Previously on The West Wing...

00:00:08,442 --> 00:00:10,187
Just-just don't
say anything for a...
3
00:00:10,211 --> 00:00:11,621
just don't say anything for...
4
00:00:11,645 --> 00:00:12,889
The sooner you get
5
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:14,157
I know what I'm talking about,
6
00:00:14,181 --> 00:00:15,792
the sooner your
world gets better.
7
00:00:15,816 --> 00:00:16,998
If we announce in two weeks,
8
00:00:17,034 --> 00:00:19,768
that's when the first round of
subpoenas will be handed down.
9
00:00:19,804 --> 00:00:21,369
Screw it. It's game
time. Let's go.
10
00:00:31,248 --> 00:00:33,688
There he is!
11
00:00:41,592 --> 00:00:42,891
Mr. Rollins, Mr. Rollins,
12
00:00:42,926 --> 00:00:44,904
can you tell us when subpoenas
are going to be issued?
13
00:00:44,928 --> 00:00:46,094
No, I can't.
14
00:00:46,129 --> 00:00:48,207
Can you tell us if subpoenas
are going to be issued at all?
15
00:00:48,231 --> 00:00:49,231
No, I can't.
16
00:00:55,356 --> 00:00:56,867
We've shown
nothing but good faith.
17
00:00:56,891 --> 00:00:58,368
Mr. Babish. Nothing
but good faith, Clem.
18
00:00:58,392 --> 00:00:59,535
Do you want to speak privately?
19
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,804
Why am I reading that subpoenas
are about to be handed out?
20
00:01:01,828 --> 00:01:04,229
Look, first of all, your office
is leaking like a rowboat.
21
00:01:04,265 --> 00:01:05,441
You got a complaint?
22
00:01:05,465 --> 00:01:07,277
Yes, I do, and I just filed
it in the U.S. District Court.
23
00:01:07,301 --> 00:01:08,745
That's not what I'm
here to talk to you about.
24
00:01:08,769 --> 00:01:10,013
The leaks aren't
coming from the jurors.
25
00:01:10,037 --> 00:01:11,181
They don't even
know why they're here.
26
00:01:11,205 --> 00:01:12,415
You were able to
impanel a Grand Jury
27
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,150
without telling them what
they were showing up for?
28
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:15,907
Voir dire was entirely fair...
29
00:01:15,942 --> 00:01:17,876
if anything, favored
the subjects.
30
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:19,944
What you've been
reading is the work
31
00:01:19,980 --> 00:01:22,714
of a few over-zealous
and irresponsible members
32
00:01:22,750 --> 00:01:25,366
of the conservative press
in minor media outlets...
33
00:01:25,402 --> 00:01:26,868
It's the Wall Street Journal!
34
00:01:26,904 --> 00:01:29,015
The White House has
been cooperating fully.
35
00:01:29,039 --> 00:01:31,034
We'll voluntarily
hand over everything
36
00:01:31,058 --> 00:01:32,241
a subpoena could cover.
37
00:01:32,276 --> 00:01:35,377
My staff is working around
the clock organizing documents.
38
00:01:35,412 --> 00:01:36,472
And if your staff feels
39
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:38,224
something's protected
by Executive Privilege?
40
00:01:38,248 --> 00:01:40,209
What if I told you the
President was considering
41
00:01:40,233 --> 00:01:41,394
waiving Executive Privilege?
42
00:01:41,418 --> 00:01:43,113
Is he waiving
attorney-client privilege?
43
00:01:43,137 --> 00:01:45,104
Spousal privilege? I'm saying...
44
00:01:45,139 --> 00:01:46,432
How about
doctor-patient privilege?
45
00:01:46,456 --> 00:01:48,940
Clem, they have shown
nothing but good faith.
46
00:01:48,976 --> 00:01:52,427
I can't give out
extra credit for that.
47
00:02:00,321 --> 00:02:01,519
Let's go.
48
00:02:27,932 --> 00:02:29,258
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
49
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:30,649
My name is Clement Rollins.
50
00:02:30,684 --> 00:02:31,983
I'm the Special Prosecutor
51
00:02:32,018 --> 00:02:34,386
appointed by the United
States Attorney General
52
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:40,291
in the matter of Docket
CR-SP-0-0-1-0-1.
53
00:02:40,327 --> 00:02:42,572
This morning, with your
permission and on your behalf,
54
00:02:42,596 --> 00:02:45,664
I would like to issue the
first round of subpoenas.
55
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:47,932
These subpoenas
compel both testimony
56
00:02:47,968 --> 00:02:52,270
and production of documents
by the individuals named herein.
57
00:02:52,305 --> 00:02:54,305
They are as follows:
58
00:02:56,744 --> 00:02:58,443
"Josiah Bartlet,
59
00:02:58,479 --> 00:03:00,712
"Abigail Ann Bartlet,
60
00:03:00,748 --> 00:03:02,714
"Elizabeth Bartlet Westin,
61
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:05,083
"Eleanor Emily Bartlet,
62
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:07,151
"Zoey Patricia Bartlet
63
00:03:07,187 --> 00:03:08,953
"Leo Thomas McGarry,
64
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:11,089
"Joshua Lyman,
65
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:12,724
"Claudia Jean Cregg,
66
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,926
"Samuel Norman Seaborn,
67
00:03:14,961 --> 00:03:16,728
Toby Zachary Ziegler..."

by WARNER BROS.
69
00:04:12,202 --> 00:04:13,502
Donna?
70
00:04:13,537 --> 00:04:14,836
Yeah?
71
00:04:14,871 --> 00:04:15,837
What's going on?
72
00:04:15,872 --> 00:04:17,105
Well, in one of these boxes
73
00:04:17,141 --> 00:04:18,784
are the President's
private schedules,
74
00:04:18,808 --> 00:04:19,974
and in one of these boxes
75
00:04:20,010 --> 00:04:21,271
are his publicly-
issued schedules
76
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:23,005
to see if there are
inconsistencies between the two.
77
00:04:23,029 --> 00:04:24,012
Were you here all night?
78
00:04:24,048 --> 00:04:25,308
Is it daytime? It's 7:30.
79
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:27,733
Usually when I stay up
all night, I'm able to pass
80
00:04:27,768 --> 00:04:30,168
a 19th Century English
Literature midterm. Josh?
81
00:04:30,203 --> 00:04:31,203
Yeah?
82
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:32,220
I'm not going to have to take
83
00:04:32,255 --> 00:04:33,499
an English Literature
midterm, am I?
84
00:04:33,523 --> 00:04:34,834
No. 'Cause in one of these boxes
85
00:04:34,858 --> 00:04:36,324
are memos and handwritten notes
86
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,370
pertaining to the President's
100,000 new teachers initiate
87
00:04:38,394 --> 00:04:39,906
since it's a major
policy initiative launched
88
00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,174
right after a
suspected MS attack.
89
00:04:41,198 --> 00:04:42,747
Can I ask you something?
90
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:43,532
I had a plan.
91
00:04:43,567 --> 00:04:44,699
When you say
92
00:04:44,735 --> 00:04:46,985
"in one of these boxes..."?
93
00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:48,314
I had a plan. Each
box is numbered.
94
00:04:48,338 --> 00:04:49,471
There's a piece of paper
95
00:04:49,506 --> 00:04:51,116
with a number and a
corresponding description
96
00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:52,485
of the contents of each box.
97
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:54,389
Well, where's the
piece of paper?
98
00:04:55,579 --> 00:04:58,029
It's in one of these boxes.
99
00:04:58,064 --> 00:05:00,665
I had a plan.
100
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,633
I grew up on a farm.
101
00:05:02,669 --> 00:05:04,035
You grew up in a condo.
102
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:06,187
I grew up near a farm.
103
00:05:06,222 --> 00:05:08,200
And I was cute, and I was
peppy, and I always did well
104
00:05:08,224 --> 00:05:10,103
on my 19th Century
English Literature midterm
105
00:05:10,127 --> 00:05:12,828
till you came along and
sucked me into your life of crime.
106
00:05:12,863 --> 00:05:13,895
Hey, I'm not the...
107
00:05:13,931 --> 00:05:15,731
White-collar crime boy.
108
00:05:15,766 --> 00:05:16,993
You know what they do to a girl
109
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,199
like me on that cell block?
110
00:05:18,234 --> 00:05:19,400
I've seen those movies.
111
00:05:19,436 --> 00:05:21,214
Yeah, me, too.
I'll bet you have.
112
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:23,583
Look... Sell my farm-girl
ass for a carton of Luckys.
113
00:05:23,607 --> 00:05:25,640
Seriously, you need
to sleep for a while.
114
00:05:25,675 --> 00:05:27,653
I can't yet 'cause in
one of these boxes
115
00:05:27,677 --> 00:05:29,489
are FedEx receipts
and mailroom records
116
00:05:29,513 --> 00:05:31,679
for any gifts or packages
sent to senior staff
117
00:05:31,715 --> 00:05:33,860
and in one of these
boxes is a piece of paper
118
00:05:33,884 --> 00:05:35,283
which says which box it's in!
119
00:05:35,318 --> 00:05:38,236
I'll be in the office.
120
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:40,906
Your office in down a corridor
about 200 feet from here.
121
00:05:40,941 --> 00:05:42,685
Try not to commit any
felonies on the way.
122
00:05:42,709 --> 00:05:44,521
I'll do my best. Yeah.
123
00:05:44,545 --> 00:05:46,545
Josh...
124
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:48,758
Donna's like, two, three
days away from unspooling.
125
00:05:48,782 --> 00:05:49,859
It's pretty fun to watch,
126
00:05:49,883 --> 00:05:51,728
but can you loan me
some senior assistants
127
00:05:51,752 --> 00:05:53,051
from communications?
128
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,452
Yeah. So, listen, there's a fire
129
00:05:54,487 --> 00:05:55,520
in Yellowstone Park.
130
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:56,655
Well, put it out.
131
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,557
Technically, I'm not a
professional firefighter
132
00:05:58,592 --> 00:06:00,158
though there was a
time I wanted to be.
133
00:06:00,193 --> 00:06:01,359
When?
134
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:02,694
When I was four.
135
00:06:02,729 --> 00:06:04,574
When I was four, I
wanted to be a ballerina.
136
00:06:04,598 --> 00:06:05,730
Yeah?
137
00:06:05,766 --> 00:06:08,077
I don't like to talk about it.
138
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,712
There was a dry lightning strike
139
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:11,113
in a lodgepole pine forest.
140
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:12,549
The fire spread to 500 acres,
141
00:06:12,573 --> 00:06:14,851
but it's all inside a
resource benefit zone.
142
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:15,918
Is it under control?
143
00:06:15,942 --> 00:06:17,242
Well, as a matter of fact,
144
00:06:17,277 --> 00:06:19,110
last night, the park
superintendent...
145
00:06:19,145 --> 00:06:20,779
In consultation with Bill Horton
146
00:06:20,814 --> 00:06:23,849
and several deputies from
the Department of the Interior...
147
00:06:23,884 --> 00:06:25,584
Decided to let
it run its course.
148
00:06:25,619 --> 00:06:26,918
They're letting it burn?
149
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,921
It's not necessarily our
policy to put these things out.
150
00:06:29,956 --> 00:06:32,469
Putting out fires isn't
necessarily our policy?
151
00:06:32,493 --> 00:06:35,761
Fire is good for the environment
under certain circumstances.
152
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:37,429
Forests have a natural cycle
153
00:06:37,464 --> 00:06:40,766
that requires purging
burns to reinvigorate growth.
154
00:06:40,801 --> 00:06:42,445
Someone just said
that to you, right?
155
00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:43,602
Yeah.
156
00:06:43,637 --> 00:06:44,781
What do we need to do?
157
00:06:44,805 --> 00:06:46,716
The President needs to talk
on the phone with the governor.
158
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,518
Why? So, the President can say
159
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:49,853
he talked on the
phone with the governor.
160
00:06:49,877 --> 00:06:50,842
I'll take care of it.
161
00:06:50,878 --> 00:06:51,843
Ballerina?
162
00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:53,645
I'd kind of like that
not to get around.
163
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,079
Yeah, no chance of that.
164
00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:57,126
You can emphasize that
it's not like being served.
165
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:58,294
How is it not like being served?
166
00:06:58,318 --> 00:06:59,696
A subpoena is just
a legal agreement
167
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,519
to produce certain
testimonies and documents.
168
00:07:01,555 --> 00:07:02,899
Yeah, but isn't that like the
way a mugger uses a gun
169
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:03,871
to produce your wallet?
170
00:07:03,907 --> 00:07:05,957
You say we're cooperating fully.
171
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:08,960
You say subpoenas
don't indicate otherwise.
172
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:11,863
You say they're a
commonly used legal tool
173
00:07:11,898 --> 00:07:14,299
to define the
scope of the inquiry.
174
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:15,545
Oliver, political
reporters don't care
175
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:16,535
about the scope of inquiry.
176
00:07:16,570 --> 00:07:17,614
They hear "subpoenas..."
177
00:07:17,638 --> 00:07:19,516
Look... My trouble
with your spin is that
178
00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:21,751
we're not going to get
anywhere putting on a calm face.
179
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:22,907
We need to pick a fight.
180
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:24,637
Why? Because in politics,
181
00:07:24,661 --> 00:07:26,472
if you're not on offense,
you're on defense.
182
00:07:26,496 --> 00:07:27,528
Your problem there
183
00:07:27,563 --> 00:07:29,815
is that Clem Rollins
doesn't foam at the mouth.
184
00:07:29,850 --> 00:07:33,101
He's a good guy, and he
comes off as a good guy.
185
00:07:33,136 --> 00:07:34,763
Plus, he was appointed by
your own Attorney General
186
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:37,405
which is going to make it
tough to fit him for a black hat.
187
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,740
Let me think for just a second.
188
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:44,829
What do Republicans
say about him?
189
00:07:44,864 --> 00:07:46,898
Well, we don't all
hang out at a little club...
190
00:07:46,934 --> 00:07:48,233
What do they say about him?
191
00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:50,468
He's well-respected,
he's deliberate
192
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:52,047
he takes his duties seriously,
193
00:07:52,071 --> 00:07:53,583
he wants to get at the truth,
194
00:07:53,607 --> 00:07:55,652
and he wants to
avoid any appearance
195
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:58,156
of impropriety or partisanship.
196
00:08:03,366 --> 00:08:04,665
Excuse me.
197
00:08:04,700 --> 00:08:06,801
Where are you going?
198
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:11,105
We need a different enemy.
199
00:08:11,141 --> 00:08:13,007
When are you going to
meet on the estate tax?
200
00:08:13,043 --> 00:08:14,186
Five minutes.
201
00:08:14,210 --> 00:08:15,176
With Toby?
202
00:08:15,211 --> 00:08:16,677
Yeah.
203
00:08:16,712 --> 00:08:18,512
Just remember, it's
a compromise, Josh.
204
00:08:18,548 --> 00:08:19,847
It's done.
205
00:08:19,882 --> 00:08:21,349
You may not like it, but...
206
00:08:21,384 --> 00:08:22,350
It's a compromise.
207
00:08:22,385 --> 00:08:23,517
I'm saying, the two of you,
208
00:08:23,553 --> 00:08:24,518
when you don't like something,
209
00:08:24,554 --> 00:08:25,519
have a tendency to...
210
00:08:25,555 --> 00:08:27,633
Show our displeasure?
Piss people off.
211
00:08:27,657 --> 00:08:29,290
That's a bad rap. I'm
sweet as pecan pie.
212
00:08:29,326 --> 00:08:30,624
Yeah?
213
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:32,771
I hate these people, Leo,
and when this thing is done,
214
00:08:32,795 --> 00:08:35,029
I'm going to personally
screw them with their pants on.
215
00:08:35,065 --> 00:08:36,030
Excuse me.
216
00:08:36,066 --> 00:08:37,031
Hey, C.J.
217
00:08:37,067 --> 00:08:38,032
Leo.
218
00:08:38,068 --> 00:08:39,034
Giselle...
219
00:08:39,069 --> 00:08:40,035
Yeah, I'm out of here.
220
00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:41,036
You got a second?
221
00:08:41,071 --> 00:08:42,282
Yeah. Walk with me.
222
00:08:42,306 --> 00:08:45,606
Oliver Babish and Ainsley
Hayes were just in my office.
223
00:08:45,642 --> 00:08:46,607
On spin? Yeah.
224
00:08:46,643 --> 00:08:47,608
What have you got?
225
00:08:47,644 --> 00:08:48,443
Nothing. You know why?
226
00:08:48,478 --> 00:08:49,488
Rollins likes us.
227
00:08:49,512 --> 00:08:51,391
I don't know if he likes
us, but he doesn't hate us.
228
00:08:51,415 --> 00:08:53,775
Well, that's just 'cause
he doesn't know us.
229
00:08:58,422 --> 00:08:59,854
Leo...
230
00:08:59,889 --> 00:09:01,534
we need to be
investigated by someone
231
00:09:01,558 --> 00:09:03,435
who wants to kill us
just to watch us die.
232
00:09:03,459 --> 00:09:05,654
We need someone perceived
by the American people
233
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:06,806
to be irresponsible,
234
00:09:06,830 --> 00:09:08,441
untrustworthy, partisan,
235
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:10,409
ambitious and thirsty
for the limelight.
236
00:09:10,433 --> 00:09:11,944
Am I crazy or is this not a job
237
00:09:11,968 --> 00:09:13,863
for the U.S. House
of Representatives?
238
00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:15,698
Well, they'll get around
to it sooner or later.
239
00:09:15,722 --> 00:09:16,688
So, let's make it sooner.
240
00:09:16,723 --> 00:09:17,672
Let's make it now.
241
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:19,051
Rollins is driving them crazy.
242
00:09:19,075 --> 00:09:21,353
He's moving too slow.
He won't talk to the press.
243
00:09:21,377 --> 00:09:22,588
They're ready to jump.
244
00:09:22,612 --> 00:09:26,212
I swear to God, Leo, I
think we can move the show.
245
00:09:28,118 --> 00:09:29,450
You got a briefing now?
246
00:09:29,485 --> 00:09:30,784
Yeah.
247
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:32,453
Show me what
you're starting with.
248
00:09:32,489 --> 00:09:34,488
Yeah.
249
00:09:35,925 --> 00:09:36,953
I'm leaving now.
250
00:09:36,977 --> 00:09:38,076
You need this.
251
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:39,477
Leaving for this meeting.
252
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:40,612
You don't need this.
253
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:42,458
This meeting where
I will compromise.
254
00:09:42,482 --> 00:09:43,448
Do have 1060?
255
00:09:43,483 --> 00:09:44,627
Yes, I do.
256
00:09:44,651 --> 00:09:45,795
Why do we compromise?
257
00:09:45,819 --> 00:09:47,251
Because we are ordered to.
258
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:49,353
Because compromising
on the estate tax
259
00:09:49,389 --> 00:09:52,540
prevents Republicans from
going for an even bigger tax cut,
260
00:09:52,575 --> 00:09:54,608
which would help
wrest the White House
261
00:09:54,644 --> 00:09:56,555
from our compromising
little hands.
262
00:09:56,579 --> 00:09:58,046
So, I go to this meeting...
263
00:09:58,081 --> 00:09:59,047
You need this.
264
00:09:59,082 --> 00:10:00,148
The estate tax,
265
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:02,816
which Republicans have
cleverly dubbed "The Death Tax."
266
00:10:02,852 --> 00:10:05,920
There's nothing that Republicans
do better than naming things.
267
00:10:05,955 --> 00:10:07,121
So, I go to this meeting
268
00:10:07,157 --> 00:10:09,357
because I agree with
Republicans in Congress.
269
00:10:09,392 --> 00:10:11,037
America is about
self-sufficiency,
270
00:10:11,061 --> 00:10:13,494
about lifting yourself
up by your bootstraps,
271
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:14,907
just as long as your
children's children
272
00:10:14,931 --> 00:10:16,308
never have to work
a day in their lives.
273
00:10:16,332 --> 00:10:17,465
So, I go to this meeting.
274
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,300
Toby? He's rolling.
275
00:10:19,335 --> 00:10:21,180
Oh, I go to this
meeting, Ginger,
276
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:23,449
and though I compromise,
I draw a line in the sand.
277
00:10:23,473 --> 00:10:25,351
I'm there to ensure that
only multimillionaires
278
00:10:25,375 --> 00:10:27,486
and not billionaires are
exempt from the estate tax.
279
00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:28,476
Toby!
280
00:10:28,511 --> 00:10:29,810
Re-elect the President, Bonnie.
281
00:10:29,845 --> 00:10:32,158
He's on the side of
millionaires and not billionaires.
282
00:10:32,182 --> 00:10:33,709
Toby, they canceled the meeting!
283
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:35,033
What do you mean?
284
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:36,345
It's the chairman's office.
285
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:37,847
They're canceling the meeting.
286
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:39,003
Why?
287
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:40,338
They canceled the meeting.
288
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:42,340
Bonnie's got them on the phone.
289
00:10:42,375 --> 00:10:43,674
What's going on?
290
00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:46,010
They say it's his
daughter's wedding.
291
00:10:46,046 --> 00:10:48,479
His daughter's
wedding's on Saturday.
292
00:10:48,514 --> 00:10:50,181
They say he wants
to leave early.
293
00:10:50,217 --> 00:10:51,777
They're lying. I know.
294
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,387
What's going on?
295
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:00,736
I think they want to
take it off the table.
296
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,210
And do what?
297
00:11:02,245 --> 00:11:04,729
White House is weak.
298
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:06,080
What would you do?
299
00:11:06,116 --> 00:11:10,134
You think they want
to repeal the estate tax?
300
00:11:16,826 --> 00:11:18,037
Good morning.
301
00:11:18,061 --> 00:11:19,655
C.J., is the White
House concerned
302
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,644
about the subpoenas?
303
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,158
No. In fact, we've
already sent over
304
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:23,592
80 cartons of
documents to Clem...
305
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,416
I'm sorry, to Mr. Rollins...
306
00:11:25,451 --> 00:11:27,596
80 cartons of documents
that weren't even subpoenaed
307
00:11:27,620 --> 00:11:29,165
and we intend to
continue cooperating
308
00:11:29,189 --> 00:11:30,332
with him fully. Bobbi?
309
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:31,923
Why where the
subpoenas necessary?
310
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:33,569
They're a commonly
used legal tool
311
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,604
to define the scope
of the inquiry. Steve?
312
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:37,195
What about
congressional hearings?
313
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:39,563
Well, obviously, we don't
think they're necessary
314
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:40,998
but that's not for us to say.
315
00:11:41,034 --> 00:11:42,366
And we take a different view
316
00:11:42,401 --> 00:11:43,979
than congressional
Republicans do
317
00:11:44,003 --> 00:11:46,337
of the Special Prosecutor's
performance thus far.
318
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,338
We believe he's running
319
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:48,851
a thorough and
impartial investigation
320
00:11:48,875 --> 00:11:50,686
and he should be
allowed to finish his work.
321
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:51,675
I'm sorry, C.J.
322
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,189
You say a "different view."
323
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:55,174
Is Congress unhappy with
the Special Prosecutor?
324
00:11:55,198 --> 00:11:56,759
You'd have to ask
Congress that. Mark?
325
00:11:56,783 --> 00:11:58,995
C.J., can you comment on
the contents of the 80 cartons
326
00:11:59,019 --> 00:12:01,579
already sent to the
Special Prosecutor?
327
00:12:25,394 --> 00:12:27,639
You still don't know
my name, do you?
328
00:12:27,663 --> 00:12:28,629
It's Gertrude.
329
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:30,115
It's not.
330
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:31,150
Calls?
331
00:12:31,184 --> 00:12:32,428
I need to talk to you.
332
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:34,719
This estate tax repeal
out of committee
333
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:36,020
is going to be a thing.
334
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:37,421
I've got another thing.
335
00:12:37,457 --> 00:12:39,958
Bruno, they canceled
the meeting yesterday.
336
00:12:39,993 --> 00:12:42,326
We think the House
Republicans are going
337
00:12:42,362 --> 00:12:44,229
to try to repeal the estate tax.
338
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:47,265
The Pacers played last night
against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
339
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:48,711
Really? Who won? Yeah.
340
00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:50,113
Indiana by five in
double overtime.
341
00:12:50,137 --> 00:12:53,471
Well, now the repeal of the estate
tax seems somehow insignificant.
342
00:12:53,507 --> 00:12:54,533
Can I stick this in?
343
00:12:54,557 --> 00:12:56,090
Yeah.
344
00:13:02,616 --> 00:13:03,581
You paying attention?
345
00:13:03,617 --> 00:13:04,916
Yeah.
346
00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:07,752
Does this thing work?
347
00:13:07,787 --> 00:13:09,336
No.
348
00:13:09,372 --> 00:13:11,684
Okay. If it did, what you'd see
349
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:15,476
is Victor Campos sitting
courtside with Buckland.
350
00:13:15,511 --> 00:13:17,928
Campos took some
courtside seats.
351
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:20,242
Campos traveled from
Los Angeles to Indianapolis
352
00:13:20,266 --> 00:13:21,727
to watch Cleveland in Indiana.
353
00:13:21,751 --> 00:13:23,495
They don't travel from Cleveland
354
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,381
to Indianapolis to watch
Cleveland and Indiana.
355
00:13:25,405 --> 00:13:27,049
I don't care if they
gave Campos a jersey
356
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:28,234
and let him play point guard.
357
00:13:28,258 --> 00:13:29,306
He loves the President.
358
00:13:29,342 --> 00:13:31,025
He got the California
primary for him.
359
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:33,478
He's dating Buckland now.
360
00:13:33,513 --> 00:13:35,162
Because they went
to a basketball game?
361
00:13:35,197 --> 00:13:37,109
The President's Community
Empowerment Board?
362
00:13:37,133 --> 00:13:38,549
Yes.
363
00:13:38,584 --> 00:13:41,080
The board helps run the
President's initiative to steer private
364
00:13:41,104 --> 00:13:42,915
investment jobs
to inner cities? Yes.
365
00:13:42,939 --> 00:13:44,700
This commission's
his dream come true.
366
00:13:44,724 --> 00:13:46,257
And we gave him a seat on it.
367
00:13:46,293 --> 00:13:47,573
And he turned you down.
368
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:52,496
He turned you down.
369
00:13:52,532 --> 00:13:54,815
When?
370
00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:55,911
Shortly after... The game ended
371
00:13:55,935 --> 00:13:57,434
in double overtime.
372
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:59,604
Ah, damn it!
373
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:00,639
Margaret!
374
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:03,841
Margaret, Margaret.
375
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:08,112
Yeah, okay.
376
00:14:08,147 --> 00:14:11,110
Okay, Jamie, I have
to get off. Thanks.
377
00:14:11,134 --> 00:14:13,501
The fire's at 1,500 acres.
378
00:14:13,536 --> 00:14:15,703
Sam, Victor Campos
had a meeting last night
379
00:14:15,738 --> 00:14:16,804
with Jack Buckland
380
00:14:16,839 --> 00:14:19,256
then he passed on the
Community Empowerment Board.
381
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:22,110
Really? Yeah.
382
00:14:22,145 --> 00:14:23,122
What do you think he's doing?
383
00:14:23,146 --> 00:14:24,907
Can you set up a
meeting for me? Yeah.
384
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:26,158
I want one of my
people there with him.
385
00:14:26,182 --> 00:14:27,148
At the meeting?
386
00:14:27,183 --> 00:14:28,149
Yeah. Why?
387
00:14:28,184 --> 00:14:29,428
'Cause I do. Sam can do this.
388
00:14:29,452 --> 00:14:30,384
I'm not saying he can't
389
00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:31,785
but I want one of
my people there
390
00:14:31,821 --> 00:14:33,421
to make sure I get
the story straight.
391
00:14:33,456 --> 00:14:35,200
Sam will have the
meeting and report back.
392
00:14:35,224 --> 00:14:36,224
Sam will have the meeting
393
00:14:36,259 --> 00:14:37,691
and one of my
people will be there
394
00:14:37,726 --> 00:14:38,826
and they will report back.
395
00:14:38,861 --> 00:14:40,661
Time to distinguish
between the White House
396
00:14:40,696 --> 00:14:41,662
and the campaign.
397
00:14:41,698 --> 00:14:42,880
Sam does this for us.
398
00:14:42,915 --> 00:14:44,026
Does he do it right?
399
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:45,149
Oftentimes.
400
00:14:45,184 --> 00:14:46,979
You guys know I'm
sitting right here, right?
401
00:14:47,003 --> 00:14:49,636
We're going to set up a meeting.
402
00:14:49,672 --> 00:14:50,371
Okay.
403
00:14:50,406 --> 00:14:52,634
And we might want to think
404
00:14:52,658 --> 00:14:54,742
about putting this fire out.
405
00:14:58,999 --> 00:14:59,964
Donna?
406
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,277
Don't touch that
stack over there.
407
00:15:01,301 --> 00:15:02,333
I heard you need help.
408
00:15:02,369 --> 00:15:03,946
That stock is the
Secret Service logs
409
00:15:03,970 --> 00:15:05,781
of all visitors who came into
the building to see Charlie.
410
00:15:05,805 --> 00:15:07,216
You feel like being
fixed up with a hot guy.
411
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,206
As opposed to this stack
412
00:15:08,241 --> 00:15:09,285
which is the Secret
Service logs...
413
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:10,275
What did you say?
414
00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:11,342
His name is Cliff Calley.
415
00:15:11,378 --> 00:15:12,388
We went to law school together
416
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:13,622
and he broke up
with his girlfriend.
417
00:15:13,646 --> 00:15:14,612
Where does he work?
418
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,391
He's cute as hell.
Where does he work?
419
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:17,526
On the Hill. House
Ways and Means.
420
00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:19,662
He works in the Minority
Counsel's office? Not exactly.
421
00:15:19,686 --> 00:15:20,651
Where does he work?
422
00:15:20,687 --> 00:15:21,652
Let me say this.
423
00:15:21,688 --> 00:15:23,032
He works with the
Minority Counsel's office.
424
00:15:23,056 --> 00:15:24,021
Ainsley...
425
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:25,701
He works for the
Majority Counsel's office.
426
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:26,707
He's a Republican.
427
00:15:26,743 --> 00:15:27,925
We are the majority.
428
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:28,926
By a very small margin.
429
00:15:28,962 --> 00:15:30,106
He works for the
Majority Counsel's office
430
00:15:30,130 --> 00:15:31,207
in Ways and Means? Yes.
431
00:15:31,231 --> 00:15:32,474
Josh is in a 12-round
fight with Ways and Means.
432
00:15:32,498 --> 00:15:33,714
If you're not comfortable...
433
00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:35,727
Josh, who picked
me out of nowhere
434
00:15:35,751 --> 00:15:37,118
who works day and night
435
00:15:37,153 --> 00:15:39,248
and is under more
pressure than ever
436
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:40,833
and who hates these people.
437
00:15:40,857 --> 00:15:42,385
I don't know. Is he funny?
438
00:15:42,409 --> 00:15:44,809
Yeah. Should I
tell him to call you?
439
00:15:44,844 --> 00:15:45,826
He can call me if he wants
440
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:47,139
but I'm just, you
know, phone rings
441
00:15:47,163 --> 00:15:48,306
I answer it, could be anybody.
442
00:15:48,330 --> 00:15:49,296
Okay.
443
00:15:49,331 --> 00:15:50,611
Don't touch that stack.
444
00:15:51,333 --> 00:15:52,299
I was just coming to see you.
445
00:15:52,334 --> 00:15:53,300
What do you need?
446
00:15:53,335 --> 00:15:54,613
I'm putting you on
Capitol Beat tonight.
447
00:15:54,637 --> 00:15:55,681
The subpoenas.
448
00:15:55,705 --> 00:15:56,670
"Clem Rollins is running..."
449
00:15:56,706 --> 00:15:57,671
Listen to me.
450
00:15:57,707 --> 00:15:59,707
"Clem Rollins is
running a thorough, fair
451
00:15:59,742 --> 00:16:01,041
"and impartial investigation.
452
00:16:01,076 --> 00:16:02,543
He's a man of great integrity."
453
00:16:02,578 --> 00:16:05,312
"We're willing to cooperate
with the Special Prosecutor."
454
00:16:05,347 --> 00:16:07,343
"We're eager to cooperate
with the Special Prosecutor."
455
00:16:07,367 --> 00:16:09,233
Don't oversell it.
456
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,271
I need to bring Victor
Campos out here.
457
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:15,373
What do you got?
458
00:16:15,408 --> 00:16:16,585
They're gonna
introduce racial profiling.
459
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:17,686
15-minute op in the Rose Garden.
460
00:16:17,710 --> 00:16:19,621
Campos has 48 pictures
in the Rose Garden.
461
00:16:19,645 --> 00:16:21,245
Senate hearings
on trade agreements
462
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,546
between the U.S. and Brazil.
463
00:16:22,581 --> 00:16:25,383
Campos can discuss his
objections to the President's position.
464
00:16:25,418 --> 00:16:26,761
I don't want to remind people
465
00:16:26,785 --> 00:16:28,897
that Campos objects to
his position. What else?
466
00:16:28,921 --> 00:16:30,287
I don't... Hey, you know what?
467
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:31,822
The unveiling of
the HELP initiative.
468
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:32,823
HELP?
469
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:35,037
Hispanic Education
Longevity Program.
470
00:16:35,061 --> 00:16:36,605
It lowers the dropout rate
471
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:38,540
for Latino high school students.
472
00:16:38,564 --> 00:16:40,042
Man, you've got a killer
body. You know that?
473
00:16:40,066 --> 00:16:42,033
In fact, I do.
474
00:16:42,068 --> 00:16:43,734
Good morning. Before I forget
475
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:46,437
Victor Campos has been
added to the guest list
476
00:16:46,472 --> 00:16:47,472
for the unveiling
477
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:50,107
of the Hispanic Education
Longevity Program.
478
00:16:50,143 --> 00:16:52,609
That's Thursday, day
after tomorrow. Mark?
479
00:16:52,645 --> 00:16:54,589
C.J., is the White House
filing any complaints
480
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:57,092
over the leaks coming from
the Special Prosecutor's office?
481
00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:58,249
None that I'm aware of.
482
00:16:58,284 --> 00:17:00,262
I can tell you that Oliver
Babish and Mr. Rollins
483
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:02,431
have had several productive
conversations about that.
484
00:17:02,455 --> 00:17:03,421
Do they speak often?
485
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:04,583
Well, they're old friends.
486
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:08,058
What was the compromise
that was on the table?
487
00:17:08,094 --> 00:17:09,276
Right now, if your estate's
488
00:17:09,312 --> 00:17:11,562
worth less than a million
dollars, you're exempt.
489
00:17:11,598 --> 00:17:12,624
The Republicans
wanted $5 million
490
00:17:12,648 --> 00:17:13,848
they settled on $2½ million.
491
00:17:13,882 --> 00:17:14,848
Seems reasonable.
492
00:17:14,883 --> 00:17:16,016
It wasn't reasonable.
493
00:17:16,051 --> 00:17:17,184
Look...
494
00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:19,052
It wasn't in driving
distance of reasonable.
495
00:17:19,088 --> 00:17:21,222
These people have paid
taxes on this money already.
496
00:17:21,257 --> 00:17:22,223
They paid it in income tax
497
00:17:22,258 --> 00:17:23,802
they paid it in property
tax capital gains.
498
00:17:23,826 --> 00:17:24,792
They got to pay...
499
00:17:24,827 --> 00:17:25,860
Don't say it.
500
00:17:25,895 --> 00:17:27,227
A death tax?
501
00:17:27,262 --> 00:17:28,874
98% of estates
pay no taxes at all.
502
00:17:28,898 --> 00:17:30,926
We're talking about
people who are loaded.
503
00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:32,845
You think just because
people can afford a tax
504
00:17:32,869 --> 00:17:33,934
it should be levied?
505
00:17:33,970 --> 00:17:35,648
If we're going to spend
millions of dollars on tax breaks
506
00:17:35,672 --> 00:17:36,637
we should consider spending it
507
00:17:36,673 --> 00:17:38,017
on people who don't
have millions of dollars.
508
00:17:38,041 --> 00:17:39,384
A million dollars isn't
what it used to be.
509
00:17:39,408 --> 00:17:41,448
And they don't make
good yachts anymore.
510
00:17:44,380 --> 00:17:46,347
What'd they say?
511
00:17:46,382 --> 00:17:48,193
The meeting's not
going to be rescheduled.
512
00:17:48,217 --> 00:17:49,566
How do they know?
513
00:17:49,602 --> 00:17:53,137
Legislative Affairs has it from
three rural House Democrats
514
00:17:53,172 --> 00:17:55,656
that Ways and Means
is trolling for votes.
515
00:17:55,691 --> 00:17:56,731
On a complete repeal?
516
00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:57,475
Yeah.
517
00:17:57,510 --> 00:18:00,060
Huh.
518
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:05,283
Screw it. We went
from a million to two-five.
519
00:18:05,318 --> 00:18:07,752
What if we throw in another...?
520
00:18:07,787 --> 00:18:09,498
Nah. I'm saying maybe
521
00:18:09,522 --> 00:18:10,721
we expand the compromise...
522
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,301
They're not going to
reschedule the meeting.
523
00:18:12,325 --> 00:18:13,319
How do we know until we...?
524
00:18:13,343 --> 00:18:14,875
Because it's not
about the estate tax.
525
00:18:17,179 --> 00:18:18,345
They want what they want
526
00:18:18,381 --> 00:18:20,492
and they can get what
they want now, right?
527
00:18:20,516 --> 00:18:23,950
The meeting's not
going to be rescheduled.
528
00:18:25,604 --> 00:18:27,387
What do you think?
529
00:18:27,423 --> 00:18:29,090
I can tell you what he thinks.
530
00:18:29,125 --> 00:18:30,557
He thinks we roll with it.
531
00:18:30,593 --> 00:18:33,194
He thinks a president
can't be against tax cuts
532
00:18:33,229 --> 00:18:34,328
in an election year.
533
00:18:34,363 --> 00:18:36,797
He thinks since our
key districts have farms
534
00:18:36,833 --> 00:18:39,350
that are going to be
inherited, we have to...
535
00:18:39,385 --> 00:18:40,668
Huh.
536
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:43,036
He thinks we roll with it.
537
00:18:46,308 --> 00:18:51,496
I think... he should
take out the A-bomb.
538
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,331
I think he's got to do something
539
00:18:53,366 --> 00:18:54,982
he's never done
even once before.
540
00:18:55,017 --> 00:18:56,100
"You think I'm weak?
541
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:58,836
How about I shove Article
1, Section 7 up your ass?"
542
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,470
Screw the compromise.
543
00:19:01,924 --> 00:19:03,791
I think he's got to veto.
544
00:19:14,286 --> 00:19:18,722
Toby, I just... don't know
545
00:19:18,757 --> 00:19:22,259
on how many fronts
we can fight a war.
546
00:19:25,581 --> 00:19:27,782
You want to find out?
547
00:19:29,369 --> 00:19:31,352
Yeah.
548
00:19:54,877 --> 00:19:56,676
C.J.
549
00:19:56,712 --> 00:19:58,512
We had a meeting at OEOB.
550
00:19:58,548 --> 00:20:01,231
We were going to
come by and see you.
551
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:02,644
There's some
concern on the Hill.
552
00:20:02,668 --> 00:20:04,847
About what? The
last couple of days
553
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:07,321
the press has been
real soft on Rollins.
554
00:20:07,356 --> 00:20:08,956
Particularly with regard
555
00:20:08,991 --> 00:20:10,702
to his relationship
to the White House.
556
00:20:10,726 --> 00:20:12,776
And there's concern on the Hill?
557
00:20:12,812 --> 00:20:14,556
Democrats are worried
Republicans'll use this
558
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:15,980
as an excuse to
start their hearings
559
00:20:16,015 --> 00:20:17,548
earlier than expected.
560
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:19,511
We're just saying if the
White House could seem
561
00:20:19,535 --> 00:20:20,912
a little less eager to cooperate
562
00:20:20,936 --> 00:20:23,015
a little less confident
in the guy's integrity...
563
00:20:23,039 --> 00:20:24,871
Yeah. And if you could
564
00:20:24,907 --> 00:20:26,740
downplay his
friendship with Babish.
565
00:20:26,775 --> 00:20:28,091
Have a good night.
566
00:20:28,127 --> 00:20:29,693
You, too.
567
00:20:35,367 --> 00:20:37,212
How'd the call with
the Governor go?
568
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:38,502
It didn't go that well.
569
00:20:38,537 --> 00:20:39,503
Why not?
570
00:20:39,538 --> 00:20:41,205
He's demanding
we put the fire out.
571
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,874
The President tried to calm him
down, but he kept accusing us
572
00:20:43,909 --> 00:20:46,077
of advocating "fringe
environmental policies."
573
00:20:46,112 --> 00:20:47,078
Are we?
574
00:20:47,113 --> 00:20:48,745
It's not clear, but
for the moment
575
00:20:48,781 --> 00:20:51,382
the President and the Governor
had a productive conversation.
576
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:52,616
He's monitoring the situation
577
00:20:52,651 --> 00:20:54,118
with the Secretary
of the Interior.
578
00:20:54,153 --> 00:20:55,153
Excuse me. Hey.
579
00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:56,253
You need a haircut.
580
00:20:56,289 --> 00:20:58,422
Shouldn't you be someplace
keeping me out of jail?
581
00:20:58,458 --> 00:21:00,069
I'm taking a break.
You wanted to see me?
582
00:21:00,093 --> 00:21:02,004
You did well last night
on Capital Beat. Thanks.
583
00:21:02,028 --> 00:21:04,328
Babish and Rollins
wrote a paper together
584
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:05,896
for the Yale Law Review.
585
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:08,010
You should get it out there.
586
00:21:08,034 --> 00:21:09,200
Yeah, the problem is
587
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:11,135
I can't just make
photocopies and distribute it.
588
00:21:11,170 --> 00:21:12,620
What do you need?
589
00:21:12,655 --> 00:21:14,049
I want you to get with
one of your friends
590
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:15,550
in the press room from
a conservative paper.
591
00:21:15,574 --> 00:21:17,452
You think we have a
secret handshake, don't you?
592
00:21:17,476 --> 00:21:18,637
Do you? Yes.
593
00:21:18,661 --> 00:21:20,539
Get alone with this guy
go off the record and say
594
00:21:20,563 --> 00:21:22,541
you can't believe how the
President can be claiming
595
00:21:22,565 --> 00:21:24,759
to waive Executive Privilege
yet still reserve the right
596
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:25,978
to withhold certain documents.
597
00:21:26,002 --> 00:21:27,017
Can you do that?
598
00:21:27,053 --> 00:21:28,329
I can't believe
how the President
599
00:21:28,353 --> 00:21:30,049
can be claiming to
waive Executive Privilege
600
00:21:30,073 --> 00:21:32,400
yet still reserve the right to
withhold certain documents.
601
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:34,602
Yeah, do it quietly and kind
of shake your head in disbelief.
602
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:35,954
I can't believe
how the President
603
00:21:35,978 --> 00:21:37,472
can be claiming to
waive Executive Privilege
604
00:21:37,496 --> 00:21:39,507
and yet... You don't have
to keep shaking your head
605
00:21:39,531 --> 00:21:40,497
just at the beginning.
606
00:21:40,532 --> 00:21:42,094
I can't believe...
Okay, but think...
607
00:21:42,118 --> 00:21:43,798
Okay, I've got it. Thank you.
608
00:21:52,328 --> 00:21:54,528
Charlie?
609
00:21:56,532 --> 00:21:58,499
Yes, sir.
610
00:21:58,534 --> 00:22:00,534
Are we out of pens?
611
00:22:02,538 --> 00:22:03,970
That's a good pen.
612
00:22:04,006 --> 00:22:05,150
I need an everyday pen.
613
00:22:05,174 --> 00:22:06,540
I've got pens.
614
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:08,287
You've got crappy
pens with plastic tops.
615
00:22:08,311 --> 00:22:10,221
I need a solid pen that
feels good in my hand
616
00:22:10,245 --> 00:22:12,090
but it's not so formal
I feel like a dandy.
617
00:22:12,114 --> 00:22:13,681
I'm making some
trips to pen stores
618
00:22:13,716 --> 00:22:14,815
aren't I, Mr. President?
619
00:22:14,850 --> 00:22:16,250
I used to have the perfect pens.
620
00:22:16,285 --> 00:22:17,829
Every day, right
here in my pocket.
621
00:22:17,853 --> 00:22:18,819
I loved those pens.
622
00:22:18,854 --> 00:22:19,998
Balanced, great action.
623
00:22:20,022 --> 00:22:21,466
The paper soaked up the ink.
624
00:22:21,490 --> 00:22:23,101
What the hell
happened to those pens?
625
00:22:23,125 --> 00:22:24,458
Do they not make them anymore?
626
00:22:24,493 --> 00:22:25,926
I kept that company in business.
627
00:22:25,961 --> 00:22:27,423
Sir, when do you
think you might begin
628
00:22:27,447 --> 00:22:29,424
interviewing candidates to
replace Mrs. Landingham?
629
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:31,142
You know I just
haven't gotten to it.
630
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:33,612
The office would set up the
meeting... It's just been busy.
631
00:22:33,636 --> 00:22:34,985
Maybe we'd bring
in somebody like
632
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:36,598
a headhunter... Is
there a rush on this?
633
00:22:36,622 --> 00:22:37,855
You need a secretary, sir.
634
00:22:37,890 --> 00:22:39,001
I have five secretaries
635
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:41,003
to say nothing of the
Secretaries of State
636
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,537
Defense, Treasury and Education.
637
00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:43,739
Sir. Yeah.
638
00:22:43,763 --> 00:22:44,907
Things are getting missed.
639
00:22:44,931 --> 00:22:45,896
It's nobody's fault
640
00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:47,409
and everyone's
been trying to cover
641
00:22:47,433 --> 00:22:48,733
but things are getting missed.
642
00:22:48,768 --> 00:22:50,179
Things have been fine.
643
00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:51,313
I'm going to have dinner
644
00:22:51,337 --> 00:22:53,348
and I'll be back in
the office after, okay?
645
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:54,683
Yes, sir. You getting dinner?
646
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:55,672
Down in the mess.
647
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:56,807
I'll see you later.
648
00:22:56,843 --> 00:22:58,008
Mr. President?
649
00:22:58,044 --> 00:22:59,643
Yeah.
650
00:23:02,097 --> 00:23:04,297
She put the pen in your pocket.
651
00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:06,350
Every morning.
652
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,369
She slipped it in there.
653
00:23:22,451 --> 00:23:24,485
How you doing?
654
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,137
Good. How about you?
655
00:23:26,172 --> 00:23:27,254
Good.
656
00:23:27,290 --> 00:23:28,417
So the thing about me?
657
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:29,573
Yeah?
658
00:23:29,609 --> 00:23:31,035
Is I'm a brilliant
political mind.
659
00:23:31,059 --> 00:23:32,292
Yeah?
660
00:23:32,327 --> 00:23:33,471
Ph.D. in Political
Economy from Oxford.
661
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:34,478
That's not an easy get.
662
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:35,991
No. Bruno and
Doug know that I can
663
00:23:36,015 --> 00:23:36,980
handle the tough meeting.
664
00:23:37,015 --> 00:23:38,409
That's why they're
sending me with you
665
00:23:38,433 --> 00:23:39,444
to meet Victor Campos. Yeah.
666
00:23:39,468 --> 00:23:41,079
I have an exceptional mind. But?
667
00:23:41,103 --> 00:23:42,897
I don't know who
Victor Campos is.
668
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:44,082
Yeah. Look, pal, I went
669
00:23:44,106 --> 00:23:45,072
to Oxford, okay?
670
00:23:45,107 --> 00:23:46,073
Which is in England.
671
00:23:46,108 --> 00:23:47,074
Hey, you weren't kidding
672
00:23:47,109 --> 00:23:48,642
about that exceptional mind.
673
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:50,505
Sam. England's in Europe, right?
674
00:23:50,529 --> 00:23:51,512
Sam.
675
00:23:51,547 --> 00:23:53,180
He's the head of the AFSE...
676
00:23:53,215 --> 00:23:56,483
American Federation of
Service Employees, Local 1262.
677
00:23:56,519 --> 00:23:58,018
He's the head of a local?
678
00:23:58,054 --> 00:23:59,119
Yeah.
679
00:23:59,154 --> 00:24:01,300
And he rates a meeting
with a senior staffer?
680
00:24:01,324 --> 00:24:02,489
A Democrat can't get elected
681
00:24:02,525 --> 00:24:04,191
to anything in
California without him.
682
00:24:04,227 --> 00:24:05,292
He can pick up the phone
683
00:24:05,328 --> 00:24:07,361
and have 5,000 people
at your rally in an hour.
684
00:24:07,396 --> 00:24:08,596
He's got a state-of-the-art
685
00:24:08,631 --> 00:24:10,163
voter mobilizing
operation in place.
686
00:24:10,199 --> 00:24:11,665
A massive room
with computer banks
687
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:12,966
tracking voter registration.
688
00:24:13,001 --> 00:24:16,353
With his endorsement
comes 350,000 calls
689
00:24:16,389 --> 00:24:18,622
callbacks, mailing and e-mails.
690
00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:20,140
Is there anything in particular
691
00:24:20,175 --> 00:24:21,787
I should do at this meeting?
692
00:24:21,811 --> 00:24:24,628
Don't get in my way.
693
00:24:45,635 --> 00:24:46,933
Taxi!
694
00:24:55,978 --> 00:24:58,211
Excuse me.
695
00:24:59,682 --> 00:25:02,094
Are you Donna
Moss, by any chance?
696
00:25:02,118 --> 00:25:03,584
Yeah.
697
00:25:03,619 --> 00:25:05,469
I'm Cliff Calley.
698
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:06,670
I'm really sorry I'm late.
699
00:25:06,705 --> 00:25:07,671
No, that's all right.
700
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:08,672
Were you waiting long?
701
00:25:08,707 --> 00:25:09,851
No, no, like...
702
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:11,319
It was like an hour and a half
703
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:12,487
or something.
704
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:13,643
There are these boxes.
705
00:25:13,678 --> 00:25:14,939
I'm sorry?
706
00:25:14,963 --> 00:25:16,630
There are these boxes that I...
707
00:25:16,665 --> 00:25:17,681
It doesn't matter.
708
00:25:17,716 --> 00:25:18,682
You were leaving.
709
00:25:18,717 --> 00:25:20,395
No, I just came out
to stretch my legs.
710
00:25:20,419 --> 00:25:21,919
You shouted for a cab.
711
00:25:21,954 --> 00:25:23,536
I like to test them.
712
00:25:24,806 --> 00:25:26,856
I usually look a
lot better than this.
713
00:25:26,892 --> 00:25:28,125
I mean, I can look good.
714
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,054
I don't have any
trouble believing that.
715
00:25:30,078 --> 00:25:31,406
But, listen, it sounds
716
00:25:31,430 --> 00:25:32,858
like maybe you're having
717
00:25:32,882 --> 00:25:35,309
some problems with boxes
and I know how that can be
718
00:25:35,333 --> 00:25:36,361
so if you'd rather do this...
719
00:25:36,385 --> 00:25:37,434
Will you buy me a drink?
720
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:38,918
Sure.
721
00:25:40,539 --> 00:25:42,183
C.J., can you clear up
722
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:44,908
whether the Special Prosecutor
can compel the President's staff
723
00:25:44,944 --> 00:25:47,188
to disclose conversations
he's had regarding his MS?
724
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:49,891
Well, Executive Privilege
protects all communications
725
00:25:49,915 --> 00:25:51,726
that are necessary
to enable a president
726
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,050
to do his job, but as I said
727
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:55,347
the President's waiving
Executive Privilege. Mark?
728
00:25:55,371 --> 00:25:56,336
Can you tell us if...
729
00:25:56,372 --> 00:25:57,937
Excuse me, I need
to follow up on that.
730
00:25:57,973 --> 00:26:00,490
How can Bartlet be claiming
to waive Executive Privilege
731
00:26:00,525 --> 00:26:03,026
yet still reserve the right to
withhold certain documents?
732
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,777
Isn't he just trying
to protect himself?
733
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:07,831
Actually, he's trying to protect
the Office of the Presidency.
734
00:26:07,866 --> 00:26:10,011
Information pertaining to
national security, for instance.
735
00:26:10,035 --> 00:26:10,984
Stop being coy, C.J.
736
00:26:11,019 --> 00:26:11,985
I was born this way.
737
00:26:12,021 --> 00:26:13,286
You don't think Clement Rollins
738
00:26:13,322 --> 00:26:14,883
will be angry, and
with every reason to be
739
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:16,701
if the White House leaves
out certain documents?
740
00:26:16,725 --> 00:26:19,426
I think if you want to know
what Clement Rollins thinks
741
00:26:19,462 --> 00:26:22,062
you should read some of
his writings on the subject.
742
00:26:22,097 --> 00:26:24,631
He was a University of
Chicago Law School professor
743
00:26:24,667 --> 00:26:26,745
and I'm not sure, you
can check me on this
744
00:26:26,769 --> 00:26:29,202
but I think he was editor
of the Yale Law Review.
745
00:26:32,041 --> 00:26:33,507
That's a full lid, everybody.
746
00:26:33,542 --> 00:26:34,674
Have a good night.
747
00:26:34,709 --> 00:26:35,853
Thanks, C.J.
748
00:26:35,877 --> 00:26:37,544
Thanks, C.J.
749
00:26:43,052 --> 00:26:44,762
C.J., Governor of
Wyoming's been on TV.
750
00:26:44,786 --> 00:26:45,919
Is he mad at us?
751
00:26:45,954 --> 00:26:47,098
He's pretty irate.
752
00:26:47,122 --> 00:26:48,366
Good irate, or... He's irate.
753
00:26:48,390 --> 00:26:49,622
All right. Circulate a memo
754
00:26:49,658 --> 00:26:51,624
to anyone who's going
to see a microphone.
755
00:26:51,660 --> 00:26:53,126
The National Fire Plan is based
756
00:26:53,162 --> 00:26:55,328
on recommendations
from five Federal Agencies.
757
00:26:55,364 --> 00:26:56,829
It clearly states that 80 years
758
00:26:56,865 --> 00:26:58,627
of fire suppression
hasn't worked.
759
00:26:58,651 --> 00:27:00,751
For centuries, wildfires
have been a natural part
760
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:02,418
of the evolution of
forest ecosystems.
761
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:03,698
When something catches on fire
762
00:27:03,722 --> 00:27:05,433
it's no longer our
policy to put it out?
763
00:27:05,457 --> 00:27:07,357
That's the kind of
thing they shouldn't say.
764
00:27:07,392 --> 00:27:08,358
Put that in the memo
765
00:27:08,393 --> 00:27:10,353
with a circle and
a line through it.
766
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,095
C.J. Oliver.
767
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:13,429
Thank God for Lexis-Nexis, huh?
768
00:27:13,465 --> 00:27:14,609
I'll say.
769
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:15,999
How long is it
going to take them
770
00:27:16,035 --> 00:27:17,684
to find the paper I
wrote with Rollins?
771
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,702
About an hour.
772
00:27:18,737 --> 00:27:19,931
They'll make their deadlines.
773
00:27:19,955 --> 00:27:21,021
You know...
774
00:27:21,056 --> 00:27:22,039
Yeah?
775
00:27:22,074 --> 00:27:23,223
I was going to say
776
00:27:23,258 --> 00:27:25,509
you took a beating
the last few months.
777
00:27:25,544 --> 00:27:26,688
Yeah.
778
00:27:26,712 --> 00:27:28,345
And I was wondering
if you were trying
779
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:30,047
to get back in the
game with one swing.
780
00:27:30,082 --> 00:27:31,476
Is that what you were wondering?
781
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:32,466
Yeah. Anything else?
782
00:27:32,501 --> 00:27:34,735
No.
783
00:27:37,756 --> 00:27:39,539
What do you know?
784
00:27:39,574 --> 00:27:41,019
We've spent the last few hours
785
00:27:41,043 --> 00:27:43,121
with the Minority Whip
and some deputies.
786
00:27:43,145 --> 00:27:44,522
They have the
votes for a repeal?
787
00:27:44,546 --> 00:27:47,147
They have 218 without
breaking a sweat.
788
00:27:47,182 --> 00:27:48,682
It's 290 to override.
789
00:27:48,717 --> 00:27:49,728
Where are they getting them?
790
00:27:49,752 --> 00:27:51,346
The Republicans are
calling an "all hands."
791
00:27:51,370 --> 00:27:52,335
We're assuming
792
00:27:52,371 --> 00:27:54,082
they get the full
226, plus Fayette
793
00:27:54,106 --> 00:27:55,439
Genesee and Trent.
794
00:27:55,474 --> 00:27:56,474
California...
795
00:27:56,509 --> 00:27:57,741
A state I've begged you
796
00:27:57,776 --> 00:27:59,359
to let secede from the Union.
797
00:27:59,394 --> 00:28:01,606
The entire California
delegation wants a compromise.
798
00:28:01,630 --> 00:28:03,491
If they don't get one,
they vote to repeal.
799
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:04,714
We lose about
800
00:28:04,749 --> 00:28:06,495
another 13 votes
from rural districts.
801
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,286
Maybe three of them would
switch back to us if it was close
802
00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:10,932
but they'd get killed
next November
803
00:28:10,956 --> 00:28:12,483
and I wouldn't
ask them to do it.
804
00:28:12,507 --> 00:28:13,640
That's 283.
805
00:28:13,676 --> 00:28:15,487
Where are the other
seven votes against us?
806
00:28:15,511 --> 00:28:17,094
That's the thing.
807
00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:18,690
It's from inside
the Black Caucus.
808
00:28:18,714 --> 00:28:21,264
That's where the
seven votes are.
809
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:23,077
I want you two to
see Mark Richardson
810
00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:24,451
first thing in the morning.
811
00:28:24,486 --> 00:28:25,513
We already set it up.
812
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:26,681
When you're done, we'll make
813
00:28:26,705 --> 00:28:28,116
a recommendation
to the President.
814
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:30,201
He'll make his decision
to fight or live to fight
815
00:28:30,225 --> 00:28:31,265
and that'll be that.
816
00:28:34,813 --> 00:28:36,062
These are members
817
00:28:36,097 --> 00:28:37,609
of the congressional
Black Caucus.
818
00:28:37,633 --> 00:28:38,865
Can you think of any reason
819
00:28:38,901 --> 00:28:40,378
why they'd oppose
the estate tax?
820
00:28:40,402 --> 00:28:42,118
Sure.
821
00:28:42,154 --> 00:28:43,020
What?
822
00:28:43,055 --> 00:28:44,288
The first generation
823
00:28:44,323 --> 00:28:46,589
of black millionaires
is about to die.
824
00:28:46,625 --> 00:28:47,291
Leo.
825
00:28:47,326 --> 00:28:48,275
Is he back?
826
00:28:48,310 --> 00:28:50,230
Yeah. Thanks.
827
00:28:54,466 --> 00:28:55,599
Charlie.
828
00:28:55,634 --> 00:28:56,844
Yes, sir.
829
00:28:56,868 --> 00:28:58,502
I'm expecting a
call from Bill Horton
830
00:28:58,537 --> 00:29:00,970
and I left the National
Fire Plan in the dining room.
831
00:29:01,006 --> 00:29:02,150
I'll run over and get it.
832
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:04,174
Thanks.
833
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:38,175
Good evening.
834
00:29:38,210 --> 00:29:40,894
The Governor of Wyoming
was an inch and a half away
835
00:29:40,930 --> 00:29:43,046
from calling me a
pyromaniac tonight.
836
00:29:43,081 --> 00:29:44,063
That's surprising
837
00:29:44,099 --> 00:29:46,411
'cause we really had
respect for him before.
838
00:29:46,435 --> 00:29:48,034
I'm saying somewhere out there
839
00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:49,681
is a registered
voter who's thinking
840
00:29:49,705 --> 00:29:50,687
"You know, I thought
841
00:29:50,722 --> 00:29:52,334
"I really liked
this Bartlet fellow
842
00:29:52,358 --> 00:29:54,435
but now that I see
he's in favor of fire..."
843
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:56,755
He thinks it's going to
adversely affect tourism.
844
00:29:56,779 --> 00:29:58,712
It's the end of the season
845
00:29:58,747 --> 00:30:01,064
and the fire isn't
anywhere near tourists.
846
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:03,316
Letting this fire burn is
good for the environment.
847
00:30:03,352 --> 00:30:05,235
You know how I know?
848
00:30:05,270 --> 00:30:06,352
How?
849
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:10,106
'Cause smart people told me.
850
00:30:10,142 --> 00:30:12,809
Please God, Leo,
let them be right.
851
00:30:12,845 --> 00:30:14,905
When are you talking to Horton?
852
00:30:14,929 --> 00:30:16,496
Any minute.
853
00:30:16,531 --> 00:30:18,276
You want me in on the call?
854
00:30:18,300 --> 00:30:19,582
Yeah.
855
00:30:19,618 --> 00:30:22,178
I'll be in my office.
856
00:31:46,271 --> 00:31:48,237
Why are you a Republican?
857
00:31:48,273 --> 00:31:49,584
I'm sorry?
858
00:31:49,608 --> 00:31:50,907
Why are you a Republican?
859
00:31:50,942 --> 00:31:52,587
Because I hate poor people.
860
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:53,910
I hate them, Donna.
861
00:31:53,945 --> 00:31:55,244
They're all so poor
862
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,824
and many of them talk funny
863
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:58,993
and don't have
proper table manners.
864
00:31:59,017 --> 00:32:02,597
My father slaved away at the
Fortune 500 company he inherited
865
00:32:02,621 --> 00:32:05,366
so that I could go to
Choate, Brown and Harvard
866
00:32:05,390 --> 00:32:07,702
and see that this
country isn't overrun
867
00:32:07,726 --> 00:32:09,370
by poor people and lesbians.
868
00:32:09,394 --> 00:32:12,907
No. I-I'm a Republican because
I believe in smaller government.
869
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:15,110
This country was founded
on the principle of freedom
870
00:32:15,134 --> 00:32:16,944
and freedom stands
opposed to constraints
871
00:32:16,968 --> 00:32:19,447
and the bigger the government
the more the constraints.
872
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:20,453
Wow.
873
00:32:20,489 --> 00:32:21,599
You agree with that?
874
00:32:21,623 --> 00:32:23,489
No, it's crap, but
you're really cute.
875
00:32:23,525 --> 00:32:24,525
Yeah, I know.
876
00:32:25,878 --> 00:32:27,277
I had a hunch you did.
877
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:29,345
Oh.
878
00:32:29,381 --> 00:32:31,214
Listen, you know
who my boss is, right?
879
00:32:31,249 --> 00:32:32,215
I do.
880
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,151
And he's one of the
point men on this fight
881
00:32:34,186 --> 00:32:35,952
with Ways and Means
over the estate tax.
882
00:32:35,988 --> 00:32:36,953
The death tax.
883
00:32:36,989 --> 00:32:38,354
He doesn't like to call it that.
884
00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:40,135
We've been ordered
to. There was a memo.
885
00:32:40,159 --> 00:32:41,958
Right. Anyway... And
not to editorialize...
886
00:32:41,994 --> 00:32:43,293
But since we're fighting
887
00:32:43,328 --> 00:32:45,128
for the betterment
of ordinary people
888
00:32:45,164 --> 00:32:46,863
while you're
voraciously protecting
889
00:32:46,899 --> 00:32:48,398
the grotesque wealth of the few
890
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:50,533
I wasn't sure if this
was awkward for you.
891
00:32:50,569 --> 00:32:51,746
Listen, Robin Hood...
892
00:32:51,770 --> 00:32:53,236
You don't think it's a good tax?
893
00:32:53,271 --> 00:32:55,984
It was, in 1916, when this
country's wealth was concentrated
894
00:32:56,008 --> 00:32:57,752
and we wanted to
prevent the emergence
895
00:32:57,776 --> 00:32:59,453
of an aristocratic
class, however...
896
00:32:59,477 --> 00:33:00,744
Says Choate, Brown and Harvard.
897
00:33:00,779 --> 00:33:03,080
The wealth is now
spread among farmers
898
00:33:03,115 --> 00:33:05,415
small business owners,
farmers, merchants
899
00:33:05,450 --> 00:33:06,950
and did I mention farmers?
900
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,219
So a second date wouldn't
be awkward for you?
901
00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:12,639
Uh...
902
00:33:12,674 --> 00:33:16,643
This is my last week
working for Ways and Means.
903
00:33:16,678 --> 00:33:17,444
Really?
904
00:33:17,479 --> 00:33:18,489
I've been traded.
905
00:33:18,513 --> 00:33:19,345
To where?
906
00:33:19,380 --> 00:33:20,575
House Government Oversight.
907
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:21,626
What'd they trade you for?
908
00:33:21,650 --> 00:33:23,733
Some toner, I think.
909
00:33:23,768 --> 00:33:25,068
No, I mean why?
910
00:33:25,103 --> 00:33:26,403
I don't know.
911
00:33:26,438 --> 00:33:29,772
We got a call from the
Majority Leader's office.
912
00:33:29,807 --> 00:33:31,752
They wanted another litigator
913
00:33:31,776 --> 00:33:34,710
at Government
Oversight, and they didn't...
914
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:36,513
they didn't say why.
915
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,382
Maybe it was just an oversight.
916
00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:40,383
Oh, come on.
917
00:33:40,419 --> 00:33:42,596
"Maybe it was
just an oversight"?
918
00:33:42,620 --> 00:33:44,932
I don't even get
a courtesy laugh.
919
00:33:44,956 --> 00:33:47,740
The boxes.
920
00:33:47,775 --> 00:33:49,055
What about them?
921
00:33:51,580 --> 00:33:53,312
I have to say good night now.
922
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:08,489
You didn't bring
me out from L.A.
923
00:34:08,513 --> 00:34:11,448
to talk about the Hispanic
Education Longevity Program.
924
00:34:11,483 --> 00:34:14,184
Victor, I was wondering why
you passed on the Commission.
925
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:16,664
You didn't bring me out
here to talk about HELP
926
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:19,700
and you didn't bring me out
here to talk about the Commission.
927
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:22,058
And you didn't go to Indiana
to watch a basketball game.
928
00:34:22,093 --> 00:34:23,026
It was a good game.
929
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:24,855
Don't get cute with
me. Watch your mouth.
930
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:26,379
No, I don't think
I will, Victor.
931
00:34:26,414 --> 00:34:27,580
We fought a war together.
932
00:34:27,615 --> 00:34:29,216
What the hell
happened to loyalty?
933
00:34:29,251 --> 00:34:30,562
You tell me. You know what?
934
00:34:30,586 --> 00:34:31,884
The President promised to ban
935
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,286
permanent striker replacement
workers, and he did it.
936
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:36,067
Thank you. So the jobs
he isn't shipping overseas
937
00:34:36,091 --> 00:34:37,406
will be safe and secure.
938
00:34:37,442 --> 00:34:38,686
Who else was talking
about prenatal care
939
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:40,560
for illegal immigrants
in Davenport, Iowa?
940
00:34:40,595 --> 00:34:42,473
That isn't where it
needs to be talked about.
941
00:34:42,497 --> 00:34:44,481
He put an empowerment
zone in Pacoima
942
00:34:44,516 --> 00:34:46,610
and no one has worked harder
to raise the minimum wage.
943
00:34:46,634 --> 00:34:48,563
Mi gente ganan mas
que el minimo sueldo.
944
00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:50,180
Te subio al podio en
la maldita convencíon...
945
00:34:50,204 --> 00:34:52,100
Porque necesitaban
una cara morena.
946
00:34:52,124 --> 00:34:53,902
Estas equivocado. No lo estoy.
947
00:34:53,926 --> 00:34:55,775
The lowest Latino
unemployment in history
948
00:34:55,810 --> 00:34:58,211
more small business loans
for Hispanic entrepreneurs
949
00:34:58,246 --> 00:35:00,746
and the biggest drop in
Latino poverty in two decades.
950
00:35:00,782 --> 00:35:02,643
That's what I got
in the last election.
951
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,211
What do I get in this one?
952
00:35:04,235 --> 00:35:06,386
What happened to loyalty?
953
00:35:06,421 --> 00:35:09,055
You can't deposit it
in a savings account.
954
00:35:10,559 --> 00:35:11,991
What do I get?
955
00:35:12,026 --> 00:35:13,026
What do you want?
956
00:35:13,061 --> 00:35:14,755
The high school dropout
rate among Hispanics
957
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:16,407
is higher than it is
for African-Americans.
958
00:35:16,431 --> 00:35:17,780
We're going to
double the funding
959
00:35:17,815 --> 00:35:19,882
on the National High
School Initiative. What else?
960
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:21,996
Children who came to the
United States after welfare reform...
961
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:23,586
There's going to be a major push
962
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:25,583
on the Hispanic Children's
Health Act. What's a major push?
963
00:35:25,607 --> 00:35:27,740
He's going to mention it
in the State of the Union.
964
00:35:27,776 --> 00:35:28,870
What else? Complete amnesty...
965
00:35:28,894 --> 00:35:30,677
Complete amnesty... No way.
966
00:35:30,712 --> 00:35:33,558
Victor... Complete amnesty
for all undocumented immigrants
967
00:35:33,582 --> 00:35:34,547
from the Americas.
968
00:35:34,583 --> 00:35:35,693
Mexico, Chile, El Salvador...
969
00:35:35,717 --> 00:35:37,745
The Legal Amnesty
Fairness Act is
970
00:35:37,769 --> 00:35:39,247
in the Senate right now.
971
00:35:39,271 --> 00:35:41,887
We can't back a bill that
treats Hispanic immigrants
972
00:35:41,923 --> 00:35:43,083
any differently than... Sam...
973
00:35:43,107 --> 00:35:44,852
There's no way we
can do it. Sure we can.
974
00:35:44,876 --> 00:35:45,842
I'm sorry?
975
00:35:45,877 --> 00:35:46,437
We can do it.
976
00:35:46,461 --> 00:35:47,160
We really can't.
977
00:35:47,195 --> 00:35:48,427
We really can.
978
00:35:48,463 --> 00:35:51,430
Would you excuse
us just a second?
979
00:35:56,255 --> 00:35:58,822
Hi. When I said,
"Stay out of my way"
980
00:35:58,857 --> 00:36:00,635
did you think I meant...
It's a bold stroke
981
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,203
that'll cost you some
independents, but I...
982
00:36:02,227 --> 00:36:03,571
Just so he can expand
his union membership?
983
00:36:03,595 --> 00:36:05,428
It'll also expand the
Democratic Party.
984
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:08,114
Millions of illegal immigrants
could come out of hiding.
985
00:36:08,149 --> 00:36:09,782
That's millions
of potential voters
986
00:36:09,817 --> 00:36:11,217
who are going to vote for you.
987
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:12,918
Three million
voters in California...
988
00:36:12,954 --> 00:36:14,838
That's 13% of the
vote, 19% in Arizona.
989
00:36:14,873 --> 00:36:16,122
You know as well as I do
990
00:36:16,158 --> 00:36:18,068
the Republican Party is going
to try to outflank us on this.
991
00:36:18,092 --> 00:36:19,704
You know it's the right
thing to take to the President
992
00:36:19,728 --> 00:36:20,871
so why are you
giving him a hard time?
993
00:36:20,895 --> 00:36:22,345
He's giving me a hard time.
994
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:24,447
He's doing what
he's supposed to do.
995
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:27,617
Recognize you're weaker
than you were three years ago
996
00:36:27,652 --> 00:36:31,387
have a little humility, suck it
up, and give him what he wants
997
00:36:31,422 --> 00:36:35,008
which is going to help
you in the long run anyway.
998
00:36:35,043 --> 00:36:36,342
Victor.
999
00:36:42,951 --> 00:36:44,250
What do we get?
1000
00:36:44,286 --> 00:36:45,585
Excuse me?
1001
00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:47,938
If I take this to the
President, what do we get?
1002
00:36:47,973 --> 00:36:50,824
California and
its 435 delegates.
1003
00:36:50,859 --> 00:36:52,909
I shouldn't have
blown up at you before.
1004
00:36:52,944 --> 00:36:54,222
Nobody'll know.
1005
00:36:54,246 --> 00:36:55,246
Yeah?
1006
00:36:56,614 --> 00:36:58,614
Loyalty.
1007
00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:04,353
Josh, you think the Black
Caucus votes in a bloc
1008
00:37:04,389 --> 00:37:06,890
and that they only
care about the cities.
1009
00:37:06,925 --> 00:37:09,459
Surely, Congressman, the
African-American community
1010
00:37:09,494 --> 00:37:11,739
can think of better
ways to spend $28 billion
1011
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:15,015
than a tax break that'll benefit
fewer than 1,000 black families.
1012
00:37:15,050 --> 00:37:16,532
You're doing it again.
1013
00:37:16,568 --> 00:37:19,169
Mark... The
African-American community
1014
00:37:19,204 --> 00:37:20,882
doesn't think one
way about anything.
1015
00:37:20,906 --> 00:37:23,139
We're talking about a few
members of the caucus...
1016
00:37:23,174 --> 00:37:24,540
That was pretty surprising.
1017
00:37:24,575 --> 00:37:26,843
A few members who
feel that African-American
1018
00:37:26,878 --> 00:37:29,128
home ownership is
at its highest level ever
1019
00:37:29,163 --> 00:37:31,241
that more African-Americans
are opening small businesses
1020
00:37:31,265 --> 00:37:33,465
than ever before, and
if they can't pass it on
1021
00:37:33,501 --> 00:37:36,419
how will they build
up power and clout
1022
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:39,255
and self-sufficiency
as a community?
1023
00:37:39,290 --> 00:37:40,768
You think a few
black millionaires
1024
00:37:40,792 --> 00:37:42,737
justifies a multi-billion-
dollar boondoggle?
1025
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:45,111
Well, as long as
there's a Congress
1026
00:37:45,147 --> 00:37:49,032
there are going to be multi-
billion-dollar boondoggles.
1027
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:52,769
We'd just like to share
in them a little bit, please.
1028
00:37:52,804 --> 00:37:54,888
We're bleeding here, Mark.
1029
00:37:54,923 --> 00:37:56,255
What?
1030
00:37:56,290 --> 00:37:57,918
We're bleeding
here, for God's sake.
1031
00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:59,009
You can work with us
1032
00:37:59,044 --> 00:38:01,105
or you can be ignored
by a Republican president
1033
00:38:01,129 --> 00:38:02,656
but those are your choices.
1034
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,980
How bad is it?
1035
00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:05,632
Buckland's coming after us.
1036
00:38:05,667 --> 00:38:07,233
He's been meeting
with Victor Campos.
1037
00:38:07,268 --> 00:38:09,101
And while you guys
are defending yourselves
1038
00:38:09,137 --> 00:38:11,787
against special prosecutors
and Jack Buckland
1039
00:38:11,823 --> 00:38:14,423
what happens to the
people who got you here?
1040
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:15,925
Who you talking to, Mark?
1041
00:38:15,961 --> 00:38:17,293
We're not going to forget
1042
00:38:17,328 --> 00:38:19,424
about failing schools
in central cities.
1043
00:38:19,448 --> 00:38:21,793
We're not going to forget
about after-school care;
1044
00:38:21,817 --> 00:38:23,316
health care for uninsured kids.
1045
00:38:23,351 --> 00:38:25,551
We're not going to forget
about drug treatment
1046
00:38:25,586 --> 00:38:27,804
or urban redevelopment,
or community policing.
1047
00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:30,140
Yeah?
1048
00:38:30,175 --> 00:38:32,215
You got to not forget
that we're bleeding.
1049
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:38,998
The Black Caucus
doesn't vote as one mind.
1050
00:38:39,034 --> 00:38:40,683
I can't promise anything.
1051
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,753
The veto's an
awfully big risk to take
1052
00:38:43,788 --> 00:38:46,255
if you can't promise anything.
1053
00:38:46,290 --> 00:38:50,310
Then the veto's an
awfully big risk to take.
1054
00:38:57,118 --> 00:38:58,929
Has the fire abated at all?
1055
00:38:58,953 --> 00:38:59,919
Not yet.
1056
00:38:59,954 --> 00:39:01,254
How far has it spread?
1057
00:39:01,289 --> 00:39:02,338
6,500 acres.
1058
00:39:02,373 --> 00:39:04,251
So it's starting to close
in on the boundary?
1059
00:39:04,275 --> 00:39:05,519
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
1060
00:39:05,543 --> 00:39:07,521
It's not too late to
reverse your decision.
1061
00:39:07,545 --> 00:39:08,845
Do you think he should?
1062
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:09,979
No. Why?
1063
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:12,448
There's a cold front
moving down in from Alberta
1064
00:39:12,483 --> 00:39:13,950
with a 50% chance of showers.
1065
00:39:13,985 --> 00:39:16,685
Temperatures in the area
have already started to drop
1066
00:39:16,721 --> 00:39:19,055
and if the rain reaches
Yellowstone by tonight
1067
00:39:19,090 --> 00:39:20,823
it'll be enough
to quell the fire.
1068
00:39:20,859 --> 00:39:22,369
And if it doesn't, we put it out
1069
00:39:22,393 --> 00:39:25,305
and the President looks like
an idiot for waiting this long.
1070
00:39:25,329 --> 00:39:26,974
Yeah, but we're
going to make sure
1071
00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:28,642
he looks like an
idiot, too, right?
1072
00:39:28,666 --> 00:39:30,266
Yeah.
1073
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:32,112
Wyoming's just going to
have to have some faith
1074
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:34,415
that the Department of the
Interior knows what it's doing.
1075
00:39:34,439 --> 00:39:36,121
Yes, sir. Thank
you, Mr. Secretary.
1076
00:39:36,157 --> 00:39:37,457
Thank you, Mr. President.
1077
00:39:37,492 --> 00:39:38,658
Josh.
1078
00:39:38,693 --> 00:39:40,092
Yes, sir?
1079
00:39:40,127 --> 00:39:41,111
A ballerina?
1080
00:39:41,146 --> 00:39:44,848
Yeah, I didn't know
what it was at the time.
1081
00:39:44,883 --> 00:39:46,349
I liked the word.
1082
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:48,112
We'll go with that for now.
1083
00:39:48,136 --> 00:39:49,335
Mr. President
1084
00:39:49,371 --> 00:39:51,548
we're here to recommend
that you threaten to veto
1085
00:39:51,572 --> 00:39:52,850
any repeal of the estate tax.
1086
00:39:52,874 --> 00:39:55,158
Really.
1087
00:39:55,193 --> 00:39:56,303
Yes, sir.
1088
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:57,727
What happened with Richardson?
1089
00:39:57,762 --> 00:39:59,229
No guarantees.
1090
00:39:59,264 --> 00:40:02,114
He wants to see what
we're going to do next.
1091
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:04,883
Let's make the threat.
1092
00:40:04,919 --> 00:40:05,735
You like this?
1093
00:40:05,770 --> 00:40:07,320
Yes, sir.
1094
00:40:07,355 --> 00:40:09,700
I thought you don't oppose
a tax cut in an election year.
1095
00:40:09,724 --> 00:40:10,907
Well, let's be clear.
1096
00:40:10,942 --> 00:40:13,342
We're not talking about
opposing a tax cut.
1097
00:40:13,377 --> 00:40:15,194
We're talking
about vetoing one...
1098
00:40:15,229 --> 00:40:16,528
Your first veto ever.
1099
00:40:16,564 --> 00:40:19,081
That's shooting the moon.
1100
00:40:19,116 --> 00:40:20,065
I'll say.
1101
00:40:20,101 --> 00:40:21,334
I like the bold gesture.
1102
00:40:21,369 --> 00:40:23,653
I think you got to
get out the stamp.
1103
00:40:23,688 --> 00:40:24,637
You sign it.
1104
00:40:24,672 --> 00:40:26,400
You don't do it with a stamp.
1105
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:28,007
I thought it was a stamp.
1106
00:40:28,042 --> 00:40:29,386
Actually, you
stamp it, then sign it.
1107
00:40:29,410 --> 00:40:30,893
Who gives a damn, sir?
1108
00:40:30,929 --> 00:40:34,380
This is a tax cut that
benefits only 4,500 families.
1109
00:40:34,416 --> 00:40:35,475
It doesn't matter
1110
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:37,244
if most voters don't benefit.
1111
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:39,836
They all believe that
someday, they will.
1112
00:40:39,871 --> 00:40:42,638
That's the problem with
the American Dream...
1113
00:40:42,674 --> 00:40:44,190
Makes everyone concerned
1114
00:40:44,226 --> 00:40:46,592
for the day they're
going to be rich.
1115
00:40:48,313 --> 00:40:50,124
The governors of Wyoming, Idaho
1116
00:40:50,148 --> 00:40:51,381
Montana and Utah
1117
00:40:51,416 --> 00:40:53,949
along with the
Senate Majority Leader
1118
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:55,951
and the Speaker of the House
1119
00:40:55,987 --> 00:40:58,754
are calling me a
fringe environmentalist
1120
00:40:58,790 --> 00:41:02,492
'cause I'm listening to
the Secretary of the Interior
1121
00:41:02,527 --> 00:41:04,760
and the Secretary of Agriculture
1122
00:41:04,796 --> 00:41:07,129
along with the
U.S. Forest Service
1123
00:41:07,165 --> 00:41:10,300
the Chief Ranger, and
the Park Superintendent.
1124
00:41:10,335 --> 00:41:13,736
They say letting the fire burn
is good for the environment
1125
00:41:13,771 --> 00:41:16,806
and I'm betting on a
weather report, of all things.
1126
00:41:16,841 --> 00:41:18,608
It's just one of those times.
1127
00:41:45,002 --> 00:41:47,503
You don't have a
bottle opener, do you?
1128
00:41:47,539 --> 00:41:48,504
No.
1129
00:41:48,540 --> 00:41:50,351
I know some men carry
those pocket knives.
1130
00:41:50,375 --> 00:41:51,674
I don't.
1131
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:54,177
You screwed around with an
independent legal proceeding
1132
00:41:54,212 --> 00:41:56,157
and you used one of
my deputies to do it.
1133
00:41:56,181 --> 00:41:57,480
I worked the press.
1134
00:41:57,515 --> 00:41:59,810
You know, there was an
irony in that Clem Rollins
1135
00:41:59,834 --> 00:42:01,244
was the right man for the job.
1136
00:42:01,268 --> 00:42:02,835
You think I care
less about irony?
1137
00:42:02,871 --> 00:42:05,749
You think just because the White
House feels more comfortable
1138
00:42:05,773 --> 00:42:07,618
when they're in an
ugly political fight
1139
00:42:07,642 --> 00:42:09,186
that means we're
going to win it?
1140
00:42:09,210 --> 00:42:10,977
Anybody have a bottle opener?
1141
00:42:11,012 --> 00:42:12,344
Josh? Yeah.
1142
00:42:12,380 --> 00:42:13,691
Which committee
had jurisdiction?
1143
00:42:13,715 --> 00:42:15,392
For the hearings?
Is it Judiciary?
1144
00:42:15,416 --> 00:42:17,783
You'd think so, but
Thomas's committee wanted it
1145
00:42:17,819 --> 00:42:20,152
so the Majority Leader...
Thomas's committee's?
1146
00:42:20,187 --> 00:42:22,054
House Government
Reform and Oversight.
1147
00:42:22,089 --> 00:42:23,756
Volume!
1148
00:42:23,791 --> 00:42:26,904
This is an election
year, and in some states
1149
00:42:26,928 --> 00:42:28,539
the voting starts
in a few months.
1150
00:42:28,563 --> 00:42:31,047
People deserve answers
now, and not at the snail's pace
1151
00:42:31,082 --> 00:42:32,893
of Jed Bartlet's
hand-picked prosecutor.
1152
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:34,200
I am announcing
1153
00:42:34,235 --> 00:42:36,802
that the House Government
Reform and Oversight Committee
1154
00:42:36,837 --> 00:42:38,053
will be gaveled to session
1155
00:42:38,089 --> 00:42:40,456
to conduct immediate
hearings into the possible use
1156
00:42:40,492 --> 00:42:43,142
of taxpayer resources
to defraud the public...
1157
00:42:43,177 --> 00:42:45,077
Come and get us.
1158
00:42:45,112 --> 00:42:49,381
It is time to put an end to this
White House's abuse of power.
1159
00:42:49,417 --> 00:42:53,920
It is time for this White House
to answer the American people.
