14
00:02:39,507 --> 00:02:41,374
A plane just struck
the Pentagon.
15
00:02:47,717 --> 00:02:49,918
Let's make sure
those phone lines are working.
16
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,218
Phones are go, sir.
17
00:02:51,220 --> 00:02:52,819
The SVTC.
Let's contact the FAA,
18
00:02:52,821 --> 00:02:54,087
find out how many planes are
in the air.
19
00:02:54,089 --> 00:02:55,255
Yes, sir.
20
00:02:55,257 --> 00:02:56,991
Let's get
these televisions working.
21
00:02:56,993 --> 00:02:58,825
May I get the president
on the line, please?
22
00:02:58,827 --> 00:03:00,760
We got planes in the air
and nowhere for them to land.
23
00:03:00,762 --> 00:03:02,362
I still have
one plane unaccounted for
24
00:03:02,364 --> 00:03:03,629
flying over Pennsylvania.
25
00:03:03,631 --> 00:03:04,765
I need permission
for them to land
26
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:06,700
at a Canadian airport.
27
00:03:06,702 --> 00:03:08,735
...very large
plane. It was going fast.
28
00:03:08,737 --> 00:03:10,170
Flying over
Pennsylvania on course.
29
00:03:10,172 --> 00:03:12,140
And three other planes
are unaccounted for.
30
00:03:12,142 --> 00:03:13,974
I'm seeing five planes
unaccounted for.
31
00:03:13,976 --> 00:03:15,543
No! Scratch that.
I'm seeing four!
32
00:03:18,013 --> 00:03:19,514
I have NORAD
on the line.
33
00:03:19,516 --> 00:03:21,785
That is correct.
He is. That is correct.
34
00:03:22,652 --> 00:03:25,721
Mr. Vice President,
POTUS on line one, sir.
35
00:03:29,558 --> 00:03:30,659
Mr. President.
36
00:03:33,828 --> 00:03:37,029
The situation
is, uh, extremely fluid.
37
00:03:37,031 --> 00:03:38,968
I strongly recommend
you stay in the air.
38
00:03:40,001 --> 00:03:44,104
I have, uh, sequestered
congressional leadership.
39
00:03:44,106 --> 00:03:45,806
Okay, then.
40
00:03:45,808 --> 00:03:46,907
Sir, Donald Rumsfeld is
41
00:03:46,909 --> 00:03:48,641
at the Pentagon on line three.
42
00:03:48,643 --> 00:03:51,211
- That?
- Mm-hmm. Yes, sir.
43
00:03:51,213 --> 00:03:53,681
Dick, are there
still passenger planes in the air?
44
00:03:53,683 --> 00:03:54,882
I need rules of engagement.
45
00:03:54,884 --> 00:03:56,720
Let's get the President
back on line, sir.
46
00:03:58,421 --> 00:04:01,755
You have authorization
to shoot down
47
00:04:01,757 --> 00:04:04,425
any aircraft deemed a threat.
48
00:04:04,427 --> 00:04:05,925
Presidential authority?
49
00:04:05,927 --> 00:04:08,462
That is correct.
All orders are UNODIR.
50
00:04:08,464 --> 00:04:10,563
"UNODIR," sir?
51
00:04:10,565 --> 00:04:12,768
Unless otherwise directed.
52
00:04:15,904 --> 00:04:18,772
By all accounts
of what people saw
53
00:04:18,774 --> 00:04:22,242
in that room
on that terrible day,
54
00:04:22,244 --> 00:04:23,914
there was confusion...
55
00:04:25,314 --> 00:04:26,249
fear...
56
00:04:27,649 --> 00:04:28,985
uncertainty.
57
00:04:31,421 --> 00:04:33,620
But Dick Cheney saw
something else
58
00:04:33,622 --> 00:04:34,957
that no one else did.
59
00:04:37,826 --> 00:04:39,662
He saw an opportunity.
60
00:04:43,865 --> 00:04:47,901
As the world becomes
more and more confusing,
61
00:04:47,903 --> 00:04:50,004
we tend to focus on the things
62
00:04:50,006 --> 00:04:52,708
that are right there
in front of us...
63
00:04:54,477 --> 00:04:57,011
while ignoring
the massive forces
64
00:04:57,013 --> 00:05:00,850
that actually change
and shape our lives.
65
00:05:01,951 --> 00:05:05,718
And with people working
longer and longer hours,
66
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,987
for less and less,
67
00:05:07,989 --> 00:05:09,689
when we do have free time,
68
00:05:09,691 --> 00:05:11,858
the last thing we want is
69
00:05:11,860 --> 00:05:14,461
complicated analysis
of our government,
70
00:05:14,463 --> 00:05:15,795
lobbying,
71
00:05:15,797 --> 00:05:18,298
international
trade agreements,
72
00:05:18,300 --> 00:05:19,466
and tax bills.
73
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,706
So it's no surprise
74
00:05:25,708 --> 00:05:28,076
that when a monotone,
75
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:32,211
bureaucratic vice president
came to power,
76
00:05:32,213 --> 00:05:33,713
we hardly noticed...
77
00:05:36,251 --> 00:05:38,519
...as he achieved
a position of authority
78
00:05:38,521 --> 00:05:39,886
that very few leaders
79
00:05:39,888 --> 00:05:43,093
in the history of America
ever have...
80
00:05:45,026 --> 00:05:46,927
- Vice President, for your...
- These tax cuts are...
81
00:05:46,929 --> 00:05:48,761
- ...get this started?
- That's for your fucking...
82
00:05:48,763 --> 00:05:50,997
I'm fucking dying!
83
00:05:50,999 --> 00:05:54,100
Forever changing
the course of history
84
00:05:54,102 --> 00:05:57,206
for millions
and millions of lives.
85
00:05:59,074 --> 00:06:02,309
And he did it like a ghost,
86
00:06:02,311 --> 00:06:06,413
with most people
having no idea who he is
87
00:06:06,415 --> 00:06:08,050
or where he came from.
88
00:06:27,102 --> 00:06:32,242
How does a man
go on to become who he is?
89
00:06:33,908 --> 00:06:38,612
Well, it starts in 1963...
90
00:06:38,614 --> 00:06:40,079
when Dick's best girl, Lynne,
91
00:06:40,081 --> 00:06:43,218
was getting straight A's
at Colorado College.
92
00:06:48,090 --> 00:06:51,761
Lynne had helped Dick get
a scholarship at Yale...
93
00:06:53,929 --> 00:06:58,632
where he did way more
drinking than class attending.
94
00:07:00,636 --> 00:07:03,306
Pretty soon,
Dick got the boot.
95
00:07:14,516 --> 00:07:16,117
Back then,
they would've called
96
00:07:16,119 --> 00:07:18,821
a guy like him
a ne'er-do-well.
97
00:07:20,788 --> 00:07:22,855
In today's parlance,
98
00:07:22,857 --> 00:07:25,060
they would just call him
a dirtbag.
99
00:07:28,364 --> 00:07:29,833
Man down!
100
00:07:34,571 --> 00:07:36,138
Ooh!
101
00:07:40,141 --> 00:07:42,276
His leg looks like
an Elvis dance move.
102
00:07:43,980 --> 00:07:46,579
Somebody give that poor son
of a bitch a shot of whiskey.
103
00:07:46,581 --> 00:07:48,283
All right, back to work.
104
00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:51,487
I said, back to work.
105
00:07:54,422 --> 00:07:57,490
Take him into town,
put five dollars in his pocket.
106
00:07:57,492 --> 00:07:58,959
Find another man for tomorrow.
107
00:07:58,961 --> 00:08:01,627
Somebody help.
108
00:08:01,629 --> 00:08:03,831
You got a problem, Cheney?
109
00:08:03,833 --> 00:08:05,201
No, sir.
110
00:08:18,581 --> 00:08:19,913
Huh?
111
00:08:19,915 --> 00:08:21,551
Are we becoming friends?
112
00:08:22,684 --> 00:08:24,651
Will you stop touching me?
113
00:08:24,653 --> 00:08:25,920
What?
114
00:08:25,922 --> 00:08:28,488
What are you gonna do
about it, Mr. Yale?
115
00:08:28,490 --> 00:08:30,358
Huh? Whoo!
116
00:08:31,259 --> 00:08:34,528
The fuck you gonna do
about it, Mr. Yale? Come on!
117
00:08:34,530 --> 00:08:36,199
There you go.

Two times!
124
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:13,734
I have to drag you
out of that jail
125
00:09:13,736 --> 00:09:17,071
like a filthy hobo.
126
00:09:17,073 --> 00:09:18,437
I'm sorry, Lynne.
127
00:09:18,439 --> 00:09:19,541
What?
128
00:09:21,176 --> 00:09:23,744
- What did you just say?
- I'm sorry, Lynnie.
129
00:09:23,746 --> 00:09:25,615
You're sorry?
Don't call me "Lynnie."
130
00:09:28,583 --> 00:09:29,986
You're sorry.
131
00:09:32,121 --> 00:09:34,754
One time is "I'm sorry."
132
00:09:34,756 --> 00:09:38,493
Two times makes me think that
I've picked the wrong man.
133
00:09:39,728 --> 00:09:41,861
You already got your ass
thrown out of Yale
134
00:09:41,863 --> 00:09:44,831
for drinking and fighting.
135
00:09:44,833 --> 00:09:46,033
And now you're just going
to be a lush
136
00:09:46,035 --> 00:09:47,600
that hangs power lines
for the state?
137
00:09:47,602 --> 00:09:49,001
Are you gonna live
in a trailer?
138
00:09:49,003 --> 00:09:50,270
We're gonna have ten kids?
Is that the plan?
139
00:09:50,272 --> 00:09:51,471
Can we discuss
this later, please?
140
00:09:51,473 --> 00:09:52,940
No, we're gonna
discuss this right now
141
00:09:52,942 --> 00:09:54,807
while you smell like vomit
142
00:09:54,809 --> 00:09:56,178
and cheap booze.
143
00:09:57,011 --> 00:09:58,979
- Does Dick want some coffee?
- What?
144
00:09:58,981 --> 00:10:00,514
Mom, get out!
145
00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:02,682
Get out.
"Does Dick want some coffee?"
146
00:10:02,684 --> 00:10:04,654
Jesus Christ!
147
00:10:05,953 --> 00:10:07,556
Okay. Here's my plan.
148
00:10:08,991 --> 00:10:10,226
All right?
149
00:10:11,227 --> 00:10:15,961
Either you stand up straight...
150
00:10:15,963 --> 00:10:18,865
and you get
your back straight...
151
00:10:18,867 --> 00:10:21,869
and you have the courage
to become someone,
152
00:10:21,871 --> 00:10:23,403
or I'm gone.
153
00:10:23,405 --> 00:10:24,605
I know a dozen guys
154
00:10:24,607 --> 00:10:26,576
and a few professors at school
who would date me.
155
00:10:27,543 --> 00:10:28,775
I love you, Lynne.
156
00:10:28,777 --> 00:10:30,078
Then prove it!
157
00:10:31,347 --> 00:10:32,915
Prove it!
158
00:10:35,650 --> 00:10:36,953
I can't...
159
00:10:38,253 --> 00:10:40,320
go to a big
Ivy League school,
160
00:10:40,322 --> 00:10:43,190
and I can't run a company
or be mayor.
161
00:10:43,192 --> 00:10:45,725
That's just the way
the world is for a girl.
162
00:10:45,727 --> 00:10:46,728
I need you.
163
00:10:47,630 --> 00:10:53,303
And right now you are
a big, fat, piss-soaked zero.
164
00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:01,075
I've, I've seen my mom
waitin' up all night
165
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,308
for my father to get home.
166
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:05,078
And I've seen my father
drunk in this house
167
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,147
and raising his voice
and way worse,
168
00:11:07,149 --> 00:11:10,484
and I am not dancing
that dance anymore. I'm not.
169
00:11:10,486 --> 00:11:12,188
You know why I fuck her?
170
00:11:18,995 --> 00:11:20,263
I'm not.
171
00:11:21,530 --> 00:11:22,765
So can you change?
172
00:11:23,732 --> 00:11:27,170
Can you change, or am I
wasting my goddamn time?
173
00:11:34,376 --> 00:11:36,679
I won't ever
disappoint you again, Lynne.
174
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:10,604
You were chosen
because of your hard work,
175
00:13:10,606 --> 00:13:12,775
your diligence,
and dedication.
176
00:13:13,543 --> 00:13:18,144
Stated simply, you are
America's best and brightest.
177
00:13:22,617 --> 00:13:26,588
So let's go forward and learn
and be of service.
178
00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:29,355
God bless you all
179
00:13:29,357 --> 00:13:33,760
and God bless
this great nation.
180
00:13:33,762 --> 00:13:38,197
And now, I'd like to introduce
some... a young man from Illinois
181
00:13:38,199 --> 00:13:39,999
who has done quite well
for himself
182
00:13:40,001 --> 00:13:41,335
here in the Capitol.
183
00:13:41,337 --> 00:13:45,138
Representative Donald Rumsfeld.
184
00:13:52,580 --> 00:13:58,585
Did Bob tell you that this
internship is a great honor?
185
00:13:58,587 --> 00:13:59,789
Huh?
186
00:14:01,223 --> 00:14:02,621
Did he?
187
00:14:02,623 --> 00:14:03,758
Huh? Yeah?
188
00:14:04,892 --> 00:14:07,463
Well, it's not.
189
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:11,030
It's what we called
in the Navy a "shit detail."
190
00:14:12,534 --> 00:14:14,268
Donald Rumsfeld,
191
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:16,870
or "Rummy,"
as they called him,
192
00:14:16,872 --> 00:14:20,440
was the former captain of
the Princeton wrestling team
193
00:14:20,442 --> 00:14:23,412
and an elite navy jet pilot.
194
00:14:24,179 --> 00:14:27,214
Most congressmen
use their power like an axe.
195
00:14:27,216 --> 00:14:28,682
Best and brightest.
196
00:14:28,684 --> 00:14:31,951
Rumsfeld,
on the other hand, used his...
197
00:14:31,953 --> 00:14:32,987
Where?
198
00:14:33,789 --> 00:14:36,690
...like a master
of the butterfly knife.
199
00:14:36,692 --> 00:14:39,426
And, like any master,
if you got in his way,
200
00:14:39,428 --> 00:14:41,161
he would cut you.
201
00:14:42,497 --> 00:14:45,030
This can be
a great opportunity.
202
00:14:45,032 --> 00:14:47,167
An opportunity to work
203
00:14:47,169 --> 00:14:50,236
in the hallways
of decision-making
204
00:14:50,238 --> 00:14:53,374
in the most powerful country
in the goddamn world.
205
00:14:54,175 --> 00:14:55,576
And if that doesn't give you
a hard-on,
206
00:14:55,578 --> 00:14:57,277
I don't know what will.
207
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:01,014
Sorry to the few ladies
in the room.
208
00:15:01,016 --> 00:15:04,116
This program didn't used
to have girls, and now it does.
209
00:15:04,118 --> 00:15:06,186
Anyway, I'm Don.
210
00:15:06,188 --> 00:15:07,523
Whatever you do...
211
00:15:08,924 --> 00:15:11,658
don't work for Bob over here.
212
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:14,494
He is the most boring
son of a bitch in D.C.
213
00:15:14,496 --> 00:15:15,798
Isn't that right, Bob?
214
00:15:16,931 --> 00:15:18,264
All right, that's it.
215
00:15:18,266 --> 00:15:20,466
Go get a congressman
a cup of coffee.
216
00:15:20,468 --> 00:15:23,135
And if his wife calls,
he's always in a meeting.
217
00:15:23,137 --> 00:15:25,639
All right, that's it. Scat.
218
00:15:29,978 --> 00:15:31,211
Hey, I'm Alan.
219
00:15:31,213 --> 00:15:32,413
You're the other guy
from the University
220
00:15:32,415 --> 00:15:34,147
- of Wisconsin, right?
- Right.
221
00:15:34,149 --> 00:15:36,448
Uh, so one of us
is supposed to start
222
00:15:36,450 --> 00:15:38,350
with a Democrat
and the other a Republican.
223
00:15:38,352 --> 00:15:40,586
Do you care
if I go with the Dem?
224
00:15:40,588 --> 00:15:43,391
'Cause I did a lot of work
with the DNC on campus, so...
225
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:48,128
Um, what party is,
uh, the guy we just heard?
226
00:15:48,130 --> 00:15:50,563
Well, there are three penises
walking down the street.
227
00:15:50,565 --> 00:15:52,131
Yeah, you,
and who are the other two?
228
00:15:52,133 --> 00:15:55,303
Rumsfeld is a Republican.
229
00:15:57,372 --> 00:15:59,375
Perfect. 'Cause, uh...
230
00:16:01,175 --> 00:16:02,377
that's what I am.
231
00:16:15,623 --> 00:16:18,293
Don't lurk.
Come in, damn it.
232
00:16:19,561 --> 00:16:23,996
Um, Dick Cheney,
reporting for work.
233
00:16:23,998 --> 00:16:25,398
You're congressional relations
234
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,433
for my Office
of Economic Opportunity,
235
00:16:27,435 --> 00:16:29,402
and you will assist me
in my job
236
00:16:29,404 --> 00:16:30,873
as counselor to the president.
237
00:16:32,907 --> 00:16:33,908
Right.
238
00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:36,543
Jesus Christ,
you want me
239
00:16:36,545 --> 00:16:38,043
to pin your mittens
to your sleeves
240
00:16:38,045 --> 00:16:39,078
so you don't fuckin' lose 'em?
241
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,214
- Go.
- Yes, sir.
242
00:16:40,982 --> 00:16:44,317
Oh, and Cheney, your two DUIs
came up on your transcript.
243
00:16:44,319 --> 00:16:45,951
Don't worry.
I vouched for you.
244
00:16:45,953 --> 00:16:47,287
Thank you, sir.
245
00:16:47,289 --> 00:16:48,754
No, thanks are when
your neighbor Dottie
246
00:16:48,756 --> 00:16:50,760
pulls your pud
for the first time.
247
00:16:52,227 --> 00:16:53,760
You owe me.
248
00:16:53,762 --> 00:16:55,397
- Yes, sir.
- Go!
249
00:16:58,199 --> 00:17:00,967
The first thing
our department did
250
00:17:00,969 --> 00:17:03,970
was to conduct
a sweeping audit
251
00:17:03,972 --> 00:17:08,107
at the population distribution
across the nation.
252
00:17:08,109 --> 00:17:09,743
You will see that
253
00:17:09,745 --> 00:17:12,211
the Office of Economic
Opportunity benefits...
254
00:17:12,213 --> 00:17:14,347
You're Rumsfeld's
lackey, right?
255
00:17:14,349 --> 00:17:15,815
Make sure he sees this.
256
00:17:15,817 --> 00:17:17,717
We gotta get that
on Nixon's desk, huh?
257
00:17:17,719 --> 00:17:20,854
Roger Ailes,
founder of Fox News.
258
00:17:20,856 --> 00:17:23,624
He first pitched the idea
as Conservative News
259
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:26,292
when he worked for Nixon
as a media consultant.
260
00:17:26,294 --> 00:17:28,126
Hey, Don.
261
00:17:28,128 --> 00:17:30,797
Roger wants Nixon to start
a Republican news TV network.
262
00:17:30,799 --> 00:17:34,500
Forget it. Roger knows TV,
but he doesn't know politics.
263
00:17:34,502 --> 00:17:36,936
So I would do this
flaming baton trick
264
00:17:36,938 --> 00:17:40,339
And Dick would wait backstage
with a bucket of water.
265
00:17:40,341 --> 00:17:41,607
So I'm at the state finals,
266
00:17:41,609 --> 00:17:43,876
and I throw up the baton,
and...
267
00:17:43,878 --> 00:17:45,144
it doesn't come down.
268
00:17:46,714 --> 00:17:49,749
Cheney! Oh.
Where did you find her?
269
00:17:49,751 --> 00:17:51,585
It is doing nothing but damage
270
00:17:51,587 --> 00:17:54,386
to our private
health care institutions.
271
00:17:54,388 --> 00:17:56,588
But I still got second place.
272
00:17:56,590 --> 00:17:58,525
White families.
Males.
273
00:17:58,527 --> 00:18:00,527
Women. Hispanics.
Minorities...
274
00:18:00,529 --> 00:18:02,064
You're quiet. I like that.
275
00:18:02,865 --> 00:18:05,897
You don't go blabbing about
what cards you have.
276
00:18:05,899 --> 00:18:08,736
I missed my flush draw
about a month ago,
277
00:18:09,538 --> 00:18:12,405
but everybody still seems
to think I have pocket kings
278
00:18:12,407 --> 00:18:13,839
except maybe fucking Haldeman.
279
00:18:13,841 --> 00:18:16,477
Oh, I mostly play Hearts,
so I'm not...
280
00:18:16,479 --> 00:18:18,144
No, no, no.
281
00:18:18,146 --> 00:18:20,046
For a man
like Donald Rumsfeld,
282
00:18:20,048 --> 00:18:24,116
he only wanted three things
from his lackey.
283
00:18:24,118 --> 00:18:26,521
He had to keep his mouth shut.
284
00:18:27,521 --> 00:18:29,058
Do what he was told.
285
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:34,160
And always, always be loyal.
286
00:18:34,162 --> 00:18:35,929
What it means is
Nixon likes me,
287
00:18:35,931 --> 00:18:36,863
but his circle hates me.
288
00:18:36,865 --> 00:18:38,230
No, I'm sure
that's not true.
289
00:18:38,232 --> 00:18:40,032
So, what's it gonna be?
290
00:18:40,034 --> 00:18:41,902
Is it a "yes" or a "no"?
291
00:18:41,904 --> 00:18:43,603
It's a "yes."
292
00:18:43,605 --> 00:18:45,439
You don't even know
what the question is, do you?
293
00:18:45,441 --> 00:18:48,909
- I'm assuming it's to...
- No, no, no. It's okay.
294
00:18:48,911 --> 00:18:50,777
That's exactly the kinda "yes"
I was looking for.
295
00:18:50,779 --> 00:18:53,779
Cheney had always
been a so-so student
296
00:18:53,781 --> 00:18:55,582
and a mediocre athlete.
297
00:18:55,584 --> 00:19:00,252
But now, finally, he had found
his life's calling.
298
00:19:00,254 --> 00:19:05,692
He would be a dedicated
and humble servant to power.
299
00:19:05,694 --> 00:19:06,928
Here's your new office.
300
00:19:07,695 --> 00:19:09,061
No windows,
but all you'd see
301
00:19:09,063 --> 00:19:11,533
are a bunch of hippies
flipping off Nixon.
302
00:19:13,001 --> 00:19:14,170
All right, then.
303
00:19:18,573 --> 00:19:20,006
Now, at this point,
304
00:19:20,008 --> 00:19:23,813
you're probably wondering
who exactly I am.
305
00:19:24,879 --> 00:19:26,945
Well, let me introduce myself.
306
00:19:26,947 --> 00:19:28,448
My name is Kurt.
307
00:19:28,450 --> 00:19:31,517
My favorite football team
is the Steelers,
308
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:35,055
and me and my son,
we love SpongeBob.
309
00:19:35,057 --> 00:19:36,788
And if you're wondering
how I know
310
00:19:36,790 --> 00:19:39,460
so much about Dick Cheney,
311
00:19:39,462 --> 00:19:43,296
well, let's just say
we're kind of related.
312
00:19:43,298 --> 00:19:44,934
We'll get to that later.
313
00:19:48,636 --> 00:19:49,801
The Rifleman!
314
00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:57,344
- Hello?
- Lynnie,
315
00:19:57,346 --> 00:19:59,147
guess where
I'm calling from.
316
00:20:01,683 --> 00:20:04,185
I am so proud of you
right now, Dick Cheney.
317
00:20:04,986 --> 00:20:08,089
I knew I picked the right man.
I knew it even when I didn't.
318
00:20:09,992 --> 00:20:11,961
We did it.
319
00:20:12,761 --> 00:20:15,194
Have you seen Nixon? Hmm?
320
00:20:15,196 --> 00:20:17,497
Hmm? Hmm?
321
00:20:17,499 --> 00:20:19,932
I did. I met him.
I shook his hand.
322
00:20:19,934 --> 00:20:23,103
Oh, my gosh.
And he called you
323
00:20:23,105 --> 00:20:25,137
- He gave me that, uh...
- By name, like he actually...
324
00:20:25,139 --> 00:20:26,941
...that impish smile of his.
325
00:20:27,709 --> 00:20:29,608
I gotta pinch myself.
326
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:32,979
Pardon my French.
327
00:20:32,981 --> 00:20:37,049
It is the best fucking feeling
in the world.
328
00:20:37,051 --> 00:20:40,453
I can only imagine.
I am so proud of you.
329
00:20:40,455 --> 00:20:42,454
- I love you.
- We are proud of you.
330
00:20:42,456 --> 00:20:44,524
Your girls are proud of you.
Are you proud of your daddy?
331
00:20:44,526 --> 00:20:46,025
Yes.
332
00:20:46,027 --> 00:20:48,060
Can you say you're proud
of your daddy?
333
00:20:48,062 --> 00:20:49,395
My daddy.
334
00:20:49,397 --> 00:20:50,630
You're proud of your daddy.
335
00:20:50,632 --> 00:20:52,399
Oh, my goodness.
336
00:21:10,652 --> 00:21:12,117
Dick Cheney's office.
337
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,721
So, now that I'm not just
flipping cards,
338
00:21:15,723 --> 00:21:17,323
I have a few ideas.
339
00:21:17,325 --> 00:21:18,327
Stop.
340
00:21:19,328 --> 00:21:20,296
See that door?
341
00:21:21,396 --> 00:21:23,430
To Kissinger's office?
342
00:21:23,432 --> 00:21:24,365
That's right.
343
00:21:25,165 --> 00:21:27,267
I happen to know that Nixon
is in there right now.
344
00:21:27,269 --> 00:21:28,835
Now, why would Nixon
345
00:21:28,837 --> 00:21:30,869
not be meeting Kissinger
in the Oval Office?
346
00:21:30,871 --> 00:21:32,038
He's having
a conversation
347
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,472
he doesn't want to go
on the record?
348
00:21:33,474 --> 00:21:34,907
Very good.
349
00:21:34,909 --> 00:21:36,678
What is the conversation?
350
00:21:37,646 --> 00:21:38,911
We're going to bomb Cambodia.
351
00:21:38,913 --> 00:21:40,680
Well, that's impossible.
352
00:21:40,682 --> 00:21:42,348
That needs approval
by Congress.
353
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:43,849
I'm over there every day.
354
00:21:43,851 --> 00:21:45,852
Oh, fuck Congress.
Unless you're in it.
355
00:21:45,854 --> 00:21:48,488
Then it's the greatest
deliberative body on earth.
356
00:21:48,490 --> 00:21:50,123
But we're not, so fuck it.
357
00:21:50,125 --> 00:21:52,025
But didn't the president
campaign on ending the...
358
00:21:52,027 --> 00:21:54,129
Listen to me, listen to me.
359
00:21:55,563 --> 00:21:56,962
Because of the discussion
360
00:21:56,964 --> 00:21:58,999
that Nixon and Kissinger
are having right now
361
00:21:59,001 --> 00:22:00,732
behind that door
362
00:22:00,734 --> 00:22:02,568
five feet away from us,
363
00:22:02,570 --> 00:22:05,305
in a couple of days,
10,000 miles away,
364
00:22:05,307 --> 00:22:07,740
a rain of 750-pound bombs
365
00:22:07,742 --> 00:22:09,642
dropped from B-52s
366
00:22:09,644 --> 00:22:11,044
at 20,000 feet,
367
00:22:11,046 --> 00:22:14,283
will hit villages and towns
all across Cambodia.
368
00:22:15,683 --> 00:22:16,984
Thousands will die.
369
00:22:17,985 --> 00:22:20,789
And the world will change,
for better or worse.
370
00:22:28,896 --> 00:22:30,763
That is the kind of power
that exists
371
00:22:30,765 --> 00:22:32,900
in this squat little
ugly building.
372
00:22:34,336 --> 00:22:37,372
Screw Kissinger.
He's overrated. Let's go.
373
00:22:42,876 --> 00:22:44,644
So, what are we...
374
00:22:44,646 --> 00:22:47,046
- Um, you know, I mean...
- Spit it out.
375
00:22:47,048 --> 00:22:49,182
- What are you trying to say?
- Are we against spending?
376
00:22:49,184 --> 00:22:50,184
What do we believe?
377
00:22:51,252 --> 00:22:52,721
What do we believe?
378
00:23:03,463 --> 00:23:05,198
"What do we believe?"
379
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,334
Oh. That's very good.
380
00:23:08,336 --> 00:23:09,801
"What do we believe?"
381
00:23:17,212 --> 00:23:19,381
Oh, shit!
382
00:23:27,521 --> 00:23:28,820
Like that,
through there.
383
00:23:28,822 --> 00:23:30,589
- You wanna try?
- Yeah.
384
00:23:30,591 --> 00:23:32,392
You find out
what the fish want.
385
00:23:32,394 --> 00:23:34,560
In this case, it's a worm.
386
00:23:34,562 --> 00:23:37,564
And then, uh,
we use it to catch him.
387
00:23:37,566 --> 00:23:38,631
Look it. Look it.
388
00:23:38,633 --> 00:23:40,400
Dada. Dada, look.
389
00:23:40,402 --> 00:23:41,768
The family gets to eat.
390
00:23:41,770 --> 00:23:44,439
Is it a good trick
we're playing, for the worms?
391
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,476
It's not good or bad.
It's fishing.
392
00:23:48,542 --> 00:23:50,041
I don't want this one hurt.
393
00:23:50,043 --> 00:23:51,611
Dick had taken a job
394
00:23:51,613 --> 00:23:55,181
as a political consultant
for a large financial firm,
395
00:23:55,183 --> 00:23:57,518
where he was finally making
good money.
396
00:23:58,286 --> 00:24:01,320
He took the job
because Nixon's inner circle
397
00:24:01,322 --> 00:24:04,222
had had enough
of Donald Rumsfeld.
398
00:24:04,224 --> 00:24:05,825
I'm out.
399
00:24:05,827 --> 00:24:07,559
They're sending me
to Brussels.
400
00:24:07,561 --> 00:24:09,028
What?
401
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:13,467
Nixon is making me
permanent ambassador to NATO.
402
00:24:13,469 --> 00:24:14,866
Or as he called it...
403
00:24:14,868 --> 00:24:16,536
It's a fuck-off assignment.
404
00:24:16,538 --> 00:24:17,770
Kissinger and Haldeman won.
405
00:24:17,772 --> 00:24:19,137
Why don't you come with me?
406
00:24:19,139 --> 00:24:23,076
I got a four
and a seven-year-old, Don.
407
00:24:23,078 --> 00:24:24,877
Tell Don we are not moving
408
00:24:24,879 --> 00:24:27,046
just because everyone
at the White House hates him.
409
00:24:27,048 --> 00:24:28,314
Good boy!
410
00:24:28,316 --> 00:24:30,650
I taught you well
these past couple of years.
411
00:24:30,652 --> 00:24:32,020
I'm sorry, Don.
412
00:24:34,289 --> 00:24:35,454
I really am.
413
00:24:35,456 --> 00:24:36,556
Don't worry.
414
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:38,124
I'm like bedbugs.
415
00:24:38,126 --> 00:24:40,459
You'll have to burn
the mattress to get rid of me.
416
00:24:41,930 --> 00:24:44,529
Dick was becoming
sharper and sharper
417
00:24:44,531 --> 00:24:46,365
as a D.C. insider.
418
00:24:46,367 --> 00:24:49,102
And Lynne had started
to write articles
419
00:24:49,104 --> 00:24:51,537
and explore ideas
for her first novel.
420
00:24:51,539 --> 00:24:52,907
Dick.
421
00:24:54,142 --> 00:24:55,176
Dick.
422
00:24:56,144 --> 00:25:00,747
Then she received news
from back home in Casper.
423
00:25:05,986 --> 00:25:07,554
The Lord is my shepherd.
424
00:25:07,556 --> 00:25:08,653
I shall not want.
425
00:25:08,655 --> 00:25:10,056
Lynne's mother Edna,
426
00:25:10,058 --> 00:25:12,491
who had avoided the water
her whole life,
427
00:25:12,493 --> 00:25:15,928
was found drowned
in the local Casper lake.
428
00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:17,297
...paths of righteousness.
429
00:25:17,299 --> 00:25:20,031
They said her
and Wayne, Lynne's dad,
430
00:25:20,033 --> 00:25:23,336
had had a nasty argument
an hour before.
431
00:25:23,338 --> 00:25:24,807
She doesn't swim, Dick.
432
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,906
- My mother doesn't swim.
- What happened?
433
00:25:27,908 --> 00:25:31,109
She never swam.
I don't... I don't know.
434
00:25:31,111 --> 00:25:33,114
She just never swims,
and then...
435
00:25:34,214 --> 00:25:36,915
There was never
a serious investigation
436
00:25:36,917 --> 00:25:39,018
into Lynne's mom's death.
437
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:41,020
You wanna see me do
a handstand right here?
438
00:25:41,022 --> 00:25:44,290
- No. Don't. Dad. Dad.
- I can do it right here.
439
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:45,924
They're getting so big.
440
00:25:45,926 --> 00:25:47,425
You're gonna be
all right, Dad.
441
00:25:47,427 --> 00:25:49,229
- Yeah. Yeah.
- They're big girls.
442
00:25:49,231 --> 00:25:50,296
God, Dad...
443
00:25:50,298 --> 00:25:51,932
So listen,
after this we should...
444
00:25:51,934 --> 00:25:53,532
What should we do?
Should we go get some food?
445
00:25:53,534 --> 00:25:54,567
Girls...
446
00:25:54,569 --> 00:25:55,768
Dick, they were saying
maybe...
447
00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:57,338
Why don't you go
to the car?
448
00:25:58,639 --> 00:26:02,176
Come on, girls, let's listen
to your father, all right?
449
00:26:09,417 --> 00:26:13,419
They're gettin' so beautiful,
Dick. It's amazing.
450
00:26:13,421 --> 00:26:14,556
- Mmm.
- Just...
451
00:26:18,026 --> 00:26:20,529
You catching any fish?
452
00:26:27,034 --> 00:26:28,402
How are you, Dick?
453
00:26:30,938 --> 00:26:32,573
Things going good in D.C.?
454
00:26:35,342 --> 00:26:38,579
Don't ever go near
my daughters or my wife again.
455
00:26:47,888 --> 00:26:49,156
Hmm.
456
00:26:57,365 --> 00:26:58,467
Big shot!
457
00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:01,937
"Big shot in D.C." Dick.
458
00:27:10,845 --> 00:27:12,114
Sir?
459
00:27:14,081 --> 00:27:15,714
- Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
460
00:27:30,030 --> 00:27:32,464
So, uh,
what do you got?
461
00:27:32,466 --> 00:27:33,501
Page eight.
462
00:27:38,606 --> 00:27:40,406
Hassan Mustafa Nasr,
463
00:27:40,408 --> 00:27:42,643
a cleric
based in Milan, Italy.
464
00:27:43,444 --> 00:27:46,311
He's a member
of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya,
465
00:27:46,313 --> 00:27:48,213
the group that killed
Anwar Sadat.
466
00:27:48,215 --> 00:27:50,182
That's the blind sheikh,
right?
467
00:27:50,184 --> 00:27:51,884
There's some debate at Langley
468
00:27:51,886 --> 00:27:54,920
on whether
they're a threat or not.
469
00:27:54,922 --> 00:27:56,591
They claim to be peaceful now.
470
00:27:58,259 --> 00:28:01,527
I claim to be eating healthy.
471
00:28:11,504 --> 00:28:12,573
Okay.
472
00:28:13,875 --> 00:28:15,242
Go pick him up.
473
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:41,770
What's the next name?
474
00:28:43,271 --> 00:28:44,903
Well, Mr. Vice President,
475
00:28:44,905 --> 00:28:48,374
there's been some chatter
about, uh, uh...
476
00:28:48,376 --> 00:28:51,109
an engineering student
from Berlin...
477
00:28:51,111 --> 00:28:53,680
I have never been
a quitter.
478
00:28:54,682 --> 00:28:57,049
To leave office
before my term is completed
479
00:28:57,051 --> 00:29:00,155
is abhorrent
to every instinct in my body.
480
00:29:02,188 --> 00:29:03,290
But as president...
481
00:29:04,059 --> 00:29:07,495
I must put the interests
of America first.
482
00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:12,298
America needs
a full-time president.
483
00:29:12,300 --> 00:29:15,604
Nixon forgot about
the voice-activated recorders.
484
00:29:16,771 --> 00:29:18,270
He got sloppy.
485
00:29:18,272 --> 00:29:20,105
Is the president
being punished?
486
00:29:20,107 --> 00:29:22,907
No, no. The president has
a lot of enemies.
487
00:29:22,909 --> 00:29:25,010
Brussels, please.
488
00:29:25,012 --> 00:29:27,614
You need to remember,
Lizzie...
489
00:29:27,616 --> 00:29:29,949
The fight in the months
ahead for my personal vindication...
490
00:29:29,951 --> 00:29:33,086
...that if you have power,
people will always try to take it from you.
491
00:29:33,088 --> 00:29:34,455
Always.
492
00:29:35,222 --> 00:29:36,588
- Yeah.
- Yes, ma'am.
493
00:29:36,590 --> 00:29:38,624
You remember that.
494
00:29:38,626 --> 00:29:39,759
Donald Rumsfeld, please.
495
00:29:39,761 --> 00:29:42,595
This is a tragedy.
496
00:29:42,597 --> 00:29:43,962
That is our president.
497
00:29:43,964 --> 00:29:45,364
This is ridiculous.
498
00:29:45,366 --> 00:29:50,204
I actually think this could be
very, very good news.
499
00:29:54,175 --> 00:29:57,609
The way I see it,
any Republican not touched
500
00:29:57,611 --> 00:30:00,246
by Watergate
is golden right now.
501
00:30:00,248 --> 00:30:03,715
Nice. Well, Ford called me
before my plane took off,
502
00:30:03,717 --> 00:30:04,784
and I think we're in.
503
00:30:05,552 --> 00:30:08,753
Oh, still driving
this chick magnet, huh?
504
00:30:08,755 --> 00:30:09,989
You can always take the bus.
505
00:30:09,991 --> 00:30:11,292
Therefore...
506
00:30:12,193 --> 00:30:13,893
I shall resign
the presidency,
507
00:30:13,895 --> 00:30:15,530
effective at noon tomorrow.
508
00:30:16,731 --> 00:30:19,999
Vice President Ford
will be sworn in
509
00:30:20,001 --> 00:30:21,968
as president
at that hour...
510
00:30:21,970 --> 00:30:23,368
So what's the plan?
511
00:30:23,370 --> 00:30:27,742
Well, the plan is
to take over the damn place.
512
00:30:28,609 --> 00:30:30,442
Who lit a fire
under your ass?
513
00:30:30,444 --> 00:30:32,580
I haven't flipped cards
for a long time, Don.
514
00:30:39,087 --> 00:30:43,125
They gave me the keys
to the damn palace.
515
00:30:44,858 --> 00:30:46,261
Chief of Staff.
516
00:30:47,094 --> 00:30:49,028
Holy shit.
517
00:30:49,030 --> 00:30:51,930
You salty son of a bitch.
518
00:30:51,932 --> 00:30:53,365
You did it.
519
00:30:53,367 --> 00:30:55,835
All right,
we have work to do.
520
00:30:55,837 --> 00:30:58,905
Kissinger is trying to kiss
and make up with the Soviets.
521
00:30:59,706 --> 00:31:03,777
Well, let's make sure
that shit doesn't happen.
522
00:31:07,982 --> 00:31:09,283
Yeah.
523
00:31:16,823 --> 00:31:20,593
If I may, I believe
I may have a way
524
00:31:20,595 --> 00:31:23,429
to put an oar in the water
on Russia.
525
00:31:23,431 --> 00:31:25,832
What if we create...
526
00:31:25,834 --> 00:31:27,499
Mr. President.
527
00:31:27,501 --> 00:31:29,434
Hold on, Henry,
let's hear Dick out.
528
00:31:29,436 --> 00:31:32,438
One of Dick Cheney's
special superpowers
529
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,307
was the ability to make
530
00:31:34,309 --> 00:31:37,375
the most wild
and extreme ideas
531
00:31:37,377 --> 00:31:40,279
sound measured
and professional.
532
00:31:40,281 --> 00:31:42,615
What if,
on a unilateral basis,
533
00:31:42,617 --> 00:31:46,352
we all put miniature wigs
on our penises
534
00:31:46,354 --> 00:31:49,989
and we walked out
to the White House lawn
535
00:31:49,991 --> 00:31:51,490
and jerked each other off?
536
00:31:51,492 --> 00:31:56,194
So, like a puppet show,
but much more enjoyable.
537
00:31:56,196 --> 00:31:59,163
Hmm. I do like
a good puppet show.
538
00:31:59,165 --> 00:32:01,299
I say we do it.
539
00:32:01,301 --> 00:32:03,336
Henry
Kissinger has been relieved
540
00:32:03,338 --> 00:32:04,703
as national security advisor
541
00:32:04,705 --> 00:32:06,939
and replaced
by Brent Scowcroft.
542
00:32:08,675 --> 00:32:11,576
They're calling
it the Halloween Massacre.
543
00:32:11,578 --> 00:32:12,877
- Mr. President.
- Hold on, Henry.
544
00:32:12,879 --> 00:32:14,579
Donald Rumsfeld
has replaced
545
00:32:14,581 --> 00:32:16,715
Secretary of Defense
James Schlesinger.
546
00:32:16,717 --> 00:32:18,483
And Dick Cheney
has been chosen as the...
547
00:32:18,485 --> 00:32:20,286
Youngest Chief of Staff
in history.
548
00:32:20,288 --> 00:32:22,390
- It's amazing. It's a dream.
- It's real.
549
00:32:23,491 --> 00:32:27,425
And Don is the youngest
Secretary of Defense ever.
550
00:32:27,427 --> 00:32:29,260
Well, I'm not talking
about Don.
551
00:32:29,262 --> 00:32:30,965
I'm talking about you.
552
00:32:32,834 --> 00:32:34,567
And I'm going to give you
553
00:32:34,569 --> 00:32:36,838
a kiss right here
in the White House.
554
00:32:38,306 --> 00:32:40,306
Excuse me,
Mr. And Mrs. Cheney,
555
00:32:40,308 --> 00:32:42,241
These girls were trying
to enter the Oval Office.
556
00:32:42,243 --> 00:32:44,742
Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
557
00:32:44,744 --> 00:32:47,579
- Girls...
- Hey. Hey, there. Hey, you!
558
00:32:47,581 --> 00:32:50,215
Girls, this is not
a playground. Please do not...
559
00:32:50,217 --> 00:32:52,085
Hey, you. Hey.
560
00:32:52,087 --> 00:32:54,455
Is this where Santa lives?
561
00:32:55,455 --> 00:32:57,858
It's even better.
It's even better.
562
00:32:58,925 --> 00:33:01,328
This is where...
563
00:33:02,329 --> 00:33:05,664
the leader of
the greatest nation
564
00:33:05,666 --> 00:33:07,400
on earth lives.
565
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:08,834
Are you one of his elves,
Daddy?
566
00:33:08,836 --> 00:33:10,269
In a way, yes.
567
00:33:10,271 --> 00:33:12,203
No, he is not, Mary.
568
00:33:12,205 --> 00:33:14,940
Your father is Chief of Staff.
569
00:33:14,942 --> 00:33:16,810
Chief of Staff.
570
00:33:17,945 --> 00:33:19,077
If you're silly with her,
571
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:20,346
she'll grow up to be
a silly woman.
572
00:33:20,348 --> 00:33:23,348
Right, of course.
I forgot.
573
00:33:23,350 --> 00:33:27,286
That's just, uh...
That's just silly, Mary.
574
00:33:27,288 --> 00:33:29,520
And as the new
Chief of Staff,
575
00:33:29,522 --> 00:33:32,490
and with the presidency
weakened by Watergate,
576
00:33:32,492 --> 00:33:34,058
Dick Cheney wanted to find out
577
00:33:34,060 --> 00:33:37,496
exactly how much power
did the president have.
578
00:33:37,498 --> 00:33:40,402
I would like to reinstate
executive authority.
579
00:33:41,234 --> 00:33:42,200
How?
580
00:33:42,202 --> 00:33:43,903
Antonin Scalia,
581
00:33:43,905 --> 00:33:45,837
a young lawyer
with the Justice Department
582
00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:48,840
who would later go on
to serve on the Supreme Court
583
00:33:48,842 --> 00:33:50,275
rocked Dick's world.
584
00:33:50,277 --> 00:33:51,676
Interesting you should ask.
585
00:33:51,678 --> 00:33:53,945
Are you familiar
with the theory
586
00:33:53,947 --> 00:33:55,446
of the unitary executive?
587
00:33:55,448 --> 00:33:57,115
No. Tell me about it.
588
00:33:57,117 --> 00:33:58,482
Uh, it is an interpretation
589
00:33:58,484 --> 00:34:00,486
that few, like myself,
happen to believe,
590
00:34:00,488 --> 00:34:02,287
in Article II
of the Constitution
591
00:34:02,289 --> 00:34:04,123
that vests the president
592
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:06,594
with absolute
executive authority.
593
00:34:07,494 --> 00:34:09,063
And I mean absolute.
594
00:34:21,942 --> 00:34:23,409
- Hey, baby?
- Yep?
595
00:34:23,411 --> 00:34:25,347
You wanna take Cole
to the high chair?
596
00:34:26,147 --> 00:34:27,379
Come on, buddy.
597
00:34:27,381 --> 00:34:28,948
I've gotta try
and explain
598
00:34:28,950 --> 00:34:30,415
this thing to the people.
599
00:34:30,417 --> 00:34:32,484
Oh, aren't you hungry?
600
00:34:32,486 --> 00:34:34,419
The unitary...
601
00:34:34,421 --> 00:34:36,020
executive...
602
00:34:36,022 --> 00:34:37,223
theory.
603
00:34:37,225 --> 00:34:39,558
Certain legal scholars
believe that
604
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,961
if the president
does anything,
605
00:34:41,963 --> 00:34:43,229
it must be legal,
606
00:34:43,231 --> 00:34:44,897
because it's the president.
607
00:34:44,899 --> 00:34:47,399
To hell with checks
and balances,
608
00:34:47,401 --> 00:34:49,803
especially
during times of war.
609
00:34:50,571 --> 00:34:56,109
This was the power of kings,
pharaohs, dictators.
610
00:34:56,111 --> 00:34:57,508
- This is perfect.
- Mm-hmm.
611
00:34:57,510 --> 00:34:59,745
Dick Cheney
was a foot soldier
612
00:34:59,747 --> 00:35:02,781
in the power games
of Washington, D.C.
613
00:35:02,783 --> 00:35:06,051
But with
the unitary executive theory,
614
00:35:06,053 --> 00:35:07,486
he could become...
615
00:35:07,488 --> 00:35:11,158
Galactus, Devourer of Planets.
616
00:35:12,792 --> 00:35:15,861
But then
it was election night,
617
00:35:15,863 --> 00:35:17,562
and there was one big problem.
618
00:35:17,564 --> 00:35:20,732
The winner,
with 272 electoral votes...
619
00:35:20,734 --> 00:35:22,033
we had wondered
which one of us
620
00:35:22,035 --> 00:35:23,334
was going to make
this announcement.
621
00:35:23,336 --> 00:35:26,004
James Earl Carter,
622
00:35:26,006 --> 00:35:27,673
the next president
of the United States.
623
00:35:27,675 --> 00:35:31,676
And just like that,
it was all over.
624
00:35:31,678 --> 00:35:34,446
Dick Cheney, the president's
Chief of Staff,
625
00:35:34,448 --> 00:35:36,247
he does not have a job.
626
00:35:36,249 --> 00:35:37,683
At one point, he was a broker.
627
00:35:37,685 --> 00:35:39,218
It can't be. It's got to be
some sort of a mistake.
628
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:41,689
- A miscalculation.
- There goes the neighborhood.
629
00:35:44,225 --> 00:35:45,460
Well...
630
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,761
thank you all.
631
00:35:48,763 --> 00:35:51,196
The Republicans
have lost the presidency.
632
00:35:51,198 --> 00:35:53,665
They are the minority in
Congress and in most states.
633
00:35:53,667 --> 00:35:55,935
With America demanding change,
I don't see...
634
00:35:55,937 --> 00:35:58,104
The GOP
is a party in disarray.
635
00:35:58,106 --> 00:36:00,471
Clearly, Watergate,
the Vietnam War...
636
00:36:00,473 --> 00:36:01,674
President Carter went up
637
00:36:01,676 --> 00:36:03,107
on the roof
of the White House today
638
00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:05,444
to show off the new
solar water heaters
639
00:36:05,446 --> 00:36:06,812
installed there.
640
00:36:06,814 --> 00:36:08,580
Today,
in directly harnessing
641
00:36:08,582 --> 00:36:10,116
the power of the sun,
we are taking
642
00:36:10,118 --> 00:36:12,183
the energy that God gave us,
643
00:36:12,185 --> 00:36:16,053
the most renewable energy
that we will ever see,
644
00:36:16,055 --> 00:36:18,589
and using it to replace
our dwindling supplies
645
00:36:18,591 --> 00:36:20,160
of fossil fuels.
646
00:36:21,629 --> 00:36:23,062
There is no longer
any question
647
00:36:23,064 --> 00:36:25,363
that solar energy
648
00:36:25,365 --> 00:36:28,869
is both feasible
and also cost-effective.
649
00:36:49,524 --> 00:36:51,089
...went on to be
Secretary of Defense.
650
00:36:51,091 --> 00:36:53,959
Al Haig, who became Supreme
Allied Commander in Europe,
651
00:36:53,961 --> 00:36:57,328
and, uh, Bob Haldeman,
who is doing time
652
00:36:57,330 --> 00:36:59,631
in a California penitentiary.
653
00:36:59,633 --> 00:37:01,033
Well, not me. Not me, sir.
654
00:37:01,035 --> 00:37:04,669
I, I will become
the gentleman from Wyoming.
655
00:37:04,671 --> 00:37:07,238
Most of all, and hear this,
656
00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:09,508
uh, taxes must go down.
657
00:37:09,510 --> 00:37:11,343
I'll say it again,
taxes must go down.
658
00:37:11,345 --> 00:37:13,544
- Talk. Talk.
- We must ameliorate the pain of taxes
659
00:37:13,546 --> 00:37:15,346
for the working man
660
00:37:15,348 --> 00:37:17,616
and bring, uh...
661
00:37:17,618 --> 00:37:20,118
...perspicacity to the fore.
662
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,221
I'm as much a Wyomingite,
our, uh, demonym...
663
00:37:24,223 --> 00:37:26,058
Blah, blah, blah.
664
00:37:26,060 --> 00:37:28,426
Thank God
for name recognition.
665
00:37:28,428 --> 00:37:29,962
...as Jedediah Smith.
666
00:37:29,964 --> 00:37:32,031
Well, um, enough
of the horsing around.
667
00:37:32,033 --> 00:37:35,901
Although that is, of course,
what, uh, us cowboys do.
668
00:37:35,903 --> 00:37:36,971
Um...
669
00:37:37,905 --> 00:37:41,240
Uh, vote for Cheney
for Congress.
670
00:37:41,242 --> 00:37:44,243
I will not let you down,
you can count on me.
671
00:37:44,245 --> 00:37:45,711
And, uh, thank you.
672
00:37:45,713 --> 00:37:50,182
Vote for, uh,
Cheney in Congress.
673
00:37:51,852 --> 00:37:53,821
Either he drinks next time
or I do.
674
00:37:55,555 --> 00:37:57,288
Yeah...
675
00:37:57,290 --> 00:37:58,790
I don't want anyone to panic,
676
00:37:58,792 --> 00:38:04,031
but, uh, I do believe
I have to go to the hospital.
677
00:38:05,332 --> 00:38:06,568
Now.
678
00:38:16,142 --> 00:38:19,578
It's an inferior wall infarct.
679
00:38:19,580 --> 00:38:22,050
But that,
that can be fixed, right?
680
00:38:22,816 --> 00:38:23,982
If it was up to me,
681
00:38:23,984 --> 00:38:25,687
you'd drop
out of the election.
682
00:38:27,588 --> 00:38:28,687
But you've both made
that clear
683
00:38:28,689 --> 00:38:30,321
that it's not an option,
684
00:38:30,323 --> 00:38:33,825
so you must have a minimum
of two weeks bed rest.
685
00:38:33,827 --> 00:38:36,261
Two weeks off,
we'll lose our lead.
686
00:38:36,263 --> 00:38:37,665
Like hell we will.
687
00:38:38,466 --> 00:38:39,763
Dick Cheney
has an illness,
688
00:38:39,765 --> 00:38:41,966
so he can't be here today.
689
00:38:41,968 --> 00:38:45,839
But we got his wife,
and she's a darn pretty girl.
690
00:38:46,707 --> 00:38:48,339
Lynne Cheney!
691
00:38:50,343 --> 00:38:51,743
Hello...
692
00:38:51,745 --> 00:38:53,879
Hello, how are you today?
693
00:38:53,881 --> 00:38:55,180
Good, good, good to hear.
694
00:38:55,182 --> 00:38:59,250
Uh, it's really nice
to be back in my home state.
695
00:38:59,252 --> 00:39:02,955
See, I grew up in Wyoming,
but it seems that, uh,
696
00:39:02,957 --> 00:39:05,091
somewhere along the line,
697
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:07,225
Washington, D.C.
stopped listening
698
00:39:07,227 --> 00:39:08,961
to real folks like us
699
00:39:08,963 --> 00:39:12,631
and started only listening
to liberal snobs
700
00:39:12,633 --> 00:39:14,598
who want us all
to lose our jobs
701
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,334
to affirmative action.
702
00:39:16,336 --> 00:39:17,371
Mm-hmm.
703
00:39:18,638 --> 00:39:19,872
Okay, Lynne. Let's...
704
00:39:21,475 --> 00:39:22,777
That's right.
705
00:39:23,877 --> 00:39:26,712
You know,
I went to New York City.
706
00:39:26,714 --> 00:39:29,413
Women in New York City
are burning their bras.
707
00:39:31,084 --> 00:39:33,451
Well, you know what women
in Wyoming do with our bras?
708
00:39:33,453 --> 00:39:35,620
We wear them.
709
00:39:35,622 --> 00:39:38,790
We wear them.
710
00:39:38,792 --> 00:39:40,058
Here in Wyoming,
711
00:39:40,060 --> 00:39:41,926
we believe there is
a right and a wrong...
712
00:39:41,928 --> 00:39:45,796
Because I'm a mom
and a wife from Wyoming
713
00:39:45,798 --> 00:39:49,234
and I know how it feels
to make every penny count.
714
00:39:49,236 --> 00:39:51,937
And not only
do I speak for you,
715
00:39:51,939 --> 00:39:53,138
but my husband, Dick Cheney...
716
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:55,040
A hard wind of change
717
00:39:55,042 --> 00:39:57,042
had been blowing
through America.
718
00:39:57,044 --> 00:40:00,982
Civil rights, Roe v. Wade,
environmentalism,
719
00:40:01,781 --> 00:40:03,147
but there was
a part of the country
720
00:40:03,149 --> 00:40:05,385
that was angry
about this change.
721
00:40:06,354 --> 00:40:10,258
Thanks to my amazing wife.
722
00:40:11,258 --> 00:40:14,926
It's good to be
joining you all here in D.C.
723
00:40:14,928 --> 00:40:17,365
as Wyoming's sole
congressional representative.
724
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:21,500
And then,
big money families
725
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:23,535
like the Kochs and the Coors
726
00:40:23,537 --> 00:40:26,071
that were sick of paying
income taxes
727
00:40:26,073 --> 00:40:28,540
rolled right into
Washington, D.C.
728
00:40:28,542 --> 00:40:31,142
and started writing fat checks
729
00:40:31,144 --> 00:40:32,979
to fund right-wing
think tanks...
730
00:40:34,781 --> 00:40:36,113
that would change the way
731
00:40:36,115 --> 00:40:38,852
many Americans
looked at the world.
732
00:40:41,055 --> 00:40:45,457
Finally, in 1980,
this unlikely revolution
733
00:40:45,459 --> 00:40:48,560
of the super-rich
and white conservatives
734
00:40:48,562 --> 00:40:49,861
found its face.
735
00:40:49,863 --> 00:40:51,930
For those without skills,
736
00:40:51,932 --> 00:40:54,665
we'll find a way
to help them get new skills.
737
00:40:54,667 --> 00:40:56,801
For those
without job opportunities,
738
00:40:56,803 --> 00:40:58,403
we'll stimulate
new opportunities,
739
00:40:58,405 --> 00:41:01,774
particularly in the inner
cities where they live.
740
00:41:01,776 --> 00:41:04,109
For those
who've abandoned hope,
741
00:41:04,111 --> 00:41:06,076
we'll restore hope
and we'll welcome them
742
00:41:06,078 --> 00:41:07,879
into a great national crusade
743
00:41:07,881 --> 00:41:10,149
to make America great again.
744
00:41:16,555 --> 00:41:17,992
Thank you very much.
745
00:41:19,827 --> 00:41:21,361
God bless America.
746
00:41:22,595 --> 00:41:26,897
It was
the fucking 1980s,
747
00:41:26,899 --> 00:41:29,970
and it was a hell of a time
to be Dick Cheney.
748
00:41:31,738 --> 00:41:35,073
Vote on H.R.4445,
749
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:37,542
the Undetectable Firearms Act,
750
00:41:37,544 --> 00:41:41,312
to ban plastic guns that can
evade metal detectors.
751
00:41:41,314 --> 00:41:42,781
Nay.
752
00:41:42,783 --> 00:41:45,750
Well, thank you,
Congressmen Cheney.
753
00:41:45,752 --> 00:41:47,620
I hear you've been
quite the ally.
754
00:41:47,622 --> 00:41:50,421
...establishing
Martin Luther King Jr. Day
755
00:41:50,423 --> 00:41:52,025
as a federal holiday.
756
00:41:52,792 --> 00:41:58,196
H.R.36441,
the Endangered Species Act.
757
00:41:58,198 --> 00:42:01,332
Mr. T is here,
right with the First Family.
758
00:42:01,334 --> 00:42:04,736
Vote on H.R.500,
the Water Quality Act.
759
00:42:04,738 --> 00:42:05,970
- Out!
- Woo!
760
00:42:05,972 --> 00:42:08,376
Vote on H.R.44...
761
00:42:10,144 --> 00:42:12,479
Someone call an ambulance!
762
00:42:13,881 --> 00:42:17,952
- Can you breathe?
- I'm having a heart attack, you idiot.
763
00:42:50,350 --> 00:42:52,183
Thank you, Alex,
for your very responsible...
764
00:42:52,185 --> 00:42:53,417
Oh, congratulations.
765
00:42:53,419 --> 00:42:56,354
Thank you.
I was very, very excited...
766
00:42:56,356 --> 00:42:58,723
- We are not wolves.
- Thank you.
767
00:42:58,725 --> 00:43:00,258
No, thank you.
768
00:43:00,260 --> 00:43:03,964
Oh, they're both brilliant
but broke.
769
00:43:06,267 --> 00:43:08,198
- Hey, George.
- Hey, Dick.
770
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,267
Hello, Lynne.
771
00:43:10,269 --> 00:43:11,837
Congratulations
on your appointment.
772
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:13,971
Oh, well, thank you,
Mr. Vice President.
773
00:43:13,973 --> 00:43:15,540
How is your lovely family?
774
00:43:15,542 --> 00:43:18,245
Well, we think our son Jeb
seems cut out for office.
775
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:22,948
We may be asking for your
endorsements in a few years.
776
00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:25,350
Well, if he's half as charming
as you are, George,
777
00:43:25,352 --> 00:43:26,917
then you'll have
both of our votes.
778
00:43:26,919 --> 00:43:28,053
Ah, can I get that in writing?
779
00:43:28,055 --> 00:43:29,321
Oh, yeah, of course.
780
00:43:29,323 --> 00:43:31,022
Dick, I just want
to say thank you
781
00:43:31,024 --> 00:43:32,558
for getting the House
not to override
782
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,825
the president's veto
on the fairness doctrine.
783
00:43:34,827 --> 00:43:36,461
No, not a problem.
784
00:43:36,463 --> 00:43:38,830
Happy to get rid of any
big government regulations.
785
00:43:38,832 --> 00:43:40,499
Thank you. Great.
786
00:43:40,501 --> 00:43:42,401
The fairness doctrine
was a law from the 40s
787
00:43:42,403 --> 00:43:45,604
that required
any broadcast TV or radio news
788
00:43:45,606 --> 00:43:48,540
to present both sides
of an issue equally.
789
00:43:48,542 --> 00:43:51,575
Its repeal would lead
to the rise of opinion news.
790
00:43:51,577 --> 00:43:56,215
Let me tell you something,
you skinny human prophylactic.
791
00:43:56,984 --> 00:43:59,551
Love is the only human emotion
you can't fake.
792
00:43:59,553 --> 00:44:01,819
Except women.
And thank God they can.
793
00:44:04,223 --> 00:44:06,124
And eventually
to the realization
794
00:44:06,126 --> 00:44:08,028
of Roger Ailes' dream.
795
00:44:08,828 --> 00:44:11,229
Fox News,
which would go on to become
796
00:44:11,231 --> 00:44:14,600
the number one news station
in the United States
797
00:44:14,602 --> 00:44:17,203
and swing America
even more to the right.
798
00:44:18,638 --> 00:44:20,671
Thank you. Great.
799
00:44:22,508 --> 00:44:25,243
Sorry. Sorry.
Hey, it's all right.
800
00:44:25,245 --> 00:44:27,011
Lighten up, sweetheart.
It's a party.
801
00:44:27,013 --> 00:44:28,279
Let me go see if I can see
802
00:44:28,281 --> 00:44:29,513
if everything's okay
over there.
803
00:44:29,515 --> 00:44:31,649
Great to see you both.
Love to the girls.
804
00:44:31,651 --> 00:44:32,850
Love to Barbara.
805
00:44:32,852 --> 00:44:34,618
Will do.
806
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:36,323
- That's his son.
- Oh, crap.
807
00:44:37,357 --> 00:44:39,457
George W.,
black sheep of the family.
808
00:44:39,459 --> 00:44:41,859
- Very boring people. Only in America...
- Let's go.
809
00:44:41,861 --> 00:44:44,264
A little too much
unconditional love there.
810
00:44:46,098 --> 00:44:48,299
Can you feel it, Dick?
811
00:44:48,301 --> 00:44:50,535
Half the room wants to be us.
812
00:44:50,537 --> 00:44:52,837
The other half fears us.
813
00:44:52,839 --> 00:44:55,575
I know George is next
in line, but...
814
00:44:56,977 --> 00:44:58,546
after that, who knows?
815
00:44:59,979 --> 00:45:02,382
I respect
the hell out of Reagan,
816
00:45:03,415 --> 00:45:06,317
but no one has shown the world
the true power
817
00:45:06,319 --> 00:45:08,488
of the American presidency.
818
00:45:35,781 --> 00:45:37,415
Excuse me, Miss Mary!
819
00:45:37,417 --> 00:45:41,188
You cannot leave the grounds
during school hours. Mary!
820
00:45:49,428 --> 00:45:51,029
Well, I don't understand.
821
00:45:51,031 --> 00:45:53,798
You just left school? Why?
822
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,702
It doesn't make any sense.
823
00:45:56,903 --> 00:45:58,338
It was Susan.
824
00:45:59,305 --> 00:46:01,207
Susan, your best friend?
825
00:46:02,542 --> 00:46:05,746
Oh, honey, did you get
in a fight over a boy or...
826
00:46:11,084 --> 00:46:13,220
She broke up with me.
827
00:46:15,923 --> 00:46:18,392
Mom, Dad...
828
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:21,725
I...
829
00:46:21,727 --> 00:46:23,164
I like girls.
830
00:46:24,131 --> 00:46:26,067
I'm gay.
831
00:46:46,252 --> 00:46:48,289
It doesn't matter, sweetheart.
832
00:46:49,888 --> 00:46:51,524
We love you no matter what.
833
00:46:53,459 --> 00:46:55,060
Daddy.
834
00:46:55,062 --> 00:46:56,864
I love you so much.
835
00:46:59,999 --> 00:47:01,568
This is going to make things...
836
00:47:02,702 --> 00:47:03,838
so hard for you.
837
00:47:11,611 --> 00:47:14,345
When George Bush Sr.
was elected president,
838
00:47:14,347 --> 00:47:18,183
Dick Cheney was made
Secretary of Defense,
839
00:47:18,185 --> 00:47:20,387
sixth in line
to the presidency.
840
00:47:21,254 --> 00:47:23,154
And after a few years,
841
00:47:23,156 --> 00:47:25,957
it was Dick's turn
to run for president.
842
00:47:25,959 --> 00:47:29,993
So they decided to do
some early polling numbers.
843
00:47:29,995 --> 00:47:31,631
Uh-huh. Guess that's it.
844
00:47:33,332 --> 00:47:35,769
We can move
those numbers. Just...
845
00:47:36,836 --> 00:47:38,403
go after the welfare state,
846
00:47:38,405 --> 00:47:40,638
- regulations, government waste.
- It'll be war.
847
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:41,872
No.
848
00:47:41,874 --> 00:47:43,408
I, uh...
849
00:47:43,410 --> 00:47:45,412
I can't put Mary through that.
850
00:47:47,147 --> 00:47:49,583
Every primary opponent
will go after her.
851
00:47:55,388 --> 00:47:57,223
And we deny.
852
00:47:58,725 --> 00:48:01,662
Shame them for going
after the family and...
853
00:48:40,033 --> 00:48:42,399
You let Grandma go.
854
00:48:42,401 --> 00:48:44,636
Come on. Good boy.
855
00:48:44,638 --> 00:48:45,639
All right.
856
00:48:47,173 --> 00:48:49,607
No. Oh, my goodness.
857
00:48:56,283 --> 00:48:57,714
It's great, Philip.
858
00:48:57,716 --> 00:49:00,151
Uh, Coors has me
mapping out strategies
859
00:49:00,153 --> 00:49:02,587
for people living
alternative lifestyles.
860
00:49:02,589 --> 00:49:04,455
The Coors are
a wonderful family.
861
00:49:04,457 --> 00:49:06,426
They're good people.
862
00:49:47,633 --> 00:49:50,903
Who is calling
on a Sunday morning?
863
00:49:52,372 --> 00:49:53,607
I don't know.
864
00:49:54,441 --> 00:49:56,941
Okay. I'm coming.
865
00:49:59,613 --> 00:50:00,681
I'm comin'.
866
00:50:03,917 --> 00:50:04,985
Hello.
867
00:50:08,722 --> 00:50:09,957
That's right.
868
00:50:13,260 --> 00:50:14,560
Mm-hmm.
869
00:50:20,133 --> 00:50:22,402
Any way I can be
of assistance.
870
00:50:24,905 --> 00:50:27,374
Yep, now that should work.
3:00 p.m.
871
00:50:28,675 --> 00:50:30,308
Of course.
872
00:50:30,310 --> 00:50:31,578
Oh, that, uh...
873
00:50:32,446 --> 00:50:34,048
that goes without saying.
874
00:50:36,249 --> 00:50:37,381
Thank you.
875
00:50:37,383 --> 00:50:38,918
No, thank you.
876
00:50:40,352 --> 00:50:41,754
Who was that?
877
00:50:42,823 --> 00:50:44,689
It was someone from
878
00:50:44,691 --> 00:50:47,825
George Bush's son's,
uh, campaign.
879
00:50:47,827 --> 00:50:48,794
Jeb?
880
00:50:48,796 --> 00:50:50,160
No, no, George W.
881
00:50:50,162 --> 00:50:52,296
- Uh, Jeb's Florida.
- Right, right.
882
00:50:52,298 --> 00:50:54,098
Oh, I still can't believe
they've got
883
00:50:54,100 --> 00:50:56,167
that poor boy running
for president.
884
00:50:56,169 --> 00:50:58,172
What'd they want?
885
00:50:59,205 --> 00:51:03,510
They want to talk to me
about being his running mate.
886
00:51:04,977 --> 00:51:06,079
What?
887
00:51:07,213 --> 00:51:08,979
They didn't say it outright,
888
00:51:08,981 --> 00:51:10,680
but, uh...
889
00:51:10,682 --> 00:51:12,585
I've made
that call myself.
890
00:51:13,385 --> 00:51:14,887
That's what they want.
891
00:51:16,421 --> 00:51:18,825
A vice president
is a nothing job.
892
00:51:20,026 --> 00:51:20,961
Mmm.
893
00:51:21,761 --> 00:51:23,694
Well, I'll just hear 'em out.
894
00:51:23,696 --> 00:51:25,395
I owe that to the father.
895
00:51:25,397 --> 00:51:27,665
The VP just sits around
896
00:51:27,667 --> 00:51:29,466
and waits
for the president to die.
897
00:51:29,468 --> 00:51:30,970
You've said so yourself.
898
00:51:32,305 --> 00:51:33,770
Yeah, it's a cruddy job.
899
00:51:33,772 --> 00:51:34,707
Yeah.
900
00:51:36,008 --> 00:51:37,377
It's just a meeting.
901
00:51:38,144 --> 00:51:39,879
Is it just a meeting?
902
00:51:41,981 --> 00:51:43,516
It's just a meeting.
903
00:51:48,787 --> 00:51:49,889
Good.
904
00:52:11,211 --> 00:52:12,546
Yes, Governor.
905
00:52:14,847 --> 00:52:16,446
Of course.
906
00:52:16,448 --> 00:52:18,184
The governor will see you now,
Secretary Cheney.
907
00:52:24,790 --> 00:52:25,758
Sure.
908
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,562
Hey! Hello, Dick.
909
00:52:30,564 --> 00:52:31,964
Hello, George.
910
00:52:33,033 --> 00:52:34,397
It's been a while.
911
00:52:34,399 --> 00:52:35,665
Last year.
912
00:52:35,667 --> 00:52:37,903
Foreign policy sessions.
913
00:52:37,905 --> 00:52:40,171
That's right.
Yeah, that's right.
914
00:52:40,173 --> 00:52:41,809
Those meetings were, uh...
915
00:52:42,975 --> 00:52:44,908
very engaging.
916
00:52:44,910 --> 00:52:47,712
I do remember
we both agreed
917
00:52:47,714 --> 00:52:49,180
my dad
would've been re-elected
918
00:52:49,182 --> 00:52:50,647
had he taken out Saddam.
919
00:52:50,649 --> 00:52:53,619
Right. Yeah,
wartime presidents.
920
00:52:54,553 --> 00:52:56,087
Very popular.
921
00:52:56,089 --> 00:52:57,857
That they are.
That they are.
922
00:52:58,925 --> 00:53:00,026
So...
923
00:53:02,495 --> 00:53:03,660
Congratulations
924
00:53:03,662 --> 00:53:07,265
on a... successful primary.
925
00:53:07,267 --> 00:53:10,267
I've, uh, been through
a few myself,
926
00:53:10,269 --> 00:53:12,370
and they can be,
shall we say...
927
00:53:12,372 --> 00:53:13,537
Fuckin' exhausting.
928
00:53:13,539 --> 00:53:15,141
Right.
929
00:53:16,374 --> 00:53:17,540
Yeah.
930
00:53:17,542 --> 00:53:19,576
It's a grind.
931
00:53:19,578 --> 00:53:20,678
It's a grind, I'll tell you.
932
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,116
Buses, bologna sandwiches.
933
00:53:24,283 --> 00:53:25,816
Hell, I like people,
but, I mean,
934
00:53:25,818 --> 00:53:27,887
you know,
enough's enough.
935
00:53:31,189 --> 00:53:32,191
So...
936
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,026
that call I received...
937
00:53:35,028 --> 00:53:36,660
I forgot,
you're a brass tacks guy,
938
00:53:36,662 --> 00:53:37,962
aren't ya? I like that.
939
00:53:39,633 --> 00:53:42,232
You surprised
I'm running for president?
940
00:53:42,234 --> 00:53:45,468
He wants
to impress his father
941
00:53:45,470 --> 00:53:46,738
more than anything.
942
00:53:46,740 --> 00:53:50,006
After my, uh,
shall we say, wild years?
943
00:53:50,008 --> 00:53:54,044
Well, George,
I sowed some oats myself
944
00:53:54,046 --> 00:53:55,479
back in the day.
945
00:53:55,481 --> 00:53:59,149
And I still enjoy
a cold beer on occasion.
946
00:53:59,151 --> 00:54:00,618
- I bet you did.
- Mmm.
947
00:54:00,620 --> 00:54:02,319
I bet you did, you rascal.
948
00:54:02,321 --> 00:54:05,421
I can't anymore. It got bad.
949
00:54:05,423 --> 00:54:07,357
Yeah.
950
00:54:07,359 --> 00:54:08,526
Good times.
951
00:54:08,528 --> 00:54:10,163
What does he
really want?
952
00:54:11,296 --> 00:54:12,596
What does he need?
953
00:54:12,598 --> 00:54:14,301
It's tough, I'll tell ya.
954
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:18,468
I lost my first
congressional race,
955
00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:21,073
and it was not good.
956
00:54:23,642 --> 00:54:25,142
How 'bout some brisket?
957
00:54:25,144 --> 00:54:26,280
George, um...
958
00:54:28,647 --> 00:54:31,415
Hey, Theresa! Hey, Theresa!
959
00:54:31,417 --> 00:54:33,283
- Yell up, get some brisket.
- All right, we'll find some.
960
00:54:33,285 --> 00:54:35,486
- Get the burnt ends.
- 'Course.
961
00:54:35,488 --> 00:54:36,857
So listen, I got a...
962
00:54:37,923 --> 00:54:40,225
"lack of experience" problem
in the polls,
963
00:54:40,227 --> 00:54:42,560
and you are one of the most
experienced guys around.
964
00:54:42,562 --> 00:54:45,098
You wanna jump on board,
be my vice?
965
00:54:46,432 --> 00:54:47,432
I'm honored.
966
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,767
Don't be honored, fuckin'
say yes, Mr. Brass Tacks.
967
00:54:50,769 --> 00:54:52,738
Mmm. I have to say, uh, no.
968
00:54:53,539 --> 00:54:55,406
Dick, come on,
we're gonna have a lot of fun.
969
00:54:55,408 --> 00:54:58,743
What are you doin' right now?
You're in the private sector?
970
00:54:58,745 --> 00:55:00,511
Yeah.
971
00:55:00,513 --> 00:55:02,346
Come on,
I know you love politics.
972
00:55:02,348 --> 00:55:03,781
George.
973
00:55:03,783 --> 00:55:06,017
- Let's go.
- Not gonna happen.
974
00:55:06,019 --> 00:55:07,988
Come on now.
975
00:55:09,789 --> 00:55:11,254
Well, that's a shame.
976
00:55:11,256 --> 00:55:12,858
It is.
977
00:55:14,193 --> 00:55:15,896
Perhaps I could, uh...
978
00:55:16,863 --> 00:55:20,131
help you find
the right running mate.
979
00:55:20,133 --> 00:55:21,799
Run my VP search team?
980
00:55:21,801 --> 00:55:24,171
Mmm. No team. Just me.
981
00:55:30,910 --> 00:55:33,044
Yeah, yeah, that could work,
that could...
982
00:55:33,046 --> 00:55:35,881
I have to run it by Rove,
of course, but, uh...
983
00:55:37,517 --> 00:55:38,716
If I lose,
maybe I could become
984
00:55:38,718 --> 00:55:40,551
commissioner of baseball.
985
00:55:40,553 --> 00:55:42,185
You know?
986
00:55:42,187 --> 00:55:44,691
But the, um, idea...
987
00:55:45,658 --> 00:55:47,027
is to win.
988
00:55:49,028 --> 00:55:50,930
I'm gonna keep you
in the back of my mind.
989
00:55:58,037 --> 00:56:01,642
So, are you going to tell me
how it went today or not?
990
00:56:05,211 --> 00:56:06,647
It was very interesting.
991
00:56:07,546 --> 00:56:08,814
He is, uh...
992
00:56:11,617 --> 00:56:12,819
...green.
993
00:56:14,653 --> 00:56:16,055
He's very green.
994
00:56:18,490 --> 00:56:19,925
And you told him "no"?
995
00:56:20,693 --> 00:56:22,026
I, uh...
996
00:56:22,028 --> 00:56:26,133
I told him I would help
with the, uh...
997
00:56:27,834 --> 00:56:29,236
with the search.
998
00:56:43,548 --> 00:56:44,950
What are you thinking?
999
00:56:47,187 --> 00:56:50,057
- I can tell you're thinking.
- Mm-hmm.
1000
00:56:56,629 --> 00:56:58,464
What was
Dick Cheney thinking...
1001
00:56:59,432 --> 00:57:02,033
I'm thinking I've never seen
anything like this.
1002
00:57:02,035 --> 00:57:05,102
...after his first
meeting with George W.?
1003
00:57:05,104 --> 00:57:08,074
We've had
a lot of successes, Dick.
1004
00:57:11,176 --> 00:57:14,879
And the vice president
is a nothing job.
1005
00:57:14,881 --> 00:57:17,951
How many steps ahead
was he looking?
1006
00:57:18,785 --> 00:57:21,319
How did he feel
about the opportunity
1007
00:57:21,321 --> 00:57:22,889
that was in front of him?
1008
00:57:24,057 --> 00:57:27,591
There are certain moments
1009
00:57:27,593 --> 00:57:28,962
so delicate...
1010
00:57:29,995 --> 00:57:33,099
like a teacup and saucer...
1011
00:57:36,303 --> 00:57:39,937
...stacked on a teacup
and saucer
1012
00:57:39,939 --> 00:57:43,240
on a teacup and saucer...
1013
00:57:43,242 --> 00:57:45,010
Can you change,
or am I wasting...
1014
00:57:47,213 --> 00:57:48,848
...and on and on...
1015
00:57:54,988 --> 00:57:58,457
that this moment could fall
in any direction...
1016
00:57:59,591 --> 00:58:02,328
and change everything.
1017
00:58:04,863 --> 00:58:06,830
Sadly, there's no real way
1018
00:58:06,832 --> 00:58:08,767
to know exactly
what was going on
1019
00:58:08,769 --> 00:58:10,133
inside the Cheneys...
1020
00:58:10,135 --> 00:58:12,604
...at this
history-changing moment.
1021
00:58:12,606 --> 00:58:16,540
We can't just snap
into a Shakespearean soliloquy
1022
00:58:16,542 --> 00:58:19,879
that dramatizes every feeling
and motivation.
1023
00:58:20,647 --> 00:58:23,415
That's just not
the way the world works.
1024
00:58:28,988 --> 00:58:31,756
My sweet Richard.
1025
00:58:31,758 --> 00:58:34,892
Dance'd nimbly round
the king's hearth thou hath.
1026
00:58:34,894 --> 00:58:38,629
Even whilst clamored I
for more, more!
1027
00:58:38,631 --> 00:58:40,932
- Mm.
- Parched maw craned towards
1028
00:58:40,934 --> 00:58:44,334
the drip, drip
of imagined waters.
1029
00:58:44,336 --> 00:58:48,471
But I say to you now,
rest, retire.
1030
00:58:48,473 --> 00:58:53,046
Thou hast honored thy vows
to wife and crown.
1031
00:58:54,013 --> 00:58:57,317
Has blindness usurped vision
in you, my wife?
1032
00:59:00,118 --> 00:59:03,088
No mere treaty is our union.
1033
00:59:04,089 --> 00:59:06,890
Thou shared thy torch's flame
with mine.
1034
00:59:06,892 --> 00:59:09,227
Revealing halls
and spires...
1035
00:59:10,397 --> 00:59:12,830
...of long faded empires.
1036
00:59:12,832 --> 00:59:16,767
And now, I may hold aloft
1037
00:59:16,769 --> 00:59:19,338
mine own fiery cresset.
1038
00:59:21,039 --> 00:59:24,577
And make flesh
our bond of power.
1039
00:59:25,877 --> 00:59:27,245
Dare I?
1040
00:59:28,013 --> 00:59:30,747
Dare I let hope's beak
place gathered bramble
1041
00:59:30,749 --> 00:59:33,118
upon my heart
for future's nest?
1042
00:59:33,885 --> 00:59:37,287
Many winters past
hath I let this hope die,
1043
00:59:37,289 --> 00:59:40,991
cruel winds silencing
tiny birds' needy cries.
1044
00:59:40,993 --> 00:59:43,961
Now that it hath arrived,
I say yea.
1045
00:59:43,963 --> 00:59:45,564
Yea.
1046
00:59:46,700 --> 00:59:50,868
Mine own blood and will
are yours
1047
00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:52,069
'til pierced be
1048
00:59:52,071 --> 00:59:54,238
the last soldier's
breastplate,
1049
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,908
spilling forth
its ruby jelly treasures.
1050
01:00:07,787 --> 01:00:09,022
So?
1051
01:00:09,854 --> 01:00:13,193
So I think we, uh, proceed.
1052
01:00:14,426 --> 01:00:15,859
What about Mary?
1053
01:00:15,861 --> 01:00:17,997
Mmm. It's VP.
1054
01:00:19,497 --> 01:00:21,533
Not the same scrutiny.
1055
01:00:22,801 --> 01:00:26,437
No. He has allies, Dick.
Connections.
1056
01:00:26,439 --> 01:00:29,309
You're new to his world.
You don't know the landscape.
1057
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,385
Well, I had better conduct
a very thorough search.
1058
01:00:40,151 --> 01:00:44,089
Every stone,
hell, every grain of sand
1059
01:00:44,890 --> 01:00:46,256
needs to be looked under
for this questionnaire.
1060
01:00:46,258 --> 01:00:49,325
Dick, we're asking
for all financials,
1061
01:00:49,327 --> 01:00:51,162
all medical, all interviews,
1062
01:00:51,164 --> 01:00:53,096
press, writings,
all legal records...
1063
01:00:53,098 --> 01:00:56,401
Sometimes people use LLCs
to hide certain monies.
1064
01:00:56,403 --> 01:00:57,500
And?
1065
01:00:57,502 --> 01:00:58,703
Any more comprehensive
1066
01:00:58,705 --> 01:01:00,404
and we would need
a rubber glove.
1067
01:01:00,406 --> 01:01:01,104
Sorry, Liz.
1068
01:01:01,106 --> 01:01:02,538
That wasn't offensive.
1069
01:01:02,540 --> 01:01:03,841
Should I be offended?
1070
01:01:03,843 --> 01:01:05,176
Well, I'm offended.
1071
01:01:05,178 --> 01:01:06,676
Dave didn't worry
if I'd be offended.
1072
01:01:06,678 --> 01:01:09,279
Oh, a rubber glove,
like a proctology exam.
1073
01:01:09,281 --> 01:01:11,048
That's, that's disgusting.
1074
01:01:11,050 --> 01:01:14,252
Hello? Oh, hello...
1075
01:01:15,220 --> 01:01:17,888
Dad, I'm taking
the cheese off your pizza.
1076
01:01:17,890 --> 01:01:20,089
- Honey?
- Mmm?
1077
01:01:20,091 --> 01:01:21,859
Dave.
1078
01:01:21,861 --> 01:01:22,892
David. Thoughts?
1079
01:01:22,894 --> 01:01:25,464
One. A big one.
1080
01:01:26,499 --> 01:01:29,299
David Addington,
Dick's main legal advisor
1081
01:01:29,301 --> 01:01:32,405
and a huge believer in the
unitary executive theory.
1082
01:01:33,339 --> 01:01:35,671
He was known for
telling people to their face
1083
01:01:35,673 --> 01:01:37,508
that they're stupid.
1084
01:01:37,510 --> 01:01:40,176
So the, uh, vice presidency is
part of the executive branch.
1085
01:01:40,178 --> 01:01:42,412
And because the VP casts
1086
01:01:42,414 --> 01:01:44,281
tie-breaking votes
in the Senate,
1087
01:01:44,283 --> 01:01:47,417
also part of
the legislative branch, right?
1088
01:01:47,419 --> 01:01:48,118
Right.
1089
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,087
That means...
1090
01:01:50,089 --> 01:01:51,990
the VP is also
1091
01:01:51,992 --> 01:01:56,259
not part of the executive
or the legislative.
1092
01:01:56,261 --> 01:01:57,328
So,
1093
01:01:57,330 --> 01:01:59,632
one could argue that, uh...
1094
01:02:00,932 --> 01:02:02,767
neither branch
1095
01:02:02,769 --> 01:02:04,470
has oversight of the VP.
1096
01:02:05,338 --> 01:02:09,008
Not only could one argue that,
I'm arguing it.
1097
01:02:09,809 --> 01:02:11,174
That's brilliant, David.
1098
01:02:11,176 --> 01:02:13,343
I know. Right?
1099
01:02:13,345 --> 01:02:16,779
Karl Rove
wanted me to buy this ranch,
1100
01:02:16,781 --> 01:02:20,283
distance myself from my years
at Yale and Harvard,
1101
01:02:20,285 --> 01:02:22,953
make me more of a man
of the people for the election.
1102
01:02:22,955 --> 01:02:25,290
Mmm. Smart.
1103
01:02:28,660 --> 01:02:31,095
So we gonna do this thing or what?
I mean, is this happening?
1104
01:02:31,097 --> 01:02:37,033
We, uh, have found some
very interesting candidates.
1105
01:02:37,035 --> 01:02:39,035
Um, if we could schedule
1106
01:02:39,037 --> 01:02:42,473
a three-hour window
to get through...
1107
01:02:42,475 --> 01:02:45,111
I meant you.
I want you to be my VP.
1108
01:02:46,144 --> 01:02:48,178
- You're the solution to my problems.
- No.
1109
01:02:48,180 --> 01:02:50,750
I'm CEO of a large company.
1110
01:02:51,984 --> 01:02:55,355
I have been, uh,
Secretary of Defense.
1111
01:02:56,122 --> 01:02:58,355
I have been Chief of Staff.
1112
01:02:58,357 --> 01:03:03,727
Uh, the vice presidency
is mostly a symbolic job.
1113
01:03:03,729 --> 01:03:05,261
Right, right.
1114
01:03:05,263 --> 01:03:07,200
I can see how
that wouldn't be, uh...
1115
01:03:08,968 --> 01:03:10,600
enticing to you.
1116
01:03:10,602 --> 01:03:11,537
However...
1117
01:03:14,339 --> 01:03:19,312
the vice presidency is also
defined by the president.
1118
01:03:20,513 --> 01:03:22,712
And if we were to come
to a, uh...
1119
01:03:23,781 --> 01:03:25,551
...different understanding...
1120
01:03:26,919 --> 01:03:28,521
Uh-huh. Go on.
1121
01:03:29,955 --> 01:03:31,223
I'm listenin'.
1122
01:03:32,658 --> 01:03:37,160
I sense that, uh,
you're a kinetic leader.
1123
01:03:37,162 --> 01:03:40,930
You make decisions
based on instinct.
1124
01:03:40,932 --> 01:03:42,732
I am. People always said that.
1125
01:03:42,734 --> 01:03:44,267
Yeah, yeah. Very different.
1126
01:03:44,269 --> 01:03:46,803
Very different from, uh,
1127
01:03:46,805 --> 01:03:49,341
from your father
in that regard.
1128
01:03:50,176 --> 01:03:52,442
Now, maybe I can, uh,
1129
01:03:52,444 --> 01:03:55,245
handle some of
the more mundane jobs.
1130
01:03:55,247 --> 01:03:58,149
Overseeing bureaucracy,
1131
01:03:58,151 --> 01:04:00,350
managing military,
1132
01:04:00,352 --> 01:04:03,689
uh, energy,
uh, foreign policy.
1133
01:04:09,761 --> 01:04:10,727
That sounds good.
1134
01:04:14,434 --> 01:04:16,667
Never wanna be
the kind of team owner
1135
01:04:16,669 --> 01:04:20,136
that, uh, pulls the starter
in the fourth inning.
1136
01:04:20,138 --> 01:04:22,575
- Mm-hmm.
- That's the manager's job.
1137
01:04:25,176 --> 01:04:26,546
One more thing.
1138
01:04:28,580 --> 01:04:29,816
My daughter, Mary.
1139
01:04:31,350 --> 01:04:33,452
Right. Rove told me
she likes girls.
1140
01:04:34,252 --> 01:04:37,821
Now, I know you have
to, uh, run against, uh,
1141
01:04:37,823 --> 01:04:42,227
gay marriage in the South,
Midwest, and, uh...
1142
01:04:43,361 --> 01:04:45,495
But it's my daughter,
1143
01:04:45,497 --> 01:04:48,932
and that line
is drawn in concrete.
1144
01:04:48,934 --> 01:04:50,901
Don't you say another word.
1145
01:04:50,903 --> 01:04:53,236
So long as you don't mind us
pushing that messaging,
1146
01:04:53,238 --> 01:04:55,205
we're okay with you
sittin' that one out.
1147
01:04:55,207 --> 01:04:57,241
I think it's important
for all the...
1148
01:04:57,243 --> 01:04:58,975
all the Marys
in the world, you know?
1149
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,949
No problemo.
We got a deal?
1150
01:05:04,115 --> 01:05:06,718
Then I believe
this could work.
1151
01:05:07,486 --> 01:05:09,819
Hot damn!
1152
01:05:09,821 --> 01:05:12,457
Yeah. Well, good. Hey...
1153
01:05:13,392 --> 01:05:15,491
- let's celebrate.
- Secretary Cheney visited me and Laura
1154
01:05:15,493 --> 01:05:17,694
at our ranch
in Crawford, Texas...
1155
01:05:17,696 --> 01:05:19,098
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
1156
01:05:20,098 --> 01:05:25,502
I realized the best choice
was standing by my side.
1157
01:05:25,504 --> 01:05:27,303
Please welcome my friend
1158
01:05:27,305 --> 01:05:30,207
and my running mate
Dick Cheney...
1159
01:05:35,414 --> 01:05:37,948
...and his lovely wife Lynne.
1160
01:05:37,950 --> 01:05:39,149
Dick never filled out
1161
01:05:39,151 --> 01:05:41,584
his own
83-question questionnaire.
1162
01:05:41,586 --> 01:05:44,520
Full medical records
were never handed over.
1163
01:05:44,522 --> 01:05:47,924
No tax or corporate filings.
Nothing.
1164
01:05:47,926 --> 01:05:51,227
Cheney! Cheney! Cheney!
1165
01:05:51,229 --> 01:05:52,828
Cheney! Cheney!
1166
01:05:52,830 --> 01:05:54,897
To reach more
of his senior aides
1167
01:05:54,899 --> 01:05:56,265
to find out reasons.
1168
01:05:56,267 --> 01:05:57,600
But we were told
when he came over,
1169
01:05:57,602 --> 01:05:59,069
he had already called
Governor Bush,
1170
01:05:59,071 --> 01:06:00,736
he had wished him well,
and that he would deliver
1171
01:06:00,738 --> 01:06:02,006
a brief concession speech
here tonight.
1172
01:06:02,008 --> 01:06:03,473
I don't know.
1173
01:06:03,475 --> 01:06:04,674
I think
we're all sitting around
1174
01:06:04,676 --> 01:06:06,343
wondering what it is that, uh,
1175
01:06:06,345 --> 01:06:08,511
- he may be doing backstage.
- They just keep going on and on.
1176
01:06:08,513 --> 01:06:10,917
Gore rescinded his concession.
1177
01:06:13,785 --> 01:06:16,990
They're claiming Florida
is too close to call.
1178
01:06:17,856 --> 01:06:21,658
He can't fucking rescind
his concession.
1179
01:06:21,660 --> 01:06:23,259
He just did.
1180
01:06:23,261 --> 01:06:24,428
The Russians are loving this.
1181
01:06:24,430 --> 01:06:27,096
There's gonna be
a recount, so...
1182
01:06:27,098 --> 01:06:28,165
I don't know.
1183
01:06:28,167 --> 01:06:29,369
What should we do?
1184
01:06:30,334 --> 01:06:33,405
We play it
like we've already won.
1185
01:06:34,439 --> 01:06:38,043
Which means we need
to staff the White House.
1186
01:06:39,211 --> 01:06:42,846
All right. Who's leading
the transition team?
1187
01:06:42,848 --> 01:06:43,915
I'll do it.
1188
01:06:45,118 --> 01:06:46,316
That's not something
a vice president
1189
01:06:46,318 --> 01:06:47,618
really does, is it?
1190
01:06:47,620 --> 01:06:48,521
Uh-huh.
1191
01:06:49,620 --> 01:06:50,955
- It is now.
- Vice President Gore
1192
01:06:50,957 --> 01:06:52,990
has called Governor Bush
1193
01:06:52,992 --> 01:06:55,625
and retracted his concession,
1194
01:06:55,627 --> 01:06:57,794
because he is now...
1195
01:06:57,796 --> 01:06:59,596
- What?
- ...of the mind that things could be turning
1196
01:06:59,598 --> 01:07:01,163
yet again in Florida.
1197
01:07:01,165 --> 01:07:03,033
You can't do that!
1198
01:07:03,035 --> 01:07:04,904
I mean, that's laughable.
1199
01:07:06,472 --> 01:07:08,473
Uh, Wolfowitz.
1200
01:07:09,908 --> 01:07:11,341
- State...
- Mmm.
1201
01:07:11,343 --> 01:07:12,808
...or Pentagon?
1202
01:07:12,810 --> 01:07:15,312
Depends on who your
Secretary of Defense is.
1203
01:07:15,314 --> 01:07:16,479
- Rummy.
- Hundred percent.
1204
01:07:16,481 --> 01:07:18,314
- Mm-hmm.
- Rumsfeld?
1205
01:07:18,316 --> 01:07:20,551
Uh, doesn't Bush Senior
hate Rummy?
1206
01:07:20,553 --> 01:07:21,951
Not such a bad thing with W.
1207
01:07:21,953 --> 01:07:24,220
He wants to be his own man.
1208
01:07:24,222 --> 01:07:26,423
Rumsfeld believes
in a robust executive.
1209
01:07:26,425 --> 01:07:28,024
That's good for us
on war powers.
1210
01:07:28,026 --> 01:07:30,593
Just keep him out of State,
he'll start World War III.
1211
01:07:30,595 --> 01:07:32,662
Look.
1212
01:07:32,664 --> 01:07:37,334
Halliburton just gave us
a $26 million exit package.
1213
01:07:37,336 --> 01:07:39,904
Twice what we expected.
1214
01:07:39,906 --> 01:07:41,074
They're no dummies.
1215
01:07:43,274 --> 01:07:45,477
Uh, sorry, gang.
1216
01:07:46,845 --> 01:07:48,078
Yep.
1217
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:51,950
Think, uh, perhaps
I should go to the hospital.
1218
01:07:53,618 --> 01:07:56,053
Oh, my God. Are you
kidding me? Oh, come on.
1219
01:07:56,055 --> 01:07:59,455
Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!
1220
01:07:59,457 --> 01:08:01,725
All persons having business
with the Honorable,
1221
01:08:01,727 --> 01:08:03,259
the Supreme Court
of the United States
1222
01:08:03,261 --> 01:08:06,330
are admonished to draw near
and give their attention,
1223
01:08:06,332 --> 01:08:08,365
for the Court is now sitting.
1224
01:08:08,367 --> 01:08:10,334
God bless
the United States and...
1225
01:08:10,336 --> 01:08:15,171
December 12th, 2000.
Antonin Scalia, remember him,
1226
01:08:15,173 --> 01:08:18,075
and the Supreme Court stopped
the state of Florida
1227
01:08:18,077 --> 01:08:19,375
from completing their recount.
1228
01:08:19,377 --> 01:08:21,377
God save the United States
1229
01:08:21,379 --> 01:08:23,747
- and this Honorable Court.
- George W. Bush and Dick Cheney
1230
01:08:23,749 --> 01:08:28,087
were going to the White House
by a margin of 537 votes.
1231
01:09:13,833 --> 01:09:15,932
Hey. Hey, little Mary Claire.
1232
01:09:15,934 --> 01:09:18,337
Hey, little Mary.
My little Mary.
1233
01:09:19,238 --> 01:09:22,941
Hey, what are you doing?
What are you doing? Hmm?
1234
01:09:26,979 --> 01:09:29,379
Oh, they're both doing
really well.
1235
01:09:29,381 --> 01:09:31,281
Except, I'm trying
to make this dinner.
1236
01:09:31,283 --> 01:09:33,216
And it's, uh...
1237
01:09:33,218 --> 01:09:36,018
it's this macaroni and cheese
1238
01:09:36,020 --> 01:09:37,621
that you said was easy
1239
01:09:37,623 --> 01:09:40,924
but it keeps just coming out
like a little watery.
1240
01:09:40,926 --> 01:09:42,725
It's the milk.
Remember?
1241
01:09:42,727 --> 01:09:44,327
You gotta add more milk.
1242
01:09:44,329 --> 01:09:46,799
Yeah. It'll get thicker.
1243
01:09:47,999 --> 01:09:49,233
No, no, no, no.
1244
01:09:49,235 --> 01:09:51,768
I am. It's much better
when you use the milk.
1245
01:09:51,770 --> 01:09:52,868
There's just so much,
1246
01:09:52,870 --> 01:09:54,670
so much I want
to say right now,
1247
01:09:54,672 --> 01:09:56,572
and just, you keep doing
what you're doing.
1248
01:09:56,574 --> 01:09:58,610
You're doing so great.
1249
01:10:01,178 --> 01:10:04,415
You have earned something
very special from your wife.
1250
01:10:04,417 --> 01:10:05,950
Listen, listen, listen.
1251
01:10:06,886 --> 01:10:10,153
I'm buying wine,
and I'm picking something up.
1252
01:10:10,155 --> 01:10:11,591
Chinese?
1253
01:10:12,923 --> 01:10:15,595
Okay,
I really love you.
1254
01:10:17,162 --> 01:10:18,495
I love you.
1255
01:10:18,497 --> 01:10:21,033
Yeah.
1256
01:10:29,708 --> 01:10:31,041
Good morning
to you too.
1257
01:10:31,043 --> 01:10:32,274
We've met a few times.
1258
01:10:32,276 --> 01:10:33,410
- It's nice to see you.
- Yes.
1259
01:10:33,412 --> 01:10:34,478
Of course.
1260
01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:35,711
All right. Let's...
1261
01:10:35,713 --> 01:10:37,546
All right.
Let's get this thing underway.
1262
01:10:37,548 --> 01:10:39,582
Scooter, why don't you
let everyone know
1263
01:10:39,584 --> 01:10:41,018
the, um, lay of the land?
1264
01:10:41,020 --> 01:10:42,585
Of course.
As you all know,
1265
01:10:42,587 --> 01:10:44,254
I am Scooter Libby,
1266
01:10:44,256 --> 01:10:46,089
Dick's Chief of Staff.
1267
01:10:46,091 --> 01:10:49,192
Uh, I'm also his
national security advisor
1268
01:10:49,194 --> 01:10:51,327
and a special advisor
to the president.
1269
01:10:51,329 --> 01:10:54,898
Technically, Scooter outranks
any of Bush's people.
1270
01:10:54,900 --> 01:10:59,102
Mary Matalin will serve
as counselor to the VP
1271
01:10:59,104 --> 01:11:00,269
and assistant to Bush.
1272
01:11:00,271 --> 01:11:02,139
David Addington,
1273
01:11:02,141 --> 01:11:03,540
Dick's main legal counsel,
1274
01:11:03,542 --> 01:11:05,642
will play center field
on all matters
1275
01:11:05,644 --> 01:11:07,944
relating to executive power.
1276
01:11:07,946 --> 01:11:11,648
The president
has Alberto Gonzales,
1277
01:11:11,650 --> 01:11:13,416
Karl Rove,
1278
01:11:13,418 --> 01:11:16,719
Karen Hughes as his team.
1279
01:11:16,721 --> 01:11:19,288
Quite frankly,
Gonzales has no clue.
1280
01:11:19,290 --> 01:11:21,726
Um... Rove is a hack.
1281
01:11:22,727 --> 01:11:25,027
Hughes should be
in double-A ball.
1282
01:11:25,029 --> 01:11:28,764
So we will have
fairly unobstructed access
1283
01:11:28,766 --> 01:11:30,302
to the Oval Office.
1284
01:11:31,302 --> 01:11:33,135
We will be automatically
1285
01:11:33,137 --> 01:11:35,604
Bcc'd on all e-mails
1286
01:11:35,606 --> 01:11:37,441
that the president receives
or sends,
1287
01:11:37,443 --> 01:11:40,210
as well as have access
to his schedule
1288
01:11:40,212 --> 01:11:43,447
the second that it is set
or changed.
1289
01:11:43,449 --> 01:11:45,048
And we will
also be receiving
1290
01:11:45,050 --> 01:11:48,151
the daily intelligence briefing
before the president.
1291
01:11:48,153 --> 01:11:50,754
That gets us inside
the decision curve.
1292
01:11:50,756 --> 01:11:52,925
Which we'll actually
be reading.
1293
01:11:53,691 --> 01:11:55,459
Bush approved all of this?
1294
01:11:55,461 --> 01:11:57,296
Mmm, we have, uh,
1295
01:11:58,329 --> 01:11:59,563
an understanding.
1296
01:11:59,565 --> 01:12:00,863
What about the e-mails?
1297
01:12:00,865 --> 01:12:02,599
Paper shredders
don't work for e-mails.
1298
01:12:02,601 --> 01:12:04,600
The entire administration
will run off
1299
01:12:04,602 --> 01:12:06,502
the RNC's private server.
1300
01:12:06,504 --> 01:12:09,371
And we've deactivated
automatic archiving.
1301
01:12:09,373 --> 01:12:10,309
We're clean.
1302
01:12:11,443 --> 01:12:12,809
Okay.
1303
01:12:12,811 --> 01:12:14,643
So over at the Pentagon,
we got Don,
1304
01:12:14,645 --> 01:12:15,812
- Secretary of Defense.
- Mm-hmm.
1305
01:12:15,814 --> 01:12:17,546
Paul Wolfowitz,
1306
01:12:17,548 --> 01:12:19,849
who worked with Team B
in the Ford days,
1307
01:12:19,851 --> 01:12:21,852
Deputy Secretary of Defense.
1308
01:12:21,854 --> 01:12:22,786
Let's check,
1309
01:12:22,788 --> 01:12:25,388
see what plans
1310
01:12:25,390 --> 01:12:26,889
they had
to invade Iraq.
1311
01:12:26,891 --> 01:12:28,558
It's already in the works.
1312
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:30,960
Got Ashcroft over at the DOJ.
1313
01:12:30,962 --> 01:12:33,863
State seems to be
the only tricky department.
1314
01:12:33,865 --> 01:12:37,100
That's Colin Powell,
his guy Lawrence Wilkerson.
1315
01:12:37,102 --> 01:12:39,402
Colin Powell, who never met
a camera he didn't like.
1316
01:12:39,404 --> 01:12:40,769
Wilkerson's a true believer.
1317
01:12:40,771 --> 01:12:42,038
We've got Bolton
over there.
1318
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,874
He's a loose cannon,
but he's loyal.
1319
01:12:43,876 --> 01:12:46,475
Mmm. I wanna get Liz
in there as well.
1320
01:12:46,477 --> 01:12:47,810
Let's make sure that happens.
1321
01:12:47,812 --> 01:12:49,679
- Okay, Dad.
- Consider it done.
1322
01:12:49,681 --> 01:12:53,515
And this list of,
uh, our people
1323
01:12:53,517 --> 01:12:55,852
does not include
about 800 others,
1324
01:12:55,854 --> 01:12:58,587
uh, lobbyists,
industry insiders
1325
01:12:58,589 --> 01:13:01,558
that we placed
in the regulatory jobs.
1326
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:02,759
What about Bush's friends?
1327
01:13:02,761 --> 01:13:04,393
Ridge? Pataki? Thompson?
1328
01:13:04,395 --> 01:13:05,728
I haven't heard their names.
1329
01:13:05,730 --> 01:13:08,298
They were not,
um, offered jobs
1330
01:13:08,300 --> 01:13:10,966
in this administration,
uh, at this time.
1331
01:13:10,968 --> 01:13:12,969
Not offered jobs
at this time?
1332
01:13:12,971 --> 01:13:15,973
Are you even more ruthless than
you used to be there, Dick?
1333
01:13:15,975 --> 01:13:17,977
Or are you just
not getting laid?
1334
01:13:23,515 --> 01:13:24,746
All right, moving on.
1335
01:13:24,748 --> 01:13:26,718
Um, got Paul O'Neill.
1336
01:13:30,989 --> 01:13:34,291
You haven't been here
in over twenty years.
1337
01:13:34,293 --> 01:13:35,491
Times have changed.
1338
01:13:35,493 --> 01:13:37,693
The, uh, softer touch,
1339
01:13:37,695 --> 01:13:39,563
that's the norm now.
1340
01:13:39,565 --> 01:13:43,066
We have the conservative
TV and radio
1341
01:13:43,068 --> 01:13:45,404
- doing the yelling for us.
- Mm-hmm.
1342
01:13:46,204 --> 01:13:47,903
Is your old friend
embarrassing you?
1343
01:13:47,905 --> 01:13:49,171
Is that it, Dick?
1344
01:13:52,409 --> 01:13:55,211
Soft touch. That's all.
1345
01:13:55,213 --> 01:13:56,845
All right,
I have to go to my office
1346
01:13:56,847 --> 01:13:57,848
at the
House of Representatives.
1347
01:13:57,850 --> 01:13:59,182
You mean the Senate?
1348
01:13:59,184 --> 01:14:01,287
Vice president,
tiebreaker in the Senate.
1349
01:14:02,454 --> 01:14:04,589
Nope, I mean the House.
1350
01:14:05,356 --> 01:14:07,624
Dick Cheney had used
an old connection
1351
01:14:07,626 --> 01:14:09,059
with former wrestling coach
1352
01:14:09,061 --> 01:14:11,493
and Speaker of the House
Dennis Hastert
1353
01:14:11,495 --> 01:14:13,697
to get an office at the
House of Representatives.
1354
01:14:13,699 --> 01:14:16,099
The House is where
revenue bills originate,
1355
01:14:16,101 --> 01:14:18,669
and he wanted to be
near the money faucet.
1356
01:14:18,671 --> 01:14:21,140
Hey, Dick.
Will this work for you?
1357
01:14:22,841 --> 01:14:24,776
Two more offices
in the Senate.
1358
01:14:25,578 --> 01:14:27,977
Hey, Dick,
I found this extra office.
1359
01:14:27,979 --> 01:14:29,446
I hope it works for you.
1360
01:14:29,448 --> 01:14:31,046
And one in the Pentagon.
1361
01:14:31,048 --> 01:14:34,149
Welcome to your new home
away from home.
1362
01:14:34,151 --> 01:14:37,286
I got you
a little housewarming gift.
1363
01:14:37,288 --> 01:14:39,855
And later, when Cheney
needed intelligence
1364
01:14:39,857 --> 01:14:41,224
to invade Iraq,
1365
01:14:41,226 --> 01:14:43,026
a conference room at the CIA.
1366
01:14:43,028 --> 01:14:45,830
This room is soundproof
and secure.
1367
01:14:47,031 --> 01:14:49,465
Cheney was everywhere.
1368
01:14:49,467 --> 01:14:51,701
But the most powerful place
in all of D.C.
1369
01:14:51,703 --> 01:14:54,603
was a nondescript
conference room
1370
01:14:54,605 --> 01:14:56,038
at a relatively new think tank
1371
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,875
called Americans
for Tax Reform.
1372
01:14:58,877 --> 01:15:01,911
Grover Norquist ran
the anti-tax group
1373
01:15:01,913 --> 01:15:04,546
with huge funding from
the Koch brothers network,
1374
01:15:04,548 --> 01:15:07,118
big oil, and big tobacco.
1375
01:15:07,985 --> 01:15:09,419
His "Wednesday meeting,"
1376
01:15:09,421 --> 01:15:13,023
as it was called,
had become the center
1377
01:15:13,025 --> 01:15:14,659
of the Republican world.
1378
01:15:15,459 --> 01:15:19,798
Let's go ahead and start
with the estate tax.
1379
01:15:20,665 --> 01:15:22,733
Now, this has been hard
to eliminate,
1380
01:15:22,735 --> 01:15:25,768
because the tax only
affects those estates
1381
01:15:25,770 --> 01:15:27,571
worth over two million.
1382
01:15:27,573 --> 01:15:30,072
But we've made strides,
1383
01:15:30,074 --> 01:15:33,311
and marketing guru Frank Luntz
is here to help.
1384
01:15:39,383 --> 01:15:40,649
Hello, all.
1385
01:15:41,919 --> 01:15:44,787
Getting regular people
to support cutting taxes
1386
01:15:44,789 --> 01:15:45,956
on the very wealthy
1387
01:15:45,958 --> 01:15:48,090
has always been
extremely hard.
1388
01:15:48,092 --> 01:15:51,094
We've had some success
in the past,
1389
01:15:51,096 --> 01:15:54,066
but the estate tax has
always been very difficult.
1390
01:15:55,167 --> 01:15:56,235
However...
1391
01:15:57,101 --> 01:15:59,204
I think we may have had
a breakthrough.
1392
01:16:00,104 --> 01:16:03,473
Now, the estate tax kicks in
1393
01:16:03,475 --> 01:16:07,810
on anyone inheriting
over two million dollars.
1394
01:16:07,812 --> 01:16:09,882
How many of you have
a problem with that?
1395
01:16:10,982 --> 01:16:12,849
Okay. How many
of you would have
1396
01:16:12,851 --> 01:16:14,751
a problem
with something called
1397
01:16:14,753 --> 01:16:16,522
a death tax?
1398
01:16:21,159 --> 01:16:24,126
Instead of global warming,
1399
01:16:24,128 --> 01:16:26,929
which we all agree
sounds very scary...
1400
01:16:28,967 --> 01:16:31,000
we call it
1401
01:16:31,002 --> 01:16:32,702
climate change.
1402
01:16:32,704 --> 01:16:33,902
Folks, the government
1403
01:16:33,904 --> 01:16:36,038
is taking your money
after you die.
1404
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:37,340
Now,
we all know the Democrats
1405
01:16:37,342 --> 01:16:38,908
despise tax cuts,
especially for the rich.
1406
01:16:38,910 --> 01:16:40,577
I want somebody to get rid
1407
01:16:40,579 --> 01:16:42,211
of the death tax,
that's what I want.
1408
01:16:42,213 --> 01:16:43,679
I don't want to get taxed
just 'cause I die.
1409
01:16:43,681 --> 01:16:45,415
I mean, give me a break!
1410
01:16:45,417 --> 01:16:47,049
If I give something to my
kid, I already paid the tax.
1411
01:16:47,051 --> 01:16:48,283
Why I gotta pay again
'cause I died?
1412
01:16:48,285 --> 01:16:49,752
It's like being chastised!
I hate it.
1413
01:16:49,754 --> 01:16:51,587
The death tax has to go.
1414
01:16:51,589 --> 01:16:54,055
The elite liberals
in Washington would tax us
1415
01:16:54,057 --> 01:16:56,026
for laughing or crying
if they could.
1416
01:16:56,028 --> 01:16:58,461
So, with one
of the biggest media
1417
01:16:58,463 --> 01:17:01,867
and political machines
ever created behind him,
1418
01:17:02,735 --> 01:17:06,769
Cheney was able to squash
action on global warming,
1419
01:17:06,771 --> 01:17:08,438
cut taxes for the super rich,
1420
01:17:08,440 --> 01:17:11,774
and gut regulations
for massive corporations.
1421
01:17:11,776 --> 01:17:13,076
And then there was Cheney's
1422
01:17:13,078 --> 01:17:15,745
National Energy Policy
Development Group.
1423
01:17:15,747 --> 01:17:20,050
His first major test
to expand executive power.
1424
01:17:20,052 --> 01:17:22,184
I don't understand
what the goddamn problem is.
1425
01:17:22,186 --> 01:17:23,920
I want to hear
what the energy CEOs need,
1426
01:17:23,922 --> 01:17:25,287
and I'm not allowed to?
1427
01:17:25,289 --> 01:17:27,189
- It's called FACA.
- The hell is FACA?
1428
01:17:27,191 --> 01:17:29,059
It's the Federal
Advisory Committees Act.
1429
01:17:29,061 --> 01:17:31,694
Congress got their panties
in a bunch that, you know,
1430
01:17:31,696 --> 01:17:34,863
elected officials would
just let CEOs roll in
1431
01:17:34,865 --> 01:17:37,002
and, you know, write the laws.
1432
01:17:38,837 --> 01:17:40,469
The act demands that, uh,
1433
01:17:40,471 --> 01:17:44,875
appropriate government employees
be present.
1434
01:17:44,877 --> 01:17:46,512
Hold on a second.
1435
01:17:47,979 --> 01:17:49,114
What's your name?
1436
01:17:49,913 --> 01:17:51,548
Doug.
1437
01:17:51,550 --> 01:17:54,149
Doug, how long have you
been working reception
1438
01:17:54,151 --> 01:17:55,654
at the Department of Energy?
1439
01:17:56,887 --> 01:17:58,754
Three months.
1440
01:17:58,756 --> 01:17:59,992
Perfect.
1441
01:18:03,262 --> 01:18:05,694
So what am I supposed
to do here?
1442
01:18:05,696 --> 01:18:07,997
Just sit there
and be quiet.
1443
01:18:07,999 --> 01:18:09,267
Got it.
1444
01:18:13,137 --> 01:18:15,540
- Gentlemen.
- Hello.
1445
01:18:16,842 --> 01:18:18,675
Hello...
1446
01:18:20,878 --> 01:18:22,178
How's your business
at...
1447
01:18:22,180 --> 01:18:25,948
- We're good.
- Our stock...
1448
01:18:25,950 --> 01:18:28,984
And California
has been really...
1449
01:18:28,986 --> 01:18:30,622
- since deregulation.
- Great to hear.
1450
01:18:31,522 --> 01:18:34,791
Oh. He's with
the energy department.
1451
01:18:38,163 --> 01:18:40,063
The details
of Cheney's meetings
1452
01:18:40,065 --> 01:18:43,532
with the energy CEOs
were never disclosed.
1453
01:18:43,534 --> 01:18:46,102
But a Freedom
of Information request
1454
01:18:46,104 --> 01:18:48,103
did provide some documents,
1455
01:18:48,105 --> 01:18:50,372
including a map
of Iraq's oil fields
1456
01:18:50,374 --> 01:18:52,041
with all of the oil companies
1457
01:18:52,043 --> 01:18:54,643
that would be interested
in acquiring them
1458
01:18:54,645 --> 01:18:59,017
if somehow they were ever
to become available.
1459
01:19:01,820 --> 01:19:04,821
And then, it happened.
1460
01:19:04,823 --> 01:19:07,791
Would you like to lower
your monthly mortgage payments
1461
01:19:07,793 --> 01:19:10,160
or use the equity in your home
to consolidate
1462
01:19:10,162 --> 01:19:11,960
your credit card
or other debts?
1463
01:19:11,962 --> 01:19:13,162
Just log...
1464
01:19:13,164 --> 01:19:14,430
Yeah.
This just in.
1465
01:19:14,432 --> 01:19:16,032
You are looking at obviously
1466
01:19:16,034 --> 01:19:17,634
a very disturbing
live shot there.
1467
01:19:17,636 --> 01:19:19,202
That is
the World Trade Center,
1468
01:19:19,204 --> 01:19:21,837
and we have unconfirmed
reports this morning
1469
01:19:21,839 --> 01:19:25,276
that a plane has crashed
into one of the towers.
1470
01:19:26,043 --> 01:19:27,710
It... it does not appear
1471
01:19:27,712 --> 01:19:29,845
that there's any kind
of an effort up there yet.
1472
01:19:29,847 --> 01:19:31,447
Now, remember... Oh, my God.
1473
01:19:31,449 --> 01:19:33,349
- Oh, God!
- Dear God.
1474
01:19:33,351 --> 01:19:34,751
That looks
like a second plane.
1475
01:19:34,753 --> 01:19:36,385
Mr. Vice President,
we have information
1476
01:19:36,387 --> 01:19:38,121
that a plane's headed to
the White House this moment.
1477
01:19:38,123 --> 01:19:40,121
We have less than a minute to get
to the secure underground bunker.
1478
01:19:40,123 --> 01:19:42,093
Let's go! Move!
1479
01:19:43,328 --> 01:19:44,260
Move!
1480
01:19:44,262 --> 01:19:45,260
Move! It's clear!
1481
01:19:45,262 --> 01:19:47,163
Sir, this way. Right now.
1482
01:19:47,165 --> 01:19:48,863
Capitol is being
evacuated, we're told,
1483
01:19:48,865 --> 01:19:52,001
and clearly that shot that
we have on our screen now,
1484
01:19:52,003 --> 01:19:53,435
this is the Pentagon
1485
01:19:53,437 --> 01:19:56,105
just across the river
from Washington, D.C.
1486
01:19:56,107 --> 01:19:57,174
You got to believe...
1487
01:19:57,176 --> 01:19:58,742
I need you
to take me to Dick.
1488
01:19:58,744 --> 01:20:01,678
Mrs. Cheney, we cannot
go back to the White House,
1489
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,011
I am being told no one...
1490
01:20:03,013 --> 01:20:04,580
Either you take me
to the White House...
1491
01:20:13,490 --> 01:20:16,560
Author is on the move.
Coming out.
1492
01:20:17,529 --> 01:20:20,496
...the Twin
Towers of the World Trade Center.
1493
01:20:20,498 --> 01:20:22,599
Have you gotten
the Prime Minister yet?
1494
01:20:22,601 --> 01:20:24,568
...headed directly
into the World Trade Center.
1495
01:20:24,570 --> 01:20:26,169
It just flew into it.
1496
01:20:26,171 --> 01:20:28,103
Canada's Prime Minister
is on the phone.
1497
01:20:28,105 --> 01:20:29,438
That's right,
we got planes in the air
1498
01:20:29,440 --> 01:20:31,040
and nowhere for them to land.
1499
01:20:31,042 --> 01:20:34,042
Permission for them
to land at Canadian airports,
1500
01:20:34,044 --> 01:20:35,511
international flights
into Newfoundland.
1501
01:20:35,513 --> 01:20:37,447
I still have one plane
unaccounted for
1502
01:20:37,449 --> 01:20:38,514
flying over Pennsylvania.
1503
01:20:38,516 --> 01:20:39,616
Sir, Donald Rumsfeld
1504
01:20:39,618 --> 01:20:40,884
is at the Pentagon
on line three.
1505
01:20:40,886 --> 01:20:42,117
- That?
- Mm-hmm.
1506
01:20:42,119 --> 01:20:43,354
Yes, sir.
1507
01:20:44,556 --> 01:20:46,755
You have authorization
1508
01:20:46,757 --> 01:20:49,258
to shoot down any aircraft
1509
01:20:49,260 --> 01:20:51,060
deemed a threat.
1510
01:20:51,062 --> 01:20:52,795
Presidential authority?
1511
01:20:52,797 --> 01:20:53,862
That is correct.
1512
01:20:53,864 --> 01:20:55,697
All orders are UNODIR.
1513
01:20:55,699 --> 01:20:56,631
"UNODIR", sir?
1514
01:20:56,633 --> 01:20:58,468
Unless otherwise directed.
1515
01:20:58,470 --> 01:21:00,402
Mr. Vice President,
are we sure these are
1516
01:21:00,404 --> 01:21:02,438
the proper rules of engagement?
1517
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:04,740
The country's under attack,
the ROE is fluid.
1518
01:21:04,742 --> 01:21:07,242
- David... Addington, David.
- Yes, sir.
1519
01:21:07,244 --> 01:21:08,745
Now,
we don't know exactly
1520
01:21:08,747 --> 01:21:11,380
what the people
in that room were thinking.
1521
01:21:11,382 --> 01:21:13,483
But it's safe to assume
1522
01:21:13,485 --> 01:21:16,786
that at least one person
wondered why
1523
01:21:16,788 --> 01:21:18,920
in the midst
of the most fateful day
1524
01:21:18,922 --> 01:21:20,689
in American history
1525
01:21:20,691 --> 01:21:23,727
was Dick Cheney
talking to his lawyer.
1526
01:21:23,729 --> 01:21:25,428
And, um, what, um...
1527
01:21:25,430 --> 01:21:27,997
- Mr. Vice President?
- ...authority will he need?
1528
01:21:27,999 --> 01:21:29,366
So, start working on...
1529
01:21:29,368 --> 01:21:30,535
Mr. Vice President?
1530
01:21:31,570 --> 01:21:33,236
The congressional members
you sent
1531
01:21:33,238 --> 01:21:34,903
to Mount Weather
Emergency Operations Center
1532
01:21:34,905 --> 01:21:37,072
- wanna leave.
- Nope.
1533
01:21:37,074 --> 01:21:38,407
Excuse me?
1534
01:21:38,409 --> 01:21:40,443
They're not going anywhere.
1535
01:21:40,445 --> 01:21:44,650
Just, uh, tell them, um,
we have all the helicopters.
1536
01:21:45,816 --> 01:21:46,918
Yes, sir.
1537
01:21:48,052 --> 01:21:49,352
I'm sorry,
that is a negative.
1538
01:21:49,354 --> 01:21:51,453
They are to remain
where they are.
1539
01:21:51,455 --> 01:21:53,689
There's no helicopters
available for evac.
1540
01:21:53,691 --> 01:21:55,491
That is correct.
1541
01:21:55,493 --> 01:21:58,263
If you would be so kind
to relay that information.
1542
01:22:00,864 --> 01:22:01,899
Are we at war?
1543
01:22:03,135 --> 01:22:04,767
Yes, we are.
1544
01:22:04,769 --> 01:22:06,135
With whom?
1545
01:22:18,550 --> 01:22:19,916
Depot street.
1546
01:22:19,918 --> 01:22:21,250
Truck pulling in
across from Depot Street.
1547
01:22:27,258 --> 01:22:30,193
Unit 9-3.
0-3-15 negative.
1548
01:22:33,230 --> 01:22:35,697
1-5-2-7, Brian.
1549
01:22:35,699 --> 01:22:37,066
God damn it.
1550
01:22:37,068 --> 01:22:38,367
We picked up chatter
1551
01:22:38,369 --> 01:22:40,536
from well-known
Al-Qaeda operatives
1552
01:22:40,538 --> 01:22:42,304
celebrating today's attack.
1553
01:22:42,306 --> 01:22:43,605
We shouldn't rule out Iraq.
1554
01:22:43,607 --> 01:22:45,608
But what's
Al-Qaeda's leader's name?
1555
01:22:45,610 --> 01:22:47,844
His name is Osama bin Laden.
1556
01:22:47,846 --> 01:22:49,511
But this is clearly Al-Qaeda.
1557
01:22:49,513 --> 01:22:51,648
I've been tracking
their movements for years.
1558
01:22:51,650 --> 01:22:53,182
Their fingerprints
are all over this.
1559
01:22:53,184 --> 01:22:55,253
Iraq has all the good targets.
1560
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:57,487
Iraq has nothing
to do with this, Don.
1561
01:22:57,489 --> 01:22:59,221
Richard,
you don't know that for sure.
1562
01:22:59,223 --> 01:23:00,589
I do know that.
1563
01:23:00,591 --> 01:23:01,791
Mr. President, if I may.
1564
01:23:02,827 --> 01:23:05,862
Afghanistan is
Al-Qaeda's headquarters.
1565
01:23:05,864 --> 01:23:07,429
- That is where our focus should be.
- Yeah.
1566
01:23:07,431 --> 01:23:10,633
And the CIA would
be capable of taking out
1567
01:23:10,635 --> 01:23:12,135
the Taliban's power structure.
1568
01:23:12,137 --> 01:23:14,202
Yeah.
All due respect, George,
1569
01:23:14,204 --> 01:23:15,138
Mr. President...
1570
01:23:15,140 --> 01:23:17,105
we are the Pentagon,
1571
01:23:17,107 --> 01:23:18,840
and this is what we do.
1572
01:23:18,842 --> 01:23:20,011
Don.
1573
01:23:31,056 --> 01:23:35,191
Okay. We'll, uh, we'll go
with Tenet and the CIA.
1574
01:23:35,193 --> 01:23:37,425
I'll make some calls
to our allies.
1575
01:23:37,427 --> 01:23:38,426
Thank you, sir.
1576
01:23:41,665 --> 01:23:45,768
I think, uh, given the current
situation, Mr. President,
1577
01:23:45,770 --> 01:23:49,505
it is wise that we not be
in the same location
1578
01:23:49,507 --> 01:23:53,209
for COG,
Continuity of Government.
1579
01:23:53,211 --> 01:23:55,512
Of course.
1580
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,382
We gonna be all right
on this, aren't we?
1581
01:23:59,417 --> 01:24:02,754
Yes, sir. Yes, we are.
1582
01:24:06,257 --> 01:24:09,024
Angler has taken
off to an undisclosed location.
1583
01:24:09,026 --> 01:24:10,760
I repeat, Angler is airborne.
1584
01:24:10,762 --> 01:24:12,929
Angler? That's the VP?
1585
01:24:12,931 --> 01:24:14,563
I thought only
the president could land
1586
01:24:14,565 --> 01:24:16,398
and take off
from the south lawn.
1587
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:17,834
What can I tell you?
1588
01:24:17,836 --> 01:24:19,070
Today's fucked.
1589
01:24:43,461 --> 01:24:46,662
This intelligence
has been edited,
1590
01:24:46,664 --> 01:24:49,299
redacted, and reduced.
1591
01:24:49,301 --> 01:24:51,300
Mr. Vice President,
usually we vet
1592
01:24:51,302 --> 01:24:52,702
the daily intelligence
threat matrix
1593
01:24:52,704 --> 01:24:54,937
to eliminate unreliable
sources, non-players...
1594
01:24:54,939 --> 01:24:59,945
Stop. Don't you dare give me
a damn disquisition...
1595
01:25:00,945 --> 01:25:02,444
on what I cannot hear.
1596
01:25:02,446 --> 01:25:04,447
Mr. Vice President,
1597
01:25:04,449 --> 01:25:06,051
a lot of this intelligence
is not verified.
1598
01:25:07,452 --> 01:25:08,751
I'm gonna say this
for the last time.
1599
01:25:08,753 --> 01:25:09,751
I want to hear everything
1600
01:25:09,753 --> 01:25:12,453
every day, from now on.
1601
01:25:12,455 --> 01:25:13,689
Yes, sir.
1602
01:25:13,691 --> 01:25:15,991
Proceed.
1603
01:25:15,993 --> 01:25:18,393
We're tracking
the possibility of bio-attacks
1604
01:25:18,395 --> 01:25:21,830
using Sarin gas,
cowpox, Ebola.
1605
01:25:21,832 --> 01:25:24,736
There was a post
on a dark website
1606
01:25:25,869 --> 01:25:28,504
about mass beheadings
in residential areas.
1607
01:25:28,506 --> 01:25:29,904
Movie studios, museums,
1608
01:25:29,906 --> 01:25:33,175
subways, daycare centers
may all be targets.
1609
01:25:33,177 --> 01:25:34,477
A source has told an asset
1610
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,511
about fire-bombs
targeting hospitals.
1611
01:25:36,513 --> 01:25:37,813
A video was captured
1612
01:25:37,815 --> 01:25:39,782
describing televised executions
1613
01:25:39,784 --> 01:25:41,818
interrupting
American network TV.
1614
01:25:41,820 --> 01:25:43,652
Sporting
events, tourist attractions,
1615
01:25:43,654 --> 01:25:45,187
New Year's celebrations,
religious ceremonies,
1616
01:25:45,189 --> 01:25:46,955
are all hard targets.
1617
01:25:46,957 --> 01:25:48,491
Machine-gun
attacks at high-profile...
1618
01:25:48,493 --> 01:25:49,992
Biological agents inside...
1619
01:25:49,994 --> 01:25:51,492
Coordinated fire-bombings
1620
01:25:51,494 --> 01:25:53,295
of commuter trains
across North America.
1621
01:25:53,297 --> 01:25:55,430
Water filtration
plants targeted with bio-weapons
1622
01:25:55,432 --> 01:25:56,532
and killing a million people.
1623
01:25:56,534 --> 01:25:57,933
A briefcase nuke
1624
01:25:57,935 --> 01:25:59,935
being driven into
a major city and detonated.
1625
01:25:59,937 --> 01:26:01,370
Airborne
bio-weapons can be put
1626
01:26:01,372 --> 01:26:02,804
into the
air conditioning units
1627
01:26:02,806 --> 01:26:05,006
of large shopping malls
or casinos.
1628
01:26:05,008 --> 01:26:06,876
A beloved
celebrity has been targeted
1629
01:26:06,878 --> 01:26:08,310
for kidnapping
and possibly beheading.
1630
01:26:08,312 --> 01:26:09,711
Phosphorus bombs,
1631
01:26:09,713 --> 01:26:11,982
chlorine attacks, mustard gas,
cluster bombs...
1632
01:26:20,992 --> 01:26:22,627
I'm scared, Dick.
1633
01:26:30,068 --> 01:26:32,236
I'll always take care
of you, Lynne.
1634
01:26:33,937 --> 01:26:34,873
You know that.
1635
01:26:38,142 --> 01:26:39,711
What are you going to do?
1636
01:27:20,351 --> 01:27:21,282
Move, move, move!
1637
01:27:28,525 --> 01:27:30,959
So, while Powell, the CIA,
1638
01:27:30,961 --> 01:27:32,827
and their
international coalition
1639
01:27:32,829 --> 01:27:35,430
toppled the Taliban
and took Afghanistan
1640
01:27:35,432 --> 01:27:36,999
in a matter of weeks,
1641
01:27:37,001 --> 01:27:39,867
Cheney had found something
much more powerful
1642
01:27:39,869 --> 01:27:42,806
than missiles or jet planes.
1643
01:27:43,807 --> 01:27:45,875
Mr. Vice President,
this is John Yoo.
1644
01:27:45,877 --> 01:27:48,013
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Mr. Vice President.
1645
01:27:49,879 --> 01:27:51,313
So David told me
you're looking
1646
01:27:51,315 --> 01:27:53,582
for executive authority.
1647
01:27:53,584 --> 01:27:54,983
Mm-hmm.
1648
01:27:54,985 --> 01:27:56,251
John here
is definitely your guy.
1649
01:27:57,654 --> 01:28:00,221
The war we're now fighting
1650
01:28:00,223 --> 01:28:03,994
will require resources
and abilities that the, uh...
1651
01:28:05,163 --> 01:28:09,831
the current interpretation
of the law... impedes.
1652
01:28:09,833 --> 01:28:11,000
The vice president believes
1653
01:28:11,002 --> 01:28:13,135
it is the duty
of the commander-in-chief
1654
01:28:13,137 --> 01:28:14,237
to protect the nation
1655
01:28:14,239 --> 01:28:15,438
and that no other obligation,
1656
01:28:15,440 --> 01:28:16,906
whether to Congress
or existing treaty
1657
01:28:16,908 --> 01:28:18,276
supersedes that dut.
1658
01:28:19,543 --> 01:28:21,078
How do you feel
about that statemen?
1659
01:28:22,413 --> 01:28:23,582
I couldn't agree more.
1660
01:28:25,048 --> 01:28:27,550
John Yoo's
first legal opinion
1661
01:28:27,552 --> 01:28:29,684
allowed the US government
1662
01:28:29,686 --> 01:28:32,821
to monitor every citizens'
phone calls,
1663
01:28:32,823 --> 01:28:35,256
texts, and e-mails
without a warrant.
1664
01:28:36,695 --> 01:28:40,028
It was a giant legal leap
1665
01:28:40,030 --> 01:28:42,367
based on sketchy law at best.
1666
01:28:43,368 --> 01:28:45,800
But John Yoo's masterpiece,
1667
01:28:45,802 --> 01:28:48,672
his Moby-Dick, if you will,
1668
01:28:49,774 --> 01:28:51,639
was the torture memo.
1669
01:28:51,641 --> 01:28:53,744
...your fucking contact is!
1670
01:28:54,811 --> 01:28:56,112
Where're your fucking hands?
1671
01:28:56,114 --> 01:28:58,383
What about
the Geneva Convention?
1672
01:28:59,217 --> 01:29:01,450
The Geneva Convention
is open to interpretation.
1673
01:29:01,452 --> 01:29:03,152
What exactly does that mean?
1674
01:29:03,154 --> 01:29:05,953
Stress positions,
1675
01:29:05,955 --> 01:29:07,590
waterboarding,
confided spaces, dogs...
1676
01:29:07,592 --> 01:29:09,361
We're calling it
"enhanced interrogation."
1677
01:29:10,360 --> 01:29:11,859
Are we sure
none of this fits
1678
01:29:11,861 --> 01:29:13,595
in the definition
of "torture"?
1679
01:29:13,597 --> 01:29:14,929
The US doesn't torture.
1680
01:29:14,931 --> 01:29:19,067
Therefore,
if the US does it,
1681
01:29:19,069 --> 01:29:22,103
by definition,
it can't be torture.
1682
01:29:26,144 --> 01:29:27,843
But torture and privacy laws
1683
01:29:27,845 --> 01:29:30,645
weren't the only laws Cheney
re-wrote with John Yoo.
1684
01:29:30,647 --> 01:29:33,816
They had a full menu
of legal opinions
1685
01:29:33,818 --> 01:29:35,984
stretching and challenging
constitutional
1686
01:29:35,986 --> 01:29:37,786
and international law.
1687
01:29:37,788 --> 01:29:39,688
Good evening, gentlemen.
1688
01:29:39,690 --> 01:29:42,791
Tonight we're offering
the enemy combatant,
1689
01:29:42,793 --> 01:29:45,228
whereby a person
is not a prisoner of war,
1690
01:29:45,230 --> 01:29:47,130
or a criminal,
which means of course
1691
01:29:47,132 --> 01:29:49,831
that he has absolutely
no protection under the law.
1692
01:29:49,833 --> 01:29:52,367
We're also offering
an extraordinary rendition
1693
01:29:52,369 --> 01:29:55,937
where suspects are abducted
without record on foreign soil
1694
01:29:55,939 --> 01:29:57,439
and taken to foreign prisons
1695
01:29:57,441 --> 01:29:58,773
in countries that still torture.
1696
01:29:58,775 --> 01:30:00,509
Oh, that sounds delicious.
1697
01:30:00,511 --> 01:30:02,377
We also have Guantanamo Bay,
1698
01:30:02,379 --> 01:30:04,380
which is very,
very complicated,
1699
01:30:04,382 --> 01:30:06,014
but it does allow you
to operate
1700
01:30:06,016 --> 01:30:08,350
outside the purview
of due process
1701
01:30:08,352 --> 01:30:10,952
on land which isn't
technically US territory,
1702
01:30:10,954 --> 01:30:13,087
but where we still
do have control.
1703
01:30:13,089 --> 01:30:15,657
And also, we have
a very fresh and delicious
1704
01:30:15,659 --> 01:30:17,893
War Powers Act interpretation
1705
01:30:17,895 --> 01:30:20,028
which gives the executive
branch broad powers
1706
01:30:20,030 --> 01:30:22,598
to attack nations or people
1707
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:24,867
who it deems
still possibly a threat.
1708
01:30:24,869 --> 01:30:27,903
We have the fact that under
the unitary executive theory,
1709
01:30:27,905 --> 01:30:29,604
if the president
does anything,
1710
01:30:29,606 --> 01:30:31,206
it must be legal.
1711
01:30:31,208 --> 01:30:34,376
Which, of course, means you can
do whatever the fuck you want.
1712
01:30:34,378 --> 01:30:35,676
So, gentlemen,
1713
01:30:35,678 --> 01:30:36,778
which would you like?
1714
01:30:36,780 --> 01:30:39,680
Hmm. We'll, uh,
we'll have them all.
1715
01:30:39,682 --> 01:30:41,183
Excellent choice.
1716
01:30:41,185 --> 01:30:42,220
Thank you.
1717
01:30:43,087 --> 01:30:46,287
Look, Dick,
uh, we've been working
1718
01:30:46,289 --> 01:30:48,756
with these focus groups
and advertising executives
1719
01:30:48,758 --> 01:30:50,960
to try and sell
the War on Terror.
1720
01:30:50,962 --> 01:30:53,429
I'll reiterate,
we are still being recorded,
1721
01:30:53,431 --> 01:30:55,331
and there still may
or may not be clients
1722
01:30:55,333 --> 01:30:56,631
back behind
the two-way mirrors...
1723
01:30:56,633 --> 01:30:59,434
These guys are pretty sharp.
1724
01:30:59,436 --> 01:31:00,437
Go on.
1725
01:31:01,504 --> 01:31:02,772
There's a problem.
1726
01:31:02,774 --> 01:31:04,305
The results show
that people are confused.
1727
01:31:04,307 --> 01:31:06,974
You all support
the president,
1728
01:31:06,976 --> 01:31:10,946
you hate terrorism,
yet you're still confused.
1729
01:31:10,948 --> 01:31:13,450
Can you tell me why?
Anybody?
1730
01:31:14,418 --> 01:31:17,952
Don't we have to just
get Osama bin Laden? He did it.
1731
01:31:17,954 --> 01:31:20,956
So why are they calling it
a war? A war with who?
1732
01:31:20,958 --> 01:31:22,558
Okay, thank you, Mark.
1733
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,960
Uh, Jasmine, jump in, please.
1734
01:31:24,962 --> 01:31:27,461
I don't get what this
Al-Qaeda is.
1735
01:31:27,463 --> 01:31:30,032
Are they a country, like,
why can't we just bomb them?
1736
01:31:30,034 --> 01:31:31,466
That's really interesting.
1737
01:31:31,468 --> 01:31:35,504
Um, is anybody else confused
about what Al-Qaeda is?
1738
01:31:35,506 --> 01:31:36,872
Show of hands, please.
1739
01:31:36,874 --> 01:31:39,207
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven...
1740
01:31:39,209 --> 01:31:41,977
That's a lot of you. Right?
1741
01:31:41,979 --> 01:31:43,946
Would it be less confusing
1742
01:31:43,948 --> 01:31:45,447
if it was a country?
1743
01:31:45,449 --> 01:31:46,549
Damn right.
1744
01:31:46,551 --> 01:31:48,019
I'm angry as hell.
1745
01:31:48,819 --> 01:31:51,553
We've gotta fuck someone up.
1746
01:31:51,555 --> 01:31:53,054
Got it. Mark.
1747
01:31:53,056 --> 01:31:55,191
Really strong feelings coming
from Mark. I'm interested.
1748
01:31:55,193 --> 01:31:56,825
Does anybody else feel
the same or agree...
1749
01:31:56,827 --> 01:31:58,930
They understand
we're at war, but...
1750
01:31:59,730 --> 01:32:01,464
they don't know
against who.
1751
01:32:01,466 --> 01:32:03,064
They want a country.
1752
01:32:03,066 --> 01:32:04,465
It's cleaner, simpler.
1753
01:32:04,467 --> 01:32:06,367
That would
certainly help us legally.
1754
01:32:06,369 --> 01:32:07,805
Hmm. Well...
1755
01:32:08,939 --> 01:32:11,142
looks like it's time
to take Iraq.
1756
01:32:12,543 --> 01:32:15,313
It is about goddamn time.
1757
01:32:18,982 --> 01:32:23,685
It's called
the Office of Special Plans.
1758
01:32:23,687 --> 01:32:26,787
Tenet is not yet
serious enough
1759
01:32:26,789 --> 01:32:29,224
about the threat
that Saddam poses
1760
01:32:29,226 --> 01:32:31,029
to the global war
on terror.
1761
01:32:32,061 --> 01:32:33,828
But I can promise you
1762
01:32:33,830 --> 01:32:35,930
that this
intelligence group will be.
1763
01:32:35,932 --> 01:32:37,066
Wolfie, I got something.
1764
01:32:37,068 --> 01:32:38,367
Truck transmissions.
1765
01:32:38,369 --> 01:32:40,036
If there's a donkey
with a radio up his ass,
1766
01:32:40,038 --> 01:32:41,103
I wanna know
what it's transmitting.
1767
01:32:41,105 --> 01:32:43,107
I think that's
an excellent idea.
1768
01:32:45,275 --> 01:32:47,609
I've been wantin' to take
that motherfucker Saddam down
1769
01:32:47,611 --> 01:32:49,178
- for a long time.
- Hmm.
1770
01:32:49,180 --> 01:32:51,212
Here's a report
that says Mohamed Atta,
1771
01:32:51,214 --> 01:32:52,781
one of the 9-11 hijackers,
1772
01:32:52,783 --> 01:32:55,416
may have met with
an Iraqi spy in Prague.
1773
01:32:55,418 --> 01:32:56,984
It's a really
strong statement.
1774
01:32:56,986 --> 01:32:58,886
Does anybody agree
with that statement?
1775
01:32:58,888 --> 01:33:01,657
Wait a minute.
We can't just bomb people.
1776
01:33:01,659 --> 01:33:02,691
- Oh, please.
- Yeah, no.
1777
01:33:02,693 --> 01:33:03,858
It's from Czech intelligence,
1778
01:33:03,860 --> 01:33:05,626
and they question
its credibility.
1779
01:33:05,628 --> 01:33:07,862
I've been to Prague.
They question everything.
1780
01:33:07,864 --> 01:33:10,866
Who wants to be
an anonymous source?
1781
01:33:10,868 --> 01:33:12,468
Make sure you work
in the phrase,
1782
01:33:12,470 --> 01:33:14,402
"We don't want the smoking gun
to be a mushroom cloud."
1783
01:33:14,404 --> 01:33:16,738
That focus-grouped
through the roof.
1784
01:33:16,740 --> 01:33:19,073
There will always
be uncertainty
1785
01:33:19,075 --> 01:33:22,077
about when he will acquire
nuclear weapons.
1786
01:33:22,079 --> 01:33:24,580
But we don't want
the smoking gun
1787
01:33:24,582 --> 01:33:25,915
to be a mushroom cloud.
1788
01:33:25,917 --> 01:33:27,950
There is a smoking gun
or a mushroom cloud
1789
01:33:27,952 --> 01:33:29,885
- we have waited too long.
- Simply stated,
1790
01:33:29,887 --> 01:33:32,254
there is no doubt
that Saddam Hussein
1791
01:33:32,256 --> 01:33:34,456
now has weapons
of mass destruction.
1792
01:33:34,458 --> 01:33:36,325
We gotta get rid
of this dictator.
1793
01:33:36,327 --> 01:33:38,059
He's got anthrax,
he's got all these weapons...
1794
01:33:38,061 --> 01:33:40,129
There is no doubt
he is amassing them
1795
01:33:40,131 --> 01:33:41,830
to use them
against our friends,
1796
01:33:41,832 --> 01:33:43,898
against our allies,
and against us.
1797
01:33:43,900 --> 01:33:46,835
When, and not if, but when
1798
01:33:46,837 --> 01:33:49,537
Saddam creates
and uses nuclear weapons,
1799
01:33:49,539 --> 01:33:51,473
what will we tell
the American people?
1800
01:33:51,475 --> 01:33:55,344
Saddam Hussein will continue
to increase his capacity
1801
01:33:55,346 --> 01:33:57,645
to wage biological
and chemical warfare.
1802
01:33:57,647 --> 01:33:58,880
- Hello?
- Whassup!
1803
01:34:03,287 --> 01:34:06,087
To show that we will stand up
for what we know to be right,
1804
01:34:06,089 --> 01:34:08,322
to show that we will confront
the tyrannies
1805
01:34:08,324 --> 01:34:09,992
and dictatorships
and terrorists
1806
01:34:09,994 --> 01:34:11,960
who put our way of life
at risk.
1807
01:34:11,962 --> 01:34:13,828
...of winning
a second UN resolution
1808
01:34:13,830 --> 01:34:15,764
authorizing war against Iraq.
1809
01:34:15,766 --> 01:34:17,299
So tonight President Bush...
1810
01:34:17,301 --> 01:34:19,600
...and the hopes
of an oppressed people...
1811
01:34:19,602 --> 01:34:20,672
The tribe has spoken.
1812
01:34:23,473 --> 01:34:26,041
Polling for an invasion
of Iraq
1813
01:34:26,043 --> 01:34:28,176
is at 53 percent.
1814
01:34:28,178 --> 01:34:29,745
Focus groups show people
1815
01:34:29,747 --> 01:34:31,813
still aren't sure
about a connection
1816
01:34:31,815 --> 01:34:34,416
between Saddam and Al-Qaeda.
1817
01:34:34,418 --> 01:34:36,018
And France and Germany
have both said
1818
01:34:36,020 --> 01:34:37,853
that they will not join
our coalition
1819
01:34:37,855 --> 01:34:39,554
And neither will Israel.
1820
01:34:39,556 --> 01:34:42,823
Ariel and I we went
to the Wall together with Condi.
1821
01:34:42,825 --> 01:34:43,992
We-we prayed together.
1822
01:34:43,994 --> 01:34:46,127
Israel's one
of our closest allies.
1823
01:34:46,129 --> 01:34:49,264
They said an invasion
of Iraq would...
1824
01:34:49,266 --> 01:34:51,500
destabilize the region, sir,
1825
01:34:51,502 --> 01:34:53,437
and that they don't believe
Saddam is an immediate threat.
1826
01:34:54,538 --> 01:34:55,938
That's not good.
1827
01:34:55,940 --> 01:34:58,706
I really want
a strong coalition for this.
1828
01:34:58,708 --> 01:35:00,242
I have an idea.
1829
01:35:00,244 --> 01:35:02,176
Secretary Powell has
the highest
1830
01:35:02,178 --> 01:35:04,449
trustworthy ratings
of all of us.
1831
01:35:05,315 --> 01:35:07,616
What if he gave an address
to the UN
1832
01:35:07,618 --> 01:35:09,285
and the American people
1833
01:35:09,287 --> 01:35:11,353
to push this over
the finish line?
1834
01:35:11,355 --> 01:35:13,522
Karl, I have been very vocal,
1835
01:35:13,524 --> 01:35:16,058
very vocal about my reservations
about invading Iraq.
1836
01:35:16,060 --> 01:35:19,661
Oh! Colin, you're such
a nervous Nellie.
1837
01:35:19,663 --> 01:35:21,962
- We are talking about invading...
- A worry wart.
1838
01:35:21,964 --> 01:35:23,599
- ...a sovereign nation...
- Sovereign nation?
1839
01:35:23,601 --> 01:35:26,001
- ...without any provocation, Don.
- Don't give me that...
1840
01:35:26,003 --> 01:35:27,402
It is a sovereign nation, Don.
1841
01:35:27,404 --> 01:35:28,970
...in any way, shape,
or form. You're wrong.
1842
01:35:28,972 --> 01:35:30,205
What's the exit strategy?
1843
01:35:30,207 --> 01:35:32,241
What, what about
the intelligence?
1844
01:35:32,243 --> 01:35:34,209
- Does the intelligence matter to you at all?
- The exit strategy. Oh, please.
1845
01:35:34,211 --> 01:35:35,676
- You break it, you bought it.
- You know you're wrong.
1846
01:35:35,678 --> 01:35:37,246
- You break it, you bought it.
- You're a chicken-shit.
1847
01:35:37,248 --> 01:35:39,415
All right.
Hey, hey, hey, all right.
1848
01:35:39,417 --> 01:35:40,916
Ho-ho-ho-ho.
1849
01:35:40,918 --> 01:35:42,286
Let-let's slow down.
1850
01:35:43,186 --> 01:35:44,819
That's enough of that,
you guys.
1851
01:35:44,821 --> 01:35:46,190
Well, are you...
1852
01:35:47,290 --> 01:35:50,328
gonna take
Saddam down or not?
1853
01:35:51,195 --> 01:35:53,464
You are the president.
1854
01:35:56,065 --> 01:35:59,803
War... is yours.
1855
01:36:01,471 --> 01:36:05,006
Not the UN,
not some coalition.
1856
01:36:05,008 --> 01:36:07,211
Do not share powers...
1857
01:36:08,177 --> 01:36:10,080
that are yours alone.
1858
01:36:17,454 --> 01:36:20,822
George, make sure
Powell sees the intelligence.
1859
01:36:20,824 --> 01:36:22,389
Yes, sir.
1860
01:36:22,391 --> 01:36:24,526
Colin,
I want you to make that speech.
1861
01:36:24,528 --> 01:36:26,594
I'm president,
and I want this to happen.
1862
01:36:26,596 --> 01:36:27,895
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
1863
01:36:27,897 --> 01:36:29,531
Yes, sir.
1864
01:36:29,533 --> 01:36:31,433
I look forward to being briefed
on that intelligence.
1865
01:36:31,435 --> 01:36:34,236
On another note, I've been
handed a credible report
1866
01:36:34,238 --> 01:36:37,906
of a small terrorist enclave
in North Eastern Iraq.
1867
01:36:37,908 --> 01:36:39,006
If we're gonna invade,
1868
01:36:39,008 --> 01:36:40,608
we suggest taking it
out before.
1869
01:36:40,610 --> 01:36:42,510
Let it go, George.
We have bigger fish to fry.
1870
01:36:42,512 --> 01:36:44,645
Let me see that intelligence.
1871
01:36:44,647 --> 01:36:46,348
Of course.
1872
01:36:46,350 --> 01:36:49,318
That classified document
1873
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:53,654
described a terrorist named
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi
1874
01:36:53,656 --> 01:36:56,124
who had started
as a drug dealer and pimp
1875
01:36:56,126 --> 01:36:57,792
before becoming
fully radicalized
1876
01:36:57,794 --> 01:36:59,862
in a Jordanian prison.
1877
01:36:59,864 --> 01:37:03,197
Zarqawi went to meet
bin Laden in Afghanistan.
1878
01:37:03,199 --> 01:37:05,701
Did he or did he not meet
with Al-Qaeda?
1879
01:37:05,703 --> 01:37:10,406
But Zarqawi had vowed
to kill all Shia Muslims,
1880
01:37:10,408 --> 01:37:13,709
and bin Laden's mother
was Shia.
1881
01:37:13,711 --> 01:37:15,977
So the meeting
didn't go over well.
1882
01:37:15,979 --> 01:37:17,679
They had
no operational contact.
1883
01:37:17,681 --> 01:37:18,746
Hogwash.
1884
01:37:18,748 --> 01:37:21,950
Larry,
have you seen this speech?
1885
01:37:21,952 --> 01:37:23,451
Yes, sir. It's bone-thin.
1886
01:37:23,453 --> 01:37:26,121
I saw at least five pieces
of disproved intel in there.
1887
01:37:26,123 --> 01:37:27,221
Who wrote it?
1888
01:37:27,223 --> 01:37:28,557
They said
it was the president,
1889
01:37:28,559 --> 01:37:30,024
but I think you can guess
who really wrote it.
1890
01:37:30,026 --> 01:37:32,262
Well, there's no need
to yell, Larry.
1891
01:37:33,096 --> 01:37:36,398
Yeah, well,
we reviewed the speech,
1892
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,336
we gave some notes.
1893
01:37:39,703 --> 01:37:43,404
Powell really doesn't have
a clue, does he?
1894
01:37:43,406 --> 01:37:46,008
After the US
invaded Afghanistan,
1895
01:37:46,010 --> 01:37:48,576
Zarqawi set up shop in Iraq.
1896
01:37:48,578 --> 01:37:51,312
It was the only connection
Cheney had
1897
01:37:51,314 --> 01:37:53,215
between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.
1898
01:37:53,217 --> 01:37:55,617
The Security Council
will now begin
1899
01:37:55,619 --> 01:37:59,621
its consideration
of item two of the agend.
1900
01:37:59,623 --> 01:38:01,822
I call now
on the distinguished
1901
01:38:01,824 --> 01:38:03,125
Secretary of State
1902
01:38:03,127 --> 01:38:04,992
of the United States
of America,
1903
01:38:04,994 --> 01:38:07,496
His Excellency,
Mr. Colin Powell.
1904
01:38:07,498 --> 01:38:10,331
My purpose here today
is to share with you
1905
01:38:10,333 --> 01:38:11,633
what the United States knows
1906
01:38:11,635 --> 01:38:14,803
about Iraq's weapons
of mass destruction
1907
01:38:14,805 --> 01:38:17,738
as well as Iraq's involvement
in terrorism.
1908
01:38:17,740 --> 01:38:20,742
Iraq, today, harbors
a deadly terrorist network
1909
01:38:20,744 --> 01:38:23,679
headed by
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi,
1910
01:38:23,681 --> 01:38:25,913
an associate
and collaborator...
1911
01:38:25,915 --> 01:38:28,649
Powell's UN address was
seen by millions of Americans,
1912
01:38:28,651 --> 01:38:31,319
but other people
were watching as well.
1913
01:38:31,321 --> 01:38:33,188
Collaborator
of Osama bin Laden
1914
01:38:33,190 --> 01:38:34,825
and his Al-Qaeda
lieutenants...
1915
01:38:35,626 --> 01:38:37,526
Zarqawi's activities
are not confined...
1916
01:38:37,528 --> 01:38:38,859
The great general of America
1917
01:38:38,861 --> 01:38:40,962
saying his name
over and over again
1918
01:38:40,964 --> 01:38:43,430
immediately made
Zarqawi a star.
1919
01:38:43,432 --> 01:38:45,367
Staying
in the capital of Iraq...
1920
01:38:45,369 --> 01:38:46,667
Allahu Akbar!
1921
01:38:46,669 --> 01:38:49,071
Within a day,
he had gone into hiding.
1922
01:38:49,073 --> 01:38:51,805
Allahu Akbar!
Allahu Akbar!
1923
01:38:51,807 --> 01:38:55,010
...but these denials
are simply not credible.
1924
01:38:55,012 --> 01:38:57,379
They are simply not credible.
1925
01:38:57,381 --> 01:38:59,648
An Al-Qaeda source
tells us that
1926
01:38:59,650 --> 01:39:01,916
Saddam and bin Laden
reached an understanding
1927
01:39:01,918 --> 01:39:04,185
that Al-Qaeda would no longer
1928
01:39:04,187 --> 01:39:06,522
support activities
against Baghdad.
1929
01:39:06,524 --> 01:39:08,288
By the time we invaded Iraq,
1930
01:39:08,290 --> 01:39:10,492
70 percent
of Americans thought
1931
01:39:10,494 --> 01:39:13,297
that Saddam Hussein
was involved in 9-11.
1932
01:39:14,765 --> 01:39:18,198
Later, Colin Powell
would call the speech
1933
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:21,001
the most painful moment
of his life.
1934
01:39:23,940 --> 01:39:24,874
Thank you, sir.
1935
01:39:26,575 --> 01:39:28,408
And what was it?
Justin, right?
1936
01:39:28,410 --> 01:39:29,810
She can buy
her album now, Mom.
1937
01:39:29,812 --> 01:39:31,679
What was
the girl's name that won?
1938
01:39:31,681 --> 01:39:33,782
- No, Kelly. And then Justin.
- Last year.
1939
01:39:33,784 --> 01:39:35,383
What are you talking about?
1940
01:39:35,385 --> 01:39:37,318
We're talking about
American Idol, Dad.
1941
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:38,420
What is that?
1942
01:39:38,422 --> 01:39:39,787
We watched it.
You've seen it.
1943
01:39:39,789 --> 01:39:42,191
- You've seen it...
- I've watched it next to you.
1944
01:39:42,193 --> 01:39:44,024
The singing, and the
mean judge, and the...
1945
01:39:44,026 --> 01:39:45,426
I don't like that...
1946
01:39:45,428 --> 01:39:47,027
- The mean British judge?
- You liked it.
1947
01:39:47,029 --> 01:39:48,697
- You liked the mean British...
- Oh, I like him.
1948
01:39:48,699 --> 01:39:49,734
Yeah, you...
1949
01:39:50,501 --> 01:39:52,533
Do you know how
to stop a fish from smelling?
1950
01:39:52,535 --> 01:39:53,934
Very appropriate.
1951
01:39:53,936 --> 01:39:57,005
That's not a...
That's a terrible joke.
1952
01:39:57,007 --> 01:39:58,572
Well, I didn't finish it yet.
1953
01:39:58,574 --> 01:40:00,073
I mean, everybody.
1954
01:40:00,075 --> 01:40:02,376
You cut off its nose.
1955
01:40:02,378 --> 01:40:04,513
Wait, what?
1956
01:40:04,515 --> 01:40:06,514
I know, Grace,
cover your ears please.
1957
01:40:06,516 --> 01:40:09,617
- Cheers, honey.
- Cheers. Oh, my gosh.
1958
01:40:09,619 --> 01:40:11,286
- We're not.
- No, we're not.
1959
01:40:11,288 --> 01:40:12,621
We're not revisiting
1960
01:40:12,623 --> 01:40:15,691
your father's
colorful conversations...
1961
01:40:15,693 --> 01:40:17,628
Let's just say
that your dad...
1962
01:40:27,471 --> 01:40:29,438
Again, another,
1963
01:40:29,440 --> 01:40:30,775
disintegrating...
1964
01:40:38,281 --> 01:40:40,415
Is the prompter
visible for you?
1965
01:40:40,417 --> 01:40:44,185
Yeah, yeah. Bring it
a little closer. Yeah.
1966
01:40:44,187 --> 01:40:46,153
How's my hair? All right?
1967
01:40:46,155 --> 01:40:48,256
- Looks good.
- Tie?
1968
01:40:48,258 --> 01:40:51,662
And we are five,
four, three...
1969
01:40:52,596 --> 01:40:54,996
My fellow citizens,
at this hour,
1970
01:40:54,998 --> 01:40:56,865
American and coalition forces
1971
01:40:56,867 --> 01:41:00,568
are in the early stages
of military operations
1972
01:41:00,570 --> 01:41:03,737
to disarm Iraq,
to free its people
1973
01:41:03,739 --> 01:41:06,176
and to defend the world
from grave danger.
1974
01:41:07,078 --> 01:41:10,411
On my orders, coalition forces
have begun striking
1975
01:41:10,413 --> 01:41:13,415
selected targets
of military importance
1976
01:41:13,417 --> 01:41:16,117
to undermine
Saddam Hussein's ability
1977
01:41:16,119 --> 01:41:17,719
to wage war.
1978
01:41:17,721 --> 01:41:19,854
These are opening stages
of what will be
1979
01:41:19,856 --> 01:41:23,325
a broad
and concerted campaign.
1980
01:41:23,327 --> 01:41:26,426
To all the men and women of
the United States Armed Forces
1981
01:41:26,428 --> 01:41:28,429
now in the Middle East,
1982
01:41:28,431 --> 01:41:30,531
the peace of a troubled world
1983
01:41:30,533 --> 01:41:33,602
and the hopes
of an oppressed people...
1984
01:42:04,434 --> 01:42:06,166
Guys, over here.
Two o'clock.
1985
01:42:06,168 --> 01:42:07,568
Contact, two hundred yards.
1986
01:42:10,673 --> 01:42:12,206
This statement
from the White House,
1987
01:42:12,208 --> 01:42:15,777
President Bush regards this
as an historic moment.
1988
01:42:15,779 --> 01:42:17,578
The scenes on television show
1989
01:42:17,580 --> 01:42:20,948
the thirst for freedom
is unquenchable.
1990
01:42:20,950 --> 01:42:22,517
Striker One L-S-O,
1991
01:42:22,519 --> 01:42:23,887
You are clear to land.
1992
01:42:35,498 --> 01:42:39,703
USA! USA! USA!
1993
01:42:41,171 --> 01:42:42,440
Good work.
1994
01:42:46,310 --> 01:42:48,512
Hi. Um...
1995
01:42:49,846 --> 01:42:53,180
It seems like they've been
shipping men and equipment
1996
01:42:53,182 --> 01:42:55,485
out of Afghanistan, into Iraq,
1997
01:42:56,852 --> 01:42:59,955
and at the moment,
we're a little unsure
1998
01:42:59,957 --> 01:43:01,992
of what's going on.
1999
01:43:04,261 --> 01:43:07,698
I don't want you
to worry about me.
2000
01:43:14,605 --> 01:43:18,372
Major combat operations
in Iraq have ended.
2001
01:43:18,374 --> 01:43:20,008
In the battle of Iraq,
2002
01:43:20,010 --> 01:43:23,180
the United States
and our allies have prevailed.
2003
01:43:24,346 --> 01:43:26,682
We have concerns
over Halliburton KBR's
2004
01:43:26,684 --> 01:43:27,950
billing practices.
2005
01:43:28,717 --> 01:43:31,118
As you know, the no-bid
contracts they received
2006
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:32,955
were quite sizable, and now...
2007
01:43:32,957 --> 01:43:35,456
Well, we're not concerned,
are we?
2008
01:43:35,458 --> 01:43:36,392
Not at all.
2009
01:43:37,160 --> 01:43:39,760
The secretary of defense
and the vice president
2010
01:43:39,762 --> 01:43:41,598
just said
they're not concerned.
2011
01:43:42,432 --> 01:43:44,133
Now, can we please talk
about Iran?
2012
01:43:56,113 --> 01:43:59,546
To this day, Dick Cheney
has never apologized
2013
01:43:59,548 --> 01:44:00,849
for this incident.
2014
01:44:00,851 --> 01:44:03,617
Jesus, Dick!
2015
01:44:03,619 --> 01:44:05,687
- But someone else did.
- Oh, hell.
2016
01:44:05,689 --> 01:44:08,790
My family and I
are deeply sorry
2017
01:44:08,792 --> 01:44:10,791
for all that
Vice President Cheney
2018
01:44:10,793 --> 01:44:12,527
and his family
have had to go through
2019
01:44:12,529 --> 01:44:14,094
this past week.
2020
01:44:14,096 --> 01:44:16,699
We send our love
and respect to them.
2021
01:44:17,700 --> 01:44:20,337
And we hope that he will
continue to come to Texas...
2022
01:44:21,305 --> 01:44:24,074
and seek the relaxation
that he deserves.
2023
01:44:25,641 --> 01:44:27,810
So, this, uh...
2024
01:44:29,044 --> 01:44:32,947
Joe Wilson asshole...
2025
01:44:32,949 --> 01:44:34,381
...is questioning
our intelligence
2026
01:44:34,383 --> 01:44:36,086
in the New York Times.
2027
01:44:37,721 --> 01:44:39,857
What's his wife's name again?
2028
01:44:41,057 --> 01:44:42,724
Valerie Plame.
2029
01:44:42,726 --> 01:44:45,262
I confirmed it.
She's undercover CIA.
2030
01:44:46,428 --> 01:44:47,664
Leak it.
2031
01:45:03,445 --> 01:45:05,013
Okay, okay.
2032
01:45:05,015 --> 01:45:06,715
Like, they don't care
about their dogs, man.
2033
01:45:06,717 --> 01:45:08,616
I mean they shoot 'em.
They let 'em roam wild.
2034
01:45:08,618 --> 01:45:10,053
What kinda man
don't love a dog?
2035
01:45:10,820 --> 01:45:12,252
People in India love cows.
2036
01:45:12,254 --> 01:45:13,654
They look at us
2037
01:45:13,656 --> 01:45:15,357
and how we treat cows
and think the same thing.
2038
01:45:15,359 --> 01:45:17,291
Cows. All due respect...
2039
01:45:17,293 --> 01:45:19,797
that sounds like some liberal
ass-scratchin' bullshit...
2040
01:45:28,538 --> 01:45:30,107
Linda.
2041
01:45:33,510 --> 01:45:34,675
Look at this crap.
2042
01:45:34,677 --> 01:45:35,876
God damn it.
2043
01:45:35,878 --> 01:45:37,146
Hello, Don.
2044
01:45:38,248 --> 01:45:40,348
That report says Zarqawi,
2045
01:45:40,350 --> 01:45:43,018
the same fucking Zarqawi
we talked up for months,
2046
01:45:43,020 --> 01:45:46,187
is now leading
a major insurgence in Iraq.
2047
01:45:46,189 --> 01:45:49,558
And the implication is
it's because we talked him up.
2048
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:51,224
Has POTUS seen this?
2049
01:45:51,226 --> 01:45:52,426
No, no, no.
2050
01:45:52,428 --> 01:45:55,729
I... I intercepted it before
it got across the hallway.
2051
01:45:55,731 --> 01:45:57,932
And this is,
this is generated by an analyst.
2052
01:45:57,934 --> 01:45:59,136
Get me Tenet.
2053
01:46:00,302 --> 01:46:01,335
This stops here.
2054
01:46:01,337 --> 01:46:03,205
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
2055
01:46:03,207 --> 01:46:06,041
had taken his fame
from Powell's UN speech
2056
01:46:06,043 --> 01:46:08,578
and turned it
into his own new thing.
2057
01:46:09,512 --> 01:46:13,480
The Islamic State of Iraq and Levant...
2058
01:46:13,482 --> 01:46:14,948
...or ISIS.
2059
01:46:14,950 --> 01:46:18,118
And because that intelligence
somehow found itself
2060
01:46:18,120 --> 01:46:20,356
on the bottom
of a stack of papers...
2061
01:46:21,624 --> 01:46:22,991
Zarqawi had a whole year
2062
01:46:22,993 --> 01:46:25,763
to just do whatever
the hell he wanted.
2063
01:46:26,596 --> 01:46:27,997
And what he wanted...
2064
01:46:29,231 --> 01:46:30,667
was carnage.
2065
01:46:32,168 --> 01:46:33,836
Shia versus Sunni.
2066
01:46:35,672 --> 01:46:37,675
The West versus Islam.
2067
01:46:39,876 --> 01:46:42,212
And death versus life.
2068
01:46:43,579 --> 01:46:44,880
And on top of that,
2069
01:46:44,882 --> 01:46:47,448
US forces couldn't find
any WMDs
2070
01:46:47,450 --> 01:46:49,983
or nuclear programs in Iraq.
2071
01:46:49,985 --> 01:46:52,286
Turns out that Saddam
and his sons
2072
01:46:52,288 --> 01:46:53,787
mostly liked cocaine
2073
01:46:53,789 --> 01:46:56,224
and American movies
from the '80s.
2074
01:46:56,226 --> 01:46:57,759
Vice President Dick Cheney
2075
01:46:57,761 --> 01:47:00,394
is being sued
by Valerie Plame
2076
01:47:00,396 --> 01:47:02,131
and her husband Joseph Wilson.
2077
01:47:02,999 --> 01:47:04,299
The White House announced
2078
01:47:04,301 --> 01:47:05,899
four cabinet resignations
2079
01:47:05,901 --> 01:47:08,836
including that of Secretary
of State Colin Powell.
2080
01:47:08,838 --> 01:47:10,039
Dick.
2081
01:47:10,841 --> 01:47:12,273
Look, I hope there's
no hard feelings
2082
01:47:12,275 --> 01:47:15,643
about us investigating
the no-bid Iraq contract
2083
01:47:15,645 --> 01:47:16,710
for Halliburton.
2084
01:47:16,712 --> 01:47:19,313
You know,
I'm just doing my job.
2085
01:47:19,315 --> 01:47:20,751
Go fuck yourself.
2086
01:47:30,426 --> 01:47:32,660
Dick Cheney
emerges from the dugout
2087
01:47:32,662 --> 01:47:34,261
on the third base side.
2088
01:47:34,263 --> 01:47:36,965
There's a lot of energy
that follows any opener,
2089
01:47:36,967 --> 01:47:39,533
whether it be the opener
to the regular season
2090
01:47:39,535 --> 01:47:41,536
or, in this case,
the home opener
2091
01:47:41,538 --> 01:47:43,237
for the Washington Nationals.
2092
01:47:43,239 --> 01:47:46,107
But there's continued buildup,
Eddie, for this team
2093
01:47:46,109 --> 01:47:48,643
because of the success
they had last year
2094
01:47:48,645 --> 01:47:50,444
in drawing some
pretty good numbers.
2095
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,353
Dick Cheney,
a little bit low and outside.
2096
01:48:00,355 --> 01:48:03,258
Iraq War,
now proven to be false.
2097
01:48:03,260 --> 01:48:05,359
There is a chorus
of people calling
2098
01:48:05,361 --> 01:48:08,161
for Vice President Dick Cheney
to step aside and resign.
2099
01:48:08,163 --> 01:48:11,099
These issues may
not be resolved for some time.
2100
01:48:11,101 --> 01:48:12,236
Go away!
2101
01:48:20,110 --> 01:48:21,709
I swear to God
2102
01:48:21,711 --> 01:48:23,981
this whole place
is turning against me.
2103
01:48:27,950 --> 01:48:30,018
- Where are you?
- I'm in an empty office
2104
01:48:30,020 --> 01:48:31,585
just trying to get
a clean phone line.
2105
01:48:31,587 --> 01:48:34,822
Listen, if we could just get
2106
01:48:34,824 --> 01:48:36,157
an air bombardment in Iraq,
2107
01:48:36,159 --> 01:48:37,959
I think it would make
a statement
2108
01:48:37,961 --> 01:48:39,827
and it would give us
some political cover.
2109
01:48:39,829 --> 01:48:41,694
It's over, Don.
2110
01:48:41,696 --> 01:48:42,800
What's that?
2111
01:48:43,600 --> 01:48:45,399
What is?
2112
01:48:45,401 --> 01:48:46,701
It's over.
2113
01:48:46,703 --> 01:48:47,969
President wants you
to step down.
2114
01:48:47,971 --> 01:48:49,540
He appreciates your service.
2115
01:48:55,779 --> 01:48:56,946
Don?
2116
01:48:59,850 --> 01:49:02,817
Well, does, uh...
2117
01:49:02,819 --> 01:49:05,189
Bush's kid want me out
or do you?
2118
01:49:08,624 --> 01:49:10,157
I can't win every fight, Don.
2119
01:49:10,159 --> 01:49:12,061
You are a little piece
of shit.
2120
01:49:14,463 --> 01:49:17,501
Wow. How did you become
such a cold son of a bitch?
2121
01:49:18,502 --> 01:49:19,570
I'm sorry, Don.
2122
01:49:20,770 --> 01:49:22,105
I really am.
2123
01:49:24,007 --> 01:49:26,076
Well, you know
how I know you're not?
2124
01:49:27,811 --> 01:49:29,246
'Cause I wouldn't be.
2125
01:49:35,551 --> 01:49:37,087
Think they'll prosecute us?
2126
01:49:41,824 --> 01:49:43,193
Okay, then.
2127
01:49:46,462 --> 01:49:47,496
Okay, then.
2128
01:50:09,084 --> 01:50:11,954
I, Barack Hussein Obama,
do solemnly swear...
2129
01:50:12,756 --> 01:50:15,121
That I will execute the office
2130
01:50:15,123 --> 01:50:17,826
of president to
the United States faithfully.
2131
01:50:24,967 --> 01:50:26,834
Few years later,
2132
01:50:26,836 --> 01:50:29,071
Dick's heart trouble
started up again.
2133
01:50:29,972 --> 01:50:32,273
And with no donor available,
2134
01:50:32,275 --> 01:50:35,545
he finally found himself
at death's door.
2135
01:50:42,052 --> 01:50:43,287
Well?
2136
01:50:44,087 --> 01:50:47,188
I wish I had...
I had better news.
2137
01:50:47,190 --> 01:50:49,657
Your heart just isn't pumping
enough oxygen
2138
01:50:49,659 --> 01:50:51,228
to keep
your vital organs alive.
2139
01:50:53,797 --> 01:50:55,630
Should I call for a minister?
2140
01:50:55,632 --> 01:50:58,969
No, no.
He's not going anywhere.
2141
01:51:01,471 --> 01:51:03,106
Okay, then.
2142
01:51:06,043 --> 01:51:07,508
Dick Cheney,
2143
01:51:07,510 --> 01:51:10,480
you are not going anywhere,
do you hear me?
2144
01:51:11,248 --> 01:51:12,846
You're not going anywhere.
2145
01:51:12,848 --> 01:51:14,184
This may be the, uh...
2146
01:51:15,517 --> 01:51:16,917
one time, I, uh,
2147
01:51:16,919 --> 01:51:18,087
I can't do...
2148
01:51:19,221 --> 01:51:21,357
what your mother says, girls.
2149
01:51:31,601 --> 01:51:33,437
- I love you, Daddy.
- I love you, Mary.
2150
01:51:34,537 --> 01:51:36,737
I love you, Lizzie.
2151
01:51:36,739 --> 01:51:39,009
And we love you so much.
2152
01:51:40,110 --> 01:51:41,742
We love you so much.
2153
01:51:41,744 --> 01:51:43,180
My girls.
2154
01:51:49,052 --> 01:51:50,654
I love you, girls.
2155
01:52:04,499 --> 01:52:09,269
So Dick Cheney told his family
that he was ready to die
2156
01:52:09,271 --> 01:52:11,339
and that he wasn't afraid.
2157
01:52:11,341 --> 01:52:14,742
He told them
he had lived a full life
2158
01:52:14,744 --> 01:52:16,077
and that
he had zero regrets...
2159
01:53:08,263 --> 01:53:11,200
Vice President Cheney,
cross your arms, please.
2160
01:53:12,334 --> 01:53:15,169
There you go.
Okay, on a count of three.
2161
01:53:15,171 --> 01:53:16,807
One, two, three.
2162
01:53:19,876 --> 01:53:23,146
They say my heart could
give him another ten years.
2163
01:53:24,547 --> 01:53:28,683
Cheney doesn't like to refer
to it as someone else's heart.
2164
01:53:28,685 --> 01:53:31,521
He likes to refer to it
as his new heart.
2165
01:53:32,821 --> 01:53:35,492
Which, even though I'm dead,
I have to say...
2166
01:53:36,592 --> 01:53:38,728
still makes me feel
pretty shitty.
2167
01:53:40,730 --> 01:53:44,230
And so, when Liz decided
to run for one
2168
01:53:44,232 --> 01:53:46,300
of Wyoming's
two Senate seats
2169
01:53:46,302 --> 01:53:49,903
against Republican incumbent
Mike Enzi,
2170
01:53:49,905 --> 01:53:51,572
our Dick was right there
2171
01:53:51,574 --> 01:53:55,009
to hopefully see the Cheney
legacy of power continue.
2172
01:53:55,011 --> 01:53:58,179
Are you aware Wyoming
Senate candidate Liz Cheney
2173
01:53:58,181 --> 01:53:59,612
supports gay marriage?
2174
01:53:59,614 --> 01:54:01,416
Her sister is married
to another woman,
2175
01:54:01,418 --> 01:54:03,450
and Liz Cheney refuses
to support
2176
01:54:03,452 --> 01:54:06,886
a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriage.
2177
01:54:06,888 --> 01:54:08,154
Instead, she equivocates,
2178
01:54:08,156 --> 01:54:10,057
claiming it's a states
rights issue.
2179
01:54:10,059 --> 01:54:11,724
Don't you agree
Wyoming deserves
2180
01:54:11,726 --> 01:54:14,260
a senator who believes
marriage should be
2181
01:54:14,262 --> 01:54:15,763
between a man and a woman?
2182
01:54:15,765 --> 01:54:18,200
These calls went
to every house in Wyoming.
2183
01:54:19,269 --> 01:54:20,870
Every single house.
2184
01:54:24,039 --> 01:54:25,475
I will never win.
2185
01:54:27,909 --> 01:54:29,445
What are we gonna do?
2186
01:54:32,882 --> 01:54:35,151
O2 monitor is steady.
2187
01:54:37,553 --> 01:54:39,786
We're joined
here today by Liz Cheney,
2188
01:54:39,788 --> 01:54:43,023
who is running for the Senate
from the state of Wyoming.
2189
01:54:43,025 --> 01:54:44,392
According to one poll,
2190
01:54:44,394 --> 01:54:47,161
she is behind
by double digits.
2191
01:54:47,163 --> 01:54:48,328
Welcome.
2192
01:54:48,330 --> 01:54:49,429
Thank you
for having me here, Chris.
2193
01:54:49,431 --> 01:54:50,697
Great to be with you.
2194
01:54:50,699 --> 01:54:52,066
And may I point out,
there are other polls
2195
01:54:52,068 --> 01:54:54,135
that have me much closer.
2196
01:54:54,137 --> 01:54:55,602
Your opponent,
Senator Mike Enzi,
2197
01:54:55,604 --> 01:54:58,738
claims that you support
gay marriage
2198
01:54:58,740 --> 01:55:00,707
in part, because...
2199
01:55:00,709 --> 01:55:03,443
you support your gay sister
Mary's union with her wife.
2200
01:55:03,445 --> 01:55:04,879
I think
she's coming off very well.
2201
01:55:04,881 --> 01:55:05,880
How do you respond?
2202
01:55:05,882 --> 01:55:08,785
Let me be very, very clear.
2203
01:55:10,186 --> 01:55:13,720
I do not support gay marriage.
2204
01:55:13,722 --> 01:55:17,658
I believe that marriage
is between a man and a woma.
2205
01:55:17,660 --> 01:55:19,093
But you've always claimed
2206
01:55:19,095 --> 01:55:20,760
gay marriage is a state issue.
2207
01:55:20,762 --> 01:55:24,197
Your opponent claims
this is an equivocation.
2208
01:55:24,199 --> 01:55:25,700
All right,
I'm cutting the aorta.
2209
01:55:25,702 --> 01:55:27,201
Do you have
the specimen bowl ready?
2210
01:55:27,203 --> 01:55:28,635
It's on the field.
2211
01:55:28,637 --> 01:55:30,470
All right.
Here's the heart.
2212
01:55:30,472 --> 01:55:31,738
The thing is, Mom, I know
that Liz wouldn't have done
2213
01:55:31,740 --> 01:55:33,874
any of this if you
and Dad didn't approve.
2214
01:55:33,876 --> 01:55:35,276
So...
2215
01:55:35,278 --> 01:55:36,676
I can't believe
you would do th...
2216
01:55:36,678 --> 01:55:38,444
I really thought
there was a limit to...
2217
01:55:38,446 --> 01:55:40,982
No, now you're
just being hysterical,
2218
01:55:40,984 --> 01:55:43,149
and I can't talk to you
when you get this way.
2219
01:55:43,151 --> 01:55:46,420
You need to settle down. Okay?
2220
01:55:46,422 --> 01:55:48,022
You're being hysterical.
2221
01:55:48,024 --> 01:55:50,256
Bypass is on standby.
2222
01:55:50,258 --> 01:55:51,791
Is it in three?
2223
01:55:51,793 --> 01:55:53,363
I'll have it
waiting right here.
2224
01:56:28,364 --> 01:56:30,831
All right,
some suction. Some suction.
2225
01:56:30,833 --> 01:56:32,035
Damn.
2226
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:06,369
All right. We're almost there.
2227
01:57:20,016 --> 01:57:21,051
Dad.
2228
01:57:41,369 --> 01:57:43,872
Just breathe, baby.
I love you.
2229
01:58:43,632 --> 01:58:45,568
Patient's heart rate is stable.
2230
01:58:46,534 --> 01:58:48,069
Blood pressure increasing.
2231
01:58:49,004 --> 01:58:51,404
I'm gonna notify the family.
What should I tell them?
2232
01:58:51,406 --> 01:58:53,040
Tell them
the patient's doing well.
2233
01:58:53,042 --> 01:58:55,108
- Okay.
- We should be done in a half-hour.
2234
01:59:27,243 --> 01:59:28,575
Mr. Vice President.
2235
01:59:28,577 --> 01:59:30,344
This must be
the right place.
2236
01:59:30,346 --> 01:59:31,711
Yes.
2237
01:59:31,713 --> 01:59:33,479
- Hello, Martha.
- Hi.
2238
01:59:33,481 --> 01:59:34,782
- Nice to meet you.
- Pleasure.
2239
01:59:34,784 --> 01:59:37,617
Have a seat right there.
2240
01:59:37,619 --> 01:59:42,490
So, um, is it gonna be just,
uh, me on camera or...
2241
01:59:42,492 --> 01:59:45,024
Primarily you.
We'll cut back to me.
2242
01:59:45,026 --> 01:59:46,493
Eddie's got you
with the A camera.
2243
01:59:46,495 --> 01:59:48,528
I'm just gonna be...
All right.
2244
02:00:18,660 --> 02:00:20,230
- Ready?
- Hmm.
2245
02:00:22,464 --> 02:00:23,863
Two-thirds of Americans say
2246
02:00:23,865 --> 02:00:27,401
the Iraq War
is not worth fighting.
2247
02:00:27,403 --> 02:00:29,804
And they're looking
at the value gained
2248
02:00:29,806 --> 02:00:32,072
versus the cost
in American lives
2249
02:00:32,074 --> 02:00:33,506
and Iraqi lives.
2250
02:00:33,508 --> 02:00:34,810
So?
2251
02:00:36,110 --> 02:00:39,615
So, don't you care what
the American people think?
2252
02:00:40,748 --> 02:00:44,550
No, uh,
I think you, uh,
2253
02:00:44,552 --> 02:00:47,219
cannot be, uh,
2254
02:00:47,221 --> 02:00:48,724
blown off course.
2255
02:00:57,565 --> 02:01:01,703
I can feel
your recriminations...
2256
02:01:03,038 --> 02:01:04,172
and your judgment...
2257
02:01:05,207 --> 02:01:06,776
and I am fine with it.
2258
02:01:09,212 --> 02:01:12,549
You want to be loved,
go be a movie star.
2259
02:01:14,615 --> 02:01:17,751
The world is as you find it.
2260
02:01:17,753 --> 02:01:20,755
You gotta deal
with that reality.
2261
02:01:20,757 --> 02:01:23,490
And there are monsters
in this world.
2262
02:01:23,492 --> 02:01:28,828
We saw 3,000 innocent people
2263
02:01:28,830 --> 02:01:31,831
burned to death
by those monsters.
2264
02:01:31,833 --> 02:01:33,569
And yet you object...
2265
02:01:34,403 --> 02:01:35,801
when I refuse
2266
02:01:35,803 --> 02:01:38,337
to kiss those monsters
on the cheek
2267
02:01:38,339 --> 02:01:40,706
and say "pretty please."
2268
02:01:40,708 --> 02:01:42,143
You answer me this.
2269
02:01:42,145 --> 02:01:46,947
What terrorist attack
would you have let go forward
2270
02:01:46,949 --> 02:01:51,320
so you wouldn't seem like
a mean and nasty fella?
2271
02:01:52,922 --> 02:01:55,158
I will not apologize...
2272
02:01:56,592 --> 02:01:58,294
for keeping your family safe.
2273
02:01:59,595 --> 02:02:01,396
And I will not apologize...
2274
02:02:02,164 --> 02:02:04,934
for doing what needed
to be done...
2275
02:02:06,334 --> 02:02:08,368
so that your loved ones
2276
02:02:08,370 --> 02:02:10,073
can sleep peaceably at night.
2277
02:02:17,413 --> 02:02:18,781
Has been my honor...
2278
02:02:20,149 --> 02:02:21,351
to be your servant.
2279
02:02:23,552 --> 02:02:24,921
You chose me...
2280
02:02:26,489 --> 02:02:29,392
and I did what you asked.

Sorry to interrupt,
But Mark wanted
2302
02:05:24,732 --> 02:05:26,099
to share something
with everyone.
2303
02:05:26,101 --> 02:05:28,702
Something's been bothering me
this whole movie,
2304
02:05:28,704 --> 02:05:30,770
and I just figured it out.
2305
02:05:30,772 --> 02:05:32,673
The whole thing's liberal.
2306
02:05:32,675 --> 02:05:34,474
It's got a liberal bias.
2307
02:05:34,476 --> 02:05:37,046
Interesting. Does anyone else
feel that way?
2308
02:05:38,047 --> 02:05:40,680
One, two, three, four people.
Yeah, go ahead.
2309
02:05:40,682 --> 02:05:42,916
It's all facts. Right?
2310
02:05:42,918 --> 02:05:46,385
I mean, they had to vet all this with
a lawyer. How does that make it...
2311
02:05:46,387 --> 02:05:49,889
- What's liberal about that?
- You would say that, lib-tard.
2312
02:05:49,891 --> 02:05:51,523
Okay, I'm sorry.
2313
02:05:51,525 --> 02:05:53,827
So, because I have the ability
to understand facts,
2314
02:05:53,829 --> 02:05:55,027
that makes me a liberal?
2315
02:05:55,029 --> 02:05:56,563
Okay, guys,
let's just take it down.
2316
02:05:56,565 --> 02:05:58,398
You probably like Hillary.
2317
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:00,134
- Let's take it down a notch or two, okay?
- Idiot.
2318
02:06:00,136 --> 02:06:02,501
Okay, first of all,
Hillary's not president. Okay?
2319
02:06:02,503 --> 02:06:05,471
The-the-the orange Cheeto
that you hired
2320
02:06:05,473 --> 02:06:06,906
is the president
and he's ruining the country...
2321
02:06:06,908 --> 02:06:08,942
Trump is the best thing
in this country.
2322
02:06:08,944 --> 02:06:10,010
You chicken-shit!
2323
02:06:10,012 --> 02:06:11,844
John! Now, come in, please.
2324
02:06:11,846 --> 02:06:13,279
Hey, guys, come on.
2325
02:06:13,281 --> 02:06:16,215
- Guys! Guys!
- Stop it. Knock it off!
2326
02:06:16,217 --> 02:06:17,951
I can't wait to see the new
Fast and the Furious movie.
2327
02:06:17,953 --> 02:06:19,622
That looks lit.
2328
02:06:19,624 --> 02:06:24,624
