Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,798 --> 00:00:08,209
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:08,383 --> 00:00:12,547
You put me in that office and the
speechwriting staff is gonna resent me.
3
00:00:12,721 --> 00:00:14,844
Don't be ridiculous.
It's a West Wing office.
4
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:16,723
Everyone in the White House
will resent you.
5
00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:20,303
Looks like the junior staffers moved
their bicycles here in protest.
6
00:00:20,521 --> 00:00:22,597
- Jean Paul, this is Charlie.
- How do you do?
7
00:00:22,773 --> 00:00:25,394
Zoey talks about you.
She talks about you so much...
8
00:00:25,567 --> 00:00:27,856
...I think sometimes I want to kill you.
9
00:00:28,070 --> 00:00:31,154
You know how I feel about you,
but don't mess me around on this story.
10
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:33,571
The three guys out front
were U.S. Army Rangers.
11
00:00:33,784 --> 00:00:37,117
Danny thinks we somehow
got a Gulfstream to land in Bermuda...
12
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:38,781
...and assassinated Shareef.
13
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:42,241
The thing is, I'm absolutely certain
that's what happened.
14
00:00:49,591 --> 00:00:52,082
Three years in the Senate,
four in the White House...
15
00:00:52,261 --> 00:00:54,633
...it's my first time
in the Republican Cloakroom.
16
00:00:54,805 --> 00:00:58,138
- What do you think?
- You use the same decorator we do.
17
00:00:58,308 --> 00:01:00,515
Damn it, Josh, I decorated the room.
18
00:01:00,686 --> 00:01:03,093
Was Benjamin Harrison
banned from here?
19
00:01:03,272 --> 00:01:06,557
By Senate resolution,
because he was lobbying too much.
20
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:09,224
And Warren Harding's mistress
was impregnated here.
21
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:12,398
- Prompting another resolution?
- No.
22
00:01:13,824 --> 00:01:17,774
Is there any chance that Nearing is soft?
23
00:01:17,953 --> 00:01:20,658
- Anything that makes her vote yea?
- No.
24
00:01:20,831 --> 00:01:22,373
- You sure?
- Yeah. Look...
25
00:01:22,583 --> 00:01:25,702
- Herman Morton?
- You'd have to rewrite the education bill.
26
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:28,873
It's 50-50, Jane. Hoynes
has a sleeping bag in there.
27
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:32,173
- We need to, you and I...
- The senator's voting no.
28
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:35,337
Which senator?
29
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:37,884
The one we work for.
30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,096
- What the hell...?
- A Liberty Foundation poll...
31
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:43,468
A Liberty Foundation poll's
about to come out.
32
00:01:43,645 --> 00:01:46,480
Sixty-eight percent say we spend
too much on foreign aid.
33
00:01:46,648 --> 00:01:50,432
- Fifty-nine percent want aid cut.
- These people are responding to...
34
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:53,612
They're responding to being overtaxed
and having that money...
35
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:56,188
...sent to Burundi instead
of their kid's school.
36
00:01:56,366 --> 00:01:59,320
- Now you're for more education funding?
- That's not the point.
37
00:01:59,536 --> 00:02:02,027
Of course it polls badly.
The people it's helping...
38
00:02:02,206 --> 00:02:04,079
...aren't the ones
answering the phones.
39
00:02:04,291 --> 00:02:05,750
Or paying the taxes or voting.
40
00:02:05,918 --> 00:02:08,705
The senator reached
this conclusion when the Liberty...
41
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:13,505
He's never liked it, and the poll gives him
cover with The New York Times people.
42
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:18,091
When you say"New York Times," you're
not talking about people who work there.
43
00:02:18,263 --> 00:02:21,597
- No. Look...
- You mean, people who can read.
44
00:02:22,518 --> 00:02:24,890
It's a quorum call.
45
00:02:25,062 --> 00:02:27,054
I understand what it is.
46
00:02:27,231 --> 00:02:29,804
- Come on, Josh...
- I think this is crap.
47
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:32,309
Your boss has known
about this poll...
48
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:34,443
...and he's embarrassing
the president...
49
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:37,104
...because he spent too much time
with the other guy.
50
00:02:37,282 --> 00:02:39,074
We begged you to keep out
of Colorado.
51
00:02:39,243 --> 00:02:40,820
On the first vote out of the box.
52
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:44,410
Bartlet had Colorado from the
convention. He went there five times.
53
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,574
President Bartlet.
54
00:02:47,292 --> 00:02:49,534
You're one vote down on foreign aid.
55
00:03:44,474 --> 00:03:47,012
- The curse of every daughter's father.
- Boyfriends?
56
00:03:47,186 --> 00:03:49,392
- I don't like them at all.
- Yes, I know, sir.
57
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:52,054
What the hell happened
with you two? It was perfect.
58
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:55,566
- I just kept you in the office.
- She was unhappy I was at the office.
59
00:03:55,736 --> 00:03:59,484
That's the point. If I was trying to
make her happy, I'd buy her a Cabriolet.
60
00:03:59,656 --> 00:04:02,361
C-Jean, stable economies
with free-flowing uranium...
61
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,701
...don't make for a stable world
community. Did I make that point?
62
00:04:05,871 --> 00:04:09,454
- Is there a cow on my schedule today?
- Heifer International. Don't worry.
63
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:11,333
A cow. I shouldn't worry about it.
64
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:13,494
It's a photo-op with a cow,
not a sit-down.
65
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:16,624
- I like your sass.
- You've got a very nice sass yourself.
66
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:18,293
- What, you touring?
- I could.
67
00:04:18,467 --> 00:04:19,795
Eagle's in daylight.
68
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:22,294
- I'm all right? On time?
- Yes, sir.
69
00:04:29,895 --> 00:04:33,595
How you doing?
Good to see you.
70
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:37,315
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
71
00:04:37,486 --> 00:04:40,238
- Thank you very much. Thank you.
- Shake my hand, please.
72
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:43,739
Thank you. Thank you. Good to see you.
73
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:47,236
- How are you?
- President Bartlet.
74
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:49,488
- Thank you.
- You're doing a great job.
75
00:04:49,665 --> 00:04:52,286
- Thank you very much.
- Please. Please look at that.
76
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:56,587
- You can hand that to the president.
- I'm not looking for an autograph.
77
00:04:57,422 --> 00:04:59,415
Yes, ma'am.
78
00:05:01,218 --> 00:05:03,009
- Yeah.
- We're a vote down.
79
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:05,467
-What happened?
- Colorado happened.
80
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,762
Charlie.
81
00:05:07,933 --> 00:05:10,009
- How are you?
- Mr. President, we have to go.
82
00:05:10,227 --> 00:05:12,303
Okay, we're coming back.
83
00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:13,849
This is a push poll.
84
00:05:14,022 --> 00:05:16,229
Sixty-eight percent
think we spend too much.
85
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,187
- 59 percent think it should be cut.
- This is a push poll.
86
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:22,196
Respondents estimate foreign aid
to be 15% of the budget.
87
00:05:22,364 --> 00:05:25,151
It's 1 percent,
or it was a half-hour ago.
88
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,614
Listen."The money
that goes into foreign aid...
89
00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:31,237
...could be used to reduce the tax
burden at home. Do you support that?"
90
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:33,454
- That's not a push poll?
- Come here.
91
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:37,623
I lose this vote, I'm resigning.
92
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:46,800
- Will they postpone again?
- Not after two continuing resolutions.
93
00:05:46,972 --> 00:05:49,261
- This expires at midnight.
- Is that our problem?
94
00:05:49,433 --> 00:05:52,184
It massively is, yes.
95
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:53,977
What about Grace Hardin?
96
00:05:54,146 --> 00:05:56,518
I thought of her.
Can she say no to the president?
97
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,442
- She will.
- She's publicly against it, local politics.
98
00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:01,733
- Foreign aid in Georgia?
- She's a Democrat.
99
00:06:01,904 --> 00:06:05,154
She owes the president. Nothing wrong
with Georgia that New England can't fix.
100
00:06:05,365 --> 00:06:08,734
- If it's no, it's gotta be a fast no.
- It's not gonna be no.
101
00:06:08,911 --> 00:06:11,532
Put the senior senator
from Colorado in the nay column.
102
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:15,156
Move Grace Hardin to undecided
and start the clock.
103
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:21,372
I hate that clock.
104
00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:23,375
Excuse me, Josh.
105
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:26,337
- Yeah, you're Bill Bailey, right?
- Will Bailey, yeah.
106
00:06:26,512 --> 00:06:28,588
- I'm surprised we haven't met.
- You're busy.
107
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:30,092
We talked on the phone.
108
00:06:30,265 --> 00:06:32,935
You get a workout talking to someone
in this building.
109
00:06:33,101 --> 00:06:36,969
- I've heard the jokes. What do you need?
- I'm with Toby on the inauguration.
110
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:38,855
I know who you are.
What do you need?
111
00:06:39,024 --> 00:06:42,891
I'm in a legislative section talking
about bipartisan cooperation...
112
00:06:43,111 --> 00:06:45,947
...and because it was legislative,
Toby wanted you involved.
113
00:06:46,114 --> 00:06:49,115
You picked the wrong day
to write about bipartisan cooperation.
114
00:06:49,284 --> 00:06:53,329
Sixty-eight percent of respondents think
we hand out too much in foreign aid.
115
00:06:53,497 --> 00:06:56,070
Fifty-nine percent think it should be cut.
116
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,741
Were you talking to me just then?
117
00:07:01,797 --> 00:07:05,497
- Read me what you got so far.
-"The people, in their enduring wisdom...
118
00:07:05,676 --> 00:07:09,460
...have put in office a chief executive
of one party and a Congress of another.
119
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:12,674
- It's our duty to respect..."
- Strike"in their enduring wisdom."
120
00:07:12,850 --> 00:07:16,349
Electing a reactionary Congress
and a progressive president was wise?
121
00:07:16,687 --> 00:07:20,020
The people, in a fog of uncertainty...
122
00:07:20,232 --> 00:07:23,565
...unsure of the difference,
split tickets across the country.
123
00:07:23,735 --> 00:07:27,104
Well, I agree, but I think Toby
would say that lacks poetry.
124
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:31,320
Sixty-eight percent says too much.
Fifty-nine percent wanna see it cut.
125
00:07:32,578 --> 00:07:37,738
You know, there's plenty of work I can
do in the meantime. I'll find you later.
126
00:07:40,169 --> 00:07:41,995
- Hey, Ted.
- Will.
127
00:07:42,171 --> 00:07:43,914
Okay.
128
00:07:44,798 --> 00:07:48,001
- I need Senator Hardin.
- Leo's office called over, and we're on it.
129
00:07:48,177 --> 00:07:49,884
Good.
130
00:07:50,721 --> 00:07:53,805
- Are you gonna try Cantina?
- We're gonna try everybody...
131
00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:56,643
...but Cantina's never voted
to send any money anywhere.
132
00:07:56,810 --> 00:08:00,060
- I think he's against airmail stamps.
- What about McKenna?
133
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:03,231
He needs Republican votes
on broadband access.
134
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,650
And you think you're gonna
have luck with Grace Hardin?
135
00:08:06,862 --> 00:08:09,779
She's a freshman Democrat.
She can't say no to the president.
136
00:08:09,948 --> 00:08:13,364
Have you seen how
foreign aid polls in Georgia?
137
00:08:13,535 --> 00:08:16,785
There's a hockey coach who's got
a player squandering his potential.
138
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:19,031
Coach says,
"Are you ignorant or apathetic?"
139
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:21,663
The player says,
"I don't know, and I don't care."
140
00:08:21,877 --> 00:08:24,582
Yeah, I've seen how foreign aid
polls in Georgia.
141
00:08:24,755 --> 00:08:26,831
Grace might be tough to get
to the phone.
142
00:08:27,007 --> 00:08:29,676
- We've been here before.
- Tell me about it.
143
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:32,761
You had two strategies
shouted down. You can't take the fall.
144
00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:35,302
My job is to execute
the plays Leo calls.
145
00:08:35,474 --> 00:08:39,803
Were you serious before about resigning?
146
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,013
Are we looking for Hardin?!
147
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:45,099
They're on it.
148
00:08:48,487 --> 00:08:52,271
This pile goes to Personal
Correspondence for special handling.
149
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,649
These go to Main Correspondence.
150
00:08:55,827 --> 00:09:01,202
So, Charlie, what it is you do is,
you sort the mail for Zoey's father.
151
00:09:01,583 --> 00:09:02,912
Yeah, I guess.
152
00:09:03,126 --> 00:09:05,119
You don't like me,
because I'm with Zoey.
153
00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:08,089
- Jean Paul, I'm kind of working here.
- Oh, I understand.
154
00:09:08,298 --> 00:09:12,378
- There's a great deal of mail to sort.
- Also classified intelligence cables.
155
00:09:12,594 --> 00:09:15,631
And a meeting to break up
between a president and a king, so...
156
00:09:15,806 --> 00:09:18,178
Stacy, that big, blue envelope,
where is it going?
157
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:21,595
General Correspondence. A servicewoman
talking about food stamps.
158
00:09:21,812 --> 00:09:23,639
- She was in the service?
- You know her?
159
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:29,270
No. Okay. No. You know what?
Leave it here. Let me read it.
160
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,987
Will the White House delay the vote?
161
00:09:39,162 --> 00:09:41,998
Like I said, the continuing
resolution expires at midnight.
162
00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,075
If Congress doesn't act,
no foreign aid.
163
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:46,956
What's your reaction to Mosley
saying,"We throw money...
164
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:49,168
...at problems halfway
around the world."
165
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:53,419
President wishes the Republican leader
would throw money at problems here...
166
00:09:53,594 --> 00:09:56,548
...but doesn't wish that the U.S.
retreat as a world leader.
167
00:09:56,722 --> 00:09:58,928
Foreign aid's been cut 50ş% ş
in the last decade.
168
00:09:59,141 --> 00:10:04,099
In percentage of GNP spent,
we rank dead last. Mark.
169
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:07,479
Was it a bad idea to make the first bill
such a controversial one?
170
00:10:07,691 --> 00:10:11,903
The president doesn't believe that should
be taken into consideration. Steve.
171
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:15,522
A Democratic senator says that
if this goes down, it'll stall momentum...
172
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:19,282
We're not responding to a blind quote,
we just assume you made it up.
173
00:10:19,453 --> 00:10:23,285
- I'm not kidding. Thank you.
- Thank you, C.J.
174
00:10:23,457 --> 00:10:26,707
Danny, come back
to the office for a second.
175
00:10:29,588 --> 00:10:32,791
What'd the president say about
Mosley's"halfway around the world"?
176
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,923
- He said,"What a tool."
- I figured.
177
00:10:35,093 --> 00:10:39,222
You can say several senior administration
officials say the White House will...
178
00:10:39,389 --> 00:10:42,225
...have a good memory when
the transportation bill comes up.
179
00:10:42,392 --> 00:10:45,180
You don't mind blind quotes
when they're from you.
180
00:10:45,354 --> 00:10:50,596
Okay. So I'll walk your threat
around for you, but...
181
00:10:50,776 --> 00:10:54,145
- Yes?
- The pilot on Shareef's Gulfstream.
182
00:10:54,321 --> 00:10:57,322
- What do you think I'm gonna say?
- His name was Jamil Bari.
183
00:10:57,533 --> 00:11:00,368
The first thing you wanna do
is find out if Jamil Bari...
184
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:05,204
...had any history of pilot error to see
if that contributed to the crash.
185
00:11:05,374 --> 00:11:08,956
So my new assistant, Maisy,
she found out that Jamil Bari...
186
00:11:09,127 --> 00:11:13,624
...got a certificate of qualification
on the Gulfstream in 1994.
187
00:11:14,383 --> 00:11:16,126
- Was that it?
- Yeah, that's it.
188
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:18,294
That's all we've been able to find out.
189
00:11:18,512 --> 00:11:21,513
We've been checking aviation schools,
and we can't find him.
190
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:24,054
There are a lot of schools.
We'll check them all.
191
00:11:24,268 --> 00:11:26,260
- Sooner or later, you'll find him?
- Sure.
192
00:11:26,436 --> 00:11:30,600
You know, I gotta tell you, your tie
goes with your shirt, and your jacket...
193
00:11:30,774 --> 00:11:34,108
You're dating a college
graduate, aren't you?
194
00:11:35,153 --> 00:11:37,479
Maisy ain't never gonna find him, C.J.
195
00:11:37,656 --> 00:11:41,072
Jamil Bari is an invented
identity for someone. It has to be.
196
00:11:41,243 --> 00:11:44,612
For this thing to have worked,
the pilot had to be one of our guys.
197
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:47,368
Yeah, I just meant it was a nice tie.
198
00:11:48,292 --> 00:11:51,495
- I'll be around all day for the vote.
- Okay.
199
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:59,042
What's up there, Gail?
200
00:12:03,682 --> 00:12:05,556
Somebody talking
to the Dirksen office?
201
00:12:05,726 --> 00:12:08,431
- She's at the campaign office.
- Campaign office says she's at district.
202
00:12:08,604 --> 00:12:11,177
- District office is in Atlanta.
- That's where she is.
203
00:12:11,356 --> 00:12:13,515
- District office?
- Says she's on her way back.
204
00:12:13,692 --> 00:12:15,981
It's a commercial flight?
205
00:12:16,612 --> 00:12:18,937
An hour and a half,
we can't find a U.S. senator?
206
00:12:19,156 --> 00:12:21,777
She doesn't want the call.
She's on her way back here.
207
00:12:21,950 --> 00:12:25,651
- She'll disappear till the vote.
- Your job is to take this, find her...
208
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:27,988
...and stick it in her hand.
Make big plays.
209
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:32,542
Donna, Delta flight 15 lands
at National in 35 minutes.
210
00:12:36,131 --> 00:12:39,915
We live in an interdependent world,
and we should act like it.
211
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:43,178
We live in a global community,
and we should sustain it.
212
00:12:43,347 --> 00:12:45,007
We should cross borders.
213
00:12:45,182 --> 00:12:48,266
We should cross borders to build
sustainable democracies...
214
00:12:48,477 --> 00:12:50,849
...that can banish privation and fear.
215
00:12:51,021 --> 00:12:54,853
And we should cross borders
to bring food and medicine and roads...
216
00:12:55,067 --> 00:12:59,942
...and schools and teachers to parts of
the world forgotten by all but warlords.
217
00:13:00,155 --> 00:13:02,693
We're gonna pass this foreign-ops bill.
218
00:13:02,908 --> 00:13:06,740
This should be a century of hope
and prosperity everywhere.
219
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:12,079
And America's gonna lead the world
and not just bully it. Thank you.
220
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:38,434
- What the hell is going on?
- That was great.
221
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:41,101
Hey, thanks, Peach Patch.
What the hell is going on?
222
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,521
Hardin's a yes if we can
get her on the phone.
223
00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:45,157
Which is why we can't get her?
224
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:48,077
She's been a little slippery,
but this is where Josh eats.
225
00:13:48,245 --> 00:13:50,403
We have many, many
backup plans in the works?
226
00:13:50,581 --> 00:13:53,416
Josh has broken people into teams,
and they're developing...
227
00:13:53,584 --> 00:13:55,742
...and executing rapid-response
backup plans?
228
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:58,956
Yeah, okay. Toby, we should
probably have a backup plan.
229
00:13:59,131 --> 00:14:01,170
- Oh, my God.
- A split second of humor...
230
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:03,500
...injected in the middle
of a stressful day.
231
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:05,800
We're talking about the act of a friend.
232
00:14:05,971 --> 00:14:08,640
My daughter's dating a kid
better-looking than my wife.
233
00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:11,215
I have only so much RAM
to give over to... C.J.!
234
00:14:11,393 --> 00:14:13,386
- Yes.
- Sorry, but again, there's a cow?
235
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:15,804
- A photo-op with a cow.
- Yeah, I got that part.
236
00:14:15,981 --> 00:14:19,350
Heifer International. They give cows
to families in developing nations.
237
00:14:19,526 --> 00:14:23,606
And that's great, but a picture of me
and a cow. You're okay with that art?
238
00:14:23,780 --> 00:14:25,109
I have my concerns.
239
00:14:25,282 --> 00:14:28,449
- Why did you agree to it?
- It's an organization certainly worthy...
240
00:14:28,619 --> 00:14:31,288
- Abbey set it up?
- I'll figure a way to make it work.
241
00:14:31,455 --> 00:14:34,076
Good luck.
Turn around casually and tell me...
242
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:39,207
...if Le Vicomte de Valvert's got his
hands near anyone who's related to me.
243
00:14:39,379 --> 00:14:41,621
- That is a good-looking young man.
- Zoey!
244
00:14:41,798 --> 00:14:45,333
- I don't respond when you shout.
- You'd respond if I stopped feeding you!
245
00:14:45,511 --> 00:14:48,428
- Ignore him.
- Oh, yes, I do.
246
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:50,886
This envelope that interests you,
it was what?
247
00:14:51,058 --> 00:14:53,596
- What envelope?
- A woman on a rope line this morning.
248
00:14:53,769 --> 00:14:55,975
An Army private.
Her family's on food stamps.
249
00:14:56,146 --> 00:14:58,815
- An American soldier on food stamps?
- It's a big family.
250
00:14:58,982 --> 00:15:02,351
- You read this letter as if it was special.
- She handed it right to me.
251
00:15:02,528 --> 00:15:05,232
And after you read it,
you just throw it on the pile.
252
00:15:05,447 --> 00:15:07,440
- Yes.
- So this woman, she sees you...
253
00:15:07,658 --> 00:15:11,406
...next to Zoey's father, and she doesn't
know that you're powerless to help.
254
00:15:11,620 --> 00:15:12,948
I'm not powerless.
255
00:15:13,121 --> 00:15:16,573
I called the DoD and asked them
to give special notice to her letter.
256
00:15:16,750 --> 00:15:18,541
- Charlie.
- Yes, sir.
257
00:15:18,710 --> 00:15:22,079
Give me that blue envelope back.
I gotta call the DoD.
258
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:26,508
Who writes this handholding crap
for the president anyhow?
259
00:15:27,010 --> 00:15:29,217
Free food and the gentle lady
from Tennessee.
260
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:32,093
The food wasn't free,
and is the president comfortable...
261
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:34,757
...defining 50 years
of security policy as bullying?
262
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:37,141
He wasn't talking about
the last half-century.
263
00:15:37,312 --> 00:15:39,934
What happened to politics
stopping at the water's edge?
264
00:15:40,107 --> 00:15:42,514
- Food's apolitical.
- At 10:30 tonight, it ain't.
265
00:15:42,693 --> 00:15:46,358
You guys are gonna have a bit of a time
getting Gracie Hardin on the phone.
266
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:49,365
Jimmy, you wanna tell me
something I don't know?
267
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:51,691
I got a yea vote for you.
268
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:55,326
- Whose?
- Mine. Can I be in your office in an hour?
269
00:15:55,539 --> 00:15:58,112
- Can you be there in half an hour?
- No.
270
00:15:58,834 --> 00:16:00,826
Okay.
271
00:16:01,420 --> 00:16:03,412
Thank you.
272
00:16:06,884 --> 00:16:09,172
They phoned ahead
and said you wanted this back.
273
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:11,800
Yeah. Thanks.
274
00:16:29,281 --> 00:16:32,317
-Good afternoon, the Pentagon.
- Sergeant Major Moreland, please.
275
00:16:32,492 --> 00:16:34,450
Just a moment.
276
00:16:36,914 --> 00:16:38,289
Secretary's office.
277
00:16:38,457 --> 00:16:41,244
This is Charlie Young
from the office of the president.
278
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:43,541
Please hold.
279
00:16:44,922 --> 00:16:46,665
Yes, this is Colonel Wolf.
280
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,916
Oh, no, I was calling
for Sergeant Moreland.
281
00:16:49,092 --> 00:16:53,007
-Yes, Mr. Young, how can I help you?
- No, sir, I wouldn't want to impose.
282
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:56,928
- I play basketball with Barry Moreland.
-Sergeant Moreland works for me.
283
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,307
How can I help the president?
284
00:16:59,478 --> 00:17:02,230
Well, no, it's not...
285
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:09,058
On a rope line, I was handed
a letter from an enlisted woman...
286
00:17:09,238 --> 00:17:11,314
...whose family is eligible
for food stamps.
287
00:17:11,490 --> 00:17:14,028
I was wondering whose eyes
I could put it in front of.
288
00:17:14,201 --> 00:17:19,871
-Mine. You'll send it today?
- Thank you. Yes, sir.
289
00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:38,715
You can't find Grace Hardin?
290
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:42,261
We're at the airport, we're at Dirksen,
we're at her house, her gym.
291
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:44,686
We're at her Senate office,
second office.
292
00:17:44,857 --> 00:17:48,107
We're at her lawyer's office,
we're at her husband's office.
293
00:17:48,318 --> 00:17:50,726
- I know you're up against it.
- Legislative section.
294
00:17:50,904 --> 00:17:53,822
I cut"enduring wisdom."
"The American people have spoken.
295
00:17:53,991 --> 00:17:58,071
They have chosen a president
of one party and a Congress of another."
296
00:17:58,287 --> 00:18:01,537
You say that like constitutional
scholars made a conscious choice...
297
00:18:01,707 --> 00:18:04,542
...weighing checks and balances...
- They did make a choice.
298
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:08,209
In their defense, a lot of people
have a hard time seeing the difference.
299
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,586
Are any of those people in this room?
300
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:13,002
No.
301
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:17,465
One wants to save Social Security,
the other wants to privatize it.
302
00:18:17,639 --> 00:18:20,843
One wants to make polluters pay
to clean up pollution...
303
00:18:21,018 --> 00:18:24,019
...the other wants to give tax breaks
so they can pollute more.
304
00:18:24,188 --> 00:18:27,224
- One wants to send aid to countries...
- Okay.
305
00:18:27,941 --> 00:18:29,270
Yeah.
306
00:18:30,152 --> 00:18:33,153
Cantina voted no on U.N. dues,
no on Kosovo peacekeeping.
307
00:18:33,322 --> 00:18:35,729
- He's just gonna burn time.
- No kidding.
308
00:18:40,996 --> 00:18:43,997
- Toby?
- Yeah.
309
00:18:45,959 --> 00:18:48,035
- Hoebuck?
- He came to me.
310
00:18:48,212 --> 00:18:51,746
He authored a bill
to insert the word"God"...
311
00:18:51,924 --> 00:18:54,249
...into the Pledge of Allegiance
four more times.
312
00:18:54,426 --> 00:18:59,005
Yeah. Well, once you've broken that
dam, what the hell does it matter?
313
00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:07,853
- Here's what I want for my vote.
- Yeah.
314
00:19:08,023 --> 00:19:10,431
- A hundred and fifteen thousand.
- Million.
315
00:19:10,609 --> 00:19:14,393
- I'm sorry?
- You said 115,000. You meant million.
316
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:19,233
I appreciate that Democrats know how
to read my mind, but I meant 115,000.
317
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:22,944
- For what?
- I want to pay people to pray.
318
00:19:23,914 --> 00:19:26,156
- Out of the federal budget?
- Yeah.
319
00:19:26,333 --> 00:19:29,038
And this woman leads
a world-class team of psychiatrists?
320
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:33,339
Not exactly,
but you're awfully close.
321
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:38,757
This is Dr. Gwendolyn Chen, she's chief
cardiologist at Duke Medical Center.
322
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,096
Have you heard of intercessory prayer
or remote prayer?
323
00:19:43,267 --> 00:19:45,639
This is where you draw up
a list of sinners and...
324
00:19:45,811 --> 00:19:48,563
People pray for you
even though you're not aware of it.
325
00:19:48,772 --> 00:19:51,441
Yeah, C.J. got spammed
with that a few months ago.
326
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:55,986
Was that before or after her agent
got shot at a fruit stand?
327
00:19:57,614 --> 00:20:00,615
Do you wanna make a rim-shot out
of an agent getting dead?
328
00:20:00,826 --> 00:20:03,578
Do you really wanna refer
to people's prayers as spam?
329
00:20:05,998 --> 00:20:09,034
- Dr. Chen, what are you doing here?
- Go ahead, please.
330
00:20:09,209 --> 00:20:11,747
We completed a double-blind,
placebo-controlled study.
331
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,328
- This isn't happening.
- I'll point out that Duke...
332
00:20:14,506 --> 00:20:16,962
...is nonsectarian
and Dr. Chen is agnostic.
333
00:20:17,134 --> 00:20:19,921
A thousand heart patients
were split into two groups.
334
00:20:20,095 --> 00:20:22,966
Half were prayed for by volunteers,
the other half weren't.
335
00:20:23,140 --> 00:20:26,176
The patients that were prayed for...
I know it sounds crazy...
336
00:20:26,393 --> 00:20:30,770
...but the patients that were prayed for,
11 ş% ş fewer heart attacks and strokes.
337
00:20:30,939 --> 00:20:34,771
Pacific College of Medicine, Mid America
Heart Institute and 12 other studies.
338
00:20:34,985 --> 00:20:37,310
Published in The New EnglandJournal of Medicine?
339
00:20:37,487 --> 00:20:40,821
A hundred and fifteen thousand
for a wider study. This one by the NIH.
340
00:20:41,033 --> 00:20:46,537
115,000 in exchange for a $ 17 billion
foreign-aid bill. That's all.
341
00:20:47,623 --> 00:20:49,662
Dr. Chen?
342
00:20:51,502 --> 00:20:54,337
- It was nice meeting you.
- Dr. Chen.
343
00:21:02,596 --> 00:21:05,004
Passengers of Delta flight 378from Atlanta...
344
00:21:05,182 --> 00:21:12,063
... proceed to baggage claim area threelocated on level one of Terminal B.
345
00:21:26,495 --> 00:21:28,155
Ellen?
346
00:21:28,330 --> 00:21:29,741
- Ellen?
- Hey, Donna.
347
00:21:29,957 --> 00:21:31,534
- Where's the senator?
- What?
348
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:35,333
The district office said
she was on Delta 15. She wasn't.
349
00:21:35,546 --> 00:21:39,211
She came in this morning. We were just
cleaning up things at the home store.
350
00:21:39,383 --> 00:21:42,799
I'm trying to arrange a call
to Senator Hardin from the president.
351
00:21:43,011 --> 00:21:45,846
As soon as I track her down,
we'll set it up.
352
00:21:46,056 --> 00:21:47,930
- I appreciate that.
- Okay, I'll see you.
353
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:50,139
Thanks.
354
00:22:03,782 --> 00:22:06,534
Sir? Excuse me. My name is Donna,
and if you look at me...
355
00:22:06,702 --> 00:22:09,240
...you'll know that I'm not
gonna steal from you.
356
00:22:09,413 --> 00:22:12,746
- Can I borrow that envelope?
- Yeah. It's nothing, but here.
357
00:22:15,043 --> 00:22:16,953
- Excuse me, is it Rick?
- Jason.
358
00:22:17,171 --> 00:22:21,085
I'm new. This needs to get to the
senator. Are you going with Dirksen?
359
00:22:21,300 --> 00:22:23,625
The senator's at the Women
in Media luncheon.
360
00:22:23,844 --> 00:22:27,129
Right. Stupid, stupid. Thank you.
361
00:22:31,185 --> 00:22:33,592
Thank you very much.
362
00:22:47,284 --> 00:22:51,364
Well, first of all, that's not a cow.
363
00:22:51,538 --> 00:22:54,409
It's not. It's a goat.
364
00:22:55,459 --> 00:22:58,211
Yeah, I may have agreed
to something about a goat.
365
00:22:58,378 --> 00:23:02,162
Did the first lady get you drunk
and take you shopping?
366
00:23:02,341 --> 00:23:06,801
Yes. The name of the group
is Heifer International.
367
00:23:06,970 --> 00:23:09,296
I was under the impression
it was gonna be a cow.
368
00:23:09,515 --> 00:23:12,930
- Lending presidential aura to the photo.
- What we're gonna do is...
369
00:23:13,101 --> 00:23:15,308
...we're gonna wait
until after the vote.
370
00:23:15,521 --> 00:23:18,142
If we don't win, it'd be
a mistake for this to run.
371
00:23:18,357 --> 00:23:21,642
- How big a mistake?
- My job would've hung in the balance.
372
00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:23,734
- In the balance?
- Goats are heifers too?
373
00:23:24,404 --> 00:23:25,780
I don't know.
374
00:23:25,989 --> 00:23:29,690
If the president's wearing a hat or
that thing's wearing a Bartlet button...
375
00:23:29,868 --> 00:23:32,988
...I'm hiding snakes in your car.
- Don't say that, even to joke.
376
00:23:33,205 --> 00:23:36,538
You're never gonna know where
they are or if you got them all out.
377
00:23:36,708 --> 00:23:38,618
Excuse me.
378
00:23:38,836 --> 00:23:42,501
They're gonna lay their eggs
right in the glove compartment.
379
00:23:45,676 --> 00:23:48,511
So this is gonna be a little while.
Can you wait?
380
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,211
Well, Ron doesn't
do that well in the cold.
381
00:23:51,932 --> 00:23:53,592
- Are you Ron?
- I'm Mike.
382
00:23:53,809 --> 00:23:58,767
- Of course. We'll find a room for him.
- I have oats in the truck.
383
00:23:58,981 --> 00:24:02,848
Well, you should bring the oats
because the mess closes at 6.
384
00:24:03,026 --> 00:24:04,984
Okay.
385
00:24:10,409 --> 00:24:12,864
This was delivered
to my desk, but it's for you.
386
00:24:13,036 --> 00:24:15,159
A memo your office ordered
from the Pentagon.
387
00:24:15,372 --> 00:24:18,871
I can't order memos from the Pentagon.
I can't order memos from anywhere.
388
00:24:19,042 --> 00:24:20,952
I don't have an office.
I work in the Oval Office.
389
00:24:21,170 --> 00:24:23,839
Well, that may have been the confusion.
390
00:24:24,006 --> 00:24:28,134
This is about... I just called the deputy's
aide and told him to look out for...
391
00:24:28,343 --> 00:24:31,013
Who at the Pentagon
thinks I can order a memo?
392
00:24:31,180 --> 00:24:33,931
The secretary of defense.
393
00:24:34,099 --> 00:24:36,590
All right, there's been a mistake.
394
00:24:36,768 --> 00:24:39,176
- You haven't shown this to anyone else?
- No.
395
00:24:39,354 --> 00:24:43,684
But it's cc'd to the joint chiefs
and the secretary of state.
396
00:24:45,235 --> 00:24:46,694
Anyone here?
397
00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:50,656
- Yeah, here it is. POTUS, V-POTUS.
- Yeah.
398
00:24:50,824 --> 00:24:53,576
- Leo McGarry and you.
- I see.
399
00:24:53,744 --> 00:24:55,902
What do you think it says?
400
00:24:56,997 --> 00:24:59,832
"Revised DoD offsets
and cost structure adjustments"...
401
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:05,077
...for the coming fiscal year
and every other fiscal year.
402
00:25:06,215 --> 00:25:08,587
The table of contents is six pages long.
403
00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:12,044
- You should read it.
- Yeah.
404
00:25:19,353 --> 00:25:21,429
You want me to fix you up
a piece a salmon?
405
00:25:21,605 --> 00:25:23,763
- No, thanks, Giuseppe.
- What about fettuccine?
406
00:25:23,941 --> 00:25:26,313
- Beano's using a new cream.
- I tried it last week...
407
00:25:26,485 --> 00:25:28,976
...the technology conference.
It's the best.
408
00:25:29,196 --> 00:25:33,858
- The dais still exits through here, right?
- You can go in and stand in the back.
409
00:25:34,034 --> 00:25:37,617
She's trying not to scare somebody.
Would you leave the child alone?
410
00:25:37,829 --> 00:25:40,949
- I'm trying to feed her.
- Twenty-two years in Washington D. C...
411
00:25:41,124 --> 00:25:44,291
...spent all in the kitchen. He doesn't
know how the place works.
412
00:25:44,461 --> 00:25:49,503
Maybe I could learn something if I beat
you about the head with a sturdy ladle.
413
00:25:51,969 --> 00:25:54,127
- Ellen?
- Wow.
414
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:56,630
You know what you are?
The little aide who could.
415
00:25:56,807 --> 00:26:00,140
- She wasn't on the dais.
- She had to cancel. I read a letter.
416
00:26:00,310 --> 00:26:03,644
Ellen, here's the situation.
I've been asked...
417
00:26:03,814 --> 00:26:06,934
Excuse me, it's Josh.
Yeah.
418
00:26:07,734 --> 00:26:09,941
That's great. Who?
419
00:26:10,112 --> 00:26:13,695
All right. We've got two yes votes,
McMichael and Schapp.
420
00:26:13,866 --> 00:26:17,697
The senator can come out
of the woods. I'm coming in.
421
00:26:21,874 --> 00:26:24,791
Here's an inauguration joke
about the first Jewish president.
422
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,585
His mother leans over and says:
423
00:26:26,753 --> 00:26:29,790
"You see that guy with his hand raised?
His brother's a doctor."
424
00:26:29,965 --> 00:26:31,293
- That's good.
- You like it?
425
00:26:31,466 --> 00:26:34,171
If the president's been booked
into Ha-Ha's in Cleveland.
426
00:26:34,344 --> 00:26:36,835
- It wasn't for the speech.
- Then why did you tell it?
427
00:26:37,014 --> 00:26:40,050
- Sometimes people tell jokes.
- It was funny. What do you want?
428
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:43,012
That's exactly the reaction
I was hoping to elicit.
429
00:26:43,187 --> 00:26:47,398
Does it bother you that for all
the bashing, the voters are no bargain.
430
00:26:47,566 --> 00:26:49,025
- No.
- Why?
431
00:26:49,193 --> 00:26:51,399
I make a living writing jokes.
Not a good one.
432
00:26:51,570 --> 00:26:54,903
They think you can have more spending
and cut taxes at the same time.
433
00:26:55,073 --> 00:26:57,909
It takes two politicians running
against each other saying:
434
00:26:58,076 --> 00:27:00,069
"It won't happen,
but here's what I'll do."
435
00:27:00,245 --> 00:27:02,368
- Is that all it takes?
- When we were kids...
436
00:27:02,539 --> 00:27:05,789
...you'd never shut up about
the founders. This is what they wanted.
437
00:27:05,959 --> 00:27:10,123
Clearly, you weren't listening much.
The founders were scared of the people.
438
00:27:10,297 --> 00:27:11,708
They gave them the guns.
439
00:27:11,882 --> 00:27:14,420
You know the picture
of Dad's father with Churchill?
440
00:27:14,593 --> 00:27:18,128
He said the best argument against
democracy was five minutes with a voter.
441
00:27:18,305 --> 00:27:20,048
- Grandpa said that?
- Churchill.
442
00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:22,015
- It doesn't sound like Grandpa.
- Thank you for the coffee.
443
00:27:22,184 --> 00:27:23,559
- Willy?
- Don't call me that.
444
00:27:23,727 --> 00:27:26,300
You took a guy's office
who became part of the family.
445
00:27:26,522 --> 00:27:29,855
They'll stop with the bicycles,
Seaborn posters and the cold shoulder.
446
00:27:30,067 --> 00:27:33,649
- Yeah, I'm all right. I'm focused.
- Hey, cool goat. When did you get it?
447
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:36,358
Professional comedian, Elsie...
448
00:27:38,283 --> 00:27:42,661
I think it's great that you keep oats
in the office, just in case.
449
00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:47,242
- When these people find out that kind...
- Leave me now. I'm focused. Please.
450
00:27:47,417 --> 00:27:49,493
Sure.
451
00:27:53,173 --> 00:27:54,632
Hey, what's going on?
452
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,216
Well, Donna tried to flush her out.
She did it well, but...
453
00:27:58,387 --> 00:28:00,925
- What?
- She named names.
454
00:28:01,098 --> 00:28:05,511
So her staff made two phone calls,
and Hardin dove back under the bed.
455
00:28:09,439 --> 00:28:11,977
Well, you were right. Hoebuck's crazy.
456
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:15,401
- What did he want?
- A hundred and fifteen thousand dollars.
457
00:28:15,571 --> 00:28:18,358
- Million.
- No, thousand.
458
00:28:18,532 --> 00:28:20,857
- For what?
- It doesn't matter.
459
00:28:21,034 --> 00:28:24,119
- For what?
- An NIH study on remote prayer.
460
00:28:24,913 --> 00:28:27,583
- You're kidding.
- He brought a Duke cardiologist...
461
00:28:27,749 --> 00:28:30,916
A hundred and fifteen thousand,
he votes yes on foreign ops?
462
00:28:31,086 --> 00:28:34,870
- It's the government investing in...
- I don't care if it's communion wafers.
463
00:28:35,090 --> 00:28:37,759
- It's the government...
- We'll deal with it tomorrow.
464
00:28:37,926 --> 00:28:41,378
- Well, I already dealt with it today.
- Not yet, and the clock's running.
465
00:28:41,555 --> 00:28:43,713
I'm going to Leo.
466
00:28:53,108 --> 00:28:57,188
I had asked an assistant I know
to give it special attention.
467
00:28:58,322 --> 00:29:02,236
I don't know the woman or anything,
it wasn't patronage.
468
00:29:06,788 --> 00:29:09,326
But I was...
469
00:29:10,334 --> 00:29:12,125
You know.
470
00:29:14,171 --> 00:29:16,210
I was...
471
00:29:16,381 --> 00:29:18,955
...showing off for Zoey.
472
00:29:25,557 --> 00:29:28,807
There are a couple of thousand
military families on food stamps.
473
00:29:28,977 --> 00:29:33,723
I can't stand it. The Pentagon knows it.
Some families are eligible, some aren't...
474
00:29:33,899 --> 00:29:36,734
...but to change it, they'd have
to raise everyone's pay...
475
00:29:36,902 --> 00:29:40,650
...which they can't do. This memo's a
reminder. It's a get-off-our-backs memo.
476
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:43,574
And you thought you were
done with turf wars.
477
00:29:43,742 --> 00:29:48,238
- Did it cause any damage?
- Decommissioned two aircraft carriers.
478
00:29:48,413 --> 00:29:50,951
- Really?
- No.
479
00:29:51,625 --> 00:29:53,783
Thank you, Mr. President.
I'll be outside.
480
00:29:53,961 --> 00:29:57,330
- Zoey's growing up nicely, isn't she?
- Yes, she is.
481
00:30:01,385 --> 00:30:04,386
I'm on your side in this thing,
but just by a little bit.
482
00:30:04,596 --> 00:30:06,470
- Because he's French and royal.
- Yes.
483
00:30:06,682 --> 00:30:09,848
These are very special circumstances
under which we're allies.
484
00:30:10,394 --> 00:30:12,137
Understood, sir.
485
00:30:12,312 --> 00:30:14,222
- You still got it?
- Sir?
486
00:30:14,439 --> 00:30:17,191
- The letter from the rope line.
- Yes, sir.
487
00:30:17,568 --> 00:30:21,186
- Put it in my bag tonight.
- Yes, sir.
488
00:30:22,489 --> 00:30:25,111
- Mr. President.
- Mr. McGarry. Mr. Ziegler.
489
00:30:25,284 --> 00:30:29,032
Mr. Lyman. Miss Cregg.
It's The Temptations. I love you guys.
490
00:30:29,246 --> 00:30:31,654
You think you've heard everything,
but you haven't.
491
00:30:32,332 --> 00:30:33,743
- Hit me.
- Toby.
492
00:30:33,917 --> 00:30:37,832
James Hoebuck will vote yea at 10:30
if we give him $ 115,000.
493
00:30:38,046 --> 00:30:40,834
- Million?
- Thousand. 115,000.
494
00:30:41,049 --> 00:30:44,253
- For an RV? What's he want?
- An NIH study on remote prayer.
495
00:30:44,928 --> 00:30:47,882
I like it. There should be a button
on my desk I can press...
496
00:30:48,056 --> 00:30:49,848
...and 49 people pray for me.
497
00:30:50,017 --> 00:30:51,926
I got prayed for by 3 million people.
498
00:30:52,102 --> 00:30:53,727
- How'd it work out?
- Good for me.
499
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:55,888
Can't vouch for what
they were praying for.
500
00:30:56,106 --> 00:30:58,348
- Well, that's the problem.
- Excuse me.
501
00:30:58,525 --> 00:31:01,941
- Yes.
- The Earth is rotating rapidly on its axis.
502
00:31:02,905 --> 00:31:05,312
Okay, well, good news.
Keep us posted on that.
503
00:31:05,532 --> 00:31:06,991
We're moving into 8:00 now.
504
00:31:07,201 --> 00:31:10,985
- Is there something I should be doing?
- We should talk about Jimmy Hoebuck.
505
00:31:11,163 --> 00:31:14,117
Wait, you guys didn't come in here
to tell me something funny?
506
00:31:14,333 --> 00:31:16,456
Three of us did.
507
00:31:20,297 --> 00:31:23,880
You are the wild card, my friend,
because you...
508
00:31:24,051 --> 00:31:27,883
You will throw out the baby and the
bath water at curtain time if it means...
509
00:31:28,055 --> 00:31:29,846
- Excuse me.
- Feel free to interrupt.
510
00:31:30,057 --> 00:31:33,675
Do you think the people who get
this money care about an NIH study?
511
00:31:33,894 --> 00:31:37,179
I don't care if they care, I care!
And by the way, so do you.
512
00:31:37,356 --> 00:31:41,899
A hundred and fifteen thousand
is what Commerce spends on Post-its.
513
00:31:43,362 --> 00:31:45,235
- Toby?
- Threats to civil liberties...
514
00:31:45,405 --> 00:31:48,609
...only ever come a few dollars at a time.
515
00:31:49,952 --> 00:31:52,277
It's a medical study.
516
00:31:52,454 --> 00:31:55,455
The Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
doesn't prohibit radiation therapy.
517
00:31:55,624 --> 00:31:58,744
Sufi Muslims, Orthodox Jews,
Indian shamans...
518
00:31:58,919 --> 00:32:01,624
It works with everybody.
It's not promoting Christianity.
519
00:32:01,797 --> 00:32:04,714
Well, in my faith, we've known
it's worked for 2000 years.
520
00:32:04,883 --> 00:32:07,172
I never knew there was
data available, but okay.
521
00:32:07,386 --> 00:32:09,129
- Anything else, sir?
- No.
522
00:32:09,346 --> 00:32:12,264
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.
523
00:32:12,474 --> 00:32:14,930
- Maxine?
- That's you.
524
00:32:15,102 --> 00:32:16,976
I know.
525
00:32:22,734 --> 00:32:27,562
- I apologize for interrupting before.
- I don't care. What I was gonna say...
526
00:32:27,739 --> 00:32:30,065
I'll toss it all overboard
if it means winning...
527
00:32:30,242 --> 00:32:34,370
...and I think that's not true, and I'd ask
you to support that with evidence.
528
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:38,494
I'm sorry, I don't know
why I keep doing that.
529
00:32:42,838 --> 00:32:46,337
You're not willing to toss
it overboard to win.
530
00:32:46,508 --> 00:32:50,423
You're willing to toss it overboard
to avoid disappointing Leo.
531
00:32:52,723 --> 00:32:54,929
Know what the difference
is between you and me?
532
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:59,228
I wanna be the guy. You wanna
be the guy the guy counts on.
533
00:33:05,152 --> 00:33:08,236
- We lost.
- We know.
534
00:33:13,368 --> 00:33:17,117
We can introduce another
continuing resolution. Ninety days.
535
00:33:18,290 --> 00:33:20,995
- And work down?
- Seventy-five percent of current funding?
536
00:33:21,210 --> 00:33:24,460
- If we can get it.
- You understand if we introduce...
537
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:28,295
...another continuing resolution,
about 10 Democrats will jump on...
538
00:33:28,467 --> 00:33:30,709
...as a reason to vote no on this.
539
00:33:30,886 --> 00:33:33,555
It means losing 60-40 instead of 51-49.
540
00:33:33,722 --> 00:33:38,016
When I lose, I don't look for consolation
in the score, and I know you don't.
541
00:33:38,185 --> 00:33:41,102
So it's what we should do, right?
542
00:33:42,147 --> 00:33:44,021
Yeah.
543
00:33:44,650 --> 00:33:47,651
All right, tough beat.
544
00:33:47,819 --> 00:33:52,481
- It's an unbelievably tough beat.
- Yes, sir.
545
00:33:54,243 --> 00:33:57,528
- Zoey's growing up nicely, isn't she?
- Man, I'll say.
546
00:34:01,124 --> 00:34:04,078
I go for kiss-ass today,
and the ball goes in the gutter.
547
00:34:04,503 --> 00:34:07,076
- Anything else?
- Thank you, Mr. President.
548
00:34:16,765 --> 00:34:19,386
I said the names.
549
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,932
It didn't matter.
She knows how to count to 51.
550
00:34:22,104 --> 00:34:27,229
It would've loosened things up
for an hour. I'm sorry.
551
00:34:27,401 --> 00:34:29,643
Shake it off.
552
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:34,316
And don't listen to the naysayers,
you've got a big future as a stalker.
553
00:34:34,491 --> 00:34:37,575
I always felt like I had the makings.
554
00:34:38,537 --> 00:34:41,621
I just had an interesting moment.
555
00:34:41,790 --> 00:34:44,910
I just recommended to the president
that he buy a yea vote...
556
00:34:45,085 --> 00:34:48,121
...for $ 115,000 and the Bill of Rights.
557
00:34:48,297 --> 00:34:50,005
Don't you mean 115 million?
558
00:34:50,174 --> 00:34:55,678
Jimmy Hoebuck wanted to fund a study
on remote prayer for $ 115,000.
559
00:34:55,846 --> 00:34:59,713
- Is it me, or is this getting harder?
- It's getting harder.
560
00:35:01,185 --> 00:35:03,094
I'd say we're gonna
make more enemies...
561
00:35:03,270 --> 00:35:05,843
...but I don't know if anybody's
left on the list.
562
00:35:06,064 --> 00:35:09,231
You took funding for remote prayer
to the president?
563
00:35:09,443 --> 00:35:11,020
Oh, I did it with gusto.
564
00:35:11,236 --> 00:35:13,063
Because you don't know
the story of"Fishhooks" McCarthy.
565
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,438
Is this a real person or a Donna person?
566
00:35:15,616 --> 00:35:18,367
A corrupt politician
on the Lower East Side in the '20s.
567
00:35:18,535 --> 00:35:22,118
Every morning, he stopped
at St. James Church on Oliver Street...
568
00:35:22,289 --> 00:35:25,325
...and said the same prayer,
"Lord, give me health and strength.
569
00:35:25,501 --> 00:35:27,160
We'll steal the rest."
570
00:35:27,794 --> 00:35:30,167
Not that there needs to be,
but was there a point?
571
00:35:30,339 --> 00:35:32,627
You've got health
and strength, both of which...
572
00:35:32,799 --> 00:35:35,884
...I prayed for after hot lead
was shot into your body.
573
00:35:36,053 --> 00:35:39,219
Yeah, and you're gonna need
some kryptonite, by the way.
574
00:35:39,389 --> 00:35:42,094
Okay, settle down.
575
00:35:42,809 --> 00:35:45,894
- All right.
- So you've got health and strength.
576
00:35:48,732 --> 00:35:51,935
- And we'll steal the rest?
- Bet your ass.
577
00:35:52,110 --> 00:35:53,854
All right.
578
00:35:55,656 --> 00:35:57,779
Good work tonight.
579
00:36:00,327 --> 00:36:02,948
- Hi.
- What's up, Mr. Daley?
580
00:36:03,121 --> 00:36:04,865
- Bailey.
- Bill Bailey?
581
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:06,618
Will Bailey.
582
00:36:06,792 --> 00:36:10,042
If we're lucky, foreign aid's gonna
be funded for another 90 days...
583
00:36:10,212 --> 00:36:12,537
...at 75 cents on the dollar.
584
00:36:12,714 --> 00:36:16,249
No one who has ever said they wanted
bipartisanship has ever meant it.
585
00:36:16,426 --> 00:36:18,253
But the people are speaking.
586
00:36:18,428 --> 00:36:24,015
Because 68ş% ş think we give too much
in aid, and 59ş% ş think it should be cut.
587
00:36:24,184 --> 00:36:25,513
- You like that stat.
- I do.
588
00:36:25,686 --> 00:36:27,429
- Why?
- Because 9 percent...
589
00:36:27,604 --> 00:36:29,763
...think it's too high
and shouldn't be cut!
590
00:36:29,982 --> 00:36:33,516
Nine percent of respondents could not
get their arms around the question.
591
00:36:33,735 --> 00:36:35,775
There should be a box
you can check for:
592
00:36:35,946 --> 00:36:39,991
"I have utterly no idea what you're
talking about. Don't ask for my input."
593
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,193
Why is foreign aid important?
594
00:36:42,369 --> 00:36:45,405
- It fosters democracies.
- There you go.
595
00:36:45,581 --> 00:36:47,953
Well, well-played, young man.
Very good. Yes, yes.
596
00:36:48,125 --> 00:36:50,960
You realize, for a second there,
you changed voices?
597
00:36:51,128 --> 00:36:53,619
Someone said,"The best argument
against democracy...
598
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:55,375
...is five minutes with a voter."
599
00:36:55,549 --> 00:36:58,669
Churchill. He said,"Democracy
is the worst form of government...
600
00:36:58,844 --> 00:37:00,386
...except for all the others."
601
00:37:00,554 --> 00:37:03,045
I'll work with you
on the legislative section.
602
00:37:03,223 --> 00:37:07,221
- But after the vote. We'll get some food.
- Yes. Excuse me, please.
603
00:37:08,937 --> 00:37:12,805
Excuse me. You put a goat in my office,
and I just want you to know...
604
00:37:12,983 --> 00:37:15,474
...that I stand here with full humor
and total focus.
605
00:37:15,652 --> 00:37:17,028
Fill my office with bicycles.
606
00:37:17,196 --> 00:37:19,568
Cover the windows
with Seaborn posters.
607
00:37:19,781 --> 00:37:23,826
You can bring in 101 dalmatians.
I'm focused on what I'm doing.
608
00:37:24,286 --> 00:37:26,859
- Who are you?
- I'm Will Bailey.
609
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,990
- C.J. Cregg.
- It's very nice to meet you.
610
00:37:29,208 --> 00:37:31,912
- I didn't put the goat in your office.
- You didn't?
611
00:37:32,085 --> 00:37:37,424
I put it in the office of a new guy Toby
and Josh are giving a hard time to. Wait.
612
00:37:37,591 --> 00:37:40,082
You understand I'm working
on the inaugural address?
613
00:37:40,302 --> 00:37:44,086
- How's that going?
- There are bikes and goats in my office!
614
00:37:44,723 --> 00:37:47,890
All right. Any care and feeding
I should know about?
615
00:37:48,101 --> 00:37:49,893
The goat has a handler. I'll get it...
616
00:37:50,062 --> 00:37:54,439
No, I'll take my hazing like the Eton
valedictorian I am. What's his name?
617
00:37:54,650 --> 00:37:56,310
- Which one?
- The handler.
618
00:37:56,485 --> 00:37:58,109
- Mike.
- The goat has a name?
619
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,229
- Ron.
- Thank you.
620
00:38:09,623 --> 00:38:12,328
Where do you learn to run out
the clock like that?
621
00:38:13,252 --> 00:38:14,912
The senator's voting
her conscience.
622
00:38:15,087 --> 00:38:18,503
She understands foreign aid.
She's supposed to do what's right.
623
00:38:18,715 --> 00:38:21,206
She's supposed to do
what the people think is right.
624
00:38:21,385 --> 00:38:24,255
Will you take this
and walk it to her on the floor?
625
00:38:24,471 --> 00:38:26,630
That's all you have to do.
626
00:38:28,767 --> 00:38:32,979
All time has expired. The yeas and nays have been ordered.
627
00:38:34,857 --> 00:38:37,312
Win some, you lose some.
628
00:38:39,069 --> 00:38:41,477
Can I tell you something?
629
00:38:41,655 --> 00:38:43,861
Josh has asked me
to work Saturdays, Sundays...
630
00:38:44,032 --> 00:38:45,776
...and he has me there
after 1 a.m.
631
00:38:45,951 --> 00:38:49,035
He's asked me to transpose portions
of the budget into base 8...
632
00:38:49,246 --> 00:38:52,282
...go to North Dakota and dress
as an East German waitress.
633
00:38:52,749 --> 00:38:57,661
In five years working for him, he's never
asked me to hide him from something.
634
00:38:58,797 --> 00:39:01,632
Can I have my boss's phone back?
635
00:39:02,718 --> 00:39:04,295
Thank you.
636
00:39:04,887 --> 00:39:09,264
The question is on the passageof the bill. The clerk will call the roll.
637
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:11,679
- You having that?
- Yes.
638
00:39:11,852 --> 00:39:13,180
- All of it?
- Yes.
639
00:39:13,353 --> 00:39:14,682
- What about this?
- Yes.
640
00:39:14,855 --> 00:39:18,224
- I'm pointing at 23 packets of soy sauce.
- I give them to the homeless.
641
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,191
- Helpful.
- Talking through the vote?
642
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,353
You'll lose this 60-40.
Did I ruin the end?
643
00:39:22,529 --> 00:39:24,818
- Could you have this much sensitivity?
- No.
644
00:39:24,990 --> 00:39:26,318
- Why?
- Because you blew it.
645
00:39:26,491 --> 00:39:28,983
The Senate blew it.
We did everything but pass a hat.
646
00:39:29,161 --> 00:39:32,411
Nobody wants to put money in Botswana
when we got hats here!
647
00:39:32,623 --> 00:39:36,288
You can't make this about charity.
It's about self-interest.
648
00:39:36,460 --> 00:39:38,583
We cut farm assistance in Colombia.
649
00:39:38,795 --> 00:39:41,631
Every single crop we developed
was replaced with cocaine.
650
00:39:41,798 --> 00:39:45,167
We cut aid for primary education
in northwest Pakistan and Egypt...
651
00:39:45,344 --> 00:39:46,838
...the kids went to madrasahs.
652
00:39:47,054 --> 00:39:49,759
Why weren't you making a case
that Republican senators...
653
00:39:49,932 --> 00:39:52,339
...are bad on drugs
and bad on national security?
654
00:39:52,518 --> 00:39:56,302
Why are Democrats
always so bumfuzzled?
655
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,018
By the way, 65 more
flight schools today.
656
00:39:59,191 --> 00:40:03,058
Maisy hasn't found your guy.
Don't worry, there are thousands more.
657
00:40:03,237 --> 00:40:04,779
You know something, General Cho?
658
00:40:04,947 --> 00:40:08,779
If you had a story, you'd write it.
If you don't have one, shut up.
659
00:40:08,951 --> 00:40:11,524
We just lost a vote.
We're not bumfuzzled.
660
00:40:11,703 --> 00:40:17,327
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have to cancel a photo-op with a goat.
661
00:40:18,252 --> 00:40:21,288
-Mr. Conrad. -Yea.
662
00:40:24,341 --> 00:40:27,876
-Ms. DiAngelo. -Nay.
663
00:40:28,053 --> 00:40:31,137
-Mr. Dan Forrest. -Nay.
664
00:40:31,306 --> 00:40:34,426
Tough beat, everybody.
Thanks for the work.
665
00:40:34,601 --> 00:40:37,686
Next time, we let Josh do it
the way he wants.
666
00:40:38,939 --> 00:40:40,682
- Sir, have you met...?
- Bill Haley.
667
00:40:40,899 --> 00:40:42,939
- Will Bailey.
- Okay.
668
00:40:43,151 --> 00:40:45,144
- Good evening.
- When's this cow thing?
669
00:40:45,362 --> 00:40:47,189
- It's a goat now.
- Okay.
670
00:40:47,364 --> 00:40:48,989
We'll cancel it.
671
00:40:49,157 --> 00:40:51,150
- You think?
- A milking goat?
672
00:40:51,326 --> 00:40:55,573
It's gonna seem like
a parody of foreign aid.
673
00:40:55,747 --> 00:41:00,409
I don't know. I don't know, everybody,
C.J. wants to cancel the goat picture.
674
00:41:02,045 --> 00:41:05,212
Half the world's people live
on less than 2 dollars a day...
675
00:41:05,382 --> 00:41:09,676
...130 million will never step
inside a schoolhouse...
676
00:41:09,845 --> 00:41:13,428
...ingredients for bombs can be
purchased at hardware stores...
677
00:41:14,099 --> 00:41:18,428
...and we've just given the Third World
just what the doctor ordered: rollbacks.
678
00:41:20,147 --> 00:41:22,934
Heifer International,
they give free cows and goats...
679
00:41:23,108 --> 00:41:24,935
...to people who need milk?
- Yes, sir.
680
00:41:25,110 --> 00:41:27,482
Then I don't think we're in position
to be snotty.
681
00:41:27,654 --> 00:41:29,694
Let's do it. Let's do it right now.
682
00:41:29,907 --> 00:41:31,733
- Carol.
- They're right out here.
683
00:41:31,909 --> 00:41:33,367
I think this will work.
684
00:41:33,535 --> 00:41:36,904
I think it says,"Well, you're
impoverished, and while we don't care...
685
00:41:37,122 --> 00:41:39,530
...we don't want you
to go away empty-handed...
686
00:41:39,708 --> 00:41:41,701
...so we offer this goat
to give you milk."
687
00:41:41,877 --> 00:41:43,869
Do male goats give milk?
688
00:41:45,339 --> 00:41:47,545
No. No, of course they don't.
689
00:41:47,716 --> 00:41:51,500
So we offer you this thing
that'll just gnaw on your stuff.
690
00:41:52,221 --> 00:41:56,301
I'm not standing in this picture alone.
This was a total team failure.
691
00:41:56,475 --> 00:41:59,048
Stand where you want,
but I want my chief of staff...
692
00:41:59,228 --> 00:42:02,561
...and my chief political adviser
standing near the goat. Let's go!
693
00:42:05,817 --> 00:42:07,894
Hang on a second.
694
00:42:08,862 --> 00:42:11,780
May I? Thank you.
695
00:42:19,122 --> 00:42:23,037
- Now we're ready.
- Let's go.
696
00:42:23,210 --> 00:42:26,330
Set that clock for 90 days.61721
