♪♪

So that's our show
for this morning.

Check in with us
tomorrow.

When I'll be reporting
on new alternatives

to animal testing in
the cosmetics industry.

I'll be recapping
tonight's Presidential rally

in Altoona, PA.

And I'll be taking a look
at the troubled relationship

President Trump
has with our allies,

Justin Trudeau
and Emmanuel Macron.

That would make a good
screwball comedy, wouldn't it?

We could call it
"Two Men and a Baby."

And we're out.

And there goes our last
Republican viewer.

[ Telephone rings ]

Miles: Just couldn't help
yourself, could you, Murphy?

Seconds from the end
of a terrific show

and you had to take a sarcastic
swipe at the president.

I know, I know.
And I sort of regretted it

the second it
came out of my mouth.

But ever since this guy
has been in the Oval Office,

I've developed a kind
of Tourette's.

Hey, Miles,
you got a minute?

-Sure.
-I have this idea.

Instead of reporting off
the pool coverage

of tonight's rally,

I think I should
go there myself.

I wish I could send you,
but we're a new show.

We don't have that
in the budget. It's just

that I really miss
being out in the field.

I tell you what.
What if I drive up to Altoona?

I'll cover all the expenses.
I could be back here tonight

with an up close
and personal story.

In-person coverage
would be nice for a change.

And I'm willing to do this
on my own dime

because you can't
put a price tag

on good, old-fashioned
boots on the ground reporting.

So, let me
get this straight.

You're gonna drive two
and a half hours,

turn around, and come back
the same night.

That's gonna run you, what?
28 bucks?

I might eat a snack.

Okay, you can go.

But just this once.
Because it sets a bad precedent.

If Diana finds out we're
financing our own coverage,

she might start charging us for
our own therapeutic massages.

[ Chuckles ]
Yeah.

Hey, wait a minute.
The network is paying for --

What are you still
doing here, Frank?

Tick tock!
Traffic on the Beltway!

See you tomorrow!

Trump: There has
never been anything

like what happened
in November of '16.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Remember that incredible night
in November?

Oh, for God's sakes.

It's been two years.
Give it a rest.

You know, I really wish
you two crazy kids

would work out
your problems.

Have you considered
couples therapy?

No, it's too late.
It's over.

I got the house
and the car.

He got
the hair spray. [ Laughs ]

You know, your Uncle Frank
is in here somewhere.

He's covering
the rally? Yep.

And by the way,

anybody catch Old Murphy

on TV this morning?[ Crowd boos ]

Oh, boy.
Here we go.

Yeah, she was at it again.

Sitting there
with her flunky friends,

telling their big lies,

planting their fake stories
about our great country.

[ Gasps ]
Is thatwhat you do?

You paint a much
different picture.

I hear Old Murphy's
partner in crime,

Fibbin' Frank Fontana
is here tonight.

Where is he? There he is.
See him?

That's right. Let Fibbin' Frank
know what you think of him!

Maybe a good body slam,
what do you say?

Oh, I can't watch
this garbage anymore.[ Remote clicking ]

Oh. Here we go.

[ Chuckles ]

What is that?
"Hoarders"!

Oh, my God. People afraid
of throwing stuff away

wind up buried under
mountains of their own garbage.

It destroys their lives.

It's brilliant.

This is coming from
a woman who has a basement

full of old
T.V. Guides.

I haven't finished
all the crosswords yet.

You know, it's a new
Golden Age of Television,

and this is what
you choose to watch?

[ Inhales sharply ]
Don't open the closet.

Oh, God,
don't open the closet.

[ Telephone ringing ]

What's happening?

A social worker just
found a dead raccoon

under a monstrous pile
of old sponges.

And you didn't
wake me up? Ow.

[ Ringing continues ]

Hello?

Hello?

[ Ringing continues ]

Just because it has
numbers on it,

doesn't mean you can
talk into it.

Hello?

Oh, Miles. Hey.

Avery and I are
just sitting here --

Wha-- What?

What?

[ Television turns off ]Are you sure?

What hospital?

Okay.

Frank got hurt
at the rally.

He's being airlifted
back to Washington.

Okay, let's go.
Let's go.

♪♪

I guess when you major
in journalism these days,

you have to minor
in kickboxing.

Avery:
Hey, Uncle Frank.

Hey, guys.

What happened to you?

I thought you knew
how to duck.

You should see
the other hundred guys.

-[ Chuckles ]
-How bad do I look?

Not bad,

if you're a piñata.

So, I guess
the takeaway here is,

next time
you cover a rally,

hope the president doesn't
give you a shout out.

When Trump left the stage,
I decided to leave the press pen

and go interview
some of the people.

Next thing I know, I'm
surrounded by a sea of red hats.

Oh, God.No big deal.

I'm just milking this

for the Jell-O
and sponge baths.

Where is he?
Where's my big hero Frank?!

[ Gasps ]
Oh, my God.

You look awful!

Are you in pain?

Uh, yeah. The paramedic
gave me a shot,

but I think
it wore off.

Okay, nurse, he needs
another shot.

-It's not time yet.
-I don't think you heard me.

My friend is in pain,
and he needs a shot now.

And he'll get one
in a few hours.

A few hours is
a few hours too late!

The man is in pain.
He needs a shot!

Did you hear me?
Give him a shot. Right now!

A shot!
Give him a shot!

All right,
I've seen the movie.

I'll give him
the damn shot.

And then I might
give youone.

How long will it take
to kick in? Right away.

I got here
as soon as I could.

I was in
such a rush to park

that I clipped the fender
of a paramedics van

and spent the last half-hour
filling out

an accident report in
the emergency room driveway --

watching one bloody heap
on a gurney after another.

It was like the opening scene
from "Saving Private Ryan."

I'm a wreck.

Frank.
How you doing, buddy?

Hello.

How do you think
he's doing?

He's got three broken ribs,
a dislocated shoulder,

and he almost
lost an eye.

Am I on TV?

-Where's Ron?
-Who's Ron?

My brother.

You don't have
a brother, Uncle Frank.

What happened to him?
What happened to Ron?!

Oh, wow.

I-I saw some video
of the attack on Twitter

and got here
as fast as I could.

I-I know we butt heads
sometimes, Frank,

but when stuff
like this happens,

it just makes you realize
that we're family.

Ron?

Just say yes.
He thinks he has a brother.

Hey...bro.

You came!Of course I came.

You were always there
for me growing up.

Remember when I told you
I was gay?

You didn't have to tell me.
I walked in on you.

Yes, and you were
so supportive.

Not like Mom and Dad.

Mom came around eventually.
But not Dad.

Dad had to put on a macho front
for all his factory buddies.

Avery: That's enough
sharing, Ron.

Let's let him
get some rest.

Ironically, Dad had
a dark secret of his own.

Okay, that's
enough, Ron.

Silverberg. Murphy.

Others.

Please, Frank,
don't get up.

People say
I'm not funny.

On behalf
of the CNC family,

I brought you
this gift basket.

There's some candy,
a roll of Fuji film,

a round beach towel --
not easy to find --

and a stuffed animal of
some undetermined gender.

Santa.

May I say,
I am deeply disturbed

by the events that transpired,
and I want you to take

as much time as you need
before coming back to work.

How long do you think
that will be?

Um...
Rhetorical.

I want to have you right back
in that anchor chair

before the media buzz
and those bruises fade.

I'll pay you
to give hera shot.

Uh, gang, why don't we
let Frank get some sleep?

We can come back tomorrow
for another visit.

-Bye, Frank.
-Bye, Frank.

-Bye, Bro.
-Bye, Ron!

Frank, I just
wanted to say,

this is all my fault.

I-I took that
personal shot

at the president
on the air this morning,

and now he hates you
because he hates me.

Me and my big mouth.

Oh.

That's okay, Debbie.

I can find someone else
to take to the prom.

It's just that I have
to wash my hair.

I know I said I hope Frank's
back in his chair soon,

but I wouldn't mind
taking care of him

for just another
few more days.

Maybe this
sounds weird,

but he's so weak
and helpless right now,

he's almost bald,

I look at him
and think,

this is the closest I'll
ever come to having a baby.

Miles, what are we doing
to beef up security around here?

The president's calling
the press dangerous and sick.

I feel like we're all
sitting ducks.

Too bad Robocop
doesn't exist.

A hot, strong robot
with no self-control --

Rarr.

Listen, you can talk about
security all you want.

But really,
all we need is this.

All: Oh!

Corky,
what the hell?!

Is that thing real?!Of course it's real!

But don't worry,
the safety's on.

I'd like you all
to meet Li'l Lucy.

I got her the day I turned 12
back in Louisiana.

Firearms for your birthday
are a tradition in my family.

So is shooting out
the candles,

although,
the older you get,

the more
you have to reload.

Corky, after all
the stories we've done

on gun control
and the NRA --

I know, but I'm
a responsible gun owner.

I have a permit.

I go to the shooting range
once a month.

Do you carry that, her,
with you all the time?

No.

Mostly she's hidden away
in my bedroom

next to Big Eddie.

-You own a shotgun, too?
-Big Eddie is not a gun.

Let's just say

they both comfort me.

Rarr.

Well, look at you,

Mr. Reading the News,
Mr. Watching the News,

Mr. Making the News...

Hey, Avery,
get on in here.

Well, Frank, I got to say
you're looking better,

looking a lot less
like a, um...

rotting
jack-o'-lantern.

[ Chuckles ]
Nice bedside manner.

Well, I wanted
to let you know

I went to church for you
this morning.

You went to church?
For me?

I did.
[ Chuckles ]

You went
to our church. I did.

You went
to Holy Cannoli. I did.

[ Laughs ]

Two chocolate,
two vanilla,

just like
you like it.

You remember the last time
you brought me Holy Cannoli

was after my ACL surgery
in high school.

You remember that?That was the last time
we did this?

Oh, Holy Cannoli,

blessed be
thy ricotta filling.

Mmm. Mmm!
[ Laughs ]

So, uh, listen.

I didn't just come by
to deliver divine inspiration.

I actually wanted to talk
to you about something.Mm-hmm.

I can't stop thinking

about what happened to you
at the rally

and how
it's come to this,

and I want
to go back there.

I want to talk to
the people that saw it,

I want to talk to the people
that stepped in to help...

[ Sighs ]

...and I want to talk
to the people that didn't.

We need answers,

and I think my audience
would like some answers, too.

I don't know.

It's still a pretty
raw situation.

Look, I don't want what happened
to me to happen to you.

I'm not worried.

I am
a Wolf Network guy.

I think that offers me some
protection in red hat country.

So...

you want my blessing?

Yeah.
I guess I do.

Take my blessing.

Leave the cannoli.

[ Laughs ]

♪♪

Good morning, and welcome
to "Avery Brown's America."

I am at the Kozy Kafe

in Altoona, Pennsylvania,
near the arena

where President Trump
held a rally the other night

where a reporter was seriously
injured by an angry crowd.

I'm here
to understand why.

Jenny,

you were at the rally
the other night.

Why don't you tell me
what you saw?

Well, one minute, the president
was pointing at this poor guy --

Fibbin' Frank Fontana
he called him --

and the next thing you know,
all hell broke loose.

Yeah. Those guys from
that there CNC network,

they never give
the president a break.

It's all one-sided.

I like yournetwork.

-They're one-sided, too.
-But it's my side.

The true side.
[ Scoffs ]

[ Laughs ]Excuse me, sorry.

Excuse me.

Didn't I see you on video
coverage of the rally?

You were there,
right?

I don't know, was I?

Buddy, we don't
want to be on TV.

You were the one that took the
first swing at Frank Fontana.

And, full disclosure,

he's practically
my uncle.

Uncle? Huh.

Guess we're
meeting the whole family.

[ Laughs ]
Now, I-I'm just wondering.

How can you
just punch someone

for simply doing
their job?

He had it coming.
He's fake news.

He's the enemy
of the people!

He's a journalist.

He was just there
to cover the rally.

That is what
a free press does.

It's what separates
a democracy from a dictatorship.

Although
you know what?

Maybe a dictatorship
is what you'd prefer.

You know what
I'd prefer? This!

[ All gasp ]

Mom, I'm fine.

You know, they put
a realice pack on it

for, like, an hour
at the E.R.

Well, frozen peas are much
better than a real ice pack.

Because?

Because vegetables
are good for you. Duh.

You know, the irony is,
my own network

helped create
this mob mentality.

And it turned around
and punched me in the face.

[ Bag clatters ]

Oh, my God.
Look at that.

First Frank,
and then my own kid.

I hate this.

You know, I tried to be

as objective as possible
in that interview,

and I could feel myself
starting to lose it.

I saw that interview.

You did absolutely
nothing wrong.

I've been around
a long time.

I saw the civil rights movement,
Vietnam War,

the culture wars
of the '80s.

I've never seen the American
people turn on the press

the way they are now.

Well, we've got to dig in
and fight it, right?

What other choice
is there?

I have to believe that we can
find our way back to normal.

What if this is
the new normal?

Corky, as Christmas
approaches

and the weather is turning
colder, there seem to be

more and more homeless people
on the street.

It's true, Murphy.
According to the annual

Homeless Assessment Report
to Congress,

the number of people
without homes

increased last year for
the first time in seven years.

We have with us
a representative

from Housing and
Urban Development,

Mr. Luther Williams.

Mr. Williams, welcome
to "Murphy in the Morning."

Thank you.
I wonder if you could tell me

why there has been such
an increase in homelessness

during
this administration.

Well, actually, with modern life
becoming so complicated,

more people are deciding
to live off the grid.

Are you saying that people
are choosing to be homeless?

No rent to pay, no real estate
taxes, cable bills,

Internet going out all the time.
[ Chuckles ]

It's a simpler
way of life.

Do you know what any rational
person would think

if they heard you say that?
They would...

...say, "Who doesn't hate
their Internet provider?"

Wait a minute.
Mr. Williams,

you're saying people would
rather live under a bridge

than in a house?

It's like camping.

People like to camp.

Murphy?

Well, um, as you know,

homelessness has existed
ever since I can remember.

It's not just during this
particular administration,

to be fair, and, um,

we are going to continue
this conversation

when we come back.

[ Outro music plays ]

And we're in
to commercial.

And where'd they find
this brother?

Miles: What was that
all about?

I thought you were about
to go for the jugular.

I was, and then Frank
and Avery's faces

flashed in front of my eyes,
and I pulled back.

Well, get a grip.

Because when we come back
from commercial,

you need to go
full throttle.

Hammer this guy
because he's an idiot

and he deserves it.

Sitting here.

Hey, Frank,
glad to see you

back in the saddle.

Can't keep
the good ones down.

Oh.
[ Laughs ]

I could
get used to this --

a party in my honor,
adoring fans,

hero worship. [ Laughs ]
-[ Laughs ]

Here you go,
Frank.

Another
Black and Blue.

Look at this! They're even
naming drinks for me.

What's in
this thing, anyway?

Whatever cheap liquor
I'm closest to.

[ Miles laughs ]

Give a drink a name,

you can charge
15 bucks for it.

15 bucks? I've had
three of them already.

For you,
it's on the house.

This is the most business
I've done

since I took over
the joint.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Yes?

This might be Miles Silverberg.
Who is this?

Hello? He--

That's the fourth time
today.

Someone keeps calling me,
breathing heavily,

and hanging up.
-Is it Gloria in the mailroom?

She resents that you make her
send out your Hanukkah cards.

It's not Gloria!
There's no caller ID.

This is making me
very nervous.

I'm an executive producer
of a major news show.

I could be a target.

Corky,

do you have
Li'l Lucy with you?

Maybe.

Would you...

...walk me to my car?

You hear that?
Now that he needs us,

we're best friends.

Phyllis: Hey, everybody.
Last call!

What do you think,
Mr. Party Animal?

You ready to roll?
Sure.

Unless you want to just hang
for a couple more minutes.

I mean, we really didn't get
a chance to talk at all tonight.

Sure.

Ah.

Great night, huh?
[ Chuckles ]

"You're coming back to work
tomorrow, right, Frank?"

"You're gonna be out
in the field again soon,

right, Frank?"
[ Chuckles ]

You're not ready, yet.
Right, Frank?

'Cause if you're not,
no one would blame you.

Hey.

I've been in
scary situations before.

Remember Libya?

Yeah, you were roughed up
pretty well there, too.

But I filed that
away under

"bad stuff that can only
happen in another country."

But I'm home, Murph.

This is America, and...

...I don't feel safe
here anymore.

You know, we spent the last
five days in the hospital room.

Never during that time

did I have any idea
you were afraid.

If this is the way it's gonna
be...I-I'm not so sure

I want to do it anymore.

It's a different profession.

No one would ever call
Huntley or Brinkley

enemies of the people.

And the worst part is,

the other morning
on the air --

You soft-peddled that interview.
I saw it.

I can't believe
I did that.

I mean, what happens the next
time I get ahold of a big story

that someone in a position
of power might not like?

Hey, you guys,
closing time.

Okay.
[ Sighs ]

Thanks, Phyllis.

This party is exactly
what the doctor ordered.

Bye, Phyllis.
See you tomorrow.

Just because I didn't
charge you for your drinks,

doesn't mean you can't...

Sometimes I forget
who I'm talking to.
