1
00:00:07,424 --> 00:00:09,500
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:09,718 --> 00:00:12,423
I always get asked,"What would
be a win in the debates?"
3
00:00:12,596 --> 00:00:15,513
If we don't get elected,
I promise you, President Ritchie...
4
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:18,220
...is gonna have a lot less
sympathy for your agenda.
5
00:00:18,393 --> 00:00:21,430
You're what my friends call
a superior son of a bitch.
6
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,606
- And you can't be trusted.
- Wait till the debates.
7
00:00:24,775 --> 00:00:28,060
- Election's in six weeks, Mr. President.
- Where are we in the vote?
8
00:00:28,237 --> 00:00:31,440
- We're slipping a little bit, sir.
- Are you taking this personally?
9
00:00:31,615 --> 00:00:34,984
We should have a great debate, Rob.
We owe it to everyone.
10
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,069
I know how Ritchie
will win the election.
11
00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:45,252
Affirmative action and quotas
are about two different things.
12
00:00:45,420 --> 00:00:48,920
Affirmative action provides opportunities
people might not otherwise get.
13
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:55,297
You talk about providing opportunity,
but support racial profiling.
14
00:00:55,472 --> 00:00:59,766
- I don't support racial profiling.
- Your nominee for attorney general did.
15
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:02,391
- Can you tell us why you nominated him?
- Why?
16
00:01:02,563 --> 00:01:05,136
- Yes.
- Because bite me, that's why.
17
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:08,400
- It's a legitimate question.
- It's been almost four years, Sam.
18
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:12,697
- How long you wanna say"Told you so"?
- He wasn't saying"I told you so," sir.
19
00:01:12,865 --> 00:01:15,652
- We need an answer on Rooker.
- What's wrong with"bite me"?
20
00:01:15,826 --> 00:01:17,653
- I think we'd lose.
- Not in New Jersey.
21
00:01:17,828 --> 00:01:20,449
"It's never been shown
profiling works. I'm against it."
22
00:01:20,622 --> 00:01:23,030
- That answer's simple.
- We can make it complicated.
23
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:24,584
A lot of people in...
24
00:01:25,794 --> 00:01:27,336
- Do you mind if I...?
- No.
25
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:29,296
She was talking to me, Dexter.
What?
26
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:32,833
Lots of people in law enforcement
believe it helps them do a better job.
27
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:35,252
- Not everyone's against it.
- I'm against it.
28
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,386
So are the voters, but I think what...
29
00:01:37,556 --> 00:01:40,177
- How you doing there, Joey? Kippy?
- Kenny.
30
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:44,430
I think, Mr. President, that what
Congresswoman Wyatt was saying is...
31
00:01:44,855 --> 00:01:48,188
...if we can figure out a way to make
this answer about the drug war...
32
00:01:48,358 --> 00:01:51,146
...we can talk about successes.
- That what you were saying?
33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,561
- Yes.
- Ritchie will bring back the fact...
34
00:01:53,739 --> 00:01:56,360
...you don't know your position on it.
- I do know.
35
00:01:56,533 --> 00:01:59,867
We're losing the question.
It's,"What was the story with Rooker?"
36
00:02:00,037 --> 00:02:03,571
We gave him support until it was clear
an increasingly divided Congress...
37
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:06,703
...would shoot down our nominee.
- We withdrew the nomination.
38
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:11,918
Why not blow past the nomination fight
and give an unambiguous statement...
39
00:02:12,090 --> 00:02:16,420
...in support of law enforcement.
No one's for fairer law enforcement.
40
00:02:16,595 --> 00:02:19,679
- That won't be the question.
- Why not just say we screwed up?
41
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:22,933
"Mr. Rooker is a devoted crime-fighter.
We had our differences.
42
00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:26,845
- But on this, all Americans can agree..."
- Excuse me.
43
00:02:27,022 --> 00:02:29,857
- Were you doing me just then?
- I was offering an answer...
44
00:02:30,025 --> 00:02:32,183
- You were doing me.
- I may have slipped into it.
45
00:02:32,528 --> 00:02:36,359
Anybody else do a pretty good Bartlet?
It's talent night here at debate camp.
46
00:02:36,532 --> 00:02:39,449
- Anybody wanna do a little skit?
- No, sir.
47
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:53,912
Apparently eight
Israeli Thunder fighters...
48
00:02:54,091 --> 00:02:58,753
...also known as American-made
Boeing F-15E Strike Eagles...
49
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:02,843
...have hit two terrorist bases
in the north and south of Qumar.
50
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:07,513
While no Qumari government personnel
or institutions were destroyed...
51
00:03:07,688 --> 00:03:11,222
...Qumar, of course, considers an attack
on its soil to be an act of war.
52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,232
So we are, as always,
one bad bottle of tequila...
53
00:03:15,404 --> 00:03:17,646
...away from all-out war in West Asia.
54
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:22,610
Would you like to take this one
or shall I?
55
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:25,277
Why don't you get this one,
I'll get the next one.
56
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:27,662
- Okay.
- We've got a secure room.
57
00:03:27,875 --> 00:03:32,453
I agreed to be locked up with you for
48 hours. How much time do I have left?
58
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:34,871
Forty-seven hours, 41 minutes.
59
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:29,390
Hutchinson and Berryhill are hooked in,
along with Nancy and Fitzwallace...
60
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:32,479
...and we're still getting Peter.
- Defense Condition 3...
61
00:04:32,648 --> 00:04:34,640
...for the bases in Qumar is what?
- Mike.
62
00:04:34,816 --> 00:04:38,684
It deploys the Independence to the Gulf.
They've got 75 aircraft.
63
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:42,314
- What's happening on the ground?
- AC Striker recon says 30,000 troops...
64
00:04:42,491 --> 00:04:44,982
...are massing at the Syrian border.
- That was fast.
65
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,734
- We're not there.
- We're getting MILSAT confirmation.
66
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:50,746
Ten-hut.
67
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:56,043
You have Secretaries Hutchinson
and Berryhill, Director Kato...
68
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:59,712
...Chairman Fitzwallace and Dr. McNally.
- All right.
69
00:04:59,883 --> 00:05:02,588
Well, we've got ourselves
a Marx Brothers' movie.
70
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:05,548
Sir, it's Ken. On your orderwe'll put CTU on high alert.
71
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:08,973
You have the order.
Oh, Fitz? How you doing?
72
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:11,100
Fine, thank you, sir, and you?
73
00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:13,974
Well, we've made camp
in North Carolina for prep...
74
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:17,065
...so I've been thinking about
killing myself. Let me ask you.
75
00:05:17,234 --> 00:05:19,559
Besides Qumar, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah...
76
00:05:19,736 --> 00:05:22,310
...they've all got
short- And medium-range missiles.
77
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:25,111
If Israel feels threatened by them,
what happens?
78
00:05:25,284 --> 00:05:27,953
-They launch a pre-emptive strike.
- But before that...
79
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,037
...Qumar shows its teeth, right?
Yeah, so what happens then?
80
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:33,697
They'll want something in exchangefor standing down.
81
00:05:33,876 --> 00:05:36,876
For the moment they haven't stood up.
But in the meantime...
82
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:40,995
...let's think of something to give them.
- We should do that in the meantime?
83
00:05:41,175 --> 00:05:43,167
We should think of something
to give them?
84
00:05:43,343 --> 00:05:46,344
Can we not fight
in front of the Joint Chiefs?
85
00:05:46,513 --> 00:05:49,004
It just scares the hell out of them.
86
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:53,309
- Yes.
- Would you put our bases in Qumar...
87
00:05:53,478 --> 00:05:57,227
...at Defense Condition 3
and put the U.S. military at DEFCON-4.
88
00:05:57,399 --> 00:06:00,020
-Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
89
00:06:04,865 --> 00:06:07,534
Andy? Couple of things.
90
00:06:07,701 --> 00:06:10,737
I need you to look at a couple
of answers on defense readiness.
91
00:06:10,913 --> 00:06:14,079
I need concrete examples of waste
in Pentagon procurement.
92
00:06:14,249 --> 00:06:17,369
We need two more members
of the IRC for post-spin.
93
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:22,206
Fill out this marriage license and
paperwork for a joint checking account.
94
00:06:22,382 --> 00:06:25,087
And review the 60-second answer
on Rwanda.
95
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:27,420
Okay. Okay. Okay.
96
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:30,680
Under no circumstances.
And, sure.
97
00:06:30,849 --> 00:06:34,764
By my count, you said"Under no
circumstances" to the IRC post-spin...
98
00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:37,475
I said"under no circumstances"
to marrying you again.
99
00:06:37,648 --> 00:06:41,064
- May I ask why?
- I have the experience of having done it.
100
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:43,773
- Well...
- I have to get to the things you gave me.
101
00:06:43,946 --> 00:06:46,318
A person's running for president.
102
00:06:48,534 --> 00:06:52,068
- Hey.
- Hey. That was good, Sam.
103
00:06:52,246 --> 00:06:55,946
- Stay up in his face, don't back off.
- You wanna shoot for two minutes?
104
00:06:56,124 --> 00:06:58,912
- Yeah.
- He's right, don't back off.
105
00:06:59,086 --> 00:07:00,628
- What's up with Andy?
- Nothing.
106
00:07:00,796 --> 00:07:03,465
I think you're wrong
and you're getting back together.
107
00:07:03,632 --> 00:07:05,126
- We're not.
- But you want to.
108
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,672
- Yes.
- I think... Wait, what?
109
00:07:07,845 --> 00:07:11,095
See, sometimes if I slam on the brakes
you just run right past.
110
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:14,135
Fill us in on everything so far
between the two of you.
111
00:07:14,309 --> 00:07:16,551
Yeah. That's what's
gonna happen right now.
112
00:07:16,728 --> 00:07:18,935
- If you do...
- You gonna stay up in his face?
113
00:07:19,106 --> 00:07:20,730
- Did you hear me say I would?
- No.
114
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:22,643
Well, I will.
115
00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:26,567
Listen, let me tell you something.
What I said wasn't personal.
116
00:07:26,738 --> 00:07:28,565
- Who said it was?
- He did.
117
00:07:28,740 --> 00:07:32,109
He said it's been years, when will I
stop saying"I told you so"...
118
00:07:32,286 --> 00:07:34,362
...and that wasn't... I was...
119
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:38,121
Let's say we were new, we made
mistakes. We'd just gotten to the...
120
00:07:38,292 --> 00:07:41,246
We weren't even in the White House
when we heard Rooker...
121
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:44,836
- It was, like, January 5th.
- It was the 15th.
122
00:07:45,007 --> 00:07:46,880
It was January 15th.
123
00:07:47,050 --> 00:07:49,126
-How do you remember? -I just do.
124
00:07:49,303 --> 00:07:52,173
Cornell Rooker's gonna be
the attorney general.
125
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:56,174
He's on the phone
with the governor right now.
126
00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:58,842
- We're settled on that?
- Yes. It's Cornell Rooker...
127
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:02,888
...if he's on the phone saying yes.
If he's saying no, it'll be somebody else.
128
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:04,940
- Well analyzed.
- I thought there'd be...
129
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:07,518
...more conversations about
the conservative tendencies.
130
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:09,274
- Like privacy?
- Yeah.
131
00:08:09,448 --> 00:08:12,864
He's a Democrat with a record
the right wing can't complain about.
132
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:15,989
- Josh, I'm looking for Donna.
- Donna's at the White House.
133
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:18,158
- She's at the White House?
- Yes.
134
00:08:18,332 --> 00:08:21,498
- The old tenants are there.
- Her predecessor's taking her out.
135
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:25,880
The assistant to Mack McConnell,
assistant to the Deputy C.O.S.
136
00:08:26,048 --> 00:08:28,005
Nobody did that with me.
137
00:08:28,175 --> 00:08:31,674
- Anybody do that with you?
- He's who Judiciary calls...
138
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:35,261
...when they wanna put a stamp on,
and has a record conservatives like.
139
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:39,726
Our opponent had a record conservatives
can't complain about, but he lost.
140
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:42,018
- Excuse me, Mr. Ziegler?
- Yeah?
141
00:08:42,189 --> 00:08:45,688
Congresswoman Wyatt is here in person
and she's asking to see you.
142
00:08:45,984 --> 00:08:47,479
Yeah.
143
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,861
Congresswoman Wyatt
is also Mrs. Ziegler. Just...
144
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,154
- I'll be right out.
- Yes, sir.
145
00:08:54,493 --> 00:08:58,076
- You think we'll get hit from the left?
- I do. Look...
146
00:08:58,247 --> 00:09:00,702
- He gets a honeymoon.
- You're missing my point.
147
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:02,666
- What?
- I think he'll be confirmed.
148
00:09:02,835 --> 00:09:04,993
We might even get
the honeymoon from the left.
149
00:09:05,170 --> 00:09:07,377
- But?
- I'm not sure he's the right guy.
150
00:09:09,258 --> 00:09:11,381
We got Rooker.
151
00:09:15,013 --> 00:09:16,923
- Donna?
- Yeah.
152
00:09:17,099 --> 00:09:19,590
Jeff Johnson. Come on back.
153
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:22,685
This was incredibly nice of you.
154
00:09:22,855 --> 00:09:27,647
The guy before did it for me. Maybe you
will do it for someone else in four years.
155
00:09:27,818 --> 00:09:30,688
- Eight years.
- Whatever.
156
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:34,148
- Is this where I'll be working?
- Who knows.
157
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:38,322
The White House re-invents itself every
administration. It's never the same.
158
00:09:38,495 --> 00:09:41,911
There are things that won't be
in your briefing. Wanna hear them?
159
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,834
- Sure.
- Never wear your badge off-campus.
160
00:09:45,002 --> 00:09:49,165
It's like wearing a bull's-eye. Don't let
your kids get mail out of the mailbox.
161
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:51,462
You don't know what separatist
sent you mail.
162
00:09:51,633 --> 00:09:53,341
- I don't have kids.
- Good.
163
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,918
There are days you'll need
to be here at 8...
164
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:58,385
...and not go home till 6 or 7.
165
00:09:58,557 --> 00:10:00,348
What else?
166
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:03,431
The iodine tablets, some people
take them, some don't.
167
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:07,055
I did, but you can ask your doctor.
168
00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:10,226
What's the iodine for?
169
00:10:10,402 --> 00:10:13,023
It protects your thyroid
from the radiation.
170
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:17,614
- Why is there radiation?
- There's an XW-9 warhead...
171
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:20,738
...in a silo 93 feet below
the Eisenhower Putting Green.
172
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:25,162
They say it's not enough radiation to
hurt you, but you wanna take chances...
173
00:10:25,334 --> 00:10:29,462
...with something like that?
- Really. Wow. God, no.
174
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:32,796
Listen, before I forget,
I've gotta hit you up for a favor.
175
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:36,466
My girlfriend's a stringer for a
teen magazine, it's called Twenty-one.
176
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:40,504
With all the young people coming in,
they wanna do a story, and...
177
00:10:40,682 --> 00:10:44,846
...with the way you look... Any chance
she could get a 10-minute phoner?
178
00:10:45,020 --> 00:10:47,143
No problem, you can
give her the number.
179
00:10:47,314 --> 00:10:49,770
You ready for lunch?
Where to?
180
00:10:49,942 --> 00:10:53,856
- You tell me. I don't know anything.
- Okay.
181
00:10:58,492 --> 00:11:01,113
- Everything okay?
- I couldn't get you on your phone...
182
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:04,821
...and I was on the tenth floor.
They need another sample.
183
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,198
- Why?
- There was a blackout in Alexandria...
184
00:11:07,376 --> 00:11:11,041
...and the incubator
was without power for 45 minutes.
185
00:11:12,256 --> 00:11:15,173
We maybe talk about this over here?
186
00:11:17,636 --> 00:11:20,257
- A blackout in Alexandria?
- It's a cab ride.
187
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:24,262
- You're in, you're out, no sweat.
- No, it's not no sweat.
188
00:11:24,434 --> 00:11:26,308
In fact, it's a little bit gruesome.
189
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,561
- It's gruesome?
- It's something.
190
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:32,935
You get off on the fourth floor,
which is clearly marked...
191
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:36,942
...for all the other elevator passengers
to read that it's the fertility clinic.
192
00:11:37,406 --> 00:11:41,783
You try to show with body language
that it's not you, and that's impossible.
193
00:11:41,952 --> 00:11:46,495
An 84-year-old Welsh nurse hands you
a paper bag with a cup and a video...
194
00:11:46,665 --> 00:11:49,915
...and points the way toward a room.
I won't even tell you the name.
195
00:11:50,085 --> 00:11:53,454
- What's the name?
- It's not a good out-loud word.
196
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:59,340
You take the longest walk of your life
back to the Welsh nurse...
197
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:02,714
...who takes the cup out of the bag
and says,"Very nice."
198
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:05,594
I need you to do this now.
There is a timing thing.
199
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:07,807
Can it wait until next week because...?
200
00:12:07,978 --> 00:12:10,434
It's January 15th, Andy.
I can't have a baby today.
201
00:12:13,483 --> 00:12:17,612
He's getting sworn in in five days.
I'm not saying never. Can we...
202
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:21,065
...wait five days?
- Sure.
203
00:12:23,994 --> 00:12:25,868
How's it going?
204
00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:29,244
Rooker's gonna be the AG.
205
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:33,789
Mr. Ziegler!
206
00:12:34,296 --> 00:12:36,752
- Yeah?
- Sorry for shouting. Joey's ready.
207
00:12:36,924 --> 00:12:40,340
- I'm sorry?
- Electoral math.
208
00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:53,226
When do you suppose Georgia
got so far out of reach?
209
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,891
- Was it because we burned it down?
- I was gonna say.
210
00:12:58,070 --> 00:13:00,561
Okay, let's start.
211
00:13:00,989 --> 00:13:04,275
I'm taking Ohio out of the red
and putting it back in play.
212
00:13:06,078 --> 00:13:09,328
- How much money to win there?
- A lot more than we have there.
213
00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:15,252
We're on the air in 18 of the top 25.
There's no new money to spend on this...
214
00:13:15,462 --> 00:13:18,831
I'm gonna stop you there.
Joey, I can't go to him with it.
215
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:22,211
- Let me go to him with it. Let Bruno.
- No, I'm with Toby.
216
00:13:22,386 --> 00:13:25,422
You don't know how the president
feels about his home state.
217
00:13:25,597 --> 00:13:28,847
He's a New Hampshire Bartlet.
It's been home for centuries.
218
00:13:29,017 --> 00:13:32,433
He's a Democrat elected
to the statehouse with close to 60%.
219
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:35,095
The fact the state's in play
is embarrassing for him.
220
00:13:35,315 --> 00:13:38,684
He doesn't wanna campaign there,
because that's embarrassing too, but...
221
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:42,189
I'm trying to tell you
it's not in play anymore.
222
00:13:44,074 --> 00:13:45,901
If you asked the president...
223
00:13:46,076 --> 00:13:48,828
...which he'd rather win,
New Hampshire or the election...
224
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:53,622
...he'd have to think before answering.
Put a pin in it. We'll come back.
225
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,461
President Bartlet, the next question 's to you.
226
00:14:01,717 --> 00:14:04,671
Ritchie contends there's a crisis
in the American family.
227
00:14:04,845 --> 00:14:07,134
That parents aren't
spending time with kids.
228
00:14:07,306 --> 00:14:09,594
- We're trying this again, sorry.
- Yeah.
229
00:14:09,766 --> 00:14:13,811
And that your solution is essentially
to have government raise children.
230
00:14:13,979 --> 00:14:17,478
Well, that's an extraordinary and
unsurprisingly dumb interpretation...
231
00:14:17,649 --> 00:14:20,223
...of what my administration
is trying to accomplish.
232
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:25,447
It's hard enough to raise kids
with help from Family Leave...
233
00:14:25,616 --> 00:14:28,533
...subsidized daycare, preschool.
We need more, not less.
234
00:14:28,702 --> 00:14:31,869
The government can't raise kids,
Mr. President, parents have to.
235
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:36,036
I have three grown daughters. You
wanna tell me how to raise my family?
236
00:14:36,210 --> 00:14:39,543
You comfortable with that? You wanna
tell other fathers and mothers...
237
00:14:39,713 --> 00:14:41,919
...what they're doing wrong?
I didn't think so.
238
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:45,459
Let's stick to what government can do,
which is collect money...
239
00:14:45,636 --> 00:14:48,387
...and stop wasting time
by sentimentalizing families.
240
00:14:48,555 --> 00:14:50,215
That's not good, sir.
241
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:54,435
We lost every stay-at-home-mom vote
and their husbands who are henpecked.
242
00:14:54,603 --> 00:14:58,387
- Who are you now?
- I like the aggressive answer, it's right.
243
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:02,397
We're letting Ritchie put him
on the opposite side of values.
244
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:05,938
The question was,
"What do I have against families?"
245
00:15:06,114 --> 00:15:09,863
And the answer is
"I have nothing against them at all."
246
00:15:10,035 --> 00:15:12,324
We have to put him
on the right side of this.
247
00:15:12,496 --> 00:15:16,031
He is on the right side of this.
We need help with the answer.
248
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:20,087
You're asking me to do that
which I don't wanna do.
249
00:15:20,254 --> 00:15:22,246
- Yes.
- Okay.
250
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:24,581
I have a press briefing.
251
00:15:29,263 --> 00:15:31,172
Good afternoon.
252
00:15:31,348 --> 00:15:34,349
Today is January 22nd.
253
00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:39,555
Let me brief you on the president's
morning schedule. He started with...
254
00:15:39,731 --> 00:15:41,689
- How's that?
- Good.
255
00:15:44,528 --> 00:15:47,233
- You don't care.
- No.
256
00:15:47,406 --> 00:15:51,273
- I've got boxes to unload.
- I'm gonna stay here and practice.
257
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:55,866
"No, David, the president
was very clear about that."
258
00:15:56,039 --> 00:15:58,079
"Mark, then Katie."
259
00:15:59,084 --> 00:16:02,370
Mark, Katie, Jessie, Phil, Steve,
Betsy, Julie, Julie, Julia...
260
00:16:02,546 --> 00:16:06,081
...Kevin, Paul, Tom, Sondra, Suzanne...
261
00:16:06,258 --> 00:16:08,630
...Mike, Danny...
262
00:16:08,802 --> 00:16:10,629
...Elizabeth.
263
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:13,681
Eighteenth seat. Eighteen you can vote.
264
00:16:13,849 --> 00:16:16,470
Vote sounds like moat,
which is a trench. Trent.
265
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,970
- Excuse me, C.J.?
- Yeah.
266
00:16:19,146 --> 00:16:21,518
Bill Stark, I'm with Kingspeak.
267
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:24,857
We're a magazine that reaches over
600,000 Christian evangelicals.
268
00:16:25,027 --> 00:16:28,609
- I heard your first briefing went well.
- I can do better.
269
00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,450
I wanted to tell you
that on December 10th...
270
00:16:31,617 --> 00:16:34,190
...all 600,000 will be praying for you.
271
00:16:34,369 --> 00:16:36,991
- Really?
- That's right.
272
00:16:37,164 --> 00:16:39,916
- I don't understand.
- Well, once a year...
273
00:16:40,083 --> 00:16:45,458
...we identify the 365
most influential people in media...
274
00:16:45,631 --> 00:16:49,794
...and we assign each of them
a calendar day and we pray for them.
275
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:57,801
I really don't know what to say
in response to that sort of kindness.
276
00:16:57,976 --> 00:17:02,472
Well, maybe the administration will
reconsider their position on some issues.
277
00:17:02,648 --> 00:17:04,439
Like what?
278
00:17:05,192 --> 00:17:07,101
School prayer?
279
00:17:07,277 --> 00:17:11,026
- The president's made up his mind.
- Millions of Americans want it.
280
00:17:11,198 --> 00:17:14,898
- There are a lot of votes there.
- We got as many as we needed for now.
281
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:18,994
- Just wanted to say hi.
- I'll see you around.
282
00:17:19,957 --> 00:17:22,993
By the way, just so you don't think
we disagree on everything...
283
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:25,457
...I think Cornell Rooker is terrific.
- Really?
284
00:17:25,629 --> 00:17:28,085
We served on the city council together.
285
00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:32,919
First African-American man I've ever
heard make sense on racial profiling.
286
00:17:38,225 --> 00:17:39,553
Look at this.
287
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:42,562
Leonardo da Vinci.
Madonna and Child With a Pomegranate.
288
00:17:42,729 --> 00:17:44,437
It's nice.
289
00:17:44,773 --> 00:17:48,687
- Here's Botticelli. Adoration of the Magi.
- What are we doing right now?
290
00:17:48,861 --> 00:17:51,352
Choosing pictures
from the National Gallery.
291
00:17:51,530 --> 00:17:55,362
- They'll loan stuff?
- Anything in the Gallery or Smithsonian.
292
00:17:55,534 --> 00:17:58,025
Really? I want Apollo 11.
293
00:17:58,203 --> 00:18:00,279
- You can't have that.
- Then don't bother me.
294
00:18:00,455 --> 00:18:04,749
I'm meeting with the leadership.
I'm signing six executive orders I don't...
295
00:18:06,170 --> 00:18:08,874
- Mr. President.
- God, I thought that was a closet.
296
00:18:09,173 --> 00:18:13,751
- That's my office.
- The room's got four doors, it's huge.
297
00:18:14,011 --> 00:18:17,427
- I wanna run through these orders.
- Do you understand them?
298
00:18:17,598 --> 00:18:20,053
- Not quite yet.
- C.J., what are you doing?
299
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:22,883
I'm sorry, sir. I just wanted to see Leo.
300
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:25,683
- He's standing right there.
- Yeah.
301
00:18:25,856 --> 00:18:29,806
Would you get your ass in here?
Could everyone stop acting strange?
302
00:18:29,985 --> 00:18:31,812
What's up?
303
00:18:33,197 --> 00:18:36,862
A reporter for a conservative
Christian magazine...
304
00:18:37,034 --> 00:18:40,153
...mentioned that he served
on a city council with Rooker...
305
00:18:40,329 --> 00:18:42,867
...which is true, it was in Miami.
- Yeah.
306
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,206
The reporter said he liked
Rooker's position on racial profiling.
307
00:18:46,376 --> 00:18:50,077
- That's strange.
- No, it's not. We found the transcript.
308
00:18:50,255 --> 00:18:53,838
"I'm not saying it should be active policy
but there is no question that...
309
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:57,876
...in certain situations,
racial profiling can be helpful to law..."
310
00:18:58,055 --> 00:19:00,343
- Law enforcement?
- Yeah.
311
00:19:01,433 --> 00:19:04,304
- How do you think it's going so far?
- We'll get into it.
312
00:19:06,271 --> 00:19:07,647
Yes.
313
00:19:12,653 --> 00:19:15,737
And down the stretch, here she comes.
Here comes Gardner.
314
00:19:15,906 --> 00:19:17,815
She's gonna take the yellow jersey...
315
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:21,360
...past the picturesque farms
and hillsides of the Champs d' Leamps...
316
00:19:21,537 --> 00:19:25,155
...from the white cliffs of Dover.
Where do the Americans find this spirit?
317
00:19:25,332 --> 00:19:27,870
Her cell phone's ringing now.
Probably be a sponsor.
318
00:19:28,043 --> 00:19:29,917
- Hello.
- It's Josh.
319
00:19:30,087 --> 00:19:31,415
Hello.
320
00:19:31,588 --> 00:19:34,423
- You're breathing very hard.
-I'm riding.
321
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:36,465
- Then what are you doing?
-Later?
322
00:19:36,635 --> 00:19:39,387
I'm having dinner with Peter Harlow.
323
00:19:39,555 --> 00:19:41,097
How's Peter's wife?
324
00:19:41,974 --> 00:19:45,307
- They're separated.
-Yes, I know.
325
00:19:45,561 --> 00:19:48,099
- What do you need?
- How do we stand strong...
326
00:19:48,272 --> 00:19:50,348
...for the modern family
with all its quirks...
327
00:19:50,524 --> 00:19:54,522
...and not seem like we're
dissing everyone born before 1962?
328
00:19:54,695 --> 00:19:56,522
- By doing it.
-Can I call you back?
329
00:19:56,697 --> 00:19:59,022
-You'll think about it?
- Yeah.
330
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:00,777
Thank you.
331
00:20:07,249 --> 00:20:08,909
- You're going to this meeting?
- Yes.
332
00:20:09,084 --> 00:20:13,296
- WW-160. You been able to find it?
- I don't know where I am right now.
333
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:17,129
- I'm looking on this side again.
- You mind if I talk to you while we walk?
334
00:20:17,301 --> 00:20:21,250
Well, we may as well get used to having
meetings in corridors from now on.
335
00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:24,181
I now know why they made
the Oval Office a special shape.
336
00:20:24,349 --> 00:20:29,142
Six new editorials.
NAACP, the Urban League, La Raza...
337
00:20:29,313 --> 00:20:31,720
NAACP doesn't wanna see
a black attorney general?
338
00:20:31,899 --> 00:20:34,390
I think they do, but they also stand
for the ones...
339
00:20:34,568 --> 00:20:37,771
...who get pulled over
for having too nice a car.
340
00:20:38,113 --> 00:20:41,067
- Intergovernmental's also...
- I'm talking to Intergovernmental.
341
00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:44,112
Does anybody know where WW-160 is?
342
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:49,281
Hi, I'm Josh Lyman, you all work for me.
Does anybody know where WW-160 is?
343
00:20:49,458 --> 00:20:51,332
I haven't seen it.
344
00:20:51,502 --> 00:20:55,120
That one hasn't seen it.
She's keeping an eye out, though.
345
00:20:55,672 --> 00:20:57,998
I don't think he's gonna be confirmed.
346
00:20:58,175 --> 00:21:01,544
I think the first thing is we're gonna
lose a confirmation battle...
347
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,932
...spend the next four years
with two outs and a full count.
348
00:21:06,099 --> 00:21:10,596
If we pull him out now, it's a story for a
day until we announce the next guy.
349
00:21:10,771 --> 00:21:14,555
- If we wait a week...
- This is the guy. This is the story.
350
00:21:14,733 --> 00:21:16,358
Good.
351
00:21:17,027 --> 00:21:19,518
Because you know why?
Hubris always wins in the end.
352
00:21:19,696 --> 00:21:21,985
The Greeks taught us that.
353
00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:27,194
- We were looking for West Wing 160.
- I think it's in the Kremlin.
354
00:21:27,371 --> 00:21:31,203
- Let's just meet here.
- Leo, this is a strong, deserving nominee.
355
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:33,866
Sam, it's not hubris.
He should be attorney general.
356
00:21:34,044 --> 00:21:36,333
But he won't be,
so let's take it from there.
357
00:21:36,505 --> 00:21:40,123
- The president doesn't wanna give it up.
- Let's line up people for I.P.
358
00:21:40,300 --> 00:21:42,970
"Rooker has an exceptional record
as a U.S. attorney.
359
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:45,592
A leader in fighting
employment discrimination.
360
00:21:45,764 --> 00:21:48,967
Was college chair of..."
"He's tough on crime, fair on justice."
361
00:21:49,142 --> 00:21:52,761
That's the line, say that.
Do not say that. What the hell is that?
362
00:21:52,938 --> 00:21:56,271
"He's tough on crime, fair on justice,"
sings a song, has a mustache?
363
00:21:56,441 --> 00:21:58,897
- What's that supposed to...?
- Toby's gone to the zoo.
364
00:21:59,069 --> 00:22:01,821
We may have killed these two guys
with the inauguration.
365
00:22:01,989 --> 00:22:05,938
I beseech you. Let me take a pass at
some remarks the president can make...
366
00:22:06,118 --> 00:22:09,950
...withdrawing the nomination. We're
gonna do it anyway, let's do it now.
367
00:22:10,122 --> 00:22:13,705
"Take a thorough look at
Cornell Rooker's record, you'll see...
368
00:22:13,876 --> 00:22:16,034
...he's fought for justice
his entire career."
369
00:22:16,211 --> 00:22:20,375
"If you look at his record, he's fought
for justice his entire career."
370
00:22:20,549 --> 00:22:22,423
I wanna read that quote tomorrow.
371
00:22:22,843 --> 00:22:24,634
- Anything else?
- No.
372
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:26,132
Thank you.
373
00:22:27,472 --> 00:22:30,723
Hey. I don't think there is a WW-160.
374
00:22:30,893 --> 00:22:33,514
Yeah, hey. How do you do?
375
00:22:33,687 --> 00:22:35,181
- What?
- Guess what I have here.
376
00:22:35,355 --> 00:22:39,056
It's a copy of Twenty-one magazine.
It's for Generation Now.
377
00:22:39,234 --> 00:22:41,310
Is my thing in there?
378
00:22:41,737 --> 00:22:43,065
What?
379
00:22:43,238 --> 00:22:47,188
"In sleek Selia Yang slacks
and DKNY button-down...
380
00:22:47,367 --> 00:22:49,443
...she's not afraid to bring a note of:
381
00:22:49,620 --> 00:22:51,529
'Let's drink after work' to the office."
382
00:22:51,705 --> 00:22:53,863
That's untrue,
but I do like the sound of it.
383
00:22:54,041 --> 00:22:58,703
"But much as we love her style,
we worry about her inexperience...
384
00:22:58,879 --> 00:23:02,711
...and Bambi-esque naďveté.
'There's so much to learn, ' says Moss.
385
00:23:02,883 --> 00:23:06,418
'I didn't even know there was
a nuclear missile silo under this place. '"
386
00:23:07,930 --> 00:23:11,512
- Who told you that?
- Jeff, when I met him for lunch.
387
00:23:12,267 --> 00:23:15,850
Let me take a guess at something.
Jeff set you up with the reporter, right?
388
00:23:16,021 --> 00:23:18,144
- His girlfriend.
- You didn't bring this up?
389
00:23:18,315 --> 00:23:20,888
The girlfriend led you there?
390
00:23:22,361 --> 00:23:25,527
- Bambi-esque?
- As does pertain to Bambi.
391
00:23:25,697 --> 00:23:29,742
There's a reason why we keep these
missile silos in the middle of nowhere.
392
00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:32,745
It's because they're working
with some nasty materials.
393
00:23:32,913 --> 00:23:36,364
Also, there's not much point in
keeping nuclear secrets from China...
394
00:23:36,542 --> 00:23:39,079
...when all they have to do
is take the free tour.
395
00:23:39,253 --> 00:23:43,001
Did it sound right when he said it?
What'd you think, we go to war...
396
00:23:43,173 --> 00:23:46,708
...and Hercules rockets
come flying out of the Rose Garden?
397
00:23:46,885 --> 00:23:49,174
- The Eisenhower Putting Green.
- Oh, my God!
398
00:23:49,346 --> 00:23:50,674
I'm too stupid to live!
399
00:23:50,848 --> 00:23:53,303
This is like when I was
in Li'I Abner in 8th grade...
400
00:23:53,475 --> 00:23:57,093
...and rehearsals are going fine, and
suddenly there's sets and costumes...
401
00:23:57,271 --> 00:23:59,310
...and everyone's tripping
over themselves.
402
00:23:59,481 --> 00:24:02,316
You walked into the building
and got freaked by the lights.
403
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:04,940
I walked in and, you know,
something else happened.
404
00:24:05,112 --> 00:24:08,029
- We can't all be you.
- You can all try a little harder to be.
405
00:24:08,198 --> 00:24:10,487
For sure I'm not taking
the iodine tablets.
406
00:24:11,702 --> 00:24:14,489
I should be sitting at my desk.
Do I have a desk yet?
407
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:16,454
- No.
- Okay.
408
00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:18,830
Then I'll just walk around some more.
409
00:24:19,001 --> 00:24:21,752
See if I can get into a pickup meeting.
410
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,379
- Toby?
- Yeah?
411
00:24:23,547 --> 00:24:25,421
- You going to dinner?
- Yeah.
412
00:24:27,092 --> 00:24:29,500
I'm a bad friend.
I should've been there for you.
413
00:24:29,678 --> 00:24:32,964
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Josh and Sam talked to me.
414
00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:36,141
I'm onboard with Team Toby.
415
00:24:36,351 --> 00:24:39,388
See, I lent voice to thought
and that was my mistake.
416
00:24:39,563 --> 00:24:42,136
If you wanna marry Andy,
then damn it, so do I.
417
00:24:42,316 --> 00:24:45,020
- Want that to happen for you.
- I get it.
418
00:24:45,194 --> 00:24:49,108
- Do you? Because this is about love.
- I think you have a different motivation.
419
00:24:49,281 --> 00:24:51,274
- Laughs?
- Yes.
420
00:24:51,450 --> 00:24:56,361
Sure, but also as much love really
as either one of us are comfortable with.
421
00:24:56,538 --> 00:25:00,121
Well, let me start here:
Have you asked her?
422
00:25:00,292 --> 00:25:03,209
- Yes.
- And she said no?
423
00:25:04,046 --> 00:25:06,584
This is excruciating.
424
00:25:07,216 --> 00:25:11,463
You'll give me your white blood cells.
Not all of them, but as many as I want.
425
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:14,252
- Why?
- Because you love me.
426
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:19,849
No, what's the matter
with your white blood cells?
427
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:23,270
Nothing. It's my immune system.
428
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,189
It's not recognizing that a pregnancy
isn't something it's supposed to attack.
429
00:25:27,361 --> 00:25:31,228
So they draw blood from you
like a rabid dog...
430
00:25:31,406 --> 00:25:33,198
...clean it, thank goodness...
431
00:25:33,367 --> 00:25:36,783
...and give me injections of your
blood cells to build up tolerance.
432
00:25:37,871 --> 00:25:41,240
You know how you're always saying
you wish people were more like you?
433
00:25:42,876 --> 00:25:47,123
- The guy's had a lot of success.
- It sounds like something we should try.
434
00:25:48,257 --> 00:25:52,753
But let me ask you something...
And bear in mind that I'm happy.
435
00:25:52,928 --> 00:25:58,053
I'm eager to go to as many doctors
as there are...
436
00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:02,386
...but should we talk about
a stop date?
437
00:26:06,441 --> 00:26:09,857
- You mean, talk about adoption?
- Yeah, we can talk about adopting.
438
00:26:10,028 --> 00:26:12,519
- You meant a"stop date" stop date.
- I meant adopting.
439
00:26:12,698 --> 00:26:16,149
I meant surrogacy.
And, yes, I love kids.
440
00:26:16,326 --> 00:26:18,782
And I want them
and I don't have to have them.
441
00:26:18,954 --> 00:26:20,282
I want them.
442
00:26:22,708 --> 00:26:24,581
And I'm there.
443
00:26:32,050 --> 00:26:33,379
Okay.
444
00:26:39,391 --> 00:26:41,680
- You're getting killed on Rooker.
- No kidding.
445
00:26:45,397 --> 00:26:46,725
- Hey, C.J.
- Is he in there?
446
00:26:46,899 --> 00:26:50,433
- Yeah. Is anything wrong?
- No.
447
00:26:53,655 --> 00:26:57,155
- There's a problem.
- I just said a stupid thing.
448
00:26:58,243 --> 00:27:00,200
What's the problem?
449
00:27:01,455 --> 00:27:05,038
I did a one-on-one with Danny
Concanon a few days ago on Rooker.
450
00:27:05,834 --> 00:27:08,919
Did you say,"If you take a
look at Cornell Rooker's record"...
451
00:27:09,087 --> 00:27:10,795
Yes, as a matter of fact. He did.
452
00:27:10,964 --> 00:27:13,751
- Oh, man.
- A DUI got fixed in law school.
453
00:27:13,926 --> 00:27:16,167
He doesn't want to write about that
so much...
454
00:27:16,345 --> 00:27:18,468
...as about us being the
Capital Clampetts.
455
00:27:20,766 --> 00:27:24,929
- What was the stupid thing you said?
- It doesn't matter. Let's fix this.
456
00:27:50,087 --> 00:27:52,792
- What was that?
- It's an old camp song.
457
00:27:54,758 --> 00:27:57,331
- What's it mean?
-"Let us be merry, therefore...
458
00:27:57,636 --> 00:28:01,337
...while we are young men.
After the joys of youth...
459
00:28:01,515 --> 00:28:03,638
...after the pains of old age...
460
00:28:03,809 --> 00:28:06,347
...the ground will have us."
461
00:28:06,770 --> 00:28:08,514
True.
462
00:28:11,608 --> 00:28:13,517
How can I get you onboard with me?
463
00:28:13,694 --> 00:28:15,485
- New Hampshire?
- Yeah.
464
00:28:15,654 --> 00:28:18,227
- By coming out with me.
- On what?
465
00:28:18,407 --> 00:28:21,657
The president must spend more time in
congressional districts. We won't win.
466
00:28:21,827 --> 00:28:25,777
- Why would he spend time in districts...?
- To build Democratic momentum...
467
00:28:25,956 --> 00:28:28,494
...in the very places
we traditionally tank.
468
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:31,288
We're running weak candidates
in these districts.
469
00:28:31,461 --> 00:28:33,952
The Tennessee 7th.
Horton Wilde in Orange County...
470
00:28:34,131 --> 00:28:38,342
...is in the hospital with a heart attack.
Who knows when he'll campaign again?
471
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,552
I can't make a pitch about
putting resources in the right places...
472
00:28:43,724 --> 00:28:47,175
...and then advocate sending
the president to districts...
473
00:28:47,352 --> 00:28:50,602
...where the last Democrat won
by railing against Abraham Lincoln.
474
00:28:50,772 --> 00:28:52,682
That's a reasonable point.
475
00:28:52,858 --> 00:28:54,815
- Will you help me?
- Yeah.
476
00:28:57,988 --> 00:29:00,194
I have to say, you look good.
477
00:29:00,365 --> 00:29:01,741
Thank you.
478
00:29:01,909 --> 00:29:05,360
I don't remember you looking
this good. Is something different?
479
00:29:05,662 --> 00:29:09,612
I don't know, the autumnal equinox
is usually good to me.
480
00:29:10,417 --> 00:29:12,825
I think that's your cell phone
that's been ringing.
481
00:29:13,921 --> 00:29:16,246
Yes, excuse me.
482
00:29:20,177 --> 00:29:22,383
- Hello?
-Hey.
483
00:29:22,804 --> 00:29:24,464
- Hello.
-You on your date?
484
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,098
Well, I wouldn't call it that.
485
00:29:26,266 --> 00:29:29,884
You don't wanna let him know it's me
on the phone, it's too intimidating.
486
00:29:30,062 --> 00:29:32,434
It's like going out with Cher
and Sonny calls.
487
00:29:32,606 --> 00:29:34,314
- How can I help you?
- Any thoughts?
488
00:29:34,483 --> 00:29:37,400
Yes. Ritchie's right.
There's a family crisis in America.
489
00:29:37,569 --> 00:29:41,021
So a radical feminist is saying
women should stay home with the kids?
490
00:29:41,198 --> 00:29:43,985
First of all, I don 't thinkI'm a radical anything.
491
00:29:44,159 --> 00:29:47,196
Second of all, who said women
should stay home? And third is...
492
00:29:47,371 --> 00:29:51,155
...the capitalist treadmill encourages
scheduling quality time on a Palm Pilot.
493
00:29:51,333 --> 00:29:53,409
That's not how they do it in Scandinavia.
494
00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:55,827
But everybody kills themselves
in Scandinavia.
495
00:29:56,588 --> 00:29:57,917
That's hard to deny.
496
00:29:58,090 --> 00:30:00,497
We must defend our accomplishments
on work and family...
497
00:30:00,676 --> 00:30:03,345
... many of which you pushed for, and show that we get...
498
00:30:03,512 --> 00:30:06,881
...what working parents are
going through. Can you help us?
499
00:30:07,057 --> 00:30:08,468
- Yes.
- I'll call back.
500
00:30:08,642 --> 00:30:10,516
What would be a really bad time?
501
00:30:10,686 --> 00:30:12,809
Oh, really, anytime.
502
00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:15,056
Outstanding.
503
00:30:15,732 --> 00:30:17,061
Josh?
504
00:30:17,234 --> 00:30:20,021
- Yeah?
- Mr. Michael Gordon is here to see you.
505
00:30:20,195 --> 00:30:23,030
- Does he have an appointment?
- No, he's with the NSA.
506
00:30:23,198 --> 00:30:24,776
- NSA?
- Yeah.
507
00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:26,859
Send him in.
508
00:30:28,579 --> 00:30:30,986
Mr. Lyman. Michael Gordon.
509
00:30:31,164 --> 00:30:32,991
Donna says you're with the NSA.
510
00:30:33,166 --> 00:30:34,993
I'm not here to bug your office.
511
00:30:35,169 --> 00:30:37,457
Yeah, but you wouldn't tell me
if you were.
512
00:30:37,629 --> 00:30:40,037
- It's about Miss Moss.
- What's the trouble?
513
00:30:40,215 --> 00:30:42,837
Probably nothing, but a few days ago
a teen magazine...
514
00:30:43,010 --> 00:30:46,509
...published an interview with her.
- The old guys were playing a joke.
515
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:51,141
It's not a good idea for a staffer to say
there's a missile in the capital.
516
00:30:51,310 --> 00:30:53,979
She hit a little close to home
for our comfort.
517
00:30:54,146 --> 00:30:56,933
- What do you mean?
- Obviously I can't elaborate.
518
00:30:58,317 --> 00:31:01,567
- She hit a little close to home?
- Yeah.
519
00:31:03,697 --> 00:31:06,153
- You saying...?
- You don't have code-word clearance.
520
00:31:06,325 --> 00:31:08,732
- We need to stay professional.
- Yeah.
521
00:31:09,161 --> 00:31:11,616
How long has she been working for you?
522
00:31:12,664 --> 00:31:14,953
Listen, this...
523
00:31:15,125 --> 00:31:18,161
This is silly, she was just duped.
It was a joke.
524
00:31:18,337 --> 00:31:21,456
- How long has she worked for you?
- This is a misunderstanding.
525
00:31:21,632 --> 00:31:23,838
I would vouch for Donna with my life.
526
00:31:24,009 --> 00:31:26,547
She doesn't know about missiles.
She's from Wisconsin.
527
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,970
I'm simply asking
how long she's been working for you.
528
00:31:33,769 --> 00:31:36,094
No. Look, I'm sorry.
529
00:31:36,605 --> 00:31:40,056
I'm sure your intentions are good...
530
00:31:40,943 --> 00:31:43,350
...and this is just routine...
531
00:31:43,529 --> 00:31:46,102
...but I'd like to have her
talk to somebody.
532
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:49,112
- A lawyer?
- Yeah.
533
00:31:49,952 --> 00:31:53,403
Until this is straightened out,
I'll need to revoke her credentials.
534
00:31:53,747 --> 00:31:55,905
She's my assistant. For how long?
535
00:31:56,083 --> 00:31:58,122
As long as it takes.
536
00:31:59,545 --> 00:32:02,214
- All right.
- Thank you.
537
00:32:13,809 --> 00:32:15,766
Donna.
538
00:32:17,062 --> 00:32:19,387
- What was that?
- You gotta go home.
539
00:32:20,065 --> 00:32:22,271
- Why?
- That idiot interview you did...
540
00:32:22,442 --> 00:32:25,194
...popped a red flag.
They're revoking your credentials...
541
00:32:25,362 --> 00:32:27,355
...till it's straightened out.
542
00:32:28,657 --> 00:32:29,985
I don't believe it.
543
00:32:30,325 --> 00:32:32,484
I'm talking to someone
in Cochran's office.
544
00:32:32,661 --> 00:32:34,369
What am I supposed to do?
545
00:32:34,830 --> 00:32:37,036
Take a few days off.
Go home. Go to the beach.
546
00:32:37,207 --> 00:32:39,532
- It's February 2nd.
- I wouldn't go to the beach.
547
00:32:40,210 --> 00:32:43,579
- You've got a meeting in Leo's office.
- Don't worry about this.
548
00:32:43,755 --> 00:32:45,997
I'm gonna fix this.
549
00:32:50,554 --> 00:32:54,634
The president's not gonna be available
for a little bit. Fitzwallace just got here.
550
00:32:54,808 --> 00:32:57,097
Any idea what's going on?
551
00:32:57,728 --> 00:32:59,222
All right, listen up.
552
00:33:00,939 --> 00:33:05,103
We still have an open question on family.
We have an open question on Rooker...
553
00:33:05,277 --> 00:33:09,109
...missile defense and vouchers. We start
dress rehearsals tomorrow at 3.
554
00:33:09,281 --> 00:33:13,113
Let's split up in our groups.
I really want vouchers by 10...
555
00:33:13,285 --> 00:33:14,660
...missile defense by 11.
556
00:33:14,828 --> 00:33:16,904
Anyone not doing anything
at midnight...
557
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,750
...Team Toby, my cabin.
558
00:33:19,917 --> 00:33:22,871
- Good.
- Break's over.
559
00:33:29,134 --> 00:33:30,628
Ten-hut.
560
00:33:33,805 --> 00:33:35,679
- Thanks for coming down.
- Yes, sir.
561
00:33:35,849 --> 00:33:37,427
- What's going on?
- The Mastico...
562
00:33:37,601 --> 00:33:41,052
...a 200-foot Qumari cargo ship
is heading east...
563
00:33:41,230 --> 00:33:45,310
...in the Mediterranean toward Lebanon.
- Is it carrying Qumari arts and crafts?
564
00:33:45,484 --> 00:33:48,769
No, it's carrying 72 tons
of weapons and explosives...
565
00:33:48,946 --> 00:33:51,318
...including the
Multiple Launch Rocket System.
566
00:33:51,532 --> 00:33:56,988
This fires 12 warheads
with 644 M77 munitions.
567
00:33:57,162 --> 00:33:58,870
It does it in 60 seconds.
568
00:33:59,039 --> 00:34:02,788
The Global Positioning Device
on the MLRS is how we found the ship.
569
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,248
This is the message
we've been waiting for.
570
00:34:05,420 --> 00:34:07,627
They turn around the ship
in exchange for what?
571
00:34:07,798 --> 00:34:10,550
Access to the High Altitude Area
Defense Program.
572
00:34:10,717 --> 00:34:15,842
That's just the most sophisticated
anti-ballistic missile system in history...
573
00:34:16,014 --> 00:34:17,425
...short of Star Wars.
574
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:19,592
- What else?
- They're arming the Bahji, Leo.
575
00:34:19,768 --> 00:34:22,555
Two training camps
of which the Israelis just attacked.
576
00:34:22,729 --> 00:34:26,478
I've gotta turn around the boat. Tonight.
Tomorrow we'll worry about tomorrow.
577
00:34:26,650 --> 00:34:29,770
Or we can invite the sultan over
for a nice mixer.
578
00:34:29,945 --> 00:34:32,862
Punch, sack races, whatnot.
579
00:34:33,031 --> 00:34:35,107
Why are we playing games
with these people?
580
00:34:35,284 --> 00:34:39,613
They refuse to prosecute the Bahji.
They support them in a variety of ways.
581
00:34:39,788 --> 00:34:42,991
Why isn't that
the end of the conversation?
582
00:34:43,166 --> 00:34:46,950
"We'll worry about tomorrow
tomorrow." We said that yesterday.
583
00:34:54,011 --> 00:34:56,383
- Fitz?
- I couldn't agree with Leo more.
584
00:34:56,555 --> 00:34:59,176
- What about Nancy?
- Yeah.
585
00:35:02,436 --> 00:35:04,393
What's available from the Sixth Fleet?
586
00:35:04,897 --> 00:35:09,393
One forward unit east of the Mastico.
The 26th Marine Expeditionary.
587
00:35:10,319 --> 00:35:11,647
Stop the boat.
588
00:35:11,820 --> 00:35:14,655
- Don't shoot it unless I tell you to.
- Yes, sir.
589
00:35:20,078 --> 00:35:22,569
This doesn't feel good, does it?
590
00:35:22,956 --> 00:35:24,830
It's quiet, you know? It's too quiet.
591
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,660
- C.J.
- Yeah?
592
00:35:31,507 --> 00:35:34,673
The president has withdrawn
Rooker's name from nomination.
593
00:35:34,843 --> 00:35:37,513
- Well, at least it's behind us.
- Not quite.
594
00:35:38,096 --> 00:35:42,474
Our report card
for our first two weeks in office.
595
00:35:42,643 --> 00:35:46,510
The president's approval has gone from
61 ş% ş during the transition...
596
00:35:46,688 --> 00:35:51,185
...when I suppose there's nothing
to approve, to 49ş% ş once there was.
597
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,685
Forty-seven percent see him
as a strong leader...
598
00:35:53,862 --> 00:35:56,021
...a result of bungling
the Rooker nomination.
599
00:35:56,198 --> 00:35:58,771
And African-American support...
600
00:35:58,951 --> 00:36:02,035
...which basically elected him,
has gone from 92 to 78.
601
00:36:02,204 --> 00:36:05,869
Finally, if the election were held today,
the president would be chairman...
602
00:36:06,041 --> 00:36:09,208
...of the economics department
at Phillips Andover Academy.
603
00:36:13,006 --> 00:36:15,877
Can anyone report anything good?
604
00:36:16,927 --> 00:36:20,011
Six hundred thousand evangelicals
are praying for me.
605
00:36:20,180 --> 00:36:23,964
- So we have that going for us.
- What the hell are you talking about?
606
00:36:24,142 --> 00:36:27,060
It's true. A guy gave me this card,
365 people in media.
607
00:36:27,229 --> 00:36:29,981
- Who are the others?
- I don't know, let's see.
608
00:36:30,148 --> 00:36:33,767
Hugh Hefner, Don lmus, Howard Stern.
All the late-night guys.
609
00:36:33,944 --> 00:36:36,269
This is...
One, two, three.
610
00:36:36,446 --> 00:36:39,116
This is the editorial board of
The New York Times.
611
00:36:39,283 --> 00:36:42,533
This isn't a good list. It's a list
of people who are going to hell.
612
00:36:42,828 --> 00:36:44,737
They aren't praying
because they like me.
613
00:36:44,913 --> 00:36:46,989
It's because I'm doomed
to eternal damnation.
614
00:36:47,165 --> 00:36:49,917
- If you weren't it'd be a waste of praying.
- You're on it too.
615
00:36:50,085 --> 00:36:52,493
- Can I see that?
- You can all leave.
616
00:36:52,671 --> 00:36:54,913
We're gonna do better for you, boss.
617
00:36:55,090 --> 00:36:57,581
- Do better for him.
- We will.
618
00:36:57,759 --> 00:36:59,551
We will.
619
00:37:05,184 --> 00:37:07,093
- Sam?
- Yeah?
620
00:37:07,269 --> 00:37:09,890
- Can you walk with me a second?
- Yeah.
621
00:37:11,398 --> 00:37:13,556
Well, you were right, I was wrong.
622
00:37:13,734 --> 00:37:17,019
More often than not it's gonna be
the other way around, so...
623
00:37:17,196 --> 00:37:19,733
- Thanks. I've got a weird problem.
- What?
624
00:37:19,907 --> 00:37:23,322
Remember Donna had lunch
with Mack's assistant a few weeks ago?
625
00:37:23,493 --> 00:37:26,945
He told her there's a missile silo
on the grounds.
626
00:37:27,122 --> 00:37:31,369
She repeated it to a magazine
and an NSA guy...
627
00:37:31,543 --> 00:37:35,671
...came to see me just now and he
said she struck a little close to home...
628
00:37:35,839 --> 00:37:40,300
...and they want to investigate. In the
meantime, they revoked her credentials.
629
00:37:40,677 --> 00:37:44,296
-"Struck too close to home"?
- It means somehow, she...
630
00:37:44,473 --> 00:37:48,636
There's actually some kind of weapons
system right here on the White House...
631
00:37:48,810 --> 00:37:51,052
...or intelligence gathering...
632
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:53,021
Wait a minute.
633
00:37:53,899 --> 00:37:56,568
- This doesn't sound right.
- No.
634
00:38:09,581 --> 00:38:10,910
Hi.
635
00:38:11,667 --> 00:38:15,367
Hey.
Just hanging with my friend Michael.
636
00:38:15,546 --> 00:38:19,839
He works in the staff secretary's office.
Plus, he's got his own band.
637
00:38:20,008 --> 00:38:22,760
By the way, you know what
your name is for the next month?
638
00:38:22,928 --> 00:38:26,012
- It's gonna be Bambi, isn't it?
- Yeah, it's gonna be Bambi-ass.
639
00:38:26,181 --> 00:38:30,309
I'll call you Abner because you came
into the White House and didn't flinch.
640
00:38:35,524 --> 00:38:37,563
I'm making phone calls.
641
00:38:41,488 --> 00:38:43,030
-Yeah?
- How you doing?
642
00:38:43,198 --> 00:38:45,238
- I'm freezing.
-Where are you?
643
00:38:45,409 --> 00:38:48,196
- I'm at my front door.
- Well, go inside.
644
00:38:48,370 --> 00:38:51,288
- I can't, I'll lose you.
- You'll never lose me, Amy.
645
00:38:51,456 --> 00:38:54,126
- Please don't say that.
- What do you have?
646
00:38:54,585 --> 00:38:57,455
- I don't have anything.
- I don't believe you.
647
00:39:00,841 --> 00:39:03,414
I don't know what
you want me to say.
648
00:39:06,471 --> 00:39:08,630
I want women to have help
from the government.
649
00:39:08,807 --> 00:39:11,808
I want women to earn what men earnand everyone to earn enough...
650
00:39:11,977 --> 00:39:14,349
...so everyone can choose right
for their family.
651
00:39:14,521 --> 00:39:18,471
And after that it's none of your businesswho stays home and who goes to work.
652
00:39:18,775 --> 00:39:21,313
You don't know more about
raising a family than I do.
653
00:39:21,486 --> 00:39:25,401
That was it. We got it. We'll give it
a test and I'll call back around 1.
654
00:39:25,574 --> 00:39:27,068
- A.M.?
-Yeah.
655
00:39:27,242 --> 00:39:28,571
Good.
656
00:39:28,952 --> 00:39:31,739
Let's get that in the form of an answer.
657
00:39:32,581 --> 00:39:35,036
- We got something from Amy.
- Good.
658
00:39:35,209 --> 00:39:37,581
He was wondering:
The Team Toby meeting...
659
00:39:37,753 --> 00:39:40,707
...Toby doesn't need to be there, right?
- I wasn't wondering.
660
00:39:40,881 --> 00:39:43,502
Do your job as a man
and get that nice girl pregnant.
661
00:39:43,675 --> 00:39:45,086
I did.
662
00:39:45,260 --> 00:39:47,383
- Wait, what?
- What?
663
00:39:47,554 --> 00:39:48,883
Andy's pregnant.
664
00:39:54,144 --> 00:39:55,722
Toby, Andy's pregnant?
665
00:39:56,021 --> 00:39:57,432
With twins.
666
00:40:01,652 --> 00:40:03,691
This is incredible.
667
00:40:07,241 --> 00:40:09,280
And they're yours?
668
00:40:09,451 --> 00:40:11,444
- Yeah.
- Both of them?
669
00:40:15,582 --> 00:40:17,326
I'm going downstairs.
670
00:40:21,338 --> 00:40:23,663
Well, we're gonna have to
step this up now.
671
00:40:23,841 --> 00:40:27,007
Yeah. I'm gonna get hats.
672
00:40:27,177 --> 00:40:28,921
Let's go.
673
00:40:32,349 --> 00:40:34,057
- Mr. President.
- Did you have a good day?
674
00:40:34,226 --> 00:40:37,725
Yes, sir. We haven't found the answer
we like on the Rooker question yet.
675
00:40:38,021 --> 00:40:40,477
You know what I remember
he said to me. He said:
676
00:40:40,649 --> 00:40:43,816
"Mr. President, when I hear black
footsteps behind me, I'm scared.
677
00:40:43,986 --> 00:40:46,144
When I hear white footsteps, I'm not."
678
00:40:46,446 --> 00:40:49,234
Well, I think we both know
people who'd say different.
679
00:40:49,408 --> 00:40:53,619
But you have to respect him for voicing
an unpopular opinion amongst his people.
680
00:40:53,787 --> 00:40:56,907
You pay for these things
for such a long time, don't you think?
681
00:40:57,082 --> 00:40:59,490
I do. And I don't know why
we struggle with it.
682
00:40:59,668 --> 00:41:01,459
I made a mistake, I corrected it.
683
00:41:01,628 --> 00:41:03,372
- I'll make more.
- Yes.
684
00:41:03,547 --> 00:41:08,090
Humans can't rebut that, it's prevent
defense and has the merit of being true.
685
00:41:08,844 --> 00:41:10,718
Am I gonna lose New Hampshire?
686
00:41:10,888 --> 00:41:12,512
Yes, sir.
687
00:41:15,184 --> 00:41:18,138
I don't mind blowing
the knucklehead stuff like Rooker.
688
00:41:18,312 --> 00:41:22,096
Rooker's not knucklehead.
But if I'm making mistakes there...
689
00:41:22,274 --> 00:41:25,560
...how do I know I'm not doing it
when it comes to matters...
690
00:41:25,736 --> 00:41:27,230
...like death and destruction?
691
00:41:27,404 --> 00:41:30,488
Well, probably you don't,
because there's no manual.
692
00:41:30,657 --> 00:41:34,441
Sir, we expect the president
to face the world in his own way...
693
00:41:34,620 --> 00:41:36,861
...in his own time.
694
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:40,075
Luckily for all of us you have
better advisers in that area...
695
00:41:40,250 --> 00:41:43,287
...than you do in domestic
and political policy.
696
00:41:43,462 --> 00:41:46,463
When we're done we should
talk about moving money to Ohio.
697
00:41:46,632 --> 00:41:48,957
Yes, and maybe making a stop
in Orange County.
698
00:41:49,134 --> 00:41:52,135
You know, our candidate
in the 47th is such a dynamo...
699
00:41:52,304 --> 00:41:55,755
...that he's in the hospital...
- Not anymore. He's dead.
700
00:41:57,142 --> 00:41:59,811
- Okay.
- Let's go.
701
00:42:02,064 --> 00:42:05,397
- And stay up in my face, okay?
- Yes, sir.
702
00:42:14,993 --> 00:42:18,825
I swear to God, the winner of this
debate's gonna be the next president.
703
00:42:18,997 --> 00:42:21,868
- Anybody wanna be on the losing team?
- No, sir.
704
00:42:22,042 --> 00:42:24,331
Then let's pump it up.
705
00:42:24,503 --> 00:42:26,412
Let's go, Claudia Jean.
706
00:42:26,588 --> 00:42:29,162
Good evening and welcome
to the presidential debate...
707
00:42:29,341 --> 00:42:32,508
...between President Bartlet and
Gov. Ritchie, being brought to you...
708
00:42:32,678 --> 00:42:35,382
...from the
University of California, San Diego.
709
00:42:35,556 --> 00:42:39,138
The format, agreed to by
both candidates, is as follows:
710
00:42:39,309 --> 00:42:41,468
A candidate will have
90 seconds to respond...
711
00:42:41,645 --> 00:42:44,480
...followed with a 60-second
questioning by his opponent...
712
00:42:44,648 --> 00:42:46,557
...followed by a 60-second summation.
713
00:42:46,733 --> 00:42:49,438
By virtue of a coin toss, Mr. President...
714
00:42:49,611 --> 00:42:51,937
...the first question goes to you.63097
