1. Previously on The West Wing:
Copy !req
2. You go out with Zoey, you
better get your picture taken.
Copy !req
3. There's going to be
a lot of people not wild
Copy !req
4. about the sight of you
and the President's daughter.
Copy !req
5. Charlie, you've been
getting death threats.
Copy !req
6. Are they white supremacists?
Copy !req
7. I know what I'm looking for.
Copy !req
8. What happened?
Copy !req
9. It's a gunshot wound! No exit!
Copy !req
10. They didn't hit anything.
They'll make sure.
Copy !req
11. The guy the Secret Service have
in custody is named Carl Leroy.
Copy !req
12. Josh, a bullet collapsed
your lung.
Copy !req
13. I'm putting in a tube
to re-expand it.
Copy !req
14. They tried to kill the President
because Zoey and I are together.
Copy !req
15. No.
Copy !req
16. Charlie, the President
Copy !req
17. wasn't the target.
Copy !req
18. It's called The Theory
of Everything.
Copy !req
19. The Theory of Everything?
Copy !req
20. Yes.
Copy !req
21. Is it comprehensive?
Copy !req
22. C.J.!
Copy !req
23. That was a joke there,
pal of mine.
Copy !req
24. I want you to lead with it.
Copy !req
25. Carol, I'm missing
the OMB stats.
Copy !req
26. C.J., I want you
to lead with it.
Copy !req
27. I'm not going to lead with it.
Copy !req
28. Yes, you are.
Copy !req
29. Okay.
So you got it?
Copy !req
30. Sure.
Copy !req
31. You got what you're
supposed to say?
Copy !req
32. The EPA committee
won't be out till 3:00.
Copy !req
33. He's making me crazy.
Copy !req
34. You know, I heard that.
Copy !req
35. I understand
how a speaker phone works.
Copy !req
36. Say it for me.
Copy !req
37. Joshua, I have to get
to the briefing room.
Copy !req
38. Say it, please?
Copy !req
39. Psychics at Cal-Tech
Copy !req
40. and the Fermi National
Accelerator Lab
Copy !req
41. are close to announcing...
Copy !req
42. Physicists! Theoretical
physicists at Cal-Tech.
Copy !req
43. Not psychics?
Copy !req
44. No!
I should jot that down.
Copy !req
45. Please.
Copy !req
46. If it was psychics,
I'd lead with it.
Copy !req
47. C.J...
Copy !req
48. Talk to you later, mi amor.
Copy !req
49. I don't think you understand
how important this is...
Copy !req
50. Let Josh rant a little
before you hang up the phone.
Copy !req
51. C.J.?
Yes, ma'am?
Copy !req
52. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics is going
Copy !req
53. to report that the
CPI jumped 0.7 percent.
Copy !req
54. Okay.
Copy !req
55. It's the biggest
one-month increase
Copy !req
56. since the bureau began
tracking prices in '52.
Copy !req
57. All right, let me say this:
Copy !req
58. The market basket used
to calculate the CPI
is antiquated.
Copy !req
59. Say "outdated."
Copy !req
60. And doesn't include
regular household
items like computers...
Copy !req
61. Yes, the prices are
always dropping.
Copy !req
62. And it doesn't reflect
Copy !req
63. significant technical
improvements like airbags
in automobiles
Copy !req
64. which increase the price
of the car very slightly
Copy !req
65. but provide a much
greater value to
the consumer.
Copy !req
66. You've got all that?
Copy !req
67. Let's find out.
Copy !req
68. Look, C.J...
Leopold.
Copy !req
69. Mention the HUD secretary's
announcing changes
Copy !req
70. in the underwriting
criteria for the Federal
Housing Administration.
Copy !req
71. Well, the network's going
to want to break in
Copy !req
72. with special
coverage for that.
Copy !req
73. The adjustments are in
FHA-related lending.
Copy !req
74. They're going
to need time
Copy !req
75. to put together a logo
and theme music.
Copy !req
76. You know, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics...
Copy !req
77. reported the CPI
jump by 0.7 percent.
Copy !req
78. Thank you.
Copy !req
79. C.J.?
Copy !req
80. Oh, Holy Interruptus, Batman!
Copy !req
81. Grant Samuels died.
Copy !req
82. Really?
Yes.
Copy !req
83. He's really dead
this time?
Yeah.
Copy !req
84. Because last time
you told me he was
dead, he wasn't.
Copy !req
85. He's dead this time.
Copy !req
86. Somebody poked him
a little to see...
Copy !req
87. He died, C.J.!
Copy !req
88. Okay, then I shouldn't
have made a joke.
Copy !req
89. I'm almost certain
he's dead.
Copy !req
90. Sam!
I was making
a joke, too.
Copy !req
91. What, you work alone?
Copy !req
92. He's survived by his wife,
Eileen, son Robert
Copy !req
93. his two daughters Priscilla and
Patty, and eight grandchildren.
Copy !req
94. I won't learn
their names.
Copy !req
95. That's fine.
Copy !req
96. Eileen, Robert, Priscilla,
Patty, eight grandchildren.
Copy !req
97. I'm assuming it was
complications due to...
Yeah.
Copy !req
98. Do you know anything
about theoretical physics?
Copy !req
99. Ahhh, the Grand
Unified Theory.
Copy !req
100. Do you know
anything about it?
Copy !req
101. No.
Okay.
Copy !req
102. Folks, take your seats.
The briefing will start now.
Copy !req
103. Good morning, everybody.
Copy !req
104. I have to start
with a sad announcement.
Copy !req
105. Congressman Grant Samuels
finally succumbed
Copy !req
106. to pneumonia last night.
Copy !req
107. His wife, Eileen, his son,
Robert, his daughters
Copy !req
108. Priscilla and Patty
and his eight grandchildren
Copy !req
109. are all in the President's
thoughts today.
Copy !req
110. I also want to talk this morning
Copy !req
111. about the Bureau
of Labor Statistics
Copy !req
112. and the Federal Housing
Administration.
Copy !req
113. And as a special treat
for our friend, Josh Lyman
Copy !req
114. who is recovering
very nicely at GW
Copy !req
115. the President's science advisor
is telling us
Copy !req
116. that psychics at Cal-Tech
Copy !req
117. and the Fermi National
Accelerator Lab...
Copy !req
118. You know what?
Copy !req
119. I'm pretty sure that was
supposed to be physicists.
Copy !req
120. 81 percent.
Copy !req
121. Can you believe it?
Copy !req
122. C.J.:
And all we had
to do was get shot at.
Copy !req
123. 81%,
Those numbers are soft.
Copy !req
124. Do you think?
You don't?
Copy !req
125. A week ago, the
job approval's at 51
Copy !req
126. we get shot at,
it's at 81?
Copy !req
127. Yeah, I think
the numbers are soft.
Copy !req
128. Still, 81%.
Copy !req
129. Good morning, Mr. President.
Copy !req
130. Good morning, everybody.
Copy !req
131. Anybody know what
Copy !req
132. the word "acalculia" means?
Copy !req
133. It's an inability to perform
arithmetic functions.
Copy !req
134. I'm sorry,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
135. You wanted to answer
the question, didn't you?
Copy !req
136. Yeah, but I'll get over it.
Copy !req
137. That's very mature.
Copy !req
138. Shut up.
Copy !req
139. Not over it yet, are you?
Copy !req
140. No.
Okay.
Copy !req
141. Did we really
poll at 81%?
Copy !req
142. Those aren't internals.
It's CNN/USA Today.
Copy !req
143. That's soft.
No.
Copy !req
144. When asked, "Whose approach on
important national problems do
Copy !req
145. "you think is generally best
Copy !req
146. President Bartlet or the
Republican leaders of Congress?"
Copy !req
147. Bartlet gets 61%.
Copy !req
148. Well, 19% of the country
Copy !req
149. has clearly made up their minds
about me.
Copy !req
150. 20% just feel
sorry for me.
Copy !req
151. This is what you want
Copy !req
152. if you're the leader
of the free world.
Copy !req
153. Give us an overview.
Copy !req
154. We've got an
honest-to-God shot
Copy !req
155. at taking back the House.
Copy !req
156. Taking back the House
and possibly picking up
Copy !req
157. two seats net
in the Senate.
Copy !req
158. Two Governorships
and maybe six state houses.
Copy !req
159. Where should
we be looking?
Indiana, Sixth
Copy !req
160. California Fourth and 14th.
Copy !req
161. Michigan 12th.
Michigan 12th,
Texas 12th.
Copy !req
162. Florida four,
five, and nine.
Copy !req
163. They're won't elect
a Democrat in the
Florida Ninth.
Copy !req
164. I'm sorry.
Florida Eighth.
Copy !req
165. They won't elect a Democrat
there, either
Copy !req
166. but let's put some time into it.
What else?
Copy !req
167. I can hold
or you can call me back.
Copy !req
168. An inability to perform
arithmetic function.
Copy !req
169. Sure.
Copy !req
170. Apparently, there's
a specialized circuit
Copy !req
171. in the brain for numbers.
You know where it is?
Copy !req
172. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
173. It's in the left parietal lobe.
Copy !req
174. Thank you.
Hey, Zoey.
Copy !req
175. Hey, Margaret.
Where's Mrs. Landingham?
Copy !req
176. A funeral. The President's
in the Roosevelt Room.
Copy !req
177. I wasn't here
to see my father.
Copy !req
178. I was here to see him.
Copy !req
179. Do you know
what acalculia means?
Copy !req
180. Yes, because I got it
at breakfast.
Copy !req
181. Okay. Thank you.
Copy !req
182. Hey.
Copy !req
183. Hi.
Copy !req
184. Mrs. Landingham
asked me to ask you
Copy !req
185. to call Technical
Support and have them
look at her computer.
Copy !req
186. You're supposed
to ask for a man
Copy !req
187. named Andrew
Mackintosh
Copy !req
188. he's the only one
she trusts.
Copy !req
189. Mackintosh?
Copy !req
190. Like the apple.
Sure.
Copy !req
191. Thank you.
Copy !req
192. I called you
at home last night.
Copy !req
193. I didn't get
home till late.
Copy !req
194. Where were you?
I was here.
Copy !req
195. I called here, too.
Copy !req
196. I'm not lying
to you, Zoey.
Copy !req
197. I don't think you're
lying to me, Charlie.
Copy !req
198. I just think you were
either at home
Copy !req
199. or here and you
didn't return my call.
Copy !req
200. I was here. I didn't
get the message.
Copy !req
201. I was home, I got
the message.
Copy !req
202. I didn't return your call
because it was late.
Copy !req
203. I don't mind
being woken up.
Copy !req
204. Well, now I know that.
Copy !req
205. Now you know that?
Excuse me.
Copy !req
206. We have been dating
for nine months.
Copy !req
207. I've got to go
in there.
Copy !req
208. Cumberland, Monroe,
possibly Stanwyck.
Copy !req
209. Since you brought up
Cumberland and Monroe
Copy !req
210. can I say a word
about the shooting?
Copy !req
211. It's been a week and the
honeymoon's about to be over.
Copy !req
212. She's right.
Copy !req
213. We want to be sure it
doesn't look like we're
Copy !req
214. taking advantage
of the situation.
Copy !req
215. Why not?
Copy !req
216. Why not what?
Copy !req
217. The entire country was the
victim of domestic terrorism.
Copy !req
218. Why not use the soft numbers
before they disappear
Copy !req
219. and go after the guns
and go after the hate groups?
Copy !req
220. It doesn't look good.
Copy !req
221. It looks good to me.
Copy !req
222. Well, you work
for the White House, Toby.
Copy !req
223. I think we were counting
on your support either way.
Copy !req
224. Mr. President...
Copy !req
225. C.J., if you get questions
about the midterms
Copy !req
226. say we haven't thought
that far ahead
Copy !req
227. due to recent events.
Copy !req
228. And when they ask
Copy !req
229. about the linkage between
the approval numbers
Copy !req
230. and the shooting, the
President's deeply gratified
Copy !req
231. by the public support
Copy !req
232. but eager to focus
on the issues.
Copy !req
233. Which will be?
Copy !req
234. I'll let you know.
Copy !req
235. Thank you very much, everyone.
Copy !req
236. Thank you, Mr. President.
Copy !req
237. Mr. President.
Copy !req
238. It's fine.
Tell him around 3:00.
Copy !req
239. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
240. Was Zoey out there?
Copy !req
241. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
242. Is she still here?
Copy !req
243. I don't know, sir.
Okay.
Copy !req
244. Yes, sir?
Leo.
Copy !req
245. Did you know
Elliot Roush is running
Copy !req
246. for the school board
in Manchester?
Copy !req
247. I didn't, sir, but
then I don't know
Copy !req
248. who Elliot Roush is, so...
Copy !req
249. Elliot Roush.
Yes?
Copy !req
250. My Elliott Roush.
Copy !req
251. I'm sorry, sir,
but I'm still...
Copy !req
252. I beat him in my first
Congressional campaign.
Copy !req
253. I can't believe
I didn't commit
Copy !req
254. that piece of arcane
information to memory.
Copy !req
255. I want some polling numbers
on that race.
Copy !req
256. I don't want you
focusing your attention
Copy !req
257. on the school board race
in New Hampshire.
Copy !req
258. Yeah, looking
at two numbers on
a piece of paper
Copy !req
259. really takes
the life out me.
Copy !req
260. I know where
this is going.
Copy !req
261. Get me the numbers.
Copy !req
262. And let me tell
you something...
Copy !req
263. I'm ready to go
out there.
Copy !req
264. No.
Copy !req
265. I don't need to wait
another week.
Copy !req
266. Sir, let's play
a game
Copy !req
267. of "Who Do You Think
I'm Going to Agree With?"
Copy !req
268. 14 doctors say
you should wait
another week
Copy !req
269. before assuming
a campaign schedule.
Copy !req
270. Who do you think
I'm going to agree with?
Copy !req
271. Get away from me.
Copy !req
272. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
273. Sam.
Copy !req
274. Is he here?
Copy !req
275. Want me to
bring him back?
Copy !req
276. Uh, I'll go get
him myself.
Copy !req
277. Tom.
Copy !req
278. Sam, hello.
Copy !req
279. I hope you weren't
waiting too long.
Copy !req
280. No. I mean,
I don't mind.
Copy !req
281. Sam, this is
my wife, Sarah.
Copy !req
282. Hi.
Copy !req
283. It's nice to meet you.
You got married.
Copy !req
284. Two years, with a
baby on the way.
Copy !req
285. Is it his?
Copy !req
286. Uh, yeah!
Copy !req
287. Okay. Follow me.
Copy !req
288. Tom and I had a contracts
professor at Duke
Copy !req
289. who couldn't stand me.
Copy !req
290. "Those may be
your thoughts,
Mr. Seaborn
Copy !req
291. but that's
not the law."
Copy !req
292. If he knew how
many times I wanted
Copy !req
293. to tell him to take the law
and shove it up his...
Copy !req
294. Have you guys ever been
in the White House?
Copy !req
295. No.
Copy !req
296. We were looking forward
to a tour.
Copy !req
297. Ah. Well, that's
my office over there
Copy !req
298. and the President works
in that round room over there
Copy !req
299. and nobody else really matters.
Copy !req
300. Come on in.
Copy !req
301. This is the
Mural Room.
Copy !req
302. Can you tell us
anything about it?
Copy !req
303. It's called
the Mural Room.
Have a seat.
Copy !req
304. You know why I wanted
to talk to you?
Copy !req
305. I really don't.
Copy !req
306. Because the Democratic
Congressional Campaign
Committee asked me to.
Copy !req
307. Grant Samuels died
a few days ago.
Copy !req
308. Yeah, we saw
on the news.
Copy !req
309. He wasn't going
to be running again
Copy !req
310. anyway 'cause he
was pretty sick
Copy !req
311. and the man who
was going to be
running in his place...
Copy !req
312. Seymour Worthen.
Copy !req
313. Right, isn't going to.
Copy !req
314. Sy Worthen's not running?
Copy !req
315. Tom, you are a
phenomenally attractive
Democratic candidate
Copy !req
316. for that district.
Copy !req
317. There are 162 games
in a Major League
baseball season
Copy !req
318. and the players
have a saying:
Copy !req
319. "Every team's going
to win 54 games
Copy !req
320. "every team's going
to lose 54.
Copy !req
321. It's what you do
with the other 54
games that counts."
Copy !req
322. In your district,
you got Democrats
Copy !req
323. you got Republicans,
and the other 54
games are women.
Copy !req
324. Specifically,
young mothers
Copy !req
325. among whom the number-
one issue is crime.
Copy !req
326. You are a graduate
of Oberlin and
Duke Law School.
Copy !req
327. You passed up
many lucrative
opportunities
Copy !req
328. to work in
the DA's office.
Copy !req
329. You're a prosecutor
with an exceptional
conviction record
Copy !req
330. and certainly nobody can
hang "soft on crime"
around your neck.
Copy !req
331. You are active
in local politics.
Copy !req
332. You are personable.
You are articulate
and energetic.
Copy !req
333. You are married
and you are having a baby.
Copy !req
334. I thought you
didn't know that.
Copy !req
335. I'm sorry?
When we were
in the lobby
Copy !req
336. it seemed as if you didn't know
that Tom was married
Copy !req
337. and that there was a baby
on the way.
Copy !req
338. Now it sounded
like you had that information.
Copy !req
339. Sarah, there's very
little information
Copy !req
340. about your husband
that I don't have
Copy !req
341. and tell your mom
happy birthday for me.
Copy !req
342. Sam...
Copy !req
343. Tom, you will have
the full weight
Copy !req
344. of the Democratic
National Committee
Copy !req
345. the Congressional
Campaign Committee
Copy !req
346. the minority leader, whom we
hope to make the majority leader
Copy !req
347. and the President
of the United States.
Copy !req
348. What do you say? Do you want
to run for Congress?
Copy !req
349. Well, there's a lot
to consider, Sam.
Copy !req
350. How much time do I have
to think about it?
Copy !req
351. Five minutes. I'll be outside.
Copy !req
352. You're pissed at me?
Copy !req
353. I'm saying I could
have used your
support in there.
Copy !req
354. You get my support
the same way I get yours
Copy !req
355. when I agree with what
you're saying
Copy !req
356. or when I don't care
about what you're saying.
Copy !req
357. This time I disagreed.
Copy !req
358. You don't think we should
use this moment
Copy !req
359. to get aggressive
about guns and hate groups?
Copy !req
360. I think we were victims
of a violent crime
Copy !req
361. and it's unseemly to use
this moment at all.
Copy !req
362. We didn't get the
country drunk, C.J.
Copy !req
363. We're not taking
advantage of anybody.
Copy !req
364. And even if we
were, who cares?
Copy !req
365. Every Republican spending
the next 12 weeks
Copy !req
366. trying to keep control
of the House.
Copy !req
367. Toby, if you and
the FBI want to go
after hate groups
Copy !req
368. I'm not the one
you have to convince.
Copy !req
369. Go bag the
President.
I will.
Copy !req
370. I've gotten a lot of calls
about pieces people want to do
Copy !req
371. on how staffers are handling
the shooting in the aftermath.
Copy !req
372. Psychologically?
Copy !req
373. Yeah.
Copy !req
374. I don't think it's a good idea,
do you?
Copy !req
375. We're not the story.
Copy !req
376. That's what I'm saying.
Copy !req
377. Leave me alone.
Copy !req
378. I've got it.
Copy !req
379. I've got it, I've got it,
I've got it.
Copy !req
380. Bonnie, Ginger,
I've got it.
Copy !req
381. Excellent.
Copy !req
382. Way to go.
Copy !req
383. Sam.
Copy !req
384. Do you know what?
Copy !req
385. No.
Copy !req
386. Sam?
Copy !req
387. Sam?
Copy !req
388. Right here.
Copy !req
389. Oh, I thought you
were in there.
Copy !req
390. I wasn't.
Copy !req
391. I got it.
Copy !req
392. Got what?
Copy !req
393. How to avoid
the appearance
Copy !req
394. that we're randomly
and generically
Copy !req
395. going after
extremist groups
Copy !req
396. in violation
of their civil liberties.
Copy !req
397. We can avoid that
appearance by
not doing it.
Copy !req
398. Yes, or with this:
Copy !req
399. The shooting was the
action was the action
Copy !req
400. at least three
card-carrying members
Copy !req
401. of West Virginia
White Pride.
Copy !req
402. They have cards?
Copy !req
403. What?
Copy !req
404. They actually have
membership cards?
Copy !req
405. No, Sam, it's
an expression.
Copy !req
406. The key phrase
is that "at least"
at least three members
Copy !req
407. there might be more,
we don't know.
Copy !req
408. So therefore the FBI has
grounds to investigate?
Copy !req
409. Yes, to investigate
and curtail the activities
Copy !req
410. of all extremist
organizations.
Copy !req
411. Under the cover
of investigating
Copy !req
412. this one
particular crime?
Copy !req
413. How do we know
young Nazis
of Delaware
Copy !req
414. weren't co-conspirators?
Copy !req
415. It's not an uncommon
way to get around
the Bill of Rights.
Copy !req
416. I'm surprised it
took you three weeks
to come up with it.
Copy !req
417. Possibly because
I had no help
from anyone else
Copy !req
418. who works in this building.
Copy !req
419. Toby...
Copy !req
420. I'm taking it to Leo.
Copy !req
421. Knock yourself out.
Copy !req
422. Donna.
Copy !req
423. Yes?
Copy !req
424. Are you going
to see Josh?
Copy !req
425. I'm taking him
his lunch.
Copy !req
426. Can I come?
No.
Copy !req
427. Listen.
No.
Copy !req
428. Donna.
You know the rules.
Copy !req
429. The rules are dumb.
Copy !req
430. The rules are not dumb.
Copy !req
431. Donna, seriously.
Copy !req
432. He's recovering from
an attempted murder.
Copy !req
433. He's supposed
to be resting
Copy !req
434. and I don't want
people going
over there
Copy !req
435. getting him fuhtushed.
Copy !req
436. Fartoost.
Copy !req
437. Don't bring
the Yiddish
Copy !req
438. unless you know
what you're doing.
Copy !req
439. You know what word
should be Yiddish?
Copy !req
440. Spatula.
Also "far-fetched."
Copy !req
441. I need to talk
to him about...
Copy !req
442. the hate crimes
Copy !req
443. and how to bring
it to the President.
Copy !req
444. He's got the papers
you wrote.
Copy !req
445. He's got the materials
you sent him.
Copy !req
446. You talk to him
on the phone 93
times a day.
Copy !req
447. I would like to go
to his apartment
and talk to him.
Copy !req
448. No.
Copy !req
449. Donna.
Copy !req
450. Maybe if you hadn't said
the rules were dumb.
Copy !req
451. Yeah.
Copy !req
452. Hey, Leo.
Copy !req
453. Hey, kid.
Copy !req
454. I was looking for my father.
Copy !req
455. He's making campaign calls.
Copy !req
456. He's not
in the office.
Copy !req
457. He's making them
from the residence.
Copy !req
458. Why?
Copy !req
459. Your father has a very
Copy !req
460. strict interpretation
Copy !req
461. of something called
the Pendleton Act
Copy !req
462. which prohibits
campaign donations
Copy !req
463. to be solicited
on government property.
Copy !req
464. It's a little impractical
for the President
Copy !req
465. to step across the street
to use a pay phone, isn't it?
Copy !req
466. Exactly.
Copy !req
467. Isn't the residence
government property?
Copy !req
468. Yes.
Copy !req
469. Then why does he bother?
Copy !req
470. Because your father is
a demented, demented man.
Copy !req
471. I'm going over there.
Copy !req
472. Leo, these last
few weeks
Copy !req
473. do you feel
like Charlie...
Copy !req
474. Nope.
Copy !req
475. C.J.:
Sir.
Copy !req
476. 46 percent.
Copy !req
477. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
478. The guy is
polling at 46%.
Copy !req
479. I didn't think they
had polling data
Copy !req
480. on people running
for seats on the
Board of Education.
Copy !req
481. They don't.
Copy !req
482. I had to have our guys do it.
Copy !req
483. Do you think you're becoming
obsessed with this race?
Copy !req
484. He's polling at 46%.
He's not a joke.
Copy !req
485. He's polling inside the margin.
Copy !req
486. In a race for
the Board of Education
Copy !req
487. in a school district
that has 43 kids.
Copy !req
488. It has 1,100 kids.
Copy !req
489. You don't take
these people seriously
Copy !req
490. because they don't get
anywhere nationally
Copy !req
491. but they don't have to.
Copy !req
492. All they have to do
is bit by little bit
Copy !req
493. get themselves on
the boards of education
Copy !req
494. and city councils
Copy !req
495. because that's where
all the governing
Copy !req
496. that really matters
to anybody happens.
Copy !req
497. We do a little governing,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
498. I'm on hold with a guy whose
name I got on an index card.
Copy !req
499. How much governing do you think
is going on around here today?
Copy !req
500. And can you believe
I'm on hold?
Copy !req
501. You're not, sir.
You finished the call.
Copy !req
502. I did?
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
503. How'd it go?
Copy !req
504. Very well.
Copy !req
505. Good morning, Mr. President.
Copy !req
506. Elliot Roush is now
polling at 46%.
Copy !req
507. How do you know?
Copy !req
508. I had our...
people check.
Copy !req
509. I have three
daughters
Copy !req
510. who grew up in
that school district.
Copy !req
511. Leave Elliot Roush alone.
You beat him already.
Copy !req
512. And he has come back,
like crabgrass
Copy !req
513. pulled from the lawn,
not by the root
Copy !req
514. but by the other thing.
Copy !req
515. I stopped by to see
how the calls are going.
Copy !req
516. They're going fine.
Then I'll leave.
Copy !req
517. Can't tell you how much
I'm going to miss you.
Copy !req
518. You wanted to talk to me?
Copy !req
519. Not if you're
in this mood.
Copy !req
520. This is real.
Copy !req
521. And a man who makes
the Spanish Inquisition
Copy !req
522. look like
a Barbara Walters special
Copy !req
523. is now polling at 46%
in your school district
Copy !req
524. for which I
have personally
Copy !req
525. baked things to raise money.
Copy !req
526. You can go, too.
Copy !req
527. You baked things?
Copy !req
528. You can go.
Copy !req
529. Thank you, Mr. President.
Copy !req
530. What do you want?
Copy !req
531. Dad...
Copy !req
532. The calls are
going well.
Copy !req
533. Good.
Copy !req
534. Listen, Leo, we're
still getting asked
Copy !req
535. to participate
in aftermath stories.
Copy !req
536. Psychological effects?
Copy !req
537. Yeah, I was wondering...
Copy !req
538. Don't do it.
Copy !req
539. No, I know that,
but I was wondering...
Copy !req
540. You were wondering what?
Copy !req
541. This isn't going
to be good.
Copy !req
542. You were
wondering what?
Copy !req
543. Don't worry about it.
Copy !req
544. Okay.
Copy !req
545. Hey, it's C.J. Cregg.
Copy !req
546. Step 3: Public disclosure of
membership and contributor rolls
Copy !req
547. for all organizations
Copy !req
548. on the Attorney General's
list of hate groups.
Copy !req
549. This allows the
American public
Copy !req
550. to know who these
people are
Copy !req
551. and where their
funding is coming from.
Copy !req
552. Yes, and to do it
in blatant violation
Copy !req
553. of their Right
to Free Association.
Copy !req
554. Laws like that
were passed in the South
Copy !req
555. during the Civil Rights
movement to root out members
Copy !req
556. of such terrorist
organizations
as the NAACP.
Copy !req
557. I knew you were
going to say that.
Copy !req
558. The Supreme Court struck
down those laws
as unconstitutional.
Copy !req
559. That was an
ultra-activist
Warren Court
Copy !req
560. that struck
down those laws.
Copy !req
561. I think they'd see it
differently today.
Copy !req
562. Toby, you're
an ultra-activist.
Copy !req
563. And I was shot at
and so I'm acting
Copy !req
564. right now!
Copy !req
565. Sam.
Copy !req
566. He wants everyone
to have to register affiliation
Copy !req
567. with the FBI.
Copy !req
568. Any problems with
the First Amendment?
Copy !req
569. I'll get around them.
Copy !req
570. I need to talk to you.
Copy !req
571. What's up?
Copy !req
572. There's a problem
with your friend.
Copy !req
573. Which friend?
Copy !req
574. Tom Jordan, the guy
you've got running in...
Copy !req
575. What's the problem?
Copy !req
576. His prosecutorial record.
Copy !req
577. It's great.
Copy !req
578. Not during jury selection.
Copy !req
579. Preemptive challenges?
Copy !req
580. Your friend likes
white juries for
his black defendants.
Copy !req
581. He's a prosecutor, C.J..
Copy !req
582. Not anymore.
Copy !req
583. Now he's a politician
and this needs a save
Copy !req
584. so get into it,
would you?
Copy !req
585. Yeah.
Copy !req
586. Do we know how Tokyo opened?
Copy !req
587. I thought it was up
three-eighths against the yen
Copy !req
588. but let me check
with somebody.
Copy !req
589. Is that it for me?
Copy !req
590. No sir, you've got
Copy !req
591. four or five phone calls
still to make.
Copy !req
592. Wyman, Frank Gates
and MacNamara?
Copy !req
593. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
594. Those are campaign calls.
Copy !req
595. Mr. President
Copy !req
596. why don't you stay
in your office
Copy !req
597. and make the damn...
Copy !req
598. Because I choose not to,
Charlie.
Copy !req
599. Because however
an empty gesture it may seem
Copy !req
600. I would like to take some
Executive notice of the notion
Copy !req
601. that it's probably not
a good idea
Copy !req
602. for the most powerful and
influential person in the world
Copy !req
603. to be calling up the people
whose laws he signs
Copy !req
604. and asking them for money!
Copy !req
605. I'm going to do it
Copy !req
606. but not behind this desk,
not in this room.
Copy !req
607. What else?
Copy !req
608. I was asked to tell you
that an event was added
Copy !req
609. for Tuesday the 7th—
Copy !req
610. a reception for
talk radio, hosts.
Copy !req
611. I guess they're called,
talk radio.
Copy !req
612. It's three weeks away.
Copy !req
613. You don't need
to commit right now.
Copy !req
614. Yeah.
Copy !req
615. I'm going to make these calls
from the residence.
Copy !req
616. Tell C.J. I want
to see her in an hour.
Copy !req
617. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
618. Hello.
Copy !req
619. Are you a Cabinet Secretary?
Copy !req
620. Can you tell me
your name?
Copy !req
621. Jeffrey.
Copy !req
622. Jeffrey what?
Copy !req
623. Jeffrey Mackintosh.
Copy !req
624. Like the apple?
Copy !req
625. Yeah.
Copy !req
626. You're here
with your dad?
Copy !req
627. Excuse me, I'm sorry.
Copy !req
628. Jeffrey when I tell you
to sit and stay put
Copy !req
629. you know what
I need you to do?
Copy !req
630. That. I need you
to do that
Copy !req
631. not some variation
on that, but that.
Copy !req
632. Sorry.
Copy !req
633. Sorry. Okay, see, now
I've got to make you
Copy !req
634. rewire the house.
Copy !req
635. I'm Andrew Mackintosh.
I'm from Technical Support.
Copy !req
636. I'm installing some
new software...
Copy !req
637. Yeah, I thought that
was a few weeks ago.
Copy !req
638. It was, but there
were some bugs.
Copy !req
639. I hope nobody minds.
Copy !req
640. They said it was okay
for me to bring my son.
Copy !req
641. My wife works some nights.
Copy !req
642. Sure.
Copy !req
643. Let's go, big man.
Copy !req
644. Take it easy, Jeffrey.
Copy !req
645. Take it easy.
Copy !req
646. Hey, man.
Copy !req
647. Hey.
Copy !req
648. Leo?
Copy !req
649. Oh, Sam, come in,
close the door.
Copy !req
650. What's going on?
Copy !req
651. Josh is on the speaker.
Copy !req
652. Hey, Sam.
Copy !req
653. What's going on?
Copy !req
654. A guy who went
to college
Copy !req
655. with Tom Jordan says he belonged
Copy !req
656. to an all white fraternity.
Copy !req
657. The local papers are going
to carry it tomorrow.
Copy !req
658. I checked that
out weeks ago.
Copy !req
659. It wasn't an
exclusive fraternity.
Copy !req
660. They just didn't have
any black pledges.
Copy !req
661. Still.
Copy !req
662. It's not uncommon
on a college campus
Copy !req
663. to have black fraternities
and white fraternities.
Copy !req
664. Yeah, but you put this together
with the preemptive challenges
Copy !req
665. in voir dire and
serious leaders
Copy !req
666. in the African-American
community have a problem.
Copy !req
667. I'll talk to them.
Nah.
Copy !req
668. Leo...
No, it's over, Sam.
Copy !req
669. I'm going to...
No.
Copy !req
670. cancel the President's stop
and shut down the money.
Copy !req
671. You can't cut
and run.
Copy !req
672. We don't have a choice, Sam.
Copy !req
673. Of course we
have a choice.
Copy !req
674. We've got a chance at the House.
Copy !req
675. We've got three weeks left.
Copy !req
676. Put the President and money
Copy !req
677. where they can win.
Copy !req
678. Tom Jordan is running
against a man who...
Copy !req
679. You don't have to tell me.
Copy !req
680. We're handing it to him.
Copy !req
681. Which will matter less
Copy !req
682. if we get back to the House.
Copy !req
683. Jordan is down by seven
Copy !req
684. and he's not going
to come back from this.
Copy !req
685. Not only that,
but we stand by him
Copy !req
686. this is a national thing.
Copy !req
687. It could drag down
black turnout
Copy !req
688. in districts
where we're competitive.
Copy !req
689. I told him...
Copy !req
690. Yeah.
Copy !req
691. I told him we would
stand by him.
Copy !req
692. I told him he would have
our full support.
Copy !req
693. I was the one who asked
him to run.
Copy !req
694. I know.
Copy !req
695. We walk away and that's it—
he's a racist.
Copy !req
696. The White House just said so.
Copy !req
697. We can't afford all the things
we want, Sam.
Copy !req
698. It's over.
Copy !req
699. Hey, Leo, you know,
there's something called
Copy !req
700. the Superstring Theory
Copy !req
701. which at its most basic level
says that the universe
Copy !req
702. consists of these tiny loops
of string
Copy !req
703. that vibrate
at different frequencies.
Copy !req
704. How did that bullet
not kill you?
Copy !req
705. Just lucky, I guess.
Copy !req
706. Yeah.
Copy !req
707. Toby?
Copy !req
708. Yeah.
Copy !req
709. Any chance I could see
an advance copy
Copy !req
710. of the President's remarks
Copy !req
711. for Asia-Pacific?
Copy !req
712. Um, what?
Copy !req
713. Asia-Pacific?
Copy !req
714. I have a draft here.
Copy !req
715. I'm going to rewrite it.
Copy !req
716. I thought I was
going to have it by
the end of the day.
Copy !req
717. The day's not over yet.
Copy !req
718. You know, Toby
Copy !req
719. these pieces
everyone wants to do
Copy !req
720. on the psychological
aftermath of the shooting
Copy !req
721. for the staff,
they've had me
thinking.
Copy !req
722. Do you think there might be
a psychological aftermath
Copy !req
723. and we're not paying
attention to it?
Copy !req
724. C.J., I really don't have time
to have this conversation.
Copy !req
725. I'm saying I think
you should have
Copy !req
726. this conversation
with somebody.
Copy !req
727. My problem is psychological?
Copy !req
728. You're Director
of Communications
Copy !req
729. and you've been
ignoring operational
responsibilities.
Copy !req
730. That's crap.
Copy !req
731. So you can behave like
the director of the FBI.
Copy !req
732. I'm waiting for the Director
of the FBI to behave that way.
Copy !req
733. Toby.
Copy !req
734. I'm waiting for
the Justice Department.
Copy !req
735. I'm waiting
for Congress
to behave that way.
Copy !req
736. I'm waiting for the White House
to behave that way!
Copy !req
737. You want to lock
up everybody with
a white sheet?
Copy !req
738. Yes I do, yes I do.
Who has a problem with that?
Copy !req
739. Bring them to me
right now. Yes, I do!
Copy !req
740. He's ready for me?
Copy !req
741. In the residence.
Copy !req
742. Thank you.
Copy !req
743. I'll be here for awhile
Copy !req
744. so whenever you can get
me Asia-Pacific...
Copy !req
745. Give me an hour.
Copy !req
746. Come in.
Copy !req
747. Good evening,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
748. Hi, C.J..
Copy !req
749. Charlie said you
wanted to see me.
Copy !req
750. Yeah.
Copy !req
751. Why has there been
no press mention
Copy !req
752. of the fact that Elliot Roush
Copy !req
753. was an opponent of mine
in New Hampshire?
Copy !req
754. Elliot Roush is the man...?
Copy !req
755. He's running
for a seat
Copy !req
756. on the School Board up in...
Copy !req
757. Yes sir, I'm sure
it's gotten
local coverage.
Copy !req
758. I can have the News Office
run...
Copy !req
759. Why isn't it
Copy !req
760. more than local?
Copy !req
761. It's a school board seat.
Copy !req
762. It's a human interest story.
Copy !req
763. Not a very interesting one.
Copy !req
764. I'm saying, if anyone
in the press room
Copy !req
765. wanted to do this story
Copy !req
766. that I would comment
on the record.
Copy !req
767. Sir...
Copy !req
768. the President can't
publicly take sides
Copy !req
769. in a local school board
election.
Copy !req
770. Why can't he?
Copy !req
771. Because it's not done
Copy !req
772. and it's not fair.
Copy !req
773. It's personal
and it's irresponsible.
Copy !req
774. It will galvanize
Republicans
Copy !req
775. and Democrats in Congress
will think you've abandoned them
Copy !req
776. that you don't care about
winning back the House.
Copy !req
777. I don't care about
winning back the House.
Copy !req
778. Mr. President...
Copy !req
779. I don't care about
Copy !req
780. winning back
the House!
Copy !req
781. Well, I don't believe
that's true.
Copy !req
782. So let's just keep
that between you and me.
Copy !req
783. C.J., I've known men
of faith in my life.
Copy !req
784. Towering men.
Copy !req
785. Men of wisdom
and compassion.
Copy !req
786. Men of all faiths,
of healing and peace.
Copy !req
787. Pro-choice, pro-life
Copy !req
788. Republican, Democrat,
men and women of God.
Copy !req
789. Elliot Roush...
Copy !req
790. is polling at 53%.
Copy !req
791. He's polling at 53%.
Copy !req
792. He's the front-runner.
Copy !req
793. Then that's the way it is.
Copy !req
794. In a democracy, oftentimes
other people win.
Copy !req
795. Yeah.
Copy !req
796. It was just a thought.
Copy !req
797. But I mean, obviously,
you're right.
Copy !req
798. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
799. Thanks.
Copy !req
800. Thank you,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
801. Ginger?
Copy !req
802. They're still too
close to call.
Copy !req
803. All twelve?
Copy !req
804. Yes.
Copy !req
805. Hey, get me somebody
in the Midwest, would you?
Copy !req
806. I want to see
everybody
on telephones.
Copy !req
807. Okay, good,
just like that.
Copy !req
808. God, Tom, Sarah...
Copy !req
809. I'm sorry,
I forgot I was...
Copy !req
810. I'm sorry I'm late.
Copy !req
811. I'm glad you could make it.
Copy !req
812. It was no problem
coming, Sam.
Copy !req
813. It turns out there was
really no reason for us
Copy !req
814. to stay in our district
on Election Day.
Copy !req
815. Yeah, you've seen the exits.
Copy !req
816. You're going to lose, Tom.
Copy !req
817. No kidding?
Copy !req
818. Probably 58-42.
Copy !req
819. Yeah.
Copy !req
820. Forty-two percent's
a very respectable number.
Copy !req
821. The district's 49% Democrat,
Sam.
Copy !req
822. Well, we'll
get them next time.
Copy !req
823. Shut up.
Copy !req
824. Sarah...
Copy !req
825. There's not going to be
a next time, so shut up!
Copy !req
826. Not even a word
from the White House.
Copy !req
827. Not even a word.
Copy !req
828. That's how we do it.
Copy !req
829. Sam...
Copy !req
830. Any time we have
the opportunity
Copy !req
831. in the future to screw you...
Copy !req
832. count on getting screwed.
Copy !req
833. Good luck with the baby.
Copy !req
834. No, no, that was K-TALK
out of Minneapolis.
Copy !req
835. You're thinking
of SLAM-100
Copy !req
836. serving the
Great Lakes region—
Copy !req
837. "The number one station
with the number one sound."
Copy !req
838. But then it was
classic rock
Copy !req
839. or at least what
our program director
Copy !req
840. thought was classic rock,
Fleetwood Mac and whatnot.
Copy !req
841. Then they switched over
to news and information
Copy !req
842. back in '82?
Copy !req
843. '82, '83.
Copy !req
844. Yeah, we started
with drive time
Copy !req
845. then went to
the four-hour format.
Copy !req
846. Say, is Howard
showing up today?
Copy !req
847. Stern...
Copy !req
848. I heard he was
going to show up
Copy !req
849. if Imus was coming,
and Imus wasn't showing
up if Howard was coming.
Copy !req
850. By the way, I was
"Dave in the Morning"
Copy !req
851. before he was
"Imus in the morning"
Copy !req
852. but that's water
under the bridge.
Copy !req
853. Isn't Don Imus
in his seventies?
Copy !req
854. I believe so, yes.
Copy !req
855. How were you "Dave
in the Morning"
Copy !req
856. before he was
"Imus in the Morning"?
Copy !req
857. It's very painful.
Copy !req
858. I don't like
to talk about it...
Copy !req
859. Okay...
Copy !req
860. Fellas, I'm sorry,
but it's Election Day
Copy !req
861. and I need to check in
with the exit polls...
Copy !req
862. Sure.
Copy !req
863. and whatnot.
Copy !req
864. Good meeting you both.
Copy !req
865. Good talking
to you, C.J.
Copy !req
866. Who's that?
Copy !req
867. Jenna Jacobs.
Copy !req
868. That's Jenna Jacobs?
Copy !req
869. Yeah, she changed
her hair.
Copy !req
870. What's the latest?
Copy !req
871. Twelve races
too close to call
Copy !req
872. Thompson, Marinovich...
Copy !req
873. I'm going
to go check in.
Copy !req
874. Good evening,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
875. Toby, I'm drinking
the most fantastic thing
Copy !req
876. I've ever tasted
in my life—
Copy !req
877. chocolate syrup,
cold milk, and seltzer.
Copy !req
878. I know it sounds terrible,
but trust me
Copy !req
879. I don't know where
this has been all my life.
Copy !req
880. It's called
an egg cream
Copy !req
881. Mr. President.
Copy !req
882. We invented it in Brooklyn.
Copy !req
883. In Brooklyn.
Copy !req
884. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
885. Not New England?
Copy !req
886. There are some good things
in this world
Copy !req
887. not from New England, sir.
Copy !req
888. Toby, don't ever let me
hear you say that again.
Copy !req
889. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
890. What's on your mind?
Copy !req
891. Mr. President,
I was thinking...
Copy !req
892. I was thinking it might...
Copy !req
893. You want to take
a leave of absence?
Copy !req
894. I was thinking I might need
some time off, yes, sir.
Copy !req
895. That's no problem, Toby.
Copy !req
896. Okay.
Copy !req
897. It's not a problem at all.
Copy !req
898. Thank you, sir.
Copy !req
899. Fifteen minutes.
Copy !req
900. It's time to get up
off the mat, Toby.
Copy !req
901. Sir, what's so wrong with having
the Attorney General
Copy !req
902. designate potentially
dangerous organizations...
Copy !req
903. Toby.
Copy !req
904. that promote violent acts?
Copy !req
905. I-I understand
it's problematic
Copy !req
906. that there'd be no judicial
review or legislative oversight
Copy !req
907. or even, for that matter...
Copy !req
908. legal finding of fact, but...
Copy !req
909. Okay, fine, fine.
Copy !req
910. Why does it feel like this?
Copy !req
911. I've seen shootings before.
Copy !req
912. It wasn't a shooting, Toby.
Copy !req
913. It was a lynching.
Copy !req
914. They tried to lynch Charlie
right in front of our eyes
Copy !req
915. can you believe that?
Copy !req
916. What's this?
Copy !req
917. Keyhole satellite photographs.
Copy !req
918. It's the Headquarters
for West Virginia White Pride.
Copy !req
919. Headquarters...
Copy !req
920. It's a diner outside Blacksburg.
Copy !req
921. Every night for
the last 12 weeks
Copy !req
922. I've picked up the phone
Copy !req
923. and called the Attorney General
Copy !req
924. fully prepared to say two words:
Take 'em.
Copy !req
925. And then I hang up the phone
because I know
Copy !req
926. it'll be better tomorrow,
and better the day after that.
Copy !req
927. We saw a lynching, Toby,
that's why it feels like this.
Copy !req
928. I'm not sure I'm going
Copy !req
929. to come out of the other side
of this thing.
Copy !req
930. I'm not sure I can, either.
Copy !req
931. But until we are sure
Copy !req
932. I think we should keep coming
to work every day.
Copy !req
933. How's it going with
your school board guy?
Copy !req
934. Yeah, he's going to win.
Copy !req
935. When you ran against him,
how did you beat him?
Copy !req
936. I don't remember.
Copy !req
937. I've been thinking about it
for weeks
Copy !req
938. but I honestly don't remember.
Copy !req
939. Excuse me,
Mr. President,
good evening.
Copy !req
940. Hey, Sam.
Copy !req
941. I wasn't sure
whether you'd be stopping by
Copy !req
942. the talk radio reception.
Copy !req
943. I scratched out
a few remarks for you.
Copy !req
944. Let me look at them
while we walk.
Copy !req
945. Toby, go with us
to this radio thing.
Copy !req
946. Oh, God, really sir?
Copy !req
947. There'll be crab puffs.
Copy !req
948. New England crab puffs,
by the way
Copy !req
949. made in New England.
Copy !req
950. Actually, it's
Alaskan crab, sir.
Copy !req
951. There's Alaskan crab
in this White House?
Copy !req
952. He would've known
the difference?
Copy !req
953. Have you tried them?
Copy !req
954. I... yes, reluctantly.
Copy !req
955. I think it was clear
in the way I ate
the crab puffs
Copy !req
956. that it was a
gesture of protest.
Copy !req
957. Were they good?
Copy !req
958. Extraordinarily good,
they're going very fast.
Copy !req
959. Let's get there.
Copy !req
960. I call myself
Gary with a "G."
Copy !req
961. How else would you spell Gary?
Copy !req
962. No other way,
I'm saying
Copy !req
963. that's what I call myself:
Copy !req
964. "Gary with a "G," talking
to you on K.A.D.R. A.M."
Copy !req
965. Like Liza with a "Z."
Copy !req
966. Exactly.
Copy !req
967. Hokey?
Copy !req
968. Maybe so, but I have
Copy !req
969. 900,000 listeners
in the Rocky
Mountain region.
Copy !req
970. Would you excuse me?
Mmm.
Copy !req
971. Excuse me, ladies
and gentlemen.
Copy !req
972. Ladies and gentlemen
Copy !req
973. the President of
the United States.
Copy !req
974. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
975. Thanks a lot.
Copy !req
976. I wish I could spend more
than a few minutes with you
Copy !req
977. but the polls don't close
in the east for another hour
Copy !req
978. and there are plenty of election
results still left to falsify.
Copy !req
979. You know, with so many people
participating
Copy !req
980. in the political and social
debate through call-in shows
Copy !req
981. it's a good idea to be reminded
every once in a while...
Copy !req
982. It's a good idea to be reminded
of the awesome impact...
Copy !req
983. of the awesome impact...
Copy !req
984. I'm sorry, you're
Dr. Jenna Jacobs, right?
Copy !req
985. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
986. It's good to
have you here.
Copy !req
987. Thank you.
Copy !req
988. The awesome impact
of the airwaves
Copy !req
989. and how that translates
Copy !req
990. into the furthering
of our national discussions...
Copy !req
991. but obviously, also,
how it can...
Copy !req
992. how it can...
Copy !req
993. Forgive me, Dr. Jacobs,
are you an M.D.?
Copy !req
994. A Ph.D.
Copy !req
995. A Ph.D.?
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
996. In psychology?
Copy !req
997. No, sir.
Copy !req
998. Theology?
Copy !req
999. No.
Copy !req
1000. Social work?
Copy !req
1001. I have a Ph.D.
in English literature.
Copy !req
1002. I'm asking 'cause
on your show
Copy !req
1003. people call in for advice
Copy !req
1004. and you go by the name
Copy !req
1005. Dr. Jacobs,
on your show
Copy !req
1006. and I didn't know
Copy !req
1007. if maybe your listeners
were confused by that and
Copy !req
1008. assumed you had advanced
training in psychology
Copy !req
1009. theology, or
healthcare.
Copy !req
1010. I don't believe
they are confused, no, sir.
Copy !req
1011. Good.
Copy !req
1012. I like your show.
Copy !req
1013. I like how you
call homosexuality
an abomination.
Copy !req
1014. I don't say
homosexuality
Copy !req
1015. is an abomination,
Mr. President.
Copy !req
1016. The Bible does.
Copy !req
1017. Yes it does, Leviticus.
Copy !req
1018. 18:22.
Copy !req
1019. Chapter and verse.
Copy !req
1020. I wanted to ask you
Copy !req
1021. a couple of questions
while I had you here.
Copy !req
1022. I'm interested in
selling my youngest
daughter into slavery
Copy !req
1023. as sanctioned
in Exodus 21:7.
Copy !req
1024. She's a Georgetown
sophomore, speaks
fluent Italian
Copy !req
1025. always cleared the table
when it was her turn.
Copy !req
1026. What would a good
price for her be?
Copy !req
1027. While thinking about
that, can I ask another?
Copy !req
1028. My Chief of Staff,
Leo McGarry
Copy !req
1029. insists on working
on the Sabbath.
Copy !req
1030. Exodus 35:2 clearly says
he should be put to death.
Copy !req
1031. Am I morally obligated
to kill him myself
Copy !req
1032. or is it okay to
call the police?
Copy !req
1033. Here's one that's
really important
Copy !req
1034. 'cause we've got
a lot of sports
fans in this town.
Copy !req
1035. Touching the skin of a dead pig
makes one unclean.
Copy !req
1036. Leviticus 11:7.
Copy !req
1037. If they promise to wear gloves,
can the Washington Redskins
Copy !req
1038. still play football, can
Notre Dame, can West Point?
Copy !req
1039. Does the whole
town really have
to be together
Copy !req
1040. to stone my brother, John
Copy !req
1041. for planting different crops,
side by side?
Copy !req
1042. Can I burn my mother
in a small family gathering
Copy !req
1043. for wearing garments
made from two
different threads?
Copy !req
1044. Think about those questions,
would you?
Copy !req
1045. One last thing.
Copy !req
1046. While you may be mistaking this
Copy !req
1047. for your monthly meeting
of the ignorant tight-ass club
Copy !req
1048. in this building,
when the President stands
Copy !req
1049. nobody sits.
Copy !req
1050. Toby.
Copy !req
1051. Yes, Mr. President.
Copy !req
1052. That's how I beat him.
Copy !req
1053. I'm just...
Copy !req
1054. I'm just going to
take that crab puff.
Copy !req
1055. Do you want
one of my animal crackers?
Copy !req
1056. I have... elephants
Copy !req
1057. and I have lions.
Copy !req
1058. You bugging the man?
Copy !req
1059. No, we're okay.
Copy !req
1060. Software problem again?
Copy !req
1061. I think I got it.
Copy !req
1062. Just want
to run a few programs
Copy !req
1063. and, then,
I'll be out of here.
Copy !req
1064. Pretty busy day
around here, huh?
Copy !req
1065. Yeah.
Copy !req
1066. My name's Charlie Young,
by the way.
Copy !req
1067. Don't think I know
who you are—
Copy !req
1068. man who almost got
the President killed?
Copy !req
1069. Yeah.
Copy !req
1070. That's going to look good
on my resume.
Copy !req
1071. I'll just be a minute.
Copy !req
1072. My mother used to work nights,
too.
Copy !req
1073. I'm sorry?
Copy !req
1074. My mother used to work nights,
too.
Copy !req
1075. Oh. Was she a nurse?
Copy !req
1076. A police officer.
Copy !req
1077. Is she gone?
Copy !req
1078. She was shot and killed
in the line
Copy !req
1079. a year ago June.
Copy !req
1080. Ironically, she wasn't supposed
to be on the shift.
Copy !req
1081. She switched shifts that day
'cause I asked her to.
Copy !req
1082. Hey, Charlie, um...
Copy !req
1083. you know what I think she'd say
if she was here right now?
Copy !req
1084. What?
Copy !req
1085. Same thing my father would say.
Copy !req
1086. "If they're shooting at you
Copy !req
1087. you know you're doing
something right."
Copy !req
1088. Yeah.
Copy !req
1089. Yeah.
Copy !req
1090. Yeah.
Copy !req
1091. Excuse me.
Copy !req
1092. Aren't you Zoey Bartlet?
Copy !req
1093. It's too much to happen
to someone your age—
Copy !req
1094. your father and your
mother... and this.
Copy !req
1095. I don't know, I...
Copy !req
1096. Charlie, I mean...
Copy !req
1097. What do you do?
Copy !req
1098. I was going to go vote.
Copy !req
1099. I could come.
Copy !req
1100. Yeah.
Copy !req
1101. Hi.
Copy !req
1102. Hi, Leo.
Copy !req
1103. Uh, Charlie,
I'm looking for the President.
Copy !req
1104. Is anything wrong?
Copy !req
1105. No, no.
I, um...
Copy !req
1106. I think he may have done
a couple of numbers
Copy !req
1107. at the talk-radio reception.
Copy !req
1108. Okay.
Zoey and I are going out.
Copy !req
1109. I'll be on my pager.
Copy !req
1110. You're going out?
Copy !req
1111. Yeah.
Charlie, you're taking
extra protection, right?
Copy !req
1112. Hey, Leo, I...
Copy !req
1113. Secret Service protection,
Charlie
Copy !req
1114. but thanks for loading me up
with that image.
Copy !req
1115. Yeah, we'll have
extra protection.
Copy !req
1116. Okay.
Copy !req
1117. Something
about a dead pig's skin.
Copy !req
1118. I need to find him.
Copy !req
1119. Okay.
Copy !req
1120. Everybody should have
to stay inside for three months
Copy !req
1121. so that they truly appreciate
the outdoors.
Copy !req
1122. I appreciate the outdoors now.
Copy !req
1123. I'm an outdoorsman.
Copy !req
1124. Josh?
Yeah?
Copy !req
1125. I said I'd
let you outside
Copy !req
1126. if you stopped talking
about being an outdoorsman
Copy !req
1127. and if you
stopped talking
Copy !req
1128. about theoretical... physics.
Copy !req
1129. Aha! You thought I'd forget
about it, didn't you?
Copy !req
1130. Banner headline
five days ago—
Copy !req
1131. "Model for
the Unified Theory Solved."
Copy !req
1132. Banner headline
in the New York Times.
Copy !req
1133. You said it wasn't
going to be news.
Copy !req
1134. Hey, you're wearing
my pajamas.
Copy !req
1135. Yes, I am.
Take your coat off.
Copy !req
1136. Let me see.
Copy !req
1137. Those are too big.
Copy !req
1138. Yes, they are.
Copy !req
1139. All this time I've been working
with you
Copy !req
1140. did you also think
I was playing
Copy !req
1141. power forward
for the Cleveland Cavaliers?
Copy !req
1142. I think they look
good on you.
Copy !req
1143. I think
you're both freaks.
Copy !req
1144. What do you have?
Copy !req
1145. You're not going
to believe it.
Copy !req
1146. How'd they go?
Copy !req
1147. 12 races—
Copy !req
1148. in none of them
did the incumbent win.
Copy !req
1149. In none of them
did the party
Copy !req
1150. that previously
held the seat win.
Copy !req
1151. You know how it went?
Copy !req
1152. Seven/five.
Copy !req
1153. You're kidding.
Copy !req
1154. Seven Republicans,
five Democrats?
Copy !req
1155. Yeah.
Copy !req
1156. The House stayed the same?
Copy !req
1157. After... four months
and $400 million
Copy !req
1158. everything stayed the same?
Copy !req
1159. Yep.
Copy !req
1160. Tell me democracy doesn't have
a sense of humor.
Copy !req
1161. We sit here, we drink this beer
out here on this stoop
Copy !req
1162. in violation of about...
47 city ordinances...
Copy !req
1163. I don't know, Toby,
it's election night.
Copy !req
1164. What do you say
about a government
Copy !req
1165. that goes out of its way
Copy !req
1166. to protect even citizens
that try to destroy it?
