it, a quarter.

These people, Sandy, they need the money to survive.

And he's a bastard to his wife, his sons, everybody.

Y... Yeah, but... but Dad says...

Look, your dad sees what Steinheim made of himself,

not who he is.

Look, your dad really went to bat for me,

getting Steinheim to take me on.

I know he did. You know, he...

He walked right up to him at the high holiday services

and talked up my being an orphan and all.

Your dad's a good man.

I heard Steinheim's gonna pay your way to Rutgers.

Mm. He got on the phone to the university president.

Steinheim, he starts...

Starts shouting at people, you know,

"You're gonna take this boy, all right?"

And his grades are not the issue.

The boy is an orphan, potentially a genius,

and you're gonna give him a scholarship,

and I'm gonna build you a college building,

the most beautiful in the world.

But not so much as a shithouse

unless the orphan boy goes to Rutgers.

- "All expenses paid." - Jeez.

- He must like you. - Yeah, maybe.

So, any dessert left,

or did you and your brother eat every god damn bite?

He's one of the greatest presidents we ever had.

He saved this country

- from a depression, and he's playing it - From a perspective.

Exactly the way he should. He's being presidential.

He's gonna get his ass beat. Outside of this community...

- Roosevelt? Lindbergh's gonna beat him. - Ridiculous. Don't be an idiot.

- Oh, I'm the idiot? - You know, my farmers are backing him.

- They like the entertainment. - Herman, believe what you want

- but the man has a chance! - He has more than a chance.

Fascism is winning.

- Anybody in this house noticed this? - Enough! Enough.

Enough politics. I can't take it anymore.

You? When you go upstairs, you need a bath,

and you need to put your sketches away.

They're all spread out on your bed and floor.

You missed supper, but I have some leftovers I can heat up.

And you two, please?

- Turn off the radio. - And miss Winchell?

- Herman... - Now Winchell's a mensch.

That's a Jew that takes no guff from anyone.

Damn right, and he means what he says.

Not like some of them, not like this rabbi from B'nai Moshe.

- Bengelsdorf? - Bengelsdorf.

Out there on the airfield, shaking the hand of a man

who shook Göring's hand and got a Nazi medal for it.

Bengelsdorf did that?

Honey? Do you want real food or are you okay with cake?

- Cake's more than fine. - What if Lindbergh just wants peace?

Kiddo, this is peace with a man who is jailing

- and killing our people. - But not Americans.

Oh, knock it off with the Lindbergh puppet.

Enough! Enough! Enough! Enough, do you hear me?

- You're still wrong. - We're just talking.

Mom. Do Gracie.

Not right now, honey. I... I can't. Just go upstairs.

- Go to sleep, it's really late. - Come on, please?

Just a little bit.

Or you could do Baby Snooks.

I can't do Gracie

unless your father does his George Burns.

Oh God, I won't remember.

Come on, you know it well enough.

- Oh, all right, all right. - Oh boy, oh boy.

Oh, she's got the...

Oh, George?

Yes, Gracie?

I got a letter from my brother.

Your brother, he writes?

Not well, but he writes. He tells me about my niece.

- She's got three feet. - Your niece has a third foot?

Oh, that's nothing. I got an aunt who sees

- with her mouth. - Sees with her mouth?

Sure, she sees if the soup is hot.

So, tell me about your niece who grew another foot.

- Herman, you're killing us! - Hey!

- What? - Dad, come on!

- You stepped on my line. - The whole thing is wrong.

Oh, all right, uh... Right. Uh, so...

Tell me 'bout your niece who has three feet.

He tells me, "Oh, you wouldn't even know little Jean",

she's grown another foot."

- Oh, I... I'll be right back. - Where you going, Gracie?

I left the stove in the kitchen.

Say good night, Gracie!

Good night!

And good night, and good night, and good night.

Thank you, thank you.

Sandy, don't forget to pick up your sketches.

And wash your neck.

When he came out against the Jews

in the Des Moines speech, I was... outraged.

But since then, his message has been anti-war,

which makes me conflicted because I hate war.

As do I, and I'll do everything within my power

to stop our country from being entangled

in yet another European conflict.

Now, to that end, last month, I met with Lindbergh.

He met with you? In private?

And despite what you might hear, he's a gracious man.

Mm. What did he tell you?

Well, it's more what I was able to tell him.

I explained to him

that our people are committed irrevocably to America,

where though Ireland still matters to the Irish

and Poland to the Poles, Jews retain no allegiance,

sentimental or otherwise, to those Old-World countries

where we were never really welcome.

And from that meeting, going forward,

Lindbergh has not said anything derogatory about our people.

Not to me, and not in public.

- He listened to you. - Um... it would seem.

But there are so many, though, who don't trust him.

- My brother-in-law... - I understand,

and I'm gonna do my best to convince them otherwise,

which brings me to the purpose of this dinner

and my asking you to accompany me

to the airfield today.

Are you still planning to leave the classroom next year?

Uh, yes, I already notified the school board.

And your plan was to take a position to work

for the teachers union.

I don't mean to,

how does it go, toot my own horn,

but I can make that happen, if that's what you want,

I certainly have friends in the teachers union.

But I have another offer

that I'd like for you to consider.

Come work with me.

With his aircraft now overdue by almost ten hours

after taking off from an airfield near Nashville

and beginning what should have been

little more than an hour flight west

to a scheduled campaign stop in Memphis.

Search parties began again at dawn,

combing every hill and field

of the 220 miles between the cities,

looking for Lindbergh's famed...

Did he crash his plane?

Don't be silly. Lindbergh doesn't crash.

It can happen to any pilot.

As I recall, he had a few crash landings

when he flew for the postal service.

That was early. Lindbergh hasn't crashed

since he crossed the ocean. And he flies everywhere.

Well... I have some news.

I'm gonna see about getting a job.

A job? Where? Why?

Because your father and I need to save a little extra money

if we're going to buy a house.

- In Union? - No, here in Weequahic.

But Mom, you won't be home?

Not in the daytime, but I will be there

every morning to see you off for school

and I will be there every night with dinner.

But what about after school, or... or on the weekends?

Who's going to fix our snacks or lunches?

Come on, you're old enough

to spread some jelly on some bread.

If you ever couldn't reach me,

you could call your father or Aunt Evelyn or Uncle Monty,

I'll put all the numbers by the phone.

Our new house will have a backyard, right?

'Cause only poor kids play in the street.

Now, don't get ahead of yourself.

She doesn't even have the job yet.

And what gave you the idea we're poor?

We're not poor.

Poor people don't have a car or food on the table.

I don't know.

This is what they don't understand.

At a certain point, to make the big money,

you need money!

You show me a meshugenah, he socked away two,

three million, he thinks he's got it made.

He's all done.

Wants to sit back, retire, enjoy life...

And why not?

Because that's when you've got the money

that can really work for you.

That's when, if you know what you're doing,

and you know how to do it,

you can turn it into 30, 40 million.

That's when you can use that money

to get into rooms where you couldn't go.

Money makes money.

It gets you to the deals and the properties

that you couldn't touch before.

And the high hats who wouldn't let you in their club

or want you buying a house next to theirs,

they won't like you any better.

But they'll make way, because they need your money

to get it done, to make the deal.

Hey, putzik. You gonna get the door,

or am I paying you for nothing?

You always gotta push.

That's the way the world is.

If you don't push, they push you.

Take care, Abe.

Yolds.

'Scuse me?

Yolds. Every one a behaima.

What, canst redden Yiddish, kid?

Not so much, no. I mean, my grandfather used to speak it

to my grandma if they didn't want to be understood.

- But he's gone now, so... - A yold is a schmuck.

A rube, a dumb animal waiting to get taken.

Yeah? What's a behaima?

A fat cow.

Same thing.

I don't know, Ev.

Maybe this is a silly idea to start with.

Why? The boys are older,

there's no reason you can't go back to work

and begin saving money.

What have you circled?

Two jobs for seamstresses and one office cleaning company,

but that's at night.

Why did you go to the airport?

What?

Why did you go to the airport to see Lindbergh?

Ma told me.

A friend of mine asked me to go with him.

- A friend? Angelo again? - No. I told you, that's over.

- I am done with Angelo. - Good.

Who, then?

Rabbi Bengelsdorf.

Bengelsdorf? Evelyn...

Lindbergh is not an anti-Semite.

- Like hell he's not! - Bess, do you really think

that a rabbi, and someone as... as smart

and accomplished as Lionel, could ever support someone

- who was truly against the Jews? - Lionel?

Well, that's his name.

He's got to be in his 50s.

Evelyn, for the love of all that's holy...

He's 60, actually. But he's widowed.

And oh my goodness, you can tell our mother,

I think he's Jewish.

I mean, it's not like a rabbi is any kind of job

for a nice Jewish boy, but you know, at this point,

I'm just gonna have to take what I can get.

He's a good man, Bess.

I think I might have found someone.

Whoa.

Isn't this a little too much warpaint?

No...

Now that is a shade too bold.

If it's good enough for Barbara Stanwyck,

it's good enough for Elizabeth Finkel Levin.

Pucker.

Hm. Barbara Stanwyck, huh?

It's her favorite shade. So says Louella Parsons.

Oh, one more touch...

Grandma Sara's.

Oh, don't cry! You're gonna ruin my best work!

Um, Mr. Stern's office, please?

Fourth floor, elevator on your far right.

Thank you.

Fourth floor, please.

Hi, Phil. Wanna play chess?

No! I have errands to run.

- Can I come with you? - No, I have a bus to catch.

I can play with you tomorrow.

And now, the second half of the eighth inning.

Rudy York, first baseman, will be the first man up

for the Tigers. He's batting right-handed again

and followed by Greenberg and then Pinky Higgins.

- Score? - Seven-one, Tigers.

But Greenberg has an RBI double,

so that's one for the Hebrews, regardless.

The Reds are subbing out the pitcher.

Mr. Steinheim doesn't need you tonight for anything?

Let me see, he'll be screaming at his wife

and running down his sons at dinner,

but I can't really help him with that.

Don't be stupid and mouth off like this when he can hear you.

I'm stupid? To hell with Steinheim.

- He's a goniff. - A goniff? He's a builder.

And one of the most important in New Jersey.

He chisels his contractors. He's against the unions.

He screws over the working people

every chance he gets, I didn't know

you had so much admiration for all of that.

You really wanna tell me that the worst human being ever born

is a man who wants to make you an educated person

and find a place for you in his building company?

Hitler is the worst human being ever born, and frankly,

I'd rather be fighting that son of a bitch

than waste my time with a Jew like Steinheim,

who only brings shame on the rest of us by...

Don't talk to me like a child.

He doesn't bring shame on anyone.

You think it would be any better if you were working

- for an Irish builder? - I do not want to be in debt

to the likes of Abe Steinheim for the rest of my life.

- In debt to a... - There's more to him

than just money, and like him or not,

there's no reason for you to give up on college.

To hell with Steinheim, and to hell with you...

You think that everything in this life...

What is this now?

- We were just... - Nothing, Aunt Bess.

It's baseball.

You look beautiful.

I look hired.

Hahne's department store, women's apparel.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Well, first, I went to see Malka the dressmaker.

She'd already filled the position with her niece.

- Malka. - Yeah. But then she said...

I have everyone of the National Parks issue

except for the Great Smokey Mountains.

Ten cent one. I think it's black.

Did you know men stars in Hollywood kiss each other?

What are you talking about?

You didn't know that, did you?

That's bullshit, who told...

No, let me guess, Earl Axman.

His dad was in a movie in Hollywood and he told Earl.

- So there. - Your friend knows

too much for a little kid and not near enough to be a grown-up.

He has a great stamp collection.

Big deal. Did he tell you rich kids play in backyards?

He did, didn't he? It's more bullshit.

He's got a mom that'll go out with anyone.

She goes out with guys that aren't even her own age.

- How do you know? - Everyone on Summit Avenue knows.

- I don't. - That's not all you don't know.

Like what? What don't I know?

Please turn to page 158

as the cantor leads us in Ashrei.

Philip, your mother is concerned you may be a little too young

- to watch the newsreels. - I'm not.

Well, I told her that it hasn't bothered you yet,

but if you see anything that bothers you,

put your hands over your eyes

- and we'll talk about it later. - I won't need to.

Will there be anything about Lindbergh having to land

- the plane in that field? - It's too soon.

That happened Thursday.

They didn't find him until yesterday morning.

They need a couple days to get the film to the theaters.

I'm sure all we'll get is the usual 41-word

piece of film from the Lone Ostrich

standing in front of his airplane somewhere.

What's the 41-word thing?

That's all Lindbergh says,

a 41-word speech about Roosevelt and war.

Then he gets back on his little plane

and flies off.

...is to preserve American democracy

by preventing America from taking part

in another world war.

Your choice is simple.

It's not between Charles A. Lindbergh

and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

It's between Lindbergh and war.

Who do you think is going to fall for this

stupid barnstorming stunt?

The Luftwaffe, Hitler's air force,

continuing its raids on Britain,

has decided the city of London is a military objective.

High explosive incendiary bombs are dropped throughout the night

and many Londoners shelter in the underground train stations.

Why is everything on fire?

The Germans bombed the city.

Why?

It's war.

But war is soldiers shooting each other.

This is the new kind of war.

...German bombers and British night fighters in the air until dawn.

And despite the damage, Londoners manage,

one way or another, to endure.

Lionel, I'm... I'm flattered, but the truth is,

I never even learned my Hebrew letters.

We weren't particularly observant,

especially after we lost our grandparents.

Shouldn't you be looking to fill this position

with somebody better versed in... in all of this?

I mean, I can't tell you the difference between

- the Talmud and the... Mi... - Mishnah.

Well, the Mishnah is the original oral law

of the Jews as collected,

and the Talmud is volumes and volumes of rabbis

and sages arguing about it.

Well, we do like to argue.

Sadly, that's too true.

And I will confess to you that there are times

when I look at all these books and I wonder...

what it amounts to.

It certainly doesn't amount to a good reason

that you can't serve as my assistant.

Here, this is education enough.

Aristotle meets the Bible.

Maimonides.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

Do you have a scarf to match my eyes?

Royal blue, I would think.

Uh, royal blue number one. Royal blue number two...

and number three.

- I would think that... - Let's try number two.

You don't happen to have any of the Lindbergh scarves,

do you? They're all the rage now.

I... don't believe we do.

Of course not. For that, we need to go to Smithson's.

Right.

...Forces claim the ruthless occupation

is being imposed on every city and town.

German authorities say they're being infiltrated

by saboteurs and agitators

and are responding with necessary countermeasures.

This footage smuggled out allegedly shows German soldiers

on occupied duty, checking papers,

making arrests.

These are supposedly real images of occupied Poland.

Behind the fighting units come the SS elite units

and security police.

Then there are the neighbor helpers.

Communists, gypsies, Jews, and undesirables.

I'm gonna be back late tonight, Ma.

Late?

Yeah, I'm going downtown for dinner.

Evelyn, why can't I meet this man?

You can, Ma. You will.

Rabbi?

Those who cannot remember the past...

He'll still fund it, but he doesn't want it...

...are condemned to repeat it.

And while there are many in the ranks of labor...

who think that war is the only answer to fascism,

I stand with those who remember

what was said before the last European conflict...

That war only serves

to set working men from fellow nations against each other...

diminishing our ranks and devaluing our lives

so that the capitalist profiteers

reap the profits!

To be drawn into this fight

is to see our American working class

drawn into another brutal bloodletting,

so as to enrich our modern day robber barons.

And for what? Slogans? Patriotism?

Our country is not under attack!

John I. Lewis, ladies and gentlemen.

I asked our next speaker backstage

which language he would give his talk in.

I had to ask; the man speaks ten languages.

Lindbergh!

Let's give a warm and appreciative welcome

to Rabbi Lionel Bengelsdorf of the B'nai Moshe Synagogue

- of Newark, New Jersey. - Yep, they bought him.

They slipped a gold ring through his big Jew nose

and now they can lead him anywhere.

Listen to the man, give him a hearing.

It's only fair.

Thank you.

I'm honored to be here with y'all tonight.

Lindbergh!

Contrary to the propaganda disseminated by his critics,

Charles Lindbergh, our candidate,

did not once visit Germany as a sympathizer

or supporter of Hitler,

but rather he traveled each and every time

as a secret adviser to the US government.

Far from betraying America, as the misguided

and ill-intentioned continue to charge,

Colonel Lindbergh has almost single-handedly served

to strengthen America's military preparedness

by doing everything within his power

to advance the cause of American aviation

and expand America's air defenses.

Jesus, everybody knows what he was doing...

- Let the great orator speak. - I cannot believe they're

- trying to get away... - Well, try.

What is happening in the world today

is not America's war.

This is Europe's war.

I oppose the Nazi hoodlums' treatment of the European Jews

with every ounce of my strength,

and so does Colonel Lindbergh.

But how will that situation be alleviated

by our own country going to war?

Tell me, President Roosevelt, what sort of America

will the massive slaughter of innocent American boys

leave in its wake?

Roosevelt for ex-president!

And further,

I'm here to crush all doubt of the unadulterated loyalty

of the American Jews to the United States of America.

And so, I offer my support

to the candidacy of Colonel Lindbergh

because the political objectives and purposes of my people

- are identical to his. - Your people? Who the hell do you think

do you think you are, Moses?

Our religion is independent

of any piece of land other than this great country,

to which we commit our total devotion

and allegiance as the proudest of citizens.

I want Charles Lindbergh to be my president

not in spite of my being a Jew,

but because I am a Jew.

An American Jew.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Lindbergh! Lindbergh! Lindbergh!

Pompous son of a bitch, huh?

Knows everything. It's a shame he doesn't know anything else.

What's that mean?

It means the good rabbi's getting a little too smart

for his britches.

Does that idiot think one single Jew is gonna go out

and vote for this anti-Semite

because of that stupid lying speech?

I mean, what does he think he's doing?

Koshering Lindbergh.

Koshering what?

They didn't get him up there to talk to Jews.

They didn't buy him off for that.

Don't you understand?

He's up there talking to the goyim.

He's giving all the good Christian folks of this country

their personal rabbi's permission to vote for Lindy

an... and not to think themselves Nazis or... or anti-Semites.

Can't you see what they just got the great Lionel Bengelsdorf to do?

Oh, my God.

Evelyn.

What?

They won't vote for a man like that.

But they don't want four more years of Roosevelt.

He's a great man.

He's done a lot for this country.

But Lindbergh looks the part.

The... The fucking zhlubs will give him...

- What are you doing? - In case we get bombed.

...are not so stupid as to fall for this.

Look, I believe in democracy, and on election day,

the American people will make this right.

They will choose the man fit to be president.

She has to be a goddamn schlimazel

to send three gray suits to the cleaners

at the same time.

You gotta have air in your head.

But that's who I married.

Did you call Fleischman's for my cigars?

- I did not. - Well, why the hell not?

You gonna open the door?

No, I am not.

Go fuck yourself, Abe.

Levin residence, this is Philip.

You're Alvin's cousin? I'm Billy Steinheim.

Yes, sir, Mr. Billy Steinheim.

Tell your dad Alvin quit on my father.

- You remember that? - Yes, sir, I'll tell my dad.

Okay. Bye bye, kid.

It's still your move.

Seldon, I have to go, I can't play anymore.

- It's important. - Can I come with you?

No, I have to go.

When can we play again?

I don't know, I'll have to ask my mom.

Come on. Bye.

- When did he leave? - This morning.

Mister Levin, he asked me to give you this.

_

_

Just one, Rose.

- Thank you. - You're welcome, Herman.

This is the latest.

They bombed St. Paul's Cathedral.

The most recent victim of their wave of destruction

is St. Paul's Cathedral, which has stood proudly

in the city for nearly 243 years.

Thankfully, only the high alter of the church was destroyed...

Do you have any good news, Shepsie?

And the bobby soxers

are going crazy for Frank Sinatra,

lead singer of the Tommy Dorsey Band.

Taking the stage for the first time on his own,

the singing sensation from Hoboken kicked off a 17-city tour...

FDR! FDR!

This year's election is already shaping up to be

the largest turnout in US history,

with three million newly registered voters

in the last month alone.

Election officials are anticipating

over five million more citizens showing up to the polls

- this year than did in 1936... - If England and France

had offered a hand to the strong republic of Germany,

there would be no war today.

If the white race is ever seriously threatened,

it may then be time for us

to take our part in its protection.

Polling locations prepare for the record numbers.

Government officials say there's no reason for concern.

Democracy will continue its march unabated.

Uncle Sam made sure...

And here in New York, due to the tremendous turnout,

polls will remain open until 9:00 p.m.

So, those of you who have not voted yet

should make your way to the ballot box.

...which might also have been

written this afternoon.

"I said," In some places in the world,

the tides are running against democracy.

But our faith has not been unsettled.

We believe in democracy because of our traditions...

- Where are you traveling? - Montreal.

- For business or pleasure? - Pleasure.

Rhode Island has already been called for Roosevelt,

the first decided state of the night.

_

The polls having closed in strategic states...

- Come inside. - ...on the East Coast.

Connecticut, Alabama and Delaware

are tallying up their final ballots, while Massachusetts

and Maryland have both been called for Roosevelt.

And Virginia and Kentucky...

...have given Lindbergh his first states of the evening.

Roosevelt has picked up his home state of New York,

while Connecticut and Georgia are both going to Lindbergh.

What was predicted by many to be an easy third election

for the president is turning into

a suspenseful contest of wills.

And with Monroe County swinging for Lindy,

Florida is looking too close to call.

So, we must retract our earlier statement

saying returns pointed to Roosevelt taking the state.

With results coming in from the west,

Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona

all appear to be going to Lindbergh.

California and its 22 electoral votes

are still in play.

Alvin.

We shall not look at this as a defeat,

but as a right,

the right reserved to us by our founding fathers.

- A yank, eh? - The guarantee that allows for

the will of the people to be heard...

You here to fight for King and Country?

...to be counted, to be advanced,

and to be forever protected.

I'm here to kill Nazis.

And there you have it, folks.

With President Roosevelt finally making his concession,

Charles Lindbergh is the unimpeded winner

of this year's presidential election.

...greeting a crowd of supporters and well-wishers

gathered before him late on election night.

The 33rd President of the United States,

Charles Augustus Lindbergh.

Thank you for this campaign.

Tonight, we have taken back America!
