Influencers

 

You have one of The Greatest 

Influences I have ever seen -- 

Do You Know How Big 

Your Influence is..?

It's greater than You know --

Just know, that Your Influence

is second to none.

-- The Personal, Face-to-Face 

bit of Supportive Encouragement that 

Donald Trump supplied to Alex Jones 

when Trump first travelled down 

to Austin, visited with Alex at the 

InfoWars Media-Hub 

Studio Complex, 2016.

(The TARDIS materialises amongst the ruins 

and The Doctor rushes out. Thunder rolls.)

Tom : 

Come out, meddlesome, interfering idiots. 

I know you're up there so come on out 

and show yourselves!

(Sarah sneaks out cautiously with a torch.)

Tom : 

Messing about with My TARDIS -- 

Dragging us a thousand 

parsecs off course.

 

SJS : 

Oi, have you gone potty? 

Who are you shouting at?

Tom : 

The Time Lords, who else? 

Now, You see? You see? They haven't 

even got the common decency 

to come out and show their ears.

SJS : 

They're probably afraid 

of getting them boxed, 

the way you're carrying on.

Tom : 

It's intolerable. 

I won't stand for 

any more of it.

SJS : 

Oh look, why can't it have 

just gone wrong again?

Tom : 

What?

SJS : 

The TARDIS.

Tom : 

What? Do you think I don't 

know the difference between 

an internal fault and an 

EXTERNAL INFLUENCE?!?

Oh, no, no, no. There's

 something going on here, some 

dirty-work they won't touch 

with their lily-white hands. 

Well, I won't do it, 

Do you hear!

(Thunder rolls in reply.)

The King Has Cause to Call Upon Extraordinary Grace

The King is rehearsing His Speech, over-coming his stage fright, standing alone side-on to a full-length mirror in a White House anteroom to The Oval Office, awaiting admission to his audience with The Leader of The Free World

“It's an honor, Mr. President."

"Mr. President, I can't tell you what a great honor..."

“Hello, Mr. President, the honor...”

Momentarily crestfallen, he composes himself, turns to face his reflection , and Speaks into The Mirror

 

 

Did you know I had a Twin Brother, Mr. President?

Identical.

Jesse Garon Presley.

He was born 35 minutes before me. Stillborn.

And they... They put him in a box on the kitchen table

while Momma kept on going trying to push me out.

 Sometimes I wonder about that, you know.

What that 35 minutes must have been like for her.

The Happiest Moment and The Saddest Moment Life could possibly throw at you.

Sometimes I think, God felt guilty for her, so he gave me the luck that was meant for Two People.

Makes you think, you know.

“Dear President Nixon,

First, I would like to introduce myself — I am Elvis Presley, and I admire you, and have great respect for your office.

I talked to Vice President Agnew in Palm Springs three weeks ago and expressed my concern for Our Country. 

The drug culture, the hippie elements, the SDS, Black Panthers, etc. do not consider me as their enemy or as they call it The Establishment. 

I call it America and I love it. 

Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help The Country out. 

I have no concern or motives other than helping The Country out.”

THE KING :

Mr. President — This is my little angel.

Lisa Marie. She's two years old.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, she is a beautiful little girl.

THE KING :

Yes, sir. She's my pride and joy.

And this is my beautiful wife, Cilla.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, she is very charming.

BUD KROEG :

Mr. President.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Bud.

BUD KROEG :

Mr. Presley.

THE KING :

These M&Ms are great.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Good to hear, Mr. Presley.

THE KING :

You got some good fellas working for you, Mr. President.

My guys are outside.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Thank you.

So, as I really do need to be going we should probably get to what you want to...

THE KING :

These are some of my closest associates.

And contrary to what you may have heard, Mr. President, they are not part of any mafia.

That is just a crazy rumor started by nasty journalists.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

They love to make it up, don't they?

Last month, Look magazine made up some cockamamie drivel about how I broke into the Dean's office while I was at Duke.

You know, you give a man enough money and he'll say anything, you know.

 

They'll just ruin a man's reputation.

They don't give a good goddamn.

THE KING :

They just write what they want.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Hear, hear to that.

Everyone has a badge.

THE KING :

Mr. President, I've shown you these photos because I am deeply concerned about the direction our great nation is taking.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Yes, of course.

Now, I'm gonna need an autograph for my Julie.

THE KING :

That's your family there?

Those are some good looking kids.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, they really take after their mother.

THE KING :

Well, it takes two good lookin' folks to make a good lookin' baby, Mr. President.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Are you...

You're saying, as a gentleman, I'm good looking too?

THE KING :

Well, of course, Mr. President.

Everybody knows that.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, I...

THE KING :

Now, plainly speaking, sir, I want to get people to respect our country.

To respect our flag.

 

Because that's what's getting lost in our nation.

It bothers me to see young people burning flags and smoking dope.

 

And just because I don't smoke dope or grow a beard does that make me a straight? Or a square?

Because if it does, heck, I'll take being a straight or a square any day of the week.

 

The kids today are being brainwashed, Mr. President.

It's what they are listenin' to and what they are watchin'.

That's what's doing it to them.

 

Take that Woodstock for example.

What the heck was that?

 

I'll tell you what it was, it was an excuse to get naked, get high and roll around in the mud.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, I'm with you there.

KROEG :

Four, three, two, one... Mr. President, you have your meet and greet.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

No, not right now. Thank you.

KROEG :

But it's with the delegation...

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

I said it's fine.

KROEG :

But it's with the donors...

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

I said it can wait.

And Krogh, make sure that we get a picture with Mr. Presley and me.

Ollie's outside, he's ready for you.

THE KING :

No pictures.

KROEG :

Mr. Presley, it's standard for us.

THE KING :

I understand. But not today.

Now, if you don't mind...

May I continue?

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

By all means.

THE KING :

Thank you. I have it on very good authority that many of the so-called underground groups have been infiltrated by communists.

 

Yes, sir. And I find it downright anti-American.

Just like The Beatles.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

The Beatles. Well, I don't like them.

THE KING :

They are anti-American, possibly with communist leanings.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, just look at them.

THE KING :

Let's look at the facts, Mr. President.

After coming here and making all that money, they split back to England, start saying all this anti-American stuff, speaking against us in the press.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, some people think they can say anything.

THE KING :

Specifically about our policies in Southeast Asia, sir.

Did you know that?

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

I did not know that.

THE KING :

It was Lennon.

The kids think he's some kind of prophet.

And well... What I'm trying to say is, sir, they may not actually be in the employ of the communists, but if encouraging Revolution doesn't sound like subversive propaganda, I don't know what is.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, right. Yes.

THE KING :

See, I've been studying communist brainwashing techniques for over 10 years now.

And the drug culture, too, Mr. President.

And it's my belief that if we don't do something to handle this situation very quickly, it could very easily get outta hand.

Well, you wanna know why the hell the communists are so against drugs?

It's because they love the booze.

 

Especially the Russians. I've seen it.

You talk about "out of hand."

 

And that's why communists and the left-wingers are clinging to one another, because they're trying to destroy us, Elvis.

THE KING :

I know, sir. Good, honest Americans.

They hate it.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

They don't hate us, Elvis — they hate what we stand for.

I mean, you and me, we rose from nothing.

My pa worked in a grocery store.

Your father was a sharecropper, yes?

THE KING :

A whole slew of things, sir.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, I think we were both somewhat loners.

 

And look where I am today.

And look where you are.

 

Well, a lefty sees that, and instead of wanting to walk in our footsteps, why, they get jealous.

 

It brings all their failures up bubbling right in front of their faces and, well, so, of course they react like caged animals.

 

Because that's what they are.

Just animals.

THE KING :

I know, sir.

And I want to help to stop it.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well, I think that is just great.

Absolutely.

 

So, my boys were telling me something like a concert.

A telethon. A television special.

THE KING :

No, sir.

I want to go undercover.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Undercover?

THE KING :

Yes.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

You want to be an actual...

I'm sorry, you want to what?

THE KING :

I want to be an agent-at-large.

 

You see, if I can get a Federal Narcotics badge it is my belief that I could protect this nation from sliding into anarchy.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Well... I...

THE KING :

Let's say I could infiltrate a band or a hippie commune, as a spy or a double agent, something like that, only disguising myself as one of them, hiding my own true feelings.

THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD :

Yeah, I'm not sure how...

THE KING :

Let's say The Rolling Stones,  or the Grateful Dead or maybe even the Black Panthers.

Heck, I could probably slip from one group to the other without even being detected.

 

And then, just when they let their guard down, I'd bust 'em.

I'd bust 'em all.

 

Of course, I would have to be so deep undercover so that no one would know it was me.

 

But in order for that to happen, nobody...

I mean nobody, can know about this on the outside.

Just a select few.

You, of course, Mr. President...

And maybe Mr. Hoover.
