Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,106 --> 00:00:07,075
Previously on The West Wing...
2
00:00:07,075 --> 00:00:10,344
What you'd see is Victor Campos
sitting courtside with Buckland.
3
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:11,845
If we're going to spend millions
of dollars on tax breaks
4
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,214
we should consider spending it
5
00:00:13,214 --> 00:00:14,515
on people who don't have
millions of dollars?
6
00:00:14,515 --> 00:00:16,950
The veto's an awfully big risk
to take
7
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:18,552
if you can't
promise anything.
8
00:00:18,552 --> 00:00:21,489
Then the veto's
an awfully big risk to take.
9
00:00:21,489 --> 00:00:23,157
TOBY:
We're here to recommend
that you threaten to veto
10
00:00:23,157 --> 00:00:25,093
any repeal of
the estate tax.
11
00:00:28,629 --> 00:00:30,064
( door closes )
12
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:05,766
DOLAN:
Good evening.
13
00:01:05,766 --> 00:01:07,034
Are you Dolan?
14
00:01:07,034 --> 00:01:08,736
Yes, and you're
Mr. Kobeleskie?
15
00:01:08,736 --> 00:01:10,003
Koveleskie; with a "v."
16
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,772
We spoke on the phone.
17
00:01:11,772 --> 00:01:13,707
As I said,
I'm the only one here right now.
18
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:15,008
That's okay.
19
00:01:15,008 --> 00:01:16,710
There's usually
seven of us, but...
Yeah.
20
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:17,978
And I'm new.
21
00:01:17,978 --> 00:01:19,747
It's the end
of my second week.
22
00:01:19,747 --> 00:01:21,449
Do you know what to do?
23
00:01:21,449 --> 00:01:23,817
I call the Deputy
Chief of Staff.
24
00:01:23,817 --> 00:01:26,220
And you tell him the
Clerk of the House
had delivered a bill.
25
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:28,088
Then you bring it
to the President
26
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:29,123
for his signature
or veto.
27
00:01:29,123 --> 00:01:30,124
Yeah.
28
00:01:30,124 --> 00:01:31,225
Okay, here it is.
29
00:01:33,127 --> 00:01:35,263
Thank you.
30
00:01:38,166 --> 00:01:41,835
( door closes )
31
00:01:41,835 --> 00:01:46,274
Yes, this is Mr. Dolan in
the Executive Clerk's office.
32
00:01:46,274 --> 00:01:49,076
I'd like Mr. Lyman, please.
33
00:01:49,076 --> 00:01:50,844
Why don't you
just wear a pre-tied tie?
34
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:52,012
'Cause it's not the same.
35
00:01:52,012 --> 00:01:53,681
It looks the same.
36
00:01:53,681 --> 00:01:55,416
The end of the night,
you want to be able
37
00:01:55,416 --> 00:01:57,185
to pull it open
like Tony Bennett.
38
00:01:57,185 --> 00:01:58,952
You think the tie
is the only thing standing
39
00:01:58,952 --> 00:01:59,987
between you and Tony Bennett?
40
00:01:59,987 --> 00:02:02,890
He's also shorter than I am.
41
00:02:02,890 --> 00:02:06,160
Do you know when you're
bringing Buckland back here?
42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,495
I was going to do it
before the entree.
43
00:02:07,495 --> 00:02:09,029
You should do it
after the entree.
44
00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:10,198
Why?
45
00:02:10,198 --> 00:02:11,165
I don't know.
46
00:02:11,165 --> 00:02:12,833
It's more polite.
47
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,535
Is there etiquette for this?
No.
48
00:02:14,535 --> 00:02:16,304
Then why are you
bothering me?
49
00:02:16,304 --> 00:02:17,571
( phone rings )
50
00:02:17,571 --> 00:02:20,874
I need to talk to you
about something.
51
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:22,610
My phone's ringing.
52
00:02:22,610 --> 00:02:23,811
Yeah.
53
00:02:23,811 --> 00:02:25,513
You want to answer it?
54
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:27,114
Can we talk sometime tonight?
55
00:02:27,114 --> 00:02:28,649
Maybe after
the cheese course?
56
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,784
Donna...
57
00:02:32,286 --> 00:02:33,587
Josh Lyman.
58
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:36,257
Yes.
59
00:02:36,257 --> 00:02:37,891
It's here.
60
00:02:37,891 --> 00:02:40,127
Call around.
61
00:02:40,127 --> 00:02:41,128
C.J.:
Quiz me.
62
00:02:41,128 --> 00:02:42,996
TOBY:
I don't think I will.
63
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:44,465
You're a lively
conversationalist.
64
00:02:44,465 --> 00:02:45,633
You won't have any problem...
65
00:02:45,633 --> 00:02:46,467
Quiz me.
66
00:02:46,467 --> 00:02:47,468
Who are you sitting next to?
67
00:02:47,468 --> 00:02:49,370
Dr. Kary B. Mullis
68
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:52,640
recipient of the 1993
Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
69
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,675
Born 1944, North Carolina.
70
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:57,645
He earned his bachelors degree
from Georgia Tech
71
00:02:57,645 --> 00:03:00,614
and his Ph.D. in biochemistry
from my alma mater, UC Berkley.
72
00:03:00,614 --> 00:03:03,551
If all he wants to talk about
is where he's from
73
00:03:03,551 --> 00:03:06,554
where he went to school and what
his name is, you'll be fine.
74
00:03:06,554 --> 00:03:07,221
C.J...
75
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:08,356
It's here?
76
00:03:08,356 --> 00:03:09,657
Yeah.
Uh...
77
00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:11,225
I'll meet you over there.
78
00:03:12,726 --> 00:03:13,994
Toby...
79
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:15,696
It's here.
Yeah, I know.
80
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:18,098
Listen,
the social office called.
81
00:03:18,098 --> 00:03:19,467
And?
Seven Republicans
82
00:03:19,467 --> 00:03:21,569
who RSVP'd for the dinner
aren't going to show up.
83
00:03:21,569 --> 00:03:22,936
Well, it happened.
84
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,438
Do you think we should...
What? Put it off?
85
00:03:24,438 --> 00:03:26,340
Yeah.
No.
86
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:28,709
The President said
he was going to
veto the bill.
87
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,778
C.J. announced
he was going
to veto the bill.
88
00:03:30,778 --> 00:03:33,481
He's going to
veto the bill.
89
00:03:33,481 --> 00:03:36,617
There's an emergency meeting
of the Republican leadership.
90
00:03:36,617 --> 00:03:38,519
What do you think
they're going to be
talking about?
91
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:40,554
I think they're planning
a surprise party.
92
00:03:40,554 --> 00:03:42,656
They could have left
after the entree.
Yeah.
93
00:03:42,656 --> 00:03:44,825
They're going to
miss hot pumpkin soup
with cheese gnocchi
94
00:03:44,825 --> 00:03:46,226
and a chévre brioche.
Yeah.
95
00:03:46,226 --> 00:03:47,428
That's a pretty big
price to pay
96
00:03:47,428 --> 00:03:48,796
just to override my veto.
97
00:03:48,796 --> 00:03:52,032
Maybe they think
they've got the votes.
98
00:03:52,032 --> 00:03:54,702
Maybe something shifted
in the last couple of hours.
99
00:03:54,702 --> 00:03:56,069
Leo...
100
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,338
They just sent the bill up
101
00:03:57,338 --> 00:03:58,372
five minutes ago.
102
00:03:58,372 --> 00:03:59,907
They know
you're going to veto.
103
00:03:59,907 --> 00:04:02,242
Why schedule
an override vote right now?
104
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:04,412
So I'd think twice
about vetoing.
105
00:04:04,412 --> 00:04:07,648
Well, that's what I thought,
too.
106
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:09,817
JOSH:
Good evening, Mr. President.
107
00:04:09,817 --> 00:04:11,184
Where is this thing?
108
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:12,653
It's on its way.
109
00:04:12,653 --> 00:04:15,723
You know what we're
starting with tonight?
110
00:04:15,723 --> 00:04:17,157
No, sir.
Hot pumpkin soup
111
00:04:17,157 --> 00:04:19,026
with cheese gnocchi
112
00:04:19,026 --> 00:04:21,061
and a chévre brioche.
113
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:24,031
Was anything you just said food?
114
00:04:24,031 --> 00:04:25,933
Good evening, Mr. President.
115
00:04:25,933 --> 00:04:26,967
Good evening, sir.
116
00:04:26,967 --> 00:04:29,637
It's on its way.
117
00:04:29,637 --> 00:04:32,306
Seven Republicans who RSVP'd
for the dinner...
We know.
118
00:04:32,306 --> 00:04:34,074
You know that there's
an emergency meeting
119
00:04:34,074 --> 00:04:34,842
of the Republic leadership?
120
00:04:34,842 --> 00:04:36,744
Yeah.
121
00:04:36,744 --> 00:04:38,346
until after the entree.
122
00:04:38,346 --> 00:04:39,880
Maybe they didn't know
about the chévre brioche.
123
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,182
Does anyone
want to consider waiting?
124
00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:45,185
The constitution
gives them ten days.
125
00:04:45,185 --> 00:04:46,854
If it's a show of
strength and resolve
126
00:04:46,854 --> 00:04:47,988
you don't wait to
think about it.
127
00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:49,122
And if they override the veto
128
00:04:49,122 --> 00:04:50,424
it's neither strong
nor resolute.
129
00:04:50,424 --> 00:04:51,725
They don't have the votes
to override.
130
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:53,361
Says you.
Says me, Josh,
131
00:04:53,361 --> 00:04:54,895
the Office
of Political Liaison,
132
00:04:54,895 --> 00:04:55,696
Legislative Liaison,
133
00:04:55,696 --> 00:04:57,264
and the Minority Whip.
134
00:04:57,264 --> 00:04:59,433
Sometimes it's like
I don't even need to be here.
135
00:04:59,433 --> 00:05:01,134
Good evening, Mr. President.
136
00:05:01,134 --> 00:05:02,736
C.J., you look very nice.
137
00:05:02,736 --> 00:05:04,237
Thank you, sir. Is it here?
138
00:05:04,237 --> 00:05:05,806
It's on its way.
139
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,717
I've been seated
next to a chemist tonight.
140
00:05:16,717 --> 00:05:17,518
Mullis?
141
00:05:17,518 --> 00:05:19,086
23 Nobel Prize winners
142
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:20,454
in the East Room.
143
00:05:20,454 --> 00:05:21,989
I couldn't get Literature,
or, I don't know,
144
00:05:21,989 --> 00:05:22,990
Peace or something?
145
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:24,091
What's her problem?
146
00:05:24,091 --> 00:05:25,493
She thinks she won't be able
147
00:05:25,493 --> 00:05:26,960
to make conversation
with the guy,
148
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,596
but she's wrong,
149
00:05:28,596 --> 00:05:31,365
'cause she knows what year
he was born and his name.
150
00:05:31,365 --> 00:05:33,333
They speak in combinations
of letters
151
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:36,069
that don't spell anything
but end up meaning table salt.
152
00:05:36,069 --> 00:05:37,405
Mr. President?
153
00:05:37,405 --> 00:05:39,172
Is it here?
Yes, sir.
154
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,340
Okay.
155
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,144
PRESIDENT:
Hey.
156
00:05:44,144 --> 00:05:45,045
Good evening, Mr. President.
157
00:05:45,045 --> 00:05:45,946
What's your name?
158
00:05:45,946 --> 00:05:47,481
I'm Donald Dolan
159
00:05:47,481 --> 00:05:51,218
from the Office
of the Executive Clerk, sir.
160
00:05:51,218 --> 00:05:53,186
I don't think
the congressional leadership
161
00:05:53,186 --> 00:05:54,922
holds their members
back on a weekend for a bluff.
162
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:58,158
I don't think
they're bluffing, Sam.
163
00:05:58,158 --> 00:06:00,160
I'm sure of it.
Why would they
hold a vote
164
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,497
if they didn't think
they could override?
165
00:06:03,497 --> 00:06:06,834
What do you got in the box,
Mr. Dolan?
166
00:06:06,834 --> 00:06:08,969
Mr. President,
I have House Resolution 10:
167
00:06:08,969 --> 00:06:10,203
The Death Tax
Elimination Act.
168
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:11,872
It bears the signatures
169
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:14,742
of both the Speaker of the House
and the President of the Senate
170
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,810
and is presented to you
171
00:06:16,810 --> 00:06:18,278
by the Congress
of the United States
172
00:06:18,278 --> 00:06:19,179
for your signature or veto.
173
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,848
Excuse me.
174
00:06:20,848 --> 00:06:22,583
Leo, you think we lost some
votes we don't know about?
175
00:06:22,583 --> 00:06:25,185
I think we're
about to find out.
176
00:06:25,185 --> 00:06:26,620
successfully
overrides the veto
177
00:06:26,620 --> 00:06:27,855
we're going
to look weak.
178
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:29,690
If the House successfully
179
00:06:29,690 --> 00:06:31,825
overrides the veto, we are weak.
180
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:36,997
N-A-C-L, C.J.
181
00:06:36,997 --> 00:06:38,065
I'm sorry, sir?
182
00:06:38,065 --> 00:06:39,967
Table salt.
183
00:06:39,967 --> 00:07:30,584
Send it back.
184
00:07:30,584 --> 00:07:33,420
presented the Executive Clerk
with H.R. 10,
185
00:07:33,420 --> 00:07:35,523
a bill repealing the estate tax,
186
00:07:35,523 --> 00:07:37,758
which opponents sometimes call
the "death tax"
187
00:07:37,758 --> 00:07:40,894
or the we're-coming-
to-get-your-children tax.
188
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:43,964
We call it a tax on fewer than
two percent of American estates
189
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:46,099
valued at over a million
dollars, the revenue from which
190
00:07:46,099 --> 00:07:48,869
helps fund frivolous
Democratic spending programs
191
00:07:48,869 --> 00:07:52,540
such as teaching people to read
and curing disease.
192
00:07:52,540 --> 00:07:54,441
As promised,
the President vetoed the bill.
193
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:58,345
This was his first veto since
taking office 33 months ago.
194
00:07:58,345 --> 00:07:59,813
Will there be a vote
to override tonight?
195
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,248
We don't know. Phil.
196
00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:02,916
You know why
the Republican leadership's
197
00:08:02,916 --> 00:08:04,818
meeting in an emergency session?
198
00:08:04,818 --> 00:08:06,319
No.
They've held the
members back.
199
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,522
Would they have done that
if they didn't think
200
00:08:08,522 --> 00:08:10,490
and override?
You'd have to ask them. Yeah?
201
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:11,625
Can you tell us
what you're wearing?
202
00:08:11,625 --> 00:08:12,993
It's a dress.
203
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:13,794
C.J...
204
00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:15,763
Diane Cook. Anything else?
205
00:08:15,763 --> 00:08:18,732
Okay, I'll be in
for periodic briefings
206
00:08:18,732 --> 00:08:20,968
and we'll try not
to keep you too late.
207
00:08:20,968 --> 00:08:22,670
What's Sherri Wexler
doing here?
208
00:08:22,670 --> 00:08:24,872
It's Friday night.
209
00:08:24,872 --> 00:08:27,307
Local news. She was here
to cover the Nobel dinner.
210
00:08:27,307 --> 00:08:29,710
Yeah, but now she's got to cover
a veto override in the House
211
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:30,911
and I'm saying this is a girl
212
00:08:30,911 --> 00:08:32,613
who can barely cover
the Easter Egg hunt.
213
00:08:32,613 --> 00:08:33,647
What, are you afraid
214
00:08:33,647 --> 00:08:35,215
she's going to misspell
Diane Cook?
215
00:08:35,215 --> 00:08:36,917
I need to get back
to dinner.
216
00:08:36,917 --> 00:08:40,053
Do you happen to have a copy of
the Periodic Table of Elements?
217
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:41,054
No.
Okay.
218
00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:42,189
Yeah.
219
00:08:42,189 --> 00:08:43,390
Toby...
What did...
220
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:44,725
That was the Minority
Leader's office.
221
00:08:44,725 --> 00:08:46,293
They've scheduled a vote.
When?
222
00:08:46,293 --> 00:08:47,728
90 minutes.
223
00:08:47,728 --> 00:08:49,196
An hour to debate,
then 20 minutes
to vote.
224
00:08:49,196 --> 00:08:50,430
What do they think?
225
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:51,732
They think they
must be down.
226
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:54,234
How did we lose votes
since yesterday?
227
00:08:54,234 --> 00:08:56,770
A low-in-the-polls President
tells chicken-ass Democrats
228
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:58,471
to vote against a tax cut
in an election cycle.
229
00:08:58,471 --> 00:08:59,807
What could possibly
have gone wrong?
230
00:08:59,807 --> 00:09:01,809
Ginger!
Yeah.
231
00:09:01,809 --> 00:09:03,611
We need ten phone lines
in the Roosevelt Room
232
00:09:03,611 --> 00:09:05,278
and some bodies
from Legislative Affairs.
233
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:06,279
We need the whip count.
234
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,148
The old whip count
doesn't do us any good.
235
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,583
We need a new one.
236
00:09:09,583 --> 00:09:10,584
That's going to take a while.
237
00:09:10,584 --> 00:09:11,585
They're all
sitting there.
238
00:09:11,585 --> 00:09:13,353
Tell them to raise
their hands.
239
00:09:13,353 --> 00:09:15,555
Bonnie?
Yeah.
240
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:17,524
who've headed
for National,
get them back.
241
00:09:17,524 --> 00:09:18,692
Page Delta, United,
American.
242
00:09:18,692 --> 00:09:19,760
Nobody gets on a plane.
243
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,829
They've scheduled
a vote?
244
00:09:21,829 --> 00:09:23,597
They start to debate
in 90 minutes
245
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:24,865
and vote an hour after that.
246
00:09:24,865 --> 00:09:25,899
We need a new
whip count.
247
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:27,835
Ginger, the phones,
the bodies
248
00:09:27,835 --> 00:09:29,737
and keep an open line
to the Whip's office!
249
00:09:29,737 --> 00:09:30,804
GINGER:
It's coming.
250
00:09:30,804 --> 00:09:32,305
And get Leo out of the dinner.
251
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:34,207
Excuse me.
252
00:09:34,207 --> 00:09:35,442
Charlie.
253
00:09:35,442 --> 00:09:37,277
Yeah.
254
00:09:37,277 --> 00:09:38,178
How's the dinner going?
255
00:09:38,178 --> 00:09:39,146
Fine.
256
00:09:39,146 --> 00:09:40,280
You and I should
talk, you know.
257
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,383
Yeah?
258
00:09:43,383 --> 00:09:44,985
Look, I'm not allowed
to talk about it.
259
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:46,219
You know what
it is, right?
260
00:09:46,219 --> 00:09:47,988
I get immunity.
261
00:09:47,988 --> 00:09:49,990
And I'm not allowed
to talk about it.
262
00:09:51,158 --> 00:09:52,993
Hey.
263
00:09:52,993 --> 00:09:54,828
We're waiting
for a new whip count.
264
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:56,529
Listen, how ready is he
on the environment?
265
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:57,898
He's been studying.
266
00:09:57,898 --> 00:10:00,500
I don't think I'll be able
to be in there with him.
267
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,903
I've got this in here.
He'll be all right.
268
00:10:02,903 --> 00:10:05,605
Sometime after the
appetizer, before
the entree.
269
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:06,907
at the latest EPA
stats on child asthma.
270
00:10:06,907 --> 00:10:08,108
All right?
Tell him.
271
00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:09,710
He's got them.
272
00:10:09,710 --> 00:10:11,611
There's three we
can't account for.
273
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:12,412
We think Kimball flipped.
274
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:13,814
If it was Kimball
275
00:10:13,814 --> 00:10:15,115
he'd have taken half
his committee with him.
276
00:10:15,115 --> 00:10:16,216
Toby, the phone
in front of you.
277
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:18,518
Newhouse?
278
00:10:18,518 --> 00:10:19,953
Illinois 17 is safe.
He doesn't want anything.
279
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:21,288
What's happening?
280
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:23,256
There's a vote scheduled.
We don't have the count.
281
00:10:23,256 --> 00:10:25,192
I don't think it's Newhouse.
I don't think it's Kimball.
282
00:10:25,192 --> 00:10:26,860
It's Kimball.
I'm telling you
283
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:28,495
if it's Kimball,
we'd have six...
284
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:29,162
He's on the phone right now.
285
00:10:33,734 --> 00:10:36,369
Congressman,
this is Leo McGarry.
286
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,439
Please come to the White House
right away.
287
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:40,440
Donna!
288
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,474
I'm right here.
289
00:10:41,474 --> 00:10:43,010
Where do you think...
290
00:10:43,010 --> 00:10:44,344
My tie's falling apart.
291
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:45,545
Give me that.
292
00:10:45,545 --> 00:10:46,747
It's not going to be...
293
00:10:46,747 --> 00:10:48,682
You're not going to be
Tom Jones tonight.
294
00:10:48,682 --> 00:10:50,650
Tony Bennett.
295
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,321
The Speaker's
calling a vote?
296
00:10:54,321 --> 00:10:55,488
Yeah.
297
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:56,957
Sam's not going to be able
298
00:10:56,957 --> 00:10:58,859
to be in the Buckland
meeting with you.
299
00:10:58,859 --> 00:10:59,893
I'll be all right.
300
00:10:59,893 --> 00:11:01,394
He wanted to make sure
301
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:02,796
you looked at
the new EPA stats
on child asthma.
302
00:11:02,796 --> 00:11:05,198
I got them.
303
00:11:05,198 --> 00:11:08,535
Can I talk to you
about something personal?
304
00:11:08,535 --> 00:11:09,402
Can it wait
a little bit?
305
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,471
Yeah.
306
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:12,672
How's it look?
307
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,341
Good.
308
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:19,612
Maybe he wants
the compromise
back on the table?
309
00:11:19,612 --> 00:11:21,782
He's ready to settle for
a $10 million exemption
310
00:11:21,782 --> 00:11:23,283
instead of a five million.
311
00:11:23,283 --> 00:11:25,786
Compromising with
a $10 million exemption--
312
00:11:25,786 --> 00:11:27,721
here's a conversation
my father never had.
313
00:11:27,721 --> 00:11:29,322
Leo...
314
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:32,292
You're going to have
to give away something,
315
00:11:32,292 --> 00:11:34,594
but don't give
away the store.
316
00:11:34,594 --> 00:11:36,764
Yeah?
317
00:11:36,764 --> 00:11:38,799
Nancy McNally's
in your office.
318
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:39,833
What's going on?
319
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,634
Something's happened.
320
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:44,604
What's going on?
321
00:11:44,604 --> 00:11:45,939
A bomb went off
outside a cafe
322
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,741
on Ben Yehuda in Jerusalem.
323
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:49,176
It was a suicide bomber.
324
00:11:49,176 --> 00:11:51,879
He detonated explosives
strapped to his body.
325
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:52,946
How bad is it?
326
00:11:52,946 --> 00:11:55,182
Ten people
were killed right away.
327
00:11:55,182 --> 00:11:58,852
It looks about 125 injured--
mostly young adults.
328
00:11:58,852 --> 00:12:01,654
Leo, two of the dead
were American students.
329
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:03,490
We think they
may have been targeted.
330
00:12:06,493 --> 00:12:07,895
All right.
331
00:12:11,131 --> 00:12:13,867
Margaret, I'll be
in the situation room.
332
00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:22,843
Yeah.
333
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:24,878
Leo...
Yeah.
334
00:12:24,878 --> 00:12:26,013
The INP thinks
335
00:12:26,013 --> 00:12:28,248
they have traces of C-4.
336
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:30,317
Did this guy have a car
strapped to his chest?
337
00:12:30,317 --> 00:12:31,218
MAN:
Ten-hut.
338
00:12:31,218 --> 00:12:33,153
Have the parents been notified?
339
00:12:33,153 --> 00:12:35,422
The Consul General
called the parents.
340
00:12:35,422 --> 00:12:37,524
Has anyone
claimed responsibility?
341
00:12:37,524 --> 00:12:39,092
Not yet.
342
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:41,494
In the next hour, everyone
will claim responsibility.
343
00:12:41,494 --> 00:12:44,664
Nancy, hasn't State issued
travel warnings since Bekaa?
344
00:12:44,664 --> 00:12:45,999
They were there
for a soccer match.
345
00:12:45,999 --> 00:12:47,134
The Americans were targeted?
346
00:12:47,134 --> 00:12:48,168
Initial
eyewitness accounts
347
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:49,870
indicate the bomber turned left
348
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,138
to go into the nightclub
349
00:12:51,138 --> 00:12:53,073
then stopped
when he saw two people
350
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:55,008
wearing U.S. delegation
sweatshirts
351
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:56,810
with insignias
and flags.
352
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:57,845
They were brothers--
353
00:12:57,845 --> 00:12:59,046
Ariel and Noah Levy.
354
00:12:59,046 --> 00:13:00,480
He walked up to them
and detonated.
355
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,781
We know this?
356
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:03,316
These are the facts
357
00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:04,784
as relayed by the embassy RSO
at the scene.
358
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:06,519
LEO:
And, Mr. President?
359
00:13:06,519 --> 00:13:08,155
They think they've
found traces of C-4.
360
00:13:08,155 --> 00:13:10,657
You think
there's an Afghan connection?
361
00:13:10,657 --> 00:13:11,925
Or even Iran.
362
00:13:11,925 --> 00:13:13,626
We'll know more
when the FBI attache
363
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:14,594
gives a forensic
analysis.
364
00:13:14,594 --> 00:13:15,762
How long?
365
00:13:15,762 --> 00:13:16,629
NANCY:
45 minutes,
an hour.
366
00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:17,898
I'm going to want
367
00:13:17,898 --> 00:13:19,199
some temperature-cooling
options.
368
00:13:19,199 --> 00:13:22,802
Thank you, sir.
Yes, sir.
369
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,704
Sodium comes from the
English word "soda,"
370
00:13:24,704 --> 00:13:27,007
so wouldn't it make sense
for the periodic symbol
371
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:28,408
to be somehow related to that?
372
00:13:28,408 --> 00:13:30,911
No, because "Na" comes
from the Latin word "natrium."
373
00:13:30,911 --> 00:13:32,079
What does "natrium" mean?
374
00:13:32,079 --> 00:13:32,880
It means "sodium."
375
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,948
Come on in.
376
00:13:36,616 --> 00:13:37,784
I'm pretty well briefed.
377
00:13:37,784 --> 00:13:38,852
Is it on the news yet?
378
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:39,853
Yeah.
379
00:13:39,853 --> 00:13:41,021
They were brothers.
380
00:13:41,021 --> 00:13:42,455
What were
they doing there?
381
00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:44,424
A soccer match.
382
00:13:44,424 --> 00:13:46,359
we think
they were intentional targets?
383
00:13:46,359 --> 00:13:47,861
Not yet, and we can't
release their names.
384
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:49,096
The Levys just lost their sons.
385
00:13:49,096 --> 00:13:50,230
I'll take the heat
for a few hours.
386
00:13:50,230 --> 00:13:51,631
The President'll call them?
Yeah.
387
00:13:51,631 --> 00:13:52,866
Can I tell them
the President's
388
00:13:52,866 --> 00:13:55,435
been in touch
with the Prime Minister?
389
00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:57,737
The Israelis are going to
do what they're going to do,
390
00:13:57,737 --> 00:13:58,805
so ratchet down
expectations.
391
00:13:58,805 --> 00:14:00,007
Anything else?
No.
392
00:14:00,007 --> 00:14:00,740
I'm going to get in there.
393
00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:02,209
Thank you.
394
00:14:05,478 --> 00:14:06,479
Charlie.
395
00:14:06,479 --> 00:14:07,480
Yeah?
396
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,281
Listen, I wanted to...
397
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:09,649
I can't talk about it, C.J.
398
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:12,519
Word is, you're...
399
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:14,955
Say a guy your age
was offered a "Get
Out of Jail Free" card.
400
00:14:14,955 --> 00:14:15,989
Nobody's going to jail.
401
00:14:15,989 --> 00:14:17,357
But everybody's
getting called
402
00:14:17,357 --> 00:14:18,825
and everybody's
getting lawyers
403
00:14:18,825 --> 00:14:19,893
and if you
took immunity...
404
00:14:19,893 --> 00:14:20,928
I'd still need a lawyer.
405
00:14:20,928 --> 00:14:21,794
For a few hours,
not 100 hours.
406
00:14:21,794 --> 00:14:22,930
Look...
407
00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:24,597
I know what you're thinking.
408
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:25,498
I really
can't talk about it.
409
00:14:27,267 --> 00:14:29,669
Okay. I'm going to
change my clothes.
410
00:14:29,669 --> 00:14:30,503
I'll watch.
411
00:14:30,503 --> 00:14:32,472
No.
412
00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:35,943
What the hell's going on?
413
00:14:35,943 --> 00:14:37,077
We're down four votes.
414
00:14:37,077 --> 00:14:38,511
I thought it was one.
415
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:39,980
Three of our guys
416
00:14:39,980 --> 00:14:41,248
are on airplanes,
and out of reach.
417
00:14:41,248 --> 00:14:42,815
Why?
418
00:14:42,815 --> 00:14:43,750
That's where
they wanted to be.
419
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:44,784
Where's Kimball?
420
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:46,019
He's on his way.
421
00:14:46,019 --> 00:14:47,154
Toby's waiting for him.
422
00:14:47,154 --> 00:14:48,588
Josh.
Is he in there?
423
00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:49,589
Yeah.
424
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:50,557
I got to go.
425
00:14:50,557 --> 00:14:52,359
Did you look at the
child asthma stats?
426
00:14:52,359 --> 00:14:53,293
Yeah.
427
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:57,730
Governor.
428
00:14:57,730 --> 00:14:59,099
Josh,
good to see you.
429
00:14:59,099 --> 00:15:00,733
Sorry to interrupt
dinner.
430
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:01,935
You know Pam Wachtel
431
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:03,937
and Jonathan.
432
00:15:03,937 --> 00:15:05,205
I do. Good to see you guys.
433
00:15:05,205 --> 00:15:06,906
Anybody need a drink,
or anything?
434
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:07,807
I'm fine.
No.
435
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:09,909
Thanks, Donna.
436
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,714
( clearing throat )
437
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:20,687
So, Governor,
the president's
a tree-hugger?
438
00:15:20,687 --> 00:15:21,989
"If you want to save
a spotted owl
439
00:15:21,989 --> 00:15:22,990
"vote for Bartlet.
440
00:15:22,990 --> 00:15:24,057
"If you want to save a job
441
00:15:24,057 --> 00:15:25,058
vote for someone else"?
442
00:15:25,058 --> 00:15:26,726
I never said that either.
443
00:15:26,726 --> 00:15:28,895
No, she did, in
the Indianapolis
Post-Dispatch.
444
00:15:28,895 --> 00:15:30,330
You weren't misquoted, right?
445
00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:30,930
No.
446
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,199
Okay, listen.
447
00:15:32,199 --> 00:15:34,601
I wouldn't know a spotted owl
448
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:37,337
if he walked up
and introduced himself,
449
00:15:37,337 --> 00:15:41,241
but I do know the President's
a pro-business pragmatist
450
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:43,710
who has created
3.8 million new jobs.
451
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:45,678
Tell that to an unemployed
steelworker in Indiana
452
00:15:45,678 --> 00:15:47,447
'cause he's working
three of those jobs
453
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:50,050
the President created
just to pay the mortgage.
454
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:51,384
isn't because
of the environment.
455
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:53,853
Of course it is.
Jonathan...
456
00:15:53,853 --> 00:15:56,689
When the president
raised standards
457
00:15:56,689 --> 00:15:59,892
and closed down industrial
plants across the Midwest.
458
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:02,029
that says if we hadn't passed
the Clean Air Act
459
00:16:02,029 --> 00:16:03,330
two million more people
would have suffered
460
00:16:03,330 --> 00:16:06,433
from heart disease, bronchitis,
respiratory...
461
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:08,735
how many healthy people we've
got on the unemployment line?
462
00:16:08,735 --> 00:16:10,870
The EPA stats
on child asthma alone...
463
00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:13,573
BUCKLAND:
I don't want to talk
about child asthma.
464
00:16:13,573 --> 00:16:15,108
Neither does Josh.
465
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:16,909
Will the two of you
excuse us, please?
466
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:17,577
Yes, sir.
467
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:25,252
It doesn't destroy jobs, Jack,
it creates them.
468
00:16:25,252 --> 00:16:27,254
There's a $400 billion
worldwide market
469
00:16:27,254 --> 00:16:30,057
in creating technologies
that are environmentally safe.
470
00:16:30,057 --> 00:16:31,824
You think
a 55-year-old steelworker's
471
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:34,094
going to get a job
building hybrid engines?
472
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,130
Ask me
473
00:16:37,130 --> 00:16:39,366
what you want to know.
474
00:16:44,337 --> 00:16:46,773
You invited Victor Campos
to Indiana.
475
00:16:46,773 --> 00:16:48,175
Yeah.
476
00:16:48,175 --> 00:16:50,810
Pam's quote
in the Post-Dispatch...
477
00:16:50,810 --> 00:16:54,781
Yeah.
478
00:16:54,781 --> 00:16:59,152
Jack, are you going to challenge
the President in the primary?
479
00:16:59,152 --> 00:17:01,321
Let's have that drink.
480
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:07,727
Took you long enough.
481
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:08,828
I was held up.
482
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:11,231
And I'm not about to be.
483
00:17:11,231 --> 00:17:12,865
We can win this
without you.
484
00:17:12,865 --> 00:17:14,401
I've got four proxies
in my pocket
485
00:17:14,401 --> 00:17:15,835
so you can't do anything
without me.
486
00:17:15,835 --> 00:17:18,538
Don't worry about it--
I came with a shopping list.
487
00:17:18,538 --> 00:17:20,407
How does a Democrat from
Tennessee farm country
488
00:17:20,407 --> 00:17:22,375
where we championed
electrification,
489
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:24,644
the Tennessee Valley
Authority, farm
safety nets, the...
490
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:26,979
how do you do this to
a Democratic president?
491
00:17:26,979 --> 00:17:29,649
Estate tax
costs 65 cents on the dollar.
492
00:17:29,649 --> 00:17:31,684
Why would anyone
want to build up...?
493
00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:32,852
That's not my point.
494
00:17:32,852 --> 00:17:33,886
Well, what's the point?
495
00:17:33,886 --> 00:17:35,088
You were with us yesterday
496
00:17:35,088 --> 00:17:36,523
and now you're
holding us hostage.
497
00:17:36,523 --> 00:17:38,591
I've got some things
I'd like to talk about
498
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:40,860
and I feel I'm in a fairly
strong negotiating position.
499
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,061
What?
500
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,029
Grazing fees.
Grazing fees?
501
00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:44,464
Yeah.
Grazing fees.
502
00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:50,103
Let's go;
we're running out of time.
503
00:17:50,103 --> 00:17:52,872
I can't confirm the names
of any Americans killed. Arthur?
504
00:17:52,872 --> 00:17:54,841
Is the White House
ready to call the
cease-fire a failure?
505
00:17:54,841 --> 00:17:56,543
The parties themselves
negotiated the terms
506
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:58,077
of the cease fire,
and the government
507
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,279
of the United States
508
00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:00,980
remains committed
to the peace process.
509
00:18:00,980 --> 00:18:02,282
C.J., what do you
have to...?
510
00:18:02,282 --> 00:18:03,583
I like to call on people,
Sherri.
511
00:18:03,583 --> 00:18:05,952
What do you have to say
to the people of Dallas
512
00:18:05,952 --> 00:18:07,987
who have just lost
one of their native sons
513
00:18:07,987 --> 00:18:09,189
to this tragedy?
514
00:18:09,189 --> 00:18:10,390
Well, as I said earlier
515
00:18:10,390 --> 00:18:12,159
we can't confirm or
deny the identities
516
00:18:12,159 --> 00:18:13,059
of any American victims
517
00:18:13,059 --> 00:18:14,494
of the bombing.
518
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:16,729
How is it that
the United States government,
519
00:18:16,729 --> 00:18:18,631
supported by
the citizens of Dallas,
520
00:18:18,631 --> 00:18:20,867
knows less than CNN, AP,
and Israeli TV?
521
00:18:20,867 --> 00:18:24,003
I think the citizens of Dallas
will understand
522
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,638
that the 1974 Privacy Act
523
00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:28,408
precludes me
from discussing those details
524
00:18:28,408 --> 00:18:30,877
until the family
gives its consent. Mark?
525
00:18:30,877 --> 00:18:32,712
C.J., since two Americans
were killed,
526
00:18:32,712 --> 00:18:34,681
is the U.S. considering
retaliating themselves?
527
00:18:34,681 --> 00:18:36,983
We're still investigating
the circumstances.
528
00:18:36,983 --> 00:18:39,519
In the meantime,
we continue to urge all parties
529
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,221
to demonstrate restraint. Phil.
530
00:18:45,425 --> 00:18:47,827
It was a Palestinian
splinter group
531
00:18:47,827 --> 00:18:50,096
called the Palestine
Freedom Front.
532
00:18:50,096 --> 00:18:51,531
Agency and FBI concur?
533
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,132
Yeah.
534
00:18:53,132 --> 00:18:55,502
And we shouldn't be looking
outside the box.
535
00:18:55,502 --> 00:18:58,137
Hutchinson talked with the
Israeli Foreign Minister
536
00:18:58,137 --> 00:18:59,406
and the Interior
Minister.
537
00:18:59,406 --> 00:19:01,308
It was an
isolated incident.
538
00:19:01,308 --> 00:19:02,842
Retaliation for Bekaa?
539
00:19:02,842 --> 00:19:04,143
Yeah.
540
00:19:04,143 --> 00:19:06,213
If that's the case
541
00:19:06,213 --> 00:19:08,215
I want to hear it
from Arafat's mouth.
542
00:19:08,215 --> 00:19:09,982
I want to hear it from him.
543
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:11,584
A denunciation of violence.
544
00:19:11,584 --> 00:19:14,621
I want to see security
cooperation with the Israelis.
545
00:19:14,621 --> 00:19:16,323
We'll have the U.N.
Secretary General
546
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:17,924
put the screws to the Chairman
547
00:19:17,924 --> 00:19:21,594
and Scorza can be at the
Prime Minister's office.
548
00:19:21,594 --> 00:19:24,397
Maybe, maybe, maybe
we can get Israel
549
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:27,033
to hold their fire tonight.
550
00:19:27,033 --> 00:19:29,569
Would you?
551
00:19:29,569 --> 00:19:31,338
No.
552
00:19:42,849 --> 00:19:45,552
who graze their sheep and cattle
on Federal lands.
553
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:48,588
Yes, and they do it
for about one-tenth
of market value.
554
00:19:48,588 --> 00:19:50,557
Mr. Seaborn...
Based on an
archaic formula
555
00:19:50,557 --> 00:19:52,124
set by Congress
30 years ago.
556
00:19:52,124 --> 00:19:54,327
There was cattle 30 years ago.
557
00:19:54,327 --> 00:19:55,628
We're not trying to
stick it to ranchers.
558
00:19:55,628 --> 00:19:56,929
We want to raise
grazing fees
559
00:19:56,929 --> 00:19:58,231
and use the money
to restore streams,
560
00:19:58,231 --> 00:19:59,566
watersheds...
561
00:19:59,566 --> 00:20:01,434
Yes. Yes.
...fish and
wildlife,
562
00:20:01,434 --> 00:20:03,102
habitats that have
been destroyed
by over...
563
00:20:03,102 --> 00:20:05,538
And how do ranchers put food
on their tables?
564
00:20:05,538 --> 00:20:07,374
And yours, for that matter?
565
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:09,342
It's cheaper for cattle
to graze on Federal lands
566
00:20:09,342 --> 00:20:10,810
than to feed
a young basset hound.
567
00:20:10,810 --> 00:20:12,712
And it's easier to sell out
the western states,
568
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,647
where you're not going
to win anyway,
569
00:20:14,647 --> 00:20:17,149
than to help cattlemen
whose prices are plummeting.
570
00:20:17,149 --> 00:20:18,385
If you look
at the range land...
571
00:20:18,385 --> 00:20:19,552
I don't want to look
572
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:21,954
at the range land anymore.
573
00:20:21,954 --> 00:20:23,790
A one-year moratorium.
574
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,260
The President waits a year
575
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:28,928
before he tries
to raise the fees?
576
00:20:28,928 --> 00:20:30,830
One year.
Go vote.
577
00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:32,965
No.
578
00:20:32,965 --> 00:20:34,367
I've got more.
579
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:36,235
Really?
580
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,770
A GAO review
581
00:20:37,770 --> 00:20:39,872
of the deficiencies
in the Freedom to Farm Act
582
00:20:39,872 --> 00:20:42,342
and the need for a stronger
farm safety net,
583
00:20:42,342 --> 00:20:43,876
administration support
for an increase
584
00:20:43,876 --> 00:20:45,812
in production
flexibility contracts,
585
00:20:45,812 --> 00:20:46,979
and a promise...
586
00:20:46,979 --> 00:20:48,047
Donna.
587
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:49,081
Yeah?
588
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:50,082
I need Josh.
589
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:51,551
He's still in with...
590
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:53,453
Yeah, tell him
we're going to need more time.
591
00:20:56,389 --> 00:20:57,790
( knocking )
592
00:20:57,790 --> 00:20:58,991
Excuse me,
593
00:20:58,991 --> 00:21:00,627
Governor, I'm sorry. Josh?
594
00:21:03,963 --> 00:21:06,666
Yeah?
595
00:21:06,666 --> 00:21:08,835
Tell him to call
the Minority Leader's office.
596
00:21:08,835 --> 00:21:11,371
Tell him we need
to stage an exhibition.
597
00:21:11,371 --> 00:21:14,607
There's a rule
against exhibitions
598
00:21:14,607 --> 00:21:17,176
He'll have one of our members
bring a poster on the floor,
599
00:21:17,176 --> 00:21:19,045
another one of our members
will object
600
00:21:19,045 --> 00:21:20,146
and the Chair has to rule,
601
00:21:20,146 --> 00:21:21,548
followed by a vote
of the full House,
602
00:21:21,548 --> 00:21:22,882
and that'll buy 20 minutes.
603
00:21:22,882 --> 00:21:23,750
Okay.
604
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:26,519
So...
605
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:29,088
you're polling
at slightly less
606
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:30,957
than five percent
in Iowa.
607
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,725
After hearing
your issue profile
608
00:21:32,725 --> 00:21:34,461
that number actually goes down.
609
00:21:34,461 --> 00:21:35,862
39% of caucus-goers say
610
00:21:35,862 --> 00:21:38,097
they wouldn't even consider
voting for you.
611
00:21:38,097 --> 00:21:39,566
"Shares our values"? 18%.
612
00:21:39,566 --> 00:21:40,833
Did you know that?
613
00:21:40,833 --> 00:21:42,469
No.
614
00:21:42,469 --> 00:21:44,537
In New Hampshire,
you got three percent.
615
00:21:44,537 --> 00:21:46,906
"Shares our values," 14%.
616
00:21:46,906 --> 00:21:51,911
After hearing your profile,
41% think you're a Republican.
617
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:52,812
Did you know that?
618
00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:54,146
No.
619
00:21:54,146 --> 00:21:55,314
South Dakota,
three percent;
620
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:56,549
Georgia,
eight percent;
621
00:21:56,549 --> 00:21:57,684
New York,
seven percent.
622
00:21:57,684 --> 00:21:58,685
Did you know
any of that?
623
00:21:58,685 --> 00:21:59,852
No.
624
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:02,088
The reason why you didn't know,
Jack,
625
00:22:02,088 --> 00:22:03,556
to do out-of-state
polling right now.
626
00:22:03,556 --> 00:22:05,057
So, you helped me out.
627
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:06,493
I did.
Now with those
628
00:22:06,493 --> 00:22:09,462
kinds of numbers
and no kind of money,
629
00:22:09,462 --> 00:22:11,030
how can you expect
to run a campaign?
630
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:12,699
Where were
the President's numbers?
631
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:14,000
And what kind of money
did he have
632
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,535
when he challenged...?
633
00:22:15,535 --> 00:22:17,303
He wasn't challenging
a sitting president,
634
00:22:17,303 --> 00:22:19,972
and nobody challenges
a sitting president in a primary
635
00:22:19,972 --> 00:22:21,574
by going to his right.
636
00:22:21,574 --> 00:22:24,744
This isn't a serious challenge
you're contemplating,
637
00:22:24,744 --> 00:22:26,813
Well, if it isn't
a serious challenge
638
00:22:26,813 --> 00:22:28,147
what are you doing
in this room?
639
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:29,115
Your health!
640
00:22:29,115 --> 00:22:30,249
( chuckles )
641
00:22:30,249 --> 00:22:32,719
We don't like your health.
642
00:22:32,719 --> 00:22:35,622
You're a Heisman Trophy-winning
football player,
643
00:22:35,622 --> 00:22:36,956
a U.S. Olympian,
644
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:38,257
you still run
645
00:22:38,257 --> 00:22:39,792
the New York Marathon
646
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:42,795
and every time
we see B-roll of you
647
00:22:42,795 --> 00:22:47,133
tossing a ball around
at the local Boys' Club
648
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,502
the President's got to campaign
in an oxygen tent.
649
00:22:49,502 --> 00:22:52,138
( chuckles )
650
00:22:52,138 --> 00:22:57,043
Well, it sounds like a bit
of a serious challenge.
651
00:22:57,043 --> 00:23:00,046
It sounds like I need
to be listened to.
652
00:23:02,649 --> 00:23:06,152
You want to see me
do some push-ups?
653
00:23:06,152 --> 00:23:10,457
Yeah. That's what I want.
654
00:23:10,457 --> 00:23:12,925
What do we know?
655
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:14,561
Keyhole sees 12 Israeli F-15s
on the tarmac
656
00:23:14,561 --> 00:23:15,795
at Hatzerim Air Base.
657
00:23:15,795 --> 00:23:17,096
What are they armed with?
658
00:23:17,096 --> 00:23:18,665
Eight AIM sidewinders.
659
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:21,100
Pilots are
in the cockpits.
We see heat plumes.
660
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:23,436
We also got ten Douglas
A.H. Apache Longbows
661
00:23:23,436 --> 00:23:24,737
airborne from Betzet.
662
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:26,038
They're armed
with Hellfires.
663
00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:27,674
Any chance
it's a training exercise?
664
00:23:27,674 --> 00:23:28,941
It's always a training exercise.
665
00:23:28,941 --> 00:23:30,409
What do we think
are the targets?
666
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,078
It looks like the Abu Sneni Bab
667
00:23:32,078 --> 00:23:33,980
and al-Sheikh neighborhoods
in Hebron,
668
00:23:33,980 --> 00:23:35,882
a police station in Ramallah
and Al-Watan,
669
00:23:35,882 --> 00:23:37,850
which is the newspaper
of Hamas,
670
00:23:37,850 --> 00:23:39,586
but we could be wrong
about all of that.
671
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:41,253
Arab reaction?
672
00:23:41,253 --> 00:23:43,222
Egypt will call
for an immediate Arab summit
673
00:23:43,222 --> 00:23:44,223
if Israel retaliates.
674
00:23:44,223 --> 00:23:45,892
Nancy, what about the C-4?
675
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:47,894
Good, 'cause this is
what's interesting.
676
00:23:47,894 --> 00:23:50,963
The Agency indicates that the
bomber had ties to Abdul Mujeeb.
677
00:23:50,963 --> 00:23:52,865
Really?
678
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:55,568
Well, that may be our way out.
679
00:23:55,568 --> 00:23:56,936
All right, that may be it.
680
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,337
Sally, I need to
see the President.
681
00:23:58,337 --> 00:24:00,206
Yes, sir.
682
00:24:00,206 --> 00:24:03,175
The networks want to take you
live the next time you brief.
683
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:04,343
Is that okay?
684
00:24:04,343 --> 00:24:05,645
Yeah.
Sherri Wexler is
685
00:24:05,645 --> 00:24:07,046
about to do her stand-up.
686
00:24:07,046 --> 00:24:08,481
The station can't
send over someone
687
00:24:08,481 --> 00:24:09,882
who knows what
they're doing?
688
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:12,251
She thinks she knows
what she's doing.
689
00:24:12,251 --> 00:24:15,087
I thought you showed great
restraint in there before.
690
00:24:15,087 --> 00:24:16,255
Walk softly...
691
00:24:16,255 --> 00:24:18,090
and do something else.
692
00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:19,225
Carry a big stick.
693
00:24:19,225 --> 00:24:20,292
Yeah.
Walk softly.
694
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:22,261
Walk around.
695
00:24:22,261 --> 00:24:25,565
SHERRI:
...with the White House not able
to confirm or deny at this point
696
00:24:25,565 --> 00:24:27,233
the names of the Americans
697
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:30,069
or, in fact, if any Americans
were involved at all.
698
00:24:30,069 --> 00:24:33,139
In the meantime,
debate continues on Capitol Hill
699
00:24:33,139 --> 00:24:35,742
over the President's veto
of the legislation
700
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:37,944
repealing the estate tax.
701
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:40,146
So, it's
a tense night here, Alan,
702
00:24:40,146 --> 00:24:42,949
as staffers and press
burn the midnight oil.
703
00:24:42,949 --> 00:24:44,216
ALAN:
Sherri, going back
704
00:24:44,216 --> 00:24:45,217
to the suicide bomber,
705
00:24:45,217 --> 00:24:47,186
you say the White House
can't confirm
706
00:24:47,186 --> 00:24:50,156
whether Americans were involved,
yet other news outlets...
707
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:53,059
Yes. I should say
the Press Secretary, C.J. Cregg
708
00:24:53,059 --> 00:24:55,494
can't confirm if Americans
were involved.
709
00:24:55,494 --> 00:24:57,730
It's not clear
the extent to which
710
00:24:57,730 --> 00:24:59,532
C.J.'s in the loop on this.
711
00:24:59,532 --> 00:25:02,468
I can tell you, she's changed
her clothes several times
712
00:25:02,468 --> 00:25:04,036
throughout the evening.
713
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:06,105
ALAN:
I'm sorry, Sherri, say again?
714
00:25:06,105 --> 00:25:10,142
I say, C. J. Cregg's known to be
a bit of a clothes horse
715
00:25:10,142 --> 00:25:12,679
and perhaps she's missed
some information
716
00:25:12,679 --> 00:25:14,681
during one
of her wardrobe changes.
717
00:25:14,681 --> 00:25:16,048
( clicks )
718
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:18,050
Well...
719
00:25:18,050 --> 00:25:20,587
turns out she did know
what she was doing.
720
00:25:20,587 --> 00:25:22,822
You want me
to take care of it?
721
00:25:22,822 --> 00:25:26,559
I'll take care of it.
722
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:28,861
Hey, Margaret.
723
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,663
He'll be here
in just a minute.
724
00:25:30,663 --> 00:25:31,798
( sighs )
725
00:25:31,798 --> 00:25:33,132
Be back in a second.
726
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:35,334
Charlie?
727
00:25:35,334 --> 00:25:36,669
I can't talk about it.
728
00:25:36,669 --> 00:25:38,337
You don't know what
I was going to say.
729
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:39,338
Immunity?
730
00:25:39,338 --> 00:25:41,473
Yeah.
731
00:25:41,473 --> 00:25:43,542
I could have been talking
about a flu vaccine.
732
00:25:43,542 --> 00:25:44,611
That's immunization.
733
00:25:44,611 --> 00:25:45,645
Yeah.
734
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:47,980
Come on.
735
00:25:50,717 --> 00:25:52,785
So, what's
happening in there?
736
00:25:52,785 --> 00:25:54,186
( Toby sighs )
737
00:25:54,186 --> 00:25:56,088
We've given him
a one-year moratorium
738
00:25:56,088 --> 00:25:58,257
on grazing fees,
support for an increase
739
00:25:58,257 --> 00:26:00,259
in the production
flexibility contracts,
740
00:26:00,259 --> 00:26:01,427
a promise not to lower
741
00:26:01,427 --> 00:26:03,195
agricultural export subsidies.
742
00:26:03,195 --> 00:26:05,264
We're up
to a tougher FDA crackdown
743
00:26:05,264 --> 00:26:07,533
on the illegal use
of antibiotics in milk.
744
00:26:07,533 --> 00:26:10,069
Are you kid...?
745
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:11,337
How's Buckland?
746
00:26:11,337 --> 00:26:12,504
JOSH:
He wants a seat
747
00:26:12,504 --> 00:26:14,106
at the table,
that's for sure.
748
00:26:14,106 --> 00:26:16,542
TOBY:
How far do we go
with these guys?
749
00:26:16,542 --> 00:26:18,177
Can I offer Buckland...?
750
00:26:18,177 --> 00:26:19,879
No.
Well, he's going to
keep mouthing off...
751
00:26:19,879 --> 00:26:21,380
I don't care, take him out!
752
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:22,615
Enough's enough.
753
00:26:22,615 --> 00:26:24,784
First, Victor Campos
754
00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:25,718
then Kimball
and his band of four
755
00:26:25,718 --> 00:26:27,319
then Buckland?
756
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:29,588
Let him know
we're going to put it out
757
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,557
he tried to blackmail
the President
758
00:26:31,557 --> 00:26:34,961
unless he caved to industry
on clean air, clean water,
759
00:26:34,961 --> 00:26:37,296
climate control,
and worker safety.
760
00:26:37,296 --> 00:26:38,264
Emphasize
worker safety.
761
00:26:38,264 --> 00:26:40,199
That'll get him in good
with the unions.
762
00:26:40,199 --> 00:26:42,601
Everyone will know
the leak came from us.
763
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:43,903
Yeah.
764
00:26:45,471 --> 00:26:48,007
LEO:
You know what?
765
00:26:48,007 --> 00:26:49,508
Bill Russell was getting
eaten alive
766
00:26:49,508 --> 00:26:51,844
'cause they could never get him
to throw an elbow.
767
00:26:51,844 --> 00:26:53,379
He didn't want to do it.
768
00:26:53,379 --> 00:26:57,349
So, Red Auerbach told him
to do it one time.
769
00:26:57,349 --> 00:27:00,119
"Throw an elbow
in a nationally televised game.
770
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,354
You'll never have
to do it again."
771
00:27:02,354 --> 00:27:05,692
You bet your ass they'll know
the leak came from us.
772
00:27:05,692 --> 00:27:08,795
Toby, whatever's on
the table in there...
773
00:27:08,795 --> 00:27:10,763
take it or leave it.
774
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:12,799
Yes, sir.
775
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:13,800
Thank you.
776
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,234
Thanks, Leo.
777
00:27:18,738 --> 00:27:19,706
Hang on.
778
00:27:19,706 --> 00:27:20,707
What?
779
00:27:20,707 --> 00:27:21,674
Listen...
780
00:27:21,674 --> 00:27:23,042
Yeah?
781
00:27:23,042 --> 00:27:24,677
What's on the table,
don't you...?
782
00:27:24,677 --> 00:27:26,378
Grazing fees,
farm nets, milk subsidies--
783
00:27:26,378 --> 00:27:27,546
what's on the table.
784
00:27:27,546 --> 00:27:28,881
Aren't they the same things
785
00:27:28,881 --> 00:27:30,549
a farm district Republican
would want?
786
00:27:30,549 --> 00:27:31,918
Yeah.
787
00:27:31,918 --> 00:27:33,652
Let's offer it to them.
788
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,454
Offer it to who?
789
00:27:35,454 --> 00:27:36,823
Republicans. Royce.
790
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:40,292
He'll carry six Republicans.
That'll be seven votes.
791
00:27:40,292 --> 00:27:42,261
First off, when Kimball
and his four see
792
00:27:42,261 --> 00:27:43,996
we're going to win,
they'll hop onboard,
793
00:27:43,996 --> 00:27:45,497
so we've got a bigger margin.
794
00:27:45,497 --> 00:27:48,100
Second, C.J. can make
a big deal out of
bipartisanship,
795
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:49,201
but mostly...
We threw an elbow.
796
00:27:49,201 --> 00:27:50,937
On national TV.
797
00:28:00,479 --> 00:28:03,249
We were talking about
a tougher FDA crackdown
798
00:28:03,249 --> 00:28:05,885
on illegal uses of
antibiotics in milk,
799
00:28:05,885 --> 00:28:07,519
such as excess
dosages of...
800
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,222
No.
801
00:28:10,222 --> 00:28:13,492
Well, I wouldn't be
so quick to say no.
802
00:28:13,492 --> 00:28:15,995
I think I will.
803
00:28:15,995 --> 00:28:18,630
No to the FDA crackdown?
804
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:21,600
No to everything.
805
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,770
I mean no to
the FDA crackdown,
806
00:28:23,770 --> 00:28:25,938
no to lower
agricultural subsidies,
807
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,774
no to the production
808
00:28:27,774 --> 00:28:29,475
flexibility
contracts,
809
00:28:29,475 --> 00:28:31,577
no to the GAO review,
810
00:28:31,577 --> 00:28:34,781
and the President
will seek to raise
the grazing fees
811
00:28:34,781 --> 00:28:37,416
at any time he sees fit.
812
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:42,955
We're going to need the room.
813
00:28:42,955 --> 00:28:44,623
Would you mind, Congressman?
814
00:28:44,623 --> 00:28:45,624
Well...
815
00:28:45,624 --> 00:28:46,926
SAM:
Congressman?
816
00:28:46,926 --> 00:28:49,295
We're a little pressed for time.
817
00:28:56,235 --> 00:28:57,904
Good luck.
818
00:28:57,904 --> 00:29:00,339
Thank you very much.
819
00:29:00,339 --> 00:29:02,641
Ginger...
820
00:29:02,641 --> 00:29:04,343
we need Congressman
Robert Royce,
821
00:29:04,343 --> 00:29:05,677
Republican
822
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:08,314
of Pennsylvania, on the phone.
823
00:29:10,182 --> 00:29:12,852
( sighing ):
Okay, well...
824
00:29:12,852 --> 00:29:14,954
now this really needs to work.
825
00:29:17,189 --> 00:29:19,125
Yeah.
826
00:29:22,061 --> 00:29:24,897
Hey.
827
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:26,899
How you feeling?
828
00:29:26,899 --> 00:29:27,867
You shouldn't get
too close.
829
00:29:27,867 --> 00:29:29,201
It's all right.
830
00:29:29,201 --> 00:29:31,137
I'm like a petri dish over here.
831
00:29:31,137 --> 00:29:32,905
Yeah, you're
pretty gross.
832
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:34,040
How's the dinner?
833
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,276
It's good... but...
834
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:38,410
a suicide bomber
835
00:29:38,410 --> 00:29:40,246
got two American
kids in Jerusalem.
836
00:29:40,246 --> 00:29:41,447
No.
837
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:42,781
Yeah.
838
00:29:42,781 --> 00:29:43,950
Were they targeted?
839
00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:45,051
We're pretty sure.
840
00:29:45,051 --> 00:29:46,853
We got some things going.
841
00:29:46,853 --> 00:29:47,820
How old were they?
842
00:29:47,820 --> 00:29:49,922
19 and 21.
843
00:29:49,922 --> 00:29:52,058
They were brothers.
844
00:29:52,058 --> 00:29:53,759
You speak to Zoey today?
845
00:29:53,759 --> 00:29:55,427
No.
846
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:57,997
I thought the deal was
she calls once a day.
847
00:29:57,997 --> 00:29:59,866
She calls most days.
848
00:29:59,866 --> 00:30:01,834
I want her to call every day.
849
00:30:01,834 --> 00:30:03,870
All right.
850
00:30:03,870 --> 00:30:06,305
All right.
851
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:09,842
You need anything?
852
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:10,843
No.
853
00:30:10,843 --> 00:30:13,145
Okay.
854
00:30:21,553 --> 00:30:23,722
We can connect the bomber
to Abdul Mujeeb.
855
00:30:23,722 --> 00:30:25,591
How?
856
00:30:25,591 --> 00:30:29,495
and other chemicals
that are tagged.
857
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:32,731
So, you think I get
on the phone with
the Chairman and...
858
00:30:32,731 --> 00:30:34,700
I think you get
on the phone
859
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:36,735
and I think you tell them
to hand Abdul Mujeeb over
860
00:30:36,735 --> 00:30:37,870
to the Israelis.
861
00:30:37,870 --> 00:30:39,771
You remind him
Israeli Secret Police
862
00:30:39,771 --> 00:30:41,207
are going to kill
him anyway.
863
00:30:41,207 --> 00:30:42,741
It's going to take
more than that.
864
00:30:42,741 --> 00:30:43,943
If it does, you tell...
865
00:30:43,943 --> 00:30:45,577
Congress?
Yeah.
866
00:30:45,577 --> 00:30:47,779
We'll withhold the
$100 million in NGO aid
867
00:30:47,779 --> 00:30:48,915
if they don't
hand him over.
868
00:30:48,915 --> 00:30:51,117
Yeah.
869
00:30:51,117 --> 00:30:52,851
And you think
handing him over
870
00:30:52,851 --> 00:30:55,254
puts the pin back
in the grenade?
871
00:30:55,254 --> 00:30:57,356
For a day.
872
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:59,291
For a day?
873
00:30:59,291 --> 00:31:01,027
Yeah.
874
00:31:03,195 --> 00:31:05,164
All right.
Set up the call.
875
00:31:05,164 --> 00:31:07,366
Thank you, Mr. President.
876
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:09,201
BUCKLAND:
This isn't...
877
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:11,670
Hang on.
Wait.
878
00:31:11,670 --> 00:31:14,440
I'm the Governor
of Indiana.
You hang on.
879
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,075
You're saying I
should get out
880
00:31:16,075 --> 00:31:17,643
of the race, 'cause
I'm too healthy?
881
00:31:17,643 --> 00:31:20,112
And you're telling me I'm
making a flaky argument?
882
00:31:20,112 --> 00:31:22,181
I didn't say...
How am I supposed
to keep
883
00:31:22,181 --> 00:31:23,482
advocating the issues
that I care about
884
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:25,084
if I don't get into
the race for a while?
885
00:31:25,084 --> 00:31:26,452
You...
( knock at door )
886
00:31:26,452 --> 00:31:27,519
( door opens )
887
00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:28,988
I'm so sorry, Josh.
888
00:31:28,988 --> 00:31:30,990
Yeah.
889
00:31:37,029 --> 00:31:38,998
All right, tell him
to have a Democrat
890
00:31:38,998 --> 00:31:41,934
call for a
journal vote.
Okay.
891
00:31:41,934 --> 00:31:44,570
the full House has to
approve the previous
day's floor activity.
892
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,105
Okay.
893
00:31:46,105 --> 00:31:48,007
After that, he can have
a member try to attach
894
00:31:48,007 --> 00:31:49,108
an amendment to
the override vote.
895
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:50,109
What kind of amendment?
896
00:31:50,109 --> 00:31:51,377
Doesn't matter.
897
00:31:51,377 --> 00:31:53,312
"To qualify for the
estate tax repeal
898
00:31:53,312 --> 00:31:55,281
the estates have to
have Astroturf."
899
00:31:55,281 --> 00:31:56,548
And still,
it's hard to figure
900
00:31:56,548 --> 00:31:58,350
why Congress can't get
anything done.
901
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:05,724
I'm sorry.
902
00:32:05,724 --> 00:32:07,293
No, that's all right.
903
00:32:07,293 --> 00:32:09,228
There's a lot going on
here tonight.
904
00:32:09,228 --> 00:32:12,564
I meant... I'm sorry.
905
00:32:15,034 --> 00:32:18,004
You came through for us
in Indiana.
906
00:32:18,004 --> 00:32:20,339
Really, the whole Midwest.
907
00:32:20,339 --> 00:32:23,642
You would have been great
in the number two spot.
908
00:32:23,642 --> 00:32:25,877
And it was me as much
as anyone pushing Hoynes.
909
00:32:25,877 --> 00:32:27,079
You couldn't win
without Hoynes.
910
00:32:27,079 --> 00:32:30,216
Yeah.
911
00:32:30,216 --> 00:32:33,119
I'm term-limited, Josh,
912
00:32:33,119 --> 00:32:36,388
and I still have
things I want to say.
913
00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:41,093
Listen, I have instructions
to, you know...
914
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:42,428
To bust me.
915
00:32:42,428 --> 00:32:43,996
Yeah.
916
00:32:46,832 --> 00:32:51,470
If I could convince Leo
to put you on the short list,
917
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:53,939
you think you could say
what you want to say?
918
00:32:53,939 --> 00:32:56,608
You can't offer me quid pro quo.
It's against the law.
919
00:32:56,608 --> 00:32:58,344
I know, but I can tell you
that Carl Reed wants
920
00:32:58,344 --> 00:33:00,212
to accept a position at Shearson
921
00:33:00,212 --> 00:33:02,214
and he'll be leaving
in about three months.
922
00:33:02,214 --> 00:33:05,384
You guys are that afraid
of my health, huh?
923
00:33:05,384 --> 00:33:07,819
Well, we're afraid
of everything.
924
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:08,787
( laughs )
925
00:33:08,787 --> 00:33:11,257
But no kidding,
Jack, I-I...
926
00:33:11,257 --> 00:33:14,593
I think you'd make
an interesting nominee
927
00:33:14,593 --> 00:33:16,528
for Labor Secretary.
928
00:33:16,528 --> 00:33:18,964
So, if I could
convince Leo...
929
00:33:18,964 --> 00:33:22,701
I'm going to go
see if there's
any dessert left.
930
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:26,705
Thank you, Governor.
931
00:33:34,113 --> 00:33:37,149
You're offering a one-year
moratorium on grazing fees...
932
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:39,085
Yeah.
...a GAO review
of the need
933
00:33:39,085 --> 00:33:40,986
for a stronger
farm safety net...
934
00:33:40,986 --> 00:33:42,821
Yeah.
...a promise
not to lower
935
00:33:42,821 --> 00:33:44,523
agricultural
export subsidies...
Yeah.
936
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:47,226
...and a tougher FDA
crackdown on what?
937
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:49,495
The illegal use
of antibiotics in milk.
938
00:33:49,495 --> 00:33:51,930
In exchange for my vote
to sustain the veto?
939
00:33:51,930 --> 00:33:53,799
And the six that come with you.
940
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:55,701
And this is the exact
same deal you were
offering to Kimball.
941
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:57,035
Yes.
And he was ready
to take it?
942
00:33:57,035 --> 00:33:58,970
Yes.
943
00:33:58,970 --> 00:34:02,040
I don't want it.
944
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:08,880
Congressman,
you've been uneasy
945
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,317
about the estate tax
from the beginning.
946
00:34:11,317 --> 00:34:12,951
That's right, I have.
947
00:34:12,951 --> 00:34:14,886
And yet, the White House
did what it always does.
948
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:17,156
It went to the extreme
flank of its own party.
949
00:34:17,156 --> 00:34:20,025
Which meant more
arm-wrestling,
more deal-making.
950
00:34:20,025 --> 00:34:22,928
God knows how many
billions wasted in
pork barrel promises.
951
00:34:22,928 --> 00:34:24,263
What are you saying?
952
00:34:24,263 --> 00:34:27,166
That the moderates
get shut out.
953
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:29,368
Let me tell you something.
954
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:31,370
The idea of repealing
the estate tax
955
00:34:31,370 --> 00:34:33,705
makes me embarrassed
to be a Republican.
956
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:35,307
We used to be about
the sensible center
957
00:34:35,307 --> 00:34:38,009
about fiscal discipline.
958
00:34:38,009 --> 00:34:40,979
( snorts ):
Of course, this thing
should be vetoed.
959
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:43,849
It was a Republican named
Oliver Wendell Homes who said
960
00:34:43,849 --> 00:34:46,252
"Taxes are the price we pay
for a civilized society."
961
00:34:46,252 --> 00:34:48,320
Are you saying...?
962
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,821
Don't target me
963
00:34:49,821 --> 00:34:51,190
for defeat.
964
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:53,925
I'm vulnerable in my district.
965
00:34:53,925 --> 00:34:56,428
The DNC will run
a conservative
Democrat.
966
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:57,763
If he's elected,
he won't even be
967
00:34:57,763 --> 00:34:59,431
photographed with
the President
968
00:34:59,431 --> 00:35:01,200
much less vote
with him.
969
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,502
Take a look around
at all the Democrats
970
00:35:03,502 --> 00:35:05,704
running from you
right now.
971
00:35:05,704 --> 00:35:09,741
Do you even know
who your friends are anymore?
972
00:35:09,741 --> 00:35:11,210
If we do our best
973
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,745
to see that you're not
seriously challenged...?
974
00:35:13,745 --> 00:35:16,882
You have seven new votes
tonight.
975
00:35:16,882 --> 00:35:19,218
Oh, and, uh...
976
00:35:19,218 --> 00:35:20,986
throw in the milk thing.
977
00:35:20,986 --> 00:35:22,388
Go vote, Congressman.
978
00:35:32,964 --> 00:35:34,800
You're home.
979
00:35:43,041 --> 00:35:45,711
You? Get in here.
980
00:35:54,052 --> 00:35:55,187
Take the immunity.
981
00:35:55,187 --> 00:35:56,188
I'm not allowed...
982
00:35:56,188 --> 00:35:57,289
Take it.
983
00:35:57,289 --> 00:35:58,990
Is anyone else taking it?
984
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:00,158
No one else is being
offered it.
985
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,627
Would they take
it if they were?
986
00:36:01,627 --> 00:36:03,929
Charlie, who the hell knows
what's going to happen
987
00:36:03,929 --> 00:36:05,030
with this prosecution?
988
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:06,298
It's a partisan prosecution.
989
00:36:06,298 --> 00:36:07,566
You could go broke.
990
00:36:07,566 --> 00:36:08,867
You could be barred
from law school.
991
00:36:12,571 --> 00:36:14,640
Doesn't immunity
imply guilt?
992
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,542
Not necessarily.
And if someone
in my position
993
00:36:16,542 --> 00:36:20,579
took a deal to
protect himself...
994
00:36:20,579 --> 00:36:22,848
what would that person
be saying to his employer?
995
00:36:22,848 --> 00:36:24,750
That they were wrong
to trust him.
996
00:36:24,750 --> 00:36:26,685
Don't be a hero.
997
00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:29,054
Why not?
998
00:36:29,054 --> 00:36:31,857
I'll stay with my team.
999
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:36,428
People should stop trying
to get me not to do that.
1000
00:36:36,428 --> 00:36:37,429
( knock at door )
1001
00:36:37,429 --> 00:36:38,964
( door opens )
1002
00:36:38,964 --> 00:36:40,466
MARGARET:
Leo?
1003
00:36:43,702 --> 00:36:47,406
Anyway, I'm not
supposed to
talk about it.
1004
00:36:47,406 --> 00:36:50,742
Yeah, okay.
1005
00:36:57,616 --> 00:36:58,617
Nancy.
1006
00:36:58,617 --> 00:37:00,652
Thanks.
1007
00:37:05,824 --> 00:37:09,861
Palestinian police arrested
Mujeeb at his residence in Gaza.
1008
00:37:14,433 --> 00:37:15,834
Margaret?
1009
00:37:17,603 --> 00:37:18,570
Yeah?
1010
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:20,439
Get me C.J. on the phone.
1011
00:37:20,439 --> 00:37:24,843
And see if there's still
any food over there.
1012
00:37:27,646 --> 00:37:29,815
but you should
really learn how
to tie a bow tie.
1013
00:37:29,815 --> 00:37:31,182
Or you could.
1014
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:33,452
Yeah, but that doesn't
seem that likely, right?
1015
00:37:33,452 --> 00:37:34,420
You can go home.
1016
00:37:34,420 --> 00:37:35,654
I'll stick around.
1017
00:37:35,654 --> 00:37:36,622
You wanted
to talk to me
1018
00:37:36,622 --> 00:37:37,889
about something before.
1019
00:37:37,889 --> 00:37:39,325
Yeah.
1020
00:37:39,325 --> 00:37:40,892
Listen...
1021
00:37:40,892 --> 00:37:42,728
I was fixed up
1022
00:37:42,728 --> 00:37:44,730
on a blind date
a few nights ago.
1023
00:37:44,730 --> 00:37:45,864
When?
1024
00:37:45,864 --> 00:37:47,566
A few nights ago.
1025
00:37:47,566 --> 00:37:49,368
And Ainsley fixed us up.
1026
00:37:49,368 --> 00:37:52,003
He's a Republican lawyer
working for Ways and Means
1027
00:37:52,003 --> 00:37:53,572
but he was being transferred.
1028
00:37:53,572 --> 00:37:55,106
And it turns out now
1029
00:37:55,106 --> 00:37:57,309
he's on Government
Oversight, so...
1030
00:37:57,309 --> 00:38:00,178
You can't see
him anymore.
1031
00:38:00,178 --> 00:38:03,114
You can't see
him anymore.
1032
00:38:03,114 --> 00:38:04,483
I know that.
1033
00:38:04,483 --> 00:38:05,417
It was just that night?
1034
00:38:05,417 --> 00:38:07,353
Yeah.
1035
00:38:07,353 --> 00:38:09,688
No...
1036
00:38:11,490 --> 00:38:13,859
We got together
the next night again.
1037
00:38:13,859 --> 00:38:14,960
We shouldn't have.
1038
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,128
Yeah.
1039
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:22,634
Look, when we got together
the first time...
1040
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:24,903
You just thought he was
with Ways and Means
1041
00:38:24,903 --> 00:38:26,972
who I was battling
on the estate tax.
1042
00:38:26,972 --> 00:38:29,207
I'm sorry.
Did any reporters
see you?
1043
00:38:29,207 --> 00:38:30,776
No.
The second night?
1044
00:38:30,776 --> 00:38:34,346
No.
1045
00:38:34,346 --> 00:38:36,214
All right.
1046
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:37,816
You can go home.
1047
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:40,051
The President wants you
in five minutes.
1048
00:38:42,087 --> 00:38:44,790
Thanks.
1049
00:38:49,428 --> 00:38:50,562
REPORTERS:
C.J.!
Phil.
1050
00:38:50,562 --> 00:38:52,564
Did the President urge
1051
00:38:52,564 --> 00:38:54,132
the Chairman to hand
over Abdul Mujeed?
1052
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:55,567
As I said,
the President urged
1053
00:38:55,567 --> 00:38:57,736
the parties to abide
by the terms of the cease fire.
1054
00:38:57,736 --> 00:39:00,338
And he reiterated
the United States' commitment
1055
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:01,707
REPORTERS:
C.J.!
Katie.
1056
00:39:01,707 --> 00:39:03,008
C.J., an AP report
out of Gaza
1057
00:39:03,008 --> 00:39:05,377
says the President
threatened to withhold
1058
00:39:05,377 --> 00:39:07,579
more than $100 million
to Palestinian NGOs
1059
00:39:07,579 --> 00:39:09,615
unless the Chairman
handed over Mujeeb.
1060
00:39:09,615 --> 00:39:11,082
Well, I'm not
going to get
1061
00:39:11,082 --> 00:39:13,952
into the details
of the diplomatic exchange.
1062
00:39:13,952 --> 00:39:16,121
I'm told at this moment,
the House is getting ready
1063
00:39:16,121 --> 00:39:18,123
to vote on the override
of the President's veto
1064
00:39:18,123 --> 00:39:20,058
and I know you'll all want
to cover that.
1065
00:39:20,058 --> 00:39:21,927
Since this is
the President's first veto
1066
00:39:21,927 --> 00:39:24,095
I thought it might be helpful
if we brushed up on the rules.
1067
00:39:24,095 --> 00:39:27,065
Sherri, can you tell us
how many votes it takes
1068
00:39:27,065 --> 00:39:29,000
How many votes does it take
to override, Sherri?
1069
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,869
A majority.
Actually, it takes
two-thirds.
1070
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,003
Yes, a two-thirds majority.
1071
00:39:32,003 --> 00:39:33,138
Yeah, 290.
1072
00:39:33,138 --> 00:39:35,140
And how many votes
does it take to sustain?
1073
00:39:35,140 --> 00:39:36,842
That should be easy.
1074
00:39:36,842 --> 00:39:38,710
You just subtract 290
from the total number
1075
00:39:38,710 --> 00:39:40,345
of members in the House
and add one.
1076
00:39:40,345 --> 00:39:41,780
How many people sit
1077
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:43,482
in the House
of Representatives, Sherri?
1078
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:49,921
Okay, maybe you can get
the notes from a classmate.
1079
00:39:49,921 --> 00:39:51,557
That's all, guys.
I'll see you in the morning.
1080
00:39:51,557 --> 00:39:53,024
REPORTER:
Thank you, C.J.
1081
00:39:55,761 --> 00:39:57,463
They're meeting
in the Oval Office.
1082
00:39:57,463 --> 00:39:58,630
Thanks.
1083
00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:59,698
SHERRI:
C.J.?
1084
00:39:59,698 --> 00:40:00,899
Hey.
1085
00:40:00,899 --> 00:40:02,033
That was totally
uncalled for.
1086
00:40:02,033 --> 00:40:03,569
Yeah?
1087
00:40:03,569 --> 00:40:04,870
My competitors are going
to show that tape.
1088
00:40:04,870 --> 00:40:07,238
Every local station
in town...
1089
00:40:07,238 --> 00:40:09,675
That thing's going out
to 154 affiliates.
1090
00:40:09,675 --> 00:40:11,543
I changed my clothes
because I didn't think
1091
00:40:11,543 --> 00:40:13,411
it was appropriate to
talk about the death
of two teenagers
1092
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,647
while wearing a
ball gown, and
you knew that,
1093
00:40:15,647 --> 00:40:17,949
because you're stupid,
but you're not stupid.
Know what I'm saying?
1094
00:40:17,949 --> 00:40:19,751
Security's going to take
your press credentials.
1095
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:21,052
You call my office
every day, and I'll
1096
00:40:21,052 --> 00:40:23,221
decide if you get
into the room.
1097
00:40:23,221 --> 00:40:26,291
on Pebble Beach, you
can do your stand-ups
1098
00:40:26,291 --> 00:40:29,194
One more word out
of your mouth, and
every local station
1099
00:40:29,194 --> 00:40:31,362
in town but yours
gets an exclusive
with the President.
1100
00:40:31,362 --> 00:40:33,298
Hunting season
on me is over.
1101
00:40:33,298 --> 00:40:37,168
And the chemical
abbreviation for
table salt is NaCl.
1102
00:40:45,076 --> 00:40:48,113
You could say...
1103
00:40:48,113 --> 00:40:50,682
You could say, "On behalf
of Abbey and myself
1104
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:52,984
"please accept our
deepest condolences.
1105
00:40:52,984 --> 00:40:57,055
Your sons' lives
were not lost in vain."
1106
00:40:57,055 --> 00:40:59,791
What I meant was
that this further calls
1107
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,860
national attention
to the peace process.
1108
00:41:05,130 --> 00:41:08,700
"Though tragic, this tragedy
further calls national attention
1109
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:12,971
to this... alarming,
escalating conflict."
1110
00:41:12,971 --> 00:41:16,608
Is there anything to "they went
there in the spirit of peace"?
1111
00:41:16,608 --> 00:41:20,579
The spirit of peace
at a soccer match?
1112
00:41:20,579 --> 00:41:23,181
Hope of Israeli and Palestinian
children playing together and...
1113
00:41:23,181 --> 00:41:34,392
JOSH:
Studying together,
discovering each others world's
1114
00:41:34,392 --> 00:41:36,027
This guy at the dinner
1115
00:41:36,027 --> 00:41:38,096
he told me something
I didn't know.
1116
00:41:38,096 --> 00:41:40,298
On Yom Kippur,
you ask forgiveness
1117
00:41:40,298 --> 00:41:41,900
for sins against God
1118
00:41:41,900 --> 00:41:43,969
but on the day
before Yom Kippur
1119
00:41:43,969 --> 00:41:46,705
you ask forgiveness
for sins against people.
1120
00:41:46,705 --> 00:41:47,906
Did you know that?
1121
00:41:47,906 --> 00:41:49,374
Yeah.
1122
00:41:49,374 --> 00:41:51,543
It's called, uh...
I can't remember.
1123
00:41:51,543 --> 00:41:53,444
It's Erev.
1124
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:55,146
Erev Yom Kippur.
1125
00:41:57,949 --> 00:42:00,018
You can't ask forgiveness of God
1126
00:42:00,018 --> 00:42:03,454
until you've asked forgiveness
of people on the day before.
1127
00:42:03,454 --> 00:42:04,556
( knock on door, door opens )
1128
00:42:05,791 --> 00:42:06,892
Mr. President?
1129
00:42:06,892 --> 00:42:08,159
Yeah.
1130
00:42:10,061 --> 00:42:12,463
Yeah, I'm going to do
this alone.
1131
00:42:12,463 --> 00:42:14,165
Have a good night,
everybody.
1132
00:42:14,165 --> 00:42:16,602
ALL:
Thank you, Mr. President.
1133
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:24,843
( sighs )
1134
00:42:33,118 --> 00:42:36,622
Mr. and Mrs. Levy,
this is Jed Bartlet.
1135
00:42:36,622 --> 00:42:41,526
I have three children.
1136
00:42:41,526 --> 00:42:43,328
I really don't know what to say.
