1
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:06,949
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,117 --> 00:00:09,243
Mr. Vice President,
have you had an affair...
3
00:00:09,414 --> 00:00:11,207
...with Helen Baldwin?
- Yes.
4
00:00:11,419 --> 00:00:13,248
They know you lived
with that guy, Ben?
5
00:00:13,423 --> 00:00:14,884
There's a lot you don't know.
6
00:00:15,093 --> 00:00:16,922
Are you in a position to deny it?
7
00:00:17,098 --> 00:00:20,186
Do you think she may have been
coached by Republican leadership?
8
00:00:20,397 --> 00:00:22,892
If we're gonna do this,
we start tonight, now.
9
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:26,942
- And I need you thinking now and not...
- Sir, I'm resigning the vice presidency.
10
00:00:32,342 --> 00:00:36,260
We'll be back with White HousePress Secretary C.J. Cregg after this.
11
00:00:36,434 --> 00:00:39,011
Wait? What was that?
You're breaking up on me.
12
00:00:39,190 --> 00:00:41,435
- Can you hear me now?
- Yes, that's much better.
13
00:00:41,612 --> 00:00:43,692
What's this about
the dollar and the yen?
14
00:00:43,867 --> 00:00:45,578
No, not the yen. That's Japan.
15
00:00:45,789 --> 00:00:47,582
China's currency is the yuan.
16
00:00:47,793 --> 00:00:50,169
This isn't PBS.
He's not gonna ask about the yuan.
17
00:00:50,341 --> 00:00:52,550
But cheap goodsimported from China...
18
00:00:52,722 --> 00:00:55,642
... are what tomorrow's labor's protestsare gonna be about...
19
00:00:55,812 --> 00:00:58,271
... so we gotta get outthe message that Chinese...
20
00:00:58,443 --> 00:01:00,153
Hang on a second.
21
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:04,038
AP says a presidential commissionrecommends a 50-percent...
22
00:01:04,206 --> 00:01:07,543
...increase in cigarette taxes? What...?
- He's gonna ask about that.
23
00:01:07,714 --> 00:01:09,793
- Give me more.
- Seventeen cent increase...
24
00:01:09,969 --> 00:01:11,881
... raise 3.4 billion a year...
25
00:01:12,099 --> 00:01:13,928
...16 billion over five years.
- Hang on.
26
00:01:14,103 --> 00:01:15,730
- Can you stick it there?
- Sure.
27
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:18,572
- Yeah?
- Could buy out 75 percent of tobacco...
28
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:20,984
...farmers.
- Did you see Drudge?
29
00:01:21,161 --> 00:01:23,620
Pay them not to grow tobacco.
30
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:27,748
Increase the price of tobacco,
would reduce teenage smoking.
31
00:01:27,927 --> 00:01:30,006
Other recommendations
for reducing teenage...
32
00:01:31,894 --> 00:01:34,270
In 10, nine, eight...
33
00:01:34,441 --> 00:01:35,986
- Toby, I gotta go.
- No, wait.
34
00:01:36,154 --> 00:01:37,484
- Wait.
- Six...
35
00:01:37,658 --> 00:01:40,996
Hello? Damn it.
36
00:01:41,165 --> 00:01:43,244
Joining me now in a rare venture...
37
00:01:43,420 --> 00:01:47,209
...outside the controlled environment of
the White House Press Briefing Room...
38
00:01:47,388 --> 00:01:51,473
...is the one and only queen of the
Bartlet spinners, Miss C.J. Cregg.
39
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:53,981
- Welcome back.
- Always a pleasure, Taylor...
40
00:01:54,154 --> 00:01:56,647
...but if you think the briefing room's
controlled...
41
00:01:56,826 --> 00:01:59,035
...try controlling 100 hungry reporters.
42
00:01:59,207 --> 00:02:01,701
And if I'm queen of anything,
I want a bigger office.
43
00:02:01,879 --> 00:02:05,252
Okay, C.J., tell us about
the president's secret plan to raise taxes.
44
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:07,840
I'd love to, but it's so secret,
he hasn't told me.
45
00:02:08,018 --> 00:02:11,308
I'm talking about a secret commission
that wants a 50-percent...
46
00:02:11,485 --> 00:02:13,646
First of all, it's not
a secret commission...
47
00:02:13,823 --> 00:02:17,612
...the report was just released on
the AP wire, how we both found out...
48
00:02:17,833 --> 00:02:20,373
...and I promise,
the president hasn't heard of it.
49
00:02:20,547 --> 00:02:22,209
It's gonna ask him to raise taxes.
50
00:02:22,385 --> 00:02:25,057
Among their recommendations
to reduce teenage smoking...
51
00:02:25,224 --> 00:02:29,180
...they suggest a 17-cent increase in...
- That's 50 percent. That's what I said.
52
00:02:29,359 --> 00:02:32,898
Yes, 17 pennies does equal 50 percent
in this little math problem.
53
00:02:33,075 --> 00:02:36,830
- That won't stop teens from smoking.
- A raised price should reduce demand...
54
00:02:37,001 --> 00:02:39,709
...but more importantly,
we'll raise $3.4 billion a year.
55
00:02:39,883 --> 00:02:41,676
That's 16 billion over five years...
56
00:02:41,846 --> 00:02:44,685
...which can buy out 75 percent
of American tobacco farmers.
57
00:02:44,853 --> 00:02:47,098
- Pay them not to grow tobacco.
- lf we reduce...
58
00:02:47,274 --> 00:02:49,401
Has this president met
a handout he didn't like?
59
00:02:49,572 --> 00:02:51,234
Who else does he wanna pay?
60
00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:54,082
Does he not realize the budget
deficit is large enough?
61
00:02:54,249 --> 00:02:57,420
How much taxation does he think
we can stand before we break?
62
00:02:57,590 --> 00:03:01,676
Has this president forgotten that this
country was founded during a tax revolt?
63
00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:04,059
- What does he think?
- Which is your favorite?
64
00:03:04,231 --> 00:03:05,608
If you want me to answer...
65
00:03:05,775 --> 00:03:08,270
We know he hasn't met a tax
increase he didn't like.
66
00:03:08,449 --> 00:03:10,574
If you don't wanna answer,
we'll move on.
67
00:03:10,745 --> 00:03:12,622
This is new,
from the Drudge Report...
68
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:14,953
...Matt Drudge's website,
and I'm reading:
69
00:03:15,131 --> 00:03:17,969
"The Sunday Times Magazine will runan in-depth profile...
70
00:03:18,137 --> 00:03:20,216
... of former vice presidentJohn Hoynes...
71
00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:22,644
...who resigned as a result
of a sex scandal.
72
00:03:22,814 --> 00:03:25,772
Hoynes cooperated with The Times,
in a tell-all interview...
73
00:03:25,947 --> 00:03:28,358
...in which he revealed
that President Bartlet...
74
00:03:28,536 --> 00:03:31,743
...tried to talk him into staying in office."
Is that true, C.J.?
75
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:35,384
- l...
- Was the president trying to cover up?
76
00:03:35,552 --> 00:03:39,008
- I can't respond to every website...
- Did he tell Hoynes not to resign?
77
00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:41,346
- I haven't read the article...
- Yes or no?
78
00:03:41,524 --> 00:03:43,566
I'm not privy to his
private conversations.
79
00:03:43,737 --> 00:03:45,234
Come on, this is pretty basic.
80
00:03:45,408 --> 00:03:48,365
Was Hoynes told to stick around
because he could beat the rap?
81
00:03:48,540 --> 00:03:50,120
I really can't comment on that.
82
00:03:50,294 --> 00:03:53,168
That's your answer?
Your answer is "no comment."
83
00:03:57,310 --> 00:03:58,972
All right, we gotta go to a break.
84
00:03:59,148 --> 00:04:03,482
When we come back, more with White
House Press Secretary C.J. Cregg.
85
00:04:03,658 --> 00:04:06,588
That was a great segment, C.J.
Good job.
86
00:04:58,446 --> 00:05:00,903
- Is she back yet?
- Carol said any minute now.
87
00:05:01,118 --> 00:05:03,788
- Where is this meeting?
- The Roosevelt Room is booked...
88
00:05:03,956 --> 00:05:07,908
...and I'm sorry, but 15 AFL-CIO union
reps aren't gonna be comfortable here.
89
00:05:08,088 --> 00:05:11,007
- Who's got the Roosevelt Room?
- The Base Closing Commission.
90
00:05:11,177 --> 00:05:14,262
- We're getting a table and folding chairs.
- Folding chairs.
91
00:05:14,431 --> 00:05:16,260
- Hey, Toby.
- Hey, Tom.
92
00:05:16,435 --> 00:05:19,057
- Thanks for making time to see us.
- No problem, Shelly.
93
00:05:19,231 --> 00:05:20,976
Hey, everybody, sorry I'm late.
94
00:05:21,151 --> 00:05:22,480
Hey.
95
00:05:22,654 --> 00:05:27,235
We're having a bit of a problem finding
a room big enough for us to meet, so...
96
00:05:27,411 --> 00:05:30,248
...why don't I work on that
for just one minute? I'll be...
97
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:31,746
I'll be right
back.
98
00:05:31,919 --> 00:05:34,672
So can I get you anything?
99
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,630
Water or coffee?
100
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:39,716
Hey. How you doing?
101
00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:41,470
You saw it.
How do you think I am?
102
00:05:41,643 --> 00:05:43,472
- You got blindsided.
- I looked amateur.
103
00:05:43,646 --> 00:05:45,973
I need an advance copy
of The Times Magazine now.
104
00:05:46,151 --> 00:05:48,310
I tried. They don't come out
till Thursday.
105
00:05:48,488 --> 00:05:50,447
Leo and the president want copies.
106
00:05:50,617 --> 00:05:52,491
Who does Drudge say
wrote the article?
107
00:05:52,662 --> 00:05:54,702
- Greg Brock.
- From the Paris bureau?
108
00:05:54,873 --> 00:05:56,998
- He doesn't owe me.
- Want him on the phone?
109
00:05:57,169 --> 00:05:59,626
- Yeah.
- And I've got Ben holding on line one.
110
00:05:59,798 --> 00:06:02,042
I cannot talk to Ben right now.
111
00:06:02,220 --> 00:06:05,591
Drudge leaked maybe 50 words
out of what's a 5000-word article...
112
00:06:05,767 --> 00:06:07,096
...and we're on the ropes.
113
00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:10,308
- I've got Greg Brock's voicemail.
- I'll do it.
114
00:06:11,526 --> 00:06:13,187
Hi, Greg, it's C.J. Cregg.
115
00:06:13,363 --> 00:06:17,198
I've been meaning to buy you lunch since
you joined the White House press corps.
116
00:06:17,369 --> 00:06:21,073
It's a little tradition we have.
Well, one I'm trying to start, actually.
117
00:06:21,252 --> 00:06:24,254
So why don't you give me a call,
and we'll...
118
00:06:25,049 --> 00:06:30,392
...you know exactly why I'm calling.
Get back to me fast, will you?
119
00:06:32,227 --> 00:06:34,934
- Are you sure you wanna handle this?
- Yeah.
120
00:06:37,778 --> 00:06:39,404
Okay.
121
00:06:41,911 --> 00:06:45,198
Come on. Please, anything but
the Base Closing Commission...
122
00:06:45,375 --> 00:06:46,953
...the most ridiculously boring...
123
00:06:47,128 --> 00:06:49,086
I need you with them,
make sure they...
124
00:06:49,256 --> 00:06:51,464
Wait a minute.
Is this, like, even legal?
125
00:06:51,635 --> 00:06:53,712
It's perfectly legal.
126
00:06:53,889 --> 00:06:55,764
Aren't they supposed
to be independent?
127
00:06:55,934 --> 00:06:58,391
Yeah, so's Congress,
and we talk to them.
128
00:06:58,563 --> 00:07:00,308
Look, I need you to make sure...
129
00:07:00,483 --> 00:07:03,320
...the recommendations the commission
gives the president...
130
00:07:03,488 --> 00:07:06,860
...on what military bases to close
are not politically suicidal for us.
131
00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:09,114
Closing any of them
is politically suicidal.
132
00:07:09,289 --> 00:07:12,707
Right. That's why we let
the Base Closing Commission decide.
133
00:07:12,879 --> 00:07:15,798
- We won't let them.
- President wants you in the NEC meeting.
134
00:07:15,967 --> 00:07:17,343
- When?
- Now-ish.
135
00:07:17,511 --> 00:07:19,552
We're lobbying the
Base Closing Commission.
136
00:07:19,724 --> 00:07:22,430
You're lobbying them,
just like everybody else does.
137
00:07:22,603 --> 00:07:26,520
Hey. I've got 15 AFL-CIO union reps
who wanna yell at me...
138
00:07:26,693 --> 00:07:29,020
...about us sending their jobs to China.
- So?
139
00:07:29,198 --> 00:07:30,859
So I need the Roosevelt Room.
140
00:07:31,034 --> 00:07:33,111
Josh is in with
the Base Closing Commission.
141
00:07:33,455 --> 00:07:35,164
- All day?
- So move them.
142
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:37,493
We're talking two former
four-star generals...
143
00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:41,885
...one former admiral, and a couple of
former assistant secretaries of DOD.
144
00:07:42,052 --> 00:07:45,055
They're accustomed to a certain style,
and we're lobbying them.
145
00:07:45,225 --> 00:07:46,850
So they get the Roosevelt Room...
146
00:07:47,019 --> 00:07:49,429
...massage tables, ESPN,
whatever they want.
147
00:07:49,607 --> 00:07:53,061
These unions are gonna be outside
tomorrow, protesting against us...
148
00:07:53,238 --> 00:07:57,190
...but if we treat them right, maybe...
- Ask Margaret about the Mural Room.
149
00:07:57,369 --> 00:07:59,163
- The vice president has it.
- For what?
150
00:07:59,331 --> 00:08:02,536
He's the vice president.
I don't have to justify his using a room.
151
00:08:02,711 --> 00:08:04,042
Of course not. For what?
152
00:08:04,215 --> 00:08:06,339
Meeting with a bunch
of environmental groups.
153
00:08:06,509 --> 00:08:08,718
Environmental groups?
That's a first for him.
154
00:08:08,889 --> 00:08:11,132
- He's off and running.
- Hoynes is too.
155
00:08:11,309 --> 00:08:14,396
- We don't know that.
- No. Not exactly. Not yet.
156
00:08:14,565 --> 00:08:18,233
A tell-all, come-clean interview in
The Times Magazine is a good first step.
157
00:08:18,405 --> 00:08:21,610
The vice president's campaign
for president is not our concern.
158
00:08:21,785 --> 00:08:24,113
Hoynes is obviously trying
to rewrite history...
159
00:08:24,290 --> 00:08:26,782
...to make himself morally
superior to the president.
160
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,169
- This from an adulterer who...
- Lied about sex.
161
00:08:29,340 --> 00:08:32,176
Everyone lies about it,
that's how his people will spin it.
162
00:08:32,344 --> 00:08:34,469
- He doesn't have people.
- We don't know that.
163
00:08:34,641 --> 00:08:36,681
I'm just saying,
vice president's office...
164
00:08:36,893 --> 00:08:39,850
...I would like to be included in
any strategic discussions...
165
00:08:40,024 --> 00:08:42,861
...about how to respond to Hoynes,
and it is a campaign...
166
00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:46,899
...to make himself out to be the only
honest guy in an administration of liars.
167
00:08:47,454 --> 00:08:50,311
Yeah, we'll be sure to call you.
168
00:08:52,608 --> 00:08:55,452
That's one macchiato. Decaf.
169
00:08:55,625 --> 00:08:58,176
Here are the latest trade-deficit
numbers with China.
170
00:08:58,354 --> 00:09:00,047
- Don't need them.
- Want us to stay?
171
00:09:00,214 --> 00:09:02,684
No, this meeting's about politics.
Facts won't help.
172
00:09:02,861 --> 00:09:05,211
- Okay, this is the grande latte.
- Thank you.
173
00:09:05,382 --> 00:09:08,968
And the double decaf cap nonfat.
174
00:09:09,144 --> 00:09:11,825
Well, it turns out we're gonna
have to make do with...
175
00:09:11,997 --> 00:09:13,808
...folding chairs.
- That's okay, Toby.
176
00:09:13,981 --> 00:09:15,956
- Rena explained the whole thing.
- She did?
177
00:09:16,131 --> 00:09:18,189
We told her it's not important
where we sit.
178
00:09:18,364 --> 00:09:21,455
- No, you're right. It's not.
- It's important you do what we want.
179
00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:24,390
Or at least treat us with respect.
180
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:27,810
- How am I doing so far?
- You got two strikes on you.
181
00:09:30,248 --> 00:09:34,462
Because reviewing a cost-benefit analysis
for every military base in the country...
182
00:09:34,630 --> 00:09:37,123
...is as mind-numbing as Radiohead...
- Need this?
183
00:09:37,301 --> 00:09:38,713
Yeah, and the one under it.
184
00:09:38,888 --> 00:09:41,095
Deciding which military bases
we don't need...
185
00:09:41,266 --> 00:09:44,269
...is the most politically disastrous thing
to get involved in.
186
00:09:44,438 --> 00:09:47,775
But why close bases when we've gotta
train troops to fight terrorists?
187
00:09:47,944 --> 00:09:49,356
- Is that everything?
- Yeah.
188
00:09:49,530 --> 00:09:53,447
Because terrorists aren't well-trained for
deep-snow combat like Soviets...
189
00:09:53,620 --> 00:09:56,244
...maybe we don't need that base in
upstate New York.
190
00:09:56,417 --> 00:09:59,870
Maybe we should be expanding our
desert-combat training bases because...
191
00:10:00,048 --> 00:10:03,216
...you know, desert warfare's not
going out of style anytime soon.
192
00:10:03,387 --> 00:10:05,844
- So it's an efficiency thing.
- You're quick.
193
00:10:06,016 --> 00:10:07,845
Since when is efficiency
bad politics?
194
00:10:08,019 --> 00:10:09,847
Anyplace that loses a base loses jobs.
195
00:10:10,022 --> 00:10:12,267
You should've seen my town
when the Army left.
196
00:10:12,443 --> 00:10:14,104
Josh. Got a minute?
197
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,529
Anything to keep me out of that room.
You guys go ahead in and get organized.
198
00:10:19,455 --> 00:10:20,951
What's Hoynes up to?
199
00:10:21,125 --> 00:10:22,454
- Don't know.
- Come on, Josh.
200
00:10:22,627 --> 00:10:24,620
You worked for him in the Senate.
You know.
201
00:10:24,797 --> 00:10:27,800
It seems there's at least
one side of Hoynes I didn't know.
202
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:30,129
You think he believes
he'll get past the scandal?
203
00:10:30,306 --> 00:10:32,514
Maybe he wanted one big
interview then move on.
204
00:10:32,686 --> 00:10:36,306
Start bringing clients into the law firm.
Excuse me, I gotta get in there.
205
00:10:36,484 --> 00:10:38,358
- Base Closing Commission?
- Yeah.
206
00:10:38,529 --> 00:10:41,485
The vice president urges you
not to close bases in states...
207
00:10:41,701 --> 00:10:45,071
...with more than one electoral vote.
- No problem.
208
00:10:45,541 --> 00:10:48,792
- Morning, everyone.
- Morning, Josh.
209
00:10:49,672 --> 00:10:52,130
Get him out of that chair.
210
00:10:52,635 --> 00:10:56,683
The president would like me to go over
your preliminary recommendations...
211
00:10:56,851 --> 00:10:59,343
...so he could get an idea of
what you have in mind.
212
00:10:59,522 --> 00:11:02,229
- Ready whenever you are.
- Shoot.
213
00:11:02,402 --> 00:11:05,774
First on the list is Fort Drum,
in upstate New York.
214
00:11:05,950 --> 00:11:08,359
Its primary mission is
deep-snow combat training.
215
00:11:08,537 --> 00:11:12,289
The commission's consensus is that deep
snow is no longer a training priority.
216
00:11:12,460 --> 00:11:13,351
Next.
217
00:11:13,467 --> 00:11:16,775
What we're saying is this country
is China's biggest customer...
218
00:11:16,952 --> 00:11:20,343
...so we should dictate the deal.
- Like the valuation of the yuan.
219
00:11:20,521 --> 00:11:23,158
- Leo needs you.
...when the dollar is weak.
220
00:11:23,333 --> 00:11:25,220
- I know.
- lf their currency floats...
221
00:11:25,391 --> 00:11:28,195
- Tell him I can't.
...we can get export advantage.
222
00:11:28,413 --> 00:11:31,434
But we let them flood this country
with cheap stuff and labor.
223
00:11:31,603 --> 00:11:32,940
- And slave labor.
- Right.
224
00:11:33,115 --> 00:11:36,088
- They buy nothing from us.
- I wouldn't call 747s nothing.
225
00:11:36,264 --> 00:11:41,458
I told Margaret to tell Leo you're stuck,
and she said he said, "No, you're not."
226
00:11:41,638 --> 00:11:43,643
...gives them interest-free loans.
- Sorry.
227
00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:46,794
Please, the president needs me
for something, and...
228
00:11:46,969 --> 00:11:48,688
Toby. We're not new in town.
229
00:11:48,858 --> 00:11:51,795
You expect us to fall for the
old "president needs us" thing?
230
00:11:52,384 --> 00:11:53,853
No.
231
00:11:54,023 --> 00:11:58,511
Leo McGarry ordered me into his office.
As much as I wanna save your jobs...
232
00:11:58,682 --> 00:12:01,953
...I have to try and save mine first
if I'm gonna be any use to you.
233
00:12:02,125 --> 00:12:05,556
So I'll be back, you know...
234
00:12:05,732 --> 00:12:07,053
...soon.
235
00:12:07,224 --> 00:12:11,062
Was there any discussion of exactly
how Hoynes could hang in there?
236
00:12:11,234 --> 00:12:14,573
No, we just said we didn't think
he had to resign over an affair...
237
00:12:14,743 --> 00:12:17,416
...that in this day and age,
he could get through that.
238
00:12:17,582 --> 00:12:19,246
- And you'd help him?
- I guess.
239
00:12:19,422 --> 00:12:22,212
Guessing's not good enough, Leo.
Did you say you'd help?
240
00:12:22,386 --> 00:12:24,299
- Yeah.
- Did the president say that?
241
00:12:24,475 --> 00:12:27,314
Something like that.
I can't remember exactly what he said.
242
00:12:27,482 --> 00:12:30,903
- Did you take any notes in the meeting?
- It wasn't a real meeting...
243
00:12:31,409 --> 00:12:33,619
It was kind of on the fly.
244
00:12:33,790 --> 00:12:36,463
Did you discuss strategies
on how to manage the scandal?
245
00:12:36,629 --> 00:12:40,170
It never got that far. Hoynes had his
mind made up before we said a word.
246
00:12:40,347 --> 00:12:42,176
I need you to get
the mayor here, now.
247
00:12:42,351 --> 00:12:45,642
- Which mayor?
- D.C. The only mayor we can get.
248
00:12:45,818 --> 00:12:47,481
I need to meet with the president.
249
00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:51,031
I can pull a couple of things
off his schedule this afternoon.
250
00:12:53,087 --> 00:12:55,546
The House and Senate just passed
the emergency...
251
00:12:55,718 --> 00:12:58,427
...D.C. supplemental appropriation
for snow removal.
252
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,605
That's the first bill signing we're
inviting the mayor to?
253
00:13:01,774 --> 00:13:04,186
They attached a school voucher
program to it.
254
00:13:05,367 --> 00:13:07,409
We, I mean...
255
00:13:07,579 --> 00:13:10,419
...you... Someone has to talk
to the mayor before we veto it.
256
00:13:10,587 --> 00:13:12,000
Wanna put out a joint statement...?
257
00:13:12,175 --> 00:13:14,004
When everyone has
the Hoynes article...
258
00:13:14,180 --> 00:13:18,349
...I'm gonna get bombarded about what
Hoynes says, and I've gotta be sure...
259
00:13:18,524 --> 00:13:20,649
...about what you three
said and didn't say.
260
00:13:20,821 --> 00:13:23,530
I can control this story, Leo.
I can get us through this.
261
00:13:23,703 --> 00:13:25,698
- lf you tell me everything.
- You got it.
262
00:13:25,875 --> 00:13:27,537
I should only see the press once.
263
00:13:27,713 --> 00:13:30,088
I don't wanna have to go
back out there, saying:
264
00:13:30,260 --> 00:13:33,182
"Hoynes was right about this bit"
that you forgot to tell me.
265
00:13:33,351 --> 00:13:36,641
- I understand.
- We gotta straighten our stories today.
266
00:13:43,501 --> 00:13:44,830
She okay?
267
00:13:45,005 --> 00:13:48,592
Well, you know, she got blindsided by
this Hoynes thing on live TV.
268
00:13:49,015 --> 00:13:53,948
- And that got to her?
- Yeah. It did.
269
00:14:14,243 --> 00:14:16,236
Are you saying there's
nothing we can do?
270
00:14:16,412 --> 00:14:19,995
It's not that simple. Look what happened
with the steel tariffs you wanted.
271
00:14:20,166 --> 00:14:23,783
We killed more jobs in auto
manufacturing than we saved in steel.
272
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,119
That means we have to pick
targets carefully.
273
00:14:26,296 --> 00:14:28,122
If we do that,
we'll have a trade war.
274
00:14:28,297 --> 00:14:30,503
We're already in a trade war
with China.
275
00:14:30,674 --> 00:14:33,959
That's why we gotta make bras
our first line of defense.
276
00:14:35,428 --> 00:14:38,712
- Bras?
- Chinese bras are killing us.
277
00:14:38,890 --> 00:14:41,096
- They are?
- They're flooding Wal-Mart.
278
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:42,844
Domestic producers can't compete.
279
00:14:43,018 --> 00:14:45,390
China has tripled its
market share in two years.
280
00:14:45,604 --> 00:14:48,224
I assume we're all okay
with French bras, right?
281
00:14:48,397 --> 00:14:50,888
- Because I greatly prefer them...
- This isn't funny.
282
00:14:51,066 --> 00:14:52,559
Of course not.
283
00:14:52,734 --> 00:14:54,312
Look, I'm with you on this one.
284
00:14:54,487 --> 00:14:57,900
I just wish the president could do
something about cheap bras.
285
00:14:58,072 --> 00:14:59,532
- He can.
- He can activate...
286
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:02,449
...the textile and apparel
import safeguards we got you...
287
00:15:02,618 --> 00:15:06,400
...to put in the deal admitting China
to the WTO, starting with bras.
288
00:15:06,578 --> 00:15:10,528
Apparel import safeguards.
Didn't know about that.
289
00:15:10,709 --> 00:15:14,622
Everyone will know tomorrow when we
burn bras in front of the White House.
290
00:15:19,924 --> 00:15:21,832
I'll be right back.
291
00:15:22,050 --> 00:15:25,005
Do you have long-run projections
for the economies of scale...
292
00:15:25,179 --> 00:15:27,668
...achievable through
net consolidations of troops...
293
00:15:27,847 --> 00:15:30,931
...and mat�riel if all of your
recommendations were implemented?
294
00:15:31,183 --> 00:15:36,057
On page 1237.
295
00:15:36,229 --> 00:15:39,811
Thirteen B shows the aggregate
numbers. Thirteen C...
296
00:15:39,982 --> 00:15:43,647
I need to borrow Ed and Larry
for a thing about bras.
297
00:15:43,819 --> 00:15:46,060
- Are you sure they're the guys?
- Chinese bras.
298
00:15:46,237 --> 00:15:47,980
Well, they're the experts.
299
00:15:48,156 --> 00:15:50,693
So is Hoynes crazy enough to run?
300
00:15:50,866 --> 00:15:53,440
You want the short answer? Yes.
301
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:58,913
If this article is his first step on the road
to political rehab, what does he do next?
302
00:15:59,081 --> 00:16:00,908
Start putting a staff together.
303
00:16:02,001 --> 00:16:03,459
I better make some calls.
304
00:16:03,669 --> 00:16:04,997
Yeah.
305
00:16:05,169 --> 00:16:08,870
That's why we wanna consolidate
these five Air Force bases into three.
306
00:16:09,048 --> 00:16:14,469
Excuse me. I'm sorry. Ed, Larry? Toby
needs to talk to you about China now.
307
00:16:15,846 --> 00:16:17,803
I need you two to take over.
308
00:16:17,972 --> 00:16:19,300
You sure?
309
00:16:19,473 --> 00:16:22,972
Just ask, "How much will that save?"
every few minutes.
310
00:16:23,144 --> 00:16:25,764
And don't you say a word.
311
00:16:28,314 --> 00:16:33,520
Please continue, General Stanley.
Donna and Ryan here will sit in for me.
312
00:16:34,152 --> 00:16:35,729
As I was saying...
313
00:16:35,903 --> 00:16:38,821
...if we consolidate the five
Air Force bases into three...
314
00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:42,405
...we could upgrade all three of
the aircraft maintenance facilities...
315
00:16:42,577 --> 00:16:45,031
...for major overhauls.
- How much does that save?
316
00:16:45,204 --> 00:16:47,492
Using CBO's baseline,
or the DOD projections?
317
00:16:47,998 --> 00:16:49,326
Both.
318
00:16:50,333 --> 00:16:51,661
Well...
319
00:16:51,876 --> 00:16:53,205
Russert's on line three.
320
00:16:53,377 --> 00:16:56,376
Time, Newsweek, well, everyone's called
about the Hoynes thing.
321
00:16:56,546 --> 00:16:58,834
- Has Greg Brock called me?
- No, Ben called...
322
00:16:59,006 --> 00:17:01,413
...said he has tickets to the
Kennedy Center, and...
323
00:17:01,591 --> 00:17:04,344
Tell Russert I can't do
Meet the Press next week.
324
00:17:12,601 --> 00:17:14,890
Hi, Greg, it's C.J. again.
325
00:17:15,062 --> 00:17:18,145
Did I mention how useful it is
for a reporter...
326
00:17:18,315 --> 00:17:21,730
...to have the White House
Press Secretary owe you one, a big one?
327
00:17:21,901 --> 00:17:23,229
So call me...
328
00:17:23,403 --> 00:17:26,936
...or tell me what dark parking garage
to meet you in, and I'll be there.
329
00:17:27,113 --> 00:17:29,235
Call me. Now.
330
00:17:29,407 --> 00:17:31,031
Greg Brock is here.
331
00:17:32,075 --> 00:17:34,281
You have a favorite
parking garage for this?
332
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:36,077
Come on in, Greg.
333
00:17:36,246 --> 00:17:39,365
Nice to formally meet you.
Of course, I've seen you in briefings.
334
00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:41,166
- I feel like I know you.
- Really?
335
00:17:41,334 --> 00:17:45,283
There's nothing to do in Paris, so I sat
there, glued to your briefings on C-SPAN.
336
00:17:45,461 --> 00:17:48,166
C-SPAN's what's happening
in Paris these days.
337
00:17:48,339 --> 00:17:50,830
Can I get you anything?
Carol, do we have anything?
338
00:17:51,009 --> 00:17:52,883
- Water.
- Yeah, thanks.
339
00:17:53,052 --> 00:17:55,258
- It's D.C. water.
- I'm good.
340
00:17:59,307 --> 00:18:02,261
Every word I say is off-the-record,
so you won't need that.
341
00:18:02,435 --> 00:18:05,304
- Okay.
- I assume Drudge's quotes are accurate?
342
00:18:05,479 --> 00:18:07,353
Yeah. I don't know how he does it.
343
00:18:07,522 --> 00:18:10,191
I'm gonna need an advance copy
of your piece.
344
00:18:11,192 --> 00:18:13,647
So much for beating
around the bush, huh?
345
00:18:13,819 --> 00:18:16,904
You can get advances of the
Sunday Times Magazine Thursday.
346
00:18:17,072 --> 00:18:18,780
- Everyone can on Thursday.
- Right.
347
00:18:18,948 --> 00:18:23,194
I wouldn't be talking to you if I needed
it Thursday. I need it before anyone else.
348
00:18:23,370 --> 00:18:26,323
I already got hit with questions
about it. I need it now.
349
00:18:26,496 --> 00:18:30,161
Sorry. I never give subjects
of an article sneak peeks.
350
00:18:30,334 --> 00:18:32,456
But I'm not a subject of the piece.
351
00:18:32,626 --> 00:18:34,286
Am I?
352
00:18:35,212 --> 00:18:40,550
Sure. If you hear anything about Hoynes
making moves on staff, let me know.
353
00:18:40,717 --> 00:18:43,005
Okay. Thanks.
354
00:18:43,886 --> 00:18:45,713
You left the kid alone with the brass?
355
00:18:45,888 --> 00:18:48,424
Just for a minute. He seems
to have a feel for that.
356
00:18:48,598 --> 00:18:51,089
He's faking. If you learn one thing
in prep school...
357
00:18:51,267 --> 00:18:53,592
...it's how to pretend
you know what's going on.
358
00:18:53,769 --> 00:18:57,054
Rena said Toby's stuck in some
Chinese bra thing, and can't...
359
00:18:57,230 --> 00:18:59,306
Okay, do the Chinese even need bras?
360
00:18:59,482 --> 00:19:01,523
- I mean, you know.
- No, I don't know.
361
00:19:01,693 --> 00:19:03,850
Some of us are trying
to govern here, Josh.
362
00:19:04,027 --> 00:19:06,649
Toby asked if you could cover
a meeting with the mayor.
363
00:19:06,823 --> 00:19:10,404
I said yes, assuming you're trying to
stay out of the Base Closing meeting.
364
00:19:10,576 --> 00:19:12,983
- Good call.
- Great. Mayor's on his way.
365
00:19:13,744 --> 00:19:16,116
Hey, Donna, which mayor?
366
00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:20,238
I'm not gonna play that game. Who is or
isn't in the piece, or what it's about.
367
00:19:20,417 --> 00:19:24,497
I wouldn't be asking you if Drudge didn't
have it, if he wasn't quoting it online.
368
00:19:24,671 --> 00:19:26,497
Drudge has better sources
than you do.
369
00:19:26,672 --> 00:19:28,047
Like maybe Hoynes' publisher?
370
00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:30,671
Publisher? Hoynes is writing a book?
371
00:19:30,843 --> 00:19:35,136
Just got a $5-million advance.
Must be saving some good stuff for it.
372
00:19:36,681 --> 00:19:38,756
Wish I could help you out, C.J.
373
00:19:41,685 --> 00:19:44,935
But that's just my policy.
No sneak peeks.
374
00:19:48,732 --> 00:19:52,100
By the way, do you think there's any
chance I could get an exclusive...
375
00:19:52,276 --> 00:19:56,060
...with the president on his reaction to
what Hoynes has to say in my article?
376
00:20:03,327 --> 00:20:05,653
Yeah.
There's a chance.
377
00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:07,537
But I can't promise it.
378
00:20:07,705 --> 00:20:11,205
Can you promise me that he won't
give anybody else an exclusive on this?
379
00:20:11,375 --> 00:20:13,036
- Yes.
- Can you promise me...
380
00:20:13,211 --> 00:20:16,875
...that if he issues a written statement,
I'll get a copy before anyone else?
381
00:20:17,048 --> 00:20:18,423
Yes.
382
00:20:20,300 --> 00:20:22,671
You sure you can't
promise me an exclusive?
383
00:20:22,885 --> 00:20:24,677
Yeah, I'm sure.
384
00:20:27,098 --> 00:20:28,427
Well.
385
00:20:28,599 --> 00:20:30,805
I really enjoyed finally meeting you.
386
00:21:03,921 --> 00:21:06,955
Could you print copies for Toby,
Josh, Leo and the president?
387
00:21:07,130 --> 00:21:10,214
The Hoynes article? How bad is it?
388
00:21:14,096 --> 00:21:17,464
- So it's true. We could use the apparel...
- The apparel import safeguard.
389
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,967
To protect American bras.
390
00:21:19,141 --> 00:21:20,849
Yes, but we can't do anything...
391
00:21:21,017 --> 00:21:24,351
...until you file a safeguard petition.
- Done.
392
00:21:24,521 --> 00:21:25,931
- But...
- Another "but"?
393
00:21:26,105 --> 00:21:28,892
...our trade representative
is in Beijing right now...
394
00:21:29,066 --> 00:21:32,482
...working on a deal for exporting
American-made cars to China.
395
00:21:33,445 --> 00:21:37,277
And using the apparel import safeguard
against bras could kill the deal on cars?
396
00:21:37,448 --> 00:21:38,824
- Exactly.
- The Hoynes article.
397
00:21:38,991 --> 00:21:42,158
- Better talk to the auto workers.
- You know what they'll say.
398
00:21:42,328 --> 00:21:44,900
- That won't make it easier.
- Let's take a break.
399
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:47,653
And you can talk about which
is more important to you:
400
00:21:47,832 --> 00:21:49,907
Cars or bras.
401
00:21:53,378 --> 00:21:55,371
We appreciate your
coming in, Mr. Mayor.
402
00:21:55,547 --> 00:21:57,623
Nice to finally see
the inside of the place.
403
00:21:57,799 --> 00:22:00,336
Could you excuse me for one second?
404
00:22:00,509 --> 00:22:01,838
Sure.
405
00:22:02,094 --> 00:22:04,666
If the port is too shallow
for most naval ships...
406
00:22:04,845 --> 00:22:07,005
...then why not recommend
closing that base?
407
00:22:07,182 --> 00:22:10,266
- Whose district?
- Chris Finn's.
408
00:22:10,893 --> 00:22:14,226
Because the Base Closing Commission,
while independent, is not insane.
409
00:22:14,396 --> 00:22:17,763
They won't recommend closing in
a Congressional district represented...
410
00:22:17,941 --> 00:22:21,724
...by the chairman of the Appropriations
Subcommittee on Armed Services.
411
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,988
Sorry about this.
I'm gonna be tied up a little longer.
412
00:22:25,154 --> 00:22:27,064
Don't let Ryan slow you down.
413
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,108
We also recommend no changes for
Point Mugu Naval Air Station...
414
00:22:31,285 --> 00:22:34,654
- This can't be your first time here.
- It is during this administration.
415
00:22:34,830 --> 00:22:37,534
The Hoynes article.
416
00:22:39,374 --> 00:22:43,752
So the president wants to issue
a joint statement with you opposing...
417
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,087
...the voucher rider on the
snow-removal appropriation.
418
00:22:47,257 --> 00:22:49,332
But I want the money.
419
00:22:49,508 --> 00:22:51,087
We'll get it for you eventually.
420
00:22:51,261 --> 00:22:54,425
We'll have to go through one round
of the president vetoing it...
421
00:22:54,596 --> 00:22:58,807
...in order to get them to send us
a clean bill, with no vouchers attached.
422
00:22:59,474 --> 00:23:02,179
I want the voucher money too.
423
00:23:03,436 --> 00:23:06,188
I'd like the president to sign the bill
with the vouchers.
424
00:23:06,357 --> 00:23:09,439
Mr. Mayor, he's vetoed every school
vouchers bill they've sent.
425
00:23:09,608 --> 00:23:12,609
I know.
But this is just a pilot program.
426
00:23:12,779 --> 00:23:14,900
Little voucher experiment.
427
00:23:15,070 --> 00:23:18,322
Help pay for maybe a couple hundred
kids to go to private school...
428
00:23:18,491 --> 00:23:21,444
...out of 68,000 in the D.C.
public school system.
429
00:23:21,619 --> 00:23:23,824
We're against vouchers. Period.
430
00:23:23,995 --> 00:23:27,198
And by "we,"
I mean the entire Democratic Party.
431
00:23:27,373 --> 00:23:29,531
You're still a Democrat, right?
432
00:23:31,335 --> 00:23:36,959
This bill got four Democratic votes
in the Senate, and 42 in the House.
433
00:23:37,215 --> 00:23:41,959
Look. It wasn't my idea to put Congress
in control of the D.C. budget.
434
00:23:42,136 --> 00:23:43,795
Then help us fight them on this.
435
00:23:43,971 --> 00:23:45,761
Why don't you help me...
436
00:23:45,932 --> 00:23:47,969
...get some kids a better education?
437
00:23:49,349 --> 00:23:52,801
But if we bring him in to talk about it,
then there's...
438
00:23:52,978 --> 00:23:55,813
Congressman Finn would not only
prevent closing the base...
439
00:23:56,024 --> 00:24:00,897
...in his district, he would make it his
life's mission to derail the entire process.
440
00:24:01,736 --> 00:24:05,318
The next base on our list is
Twentynine Palms Marine Base...
441
00:24:05,490 --> 00:24:09,071
...which is our best training
facility for desert warfare.
442
00:24:09,409 --> 00:24:12,444
And, obviously, we need to expand...
443
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:21,745
Hi. Could you get me Congressman
Christopher Finn, please?
444
00:24:22,086 --> 00:24:24,956
Ryan Pierce. I'm with the...
445
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,454
...Base Closing Commission.
446
00:24:55,697 --> 00:24:57,025
Can you believe this guy?
447
00:24:57,198 --> 00:24:59,736
Yeah, I can.
This is the Hoynes I know...
448
00:24:59,910 --> 00:25:02,779
...self-centered, self-important...
449
00:25:09,459 --> 00:25:10,787
Charlie?
450
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,453
They ready for me?
451
00:25:12,629 --> 00:25:15,498
I think they're still reading,
but you can go in.
452
00:25:16,172 --> 00:25:17,500
- C.J.
- Yeah.
453
00:25:17,675 --> 00:25:22,134
Don't go on TV with Taylor Reid again,
unless you tell him he's an idiotic punk.
454
00:25:22,302 --> 00:25:24,130
I think he knows that.
455
00:25:30,519 --> 00:25:33,685
I never said he could "beat the rap."
456
00:25:36,774 --> 00:25:39,181
I didn't say any of this.
457
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:42,194
We have to get the mayor on
the president's schedule today.
458
00:25:42,361 --> 00:25:44,069
- Which mayor?
- D.C.
459
00:25:44,238 --> 00:25:45,648
It's about time.
460
00:25:45,823 --> 00:25:47,400
No problem.
461
00:25:47,573 --> 00:25:49,780
Oh, for God's sake.
462
00:25:49,993 --> 00:25:53,611
- I don't remember the exact words.
- "Weather."
463
00:25:53,872 --> 00:25:55,863
I think you said:
"We could weather this."
464
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,578
- How does it differ from "beat the rap"?
- It's different.
465
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:00,873
Not enough for me to go
and fight about it.
466
00:26:01,252 --> 00:26:03,458
Did you tell him not to use
White House phones?
467
00:26:03,630 --> 00:26:05,538
No. I said:
468
00:26:05,714 --> 00:26:08,751
"Didn't you know the White House
keeps records of phone calls?"
469
00:26:08,926 --> 00:26:11,297
Oh, great.
That's completely different.
470
00:26:11,594 --> 00:26:14,714
Did you tell him this could be a right-wing
conspiracy against the White House?
471
00:26:14,888 --> 00:26:17,379
- Absolutely not.
- Did you tell him he could deny it?
472
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:20,474
I asked him if he was
in a position to deny it.
473
00:26:21,310 --> 00:26:23,552
Okay. Couple more things.
474
00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:25,104
He says you wanted details...
475
00:26:25,314 --> 00:26:27,023
...and he said it wasn't your business.
- Yes.
476
00:26:27,191 --> 00:26:31,188
Leo, did you say she was a cheap whore
and suggest she had other customers?
477
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,860
No. I said she was a cheap person
because she sold her story.
478
00:26:35,030 --> 00:26:36,738
What kind of person does that?
479
00:26:36,908 --> 00:26:40,239
Mr. President, did you say, "We've gotta
start attacking her tonight"?
480
00:26:40,410 --> 00:26:42,035
- No.
- Anything like that?
481
00:26:42,204 --> 00:26:46,532
I think I said, "If we're gonna get him
through this, we have to start now."
482
00:26:46,707 --> 00:26:50,241
I said "Since she sold her story,
she won't have a lot of credibility."
483
00:26:50,418 --> 00:26:51,794
Anything else about her?
484
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:55,373
- Nothing.
- You sure?
485
00:26:55,548 --> 00:26:57,091
Yeah.
486
00:26:57,717 --> 00:26:59,424
I'm done.
487
00:27:02,555 --> 00:27:04,676
You think he's getting ready to run?
488
00:27:05,639 --> 00:27:08,557
I made some calls. He hasn't made
any moves on staff yet.
489
00:27:08,725 --> 00:27:11,513
I called the usual suspects in lowa
and New Hampshire...
490
00:27:11,729 --> 00:27:14,265
...I'm waiting to hear back...
- He's writing a book.
491
00:27:15,648 --> 00:27:17,142
- A book?
- Greg Brock told me.
492
00:27:17,316 --> 00:27:19,771
- Big advance.
- Then he's definitely running.
493
00:27:19,942 --> 00:27:22,648
He's gonna make the book the final
word on the scandal...
494
00:27:22,821 --> 00:27:25,655
...hold his wife's hand on Oprah,
and get a flight to lowa.
495
00:27:25,823 --> 00:27:27,400
And rewrite history
with the book.
496
00:27:27,575 --> 00:27:32,201
His own version of every conversation
we've ever had with him.
497
00:27:42,462 --> 00:27:45,997
We gotta take a shot at Hoynes. He
should know we have ways to fight.
498
00:27:46,174 --> 00:27:47,965
- What ways?
- We need a list.
499
00:27:48,134 --> 00:27:51,383
- Of what?
- All of his private, on-the-job screwups.
500
00:27:51,553 --> 00:27:56,215
Every time Hoynes gave the president
bad advice, every mistake, big and small.
501
00:27:57,767 --> 00:28:00,257
That mess he made
with Mexico on immigration.
502
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:02,516
How he tipped our hand
on the energy bill.
503
00:28:02,688 --> 00:28:05,938
And lost the entire New York
delegation on the transportation bill.
504
00:28:06,108 --> 00:28:07,766
We leak it to the press,
bit by bit.
505
00:28:07,942 --> 00:28:09,934
No, give it to me. I'll fire a warning.
506
00:28:10,110 --> 00:28:12,317
Not in the briefing room.
It's too big a story.
507
00:28:12,488 --> 00:28:15,239
- And we'll all look bad.
- I won't do it in the briefing.
508
00:28:16,866 --> 00:28:18,906
You'll have the list in an hour.
509
00:28:26,624 --> 00:28:28,913
The first 10 pages are
legislative achievements.
510
00:28:29,084 --> 00:28:30,578
Which Hoynes almost screwed up.
511
00:28:30,753 --> 00:28:33,705
Right. The next section are the bills
he really screwed up...
512
00:28:33,879 --> 00:28:36,632
...and the last 12 pages have
all the diplomatic stuff.
513
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,333
He offended seven South American
heads of state in a five-day trip.
514
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:41,881
Got the China statement?
515
00:28:42,054 --> 00:28:44,129
We're gonna make a move on bras.
516
00:28:44,306 --> 00:28:46,428
You sure you don't wanna
insert a joke here?
517
00:28:46,598 --> 00:28:49,636
So we wanna scare them on bras
to get us a better deal on cars.
518
00:28:49,811 --> 00:28:52,597
Exactly. So go tough on bras,
but not too tough.
519
00:28:52,770 --> 00:28:54,312
- And promise me something.
- What?
520
00:28:54,482 --> 00:28:58,395
You'll never let them list my screwups.
They wouldn't have enough paper.
521
00:28:58,567 --> 00:29:02,611
The president can sign the bill,
and say he still opposes vouchers.
522
00:29:02,779 --> 00:29:06,562
I mean, he signs bills with little things
in them that he opposes all the time.
523
00:29:06,741 --> 00:29:09,148
We open the door on vouchers,
we'd have a revolt...
524
00:29:09,327 --> 00:29:11,734
...by most of the Democrats
on the Hill.
525
00:29:12,746 --> 00:29:14,573
I'm sorry.
526
00:29:14,747 --> 00:29:17,701
Mr. Mayor, can you excuse me
again for a second?
527
00:29:17,875 --> 00:29:20,164
Sure. I'll wait.
528
00:29:20,336 --> 00:29:24,333
Fifty percent of jobs in my district are
dependent on that base. Fifty percent...
529
00:29:24,506 --> 00:29:27,257
- Congressman Finn...
- It's been there since World War II.
530
00:29:27,424 --> 00:29:29,252
The town grew up around the base.
531
00:29:29,427 --> 00:29:31,217
There is no town without the base.
532
00:29:31,387 --> 00:29:34,637
I want you to know you have
the president's complete support.
533
00:29:34,848 --> 00:29:37,220
See? The president gets it.
534
00:29:37,391 --> 00:29:39,017
You can't close this base.
535
00:29:40,102 --> 00:29:41,762
- Thanks, Josh.
- Josh, we didn't...
536
00:29:41,937 --> 00:29:44,013
I thought we should bring
the congressman...
537
00:29:44,232 --> 00:29:45,725
Can I see you for a sec?
538
00:29:54,239 --> 00:29:55,899
Okay. That's it. You're fired.
539
00:29:56,074 --> 00:29:57,865
That's good. Okay.
540
00:29:58,033 --> 00:29:59,943
Wave your finger.
Act like you'll hit me.
541
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,325
- You out of your mind?
- That's good. Great.
542
00:30:02,496 --> 00:30:05,449
Show Congressman Finn
you're ready to kill to save his base.
543
00:30:06,458 --> 00:30:07,916
He's gonna love you for this.
544
00:30:08,083 --> 00:30:11,287
He'll back you up on everything you
want the commissioners to do...
545
00:30:11,462 --> 00:30:14,000
...and they're a lot more afraid
of him than of you.
546
00:30:14,172 --> 00:30:16,461
- Just give me your West Wing pass.
- That's good.
547
00:30:16,632 --> 00:30:19,503
Here. Here. Great.
Does Finn look like he's buying this?
548
00:30:19,677 --> 00:30:21,965
I told you not to open your mouth
in that room.
549
00:30:22,137 --> 00:30:25,672
Finn will be grateful to you for the
rest of his life for saving his base.
550
00:30:25,848 --> 00:30:29,182
You're gonna get credit for what
the commission was gonna do anyway.
551
00:30:30,728 --> 00:30:32,555
You planned this?
552
00:30:32,855 --> 00:30:34,681
Do you want me to cry? I can...
553
00:30:34,856 --> 00:30:37,525
...I can do that.
I can look like I'm crying.
554
00:30:40,653 --> 00:30:41,898
Stop.
555
00:30:42,070 --> 00:30:46,281
The president is considering a petitionto impose an import safeguard on...
556
00:30:46,449 --> 00:30:48,775
... Chinese-made apparel,beginning with bras.
557
00:30:48,952 --> 00:30:50,944
- We may consider...
- You ready for us?
558
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,496
A couple of minutes.
559
00:30:52,663 --> 00:30:55,154
The president will continueto press the Chinese...
560
00:30:55,332 --> 00:30:57,657
... to open their marketsto American-made cars...
561
00:30:57,834 --> 00:31:01,498
... since China is now the world's fastestgrowing market for cars and trucks.
562
00:31:01,670 --> 00:31:03,912
Mr. Mayor. Hi. I'm Charlie Young.
563
00:31:04,089 --> 00:31:05,749
Hey, Charlie. Good to meet you.
564
00:31:05,966 --> 00:31:08,292
- How you doing?
- I'm doing great. Just great.
565
00:31:08,469 --> 00:31:11,254
I wanted to introduce myself because,
well, I'm a big fan.
566
00:31:11,428 --> 00:31:13,718
- Well, thank you.
- I voted for you both times.
567
00:31:13,889 --> 00:31:15,348
I hope you vote for me again.
568
00:31:15,515 --> 00:31:17,342
- Every time.
- Is he starting a bra war?
569
00:31:17,518 --> 00:31:21,265
No, the president has no intention
of starting a worldwide bra war.
570
00:31:21,437 --> 00:31:25,979
I don't think the president would ever
start a war that the French might win.
571
00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:29,814
Can you confirm or deny statements
former Vice President Hoynes attributed...
572
00:31:29,986 --> 00:31:32,773
...to President Bartlet and Leo McGarry?
- The president...
573
00:31:32,947 --> 00:31:35,437
Specifically, did they insist
he could beat the rap?
574
00:31:35,615 --> 00:31:38,901
Okay, everyone get this down,
because I'm only gonna say this once.
575
00:31:39,077 --> 00:31:40,618
The president and Mr. McGarry...
576
00:31:40,787 --> 00:31:43,990
...feel they have not been accurately
quoted, but they refuse to...
577
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:46,579
Hold on, Mark.
They refuse to comment...
578
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:49,952
...on any part of the conversation
with the vice president prior...
579
00:31:50,127 --> 00:31:53,377
...to his resignation. They felt
they provided advice and support...
580
00:31:53,547 --> 00:31:56,168
...to a friend with
a serious personal problem...
581
00:31:56,384 --> 00:31:58,292
...that would affect
his work and family.
582
00:31:58,468 --> 00:32:03,095
They believe it was a private conversation,
and as far as they're concerned, it still is.
583
00:32:04,848 --> 00:32:07,470
I'm sorry, Mr. President,
but we can argue all night...
584
00:32:07,642 --> 00:32:10,677
...and I won't change my mind.
- Again.
585
00:32:11,521 --> 00:32:13,264
I'm not the only one.
586
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,440
My school board president
changed her mind too.
587
00:32:16,608 --> 00:32:18,019
- Janny?
- Scott.
588
00:32:18,193 --> 00:32:21,644
She's in favor of vouchers now?
She used to rail against them.
589
00:32:21,822 --> 00:32:26,032
After six years of us promising
to make schools better next year...
590
00:32:26,201 --> 00:32:29,734
...we're ready to give vouchers a try.
We're ready to give anything a try.
591
00:32:29,911 --> 00:32:33,492
You start handing out tuition vouchers
for private schools...
592
00:32:33,664 --> 00:32:36,997
...you're sending the message it's
time to give up on public schools.
593
00:32:37,167 --> 00:32:40,001
With all due respect, Mr. President,
no one talks to me...
594
00:32:40,170 --> 00:32:41,961
...about giving up on public schools.
595
00:32:42,130 --> 00:32:45,165
I assume I'm the only one here
who went to public school.
596
00:32:45,340 --> 00:32:47,416
And you're the best
advertisement for them.
597
00:32:47,592 --> 00:32:49,632
Kids didn't bring guns
to school in my day.
598
00:32:49,802 --> 00:32:54,131
Republicans wanna spend more on D.C.
education, do it on public schools.
599
00:32:54,307 --> 00:32:56,133
We spend over $ 13,000 per student.
600
00:32:56,308 --> 00:32:59,262
That's more than anywhere else,
without a lot to show for it.
601
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:02,768
But if we start diverting money
away from public schools...
602
00:33:02,938 --> 00:33:05,346
...that's the beginning of the end
of public education.
603
00:33:05,524 --> 00:33:09,604
This is extra money Republicans will give
only for the vouchers. Nothing else.
604
00:33:09,778 --> 00:33:11,686
They're using you
to divide the party.
605
00:33:11,863 --> 00:33:17,153
I'm the only mayor in America with
funds run by Congress and the president.
606
00:33:17,326 --> 00:33:21,572
And you guys never pass up playing
political games with the city I'm running.
607
00:33:21,747 --> 00:33:24,034
Your Honor, I'm not suggesting
how to run D. C...
608
00:33:24,206 --> 00:33:25,784
Yes, you are, Mr. President.
609
00:33:25,958 --> 00:33:27,618
Congress is, too, and I resent it.
610
00:33:27,793 --> 00:33:29,251
But this time...
611
00:33:29,419 --> 00:33:33,962
...they wanna give me money for
something that might help students.
612
00:33:35,716 --> 00:33:37,375
I'm sorry.
613
00:33:37,552 --> 00:33:39,757
I don't know how to refuse that.
614
00:33:42,764 --> 00:33:44,341
This is a pilot program?
615
00:33:44,516 --> 00:33:46,638
Enough money for
a couple hundred students.
616
00:33:46,809 --> 00:33:50,937
I have a few thousand names
on a waiting list for vouchers, already.
617
00:33:51,104 --> 00:33:52,930
Go into any one of my schools.
618
00:33:53,106 --> 00:33:56,190
Ask kids who wanna go to college
what they think of vouchers.
619
00:33:56,358 --> 00:33:58,683
They'll ask you where
they can sign up.
620
00:34:00,070 --> 00:34:02,063
Could you ask Charlie
to come in, please?
621
00:34:08,076 --> 00:34:10,483
- Am I caught up on phone calls?
- Everybody but Ben.
622
00:34:10,663 --> 00:34:13,116
- You wanna see if I can get him?
- No, thanks.
623
00:34:16,126 --> 00:34:20,454
- What, did I screw up the China thing?
- No. That was great. Perfect.
624
00:34:20,628 --> 00:34:23,463
- You going over there now?
- Yeah.
625
00:34:23,924 --> 00:34:25,880
I thought maybe I could give you a ride.
626
00:34:26,050 --> 00:34:29,549
No. Thanks, Toby, but I'll be okay.
627
00:34:29,721 --> 00:34:31,096
You sure?
628
00:34:31,263 --> 00:34:33,588
Yeah. I'll see you later.
629
00:34:33,765 --> 00:34:36,434
Charlie, would you sit down, please?
630
00:34:40,271 --> 00:34:42,726
Would you tell us where
you went to high school?
631
00:34:42,898 --> 00:34:45,104
- Roosevelt.
- A public school.
632
00:34:45,275 --> 00:34:48,275
- Yes, sir.
- Where did you wanna go to school?
633
00:34:48,444 --> 00:34:49,985
Gonzaga.
634
00:34:50,155 --> 00:34:53,357
- A parochial school. Near Union Station.
- Why?
635
00:34:53,531 --> 00:34:55,155
There's never been a shooting...
636
00:34:55,325 --> 00:34:56,902
...no metal detectors...
637
00:34:57,076 --> 00:34:59,116
...almost everyone goes to college.
638
00:34:59,287 --> 00:35:02,571
- Couldn't afford it?
- Couldn't come close to affording it.
639
00:35:04,166 --> 00:35:05,909
You know what this meeting's about?
640
00:35:06,083 --> 00:35:08,077
Yes, sir. The mayor told me.
641
00:35:08,294 --> 00:35:12,456
What do you think of an experimental
voucher program for D.C. schools?
642
00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:14,754
I wish they had one
when I was in school.
643
00:35:15,717 --> 00:35:17,923
You planning on telling me that
anytime soon?
644
00:35:18,803 --> 00:35:20,961
Can't say that I was, sir.
645
00:35:21,429 --> 00:35:26,257
Your Honor, I'm gonna need your help
putting out fires within the party on this.
646
00:35:26,517 --> 00:35:28,095
You got it.
647
00:35:28,269 --> 00:35:30,261
Thank you, Mr. President.
648
00:35:38,152 --> 00:35:40,773
The vice president will see you now.
649
00:35:48,119 --> 00:35:51,237
- Hey, C.J., great to see you.
- Mr. Vice President.
650
00:35:51,413 --> 00:35:54,616
Come on with that title. I think we're
back to "John," don't you?
651
00:35:54,791 --> 00:35:56,498
How have you been? You look great.
652
00:35:56,668 --> 00:35:58,873
- Please, sit down.
- I don't wanna take up time.
653
00:35:59,045 --> 00:36:02,959
I'm the only lawyer here without
clients, so I've got time. Sit, please.
654
00:36:03,132 --> 00:36:05,373
You should take a look at this list.
655
00:36:17,352 --> 00:36:21,562
If you continue rehabilitating yourself by
throwing mud and lies at the president...
656
00:36:21,730 --> 00:36:24,019
C.J., you can stop. I get it.
657
00:36:27,986 --> 00:36:29,645
You mind if I keep this?
658
00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:33,439
Please do. You can give it to
whoever's ghostwriting your book.
659
00:36:34,408 --> 00:36:37,029
You can tell the president
not to worry about the book.
660
00:36:37,203 --> 00:36:38,744
I'm not gonna make him look bad.
661
00:36:38,911 --> 00:36:41,663
I'm trying to get the scandal
behind me so I can move on.
662
00:36:41,831 --> 00:36:44,072
The truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but?
663
00:36:44,249 --> 00:36:45,707
Well...
664
00:36:46,419 --> 00:36:48,540
I'm gonna call it Full Disclosure.
665
00:36:48,711 --> 00:36:50,335
What do you think? Good title?
666
00:36:53,131 --> 00:36:56,049
- Am I going to be in the book?
- Yes.
667
00:36:56,217 --> 00:36:58,506
Not mentioning you would be strange.
668
00:36:58,678 --> 00:37:01,050
I mean, after the president
and vice president...
669
00:37:01,221 --> 00:37:03,712
...you're the most visible person
in the White House.
670
00:37:03,890 --> 00:37:05,633
I'd prefer not to be.
671
00:37:08,561 --> 00:37:10,768
C.J., you've got
nothing to worry about.
672
00:37:10,939 --> 00:37:12,516
I promise.
673
00:37:18,819 --> 00:37:21,524
What will you do in the campaign
when stories come out?
674
00:37:21,697 --> 00:37:24,365
- Those stories?
- No, the other women.
675
00:37:25,450 --> 00:37:29,399
- I haven't decided to run. I really...
- There have been other women, right?
676
00:37:30,079 --> 00:37:31,988
Lots of them. Right?
677
00:37:32,748 --> 00:37:34,741
Because the way
you came on to me...
678
00:37:34,917 --> 00:37:38,665
- Way too smooth, way too practiced...
- C.J., that was 10 years ago.
679
00:37:38,837 --> 00:37:40,415
- I'm sorry.
- When you run...
680
00:37:40,588 --> 00:37:42,628
...the press will find some
of those women.
681
00:37:42,798 --> 00:37:44,340
And if you try to attack them...
682
00:37:44,507 --> 00:37:47,046
...if you get your opposition
research team on them...
683
00:37:47,218 --> 00:37:50,220
...if you try to destroy them,
say they're bimbos and liars...
684
00:37:50,388 --> 00:37:51,847
...I'll be standing with them...
685
00:37:52,014 --> 00:37:55,051
...and I'll be ready to take anything you
or your people throw.
686
00:37:55,226 --> 00:37:59,305
So don't make me tell the truth about
you, because it will be the whole truth.
687
00:39:02,364 --> 00:39:05,033
- You okay?
- No.
688
00:39:05,951 --> 00:39:07,659
Is there anything I can do?
689
00:39:08,661 --> 00:39:10,322
No.
690
00:39:10,955 --> 00:39:12,698
Okay.
691
00:39:13,457 --> 00:39:14,916
What do I need to catch up on?
692
00:39:16,085 --> 00:39:19,749
The president signed a school
vouchers bill for D.C.
693
00:39:19,921 --> 00:39:21,249
You kidding?
694
00:39:21,422 --> 00:39:24,626
I leave the building for an hour
and he switches parties?
695
00:39:25,383 --> 00:39:27,625
- You need a press release?
- No, it can wait.
696
00:39:27,802 --> 00:39:29,213
I'll be in my office.
697
00:39:29,388 --> 00:39:32,057
- Toby.
- Yeah?
698
00:39:51,281 --> 00:39:54,814
There is no night of my life I regret
more than that one.
699
00:39:54,992 --> 00:39:59,618
- You don't have to explain it.
- I wish I could, but I can't explain it.
700
00:40:00,538 --> 00:40:02,696
I knew he was married.
701
00:40:04,042 --> 00:40:05,832
I knew it.
702
00:40:07,127 --> 00:40:09,748
I always thought women
who do that...
703
00:40:14,842 --> 00:40:17,084
If I could take back...
704
00:40:17,469 --> 00:40:21,513
...one moment of my life, it would be
getting on that elevator...
705
00:40:31,398 --> 00:40:33,022
I'm sorry.
706
00:40:33,733 --> 00:40:35,310
Don't have to apologize to me.
707
00:40:35,484 --> 00:40:38,687
I don't have anyone else
I can apologize to.
708
00:40:42,575 --> 00:40:46,819
I'll come to your office in a few minutes,
and we can work on the release.
709
00:40:47,620 --> 00:40:49,446
Sure.
710
00:41:22,649 --> 00:41:26,063
Ben. Hi, it's C.J.
711
00:41:29,154 --> 00:41:33,282
I guess I've had better days
at the office.
712
00:41:34,241 --> 00:41:37,941
You know, the usual,
and then some.
713
00:41:40,621 --> 00:41:43,077
Yeah, I'd love to.
714
00:41:43,250 --> 00:41:45,490
Let me just check
the schedule tomorrow...
715
00:41:45,667 --> 00:41:49,167
...when Carol's here, you know,
make sure I'm clear that night.
716
00:41:50,589 --> 00:41:52,796
That sounds great.
717
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,591
Ben...
718
00:41:55,885 --> 00:41:58,126
...could you do me a favor?
719
00:41:58,303 --> 00:42:03,427
Would you mind talking to me for
a while, and letting me just listen?
720
00:42:06,228 --> 00:42:07,887
I don't know, whatever you want.
721
00:42:08,062 --> 00:42:11,348
Just as long as it has nothing
to do with my job.
722
00:42:14,317 --> 00:42:15,977
Yeah.
723
00:42:17,070 --> 00:42:18,812
Really?62504
