1
00:00:03,904 --> 00:00:05,539
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:05,606 --> 00:00:07,275
JOSH:
You should be
introducing yourself,
3
00:00:07,341 --> 00:00:08,576
talking about
your personal narrative.
4
00:00:08,642 --> 00:00:10,444
SANTOS:
I don't want to just be
5
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:12,413
the brown candidate, I want
to be the American candidate.
6
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,815
I guess you've seen
this problem develop today,
7
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,317
about my going
to church.
8
00:00:16,384 --> 00:00:18,152
That's all right;
I go enough for both of us.
9
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:19,387
You saw Vinick
on TV this morning.
10
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:21,189
He was tough
and he was authentic.
11
00:00:21,255 --> 00:00:22,756
He was Neil Young
to your Neil Diamond.
12
00:00:22,823 --> 00:00:24,092
I like Neil Diamond.
13
00:00:24,158 --> 00:00:25,859
You've been called up
for Reserve training.
14
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:27,728
It won't look like a stunt?
We're just following orders.
15
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:29,797
MAN:
Half the press
are calling it a stunt.
16
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:31,165
JOSH:
Yeah, but all the press
is running the footage.
17
00:00:31,232 --> 00:00:33,867
Nine points.
Only nine points down.
18
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:35,903
( applause )
19
00:00:35,969 --> 00:00:39,707
VINICK:
That's why Ray Sullivan and I
are working so hard
20
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:43,277
to take back the White House
for the Republican Party.
21
00:00:43,344 --> 00:00:45,513
And with your help,
we're gonna do it.
22
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:47,481
( fanfare plays )
Thank you.
23
00:00:54,255 --> 00:00:55,656
Big Sur is on the move.
24
00:00:55,723 --> 00:00:56,824
Secure Room ready?
25
00:01:01,829 --> 00:01:03,764
Hi. How you doing?
26
00:01:03,831 --> 00:01:04,898
Hi. Good to see you.
27
00:01:04,965 --> 00:01:07,635
How are you? Hi.
How are you?
28
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:08,869
All right.
29
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:11,639
Santos picked up two points
in our tracking poll.
30
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:14,742
This is the Secure
Room, sir.
31
00:01:14,808 --> 00:01:16,410
Perfect.
Morning, Senator.
32
00:01:16,477 --> 00:01:18,078
I'm Charles Frost
and I'll be handling
33
00:01:18,146 --> 00:01:19,347
your daily intelligence
briefings.
34
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,115
Are you with the Agency
or the NSC?
35
00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:23,284
Well, actually,
I am an Agency employee,
36
00:01:23,351 --> 00:01:24,718
but I have been assigned
to the NSC
37
00:01:24,785 --> 00:01:26,887
for the last six months,
so, technically, I...
38
00:01:26,954 --> 00:01:28,389
Great.
You mind if I multitask?
39
00:01:34,662 --> 00:01:36,730
Go ahead.
40
00:01:36,797 --> 00:01:41,135
Well, there's a situation
in Kazakhstan...
41
00:01:41,202 --> 00:01:42,603
He should resign
the Senate now
42
00:01:42,670 --> 00:01:44,472
so we can't be forced into
any more difficult votes.
43
00:01:44,538 --> 00:01:45,973
He'd be breaking his promise
44
00:01:46,039 --> 00:01:47,741
to California voters to serve
his full six-year term.
45
00:01:47,808 --> 00:01:50,244
We've already got enough
problems with his voting record.
46
00:01:50,311 --> 00:01:53,080
Hey, I'm proud
of my voting record.
47
00:01:53,147 --> 00:01:54,548
Well, most of it.
48
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,617
I'd quit the Senate
in a second
49
00:01:56,684 --> 00:01:58,319
if I thought it would
help us win.
50
00:01:58,386 --> 00:02:00,454
Now it'll just look
like a cheap stunt.
51
00:02:00,521 --> 00:02:02,055
I'm just saying...
Forget it.
52
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,291
I'm not quitting
the Senate.
53
00:02:03,357 --> 00:02:04,225
We'll just have
to turn the Senate
54
00:02:04,292 --> 00:02:05,659
into an advantage.
55
00:02:05,726 --> 00:02:08,496
No Senator has won
the presidency since 1960.
56
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:10,231
There is a reason for that.
57
00:02:10,298 --> 00:02:11,732
Sheila, will you
please tell Bruno
58
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:12,833
when I make a decision,
59
00:02:12,900 --> 00:02:14,935
that's the end
of the discussion.
60
00:02:15,002 --> 00:02:16,270
What's the next stop?
61
00:02:16,337 --> 00:02:17,571
Fraternal Order of Police.
62
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:19,006
It's only a couple
of blocks,
63
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:20,208
but Secret Service
wanted us to drive.
64
00:02:20,274 --> 00:02:21,642
Do I give them
the stump?
65
00:02:21,709 --> 00:02:22,576
The stump plus.
66
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:23,677
Plus what?
67
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:25,313
Homeland Security,
the death penalty...
68
00:02:25,379 --> 00:02:26,914
A little extra law and order.
69
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,717
The RNC has a TV ad they
want you to approve today.
70
00:02:29,783 --> 00:02:31,519
Leon Montero will have
the tape when you arrive.
71
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:33,387
Are they ever
going to stop showing
72
00:02:33,454 --> 00:02:35,523
these shots
of Santos in uniform?
73
00:02:35,589 --> 00:02:37,391
That's what I call a stunt.
74
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:38,959
Yeah? Pretty great stunt.
75
00:02:39,026 --> 00:02:40,828
You're going to be surrounded
by uniforms today, too.
76
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:42,930
Yeah, except
I won't be wearing one.
77
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:44,498
Okay, got to go.
78
00:02:45,733 --> 00:02:46,900
Hey, Leon.
79
00:02:46,967 --> 00:02:49,903
This is Bruno.
80
00:02:49,970 --> 00:02:52,606
Got a spot the RNC wants to run.
81
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,975
ANNOUNCER:
In six short years
in the House of Representatives,
82
00:02:55,042 --> 00:02:59,247
Congressman Matthew Santos has
voted for higher taxes 47 times.
83
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:00,614
Must be his
committee votes
84
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:02,550
against all
the tax cut amendments.
85
00:03:02,616 --> 00:03:07,255
...so it's no surprise that
Matt Santos opposes the tax cuts
86
00:03:07,321 --> 00:03:08,956
that Arnold Vinick
thinks you deserve.
87
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:10,724
How much does Matt Santos
want to raise your taxes?
88
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:12,960
Is this all you guys
know how to do? Attack ads?
89
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:13,994
Hey...
90
00:03:14,061 --> 00:03:15,062
Have you seen any of the ads
91
00:03:15,128 --> 00:03:16,063
I've written for this campaign?
92
00:03:16,129 --> 00:03:17,465
Anyone with half a brain...
93
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,433
Leon's not with the RNC.
He's one of us.
94
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,502
He ran my California
operation for years.
95
00:03:21,569 --> 00:03:23,804
And I don't write TV ads.
96
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:25,673
I leave that for the people
with half a brain.
97
00:03:25,739 --> 00:03:27,375
Have Sheila go over
to party headquarters
98
00:03:27,441 --> 00:03:29,610
and tell them again
we're not going negative.
99
00:03:29,677 --> 00:03:30,778
Yet.
100
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:32,480
They get that,
they just don't think
101
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:33,847
you mean they shouldn't
go negative either.
102
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:36,116
The press knows
you get to approve party ads.
103
00:03:36,183 --> 00:03:36,984
It's a good ad.
104
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:38,051
Great ad.
105
00:03:38,118 --> 00:03:39,287
If you're ten points down.
106
00:03:39,353 --> 00:03:40,454
Santos is gaining on us.
107
00:03:40,521 --> 00:03:42,390
Reserve duty
sure worked.
108
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:44,925
You still have a lock
on the Electoral College.
109
00:03:44,992 --> 00:03:47,695
A Democrat cannot win
without California,
110
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:51,231
and most of this country cannot
imagine Santos as President.
111
00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:52,099
'Cause he's Latino?
112
00:03:52,165 --> 00:03:53,166
Latino, inexperienced--
113
00:03:53,233 --> 00:03:54,302
you take your pick.
114
00:03:54,368 --> 00:03:55,603
You don't need this ad.
115
00:04:00,107 --> 00:04:01,241
Tell the RNC
116
00:04:01,309 --> 00:04:03,644
to shelve
this one for now.
117
00:04:03,711 --> 00:04:06,046
But if Santos says one word
about my voting record--
118
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:08,382
just one word-- tell the RNC
119
00:04:08,449 --> 00:04:11,018
to carpet bomb the swing states
with that ad.
120
00:04:11,084 --> 00:04:13,120
I got to go kiss some babies.
121
00:05:00,801 --> 00:05:03,070
I'm Arnold Vinick
and I approved this message.
122
00:05:03,504 --> 00:05:04,338
Stronger.
123
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:05,339
I'm Arnold Vinick
124
00:05:05,406 --> 00:05:06,840
and I approved this message.
125
00:05:06,907 --> 00:05:08,041
Softer.
126
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:09,577
I'm Arnold Vinick
127
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:11,412
and I'll be the nicest
President ever, I promise.
128
00:05:11,479 --> 00:05:12,713
( woman chuckling )
129
00:05:12,780 --> 00:05:14,181
Okay, quiet, quiet.
Everybody, quiet.
130
00:05:14,247 --> 00:05:15,849
Please, Senator, once again.
131
00:05:15,916 --> 00:05:18,285
I'm, um...
132
00:05:18,352 --> 00:05:20,053
Arnold Vinick.
133
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,789
Right, thank you, Leon.
( chuckling )
134
00:05:21,855 --> 00:05:24,257
Okay, that's it. Out.
Everyone, out of here.
135
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:25,593
Relax, Bruno. Let them stay.
136
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:29,162
I'll get it right.
137
00:05:29,229 --> 00:05:30,263
I'm Arnold Vinick
138
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,965
and I approved
this message.
139
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,802
Good. One more.
140
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:38,071
I'm Arnold Vinick
and I approved this message.
141
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:39,940
Wait, one more.
142
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:43,010
I'm Arnold Vinick
and I approved this message.
143
00:05:43,076 --> 00:05:44,111
I think we got it.
144
00:05:44,177 --> 00:05:45,646
Yep, we got it.
145
00:05:47,114 --> 00:05:49,282
When's the meeting with
the American Christian Assembly?
146
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:50,984
We're still
working on it.
147
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:52,486
LEON:
They want to do it at their
headquarters in Atlanta;
148
00:05:52,553 --> 00:05:54,354
Sheila wants to do it
at our headquarters
149
00:05:54,422 --> 00:05:55,756
or on neutral territory.
150
00:05:55,823 --> 00:05:57,090
Maybe in Philadelphia,
tomorrow,
151
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:58,459
after the VFW speech.
152
00:05:58,526 --> 00:06:00,761
CNN just released
a new poll.
153
00:06:03,163 --> 00:06:05,399
Oh, a five point lead?
154
00:06:05,466 --> 00:06:07,568
Every poll out there
has Santos gaining.
155
00:06:07,635 --> 00:06:09,803
'Cause he put on his
old uniform for a weekend.
156
00:06:11,004 --> 00:06:12,773
There's a three point
margin of error,
157
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,575
so, really, we could be
up by as much as eight.
158
00:06:14,642 --> 00:06:16,777
Margin of error
goes both ways.
159
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:18,011
It could be
pretty much a tie.
160
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:19,947
Senator, does
the latest poll indicate
161
00:06:20,013 --> 00:06:21,649
that your opponent
is closing in...
No time
for questions.
162
00:06:21,715 --> 00:06:23,083
Senator, what do you think
of Congressman Santos
163
00:06:23,150 --> 00:06:25,285
doing his Reserve duty in
the middle of the campaign?
164
00:06:25,352 --> 00:06:26,386
Do you think
it was a stunt?
165
00:06:26,454 --> 00:06:28,822
A stunt?
166
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,492
No, that was, that was
devotion to duty.
167
00:06:31,559 --> 00:06:33,260
That's what makes
the American military
168
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:36,930
the greatest fighting force
in the history of the world.
169
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:40,167
And I hope Congressman Santos
continues to do his duty,
170
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:41,702
when I'm Commander in Chief.
171
00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:44,472
And I hope Congressman Santos
continues to do his duty
172
00:06:44,538 --> 00:06:46,139
when I'm Commander in Chief.
173
00:06:46,206 --> 00:06:48,809
I'll take any sentence that has
Santos and "do his duty" in it.
174
00:06:48,876 --> 00:06:49,910
Big mistake.
175
00:06:49,977 --> 00:06:51,679
Vinick should have
changed the subject.
176
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:53,213
MAN:
In five...
177
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,548
Think the uniform got to him?
178
00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:55,883
I know it did.
179
00:06:55,949 --> 00:06:57,918
Two...
180
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,989
Oh, no, Bill, of course
it wasn't a stunt.
181
00:07:02,055 --> 00:07:04,257
I've always answered my
country's call to duty,
182
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:05,559
and I always will.
183
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:07,194
SHEILA:
You had to do it, didn't you?
184
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,830
Had to take a shot at Santos
for getting into that uniform.
185
00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:12,800
I didn't take a shot at him,
I praised his service.
186
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:14,468
Yeah, then you took a shot.
187
00:07:14,535 --> 00:07:16,003
Which you knew
the networks would use.
188
00:07:16,069 --> 00:07:17,805
It was a cheap stunt.
189
00:07:17,871 --> 00:07:20,107
Santos could have
delayed his Reserve duty
190
00:07:20,173 --> 00:07:22,109
until after the campaign.
191
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:23,443
Well, your little quip
192
00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:25,178
is keeping
the Santos story alive.
193
00:07:25,245 --> 00:07:27,981
He's gonna get another news
cycle out of that cheap stunt,
194
00:07:28,048 --> 00:07:30,417
which, if you ask me,
was a pretty great stunt.
195
00:07:30,484 --> 00:07:33,186
We need to be setting
the agenda for this campaign.
196
00:07:33,253 --> 00:07:36,023
Santos should be chasing me,
not the other way around.
197
00:07:36,089 --> 00:07:37,891
Santos is gonna
have some good days,
198
00:07:37,958 --> 00:07:39,092
you can't let it
get to you.
199
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:40,127
Sheila, hold on.
200
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:43,196
Put this thing on speaker.
201
00:07:43,263 --> 00:07:44,431
Go ahead.
202
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:46,166
We stick to the message
of the week--
203
00:07:46,233 --> 00:07:47,701
Homeland Security.
204
00:07:47,768 --> 00:07:50,571
You just got the Fraternal Order
of Police endorsement.
205
00:07:50,638 --> 00:07:51,972
You're going to get
206
00:07:52,039 --> 00:07:53,340
the Philadelphia
Police Union's endorsement
207
00:07:53,406 --> 00:07:55,743
after the VFW speech
tomorrow.
208
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:57,277
And we're working on getting you
209
00:07:57,344 --> 00:07:59,446
the Houston Police Union's
endorsement on Thursday.
210
00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:01,048
Guy was mayor of Houston
211
00:08:01,114 --> 00:08:02,650
and he can't get his
own cops' endorsement?
212
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:04,417
That's got to drive
Santos up the wall.
213
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:08,155
Do they ever endorse
a Democrat?
214
00:08:08,221 --> 00:08:10,558
This is going to be a very
good week for us, Senator.
215
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:11,725
Maybe next week we can...
216
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:13,193
We got to shake
this up, now.
217
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:14,628
This is not business as usual.
218
00:08:14,695 --> 00:08:16,363
Santos got a polling bump
from the Reserve thing.
219
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:17,998
That is gonna disappear.
220
00:08:18,065 --> 00:08:21,168
Santos is not the standard-issue
Democratic candidate.
221
00:08:21,234 --> 00:08:22,570
Yeah, he's weaker
than a standard-issue
222
00:08:22,636 --> 00:08:24,171
Democratic candidate.
223
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:27,340
Matt Santos is a lot smarter
and tougher than you think.
224
00:08:27,407 --> 00:08:29,076
We gotta take it to him.
225
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,378
We've gotta put
Santos in a jam.
226
00:08:31,444 --> 00:08:32,946
We can't just cross our fingers
227
00:08:33,013 --> 00:08:35,816
and hope for the Houston
Police Union to do it for us.
228
00:08:35,883 --> 00:08:38,218
First one to go negative
is a show of weakness.
229
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:39,486
I want to knock him off message
230
00:08:39,553 --> 00:08:40,888
without ever
mentioning his name.
231
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:42,756
Look, we can find ways
that can surprise him.
232
00:08:42,823 --> 00:08:44,157
VINICK:
I don't want to surprise him.
233
00:08:44,224 --> 00:08:46,727
I want to shock him.
234
00:08:46,794 --> 00:08:48,261
How do we do that?
235
00:08:51,799 --> 00:08:52,766
Go to Hawaii?
236
00:08:52,833 --> 00:08:54,101
BRUNO:
Take a vacation?
237
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:55,869
Yeah, that will
shock him, all right.
238
00:08:55,936 --> 00:08:57,370
Go to a blue state they don't
expect us to compete in.
239
00:08:57,437 --> 00:09:00,207
Make him waste some
money and time in Hawaii.
240
00:09:00,273 --> 00:09:02,676
Santos can read that play.
241
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:07,748
Go after the Latino vote.
242
00:09:07,815 --> 00:09:10,050
( chuckles ):
Mm-hmm.
243
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:17,057
Do...
244
00:09:17,124 --> 00:09:19,860
Do I actually have
to say how insane that is?
245
00:09:19,927 --> 00:09:20,894
I've always won
246
00:09:20,961 --> 00:09:22,095
the Latino vote in California.
247
00:09:22,162 --> 00:09:23,664
Why should I give up
on that now?
248
00:09:23,731 --> 00:09:26,333
I don't know,
let-let-let me think.
249
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:27,735
Well, maybe because
250
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:29,336
you're running against
a Latino candidate
251
00:09:29,402 --> 00:09:31,805
who's gonna get about...
252
00:09:31,872 --> 00:09:33,974
2,000 perecent
of the Latino vote.
253
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:36,109
Without ever opening
his mouth on Latino issues:
254
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:38,946
immigration,
Mexican border issues?
255
00:09:39,012 --> 00:09:41,014
Without ever campaigning
in the Latino community?
256
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:43,651
He's got the Latino
community locked up.
257
00:09:43,717 --> 00:09:45,485
What if we just do
policy announcements
258
00:09:45,552 --> 00:09:46,887
on Latino issues?
259
00:09:46,954 --> 00:09:48,656
SHEILA:
It's a waste of time.
260
00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:50,891
Bruno, if you're the...
if you're the Santos campaign,
261
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:52,693
how would you respond?
262
00:09:58,198 --> 00:09:59,432
I don't know.
263
00:09:59,499 --> 00:10:01,201
That's the whole point.
Knock him off his game.
264
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:03,236
Santos will never know
what I'm going to do next.
265
00:10:03,303 --> 00:10:04,371
It's too risky.
266
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:05,372
We gonna look unpredictable
267
00:10:05,438 --> 00:10:06,807
or are we gonna look desperate?
268
00:10:06,874 --> 00:10:08,375
We're changing
the message of the week.
269
00:10:08,441 --> 00:10:10,010
We're canceling Philadelphia.
We're gonna...
270
00:10:10,077 --> 00:10:11,912
You can't cancel the VFW!
271
00:10:11,979 --> 00:10:14,081
I am not
a veteran of a foreign war.
272
00:10:14,147 --> 00:10:16,650
It's gonna look like
I'm playing Santos' game,
273
00:10:16,717 --> 00:10:18,518
surrounding myself
with military people.
274
00:10:18,585 --> 00:10:20,020
If you cancel the VFW...
275
00:10:20,087 --> 00:10:21,221
Cancel it.
276
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:23,290
We'll regroup
at headquarters tonight,
277
00:10:23,356 --> 00:10:25,225
plan a new message of the week.
278
00:10:25,292 --> 00:10:27,995
We're taking it to him,
starting right now.
279
00:10:32,833 --> 00:10:35,736
JOSH:
No, the earliest I can get him
back to Cleveland is...
280
00:10:35,803 --> 00:10:37,570
let me see, uh, Tuesday.
281
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,039
No, not tomorrow,
next Tuesday.
282
00:10:39,106 --> 00:10:42,509
Yeah, but Pennsylvania
is a swing state, too.
283
00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:44,344
It'll take me at least
four hours, door-to-door,
284
00:10:44,411 --> 00:10:45,846
to fly the candidate
and the traveling press
285
00:10:45,913 --> 00:10:47,114
from Pittsburgh to Cleveland--
286
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:48,882
I can't do this meeting
right now...
287
00:10:48,949 --> 00:10:52,152
VFW says Vinick just canceled
tomorrow's speech.
288
00:10:52,219 --> 00:10:53,787
Hold on.
289
00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:55,322
He canceled the VFW?
290
00:10:55,388 --> 00:10:57,457
VFW's offering us the slot,
if we want it.
291
00:10:57,524 --> 00:10:58,759
Of course we want it.
292
00:10:58,826 --> 00:10:59,860
I'll get him
out of New York early,
293
00:10:59,927 --> 00:11:01,361
have him in Philadelphia
by noon.
294
00:11:01,428 --> 00:11:03,897
New CNN poll,
Vinick's lead is down to five.
295
00:11:03,964 --> 00:11:05,766
Five?
And the Zogby poll
296
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,234
just gave us
the lead in Maine.
297
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:08,902
We got momentum, baby!
298
00:11:08,969 --> 00:11:11,705
We've got the big mo!
299
00:11:11,772 --> 00:11:14,742
Okay, if I drive him to Akron,
300
00:11:14,808 --> 00:11:16,744
can you guarantee me
Cleveland press?
301
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:18,611
Great, that's the plan.
( hangs up phone )
302
00:11:18,678 --> 00:11:19,713
Why would he
cancel the VFW?
303
00:11:19,780 --> 00:11:21,248
What is he, sick?
304
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:22,816
They haven't released their
schedule for tomorrow yet.
305
00:11:22,883 --> 00:11:24,151
They can't have
anything better to do.
306
00:11:24,217 --> 00:11:25,786
There's nothing better
than the VFW,
307
00:11:25,853 --> 00:11:27,788
if you're a Republican.
And we got movement
308
00:11:27,855 --> 00:11:29,256
on the debate
negotiations.
309
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,524
You mean the negotiations
about the negotiations.
310
00:11:31,591 --> 00:11:35,428
Right. The Vinick campaign
has agreed to our demand.
311
00:11:35,495 --> 00:11:36,529
No.
312
00:11:36,596 --> 00:11:38,131
Yeah.
313
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,933
They're willing to come here
to begin negotiations?
314
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,102
And why is that bad?
315
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:43,937
'Cause then we don't
get to blame them
316
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:46,106
for dragging their feet
on debate negotiations.
317
00:11:46,173 --> 00:11:47,775
DAN:
The Zogby poll just came out--
318
00:11:47,841 --> 00:11:49,676
same as CNN.
319
00:11:49,743 --> 00:11:51,211
Josh is going to
start pushing the press
320
00:11:51,278 --> 00:11:53,013
to do Santos
momentum stories.
321
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,647
He ain't got
the big mo yet.
322
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,316
He's got something.
323
00:11:57,851 --> 00:12:00,387
We're losing Maine?
324
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:03,056
Zogby poll says Santos pulled
ahead by two points in Maine.
325
00:12:03,123 --> 00:12:04,657
I don't give a damn
what Zogby says,
326
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:07,861
we change our board when
our tracking polls tell us to.
327
00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:09,496
Hang on. Actually, that was...
328
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,332
Our own tracking in Maine
now has Santos ahead by three.
329
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:18,205
SHEILA:
George, I'm telling you,
330
00:12:18,271 --> 00:12:20,340
he would love to meet with the
reverends, but there's no way
331
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:23,476
I can pull him off the campaign
trail and get him to Atlanta.
332
00:12:23,543 --> 00:12:24,778
Georgia's not a swing state.
333
00:12:24,845 --> 00:12:28,715
He's ahead by 20 points there.
334
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:30,350
Well, I understand.
335
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,485
The reverends don't want
to look like they're begging.
336
00:12:32,552 --> 00:12:36,924
Right, but you have to
understand my position here.
337
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,159
Okay, why don't you
come over here tonight
338
00:12:39,226 --> 00:12:41,761
and have the
meeting for them?
339
00:12:41,829 --> 00:12:43,330
They preserve
their dignity,
340
00:12:43,396 --> 00:12:44,965
I preserve my
campaign schedule,
341
00:12:45,032 --> 00:12:46,934
and we do a
little business.
342
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,469
Great, see you then.
343
00:12:49,536 --> 00:12:51,471
Just got you out of a
meeting with the reverends.
344
00:12:51,538 --> 00:12:53,340
( laughs )
345
00:12:53,406 --> 00:12:54,007
Have I told you
346
00:12:54,074 --> 00:12:55,675
how much I love you?
347
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:57,677
But you're gonna have to do
a meeting with George Rohr.
348
00:12:57,744 --> 00:12:59,579
That vicious little...
349
00:12:59,646 --> 00:13:01,949
Geez, I'd rather meet
with the entire
350
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:03,350
American
Christian Assembly.
351
00:13:03,416 --> 00:13:04,584
No, you wouldn't.
352
00:13:04,651 --> 00:13:06,086
George is
a political professional,
353
00:13:06,153 --> 00:13:07,287
and the reverends
follow his advice.
354
00:13:07,354 --> 00:13:09,789
You are going to be
very nice to him.
355
00:13:09,857 --> 00:13:11,224
You're the devil,
aren't you?
356
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:14,261
I have the devil running
my campaign, don't I?
357
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:18,098
Okay, what do we got?
358
00:13:18,165 --> 00:13:21,101
We're changing the message of
the week to immigration issues.
359
00:13:21,168 --> 00:13:23,203
It's the last thing
Santos wants to talk about.
360
00:13:23,270 --> 00:13:25,038
Not just because he's Latino,
but also...
361
00:13:25,105 --> 00:13:26,039
Would we be
doing this
362
00:13:26,106 --> 00:13:27,274
if he wasn't Latino?
363
00:13:27,340 --> 00:13:28,641
Republicans have been
going after
364
00:13:28,708 --> 00:13:29,709
the Latino vote
for years now.
365
00:13:29,776 --> 00:13:31,044
You've made a good living
366
00:13:31,111 --> 00:13:32,412
helping them do it.
367
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:33,947
Press is going to ask if you're
doing this
368
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:35,815
because he's Latino.
And the answer is,
369
00:13:35,883 --> 00:13:36,917
these are important
national issues
370
00:13:36,984 --> 00:13:37,951
that belong in this campaign.
371
00:13:38,018 --> 00:13:39,219
We're going to have to do
372
00:13:39,286 --> 00:13:41,788
better than that.
What's the plan?
373
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:43,023
Dan.
374
00:13:45,392 --> 00:13:47,895
Day one, tomorrow,
375
00:13:47,961 --> 00:13:49,529
policy announcement:
376
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:51,298
double the border patrol.
377
00:13:51,364 --> 00:13:53,901
Obviously appeal
to our Republican base.
378
00:13:53,967 --> 00:13:55,435
Photo-op in El Paso
379
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:57,370
at the border crossing, and
a photo-op with the Minutemen--
380
00:13:57,437 --> 00:14:00,507
you know, the civilians who
are helping patrol the border...
381
00:14:00,573 --> 00:14:01,841
You mean the vigilantes?
382
00:14:01,909 --> 00:14:03,243
They're not hurting anybody.
383
00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:05,345
Bunch of nuts patrolling
the border with guns?
384
00:14:05,412 --> 00:14:07,380
Someone's gonna get hurt.
BRUNO:
Is there a local chapter
385
00:14:07,447 --> 00:14:09,316
of the Klan?
Maybe we could do a drop-by.
386
00:14:09,382 --> 00:14:12,252
DAN:
The Minutemen have got
a lot of national press.
387
00:14:12,319 --> 00:14:14,955
Our base loves them.
It's a good photo-op.
388
00:14:16,723 --> 00:14:17,891
Okay.
389
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:19,726
We finish day one
with a dinner speech
390
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:21,228
to the El Paso
Chamber of Commerce.
391
00:14:21,294 --> 00:14:24,131
It's a day of saturation
coverage, in Texas,
392
00:14:24,197 --> 00:14:25,899
a must-win state
for Santos.
393
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:28,301
Next.
Day two.
Policy announcement:
394
00:14:28,368 --> 00:14:30,370
The Vinick Guest Worker Program.
395
00:14:30,437 --> 00:14:32,872
Legal status for illegals
already here
396
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:34,841
doing jobs Americans don't want.
397
00:14:34,908 --> 00:14:36,109
Okay, this I like.
398
00:14:36,176 --> 00:14:37,344
Good crossover appeal
for Democrats
399
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:38,245
and Independents.
400
00:14:38,311 --> 00:14:39,612
Especially
if we sell it
401
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:41,481
as part of our
"Sensible Solutions" theme.
402
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:43,083
We haven't got the events
for this one worked out yet.
403
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:45,418
Probably just a speech,
not sure where.
404
00:14:45,485 --> 00:14:47,120
SHEILA:
You can do it anywhere.
405
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:49,389
Point is we get it out there
and force Santos to respond.
406
00:14:49,456 --> 00:14:51,358
Because he's Latino.
Look, we're not...
407
00:14:51,424 --> 00:14:55,162
The Latino community's
gonna know what you're doing.
408
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,430
It's got to be more
than just a speech.
409
00:14:57,497 --> 00:14:59,566
Like?
410
00:14:59,632 --> 00:15:00,833
Introduce a bill.
411
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,435
In the Senate?
412
00:15:02,502 --> 00:15:04,204
I still have a job there,
don't I?
413
00:15:04,271 --> 00:15:07,140
It's a good way to turn
the Senate into an advantage.
414
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:09,409
Leon, take the speech
over to leg counsel's office
415
00:15:09,476 --> 00:15:11,178
and have them turn it
into legislative language.
416
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:12,879
The details
are up to you.
417
00:15:12,946 --> 00:15:16,416
Just make sure it really is
one of our "Sensible Solutions."
418
00:15:16,483 --> 00:15:18,518
Sheila, start working
on getting me co-sponsors
419
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:19,686
and a hearing date.
420
00:15:19,752 --> 00:15:20,920
What's day three?
421
00:15:20,988 --> 00:15:22,122
Central American
Free Trade Agreement.
422
00:15:22,189 --> 00:15:23,490
That's old news.
423
00:15:23,556 --> 00:15:25,792
We passed that,
we passed that months ago.
424
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:27,260
Santos has a problem with it.
425
00:15:27,327 --> 00:15:29,062
What, did he split
with the Democrats on that?
426
00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:29,997
SHEILA:
Worse.
427
00:15:30,063 --> 00:15:31,631
He split with himself.
428
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:32,899
Voted for it in committee,
429
00:15:32,966 --> 00:15:34,101
then voted against it
on the floor.
430
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:37,270
( laughs )
431
00:15:40,607 --> 00:15:42,275
After the day in Texas,
we gotta get him back to DC
432
00:15:43,110 --> 00:15:44,277
to introduce
the guest worker bill.
433
00:15:44,344 --> 00:15:45,512
That way, we can
keep the afternoon
434
00:15:45,578 --> 00:15:47,314
and evening schedule
we have in Ohio.
435
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:49,749
Just add the Border Patrol and
guest worker stuff to the stump.
436
00:15:49,816 --> 00:15:52,519
I'm going to need him back in
the studio for another TV spot.
437
00:15:52,585 --> 00:15:55,588
I can give him to you
for an hour on Friday morning.
438
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,790
George Rohr is here,
waiting in the conference room.
439
00:15:57,857 --> 00:15:59,259
Let's go.
440
00:16:02,862 --> 00:16:04,564
Hey, George!
441
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:05,632
How you doing?
442
00:16:05,698 --> 00:16:06,866
Hey, good to see you, Dan.
443
00:16:06,933 --> 00:16:08,801
Gee, you look great!
Private sector's
444
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:10,203
been good to you.
Private sector?
445
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:11,471
Is that what you guys
call religion?
446
00:16:11,538 --> 00:16:14,007
I mean not working
with the Speaker anymore,
447
00:16:14,074 --> 00:16:15,608
not stuck in the Capitol
all night,
448
00:16:15,675 --> 00:16:18,211
listening to the wit and wisdom
of the House of Representatives.
449
00:16:18,278 --> 00:16:19,946
I do thank God for that.
450
00:16:20,013 --> 00:16:21,448
( chuckles )
451
00:16:21,514 --> 00:16:22,682
( knocking )
452
00:16:29,689 --> 00:16:30,657
George Rohr is here.
453
00:16:36,229 --> 00:16:37,664
If I win this election,
454
00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:41,868
George Rohr never sets foot
in the White House.
455
00:16:41,934 --> 00:16:43,803
You got that?
456
00:16:43,870 --> 00:16:46,873
I mean, not even a tour.
457
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:49,476
SHEILA:
George is gonna try to
jam you on judges.
458
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,011
You got to be receptive
but noncommittal.
459
00:16:52,079 --> 00:16:53,346
"I would certainly welcome
460
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:55,815
your input on
judicial appointments,"
461
00:16:55,882 --> 00:16:57,450
blah-blah-blah.
462
00:16:58,485 --> 00:17:00,587
Hey, George,
great to see you.
463
00:17:00,653 --> 00:17:02,322
Good to see
you, Senator.
Sorry I couldn't
464
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:04,224
make it to Atlanta
to meet with the full group,
465
00:17:04,291 --> 00:17:06,793
but this campaign schedule
is just so tight.
466
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:07,894
You try to change
467
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,262
just one hour of it,
468
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:10,897
and the whole thing
comes apart.
I understand.
469
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:11,731
We appreciate you
470
00:17:11,798 --> 00:17:12,999
taking the time.
471
00:17:13,066 --> 00:17:14,301
Why don't we
clear out the staff,
472
00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:16,035
so George and I
can talk alone.
473
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,609
Can I get you anything?
474
00:17:22,675 --> 00:17:26,113
I think we might have a couple
of slices of pepperoni here.
475
00:17:26,179 --> 00:17:27,980
I'm good.
476
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:29,782
So what's up, George?
477
00:17:29,849 --> 00:17:31,518
Well, as you
can imagine,
478
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:35,822
the Council is very,
very concerned about...
479
00:17:41,194 --> 00:17:43,230
( laughing ):
Oh, sorry.
480
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,031
The campaign's
the only excuse left
481
00:17:45,098 --> 00:17:46,999
for someone my age
to eat junk food.
482
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,769
Please, go ahead, I'm listening.
483
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:50,837
The Council's just plain
484
00:17:50,903 --> 00:17:52,172
worried about judges, Senator.
485
00:17:52,239 --> 00:17:53,740
The reverends are all afraid
486
00:17:53,806 --> 00:17:56,509
of the kind of
judges you'd appoint.
487
00:18:01,848 --> 00:18:03,550
( clears throat )
488
00:18:03,616 --> 00:18:05,985
We're gonna need
a guarantee on judges, we're...
489
00:18:06,052 --> 00:18:08,755
George, when I'm President,
490
00:18:08,821 --> 00:18:10,790
I'm going to be very eager
for input
491
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:14,361
from you and the group
on judicial nominations.
492
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:16,296
I'm going to make
the Vice President
493
00:18:16,363 --> 00:18:18,898
my point man on judges.
494
00:18:18,965 --> 00:18:20,567
You know Ray Sullivan.
495
00:18:20,633 --> 00:18:23,770
A great man; great governor;
gonna make a great VP.
496
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:26,773
And you know that Ray
shares your views on everything
497
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:29,008
that's important
to your organization.
498
00:18:29,075 --> 00:18:31,444
You mean to my religion.
499
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:34,347
Yeah.
500
00:18:36,383 --> 00:18:39,852
( sighs )
501
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:41,888
We're not worried
about Ray Sullivan.
502
00:18:41,954 --> 00:18:43,190
We're worried about you.
503
00:18:47,927 --> 00:18:50,563
Ray likes the judges you like.
504
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:53,300
And I'm going to rely
on Ray's recommendations.
505
00:18:53,366 --> 00:18:55,402
A pro-life VP
making recommendations
506
00:18:55,468 --> 00:18:56,403
isn't enough, Senator.
507
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:57,904
We need you to commit
508
00:18:57,970 --> 00:18:59,672
to appointing
pro-life judges.
509
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:04,311
Look, Santos voted
for partial-birth abortion;
510
00:19:04,377 --> 00:19:06,045
at least I'm with you on that.
511
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:08,481
Reverend Butler and the others
think that just means
512
00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:10,483
that Santos wants to kill
513
00:19:10,550 --> 00:19:13,820
a few hundred more babies
a year than you do.
514
00:19:22,629 --> 00:19:24,664
You think I want
to kill babies, George?
515
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:33,540
Senator...
516
00:19:33,606 --> 00:19:35,508
Santos is closing the gap
with you.
517
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:37,610
If our voters stay at home,
you lose.
518
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:40,012
I came here to tell you
how to get our voters.
519
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,414
I came here to help you.
520
00:19:46,586 --> 00:19:47,620
Okay.
521
00:19:50,089 --> 00:19:52,325
Can we speak confidentially?
522
00:19:55,962 --> 00:19:57,597
Okay, can you hear me now?
523
00:19:57,664 --> 00:19:59,432
( indistinct radio
transmission )
524
00:19:59,499 --> 00:20:02,935
Oh, okay, go ahead.
525
00:20:03,002 --> 00:20:04,937
All right, thanks.
526
00:20:05,004 --> 00:20:07,374
Santos picked up another
point in our tracking poll.
527
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,209
We're down to a
four-point lead.
If that.
528
00:20:10,277 --> 00:20:12,879
VINICK:
That's why I want
to double the Border Patrol,
529
00:20:12,945 --> 00:20:14,381
double the manpower down here.
530
00:20:14,447 --> 00:20:17,049
Give you guys what you need
to get the job done.
531
00:20:17,116 --> 00:20:20,253
The easiest way for a terrorist
to get into this country
532
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,289
is to cross this border.
533
00:20:22,355 --> 00:20:24,223
This isn't just
an immigration issue,
534
00:20:24,291 --> 00:20:26,626
this is a Homeland
Security issue.
535
00:20:26,693 --> 00:20:28,961
We have to get control
of our borders.
536
00:20:29,028 --> 00:20:30,363
( reporters clamoring )
537
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,639
Hey, Vinick just proposed
doubling the Border Patrol
538
00:20:39,706 --> 00:20:41,007
at the Mexican border.
Any comment?
539
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:43,310
No, I was not surprised
the Santos VFW speech
540
00:20:43,376 --> 00:20:45,645
was interrupted by applause
18 times.
541
00:20:45,712 --> 00:20:47,414
Matt Santos is a combat veteran
who understands...
542
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,582
Vinick says the border
is a security issue--
543
00:20:49,649 --> 00:20:52,319
gotta stop Al Qaeda
at the Rio Grande.
544
00:20:52,385 --> 00:20:53,486
I'll get back
to you on that.
545
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:55,988
Really?
No.
546
00:20:59,025 --> 00:21:01,628
Vinick's proposing
doubling the Border Patrol.
547
00:21:01,694 --> 00:21:03,129
Hmm.
548
00:21:03,195 --> 00:21:04,997
How's Vinick gonna pay for it,
if he's cutting taxes?
549
00:21:05,064 --> 00:21:06,098
Save it for
the debates.
550
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:07,534
Don't fan that flame today.
551
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,868
You need to keep chipping away
at Vinick's lead
552
00:21:08,935 --> 00:21:10,670
on national security issues.
He might as well
553
00:21:10,737 --> 00:21:12,505
be saying, "Elect a Latino,
and there'll be
554
00:21:12,572 --> 00:21:14,341
a Mexican family
sleeping on your front lawn."
555
00:21:14,407 --> 00:21:15,408
Don't let him get to you.
556
00:21:15,475 --> 00:21:16,543
That's easy for you to say.
557
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:17,910
Yeah. You ready for
558
00:21:17,977 --> 00:21:19,812
the one-on-ones?
Yep.
559
00:21:19,879 --> 00:21:21,648
We picked up another point
in our tracking.
560
00:21:21,714 --> 00:21:24,951
Story of the day:
momentum, momentum, momentum.
561
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,421
Come on in, Ellen.
562
00:21:28,488 --> 00:21:29,856
This is Ellen Trayers
of the Boston Globe.
563
00:21:29,922 --> 00:21:31,824
Hi, Ellen.
564
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:33,826
Have a seat.
565
00:21:33,893 --> 00:21:35,995
ELLEN:
Senator Vinick wants to
double the Border Patrol.
566
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:37,196
Do you think
that will
567
00:21:37,263 --> 00:21:38,831
stop illegal
immigration?
568
00:21:38,898 --> 00:21:41,801
Every poll shows us closing
the gap, gaining momentum.
569
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:43,470
So, suddenly,
you're going to hear
570
00:21:43,536 --> 00:21:45,572
all sorts of new proposals
from the other side.
571
00:21:45,638 --> 00:21:47,374
But what the American people
are going to hear from me
572
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,208
is a consistent message
on national security.
573
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:52,812
I told the VFW today,
keeping this country safe
574
00:21:52,879 --> 00:21:55,648
is my top priority, and I intend
on sticking to that.
575
00:22:03,122 --> 00:22:04,957
Thought you had to get over
to Santos headquarters
576
00:22:05,024 --> 00:22:06,125
for debate negotiations.
577
00:22:06,192 --> 00:22:08,761
You gotta see this.
578
00:22:18,137 --> 00:22:19,105
Get me the Senator.
579
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,110
( phone ringing )
580
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,912
Sheila.
581
00:22:25,978 --> 00:22:26,979
Yeah.
582
00:22:27,046 --> 00:22:29,849
Just a heads up:
crazy Internet thing.
583
00:22:29,916 --> 00:22:32,585
Drudge is reporting
that "sources close
584
00:22:32,652 --> 00:22:34,421
to the American
Christian Assembly"
585
00:22:34,487 --> 00:22:36,355
say you promised them
approval of judges.
586
00:22:36,423 --> 00:22:38,057
I got the Minutemen
waiting for me here.
587
00:22:38,124 --> 00:22:39,158
Can we talk about this later?
588
00:22:39,225 --> 00:22:40,393
Problem is,
589
00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:42,128
the press takes Drudge
very seriously.
590
00:22:42,194 --> 00:22:43,963
So we have to issue a denial.
591
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,998
We'll put out something
on paper from here.
592
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:48,134
Keep it low-key.
593
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,502
Hold off on that denial.
594
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:52,204
You didn't promise them
anything, did you?
595
00:22:52,271 --> 00:22:54,040
We'll talk about this later.
596
00:22:57,644 --> 00:22:58,811
What'd he say?
597
00:22:59,912 --> 00:23:01,581
Nothing.
598
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:07,920
We've got a problem, right?
599
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:13,593
Hi.
Good to see you.
600
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:14,994
How are you?
Hi, how you doing?
601
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,863
It's an honor, Senator.
Appreciate your coming.
602
00:23:16,929 --> 00:23:18,330
What's your name?
Harley Parker.
603
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:19,866
Have you caught anybody yet,
Harley?
604
00:23:19,932 --> 00:23:22,535
Well, there's a lot of publicity
about us being out here,
605
00:23:22,602 --> 00:23:23,970
so, you know, they're...
606
00:23:24,036 --> 00:23:25,605
they're probably gonna find
another spot to cross.
607
00:23:25,672 --> 00:23:27,540
Yeah, that's why we got
to get tough about this.
608
00:23:27,607 --> 00:23:28,675
Senator, are you
saying the Minutemen
should get tough
609
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:30,042
with the illegals?
610
00:23:30,109 --> 00:23:31,978
We've got
a 2,000-mile border here,
611
00:23:32,044 --> 00:23:35,047
and most of it is unprotected
most of the time.
612
00:23:35,114 --> 00:23:37,216
We can't have real
homeland security
613
00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:38,651
if we can't secure our borders.
614
00:23:38,718 --> 00:23:40,953
Senator, the Border Patrol
has asked the Minutemen
615
00:23:41,020 --> 00:23:41,988
to stop operations.
616
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:43,623
Why do you support
the Minutemen?
617
00:23:46,593 --> 00:23:48,060
I understand why the
Minutemen are here.
618
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:51,263
I understand their frustration,
and I share their goals.
619
00:23:51,330 --> 00:23:53,966
But I agree
with the Border Patrol.
620
00:23:54,033 --> 00:23:56,803
We should leave law enforcement
to the professionals.
621
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:58,004
The Minutemen are showing you
622
00:23:58,070 --> 00:23:59,806
why we need
to double the Border Patrol.
623
00:23:59,872 --> 00:24:02,642
What you see here today
is going to continue,
624
00:24:02,709 --> 00:24:04,877
if the government fails
to police this border.
625
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:07,814
We're going to have more
and more vigilantes coming here
626
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,316
to do it themselves,
and that's not the American way.
627
00:24:10,382 --> 00:24:12,919
( reporters clamoring )
628
00:24:21,794 --> 00:24:23,462
SANTOS:
This is a great example
629
00:24:23,530 --> 00:24:25,632
of how we can strengthen
national security
630
00:24:25,698 --> 00:24:27,667
and strengthen our economy
at the same time.
631
00:24:27,734 --> 00:24:30,570
The Air Force urgently needs
more C-17s,
632
00:24:30,637 --> 00:24:32,772
and the American workers
are ready, willing,
633
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:34,373
and able to do the job, so...
634
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,108
Senator Vinick says
the Minutemen
635
00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:38,044
patrolling the Mexican
border are vigilantes.
636
00:24:38,110 --> 00:24:39,311
Do you agree?
637
00:24:39,378 --> 00:24:40,647
Ellen, I'm here to see the job
638
00:24:40,713 --> 00:24:42,582
that these workers are doing
for America.
639
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,183
How they're doing their part
for the economy
640
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:45,685
and for national security.
641
00:24:45,752 --> 00:24:47,253
Congressman, do you think
they're vigilantes?
642
00:24:47,319 --> 00:24:48,988
The C-17 is our most advanced
military cargo plane.
643
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:50,056
It's able to...
644
00:24:50,122 --> 00:24:51,724
Congressman,
you're from a border state.
645
00:24:51,791 --> 00:24:53,560
What do you think we need to do
to secure the border?
646
00:24:53,626 --> 00:24:54,794
I don't see how you can afford
647
00:24:54,861 --> 00:24:55,995
to double
the Border Patrol budget
648
00:24:56,062 --> 00:24:57,496
if you're going to cut taxes.
649
00:24:57,564 --> 00:24:58,898
WOMAN:
So, doubling the
Border Patrol is
650
00:24:58,965 --> 00:25:00,533
a good idea that we
just can't afford?
651
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,368
Doubling the Border Patrol is
not going to solve the problem.
652
00:25:02,434 --> 00:25:04,671
Congressman, do you agree
with Senator Vinick
653
00:25:04,737 --> 00:25:06,505
that Minutemen are vigilantes?
654
00:25:11,143 --> 00:25:12,378
Yes, I do.
655
00:25:12,444 --> 00:25:13,379
We got a problem.
656
00:25:13,445 --> 00:25:14,714
He agreed with Vinick?
657
00:25:14,781 --> 00:25:16,182
We're ready in the
conference room.
658
00:25:16,248 --> 00:25:18,017
Okay, try to keep him
on message.
659
00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:19,018
I got to go.
660
00:25:19,085 --> 00:25:20,553
Vinick's killing
our VFW coverage
661
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:22,321
with his Mexican border junk.
662
00:25:22,388 --> 00:25:23,856
They sent Bruno.
663
00:25:23,923 --> 00:25:24,724
WOMAN ( on TV ):
In a surprising development...
664
00:25:24,791 --> 00:25:26,192
Of course they did.
665
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,594
...in a day of campaigning
on the Mexican border,
666
00:25:27,660 --> 00:25:29,061
Arnold Vinick said
that civilians
667
00:25:29,128 --> 00:25:30,797
who have been patrolling
the border are vigilantes.
668
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:33,666
Matt Santos then agreed
with Senator Vinick.
669
00:25:47,714 --> 00:25:50,082
What are you doing here?
670
00:25:50,149 --> 00:25:52,518
I believe the agenda
is debate negotiations.
671
00:25:52,585 --> 00:25:53,686
JOSH:
I mean, what are you doing here
672
00:25:53,753 --> 00:25:55,421
representing
a Republican candidate?
673
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:56,789
Great guy.
674
00:25:56,856 --> 00:25:57,957
You'd love him.
675
00:25:58,024 --> 00:25:59,659
Come on, he's a Republican!
676
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:01,427
I noticed that.
677
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:03,462
So, you switched parties?
678
00:26:03,529 --> 00:26:04,697
Just this once.
679
00:26:04,764 --> 00:26:05,998
Career on the slide,
680
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:07,233
figure you'd grab
a few headlines
681
00:26:07,299 --> 00:26:09,335
by signing up with the enemy?
682
00:26:09,401 --> 00:26:12,571
Taking a salary
or a percentage of the ad buy?
683
00:26:12,639 --> 00:26:15,441
I made so much money
on your campaigns,
684
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:17,977
I might just do this one
for free.
685
00:26:25,952 --> 00:26:27,987
Whenever you're ready.
686
00:26:34,393 --> 00:26:35,227
BRUNO:
We had a very
687
00:26:35,294 --> 00:26:36,362
productive meeting.
688
00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:37,429
REPORTER:
Did you agree
on a format?
689
00:26:37,496 --> 00:26:38,631
No.
690
00:26:38,698 --> 00:26:39,498
REPORTER 2:
Did you agree
on dates?
691
00:26:39,565 --> 00:26:40,700
No.
692
00:26:40,767 --> 00:26:41,533
Did you agree on the
number of debates?
693
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,935
No.
694
00:26:43,002 --> 00:26:45,004
How many debates is
the Vinick campaign proposing?
695
00:26:45,071 --> 00:26:47,206
We think one's enough
to highlight the differences
696
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:48,407
between the candidates,
697
00:26:48,474 --> 00:26:50,609
especially since
they seem to agree on so much.
698
00:26:50,677 --> 00:26:52,044
Thank you very much.
699
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,646
He came here so he could
hold a press conference
700
00:26:53,713 --> 00:26:55,181
at our front door.
701
00:26:55,247 --> 00:26:57,083
Pretend there's no difference
between Santos and Vinick.
702
00:26:57,149 --> 00:26:59,919
Slimy, sleazy,
703
00:26:59,986 --> 00:27:01,520
back-stabbing, mother...
704
00:27:01,587 --> 00:27:03,155
You got any new numbers yet?
705
00:27:03,222 --> 00:27:04,590
BRUNO:
We've moved up three points
on the tracking.
706
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:06,125
We're ahead by seven.
707
00:27:06,192 --> 00:27:08,327
The Border Patrol thing worked
with conservatives,
708
00:27:08,394 --> 00:27:10,429
the vigilante thing worked
with liberals.
709
00:27:10,496 --> 00:27:13,099
Did you know he was going
to call them vigilantes?
710
00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:14,100
I had no idea.
711
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:15,501
Thought it was going
to be a day
712
00:27:15,567 --> 00:27:17,269
of red meat
for conservatives;
713
00:27:17,336 --> 00:27:19,305
he pulls a little something
out of the hat for libs.
714
00:27:19,371 --> 00:27:21,173
Amazing. What did he say
about the pro-life judges thing?
715
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,009
He keeps avoiding the subject
with me.
716
00:27:23,075 --> 00:27:25,111
I'm going to try and corner him
about it after this thing.
717
00:27:25,177 --> 00:27:27,680
Yeah, well, it's page one of
the Atlanta Constitutiontoday,
718
00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:29,816
so...
719
00:27:32,351 --> 00:27:33,720
Good morning.
720
00:27:33,786 --> 00:27:37,824
I've returned to the Senate
today to introduce S.1103,
721
00:27:37,890 --> 00:27:40,226
a bill
to establish a guest worker visa
722
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:42,361
for farm workers and other
minimum wage workers...
723
00:27:42,428 --> 00:27:43,595
Guest worker program?!
724
00:27:43,662 --> 00:27:44,797
This guy's unbelievable.
725
00:27:44,864 --> 00:27:46,933
...not eligible for work visas.
726
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:49,468
This is a sensible solution
to a problem
727
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:51,437
that we have to face honestly.
728
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:53,039
There are currently at least
729
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:55,307
ten million illegal immigrants
in this country,
730
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:58,244
most of whom are doing
a hard day's work
731
00:27:58,310 --> 00:28:00,246
at low-paying jobs
that Americans don't want.
732
00:28:00,312 --> 00:28:01,513
( phone ringing )
733
00:28:01,580 --> 00:28:03,082
It is time for us
to create a legal system of...
734
00:28:03,149 --> 00:28:04,516
( clears throat ):
Yeah?
735
00:28:04,583 --> 00:28:06,452
...Aerospace workers
who have delivered 250...
736
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:09,155
Hey, I just got a question
about a guest worker program
737
00:28:09,221 --> 00:28:10,990
for illegals
Vinick's going to propose.
738
00:28:11,057 --> 00:28:13,259
He's introducing a bill
in the Senate right now.
739
00:28:13,325 --> 00:28:15,227
Sounds like he's coming
at us from the left today.
740
00:28:15,294 --> 00:28:17,429
Only problem is, when
the Congressman hears about it,
741
00:28:17,496 --> 00:28:19,999
he's gonna want to be
a cosponsor of Vinick's bill.
742
00:28:20,066 --> 00:28:21,300
SANTOS:
You know, I introduced
743
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:22,434
a guest worker program
744
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:23,970
the first year I
was in Congress.
745
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,972
I couldn't even
get a hearing on it.
746
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:27,339
Vinick opens his mouth
about it once,
747
00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:28,875
it's like he's
parting the Red Sea.
748
00:28:28,941 --> 00:28:29,942
But if you agree with it,
you're gonna look
749
00:28:30,009 --> 00:28:31,844
like a follower,
not a leader.
750
00:28:31,911 --> 00:28:33,179
Well, he's the one
that's following
me on this one.
751
00:28:33,245 --> 00:28:35,014
It won't look like it;
not now.
752
00:28:35,081 --> 00:28:36,615
We can't be chasing reporters
around with a six-year-old page
753
00:28:36,682 --> 00:28:38,350
from the Congressional Record
to prove you got there first.
754
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:40,019
Yeah, well, I shouldn't have
been hiding on these issues.
755
00:28:40,086 --> 00:28:41,553
I didn't want
to be the brown candidate.
756
00:28:41,620 --> 00:28:42,955
I didn't want
to be stereotyped.
757
00:28:43,022 --> 00:28:44,490
Josh was right.
758
00:28:44,556 --> 00:28:46,292
I should have gotten out
in front on all this stuff
759
00:28:46,358 --> 00:28:47,159
during the primaries.
760
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:48,360
You were great
in the primaries.
761
00:28:48,427 --> 00:28:50,162
You won the nomination.
762
00:28:50,229 --> 00:28:52,932
Lou, I shut up on
Latino issues and gave
Vinick this opening.
763
00:28:52,999 --> 00:28:55,802
Vinick is gonna have
some good days.
764
00:28:55,868 --> 00:28:58,670
We're giving him
too many good days.
765
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,006
Senator, you went hard right
yesterday
766
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,074
with your Border Patrol idea,
and you managed to
767
00:29:02,141 --> 00:29:04,944
throw a bone to the left
with the vigilantes comment.
768
00:29:05,011 --> 00:29:07,346
Today you went hard left
with an amnesty program
769
00:29:07,413 --> 00:29:08,747
for illegal aliens.
770
00:29:08,815 --> 00:29:10,950
You're obviously trying
to trip up the Santos campaign
771
00:29:11,017 --> 00:29:12,952
with this zigzag,
but don't you run the risk
772
00:29:13,019 --> 00:29:15,354
of confusing the voters
about where you stand?
773
00:29:15,421 --> 00:29:18,290
Oh, I've made it very clear
where I stand, Chris.
774
00:29:18,357 --> 00:29:19,892
Enforcement first.
775
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:21,994
That's what we have to do
at the border.
776
00:29:22,061 --> 00:29:25,097
Stop illegal immigration
and keep the terrorists out.
777
00:29:25,164 --> 00:29:27,099
And then, once we've secured
the border,
778
00:29:27,166 --> 00:29:29,135
we have to deal
with the illegal immigrants
779
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:32,104
who are already here,
putting in an honest day's work,
780
00:29:32,171 --> 00:29:33,772
doing the... doing the jobs
we need them to do.
781
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,074
Perfect.
782
00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:36,142
MATTHEWS:
Senator, where have you been
783
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:37,844
on these Border Patrol issues?
784
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:39,846
Why haven't you talked about
the Border Patrol budget before?
785
00:29:39,912 --> 00:29:42,448
Why haven't you come up with
a guest worker program before?
786
00:29:42,514 --> 00:29:45,551
Aren't you suddenly leaning
on these Mexican border issues
787
00:29:45,617 --> 00:29:47,219
because your opponent is Latino,
788
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:48,988
and you figure
he can't talk tough
789
00:29:49,055 --> 00:29:50,322
about the border patrol
790
00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:51,858
or risk saying anything
that sounds like amnesty
791
00:29:51,924 --> 00:29:53,192
for illegals?
792
00:29:53,259 --> 00:29:54,393
Yeah, welcome
to Hardball, Arnie.
793
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:55,427
I think I counted
794
00:29:55,494 --> 00:29:56,728
five questions
that time, Chris.
795
00:29:56,795 --> 00:29:58,230
Vinick's on the ropes now.
796
00:29:58,297 --> 00:29:59,498
Come on, Senator, you're trying
to jam Santos, right?
797
00:29:59,565 --> 00:30:01,367
Come on, Chris, baby,
keep slugging.
798
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:03,235
I'm from California;
I've lived with these problems
799
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:04,570
for a long time,
and I've worked hard
800
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:05,972
on them in the Senate.
801
00:30:06,038 --> 00:30:08,841
But a Senator can only do
so much.
802
00:30:08,908 --> 00:30:10,276
I want to be President
803
00:30:10,342 --> 00:30:11,810
because these are the kinds
of problems
804
00:30:11,878 --> 00:30:14,080
that Presidential leadership
can solve.
805
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,215
Senator, we're running out
of time, but I want to ask you
806
00:30:16,282 --> 00:30:18,017
about the story
that you have secretly pledged
807
00:30:18,084 --> 00:30:19,818
to appoint pro-life judges.
808
00:30:19,886 --> 00:30:21,353
Is that true?
809
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:24,190
VINICK:
Well, Chris,
the selection of federal judges
810
00:30:24,256 --> 00:30:26,592
and Supreme Court justices is
811
00:30:26,658 --> 00:30:28,961
one of the most important
Presidential powers.
812
00:30:29,028 --> 00:30:31,397
And I hope to have a broad range
of input
813
00:30:31,463 --> 00:30:33,832
and advice
on my judicial appointments,
814
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,302
especially from
my Vice President, Ray Sullivan,
815
00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:38,170
who, as a former
federal prosecutor...
816
00:30:38,237 --> 00:30:39,338
Senator, we're out of time.
817
00:30:39,405 --> 00:30:41,140
Will you appoint
pro-life judges?
818
00:30:41,207 --> 00:30:45,244
Chris, the founding fathers
could have written a litmus test
819
00:30:45,311 --> 00:30:47,379
for judges
into the Constitution,
820
00:30:47,446 --> 00:30:50,216
but they chose not to,
so I don't think
821
00:30:50,282 --> 00:30:52,784
the President should impose
a litmus test for...
822
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,720
All right, okay,
no litmus test for judges.
823
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:56,122
That's all the time we have.
824
00:30:56,188 --> 00:30:57,289
Thank you, Senator Vinick.
825
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:59,525
VINICK:
Thank you, Chris.
826
00:31:04,063 --> 00:31:05,631
( knocking on door )
827
00:31:05,697 --> 00:31:06,665
Yeah?
828
00:31:06,732 --> 00:31:08,134
Morning.
829
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:09,768
What are you doing here?
830
00:31:09,835 --> 00:31:12,171
Just thought I'd see
what it's like out on the road.
831
00:31:12,238 --> 00:31:14,340
The candidate's exhausted.
832
00:31:14,406 --> 00:31:16,542
Yeah, well, I'll see
what I can do about that.
833
00:31:16,608 --> 00:31:18,144
Mm-hmm.
834
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,579
Lou called you here so you guys
could double-team me, huh?
835
00:31:20,646 --> 00:31:21,914
Keep me on message?
836
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,283
Actually, we were hoping
to tweak the message
837
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:26,452
a little bit today, by adding
a couple of paragraphs
838
00:31:26,518 --> 00:31:28,454
about the Supreme Court
to the stump.
839
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:29,888
The next President's
probably going to put
840
00:31:29,956 --> 00:31:31,490
a couple of judges
on the Court--
841
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:33,292
women's right to choose
is at stake, stuff like that.
842
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:34,961
The more you talk
about the Court,
843
00:31:35,027 --> 00:31:37,563
the more the press will hammer
Vinick on the judges rumor.
844
00:31:37,629 --> 00:31:40,532
You actually think he'd promise
the reverends pro-life judges?
845
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:42,001
I think he wants to win.
846
00:31:42,068 --> 00:31:45,471
'Cause I... I can't
believe he'd go that far.
847
00:31:45,537 --> 00:31:48,107
Yeah, well, we'll use the story
to put pressure on Vinick.
848
00:31:48,174 --> 00:31:51,177
Get the press to jam him
with questions about the judges,
849
00:31:51,243 --> 00:31:53,179
instead of him jamming us
with questions about the border.
850
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:54,580
He's killing me on that stuff.
851
00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:56,315
I have to find ways to
challenge him on it.
852
00:31:56,382 --> 00:31:58,384
First, we have to put him on
the defensive about the judges,
853
00:31:58,450 --> 00:32:00,252
so we can get control
of our message again.
854
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:02,054
We've been scoring
on national security.
855
00:32:02,121 --> 00:32:03,822
We can get
the momentum back if we...
856
00:32:03,889 --> 00:32:05,224
Stay on message.
857
00:32:05,291 --> 00:32:06,758
If someone goes on the record
and says that Vinick
858
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:09,761
promised pro-life judges,
the story's gonna explode.
859
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,030
We'll be in the driver's seat.
860
00:32:13,365 --> 00:32:15,267
The New York Times loves
your guest worker program.
861
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:18,804
I think we might have a shot
at an endorsement.
862
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:20,806
Kiss of death
for a conservative.
863
00:32:20,872 --> 00:32:22,208
New York has 31
electoral votes.
864
00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:23,642
DAN:
I'm just sayin'...
865
00:32:23,709 --> 00:32:25,411
Leon, do you have
the talking points on CAFTA?
866
00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:27,513
SHEILA:
George Rohr called me
before breakfast today.
867
00:32:27,579 --> 00:32:29,548
Watched you on Hardball
last night.
868
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:32,718
Thinks you two need to have
a clarifying meeting.
869
00:32:32,784 --> 00:32:34,220
Let Ray Sullivan talk to him.
870
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,055
He knows how to talk
to those people.
871
00:32:38,090 --> 00:32:40,026
"Those people"
can take this election
872
00:32:40,092 --> 00:32:41,893
away from you,
so you'd better...
873
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,462
I can't meet with him again.
874
00:32:43,529 --> 00:32:45,464
Well, he somehow got the idea
that you promised him
875
00:32:45,531 --> 00:32:46,698
approval of judges.
876
00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:48,167
That's because I did.
877
00:32:49,835 --> 00:32:51,937
You promised them judges?
878
00:32:52,004 --> 00:32:53,172
Yeah.
879
00:32:54,006 --> 00:32:55,241
I lied.
880
00:32:56,908 --> 00:32:58,844
You lied?
881
00:32:58,910 --> 00:33:01,047
Yeah, so did George Rohr.
882
00:33:01,113 --> 00:33:02,581
He promised to keep it secret
883
00:33:02,648 --> 00:33:05,217
and then the first thing he does
is leak it to Drudge.
884
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:08,654
You lied to George?
885
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,223
I lied to a liar.
886
00:33:11,290 --> 00:33:13,359
Miserable little...
887
00:33:13,425 --> 00:33:16,895
He's what's wrong
with this party.
888
00:33:16,962 --> 00:33:18,864
He's the problem, not me!
889
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,366
Geez...
890
00:33:20,432 --> 00:33:22,634
Tell that lying little creep
the United States Senate
891
00:33:22,701 --> 00:33:27,839
gets to advise and consent
on judges, not the clergy.
892
00:33:27,906 --> 00:33:31,377
If his gang wants to have a say
in picking judges,
893
00:33:31,443 --> 00:33:33,712
tell him to run for the Senate.
894
00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:41,053
Are you done?
895
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,521
Yeah. You?
896
00:33:42,588 --> 00:33:43,789
Oh, yeah.
897
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:48,660
I was just trying
to get through the meeting.
898
00:33:48,727 --> 00:33:50,529
He had me cornered,
so I figured,
899
00:33:50,596 --> 00:33:52,498
what the hell,
tell him what he wants to hear
900
00:33:52,564 --> 00:33:54,400
and then ignore him
when I'm in the White House.
901
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:56,602
If you had
checked with me,
902
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:58,737
I would have told you
that wouldn't work.
903
00:33:58,804 --> 00:34:00,172
That he would leak it
904
00:34:00,239 --> 00:34:02,808
and then you'd be forced
to confirm or deny.
905
00:34:02,874 --> 00:34:05,377
Either of which would hurt us
906
00:34:05,444 --> 00:34:07,546
with a very large
block of voters!
907
00:34:07,613 --> 00:34:08,980
I thought you said
you were done.
908
00:34:09,047 --> 00:34:10,549
I lied.
909
00:34:15,587 --> 00:34:19,158
Looks like it's time to call
Ray Sullivan out of the bullpen.
910
00:34:22,194 --> 00:34:25,764
VINICK:
Today, I am introducing a sense
of the Senate resolution,
911
00:34:25,831 --> 00:34:29,568
urging the President
to expedite implementation
912
00:34:29,635 --> 00:34:32,204
of the Central American
Free Trade Agreement,
913
00:34:32,271 --> 00:34:34,206
because it is
an essential component
914
00:34:34,273 --> 00:34:36,675
to securing the Mexican border.
915
00:34:36,742 --> 00:34:40,612
Increasing trade with Central
America is good for our economy,
916
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:43,315
and it's good
for their economies.
917
00:34:43,382 --> 00:34:45,184
More jobs in Central America
918
00:34:45,251 --> 00:34:48,154
means less illegal immigration
in this country.
919
00:34:48,220 --> 00:34:49,155
It's that simple.
920
00:34:49,221 --> 00:34:50,522
Senator!
Senator!
921
00:34:50,589 --> 00:34:52,023
Were you trying to highlight
your support for CAFTA
922
00:34:52,090 --> 00:34:54,393
because Congressman Santos
voted against it?
923
00:34:54,460 --> 00:34:56,195
He did?
I thought he voted for it.
924
00:34:56,262 --> 00:34:57,896
I'm not sure how he voted.
925
00:34:57,963 --> 00:34:59,631
You can check on that.
926
00:34:59,698 --> 00:35:03,135
I certainly was surprised that
so many Democrats in the House
927
00:35:03,202 --> 00:35:05,337
voted against
helping impoverished
928
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:08,039
Central American countries
to build their economies,
929
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:10,909
especially when it's good
for our economy, too.
930
00:35:10,976 --> 00:35:12,544
Senator, did you promise
the American
931
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:15,113
Christian Assembly you would
appoint pro-life judges?
932
00:35:15,181 --> 00:35:16,748
This is the Senate press
briefing room.
933
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:18,884
This isn't the place
for campaign questions. Next.
934
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,219
( reporters shouting )
935
00:35:20,286 --> 00:35:21,887
VINICK:
Yes, in the back.
936
00:35:23,922 --> 00:35:25,691
JOSH:
Probably going to get
a question about CAFTA.
937
00:35:25,757 --> 00:35:27,726
Because Vinick just said
something about CAFTA?
938
00:35:27,793 --> 00:35:29,561
Still, we should...
Damn, he's good.
939
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:31,062
Let's not play
Vinick's game on CAFTA.
940
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:32,264
Voters don't
care about it.
941
00:35:32,331 --> 00:35:34,266
Okay, let's do it.
942
00:35:36,602 --> 00:35:38,036
I get some sleep
after this, right?
943
00:35:38,103 --> 00:35:39,905
Two hours. I promise.
944
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:41,207
Ted Zukoski, Chicago Tribune.
945
00:35:41,273 --> 00:35:42,708
Ted.
Hi.
946
00:35:42,774 --> 00:35:43,909
Sit down, Ted.
947
00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,177
Thank you.
948
00:35:46,912 --> 00:35:50,349
Congressman... uh,
today, Senator Vinick
949
00:35:50,416 --> 00:35:52,284
said that he was surprised
that so many Democrats
950
00:35:52,351 --> 00:35:54,820
had voted against CAFTA--
now, do you think...
951
00:35:54,886 --> 00:35:57,556
International trade agreements
are an important component
952
00:35:57,623 --> 00:35:59,725
of our long-term national
security planning,
953
00:35:59,791 --> 00:36:02,561
because nations
who buy from each other,
954
00:36:02,628 --> 00:36:03,962
usually don't
shoot at each other.
955
00:36:04,029 --> 00:36:06,398
Which is why our trade
relationships with China
956
00:36:06,465 --> 00:36:08,567
are every bit as important
to our national security...
957
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:10,336
Now, why did you
vote against CAFTA?
958
00:36:13,572 --> 00:36:15,407
It was a complicated bill.
959
00:36:15,474 --> 00:36:18,277
Well, Senator Vinick says
that the more jobs there are
960
00:36:18,344 --> 00:36:20,346
in Central America,
the fewer people
961
00:36:20,412 --> 00:36:22,414
will try to get into
the U.S. illegally.
962
00:36:22,481 --> 00:36:24,783
That's true.
Look, I am for free trade,
963
00:36:24,850 --> 00:36:26,752
I'm for fair trade,
964
00:36:26,818 --> 00:36:30,155
but CAFTA was not a fair deal
for us or for Central America.
965
00:36:30,222 --> 00:36:32,924
Are you saying that CAFTA won't
help Central America at all?
966
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,894
Of course it will, but not
as much as it could have.
967
00:36:35,961 --> 00:36:38,330
Look, I voted for CAFTA
before I voted against it.
968
00:36:38,397 --> 00:36:40,566
I voted for it in committee,
when it was a good bill.
969
00:36:40,632 --> 00:36:43,302
And then the special interests
started hacking away at it,
970
00:36:43,369 --> 00:36:45,271
and it was a mess by the time
it got to the floor,
971
00:36:45,337 --> 00:36:47,606
so I... I voted against it.
972
00:36:51,843 --> 00:36:53,712
We have to let him loose
on CAFTA.
973
00:36:53,779 --> 00:36:55,581
Get him into
a town hall setting,
974
00:36:55,647 --> 00:36:58,917
let him explain his thinking
to real people, not reporters.
975
00:36:58,984 --> 00:37:01,152
The press is never going to
let him explain voting for it
976
00:37:01,219 --> 00:37:04,089
and then voting against it,
so we're going to have to...
977
00:37:04,155 --> 00:37:06,191
We just got
our tracking.
978
00:37:06,258 --> 00:37:07,826
How bad?
979
00:37:07,893 --> 00:37:09,428
Got Vinick up by 12.
980
00:37:09,495 --> 00:37:10,629
( heavy sigh )
981
00:37:10,696 --> 00:37:11,863
Hey.
Hey.
982
00:37:11,930 --> 00:37:16,167
I hear Vinick's tracking
has him up by ten.
983
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:18,604
That's not what we have.
984
00:37:23,475 --> 00:37:24,943
George, great to see you.
985
00:37:25,010 --> 00:37:26,578
Good to see you,
Governor.
986
00:37:26,645 --> 00:37:28,747
I don't know why they bother
to keep giving me hotel rooms.
987
00:37:28,814 --> 00:37:32,183
This campaign doesn't let
the VP candidate actually sleep.
988
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:33,619
Coffee?
989
00:37:33,685 --> 00:37:35,587
No, thanks.
990
00:37:35,654 --> 00:37:37,989
We've got a
serious problem.
991
00:37:38,056 --> 00:37:40,559
George, I understand
why you'd like the Senator
992
00:37:40,626 --> 00:37:43,462
to make a public commitment
on judges,
993
00:37:43,529 --> 00:37:46,432
but you've never asked a nominee
to do that before.
994
00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:49,735
We've never had a pro-choice
nominee before.
995
00:37:49,801 --> 00:37:52,538
He's got to give us a
reason to support him.
996
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:54,039
And that reason
is sittin' right here.
997
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:57,576
All due respect, Governor,
but that's not enough.
998
00:37:57,643 --> 00:38:02,113
Now, he promises me
he'll appoint pro-life judges.
999
00:38:02,180 --> 00:38:03,615
I tell the reverends that,
1000
00:38:03,682 --> 00:38:07,185
and then I see him on TV
doing the "no litmus test" bit.
1001
00:38:07,252 --> 00:38:08,420
He humiliated me.
1002
00:38:08,487 --> 00:38:10,656
Some of our people
are begging me
1003
00:38:10,722 --> 00:38:13,825
to release a statement
saying he lied to me.
1004
00:38:13,892 --> 00:38:15,361
And I'm asking you
not to do that,
1005
00:38:15,427 --> 00:38:18,163
as a personal favor to me.
1006
00:38:18,229 --> 00:38:19,631
This is bigger than that.
1007
00:38:19,698 --> 00:38:23,034
Nothing's bigger
than personal favors; not to me.
1008
00:38:23,101 --> 00:38:26,137
You're looking at the
next Vice President
1009
00:38:26,204 --> 00:38:27,573
or the next front-runner
1010
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:30,909
for the Republican
nomination for President.
1011
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:32,911
You want to be my friend,
George, believe me.
1012
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:35,781
Being my friend is a lot better
than being my enemy.
1013
00:38:35,847 --> 00:38:39,217
We have no problem
with you, Governor.
1014
00:38:39,284 --> 00:38:40,519
( sighs )
1015
00:38:40,586 --> 00:38:41,720
You've been promised
a lot of things
1016
00:38:41,787 --> 00:38:43,489
by a lot of politicians
over the years.
1017
00:38:43,555 --> 00:38:46,024
How many of them
have ever come through for you?
1018
00:38:46,091 --> 00:38:47,559
Not a lot.
1019
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:48,794
You want Arnie Vinick
1020
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:50,362
to listen to you about judges,
1021
00:38:50,429 --> 00:38:53,031
threatening him
isn't gonna work.
1022
00:38:53,098 --> 00:38:56,768
He already told you who
he's going to listen to-- me.
1023
00:38:56,835 --> 00:38:59,004
You already know
what kind of judges I want.
1024
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:00,639
You seen the judges
I've appointed as governor.
1025
00:39:00,706 --> 00:39:02,641
You've approved
every one of them.
1026
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:04,410
Now you got a choice.
1027
00:39:04,476 --> 00:39:06,044
You can cause trouble for us,
1028
00:39:06,111 --> 00:39:08,146
and it'll just help elect
Matt Santos and Leo McGarry,
1029
00:39:08,213 --> 00:39:13,452
or you can be a team player--
the Vinick/Sullivan team.
1030
00:39:13,519 --> 00:39:14,986
And I'll make sure
President Vinick
1031
00:39:15,053 --> 00:39:17,523
listens to you and me
about judges.
1032
00:39:18,924 --> 00:39:20,426
I appreciate you
coming, George.
1033
00:39:20,492 --> 00:39:23,094
I really do.
1034
00:39:23,161 --> 00:39:24,463
If anyone in your group
1035
00:39:24,530 --> 00:39:26,465
has a problem
with the Vinick/Sullivan ticket,
1036
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:28,233
I will sit down with them
anywhere,
1037
00:39:28,299 --> 00:39:31,369
anytime, and
talk it through.
1038
00:39:31,437 --> 00:39:33,439
( laughs gently )
1039
00:39:33,505 --> 00:39:38,510
You know what the worst thing
about the campaign trail is?
1040
00:39:38,577 --> 00:39:40,011
Surprises.
1041
00:39:40,712 --> 00:39:43,314
I don't want any.
1042
00:39:43,381 --> 00:39:45,083
You got that?
1043
00:40:05,070 --> 00:40:06,137
Senator?
1044
00:40:07,305 --> 00:40:08,607
I'm going back to DC tonight.
1045
00:40:08,674 --> 00:40:10,008
What's this?
1046
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:12,010
It's my letter
of resignation.
What?
1047
00:40:12,077 --> 00:40:14,379
Yeah, the letter is to thank you
for everything,
1048
00:40:14,446 --> 00:40:16,281
from when I started
in the mailroom, to...
1049
00:40:16,347 --> 00:40:17,282
What's this about?
1050
00:40:17,348 --> 00:40:20,486
What, problems with Bruno?
1051
00:40:20,552 --> 00:40:22,488
I need to spend
some more time with my family.
1052
00:40:22,554 --> 00:40:23,922
Leon, come on.
1053
00:40:26,525 --> 00:40:28,860
I never thought
it was going to be Santos.
1054
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:30,361
He didn't have a chance
at the nomination.
1055
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:32,698
Now we're three weeks into this
and I can't do it.
1056
00:40:32,764 --> 00:40:34,032
I can't be working
all day and night
1057
00:40:34,099 --> 00:40:36,234
to beat the first
Latino nominee for President.
1058
00:40:36,301 --> 00:40:38,436
And now that we're using
his heritage against him...
1059
00:40:38,504 --> 00:40:40,939
That's not what I'm doing.
I'm talking policy.
1060
00:40:41,006 --> 00:40:43,942
That's fair.
Please, Senator.
1061
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:45,844
I was in the meeting.
1062
00:40:47,345 --> 00:40:50,616
If Santos is afraid to lead
the country on these issues,
1063
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:52,951
then he doesn't deserve
to be President.
1064
00:40:53,018 --> 00:40:56,021
The voters have a right to hear
from the Latino candidate
1065
00:40:56,087 --> 00:40:57,355
about Latino issues.
1066
00:40:57,422 --> 00:40:59,558
He ought to be way out ahead
of me on this stuff.
1067
00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:01,893
The twins
are two and a half now.
1068
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,328
My mother-in-law
just taught them
1069
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:06,464
how to say the word "Santos."
1070
00:41:06,532 --> 00:41:07,766
Someday, they're going
to ask me
1071
00:41:07,833 --> 00:41:10,368
what I did on this campaign.
1072
00:41:10,435 --> 00:41:14,873
I can't tell them I did this.
1073
00:41:14,940 --> 00:41:16,642
Can't do it.
1074
00:41:34,860 --> 00:41:35,994
Ray.
1075
00:41:36,061 --> 00:41:37,996
Hey, Arnie.
1076
00:41:38,063 --> 00:41:40,098
Back up by ten, hmm?
1077
00:41:40,165 --> 00:41:41,633
You're really
sticking it to him.
1078
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:43,034
That border stuff
is killing Santos.
1079
00:41:43,101 --> 00:41:44,435
How did it go
with George Rohr?
1080
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,271
Got him back in his cage
for now.
1081
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:47,606
Promise him anything?
1082
00:41:47,673 --> 00:41:49,541
I'll tell you
after the election.
1083
00:41:49,608 --> 00:41:51,409
EMCEE:
The Houston Police Officer's
Union is proud to welcome
1084
00:41:51,476 --> 00:41:53,211
the next President and Vice
President of the United States--
1085
00:41:53,278 --> 00:41:55,681
Arnold Vinick and Ray Sullivan.
1086
00:41:55,747 --> 00:41:57,515
( applause and cheering )
