121. as they were
meant to do.

149. Don't tell the President

151. Yes, I'm sure upon
hearing the newsCopy !req
152. you're free, the President
of the United StatesCopy !req
153. will insist that you
join him for dinner.Copy !req
154. I'm just saying,
we've been working hardCopy !req
155. and we'd prefer
to watch footballCopy !req
156. rather than listenCopy !req
157. to a history
of the yam in Latin.Copy !req
158. Brief C.J.Copy !req
159. Yeah.Copy !req
160. Hey.Copy !req

temporary interment campCopy !req
166. in San Diego.Copy !req
167. I'll need more than that.Copy !req
168. I'll have more
in a few minutesCopy !req
169. so stay out of the press
room until you talk to me.Copy !req
170. What about the recess
appointments?Copy !req
171. Toby wants to talk
to the President
about adding a name.Copy !req
172. Who?
Josephine McGarry.Copy !req

Yeah.Copy !req
174. Is this as a favor to Leo?Copy !req
175. This is Toby

176. for a fight
on school prayer.Copy !req
177. He'll get one.
Yeah.Copy !req
178. Well, I'm going to see
what's next for meCopy !req
179. in this week of unendurable
Thanksgiving nonsense.Copy !req
180. Okay.Copy !req
181. Hey, C.J.Copy !req
182. Hey, Carol.Copy !req
183. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
184. The turkeys came.Copy !req
185. Wait, wait, wait,
wait, I'm coming!Copy !req
186. I didn't think you
were here yet.Copy !req
187. I am.Copy !req
188. The turkeys came.Copy !req
189. So Carol said.Copy !req
190. Excuse me.Copy !req
191. Josh, Toby and Sam said
they should go in your office.Copy !req
192. Yes.Copy !req
193. These are the turkeys.Copy !req
194. Turkeys for what?Copy !req
195. You weren't here last year.Copy !req
196. When?
Oh, for Thanksgiving.Copy !req
197. You were sick.Copy !req
198. Yes.
Every year
on ThanksgivingCopy !req
199. the President pardons a turkey.Copy !req
200. He pardons a turkey.Copy !req
201. Yeah, it's your event, so...Copy !req
202. Why are there two?Copy !req
203. I'm sorry?Copy !req
204. Why are there two turkeys?Copy !req
205. Customarily,
the Press Secretary decides...Copy !req
206. No.Copy !req
207. which of the two finalists
is more photogenic.Copy !req
208. Their names are...Copy !req
209. I don't want to know
their names.Copy !req
210. This one's Eric
and this one's Troy.Copy !req
211. Eric and Troy?Copy !req
212. Yeah.Copy !req
213. And I'm to choose
the more photogenic of the twoCopy !req
214. to receive
a Presidential pardon?Copy !req
215. Yeah.Copy !req
216. Okay, I have a Master's degreeCopy !req
217. from the University of
California at Berkeley.Copy !req
218. That's a good school.Copy !req
219. Yeah.Copy !req
220. They eat grain, or really
whatever's lying around.Copy !req
221. And Troy doesn't like
to be touched.Copy !req
222. Okay, I'd like to be alone now.Copy !req
223. I understand.Copy !req
224. Hey.
Hey, Sam.Copy !req
225. What's going on?Copy !req
226. I'm shopping for
a new carving knife
for the President.Copy !req
227. This President takes carving
knives very seriously.Copy !req
228. Yes, I've discovered.Copy !req
229. I'm going to need
a few minutesCopy !req
230. to talk about the Chinese
in San Diego.Copy !req
231. Something's going on.Copy !req
232. What?
I'm just getting it in now.Copy !req
233. How'd it go?Copy !req
234. I think I've got it
this time.Copy !req
235. Well, I wouldn't get
your hopes up, dear.Copy !req
236. No, this is
a very good knife.Copy !req
237. He's very particular.Copy !req
238. That's one word for it.Copy !req
239. I heard that.Copy !req
240. Mr. President.Copy !req
241. Ah...Copy !req
242. I think you'll find these
to your liking.Copy !req
243. Yes, yes, indeed I do.Copy !req
244. Excellent.Copy !req
245. The Chef's Choice.Copy !req
246. Twice the amount of carbonCopy !req
247. which means it'll hold
a sharp edgeCopy !req
248. up to ten times longer.Copy !req
249. And you can see the handleCopy !req
250. which is texturized
molded polymer.Copy !req
251. It has no rivets
or air pockets.Copy !req
252. Well, I'm glad you're
happy, Mr. President.Copy !req
253. This is an American knife.Copy !req
254. Yes.
No German knives for us.Copy !req
255. No, sir.
Good job.Copy !req
256. Thank you, sir.
Hold on.Copy !req
257. Sir?Copy !req
258. Nah... Nah.Copy !req
259. No, the balance
isn't right.Copy !req
260. I'll take it back, sir.Copy !req
261. Yeah, you know
what we need?Copy !req
262. A German knife?Copy !req
263. Yeah.
I'll get on it.Copy !req
264. And Mr. PresidentCopy !req
265. Sam asked me to give
you a heads up.Copy !req
266. He'll need a few minutes
to talk about San Diego.Copy !req
267. You tell him they already
briefed me.Copy !req
268. He said there might be
something else.Copy !req
269. Okay.
Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
270. The Germans know howCopy !req
271. to make a knife,
Charlie.Copy !req
272. Yes, sir.Copy !req
273. Josephine McGarry?Copy !req
274. She's been put on a lot of short
lists, why not pull the trigger?Copy !req
275. She's a pretty
controversial woman.Copy !req
276. That's not a flaw.Copy !req
277. It is when it's
a recess appointment.Copy !req
278. Recess appointmentCopy !req
279. assumes the Senate'sCopy !req
280. going to have no problem
with the nominee.Copy !req
281. The Senate will have
a considerable problemCopy !req
282. with this nominee.Copy !req
283. That's the Senate's problem.
Toby...Copy !req
284. Mr. President, you want to have
a debate on school prayer.Copy !req
285. Yes, I do.
This will start it.Copy !req
286. I've got to say,
look, I'm just...Copy !req
287. Toby, I'm not wild
about the woman.Copy !req
288. I've known her for 25 yearsCopy !req
289. and I think
she's All About Eve.Copy !req
290. Well, I wouldn't cast her
in a playCopy !req
291. but at the Department
of Education...Copy !req
292. Good morning.Copy !req
293. Want a debate
on school prayer?Copy !req
294. Yeah.

Economic DevelopmentCopy !req
305. Umberto Sepio, Deputy
Administrator for the EPA."Copy !req
306. Leo, we're adding a name.Copy !req
307. Who?
Josey.Copy !req
308. No, no.Copy !req
309. Assistant Secretary
for PrimaryCopy !req
310. and Secondary Education.Copy !req
311. Did my sister...Copy !req
312. We want the debate.
Did my sister
call youCopy !req
313. and ask you for this?Copy !req
314. She did not call me.Copy !req
315. I'm amazed.Copy !req
316. She called me.Copy !req
317. I'm less amazed.Copy !req
318. Take her name off the list.Copy !req
319. It's not patronage
if she's qualified.Copy !req
320. Sir...
Which she is.Copy !req
321. A Ph.D. in Education,
six years as a principalCopy !req
322. four years
as superintendentCopy !req
323. and a significant
Democrat.Copy !req
324. They'll bring up school prayer.Copy !req
325. No kidding.Copy !req
326. Mr. President, pleaseCopy !req
327. don't hop on the back
of Toby's horse.Copy !req
328. It'll take you to a fight
we're not geared up for.Copy !req
329. We are geared up for itCopy !req
330. and if we're not,
we should get out.Copy !req
331. Sure, you first.Copy !req
332. I'll take the meetings.Copy !req
333. You're damn right.Copy !req
334. And you'll start with aidesCopy !req
335. to the Republican leadershipCopy !req
336. and you'll gauge exactlyCopy !req
337. the volume of dumbness
with no reward we can expect.Copy !req
338. Excuse me, Mr. President.Copy !req
339. Take the meetings.Copy !req
340. I'm very happy to.
Yeah?Copy !req
341. Mr. President, there's a wrinkle
in the situation in San Diego.Copy !req
342. What is it?Copy !req
343. You're not going
to believe it.Copy !req
344. What?
They're claiming
they'reCopy !req
345. Christian evangelicals
fleeing persecution.Copy !req
346. You're kidding me.Copy !req
347. They're seekingCopy !req
348. religious asylum.Copy !req
349. You're kidding me.Copy !req
350. No.Copy !req
351. The Christian community's
going to scream "stay."Copy !req
352. China's going to say
send them back.Copy !req
353. INS is going to say
the law's the law.Copy !req
354. This is a whole new thing.Copy !req
355. Yeah.Copy !req
356. C.J.:
Well, the INS conductsCopy !req
357. something called
a "credible fear" interview.Copy !req
358. This is not a hearing on whether
or not to grant asylumCopy !req
359. just a hearing to determineCopy !req
360. if the detainee has
a credible fearCopy !req
361. that they'll be harmedCopy !req
362. if returned
to their country. Steve.Copy !req
363. C.J., will the White House
be meeting with leadersCopy !req
364. of the Christian community
to hear their input?Copy !req
365. Yes, we will. In
the following daysCopy !req
366. we'll be meeting
with the Reverend
Al CaldwellCopy !req
367. members of
Beijing's Embassy
and INS agents.Copy !req
368. The President has asked
Josh Lyman and Sam SeabornCopy !req
369. to run these meetingsCopy !req
370. so it's entirely possible
that by week's endCopy !req
371. we'll have alienated Christians,
China and our own government.Copy !req
372. ( reporters clamoring )
That's all I have
on the refugees.Copy !req
373. I was going to release the
list of recess appointmentsCopy !req
374. but I'm going to wait a day.Copy !req
375. I can tell you
the list has been sentCopy !req
376. to the appropriate
committee chairsCopy !req
377. and I imagine one of themCopy !req
378. will leak it to you
sometime this afternoon.Copy !req
379. I'll also remind
you that it's
Thanksgiving weekCopy !req
380. which means the traditional
Presidential pardon, you know...Copy !req
381. of the chosen turkey.Copy !req
382. That will be
Wednesday afternoon.Copy !req
383. Thursday morningCopy !req
384. the President will make
his Thanksgiving proclamationCopy !req
385. in the Rose Garden.Copy !req
386. Among the guests will beCopy !req
387. members of the Boys
and Girls Clubs of AmericaCopy !req
388. and members of Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of America.Copy !req
389. Will you be leading
them in song?Copy !req
390. I'm sorry?Copy !req
391. The Press Secretary
usually leads the kids in song.Copy !req
392. Yes, of course
I will be leading them in songCopy !req
393. for I am the Press Secretary.Copy !req
394. Thank you.Copy !req
395. C.J., happy Thanksgiving.Copy !req
396. I got to learn
some songs.Copy !req
397. Don't bring it up
at the meeting.Copy !req
398. Josh...Copy !req
399. Don't bring it up
at the meeting.Copy !req
400. The guy threatened to
blow up the theater
in the name of God.Copy !req
401. Yes.Copy !req
402. A theater with
people in it.Copy !req
403. Yes.Copy !req
404. But sending
illegal Chinese immigrantsCopy !req
405. back to China
is objectionable.Copy !req
406. Don't bring it up
at the meeting.Copy !req
407. It might slip out.Copy !req
408. Okay.
Shove it back in.Copy !req
409. Morning, Reverend Caldwell.Copy !req
410. Oh, morning,
Josh, Sam.Copy !req
411. La Salle:
Good morning.
Reverend.Copy !req
412. Good morning,
everybody. Welcome.Copy !req
413. Morning, Mary.Copy !req
414. Josh, the White
House will faceCopy !req
415. considerable
embarrassmentCopy !req
416. if the President
continues to maintainCopy !req
417. his stranglehold
on indifferenceCopy !req
418. when it comes
to persecuted
ChristiansCopy !req
419. around the world.Copy !req
420. Okay, we're done
with "good morning."Copy !req
421. These are people
from a countryCopy !req
422. that oppresses
Christians.Copy !req
423. The President has
to grant their
asylum request.Copy !req
424. The President doesn't grant
asylum requests.Copy !req
425. The INS judge does.Copy !req
426. The INS judge is going to doCopy !req
427. what the President
urges him to doCopy !req
428. and if the
President doesn't
urge the INS judgeCopy !req
429. to grant the asylum,
he's going to wish he had.Copy !req
430. Mary, I swear to God,
you're not goingCopy !req
431. to get anywhere in this building
by threatening me.Copy !req
432. Do we know that they
were persecuted in China?Copy !req
433. Excuse me?Copy !req
434. Do we know they
were persecuted?Copy !req
435. They're Christians.Copy !req
436. I believe that.Copy !req
437. I'm asking if they
were persecuted.Copy !req
438. Yes.Copy !req
439. They stuffed
How do you know?Copy !req
440. themselves in 20 by 20-foot
container compartmentsCopy !req
441. for a month and a half.Copy !req
442. Why else would
they be here?Copy !req
443. The leaders of
the Fangcheg ChurchCopy !req
444. were thrown
into labor camps.Copy !req
445. Last August,
three Taiwanese-born
American evangelicalsCopy !req
446. were arrested in
Henan province...Copy !req
447. For— I'm quoting now—Copy !req
448. "activities
incompatibleCopy !req
449. with tourist status
under which they
entered China."Copy !req
450. In other words, for
spreading the GospelCopy !req
451. 100 of their followers
were detainedCopy !req
452. and one woman was
beaten by the police.Copy !req
453. Chinese Catholics are being
arrested by the wagon loadCopy !req
454. for recognizing
the Vatican's authority.Copy !req
455. An 82-year-old bishop
was releasedCopy !req
456. after 30 years
in prison, then
arrested again.Copy !req
457. An 84-year-old bishop
was tortured until
he passed out.Copy !req
458. He's now in a coma.Copy !req
459. China harasses Christians, Josh.Copy !req
460. The State Department says so.Copy !req
461. Amnesty International says so.Copy !req
462. I say so.Copy !req
463. It is fact.Copy !req
464. And the scores
of millionsCopy !req
465. of American ChristiansCopy !req
466. and Christians
around the worldCopy !req
467. will not stand
blithely byCopy !req
468. while religious freedom
is threatened.Copy !req
469. Sure, you will.Copy !req
470. Sam...Copy !req
471. No, they will stand
blithely byCopy !req
472. while religious freedom
is threatened.Copy !req
473. They're just not doing it
this time.Copy !req
474. Okay.Copy !req
475. Is this about the play?Copy !req
476. A guy writes a playCopy !req
477. called ApostlesCopy !req
478. in which Jesus Christ is gay,
and you protest— fine—Copy !req
479. but when a guy threatens
to blow up the theaterCopy !req
480. you guys are nowhere
to be heard from.Copy !req
481. That play was disgusting.Copy !req
482. So you're committed
to religious freedomCopy !req
483. for all people unless you don't
like what they have to say.Copy !req
484. That's not what I'm...
Don't look now, but I think
the playwright'sCopy !req
485. headed to China.Copy !req
486. Josh?Copy !req
487. Yeah.Copy !req
488. Sorry about that.Copy !req
489. No, Sam's right,
and it's a point
well taken.Copy !req
490. I just don't want
to get bogged downCopy !req
491. in a Mary Marsh mud-fight.Copy !req
492. Yes, sir.Copy !req
493. This is too important.Copy !req
494. Yes, it is.Copy !req
495. And I want you to
know, I want the
President to know:Copy !req
496. My church will pay
out the bond for each
of the refugees.Copy !req
497. Well, we might be talking
about more money...Copy !req
498. I know how much
we're talking about.Copy !req
499. My church'll pay it.Copy !req
500. If they won't, I will.Copy !req
501. Okay, thank you, Reverend.Copy !req
502. I'll pass that along.Copy !req
503. Thank you.Copy !req
504. Good morning, Toby.Copy !req
505. Good morning,
Reverend.Copy !req
506. You look determined.Copy !req
507. I am, sir.Copy !req
508. Good boy.Copy !req
509. Before we get
to anything elseCopy !req
510. I want to object
to the totally crappy wayCopy !req
511. we were informed
about this.Copy !req
512. You knew you were getting
the list of recess appointments.Copy !req
513. Toby, what makes you think
you can just...?Copy !req
514. Article II, Section 2:
"The President shall haveCopy !req
515. "the power to fill all vacancies
that may happenCopy !req
516. "during the recess of the Senate
by granting commissionsCopy !req
517. which shall expire
at the end of their
next session."Copy !req
518. You can't just slip
her in, Toby.Copy !req
519. Slip who in?Copy !req
520. Don't be cute.Copy !req
521. I can't help it.Copy !req
522. McGarry's sister.
It's Mr. McGarryCopy !req
523. and her name
is Dr. Josephine McGarry.Copy !req
524. She has a Ph.D. in Education
from Cornell.Copy !req
525. She's published many
scholarly essays on
public education.Copy !req
526. She was superintendent
of the Atlanta School DistrictCopy !req
527. servicing 58,000 studentsCopy !req
528. with some of the highest
standardized test scoresCopy !req
529. in the country.Copy !req
530. What in particular troublesCopy !req
531. the senators you work for
about her resume?Copy !req
532. I think you know.Copy !req
533. I do,
but I'd like you to say it.Copy !req
534. She's anti-religion, Toby.Copy !req
535. Is she?Copy !req
536. Yes, she is.Copy !req
537. Hmm... She's on the Board
of Visitors at her church.Copy !req
538. She teaches
Sunday morningsCopy !req
539. at the Immaculate Heart of Mary
school.Copy !req
540. You know what we're
talking about.Copy !req
541. She's against prayer.Copy !req
542. She's against prayer?Copy !req
543. School prayer.Copy !req
544. Ah.Copy !req
545. As she's published
many times in her
scholarly essays.Copy !req
546. You want to know
who else is against it?Copy !req
547. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals.Copy !req
548. Organized prayer
in public schools
is prohibitedCopy !req
549. and your problem with herCopy !req
550. is that, while superintendent,
she enforced the law.Copy !req
551. A law that
70% say is wrong.Copy !req
552. 70% of the people say...Copy !req
553. Laws don't work like that,
Wayne.Copy !req
554. We don't ask
for a show of hands.Copy !req
555. You understand
that the Senate Republicans...Copy !req
556. No, I don't.Copy !req
557. Can you explain it to me slowlyCopy !req
558. using small words
and visual aids?Copy !req
559. Toby...Copy !req
560. The Senate RepublicansCopy !req
561. will hold up the confirmations
of other nominees.Copy !req
562. This is an abuse
of the recess
appointment.Copy !req
563. It's there
for convenience.Copy !req
564. It's not there
to circumventCopy !req
565. the Senate's
Constitutional right
to confirm nominees.Copy !req
566. Neither is the filibuster.Copy !req
567. I'll put down my gun
when you put down yours.Copy !req
568. The fact is,
if you don't thinkCopy !req
569. she'd be confirmed,
then it's outrageous that...Copy !req
570. No, what is outrageous is that
this would never come to voteCopy !req
571. if we did it
in session.Copy !req
572. There's no way
the Senate could
not confirm her.Copy !req
573. She's too qualified.Copy !req
574. This would never
come to a vote!Copy !req
575. So... hold up
all the appointments you wantCopy !req
576. shut down the governmentCopy !req
577. 'cause a teacher did
as she was told.Copy !req
578. You'll have given
us a second termCopy !req
579. and we won't even have
to leave the building.Copy !req
580. But not because
I'm right and you're wrongCopy !req
581. though I am and you areCopy !req
582. but just because
I am better at this than you.Copy !req
583. Not this time.Copy !req
584. I'm sorry?Copy !req
585. You're not better this time.Copy !req
586. This... is a picture of her.Copy !req
587. Doing what?Copy !req
588. Enforcing the law.Copy !req
589. It was a home game.Copy !req
590. There was
an organized prayerCopy !req
591. and she's
breaking it up.Copy !req
592. Yes, she is.Copy !req
593. It's not good,
but it's not...Copy !req
594. These are high school students.Copy !req
595. Two of them
are on their knees prayingCopy !req
596. while being handcuffedCopy !req
597. with my sister
standing next
to the copCopy !req
598. whose hand is
on his nightstick.Copy !req
599. He's resting it
on his nightstick.Copy !req
600. I'm sure that explanation
will be in the caption.Copy !req
601. Leo...Copy !req
602. One of the students
is wearingCopy !req
603. his marching
band uniform.Copy !req
604. One of the students is black.Copy !req
605. Listen...
And you say,
"It's not good"?Copy !req
606. Yeah, look...
That's a penetrating
diagnosisCopy !req
607. from the White House
Communications Director.Copy !req
608. It's not like we weren't aware
of the incident.Copy !req
609. We didn't know there was art.Copy !req
610. It's a local paper.Copy !req
611. It's not local anymore!Copy !req
612. Well, I can save it.Copy !req
613. Does she know
she was submitted?
Yes.Copy !req
614. How?
I called her.Copy !req
615. Toby...!
I can save this.Copy !req
616. Margaret!Copy !req
617. Leo...Copy !req
618. Oh, a football game,
high school marching bandCopy !req
619. on their knees.Copy !req
620. The only thing breaking
up Normal RockwellCopy !req
621. are the cops, the handcuffs,
the nightstickCopy !req
622. and my sister.
Yeah?Copy !req
623. Get Josephine on the phone.Copy !req
624. Yeah.Copy !req
625. I begged you to go slow
with this nomination.Copy !req
626. The post needed to...Copy !req
627. The post did not
desperately needCopy !req
628. to be filled.Copy !req
629. Neither the economy
nor national securityCopy !req
630. nor infrastructure
will collapseCopy !req
631. without an Assistant SecretaryCopy !req
632. of Primary
and Secondary Education.Copy !req
633. It brings the problem
front and center.Copy !req
634. Great.Copy !req
635. And what prize do we get
for that?Copy !req
636. Leo...
What prize
do we getCopy !req
637. for bringing it
front and center?Copy !req
638. Leo?Copy !req
639. What?Copy !req
640. Your sister.Copy !req
641. I'll be in my office.Copy !req
642. It brings your problem
front and centerCopy !req
643. Toby.Copy !req
644. Leave the newspaper.Copy !req
645. Hey, Jo.Copy !req
646. C.J.:
Donna?
Hey, C.J.Copy !req
647. Can I borrow you
for just a minute?Copy !req
648. Hey, C.J.Copy !req
649. You know, I'd love
to stand around and
talk with you, JoshCopy !req
650. but I have a
turkey pardoning
in five minutes.Copy !req
651. I thought that was tomorrow.Copy !req
652. No. Tomorrow's
the singing.Copy !req
653. You're singing?Copy !req
654. I'm leading the
children in song.Copy !req
655. Excellent!
Yes.
I need Donna.Copy !req
656. You need help
with the song?Copy !req
657. I don't need
help with the
song. Donna?Copy !req
658. The INS guys will be here
in a minute.
Yep.Copy !req
659. What do
you need?
I need help
with the song.Copy !req
660. Isn't it the
usual song?
There's
a usual song?Copy !req
661. "We Gather Together."
That's the song.Copy !req
662. That's
the usual song.
So you know it?Copy !req
663. Everybody knows it.
I don't know it.Copy !req
664. Didn't you go
to elementary school?Copy !req
665. Yes. Right before
being a National
Merit scholar.Copy !req
666. The madrigals
will know the song.Copy !req
667. The madrigals?
A couple of guys
wearing costumesCopy !req
668. and playing the lute.
It's no problem.Copy !req
669. Y-you're not the
one conducting a
musical on CNN.Copy !req
670. You want me
to teach you the song?Copy !req
671. Yes.Copy !req
672. Now?
Not now.Copy !req
673. Right now I have,
you know, actual...Copy !req
674. serious work to do.Copy !req
675. Okay. Show time, guys.Copy !req
676. I've observed you
under a number of conditionsCopy !req
677. and this is the final.Copy !req
678. I can't have you wigging out
in the President's face—Copy !req
679. "I just don't like the photo."Copy !req
680. So...Copy !req
681. You both did fine.Copy !req
682. Troy, I want you to know
it was neck and neckCopy !req
683. but I'm giving it to Eric.Copy !req
684. You were in it
right to the end, but it'sCopy !req
685. the flapping thing
you got going on.Copy !req
686. I'll tell you what's
of some concern to me—Copy !req
687. that I've been talking out loud
this whole time.Copy !req
688. That's very unsettling.Copy !req
689. Okay, Eric, here we go.Copy !req
690. Come on, Eric, let's go.Copy !req
691. The guy said to support him
under his hindquarters.Copy !req
692. Well, I don't
know where his
hindquarters areCopy !req
693. and I'm not going
to look that hard.Copy !req
694. Come on, Eric.Copy !req
695. ( whistling ):
Troy?Copy !req
696. Passage usually costs
anywhere from $20 to $40,000.Copy !req
697. $40,000 buys
them a spot in
the container?Copy !req
698. Yeah.Copy !req
699. How do these people
have $40,000?Copy !req
700. They don't.Copy !req
701. That's the problem.Copy !req
702. They have to pay
off the smugglersCopy !req
703. when they get hereCopy !req
704. so they become
indentured servants.Copy !req
705. Sweat shops?
Drugs, prostitution.Copy !req
706. You should knowCopy !req
707. that Al Caldwell and
the Christian LeagueCopy !req
708. have offered
to pay their bond.Copy !req
709. Caldwell should know
it's not uncommonCopy !req
710. for them to
be coached.Copy !req
711. On religious persecution?Copy !req
712. It's a good alibi.Copy !req
713. Listen, it's not
for me to sayCopy !req
714. but you got to
be serious about
illegal immigrationCopy !req
715. and you got to do these things
within existing laws.Copy !req
716. Thanks for coming by.Copy !req
717. Good seeing you.Copy !req
718. Take it easy.Copy !req
719. You, too.Copy !req
720. A lot of them
left their families.Copy !req
721. Two months on the
water in a container.Copy !req
722. Dead bodies in there.Copy !req
723. They had to want it.Copy !req
724. Mr. President?Copy !req
725. Yeah?Copy !req
726. We're all set.Copy !req
727. What am I doing?Copy !req
728. Pardoning a turkey.Copy !req
729. Okay.Copy !req
730. Mr. President?Copy !req
731. Excellent.Copy !req
732. I think you'll like this.Copy !req
733. The Messermeister.Copy !req
734. Meridian 3000 series.Copy !req
735. One-piece forged blade,
riveted pom handles.Copy !req
736. Terrific.Copy !req
737. I don't like the handles.Copy !req
738. Okay.
Mr. President?Copy !req
739. How's it going?Copy !req
740. Sir, we've taken
a couple dozen meetingsCopy !req
741. in the last two days.Copy !req
742. You met with Chinese
embassy officials?Copy !req
743. Last night.
They say...Copy !req
744. Christians aren't
persecuted in China.Copy !req
745. Since they're not oppressedCopy !req
746. they don't qualify
for refugee status...Copy !req
747. under U.S.
or U.N. conditions, yeah.Copy !req
748. They also make the point
that they broke Chinese lawCopy !req
749. when they left
the country illegallyCopy !req
750. and should be sent backCopy !req
751. to their country
of origin.Copy !req
752. It's a fair point.Copy !req
753. The INS agents also feelCopy !req
754. it's not uncommon
in this situationCopy !req
755. for refugees to—Copy !req
756. how do I put it—Copy !req
757. feign faith.Copy !req
758. Yeah. They'll be coached.Copy !req
759. How do you tell
the difference...?Copy !req
760. You guys know
what a shibboleth is?Copy !req
761. It's a catchphrase,
isn't it?Copy !req
762. A cliche.Copy !req
763. Comes from the Bible:Copy !req
764. "Then said
now unto himCopy !req
765. "'Say now shibboleth!'Copy !req
766. "And he said, 'Sibboleth'Copy !req
767. for he could not frame
to pronounce it right."Copy !req
768. It was a password—
a way the army usedCopy !req
769. to distinguish true Israelites
from impostorsCopy !req
770. sent across the river
Jordan by the enemy.
Sir...Copy !req
771. I'm having one of the Chinese
refugees flown here.Copy !req
772. I'll meet with him tonight.Copy !req
773. Mr. President,
I can't, you know...Copy !req
774. indefinitely with the turkey.Copy !req
775. Yeah.
Excuse me.Copy !req
776. what are you going to ask
the Chinese refugee?Copy !req
777. I'm going to ask him
to say shibboleth.Copy !req
778. Leo?Copy !req
779. She's here?Copy !req
780. Yeah.Copy !req
781. Okay.Copy !req
782. I understand
they've already startedCopy !req
783. beating the drums
over the me.Copy !req
784. Yeah.Copy !req
785. I don't think
I need to tell youCopy !req
786. that I'm not going to shrink
from a fight.Copy !req
787. No, you don't.Copy !req
788. In fact, you look for them.Copy !req
789. Just like my brother.Copy !req
790. I don't look
for fights, Josey.Copy !req
791. There are enough
that look for me.Copy !req
792. Leo...!
And I am trying
to stage manageCopy !req
793. an undisciplined
White HouseCopy !req
794. through what I would say
was a difficult timeCopy !req
795. except I haven't
experienced an
easy one yet.Copy !req
796. This is going to be
a big victoryCopy !req
797. for us, Leo.Copy !req
798. I will have support lined up
from the AFT, the NEA.Copy !req
799. I will have...Copy !req
800. Josey, I want you to
withdraw your name
from consideration.Copy !req
801. Why?Copy !req
802. You feel you can do more
as Superintentent in Atlanta.Copy !req
803. No, I mean, wh...?Copy !req
804. 'Cause the president won'tCopy !req
805. and even if he would,
it'd look bad.Copy !req
806. No, I'm asking you
why you've...?Copy !req
807. They've got a
newspaper picture.Copy !req
808. Of what?Copy !req
809. You know of what.Copy !req
810. There were a lot
of pictures, Leo.Copy !req
811. This one
is special.Copy !req
812. This one is game's over.Copy !req
813. The handcuffs.Copy !req
814. Yeah.Copy !req
815. And you wouldn't even considerCopy !req
816. sticking by me?Copy !req
817. A few years agoCopy !req
818. on a campaign swing
through the SouthCopy !req
819. I met a stringer photographer
named Odabee Jones.Copy !req
820. It was an
unusual nameCopy !req
821. and so I've
remembered it.Copy !req
822. He told me he had you to thankCopy !req
823. for starting his career
in photojournalismCopy !req
824. 'cause you'd give him a heads upCopy !req
825. when there was
going to beCopy !req
826. something
worth shooting.Copy !req
827. Leo, what in God's name...?Copy !req
828. Look at the photo credit
on the picture.Copy !req
829. You called
the photographer.Copy !req
830. You wanted a picture
taken of that.Copy !req
831. Those kids are commendable.Copy !req
832. In this day and age,
those kids are phenomenal.Copy !req
833. Now we have laws,
and they are difficultCopy !req
834. and they have to be enforcedCopy !req
835. and it's right
that they're enforced.Copy !req
836. But we do not strut... ever.Copy !req
837. Is there something
you need me to sign?Copy !req
838. Anything else?Copy !req
839. Kiss your kids hello for me.Copy !req
840. She'll get over it.Copy !req
841. She hasn't gotten over
my making her returnCopy !req
842. the stolen Milk Duds.Copy !req
843. You were right.Copy !req
844. I know.Copy !req
845. Josey was the wrong face
to put on this.Copy !req
846. Yes.Copy !req
847. But I'll tell you why
it should be front and center.Copy !req
848. It's not the
First Amendment.Copy !req
849. It's not religious freedom.Copy !req
850. It's not Church and State.Copy !req
851. It's not... abstract.Copy !req
852. What is it?Copy !req
853. It's the fourth-grader who gets
his ass kicked at recessCopy !req
854. 'cause he sat out the voluntary
prayer in homeroom.Copy !req
855. It's another way of making kids
different from other kids...Copy !req
856. and they're required by law
to be there.Copy !req
857. That's why you want it
front and center.Copy !req
858. Fourth grader.Copy !req
859. That's the prize.Copy !req
860. What'd they do to you?Copy !req
861. Leo?Copy !req
862. Yeah.Copy !req
863. You're right
about that part.Copy !req
864. That part needs to
be talked about more.Copy !req
865. It does.Copy !req
866. Okay.Copy !req
867. What are you doing
for dinner tomorrow?Copy !req
868. 'Cause Josh and Sam and ICopy !req
869. are watching the game.Copy !req
870. I'm with the First Family.Copy !req
871. Okay. Hey, Leo, do me a favor.Copy !req
872. Don't tell the President...Copy !req
873. Oh, the President could
honestly give a damnCopy !req
874. what you guys are
doing tomorrow, Toby.Copy !req
875. Yeah.Copy !req
876. That's...Copy !req
877. Mrs.
Ah, Mr. President.Copy !req
878. Is he here?Copy !req
879. Yes, sir.Copy !req
880. Good.Copy !req
881. Did we get
an interpreter?Copy !req
882. He speaks English.Copy !req
883. He's a chemistry
professor.Copy !req
884. Yeah?Copy !req
885. There was a while
there I wanted to be
a chemistry professor.Copy !req
886. What happened?Copy !req
887. I never actually
studied chemistry.Copy !req
888. A lot of these college
chemistry departmentsCopy !req
889. are really demanding
that way.
Yeah.Copy !req
890. Mr. President.Copy !req
891. Jhin Wei?Copy !req
892. Yes, sir.Copy !req
893. I'm Jed Bartlet,
this is Leo McGarry.Copy !req
894. How do you do?Copy !req
895. Thank you for comingCopy !req
896. all this way.Copy !req
897. Yes, sir.Copy !req
898. Fellas...Copy !req
899. would you mind
waiting outside?Copy !req
900. Would you care
to sit down?Copy !req
901. It's perfectly all right.Copy !req
902. There are some
sandwiches here.Copy !req
903. If you get hungry,
you should feel freeCopy !req
904. to eat as much
as you please.Copy !req
905. Yes, sir.Copy !req
906. There are questionsCopy !req
907. as to the veracity
of your claim
to asylum.Copy !req
908. Yes, sir.Copy !req
909. How did you
become a Christian?Copy !req
910. I began attending
a house churchCopy !req
911. with my wife in Fujian.Copy !req
912. Eventually,
I was baptized.Copy !req
913. How do you practice?Copy !req
914. We share Bibles—
we don't have enough.Copy !req
915. We sing hymns.Copy !req
916. We hear sermons.
We recite the Lord's Prayer.Copy !req
917. We are charitable.Copy !req
918. Who's the head
of your church?Copy !req
919. The head of our parish
is an 84-year-old manCopy !req
920. named Wen Ling.Copy !req
921. He's been beaten and
imprisoned many times.Copy !req
922. The head of our church
is Jesus Christ.Copy !req
923. Can you name
any of Jesus' apostles?Copy !req
924. If you can't, that's okay.Copy !req
925. I usually can't remember
the names of my kidsCopy !req
926. or for that matter...Copy !req
927. Peter, Andrew, John, Philip,
Bartholomew, ThomasCopy !req
928. Matthew, Thaddeus, Simon,
Judas and James.Copy !req
929. Mr. President, Christianity
is not demonstratedCopy !req
930. through a recitation of facts.Copy !req
931. You're seeking evidence of faithCopy !req
932. a wholehearted acceptance
of God's promiseCopy !req
933. of a better world.Copy !req
934. "For we hold that manCopy !req
935. is justified
by faith alone"Copy !req
936. is what Saint Paul said.Copy !req
937. "Justified by faith alone."Copy !req
938. Faith is the true...Copy !req
939. uh... I'm trying to...Copy !req
940. shibboleth.Copy !req
941. Faith is the true shibboleth.Copy !req
942. Yes, it is.Copy !req
943. And you, sir, just said
the magic wordCopy !req
944. in more ways
than one.Copy !req
945. Thank you.Copy !req
946. It was a pleasure
to meet you.Copy !req
947. Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
948. We're trying to sell
more 747s to ChinaCopy !req
949. already a big
customer.Copy !req
950. We want China to crack downCopy !req
951. on violators
of American copyrights.Copy !req
952. We're trying to get ChinaCopy !req
953. to negotiate a settlement
with Tibet...Copy !req
954. Right.Copy !req
955. Right.Copy !req
956. We don't have
to grant asylum.Copy !req
957. If you're suggesting
what I think you areCopy !req
958. you should know
it's happened before.Copy !req
959. Where are they?Copy !req
960. An INS detention
facility in Otay Mesa.Copy !req
961. They're being guarded
by INS agents,
aided by membersCopy !req
962. of the 22nd Division
of the California
National Guard.Copy !req
963. Not the Coast Guard?Copy !req
964. No.Copy !req
965. Before... when it
happened before...Copy !req
966. how did it work?Copy !req
967. Well, you don't want
to piss off ChinaCopy !req
968. and you don't want
to send them backCopy !req
969. so you got
to ask yourselfCopy !req
970. how secure is the INS
detention facility?Copy !req
971. Mrs. Landingham?Copy !req
972. Yes, sir.Copy !req
973. I need to talk
to the Governor of California.Copy !req
974. Carol.
Yeah.Copy !req
975. We're starting
in five minutes.Copy !req
976. You can move the press
to the Rose Garden.Copy !req
977. Yeah.Copy !req
978. Hey, Toscanini.
I'm busy.Copy !req
979. You learning
the song?Copy !req
980. I know the song.
You don't know
the song.Copy !req
981. "We gather together
to ask the Lord's blessing.Copy !req
982. He chastens and hastens
his will to make known."Copy !req
983. Know what it means?Copy !req
984. I don't have
to know what it means.Copy !req
985. I don't know
what you're doing
for dinner tonightCopy !req
986. but Josh and Sam
and I...Copy !req
987. It's about damn time
you asked me.Copy !req
988. I have been sitting
here for two weeksCopy !req
989. turning down all kindsCopy !req
990. of very, frankly,
glamorous invitationsCopy !req
991. from people I like
a lot more than you.Copy !req
992. You can't ask a girl
at the last minute...Copy !req
993. Well, if you can't
come, that's okay.Copy !req
994. No, I can come,
I can come.
Good.Copy !req
995. Should I bring anything?Copy !req
996. Yeah, do you know
how to, you know,
cook food?Copy !req
997. We're in the Rose Garden
in five minutes.Copy !req
998. C.J., this is
Morton Horn.Copy !req
999. He's from Jasper Farms.Copy !req
1000. He's here to take one
of the turkeys back.Copy !req
1001. What do you mean?Copy !req
1002. Well, I got to take
one of the turkeys back.Copy !req
1003. No, no, these
turkeys are goingCopy !req
1004. to a petting zoo
in Delaware.Copy !req
1005. Well, one of them is.Copy !req
1006. Yeah, but I'm going
to send both of them.Copy !req
1007. C.J., Jasper Farms
donated one turkeyCopy !req
1008. and then the other one...Copy !req
1009. Right, but I'm going
to take them both.Copy !req
1010. No, I got to take
a turkey back.Copy !req
1011. I'm going to buy
him from you.Copy !req
1012. What's he, 30 bucks?Copy !req
1013. These turkeys
are $275.Copy !req
1014. For a turkey!Copy !req
1015. They're specially
raised.Copy !req
1016. At the Waldorf?Copy !req
1017. Ma'am, I...
I'll pay it.Copy !req
1018. It's already
been sold.Copy !req
1019. Give them a different turkey.Copy !req
1020. Well, all the
turkeys have
been sold.Copy !req
1021. C.J., I think...Copy !req
1022. Ma'am, it was
my understandingCopy !req
1023. that one of these
turkeys was to
be pardonedCopy !req
1024. the other one sent
back to Jasper Farms.Copy !req
1025. Yes, and I chose EricCopy !req
1026. 'cause Troy doesn't like
to be touchedCopy !req
1027. which, surely, we're not
going to execute him for.Copy !req
1028. Ma'am, I have
a job and I...Copy !req
1029. Come with me, please.Copy !req
1030. Ma'am!Copy !req
1031. Grab the turkey
and come with me.Copy !req
1032. All right.Copy !req
1033. Mrs. Landingham,
can I look at a copyCopy !req
1034. of the Thanksgiving
proclamation?Copy !req
1035. Sir, why don't you use
the intercom?Copy !req
1036. 'Cause...Copy !req
1037. 'Cause you don'tCopy !req
1038. know how
to use the intercom.Copy !req
1039. I was standing
at the door.Copy !req
1040. Maybe after this ceremonyCopy !req
1041. you can get one
of the fourth gradersCopy !req
1042. to come in and show youCopy !req
1043. how to use
the intercom.Copy !req
1044. Can I look at a copy...Copy !req
1045. Sam is bringing it.Copy !req
1046. Mr. President.Copy !req
1047. What you got, Charles?Copy !req
1048. A winner, Mr. President.Copy !req
1049. The 1985 Komin YomadaCopy !req
1050. made in Japan from
the best materials
available.Copy !req
1051. Lighter weight blade.Copy !req
1052. Which facilitates
cutting and reduces
user fatigue.Copy !req
1053. I once test-drove
the Komin Yomada.
And?Copy !req
1054. Not wild about it—
How about this?Copy !req
1055. Okay, Mr. PresidentCopy !req
1056. I say this with all
possible respectCopy !req
1057. but each of these knivesCopy !req
1058. cuts, you know, meat.Copy !req
1059. Why is it important...Copy !req
1060. Because it's
something
we pass on.Copy !req
1061. It's something
with a history,
so we can sayCopy !req
1062. "My father gave
this to meCopy !req
1063. "and his father
gave it to himCopy !req
1064. and now I'm giving
it to you."Copy !req
1065. Well, okay, sir,
but if that's trueCopy !req
1066. then why don't you
already have one?Copy !req
1067. I do have one.Copy !req
1068. Why do you need
a new one?Copy !req
1069. I'm giving mine away.Copy !req
1070. To who?Copy !req
1071. Whom.Copy !req
1072. To whom?Copy !req
1073. Funny you should ask.Copy !req
1074. Charlie, my father
gave this to meCopy !req
1075. and his father
gave it to himCopy !req
1076. and now I'm giving
it to you.Copy !req
1077. Take a look.Copy !req
1078. The fully tapered
bolster allows forCopy !req
1079. sharpening the entire
edge of the blade.Copy !req
1080. It says "P.R."Copy !req
1081. I thought I knew them allCopy !req
1082. but I don't recognize
the manufacturer.Copy !req
1083. Yeah, these were made
for my familyCopy !req
1084. by a Boston silversmith
named Paul Revere.Copy !req
1085. Mr. President.Copy !req
1086. I'm proud of you, Charlie.Copy !req
1087. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
1088. Five minutes
in the Rose Garden.Copy !req
1089. Yeah.Copy !req
1090. Mr. President?Copy !req
1091. Yeah.Copy !req
1092. Hi.Copy !req
1093. Hi.Copy !req
1094. I'm sorry to ask you
this, sir, but...Copy !req
1095. Not too late to stop yourself.Copy !req
1096. I need you to pardon a turkey.Copy !req
1097. I already pardoned the turkey.Copy !req
1098. I need you
to pardon another one.Copy !req
1099. Didn't I do it right?Copy !req
1100. You did it great, but I need youCopy !req
1101. to come out
and pardon another one.Copy !req
1102. Aren't I going
to get a reputationCopy !req
1103. for being soft on turkeys?Copy !req
1104. Sir, can you come out hereCopy !req
1105. and just get this over with?Copy !req
1106. No, I'm not going to...Copy !req
1107. What the hell's going on?Copy !req
1108. They sent me two turkeys.Copy !req
1109. The more photo friendly
of the twoCopy !req
1110. gets a Presidential
pardonCopy !req
1111. and a full life
at a children's zoo.Copy !req
1112. The runner-up gets eaten.Copy !req
1113. If the Oscars were like that,
I'd watch.Copy !req
1114. Mr. President...Copy !req
1115. Just buy the second turkey.Copy !req
1116. They already sold it.Copy !req
1117. There's not
much I can do.Copy !req
1118. You can pardon the turkey.Copy !req
1119. The turkey hasn't committed
a crime.Copy !req
1120. Sir...Copy !req
1121. C.J., I have really no judicialCopy !req
1122. jurisdiction
over birds.Copy !req
1123. Yes, I know that
and you know thatCopy !req
1124. but Morton Horn
doesn't know that.Copy !req
1125. He's the high
school kidCopy !req
1126. from the... turkey place.Copy !req
1127. He's in high school
and he doesn't know I
can't pardon his turkey?Copy !req
1128. That's what I'm betting.Copy !req
1129. C.J., if we don't,
and I mean completelyCopy !req
1130. overhaul public educationCopy !req
1131. in this
country...Copy !req
1132. Yes, sir, but maybe
this is not the...Copy !req
1133. Where the hell is he?Copy !req
1134. Right out here.Copy !req
1135. Morton, this is
President Bartlet.Copy !req
1136. Hey, Morton.Copy !req
1137. Wow.Copy !req
1138. Well said.Copy !req
1139. Is that the turkey?Copy !req
1140. Yes.
You're pardoned.Copy !req
1141. Sir?
What do you want?Copy !req
1142. Well, you know.Copy !req
1143. By the power
vested in meCopy !req
1144. by the Constitution
of the United StatesCopy !req
1145. I hereby pardon you.Copy !req
1146. Okay.Copy !req
1147. No, it's not okay.Copy !req
1148. Sir...Copy !req
1149. Morton, I can't
pardon a turkey.Copy !req
1150. If you think I can
pardon a turkeyCopy !req
1151. then you have got
to go back to your schoolCopy !req
1152. and insist that you
be better preparedCopy !req
1153. to go out in the world.Copy !req
1154. You can't pardon
a turkey?Copy !req
1155. No.Copy !req
1156. I tell you
what I can do.Copy !req
1157. I'm drafting
this turkeyCopy !req
1158. into military service.Copy !req
1159. In the meantimeCopy !req
1160. somebody will be
drafting a checkCopy !req
1161. which will have
my signature on itCopy !req
1162. so the folks can buy
themselves a Butterball.Copy !req
1163. Okay.Copy !req
1164. C.J.:
Donna, would you haveCopy !req
1165. Morton take Troy backCopy !req
1166. to his pen and
remember to supportCopy !req
1167. his hind quarters.Copy !req
1168. What's wrong with him?Copy !req
1169. The turkey's
hindquarters.Copy !req
1170. I'm still waiting
for the thing.Copy !req
1171. Right here.Copy !req
1172. Let's go in.Copy !req
1173. Sir?Copy !req
1174. Give me two minutes.Copy !req
1175. I'm going to step
out thereCopy !req
1176. and begin the singing
and lute playing.Copy !req
1177. Whatever.Copy !req
1178. I'm assuming
you've heard.Copy !req
1179. By the way, the Latin
word for "yam"Copy !req
1180. is "dioscorea."Copy !req
1181. You've heard.Copy !req
1182. About the Chinese
refugees?Copy !req
1183. They escaped.Copy !req
1184. I know.
Can you believe it?Copy !req
1185. No, as a matter of fact,
neither of usCopy !req
1186. can believe it, sir.Copy !req
1187. That detention center
was being guardedCopy !req
1188. by the 22nd Division of
the California National Guard.Copy !req
1189. Now, what does it say
about our reserve army?Copy !req
1190. That 73 men, women and children
who haven't eaten in two monthsCopy !req
1191. staged a prison break?Copy !req
1192. Let me read this.Copy !req
1193. "Well over three-and-
a-half centuries agoCopy !req
1194. "strengthened by faithCopy !req
1195. "and bound by a common
desire for libertyCopy !req
1196. "a small band of pilgrimsCopy !req
1197. "sought out a place
in the New WorldCopy !req
1198. "where they could worship
according to their own beliefs.Copy !req
1199. "Now, therefore,
I, Josiah BartletCopy !req
1200. "President of the United StatesCopy !req
1201. "by virtue of the authority
and laws vested in meCopy !req
1202. do hereby proclaim this to be
a National Day of Thanksgiving."Copy !req
1203. I'll see you out there, sir.Copy !req
1204. You asked the Governor
to stand down the 22nd Division.Copy !req
1205. And call in the Red Cross.Copy !req
1206. We didn't do anything illegal.Copy !req
1207. You're not involved
in any massive
criminal conspiracy.Copy !req
1208. There's no way I was
letting them goCopy !req
1209. and we needed
to help China save faceCopy !req
1210. so now they can
tell their peopleCopy !req
1211. that the mighty American
military was overpowered by...Copy !req
1212. Yeah.Copy !req
1213. So, the guy passed
the test, huh?Copy !req
1214. You think I would have
sent him backCopy !req
1215. if he'd failed catechism?Copy !req
1216. Let me tell you something.Copy !req
1217. We can be
the world's policemanCopy !req
1218. we can be the world's bankCopy !req
1219. the world's factory,
the world's farm.Copy !req
1220. What does it mean,
if we're not also...Copy !req
1221. They made it
to the New World, Josh.Copy !req
1222. You know what I get
to do now?Copy !req
1223. I get to proclaim
a National Day of Thanksgiving.Copy !req
1224. Man ( in background):
Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girlsCopy !req
1225. the President
of the United States.Copy !req
1226. This is a great job.Copy !req
