Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:52,639
How you doin' tonight, officer?
2
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,560
I'm gonna need you
to get outta the car.
3
00:01:58,146 --> 00:01:59,646
Come on.
Let's get out.
4
00:02:21,961 --> 00:02:23,873
- Move!
- Go! Go!
5
00:02:24,881 --> 00:02:26,042
Move! It's clear.
6
00:02:27,508 --> 00:02:30,719
Move, move, move.
Clear!
7
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,721
Let's go, let's go!
Move! Move! Move! Move!
8
00:02:37,518 --> 00:02:39,353
A plane just struck
the Pentagon.
9
00:02:45,777 --> 00:02:47,778
Let's make sure
those phone lines are working.
10
00:02:47,779 --> 00:02:49,154
Phones are go, sir.
11
00:02:49,155 --> 00:02:50,906
The SVTC.
Let's contact the FAA,
12
00:02:50,907 --> 00:02:51,990
find out how many planes are
in the air.
13
00:02:51,991 --> 00:02:53,408
Yes, sir.
14
00:02:53,409 --> 00:02:55,118
Let's get these
televisions working.
15
00:02:55,119 --> 00:02:56,912
May I get the president
on the line, please?
16
00:02:56,913 --> 00:02:58,830
We got planes in the air
and nowhere for them to land.
17
00:02:58,831 --> 00:03:00,332
I still have
one plane unaccounted for
18
00:03:00,333 --> 00:03:01,667
flying over Pennsylvania.
19
00:03:01,668 --> 00:03:02,834
I need permission
for them to land
20
00:03:02,835 --> 00:03:04,753
at a Canadian airport.
21
00:03:04,754 --> 00:03:06,797
...very large
plane. It was going fast.
22
00:03:06,798 --> 00:03:08,340
Flying over Pennsylvania on course.
23
00:03:08,341 --> 00:03:10,300
And three other planes
are unaccounted for.
24
00:03:10,301 --> 00:03:12,094
I'm seeing five planes
unaccounted for.
25
00:03:12,095 --> 00:03:13,553
No! Scratch that.
I'm seeing four!
26
00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:17,516
I have NORAD on the line.
27
00:03:17,517 --> 00:03:19,554
That is correct.
He is. That is correct.
28
00:03:20,687 --> 00:03:23,475
Mr. Vice President,
POTUS on line one, sir.
29
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,396
Mr. President.
30
00:03:31,906 --> 00:03:35,158
The situation
is, uh, extremely fluid.
31
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:36,775
I strongly recommend
you stay in the air.
32
00:03:38,121 --> 00:03:41,998
I have, uh, sequestered
congressional leadership.
33
00:03:41,999 --> 00:03:43,875
Okay, then.
34
00:03:43,876 --> 00:03:45,001
Sir, Donald Rumsfeld is
35
00:03:45,002 --> 00:03:46,670
at the Pentagon on line three.
36
00:03:46,671 --> 00:03:49,381
- That?
- Mm-hmm. Yes, sir.
37
00:03:49,382 --> 00:03:51,717
Dick, are there
still passenger planes in the air?
38
00:03:51,718 --> 00:03:52,926
I need rules of engagement.
39
00:03:52,927 --> 00:03:54,607
Let's get the President
back on line, sir.
40
00:03:56,389 --> 00:03:59,808
You have authorization to shoot down
41
00:03:59,809 --> 00:04:02,394
any aircraft deemed a threat.
42
00:04:02,395 --> 00:04:04,020
Presidential authority?
43
00:04:04,021 --> 00:04:06,440
That is correct.
All orders are UNODIR.
44
00:04:06,441 --> 00:04:08,567
"UNODIR," sir?
45
00:04:08,568 --> 00:04:10,525
Unless otherwise directed.
46
00:04:13,990 --> 00:04:16,825
By all accounts
of what people saw
47
00:04:16,826 --> 00:04:20,162
in that room on that terrible day,
48
00:04:20,163 --> 00:04:21,699
there was confusion...
49
00:04:23,249 --> 00:04:24,249
fear...
50
00:04:25,668 --> 00:04:26,784
uncertainty.
51
00:04:29,380 --> 00:04:31,631
But Dick Cheney saw something else
52
00:04:31,632 --> 00:04:32,748
that no one else did.
53
00:04:35,887 --> 00:04:37,378
He saw an opportunity.
54
00:04:41,934 --> 00:04:45,979
As the world becomes
more and more confusing,
55
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:48,106
we tend to focus on the things
56
00:04:48,107 --> 00:04:50,440
that are right there
in front of us...
57
00:04:52,445 --> 00:04:55,113
while ignoring the massive forces
58
00:04:55,114 --> 00:04:58,607
that actually change
and shape our lives.
59
00:05:00,036 --> 00:05:03,747
And with people working
longer and longer hours,
60
00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:06,082
for less and less,
61
00:05:06,083 --> 00:05:07,709
when we do have free time,
62
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:09,920
the last thing we want is
63
00:05:09,921 --> 00:05:12,422
complicated analysis
of our government,
64
00:05:12,423 --> 00:05:13,840
lobbying,
65
00:05:13,841 --> 00:05:16,218
international trade agreements,
66
00:05:16,219 --> 00:05:17,427
and tax bills.
67
00:05:22,141 --> 00:05:23,725
So it's no surprise
68
00:05:23,726 --> 00:05:26,186
that when a monotone,
69
00:05:26,187 --> 00:05:30,106
bureaucratic vice president
came to power,
70
00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:31,733
we hardly noticed...
71
00:05:34,403 --> 00:05:36,488
...as he achieved
a position of authority
72
00:05:36,489 --> 00:05:37,948
that very few leaders
73
00:05:37,949 --> 00:05:40,908
in the history of
America ever have...
74
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,996
- Vice President, for your...
- These tax cuts are...
75
00:05:44,997 --> 00:05:46,790
...get this started?
That's for your fucking...
76
00:05:46,791 --> 00:05:49,084
I'm fucking dying!
77
00:05:49,085 --> 00:05:52,212
Forever changing
the course of history
78
00:05:52,213 --> 00:05:55,047
for millions and millions of lives.
79
00:05:57,176 --> 00:06:00,470
And he did it like a ghost,
80
00:06:00,471 --> 00:06:04,349
with most people having
no idea who he is
81
00:06:04,350 --> 00:06:05,841
or where he came from.
82
00:06:25,204 --> 00:06:30,074
How does a man
go on to become who he is?
83
00:06:31,961 --> 00:06:36,590
Well, it starts in 1963...
84
00:06:36,591 --> 00:06:38,174
when Dick's best girl, Lynne,
85
00:06:38,175 --> 00:06:41,043
was getting straight A's
at Colorado College.
86
00:06:46,183 --> 00:06:49,472
Lynne had helped Dick get
a scholarship at Yale...
87
00:06:51,981 --> 00:06:56,610
where he did way more
drinking than class attending.
88
00:06:58,613 --> 00:07:01,151
Pretty soon, Dick got the boot.
89
00:07:12,460 --> 00:07:14,210
Back then, they would've called
90
00:07:14,211 --> 00:07:16,544
a guy like him a ne'er-do-well.
91
00:07:18,799 --> 00:07:20,884
In today's parlance,
92
00:07:20,885 --> 00:07:22,842
they would just call him a dirtbag.
93
00:07:26,265 --> 00:07:27,551
Man down!
94
00:07:32,521 --> 00:07:33,932
Ooh!
95
00:07:38,235 --> 00:07:40,153
His leg looks like
an Elvis dance move.
96
00:07:42,031 --> 00:07:44,532
Somebody give that poor son
of a bitch a shot of whiskey.
97
00:07:44,533 --> 00:07:46,115
All right, back to work.
98
00:07:47,119 --> 00:07:49,361
I said, back to work.
99
00:07:52,583 --> 00:07:55,418
Take him into town,
put five dollars in his pocket.
100
00:07:55,419 --> 00:07:57,003
Find another man for tomorrow.
101
00:07:57,004 --> 00:07:59,589
Somebody help.
102
00:07:59,590 --> 00:08:01,841
You got a problem, Cheney?
103
00:08:01,842 --> 00:08:03,003
No, sir.
104
00:08:16,524 --> 00:08:17,941
Huh?
105
00:08:17,942 --> 00:08:19,433
Are we becoming friends?
106
00:08:20,653 --> 00:08:22,612
Will you stop touching me?
107
00:08:22,613 --> 00:08:23,863
What?
108
00:08:23,864 --> 00:08:26,408
What are you gonna do
about it, Mr. Yale?
109
00:08:26,409 --> 00:08:28,196
Huh? Whoo!
110
00:08:29,370 --> 00:08:32,455
The fuck you gonna do
about it, Mr. Yale? Come on!
111
00:08:32,456 --> 00:08:33,992
There you go.
112
00:09:05,948 --> 00:09:06,948
Two times.
113
00:09:08,117 --> 00:09:09,909
Two times!
114
00:09:09,910 --> 00:09:11,703
I have to drag you out of that jail
115
00:09:11,704 --> 00:09:15,123
like a filthy hobo.
116
00:09:15,124 --> 00:09:16,332
I'm sorry, Lynne.
117
00:09:16,333 --> 00:09:17,414
What?
118
00:09:19,253 --> 00:09:21,713
What did you just say?
I'm sorry, Lynnie.
119
00:09:21,714 --> 00:09:23,501
You're sorry?
Don't call me "Lynnie."
120
00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:27,717
You're sorry.
121
00:09:30,181 --> 00:09:32,974
One time is "I'm sorry."
122
00:09:32,975 --> 00:09:36,343
Two times makes me think that
I've picked the wrong man.
123
00:09:37,688 --> 00:09:39,856
You already got your ass
thrown out of Yale
124
00:09:39,857 --> 00:09:42,817
for drinking and fighting.
125
00:09:42,818 --> 00:09:44,069
And now you're just going
to be a lush
126
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:45,528
that hangs power lines
for the state?
127
00:09:45,529 --> 00:09:47,030
Are you gonna live in a trailer?
128
00:09:47,031 --> 00:09:48,323
We're gonna have ten kids?
Is that the plan?
129
00:09:48,324 --> 00:09:49,616
Can we discuss
this later, please?
130
00:09:49,617 --> 00:09:50,950
No, we're gonna
discuss this right now
131
00:09:50,951 --> 00:09:52,786
while you smell like vomit
132
00:09:52,787 --> 00:09:53,948
and cheap booze.
133
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:56,998
Does Dick want some coffee?
What?
134
00:09:56,999 --> 00:09:58,666
Mom, get out!
135
00:09:58,667 --> 00:10:00,627
Get out.
"Does Dick want some coffee?"
136
00:10:00,628 --> 00:10:02,540
Jesus Christ!
137
00:10:03,964 --> 00:10:05,421
Okay. Here's my plan.
138
00:10:07,009 --> 00:10:08,009
All right?
139
00:10:09,303 --> 00:10:13,973
Either you stand up straight...
140
00:10:13,974 --> 00:10:16,851
and you get your back straight...
141
00:10:16,852 --> 00:10:19,854
and you have the courage
to become someone,
142
00:10:19,855 --> 00:10:21,272
or I'm gone.
143
00:10:21,273 --> 00:10:22,774
I know a dozen guys
144
00:10:22,775 --> 00:10:24,695
and a few professors at school
who would date me.
145
00:10:25,444 --> 00:10:26,736
I love you, Lynne.
146
00:10:26,737 --> 00:10:27,818
Then prove it!
147
00:10:29,198 --> 00:10:30,609
Prove it!
148
00:10:33,577 --> 00:10:34,658
I can't...
149
00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:38,414
go to a big Ivy League school,
150
00:10:38,415 --> 00:10:41,251
and I can't run a company
or be mayor.
151
00:10:41,252 --> 00:10:43,670
That's just the way
the world is for a girl.
152
00:10:43,671 --> 00:10:44,671
I need you.
153
00:10:45,798 --> 00:10:51,089
And right now you are
a big, fat, piss-soaked zero.
154
00:10:56,684 --> 00:10:59,102
I've... I've seen my mom
Waitin' up all night
155
00:10:59,103 --> 00:11:00,353
for my father to get home.
156
00:11:00,354 --> 00:11:03,106
And I've seen my father
drunk in this house
157
00:11:03,107 --> 00:11:05,191
and raising his voice and way worse,
158
00:11:05,192 --> 00:11:08,361
and I am not dancing
that dance anymore. I'm not.
159
00:11:08,362 --> 00:11:09,944
Do you know why I fuck her?
160
00:11:16,996 --> 00:11:18,032
I'm not.
161
00:11:19,415 --> 00:11:20,656
So can you change?
162
00:11:21,917 --> 00:11:24,910
Can you change,
or am I wasting my goddamn time?
163
00:11:32,469 --> 00:11:34,552
I won't ever
disappoint you again, Lynne.
164
00:13:05,813 --> 00:13:08,731
You were chosen
because of your hard work,
165
00:13:08,732 --> 00:13:10,644
your diligence, and dedication.
166
00:13:11,652 --> 00:13:16,155
Stated simply, you are
America's best and brightest.
167
00:13:20,744 --> 00:13:24,408
So let's go forward and learn
and be of service.
168
00:13:25,833 --> 00:13:27,417
God bless you all
169
00:13:27,418 --> 00:13:31,921
and God bless this great nation.
170
00:13:31,922 --> 00:13:36,217
And now, I'd like to introduce
some... a young man from Illinois
171
00:13:36,218 --> 00:13:37,969
who has done quite well for himself
172
00:13:37,970 --> 00:13:39,387
here in the Capitol.
173
00:13:39,388 --> 00:13:43,141
Representative Donald Rumsfeld.
174
00:13:50,691 --> 00:13:56,446
Did Bob tell you that this
internship is a great honor?
175
00:13:56,447 --> 00:13:57,654
Huh?
176
00:13:59,241 --> 00:14:00,491
Did he?
177
00:14:00,492 --> 00:14:01,608
Huh? Yeah?
178
00:14:02,828 --> 00:14:05,241
Well, it's not.
179
00:14:06,290 --> 00:14:09,000
It's what we called in the Navy
a "shit detail."
180
00:14:10,627 --> 00:14:12,295
Donald Rumsfeld,
181
00:14:12,296 --> 00:14:15,048
or "Rummy," as they called him,
182
00:14:15,049 --> 00:14:18,509
was the former captain of
the Princeton wrestling team
183
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:21,173
and an elite navy-jet pilot.
184
00:14:22,181 --> 00:14:25,224
Most congressmen
use their power like an axe.
185
00:14:25,225 --> 00:14:26,726
Best and brightest.
186
00:14:26,727 --> 00:14:29,896
Rumsfeld, on the
other hand, used his...
187
00:14:29,897 --> 00:14:30,897
Where?
188
00:14:31,940 --> 00:14:34,817
...like a master
of the butterfly knife.
189
00:14:34,818 --> 00:14:37,487
And, like any master,
if you got in his way,
190
00:14:37,488 --> 00:14:39,155
he would cut you.
191
00:14:40,574 --> 00:14:42,992
This can be a great opportunity.
192
00:14:42,993 --> 00:14:45,161
An opportunity to work
193
00:14:45,162 --> 00:14:48,247
in the hallways of decision-making
194
00:14:48,248 --> 00:14:51,116
in the most powerful country
in the goddamn world.
195
00:14:52,169 --> 00:14:53,669
And if that doesn't
give you a hard-on,
196
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:55,296
I don't know what will.
197
00:14:55,297 --> 00:14:59,217
Sorry to the few ladies in the room.
198
00:14:59,218 --> 00:15:02,095
This program didn't used to
have girls, and now it does.
199
00:15:02,096 --> 00:15:04,180
Anyway, I'm Don.
200
00:15:04,181 --> 00:15:05,297
Whatever you do...
201
00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:09,769
don't work for Bob over here.
202
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:12,563
He is the most boring
son of a bitch in D.C.
203
00:15:12,564 --> 00:15:13,645
Isn't that right, Bob?
204
00:15:14,858 --> 00:15:16,275
All right, that's it.
205
00:15:16,276 --> 00:15:18,528
Go get a congressman
a cup of coffee.
206
00:15:18,529 --> 00:15:21,114
And if his wife calls,
he's always in a meeting.
207
00:15:21,115 --> 00:15:23,491
All right, that's it. Scat.
208
00:15:27,913 --> 00:15:29,122
Hey, I'm Alan.
209
00:15:29,123 --> 00:15:30,456
You're the other guy
from the University
210
00:15:30,457 --> 00:15:32,125
of Wisconsin, right?
Right.
211
00:15:32,126 --> 00:15:34,502
Uh, so one of us is
supposed to start
212
00:15:34,503 --> 00:15:36,379
with a Democrat
and the other a Republican.
213
00:15:36,380 --> 00:15:38,673
Do you care
if I go with the Dem?
214
00:15:38,674 --> 00:15:41,132
'Cause I did a lot of work
with the DNC on campus, so...
215
00:15:42,136 --> 00:15:46,347
Um, what party is,
uh, the guy we just heard?
216
00:15:46,348 --> 00:15:48,641
Well, there are three penises
walking down the street.
217
00:15:48,642 --> 00:15:50,101
Yeah, you,
and who are the other two?
218
00:15:50,102 --> 00:15:53,015
Rumsfeld is a Republican.
219
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:57,106
Perfect. 'Cause, uh...
220
00:15:59,153 --> 00:16:00,153
that's what I am.
221
00:16:13,709 --> 00:16:15,996
Don't lurk.
Come in, damn it.
222
00:16:17,629 --> 00:16:21,924
Um, Dick Cheney,
reporting for work.
223
00:16:21,925 --> 00:16:23,426
You're congressional relations
224
00:16:23,427 --> 00:16:25,470
for my Office of
Economic Opportunity,
225
00:16:25,471 --> 00:16:27,430
and you will assist me in my job
226
00:16:27,431 --> 00:16:28,717
as counselor to the president.
227
00:16:30,809 --> 00:16:31,809
Right.
228
00:16:33,312 --> 00:16:34,604
Jesus Christ, you want me
229
00:16:34,605 --> 00:16:35,980
to pin your mittens to your sleeves
230
00:16:35,981 --> 00:16:37,023
so you don't fuckin' lose 'em?
231
00:16:37,024 --> 00:16:38,140
Go.
Yes, sir.
232
00:16:39,151 --> 00:16:42,320
Oh, and Cheney, your two DUIs
came up on your transcript.
233
00:16:42,321 --> 00:16:43,863
Don't worry.
I vouched for you.
234
00:16:43,864 --> 00:16:45,281
Thank you, sir.
235
00:16:45,282 --> 00:16:46,866
No, thanks are when
your neighbor Dottie
236
00:16:46,867 --> 00:16:48,574
pulls your pud for the first time.
237
00:16:50,204 --> 00:16:51,621
You owe me.
238
00:16:51,622 --> 00:16:53,113
Yes, sir.
Go!
239
00:16:56,168 --> 00:16:58,878
The first thing our department did
240
00:16:58,879 --> 00:17:02,131
was to conduct a sweeping audit
241
00:17:02,132 --> 00:17:06,052
at the population distribution
across the nation.
242
00:17:06,053 --> 00:17:07,845
You will see that
243
00:17:07,846 --> 00:17:10,181
the Office of Economic
Opportunity benefits...
244
00:17:10,182 --> 00:17:12,350
You're Rumsfeld's lackey, right?
245
00:17:12,351 --> 00:17:13,935
Make sure he sees this.
246
00:17:13,936 --> 00:17:15,811
We got to get that
on Nixon's desk, huh?
247
00:17:15,812 --> 00:17:18,981
Roger Ailes,
founder of Fox News.
248
00:17:18,982 --> 00:17:21,692
He first pitched the idea
as Conservative News
249
00:17:21,693 --> 00:17:24,278
when he worked for Nixon
as a media consultant.
250
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:26,322
Hey, Don.
251
00:17:26,323 --> 00:17:28,908
Roger wants Nixon to start
a Republican news TV network.
252
00:17:28,909 --> 00:17:32,537
Forget it. Roger knows TV,
but he doesn't know politics.
253
00:17:32,538 --> 00:17:35,081
So I would do this
flaming baton trick
254
00:17:35,082 --> 00:17:38,334
And Dick would wait backstage
with a bucket of water.
255
00:17:38,335 --> 00:17:39,669
So I'm at the state finals,
256
00:17:39,670 --> 00:17:41,754
and I throw up the baton, and...
257
00:17:41,755 --> 00:17:43,089
it doesn't come down.
258
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,843
Cheney! Oh.
Where did you find her?
259
00:17:47,844 --> 00:17:49,637
It is doing
nothing but damage
260
00:17:49,638 --> 00:17:52,390
to our private health
care institutions.
261
00:17:52,391 --> 00:17:54,642
But I still got second place.
262
00:17:54,643 --> 00:17:56,561
White families. Males.
263
00:17:56,562 --> 00:17:58,563
Women. Hispanics. Minorities...
264
00:17:58,564 --> 00:17:59,930
You're quiet. I like that.
265
00:18:00,983 --> 00:18:04,026
You don't go blabbing about
what cards you have.
266
00:18:04,027 --> 00:18:06,519
I missed my flush draw
about a month ago,
267
00:18:07,573 --> 00:18:10,408
but everybody still seems
to think I have pocket kings
268
00:18:10,409 --> 00:18:11,951
except maybe fucking Haldeman.
269
00:18:11,952 --> 00:18:14,495
Oh, I mostly play Hearts,
so I'm not...
270
00:18:14,496 --> 00:18:16,330
No, no, no.
271
00:18:16,331 --> 00:18:18,207
For a man
like Donald Rumsfeld,
272
00:18:18,208 --> 00:18:22,044
he only wanted three things
from his lackey.
273
00:18:22,045 --> 00:18:24,253
He had to keep his mouth shut.
274
00:18:25,549 --> 00:18:26,915
Do what he was told.
275
00:18:28,552 --> 00:18:32,096
And always, always be loyal.
276
00:18:32,097 --> 00:18:33,806
What it means is Nixon likes me,
277
00:18:33,807 --> 00:18:34,974
but his circle hates me.
278
00:18:34,975 --> 00:18:36,183
No, I'm sure that's not true.
279
00:18:36,184 --> 00:18:37,935
So, what's it gonna be?
280
00:18:37,936 --> 00:18:39,770
Is it a "yes" or a "no"?
281
00:18:39,771 --> 00:18:41,647
It's a "yes."
282
00:18:41,648 --> 00:18:43,441
You don't even know
what the question is, do you?
283
00:18:43,442 --> 00:18:47,028
I'm assuming it's to...
No, no, no. It's okay.
284
00:18:47,029 --> 00:18:48,863
That's exactly the kinda "yes"
I was looking for.
285
00:18:48,864 --> 00:18:51,866
Cheney had always
been a so-so student
286
00:18:51,867 --> 00:18:53,618
and a mediocre athlete.
287
00:18:53,619 --> 00:18:58,456
But now, finally, he had found
his life's calling.
288
00:18:58,457 --> 00:19:03,753
He would be a dedicated
and humble servant to power.
289
00:19:03,754 --> 00:19:04,874
Here's your new office.
290
00:19:05,756 --> 00:19:07,214
No windows, but all you'd see
291
00:19:07,215 --> 00:19:09,252
are a bunch of hippies
flipping off Nixon.
292
00:19:10,886 --> 00:19:12,047
All right, then.
293
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,142
Now, at this point,
294
00:19:18,143 --> 00:19:21,602
you're probably wondering
who exactly I am.
295
00:19:22,981 --> 00:19:24,815
Well, let me introduce myself.
296
00:19:24,816 --> 00:19:26,442
My name is Kurt.
297
00:19:26,443 --> 00:19:29,528
My favorite football team
is the Steelers,
298
00:19:29,529 --> 00:19:33,199
and me and my son,
we love SpongeBob.
299
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,867
And if you're wondering how I know
300
00:19:34,868 --> 00:19:37,453
so much about Dick Cheney,
301
00:19:37,454 --> 00:19:41,248
well, let's just say
we're kind of related.
302
00:19:41,249 --> 00:19:42,740
We'll get to that later.
303
00:19:46,672 --> 00:19:47,880
The Rifleman!
304
00:19:54,012 --> 00:19:55,304
- Hello?
- Lynnie,
305
00:19:55,305 --> 00:19:57,012
guess where I'm calling from.
306
00:19:59,726 --> 00:20:02,059
I am so proud of you
right now, Dick Cheney.
307
00:20:03,105 --> 00:20:05,939
I knew I picked the right man.
I knew it even when I didn't.
308
00:20:08,110 --> 00:20:09,772
We did it.
309
00:20:10,821 --> 00:20:13,114
Have you seen Nixon? Hmm?
310
00:20:13,115 --> 00:20:15,491
Hmm? Hmm?
311
00:20:15,492 --> 00:20:18,035
I did. I met him.
I shook his hand.
312
00:20:18,036 --> 00:20:21,247
Oh, my gosh.
And he called you
313
00:20:21,248 --> 00:20:23,040
He gave me that, uh...
By name, like he actually...
314
00:20:23,041 --> 00:20:24,748
...that impish smile of his.
315
00:20:25,752 --> 00:20:27,628
I got to pinch myself.
316
00:20:29,464 --> 00:20:31,090
Pardon my French.
317
00:20:31,091 --> 00:20:35,177
It is the best fucking feeling
in the world.
318
00:20:35,178 --> 00:20:38,431
I can only imagine.
I am so proud of you.
319
00:20:38,432 --> 00:20:40,683
I love you.
We are proud of you.
320
00:20:40,684 --> 00:20:42,518
Your girls are proud of you.
Are you proud of your daddy?
321
00:20:42,519 --> 00:20:44,145
Yes.
322
00:20:44,146 --> 00:20:45,938
Can you say you're proud
of your daddy?
323
00:20:45,939 --> 00:20:47,356
My daddy.
324
00:20:47,357 --> 00:20:48,649
You're proud
of your daddy.
325
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:50,359
Oh, my goodness.
326
00:21:08,670 --> 00:21:10,254
Dick Cheney's office.
327
00:21:10,255 --> 00:21:13,758
So, now that I'm not
just flipping cards,
328
00:21:13,759 --> 00:21:15,259
I have a few ideas.
329
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:16,260
Stop.
330
00:21:17,262 --> 00:21:18,262
See that door?
331
00:21:19,347 --> 00:21:21,390
To Kissinger's office?
332
00:21:21,391 --> 00:21:22,391
That's right.
333
00:21:23,310 --> 00:21:25,186
I happen to know that Nixon
is in there right now.
334
00:21:25,187 --> 00:21:26,896
Now, why would Nixon
335
00:21:26,897 --> 00:21:28,939
not be meeting Kissinger
in the Oval Office?
336
00:21:28,940 --> 00:21:30,149
He's having
a conversation
337
00:21:30,150 --> 00:21:31,442
he doesn't want to go
on the record?
338
00:21:31,443 --> 00:21:32,985
Very good.
339
00:21:32,986 --> 00:21:34,397
What is the conversation?
340
00:21:35,655 --> 00:21:36,989
We're going to bomb Cambodia.
341
00:21:36,990 --> 00:21:38,699
Well, that's impossible.
342
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:40,284
That needs approval by Congress.
343
00:21:40,285 --> 00:21:41,911
I'm over there every day.
344
00:21:41,912 --> 00:21:43,913
Oh, fuck Congress.
Unless you're in it.
345
00:21:43,914 --> 00:21:46,457
Then it's the greatest
deliberative body on earth.
346
00:21:46,458 --> 00:21:48,250
But we're not, so fuck it.
347
00:21:48,251 --> 00:21:50,127
But didn't the president
campaign on ending the...
348
00:21:50,128 --> 00:21:51,960
Listen to me, listen to me.
349
00:21:53,548 --> 00:21:55,049
Because of the discussion
350
00:21:55,050 --> 00:21:56,842
that Nixon and Kissinger
are having right now
351
00:21:56,843 --> 00:21:58,761
behind that door
352
00:21:58,762 --> 00:22:00,554
five feet away from us,
353
00:22:00,555 --> 00:22:03,224
in a couple of days,
10,000 miles away,
354
00:22:03,225 --> 00:22:05,768
a rain of 750-pound bombs
355
00:22:05,769 --> 00:22:07,645
dropped from B-52s
356
00:22:07,646 --> 00:22:09,146
at 20,000 feet,
357
00:22:09,147 --> 00:22:12,140
will hit villages and towns
all across Cambodia.
358
00:22:13,693 --> 00:22:14,774
Thousands will die.
359
00:22:16,071 --> 00:22:18,529
And the world will change,
for better or worse.
360
00:22:26,957 --> 00:22:28,791
That is the kind of
power that exists
361
00:22:28,792 --> 00:22:30,658
in this squat little ugly building.
362
00:22:32,504 --> 00:22:35,247
Screw Kissinger.
He's overrated. Let's go.
363
00:22:40,929 --> 00:22:42,638
So, what are we...
364
00:22:42,639 --> 00:22:45,140
Um, you know, I mean...
Spit it out.
365
00:22:45,141 --> 00:22:47,059
What are you trying to say?
Are we against spending?
366
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:48,060
What do we believe?
367
00:22:49,145 --> 00:22:50,431
What do we believe?
368
00:23:01,408 --> 00:23:03,075
"What do we believe?"
369
00:23:03,076 --> 00:23:06,245
Oh. That's very good.
370
00:23:06,246 --> 00:23:07,830
"What do we believe?"
371
00:23:15,088 --> 00:23:17,250
Oh, shit!
372
00:23:25,473 --> 00:23:26,849
Like that,
through there.
373
00:23:26,850 --> 00:23:28,559
- You wanna try?
- Yeah.
374
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,311
You find out
what the fish want.
375
00:23:30,312 --> 00:23:32,521
In this case, it's a worm.
376
00:23:32,522 --> 00:23:35,524
And then, uh,
we use it to catch him.
377
00:23:35,525 --> 00:23:36,609
Look it. Look it.
378
00:23:36,610 --> 00:23:38,319
Dada. Dada, look.
379
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:39,695
The family gets to eat.
380
00:23:39,696 --> 00:23:42,313
Is it a good trick
we're playing, for the worms?
381
00:23:43,366 --> 00:23:45,358
It's not good or bad.
It's fishing.
382
00:23:46,494 --> 00:23:48,120
I don't want this one hurt.
383
00:23:48,121 --> 00:23:49,830
Dick had taken a job
384
00:23:49,831 --> 00:23:53,292
as a political consultant
for a large financial firm,
385
00:23:53,293 --> 00:23:55,410
where he was finally
making good money.
386
00:23:56,421 --> 00:23:59,465
He took the job
because Nixon's inner circle
387
00:23:59,466 --> 00:24:02,092
had had enough of Donald Rumsfeld.
388
00:24:02,093 --> 00:24:03,844
I'm out.
389
00:24:03,845 --> 00:24:05,512
They're sending me to Brussels.
390
00:24:05,513 --> 00:24:07,097
What?
391
00:24:07,098 --> 00:24:11,393
Nixon is making me
permanent ambassador to NATO.
392
00:24:11,394 --> 00:24:12,895
Or as he called it...
393
00:24:12,896 --> 00:24:14,480
It's a fuck-off assignment.
394
00:24:14,481 --> 00:24:15,773
Kissinger and Haldeman won.
395
00:24:15,774 --> 00:24:17,232
Why don't you come with me?
396
00:24:17,233 --> 00:24:21,153
I got a four and a
seven-year-old, Don.
397
00:24:21,154 --> 00:24:22,905
Tell Don we are not moving
398
00:24:22,906 --> 00:24:25,115
just because everyone
at the White House hates him.
399
00:24:25,116 --> 00:24:26,450
Good boy!
400
00:24:26,451 --> 00:24:28,619
I taught you well these past
couple of years.
401
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:29,781
I'm sorry, Don.
402
00:24:32,165 --> 00:24:33,374
I really am.
403
00:24:33,375 --> 00:24:34,500
Don't worry.
404
00:24:34,501 --> 00:24:36,210
I'm like bedbugs.
405
00:24:36,211 --> 00:24:38,379
You'll have to burn the mattress
to get rid of me.
406
00:24:39,965 --> 00:24:42,466
Dick was becoming
sharper and sharper
407
00:24:42,467 --> 00:24:44,510
as a D.C. insider.
408
00:24:44,511 --> 00:24:47,179
And Lynne had started
to write articles
409
00:24:47,180 --> 00:24:49,473
and explore ideas
for her first novel.
410
00:24:49,474 --> 00:24:50,635
Dick.
411
00:24:51,977 --> 00:24:52,977
Dick.
412
00:24:54,229 --> 00:24:58,732
Then she received news
from back home in Casper.
413
00:25:04,030 --> 00:25:05,489
The Lord
is my shepherd.
414
00:25:05,490 --> 00:25:06,615
I shall not want.
415
00:25:06,616 --> 00:25:08,117
Lynne's mother Edna,
416
00:25:08,118 --> 00:25:10,661
who had avoided the
water her whole life,
417
00:25:10,662 --> 00:25:13,956
was found drowned
in the local Casper lake.
418
00:25:13,957 --> 00:25:15,416
...paths of righteousness.
419
00:25:15,417 --> 00:25:18,085
They said her
and Wayne, Lynne's dad,
420
00:25:18,086 --> 00:25:21,213
had had a nasty argument
an hour before.
421
00:25:21,214 --> 00:25:22,500
She doesn't swim, Dick.
422
00:25:23,591 --> 00:25:25,926
My mother doesn't swim.
What happened?
423
00:25:25,927 --> 00:25:29,179
She never swam.
I don't... I don't know.
424
00:25:29,180 --> 00:25:30,887
She just never swims, and then...
425
00:25:32,308 --> 00:25:34,935
There was never
a serious investigation
426
00:25:34,936 --> 00:25:37,062
into Lynne's mom's death.
427
00:25:37,063 --> 00:25:39,064
You wanna see me do
a handstand right here?
428
00:25:39,065 --> 00:25:42,401
No. Don't. Dad. Dad.
I can do it right here.
429
00:25:42,402 --> 00:25:43,944
They're getting so big.
430
00:25:43,945 --> 00:25:45,571
You're gonna
be all right, Dad.
431
00:25:45,572 --> 00:25:47,072
Yeah. Yeah.
They're big girls.
432
00:25:47,073 --> 00:25:48,323
God, Dad...
433
00:25:48,324 --> 00:25:49,950
So listen,
after this we should...
434
00:25:49,951 --> 00:25:51,452
What should we do?
Should we go get some food?
435
00:25:51,453 --> 00:25:52,494
Girls...
436
00:25:52,495 --> 00:25:53,746
Dick, they were saying maybe...
437
00:25:53,747 --> 00:25:55,158
Why don't you go to the car?
438
00:25:56,833 --> 00:25:59,951
Come on, girls, let's listen
to your father, all right?
439
00:26:07,552 --> 00:26:11,305
They're gettin' so beautiful, Dick.
It's amazing.
440
00:26:11,306 --> 00:26:12,422
Mmm.
Just...
441
00:26:16,061 --> 00:26:18,394
You catching any fish?
442
00:26:25,070 --> 00:26:26,231
How are you, Dick?
443
00:26:28,948 --> 00:26:30,439
Things going good in D.C.?
444
00:26:33,453 --> 00:26:36,446
Don't ever go near my daughters
or my wife again.
445
00:26:45,882 --> 00:26:46,918
Hmm.
446
00:26:55,225 --> 00:26:56,306
Big shot!
447
00:26:57,644 --> 00:26:59,636
"Big shot in D.C." Dick.
448
00:27:08,822 --> 00:27:09,858
Sir?
449
00:27:12,117 --> 00:27:13,659
Thanks.
Mm-hmm.
450
00:27:28,049 --> 00:27:30,342
So, uh, what do you got?
451
00:27:30,343 --> 00:27:31,343
Page eight.
452
00:27:36,516 --> 00:27:38,517
Hassan Mustafa Nasr,
453
00:27:38,518 --> 00:27:40,510
a cleric based in Milan, Italy.
454
00:27:41,563 --> 00:27:44,398
He's a member of
Al-Gama'a Al-Islamiyya,
455
00:27:44,399 --> 00:27:46,275
the group that killed Anwar Sadat.
456
00:27:46,276 --> 00:27:48,235
That's the blind sheikh, right?
457
00:27:48,236 --> 00:27:49,862
There's some
debate at Langley
458
00:27:49,863 --> 00:27:52,906
on whether they're a threat or not.
459
00:27:52,907 --> 00:27:54,443
They claim to be peaceful now.
460
00:27:56,327 --> 00:27:59,413
I claim to be eating healthy.
461
00:28:09,382 --> 00:28:10,418
Okay.
462
00:28:11,843 --> 00:28:13,004
Go pick him up.
463
00:28:38,536 --> 00:28:39,652
What's the next name?
464
00:28:41,331 --> 00:28:42,873
Well,
Mr. Vice President,
465
00:28:42,874 --> 00:28:46,460
there's been some chatter
about, uh, uh...
466
00:28:46,461 --> 00:28:49,129
an engineering student
from Berlin...
467
00:28:49,130 --> 00:28:51,543
I have never
been a quitter.
468
00:28:52,842 --> 00:28:55,052
To leave office before
my term is completed
469
00:28:55,053 --> 00:28:57,887
is abhorrent to every
instinct in my body.
470
00:29:00,225 --> 00:29:02,059
But as president...
471
00:29:02,060 --> 00:29:05,303
I must put the interests
of America first.
472
00:29:07,273 --> 00:29:10,359
America needs a full-time president.
473
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,444
Nixon forgot about
the voice-activated recorders.
474
00:29:14,697 --> 00:29:16,323
He got sloppy.
475
00:29:16,324 --> 00:29:18,116
Is the president
being punished?
476
00:29:18,117 --> 00:29:20,869
No, no. The president has
a lot of enemies.
477
00:29:20,870 --> 00:29:22,996
Brussels, please.
478
00:29:22,997 --> 00:29:25,749
You need to remember, Lizzie...
479
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:28,168
The fight in the months ahead
for my personal vindication...
480
00:29:28,169 --> 00:29:31,088
...that if you have power, people
will always try to take it from you.
481
00:29:31,089 --> 00:29:32,250
Always.
482
00:29:33,258 --> 00:29:34,466
Yeah.
Yes, ma'am.
483
00:29:34,467 --> 00:29:36,510
You remember that.
484
00:29:36,511 --> 00:29:37,678
Donald Rumsfeld, please.
485
00:29:37,679 --> 00:29:40,472
This is a tragedy.
486
00:29:40,473 --> 00:29:41,932
That is our president.
487
00:29:41,933 --> 00:29:43,433
This is ridiculous.
488
00:29:43,434 --> 00:29:47,929
I actually think this could be
very, very good news.
489
00:29:52,193 --> 00:29:55,737
The way I see it,
any Republican not touched
490
00:29:55,738 --> 00:29:58,282
by Watergate is golden right now.
491
00:29:58,283 --> 00:30:01,618
Nice. Well, Ford called me
before my plane took off,
492
00:30:01,619 --> 00:30:02,655
and I think we're in.
493
00:30:03,663 --> 00:30:06,665
Oh, still driving this
chick magnet, huh?
494
00:30:06,666 --> 00:30:07,958
You can always take the bus.
495
00:30:07,959 --> 00:30:09,040
Therefore...
496
00:30:10,211 --> 00:30:11,837
I shall resign the presidency,
497
00:30:11,838 --> 00:30:13,329
effective at noon tomorrow.
498
00:30:14,882 --> 00:30:17,968
Vice President Ford will be sworn in
499
00:30:17,969 --> 00:30:19,928
as president at that hour...
500
00:30:19,929 --> 00:30:21,430
So what's the plan?
501
00:30:21,431 --> 00:30:25,596
Well, the plan is to take over
the damn place.
502
00:30:26,728 --> 00:30:28,520
Who lit a
fire under your ass?
503
00:30:28,521 --> 00:30:30,601
I haven't flipped cards
for a long time, Don.
504
00:30:37,071 --> 00:30:40,815
They gave me the keys
to the damn palace.
505
00:30:42,785 --> 00:30:43,992
Chief of Staff.
506
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:46,997
Holy shit.
507
00:30:46,998 --> 00:30:49,875
You salty son of a bitch.
508
00:30:49,876 --> 00:30:51,418
You did it.
509
00:30:51,419 --> 00:30:54,004
All right, we have work to do.
510
00:30:54,005 --> 00:30:56,793
Kissinger is trying to kiss
and make up with the Soviets.
511
00:30:57,842 --> 00:31:01,631
Well, let's make sure
that shit doesn't happen.
512
00:31:05,933 --> 00:31:07,014
Yeah.
513
00:31:14,984 --> 00:31:18,695
If I may, I believe
I may have a way
514
00:31:18,696 --> 00:31:21,490
to put an oar in
the water on Russia.
515
00:31:21,491 --> 00:31:23,742
What if we create...
516
00:31:23,743 --> 00:31:27,496
Mr. President.
Hold on, Henry, let's hear Dick out.
517
00:31:27,497 --> 00:31:30,499
One of Dick Cheney's
special superpowers
518
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:32,334
was the ability to make
519
00:31:32,335 --> 00:31:35,420
the most wild and extreme ideas
520
00:31:35,421 --> 00:31:38,298
sound measured and professional.
521
00:31:38,299 --> 00:31:40,717
What if, on a unilateral basis,
522
00:31:40,718 --> 00:31:44,388
we all put miniature wigs
on our penises
523
00:31:44,389 --> 00:31:47,933
and we walked out
to the White House lawn
524
00:31:47,934 --> 00:31:49,559
and jerked each other off?
525
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,189
So, like a puppet show,
but much more enjoyable.
526
00:31:54,190 --> 00:31:57,150
Hmm. I do like a good puppet show.
527
00:31:57,151 --> 00:31:59,319
I say we do it.
528
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,363
Henry Kissinger
has been relieved
529
00:32:01,364 --> 00:32:02,823
as national security advisor
530
00:32:02,824 --> 00:32:04,866
and replaced by Brent Scowcroft.
531
00:32:06,786 --> 00:32:09,663
They're calling
it the Halloween Massacre.
532
00:32:09,664 --> 00:32:11,039
Mr. President.
Hold on, Henry.
533
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,666
Donald Rumsfeld has replaced
534
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:14,835
Secretary of Defense
James Schlesinger.
535
00:32:14,836 --> 00:32:16,545
And Dick Cheney
has been chosen as the...
536
00:32:16,546 --> 00:32:18,296
Youngest Chief of Staff in history.
537
00:32:18,297 --> 00:32:20,257
- It's amazing. It's a dream.
- It's real.
538
00:32:21,551 --> 00:32:25,470
And Don is the youngest
Secretary of Defense ever.
539
00:32:25,471 --> 00:32:27,264
Well, I'm not talking about Don.
540
00:32:27,265 --> 00:32:28,847
I'm talking about you.
541
00:32:30,726 --> 00:32:32,644
And I'm going to give you
542
00:32:32,645 --> 00:32:34,682
a kiss right here
in the White House.
543
00:32:36,315 --> 00:32:38,316
Excuse me,
Mr. and Mrs. Cheney,
544
00:32:38,317 --> 00:32:40,235
these girls were trying
to enter the Oval Office.
545
00:32:40,236 --> 00:32:42,863
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
546
00:32:42,864 --> 00:32:45,657
Girls...
Hey. Hey, there. Hey, you!
547
00:32:45,658 --> 00:32:48,201
Girls, this is not a playground.
Please do not...
548
00:32:48,202 --> 00:32:50,036
Hey, you. Hey.
549
00:32:50,037 --> 00:32:52,199
Is this where Santa lives?
550
00:32:53,499 --> 00:32:55,707
It's even better.
It's even better.
551
00:32:56,836 --> 00:32:59,044
This is where...
552
00:33:00,339 --> 00:33:03,508
the leader of the greatest nation
553
00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:05,427
on earth lives.
554
00:33:05,428 --> 00:33:06,720
Are you one of his elves, Daddy?
555
00:33:06,721 --> 00:33:08,263
In a way, yes.
556
00:33:08,264 --> 00:33:10,182
No, he is not, Mary.
557
00:33:10,183 --> 00:33:12,851
Your father is Chief of Staff.
558
00:33:12,852 --> 00:33:14,639
Chief of Staff.
559
00:33:15,855 --> 00:33:16,938
If you're silly with her,
560
00:33:16,939 --> 00:33:18,356
she'll grow up to be a silly woman.
561
00:33:18,357 --> 00:33:21,359
Right, of course.
I forgot.
562
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,280
That's just, uh...
That's just silly, Mary.
563
00:33:25,281 --> 00:33:27,574
And as the
new Chief of Staff,
564
00:33:27,575 --> 00:33:30,535
and with the presidency weakened
by Watergate,
565
00:33:30,536 --> 00:33:32,245
Dick Cheney wanted to find out
566
00:33:32,246 --> 00:33:35,540
exactly how much power
did the president have.
567
00:33:35,541 --> 00:33:37,908
I would like to reinstate
executive authority.
568
00:33:39,003 --> 00:33:40,128
How?
569
00:33:40,129 --> 00:33:42,047
Antonin Scalia,
570
00:33:42,048 --> 00:33:43,965
a young lawyer
with the Justice Department
571
00:33:43,966 --> 00:33:46,718
who would later go on
to serve on the Supreme Court
572
00:33:46,719 --> 00:33:48,261
rocked Dick's world.
573
00:33:48,262 --> 00:33:49,763
Interesting you should ask.
574
00:33:49,764 --> 00:33:51,848
Are you familiar with the theory
575
00:33:51,849 --> 00:33:53,475
of the unitary executive?
576
00:33:53,476 --> 00:33:55,060
No. Tell me about it.
577
00:33:55,061 --> 00:33:56,520
Uh, it is an interpretation
578
00:33:56,521 --> 00:33:58,522
that few, like myself,
happen to believe,
579
00:33:58,523 --> 00:34:00,273
in Article II of the Constitution
580
00:34:00,274 --> 00:34:02,067
that vests the president
581
00:34:02,068 --> 00:34:04,355
with absolute executive authority.
582
00:34:05,530 --> 00:34:06,941
And I mean absolute.
583
00:34:19,835 --> 00:34:21,419
Hey, baby?
Yep?
584
00:34:21,420 --> 00:34:23,036
You wanna take Cole
to the high chair?
585
00:34:24,090 --> 00:34:25,382
Come on, buddy.
586
00:34:25,383 --> 00:34:26,841
I've got to try and explain
587
00:34:26,842 --> 00:34:28,426
this thing to the people.
588
00:34:28,427 --> 00:34:30,512
Oh, aren't you hungry?
589
00:34:30,513 --> 00:34:32,430
The unitary...
590
00:34:32,431 --> 00:34:33,932
executive...
591
00:34:33,933 --> 00:34:35,141
theory.
592
00:34:35,142 --> 00:34:37,602
Certain legal scholars believe that
593
00:34:37,603 --> 00:34:39,854
if the president does anything,
594
00:34:39,855 --> 00:34:41,189
it must be legal,
595
00:34:41,190 --> 00:34:43,024
because it's the president.
596
00:34:43,025 --> 00:34:45,402
To hell with checks and balances,
597
00:34:45,403 --> 00:34:47,611
especially during times of war.
598
00:34:48,614 --> 00:34:54,035
This was the power of kings,
pharaohs, dictators.
599
00:34:54,036 --> 00:34:55,537
- This is perfect.
- Mm-hmm.
600
00:34:55,538 --> 00:34:57,831
Dick Cheney was
a foot soldier
601
00:34:57,832 --> 00:35:00,875
in the power games
of Washington, D.C.
602
00:35:00,876 --> 00:35:03,962
But with the unitary
executive theory,
603
00:35:03,963 --> 00:35:05,505
he could become...
604
00:35:05,506 --> 00:35:09,045
Galactus, Devourer of Planets.
605
00:35:10,886 --> 00:35:13,972
But then it was election night,
606
00:35:13,973 --> 00:35:15,599
and there was one big problem.
607
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,810
The winner,
with 272 electoral votes...
608
00:35:18,811 --> 00:35:20,186
we had wondered which one of us
609
00:35:20,187 --> 00:35:21,313
was going to make this announcement.
610
00:35:21,314 --> 00:35:24,149
James Earl Carter,
611
00:35:24,150 --> 00:35:25,734
the next president
of the United States.
612
00:35:25,735 --> 00:35:29,738
And just like that,
it was all over.
613
00:35:29,739 --> 00:35:32,449
Dick Cheney,
the president's Chief of Staff,
614
00:35:32,450 --> 00:35:34,200
he does not have a job.
615
00:35:34,201 --> 00:35:35,744
At one point, he was a broker.
616
00:35:35,745 --> 00:35:37,412
It can't be. It's got to be
some sort of a mistake.
617
00:35:37,413 --> 00:35:39,450
A miscalculation.
There goes the neighborhood.
618
00:35:42,168 --> 00:35:43,168
Well...
619
00:35:45,087 --> 00:35:46,838
thank you all.
620
00:35:46,839 --> 00:35:49,382
The Republicans
have lost the presidency.
621
00:35:49,383 --> 00:35:51,718
They are the minority in
Congress and in most states.
622
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,054
With America demanding change,
I don't see...
623
00:35:54,055 --> 00:35:56,264
The GOP is
a party in disarray.
624
00:35:56,265 --> 00:35:58,475
Clearly, Watergate,
the Vietnam War...
625
00:35:58,476 --> 00:35:59,726
President Carter went up
626
00:35:59,727 --> 00:36:01,269
on the roof of the White House today
627
00:36:01,270 --> 00:36:03,438
to show off the new
solar water heaters
628
00:36:03,439 --> 00:36:04,898
installed there.
629
00:36:04,899 --> 00:36:06,608
Today, in
directly harnessing
630
00:36:06,609 --> 00:36:08,026
the power of the sun,
we are taking
631
00:36:08,027 --> 00:36:10,362
the energy that God gave us,
632
00:36:10,363 --> 00:36:14,199
the most renewable energy
that we will ever see,
633
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,618
and using it to replace
our dwindling supplies
634
00:36:16,619 --> 00:36:18,030
of fossil fuels.
635
00:36:19,664 --> 00:36:20,955
There is no longer any question
636
00:36:20,956 --> 00:36:23,333
that solar energy
637
00:36:23,334 --> 00:36:26,668
is both feasible and
also cost-effective.
638
00:36:47,525 --> 00:36:49,150
...went on to be
Secretary of Defense.
639
00:36:49,151 --> 00:36:52,070
Al Haig, who became Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe,
640
00:36:52,071 --> 00:36:55,281
and, uh, Bob Haldeman,
who is doing time
641
00:36:55,282 --> 00:36:57,659
in a California penitentiary.
642
00:36:57,660 --> 00:36:59,160
Well, not me. Not me, sir.
643
00:36:59,161 --> 00:37:02,706
I... I will become
the gentleman from Wyoming.
644
00:37:02,707 --> 00:37:05,166
Most of all, and hear this,
645
00:37:05,167 --> 00:37:07,502
uh, taxes must go down.
646
00:37:07,503 --> 00:37:09,546
I'll say it again,
taxes must go down.
647
00:37:09,547 --> 00:37:11,589
- Talk. Talk.
- We must ameliorate
648
00:37:11,590 --> 00:37:13,591
the pain of taxes
for the working man
649
00:37:13,592 --> 00:37:15,635
and bring, uh...
650
00:37:15,636 --> 00:37:18,263
perspicacity to the fore.
651
00:37:18,264 --> 00:37:22,142
I'm as much a Wyomingite,
our, uh, demonym...
652
00:37:22,143 --> 00:37:24,185
Blah, blah, blah.
653
00:37:24,186 --> 00:37:26,396
Thank God for name recognition.
654
00:37:26,397 --> 00:37:28,064
...as Jedediah Smith.
655
00:37:28,065 --> 00:37:30,150
Well, um, enough
of the horsing around.
656
00:37:30,151 --> 00:37:33,737
Although that is, of course,
what, uh, us cowboys do.
657
00:37:33,738 --> 00:37:34,774
Um...
658
00:37:35,990 --> 00:37:39,409
Uh, vote for Cheney for Congress.
659
00:37:39,410 --> 00:37:42,162
I will not let you down,
you can count on me.
660
00:37:42,163 --> 00:37:43,747
And, uh, thank you.
661
00:37:43,748 --> 00:37:48,084
Vote for, uh, Cheney in Congress.
662
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,582
Either he drinks next time or I do.
663
00:37:53,549 --> 00:37:55,216
Yeah...
664
00:37:55,217 --> 00:37:56,843
I don't want anyone to panic,
665
00:37:56,844 --> 00:38:01,839
but, uh, I do believe
I have to go to the hospital.
666
00:38:03,267 --> 00:38:04,267
Now.
667
00:38:14,278 --> 00:38:17,572
It's an
inferior wall infarct.
668
00:38:17,573 --> 00:38:19,860
But that...
that can be fixed, right?
669
00:38:20,868 --> 00:38:22,076
If it was up to me,
670
00:38:22,077 --> 00:38:23,409
you'd drop out of the election.
671
00:38:25,581 --> 00:38:26,706
But you've both made that clear
672
00:38:26,707 --> 00:38:28,500
that it's not an option,
673
00:38:28,501 --> 00:38:31,878
so you must have a minimum
of two weeks bed rest.
674
00:38:31,879 --> 00:38:34,172
Two weeks off,
we'll lose our lead.
675
00:38:34,173 --> 00:38:35,380
Like hell we will.
676
00:38:36,425 --> 00:38:37,801
Dick Cheney
has an illness,
677
00:38:37,802 --> 00:38:40,053
so he can't be here today.
678
00:38:40,054 --> 00:38:43,593
But we got his wife,
and she's a darn pretty girl.
679
00:38:44,725 --> 00:38:46,267
Lynne Cheney!
680
00:38:48,270 --> 00:38:49,771
Hello...
681
00:38:49,772 --> 00:38:51,940
Hello, how are you today?
682
00:38:51,941 --> 00:38:53,316
Good, good, good to hear.
683
00:38:53,317 --> 00:38:57,403
Uh, it's really nice to be back
in my home state.
684
00:38:57,404 --> 00:39:01,032
See, I grew up in Wyoming,
but it seems that, uh,
685
00:39:01,033 --> 00:39:03,201
somewhere along the line,
686
00:39:03,202 --> 00:39:05,119
Washington, D.C. stopped listening
687
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,038
to real folks like us
688
00:39:07,039 --> 00:39:10,625
and started only listening
to liberal snobs
689
00:39:10,626 --> 00:39:12,585
who want us all to lose our jobs
690
00:39:12,586 --> 00:39:14,254
to affirmative action.
691
00:39:14,255 --> 00:39:15,255
Mm-hmm.
692
00:39:16,632 --> 00:39:17,924
Okay, Lynne. Let's...
693
00:39:19,426 --> 00:39:20,507
That's right.
694
00:39:21,929 --> 00:39:24,722
You know,
I went to New York City.
695
00:39:24,723 --> 00:39:27,350
Women in New York City
are burning their bras.
696
00:39:29,186 --> 00:39:31,396
Well, you know what women
in Wyoming do with our bras?
697
00:39:31,397 --> 00:39:33,606
We wear them.
698
00:39:33,607 --> 00:39:36,818
We wear them.
699
00:39:36,819 --> 00:39:38,069
Here in Wyoming,
700
00:39:38,070 --> 00:39:39,988
we believe there is
a right and a wrong...
701
00:39:39,989 --> 00:39:43,825
Because I'm a mom
and a wife from Wyoming
702
00:39:43,826 --> 00:39:47,370
and I know how it feels
to make every penny count.
703
00:39:47,371 --> 00:39:49,998
And not only do I speak for you,
704
00:39:49,999 --> 00:39:51,249
but my husband, Dick Cheney...
705
00:39:51,250 --> 00:39:53,126
A hard wind of change
706
00:39:53,127 --> 00:39:55,128
had been blowing through America.
707
00:39:55,129 --> 00:39:58,748
Civil rights, Roe V. Wade,
environmentalism,
708
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,259
but there was a part of the country
709
00:40:01,260 --> 00:40:03,252
that was angry about this change.
710
00:40:04,263 --> 00:40:08,098
Thanks to my amazing wife.
711
00:40:09,393 --> 00:40:12,979
It's good to be joining you all
here in D.C.
712
00:40:12,980 --> 00:40:15,222
as Wyoming's sole
congressional representative.
713
00:40:17,443 --> 00:40:19,444
And then,
big money families
714
00:40:19,445 --> 00:40:21,487
like the Kochs and the Coors
715
00:40:21,488 --> 00:40:24,157
that were sick of
paying income taxes
716
00:40:24,158 --> 00:40:26,492
rolled right into Washington, D.C.
717
00:40:26,493 --> 00:40:29,245
and started writing fat checks
718
00:40:29,246 --> 00:40:30,737
to fund right-wing think tanks...
719
00:40:32,791 --> 00:40:34,208
that would change the way
720
00:40:34,209 --> 00:40:36,576
many Americans looked at the world.
721
00:40:39,131 --> 00:40:43,635
Finally, in 1980,
this unlikely revolution
722
00:40:43,636 --> 00:40:46,512
of the super-rich and
white conservatives
723
00:40:46,513 --> 00:40:47,889
found its face.
724
00:40:47,890 --> 00:40:49,974
For those
without skills,
725
00:40:49,975 --> 00:40:52,644
we'll find a way
to help them get new skills.
726
00:40:52,645 --> 00:40:54,812
For those without job opportunities,
727
00:40:54,813 --> 00:40:56,564
we'll stimulate new opportunities,
728
00:40:56,565 --> 00:40:59,776
particularly in the inner cities
where they live.
729
00:40:59,777 --> 00:41:02,195
For those who've abandoned hope,
730
00:41:02,196 --> 00:41:04,155
we'll restore hope
and we'll welcome them
731
00:41:04,156 --> 00:41:05,907
into a great national crusade
732
00:41:05,908 --> 00:41:07,992
to make America great again.
733
00:41:14,500 --> 00:41:15,741
Thank you very much.
734
00:41:17,836 --> 00:41:19,202
God bless America.
735
00:41:20,547 --> 00:41:24,926
It was the fucking 1980s,
736
00:41:24,927 --> 00:41:27,715
and it was a hell of a time
to be Dick Cheney.
737
00:41:29,723 --> 00:41:33,142
Vote on H.R.4445,
738
00:41:33,143 --> 00:41:35,728
the Undetectable Firearms Act,
739
00:41:35,729 --> 00:41:39,190
to ban plastic guns that can
evade metal detectors.
740
00:41:39,191 --> 00:41:40,775
Nay.
741
00:41:40,776 --> 00:41:43,736
Well, thank you,
Congressmen Cheney.
742
00:41:43,737 --> 00:41:45,822
I hear you've been quite the ally.
743
00:41:45,823 --> 00:41:48,324
...establishing
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
744
00:41:48,325 --> 00:41:49,782
as a federal holiday.
745
00:41:50,786 --> 00:41:56,290
H.R.36441,
the Endangered Species Act.
746
00:41:56,291 --> 00:41:59,460
Mr. T is here,
right with the First Family.
747
00:41:59,461 --> 00:42:02,714
Vote on H.R.500,
the Water Quality Act.
748
00:42:02,715 --> 00:42:04,007
- Out!
- Woo!
749
00:42:04,008 --> 00:42:06,216
Vote on H.R.44...
750
00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:10,337
Someone call an ambulance!
751
00:42:12,141 --> 00:42:13,683
Can you breathe?
752
00:42:13,684 --> 00:42:15,676
I'm having
a heart attack, you idiot.
753
00:42:48,469 --> 00:42:50,261
Thank you, Alex,
for your very responsible...
754
00:42:50,262 --> 00:42:51,554
Oh, congratulations.
755
00:42:51,555 --> 00:42:54,474
Thank you.
I was very, very excited...
756
00:42:54,475 --> 00:42:56,684
- We are not wolves.
- Thank you.
757
00:42:56,685 --> 00:42:58,352
No, thank you.
758
00:42:58,353 --> 00:43:01,687
Oh, they're both
brilliant but broke.
759
00:43:04,359 --> 00:43:06,277
- Hey, George.
- Hey, Dick.
760
00:43:06,278 --> 00:43:08,362
Hello, Lynne.
761
00:43:08,363 --> 00:43:09,822
Congratulations on your appointment.
762
00:43:09,823 --> 00:43:11,991
Oh, well, thank you,
Mr. Vice President.
763
00:43:11,992 --> 00:43:13,701
How is your lovely family?
764
00:43:13,702 --> 00:43:16,035
Well, we think our son Jeb
seems cut out for office.
765
00:43:18,749 --> 00:43:20,958
We may be asking for your
endorsements in a few years.
766
00:43:20,959 --> 00:43:23,461
Well, if he's half as charming
as you are, George,
767
00:43:23,462 --> 00:43:24,921
then you'll have both of our votes.
768
00:43:24,922 --> 00:43:26,089
Ah, can I get that in writing?
769
00:43:26,090 --> 00:43:27,423
Oh, yeah, of course.
770
00:43:27,424 --> 00:43:29,050
Dick, I just want to say thank you
771
00:43:29,051 --> 00:43:30,718
for getting the
House not to override
772
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,804
the president's veto
on the fairness doctrine.
773
00:43:32,805 --> 00:43:34,597
No, not a problem.
774
00:43:34,598 --> 00:43:36,808
Happy to get rid of any
big government regulations.
775
00:43:36,809 --> 00:43:38,643
Thank you. Great.
776
00:43:38,644 --> 00:43:40,520
The fairness doctrine
was a law from the 40s
777
00:43:40,521 --> 00:43:43,773
that required
any broadcast TV or radio news
778
00:43:43,774 --> 00:43:46,692
to present both sides
of an issue equally.
779
00:43:46,693 --> 00:43:49,737
Its repeal would lead
to the rise of opinion news.
780
00:43:49,738 --> 00:43:53,982
Let me tell you something,
you skinny human prophylactic.
781
00:43:54,993 --> 00:43:57,703
Love is the only human emotion
you can't fake.
782
00:43:57,704 --> 00:43:59,789
Except women.
And thank God they can.
783
00:44:02,292 --> 00:44:04,168
And eventually to the realization
784
00:44:04,169 --> 00:44:05,751
of Roger Ailes' dream.
785
00:44:06,797 --> 00:44:09,298
Fox News,
which would go on to become
786
00:44:09,299 --> 00:44:12,760
the number one news station
in the United States
787
00:44:12,761 --> 00:44:14,969
and swing America
even more to the right.
788
00:44:16,557 --> 00:44:18,599
Thank you. Great.
789
00:44:20,644 --> 00:44:23,312
Sorry. Sorry.
Hey, it's all right.
790
00:44:23,313 --> 00:44:25,022
Lighten up, sweetheart.
It's a party.
791
00:44:25,023 --> 00:44:26,357
Let me go see if I can see
792
00:44:26,358 --> 00:44:27,608
if everything's okay over there.
793
00:44:27,609 --> 00:44:29,944
Great to see you both.
Love to the girls.
794
00:44:29,945 --> 00:44:31,686
Love to Barbara.
Will do.
795
00:44:32,531 --> 00:44:34,113
That's his son.
Oh, crap.
796
00:44:35,450 --> 00:44:37,577
George W.,
black sheep of the family.
797
00:44:37,578 --> 00:44:39,829
- Very boring people. Only in America...
- Let's go.
798
00:44:39,830 --> 00:44:42,038
A little too much
unconditional love there.
799
00:44:44,126 --> 00:44:46,377
Can you feel it, Dick?
800
00:44:46,378 --> 00:44:48,421
Half the room wants to be us.
801
00:44:48,422 --> 00:44:50,798
The other half fears us.
802
00:44:50,799 --> 00:44:53,416
I know George is next in
line, but...
803
00:44:54,970 --> 00:44:56,381
after that, who knows?
804
00:44:57,973 --> 00:45:00,181
I respect the hell out of Reagan,
805
00:45:01,518 --> 00:45:04,395
but no one has shown the world
the true power
806
00:45:04,396 --> 00:45:06,308
of the American presidency.
807
00:45:33,717 --> 00:45:35,509
Excuse me, Miss Mary!
808
00:45:35,510 --> 00:45:38,924
You cannot leave the grounds
during school hours. Mary!
809
00:45:47,522 --> 00:45:49,023
Well, I don't understand.
810
00:45:49,024 --> 00:45:51,734
You just left school? Why?
811
00:45:51,735 --> 00:45:53,567
It doesn't make any sense.
812
00:45:54,863 --> 00:45:56,104
It was Susan.
813
00:45:57,366 --> 00:45:58,948
Susan, your best friend?
814
00:46:00,661 --> 00:46:03,620
Oh, honey, did you get
in a fight over a boy or...
815
00:46:09,086 --> 00:46:10,952
She broke up with me.
816
00:46:13,882 --> 00:46:16,169
Mom, Dad...
817
00:46:18,679 --> 00:46:19,638
I...
818
00:46:19,639 --> 00:46:20,879
I like girls.
819
00:46:22,140 --> 00:46:23,756
I'm gay.
820
00:46:44,288 --> 00:46:46,029
It doesn't matter, sweetheart.
821
00:46:47,833 --> 00:46:49,324
We love you no matter what.
822
00:46:51,295 --> 00:46:53,045
Daddy.
823
00:46:53,046 --> 00:46:54,753
I love you so much.
824
00:46:57,968 --> 00:46:59,379
This is going to make things...
825
00:47:00,595 --> 00:47:01,711
so hard for you.
826
00:47:09,730 --> 00:47:12,398
When George Bush Sr.
Was elected president,
827
00:47:12,399 --> 00:47:16,193
Dick Cheney was made
Secretary of Defense,
828
00:47:16,194 --> 00:47:18,151
sixth in line to the presidency.
829
00:47:19,281 --> 00:47:21,157
And after a few years,
830
00:47:21,158 --> 00:47:24,160
it was Dick's turn
to run for president.
831
00:47:24,161 --> 00:47:27,955
So they decided to do
some early polling numbers.
832
00:47:27,956 --> 00:47:29,447
Uh-huh. Guess that's it.
833
00:47:31,376 --> 00:47:33,618
We can move
those numbers. Just...
834
00:47:34,755 --> 00:47:36,464
go after the welfare state,
835
00:47:36,465 --> 00:47:38,507
regulations, government waste.
It'll be war.
836
00:47:38,508 --> 00:47:39,800
No.
837
00:47:39,801 --> 00:47:41,469
I, uh...
838
00:47:41,470 --> 00:47:43,177
I can't put Mary through that.
839
00:47:45,140 --> 00:47:47,382
Every primary opponent
will go after her.
840
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,931
And we deny.
841
00:47:56,860 --> 00:47:59,477
Shame them for going
after the family and...
842
00:48:37,984 --> 00:48:40,444
You let Grandma go.
843
00:48:40,445 --> 00:48:42,488
Come on. Good boy.
844
00:48:42,489 --> 00:48:43,489
All right.
845
00:48:45,158 --> 00:48:47,451
No. Oh, my goodness.
846
00:48:54,292 --> 00:48:55,835
It's great, Philip.
847
00:48:55,836 --> 00:48:58,129
Uh, Coors has me
mapping out strategies
848
00:48:58,130 --> 00:49:00,673
for people living
alternative lifestyles.
849
00:49:00,674 --> 00:49:02,508
The Coors are a wonderful family.
850
00:49:02,509 --> 00:49:04,171
They're good people.
851
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,757
Who is calling
on a Sunday morning?
852
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:51,390
I don't know.
853
00:49:52,476 --> 00:49:54,852
Okay. I'm coming.
854
00:49:57,439 --> 00:49:58,475
I'm comin'.
855
00:50:01,818 --> 00:50:02,854
Hello.
856
00:50:06,573 --> 00:50:07,814
That's right.
857
00:50:11,244 --> 00:50:12,325
Mm-hmm.
858
00:50:18,084 --> 00:50:20,121
Any way I can be of assistance.
859
00:50:23,048 --> 00:50:25,085
- Yep, now that
should work. -00 p.m.
860
00:50:26,510 --> 00:50:28,302
Of course.
861
00:50:28,303 --> 00:50:29,339
Oh, that, uh...
862
00:50:30,472 --> 00:50:31,929
that goes without saying.
863
00:50:34,226 --> 00:50:35,392
Thank you.
864
00:50:35,393 --> 00:50:36,759
No, thank you.
865
00:50:38,355 --> 00:50:39,562
Who was that?
866
00:50:40,690 --> 00:50:42,775
It was someone from
867
00:50:42,776 --> 00:50:45,694
George Bush's son's, uh, campaign.
868
00:50:45,695 --> 00:50:46,655
Jeb?
869
00:50:46,656 --> 00:50:48,113
No, no, George W.
870
00:50:48,114 --> 00:50:50,282
Uh, Jeb's Florida.
Right, right.
871
00:50:50,283 --> 00:50:52,034
Oh, I still can't
believe they've got
872
00:50:52,035 --> 00:50:54,119
that poor boy running
for president.
873
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,077
What'd they want?
874
00:50:57,415 --> 00:51:01,250
They want to talk to me
about being his running mate.
875
00:51:02,879 --> 00:51:03,960
What?
876
00:51:05,173 --> 00:51:06,882
They didn't say it outright,
877
00:51:06,883 --> 00:51:08,759
but, uh...
878
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,342
I've made that call myself.
879
00:51:11,388 --> 00:51:12,720
That's what they want.
880
00:51:14,432 --> 00:51:16,640
A vice president is a nothing job.
881
00:51:17,936 --> 00:51:18,936
Mmm.
882
00:51:19,854 --> 00:51:21,772
Well, I'll just hear 'em out.
883
00:51:21,773 --> 00:51:23,399
I owe that to the father.
884
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,734
The VP just sits around
885
00:51:25,735 --> 00:51:27,486
and waits for the president to die.
886
00:51:27,487 --> 00:51:28,819
You've said so yourself.
887
00:51:30,282 --> 00:51:31,615
Yeah, it's a cruddy job.
888
00:51:31,616 --> 00:51:32,616
Yeah.
889
00:51:33,910 --> 00:51:35,071
It's just a meeting.
890
00:51:36,079 --> 00:51:37,695
Is it just a meeting?
891
00:51:39,874 --> 00:51:41,240
It's just a meeting.
892
00:51:46,631 --> 00:51:47,712
Good.
893
00:52:09,154 --> 00:52:10,270
Yes, Governor.
894
00:52:12,699 --> 00:52:14,450
Of course.
895
00:52:14,451 --> 00:52:16,331
The governor will see you now,
Secretary Cheney.
896
00:52:22,626 --> 00:52:23,626
Sure.
897
00:52:26,838 --> 00:52:28,589
Hey! Hello, Dick.
898
00:52:28,590 --> 00:52:29,797
Hello, George.
899
00:52:30,925 --> 00:52:32,384
It's been a while.
900
00:52:32,385 --> 00:52:33,719
Last year.
901
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:36,013
Foreign policy sessions.
902
00:52:36,014 --> 00:52:38,098
That's right.
Yeah, that's right.
903
00:52:38,099 --> 00:52:39,590
Those meetings were, uh...
904
00:52:40,852 --> 00:52:43,020
very engaging.
905
00:52:43,021 --> 00:52:45,773
I do remember we both agreed
906
00:52:45,774 --> 00:52:47,107
my dad would've been re-elected
907
00:52:47,108 --> 00:52:48,692
had he taken out Saddam.
908
00:52:48,693 --> 00:52:51,356
Right. Yeah, wartime presidents.
909
00:52:52,572 --> 00:52:53,989
Very popular.
910
00:52:53,990 --> 00:52:55,652
That they are.
That they are.
911
00:52:56,785 --> 00:52:57,866
So...
912
00:53:00,497 --> 00:53:01,705
Congratulations
913
00:53:01,706 --> 00:53:05,209
on a... successful primary.
914
00:53:05,210 --> 00:53:08,212
I've, uh, been through a few myself,
915
00:53:08,213 --> 00:53:10,339
and they can be, shall we say...
916
00:53:10,340 --> 00:53:11,548
Fuckin' exhausting.
917
00:53:11,549 --> 00:53:13,006
Right.
918
00:53:14,344 --> 00:53:15,552
Yeah.
919
00:53:15,553 --> 00:53:17,596
It's a grind.
920
00:53:17,597 --> 00:53:18,722
It's a grind, I'll tell you.
921
00:53:18,723 --> 00:53:20,965
Buses, bologna sandwiches.
922
00:53:22,227 --> 00:53:23,894
Hell, I like people,
but, I mean,
923
00:53:23,895 --> 00:53:25,682
you know, enough's enough.
924
00:53:29,109 --> 00:53:30,109
So...
925
00:53:31,820 --> 00:53:33,153
that call I received...
926
00:53:33,154 --> 00:53:34,697
I forgot, you're a brass tacks guy,
927
00:53:34,698 --> 00:53:35,823
aren't ya? I like that.
928
00:53:37,659 --> 00:53:40,411
You surprised I'm
running for president?
929
00:53:40,412 --> 00:53:43,455
He wants to impress his father
930
00:53:43,456 --> 00:53:44,790
more than anything.
931
00:53:44,791 --> 00:53:48,127
After my, uh,
shall we say, wild years?
932
00:53:48,128 --> 00:53:51,922
Well, George,
I sowed some oats myself
933
00:53:51,923 --> 00:53:53,465
back in the day.
934
00:53:53,466 --> 00:53:57,052
And I still enjoy
a cold beer on occasion.
935
00:53:57,053 --> 00:53:58,637
I bet you did.
Mmm.
936
00:53:58,638 --> 00:54:00,264
I bet you did, you rascal.
937
00:54:00,265 --> 00:54:03,392
I can't anymore. It got bad.
938
00:54:03,393 --> 00:54:05,310
Yeah.
939
00:54:05,311 --> 00:54:06,437
Good times.
940
00:54:06,438 --> 00:54:08,020
What does
he really want?
941
00:54:09,232 --> 00:54:10,607
What does he need?
942
00:54:10,608 --> 00:54:12,208
It's tough, I'll tell ya.
943
00:54:14,946 --> 00:54:16,447
I lost my first congressional race,
944
00:54:16,448 --> 00:54:18,906
and it was not good.
945
00:54:21,661 --> 00:54:23,036
How 'bout some brisket?
946
00:54:23,037 --> 00:54:24,153
George, um...
947
00:54:26,666 --> 00:54:29,626
Hey, Theresa! Hey, Theresa!
948
00:54:29,627 --> 00:54:31,462
- Yell up, get some brisket.
- All right, we'll find some.
949
00:54:31,463 --> 00:54:33,464
- Get the burnt ends.
- 'Course.
950
00:54:33,465 --> 00:54:34,626
So listen, I got a...
951
00:54:36,009 --> 00:54:38,385
"lack of experience" problem
in the polls,
952
00:54:38,386 --> 00:54:40,554
and you are one of the most
experienced guys around.
953
00:54:40,555 --> 00:54:42,922
You wanna jump on board,
be my vice?
954
00:54:44,392 --> 00:54:45,392
I'm honored.
955
00:54:46,352 --> 00:54:48,812
Don't be honored,
fuckin' say yes, Mr. Brass Tacks.
956
00:54:48,813 --> 00:54:50,475
Mmm. I have to say, uh, no.
957
00:54:51,524 --> 00:54:53,609
Dick, come on,
we're gonna have a lot of fun.
958
00:54:53,610 --> 00:54:56,779
What are you doin' right now?
You're in the private sector?
959
00:54:56,780 --> 00:54:58,489
Yeah.
960
00:54:58,490 --> 00:55:00,282
Come on,
I know you love politics.
961
00:55:00,283 --> 00:55:01,825
George.
962
00:55:01,826 --> 00:55:04,119
Let's go.
Not gonna happen.
963
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:05,782
Come on now.
964
00:55:07,832 --> 00:55:09,789
Well, that's a shame. It is.
965
00:55:12,086 --> 00:55:13,668
Perhaps I could, uh...
966
00:55:14,923 --> 00:55:18,008
help you find the
right running mate.
967
00:55:18,009 --> 00:55:19,843
Run my VP search team?
968
00:55:19,844 --> 00:55:22,006
Mmm. No team. Just me.
969
00:55:28,978 --> 00:55:31,146
Yeah, yeah, that could work,
that could...
970
00:55:31,147 --> 00:55:33,639
I have to run it by Rove,
of course, but, uh...
971
00:55:35,485 --> 00:55:36,735
If I lose, maybe I could become
972
00:55:36,736 --> 00:55:38,529
commissioner of baseball.
973
00:55:38,530 --> 00:55:40,072
You know?
974
00:55:40,073 --> 00:55:42,406
But the, um, idea...
975
00:55:43,660 --> 00:55:44,821
is to win.
976
00:55:47,121 --> 00:55:48,761
I'm gonna keep you
in the back of my mind.
977
00:55:56,130 --> 00:55:59,339
So, are you going to tell me
how it went today or not?
978
00:56:03,096 --> 00:56:04,337
It was very interesting.
979
00:56:05,515 --> 00:56:06,551
He is, uh...
980
00:56:09,602 --> 00:56:10,602
...green.
981
00:56:12,647 --> 00:56:13,854
He's very green.
982
00:56:16,442 --> 00:56:17,683
And you told him "no"?
983
00:56:18,695 --> 00:56:20,112
I, uh...
984
00:56:20,113 --> 00:56:23,948
I told him I would help with
the, uh...
985
00:56:25,869 --> 00:56:27,076
with the search.
986
00:56:41,509 --> 00:56:42,716
What are you thinking?
987
00:56:45,305 --> 00:56:47,843
I can tell you're thinking.
Mm-hmm.
988
00:56:54,606 --> 00:56:56,347
What was Dick
Cheney thinking...
989
00:56:57,609 --> 00:57:00,110
I'm thinking I've never seen
anything like this.
990
00:57:00,111 --> 00:57:03,196
...after his first
meeting with George W.?
991
00:57:03,197 --> 00:57:05,860
We've had a lot of successes, Dick.
992
00:57:09,287 --> 00:57:12,915
And the vice president
is a nothing job.
993
00:57:12,916 --> 00:57:15,704
How many steps
ahead was he looking?
994
00:57:16,794 --> 00:57:19,212
How did he feel
about the opportunity
995
00:57:19,213 --> 00:57:20,624
that was in front of him?
996
00:57:22,133 --> 00:57:25,552
There are certain moments
997
00:57:25,553 --> 00:57:26,714
so delicate...
998
00:57:28,056 --> 00:57:30,890
like a teacup and saucer...
999
00:57:34,437 --> 00:57:37,981
...stacked on a teacup and saucer
1000
00:57:37,982 --> 00:57:41,360
on a teacup and saucer...
1001
00:57:41,361 --> 00:57:42,772
Can you change,
or am I wasting...
1002
00:57:45,323 --> 00:57:46,564
...and on and on...
1003
00:57:53,039 --> 00:57:56,328
that this moment could fall
in any direction...
1004
00:57:57,543 --> 00:58:00,160
and change everything.
1005
00:58:02,882 --> 00:58:04,841
Sadly, there's no real way
1006
00:58:04,842 --> 00:58:06,760
to know exactly what was going on
1007
00:58:06,761 --> 00:58:08,220
inside the Cheneys...
1008
00:58:08,221 --> 00:58:10,806
...at this history-changing moment.
1009
00:58:10,807 --> 00:58:14,726
We can't just snap
into a Shakespearean soliloquy
1010
00:58:14,727 --> 00:58:17,845
that dramatizes every feeling
and motivation.
1011
00:58:18,856 --> 00:58:21,269
That's just not
the way the world works.
1012
00:58:27,031 --> 00:58:29,741
My sweet Richard.
1013
00:58:29,742 --> 00:58:32,911
Dance'd nimbly round
the king's hearth thou hath.
1014
00:58:32,912 --> 00:58:36,581
Even whilst clamored I
for more, more!
1015
00:58:36,582 --> 00:58:38,959
Mm.
Parched maw craned towards
1016
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,462
the drip, drip of imagined waters.
1017
00:58:42,463 --> 00:58:46,633
But I say to you now,
rest, retire.
1018
00:58:46,634 --> 00:58:50,799
Thou hast honored thy vows
to wife and crown.
1019
00:58:52,056 --> 00:58:55,140
Has blindness usurped vision
in you, my wife?
1020
00:58:58,187 --> 00:59:00,850
No mere treaty is our union.
1021
00:59:02,150 --> 00:59:04,901
Thou shared thy torch's flame
with mine.
1022
00:59:04,902 --> 00:59:07,070
Revealing halls and spires...
1023
00:59:08,281 --> 00:59:10,824
...of long faded empires.
1024
00:59:10,825 --> 00:59:14,745
And now, I may hold aloft
1025
00:59:14,746 --> 00:59:17,159
mine own fiery cresset.
1026
00:59:19,083 --> 00:59:22,451
And make flesh our bond of power.
1027
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,041
Dare I?
1028
00:59:26,049 --> 00:59:28,717
Dare I let hope's beak
place gathered bramble
1029
00:59:28,718 --> 00:59:30,880
upon my heart for future's nest?
1030
00:59:31,888 --> 00:59:35,390
Many winters past
hath I let this hope die,
1031
00:59:35,391 --> 00:59:39,019
cruel winds silencing
tiny birds' needy cries.
1032
00:59:39,020 --> 00:59:41,980
Now that it hath arrived,
I say yea.
1033
00:59:41,981 --> 00:59:43,438
Yea.
1034
00:59:44,650 --> 00:59:48,862
Mine own blood and will are yours
1035
00:59:48,863 --> 00:59:50,113
'til pierced be
1036
00:59:50,114 --> 00:59:52,324
the last soldier's breastplate,
1037
00:59:52,325 --> 00:59:54,910
spilling forth its
ruby jelly treasures.
1038
01:00:05,755 --> 01:00:06,755
So?
1039
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,958
So I think we, uh, proceed.
1040
01:00:12,303 --> 01:00:13,845
What about Mary?
1041
01:00:13,846 --> 01:00:15,712
Mmm. It's VP.
1042
01:00:17,391 --> 01:00:19,383
Not the same scrutiny.
1043
01:00:20,770 --> 01:00:24,564
No. He has allies, Dick.
Connections.
1044
01:00:24,565 --> 01:00:27,103
You're new to his world.
You don't know the landscape.
1045
01:00:32,865 --> 01:00:37,200
Well, I had better conduct
a very thorough search.
1046
01:00:38,204 --> 01:00:42,874
Every stone,
hell, every grain of sand...
1047
01:00:42,875 --> 01:00:44,334
needs to be looked under
for this questionnaire.
1048
01:00:44,335 --> 01:00:47,420
Dick, we're asking
for all financials,
1049
01:00:47,421 --> 01:00:49,214
all medical, all interviews,
1050
01:00:49,215 --> 01:00:51,133
press, writings,
all legal records...
1051
01:00:51,134 --> 01:00:54,261
Sometimes people use LLCs
to hide certain monies.
1052
01:00:54,262 --> 01:00:55,387
And?
1053
01:00:55,388 --> 01:00:58,265
Any more comprehensive
and we would need a rubber glove.
1054
01:00:58,266 --> 01:01:00,433
Sorry, Liz.
That wasn't offensive.
1055
01:01:00,434 --> 01:01:01,810
Should I be offended?
1056
01:01:01,811 --> 01:01:03,228
Well, I'm offended.
1057
01:01:03,229 --> 01:01:04,855
Dave didn't worry
if I'd be offended.
1058
01:01:04,856 --> 01:01:07,357
Oh, a rubber glove,
like a proctology exam.
1059
01:01:07,358 --> 01:01:09,067
That's disgusting.
1060
01:01:09,068 --> 01:01:12,027
Hello? Oh, hello...
1061
01:01:13,281 --> 01:01:15,866
Dad, I'm taking
the cheese off your pizza.
1062
01:01:15,867 --> 01:01:18,118
- Honey?
- Mmm?
1063
01:01:18,119 --> 01:01:19,828
Dave.
1064
01:01:19,829 --> 01:01:20,871
David. Thoughts?
1065
01:01:20,872 --> 01:01:23,285
One. A big one.
1066
01:01:24,625 --> 01:01:27,377
David Addington,
Dick's main legal advisor
1067
01:01:27,378 --> 01:01:30,212
and a huge believer in the
unitary executive theory.
1068
01:01:31,424 --> 01:01:33,592
He was known for
telling people to their face
1069
01:01:33,593 --> 01:01:35,635
that they're stupid.
1070
01:01:35,636 --> 01:01:38,221
So the, uh, vice presidency is
part of the executive branch.
1071
01:01:38,222 --> 01:01:40,515
And because the VP casts
1072
01:01:40,516 --> 01:01:42,350
tie-breaking votes in the Senate,
1073
01:01:42,351 --> 01:01:45,270
also part of the legislative branch,
right?
1074
01:01:45,271 --> 01:01:48,106
Right.
That means...
1075
01:01:48,107 --> 01:01:49,983
the VP is also
1076
01:01:49,984 --> 01:01:54,070
not part of the executive
or the legislative.
1077
01:01:54,071 --> 01:01:55,405
So,
1078
01:01:55,406 --> 01:01:57,489
one could argue that, uh...
1079
01:01:58,910 --> 01:02:00,702
neither branch
1080
01:02:00,703 --> 01:02:02,285
has oversight of the VP.
1081
01:02:03,414 --> 01:02:06,703
Not only could one argue that,
I'm arguing it.
1082
01:02:07,752 --> 01:02:09,211
That's brilliant, David.
1083
01:02:09,212 --> 01:02:11,421
I know. Right?
1084
01:02:11,422 --> 01:02:14,966
Karl Rove
wanted me to buy this ranch,
1085
01:02:14,967 --> 01:02:18,345
distance myself from my years
at Yale and Harvard,
1086
01:02:18,346 --> 01:02:20,931
make me more of a man
of the people for the election.
1087
01:02:20,932 --> 01:02:23,049
Mmm. Smart.
1088
01:02:26,812 --> 01:02:29,105
So we gonna do this thing or what?
I mean, is this happening?
1089
01:02:29,106 --> 01:02:35,028
We, uh, have found some
very interesting candidates.
1090
01:02:35,029 --> 01:02:37,030
Um, if we could schedule
1091
01:02:37,031 --> 01:02:40,575
a three-hour window
to get through...
1092
01:02:40,576 --> 01:02:42,818
I meant you.
I want you to be my VP.
1093
01:02:44,163 --> 01:02:46,206
You're the solution to my problems.
No.
1094
01:02:46,207 --> 01:02:48,620
I'm CEO of a large company.
1095
01:02:49,961 --> 01:02:53,125
I have been, uh,
Secretary of Defense.
1096
01:02:54,131 --> 01:02:56,424
I have been Chief of Staff.
1097
01:02:56,425 --> 01:03:01,638
Uh, the vice presidency
is mostly a symbolic job.
1098
01:03:01,639 --> 01:03:03,306
Right, right.
1099
01:03:03,307 --> 01:03:04,923
I can see how that wouldn't
be, uh...
1100
01:03:06,936 --> 01:03:08,478
enticing to you.
1101
01:03:08,479 --> 01:03:09,479
However...
1102
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:17,065
the vice presidency is also
defined by the president.
1103
01:03:18,614 --> 01:03:20,615
And if we were to come to a, uh...
1104
01:03:21,701 --> 01:03:23,363
different understanding...
1105
01:03:24,870 --> 01:03:26,327
Uh-huh. Go on.
1106
01:03:27,915 --> 01:03:28,951
I'm listenin'.
1107
01:03:30,793 --> 01:03:35,171
I sense that, uh,
you're a kinetic leader.
1108
01:03:35,172 --> 01:03:38,883
You make decisions
based on instinct.
1109
01:03:38,884 --> 01:03:40,635
I am. People always said that.
1110
01:03:40,636 --> 01:03:42,304
Yeah, yeah. Very different.
1111
01:03:42,305 --> 01:03:44,723
Very different from, uh,
1112
01:03:44,724 --> 01:03:47,091
from your father in that regard.
1113
01:03:48,185 --> 01:03:50,520
Now, maybe I can, uh,
1114
01:03:50,521 --> 01:03:53,273
handle some of the
more mundane jobs.
1115
01:03:53,274 --> 01:03:56,151
Overseeing bureaucracy,
1116
01:03:56,152 --> 01:03:58,403
managing military,
1117
01:03:58,404 --> 01:04:01,522
uh, energy, uh, foreign policy.
1118
01:04:07,663 --> 01:04:08,622
That sounds good.
1119
01:04:12,501 --> 01:04:14,794
Never wanna
be the kind of team owner
1120
01:04:14,795 --> 01:04:18,131
that, uh, pulls the starter
in the fourth inning.
1121
01:04:18,132 --> 01:04:20,374
Mm-hmm.
That's the manager's job.
1122
01:04:23,179 --> 01:04:24,340
One more thing.
1123
01:04:26,432 --> 01:04:27,673
My daughter, Mary.
1124
01:04:29,393 --> 01:04:31,225
Right. Rove told me she likes girls.
1125
01:04:32,271 --> 01:04:35,982
Now, I know you have
to, uh, run against, uh,
1126
01:04:35,983 --> 01:04:39,943
gay marriage in the South,
Midwest, and, uh...
1127
01:04:41,405 --> 01:04:43,573
But it's my daughter,
1128
01:04:43,574 --> 01:04:46,868
and that line is drawn in concrete.
1129
01:04:46,869 --> 01:04:49,079
Don't you say another word.
1130
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,247
So long as you don't mind us
pushing that messaging,
1131
01:04:51,248 --> 01:04:53,208
we're okay with you
sittin' that one out.
1132
01:04:53,209 --> 01:04:55,251
I think it's important
for all the...
1133
01:04:55,252 --> 01:04:56,920
all the Marys in the world,
you know?
1134
01:04:59,048 --> 01:05:00,835
No problemo.
We got a deal?
1135
01:05:02,093 --> 01:05:04,551
Then I believe this could work.
1136
01:05:05,554 --> 01:05:07,722
Hot damn!
1137
01:05:07,723 --> 01:05:12,143
Yeah. Well, good.
Hey, let's celebrate.
1138
01:05:12,144 --> 01:05:13,561
Secretary Cheney
visited me and Laura
1139
01:05:13,562 --> 01:05:15,563
at our ranch in Crawford, Texas...
1140
01:05:15,564 --> 01:05:17,021
Cheers.
Cheers.
1141
01:05:18,317 --> 01:05:23,571
I realized the best choice
was standing by my side.
1142
01:05:23,572 --> 01:05:25,323
Please welcome my friend
1143
01:05:25,324 --> 01:05:28,201
and my running mate,
Dick Cheney...
1144
01:05:33,457 --> 01:05:35,875
and his lovely wife Lynne.
1145
01:05:35,876 --> 01:05:37,127
Dick never filled out
1146
01:05:37,128 --> 01:05:39,671
his own 83-question questionnaire.
1147
01:05:39,672 --> 01:05:42,590
Full medical records
were never handed over.
1148
01:05:42,591 --> 01:05:46,094
No tax or corporate filings.
Nothing.
1149
01:05:46,095 --> 01:05:49,222
Cheney! Cheney! Cheney!
1150
01:05:49,223 --> 01:05:50,974
Cheney! Cheney!
1151
01:05:50,975 --> 01:05:52,809
To reach more
of his senior aides
1152
01:05:52,810 --> 01:05:54,269
to find out reasons.
1153
01:05:54,270 --> 01:05:55,687
But we were told
when he came over,
1154
01:05:55,688 --> 01:05:57,272
he had already called
Governor Bush,
1155
01:05:57,273 --> 01:05:58,857
he had wished him well,
and that he would deliver
1156
01:05:58,858 --> 01:05:59,941
a brief concession speech
here tonight.
1157
01:05:59,942 --> 01:06:01,526
I don't know.
1158
01:06:01,527 --> 01:06:02,777
I think we're
all sitting around
1159
01:06:02,778 --> 01:06:04,612
wondering what it is that, uh,
1160
01:06:04,613 --> 01:06:06,573
he may be doing backstage.
They just keep going on and on.
1161
01:06:06,574 --> 01:06:08,782
Gore rescinded his concession.
1162
01:06:11,912 --> 01:06:14,871
They're claiming Florida
is too close to call.
1163
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,502
He can't fucking rescind
his concession.
1164
01:06:19,503 --> 01:06:21,254
He just did.
1165
01:06:21,255 --> 01:06:22,464
The Russians are loving this.
1166
01:06:22,465 --> 01:06:25,049
There's gonna be a recount, so...
1167
01:06:25,050 --> 01:06:26,134
I don't know.
1168
01:06:26,135 --> 01:06:27,215
What should we do?
1169
01:06:28,345 --> 01:06:31,133
We play it like we've already won.
1170
01:06:32,475 --> 01:06:35,934
Which means we need
to staff the White House.
1171
01:06:37,188 --> 01:06:40,732
All right.
Who's leading the transition team?
1172
01:06:40,733 --> 01:06:41,769
I'll do it.
1173
01:06:43,068 --> 01:06:45,445
That's not something
a vice president really does, is it?
1174
01:06:45,446 --> 01:06:47,697
Well...
1175
01:06:47,698 --> 01:06:48,865
- It is now.
- Vice President Gore
1176
01:06:48,866 --> 01:06:50,909
has called Governor Bush
1177
01:06:50,910 --> 01:06:53,703
and retracted his concession,
1178
01:06:53,704 --> 01:06:55,914
because he is now...
1179
01:06:55,915 --> 01:06:57,665
What?
...of the mind that things could be
1180
01:06:57,666 --> 01:06:59,125
turning yet again in Florida.
1181
01:06:59,126 --> 01:07:00,960
You can't do that!
1182
01:07:00,961 --> 01:07:02,748
I mean, that's laughable.
1183
01:07:04,507 --> 01:07:06,214
Uh, Wolfowitz.
1184
01:07:07,801 --> 01:07:09,344
State?
Mmm.
1185
01:07:09,345 --> 01:07:10,929
Or Pentagon?
1186
01:07:10,930 --> 01:07:13,306
Depends on who
your Secretary of Defense is.
1187
01:07:13,307 --> 01:07:14,516
Rummy.
Hundred percent.
1188
01:07:14,517 --> 01:07:16,309
Mm-hmm.
Rumsfeld?
1189
01:07:16,310 --> 01:07:18,603
Uh, doesn't Bush Senior
hate Rummy?
1190
01:07:18,604 --> 01:07:19,854
Not such a
bad thing with W.
1191
01:07:19,855 --> 01:07:22,190
He wants to be his own man.
1192
01:07:22,191 --> 01:07:24,442
Rumsfeld believes in
a robust executive.
1193
01:07:24,443 --> 01:07:26,194
That's good for us on war powers.
1194
01:07:26,195 --> 01:07:28,655
Just keep him out of State,
he'll start World War Ill.
1195
01:07:28,656 --> 01:07:30,740
Look.
1196
01:07:30,741 --> 01:07:35,328
Halliburton just gave us
a $26 million exit package.
1197
01:07:35,329 --> 01:07:37,789
Twice what we expected.
1198
01:07:37,790 --> 01:07:38,951
They're no dummies.
1199
01:07:41,252 --> 01:07:43,209
Uh, sorry, gang.
1200
01:07:44,713 --> 01:07:46,256
Yep.
1201
01:07:46,257 --> 01:07:49,796
Think, uh, perhaps I should go
to the hospital.
1202
01:07:51,679 --> 01:07:53,972
Oh, my God.
Are you kidding me? Oh, come on.
1203
01:07:53,973 --> 01:07:57,475
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
1204
01:07:57,476 --> 01:07:59,811
All persons having business
with the Honorable,
1205
01:07:59,812 --> 01:08:01,479
the Supreme Court
of the United States
1206
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,315
are admonished to draw near
and give their attention,
1207
01:08:04,316 --> 01:08:06,359
for the Court is now sitting.
1208
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,570
God bless the United States and...
1209
01:08:08,571 --> 01:08:13,366
December 12th, 2000.
Antonin Scalia, remember him,
1210
01:08:13,367 --> 01:08:15,994
and the Supreme Court stopped
the state of Florida
1211
01:08:15,995 --> 01:08:17,370
from completing their recount.
1212
01:08:17,371 --> 01:08:19,622
God save
the United States
1213
01:08:19,623 --> 01:08:21,833
- and this Honorable Court.
- George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
1214
01:08:21,834 --> 01:08:25,953
were going to the White House
by a margin of 537 votes.
1215
01:09:11,925 --> 01:09:14,052
Hey. Hey, little Mary Claire.
1216
01:09:14,053 --> 01:09:16,261
Hey, little Mary, my little Mary.
1217
01:09:17,431 --> 01:09:20,765
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing? Hmm?
1218
01:09:25,105 --> 01:09:27,357
Oh, they're
both doing really well.
1219
01:09:27,358 --> 01:09:29,233
Except,
I'm trying to make this dinner.
1220
01:09:29,234 --> 01:09:31,152
And it's, uh...
1221
01:09:31,153 --> 01:09:33,905
It's this macaroni and cheese
1222
01:09:33,906 --> 01:09:35,657
that you said was easy
1223
01:09:35,658 --> 01:09:39,035
but it keeps just coming out
like a little watery.
1224
01:09:39,036 --> 01:09:40,787
It's the milk.
Remember?
1225
01:09:40,788 --> 01:09:42,288
You got to add more milk.
1226
01:09:42,289 --> 01:09:44,576
Yeah. It'll get thicker.
1227
01:09:45,876 --> 01:09:47,418
No, no, no, no.
1228
01:09:47,419 --> 01:09:49,837
I am. It's much better
when you use the milk.
1229
01:09:49,838 --> 01:09:50,839
There's just so much,
1230
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,715
so much I want to say right now,
1231
01:09:52,716 --> 01:09:54,592
and just, you keep doing
what you're doing.
1232
01:09:54,593 --> 01:09:56,334
You're doing so great.
1233
01:09:59,348 --> 01:10:02,392
You have earned something
very special from your wife.
1234
01:10:02,393 --> 01:10:03,759
Listen, listen, listen.
1235
01:10:04,978 --> 01:10:08,064
I'm buying wine,
and I'm picking something up.
1236
01:10:08,065 --> 01:10:09,306
Chinese?
1237
01:10:11,026 --> 01:10:13,313
Okay, I really love you.
1238
01:10:15,072 --> 01:10:16,489
I love you.
1239
01:10:16,490 --> 01:10:18,857
Yeah.
1240
01:10:27,751 --> 01:10:29,168
Good morning
to you, too.
1241
01:10:29,169 --> 01:10:30,129
We've met a few times.
1242
01:10:30,130 --> 01:10:31,379
It's nice to see you.
Yes.
1243
01:10:31,380 --> 01:10:32,463
Of course.
1244
01:10:32,464 --> 01:10:33,715
All right. Let's...
1245
01:10:33,716 --> 01:10:35,550
All right.
Let's get this thing underway.
1246
01:10:35,551 --> 01:10:37,593
Scooter, why don't you
let everyone know
1247
01:10:37,594 --> 01:10:38,720
the, um, lay of the land?
1248
01:10:38,721 --> 01:10:40,596
Of course.
As you all know,
1249
01:10:40,597 --> 01:10:42,181
I am Scooter Libby,
1250
01:10:42,182 --> 01:10:44,225
Dick's chief of staff.
1251
01:10:44,226 --> 01:10:47,353
Uh, I'm also his
national security advisor
1252
01:10:47,354 --> 01:10:49,522
and a special advisor
to the president.
1253
01:10:49,523 --> 01:10:52,984
Technically, Scooter outranks
any of Bush's people.
1254
01:10:52,985 --> 01:10:56,988
Mary Matalin will serve
as counselor to the VP
1255
01:10:56,989 --> 01:10:58,197
and assistant to Bush.
1256
01:10:58,198 --> 01:11:00,032
David Addington,
1257
01:11:00,033 --> 01:11:01,534
Dick's main legal counsel,
1258
01:11:01,535 --> 01:11:03,661
will play center
field on all matters
1259
01:11:03,662 --> 01:11:06,038
relating to executive power.
1260
01:11:06,039 --> 01:11:09,667
The president has Alberto Gonzales,
1261
01:11:09,668 --> 01:11:11,377
Karl Rove,
1262
01:11:11,378 --> 01:11:14,756
Karen Hughes as his team.
1263
01:11:14,757 --> 01:11:17,216
Quite frankly, Gonzales has no clue.
1264
01:11:17,217 --> 01:11:19,459
Um... Rove is a hack.
1265
01:11:20,763 --> 01:11:23,139
Hughes should be in double-A ball.
1266
01:11:23,140 --> 01:11:26,809
So we will have fairly
unobstructed access
1267
01:11:26,810 --> 01:11:28,176
to the Oval Office.
1268
01:11:29,229 --> 01:11:31,022
We will be automatically
1269
01:11:31,023 --> 01:11:33,608
BCC'd on all e-mails
1270
01:11:33,609 --> 01:11:35,401
that the president
receives or sends,
1271
01:11:35,402 --> 01:11:38,362
as well as have
access to his schedule
1272
01:11:38,363 --> 01:11:41,407
the second that it
is set or changed.
1273
01:11:41,408 --> 01:11:43,159
And we will
also be receiving
1274
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:46,287
the daily intelligence briefing
before the president.
1275
01:11:46,288 --> 01:11:48,790
That gets us inside
the decision curve.
1276
01:11:48,791 --> 01:11:50,703
Which we'll actually be reading.
1277
01:11:51,710 --> 01:11:53,419
Bush approved all of this?
1278
01:11:53,420 --> 01:11:55,161
Mmm, we have, uh,
1279
01:11:56,256 --> 01:11:57,548
an understanding.
1280
01:11:57,549 --> 01:11:58,925
What about the e-mails?
1281
01:11:58,926 --> 01:12:00,593
Paper shredders don't
work for e-mails.
1282
01:12:00,594 --> 01:12:02,595
The entire administration
will run off
1283
01:12:02,596 --> 01:12:04,472
the RNC's private server.
1284
01:12:04,473 --> 01:12:07,308
And we've deactivated
automatic archiving.
1285
01:12:07,309 --> 01:12:08,309
We're clean.
1286
01:12:09,394 --> 01:12:10,853
Okay.
1287
01:12:10,854 --> 01:12:12,647
So over at the Pentagon,
we got Don,
1288
01:12:12,648 --> 01:12:13,856
- Secretary of Defense.
- Mm-hmm.
1289
01:12:13,857 --> 01:12:15,525
Paul Wolfowitz,
1290
01:12:15,526 --> 01:12:17,902
who worked with Team B
in the Ford days,
1291
01:12:17,903 --> 01:12:19,904
Deputy Secretary of Defense.
1292
01:12:19,905 --> 01:12:23,324
Let's check,
see what plans
1293
01:12:23,325 --> 01:12:24,951
they had to invade Iraq.
1294
01:12:24,952 --> 01:12:26,536
It's already in the works.
1295
01:12:26,537 --> 01:12:29,038
Got Ashcroft over at the DOJ.
1296
01:12:29,039 --> 01:12:31,916
State seems to be
the only tricky department.
1297
01:12:31,917 --> 01:12:35,253
That's Colin Powell,
his guy Lawrence Wilkerson.
1298
01:12:35,254 --> 01:12:37,338
Colin Powell, who never met
a camera he didn't like.
1299
01:12:37,339 --> 01:12:38,798
Wilkerson's a true believer.
1300
01:12:38,799 --> 01:12:40,132
We've got
Bolton over there.
1301
01:12:40,133 --> 01:12:41,926
He's a loose cannon, but he's loyal.
1302
01:12:41,927 --> 01:12:44,428
Mmm. I wanna get Liz
in there as well.
1303
01:12:44,429 --> 01:12:45,847
Let's make sure that happens.
1304
01:12:45,848 --> 01:12:47,682
Okay, Dad.
Consider it done.
1305
01:12:47,683 --> 01:12:51,477
And this list of, uh, our people
1306
01:12:51,478 --> 01:12:53,896
does not include about 800 others,
1307
01:12:53,897 --> 01:12:56,732
uh, lobbyists, industry insiders
1308
01:12:56,733 --> 01:12:59,527
that we placed in
the regulatory jobs.
1309
01:12:59,528 --> 01:13:00,778
What about Bush's friends?
1310
01:13:00,779 --> 01:13:02,321
Ridge? Pataki? Thompson?
1311
01:13:02,322 --> 01:13:03,739
I haven't heard their names.
1312
01:13:03,740 --> 01:13:06,450
They were not, um, offered jobs
1313
01:13:06,451 --> 01:13:09,036
in this administration,
uh, at this time.
1314
01:13:09,037 --> 01:13:11,038
Not offered
jobs at this time?
1315
01:13:11,039 --> 01:13:14,041
Are you even more ruthless than
you used to be there, Dick?
1316
01:13:14,042 --> 01:13:15,749
Or are you just not getting laid?
1317
01:13:21,466 --> 01:13:22,758
All right, moving on.
1318
01:13:22,759 --> 01:13:24,421
Um, got Paul O'Neill.
1319
01:13:29,057 --> 01:13:32,184
You haven't been here
in over twenty years.
1320
01:13:32,185 --> 01:13:33,436
Times have changed.
1321
01:13:33,437 --> 01:13:35,688
The, uh, softer touch,
1322
01:13:35,689 --> 01:13:37,523
that's the norm now.
1323
01:13:37,524 --> 01:13:41,152
We have the conservative
TV and radio
1324
01:13:41,153 --> 01:13:43,270
doing the yelling for us.
Mm-hmm.
1325
01:13:44,323 --> 01:13:45,948
Is your old friend
embarrassing you?
1326
01:13:45,949 --> 01:13:47,033
Is that it, Dick?
1327
01:13:50,329 --> 01:13:53,331
Soft touch. That's all.
1328
01:13:53,332 --> 01:13:54,874
All right,
I have to go to my office
1329
01:13:54,875 --> 01:13:55,876
at the House of Representatives.
1330
01:13:55,877 --> 01:13:57,293
You mean the Senate?
1331
01:13:57,294 --> 01:13:59,126
Vice president,
tiebreaker in the Senate.
1332
01:14:00,380 --> 01:14:02,497
Nope, I mean the House.
1333
01:14:03,508 --> 01:14:05,593
Dick Cheney had used
an old connection
1334
01:14:05,594 --> 01:14:07,136
with former wrestling coach
1335
01:14:07,137 --> 01:14:09,680
and Speaker of the House
Dennis Hastert
1336
01:14:09,681 --> 01:14:11,682
to get an office at the
House of Representatives.
1337
01:14:11,683 --> 01:14:14,185
The House is where
revenue bills originate,
1338
01:14:14,186 --> 01:14:16,646
and he wanted to be
near the money faucet.
1339
01:14:16,647 --> 01:14:18,934
Hey, Dick.
Will this work for you?
1340
01:14:20,859 --> 01:14:22,475
Two more offices in the Senate.
1341
01:14:23,528 --> 01:14:26,030
Hey, Dick,
I found this extra office.
1342
01:14:26,031 --> 01:14:27,365
I hope it works for you.
1343
01:14:27,366 --> 01:14:29,116
And one in the Pentagon.
1344
01:14:29,117 --> 01:14:32,244
Welcome to your new
home away from home.
1345
01:14:32,245 --> 01:14:35,414
I got you a little
housewarming gift.
1346
01:14:35,415 --> 01:14:37,875
And later, when Cheney
needed intelligence
1347
01:14:37,876 --> 01:14:39,335
to invade Iraq,
1348
01:14:39,336 --> 01:14:41,087
a conference room at the CIA.
1349
01:14:41,088 --> 01:14:43,546
This room is soundproof
and secure.
1350
01:14:45,092 --> 01:14:47,635
Cheney was everywhere.
1351
01:14:47,636 --> 01:14:49,679
But the most powerful place
in all of D.C.
1352
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,556
was a nondescript conference room
1353
01:14:52,557 --> 01:14:54,100
at a relatively new think tank
1354
01:14:54,101 --> 01:14:56,894
called Americans for Tax Reform.
1355
01:14:56,895 --> 01:14:59,939
Grover Norquist ran
the anti-tax group
1356
01:14:59,940 --> 01:15:02,483
with huge funding from
the Koch brothers network,
1357
01:15:02,484 --> 01:15:04,897
big oil, and big tobacco.
1358
01:15:06,029 --> 01:15:07,571
His "Wednesday meeting,"
1359
01:15:07,572 --> 01:15:11,075
as it was called,
had become the center
1360
01:15:11,076 --> 01:15:12,567
of the Republican world.
1361
01:15:13,620 --> 01:15:17,489
Let's go ahead and start
with the estate tax.
1362
01:15:18,625 --> 01:15:20,710
Now, this has been
hard to eliminate,
1363
01:15:20,711 --> 01:15:23,754
because the tax only
affects those estates
1364
01:15:23,755 --> 01:15:25,506
worth over two million.
1365
01:15:25,507 --> 01:15:28,134
But we've made strides,
1366
01:15:28,135 --> 01:15:31,128
and marketing guru Frank Luntz
is here to help.
1367
01:15:37,269 --> 01:15:38,602
Hello, all.
1368
01:15:39,938 --> 01:15:42,773
Getting regular people
to support cutting taxes
1369
01:15:42,774 --> 01:15:43,983
on the very wealthy
1370
01:15:43,984 --> 01:15:46,152
has always been extremely hard.
1371
01:15:46,153 --> 01:15:49,155
We've had some success
in the past,
1372
01:15:49,156 --> 01:15:51,819
but the estate tax has
always been very difficult.
1373
01:15:52,993 --> 01:15:54,029
However...
1374
01:15:55,162 --> 01:15:56,994
I think we may have had
a breakthrough.
1375
01:15:58,165 --> 01:16:01,625
Now, the estate tax kicks in
1376
01:16:01,626 --> 01:16:05,796
on anyone inheriting
over two million dollars.
1377
01:16:05,797 --> 01:16:07,584
How many of you have
a problem with that?
1378
01:16:09,009 --> 01:16:10,843
Okay. How many
of you would have
1379
01:16:10,844 --> 01:16:12,720
a problem with something called
1380
01:16:12,721 --> 01:16:14,383
a death tax?
1381
01:16:19,227 --> 01:16:22,188
Instead of global warming,
1382
01:16:22,189 --> 01:16:24,940
which we all agree
sounds very scary...
1383
01:16:26,985 --> 01:16:29,028
we call it...
1384
01:16:29,029 --> 01:16:30,654
climate change.
1385
01:16:30,655 --> 01:16:31,822
Folks, the government
1386
01:16:31,823 --> 01:16:34,075
is taking your money after you die.
1387
01:16:34,076 --> 01:16:35,451
Now,
we all know the Democrats
1388
01:16:35,452 --> 01:16:36,911
despise tax cuts,
especially for the rich.
1389
01:16:36,912 --> 01:16:38,746
I want somebody to get rid
1390
01:16:38,747 --> 01:16:40,289
of the death tax,
that's what I want.
1391
01:16:40,290 --> 01:16:41,624
I don't want to get taxed
just 'cause I die.
1392
01:16:41,625 --> 01:16:43,501
I mean,
give me a break!
1393
01:16:43,502 --> 01:16:45,086
If I give something
to my kid, I already paid the tax.
1394
01:16:45,087 --> 01:16:46,295
Why I got to pay
again 'cause I died?
1395
01:16:46,296 --> 01:16:47,713
It's like being chastised!
I hate it.
1396
01:16:47,714 --> 01:16:49,757
The death tax has to go.
1397
01:16:49,758 --> 01:16:52,093
The elite liberals
in Washington would tax us
1398
01:16:52,094 --> 01:16:54,053
for laughing or
crying if they could.
1399
01:16:54,054 --> 01:16:56,597
So, with one of the biggest media
1400
01:16:56,598 --> 01:16:59,807
and political machines
ever created behind him,
1401
01:17:00,936 --> 01:17:04,730
Cheney was able to squash
action on global warming,
1402
01:17:04,731 --> 01:17:06,565
cut taxes for the super rich,
1403
01:17:06,566 --> 01:17:09,735
and gut regulations
for massive corporations.
1404
01:17:09,736 --> 01:17:11,112
And then there was Cheney's
1405
01:17:11,113 --> 01:17:13,948
National Energy Policy
Development Group.
1406
01:17:13,949 --> 01:17:18,077
His first major test
to expand executive power.
1407
01:17:18,078 --> 01:17:20,246
I don't understand
what the goddamn problem is.
1408
01:17:20,247 --> 01:17:21,914
I want to hear
what the energy CEOs need,
1409
01:17:21,915 --> 01:17:23,290
and I'm not allowed to?
1410
01:17:23,291 --> 01:17:25,251
It's called FACA.
The hell is FACA?
1411
01:17:25,252 --> 01:17:27,086
It's the Federal
Advisory Committees Act.
1412
01:17:27,087 --> 01:17:29,880
Congress got their panties
in a bunch that, you know,
1413
01:17:29,881 --> 01:17:32,842
elected officials would
just let CEOs roll in
1414
01:17:32,843 --> 01:17:34,709
and, you know, write the laws.
1415
01:17:36,805 --> 01:17:38,597
The act demands that, uh,
1416
01:17:38,598 --> 01:17:42,852
appropriate government employees
be present.
1417
01:17:42,853 --> 01:17:44,344
Hold on a second.
1418
01:17:45,981 --> 01:17:47,898
What's your name?
1419
01:17:47,899 --> 01:17:49,191
Doug.
1420
01:17:49,192 --> 01:17:52,194
Doug, how long have you
been working reception
1421
01:17:52,195 --> 01:17:53,527
at the Department of Energy?
1422
01:17:54,865 --> 01:17:56,699
Three months.
1423
01:17:56,700 --> 01:17:57,700
Perfect.
1424
01:18:01,329 --> 01:18:03,622
So what am I supposed to do here?
1425
01:18:03,623 --> 01:18:06,000
Just sit there and be quiet.
1426
01:18:06,001 --> 01:18:07,037
Got it.
1427
01:18:11,173 --> 01:18:13,381
Gentlemen.
Hello.
1428
01:18:14,801 --> 01:18:16,594
Hello...
1429
01:18:18,847 --> 01:18:20,222
How's your business at...
1430
01:18:20,223 --> 01:18:23,934
- We're good.
- Our stock...
1431
01:18:23,935 --> 01:18:26,979
And California has been really...
1432
01:18:26,980 --> 01:18:28,780
- since deregulation.
- Great to hear.
1433
01:18:29,649 --> 01:18:32,735
Oh. He's with the energy department.
1434
01:18:36,198 --> 01:18:38,073
The details
of Cheney's meetings
1435
01:18:38,074 --> 01:18:41,660
with the energy CEOs
were never disclosed.
1436
01:18:41,661 --> 01:18:44,121
But a Freedom of Information request
1437
01:18:44,122 --> 01:18:46,123
did provide some documents,
1438
01:18:46,124 --> 01:18:48,459
including a map of Iraq's oil fields
1439
01:18:48,460 --> 01:18:50,044
with all of the oil companies
1440
01:18:50,045 --> 01:18:52,796
that would be interested
in acquiring them
1441
01:18:52,797 --> 01:18:56,711
if somehow they were ever
to become available.
1442
01:18:59,763 --> 01:19:03,015
And then, it happened.
1443
01:19:03,016 --> 01:19:05,976
Would you like to lower
your monthly mortgage payments
1444
01:19:05,977 --> 01:19:08,187
or use the equity in your home
to consolidate
1445
01:19:08,188 --> 01:19:09,939
your credit card or other debts?
1446
01:19:09,940 --> 01:19:11,190
Just log...
1447
01:19:11,191 --> 01:19:12,524
Yeah. This just in.
1448
01:19:12,525 --> 01:19:14,026
You are looking at obviously
1449
01:19:14,027 --> 01:19:15,778
a very disturbing live shot there.
1450
01:19:15,779 --> 01:19:17,154
That is the World Trade Center,
1451
01:19:17,155 --> 01:19:20,032
and we have unconfirmed
reports this morning
1452
01:19:20,033 --> 01:19:23,026
that a plane has crashed
into one of the towers.
1453
01:19:24,037 --> 01:19:25,871
It... it does not appear
1454
01:19:25,872 --> 01:19:28,040
that there's any kind
of an effort up there yet.
1455
01:19:28,041 --> 01:19:29,541
Now, remember... Oh, my God.
1456
01:19:29,542 --> 01:19:31,418
Oh, God!
Dear God.
1457
01:19:31,419 --> 01:19:32,920
That looks like a second plane.
1458
01:19:32,921 --> 01:19:34,463
Mr. Vice President,
we have information
1459
01:19:34,464 --> 01:19:36,298
that a plane's headed to
the White House this moment.
1460
01:19:36,299 --> 01:19:38,133
We have less than a minute to get
to the secure underground bunker.
1461
01:19:38,134 --> 01:19:39,796
Let's go! Move!
1462
01:19:41,137 --> 01:19:42,304
Move!
1463
01:19:42,305 --> 01:19:43,306
Move! It's clear!
1464
01:19:43,307 --> 01:19:45,182
Sir, this way. Right now.
1465
01:19:45,183 --> 01:19:47,059
Capitol is being
evacuated, we're told,
1466
01:19:47,060 --> 01:19:49,979
and clearly that shot that
we have on our screen now,
1467
01:19:49,980 --> 01:19:51,522
this is the Pentagon
1468
01:19:51,523 --> 01:19:54,108
just across the river
from Washington, D.C.
1469
01:19:54,109 --> 01:19:55,150
You got to believe...
1470
01:19:55,151 --> 01:19:56,902
I need you to take me to Dick.
1471
01:19:56,903 --> 01:19:59,571
Mrs. Cheney, we cannot
go back to the White House,
1472
01:19:59,572 --> 01:20:00,990
I am being told no one...
1473
01:20:00,991 --> 01:20:02,700
Either you take me
to the White House...
1474
01:20:11,584 --> 01:20:14,372
Author is on the move.
Coming out.
1475
01:20:15,630 --> 01:20:18,590
...the Twin Towers
of the World Trade Center.
1476
01:20:18,591 --> 01:20:20,718
Have you gotten
the Prime Minister yet?
1477
01:20:20,719 --> 01:20:22,678
...headed directly
into the World Trade Center.
1478
01:20:22,679 --> 01:20:24,179
It just flew into it.
1479
01:20:24,180 --> 01:20:26,098
Canada's prime minister
is on the phone.
1480
01:20:26,099 --> 01:20:27,516
That's right,
we got planes in the air
1481
01:20:27,517 --> 01:20:29,268
and nowhere for them to land.
1482
01:20:29,269 --> 01:20:32,021
Permission for them
to land at Canadian airports,
1483
01:20:32,022 --> 01:20:33,605
international flights
into Newfoundland.
1484
01:20:33,606 --> 01:20:35,524
I still have one plane
unaccounted for
1485
01:20:35,525 --> 01:20:36,608
flying over Pennsylvania.
1486
01:20:36,609 --> 01:20:37,693
Sir, Donald Rumsfeld
1487
01:20:37,694 --> 01:20:38,819
is at the Pentagon on line three.
1488
01:20:38,820 --> 01:20:40,112
- That?
- Mm-hmm.
1489
01:20:40,113 --> 01:20:41,113
Yes, sir.
1490
01:20:42,657 --> 01:20:44,658
You have authorization
1491
01:20:44,659 --> 01:20:47,286
to shoot down any aircraft
1492
01:20:47,287 --> 01:20:49,038
deemed a threat.
1493
01:20:49,039 --> 01:20:50,706
Presidential authority?
1494
01:20:50,707 --> 01:20:51,790
That is correct.
1495
01:20:51,791 --> 01:20:53,584
All orders are UNODIR.
1496
01:20:53,585 --> 01:20:55,919
- "UNODIR", sir?
- Unless otherwise directed.
1497
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,464
Mr. Vice President,
are we sure these are
1498
01:20:58,465 --> 01:21:00,507
the proper rules of engagement?
1499
01:21:00,508 --> 01:21:02,885
The country's under attack,
the ROE is fluid.
1500
01:21:02,886 --> 01:21:05,262
- David... Addington, David.
- Yes, sir.
1501
01:21:05,263 --> 01:21:06,889
Now, we don't know exactly
1502
01:21:06,890 --> 01:21:09,433
what the people
in that room were thinking.
1503
01:21:09,434 --> 01:21:11,560
But it's safe to assume
1504
01:21:11,561 --> 01:21:14,938
that at least one
person wondered why
1505
01:21:14,939 --> 01:21:16,857
in the midst of the most fateful day
1506
01:21:16,858 --> 01:21:18,817
in American history
1507
01:21:18,818 --> 01:21:21,612
was Dick Cheney
talking to his lawyer.
1508
01:21:21,613 --> 01:21:23,489
And, um, what, um...
1509
01:21:23,490 --> 01:21:25,949
Mr. Vice President?
...authority will he need?
1510
01:21:25,950 --> 01:21:27,409
So, start working on...
1511
01:21:27,410 --> 01:21:28,410
Mr. Vice President?
1512
01:21:29,662 --> 01:21:31,246
The congressional members you sent
1513
01:21:31,247 --> 01:21:32,831
to Mount Weather
Emergency Operations Center
1514
01:21:32,832 --> 01:21:35,042
wanna leave.
Nope.
1515
01:21:35,043 --> 01:21:36,460
Excuse me?
1516
01:21:36,461 --> 01:21:38,504
They're not going anywhere.
1517
01:21:38,505 --> 01:21:42,465
Just, uh, tell them, um,
we have all the helicopters.
1518
01:21:43,718 --> 01:21:44,799
Yes, sir.
1519
01:21:46,012 --> 01:21:47,388
I'm sorry, that is a negative.
1520
01:21:47,389 --> 01:21:49,515
They are to remain where they are.
1521
01:21:49,516 --> 01:21:51,558
There's no helicopters
available for evac.
1522
01:21:51,559 --> 01:21:53,560
That is correct.
1523
01:21:53,561 --> 01:21:55,974
If you would be so kind
to relay that information.
1524
01:21:58,775 --> 01:21:59,775
Are we at war?
1525
01:22:01,111 --> 01:22:02,653
Yes, we are.
1526
01:22:02,654 --> 01:22:04,113
With whom?
1527
01:22:16,626 --> 01:22:18,085
Depot street.
1528
01:22:18,086 --> 01:22:19,253
Truck pulling in across
from Depot Street.
1529
01:22:25,260 --> 01:22:28,178
Unit 9-3.
0-3-15 negative.
1530
01:22:31,224 --> 01:22:33,559
1-5-2-7, Brian.
1531
01:22:33,560 --> 01:22:35,018
God damn it.
1532
01:22:35,019 --> 01:22:36,395
We picked up chatter
1533
01:22:36,396 --> 01:22:38,605
from well-known Al-Qaeda operatives
1534
01:22:38,606 --> 01:22:40,315
celebrating today's attack.
1535
01:22:40,316 --> 01:22:41,692
We shouldn't
rule out Iraq.
1536
01:22:41,693 --> 01:22:43,694
But what's
Al-Qaeda's leader's name?
1537
01:22:43,695 --> 01:22:45,988
His name is Osama bin Laden.
1538
01:22:45,989 --> 01:22:47,573
But this is
clearly Al-Qaeda.
1539
01:22:47,574 --> 01:22:49,741
I've been tracking their movements
for years.
1540
01:22:49,742 --> 01:22:51,160
Their fingerprints
are all over this.
1541
01:22:51,161 --> 01:22:52,948
Iraq has all the good targets.
1542
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:55,539
Iraq has nothing to do with
this, Don.
1543
01:22:55,540 --> 01:22:57,207
Richard, you
don't know that for sure.
1544
01:22:57,208 --> 01:22:58,667
I do know that.
1545
01:22:58,668 --> 01:22:59,751
Mr. President, if I may.
1546
01:23:00,962 --> 01:23:04,006
Afghanistan is
Al-Qaeda's headquarters.
1547
01:23:04,007 --> 01:23:05,466
- That is where our focus should be.
- Yeah.
1548
01:23:05,467 --> 01:23:08,719
And the CIA would
be capable of taking out
1549
01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:10,095
the Taliban's power structure.
1550
01:23:10,096 --> 01:23:12,181
Yeah.
All due respect, George,
1551
01:23:12,182 --> 01:23:13,640
Mr. President...
1552
01:23:13,641 --> 01:23:15,058
we are the Pentagon,
1553
01:23:15,059 --> 01:23:16,727
and this is what we do.
1554
01:23:16,728 --> 01:23:17,889
Don.
1555
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:33,160
Okay. We'll, uh, we'll go
with Tenet and the CIA.
1556
01:23:33,161 --> 01:23:35,454
I'll make some calls
to our allies.
1557
01:23:35,455 --> 01:23:36,456
Thank you, sir.
1558
01:23:39,751 --> 01:23:43,879
I think, uh, given the current
situation, Mr. President,
1559
01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,549
it is wise that we not be
in the same location
1560
01:23:47,550 --> 01:23:51,178
for COG,
Continuity of Government.
1561
01:23:51,179 --> 01:23:53,262
Of course.
1562
01:23:54,265 --> 01:23:56,097
We gonna be all right
on this, aren't we?
1563
01:23:57,435 --> 01:24:00,553
Yes, sir. Yes, we are.
1564
01:24:04,484 --> 01:24:06,944
Angler has taken
off to an undisclosed location.
1565
01:24:06,945 --> 01:24:08,862
I repeat, Angler is airborne.
1566
01:24:08,863 --> 01:24:11,073
Angler? That's the VP?
1567
01:24:11,074 --> 01:24:12,616
I thought only the
president could land
1568
01:24:12,617 --> 01:24:14,409
and take off from the south lawn.
1569
01:24:14,410 --> 01:24:15,702
What can I tell you?
1570
01:24:15,703 --> 01:24:16,944
Today's fucked.
1571
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,731
This intelligence
has been edited,
1572
01:24:44,732 --> 01:24:47,276
redacted, and reduced.
1573
01:24:47,277 --> 01:24:49,278
Mr. Vice President, usually we vet
1574
01:24:49,279 --> 01:24:50,779
the daily intelligence threat matrix
1575
01:24:50,780 --> 01:24:53,073
to eliminate unreliable sources,
non-players...
1576
01:24:53,074 --> 01:24:57,785
Stop. Don't you dare give me
a damn disquisition...
1577
01:24:58,830 --> 01:25:00,455
on what I cannot hear.
1578
01:25:00,456 --> 01:25:02,457
Mr. Vice President,
1579
01:25:02,458 --> 01:25:04,138
a lot of this intelligence
is not verified.
1580
01:25:05,461 --> 01:25:06,837
I'm gonna say this
for the last time.
1581
01:25:06,838 --> 01:25:07,839
I want to hear everything
1582
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,465
every day, from now on.
1583
01:25:10,466 --> 01:25:11,758
Yes, sir.
1584
01:25:11,759 --> 01:25:14,136
Proceed.
1585
01:25:14,137 --> 01:25:16,388
We're tracking the possibility
of bio-attacks
1586
01:25:16,389 --> 01:25:19,933
using Sarin gas, cowpox, Ebola.
1587
01:25:19,934 --> 01:25:22,517
There was a post on
a dark website...
1588
01:25:23,980 --> 01:25:26,523
about mass beheadings
in residential areas.
1589
01:25:26,524 --> 01:25:28,025
Movie studios, museums,
1590
01:25:28,026 --> 01:25:31,111
subways, daycare centers
may all be targets.
1591
01:25:31,112 --> 01:25:32,487
A source has told an asset
1592
01:25:32,488 --> 01:25:34,531
about fire-bombs
targeting hospitals.
1593
01:25:34,532 --> 01:25:35,907
A video was captured
1594
01:25:35,908 --> 01:25:37,868
describing televised executions
1595
01:25:37,869 --> 01:25:39,911
interrupting American network TV.
1596
01:25:39,912 --> 01:25:41,705
Sporting
events, tourist attractions,
1597
01:25:41,706 --> 01:25:43,123
New Year's celebrations,
religious ceremonies,
1598
01:25:43,124 --> 01:25:45,083
are all hard targets.
1599
01:25:45,084 --> 01:25:46,460
Machine-gun
attacks at high-profile...
1600
01:25:46,461 --> 01:25:48,128
Biological agents inside...
1601
01:25:48,129 --> 01:25:49,504
Coordinated fire-bombings
1602
01:25:49,505 --> 01:25:51,506
of commuter trains
across North America.
1603
01:25:51,507 --> 01:25:53,425
Water filtration
plants targeted with bio-weapons
1604
01:25:53,426 --> 01:25:54,551
and killing a million people.
1605
01:25:54,552 --> 01:25:56,053
A briefcase nuke
1606
01:25:56,054 --> 01:25:58,055
being driven into
a major city and detonated.
1607
01:25:58,056 --> 01:25:59,348
Airborne bio-weapons can be put
1608
01:25:59,349 --> 01:26:00,891
into the air conditioning units
1609
01:26:00,892 --> 01:26:03,143
of large shopping malls
or casinos.
1610
01:26:03,144 --> 01:26:04,978
A beloved
celebrity has been targeted
1611
01:26:04,979 --> 01:26:06,271
for kidnapping and
possibly beheading.
1612
01:26:06,272 --> 01:26:07,731
Phosphorus bombs,
1613
01:26:07,732 --> 01:26:09,815
chlorine attacks, mustard gas,
cluster bombs...
1614
01:26:18,868 --> 01:26:20,359
I'm scared, Dick.
1615
01:26:28,211 --> 01:26:30,123
I'll always take care of you, Lynne.
1616
01:26:31,798 --> 01:26:32,798
You know that.
1617
01:26:36,052 --> 01:26:37,463
What are you going to do?
1618
01:27:18,302 --> 01:27:19,845
Move, move, move!
1619
01:27:26,519 --> 01:27:29,062
So, while Powell, the CIA,
1620
01:27:29,063 --> 01:27:30,897
and their international coalition
1621
01:27:30,898 --> 01:27:33,400
toppled the Taliban
and took Afghanistan
1622
01:27:33,401 --> 01:27:35,110
in a matter of weeks,
1623
01:27:35,111 --> 01:27:37,946
Cheney had found something
much more powerful
1624
01:27:37,947 --> 01:27:40,564
than missiles or jet planes.
1625
01:27:41,868 --> 01:27:43,952
Mr. Vice President,
this is John Yoo.
1626
01:27:43,953 --> 01:27:45,833
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Mr. Vice President.
1627
01:27:47,957 --> 01:27:49,249
So David told
me you're looking
1628
01:27:49,250 --> 01:27:51,585
for executive authority.
1629
01:27:51,586 --> 01:27:53,086
Mm-hmm.
1630
01:27:53,087 --> 01:27:54,171
John here
is definitely your guy.
1631
01:27:55,673 --> 01:27:58,383
The war we're now fighting
1632
01:27:58,384 --> 01:28:01,798
will require resources
and abilities that the, uh...
1633
01:28:03,306 --> 01:28:07,893
the current interpretation
of the law... impedes.
1634
01:28:07,894 --> 01:28:09,102
The vice president believes
1635
01:28:09,103 --> 01:28:11,021
it is the duty
of the commander-in-chief
1636
01:28:11,022 --> 01:28:12,147
to protect the nation
1637
01:28:12,148 --> 01:28:13,356
and that no other obligation,
1638
01:28:13,357 --> 01:28:14,983
whether to Congress
or existing treaty
1639
01:28:14,984 --> 01:28:16,145
supersedes that duty.
1640
01:28:17,528 --> 01:28:18,968
How do you feel
about that statement?
1641
01:28:20,364 --> 01:28:21,364
I couldn't agree more.
1642
01:28:23,159 --> 01:28:25,535
John Yoo's
first legal opinion
1643
01:28:25,536 --> 01:28:27,704
allowed the US government
1644
01:28:27,705 --> 01:28:30,874
to monitor every
citizens' phone calls,
1645
01:28:30,875 --> 01:28:33,168
texts, and e-mails
without a warrant.
1646
01:28:34,712 --> 01:28:38,131
It was a giant legal leap
1647
01:28:38,132 --> 01:28:40,249
based on sketchy law at best.
1648
01:28:41,302 --> 01:28:43,845
But John Yoo's masterpiece,
1649
01:28:43,846 --> 01:28:46,384
his Moby-Dick, if you will,
1650
01:28:47,809 --> 01:28:49,643
was the torture memo.
1651
01:28:49,644 --> 01:28:51,476
...your fucking contact is!
1652
01:28:52,855 --> 01:28:54,231
Where're your fucking hands?
1653
01:28:54,232 --> 01:28:56,269
What about the Geneva Convention?
1654
01:28:57,360 --> 01:28:59,402
The Geneva Convention
is open to interpretation.
1655
01:28:59,403 --> 01:29:01,279
What exactly does that mean?
1656
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,032
Stress positions,
1657
01:29:04,033 --> 01:29:05,575
waterboarding,
confined spaces, dogs...
1658
01:29:05,576 --> 01:29:07,256
We're calling it
"enhanced interrogation."
1659
01:29:08,287 --> 01:29:09,913
Are we sure none of this fits
1660
01:29:09,914 --> 01:29:11,581
in the definition of "torture"?
1661
01:29:11,582 --> 01:29:12,999
The US doesn't torture.
1662
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:17,170
Therefore, if the US does it,
1663
01:29:17,171 --> 01:29:20,215
by definition, it can't be torture.
1664
01:29:24,262 --> 01:29:25,846
But torture
and privacy laws
1665
01:29:25,847 --> 01:29:28,640
weren't the only laws Cheney
re-wrote with John Yoo.
1666
01:29:28,641 --> 01:29:31,852
They had a full menu
of legal opinions
1667
01:29:31,853 --> 01:29:34,062
stretching and
challenging constitutional
1668
01:29:34,063 --> 01:29:35,814
and international law.
1669
01:29:35,815 --> 01:29:37,691
Good evening, gentlemen.
1670
01:29:37,692 --> 01:29:40,819
Tonight we're offering
the enemy combatant,
1671
01:29:40,820 --> 01:29:43,363
whereby a person
is not a prisoner of war,
1672
01:29:43,364 --> 01:29:45,240
or a criminal,
which means of course
1673
01:29:45,241 --> 01:29:47,868
that he has absolutely
no protection under the law.
1674
01:29:47,869 --> 01:29:50,537
We're also offering
an extraordinary rendition
1675
01:29:50,538 --> 01:29:53,999
where suspects are abducted
without record on foreign soil
1676
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:55,375
and taken to foreign prisons
1677
01:29:55,376 --> 01:29:56,793
in countries that still torture.
1678
01:29:56,794 --> 01:29:58,461
Oh, that sounds delicious.
1679
01:29:58,462 --> 01:30:00,297
We also have Guantanamo Bay,
1680
01:30:00,298 --> 01:30:02,299
which is very, very complicated,
1681
01:30:02,300 --> 01:30:04,092
but it does allow you to operate
1682
01:30:04,093 --> 01:30:06,511
outside the purview of due process
1683
01:30:06,512 --> 01:30:09,014
on land which isn't
technically US territory,
1684
01:30:09,015 --> 01:30:11,182
but where we still
do have control.
1685
01:30:11,183 --> 01:30:13,643
And also, we have
a very fresh and delicious
1686
01:30:13,644 --> 01:30:15,937
War Powers Act interpretation
1687
01:30:15,938 --> 01:30:18,106
which gives the executive
branch broad powers
1688
01:30:18,107 --> 01:30:20,567
to attack nations or people
1689
01:30:20,568 --> 01:30:22,903
who it deems still
possibly a threat.
1690
01:30:22,904 --> 01:30:25,947
We have the fact that under
the unitary executive theory,
1691
01:30:25,948 --> 01:30:27,574
if the president does anything,
1692
01:30:27,575 --> 01:30:29,326
it must be legal.
1693
01:30:29,327 --> 01:30:32,287
Which, of course, means you can
do whatever the fuck you want.
1694
01:30:32,288 --> 01:30:33,663
So, gentlemen,
1695
01:30:33,664 --> 01:30:34,748
which would you like?
1696
01:30:34,749 --> 01:30:37,667
Hmm. We'll, uh...
We'll have them all.
1697
01:30:37,668 --> 01:30:39,044
Excellent choice.
1698
01:30:39,045 --> 01:30:40,045
Thank you.
1699
01:30:41,172 --> 01:30:44,424
Look, Dick,
uh, we've been working
1700
01:30:44,425 --> 01:30:46,760
with these focus groups
and advertising executives
1701
01:30:46,761 --> 01:30:49,012
to try and sell the War on Terror.
1702
01:30:49,013 --> 01:30:51,598
I'll reiterate,
we are still being recorded,
1703
01:30:51,599 --> 01:30:53,475
and there still may
or may not be clients
1704
01:30:53,476 --> 01:30:54,601
back behind the two-way mirrors...
1705
01:30:54,602 --> 01:30:57,354
These guys are pretty sharp.
1706
01:30:57,355 --> 01:30:58,355
Go on.
1707
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:00,732
There's a problem.
1708
01:31:00,733 --> 01:31:02,442
The results show
that people are confused.
1709
01:31:02,443 --> 01:31:05,028
You all
support the president,
1710
01:31:05,029 --> 01:31:08,990
you hate terrorism,
yet you're still confused.
1711
01:31:08,991 --> 01:31:11,324
Can you tell me why? Anybody?
1712
01:31:12,578 --> 01:31:15,997
Don't we have to just get
Osama bin Laden? He did it.
1713
01:31:15,998 --> 01:31:19,000
So why are they calling it a war?
A war with who?
1714
01:31:19,001 --> 01:31:20,502
Okay, thank you, Mark.
1715
01:31:20,503 --> 01:31:23,004
Uh, Jasmine, jump in, please.
1716
01:31:23,005 --> 01:31:25,632
I don't get what this Al-Qaeda is.
1717
01:31:25,633 --> 01:31:28,093
Are they a country, like,
why can't we just bomb them?
1718
01:31:28,094 --> 01:31:29,636
That's
really interesting.
1719
01:31:29,637 --> 01:31:33,431
Um, is anybody else confused
about what Al-Qaeda is?
1720
01:31:33,432 --> 01:31:34,891
Show of hands, please.
1721
01:31:34,892 --> 01:31:37,310
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven...
1722
01:31:37,311 --> 01:31:40,021
That's a lot of you. Right?
1723
01:31:40,022 --> 01:31:41,982
Would it be less confusing
1724
01:31:41,983 --> 01:31:43,358
if it was a country?
1725
01:31:43,359 --> 01:31:44,484
Damn right.
1726
01:31:44,485 --> 01:31:45,771
I'm angry as hell.
1727
01:31:46,821 --> 01:31:49,489
We've got to fuck someone up.
1728
01:31:49,490 --> 01:31:51,116
Got it. Mark.
1729
01:31:51,117 --> 01:31:53,284
Really strong feelings coming
from Mark. I'm interested.
1730
01:31:53,285 --> 01:31:54,828
Does anybody else feel
the same or agree...
1731
01:31:54,829 --> 01:31:56,661
They understand we're at war, but...
1732
01:31:57,707 --> 01:31:59,374
they don't know against who.
1733
01:31:59,375 --> 01:32:01,126
They want a country.
1734
01:32:01,127 --> 01:32:02,627
It's cleaner, simpler.
1735
01:32:02,628 --> 01:32:04,254
That would
certainly help us legally.
1736
01:32:04,255 --> 01:32:05,496
Hmm. Well...
1737
01:32:06,966 --> 01:32:08,923
looks like it's time to take Iraq.
1738
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,133
It is about goddamn time.
1739
01:32:17,018 --> 01:32:21,646
It's called the
Office of Special Plans.
1740
01:32:21,647 --> 01:32:24,774
Tenet is not yet serious enough
1741
01:32:24,775 --> 01:32:27,318
about the threat that Saddam poses
1742
01:32:27,319 --> 01:32:28,776
to the global war on terror.
1743
01:32:30,114 --> 01:32:31,823
But I can promise you
1744
01:32:31,824 --> 01:32:33,950
that this intelligence
group will be.
1745
01:32:33,951 --> 01:32:35,118
Wolfie, I got something.
1746
01:32:35,119 --> 01:32:36,453
Truck transmissions.
1747
01:32:36,454 --> 01:32:38,079
If there's a donkey
with a radio up his ass,
1748
01:32:38,080 --> 01:32:39,164
I wanna know what it's transmitting.
1749
01:32:39,165 --> 01:32:40,872
I think that's an excellent idea.
1750
01:32:43,377 --> 01:32:45,545
I've been wantin' to take
that motherfucker Saddam down
1751
01:32:45,546 --> 01:32:47,255
for a long time.
Hmm.
1752
01:32:47,256 --> 01:32:49,299
Here's a report
that says Mohamed Atta,
1753
01:32:49,300 --> 01:32:50,759
one of the 9-11 hijackers,
1754
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,553
may have met with
an Iraqi spy in Prague.
1755
01:32:53,554 --> 01:32:55,013
It's a really
strong statement.
1756
01:32:55,014 --> 01:32:56,890
Does anybody agree
with that statement?
1757
01:32:56,891 --> 01:32:59,601
Wait a minute.
We can't just bomb people.
1758
01:32:59,602 --> 01:33:00,643
- Oh, please.
- Yeah, no.
1759
01:33:00,644 --> 01:33:01,853
It's from Czech intelligence,
1760
01:33:01,854 --> 01:33:03,813
and they question its credibility.
1761
01:33:03,814 --> 01:33:05,857
I've been to Prague.
They question everything.
1762
01:33:05,858 --> 01:33:08,860
Who wants to be an anonymous source?
1763
01:33:08,861 --> 01:33:10,612
Make sure you work in the phrase,
1764
01:33:10,613 --> 01:33:13,198
"We don't want the smoking gun
to be a mushroom cloud."
1765
01:33:13,199 --> 01:33:14,699
That focus-grouped through the roof.
1766
01:33:14,700 --> 01:33:17,118
There will
always be uncertainty
1767
01:33:17,119 --> 01:33:20,121
about when he will acquire
nuclear weapons.
1768
01:33:20,122 --> 01:33:22,499
But we don't want
the smoking gun
1769
01:33:22,500 --> 01:33:23,917
to be a mushroom cloud.
1770
01:33:23,918 --> 01:33:25,960
There is a smoking gun
or a mushroom cloud
1771
01:33:25,961 --> 01:33:27,879
- we have waited too long.
- Simply stated,
1772
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,340
there is no doubt
that Saddam Hussein
1773
01:33:30,341 --> 01:33:32,592
now has weapons of mass destruction.
1774
01:33:32,593 --> 01:33:34,427
We got to get rid of this dictator.
1775
01:33:34,428 --> 01:33:36,096
He's got anthrax,
he's got all these weapons...
1776
01:33:36,097 --> 01:33:38,181
There is no doubt
he is amassing them
1777
01:33:38,182 --> 01:33:39,808
to use them against our friends,
1778
01:33:39,809 --> 01:33:41,893
against our allies,
and against us.
1779
01:33:41,894 --> 01:33:44,813
When, and not if, but when
1780
01:33:44,814 --> 01:33:47,690
Saddam creates
and uses nuclear weapons,
1781
01:33:47,691 --> 01:33:49,609
what will we tell
the American people?
1782
01:33:49,610 --> 01:33:53,446
Saddam Hussein will continue
to increase his capacity
1783
01:33:53,447 --> 01:33:55,573
to wage biological
and chemical warfare.
1784
01:33:55,574 --> 01:33:56,866
- Hello?
- Whassup!
1785
01:34:01,372 --> 01:34:04,124
To show that we will stand up
for what we know to be right,
1786
01:34:04,125 --> 01:34:06,417
to show that we will confront
the tyrannies
1787
01:34:06,418 --> 01:34:08,002
and dictatorships and terrorists
1788
01:34:08,003 --> 01:34:09,963
who put our way of life at risk.
1789
01:34:09,964 --> 01:34:11,798
...of winning
a second UN resolution
1790
01:34:11,799 --> 01:34:13,716
authorizing war against Iraq.
1791
01:34:13,717 --> 01:34:15,385
So tonight President Bush...
1792
01:34:15,386 --> 01:34:17,512
...and the hopes
of an oppressed people...
1793
01:34:17,513 --> 01:34:18,549
The tribe has spoken.
1794
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,060
Polling for an invasion of Iraq
1795
01:34:24,061 --> 01:34:26,229
is at 53 percent.
1796
01:34:26,230 --> 01:34:27,689
Focus groups show people
1797
01:34:27,690 --> 01:34:29,774
still aren't sure about a connection
1798
01:34:29,775 --> 01:34:32,527
between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.
1799
01:34:32,528 --> 01:34:34,028
And France and Germany
have both said
1800
01:34:34,029 --> 01:34:35,822
that they will not join
our coalition
1801
01:34:35,823 --> 01:34:37,699
And neither will Israel.
1802
01:34:37,700 --> 01:34:40,785
Ariel and I we went
to the Wall together with Condi.
1803
01:34:40,786 --> 01:34:41,995
We-we prayed together.
1804
01:34:41,996 --> 01:34:44,164
Israel's one of our closest allies.
1805
01:34:44,165 --> 01:34:47,333
They said an invasion
of Iraq would...
1806
01:34:47,334 --> 01:34:49,627
destabilize the region, sir,
1807
01:34:49,628 --> 01:34:51,909
and that they don't believe
Saddam is an immediate threat.
1808
01:34:52,423 --> 01:34:53,923
That's not good.
1809
01:34:53,924 --> 01:34:56,634
I really want
a strong coalition for this.
1810
01:34:56,635 --> 01:34:58,303
I have an idea.
1811
01:34:58,304 --> 01:35:00,221
Secretary Powell has the highest
1812
01:35:00,222 --> 01:35:02,259
trustworthy ratings of all of us.
1813
01:35:03,392 --> 01:35:05,518
What if he gave an address
to the UN
1814
01:35:05,519 --> 01:35:07,353
and the American people
1815
01:35:07,354 --> 01:35:09,439
to push this over the finish line?
1816
01:35:09,440 --> 01:35:11,649
Karl, I have been very vocal,
1817
01:35:11,650 --> 01:35:14,068
very vocal about my reservations
about invading Iraq.
1818
01:35:14,069 --> 01:35:17,822
Oh! Colin, you're such
a nervous Nellie.
1819
01:35:17,823 --> 01:35:19,949
We are talking about invading...
A worry wart.
1820
01:35:19,950 --> 01:35:21,701
...a sovereign nation...
Sovereign nation?
1821
01:35:21,702 --> 01:35:23,995
- ...without any provocation, Don.
- Don't give me that...
1822
01:35:23,996 --> 01:35:25,455
It is a sovereign
nation, Don.
1823
01:35:25,456 --> 01:35:26,956
...in any way, shape,
or form. You're wrong.
1824
01:35:26,957 --> 01:35:28,249
What's
the exit strategy?
1825
01:35:28,250 --> 01:35:30,543
What, what about the intelligence?
1826
01:35:30,544 --> 01:35:32,253
Does intelligence matter to you at
all? The exit strategy. Oh, please.
1827
01:35:32,254 --> 01:35:33,755
You break it, you bought it.
You know you're wrong.
1828
01:35:33,756 --> 01:35:35,298
You break it, you bought it.
You're a chicken-shit.
1829
01:35:35,299 --> 01:35:37,258
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, all right.
1830
01:35:37,259 --> 01:35:38,885
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
1831
01:35:38,886 --> 01:35:40,047
Let-let's slow down.
1832
01:35:41,222 --> 01:35:42,764
That's enough of that, you guys.
1833
01:35:42,765 --> 01:35:43,926
Well, are you...
1834
01:35:45,351 --> 01:35:48,094
gonna take Saddam down or not?
1835
01:35:49,230 --> 01:35:51,267
You are the president.
1836
01:35:54,068 --> 01:35:57,687
War... is yours.
1837
01:35:59,573 --> 01:36:02,992
Not the UN, not some coalition.
1838
01:36:02,993 --> 01:36:04,950
Do not share powers...
1839
01:36:06,205 --> 01:36:07,787
that are yours alone.
1840
01:36:15,547 --> 01:36:18,758
George, make sure Powell sees
the intelligence.
1841
01:36:18,759 --> 01:36:20,468
Yes, sir.
1842
01:36:20,469 --> 01:36:22,637
Colin, I want
you to make that speech.
1843
01:36:22,638 --> 01:36:24,722
I'm president,
and I want this to happen.
1844
01:36:24,723 --> 01:36:25,848
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
1845
01:36:25,849 --> 01:36:27,642
Yes, sir.
1846
01:36:27,643 --> 01:36:29,519
I look forward to being briefed
on that intelligence.
1847
01:36:29,520 --> 01:36:32,272
On another note, I've been
handed a credible report
1848
01:36:32,273 --> 01:36:35,858
of a small terrorist enclave
in North Eastern Iraq.
1849
01:36:35,859 --> 01:36:36,943
If we're gonna invade,
1850
01:36:36,944 --> 01:36:38,736
we suggest taking it out before.
1851
01:36:38,737 --> 01:36:40,613
Let it go, George.
We have bigger fish to fry.
1852
01:36:40,614 --> 01:36:42,782
Let me see that intelligence.
1853
01:36:42,783 --> 01:36:44,409
Of course.
1854
01:36:44,410 --> 01:36:47,370
That classified document
1855
01:36:47,371 --> 01:36:51,791
described a terrorist named
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi
1856
01:36:51,792 --> 01:36:54,127
who had started
as a drug dealer and pimp
1857
01:36:54,128 --> 01:36:55,712
before becoming fully radicalized
1858
01:36:55,713 --> 01:36:58,047
in a Jordanian prison.
1859
01:36:58,048 --> 01:37:01,217
Zarqawi went to meet
bin Laden in Afghanistan.
1860
01:37:01,218 --> 01:37:03,845
Did he or did he not meet
with Al-Qaeda?
1861
01:37:03,846 --> 01:37:08,474
But Zarqawi had vowed
to kill all Shia Muslims,
1862
01:37:08,475 --> 01:37:11,853
and bin Laden's mother was Shia.
1863
01:37:11,854 --> 01:37:13,938
So the meeting didn't go over well.
1864
01:37:13,939 --> 01:37:15,565
They had no operational contact.
1865
01:37:15,566 --> 01:37:16,899
Hogwash.
1866
01:37:16,900 --> 01:37:19,902
Larry, have
you seen this speech?
1867
01:37:19,903 --> 01:37:21,529
Yes, sir. It's bone-thin.
1868
01:37:21,530 --> 01:37:24,115
I saw at least five pieces
of disproved Intel in there.
1869
01:37:24,116 --> 01:37:25,241
Who wrote it?
1870
01:37:25,242 --> 01:37:26,659
They said it was the president,
1871
01:37:26,660 --> 01:37:27,994
but I think you can guess
who really wrote it.
1872
01:37:27,995 --> 01:37:29,987
Well, there's no need to
yell, Larry.
1873
01:37:31,081 --> 01:37:34,459
Yeah, well,
we reviewed the speech,
1874
01:37:34,460 --> 01:37:36,076
we gave some notes.
1875
01:37:37,838 --> 01:37:41,466
Powell really doesn't have
a clue, does he?
1876
01:37:41,467 --> 01:37:43,968
After the US
invaded Afghanistan,
1877
01:37:43,969 --> 01:37:46,679
Zarqawi set up shop in Iraq.
1878
01:37:46,680 --> 01:37:49,349
It was the only
connection Cheney had
1879
01:37:49,350 --> 01:37:51,225
between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.
1880
01:37:51,226 --> 01:37:53,728
The Security Council will now begin
1881
01:37:53,729 --> 01:37:57,732
its consideration
of item two of the agenda.
1882
01:37:57,733 --> 01:37:59,734
I call now on the distinguished
1883
01:37:59,735 --> 01:38:01,110
Secretary of State
1884
01:38:01,111 --> 01:38:02,945
of the United States of America,
1885
01:38:02,946 --> 01:38:05,573
His Excellency,
Mr. Colin Powell.
1886
01:38:05,574 --> 01:38:08,368
My purpose here today
is to share with you
1887
01:38:08,369 --> 01:38:09,744
what the United States knows
1888
01:38:09,745 --> 01:38:12,955
about Iraq's weapons
of mass destruction
1889
01:38:12,956 --> 01:38:15,875
as well as Iraq's involvement
in terrorism.
1890
01:38:15,876 --> 01:38:18,878
Iraq, today, harbors
a deadly terrorist network
1891
01:38:18,879 --> 01:38:21,798
headed by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi,
1892
01:38:21,799 --> 01:38:24,092
an associate and collaborator...
1893
01:38:24,093 --> 01:38:26,761
Powell's UN address was
seen by millions of Americans,
1894
01:38:26,762 --> 01:38:29,347
but other people
were watching as well.
1895
01:38:29,348 --> 01:38:31,182
Collaborator
of Osama bin Laden
1896
01:38:31,183 --> 01:38:32,674
and his Al-Qaeda lieutenants...
1897
01:38:33,727 --> 01:38:35,603
Zarqawi's activities
are not confined...
1898
01:38:35,604 --> 01:38:37,021
The great
general of America
1899
01:38:37,022 --> 01:38:38,898
saying his name over and over again
1900
01:38:38,899 --> 01:38:41,484
immediately made Zarqawi a star.
1901
01:38:41,485 --> 01:38:43,403
Staying in the capital of Iraq...
1902
01:38:43,404 --> 01:38:44,779
Allahu Akbar!
1903
01:38:44,780 --> 01:38:47,031
Within a day,
he had gone into hiding.
1904
01:38:47,032 --> 01:38:49,951
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
1905
01:38:49,952 --> 01:38:52,954
...but these denials
are simply not credible.
1906
01:38:52,955 --> 01:38:55,415
They are simply not credible.
1907
01:38:55,416 --> 01:38:57,750
An Al-Qaeda source tells us that
1908
01:38:57,751 --> 01:38:59,836
Saddam and bin Laden
reached an understanding
1909
01:38:59,837 --> 01:39:02,171
that Al-Qaeda would no longer
1910
01:39:02,172 --> 01:39:04,590
support activities against Baghdad.
1911
01:39:04,591 --> 01:39:06,300
By the time
we invaded Iraq,
1912
01:39:06,301 --> 01:39:08,553
70 percent of Americans thought
1913
01:39:08,554 --> 01:39:11,012
that Saddam Hussein
was involved in 9-11.
1914
01:39:12,891 --> 01:39:16,185
Later, Colin Powell
would call the speech
1915
01:39:16,186 --> 01:39:18,938
the most painful moment of his life.
1916
01:39:21,859 --> 01:39:22,859
Thank you, sir.
1917
01:39:24,653 --> 01:39:26,446
And what was it?
Justin, right?
1918
01:39:26,447 --> 01:39:27,947
She can buy
her album now, Mom.
1919
01:39:27,948 --> 01:39:29,782
What was
the girl's name that won?
1920
01:39:29,783 --> 01:39:31,909
No, Kelly. And then Justin.
Last year.
1921
01:39:31,910 --> 01:39:33,411
What are
you talking about?
1922
01:39:33,412 --> 01:39:35,329
We're talking about
American Idol, Dad.
1923
01:39:35,330 --> 01:39:36,456
What is that?
1924
01:39:36,457 --> 01:39:37,915
We watched it.
You've seen it.
1925
01:39:37,916 --> 01:39:40,168
You've seen it...
I've watched it next to you.
1926
01:39:40,169 --> 01:39:41,961
The singing, and the
mean judge, and the...
1927
01:39:41,962 --> 01:39:43,463
I don't like that...
1928
01:39:43,464 --> 01:39:45,214
- The mean British judge?
- You liked it.
1929
01:39:45,215 --> 01:39:46,549
- You liked the mean British...
- Oh, I like him.
1930
01:39:46,550 --> 01:39:47,550
Yeah, you...
1931
01:39:48,552 --> 01:39:50,595
Do you know how
to stop a fish from smelling?
1932
01:39:50,596 --> 01:39:52,096
Very appropriate.
1933
01:39:52,097 --> 01:39:54,932
That's not a...
That's a terrible joke.
1934
01:39:54,933 --> 01:39:56,642
Well, I didn't finish it yet.
1935
01:39:56,643 --> 01:39:58,019
I mean, everybody.
1936
01:39:58,020 --> 01:40:00,396
You cut off its nose.
1937
01:40:00,397 --> 01:40:02,565
Wait, what?
1938
01:40:02,566 --> 01:40:04,567
I know, Grace,
cover your ears please.
1939
01:40:04,568 --> 01:40:07,695
Cheers, honey.
Cheers. Oh, my gosh.
1940
01:40:07,696 --> 01:40:09,280
- We're not.
- No, we're not.
1941
01:40:09,281 --> 01:40:10,698
We're not revisiting
1942
01:40:10,699 --> 01:40:13,784
your father's colorful
conversations...
1943
01:40:13,785 --> 01:40:15,401
Let's just say that your dad...
1944
01:40:25,506 --> 01:40:27,465
Again, another,
1945
01:40:27,466 --> 01:40:28,582
disintegrating...
1946
01:40:36,266 --> 01:40:38,434
Is the prompter
visible for you?
1947
01:40:38,435 --> 01:40:42,146
Yeah, yeah.
Bring it a little closer. Yeah.
1948
01:40:42,147 --> 01:40:44,106
How's my hair? All right?
1949
01:40:44,107 --> 01:40:46,234
Looks good.
Tie?
1950
01:40:46,235 --> 01:40:49,444
And we are five,
four, three...
1951
01:40:50,656 --> 01:40:52,907
My fellow citizens,
at this hour,
1952
01:40:52,908 --> 01:40:54,992
American and coalition forces
1953
01:40:54,993 --> 01:40:58,621
are in the early stages
of military operations
1954
01:40:58,622 --> 01:41:01,832
to disarm Iraq,
to free its people
1955
01:41:01,833 --> 01:41:04,075
and to defend the world
from grave danger.
1956
01:41:05,254 --> 01:41:08,422
On my orders, coalition forces
have begun striking
1957
01:41:08,423 --> 01:41:11,425
selected targets of
military importance
1958
01:41:11,426 --> 01:41:14,053
to undermine Saddam
Hussein's ability
1959
01:41:14,054 --> 01:41:15,805
to wage war.
1960
01:41:15,806 --> 01:41:17,974
These are opening stages
of what will be
1961
01:41:17,975 --> 01:41:21,561
a broad and concerted campaign.
1962
01:41:21,562 --> 01:41:24,438
To all the men and women of
the United States Armed Forces
1963
01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:26,440
now in the Middle East,
1964
01:41:26,441 --> 01:41:28,568
the peace of a troubled world
1965
01:41:28,569 --> 01:41:31,654
and the hopes of an
oppressed people...
1966
01:42:02,436 --> 01:42:04,103
Guys, over here.
Two o'clock.
1967
01:42:04,104 --> 01:42:05,605
Contact, two hundred yards.
1968
01:42:08,734 --> 01:42:10,401
This statement
from the White House,
1969
01:42:10,402 --> 01:42:13,863
President Bush regards this
as an historic moment.
1970
01:42:13,864 --> 01:42:15,615
The scenes on television show
1971
01:42:15,616 --> 01:42:19,076
the thirst for freedom
is unquenchable.
1972
01:42:19,077 --> 01:42:20,536
Striker One L-S-O,
1973
01:42:20,537 --> 01:42:21,698
You are clear to land.
1974
01:42:33,508 --> 01:42:37,468
USA! USA! USA!
1975
01:42:39,097 --> 01:42:40,133
Good work.
1976
01:42:44,269 --> 01:42:46,226
Hi. Um...
1977
01:42:47,939 --> 01:42:51,108
It seems like they've been
shipping men and equipment
1978
01:42:51,109 --> 01:42:53,192
out of Afghanistan, into Iraq,
1979
01:42:54,946 --> 01:42:57,823
and at the moment,
we're a little unsure
1980
01:42:57,824 --> 01:42:59,816
of what's going on.
1981
01:43:02,204 --> 01:43:05,447
I don't want you to worry about me.
1982
01:43:12,631 --> 01:43:16,342
Major combat operations
in Iraq have ended.
1983
01:43:16,343 --> 01:43:18,135
In the battle of Iraq,
1984
01:43:18,136 --> 01:43:21,049
the United States
and our allies have prevailed.
1985
01:43:22,307 --> 01:43:24,725
We have concerns
over Halliburton KBR's
1986
01:43:24,726 --> 01:43:25,762
billing practices.
1987
01:43:26,770 --> 01:43:29,021
As you know, the no-bid
contracts they received
1988
01:43:29,022 --> 01:43:31,065
were quite sizable, and now...
1989
01:43:31,066 --> 01:43:33,442
Well, we're not concerned,
are we?
1990
01:43:33,443 --> 01:43:34,443
Not at all.
1991
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:37,822
The secretary of defense
and the vice president
1992
01:43:37,823 --> 01:43:39,314
just said they're not concerned.
1993
01:43:40,409 --> 01:43:41,991
Now, can we please talk about Iran?
1994
01:43:54,256 --> 01:43:57,550
To this day, Dick Cheney
has never apologized
1995
01:43:57,551 --> 01:43:58,926
for this incident.
1996
01:43:58,927 --> 01:44:01,637
Jesus, Dick!
1997
01:44:01,638 --> 01:44:03,723
- But someone else did.
- Oh, hell.
1998
01:44:03,724 --> 01:44:06,851
My family and I are deeply sorry
1999
01:44:06,852 --> 01:44:08,853
for all that Vice President Cheney
2000
01:44:08,854 --> 01:44:10,521
and his family have
had to go through
2001
01:44:10,522 --> 01:44:12,231
this past week.
2002
01:44:12,232 --> 01:44:14,440
We send our love
and respect to them.
2003
01:44:15,736 --> 01:44:18,228
And we hope that he will
continue to come to Texas...
2004
01:44:19,489 --> 01:44:21,902
and seek the relaxation
that he deserves.
2005
01:44:23,660 --> 01:44:25,572
So, this, uh...
2006
01:44:27,164 --> 01:44:31,041
Joe Wilson asshole...
2007
01:44:31,042 --> 01:44:32,334
...is questioning our intelligence
2008
01:44:32,335 --> 01:44:33,917
in the New York Times.
2009
01:44:35,756 --> 01:44:37,622
What's his wife's name again?
2010
01:44:38,925 --> 01:44:40,760
Valerie Plame.
2011
01:44:40,761 --> 01:44:43,128
I confirmed it.
She's undercover CIA.
2012
01:44:44,389 --> 01:44:45,389
Leak it.
2013
01:45:01,406 --> 01:45:03,115
Okay, okay.
2014
01:45:03,116 --> 01:45:04,742
Like, they don't care
about their dogs, man.
2015
01:45:04,743 --> 01:45:06,619
I mean they shoot 'em.
They let 'em roam wild.
2016
01:45:06,620 --> 01:45:07,900
What kinda man don't love a dog?
2017
01:45:08,872 --> 01:45:10,164
People in India love cows.
2018
01:45:10,165 --> 01:45:11,665
They look at us
2019
01:45:11,666 --> 01:45:13,292
and how we treat cows
and think the same thing.
2020
01:45:13,293 --> 01:45:15,461
Cows. All due respect...
2021
01:45:15,462 --> 01:45:17,662
that sounds like some liberal
ass-scratchin' bullshit...
2022
01:45:26,515 --> 01:45:27,926
Linda.
2023
01:45:31,478 --> 01:45:32,686
Look at this crap.
2024
01:45:32,687 --> 01:45:33,938
God damn it.
2025
01:45:33,939 --> 01:45:34,975
Hello, Don.
2026
01:45:36,149 --> 01:45:38,526
That report says Zarqawi,
2027
01:45:38,527 --> 01:45:41,111
the same fucking Zarqawi
we talked up for months,
2028
01:45:41,112 --> 01:45:44,323
is now leading
a major insurgence in Iraq.
2029
01:45:44,324 --> 01:45:47,535
And the implication is
it's because we talked him up.
2030
01:45:47,536 --> 01:45:49,119
Has POTUS seen this?
2031
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:50,579
No, no, no.
2032
01:45:50,580 --> 01:45:53,749
I... I intercepted it before
it got across the hallway.
2033
01:45:53,750 --> 01:45:56,001
And this is,
this is generated by an analyst.
2034
01:45:56,002 --> 01:45:57,002
Get me Tenet.
2035
01:45:58,213 --> 01:45:59,172
This stops here.
2036
01:45:59,173 --> 01:46:01,340
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi
2037
01:46:01,341 --> 01:46:04,134
had taken his fame
from Powell's UN speech
2038
01:46:04,135 --> 01:46:06,502
and turned it into
his own new thing.
2039
01:46:07,722 --> 01:46:11,433
The Islamic State of Iraq and
Levant...
2040
01:46:11,434 --> 01:46:13,018
...or ISIS.
2041
01:46:13,019 --> 01:46:16,230
And because that intelligence
somehow found itself
2042
01:46:16,231 --> 01:46:18,223
on the bottom of a
stack of papers...
2043
01:46:19,609 --> 01:46:21,068
Zarqawi had a whole year
2044
01:46:21,069 --> 01:46:23,482
to just do whatever
the hell he wanted.
2045
01:46:24,573 --> 01:46:25,780
And what he wanted...
2046
01:46:27,117 --> 01:46:28,358
was carnage.
2047
01:46:30,036 --> 01:46:31,572
Shia versus Sunni.
2048
01:46:33,665 --> 01:46:35,372
The West versus Islam.
2049
01:46:37,919 --> 01:46:40,036
And death versus life.
2050
01:46:41,548 --> 01:46:42,923
And on top of that,
2051
01:46:42,924 --> 01:46:45,384
US forces couldn't find any WMDs
2052
01:46:45,385 --> 01:46:48,053
or nuclear programs in Iraq.
2053
01:46:48,054 --> 01:46:50,180
Turns out that Saddam and his sons
2054
01:46:50,181 --> 01:46:51,807
mostly liked cocaine
2055
01:46:51,808 --> 01:46:54,351
and American movies from the '80s.
2056
01:46:54,352 --> 01:46:55,769
Vice President Dick Cheney
2057
01:46:55,770 --> 01:46:58,314
is being sued by Valerie Plame
2058
01:46:58,315 --> 01:46:59,931
and her husband Joseph Wilson.
2059
01:47:01,067 --> 01:47:02,192
The White House announced
2060
01:47:02,193 --> 01:47:03,944
four cabinet resignations
2061
01:47:03,945 --> 01:47:06,864
including that of Secretary
of State Colin Powell.
2062
01:47:06,865 --> 01:47:07,865
Dick.
2063
01:47:08,867 --> 01:47:10,409
Look, I hope there's
no hard feelings
2064
01:47:10,410 --> 01:47:13,621
about us investigating
the no-bid Iraq contract
2065
01:47:13,622 --> 01:47:14,705
for Halliburton.
2066
01:47:14,706 --> 01:47:17,207
You know, I'm just doing my job.
2067
01:47:17,208 --> 01:47:18,449
Go fuck yourself.
2068
01:47:28,595 --> 01:47:30,638
Dick Cheney
emerges from the dugout
2069
01:47:30,639 --> 01:47:32,389
on the third base side.
2070
01:47:32,390 --> 01:47:35,017
There's a lot of energy
that follows any opener,
2071
01:47:35,018 --> 01:47:37,478
whether it be the opener
to the regular season
2072
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:39,480
or, in this case,
the home opener
2073
01:47:39,481 --> 01:47:41,357
for the Washington Nationals.
2074
01:47:41,358 --> 01:47:44,193
But there's continued buildup,
Eddie, for this team
2075
01:47:44,194 --> 01:47:46,612
because of the success
they had last year
2076
01:47:46,613 --> 01:47:48,364
in drawing some
pretty good numbers.
2077
01:47:56,706 --> 01:47:58,499
Dick Cheney,
a little bit low and outside.
2078
01:47:58,500 --> 01:48:01,377
Iraq War,
now proven to be false.
2079
01:48:01,378 --> 01:48:03,504
There is a chorus of people calling
2080
01:48:03,505 --> 01:48:06,256
for Vice President Dick Cheney
to step aside and resign.
2081
01:48:06,257 --> 01:48:08,926
These issues may
not be resolved for some time.
2082
01:48:08,927 --> 01:48:10,043
Go away!
2083
01:48:18,186 --> 01:48:19,687
I swear to God
2084
01:48:19,688 --> 01:48:21,725
this whole place
is turning against me.
2085
01:48:25,986 --> 01:48:28,070
Where are you?
I'm in an empty office
2086
01:48:28,071 --> 01:48:29,530
just trying to get
a clean phone line.
2087
01:48:29,531 --> 01:48:32,825
Listen, if we could just get
2088
01:48:32,826 --> 01:48:34,243
an air bombardment in Iraq,
2089
01:48:34,244 --> 01:48:35,995
I think it would make a statement
2090
01:48:35,996 --> 01:48:37,830
and it would give us
some political cover.
2091
01:48:37,831 --> 01:48:39,665
It's over, Don.
2092
01:48:39,666 --> 01:48:40,782
What's that?
2093
01:48:41,543 --> 01:48:43,293
What is?
2094
01:48:43,294 --> 01:48:44,670
It's over.
2095
01:48:44,671 --> 01:48:46,005
President wants you
to step down.
2096
01:48:46,006 --> 01:48:47,417
He appreciates your service.
2097
01:48:53,763 --> 01:48:54,763
Don?
2098
01:48:57,851 --> 01:49:00,811
Well, does, uh...
2099
01:49:00,812 --> 01:49:02,974
Bush's kid want me out
or do you?
2100
01:49:06,568 --> 01:49:08,235
I can't win every fight, Don.
2101
01:49:08,236 --> 01:49:09,818
You are a little piece of shit.
2102
01:49:12,615 --> 01:49:15,358
Wow. How did you become
such a cold son of a bitch?
2103
01:49:16,411 --> 01:49:17,447
I'm sorry, Don.
2104
01:49:18,747 --> 01:49:19,863
I really am.
2105
01:49:22,042 --> 01:49:23,882
Well, you know
how I know you're not?
2106
01:49:25,795 --> 01:49:27,036
'Cause I wouldn't be.
2107
01:49:33,470 --> 01:49:34,836
Think they'll prosecute us?
2108
01:49:39,809 --> 01:49:40,970
Okay, then.
2109
01:49:44,355 --> 01:49:45,355
Okay, then.
2110
01:50:07,128 --> 01:50:09,666
I, Barack Hussein Obama,
do solemnly swear...
2111
01:50:10,715 --> 01:50:13,175
That I will
execute the office
2112
01:50:13,176 --> 01:50:15,803
of president to
the United States faithfully.
2113
01:50:22,977 --> 01:50:24,812
Few years later,
2114
01:50:24,813 --> 01:50:26,805
Dick's heart trouble
started up again.
2115
01:50:27,982 --> 01:50:30,359
And with no donor available,
2116
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:33,398
he finally found himself
at death's door.
2117
01:50:40,078 --> 01:50:41,078
Well?
2118
01:50:42,122 --> 01:50:45,249
I wish I had... I had better news.
2119
01:50:45,250 --> 01:50:47,584
Your heart just isn't pumping
enough oxygen
2120
01:50:47,585 --> 01:50:48,996
to keep your vital organs alive.
2121
01:50:51,756 --> 01:50:53,549
Should I call for a minister?
2122
01:50:53,550 --> 01:50:56,668
No, no.
He's not going anywhere.
2123
01:50:59,347 --> 01:51:00,838
Okay, then.
2124
01:51:04,060 --> 01:51:05,644
Dick Cheney,
2125
01:51:05,645 --> 01:51:08,308
you are not going anywhere,
do you hear me?
2126
01:51:09,315 --> 01:51:10,816
You're not going anywhere.
2127
01:51:10,817 --> 01:51:11,933
This may be the, uh...
2128
01:51:13,403 --> 01:51:14,903
one time, I, uh,
2129
01:51:14,904 --> 01:51:15,904
I can't do...
2130
01:51:17,282 --> 01:51:19,242
what your mother says, girls.
2131
01:51:29,752 --> 01:51:31,872
- I love you, Daddy.
- I love you, Mary.
2132
01:51:32,422 --> 01:51:34,673
I love you, Lizzie.
2133
01:51:34,674 --> 01:51:36,711
And we love you so much.
2134
01:51:38,136 --> 01:51:39,678
We love you so much.
2135
01:51:39,679 --> 01:51:40,920
My girls.
2136
01:51:47,061 --> 01:51:48,518
I love you, girls.
2137
01:52:02,619 --> 01:52:07,331
So Dick Cheney told his family
that he was ready to die
2138
01:52:07,332 --> 01:52:09,416
and that he wasn't afraid.
2139
01:52:09,417 --> 01:52:12,669
He told them he had
lived a full life
2140
01:52:12,670 --> 01:52:14,087
and that he had zero regrets...
2141
01:53:06,307 --> 01:53:08,924
Vice President Cheney,
cross your arms, please.
2142
01:53:10,395 --> 01:53:13,188
There you go.
Okay, on a count of three.
2143
01:53:13,189 --> 01:53:14,680
One, two, three.
2144
01:53:18,069 --> 01:53:20,857
They say my heart could
give him another ten years.
2145
01:53:22,657 --> 01:53:26,827
Cheney doesn't like to refer
to it as someone else's heart.
2146
01:53:26,828 --> 01:53:29,320
He likes to refer to it
as his new heart.
2147
01:53:30,999 --> 01:53:33,286
Which, even though I'm dead,
I have to say...
2148
01:53:34,711 --> 01:53:36,577
still makes me feel pretty shitty.
2149
01:53:38,881 --> 01:53:42,259
And so, when Liz decided
to run for one
2150
01:53:42,260 --> 01:53:44,344
of Wyoming's two Senate seats
2151
01:53:44,345 --> 01:53:47,848
against Republican
incumbent Mike Enzi,
2152
01:53:47,849 --> 01:53:49,683
our Dick was right there
2153
01:53:49,684 --> 01:53:53,228
to hopefully see the Cheney legacy
of power continue.
2154
01:53:53,229 --> 01:53:56,189
Are you aware Wyoming
Senate candidate Liz Cheney
2155
01:53:56,190 --> 01:53:57,733
supports gay marriage?
2156
01:53:57,734 --> 01:53:59,484
Her sister is married
to another woman,
2157
01:53:59,485 --> 01:54:01,528
and Liz Cheney refuses to support
2158
01:54:01,529 --> 01:54:04,823
a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriage.
2159
01:54:04,824 --> 01:54:06,158
Instead, she equivocates,
2160
01:54:06,159 --> 01:54:08,035
claiming it's a states rights issue.
2161
01:54:08,036 --> 01:54:09,870
Don't you agree Wyoming deserves
2162
01:54:09,871 --> 01:54:12,289
a senator who believes
marriage should be
2163
01:54:12,290 --> 01:54:13,915
between a man and a woman?
2164
01:54:13,916 --> 01:54:15,908
These calls went
to every house in Wyoming.
2165
01:54:17,295 --> 01:54:18,752
Every single house.
2166
01:54:22,008 --> 01:54:23,249
I will never win.
2167
01:54:25,845 --> 01:54:27,211
What are we gonna do?
2168
01:54:30,808 --> 01:54:32,845
O2 monitor is steady.
2169
01:54:35,646 --> 01:54:37,939
We're joined
here today by Liz Cheney,
2170
01:54:37,940 --> 01:54:40,984
who is running for the Senate
from the state of Wyoming.
2171
01:54:40,985 --> 01:54:42,444
According to one poll,
2172
01:54:42,445 --> 01:54:45,155
she is behind by double digits.
2173
01:54:45,156 --> 01:54:46,323
Welcome.
2174
01:54:46,324 --> 01:54:47,491
Thank you
for having me here, Chris.
2175
01:54:47,492 --> 01:54:48,950
Great to be with you.
2176
01:54:48,951 --> 01:54:50,035
And may I point out,
there are other polls
2177
01:54:50,036 --> 01:54:52,120
that have me much closer.
2178
01:54:52,121 --> 01:54:53,705
Your opponent,
Senator Mike Enzi,
2179
01:54:53,706 --> 01:54:56,625
claims that you support
gay marriage
2180
01:54:56,626 --> 01:54:58,835
in part, because...
2181
01:54:58,836 --> 01:55:01,505
you support your gay sister
Mary's union with her wife.
2182
01:55:01,506 --> 01:55:02,798
I think she's
coming off very well.
2183
01:55:02,799 --> 01:55:03,800
How do you respond?
2184
01:55:03,801 --> 01:55:06,634
Let me be very, very clear.
2185
01:55:08,179 --> 01:55:11,848
I do not support gay marriage.
2186
01:55:11,849 --> 01:55:15,769
I believe that marriage
is between a man and a woman.
2187
01:55:15,770 --> 01:55:17,062
But you've always claimed
2188
01:55:17,063 --> 01:55:18,897
gay marriage is a state issue.
2189
01:55:18,898 --> 01:55:22,192
Your opponent claims
this is an equivocation.
2190
01:55:22,193 --> 01:55:23,819
All right,
I'm cutting the aorta.
2191
01:55:23,820 --> 01:55:25,195
Do you have the specimen bowl ready?
2192
01:55:25,196 --> 01:55:26,738
It's on the field.
2193
01:55:26,739 --> 01:55:28,532
All right.
Here's the heart.
2194
01:55:28,533 --> 01:55:29,866
The thing is, Mom, I know
that Liz wouldn't have done
2195
01:55:29,867 --> 01:55:31,785
any of this if you
and Dad didn't approve.
2196
01:55:31,786 --> 01:55:33,286
So...
2197
01:55:33,287 --> 01:55:34,788
I can't believe you would do Th...
2198
01:55:34,789 --> 01:55:36,498
I really thought
there was a limit to...
2199
01:55:36,499 --> 01:55:39,167
No, now you're
just being hysterical,
2200
01:55:39,168 --> 01:55:41,128
and I can't talk to you
when you get this way.
2201
01:55:41,129 --> 01:55:44,464
You need to settle down. Okay?
2202
01:55:44,465 --> 01:55:45,966
You're being hysterical.
2203
01:55:45,967 --> 01:55:48,260
Bypass is on standby.
2204
01:55:48,261 --> 01:55:49,928
Is it in three?
2205
01:55:49,929 --> 01:55:51,609
I'll have it
waiting right here.
2206
01:56:26,382 --> 01:56:28,717
All right,
some suction. Some suction.
2207
01:56:28,718 --> 01:56:29,925
Damn.
2208
01:57:02,668 --> 01:57:04,079
All right. We're almost there.
2209
01:57:17,934 --> 01:57:18,934
Dad.
2210
01:57:39,372 --> 01:57:41,705
Just breathe, baby.
I love you.
2211
01:58:41,684 --> 01:58:43,300
Patient's heart rate is stable.
2212
01:58:44,562 --> 01:58:45,928
Blood pressure increasing.
2213
01:58:47,148 --> 01:58:49,399
I'm gonna notify the family.
What should I tell them?
2214
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:51,192
Tell them the
patient's doing well.
2215
01:58:51,193 --> 01:58:53,028
- Okay.
- Should be done in a half-hour.
2216
01:59:25,186 --> 01:59:26,603
Mr. Vice President.
2217
01:59:26,604 --> 01:59:28,313
This must
be the right place.
2218
01:59:28,314 --> 01:59:29,773
Yes.
2219
01:59:29,774 --> 01:59:31,483
- Hello, Martha.
- Hi.
2220
01:59:31,484 --> 01:59:32,859
- Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.
2221
01:59:32,860 --> 01:59:35,654
Have a seat right there.
2222
01:59:35,655 --> 01:59:40,492
So, um, is it gonna be just,
uh, me on camera or...
2223
01:59:40,493 --> 01:59:43,161
Primarily you.
We'll cut back to me.
2224
01:59:43,162 --> 01:59:44,496
Eddie's got you
with the A camera.
2225
01:59:44,497 --> 01:59:46,539
I'm just gonna be...
All right.
2226
02:00:16,696 --> 02:00:18,107
Ready?
Hmm.
2227
02:00:20,449 --> 02:00:21,950
Two-thirds
of Americans say
2228
02:00:21,951 --> 02:00:25,370
the Iraq War is not worth fighting.
2229
02:00:25,371 --> 02:00:27,872
And they're looking
at the value gained
2230
02:00:27,873 --> 02:00:29,958
versus the cost in American lives
2231
02:00:29,959 --> 02:00:31,501
and Iraqi lives.
2232
02:00:31,502 --> 02:00:32,583
So?
2233
02:00:34,255 --> 02:00:37,339
So, don't you care what
the American people think?
2234
02:00:38,801 --> 02:00:42,554
No, uh, I think you, uh,
2235
02:00:42,555 --> 02:00:45,140
cannot be, uh,
2236
02:00:45,141 --> 02:00:46,473
blown off course.
2237
02:00:55,568 --> 02:00:59,437
I can feel your recriminations...
2238
02:01:00,906 --> 02:01:02,022
and your judgment...
2239
02:01:03,117 --> 02:01:04,528
and I am fine with it.
2240
02:01:07,371 --> 02:01:10,239
You want to be loved,
go be a movie star.
2241
02:01:12,626 --> 02:01:15,795
The world is as you find it.
2242
02:01:15,796 --> 02:01:18,798
You got to deal with that reality.
2243
02:01:18,799 --> 02:01:21,468
And there are monsters
in this world.
2244
02:01:21,469 --> 02:01:26,890
We saw 3,000 innocent people
2245
02:01:26,891 --> 02:01:29,893
burned to death by those monsters.
2246
02:01:29,894 --> 02:01:31,260
And yet you object...
2247
02:01:32,354 --> 02:01:33,855
when I refuse
2248
02:01:33,856 --> 02:01:36,274
to kiss those monsters on the cheek
2249
02:01:36,275 --> 02:01:38,735
and say "pretty please."
2250
02:01:38,736 --> 02:01:40,278
You answer me this.
2251
02:01:40,279 --> 02:01:45,033
What terrorist attack
would you have let go forward
2252
02:01:45,034 --> 02:01:49,199
so you wouldn't seem like
a mean and nasty fella?
2253
02:01:50,998 --> 02:01:52,990
I will not apologize...
2254
02:01:54,585 --> 02:01:56,167
for keeping your family safe.
2255
02:01:57,588 --> 02:01:59,295
And I will not apologize...
2256
02:02:00,299 --> 02:02:02,712
for doing what needed
to be done...
2257
02:02:04,261 --> 02:02:06,304
so that your loved ones
2258
02:02:06,305 --> 02:02:07,887
can sleep peaceably at night.
2259
02:02:15,356 --> 02:02:16,517
Has been my honor...
2260
02:02:18,025 --> 02:02:19,232
to be your servant.
2261
02:02:21,529 --> 02:02:22,690
You chose me...
2262
02:02:24,448 --> 02:02:27,282
and I did what you asked.
2263
02:03:12,246 --> 02:03:13,247
I know you do.
2264
02:05:21,083 --> 02:05:22,709
Sorry to interrupt,
But Mark wanted
2265
02:05:22,710 --> 02:05:24,168
to share something
with everyone.
2266
02:05:24,169 --> 02:05:26,671
Something's been bothering me
this whole movie,
2267
02:05:26,672 --> 02:05:28,756
and I just figured it out.
2268
02:05:28,757 --> 02:05:30,633
The whole thing's liberal.
2269
02:05:30,634 --> 02:05:32,635
It's got a liberal bias.
2270
02:05:32,636 --> 02:05:34,798
Interesting.
Does anyone else feel that way?
2271
02:05:36,098 --> 02:05:38,641
One, two, three, four people.
Yeah, go ahead.
2272
02:05:38,642 --> 02:05:41,185
It's all facts. Right?
2273
02:05:41,186 --> 02:05:43,354
I mean, they had to vet all this
with a lawyer.
2274
02:05:43,355 --> 02:05:44,522
How does that make it...
2275
02:05:44,523 --> 02:05:47,900
What's liberal about that?
You would say that, lib-tard.
2276
02:05:47,901 --> 02:05:49,694
Okay, I'm sorry.
2277
02:05:49,695 --> 02:05:51,821
So, because I have the ability
to understand facts,
2278
02:05:51,822 --> 02:05:53,072
that makes me a liberal?
2279
02:05:53,073 --> 02:05:54,490
Okay, guys,
let's just take it down.
2280
02:05:54,491 --> 02:05:56,534
You probably like Hillary.
2281
02:05:56,535 --> 02:05:58,202
- Let's take it down a notch or
two, okay? - Idiot.
2282
02:05:58,203 --> 02:06:00,663
Okay, first of all,
Hillary's not president. Okay?
2283
02:06:00,664 --> 02:06:03,624
The-the-the orange Cheeto
that you hired
2284
02:06:03,625 --> 02:06:04,876
is the president
and he's ruining the country...
2285
02:06:04,877 --> 02:06:06,961
Trump is the best thing
in this country.
2286
02:06:06,962 --> 02:06:08,046
You chicken-shit!
2287
02:06:08,047 --> 02:06:09,839
John! Now, come in, please.
2288
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:11,382
Hey, guys, come on.
2289
02:06:11,383 --> 02:06:14,302
Guys! Guys!
Stop it. Knock it off!
2290
02:06:14,303 --> 02:06:15,970
I can't wait to see the new
Fast and the Furious movie.
2291
02:06:15,971 --> 02:06:17,507
That looks lit.
2292
