[edit] Day 2

Jenny Dodge informed Palmer that Wieland was not satisfied with Palmer's glib explanation of why he cut his fishing trip short and was planning to broadcast rumors of a massive attack on the U.S.

Hoping to avoid mass hysteria, Palmer asked Wieland to hold off airing the story until later, but his offer of an exclusive interview only made Wieland more suspicious. As soon as their meeting ended, Palmer ordered Richard Armus to hold Wieland indefinitely.

Later in the day, rumors began circulating about Wieland's disappearance. A woman from his network, Sandra Ivany as mentioned by Sherry Palmer, called the estate to question his location. Sherry offered to let him inside the President's Operations Center in return for his temporary silence. He refused her offer. Armus let Wieland out around 3:35 pm, at which point he aired the rumors about the attack as well as his own story about being detained.

Finally, Wieland was called in by Vice President Prescott to testify against President Palmer as part of the 25th Amendment hearing.

• President Palmer: You're barking up the wrong tree, Ron.
• Ron Wieland: Well, you know, I don't recall the last time a journalist has been able to get a private interview with the president on a few minutes notice. So my twenty-two years in the business tell me I'm barking up the right tree.

• Ron Wieland: I've been kidnapped by the leader of the free world.

• President Palmer: Do you think the lives of thousands of citizens is less important than a couple hours of your First Amendment rights?
• Ron Wieland: No, I don't. But under the Bill of Rights, that decision was mine, not yours, Mr. President.
