Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,256 --> 00:00:08,130
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:09,628
It's fun.
3
00:00:09,801 --> 00:00:12,506
I like you. I've been trying
to get it in under the wire.
4
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:15,764
Two pipe bombs were set off
inside the Geiger Indoor Arena.
5
00:00:15,974 --> 00:00:19,889
- Forty-four people were...
- Killed at Kennison State University.
6
00:00:20,103 --> 00:00:22,096
- I'm Matt Kelley.
- I'm Toby Ziegler.
7
00:00:22,314 --> 00:00:25,019
I work at the White House.
You have a minute to talk?
8
00:00:25,234 --> 00:00:27,559
We have reason to believe
in the next 48 hours...
9
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:29,729
...the Qumari rescue team
will announce...
10
00:00:29,905 --> 00:00:32,443
...they recovered
a military-issue Israeli parachute.
11
00:00:32,616 --> 00:00:34,739
- What do we do?
- We're in the Situation Room.
12
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:36,238
Let's go.
13
00:00:51,426 --> 00:00:53,466
Ten-hut.
14
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,925
Nancy's in her office. There are
some calls I asked her to make.
15
00:00:58,141 --> 00:01:00,181
I told the president
about the parachute.
16
00:01:00,352 --> 00:01:03,519
Tommy, do they make parachutes
in Israel? They're saying it's...
17
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,106
...an Israeli-made parachute.
18
00:01:05,315 --> 00:01:08,482
- They make them. They're good ones.
- Listen, I know we're here...
19
00:01:08,694 --> 00:01:11,149
...for a serious purpose,
for a sober purpose...
20
00:01:11,363 --> 00:01:14,779
...but I wanted to say I've never been
part of a street gang before.
21
00:01:14,992 --> 00:01:18,859
That's basically what we are. A pretty
well-financed one, but anyway...
22
00:01:19,037 --> 00:01:21,789
...I wanted to say it feels good...
23
00:01:21,999 --> 00:01:25,617
...and when we're done with this
meeting we should go out and get girls...
24
00:01:25,836 --> 00:01:28,042
...maybe knock over a fruit stand
or something.
25
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:29,915
- Okay.
- We're gonna need to learn...
26
00:01:30,132 --> 00:01:31,591
...to sing and dance.
27
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,169
The information's basically coming
from the NSC operations unit.
28
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:38,637
A cell phone intercept
between the sultan and Habib.
29
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:42,556
"The Butcher of Kafr will have
no choice but to resign."
30
00:01:42,728 --> 00:01:44,886
We're sure he's talking about Israel?
31
00:01:45,105 --> 00:01:47,774
"The Butcher of Kafr will have
no choice but to resign."
32
00:01:47,983 --> 00:01:50,770
- Well, B movie dialogue aside...
- Toby and Josh are back.
33
00:01:50,986 --> 00:01:54,900
Toby Ziegler and Josh Lyman missed
the motorcade in Indiana yesterday.
34
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,108
It's taken them 20 hours
to get home.
35
00:01:57,326 --> 00:02:00,410
- They're walking into D.C. right now.
- Doesn't matter.
36
00:02:00,579 --> 00:02:02,370
Assume the sultan goes
to Aljazeera...
37
00:02:02,539 --> 00:02:05,540
...and announces Shareef's
plane didn't go down accidentally...
38
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:09,327
...that it was brought down
by the Israelis. What are the options?
39
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:11,171
- Do nothing.
- Which we can't do.
40
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:13,588
Call Qumar's bluff,
demand they produce proof.
41
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,460
- We can't call their bluff.
- Why?
42
00:02:15,677 --> 00:02:19,011
They're calling our bluff. When they
produce manufactured proof...
43
00:02:19,223 --> 00:02:21,595
...we'd have to say,
"You manufactured that."
44
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:23,267
They'd say,"How do you know?"
45
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:27,184
- So the next option is, we defend Israel.
- You're not curious why...
46
00:02:27,356 --> 00:02:29,099
...they're walking into D.C.?
- No.
47
00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:32,352
What happens if Hezbollah
launches a missile at Israel?
48
00:02:32,528 --> 00:02:35,232
- Israel attacks Lebanon...
-"Walking into D.C. from where?"...
49
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:37,813
...you gotta ask yourself.
- You wanna hunker down?
50
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:41,111
Just for that, when it comes time
to give out gang nicknames...
51
00:02:41,328 --> 00:02:45,029
...you're gonna be... I don't know, but
you're not gonna have a good nickname.
52
00:02:45,249 --> 00:02:48,949
Ellie had a teacher named Mr. Pordy
who had no interest in nuance.
53
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:52,040
He asked why there's always
conflict in the Middle East.
54
00:02:52,256 --> 00:02:55,956
Ellie raised her hand and said,
"It's a centuries-old religious conflict...
55
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,418
...involving land and suspicion
and culture."
56
00:02:58,637 --> 00:03:00,879
"Wrong," Mr. Pordy said.
57
00:03:01,056 --> 00:03:06,513
"It's because it's incredibly hot
and there's no water."
58
00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:15,108
I'm hunkered down. I'm going to East
Lansing. We're gonna need a lawyer.
59
00:04:02,534 --> 00:04:05,156
There are some 120 news outlets...
60
00:04:05,370 --> 00:04:07,363
...covering the movements
of the president.
61
00:04:09,541 --> 00:04:11,450
Only the best ride with me. The rest...
62
00:04:11,627 --> 00:04:14,331
...consigned to the zoo plane
with no moist towelettes.
63
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:16,124
This is why I'm so disappointed.
64
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:18,878
With the exceptions of Terry,
Mike, Mark and Rachel...
65
00:04:19,051 --> 00:04:21,756
...you all misspelled Muhziriabolah.
- I'm on television.
66
00:04:21,929 --> 00:04:24,052
It was misspelled in your copy,
I could tell.
67
00:04:24,223 --> 00:04:26,595
Is there an advance on the speech
to the teachers?
68
00:04:26,767 --> 00:04:28,806
An advance copy of text?
You must be new.
69
00:04:28,977 --> 00:04:31,136
What's he going to say about
the pipe bombing?
70
00:04:31,313 --> 00:04:33,804
He's obviously gonna talk about it,
but I don't know.
71
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:36,983
The filing center's behind the press riser.
You'll have time...
72
00:04:37,152 --> 00:04:39,690
...while the president meets
with the executive board.
73
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:41,357
- Open to the pool?
- Pool photos.
74
00:04:41,532 --> 00:04:43,405
He's spoken
to the university president?
75
00:04:43,575 --> 00:04:45,319
He's spoken to Chancellor Bayless.
76
00:04:45,494 --> 00:04:48,827
The president's accepted an invitation
to speak at the memorial...
77
00:04:48,997 --> 00:04:50,492
...on the KSU campus Saturday.
78
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:53,412
- Anything from the FBI?
- I'm referring those questions...
79
00:04:53,585 --> 00:04:56,871
...to Zane Littleton. I do wanna
underline their initial finding:
80
00:04:57,089 --> 00:04:59,378
It doesn't appear to be
foreign terrorism.
81
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,877
- And that's based on...?
- The nature of the explosive. Okay, then.
82
00:05:03,053 --> 00:05:06,054
To Battle Creek Air National Guard Base
is an hour, 45 minutes.
83
00:05:06,223 --> 00:05:09,556
It's 45 minutes to Michigan State,
where the president will address...
84
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:12,396
...the delegates from the NEA
for 25 minutes.
85
00:05:12,563 --> 00:05:16,477
Josh and Toby aren't on the plane.
They still at a gas station in Unionville?
86
00:05:16,692 --> 00:05:19,230
No, they made it home.
Their mothers are relieved.
87
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:23,063
They've been given
a four-hour vacation. Anything else?
88
00:05:23,782 --> 00:05:28,195
M-U-H-Z-I-R-I-A-B-O-L-A-H.
89
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:33,287
He might get asked about Title IX.
90
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:35,534
- Why?
- Ritchie mentioned yesterday...
91
00:05:35,711 --> 00:05:38,581
...it's worth reexamine,
so they'll ask him for a reaction.
92
00:05:38,755 --> 00:05:40,499
Talk to Josh for his first thoughts.
93
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:43,379
- What are yours?
- On Title IX?
94
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,714
- I have none. I'm indifferent.
- You can't be indifferent.
95
00:05:46,930 --> 00:05:51,010
I have to be. I have only so much RAM
in my head. I have to prioritize.
96
00:05:51,226 --> 00:05:53,896
I have to throw some things
overboard...
97
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:59,483
...so I've chosen not to care whether
or not Purdue has a fencing team.
98
00:05:59,985 --> 00:06:01,527
- Sam.
- Bruno.
99
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:04,020
This is Debbie Fiderer,
the president's new exec.
100
00:06:04,198 --> 00:06:06,867
Bruno Gianelli, general chairman,
Committee to Re-elect.
101
00:06:07,034 --> 00:06:08,362
- Hello.
- Hi.
102
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:11,240
The D.C. district court is ruling
today on a debate case.
103
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:12,949
- Know anything?
- I think it's...
104
00:06:13,123 --> 00:06:15,614
...Sullivan v. Commissionon Presidential Debates.
105
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:17,785
ABC, CBS, NBC News, et al.
106
00:06:18,003 --> 00:06:19,877
This is the third-party rule
15 percent?
107
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:22,544
- It happens every four years.
- All right.
108
00:06:22,758 --> 00:06:26,091
There are 500 citizen lawsuits
trying to get their guy in the debate.
109
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:29,672
- It never goes anywhere.
- All right.
110
00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:33,133
Fiderer's a funny name.
111
00:06:35,187 --> 00:06:38,104
It's not ha-ha funny.
It's just, you know...
112
00:06:39,274 --> 00:06:40,685
Okay.
113
00:06:40,859 --> 00:06:43,481
Stay on Sullivan v. Commissionon Presidential Debates.
114
00:06:43,654 --> 00:06:44,982
- Yeah.
- It's a guy suing...
115
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:47,064
...so Stackhouse can be
in the debate.
116
00:06:47,282 --> 00:06:50,449
I thought Stackhouse was
supposed to endorse the president.
117
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:53,199
- He is. He will.
- Why would he be in the debate?
118
00:06:53,372 --> 00:06:55,364
Presumably he's
endorsing the president...
119
00:06:55,541 --> 00:06:57,866
...because he knew he
wouldn't be in the debate...
120
00:06:58,043 --> 00:06:59,703
- How bad would it be?
- It'd be bad.
121
00:06:59,878 --> 00:07:02,832
Which is why, even if he was allowed in,
he wouldn't do it.
122
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:06,506
Stackhouse isn't trying to hurt the
president. But let's get back to you.
123
00:07:06,718 --> 00:07:09,589
Josh Lyman's gonna give you
a security and ethics briefing.
124
00:07:09,763 --> 00:07:11,423
Charlie will tell you some things.
125
00:07:11,598 --> 00:07:14,599
You have provisional clearance
pending successful completion...
126
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:17,057
...of the SF-86 and a GC-1
background check.
127
00:07:17,229 --> 00:07:19,554
- What is it?
- It's a questionnaire.
128
00:07:19,731 --> 00:07:21,689
Extensive questions on your past...
129
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:25,945
...personal, professional, financial,
pharmaceutical...
130
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:27,565
Oh, no, I know the form.
131
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:30,991
- What is a GC-1?
- They contact family members...
132
00:07:31,201 --> 00:07:34,321
...and friends and neighbors
and former neighbors to corroborate.
133
00:07:34,538 --> 00:07:37,207
This is fine, but I've worked
at the White House before.
134
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:40,333
At my last job, the background
check wasn't this extensive...
135
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:43,082
You have a button on your phone.
A crash button.
136
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:47,255
A crash button which will bring
the Secret Service, turning your office...
137
00:07:47,426 --> 00:07:50,759
...into a live microphone which'll be
broadcast all over the building.
138
00:07:50,971 --> 00:07:53,640
You push it if someone's trying
to take the Oval Office.
139
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,218
This isn't your last job.
140
00:07:55,392 --> 00:07:57,800
- Sam, we need you in here.
- Excuse me.
141
00:07:59,938 --> 00:08:01,847
Bruno thinks we dump
the whole thing.
142
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:06,353
I think 44 people are dead and we
can't give a speech on education.
143
00:08:06,528 --> 00:08:10,573
It's gonna look opportunistic if we talk
about lowa at a campaign event.
144
00:08:10,741 --> 00:08:14,276
- Plus we're using the teachers like props.
- He's gotta mention it, though.
145
00:08:14,453 --> 00:08:17,288
- Yeah, he can't not mention it.
- There are dead children...
146
00:08:17,456 --> 00:08:19,365
...and you segue to what?
- I don't know.
147
00:08:19,541 --> 00:08:21,949
- I don't know either.
- What are your feelings, sir?
148
00:08:22,127 --> 00:08:25,163
I don't know, it's a 7-10 split.
149
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:27,462
- Could you work on it a while?
- Yes, sir.
150
00:08:27,674 --> 00:08:30,165
I'm gonna call Leo. I'll be in my office.
151
00:08:33,805 --> 00:08:35,430
Let her on in, Becky.
152
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:38,351
- Good morning.
- Hello.
153
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,810
You look sensational in
your Gabriella-something thing there.
154
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:43,807
- Thank you.
-"Cloak and dagger"?
155
00:08:44,024 --> 00:08:45,684
- Look.
-"Cloak and dagger"?
156
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:48,777
- It was one sentence in a two-page note.
- You sent me a note?
157
00:08:48,987 --> 00:08:52,191
I was asked here on business,
which I usually conduct at my office.
158
00:08:52,366 --> 00:08:55,367
I was gonna come there.
Then I thought, between the lobby...
159
00:08:55,577 --> 00:08:59,409
...the elevator, the reception area, the
paralegals area, the associates area...
160
00:08:59,623 --> 00:09:02,328
...and the coffee room
of a Washington, D.C., law firm...
161
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:06,629
...there was a chance someone might
recognize the White House chief of staff.
162
00:09:06,839 --> 00:09:10,504
All I meant by"cloak and dagger" is
I'm not cut out for security meetings...
163
00:09:10,676 --> 00:09:13,083
...the secret this
and back-channel ambassadors.
164
00:09:13,262 --> 00:09:14,720
It's like you're in the Mafia.
165
00:09:14,888 --> 00:09:18,257
It may be like I'm in the Mafia,
but I'm not. I work for the good guys.
166
00:09:18,433 --> 00:09:19,762
It was one sentence.
167
00:09:19,935 --> 00:09:22,889
The problem was, you were never
at the other end of the phone.
168
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:26,847
That's an entirely different kettle of
beans, and we can have that discussion.
169
00:09:27,025 --> 00:09:30,026
History's shown if you wait
and tell it to a divorce lawyer...
170
00:09:30,195 --> 00:09:32,520
...you can have half my stuff.
- I don't want it.
171
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:34,364
Some of it's good stuff.
172
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:38,026
- Where are we going?
- Someplace quiet where we can talk.
173
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,119
The White House Situation Room.
174
00:09:43,959 --> 00:09:45,418
We just call it that.
175
00:09:52,801 --> 00:09:56,253
Am I even allowed to be in here?
Look at this stuff.
176
00:09:56,430 --> 00:09:59,633
It's a map of North America.
What are you worried about?
177
00:09:59,808 --> 00:10:03,592
- Hey, where are you from?
- I'm from Lincoln, Nebraska.
178
00:10:04,855 --> 00:10:09,896
Lieutenant, can you throw an Opal Drill
up on the wall? Lincoln, Nebraska.
179
00:10:12,946 --> 00:10:14,738
What's it doing?
180
00:10:14,907 --> 00:10:19,865
It's showing a first-strike nuclear attack
from Beijing and North Korea.
181
00:10:22,539 --> 00:10:29,206
Hey, look at that, Lincoln survives
the first of the... No, not so much.
182
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:30,796
Leo?
183
00:10:32,925 --> 00:10:34,633
First of all...
184
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:38,633
...we have to go beyond the normal
attorney-client privilege. This is sensitive.
185
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:41,765
There are no degrees
of attorney-client privilege.
186
00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:45,475
No, I'm talking about state secrets
with highest-security classification.
187
00:10:45,646 --> 00:10:49,180
If you told anyone, you'd be convicted
of treason and sent to prison.
188
00:10:49,399 --> 00:10:51,772
- No, I wouldn't.
- No, it's nothing like treason.
189
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:55,354
- But if you told anyone, it'd be bad.
- What?
190
00:10:55,572 --> 00:10:57,897
Do you remember last May...
191
00:10:58,116 --> 00:11:01,948
...that a private plane carrying Qumari
Defense Minister Abdul Shareef...
192
00:11:02,162 --> 00:11:04,534
...went down near Bermuda
and all passengers...
193
00:11:04,748 --> 00:11:07,120
...including Shareef, were dead?
- No.
194
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,494
- No?
- No.
195
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,708
Okay. Well, it happened.
196
00:11:12,923 --> 00:11:15,129
Qumar has been investigating
the accident...
197
00:11:15,342 --> 00:11:17,418
...because they believe there
was foul play.
198
00:11:17,594 --> 00:11:20,963
And we believe... In fact, we know
they're trying to frame Israel.
199
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:24,182
- They're producing phony evidence.
- How do you know?
200
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:26,727
I'm sorry.
201
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:29,854
- You said,"We know." How?
- Because we do.
202
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,900
- Why isn't it possible for Israel to...?
- Jordan...
203
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:37,404
...we know any evidence of
assassination is manufactured.
204
00:11:37,906 --> 00:11:41,441
- How?
- Because we destroyed all the evidence.
205
00:11:45,163 --> 00:11:48,414
Mr. McGarry, I havethe president on your line.
206
00:11:49,459 --> 00:11:51,119
Yes, sir.
207
00:11:51,295 --> 00:11:53,204
- How's it going?
- Fine.
208
00:11:53,422 --> 00:11:55,082
- Is she there?
- Yeah.
209
00:11:55,299 --> 00:11:58,003
- What do you know?
- Casper's here. He's gonna talk to me.
210
00:11:58,218 --> 00:12:00,590
- I'll send him to you next, all right?
- Thank you.
211
00:12:00,804 --> 00:12:04,054
- What are you about to say?
- I don't know. I have about two minutes.
212
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:05,635
Okay.
213
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:11,849
"The bullying nature of the intrusive
and invasive government...
214
00:12:12,024 --> 00:12:16,068
...of the U.S. has to be rendered quickly
and decisively a wake-up call, and this..."
215
00:12:16,236 --> 00:12:18,608
- What do you think of this?
- He's not Tom Paine.
216
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:21,069
- No.
- It's rhetoric common to separatists.
217
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,779
They're telling us that English
is his first language.
218
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:25,577
But he's not very well educated.
219
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:27,785
- Is it credible?
- Yes, sir.
220
00:12:27,998 --> 00:12:30,833
- You think it was sent by the bomber?
- Or his group.
221
00:12:31,043 --> 00:12:33,119
- We think there's a group.
- We don't know.
222
00:12:33,337 --> 00:12:36,291
- Now, you've been told...
- The end of the letter promises more.
223
00:12:36,507 --> 00:12:38,795
Yes, sir. In the next 48 hours.
224
00:12:39,009 --> 00:12:42,425
Obviously, we expected that.
It's what they always say.
225
00:12:42,638 --> 00:12:44,926
Unless what?
That's where I'm confused.
226
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,975
He didn't make any demands, sir.
This letter isn't a threat.
227
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:49,727
It's an announcement.
228
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:56,058
All right, what do you have?
229
00:12:56,276 --> 00:13:00,440
"We will catch the perpetrators, we will
track them down, we'll punish them"...
230
00:13:00,656 --> 00:13:02,066
...along those lines.
231
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:05,449
- It's too early for Rocky.
- Plus, once you catch a perpetrator...
232
00:13:05,619 --> 00:13:08,454
...you don't need to track him down.
- He likes the rhythm.
233
00:13:08,622 --> 00:13:11,576
- It was his line.
- It's a dummy phrase. It's a placeholder.
234
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:14,034
I think I'm just gonna talk a little bit.
235
00:13:19,258 --> 00:13:22,093
-"Joy cometh in the morning," sir.
- Thank you.
236
00:13:22,302 --> 00:13:25,671
The president of the United States.
237
00:13:53,375 --> 00:13:55,996
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
238
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:06,419
"Joy cometh in the morning,"
Scripture tells us. I hope so.
239
00:14:07,139 --> 00:14:09,808
I don't know if life would be
worth living if it didn't.
240
00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:13,386
And I don't yet know who set
off the bomb at Kennison State.
241
00:14:13,562 --> 00:14:17,476
I don't know if it's one person or 10
and I don't know what they want.
242
00:14:17,691 --> 00:14:20,977
All I know for sure,
all I know for certain...
243
00:14:21,195 --> 00:14:24,610
...is that they weren't born
wanting to do this.
244
00:14:24,781 --> 00:14:29,325
There's evil in the world. There'll always
be. We can't do anything about that.
245
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:31,743
But there's violence in our schools...
246
00:14:31,955 --> 00:14:35,656
...too much mayhem in our culture,
and we can do something about that.
247
00:14:36,168 --> 00:14:39,786
There's not enough character,
discipline, depth in our classrooms.
248
00:14:40,005 --> 00:14:42,330
There aren't enough teachers
in our classrooms.
249
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,756
There isn't nearly enough,
not nearly enough...
250
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:47,175
...not nearly enough money
in our classrooms.
251
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:49,047
And we can do something
about that.
252
00:14:49,681 --> 00:14:51,224
We're not doing nearly enough...
253
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,764
...not nearly enough,
to teach our children well.
254
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:57,642
And we can do better and we must
do better and we will do better.
255
00:14:57,856 --> 00:15:01,023
And we will start this moment today.
256
00:15:01,235 --> 00:15:04,105
They weren't born wanting to do this.
257
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:16,491
I've been thinking about
an egg salad sandwich on a kaiser roll.
258
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:20,201
If it's Milos making the potato salad,
then potato salad.
259
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:24,252
If it's not, then a potato
in any other form will be fine.
260
00:15:25,092 --> 00:15:26,800
Why did you tell me that?
261
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:28,677
I didn't. I was talking to Margaret.
262
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:32,256
- I know that.
-She knows that, sir. She meant...
263
00:15:32,891 --> 00:15:37,055
He's got a secret ingredient in the
potato salad that makes you crave it...
264
00:15:37,271 --> 00:15:39,809
...beyond what's reasonable
for something like that.
265
00:15:40,023 --> 00:15:43,855
I'm, like, two, three forkfuls away
from the final piece of the puzzle...
266
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:46,987
...and then this monkey's off my back.
- Why...
267
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:50,198
...you know, in the world, did you
tell me what you just did?
268
00:15:50,409 --> 00:15:52,282
I was ordered to by the president.
269
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:56,408
- He told you to talk to me?
- He told me to contact a lawyer.
270
00:15:57,916 --> 00:16:01,332
Commander, Jordan Kendall, please.
271
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:03,753
First, that's a nice picture of you.
272
00:16:03,964 --> 00:16:06,537
Sometimes these pictures
aren't that nice.
273
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:09,468
But look at that smile.
You could light up Chicago.
274
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:12,008
- You have this at the push of a button?
- No.
275
00:16:12,222 --> 00:16:14,927
You give these guys some notice,
they can put on a show.
276
00:16:15,142 --> 00:16:17,549
Second page, please.
277
00:16:17,728 --> 00:16:21,678
Maxwell School of Diplomacy
and International Relations.
278
00:16:21,857 --> 00:16:24,941
Associate counsel,
U.S. Delegation to the United Nations.
279
00:16:25,110 --> 00:16:27,862
General counsel,
U.S. Delegation to the United Nations.
280
00:16:28,071 --> 00:16:30,313
General counsel for the United Nations.
281
00:16:30,532 --> 00:16:32,608
You found out you can buy stuff
with money.
282
00:16:32,784 --> 00:16:34,576
Page three, please.
283
00:16:34,745 --> 00:16:37,829
Partner, Whitcom, Wiley, Hawking,
Harrison and Kendall.
284
00:16:37,998 --> 00:16:40,489
Was there a Burt Kendall?
Is his portrait hanging...
285
00:16:40,667 --> 00:16:42,411
...in the partners' dining room?
- No.
286
00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:45,794
- They're talking about you, right?
- Wasn't my idea to add my name.
287
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:48,502
Raise the profile
of the international law department.
288
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:51,338
A specialty in international law,
you say. Interesting.
289
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:55,461
Have you experienced dealing in matters
that receive wide media coverage?
290
00:16:55,682 --> 00:16:59,182
- Let's take a trip to page four.
- You have a good time doing this, right?
291
00:16:59,394 --> 00:17:02,146
You don't even know.
Orlando Ruiz...
292
00:17:02,356 --> 00:17:06,021
...of the 101-mile-an-hour fastball
and Cuban citizenship.
293
00:17:06,193 --> 00:17:09,644
Richard White of Lackland Chemical
and wrongful death...
294
00:17:09,863 --> 00:17:13,315
I do not have experience with what
you're talking about. I don't have...
295
00:17:13,492 --> 00:17:15,615
...experience with what
you're talking about.
296
00:17:15,994 --> 00:17:17,453
Nobody does.
297
00:17:17,621 --> 00:17:19,412
We're talking about
we killed Shareef.
298
00:17:19,623 --> 00:17:23,834
We put 14 bullets in his chest
on an airstrip in Bermuda.
299
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:27,371
It's helpful to start
saying it out loud.
300
00:17:27,923 --> 00:17:29,714
-I'm sorry, Leo?
- Yeah.
301
00:17:29,925 --> 00:17:33,673
There's a message here from HaroldHarrison saying there's about to be...
302
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:36,841
... a decision from district court. It's not what you think.
303
00:17:37,057 --> 00:17:39,892
Come down here and show
Miss Kendall out. Excuse me.
304
00:17:49,278 --> 00:17:50,986
Donna?
305
00:17:53,156 --> 00:17:55,826
Josh?
306
00:18:07,045 --> 00:18:09,168
- Josh?
- Yes? I have to talk to you.
307
00:18:09,339 --> 00:18:10,917
- I have to talk to you.
- Me first.
308
00:18:11,091 --> 00:18:12,420
- Why's that?
- It's important.
309
00:18:12,593 --> 00:18:13,921
- Okay.
- Go ahead.
310
00:18:14,094 --> 00:18:15,802
- You go.
- I'm perfectly fine waiting.
311
00:18:15,971 --> 00:18:18,129
- I have the patience of an adult.
- 20 seconds.
312
00:18:18,307 --> 00:18:21,177
Came to me in my sleep.
The paper was there when I got home.
313
00:18:21,351 --> 00:18:25,598
Page two of the business section,
there's an article about Redstar...
314
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:29,266
...and the $35 million retention bonus
they gave to...
315
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,524
- I can't remember his name.
- Wadkins.
316
00:18:31,695 --> 00:18:34,898
So we all know that CEOs get
bonuses that workers don't...
317
00:18:35,073 --> 00:18:37,944
...but in the sixth graph
they talk about Congress ending...
318
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:40,277
...deductibility of salaries
over a million...
319
00:18:40,495 --> 00:18:44,078
...and that the measure excluded items
the IRS deemed incentive-based.
320
00:18:44,249 --> 00:18:48,117
In other words, the bonuses
are tax-deductible. In other words...
321
00:18:48,295 --> 00:18:50,833
...Wadkins gets 35 million
for crashing the company...
322
00:18:51,006 --> 00:18:53,841
...and the company gets a deduction.
Toby, college costs...
323
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:57,674
...investment in the future workforce,
in innovation, in the ideas economy...
324
00:18:57,888 --> 00:19:00,723
...in crime reduction,
isn't that a better use of capital...
325
00:19:00,933 --> 00:19:03,056
...than writing off the bonuses?
326
00:19:03,894 --> 00:19:07,808
The guy last night in the bar...
327
00:19:08,023 --> 00:19:09,517
...Matt Kelley...
328
00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:12,568
...the one who was taking
his daughter to visit colleges...
329
00:19:12,778 --> 00:19:15,269
...he said it needs to be
just a little easier.
330
00:19:15,447 --> 00:19:20,156
Not a lot easier, a little. Toby,
every nickel spent on college tuition...
331
00:19:20,369 --> 00:19:23,488
...should be 100 percent
tax-deductible.
332
00:19:23,705 --> 00:19:29,578
Not capped and indexed and bracketed.
Every nickel, 100 percent.
333
00:19:32,130 --> 00:19:33,922
What?
334
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:37,626
That's exactly what
I was gonna tell you.
335
00:19:39,304 --> 00:19:41,380
No, it wasn't.
336
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:43,808
Exactly.
337
00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:47,348
You're saying that now
just to make it seem...
338
00:19:57,739 --> 00:20:01,073
- I'm gonna make some time with Leo.
- And figure out how to pay for it.
339
00:20:01,285 --> 00:20:04,036
- Good.
- Good.
340
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:07,161
- Hello.
- Hey.
341
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:11,538
- Did you sleep all right?
- I did, but then I read this thing and...
342
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:13,082
- How you doing?
- Good.
343
00:20:13,255 --> 00:20:14,583
What's on for tonight?
344
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:17,508
He'll meet with the state party chair.
Say energizing things.
345
00:20:17,676 --> 00:20:20,214
- We in danger of losing Massachusetts?
- No.
346
00:20:20,387 --> 00:20:21,846
- Why am I doing this?
- Because.
347
00:20:22,014 --> 00:20:23,674
- I can't just go to the event?
- No.
348
00:20:23,849 --> 00:20:26,601
- Why?
- Everybody's going to the campaign...
349
00:20:26,768 --> 00:20:29,094
...and we spent 20 hours
getting out of Indiana.
350
00:20:29,271 --> 00:20:31,976
- Who's at Rock the Vote?
- Aimee Mann, Barenaked Ladies...
351
00:20:32,149 --> 00:20:34,438
...Chrissie Hynde,
Sixpence None the Richer...
352
00:20:34,610 --> 00:20:36,649
...Diamondback Whale,
Next Big Thing...
353
00:20:36,820 --> 00:20:39,655
...the Cruel Shoes
and Single-Cell Paramecium.
354
00:20:39,865 --> 00:20:42,154
You've been practicing
for when I asked, right?
355
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:44,325
- Yes.
- And you made up the Cruel Shoes.
356
00:20:44,536 --> 00:20:46,576
- No, Single-Cell Paramecium.
- Okay.
357
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:48,746
The motorcade. We're here!
358
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:50,416
- Would you stop?
- We're here!
359
00:20:50,626 --> 00:20:52,618
You know, everybody's
really over that now.
360
00:20:52,836 --> 00:20:55,410
Admiral Scott,
your expedition's returned.
361
00:20:55,631 --> 00:20:57,623
Look at you,
Don Quixote de la Mancha.
362
00:20:57,841 --> 00:21:01,091
- Don Quixote wasn't an explorer.
- No, but he rode around on a horse.
363
00:21:01,261 --> 00:21:02,672
- You sleep?
- I did better.
364
00:21:02,888 --> 00:21:06,339
Keep it to yourself. I need you to
weigh in on Ritchie and Title IX.
365
00:21:06,558 --> 00:21:09,345
- Yeah, I saw that. I wrote a memo.
- Thank you.
366
00:21:10,395 --> 00:21:12,886
Toby and I are working on tuition
that would be one...
367
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:14,482
- Josh.
- They're back.
368
00:21:14,691 --> 00:21:16,020
- They are?
- Yeah.
369
00:21:16,193 --> 00:21:17,568
- They being funny?
- It's over.
370
00:21:17,736 --> 00:21:21,354
- Barnum, Bailey and their sister, Sue.
- They're almost over it.
371
00:21:21,532 --> 00:21:24,735
We wanna talk to you about an issue
that should be in the campaign.
372
00:21:24,910 --> 00:21:27,318
You know that district court
is ruling on Sullivan?
373
00:21:27,496 --> 00:21:29,654
- V. Commission on Presidential Debates?
- Yeah.
374
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:31,954
- They're never gonna rule for him.
- Sullivan?
375
00:21:32,125 --> 00:21:35,126
Yeah, never gonna rule for him.
Suit gets brought all the time.
376
00:21:35,295 --> 00:21:38,213
I wouldn't be concerned,
but Justice Wingding heard the case.
377
00:21:38,382 --> 00:21:40,707
- Wengland? He's not so crazy.
- Yeah?
378
00:21:40,926 --> 00:21:43,499
- Hey.
- We're back. We're never leaving again.
379
00:21:43,679 --> 00:21:45,588
- Your mother and I were worried.
- Me too.
380
00:21:45,806 --> 00:21:47,134
Fellas?
381
00:21:47,307 --> 00:21:49,596
Tell him not to worry
about the district court.
382
00:21:49,768 --> 00:21:51,844
I told him.
They're not ruling for Sullivan.
383
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:54,772
- He's worried because it's Wengland.
- He's not that crazy.
384
00:21:54,982 --> 00:21:57,270
I'm not that comfortable
with a federal judge...
385
00:21:57,484 --> 00:22:00,521
...being even a little bit crazy.
- I'm going back to my office.
386
00:22:00,737 --> 00:22:04,403
The speech to the teachers this morning?
24 years in professional politics...
387
00:22:04,616 --> 00:22:07,736
...I have never seen anything like it.
You would have been proud.
388
00:22:07,953 --> 00:22:09,946
- We're gonna win this election.
- I do know.
389
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:13,160
- Leo?
- They ruled for Sullivan.
390
00:22:29,975 --> 00:22:32,466
- They ruled for Sullivan?
- Yeah.
391
00:22:32,686 --> 00:22:36,600
C.J., when you guys vet your judicial
candidates, do you go so far as...
392
00:22:36,773 --> 00:22:40,273
...to meet and speak with them?
- Can I see a copy of the decision?
393
00:22:41,653 --> 00:22:44,571
"The commission, a tax-exempt entity,
is legally precluded...
394
00:22:44,781 --> 00:22:47,866
...from partisan politics of any kind.
The 15 percent rule...
395
00:22:48,035 --> 00:22:51,404
...benefiting two major parties is
partisan politics of the worst kind.
396
00:22:51,622 --> 00:22:56,782
Regulatory duopoly, democracy by
favoristic fiat, a bureaucratic junta...
397
00:22:57,002 --> 00:22:59,956
- Yes.
...that's prohibited under federal law."
398
00:23:00,172 --> 00:23:02,295
There's no way"favoristic" is a word.
399
00:23:02,716 --> 00:23:05,551
We agree with you but don't
think it's grounds for appeal.
400
00:23:05,761 --> 00:23:09,260
- We won't have to search high and low.
- This means what I think?
401
00:23:09,473 --> 00:23:11,430
No one can be excluded
from the debates.
402
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,138
You can be excluded,
but the bar is set much...
403
00:23:14,353 --> 00:23:17,935
The Libertarian Party, Natural Law,
Right to Life, Right to Left.
404
00:23:18,148 --> 00:23:20,022
Republicans we're gonna
probably let in.
405
00:23:20,192 --> 00:23:22,231
The appeals process is
gonna take too long.
406
00:23:22,444 --> 00:23:24,852
We're gonna have to go
to the Supreme Court. Sam...
407
00:23:25,030 --> 00:23:27,735
...they can stay the effect
in advance of appeal, right?
408
00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:29,817
- Yeah.
- You gotta get Ritchie's people...
409
00:23:29,993 --> 00:23:32,152
...to join us in the motion.
- Oh, yeah.
410
00:23:32,371 --> 00:23:34,659
All right.
411
00:23:34,831 --> 00:23:36,789
- Sam?
- Yeah?
412
00:23:36,959 --> 00:23:38,951
I had a thought before,
and Toby claims...
413
00:23:39,127 --> 00:23:42,081
...to have had the same thought.
- I showed you DNA evidence...
414
00:23:42,256 --> 00:23:45,173
When Congress put the million-dollar
cap on deducting salary...
415
00:23:45,342 --> 00:23:47,833
...they left a loophole
for incentive-based bonuses.
416
00:23:48,053 --> 00:23:50,591
Yeah. Are not all bonuses
incentive-based?
417
00:23:50,764 --> 00:23:54,429
Are there any bonuses you get just
automatically? Isn't that called salary?
418
00:23:54,643 --> 00:23:58,308
Which is also incentive-based, by the
way. People wouldn't work without one.
419
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,473
- Sam.
- Come back to the pack?
420
00:24:00,649 --> 00:24:03,436
Why isn't college tuition
100 percent tax-deductible?
421
00:24:03,652 --> 00:24:06,487
Why do flammable and inflammable
mean the same thing?
422
00:24:06,655 --> 00:24:08,398
What if we capped it at 80,000?
423
00:24:08,574 --> 00:24:10,447
- You're really talking about this?
- Yes.
424
00:24:10,617 --> 00:24:12,824
Pay for it by closing
the loophole for bonuses?
425
00:24:12,995 --> 00:24:15,664
Nobody's talked to OMB,
but I think it costs 50 billion.
426
00:24:15,831 --> 00:24:19,247
Closing the loophole is
about 35 billion, am I close?
427
00:24:19,418 --> 00:24:23,795
- Yeah, and 15 billion's getable through...
- Yosh?
428
00:24:24,548 --> 00:24:26,208
- She's talking to me, right?
- Yeah.
429
00:24:26,425 --> 00:24:28,548
- I'm reading your memo.
- Memo?
430
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,420
- Machismo manifesto.
- Title IX?
431
00:24:30,637 --> 00:24:32,464
- Oh, yeah.
- Bruno asked me to weigh in.
432
00:24:32,681 --> 00:24:34,341
Can't imagine why he called on you.
433
00:24:34,516 --> 00:24:37,885
I was asked, as a campaign issue,
if we should reexamine Title IX...
434
00:24:38,103 --> 00:24:39,432
...which is a wedge...
435
00:24:39,605 --> 00:24:42,309
...with male voters in Ohio,
Michigan and North Carolina.
436
00:24:42,482 --> 00:24:45,318
- So are a lot of things.
- There's something fair but dumb...
437
00:24:45,485 --> 00:24:46,980
...about a fifty-fifty split...
438
00:24:47,154 --> 00:24:49,775
...when more men are interested
in sports than women.
439
00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:51,740
And don't cite the WNBA and soccer.
440
00:24:51,909 --> 00:24:54,032
More men are interested
in sports than women.
441
00:24:54,203 --> 00:24:56,824
We don't need a study to tell us that,
but if we did...
442
00:24:56,997 --> 00:24:58,539
...there's about 493 of them.
443
00:24:59,166 --> 00:25:01,324
Will you talk to someone
in Stackhouse's camp?
444
00:25:01,502 --> 00:25:03,790
- About the Sullivan decision?
- Should make sure.
445
00:25:03,962 --> 00:25:07,830
Court's gonna stay the judgment. But if
not, Stackhouse'll pass on the debate.
446
00:25:08,008 --> 00:25:10,380
He's not out to kill.
He wants to keep him honest.
447
00:25:10,552 --> 00:25:11,881
Make a courtesy call...
448
00:25:12,054 --> 00:25:15,055
...so we're not taking him for granted.
- I'll call Stackhouse.
449
00:25:15,224 --> 00:25:18,806
Since Title IX, women's participation
in sport has increased 800 percent.
450
00:25:18,977 --> 00:25:22,311
- That's not a typo. It worked.
- Okay.
451
00:25:25,275 --> 00:25:27,517
- Hello.
- Yes.
452
00:25:27,736 --> 00:25:30,903
- Okay, how was your day so far?
- Very exciting.
453
00:25:31,114 --> 00:25:32,906
- You had your security briefing?
- Yes.
454
00:25:33,075 --> 00:25:35,566
I'd like to go through
your answers on the SF-86.
455
00:25:35,744 --> 00:25:38,745
- Sure.
- Three years ago you were asked:
456
00:25:38,914 --> 00:25:42,081
"Have you ever been an officer,
member or made a contribution...
457
00:25:42,251 --> 00:25:45,951
...to an organization dedicated to the
violent overthrow of the government?"
458
00:25:46,129 --> 00:25:48,667
- You answered yes.
- Yes.
459
00:25:48,882 --> 00:25:51,552
- You answered yes.
- I see where you're going with this.
460
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,089
- Do you?
- I do.
461
00:25:53,262 --> 00:25:55,468
While we respect your right
to overthrow...
462
00:25:55,681 --> 00:25:59,678
...we don't respect your right to do it
violently, nor from inside the Oval Office.
463
00:25:59,852 --> 00:26:01,928
I worked in Personnel
when I answered that.
464
00:26:02,104 --> 00:26:04,393
I did it to demonstrate
a problem with the form.
465
00:26:04,565 --> 00:26:07,400
If the FBI wants people to admit
to extremist tendencies...
466
00:26:07,568 --> 00:26:09,940
...they've got to tailor
a more subtle question.
467
00:26:10,153 --> 00:26:12,858
Like,"Have you ever participated
in organizations...
468
00:26:13,031 --> 00:26:16,235
...that seek radical solutions
to egregious social problems?"
469
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:19,536
- I've had some experience with this.
- So has the FBI.
470
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:21,075
Is this gonna screw me up?
471
00:26:21,290 --> 00:26:24,872
Not this probably as much as when
you suggested killing the president.
472
00:26:25,085 --> 00:26:26,413
- I did not.
- Yeah, you did.
473
00:26:26,587 --> 00:26:27,915
No, sir.
474
00:26:28,088 --> 00:26:30,579
"Let's stick arsenic
in President Bartlet's water...
475
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:33,711
...and see if he delegates responsibility
to World Bank then."
476
00:26:33,886 --> 00:26:37,136
Where it says"arsenic," that should read
"Schweppes Bitter Lemon."
477
00:26:37,306 --> 00:26:39,512
- I don't know how that...
- Debbie.
478
00:26:39,725 --> 00:26:43,557
Thirty-five million people in Bangladesh
were drinking contaminated water.
479
00:26:43,729 --> 00:26:45,971
The White House
said they supported...
480
00:26:46,148 --> 00:26:48,105
...World Bank's efforts to address it...
481
00:26:48,275 --> 00:26:51,395
...but made no move to intervene
independently. I wrote a letter.
482
00:26:51,612 --> 00:26:53,569
- The FBI read it as a threat.
- It wasn't.
483
00:26:53,739 --> 00:26:56,526
- Don't be ridiculous.
- I'm not being ridiculous, Debbie.
484
00:26:56,742 --> 00:27:00,526
I was, however, 4 feet away from him
when the guns started firing.
485
00:27:03,457 --> 00:27:05,912
I know. I apologize.
486
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:11,208
Who can I talk to?
487
00:27:11,381 --> 00:27:15,331
I want this job, Charlie.
I didn't before, and I do now.
488
00:27:15,552 --> 00:27:17,426
Who can I talk to?
489
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,513
Let me find out.
490
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,097
- What else?
- It's making rounds...
491
00:27:26,271 --> 00:27:28,264
...Governor Ritchie called
the chancellor.
492
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,100
- What's wrong?
- He's angling for...
493
00:27:30,275 --> 00:27:31,853
...an invitation to the memorial.
494
00:27:32,027 --> 00:27:34,020
- He wants to speak.
- For the love of Mike.
495
00:27:34,196 --> 00:27:37,316
Chancellor was with us in lowa.
The Ritchie people were saying...
496
00:27:37,491 --> 00:27:39,068
...allowing you to be
national healer-in-chief...
497
00:27:39,243 --> 00:27:42,160
Win or lose on the 5th,
I'm the president right now, right?
498
00:27:42,329 --> 00:27:43,704
Yeah, I'm almost sure.
499
00:27:43,914 --> 00:27:46,998
Six of the girls were
exactly Zoey's age.
500
00:27:47,167 --> 00:27:50,951
Tell the chancellor's office if it'll make
his life easier, I'll sit in row 19.
501
00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:54,333
You keep out the press. This has to be
about students and families.
502
00:27:54,508 --> 00:27:56,880
Ritchie and I are gonna have
to summon humanity...
503
00:27:57,094 --> 00:27:59,466
...to keep it from being a political event.
- Yes.
504
00:27:59,638 --> 00:28:01,097
Good afternoon, Mr. President.
505
00:28:01,265 --> 00:28:02,675
- Claudia Jean.
- Sailor.
506
00:28:02,850 --> 00:28:04,759
- In the Oval Office you've really...
- No.
507
00:28:04,977 --> 00:28:06,305
Thank you, Mr. President.
508
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,895
How'd you do with Jordan?
509
00:28:08,063 --> 00:28:11,017
She's a little wary, but she might
be willing to go out again.
510
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:13,599
- But you meant the other problem.
- Yeah.
511
00:28:13,777 --> 00:28:15,686
- She's a little wary.
- Yeah.
512
00:28:15,863 --> 00:28:19,481
She's gone to her office, then going
home for the day. She's gonna think.
513
00:28:19,908 --> 00:28:23,858
All right. In the meantime, what do we
have by way of stalling tactics?
514
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:26,784
- A misinformation campaign.
- We ought to be good at that.
515
00:28:26,957 --> 00:28:29,282
Sir, State feels Shareef was
never comfortable...
516
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:32,164
...with the sultan's friendly
relationship with the West.
517
00:28:32,337 --> 00:28:35,089
State thinks he had a friendly
relationship with the West.
518
00:28:35,257 --> 00:28:38,009
The one-eyed man is king
in a world of... Whatever.
519
00:28:38,177 --> 00:28:42,388
We leak that Shareef used his U.S. trip
as an opportunity to fly to Libya.
520
00:28:42,556 --> 00:28:44,928
Shareef is now alive and well
and living in Libya?
521
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:48,765
And planning to overthrow his brother
and install a fundamentalist regime.
522
00:28:49,062 --> 00:28:51,767
All right. Come back and tell
me how we do it.
523
00:28:51,982 --> 00:28:54,105
Yes, sir.
524
00:28:54,401 --> 00:28:56,109
Blind men.
525
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:59,025
The one-eyed man is king
in a world of blind men.
526
00:28:59,198 --> 00:29:00,775
Thank you, Mr. President.
527
00:29:00,949 --> 00:29:03,784
- Special Agent Casper?
- Yes, please.
528
00:29:03,994 --> 00:29:05,785
- Good afternoon.
- What do you know?
529
00:29:05,954 --> 00:29:07,863
We say the manuscript was credible.
530
00:29:08,081 --> 00:29:11,285
We ran a search using more
of the unique rhetoric or catch phrases.
531
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:15,125
We found a match. A lot was lifted off
the website of a separatist group...
532
00:29:15,297 --> 00:29:18,713
...called the Liberation Cause.
A splinter of the Patriot Brotherhood.
533
00:29:18,926 --> 00:29:22,460
The Internet has been
a phenomenal tool for hate groups.
534
00:29:22,638 --> 00:29:24,796
You should know we're working
on some leads.
535
00:29:24,973 --> 00:29:28,010
Don't pipe bombs usually kill
just two or three people?
536
00:29:28,185 --> 00:29:30,177
- Yes, sir.
- How was it so many yesterday?
537
00:29:30,395 --> 00:29:32,353
The bombs were set off indoors, sir.
538
00:29:32,523 --> 00:29:34,480
There was a huge fire.
539
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:36,856
- Anything else, sir?
- No, thanks.
540
00:29:37,069 --> 00:29:38,646
Thank you, Mr. President.
541
00:29:45,953 --> 00:29:49,037
Ten of those things under
the bleachers at a basketball game?
542
00:29:49,248 --> 00:29:51,999
- They've got good leads.
- Okay.
543
00:29:52,376 --> 00:29:54,415
Thank you, Mr. President.
544
00:29:55,879 --> 00:29:58,002
Charlie?
545
00:29:59,383 --> 00:30:01,790
- Yes, sir.
- In ascending order of age...
546
00:30:01,969 --> 00:30:03,878
...get my daughters
on the phone, please.
547
00:30:04,054 --> 00:30:06,130
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
548
00:30:45,762 --> 00:30:48,300
I just tried Stackhouse again.
549
00:30:48,473 --> 00:30:50,431
He hasn't returned?
550
00:30:50,601 --> 00:30:53,270
- Stackhouse is gonna be fine.
- I've called twice.
551
00:30:53,478 --> 00:30:55,720
At 55,000.
552
00:30:55,898 --> 00:31:00,026
Matt Kelley's in the 27.5
percent bracket.
553
00:31:00,194 --> 00:31:02,519
Assume he takes
the standard deductions.
554
00:31:02,696 --> 00:31:04,689
Let's forget mortgage payments.
555
00:31:04,865 --> 00:31:07,700
- What's his tax liability?
- 13,300.
556
00:31:07,910 --> 00:31:11,361
Tuition at Notre Dame is 25,850.
557
00:31:11,580 --> 00:31:16,206
Let's throw in books,
room and board and it's $34,000.
558
00:31:16,376 --> 00:31:18,452
Saying books are tax-deductible too,
right?
559
00:31:18,629 --> 00:31:21,914
Beer should be tax-deductible,
but we'll live to fight another day.
560
00:31:22,382 --> 00:31:24,624
So with one kid in college...
561
00:31:24,843 --> 00:31:31,012
...Matt Kelley's tax liability just
dropped from 13,300 to 3800?
562
00:31:31,183 --> 00:31:33,555
If we get this done,
it'll be a good day's work.
563
00:31:33,936 --> 00:31:36,059
Let's take it to C.J. when she gets off.
564
00:31:36,230 --> 00:31:41,853
Barenaked Ladies, helping out in the
delivery room of American democracy...
565
00:31:42,069 --> 00:31:44,227
...the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
566
00:31:45,030 --> 00:31:49,822
Twenty-five years ago,
half of all 18- to 24-year-olds voted.
567
00:31:50,035 --> 00:31:52,324
Today it's 25 percent.
568
00:31:52,704 --> 00:31:56,572
18- to 24-year-olds represent
33 percent of the population...
569
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:59,241
...but only account
for 7 percent of voters.
570
00:31:59,628 --> 00:32:01,087
Government isn't about you?
571
00:32:01,255 --> 00:32:03,627
How many of you have
student loans to pay?
572
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:06,800
How many have credit card debt?
573
00:32:07,010 --> 00:32:10,960
How many want clean air and
clean water and civil liberties?
574
00:32:11,348 --> 00:32:14,183
How many want jobs?
575
00:32:15,185 --> 00:32:19,135
How many want kids? How many want
their kids to go to good schools...
576
00:32:19,356 --> 00:32:21,645
...and walk on safe streets?
577
00:32:21,859 --> 00:32:27,529
Decisions are made by those who
show up. You gotta rock the vote!
578
00:32:29,908 --> 00:32:32,862
- What's going on?
- Casper's got something.
579
00:32:36,206 --> 00:32:39,907
Mr. President, three hours ago, sheriff's
deputies in Johnson County, lowa...
580
00:32:40,085 --> 00:32:42,872
...were tipped off
that several men in their 20s...
581
00:32:43,046 --> 00:32:46,083
...bought all the pseudoephedrine
they could get their hands on.
582
00:32:46,258 --> 00:32:48,749
Three stores they went to
were owned by the same man.
583
00:32:48,927 --> 00:32:51,679
- Allergy medicine?
- That, with tractor starter fluid...
584
00:32:51,847 --> 00:32:53,970
...strained through a coffee filter,
is meth.
585
00:32:54,141 --> 00:32:56,133
Tractor starter fluid doesn't kill you?
586
00:32:56,351 --> 00:32:58,724
No, it'll kill you.
First you'll get pretty high.
587
00:32:58,896 --> 00:33:01,600
The sheriff's deputies were shot
at from the house.
588
00:33:01,773 --> 00:33:03,184
These might be our guys?
589
00:33:03,358 --> 00:33:06,063
The address and name of occupants
match a couple names...
590
00:33:06,236 --> 00:33:08,110
...we've linked to Patriot Brotherhood.
591
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,688
We have reason to believe
they're connected to KSU?
592
00:33:10,908 --> 00:33:12,366
They're telling us they are.
593
00:33:12,534 --> 00:33:16,235
They're also telling us they have
MAC-10s, MP5s and CAR15s.
594
00:33:16,413 --> 00:33:17,991
- Are there kids inside?
- Yes, sir.
595
00:33:18,207 --> 00:33:20,876
Let's get the director
and the attorney general.
596
00:33:21,043 --> 00:33:23,830
We only go in on my order, okay?
lt'll be my order.
597
00:33:24,046 --> 00:33:25,919
Yes, sir.
598
00:33:28,008 --> 00:33:30,581
You just knew it was gonna
end up like this.
599
00:33:34,097 --> 00:33:37,348
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Allergy medicine and tractor fluid...
600
00:33:37,518 --> 00:33:40,637
...we're getting high on now.
- All right. Getting strippers?
601
00:33:40,854 --> 00:33:44,140
- How do we do it?
- Langley manufactures documents...
602
00:33:44,358 --> 00:33:48,058
...photographs, audio messages,
even a body double if necessary.
603
00:33:48,278 --> 00:33:50,520
- Is this gonna get ridiculous?
- Absolutely.
604
00:33:51,114 --> 00:33:54,982
We make sure agents in Iraq, Syria
and Iran get a whiff of the story...
605
00:33:55,202 --> 00:33:57,693
...and word inside and outside
the palace spreads.
606
00:33:58,038 --> 00:34:00,494
- We'll see it on Aljazeera?
- If we do our jobs.
607
00:34:00,707 --> 00:34:03,115
No disinformation to U.S. press, right?
608
00:34:03,293 --> 00:34:05,963
We don't give disinformation
to American press.
609
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:09,083
- Unless it's about my medical history?
- Yes, sir.
610
00:34:11,009 --> 00:34:13,927
- All right, let's go.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
611
00:34:21,645 --> 00:34:25,477
All this posturing is a preamble
to something.
612
00:34:25,941 --> 00:34:27,898
You ready to say hello?
613
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:29,688
Why not?
614
00:34:33,615 --> 00:34:35,904
- Hey, Jordan.
- Good evening, Mr. President.
615
00:34:36,118 --> 00:34:38,194
- What do you think?
- I'm sorry, sir?
616
00:34:38,412 --> 00:34:40,155
What do you think?
617
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:42,370
- I don't know.
- Yeah.
618
00:34:42,583 --> 00:34:45,916
I have to tell you, I'm very
uncomfortable knowing what I know.
619
00:34:46,128 --> 00:34:47,705
That makes three of us.
620
00:34:47,921 --> 00:34:51,539
- I haven't had any sort of time...
- Take all the time you want.
621
00:34:51,758 --> 00:34:53,169
You done yet?
622
00:34:53,594 --> 00:34:55,052
You understand, domestically...
623
00:34:55,220 --> 00:34:58,221
...you're looking at possible injury
to separation of powers...
624
00:34:58,390 --> 00:35:00,798
...internationally,
a possible war crimes charge.
625
00:35:01,018 --> 00:35:02,393
At the very least...
626
00:35:02,603 --> 00:35:05,936
...we'd be wading up to our necks
into unprecedented legal waters...
627
00:35:06,106 --> 00:35:08,941
...exposing the presidency
to culpability undreamed of...
628
00:35:09,109 --> 00:35:11,730
...by creators of the U.N.
and the U.S. Constitution.
629
00:35:11,945 --> 00:35:13,985
That makes us groundbreaking,
doesn't it?
630
00:35:14,156 --> 00:35:16,825
Mr. President, I've defended
guilty people before...
631
00:35:16,992 --> 00:35:20,195
...but never had a client that was
willing to admit the crime...
632
00:35:20,412 --> 00:35:23,662
...but didn't expect to go to trial.
- More groundbreaking.
633
00:35:23,874 --> 00:35:26,994
Due respect, Mr. President,
this isn't funny.
634
00:35:27,419 --> 00:35:29,210
Due respect, Ms. Kendall...
635
00:35:29,421 --> 00:35:32,755
...I'm the last person to whom
that needs to be pointed out.
636
00:35:32,925 --> 00:35:36,590
And Article 51 of the United Nations
Charter says every nation...
637
00:35:36,762 --> 00:35:38,968
...has the right to wage war
to defend itself.
638
00:35:39,139 --> 00:35:42,259
The article's incumbent
on wars being declared.
639
00:35:46,688 --> 00:35:48,598
Wars don't work like that anymore.
640
00:35:48,815 --> 00:35:50,310
Laws work like that.
641
00:35:50,484 --> 00:35:53,651
Forty-four people are dead in lowa
and most of them college kids.
642
00:35:53,820 --> 00:35:57,272
Shareef has murdered Americans
in uniform, Americans out of uniform.
643
00:35:57,449 --> 00:35:59,608
He tried to blow up
the Golden Gate Bridge.
644
00:35:59,785 --> 00:36:02,074
I didn't have time to file
an amicus brief.
645
00:36:02,287 --> 00:36:04,957
How can justice served in secret
be justice?
646
00:36:05,165 --> 00:36:07,372
I don't know. I'm working on that.
647
00:36:07,543 --> 00:36:09,915
Anyway, at the moment
I'm having trouble...
648
00:36:10,128 --> 00:36:13,628
...foreseeing the exact legal
consequences on the international stage.
649
00:36:13,799 --> 00:36:15,258
Why?
650
00:36:15,968 --> 00:36:20,131
Because most of international law
doesn't exist yet.
651
00:36:21,223 --> 00:36:24,307
Well, that's what I was
hoping you'd say.
652
00:36:24,518 --> 00:36:26,510
I want there to be justice.
653
00:36:26,687 --> 00:36:29,178
That's why I'm talking to a lawyer.
654
00:36:29,356 --> 00:36:31,598
Anyway, I just came in to say hello.
655
00:36:39,575 --> 00:36:41,117
Charlie?
656
00:36:42,703 --> 00:36:44,861
- Yes, sir.
- I'm heading back to the residence.
657
00:36:45,205 --> 00:36:47,696
- Do you have a moment for Debbie?
- Oh, God.
658
00:36:47,916 --> 00:36:49,873
Yeah.
659
00:36:57,467 --> 00:37:00,468
- Good evening, Mr. President.
- Arsenic?
660
00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:03,384
You gotta give me points for...
661
00:37:04,349 --> 00:37:07,718
Nothing. Nothing you can give me
points for. I don't get any points.
662
00:37:07,895 --> 00:37:10,564
- No.
- I sincerely apologize.
663
00:37:11,398 --> 00:37:15,063
It was a higher environmental
cancer risk than Chernobyl.
664
00:37:16,153 --> 00:37:19,818
We spend 20 million a year on
strategic milk reserve. We can't toss...
665
00:37:20,032 --> 00:37:23,401
Why couldn't you just stop
with"I sincerely apologize"?
666
00:37:24,203 --> 00:37:27,868
- I should have. I see that now...
- Your argument is fakakta, by the way.
667
00:37:28,207 --> 00:37:31,658
The World Bank has a $ 17 billion budget
contributed by 100...
668
00:37:31,835 --> 00:37:33,164
Doesn't matter, don't worry.
669
00:37:33,378 --> 00:37:35,288
-"Don't worry about it."
- Yeah.
670
00:37:35,506 --> 00:37:39,124
- I don't know what that means.
- You can keep the job.
671
00:37:40,135 --> 00:37:41,546
Great.
672
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:43,048
Why?
673
00:37:43,222 --> 00:37:45,891
Why? Because you knock
me out, that's why.
674
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:48,098
How did I do that?
675
00:37:57,736 --> 00:38:00,903
"Let's stick some arsenic
in President Bartlet's drinking water...
676
00:38:01,073 --> 00:38:04,406
...and see if he delegates responsibility
to the World Bank then."
677
00:38:04,952 --> 00:38:06,909
"President Bartlet."
678
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:12,204
You referred to me and to the office
with respect. You're a class act.
679
00:38:13,418 --> 00:38:16,669
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Wack job.
680
00:38:19,174 --> 00:38:21,001
Yes, sir.
681
00:38:48,453 --> 00:38:51,620
It's not the fault of women's sports,
it's the fault of football.
682
00:38:51,790 --> 00:38:53,747
- It's the fault of football?
- Yeah.
683
00:38:53,917 --> 00:38:55,577
Football pays for the other sports.
684
00:38:55,794 --> 00:38:58,036
There are 53 players on an NFL team.
685
00:38:58,213 --> 00:39:01,914
The University of Colorado has 130,
85 of whom are on full scholarship.
686
00:39:02,134 --> 00:39:05,337
I'm for backups and substitutes,
but can't the guy who's fourth...
687
00:39:05,512 --> 00:39:10,008
...on the depth chart at right linebacker
also be fourth at left linebacker?
688
00:39:10,184 --> 00:39:12,935
If a college football team cut
back to 70 scholarships...
689
00:39:13,145 --> 00:39:15,221
...they'd be three deep at
every position...
690
00:39:15,397 --> 00:39:17,888
...and have a fourth-string punter
and place-kicker.
691
00:39:18,066 --> 00:39:20,225
Fifteen scholarships.
That's a wrestling team.
692
00:39:20,402 --> 00:39:22,027
Excuse me.
693
00:39:35,167 --> 00:39:36,661
Hey.
694
00:39:36,919 --> 00:39:40,786
- What are you doing up here?
- I do some work for these guys.
695
00:39:41,215 --> 00:39:43,421
- It's a great event.
- Yeah.
696
00:39:43,634 --> 00:39:46,041
- You look good.
- Yeah?
697
00:39:46,261 --> 00:39:48,669
No, you look tired.
698
00:39:48,847 --> 00:39:50,591
You look good.
699
00:39:50,766 --> 00:39:52,593
Yes, I know.
700
00:39:56,813 --> 00:40:00,064
Hey, did you...? I heard you got
left behind by the motorcade.
701
00:40:00,275 --> 00:40:05,400
Yeah. It took us 20 hours to get out
of Indiana. You should've been with us.
702
00:40:05,614 --> 00:40:09,362
- You would've had fun.
- I would've.
703
00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:14,532
I don't know what to say
about the pipe bombing.
704
00:40:14,706 --> 00:40:16,746
There's nothing to say.
705
00:40:19,169 --> 00:40:22,170
- I miss you.
- I was trying to call Stackhouse...
706
00:40:22,381 --> 00:40:23,839
- I'm sorry?
- What did you say?
707
00:40:24,049 --> 00:40:26,505
- You said you called Howard?
- I haven't heard back.
708
00:40:26,677 --> 00:40:28,586
- What'd you say?
- Calling about Sullivan?
709
00:40:28,804 --> 00:40:31,924
They're not returning my call.
I shouldn't be nervous, right?
710
00:40:32,140 --> 00:40:34,347
- No, you should be.
- Did you say you missed me?
711
00:40:34,518 --> 00:40:35,846
- Josh...
- I should be nervous?
712
00:40:36,019 --> 00:40:37,348
- We're considering...
-"We"?
713
00:40:37,521 --> 00:40:38,896
Stackhouse.
714
00:40:39,898 --> 00:40:44,394
The district court says Howard
Stackhouse can appear in the debates.
715
00:40:44,570 --> 00:40:47,274
Is Stackhouse under
new management?
716
00:40:47,489 --> 00:40:50,158
It's been... For debate prep.
It's been offered to me.
717
00:40:50,576 --> 00:40:53,363
This is not the deal
we made with them.
718
00:40:53,537 --> 00:40:56,621
In one week, he is supposed
to endorse the president.
719
00:40:56,832 --> 00:41:00,699
- He never thought he'd get in.
- He's not!
720
00:41:00,919 --> 00:41:03,375
So he's moving you
from consultant to...
721
00:41:03,547 --> 00:41:07,331
I don't know, it's all happening fast.
It's just today.
722
00:41:08,427 --> 00:41:10,918
I'm considering it.
723
00:41:14,391 --> 00:41:16,929
It wasn't the deal we had.
724
00:41:20,397 --> 00:41:22,390
I miss you.
725
00:41:22,608 --> 00:41:23,936
You gotta ask yourself...
726
00:41:24,109 --> 00:41:26,980
...multimillion-dollar bonuses are
deductible, not tuition?
727
00:41:27,154 --> 00:41:30,071
Corporations donate to the members
of tax-writing committees.
728
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:33,407
I didn't mean you really had to ask.
I knew you knew the answer.
729
00:41:33,577 --> 00:41:36,531
Ritchie's already coming after us
for politicizing the budget.
730
00:41:36,705 --> 00:41:39,161
Plus, Leo hates to make
policy through tax code...
731
00:41:39,333 --> 00:41:41,871
...because we can't do reform
without unraveling it.
732
00:41:42,044 --> 00:41:43,502
Was that Amy?
733
00:41:43,712 --> 00:41:47,211
Yeah. If the Sullivan decision's upheld...
734
00:41:47,424 --> 00:41:49,381
...Stackhouse wants into the debate.
735
00:41:49,551 --> 00:41:51,627
He's not gonna endorse the president.
736
00:41:53,514 --> 00:41:56,929
- Had to see that coming.
- I'm calling Bruno.
737
00:41:57,142 --> 00:41:59,847
Court's gonna stay the effect.
He won't be in the debate.
738
00:42:00,020 --> 00:42:01,348
Josh'll take care of it.
739
00:42:01,522 --> 00:42:04,273
- Anyway, college tuitions...
- Another reason not to do it...
740
00:42:04,483 --> 00:42:06,522
There are a lot of reasons not to do it.
741
00:42:08,529 --> 00:42:10,189
But...
742
00:42:11,323 --> 00:42:16,032
...we met a guy last night
at an airport hotel in the bar.
743
00:42:16,203 --> 00:42:21,197
His daughter was upstairs in the room.
They'd been looking at colleges.
744
00:42:21,375 --> 00:42:23,533
He makes $55,000 a year.
745
00:42:23,710 --> 00:42:26,415
His mutual fund got beat up
yesterday on Wall Street.
746
00:42:26,588 --> 00:42:30,633
He was so happy to be taking
his daughter to colleges.
747
00:42:30,801 --> 00:42:32,840
He came downstairs to the bar.
748
00:42:33,011 --> 00:42:35,681
He didn't want her to
see that he didn't know...
749
00:42:35,848 --> 00:42:38,089
...how he was gonna pay for it.
750
00:42:38,267 --> 00:42:41,552
There are a lot of reasons not to do it.
751
00:42:41,728 --> 00:42:45,347
But the president said,
"There are two kinds of politicians..."
752
00:42:45,566 --> 00:42:47,309
"Ones who try to say yes
and ones who try to say no."
753
00:42:47,484 --> 00:42:50,983
We're gonna throw these guys
out because they wanna say no.
754
00:42:54,074 --> 00:42:57,194
If we're gonna get thrown out,
I don't want it to be for that.
755
00:42:57,369 --> 00:42:59,942
Let's take it to Leo.
756
00:43:08,380 --> 00:43:10,123
Hello?
757
00:43:10,966 --> 00:43:13,920
- Matt? Matt?
- Yeah?
758
00:43:14,136 --> 00:43:16,543
It's for you.
A man named Toby Ziegler.
759
00:43:16,763 --> 00:43:18,139
You know him?
760
00:43:18,974 --> 00:43:21,132
Yeah.
761
00:43:26,356 --> 00:43:28,479
- Hello?
- Matt?
762
00:43:28,734 --> 00:43:30,857
It's me, from last night.
763
00:43:32,779 --> 00:43:35,152
We got home fine, thanks.
764
00:43:35,324 --> 00:43:37,815
Now, let me tell you what
we're working on.66376
