00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:06,107
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:08,008
LEO:
Ever see
Arnie Vinick campaign?
3
00:00:08,042 --> 00:00:10,678
He'll go into those high school
gymnasiums in Iowa
4
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:11,679
and blow them
all away.
5
00:00:11,712 --> 00:00:13,181
You're right,
I let Russell seduce me
6
00:00:13,214 --> 00:00:14,415
with mindless perks
like a salary
7
00:00:14,448 --> 00:00:16,884
and actual
political support.
8
00:00:16,917 --> 00:00:19,687
And what make-work job
do they even have you
doing over there?
9
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,356
Media targeting
for the Northeast
and Pacific Northwest
10
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:24,192
WILL:
You have to care who's going
to sit in that chair
11
00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:25,393
after Jed Bartlet is gone.
12
00:00:25,426 --> 00:00:27,528
I do.
13
00:00:27,561 --> 00:00:29,530
That's why I don't want
Bob Russell to be President.
14
00:00:29,563 --> 00:00:31,165
I'm going to give
the big speeches,
15
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:32,633
and I'm going to
push every limit,
16
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:34,302
and that's the campaign
you get to run.
17
00:00:40,608 --> 00:00:43,077
* I go out walking
18
00:00:43,111 --> 00:00:44,778
* After midnight
19
00:00:44,812 --> 00:00:50,284
* Out in the moonlight,
just like we used to do *
20
00:00:50,318 --> 00:00:52,019
* I'm always walking
21
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:59,627
* After midnight,
searching for you... *
22
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:00,828
TREVOR:
You gonna need me
in the morning?
23
00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:02,863
DONNA:
I'll call Mindy if I do.
24
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:03,864
Okay.
25
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,534
Thanks.
26
00:01:09,803 --> 00:01:10,771
Hey.
27
00:01:10,804 --> 00:01:13,607
Anything for 412?
28
00:01:13,641 --> 00:01:15,143
( sighs )
29
00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:17,311
Mr. Bailey's still
in the cafe.
30
00:01:17,345 --> 00:01:18,912
Thanks.
31
00:01:18,946 --> 00:01:20,614
Good night.
32
00:01:20,648 --> 00:01:22,116
5:45 wake-up call?
33
00:01:22,150 --> 00:01:23,917
Yeah, or you could
just have someone
34
00:01:23,951 --> 00:01:25,753
come to my room and
hit me over the head
35
00:01:25,786 --> 00:01:27,821
with a mallet
or something.
36
00:01:27,855 --> 00:01:30,458
WILL:
We got a name for
the hog roasts yet?
37
00:01:30,491 --> 00:01:32,326
CHRISTINE:
Um, pig out with Bob?
38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,894
ROGER:
Hey, how was
South Carolina?
39
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:34,995
Southern.
40
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:36,830
WILL:
How'd the donor
conferences go?
41
00:01:36,864 --> 00:01:38,166
Heard a couple
hundred ideas
42
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:39,833
about how Democrats
can take back the South
43
00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:41,869
and scooped up
the checks.
44
00:01:41,902 --> 00:01:43,137
Don't be a tease...
45
00:01:43,171 --> 00:01:44,205
Half a million.
46
00:01:44,238 --> 00:01:45,406
Wow!
Hey.
Nice!
47
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:46,907
DONNA:
When's the VP
coming in?
48
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,576
Air Force 2 is
wheels down at 9:30.
49
00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:50,344
Where do you want me?
WILL:
We need to pack the stage
50
00:01:50,378 --> 00:01:51,412
for Thursday's Debate
with five
51
00:01:51,445 --> 00:01:52,613
or six fringe candidates.
52
00:01:52,646 --> 00:01:53,847
Christine'll help you.
53
00:01:53,881 --> 00:01:56,684
We've got, uh, two recently
released federal inmates,
54
00:01:56,717 --> 00:01:59,520
uh, an airline mechanic,
two men over the age of 80,
55
00:01:59,553 --> 00:02:01,088
comedian, a nun.
56
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:02,590
Don't forget
Jennifer James.
57
00:02:02,623 --> 00:02:03,891
Porn star.
That girl's
got talent.
58
00:02:03,924 --> 00:02:05,193
And stamina.
One guy's
entire platform
59
00:02:05,226 --> 00:02:06,560
is, uh, a tax cut
for anyone who
60
00:02:06,594 --> 00:02:07,928
adopts a pet and has
them neutered.
61
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,430
And why do we want
them in the debates,
62
00:02:09,463 --> 00:02:10,864
aside from, you know,
the neutering thing?
63
00:02:10,898 --> 00:02:13,133
WILL:
Hoynes was hoping to be alone
on that stage with the VP.
64
00:02:13,167 --> 00:02:14,335
The more wackos we put
65
00:02:14,368 --> 00:02:15,369
around him, the
more Hoynes looks
66
00:02:15,403 --> 00:02:16,370
like just another clown.
67
00:02:16,404 --> 00:02:18,739
Okay, morning staff
at 6:30.
68
00:02:18,772 --> 00:02:21,409
( "Walking After Midnight"
playing )
69
00:02:21,442 --> 00:02:23,777
( Will clears throat )
70
00:02:23,811 --> 00:02:25,112
WILL:
How was it?
71
00:02:25,145 --> 00:02:27,781
Good. Pool in Charleston
was nice.
72
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:28,782
You had time
to swim?
73
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:29,783
No, but it looked nice.
74
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:30,851
We really going
to call them
75
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:32,119
Bob's Boulders?
76
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,521
They keep signing
those checks,
77
00:02:33,554 --> 00:02:36,257
I don't care if they
call themselves the
Flying Wallendas.
78
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:38,292
Half a million.
79
00:02:38,326 --> 00:02:41,028
Not bad for two days of
rolling with the Boulders.
80
00:02:41,061 --> 00:02:43,231
Night.
81
00:02:43,264 --> 00:02:47,935
* The old hometown
looks the same *
82
00:02:47,968 --> 00:02:51,905
* As I step down
from the train *
83
00:02:51,939 --> 00:02:57,177
* And there to meet me
is my mama and my papa... *
84
00:02:57,211 --> 00:02:58,646
( sighs )
85
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:00,681
JOSH:
Uh, can you hold the elevator?
86
00:03:00,714 --> 00:03:01,815
I'm sorry, I didn't...
87
00:03:01,849 --> 00:03:02,983
Yeah, uh, if we
can't afford
88
00:03:03,016 --> 00:03:04,485
at least 200 points
out of Boston,
89
00:03:04,518 --> 00:03:05,886
we got to find
another way.
90
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,788
* ...hair of gold
and lips like cherries... *
91
00:03:07,821 --> 00:03:11,158
Stuart, will you, uh,
call me back in five?
92
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:13,327
I'm sorry, I couldn't
find the button.
Right.
93
00:03:13,361 --> 00:03:16,497
No... Uh, will
you hit four?
94
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,603
* The old house
is still standing *
95
00:03:22,636 --> 00:03:26,307
* Though the paint
is cracked and dry *
96
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:30,143
* And there's that old oak tree
that I used... *
97
00:03:30,177 --> 00:03:31,679
Just get back?
98
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:33,213
Yeah. South Carolina.
99
00:03:34,248 --> 00:03:35,849
How's it going for
you guys down there?
100
00:03:35,883 --> 00:03:37,985
We're closing in
on Hoynes.
101
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:42,523
You?
102
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:45,993
We're focusing on New
Hampshire right now.
103
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:48,696
( sighs )
104
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,401
( elevator dings )
105
00:03:53,434 --> 00:03:54,835
( doors opening )
106
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:58,739
( sighs )
107
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:01,675
* ...smiling sweetly
108
00:04:01,709 --> 00:04:06,079
* It's good to touch the green,
green grass of home... *
109
00:04:06,113 --> 00:04:08,048
So, where did you stay
110
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:10,351
in South Carolina?
111
00:04:10,384 --> 00:04:12,553
Marriott, Charleston.
112
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:15,122
Oh, they got that
nice looking pool.
113
00:04:15,155 --> 00:04:18,792
* ...four gray walls
surround me *
114
00:04:18,826 --> 00:04:21,595
* And then I realize
115
00:04:21,629 --> 00:04:25,232
* I was only dreaming...
116
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,067
( sighs )
117
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,202
So... good night.
118
00:04:29,236 --> 00:04:32,373
Yeah. See you.
119
00:04:32,406 --> 00:04:36,276
* ...arm in arm, we'll walk
at daybreak *
120
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:38,412
* Again I'll touch...
121
00:04:38,446 --> 00:04:40,881
You're doing
it too fast.
122
00:04:42,115 --> 00:04:44,418
I get... I get
frequent flyer miles
123
00:04:44,452 --> 00:04:46,787
every time I swipe it...
124
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:51,559
Thank you.
125
00:04:51,592 --> 00:04:53,961
So much for
the Bermuda trip.
126
00:04:55,162 --> 00:04:59,767
* The green, green grass
of home... *
127
00:05:02,770 --> 00:05:05,072
( groans )
128
00:05:14,782 --> 00:05:18,285
* ...arm in arm,
we walk at daybreak *
129
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:20,020
( door closing
inside Donna's room )
130
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:25,793
* Again, I touch the green,
green grass of home *
131
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:30,798
* Yes, they'll all come
to see me *
132
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:35,035
* In the shade
of the old oak tree *
133
00:05:35,068 --> 00:05:42,376
* As they lay me 'neath the
green, green grass of home... *
134
00:06:42,536 --> 00:06:44,337
( groans gently )
135
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:45,539
Yeah?
136
00:06:45,573 --> 00:06:49,943
FEMALE VOICE:
Good morning. It's 5:45 a.m.
137
00:07:01,722 --> 00:07:04,391
Carlie Farkula,
a 22-year-old Turkish woman
138
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:06,894
who was sexually involved
with a coworker
139
00:07:06,927 --> 00:07:09,930
was convicted of adultery
this morning.
140
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,565
She's been sentenced to death
for her crime.
141
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:15,435
The conviction of the young
woman comes at a precarious time
142
00:07:15,469 --> 00:07:18,138
for Turkey, who has,
until recently, enacted reforms
143
00:07:18,171 --> 00:07:23,110
aimed at preparing the country
for European Union membership.
144
00:07:23,143 --> 00:07:24,878
However, EU officials say
145
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:27,615
the execution of Miss Farkula
would be
146
00:07:27,648 --> 00:07:31,619
a major obstacle to Turkey's
future inclusion in the EU.
147
00:07:31,652 --> 00:07:33,854
Meanwhile, Bartlet
Administration officials
148
00:07:33,887 --> 00:07:36,356
stressed that while they're
saddened by Turkey's decision
149
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:38,792
to allow the execution
to go forward,
150
00:07:38,826 --> 00:07:41,194
the United States
remains committed
151
00:07:41,228 --> 00:07:43,497
to strengthening ties
with Turkey.
152
00:07:43,531 --> 00:07:45,699
ROGER:
American Legion
Pancake breakfast,
153
00:07:45,733 --> 00:07:46,734
followed by
brief remarks
154
00:07:46,767 --> 00:07:48,502
at the opening
of the new field office
155
00:07:48,536 --> 00:07:49,570
in Des Moines.
156
00:07:49,603 --> 00:07:50,771
It's going to be five degrees
157
00:07:50,804 --> 00:07:52,339
with wind chill.
Bus ride to
Centerville,
158
00:07:52,372 --> 00:07:54,241
then on to the Iowa
Corn Growers speech.
159
00:07:54,274 --> 00:07:56,510
Where are we on
the ethanol speech?
VP loves ethanol.
160
00:07:56,544 --> 00:07:57,410
Showers in it every morning.
161
00:07:57,444 --> 00:07:58,879
CHRISTINE:
Comment on Turkey?
162
00:07:58,912 --> 00:08:00,013
WILL:
What's the
President saying?
163
00:08:00,047 --> 00:08:02,082
"Saddened. Committed
to strengthening ties."
164
00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:03,884
Wile the Vice
President...
Saddened? They're going to
165
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:05,519
behead her for sleeping
with a coworker.
166
00:08:05,553 --> 00:08:07,220
WILL:
Who's got the wonderful
world of corn?
167
00:08:07,254 --> 00:08:09,890
That'd be me-- Iowa Corn Growers
Expo is a nonpartisan event
168
00:08:09,923 --> 00:08:11,625
sponsored
by the Iowa Farm League.
Nonpartisan?
169
00:08:11,659 --> 00:08:12,860
What's that?
Well, the Expo offers
170
00:08:12,893 --> 00:08:14,695
an excellent
opportunity to
address farmers,
171
00:08:14,728 --> 00:08:16,697
corn growers,
crop consultants
172
00:08:16,730 --> 00:08:18,532
and seed corn reps
on a variety of issues,
173
00:08:18,566 --> 00:08:21,234
including the economy,
farm subsidies,
174
00:08:21,268 --> 00:08:22,570
trade, biotechnology,
175
00:08:22,603 --> 00:08:23,871
ethanol and an
alternative fuel.
176
00:08:23,904 --> 00:08:25,372
Now, we're sure Hoynes
is going to flip?
177
00:08:25,405 --> 00:08:26,674
Believe me,
Hoynes is taking
178
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:27,908
the ethanol pledge.
179
00:08:27,941 --> 00:08:29,810
This is a guy who,
if he was speaking to a group
180
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:31,211
of cannibals, would promise
'em missionaries.
181
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:33,113
ROGER:
Think we'll be able
to find some corn?
182
00:08:33,146 --> 00:08:34,715
HOWARD:
Corn fritters,
corn pudding,
183
00:08:34,748 --> 00:08:36,149
corn flambé,
corn souffle,
184
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:38,251
Creole corn,
country-fried corn,
185
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:39,219
peanut butter
corn cakes,
186
00:08:39,252 --> 00:08:41,655
and Huitlacoche.
187
00:08:41,689 --> 00:08:43,523
It's like a corn smut.
It's a sweet corn fungus.
188
00:08:43,557 --> 00:08:44,758
They give it to pigs
in the States.
189
00:08:44,792 --> 00:08:46,393
It's actually a delicacy
in South America.
190
00:08:46,426 --> 00:08:47,661
Well, no
need to stop
191
00:08:47,695 --> 00:08:50,230
for lunch today--
everybody fill up on corn smut
192
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:51,599
at the Jefferson
Cow Barn.
193
00:08:51,632 --> 00:08:53,266
All right, five days
till the Caucuses,
194
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:54,868
19 days to New Hampshire.
195
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:59,406
WILL:
You two heading out on your, uh,
196
00:08:59,439 --> 00:09:00,641
"Beyond the Fringe" world tour?
197
00:09:00,674 --> 00:09:02,910
First stop, Peter Burton--
he wants the military
198
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:04,812
to occupy our schools
to prevent gun violence.
199
00:09:04,845 --> 00:09:06,446
M-1 Abrahms
tank seems like
a worthwhile
200
00:09:06,479 --> 00:09:07,615
truancy deterrent.
201
00:09:07,648 --> 00:09:09,783
120-mm cannon'd blow
the training wheels
202
00:09:09,817 --> 00:09:11,785
right off any tardy
sixth grader's bike.
203
00:09:11,819 --> 00:09:13,420
Tough on cafeteria
linoleum.
204
00:09:13,453 --> 00:09:14,788
Hey, swing by the Expo.
205
00:09:14,822 --> 00:09:16,990
Bob'll want to thank you
for looking at that pool.
206
00:09:20,327 --> 00:09:21,561
DONNA:
We can skip this next one.
207
00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:22,763
He went to a federal prison
208
00:09:22,796 --> 00:09:24,397
for three years for refusing
to pay income tax.
209
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:25,599
You ever been to one
210
00:09:25,633 --> 00:09:26,600
of these crazy caucuses, Trevor?
211
00:09:26,634 --> 00:09:27,868
Yeah, my, uh,
grandmother
212
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:29,870
runs one down at her church
every four years.
213
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:31,538
You don't think it's weird
your out-of-the-way,
214
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,539
nickel-and-dime,
penny-ante state
215
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:33,540
gets to go first?
216
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:35,175
Well, we-we
always go first.
217
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:37,210
Yeah, and why is that?
Iowa's first because it's first.
218
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:38,478
CHRISTINE:
Says who?
219
00:09:38,511 --> 00:09:39,579
We should check
this Craig guy out.
220
00:09:39,613 --> 00:09:40,881
So, you don't
think Californians
221
00:09:40,914 --> 00:09:42,683
should get to meet the
candidates down at the Barstow
222
00:09:42,716 --> 00:09:43,817
Dairy Queen?
We're not a bunch
223
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:45,285
of politically
spoiled farm hands.
224
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:46,419
Look, we take the
responsibility
225
00:09:46,453 --> 00:09:47,755
of screening the
Presidential candidates
226
00:09:47,788 --> 00:09:48,856
for the rest of the
nation very seriously.
227
00:09:48,889 --> 00:09:49,990
Guy wins Iowa,
all it means
228
00:09:50,023 --> 00:09:51,825
is he's learned
how to speak intelligently
229
00:09:51,859 --> 00:09:53,426
about soybeans
and farm implements.
230
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:55,863
( clears throat ):
Here we are; this
is the Burtons here.
231
00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:10,243
CHRISTINE:
Maybe we should've
called first.
232
00:10:11,511 --> 00:10:13,180
WILL:
Good flight in?
233
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,147
RUSSELL:
Uh, slept.
234
00:10:14,181 --> 00:10:16,049
First stop's
a pancake breakfast?
235
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:17,350
I love pancakes.
236
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:20,353
WILL:
The Sun Times wants
a statement on farm subsidies.
237
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:21,822
RUSSELL:
Uh, the family farm
238
00:10:21,855 --> 00:10:23,691
is the backbone
of America.
239
00:10:23,724 --> 00:10:25,025
Think they were looking
for something
240
00:10:25,058 --> 00:10:26,727
a bit more substantial.
Well, what do
they expect?
241
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,829
I'm going to come
out against farm
subsidies in Iowa?
242
00:10:28,862 --> 00:10:31,364
Oppose manhole covers
in Manhattan?
243
00:10:31,398 --> 00:10:32,700
WILL:
We'll give 'em
the boilerplate.
244
00:10:32,733 --> 00:10:34,501
It's a tragedy
about that woman in Turkey.
245
00:10:34,534 --> 00:10:35,669
We issue a statement?
246
00:10:35,703 --> 00:10:36,837
WILL:
You deplore it.
247
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:38,038
That's good to know.
248
00:10:38,071 --> 00:10:39,306
And you support
President Bartlet's efforts
249
00:10:39,339 --> 00:10:42,375
to strengthen ties
with an important regional ally.
250
00:10:42,409 --> 00:10:43,911
This morning's finance report:
251
00:10:43,944 --> 00:10:45,545
$8.2 million,
cash in hand.
252
00:10:45,578 --> 00:10:46,814
That ought to buy
a few lawn signs.
253
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:47,881
And the lawns to go with 'em.
254
00:10:47,915 --> 00:10:48,949
ROGER:
Got a minute
for some donors?
255
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:50,383
Irwin Drucker
and his wife, Eileen
256
00:10:50,417 --> 00:10:51,919
have a daughter, Susan,
at LSU.
257
00:10:51,952 --> 00:10:53,721
Peter Mosby--
he's in insurance.
258
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:55,488
RUSSELL:
Uh, sorry I got stuck
in the back
259
00:10:55,522 --> 00:10:56,724
talking to
the White House.
260
00:10:56,757 --> 00:10:58,692
Irwin, Eileen, how's
your daughter, Susan, doing
261
00:10:58,726 --> 00:10:59,860
at, uh, LSU?
262
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:02,730
DONNA
Mr. Edgars, uh, your
platform would allow
263
00:11:02,763 --> 00:11:05,098
all citizens to carry
a concealed weapon?
264
00:11:05,132 --> 00:11:06,233
Not allow. Require.
265
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:07,768
And you don't think
that might lead to...
266
00:11:07,801 --> 00:11:09,703
well, anarchy?
267
00:11:09,737 --> 00:11:11,772
What we got now is anarchy.
268
00:11:11,805 --> 00:11:14,474
An armed citizenry
will take back our cities,
269
00:11:14,507 --> 00:11:16,343
our parks, our schools
270
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:18,111
and our highways.
271
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:22,783
* How I been happy lately
thinking 'bout days to come *
272
00:11:22,816 --> 00:11:27,187
* And I believe it could be
something good has begun *
273
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:30,758
* Oh, peace train,
sounding louder *
274
00:11:30,791 --> 00:11:33,593
* Glide on the peace train
275
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:35,763
* Peace train will take
this country *
276
00:11:35,796 --> 00:11:41,969
* Take me home again.
277
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:44,637
RUSSELL:
You try those
278
00:11:44,671 --> 00:11:45,638
pepper sausages?
279
00:11:45,672 --> 00:11:47,274
Damn, those things
were hot.
280
00:11:47,307 --> 00:11:50,477
Somebody get me a quart of milk
and a bucket of sand.
281
00:11:50,510 --> 00:11:51,845
Paul Durett and his
wife, Mimi; Sam Skok
282
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:53,113
and his son, David.
283
00:11:53,146 --> 00:11:54,982
Hey, y'all, I'm just going
to step back,
284
00:11:55,015 --> 00:11:56,349
take my coat off--
I'll be right back.
285
00:11:56,383 --> 00:11:57,450
Roger, uh, make sure
286
00:11:57,484 --> 00:11:59,252
everybody's
got something to
drink, all right?
287
00:11:59,286 --> 00:12:00,120
You get a chance
to look
288
00:12:00,153 --> 00:12:01,654
at the ethanol speech
on the plane?
289
00:12:01,688 --> 00:12:03,190
Yeah, seems fine.
Who else is speaking?
290
00:12:03,223 --> 00:12:05,658
Hoynes before
you, Clarkson and
Santos after you.
291
00:12:05,692 --> 00:12:06,626
The Republicans go tonight.
292
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:08,328
You think Arnie's
going to say
293
00:12:08,361 --> 00:12:10,697
ethanol's a
colossal waste of
the taxpayers' money?
294
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:11,799
Thanks, Shelley.
295
00:12:11,832 --> 00:12:13,834
WILL:
Vinick'll flip. Has to.
296
00:12:13,867 --> 00:12:15,869
( sighs ):
I was in the Senate
297
00:12:15,903 --> 00:12:17,805
last time he made
his anti-ethanol speech.
298
00:12:17,838 --> 00:12:20,040
Whew. Passionate.
299
00:12:20,073 --> 00:12:21,809
Had it been a tie,
I'm not sure what
I would've done.
300
00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:23,676
Voted "aye",
if you ever wanted to run
301
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:25,512
for national office again.
Think ethanol passed
302
00:12:25,545 --> 00:12:26,914
something
like 82 to 18.
303
00:12:26,947 --> 00:12:28,515
I'm surprised
there were 18 Senators
304
00:12:28,548 --> 00:12:30,017
with no presidential ambitions.
305
00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:32,419
You really think that
Vinick can wriggle out
306
00:12:32,452 --> 00:12:34,621
from under his
ethanol record?
He'll wiggle, he'll squirm,
307
00:12:34,654 --> 00:12:36,523
but he'll say, as Senator,
he voted against it,
308
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:37,858
'cause it wasn't good
for California;
309
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:39,492
as President, he knows
it's good for the country.
310
00:12:39,526 --> 00:12:40,627
He'll pull a
groin muscle
311
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,162
reaching around behind
him to pick up that one.
312
00:12:42,195 --> 00:12:45,165
Majority Whip is positioning
on Third Circuit nominees again.
313
00:12:45,198 --> 00:12:47,767
No, Vinick's not wrong
about ethanol.
314
00:12:47,801 --> 00:12:49,169
It takes more oil
to transport it
315
00:12:49,202 --> 00:12:50,971
and fertilize it than
we save using it.
316
00:12:51,004 --> 00:12:53,473
Sir, you're not considering
changing the speech...
317
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:54,707
Was it Paul and Mandy?
318
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:57,377
Paul and Mimi;
son, David.
319
00:12:57,410 --> 00:12:59,479
DONNA:
Mr. Johnson,
320
00:12:59,512 --> 00:13:00,680
your platform
would include
321
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:01,982
paying the President,
the Cabinet
322
00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:03,650
and all members of
Congress a salary
323
00:13:03,683 --> 00:13:04,852
of one dollar
a year?
324
00:13:04,885 --> 00:13:06,753
Hell, yeah,
make 'em get a real job.
325
00:13:06,786 --> 00:13:09,156
And you want to ban
motorcycle helmets,
326
00:13:09,189 --> 00:13:10,623
color television,
drop out of the U.N.,
327
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:11,825
abolish Medicare,
328
00:13:11,859 --> 00:13:13,460
and totally privatize
Social Security?
329
00:13:13,493 --> 00:13:16,096
We got to get the
government out of
our damn pockets.
330
00:13:16,129 --> 00:13:19,099
Sir, are you sure
you're a Democrat?
331
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:32,279
We're gonna need some time
332
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:34,647
after the trip tonight
for a debate prep.
333
00:13:34,681 --> 00:13:36,149
The Black and
Brown's coming up.
334
00:13:36,183 --> 00:13:37,817
Do I really have
to go to that?
335
00:13:37,851 --> 00:13:39,286
It's an Iowa
tradition.
336
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:40,320
It's not a fair fight.
337
00:13:40,353 --> 00:13:41,955
Atkins and Santos get
to stand up there
338
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:44,524
holier than thou,
rail against racial injustice
339
00:13:44,557 --> 00:13:46,126
while the rest of us
loiter around
340
00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,595
looking like those two
albino twins from The Matrix.
341
00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:49,829
Sir, Donna
Moss is here.
342
00:13:49,863 --> 00:13:50,864
South Carolina
fundraising.
343
00:13:50,898 --> 00:13:52,665
Donna, great job
on the Carolina trip.
344
00:13:52,699 --> 00:13:53,901
Keep those boulders rolling.
345
00:13:53,934 --> 00:13:55,168
Thank you, sir.
346
00:13:55,202 --> 00:13:56,870
We can't put these
fringe candidates
347
00:13:56,904 --> 00:13:58,638
on stage
with serious candidates.
348
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:00,140
We've got a fascist
who was arrested
349
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:02,009
for brandishing a rifle
and calling
350
00:14:02,042 --> 00:14:03,443
for the overthrow
of the republic...
351
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:06,046
a delusional preacher,
a guy who just needs a job
352
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:08,448
and a refugee
from the New Christy Minstrels.
353
00:14:08,481 --> 00:14:10,817
WILL:
Freight train derailed
in Baton Route.
354
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,319
Big chemical
spill and fire.
355
00:14:12,352 --> 00:14:15,188
They're gonna have
to evacuate a 20
square-mile area.
356
00:14:15,222 --> 00:14:16,223
Any fatalities?
357
00:14:16,256 --> 00:14:18,525
Leveled a couple
of city blocks.
358
00:14:21,094 --> 00:14:22,329
They're ready
for you, sir.
359
00:14:22,362 --> 00:14:23,730
We're set on this
ethanol speech?
360
00:14:23,763 --> 00:14:25,365
Don't worry.
I'm not suicidal.
361
00:14:25,398 --> 00:14:28,435
I'm gonna take the pledge.
362
00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:30,370
FEMALE ANNOUNCER:
Ladies and gentlemen,
363
00:14:30,403 --> 00:14:31,838
the Vice President
of the United States.
364
00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:33,140
I was thinking about
throwing in a little something
365
00:14:33,173 --> 00:14:36,476
about, uh, drastically reducing
sugar subsidies, though.
366
00:14:43,683 --> 00:14:45,585
We can't give
these fringe
people a megaphone.
367
00:14:45,618 --> 00:14:46,954
They're lunatics.
368
00:14:46,987 --> 00:14:48,388
It'll be a circus
without the jugglers.
369
00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:49,822
RUSSELL:
Thanks for
that welcome.
370
00:14:49,856 --> 00:14:51,691
Now, I'm not
saying this just
371
00:14:51,724 --> 00:14:52,960
because I'm in Iowa.
372
00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:54,962
I say this everywhere I go.
373
00:14:54,995 --> 00:14:56,563
We need more ethanol production!
374
00:14:56,596 --> 00:14:57,730
( applause )
375
00:14:57,764 --> 00:14:59,132
WILL:
It's not already
a circus?
376
00:14:59,166 --> 00:15:01,134
When I was in Congress,
I voted to subsidize...
377
00:15:07,774 --> 00:15:09,943
( soft groan )
378
00:15:12,345 --> 00:15:13,280
Hello.
379
00:15:13,313 --> 00:15:14,514
FEMALE VOICE:
Good morning.
380
00:15:14,547 --> 00:15:16,549
It's 5:45 a.m.
381
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:19,987
Thank you.
382
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:28,295
( groans )
383
00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:33,633
Carlie Farkula,
a 22-year-old Turkish woman
384
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,302
who was sexually involved
385
00:15:35,335 --> 00:15:38,205
with a coworker, was convicted
of adultery this morning.
386
00:15:38,238 --> 00:15:40,340
She's been sentenced
to death for her crime.
387
00:15:40,373 --> 00:15:43,910
In the most recent attempt
to revamp Turkey's
388
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,445
78-year-old penal code,
389
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,181
members of the ruling
Justice Development Party
390
00:15:48,215 --> 00:15:50,017
approved yesterday
a controversial amendment
391
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:51,184
( coughs )
392
00:15:51,218 --> 00:15:52,585
to criminalize adultery.
393
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:53,987
Yeah.
394
00:15:54,021 --> 00:15:56,789
Leaders are expressing concern
that the country's laws
395
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:58,291
might be moving closer
to Islamic law.
396
00:15:58,325 --> 00:15:59,759
Conviction
of the young woman comes
397
00:15:59,792 --> 00:16:01,628
at a precarious time
for Turkey,
398
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:04,998
who has until recently
enacted reforms aimed
399
00:16:05,032 --> 00:16:08,168
at preparing the country
for European Union membership.
400
00:16:08,201 --> 00:16:11,004
EU officials say
the execution of Miss Farkula
401
00:16:11,038 --> 00:16:13,006
would be a major obstacle
402
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,008
to Turkey's future inclusion
in the EU.
403
00:16:15,042 --> 00:16:17,410
Bartlet Administration officials
stressed that
404
00:16:17,444 --> 00:16:19,779
while they're saddened
by Turkey's decision
405
00:16:19,812 --> 00:16:23,150
to allow the execution
to go forward, the United States
406
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:24,784
remains committed
407
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:26,219
to strengthening ties
with Turkey.
408
00:16:26,253 --> 00:16:28,155
DAFFY DUCK:
Hankering for trouble, eh?
409
00:16:28,188 --> 00:16:29,889
HELEN:
Okay, you guys,
410
00:16:29,922 --> 00:16:32,125
I'm just gonna
be right next
door, all right?
411
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,027
DAFFY DUCK:
I would like
to introduce myself:
412
00:16:34,061 --> 00:16:35,028
Zip-along Daffy...
413
00:16:35,062 --> 00:16:36,029
RONNA:
At 10:00, we tour
414
00:16:36,063 --> 00:16:37,230
the Todd Family
Orchard in Ames,
415
00:16:37,264 --> 00:16:38,365
press cider
and talk about
416
00:16:38,398 --> 00:16:39,832
agricultural
policy with
local farmers.
417
00:16:39,866 --> 00:16:40,933
Followed by
a photo op
in Audubon
418
00:16:40,967 --> 00:16:43,636
with Albert,
the world's
largest bull...
419
00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:45,105
Campaign's full of
metaphors, isn't it?
Yeah, Josh Lyman for...
420
00:16:45,138 --> 00:16:46,906
On to the Firefighter's
Chili Cook-Off in Davenport.
421
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:47,974
We discuss volunteer
firefighters...
422
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:49,008
Say Ned, did Andrea
send over
423
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:50,377
the, uh, mark-ups
on the dispersal?
424
00:16:50,410 --> 00:16:53,780
Yeah.
I want to weigh in on it
before it goes to the floor.
425
00:16:53,813 --> 00:16:54,914
Yeah, you read it
on the way.
426
00:16:54,947 --> 00:16:56,149
Next stop is the
Coffee Bean Caucus
427
00:16:56,183 --> 00:16:57,684
at the Hamburg Inn Number Two.
428
00:16:57,717 --> 00:16:59,086
The what?
JOSH:
It's a diner.
429
00:16:59,119 --> 00:17:00,420
They line up mason jars
430
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:02,422
with each candidate's name
on it,
431
00:17:02,455 --> 00:17:04,557
and every customer gets
a coffee bean to toss
432
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:05,825
into their favorite's jar.
I even have a jar?
433
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:06,926
We even send a volunteer
434
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:07,927
in for pie every
day for a week.
435
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,062
Oh, you got
seven beans, honey.
436
00:17:09,096 --> 00:17:10,197
And a volunteer
as big as Albert?
437
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:11,398
Next is the nation's
438
00:17:11,431 --> 00:17:13,100
oldest Dairy Queen
where you try soft serve
439
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:14,367
and talk about jobs
and the economy.
440
00:17:14,401 --> 00:17:15,868
Next, we fly to Iowa
Corn Growers
441
00:17:15,902 --> 00:17:17,237
Expo:
Watch-as-I-impale-myself...
442
00:17:17,270 --> 00:17:18,805
We got a plane?
Sort of.
With wings?
Small ones.
443
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:20,607
...on-the-mighty-sword
of-corn-based-fuels speech.
444
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,908
What are you going
to say about ethanol?
445
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:24,277
JOSH:
Best thing
446
00:17:24,311 --> 00:17:25,912
since soft serve.
HELEN:
Ethanol is subsidized
447
00:17:25,945 --> 00:17:27,280
to the tune of what,
448
00:17:27,314 --> 00:17:30,049
a billion dollars
a year, Josh?
449
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:31,751
SANTOS:
What's up after
the, uh, corn expo?
450
00:17:31,784 --> 00:17:33,019
RONNA:
Uh, back here
for prep
451
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,354
on the Brown
and Black Debate.
452
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:35,788
All of you are gonna prep
me for a debate on race?
453
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:38,391
JOSH:
Yeah, we should at least go
over the opposing arguments.
454
00:17:38,425 --> 00:17:39,992
See if we can
get after Hoynes
455
00:17:40,026 --> 00:17:40,827
on some of
the issues.
456
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,262
I grew up in Houston, Josh.
457
00:17:42,295 --> 00:17:44,131
I lived the opposing arguments.
458
00:17:44,164 --> 00:17:45,998
Okay, that's it.
Parking lot, ten minutes.
459
00:17:46,032 --> 00:17:46,966
SANTOS:
It's terrible
460
00:17:46,999 --> 00:17:48,335
about this woman
in Turkey, huh?
461
00:17:48,368 --> 00:17:50,237
What do you think the
President's going to do?
462
00:17:50,270 --> 00:17:52,038
Not much, I guess.
I mean, she's a Turkish citizen.
463
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:53,039
It's their country.
464
00:17:53,072 --> 00:17:54,040
They're executing her because
465
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,242
she slept with her fiancé.
466
00:17:55,275 --> 00:17:57,009
Thank God she didn't
cook him breakfast, too.
467
00:17:57,043 --> 00:17:58,478
Hey, we execute minors.
468
00:17:58,511 --> 00:18:01,514
The rest of the world thinks
that's barbaric.
469
00:18:01,548 --> 00:18:02,715
I'm with the world.
470
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:04,050
You joining us
this morning?
471
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,485
Uh, no.
Peter's got the sniffles.
472
00:18:05,518 --> 00:18:07,454
Think we're gonna stay here
for a while.
473
00:18:07,487 --> 00:18:10,623
Honey, a billion dollars a year
to make a gasoline additive?
474
00:18:10,657 --> 00:18:11,791
I'm gonna go
get my coat.
475
00:18:11,824 --> 00:18:12,759
Kiss the kids
good-bye.
476
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:14,294
Yeah, pictures are better
without the coat.
477
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:16,529
Circulation's
better with it.
478
00:18:16,563 --> 00:18:18,097
Register has us
at three percent?
479
00:18:18,131 --> 00:18:19,132
Yeah, I saw.
480
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,733
Iowa's Hispanic
population
481
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:22,034
is two point
eight percent.
482
00:18:22,068 --> 00:18:23,870
A billion dollars
that could be spent
483
00:18:23,903 --> 00:18:25,705
on child healthcare,
prenatal care,
484
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:26,873
Head Start, education.
485
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:27,840
Catch up with
us later?
486
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,409
Yup.
487
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,411
See you.
488
00:18:34,914 --> 00:18:37,284
JOSH:
Oh, we wrangled you
an invitation
489
00:18:37,317 --> 00:18:39,186
to go pheasant hunting with one
490
00:18:39,219 --> 00:18:41,321
of the Osceola
County Supervisors.
491
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:42,889
Get into camo gear,
492
00:18:42,922 --> 00:18:45,091
swing a 12-gauge
over your shoulder,
493
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:46,426
get a few photos
for the AP.
494
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:47,527
With a gun?
495
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,795
Yeah, you were
in the Marines.
496
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:49,896
You know how
to shoot, right?
497
00:18:49,929 --> 00:18:52,098
Yeah, 20mm chain gun,
but it might be a little hard
498
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,033
on the pheasant.
499
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:55,835
You know, Helen's not wrong
about ethanol.
500
00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:57,069
No, please.
Come on.
501
00:18:57,103 --> 00:18:59,672
SANTOS:
Bad for the environment,
it's expensive.
502
00:18:59,706 --> 00:19:00,673
Mother of all panders.
503
00:19:00,707 --> 00:19:02,509
After antagonizing
New Hampshire voters,
504
00:19:02,542 --> 00:19:04,444
we're gonna march into Iowa,
do the same thing?
505
00:19:04,477 --> 00:19:05,912
Transportation
is difficult,
506
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:07,347
storage is a nightmare.
What is this,
507
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:08,781
the insult
and injury tour?
508
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:09,816
We going to North Dakota next,
509
00:19:09,849 --> 00:19:12,819
tell them South Dakota
has the cooler-sounding name?
510
00:19:12,852 --> 00:19:15,188
Farm subsidies began as a way
511
00:19:15,222 --> 00:19:16,989
to help farmers
in the Depression.
512
00:19:17,023 --> 00:19:17,990
It's decades out-of-date.
513
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:19,025
It's corporate welfare.
514
00:19:19,058 --> 00:19:20,026
Don't you actually
want to get
515
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:21,761
some votes in one
of these states?
516
00:19:23,963 --> 00:19:26,233
SANTOS:
75% of the money goes
517
00:19:26,266 --> 00:19:28,501
to the richest ten percent
of American farmers.
518
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:29,936
You know, we're talking about
519
00:19:29,969 --> 00:19:31,804
writing six figure checks
520
00:19:31,838 --> 00:19:33,039
to Chevron,
521
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,140
the John Hancock
Insurance Company,
522
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:35,742
NBA basketball stars.
523
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:36,943
Repeat after me:
524
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:38,345
"Family farming is
a precious way
525
00:19:38,378 --> 00:19:39,479
"of life in this country,
526
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:41,080
"and we're gonna do
everything we can
527
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,450
to protect it."
Hi, I'm Matt Santos.
528
00:19:43,483 --> 00:19:45,685
I'm running for President.
Why don't you come back inside,
529
00:19:45,718 --> 00:19:48,221
we'll talk about how
we can make America stronger?
530
00:19:48,255 --> 00:19:49,556
So, I want to take another look
531
00:19:49,589 --> 00:19:50,923
at the ethanol speech
when we get...
532
00:19:50,957 --> 00:19:51,924
No. Absolutely not.
533
00:19:51,958 --> 00:19:52,925
As soon as we get back
on the bus.
534
00:19:52,959 --> 00:19:53,960
It's not gonna happen.
535
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:54,894
RONNA:
He doing
it again?
536
00:19:54,927 --> 00:19:56,229
Yeah.
537
00:20:01,368 --> 00:20:04,170
NED:
Maybe we should find
some hungrier volunteers.
538
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,005
He's not talking
ethanol, is he?
539
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:07,574
Immigration.
540
00:20:07,607 --> 00:20:09,108
Great, he proposing
opening the border
541
00:20:09,141 --> 00:20:10,543
and pelting them
with surplus corn?
542
00:20:10,577 --> 00:20:13,546
NED:
No, something about
foreign nationals serving
543
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:15,948
in the military without
being given citizenship.
544
00:20:15,982 --> 00:20:17,149
SANTOS:
Yeah, we let them
545
00:20:17,183 --> 00:20:18,651
defend our country,
but we won't let them
546
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:19,652
be American citizens
547
00:20:19,686 --> 00:20:20,887
until after they're
discharged?
548
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,088
You're Hispanic.
549
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:23,356
You start talking
immigration reform,
550
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:24,357
people are going to think
551
00:20:24,391 --> 00:20:25,358
you want
to throw open the borders.
552
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:26,859
No, no, no. Not
throw them open,
553
00:20:26,893 --> 00:20:27,860
but make some
kind of sense
554
00:20:27,894 --> 00:20:28,895
out of our
immigration laws.
555
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:31,030
And you know,
the ethanol
subsidy is a joke.
556
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,032
It's practically
in the Oxford
English Dictionary
557
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,233
under "pandering."
558
00:20:34,267 --> 00:20:35,902
Maybe the voters will respect us
559
00:20:35,935 --> 00:20:37,169
more for telling them the truth.
560
00:20:37,203 --> 00:20:39,238
What truth? That because
ethanol isn't perfect,
561
00:20:39,272 --> 00:20:40,573
they have to send their kids
562
00:20:40,607 --> 00:20:42,041
to community college,
and we're gonna
563
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,710
yank millions out of
their local economy?
564
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,912
Yeah, but it's up to us
to explain to them
565
00:20:45,945 --> 00:20:48,348
that it-it's gonna hurt them,
that-that we're essentially
566
00:20:48,381 --> 00:20:49,482
paying for make-work jobs.
567
00:20:49,516 --> 00:20:51,318
I mean, that can't be
what they want.
568
00:20:51,351 --> 00:20:52,819
Yeah, well, explain
it to 'em after
569
00:20:52,852 --> 00:20:57,256
someone's actually elected
us to something, okay?
570
00:20:57,290 --> 00:20:58,358
SANTOS:
I am not going
571
00:20:58,391 --> 00:20:59,759
to a Brown and
Black debate
572
00:20:59,792 --> 00:21:01,193
and only talk about
economic issues.
573
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:02,194
I'll look
ridiculous.
574
00:21:02,228 --> 00:21:03,463
JOSH:
Lack of opportunity
575
00:21:03,496 --> 00:21:04,997
is the root
of all our divisions.
576
00:21:05,031 --> 00:21:07,700
We need to lower the deficit,
lower interest rates,
577
00:21:07,734 --> 00:21:09,602
and create more
private sector jobs.
578
00:21:09,636 --> 00:21:11,471
We need to raise
educational standards,
579
00:21:11,504 --> 00:21:12,372
and equip all Americans
580
00:21:12,405 --> 00:21:13,640
for the new economy.
581
00:21:13,673 --> 00:21:15,808
That's what Russell
and Hoynes will be saying.
582
00:21:15,842 --> 00:21:16,809
You're trying to steer me
583
00:21:16,843 --> 00:21:18,945
towards middle-of-the-road
positions that appeal
584
00:21:18,978 --> 00:21:20,046
to C-SPAN
viewers.
585
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:21,614
All six of them
586
00:21:21,648 --> 00:21:23,483
who'll be watching the debate,
yeah, God bless 'em.
587
00:21:23,516 --> 00:21:24,484
You really want
me to talk
588
00:21:24,517 --> 00:21:25,485
about the
economic problems
589
00:21:25,518 --> 00:21:26,686
in the minority
communities?
590
00:21:26,719 --> 00:21:28,020
Yeah, I really do.
591
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:29,389
Okay. How
about the fact
592
00:21:29,422 --> 00:21:32,058
that minority kids are
five times more likely
593
00:21:32,091 --> 00:21:33,560
to grow up poor
and fatherless?
594
00:21:33,593 --> 00:21:34,761
You know
you can't go there.
595
00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:36,228
I'm serious.
596
00:21:36,262 --> 00:21:38,130
Kids who grow up fatherless
are more likely
597
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:39,432
to suffer emotional
consequences,
598
00:21:39,466 --> 00:21:40,567
and twice as likely
599
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,535
to engage in
criminal activities.
600
00:21:42,569 --> 00:21:44,404
We need to be
challenging
Hoynes, not
601
00:21:44,437 --> 00:21:45,805
fringe candidates
like Atkins.
602
00:21:45,838 --> 00:21:48,107
We reformed welfare
to require women to work--
603
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,509
that is,
when they can find a job--
604
00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:51,010
but we haven't done half as much
605
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:53,212
to force deadbeat dads
to pay for child support.
606
00:21:53,245 --> 00:21:54,414
You know damn well
607
00:21:54,447 --> 00:21:55,648
less than a quarter
of Latino kids
608
00:21:55,682 --> 00:21:57,283
grow up without their fathers.
609
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,452
It's nearly half
of African-American children.
610
00:21:59,486 --> 00:22:01,287
I don't care
if it's three Bosnians,
611
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,190
an Armenian and a bus full
of party clowns,
612
00:22:04,223 --> 00:22:06,258
it's a huge economic
problem, Josh.
613
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:07,660
It's gonna look like
614
00:22:07,694 --> 00:22:10,329
you're lecturing
African-Americans.
615
00:22:10,363 --> 00:22:11,564
Oh, so, if I'm President,
616
00:22:11,598 --> 00:22:13,533
I can only use the bully pulpit
to talk to Latinos?
617
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:16,503
What, does my State of the Union
only run on Telemundo, too?
618
00:22:16,536 --> 00:22:17,670
No, but tell
me right now.
619
00:22:17,704 --> 00:22:19,305
What's gonna help
everyone broadly,
620
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,207
make a difference across
621
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,642
all the races?
622
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:24,944
Values issues are important,
too, Josh.
623
00:22:24,977 --> 00:22:26,278
And supporting ethanol
624
00:22:26,312 --> 00:22:27,279
is a mistake.
625
00:22:27,313 --> 00:22:29,682
I want to see that speech.
626
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,156
This is a small plane.
627
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,025
You don't like
small planes?
628
00:22:39,058 --> 00:22:41,027
Like, Buddy Holly small.
629
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:42,228
Big Bopper small.
630
00:22:42,261 --> 00:22:44,464
Jiles Perry
Richardson.
631
00:22:44,497 --> 00:22:45,865
The Bopper's
real name.
632
00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:47,199
Richie Valens, too.
633
00:22:47,233 --> 00:22:49,436
All went down
right here in Iowa.
634
00:22:55,174 --> 00:22:56,443
( sighs )
635
00:22:56,476 --> 00:22:58,077
( plane engine whirring )
636
00:22:58,110 --> 00:22:59,812
Where's the Congressman?
637
00:22:59,846 --> 00:23:01,380
RONNA:
Up front.
638
00:23:01,414 --> 00:23:02,615
Up front?
639
00:23:02,649 --> 00:23:04,784
Well, he can't exactly fly it
from back here.
640
00:23:04,817 --> 00:23:07,520
Everybody set?
641
00:23:07,554 --> 00:23:09,422
You might want
to buckle up, Josh.
642
00:23:09,456 --> 00:23:12,959
Don't think I'll ever get tired
of doing barrel rolls.
643
00:23:26,939 --> 00:23:29,275
SANTOS:
"Ethanol is good
for our economy,
644
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:30,677
"good for our environment,
645
00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:33,345
and should be at
the heart of our
energy strategy."
646
00:23:33,379 --> 00:23:35,615
We've lost 850,000 jobs
to foreign oil.
647
00:23:35,648 --> 00:23:36,583
Hmm.
648
00:23:36,616 --> 00:23:38,350
Ethanol's created 150,000.
649
00:23:38,384 --> 00:23:40,587
Think of it
as a Midwestern jobs program.
650
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:41,788
SANTOS:
"As President,
651
00:23:41,821 --> 00:23:44,056
"I will ensure that
by the year 2020,
652
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,693
"ten percent of all
motor fuels will come
653
00:23:46,726 --> 00:23:48,327
from renewable sources
like ethanol..."
654
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,896
Four lines at the top
of the speech.
655
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:52,331
Think of it as a quick trip
to the dentist.
656
00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:53,800
Yeah, I'm a pretty
good flosser.
657
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:55,401
Hey, honey.
How was your day today?
658
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:57,369
Good. Peter's feeling better.
Great.
659
00:23:57,403 --> 00:23:59,105
Ronna, do we know
who's been here already?
660
00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:01,440
Uh, Hoynes this
morning, Russell
about an hour ago.
661
00:24:02,942 --> 00:24:03,876
All right, you know,
662
00:24:03,910 --> 00:24:05,478
I'm-I'm not gonna
do this, any of it.
663
00:24:05,512 --> 00:24:06,646
I'm gonna
go in there,
664
00:24:06,679 --> 00:24:08,314
and I'm gonna tell
these people the truth.
665
00:24:08,347 --> 00:24:10,149
We have to help farmers
in the tough years,
666
00:24:10,182 --> 00:24:11,584
and then reform the system
667
00:24:11,618 --> 00:24:13,152
so that we can target
those who really need it,
668
00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:15,354
not these agri-businesses
and multimillionaires.
669
00:24:15,387 --> 00:24:16,422
Ready,
Congressman?
!
Yeah.
670
00:24:16,455 --> 00:24:17,790
You walk out there
on that stage,
671
00:24:17,824 --> 00:24:19,992
and you come out
against ethanol,
you are dead meat.
672
00:24:20,026 --> 00:24:21,193
Bambi'd have a better shot
673
00:24:21,227 --> 00:24:23,763
getting elected President
of the NRA than you will have
674
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:25,264
of getting a single vote
in this Caucus.
675
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,466
Let him say what he wants
to say, Josh. He's right.
676
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,635
No, he's not.
677
00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:29,802
Look, you want me
678
00:24:29,836 --> 00:24:31,504
to support something
I know to be
679
00:24:31,538 --> 00:24:33,205
lousy policy
and a colossal waste
680
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:35,775
of taxpayers' money to
round up a couple of votes
681
00:24:35,808 --> 00:24:37,343
for a Caucus I can't
possibly win.
682
00:24:37,376 --> 00:24:39,846
I want you to support
a policy that helps
a lot of people,
683
00:24:39,879 --> 00:24:42,615
so that a year from now
when you are sworn in
684
00:24:42,649 --> 00:24:44,350
as President,
you can make the changes
685
00:24:44,383 --> 00:24:50,389
we both know need
to be made.
686
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:52,158
I'm ready.
687
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:55,161
Matt?
688
00:24:56,596 --> 00:24:58,531
Take the oath.
689
00:24:58,565 --> 00:24:59,799
MALE ANNOUNCER
Ladies and gentlemen.
690
00:24:59,832 --> 00:25:02,602
Congressmen Mathew Santos.
691
00:25:02,635 --> 00:25:04,136
( applause continues )
692
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:13,512
Oh, thank you.
693
00:25:13,546 --> 00:25:16,115
Thank you very much
for that warm welcome.
694
00:25:24,156 --> 00:25:25,558
( clears throat )
695
00:25:27,326 --> 00:25:30,396
Ethanol...
696
00:25:30,429 --> 00:25:32,765
is good for our economy,
697
00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:36,703
good for our environment,
and should be at the heart
698
00:25:36,736 --> 00:25:38,537
of our energy strategy.
699
00:25:38,571 --> 00:25:40,372
( applause )
700
00:25:40,406 --> 00:25:42,308
As President,
I will ensure
701
00:25:42,341 --> 00:25:43,876
that by the
year 2020,
702
00:25:43,910 --> 00:25:47,079
ten percent of all motor fuels
703
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:50,683
come from renewable resources
like ethanol.
704
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:53,019
( whistling )
705
00:25:53,052 --> 00:25:53,920
( applause )
706
00:25:53,953 --> 00:25:55,922
Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm here to talk
707
00:25:55,955 --> 00:25:57,957
about the dramatic steps
that we must take...
708
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:03,963
( phone ringing )
709
00:26:07,834 --> 00:26:09,568
Yeah?
710
00:26:09,602 --> 00:26:12,038
Great. Okay. Thank you.
711
00:26:24,016 --> 00:26:26,786
Carlie Farkula,
a 22-year-old Turkish woman
712
00:26:26,819 --> 00:26:29,588
who was sexually involved
with a co-worker
713
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:32,224
was convicted of adultery
this morning.
714
00:26:32,258 --> 00:26:35,461
Leaders are expressing concern
that the country's laws
715
00:26:35,494 --> 00:26:37,897
might be moving closer
to Islamic law.
716
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:39,866
Meanwhile, Bartlet
Administration officials
717
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:42,234
stressed that while
they're saddened
718
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:45,838
by Turkey's decision to allow
the execution to go forward...
719
00:26:45,872 --> 00:26:48,574
SHEILA:
Speech on tax reform
at General Mills plant,
720
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:50,542
then a meet-and-greet
with the managers,
721
00:26:50,576 --> 00:26:52,812
talk about improving
the business climate.
722
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:55,047
VINICK:
We have talking points
on the tax plan?
723
00:26:55,081 --> 00:26:56,348
SHEILA:
Okay, 11:00
724
00:26:56,382 --> 00:26:57,750
rally at the Mid-America Center
725
00:26:57,784 --> 00:26:59,786
followed by fundraising lunch
for John Schofield.
726
00:26:59,819 --> 00:27:00,987
Thought we said no to that.
727
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,722
MAYER:
Party's getting
behind him.
728
00:27:02,755 --> 00:27:03,890
They're trying
to unseat Lockman.
729
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:05,825
All right, we have a couple of
house stops,
730
00:27:05,858 --> 00:27:07,159
and then on to Hamburg Inn
Number Two.
731
00:27:07,193 --> 00:27:09,195
SEAN:
That the place
with the beans?
732
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:10,196
Great pie, too.
733
00:27:10,229 --> 00:27:10,997
Finally, tonight,
734
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:14,200
the Iowa
Corn Growers Association.
735
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:19,305
Did it suddenly
get quiet in here?
736
00:27:19,338 --> 00:27:20,172
( clearing throat )
737
00:27:20,206 --> 00:27:21,674
Do we have
that new direct mail piece?
738
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:24,777
Yeah, I took out about 17
exclamation points. Here.
739
00:27:24,811 --> 00:27:25,978
Fewer words,
more pictures.
Thank you.
740
00:27:26,012 --> 00:27:27,079
SHEILA:
Can we get any mileage
741
00:27:27,113 --> 00:27:28,647
out of Bartlet
and this Turkey thing?
742
00:27:28,681 --> 00:27:30,249
VINICK:
I don't see how.
743
00:27:30,282 --> 00:27:32,919
He criticized the decision
while reaffirming our commitment
744
00:27:32,952 --> 00:27:35,287
to regional autonomy.
Yeah, but if we
can find an angle,
745
00:27:35,321 --> 00:27:37,356
it might be a good way to
remind caucus-goers of your
746
00:27:37,389 --> 00:27:40,259
foreign policy experience.
We want to remind
them of my foreign
747
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:42,628
policy experience?
Might get their minds off
ethanol and abortion.
748
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:44,463
Bringing them
with me to a DMZ
749
00:27:44,496 --> 00:27:46,966
wouldn't take their minds
off ethanol and abortion.
750
00:27:46,999 --> 00:27:48,234
Cancel it.
Okay, everybody,
that's it.
751
00:27:48,267 --> 00:27:49,201
No, we're done there.
752
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:52,404
Got the new
753
00:27:52,438 --> 00:27:53,605
financial report.
754
00:27:53,639 --> 00:27:55,674
We're up six million six.
755
00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:56,776
That's a lot of money.
756
00:27:56,809 --> 00:27:58,677
Now all we need
are a few people
757
00:27:58,711 --> 00:27:59,779
willing to
vote for you.
758
00:27:59,812 --> 00:28:01,814
Bob, you got crumbs
all over... oh, great.
759
00:28:01,848 --> 00:28:03,015
Now, if I want a snack,
760
00:28:03,049 --> 00:28:04,283
I just have to reach down
into the carpet.
761
00:28:04,316 --> 00:28:05,752
You tell him?
Tell me what?
762
00:28:05,785 --> 00:28:07,286
Got the new
field poll.
763
00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:08,654
You're at five percent.
764
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:09,922
So, I'm up a little.
765
00:28:09,956 --> 00:28:11,623
Half a point;
dumped two
million bucks
766
00:28:11,657 --> 00:28:13,559
into Iowa, and you
are up a half?
767
00:28:13,592 --> 00:28:14,626
Ten million more,
768
00:28:14,660 --> 00:28:15,862
I can get you
into double digits.
769
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:17,029
No.
You're gonna
have to do it.
770
00:28:17,063 --> 00:28:18,330
I'm not having
this conversation.
771
00:28:18,364 --> 00:28:19,531
MAYER:
Sheila, tell him.
772
00:28:19,565 --> 00:28:20,833
VINICK:
Stop it.
773
00:28:20,867 --> 00:28:23,302
She's been doing
all her own talking
774
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:25,404
since she turned 35.
Why don't we talk
about this in the car?
775
00:28:27,339 --> 00:28:28,707
VINICK:
I never thought
we should
776
00:28:28,741 --> 00:28:30,109
commit resources here
in the first place.
777
00:28:30,142 --> 00:28:31,878
SHEILA:
We can't just thumb
our noses at Iowa.
778
00:28:31,911 --> 00:28:33,012
Let Allard clean up
and take
779
00:28:33,045 --> 00:28:34,713
the momentum
into New Hampshire...?!
780
00:28:34,747 --> 00:28:37,049
MAYER:
This is all about rural voters.
781
00:28:37,083 --> 00:28:38,550
A Republican
can't win the White House
782
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:39,819
without the Farm Belt.
783
00:28:39,852 --> 00:28:41,720
You want me in overalls,
spending all day
784
00:28:41,754 --> 00:28:42,588
talking with
Whistler's mom
785
00:28:42,621 --> 00:28:43,890
about soybean prices?
786
00:28:43,923 --> 00:28:45,892
You know that's not
what we're talking about.
787
00:28:45,925 --> 00:28:48,294
Farmers in America
don't want to get
paid in the mailbox.
788
00:28:48,327 --> 00:28:50,129
They want to
get paid in
the marketplace.
789
00:28:50,162 --> 00:28:51,563
That's catchy.
Pretty sure I wrote it.
790
00:28:51,597 --> 00:28:53,032
People know
where I stand.
791
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:54,967
They may not like
it, but they know
I'll stick with it.
792
00:28:55,001 --> 00:28:57,236
This is issue one,
two and three here.
793
00:28:57,269 --> 00:28:58,237
I'm not a panderer.
794
00:28:58,270 --> 00:28:59,471
MAYER:
It's unavoidable.
795
00:28:59,505 --> 00:29:00,739
It's the non-
panderer's pander.
796
00:29:00,773 --> 00:29:02,842
General Patton
would have pandered on ethanol.
797
00:29:02,875 --> 00:29:06,478
Et tu, Brute?
798
00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:10,449
VINICK:
Bartlet's economic policies
simply aren't working.
799
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:14,286
In small towns and rural
communities across America,
800
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,623
our lifestyle and values
are under siege.
801
00:29:17,656 --> 00:29:20,459
The trade deficit's
at record levels.
802
00:29:20,492 --> 00:29:23,295
Corn is down
three cents a bushel.
803
00:29:23,329 --> 00:29:25,431
Soybeans
are down 12 cents.
804
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:26,632
MAN:
Isn't the deficit
805
00:29:26,665 --> 00:29:28,500
due to NAFTA
as much as
anything else?
806
00:29:28,534 --> 00:29:30,002
Trade creates jobs,
period.
807
00:29:30,036 --> 00:29:34,673
One-third of Iowa's
agricultural product
goes overseas.
808
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:36,208
We need more programs
809
00:29:36,242 --> 00:29:37,810
like the "Freedom
to Farm" legislation
810
00:29:37,844 --> 00:29:39,045
that I helped sponsor.
811
00:29:39,078 --> 00:29:40,746
MAN:
Around here,
we call that
812
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:41,881
"Freedom to Foreclose."
813
00:29:41,914 --> 00:29:42,882
Well, that's clever,
814
00:29:42,915 --> 00:29:44,216
but it's not
very accurate.
815
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:46,518
I mean, do you think that
farmers should decide
816
00:29:46,552 --> 00:29:47,619
what they get
to plant,
817
00:29:47,653 --> 00:29:48,855
or should that
be left up
818
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:50,957
to some bureaucrat
back in Washington?
819
00:29:50,990 --> 00:29:52,859
You know, too often,
you're forced
820
00:29:52,892 --> 00:29:55,361
to "farm the subsidy"
instead of the market.
821
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:58,297
SHEILA:
We could use the new study
the Ethanol Institute put out.
822
00:29:58,330 --> 00:30:00,599
VINICK:
Yeah, I wonder who footed
the bill for that research?
823
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:02,168
MAYER:
It says if we put
ten percent ethanol
824
00:30:02,201 --> 00:30:03,903
in every gas tank in America,
825
00:30:03,936 --> 00:30:06,005
we can reduce worldwide oil
demand by two percent.
826
00:30:06,038 --> 00:30:07,439
VINICK:
First, we can't produce
827
00:30:07,473 --> 00:30:08,841
that much ethanol.
828
00:30:08,875 --> 00:30:10,809
Second, using it
as an additive
829
00:30:10,843 --> 00:30:13,612
allows the oil companies
to pump up octane levels
830
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:15,514
and sell more
premium gas to SUVs.
831
00:30:15,547 --> 00:30:17,116
Senator, we're
just trying to...
832
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:19,385
Two years ago,
I called it highway robbery.
833
00:30:19,418 --> 00:30:21,720
Now I'm supposed
to hand out ski masks, guns
834
00:30:21,753 --> 00:30:22,788
and brown paper bags?
835
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:24,023
Forget
the subsidy argument.
836
00:30:24,056 --> 00:30:25,524
You've said 100 times
837
00:30:25,557 --> 00:30:27,059
reducing dependence
on foreign oil
838
00:30:27,093 --> 00:30:28,527
is a national
security issue.
839
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,162
Yeah.
We fold ethanol
into that.
840
00:30:30,196 --> 00:30:31,998
Yeah. The only problem is
it's not true.
841
00:30:32,031 --> 00:30:34,833
Making a gallon of ethanol
takes almost a gallon of oil.
842
00:30:34,867 --> 00:30:37,036
That's like saying using
tonic water as an additive
843
00:30:37,069 --> 00:30:38,905
reduces our
demand for gin.
Look...
844
00:30:38,938 --> 00:30:40,839
Listen, I need to catch
Valerie after school.
845
00:30:40,873 --> 00:30:42,341
I want to wish her
a happy birthday.
846
00:30:42,374 --> 00:30:44,243
Will you at least look
at the ethanol report?
847
00:30:44,276 --> 00:30:47,846
It's a classic study
of a stupid policy
848
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,116
rammed down our throats
by special interests.
849
00:30:50,149 --> 00:30:51,817
Makes about as much sense
850
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:54,420
as building patio furniture
out of corn.
851
00:30:54,453 --> 00:30:56,722
But sure, I'll take a look.
852
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:58,524
VINICK:
We need fewer
regulations
853
00:30:58,557 --> 00:30:59,491
on small businesses.
854
00:30:59,525 --> 00:31:01,427
You know, small business
is like family farms.
855
00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:04,096
And we have to do something
about these frivolous lawsuits
856
00:31:04,130 --> 00:31:06,832
that jack up costs
for small businesses,
857
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,267
you know,
make it hard for them
858
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:11,770
to afford to have insurance,
capital investment...
859
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:13,705
Now, I'm for free trade,
860
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:16,808
but shouldn't it
be fair trade?
861
00:31:16,842 --> 00:31:18,010
Can we really compete
862
00:31:18,044 --> 00:31:20,012
with people earning
a dollar a day?
863
00:31:20,046 --> 00:31:23,182
Do we really want workers
in Malaysia to be earning
864
00:31:23,215 --> 00:31:24,951
our minimum wage?
( cell phone rings )
865
00:31:24,984 --> 00:31:26,218
I mean, do you
have any idea
866
00:31:26,252 --> 00:31:28,254
what real estate costs
in Kuala Lumpur?
867
00:31:28,287 --> 00:31:29,855
Trade lowers
868
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,857
prices for Americans.
869
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:33,525
I mean,
how else do you think
870
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:36,728
that they keep things so cheap
over at Walmart, huh?
871
00:31:36,762 --> 00:31:38,430
It's not just ethanol,
you know?
872
00:31:38,464 --> 00:31:39,999
These... these subsidies
873
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,134
are what give us
the corn glut.
874
00:31:42,168 --> 00:31:44,603
That's why we make
20 million tons
875
00:31:44,636 --> 00:31:47,339
of corn sweetener
a year.
876
00:31:47,373 --> 00:31:51,277
Average American
eats or drinks
93 pounds of it.
877
00:31:51,310 --> 00:31:55,181
And we wonder why
we have an obesity
problem with kids.
878
00:31:55,214 --> 00:31:56,915
What would I have to say?
879
00:31:56,949 --> 00:31:58,217
You weren't wrong
as Senator.
880
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:00,386
Ethanol wasn't in the best
interests of California.
881
00:32:00,419 --> 00:32:02,521
But as President,
you have to do what's right
882
00:32:02,554 --> 00:32:03,489
for the whole country.
883
00:32:03,522 --> 00:32:05,057
What did you expect?
884
00:32:05,091 --> 00:32:08,060
How about, "As Senator,
I pandered to Californians,
885
00:32:08,094 --> 00:32:10,729
but as President,
I plan to pander
886
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:14,000
to every special interest group
who will get me elected"?
887
00:32:17,003 --> 00:32:18,937
Bob already have
a speech drafted?
888
00:32:18,971 --> 00:32:21,640
You want to read it?
No, not especially.
889
00:32:21,673 --> 00:32:22,941
You know, if Iowa
890
00:32:22,975 --> 00:32:24,743
weren't first--
if it were third--
891
00:32:24,776 --> 00:32:26,212
you know what it would be?
892
00:32:26,245 --> 00:32:28,547
The South Dakota primary.
893
00:32:50,002 --> 00:32:51,570
Is he going to do it?
894
00:32:51,603 --> 00:32:52,438
Yeah.
Oh.
895
00:32:52,471 --> 00:32:53,805
Hello...
896
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:54,840
Senator, your
granddaughter.
897
00:32:54,873 --> 00:32:57,343
* Happy birthday to you
898
00:32:57,376 --> 00:32:59,911
* Happy birthday
to you... *
899
00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:02,048
( laughing )
900
00:33:02,081 --> 00:33:06,518
Well... well,
Montovani I'm not.
901
00:33:06,552 --> 00:33:08,854
No.
902
00:33:08,887 --> 00:33:11,123
No! Of course
I didn't forget.
903
00:33:11,157 --> 00:33:13,859
Well, it's cold.
It started snowing.
904
00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:15,427
Okay, you go back
to your friends.
905
00:33:15,461 --> 00:33:17,763
I love you, too.
906
00:33:17,796 --> 00:33:19,165
Happy Birthday,
pumpkin.
907
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,103
You have that "Profiles in
Spinelessness" speech of yours?
908
00:33:24,136 --> 00:33:26,072
It's on the
prompters.
909
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:28,407
You ready, Senator?
910
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,109
Okay.
911
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,345
( weary sigh )
912
00:33:33,379 --> 00:33:35,447
Man, I missed so many
of my own kids' birthdays;
913
00:33:35,481 --> 00:33:37,516
now I'm doing it
with the grandchildren.
914
00:33:37,549 --> 00:33:39,785
ANNOUNCER ( on P.A. ):
Ladies and gentlemen,
915
00:33:39,818 --> 00:33:40,852
Senator Arnold Vinick.
916
00:33:40,886 --> 00:33:43,189
( scattered applause )
917
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,529
( man coughs )
918
00:33:51,697 --> 00:33:55,000
As many of you are aware,
919
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:57,769
in the past,
I haven't been a big supporter
920
00:33:57,803 --> 00:33:59,805
of ethanol subsidies.
921
00:33:59,838 --> 00:34:01,240
( man clears throat )
922
00:34:04,176 --> 00:34:06,212
( people clearing
their throats )
923
00:34:08,714 --> 00:34:10,482
( man coughs )
924
00:34:14,186 --> 00:34:16,388
I know what
you want to hear.
925
00:34:16,422 --> 00:34:18,490
Telling people
what they want to hear
926
00:34:18,524 --> 00:34:20,926
is the easiest thing
you can do in politics.
927
00:34:20,959 --> 00:34:23,262
But that's not why I'm here;
928
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:25,097
that's not why I'm running
for president.
929
00:34:25,131 --> 00:34:26,965
Now, I know that
the ethanol subsidies
930
00:34:26,998 --> 00:34:28,400
have been good
for some of you.
931
00:34:28,434 --> 00:34:33,605
But mostly, it's a windfall
for huge conglomerates.
932
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:34,973
I'm embarrassed by it,
933
00:34:35,006 --> 00:34:37,075
and I think
you should be, too.
934
00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:38,744
Look, I know
what you're up against.
935
00:34:38,777 --> 00:34:40,146
I grew up in a, in a
936
00:34:40,179 --> 00:34:42,080
citrus farming community
in California...
937
00:34:46,118 --> 00:34:49,988
if you elect me president,
938
00:34:50,021 --> 00:34:51,723
ethanol subsidies
are not going to be
939
00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:52,958
a part of my agriculture policy.
940
00:34:52,991 --> 00:34:54,726
JOSH:
Wow.
941
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,094
HELEN:
Yeah, wow.
942
00:34:59,131 --> 00:35:01,300
You and the Congressman
finished with dinner?
943
00:35:01,333 --> 00:35:03,034
Yeah. At least
one candidate
gets to go home
944
00:35:03,068 --> 00:35:04,102
without feeling like
he's been mugged.
945
00:35:04,136 --> 00:35:05,371
( strained laugh )
946
00:35:05,404 --> 00:35:06,905
Well, he may have his wallet,
but he'll be down
947
00:35:06,938 --> 00:35:08,039
four points in
the morning.
948
00:35:08,073 --> 00:35:09,841
Ned, would you mind
excusing us for a minute?
949
00:35:09,875 --> 00:35:10,809
Thanks.
950
00:35:12,511 --> 00:35:14,813
See ya.
951
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:16,582
Josh, why are we
even in Iowa?
952
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:19,585
Shouldn't we be focusing
on Texas, California,
953
00:35:19,618 --> 00:35:22,154
places where we might
actually get some, um...
954
00:35:22,188 --> 00:35:24,590
oh, what do you political
professionals call them,
955
00:35:24,623 --> 00:35:26,358
uh... votes?
We're letting
people know
956
00:35:26,392 --> 00:35:29,261
there's an alternative
to Hoynes and Russell.
957
00:35:29,295 --> 00:35:32,698
Matt Santos, making sense,
talking about ideas.
958
00:35:32,731 --> 00:35:34,400
Making sense
about ethanol?
959
00:35:34,433 --> 00:35:36,202
It makes sense
in Iowa, yeah.
960
00:35:36,235 --> 00:35:38,237
Russell's a
house of cards.
961
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:40,005
His support's a mile
wide and an inch deep.
962
00:35:40,038 --> 00:35:41,139
We can't compete
with him
963
00:35:41,173 --> 00:35:44,075
on endorsements or
institutional support.
964
00:35:44,109 --> 00:35:47,012
But we don't have to
worry about Russell.
965
00:35:47,045 --> 00:35:48,180
Hoynes'll find a way
to take him down.
966
00:35:48,214 --> 00:35:50,148
This the famous
Josh Lyman nine-point plan?
967
00:35:50,182 --> 00:35:52,551
Hoynes is smart; he
has access to money;
968
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:55,187
plenty of chits
he can call in.
969
00:35:55,221 --> 00:35:57,289
Once Russell crumbles,
970
00:35:57,323 --> 00:35:59,191
his support'll
flow to Hoynes,
971
00:35:59,225 --> 00:36:04,530
unless someone has
established themself
as "Not Hoynes."
972
00:36:04,563 --> 00:36:06,097
"Not Hoynes."
'Cause there are
973
00:36:06,131 --> 00:36:07,799
going to be lots of
primary activists
974
00:36:07,833 --> 00:36:08,934
who are very
uncomfortable
975
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:09,935
with an adulterous,
moderate,
976
00:36:09,968 --> 00:36:10,936
DLC Democrat.
977
00:36:10,969 --> 00:36:11,970
Oh, my God.
You actually
978
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:13,639
stay up nights
thinking this stuff up?
979
00:36:13,672 --> 00:36:15,140
It's a living.
980
00:36:15,173 --> 00:36:19,311
( sighing ):
Hmm...
981
00:36:19,345 --> 00:36:20,512
Well, I'm going to bed.
982
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:21,947
Please don't keep him
up too late.
983
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:23,582
He's tired.
984
00:36:23,615 --> 00:36:26,485
Good night, Josh.
985
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:30,322
Hey, still snowing outside?
986
00:36:30,356 --> 00:36:32,224
Uh, yes-- supposed
to clear up in a
couple hours.
987
00:36:32,258 --> 00:36:33,692
We gonna have to change
the schedule tomorrow?
988
00:36:33,725 --> 00:36:35,294
Not yet.
989
00:36:35,327 --> 00:36:36,995
Josh, as I live
and barely breath.
990
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:38,564
Senator, how are you?
991
00:36:38,597 --> 00:36:41,166
VINICK:
Well, aside from the dozen
Republican farmers
992
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,034
who just tried to show me
the business end
993
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:45,070
of a Mr. Popcorn
machine, fine.
994
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:46,905
You know Sheila, Bob.
995
00:36:46,938 --> 00:36:47,906
Hey.
SHEILA:
Hey.
996
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:50,041
You got some...
997
00:36:50,075 --> 00:36:51,743
No, no, that's
just Bob's way
998
00:36:51,777 --> 00:36:53,178
of packing a lunch.
999
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,714
Uh, Senator,
Congressman Matt Santos.
1000
00:36:55,747 --> 00:36:56,848
Yeah, we've met.
1001
00:36:56,882 --> 00:36:57,816
How are you, Matt?
1002
00:36:57,849 --> 00:36:58,850
I'm good, Arnie. You?
1003
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:01,853
We co-sponsored
a doomed immigration
reform package
1004
00:37:01,887 --> 00:37:02,854
a couple years ago.
Yeah...
1005
00:37:02,888 --> 00:37:05,023
We fought the good fight,
lit the good match.
1006
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:06,625
Still went down
in flames, though.
1007
00:37:06,658 --> 00:37:08,994
We're supposed to be driving
back to Des Moines now,
1008
00:37:09,027 --> 00:37:11,162
but... well, you know,
with the storm and everything,
1009
00:37:11,196 --> 00:37:12,464
we thought we'd get
something to eat
1010
00:37:12,498 --> 00:37:14,232
and see if it clears up.
Well, maybe
we could see
1011
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:16,034
if the kitchen's
still open.
Yeah, I'll check it out.
1012
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:17,235
SHEILA:
I'll get us a table.
1013
00:37:17,269 --> 00:37:18,437
Yeah, sure,
I'll-I'll be right there.
1014
00:37:19,505 --> 00:37:21,540
I read about that education plan
1015
00:37:21,573 --> 00:37:23,409
you introduced
in New Hampshire.
1016
00:37:23,442 --> 00:37:26,211
That's pretty gutsy stuff,
taking on the teachers' unions.
1017
00:37:26,244 --> 00:37:27,479
Well, I don't
think that I'll be
1018
00:37:27,513 --> 00:37:30,749
elected President
of my PTA right now, but, uh...
1019
00:37:30,782 --> 00:37:31,883
saw the ethanol speech.
1020
00:37:31,917 --> 00:37:35,053
Yeah, well, that wasn't gutsy
so much as suicidal,
1021
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:36,755
or so my staff tells me.
1022
00:37:36,788 --> 00:37:37,689
Mind if I sit?
1023
00:37:37,723 --> 00:37:39,925
No, please.
1024
00:37:39,958 --> 00:37:41,560
Your guys Russell
and Hoynes
1025
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:43,762
have come after
me on that already.
1026
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:45,030
You lining up a
shot for tomorrow?
1027
00:37:45,063 --> 00:37:47,499
I think I'll just sit
this one out.
1028
00:37:47,533 --> 00:37:49,935
240-day school
year, hmm?
1029
00:37:49,968 --> 00:37:51,603
An end to
teacher tenure,
1030
00:37:51,637 --> 00:37:53,405
nationalizing
the system.
1031
00:37:53,439 --> 00:37:55,273
You want to hop on?
I could use the support.
1032
00:37:55,307 --> 00:37:57,443
I'm taking a shellacking
from my own side of the aisle.
1033
00:37:57,476 --> 00:37:59,611
I'm with you
on the tenure,
1034
00:37:59,645 --> 00:38:02,314
but a longer,
federally mandated
school year?
1035
00:38:02,348 --> 00:38:04,616
Uh... sounds like
another big Washington
1036
00:38:04,650 --> 00:38:06,251
power grab to me.
Oh, here we go...
1037
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:07,453
Well, no.
1038
00:38:07,486 --> 00:38:08,754
Why would we want
to wrest control
1039
00:38:08,787 --> 00:38:10,656
from the local school
boards and the parents
1040
00:38:10,689 --> 00:38:13,191
who know more about
their kids than we do?
1041
00:38:13,224 --> 00:38:14,593
'Cause right now,
our local school boards
1042
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,528
and parents aren't making sure
that our kids
1043
00:38:16,562 --> 00:38:18,730
could compete in
a tougher world marketplace.
1044
00:38:18,764 --> 00:38:21,500
Wouldn't be a Democratic plan
if it didn't involve more taxes.
1045
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:23,268
Maybe we should take apart
every public school
1046
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:25,337
brick by brick, auction 'em off.
1047
00:38:25,371 --> 00:38:27,506
Some things cost money, Arnie.
1048
00:38:27,539 --> 00:38:30,175
Who's going to
administer all this?
1049
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:33,244
Because they did
such a great jobent
improving education
1050
00:38:33,278 --> 00:38:34,913
in the last
four decades?
All right,
1051
00:38:34,946 --> 00:38:37,148
are you through embarrassing me
in front of my staff here?
1052
00:38:37,182 --> 00:38:38,650
Not even close.
1053
00:38:38,684 --> 00:38:40,986
When are you headed back
to New Hampshire?
1054
00:38:41,019 --> 00:38:43,188
Tomorrow.
1055
00:38:43,221 --> 00:38:46,024
What with my ethanol tantrum,
I, uh...
1056
00:38:46,057 --> 00:38:48,226
I suspect my work here is done.
1057
00:38:48,259 --> 00:38:50,362
I think I've managed
to successfully drag
1058
00:38:50,396 --> 00:38:54,366
my-my-my poll numbers
below a pro hockey score.
1059
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,168
Well, at least you've still got
a full set of teeth.
1060
00:38:57,202 --> 00:39:00,506
Yeah, my staff
is very proud.
1061
00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:04,009
Well, if they weren't, I was.
1062
00:39:05,043 --> 00:39:07,112
You're not an ethanol fan?
1063
00:39:07,145 --> 00:39:10,616
Not until today.
1064
00:39:10,649 --> 00:39:12,618
JOSH:
Kitchen's closed,
1065
00:39:12,651 --> 00:39:15,687
but they said they'd whip up
a few eggs, some sandwiches.
1066
00:39:15,721 --> 00:39:18,557
Thank you.
1067
00:39:18,590 --> 00:39:21,393
What do you think
they're plotting over there?
1068
00:39:21,427 --> 00:39:23,529
Well, if your day's
been anything
like ours,
1069
00:39:23,562 --> 00:39:25,363
I'd take away
the sharp cutlery.
1070
00:39:25,397 --> 00:39:27,766
That was a bold move
on the ethanol thing.
1071
00:39:28,834 --> 00:39:30,368
That was all him.
1072
00:39:30,402 --> 00:39:32,170
You'll end up
a loser here,
1073
00:39:32,203 --> 00:39:33,505
but you'll mop up
with the national press.
1074
00:39:33,539 --> 00:39:35,441
They'll be talking about
how courageous your guy is.
1075
00:39:35,474 --> 00:39:38,544
From your lips to God's ears.
1076
00:39:38,577 --> 00:39:40,311
What'd your guy
do on ethanol?
1077
00:39:40,345 --> 00:39:41,513
He took the pledge.
1078
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:44,416
Republican field's
wide open.
1079
00:39:44,450 --> 00:39:46,918
We're just trying to find
a way to stay in the game.
1080
00:39:46,952 --> 00:39:49,154
Hmm.
1081
00:39:49,187 --> 00:39:51,690
( acoustic guitar strumming )
1082
00:39:59,931 --> 00:40:06,572
* Two hearts fading
like a flower *
1083
00:40:06,605 --> 00:40:12,811
* And all this waiting
for the power *
1084
00:40:12,844 --> 00:40:18,684
* For some answer
to this fire *
1085
00:40:18,717 --> 00:40:23,421
* Sinking slowly,
the water's higher *
1086
00:40:23,455 --> 00:40:25,090
* Mmm...
1087
00:40:25,123 --> 00:40:28,059
* Desire
1088
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:33,131
* Desire
1089
00:40:36,835 --> 00:40:43,408
* With no secrets,
no obsession *
1090
00:40:43,441 --> 00:40:49,314
* This time I'm speeding
with no direction *
1091
00:40:49,347 --> 00:40:55,621
* Without a reason,
what is this fire? *
1092
00:40:55,654 --> 00:41:00,959
* Burning slowly,
my one and only *
1093
00:41:00,992 --> 00:41:02,761
* Mmm
1094
00:41:02,794 --> 00:41:04,630
* Desire
1095
00:41:05,497 --> 00:41:07,833
* Desire
1096
00:41:08,867 --> 00:41:10,536
* Desire
1097
00:41:11,402 --> 00:41:14,940
* Desire
1098
00:41:20,846 --> 00:41:23,649
Our current force is more than
adequate to meet the needs
1099
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:26,618
of the agreed-upon security
arrangements and all parties...
1100
00:41:43,935 --> 00:41:49,240
* You know me,
you don't mind waiting *
1101
00:41:49,274 --> 00:41:55,046
* You just can't show me,
but God I'm praying *
1102
00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:00,986
* That you'll find me,
and that you'll see me *
1103
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:06,958
* That you'll run
and never tire *
1104
00:42:06,992 --> 00:42:08,159
* Mmm...
1105
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:09,895
* Desire
1106
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:13,732
* Desire
1107
00:42:30,348 --> 00:42:32,550
* Desire
1108
00:42:33,384 --> 00:42:36,454
* Desire...
1109
00:42:36,487 --> 00:42:38,156
( phone ringing )
1110
00:42:38,189 --> 00:42:40,726
JOSH:
Hello.
1111
00:42:40,759 --> 00:42:45,030
FEMALE VOICE:
Good morning. It's 5:45 a.m.
1112
00:42:45,063 --> 00:42:46,632
Thank you.
1113
00:42:53,538 --> 00:42:56,007
( Josh sighs groggily )
