1
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,843
Judge mendoza,
I'm naming you as my nominee
2
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,345
To be the next associate justice
3
00:00:11,412 --> 00:00:12,780
Of the united states
Supreme court.
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:14,148
My name is sam seaborn
5
00:00:14,215 --> 00:00:16,050
And I'm the deputy
Communications director.
6
00:00:16,117 --> 00:00:18,119
Josh lyman,
Deputy chief of staff.
7
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:19,720
I'm josiah bartlet.
I'm charles young.
8
00:00:19,787 --> 00:00:20,954
But you prefer
Charlie, right?
9
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:21,989
I should call you zoey?
10
00:00:22,056 --> 00:00:23,257
If I can call you charlie.
11
00:00:23,324 --> 00:00:24,992
We've met ten
Or 12 times.
12
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:25,993
I'm leo mcgarry,
13
00:00:26,060 --> 00:00:27,228
White house
Chief of staff.
14
00:00:27,295 --> 00:00:28,629
I thought
You were the butler.
15
00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:30,331
Leo mcgarry is
White house chief of staff.
16
00:00:30,398 --> 00:00:31,999
I'm your host, c.J.
Let's play our game.
17
00:00:32,066 --> 00:00:33,634
I'm toby ziegler.
From the white house.
18
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:34,735
Yeah.
19
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:40,841
Good evening.
20
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:42,543
Welcome to the third installment
21
00:00:42,610 --> 00:00:45,113
Of this year's marjorie du pont
Lecture series.
22
00:00:45,179 --> 00:00:47,081
I see by the size of the turnout
23
00:00:47,148 --> 00:00:49,117
You're excited
To meet tonight's guest...
24
00:00:49,183 --> 00:00:50,951
What are you talking about?
25
00:00:51,018 --> 00:00:52,052
He was arrested.
26
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,321
For what?
27
00:00:53,387 --> 00:00:54,988
Drunk driving, resisting arrest
28
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:56,490
And, I think,
Disorderly conduct.
29
00:00:56,557 --> 00:00:57,591
You think?
30
00:00:57,658 --> 00:00:58,426
This thing's
31
00:00:58,492 --> 00:01:00,128
About 30 minutes old, josh.
32
00:01:00,194 --> 00:01:02,196
We don't know exactly
What happened.
33
00:01:02,263 --> 00:01:03,464
Mendoza doesn't drink.
34
00:01:03,531 --> 00:01:05,266
He was arrested
For drunk driving.
35
00:01:05,333 --> 00:01:07,401
Roberto mendoza
Doesn't drink, josh.
36
00:01:07,468 --> 00:01:08,936
How much does the press know?
37
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:10,070
They don't know anything.
38
00:01:10,138 --> 00:01:11,539
The cops haven't leaked it?
39
00:01:11,605 --> 00:01:13,307
I swear to god,
I don't think the cops know.
40
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:15,343
They don't know
They arrested roberto mendoza?
41
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:17,511
They don't know
It's that roberto mendoza.
42
00:01:17,578 --> 00:01:19,547
I've got this... This thingnow.
43
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:20,748
I got a cab.
44
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,150
The white house.
45
00:01:22,216 --> 00:01:23,817
I'll let you know
What's going on.
46
00:01:23,884 --> 00:01:26,654
Stay ahead of the pace, sam,
And have toby page me.
47
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,457
I don't even know
If this guy's called a lawyer.
48
00:01:29,523 --> 00:01:31,559
Is he sitting in a jail cell
Right now?
49
00:01:31,625 --> 00:01:34,195
You're not there anymore,
Are you?
50
00:01:34,262 --> 00:01:36,864
I'm talking
To no one at all right now.
51
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:38,832
He came down to the beltway
52
00:01:38,899 --> 00:01:41,769
Where he worked as floor manager
For the house minority whip
53
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:45,105
And chief of staff
For congressman earl brennan.
54
00:01:45,173 --> 00:01:46,340
After serving
55
00:01:46,407 --> 00:01:48,108
As senior political director
56
00:01:48,176 --> 00:01:50,544
For jed bartlet's
Presidential campaign
57
00:01:50,611 --> 00:01:53,113
He was appointed deputy
White house chief of staff.
58
00:01:53,181 --> 00:01:54,215
Please welcome
59
00:01:54,282 --> 00:01:55,783
Joshua lyman. Josh.
60
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:58,118
( applause )
61
00:01:58,186 --> 00:01:59,187
Thank you.
62
00:01:59,253 --> 00:02:00,254
Thank you very much.
63
00:02:00,321 --> 00:02:01,455
Good to see you.
64
00:02:01,522 --> 00:02:02,956
Thanks, david.
It's good to see you.
65
00:02:03,023 --> 00:02:03,991
Have a seat.
66
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:05,025
All right.
67
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:06,494
Just slip
That mike on.
68
00:02:08,196 --> 00:02:10,864
Josh, you're here to
Tell us what it's like
69
00:02:10,931 --> 00:02:12,132
To work for
The president.
70
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,601
I'll do my best.
71
00:02:13,667 --> 00:02:14,602
What happened?
72
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,103
It's not as bad
As you think, c.J.
73
00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:17,471
Was the
President's nominee
74
00:02:17,538 --> 00:02:19,340
For the supreme court
Just arrested?
Yes.
75
00:02:19,407 --> 00:02:20,974
Then it's pretty
Bad, isn't it?
Sure.
76
00:02:21,041 --> 00:02:22,276
I thought he doesn't drink.
77
00:02:22,343 --> 00:02:23,010
He doesn't drink.
78
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:23,911
He was tonight.
79
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:25,279
C.J., we vetted the man.
80
00:02:25,346 --> 00:02:26,547
I'm not saying he's
Not a heavy drinker.
81
00:02:26,614 --> 00:02:27,615
I'm saying he
Doesn't drink.
82
00:02:27,681 --> 00:02:28,949
Then what was he
Pulled over for?
83
00:02:29,016 --> 00:02:30,184
Driving while
Being hispanic.
84
00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:32,152
Does toby know?
85
00:02:32,220 --> 00:02:34,322
I stepped off
The edge of the world.
86
00:02:34,388 --> 00:02:35,989
Yes.
Where'd
This happen?
87
00:02:36,056 --> 00:02:37,191
Wesley, connecticut.
88
00:02:37,258 --> 00:02:38,826
Why'd he refuse
The breathalyzer?
89
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:40,027
Because he's
A crazy man
90
00:02:40,093 --> 00:02:41,329
Who's out to
Ruin my life.
91
00:02:41,395 --> 00:02:42,996
Toby, that's
What he's out to do.
92
00:02:43,063 --> 00:02:43,931
Has anyone
Posted bail?
93
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,165
No.
Why not?
94
00:02:45,233 --> 00:02:46,434
They can't
Find a judge.
Why not?
95
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,835
It's not cook county,
Toby.
96
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:49,737
It's friday night
In wesley, connecticut.
97
00:02:49,803 --> 00:02:51,439
Believe me
When I tell you this, c.J.
98
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:53,073
I will figure out a way
To blame this on you.
99
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,442
I have no doubt
About that.
100
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:57,010
Have someone find his lawyer
And talk to him.
101
00:02:57,077 --> 00:03:00,314
Sam, there's an air force
Lear jet with its motor running.
102
00:03:00,381 --> 00:03:02,583
Fly to westchester county
Airport, rent a car
103
00:03:02,650 --> 00:03:05,386
Drive to wesley and get
The next associate justice
104
00:03:05,453 --> 00:03:08,722
Of the supreme court
Out of jail. C.J.!
105
00:03:08,789 --> 00:03:10,358
Sam sees one reporter
When he gets off that plane
106
00:03:10,424 --> 00:03:11,492
I'm going to blame you.
107
00:03:11,559 --> 00:03:12,760
Toby's got you
Covered there.
108
00:03:12,826 --> 00:03:13,761
I'm going with sam.
109
00:03:13,827 --> 00:03:14,562
Toby.
110
00:03:14,628 --> 00:03:15,629
The judge and
I are going
111
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:17,231
To have an abrupt
Conversation.
112
00:03:17,298 --> 00:03:18,799
I want my phone to ring once
113
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:19,933
Every 15 minutes.
114
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,502
I want to know
What's going on.
115
00:04:10,384 --> 00:04:12,753
About a typical day
At the white house.
116
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:14,822
Well, the first thing
I'll tell you is--
117
00:04:14,888 --> 00:04:16,924
There's no such thing.
118
00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,592
There's a schedule
119
00:04:18,659 --> 00:04:21,462
And there's a structure,
To be sure, and...
120
00:04:21,529 --> 00:04:23,597
To a certain extent
It starts out
121
00:04:23,664 --> 00:04:27,335
As a nine-to-five job,
But you can pretty much
122
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:30,371
Count on it being
Blown to hell by 9:30.
123
00:04:30,438 --> 00:04:33,541
Give us an example.
124
00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:37,878
I-I'll give you
An example from this week.
125
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:40,381
In fact, the story
I'm about to tell you
126
00:04:40,448 --> 00:04:43,050
All happened
Within the last 36 hours.
127
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:45,185
Anyone who's been
Reading the papers
128
00:04:45,252 --> 00:04:46,520
In the last few days
129
00:04:46,587 --> 00:04:48,656
Has probably
Been following along
130
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:51,459
With what we call the news cycle
That wouldn't end.
131
00:04:51,525 --> 00:04:53,026
Depending on how
You look at it
132
00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:56,897
It started either with a cabinet
Secretary losing her temper
133
00:04:56,964 --> 00:05:00,468
A committee chairman baiting her
During a hearing
134
00:05:00,534 --> 00:05:03,737
The president answering
A question he shouldn't have
135
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:09,109
A dentist appointment,
Or me, being stupid.
136
00:05:09,176 --> 00:05:10,578
For the record, I'd like to say
137
00:05:10,644 --> 00:05:13,547
That I don't think
It was as much my fault
138
00:05:13,614 --> 00:05:14,948
As other people do.
139
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:17,451
( laughter )
140
00:05:17,518 --> 00:05:18,619
One thing's for sure.
141
00:05:18,686 --> 00:05:20,220
It started out as a day
142
00:05:20,287 --> 00:05:22,490
That was supposed to trumpet
The president's vision
143
00:05:22,556 --> 00:05:23,791
For educational reform.
144
00:05:23,857 --> 00:05:25,393
Sam:
Give me the bullet points.
145
00:05:25,459 --> 00:05:27,428
I understand
This, sam.
Excellent.
146
00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:29,229
I really do.
I have complete
Confidence in you.
147
00:05:29,296 --> 00:05:30,230
Thank you.
148
00:05:30,297 --> 00:05:31,599
Give him the
Bullet points.
149
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,266
I feel bathed
In your confidence
150
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,802
As well, toby.
C.J.
151
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:37,605
Forgive student loans to people
Who become teachers
152
00:05:37,671 --> 00:05:39,440
And spend at least three years
153
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:41,375
Teaching in a rural
Or inner city school
154
00:05:41,442 --> 00:05:42,843
Give cash bonuses to people
155
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,645
Who leave other careers
To become teachers
156
00:05:44,712 --> 00:05:46,013
And provide federal money
157
00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:47,981
For grants
To individual school districts
158
00:05:48,048 --> 00:05:50,083
To use older,
More experienced teachers
159
00:05:50,150 --> 00:05:52,185
To train younger,
Less experienced teachers.
160
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,955
Half of all new teachers
Quit in the first three years.
161
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:57,257
It's right here
On my index card, toby.
162
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:58,926
Very good, then.
163
00:05:58,992 --> 00:06:00,027
Toby.
164
00:06:00,093 --> 00:06:01,128
Yeah.
165
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:02,796
Got a minute?
166
00:06:02,863 --> 00:06:04,097
Thank you both.
167
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:11,038
Hey, you know what?
What?
168
00:06:11,104 --> 00:06:12,372
What time is your briefing?
169
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,574
11:00.
170
00:06:13,641 --> 00:06:14,675
You should push it
171
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:15,476
To 1:00.
172
00:06:15,543 --> 00:06:16,610
I thought about that.
173
00:06:16,677 --> 00:06:18,011
Do it after
The bill signing
174
00:06:18,078 --> 00:06:19,146
And let this
Be the story.
175
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:20,448
Let's control
The news cycle.
176
00:06:20,514 --> 00:06:21,915
Carol, move the
Briefing to 1:00.
177
00:06:21,982 --> 00:06:22,916
You can't.
Why not?
178
00:06:22,983 --> 00:06:23,717
You have the thing.
179
00:06:23,784 --> 00:06:24,985
This is a
Perfect excuse
180
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,219
To postpone the thing.
181
00:06:26,286 --> 00:06:27,254
You really don't
Want to do that.
182
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,422
You have a thing?
183
00:06:28,489 --> 00:06:29,657
I have a dentist
Appointment at noon.
184
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:31,391
What's wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
185
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:32,960
I'm experiencing some pain.
186
00:06:33,026 --> 00:06:34,428
For how long?
187
00:06:34,495 --> 00:06:36,964
About a month now,
But it'll go away by itself.
188
00:06:37,030 --> 00:06:37,965
When?
189
00:06:38,031 --> 00:06:39,099
When I die, sam.
190
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,400
Carol, cancel
The appointment.
191
00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:41,702
Carol, set the briefing
For 2:00.
192
00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:42,903
Keep the appointment.
193
00:06:42,970 --> 00:06:44,071
Sam.
194
00:06:44,137 --> 00:06:45,906
Your teeth are the best
Friends you got, c.J.
195
00:06:45,973 --> 00:06:48,341
They are?
Take care of them,
They'll take care of you.
196
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:50,177
When did you start
Talking like this?
197
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:51,845
I'm nuts for
Dental hygiene.
198
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:53,113
Go away. Now.
199
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:54,381
Okay.
200
00:06:54,448 --> 00:06:56,283
She called him a racist.
201
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:57,384
She didn't use
That word.
202
00:06:57,451 --> 00:06:58,552
What word did she use?
203
00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:00,387
Well, yes,
She used that word.
204
00:07:00,454 --> 00:07:01,188
Bonnie, ginger.
205
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:02,590
Yes.
206
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:04,992
I want anything that might
Be on the wire already
207
00:07:05,058 --> 00:07:07,595
About the hud secretary
Calling jack wooden a racist.
208
00:07:07,661 --> 00:07:08,596
You want it now?
209
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:09,930
No, bonnie, I want it
210
00:07:09,997 --> 00:07:12,399
At whatever leisurely
Pace you two feel...
211
00:07:12,466 --> 00:07:13,333
I'm just asking.
212
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,268
I want it now.
213
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:17,137
On c-span, she
Called him a racist.
214
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:18,672
No, no, no,
Not just wooden.
215
00:07:18,739 --> 00:07:21,475
She was pretty careful
To include all republicans.
216
00:07:21,542 --> 00:07:23,276
Why are you
Good-humored
About this?
217
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:24,377
She was baited.
218
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:25,479
I don't care.
219
00:07:25,546 --> 00:07:26,947
She was baited
And she was right.
220
00:07:27,014 --> 00:07:27,748
Good for her.
221
00:07:27,815 --> 00:07:29,216
Excuse me, josh,
Did you know
222
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:30,350
Deborah o'leary called...
223
00:07:30,417 --> 00:07:31,952
Is that a wire story?
224
00:07:32,019 --> 00:07:33,086
What's it say?
225
00:07:33,153 --> 00:07:35,055
"Wooden's lengthy
Recitation of problems
226
00:07:35,122 --> 00:07:37,658
"Confronting public housing
Drew an angry response
227
00:07:37,725 --> 00:07:38,826
From secretary o'leary"
228
00:07:38,892 --> 00:07:40,293
And here is
What she said.
229
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,663
"Public housing has
Serious problems, mr. Chairman.
230
00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:44,431
"I don't deny that, but if you
231
00:07:44,498 --> 00:07:46,466
And your colleagues in
The republican party..."
232
00:07:46,534 --> 00:07:47,868
( moaning )
"Were as
Invested
233
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:49,837
"In solving the problems
Associated with poverty
234
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:51,805
"As you are in scoring
Political points
235
00:07:51,872 --> 00:07:53,607
"On the backs of the poor
People and minorities
236
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:55,142
You might just see the value."
237
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,645
"'are you calling me
A racist?' wooden shot back."
238
00:07:57,711 --> 00:07:59,780
"Of course not,"
She answered wisely.
239
00:07:59,847 --> 00:08:02,182
"'if the shoe fits,"
Responded the secretary.'"
240
00:08:02,249 --> 00:08:05,118
Well. Wasn't that clever of her?
241
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,286
Donald morales
242
00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:07,821
Who is the spokesman
243
00:08:07,888 --> 00:08:11,124
For the department of housing
And urban development
244
00:08:11,191 --> 00:08:14,862
And who was wishing he hadn't
Gotten out of bed that morning
245
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:16,396
( audience chuckles )
246
00:08:16,463 --> 00:08:17,898
Confirms what happened.
247
00:08:17,965 --> 00:08:20,400
Now, there's the matter
Of telling the president.
248
00:08:20,467 --> 00:08:21,635
"If the shoe fits"?!
249
00:08:21,702 --> 00:08:23,436
It's a little bit
Worse, actually.
250
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:25,806
"When reporters confronted
Secretary o'leary
251
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:27,775
"In the hallway
Outside the hearing room
252
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,276
She defen..." oh, come on.
253
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:30,443
Don't worry
About it.
254
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:31,545
Leo.
I'll take
Care of it.
255
00:08:31,612 --> 00:08:32,746
Is she on her
Way here?
256
00:08:32,813 --> 00:08:35,415
She'll be here
In a half an hour.
257
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:36,483
Mr. President?
258
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:37,484
Yeah.
259
00:08:37,551 --> 00:08:38,552
Let's go.
260
00:08:38,619 --> 00:08:39,820
"If the shoe fits."
261
00:08:39,887 --> 00:08:41,421
Is that the best
She could do?
262
00:08:41,488 --> 00:08:42,790
Of her many
Transgressions
263
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,391
Mr. President,
Let's not worry
264
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:45,726
About she resorted
To cliche.
265
00:08:45,793 --> 00:08:46,860
Ladies and gentlemen
266
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:49,697
The president
Of the united states.
267
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:51,965
The president spoke briefly.
268
00:08:52,032 --> 00:08:55,402
The president has never spoken
Briefly in his life, but...
269
00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:56,870
( audience laughing )
270
00:08:56,937 --> 00:09:00,073
He spoke, he signed the bill,
He gave away the pens.
271
00:09:00,140 --> 00:09:02,776
Then he took a few questions
From the press.
272
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:05,378
Now, before I go on,
It should be pointed out
273
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:08,916
That according to every poll
Conducted in the universe
274
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:10,918
The issue
That concerns americans
275
00:09:10,984 --> 00:09:12,953
More than any other
Is education.
276
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,055
Now, the president had
Just signed off
277
00:09:15,122 --> 00:09:17,658
On $700 million
In new money for education
278
00:09:17,725 --> 00:09:18,926
And announced a plan
279
00:09:18,992 --> 00:09:21,328
Of aggressive
Education initiatives.
280
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:24,632
What do you suppose the first
Question from the press was?
281
00:09:24,698 --> 00:09:25,899
Mr. President
282
00:09:25,966 --> 00:09:27,668
Do you agree with
Secretary o'leary
283
00:09:27,735 --> 00:09:29,302
That congressman wooden
Is a racist?
284
00:09:29,369 --> 00:09:31,805
And if not, do you plan on
Asking for her resignation?
285
00:09:31,872 --> 00:09:34,842
Let me say that I have great
Confidence in deborah o'leary.
286
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:36,777
She's done a terrific
Job at hud
287
00:09:36,844 --> 00:09:38,045
Helping thousands
Of people
288
00:09:38,111 --> 00:09:39,913
Make the very
Difficult transition
289
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:41,915
From joblessness
And homelessness
290
00:09:41,982 --> 00:09:43,784
To more fulfilling
And productive lives.
291
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:44,952
I'm sorry,
Mr. President.
292
00:09:45,018 --> 00:09:46,687
You didn't answer
The question.
293
00:09:46,754 --> 00:09:48,355
I was hoping you wouldn't
Notice that, danny.
294
00:09:48,421 --> 00:09:49,923
I did, sir.
295
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:51,558
Then I will tell you
That I agree
296
00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:54,928
That the republican party does
Not have a comprehensive program
297
00:09:54,995 --> 00:09:56,864
For combating poverty
In this country.
298
00:09:56,930 --> 00:09:59,099
That being said,
There are countless republicans
299
00:09:59,166 --> 00:10:01,101
Who are working very hard
To change
300
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:03,003
Their party's legacy
On some of these issues
301
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:05,272
And I hope to be working
With them to do just that.
302
00:10:05,338 --> 00:10:08,108
I'm sure that was an answer
To some question, mr. President.
303
00:10:08,175 --> 00:10:09,710
It just wasn't the answer
To mine.
304
00:10:09,777 --> 00:10:11,511
If only we'd stopped it
Right there.
305
00:10:11,578 --> 00:10:14,047
If only we'd said,
"Sorry, the president
306
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:16,616
Can't take
Any questions right now"
307
00:10:16,684 --> 00:10:19,519
Or, uh, "We'll cover this
In the briefing"
308
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:21,288
Or "The building is on fire"
309
00:10:21,354 --> 00:10:22,790
( laughter )
310
00:10:22,856 --> 00:10:26,293
But for some reason, it took us
All a moment to realize
311
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:29,429
That there was no press
Secretary in the room.
312
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:32,132
Frankly, I think she went
Too far in assigning motive
313
00:10:32,199 --> 00:10:34,735
To congressman wooden
And the republican party.
314
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:36,003
Will you be speaking to her?
315
00:10:36,069 --> 00:10:37,838
She'll be meeting
With leo mcgarry.
316
00:10:37,905 --> 00:10:39,472
Will he ask her to apologize?
317
00:10:39,539 --> 00:10:41,241
An apology'd be appropriate.
318
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:42,375
Oh, leo.
319
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:43,576
Sam. ( coughs )
320
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,212
Folks, all this is
Going to be covered
321
00:10:45,278 --> 00:10:46,346
In the 2:00 briefing.
322
00:10:46,413 --> 00:10:47,781
The president's
Late for lunch
323
00:10:47,848 --> 00:10:49,817
With the u.N. Ambassador.
I'm sorry.
324
00:10:49,883 --> 00:10:51,618
Thank you, everyone.
325
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:52,552
Mr. President.
326
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:53,687
One more question.
327
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:55,555
That went
Pretty well.
328
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:56,556
Sam.
329
00:10:56,623 --> 00:10:57,758
Yeah.
330
00:10:57,825 --> 00:10:59,359
The u.N. Ambassador
Is in portugal.
331
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:00,360
Okay.
332
00:11:00,427 --> 00:11:02,229
My bad.
333
00:11:02,295 --> 00:11:04,064
Eight words.
334
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:06,333
"The president's not taking
Any questions right now."
335
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:08,568
If we'd just stepped in
30 seconds sooner.
336
00:11:08,635 --> 00:11:10,503
( beeping )
337
00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:11,571
It's me.
338
00:11:11,638 --> 00:11:12,639
I'm sorry. I, uh...
339
00:11:12,706 --> 00:11:13,874
There's a thing.
340
00:11:13,941 --> 00:11:16,143
I have,
I have to answer this now.
341
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:18,846
This'll just, uh,
Take a second.
342
00:11:18,912 --> 00:11:23,583
Uh... This is weird,
I know, but, uh, anyway...
343
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:24,785
Uh, yeah.
344
00:11:24,852 --> 00:11:25,652
Yeah, it's me.
345
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:26,787
Are you there yet?
346
00:11:26,854 --> 00:11:27,587
Toby:
We're lost.
347
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:28,756
You're lost?
348
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:30,057
Sam:
We're not lost.
349
00:11:30,123 --> 00:11:31,124
Toby:
You're from connecticut.
350
00:11:31,191 --> 00:11:32,692
What exit do we want
For wesley?
351
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:33,693
What?
352
00:11:33,761 --> 00:11:34,895
We missed the exit.
353
00:11:34,962 --> 00:11:36,429
We didn't miss
The exit.
354
00:11:36,496 --> 00:11:38,498
Toby, I'm kind of in the middle
Of something here.
355
00:11:38,565 --> 00:11:39,833
Just tell me.
356
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:41,368
You bet, buddy.
Call me when you know something.
357
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,038
Sorry about that.
358
00:11:45,105 --> 00:11:47,340
Can you tell us
What that was about?
359
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:49,109
The trade deficit.
360
00:11:49,176 --> 00:11:50,477
Where was I?
361
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:51,779
If you'd only
362
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:53,646
Gotten there 30 seconds sooner.
363
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,548
The day would have gone
A lot differently.
364
00:11:55,615 --> 00:11:57,450
The president had said
365
00:11:57,517 --> 00:11:59,652
That secretary o'leary
Should apologize.
366
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:02,823
The press wanted to know if she
Would be fired if she didn't
367
00:12:02,890 --> 00:12:04,424
And we didn't have an answer.
368
00:12:04,491 --> 00:12:07,027
She was coming up to the white
House for a showdown.
369
00:12:07,094 --> 00:12:09,129
This is what the day
Was about now
370
00:12:09,196 --> 00:12:12,833
And the day was about
To get worse
371
00:12:12,900 --> 00:12:15,168
Because I was about
To step to the plate.
372
00:12:21,975 --> 00:12:23,176
We're going
The wrong way.
373
00:12:23,243 --> 00:12:24,177
No, we're not.
374
00:12:24,244 --> 00:12:25,412
We're supposed
To be going east.
375
00:12:25,478 --> 00:12:26,646
We're going east.
376
00:12:26,713 --> 00:12:28,115
How do you know
We're going east?
377
00:12:28,181 --> 00:12:29,316
The sun rises
In the east.
378
00:12:29,382 --> 00:12:30,984
It's dark outside.
379
00:12:31,051 --> 00:12:33,353
Also, that bright
Star in the northern
Sky is polaris.
380
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:34,621
So what?
381
00:12:34,687 --> 00:12:37,224
I'm using
Celestial navigation.
382
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:39,426
Hey, galileo, get off
At the next exit
383
00:12:39,492 --> 00:12:40,828
And turn the car around.
384
00:12:40,894 --> 00:12:42,495
Josh:
Secretary o'leary was told
385
00:12:42,562 --> 00:12:46,066
That leo mcgarry wanted
To see her as soon as possible.
386
00:12:46,133 --> 00:12:49,136
There was no question
That she was going to be angry
387
00:12:49,202 --> 00:12:52,039
About the president publicly
Asking her to apologize
388
00:12:52,105 --> 00:12:54,274
But at the moment,
That was leo's problem.
389
00:12:54,341 --> 00:12:56,643
I can't believe
He did that, leo.
390
00:12:56,709 --> 00:12:58,645
How could he
You're pissed at us?
391
00:12:58,711 --> 00:13:00,013
Publicly demand
That I apologize
392
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,849
Without hearing
My side of the
Story first?
393
00:13:01,915 --> 00:13:03,250
We blew the precedent.
We'll cop to that
394
00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:05,385
But I've got videotape
Of your side of the story.
395
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:06,419
The man's a racist.
396
00:13:06,486 --> 00:13:07,821
Maybe so.
"Maybe"?
397
00:13:07,888 --> 00:13:09,189
He's using his oversight
Authority to spit
398
00:13:09,256 --> 00:13:10,757
At poor people
And minorities
399
00:13:10,824 --> 00:13:12,459
Which, in his mind,
Are the same thing.
400
00:13:12,525 --> 00:13:13,660
Look!
401
00:13:13,726 --> 00:13:15,195
He's doing it
Because he can.
402
00:13:15,262 --> 00:13:17,030
He's doing it
Because he can
Score points
403
00:13:17,097 --> 00:13:18,665
With his narrow-minded
Constituents.
404
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:20,067
His narrow-minded
Constituents
405
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,602
Are also ournarrow-minded
Constituents.
406
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:23,803
Oh, for crying
Out loud!
407
00:13:23,871 --> 00:13:25,372
When are you guys
Going to stop
408
00:13:25,438 --> 00:13:26,406
Running for president?!
409
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,241
When angels stand
On pinheads, debbie.
410
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,077
We need their votes
On any number of issues
411
00:13:30,143 --> 00:13:31,478
Including, by the way,
The budget
412
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:33,947
For the department of housing
And urban development.
413
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:36,216
Attacking hud is code
For attacking blacks.
414
00:13:36,283 --> 00:13:38,418
Thanks-- having been born
Yesterday on a turnip truck.
415
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,187
Do you not think
416
00:13:40,253 --> 00:13:42,122
It is my role as the
Highest-ranking african-american
Woman
417
00:13:42,189 --> 00:13:43,590
In government to point out...?
418
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:47,827
I think, debbie, your role,
First and foremost
419
00:13:47,895 --> 00:13:49,596
Is to serve the president--
420
00:13:49,662 --> 00:13:53,100
A task today at which you failed
Spectacularly.
421
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:57,770
Leo...
422
00:13:57,837 --> 00:14:00,173
You got to apologize.
423
00:14:04,744 --> 00:14:05,946
I'm sorry.
424
00:14:06,013 --> 00:14:07,114
Not to me, debbie.
425
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:08,982
Look, I called it
Like I saw it.
426
00:14:09,049 --> 00:14:11,118
Well, now you're
Going to apologize.
427
00:14:11,184 --> 00:14:13,320
I can't.
428
00:14:13,386 --> 00:14:14,621
You can.
429
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:15,755
I won't.
430
00:14:15,822 --> 00:14:18,391
You will.
431
00:14:20,961 --> 00:14:22,562
Is that an order?
432
00:14:22,629 --> 00:14:25,065
You're doing
Great work, deb.
433
00:14:25,132 --> 00:14:26,633
The president's nuts
About you;
434
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,168
Always has been.
435
00:14:28,235 --> 00:14:31,371
He'll cry for three minutes
After he fires your ass
436
00:14:31,438 --> 00:14:33,974
And then he'll say,
"What's next?"
437
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:42,649
Leo, if I've got to
Go and ask wooden
For forgiveness
438
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:44,051
He's going to
Lord it over me
439
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:45,352
From now until
The end of time.
440
00:14:45,418 --> 00:14:47,887
It's the cost
Of doing business.
441
00:14:52,292 --> 00:14:55,929
Done.
442
00:14:55,996 --> 00:14:58,565
Deb, he's been trying
To provoke you for months.
443
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:02,635
When you give in to him,
You surrender the high ground.
444
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:06,173
How did it happen?
445
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:07,907
You forgot what
Your grandfather taught you.
446
00:15:07,975 --> 00:15:09,242
What was that?
447
00:15:09,309 --> 00:15:12,379
"Never argue with a drunk
Or a fool."
448
00:15:12,445 --> 00:15:14,481
Is the president very angry
With me?
449
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:17,417
Mostly he's upset
That you couldn't come up
450
00:15:17,484 --> 00:15:21,754
With anything better than
"If the shoe fits."
451
00:15:21,821 --> 00:15:22,822
Good luck.
452
00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:24,524
Thank you.
453
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:26,459
Josh:
So, that should have been it,
Right?
454
00:15:26,526 --> 00:15:29,062
C.J. Cregg does
The 2:00 briefing.
455
00:15:29,129 --> 00:15:30,830
Tells them secretary o'leary has
456
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:32,399
An apology
For congressman wooden
457
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:34,934
All questions on the matter
Will be handled
458
00:15:35,002 --> 00:15:36,903
By her spokesperson,
Donald morales
459
00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:39,139
And redirects their attention
460
00:15:39,206 --> 00:15:41,641
To the 700 million
Bucks of yours
461
00:15:41,708 --> 00:15:43,977
That we just spent
On teachers.
462
00:15:44,044 --> 00:15:47,047
Who here has had
Emergency root canal?
463
00:15:47,114 --> 00:15:48,215
Josh:
Yeah?
464
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:52,652
( muffled ):
Josh.
465
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:54,087
What the hell happened?
466
00:15:54,154 --> 00:15:56,023
I had root canal.
467
00:15:56,089 --> 00:15:57,590
What happened to your cheeks?
468
00:15:57,657 --> 00:16:00,393
I had root canal.
469
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:01,894
Why are you talking like that?
470
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:02,929
I had root canal!
471
00:16:02,996 --> 00:16:04,297
Yeah, I heard you
472
00:16:04,364 --> 00:16:06,399
The first time.
I was just amusing myself.
473
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,535
I can suggest other things
You can do with yourself.
474
00:16:08,601 --> 00:16:09,769
Are you in pain?
475
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:13,106
I had root canal!
476
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:14,607
You're going to need
To stop saying that
477
00:16:14,674 --> 00:16:16,743
'cause you just look
And sound so ridiculous.
478
00:16:16,809 --> 00:16:18,011
I have to cancel
The briefing.
479
00:16:18,078 --> 00:16:19,312
You can't cancel
The briefing.
480
00:16:19,379 --> 00:16:20,113
Look at me!
481
00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:21,114
You'll be great.
482
00:16:21,181 --> 00:16:22,382
I can't do the briefing.
483
00:16:22,449 --> 00:16:23,350
Why not?
484
00:16:23,416 --> 00:16:24,851
I can't even say "Briefing."
485
00:16:24,917 --> 00:16:26,319
You can't cancel.
486
00:16:26,386 --> 00:16:27,720
You got to wrap
Up o'leary and
Move him back
487
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:29,256
To the bill
Signing.
Joshua!
488
00:16:29,322 --> 00:16:31,424
I'm sorry. Did you
Just say my name?
489
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:33,060
You really think I can do it?
490
00:16:33,126 --> 00:16:34,227
Don't be insane, c.J.
491
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:35,795
You're not going
To a briefing
492
00:16:35,862 --> 00:16:36,929
Looking like bullwinkle.
493
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,065
Oh, so, once again
494
00:16:38,131 --> 00:16:39,632
You were just having
A little fun.
495
00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:40,833
Yeah.
Ha-ha-ha-ha.
496
00:16:40,900 --> 00:16:42,001
When can you take
The cotton out?
497
00:16:42,069 --> 00:16:43,303
Two hours.
498
00:16:43,370 --> 00:16:45,038
I'll have carol
Cancel the briefing.
499
00:16:45,105 --> 00:16:46,473
No, we're
Still doing it.
500
00:16:46,539 --> 00:16:47,474
Me.
Who?
501
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,275
No way.
502
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:50,610
C.J....
You get hostile.
503
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:52,912
I "Get hot stuff"?
504
00:16:52,979 --> 00:16:55,915
Hostile. Hostile.
You get hostile!
505
00:16:55,982 --> 00:16:57,050
Don't get hostile.
506
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:58,618
I don't get
Randomly hostile.
507
00:16:58,685 --> 00:17:00,920
I get hostile when
Hostility is called for.
508
00:17:00,987 --> 00:17:02,722
What's sam doing?
509
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,023
Sam went to foggy bottom.
510
00:17:04,091 --> 00:17:05,992
What's he doing in foggy bottom?
511
00:17:06,059 --> 00:17:07,427
I'm sorry.
I just wanted to see
512
00:17:07,494 --> 00:17:09,229
If I could make you
Say "Foggy bottom."
513
00:17:09,296 --> 00:17:11,198
Sam's working with
The speech writers.
514
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:12,832
Toby?
Toby's with leo
And the president.
515
00:17:12,899 --> 00:17:14,801
Josh...
516
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:15,935
Hey, there,
Cats and kittens
517
00:17:16,002 --> 00:17:17,670
This is josh lyman
Coming at you
518
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:18,505
With the 2:00 briefing.
519
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:20,073
Josh, please,
Be very careful.
520
00:17:20,140 --> 00:17:22,909
Try very, very hard
Not to destroy us.
521
00:17:22,975 --> 00:17:25,278
You shouldn't say that, c.J.
522
00:17:25,345 --> 00:17:26,813
You got a great body.
523
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:28,014
Here we go. Whoo!
524
00:17:28,081 --> 00:17:30,049
Woman:
Please take your seats.
525
00:17:30,117 --> 00:17:31,751
We'll start the briefing.
526
00:17:31,818 --> 00:17:32,819
Please take your seats.
527
00:17:32,885 --> 00:17:33,920
Josh.
Hey, danny.
528
00:17:33,986 --> 00:17:35,588
You're not going
To do this.
529
00:17:35,655 --> 00:17:36,456
Do the briefing?
530
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:38,125
You're not going
To do this.
531
00:17:38,191 --> 00:17:39,926
I talk to reporters
All the time.
532
00:17:39,992 --> 00:17:41,228
You really don't
Want to do this.
533
00:17:41,294 --> 00:17:45,332
Let me tell you something,
Mi compadre.
534
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:48,268
You guys have
Been coddled.
535
00:17:48,335 --> 00:17:51,104
I'm not your girlfriend,
I'm not your camp counselor
536
00:17:51,171 --> 00:17:52,805
And I'm not
Your sixth-grade teacher
537
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,040
You had a crush on.
538
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:56,042
I'm a graduate
Of harvard and yale
539
00:17:56,109 --> 00:17:58,545
And I believe that
My powers of debate
540
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,148
Can rise to meet
The socratic wonder
541
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:03,416
That is the white house
Press corps.
542
00:18:06,219 --> 00:18:08,188
Okey-dokey.
543
00:18:08,255 --> 00:18:10,089
Josh:
Good afternoon, everybody.
544
00:18:10,157 --> 00:18:11,258
Would you take your seats?
545
00:18:11,324 --> 00:18:12,725
C.J. Had a dental emergency
546
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:14,527
So I'll handle the briefing
Today.
547
00:18:14,594 --> 00:18:17,063
I'd like to say a couple things
In my own defense.
548
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:18,565
First of all,
Everything was fine.
549
00:18:18,631 --> 00:18:20,400
I dispensed
Of the deborah o'leary matter
550
00:18:20,467 --> 00:18:21,634
With ease and poise.
551
00:18:21,701 --> 00:18:23,770
I opened the room up
To questions
552
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:25,438
While imposing a discipline
553
00:18:25,505 --> 00:18:28,107
I felt had been lacking
In c.J.'s briefings.
554
00:18:28,175 --> 00:18:30,743
I'm going to take
One question apiece.
555
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:31,744
Josh.
Mike.
556
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:32,912
When was the last time
557
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:34,581
The president
Had a cigarette?
558
00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:38,951
Mike, you sure you want your
One question to be that stupid?
559
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:40,987
Woman:
It's not a stupid question,
Josh.
560
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:42,322
Oh, my god.
561
00:18:42,389 --> 00:18:44,524
If the president's going
To continue
562
00:18:44,591 --> 00:18:47,294
To be so adamantly anti-tobacco,
Why is it unreasonable to ask
563
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:48,595
If he's a smoker?
564
00:18:48,661 --> 00:18:50,363
The president quit smoking
Years ago.
565
00:18:50,430 --> 00:18:51,964
He bummed a cigarette
From me
566
00:18:52,031 --> 00:18:54,201
On air force one two days ago.
567
00:18:54,267 --> 00:18:56,035
Oh, my god.
568
00:18:56,102 --> 00:18:59,005
Well, then, uh...
569
00:18:59,071 --> 00:19:00,507
Jonathan?
570
00:19:00,573 --> 00:19:03,075
So, you're not going
To answer katie's question?
571
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:04,444
I'll look into it.
572
00:19:04,511 --> 00:19:05,245
Danny?
573
00:19:05,312 --> 00:19:07,414
Josh, economists
Worry that
574
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,782
A continuing drop
In unemployment will create
575
00:19:09,849 --> 00:19:12,752
Increased pressure on wages,
In effect, driving them up.
576
00:19:12,819 --> 00:19:15,121
Is the president worried
That this could lead
577
00:19:15,188 --> 00:19:16,723
To a resurgence of inflation?
578
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:19,426
Let me emphasize
The president is pleased
579
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:22,762
That unemployment has dropped
Another .5% as a result...
580
00:19:22,829 --> 00:19:25,532
I'm sure we all join
The president in his joy
581
00:19:25,598 --> 00:19:27,234
But I'm wondering
If the president has a plan
582
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:28,735
To fight
The resulting inflation.
583
00:19:28,801 --> 00:19:31,671
The president will do everything
In his power to maintain
584
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:34,607
The robust economy that has
Created millions of new jobs
585
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:37,244
Improved productivity
And kept a lid on inflation.
586
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:38,545
But he has no plan
587
00:19:38,611 --> 00:19:40,780
To address inflation
Specifically?
588
00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:44,417
24 ph.Ds on the council
Of economic advisors, katie.
589
00:19:44,484 --> 00:19:46,986
They have a plan
To fight inflation.
590
00:19:47,053 --> 00:19:49,956
Is the reason you won't tell us
About it that it's a secret?
591
00:19:50,022 --> 00:19:52,525
Yeah, danny, we have
A secret inflation plan.
592
00:19:52,592 --> 00:19:53,860
Reporters:
Josh! Josh!
593
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:55,295
Oh, my god.
594
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,264
Josh:
I guess that's pretty much
595
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:59,332
When the wheels came off
The wagon.
596
00:19:59,399 --> 00:20:02,469
Josh, right here's a good time
To take our break.
597
00:20:02,535 --> 00:20:06,539
Everybody, let's stretch
Our legs for five minutes.
598
00:20:06,606 --> 00:20:09,642
Sign-up sheets
For 202 are
In the lobby.
599
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:12,412
If you smoke, apparently,
You can bum a cigarette
600
00:20:12,479 --> 00:20:13,846
On air force one.
601
00:20:13,913 --> 00:20:16,583
Let's have a hand for
Our guest, joshua lyman.
602
00:20:27,860 --> 00:20:29,662
You're great.
603
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:30,830
Thanks.
604
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:35,602
( phone rings )
605
00:20:35,668 --> 00:20:36,703
Yeah?
606
00:20:36,769 --> 00:20:38,271
What's going on?
607
00:20:38,338 --> 00:20:41,274
Sam feels we're
Zeroing in on it.
608
00:20:41,341 --> 00:20:42,275
You haven't found it yet?
609
00:20:42,342 --> 00:20:43,543
We've been navigating
610
00:20:43,610 --> 00:20:45,612
By the north star,
Which turned out to be
611
00:20:45,678 --> 00:20:47,647
The delta shuttle
From la guardia.
612
00:20:47,714 --> 00:20:50,082
It's a miracle we're
Not in nantucket right now.
613
00:20:50,149 --> 00:20:51,484
Toby, how hard can it be
614
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:53,252
To find
The wesley police station?
615
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,654
I don't know, josh
616
00:20:54,721 --> 00:20:56,689
But while we're looking,
Can you tell me more
617
00:20:56,756 --> 00:20:58,825
About the president's secret
Plan to fight inflation?
618
00:20:58,891 --> 00:21:00,960
How long before you let up
On me on that?
619
00:21:01,027 --> 00:21:03,996
Oh, it's going to take
A little while, I would think.
620
00:21:04,063 --> 00:21:05,532
Call me when you know something.
621
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,434
There's a store
Open up there.
622
00:21:07,500 --> 00:21:08,468
I'm going to pull over
623
00:21:08,535 --> 00:21:09,802
And ask if
They know where
624
00:21:09,869 --> 00:21:10,603
The police station is.
625
00:21:10,670 --> 00:21:12,339
Or you can just pull in there
626
00:21:12,405 --> 00:21:14,341
At the police wesley police
Station and ask them.
627
00:21:14,407 --> 00:21:15,342
Hey! Look!
628
00:21:15,408 --> 00:21:16,343
Yeah, yeah.
629
00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:17,644
We found it.
630
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:19,879
Let's get this done
And get out of here.
631
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:35,027
My name is sam seaborn.
632
00:21:35,094 --> 00:21:37,564
I work for the president
Of the united states.
633
00:21:37,630 --> 00:21:39,165
Is your watch commander
Around?
634
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:40,199
Is this a joke?
635
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:41,868
No.
636
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:43,770
You walk in here, you tell me
You work for the president?
637
00:21:43,836 --> 00:21:45,538
Officer peter, we're
In a certain amount
Of trouble tonight
638
00:21:45,605 --> 00:21:47,407
And the only thing
I've got going for me
639
00:21:47,474 --> 00:21:48,875
Is that you're in
More trouble than we are.
640
00:21:48,941 --> 00:21:50,810
My name is sam seaborn;
I work for the president.
641
00:21:50,877 --> 00:21:52,645
And the sooner
You reach the conclusion
642
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:53,880
That I'm telling you truth
643
00:21:53,946 --> 00:21:55,615
The better off
We're all going to be.
644
00:21:55,682 --> 00:21:58,518
Why don't you go
Get your watch commander.
645
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:07,259
Let me tell you
Something.
646
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,295
If we had stayed
On the merrit parkway
647
00:22:09,362 --> 00:22:10,963
Instead of getting
Off on exit 29
648
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:12,632
And going east
To greenwich
649
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:15,568
I don't think we'd
Wind up in bridgeport
So many times.
650
00:22:16,102 --> 00:22:17,470
Shut up.
651
00:22:17,537 --> 00:22:20,239
I'm sergeant mcnamara.
Can I help you folks?
652
00:22:20,306 --> 00:22:21,608
Sergeant, I'm sam seaborn
653
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:23,610
The deputy white house
Communications director.
654
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:25,512
That's my boss,
Toby ziegler.
655
00:22:25,578 --> 00:22:27,814
I'm not really in the mood
For a joke right now.
656
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,948
I know how you feel.
657
00:22:29,015 --> 00:22:30,917
You have roberto mendoza
Locked up back there.
658
00:22:30,983 --> 00:22:32,452
Sir, please state
Your business here
659
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:35,522
Or I'm going to have
To ask you to leave.
660
00:22:35,588 --> 00:22:36,823
My business is to tell you
661
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:38,791
To unlock the cell
And give me mendoza.
662
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:41,360
Sergeant...
You come in here,
10:00 at night
663
00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:43,229
You tell me you're
With the white house
664
00:22:43,295 --> 00:22:44,731
And I'm supposed to just...
665
00:22:44,797 --> 00:22:46,633
Sergeant.
666
00:22:49,836 --> 00:22:51,838
Sergeant, you've arrested
A federal judge
667
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:55,107
Who's the president's nominee
For the u.S. Supreme court.
668
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:57,577
( phone ringing )
669
00:22:57,644 --> 00:22:59,078
You should get that.
670
00:22:59,145 --> 00:23:01,848
That's going to be
The governor of connecticut.
671
00:23:04,784 --> 00:23:07,820
Danny concanon had thrown me
A knuckleball in the dirt
672
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:10,056
Which then I had taken
A big swing at
673
00:23:10,122 --> 00:23:13,259
And, just like that,
The president had a secret plan
674
00:23:13,325 --> 00:23:14,594
To fight inflation.
675
00:23:14,661 --> 00:23:16,596
Josh?
Josh?
Josh?
676
00:23:16,663 --> 00:23:19,331
When will the president unveil
His secret plan?
677
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,333
There is no secret plan.
678
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,936
I was talking to danny;
I was kidding.
679
00:23:24,003 --> 00:23:26,439
These are people's jobs
We're talking about, josh.
680
00:23:26,506 --> 00:23:28,074
You want to give us
A straight answer?
681
00:23:30,009 --> 00:23:32,344
I-I honestly can't remember
The question.
682
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,314
Reporter:
Given the reduction
In unemployment
683
00:23:35,381 --> 00:23:37,316
Does the president have a plan
To fight
684
00:23:37,383 --> 00:23:38,718
The ensuing inflation?
685
00:23:38,785 --> 00:23:40,653
And if so,
Why is he keeping it a secret?
686
00:23:49,496 --> 00:23:50,963
Oh, my god, josh!
687
00:23:51,030 --> 00:23:52,064
I mean, oh, my god.
688
00:23:52,131 --> 00:23:53,533
I can fix this.
How?
689
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,267
I can fix this.
I don't think you can.
690
00:23:55,334 --> 00:23:56,603
This would be a
Great time to feel
691
00:23:56,669 --> 00:23:58,104
A little support
From you, donna.
692
00:23:58,170 --> 00:23:59,438
You have my support, josh.
693
00:23:59,506 --> 00:24:00,439
Do I?
Yes.
694
00:24:00,507 --> 00:24:01,774
Good. That's a start.
695
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:03,843
Tell me what you think
I should do right now.
696
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:06,312
Come up with a secret plan
To fight inflation.
697
00:24:06,378 --> 00:24:07,346
That's support?!
698
00:24:07,413 --> 00:24:08,748
Joshua!
699
00:24:08,815 --> 00:24:10,983
Yeah, that's the face
I wanted to see right now.
700
00:24:11,050 --> 00:24:12,785
What the hell happened
In there?!
701
00:24:12,852 --> 00:24:13,920
C.J...
702
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:16,055
( muffled ):
You completely impwoded!
703
00:24:16,122 --> 00:24:17,056
What did I do?
704
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:18,190
You completely
Imploded.
705
00:24:18,257 --> 00:24:19,425
I wouldn't say completely.
706
00:24:19,492 --> 00:24:20,993
You were vague.
You were hostile.
707
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:22,328
You were bewigerent.
708
00:24:22,394 --> 00:24:23,530
Donna:
Belligerent.
709
00:24:23,596 --> 00:24:25,264
You want to know
What it's going
710
00:24:25,331 --> 00:24:26,766
To take for me
To fix this?
711
00:24:26,833 --> 00:24:28,701
I'm going to fix this.
No, you're not.
712
00:24:28,768 --> 00:24:30,870
You are not ever allowed
In my presswoom again.
713
00:24:30,937 --> 00:24:33,573
Donna, call toby's office
And see if he was watching.
714
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,274
Toby: where the
Hell is he?!
Never mind.
715
00:24:35,341 --> 00:24:36,442
Support me on this.
716
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:37,977
No.
Thanks.
717
00:24:38,044 --> 00:24:39,746
Have you fallen
On your head?
Toby... Listen--
718
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:41,514
Have you hit your head
On something hard?
719
00:24:41,581 --> 00:24:42,649
I feel really bad about this.
720
00:24:42,715 --> 00:24:44,250
You do?
Yes.
721
00:24:44,316 --> 00:24:46,586
Oh. Well, then I guess
That's all that really matters.
722
00:24:46,653 --> 00:24:48,555
That was some very good
Television, josh
723
00:24:48,621 --> 00:24:50,256
And I think
Four network news directors
724
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:51,490
Will bear me out
On that tonight.
725
00:24:51,558 --> 00:24:53,359
I really think this isn't as bad
726
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:54,761
As you're making it out to be.
727
00:24:54,827 --> 00:24:56,829
A secwet plan to
Fight inflation?!
728
00:24:56,896 --> 00:25:00,332
C.J., for a while, you're going
To have to write it down.
729
00:25:00,399 --> 00:25:01,868
We have a problem.
730
00:25:01,934 --> 00:25:02,869
No kidding.
731
00:25:02,935 --> 00:25:03,670
It's not josh.
732
00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:04,671
Praise god.
733
00:25:04,737 --> 00:25:06,105
Although,
I got to say
734
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:07,807
Telling a reporter
His question is stupid
735
00:25:07,874 --> 00:25:09,876
Is not like a page
Out of dale carnegie.
736
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:10,977
Thank you.
737
00:25:11,043 --> 00:25:12,311
What's the problem?
738
00:25:12,378 --> 00:25:13,880
You're not going
To like it.
739
00:25:13,946 --> 00:25:15,815
The only thing that could make
My day worse is if
740
00:25:15,882 --> 00:25:17,917
Roberto mendoza
Got involved.
741
00:25:17,984 --> 00:25:19,786
Josh:
Roberto mendoza is
The president's nominee
742
00:25:19,852 --> 00:25:22,789
To fill crouch's seat
On the supreme court.
743
00:25:22,855 --> 00:25:27,259
The president put toby ziegler
In charge of his confirmation
744
00:25:27,326 --> 00:25:29,095
Which is a huge responsibility.
745
00:25:29,161 --> 00:25:31,731
A failed confirmation
For the court
746
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:34,066
Is a body blow to a presidency.
747
00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:36,068
Besides which,
He's a brilliant jurist
748
00:25:36,135 --> 00:25:37,970
And we badly want him
On the bench.
749
00:25:38,037 --> 00:25:43,375
The confirmation process
Is a tough needle to thread.
750
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:45,277
You got to make a lot of friends
751
00:25:45,344 --> 00:25:49,015
And supreme court nominees don't
Speak before their confirmation.
752
00:25:49,081 --> 00:25:51,350
They let the white house
Speak for them.
753
00:25:51,417 --> 00:25:53,920
Something toby's had a little
Bit of trouble
754
00:25:53,986 --> 00:25:55,421
Teaching roberto mendoza.
755
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:57,423
He said the president was wrong?
756
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:58,858
He said
The pwesident
Was wrong
757
00:25:58,925 --> 00:26:00,760
To make secretary
O'weary apolo...
758
00:26:00,827 --> 00:26:02,428
What the hell is...
759
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:03,763
C.J. Sam,
Tell him.
760
00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:05,564
He said
The president
Was wrong
761
00:26:05,632 --> 00:26:07,366
To make secretary
O'leary apologize.
762
00:26:07,433 --> 00:26:08,367
To who?
763
00:26:08,434 --> 00:26:09,669
To wooden.
764
00:26:09,736 --> 00:26:11,070
I'm saying whom
Did he say it to?
765
00:26:11,137 --> 00:26:12,471
Chicago tribune.
766
00:26:12,538 --> 00:26:14,073
I thought he's on vacation
In nova scotia.
767
00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:15,608
He is.
768
00:26:15,675 --> 00:26:17,476
What, they called him
In nova scotia?
769
00:26:17,543 --> 00:26:18,945
Yeah.
770
00:26:19,011 --> 00:26:21,313
How the hell did they
Find him in nova scotia?
771
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:24,383
They have telephones
In nova scotia, leo.
772
00:26:24,450 --> 00:26:26,886
It's not amish country.
773
00:26:26,953 --> 00:26:29,455
I really think of all the people
In this building, josh
774
00:26:29,521 --> 00:26:31,991
You want to be the last person
To speak right now.
775
00:26:32,058 --> 00:26:33,960
You bet.
776
00:26:36,763 --> 00:26:38,765
The pwesident needs
To be bwiefed
777
00:26:38,831 --> 00:26:40,432
On the events of the day.
778
00:26:40,499 --> 00:26:43,202
C.J., so help me, if you use
Words the "Pwesident"
779
00:26:43,269 --> 00:26:44,536
Or "Bwiefed" again...
780
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,206
The president lands in
New orleans in an hour and half.
781
00:26:47,273 --> 00:26:49,308
There'll be no press
At the labor conference.
782
00:26:49,375 --> 00:26:50,609
When he's done
783
00:26:50,677 --> 00:26:52,044
He's getting right
Back on the plane
784
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,445
And coming home.
785
00:26:53,512 --> 00:26:55,848
Wheels down at 3:00 a.M.
He'll be in residence by 3:30.
786
00:26:55,915 --> 00:26:57,216
Can I say something?
787
00:26:59,485 --> 00:27:00,753
What?
788
00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:02,488
A lot of this
Is our fault
789
00:27:02,554 --> 00:27:04,323
And the president
Probably isn't
790
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:05,692
Going to take
This very well
791
00:27:05,758 --> 00:27:07,293
And we just want
You to know
792
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,629
That we will be there
With in you spirit
Tomorrow morning.
793
00:27:10,697 --> 00:27:14,533
You're going to be there with me
In every way imaginable, josh.
794
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,202
You bet.
795
00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:17,536
7:00 a.M.
796
00:27:17,603 --> 00:27:19,105
Josh:
If you read the papers
797
00:27:19,171 --> 00:27:21,307
You know that this is
Not the first time
798
00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:22,842
This had happened.
799
00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:26,445
In the eight weeks since
The president named his nominee
800
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:30,416
Judge mendoza has on various
Occasions publicly criticized
801
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,952
The american bar association,
The a.F.L.-c.I.O
802
00:27:33,019 --> 00:27:34,854
And the new york
State legislature--
803
00:27:34,921 --> 00:27:36,756
Three organizations,
Without which
804
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:39,191
This president would not have
Been elected.
805
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:42,328
Putting out the debra o'leary
Fire from earlier in the day
806
00:27:42,394 --> 00:27:45,431
Had been then the only thing
We've been successful at
807
00:27:45,497 --> 00:27:46,799
And now judge mendoza had...
808
00:27:46,866 --> 00:27:49,201
( phone ringing )
Started up again.
809
00:27:49,268 --> 00:27:52,504
I-I'm really very sorry,
But I have to take this.
810
00:27:52,571 --> 00:27:53,806
Yeah.
811
00:27:53,873 --> 00:27:55,141
Sam:
Josh.
812
00:27:55,207 --> 00:27:56,142
Yeah.
813
00:27:56,208 --> 00:27:57,143
We're in.
814
00:27:57,209 --> 00:27:58,344
Where is he?
815
00:27:58,410 --> 00:27:59,779
Toby's talking to him now.
816
00:28:04,683 --> 00:28:06,418
Hello, mr. Justice.
817
00:28:09,155 --> 00:28:10,289
How are you?
818
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:14,526
Incarcerated, toby.
819
00:28:14,593 --> 00:28:15,895
How are you?
820
00:28:15,962 --> 00:28:17,596
Do you need anything,
Mr. Ziegler?
821
00:28:17,663 --> 00:28:19,131
No.
822
00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:21,467
The judge and I
Are going to have a chat.
823
00:28:29,809 --> 00:28:31,243
Is the president.
824
00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:34,080
The second hardest job
Is not chief of staff
825
00:28:34,146 --> 00:28:35,882
It's not national
Security advisor
826
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:37,449
And it's not press secretary
827
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:39,819
Although I'm gaining
A certain amount of respect
828
00:28:39,886 --> 00:28:41,253
For press secretaries.
829
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,589
The second hardest job
In the white house
830
00:28:43,655 --> 00:28:46,959
Belongs to a 21-year-old kid
Named charlie young.
831
00:28:47,026 --> 00:28:49,695
He's what's called
The president's "Body man"
832
00:28:49,762 --> 00:28:51,097
His personal aide.
833
00:28:51,163 --> 00:28:53,365
He's with the president
Morning to night.
834
00:28:53,432 --> 00:28:55,634
He has a range
Of responsibilities
835
00:28:55,701 --> 00:28:56,936
All of them difficult
836
00:28:57,003 --> 00:28:59,005
But the one
He hates most is this:
837
00:28:59,071 --> 00:29:01,173
From time to time,
It is his job
838
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,843
To wake the president up
In the morning
839
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:05,711
And on this particular morning
840
00:29:05,778 --> 00:29:09,816
The president had gone to sleep
Only three hours earlier.
841
00:29:13,052 --> 00:29:16,188
Good morning, helen.
It's charlie.
842
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:17,924
The president did very well.
843
00:29:18,958 --> 00:29:20,492
Since when?
844
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:22,128
Good one, helen.
845
00:29:22,194 --> 00:29:24,196
It's time for the president's
Wake-up call.
846
00:29:26,665 --> 00:29:28,200
( phone ringing )
847
00:29:38,677 --> 00:29:40,079
What?
848
00:29:40,146 --> 00:29:41,848
Good morning, mr. President.
It's charlie.
849
00:29:41,914 --> 00:29:43,215
I hope...
850
00:29:43,282 --> 00:29:46,485
I mean, what could you
Possibly want right now?
851
00:29:46,552 --> 00:29:48,320
Sir, it's 6:30 a.M., and...
852
00:29:48,387 --> 00:29:49,588
In the morning?
853
00:29:49,655 --> 00:29:52,258
Yes, sir, and I wanted
To remind you that...
854
00:29:52,324 --> 00:29:55,594
What in the name
Of everything holy
855
00:29:55,661 --> 00:29:57,729
Could you want right now?
856
00:29:57,796 --> 00:30:00,366
I wanted to remind you that
You have a 7:00 a.M. Meeting
857
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:02,168
At the oval office
With senior staff
858
00:30:02,234 --> 00:30:04,570
Followed by your security
And intelligence briefings
859
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:06,438
And a meeting with the chairman
Of the fed.
860
00:30:06,505 --> 00:30:08,074
Would you like me
To have the stewards
861
00:30:08,140 --> 00:30:09,876
Bring some coffee
And the washington post?
862
00:30:09,942 --> 00:30:11,643
Who the hell is this?
863
00:30:11,710 --> 00:30:13,079
Sir...
864
00:30:13,145 --> 00:30:15,547
And what could you
Possibly want?
865
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:19,451
Sir, I need you to dig in now.
866
00:30:19,518 --> 00:30:20,752
It wasn't a nightmare.
867
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,488
You really are the president.
868
00:30:22,554 --> 00:30:23,555
All right.
869
00:30:23,622 --> 00:30:24,556
I'll have the steward
870
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:25,824
Bring coffee to your room.
871
00:30:25,892 --> 00:30:28,294
I'll get up now.
872
00:30:32,131 --> 00:30:34,133
Mendoza was summoned
To the white house
873
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,902
From his vacation
In nova scotia.
874
00:30:35,968 --> 00:30:38,137
When you summon someone
To the white house
875
00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:40,772
You generally expect to see them
Within the hour.
876
00:30:40,839 --> 00:30:43,876
Judge mendoza told us that
He would see us in three days.
877
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:45,111
Why three days?
878
00:30:45,177 --> 00:30:47,313
Because he was driving
Down to d.C.
879
00:30:47,379 --> 00:30:50,182
Stopping in connecticut
To do some antiquing.
880
00:30:50,249 --> 00:30:52,384
Yet another thing
We'd have to tell the president
881
00:30:52,451 --> 00:30:54,553
Who, by the way,
Had still not woken up.
882
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:55,621
Charlie...
883
00:30:55,687 --> 00:30:57,023
Oh, come on.
884
00:30:57,089 --> 00:30:58,490
I've been knocking
Every few minutes or so
885
00:30:58,557 --> 00:31:00,426
And I don't
Hear the shower
Running, either.
886
00:31:00,492 --> 00:31:02,328
Thanks, billy.
Give me a minute,
Would you?
887
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:03,595
You bet.
888
00:31:19,678 --> 00:31:21,380
Mr. President?
889
00:31:23,682 --> 00:31:25,017
Mr. President.
890
00:31:26,385 --> 00:31:27,553
Mr. President.
891
00:31:28,921 --> 00:31:30,189
Charlie, are you aware
892
00:31:30,256 --> 00:31:32,758
You're committing
A federal crime right now?
893
00:31:32,824 --> 00:31:35,294
I'll take my chances
With the feds, mr. President.
894
00:31:35,361 --> 00:31:36,328
It's 7:00.
895
00:31:36,395 --> 00:31:38,064
How did you know the first lady
896
00:31:38,130 --> 00:31:40,032
Wasn't going to be naked
When you came in here?
897
00:31:40,099 --> 00:31:41,833
Come to think of it,
Where the hell is my wife?
898
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,602
Argentina.
899
00:31:45,037 --> 00:31:46,472
That's right.
900
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:48,707
Senior staff in
The oval office, sir
901
00:31:48,774 --> 00:31:50,509
So I'm going
To stand here
902
00:31:50,576 --> 00:31:51,810
Till you get
Out of bed
903
00:31:51,877 --> 00:31:53,679
Take a shower
And get dressed.
904
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:55,982
All right.
905
00:32:02,021 --> 00:32:03,189
( sighing )
906
00:32:03,255 --> 00:32:04,823
Have you slept yet?
907
00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:06,192
No, sir.
908
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:07,960
Good.
909
00:32:23,109 --> 00:32:25,877
How's your mouth?
910
00:32:25,944 --> 00:32:27,213
Well...
911
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:29,948
The swelling's
Gone down.
912
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:33,719
On the other hand,
The painkillers
Have worn off.
913
00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:37,423
He's driving from nova scotia
To washington.
914
00:32:37,489 --> 00:32:38,790
Yeah.
915
00:32:38,857 --> 00:32:40,659
How's a person
Do that?
916
00:32:40,726 --> 00:32:43,762
My guess is, he'll take
The trans-canada highway
To new brunswick
917
00:32:43,829 --> 00:32:46,198
Then maybe catch the one
And take the scenic route
918
00:32:46,265 --> 00:32:47,466
Along the coast
To maine.
919
00:32:47,533 --> 00:32:49,401
95 through new hampshire
To the mass pike
920
00:32:49,468 --> 00:32:50,469
And then cut over
921
00:32:50,536 --> 00:32:53,472
To the merrit parkway
Around milford.
922
00:32:53,539 --> 00:32:55,641
Something really
Kind of freakish
923
00:32:55,707 --> 00:32:57,309
About you,
You know that?
924
00:32:57,376 --> 00:32:59,178
Yeah.
925
00:32:59,245 --> 00:33:01,213
I'm tired, I'm cranky,
And my wife's in argentina.
926
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,648
Let's get this over with.
927
00:33:19,431 --> 00:33:20,666
What?
928
00:33:20,732 --> 00:33:21,867
Mr. President
929
00:33:21,933 --> 00:33:25,471
We experienced
A few public relations...
930
00:33:25,537 --> 00:33:26,572
What's the word?
931
00:33:26,638 --> 00:33:28,140
Catastrophes.
932
00:33:28,207 --> 00:33:30,276
Incidents, in the few hours
You were away last night.
933
00:33:30,342 --> 00:33:32,344
What kind of incidents?
934
00:33:35,081 --> 00:33:37,083
Josh?
935
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:39,485
Yeah. Uh...
936
00:33:39,551 --> 00:33:42,254
First, I'm happy to tell you
That the incident
937
00:33:42,321 --> 00:33:45,191
Involving secretary o'leary
And congressman wooden
938
00:33:45,257 --> 00:33:46,825
Has been dispensed with...
939
00:33:46,892 --> 00:33:49,928
Though, not really,
And I'll get to that at the end.
940
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:51,430
Sam asked c.J.
941
00:33:51,497 --> 00:33:53,332
To move the briefing
To 2:00
942
00:33:53,399 --> 00:33:55,734
So that we could
Fold in the teachers.
943
00:33:55,801 --> 00:33:57,336
C.J. Had emergency
944
00:33:57,403 --> 00:33:59,971
Root canal surgery at noon
And so was unable to brief.
945
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:01,673
Who did?
946
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:02,908
I did.
947
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:05,177
Oh, god.
948
00:34:05,244 --> 00:34:06,745
Yeah. Uh, long story short--
949
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:08,847
You're going to be reading
A bit today
950
00:34:08,914 --> 00:34:11,183
About your secret plan
To fight inflation.
951
00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:13,985
I have a secret plan
To fight inflation?
952
00:34:14,052 --> 00:34:15,154
No.
953
00:34:15,221 --> 00:34:17,089
Why am I going to be
Reading that I do?
954
00:34:17,156 --> 00:34:20,426
It was suggested
In the pressroom that you did.
955
00:34:20,492 --> 00:34:21,627
By who?
956
00:34:21,693 --> 00:34:23,129
By me.
957
00:34:23,195 --> 00:34:24,496
You told the press
958
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:26,598
I have a secret plan
To fight inflation?
959
00:34:26,665 --> 00:34:27,866
No, I did not.
960
00:34:27,933 --> 00:34:30,369
Let me be absolutely clear,
I did not do that.
961
00:34:30,436 --> 00:34:33,172
Except, yes, I did that.
962
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,073
Josh, I'm a
Little confused.
963
00:34:35,141 --> 00:34:37,543
Sir, there was
This idiotic round robin.
964
00:34:37,609 --> 00:34:38,944
It was sarcastic.
965
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,447
There's no way
They didn't know that.
966
00:34:41,513 --> 00:34:43,715
They were just mad at me
For imposing discipline
967
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:44,916
And calling them stupid.
968
00:34:44,983 --> 00:34:47,085
Okay, before we go on
969
00:34:47,153 --> 00:34:49,921
C.J., if blood is gushing
970
00:34:49,988 --> 00:34:52,458
From the head wound
You just received
971
00:34:52,524 --> 00:34:55,761
From a stampeding herd of bison,
You'll do the press briefing.
972
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,296
Yes, sir.
973
00:34:57,363 --> 00:34:58,630
Josh:
Mr. President...
974
00:34:58,697 --> 00:35:01,066
A secret plan
To fight inflation?
975
00:35:01,133 --> 00:35:02,434
There was no turning them back.
976
00:35:02,501 --> 00:35:03,969
I denied it.
They wouldn't take no.
977
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:04,870
Were you clear?
978
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:05,904
I was crystal clear.
979
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:07,439
They said, "Do you think
980
00:35:07,506 --> 00:35:09,608
"If the president
Has a plan to fight inflation
981
00:35:09,675 --> 00:35:11,310
It's right
That he keep it a secret?"
982
00:35:11,377 --> 00:35:12,811
I said, "Of course not."
983
00:35:12,878 --> 00:35:14,513
Are you telling me
984
00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:18,150
That not only did you invent
A secret plan to fight inflation
985
00:35:18,217 --> 00:35:20,586
But now you don't
Support it?
986
00:35:22,588 --> 00:35:24,723
When you put it like that...
987
00:35:24,790 --> 00:35:25,791
Mr. President...
988
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:27,293
Much as we'd love
989
00:35:27,359 --> 00:35:30,061
Nothing more than to stand here
And watch you
990
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:32,097
Beat the living crap
Out of josh
991
00:35:32,164 --> 00:35:34,132
There's actually
A bigger fish to fry.
992
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,403
What did mendoza do?
993
00:35:37,469 --> 00:35:39,004
He told the chicago tribune
994
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:41,240
That you were wrong
To admonish debbie o'leary
995
00:35:41,307 --> 00:35:42,274
And make her apologize.
996
00:35:42,341 --> 00:35:43,542
I didn't. He did.
997
00:35:43,609 --> 00:35:44,343
You told me to.
998
00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:45,577
You said you'd fix it.
999
00:35:45,644 --> 00:35:46,512
I did fix it.
1000
00:35:46,578 --> 00:35:48,113
Well, it's broken again, leo.
1001
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:49,448
Frankly, sir
That's 'cause your nominee
1002
00:35:49,515 --> 00:35:51,183
For the supreme court's
Handling himself
1003
00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:53,319
In a manner
That's totally unprofessional.
1004
00:35:53,385 --> 00:35:54,986
We will have the first
Of what I think
1005
00:35:55,053 --> 00:35:56,755
Will be a series of discussion
1006
00:35:56,822 --> 00:35:59,157
About professionalism
Another time, toby.
1007
00:35:59,225 --> 00:36:00,259
Where is mendoza?
1008
00:36:00,326 --> 00:36:01,593
He's on his way,
Sir.
1009
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,028
Right now?
1010
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,930
But he won't be here
Until day after tomorrow.
1011
00:36:04,996 --> 00:36:06,332
Day after tomorrow?
Yes, sir.
1012
00:36:06,398 --> 00:36:08,500
Is he coming in from neptune?
1013
00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:10,269
He's vacationing
With his wife and son
1014
00:36:10,336 --> 00:36:12,338
And they'd prefer
To take a leisurely drive
1015
00:36:12,404 --> 00:36:13,939
Through eastern canada
And new england
1016
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:17,909
While stopping for antique
Shopping in connecticut.
1017
00:36:17,976 --> 00:36:19,110
I imagine he'll take
1018
00:36:19,177 --> 00:36:20,846
The trans-canada
Highway to 95...
1019
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:21,947
Sam.
1020
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:24,550
Okay, we will wait
For mendoza.
1021
00:36:24,616 --> 00:36:27,953
In the meantime, c.J., you will
Untangle the press corps.
1022
00:36:28,019 --> 00:36:29,688
Yes, sir.
1023
00:36:29,755 --> 00:36:31,890
And we will hope
That nothing happens today
1024
00:36:31,957 --> 00:36:33,525
To make this any worse.
1025
00:36:33,592 --> 00:36:36,662
Although I certainly
Wouldn't bet the house on it.
1026
00:36:36,728 --> 00:36:38,230
That is all.
1027
00:36:38,297 --> 00:36:39,798
Thank you, mr. President.
1028
00:36:47,873 --> 00:36:49,608
Sir, I want to tell you
That I'm sorry
1029
00:36:49,675 --> 00:36:51,510
And that this mess
Will be cleaned up
1030
00:36:51,577 --> 00:36:53,545
In an adult
And professional manner.
1031
00:36:53,612 --> 00:36:55,281
Good.
1032
00:36:56,982 --> 00:36:59,551
If anyone asks you,
You quit smoking years ago
1033
00:36:59,618 --> 00:37:02,187
And the cigarette you bummed
On air force one
1034
00:37:02,254 --> 00:37:03,622
Was for a friend.
1035
00:37:03,689 --> 00:37:04,656
Get out.
1036
00:37:04,723 --> 00:37:05,491
You bet.
1037
00:37:05,557 --> 00:37:06,625
And that was it.
1038
00:37:06,692 --> 00:37:08,794
What happened
To judge mendoza?
1039
00:37:08,860 --> 00:37:09,961
I'm sorry?
1040
00:37:10,028 --> 00:37:12,197
Did he ever get here
From nova scotia?
1041
00:37:12,264 --> 00:37:14,266
Actually, he's on his way
Right now.
1042
00:37:14,333 --> 00:37:16,335
He's spending the night
In connecticut
1043
00:37:16,402 --> 00:37:17,669
To do some antiquing.
1044
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,706
He's been in there
A little while now.
1045
00:37:20,772 --> 00:37:22,274
Yeah.
1046
00:37:25,277 --> 00:37:27,145
I'm the one that pulled him
Over, you know.
1047
00:37:27,212 --> 00:37:28,814
His driving was erratic.
1048
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,284
I'm still not entirely convinced
He hadn't been drinking.
1049
00:37:32,351 --> 00:37:33,985
Well, you have a problem there.
1050
00:37:34,052 --> 00:37:35,454
What's that?
1051
00:37:35,521 --> 00:37:37,689
Judge mendoza has chronic
Persistent hepatitis
1052
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:40,158
Which is a non-progressive form
Of liver inflammation.
1053
00:37:40,225 --> 00:37:41,393
If he'd had enough to drink
1054
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:43,028
To blow a .1
On the blood alcohol
1055
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:43,995
He'd be dead right now.
1056
00:37:44,062 --> 00:37:45,764
( slurping )
1057
00:37:45,831 --> 00:37:47,499
It's good coffee.
1058
00:37:50,469 --> 00:37:53,305
Why didn't you take
The breathalyzer?
1059
00:37:53,372 --> 00:37:55,574
Because I was driving
Within the speed limit.
1060
00:37:55,641 --> 00:37:57,576
I was driving
On the right side of the road.
1061
00:37:57,643 --> 00:37:59,445
I have valid tags
And registration
1062
00:37:59,511 --> 00:38:01,547
And as far as I know,
I don't have any warrants
1063
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,048
For my arrest in connecticut.
1064
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:04,282
Judge?
1065
00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:05,317
Absent.
1066
00:38:05,384 --> 00:38:07,085
Just cause, toby.
1067
00:38:07,152 --> 00:38:10,522
Breathalyzer's an illegal search
And a civil rights violation.
1068
00:38:10,589 --> 00:38:14,560
So you gave barney fife
A hard time to make a point.
1069
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:15,794
A point worth making.
1070
00:38:15,861 --> 00:38:16,962
Not now.
1071
00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:17,929
Yes, now. Right now.
1072
00:38:17,996 --> 00:38:19,264
One phone call, judge.
1073
00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:20,766
Toby, this has happened.
1074
00:38:20,832 --> 00:38:22,801
Tell them, "My name's
Roberto mendoza
1075
00:38:22,868 --> 00:38:25,203
And the president's
Named me to the bench."
1076
00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:26,638
They pulled me over
1077
00:38:26,705 --> 00:38:30,342
Because I look like my name
Is roberto mendoza
1078
00:38:30,409 --> 00:38:32,711
And I'm coming
To rob your house.
1079
00:38:37,082 --> 00:38:38,183
Let's go.
1080
00:38:38,249 --> 00:38:39,518
Where are
We going?
1081
00:38:39,585 --> 00:38:41,152
Home. Let's go home.
1082
00:38:41,219 --> 00:38:42,954
I'm not going
Anywhere.
1083
00:38:43,021 --> 00:38:44,155
Judge?
1084
00:38:44,222 --> 00:38:45,891
I'm under arrest, toby.
1085
00:38:45,957 --> 00:38:46,958
Not anymore. Let's go.
1086
00:38:47,025 --> 00:38:48,394
You pull all
The strings
1087
00:38:48,460 --> 00:38:49,495
You want, toby
1088
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:50,896
But not for me.
1089
00:38:50,962 --> 00:38:54,099
Come monday,
I'm going to avail myself
1090
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:56,502
Of the criminal justice system
1091
00:38:56,568 --> 00:38:58,804
For which I have worked
My entire adult life.
1092
00:38:58,870 --> 00:39:02,007
Judge, due respect,
Get your things and let's go.
1093
00:39:02,073 --> 00:39:05,110
My kid was in that car.
1094
00:39:05,176 --> 00:39:07,078
They patted me down
1095
00:39:07,145 --> 00:39:08,380
And they handcuffed me
1096
00:39:08,447 --> 00:39:10,549
In front of my
Nine-year-old boy.
1097
00:39:10,616 --> 00:39:13,552
Then he and his mother
Got to see them put me
1098
00:39:13,619 --> 00:39:15,621
In a squad car
And drive away.
1099
00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:21,059
He's also seen you
Wearing a robe
1100
00:39:21,126 --> 00:39:22,661
With a gavel in your hand.
1101
00:39:22,728 --> 00:39:25,431
He does not
Understand that.
1102
00:39:25,497 --> 00:39:27,499
He doesn't know
What that is.
1103
00:39:27,566 --> 00:39:29,768
He understands what
The police are
1104
00:39:29,835 --> 00:39:31,703
Because he watches
Television.
1105
00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:34,272
That's what he's
Going to remember--
1106
00:39:34,339 --> 00:39:36,542
His father
Being handcuffed.
1107
00:39:36,608 --> 00:39:38,544
So america just got
1108
00:39:38,610 --> 00:39:41,613
Another pissed-off guy
With dark skin.
1109
00:39:46,184 --> 00:39:48,620
Robbie and laura,
Where are they right now?
1110
00:39:48,687 --> 00:39:51,623
Motel, a few miles.
1111
00:39:51,690 --> 00:39:54,926
There's nothing about this
That doesn't stink.
1112
00:39:54,993 --> 00:39:58,497
If it were me,
I'd want to extract vengeance
1113
00:39:58,564 --> 00:40:01,232
And I'd say,
"Let justice be done."
1114
00:40:01,299 --> 00:40:05,704
I'd also want to spend
Some time in a dark room alone
1115
00:40:05,771 --> 00:40:10,476
So that I didn't have
To face my wife and my son
1116
00:40:10,542 --> 00:40:13,612
And have them see
My humiliation.
1117
00:40:18,016 --> 00:40:21,052
Rob, I can't get this done
If this is the story.
1118
00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:22,988
Can't get it done.
1119
00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:27,793
Nothing about this
That doesn't stink.
1120
00:40:27,859 --> 00:40:30,962
Nothing about it
That wouldn't be better
1121
00:40:31,029 --> 00:40:33,865
If you were
A supreme court justice.
1122
00:40:36,267 --> 00:40:38,003
Let me take you to the motel.
1123
00:40:38,069 --> 00:40:40,739
Go see your boy.
1124
00:40:47,445 --> 00:40:50,181
So, can I ask
1125
00:40:50,248 --> 00:40:51,617
A guy in your job:
1126
00:40:51,683 --> 00:40:54,753
Do you know missile codes
And that sort of thing?
1127
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,223
Yeah.
1128
00:40:58,289 --> 00:40:59,825
Outstanding.
1129
00:41:04,395 --> 00:41:05,664
Good evening, mr. Justice.
1130
00:41:05,731 --> 00:41:08,166
Good evening, sam.
1131
00:41:08,233 --> 00:41:09,901
He's got personal items?
1132
00:41:09,968 --> 00:41:11,169
Yes, sir.
1133
00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:20,378
It's your lucky night,
Officers.
1134
00:41:20,445 --> 00:41:21,780
There isn't going
To be a report.
1135
00:41:21,847 --> 00:41:23,615
There isn't going
To be an investigation.
1136
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:25,050
No one's getting suspended.
1137
00:41:25,116 --> 00:41:26,552
And no one's filing
1138
00:41:26,618 --> 00:41:28,687
A hundred-million-dollar lawsuit
Against the county
1139
00:41:28,754 --> 00:41:30,388
That they would
Almost surely win.
1140
00:41:30,455 --> 00:41:33,725
But in this room, you're going
To apologize to mr. Mendoza.
1141
00:41:33,792 --> 00:41:36,294
And then you're going
To get in your squad car
1142
00:41:36,361 --> 00:41:37,696
You're going to follow us
1143
00:41:37,763 --> 00:41:39,731
And you're to apologize
To his son.
1144
00:41:41,099 --> 00:41:42,568
Judge mendoza...
1145
00:41:44,435 --> 00:41:48,239
We sincerely apologize
For our mistake.
1146
00:41:50,308 --> 00:41:51,843
Thank you.
1147
00:41:51,910 --> 00:41:52,944
Let's go.
1148
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,649
I also got to say
You guys could do a better job
1149
00:41:57,716 --> 00:42:00,185
Of marking the exits
On the throughway.
1150
00:42:00,251 --> 00:42:02,020
Let's go.
1151
00:42:02,087 --> 00:42:04,089
We'll be behind you.
1152
00:42:10,696 --> 00:42:12,631
You know, toby,
If there's no reason
1153
00:42:12,698 --> 00:42:14,465
For you guys
To go back to washington.
1154
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:16,134
You should spend
The night here.
1155
00:42:16,201 --> 00:42:17,168
What's up here?
1156
00:42:17,235 --> 00:42:19,504
Great antiquing.
1157
00:42:19,571 --> 00:42:20,972
Killing me, judge.
1158
00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:22,741
You're absolutely
Killing me.
1159
00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:25,476
Josh.
1160
00:42:25,543 --> 00:42:27,145
It's over.
1161
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:28,179
Yeah.
1162
00:42:28,246 --> 00:42:29,247
Good.
1163
00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:32,751
( sighing )
1164
00:42:32,818 --> 00:42:35,353
That's the last time
The phone will ring.
1165
00:42:35,420 --> 00:42:36,755
I promise.
1166
00:42:39,357 --> 00:42:40,826
Josh...
1167
00:42:40,892 --> 00:42:43,929
There's a part of the story
I didn't tell you.
1168
00:42:43,995 --> 00:42:45,030
( laughs )
1169
00:42:45,096 --> 00:42:46,364
I can't.
1170
00:42:46,431 --> 00:42:48,566
Trust me, it doesn't involve...
1171
00:42:48,634 --> 00:42:50,368
I-I just can't right now.
1172
00:42:50,435 --> 00:42:51,870
Ask me back again
1173
00:42:51,937 --> 00:42:53,772
After the senate
Confirms mendoza.
1174
00:42:53,839 --> 00:42:55,240
You really should hear it.
1175
00:42:55,306 --> 00:42:56,775
It's a good story.
1176
00:42:56,842 --> 00:42:59,144
Why don't we take
Some questions.
1177
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:00,946
Yeah.
