1
00:01:44,864 --> 00:01:47,833
I know maybe a dozen reporters,
guys you know, too,
2
00:01:47,867 --> 00:01:49,468
who tell me they've been
pitching you this story
3
00:01:49,502 --> 00:01:51,904
for almost a year with no luck.
4
00:01:51,938 --> 00:01:54,240
Yeah, I'm not crazy about
being interviewed in print.
5
00:01:54,274 --> 00:01:58,010
Print journalists play it fast and loose
with exclamation points.
6
00:01:58,078 --> 00:02:01,147
I love the news
becomes I love the news!
7
00:02:01,182 --> 00:02:02,949
Suddenly I'm deranged.
8
00:02:02,984 --> 00:02:04,951
- So why now?
- Huh?
9
00:02:04,986 --> 00:02:06,353
Why are you agreeing
to this piece now?
10
00:02:06,387 --> 00:02:09,023
- You don't happen to have a cigarette?
- No.
11
00:02:09,057 --> 00:02:10,891
- Why now?
- Ah, right here.
12
00:02:10,926 --> 00:02:13,093
Why do you want this now?
13
00:02:13,128 --> 00:02:16,397
I want some sort of document about
what we've been trying to do here.
14
00:02:16,431 --> 00:02:18,799
Like the king
at the end of Camelot
15
00:02:18,833 --> 00:02:21,568
telling the boy to run behind the lines
from village to village
16
00:02:21,603 --> 00:02:23,270
telling people about,
you know...
17
00:02:23,305 --> 00:02:24,572
- Camelot.
- Yeah.
18
00:02:24,606 --> 00:02:26,574
I'm asking why
you reached out to me.
19
00:02:26,608 --> 00:02:29,876
Because, your recent complications
notwithstanding,
20
00:02:29,911 --> 00:02:31,945
you cover the media better
than anyone out there.
21
00:02:31,979 --> 00:02:35,415
You haven't lost your touch for complimenting
and insulting someone at the same time.
22
00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:36,816
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
23
00:02:36,851 --> 00:02:38,418
But it wasn't meant as an insult,
Brian.
24
00:02:38,452 --> 00:02:40,353
Your life's been in
news magazines,
25
00:02:40,387 --> 00:02:42,255
- and news magazines aren't...
- I know.
26
00:02:42,289 --> 00:02:44,123
As many pages long
as they used to be.
27
00:02:44,158 --> 00:02:45,525
What kind of access
are we talking about?
28
00:02:45,559 --> 00:02:47,961
Here's what I'll offer.
You spend a few days here,
29
00:02:47,996 --> 00:02:50,297
talk to whoever you want,
but it's all off the record.
30
00:02:50,331 --> 00:02:52,232
- Not even background.
- What good does that do me?
31
00:02:52,267 --> 00:02:54,568
If I like how it feels,
then we go ahead.
32
00:02:54,602 --> 00:02:57,271
But I still get to tell you
what can retroactively
33
00:02:57,305 --> 00:02:58,672
go on the record from
the tryout period.
34
00:02:58,706 --> 00:03:01,374
- You're asking me to audition?
- Yeah.
35
00:03:01,409 --> 00:03:02,809
Why would I do that?
36
00:03:02,844 --> 00:03:04,378
I can think of some reasons.
37
00:03:04,412 --> 00:03:07,181
Four years ago, you were on
the masthead at Newsweek,
38
00:03:07,215 --> 00:03:09,149
turning out ten
cover stories a year
39
00:03:09,184 --> 00:03:11,084
and spending Sunday
mornings on TV.
40
00:03:11,119 --> 00:03:12,653
Today you have a blog.
41
00:03:12,687 --> 00:03:14,488
Your fucking disdain
for the Internet--
44
00:03:19,526 --> 00:03:23,162
and rolled the money into a start-up,
thinking you'd be the next Huffington Post.
45
00:03:23,196 --> 00:03:24,329
How'd it work out?
46
00:03:24,364 --> 00:03:25,798
We filed for bankruptcy.
47
00:03:25,832 --> 00:03:27,833
The Sunday Times Magazine,
Vanity Fair,
48
00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:30,202
GQ, The New Republic,
The Atlantic--
49
00:03:30,236 --> 00:03:33,138
Everybody's offered the cover
and I get to pick the writer.
50
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:35,574
I'm going with New York Magazine and you.
51
00:03:35,608 --> 00:03:38,544
So, you okay with the audition?
52
00:03:38,579 --> 00:03:40,480
Are you prepared to talk
about your Republicanism?
53
00:03:40,514 --> 00:03:42,182
You say that
like I've got polio.
54
00:03:42,216 --> 00:03:43,717
Are you prepared to talk
about having polio?
55
00:03:43,751 --> 00:03:47,554
I grew up in a town outside of town
outside Lincoln, Nebraska.
56
00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:49,089
My hometown was a road.
57
00:03:49,123 --> 00:03:51,658
I was a college freshman
before I met a Democrat.
58
00:03:51,693 --> 00:03:54,562
What about our history?
59
00:03:54,596 --> 00:03:57,932
Brian, your problem with me
back in the day
60
00:03:57,966 --> 00:04:00,334
was that I was a moderate,
sane Republican
61
00:04:00,369 --> 00:04:03,871
who refused to take a position on anything
for fear I would lose viewers.
62
00:04:03,906 --> 00:04:06,207
Just as moderate,
sane Republicans on the Hill
63
00:04:06,241 --> 00:04:09,009
refuse to take a position for fear
they'll lose primary voters.
64
00:04:09,044 --> 00:04:12,213
I had a nightly rundown that went
out of its way to avoid reporting the news.
65
00:04:12,247 --> 00:04:14,515
And then Mackenzie McHale
came along
66
00:04:14,549 --> 00:04:16,850
and I'm attacking my own party
67
00:04:16,884 --> 00:04:18,685
for not standing up
to its attackers.
68
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,521
Isn't that what you wanted me to do
back when you were calling me a coward?
69
00:04:21,555 --> 00:04:23,656
Yeah, but that's not
the history I'm talking about
70
00:04:23,691 --> 00:04:26,659
and you already knew that,
so please stop fucking around with me.
71
00:04:29,263 --> 00:04:31,732
One parenthetical sentence
in the second graph.
72
00:04:31,766 --> 00:04:34,368
"Full disclosure.
I've been a friend of Mackenzie McHale's
73
00:04:34,402 --> 00:04:36,269
- since the late '90s."
- And you?
74
00:04:36,304 --> 00:04:38,805
An email went to 178,000 people
75
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,740
and was reported on
our own morning show.
76
00:04:40,774 --> 00:04:43,509
That's all you know
and that's all you'll report.
77
00:04:44,811 --> 00:04:46,745
That's fine with me.
But that's the last time
78
00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:48,380
you'll tell me what
I will or won't report.
79
00:04:48,414 --> 00:04:51,650
- I'm not your stenographer.
- Do we have a deal?
80
00:04:51,684 --> 00:04:54,786
Yeah, now why do you need
someone to run from village to village?
81
00:04:54,820 --> 00:04:56,321
Is something about
to happen to Camelot?
82
00:04:56,355 --> 00:04:57,622
Maybe.
83
00:04:57,656 --> 00:05:00,192
First, you have to learn
what our whole philosophy is.
84
00:05:00,226 --> 00:05:04,029
Hang out, we'll talk later.
I have to go to a meeting with Reese Lansing.
85
00:05:04,063 --> 00:05:06,131
What's it about?
86
00:05:06,166 --> 00:05:08,301
Suspending our whole philosophy.
87
00:05:08,335 --> 00:05:10,503
Good to see you again, Brian.
88
00:05:15,575 --> 00:05:17,342
He should be here any minute.
89
00:05:21,114 --> 00:05:22,514
Sorry I'm late.
90
00:05:22,549 --> 00:05:24,684
All right, I'm not gonna tell you
what to put on the air.
91
00:05:24,718 --> 00:05:27,086
You're not allowed to tell us
what to put on the air.
92
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,455
So I'm just gonna tell you the facts.
93
00:05:30,490 --> 00:05:33,291
You got mugged last week.
You got bludgeoned.
94
00:05:33,326 --> 00:05:36,295
- It's Casey Anthony.
- Hang on, wait. She may just be right.
95
00:05:36,329 --> 00:05:38,497
- We knew we'd take a small hit.
- There's nothing small.
96
00:05:38,531 --> 00:05:41,100
Let me just give you the facts and then
invite you to draw your own conclusion.
97
00:05:41,134 --> 00:05:45,038
Nancy Grace averages 283,000
viewers on HLN.
98
00:05:45,072 --> 00:05:47,006
Her time period
competitor News Night
99
00:05:47,041 --> 00:05:49,409
averages 960,000.
100
00:05:49,443 --> 00:05:52,946
One week ago, HLN begins coverage
of the Casey Anthony trial
101
00:05:52,981 --> 00:05:56,917
and Nancy's audience increases
to 1.5 million viewers
102
00:05:56,951 --> 00:05:59,352
while News Night's audience
drops to 460,000,
103
00:05:59,387 --> 00:06:02,489
sending you from second to fifth place
in the course of five days.
104
00:06:02,523 --> 00:06:05,359
A feat I previously thought
was only accomplishable
105
00:06:05,393 --> 00:06:08,128
by the New York Mets.
106
00:06:08,162 --> 00:06:11,231
Whose idea was it to not cover
the Casey Anthony trial?
107
00:06:11,265 --> 00:06:12,966
It was mine.
108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,135
I think the three of you
should have a vaudeville act.
109
00:06:15,169 --> 00:06:18,071
I'm not kidding.
I'm gonna send you on a fucking tour.
110
00:06:18,106 --> 00:06:20,240
It was hers.
111
00:06:20,275 --> 00:06:23,543
Mackenzie, I've never seen
a more vivid picture of why viewers left,
112
00:06:23,578 --> 00:06:25,078
where they went to, and why.
113
00:06:25,112 --> 00:06:26,279
You said why twice.
114
00:06:26,314 --> 00:06:28,248
You chose not to work for PBS.
115
00:06:28,282 --> 00:06:31,384
You chose not to work for NPR.
You have a ratings obligation.
116
00:06:31,419 --> 00:06:33,253
No, you have
a ratings obligation.
117
00:06:33,287 --> 00:06:35,021
You're in business
with the advertisers.
118
00:06:35,056 --> 00:06:36,823
I'm in business
with the viewers.
119
00:06:36,857 --> 00:06:38,458
You just lost their business.
120
00:06:44,231 --> 00:06:45,765
That's all.
121
00:06:45,799 --> 00:06:48,500
Do what you want
with the information.
122
00:06:52,138 --> 00:06:54,873
I'll not be taken down by this
psychotic cocktail waitress.
123
00:06:54,907 --> 00:06:58,009
That's right, we just keep playing our game,
wait it out and just...
124
00:06:58,043 --> 00:06:59,744
How long can the trial go on?
125
00:06:59,778 --> 00:07:01,879
I've seen the witness list.
It'll run around six weeks
126
00:07:01,914 --> 00:07:03,948
plus summations plus deliberation.
127
00:07:03,982 --> 00:07:05,917
- We'll never make it.
- That's right, so--
128
00:07:05,951 --> 00:07:08,119
Wait, when you said
we wouldn't be taken down
129
00:07:08,153 --> 00:07:09,787
by this psychotic
cocktail waitress,
130
00:07:09,821 --> 00:07:12,623
did you mean we weren't
gonna cave or that we were?
131
00:07:12,657 --> 00:07:15,593
- You're gonna cover Casey Anthony.
- Bullshit we are.
132
00:07:15,628 --> 00:07:17,462
We have the three-day weekend
to gear up for it.
133
00:07:17,496 --> 00:07:21,066
- Charlie.
- Starting Tuesday, you'll lead with her in the A block.
134
00:07:21,101 --> 00:07:24,237
Give it 15 minutes and a five-minute reset
on the half hour.
135
00:07:24,271 --> 00:07:26,105
Seriously, I can't tell
if you're joking or--
136
00:07:26,140 --> 00:07:27,373
- Did you just hear those numbers?
- Yes.
137
00:07:27,408 --> 00:07:30,042
Half our audience
changed the channel in one week.
138
00:07:30,077 --> 00:07:31,911
- I understand.
- Do you?
139
00:07:31,945 --> 00:07:34,948
- Do I understand math?
- Do you understand that it's unprecedented?
140
00:07:34,982 --> 00:07:36,816
I'm not gonna argue with you
when Will can do it for me.
141
00:07:36,850 --> 00:07:39,352
He's never gonna go for this.
Tell him.
142
00:07:39,386 --> 00:07:42,855
Have marketing promo the living shit
out of Casey Anthony.
143
00:07:42,871 --> 00:07:44,069
Oh, my God.
144
00:07:44,093 --> 00:07:45,625
Rename the show Casey Anthony Night
with Casey Anthony.
145
00:07:45,659 --> 00:07:47,494
- Will, hang on.
- Right here on the Casey Anthony Network.
146
00:07:47,528 --> 00:07:49,396
- Mac.
- 'Cause any second I'm going to wake up
147
00:07:49,430 --> 00:07:52,666
and be back in a room with Don Quixote
and the mission to civilize.
148
00:07:52,700 --> 00:07:54,935
- Listen to me.
- No. How many drinks were thrown in your face
149
00:07:54,969 --> 00:07:56,670
because you didn't think
people should be watching
150
00:07:56,704 --> 00:07:58,939
The Real Morons of South Beach
or whatever the hell it's called?
151
00:07:58,973 --> 00:08:01,341
- It's not the same thing.
- It's exactly the same thing.
152
00:08:01,376 --> 00:08:03,777
It's just worse.
A child is dead.
153
00:08:03,811 --> 00:08:06,680
A very troubled young mother
either did or didn't murder her.
154
00:08:06,714 --> 00:08:08,848
Her parents are waiting to find out
if their daughter's going to get the needle.
155
00:08:08,883 --> 00:08:12,018
So thank God for TiVo,
otherwise we wouldn't be able to sit down--
156
00:08:12,052 --> 00:08:15,221
- It's news.
- Yeah, say that three times and click your heels.
157
00:08:15,256 --> 00:08:16,790
It's entertainment.
158
00:08:16,824 --> 00:08:19,459
And it's just--
Just this side of a snuff film.
159
00:08:19,493 --> 00:08:21,361
- Sit down, Mac.
- No, I don't want to sit.
160
00:08:21,395 --> 00:08:23,797
- Do it anyway, please.
- 15 at the top, that's a quarter of the show.
161
00:08:23,831 --> 00:08:25,665
- Mac.
- And five at the bottom for a reset?
162
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:27,367
Please sit!
163
00:08:29,371 --> 00:08:31,538
- Think I like it?
- I know you don't.
164
00:08:31,573 --> 00:08:34,241
It makes me sick.
There isn't enough bourbon in Kentucky.
165
00:08:34,276 --> 00:08:36,477
Okay?
We're in the same place on this.
166
00:08:36,511 --> 00:08:40,081
So let's be in the same place on this.
167
00:08:40,116 --> 00:08:41,616
We've had ratings dips before.
168
00:08:41,651 --> 00:08:44,019
First of all, not like this.
Nothing like this.
169
00:08:44,053 --> 00:08:47,223
Second, I want the debate.
The three of us have talked about a new debate format
170
00:08:47,257 --> 00:08:50,360
for months and we're not going to be able
to do it if they don't give us a debate.
171
00:08:50,394 --> 00:08:52,162
- I just really--
- They're not gonna give us a debate
172
00:08:52,196 --> 00:08:54,464
if we're in fifth place.
I want the debate.
173
00:08:54,499 --> 00:08:56,332
I want to fundamentally
change the way
174
00:08:56,367 --> 00:08:58,201
we interview presidential
candidates for their job.
175
00:08:58,235 --> 00:09:00,169
If that means we have
to be Jerry Springer
176
00:09:00,204 --> 00:09:02,004
for a few weeks,
I'm willing to pay that price.
177
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:04,907
When the going gets tough,
the two of you really man up.
178
00:09:04,942 --> 00:09:07,477
Then go with your principles,
Mac, but know
179
00:09:07,511 --> 00:09:09,779
a ratings hit like this
is all Leona needs
180
00:09:09,813 --> 00:09:13,416
to fire Will without
having to explain why.
181
00:09:23,562 --> 00:09:26,364
- All right.
- You'll do it as classy as you can.
182
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,334
I'll have Will wear
a top hat and monocle
183
00:09:29,369 --> 00:09:32,337
while he's showing pictures
of the wet T-shirt contest.
184
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:38,343
I'm sorry about
the outburst in there.
185
00:09:38,378 --> 00:09:41,146
Yeah, I'm not sure it was
all about Casey Anthony.
186
00:09:42,515 --> 00:09:45,317
- How did it go?
- He's doing it.
187
00:09:45,352 --> 00:09:47,286
Then he has to disclose
that we were--
188
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,521
I told him one parenthetical
in the second graph.
189
00:09:49,556 --> 00:09:50,789
That's it.
190
00:09:50,823 --> 00:09:52,758
He needs to be seen
as a heavyweight again, Mac.
191
00:09:52,792 --> 00:09:54,726
He's not gonna write a tell-all.
You're fine.
192
00:09:57,430 --> 00:09:59,397
Murrow did Person to Person.
193
00:09:59,431 --> 00:10:01,666
Celebrity interviews.
It was a deal with Paley.
194
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,401
One for them, one for him.
195
00:10:03,435 --> 00:10:05,169
He interviewed Liberace, Mac,
196
00:10:05,203 --> 00:10:07,571
just so he could keep
going after McCarthy.
197
00:10:07,606 --> 00:10:09,940
Those were puff pieces.
This is poison.
198
00:10:09,975 --> 00:10:13,543
If we're gonna do this,
let's not pretend we're not doing this.
199
00:10:16,481 --> 00:10:18,815
- Jim Harper.
- Hey.
200
00:10:18,849 --> 00:10:20,417
- Brian Brenner.
- I know.
201
00:10:20,451 --> 00:10:22,953
I wasn't sure if you remembered.
It's been a few years.
202
00:10:22,987 --> 00:10:25,022
Sure.
It's good to see you.
203
00:10:25,056 --> 00:10:26,924
Are you looking at
BigGoverment.com?
204
00:10:26,958 --> 00:10:28,559
- Yeah.
- Don't make me write
205
00:10:28,593 --> 00:10:31,896
that you're using Andrew Breitbart
to research this show.
206
00:10:31,930 --> 00:10:34,899
No, we're gonna be doing a mock debate
at the end of next week.
207
00:10:34,933 --> 00:10:39,204
- A mock debate?
- The RNC is looking at Will to possibly host a debate,
208
00:10:39,238 --> 00:10:42,007
and Will and Mac have an idea
for a new debate format.
209
00:10:42,041 --> 00:10:44,143
We want to show them,
so we're each playing a candidate
210
00:10:44,177 --> 00:10:47,480
and we're gonna do a mock debate
on Michele Bachmann, so...
211
00:10:47,514 --> 00:10:48,815
- Andrew Breitbart.
- Yeah.
212
00:10:48,849 --> 00:10:51,117
Tell me about this new
debate format you guys want.
213
00:10:51,152 --> 00:10:55,923
You know, I'm not really sure what
I'm allowed to talk to you about yet.
214
00:10:55,957 --> 00:10:58,091
Do you mind if we wait until
I get some instructions?
215
00:10:58,126 --> 00:10:59,426
- Sure.
- Thanks.
216
00:11:04,766 --> 00:11:06,300
Hey.
217
00:11:06,334 --> 00:11:07,568
- Hey.
- I heard you were here.
218
00:11:07,602 --> 00:11:08,936
You're not getting out
of town for the weekend?
219
00:11:08,970 --> 00:11:10,604
- Nope. How about you?
- Yeah.
220
00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:13,407
I'm going to a think tank conference
outside Baltimore.
221
00:11:13,441 --> 00:11:15,776
The Institute For Capital
Studies and Economic Growth.
222
00:11:15,810 --> 00:11:18,579
- It's gonna be a raver.
- I think it's called a rager.
223
00:11:18,613 --> 00:11:20,147
- Are you sure?
- No.
224
00:11:20,181 --> 00:11:22,883
It's either a rave
or a rager or a raver.
225
00:11:22,917 --> 00:11:26,187
Don't think the Institute For Capital Studies
and Economic Growth's gonna be any of them.
226
00:11:26,221 --> 00:11:27,755
So I stopped in
to give you a heads up.
227
00:11:27,790 --> 00:11:29,190
I might need a couple extra minutes
Tuesday night.
228
00:11:29,225 --> 00:11:30,959
I don't think I can give it to you.
229
00:11:30,993 --> 00:11:33,127
The House is going to vote up or down
on increasing the debt ceiling.
230
00:11:33,162 --> 00:11:35,463
- It's a cosmetic vote, but--
- If it's a cosmetic vote, why--
231
00:11:35,498 --> 00:11:37,699
It's news because first of all,
it'll be the first time
232
00:11:37,733 --> 00:11:39,767
in history the House lets
the US default on its debt.
233
00:11:39,802 --> 00:11:41,770
But moreover,
it'll be the first shot
234
00:11:41,804 --> 00:11:43,371
in the beginning
of a very reckless,
235
00:11:43,406 --> 00:11:47,175
extremely dangerous partisan fight
that could end in catastrophe.
236
00:11:47,209 --> 00:11:49,010
- Let me explain.
- I can't give you the time.
237
00:11:49,044 --> 00:11:51,712
- If Congress doesn't raise--
- I can't give you the extra time.
238
00:11:51,747 --> 00:11:55,183
Starting Tuesday,
I have to cover Casey Anthony.
239
00:11:57,152 --> 00:12:00,254
- I really liked that we weren't doing that.
- I really liked it, too.
240
00:12:00,288 --> 00:12:02,423
By putting the debt ceiling vote in the A block,
we'd be sending--
241
00:12:02,457 --> 00:12:05,860
I can't, Sloan.
We lost half our audience last week.
242
00:12:05,895 --> 00:12:08,362
That's not hyperbole.
That's an actual number.
243
00:12:08,397 --> 00:12:11,166
- Half our audience went to HLN at 8:00.
- Half?
244
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,701
If we don't bring them home this week,
we'll have lost most of them for good
245
00:12:13,736 --> 00:12:16,003
and we could lose the debate.
246
00:12:16,038 --> 00:12:18,972
Kenzie, I'm not just trying
to get more airtime.
247
00:12:19,007 --> 00:12:20,373
This is an incredibly important--
248
00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:22,909
I had 42 and a half minutes
to work with.
249
00:12:22,944 --> 00:12:24,544
I now have 22 and a half.
250
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:26,112
Do you know how you're gonna
budget the 22 and a half?
251
00:12:26,146 --> 00:12:27,447
Do you know what
Tuesday's news is?
252
00:12:27,481 --> 00:12:29,849
We want the debate.
That's the prize.
253
00:12:29,883 --> 00:12:33,252
Those guys are studying on a Friday night
of a three-day weekend.
254
00:12:33,286 --> 00:12:35,554
- Okay, next question.
- Congresswoman Bachmann,
255
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:38,957
you're a proponent of reforming
Social Security and Medicare.
256
00:12:38,991 --> 00:12:41,026
Can you give us some details
of the reforms you have in mind?
257
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:44,129
I'd start by reducing benefits for
all but current recipients
258
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,231
as part of an effort to
reduce the federal deficit.
259
00:12:46,265 --> 00:12:49,067
I'd like to add that President Obama
has already transferred
260
00:12:49,101 --> 00:12:52,270
over $500 billion out of Medicare
and into Obamacare,
261
00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:54,172
which I will repeal
on my first day in office.
262
00:12:54,206 --> 00:12:57,074
Ms. Bachmann, are you aware
that presidents can't repeal laws?
263
00:12:57,109 --> 00:13:00,578
I, Jim, am aware of that,
but...
264
00:13:00,612 --> 00:13:01,913
Where are you
getting the quote?
265
00:13:01,947 --> 00:13:04,682
BigGovernment.com.
It's right here.
266
00:13:06,518 --> 00:13:08,319
- Hmm.
- What?
267
00:13:08,353 --> 00:13:12,023
Anthony Weiner's
Twitter account got hacked.
268
00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:14,358
- Can I suggest a way to turn lemons into lemonade?
- Sure.
269
00:13:14,392 --> 00:13:17,060
First you squeeze the juice from the lemons.
Then add sugar and water.
270
00:13:17,094 --> 00:13:19,729
And you're not really into this joke,
so I'm just going to say what I really wanted to say.
271
00:13:19,764 --> 00:13:22,832
The Casey Anthony story
actually gives us a chance to show
272
00:13:22,866 --> 00:13:24,934
how important the
debt ceiling story is if we lead
273
00:13:24,968 --> 00:13:26,468
with the debt ceiling
instead of Casey Anthony.
274
00:13:26,503 --> 00:13:28,370
When do you have
to go to your raver?
275
00:13:28,405 --> 00:13:30,038
- I've got plenty of time.
- Tea, can I have another?
276
00:13:30,073 --> 00:13:32,441
- Yeah.
- Hey, how about Brian Brenner?
277
00:13:32,475 --> 00:13:34,376
I've been reading him for years
and didn't know what he looked like.
278
00:13:34,411 --> 00:13:35,912
- He's cute.
- Yeah.
279
00:13:35,946 --> 00:13:37,313
- Is he single?
- He is.
280
00:13:37,347 --> 00:13:38,747
- Are you interested?
- Nope.
281
00:13:38,782 --> 00:13:41,784
That's contempt prior
to investigation.
282
00:13:41,818 --> 00:13:44,453
No, it's contempt after
thorough investigation.
283
00:13:44,488 --> 00:13:46,088
- You dated him?
- I did.
284
00:13:46,123 --> 00:13:49,492
- When?
- About six years ago.
285
00:13:49,526 --> 00:13:50,659
That's-- Wait.
286
00:13:50,694 --> 00:13:52,628
- That's--
- Yeah.
287
00:13:54,298 --> 00:13:56,866
Six years ago, you were with
the guy you were with before Will.
288
00:13:56,901 --> 00:13:59,369
Yeah.
289
00:14:01,406 --> 00:14:03,140
- But that would--
- Oh, my God, Sloan.
290
00:14:03,174 --> 00:14:04,875
It's like the land
where time stands still.
291
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:07,512
Brian Brenner is the guy
I cheated on Will with.
292
00:14:10,216 --> 00:14:12,851
I'd been with Will for a year
and Brian started calling me again.
293
00:14:12,886 --> 00:14:15,153
- Wow.
- Yeah.
294
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:17,289
- Why would he do the piece?
- Brian?
295
00:14:17,323 --> 00:14:18,323
- Yeah.
- He needs a cover story.
296
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,924
And why would Will
have Brian do the piece?
297
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:22,393
That's a perfectly fair question
to which I have no answer.
298
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:25,163
This is really messed up.
299
00:14:25,197 --> 00:14:29,200
Look, I'll do my best to find you
the time you need for the story.
300
00:14:29,234 --> 00:14:32,003
We just need to hope there's
no new piece of nonsense
301
00:14:32,037 --> 00:14:36,273
I have to jam into my 22 minutes
of Short Attention Span Theater.
302
00:14:36,307 --> 00:14:38,175
Anthony Weiner accidently tweeted
303
00:14:38,209 --> 00:14:40,744
a picture of his groin
to 40,000 followers.
304
00:14:44,883 --> 00:14:47,684
And I don't consider it
that big a federal offense,
305
00:14:47,718 --> 00:14:50,287
but people want to pay attention
to it and I guess I get it.
306
00:14:50,321 --> 00:14:52,122
When you're named Weiner,
it kind of goes with the territory.
307
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:54,091
Have you ever taken a picture
like this of yourself?
308
00:14:54,125 --> 00:14:56,559
I can tell you this,
that there are--
309
00:14:56,594 --> 00:14:58,228
I have photographs.
310
00:14:58,263 --> 00:15:00,731
I don't know what photographs
are out there in the world of me.
311
00:15:00,765 --> 00:15:03,534
I don't know what things have
been manipulated and doctored.
312
00:15:03,568 --> 00:15:06,637
And we're gonna try
to find out what happened.
313
00:15:06,671 --> 00:15:09,540
But the most important reason I want to
find out what happened is to make sure...
314
00:15:09,574 --> 00:15:13,844
Weiner, McAvoy. Call me.
You're getting terrible advice.
315
00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:18,248
Well, the choices are to
do something or to do nothing.
316
00:15:18,282 --> 00:15:21,717
If we do nothing, then the audience
turns to the nearest guy doing something.
317
00:15:21,752 --> 00:15:23,953
What exactly
would our report be?
318
00:15:23,988 --> 00:15:26,055
That he's not answering
questions very well?
319
00:15:26,089 --> 00:15:28,090
- I don't know. Give me three minutes.
- To report what?
320
00:15:28,124 --> 00:15:31,059
I don't know. But if I do nothing,
it's gonna look like I'm protecting a liberal.
321
00:15:31,094 --> 00:15:33,862
Since when did we start caring about
what it looks like instead of what it is?
322
00:15:33,897 --> 00:15:36,498
Reports on the Tea Party won't
have credibility if we're not balanced.
323
00:15:36,532 --> 00:15:39,901
Will, you're the one
who said that balance
324
00:15:39,935 --> 00:15:42,270
for its own sake doesn't
have any place in reporting.
325
00:15:42,304 --> 00:15:46,040
One from column A and one
from column B is bullshit.
326
00:15:46,075 --> 00:15:50,011
And boorish behavior isn't the same as
taking the US Treasury hostage.
327
00:15:50,045 --> 00:15:53,247
And when the RNC boys come here on Friday,
they won't see it the same way.
328
00:15:53,281 --> 00:15:56,050
And you'll explain to them we
don't care that he's sexting.
329
00:15:56,084 --> 00:15:59,053
- We care how he votes.
- And they'll understand, give us the debate,
330
00:15:59,087 --> 00:16:02,423
let us use the format we want,
and we'll all go out for chocolate milk shakes.
331
00:16:02,457 --> 00:16:05,859
Three minutes in the B block,
please, after Casey Anthony.
332
00:16:05,893 --> 00:16:07,727
Okay.
333
00:16:07,762 --> 00:16:09,763
I know it seems like
a story that only affects
334
00:16:09,797 --> 00:16:13,733
300,000 people in Queens,
but since there's sex involved,
335
00:16:13,767 --> 00:16:16,236
we can't deny
its national importance.
336
00:16:16,270 --> 00:16:20,107
Especially since we don't know
all or even any of the facts.
337
00:16:21,977 --> 00:16:25,447
Three minutes.
I assume you want the pictures.
338
00:16:26,349 --> 00:16:28,583
Good meeting.
339
00:16:33,857 --> 00:16:36,425
I'm pretty familiar
with that tone of voice.
340
00:16:36,460 --> 00:16:39,229
- I guess you are, too?
- I am.
341
00:16:43,134 --> 00:16:45,768
No one's been hitting the Tea Party
as hard as you've been.
342
00:16:45,803 --> 00:16:47,971
- Certainly no Republican.
- That's not true.
343
00:16:48,005 --> 00:16:50,673
David Frum, Mark McKinnon,
Alan Simpson,
344
00:16:50,707 --> 00:16:52,008
Steve Schmidt, Andrew Sullivan.
345
00:16:52,042 --> 00:16:54,110
Okay, but none of them
work for Leona Lansing.
346
00:16:54,144 --> 00:16:56,346
I don't know.
I think everybody works for Leona Lansing.
347
00:16:56,381 --> 00:17:00,150
She can't be happy that you're beating up
people AWM needs on the Hill.
348
00:17:00,184 --> 00:17:02,686
I'm really not an expert on what
does or doesn't make Leona happy.
349
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,821
Has she ever asked you
to tone it down?
350
00:17:04,856 --> 00:17:07,157
I'm not doing your
reporting for you, Brian.
351
00:17:07,191 --> 00:17:09,693
I'm doing my reporting myself.
I'm asking you a question.
352
00:17:09,727 --> 00:17:13,297
I'm not commenting on or off the record
about either Leona or Reese Lansing.
353
00:17:13,331 --> 00:17:16,534
- Does she want you fired?
- If she wanted me fired, I'd be fired.
354
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:18,569
All she has to do
is buy my contract,
355
00:17:18,603 --> 00:17:20,704
which she can do with the money
under her sofa cushion.
356
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:22,740
But then she'd have to explain
why she was firing
357
00:17:22,774 --> 00:17:25,043
the second most watched
anchor on cable
358
00:17:25,077 --> 00:17:26,978
and she can't do that.
359
00:17:27,013 --> 00:17:29,781
Is it a coincidence that
the tabloid stories about you
360
00:17:29,816 --> 00:17:31,149
started right after
the election?
361
00:17:31,184 --> 00:17:33,185
I don't know.
362
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:36,287
Do you think she's using
her own tabloid magazine
363
00:17:36,322 --> 00:17:37,822
to manufacture
a reason to fire you?
364
00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:39,957
That would be
a smart way to do it.
365
00:17:39,992 --> 00:17:42,126
And, of course,
if you lost half your audience
366
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,095
because your show was too highbrow
to cover Casey Anthony,
367
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:46,864
she wouldn't even need to
work that hard to do it.
368
00:17:46,898 --> 00:17:50,567
Firing an anchor for losing half his audience
isn't unreasonable,
369
00:17:50,601 --> 00:17:52,102
if that's what you're asking.
370
00:17:52,136 --> 00:17:54,137
It wasn't and you know it.
371
00:17:56,206 --> 00:17:59,242
You're trying to get me to write this story
without your fingerprints on it.
372
00:17:59,276 --> 00:18:03,546
AWM has to do business with Congress
and you're making it much harder.
373
00:18:03,581 --> 00:18:06,582
Leona wants you fired,
but can't do it unless she can explain it.
374
00:18:06,617 --> 00:18:09,184
She's hoping the tabloid stories
build to a critical mass
375
00:18:09,219 --> 00:18:11,753
or that your ratings tank.
376
00:18:11,788 --> 00:18:14,389
Say something if I'm wrong,
say nothing if I'm right.
377
00:18:18,228 --> 00:18:20,597
For what it's worth,
I'd cave, too.
378
00:18:20,631 --> 00:18:25,669
No serious journalist would ever agree
to the demands I made on Friday.
379
00:18:25,703 --> 00:18:28,104
So for what it's worth,
you already did.
380
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:33,244
Are you ready to answer questions
about the newsletter?
381
00:18:33,278 --> 00:18:35,880
- I haven't read it.
- The mock debate's Friday.
382
00:18:35,914 --> 00:18:38,316
No, I'm being Ron Paul right now.
I didn't write it.
383
00:18:38,350 --> 00:18:39,551
I've never read it.
I've never heard it.
384
00:18:39,585 --> 00:18:41,686
It's got my name on it,
I've made money from it.
385
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:44,222
The newsletters would
get a standing ovation at a Klan rally,
386
00:18:44,257 --> 00:18:46,324
but you should stop asking me
questions about them.
387
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,426
- You need a better answer.
- He needs a better answer.
388
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:51,096
Tell you what question
I'd start off with.
389
00:18:51,130 --> 00:18:53,365
- Congresswoman Bachmann.
- Yes?
390
00:18:53,399 --> 00:18:56,234
You've said that you were told
to run for president by God.
391
00:18:56,268 --> 00:18:58,069
- Please, I don't--
- You have, right?
392
00:18:58,103 --> 00:19:01,338
You've said on a number of occasions
that God told you to run for president.
393
00:19:01,373 --> 00:19:03,507
I have some clips here if you'd
like me to refresh your memory.
394
00:19:03,541 --> 00:19:05,241
- Nope, my memory is fresh.
- Here's my question.
395
00:19:05,276 --> 00:19:07,110
- Good.
- What does God's voice sound like?
396
00:19:07,145 --> 00:19:09,679
I'm completely serious.
397
00:19:09,713 --> 00:19:12,448
She's saying that
God spoke directly to her.
398
00:19:12,483 --> 00:19:14,150
How is this not the first question
asked in a debate?
399
00:19:14,185 --> 00:19:15,919
How's it not the only question?
400
00:19:15,953 --> 00:19:18,689
What does His voice sound like?
401
00:19:18,723 --> 00:19:21,726
What did He say
exactly word for word?
402
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,530
Did He speak in Hebrew?
Acadian? Kiswahili-Bantu?
403
00:19:25,564 --> 00:19:29,267
And to put it in a medical context,
is this the first time you've heard voices?
404
00:19:29,301 --> 00:19:31,536
She's claiming to be a prophet.
405
00:19:31,570 --> 00:19:33,605
The whole world is sitting
on the edge of their seat.
406
00:19:33,639 --> 00:19:36,108
How is this not the first
question we'll ask?
407
00:19:36,142 --> 00:19:39,044
First of all, can you stop pointing at me
and saying she and her?
408
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:41,213
You're the one
who wanted to play a woman.
409
00:19:41,248 --> 00:19:42,815
But tell me why that
question is out of line.
410
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:45,485
Because it's not the best way
to demonstrate seriousness of intent
411
00:19:45,519 --> 00:19:47,487
and it's not the best way
not to insult people.
412
00:19:47,521 --> 00:19:50,256
- Which people?
- Christians. 83% of the country.
413
00:19:50,291 --> 00:19:52,726
I'm one of them.
And she's insulting me.
414
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,661
Please, stop pointing at me
when you are--
415
00:19:54,696 --> 00:19:57,598
Relax, J. Edgar.
She's insulting me,
416
00:19:57,632 --> 00:20:00,501
she's insulting my family,
she's insulting my congregation,
417
00:20:00,535 --> 00:20:01,936
and she's insulting my faith.
418
00:20:01,970 --> 00:20:04,238
She's implying that
Christians are imbeciles
419
00:20:04,273 --> 00:20:06,608
who will believe anything
while reducing God
420
00:20:06,642 --> 00:20:09,277
to a party hack who endorses
political candidates.
421
00:20:09,312 --> 00:20:12,614
Now, maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe this is the first time since Moses
422
00:20:12,649 --> 00:20:15,918
that God has given direct instructions
to someone other than His son.
423
00:20:15,952 --> 00:20:18,220
But if so, I think
it deserves a follow-up.
424
00:20:18,255 --> 00:20:20,556
We're not going to get the debate
if we're mocking their candidates.
425
00:20:20,591 --> 00:20:22,791
The whole point
of the new debate format
426
00:20:22,826 --> 00:20:24,660
is to compel the candidates
to tell the truth
427
00:20:24,694 --> 00:20:26,796
and make them responsible
for their own rhetoric
428
00:20:26,830 --> 00:20:29,531
by asking tougher questions
than a Match.com profile.
429
00:20:29,566 --> 00:20:33,168
If she knows what God wants,
then I'm voting for her.
430
00:20:33,203 --> 00:20:35,204
If she doesn't,
she should stop saying so.
431
00:20:35,238 --> 00:20:37,406
I'm not attacking Christians.
I'm defending them.
432
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,341
- All right.
- Just a moment, please.
433
00:20:39,375 --> 00:20:42,244
- What?
- I'm standing up for the tens of millions of Christians
434
00:20:42,278 --> 00:20:45,647
who are tired of being represented
by having our identity--
435
00:20:45,682 --> 00:20:47,583
There's been an identity theft.
436
00:20:47,617 --> 00:20:49,785
That's it.
That's the one I want.
437
00:20:51,822 --> 00:20:53,689
I think you already know
that starting tonight,
438
00:20:53,724 --> 00:20:55,991
we're leading with Casey Anthony.
439
00:20:56,025 --> 00:20:58,493
Does anyone have
a problem with that?
440
00:20:58,528 --> 00:21:01,463
All right, well,
we lost almost half a million viewers
441
00:21:01,497 --> 00:21:03,131
to Nancy Grace last week.
442
00:21:03,165 --> 00:21:05,066
Does anyone still have
a problem with it?
443
00:21:05,100 --> 00:21:08,636
We're gonna clear out some of
these stories to make room.
444
00:21:08,670 --> 00:21:12,606
"Senate obstruction
become worst in US history."
445
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,708
That's a report
by the Alliance For Justice.
446
00:21:14,743 --> 00:21:17,712
The Senate's confirmed a smaller percentage
of Obama's judicial appointees
447
00:21:17,746 --> 00:21:19,613
than any other Senate
and any other president.
448
00:21:19,648 --> 00:21:22,016
No reason to care about that.
449
00:21:22,050 --> 00:21:25,386
"Job situation dire,
new stimulus needed."
450
00:21:25,420 --> 00:21:28,322
This Congress ran on jobs,
but they're focused on debt.
451
00:21:28,357 --> 00:21:31,792
According to the payroll
company ADP--
452
00:21:31,827 --> 00:21:34,428
I just solved unemployment.
453
00:21:34,463 --> 00:21:37,832
"AFL-CIO sours on Obama."
454
00:21:37,867 --> 00:21:40,030
We've got an analyst
lined up to give a report card
455
00:21:40,065 --> 00:21:41,398
on Obama's union relationship.
456
00:21:41,432 --> 00:21:43,733
Will the AFL-CIO still be
sour on him tomorrow?
457
00:21:43,768 --> 00:21:46,970
- I don't know.
- Let's find out.
458
00:21:47,004 --> 00:21:50,640
All right, to give us
a crash course in how best
459
00:21:50,674 --> 00:21:52,775
to exploit this tragedy
and to erase all boundaries
460
00:21:52,809 --> 00:21:54,877
of what should be used
as entertainment,
461
00:21:54,911 --> 00:21:58,480
I've enlisted the help
of a master of the dark arts.
462
00:21:58,514 --> 00:22:01,149
I understand I'm needed.
463
00:22:01,183 --> 00:22:04,185
- Thank you.
- Forget everything you know about the news.
464
00:22:04,219 --> 00:22:06,387
Done.
What's next?
465
00:22:39,353 --> 00:22:40,687
I'm Charlie Skinner.
466
00:22:40,721 --> 00:22:42,589
Good to meet you.
467
00:22:42,623 --> 00:22:44,891
Should I just sit here?
468
00:22:44,926 --> 00:22:47,527
Sure.
469
00:22:47,562 --> 00:22:49,930
Should I call you Mr. Hancock?
470
00:22:49,964 --> 00:22:51,765
It's Schneider.
471
00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:53,867
- Schneider?
- Ezra Schneider.
472
00:22:53,901 --> 00:22:56,436
How the hell many aliases
do you have?
473
00:22:56,471 --> 00:22:57,838
I beg your pardon?
474
00:22:57,872 --> 00:22:59,940
Are you Late For Dinner?
475
00:22:59,974 --> 00:23:02,910
Mister, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
476
00:23:02,944 --> 00:23:05,212
Charlie.
477
00:23:07,849 --> 00:23:10,117
That has to have been
strange for you.
478
00:23:15,542 --> 00:23:17,162
Late For Dinner?
479
00:23:17,180 --> 00:23:20,081
- Solomon Hancock.
- Charlie Skinner.
480
00:23:20,116 --> 00:23:22,784
I thought because of
the carnation--
481
00:23:22,818 --> 00:23:24,753
Did we say anything
about a carnation?
482
00:23:24,787 --> 00:23:28,491
No, but it's usually
the international sign for--
483
00:23:28,525 --> 00:23:30,092
It doesn't matter.
484
00:23:30,126 --> 00:23:32,094
I'm a busy guy and if
you're faffin' me around...
485
00:23:32,128 --> 00:23:34,029
Would you mind taking
the battery out of your cell phone?
486
00:23:34,064 --> 00:23:37,266
The walls in the New York Public Library
are three feet thick.
487
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:38,967
That's why we're meeting here.
But I'd like you
488
00:23:39,002 --> 00:23:40,936
to take the battery
out of your cell phone.
489
00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:42,738
You have reason to believe
you're under surveillance?
490
00:23:42,772 --> 00:23:45,107
Everyone's under surveillance.
If you've got a cell phone--
491
00:23:45,141 --> 00:23:46,775
It's talk like that
that makes me--
492
00:23:46,809 --> 00:23:49,444
Did I or did I not
establish credibility on May 1st?
493
00:23:49,478 --> 00:23:53,448
You correctly predicted that
we'd all be called to work, yes.
494
00:23:53,482 --> 00:23:56,751
Sometimes at the NSA,
we download a rolling bug
495
00:23:56,785 --> 00:23:59,954
onto smartphones
to slave the microphone.
496
00:23:59,988 --> 00:24:02,557
You ever get
an unwanted text message?
497
00:24:02,591 --> 00:24:05,159
All the time,
but they're from my boss.
498
00:24:05,194 --> 00:24:08,029
Here.
499
00:24:08,063 --> 00:24:11,198
I'll never be able
to put that back together.
500
00:24:11,233 --> 00:24:13,267
They're coming out with a better model
in six months.
501
00:24:13,301 --> 00:24:15,368
That's unusual
for the tech industry.
502
00:24:16,904 --> 00:24:18,839
Can you tell me
a little about yourself?
503
00:24:18,873 --> 00:24:22,309
I started out chasing around
a Soviet Pacific Fleet
504
00:24:22,343 --> 00:24:25,178
doing signal intelligence cryptology
for the Navy.
505
00:24:25,212 --> 00:24:29,716
But when the Berlin Wall came down,
my war was over.
506
00:24:29,751 --> 00:24:32,953
So I went into the private sector
like everybody else in the '90s,
507
00:24:32,987 --> 00:24:34,355
only not for a dot-com,
508
00:24:34,389 --> 00:24:37,658
doing data compression
for fiber optics.
509
00:24:37,693 --> 00:24:40,495
Then 9/11 happened
and I decided
510
00:24:40,529 --> 00:24:43,164
it was a good time to get back
into public service hunting bad guys.
511
00:24:43,198 --> 00:24:44,265
You're an IT guy.
512
00:24:44,300 --> 00:24:47,269
My title is Assistant Deputy Director
513
00:24:47,303 --> 00:24:50,972
of Technology and Systems,
Cryptology, and Mathematics at NSA.
514
00:24:55,011 --> 00:24:56,478
I'm gonna have to--
515
00:24:59,650 --> 00:25:01,718
I product test software.
516
00:25:01,752 --> 00:25:04,220
- NSA software?
- Yes, sir.
517
00:25:04,254 --> 00:25:06,489
Can you tell me
about the software?
518
00:25:07,758 --> 00:25:09,359
It's data mining.
519
00:25:09,393 --> 00:25:12,195
One of the ways the NSA
was tracking bin Laden,
520
00:25:12,230 --> 00:25:13,897
or any terrorist for that matter,
521
00:25:13,931 --> 00:25:17,166
was to write code
that would sift through
522
00:25:17,201 --> 00:25:19,168
millions of electronic
communications
523
00:25:19,203 --> 00:25:21,237
looking for a needle
in a giant haystack.
524
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:24,373
You know the machine
that Batman uses in The Dark Knight
525
00:25:24,407 --> 00:25:26,808
to find the Joker,
but when Morgan Freeman finds out about it,
526
00:25:26,843 --> 00:25:29,878
he says, "I'm quitting because
no man should have this much power"?
527
00:25:29,912 --> 00:25:32,880
- No.
- No what?
528
00:25:32,915 --> 00:25:36,818
- I do not know that machine.
- Well, it exists.
529
00:25:36,852 --> 00:25:40,159
We gave the contract to
two defense contracting big boys
530
00:25:40,193 --> 00:25:42,594
and it was my job mostly to
make sure that they delivered
531
00:25:42,629 --> 00:25:44,129
and that it worked.
532
00:25:44,164 --> 00:25:46,866
The project title
is GLOBAL CLARITY
533
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:50,904
and it intercepts
1.7 billion phone calls,
534
00:25:50,938 --> 00:25:53,039
emails, and texts every day.
535
00:25:53,074 --> 00:25:54,875
- Legally?
- By what standard?
536
00:25:54,909 --> 00:25:56,910
- The law.
- No.
537
00:25:56,944 --> 00:25:59,346
It involves a significant
amount of illegal,
538
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:01,615
warrantless wiretapping
of American citizens.
539
00:26:01,649 --> 00:26:04,784
Just to be--
When you say warrantless,
540
00:26:04,819 --> 00:26:06,686
are you saying unnecessary?
541
00:26:06,721 --> 00:26:09,590
Without a warrant.
Warrantless.
542
00:26:09,624 --> 00:26:11,892
We could hunt
for terrorists legally,
543
00:26:11,926 --> 00:26:14,761
but due to our bosses'
devotion to GLOBAL CLARITY,
544
00:26:14,796 --> 00:26:18,432
the NSA has been happily
violating the Fourth Amendment,
545
00:26:18,466 --> 00:26:20,367
USSID 18,
546
00:26:20,401 --> 00:26:24,838
and about a dozen of the NSA's
own regulations about spying on Americans.
547
00:26:24,873 --> 00:26:28,042
You've got guys
listening in on ex-wives,
548
00:26:28,076 --> 00:26:30,778
dropping in on calls
from soldiers overseas,
549
00:26:30,813 --> 00:26:32,980
checking out what
movie stars are up to.
550
00:26:33,015 --> 00:26:35,216
Am I the first person
you've talked to about this?
551
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:38,553
No, stop confusing me
with Donald Sutherland in JFK.
552
00:26:38,587 --> 00:26:40,354
Well, a second ago,
you were Morgan Freeman.
553
00:26:40,389 --> 00:26:42,356
I have testified
in front of Congress
554
00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:45,259
and to the Pentagon Inspector General.
I got nowhere.
555
00:26:45,293 --> 00:26:47,562
Nobody on the Hill
wants to admit it's fucked up
556
00:26:47,596 --> 00:26:51,699
because nobody wants to
be seen as post-9/11 soft.
557
00:26:51,734 --> 00:26:54,302
Where does AWM come in?
558
00:26:54,337 --> 00:26:56,905
Atlantis World Media
owns Atlantis Cable News.
559
00:26:56,940 --> 00:27:00,042
- Yeah.
- It also owns the tabloid TMI.
560
00:27:00,076 --> 00:27:03,045
- Yeah.
- The shit that's happening
561
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,181
at Murdoch's News of the World in London,
562
00:27:05,215 --> 00:27:07,684
TMI has been doing
the same thing for years.
563
00:27:07,718 --> 00:27:10,887
- How high does it go?
- I don't know.
564
00:27:10,921 --> 00:27:13,156
Does it go as high as Leona Lansing?
565
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:14,791
- No.
- Good.
566
00:27:14,825 --> 00:27:17,460
It goes as high as her son.
567
00:27:17,494 --> 00:27:20,997
TMI is doing phone
and computer hacking
568
00:27:21,031 --> 00:27:22,632
and Reese Lansing knows?
569
00:27:22,666 --> 00:27:24,834
Reese has been ordering it.
570
00:27:24,868 --> 00:27:27,670
- I'm gonna give you--
- Hang on.
571
00:27:27,704 --> 00:27:29,705
I need to digest that.
572
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:33,642
Reese Lansing is James Murdoch,
573
00:27:33,676 --> 00:27:36,311
but Lansing's been ordering it.
574
00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:39,014
Digested yet?
575
00:27:44,187 --> 00:27:45,787
These classified?
576
00:27:45,822 --> 00:27:47,756
Yeah, because I'm dying
to violate the Espionage Act.
577
00:27:47,790 --> 00:27:50,426
These are just transcripts
of my testimony
578
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:53,129
before the House subcommittee
and the Pentagon.
579
00:27:53,163 --> 00:27:56,866
Vet me, vet the material.
Take all the time you need.
580
00:27:56,900 --> 00:27:58,968
Why are you whistle-blowing?
581
00:28:00,370 --> 00:28:02,638
I fought the Soviets.
582
00:28:02,672 --> 00:28:05,240
The way their government
made their people live their lives
583
00:28:05,274 --> 00:28:07,843
was a very good reason
to fight them.
584
00:28:07,877 --> 00:28:10,078
After 9/11,
585
00:28:10,113 --> 00:28:12,748
we started doing
the exact same thing.
586
00:28:12,782 --> 00:28:15,851
I didn't spend my life
fighting Communists
587
00:28:15,885 --> 00:28:17,786
to have it come to this.
588
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,289
Report on GLOBAL CLARITY.
589
00:28:20,323 --> 00:28:22,558
And once I see that report,
I'll give you what you need
590
00:28:22,592 --> 00:28:24,493
to protect yourself
from Leona Lansing.
591
00:28:24,528 --> 00:28:27,463
How do you know we need
protecting from Leona Lansing?
592
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:30,399
Have you been listening?
'Cause we have.
593
00:28:50,286 --> 00:28:52,887
This woman is the best I've ever seen.
594
00:28:52,922 --> 00:28:54,723
Center screen is Nancy.
595
00:28:54,757 --> 00:28:56,892
These three corners are
live feeds of the guest experts.
596
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,294
- What are they experts in?
- Agreeing with everything Nancy says.
597
00:28:59,328 --> 00:29:01,096
- But what keeps your atten--
- Excuse me.
598
00:29:02,999 --> 00:29:05,034
This is Brian Brenner,
everyone.
599
00:29:05,068 --> 00:29:07,336
It's possible he's going to be
writing a feature on 2.0.
600
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:09,705
But we're in a
tryout period right now.
601
00:29:09,739 --> 00:29:11,140
Everything's off the record.
602
00:29:11,174 --> 00:29:13,309
Go ahead.
What keeps our attention?
603
00:29:13,343 --> 00:29:14,877
Is the bottom right corner
where they're playing
604
00:29:14,945 --> 00:29:17,213
a loop of little Caylee
from a home video.
605
00:29:17,247 --> 00:29:20,984
Question: Hell.
Do you think it's as bad as everyone says it is?
606
00:29:21,018 --> 00:29:23,754
That was a tribute to Caylee.
607
00:29:23,788 --> 00:29:27,091
But how will they
explain the duct tape
608
00:29:27,125 --> 00:29:29,427
around the child's
mouth and nose?
609
00:29:29,461 --> 00:29:30,828
And how will they explain
610
00:29:30,863 --> 00:29:34,165
all the lies that Tot Mom told?
611
00:29:34,199 --> 00:29:36,033
Now they're not talking
about the tattoo
612
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:38,168
on Casey's back,
but they put it full screen. Why?
613
00:29:38,203 --> 00:29:40,003
Because Tess was just about
to look somewhere else,
614
00:29:40,038 --> 00:29:42,038
so they changed the frame to anything
that might keep her attention.
615
00:29:42,073 --> 00:29:44,640
He's right.
I was gonna Google Mac's hell question.
616
00:29:44,675 --> 00:29:46,108
Plus tattoo equals bad mom.
617
00:29:46,143 --> 00:29:48,044
No one's ever gone broke
in America serving up
618
00:29:48,112 --> 00:29:49,512
a woman who makes other
women feel superior.
619
00:29:49,546 --> 00:29:51,647
The series of lies
620
00:29:51,682 --> 00:29:54,383
that finally came
crashing down around her.
621
00:29:54,417 --> 00:29:56,385
If she would lie about that,
622
00:29:56,419 --> 00:29:58,853
why should I believe
an accident is true?
623
00:29:58,888 --> 00:30:01,055
Don't spend time thinking
about her airtight syllogism.
624
00:30:01,090 --> 00:30:03,391
Her EP's showing duct tape
and a plastic bag,
625
00:30:03,425 --> 00:30:06,127
so you know you're watching
the real CSI Miami.
626
00:30:06,161 --> 00:30:08,129
How to make weapons
627
00:30:08,163 --> 00:30:10,998
out of home materials
found in the home.
628
00:30:11,032 --> 00:30:13,500
About breaking necks.
629
00:30:13,535 --> 00:30:15,869
How can they explain that?
630
00:30:15,903 --> 00:30:18,238
They can't explain it, Nancy.
631
00:30:18,273 --> 00:30:21,642
The defense is doing what
the defense has to do.
632
00:30:21,676 --> 00:30:24,144
Now, Bill Sheaffer
has done his job.
633
00:30:24,179 --> 00:30:26,680
He agreed with Nancy.
We don't need to see his face anymore.
634
00:30:26,715 --> 00:30:28,916
Look how cute Caylee is.
635
00:30:28,951 --> 00:30:31,653
She deserved better
than a mom with a tattoo.
636
00:30:31,687 --> 00:30:33,187
She deserved...
637
00:30:33,222 --> 00:30:36,090
- She deserved...
- Me.
638
00:30:36,124 --> 00:30:37,925
- Me.
- Me.
639
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,294
Tess, how's that
Google search coming?
640
00:30:40,329 --> 00:30:42,664
It does look pretty bad.
A lot of fire.
641
00:30:42,698 --> 00:30:45,466
You'll notice little of her coverage
in this instance is about the law.
642
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:47,267
You know, come to think of it,
I did notice that.
643
00:30:47,302 --> 00:30:49,103
It's all based on
an emotional appeal.
644
00:30:49,137 --> 00:30:51,772
The way she would with a jury
if there was no judge there to stop her.
645
00:30:51,806 --> 00:30:53,674
Watch how she breaks down
courtroom footage.
646
00:30:53,708 --> 00:30:56,377
Liz, let's see
the video of Tot Mom
647
00:30:56,411 --> 00:31:00,381
and Jose Baez back at it
in court again today.
648
00:31:00,415 --> 00:31:04,953
Not a good look between
a death penalty defendant
649
00:31:04,987 --> 00:31:07,355
and the lead defense attorney.
650
00:31:07,389 --> 00:31:09,123
Two seconds.
651
00:31:09,158 --> 00:31:12,193
Two seconds of Casey Anthony
walking past her lawyer--
652
00:31:12,227 --> 00:31:14,128
And she'll show it
to you in slow motion
653
00:31:14,163 --> 00:31:16,598
and from a different angle
654
00:31:16,632 --> 00:31:19,467
and at regular speed and from
the original angle again.
655
00:31:19,502 --> 00:31:21,536
- What does that remind you of?
- Instant replay in sports.
656
00:31:21,570 --> 00:31:23,371
And she looks pretty
pissed at her lawyer.
657
00:31:23,405 --> 00:31:26,107
And that's exactly why she's showing it
to you so many times.
658
00:31:26,142 --> 00:31:28,543
So you have a chance to draw your own
thoroughly uninformed opinion
659
00:31:28,578 --> 00:31:30,246
about an utterly
innocuous exchange.
660
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:31,747
She looks pissed.
661
00:31:31,781 --> 00:31:34,517
I wonder if she's sleeping with her lawyer.
I bet she is.
662
00:31:34,551 --> 00:31:36,652
I wonder if that's what she looked like
when she killed Caylee.
663
00:31:36,686 --> 00:31:39,722
This is the best TV ever.
I've got to go on my Casey Anthony Facebook page
664
00:31:39,756 --> 00:31:42,325
and see if my Casey Anthony
Facebook friends just saw Casey Anthony
665
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:44,327
make a Casey Anthony face
at her Casey Anthony lawyer.
666
00:31:44,361 --> 00:31:47,096
All right, enough.
Will's a criminal prosecutor.
667
00:31:47,131 --> 00:31:50,232
Maybe he can talk about how our justice system
wasn't built to lock up guilty people.
668
00:31:50,266 --> 00:31:52,000
It was built to keep
innocent people free,
669
00:31:52,035 --> 00:31:54,670
which is something Americans should
be proud of and fiercely protect.
670
00:31:54,704 --> 00:31:56,505
No.
671
00:31:56,540 --> 00:31:58,808
He can't ever imply that the viewer
672
00:31:58,842 --> 00:32:00,576
doesn't already know everything
and that she might be innocent.
673
00:32:00,611 --> 00:32:03,447
If we're gonna cover this,
we're gonna cover it our way.
674
00:32:03,481 --> 00:32:05,215
What's the point of covering it at all
unless we do it
675
00:32:05,250 --> 00:32:06,950
in a way that gets
our audience back?
676
00:32:06,985 --> 00:32:08,986
A modest proposal.
We could ourselves
677
00:32:09,021 --> 00:32:10,588
commit murder on our air.
678
00:32:10,623 --> 00:32:13,091
In your face, Nancy Grace!
679
00:32:16,695 --> 00:32:18,363
How do we get the best guests?
680
00:32:18,397 --> 00:32:20,898
There's a guy you're gonna have to
deal with named Dylan Kagin.
681
00:32:20,933 --> 00:32:23,801
He's like the Broadway Danny
Rose of tabloid suffering.
682
00:32:23,836 --> 00:32:25,169
He's an agent?
683
00:32:25,204 --> 00:32:26,738
You ever ask yourself
why of all the missing kids
684
00:32:26,772 --> 00:32:28,472
and murdered coeds,
most of them go unnoticed
685
00:32:28,507 --> 00:32:30,508
- and some become national scandals?
- Sex appeal.
686
00:32:30,542 --> 00:32:33,645
Right, but someone's got to find Lana Turner
sitting at the drugstore counter.
687
00:32:33,679 --> 00:32:37,115
Dylan Kagin gropes through the trailer park
of American jurisprudence
688
00:32:37,149 --> 00:32:38,950
for what he calls
"Oh, my God" stories.
689
00:32:38,984 --> 00:32:41,752
Then he drops in on the victims,
the accused, the jurors, the cops,
690
00:32:41,787 --> 00:32:43,954
whoever he can sell to the press,
the networks, and the studios.
691
00:32:43,988 --> 00:32:45,389
He packages
the missing white girl.
692
00:32:45,423 --> 00:32:47,357
All right, that'll be the A block.
693
00:32:47,392 --> 00:32:48,659
By 2:00, show me where we are.
694
00:32:48,693 --> 00:32:50,193
The B block's gonna
be Anthony Weiner,
695
00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:51,962
so, Jim, start putting
something together.
696
00:32:51,996 --> 00:32:54,631
All we really have are the pictures
and Weiner not answering questions.
697
00:32:54,665 --> 00:32:57,501
- I know that.
- You don't want to wait until we have--
698
00:32:57,535 --> 00:32:59,636
Facts?
No, that would be newsy and elitist.
699
00:32:59,670 --> 00:33:01,771
Let's just call them--
The A and the B block--
700
00:33:01,806 --> 00:33:03,573
Let's just think
of them as a polished,
701
00:33:03,608 --> 00:33:05,475
tightly produced abomination.
702
00:33:05,510 --> 00:33:07,544
I've been sitting here
and I'm getting a little sick of this.
703
00:33:07,578 --> 00:33:09,513
- You and me both.
- Jesus Christ.
704
00:33:09,547 --> 00:33:12,082
For a few weeks, we're not gonna
ask the country to eat its vegetables.
705
00:33:12,117 --> 00:33:14,485
Why? Because there's
a debate we want to do
706
00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:17,354
that trumps all of your Sarah Lawrence
ethical conundrums.
707
00:33:17,388 --> 00:33:19,156
It shouldn't be
too hard to understand.
708
00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:21,358
So get it the fuck together.
709
00:33:23,861 --> 00:33:25,696
He happens to be right.
710
00:33:25,730 --> 00:33:27,931
"War on drugs a failure."
711
00:33:27,966 --> 00:33:30,467
I know how it feels.
712
00:33:34,339 --> 00:33:36,073
Show me where
we are at 2:00.
713
00:33:38,077 --> 00:33:40,846
- Can I see you a second?
- Yeah.
714
00:33:51,157 --> 00:33:53,592
- Do you mind if I sit in on--
- Yeah, sorry, no.
715
00:33:54,928 --> 00:33:57,196
Not sure that's the best way
to get good press.
716
00:33:57,231 --> 00:33:59,900
May 1st, the night we got bin Laden,
I got a call
717
00:33:59,934 --> 00:34:02,268
from an anonymous source at 7:30
718
00:34:02,303 --> 00:34:04,638
telling me the White House
would send an email blast
719
00:34:04,672 --> 00:34:06,973
to all the news agencies
in 90 minutes,
720
00:34:07,008 --> 00:34:09,677
and obviously it turned out
he was right.
721
00:34:09,711 --> 00:34:12,580
He was demonstrating his credibility.
722
00:34:12,614 --> 00:34:14,749
His name is Solomon Hancock.
723
00:34:14,783 --> 00:34:17,117
He works in software engineering
at the NSA
724
00:34:17,152 --> 00:34:19,319
and he handed me
a stack of documents,
725
00:34:19,354 --> 00:34:22,455
transcripts of his testimony
describing illegal surveillance.
726
00:34:22,490 --> 00:34:24,724
We have to start vetting him
and the documents.
727
00:34:24,758 --> 00:34:26,892
It's gonna take at least a few days,
but that's part one.
728
00:34:26,927 --> 00:34:28,293
What's part two?
729
00:34:28,328 --> 00:34:30,796
If we air his story,
he'll give us evidence
730
00:34:30,830 --> 00:34:33,898
that TMI's been doing the same thing
as News of the World.
731
00:34:36,101 --> 00:34:37,802
- Hacking?
- Everything.
732
00:34:37,837 --> 00:34:40,406
- TMI's been hacking?
- Hancock says he's got the proof.
733
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,808
Jesus Christ.
How high does he say it goes?
734
00:34:42,876 --> 00:34:44,143
Reese.
735
00:34:45,713 --> 00:34:47,981
- Let's get on with the vet.
- I'll have Jim run it.
736
00:34:48,015 --> 00:34:49,916
- Is he up for this?
- He is, Will.
737
00:34:49,950 --> 00:34:51,517
I taught him how to do the news.
738
00:34:51,552 --> 00:34:53,953
I taught them all how to do the news.
739
00:34:53,988 --> 00:34:56,289
Can you give us a second?
740
00:34:56,323 --> 00:34:58,625
I'm done.
741
00:35:02,896 --> 00:35:04,764
Why did it have to be Brian?
742
00:35:06,166 --> 00:35:08,634
Because I own him now.
He needs a cover story.
743
00:35:08,668 --> 00:35:10,469
If he writes a negative one,
he'll get slammed
744
00:35:10,504 --> 00:35:12,604
with the whole soap opera
of our history.
745
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:14,006
Are you lying right now?
746
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,442
- Anything else?
- Yeah.
747
00:35:16,476 --> 00:35:20,313
Sloan says on Thursday,
the House is gonna vote to default on our loans,
748
00:35:20,347 --> 00:35:22,982
leading to a global
economic meltdown.
749
00:35:23,017 --> 00:35:27,253
Should I put that before or after
Anthony Weiner in his underwear?
750
00:35:29,023 --> 00:35:31,491
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
751
00:35:39,900 --> 00:35:41,567
That's all for us tonight.
752
00:35:41,602 --> 00:35:43,602
Tomorrow we'll be bringing you
all the highlights
753
00:35:43,637 --> 00:35:46,439
from day seven of the trial
and Detective Yuri Melich,
754
00:35:46,473 --> 00:35:50,010
the first officer to interview
Casey Anthony in 2008.
755
00:35:50,044 --> 00:35:51,912
Terry Smith is coming up
from Washington
756
00:35:51,946 --> 00:35:54,014
with the Capital Report.
I'm Will McAvoy.
757
00:35:54,048 --> 00:35:56,850
Good night.
758
00:36:06,026 --> 00:36:09,161
Will McAvoy, your new choice
for Casey Anthony coverage.
759
00:36:09,196 --> 00:36:10,729
- They're coming home.
- Yeah?
760
00:36:10,764 --> 00:36:12,197
We promo'd the hell of it.
761
00:36:12,232 --> 00:36:14,066
We got 150,000 viewers back.
762
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:16,935
25-54, almost all women.
763
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:19,504
That's toasters,
furniture, food, clothes,
764
00:36:19,538 --> 00:36:22,339
kids' clothes, vacation plans.
765
00:36:22,374 --> 00:36:24,308
Our heads are above water now,
so do not stop.
766
00:36:24,342 --> 00:36:26,010
- We won't.
- How about this heat?
767
00:36:26,044 --> 00:36:28,078
- Yeah.
- 9:00 in the morning, it's already 87.
768
00:36:28,112 --> 00:36:30,280
It's gonna hit 98.
That would beat the record for this day
769
00:36:30,314 --> 00:36:32,649
- that was set in 1933.
- Yeah.
770
00:36:32,683 --> 00:36:34,651
- You're looking at me funny.
- Yeah?
771
00:36:34,685 --> 00:36:37,120
- I know you hate this.
- I'm looking at you the regular way.
772
00:36:37,154 --> 00:36:38,321
- If you say so.
- I do.
773
00:36:38,355 --> 00:36:41,491
There are also tornado warnings.
774
00:36:41,525 --> 00:36:44,194
- Reese.
- What?
775
00:36:44,228 --> 00:36:46,964
- Nothing.
- All right, so it's gonna get up to 98.
776
00:36:46,998 --> 00:36:50,301
That's a record.
And there are tornado warnings for New York City.
777
00:36:50,335 --> 00:36:52,503
Well, you know, Aunt Bee,
tornados are just God's way
778
00:36:52,538 --> 00:36:54,372
of destroying property
and killing people.
779
00:36:54,406 --> 00:36:55,873
People like hearing
about extreme weather.
780
00:36:55,907 --> 00:36:57,708
We're not doing a fucking
weather report, okay?
781
00:36:57,743 --> 00:36:59,611
We're not coming up with
some "Tornado Watch" graphic.
782
00:36:59,645 --> 00:37:01,746
We're a serious news organization.
783
00:37:01,780 --> 00:37:04,782
Tonight we'll be reporting on the
killer cocktail waitress and the congressman--
784
00:37:04,816 --> 00:37:07,218
- Is Mac bitching at you?
- Not nearly as much as she should be.
785
00:37:07,252 --> 00:37:10,254
I came in here to tell you
you got back 150,000 viewers
786
00:37:10,288 --> 00:37:11,822
you lost while you were
trying to be above it.
787
00:37:11,857 --> 00:37:13,991
We'll be sure not to try that again.
788
00:37:14,025 --> 00:37:15,459
98 degrees is when
we have power outages.
789
00:37:15,494 --> 00:37:17,328
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
790
00:37:17,362 --> 00:37:19,363
I don't want to go all
conspiracy theory on you,
791
00:37:19,397 --> 00:37:21,832
but I think the heat might
be related to power outages.
792
00:37:21,866 --> 00:37:24,668
- Take it easy.
- Say hi to your mom.
793
00:37:24,702 --> 00:37:26,770
Will do.
794
00:37:28,372 --> 00:37:31,408
Visiting hours will be
Tuesday and Friday.
795
00:37:31,475 --> 00:37:33,510
Don't be nervous.
796
00:37:36,313 --> 00:37:39,582
We got 150,000 viewers back last night.
Mostly women.
797
00:37:39,616 --> 00:37:41,116
- I know.
- I was telling her.
798
00:37:41,151 --> 00:37:44,120
You know, it's gonna get
up to 98 degrees.
799
00:37:44,154 --> 00:37:45,621
Next person who tells me
about the damn weather...
800
00:37:45,656 --> 00:37:46,956
Do you know what
you're doing here?
801
00:37:46,990 --> 00:37:48,891
I've been asked to
tell you about the weather.
802
00:37:48,925 --> 00:37:52,294
Does it feel to you like anyone in this room
is in the mood for a joke?
803
00:37:52,328 --> 00:37:54,462
It absolutely does not.
804
00:37:54,497 --> 00:37:56,431
We want you to lead
the vetting of this source.
805
00:37:56,466 --> 00:37:59,901
He's telling us about
illegal surveillance at the NSA.
806
00:37:59,935 --> 00:38:04,072
He's also telling us that TMI is in
the same game as News of the World.
807
00:38:04,107 --> 00:38:06,008
Jesus.
808
00:38:06,042 --> 00:38:08,543
We're looking at a couple
of scenarios, Jim.
809
00:38:08,578 --> 00:38:10,712
One is that we're sitting on a scoop
that could shake up the NSA
810
00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:12,547
and maybe have the country
take another look at the Patriot Act.
811
00:38:12,582 --> 00:38:14,750
But the TMI element,
doesn't that--
812
00:38:14,784 --> 00:38:17,319
And another is that someone's
trying to discredit us
813
00:38:17,354 --> 00:38:20,056
by having Will
get Dan Rather-ed.
814
00:38:20,090 --> 00:38:23,760
You'll need to file a couple of hundred
Freedom of Information Act requests
815
00:38:23,794 --> 00:38:26,329
and you'll need to get into
this guy's personal life
816
00:38:26,364 --> 00:38:28,799
and you'll need to do it all
817
00:38:28,833 --> 00:38:32,069
without raising
any flags at the NSA.
818
00:38:32,104 --> 00:38:33,604
Are you up for this?
819
00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:40,578
- Yeah.
- We don't need it fast, we need it right.
820
00:38:40,612 --> 00:38:43,747
- But we need it fast.
- I'll start mapping it out.
821
00:38:43,782 --> 00:38:45,615
Jim, since the day
you started working here,
822
00:38:45,650 --> 00:38:48,352
I never felt the need to remind you
about confidentiality
823
00:38:48,386 --> 00:38:50,287
and I don't feel that need now.
824
00:38:54,025 --> 00:38:56,093
Okay.
825
00:39:05,103 --> 00:39:06,738
- Gotcha.
- Oh, God.
826
00:39:06,772 --> 00:39:09,073
- You feel like being interviewed?
- You read my mind.
827
00:39:09,108 --> 00:39:10,909
I can't think of anything
I'd rather do right now
828
00:39:10,943 --> 00:39:12,811
than be interviewed
by my ex-boyfriend,
829
00:39:12,845 --> 00:39:14,078
except maybe eat my desk.
830
00:39:14,113 --> 00:39:16,514
- It seems like a bad week to be here.
- It is.
831
00:39:16,548 --> 00:39:19,517
I came here to write a story about how Will
and News Night changed overnight.
832
00:39:19,551 --> 00:39:21,585
- And then you changed overnight.
- Look.
833
00:39:21,619 --> 00:39:24,154
- It's the old Will all over--
- These are extraordinary circumstances.
834
00:39:24,188 --> 00:39:25,922
That's what everyone says
when they abandon their principles.
835
00:39:25,957 --> 00:39:28,524
I'm no longer required
to live up to your standards.
836
00:39:28,559 --> 00:39:31,261
- Fair enough.
- Thank you.
837
00:39:35,098 --> 00:39:36,932
What's so special
about this debate?
838
00:39:36,967 --> 00:39:39,135
If we get what we want,
no one will ever go back.
839
00:39:39,169 --> 00:39:40,736
We'll have changed
the debates forever.
840
00:39:40,770 --> 00:39:43,572
And your concern is that if your ratings are low,
you'll lose leverage?
841
00:39:43,607 --> 00:39:45,875
- Yes.
- Is that your concern or Will's concern?
842
00:39:45,909 --> 00:39:47,810
Will's concerns
are my concerns.
843
00:39:47,844 --> 00:39:50,980
'Cause another way of looking at it is
that he lost his invisible friends
844
00:39:51,015 --> 00:39:54,283
to Nancy Grace and he's using the debate
as an excuse to dumb the show down.
845
00:39:54,318 --> 00:39:57,387
That's a pretty bold statement from
a guy who's auditioning for a job.
846
00:39:57,421 --> 00:39:59,822
He's gonna give me the job.
And it's not like I don't know why.
847
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:02,892
- Do you?
- I do because I'm not a fucking moron.
848
00:40:02,927 --> 00:40:05,328
The email that was read
by everyone in the world,
849
00:40:05,363 --> 00:40:08,565
"I cheated on Will,"
you were talking about me, right?
850
00:40:11,836 --> 00:40:14,672
- Yes.
- You were seeing Will while we were together?
851
00:40:14,706 --> 00:40:16,674
If you count drunk dialing me
at midnight and saying,
852
00:40:16,708 --> 00:40:20,012
"Just come on over and crawl into bed"
as being together, then yes.
853
00:40:20,046 --> 00:40:21,380
- I count it.
- Then yes.
854
00:40:21,414 --> 00:40:23,048
You cheated on me with Will?
855
00:40:23,082 --> 00:40:25,885
Let's be as clear as anyone
has ever been about anything.
856
00:40:25,919 --> 00:40:27,820
I cheated on Will with you.
857
00:40:27,854 --> 00:40:29,255
And I'm paying the price.
858
00:40:29,290 --> 00:40:31,358
I work 30 feet from
the life I could have had
859
00:40:31,392 --> 00:40:32,859
if I hadn't been so stupid.
860
00:40:32,893 --> 00:40:34,961
And you're looking at
the life you could have had
861
00:40:34,996 --> 00:40:37,097
if you hadn't been a douchebag.
862
00:40:40,835 --> 00:40:43,170
How's the interview
going so far?
863
00:40:43,204 --> 00:40:45,906
Is douchebag one word or two?
864
00:40:45,940 --> 00:40:48,241
Come in.
865
00:40:48,276 --> 00:40:51,645
- Sorry, I can come back.
- No, what do you need?
866
00:40:52,947 --> 00:40:57,684
Ahem, well,
there's a story I'd like to pitch.
867
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,888
Brian, this is Neal Sampat.
Neal writes Will's blog.
868
00:41:00,922 --> 00:41:03,624
- Will doesn't write Will's blog?
- Will can't find Will's blog.
869
00:41:03,658 --> 00:41:05,926
Neal wants to be a producer,
so from time to time,
870
00:41:05,961 --> 00:41:08,662
he pitches stories.
What do you got?
871
00:41:08,697 --> 00:41:10,298
You know what a troll is,
right?
872
00:41:10,332 --> 00:41:12,533
A tiny creature that stands
under a footbridge
873
00:41:12,568 --> 00:41:15,136
and makes you answer a riddle
before you're allowed to pass.
874
00:41:15,171 --> 00:41:17,205
- They're not real, man.
- I know that.
875
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:18,573
He means
the other kind of troll.
876
00:41:18,608 --> 00:41:20,909
You don't know the first clue
what he means.
877
00:41:20,944 --> 00:41:22,578
I mean the other kind of troll.
878
00:41:22,612 --> 00:41:24,513
A little backup
would have killed you?
879
00:41:24,581 --> 00:41:26,716
Sorry, Internet trolls.
It's a play on a fishing term.
880
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:28,017
People who go to message boards
881
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:29,819
and try to hijack the conversation
by being incendiary.
882
00:41:29,853 --> 00:41:32,155
- What about them?
- Turns out they have their own websites.
883
00:41:32,189 --> 00:41:34,657
Like an online clubhouse.
And to be accepted into the group,
884
00:41:34,692 --> 00:41:36,893
you have to be able to point to
a successful incident of trolling,
885
00:41:36,928 --> 00:41:40,097
a recent time when you made
a whole bunch of posters lose their minds.
886
00:41:40,131 --> 00:41:42,732
Or better yet, got the site monitor
to shut down the board.
887
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:45,635
Actually, I like it.
And it's not about Bigfoot.
888
00:41:45,669 --> 00:41:48,104
Write this down, News Night is gonna
break the story on Bigfoot.
889
00:41:48,138 --> 00:41:51,274
We're not. Don't write that down.
Will they talk to you?
890
00:41:51,308 --> 00:41:54,310
They won't talk to a reporter,
but I thought maybe I'd try to get in there.
891
00:41:54,344 --> 00:41:58,114
Undercover?
Aren't you gonna have to say you trolled something?
892
00:41:58,148 --> 00:42:00,482
I'm not gonna have to say it,
I'm gonna actually have to do it.
893
00:42:00,517 --> 00:42:02,151
To who?
894
00:42:02,185 --> 00:42:05,454
Well, I don't want to ding on
an innocent person for a story,
895
00:42:05,489 --> 00:42:07,056
so I'm gonna have to do it
to one of us.
896
00:42:07,090 --> 00:42:08,190
You can't be anonymous
on our website.
897
00:42:08,225 --> 00:42:09,325
No, I mean do it to us
on another website.
898
00:42:09,359 --> 00:42:11,861
- What would it be?
- I don't know yet.
899
00:42:11,896 --> 00:42:14,898
Come back when you know,
but you've made it past the first hurdle.
900
00:42:14,932 --> 00:42:17,234
Thank you.
901
00:42:20,138 --> 00:42:22,071
- Sloan.
- How's her mood in there?
902
00:42:22,106 --> 00:42:24,174
It's not good,
but let me ask you something.
903
00:42:24,208 --> 00:42:26,710
For the sake of a story,
904
00:42:26,744 --> 00:42:30,814
how would you feel about me going
on the Internet and saying vicious things
905
00:42:30,848 --> 00:42:33,049
about you that might get
an argument started about misogyny?
906
00:42:33,083 --> 00:42:35,684
- What kind of vicious things?
- I don't know.
907
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,887
- What would the general area be?
- I really don't know.
908
00:42:37,921 --> 00:42:40,957
- Something about the way you look?
- Like what?
909
00:42:40,991 --> 00:42:43,359
- I'd be making it up.
- What would you be making up?
910
00:42:43,393 --> 00:42:46,729
It wouldn't be true.
It'd be something like--
911
00:42:46,763 --> 00:42:49,632
Something along the lines of
she screwed her way to the top
912
00:42:49,666 --> 00:42:52,468
and she's got a big ass.
Only it would have to be--
913
00:42:52,502 --> 00:42:55,137
Listen to me, Sampat.
914
00:42:55,172 --> 00:42:57,873
- Do I?
- Of course not.
915
00:43:00,043 --> 00:43:02,878
Okay.
916
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:04,647
- I can do it?
- You cannot.
917
00:43:04,681 --> 00:43:06,782
If you want, you can say that
I made it to the final round
918
00:43:06,817 --> 00:43:08,818
of the K through six regionals in
the Scripps Howard Spelling Bee.
919
00:43:08,852 --> 00:43:11,754
That's not gonna help me.
920
00:43:11,788 --> 00:43:15,057
You know,
a lot of guys like women with big--
921
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:17,727
Do they really?
922
00:43:17,761 --> 00:43:19,329
Never mind.
923
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:21,664
I don't know what you're talking about
and I have my own problems.
924
00:43:28,173 --> 00:43:29,706
- Jim.
- Yeah?
925
00:43:29,741 --> 00:43:31,575
I got a woman on the phone
who says she's got some tweets
926
00:43:31,610 --> 00:43:33,077
from Anthony Weiner
and wants to talk to us.
927
00:43:33,111 --> 00:43:35,880
- What are you telling me for?
- Seniority?
928
00:43:35,914 --> 00:43:39,183
Well, I'm handing her off to
the next most senior person.
929
00:43:39,217 --> 00:43:40,584
Kendra, take the Weiner girl.
930
00:43:40,619 --> 00:43:42,686
- Gary, take the Weiner girl.
- Tess.
931
00:43:42,721 --> 00:43:46,123
- Tamara.
- We were hired as interns the same day.
932
00:43:46,158 --> 00:43:48,993
I was hired in the morning.
You were hired after lunch. Take the Weiner girl.
933
00:43:49,027 --> 00:43:52,597
- Please, don't make me take the Weiner girl.
- Respect the seniority.
934
00:43:52,631 --> 00:43:54,665
Who do I have seniority over?
935
00:43:56,368 --> 00:43:57,835
Maggie.
936
00:43:59,905 --> 00:44:02,373
- Can people still see me?
- On five.
937
00:44:07,980 --> 00:44:09,714
Hi, this is Margaret Jordan.
938
00:44:09,748 --> 00:44:11,883
I'm an associate producer
at News Night.
939
00:44:11,917 --> 00:44:14,685
Okay, can you spell that for me?
940
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,321
Okay, wait.
941
00:44:17,355 --> 00:44:18,622
Hang on.
942
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:21,292
I-- No, you're gonna
get a chance.
943
00:44:22,861 --> 00:44:27,197
Uh, well, you certainly seem to
want to share your story.
944
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,567
You really can't just
drop in on a doctor.
945
00:44:30,602 --> 00:44:33,037
- What if it's an emergency?
- You go to the emergency room.
946
00:44:33,071 --> 00:44:34,872
They don't have
psychiatric emergency rooms.
947
00:44:34,907 --> 00:44:37,242
They should.
You're a good reason why.
948
00:44:37,276 --> 00:44:40,177
- You want a piece of me?
- Seriously?
949
00:44:40,212 --> 00:44:42,346
- No.
- Yeah.
950
00:44:46,585 --> 00:44:48,118
Does he look over
at the red light?
951
00:44:48,153 --> 00:44:49,420
Does he look every few minutes?
952
00:44:49,454 --> 00:44:50,588
If I was your therapist,
953
00:44:50,622 --> 00:44:52,556
I'd definitely look every few minutes.
954
00:44:53,892 --> 00:44:55,058
Hey, hey, you can't do that.
955
00:44:55,093 --> 00:44:57,394
It's okay.
He likes me.
956
00:44:57,428 --> 00:44:59,763
- Will.
- I'm sorry.
957
00:44:59,797 --> 00:45:01,531
- I'm with a patient.
- I really just need a second.
958
00:45:01,565 --> 00:45:04,434
I'm glad to see you back here,
but you need to come during your appointment.
959
00:45:04,468 --> 00:45:07,037
I could be dead by then.
960
00:45:07,071 --> 00:45:08,672
Are you having suicidal thoughts?
961
00:45:08,706 --> 00:45:10,340
- No.
- Then why did you say that?
962
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,609
- Just to get your attention.
- I'm going back to my patient.
963
00:45:12,643 --> 00:45:15,244
Listen to me.
I've been paying 250 a session for four years
964
00:45:15,279 --> 00:45:16,546
without showing up
to a single session.
965
00:45:16,580 --> 00:45:19,014
You owe me $100,000
worth of therapy.
966
00:45:19,049 --> 00:45:21,784
I'll forgive the debt, we'll be totally square,
just give me one minute.
967
00:45:25,221 --> 00:45:27,756
I'm sorry.
I'll be just a minute.
968
00:45:29,292 --> 00:45:31,159
Wow, you caved for the money.
I'm kind of disappointed.
969
00:45:31,193 --> 00:45:34,229
I didn't cave for the money.
You're getting the sessions you paid for.
970
00:45:34,263 --> 00:45:36,198
You seem like you're in pain.
971
00:45:36,232 --> 00:45:39,268
- He is.
- He said in pain, not a pain.
972
00:45:39,302 --> 00:45:40,903
Oh, never mind, then.
973
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:42,638
What is it?
974
00:45:42,673 --> 00:45:45,709
I'm doing all these things
that are wrong because of ratings,
975
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:48,612
and I'm making the staff do things
that they don't want to do,
976
00:45:48,647 --> 00:45:52,183
I'm cursing them out,
I'm ignoring incredibly important news stories,
977
00:45:52,217 --> 00:45:54,185
and I'm betraying the trust
of people who respect me.
978
00:45:54,220 --> 00:45:56,254
And I did it all
in the blink of an eye.
979
00:45:56,289 --> 00:45:58,690
- That can be traumatic.
- No, I'm fine with all of that.
980
00:45:58,724 --> 00:46:01,093
Here's my thing:
New York Magazine
981
00:46:01,127 --> 00:46:03,428
is gonna do a story on my show
and I get to choose the writer.
982
00:46:03,463 --> 00:46:07,065
And I could have chosen anybody and
I chose Mackenzie's ex-boyfriend.
983
00:46:07,099 --> 00:46:08,833
Of course.
984
00:46:08,868 --> 00:46:11,769
- The one she cheated on you with?
- Yeah.
985
00:46:11,803 --> 00:46:14,572
- Why?
- That's what I came here to ask you.
986
00:46:14,607 --> 00:46:16,274
You're holding your hand
over the candle.
987
00:46:16,308 --> 00:46:17,541
What do you mean?
988
00:46:17,576 --> 00:46:19,310
You're holding your hand
over the candle
989
00:46:19,344 --> 00:46:21,445
because you think
the trick is not minding.
990
00:46:21,479 --> 00:46:24,147
Ah.
991
00:46:24,182 --> 00:46:27,617
So if I just get through this,
I'll be fine.
992
00:46:27,652 --> 00:46:29,787
- No.
- Why?
993
00:46:29,821 --> 00:46:31,922
Because the trick isn't not minding.
994
00:46:31,957 --> 00:46:34,691
The trick is forgiving Mackenzie.
995
00:46:34,726 --> 00:46:36,927
It would be easier to
hold my hand over the candle.
996
00:46:36,961 --> 00:46:38,862
I know.
997
00:46:38,896 --> 00:46:42,566
Well, you've been no help at all, but thanks.
Sorry to barge in.
998
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,902
You know, while you're
working your way through this,
999
00:46:44,936 --> 00:46:46,504
you're hurting Mackenzie.
1000
00:46:46,538 --> 00:46:48,973
I know that.
1001
00:46:50,108 --> 00:46:52,809
Show up for your appointment.
1002
00:46:56,982 --> 00:46:58,950
I'm not doing it on purpose.
1003
00:47:02,921 --> 00:47:04,688
Maggie.
1004
00:47:05,724 --> 00:47:08,059
Yeah.
1005
00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:12,864
- Sandy?
- Yes.
1006
00:47:12,898 --> 00:47:15,132
- Margaret Jordan. We talked on the phone.
- Nice to meet you.
1007
00:47:15,167 --> 00:47:16,801
- You got here okay?
- Yes.
1008
00:47:16,835 --> 00:47:18,869
I have a receipt for the cab.
Who do I give that to?
1009
00:47:18,904 --> 00:47:20,738
I'll take it.
1010
00:47:22,107 --> 00:47:25,242
So, you got some tweets
from Congressman Weiner.
1011
00:47:25,277 --> 00:47:27,645
And I've got copies
of them right here.
1012
00:47:31,117 --> 00:47:33,285
"'I like the cute new pics of you.
1013
00:47:33,319 --> 00:47:35,153
Where'd you get those abs?"
1014
00:47:35,188 --> 00:47:38,223
Weiner: "Glad you like them.
When do I get to see your swimsuit shot?"
1015
00:47:38,258 --> 00:47:40,993
Sandy: "When are you
coming to see me?
1016
00:47:41,027 --> 00:47:43,428
Or just coming?"
Weiner: "Make me an offer."
1017
00:47:43,463 --> 00:47:45,797
Sandy: "My door's always open.
Get it?"
1018
00:47:45,831 --> 00:47:48,033
Weiner: "What's your plan for us?"
1019
00:47:48,067 --> 00:47:51,703
Sandy: "To get us in the mood,
we watch The Daily Show and Colbert.
1020
00:47:51,737 --> 00:47:53,605
Then when we're really hot,
we go to the bookstore
1021
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:55,473
and replace all the copies
of Glenn Beck books
1022
00:47:55,508 --> 00:47:58,176
with The Audacity of Hope.
Or, if that's not your thing,
1023
00:47:58,210 --> 00:48:00,512
we can just get drunk and fuck."
1024
00:48:06,952 --> 00:48:08,453
Why are you doing this?
1025
00:48:08,487 --> 00:48:10,388
Because the world needs to know
what kind of guy he is.
1026
00:48:10,423 --> 00:48:14,192
It sort of seems like you were
a willing participant.
1027
00:48:14,260 --> 00:48:15,727
I didn't know about
the other women.
1028
00:48:15,762 --> 00:48:17,529
- Did you know he was married?
- Of course.
1029
00:48:17,563 --> 00:48:20,098
I just didn't know
about the other women.
1030
00:48:20,132 --> 00:48:24,169
I was fooled and I think the world
needs to know what kind of guy he is.
1031
00:48:24,203 --> 00:48:27,638
By any chance, have you heard
of a guy named Dylan Kagin?
1032
00:48:27,673 --> 00:48:29,940
He's gonna be my agent.
1033
00:48:29,975 --> 00:48:32,776
Sandy--
Can I call you Sandy?
1034
00:48:32,810 --> 00:48:34,377
Sure.
1035
00:48:34,411 --> 00:48:37,881
Sandy, the congressman
is in a lot of trouble.
1036
00:48:37,915 --> 00:48:39,883
He got himself into it
1037
00:48:39,918 --> 00:48:42,686
and he's probably not gonna
be able to get out of it.
1038
00:48:43,988 --> 00:48:47,258
Are you sure
you want to pile on?
1039
00:48:47,292 --> 00:48:50,394
I think people need to know
what kind of person he is.
1040
00:48:50,428 --> 00:48:52,363
All right.
1041
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:56,434
Would you like to be
on our show tonight?
1042
00:48:56,468 --> 00:48:59,838
That's the thing.
I'm doing Access Hollywood, ET, and Fox.
1043
00:48:59,872 --> 00:49:02,140
The big three.
No problem.
1044
00:49:02,174 --> 00:49:05,310
We can do a pretape
in a few minutes.
1045
00:49:05,345 --> 00:49:07,278
Oh, you're a lifesaver.
I was hoping you'd say that.
1046
00:49:07,313 --> 00:49:09,247
No kidding?
Stay here
1047
00:49:09,281 --> 00:49:12,950
and I'll talk to my EP
and we'll get this going.
1048
00:49:12,985 --> 00:49:14,285
Could I possibly get
a decaf latte?
1049
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,120
You cannot possibly get that,
1050
00:49:16,155 --> 00:49:18,690
but I'll have someone
bring you a coffee.
1051
00:49:24,831 --> 00:49:27,566
Well, I left it for you
on the left side of the desk.
1052
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,236
And, yes, I signed it.
1053
00:49:30,270 --> 00:49:31,737
I don't know anything about it.
1054
00:49:31,772 --> 00:49:34,240
Leona!
1055
00:49:34,274 --> 00:49:35,641
A word?
1056
00:49:35,675 --> 00:49:37,843
Okay, ask her to show it to me
on the plane.
1057
00:49:39,612 --> 00:49:41,980
Let's not stand in the street.
1058
00:49:42,015 --> 00:49:44,049
Charlie, with that bow tie,
1059
00:49:44,084 --> 00:49:45,684
you look like
a balloon salesman.
1060
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:47,553
No, I get in the car
and get out a minute later,
1061
00:49:47,587 --> 00:49:51,723
it looks like we're talking about
a problem or making a drug deal.
1062
00:49:51,758 --> 00:49:53,125
Just a minute.
1063
00:49:53,159 --> 00:49:56,195
We're gonna stand here,
smile and nod,
1064
00:49:56,229 --> 00:49:59,364
and do this and laugh.
1065
00:50:00,766 --> 00:50:03,935
We know where the tabloid stories
are coming from.
1066
00:50:03,969 --> 00:50:06,304
They're coming from reality.
1067
00:50:06,338 --> 00:50:09,006
Only if you define reality as fantasy.
1068
00:50:09,041 --> 00:50:11,408
And they're appearing in
a magazine you own.
1069
00:50:11,443 --> 00:50:13,810
How would it look if I had
one of our news magazines
1070
00:50:13,845 --> 00:50:15,645
go soft on our flagship anchor?
1071
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,648
We're calling TMI
a news magazine?
1072
00:50:17,682 --> 00:50:20,751
People need to know
if Taylor Swift is happy.
1073
00:50:20,785 --> 00:50:24,355
- I provide a public service for hundreds of thousands--
- The public's grateful.
1074
00:50:24,389 --> 00:50:27,225
What did I tell you
the day after election night?
1075
00:50:27,259 --> 00:50:31,529
Friend to friend,
I'd stop coming after Will in the tabloids.
1076
00:50:31,563 --> 00:50:35,199
I told you to get him to lighten up
on the Tea Party
1077
00:50:35,234 --> 00:50:37,568
or a context would be created
1078
00:50:37,603 --> 00:50:39,838
whereby his firing
would look reasonable.
1079
00:50:39,872 --> 00:50:42,607
- You need to hear me.
- I don't think I do.
1080
00:50:42,641 --> 00:50:45,109
The 112th Congress
wasn't even seated
1081
00:50:45,143 --> 00:50:48,379
and he took the Tea Party out for a walk
on the 9/11 Responders Bill.
1082
00:50:48,414 --> 00:50:51,182
Congress,
Democrats and Republicans,
1083
00:50:51,217 --> 00:50:55,086
spent eight years
using 9/11 as a justification
1084
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,588
for everything from tax cuts
to a foreign invasion.
1085
00:50:57,623 --> 00:51:00,825
So Will questioned
their change of heart
1086
00:51:00,860 --> 00:51:03,428
when it came to
the police and firemen's unions.
1087
00:51:03,462 --> 00:51:05,630
You made them
look like hypocrites.
1088
00:51:05,664 --> 00:51:07,365
By rolling tape.
1089
00:51:07,399 --> 00:51:09,867
House Financial Services,
insider trading,
1090
00:51:09,902 --> 00:51:12,837
Keystone XL, Joe Walsh,
Allen West,
1091
00:51:12,872 --> 00:51:15,407
Paul Ryan,
and who am I forgetting?
1092
00:51:15,441 --> 00:51:19,277
Oh, yes.
Charles and David Koch.
1093
00:51:19,312 --> 00:51:20,679
Keep smiling.
1094
00:51:20,713 --> 00:51:23,615
We lost a couple of
awfully helpful tax loopholes
1095
00:51:23,649 --> 00:51:26,017
that were tailored
to assets overseas.
1096
00:51:26,051 --> 00:51:29,020
And the FCC won't even let us bid
on the coming spectrum auction
1097
00:51:29,054 --> 00:51:31,288
because they want
a full report on whether or not
1098
00:51:31,323 --> 00:51:34,491
we're skirting antitrust.
1099
00:51:34,526 --> 00:51:36,994
So what was your request again?
1100
00:51:37,028 --> 00:51:39,630
You don't want to do this.
1101
00:51:39,664 --> 00:51:41,598
I don't.
1102
00:51:41,633 --> 00:51:43,667
I really don't.
1103
00:51:43,701 --> 00:51:45,736
But I have to and I will.
1104
00:51:45,770 --> 00:51:49,106
And friend to friend,
1105
00:51:49,141 --> 00:51:52,209
you let him know that
he is one tabloid fuckup
1106
00:51:52,243 --> 00:51:55,512
and a ratings point away
from having his own podcast.
1107
00:51:56,748 --> 00:51:59,116
I have to make my plane.
1108
00:52:04,422 --> 00:52:06,824
Fly safe.
1109
00:52:20,972 --> 00:52:23,874
- Unless there's a rally--
- I'm sorry, I've got to--
1110
00:52:23,909 --> 00:52:25,543
- Listen.
- Sloan.
1111
00:52:25,577 --> 00:52:27,145
Unless there's a rally
in the next 90 minutes,
1112
00:52:27,179 --> 00:52:29,547
the Dow's gonna close
down about 2.5%,
1113
00:52:29,582 --> 00:52:31,850
S&P and NASDAQ will
close down 2.3.
1114
00:52:31,884 --> 00:52:33,952
- Let me tell you why.
- I don't own a lot of stock.
1115
00:52:33,987 --> 00:52:35,187
- Let me tell you why.
- I really can't--
1116
00:52:35,221 --> 00:52:36,588
Stop avoiding this!
1117
00:52:36,623 --> 00:52:38,590
I just got off the phone
with these guys.
1118
00:52:38,625 --> 00:52:40,926
Listen to these quotes.
These aren't from liberals.
1119
00:52:40,961 --> 00:52:43,996
These are hard-core Wall Street guys who,
whatever the world may think of them,
1120
00:52:44,030 --> 00:52:45,864
know what they're talking about
and so do I.
1121
00:52:45,899 --> 00:52:48,401
Jamie Dimon at Chase says,
1122
00:52:48,435 --> 00:52:51,436
"Voting against raising the debt ceiling
would be a moral disaster."
1123
00:52:51,471 --> 00:52:55,174
The Barclays guys say,
"This debate is detached from reality."
1124
00:52:55,208 --> 00:52:59,145
My Goldman source says,
"If the House Republicans continue this debate,
1125
00:52:59,179 --> 00:53:01,013
I hope they're willing
to mark the end
1126
00:53:01,047 --> 00:53:04,183
of the dollar as a global
reserve currency."
1127
00:53:04,217 --> 00:53:08,588
Please notice that he didn't say if the House
Republicans don't raise the debt ceiling.
1128
00:53:08,622 --> 00:53:12,592
He said if the House Republicans
continue this debate.
1129
00:53:14,362 --> 00:53:17,096
That's all it takes.
Just the uncertainty.
1130
00:53:17,131 --> 00:53:21,134
That's why the Dow's gonna close
down 230 points today.
1131
00:53:21,168 --> 00:53:24,137
Because just the debate,
just the doubt,
1132
00:53:24,171 --> 00:53:26,839
just the possibility that
the House Majority might commit
1133
00:53:26,874 --> 00:53:29,208
the most self-inflicted damage
to the country
1134
00:53:29,243 --> 00:53:31,611
since the secession
of the South
1135
00:53:31,645 --> 00:53:33,546
has caused billions
in value to disappear.
1136
00:53:33,581 --> 00:53:36,116
Sloan, I understand.
I swear to God I do.
1137
00:53:36,150 --> 00:53:37,884
But you can't say
the same thing in the C block?
1138
00:53:37,919 --> 00:53:39,953
Don't pretend you don't know that most people
watch 10 minutes of news.
1139
00:53:39,988 --> 00:53:41,755
- The first 10 minutes.
- The vote isn't until tomorrow night.
1140
00:53:41,789 --> 00:53:43,990
And it's only the first vote.
You said yourself it was cosmetic.
1141
00:53:44,025 --> 00:53:45,192
Why do we have
to feature it tonight?
1142
00:53:45,226 --> 00:53:46,460
We should have been
featuring it weeks ago.
1143
00:53:46,494 --> 00:53:48,762
Why do we have to
feature it tonight?
1144
00:53:48,796 --> 00:53:50,931
To give time for the people
to call their congressmen
1145
00:53:50,965 --> 00:53:52,999
and say,
"If you fuck with the full faith
1146
00:53:53,033 --> 00:53:55,101
and credit of the US Treasury,
you're fired."
1147
00:53:55,135 --> 00:53:58,505
To give time for the people to jam
the phone lines of the district offices.
1148
00:53:58,539 --> 00:54:00,941
To give the people time to say,
1149
00:54:00,975 --> 00:54:03,043
"I'm a fiscal conservative
1150
00:54:03,078 --> 00:54:06,548
and you've got to put the pin
back in the grenade right now."
1151
00:54:06,582 --> 00:54:09,117
That's why.
1152
00:54:11,787 --> 00:54:14,089
I'm gonna do everything I can.
1153
00:54:14,123 --> 00:54:16,424
Please do.
1154
00:54:22,030 --> 00:54:23,764
Don't worry about it.
1155
00:54:23,798 --> 00:54:26,000
She's just frustrated because
she can't get the word out
1156
00:54:26,034 --> 00:54:28,669
that this is a global emergency
unless you let her.
1157
00:54:30,538 --> 00:54:33,407
Appreciate your
clearing that up.
1158
00:54:33,441 --> 00:54:36,343
You know what, Mackenzie?
1159
00:54:36,377 --> 00:54:39,179
I'm not the one
who put me here.
1160
00:54:39,213 --> 00:54:42,248
Say what you want about me,
but I wouldn't have done that.
1161
00:54:55,363 --> 00:54:56,863
Does Will have the questions?
1162
00:54:56,898 --> 00:54:58,999
Tess is giving him
some cards now.
1163
00:55:02,003 --> 00:55:04,837
- Is that lighting okay for you?
- Yeah.
1164
00:55:04,872 --> 00:55:07,006
- How are we Chyroning her?
- I was gonna ask you.
1165
00:55:07,041 --> 00:55:10,310
Figure it out later.
1166
00:55:14,482 --> 00:55:16,516
- Sandy.
- Yes?
1167
00:55:16,550 --> 00:55:19,486
My name's Mackenzie.
I'm the executive--
1168
00:55:21,356 --> 00:55:23,457
I'm the executive producer
of News Night.
1169
00:55:23,492 --> 00:55:25,326
- Can you hear me okay?
- Yes.
1170
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,262
Okay.
Thanks for being patient with us.
1171
00:55:28,297 --> 00:55:31,166
Will's just throwing on
a jacket and tie
1172
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,101
and we'll be able to do this.
1173
00:55:33,135 --> 00:55:36,204
- Real easy.
- You got it.
1174
00:55:46,649 --> 00:55:48,984
Hi, I'm a big fan.
1175
00:55:49,018 --> 00:55:51,453
- Hmm?
- I'm Sandy.
1176
00:55:51,488 --> 00:55:53,455
How do you do?
1177
00:55:53,490 --> 00:55:56,258
- Are we ready for the pre-tape?
- Yeah.
1178
00:55:56,293 --> 00:55:57,994
- Just count me down.
- Will.
1179
00:55:58,028 --> 00:56:00,329
Yes, I'm sure
I want to do this.
1180
00:56:00,364 --> 00:56:04,133
God, please give me a sign
I'm not doing a big thing badly.
1181
00:56:07,044 --> 00:56:11,024

1182
00:56:11,041 --> 00:56:12,208
We just lost power.
1183
00:56:12,242 --> 00:56:14,677
The whole building just lost power.
1184
00:56:14,712 --> 00:56:17,480
I didn't know He had that kind of comic timing.
