1
00:00:06,107 --> 00:00:07,437
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:07,610 --> 00:00:10,733
The government forces run by
the Arkutu have apparently killed...
3
00:00:10,909 --> 00:00:13,747
...as many as 200 Induye
on the streets of Bitanga.
4
00:00:13,915 --> 00:00:16,836
- How many are dead right now?
- Could be as many as 5000.
5
00:00:17,005 --> 00:00:18,881
State Department estimates yesterday...
6
00:00:19,092 --> 00:00:21,800
...put the dead at anywhere
between 3000 and 7000.
7
00:00:21,973 --> 00:00:24,894
- Are there revised estimates today?
- Fifteen thousand.
8
00:00:25,105 --> 00:00:27,813
C.J. this morning
put the body count at 15,000.
9
00:00:27,986 --> 00:00:31,608
- You're talking about Kundu?
- I have revised estimates for Kundu.
10
00:00:31,786 --> 00:00:33,946
We'd said 15,000 yesterday...
11
00:00:34,124 --> 00:00:37,044
...intelligence reports are putting it
closer to 25.
12
00:00:37,255 --> 00:00:39,464
I got this intelligence
summary this afternoon:
13
00:00:39,969 --> 00:00:43,508
"Mothers are standing
in front of tanks."
14
00:00:44,353 --> 00:00:46,015
And we're gonna go get their backs.
15
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:53,740
... consisting of the USS Harpers Ferry,
the USS Cleveland...
16
00:00:53,915 --> 00:00:57,751
... the LHD 4 Boxer,
16 light armored vehicles...
17
00:00:57,923 --> 00:01:01,795
... four M1 A 1 Main Battle Tanks,
four Cobras and eight Harriers.
18
00:01:01,973 --> 00:01:04,348
What about the 82nd?
It's Fitz, general.
19
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,061
The 82nd began their drop
75 minutes ago.
20
00:01:07,234 --> 00:01:08,611
They're in the process of...
21
00:01:08,779 --> 00:01:10,109
You have a call, sir.
22
00:01:10,282 --> 00:01:13,952
Excuse me, Mr. President,
Mr. Chairman, for just a moment.
23
00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:21,339
I don't understand.
Did we just get put on call waiting?
24
00:01:21,556 --> 00:01:25,309
He's probably taking a call from
Captain Morita on the Tallahassee.
25
00:01:25,481 --> 00:01:28,818
Wendall's answering the phones
at U.S. European Command?
26
00:01:28,988 --> 00:01:31,030
Would you take it easy?
27
00:01:33,163 --> 00:01:36,002
- Is he placing a bet?
- Are we allowed to do that?
28
00:01:36,170 --> 00:01:39,008
And can I make a quick call
before the 101 st Air Assault...
29
00:01:39,176 --> 00:01:41,337
- Excuse me, Mr. President.
- Was that Morita?
30
00:01:41,514 --> 00:01:43,058
- Yes, sir.
- What happened?
31
00:01:43,268 --> 00:01:45,892
The 82nd's completed its takeover
of Bitanga Airport.
32
00:01:46,065 --> 00:01:47,692
That's what's happened.
33
00:01:47,861 --> 00:01:51,649
Clear the 101 st for Bitanga Airport and
stand by for a coded command, general.
34
00:01:51,827 --> 00:01:53,240
Yes, sir.
35
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:55,159
Mr. President, thank you.
36
00:01:55,376 --> 00:01:58,334
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
37
00:02:00,345 --> 00:02:02,387
- That was impressive.
- Me?
38
00:02:02,558 --> 00:02:04,683
- No, them. I meant...
- I get it.
39
00:02:04,855 --> 00:02:06,350
- I'm saying...
- I agree with you.
40
00:02:06,525 --> 00:02:09,363
I'm not saying I don't think
you can be impressive in there.
41
00:02:09,531 --> 00:02:12,535
I can tell by the way you laughed
at the suggestion that I was.
42
00:02:12,704 --> 00:02:15,412
- We changed wheels up to 6 p.m.
- I heard that, why?
43
00:02:15,585 --> 00:02:19,373
- DCCC put an event in Brentwood.
- I told him over and over about money...
44
00:02:19,552 --> 00:02:22,473
...and endorsements from outside
the district. Why Brentwood?
45
00:02:22,642 --> 00:02:25,480
- Same reason Willy Sutton robbed banks.
- What does Joey say?
46
00:02:25,648 --> 00:02:29,021
He's anywhere from five to eight points
down, favorability below 50.
47
00:02:29,197 --> 00:02:30,859
They're making it about values.
48
00:02:31,034 --> 00:02:33,362
The right to privacy is a value.
So is clean air.
49
00:02:33,539 --> 00:02:36,080
That argument's been incredibly
effective in the past.
50
00:02:36,253 --> 00:02:38,047
- OMB?
- They want a few more hours...
51
00:02:38,216 --> 00:02:41,422
...for the revenue calculations,
but they're saying it'll be today.
52
00:02:41,598 --> 00:02:43,557
Deficit neutral.
We've had 14 meetings.
53
00:02:43,727 --> 00:02:45,806
They understand.
Ways and Means Democrats...
54
00:02:45,982 --> 00:02:47,893
...then the NEC briefing on scoring.
55
00:02:48,070 --> 00:02:50,824
What's wrong with booze
and a comfortable pickup?
56
00:02:50,992 --> 00:02:52,821
- Scoring.
- I know what you were saying.
57
00:02:52,997 --> 00:02:56,120
- Are you from the Ozarks?
- Will there be a Democratic tax plan...
58
00:02:56,295 --> 00:02:59,133
...or will I be in NEC scoring hell
for the rest of my term?
59
00:02:59,301 --> 00:03:01,593
You got a meeting on salmon runs
in Oregon at 3.
60
00:03:01,765 --> 00:03:05,220
- What do salmon runs have to do with it?
- It has nothing to do with taxes.
61
00:03:05,397 --> 00:03:07,725
- I'm moving on.
- Last week it's a banana embargo.
62
00:03:07,903 --> 00:03:09,482
Is Congress opening a restaurant?
63
00:03:09,656 --> 00:03:11,817
There's no reason
not to relax in California.
64
00:03:11,994 --> 00:03:13,324
- Aren't there a few?
- Yes.
65
00:03:13,539 --> 00:03:16,378
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Miss Hamantaschen.
66
00:03:16,546 --> 00:03:18,587
Isn't it a little early in the day, sir?
67
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:23,224
Leo said that there was gonna be an NEC
briefing on scoring. Tell her what I said.
68
00:03:23,393 --> 00:03:25,851
"What's wrong with booze
and a comfortable pickup?"
69
00:03:26,024 --> 00:03:27,853
No. I see there's no hour too early...
70
00:03:28,028 --> 00:03:30,736
...for your Noël Coward-esque wit, sir.
- No, there's not.
71
00:03:30,909 --> 00:03:33,319
Ambassador Tiki
is in the Oval Office, sir.
72
00:03:33,539 --> 00:03:36,793
Mr. Ambassador, sorry to make you
wait. I was in the Situation Room.
73
00:03:36,963 --> 00:03:40,133
Mr. President, the U.S. is trampling
on my country's sovereignty.
74
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:43,427
- On behalf of President Nzele...
- I've just taken your airport.
75
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:50,616
Clearing the way for the 101 st
Air Assault to take the capital.
76
00:03:50,784 --> 00:03:54,073
Seven thousand troops,
25 battle tanks...
77
00:03:54,291 --> 00:03:57,046
...15 Apache attack helicopters
and three destroyers.
78
00:03:57,255 --> 00:04:00,426
Strictly speaking, I conquered your
country without the paperwork.
79
00:04:01,013 --> 00:04:03,852
- Kundu is in the midst of a civil war.
- No, it's not.
80
00:04:04,020 --> 00:04:07,724
It's in the midst of a one-sided
slaughtering of an entire people.
81
00:04:07,903 --> 00:04:11,240
Both the secretary general of the U.N.
and the Vatican have pleaded...
82
00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:15,198
...with President Nzele for a cease-fire,
and both of them have struck out...
83
00:04:15,377 --> 00:04:18,666
...to the peril of
115,000 Induye men, women...
84
00:04:18,884 --> 00:04:20,760
...and children, particularly the boys.
85
00:04:20,972 --> 00:04:22,633
Who will soon be men and rise up...
86
00:04:22,809 --> 00:04:26,395
The heads of Ghana, Nigeria and Zaire
have similarly been sent packing.
87
00:04:26,567 --> 00:04:30,403
The Red Cross has been denied entry
on three occasions in the last 10 days.
88
00:04:30,575 --> 00:04:33,698
President Nzele has 36 hours
to give the command to his troops...
89
00:04:33,873 --> 00:04:36,913
...to hand over their weapons
to the 82nd Airborne Division...
90
00:04:37,089 --> 00:04:39,713
...of the U.S. Army.
At 36 hours and one minute...
91
00:04:40,304 --> 00:04:43,343
...I give the order for the 101 st
Air Assault to take Bitanga...
92
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,389
...and run up our flag.
93
00:04:46,984 --> 00:04:50,321
I skipped breakfast.
Anybody want coffee or something?
94
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,074
Advertise your product or brand here
contact www.OpenSubtitles.org today
95
00:05:37,798 --> 00:05:41,337
The president informed both
Ambassador Tiki and President Nzele...
96
00:05:41,514 --> 00:05:43,094
...that they have 36...
97
00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:46,475
Now 34 and a half hours to implement
a halt to the violence...
98
00:05:46,650 --> 00:05:48,027
...before U.S. forces deploy.
99
00:05:48,195 --> 00:05:50,024
- John.
- And that would consist of what?
100
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:52,444
You've got a Pentagon briefing
at noon. Katie.
101
00:05:52,621 --> 00:05:54,283
Are we in direct talks with Nzele?
102
00:05:54,458 --> 00:05:57,082
The government of Ghana is acting
as an intermediary...
103
00:05:57,256 --> 00:06:00,675
...and talks begin within the hour.
- Does the operation have a name?
104
00:06:00,846 --> 00:06:03,221
- Safe Haven.
- Have you decided on a press policy?
105
00:06:03,393 --> 00:06:05,721
- Always be upbeat.
- Right. I meant, are...?
106
00:06:05,899 --> 00:06:08,903
I don't get to decide press policy
for the U.S. armed forces...
107
00:06:09,072 --> 00:06:12,611
...though if wishing made it so.
We're bringing Pentagon Public Affairs...
108
00:06:12,788 --> 00:06:16,042
...on the California trip, and we'll
be meeting about it all weekend.
109
00:06:16,212 --> 00:06:19,299
Tonight's forecast for D.C.
is 18 degrees of mercury.
110
00:06:19,469 --> 00:06:21,594
For Newport Beach it's 78 and sunny.
111
00:06:21,765 --> 00:06:23,177
- At night?
- Even at night.
112
00:06:23,519 --> 00:06:25,312
What kind of reception do you expect?
113
00:06:25,523 --> 00:06:27,933
Sam's gonna meet us,
and we'll get something to eat.
114
00:06:28,529 --> 00:06:30,690
- I meant by Orange County.
- Don't be fooled.
115
00:06:30,909 --> 00:06:34,828
They love us in Orange County.
They're crazy-go-nuts for the president.
116
00:06:35,001 --> 00:06:38,706
Really the Democratic Party in general.
I think they like it when we visit.
117
00:06:38,884 --> 00:06:41,093
When we were there last,
we worked the crowd...
118
00:06:41,264 --> 00:06:44,767
...and some boys worried that I
couldn't afford fruits and vegetables...
119
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:47,563
...on a government salary,
tossed me some of their own.
120
00:06:47,736 --> 00:06:50,360
Seventy-eight and sunny.
Yeah, we'll have a great time.
121
00:06:50,533 --> 00:06:52,742
Unless there are updates,
see you on the plane.
122
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:56,500
- C.J., thank you.
- I've got $ 1331 in my checking account.
123
00:06:56,713 --> 00:06:59,836
I'll write you a check for $ 1300
to go to California in my place.
124
00:07:00,011 --> 00:07:02,172
Just leave me $31
for food and transportation.
125
00:07:02,350 --> 00:07:04,011
Gretchen Olan's been bumped
from Meet the Press.
126
00:07:04,187 --> 00:07:07,559
That, by the way, was a sky-blue
DKNY suit worn for 41 minutes.
127
00:07:07,736 --> 00:07:09,945
- There should be a law against that.
- There is.
128
00:07:10,116 --> 00:07:12,871
- Who was she bumped for?
- Rittenhouse. This Week wants...
129
00:07:13,039 --> 00:07:15,366
...to reschedule the attorney general.
- For who?
130
00:07:15,544 --> 00:07:16,874
Gacey, I think.
131
00:07:17,047 --> 00:07:19,588
Let's try to get Gretchen
in front of the Times...
132
00:07:19,761 --> 00:07:21,221
- The HHS...
- Wait a second.
133
00:07:21,389 --> 00:07:23,301
- Rittenhouse and Gacey?
- Yeah.
134
00:07:23,477 --> 00:07:26,517
It's the tax plan. Josh.
135
00:07:26,692 --> 00:07:29,780
Rittenhouse and Gacey
just booked the Sunday shows.
136
00:07:30,325 --> 00:07:31,820
We need to see the president.
137
00:07:31,995 --> 00:07:35,082
It is better to work to live, I think,
than to live to work.
138
00:07:35,252 --> 00:07:39,123
Right. On the other hand, 20 percent
of your youth is unemployed.
139
00:07:39,302 --> 00:07:41,629
- They're just living to live.
- Yes, that's right.
140
00:07:41,807 --> 00:07:44,930
But we have the best public
health care and pension in the world.
141
00:07:45,105 --> 00:07:47,860
State-financed pensions
are equal almost to income levels.
142
00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:52,529
It helps when someone else is picking up
bigger ticket items like national defense.
143
00:07:52,705 --> 00:07:55,828
- I love seeing my two men sparring.
- I'm sorry?
144
00:07:56,003 --> 00:07:57,713
- She's very fond of you.
- Excellent.
145
00:07:57,882 --> 00:07:59,960
- Sir?
- Yes, absolutely. Send them in.
146
00:08:00,137 --> 00:08:02,298
You see, there is an attitude
in your culture.
147
00:08:02,475 --> 00:08:04,850
There is an effort to defy
all that is European...
148
00:08:05,022 --> 00:08:07,147
...and that behavior is seen
by many to be...
149
00:08:07,318 --> 00:08:10,358
- Yeah. Hang on. What do you need?
- We didn't know you were busy.
150
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:12,327
- We'll wait outside.
- It's all right.
151
00:08:12,538 --> 00:08:14,532
- The three of you should bond.
- Come here.
152
00:08:18,383 --> 00:08:20,592
If you leave, I'll kill you.
153
00:08:21,306 --> 00:08:23,016
Yes, sir.
154
00:08:23,227 --> 00:08:25,387
Sorry, Jean Paul,
I'll have to cut this short.
155
00:08:25,565 --> 00:08:29,697
Josh has gotten himself into a jam.
But I'll see you on the plane tonight.
156
00:08:29,865 --> 00:08:31,741
I look forward to more discussion on...
157
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:33,823
...you know, what's wrong with me.
- Yes.
158
00:08:34,166 --> 00:08:36,790
Bye, Dad. See you guys.
159
00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:40,924
The chair of House Ways and Means
and Senate Finance...
160
00:08:41,097 --> 00:08:43,805
...are doing the Sunday shows.
- Think the Republicans...
161
00:08:43,978 --> 00:08:45,889
...are unveiling their tax plan?
- I do.
162
00:08:46,066 --> 00:08:47,396
- Thank God.
- Why?
163
00:08:47,569 --> 00:08:51,108
Then we can roll out ours and I don't
have to go to more scoring meetings.
164
00:08:51,285 --> 00:08:53,993
But it means they'll announce their
tax plan later today.
165
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:57,170
That's tomorrow and Sunday
before we can respond.
166
00:08:57,381 --> 00:09:00,920
Why not respond Saturday or Sunday?
Better yet, let's go first.
167
00:09:01,097 --> 00:09:05,681
- Call the press in and I'll do it right now.
- It's not ready yet. It's still being scored.
168
00:09:05,857 --> 00:09:08,185
- Toby?
- I don't like that French kid very much.
169
00:09:09,573 --> 00:09:11,449
- It'll be ready tomorrow?
- Yes.
170
00:09:11,619 --> 00:09:14,659
I say respond to theirs with ours,
but do it tomorrow or Sunday.
171
00:09:14,834 --> 00:09:16,627
You'd be announcing a tax increase...
172
00:09:16,797 --> 00:09:19,124
...on the richest one percent
from Orange County.
173
00:09:19,344 --> 00:09:22,847
- Then that's where we do it.
- Except, Mr. President, it'll kill Sam.
174
00:09:23,018 --> 00:09:24,348
It'll kill him in the 47th.
175
00:09:24,521 --> 00:09:27,644
It may be seen as gutsy,
but you'll kill Sam's campaign.
176
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:30,610
Which is why I think
we should cancel the trip.
177
00:09:30,784 --> 00:09:32,577
- And announce from here.
- Yes, sir.
178
00:09:32,746 --> 00:09:36,998
Won't canceling the trip be taken as a
signal that we've given up on the 47th?
179
00:09:37,172 --> 00:09:39,167
- Yes.
- And do equal damage to the campaign?
180
00:09:39,344 --> 00:09:41,137
- Yeah.
- You wanna go to Orange County?
181
00:09:41,306 --> 00:09:42,636
I think we have to go.
182
00:09:42,809 --> 00:09:46,182
Even though there's $ 1300 with your
name on it if you don't make me go.
183
00:09:46,358 --> 00:09:47,938
- Forget the dress.
- It was a suit.
184
00:09:48,112 --> 00:09:50,107
- I was hit by an avocado.
- Could be worse.
185
00:09:50,283 --> 00:09:51,660
- How?
- It could've hit me.
186
00:09:51,828 --> 00:09:53,953
The first 24 hours of the cycle
are critical.
187
00:09:54,166 --> 00:09:57,835
We can't fight something with nothing,
and that's what we have for 48 hours...
188
00:09:58,007 --> 00:10:01,047
...after they announce
if we don't announce too.
189
00:10:04,563 --> 00:10:07,271
That's a killer decision.
190
00:10:08,613 --> 00:10:12,235
But let's lean towards Sam and say
we smile and keep our mouths shut...
191
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:15,832
...in California, and then come out
fighting Monday morning.
192
00:10:16,003 --> 00:10:18,462
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Thank you, sir.
193
00:10:18,926 --> 00:10:22,548
I'm gonna go pack 38 sets of clothes
now for two days.
194
00:10:22,726 --> 00:10:25,564
Will. Every speech the president gives
on Tuesday...
195
00:10:25,732 --> 00:10:29,604
...has to be about the Democratic tax
plan. And how many public remarks...
196
00:10:29,782 --> 00:10:31,611
...is he making on Tuesday?
- Nine.
197
00:10:31,786 --> 00:10:33,947
Plus we need speech inserts
for the Cabinet.
198
00:10:34,124 --> 00:10:36,333
- I can get it done by Tuesday.
- Yes, you can...
199
00:10:36,504 --> 00:10:39,259
...because you'll use staff to help you.
- Which staff?
200
00:10:39,427 --> 00:10:42,384
Your staff. The White House
speechwriting staff. Your staff.
201
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,637
You'll say what you need.
You'll expect it.
202
00:10:44,813 --> 00:10:47,224
You'll say how they can improve,
and they'll do it.
203
00:10:47,402 --> 00:10:49,313
- Yes. In theory.
- Yes.
204
00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:51,485
- Yes.
- On paper your plan is very sound.
205
00:10:51,661 --> 00:10:53,786
- But in reality?
- I don't think they like me.
206
00:10:53,957 --> 00:10:58,624
- No, no. They don't like you at all.
- Why? Why, oh, why is that true?
207
00:10:58,801 --> 00:11:00,178
- What did I do?
- I don't know.
208
00:11:00,346 --> 00:11:04,050
- More to the point, I don't care.
- I made Rice Krispies Treats.
209
00:11:04,229 --> 00:11:07,732
They've been working here forever.
You're here a minute, you're a deputy.
210
00:11:07,903 --> 00:11:11,406
- They have whiplash.
- Understanding that, I brought in treats.
211
00:11:11,577 --> 00:11:14,498
- I'm surprised they haven't come around.
- I can do it myself.
212
00:11:14,667 --> 00:11:16,044
Listen to me.
213
00:11:16,212 --> 00:11:19,335
Many of these are the lowest
possible priority remarks.
214
00:11:19,511 --> 00:11:22,218
There are more valuable places
for your time.
215
00:11:22,392 --> 00:11:23,888
Now, instruct your staff.
216
00:11:24,062 --> 00:11:25,724
Yes.
217
00:11:28,947 --> 00:11:31,156
- Excuse me, Ginger?
- Yes.
218
00:11:31,327 --> 00:11:34,782
- Are you, by any chance, on my staff?
- I'm one of your staff assistants.
219
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,629
Great. Would you call a meeting of
the speechwriting staff for this evening.
220
00:11:38,801 --> 00:11:41,092
- Are you gonna be there?
- Yeah. Yes.
221
00:11:41,264 --> 00:11:43,176
Yes. The meeting's with me.
222
00:11:43,352 --> 00:11:45,928
- Yes, sir.
- Thanks.
223
00:12:04,312 --> 00:12:06,354
- Hello.
- Hey, it's Will.
224
00:12:06,525 --> 00:12:09,066
- How you doing?
- Why did you cancel the Teamsters?
225
00:12:09,239 --> 00:12:12,197
Scott thought we should be at
the Manufacturing Association.
226
00:12:12,413 --> 00:12:13,908
I don't think that was smart.
227
00:12:14,751 --> 00:12:18,088
Hey, Scott, Will says he doesn't think
you're very smart.
228
00:12:19,051 --> 00:12:21,212
- I said it wasn't smart.
- What do you need?
229
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:23,800
- I'm just calling to say hi.
- Really?
230
00:12:23,978 --> 00:12:26,603
How do I get the speechwriting staff
to like me?
231
00:12:26,776 --> 00:12:28,771
I don't know.
But when you do, tell me how.
232
00:12:28,947 --> 00:12:31,951
- They didn't get along with you?
- No. You'll need new staffers.
233
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,125
The problem is, there are a lot of
remarks we need for Monday.
234
00:12:35,377 --> 00:12:36,707
What's going on Monday?
235
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:40,922
The environment. It's a whole thing
about the environment.
236
00:12:41,515 --> 00:12:43,059
Sam?
237
00:12:43,227 --> 00:12:45,982
- Gotta go.
- Okay.
238
00:12:46,692 --> 00:12:48,687
He wondered why we cancelled
the Teamsters.
239
00:12:48,905 --> 00:12:52,278
While they're here, you need to work
hard at avoiding the appearance...
240
00:12:52,454 --> 00:12:54,663
...you're in his lap.
He's reading you a story.
241
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,001
I'll need to work to avoid
that appearance?
242
00:12:57,173 --> 00:12:58,502
Yeah, you are.
243
00:12:58,676 --> 00:13:00,469
What's planned that may be mistaken...?
244
00:13:00,638 --> 00:13:02,633
You stand next to him,
you're aide-de-camp.
245
00:13:02,809 --> 00:13:05,018
- You're a water boy.
- Second banana.
246
00:13:05,189 --> 00:13:06,650
Did you think I didn't get it?
247
00:13:06,859 --> 00:13:08,569
This went fast in an ugly direction.
248
00:13:08,738 --> 00:13:11,232
The point is, people need to know
you're independent.
249
00:13:11,411 --> 00:13:15,413
You know, I have a good feeling
about this trip already.
250
00:13:18,258 --> 00:13:21,963
Debate will be coming tomorrow morning
when GOP leaders plan to roll out...
251
00:13:22,141 --> 00:13:25,561
... their ambitious $800 billion
tax-cut plan...
252
00:13:25,732 --> 00:13:28,606
... their prescription
for an ailing economy.
253
00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:31,356
It's your money.
You ought to keep more of it.
254
00:13:33,290 --> 00:13:34,833
This is what Americans deserve.
255
00:13:35,503 --> 00:13:38,673
Still no response from the White House
on what is certain to be...
256
00:13:38,843 --> 00:13:42,845
... the biggest, most contentious debate
of this new Congressional session.
257
00:13:43,018 --> 00:13:45,143
- He'll go out of his mind.
- I'll go with him.
258
00:13:45,315 --> 00:13:47,108
- Is it worse than we expected?
- It is.
259
00:13:47,444 --> 00:13:49,688
- We expected...
- They did 15 across the board.
260
00:13:49,908 --> 00:13:51,902
It sounds like that,
but I haven't seen anything.
261
00:13:52,079 --> 00:13:54,917
- Plus capital gains.
- I thought we were talking about that.
262
00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:56,961
I didn't even realize the 15 percent.
263
00:13:57,173 --> 00:13:59,001
Did you just see that?
264
00:13:59,219 --> 00:14:01,094
Oh, my God.
265
00:14:01,265 --> 00:14:02,974
Have you been onboard
the whole time?
266
00:14:03,185 --> 00:14:05,857
No, I hopped on when you guys
were over the Great Lakes.
267
00:14:06,066 --> 00:14:07,977
- Why are you here?
- I said I was coming.
268
00:14:08,154 --> 00:14:10,826
- I said you couldn't fly.
- Dr. Salmi said I could fly...
269
00:14:10,993 --> 00:14:14,580
...through the 32nd week. I thought
since he's my doctor and you're dumb...
270
00:14:14,751 --> 00:14:17,625
...I'd join the Congressional delegation
and help out Sam.
271
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:19,259
- Isn't it great?
- Listen to me.
272
00:14:19,427 --> 00:14:22,266
We've got all kinds of atmospheric
cabin pressure up here.
273
00:14:22,434 --> 00:14:26,518
We're a little late, so the colonel's
put the hammer down in a 747.
274
00:14:26,693 --> 00:14:30,196
You've got wind shear, downdraft,
massive turbulence.
275
00:14:30,409 --> 00:14:34,078
Not to mention four giant engines
burning jet fuel at galactic temperatures.
276
00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:36,161
We're standing in a flying death tube.
277
00:14:38,551 --> 00:14:41,508
No, not the rest of you.
It's just my family.
278
00:14:41,682 --> 00:14:44,686
- It's... It's fine. Look...
- What do you want me to do, step off?
279
00:14:44,855 --> 00:14:46,815
Also, you've got twins in there.
280
00:14:46,985 --> 00:14:50,322
You're basically a minivan.
How are you fitting into a seat?
281
00:14:52,830 --> 00:14:55,039
I saw him first, girls.
282
00:14:56,797 --> 00:14:58,423
- Josh?
- Yeah.
283
00:14:58,592 --> 00:15:02,677
I checked the voice mail and there are a
couple of messages from an lvan Perez...
284
00:15:02,851 --> 00:15:05,475
...of the California Agricultural
Laborers Association.
285
00:15:05,649 --> 00:15:07,727
- Say that again.
- California Agricultural...
286
00:15:07,903 --> 00:15:11,573
...Laborers Association. He's staying in
our hotel, and he wants five minutes.
287
00:15:11,745 --> 00:15:14,203
I don't know him.
Find out if he's for real first.
288
00:15:14,375 --> 00:15:15,955
- How?
- You meet with him.
289
00:15:16,129 --> 00:15:18,254
What litmus test
would you like me to use?
290
00:15:18,425 --> 00:15:20,919
Well, to begin with,
is he wearing shoes and a shirt?
291
00:15:21,139 --> 00:15:22,552
Say he is.
292
00:15:22,726 --> 00:15:25,398
Ask him what he thinks
of Richard Sutter.
293
00:15:25,565 --> 00:15:29,401
He's the assemblyman who proposed
the farm labor... It doesn't matter.
294
00:15:29,574 --> 00:15:33,362
If he doesn't have a strong opinion
on Sutter, he doesn't play at your level.
295
00:15:33,540 --> 00:15:35,084
I have a level?
296
00:15:35,252 --> 00:15:38,672
You do. It's not a lot to speak of,
but, you know, no shoes, no shirt.
297
00:15:38,843 --> 00:15:40,422
I'm sorry, but you draw the line.
298
00:15:40,597 --> 00:15:43,090
- Richard Sutter.
- An assemblyman.
299
00:15:43,269 --> 00:15:45,180
We've begun spreading
our magic already.
300
00:15:45,357 --> 00:15:47,351
- What happened?
- Some wires got crossed...
301
00:15:47,528 --> 00:15:50,200
...between the Advance
and Airlift Operations and C.H.P.
302
00:15:50,367 --> 00:15:52,777
They got word too late
that takeoff was delayed...
303
00:15:52,956 --> 00:15:55,913
...and they thought we were coming
into SNA, not Los Alamitos.
304
00:15:56,087 --> 00:15:58,795
- The result being?
- Interstate 5 has been shut down...
305
00:15:58,968 --> 00:16:00,298
...for an hour and a half.
306
00:16:00,471 --> 00:16:02,347
Is that a freeway that gets used a lot?
307
00:16:02,517 --> 00:16:05,225
Not for the last hour and a half, no.
308
00:16:05,398 --> 00:16:10,149
All right, has the president seen any
of the news on the Republican tax cut?
309
00:16:10,325 --> 00:16:12,819
"No response from the White House"?
310
00:16:12,997 --> 00:16:14,374
There's my response.
311
00:16:14,542 --> 00:16:16,537
- Plus, it's worse than we thought.
- It is.
312
00:16:16,714 --> 00:16:18,043
- Sing it, Larry.
- Ed.
313
00:16:18,217 --> 00:16:22,053
Fifteen percent cut across the board?
Cutting capital gains 50 percent?
314
00:16:22,225 --> 00:16:25,265
- They said it would cost 800 billion.
- It'll actually cost...?
315
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,269
- 1.2 trillion.
- I'm no economist, but...
316
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:30,408
No, wait, I am an economist.
So their plan'll do what, C.J.?
317
00:16:30,743 --> 00:16:32,239
- Explode...
- Explode the deficit.
318
00:16:32,413 --> 00:16:35,916
- Will it stimulate the economy, Josh?
- It'll stimulate the Swiss economy.
319
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,670
Josh gets extra credit
for being both funny and right.
320
00:16:38,843 --> 00:16:42,298
- How long do I have to stay quiet?
- You're the leader of the free world.
321
00:16:42,476 --> 00:16:44,470
- You can speak anytime.
- And not kill Sam?
322
00:16:44,647 --> 00:16:46,772
No. For that you gotta shut up
for 50 hours.
323
00:16:46,943 --> 00:16:48,985
And so I shall.
324
00:16:54,542 --> 00:16:57,036
- You wanted to see me?
- What are you doing right now?
325
00:16:57,215 --> 00:16:58,544
Remarks for the first lady.
326
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:01,093
It's for Estonian-American
Women in the Arts week.
327
00:17:01,265 --> 00:17:02,595
- Is this a joke?
- No.
328
00:17:02,768 --> 00:17:04,561
How many Estonian-American
women are in the arts?
329
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:06,310
- I don't know.
- When are you done?
330
00:17:06,484 --> 00:17:09,060
- Tonight.
- I need you the rest of the weekend.
331
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,400
- You've got a staff.
- They don't like me.
332
00:17:11,620 --> 00:17:13,614
- The Rice Krispies Treats?
- Didn't do it.
333
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:15,911
- They work for you.
- Try telling them that.
334
00:17:16,087 --> 00:17:17,916
- Have you tried telling them that?
- No.
335
00:17:18,091 --> 00:17:19,587
- Why?
- These are hardboiled men.
336
00:17:19,762 --> 00:17:23,015
Some who've known the president
since 7th grade and some of whom...
337
00:17:23,185 --> 00:17:26,309
...still write like they were there.
- And they're hardboiled?
338
00:17:26,484 --> 00:17:28,229
We took Bitanga Airport
this morning.
339
00:17:28,405 --> 00:17:31,243
- You think we don't watch the news?
- I'm just saying.
340
00:17:31,411 --> 00:17:33,655
You think the president took it
because of you?
341
00:17:33,874 --> 00:17:36,914
He hasn't taken Bitanga, just the airport.
And I'm just saying...
342
00:17:37,382 --> 00:17:39,211
...things happen fast.
- Yeah.
343
00:17:42,434 --> 00:17:43,930
- He's not...
- Nzele's demanding...
344
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:46,645
He's not in a position
to be demanding anything.
345
00:17:46,818 --> 00:17:49,490
Nonetheless, he's demanding
that American troops...
346
00:17:49,657 --> 00:17:51,818
...leave Bitanga immediately.
- And?
347
00:17:51,995 --> 00:17:55,499
And he'll continue the peace talks
among the African countries.
348
00:17:55,670 --> 00:18:00,503
- No.
- Leo, Nzele is a sadistic madman.
349
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,841
This can't possibly be argued.
350
00:18:03,018 --> 00:18:08,231
But he's not a stupid man, and he
knows where CNN is on his television.
351
00:18:08,405 --> 00:18:13,749
He's betting the first dead American
soldier on television, and you lose.
352
00:18:14,292 --> 00:18:17,499
- Our stomach for it?
- Yes.
353
00:18:17,966 --> 00:18:20,211
Thomas, Robbie...
354
00:18:20,388 --> 00:18:22,929
...you've gotta find a way
of getting word to Nzele...
355
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:26,391
...that in 23 hours
he's going to lose that bet.
356
00:18:38,927 --> 00:18:40,506
- Hi.
- Good evening.
357
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,305
- I'm Will Bailey.
- Yes, sir. We're the interns...
358
00:18:43,478 --> 00:18:45,806
...for the speechwriting staff.
- Where are they?
359
00:18:45,983 --> 00:18:47,479
- Who?
- The speechwriting staff.
360
00:18:47,695 --> 00:18:49,654
I'm not sure.
361
00:18:49,824 --> 00:18:51,404
- What's your name?
- Lauren Chin.
362
00:18:51,578 --> 00:18:53,988
Do me a favor.
Can you find out where the staff is?
363
00:18:54,209 --> 00:18:56,334
- Cassie said...
- Mr. Ziegler left a message...
364
00:18:56,505 --> 00:18:58,464
...that you should call.
- You're Cassie?
365
00:18:58,676 --> 00:19:01,965
Cassie Tatum. And this is Lauren Shelby,
Lauren Romano.
366
00:19:02,142 --> 00:19:03,852
- Three of you are named Lauren.
- Yes.
367
00:19:04,062 --> 00:19:06,556
- Lauren, Lauren, Cassie and Lauren.
- Yes, sir.
368
00:19:06,735 --> 00:19:10,273
And you don't know where the staff is,
and Toby told me to call.
369
00:19:10,451 --> 00:19:11,781
Yes.
370
00:19:11,954 --> 00:19:15,373
Okay, I'm just gonna step in this office
over here a moment.
371
00:19:19,804 --> 00:19:22,974
- You're all pretty dressed up.
- There's an intern party tonight...
372
00:19:23,144 --> 00:19:24,723
...but Mr. Ziegler said to stay.
373
00:19:25,566 --> 00:19:27,145
Doesn't sound that good, does it?
374
00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,074
- Toby, it's Will.
- Seventy-four degrees in February.
375
00:19:30,242 --> 00:19:32,866
- There's no civilization here.
- Where's the staff?
376
00:19:33,039 --> 00:19:35,580
I was starting the staff meeting
and there's no staff.
377
00:19:35,753 --> 00:19:37,998
- Yeah, I fired some of them.
- How many of them?
378
00:19:38,175 --> 00:19:40,751
- All of them.
- You fired the speechwriting staff?
379
00:19:40,931 --> 00:19:43,769
I thought about what you said,
and they have a bad attitude.
380
00:19:43,979 --> 00:19:47,102
- Also, they're bad at their jobs.
- When will we have new staff?
381
00:19:47,277 --> 00:19:48,857
Just as soon as you hire them.
382
00:19:49,031 --> 00:19:51,322
- All right, I'll get it done myself.
- You can't.
383
00:19:51,495 --> 00:19:54,618
- I can.
- You can't. That's why I left you a staff.
384
00:19:55,252 --> 00:19:57,960
- The interns?
- Tell them what you want and expect it.
385
00:19:58,133 --> 00:20:00,674
That isn't a staff.
Those are the Robert Palmer girls.
386
00:20:00,847 --> 00:20:03,555
They're bright young women.
Show some leadership skills.
387
00:20:03,728 --> 00:20:05,723
- We're here. I'll call you in a bit.
- Okay.
388
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:08,274
The staff. You didn't fire them.
They quit, right?
389
00:20:08,447 --> 00:20:09,776
- Yeah.
- Because of me, right?
390
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:13,497
- Yeah.
- Okay. Thanks.
391
00:20:16,046 --> 00:20:17,376
Hi.
392
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:32,321
- Sorry.
- Don't worry about it.
393
00:20:32,497 --> 00:20:33,993
- Hi.
- Toby.
394
00:20:34,167 --> 00:20:35,663
- Sorry.
- Don't worry about it.
395
00:20:35,837 --> 00:20:37,167
Did we do much damage?
396
00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:41,093
They got a photograph of an American
SUV with three kids in the back crying...
397
00:20:41,265 --> 00:20:44,852
...because they were stuck getting home
from Disney's California Adventure.
398
00:20:45,023 --> 00:20:48,276
I feel bad you came now. Who knew
the Republicans would announce...
399
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:50,275
...plus he must be distracted
by Kundu.
400
00:20:50,451 --> 00:20:52,529
He's fine. Mr. President.
401
00:20:52,706 --> 00:20:56,624
- Man, I'm sorry about this.
- No, sir. Thank you for coming.
402
00:20:56,797 --> 00:21:00,466
I was just saying
you must be distracted by Kundu.
403
00:21:00,639 --> 00:21:03,512
The French have denied us
access to their airspace.
404
00:21:03,687 --> 00:21:07,736
I'm not sure why they think we'd need it
to get to Africa, but what the hell.
405
00:21:07,904 --> 00:21:09,899
This weekend's all about you.
406
00:21:10,075 --> 00:21:13,115
- Get up there.
- It's Leo.
407
00:21:13,290 --> 00:21:15,499
This is gonna be about France.
408
00:21:15,670 --> 00:21:18,164
Did we accidentally trap people
in a theme park?
409
00:21:18,342 --> 00:21:19,719
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.
410
00:21:19,887 --> 00:21:21,798
Yeah.
411
00:21:21,975 --> 00:21:24,350
Thank you. Thank you very much.
412
00:21:26,484 --> 00:21:29,156
Thank you. You've heard from
a lot of people tonight...
413
00:21:29,324 --> 00:21:31,615
...and many of them were me.
414
00:21:32,831 --> 00:21:37,213
I'm happy to see that so many teachers
here tonight brought students.
415
00:21:38,885 --> 00:21:42,638
The man that I worked for
is not only a great president...
416
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:44,639
...he's an extraordinary role model.
417
00:21:44,814 --> 00:21:46,274
And someone you can honestly...
418
00:21:46,443 --> 00:21:50,231
Tell those poncy little hairdressers
I'm gonna shove a loaf of bread up their...
419
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:53,532
Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of the United States.
420
00:22:08,781 --> 00:22:10,277
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
421
00:22:10,451 --> 00:22:12,612
- These are for you.
- You want us to wear them?
422
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:14,119
It would move things along.
423
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:17,000
- You've met my sister Elsie?
- Yeah.
424
00:22:17,340 --> 00:22:20,344
Yesterday, the Republican leadership
unveiled their tax plan.
425
00:22:20,514 --> 00:22:22,639
On Monday morning,
we're gonna unveil ours...
426
00:22:22,810 --> 00:22:26,147
...which means that all public remarks
coming from the White House...
427
00:22:26,317 --> 00:22:28,692
...have to be about
the Democratic tax plan.
428
00:22:28,906 --> 00:22:31,400
So I need you all to help me
take prepared remarks...
429
00:22:31,578 --> 00:22:35,331
...say, about the canning of catfish
and make it about the tax plan.
430
00:22:35,545 --> 00:22:37,255
Number 60,
what are you writing down?
431
00:22:37,424 --> 00:22:39,799
- Canning of catfish.
- That was just an expression.
432
00:22:39,971 --> 00:22:42,381
- I never heard it.
- I never heard it either.
433
00:22:42,559 --> 00:22:45,267
I just made it up.
Twenty-one...
434
00:22:45,441 --> 00:22:48,480
...what's a capital gain?
- Anytime you invest in something...
435
00:22:48,656 --> 00:22:50,235
...and make money off it.
- Right.
436
00:22:50,409 --> 00:22:53,330
- What do Republicans want, 48?
- No taxes on capital gain.
437
00:22:53,499 --> 00:22:56,788
Right. Plus a 15 percent cut
across the board...
438
00:22:56,965 --> 00:22:59,803
...while our plan would raise taxes
one percent...
439
00:22:59,971 --> 00:23:02,096
...on the richest one percent
in the country.
440
00:23:02,267 --> 00:23:04,808
What can be said about the difference
between the two?
441
00:23:04,981 --> 00:23:07,060
They wanna lower taxes,
we wanna raise them.
442
00:23:07,236 --> 00:23:09,908
- Well, I wouldn't put it quite like that.
- You just did.
443
00:23:10,075 --> 00:23:12,403
When you write remarks
into the canning remarks...
444
00:23:12,580 --> 00:23:16,333
We're interns. Do you think we have
a clue how to write a tax-policy speech?
445
00:23:16,505 --> 00:23:19,260
I'm sure you had to write in college
in the government...
446
00:23:19,428 --> 00:23:21,922
...and poly-sci and economics classes
you took at...?
447
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:23,762
The London School of Ballet.
448
00:23:23,979 --> 00:23:27,102
- What the hell are you doing here?
- I'm changing direction.
449
00:23:30,117 --> 00:23:31,779
- Will Bailey.
- It's me.
450
00:23:31,954 --> 00:23:34,709
- What happened last night?
- We got off to a rough start.
451
00:23:34,877 --> 00:23:36,670
I'd like to talk to Scott Holcomb.
452
00:23:36,881 --> 00:23:40,218
- Don't worry about the campaign.
- He's blowing the work we did there.
453
00:23:40,388 --> 00:23:42,799
Don't worry about it.
How are the remarks coming?
454
00:23:43,436 --> 00:23:45,515
Great. These guys are pros.
455
00:23:45,691 --> 00:23:48,980
- Elsie, what are you doing?
- I'm erasing"canning of catfish."
456
00:23:49,324 --> 00:23:50,985
Okay, gotta go.
457
00:23:54,042 --> 00:23:57,830
There are some nice shots with you and
the president, but the one you'll see...
458
00:23:58,008 --> 00:24:01,132
...a lot is you kissing a liberal, pregnant,
unwed congresswoman.
459
00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:03,385
- Yeah.
- Kissing her where?
460
00:24:03,603 --> 00:24:07,273
The Journal's attacking him
for campaigning at the same time...
461
00:24:07,445 --> 00:24:08,989
...he's sending troops overseas.
462
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:12,743
What the Register and Daily Pilot
term"insulting remarks" at the school...
463
00:24:12,915 --> 00:24:14,576
...made their pullout section.
464
00:24:14,752 --> 00:24:18,754
- They mind that he insulted the French.
- Or poncy hairdressers. It's not clear.
465
00:24:18,927 --> 00:24:20,922
Yeah, but he also
mentioned vouchers.
466
00:24:21,098 --> 00:24:24,268
Closing the 5, the 405
and the 55 didn't play well.
467
00:24:24,439 --> 00:24:27,776
And since he was late he couldn't
see off troops leaving from Miramar.
468
00:24:27,946 --> 00:24:30,903
Flights out of John Wayne were
delayed, and children crying...
469
00:24:31,077 --> 00:24:34,450
...at the Pirates of the Caribbean.
And it's still 6:30 in the morning.
470
00:24:34,626 --> 00:24:37,001
So you'd rate the trip so far,
what, B, B-minus?
471
00:24:37,424 --> 00:24:39,335
C-minus?
472
00:24:39,929 --> 00:24:41,259
We'll get it together.
473
00:24:41,850 --> 00:24:45,638
I have no idea what makes me say this,
but it's good to see you.
474
00:24:45,816 --> 00:24:47,645
I have a strategy breakfast.
475
00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:49,482
- You want me to come?
- That's okay.
476
00:24:49,658 --> 00:24:51,783
- Let him come, Sam.
- Yeah, well, you know...
477
00:24:51,954 --> 00:24:55,208
...the thing is, Scott Holcomb and Josh.
- Oh, come on.
478
00:24:55,378 --> 00:24:57,373
I think Holcomb's been making
bad mistakes.
479
00:24:57,549 --> 00:24:59,674
- I think Josh has been right.
- I know he has.
480
00:24:59,846 --> 00:25:02,386
- If you think that's easy...
- He has you with business.
481
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,305
He says it's how a Democrat wins
Orange County.
482
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,226
- Has a Democrat ever won here?
- No.
483
00:25:06,401 --> 00:25:08,396
- Then how does he know?
- Okay. But he's who...
484
00:25:08,572 --> 00:25:11,576
...the National Committee wants.
That's where the money's from.
485
00:25:11,745 --> 00:25:14,999
So I have a strategy breakfast.
I'll see you all later.
486
00:25:20,597 --> 00:25:23,435
I wasn't trying to get under his skin.
On the other hand...
487
00:25:23,604 --> 00:25:26,311
...I didn't care that I had, you know?
- Yeah.
488
00:25:26,485 --> 00:25:30,189
Some polls have you within seven.
If you only lost by seven, that'd be huge.
489
00:25:30,368 --> 00:25:32,446
I don't wanna think like that yet.
490
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,584
Good.
491
00:25:37,508 --> 00:25:38,968
Okay, where are we?
492
00:25:43,771 --> 00:25:47,559
They work the land and, through intense
labor, develop pride in the property.
493
00:25:47,737 --> 00:25:51,406
Labor is intrinsically social, right?
No man can create something by himself.
494
00:25:51,579 --> 00:25:53,989
Denying migrant workers
an equal share of profits...
495
00:25:54,167 --> 00:25:56,292
- Hello.
- Let me put it this way.
496
00:25:58,677 --> 00:26:01,550
- That was weird.
- That happens to me sometimes.
497
00:26:01,725 --> 00:26:04,099
Are you a farm-labor leader
and a rock star?
498
00:26:04,313 --> 00:26:06,890
No. But my point was
we have no way of determining...
499
00:26:07,069 --> 00:26:10,572
...whether 12 hours under the sun
picking grapes is worth less or more...
500
00:26:10,743 --> 00:26:13,914
...than 9 to 5 in an office.
- True. True.
501
00:26:14,084 --> 00:26:16,245
- But let me ask you this, lvan.
- Yes.
502
00:26:16,422 --> 00:26:18,880
What do you think of Richard Sutter?
503
00:26:19,345 --> 00:26:20,675
I'm sorry?
504
00:26:20,848 --> 00:26:23,258
Richard Sutter.
I was wondering what your opinion...
505
00:26:23,437 --> 00:26:26,144
He's the enemy is what he is.
Simply put, he's the enemy.
506
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:28,478
- This assemblyman led the charge...
- Excellent.
507
00:26:28,698 --> 00:26:30,241
- I'm...? I'm sorry?
- He was.
508
00:26:30,409 --> 00:26:34,114
And I think your views are valuable.
I'll try to get you in to see Josh.
509
00:26:34,334 --> 00:26:37,292
- That's wonderful. Thank you.
- Good meeting you.
510
00:26:38,677 --> 00:26:40,007
- Donna!
- Hi.
511
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:43,635
Hey, everyone, this is one of my
best friends. This is Donna Moss.
512
00:26:43,812 --> 00:26:46,057
I didn't see you much last night.
How are you?
513
00:26:46,234 --> 00:26:48,229
Everyone feels really bad
about the start.
514
00:26:48,405 --> 00:26:50,566
Don't worry about it.
Where you coming from?
515
00:26:50,744 --> 00:26:52,405
Five minutes with an lvan Perez...
516
00:26:52,581 --> 00:26:55,288
...from the California Agricultural
Laborers Association.
517
00:26:55,462 --> 00:26:57,836
- Josh wanted me to find out if he's legit.
- Is he?
518
00:26:58,009 --> 00:27:00,585
- I think.
- Anyone ever heard of lvan Perez?
519
00:27:00,764 --> 00:27:02,141
- The farm guy?
- Yeah.
520
00:27:02,309 --> 00:27:04,138
- Izzy Perez?
- Donna just met with him.
521
00:27:04,313 --> 00:27:05,975
He ran for governor of California.
522
00:27:06,151 --> 00:27:07,480
- What party?
- Communist.
523
00:27:08,071 --> 00:27:09,698
- The Communist party?
- Yeah.
524
00:27:09,867 --> 00:27:11,945
He's a communist?
I thought he was a farmer.
525
00:27:12,163 --> 00:27:13,873
- They're all farmers.
- Take it easy.
526
00:27:14,084 --> 00:27:16,079
- Did anybody see you having coffee?
- Yeah.
527
00:27:16,255 --> 00:27:17,585
- Who?
- A photographer.
528
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,009
- My God.
- Honest to God, how stupid can you be?
529
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,557
Hey!
530
00:27:21,767 --> 00:27:24,011
- Out of here. You're fired.
- I need him.
531
00:27:24,188 --> 00:27:27,395
- I don't care. He's out of here.
- You're gonna get creamed.
532
00:27:27,612 --> 00:27:29,024
Like I'm not used to that.
533
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,554
- Excuse me, Leo?
- Hey, how's it going?
534
00:27:40,723 --> 00:27:42,053
Fine.
535
00:27:42,226 --> 00:27:44,802
- I heard your staff quit.
- Yes. Yes, they did.
536
00:27:44,982 --> 00:27:47,654
- Because we promoted you to deputy?
- It would appear so.
537
00:27:47,821 --> 00:27:49,233
Well, that's a little small.
538
00:27:49,407 --> 00:27:52,745
Whatever. Is there anyone around
with speechwriting experience...
539
00:27:52,915 --> 00:27:55,290
...I could borrow for a day or two?
- On Saturday?
540
00:27:55,462 --> 00:27:56,792
- Bad day?
- Not ordinarily...
541
00:27:56,965 --> 00:27:59,256
...but a lot of people
made the California trip.
542
00:27:59,428 --> 00:28:01,756
The Treasury Secretary's staff
is in the Midwest.
543
00:28:01,934 --> 00:28:03,263
No problem.
544
00:28:03,437 --> 00:28:05,681
Is there anything I can do for you?
545
00:28:05,858 --> 00:28:08,103
- For me?
- With regard to what's happening now.
546
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,487
- I feel a little responsible.
- You are.
547
00:28:11,996 --> 00:28:14,917
- You need me to prepare remarks at all?
- I hope not.
548
00:28:27,863 --> 00:28:29,358
When was the last fly-over?
549
00:28:29,533 --> 00:28:31,777
A Super Hornet did a pass
in the last hour.
550
00:28:31,954 --> 00:28:35,541
Are we seeing any pictures of the Arkutu
getting ready to surrender?
551
00:28:35,712 --> 00:28:37,042
No.
552
00:28:37,215 --> 00:28:39,127
Here's what we're seeing.
553
00:28:39,303 --> 00:28:44,184
These are 3200 Induye being marched
down a road toward Musato.
554
00:28:44,355 --> 00:28:46,896
These are cranes
and bulldozers at work.
555
00:28:47,069 --> 00:28:51,285
And twice as many smokestacks
burning as of an hour ago.
556
00:28:51,453 --> 00:28:52,914
So this...
557
00:28:53,082 --> 00:28:57,464
...is the mass gravesite that
the 3200 Induye are being marched to.
558
00:28:57,675 --> 00:29:01,178
How many more in the next 20 hours?
559
00:29:01,808 --> 00:29:04,017
We think about 20,000.
560
00:29:04,188 --> 00:29:06,813
So why not talk about blowing off
the deadline?
561
00:29:06,986 --> 00:29:11,154
Because we'd need 55 more aircraft off
the USS Colonnade and Third Infantry.
562
00:29:11,328 --> 00:29:15,282
He's trying to finish the job
before the deadline.
563
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:17,924
Yes.
564
00:29:35,253 --> 00:29:37,663
Is the president monitoring
the situation in Kundu?
565
00:29:37,842 --> 00:29:39,671
Sure. He's getting continuous updates.
566
00:29:39,846 --> 00:29:42,554
He also spoke by phone
with the U.N. secretary general...
567
00:29:42,727 --> 00:29:46,266
...and the leadership of the World Bank
and the IMF to begin discussing...
568
00:29:46,443 --> 00:29:49,019
...rebuilding packages
after the Arkutu step down.
569
00:29:49,199 --> 00:29:50,695
What about the rest of the day?
570
00:29:50,869 --> 00:29:53,363
He'll have a conference call
with his economic team.
571
00:29:53,541 --> 00:29:56,664
- About the Democratic response?
- The tax plan isn't a response...
572
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,416
...to the Republicans.
It's a tax plan. And yes.
573
00:29:59,595 --> 00:30:01,507
Any California issues on the schedule?
574
00:30:01,683 --> 00:30:04,687
A series of meetings.
The California leadership of the F.O. P...
575
00:30:04,856 --> 00:30:07,350
...and the governor and
State Assembly Leadership...
576
00:30:07,529 --> 00:30:10,236
...on matching payments,
then on to the fundraiser. Mark.
577
00:30:10,410 --> 00:30:14,198
- Speaking of California politics...
- Was a White House aide sent to meet...
578
00:30:14,376 --> 00:30:16,668
...the Communist party's
candidate for governor?
579
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,170
- Yeah.
- No.
580
00:30:18,343 --> 00:30:20,172
Donna Moss was sent
to meet the head...
581
00:30:20,347 --> 00:30:23,055
...of the California Agricultural
Laborers Association...
582
00:30:23,228 --> 00:30:25,804
...a man named lvan Perez,
who, it turns out...
583
00:30:26,026 --> 00:30:28,650
...has some loose ties
to the American Communist Party.
584
00:30:28,823 --> 00:30:31,067
- He's their standard-bearer.
- Like that one.
585
00:30:31,245 --> 00:30:34,783
Mr. Perez was heard, as he certainly has
a right to be, and that's that.
586
00:30:34,961 --> 00:30:38,215
How do you think the picture of them
will play in Orange County?
587
00:30:38,510 --> 00:30:41,384
Really, really well.
I'll talk to you before the dinner.
588
00:30:41,558 --> 00:30:43,268
- Thank you.
- Thank you, C.J.
589
00:30:43,437 --> 00:30:46,976
"Nothing is more important than teaching
our children well." This is good.
590
00:30:47,153 --> 00:30:49,148
These are remarks prepared
by Number 48...
591
00:30:49,324 --> 00:30:52,863
...for the undersecretary of education
at the A.F.T. leadership breakfast.
592
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,370
Very good start.
593
00:30:54,543 --> 00:30:58,497
"Nothing is more important than teaching
children well, grounding them in basics.
594
00:30:58,677 --> 00:31:00,719
While we're at it,
we should teach them...
595
00:31:00,932 --> 00:31:03,805
...that the Republican tax plan
is a job killer."
596
00:31:03,980 --> 00:31:07,732
- I don't think this will work, do you?
- You gotta give us points for candor.
597
00:31:07,905 --> 00:31:10,030
- Number 24...
- Cassie.
598
00:31:10,201 --> 00:31:13,158
...in remarks to the National
Headache Foundation, said...
599
00:31:13,333 --> 00:31:16,337
Is there a National Headache
Foundation, or is it made-up...
600
00:31:16,548 --> 00:31:18,875
...like the London School of Ballet?
- Yeah.
601
00:31:19,053 --> 00:31:21,891
I was an American Studies major
at the University of Texas.
602
00:31:22,059 --> 00:31:25,099
I know that. You don't think
I know how to retrieve information.
603
00:31:25,274 --> 00:31:27,067
What were you doing looking me up?
604
00:31:27,237 --> 00:31:30,906
What was I doing? My job, okay?
That's what I was doing.
605
00:31:31,078 --> 00:31:32,622
Phone's for you.
606
00:31:32,790 --> 00:31:34,749
Thank God, huh?
607
00:31:35,587 --> 00:31:37,629
- Will Bailey.
- How's it going?
608
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,387
Why would Holcomb book Sam in the
Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce?
609
00:31:41,558 --> 00:31:43,434
Did I say to worry
about the speeches...
610
00:31:43,604 --> 00:31:45,765
...or did I say to worry
about Sam's campaign?
611
00:31:45,942 --> 00:31:48,483
I worry about his campaign
without anyone telling me.
612
00:31:48,698 --> 00:31:52,201
Read me what you've got for
the swearing in of the ambassador.
613
00:31:52,372 --> 00:31:56,457
"Ambassador Stanis will help to build
and sustain a new era of cooperation...
614
00:31:56,631 --> 00:31:58,542
...between the United States
and Hungary.
615
00:31:58,719 --> 00:32:02,590
And let's please all remember that
cutting capital-gains taxes is a bad idea."
616
00:32:04,063 --> 00:32:07,067
- Okay, you're gonna polish that up?
- Yeah.
617
00:32:09,282 --> 00:32:11,194
Who will pay in the tax plan
you propose?
618
00:32:11,370 --> 00:32:13,199
- The president.
- I don't understand.
619
00:32:13,374 --> 00:32:15,785
The president's proposing
the tax plan, not me.
620
00:32:15,963 --> 00:32:17,293
Who will pay?
621
00:32:17,466 --> 00:32:21,171
The plan raises taxes on the richest
one percent in the U.S. by one percent...
622
00:32:21,349 --> 00:32:24,389
...to let college tuition be fully
tax-deductible for anyone...
623
00:32:24,564 --> 00:32:26,226
...making under $80,000 a year...
624
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:29,739
...and incrementally tax-deductible
after that. Does that make sense?
625
00:32:29,909 --> 00:32:33,364
- No, because it is ridiculous.
- Because you're in the one percent.
626
00:32:33,541 --> 00:32:36,629
No, I don't think taxes are too high.
I think they are too low.
627
00:32:36,798 --> 00:32:39,921
- You see, you don't know me.
- Yeah.
628
00:32:40,097 --> 00:32:42,008
Speaking of people
getting to know you...
629
00:32:42,184 --> 00:32:44,476
...you and Zoey went
to runway shows in Paris...
630
00:32:44,648 --> 00:32:46,857
...and there were an awful lot
of pictures.
631
00:32:47,028 --> 00:32:49,522
- That is avoidable?
- It's not completely avoidable...
632
00:32:49,700 --> 00:32:53,536
...but it's a little avoidable. And you
should try because it's a security risk.
633
00:32:53,708 --> 00:32:55,038
- Why?
- Because of details...
634
00:32:55,212 --> 00:32:57,253
...crazy people pick out
of photographs.
635
00:32:57,425 --> 00:33:00,928
You can make the scene without making
a scene, you know what I'm saying?
636
00:33:01,725 --> 00:33:05,228
- I took Zoey home to meet my parents.
- They weren't at the Versace show.
637
00:33:05,399 --> 00:33:07,940
She's a sexy girl.
She likes having her picture taken.
638
00:33:08,113 --> 00:33:10,572
She doesn't like
having her picture taken.
639
00:33:11,871 --> 00:33:13,783
She doesn't mind having it taken
with me.
640
00:33:15,838 --> 00:33:17,417
Hi.
641
00:33:18,802 --> 00:33:21,842
We were talking about taxes,
of all things.
642
00:33:29,617 --> 00:33:31,695
Well, I've gotta get to Sam's rally.
643
00:33:31,871 --> 00:33:33,284
We're right behind you.
644
00:33:36,715 --> 00:33:38,710
You and Josh should
take over the campaign.
645
00:33:38,886 --> 00:33:40,465
- We've asked.
- Just the last week.
646
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,969
We've asked.
647
00:33:42,143 --> 00:33:46,691
We said we'd go off White House
payroll. I had to bungee Will to his desk.
648
00:33:46,861 --> 00:33:48,571
Until a higher authority steps in...
649
00:33:48,740 --> 00:33:51,068
...the DNC wants Holcomb.
- When they have him...
650
00:33:51,287 --> 00:33:53,116
...in community centers...
- I know.
651
00:33:53,291 --> 00:33:57,293
...it's like he's wearing his dad's old suit.
He's got youth and vitality, he should...
652
00:33:57,466 --> 00:34:00,091
- I know.
- Communists look exactly...
653
00:34:00,264 --> 00:34:02,555
...like non-communists.
- Tell me about it.
654
00:34:02,727 --> 00:34:06,016
Miss Wyatt, those kids you've got
in there deserve a father.
655
00:34:06,777 --> 00:34:10,364
- I'm sorry, you talking to me?
- Yes, I was.
656
00:34:10,535 --> 00:34:12,245
- That's all.
- They've got a father.
657
00:34:12,414 --> 00:34:14,705
And it's Congresswoman Wyatt,
not"Miss."
658
00:34:16,965 --> 00:34:19,376
- Whatever you say.
- Damn right, whatever I say.
659
00:34:21,809 --> 00:34:24,100
You may not realize it...
660
00:34:25,233 --> 00:34:26,942
...but you're an example to women...
661
00:34:27,153 --> 00:34:31,072
...and there's something to be said
for acting like it.
662
00:34:31,663 --> 00:34:33,123
- Well, I believe I do.
- You do.
663
00:34:33,291 --> 00:34:34,953
Sir, you are way out of line...
664
00:34:35,128 --> 00:34:37,752
...and we're having a private
conversation, but thank...
665
00:34:37,926 --> 00:34:41,096
No, it's not private
when you're an elected official.
666
00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:44,555
Well, I appreciate you reminding me
of my sworn duty.
667
00:34:44,773 --> 00:34:47,065
- If it's fine with you...
- It's not fine with me.
668
00:34:47,237 --> 00:34:49,397
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- You should be sorry.
669
00:34:49,575 --> 00:34:52,069
- You're standing too close to her.
- It's the father.
670
00:34:52,247 --> 00:34:53,957
Yeah. And you're standing too close.
671
00:34:54,126 --> 00:34:57,962
So if you're gonna insist on being drunk
and minding other people's business...
672
00:34:58,134 --> 00:35:01,472
...you gotta take a step back, because
as you are apparently aware...
673
00:35:01,642 --> 00:35:04,812
...the congresswoman is pregnant.
- Is there a problem, Toby?
674
00:35:05,024 --> 00:35:07,518
This is the one who was
with the daughter.
675
00:35:10,911 --> 00:35:14,616
Five hundred million dollars
in undirected aid.
676
00:35:14,794 --> 00:35:17,122
Assurance that he stays in power.
677
00:35:17,299 --> 00:35:21,348
A guarantee that he and his top aides
will receive immunity...
678
00:35:21,558 --> 00:35:24,017
...from prosecution for war crimes.
679
00:35:24,189 --> 00:35:27,478
He's killed 115,000 people
and he wants to stay in power...
680
00:35:27,654 --> 00:35:30,528
...get immunity and cash a check
for half a billion dollars?
681
00:35:30,744 --> 00:35:32,074
Yes.
682
00:35:32,247 --> 00:35:34,575
- Yeah.
- Excuse me.
683
00:35:34,752 --> 00:35:36,296
Excuse me, Mr. Ambassador.
684
00:35:43,437 --> 00:35:45,765
Get me Fitzwallace
and then get me the president.
685
00:35:49,492 --> 00:35:53,624
Don't come here. Turn around, go to
the event. We're fine. C.J., we're fine.
686
00:35:53,792 --> 00:35:57,331
And tell Andy not to come here. We'll
meet her there soon as we're done.
687
00:35:57,508 --> 00:35:58,838
Excuse me, officer.
688
00:35:59,011 --> 00:36:02,016
Ballpark, how long do you think
this is gonna be?
689
00:36:02,185 --> 00:36:04,892
- Assault? Six to 20 months.
- It wasn't assault.
690
00:36:05,066 --> 00:36:07,440
- He slipped.
- Yeah? One of them says you hit him.
691
00:36:07,613 --> 00:36:09,654
That's different.
That part may be assault.
692
00:36:09,826 --> 00:36:12,366
Tell him to hit hard on quality,
healthcare quality.
693
00:36:12,540 --> 00:36:15,116
- And in his acknowledgments he must...
- Okay.
694
00:36:15,295 --> 00:36:18,632
One second. In his acknowledgments
he's gotta mention the AFL folk.
695
00:36:18,803 --> 00:36:21,557
The president's working
the rope line for 15.
696
00:36:21,725 --> 00:36:23,851
- No.
- No. Charlie says no on the rope line.
697
00:36:24,022 --> 00:36:26,942
- Hey! Give me the phone.
- Call the NEC and get a one-pager...
698
00:36:27,112 --> 00:36:29,605
...on trucking faxed to my cell, I'd...
- Now!
699
00:36:29,784 --> 00:36:31,529
Okay. I gotta go.
700
00:36:31,705 --> 00:36:34,079
- I'm under arrest.
- He won't know the names...
701
00:36:34,251 --> 00:36:37,125
...of the people he's meeting.
- Does he ever know them?
702
00:36:37,299 --> 00:36:39,710
Okay, over here.
Give me your left thumb.
703
00:36:41,934 --> 00:36:44,724
Is there any chance
I could get a corner cell?
704
00:36:44,899 --> 00:36:46,858
Or anything, possibly,
with a loft space?
705
00:36:47,028 --> 00:36:49,818
- There's solitary.
- Perfect.
706
00:36:51,162 --> 00:36:52,492
Sam.
707
00:36:52,665 --> 00:36:54,244
I got salsa on my shirt.
708
00:36:54,419 --> 00:36:56,829
- We got a new shirt?
- Yeah, they got it.
709
00:36:57,007 --> 00:36:58,967
Can I have the room, please?
710
00:37:01,099 --> 00:37:02,429
What's going on?
711
00:37:06,527 --> 00:37:08,106
I'm gonna propose something bold.
712
00:37:08,281 --> 00:37:10,490
- I like bold.
- The White House will announce...
713
00:37:10,661 --> 00:37:13,035
...their answer to
the Republican tax plan Monday.
714
00:37:13,208 --> 00:37:17,292
It's a one percent hike on the wealthiest
one percent, which would pay for...
715
00:37:17,467 --> 00:37:19,592
- Tax-deductible tuition.
- Right.
716
00:37:19,763 --> 00:37:22,339
- Come out against it tonight.
- Why?
717
00:37:22,519 --> 00:37:24,514
To show you're not owned
by the West Wing.
718
00:37:24,690 --> 00:37:26,519
And many of the one percent live here.
719
00:37:27,070 --> 00:37:28,732
- I worked on it.
- On what?
720
00:37:28,907 --> 00:37:32,446
- Tax-deductible tuition. I worked on it.
- You did what the president said.
721
00:37:32,623 --> 00:37:35,627
And the president was doing
what I helped advise him to do.
722
00:37:35,796 --> 00:37:39,335
- It doesn't matter. What I'm saying is...
- Wait a second.
723
00:37:39,805 --> 00:37:41,847
- They're announcing on Monday?
- Yeah.
724
00:37:42,018 --> 00:37:44,511
- How do you know?
- I know.
725
00:37:44,690 --> 00:37:46,768
- And it's been scored? Fully scored?
- Yeah.
726
00:37:47,613 --> 00:37:49,773
Well, why the hell would...?
727
00:37:52,206 --> 00:37:53,915
Excuse me.
728
00:37:56,882 --> 00:37:58,841
Thank you.
Mr. President?
729
00:37:59,011 --> 00:38:00,887
- Mrs. Hottentot?
- Toby and Charlie...
730
00:38:01,057 --> 00:38:02,767
- Where are they?
- They're being held.
731
00:38:02,936 --> 00:38:05,228
- What do you mean?
- They are under arrest.
732
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,024
- There was an incident at a bar.
- They're under arrest?
733
00:38:08,197 --> 00:38:10,323
- Yes, sir.
- Did they rob the bar?
734
00:38:10,494 --> 00:38:11,824
No, sir.
735
00:38:11,997 --> 00:38:14,158
A patron was jostling
Congresswoman Wyatt...
736
00:38:14,335 --> 00:38:18,123
...and Toby tried to get him to step
back, and the man slipped on the floor.
737
00:38:18,302 --> 00:38:20,842
And then the man's friend
lunged for Toby.
738
00:38:21,016 --> 00:38:22,346
And what did Charlie do?
739
00:38:22,644 --> 00:38:24,188
- He hit him.
- Sir.
740
00:38:24,356 --> 00:38:26,565
Toby and Charlie were arrested
in a bar fight.
741
00:38:26,736 --> 00:38:28,731
It won't be a problem.
C.J. 's handling it.
742
00:38:28,907 --> 00:38:30,783
- Really?
- It'll be a little problem.
743
00:38:30,953 --> 00:38:34,540
Every time we come to Southern
California, we are the Clampetts.
744
00:38:34,711 --> 00:38:37,335
He booked him at the Newport Beach
Chamber of Commerce.
745
00:38:37,508 --> 00:38:40,049
He had him skip a union lunch
with hotel employees...
746
00:38:40,222 --> 00:38:42,550
- I can't...
- He wants him speaking at Cal Lutheran.
747
00:38:42,728 --> 00:38:46,065
Scott Holcomb's given up on Sam,
and he's running his own agenda.
748
00:38:46,235 --> 00:38:48,230
I can't leave
with the tax proposal coming.
749
00:38:48,406 --> 00:38:49,950
But Toby says he can for a week.
750
00:38:50,118 --> 00:38:54,167
Will's put together a topflight staff
that can handle the paper for a week.
751
00:38:54,335 --> 00:38:58,004
I suppose it's worth noting that Toby
probably can't leave the state anyway.
752
00:38:58,176 --> 00:38:59,756
Now, as the leader of this party...
753
00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:04,644
You don't shake up a campaign like this
at this point in the election calendar.
754
00:39:04,815 --> 00:39:08,318
At this point in the election calendar,
look where his numbers are going.
755
00:39:08,490 --> 00:39:11,066
I'm amazed he's kept a veneer
of sanity, much less...
756
00:39:11,245 --> 00:39:12,955
Are you crazy?
757
00:39:13,124 --> 00:39:14,751
We were just...
758
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,297
Have you all lost your minds?
759
00:39:16,465 --> 00:39:18,875
- C.J., maybe...
- I just assumed it wasn't ready yet.
760
00:39:19,053 --> 00:39:21,262
- It's ready now, isn't it?
- Yeah.
761
00:39:21,433 --> 00:39:24,272
You're missing news cycle
after news cycle after news cycle.
762
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,112
You didn't announce because you
didn't wanna do it here.
763
00:39:27,279 --> 00:39:30,402
- Would you?
- Yes! I say the hell with the election.
764
00:39:30,577 --> 00:39:34,246
There's a guy making $55,000 a year
trying to send his kid to Notre Dame!
765
00:39:34,419 --> 00:39:37,126
Guys, we've gotta keep
our voices down a little.
766
00:39:37,300 --> 00:39:39,259
Sam, it's time.
767
00:39:39,930 --> 00:39:42,602
Without further ado,
I wanna welcome...
768
00:39:42,769 --> 00:39:45,263
If I'm gonna lose,
I'd like to lose doing something.
769
00:39:45,442 --> 00:39:48,612
So here he is,
the next U.S. representative...
770
00:39:48,782 --> 00:39:52,155
... from the California 47th
Congressional District.
771
00:40:00,765 --> 00:40:02,095
Thank you.
772
00:40:02,602 --> 00:40:04,811
Thank you very much.
773
00:40:04,982 --> 00:40:07,274
The president of the United States
is backstage.
774
00:40:07,446 --> 00:40:09,322
He'll be out here in a minute.
775
00:40:12,373 --> 00:40:14,534
He'll be out in a minute because,
of course...
776
00:40:14,711 --> 00:40:16,955
...he's monitoring our troops in Kundu.
777
00:40:18,552 --> 00:40:23,469
But I wanted to say that yesterday
the Republicans rolled out their tax plan.
778
00:40:24,398 --> 00:40:29,611
Do not let this president off this stage
until he's told you his.
779
00:40:29,826 --> 00:40:34,540
Send me to congress,
and mine will be the first yea vote cast.
780
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,506
He didn't just say that.
He did not just say that.
781
00:40:40,223 --> 00:40:42,550
- Scott.
- Yes, sir.
782
00:40:42,728 --> 00:40:45,138
Why are you putting Sam
next to business?
783
00:40:45,358 --> 00:40:47,816
- Sir...
- No, I'm just curious.
784
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,992
You read numbers as well as anyone, sir.
Webb'll win here. That's no surprise.
785
00:40:52,206 --> 00:40:54,284
- So why burn the DNC's bridges...?
- Josh.
786
00:40:54,461 --> 00:40:55,790
Yes, sir.
787
00:40:55,964 --> 00:40:58,636
Tell Toby to take over the campaign.
788
00:41:02,853 --> 00:41:04,931
You're gonna get creamed.
789
00:41:06,569 --> 00:41:08,480
- Excuse me, ma'am?
- Yes.
790
00:41:08,657 --> 00:41:11,412
- Mr. McGarry.
- Thank you.
791
00:41:12,832 --> 00:41:15,408
- Sir.
- Yeah.
792
00:41:15,588 --> 00:41:18,426
Leo, I just fired Scott Holcomb.
793
00:41:18,594 --> 00:41:21,883
Toby, who, with Charlie, is meeting with
a bail bondsman right now...
794
00:41:22,060 --> 00:41:24,470
...has to come off the payroll
for a week.
795
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:27,855
- Sir, I'm afraid something's happened.
- What?
796
00:41:28,031 --> 00:41:31,368
Two Marine lance corporals
and a PFC have been taken.
797
00:41:31,955 --> 00:41:33,665
What do you mean
they've been taken?
798
00:41:33,834 --> 00:41:37,289
Patrolling Bitanga Airport in a humvee,
50 guys came out of nowhere.
799
00:41:37,467 --> 00:41:40,471
- We secured the airport.
- They came out of nowhere.
800
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,264
- What are we doing?
- Special Ops wants to brief you...
801
00:41:43,438 --> 00:41:45,183
...on some rescue scenarios.
802
00:41:46,569 --> 00:41:49,526
- We're coming home.
- Nzele says for immunity...
803
00:41:49,701 --> 00:41:52,990
...and $500 million,
he'll keep them alive.
804
00:41:53,918 --> 00:41:58,050
Tell Ghana to tell Nzele he's got nine
hours and 20 minutes before I take him.
805
00:41:58,218 --> 00:41:59,548
Yes, sir.
806
00:41:59,722 --> 00:42:01,515
- He's about to introduce you.
- Thanks.
807
00:42:01,684 --> 00:42:05,187
This district needs a congressman
who will work with President Bartlet...
808
00:42:05,358 --> 00:42:06,902
... for the right kind of change.
809
00:42:07,070 --> 00:42:10,573
A congressman who 'll reach across
the aisle and make a real difference...
810
00:42:10,745 --> 00:42:12,870
... for Orange County's families.
811
00:42:15,463 --> 00:42:17,956
- And if you send me to congress...
- Lieutenant.
812
00:42:18,511 --> 00:42:21,135
- Yes, sir.
- How old are you?
813
00:42:21,809 --> 00:42:24,434
I'm 22 years old, sir.
814
00:42:24,649 --> 00:42:28,271
And so, friends,
the president of the United States.
815
00:42:29,826 --> 00:42:32,117
Okay, let's go.
816
00:42:33,305 --> 00:42:39,545
