Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,136 --> 00:00:04,938
Previously on the west wing.
2
00:00:05,005 --> 00:00:07,508
I came here with someone.
3
00:00:07,575 --> 00:00:08,842
Al.
4
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:11,279
C.J.:
Have either of you
Heard anything
5
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:12,846
About a piece of paper
That's going around?
6
00:00:12,913 --> 00:00:14,848
I know everything
About it.
What do you mean?
7
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:15,983
I wrote it.
8
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:16,984
You know what it is?
9
00:00:17,051 --> 00:00:17,985
It's a strategy memo.
10
00:00:18,052 --> 00:00:18,986
To do what?
11
00:00:19,053 --> 00:00:19,953
Beat us in three years.
12
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:20,788
Who has it?
13
00:00:20,854 --> 00:00:22,190
I do.
14
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:25,626
I am a recovering alcoholic
And drug addict.
15
00:00:25,693 --> 00:00:27,995
Two seats opened up on the
Federal election commission?
16
00:00:28,062 --> 00:00:29,563
And the senate
Leadership will
Fill them.
17
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,732
What if this time we say
We want our guys?
18
00:00:31,799 --> 00:00:34,702
Embarrass us like this,
And we will give the same
Back to you tenfold.
19
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:43,311
President:
I get nervous around laws
That fundamentally assume
20
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:46,980
That americans can't be trusted.
21
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,849
We'd better have
Mandatory sentencing
22
00:00:48,916 --> 00:00:52,986
Because judges can't be trusted
To disperse evenhanded justice.
23
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:56,757
( applause )
24
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:58,492
We'd better have term limits
25
00:00:58,559 --> 00:01:02,530
'cause voters can't be trusted
To recognize corruption.
26
00:01:02,596 --> 00:01:05,599
Oh, and by the way--
I say, by the way
27
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:07,501
When the playing field
Is leveled
28
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:09,270
And the process is fair and open
29
00:01:09,337 --> 00:01:12,039
It turns out we have
Term limits.
30
00:01:12,106 --> 00:01:16,110
They're called elections.
31
00:01:16,177 --> 00:01:19,847
( cheering )
32
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,550
And I tell you...
I tell you I get nervous...
33
00:01:22,616 --> 00:01:24,318
The president ate
His wheaties this morning.
34
00:01:24,385 --> 00:01:25,586
As a matter of fact,
The president had
35
00:01:25,653 --> 00:01:27,355
A bowl of oatmeal
This morning.
36
00:01:27,421 --> 00:01:31,459
He said it was something
He's always wanted to try.
37
00:01:31,525 --> 00:01:32,793
Or we won't be able to prosper
In the new economic...
38
00:01:32,860 --> 00:01:34,628
Folks, listen up.
In a moment or two
39
00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:36,497
The president's going
To say something
40
00:01:36,564 --> 00:01:39,633
That's sure to get you all
Shouting my name at once.
41
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,936
There'll be a full briefing
Tonight at the white house.
42
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:46,940
C.J., look...
You don't want
To miss this.
43
00:01:47,007 --> 00:01:48,609
Excuse me.
What's going on?
44
00:01:48,676 --> 00:01:50,344
The president's throwing his cap
Over the wall.
45
00:01:50,411 --> 00:01:52,846
What does that mean?
You're about to find out.
46
00:01:52,913 --> 00:01:55,449
...And put american democracy
On the auction block.
47
00:01:55,516 --> 00:01:58,252
My father was very fond
Of the analogy
48
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,322
Of the irish lads
Whose journey was blocked
49
00:02:01,389 --> 00:02:03,757
By a brick wall,
Seemingly too high
50
00:02:03,824 --> 00:02:06,160
To scale.
51
00:02:06,227 --> 00:02:08,496
Throwing their caps
Over the wall
52
00:02:08,562 --> 00:02:10,631
The lads had no choice
But to follow.
53
00:02:10,698 --> 00:02:14,368
How many times in
The great history of our country
54
00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:15,836
Have we come to a wall
55
00:02:15,903 --> 00:02:17,571
Seemingly too high to scale
56
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:20,073
Only to throw our caps
To the other side?
57
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,009
This was given to me
By a constituent
58
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:23,677
Who read in time magazine
That I like cognac.
59
00:02:23,744 --> 00:02:28,115
The problem is
That this is brandy, not cognac.
60
00:02:28,182 --> 00:02:30,150
Anyone know the difference?
61
00:02:30,218 --> 00:02:31,685
Cognac is supposed
To come from the...
62
00:02:31,752 --> 00:02:34,955
Senator?
...Cognac region
Of france, that's right.
63
00:02:35,022 --> 00:02:37,591
Steve, sit down with us,
Would you?
64
00:02:37,658 --> 00:02:40,160
The man's not going to say
Anything of interest.
65
00:02:40,228 --> 00:02:41,429
I think he is.
66
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:42,730
What are you talking about?
67
00:02:42,796 --> 00:02:44,298
Listen.
68
00:02:44,365 --> 00:02:47,401
Tomorrow morning, we're going
To begin to change
69
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:50,571
The way elections are supervised
In this country.
70
00:02:50,638 --> 00:02:52,606
He's going to name
Two finance reformers
To the f.E.C.
71
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:54,242
What the hell
Are you talking about?
72
00:02:54,308 --> 00:02:57,044
Listen.
You said it wasn't
Going to happen.
73
00:02:57,110 --> 00:02:57,878
I was wrong.
74
00:02:57,945 --> 00:02:58,879
Wrong?
75
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:00,414
He's going
To name...
76
00:03:00,481 --> 00:03:01,549
Somebody?
John bacon.
77
00:03:01,615 --> 00:03:03,050
John bacon and
Patty calhoun.
78
00:03:03,116 --> 00:03:05,719
You told him they take on
Campaign finance reform
79
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:09,290
I roll out a legislative agenda
That will make his boss
80
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:10,324
Sit down and cry?
81
00:03:10,391 --> 00:03:12,326
I made it very clear.
82
00:03:12,393 --> 00:03:14,995
Tomorrow, I am proud
To nominate john branford bacon
83
00:03:15,062 --> 00:03:19,900
And patricia calhoun to
The federal election commission.
84
00:03:19,967 --> 00:03:21,302
Get him on the phone.
Who?
85
00:03:21,369 --> 00:03:23,737
Josh lyman.
Get him on the phone.
86
00:03:23,804 --> 00:03:25,839
I'm going to reach
Down his throat
87
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:29,277
And take out his lungs
With an ice-cream scoop.
88
00:03:29,343 --> 00:03:31,211
You're about
To get a call.
Yeah.
89
00:03:31,279 --> 00:03:33,013
Big call.
Yeah.
90
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,715
Powerful guy.
Yeah.
91
00:03:34,782 --> 00:03:36,183
I'm just saying
You're probably rocked back
92
00:03:36,250 --> 00:03:37,651
From your meeting last week.
93
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:38,919
A little.
94
00:03:38,986 --> 00:03:40,488
They threatened you
With a legislative agenda.
95
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:41,455
Yeah.
96
00:03:41,522 --> 00:03:42,823
They made you
Feel powerless
97
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:44,258
And you're a little
Off your game.
98
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:45,659
Yeah.
A little gun shy.
99
00:03:45,726 --> 00:03:46,460
Leave him alone.
100
00:03:46,527 --> 00:03:47,695
I'm bucking him up.
101
00:03:47,761 --> 00:03:48,629
Leave him alone.
102
00:03:48,696 --> 00:03:50,163
You asked me
To buck him up.
103
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:51,799
Now I'm telling you
To leave him alone.
104
00:03:51,865 --> 00:03:53,801
Guys, I'm trying
To watch this speech.
105
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:54,802
Josh--
The call?
106
00:03:54,868 --> 00:03:56,036
On the cell.
107
00:03:56,103 --> 00:03:57,571
The choice of nominees
Constitutionally belongs
108
00:03:57,638 --> 00:03:59,172
To the president
Of the united states
109
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:00,708
You need us,
We're right next to you.
110
00:04:00,774 --> 00:04:04,512
Hi, senator. Why don't you take
Your legislative agenda
111
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,179
And shove it up your ass.
112
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:07,247
( cheering )
113
00:04:07,315 --> 00:04:10,618
Turns out I was fine.
114
00:05:01,502 --> 00:05:03,270
Man:
C.J., is the white house
Concerned
115
00:05:03,337 --> 00:05:05,806
That the f.E.C. Will become
A partisan political football?
116
00:05:05,873 --> 00:05:09,343
I'd like to emphasize again
That the president has nominated
117
00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:11,679
One democrat and one republican
118
00:05:11,745 --> 00:05:15,048
Which he was certainly under
No legal obligation to do.
119
00:05:15,115 --> 00:05:16,650
( all clamoring )
Jessie.
120
00:05:16,717 --> 00:05:19,219
In the past, the f.E.C.
Commissioners were chosen...
121
00:05:19,286 --> 00:05:20,621
In the past the
F.E.C. Commissioners
122
00:05:20,688 --> 00:05:22,456
Have been chosen
By the president signing off
123
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:24,592
On whomever the congressional
Leadership pointed to.
124
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,326
Was the congressional leadership
Aware in advance
125
00:05:26,394 --> 00:05:27,628
That the president would
Be slipping
126
00:05:27,695 --> 00:05:30,498
This announcement
Into his speech tonight?
127
00:05:30,564 --> 00:05:33,100
I think it's possible
We forgot to tell them.
128
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:35,202
( all clamoring )
129
00:05:35,268 --> 00:05:36,837
C.J., is the president
130
00:05:36,904 --> 00:05:38,706
Declaring war on congress?
Say it's a police action.
131
00:05:38,772 --> 00:05:40,541
The president is not empowered
To declare war.
132
00:05:40,608 --> 00:05:42,910
The president is empowered,
In fact he's obligated
133
00:05:42,976 --> 00:05:45,278
To nominate
Federal agency directors.
134
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:47,481
I call it
More of a police action.
135
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:50,217
How about that.
136
00:05:50,283 --> 00:05:50,984
Toby wants you.
137
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:51,819
On the phone?
138
00:05:51,885 --> 00:05:53,253
In his office.
139
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,854
You know why?
140
00:05:53,921 --> 00:05:54,988
Polling.
141
00:05:55,055 --> 00:05:56,123
He's bringing in
Al kiefer?
142
00:05:56,189 --> 00:05:57,190
Let him tell you.
143
00:05:57,257 --> 00:05:58,559
Why can't you tell me?
144
00:05:58,626 --> 00:05:59,793
'cause you're going
To his office now
145
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:01,695
And I've got
37 different things...
146
00:06:01,762 --> 00:06:04,131
Fine.
Josh?
147
00:06:04,197 --> 00:06:06,700
Yes, he's bring
In al kiefer.
148
00:06:06,767 --> 00:06:08,936
I figured he
Was bringing in kiefer.
149
00:06:09,002 --> 00:06:10,170
That's what you
Were afraid to tell me?
150
00:06:10,237 --> 00:06:12,573
I wasn't afraid.
151
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,107
The thing is, it's going
To be interesting
152
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:15,509
To see how you react to this
153
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:17,978
But kiefer wants
To bring in a california expert.
154
00:06:18,045 --> 00:06:19,747
That's a good idea, 'cause...
155
00:06:19,813 --> 00:06:21,415
Wait.
Yeah.
156
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:22,683
Joey lucas.
157
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:24,351
She's coming out
With kiefer tomorrow.
158
00:06:24,418 --> 00:06:25,586
Okay.
159
00:06:25,653 --> 00:06:26,854
Okay.
By the way
160
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,656
That's what I was
Afraid to tell you.
161
00:06:28,722 --> 00:06:29,923
You shouldn't have
Been. You know why?
162
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:31,391
It's no big deal.
163
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:32,893
It's no big deal, and
I'll tell you what else.
164
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,394
You're a pro?
165
00:06:34,462 --> 00:06:35,996
I am a pro, but that's not
What I was going to say.
166
00:06:36,063 --> 00:06:37,197
What were you
Going to say?
167
00:06:37,264 --> 00:06:39,299
That's what I was
Going to say.
168
00:06:39,366 --> 00:06:40,601
But both those things
Are true-- I'm a pro
169
00:06:40,668 --> 00:06:41,969
And what was
The other one?
170
00:06:42,035 --> 00:06:42,870
It's no big deal.
171
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:43,804
That's right.
172
00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:45,939
Rambo!
You talking to me?
173
00:06:46,006 --> 00:06:47,441
Nice phone call.
174
00:06:47,508 --> 00:06:49,710
That's how we do things
In new england, my friends.
175
00:06:49,777 --> 00:06:51,512
In indiana, we're not allowed
To talk like that.
176
00:06:51,579 --> 00:06:53,180
In new jersey,
We encourage it.
177
00:06:53,246 --> 00:06:54,081
Where's toby?
178
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:56,684
In sam's office.
179
00:06:57,284 --> 00:06:57,951
Hey.
180
00:06:58,018 --> 00:06:59,620
Hang on.
181
00:07:01,154 --> 00:07:02,823
That's good.
182
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:07,461
Good.
183
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,030
Okay.
184
00:07:10,397 --> 00:07:10,931
Sam?
185
00:07:10,998 --> 00:07:12,065
Yeah?
186
00:07:12,132 --> 00:07:14,267
You're going to come
To a verb soon, right?
187
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:15,769
Okay. You know what
This is called?
188
00:07:15,836 --> 00:07:16,804
Bad writing?
189
00:07:16,870 --> 00:07:17,538
Imagery.
190
00:07:17,605 --> 00:07:19,206
Well, you say potato.
191
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:20,474
Josh, it's
A big polling week.
192
00:07:20,541 --> 00:07:21,742
I'm bringing in
Al kiefer.
193
00:07:21,809 --> 00:07:24,311
You've turned 180
Degrees on kiefer.
194
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:26,179
I don't want him
Advising the president.
195
00:07:26,246 --> 00:07:27,515
I want him bringing us numbers.
196
00:07:27,581 --> 00:07:29,282
Advising people
Is what pollsters do.
197
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:30,751
He'll do what I tell him to do.
198
00:07:30,818 --> 00:07:32,553
English
As the national language.
199
00:07:32,620 --> 00:07:34,087
It's the first thing
They'll fire back with.
200
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:35,388
We need hispanics.
201
00:07:35,455 --> 00:07:37,090
You know what state has
A large population
202
00:07:37,157 --> 00:07:37,991
Of hispanics?
203
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:39,392
Uh, I want to say maine.
204
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:40,528
California.
205
00:07:40,594 --> 00:07:41,695
California. Damn.
206
00:07:41,762 --> 00:07:43,396
And I was only off
By a continent.
207
00:07:43,463 --> 00:07:44,264
Josh...
208
00:07:44,331 --> 00:07:45,332
It's fine.
209
00:07:45,398 --> 00:07:46,600
Bring her out here.
210
00:07:46,667 --> 00:07:48,235
She'll be here tomorrow.
211
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:50,270
This isn't a thing.
212
00:07:50,337 --> 00:07:51,304
Okay.
213
00:07:51,371 --> 00:07:52,806
I met her twice, toby.
214
00:07:52,873 --> 00:07:55,809
Yeah, but one of those times
She broke your heart.
215
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:57,310
You know, the way
216
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:58,612
Women can do--
217
00:07:58,679 --> 00:07:59,947
The way they take your heart
218
00:08:00,013 --> 00:08:01,815
And they throw it on the floor
219
00:08:01,882 --> 00:08:04,084
And then they stomp on it
With their big hig h-heels.
220
00:08:04,151 --> 00:08:05,152
She's a
Very beautiful
221
00:08:05,218 --> 00:08:06,520
And interesting
Woman, josh.
222
00:08:06,587 --> 00:08:09,122
I can see how a lot
Of guys would go for her.
223
00:08:11,158 --> 00:08:13,927
You know, there's nothing at all
That I'm saying now of any value
224
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:15,395
So I think the thing to do is
225
00:08:15,462 --> 00:08:18,165
I think I should
Just keep writing.
226
00:08:18,231 --> 00:08:19,232
Okay.
227
00:08:19,299 --> 00:08:21,101
( clearing throat )
228
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:24,104
We had a good night.
229
00:08:24,171 --> 00:08:25,405
Yeah.
230
00:08:25,472 --> 00:08:28,642
C.J.'s doing great in there.
231
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:38,485
Anytime you want to use
Punctuation, that'd be fine.
232
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:39,887
Reporters:
C.J.?
233
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:41,121
C.J.:
I'll take one more question.
234
00:08:41,188 --> 00:08:42,389
Katie?
235
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:44,457
The federal election
Commission's role
236
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:45,893
Has never been
Much more than symbolic.
237
00:08:45,959 --> 00:08:47,360
I wouldn't say
238
00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:49,630
F.E.C.'s merely symbolic,
But if you're suggesting
239
00:08:49,697 --> 00:08:51,665
That they're toothless,
I'll agree.
240
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,601
Does the white house
Feel that two new commissioners
241
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:54,702
Will make any difference?
242
00:08:54,768 --> 00:08:55,903
No.
Then why do it?
243
00:08:55,969 --> 00:08:56,970
Symbolism.
244
00:08:57,037 --> 00:08:58,305
There'll be
Plenty more tomorrow.
245
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,274
Everybody, have a good night.
246
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,443
Carol?
( clamoring )
247
00:09:03,510 --> 00:09:05,045
( whispering )
248
00:09:07,815 --> 00:09:09,883
Jack, c.J.'s
Inviting you back
249
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:11,451
To follow up on
A couple of things.
250
00:09:11,518 --> 00:09:12,452
Me?
251
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:13,553
Yeah.
252
00:09:13,621 --> 00:09:14,554
She doesn't want me.
253
00:09:14,622 --> 00:09:16,590
She's wants danny.
254
00:09:16,657 --> 00:09:18,759
No, she asked
For you.
255
00:09:18,826 --> 00:09:21,228
Danny-- the senior white
House correspondent--
256
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,463
If there's going to
Be an exclusive with
The press secretary...
257
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:25,833
No. She want's you.
258
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:39,312
Sam:
Mandatory minimums
Are racist...
259
00:09:39,379 --> 00:09:40,280
Toby:
I understand that.
260
00:09:40,347 --> 00:09:41,181
They're a red herring.
261
00:09:41,248 --> 00:09:42,750
I understand that, too.
262
00:09:42,816 --> 00:09:44,517
It's a way of
Looking like you're
Tough on crime
263
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:46,153
Without assuming
The burden of being
Tough on crime.
264
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:47,487
Everything you've said,
I understand.
265
00:09:47,554 --> 00:09:49,156
We do things
One thing at a time.
266
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:50,658
But we don't have
Time to do things
One thing at a time.
267
00:09:50,724 --> 00:09:51,759
We're talking
About treatment.
268
00:09:51,825 --> 00:09:53,060
I'm talking
About treatment.
269
00:09:53,126 --> 00:09:54,527
And I'm talking about
Mandatory minimums
270
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,696
And I'm saying
It's a red herring
271
00:09:55,763 --> 00:09:56,730
And I'm saying
It's racist.
272
00:09:56,797 --> 00:09:58,165
When you talk
To the president
273
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:01,869
I want you talking about
Treatment versus enforcement
274
00:10:01,935 --> 00:10:03,103
And I don't want you
To stray from that.
275
00:10:03,170 --> 00:10:04,638
Toby, is this what you
Meant when you said
276
00:10:04,705 --> 00:10:06,073
"Sam, you're completely
In charge of this"?
277
00:10:06,139 --> 00:10:08,008
Yes. I meant you're
Completely in charge of this
278
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:10,243
In the sense that you are
Subordinate to me in every way.
279
00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:11,344
Where is this place?
280
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:13,313
What place?
The breakfast place.
281
00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:14,782
It's still on
The last street.
282
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:16,516
Why didn't you
Say anything?
283
00:10:16,583 --> 00:10:19,052
We were having
A nice conversation.
284
00:10:22,723 --> 00:10:24,658
Mr. Mcgarry,
Would you like
Some tomato juice
285
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:26,293
While you're
Waiting for
The others?
286
00:10:26,359 --> 00:10:27,327
Thanks, celia.
287
00:10:43,110 --> 00:10:44,344
All set there?
288
00:10:44,411 --> 00:10:45,679
Yeah.
289
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:47,047
Leo.
290
00:10:47,114 --> 00:10:49,049
We couldn't meet
Closer to the office?
291
00:10:49,116 --> 00:10:50,951
I don't want people
Coming by the table.
292
00:10:51,018 --> 00:10:52,552
We couldn't meet
In the office?
293
00:10:52,619 --> 00:10:53,887
I was hungry.
294
00:10:53,954 --> 00:10:54,888
We couldn't have
Food ordered?
295
00:10:54,955 --> 00:10:56,123
Oh, sit down, would you?
296
00:10:56,924 --> 00:10:58,558
That josh has on
You should notica nice suit.
297
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:00,093
We'll call it his
Joey lucas suit.
298
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,528
Donna!
You know,
From now on.
299
00:11:01,594 --> 00:11:03,530
Joey lucas is coming?
We need
A california expert
300
00:11:03,596 --> 00:11:05,665
And this is
My regular tuesday suit.
301
00:11:05,733 --> 00:11:07,667
You assign your clothes
Days of the week?
302
00:11:07,735 --> 00:11:11,271
I'm saying there's
No particular m.O. Behind...
303
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:12,305
We found it.
304
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:13,606
About time.
Sit down.
305
00:11:13,673 --> 00:11:15,242
Uh, leo...
Hang on.
306
00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:17,477
Talk to me
About drugs.
307
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:20,013
We can make a case
For treatment versus enforcement
308
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,782
And we're ready
To go to the president.
309
00:11:21,849 --> 00:11:23,550
We're also ready to
Go to the president
310
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:24,818
With mandatory
Minimums on crack
311
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:26,353
Versus
Powder cocaine.
312
00:11:26,419 --> 00:11:27,420
One step at a time.
313
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:28,756
That's what
Toby just said.
314
00:11:28,822 --> 00:11:29,823
Toby's right.
315
00:11:29,890 --> 00:11:30,958
Yes. Does anyone remember
316
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:32,192
That I was put in charge?
317
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:34,327
It was an honorary
Thing, sam.
318
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:36,296
Leo.
319
00:11:36,363 --> 00:11:37,630
Yeah?
320
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,266
Are you ready
To order?
321
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:40,834
Write these names down.
322
00:11:40,901 --> 00:11:42,502
Dalton...
323
00:11:42,569 --> 00:11:43,503
Dawson...
324
00:11:43,570 --> 00:11:45,705
Foxworthy, greer...
325
00:11:45,773 --> 00:11:47,741
Morgenthau...
326
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:48,776
Stackhouse...
327
00:11:48,842 --> 00:11:50,577
Sugarbaker.
328
00:11:50,643 --> 00:11:52,612
Thank you.
329
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,381
What was that?
330
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:55,883
You know what that was.
331
00:11:55,949 --> 00:11:58,651
Leo, what do you
Want me to do
With these names?
332
00:11:58,718 --> 00:11:59,953
Hold on to them
Until I say so.
333
00:12:00,020 --> 00:12:02,756
It's exactly the
Right thing to do.
334
00:12:02,823 --> 00:12:04,457
From anybody but me.
335
00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:05,926
I'd like
To clear up
336
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:09,997
That I don't have suits
For days of the week.
337
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:11,698
This is just
A regular suit.
338
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:12,732
It's a nice suit.
339
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,767
Sure it's
A nice suit.
340
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:14,968
It's his
Joey lucas suit.
341
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,336
Donna!
I'm beginning
To regret
342
00:12:16,403 --> 00:12:17,404
Not getting
The waffles.
343
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:18,738
I am beginning
To regret
344
00:12:18,806 --> 00:12:20,407
Having hired
Any of you.
345
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:21,975
We have a 42%
Job approval
346
00:12:22,042 --> 00:12:23,944
And you're talking
About waffles
347
00:12:24,011 --> 00:12:26,346
And something
With josh I
Don't understand.
348
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,715
He's wearing
A special suit
For joey lucas.
349
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:30,750
You got dressed up
For a guy named joey?
350
00:12:30,818 --> 00:12:32,085
Joey lucas is a woman
351
00:12:32,152 --> 00:12:33,887
And I'm not getting
Dressed up for her.
352
00:12:33,954 --> 00:12:35,455
It's his regular
Tuesday suit.
353
00:12:35,522 --> 00:12:38,058
My point is, we have
To make it through the week
354
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:39,860
Without making any mistakes.
355
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:40,961
We will.
I'm saying...
356
00:12:41,028 --> 00:12:42,896
I'm saying, calm dawn.
357
00:12:42,963 --> 00:12:43,831
I'm perfectly calm.
358
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:45,298
You're not calm, leo.
359
00:12:45,365 --> 00:12:48,501
You're acting like
A nervous hooleelia.
360
00:12:48,568 --> 00:12:50,070
A what?
361
00:12:51,404 --> 00:12:52,840
It may not be a word.
362
00:12:52,906 --> 00:12:55,775
It may just be something
My mother used to say.
363
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:04,351
Kiefer:
It's a huge mistake.
364
00:13:04,417 --> 00:13:05,886
It is a huge mistake,
Mr. President
365
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,320
And possibly a fatal one.
366
00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:09,289
It'll doom the midterms
In november
367
00:13:09,356 --> 00:13:11,258
It will haunt you
At the convention
368
00:13:11,324 --> 00:13:13,426
And, if you manage
To get renominated--
369
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:14,928
Which is far from a lock--
370
00:13:14,995 --> 00:13:16,997
There's no way
You win reelection.
371
00:13:17,064 --> 00:13:19,132
Al's mr. Good news
Happy-guy.
372
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:19,900
Sam...
373
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:21,468
For the first time
374
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:23,370
More voters disapprove
Than approve
375
00:13:23,436 --> 00:13:25,372
Of the president's
Job performance.
376
00:13:25,438 --> 00:13:26,739
42% approval.
377
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:29,376
This is not the time
To come out for legalization.
378
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:31,211
We're not
Coming out
For legalization.
379
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:33,346
It's going to be a long day.
380
00:13:33,413 --> 00:13:35,715
Kiefer's just
Getting warmed up.
381
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:38,018
Listen.
382
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,455
You're kidding.
383
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:43,590
No.
384
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:44,892
He doesn't
Want me in there?
385
00:13:44,958 --> 00:13:46,259
Leo's not
Comfortable with it.
386
00:13:46,326 --> 00:13:47,961
Leo's not
Comfortable with it?
No.
387
00:13:48,028 --> 00:13:49,396
I'll talk
To the president.
388
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:51,331
You can't.
C.J....
389
00:13:51,398 --> 00:13:53,400
It was just a memo.
390
00:13:53,466 --> 00:13:54,501
It wasn't just a memo.
391
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:55,735
Do you have any idea
392
00:13:55,802 --> 00:13:57,704
How pissed
People are at you?
393
00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:59,306
C.J....
They're pissed at me.
394
00:13:59,372 --> 00:14:01,208
That's how pissed
They are at you.
395
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:03,276
They want to know
Why I didn't know
About the memo.
396
00:14:03,343 --> 00:14:05,245
I can be trusted.
397
00:14:05,312 --> 00:14:07,114
We'll see.
398
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:08,815
There's plenty
For you to do.
399
00:14:08,882 --> 00:14:10,683
Leo would feel
More comfortable
400
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:12,752
If you stayed out
Of this meeting.
401
00:14:12,819 --> 00:14:14,321
Okay. Okay!
402
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:19,626
You're coming...
Drug control...
403
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,161
Mr. President...
Listen to me.
404
00:14:21,228 --> 00:14:23,530
Drug control
Appropriations...
405
00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:24,965
Which total $17.6 billion...
406
00:14:25,032 --> 00:14:27,034
Are divided into
A ratio of two-thirds
407
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,868
Enforcement,
One-third treatment.
408
00:14:28,936 --> 00:14:30,603
We want to reverse that ratio.
409
00:14:30,670 --> 00:14:31,704
Spend less money
410
00:14:31,771 --> 00:14:33,073
On drug
Enforcement?
411
00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:34,507
So we can spend
More on treatment.
412
00:14:34,574 --> 00:14:35,708
So you're soft on crime.
413
00:14:35,775 --> 00:14:37,110
You don't care
If kids shoot up
414
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:38,511
On the playground
At recess.
415
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:39,746
We don't care, do we, sam?
416
00:14:39,812 --> 00:14:40,914
What did I miss?
417
00:14:40,981 --> 00:14:42,549
Kiefer's been here
45 minutes.
418
00:14:42,615 --> 00:14:44,851
He's already got me
On the playground at recess.
419
00:14:44,918 --> 00:14:46,619
Took you 45 minutes?
420
00:14:46,686 --> 00:14:50,523
Toby:
Mr. President,
Sam and I have been working
421
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:52,759
With the office
Of national drug control policy.
422
00:14:52,825 --> 00:14:54,461
We have some numbers
You should hear.
423
00:14:54,527 --> 00:14:56,029
Let's hear them.
424
00:14:59,366 --> 00:15:00,100
What's up?
425
00:15:00,167 --> 00:15:01,701
Joey lucas is here.
426
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,303
She's waiting
In your office.
427
00:15:03,370 --> 00:15:04,437
Okay.
Okay.
428
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:07,807
What are
You smiling at?
429
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:09,309
Fine-looking
Woman, josh.
430
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:10,510
Yes.
431
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:11,544
I could help
You out.
432
00:15:11,611 --> 00:15:12,679
Help me out with what?
433
00:15:12,745 --> 00:15:13,913
She's a
Fine-looking woman.
434
00:15:13,981 --> 00:15:14,914
Stop saying that.
435
00:15:14,982 --> 00:15:15,983
I owe you a lot, josh.
436
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:17,050
You got me this job.
437
00:15:17,117 --> 00:15:18,385
I'd like
To pay you back.
438
00:15:18,451 --> 00:15:20,120
By helping me out?
By helping you out.
439
00:15:20,187 --> 00:15:21,921
What makes you think
I need any help?
440
00:15:21,989 --> 00:15:23,523
She's a fine-looking
Woman, josh.
441
00:15:23,590 --> 00:15:25,092
Get away from me.
442
00:15:29,196 --> 00:15:30,663
Hey, joey. Hey, kenny.
443
00:15:30,730 --> 00:15:31,999
Good to see you.
444
00:15:32,065 --> 00:15:33,666
I've got your desk
Set up out here.
445
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:35,235
Why don't you come with me.
446
00:15:35,902 --> 00:15:37,304
Hey!
447
00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:38,338
Yeah?
448
00:15:38,405 --> 00:15:39,906
My flight was fine, thank you.
449
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:41,574
Joey, we're in
A bit of a mode here
450
00:15:41,641 --> 00:15:43,610
And I think it's best
If we just do business.
451
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:45,178
Plus, this
Is the white house.
452
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:48,581
I wouldn't expect candy
And flowers on your arrival.
453
00:15:48,648 --> 00:15:49,882
Excuse me.
454
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:50,883
Joey, these
Are from leo mcgarry.
455
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,285
He says welcome
456
00:15:52,352 --> 00:15:54,554
And let him know
If there's anything you need.
457
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,723
Oh, that's
So sweet.
458
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,025
Thank him for me.
459
00:15:58,091 --> 00:15:59,492
I will.
Have a good flight?
460
00:15:59,559 --> 00:16:02,229
Go back to your office.
461
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:03,963
They're carnations.
462
00:16:04,031 --> 00:16:05,498
This is your desk.
463
00:16:05,565 --> 00:16:06,899
You got a phone.
464
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:07,900
You got a computer.
465
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:09,269
You got access to a staff.
466
00:16:09,336 --> 00:16:10,237
I know how women like
467
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:11,404
To personalize
Their desks
468
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:13,106
With flowers,
Plants and hand lotion
469
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:15,475
But I prefer the place
To be professional.
470
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:19,646
Your staff likes
To decorate their desks
471
00:16:19,712 --> 00:16:20,980
With hand lotion?
472
00:16:21,048 --> 00:16:22,749
Some of them might
473
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:25,752
And I'm saying we don't do that
On my side of the building.
474
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:29,189
I'm going to go
Back to this meeting
475
00:16:29,256 --> 00:16:31,258
And then I'll brief you
On what I need.
476
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:32,892
Okay.
477
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:35,162
Okay.
478
00:16:37,064 --> 00:16:40,633
I'm not sleeping
With al kiefer anymore.
479
00:16:42,635 --> 00:16:44,604
Come here.
480
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:46,273
Can I help you?
481
00:16:46,339 --> 00:16:47,274
Yes.
482
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:48,075
How?
483
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:49,742
By coming here.
484
00:16:54,314 --> 00:16:57,084
This is a place
Where solemn work is done.
485
00:16:57,150 --> 00:16:59,018
This is a place that...
486
00:16:59,086 --> 00:17:00,387
This is a place...
487
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:02,389
Let me say this:
This is not a place
488
00:17:02,455 --> 00:17:04,224
Where one's personal things...
489
00:17:04,291 --> 00:17:05,892
Where things among people...
490
00:17:05,958 --> 00:17:07,827
This is not place...
Let's just...
491
00:17:07,894 --> 00:17:09,796
This is a place
Where work is done
492
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:11,298
And nothing else.
493
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:13,433
You bet.
494
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:15,102
Okay.
495
00:17:15,168 --> 00:17:16,669
Nice suit.
496
00:17:18,305 --> 00:17:20,006
I'll... I'll be back.
497
00:17:20,073 --> 00:17:21,841
Josh, I misspoke last night.
498
00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,110
I said the president
499
00:17:23,176 --> 00:17:25,212
Nominated a democrat
And a republican
500
00:17:25,278 --> 00:17:26,546
Even though he was
501
00:17:26,613 --> 00:17:28,715
Under no legal
Obligation to do so.
502
00:17:28,781 --> 00:17:29,949
It turns out he is.
503
00:17:30,016 --> 00:17:31,951
This is from the
White house counsel?
504
00:17:32,018 --> 00:17:32,952
Yeah.
505
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:33,953
You're sure?
506
00:17:34,020 --> 00:17:35,455
About what?
507
00:17:35,522 --> 00:17:37,690
You said he nominated
A democrat and a republican...
508
00:17:37,757 --> 00:17:39,959
Though he was
Under no legal
Obligation to do so.
509
00:17:40,026 --> 00:17:42,462
I just looked
At the transcript.
510
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:44,964
All right, you'll fix
It at the briefing?
511
00:17:45,031 --> 00:17:46,666
Yeah.
512
00:17:46,733 --> 00:17:48,535
Don't worry
About it.
513
00:17:57,244 --> 00:17:59,078
Sam:
The american
Medical association
514
00:17:59,146 --> 00:18:01,181
Says that addiction
Is a disease.
515
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:03,250
Kiefer:
You're not going
To be able to sell that.
516
00:18:03,316 --> 00:18:05,152
Al, you're not going
To be able to sell it.
517
00:18:05,218 --> 00:18:06,286
The a.M.A. Says it.
518
00:18:06,353 --> 00:18:07,487
Why does he
Have to sell it?
519
00:18:07,554 --> 00:18:08,488
Because.
520
00:18:08,555 --> 00:18:09,722
Drug addiction
Is a disease.
521
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:10,723
It's a medical problem.
522
00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:11,724
It can be treated.
523
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:12,825
This isn't
Ideological.
524
00:18:12,892 --> 00:18:13,860
It's science.
525
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,262
It's science to you.
526
00:18:15,328 --> 00:18:19,098
Science is science
To everybody, al.
527
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,833
What did I miss?
528
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:22,402
Toby was just explaining to al
529
00:18:22,469 --> 00:18:24,304
That science is science
To everyone.
530
00:18:24,371 --> 00:18:27,674
And I believe that science
Is science to everybody.
531
00:18:27,740 --> 00:18:29,909
I just don't think
You can sell that.
532
00:18:29,976 --> 00:18:31,411
Mr. President, while al tries
533
00:18:31,478 --> 00:18:33,546
To come up with something
Easier to sell
534
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:34,347
Than science
535
00:18:34,414 --> 00:18:35,782
Would you mind
If I spoke
536
00:18:35,848 --> 00:18:36,949
To toby
And leo alone?
537
00:18:37,016 --> 00:18:38,818
Go.
538
00:18:42,755 --> 00:18:44,924
Hey, joey lucas says
539
00:18:44,991 --> 00:18:47,927
She's not with
Kiefer anymore.
540
00:18:47,994 --> 00:18:49,128
That's a load
Off our minds.
541
00:18:49,196 --> 00:18:51,264
Yeah. Uh... C.J.
Misspoke last night
542
00:18:51,331 --> 00:18:52,565
During her briefing.
543
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:54,934
She'll fix it when
She's back in there.
544
00:18:55,001 --> 00:18:56,002
What did she say?
545
00:18:56,068 --> 00:18:57,204
She said the president
546
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:58,805
Nominated a democrat
And a republican
547
00:18:58,871 --> 00:19:00,607
When he was
Under no legal
Obligation to do so.
548
00:19:00,673 --> 00:19:03,210
He is under a legal obligation.
549
00:19:03,276 --> 00:19:05,144
She knows that now.
This is just the kind
550
00:19:05,212 --> 00:19:06,679
Of dumb mistake
We don't need right now.
551
00:19:06,746 --> 00:19:08,248
She knows that, too.
552
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:12,219
All right, what
Are you going to do?
553
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:13,753
How's it going
In there?
554
00:19:13,820 --> 00:19:15,021
Sam's just starting.
555
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:16,723
Did you talk
To him about
556
00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:18,425
The thing yet?
No.
557
00:19:18,491 --> 00:19:19,759
Me?
Leo:
Yeah. Listen.
558
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:21,228
Josh:
We want you to go
559
00:19:21,294 --> 00:19:22,529
To a meeting.
560
00:19:22,595 --> 00:19:23,563
With who?
561
00:19:23,630 --> 00:19:25,097
A prominent
House democrat
562
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:27,166
Who has a voice on
Campaign finance reform
563
00:19:27,234 --> 00:19:29,202
And if it was someone
On the ethics committee
564
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:30,403
That would
Be even better
565
00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:31,538
Because then
She could answer
566
00:19:31,604 --> 00:19:33,440
Some of
Leo's questions.
567
00:19:33,506 --> 00:19:34,841
I used to be married
568
00:19:34,907 --> 00:19:37,377
To someone
Who fits that description.
569
00:19:37,444 --> 00:19:39,111
I set up lunch
For the two of you.
570
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,581
You set me up on a date
With my ex-wife?
571
00:19:41,648 --> 00:19:43,750
Yeah. Let her know
That the president
572
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:46,586
Won't ask the democrats
To unilaterally drop soft money.
573
00:19:46,653 --> 00:19:48,721
Make that clear.
574
00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:51,591
Also take her temperature
On the ethics thing.
575
00:19:51,658 --> 00:19:53,360
Okay.
576
00:19:56,829 --> 00:19:58,498
See you later.
577
00:20:00,667 --> 00:20:01,601
Leo?
578
00:20:01,668 --> 00:20:02,835
Hmm?
579
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:04,170
You had to
Send flowers?
580
00:20:04,237 --> 00:20:06,473
It's a nice thing to do.
581
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:10,777
Yeah, but I had this whole
Patter thing going, and then...
582
00:20:10,843 --> 00:20:12,579
The hell with it.
583
00:20:12,645 --> 00:20:14,113
Margaret?
584
00:20:14,180 --> 00:20:15,615
Yes?
585
00:20:15,682 --> 00:20:17,417
The list of names
I gave you before?
586
00:20:17,484 --> 00:20:18,751
Dalton, dawson,
Foxworthy, greer
587
00:20:18,818 --> 00:20:20,653
Morgenthau,
Stackhouse, sugarbaker.
588
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,255
You didn't need
To memorize them.
589
00:20:22,322 --> 00:20:23,356
Couldn't help it.
Okay.
590
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:24,457
My mind works
That way.
591
00:20:24,524 --> 00:20:25,892
Yes, call their offices.
592
00:20:25,958 --> 00:20:27,960
I want to see
One representative
Apiece at 2:00.
593
00:20:28,027 --> 00:20:29,128
I want them as a group.
594
00:20:29,195 --> 00:20:30,229
In the office?
595
00:20:30,297 --> 00:20:32,665
In the press briefing room.
596
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:33,800
Leo?
Yeah?
597
00:20:33,866 --> 00:20:35,568
What do those seven people
Have in common?
598
00:20:35,635 --> 00:20:38,004
Don't worry about it.
599
00:20:54,921 --> 00:20:56,323
Hello.
Hello.
600
00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:57,890
I see you're all
Settled in.
601
00:20:57,957 --> 00:20:58,891
Uh, yes, yes.
602
00:20:58,958 --> 00:21:00,126
Your area looks good.
603
00:21:00,192 --> 00:21:01,794
Not too many personal items.
604
00:21:01,861 --> 00:21:03,896
Got your little clock--
That's fine.
605
00:21:03,963 --> 00:21:04,897
Thank you.
606
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,366
Here's the story:
607
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:08,134
The president announced
Last night he's naming
608
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,836
Two campaign finance
Reform-minded nominees to the
F.E.C.
609
00:21:09,902 --> 00:21:12,539
This will anger
The republican leadership
610
00:21:12,605 --> 00:21:14,073
To the extent
That they'll retaliate.
611
00:21:14,140 --> 00:21:16,376
Retaliate how? They'll introduce
A series of bills
612
00:21:16,443 --> 00:21:18,210
Designed to put the president
613
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,146
On the wrong side
Of public debates.
614
00:21:20,212 --> 00:21:23,215
The first will be a law making
English the national language.
615
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:24,951
I already know this, josh.
616
00:21:25,017 --> 00:21:27,954
I've been working on it
Since toby called me.
617
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,289
Joey...
618
00:21:30,357 --> 00:21:32,325
( alarm rings )
619
00:21:32,392 --> 00:21:34,961
Lunchtime.
620
00:21:42,034 --> 00:21:45,204
Over 30% of the entire
Federal prison population
621
00:21:45,271 --> 00:21:47,340
Are nonviolent,
First-time offenders
622
00:21:47,407 --> 00:21:49,241
In jail for
Drug-related crimes.
623
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:50,777
Sam...
624
00:21:50,843 --> 00:21:53,212
At a cost, for those
Prisoners alone...
Sam...
625
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:54,914
Of $2 million a day.
626
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:57,149
Mr. President, we can sell
The public on the idea
627
00:21:57,216 --> 00:22:00,052
That two million bucks a day
Can be put to better use.
628
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,388
Not if it's for treatment.
629
00:22:01,454 --> 00:22:02,589
Yes, if it's
For treatment.
630
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:04,023
Yes, if we can
Demonstrate
631
00:22:04,090 --> 00:22:06,058
That treatment
Is what prevents
Substance abuse.
632
00:22:06,125 --> 00:22:07,860
And yes, if you can get people
To sit still long enough
633
00:22:07,927 --> 00:22:10,029
To hear that argument,
But it takes a lot less time
634
00:22:10,096 --> 00:22:12,064
To hear "Just say no"
635
00:22:12,131 --> 00:22:14,333
And "Anyone on the other side
Is soft on crime."
636
00:22:14,401 --> 00:22:15,201
The a.M.A....
637
00:22:15,267 --> 00:22:16,903
I can't sell it!
638
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:17,970
He can't sell science.
639
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:19,606
Mr. President...
I'm hungry
640
00:22:19,672 --> 00:22:21,173
And nobody has convinced me
Of anything.
641
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,144
Let's go eat lunch
And meet back here in an hour.
642
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:26,813
Thank you, sir.
643
00:22:34,621 --> 00:22:35,755
How's it going?
644
00:22:35,822 --> 00:22:38,725
Uh, we're in
The early stages.
645
00:22:38,791 --> 00:22:40,427
Do you know what
You want for lunch?
646
00:22:40,493 --> 00:22:41,694
That's an interesting
Question.
647
00:22:41,761 --> 00:22:43,029
Sam...
I could have turkey.
648
00:22:43,095 --> 00:22:44,330
Sam...
I could have fish.
649
00:22:44,397 --> 00:22:45,865
Would you like to
Look at the menus?
650
00:22:45,932 --> 00:22:47,867
A nice piece of fish
Never hurt anybody, cathy.
651
00:22:47,934 --> 00:22:48,968
Hey, sam.
Steve.
652
00:22:49,035 --> 00:22:50,603
There was an o.M.B. Meeting
Downstairs.
653
00:22:50,670 --> 00:22:52,271
I wanted to see you.
654
00:22:52,338 --> 00:22:55,307
They said you were
With the president;
I should wait here.
655
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:56,876
Is this about the
F.E.C. Nominees?
656
00:22:56,943 --> 00:22:58,578
Look...
You don't want
To see me;
657
00:22:58,645 --> 00:23:00,012
You want to see josh.
658
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:01,748
Well, josh isn't quite
Himself lately.
659
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:03,683
"Steve, take your
Legislative agenda
660
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:04,951
And shove it up your ass"?
661
00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:07,787
That sounds exactly
Like josh to me.
662
00:23:07,854 --> 00:23:09,656
My boss is ready to set
The building on fire...
663
00:23:09,722 --> 00:23:11,323
Then your boss
Will be arrested
664
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:13,025
As I'm quite sure
That's against the law.
665
00:23:13,092 --> 00:23:14,927
Look, don't mess with
Me, sam. I'm serious.
666
00:23:14,994 --> 00:23:17,497
And I'm tired and this isn't
My thing-- go see josh.
667
00:23:17,564 --> 00:23:18,665
You going to eat?
668
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,332
What?
Lunch. You going
To eat?
669
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,635
Yeah, but at my desk.
I was just going to get a...
670
00:23:22,702 --> 00:23:23,903
What were you
Having?
671
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:24,904
Turkey.
672
00:23:24,971 --> 00:23:26,639
Get two.
673
00:23:28,374 --> 00:23:29,776
It's a beautiful day.
674
00:23:29,842 --> 00:23:30,977
Yes.
675
00:23:32,679 --> 00:23:34,614
This is nice.
It's like a picnic.
676
00:23:34,681 --> 00:23:36,583
There are restaurants,
You know.
677
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:38,618
Indoors, with waiters
And tables.
678
00:23:38,685 --> 00:23:42,054
You should come sit next to me.
679
00:23:42,121 --> 00:23:43,155
I'm wearing a suit.
680
00:23:43,222 --> 00:23:44,591
So am I.
681
00:23:44,657 --> 00:23:46,959
I'm a responsible adult.
682
00:23:47,026 --> 00:23:49,862
I'm a member
Of the united states congress.
683
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,531
I rest my case.
684
00:23:52,632 --> 00:23:54,333
You know what I got?
685
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,234
What?
686
00:23:55,301 --> 00:23:56,202
I got pie.
687
00:23:56,268 --> 00:23:57,904
Andy...
688
00:23:57,970 --> 00:24:01,173
Toby, I've got
Really good pie.
689
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,441
It's homemade.
690
00:24:02,509 --> 00:24:04,711
You baked a pie?
691
00:24:04,777 --> 00:24:07,514
No, I didn't mean
I made it in my home.
692
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:09,115
Let's go.
693
00:24:11,317 --> 00:24:14,086
This pie was baked for me
By one of my constituents.
694
00:24:14,153 --> 00:24:15,755
And you trust it?
695
00:24:15,822 --> 00:24:17,790
Well, that's why
I was hoping you'd
Eat it first.
696
00:24:17,857 --> 00:24:18,825
Andy?
697
00:24:18,891 --> 00:24:20,259
Want to talk
About the f.E.C.?
698
00:24:20,326 --> 00:24:21,761
President's not going
To ask anyone
699
00:24:21,828 --> 00:24:23,530
To give up soft money
Unilaterally.
700
00:24:23,596 --> 00:24:25,732
You're still going
To hear from stadler
And ross.
701
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,534
Yeah.
Probably mccovey,
Lester, brock.
702
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,536
Probably klesko, trask...
703
00:24:29,602 --> 00:24:30,703
Ritchie.
Yeah.
704
00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:32,371
But we have
Your people in line?
705
00:24:32,438 --> 00:24:33,205
Yeah.
706
00:24:33,272 --> 00:24:34,240
What about drugs?
707
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:35,642
That's a different story.
708
00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:36,475
Andy...
Mandatory minimums
Are racist.
709
00:24:36,543 --> 00:24:37,910
One step at a time.
710
00:24:37,977 --> 00:24:39,979
It's part of
The same step.
Treatments.
711
00:24:40,046 --> 00:24:41,614
I'm saying
Mandatory minimums...
I know what you're saying.
712
00:24:41,681 --> 00:24:43,349
I don't want to talk
About mandatory minimums.
713
00:24:43,415 --> 00:24:45,484
The sentencing
Commission's proposals
Regarding cocaine
714
00:24:45,552 --> 00:24:47,554
Recommend that relative
To mandatory federal
Sentencing...
715
00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:49,088
This is what happens.
This is what you do.
716
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,157
I say I don't want to talk
About mandatory minimums
717
00:24:51,223 --> 00:24:53,292
And we talk about
Mandatory minimums anyway.
718
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,763
You hijack my ability
To make that decision
For myself, andrea
719
00:24:56,829 --> 00:25:01,568
And making decisions for myself
Is my birthright.
720
00:25:01,634 --> 00:25:03,435
Good to get that
Off your chest,
There, pokey?
721
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,838
Yes.
722
00:25:05,905 --> 00:25:07,306
Good.
723
00:25:07,373 --> 00:25:10,877
You don't have a problem
With what leo's going to do?
724
00:25:10,943 --> 00:25:13,212
No. But I want
To be there.
725
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:14,313
Why?
726
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:16,282
Just for fun.
727
00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:17,917
It's not fun, andy.
728
00:25:17,984 --> 00:25:19,285
Okay.
729
00:25:19,351 --> 00:25:20,787
It's not fun.
730
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:22,254
Okay.
Not everything's fun.
731
00:25:22,321 --> 00:25:24,023
Okay!
732
00:25:24,090 --> 00:25:26,425
You want to be there,
You can be there
733
00:25:26,492 --> 00:25:29,028
But this is
A serious thing.
734
00:25:29,796 --> 00:25:30,797
Can I bring my pie?
735
00:25:30,863 --> 00:25:31,931
Andy...
736
00:25:31,998 --> 00:25:33,065
I'm just saying
It's a serious thing.
737
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:34,333
There might not be
Any food there.
738
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,735
Can you walk
Faster, please?
739
00:25:35,802 --> 00:25:36,936
I really don't like being
Outdoors this long.
740
00:25:37,003 --> 00:25:38,270
The fact is,
We're probably
741
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:39,939
Going to have to
Confirm your nominees.
Yep.
742
00:25:40,006 --> 00:25:41,941
They're too qualified.
They're too qualified?
743
00:25:42,008 --> 00:25:44,744
Too qualified
Not to confirm.
That's a problem.
744
00:25:44,811 --> 00:25:46,579
I'm saying there's
No political cover.
745
00:25:46,646 --> 00:25:48,280
I understood what
You were saying.
746
00:25:48,347 --> 00:25:51,183
So my question is...
Steve, the f.E.C. Nominees
Aren't my thing.
747
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:53,019
I'm not talking about
The f.E.C. Now.
748
00:25:53,085 --> 00:25:54,754
I'm talking about
Drugs.
749
00:25:54,821 --> 00:25:57,123
You're gearing up to
Announce new drug policy.
750
00:25:57,189 --> 00:25:58,891
We've been gearing up
For 14 months.
751
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:01,427
Yeah, but now you're
Taking daylong
Strategy sessions
752
00:26:01,493 --> 00:26:03,295
In the oval office.
753
00:26:03,362 --> 00:26:05,164
Drugs are obviously
Important to you.
754
00:26:05,231 --> 00:26:06,265
Important to everyone.
755
00:26:06,332 --> 00:26:07,867
I mean particularly to you.
756
00:26:07,934 --> 00:26:09,435
You've been the point man
At the white house.
757
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:10,637
So why do you
Want to trade it
758
00:26:10,703 --> 00:26:12,038
For a move on
Campaign finances?
759
00:26:12,104 --> 00:26:14,340
It's not going to
Get you anywhere.
760
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:16,275
It's going to get me somewhere
And I'm not trading it in.
761
00:26:16,342 --> 00:26:17,343
You are.
762
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:18,177
We're not bartering.
763
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:19,979
I'm saying
764
00:26:20,046 --> 00:26:22,782
Without the f.E.C. Nominations,
There's room to work with us.
765
00:26:22,849 --> 00:26:24,150
And with the nominations?
766
00:26:24,216 --> 00:26:25,918
You can have all
The strategy sessions you want.
767
00:26:25,985 --> 00:26:29,121
No one you need's
Going to take your phone call.
768
00:26:29,188 --> 00:26:30,723
And you, sam, can go back
To writing speeches
769
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:32,725
For when the president meets
The girl scout
770
00:26:32,792 --> 00:26:34,060
Who sold the most cupcakes.
771
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:37,496
( knocking )
772
00:26:37,563 --> 00:26:38,965
Sam?
773
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:40,199
Cookies.
774
00:26:40,266 --> 00:26:42,601
Huh?
775
00:26:42,669 --> 00:26:44,737
Girl scouts sell cookies,
Not cupcakes.
776
00:26:44,804 --> 00:26:47,273
And that was a pretty good
Speech I wrote.
777
00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:48,507
It was about volunteerism.
778
00:26:48,574 --> 00:26:50,242
Well, keep up
The good work, sam!
779
00:26:50,309 --> 00:26:51,343
I will.
780
00:26:54,647 --> 00:26:55,982
Leo?
781
00:26:56,048 --> 00:26:57,984
Yeah?
I was just coming
To see you.
782
00:26:58,050 --> 00:27:00,820
I don't have much time.
Your people are in the
Press briefing room.
783
00:27:00,887 --> 00:27:03,089
Carol's keeping the press
In the northwest lobby.
784
00:27:03,155 --> 00:27:04,523
She'll wait for
Your high sign.
785
00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:06,425
I'll be over in a minute.
786
00:27:06,492 --> 00:27:08,160
We're telling anyone
Who asks why the press
Is out of there
787
00:27:08,227 --> 00:27:09,428
That it's a special
Event.
788
00:27:09,495 --> 00:27:10,763
Good.
789
00:27:10,830 --> 00:27:12,131
Leo, I don't know
If you heard...
790
00:27:12,198 --> 00:27:13,332
Yeah, I did hear, c.J.
791
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:15,835
You want me to tell you
How many different ways
792
00:27:15,902 --> 00:27:17,203
That screwup was stupid?
793
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:19,205
I know.
794
00:27:19,271 --> 00:27:21,440
For one thing, don't
Pass yourself off
As a legal authority.
795
00:27:21,507 --> 00:27:23,743
For another, what the
Hell are you doing
Using a phrase like
796
00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:25,644
"Under no legal
Obligation"?
797
00:27:25,712 --> 00:27:28,147
You're parsing your
Words at a time
When the whole idea...
798
00:27:28,214 --> 00:27:30,416
I know.
So right out the gate,
We got to go back...
799
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,785
Yes.
These amateur mistakes
Make me crazy, c.J.
800
00:27:32,852 --> 00:27:34,520
Yes.
I'll be in there
In a minute.
801
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:35,955
Danny:
That was
Bush league.
802
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,192
That was bush league
What you did last night.
803
00:27:40,259 --> 00:27:43,362
We'll talk in my office.
And why can't anyone
Go in the press room?
804
00:27:43,429 --> 00:27:45,631
There's a meeting
In there.
What kind of meeting?
805
00:27:45,698 --> 00:27:47,633
None of your business.
It's the press room.
806
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,701
Hi, carol.
Hi, carol.
807
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:50,102
Hi.
808
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:54,373
Don't talk to me like that
In front of people.
Look...
809
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,808
No. I just got called
"Amateur" twice in ten seconds.
810
00:27:55,875 --> 00:27:57,076
The white house
Chief of staff
811
00:27:57,143 --> 00:27:58,644
Can do it to me
Wherever he wants.
812
00:27:58,711 --> 00:28:00,212
You don't do it
In front of people.
813
00:28:00,279 --> 00:28:01,914
If I don't have access anymore,
I don't have a job.
814
00:28:01,981 --> 00:28:03,515
I would think a man
With your credentials...
815
00:28:03,582 --> 00:28:05,017
You think I'm
Kidding around?
You think I am?!
816
00:28:05,084 --> 00:28:06,886
The memo was news.
Says you.
817
00:28:06,953 --> 00:28:09,421
That's right, says me--
Says me, says my editor
818
00:28:09,488 --> 00:28:10,823
Says every paper who
Picked it up the next day
819
00:28:10,890 --> 00:28:12,058
Says time, says newsweek.
820
00:28:12,124 --> 00:28:13,826
Congratulations,
You're a movie star.
821
00:28:13,893 --> 00:28:14,727
You're also on the outside
Looking in for a while
822
00:28:14,794 --> 00:28:15,862
So get used to it.
823
00:28:15,928 --> 00:28:17,063
"Used to it"?
I'm paid for it.
824
00:28:17,129 --> 00:28:18,765
And what you don't
Understand...
825
00:28:18,831 --> 00:28:20,166
Don't tell me what
I don't understand!
826
00:28:20,232 --> 00:28:21,633
I'm not in my freshman
Year anymore.
827
00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:23,302
I understand more
Than you think.
828
00:28:23,369 --> 00:28:24,370
( knocking )
829
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,471
Carol:
C.J.?
Yeah.
830
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:27,740
Leo's on his way in.
831
00:28:27,807 --> 00:28:28,941
Thanks.
832
00:28:29,008 --> 00:28:30,709
What's going on
In the press room?
833
00:28:30,777 --> 00:28:32,011
It's a special event.
834
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:38,951
Good afternoon.
835
00:28:39,018 --> 00:28:41,754
I'll make this as quick
And direct as I can.
836
00:28:41,821 --> 00:28:44,190
Man:
Why are we
In the press room?
837
00:28:44,256 --> 00:28:45,724
This'll be pretty fast,
Stuart.
838
00:28:45,792 --> 00:28:47,760
Faster still
If I'm not interrupted.
839
00:28:47,827 --> 00:28:50,662
There's a chance
A debate is about to begin
840
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:53,565
Over the best way to fight
The drug problem in this country
841
00:28:53,632 --> 00:28:55,734
The white house, being among
Those who believe
842
00:28:55,802 --> 00:28:57,336
More money should be put
Into treatment;
843
00:28:57,403 --> 00:28:59,839
The people you work for
Being among those who believe
844
00:28:59,906 --> 00:29:01,440
We should put more money
Into prisons.
845
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:03,943
Is everyone with me so far?
846
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:07,313
Leo, why the
Seven of us?
847
00:29:07,379 --> 00:29:11,050
Dick, in july of '96,
Your boss's son was arrested
848
00:29:11,117 --> 00:29:14,053
For carrying 25 grams
Of cocaine.
849
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,655
That's a crime that usually
Carries, what, toby?
850
00:29:16,722 --> 00:29:18,057
Eight to 15 years.
851
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:19,926
And what did
The congressman's son get?
852
00:29:19,992 --> 00:29:22,061
Six months house arrest.
853
00:29:22,128 --> 00:29:24,763
Lynn, your boss's husband
Was caught
854
00:29:24,831 --> 00:29:26,799
Stealing vicodin
And percocet
855
00:29:26,866 --> 00:29:28,734
From the hospital
At which he served
856
00:29:28,801 --> 00:29:30,536
As chief of thoracic surgery.
857
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:33,405
The vicodin and percocet
Are schedule-two drugs
858
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:35,774
In the same legal category
As opium.
859
00:29:35,842 --> 00:29:37,743
What's the blue book value,
Toby?
860
00:29:37,810 --> 00:29:39,946
Each stolen pill
Carries a penalty
861
00:29:40,012 --> 00:29:42,014
Of one year in prison
And a monetary fine.
862
00:29:42,081 --> 00:29:43,515
And what did we have for
The congresswoman's husband?
863
00:29:43,582 --> 00:29:45,417
He went to
A pretrial diversion program.
864
00:29:45,484 --> 00:29:50,456
There's no longer
Any criminal record.
That's not bad.
865
00:29:50,522 --> 00:29:51,623
Leo, I...
866
00:29:51,690 --> 00:29:52,925
Stuart, yours is my favorite.
867
00:29:52,992 --> 00:29:55,561
Your boss has a daughter
Who was pulled over
868
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,596
With 31 grams of coke
869
00:29:57,663 --> 00:30:00,099
And charged with
Intent to deliver.
870
00:30:00,166 --> 00:30:02,768
Moreover, she'd just
Been indicted by
A federal grand jury
871
00:30:02,835 --> 00:30:05,737
In greenville, south carolina,
Along with 18 other people
872
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:08,607
For conspiracy to distribute.
873
00:30:08,674 --> 00:30:09,641
Toby?
874
00:30:09,708 --> 00:30:11,477
She paid a fine of $2,800
875
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:14,480
And forfeited the car
In which the drugs were found.
876
00:30:14,546 --> 00:30:17,149
Leo:
The president wants
A lively debate.
877
00:30:17,216 --> 00:30:20,019
He wants to hear opposition
878
00:30:20,086 --> 00:30:22,454
But he's not going
To stomach hypocrisy.
879
00:30:24,256 --> 00:30:27,226
We start hearings
"Soft on crime, soft on drugs"
880
00:30:27,293 --> 00:30:29,061
From any of the people
You work for
881
00:30:29,128 --> 00:30:32,498
We've got seven stories
Ready for page one.
882
00:30:32,564 --> 00:30:34,833
You're saber rattling.
883
00:30:34,901 --> 00:30:37,436
Here comes the white house
Press corps.
884
00:30:37,503 --> 00:30:39,338
Let's find out.
885
00:30:39,405 --> 00:30:40,739
We're done here.
886
00:30:40,806 --> 00:30:44,210
We play the full nine innings
At this level, stuart.
887
00:30:44,276 --> 00:30:46,612
Tell your friends about it.
888
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:49,081
Take your seats, please.
889
00:30:49,148 --> 00:30:50,950
C.J. Will start
The briefing.
890
00:30:51,017 --> 00:30:52,784
Can I tell you
Something?
891
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:54,320
Watching you guys
Do that--
892
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:55,421
It was a little fun.
893
00:30:55,487 --> 00:30:56,455
It was not fun.
894
00:30:56,522 --> 00:30:59,625
You should have
Had some pie.
895
00:30:59,691 --> 00:31:01,560
I have to get
Back to work
896
00:31:01,627 --> 00:31:03,729
And you being
A congresswoman
897
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:06,632
I'm sure you need
To be back out there
898
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:08,700
You know, screwing
The people.
899
00:31:08,767 --> 00:31:10,869
I should tell
You something.
900
00:31:10,937 --> 00:31:12,771
What?
901
00:31:12,838 --> 00:31:15,107
In the interest of
Full disclosure.
902
00:31:15,174 --> 00:31:16,175
What?
903
00:31:16,242 --> 00:31:18,077
The other night,
I was out on a date.
904
00:31:18,144 --> 00:31:19,578
We had a couple
Glasses of wine
905
00:31:19,645 --> 00:31:20,779
He pulled the car up
906
00:31:20,846 --> 00:31:22,148
Bumped the guy
Ahead of us.
907
00:31:22,214 --> 00:31:24,283
A cop was there and
Was going to give him
908
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:28,387
A blood-alcohol test,
But then he recognized me.
909
00:31:28,454 --> 00:31:29,455
That's fine.
910
00:31:29,521 --> 00:31:31,023
I'mjust saying.
911
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:32,358
You didn't say, "Officer,
I'm a member of congress.
912
00:31:32,424 --> 00:31:34,660
Isn't there anything
We can do about this?"
913
00:31:34,726 --> 00:31:36,462
No.
914
00:31:36,528 --> 00:31:37,964
Who were you out with?
915
00:31:38,030 --> 00:31:39,898
A guy named
Victor stipe.
916
00:31:39,966 --> 00:31:41,300
Executive advisor
For the orioles?
917
00:31:41,367 --> 00:31:42,001
Yeah.
918
00:31:42,068 --> 00:31:43,635
You went out on a date
919
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:48,040
With the executive
Advisor for the
Baltimore orioles?
920
00:31:48,107 --> 00:31:50,809
Toby, are you upset
That I went out on a date?
921
00:31:50,876 --> 00:31:53,145
Or are you upset that
I went out on a date
922
00:31:53,212 --> 00:31:56,915
With someone who plays
In the same division
As the yankees?
923
00:31:56,983 --> 00:31:59,618
Honest to god,
I'm not sure.
924
00:31:59,685 --> 00:32:01,720
Mandatory minimums, toby.
925
00:32:01,787 --> 00:32:02,888
What are you doing
Getting into cars
926
00:32:02,955 --> 00:32:04,023
With guys that have
Been drinking?
927
00:32:04,090 --> 00:32:05,657
That's what taxicabs
Are for.
928
00:32:05,724 --> 00:32:08,127
Also, I can still do that.
929
00:32:08,194 --> 00:32:09,996
You'd come pick me up
With a date?
930
00:32:10,062 --> 00:32:11,597
If he wasn't an oriole,
Absolutely--
931
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:13,032
Or a red sock.
932
00:32:13,099 --> 00:32:17,069
In fact, just date
The national league,
Would you?
933
00:32:17,136 --> 00:32:19,771
Toby, I'm not kidding.
934
00:32:19,838 --> 00:32:22,308
Mandatory minimums.
935
00:32:22,374 --> 00:32:24,643
Go away.
936
00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:27,213
It's good seeing you.
937
00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:33,852
Andy?
938
00:32:33,919 --> 00:32:35,921
Yeah?
939
00:32:35,988 --> 00:32:39,025
Let me have the pie.
940
00:32:45,597 --> 00:32:49,101
( sighing )
Oh...
941
00:33:08,554 --> 00:33:09,955
( knocking )
942
00:33:10,022 --> 00:33:11,590
Mr. President?
Yeah?
943
00:33:11,657 --> 00:33:12,391
Oh, you're in bed?
944
00:33:12,458 --> 00:33:15,661
Yeah.
945
00:33:15,727 --> 00:33:17,296
When I called, you were awake.
946
00:33:17,363 --> 00:33:19,465
Well, yeah, that's 'cause
I answered the phone.
947
00:33:19,531 --> 00:33:21,633
I was just coming by to talk.
It can wait.
948
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:23,469
What's on your mind?
949
00:33:23,535 --> 00:33:24,303
You sure?
950
00:33:24,370 --> 00:33:26,305
Yeah. I got to be up
951
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:28,674
In four hours anyway.
952
00:33:34,246 --> 00:33:35,447
( knocks )
953
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:36,248
Hey.
Hey.
954
00:33:36,315 --> 00:33:38,317
What are you doing?
955
00:33:38,384 --> 00:33:39,218
F.E.C.
956
00:33:39,285 --> 00:33:41,019
Where's the president?
957
00:33:41,087 --> 00:33:42,888
He went to the residence
About an hour ago.
958
00:33:42,954 --> 00:33:44,290
Okay.
959
00:33:44,356 --> 00:33:46,692
So, I couldn't help noticing
Coming over here
960
00:33:46,758 --> 00:33:48,927
That the light in joey lucas's
Office is on.
961
00:33:48,994 --> 00:33:49,928
She still here?
Yeah.
962
00:33:49,995 --> 00:33:51,263
Why you telling me?
963
00:33:51,330 --> 00:33:52,831
She's a fine-looking...
964
00:33:52,898 --> 00:33:53,832
Charlie.
Okay.
965
00:33:53,899 --> 00:33:55,101
Have a good night.
966
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:56,835
You give her
A little something.
967
00:33:56,902 --> 00:33:58,970
"Here, this is for you
'cause it's your first day.
968
00:33:59,037 --> 00:34:00,139
You don't know anybody."
969
00:34:00,206 --> 00:34:01,307
Bam-- you give it to her
970
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:02,641
You say something nice.
971
00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:03,675
See you tomorrow.
972
00:34:03,742 --> 00:34:05,611
Take it easy.
973
00:34:06,945 --> 00:34:07,879
Hey, charlie.
974
00:34:07,946 --> 00:34:09,148
Hey.
975
00:34:11,983 --> 00:34:13,219
Tell him what
You told me.
976
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:14,353
See, I still
Don't understand...
977
00:34:14,420 --> 00:34:15,787
Tell him what
You told me.
978
00:34:15,854 --> 00:34:17,723
Steve onorato came to see me
This afternoon.
979
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:19,091
We had lunch.
980
00:34:20,326 --> 00:34:21,593
Onorato came to you?
981
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:22,394
Yeah.
982
00:34:22,461 --> 00:34:24,096
Tell him
What he said.
983
00:34:24,163 --> 00:34:26,865
He said that if we dropped
F.E.C., he could
984
00:34:26,932 --> 00:34:28,334
Warm things up
For drugs.
985
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,269
( both snickering )
986
00:34:30,336 --> 00:34:31,937
I don't understand.
987
00:34:32,003 --> 00:34:34,706
He said that?
988
00:34:34,773 --> 00:34:36,442
He even pointed
Out to sam
989
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:40,045
That sam was working
On drugs for the white house.
990
00:34:40,112 --> 00:34:41,913
You've made the
Big time, sam.
991
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:42,881
What's going on?
992
00:34:42,948 --> 00:34:43,715
He knows about laurie.
993
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:45,117
What do you mean?
994
00:34:45,184 --> 00:34:46,385
He knows you're friends
With a call girl.
995
00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:47,819
What does that have
To do with anything?
996
00:34:47,886 --> 00:34:49,087
He wants to move you out
To the front of the field
997
00:34:49,155 --> 00:34:50,889
So he can drop
Laurie on you.
998
00:34:50,956 --> 00:34:52,891
Are you serious?
999
00:34:52,958 --> 00:34:54,193
Yeah.
1000
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:55,194
Are you serious?!
1001
00:34:55,261 --> 00:34:56,328
It's okay, sam.
1002
00:34:56,395 --> 00:34:57,729
You haven't done anything wrong.
1003
00:34:57,796 --> 00:34:59,165
Oh, I know I haven't done
Anything wrong.
1004
00:34:59,231 --> 00:35:00,532
Are you serious?
1005
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,067
We're serious.
Don't worry about it.
1006
00:35:02,134 --> 00:35:03,101
He...
1007
00:35:03,169 --> 00:35:04,170
Are you saying he...?
1008
00:35:04,236 --> 00:35:06,738
He tried to practice on my...?
1009
00:35:06,805 --> 00:35:08,407
Credulous simplicity?
1010
00:35:08,474 --> 00:35:09,541
Yeah.
1011
00:35:09,608 --> 00:35:10,609
Yeah.
1012
00:35:10,676 --> 00:35:12,110
I want to know what
I can do right now.
1013
00:35:12,178 --> 00:35:13,345
Sam...
1014
00:35:13,412 --> 00:35:14,513
No! Right now at 11:35.
1015
00:35:14,580 --> 00:35:15,647
I want to know
What I can do.
1016
00:35:15,714 --> 00:35:16,815
Take it easy.
1017
00:35:16,882 --> 00:35:17,816
I won't take it easy!
1018
00:35:17,883 --> 00:35:19,017
Give me the phone.
1019
00:35:19,084 --> 00:35:20,118
I'm going to call
A senator
1020
00:35:20,186 --> 00:35:21,453
And I'm going
To tell him
1021
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,289
He can shove his legislative
Agenda up his ass!
1022
00:35:23,355 --> 00:35:24,190
I've already done that.
1023
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:25,224
I'll do it again.
1024
00:35:25,291 --> 00:35:26,892
You know what this is like?
1025
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:29,261
This is like the godfather
When pacino tells james caan
1026
00:35:29,328 --> 00:35:30,829
That he's going to kill the cop.
1027
00:35:30,896 --> 00:35:32,097
It's a lot like that scene
1028
00:35:32,164 --> 00:35:34,200
Only not really.
1029
00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:36,001
Did leo go home?
1030
00:35:36,067 --> 00:35:37,969
He's still around
Here somewhere.
1031
00:35:38,036 --> 00:35:39,070
He's in the residence.
1032
00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:40,839
It is like that scene.
1033
00:35:40,906 --> 00:35:41,973
I'm james caan
1034
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:42,974
You're al pacino.
1035
00:35:43,041 --> 00:35:44,243
Let's go.
1036
00:35:44,310 --> 00:35:45,877
Toby, you're the guy
Who shows pacino how
1037
00:35:45,944 --> 00:35:46,878
To make tomato sauce.
1038
00:35:46,945 --> 00:35:47,879
Let's go.
1039
00:35:47,946 --> 00:35:49,315
I'm right behind.
1040
00:35:49,381 --> 00:35:52,384
I'm going to pick up
The late wires.
1041
00:36:06,632 --> 00:36:07,633
Hello.
1042
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:08,767
Hi.
1043
00:36:08,834 --> 00:36:09,768
Hey, kenny.
1044
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,169
Hey, josh.
1045
00:36:11,237 --> 00:36:12,671
Saw a light was on.
You guys are here late.
1046
00:36:14,773 --> 00:36:16,642
I wanted to give you
A first-look analysis
1047
00:36:16,708 --> 00:36:18,977
In the morning.
1048
00:36:19,044 --> 00:36:20,612
There's really
Some decent models
1049
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:22,113
In marin county
And the bay area
1050
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:25,984
But san jose is a mess
And so is orange county
1051
00:36:26,051 --> 00:36:28,153
Long beach, anaheim,
And san diego.
1052
00:36:28,220 --> 00:36:31,189
I brought you a coffee mug.
1053
00:36:31,923 --> 00:36:33,492
Why?
1054
00:36:33,559 --> 00:36:36,462
Just as a thing--
'cause you don't know anybody.
1055
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:38,964
It's got a picture
Of the white house.
1056
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:42,501
It says,
"The white house."
1057
00:36:42,568 --> 00:36:46,238
Seal of the president.
1058
00:36:46,305 --> 00:36:48,507
It's a white house
Coffee mug.
1059
00:36:50,175 --> 00:36:52,844
Thank you.
1060
00:36:52,911 --> 00:36:55,213
Kenny, can you give us
A second?
1061
00:36:55,281 --> 00:36:56,582
Oh, sure.
1062
00:36:56,648 --> 00:36:58,717
I'm going
To step outside.
1063
00:37:02,588 --> 00:37:05,491
I wore this suit
Special today.
1064
00:37:07,626 --> 00:37:09,761
This isn't my regular
Tuesday suit.
1065
00:37:13,465 --> 00:37:15,967
You have
A regular tuesday suit?
1066
00:37:16,034 --> 00:37:17,969
No.
1067
00:37:20,672 --> 00:37:22,308
For me?
1068
00:37:24,075 --> 00:37:26,244
Yes.
1069
00:37:30,582 --> 00:37:32,751
So...
1070
00:37:32,818 --> 00:37:35,287
Okay, I got to go.
1071
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:43,662
So...
1072
00:37:43,729 --> 00:37:44,696
I don't want
1073
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:47,265
To belabor the
Point, though.
1074
00:37:47,333 --> 00:37:50,402
I do think that this is
Understandable.
1075
00:37:50,469 --> 00:37:53,004
I feel a little self-conscious
1076
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:54,640
Coming down the mountain
On drugs
1077
00:37:54,706 --> 00:37:57,976
Two months after I announced
I was a recovering drug addict.
1078
00:37:58,043 --> 00:38:02,314
What do you think?
1079
00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:03,815
About what?
1080
00:38:03,882 --> 00:38:05,150
What I just said.
1081
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:08,354
Well, I wasn't listening
To a lot of it.
1082
00:38:08,420 --> 00:38:09,555
Sir...
1083
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:10,489
Leo...
1084
00:38:10,556 --> 00:38:12,257
If there's anyone qualified
1085
00:38:12,324 --> 00:38:14,460
To talk about the benefits
Of treatment
1086
00:38:14,526 --> 00:38:16,495
Versus criminal action,
It's you.
1087
00:38:16,562 --> 00:38:19,465
Is there anyone whose life
Would be better right now
1088
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:20,432
If you'd gone to jail
1089
00:38:20,499 --> 00:38:22,634
Instead of rehab?
1090
00:38:22,701 --> 00:38:24,102
No.
1091
00:38:24,169 --> 00:38:25,103
Thank you.
1092
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:27,439
Is there anything else?
1093
00:38:27,506 --> 00:38:29,307
Apparently there is.
1094
00:38:29,375 --> 00:38:30,442
Mr. President.
Yeah?
1095
00:38:30,509 --> 00:38:31,943
I'm sorry.
I heard leo was here.
1096
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:32,711
I assumed
You were awake.
1097
00:38:32,778 --> 00:38:34,446
I am.
1098
00:38:34,513 --> 00:38:35,947
I hadn't seen you all day.
1099
00:38:36,014 --> 00:38:38,116
I just wanted
To apologize for the gaffe
1100
00:38:38,183 --> 00:38:39,518
At the briefing last night.
1101
00:38:39,585 --> 00:38:41,353
You fixed it
This afternoon, right?
1102
00:38:41,420 --> 00:38:42,220
Yeah.
1103
00:38:42,287 --> 00:38:43,188
Then let's move on.
1104
00:38:43,254 --> 00:38:44,623
I do apologize, sir.
1105
00:38:44,690 --> 00:38:47,393
No need to apologize,
But I accept your apology
1106
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:49,395
And now I'm ready,
If not eager to move on.
1107
00:38:49,461 --> 00:38:50,462
Mr. President?
1108
00:38:50,529 --> 00:38:51,597
How you doing?
1109
00:38:51,663 --> 00:38:53,031
You were sleeping?
1110
00:38:53,098 --> 00:38:54,566
Not for a little while now.
1111
00:38:54,633 --> 00:38:56,835
This is great, mr. President,
Because usually you have
1112
00:38:56,902 --> 00:38:59,304
A hard time getting to sleep
Before 1:00 or 2:00.
1113
00:38:59,371 --> 00:39:00,672
Not tonight.
1114
00:39:00,739 --> 00:39:01,640
That's got to feel good, sir.
1115
00:39:01,707 --> 00:39:03,041
Guys, let me tell you
1116
00:39:03,108 --> 00:39:04,976
What I would like
To have happen right now.
1117
00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:06,778
Good evening, mr. President.
1118
00:39:06,845 --> 00:39:09,481
Josh walking in the door
Wasn't even close.
1119
00:39:09,548 --> 00:39:10,849
How you doing tonight?
1120
00:39:10,916 --> 00:39:12,451
I'm fine, thanks, josh.
How you doing?
1121
00:39:12,518 --> 00:39:16,655
Good. I gave joey lucas
A coffee mug.
1122
00:39:16,722 --> 00:39:18,156
She doesn't know
Anybody here
1123
00:39:18,223 --> 00:39:19,425
And she's already
Working hard
1124
00:39:19,491 --> 00:39:21,126
She's very committed.
1125
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:24,362
I think I did the right thing.
1126
00:39:24,430 --> 00:39:28,400
See, the part I don't understand
Is I got, like, 24 armed guards
1127
00:39:28,467 --> 00:39:30,201
Right outside my bedroom door.
1128
00:39:30,268 --> 00:39:32,370
Mr. President, after a day
Of meetings
1129
00:39:32,438 --> 00:39:34,305
Are you any closer
To a decision on drugs?
1130
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,808
I'm a day closer.
1131
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:38,844
There'll be more
Meetings tomorrow.
1132
00:39:38,910 --> 00:39:41,012
In the meantime,
Everybody calm down.
1133
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:44,115
Leo's got your engines fired
Like you're running daytona.
1134
00:39:44,182 --> 00:39:45,250
That's fine.
1135
00:39:45,316 --> 00:39:46,552
Keep them there.
1136
00:39:46,618 --> 00:39:47,819
Guess what?
1137
00:39:47,886 --> 00:39:49,821
Mistakes are going to be made.
1138
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:52,190
Minimize them.
Fix them, move on.
1139
00:39:52,257 --> 00:39:54,192
Kiefer's numbers got you scared.
1140
00:39:54,259 --> 00:39:56,462
Listen to me.
1141
00:39:56,528 --> 00:39:59,798
I have never lost an election
In my life.
1142
00:39:59,865 --> 00:40:03,602
We do this right,
People are going to respond.
1143
00:40:03,669 --> 00:40:05,236
You all had a good day.
1144
00:40:05,303 --> 00:40:06,572
Josh:
We should go.
1145
00:40:06,638 --> 00:40:07,606
Leave you now.
1146
00:40:07,673 --> 00:40:09,140
You guys should
Feel free
1147
00:40:09,207 --> 00:40:10,642
To do this when my wife is here.
1148
00:40:10,709 --> 00:40:11,843
( all chuckle )
1149
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:13,645
Sam:
Sir, something
Has come up
1150
00:40:13,712 --> 00:40:15,581
And frankly, it's got me
As hot as a pistol.
1151
00:40:15,647 --> 00:40:18,183
Apparently...
Sam?
1152
00:40:18,249 --> 00:40:22,287
We can talk about this tomorrow.
1153
00:40:22,353 --> 00:40:23,522
Everybody...
1154
00:40:23,589 --> 00:40:25,190
Mandy was doing her job.
1155
00:40:25,256 --> 00:40:27,358
It's time to let her
Out of the doghouse.
1156
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:28,727
That's me.
She was doing her job.
1157
00:40:28,794 --> 00:40:30,128
C.J.?
1158
00:40:30,195 --> 00:40:31,229
Yes, sir.
1159
00:40:31,296 --> 00:40:32,831
So was danny.
1160
00:40:32,898 --> 00:40:33,965
Yes, sir.
1161
00:40:34,032 --> 00:40:35,366
Good night.
1162
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:37,536
Good night,
Mr. President.
1163
00:40:37,603 --> 00:40:38,537
Mr. President?
1164
00:40:38,604 --> 00:40:40,672
We were almost done.
1165
00:40:40,739 --> 00:40:45,844
I... Met with congresswoman
Wyatt today.
1166
00:40:45,911 --> 00:40:47,312
When you were married to her
1167
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:49,347
Did you call her
Congresswoman wyatt?
1168
00:40:49,414 --> 00:40:52,383
No, sir.
1169
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:55,353
Sometimes I call
My wife "Dr. Bartlett."
1170
00:40:55,420 --> 00:41:00,726
No, I call her "Andy"
Or "Andrea."
1171
00:41:00,792 --> 00:41:01,527
Okay.
1172
00:41:01,593 --> 00:41:02,661
Mandatory minimums.
1173
00:41:02,728 --> 00:41:03,929
You're whupped, my friend.
1174
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:05,163
Sir?
1175
00:41:05,230 --> 00:41:07,132
No, she's been talking
To you for a year
1176
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:08,233
About mandatory minimums.
1177
00:41:08,299 --> 00:41:09,668
You've been saying no
1178
00:41:09,735 --> 00:41:11,537
But it looks like we know
Who wears the pants
1179
00:41:11,603 --> 00:41:12,971
In the ziegler family.
1180
00:41:13,038 --> 00:41:15,040
You call your wife
"Dr. Bartlet."
1181
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:17,242
Just for the turn-on.
1182
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:20,211
( snickering )
1183
00:41:20,278 --> 00:41:21,312
Uh, the thing is
She's right.
1184
00:41:21,379 --> 00:41:22,681
Andy?
1185
00:41:22,748 --> 00:41:24,816
Mandatory minimums
Are considerably higher
1186
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:26,251
For crack than for
Powdered cocaine.
1187
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:27,653
Yes.
1188
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,155
The vast majority
Of crack users are black.
1189
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:32,658
The vast majority
Of drug users are white.
1190
00:41:32,724 --> 00:41:35,460
The mandatory minimums
Are racist.
1191
00:41:35,527 --> 00:41:36,695
Yes, they are.
1192
00:41:36,762 --> 00:41:38,129
Should be part
Of the discussion.
1193
00:41:38,196 --> 00:41:40,532
And it will be.
1194
00:41:42,033 --> 00:41:43,935
Good.
1195
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:45,871
Good night.
1196
00:41:45,937 --> 00:41:47,973
Good night.
Good night.
1197
00:41:53,144 --> 00:41:55,647
I'm sleeping better.
1198
00:41:55,714 --> 00:42:00,819
And when I sleep I dream
About a great discussion
1199
00:42:00,886 --> 00:42:06,758
With experts and ideas
And diction and energy
And honesty
1200
00:42:06,825 --> 00:42:09,728
And when I wake up
I think...
1201
00:42:09,795 --> 00:42:11,730
"I can sell that."
1202
00:42:14,900 --> 00:42:16,267
Good night,
Mr. President.
1203
00:42:16,334 --> 00:42:17,535
Good night.
1204
00:42:43,261 --> 00:42:45,163
( sighs )
