I'd like to advise
you that you're

00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,120
now interfering with an arrest.

No business in South Africa!
[chanting continues]

00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,270
I cannot allow you
to arrest this man.
5
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,450
He is a presidential candidate.

00:00:31,483 --> 00:00:33,833
MOLLY HARK: Congressman!
- All right?
7
00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:34,296
Now, I can't allow you
to arrest this man.
8
00:00:34,333 --> 00:00:36,663
As I said before,
sir, I'm sorry.
9
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:37,500
You're interfering with--
10
00:00:37,830 --> 00:00:38,330
You're not able
to arrest this man.
11
00:00:38,350 --> 00:00:39,470
Congressman?
12
00:00:38,660 --> 00:00:40,000
You're interfering
with an arrest.
13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,120
Did you have any idea that
you would be this involved?
14

CROWD: (CHANTING) No business!
15
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:43,200
No business in South Africa!
16
00:00:43,233 --> 00:00:44,373
I had no idea.
17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,250
No business!
18
00:00:45,283 --> 00:00:46,153
No business!
19
00:00:46,183 --> 00:00:47,183
No business in South Africa!
20
00:00:47,216 --> 00:00:48,176
What do we want?
21
00:00:48,216 --> 00:00:49,176
Free South Africa!
22
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:50,276
When do we want it?
23
00:00:50,316 --> 00:00:51,176
Now!
24
00:00:51,216 --> 00:00:52,166
I'm not going nowhere.
25
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,170
You can't do this to me!
26
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,420
I'm not going nowhere!
27
00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:56,400

00:00:57,316 --> 00:00:58,266
Freedom!
PROTESTER: No!

00:00:58,300 --> 00:00:59,180
You're not gonna

CROWD: Now!

00:01:05,166 --> 00:01:06,196
What do we want?

00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:07,383
MOLLY HARK: How do you
feel about this arrest?

00:01:07,416 --> 00:01:09,096
JACK TANNER: When do we want it?
CROWD: Now!
40
00:01:09,133 --> 00:01:11,833
MOLLY HARK: Do you think that
it's going to make any impact
41
00:01:11,116 --> 00:01:12,296
on your election [inaudible].

00:01:12,333 --> 00:01:14,333
[crowd chanting]
43
00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:15,280
Come on, I have to
ask the questions.
44
00:01:15,316 --> 00:01:16,446
JACK TANNER: What do we want?

JOAN CUSHING: (SINGING)
Exercise your right to vote.
50
00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:25,380
Keep democracy afloat.
51
00:01:25,416 --> 00:01:27,496
Oh, all the candidates
sound the same.
52
00:01:27,830 --> 00:01:29,480
Close your eyes and
pick a name and vote.
53
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,180
Exercise your right to choose.
54
00:01:33,216 --> 00:01:36,216
From all the
turkeys on the news.
55
00:01:36,250 --> 00:01:39,500
And if nobody turns
you on, pick the least
56
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:42,370
offensive one and vote.
57
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,130
Jesse Jay, I'm overdosed.
58
00:01:45,166 --> 00:01:48,216
Gephardt's K-Car,
I've been grossed out.
59
00:01:48,250 --> 00:01:49,420
Though Gore I've
had an earful of,
60
00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:52,180
it's Tipper who I'm
fearful of the most.
61
00:01:52,216 --> 00:01:54,296
Imagine Tipper Gore
in the White House?
62
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:57,833
It's goodbye, Smothers Brothers.
63
00:01:57,116 --> 00:01:59,216
And the bad news is every
one of these guys is going
64
00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:01,200
to be famous for 15 minutes.
65
00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:05,323
But the good news is Richard
Gephardt's 15 minutes are over.
66
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:07,300
[glasses clink, cheering]
67
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,333
Woo!
68
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:10,280
[laughs]
69
00:02:10,316 --> 00:02:13,376
See Jack Tanner on the air.
70
00:02:13,416 --> 00:02:16,226
Realize there's nothing there.
71
00:02:16,266 --> 00:02:18,156
Though saying he's
for real's his pitch,
72
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:21,180
there's nothing in his
spiel for which to vote.
73
00:02:21,216 --> 00:02:24,146
You know, Jack Tanner is
about as real as Ronald
74
00:02:24,183 --> 00:02:25,223
Reagan has been unreal.
75
00:02:28,183 --> 00:02:30,433
Dukakis bad, but
Gephardt, Gore, Jackson,
76
00:02:30,466 --> 00:02:33,416
Simon, Kemp, Hart, or Robertson,
Tanner, Dole, or Georgie Bush.
77
00:02:33,450 --> 00:02:34,320

78
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:35,270
Let's kick--

00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:36,450
[laughs]
80
00:02:36,483 --> 00:02:39,503
Let's kick some tush.
81
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:44,330
I quote-- "Put on your
coat, get off the boat,
82
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:48,100
open your throat and vote."
83
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:49,173
[applause]
84
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,330
TJ: This is-- OK,
yeah, that'll be fine.
85
00:02:50,366 --> 00:02:51,346
Those campaign ideas, can I--
86
00:02:51,383 --> 00:02:52,333
Oh, hey.
87
00:02:52,366 --> 00:02:53,326
Hi, Hayes.
88
00:02:53,366 --> 00:02:54,296
TAGGERTY: Haven't you heard?
89
00:02:54,333 --> 00:02:55,203
Heard what?
90
00:02:55,233 --> 00:02:56,183
How's he doing in there?
91
00:02:56,216 --> 00:02:57,826
He never showed.
92
00:02:57,116 --> 00:02:58,146
He was arrested.
93
00:02:58,183 --> 00:02:59,273
Get out of here, Taggerty.
94
00:02:59,300 --> 00:03:00,330
TAGGERTY: I just
called my office.
95
00:03:00,366 --> 00:03:02,496
They said that he
was trespassing
96
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:03,200
at the South African Embassy.
97
00:03:03,233 --> 00:03:04,203
Trespassing?
98
00:03:04,233 --> 00:03:05,233
Where's my pen?
99
00:03:05,266 --> 00:03:06,196
Alex, too.
100
00:03:06,233 --> 00:03:07,253
There were at some
demonstration.
101
00:03:07,283 --> 00:03:08,253
I don't know.
102
00:03:08,283 --> 00:03:10,283
I'm off to police
headquarters now.
103
00:03:10,316 --> 00:03:11,266
Stevie, right?
STEVIE: [inaudible].
104
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:13,100
Oh my god, when
is this candidate
105
00:03:13,133 --> 00:03:14,233
ever going to grow up?
106
00:03:14,266 --> 00:03:15,216
Is he kidding?
107
00:03:15,250 --> 00:03:16,330
No, no, there must
be some mistake.
108
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:18,416
I mean, Congressman Tanner,
he would never trespass.
109
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:20,200
We got to get over
there right now.
110
00:03:20,233 --> 00:03:21,123
Yeah, come on.
111
00:03:21,150 --> 00:03:22,500
Yeah, come on.
112
00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:23,130
All right, I'll
go get the car.
113
00:03:23,166 --> 00:03:24,326
Hayes.
114
00:03:24,483 --> 00:03:26,123
What?
115
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:26,150
Oh my god.
116
00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:28,420
My parents, they were going
to watch the hearings on TV.
117
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:32,660
[sirens wailing]
118
00:03:34,660 --> 00:03:35,250
To Rooster.
119
00:03:35,283 --> 00:03:36,473
[camera shutters clicking]
120
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,250
Hi.
121
00:03:38,283 --> 00:03:39,153
That's it.
122
00:03:39,183 --> 00:03:40,383
All right.
123
00:03:40,416 --> 00:03:41,366
All right then.
124
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,330
[chatter]
125
00:03:43,660 --> 00:03:44,400
PRIEST: Actually, we're very
pleased with the way things
126
00:03:44,433 --> 00:03:46,353
turned out this afternoon.
127
00:03:46,383 --> 00:03:48,123
Got the police out
here and-- wait a minute.
128
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:49,350
Here comes Tanner.
129
00:03:49,383 --> 00:03:50,473
PRIEST: I'd like to
thank our supporters
130
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,380
here and around the country
and around the world.
131
00:03:51,416 --> 00:03:52,416
MOLLY HARK: What are you doing?
132
00:03:52,450 --> 00:03:55,130
I'd like to thank
DC Police Department.
133
00:03:55,166 --> 00:03:56,466
I'd like to thank Mr. Tanner.
134
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,280
MOLLY HARK: Well, you're
supposed to know your job.
135
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:03,473
This is no good.
136
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,170
This is no good.
137
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,150
[laughs]
138
00:04:07,183 --> 00:04:09,403
[chatter]
139
00:04:09,433 --> 00:04:11,103
How does it feel?
140
00:04:11,133 --> 00:04:12,833
JACK TANNER: Fantastic.
141
00:04:12,116 --> 00:04:13,476
Have you ever been
arrested before?
142
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,380
Did you hear Dukakis's
remark about your arrest today?
143
00:04:17,416 --> 00:04:21,366
I'm sure many of
you are wondering if I
144
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,000
have taken leave of my senses.
145
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:26,300
And I'd like to report
that being arrested today
146
00:04:26,333 --> 00:04:29,323
was a matter of conviction.
147
00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:32,380
But the fact of the matter
was, it was an accident.
148
00:04:32,416 --> 00:04:34,366
But what's happening
in South Africa today
149
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,250
is not to an accident.
150
00:04:36,283 --> 00:04:39,003
It's deliberate
oppression on the part of
151
00:04:39,330 --> 00:04:41,270
the tiny privileged minority.
152
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:44,450
And-- and what my father and
I, and the other people who
153
00:04:44,483 --> 00:04:47,133
got arrested here today
are trying to say,
154
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:49,226
is that it's time to stand up.
155
00:04:49,266 --> 00:04:52,446
It's time to put our bodies
where our mouths are.
156
00:04:52,483 --> 00:04:54,103
Or words to that effect.
157
00:04:54,133 --> 00:04:56,323
When my father gets
elected president,
158
00:04:56,350 --> 00:05:01,130
he will withdraw USA that now
permits South Africa to finance
159
00:05:01,166 --> 00:05:03,276
UNITA, and the Mozambique
National Resistance
160
00:05:03,316 --> 00:05:04,476
in their surrogate wars.
161
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,660
How much is the bail?
162
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:07,100
Oh, don't worry, Andrew.
163
00:05:07,133 --> 00:05:08,353
He's working on your
legal defense fund.
164
00:05:08,383 --> 00:05:10,103
We need to get our
work on Amy Carter here.
165
00:05:10,133 --> 00:05:11,203
Yeah.
166
00:05:11,233 --> 00:05:12,403
Congressman, congressman,
I just want you to know,
167
00:05:12,433 --> 00:05:15,663
I really believe
in your innocence.
168
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:17,280
And I believe in yours as well.
169
00:05:17,316 --> 00:05:19,126
[laughs]
170
00:05:19,166 --> 00:05:21,196
Except for my father,
there is a conspiracy
171
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:24,323
of silence against
the apartheid issue
172
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:25,430
from all the other candidates.
173
00:05:25,466 --> 00:05:28,166
I mean, where is
Jesse Jackson today?
174
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,660
Why is he not out here with us?
175
00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:32,400
We ask you to join
with us today.
176
00:05:32,433 --> 00:05:33,433
No business.
No business.
177
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:34,446
Get her.
178
00:05:34,483 --> 00:05:36,333
ALEX TANNER: No business
in South Africa.
179
00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:37,000
Get the hook.
180
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:38,150
ALEX TANNER: No business.
181
00:05:38,183 --> 00:05:40,403

No business in South Africa.

No business.

No business.

No business in South Africa.

No business.

No business.
187
00:05:46,366 --> 00:05:47,296
No business in South Africa.
188
00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:48,353
Jack, we're going to the car.
189
00:05:48,383 --> 00:05:49,383
JACK TANNER: We're
Staying right here.
190
00:05:49,416 --> 00:05:51,496
Oh, OK.
191
00:05:51,830 --> 00:05:52,150
We're not going to the car.
JACK TANNER: Hayes, listen.
192
00:05:52,183 --> 00:05:53,153
I'm going to need to see you--
193
00:05:53,183 --> 00:05:54,223
Hurry up.
194
00:05:54,250 --> 00:05:56,480
TJ: I want you to know
how much I love that.
195
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,450
Wow, I love that.
196
00:05:58,483 --> 00:05:59,433
Love it.
197
00:05:59,466 --> 00:06:02,826
How I worry you.
198
00:06:02,116 --> 00:06:03,216
Ha ha.
CROWD: Freedom yes.
199
00:06:03,250 --> 00:06:04,350
Apartheid, no.

00:06:04,383 --> 00:06:05,183
REPORTER: Did you do any
reading while you were in jail?
201
00:06:05,216 --> 00:06:06,246
I beg your pardon?
202
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:08,333
REPORTER: [inaudible]
while you were in jail?
203
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:10,160
Um-- so it hasn't much.
204
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:12,660
I didn't go through.
205
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:13,250
What'd you say, Molly?
206
00:06:13,283 --> 00:06:14,173
MOLLY HARK: How do you feel
about your daughter's speech?
207
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,660
[inaudible]?
208
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:16,100
Well, oh yeah, what a kid.
209
00:06:16,133 --> 00:06:17,003
CROWD: Freedom yes!
210
00:06:17,330 --> 00:06:18,170
Apartheid, no!

On November 8th, 1987, Jack
Tanner wrote in his journal,

"Last night, TJ and
I watched Ginsburg

withdraw his nomination
for the Supreme Court.
214
00:06:27,216 --> 00:06:29,176
I'm obviously going to
have to give some thought
215
00:06:29,216 --> 00:06:31,196
to the whole question
of past drug use

00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:35,133
Ooh, thank you.
219
00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:35,170
STRINGER: Deke,
you got a minute?
220
00:06:35,166 --> 00:06:36,326
Thank you very much.
221
00:06:36,450 --> 00:06:37,330
Oh, sorry.
222
00:06:36,660 --> 00:06:37,370
You've ruined my soundtrack.
223
00:06:37,366 --> 00:06:38,376
I thought you'd be done by now.
224
00:06:38,416 --> 00:06:41,496
Well, I have about
25 words of voice left.
225
00:06:41,830 --> 00:06:42,830
What do you want?
- Nothing.
226
00:06:42,116 --> 00:06:43,246
It can wait.
227
00:06:43,283 --> 00:06:45,203
I just wanted to get your advice
on a clip I'm sending out.
228
00:06:45,233 --> 00:06:47,333
My advice?
229
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:51,330
Someone around here wants
my advice on something?
230
00:06:51,660 --> 00:06:52,500
I know the feeling.
231
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:54,000
Oh, what are you
talking about, man?
232
00:06:54,330 --> 00:06:55,250
You're the media director.
233
00:06:55,283 --> 00:06:56,423
You're the man, right?
234
00:06:56,450 --> 00:06:58,320
Yeah, right.
235
00:06:58,350 --> 00:07:00,450
What are you saying
here, you're not?
236
00:07:00,483 --> 00:07:02,833
I'm saying anything, Deke.
237
00:07:02,116 --> 00:07:03,146
Forget it.
238
00:07:03,183 --> 00:07:05,373
DEKE: Hey, hey, hey,
come on, talk to me, man.
239
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,270
You brought me on
board, remember?
240
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:11,480
Yeah, well, if your ass
is history, so is mine.
241
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,830
And I'm telling you, I'm in
no position to lose this gig.
242
00:07:15,116 --> 00:07:17,296
I owe six grand to NYU.
243
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:20,503
I owe $2,700 on my handy cam.
244
00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:21,450
I'm paying $300 a
month on a marriage
245
00:07:21,483 --> 00:07:23,183
that lasted about five minutes.
246
00:07:23,216 --> 00:07:25,176
And now you're telling
me that the guy
247
00:07:25,216 --> 00:07:29,326
who talked me into this train
wreck's about to take a fall?
248
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:31,326
That sucks man.
249
00:07:31,366 --> 00:07:35,116
That sucks in a big way.
250
00:07:35,150 --> 00:07:36,320
No, really, don't
worry about me.
251
00:07:36,350 --> 00:07:38,000
I'm fine.
252
00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:39,450
Go ahead.
253
00:07:39,483 --> 00:07:41,403
Well sure, go ahead.
254
00:07:41,433 --> 00:07:44,473
This is great.
255
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,400
For I have come here today
not to bury Ronald Reagen,
256
00:07:47,433 --> 00:07:51,333
but to praise him for leaving
us nowhere to go but onward
257
00:07:51,366 --> 00:07:53,346
and upward.
258
00:07:53,383 --> 00:07:56,133
Forgive them, Father, for
they know not what they do!
259
00:07:56,166 --> 00:08:00,116
But unfortunately, I'm afraid
they know all too well.
260
00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:01,160
CROWD: No guns.
261
00:08:01,450 --> 00:08:02,480
No arms.
262
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:03,160
No trade.
263
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,330
No aid.
264
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:05,160
No guns.
265
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,420
No trade.
266
00:08:05,450 --> 00:08:06,350
[knock on door]
267
00:08:06,383 --> 00:08:07,353
Who is it?
268
00:08:07,383 --> 00:08:09,183
- The latest Bonnie and Clyde.
- Hi.
269
00:08:09,216 --> 00:08:10,166
ANDREA: You're on the news.
270
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,660
We are?
271
00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:11,480
ANDREA: Yes.
272
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:12,380
Ah!
273
00:08:12,416 --> 00:08:13,276
Great!
274
00:08:13,316 --> 00:08:15,126
Oh my god!
275
00:08:15,166 --> 00:08:16,826
You should have been there.
276
00:08:16,116 --> 00:08:17,246
It was incredible.
277
00:08:17,283 --> 00:08:18,423
There were about 20 of us.
278
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:21,330
And we all handcuffed
ourselves to one another.
279
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:23,220
And the pigs had to cut us apart
with these huge wire clippers.
280
00:08:23,250 --> 00:08:25,250
And then they shoved us in these
v-- they took us headquarters
281
00:08:25,283 --> 00:08:26,273
and they had us fingerprinted.
282
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:27,380
Great.
283
00:08:27,416 --> 00:08:29,656
You're not getting that
stuff on my blouse, are you?
284
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,350
Oh no, I washed my hands.
285
00:08:30,383 --> 00:08:31,273
What'd you do all day?
286
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:32,370
I made some calls.
287
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:33,480
Yeah, that's what I thought.
288
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,270
I wasted my one call trying
to get through to you.
289
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:37,000
[laughs]
ALEX TANNER: I called the dorm.
290
00:08:37,330 --> 00:08:38,380
I talked to about 10
people in my hall.
291
00:08:38,416 --> 00:08:40,246
None of them would believe
where I was calling from.
292
00:08:40,283 --> 00:08:41,453
Where are you going?
ANDREA: The office.
293
00:08:41,483 --> 00:08:43,223
I have an appointment.
- Oh, come on.
294
00:08:43,250 --> 00:08:44,180
I just got out of the joint.
295
00:08:44,216 --> 00:08:45,466
So order a steak.
296
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,830
I'll see you later.
297
00:08:47,116 --> 00:08:48,246
OK.
298
00:08:48,283 --> 00:08:50,663
ALEX TANNER: Dad,
you're missing me
299
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,400
speech. --other people say it
would compromise his integrity.
300
00:08:52,433 --> 00:08:54,453
But what is integrity?
301
00:08:54,483 --> 00:08:57,423
STRINGER: Did you ever
believe in something, Deke?
302
00:08:57,450 --> 00:09:00,660
I mean, really
believe in something?
303
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,150
I used to believe
in commercials.
304
00:09:03,183 --> 00:09:06,283
Yeah, they were so
real to me as a kid.
305
00:09:06,316 --> 00:09:09,166
You remember that one, that
Rolaids commercial, where
306
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,000
the tablet would digest
all the blue stomach acid,
307
00:09:13,330 --> 00:09:14,330
turn it clear?
308
00:09:14,660 --> 00:09:16,120
God, I thought that.
309
00:09:16,150 --> 00:09:18,230
I went out, got about
20 packs of Rolaids.
310
00:09:18,266 --> 00:09:21,216
Poured them in this
can of blue paint.
311
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:24,370
I figured, you know, it
would turn the paint clear.
312
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Then I'd paint myself
with it, become invisible,
313
00:09:28,330 --> 00:09:29,280
and go beat the
shit out of this guy
314
00:09:29,316 --> 00:09:32,296
who'd been hassling me school.
315
00:09:32,333 --> 00:09:34,253
So?
316
00:09:34,283 --> 00:09:38,123
So the paint
didn't turn clear.
317
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:41,370
Next day I got
pounded, as usual.
318
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,470
And uh, that's the last time
I believed in a commercial.
319
00:09:48,466 --> 00:09:51,166
Is that what you meant?
320
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,380
[laughs]
321

against apartheid.

Hi, mom.

ALEX'S MOM (ON PHONE):
Are you all right?
328
00:10:03,133 --> 00:10:04,203
Yeah, I'm OK.

ALEX'S MOM (ON PHONE): I'm
watching you right now.
330
00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:06,170
ALEX TANNER: You're
watching it now?
331
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,180
On which network?
332
00:10:07,216 --> 00:10:08,326
ALEX'S MOM (ON PHONE): NBC.
333
00:10:08,366 --> 00:10:09,466
ALEX TANNER: Hold on.
It's mom.
334
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,160
She's watching it now on TV.
335

MOLLY HARK: (ON TV) As
with Tanner himself,

00:10:13,330 --> 00:10:13,350
ALEX'S MOM (ON PHONE):
You have a real police

Yeah.
340
00:10:15,183 --> 00:10:16,203
Yeah, I know.
341
00:10:16,233 --> 00:10:19,133
My FBI file is growing daily.

00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:21,346
This is Molly Hark,
NBC News, Washington.

00:10:27,333 --> 00:10:28,253
Uh-huh.

346
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,300
Oh, that's OK.
347
00:10:30,333 --> 00:10:33,833
Now listen, we understand
each other here, don't we?
348
00:10:33,116 --> 00:10:34,216
Yeah, yeah, we're
on background.
349
00:10:34,250 --> 00:10:36,200
So do you have these negative
spots in production yet?
350
00:10:36,233 --> 00:10:38,663
Let's be clear,
no direct quotes.
351
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:42,220
This is simply the view of the
campaign as you "perceive" it.
352
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,400
All right?
353
00:10:43,433 --> 00:10:45,273
Now, I don't have
anything against Dukakis
354
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,220
or any of his people.
- Of course you don't.
355
00:10:47,250 --> 00:10:50,170
I just want our
position put into play.
356
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,380
Now, I don't envision
the use of attack videos.
357
00:10:52,416 --> 00:10:54,426
It's not really Jack's style.
358
00:10:54,466 --> 00:10:58,346
But Estrich has to know that
she's got to rein Dukakis in.
359
00:10:58,383 --> 00:11:00,663
Warning shot duly noted.
360
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:03,830
Now what do I get, a
bullet in the ass for you?
361
00:11:03,116 --> 00:11:08,216
Well, how about the advanced
text of Jack's testimony
362
00:11:08,250 --> 00:11:10,200
before the committee on Tuesday?
363
00:11:10,233 --> 00:11:12,503
Oh, please.
364
00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:14,470
Do I look like I'm in need
of general anesthesia?
365
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,480
No, give me your internals.
366
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,130
What are your polling
reports on Ohio?
367
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:20,326
No way, no way.
368
00:11:20,366 --> 00:11:23,496
We are very happy with our
standing in the expectations
369
00:11:23,483 --> 00:11:25,003
That bad, huh?
370
00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:25,330
game, thank you.
371
00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:26,500
That good.
372
00:11:26,830 --> 00:11:28,420
Oh, you're showing
better than expected?
373
00:11:28,450 --> 00:11:30,130
[laughs]
374
00:11:30,166 --> 00:11:31,656
You're welcome.
375
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:32,160
DAVID: I don't believe you.
376
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:33,200
You've got no momentum.
377
00:11:33,233 --> 00:11:34,253
Your funding's drying up.
378
00:11:34,283 --> 00:11:35,353
STEVIE: Drying up?
379
00:11:35,383 --> 00:11:37,333
Are you kidding?
380
00:11:37,660 --> 00:11:40,160
We're spending the limit
in both Ohio and Indiana.
381
00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:41,160
TJ: That's right.
382
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:42,400
STEVIE: And since
the last debate,
383
00:11:42,433 --> 00:11:45,333
contributions have been up
since, by a factor of four.
384
00:11:45,366 --> 00:11:46,996
TJ: That's exactly right.
385
00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:48,430
Why do you think we're putting
in 10 new telephone lines?
386
00:11:48,466 --> 00:11:49,426
STEVIE: Yeah.
- Uh, ma'am?
387
00:11:49,466 --> 00:11:51,656
STEVIE: You're buying
into the Dukakis
388
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:52,320
inevitability scenario, David.
389
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:54,660
Listen, there
are four candidates
390
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,380
and they all have
playable leverage.
391
00:11:55,416 --> 00:11:57,416
This convention is
going to be wide open.
392
00:11:57,450 --> 00:11:59,220
Ma'am, excuse me,
but I think there's a--
393
00:11:59,250 --> 00:12:01,330
Now look, the thing that you
have got to concentrate on,
394
00:12:01,366 --> 00:12:02,376
David, the main issue here is--
395
00:12:02,416 --> 00:12:03,316
VOLUNTEER: TJ?
TJ?
396
00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:04,220
Yeah?
397
00:12:04,250 --> 00:12:06,170
Congressman Kennedy on 72.
398
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,660
TJ: OK.
399
00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:08,330
I have to take this.
400
00:12:08,466 --> 00:12:09,376
OK, I got to go anyway.
401
00:12:08,660 --> 00:12:09,420
OK?
402
00:12:09,416 --> 00:12:10,296
Thank you.
403
00:12:13,216 --> 00:12:14,446
Stevie?
404
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,120
TJ: Hi, Joe, listen,
I'm really sorry I
405
00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:17,830
couldn't get back to you--
406
00:12:17,116 --> 00:12:18,196
OK, what's the
deal with Kennedy?
407
00:12:18,233 --> 00:12:19,223
TJ: Just a minute, all right?
408
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:21,430
Well, TJ's an
impressive lady, David.
409
00:12:21,466 --> 00:12:23,276
Eventually every
candidate she works for
410
00:12:23,316 --> 00:12:25,326
becomes hopelessly
dependent on her.
411
00:12:25,366 --> 00:12:26,366
I mean, even Jack.
412
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,130
Listen, could you
wait just a minute?
413
00:12:28,166 --> 00:12:29,166
It's just that my
work end order says--
414
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,230
Listen to me, OK?
415
00:12:30,266 --> 00:12:32,196
You know you're taking
out 10 telephone lines.
416
00:12:32,233 --> 00:12:34,103
I know you're taking
10 telephone lines.
417
00:12:34,133 --> 00:12:36,003
So take out the goddamn
telephone lines.
418
00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:36,430
OK?
419
00:12:36,466 --> 00:12:38,096
Do it.
420
00:12:38,133 --> 00:12:40,273
The thing about
TJ is, she doesn't
421
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:44,500
really care about making
it work once her guy is in.
422
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:46,350
I mean, now, I'm not
telling you anything that TJ
423
00:12:46,383 --> 00:12:48,223
wouldn't tell you herself.
424
00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:51,330
She just gets off on the
action of the campaign.
425
00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:52,380
Yeah, well, we never
can count on him.
426
00:12:52,416 --> 00:12:54,996
He's so goddamn inconsistent.
427
00:12:55,330 --> 00:12:56,220
Yeah.
428
00:12:56,250 --> 00:12:57,230
I know.
429
00:12:57,266 --> 00:12:58,296
This is for you.
430
00:12:58,333 --> 00:12:59,233
Hi, how you doing?
431
00:12:59,266 --> 00:13:01,126
Mr. Seidelman,
what a surprise.
432
00:13:01,166 --> 00:13:02,466
David, Andrea, remember?
David?
433
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,370
I'm sorry.
434
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,330
What is Reagan's problem?
435
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:06,300
Doesn't he like children?
- Andrea.
436
00:13:06,333 --> 00:13:07,303
David.
JACK TANNER: Oh, no, it's OK.
437
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:08,403
God knows his
children don't like him.
438
00:13:08,433 --> 00:13:10,153
ANDREA: I think it's my
upbringing, you know?
439
00:13:10,183 --> 00:13:12,303
Respecting your
elders and all that.
440
00:13:12,333 --> 00:13:13,233
[laughs]
441
00:13:13,266 --> 00:13:14,416
DAVID: Your what?
442
00:13:14,450 --> 00:13:15,450
TJ: Well, that's a tasty morsel.
443
00:13:15,483 --> 00:13:17,133
Andrea, don't ever change.
444
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:18,326
Oh yeah.
445
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:19,000
Well, make up your mind.
446
00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:20,130
Well, you can count on her.
447
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,496
Anyway, do you guys want
copies of Jack's testimony
448
00:13:22,830 --> 00:13:23,170
Tuesday?
449
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,130
When do you think you
can get back to me on that?
450
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:25,326
Uh-huh.
451
00:13:25,366 --> 00:13:26,226
Did I mention that we're having
a clearance sale on that item?
452
00:13:26,266 --> 00:13:27,196
What is this?
453
00:13:27,233 --> 00:13:29,663
ANDREA: Jack's
testimony Tuesday.
454
00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:31,320
You know, it's
really eerie seeing
455
00:13:31,350 --> 00:13:34,480
what he's actually going to say
before he says it, isn't it?
456
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,100
- What testimony?
- OK.
457
00:13:36,133 --> 00:13:37,203
OK.
458
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:40,353
Hey, come on, you know.
you're the media director.
459
00:13:40,383 --> 00:13:42,833
Does anybody want
to look at this stuff?
460
00:13:42,116 --> 00:13:43,246
- Hmm.
- Or look--
461
00:13:43,283 --> 00:13:44,233
- Listen, David--
- TJ.
462
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:45,396
--it was really
nice talking to you,
463
00:13:45,433 --> 00:13:46,153
but I'm kind of busy right now.
- Maybe I'll shoot myself.
464
00:13:49,150 --> 00:13:52,830
How's it going down there?
465
00:13:52,116 --> 00:13:54,146
What--
466
00:13:54,183 --> 00:13:55,153
[sighs]
467
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,120
Wow.
468
00:13:58,150 --> 00:13:59,450
Stringer's out of the loop, huh?
469
00:13:59,483 --> 00:14:00,433
[phone rings]
470
00:14:00,466 --> 00:14:02,496
Excuse me, I think
that's my phone.
471
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,170
Good to know.
472
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,400
[piano playing]
473
00:14:09,433 --> 00:14:12,123
What?
474
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:13,200
Hello, everybody.
475
00:14:13,233 --> 00:14:15,503
Welcome to the Omni
Shoreham Marquee Cabaret.
476
00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:16,180
My name is Joan Cushing.
477
00:14:16,216 --> 00:14:18,326
And I'm going to
sing some hopefully
478
00:14:18,660 --> 00:14:19,330
funny songs about politicians.
479
00:14:19,366 --> 00:14:21,476
So I should say, how many here--
how many people in this room
480
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,220
are for Jack Tanner
for president?
481
00:14:23,250 --> 00:14:24,180
[throat clears]
482
00:14:24,216 --> 00:14:26,176
Ah, nobody wants
to admit it, huh?
483
00:14:26,216 --> 00:14:27,346
Sorry.
484
00:14:27,383 --> 00:14:30,123
How many people have heard
of Jack Tanner for president?
485
00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:31,170
[laughs]
486
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,430
Well, I'm going to
do a song that I
487
00:14:32,466 --> 00:14:36,326
wrote for him, since I see one
of his campaign members here.
488
00:14:36,366 --> 00:14:37,296
KITTMAN: Hey, Stringer!
489
00:14:37,333 --> 00:14:38,453
Over here.
Over here.
490
00:14:38,483 --> 00:14:40,303
JOAN CUSHING: (SINGING)
Jack Tanner for president--
491
00:14:40,333 --> 00:14:41,353
Come on.
Come on.
492
00:14:41,383 --> 00:14:42,303
Good to see you.
493
00:14:42,333 --> 00:14:43,483
- Hi, how you doing?
- I'm fine.
494
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,120
Is that what you're drinking?
- Yeah.
495
00:14:45,150 --> 00:14:46,830
Take a seat.
496
00:14:46,116 --> 00:14:47,146
Be with you in a second.
- Thanks.
497
00:14:47,183 --> 00:14:48,283
I'm not about to [inaudible].
I know, I know.
498
00:14:48,316 --> 00:14:49,276
I'm busy.
I'm a busy man.
499
00:14:49,316 --> 00:14:50,366
Do me a favor, darling.
500
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,130
Come by here and see him, OK?
501
00:14:52,166 --> 00:14:53,826
Play a hand and sit.
502
00:14:53,116 --> 00:14:54,176
You're going places.
503
00:14:54,216 --> 00:14:56,326
[sighs]
504
00:14:56,660 --> 00:14:57,220
Lots of women, huh?
505
00:14:57,250 --> 00:14:58,120
Ooh, you betcha.
506
00:14:58,150 --> 00:14:59,430
DC is the land o' opportunity.
507
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:00,996
Yeah, it's 4:1 here.
508
00:15:01,330 --> 00:15:03,160
You won't have any problems.
509
00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:04,480
A guy like you, you want
to have freedom of choice.
510
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,330
JOAN CUSHING: (SINGING)
Jack Tanner for president.
511
00:15:07,660 --> 00:15:09,180
That's our campaign song.
512
00:15:09,216 --> 00:15:15,216
Jack Tanner for president,
won't you come along?
513
00:15:15,250 --> 00:15:16,400
The future's now.
514
00:15:16,433 --> 00:15:21,503
He'll show us how to set
this country straight.
515
00:15:21,830 --> 00:15:27,130
Jack Tanner for
president of 1988.
516
00:15:27,166 --> 00:15:30,126
That is, if Jesse Jackson
doesn't close the gate on him.
517
00:15:30,166 --> 00:15:33,376
Which I think he already did.
518
00:15:33,416 --> 00:15:34,366
[applause]
519
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,350
Or Dukakis!
520
00:15:35,383 --> 00:15:38,333
[cheering]
521
00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:41,220
[piano playing]
522
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:44,250
This song is a song
I wrote about Ronald
523
00:15:44,283 --> 00:15:48,173
Reagan and drug testing.
524
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,370
If you're visiting America
from a foreign land--
525
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,270
[clears throat]
526
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,500
So what Rogan tells me tracks.
527
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:57,120
What's Rogan tell you?
528
00:15:57,150 --> 00:16:00,420
Mm, you might be
interested in a new venue.
529
00:16:00,450 --> 00:16:04,200
Uh, I don't know yet, Barney.
530
00:16:04,233 --> 00:16:05,273
What can you offer me?
531
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:07,400
Well, that depends on
what you can do for us.
532
00:16:07,433 --> 00:16:09,173
And now that Mikey's
leading the field,
533
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,330
he has no shortage
of new best friends.
534
00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:14,120
I am beating back boarding
parties every day.
535
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:15,120
You know what I can do.
536
00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:17,230
Mhm, you betcha.
537
00:16:17,266 --> 00:16:19,376
That Tanner operation was
all band-aid and strings.
538
00:16:19,416 --> 00:16:23,826
And then you parlayed those ants
into a shitload of free media
539
00:16:23,116 --> 00:16:24,366
and put it back in the money.
540
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,150
Man, you got to be golden.
541
00:16:27,183 --> 00:16:29,303
So why you so hot to
jump to the caucus?
542
00:16:29,333 --> 00:16:32,423
I haven't said I am.
543
00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:34,250
I've had a little
fall from grace.
544
00:16:34,283 --> 00:16:38,183
[laughter]
545
00:16:38,216 --> 00:16:39,476
Another double
for my friend here.
546
00:16:44,483 --> 00:16:48,133
[phone ringing]
547
00:16:48,166 --> 00:16:49,366
[music - joan cushing]
- Hello?
548
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,450
GOVERNOR BABBIT
(ON PHONE): What's
549
00:16:50,483 --> 00:16:51,323
happening in this campaign?
- Oh hi, Governor.
550
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:52,400
It's Alex.
551
00:16:52,433 --> 00:16:53,223
GOVERNOR BABBIT (ON
PHONE): Is your father in?
552
00:16:53,250 --> 00:16:54,130
Yeah, he's here.
553
00:16:54,166 --> 00:16:57,326
JOAN CUSHING: And vote, vote.
554
00:16:57,483 --> 00:16:58,433
Governor Babbitt.
555
00:16:57,660 --> 00:16:58,470
Who is it, honey?
556
00:16:58,466 --> 00:16:59,416
Oh.
557
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:01,160
Hi, Bruce?
558
00:17:01,500 --> 00:17:04,170
Bruce Babbitt, brave,
bold, bland Bruce Babbitt,
559
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,200
who actually believes he can
balance a badly-botched budget.
560
00:17:06,233 --> 00:17:07,103
Yeah, I know.
561
00:17:07,133 --> 00:17:08,003
I'm sorry.
562
00:17:08,330 --> 00:17:09,500
I got hung up.
563
00:17:09,830 --> 00:17:13,000
But-- oh yeah, well,
how did the hearing go?
564
00:17:13,330 --> 00:17:14,430
Uh-huh?
565
00:17:14,466 --> 00:17:18,466
Well, um-- you know, we could
go get a bagel or something.
566
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,330
Yeah, where are you?
567
00:17:20,660 --> 00:17:21,660
Well, good.
568
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:22,220
I'll meet you downstairs
in a few minutes.
569
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:23,120
How's that?
570
00:17:23,150 --> 00:17:24,100
Yeah, great.
571
00:17:24,133 --> 00:17:25,003
OK.
OK.
572
00:17:25,330 --> 00:17:26,350
Good.
Bye.
573
00:17:26,383 --> 00:17:28,283
I'll be back in an hour or so.
574
00:17:28,316 --> 00:17:30,326
ALEX TANNER: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
575
00:17:30,660 --> 00:17:31,100
Dukakis?
576
00:17:31,133 --> 00:17:33,183
You know, every time I
hear the word Dukakis,
577
00:17:33,216 --> 00:17:34,216
I want to conjugate it.
578
00:17:34,250 --> 00:17:35,120
Hi.
579
00:17:35,150 --> 00:17:38,350
Do you know-- excuse me?
580
00:17:38,383 --> 00:17:42,163
I feel right at home.
581
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:43,300
you'd think he was
elected already.
582
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,370
Excuse me.
583
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,830
Can I help you?
584
00:17:48,116 --> 00:17:50,126
Yeah, I'm looking for
Mr. Kittman, please.
585
00:17:50,166 --> 00:17:51,246
You're looking
for Mr. Kittman?
586
00:17:51,283 --> 00:17:52,183
STRINGER: Yeah.
587
00:17:52,216 --> 00:17:54,156
May I ask who's
here to see him?
588
00:17:54,450 --> 00:17:55,470
It's Stringer Kincaid.
589
00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:56,000
Sure.
590
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,230
Stringer Kincaid?
(YELLING) Stringer Kincaid
591
00:17:57,266 --> 00:17:59,196
here to see Mr. Kittman!
592
00:17:59,233 --> 00:18:01,333
Not so loud.
593
00:18:01,483 --> 00:18:03,663
Nothing.
594
00:18:01,660 --> 00:18:03,100
What?
595
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:04,330
Oh, down the hall.
596
00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:05,320
On the left.
597
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:06,220
Thanks.
598
00:18:06,250 --> 00:18:07,100
WOMAN: You're welcome.
599
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:11,450
No!
600
00:18:11,483 --> 00:18:15,183
It's the other
door, Mr. Kincaid!
601
00:18:15,216 --> 00:18:16,346
KITTMAN: I don't
know about that,
602
00:18:16,383 --> 00:18:17,383
but the Red Sox have won six
of their first eight games.
603
00:18:17,416 --> 00:18:18,446
Excuse me.
604
00:18:18,483 --> 00:18:20,183
Hey, Stringer.
605
00:18:20,216 --> 00:18:22,346
Susan, go [inaudible].
606
00:18:22,383 --> 00:18:23,273
Come on in.
607
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:24,300
I was just thinking of you.
608
00:18:24,333 --> 00:18:25,203
Hi.
609
00:18:25,233 --> 00:18:27,003
Have a seat.
610
00:18:27,330 --> 00:18:28,330
STRINGER: What's this?
611
00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:29,660
KITTMAN: What, you
don't recognize this?
612
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:30,450
This is your greatest hits tape.
613
00:18:30,483 --> 00:18:33,383
It's an Easter Seal benefit
when the governor of Tennessee
614
00:18:33,416 --> 00:18:35,326
came out and backed Tanner.
615
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:36,830
[laughs]
616
00:18:36,116 --> 00:18:38,496
Man, that must have
given Gore shit fits.
617
00:18:38,830 --> 00:18:39,660
STRINGER: Where'd you get that?
618
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,320
KITTMAN: Got it from CNN.
619
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:42,330
Don't you guys monitor?
620
00:18:42,366 --> 00:18:43,226
Oh, sure.
621
00:18:43,266 --> 00:18:45,446
Yeah, sure you do.
622
00:18:45,483 --> 00:18:48,373
You mean, like,
you compile coverage
623
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,480
of the other candidates?
624
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:51,250
Yeah, well, how else
are you going to counter
625
00:18:51,283 --> 00:18:52,483
the other guy's media position?
626
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,330
I mean, you got
to know what he's
627
00:18:54,660 --> 00:18:55,420
up to, where he's
placing his emphasis,
628
00:18:55,450 --> 00:18:57,350
what he's trying to avoid.
629
00:18:57,383 --> 00:19:00,163
Video clip files track the
evolution of his message
630
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:01,130
he's trying to put across.
631
00:19:01,166 --> 00:19:04,166
Even more important, how
it's playing with the media.
632
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,430
Yeah, but my
god, the resources.
633
00:19:05,466 --> 00:19:08,316
You guys monitor all
this stuff in house?
634
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:11,660
Yeah, Stringer,
now, ask yourself,
635
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:13,250
what does your average
19-year-old volunteer
636
00:19:13,283 --> 00:19:15,353
do better than anything else?
637
00:19:15,383 --> 00:19:18,373
Well, besides that,
he watches television.
638
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,660
Man, these kids are
trained at birth.
639
00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:23,320
They don't think anything of 12
consecutive hours of the tube.
640
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:25,150
Anyway, you ought
to be glad we do.
641
00:19:25,183 --> 00:19:26,453
I would have known how
good you were if I wasn't
642
00:19:26,483 --> 00:19:28,223
checking Tanner's media hits.
643
00:19:28,250 --> 00:19:30,370
Lots of strong stuff there.
644
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,300
I mean, lots of nights he
shouldn't have been on network
645
00:19:32,333 --> 00:19:34,003
but he was.
646
00:19:34,330 --> 00:19:36,450
Because you figured the angle
or a picture, or that sound bite
647
00:19:36,483 --> 00:19:38,353
that just pushed you on.
648
00:19:38,383 --> 00:19:40,323
I was real impressed.
649
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:42,230
I think you ought
to meet Joanna.
650
00:19:42,266 --> 00:19:43,296
Joanna?
651
00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:46,233
Yeah, Joanna Buckley,
Deputy Campaign Manager.
652
00:19:46,266 --> 00:19:48,376
Someone else knows I'm here?
653
00:19:48,416 --> 00:19:49,476
It won't get back to TJ.
654
00:19:52,316 --> 00:19:53,196
You have my word.
655
00:19:57,350 --> 00:19:58,350
You know, it's a truism.
656
00:19:58,383 --> 00:20:02,223
You don't see the
disparities and the hurt
657
00:20:02,250 --> 00:20:05,170
and the pain and the injustice
in your own neighborhood.
658
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,220
Right.
659
00:20:06,250 --> 00:20:07,330
Until you go where
you see it in somebody
660
00:20:07,366 --> 00:20:08,376
else's neighborhood,
where you've
661
00:20:08,416 --> 00:20:10,266
got these vast inequities.
662
00:20:10,300 --> 00:20:11,470
Yeah.
663
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,830
And then all of a sudden, you
come home and you look around
664
00:20:13,116 --> 00:20:14,826
and you say my god, you know?
665
00:20:14,116 --> 00:20:14,476
Yeah.
666
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,280
It's all around here too.
667
00:20:16,316 --> 00:20:18,156
Right.
668
00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:22,160
Just like today, you know,
Alexi grabs the microphone.
669
00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,300
She starts this big
harangue with the press
670
00:20:24,333 --> 00:20:29,003
about what I'm going to do about
South Africa once I'm elected.
671
00:20:29,330 --> 00:20:31,330
Of course, we haven't-- we
haven't discussed any of this.
672
00:20:31,660 --> 00:20:33,330
You know, what am I going to do?
673
00:20:33,660 --> 00:20:34,230
Wrestle the microphone
away from her
674
00:20:34,266 --> 00:20:35,416
and tell her she's grounded?
I don't know.
675
00:20:35,450 --> 00:20:37,330
You said--
676
00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:38,400
So I stand there with
this stupid grin on my face,
677
00:20:38,433 --> 00:20:41,303
you know, while she commits
me to a nine-point policy.
678
00:20:41,333 --> 00:20:42,353
You know?
679
00:20:42,383 --> 00:20:45,123
Yeah, but Jack, I'll
tell you something.
680
00:20:45,150 --> 00:20:47,330
I heard some of that stuff
on the car coming over here.
681
00:20:47,660 --> 00:20:48,120
It's not bad.
- Yeah.
682
00:20:48,150 --> 00:20:49,250
[laughs]
683
00:20:49,283 --> 00:20:51,163
You know, maybe you ought
to listen to your daughter
684
00:20:51,500 --> 00:20:53,000
a little more than
a lot of those
685
00:20:53,330 --> 00:20:54,660
advisors you got out there.
686
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:55,330
Because, you know, she's
in touch with something.
687
00:20:55,366 --> 00:20:56,316
You know what I'm saying?
- She is.
688
00:20:56,350 --> 00:20:57,480
She has it
straightened out there.
689
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,500
But-- but, I mean, I feel
like I'm becoming an innocent
690
00:21:00,830 --> 00:21:01,830
bystander in my own campaign.
691
00:21:01,116 --> 00:21:02,126
You know?
692
00:21:02,166 --> 00:21:05,396
I mean, every day I give
up a little dignity.
693
00:21:05,433 --> 00:21:07,833
I give up a little of my soul.
694
00:21:07,116 --> 00:21:10,826
I make a deal with some
guy that, you know,
695
00:21:10,116 --> 00:21:12,496
I would have walked away
from a few months ago.
696
00:21:12,830 --> 00:21:17,300
I mean, I approve of an ad
campaign that I think stinks,
697
00:21:17,333 --> 00:21:18,383
that I think is humiliating.
698
00:21:18,416 --> 00:21:19,276
You know?
699
00:21:19,316 --> 00:21:21,096
So you just give it up.
700
00:21:21,133 --> 00:21:22,173
You give up a
little bit of your--
701
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,430
they got me-- they got
me where I'm wearing
702
00:21:23,466 --> 00:21:25,166
pancake makeup half the time.
703
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,660
You know what I mean?
704
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:27,400
I come out of jail today.
705
00:21:27,433 --> 00:21:30,353
And my campaign manager's
slipping me her compact
706
00:21:30,383 --> 00:21:33,303
so I'll look good in
front of the camera.
707
00:21:33,333 --> 00:21:37,283
My guys tell me you got to
use hypoallergenic translucent
708
00:21:37,316 --> 00:21:39,326
shine-free blotting powder.
709
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:41,176
[laughs]
710
00:21:41,216 --> 00:21:42,316
Well, I use moisture wear.
711
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:43,430
[laughs]
712
00:21:43,466 --> 00:21:45,096
What's become of us?
713
00:21:45,133 --> 00:21:46,003
You know?
714
00:21:46,330 --> 00:21:47,130
Yeah.
715
00:21:47,166 --> 00:21:50,446
See, pretty soon you'll be
just like the rest of 'em.
716
00:21:50,483 --> 00:21:53,663
And see, you got a chance now.
717
00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:53,470
People know you.
718
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,180
Mhm.
719
00:21:55,216 --> 00:21:57,246
And you got a chance
now to take the next step,
720
00:21:57,283 --> 00:21:59,303
to say, OK, I'm going
to take some risks.
721
00:21:59,333 --> 00:22:02,663
I'll talk honestly,
try to make it work.
722
00:22:02,100 --> 00:22:03,430
Now, it may not.
723
00:22:03,466 --> 00:22:05,326
Yeah.
724
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,200
I mean, God knows I'm
living testament to that.
725
00:22:07,233 --> 00:22:09,273
I mean, you can walk out
there, look people in the eye
726
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:13,420
and say, OK, I'm going
to talk to you straight
727
00:22:13,450 --> 00:22:16,200
about our future, and how it is
Americans have to get together
728
00:22:16,233 --> 00:22:17,353
and start solving
problems rather
729
00:22:17,383 --> 00:22:20,123
than living in this
kind of, you know,
730
00:22:20,150 --> 00:22:23,430
silver screen
stage of unreality.
731
00:22:23,466 --> 00:22:25,146
[humming]
732
00:22:25,183 --> 00:22:26,453
She got anybody
in there with here?
733
00:22:26,483 --> 00:22:27,353
No.
734
00:22:27,383 --> 00:22:28,423
But she's on the phone.
735
00:22:28,450 --> 00:22:29,400
OK.
736
00:22:29,433 --> 00:22:31,133
Hey, you got to
get to know Ashley.
737
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:32,656
She is terrific.
738
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:33,100
Yeah, we've met.
ASHLEY: Mhm.
739
00:22:33,133 --> 00:22:34,003
Oh yeah?
740
00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:35,100
ASHLEY: Mhm.
741
00:22:35,133 --> 00:22:37,373
JOANNA: Jackie, all I know
is what was in the post.
742
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,270
Well, someone's trying
to rattle Susan's cage,
743
00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,170
and I want to know how
seriously to take it.
744
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,130
And well, check it out.
745
00:22:43,166 --> 00:22:45,266
I don't think having Mike go
negative before California
746
00:22:45,300 --> 00:22:46,250
is remotely productive.
747
00:22:46,283 --> 00:22:47,253
Do you?
748
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:48,433
No.
OK, good.
749
00:22:48,466 --> 00:22:49,346
Get back to me.
750
00:22:49,383 --> 00:22:50,253
Right.
751
00:22:50,283 --> 00:22:51,453
Bye bye.
752
00:22:51,483 --> 00:22:53,283
KITTMAN: Joanna, I would like
you to meet Stringer Kincaid.
753
00:23:01,183 --> 00:23:03,123
Hi.
754
00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:04,150
Um--
755
00:23:04,183 --> 00:23:05,203
KITTMAN: Oh, hey,
hey, now, come on now,
756
00:23:05,233 --> 00:23:07,423
let's go by first
impressions, huh?
757
00:23:07,450 --> 00:23:09,270
Barney, do you--
758
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:10,180
Want to be alone?
759
00:23:10,216 --> 00:23:11,826
Yeah, sure.
760
00:23:11,116 --> 00:23:12,326
JOANNA: Do-- do you mind?
761
00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:13,330
No, no, no, not at all.
762
00:23:16,366 --> 00:23:20,316
So how's tricks?
763
00:23:20,350 --> 00:23:22,000
I was always
waiting for somebody
764
00:23:22,330 --> 00:23:25,100
in one of those interviews
to ask one of the candidates,
765
00:23:25,133 --> 00:23:27,373
you know how much
quart of milk costs?
766
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,200
Because I would honestly bet
that 2/3 of them couldn't give
767
00:23:31,233 --> 00:23:35,333
you the price of a quart
of milk within $0.50,
768
00:23:35,660 --> 00:23:37,270
or of a loaf of bread
or a pound of hamburger.
769
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,000
Because they lead lives in
which there is no longer--
770
00:23:41,330 --> 00:23:42,160
they don't do those things.
771
00:23:42,483 --> 00:23:44,323
I mean, that's
how bad it gets.
772
00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:44,350
Yeah.
773
00:23:44,350 --> 00:23:45,450
Ah.
774
00:23:45,483 --> 00:23:47,153
You're running for President
of the United states.
775
00:23:47,183 --> 00:23:49,133
But purpose is what
it's all about.
776
00:23:49,166 --> 00:23:50,216
You got to touch
people out there.
777
00:23:50,250 --> 00:23:53,170
You got to capture
a sense of what it's
778
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,100
all about, what you're doing.
779
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:57,103
The reason you're listening
to all those other guys
780
00:23:57,133 --> 00:24:00,153
is because you're
taking the safe course.
781
00:24:00,183 --> 00:24:02,333
And look, you'll
never win that way.
782
00:24:02,366 --> 00:24:06,166
And if you win, you won't
be prepared to govern.
783
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,300
So why don't you take a chance?
784
00:24:08,333 --> 00:24:11,183
See, I'm on here saying,
look, I took a chance,
785
00:24:11,216 --> 00:24:12,196
got blown out of the water.
786
00:24:12,233 --> 00:24:14,663
Now I'm telling you
to take a chance.
787
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,170
Because I think you
got-- you can do it.
788
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,270
I could get awfully enthusiastic
about it, about you.
789
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:21,200
If you go out to those
people out there and say,
790
00:24:21,233 --> 00:24:24,453
OK, I'm not going to
pander to you anymore.
791
00:24:24,483 --> 00:24:26,103
I'm going to talk
to you honestly
792
00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:29,303
about what you got to do for
the future of our country.
793
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:32,433
Talk-- talk about, you know,
a little bit of sacrifice
794
00:24:32,466 --> 00:24:35,416
for the common good.
795
00:24:35,450 --> 00:24:39,220
Talk about a foreign policy
that involves taking some risks.
796
00:24:39,250 --> 00:24:42,370
Tell them if you're elected
president you'll invite Daniel
797
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,270
Ortega to the White
House and say, OK, we're
798
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:47,200
strong enough and
confident enough to start
799
00:24:47,233 --> 00:24:49,253
acting like the winners we are.
800
00:24:49,283 --> 00:24:51,503
Your daughter is right.
801
00:24:51,830 --> 00:24:53,420
See, what she's saying
out there by her actions
802
00:24:53,450 --> 00:24:57,120
is, I care passionately
about something.
803
00:24:57,150 --> 00:25:01,660
What's she going to read
about you in 20 years?
804
00:25:01,100 --> 00:25:06,180
I, Jack Tanner,
ran for president,
805
00:25:06,216 --> 00:25:08,246
went through all
this crap, listened
806
00:25:08,283 --> 00:25:11,663
to all of these people,
humiliated myself.
807
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,120
And at the end of it, I
lost, and I didn't say
808
00:25:14,150 --> 00:25:15,470
a damn thing in the process.
809
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Uh, you risk being a
footnote in a history book.
810
00:25:20,330 --> 00:25:24,160
You say, I lost and I
didn't make a difference.
811
00:25:24,500 --> 00:25:27,160
What you want to do
in a campaign is say,
812
00:25:27,500 --> 00:25:29,230
I ran, I made a difference.
813
00:25:29,266 --> 00:25:32,366
I'll risk losing,
but I just might win.
814
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,330
And in any event, I'll
make a difference.
815
00:25:35,366 --> 00:25:37,376
JOANNA: Look, Joe, I'm
sorry if it embarrassed you.
816
00:25:37,416 --> 00:25:41,166
If it embarrassed you, imagine
how embarrassed Jack is.
817
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,300
Well, I can iss--
well, who should he go
818
00:25:44,333 --> 00:25:45,483
to on the hill to make amends?
819
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,500
Here he is.
820
00:25:47,830 --> 00:25:48,660
Solid gold, babe.
821
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:48,450
[snorts]
822
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,350
Oh my god.
823
00:25:50,383 --> 00:25:52,163
Ew.
824
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:53,470
Jack, why don't you sit here?
825
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,660
Because-- because you're
not on that committee.
826
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:57,230
I know.
827
00:25:57,266 --> 00:25:59,296
I know, I know you worked
very hard to get him invited.
828
00:25:59,333 --> 00:26:00,383
Ready when you are, big guy.
829
00:26:00,416 --> 00:26:02,146
I appreciate every
effort that you have made.
830
00:26:02,183 --> 00:26:03,283
OK, listen, I got to go.
831
00:26:03,316 --> 00:26:05,166
We're going to watch
the Rocky Horror show.
832
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,220
Yeah, I'll call you later.
833
00:26:06,250 --> 00:26:07,430
Bye.
834
00:26:07,466 --> 00:26:11,316
OK, all right, let me lay
out the concept for you here.
835
00:26:11,350 --> 00:26:14,220
This is like the second stage
of the for real campaign.
836
00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:16,130
I've taken it up a
notch, heightened
837
00:26:16,166 --> 00:26:20,196
the neo reality, invited the
voters into Jack's world.
838
00:26:20,233 --> 00:26:21,283
Le them roam around a bit.
839
00:26:21,316 --> 00:26:23,326
Let them check out what
makes the man tick.
840
00:26:23,366 --> 00:26:25,116
And then ask them, I hope?
841
00:26:25,150 --> 00:26:28,400
It's kind of a guided tour
of your psyche, if you will.
842
00:26:28,433 --> 00:26:30,433
They can't really get close.
843
00:26:30,466 --> 00:26:34,296
But well, I mean, the velvet
ropes are still there.
844
00:26:34,333 --> 00:26:35,273
Velvet ropes?
845
00:26:35,300 --> 00:26:37,180
But the illusion
of intimacy is
846
00:26:37,216 --> 00:26:38,476
sustained throughout the piece.
847
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,120
Or at least it will be.
848
00:26:40,150 --> 00:26:44,000
It's-- oh, the first time
just let it flow over you.
849
00:26:44,330 --> 00:26:44,400
It's rough.
850
00:26:44,433 --> 00:26:46,163
It's real.
851
00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:47,200
It's unexpected.
852
00:26:47,233 --> 00:26:48,323
Oh, God.
853
00:26:48,350 --> 00:26:50,200
Here we go.
854
00:26:50,233 --> 00:26:53,133
DEKE (ON TV): On
November 8, 1987,
855
00:26:53,166 --> 00:26:56,396
Jack Tanner wrote in his
journal, "Last night TJ
856
00:26:56,433 --> 00:26:58,423
and I watched Dough Ginsburg
withdraw his nomination
857
00:26:58,450 --> 00:27:00,470
for the Supreme Court.
858
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,400
I'm obviously--" [inaudible]
It's from your journal.
859
00:27:03,433 --> 00:27:04,283
Hope you don't mind.
860
00:27:04,316 --> 00:27:06,316
(ON TV) --past drug use.
861
00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:08,480
As I told TJ, half
the electorate
862
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,470
grew up experimenting.
863
00:27:14,333 --> 00:27:16,423
Many of them might even
be reassured to learn
864
00:27:16,450 --> 00:27:18,280
I was part of the times.
865
00:27:18,316 --> 00:27:20,276
Admitting to past drug
use might even actually--
866
00:27:20,316 --> 00:27:21,446
See, this was about drugs.
867
00:27:21,483 --> 00:27:23,373
There's lots of other good
stuff in the journal we could
868
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,000
use, you know, in the future.
869
00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:27,170
[sighs]
870
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:34,333
(ON TV) The way I see it,
it's time to get real.
871
00:27:34,366 --> 00:27:37,196
Either we legalize drugs,
regulate and tax them
872
00:27:37,233 --> 00:27:40,333
like liquor, or we treat
them like the threat
873
00:27:40,660 --> 00:27:43,330
to national security they
really are, and send the Marines
874
00:27:43,366 --> 00:27:44,396
into producing countries."
875
00:27:44,433 --> 00:27:46,833
Is that strong, huh?
876
00:27:46,116 --> 00:27:48,316
Are those balls that
clank? (ON TV) "--it's time
877
00:27:48,350 --> 00:27:51,150
to start saving lives.
878
00:27:51,183 --> 00:27:53,273
I'll discuss this
with Lexi tonight.
879
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:56,230
I know she's had strong
feelings ever since her mother's
880
00:27:56,266 --> 00:28:02,826
rehabilitation."
881
00:28:02,116 --> 00:28:05,216
(WHISPERS) Oh my god.
882
00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:08,380
