1. Previously on The West Wing:Copy !req
2. So what's your problem?Copy !req
3. He did everything right.Copy !req
4. He did everything you doCopy !req
5. if your intent
is to perpetrate a fraud.Copy !req
6. We want to see some polling.Copy !req
7. Why?Copy !req
8. We need to know what to do next.Copy !req
9. What kind of questions
could they ask that won'tCopy !req
10. trip an alarm?
Josh trusts Joey Lucas.Copy !req
11. We need you
to put a poll
in the fieldCopy !req
12. without asking the questions
we can't ask.Copy !req
13. I was almost sure I saw youCopy !req
14. give the President
an injection of something.Copy !req
15. It was Betaseron.Copy !req
16. It reduces the frequency
of the attacks.Copy !req
17. Tobacco has spent $380 million
to the government's 36...Copy !req
18. "They perpetrated a fraud
against the public."Copy !req
19. They want to get these people.Copy !req
20. We're not big tobacco.Copy !req
21. Eagle's moving.Copy !req
22. He talked to her on the phone?Copy !req
23. He talked to her
at the airport.Copy !req
24. But he called her
on the phone?Copy !req
25. To get her to
the airport.Copy !req
26. Yeah, but I'm saying,
did she hang up the phoneCopy !req
27. turn to her
friends and sayCopy !req
28. "You're never going
to believe why I'm
getting on a plane"?Copy !req
29. He told her she
was coming outCopy !req
30. to do some polling on
subsurface agriculture.Copy !req
31. What the hell is that?Copy !req
32. It's vegetables
that grow underground.Copy !req
33. He told her she
was coming out hereCopy !req
34. to find out if Americans
are eating more beets.Copy !req
35. Is this a joke?Copy !req
36. It was Josh,
Mr. President.Copy !req
37. It was a job
done well.Copy !req
38. You want to startCopy !req
39. not trusting Josh?Copy !req
40. Let's go.Copy !req
41. Where are we going?Copy !req
42. The basement.
Why?Copy !req
43. 'Cause I don't like
the way it looksCopy !req
44. the seven of us meeting
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
45. You like the way
it looks if we're
meeting in the basement?Copy !req
46. Let's go.Copy !req
47. These numbers
are going to be meaningless.Copy !req
48. Yeah.Copy !req
49. A Governor
from an industrial state...Copy !req
50. It's posed
as a hypotheticalCopy !req
51. before people have
any education on...Copy !req
52. Yeah.Copy !req
53. Plus, there's no way
to factor existing
approval numbersCopy !req
54. particularly when it comes
to matters of trust.Copy !req
55. Sagittarius.Copy !req
56. Are they on their way?Copy !req
57. Yeah.Copy !req
58. They're on
their way?Copy !req
59. Yeah.Copy !req
60. Joey, your flight
was all right?Copy !req
61. Your flight, uhCopy !req
62. was all okay?Copy !req
63. These numbers
aren't goingCopy !req
64. to mean anything, right?Copy !req
65. With the hypothetical
and lack of context?Copy !req
66. Plus the preexisting
level of trust...Copy !req
67. Yeah.Copy !req
68. I'm saying he's gotCopy !req
69. numbers like Walter Cronkite.Copy !req
70. Yeah.Copy !req
71. Is there anything in there
that we're going to like?Copy !req
72. We are, in fact,
eating more beets.Copy !req
73. Okay.Copy !req
74. Good evening.Copy !req
75. Mr. President,
you remember Joey Lucas?Copy !req
76. Yeah.Copy !req
77. And her interpreter,
Kenny.Copy !req
78. Joey, did you make
photocopies of that?Copy !req
79. No, sir.Copy !req
80. Good. Let's get started.Copy !req
81. Mr. PresidentCopy !req
82. I polled 1,170Copy !req
83. registered voters
in MichiganCopy !req
84. giving their Governor
a hypothetical concealed...Copy !req
85. Excuse me.Copy !req
86. How many people in this room
know Kenny's last name?Copy !req
87. It's fine.Copy !req
88. I believe this operation
is no longer covert.Copy !req
89. Mr. President, Kenny's been
with me for 11 years.Copy !req
90. To trust me is to trust him.Copy !req
91. Josh?Copy !req
92. Yeah.Copy !req
93. Go ahead.Copy !req
94. 1,170 registered votersCopy !req
95. in Michigan
were polledCopy !req
96. giving their
GovernorCopy !req
97. a hypothetical,
concealedCopy !req
98. degenerative
illness.Copy !req
99. These are
the results.Copy !req
100. "Do you agree
that it's okayCopy !req
101. for the Governor to lie
about his health?"Copy !req
102. 17% agree, 83% disagree.Copy !req
103. "Would you be as likely
or less likelyCopy !req
104. "to vote for
the GovernorCopy !req
105. now that you know he has
a degenerative illness?"Copy !req
106. 71% say less likely.Copy !req
107. The largest bloc
of likely votersCopy !req
108. are women over 55.Copy !req
109. 78% of those women sayCopy !req
110. they wouldn't vote
for a candidate with MS.Copy !req
111. We just lost Florida.Copy !req
112. This may be the worst stat, sir.Copy !req
113. 74% believe MS to be fatal.Copy !req
114. They may be right.Copy !req
115. 62% of Democrats aren'tCopy !req
116. going to vote for you.Copy !req
117. 65% of thoseCopy !req
118. describing themselves as liberalCopy !req
119. aren't going to vote for youCopy !req
120. because you lied.Copy !req
121. Joey, is there any good news
in there at all?Copy !req
122. No, sir.Copy !req
123. The UN
Observer Group.Copy !req
124. Which consists of...?Copy !req
125. 400 technical advisors
and observersCopy !req
126. and 65 unarmed
security specialists.Copy !req
127. And the OAS?Copy !req
128. They've got about
200 observers.Copy !req
129. What happened last night?Copy !req
130. Citing improper permitsCopy !req
131. Colonel Bazan's soldiers
surrounded Carrefour Liberte...Copy !req
132. Liberty Square.Copy !req
133. Yeah.
to preventCopy !req
134. a victory rally
by supporters of Dessaline.Copy !req
135. Some of the crowd refused to
disperse and shots were fired.Copy !req
136. Anybody killed?Copy !req
137. Two people.Copy !req
138. Additionally, Rene DucasseCopy !req
139. the newly designated Minister
of Justice, was arrestedCopy !req
140. and soldiers have surrounded
the house of the Chief Justice.Copy !req
141. They're saying to protect him
from death threats.Copy !req
142. Our intelligence says
he's under house arrest.Copy !req
143. Most troubling are personnel
carriers with Haitian troopsCopy !req
144. parked in front of virtually
every police stationCopy !req
145. in Port-au-Prince.Copy !req
146. This is a sign
that the armyCopy !req
147. plans to take powerCopy !req
148. from the Gendarme
Nationale.Copy !req
149. Where's the President-elect?Copy !req
150. Sir, we can't
find him.Copy !req
151. I'm sorry?Copy !req
152. At this momentCopy !req
153. we can't find Dessaline.Copy !req
154. And that's not
the most troubling...?Copy !req
155. Jake, what the hell
do you mean you can't...?Copy !req
156. He never showed up
for a 4:00 p.m.Copy !req
157. courtesy conference
with Gilbert TassCopy !req
158. and calls made
to the party headquartersCopy !req
159. and both of his houses
went unanswered.Copy !req
160. Armed forces radio says
he's fled the countryCopy !req
161. but the Dominicans say no.Copy !req
162. What about intelligence?Copy !req
163. It's not like we
can just call around.Copy !req
164. It's chaos down there.Copy !req
165. Nobody knows anything.Copy !req
166. Leo?Copy !req
167. Let's evacuate
the nonessential personnelCopy !req
168. from the embassy.Copy !req
169. Mr. PresidentCopy !req
170. any move
to evacuate the embassyCopy !req
171. even the nonessentials,
will be a highly visible signalCopy !req
172. that the U.S. has no confidence
in the Dessaline government.Copy !req
173. At the moment, there is
no Dessaline government.Copy !req
174. There is no Dessaline.Copy !req
175. And I just got doneCopy !req
176. pulling nine dead bodies
out of Colombia.Copy !req
177. Evacuate the
nonessentialsCopy !req
178. get some Marines
at the embassyCopy !req
179. and somebody brief Fitzwallace.Copy !req
180. Yes, sir.Copy !req
181. Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
182. Sagittarius.Copy !req
183. Why not a
presidential address?Copy !req
184. Ten, 15 minutes.Copy !req
185. "I have this illnessCopy !req
186. "I concealed it,
I apologize.Copy !req
187. "Let me tell you about it.Copy !req
188. Let me reduce your fears."Copy !req
189. It's too cold.
It's not
too cold.Copy !req
190. He needs to be
with the First Lady.Copy !req
191. In some decorative room? Sitting
with his wife weakens him.Copy !req
192. Let's put him
behind the
Kennedy deskCopy !req
193. let's put him in the East RoomCopy !req
194. let's put him in
the briefing room...Copy !req
195. Sam, he's going
to go on TV and
say he lied.Copy !req
196. I don't want him doing
it behind the Seal
of the President.Copy !req
197. You think without the Seal,
people are going to forget
that he's the President?Copy !req
198. We'll do a 30-minute
live special for one
of the news magazines.Copy !req
199. Live, live-to-tape or tape?Copy !req
200. Live. I don't want a producer
editing what he says.Copy !req
201. What if we want to edit
what he says?Copy !req
202. That's our tough luck.Copy !req
203. When?Copy !req
204. How about Thursday night?
Wednesday night.Copy !req
205. Why?
'Cause Thursday night
is where they pay their billsCopy !req
206. and it's going to be tough
enough getting 30 minutes
and not telling them whyCopy !req
207. without cutting into their bread
and butter during May sweeps.Copy !req
208. Oh, who gives a damn
about May sweeps?Copy !req
209. They do, Sam.Copy !req
210. All right. 30 minutes,
Dateline specialCopy !req
211. Wednesday night,
night after tomorrowCopy !req
212. President and First Lady
in the Mural Room.Copy !req
213. And we follow that
with a press conference.Copy !req
214. Why?Copy !req
215. To control the story
as long as possible.Copy !req
216. Once he gets done
with Russert or DianeCopy !req
217. or Stone Phillips
or whoever the hell does thisCopy !req
218. I'm going to need every reporter
in the western hemisphereCopy !req
219. in a room where
I can see them.Copy !req
220. And we put a team
of medical experts up there.Copy !req
221. And we have 48 hours
to find them.Copy !req
222. Hang on. If we take himCopy !req
223. from the Mural Room
to a press conferenceCopy !req
224. isn't a smart reporter
going to askCopy !req
225. "Mr. President, are you planning
on seeking reelection?"Copy !req
226. "A smart repor..."Copy !req
227. Sam, Ted Baxter is going to askCopy !req
228. "Mr. President, are you planning
on seeking reelection?"Copy !req
229. So we're going to need an answer
to that, too.Copy !req
230. You're getting
an eight-speaker stereo?
No.Copy !req
231. Six speakers?
No.Copy !req
232. How many speakers?Copy !req
233. I have two ears. How
many speakers do I need?Copy !req
234. At least six
and a sub-woofer.Copy !req
235. I'm not getting a sub-woofer.Copy !req
236. How about the tow package?Copy !req
237. The tow package?Copy !req
238. To tow your boat.Copy !req
239. I don't have a boat.Copy !req
240. What about a camper?Copy !req
241. No.Copy !req
242. What do you tow?Copy !req
243. Groceries.Copy !req
244. You could probably
put those in the trunk.
Yeah.Copy !req
245. Tinted windows?
Hey.Copy !req
246. Hello, Josh.Copy !req
247. Mrs. Landingham's picking up
a new car today.Copy !req
248. Really?Copy !req
249. Yes, and I wish
I hadn't told anyone.Copy !req
250. Why do men think a woman
can't buy a car without a man?Copy !req
251. It's an old stereotype, Mrs. I.Copy !req
252. Did you get
the extended service warranty?Copy !req
253. No.Copy !req
254. Women.Copy !req
255. What do you want?Copy !req
256. I got a message
Leo wanted to see me.Copy !req
257. He's in his office.Copy !req
258. Did you get the tow package?Copy !req
259. See?Copy !req
260. He's in his office.Copy !req
261. Margaret!Copy !req
262. Where's Josh?Copy !req
263. He's on his way.Copy !req
264. He remembers
where my office
is, right?Copy !req
265. Leo, calm down.
I'm right here.
He's right here.Copy !req
266. Get out.Copy !req
267. This report is staggering.Copy !req
268. I know.Copy !req
269. Justice has
31 lawyers and staff.Copy !req
270. Tobacco has 1,893 lawyersCopy !req
271. and 2,783 paralegals.Copy !req
272. This isn't a typo, right?Copy !req
273. No.Copy !req
274. We've spent $8.7 million
on outside counsel.Copy !req
275. They've spent 192.Copy !req
276. The $61.3 millionCopy !req
277. they've spent on travel expensesCopy !req
278. is twice as much as we've spent
on our entire case.Copy !req
279. Yes.Copy !req
280. Who oversees
the Justice Department budget?Copy !req
281. The Subcommittee on CommerceCopy !req
282. Justice, State
and the Judiciary.Copy !req
283. Who's the ranking
minority member?
Ritter.Copy !req
284. Talk to him and find out
what the problem is.Copy !req
285. Yeah.
Josh?Copy !req
286. How's it going downstairs?Copy !req
287. They'll have an
answer on it by
the end of the day.Copy !req
288. It's looking like
30 minutes on DatelineCopy !req
289. and a press conferenceCopy !req
290. but Leo, it's also looking
like any scenarioCopy !req
291. is going to require
a firm positionCopy !req
292. from the President
on reelection.Copy !req
293. Well, we'll have that answer
by the end of the day, too.Copy !req
294. Will we?
Yes.Copy !req
295. Leo...Copy !req
296. He just got Joey's numbers
in the middle of the night.Copy !req
297. Give me the day.
Don't you think
it would help himCopy !req
298. if he had a
discussion among...Copy !req
299. a discussion among
the rest of us?Copy !req
300. Excuse me.Copy !req
301. What?Copy !req
302. Two of Dessaline's
bodyguards were shot.Copy !req
303. We think he's headed
to our embassy.Copy !req
304. How do we know?Copy !req
305. Peter Bratt got
a message through.Copy !req
306. What is Peter Bratt
doing down here?Copy !req
307. He went down for
the inaugurationCopy !req
308. and he may well
have DessalineCopy !req
309. in the trunk of his car.Copy !req
310. The trunk of his car?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
311. Did we evacuate
the nonessentials?Copy !req
312. They're on their way.Copy !req
313. A C-9's waiting for
them on the runway.Copy !req
314. Mr. President, if we
don't take DessalineCopy !req
315. he'll be convicted
in a 20-minute trial,
imprisoned for lifeCopy !req
316. or probably executed
by the junta.Copy !req
317. I'm sorry, sir, but this is
an internal affair in HaitiCopy !req
318. and the U.S. has no
place choosing sides.Copy !req
319. Of course we're choosing sides—
there was a free election.Copy !req
320. We saw to it there wasCopy !req
321. a free election,
and Dessaline won.Copy !req
322. If we grant asylumCopy !req
323. we'll officially be in
a standoff with Bazan.Copy !req
324. And the best way for Bazan
to elevate his stature in HaitiCopy !req
325. is stage a standoff
with the U.S.Copy !req
326. Plus, Bazan can
surround the embassyCopy !req
327. saying he's searching
for a wanted criminalCopy !req
328. and obviously, he can
take everyone in the
embassy hostage.Copy !req
329. Mr. President,
there will never
be real electionsCopy !req
330. in Haiti if the military thinks
it can simply kill the winner.Copy !req
331. Also, I'd like
to point out, sir,
that we encouragedCopy !req
332. Dessaline to run— in fact,
we strongly encouraged it—Copy !req
333. and now he's in the trunk
of a car.Copy !req
334. The car's at the gate.Copy !req
335. I got the gate right here.Copy !req
336. Let him in.Copy !req
337. Sir...Copy !req
338. Let him in!Copy !req
339. Tell them to let him in.Copy !req
340. He's in.Copy !req
341. Do we put Hoynes
up there?Copy !req
342. At the press conference?Copy !req
343. Do we put Hoynes
up there?Copy !req
344. There's never been
a more important timeCopy !req
345. to emphasize
the vice presidency.Copy !req
346. The Vice President's presenceCopy !req
347. underlines the health risk
to the President.Copy !req
348. And it's good to underscore
that the President anticipatedCopy !req
349. this problem with his selection
of the Vice President.Copy !req
350. But it will also serve to
underscore that he anticipatedCopy !req
351. the problem and didn't tell
anybody about it.Copy !req
352. Hoynes was one
of the first people to know.Copy !req
353. If he's there, it's a breathing
demonstration that he signed offCopy !req
354. on the President's health
and joined the ticket.Copy !req
355. And he'll get bombarded
with questionsCopy !req
356. about what he did
or didn't knowCopy !req
357. and the press corps will impanel
themselves as a grand jury.Copy !req
358. Then let them, C.J.!Copy !req
359. We did something wrong
or we didn't.Copy !req
360. Well, fantastic, Sam.Copy !req
361. I didn't realize
it was that simple.Copy !req
362. There's a situation developing
in Port-au-Prince.Copy !req
363. I have to get ready to brief.Copy !req
364. Sam...Copy !req
365. can Josiah Bartlet function
as President?Copy !req
366. I'm not a medical expert.Copy !req
367. Right.Copy !req
368. Toby, there is
responsibility
and the futureCopy !req
369. and an obligation
to the partyCopy !req
370. and if he is not going to runCopy !req
371. then he's got to point
to HoynesCopy !req
372. and say this is our guy.Copy !req
373. Well, what if
they ask HoynesCopy !req
374. "In the meantime,
can Bartlet function
as President?"Copy !req
375. He'll say yes.Copy !req
376. What if he says,
"I'm not a medical expert"?Copy !req
377. The President of Haiti was taken
to the embassyCopy !req
378. in the trunk of a car?Copy !req
379. Yes.Copy !req
380. I've lived too long.Copy !req
381. Well, don't go anywhere,
'cause I need you.Copy !req
382. I mean it, Lyman,
this is going to get worseCopy !req
383. before it's going
to get better.Copy !req
384. You may be right,
but Haiti'sCopy !req
385. actually not what
I wanted to talk
to you about.Copy !req
386. Tobacco?Copy !req
387. Yeah. Andy, the President
wants to get behindCopy !req
388. a $30 million
appropriations billCopy !req
389. that the Justice
Department's had
in your committeeCopy !req
390. for a few months now.Copy !req
391. They need the money
to continue the case.Copy !req
392. I know.Copy !req
393. Has the Chairman
scheduled a vote?Copy !req
394. He's not going to.Copy !req
395. He's not going
to schedule a vote?Copy !req
396. Kalmbach's going to dance
with the girl that brung him.Copy !req
397. How much tobacco
money has he taken?Copy !req
398. From the last campaign?Copy !req
399. Yeah.Copy !req
400. $460,000 in PACs.Copy !req
401. Is there a nose count?Copy !req
402. Yeah, it's 8-7 against.Copy !req
403. Along party lines?Copy !req
404. No, believe it or not.Copy !req
405. We've got two Republicans;
they've got two Democrats.Copy !req
406. They've got
two Democrats?Copy !req
407. Warren and Rossitter.Copy !req
408. Warren and RossitterCopy !req
409. aren't even
from the South.Copy !req
410. They have ideological
problems with the case.Copy !req
411. This is a phenomenally
important case;
it's historic.Copy !req
412. It has to be won,
and we're fighting itCopy !req
413. with paper clips
and a slingshot.Copy !req
414. We were wondering when
you guys were going to notice.Copy !req
415. Hi.Copy !req
416. Hi.Copy !req
417. Have a seat.Copy !req
418. I was told you wanted to see me.Copy !req
419. Yeah, Donna.Copy !req
420. Uh... I'm going to tell you
something shockingCopy !req
421. except we don't have time
to be shocked.Copy !req
422. So I need you to just hear it
and go back to work.Copy !req
423. Yeah.Copy !req
424. Eight years ago, the President
was diagnosed with MS.Copy !req
425. He concealed it
during the electionCopy !req
426. but we're going public
Wednesday nightCopy !req
427. with a live network
interviewCopy !req
428. and a press conference.Copy !req
429. This is what Josh is going
to be working on 24 hoursCopy !req
430. and he's going to need your helpCopy !req
431. and he's going to
need you to knowCopy !req
432. and so I'm telling you.Copy !req
433. Yeah.Copy !req
434. You're the first person
on the assistant levelCopy !req
435. to find out.Copy !req
436. Margaret doesn't knowCopy !req
437. Bonnie and Ginger
don't know, Donna...Copy !req
438. Mrs. Landingham doesn't know.Copy !req
439. Is the President
in a lot of painCopy !req
440. or discomfort right now?Copy !req
441. No, he's in remission.Copy !req
442. Okay.Copy !req
443. Is there anything else?Copy !req
444. I want to impress upon
you how important it isCopy !req
445. that this not be
discussed beyond...Copy !req
446. Yeah.Copy !req
447. You want to know
where you made your mistake?Copy !req
448. I didn't make a mistake.Copy !req
449. You probably did,
and here's where
you went wrong.Copy !req
450. Where?Copy !req
451. You went to the
dealership alone.Copy !req
452. Yes.
That was a mistake.Copy !req
453. Because the dealer
would load me upCopy !req
454. with a lot of extras
I don't need?Copy !req
455. That's right.Copy !req
456. Like, uh, a tow package?Copy !req
457. How are you going
to tow your camperCopy !req
458. without a tow package?Copy !req
459. I have never
been camping.Copy !req
460. Neither have I,
and I was hoping
you'd take me.Copy !req
461. I'd be sitting
there fishingCopy !req
462. listening to the Orioles
on a transistor radio.Copy !req
463. What would I be doing?Copy !req
464. Warding off bears,
that kind of thing.Copy !req
465. How much did
you pay?Copy !req
466. We don't talk
about money, dear.Copy !req
467. Can you tell me
how much you paid
below sticker?Copy !req
468. I didn't pay anything
below sticker.Copy !req
469. What do you mean?
In my own defenseCopy !req
470. I didn't pay anything
above sticker, either.Copy !req
471. Mrs. Landingham,
seriously.
Charlie...Copy !req
472. No seriously,
you paid sticker price?Copy !req
473. Yes.
Why?Copy !req
474. That was the price.
Mrs. Landingham...Copy !req
475. Says so right
on the sticker.Copy !req
476. Who pays
sticker price?
I do.Copy !req
477. You got to let me go
back there with you.Copy !req
478. I wasn't duped,
Charlie.
You paid sticker price.Copy !req
479. I'm a government employee.Copy !req
480. That doesn't necessarily
mean you're a fool.Copy !req
481. No, but it means
I'm not allowedCopy !req
482. to accept gifts
of a certain value.Copy !req
483. It's not a gift.
Of course it is.Copy !req
484. The price tag says
one thingCopy !req
485. and the dealer is
giving it to me
for something less.Copy !req
486. That's what happens
when you buy a car.Copy !req
487. Not me.Copy !req
488. I was looking for Leo.Copy !req
489. He's in the
Situation Room.Copy !req
490. That's usually a good sign.Copy !req
491. How many are they saying?Copy !req
492. They can't say.Copy !req
493. Well, how many are
they estimating?Copy !req
494. It changes
every minute.Copy !req
495. How many this minute?Copy !req
496. Nancy. The cavalry.Copy !req
497. You guys need
some adult supervision?Copy !req
498. No, we need the cavalry.Copy !req
499. Nah. Jeff, what's
the latest estimate?Copy !req
500. It's about
500 soldiersCopy !req
501. maybe 300 of them
with AR-15s.Copy !req
502. We sold those
to them, right?Copy !req
503. Well, until a few hours ago,
they were on our side.Copy !req
504. Still...Copy !req
505. Yeah. The AR-15s aren't
the only thing they've got.Copy !req
506. They've got two Bradleys
with 120-millimeter cannonsCopy !req
507. and a couple
of artillery tubes.Copy !req
508. What do we have?Copy !req
509. 37 Marines with M-14s
and Beretta side arms.Copy !req
510. What happens when the
first shot is fired?Copy !req
511. Sally, get me hooked up
to operations.Copy !req
512. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
513. Embassy Marines
aren't lawn jockeys.Copy !req
514. They're not decorative.Copy !req
515. They're trained in restraintCopy !req
516. and they're trained well.Copy !req
517. Operations, ma'am.
Thank you.Copy !req
518. Nancy, if they take the embassy,
how are we going to know?Copy !req
519. Are they going
to send some
kind of note?Copy !req
520. Sidney, I need com-con status.
This is a few minutes old.Copy !req
521. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
522. There's no note, Leo.
They're taking the embassy.Copy !req
523. Fitz, this is Nancy.Copy !req
524. I think we should mobilize
the 8-80th Hostage Task ForceCopy !req
525. out of Parris Island.Copy !req
526. as well as amphibious carriers
out of Mayport, FloridaCopy !req
527. are being dispatched
to the regionCopy !req
528. and are expected to be there
in 36 hoursCopy !req
529. and aircraft will be
in a combat radiusCopy !req
530. of 300 to 400 miles
within 12 hoursCopy !req
531. and you'll get more details
on thatCopy !req
532. when the Pentagon briefs
at 3:00.Copy !req
533. C.J...
Katie?Copy !req
534. Should we be reading
anything into the factCopy !req
535. that the Pentagon's
briefing and not State?Copy !req
536. State'll brief later in the day.Copy !req
537. Is one option recognizing
the Bazan government?Copy !req
538. There is no Bazan government.Copy !req
539. Yeah, but is one
option being...?Copy !req
540. You're not taking me there,
Mark.Copy !req
541. C.J., is the U.S. prepared
to invade Haiti?Copy !req
542. It should be clearCopy !req
543. that we're talking
about two separate issues:Copy !req
544. One is a democratically-elected
PresidentCopy !req
545. whose people are being denied
their leader by an armed militiaCopy !req
546. the other is the lives
of the Americans in the embassyCopy !req
547. and the American Marines
who are guarding them.Copy !req
548. You didn't answer my question.Copy !req
549. How about that.Copy !req
550. I'll be back in a few hours.Copy !req
551. C.J., C.J., C.J...Copy !req
552. Is he here?Copy !req
553. He's in the Mural Room.Copy !req
554. I look all right?Copy !req
555. You look pretty tired.Copy !req
556. That's what you're saying to me?Copy !req
557. You're sure there's
nothing I can get
for you, Mr. Hacket?Copy !req
558. No, Bonnie, thanks.
I'm fine.Copy !req
559. Paul.Copy !req
560. Good afternoon, Claudia.Copy !req
561. Bonnie, thank you.Copy !req
562. Would you stand
outside the door, pleaseCopy !req
563. and knock if anybody
wants to come in?Copy !req
564. Sure.Copy !req
565. She took me in
through the basement.Copy !req
566. Yeah.Copy !req
567. I've been in this building
200 or 300 times.Copy !req
568. Never came in
through the basement.Copy !req
569. What do you got in front?Copy !req
570. The White House Press Corps.Copy !req
571. Yeah?Copy !req
572. I need 30 minutes,
night after tomorrow.Copy !req
573. C.J., what
the hellCopy !req
574. are you guys planning for Haiti?Copy !req
575. It's not Haiti.Copy !req
576. What is it?Copy !req
577. I'm not going to tell you.Copy !req
578. What am I supposed to tell
my news director?Copy !req
579. Tell him it's your network.Copy !req
580. It's not my network.Copy !req
581. It belongs to a company
that belongs to stockholders.Copy !req
582. So what am I supposed to tell
my news director?Copy !req
583. That we need 30 minutes
Wednesday night.Copy !req
584. On Wednesday morning,
I'll tell you why.Copy !req
585. You pick the interviewer.Copy !req
586. They'll have ten hours
to prepare.Copy !req
587. Just the President?Copy !req
588. The President
and First Lady.Copy !req
589. On our set?Copy !req
590. In this room.Copy !req
591. So, we just get the interviewer
and the network logo?Copy !req
592. No network logo.Copy !req
593. C.J...
Paul, I've got to get
two other networks and CNNCopy !req
594. to pick this up live.Copy !req
595. Bad enough it's going to be
your guy and not theirsCopy !req
596. but they'll run an old
Petticoat JunctionCopy !req
597. before they put
your network brand on their air.Copy !req
598. C.J...Copy !req
599. Yeah?Copy !req
600. Between friends...Copy !req
601. Yeah?Copy !req
602. Is the water over your head?Copy !req
603. No. The water's
exactly at my head.Copy !req
604. I'll talk to Jeremy.Copy !req
605. Paul, we'll start to leak
Wednesday morningCopy !req
606. to soften up the ground
a littleCopy !req
607. but anything leaks before thenCopy !req
608. and I'll take my business
across the street.Copy !req
609. Yeah.Copy !req
610. Well, I was surprised when
Andy gave me the nose countCopy !req
611. because I wasn't
aware of any ties
to tobacco you have.Copy !req
612. We don't.Copy !req
613. Yeah.Copy !req
614. I don't. Do you?Copy !req
615. No. No, we grow
no tobacco in my stateCopy !req
616. and I'd have to checkCopy !req
617. but I don't think
I've taken contributions.Copy !req
618. However, we are both
former U.S. AttorneysCopy !req
619. and it's the suit itselfCopy !req
620. we find troubling.Copy !req
621. The suit?Copy !req
622. The suit alleges thatCopy !req
623. the tobacco companies
have been engagedCopy !req
624. in a broad conspiracy of lies
since the 1950s.Copy !req
625. Yes.Copy !req
626. How exactly are the Justice
Department litigatorsCopy !req
627. going to demonstrate that?Copy !req
628. Well, I-I'm not a litigatorCopy !req
629. and I don't work
at the Justice DepartmentCopy !req
630. and there's a reason
why both those things are trueCopy !req
631. but I wouldn't think
it'd be that hard to proveCopy !req
632. that the tobacco companies
have liedCopy !req
633. since we already know they did.Copy !req
634. Every Surgeon
General since 1964Copy !req
635. has warned the public
about smokingCopy !req
636. and since 1966Copy !req
637. through
Congressional mandateCopy !req
638. a pack of cigarettes
has had to carry
a warning label.Copy !req
639. Turning around now
and saying we've been hadCopy !req
640. is frankly ridiculous.Copy !req
641. Are you saying that the people
who start smokingCopy !req
642. and get addicted to nicotine
are too stupid to live?Copy !req
643. No. I'm saying
they're too stupidCopy !req
644. to be protected
by the courts.Copy !req
645. Too stupid to be...?Copy !req
646. Every day the Justice Department
uncovers evidenceCopy !req
647. that cigarette companies knew
far better than the rest of usCopy !req
648. that smoking causes
death and diseaseCopy !req
649. to say nothing
of the CEOsCopy !req
650. being the last seven people
on earthCopy !req
651. to discover that nicotine
was addictive.Copy !req
652. Josh, your administration
wants to prosecute a suitCopy !req
653. they know is hopelessCopy !req
654. so they can score points
at the expense of an industryCopy !req
655. that funds your opponents.Copy !req
656. It's politically correct
extortionCopy !req
657. and that's why it's unlikely
the appropriations billCopy !req
658. will make it
out of the subcommittee.Copy !req
659. It's almost 3:00.Copy !req
660. By 7:00, 3,000 new people
will have taken up smoking.Copy !req
661. 2,800 of them will be under 18.Copy !req
662. Thanks.Copy !req
663. Good afternoon, ma'am.Copy !req
664. Sagittarius.Copy !req
665. Good afternoon,
Mrs. Bartlet.Copy !req
666. What do we use this place for
when we're not...Copy !req
667. using it for this?Copy !req
668. I think... I know
we used it to planCopy !req
669. some of the millennium things.Copy !req
670. It didn't used to be
the photo office?Copy !req
671. I don't know, ma'am.
I could check it out.Copy !req
672. Would you like to sit down?Copy !req
673. Yeah.Copy !req
674. What we're talking aboutCopy !req
675. is 30 minutes
with an interviewer.Copy !req
676. The questions will be entirely
about the medical history.Copy !req
677. There'll be no questions
about the law.Copy !req
678. C.J. got them
to agree to that?Copy !req
679. She will Wednesday morningCopy !req
680. when she tells them
what it's about.Copy !req
681. Why will they agree?Copy !req
682. 'Cause if they don't,
they lose the story.Copy !req
683. It's all right with me.Copy !req
684. So, I'd like to go
through the storyCopy !req
685. get a sense
of what you're going to sayCopy !req
686. run it by Oliver Babish,
and spendCopy !req
687. the next couple of days
going over it with you.Copy !req
688. That sounds fine,
Sam, but you knowCopy !req
689. I'm kind of seeing
someone right now.Copy !req
690. Yeah.
It's not serious,
but it could be.Copy !req
691. You know what
I'm saying?Copy !req
692. Ma'am...Copy !req
693. Ten years ago, he began
experiencing fatigueCopy !req
694. and signs of paraparesis of
the anterior femoral muscles.Copy !req
695. In laymen's terms?Copy !req
696. He had a tingling
pain in his thigh.Copy !req
697. And those symptoms subsided.Copy !req
698. Yes.Copy !req
699. And two years later?Copy !req
700. My husband experienced
neuropathyCopy !req
701. and presented symptoms
of optic neuritisCopy !req
702. with partial
unilateral
nerve paresis.Copy !req
703. Mrs. Bartlet...Copy !req
704. Dr. Bartlet.Copy !req
705. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
706. The languageCopy !req
707. you use...Copy !req
708. Why aren't the President
and I doing this together?Copy !req
709. I'm sorry?Copy !req
710. Somebody's doing this
with the PresidentCopy !req
711. and I was asking why
we're not doing it
at the same time.Copy !req
712. Is it so you can
compare our stories?Copy !req
713. Yes.Copy !req
714. The language you use...Copy !req
715. Two years later, he felt
numbing and dizziness.Copy !req
716. Look...
Section 2635Copy !req
717. of the guidelines laid out
in Ethical ConductCopy !req
718. for Employees
of the Executive BranchCopy !req
719. Final Regulations,
Issued by the U.S. OfficeCopy !req
720. of Government
Ethics...Copy !req
721. Mrs. Landingham...
Section 2635Copy !req
722. wherein White House employees
are specifically enjoinedCopy !req
723. from receiving or soliciting
gifts over $20 in value.Copy !req
724. They want to give me
a $19 discount on my carCopy !req
725. I'll take it.Copy !req
726. He's waiting for you.Copy !req
727. Thank you.Copy !req
728. What happened?Copy !req
729. We shot three Haitian soldiers
on the runway.Copy !req
730. They boarded the plane?Copy !req
731. Ground traffic control
stopped the plane.Copy !req
732. When the soldiers
boarded itCopy !req
733. they were told
they'd illegally boardedCopy !req
734. a U.S. Air Force C-9.Copy !req
735. They were told
to drop their weapons.Copy !req
736. They were told again.Copy !req
737. Two staff sergeants
in the bulkheadCopy !req
738. had a clear shot and took them.Copy !req
739. They dumped the bodies
on the tarmacCopy !req
740. and made an emergency takeoff.Copy !req
741. Leo...
Sir...Copy !req
742. That wasn't supposed
to happen.Copy !req
743. Look, if...Copy !req
744. I evacuated the nonessentialsCopy !req
745. specifically
so that wouldn't happen.Copy !req
746. And we came
two minutes...
I gave the order six hours ago.Copy !req
747. They had to...
Six hours ago
I gave the order!Copy !req
748. What the hell were they
still doing on a runway?Copy !req
749. They had to be
collected, sir.Copy !req
750. They weren't
all in one place.Copy !req
751. We shot three men...Copy !req
752. That's what you do.Copy !req
753. We what?Copy !req
754. A foreign hostile
puts his footCopy !req
755. on an American
military planeCopy !req
756. that's an attack,
and rules of engagementCopy !req
757. give us every
right to repel.Copy !req
758. And I'm sure these guys
had their handbooks with them!Copy !req
759. These guys were there
to keep the plane on the ground.Copy !req
760. The plane is up in the air?Copy !req
761. Yes, sir.Copy !req
762. What's happening on the ground?Copy !req
763. We're communicating through
diplomatic back channels.Copy !req
764. Who are we using?Copy !req
765. The Canadian AmbassadorCopy !req
766. Dominican intelligence.Copy !req
767. And what does Bazan want?Copy !req
768. Dessaline.Copy !req
769. On what charge?Copy !req
770. That as Treasury MinisterCopy !req
771. he embezzled $18 million
earmarked for humanitarian aid.Copy !req
772. I'm sold.Copy !req
773. Margaret, get me
the Secretary of State.Copy !req
774. You're right, you know.Copy !req
775. I should be
bringing them inCopy !req
776. on reelection.Copy !req
777. I should be talking to them.Copy !req
778. Yeah.Copy !req
779. I don't want to make
the same mistakes over again.Copy !req
780. Yeah, not when there are so many
new mistakes we can make.Copy !req
781. Yeah.Copy !req
782. Let's start tonight.Copy !req
783. Around 9:00,
we'll meet in the residence.Copy !req
784. ScottCopy !req
785. I'm with the President.Copy !req
786. We're going to need
to invoke 1070 at OAS.Copy !req
787. Good evening,
Mr. President.Copy !req
788. Bob Cratchit.Copy !req
789. Oh, sir, surely you have better
things to do than annoy me.Copy !req
790. Never. You bought
a new car?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
791. And you paid sticker price?Copy !req
792. Section 2635...Copy !req
793. You need to look
at the next page—Copy !req
794. Subsection "B," Paragraph 4,
Mammy Yokum.Copy !req
795. You know, I could
beat you upCopy !req
796. anytime I want, sir.Copy !req
797. Secret Service
would have you downCopy !req
798. like a calf
at a rodeo.Copy !req
799. "The definition of 'gift'Copy !req
800. "excludes opportunities
and benefitsCopy !req
801. "including favorable rates
and commercial discountsCopy !req
802. available to the
public at large."Copy !req
803. I did look at the next page.Copy !req
804. And?Copy !req
805. I work next door
to the Oval Office, sir.Copy !req
806. Caesar's wife
must be above reproach.Copy !req
807. Is the reason you didn't tell me
you were getting a new car...?Copy !req
808. Did you think I was going to
think it was an extravagance?Copy !req
809. You don't think I think
you should have a new car?Copy !req
810. Delores, have you ever had
a new car?Copy !req
811. No.Copy !req
812. No, Henry would go to
Calvin Hilly in ConcordCopy !req
813. and Calvin would give him
a good dealCopy !req
814. on something reliable.Copy !req
815. How about you let me find out
what you were supposed to payCopy !req
816. and write you a check
for the difference?Copy !req
817. Oh, no.Copy !req
818. Thank you, but I'm
buying this car myself.Copy !req
819. This car is going
to feel good.Copy !req
820. Is it a nice one?Copy !req
821. It's a beauty.Copy !req
822. It's blueCopy !req
823. it has air conditioning—Copy !req
824. I told them I could just
roll down the windowsCopy !req
825. but it comes with it anyway—Copy !req
826. Consumer Reports
rates it very highCopy !req
827. it's very safeCopy !req
828. and when you get inside,
there's this...Copy !req
829. Smell?Copy !req
830. How did you know?Copy !req
831. It's the smell of freedom...Copy !req
832. and the chemicals
they treat the dashboard with.Copy !req
833. When are you picking it up?Copy !req
834. Right now.
Do me a favor,
would you?Copy !req
835. Come back here
after you pick it up.Copy !req
836. I'd like to talk to you
about something.Copy !req
837. Yes, sir.Copy !req
838. And put the car in the driveway.Copy !req
839. I'd like to kick the tires.Copy !req
840. Why?Copy !req
841. It's an expression, Fannie Mae.Copy !req
842. Go get your car.Copy !req
843. What happens is basically that
small stones in the inner earCopy !req
844. which respond to gravity
become dislodgedCopy !req
845. and that'll cause
benign positional vertigo.Copy !req
846. You all right?Copy !req
847. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
848. Sure you don't want
some acetylsalicylic acid?Copy !req
849. Aspirin, my brother.Copy !req
850. What a dumb major you had.Copy !req
851. Good evening.Copy !req
852. Oh, Oliver.Copy !req
853. Do you know
what peripheralCopy !req
854. neuropathy indicates?Copy !req
855. No, but I don't really care
that much.Copy !req
856. Sam, would you mind
for a minute?Copy !req
857. No.Copy !req
858. B-12 deficiency.Copy !req
859. Thank you.
Sure.Copy !req
860. Mrs. Bartlet,
I want to talk to you about...Copy !req
861. Dr. Bartlet.Copy !req
862. When did I stop
being Dr. Bartlet?Copy !req
863. When in the campaign
did I decideCopy !req
864. that women were going
to like me moreCopy !req
865. if I called myself "Missus"?Copy !req
866. When did I decide
that women were that stupid?Copy !req
867. Ma'am, I want you
to get your own lawyer.Copy !req
868. I have my own lawyer.
Pat's a family lawyer.Copy !req
869. I want you to get someone for
this. I'll give you eight names.Copy !req
870. You, Pat and the President
whittle it down to three.
I'll pick the one.Copy !req
871. Can we do this after
the broadcast Wednesday night?Copy !req
872. No, I want you to do it right
away because I don't thinkCopy !req
873. you should do the broadcast
Wednesday night.Copy !req
874. Sam said they're not going
to get into issues of legality.Copy !req
875. I don't know how
they're going to avoid it.Copy !req
876. Oliver...
Herman Vikram was
the original specialist, right?Copy !req
877. Yeah.Copy !req
878. It was Vikram who put
him on prednisone.
Yeah.Copy !req
879. Then almost four years agoCopy !req
880. you put him
on Interferon Beta 1-b.Copy !req
881. Yeah.Copy !req
882. Betaseron.
Yeah.Copy !req
883. You did it, not Vikram.Copy !req
884. It was in consultation
with Vikram.Copy !req
885. But Vikram didn't write
the prescription.Copy !req
886. I thought
under the circumstancesCopy !req
887. it would be wrong to involveCopy !req
888. another doctor.Copy !req
889. So you wrote these prescriptions
to yourselfCopy !req
890. and then had them filled where?Copy !req
891. At the Dunwich
Women's Health Clinic.Copy !req
892. And then had them shipped
to various locations?Copy !req
893. It was the campaign.Copy !req
894. One location wasCopy !req
895. Phoenix?
Probably.Copy !req
896. Another was St. Louis.
Yeah.Copy !req
897. You violated
the medical ethics rulesCopy !req
898. of three State Boards—
New HampshireCopy !req
899. Arizona,
and Missouri.Copy !req
900. "The Board may take
disciplinary actionCopy !req
901. "against any person
who is engagedCopy !req
902. in dishonest
or unprofessional conduct."Copy !req
903. They were extraordinary
circumstances, Oliver.Copy !req
904. I gave my husband
excellent medical careCopy !req
905. and I'll line up
tenured professorsCopy !req
906. who will say so.Copy !req
907. Did you keep
medical records?Copy !req
908. No.Copy !req
909. "... or any person
who has failed to maintainCopy !req
910. "adequate medical records
or documentationCopy !req
911. on diagnostic
and therapeutic treatment."Copy !req
912. The AMA's code of ethics
pretty well spells outCopy !req
913. the egregiousness of treating
your own family members.Copy !req
914. We do it anyway.Copy !req
915. We write prescriptions
for migraines, antibiotics...Copy !req
916. Can I ask you,
as the President's physicianCopy !req
917. have you ever asked himCopy !req
918. if he's ever had
any extramarital affairs?Copy !req
919. No.Copy !req
920. Isn't that
a crucial questionCopy !req
921. in the diagnosing
of autoimmune diseases?Copy !req
922. I'd like to be next to my
husband when he does this.Copy !req
923. I'd like you
to get your own lawyer.Copy !req
924. Is there anything else?Copy !req
925. No.Copy !req
926. Thank you, Dr. Bartlet.Copy !req
927. You need this?Copy !req
928. I didn't even see you there.Copy !req
929. I haven't seen
you all day.Copy !req
930. I've been with...Copy !req
931. you know, tobacco.Copy !req
932. You need this?Copy !req
933. Yeah.Copy !req
934. Josh, the President wants you
at a meeting tonightCopy !req
935. in the residence around 9:00.Copy !req
936. I'll tell you what that is.Copy !req
937. That's the Blue Ribbon
Commission on Reform.Copy !req
938. Let me tell you, I'm going
to be collecting benefitsCopy !req
939. or, you know, notCopy !req
940. by the time we get
this Blue Ribbon thing up.Copy !req
941. Josh.Copy !req
942. Yeah?Copy !req
943. Um...Copy !req
944. I'm trying to...Copy !req
945. See, this is why
I'll never have a career as a...Copy !req
946. Donna, what?
Sagittarius.Copy !req
947. Are you all right?Copy !req
948. Yeah.Copy !req
949. There's an empty officeCopy !req
950. next to the conference room
downstairs.Copy !req
951. I moved two couches inCopy !req
952. and there's some
pillows and blankets.Copy !req
953. C.J. putting the lid on?Copy !req
954. Right nowCopy !req
955. and Leo's ready for you now.Copy !req
956. The OAS has
agreed to meetCopy !req
957. in an emergency session
tomorrow morningCopy !req
958. but we're still waiting
for confirmation.Copy !req
959. Can you tell us exactly what
you're going to say to them?Copy !req
960. Yes, but first we're going
to say it to them.Copy !req
961. C.J., one more question
on the Haitian casualties.Copy !req
962. Sorry, Mark, we're out of time,
but we'll pick it upCopy !req
963. with our lightning round
tomorrow.Copy !req
964. I'm calling
a full lid.Copy !req
965. Any developments
throughout the nightCopy !req
966. and you'll be paged.Copy !req
967. Thanks for your patience,
everybody.Copy !req
968. Thank you, C.J.
Thank you, C.J.Copy !req
969. Leo's ready for you.Copy !req
970. Thanks.Copy !req
971. Leo.Copy !req
972. This is insane,
plain and simple.Copy !req
973. What's insane?Copy !req
974. Oh, never mind.
What isn't?Copy !req
975. You don't think
it's crazy?Copy !req
976. I don't even know
what we're talking about.Copy !req
977. We're firming
up strategyCopy !req
978. on what will define the
future of this presidencyCopy !req
979. and we don't know
if this PresidentCopy !req
980. is interested
in the future.Copy !req
981. We have to have
a discussionCopy !req
982. and we have to
have it tonight.Copy !req
983. We're having a discussion.Copy !req
984. When?
Tonight.Copy !req
985. Okay, then.Copy !req
986. Good evening.Copy !req
987. Good evening, Josh.Copy !req
988. Leo, would youCopy !req
989. excuse us for
a second?Copy !req
990. Toby, can I talk
to you outside?Copy !req
991. You told Donna.Copy !req
992. Yeah.Copy !req
993. Why didn't you let me?Copy !req
994. You hadn't yet.Copy !req
995. How'd she take it?Copy !req
996. If everybody out there
takes it the way she didCopy !req
997. we may be okay.Copy !req
998. If a few more people in here
took it the way she didCopy !req
999. that'd be all right, too.Copy !req
1000. Was that for me?Copy !req
1001. That was for me.Copy !req
1002. Tobacco.Copy !req
1003. Kalmbach's not
going to let itCopy !req
1004. come to a vote in
the subcommitteeCopy !req
1005. which for the
moment is fineCopy !req
1006. 'cause if he did,
it'd be 8-7 against.Copy !req
1007. Party lines?Copy !req
1008. No.Copy !req
1009. We have Stacy and MinerCopy !req
1010. but Warren and
Rossitter are
voting against.Copy !req
1011. They have
ideologicalCopy !req
1012. problems
with the case.Copy !req
1013. What do you want
to do now?Copy !req
1014. Stick some dynamite
up Warren and Rossitter's ass.Copy !req
1015. Yeah, the problem is, Rossitter
sits on the Judiciary CommitteeCopy !req
1016. and I don't know
how many enemies on JudiciaryCopy !req
1017. we want to
make right now.Copy !req
1018. Both of you listen.Copy !req
1019. We're not going to stopCopy !req
1020. soften, detour, postpone,
circumvent, obfuscate or tradeCopy !req
1021. a single one of our goalsCopy !req
1022. to allow for whatever
extracurricular nonsenseCopy !req
1023. is coming our way in the next
few days, weeks and months.Copy !req
1024. When did we decide this?Copy !req
1025. Just now.Copy !req
1026. Light 'em up.Copy !req
1027. You got a recommendation for me?Copy !req
1028. 30 minutes Wednesday night.

1032. I give it to them
ten hours before.Copy !req
1033. And that's followed by
a press conference.Copy !req
1034. There isn't another step
we can takeCopy !req
1035. until we know what the
President's intentions are.Copy !req
1036. We need a discussion,

1041. C.J.:
That's great.Copy !req
1042. Good evening.Copy !req
1043. Sam, what do you know?Copy !req
1044. I know that fluid accumulatingCopy !req
1045. in the semicircular canals
of the vestibulo-cochlear nerveCopy !req
1046. is usually
what'll account for dizziness.Copy !req
1047. Leo, I want to stateCopy !req
1048. right here, right now,
in terms so plain and clear
as to command their assent...Copy !req
1049. We're having a meeting tonight.Copy !req
1050. The whole country is going
to assume he's not runningCopy !req
1051. when he announces
the thing.
We're having a meeting.Copy !req
1052. The press is
going to assume...
