Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,809 --> 00:00:07,137
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,310 --> 00:00:10,808
You understand you're looking at
possible injury to separation of powers.
3
00:00:11,021 --> 00:00:14,804
They're balloon animals. My nephews
like them, so I got someone to teach me.
4
00:00:15,024 --> 00:00:16,980
- Are they abstract?
- I'm a beginner.
5
00:00:17,192 --> 00:00:20,441
He's killed innocent people.
He'll kill more, we have to end him.
6
00:00:20,611 --> 00:00:23,315
- Says who?
- Says me, Mr. President.
7
00:00:23,488 --> 00:00:26,108
You wanna go ask some more people,
they'll say so too.
8
00:00:31,618 --> 00:00:33,278
This is a little humiliating.
9
00:00:33,453 --> 00:00:35,943
It wasn't a discussion to have
in front of the group.
10
00:00:36,121 --> 00:00:38,244
You're right about that,
and I apologize.
11
00:00:38,415 --> 00:00:39,743
Do you accept?
12
00:00:39,916 --> 00:00:41,991
I think she was apologizing
to you, senator.
13
00:00:42,167 --> 00:00:43,542
- I was.
- I'd accept.
14
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:47,700
I believe in this case, on this point,
you're the servant of two masters.
15
00:00:47,879 --> 00:00:50,998
As sexy as that possibility sounds,
it's just not true, Susan.
16
00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:55,549
The relationships with Josh Lyman, C.J.
Cregg, the first lady, with the president.
17
00:00:55,718 --> 00:00:59,252
Can we return to the issue at hand?
I'm going out of my mind with you two.
18
00:00:59,429 --> 00:01:01,754
You should call for funding
of needle exchange...
19
00:01:01,931 --> 00:01:04,468
...in the cities with
the highest incidence of AIDS.
20
00:01:04,641 --> 00:01:06,929
- Ritchie has given you a perfect opening.
- When?
21
00:01:07,101 --> 00:01:10,433
Right now. At the AMA.
We've got an advance copy of the text.
22
00:01:10,645 --> 00:01:12,554
That's what we were arguing about.
23
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,305
- What does he say?
-"We ought to begin and end...
24
00:01:15,482 --> 00:01:19,063
...with abstinence. We ought to begin
and end with personal responsibility.
25
00:01:19,234 --> 00:01:22,982
I am appalled by inner-city programs
that hand out clean needles to junkies...
26
00:01:23,154 --> 00:01:25,560
...and dope-doers
in the name of AIDS prevention...
27
00:01:25,739 --> 00:01:28,774
...and I will fight for a national law
to end them."
28
00:01:29,158 --> 00:01:30,651
Amy?
29
00:01:30,826 --> 00:01:33,826
It's baiting the hook.
That's why they sent an advance copy.
30
00:01:33,994 --> 00:01:38,157
Yeah. But didn't I get in it to talk about
things like this? Why not take the bait?
31
00:01:38,331 --> 00:01:39,706
The bait's for the president.
32
00:01:39,873 --> 00:01:42,542
Ritchie wants you to respond
so the president has to.
33
00:01:42,709 --> 00:01:45,744
I thought the aim was to discuss
issues that aren't discussed...
34
00:01:45,919 --> 00:01:47,911
...not run pass blocking
for the president.
35
00:01:48,087 --> 00:01:52,380
I feel like Susan has a point. It's an
opportunity to get into debate about it.
36
00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:54,250
If it was just me nobody'd listen.
37
00:01:54,425 --> 00:01:57,674
Why do you think the Committee to
Re-elect needs us to protect them?
38
00:01:57,844 --> 00:01:59,919
And if Ritchie's strategy
is what you say...
39
00:02:00,096 --> 00:02:02,502
...won't Josh Lyman figure it out
in five minutes?
40
00:02:02,722 --> 00:02:04,549
It'll take his assistant five minutes.
41
00:02:04,724 --> 00:02:06,550
- It'll take Josh half that.
- Really?
44
00:02:13,396 --> 00:02:15,721
You have a three run lead,
just throw strikes.
45
00:02:15,898 --> 00:02:18,056
- I mean, my God.
- Honestly.
46
00:02:18,233 --> 00:02:19,691
- Yes.
- You wanna see the wires?
47
00:02:19,859 --> 00:02:23,144
I'll tell you something else.
With a scoring threat on first...
48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,691
...and a batter
who'll be intentionally passed...
49
00:02:25,905 --> 00:02:29,522
...why not just pitch out four times?
- It makes me nutsy.
50
00:02:29,699 --> 00:02:32,106
- What are the wires?
- The standoff in lowa...
51
00:02:32,284 --> 00:02:34,988
...the final recommendation
from the Debate Commission...
52
00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:36,869
...and Ritchie to the AMA.
53
00:02:37,079 --> 00:02:39,285
- Give me the AMA.
- And you have senior staff.
54
00:02:39,456 --> 00:02:42,906
You know, there comes a day
in every man's life, and it's a hard day...
55
00:02:43,083 --> 00:02:47,246
...but there comes a day when he realizes
he'll never play professional baseball.
56
00:02:47,461 --> 00:02:50,165
- You're just having that day today?
- Yes, I am.
57
00:02:50,380 --> 00:02:52,917
You understand you're gonna
walk the guy anyway...
58
00:02:53,090 --> 00:02:56,126
...you'll throw four balls, why not just...?
- Pitch out?
59
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:59,046
Yeah, why not just...?
You know, to...
60
00:02:59,219 --> 00:03:01,093
...catch the runner.
61
00:03:01,930 --> 00:03:03,673
What is it?
62
00:03:10,519 --> 00:03:13,768
I know how Ritchie's gonna win
this election.
63
00:04:02,638 --> 00:04:07,014
Red Mass, Red Mass, Red Mass,
you say. Red Mass is at...
64
00:04:07,183 --> 00:04:09,851
Right, 10:00 at the Shrine
of the lmmaculate Conception.
65
00:04:11,519 --> 00:04:14,519
Also what they called my college dorm.
But seriously. Katie?
66
00:04:14,688 --> 00:04:18,387
When do you think the debate issue
will be settled? Then I have a follow-up.
67
00:04:18,566 --> 00:04:21,186
The president believes in debates.
The more the better.
68
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:25,142
He asked for five, Ritchie asked for two.
The president said,"How about four?"
69
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320
Ritchie said,"Two." We're
waiting to hear from the commission.
70
00:04:28,489 --> 00:04:31,489
The follow up is,"What would be
considered a debate win?"
71
00:04:31,658 --> 00:04:34,658
At this point, participating in one
would be a victory.
72
00:04:34,827 --> 00:04:36,368
I want to ask the same question.
73
00:04:36,536 --> 00:04:38,575
- Which was?
- What would be a victory?
74
00:04:38,746 --> 00:04:40,288
- 270 electoral votes.
- Seriously.
75
00:04:40,456 --> 00:04:43,989
Seriously. We'll be heading to
Rock Creek Park at 2:30. Thank you.
76
00:04:45,751 --> 00:04:47,873
I know how Ritchie's gonna win
this election.
77
00:04:48,044 --> 00:04:49,704
So do I. What's your way?
78
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,547
Overcoming perversely low expectations.
What's your way?
79
00:04:52,714 --> 00:04:54,920
Making the president run
Stackhouse's campaign.
80
00:04:55,091 --> 00:04:57,166
- What happened?
- We're going to the meeting.
81
00:04:57,384 --> 00:04:58,759
- Treasury scored it?
- Yes.
82
00:04:58,927 --> 00:05:01,880
- OMB says it's revenue neutral?
- Yes.
83
00:05:02,054 --> 00:05:05,671
- NEC, DPC, the advisors?
- Yes, sir.
84
00:05:05,848 --> 00:05:07,804
- Joint Tax on the Hill?
- Yes.
85
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:11,342
All right. All right.
Let's line up validators.
86
00:05:11,518 --> 00:05:12,846
- Good.
- Sir?
87
00:05:13,019 --> 00:05:15,592
- Yeah?
- Toby, Josh, Merry Christmas.
88
00:05:15,771 --> 00:05:19,222
- He says let's line up the validators.
- And update our r�sum�s.
89
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,557
- Sam, that'll be you, okay?
- Yeah.
90
00:05:21,734 --> 00:05:24,568
- I can do it.
- Stay on debate prep.
91
00:05:25,903 --> 00:05:27,527
What? You're doing the face.
92
00:05:27,696 --> 00:05:31,029
Needle exchange,
in a speech to the AMA.
93
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:33,903
"We ought to begin and end
with abstinence.
94
00:05:34,117 --> 00:05:36,786
We ought to begin and end
with personal responsibility."
95
00:05:36,953 --> 00:05:41,328
I'd like someone to ask him if he's aware
that needle exchange costs $9000...
96
00:05:41,497 --> 00:05:44,166
...for every infection stopped.
97
00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:47,997
Treating someone with HIV costs
200,000. I'd like someone to ask that.
98
00:05:48,169 --> 00:05:51,003
I'd like someone to ask him
where the responsibility was...
99
00:05:51,171 --> 00:05:54,918
...in paraphernalia laws that made
it illegal to buy or carry a syringe...
100
00:05:55,090 --> 00:05:58,256
...which is why addicts share
infected needles in the first place.
101
00:05:58,426 --> 00:06:00,216
I'd like someone to ask him that too.
102
00:06:00,385 --> 00:06:02,045
- All done?
- For the moment.
103
00:06:02,262 --> 00:06:04,834
It's really only an issue
if Stackhouse responds.
104
00:06:06,223 --> 00:06:09,009
- But if he does...
- Will he?
105
00:06:09,767 --> 00:06:11,474
- I don't know.
- Will he?
106
00:06:11,685 --> 00:06:14,092
I don't know. If he does,
we can't come out for it.
107
00:06:14,270 --> 00:06:16,392
Bruno thinks we'll put
three states in play.
108
00:06:16,563 --> 00:06:18,223
- Ohio, Michigan...?
- And Maine.
109
00:06:18,398 --> 00:06:20,970
They're iffy about me in Maine.
I don't know why.
110
00:06:21,150 --> 00:06:24,648
It's a mystery, sir. You can't come out
against either, you'll alienate...
111
00:06:24,819 --> 00:06:26,312
- Heroin addicts?
- Liberals.
112
00:06:26,528 --> 00:06:29,232
Whatever. Let's worry about
if Stackhouse does something.
113
00:06:29,405 --> 00:06:31,113
Okay, but then I'll be very worried.
114
00:06:31,323 --> 00:06:32,947
Anything else?
115
00:06:33,116 --> 00:06:35,606
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you.
116
00:06:37,953 --> 00:06:41,783
I'd like someone to ask him about
responsibility in cutting drug treatment...
117
00:06:41,955 --> 00:06:43,947
...that would eliminate
needle-related HIV.
118
00:06:44,124 --> 00:06:47,823
Half of all people who get infected
by HIV get infected by the needle.
119
00:06:48,001 --> 00:06:51,784
I'd like someone to ask how he thinks
the personal responsibility plan's going.
120
00:06:51,962 --> 00:06:53,789
Sure, but let's talk
about the debates.
121
00:06:53,964 --> 00:06:56,454
When you say we want five debates,
say what they are.
122
00:06:56,632 --> 00:07:01,625
Economy, foreign policy, global threats
and national security, the environment...
123
00:07:01,802 --> 00:07:05,419
...and one on family life, including
health care, education and retirement.
124
00:07:05,597 --> 00:07:08,632
There should be one on
parts of speech and sentence structure.
125
00:07:08,807 --> 00:07:12,009
- And one on fractions.
- Is there any chance I'll get to speak...
126
00:07:12,184 --> 00:07:15,268
...in this conversation,
or are you just writing out loud?
127
00:07:15,687 --> 00:07:17,264
I didn't even know you were here.
128
00:07:17,438 --> 00:07:21,648
Toby, I'm absolutely terrified
we're gonna lose the expectations game.
129
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:25,018
You can't believe how often they ask:
"What would be a debate win?"
130
00:07:25,193 --> 00:07:28,359
At this point I feel like if...
And only if Ritchie accidentally...
131
00:07:28,529 --> 00:07:32,360
...lights his podium on fire, does
the president have a fighting chance.
132
00:07:32,573 --> 00:07:34,565
- I disagree.
- Disagree, but I'm right.
133
00:07:34,742 --> 00:07:38,110
These two men on stage answering
questions, that's the ball game.
134
00:07:38,327 --> 00:07:42,110
If the thing is he can't tie his shoes
and it turns out he can, that's the game.
135
00:07:42,288 --> 00:07:45,324
- I believe he needs to do more than that.
- Not much more.
136
00:07:45,499 --> 00:07:49,033
- What are you doing tomorrow?
- I'm going bike riding, as a matter of fact.
137
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:52,412
Then I'm meeting friends for lunch,
then I'm having my nails done.
138
00:07:52,587 --> 00:07:55,706
That sounds great, if only you were
actually doing those things.
139
00:07:55,881 --> 00:07:58,253
- Yeah, yeah. What?
- Teddy Tomba.
140
00:07:58,425 --> 00:07:59,883
- What about him?
- Well...
141
00:08:00,051 --> 00:08:04,795
...he has millions of followers worldwide,
has a $20-billion empire...
142
00:08:04,971 --> 00:08:07,176
...of self-help seminars...
- I know who he is.
143
00:08:07,347 --> 00:08:09,386
...workbooks, board games.
- Seminars?
144
00:08:09,557 --> 00:08:13,139
Capital Sheraton, tomorrow morning,
10 a.m. Your registration's prepaid.
145
00:08:13,310 --> 00:08:15,053
- Why?
- We're efficient.
146
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:16,971
Why am I going?
147
00:08:17,146 --> 00:08:19,553
He's consulted for Ritchie
in the last few weeks...
148
00:08:19,731 --> 00:08:22,221
...and I'd like that to be
embarrassing for Ritchie.
149
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,727
- Really?
- Yes.
150
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:26,521
That lacks a certain nobility of purpose,
doesn't it?
151
00:08:26,944 --> 00:08:28,272
I don't believe it does.
152
00:08:28,445 --> 00:08:31,564
Write down any key slogans
or philosophies or instructions.
153
00:08:31,781 --> 00:08:33,607
They'll be on a T-shirt, won't they?
154
00:08:33,824 --> 00:08:36,575
- Probably. You know what I want.
- Should I go in disguise?
155
00:08:36,742 --> 00:08:38,865
- As what?
- Somebody who'd go to these things.
156
00:08:39,036 --> 00:08:41,787
Meet me here at the office
when you're done.
157
00:08:45,081 --> 00:08:49,908
And in addition to being a good friend
to Israel, Leo McGarry, of course...
158
00:08:50,085 --> 00:08:53,204
...is the most Jewish man
most of us have ever met.
159
00:08:53,379 --> 00:08:58,584
For that he gets this yarmulke,
which has been crumpled up...
160
00:08:58,758 --> 00:09:01,841
...in my coat pocket
since a wedding in 1962.
161
00:09:02,051 --> 00:09:03,675
For everything else...
162
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:05,386
...the Medal of David.
163
00:09:05,554 --> 00:09:07,629
Thank you very much,
Mr. Foreign Minister.
164
00:09:08,347 --> 00:09:12,047
A thousand dead relatives in Scotland
just started crying.
165
00:09:12,225 --> 00:09:15,510
Thanks very much.
We're a little late for lunch.
166
00:09:15,686 --> 00:09:17,014
Thank you.
167
00:09:18,855 --> 00:09:22,803
What the hell is going on, Leo?
I'm reading Shareef is alive in Libya.
168
00:09:22,982 --> 00:09:24,310
That's you people, right?
169
00:09:24,483 --> 00:09:26,855
We're thinking about starting
our own tabloid.
170
00:09:27,444 --> 00:09:29,352
What's happening
at that house in Idaho?
171
00:09:29,529 --> 00:09:31,070
- Iowa.
- Which one's the potatoes?
172
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,728
Idaho. We've had the house surrounded
for 11 days.
173
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:37,440
- We're trying to negotiate a surrender.
- How long can their supplies last?
174
00:09:37,617 --> 00:09:40,653
These people live to be well-supplied,
it's their first love.
175
00:09:40,828 --> 00:09:42,535
- You got kids in there?
- Yeah.
176
00:09:42,704 --> 00:09:45,539
- I've gotta talk to you about something.
- Good afternoon.
177
00:09:45,706 --> 00:09:47,947
That person's very young
to be working here.
178
00:09:48,125 --> 00:09:51,078
That was probably an intern.
179
00:09:54,129 --> 00:09:57,164
Qumar is ready to announce
it was Israel.
180
00:09:57,339 --> 00:09:59,746
- We've known this was coming.
- Well, it's come.
181
00:09:59,924 --> 00:10:02,415
And I need to put it off,
at least another week.
182
00:10:02,635 --> 00:10:05,172
Israel has to immediately deny
the accusation.
183
00:10:05,345 --> 00:10:08,878
I don't want there to be an accusation.
I want it to wait another week.
184
00:10:09,097 --> 00:10:11,173
And what are you asking Israel
to give up...
185
00:10:11,349 --> 00:10:15,180
...in order to get them to delay
accusing us of something we didn't do?
186
00:10:15,393 --> 00:10:17,681
- Ben.
- I'm just saying. Tell me.
187
00:10:17,895 --> 00:10:21,144
You're planning to attack two Qumari
training bases in retaliation...
188
00:10:21,314 --> 00:10:22,724
- Yes, sir.
- Don't.
189
00:10:22,899 --> 00:10:24,440
That's out of the question.
190
00:10:24,608 --> 00:10:28,687
If you hold off, Fitzwallace can get
the Qumari defense minister...
191
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:30,900
...to have the sultan hold off a week.
192
00:10:31,112 --> 00:10:33,567
Leo, look at what's happening.
193
00:10:33,739 --> 00:10:37,652
They're getting you to pull us back
by continuing this preposterous lie.
194
00:10:37,825 --> 00:10:41,158
We're not the ones playing skeet shoot
with their cabinet.
195
00:10:41,328 --> 00:10:42,703
No, no, Ben.
196
00:10:43,287 --> 00:10:45,363
I think we're in this one together.
197
00:10:48,833 --> 00:10:51,537
Yes, I apologize for that remark.
198
00:10:52,294 --> 00:10:53,787
When are you flying back?
199
00:10:55,337 --> 00:10:56,796
Right after lunch.
200
00:10:56,964 --> 00:11:00,047
- You can fly on the Sabbath?
- If I have to.
201
00:11:01,216 --> 00:11:03,292
You'll take it to the prime minister?
202
00:11:03,468 --> 00:11:07,381
Leo, you know what you're doing?
You're advising the president well?
203
00:11:09,305 --> 00:11:11,974
A number of people
are advising the president.
204
00:11:12,849 --> 00:11:16,632
I'm only asking because right now...
205
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:18,933
...we're losing.
206
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:22,601
Will you take it to him?
207
00:11:22,773 --> 00:11:24,646
Yes.
208
00:11:31,988 --> 00:11:36,066
Yeah, a friend of mine, his son just got
his pilot's license and he lives in Phoenix.
209
00:11:37,741 --> 00:11:39,401
And his big fear isn't crashing...
210
00:11:39,576 --> 00:11:43,525
...it's getting lost in the desert.
So he bought five gallons of water...
211
00:11:43,704 --> 00:11:46,739
...a superpowered flashlight and...
212
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,906
I don't know,
a thing that makes pancakes...
213
00:11:49,083 --> 00:11:51,288
And now he's on
every survivalist mailing list?
214
00:11:51,459 --> 00:11:54,080
- That's right.
- Anyway, yes, they're well-supplied...
215
00:11:54,253 --> 00:11:56,541
...not endlessly supplied.
We can wait them out.
216
00:11:56,713 --> 00:11:58,041
Good.
217
00:11:58,214 --> 00:12:01,546
A guy told me I should take flying
lessons because it would relax me.
218
00:12:01,716 --> 00:12:04,918
- I don't think it would, do you?
- No, I think you of all people...
219
00:12:05,094 --> 00:12:07,050
...shouldn't fly things.
220
00:12:08,513 --> 00:12:10,588
- Senator...
- You brought the big guns.
221
00:12:10,806 --> 00:12:13,806
Not having any guns of my own.
Obviously you know John Baxley.
222
00:12:13,975 --> 00:12:16,346
Congressman Baxley,
Senators Jackson and White...
223
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:18,137
...Secretaries Weaver and Keaton.
224
00:12:18,311 --> 00:12:22,557
And you all probably know
Susan Thomas and Amelia Gardner.
225
00:12:22,731 --> 00:12:27,771
Howard, it's becoming hard for BFA staff
to plan strategy without knowing...
226
00:12:27,943 --> 00:12:31,145
...at exactly what hour you'll drop out
and endorse the president.
227
00:12:31,362 --> 00:12:33,270
What hour would be best for you,
Michael?
228
00:12:33,655 --> 00:12:36,275
I'm inconveniencing
one of my opponents?
229
00:12:37,241 --> 00:12:39,197
- Seriously.
- Yes?
230
00:12:39,367 --> 00:12:42,735
I was very happy that you did not
respond on needle exchange.
231
00:12:42,911 --> 00:12:44,784
I haven't responded
on needle exchange.
232
00:12:45,121 --> 00:12:46,994
And I'm saying I'm happy about that.
233
00:12:47,206 --> 00:12:49,910
No, I'm mean it's not that I didn't.
It's that I haven't.
234
00:12:50,124 --> 00:12:51,666
- Are you going to?
- I don't know.
235
00:12:51,834 --> 00:12:54,324
- Well, what's your thinking?
- Regarding what, Jason?
236
00:12:54,544 --> 00:12:57,497
- This doesn't need to be tedious.
- It was our understanding...
237
00:12:57,671 --> 00:13:01,253
...that the senator was going to drop out
and campaign for the president...
238
00:13:01,424 --> 00:13:03,748
...sometime before the first debate.
239
00:13:03,926 --> 00:13:05,834
- Have we had the first debate?
- No.
240
00:13:06,052 --> 00:13:08,803
And since the Sullivan ruling,
things have gotten murkier.
241
00:13:08,971 --> 00:13:11,639
You didn't get into this
to hurt the president, Howard.
242
00:13:11,848 --> 00:13:16,093
- I got in it to raise issues.
- And I'm all for that.
243
00:13:16,309 --> 00:13:18,634
As long as I don't in any way speak.
244
00:13:18,811 --> 00:13:21,479
Excuse me.
Now that I have you all sitting down...
245
00:13:21,646 --> 00:13:23,389
...I'll be right outside the door.
246
00:13:37,991 --> 00:13:39,449
- Do you need me?
- Yeah.
247
00:13:39,617 --> 00:13:41,692
Can you run to the staff
secretary's office?
248
00:13:41,868 --> 00:13:43,576
Ellen's not there.
Someone should be.
249
00:13:43,744 --> 00:13:45,736
Just take what needs
to be signed today.
250
00:13:45,954 --> 00:13:48,954
They'll try to give you a stack.
There's where you become a man.
251
00:13:49,165 --> 00:13:51,453
- Should I use sex as a tactic?
- If you need to.
252
00:13:51,792 --> 00:13:53,535
Hell, even if you just want to.
253
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:56,414
There are executive orders
I need to make sure are there.
254
00:13:56,587 --> 00:13:58,875
- Can you copy these down?
- Yeah.
255
00:14:05,926 --> 00:14:08,333
- Wanna know what I'm doing?
- How long'll this take?
256
00:14:08,511 --> 00:14:10,135
I don't know.
257
00:14:10,304 --> 00:14:12,178
- I'm leaving.
- Okay, see you.
258
00:14:12,514 --> 00:14:15,087
Emily, can you get me Mrs. Toscano
at Social Services?
259
00:14:15,266 --> 00:14:17,057
I'll be back in a few minutes.
260
00:14:22,896 --> 00:14:24,888
That makes you feel
like something, huh?
261
00:14:25,106 --> 00:14:27,431
That you got power over me?
262
00:14:27,608 --> 00:14:30,180
In two minutes
the deputy communications director...
263
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,191
...will come in and say the speech he's
writing for Red Mass isn't going well...
264
00:14:34,404 --> 00:14:35,898
...and could I read it for him.
265
00:14:36,072 --> 00:14:38,741
And you think you're
what makes me feel like something?
266
00:14:43,035 --> 00:14:44,743
- What's Red Mass?
- I didn't hear you.
267
00:14:44,911 --> 00:14:46,571
I said, what's Red Mass?
268
00:14:46,746 --> 00:14:49,699
The Supreme Court convenes
on the first Monday in October.
269
00:14:49,873 --> 00:14:53,490
On the Sunday before that, a mass
is held for the members of the court...
270
00:14:53,667 --> 00:14:55,375
...that's attended by the cabinet...
271
00:14:55,544 --> 00:14:58,460
...Congress and the president.
- What about church and state?
272
00:14:58,629 --> 00:15:01,499
I swear, I can't hear you
when you speak. Can you help me?
273
00:15:01,715 --> 00:15:03,920
- I said, it's church and state.
- What about it?
274
00:15:04,091 --> 00:15:06,249
- You're not supposed to do it.
- Who said that?
275
00:15:06,468 --> 00:15:07,962
- I'm talking about law.
- What law?
276
00:15:08,136 --> 00:15:12,428
You like to slap me because that's your
power thing, so I'll sit and say nothing.
277
00:15:15,641 --> 00:15:18,012
The law.
Separation of church and state.
278
00:15:18,226 --> 00:15:20,763
- Who told you that?
- You know what I'm talking about.
279
00:15:20,936 --> 00:15:22,928
The government and church
aren't supposed...
280
00:15:23,104 --> 00:15:25,641
- They shouldn't be the same.
- You think there's a law?
281
00:15:25,814 --> 00:15:27,438
- There is.
- What kind of law?
282
00:15:27,607 --> 00:15:29,480
- What the hell?
- City, state, federal?
283
00:15:29,650 --> 00:15:32,485
I don't know about those things,
but I know there's a law.
284
00:15:32,652 --> 00:15:33,980
Prove it.
285
00:15:38,865 --> 00:15:43,075
Charlie, I'm eating it on Red Mass
and I don't wanna show it to Toby yet.
286
00:15:43,243 --> 00:15:46,777
Would you mind reading it and then
hitting me with a fairway wood?
287
00:15:46,954 --> 00:15:48,496
Yep.
288
00:15:49,664 --> 00:15:50,992
Janet.
289
00:15:51,165 --> 00:15:53,287
Or Jeanette,
as I sometimes like to call you.
290
00:15:53,458 --> 00:15:55,581
Sometimes I call you"cupcake,"
is that okay?
291
00:15:55,752 --> 00:15:57,957
- Totally.
- Deductibility for tuition.
292
00:15:58,128 --> 00:16:00,286
- You had a briefing?
- Yes, and I'm so happy...
293
00:16:00,463 --> 00:16:03,582
...I could dance in a musical.
- That'd be a tough ticket to get.
294
00:16:03,757 --> 00:16:06,247
It's wonderful.
I can only assume it was your idea.
295
00:16:06,426 --> 00:16:09,544
It was Josh and Toby, but I can see
where you'd make the mistake.
296
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,379
It does have the flavor of me.
297
00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:13,096
- The insouciance.
- Yeah.
298
00:16:13,264 --> 00:16:15,505
- Guess what I've been asked to do.
- Validators.
299
00:16:15,682 --> 00:16:17,674
- Line up validators.
- And you're asking me?
300
00:16:17,850 --> 00:16:21,099
You're the third-ranking non-male
of the minority on Ways and Means.
301
00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:24,602
- When you say it like that...
- Economists will say it's good policy.
302
00:16:24,772 --> 00:16:27,309
Colleges will talk about
shrinking aid budgets.
303
00:16:27,482 --> 00:16:29,355
- Where do you want me?
- Sunday mornings.
304
00:16:29,525 --> 00:16:31,766
I'll make you a book.
Congratulations.
305
00:16:31,943 --> 00:16:33,769
- I'll do my best.
- Your best is good.
306
00:16:33,944 --> 00:16:37,811
Oh, I was just called. Horton Wilde is
in the hospital. He's had a heart attack.
307
00:16:37,989 --> 00:16:40,561
Horton Wilde isn't the same
as Thornton Wilder, is it?
308
00:16:40,782 --> 00:16:44,233
- I'm talking about California.
- If Thornton Wilder had a heart attack...
309
00:16:44,410 --> 00:16:47,196
...that'd be news.
- You don't know who Horton Wilde is.
310
00:16:47,412 --> 00:16:50,246
- He wrote Skin of Our Teeth.
- He's running in the 47th.
311
00:16:50,414 --> 00:16:52,122
How can you not know who he is?
312
00:16:52,457 --> 00:16:54,829
Has a Democrat won the 47th
in the last 100 years?
313
00:16:55,001 --> 00:16:56,115
- No.
- That's how.
314
00:16:56,293 --> 00:16:59,827
Maybe if when Democrats had the
White House, more attention was paid...
315
00:17:00,004 --> 00:17:03,170
- To Orange County? What kind?
- Knowing the candidate's name, say.
316
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:05,047
This was his fourth one, by the way.
317
00:17:05,216 --> 00:17:06,710
- Fourth what?
- Heart attack.
318
00:17:08,635 --> 00:17:11,125
The Democrats have nominated someone
who's had...
319
00:17:11,303 --> 00:17:12,845
...three heart attacks?
- Yes.
320
00:17:13,013 --> 00:17:15,005
And you think I don't care
enough about...?
321
00:17:15,181 --> 00:17:18,134
What kind of signal does this send to...?
I have to talk...
322
00:17:19,601 --> 00:17:21,308
No, this won't be a part of my life.
323
00:17:21,602 --> 00:17:23,927
Wow, you just did a whole thing
all by yourself.
324
00:17:24,104 --> 00:17:26,594
- Yeah, I do that.
- Thanks again for the opportunity.
325
00:17:26,772 --> 00:17:28,645
I'll pass it on to Leo.
326
00:17:28,857 --> 00:17:32,106
- Why do we think the boy is sick?
- Mike?
327
00:17:32,276 --> 00:17:35,229
Our thermal scanner shows no
movement in the last eight hours.
328
00:17:35,403 --> 00:17:38,771
With congestive heart failure,
you have to take the medication or die.
329
00:17:38,989 --> 00:17:42,855
Going by the last time the prescription
was filled, he's been out for six days.
330
00:17:43,033 --> 00:17:47,409
Mr. President, we feel the only way
to save this boy is to abandon our plan...
331
00:17:47,578 --> 00:17:50,448
...and take the house now.
We think we'll be successful.
332
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:54,205
- How do you do it?
- We put a hole in the wall with C-4.
333
00:17:54,375 --> 00:17:57,825
Twelve men storm the house wearing
specially made goggles and earplugs.
334
00:17:58,044 --> 00:18:00,712
- Why?
- Because they'll throw flashbangs.
335
00:18:00,921 --> 00:18:03,874
It's the size of a grenade
but instead of spraying shrapnel...
336
00:18:04,048 --> 00:18:06,538
...it makes a deafening sound
and releases a flash...
337
00:18:06,716 --> 00:18:08,874
...seven times brighter than the sun.
338
00:18:09,552 --> 00:18:12,966
- You hear that?
- I've seen them.
339
00:18:15,973 --> 00:18:18,012
Where's the table?
340
00:18:19,392 --> 00:18:20,720
We're...
341
00:18:20,893 --> 00:18:23,050
...all agreed, sir.
342
00:18:30,816 --> 00:18:33,057
All right, we should do it.
343
00:18:33,735 --> 00:18:36,735
Let's get the kid. Good luck, everybody.
Good luck, Mr. Casper.
344
00:18:36,904 --> 00:18:39,359
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.
345
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:51,821
What's going on?
346
00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:53,575
Nothing. I was...
347
00:18:53,749 --> 00:18:57,579
Nothing. I was thinking about
something Yosef said yesterday.
348
00:19:07,091 --> 00:19:08,419
Hello.
349
00:19:08,592 --> 00:19:10,252
Hello.
350
00:19:10,552 --> 00:19:13,042
- Is Susan Thomas...?
- Troubled?
351
00:19:13,262 --> 00:19:15,337
A pain in the ass?
352
00:19:16,347 --> 00:19:18,174
- What do you think of him?
- Stackhouse?
353
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:20,050
- Yes.
- I've always liked Stackhouse.
354
00:19:20,225 --> 00:19:25,051
I'd vote for him, but he's not on the
ballot in Connecticut. Or 22 other states.
355
00:19:25,479 --> 00:19:28,099
Perhaps I should vote in New York
or California...
356
00:19:28,272 --> 00:19:30,145
...where he's polling at four percent.
357
00:19:30,315 --> 00:19:32,473
- Of likely voters.
- I'm sorry?
358
00:19:32,650 --> 00:19:35,567
- Those polls sample likely voters.
- Yeah.
359
00:19:35,736 --> 00:19:39,353
When a third candidate gets elected,
it's gonna be by unlikely voters.
360
00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:42,613
And why is that good?
Why are we eager...?
361
00:19:42,782 --> 00:19:44,774
Why are we encouraging
a group of people...
362
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:47,619
...who are so howl-at-the-moon
lazy-ass stupid...
363
00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:50,276
...they can't bring themselves
to raise their hands?
364
00:19:50,454 --> 00:19:54,118
Why is it important that they
be brought into the process?
365
00:19:54,415 --> 00:19:56,075
You should stop being mad at me.
366
00:19:56,291 --> 00:19:57,619
- I'm not.
- You are.
367
00:19:57,792 --> 00:20:00,995
You know, I lost my job
because of a strategy you organized.
368
00:20:01,212 --> 00:20:06,205
You lost your job in a fashion
that insured you 93 better offers.
369
00:20:06,382 --> 00:20:09,631
That's sweet of you to look out for me,
but I liked the job I had.
370
00:20:09,842 --> 00:20:12,878
And when I lost it,
I didn't pitch anything.
371
00:20:13,053 --> 00:20:14,760
I didn't stage a nutty.
372
00:20:14,929 --> 00:20:18,629
I fought you. I lost.
I had a drink. I took a shower.
373
00:20:18,807 --> 00:20:20,965
Because that's how it is in the NBA.
374
00:20:21,142 --> 00:20:23,679
You know what I do when I win?
Two drinks.
375
00:20:23,852 --> 00:20:26,935
I didn't start consulting
with Stackhouse to piss you off.
376
00:20:27,104 --> 00:20:29,677
There are things here I believe in.
377
00:20:29,856 --> 00:20:33,603
I didn't come here to piss you off. I
wanted to say if the senator responds...
378
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:35,981
...on needle exchange,
don't take the bait.
379
00:20:36,194 --> 00:20:38,020
No kidding.
380
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:41,360
All right, I'm going back in.
381
00:20:45,158 --> 00:20:47,565
He's taking the president's votes.
It's as simple...
382
00:20:47,743 --> 00:20:51,111
He is taking the president's votes.
383
00:20:51,955 --> 00:20:53,745
Listen.
384
00:20:54,248 --> 00:20:58,873
I'm not indifferent to the situation, but
that's the crazy part of your argument.
385
00:20:59,043 --> 00:21:02,126
- Why?
- They're not his votes.
386
00:21:14,845 --> 00:21:16,339
Hey.
387
00:21:17,013 --> 00:21:18,341
Hello.
388
00:21:18,514 --> 00:21:20,174
How was it?
389
00:21:21,517 --> 00:21:23,473
- I'm sorry?
- How was it?
390
00:21:23,643 --> 00:21:25,386
It was...
391
00:21:25,561 --> 00:21:27,434
I don't know, it was...
392
00:21:27,604 --> 00:21:29,098
I don't...
393
00:21:29,647 --> 00:21:31,722
Maybe I'm not ready
to talk about it yet.
394
00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:34,768
It was a transforming...
No, that's the wrong word.
395
00:21:34,942 --> 00:21:38,061
We are not"transformed."
We locate the light switch.
396
00:21:38,486 --> 00:21:40,395
I own myself, Josh.
397
00:21:40,571 --> 00:21:42,978
You don't mind if I say that
out loud frequently...
398
00:21:43,156 --> 00:21:45,397
...with no provocation, do you?
- Why?
399
00:21:45,616 --> 00:21:48,023
- I live my life out loud.
- You're reading the book?
400
00:21:48,243 --> 00:21:50,034
- The owner's manual.
- Are you serious?
401
00:21:50,203 --> 00:21:51,946
No, you idiot, I need a shower!
402
00:21:52,955 --> 00:21:55,445
- All right.
- I've got, like, radioactive stuff on me.
403
00:21:55,623 --> 00:21:56,821
And you call me a snob?
404
00:21:56,999 --> 00:22:00,118
Please. It was like the"there but
for the grace of God" society.
405
00:22:00,293 --> 00:22:01,917
- Anybody ask you out?
- Shut up.
406
00:22:02,086 --> 00:22:04,872
- So report to me. What did he say?
- Why is this important?
407
00:22:05,046 --> 00:22:06,588
- What did he say?
- This is cheap.
408
00:22:06,756 --> 00:22:08,415
- I'll say.
- I'm talking about this.
409
00:22:08,590 --> 00:22:12,421
So the guy's consulted for Ritchie.
He's a buffoon, but he's harmless.
410
00:22:12,593 --> 00:22:16,542
- Why should it be part of the campaign?
- Because it's not harmless in a president.
411
00:22:16,721 --> 00:22:18,713
Nothing he said was wrong
or objectionable.
412
00:22:18,889 --> 00:22:21,842
As opposed to the man sitting next
to me, whose name was Fern.
413
00:22:22,016 --> 00:22:23,889
Open this book to any page.
414
00:22:26,686 --> 00:22:28,559
Okay. Well...
415
00:22:28,729 --> 00:22:32,014
...this is an order form
to buy Owning Yourself...
416
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:35,475
...follow-up to the worldwide bestseller...
- Leasing Yourself.
417
00:22:35,943 --> 00:22:38,018
"It's good to be trapped in a corner.
418
00:22:38,194 --> 00:22:40,067
- That's when you act."
- That's true.
419
00:22:40,237 --> 00:22:42,443
It is. In my case
it's the only time that I do.
420
00:22:42,614 --> 00:22:44,570
- So?
- It's lmmanuel Kant.
421
00:22:44,740 --> 00:22:47,028
"Duty. Sublime and mighty name...
422
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,782
...that embraces nothing charming
or insinuating but requires submission."
423
00:22:50,953 --> 00:22:54,285
Every year a million freshmen
philosophy students read that sentence...
424
00:22:54,497 --> 00:22:56,288
And change their major?
425
00:22:56,457 --> 00:22:58,828
You've got a mouthful of wiseass
today, don't you?
426
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,668
- I located the light switch.
- Could you locate it again?
427
00:23:01,835 --> 00:23:04,290
So he cribbed Kant,
isn't that what you should do?
428
00:23:04,462 --> 00:23:08,328
It comes from a 193-page book
called a Critique of Practical Reason.
429
00:23:08,507 --> 00:23:10,415
It's about metaphysics
and epistemology.
430
00:23:10,591 --> 00:23:13,544
Tomba's impressively boiled it down
to two-thirds of one page.
431
00:23:13,718 --> 00:23:16,006
- Give me another one.
-"Look outside the cave."
432
00:23:16,220 --> 00:23:19,137
That's from an old paperback
called The Republic, by Plato.
433
00:23:19,306 --> 00:23:21,796
Lucky Tomba was able to fit it
on a fortune cookie...
434
00:23:21,974 --> 00:23:24,808
...so it suits the attention span
of the Republican nominee.
435
00:23:24,976 --> 00:23:26,933
Here he quotes Robert Frost.
436
00:23:27,103 --> 00:23:29,474
"Good fences make good neighbors."
437
00:23:29,646 --> 00:23:31,472
- Did he talk about that?
- Yeah.
438
00:23:31,647 --> 00:23:33,474
- What'd he say?
- That if you stay...
439
00:23:33,649 --> 00:23:38,226
...within your personal space you'll end
up getting along fine with everyone.
440
00:23:38,777 --> 00:23:40,650
- You had to study modern poetry.
- Yes.
441
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:42,480
Is that what Frost meant?
442
00:23:42,655 --> 00:23:46,651
No. He meant that boundaries
are what alienate us from each other.
443
00:23:46,824 --> 00:23:49,030
Why'd he say
"good fences make good neighbors"?
444
00:23:49,243 --> 00:23:50,867
He was being ironic,
but I don't...
445
00:23:51,036 --> 00:23:54,818
What does it remind you of?
"I believe in hope, not fear."
446
00:23:54,997 --> 00:23:59,242
"I'm a leader, not a politician."
"It's time for an American leader."
447
00:23:59,416 --> 00:24:03,709
"America's earned a change."
"I before E except after C."
448
00:24:03,878 --> 00:24:06,878
It's the fortune-cookie candidacy.
449
00:24:07,047 --> 00:24:10,829
These are important thinkers and
understanding them can be very useful...
450
00:24:11,049 --> 00:24:13,753
...and it's not ever gonna happen
at a four-hour seminar.
451
00:24:13,926 --> 00:24:16,333
When the president's got
an embassy surrounded...
452
00:24:16,511 --> 00:24:19,049
...or a keyhole photograph
of a heavy water reactor...
453
00:24:19,222 --> 00:24:23,088
...or any of the 50 life-and-death matters
that walk across his desk every day...
454
00:24:23,266 --> 00:24:25,591
...I don't know if he thinks
about lmmanuel Kant.
455
00:24:25,768 --> 00:24:28,637
I doubt it, but if he does,
I am comforted, at least...
456
00:24:28,812 --> 00:24:32,144
...in my certainty that he's doing
his best to reach for all of it...
457
00:24:32,314 --> 00:24:33,808
...and not just the McNuggets.
458
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,850
Is it possible we would be willing
to require any less...
459
00:24:40,028 --> 00:24:42,316
...of the person sitting in that chair?
460
00:24:42,488 --> 00:24:44,645
The low road?
461
00:24:45,406 --> 00:24:47,149
I don't think it is.
462
00:24:50,368 --> 00:24:52,075
All right.
463
00:24:52,244 --> 00:24:54,201
I'll go through the book
this weekend...
464
00:24:54,371 --> 00:24:57,287
...highlight some things,
and I'll trace it back.
465
00:24:57,498 --> 00:25:01,577
- Yeah, make sure you...
- I said I'd do it, Buckminster.
466
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:06,086
- A guy named Fern?
- Don't talk to me about Fern.
467
00:25:06,254 --> 00:25:09,005
- You're sure it wasn't Vern?
- I thought so, but it's Fern.
468
00:25:09,214 --> 00:25:11,290
Let me know when the report gets in.
469
00:25:16,970 --> 00:25:19,376
- Hey, Sam.
- What's wrong with the other door?
470
00:25:19,555 --> 00:25:23,385
I don't know. You close it,
and it's locking by itself. What's up?
471
00:25:23,557 --> 00:25:25,680
Do you know who Horton Wilde is?
472
00:25:25,851 --> 00:25:27,677
That name sounds familiar.
473
00:25:27,852 --> 00:25:29,725
- He's running in Orange County.
- Yeah.
474
00:25:29,937 --> 00:25:32,095
He's in the hospital.
He's had a heart attack.
475
00:25:32,272 --> 00:25:35,307
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- It's his fourth.
476
00:25:35,607 --> 00:25:38,856
In Idaho we're running a guy
who lost a race for City Council.
477
00:25:39,735 --> 00:25:43,317
In the Texas 22nd,
our candidate's an electrical engineer...
478
00:25:43,529 --> 00:25:46,695
...who paid his filing fee
by dumping the cash out of a cigar box.
479
00:25:46,865 --> 00:25:50,696
Arizona 6th features a Democrat who
nine weeks ago registered as a Democrat.
480
00:25:50,868 --> 00:25:54,532
You just named three districts
that are impossible for Democrats.
481
00:25:54,704 --> 00:25:57,276
Finding qualified sacrificial lambs
ain't easy.
482
00:25:57,456 --> 00:26:01,037
When the DCCC tries to raise money
by saying we're taking back the House...
483
00:26:01,208 --> 00:26:03,533
...it doesn't look like
we're giving it our all.
484
00:26:03,752 --> 00:26:05,376
Line one.
485
00:26:05,545 --> 00:26:07,335
This is it.
486
00:26:07,504 --> 00:26:10,837
We're putting our resources
where they'll do the most good.
487
00:26:12,674 --> 00:26:15,081
This is Leo McGarry.
488
00:26:19,429 --> 00:26:22,050
Yeah, can someone fax that over?
489
00:26:22,223 --> 00:26:23,764
Thank you.
490
00:26:25,517 --> 00:26:27,674
We didn't get the five.
491
00:26:28,268 --> 00:26:29,596
- No.
- Three?
492
00:26:30,145 --> 00:26:31,722
Two.
493
00:26:31,896 --> 00:26:33,224
Two?
494
00:26:33,564 --> 00:26:34,726
Yeah.
495
00:26:35,732 --> 00:26:37,688
Margaret?
496
00:26:38,442 --> 00:26:41,561
Would you let Josh, Toby and C.J.
know that the report came out.
497
00:26:41,861 --> 00:26:43,900
It's two debates.
498
00:26:44,363 --> 00:26:46,687
- And I'm here.
- Yeah.
499
00:26:48,074 --> 00:26:50,398
- They give you a reason?
- They're faxing it over.
500
00:26:50,575 --> 00:26:52,781
Don't we want a debate
on new global threats?
501
00:26:52,952 --> 00:26:56,486
- Doesn't everybody want one debate...?
- I don't know.
502
00:26:57,830 --> 00:26:59,906
Do you read much international news?
503
00:27:00,082 --> 00:27:03,414
The Herald Tribune. Whatever C.J. puts
in front of me. Agence France.
504
00:27:03,584 --> 00:27:06,075
So you read that Qumar reopened
the investigation...
505
00:27:06,253 --> 00:27:08,161
...into Abdul Shareef's plane
going down.
506
00:27:08,338 --> 00:27:10,828
Yeah. They'll say Israel
had something to do with it.
507
00:27:11,048 --> 00:27:14,380
- You think they did?
- What do I know?
508
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:16,708
Shareef was a bad guy.
509
00:27:16,885 --> 00:27:18,877
Feels like he had money
in the Bahji cell.
510
00:27:19,053 --> 00:27:23,097
He did. He was also behind a plot
to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge.
511
00:27:24,432 --> 00:27:26,471
Bridges and tunnels.
512
00:27:27,184 --> 00:27:30,219
That's my nightmare.
What's yours?
513
00:27:30,394 --> 00:27:32,386
Well, now it's bridges and tunnels,
Sam.
514
00:27:32,938 --> 00:27:36,471
- Then my work here is done.
- It's that I don't know...
515
00:27:36,649 --> 00:27:40,645
...what winning looks like.
What does it look like? Is it...?
516
00:27:40,818 --> 00:27:43,604
I mean, is it honestly the U.S. flag
flying over Mecca?
517
00:27:43,778 --> 00:27:45,486
Is that what'll straighten this out?
518
00:27:45,655 --> 00:27:48,359
And if that's the case,
why are we postponing that?
519
00:27:48,532 --> 00:27:51,567
What are we hoping is gonna
happen in the meantime?
520
00:27:54,036 --> 00:27:56,822
That somebody'll think of something...
521
00:27:56,996 --> 00:27:58,952
...before we have to do
the unthinkable.
522
00:27:59,164 --> 00:28:02,995
You're one of the big minds of your
generation. Thought of anything yet?
523
00:28:03,167 --> 00:28:05,075
- No.
- Neither have I.
524
00:28:05,585 --> 00:28:09,831
Neither has the president of the
United States, also a pretty good mind.
525
00:28:11,422 --> 00:28:14,541
- The Golden Gate Bridge?
- Yeah.
526
00:28:17,468 --> 00:28:21,512
Leo, we didn't have anything to do with
Shareef's plane going down, did we?
527
00:28:27,016 --> 00:28:29,341
Sorry. Two debates?
528
00:28:29,518 --> 00:28:32,851
Yeah. The president and Bruno
aren't gonna take it well.
529
00:28:33,062 --> 00:28:34,935
There's one person
who'll take it worse.
530
00:28:35,105 --> 00:28:36,516
Who?
531
00:28:36,690 --> 00:28:38,397
Could somebody open
the damn door?
532
00:28:38,649 --> 00:28:40,974
I'll get it.
It's locked or something.
533
00:28:41,151 --> 00:28:43,143
- Don't force it. I'll try...
- Two debates?!
534
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:45,110
- Yeah.
- Did they say why?
535
00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:48,528
They're faxing their statement and
having a press conference Monday.
536
00:28:48,698 --> 00:28:50,357
Here's the fax.
537
00:28:50,533 --> 00:28:53,568
- And the president's asking for you.
-"Given the inability of..."
538
00:28:53,743 --> 00:28:55,949
- Do you mind me reading this?
- Would it matter?
539
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,488
"The two major parties to agree
upon earlier commission proposals...
540
00:28:59,664 --> 00:29:03,495
...uncertainty caused by recent court
rulings and the shortened time period...
541
00:29:03,667 --> 00:29:06,204
...in which to schedule debates
for maximum viewing...
542
00:29:06,377 --> 00:29:09,827
...the commission amends..." He got
what he wanted for dragging his feet.
543
00:29:10,004 --> 00:29:13,337
That's why he did it. Can't fault
him for having a winning strategy.
544
00:29:13,507 --> 00:29:16,590
- I'm not faulting him, I'm faulting them.
- Be back in a minute.
545
00:29:16,801 --> 00:29:19,338
That should be marked
Central Daylight Time, 2:05 p.m.
546
00:29:19,511 --> 00:29:20,839
- Leo, they did it.
- What?
547
00:29:21,012 --> 00:29:23,134
- Casper's boys.
- Hey, really?
548
00:29:23,305 --> 00:29:26,258
- One suspect... You should tell him.
- One suspect was killed...
549
00:29:26,432 --> 00:29:28,590
...another wounded.
- Wounded, that's it.
550
00:29:28,767 --> 00:29:30,558
- Our guys...
- Our guys are fine.
551
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:35,434
They are fine. We seized high explosive
gunpowder, galvanized steel pipes...
552
00:29:35,647 --> 00:29:38,931
...time fuses, blasting caps...
- And, come on. And...
553
00:29:39,149 --> 00:29:41,474
Blueprints to the pool at KSU.
554
00:29:43,152 --> 00:29:45,109
- And the kid?
- He's...
555
00:29:45,278 --> 00:29:49,192
- Go ahead, sir.
- University hospital, stable condition.
556
00:29:49,365 --> 00:29:53,147
Mike, pick out a daughter. My oldest
is married, but I can have it annulled.
557
00:29:53,326 --> 00:29:56,242
- The pope said he'd do it.
- That's very friendly, thank you.
558
00:29:56,411 --> 00:29:58,699
- Was that note anything I need?
- I don't know.
559
00:29:58,871 --> 00:30:03,081
Israeli search and rescue is looking for
a transport that fell off radar 12 hours...
560
00:30:03,249 --> 00:30:05,656
Twelve hours and 22 minutes
into the flight.
561
00:30:05,834 --> 00:30:07,542
About 15...
562
00:30:07,710 --> 00:30:11,078
About 25 minutes before it was
scheduled to land at Ben Gurion Airport.
563
00:30:11,296 --> 00:30:14,462
- Where did it originate?
- It originated...
564
00:30:14,715 --> 00:30:16,339
Oh, God.
565
00:30:16,508 --> 00:30:18,998
I think Ben Yosef is on that plane.
I think...
566
00:30:19,177 --> 00:30:20,920
- He is.
- Did they give coordinates?
567
00:30:21,303 --> 00:30:23,840
33�51 ' North, 34 � 47' East.
568
00:30:24,013 --> 00:30:26,254
- 34 � 47'.
- It's Lebanon, right?
569
00:30:26,432 --> 00:30:27,760
Yeah, southern Lebanon.
570
00:30:27,933 --> 00:30:32,309
At any rate, Mr. President, the...
The S&Rs just got under way.
571
00:30:32,519 --> 00:30:34,641
Okay. Somebody'll keep me posted.
572
00:30:34,812 --> 00:30:37,303
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you, sir.
573
00:30:37,481 --> 00:30:39,272
Thank you, Mr. President.
574
00:30:39,441 --> 00:30:40,769
Mike.
575
00:30:40,942 --> 00:30:43,562
- No kidding, thank you.
- Thank you, sir.
576
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:55,450
Ben Yosef's plane is missing.
577
00:30:57,453 --> 00:31:00,536
Now, how did I not see that coming?
578
00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:09,118
Eric steps up in the pocketlooking for Newman at the 20.
579
00:31:10,795 --> 00:31:12,871
Yeah, call that play again, coach...
580
00:31:13,047 --> 00:31:15,917
...because I'm sure
they're not ready for it this time.
581
00:31:16,383 --> 00:31:20,426
If you ask a professional athlete what
the hardest thing is to do in sports...
582
00:31:20,594 --> 00:31:22,253
...they'll all say hit a baseball.
583
00:31:22,428 --> 00:31:24,800
But a coach once told me
that the hardest thing...
584
00:31:24,972 --> 00:31:27,888
...is to walk into your Super Bowl
locker room at halftime...
585
00:31:28,057 --> 00:31:31,259
...and change the plan that got you
there because it's not working.
586
00:31:31,435 --> 00:31:35,016
It's okay that after almost every play
somebody requires medical attention?
587
00:31:35,229 --> 00:31:37,636
It's not even the number
as much as the format.
588
00:31:37,856 --> 00:31:40,013
Two-minute response,
then a one-minute reply.
589
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:44,015
That's not a debate, that's not a debate.
That's a joint press conference.
590
00:31:44,193 --> 00:31:47,229
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Nice job on Red Mass, first-rate.
591
00:31:47,404 --> 00:31:50,404
- You don't mind if I change everything?
- No, sir.
592
00:31:50,573 --> 00:31:52,363
Here.
593
00:31:52,532 --> 00:31:54,939
Here. And I added a section here.
594
00:31:55,117 --> 00:31:57,987
Cute. Let's take a look.
595
00:31:58,453 --> 00:31:59,911
It's a joint press conference.
596
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:03,910
It's not necessary that the candidates
be in the same room. That's just theater.
597
00:32:04,124 --> 00:32:06,792
We're talking about ways
to possibly lower expectations.
598
00:32:06,959 --> 00:32:08,785
I like what you did.
I like the 80-20.
599
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,004
Be nice to be able to respond to what
the other person said and ask a question.
600
00:32:13,171 --> 00:32:16,171
And the moderator should be empowered
to press for an answer...
601
00:32:16,340 --> 00:32:17,917
...as a judge can of a witness...
602
00:32:18,133 --> 00:32:20,623
...or a member of Congress
in a confirmation hearing.
603
00:32:24,096 --> 00:32:27,380
Sam, what do you think about me
writing you an urgent memo?
604
00:32:27,556 --> 00:32:30,722
"I think Ritchie's a more skilled debater
than we're anticipating.
605
00:32:30,892 --> 00:32:34,639
He has debated three gubernatorial
candidates and won each time."
606
00:32:34,811 --> 00:32:37,183
- And leak the memo?
- Yeah.
607
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:39,512
- I think you'll look silly.
- I'm used to that.
608
00:32:39,690 --> 00:32:42,262
- I don't think it'll do much.
- Me neither.
609
00:32:42,441 --> 00:32:45,477
Cicero wanted to restore
the overthrown king of Egypt.
610
00:32:45,652 --> 00:32:48,321
The Roman senate debated all day
and into the night...
611
00:32:48,487 --> 00:32:50,693
...every military
and diplomatic consequence...
612
00:32:50,864 --> 00:32:52,655
...until they collapsed on the floor.
613
00:32:52,824 --> 00:32:54,946
Lentulus is trying to overthrow
the Republic.
614
00:32:55,117 --> 00:32:56,445
Caesar goes against Cato...
615
00:32:56,618 --> 00:32:59,452
...by the way, the first public debate
on the death penalty.
616
00:32:59,620 --> 00:33:01,778
They were against each other.
It was a debate.
617
00:33:01,955 --> 00:33:04,789
They explored the meaning
of spirituality and suffering.
618
00:33:04,999 --> 00:33:07,785
- Then they put Lentulus to death.
- Right, but my point...
619
00:33:07,959 --> 00:33:09,334
- Why not?
- Why not what?
620
00:33:09,502 --> 00:33:10,877
Ask for a different format?
621
00:33:11,044 --> 00:33:13,879
We didn't get the number of debates
we wanted, why not ask?
622
00:33:14,046 --> 00:33:15,421
- We'd never get it.
- We might.
623
00:33:15,589 --> 00:33:17,415
Ritchie's people would put up a fight.
624
00:33:17,591 --> 00:33:21,172
They might consider it if we give them
something else they wanted.
625
00:33:21,385 --> 00:33:24,504
Other than this house,
we don't have anything else they want.
626
00:33:25,638 --> 00:33:27,594
Sure, we do.
627
00:33:28,431 --> 00:33:30,969
Sure, we do. We wanted five debates,
they wanted none.
628
00:33:31,142 --> 00:33:34,426
We have exactly one thing left
that they want.
629
00:33:38,063 --> 00:33:41,762
Isn't this exactly why casinos
don't play with a one-deck shoe?
630
00:33:42,191 --> 00:33:43,934
Yes.
631
00:33:49,237 --> 00:33:50,648
Mr. President.
632
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:54,819
Mr. President, the car's ready.
633
00:33:56,909 --> 00:33:59,862
He's still running that screen pass.
634
00:34:01,037 --> 00:34:03,990
Get Toby to sign off, and I'm in.
635
00:34:07,125 --> 00:34:09,531
This is gonna be interesting.
Do we need my speech?
636
00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:11,120
I've got it.
637
00:34:11,294 --> 00:34:14,211
You mind if I ask something
about Red Mass I'm curious about?
638
00:34:14,380 --> 00:34:16,668
And so how isn't it
a constitutional issue?
639
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,962
It is, but sometimes you say,
"Big deal."
640
00:34:19,133 --> 00:34:21,753
It was the intention
not to have a national religion...
641
00:34:21,926 --> 00:34:25,045
...not to have anyone's religious views
imposed on anyone else...
642
00:34:25,220 --> 00:34:28,553
...and not to have government
encourage a national display of piety...
643
00:34:28,723 --> 00:34:31,758
...as a substitute for action.
But sometimes you say"Big deal."
644
00:34:31,933 --> 00:34:34,637
- I'll be in the office a minute.
- Thank you.
645
00:34:37,395 --> 00:34:40,597
Hey. This was dropped at
the northwest gate for you just now.
646
00:34:40,773 --> 00:34:43,310
- Who's it from?
- I don't know.
647
00:34:44,942 --> 00:34:46,270
It's from Anthony.
648
00:34:46,443 --> 00:34:48,731
He's the one
who was here yesterday.
649
00:34:53,114 --> 00:34:54,656
- Nice note?
- No.
650
00:34:54,824 --> 00:34:56,366
At several points he suggests...
651
00:34:56,533 --> 00:34:59,699
...that I might have
an improper relationship with my mother.
652
00:34:59,869 --> 00:35:03,568
- Why are you smiling?
- He wrote it on the First Amendment.
653
00:35:04,581 --> 00:35:07,699
Why can't the Mets throw strikes
when they have a three-run lead?
654
00:35:07,874 --> 00:35:09,249
Yeah, let me ask you another.
655
00:35:09,417 --> 00:35:12,832
With a runner on first, who's a
threat to steal, why not just...?
656
00:35:16,130 --> 00:35:18,964
- See you.
- Okay.
657
00:35:29,056 --> 00:35:30,763
Hey.
658
00:35:31,182 --> 00:35:33,423
Oh, hey. I didn't...
659
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,517
Hi. My mind was wandering.
660
00:35:38,354 --> 00:35:40,725
- What are you doing here?
- I'm sorry?
661
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:42,812
What are you doing here?
662
00:35:42,982 --> 00:35:46,895
Danya Zucker had an extra ticket
for the mass, and she asked me.
663
00:35:47,276 --> 00:35:50,027
- Are you going?
- No.
664
00:35:50,195 --> 00:35:51,737
No.
665
00:36:05,914 --> 00:36:09,958
Can you give me any indication
what the senator's thinking?
666
00:36:10,376 --> 00:36:12,415
I really can't.
667
00:36:12,752 --> 00:36:15,918
He spoke to me for a while yesterday...
668
00:36:16,088 --> 00:36:18,839
...and again today,
and I don't know what he's thinking.
669
00:36:19,007 --> 00:36:21,876
- But I can tell you what I told him.
- What?
670
00:36:22,050 --> 00:36:25,549
I told him I thought he'd been
an extraordinary public servant.
671
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:30,095
Thoughtful and energetic
and compassionate and courageous.
672
00:36:30,306 --> 00:36:33,425
And I told him I'd be voting
for the president.
673
00:36:34,601 --> 00:36:35,929
Why?
674
00:36:36,102 --> 00:36:38,177
First of all,
I'm crazy about the president.
675
00:36:38,353 --> 00:36:42,053
I've been crazy about him for longer
than you've known who he was.
676
00:36:42,231 --> 00:36:44,638
And I'll keep poking him with a stick.
677
00:36:44,816 --> 00:36:46,938
It's how I show my love.
678
00:36:47,109 --> 00:36:49,397
But as a women's issue
it's a no-brainer.
679
00:36:49,569 --> 00:36:52,024
The next justice can overturn Roe...
680
00:36:52,196 --> 00:36:54,733
...and you don't screw around
with that.
681
00:36:54,906 --> 00:36:57,479
Wanna see what I learned to do
since you got me fired?
682
00:36:57,867 --> 00:36:59,823
- Look...
- Watch.
683
00:37:08,791 --> 00:37:10,581
Right away that's impressive, right?
684
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:14,581
That's just the preparation.
This is the thing.
685
00:37:28,554 --> 00:37:30,214
What is it?
686
00:37:31,431 --> 00:37:32,889
What do you want it to be?
687
00:37:34,016 --> 00:37:37,182
- Amy?
- Out here.
688
00:37:38,269 --> 00:37:40,178
See you.
689
00:38:01,660 --> 00:38:05,573
I thought about what you asked before
about my being able to think of anything.
690
00:38:05,746 --> 00:38:07,489
And I said no.
691
00:38:07,664 --> 00:38:10,913
And you said,"Neither have I,
and neither has the president."
692
00:38:13,377 --> 00:38:15,203
What about it?
693
00:38:16,420 --> 00:38:20,796
I wouldn't speak for anybody else,
but you know I'm not done yet, right?
694
00:39:03,744 --> 00:39:05,119
- Toby...
- No, stay there.
695
00:39:05,287 --> 00:39:07,326
I'm looking for something
to beat you with.
696
00:39:07,497 --> 00:39:08,825
- Look...
- I'll use my hands.
697
00:39:08,998 --> 00:39:10,373
- Let me say...
- One debate?!
698
00:39:10,541 --> 00:39:12,865
What's the difference between
one debate and two?
699
00:39:13,043 --> 00:39:14,370
What's the difference be...
700
00:39:14,544 --> 00:39:17,497
It's a whole other debate.
It's a second debate.
701
00:39:17,671 --> 00:39:19,497
It's 100 percent more debates.
702
00:39:19,672 --> 00:39:22,921
"Somebody should ask him if he's aware
taxpayers pay 9000 this...
703
00:39:23,091 --> 00:39:25,628
...instead of 200,000 that.
And somebody should ask...
704
00:39:25,801 --> 00:39:28,208
...what he means by
and ask how he plans on."
705
00:39:28,386 --> 00:39:31,007
You said that and you were right.
706
00:39:32,222 --> 00:39:34,214
What if he has a bad night?
707
00:39:34,390 --> 00:39:37,307
It's happened.
What if he gets himself into trouble?
708
00:39:37,476 --> 00:39:41,852
What if Ritchie comes after Abbey or
the kids, and the president goes postal?
709
00:39:42,021 --> 00:39:44,060
It's what I'd try to do.
710
00:39:44,231 --> 00:39:47,017
Stress, hot lights,
what if he has an episode?
711
00:39:47,858 --> 00:39:49,767
We lose.
712
00:39:49,943 --> 00:39:53,856
When you can't lower expectations,
you only have one thing you can do.
713
00:39:54,029 --> 00:39:55,855
You have to meet them.
714
00:40:12,667 --> 00:40:16,615
Clear 24 hours from the president's
schedule. We're going away.
715
00:40:27,802 --> 00:40:29,628
There she is.
716
00:40:29,803 --> 00:40:31,630
C.J.?
717
00:40:31,805 --> 00:40:33,346
Susan.
718
00:40:33,514 --> 00:40:37,013
The senator would like a quick word
with the president. Is that possible?
719
00:40:38,434 --> 00:40:40,889
- Well, I don't know, Susan...
- He should.
720
00:40:42,604 --> 00:40:44,263
Okay.
721
00:41:01,075 --> 00:41:02,983
That was a wonderful talk,
Mr. President.
722
00:41:03,201 --> 00:41:05,822
- Thanks. I didn't write much of it.
- The 80-20 section.
723
00:41:06,037 --> 00:41:07,993
That part I wrote. I added it.
724
00:41:08,163 --> 00:41:09,787
When you first started...
725
00:41:09,956 --> 00:41:14,498
...when you talked about how politicians
hunger after the 80-20 issue...
726
00:41:14,668 --> 00:41:18,166
...I thought,"My God,
I'm about to watch a train wreck.
727
00:41:18,337 --> 00:41:20,827
He'll make a political speech
to the Supreme Court...
728
00:41:21,005 --> 00:41:23,127
...while standing
in the middle of a church."
729
00:41:23,298 --> 00:41:26,298
But of course you didn't.
I should've known better.
730
00:41:27,718 --> 00:41:30,208
"Who among the 80
will stand up for the 20?"
731
00:41:30,428 --> 00:41:33,263
You did, Howard. You did all the time.
732
00:41:33,472 --> 00:41:38,382
I was telling Josh Lyman about a friend
who just got his pilot's license.
733
00:41:38,809 --> 00:41:41,346
He told me the most remarkable thing.
734
00:41:42,103 --> 00:41:45,471
He said a new pilot will fly
into cloud cover...
735
00:41:45,647 --> 00:41:47,224
...there'll be no visibility.
736
00:41:47,398 --> 00:41:50,600
They'll check their gauges,
they'll look at the artificial horizon.
737
00:41:50,776 --> 00:41:52,649
It'll show them level...
738
00:41:52,819 --> 00:41:54,645
...but they won't trust it.
739
00:41:54,820 --> 00:41:59,231
So they'll make an adjustment,
and then another and another.
740
00:41:59,865 --> 00:42:03,315
He said the number of new pilots
who fly out of clouds...
741
00:42:03,493 --> 00:42:05,532
...completely upside down...
742
00:42:05,702 --> 00:42:07,611
...would knock you out.
743
00:42:08,663 --> 00:42:13,572
My office will make arrangements
for me to endorse you in the morning.
744
00:42:14,208 --> 00:42:17,043
You keep your eyes
on the horizon, Mr. President.
745
00:42:25,383 --> 00:42:27,707
Mr. President. Mr. President.
746
00:42:42,686 --> 00:42:44,808
Are you ready to go, sir?
747
00:42:44,979 --> 00:42:46,521
No.
748
00:42:46,939 --> 00:42:48,563
C.J.
749
00:42:49,232 --> 00:42:50,892
- Yes, sir.
- Would it be possible...
750
00:42:51,067 --> 00:42:53,142
...to move the press
off the church grounds?
751
00:42:53,318 --> 00:42:55,394
I'm gonna take questions
for a little while.
752
00:42:55,570 --> 00:42:57,811
- On what?
- Needle exchange.
753
00:42:58,030 --> 00:42:59,689
Yes, sir.64278
