1
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:05,600
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,800
- Interest in leaving the private sector?
- Offering a job?
3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,300
- I'm gauging your interest.
- A White House job.
4
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:14,500
- Don't make me think about it too hard.
- No, thanks.
5
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:16,200
- I need Charlie.
- We're working.
6
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:17,900
I heard "Brad Pitt. "
You're not working.
7
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,400
The Family Leave Expansion.
8
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:20,900
- Hello.
- Am I interrupting?
9
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,400
You were in New Hampshire?
10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,100
This country was founded on freedom.
Freedom stands opposed to constraints.
11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,900
The bigger the government,
the more the constraints.
12
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,200
You agree with that?
13
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,600
- No, it's crap, but you're really cute.
- Yeah, I know.
14
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:36,700
You're too good at this.
You can't just walk away.
15
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,300
Watch me.
16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,700
Are you sure I can't get you anything?
17
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:00,500
No, thank you.
18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,400
- I'm saying he needs a quiet news cycle.
- What, and it's my job to ensure that?
19
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:06,500
- Pretty much. Is she...?
- Go on in.
20
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,900
Is the president ready
for his press conference tomorrow?
21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,500
Unless Congress cooks up
more recipes for lame duck.
22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,600
Sorry about last week's veto override.
23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,600
I'm worried about this latest stunt.
24
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,700
Today's vote on stem cell funding.
Where did that come from?
25
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:23,300
The speaker wasn't thrilled
we found 55 million...
26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,600
...in the HHS budget
for stem cell research.
27
00:01:25,900 --> 00:01:28,700
Haffley's introducing legislation
to defund our program.
28
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:32,600
- "Embryonic" is their fighting word.
- Is funding limited to genetic material...
29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,400
- ...being thrown away?
- We have enough Republicans...
30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,800
...to make it close.
A dozen votes could decide.
31
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,700
The speaker saw an opening
with Democrats out campaigning.
32
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,200
I've been making calls all morning.
Twenty Democrats are flying back.
33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,800
In fact, I should...
34
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,700
Go. The president doesn't need
any more bad news in the next 18 hours.
35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,900
- He needs a good day.
- Count on it.
36
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,800
- Sorry. Did I miss it?
- Got his marching orders.
37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,900
- Been one of those days.
- About tonight.
38
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,000
Nobel laureates' dinner.
I brought my tux.
39
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:02,000
And dancing shoes? Latin jazz on tap?
40
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:05,300
For those of us who are seated
with the organometallic chemists...
41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,100
- ...and run out of small talk by the soup.
- I'm afraid you'll miss the soup.
42
00:02:09,500 --> 00:02:12,200
- Future Leaders for Democracy.
- Near future? Distant future?
43
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,900
- Middle schoolers, in fact.
- Not that. I'm wall-to-wall today.
44
00:02:16,300 --> 00:02:18,800
They won a commendation
for some Internet voting thing.
45
00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,700
- Give them 10 minutes.
- My whole day's been divvied up.
46
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:23,200
I never get to anything...
47
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:26,400
They were bumped off the president's
schedule, bumped from mine.
48
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:28,000
- They're on yours for 6.
- Why?
49
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,500
- It's their last day in town.
- I meant, why me?
50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,500
Because you're so good with kids.
51
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,900
- Congressman Santos.
- Did I miss it?
52
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,200
Doing the rule right now.
53
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,700
Sorry to cut it so close.
Traffic from Dulles.
54
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:44,800
- Appreciate interrupting the campaign.
- For stem cell? This one matters.
55
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:49,100
One more vote. One vote arriving.
56
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:52,800
I saw the news crews.
If you want a comment after....
57
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:55,100
Congrats on Arizona and New Mexico.
58
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,600
Keeps us alive.
Super Tuesday's the real gauntlet.
59
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,900
We appreciate this detour and calling so
many others out stumping for your guy.
60
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,000
Three months of primary potshots...
61
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:07,200
...it's a relief to see the Democrats
pulling on the same oar...
62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,300
...working together to protect....
63
00:03:09,900 --> 00:03:11,400
Thought you were in Atlanta.
64
00:03:11,500 --> 00:03:13,400
White House asked the VP
to pitch in.
65
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,800
- Important one.
- Vice president can't vote.
66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,100
As a former House member,
he retains lifetime floor privileges.
67
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,900
- He's in there?
- Whipping support for the president.
68
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,000
As only a vice president can do.
69
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,200
- He'll take questions on his way out.
- You arranged the press?
70
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,300
- I did.
- Nice touch, unless we don't win this.
71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,700
- Sneak him out the back.
- We have the votes.
72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,100
It'd be great. It's why we're all here.
A win for the president.
73
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:39,300
- Or not.
- Son of a bitch.
74
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:42,600
- What happened?
- Nothing to do with democracy.
75
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:44,300
- Now we can hit the road.
- Why?
76
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker saw how many Democrats were
in town, did the math, pulled the vote.
77
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,900
- He pulled the vote.
- Game over. We've been had.
78
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:42,900
- Can I get you some tea?
- Oh, no, thank you.
79
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,100
I make a mean cup of ocha.
80
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,300
- Perhaps I could proceed on my own.
- She won't be much longer.
81
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,600
She'll want the honor
of escorting you herself.
82
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,300
Jed.
83
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:03,600
- I can come back.
- No, no, stay, stay.
84
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:05,300
Jed, you have to use the cane.
85
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,500
Doc said I didn't have
to use it at home.
86
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000
I'm guessing he meant the residence,
sir, not the entire White House.
87
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,500
My home, where I'm having a party
tonight with dancing. You ready?
88
00:05:14,900 --> 00:05:18,300
I'm the product of a ballroom class
short on boys. Tall girls had to lead.
89
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,500
- Look how well it's served you.
- You're in rare form today, sir.
90
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:24,200
- He certainly is.
- The speaker withdrew his bill...
91
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:26,800
- ...attacking stem cell research.
- More good news.
92
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,900
He'll reschedule when
our guys leave town.
93
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,200
- That could be when?
- Tomorrow, during...
94
00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:34,300
- ...your press conference.
- Still, something to be said for MS.
95
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,200
- Good days, you don't take for granted.
- About tonight...
96
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,300
Nobel laureates, my favorite people.
97
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,500
I wanted to ask you
about Yosh Takahashi.
98
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:45,900
I assumed you weren't close.
99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,100
I mean, I know he's the economist
you shared the Nobel with.
100
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,800
- Not shared. Split.
- Right.
101
00:05:52,100 --> 00:05:55,500
Ours was not a shared prize
for shared work. The prize was split.
102
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,700
That year, the Swedes chose
to recognize two separate...
103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,600
...some would say divergent, even
contradictory, efforts in the same field.
104
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,300
He is a bit conservative.
105
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,800
He makes Milton Friedman
look middle-of-the-road.
106
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:12,000
Thank God he's half a globe away. We
don't have to think about him tonight.
107
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,600
- That's the thing.
- Be gentle. I'm not a well man.
108
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,400
- Dr. Takahashi was invited.
- He's flying in from Kyoto?
109
00:06:18,700 --> 00:06:21,200
He's a visiting scholar
at the University of Chicago.
110
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:23,700
- He's crashing my party?
- He's here now...
111
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:26,500
...waiting to pay his respects.
112
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,200
I got the message about
babysitting your student group.
113
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,000
- Can't stop. Running late.
- You sure I'm the right fit?
114
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:36,400
You're perfect.
I'll stop in to say hello.
115
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:39,300
I've got to review tapes
for tomorrow's press conference.
116
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,200
Why? You already said
the president's a natural.
117
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,200
- I did?
- Sounds like your schedule's clear.
118
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,000
Stay one more day.
Haffley will reschedule this.
119
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:52,700
Not if we're here. The speaker can
delay the vote for as long as he wants.
120
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Super Tuesday's coming.
I'm in a tight race.
121
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:57,600
So are plenty of Republicans.
Give me another day.
122
00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:00,700
- Would if I could. That dog won't hunt.
- Keep your phones on.
123
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:03,300
Don't board any flights
without talking to me first.
124
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,300
- Nice try.
- Mr. Speaker.
125
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:08,300
So Leg Affairs tougher than lobbying
or just different?
126
00:07:08,700 --> 00:07:11,400
- You are dead meat.
- It's a good sign that in year seven...
127
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,200
- ...the president can still rally the troops.
- This won't affect my serving.
128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,900
- I'm gonna slaughter you tomorrow.
- Save it for the court, dude.
129
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,200
Congressman, tell me
you're not leaving town.
130
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:31,300
I never leave town.
131
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,700
And you have the president's gratitude
for your committed service.
132
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,400
To be honest, I have some doubts
about funding stem cell research.
133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Of course you do.
134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,900
Yeah, I'm gonna miss
those little peach things.
135
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,200
Bring some to Cleveland for me.
136
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Bye. Sorry about the vote.
137
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,300
Strike one for stem cells?
138
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,500
Sometimes things are going so
smoothly, you don't see it coming...
139
00:07:59,700 --> 00:08:02,600
- ...till they fall apart.
- True.
140
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,300
You look changed. In a good way.
141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,500
Congratulations on the job.
142
00:08:12,700 --> 00:08:16,700
May not be mine after today, but, you,
onward and upward with Bingo Bob.
143
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:19,500
Vice president would stay
if he thought it would help.
144
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,500
- Thank him for the use of his office.
- If Leg Affairs didn't have this office...
145
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:27,300
- ...where would you camp out?
- I guess Josh worked out of here a lot.
146
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:30,800
- Back in the day.
- We need to have dinner sometime...
147
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,200
...so you can catch me up.
148
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,500
I'll be back after Super Tuesday.
149
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:39,300
Good luck on it.
150
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,600
The Kohasa rebels continue to arm
conscripts from refugee camps...
151
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,700
...along the Angola border.
152
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,200
Under this contingency,
we would mobilize near Llebo...
153
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
...where Intel reports
stocks of munitions and RPGs.
154
00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:54,700
But we're advocating wait and see.
155
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,700
Then we're done for now.
156
00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:00,200
Unless you want an update
on the Canada situation.
157
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,300
Right. Canada. Go on.
158
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,700
As you know, tensions along
the 49th parallel have been growing.
159
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,400
- What's their beef?
- Good one.
160
00:09:09,700 --> 00:09:12,400
Our ban on live Canadian cattle exports
is a catalyst...
161
00:09:12,700 --> 00:09:15,400
...but I wouldn't reduce this
to a simple mad-cow conflict.
162
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,500
- I'll avoid that.
- Hostilities escalated dramatically...
163
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,100
...at the start of snow goose hunting.
Certain Canadian ranchers posted...
164
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,200
- ... "no trespass" signs on property.
- Canadian property?
165
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:29,100
Yes, but where their Montana neighbors
had hunted quarry for generations.
166
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:31,800
- Are you from Interior?
- Fish and Wildlife, ma'am.
167
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:35,300
While an American party was setting
out decoys this morning...
168
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,400
...Canadians surrounded them.
169
00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:40,400
It's unclear whether Americans
have been taken hostage.
170
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,100
- Hostage?
- Well, that's affirm.
171
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:45,400
- Local law enforcement can't...?
- Before officials could respond...
172
00:09:45,700 --> 00:09:49,300
...one of the hunters, a retired
Montana state trooper, called in backup.
173
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Off-duty officers responded,
and they infiltrated...
174
00:09:52,300 --> 00:09:54,800
- ...the swath demarking the border.
- Shots been fired?
175
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:59,400
Yes, but there were geese
in the air at the time.
176
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,500
Do we even have a map of Canada?
177
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,800
Dr. Takahashi.
178
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:08,000
Mr. President. Dr. Bartlet.
179
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:10,100
What a lovely surprise.
180
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,800
Thank you for allowing me to say hello.
181
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,100
I regret that I'm so busy today.
182
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:24,500
But for an old friend....
These two met in grad school.
183
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,800
- And we competed even then.
- A fellowship you won, as I recall.
184
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:31,100
I was always the bookworm.
185
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
- He was the politician.
- I wasn't.
186
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,100
A tenure track was
all I aspired to back then.
187
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,900
But his economics
betrayed his true calling.
188
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:43,000
- How so?
- President of the welfare state.
189
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,600
The footnote to explain his theory.
190
00:10:46,300 --> 00:10:49,200
We'll have an opportunity
for more of this at dinner.
191
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:51,800
That, sir, would be
a rational expectation.
192
00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:55,900
They're setting tea in the other room.
Would you join me?
193
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,200
- Well, he's certainly a...
- Smug son of a bitch.
194
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,600
- "Rational expectation. "
- What?
195
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,100
Territory he claims to have pioneered.
196
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,700
Footnote, my ass.
197
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:13,300
- I don't think he was...
- As if his work would still be read if he...
198
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:15,600
...hadn't been assigning it to undergrads.
199
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,000
All due respect, sir,
you sit in this office.
200
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,700
You're pretty much not allowed
to harbor professional jealousies.
201
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,300
He started it.
202
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,200
- Congressman, you're still here.
- I got held up.
203
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:43,200
- I know you've got a fundraiser tonight.
- I'm on my way now.
204
00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:45,900
- Isn't there any chance...?
- Okay. Look unhappy.
205
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,100
You see how I'm shaking my head,
telling you, "No way"?
206
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:52,900
- I do. Are you telling me the opposite?
- I'm not sure yet. Don't smile.
207
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,800
- Is it too much if I slump?
- Careful.
208
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,300
- So where can we talk?
- My office, half an hour.
209
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:04,200
Look, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
210
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,100
I hear you're point man
on the Saskatchewan incursion.
211
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,200
You have the clearance
to discuss this?
212
00:12:14,500 --> 00:12:17,500
Vice president's on his way to Atlanta.
He wanted me to weigh in.
213
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,400
- He has an interest.
- Tell me this is a ruse to steal...
214
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,300
- ...moments of my promising company.
- He has an interest in the situation.
215
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:27,200
- He's a snow gooser.
- More a stalker of the black bear.
216
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:29,200
Owns a hunting cabin
north of Chinook.
217
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,700
Hunts with the governor.
They spoke today.
218
00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:33,800
He'd like to see this
resolved bloodlessly.
219
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,000
He's more concerned we not back
down, that we not appear weak.
220
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,500
- We?
- The United States.
221
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,800
There's no we. It's 15 drunks in camo.
222
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,900
- The vice president wants a hard line.
- Lock out the NHL?
223
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,400
Maple syrup embargo?
Turn off Niagara Falls?
224
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,800
I know you're disappointed.
225
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,900
We understand that the president
has other priorities.
226
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,100
We were cool with Ms. Cregg
as backup.
227
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,800
Even Mr. Ziegler made sense.
228
00:12:58,100 --> 00:13:01,100
Getting bumped to deputy press
secretary in charge of hairstyles...
229
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,300
- ...kind of sucks.
- I'm sure you're great at what you do.
230
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,500
If we were a media club,
we wouldn't be lodging this protest.
231
00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:09,500
We're not lodging a protest, Cody.
232
00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:13,400
We're a political group.
Did you even read our materials?
233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,300
As a matter of fact, I did.
234
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,200
Then you know a glorified field trip
is a waste of time.
235
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:22,000
Let's talk about it on our way
to the East Room.
236
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:34,900
- Josh.
- I love what you've done with the place.
237
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:37,800
- I expected the congressman.
- He's on his way...
238
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:41,200
- ...but you're wasting his time with this.
- Stem cell's not a waste.
239
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,500
- It's a win with women. You polled this.
- We have. That's not the....
240
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:49,000
Caregivers get what this means
for those with diabetes, Parkinson's...
241
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,200
- ALS, Alzheimer's. Yep, we're onboard.
- Great to hear.
242
00:13:52,500 --> 00:13:54,500
But we're not going
down with the ship.
243
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,400
The problem isn't stem cells.
244
00:13:56,700 --> 00:13:59,600
It's asking us to stay when
there's no strategy to win this.
245
00:13:59,900 --> 00:14:02,200
I am talking to the congressman
at his request...
246
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,400
...about his president's agenda.
Maybe you could give us a sec.
247
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,500
- You kicking me out of this office?
- I got a better idea.
248
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Why don't you give
Josh and me a minute.
249
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,700
Take your time.
My office is your office.
250
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,000
It was, in fact.
251
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:21,800
You set this up?
252
00:14:21,900 --> 00:14:24,600
- You can't let me out of your sight.
- This is a lose-lose.
253
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,500
As long as you stay, Haffley won't
call the vote. Soon as you leave, he will.
254
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:32,100
- There is one way.
- You have a plan to win this vote?
255
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,900
But I'm gonna need you to iron out
some crucial details with Cliff.
256
00:14:37,100 --> 00:14:39,200
- Yes, ma'am?
- What's this?
257
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,000
Operation Northern Lights.
It's a working title.
258
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:46,600
You wanna infiltrate Canada
with CIA operatives posing as ranchers?
259
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,800
Procedure in a hostage situation
on foreign soil, assess the threat level.
260
00:14:51,100 --> 00:14:53,000
Before the insertion-extraction phase?
261
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,300
Were you thinking Blackhawks
or a HALO drop?
262
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,200
I could game both out.
DefCon 1 out of Fort Bragg.
263
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,700
- The other out of...
- Stop.
264
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,400
The ranchers are making
a statement on television.
265
00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:05,300
Don't give this to anyone,
including me.
266
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,500
And the desk was made from
the timbers of the H.M.S. Resolute...
267
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:14,000
...which was presented to President
Hayes by Queen Victoria in 1880.
268
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,400
The presidential coat of arms
was added by FDR...
269
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:20,800
...who was President Bartlet's hero
when he was your age.
270
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,000
Thanks, Phil.
271
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,000
So are there any questions?
272
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:31,000
As promised, director of White House
communications, Mr. Toby Ziegler.
273
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,400
Hi, everybody.
Annabeth showing you the place?
274
00:15:33,700 --> 00:15:36,400
- We have the Roosevelt Room left.
- Don't let me interrupt.
275
00:15:36,700 --> 00:15:39,000
I have one question for Mr. Ziegler,
if I may.
276
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,100
- Sure. Fire away.
- Do you know who we are?
277
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,500
- Yeah, Junior Leaders of...
- Future Leaders for Democracy.
278
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,400
- Were you briefed on our purpose?
- Probably not.
279
00:15:48,700 --> 00:15:51,600
We're a youth lobby in support
of a constitutional amendment...
280
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:54,800
...to forbid discrimination
of voting rights on the basis of age.
281
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,500
- They want the voting age lowered.
- Abolished.
282
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,700
Well, that's radical.
283
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:01,900
Why did we get the brushoff today?
284
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,400
Why do we get passed
down the food chain?
285
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,800
Why do you keep looking at our
chaperone or Ms. Schott to intervene?
286
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:11,200
We're children, and that
shouldn't render us meaningless.
287
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,000
But in this society, we are meaningless.
We're powerless. We have no voice.
288
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,500
Well, that's an interesting point.
I'll read your stuff.
289
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,100
- The Roosevelt Room...
- The brushoff again.
290
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,800
And why not? No risk in offending us.
We don't exist.
291
00:16:26,500 --> 00:16:28,800
- What is it you want?
- More than a 15-minute tour...
292
00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:33,000
...and 30-second drive-by. We've been
shuffled around, 10 minutes here, there.
293
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,700
It's like there's a plot to keep us from
discussing our agenda.
294
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:41,200
What Cody means is that children's
suffrage is a complex issue, and it...
295
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,200
I get it. I get what he means.
296
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,200
Okay. This is the Roosevelt Room...
297
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,400
...where issues are discussed.
298
00:16:54,100 --> 00:16:55,900
Pull up a chair.
299
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,300
It's your meeting.
300
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,100
When he was asked why he wanted
a one-armed economist...
301
00:17:08,300 --> 00:17:10,700
...Truman said because he
was always being advised:
302
00:17:11,100 --> 00:17:13,900
"On the one hand....
But on the other hand.... "
303
00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,000
Academics often confound politicians.
304
00:17:18,300 --> 00:17:22,400
Yes. In politics, it's dog-eat-dog.
In academia, it's the opposite.
305
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:27,200
When Japan Railway privatized in '87...
306
00:17:27,700 --> 00:17:31,200
- ...my theories were put to the test.
- And you got lucky.
307
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,000
It would have been hard to fail
worse than the government had.
308
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,100
All that red ink.
309
00:17:37,300 --> 00:17:39,700
Must be why the private sector
turns to government...
310
00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:41,700
...for a bailout when things get tough.
311
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,700
And why disciplined leaders
learn to say no.
312
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,600
I'm so sorry to interrupt,
but they're calling us in for dinner.
313
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,700
Excuse us.
Does the steward have laryngitis?
314
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,600
It'd be a pity to battle MS,
only to succumb to an aneurysm.
315
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Jefferson said it best. "A man's
management of his own purse...
316
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,400
- ...speaks volumes about character. "
- Are you still pissed about Stockholm?
317
00:18:06,700 --> 00:18:08,800
We were Nobel laureates
in economics.
318
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,100
It was no empty gesture when he
stiffed me for the cab fare.
319
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:16,600
I hear there is to be Latin dancing
after dinner.
320
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,400
And he's a big fan.
321
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:22,500
I trust you'll save me
a tango, Dr. Bartlet.
322
00:18:24,500 --> 00:18:27,300
- Your dance card's full, toots.
- Jed, did you bring your cane?
323
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,200
- You can hold me up.
- Maybe I'll give him a little samba.
324
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,900
Over my dead body.
325
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:35,700
The prime minister wishes
to emphasize the unofficial nature...
326
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,100
...of the ranchers ' declaration
of war against the United States.
327
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,800
- Thank you.
- You have seen their demands...
328
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,100
- ... on Canadian television?
- We have.
329
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,300
Security officers at Waterton-Glacier
National Park are on ready response.
330
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,200
Reinforcements may be crossing over
through Peace Park.
331
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,200
We're concerned
about reports of escalation.
332
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,600
An effigy burning in Alberta.
333
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,300
A response to your governor
of Montana.
334
00:18:59,500 --> 00:19:01,600
He mentioned calling
in the National Guard.
335
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:04,900
He referred to a contingency plan
to invade Canada.
336
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,200
That is absurd.
There is no U.S. contingency plan to...
337
00:19:14,100 --> 00:19:15,800
Are you there?
338
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,600
I was saying, we trust that local officials
will resolve this very soon.
339
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:24,800
We'll be in touch.
340
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:27,700
We have a contingency plan
to invade Canada?
341
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:32,000
- Would you like to be briefed?
- Other developments?
342
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,100
- A sawmill in Climax is piling on.
- Is Climax us or them?
343
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,100
Them. They're demanding we drop
tariffs on soft-lumber products.
344
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:42,600
And a meatpacking plant
in Lodgepole. Us.
345
00:19:43,100 --> 00:19:45,300
Coffee for Americans
on their way to the front.
346
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,800
- Don't say "front. "
- Royal Canadians arrived...
347
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,800
...but they're at a disadvantage.
348
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:53,000
Mountie's standard issue
is a Smith and Wesson 9 mm.
349
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,300
And the hunters are packing
12-gauge shotguns. And?
350
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:58,800
A couple of
Barrett 50-caliber snipers...
351
00:19:59,500 --> 00:20:03,900
...HK carbine fiber assault rifles
and infrared night goggles.
352
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:23,300
- Congressman.
- Talk to Josh.
353
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,300
He's going to Hartford?
354
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,100
Folks there paid to shake his hand.
355
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:32,100
- You want me to...?
- No, no, stay put. I'm fine here.
356
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,100
But he can shake those hands
and be back in D.C. in a few hours.
357
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,300
And the dozen congressmen
who are heading out to stump for him?
358
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,900
- I'm ready to start calling them back.
- Thank you.
359
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Thank the congressman.
360
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,000
- Sorry.
- No.
361
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,700
If there's a single Republican
on his flight or someone sees him...
362
00:20:50,100 --> 00:20:52,700
He's flying himself.
He'll land at the private terminal.
363
00:20:53,100 --> 00:20:55,100
Question is, where does
he go after that?
364
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Give me half an hour.
It can be arranged.
365
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
- Hi.
- Congressman.
366
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:25,800
Do you wanna come in?
367
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,400
So the rumor's true.
You really do sleep in your office.
368
00:21:32,700 --> 00:21:34,600
Can't afford D.C. rent on this salary.
369
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,200
And in Pine Bluff,
we favor a short commute.
370
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,400
The president needs you, Arkansas.
371
00:21:39,700 --> 00:21:42,900
You shared my concerns, and I'm
being summoned to the White House?
372
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,300
It's more legwork.
The president needs...
373
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,100
...a loyal Democrat who can walk these
halls and look like he belongs here.
374
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,400
- Where do I start?
- Do you have some pants?
375
00:22:01,500 --> 00:22:05,000
I'm saying all societies distinguish
between an adult phase of life...
376
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,900
...and childhood as a time
of development...
377
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,100
- ...when rights are curtailed.
- But the 26th Amendment...
378
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,700
...lowering the voting age to 18,
proves the line is arbitrary.
379
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,500
There's a call for you.
380
00:22:16,700 --> 00:22:18,900
In the 30 years
since the 26th passed...
381
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,100
...society has not altered its stance
on when adulthood begins.
382
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:25,900
Eighteen is still the common age of
graduation from school, conscription.
383
00:22:26,300 --> 00:22:29,100
What about children as young as 12
get tried as adults?
384
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,000
I'm mature enough to face sentencing
as a full citizen but not to vote?
385
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,000
You can be dumb and commit a crime.
386
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,000
Voting requires a level of reasoning.
387
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,300
Adults don't have to prove
any level of reasoning to vote.
388
00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:43,800
I'll cede that. Would you agree
children need special protections...
389
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,100
- ...against mistreatment by adults?
- Sure.
390
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,900
Those same vulnerabilities make
them unable to vote independently.
391
00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:52,900
- That argument, immature logic...
- Being easy to coerce.
392
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,000
That was used to prevent Negroes
and women from voting...
393
00:22:56,300 --> 00:22:59,500
- ...up until the 20th century.
- Sorry. C.J.'s looking for you.
394
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:01,800
- Your next meeting.
- Dining and dancing.
395
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,400
And your parents called.
You guys are missing dinner.
396
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,900
Oh, my gosh, we are.
We took up a lot of your time.
397
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,500
It's been great, sir. Another half-hour,
I could've convinced you.
398
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:14,500
- I believe you.
- We heard District is the best pizza.
399
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,700
- Outrageous.
- They deliver, don't they?
400
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,400
I think so.
401
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,300
- I need the Mural Room for a meeting.
- Is it Canada?
402
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:29,700
Okay. Maybe I'm overly emotional
these days...
403
00:23:29,900 --> 00:23:33,200
...but Mother's Canadian, you know.
Dad hails from upstate...
404
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,300
...so there's always been
a north-south tug of war for us kids.
405
00:23:36,700 --> 00:23:40,400
Today's events, this is the kind
of thing that pulls families apart.
406
00:23:40,700 --> 00:23:42,900
Pits brother against brother.
407
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:50,200
- So can I have the room?
- All yours.
408
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,600
Give peace a chance.
409
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Get the door, get the door.
410
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,700
I wasn't looking.
I missed the whole thing.
411
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,400
He overdid it.
412
00:24:00,500 --> 00:24:02,900
A man his age attempting a tango.
413
00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:05,900
- The physician is on the way.
- There's no need.
414
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:07,800
Can we bring him some ice?
415
00:24:08,700 --> 00:24:11,000
You hit your head.
Did you hurt yourself?
416
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,600
You're the expert on soft landings.
You tell me.
417
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,100
He's fine.
418
00:24:22,300 --> 00:24:25,700
Congressman Santos is in Hartford
tonight. Do you wanna leave word?
419
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,800
- Sounds like I missed him.
- I can try him on his cell.
420
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,200
Just tell him I stopped by. Good night.
421
00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:35,900
Elvis has left the building.
422
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,900
Anyone see you? Okay, Arkansas.
Congressman Riley's approaching...
423
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:14,900
- ...the south entrance.
- Got it covered.
424
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,700
- Nice flight?
- Little turbulence, makes it interesting.
425
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,700
Does the vice president know
we're using his office?
426
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,200
I'm not telling him. I'd keep
the noise down and the curtains pulled.
427
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:26,800
- You aren't staying?
- I can't be seen around here.
428
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,100
- Can I get you anything?
- Is there coffee?
429
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:31,400
The soda's there.
Washroom is through there.
430
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,400
Thanks.
431
00:25:53,700 --> 00:25:56,200
No, no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Don't... Don't scream.
432
00:25:56,500 --> 00:25:58,100
- What the...?
- I'm sorry.
433
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,200
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, God. I didn't plan... I mean, I...
434
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,600
- Oh, I crashed.
- Your Russell's chicken fighter.
435
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,500
Donna Moss. You're Matt Santos.
436
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,100
Running for president.
437
00:26:10,500 --> 00:26:13,000
And I haven't shaken your hand yet.
438
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,100
Okay, assuming
I'm not in some state...
439
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,000
- ...of deep REM hallucination...
- I'm hiding out.
440
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:22,300
We're trying to outsmart the speaker...
441
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,500
...have him think we've all left town
before he calls the vote.
442
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:28,000
- Now, when you say we...?
- There's some others...
443
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,200
...that are coming. Excuse me.
444
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,700
- Does the vice president know you're...
- This is not for the Santos campaign.
445
00:26:35,100 --> 00:26:38,500
It's for the president.
I bet you're a fan.
446
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,900
You're not gonna try, "It's for stem
cells everywhere," are you?
447
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,700
That was going in next.
448
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:49,700
- I made a fool of myself.
- We all know the feeling.
449
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,600
- Even presidents?
- Especially presidents.
450
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,100
You're thinking
of last week's veto override?
451
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,300
No, but thanks for the reminder.
452
00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:01,800
Not that you should judge.
You'd veto all government spending.
453
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,000
You think I judge you?
454
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,500
We judge each other. Always have.
Put this on.
455
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,600
Thank you.
456
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,800
What if I were here as a friend
with a friendly warning?
457
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,100
- What would that be?
- Japan has been heavily investing...
458
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,900
...in your national debt.
459
00:27:20,100 --> 00:27:23,700
If you mean that Japan has been
buying U.S. Treasury bonds....
460
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,400
Foreign investors have bought...
461
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,400
...90 percent of your new debt.
462
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,800
My government alone holds
700 billion in assets.
463
00:27:35,100 --> 00:27:37,400
Since when did deficits bother you?
464
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,800
They bother you.
465
00:27:40,700 --> 00:27:44,400
Your work was a jeremiad
on keeping deficits low.
466
00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:47,200
My work applied
to developing economies.
467
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,500
There are rumors Singapore may
dump her dollars. It could start a run.
468
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:55,300
- Never happen.
- Japan could not afford to be caught...
469
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600
It's in Japan's own interest
for these notes to hold their value.
470
00:27:58,900 --> 00:28:02,400
We have an aging population.
We'll have to divest.
471
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,300
Gradually. A soft landing.
472
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,100
Not that I don't appreciate the sentiment
behind your nightmare scenario.
473
00:28:08,500 --> 00:28:10,700
A deficit projected over...
474
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,700
...300 billion on your watch...
475
00:28:13,900 --> 00:28:17,800
- ...is not my nightmare.
- Hence my veto of the Highways Bill.
476
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:23,500
Which I mistook for mutual concern
over the world's greatest economy...
477
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,400
...burdened with mounting debt...
478
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:31,300
...increasingly held by foreign friends.
479
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,200
What are friends for?
480
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,200
Thank you for seeing me.
I know you've had a long day.
481
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:43,200
Will said something's on your mind.
482
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,600
As Canadian ambassador,
I am pleased to report...
483
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
- ...all's quiet on the western front.
- Though still unresolved.
484
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:53,300
Yes. And when I spoke
with the vice president...
485
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:55,100
You called the vice president?
486
00:28:55,300 --> 00:28:57,300
The vice president
called the ambassador.
487
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:00,300
I've had some unofficial conversations.
488
00:29:00,700 --> 00:29:03,300
You understand I'm not at liberty
to speak officially.
489
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,000
- What are we talking about?
- You'll have to excuse my....
490
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,400
I haven't had much practice
at this kind of intrigue.
491
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:13,000
We all learn by doing.
492
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,500
Our two countries are close
and historic friends.
493
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:19,700
Yes, of course, there are
some areas where we differ.
494
00:29:20,100 --> 00:29:22,400
- Bovine spongiform is one.
- And lumber tariffs.
495
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:25,900
- Mail-order prescription drugs.
- And U.S. global military presence.
496
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,200
But on the whole, friends.
497
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:32,100
If you would trust me, I could prevail
upon the premier of the province...
498
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,700
...to exert pressure on his citizens
to relent...
499
00:29:36,500 --> 00:29:39,100
...and allow the Americans
back across the border.
500
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,700
- That'd be swell.
- Of course, this would create...
501
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:44,400
- ...some expectations.
- Expectations.
502
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:47,400
The ambassador suggested
if there were some flexibility...
503
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,900
...on the U.S. appeal
of NAFTA's lumber decision...
504
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,500
The U.S. does not make trade decisions
based on the actions of cowboys.
505
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,600
Unless they've been elected to office.
506
00:29:55,900 --> 00:29:58,400
I understand you can't negotiate
with me directly...
507
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,900
...but if you sense the possibility
of an openness...
508
00:30:02,500 --> 00:30:07,100
...to consider my proposal,
you could signal the same...
509
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,000
...by crossing your legs.
510
00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:12,900
Or uncrossing and crossing
them again, just to be sure.
511
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,200
Ambassador, listen carefully.
An hour ago...
512
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,500
...I reviewed the U.S. contingency
plan to invade your country.
513
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,700
- There's a contingency plan...?
-1789, amended in 1815.
514
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,300
The calligraphy is beautiful. If one
more deal is floated in this room...
515
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,200
...I'm gonna ask DOD to reactivate it.
516
00:30:29,900 --> 00:30:32,500
You could argue that 18 is
the worst age to start voting.
517
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,900
You're all worried about college
or paying rent or falling in love.
518
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:37,900
It isn't only power that corrupts.
519
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,300
Weakness corrupts.
Kids grow up cynical.
520
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,300
You think half of adults don't vote...
521
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:44,600
...because they didn't get
started soon enough?
522
00:30:44,900 --> 00:30:46,700
Absolutely. Churches don't wait.
523
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,300
They get kids at birth.
524
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,100
- It's as kids we have unique concerns.
- Like what?
525
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,500
I'm going to be breathing air and
drinking water after you're gone...
526
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,900
...but I can't vote to protect
the environment?
527
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,500
We're required to attend underfunded
schools but can't vote to fix them.
528
00:31:00,900 --> 00:31:04,300
Kids who work pay into Social Security
without say as to how it's managed.
529
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,600
When you guys fix Social Security,
you have to keep adults happy.
530
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:10,100
You can rob our future
without losing a vote.
531
00:31:10,300 --> 00:31:13,800
Here's another. Poverty among young
people exceeds all other age groups...
532
00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:17,400
...yet the government spends
10 times more on each poor senior...
533
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,400
...than it does each poor child.
534
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,500
We have no AARP to lobby for us.
535
00:31:21,700 --> 00:31:23,600
We have no voice at all.
536
00:31:24,100 --> 00:31:26,500
So are you...?
537
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,300
Did we convince you?
538
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,600
Well, I'd go for lowering
the age in increments...
539
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:36,100
...and I wouldn't start
at the federal level.
540
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,200
But you'll mention it to the president?
541
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:40,100
I'll do better than that.
542
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,100
- Where are we hiding?
- Republican at 12 o'clock.
543
00:31:45,100 --> 00:31:49,000
- But it's crucial to the president.
- And I am in a crucial primary. Sir.
544
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,900
- Gentlemen.
- I'm sorry, buddy...
545
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,200
...but I got a plane to catch.
546
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,400
We clear?
547
00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:08,500
- Hey, Donna.
- Congressman.
548
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,100
You wanna take this in?
549
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,100
- What about popcorn? Smell too risky?
- I'd wait another hour.
550
00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:27,300
You made it.
551
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:29,500
Greg.
552
00:32:29,700 --> 00:32:32,300
Didn't you get the message
about provisions?
553
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,900
It's 75 degrees here.
I may never go back to D.C.
554
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,800
- It was a dirty trick.
- Worked like a charm, though.
555
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:41,400
The speaker crossed a line.
556
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,400
You should've seen stuff we
pulled when we were the majority.
557
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,700
Why I hated coed dorms.
558
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,500
Once again, we let
the Republicans set the terms.
559
00:32:50,700 --> 00:32:53,400
This is therapeutic research,
not reproductive cloning.
560
00:32:54,700 --> 00:32:56,600
Congressman, no more souls to ferry?
561
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,100
All in for now.
562
00:32:58,300 --> 00:33:01,400
Pull up a chair. We're preaching
to the choir here on stem cells.
563
00:33:01,700 --> 00:33:03,000
I may sing another tune.
564
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,600
- No, take it easy. He's on our team.
- Burns me up the speaker...
565
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,800
- ...didn't have a fair vote.
- Even if you're leaning his way.
566
00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:11,800
Should I turn in my decoder ring?
567
00:33:12,100 --> 00:33:16,000
Haffley closed the floor to debate,
but we're not playing by his rules.
568
00:33:16,700 --> 00:33:18,400
What are your reservations?
569
00:33:18,700 --> 00:33:20,900
I have morality questions.
570
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,500
Ask them.
571
00:33:23,700 --> 00:33:25,400
We have all night.
572
00:33:30,700 --> 00:33:32,300
Thank you.
573
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:38,400
- Half-day?
- Those Nobel laureates can party.
574
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,900
- Did Josh fill you in on what's afoot?
- Operation Sleepover?
575
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:45,500
It's a cool move if it works.
I can't figure how you get Haffley...
576
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:49,000
- ...to call the vote. He can put it off.
- This is where squash come in.
577
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:52,600
- The sport or the vegetable?
- I punish the speaker every Thursday.
578
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:54,800
- Tomorrow.
- In five hours, to be exact.
579
00:33:55,100 --> 00:33:57,100
You're gonna talk him
into scheduling a vote?
580
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,700
And shut him out with
my forehand at the same time.
581
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,600
Here's how it'll go. I say,
"Oh, nice nick. " Squash talk.
582
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,200
"And nice maneuver on the floor,
pulling the vote. "
583
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,500
He says, "Thanks. Let, please. "
I've played a little squash.
584
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,000
"Everything's a game, even research
that could save millions of lives. "
585
00:34:12,300 --> 00:34:15,500
- "Stem cell's not a game. "
- "Looks like that to the president. "
586
00:34:15,900 --> 00:34:19,000
"This research could lead to trafficking
in human embryos. "
587
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:23,000
"If this were a trip to moral high ground,
not an inside-the-Beltway bitch slap...
588
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,700
...you'd schedule the vote
now that you can win...
589
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,400
...protecting clustered cells in petri
dishes everywhere. Why let it slide?
590
00:34:29,700 --> 00:34:33,400
Maybe the Republican Party has a stronger
interest in keeping its base agitated...
591
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,400
...than it does in protecting
the sanctity of human life. "
592
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,300
Might work. You're gonna have
to let him win a game, though.
593
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,500
Yes, they're in labs,
but they're still embryos.
594
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,200
What they are... Have you seen them?
They're frozen, fertilized eggs.
595
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,000
Call them eggs.
Call them genetic material.
596
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,900
- They're potential human life.
- Potential, that's the key.
597
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,700
These embryos may contribute
to life...
598
00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:05,200
...but they could never become a person
or a fetus without a mother's womb.
599
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000
- That's a fine line.
- The mystery of life.
600
00:35:10,300 --> 00:35:12,900
It's all fine lines and tough odds...
601
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:16,800
...as anyone who's ever been through
in vitro fertilization knows.
602
00:35:18,100 --> 00:35:20,000
Do you object to that too?
603
00:35:20,300 --> 00:35:22,100
In vitro? No.
604
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:25,000
That's science helping folks conceive.
605
00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:28,300
Well, these cells are what's left
over when that work is done.
606
00:35:28,700 --> 00:35:31,900
But the science is the same
as the science of cloning.
607
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:35,200
That's why funding would
be limited to discarded cells.
608
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,700
If not used in research,
these cells would be thrown away...
609
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,400
...and there would be
no outcry from Congress.
610
00:35:42,300 --> 00:35:44,100
And, you know, if it's a moral call...
611
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,400
...and I agree, it is...
612
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,100
...what about the morality...
613
00:35:49,700 --> 00:35:52,900
...of dragging our heels
when we could be alleviating suffering?
614
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,100
- Is this true?
- We have Officer Horn...
615
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,300
- ...at the site confirming it.
- An American helicopter entered...
616
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,600
...Canadian airspace
and emergency-landed...
617
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:14,500
...half a click from the standoff?
618
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:17,600
- Yes, ma 'am.
- This was a UH-1 H helicopter?
619
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:19,200
- Yes, ma 'am.
- A Huey?
620
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,600
They make civilian aircraft.
We have deniability.
621
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Not deniability.
I want absolute assurance...
622
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,600
- ...this was not part of a military action.
- I can't vouch for Black Ops.
623
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,700
Enough. This is stopping now. The
problem is not a few rowdy outlaws...
624
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:34,500
...blowing off testosterone.
The problem is us.
625
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,700
We're the Wild Bunch.
The higher we go, the hotter the risk.
626
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,300
I just threatened
the Canadian ambassador.
627
00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:42,800
Someone on the ground has got...
628
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,100
- Okay, officer, are you still there?
- I am.
629
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,600
Who is the ranking Canadian
officer at the scene?
630
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:51,600
- The Grasslands EcoRegion director.
- Does he have access to a bullhorn?
631
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,900
- It could be arranged.
- Okay. What if...?
632
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,700
It's just past midnight, Mountain time.
Announce the end of hunting season.
633
00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:00,100
- Not till next week.
- It just ended at midnight.
634
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,900
Anyone discharging a firearm is subject
to immediate, permanent loss...
635
00:37:04,300 --> 00:37:06,600
- ...of their hunting license.
- That could work.
636
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:09,900
- They don't fool around with hunting.
- Give it a shot.
637
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,100
The man's a gnat. A buzzing mosquito.
638
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:19,200
No, he's a pit bull. Locks his jaws
and won't let go.
639
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,700
- Yeah.
- His doomsday predictions.
640
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,300
- Not that that stuff keeps me awake.
- No.
641
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,000
What keeps you awake is the deficit.
642
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:35,000
First term, we made so much progress
we were talking balanced budget.
643
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:37,700
Economy slowed.
644
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,700
Costs spiraled. Security at home...
645
00:37:41,100 --> 00:37:42,600
...terrorism...
646
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,400
...peacekeeping abroad, Republican
tax cuts. I couldn't control it.
647
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:50,300
- And I'm an economist, for God's sakes.
- And a smart one.
648
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:54,500
You gotta ask, what's the next guy,
a mere mortal, gonna do?
649
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,900
It's like Eisenhower.
650
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,700
- In what way?
- Even though he'd been a general...
651
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,400
...when he was president,
he couldn't do anything...
652
00:38:03,700 --> 00:38:07,400
...to control the military industrial,
you know....
653
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:17,800
He did one thing.
654
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:27,200
Haffley just called the first procedural
bill of the day, approving the journal.
655
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,000
Testing to see if there's
anyone here to flush out.
656
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:34,400
He announced today is gonna be
about pharmaceutical drug trials.
657
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,000
- Oh, no.
- Stem cell isn't on the agenda.
658
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:38,600
No.
659
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,700
This is a nationally televised
presidential press conference.
660
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,800
- You don't speak unless you're called on.
- Yes, sir.
661
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,800
- President's on his way.
- Anything from the Hill?
662
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,300
- Not so far.
- You think that would be appropriate?
663
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,400
I don't think that would be a problem.
664
00:38:56,700 --> 00:38:58,100
- Good morning.
- Morning, sir.
665
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,700
- You ready to shake things up, Toby?
- Yes, sir. If you're in the mood...
666
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:04,700
...there's a young man in the back
you might wanna call on.
667
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,700
The president of the United States.
668
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,300
Good morning.
669
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,000
I love you all, but two days without
fresh clothes, I may switch parties.
670
00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:14,100
Whose toothpaste was this?
671
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,400
- What did I miss?
- We're reconsidering our strategy.
672
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:20,700
Let's give it another hour, guys.
673
00:39:21,300 --> 00:39:23,400
- Haffley just called the vote.
- For stem cell?
674
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,900
Just now. Well, 20 seconds ago.
675
00:39:26,700 --> 00:39:28,300
- Got your voting card?
- Right here.
676
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,800
Go on out there and vote.
677
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:34,100
- Mr. President.
- Chris.
678
00:39:34,700 --> 00:39:37,600
Mr. President, as you head
into your final year in office...
679
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:39,300
...do you have any regrets?
680
00:39:39,700 --> 00:39:43,200
One big regret, and here's
your lead, people...
681
00:39:43,900 --> 00:39:46,600
...is my failure to bring the budget
deficit under control.
682
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:49,200
I know an election cycle
is warming up...
683
00:39:49,500 --> 00:39:51,800
...and no one wants to hear
about budget deficits...
684
00:39:52,100 --> 00:39:54,800
...but both sides are gonna
hear about them from me.
685
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,600
That's my campaign promise.
686
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,500
- I wasn't sure you'd schedule it.
- Thanks for your vote, congressman.
687
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:12,900
- One more vote arriving.
- Thanks for coming in.
688
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,500
Angela, thanks for coming in.
We got this one sewed up.
689
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:26,900
I thought maybe you'd join us
on this one.
690
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:31,300
- Administration bend your ear?
- I made up my own mind, Mr. Speaker.
691
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:40,900
I had such high hopes for you.
692
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:45,400
Sometimes when you get them
when they're still wet behind the ears...
693
00:40:53,900 --> 00:40:56,400
Mr. Speaker.
694
00:41:07,700 --> 00:41:09,600
Good match today.
695
00:41:14,300 --> 00:41:16,500
- Mr. President!
- What do you plan to do?
696
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,500
The young man.
I don't know your name.
697
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,600
- Cody Zucker, Mr. President.
- Cody.
698
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,400
Do you think the budget deficit is
especially unfair to younger Americans?
699
00:41:26,900 --> 00:41:30,500
Absolutely. We're passing on
a crushing debt to our children.
700
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:34,000
That's not something a responsible
parent would choose to do.
701
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,400
- Yeah, David.
- A follow-up, sir.
702
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,700
Do you think we'd have such a large
deficit if children were allowed to vote?
703
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,400
Well, as adults, we're certainly not
shouldering our responsibility...
704
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:46,900
...and your generation
has a vested interest.
705
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:53,300
Allowing children to vote is worthy
of consideration. Thank you, Cody.
706
00:41:54,300 --> 00:41:55,600
Yeah, David.
707
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,500
Mr. President, what plans do you
have to reign in the budget deficit....
708
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,000
Well done, Commander Harper.
709
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,500
- Cooler heads prevailed.
- All Americans home safe?
710
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,500
Peace in our time.
711
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:14,700
The surprise arrival was lead
by presidential hopeful...
712
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,700
...Congressman Matt Santos.
713
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,300
It was a stunt, no doubt about it.
714
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:21,000
Good work.
715
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,800
Group effort. Santos was the brains.
716
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,900
Two hundred and sixteen congressmen
and women did the voting.
717
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:30,800
- And on the squash court?
- Best of five. All by myself.
718
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,900
Were you satisfied with the outcome?
719
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,600
Sometimes the American people wonder
what it is we do here in Congress.
720
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,100
Sometimes I wonder myself.
Today wasn't one of those days.
721
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,000
- Congressman.
- Yes.63320
