00:00:26,266 --> 00:00:29,216
Thank you very much.

00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:34,000
In every period of
our nation's history,
4
00:00:34,330 --> 00:00:37,160
there's been a cry
from the people,
5
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:40,330
and there's been a movement
from God to raise up
6
00:00:40,660 --> 00:00:46,180
amongst the people someone who
would be a voice, conscience,
7
00:00:46,216 --> 00:00:51,326
a heart, and we welcome
the conscience of America
8
00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:55,250
to the city of Atlanta for the
Democratic National Convention.
9
00:00:55,283 --> 00:00:56,353
We welcome the--
10
00:00:56,383 --> 00:00:59,133
Mr. Starbuck.
11
00:00:59,166 --> 00:01:00,656
TJ.
12
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:01,830
It's a long bus ride.
13
00:01:01,116 --> 00:01:02,426
I hope you remembered
your Dramamine.
14
00:01:02,466 --> 00:01:06,326
I remember you in '84 and the
little situation in a taxi.
15
00:01:06,660 --> 00:01:07,160
Hey, ssh.
16
00:01:09,233 --> 00:01:10,103
All right.
17
00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:11,003
I got a message.
18
00:01:11,330 --> 00:01:12,250
What's up?
19
00:01:12,283 --> 00:01:13,253
OK.
20
00:01:13,283 --> 00:01:14,433
Jesse's changed his mind.
21
00:01:14,466 --> 00:01:18,446
He's ready to
fight on the floor.
22
00:01:18,483 --> 00:01:19,453
What's the matter?
23
00:01:19,483 --> 00:01:22,433
Didn't Mr. Dukakis
make nice enough?
24
00:01:22,466 --> 00:01:25,156
There's no meaningful
role for Jesse now.
25
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:26,350
That's real clear.
26
00:01:26,383 --> 00:01:29,153
So we're ready to come in
on your delegate challenge,
27
00:01:29,183 --> 00:01:31,383
that is, if you can pull it off.
28
00:01:31,416 --> 00:01:34,156
Now, we're not into
empty gestures so,
29
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,100
uh, if we get half way
through the roll call,
30
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:38,203
and you haven't pulled
any swing votes,
31
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:40,503
then we've never heard of you.
32
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:42,380
Ah, come on.
33
00:01:42,416 --> 00:01:44,156
What are you telling me?
34
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:47,480
You mean that we twist all
the arms, and if we fail,
35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,370
Jack takes the fall?
36
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,160
[inaudible], we're not
into empty gestures either.
37
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,430
Jesse's got a
future with Dukakis.
38
00:01:55,466 --> 00:01:57,496
Jack doesn't.
39
00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:59,160
Jesse Jackson.
40
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,480
[crowd chants]
41
00:02:13,150 --> 00:02:22,370
JESSE JACKSON: I do not seek a
job, a title, nor a position.
42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,300
I seek partnership.
43
00:02:24,333 --> 00:02:26,833
CROWD: Yeah.
44
00:02:26,116 --> 00:02:28,296
I seek equity.
45
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:29,423
CROWD: Yeah.
46
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:33,330
I seek shared responsibility.
47
00:02:33,660 --> 00:02:35,230

48
00:02:35,266 --> 00:02:36,196
[whispering]
49
00:02:36,233 --> 00:02:39,373
JESSE JACKSON: Make
America better.
50
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,280
We kept America strong.
51
00:02:43,316 --> 00:02:48,146
We've expanded the
Democratic Party.
52
00:02:48,183 --> 00:02:55,133
I registered more Democrats than
any Democrat who ever lived.
53
00:02:55,166 --> 00:02:57,376
[cheers]
54
00:02:57,416 --> 00:03:00,396
Look at it this way--
if you don't do it,
55
00:03:00,433 --> 00:03:01,483
then you've got nothing.
56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,830
If you do, then we've
got an open convention,
57
00:03:05,116 --> 00:03:06,446
and you're guy stands
as good a chance
58
00:03:06,483 --> 00:03:08,233
to take the nomination as ours.
59
00:03:12,316 --> 00:03:16,416
Look, nobody likes a
superdelegate situation.
60
00:03:16,450 --> 00:03:18,420
So I'll run it by him.
61
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:23,330
It stinks, but
I'll run it by him.
62
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:25,230
Ladies and gentlemen--
63
00:03:25,266 --> 00:03:29,376
[gavel down]

--the 40th quadrennial
National Convention

of the Democratic
Party of the United
66
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:41,300
States will come to order.
67
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:44,283
[cheers]
68
00:03:51,660 --> 00:03:53,170
On the subject
of superdelegates,
69
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,120
you want the challenge.
70
00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:58,370
Yes, we're challenging the
superdelegates on principle.
71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,120
You know, millions of Americans
voted in these primaries,
72
00:04:02,150 --> 00:04:04,120
and they're not
really being properly
73
00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:05,220
represented at this campaign.
74
00:04:05,250 --> 00:04:08,150
We feel that this
superdelegation
75
00:04:08,183 --> 00:04:10,153
puts much too much--
76
00:04:10,183 --> 00:04:11,433
Look, Cronkite
wouldn't give us a time.
77
00:04:11,466 --> 00:04:12,466
He's holding us anyway.
78
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
But I got [inaudible] lined up.
79
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:16,130
We should do that.
80
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:18,126
[inaudible] right now.
81
00:04:18,166 --> 00:04:20,146
Don't you think
that at this late date
82
00:04:20,183 --> 00:04:23,303
a superdelegate challenge would
be considered sour grapes?
83
00:04:23,333 --> 00:04:24,373
Lynn--

00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,280

00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:29,226
I ran into her at a
cocktail party last night.
87
00:04:29,266 --> 00:04:31,166
He was hitting on her
and realized who she was,
88
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,130
so he tried hitting
on [inaudible].
89
00:04:34,166 --> 00:04:36,496
Look, I admit it
isn't going to be mine.
90
00:04:36,830 --> 00:04:39,130
If all you could achieve
were what you wanted as far
91
00:04:39,166 --> 00:04:41,246
as the superdelegate
selection is concerned,
92
00:04:41,283 --> 00:04:43,133
would you leave here happy?
93
00:04:43,166 --> 00:04:46,326
Uh, moderately happy.
94
00:04:46,366 --> 00:04:53,156

TJ.
96
00:04:55,330 --> 00:04:57,220
TJ, is the Rules Committee going
to let it come to the floor?
97
00:04:57,250 --> 00:04:58,420
Ask them.
98
00:04:58,450 --> 00:04:59,320
TJ.
99
00:04:59,350 --> 00:05:00,450
Is there going to be a vote?
100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,160
Look, I have no time, so
I have no comment, Frank.
101
00:05:03,500 --> 00:05:04,150
OK.
What about the--
102
00:05:04,183 --> 00:05:05,153
Come on, TJ.
103
00:05:05,183 --> 00:05:06,233
You've got to give
me something here.
104
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:08,246
Molly, I am late
for a meeting.
105
00:05:08,283 --> 00:05:11,503
Well, I need this.
106
00:05:11,830 --> 00:05:12,250
OK, Molly.
107
00:05:12,283 --> 00:05:16,273
Look, I might talk to you at the
booth later on this afternoon.
108
00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:18,320
I might, Molly.
109
00:05:18,350 --> 00:05:21,330
I can't promise you anything.
110
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:22,830
Talk to you later.
Maybe.
111
00:05:22,116 --> 00:05:22,476
Maybe.
112
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,270
Thanks, TJ, for your time.
113
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:25,430
OK.
114
00:05:25,466 --> 00:05:27,176
Good morning,
ladies and gentlemen.
115
00:05:27,216 --> 00:05:28,396
If you'd be good enough
to take your seats,
116
00:05:28,433 --> 00:05:30,003
I'll start bringing
you up to speed.
117
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,830
Now, what we're
trying to do here
118
00:05:31,116 --> 00:05:32,416
tonight is to challenge
the apportioning
119
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:34,120
of the superdelegates.
120
00:05:34,150 --> 00:05:36,300
As you know, they do
not fairly reflect
121
00:05:36,333 --> 00:05:38,383
the primary results,
an inequity we're
122
00:05:38,416 --> 00:05:43,126
trying to redress on the floor.
123
00:05:43,166 --> 00:05:46,326
Now, if we can
get the Convention
124
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:49,230
to support a redistribution
of the superdelegates Dukakis,
125
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:51,226
we'll lose his
majority, and this
126
00:05:51,266 --> 00:05:53,296
will become an open convention.
127
00:05:53,333 --> 00:05:56,133
And Jack Tanner can
win an open convention.
128
00:05:56,166 --> 00:05:58,466
You know it and I know
it, but there are--
129
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,380
[cheers]
130
00:06:01,416 --> 00:06:03,466
--a lot of swing delegates

MAN: --the portioning

open this convention up.
138
00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:16,150
Now--
139
00:06:16,183 --> 00:06:17,423
Now, the Rules Committee
has just turned us down,
140
00:06:17,450 --> 00:06:19,170
but all we need
are 47 signatures,
141
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,270
25% of the Committee,
in order to petition
142
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,130
for a Minority Report.
143
00:06:23,166 --> 00:06:25,496
Now, you've got to
stay in constant touch
144
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:28,500
with your Cluster Leader,
and you must poll and re-poll
145
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:29,400
as he or she indicates.
146
00:06:29,433 --> 00:06:32,253
Now, Miss Panelli is
handing out the numbers
147
00:06:32,283 --> 00:06:34,123
to the control
trailer so you will
148
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:37,400
have direct access to your Area
Tracker should a crisis arise.
149
00:06:37,433 --> 00:06:41,383
The Chief Coordinator
here is Billy Ridenour.
150
00:06:41,416 --> 00:06:43,146
He's at the top of the pyramid.
151
00:06:43,183 --> 00:06:44,283
Don't try to get a hold of me.
152
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:45,176
It's his show.
153
00:06:45,216 --> 00:06:46,166
Any questions?
154
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,660
OK.
155
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:47,470
Good.
156
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,220
Now-- oh, one more thing.
157
00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:52,000
A lot of you have
written this off
158
00:06:52,330 --> 00:06:55,660
as some kind of futile gesture.
159
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:56,180
It's not.
160
00:06:56,216 --> 00:06:57,996
It's for real.
161
00:06:58,330 --> 00:07:00,830

00:07:39,266 --> 00:07:42,096
NEWSCASTER ON TV:
Continuing our [inaudible].
184
00:07:42,133 --> 00:07:44,173
GIRL: Ugh.
185
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Well, the petition signatures
have all been rounded up.
186
00:07:46,316 --> 00:07:47,446
Jim Wright will
get them at 5:00.
187
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,350
And if he goes for it, we
could have a vote on the floor
188
00:07:49,383 --> 00:07:51,503
by early tonight.
189
00:07:51,483 --> 00:07:53,103
Let's go down for it.
190
00:07:51,830 --> 00:07:53,130
Oh, god.
191
00:07:53,133 --> 00:07:54,203
Can we go down for it, daddy?
192
00:07:54,233 --> 00:07:55,473
Oh, sweetie, your father
can't appear in the hall
193
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,170
until his name's been
placed in nomination, OK?
194
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,170
It's just convention protocol.
195
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,300
Well, that's just dumb.
196
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:00,473
Well, it's the way it is.
197
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,430
I mean, this is the only
convention you'll probably ever
198
00:08:02,466 --> 00:08:05,156
be a part of, and you're trapped
up here like a goddamn prisoner
199
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:06,000
in your own hotel room?
200
00:08:06,330 --> 00:08:07,150
Alex, there's another reason.
201
00:08:07,183 --> 00:08:09,373
I can't appear too
anxious tonight.
202
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,150
I mean, if the Dukakis
people get a hold of it,
203
00:08:11,183 --> 00:08:12,173
we'll lose it.
204
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,420
"Ix-nay" in front
of the "ukakis-day."
205
00:08:13,450 --> 00:08:15,120
Alex, will you
please not do that.
206
00:08:15,150 --> 00:08:16,230
How long have
you been involved
207
00:08:16,266 --> 00:08:17,216
with the champagne, kiddo?
208
00:08:17,250 --> 00:08:18,270
What is this?
209
00:08:18,300 --> 00:08:20,500
The Spanish Inquisition?
210
00:08:20,830 --> 00:08:21,500
Fine.
211
00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:22,170
I'll just go
downstairs by myself.
212
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,250
No.
Come on now.
213
00:08:23,283 --> 00:08:25,233
I need you here at least
until the networks leave.
214
00:08:25,266 --> 00:08:26,296
Forget it.
Why should I?
215
00:08:26,333 --> 00:08:27,483
What do I get out
of pretending we're
216
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,280
the perfect little
post-modern family?
217
00:08:30,316 --> 00:08:33,156
Um, a car?
218
00:08:37,133 --> 00:08:39,403
What did you say?
219
00:08:39,433 --> 00:08:42,333
[laughter]
220
00:08:42,660 --> 00:08:43,160
All right.
221
00:08:43,500 --> 00:08:44,160
Now, what we've
got is his position
222
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,500
that is going to the chair.
223
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:47,430
We're going to try and bring
this thing on the floor.
224
00:08:47,466 --> 00:08:49,226
What we want to do is
challenge the apportioning
225
00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:50,296
of the superdelegates.
226
00:08:50,333 --> 00:08:51,483
We're going to try and
open this convention up.
227
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,130
Now, what we need to do
is pick up 50 swing votes
228
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:57,826
in the next couple of
hours before the Jackson
229
00:08:57,116 --> 00:08:58,316
people will play along with us.
230
00:08:58,350 --> 00:09:01,180
Now, you might this
is funny, but this far
231
00:09:01,216 --> 00:09:03,296
from a wide-open convention.
232
00:09:03,333 --> 00:09:05,153
Barney, Stringer,
233
00:09:05,183 --> 00:09:06,253
Who are you?
234
00:09:06,283 --> 00:09:08,833
At the moment, things are
getting very hot indeed.
235
00:09:08,116 --> 00:09:10,246
And Billy is getting
a little squirrely.
236
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:13,483
Andrea, make sure we've
got lots of Diet Coke.
237
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,350
Things are getting pretty
exciting around here.
238
00:09:15,383 --> 00:09:16,353
OK.
239
00:09:16,383 --> 00:09:17,273
I will find out about
that, all right?
240
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:18,330
- All right.
- Where's Billy?
241
00:09:18,366 --> 00:09:19,326
Has Billy Ridenour arrived yet?
[phone ringing]
242
00:09:19,366 --> 00:09:20,296
Is Billy here?
243
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:21,223
When's Billy
Ridenour arriving?
244
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:22,470
- 15 minutes.
- All right.
245
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,370
All right.
246
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,200
[crowd chatter]
247
00:09:25,233 --> 00:09:26,203
Hi, Susan?
Barney.
248
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:27,433
You want to talk to TJ.
TJ?
249
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:28,366
Yeah.
250
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,000
Estrich.
251
00:09:31,330 --> 00:09:31,400
Shit.
252
00:09:31,433 --> 00:09:32,303
Does she know?
253
00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:35,323
I can't tell.
254
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:36,250
Hey, Susan.
255
00:09:36,283 --> 00:09:37,153
TJ.
256
00:09:37,183 --> 00:09:39,203
What's up?
257
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:41,353
Uh-huh.
258
00:09:41,383 --> 00:09:42,333
Uh-huh.
259
00:09:42,366 --> 00:09:45,246
What's Mike offering?
260
00:09:45,283 --> 00:09:47,173
Uh-huh.
261
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,500
Well, I'll take it to him,
Susan, but what can I say?
262
00:09:50,830 --> 00:09:52,230
It looks, sounds, and
feels like a bone.
263
00:09:52,266 --> 00:09:53,166
Call Jack.
264
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,660
Jack.
265
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:56,160
Need this phone.
266
00:09:56,500 --> 00:09:57,660
Thank you.
267
00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:58,380
Are we finished
with these newspapers?
268
00:09:58,416 --> 00:10:00,126
This is really
shitty champagne.
269
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:00,426
- [inaudible]
- No, thank you.
270
00:10:00,466 --> 00:10:01,446
[phone ringing]
271
00:10:01,483 --> 00:10:03,103
This is a rotten
toma-- excuse me.
272
00:10:03,133 --> 00:10:04,003
Excuse me.
273
00:10:04,330 --> 00:10:04,480
Alex.
274
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,150
Hello.
275
00:10:06,183 --> 00:10:07,503
Hello?
276
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:08,500
Hello.
277
00:10:08,483 --> 00:10:09,353
He's right here.
278
00:10:08,830 --> 00:10:09,380
Yeah, Barney.
279
00:10:09,383 --> 00:10:12,153
Once second.
280
00:10:12,183 --> 00:10:14,833
Honey, will you-- what am I--
281
00:10:14,116 --> 00:10:15,246
Yeah, Barney.
282
00:10:15,283 --> 00:10:16,183
Good things are brewing.
283
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:17,266
TJ is talking to Susan Estrich.
284
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:18,230
Yeah.
285
00:10:18,266 --> 00:10:19,126
Hold on.
286
00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:20,196
Here she is.
287
00:10:20,233 --> 00:10:21,403
Jack.
288
00:10:21,433 --> 00:10:25,123
They're offering a major cabinet
post or a prime-time speaking
289
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:26,280
spot tomorrow night.
290
00:10:26,316 --> 00:10:27,246
I don't get it.
291
00:10:27,283 --> 00:10:28,273
You think they're
on to something?
292
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:29,250
JACK (ON PHONE): No.
293
00:10:29,283 --> 00:10:31,333
First, Wright hasn't
even cleared it.
294
00:10:31,366 --> 00:10:33,446
Second, if they knew this
early, they could block it.
295
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,200
I think they want a, uh,
picture-perfect convention.
296
00:10:37,233 --> 00:10:38,483
They don't want the
legitimacy of their support
297
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:39,420
called into question.
298
00:10:39,450 --> 00:10:40,330
Let's take a pass.
299
00:10:40,366 --> 00:10:41,216
OK.
300
00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:42,100
Call her back.
301
00:10:45,330 --> 00:10:46,250
Maybe the vote got
some hemorrhaging
302
00:10:46,283 --> 00:10:47,353
that we don't know about.
303
00:10:47,383 --> 00:10:48,253
WOMAN: TJ.
304
00:10:48,283 --> 00:10:49,333
Emile on four for you.
305
00:10:49,366 --> 00:10:52,316
Hold on, Jack.
306
00:10:52,350 --> 00:10:53,220
Yeah, Emile.
307
00:10:53,250 --> 00:10:54,150
What's up?
308
00:10:54,183 --> 00:10:56,333
TJ.
309
00:10:56,660 --> 00:10:57,450
It's getting interesting.
310
00:10:57,483 --> 00:10:59,403
Yeah, Governor
Blanchard just told me
311
00:10:59,433 --> 00:11:02,353
that-- Governor
Blanchard just told me
312
00:11:02,383 --> 00:11:05,003
that he can deliver
the entire Michigan
313
00:11:05,330 --> 00:11:08,250
delegation in a rules challenge
because Jack is a favorite son.
314
00:11:08,283 --> 00:11:09,233
Great.
315
00:11:09,266 --> 00:11:10,196
Great.
All right.
316
00:11:10,233 --> 00:11:11,103
I got it.
317
00:11:11,133 --> 00:11:12,403
Thanks, Emile.
318
00:11:12,433 --> 00:11:15,403
[crowd chatter]
319
00:11:15,433 --> 00:11:17,123
Surprise, surprise.
320
00:11:17,150 --> 00:11:18,150
Michigan saw it.
321
00:11:18,183 --> 00:11:19,373
They're going for the
challenge in toto.
322
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,200
Estrich must've gotten word.
323
00:11:21,233 --> 00:11:22,223
Then were definitely out of it.
324
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:23,270
Have somebody get to Wright.
325
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:24,450
We're fighting this
goddamn thing before it
326
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:25,473
even gets to the floor.
327
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:26,370
OK, Jack.
328
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,420
I've got you covered.
329
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:29,330
I want this line kept clear.
330
00:11:29,366 --> 00:11:31,126
OK?
Freddie?
331
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:32,096
Are we secure?
332
00:11:32,133 --> 00:11:34,183
[crowd chatter]
333
00:11:34,216 --> 00:11:35,656
Estrich.
334
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:44,366
Hi, Susan?
335
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,320
We're going to pass, OK?
336
00:11:46,350 --> 00:11:49,480
Tell Mike not to
take it personally.
337
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:50,380
All right.
338
00:11:53,416 --> 00:11:54,276
Andrea.
339
00:11:54,316 --> 00:11:56,326
Yes, Mrs. Cavanaugh.
340
00:11:56,660 --> 00:11:58,450
I want to know when
it's 6:20-- 6:20 exactly.
341
00:11:58,483 --> 00:11:59,423
Why?
342
00:11:59,450 --> 00:12:01,200
Are you taking a
pill or something?
343
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:08,826
Every delegate is
entitled to vote.
344
00:12:08,116 --> 00:12:10,426
And every delegate
is entitled to have
345
00:12:10,466 --> 00:12:14,176
his or her vote counted.
346
00:12:14,216 --> 00:12:19,326
Chairs of the
delegations will poll
347
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:23,150
their respective
delegations and cast
348
00:12:23,183 --> 00:12:28,433
the votes of those delegations
by electronic device.
349
00:12:28,466 --> 00:12:34,166
Our secretary, Dorothy Bush,
will come forward and explain,
350
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,480
since this is a new process,
exactly how to activate
351
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,270
the electronic devices.
352
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:46,250
Chairs of the delegations
will poll their delegations
353
00:12:46,283 --> 00:12:50,163
and see that the vote
accurately reflects the wishes--
354
00:12:50,500 --> 00:12:51,430
Look TJ, even if he
lets it onto the floor,
355
00:12:51,466 --> 00:12:52,996
the Chair is going
to have to rule
356
00:12:53,330 --> 00:12:54,220
on whether the
superdelegates can
357
00:12:54,250 --> 00:12:55,480
vote on their own eligibility.
- OK.
358
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,300
Check it out and see
if we've got Convention
359
00:12:57,333 --> 00:12:58,383
precedent on our side.
360
00:12:58,416 --> 00:12:59,276
Yeah, will do.
361
00:12:59,316 --> 00:13:00,326
Mrs. Cavanaugh, it's 6:20.
362
00:13:00,366 --> 00:13:01,226
Good.
363
00:13:01,266 --> 00:13:02,246
Get me Molly Hark.
364
00:13:02,283 --> 00:13:04,233
She's in the NBC booth.
365
00:13:04,266 --> 00:13:06,096
Excuse me.
366
00:13:06,133 --> 00:13:08,183
Barney, what are the
caller codes on these phones?
367
00:13:08,216 --> 00:13:12,496
The one [inaudible]
the cluster leaders.
368
00:13:12,830 --> 00:13:13,480
The red is Billy's
other phone, Amanda.
369
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,420
That sounds redundant, but we
wanted a two-tiered system.
370
00:13:15,450 --> 00:13:16,330
OK.
371
00:13:16,366 --> 00:13:17,996
Whatever Billy wants, he's got.
372
00:13:18,330 --> 00:13:19,250
[crowd chatter]
373
00:13:19,283 --> 00:13:20,473
WOMAN: Molly Hark, 3 4, Please.
374
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,660
I met you outside.
375
00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:23,330
Oh, yeah.
376
00:13:23,660 --> 00:13:25,170
It's really nice
to see you again.
377
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,200
[crowd chatter]
378
00:13:27,233 --> 00:13:29,003
I'm going to make one
little call, outta here.
379
00:13:29,330 --> 00:13:30,830
WOMAN: She's pretty
busy right now.
380
00:13:30,116 --> 00:13:31,196
[crowd chatter]
- Hi, Molly?
381
00:13:31,233 --> 00:13:32,303
TJ.
382
00:13:32,333 --> 00:13:35,173
Listen, we're about to
submit a Minority Report.
383
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,830
Chairman Wright has to
rule on whether or not
384
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:38,166
it's going to go to the floor.
385
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,330
We're hearing that
he's going to approve
386
00:13:39,366 --> 00:13:42,276
it, because he's got a little
bit of an image problem.
387
00:13:42,316 --> 00:13:45,116
He can't afford to be seen as
a backroom call on anti-reform.
388
00:13:45,150 --> 00:13:46,100
You got it?
389
00:13:46,133 --> 00:13:47,123
MOLLY HARK (ON PHONE): Yeah.
- Good.
390
00:13:47,150 --> 00:13:47,400
MOLLY HART (ON
PHONE): Thanks, TJ.
391
00:13:47,433 --> 00:13:48,373
You're welcome.
392
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Bye.
393
00:13:49,316 --> 00:13:51,246
You're hearing what from who?
394
00:13:51,283 --> 00:13:53,503
Well, you heard
it from me, and I
395
00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:54,280
don't know where I heard it.
396
00:13:54,316 --> 00:13:56,476
Well, you know, TJ, Molly's
going to check it out.
397
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,000
Well, no she's not.
398
00:13:58,330 --> 00:13:59,160
Why not?
399
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:00,350
Because "Nightly"
airs in 10 minutes.
400
00:14:00,383 --> 00:14:01,253
Yeah?
401
00:14:01,283 --> 00:14:02,383
And she wants this story.
402
00:14:02,416 --> 00:14:04,656
She needs this story.
403
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:05,170
She's going run
with it, and it's
404
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,400
going to make Wright
look like he's
405
00:14:06,433 --> 00:14:08,473
been bought out if he
now refuses to send
406
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,450
this report to the floor.
407
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:11,433
- Dick.
- What?
408
00:14:11,466 --> 00:14:12,426
Get your ass in gear.
409
00:14:12,466 --> 00:14:14,466
Get your ass in
gear, please, darling.
410
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,470
Look, I want to
do a set up now.
411
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,660
What are you
talking about, Mol?
412
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:18,470
They're already on the air.
- Look.
413
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,450
We're going to do a cut-in.
414
00:14:19,483 --> 00:14:23,423
Now hurry up and
hook this thing up.
415
00:14:23,450 --> 00:14:24,480
[inaudible]
416
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,280
That's right, Tom.
417
00:14:27,316 --> 00:14:30,426
NBC has learned-- oh,
right NBC has learned.
418
00:14:30,466 --> 00:14:33,326
Oh, don't you love it?
419
00:14:33,660 --> 00:14:36,230
NBC didn't learn
a goddamned thing.
420
00:14:36,266 --> 00:14:37,246
I learned it.
421
00:14:37,283 --> 00:14:38,373
God, that's good.
422
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,330
[crowd chatter]
423
00:14:39,366 --> 00:14:41,116
People, visiting
hours are over.
424
00:14:41,150 --> 00:14:42,280
TJ CAVANAUGH: Hey, listen.
425
00:14:42,316 --> 00:14:44,226
I thought you told me that
we're going to get some sleep.
426
00:14:44,266 --> 00:14:45,196
MAN: I did.
427
00:14:45,233 --> 00:14:47,133
Go back to the
hotel [inaudible].
428
00:14:47,166 --> 00:14:50,996
[crowd chatter]
429
00:14:51,330 --> 00:14:52,000
Oh, god.
430
00:14:52,330 --> 00:14:53,220
Andrea, get Mr. Ridenour
a cup of coffee.
431
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:54,320
Absolutely.
Cream, sugar?
432
00:14:54,350 --> 00:14:55,250
Oh, no, no.
433
00:14:55,283 --> 00:14:57,833
No coffee, no.
434
00:14:57,116 --> 00:15:00,156
[crowd chatter]
435
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,500
Communication report,
someone, anyone please.
436
00:15:02,830 --> 00:15:03,500
Everything is online.
437
00:15:03,830 --> 00:15:04,100
The phones are up.
438
00:15:04,133 --> 00:15:05,373
The radio phones are
charged and distributed.
439
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,120
We got you six backup runners
and the flags you wanted.
440
00:15:09,150 --> 00:15:10,300
What flags?
441
00:15:10,333 --> 00:15:13,133
If all systems go down, and
there's gridlock on the floor,
442
00:15:13,166 --> 00:15:14,996
we communicate our
votes by flags.
443
00:15:15,330 --> 00:15:16,420
Green's up, red's down.
444
00:15:16,450 --> 00:15:18,100
Stringer on the
outside line secure?
445
00:15:18,133 --> 00:15:19,203
As best we can tell, Billy.
446
00:15:19,233 --> 00:15:21,433
The only vulnerable point
is outside the mall.
447
00:15:21,466 --> 00:15:23,346
We got Southern Bell to
weld the manhole shut.
448
00:15:23,383 --> 00:15:25,383
Inside we're buried in concrete.
449
00:15:25,416 --> 00:15:26,416
Barney.
BARNEY: Yeah.
450
00:15:26,450 --> 00:15:28,160
Call the booth and
make sure that Rather
451
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:29,350
and Jennings and Brokaw
Have my direct line.
452
00:15:29,383 --> 00:15:30,233
Got it.
453
00:15:32,433 --> 00:15:35,223
Man, is this better
than sex or what?
454
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:38,150
So far, the Tanner forces
have shown no willingness
455
00:15:38,183 --> 00:15:41,273
to back down, and with
reliable sources confirming
456
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:44,160
that Chairman Wright is almost
certain to send the report
457
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,200
to the floor, it
seems that the Tanner
458
00:15:46,233 --> 00:15:49,333
delegate challenge,
however doomed,
459
00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:50,470
will take place tonight.
460
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,660
This is Molly Hark,
NBC News, Atlanta.
461
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:54,200
You know, dad, this
caricature really
462
00:15:54,233 --> 00:15:55,183
doesn't look like you at all.
463
00:15:55,216 --> 00:15:57,126
You want to see?
464
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:58,346
I mean, you know, he's
a good looking guy.
465
00:15:58,383 --> 00:16:00,003
They haven't found--
[telephone ringing]
466
00:16:00,330 --> 00:16:02,230
Well, other than his nose.
467
00:16:02,266 --> 00:16:03,376
Hello.
468
00:16:03,416 --> 00:16:05,196
Hello.
469
00:16:05,233 --> 00:16:06,383
Yeah just a sec.
470
00:16:06,416 --> 00:16:07,276
Honey.
471
00:16:07,316 --> 00:16:10,376
It's TJ.
472
00:16:10,416 --> 00:16:11,396
Yeah.
473
00:16:11,433 --> 00:16:13,163
TJ CAVANAUGH: Jack,
Wright's on board.
474
00:16:13,500 --> 00:16:14,120
Also, Estrich called.
475
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:16,470
How does Secretary of
State sound to you?
476
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,470
Well, tell him
I'll think about it.
477
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,370
I won't, but it
might distract him.
478
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:21,430
Get smiling Jack off my back.
479
00:16:21,466 --> 00:16:23,266
I don't want to talk to
him until I need him.
480
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:24,170
TJ CAVANAUGH: You got it.
481
00:16:27,330 --> 00:16:28,160
OK.
482
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:29,470
45 minutes til first vote.
483
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,250
Billy, you're on.
484
00:16:31,283 --> 00:16:34,333
Give me a phone.
485
00:16:34,366 --> 00:16:38,366
Does everyone
understand the rules?
486
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Those in favor of the adoption
of the Minority Report
487
00:16:43,233 --> 00:16:45,203
will vote aye.
488
00:16:45,233 --> 00:16:49,333
Those opposed to the adoption
of the Minority Report
489
00:16:49,366 --> 00:16:50,246
will vote no.
490
00:16:54,250 --> 00:16:57,400
The Chair will permit a bit of
time, considering the newness
491
00:16:57,433 --> 00:17:01,123
of this process,
to allow the Chairs
492
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:06,330
of the respective delegations
to move among them
493
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:08,660
and take the count--
494
00:17:08,100 --> 00:17:09,370
Kids, this is it.
495
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,350
Plug in your guitars.
496
00:17:11,383 --> 00:17:17,663
Dorothy Bush will
explain the mechanics.
497
00:17:17,100 --> 00:17:19,830
DOROTHY BUSH: Thank
you, Mr. Chairman.
498
00:17:19,116 --> 00:17:21,476
It's good to see all of
you here this afternoon,
499
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,830
and we are just about ready
to start the voting process.
500
00:17:26,116 --> 00:17:29,176
We will use the computer
that [inaudible] at the front
501
00:17:29,216 --> 00:17:32,146
of each delegation Chair.
502
00:17:32,183 --> 00:17:37,163
Please use the official tally
sheet to poll your delegation.
503
00:17:37,500 --> 00:17:40,470
You've all been provided
with those tally sheets.
504
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,330
Once you have the total--
505
00:17:42,660 --> 00:17:43,220
Heads, up, coming through.
506
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:44,150
Going Excuse me.
507
00:17:44,183 --> 00:17:47,203
[telephone ringing]
508
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:48,373
Uh, excuse me, bud.
509
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,130
I think that's my
seat you got there.
510
00:17:52,483 --> 00:17:54,303
Uh, you deaf?
511
00:17:54,333 --> 00:17:55,203
Look, pal.
512
00:17:55,233 --> 00:17:56,273
I said vamoose.
513
00:17:56,300 --> 00:17:58,160
I couldn't even
get into the hall.
514
00:17:58,500 --> 00:17:59,160
Yeah.
Well, that's the way it goes.
515
00:17:59,500 --> 00:18:00,120
Can you believe it?
516
00:18:00,150 --> 00:18:01,220
I'm the candidate's
father, and all they'd give
517
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:03,380
me is a goddamn press pass.
518
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:05,156
Uh, excuse me.
519
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,470
Did-- did you see the
candidate's father?
520
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,370
Tonight.
521
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:09,270
Of all nights.
522
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:10,470
Once over, huh?
523
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,830
This, uh, this--
this challenge.
524
00:18:14,116 --> 00:18:16,166
It's the only real drama
of the whole convention.
525
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:17,170
The rest is bullshit.
526
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,660
Set piece bullshit.
527
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,830
Is that right?
528
00:18:20,116 --> 00:18:22,276
He's onto something here.
529
00:18:22,316 --> 00:18:25,656
I know my son.
530
00:18:25,100 --> 00:18:27,270
He's got more than he's showing.
531
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:29,130
I can smell it.
532
00:18:29,166 --> 00:18:30,226
OK.
533
00:18:30,266 --> 00:18:31,126
Well, hell.
534
00:18:31,166 --> 00:18:34,826
I guess you should know.
535
00:18:34,116 --> 00:18:36,656
Mind if I watch with
you, Mr, Dukakis?
536
00:18:39,283 --> 00:18:40,353
[crowd chatter]
537
00:18:40,383 --> 00:18:42,223
I'm telling you, wait for
the absolute [inaudible]
538
00:18:42,250 --> 00:18:43,330
in the first four states.
539
00:18:43,366 --> 00:18:44,376
No fucking around, right?
540
00:18:44,416 --> 00:18:45,296
Right.
541
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:46,383
We show Jesse what we've got.
542
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:49,416
You tell me when he
starts releasing.
543
00:18:49,450 --> 00:18:50,320
All right, then.
544
00:18:50,350 --> 00:18:51,380
All right, then.
545
00:18:51,416 --> 00:18:53,156
Any luck, we just hold
onto California, right?
546
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,100
Nobody's going to
give a shit about
547
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,133
some rogue votes in California.
548
00:18:55,166 --> 00:18:56,656
Absolutely.
549
00:19:00,350 --> 00:19:01,330
TJ.
550
00:19:01,366 --> 00:19:02,416
Who's our people on
the Jackson trail?
551
00:19:02,450 --> 00:19:03,320
TJ CAVANAUGH: No one.
552
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:04,280
We don't have a line.
553
00:19:04,316 --> 00:19:05,276
Hey, Ed.
554
00:19:05,316 --> 00:19:06,346
How's it going?
555
00:19:06,383 --> 00:19:08,163
You telling me I can't
get in touch with them?
556
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:09,500
That was the deal.
557
00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:10,000
They want to preserve
their deniability.
558
00:19:10,330 --> 00:19:10,420
Deniability.
559
00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:12,130
What the hell is deniability?
560
00:19:12,166 --> 00:19:14,326
I'm trying to coordinate
a strategy here,
561
00:19:14,366 --> 00:19:17,346
and you're telling me that
I can't talk to the man?
562
00:19:17,383 --> 00:19:18,403
That was the deal, Billy.
563
00:19:18,433 --> 00:19:20,203
WOMAN: We picked up
five more in Arizona.
564
00:19:20,233 --> 00:19:21,103
Oh, Christ.
565
00:19:21,133 --> 00:19:22,233
What are they doing, man?
566
00:19:22,266 --> 00:19:24,096
They're blowing the whole
game in the first minute.
567
00:19:24,133 --> 00:19:25,333
OK.
Arkansas.
568
00:19:25,660 --> 00:19:26,180
Hold on.
Hold back.
569
00:19:26,216 --> 00:19:28,116
I want 26 ayes, you
understand that?
570
00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:29,220
Holding at 26.
571
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,350
That's 26-- 2 6.
572
00:19:31,383 --> 00:19:33,233
MAN: 119 in California.
573
00:19:33,266 --> 00:19:35,216
Are you fucking kidding me?
574
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:38,000
[inaudible] goddamn message.
575
00:19:38,330 --> 00:19:41,330
DOROTHY BUSH: California 363.
576
00:19:41,366 --> 00:19:47,176
[cheers]
577
00:19:47,216 --> 00:19:48,826
Mind fuck.
578
00:19:48,116 --> 00:19:48,476
Skipper, Skipper.
579
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:49,400
What, what?
580
00:19:49,433 --> 00:19:51,203
They won Jackson's votes.
581
00:19:51,233 --> 00:19:52,333
They were Dukakis's.
582
00:19:52,366 --> 00:19:53,396
What?
583
00:19:53,433 --> 00:19:55,453
Dukakis released them
to vote as they wish.
584
00:19:55,483 --> 00:19:59,183
Four of Dukakis's California
reps aren't even on the floor.
585
00:19:59,216 --> 00:20:01,346
Oh, unbelievable.
586
00:20:01,383 --> 00:20:04,503
Un-fucking-believable.
587
00:20:04,830 --> 00:20:06,370
Son of a bitch doesn't
even know he's at war.
588
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,320
He's out picking drapes for
the goddamn White House.
589
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:11,250
Yes.
590
00:20:11,283 --> 00:20:12,153
Wear that.
591
00:20:12,183 --> 00:20:13,503
Tie my shoe.
592
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:17,170
DOROTHY BUSH: Florida 154.
593
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,400
It's too easy.
594
00:20:18,433 --> 00:20:20,163
It can't last.
595
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:22,830
Only picking up a handful.
596
00:20:22,116 --> 00:20:24,096
The basic instinct
is to stay loyal.
597
00:20:24,133 --> 00:20:25,433
We need Jesse's people
in bigger numbers,
598
00:20:25,466 --> 00:20:27,176
and we need Michigan as a block.
599
00:20:27,216 --> 00:20:30,146
Yeah.
600
00:20:30,183 --> 00:20:31,383
Well, sweetheart.
601
00:20:31,416 --> 00:20:38,096
Dad, [inaudible] or does
it have to be an American?
602
00:20:38,133 --> 00:20:40,453
[interposing voices]
603
00:20:40,483 --> 00:20:42,373
What the hell happened
to the favorite son block?
604
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,000
I don't know.
605
00:20:44,330 --> 00:20:46,160
Governor Blanchard just
couldn't hold him on the line
606
00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:49,320
until all of a sudden Dukakis's
[inaudible] put the heat on.
607
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:51,170
I don't like the smell of it.
608
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,160
What does Minnesota look like?
609
00:20:53,500 --> 00:20:54,280
Not a single Dukakis vote.
610
00:20:54,316 --> 00:20:55,426
Jesse's only in for nine.
611
00:20:55,466 --> 00:20:58,496
What the fuck is the matter
with those Jackson people?
612
00:20:58,830 --> 00:20:59,270
Don't they know how to count?
613
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:00,420
We need Michigan back.
614
00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:02,160
You get me the candidate.
615
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:03,160
Hey, you.
616
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:04,160
You.
617
00:21:04,500 --> 00:21:05,000
I have a name, OK?
618
00:21:05,330 --> 00:21:06,330
It's Andrea, OK?
619
00:21:06,366 --> 00:21:07,326
You've got to reach him.
620
00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:09,416
No time for attitude, woman.
621
00:21:09,450 --> 00:21:12,100
You are out of my trailer now.
622
00:21:12,133 --> 00:21:14,333
Stevie, get me Jack.
623
00:21:14,660 --> 00:21:15,280
Did you see that?
624
00:21:15,316 --> 00:21:16,266
Did you hear that?
625
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,270
That's not right.
626
00:21:17,300 --> 00:21:18,270
MAN: I'm sorry?
627
00:21:18,300 --> 00:21:19,400
Mrs. Cavanaugh,
that's not right.
628
00:21:19,433 --> 00:21:23,333
MAN: We're having a lot of
problems here too, friend.
629
00:21:23,660 --> 00:21:24,180
Then deliver those to me.
630
00:21:24,216 --> 00:21:28,266
If you made a commitment,
then be prepared to keep it.
631
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:30,120
Hey, you looking for this?
632
00:21:30,150 --> 00:21:31,500
There you go.
633
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:32,830
[interposing voices]
634
00:21:32,116 --> 00:21:33,656
Listen.
635
00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:34,270
We've got to get
Michigan to re-poll.
636
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:37,420
I'm going to send Jack down.
637
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:40,300
You're going to bring
him out here on the floor?
638
00:21:40,333 --> 00:21:43,333
Ah, man, this fucking place
is going to go berserk.
639
00:21:43,660 --> 00:21:44,660
That's the idea, boy.
640
00:21:44,100 --> 00:21:45,220
We're going to shame
those sons a bitches
641
00:21:45,250 --> 00:21:48,660
into getting back in our column.
642
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:49,420
They're in trouble now.
643
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:50,320
He is?
644
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:51,420
How do you know?
645
00:21:51,450 --> 00:21:55,660
Jackson isn't coming
in in sufficient numbers.
646
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:57,430
They better get Michigan
to re-poll or their dead.
647
00:21:57,466 --> 00:21:59,126
That's amazing.
648
00:21:59,166 --> 00:22:04,096
See, to me, this just looks like
so much parliamentary bullshit.
649
00:22:04,133 --> 00:22:06,323
I'm sure you have
other qualities.
650
00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:12,300
DOROTHY BUSH: Illinois 200.
651
00:22:12,333 --> 00:22:15,003
[telephone ringing]
652
00:22:15,330 --> 00:22:17,200
I got it.
653
00:22:17,233 --> 00:22:18,153
Yeah.
Yeah.
654
00:22:18,183 --> 00:22:19,503
Just a sec.
655
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:23,830
Jack, it's Billy.
656
00:22:23,116 --> 00:22:24,656
Yeah.
657
00:22:24,100 --> 00:22:25,400
Jack, listen.
658
00:22:25,433 --> 00:22:26,473
I'm sending you
down to the floor.
659
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,830
We've got to get
Michigan to re-poll.
660
00:22:28,116 --> 00:22:29,826
JACK (ON PHONE): What?
661
00:22:29,116 --> 00:22:30,276
It's our last chance, man.
662
00:22:30,316 --> 00:22:31,396
Jackson is holding out.
663
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:33,333
We got three minutes tops.
664
00:22:33,660 --> 00:22:36,200
Once Texas votes,
you're dog meat-- sir.
665
00:22:36,233 --> 00:22:38,203
OK.
666
00:22:38,233 --> 00:22:39,123
What?
667
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:42,100
I'm going down to the floor.
668
00:22:42,133 --> 00:22:43,273
- What?
- He's going down.
669
00:22:43,300 --> 00:22:44,170
He's going down.
670
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,300
He's going down.
671
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,003
They're asking me for numbers.
672
00:22:49,330 --> 00:22:50,230
Stringer, what are
you doing here, man?
673
00:22:50,266 --> 00:22:52,126
Jack is going down to the floor.
674
00:22:52,166 --> 00:22:55,156
I want every goddamn
camera in the place on him.
675
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:56,250
I want to know where
is every second.
676
00:22:56,283 --> 00:22:57,223
Got it.
677
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:58,480
TJ, get me Brokaw.
678
00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,380
OK.
679
00:22:59,416 --> 00:23:00,416
All right, people.
680
00:23:00,450 --> 00:23:02,280
We are going to slow
things way down now.
681
00:23:02,316 --> 00:23:04,176
We're going to slow way down.
682
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:05,226
Big states all passed.
683
00:23:05,266 --> 00:23:07,466
Tom, get me a pass on Ohio.
684
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,830
WOMAN: Brokaw 72.
685
00:23:09,116 --> 00:23:11,176
Right, right, right, right.
686
00:23:11,216 --> 00:23:12,146
Hi, Tom?
Hello.
687
00:23:12,183 --> 00:23:13,303
Yeah, guess what?
688
00:23:13,333 --> 00:23:15,323
I've got an exclusive for
you, an absolute exclusive.
689
00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:16,480
Get me Rather.
690
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,000
Jack Tanner is going to walk
out down on the floor, Tom.
691
00:23:19,330 --> 00:23:20,000
Uh-huh.
692
00:23:20,330 --> 00:23:21,180
First time in history
it's ever been
693
00:23:21,216 --> 00:23:23,196
done, that a candidate has gone
on the floor during a vote.
694
00:23:23,233 --> 00:23:24,223
Yeah?
695
00:23:24,250 --> 00:23:25,330
Well, I don't know,
five minutes tops.
696
00:23:25,366 --> 00:23:27,126
I let you know which portal
once we get there, huh?
697
00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:28,326
Yeah, right.
698
00:23:28,660 --> 00:23:30,170
Bye.
699
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,250
You haven't got me yet,
you goddamn Greek geek.
700
00:23:42,350 --> 00:23:44,450
Get me a shirt.
701
00:23:44,483 --> 00:23:49,233
MAN: On the floor,
portal H. Portal H.
702
00:23:49,266 --> 00:23:52,196
You got Tanner behind you.
703
00:23:52,233 --> 00:23:55,183
Jack Tanner. [inaudible]
704
00:23:55,216 --> 00:23:58,396
DOROTHY BUSH: New Jersey 126.
705
00:23:58,433 --> 00:24:01,123
[crowd chatter]
706
00:24:07,333 --> 00:24:08,283
Get me Barney.
707
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,330
Barney, [inaudible]
bring the man in.
708
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:17,330
H. Got it.
709
00:24:17,660 --> 00:24:18,330
H. All right.
710
00:24:18,660 --> 00:24:23,330
All right. one,
two, three, four.
711
00:24:23,660 --> 00:24:25,160
[crowd chatter]
712
00:24:32,316 --> 00:24:33,376
Look at him.
713
00:24:33,416 --> 00:24:34,376
Look at him.
714
00:24:34,416 --> 00:24:36,116
He's just stirring
up left and right.
715
00:24:36,150 --> 00:24:37,160
They're freaking out.
716
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:38,170
They don't what to do.
717
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:39,430
I know, but it leaves him
very vulnerable politically.
718
00:24:39,466 --> 00:24:41,426
This is why you don't
do this kind of thing.
719
00:24:41,466 --> 00:24:42,996
Oh, that's just stuffy.
720
00:24:43,330 --> 00:24:44,220
I mean, that's what the
whole campaign is about.
721
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:46,450
It's about making changes,
stirring things up.
722
00:24:46,483 --> 00:24:47,383
Ssh.
723
00:24:47,416 --> 00:24:48,266
Ssh.
724
00:24:51,133 --> 00:24:52,103
A stunt.
725

755
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:53,216
We lose nobody.
756
00:25:53,250 --> 00:25:54,220
We got no margin here.
757
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:55,270

What do we need from
Ohio in the count.

00:26:01,233 --> 00:26:02,333
204.
764
00:26:02,366 --> 00:26:04,216

00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,660
No.

Something's wrong here, guys.
797
00:26:47,333 --> 00:26:49,353
Something is very
definitely wrong.
798
00:26:49,383 --> 00:26:50,253
Billy.
799
00:26:50,283 --> 00:26:51,183

You get it, don't you TJ?
809
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:24,323
Jesse Jackson, the man
I couldn't talk to.
810
00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:26,120
He just got whatever
it was he wanted,
811
00:27:26,150 --> 00:27:32,320
and we spent the night
negotiating for him.
812
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:34,500
Have a good day.
813
00:27:44,330 --> 00:27:47,350

Oh, go.

I should have seen it.
816
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,500
I've been at this for 16 years.
817
00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:58,400
I should have seen it.
818
00:28:05,416 --> 00:28:07,376
Right.
819
00:28:07,416 --> 00:28:10,126
Hm?
820
00:28:10,166 --> 00:28:14,466
Oh, uh, I've had some offers.
821
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,270
Oh, yeah.
822
00:28:18,300 --> 00:28:20,380
Markie wants me to
be his-- his AA.
823
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,400
No.
824
00:28:27,433 --> 00:28:29,333
No, you know me, Joe.
825
00:28:29,660 --> 00:28:32,470
You put me behind
a desk and I die.
826
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,350
Right.
827
00:28:37,366 --> 00:28:41,476
Pfft, man, I need a drink.
828
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:42,370
What time is it?
829
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,500
Really?
830
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,450
God, Joe, you gotta stop
calling me at these hours.
831
00:28:59,660 --> 00:29:05,380
I called you?
832
00:29:05,383 --> 00:29:08,253
Well, what do ya know?
833
00:29:15,250 --> 00:29:18,450
