1
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,000
I don't know if I've served you...
3
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:10,200
...very well over the past few days.
4
00:00:10,500 --> 00:00:12,800
I won't be a punching bag
for Hoynes and Santos...
5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,500
...and every welterweight
who wants a quick tabloid hit.
6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,500
Public opinion's turning.
You're gonna see it at your events.
7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,000
You get into this
thinking to yourself...
8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,500
...that you're gonna play
by your own rules, and then...
9
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,700
...bit by bit,
you chip away at them...
10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,500
...until you can't even name the game.
11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,300
Russell and Hoynes made
a huge media buyout of Boston.
12
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,700
Close to 1800 gross ratings points.
13
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:37,700
We need to change the dynamic,
or we're finished.
14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,400
It's pretty good over here.
15
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,200
- Hey, Josh!
- On the record, listen...
16
00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:14,500
...the poll that matters
is on Super Tuesday.
17
00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:17,200
Off the record, no way is Hoynes
up nine in California.
18
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:19,500
- It's an internal poll.
- Of his living room?
19
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,300
- His polling says...
- That you can rig these things.
20
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,900
It's four days
till the California primary.
21
00:01:25,100 --> 00:01:27,200
- This is open.
- Russell's internals show him...
22
00:01:27,500 --> 00:01:29,500
- ...up in New York.
- He's campaigned there...
23
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,400
...what, 157 times?
The guy has a hack license by now.
24
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,500
Are you banking on Latinos,
like in Arizona and New Mexico?
25
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:38,000
- And your internals?
- We're not releasing those.
26
00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:41,700
- I'm through talking about polls.
- Because you're third in every one?
27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,600
We're here to talk about issues.
28
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,600
It's a presidential campaign.
It's not a statistics convention.
29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,100
But we got Hoynes up
by a lot less than nine.
30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,000
You didn't get that from me.
31
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:00,800
Been two days since the press
asked a policy question.
32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,700
I think that was about
the no-smoking policy on the plane.
33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Do you know this bill
in the California legislature...
34
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,400
...to bar illegal immigrants
from getting driver's licenses?
35
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,200
We're staying far away from it.
36
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,200
They passed it. It's on its
way to the governor's desk.
37
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:17,400
- The congressman will wanna denounce it.
- Of course.
38
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:20,000
Third in the polls, why not
champion the one group...
39
00:02:20,300 --> 00:02:23,200
- ...of Californians that can't vote?
- You'll talk to him?
40
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:25,300
Yeah.
41
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:30,800
I really liked those little bacon things
they had at the fundraiser in Ohio.
42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,100
Yeah, me too. Except the fact
that it was Oregon.
43
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,500
Oregon, Ohio. It's a plane to a minivan
to a windowless hotel ballroom.
44
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,600
- You're lucky I knew it was an "O" state.
- That really ought to be partial credit.
45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,800
At this point, all I do is read...
46
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:51,900
...the talking points they put
in front of me, you know.
47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,000
Miss Santos, pleasure
to see you again, it says here.
48
00:02:58,300 --> 00:03:04,200
I had such a great time during our
last conjugal visit that... Page two.
49
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,900
My staff suggested I follow up
and seek additional...
50
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Tell them that I maxed
out in Oregon.
51
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:11,800
We'll be starting our descent
into Sacramento's Franklin...
52
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:13,700
...in just a few minutes.
53
00:03:13,900 --> 00:03:15,300
Excuse me.
54
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,100
The California legislature
just passed that bill...
55
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:23,100
...to stop illegal immigrants
from getting driver's licenses.
56
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,800
- Four days before the primary.
- Because Republicans in the legislature...
57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,900
...know it'll divide us.
You got the Latino vote on one hand...
58
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:32,200
...one third of primary voters here...
59
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,400
...and the notion of rewarding
illegal behavior on the other.
60
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:38,000
- Okay.
- The governor's gonna be accused of...
61
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,300
...screwing his own party.
We can only lose.
62
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,300
- I know you're gonna wanna speak...
- I don't wanna speak out.
63
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,300
- You don't?
- No.
64
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:50,200
- Fasten your seat belts...
- Okay.
65
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:53,100
...and prepare for landing.
We should be on the ground...
66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,300
Just remind me
when we get to the hotel...
67
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:57,600
...I wanna talk
about our new internal poll.
68
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,400
You know Bram.
He's heading up California advance.
69
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,100
- He was on Missouri-New Mexico.
- Montana-Arizona.
70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,000
- Right. The one with big hats.
- Do a quick change.
71
00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:14,500
We have meet-and-greets, a quick
clutch followed by a receiving line.
72
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:17,100
- The difference?
- You met Backus at the Giants game.
73
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,600
Daughter's at Loyola.
Congratulate him on his...
74
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,000
- ...wife's thyroid operation.
- It was successful?
75
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,900
Don't mention the thyroid operation.
76
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,800
Ed Garcia's in your room.
Then we'll do the health-care hit.
77
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:28,700
- Eddie's here?
- Couple of details...
78
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,800
- ...about La Palabra's endorsement.
- They're huge with Latinos.
79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,400
- Gonna be a great hit.
- Are we gonna bump somebody off?
80
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,300
- Hey.
- Hello, Eddie.
81
00:04:39,500 --> 00:04:41,600
- How are you?
- How's my campaign widow?
82
00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:45,000
Oh, just, you know, knitting
absentee ballots for Super Tuesday.
83
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:48,100
It's good to see a friendly face.
Everywhere I go now...
84
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,900
...it's TV cameras and coded produce.
That's the way the press pass...
85
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:55,300
...messages us on the plane.
They roll oranges.
86
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:58,100
The news isn't any better,
but you get your vitamin C.
87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,600
- How long are you in California?
- Two days.
88
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,800
Redeye into Rhode Island
right after La Palabra's endorsement.
89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,900
- We're excited about that.
- We really appreciate that. Hon?
90
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:10,000
- This one. Good.
- Thanks.
91
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,700
Matt, we're concerned about this
driver's license bill.
92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,300
It could be the beginning of a new
wave of anti-immigrant legislation.
93
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,300
We need you to denounce it
in your speech to La Palabra.
94
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,500
I don't think I could do that, Eddie.
It would define my whole campaign.
95
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,400
I don't want voters to see me
as just the brown candidate.
96
00:05:27,700 --> 00:05:29,900
I hope some of them
have black-and-white TVs.
97
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,400
The governor wants to veto this,
but he's scared.
98
00:05:32,700 --> 00:05:36,300
Doesn't wanna be accused of torpedoing
the Democrats' chances. He needs cover.
99
00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,400
- The governor's endorsed Hoynes.
- This is a moral issue.
100
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,000
Telling immigrants they can't drive,
make a living?
101
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,300
Nothing I say tomorrow will
make a difference. We need to focus...
102
00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:47,600
...on electing a progressive candidate.
103
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,100
Then we can take on
all the tough causes.
104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,300
Now all we need is
a progressive candidate.
105
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,700
Maybe you don't see
more friendly faces...
106
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,100
...because your friends
have trouble recognizing you.
107
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:11,400
I can't do it.
108
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,800
So you've said.
109
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600
How we doing?
110
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:23,600
You sat with Backus at the Giants game.
Daughter's getting honors at Loyola.
111
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,300
You're with the herbal medicine
lobby in five minutes.
112
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:17,100
I was doing a home health-care hit.
113
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,100
- This is the pre-hit.
- Herbal medicine?
114
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,000
They're upset that our health-care plan
doesn't cover acoustic guitar playing.
115
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,300
We said we'd do a meeting
before the speech.
116
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,200
- Here he comes.
- Congressman!
117
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:30,200
The latest Field polls say
if the election were held today...
118
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600
People would be surprised because
it's normally held on Election Day.
119
00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:37,400
Are you urging the governor to side
with Hispanics on the license issue?
120
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:41,300
- I won't tell him how to run his state.
- Does it worry you Vinick's sweeping...
121
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:44,000
...the Republican primaries
while you're still slugging?
122
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,700
They can have their coronation.
123
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,800
The competition makes us tougher
for the fall. And if you believe that....
124
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,900
Would you make sure
that Helen's got her speech folder?
125
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,400
We've got a few meet-and-greets
in the hall.
126
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:58,000
- I wanna talk about this internal poll.
- Sue Bowan.
127
00:07:58,300 --> 00:08:01,100
- We sat with you at the NRDC gala.
- Good to see you again.
128
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,300
Why don't you talk
about global warming?
129
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,200
I gave two speeches on it last week.
130
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,900
- I never hear you talk about it.
- Ma'am, this way.
131
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,500
- There you go. Hi.
- People tell me I look exactly like you.
132
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,100
- Like looking in a mirror.
- Good luck, congressman.
133
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,400
I think this internal's really promising.
134
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:18,800
- Good luck.
- We're third in a three-way race.
135
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:20,900
- How's that promising?
- The issues, Josh.
136
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,400
We're beating Russell and Hoynes
on health care, on education.
137
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:27,400
No one's covering the issues.
All the press cares about...
138
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,200
...is polls, process, horserace.
139
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,600
Then we gotta get disciplined
about staying on our message, don't we?
140
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,200
- You remember the Ratners.
- Yes. Hi.
141
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:38,800
Excuse me.
142
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:42,100
- You wanna meet the congressman?
- No, I wanna meet you.
143
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400
- I'm your new finance director.
- You're Hickman.
144
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,200
- The human cash register.
- Call me Paul.
145
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:50,400
I should call you a cab.
Why are you here?
146
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:53,000
You should be at a phone bank,
phone-banking.
147
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:57,300
- I wanted to deliver the news in person.
- Your job's to give me money, not news.
148
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,000
And since we have no money,
I thought I'd opt for news.
149
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,200
By no money, you mean...?
150
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,200
So you're going with
the literal meaning.
151
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,900
The Super Tuesday polls
really spooked our big donors.
152
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,000
We're raising on the Internet,
but once we pay the vendors...
153
00:09:14,300 --> 00:09:16,800
...our cash on hand will
look more like an empty palm.
154
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,100
Give me a couple hours
to figure out a plan.
155
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,300
We'll brief the congressman tonight.
156
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,200
- Mr. Vice President.
- John.
157
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,000
If you wanna drop the formalities.
158
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,600
- I've no intention of dropping them.
- Well, enjoy them while you can.
159
00:09:44,900 --> 00:09:48,900
The most exquisitely tailored
straightjacket known to man.
160
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:52,100
We're pleased to welcome
Vice President Bob Russell...
161
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,000
...and former Vice President
John Hoynes.
162
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,700
Guy just got endorsed
by the governor of California.
163
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,500
He looks like he's been drinking out
of the reservoir.
164
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,900
I need that education statement
with CBO numbers...
165
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,200
...not OMB. CBO. Believe it or not,
they aren't interchangeable.
166
00:10:08,700 --> 00:10:11,500
Tell the speechwriters to stop putting
acknowledgements...
167
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:14,900
...at the top of speeches. The VP sounds
like he's taking attendance.
168
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,700
- Got a minute?
- No to California.
169
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,300
- Tomorrow?
- At all.
170
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,400
I'm not sure you've heard,
there's a primary there on Tuesday.
171
00:10:21,700 --> 00:10:24,600
Hoynes has the governor
and the state party behind him.
172
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,100
He's spending the weekend there.
We focus on New York and Ohio...
173
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,200
- ...places we can win.
- Not the best time to talk about my job?
174
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,700
Don't go south on me,
at least make it southeast.
175
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,100
No, I love what I'm doing,
master of all tasks.
176
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,000
- Mistress, really.
- Fine. I wonder...
177
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,500
...if I'm more useful
doing something specific.
178
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,600
Maybe my own issue area.
I've learned these issues sideways.
179
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:45,700
- Read this out loud.
- If it's too soon...
180
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,800
Read it out loud.
181
00:10:48,100 --> 00:10:50,200
"Hoynes' plan has wrong priorities
for America.
182
00:10:50,500 --> 00:10:53,400
Tripling funds for character education
while leaving science... "
183
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,400
Could I have the pool over here?
Donna Moss has a statement.
184
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:00,800
Hi.
185
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,100
Congressman, why are you trailing John
Hoynes among suburban women?
186
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,800
Maybe I don't go around sermonizing
about values...
187
00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,800
- Pivot to home base.
- I was about to. I gotta answer first.
188
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,700
Just pivot. "When they
learn about my health-care plan...
189
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,500
...which moves us step-by-step
to universal coverage...
190
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600
...starting with all children,
that gap will close. "
191
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Just talked to Garcia about the rollout
of the La Palabra endorsement.
192
00:11:22,900 --> 00:11:25,500
You realize it's redundant
to say "the" and "la. "
193
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,700
Well, la endorsement is off.
194
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,900
Garcia says la congressman
knows why.
195
00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:37,500
Garcia says La Palabra's off?
196
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:42,000
He wants me to denounce
the driver's license bill. I wouldn't do it.
197
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,400
It's one of the biggest Latino groups.
This guy is your ticket to...
198
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,700
You gotta call him,
straighten this out.
199
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:52,400
- You want me out against the bill?
- Wanna come in 5th in a three-way race?
200
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,100
He's upset, but he won't stiff
the first Latino to run for president.
201
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,900
- I'll go see him in the morning.
- Don't promise anything on the bill.
202
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,600
I'm saying we trailed almost every
country in every area tested last year.
203
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,300
Geometry, computation.
204
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:08,100
Will that argument blunt Hoynes' surge
in California?
205
00:12:08,300 --> 00:12:10,600
This isn't about blunting,
it's about curing polio.
206
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,500
- We cured polio.
- And let's not be complacent about it.
207
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,200
No one wants to ask
about science education?
208
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,600
- I do.
- You're Bill Brewer.
209
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,300
- I am.
- No questions from Hoynes' advisors.
210
00:12:22,700 --> 00:12:24,800
Too bad. I was gonna ask
how Bob Russell can...
211
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,100
...turn up his nose
at character education...
212
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,100
...with parents trying
to pass on values to their kids.
213
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,300
We're focusing on things
like AP physics.
214
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,100
See, this is why Russell
can't beat Vinick in the fall.
215
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,600
He has no appreciation
of middle-class values.
216
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:41,000
You rupture an appendix, do you want
a model citizen or a surgeon?
217
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,200
I never said I had
a single-issue appendix.
218
00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:47,000
Thanks, guys.
219
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,200
Honestly, your education plan
is closer to my tastes.
220
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,000
- Really.
- Hoynes is on a values kick lately.
221
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800
Who wants the government
legislating their kids' values?
222
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:02,600
Whatever happened to my right
to raise spoiled, selfish little jerks?
223
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,000
So I take it you're single.
224
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,400
- I don't answer hypothetical questions.
- Have a drink with me tonight.
225
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:10,600
We'll get into specifics.
226
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,400
No.
227
00:13:12,700 --> 00:13:15,200
You work for Hoynes.
It'd be sleeping with the enemy.
228
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:18,900
Not that we'd actually sleep together.
I just... You know what I mean.
229
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:23,000
- So you're the new spokesperson.
- I think this was kind of a tryout.
230
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:25,500
Nice try.
231
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:32,500
Governor Tillman was elected
with 71 percent of the Latino vote.
232
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000
- Popular guy.
-67% of Californians think it's wrong...
233
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:39,300
...to grant driver's licenses
to people who are here illegally.
234
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:43,400
- Well, nobody told them there'd be math.
- Thank you.
235
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,300
- Can I take five minutes?
- Yeah, sure.
236
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,900
I don't think you've met
our new finance director.
237
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,500
Phil. Great to meet you.
238
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:54,000
- It's Paul.
- Call him Hickman.
239
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,800
I'd much rather be called Paul.
240
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,400
Shouldn't he be dialing for dollars
at headquarters?
241
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:01,600
I'll let him explain why he's here.
242
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,400
Congressman.
243
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,300
- Mrs. Santos.
- Thank you.
244
00:14:07,700 --> 00:14:11,400
As much as the press care
about polls and the horserace...
245
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,400
...donors care about it more.
246
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:18,100
Now, winning New Mexico and Arizona
helped, but in the last few weeks...
247
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,900
...as Hoynes and Russell established
leads in the Super Tuesday states...
248
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,800
...our fundraising has dried up.
249
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,600
If you look at the second page,
we've made our media buy...
250
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,500
...but we haven't made outlays
for direct mail...
251
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:34,600
...or payroll or field. And that 800K...
252
00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:37,200
...that pretty much zeroes out
our cash on hand.
253
00:14:37,500 --> 00:14:40,600
- What about our Internet program?
- That's mostly 10- and $20 checks.
254
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:42,700
College campuses,
local democratic clubs.
255
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
- Low-dollar activity.
- What's the punch line?
256
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:49,500
If we don't do something to beat
expectations on Tuesday...
257
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:52,200
...I don't see how we can continue
the campaign.
258
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,700
Russell announced
he's not campaigning here.
259
00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:00,900
Cancel the Rhode Island-New York
swing...
260
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,500
...focus all our resources here
in California.
261
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,600
We can't overtake Hoynes,
but maybe we can squeak by Russell...
262
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,700
...come in second.
263
00:15:10,500 --> 00:15:12,100
Let's do it.
264
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Great.
265
00:15:15,700 --> 00:15:18,300
If we come in second, you can
raise enough to keep going?
266
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,000
- Most likely.
- And if we don't?
267
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:23,400
- Burn that bridge when we get to it.
- The Texas primary's in two weeks.
268
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,500
Hickman,
what are my backup options?
269
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,200
Well, none.
270
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,700
Even a bare-bones campaign in Texas
would cost 300, 400 grand.
271
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,500
- Can we borrow?
- That's illegal.
272
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,200
Election law prohibits borrowing.
273
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,100
- Except from the candidate.
- Technically, that's right.
274
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600
So technically we can
mortgage our house...
275
00:15:41,900 --> 00:15:45,100
- ...loan the money to the campaign.
- Josh is right. Let's burn that...
276
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,900
And plan our Texas campaign
on the back of a napkin?
277
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,000
Congressman, if you took on
that level of personal debt...
278
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,100
...you'd be paying it off for years.
279
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,200
- The only way you can do that is by...
- By what?
280
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,400
By going back to Congress.
281
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:02,600
Because no one writes checks
to retired politicians.
282
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:06,400
Have the lawyers
draw up the mortgage papers.
283
00:16:08,100 --> 00:16:10,100
What, we don't want the papers
as backup?
284
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,400
If we come in second here,
it's moot, right?
285
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:15,400
- Probably.
- So let's come in second.
286
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,300
- Thank you, congressman.
- Thank you, sir.
287
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,200
Will?
288
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,100
Will?
289
00:16:40,300 --> 00:16:41,800
Will.
290
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:45,000
Will.
291
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,100
Hoynes wants to colonize Mars
with nonviolent drug offenders.
292
00:16:48,500 --> 00:16:50,400
Recidivism....
293
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,200
It's 3 a. m.
What are you pouring on my head?
294
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,400
I couldn't sleep. Hoynes' issues
director invited me for a drink.
295
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,800
- You pour it on my head.
- I said it was sleeping with the enemy...
296
00:17:03,100 --> 00:17:04,600
...which I didn't mean literally.
297
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,800
If you're asking
if you should have slept...
298
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200
...with the issues director,
do what you want.
299
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,300
Hoynes was supposed to fly
to California...
300
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,500
...for two policy speeches
in San Diego.
301
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,000
Why would his issues director
be in New York, inviting me for a drink?
302
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,100
The whole sleeping-with-the-enemy
thing?
303
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,900
What if Hoynes won't be in California? A
head-fake so we won't campaign there.
304
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,700
He could've left staff.
He could have a sore throat.
305
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,200
For Super Tuesday, you campaign
from a gurney if you have to.
306
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,900
- Hello.
- Hi, Susan, sorry to wake you.
307
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,800
No, I'm calling from a fishing trawler.
Yes, I know it's 3 in the morning.
308
00:17:50,100 --> 00:17:53,000
I need to know if there's been any
middle-of-the-night change...
309
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:55,800
...to Hoynes' schedule,
as silly as that sounds.
310
00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:57,500
He cancelled San Diego...
311
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:01,400
- Don't say anything.
- No? Of course. Thanks.
312
00:18:02,900 --> 00:18:04,800
Hoynes cancelled
his San Diego fundraiser.
313
00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,500
He's spending a few more hours in
New York. Apparently, it's a sore throat.
314
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,800
Wake up the staff.
If Hoynes isn't going to California...
315
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:14,700
...what the hell are we
doing in New York?
316
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:26,800
- Aren't you gonna say something?
- About what?
317
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:28,500
Tomorrow's weather forecast?
318
00:18:28,700 --> 00:18:31,700
Seasonably warm. They don't
even have seasons in California.
319
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,600
- It's just a backup.
- This is all about Texas, isn't it?
320
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:37,100
What, we don't even want a backup?
321
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:38,600
Don't do this to me.
322
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:41,700
Here I am,
trapped in a Tammy Wynette medley...
323
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,400
...like I'm supposed to quash your
ambitions, force you to rake leaves.
324
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,100
- Good. Great.
- Fine. Going back to Congress, Matt?
325
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,900
- It's a worst-case scenario.
- For who? Me? Your kids?
326
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,600
- For what's-his-name? Rickman?
- One two-year term...
327
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,200
...and we would retire all the debt.
328
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,400
- It's only if we don't come in second.
- Second place.
329
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:03,900
Like we're betting everything on Papa's
Moustache in the fourth, which we are.
330
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,800
Hey, it's your house too.
331
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,500
Tell me not to, and I won't.
332
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:29,700
One two-year term and then what?
You won't run for president again?
333
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,600
Tell me not to, and I won't.
334
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,400
Congressman, would you
sign my hernia truss?
335
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,300
- Oh, boy, I don't know...
- No, I manufacture them.
336
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,700
- The 4th biggest wholesaler in the state.
- Okay.
337
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,800
"Thanks for the support. "
338
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,300
Let's go, congressman,
reporters are waiting.
339
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,500
Come in.
340
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:09,100
- Mrs. Santos.
- Call me Helen.
341
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000
You make me sound like a grandmother,
or a shop teacher.
342
00:20:12,300 --> 00:20:14,800
He's doing TV interviews
if you're looking for him.
343
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:16,400
No, I'm looking for you.
344
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,600
- I wanna talk about...
- Don't sign those loan papers.
345
00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:24,300
There are bad tradeoffs
in this business, but...
346
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,500
Are there bad tradeoffs for the staff?
347
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,500
Those long hours must be dreadful,
and the fast food...
348
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,800
I feel terrible about that meeting.
349
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,200
What chance do we have
of coming in second, Josh?
350
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,300
We have a chance.
351
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,900
What chance?
352
00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:46,000
Pretty small one.
353
00:20:50,300 --> 00:20:52,500
Well, thanks for talking shop.
354
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,400
Where are the reporters?
355
00:20:59,700 --> 00:21:02,300
Satellite interviews.
You hear questions via earpiece.
356
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,800
- Fake window?
- Adds psychological lightness.
357
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:08,500
- Do they do home installations?
- We're starting with KSEE out of Fresno.
358
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,600
Thank you.
359
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,300
Hi, Lisa. Good to be with you.
360
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,600
There are important things
to focus on, like health care.
361
00:21:18,900 --> 00:21:21,700
I have a plan which moves us
towards universal coverage...
362
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:25,200
- ...step by step, starting with children.
- KGET, Bakersfield.
363
00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:28,800
When they see my health-care
plan which moves us step by step....
364
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:31,800
- KNTV, San Jose.
- That's a decision for the governor.
365
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,800
I'm focused on national issues,
like health care.
366
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:36,900
KSBW, Salinas.
367
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,700
Maybe I better do a better job educating
people about my health-care plan.
368
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:42,800
I'm sorry, I can't hear the question.
369
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,600
But I will say that one issue at stake
in this election is health care.
370
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:48,500
Health care.
371
00:21:53,300 --> 00:21:56,600
- Eddie, good to see you.
- Josh, come in.
372
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,500
I have to hand it to you. You've
taught Matt a lot about politics...
373
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,800
- ...in a few short months.
- It took a while to get our sea legs.
374
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,000
More like concrete shoes.
375
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,400
The Matt Santos I knew wouldn't
stay silent for three seconds...
376
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,800
- ...on an anti-immigrant assault like this.
- Bob Russell...
377
00:22:13,100 --> 00:22:16,100
...just came out in favor of the bill.
378
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,800
He's not even campaigning in California.
He could beat us on this alone.
379
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,400
How do you think voting rights
polled in the 1960s?
380
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:26,900
- Jim Crow in the 1870s?
- You know the arguments.
381
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,800
People use driver's licenses
to buy guns, board airplanes.
382
00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,900
Let's come up
with a better form of ID.
383
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,600
- The people are here illegally.
- If it's illegality...
384
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
...why don't we take
licenses from murderers?
385
00:22:37,300 --> 00:22:38,800
Manson probably still has his.
386
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:43,000
- Charlie's not tailgating on the 405.
- If we don't give these people licenses...
387
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:45,800
...you think they're gonna
go back to Mexico?
388
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,500
They'll drive without insurance.
We can't track them.
389
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,000
- It's not the substance of the bill.
- You know the bill is wrong.
390
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400
Because your old pal Matt Santos
is trying to win in California.
391
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:58,900
You want him on the losing side
of a lose-lose issue?
392
00:22:59,300 --> 00:23:02,300
My new pal John Hoynes
has the guts to take the right side.
393
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,700
- Hoynes?
- Promised he'd come out against it...
394
00:23:05,100 --> 00:23:07,400
...when he campaigns
with the governor tomorrow.
395
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,300
Santos is the first viable Latino
to even enter a presidential.
396
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,700
- We both know you're endorsing him.
- Not unless he takes a stand...
397
00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:20,600
...in his speech to La Palabra.
The governor needs cover to veto this.
398
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,300
If Hoynes provides it,
we'll endorse him.
399
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,700
Having a Latino president doesn't
advance the Latino cause?
400
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,400
If he doesn't stand up for Latinos?
401
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,900
You have taught him
how to live by the polls...
402
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,200
...but when you're off
on the next campaign...
403
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,600
...he's the one who's gotta live
with himself.
404
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,400
- Yeah.
- It's Josh.
405
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:43,900
I'm reading that new biography
of James Madison.
406
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,400
- Know what his dying words were?
- "I always talk better lying down. "
407
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:49,600
Rough time to learn that.
How's it going?
408
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,600
We're stuck in third place, so we're
moving all our money to California.
409
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:57,500
Our base thinks we've sold them out,
and Helen Santos thinks I'm playing...
410
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,900
...presidential primary Parcheesi
with her kids' college tuition.
411
00:24:01,100 --> 00:24:05,300
- So about the same as 10 minutes ago.
- The middle thing's new.
412
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:11,500
So Santos was reading our internals
on the plane last night.
413
00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:15,600
- "Politician Reads Polls," film at 11.
- He barely looked at them before.
414
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,600
You've been complaining
about that for months.
415
00:24:18,900 --> 00:24:21,300
I know, but the guy's
playing this to win.
416
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,900
Even when the numbers
make you wanna...
417
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,500
- ...lie down.
- It's your job to doubt.
418
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,500
It's his job to believe.
419
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,900
Just don't let him
do anything too loopy.
420
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,800
I'll call you later.
421
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,900
The site diagram
for the education event.
422
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,900
I'm assuming from these arrows,
I'm going for a touchdown.
423
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,000
We've got fixed
camera positions here.
424
00:24:40,300 --> 00:24:43,100
So if you stay here,
the kids are always in the cutaway shot.
425
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,000
- Good because...?
- Doesn't matter how the press report it.
426
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:47,700
They can trash the whole event.
427
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,300
If those kids are visible from
every position, it'll scream "education. "
428
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:55,800
- Sorry I'm late. Did you already...?
- We're screaming at camera positions.
429
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,300
- Thanks, Bram.
- Yeah.
430
00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,600
La Palabra wants to endorse Hoynes.
431
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,700
- Hoynes?
- He promised to denounce...
432
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:13,800
...the driver's license bill side by side
with the governor. Let's beat him to it.
433
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,300
If I denounce it,
it's a seven-second sound bite.
434
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,100
- "Latino comes out for Latinos. "
- Better than "Latino ignores Latinos. "
435
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,300
It would play into
the Republicans' hands.
436
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:27,100
You said it yourself. No one would hear
anything else I would have to say.
437
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,900
It's a bad bill.
You should be who you are.
438
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,500
I was wrong to push
the politics on this.
439
00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:35,200
I'm not taking a position.
440
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,200
Garcia's serious about going
with Hoynes.
441
00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:39,700
Maybe he should be.
And not for nothing, Josh.
442
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,700
Garcia can tell me if he thinks I'm
not Latino enough. You can't, okay?
443
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:57,200
- Who is it?
- Donna, from the Russell campaign.
444
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,000
You know, the "character
doesn't count" people?
445
00:26:01,300 --> 00:26:02,700
Can I interest you in a drink?
446
00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:05,200
They say Manhattan has
the champagne of tap waters.
447
00:26:05,500 --> 00:26:08,700
- I'm not decent.
- I could have told you that yesterday.
448
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,600
I'm busy cooking up ways to legislate
your spoiled kids into submission.
449
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,600
- I have to have the kids first.
- Is that a pickup line?
450
00:26:15,900 --> 00:26:17,300
It needs a lot of work.
451
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,700
- You're not packed for California.
- There's some kind of delay.
452
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,100
I'm not really sure what.
Hey, housekeeping's a phone call away.
453
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:28,700
They got the filet mignon
of maid service here.
454
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:34,200
He's just canceled his first policy
speech, and Brewer's not packed.
455
00:26:34,500 --> 00:26:36,700
Why would he be working on
a press statement if...?
456
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,100
Slow down.
I'll lend you some punctuation.
457
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,300
Hoynes is still here. I don't think he's
going to California at all. We should.
458
00:26:43,700 --> 00:26:46,400
We can't take this to the VP
unless we're 1000 percent sure.
459
00:26:46,700 --> 00:26:50,200
Get the press to call him on it. They're
buying this sore throat nonsense?
460
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:53,800
If we can't interest them in our
education plan, what about this?
461
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:55,800
- Created a monster.
- Bad idea?
462
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:57,800
No. Good idea.
463
00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:00,100
That's what worries me.
464
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:03,100
Allesandra?
465
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,100
Got a teensy little tip for the paper of
record. Don't you think it's strange...
466
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,300
...that Hoynes lays out this big California
strategy, then fails to show up for it?
467
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,300
Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Santos.
468
00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:19,400
Bye.
469
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,800
- Congressman. Congressman Santos.
- Mr. Santos.
470
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,200
Don't you think the governor
should sign the driver's license bill?
471
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:27,100
Won't that deny Vinick the issue?
472
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,300
Not enough kids read at grade level.
We need higher standards...
473
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,000
- ...accountability in schools.
- Pivoting like a pro.
474
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,500
Are you worried that you're
in third place in polls?
475
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:40,100
If our kids don't read at grade level, how
are they gonna understand these polls?
476
00:27:40,500 --> 00:27:43,400
Cutaway shot was perfect. Home run.
477
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,800
- They say it's his throat.
- You guys are journalists.
478
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,500
- Unless you've a throat swab...
- Go over this again.
479
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,400
Vice President Russell
was going to campaign in California.
480
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,700
Then the governor endorsed Hoynes,
Hoynes practically moved there.
481
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,100
Now that we canceled our trip,
Hoynes is holed up in New York...
482
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:02,600
...canceling his California events
left and right.
483
00:28:02,900 --> 00:28:05,600
- What's he up to?
- Do I look like an investigative reporter?
484
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,100
The answer is, "I do not. "
Why don't you go do your jobs?
485
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,100
Go.
486
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,900
Are we doing enough free media
in the Los Angeles schedule?
487
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:22,600
There's a story in New York. Hoynes
might not be coming to California.
488
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,200
- Not at all?
- That's the rumor.
489
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,800
His whole itinerary was a fake out
so that Russell wouldn't campaign here.
490
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,700
Hoynes puts California in the bank,
dukes it out with Russell back East.
491
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,900
- If he doesn't come...
- He takes no stand on the license bill...
492
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:37,700
...doesn't keep his promise to Garcia.
We've got about...
493
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,400
...five of our reporters working on it.
He may be trying to draw us out.
494
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:46,000
Latino comes out for Latinos and Hoynes
attacks us on immigration and terrorism.
495
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,800
- Maybe.
- So Matt's the only candidate...
496
00:28:49,100 --> 00:28:51,900
...who is here in California,
and yet he's in third place.
497
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,700
How many reporters did you say
we have on this story?
498
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,500
- Five?
- About.
499
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,400
- Let's try and make it 10.
- We're ready for takeoff.
500
00:29:02,700 --> 00:29:05,200
Hoynes has a cold.
He'll be flying to California.
501
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:06,700
Why not rest on the plane?
502
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:10,400
- His gambit's looking like a shell game.
- John Hoynes is not a gambling man.
503
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,100
You shake hands with every
vendor in Manhattan...
504
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,200
...see if you don't come home
with a great big germ cocktail.
505
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:18,500
I'd love to chat.
I've gotta sit in my room...
506
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,900
...and wait for your next
hectoring phone call.
507
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Find out what in Jane's name
we're still doing in New York City?
508
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,800
A full 13 and a half minutes.
Where you been?
509
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,600
Who cares if Russell's making hay
by saying illegals shouldn't get licenses?
510
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,500
Who cares if Hoynes
thrashes us on it?
511
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,200
Don't we score points
for opposing public opinion?
512
00:29:40,500 --> 00:29:42,500
He's not wrong.
He'll marginalize himself.
513
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,400
Latino backs Latinos, dog bites man,
Madison takes a nap.
514
00:29:45,700 --> 00:29:48,300
But now the guy's talking about
mortgaging his house...
515
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,400
...stirring up the press
about Hoynes...
516
00:29:50,700 --> 00:29:52,800
...muzzling himself on issues
he cares about.
517
00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:56,000
And for what,
the vain hope of a silver medal?
518
00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:59,200
I've seen this in tons of candidates.
519
00:29:59,900 --> 00:30:02,700
Ride's almost over.
They wanna hang on.
520
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,200
The crowds, the adrenaline.
You wait...
521
00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,100
- ... he'll even miss the bad headlines.
- You think it's almost over?
522
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,200
I think you've done a remarkable job.
523
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:16,000
I think you've taken a junior House
nobody and made him a national brand...
524
00:30:16,300 --> 00:30:18,300
...a contender
for the vice presidency, even.
525
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,700
- He still believes he can win.
- It's his job to believe.
526
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,800
If he keeps believing, it's because...
527
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:28,300
He got it from me. He believes it,
because I hammered it into him.
528
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,300
- Josh.
- I'll call you later.
529
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,300
- Have you seen CNN?
- There's 50 reporters in Hoynes' hotel.
530
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,400
- I sent half of them there.
- ... healthy lead here in the polls.
531
00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:40,600
Shouldn't Santos be doing
meet-and-greets?
532
00:30:40,900 --> 00:30:42,300
They're signing loan papers.
533
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,600
- Some are wondering if Hoynes...
- You gave him the papers?
534
00:30:45,900 --> 00:30:49,200
- ... has canceled his tour.
- Her. Helen. She asked for them.
535
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:57,000
I don't suppose in addition to your
many skills you're a notary public.
536
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,700
Don't sign those.
537
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,200
We won't send them to the bank
unless we have to.
538
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:04,100
Just wanna make sure...
539
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,400
- ...we're covered for Texas.
- It's your financial future.
540
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,400
Which is why we're
gonna come in second.
541
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,300
We can't.
542
00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:15,200
There's no chance.
543
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:16,900
- I'm sorry.
- We've got Hoynes...
544
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,500
- ...in New York.
- We won't win the nomination.
545
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,900
I made myself believe it.
546
00:31:22,300 --> 00:31:25,400
You too. But you can't
risk everything for this.
547
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,900
You should go to La Palabra...
548
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,900
...make a strong statement against
the driver's license bill. You should...
549
00:31:33,100 --> 00:31:36,300
...remember who your friends are,
not some names on an index card...
550
00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:40,700
...but the people you're going back to.
And then you should take a bow...
551
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,900
...and you should step off the stage.
552
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:00,500
You know, when I got out
of the Marines...
553
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,700
...I hadn't been in my neighborhood
in Houston in a few years.
554
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,600
I had just gotten this job offer
from the Pentagon...
555
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:09,500
...and it required a full
FBI background check.
556
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,000
After a few weeks,
the investigators came to me...
557
00:32:12,300 --> 00:32:14,300
...and said,
"We can't give you the job.
558
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:18,200
We've interviewed all your
old friends and neighbors.
559
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:21,500
They can't confirm anything,
not even your name. "
560
00:32:21,900 --> 00:32:24,500
So I hop a plane,
go back to the old block.
561
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400
I see my neighbor's
11- and 13-year-old kids.
562
00:32:27,700 --> 00:32:31,400
They're sitting on the stoop,
same as always.
563
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:33,800
They see me,
they start running towards me...
564
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,800
...and they're shouting, " Tio Matt! "
"Uncle Matt. "
565
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:41,600
" Tio Matt, the feds,
they were here looking for you.
566
00:32:42,100 --> 00:32:44,700
We told them we never heard of you. "
567
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:47,700
Eleven and 13.
568
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:54,200
You're not the only one
who can read bad polls, Josh.
569
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,300
I am running for president
in that Texas primary...
570
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,900
...and those kids
are gonna see me do that.
571
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,400
That's the only statement
about my skin color...
572
00:33:10,700 --> 00:33:13,000
...I intend to make in this campaign.
573
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,300
- If you need a minute...
- I'm fine.
574
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:20,100
You met Richter in Portland.
He's on DNC site selection.
575
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,300
- His son's a...
- Math major at Princeton.
576
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:37,500
When you asked our chances before...
577
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:42,200
...you wanted to make sure
the loan was ready if we lost here.
578
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:44,500
Something's happened to Hoynes.
579
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,200
- There he is!
- Mr. Hoynes! Mr. Hoynes!
580
00:33:56,100 --> 00:34:00,000
- Excuse me. I need him for one second.
- Yeah, I got five more supporters there.
581
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,900
...featuring an exclusive interview...
582
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,700
...with the former Senate staffer,
claiming that then Senator Hoynes...
583
00:34:06,100 --> 00:34:09,300
...made inappropriate
sexual advances toward her...
584
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,100
...which is bad news to the Hoynes
campaign so close to Super Tuesday.
585
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,500
...woman in question was still
a Georgetown senior at the time...
586
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,000
...the daughter of a prominent
Hoynes supporter.
587
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:23,100
The campaign spent the day in New York
urging the tabloid not to run the story...
588
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:26,100
...excerpts of which appeared
all over the Internet...
589
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,600
...believed such allegations
were all in the past.
590
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:33,100
- A spokesman for Hoynes says...
- We just went from third to second.
591
00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:36,200
...that he is temporarily suspending
his campaign.
592
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:42,300
Tell the spokespeople Hoynes is dead.
We're even with Russell.
593
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,000
- Is that true?
- It could be.
594
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:47,100
There's no way to poll
till the voting starts.
595
00:34:47,900 --> 00:34:49,600
Anything from the governor?
596
00:34:49,900 --> 00:34:52,100
He's not discussing
a new endorsement.
597
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,700
He can't stick with Hoynes.
It's a tabloid nightmare.
598
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,100
Tell him Santos
is a candidate for president.
599
00:34:57,300 --> 00:35:00,600
If that doesn't even warrant
a phone call.... Go, go, go.
600
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:03,400
Thank you. Good to see you.
601
00:35:04,300 --> 00:35:06,200
- Watch your hands.
- What's the schedule?
602
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:09,700
We've gotten 300 press requests,
all about Hoynes' overcharged libido.
603
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,400
- Ride the story?
- We're not riding nor spinning it.
604
00:35:12,700 --> 00:35:14,400
The press loves it, but voters don't.
605
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,600
Accept as many press requests
as possible.
606
00:35:16,900 --> 00:35:18,500
- Isn't that...?
- We have a message.
607
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,900
It's health care and education.
It's the only way he beats Russell.
608
00:35:22,300 --> 00:35:25,400
- Every question will be about Hoynes.
- But none of the answers.
609
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,700
- Donna! Donna!
- I had no idea about the Senate staffers.
610
00:35:29,900 --> 00:35:32,000
You've been pushing this.
You know something.
611
00:35:32,300 --> 00:35:35,200
He locks himself in a hotel room.
He could be shaving his legs.
612
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:37,500
How am I supposed to know
what he's doing?
613
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,800
We're gonna be in California
in a few hours.
614
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:44,900
Nothing we can do on driver's licenses.
We've come out in favor of the bill.
615
00:35:45,300 --> 00:35:47,700
Hoynes is an embarrassment.
Santos is a footnote.
616
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,400
Governor, the vice president
needs you on this.
617
00:35:50,700 --> 00:35:52,700
You wanted to see me, sir?
618
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:56,700
I'm sorry your name is in these stories.
You had no idea what this was about.
619
00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,100
- No.
- They're just filling column inches.
620
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,900
If I believed everything they wrote about
me, I'd be voting for Pat Paulsen again.
621
00:36:04,900 --> 00:36:07,400
That was a joke.
I never voted for Pat Paulsen.
622
00:36:07,700 --> 00:36:11,000
- Will's talking to California's governor.
- I wouldn't call him myself.
623
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,400
- The allegations are nobody's business.
- Yes, sir.
624
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:16,600
- You don't agree?
- For it to be none...
625
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
...of our business, he shouldn't
have talked about character education.
626
00:36:20,500 --> 00:36:22,200
Set a standard, you have to meet it.
627
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,700
The governor won't take
endorsement meetings.
628
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,600
He's yanking support from Hoynes,
and feeling burned by primary politics.
629
00:36:28,900 --> 00:36:31,600
We lead in California,
but Santos has been there three days.
630
00:36:31,900 --> 00:36:33,800
We won't be there
for another three hours.
631
00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:36,900
If the governor endorses him,
I don't know what'll happen.
632
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,300
You have to call the governor yourself.
Make sure he endorses you...
633
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,900
...or no one at all.
634
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,500
Get the governor on the line.
635
00:36:48,900 --> 00:36:50,600
How we doing?
636
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:52,700
We shut down all our field offices...
637
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,300
...squeezed money
to air more health-care spots.
638
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,400
Our surrogates are blanketing
every media outlet.
639
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:01,000
Unless your tongue's got repetitive
stress injuries...
640
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,300
- Keep scheduling interviews.
- He's never had so much coverage.
641
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,400
It's either the sex scandal
or my plan for premium reductions.
642
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:10,000
- The governor?
- He's not taking political meetings.
643
00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:12,400
Looks like he's not endorsing anyone.
644
00:37:12,700 --> 00:37:16,600
This guy could've single-handedly
delivered labor, the county organizations.
645
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:19,300
What if we told him we don't
want a political meeting?
646
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,300
What do we meet about,
citrus futures?
647
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,500
The party platform,
Australian parliament.
648
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,800
I'll walk his dog
for five minutes with him.
649
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,600
What about the driver's license bill?
650
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:37,300
- You know this meeting can't be public?
- All I need is a little leg room.
651
00:37:37,700 --> 00:37:39,700
I can't turn on a TV
without seeing you...
652
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:42,100
...spout the same three lines
about health care.
653
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,500
You ought to mix it up a bit.
654
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,700
Six and a half million Californians
don't have health insurance.
655
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,900
They'd rather hear
about Hoynes' boxers?
656
00:37:50,100 --> 00:37:53,200
Hoynes looked me in the eye
and told me all the womanizing had...
657
00:37:53,500 --> 00:37:55,700
- ...been flogged to death by the press.
- It had.
658
00:37:56,100 --> 00:37:59,900
Those staffers were paid for their story.
They were paid by a dime-store tabloid.
659
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,000
If we don't give the hordes
what they want, they find a way.
660
00:38:03,300 --> 00:38:06,600
Well, I look like an idiot. And I've
got hordes outside my office now.
661
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,800
I scheduled this meeting to talk
about the driver's license bill.
662
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:13,600
My understanding is that Hoynes
promised La Palabra that he'd oppose it.
663
00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:15,300
He made that promise to me.
664
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,600
The state Republicans timed this bill...
665
00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:21,100
...to wreak havoc
in the Democratic primaries.
666
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,700
I want a future in the party too.
667
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,500
You think I'd single-handedly blow our
chance to beat Vinick in the fall?
668
00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:30,500
What if I was there with you?
669
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,500
I told Russell I'm not
going to endorse anybody.
670
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,700
And you wouldn't say one word against
that bill till you needed my support.
671
00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:43,700
I'm not gonna say
a word against it now.
672
00:38:44,500 --> 00:38:46,800
- And I'm not looking for your support.
- You're not?
673
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:48,600
You veto the bill...
674
00:38:48,900 --> 00:38:51,000
...I'll be there standing
right behind you.
675
00:38:51,300 --> 00:38:53,300
All the words will be your own...
676
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,700
...in front of about 50 cameras,
all going live.
677
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,700
You'd be tagged with my veto
without a bite on the news.
678
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,500
- Right.
- Are you so desperate...
679
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,800
...for the appearance of my support
that you'd stand behind me...
680
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:07,300
...while I strike down a bill
that you don't oppose?
681
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,300
I think the bill is an abomination.
682
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,100
We need to toughen
our immigration laws...
683
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:15,600
...make our borders 50 times
more secure.
684
00:39:15,900 --> 00:39:17,900
But if we're not really willing
to do that...
685
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,400
...it's wrong to punish the people
we bring here to pick our avocados.
686
00:39:21,700 --> 00:39:23,900
But why don't you just come out
and say that?
687
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,900
Because people don't need to hear it
from someone who looks like me.
688
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,100
They need to hear it from someone
who looks like you.
689
00:39:34,900 --> 00:39:36,500
- Governor!
- Governor!
690
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,500
Moments ago, I vetoed SB-67,
the so-called "driver's license bill. "
691
00:39:44,900 --> 00:39:48,500
We have security problems in this
country. We have immigration problems.
692
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,700
We need to address them.
693
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,400
But we shouldn't prevent
the poorest working people...
694
00:39:53,700 --> 00:39:56,300
...the people who are here anyway,
from making a living.
695
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,600
It may make us feel better,
but it doesn't solve the problem.
696
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:05,200
Thank you.
Oh, I'd show you all the veto pen...
697
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,700
...but I've already given it
to Congressman Matt Santos.
698
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,800
- Governor!
- Governor!
699
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,300
- Hoynes. Any comment?
- Know what you should write about?
700
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,700
The 6.5 million Californians
who don't have health coverage.
701
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,900
You ought to ask Matt Santos
about that.
702
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,600
- Congressman!
- Congressman!
703
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,200
I agree with Governor Tillman
100 percent.
704
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,300
Thanks.
705
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,200
And don't forget to vote,
no matter who you vote for.
706
00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:35,800
Oh, what the hell? Vote for me.
707
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:38,200
- That's it, guys.
- Okay, we're good.
708
00:40:38,500 --> 00:40:41,700
- What's next?
- Besides the mother of all lozenges?
709
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,500
- He's done 100 interviews today.
- That is the last one.
710
00:40:44,700 --> 00:40:48,000
California polls are closing.
Russell's won New York, Connecticut...
711
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,100
...Rhode Island and Vermont.
Hoynes is crumbling everywhere.
712
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,000
We don't know about California yet.
713
00:40:55,900 --> 00:40:57,600
Thanks.
714
00:40:57,900 --> 00:41:02,900
- What's this?
- It's a campaign plan for Texas.
715
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,500
I'll sell my own house if I have to.
716
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,600
- You'd be going to federal prison.
- Yeah, well...
717
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,400
...need to live someplace, won't I?
718
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,600
I can tell you
that it's been a long day.
719
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:22,500
A tough, close fight here in a state that
usually don't see such primary action.
720
00:41:22,700 --> 00:41:25,400
- We got an exit poll.
- I've never seen numbers like this.
721
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:28,900
They need a margin of error
for the margin of error.
722
00:41:29,300 --> 00:41:32,200
We're moments away from calling
what has been a dogfight...
723
00:41:32,500 --> 00:41:36,000
...between Vice President Bob Russell
and Congressman Matthew Santos.
724
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:38,700
So we urge you to stay by the TV.
In just a moment...
725
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,100
- While Santos has maintained...
- I need you guys for one second.
726
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,000
...his solid support
in both the African-American...
727
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:48,600
...and Latino communities, Bob Russell
has actually picked up points...
728
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000
- We've received the latest exit polls.
- Will you give us a second?
729
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:55,000
On the strength of these numbers,
we'll call the race.
730
00:41:55,300 --> 00:41:57,100
- What is it?
- What?
731
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:00,300
- We have a winner of the California...
- We won California.
732
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,800
...and it is Congressman
Matthew Santos.
733
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,300
He's calling it.
734
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,200
We've got a few quick clutches
on our way to the ballroom.
735
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:14,800
Steve Gilbert, co-chair for L.A. Son's big
in the college Dems. Congratulations.
736
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,900
- This is unexpected. How do you...?
- Congressman Santos!
737
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,000
You're the experts on the horserace...
738
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:24,800
...but maybe folks took a look
at my health-care plan.
739
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,300
- What about the Hoynes situation?
- I can't comment.66138
