What's your source?

The president.

Of the United States?

Yes, sir.

That's your primary source? You spoke to President Roosevelt personally?

Of course not. I did not speak to him personally,

but I listened to his Fireside Chat.

Oh, a radio broadcast.

Yes.

Any other sources?

Well-

Any other sources?

Yes, there are other sources.

Like that look in a mother's eyes when she can't feed her kids.

Without welfare, Mr. Tolson, people would be starving.

Who's starving, Miss Booke?

The unemployed are starving.

Mr. Burgess here.

He's unemployed. Obviously, he's not starving.

I drew you in, Miss Booke.

You gave a faulty premise, so your syllogism fell apart.

"Syllogism"?

Your logic fell apart.

Major premise: the unemployed are starving.

Minor premise: Mr. Burgess is unemployed.

Conclusion: Mr. Burgess is starving.

Your major premise was based on a faulty assumption.

Classic fallacy. Who's next?
