Something wrong with the clip?

President Merkin Muffley:
And why haven't you radioed the planes countermanding the go-code?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
Well, I'm afraid we're unable to communicate with any of the aircraft.
President Merkin Muffley:
Why?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
As you may recall, sir, one of the provisions of Plan 'R' provides that once the go-code is received, the normal SSB Radios in the aircraft are switched into a special coded device which I believe is designated as CRM-114. Now, in order to prevent the enemy from issuing fake or confusing orders, CRM-114 is designed not to receive at all - unless the message is preceded by the correct three-letter recall code group prefix.
President Merkin Muffley:
Then do you mean to tell me, General Turgidson, that you will be unable to recall the aircraft?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
That's about the size of it. However, we are plowing through every possible three-letter combination of the code. But since there are 17,000 permutations... it's going to take us about two-and-a-half days to transmit them all.
President Merkin Muffley:
How soon did you say our planes will be entering Russian radar cover?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
About 18 minutes from now, sir.

Why haven't you radioed the planes countermandering the go code
00:00:04.136 --> 00:00:08.094
Well I'm afraid we're unable to communicate with any of the aircraft
00:00:09.991 --> 00:00:13.477
Why As you may recall sir clears throat
00:00:13.546 --> 00:00:17.281
One of the provisions of plan r provides
00:00:17.349 --> 00:00:21.092
That once the go code is received
00:00:21.987 --> 00:00:25.623
The normal s S B Radios in the aircraft
00:00:25.691 --> 00:00:28.225
Are switched into a special coded device
00:00:28.293 --> 00:00:31.295
Which I believe is designated as c R M 114
00:00:31.363 --> 00:00:35.466
In order to prevent the enemy from issuing fake or confusing orders
00:00:35.534 --> 00:00:39.571
C R M 114 is designed not to receive at all
00:00:39.638 --> 00:00:45.001
Unless the message is proceeded by the correct three letter code group prefix
00:00:45.143 --> 00:00:50.748
Do you mean to tell me general Turgidson you will be unable to recall the aircraft
00:00:50.816 --> 00:00:54.385
That's the size of it However we are plowing through every possible
00:00:54.453 --> 00:00:56.487
Three letter combination of the code
00:00:56.555 --> 00:01:01.826
But since there are 17 000 permutations
00:01:01.894 --> 00:01:05.429
It's going to take us about two and a half days to transmit them all
00:01:05.497 --> 00:01:08.232
How soon did you say the planes would penetrate russian radar cover
00:01:08.003 --> 00:01:10.267
About 18 minutes from now
