00:00:06,435 --> 00:00:07,896
Previously on The West Wing:
2
00:00:08,064 --> 00:00:10,556
Most troubling is Haitian troops
parked in front...
3
00:00:10,733 --> 00:00:12,942
...of every police
station in Port-au-Prince.
4
00:00:13,113 --> 00:00:15,106
If they take the embassy,
how will we know?
5
00:00:15,283 --> 00:00:16,694
They're taking the embassy.
6
00:00:16,868 --> 00:00:19,706
- Mrs. Landingham was driving back here.
- Is she all right?
7
00:00:19,873 --> 00:00:21,369
No. She's dead.
8
00:00:21,543 --> 00:00:24,082
Ten years ago the president
was diagnosed with MS.
9
00:00:24,297 --> 00:00:27,086
He concealed it during election,
but we're going public...
10
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,135
...with an interview
and press conference.
11
00:00:29,305 --> 00:00:31,631
Is the president gonna run
for re-election?
12
00:00:31,809 --> 00:00:34,015
There's gonna be
a press conference tonight.
13
00:00:34,186 --> 00:00:36,264
I'd watch.
14
00:00:36,441 --> 00:00:39,942
Please! I can only answer
14 or 15 questions at once.
15
00:00:41,741 --> 00:00:44,114
Has there been discussion
of a special prosecutor?
16
00:00:44,286 --> 00:00:47,123
Tomorrow the president will direct
the Attorney General...
17
00:00:47,291 --> 00:00:49,699
...to appoint a special prosecutor. Yes.
18
00:00:49,878 --> 00:00:52,549
- I can't see. Joan?
- Can you tell us how that will work?
19
00:00:52,716 --> 00:00:56,301
A list of three prosecutors
is given to a three-judge panel.
20
00:00:56,472 --> 00:00:59,558
The prosecutors as well as the judges
were all appointed...
21
00:00:59,769 --> 00:01:01,098
...by Republican presidents.
22
00:01:01,313 --> 00:01:03,852
- How soon until witnesses are called?
- I don't know.
23
00:01:04,025 --> 00:01:06,065
Any idea who will be
on the witness list?
24
00:01:06,236 --> 00:01:08,728
I can't comment on a witness
list that doesn't exist.
25
00:01:08,908 --> 00:01:12,242
I imagine subpoenas will be issued
to most senior White House staff...
26
00:01:12,413 --> 00:01:14,703
...including myself.
- C.J.!
27
00:01:14,875 --> 00:01:16,454
- What about Congress?
- I'm sorry?
28
00:01:16,628 --> 00:01:18,621
- Will Congress hold hearings?
- I'd imagine.
29
00:01:18,798 --> 00:01:22,549
- Which committee will have jurisdiction...
- I can't comment on what hearings...
30
00:01:22,721 --> 00:01:26,507
...Congress has in mind. There will be
one, but you have to talk to Congress.
31
00:01:27,979 --> 00:01:31,184
Okay. Here now,
the president of the United States.
32
00:01:33,445 --> 00:01:35,605
Front row on your right.
33
00:01:42,919 --> 00:01:44,747
Yes, Sandy.
34
00:01:45,506 --> 00:01:49,340
Mr. President, can you tell us right now
if you'll be seeking a second term?
35
00:01:49,512 --> 00:01:53,512
I'm sorry, there was a little bit of noise
there. Can you repeat the question?
36
00:01:53,685 --> 00:01:58,813
Yes, sir. Can you tell us right now
if you'll be seeking a second term?
37
00:02:11,504 --> 00:02:13,130
Yeah.
38
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:16,088
And I'm going to win.
39
00:02:18,807 --> 00:02:20,801
C.J.
40
00:02:24,274 --> 00:02:26,315
C.J.
41
00:02:28,155 --> 00:02:30,066
C.J.
44
00:03:00,372 --> 00:03:01,701
- Mr. President.
- Bruno.
45
00:03:01,873 --> 00:03:04,793
- I got a new section that I'd like you to...
- Give it to Leo.
46
00:03:06,548 --> 00:03:07,877
C.J.
47
00:03:08,051 --> 00:03:11,386
The speech is written. They're ironing
a few things out. It's written.
48
00:03:11,556 --> 00:03:13,466
- I'm not talking about the speech.
- What?
49
00:03:13,643 --> 00:03:17,179
I got a source that says the FDA's
gonna pull the trigger on mifepristone.
50
00:03:17,357 --> 00:03:18,686
- Mifepristone is?
- RU-486.
51
00:03:18,859 --> 00:03:22,562
The FDA is an independent agency.
I could get in trouble for knowing this.
52
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:24,567
No, it's nonproprietary information...
53
00:03:24,743 --> 00:03:27,414
...delivered by a nongovernmental
person. You're fine.
54
00:03:27,581 --> 00:03:30,952
I'll ask one of my 14 lawyers about that.
When are they gonna announce?
55
00:03:31,128 --> 00:03:33,667
That's the thing.
They're doing it on Monday.
56
00:03:34,675 --> 00:03:37,345
- Monday?
- Right before his speech.
57
00:03:38,389 --> 00:03:40,929
Okay, thanks.
58
00:03:41,143 --> 00:03:44,893
C.J.! There are now seven
different drafts of the speech.
59
00:03:45,066 --> 00:03:46,859
The president likes none of them.
60
00:03:47,028 --> 00:03:50,529
Toby and Doug can't get together.
Sam and Doug can't get together.
61
00:03:50,700 --> 00:03:52,278
Leo and Bruno can't get together.
62
00:03:52,453 --> 00:03:55,408
- I gotta talk to you...
- If anyone asks, the speech is done.
63
00:03:55,582 --> 00:03:57,576
That's what I've been saying. Listen.
64
00:03:57,752 --> 00:03:59,082
Come here.
65
00:04:01,633 --> 00:04:06,013
Paulson got it from a source,
the FDA is signing off on RU-486.
66
00:04:06,182 --> 00:04:08,804
- When are they going to announce?
- On Monday.
67
00:04:08,977 --> 00:04:11,470
Come on! You didn't take care of this?
68
00:04:11,649 --> 00:04:15,150
I told all departments, no news on
Monday. We get the cycle to ourselves.
69
00:04:15,321 --> 00:04:16,696
FDA's an independent agency.
70
00:04:16,864 --> 00:04:19,073
We're kicking off our campaign
on the same day...
71
00:04:19,244 --> 00:04:20,443
- Yeah.
- Perfect.
72
00:04:20,621 --> 00:04:22,449
- I'm sorry, but...
- I'm also not wild...
73
00:04:22,624 --> 00:04:25,294
...about pictures of him
on the plane without his wife.
74
00:04:25,462 --> 00:04:28,630
- I can't generate images of her.
- She's getting in in the morning?
75
00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:32,006
- We'll do some pictures.
- I'll call Gail Trent, confirm this thing.
76
00:04:32,181 --> 00:04:34,887
- Maybe we want to postpone.
- Why?
77
00:04:35,060 --> 00:04:37,932
I don't know,
he's got laryngitis or something.
78
00:04:40,861 --> 00:04:42,190
C.J.
79
00:04:42,363 --> 00:04:44,689
Anybody asks, the speech is done.
We're putting...
80
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:47,538
- Yeah. What's Toby's problem with me?
- What do you mean?
81
00:04:47,705 --> 00:04:50,244
He's got a problem with me.
I'd like to understand it.
82
00:04:50,417 --> 00:04:52,292
- I wouldn't worry about it.
- I do worry.
83
00:04:52,462 --> 00:04:54,456
I have a job to do.
He's making it harder.
84
00:04:54,631 --> 00:04:55,913
I don't...
Connie?
85
00:04:56,093 --> 00:04:57,885
The place has
a communications center...
86
00:04:58,053 --> 00:05:01,176
...conference room, an operating room,
offices and an apartment.
87
00:05:01,350 --> 00:05:02,680
This is a nice ride.
88
00:05:02,853 --> 00:05:06,770
Yes. If anyone asks, the speech is done,
they're putting finishing touches on it.
89
00:05:06,942 --> 00:05:08,272
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
90
00:05:08,445 --> 00:05:11,234
M&M's with the seal of the president.
91
00:05:13,286 --> 00:05:15,778
- C.J., when do we see an advance?
- Very soon.
92
00:05:15,956 --> 00:05:18,793
- The speech's done?
- Done. They're ironing a few things out.
93
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,335
Toby and Sam have no problems
with Bruno's people?
94
00:05:21,507 --> 00:05:24,843
Everybody's getting along great,
dotting the I's and crossing the T's.
95
00:05:25,013 --> 00:05:28,465
This thing reads like an Andy Williams
special! We're starting over...
96
00:05:28,684 --> 00:05:32,222
...on a white piece of paper!
- I'm gonna take my seat now.
97
00:05:33,192 --> 00:05:36,859
Good evening. From the flight deck,
this is Lieutenant Colonel Gantry.
98
00:05:37,031 --> 00:05:38,574
We're closing our cabin doors...
99
00:05:38,742 --> 00:05:41,614
... and we ask that you be seated
in preparation for takeoff.
100
00:05:41,789 --> 00:05:45,123
We'll be flying at a cruising altitude
of 35,000 feet.
101
00:05:45,293 --> 00:05:48,083
Our flight path will take us over
Hartford, Connecticut...
102
00:05:48,257 --> 00:05:49,715
... Greenfield, Massachusetts.
103
00:05:49,884 --> 00:05:53,255
And our flight time to Pease
Air Force Base, New Hampshire...
104
00:05:53,431 --> 00:05:56,102
... will be approximately one
hour and 10 minutes.
105
00:05:56,269 --> 00:05:58,762
We anticipate a smooth flight.
106
00:06:47,775 --> 00:06:51,110
Can you tell us right now if you'll
be seeking a second term?
107
00:06:51,321 --> 00:06:55,155
Yeah. And I'm going to win.
108
00:06:55,370 --> 00:06:57,827
That announcement coming
about 15 minutes ago...
109
00:06:57,999 --> 00:07:01,500
... was made on the heels of
the president's stunning disclosure...
110
00:07:09,726 --> 00:07:11,554
- Abbey?
- Jed?
111
00:07:12,689 --> 00:07:15,181
- Listen.
- You missed it. It was incredible.
112
00:07:15,358 --> 00:07:16,641
- Look...
- All over the news.
113
00:07:16,820 --> 00:07:18,196
- Abbey...
- This crazy man...
114
00:07:18,363 --> 00:07:21,366
...got up in front of millions of people
and screwed his wife.
115
00:07:21,536 --> 00:07:24,206
That's funny,
because that's sort of what I did.
116
00:07:25,041 --> 00:07:26,619
You can't think this is funny.
117
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:28,834
- I don't.
- You can't think this is a joke.
118
00:07:29,006 --> 00:07:31,083
I don't. I swear.
119
00:07:32,761 --> 00:07:34,921
- There are ways of getting out of this.
- Yeah?
120
00:07:35,097 --> 00:07:37,472
You buried Dolores Landingham
this afternoon.
121
00:07:37,644 --> 00:07:40,136
- You couldn't be expected to make...
- Are you gonna...?
122
00:07:40,315 --> 00:07:41,690
Let time go by, a few weeks.
123
00:07:41,859 --> 00:07:44,897
Say you've consulted
with your doctors, your family...
124
00:07:45,072 --> 00:07:46,982
...which, amazingly,
people would believe.
125
00:07:47,159 --> 00:07:50,363
- And then you say you decided...
- I'm running again, Abbey.
126
00:07:54,294 --> 00:07:55,624
Yeah?
127
00:07:57,006 --> 00:07:59,926
- Look, I have a lot to say.
- You and me both.
128
00:08:02,474 --> 00:08:03,803
Go ahead.
129
00:08:04,477 --> 00:08:06,352
- What?
- Say what you have to say.
130
00:08:06,856 --> 00:08:08,266
No. I have to go down.
131
00:08:08,441 --> 00:08:11,064
They're gonna brief me
on an evacuation plan for Haiti.
132
00:08:11,238 --> 00:08:13,148
All right.
133
00:08:13,323 --> 00:08:15,068
You gonna be up later?
134
00:08:15,703 --> 00:08:17,032
When?
135
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:18,581
Probably 3 or 4.
136
00:08:18,748 --> 00:08:21,502
Am I usually up at 3 or 4
in the morning?
137
00:08:22,129 --> 00:08:23,459
Not usually.
138
00:08:23,631 --> 00:08:25,839
Then let's assume I won't be tonight.
139
00:08:40,324 --> 00:08:41,653
Donna!
140
00:08:41,827 --> 00:08:43,904
- Where you been?
- Motorcade left without me.
141
00:08:44,079 --> 00:08:47,035
- I drove back with Ed and Larry.
- They couldn't drive faster?
142
00:08:47,210 --> 00:08:49,251
Not faster
than a presidential motorcade.
143
00:08:49,422 --> 00:08:51,961
Set up a conference call
so Cabinet Affairs can brief.
144
00:08:52,134 --> 00:08:54,756
- The subcabinet too?
- Yeah, and congressional leaders.
145
00:08:54,930 --> 00:08:56,757
- You ever seen anything like this?
- No.
146
00:08:56,933 --> 00:08:58,678
- I'm monumentally pumped.
- Me too.
147
00:08:58,853 --> 00:09:01,013
Set up the calls, would you?
148
00:09:06,281 --> 00:09:10,447
- Toby?
- Leo's gotta cancel the public schedule.
149
00:09:10,621 --> 00:09:12,579
- Done.
- You're talking to Cabinet Affairs?
150
00:09:12,749 --> 00:09:14,908
Donna's setting it up.
Why aren't you smiling?
151
00:09:15,086 --> 00:09:17,294
- Because I'm wet.
- I'm wet and I'm smiling.
152
00:09:17,465 --> 00:09:19,091
I'm smiling on the inside. Ginger?
153
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:21,752
Public Liaison wrote up talking points
two hours ago.
154
00:09:21,930 --> 00:09:24,423
- They're no good anymore.
- When will we get new ones?
155
00:09:24,601 --> 00:09:26,974
- Public Liaison? Half an hour.
- Fifteen minutes.
156
00:09:27,146 --> 00:09:31,016
Call the network. Get one of our people
on every single broadcast tonight.
157
00:09:31,195 --> 00:09:33,901
Okay, let's try not to do that a lot.
158
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:36,360
- Why isn't he smiling?
- On the inside.
159
00:09:36,536 --> 00:09:39,741
Round up medical experts for morning
shows and divvy up columnists.
160
00:09:39,917 --> 00:09:40,947
Nancy?
161
00:09:41,127 --> 00:09:44,294
- Need C.J. as soon as she's free.
- She'll be down there for hours.
162
00:09:44,464 --> 00:09:46,459
- She's surrounded.
- Get her on the phone.
163
00:09:46,635 --> 00:09:50,505
- And I need Oliver Babish.
- You gonna put him in the briefing room?
164
00:09:50,683 --> 00:09:53,305
Send a message we're not
worried about the legal side.
165
00:10:35,418 --> 00:10:37,329
What are you all looking at?
166
00:10:38,006 --> 00:10:39,751
Good evening, Mr. President.
167
00:10:43,765 --> 00:10:46,602
What do you guys think the news
is gonna lead with tomorrow?
168
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:48,431
Sir?
169
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:51,776
Yeah.
170
00:10:58,914 --> 00:11:00,575
- Haiti?
- Yeah.
171
00:11:00,749 --> 00:11:02,910
All right. Don't worry about Haiti.
172
00:11:03,087 --> 00:11:05,709
Let's do what we have to.
173
00:11:09,471 --> 00:11:10,967
Mike, is that four AV-8s?
174
00:11:11,141 --> 00:11:12,969
Yeah. And four AH-1 s.
175
00:11:13,144 --> 00:11:15,352
- Good evening.
- Good evening, Mr. President.
176
00:11:15,523 --> 00:11:18,276
Mr. President,
this is Operation Swift Fury.
177
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:20,604
We deploy a landing ship
helicopter assault...
178
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,319
...to evacuate both the Americans
and Dessaline.
179
00:11:23,492 --> 00:11:24,775
What's in the LHA?
180
00:11:24,954 --> 00:11:28,158
Four CH-53E's with 35 troops
for combat support...
181
00:11:28,334 --> 00:11:30,208
...and eight CH-46 helicopters.
182
00:11:30,421 --> 00:11:33,839
- That's for cargo and ammunition?
- Yeah. We also have four Cobras...
183
00:11:34,052 --> 00:11:36,971
...two Hueys for command and control,
and four Harriers.
184
00:11:37,140 --> 00:11:39,298
- Where do you launch?
- A soccer stadium there.
185
00:11:39,477 --> 00:11:42,479
- Le Stade Alain Toussaint.
- It's a quarter-mile from the embassy.
186
00:11:42,648 --> 00:11:44,642
So these helicopters land
on the roof and...
187
00:11:44,817 --> 00:11:47,145
Take the Americans
and Dessaline to the Enterprise.
188
00:11:47,322 --> 00:11:48,901
Code word"Paris"
for the operation.
189
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,656
What are the possibilities
of civilian casualties?
190
00:11:51,828 --> 00:11:54,831
A curfew's been imposed,
the Signal Intelligence flights say...
191
00:11:55,001 --> 00:11:58,751
...there aren't civilians within 2 blocks.
- How long do I have?
192
00:11:58,923 --> 00:12:02,875
- Paris will be in place in two hours, sir.
- Okay. Thank you.
193
00:12:03,055 --> 00:12:04,764
- Mr. President.
- Yeah?
194
00:12:27,008 --> 00:12:29,216
Hey, redheaded girl.
195
00:12:30,179 --> 00:12:31,509
Margaret.
196
00:12:31,724 --> 00:12:33,350
Okay. I need to see him.
197
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,927
He's in his cabin. You can go back.
198
00:12:42,866 --> 00:12:44,740
Yeah.
199
00:12:45,287 --> 00:12:46,616
- Listen...
- Bruno...
200
00:12:46,788 --> 00:12:47,821
- Look...
- Hang on.
201
00:12:47,999 --> 00:12:50,492
No, I won't hang on.
Who told Doug to write a draft?
202
00:12:50,670 --> 00:12:52,747
- This was simply in order...
- Who told him...?
203
00:12:52,923 --> 00:12:55,498
- I told him.
- It's got an apology. Also, it stinks.
204
00:12:55,678 --> 00:12:57,220
Yeah. Okay, it lacks a certain...
205
00:12:57,431 --> 00:13:00,636
- Quality?
- Yeah. Doug isn't here to write poetry.
206
00:13:00,810 --> 00:13:03,434
The purpose is to demonstrate
that an apology can work.
207
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:04,812
- He won't apologize.
- Why?
208
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:07,737
It's his official campaign
announcement, not Oprah.
209
00:13:07,905 --> 00:13:10,480
- Doing Oprah wouldn't kill him.
- I believe it might.
210
00:13:10,659 --> 00:13:11,739
In four weeks...
211
00:13:11,911 --> 00:13:14,618
In four weeks, he's made
a full disclosure of his health.
212
00:13:14,791 --> 00:13:16,701
He has educated
the public about MS.
213
00:13:16,877 --> 00:13:19,584
He has done this every day.
He has done everything...
214
00:13:19,757 --> 00:13:23,506
Except apologized. In four weeks,
he has saved Haiti for democracy...
215
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,433
...funded the Justice Department's
tobacco lawsuit...
216
00:13:26,601 --> 00:13:30,220
...watched the market rebound.
He has done everything, but apologize.
217
00:13:30,398 --> 00:13:32,606
You think he apologizes
and his numbers go up?
218
00:13:32,777 --> 00:13:35,067
I think you brought me
because they haven't yet.
219
00:13:35,239 --> 00:13:37,482
- They have.
- Two points in a month?
220
00:13:37,660 --> 00:13:42,656
If he runs for re-election 27 years
from now, he's got a fighting chance.
221
00:13:42,834 --> 00:13:46,454
I gotta make calls.
Talk to me about this in town.
222
00:13:54,084 --> 00:13:56,208
Ladies, gentlemen,
Lieutenant Colonel Gantry.
223
00:13:56,379 --> 00:13:59,049
We're making our final approach
to Pease Air Force Base.
224
00:13:59,216 --> 00:14:01,708
If you'll take your seats
and fasten your seat belts.
225
00:14:01,888 --> 00:14:04,177
- Listen.
- You should sit down. We're landing.
226
00:14:04,349 --> 00:14:06,973
- I talked to Gail Trent.
- And?
227
00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:09,353
She confirmed it. The FDA
is going to announce.
228
00:14:09,523 --> 00:14:10,984
- On Monday.
- Yeah.
229
00:14:11,152 --> 00:14:13,146
What were they talking
about back there?
230
00:14:13,322 --> 00:14:14,568
- Leo and Bruno?
- Yeah.
231
00:14:14,741 --> 00:14:16,734
A lack of yeast in our numbers.
232
00:14:17,953 --> 00:14:20,956
"Yeast" is a fun word to say.
233
00:14:21,126 --> 00:14:23,749
I'm sorry I got in your face before.
234
00:14:23,922 --> 00:14:25,962
Our numbers are less than yeasty.
235
00:14:26,133 --> 00:14:27,961
They are.
236
00:14:30,307 --> 00:14:32,300
We need a new poll
in the field right now.
237
00:14:32,477 --> 00:14:35,230
- Yes. I'll tell you why.
- Because the first one was bogus.
238
00:14:35,397 --> 00:14:36,727
Totally. I'll tell you why.
239
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:40,400
1170 voters in one industrial state
isn't representative of the country.
240
00:14:40,571 --> 00:14:44,323
Plus, people respond differently to voting
out a governor versus a president.
241
00:14:44,495 --> 00:14:47,069
Governors are expendable.
If the country's on track...
242
00:14:47,250 --> 00:14:50,620
...they want to keep the president...
- In charge, if at all possible.
243
00:14:50,797 --> 00:14:53,253
- Bartlet's always scored...
- High in trustworthy.
244
00:14:53,426 --> 00:14:55,883
So he has a shield
against character attacks?
245
00:14:56,055 --> 00:14:59,508
Yes. Not to mention, the information
presented during the interview...
246
00:14:59,685 --> 00:15:01,478
...informed the public MS isn't fatal.
247
00:15:01,647 --> 00:15:04,020
We need to put another poll
in the field now.
248
00:15:04,192 --> 00:15:08,489
Thank you all for coming around to the
self-evident point I made five minutes ago.
249
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:12,455
- We gotta put another poll in the field.
- What happened?
250
00:15:12,621 --> 00:15:15,957
- My ride left without me.
- Mine too. I got a ride with Larry and Ed.
251
00:15:16,128 --> 00:15:21,041
Yes. Didn't you see me jumping up
and down, waving my arms in the air?
252
00:15:21,219 --> 00:15:22,797
- I thought you were happy.
- Me too.
253
00:15:22,971 --> 00:15:25,593
- You're an idiot.
- Which one of us are you talking to?
254
00:15:25,767 --> 00:15:28,556
Listen to me. He did incredibly
well on TV tonight.
255
00:15:28,730 --> 00:15:31,686
- We gotta put another poll in the field.
- We know.
256
00:15:32,570 --> 00:15:35,239
There's a difference
between a governor and a president.
257
00:15:35,407 --> 00:15:39,538
1170 people in Michigan
won't give you a good sample.
258
00:15:39,706 --> 00:15:42,625
- This is a lot like Dupont Circle.
- We're there already, Joe.
259
00:15:44,296 --> 00:15:47,916
- I was stuck in the rain.
- Put the poll in the field.
260
00:15:57,608 --> 00:16:00,397
The hotel is up on the right.
261
00:16:00,571 --> 00:16:02,113
What's mifepristone?
262
00:16:02,281 --> 00:16:04,774
A pill that will abort a pregnancy
up to 49 days.
263
00:16:04,953 --> 00:16:07,161
- Mifepristone is RU-486?
- Yes.
264
00:16:07,332 --> 00:16:08,993
- And the FDA's approving it?
- Yes.
265
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:10,247
Hallelujah!
266
00:16:11,380 --> 00:16:15,000
See, I think you're thinking somehow
this pill means more sex for you.
267
00:16:15,177 --> 00:16:18,762
No. I'm thinking it's a terrific medical
advancement for women.
268
00:16:18,933 --> 00:16:22,220
- You didn't think I'd be for it?
- Of course you are. I'm for it.
269
00:16:22,397 --> 00:16:25,564
- Everybody's for it, just not on Monday.
- Why not?
270
00:16:25,734 --> 00:16:28,940
It'll get folded into our news cycle
when we want it to ourselves.
271
00:16:29,116 --> 00:16:31,275
It gives pro-lifers something
to scream about.
272
00:16:31,451 --> 00:16:33,363
It'll look like
the campaign screwed up.
273
00:16:33,539 --> 00:16:36,661
The press will write a process story
instead of about our issues.
274
00:16:36,836 --> 00:16:39,328
- Isn't this one of our issues?
- Not on Monday.
275
00:16:39,507 --> 00:16:41,416
I'm checking in.
276
00:16:41,969 --> 00:16:44,127
Sure, I'll get the bags.
277
00:16:49,856 --> 00:16:52,182
- What do you need?
- Absolut martini on the rocks.
278
00:16:52,359 --> 00:16:53,689
- Olives?
- Thank you.
279
00:16:53,862 --> 00:16:57,031
- Is it always this crowded?
- Only when the circus is in town.
280
00:16:57,201 --> 00:16:59,111
Toby Ziegler, what did you bring me?
281
00:16:59,287 --> 00:17:01,328
M&M's from Air Force One, Lois.
282
00:17:01,499 --> 00:17:03,042
Thank you. Jack Daniel's.
283
00:17:03,252 --> 00:17:04,628
Yes, please.
284
00:17:08,384 --> 00:17:11,007
- Did you...?
- I read it, yes.
285
00:17:11,181 --> 00:17:13,554
It was to demonstrate
that an apology can work.
286
00:17:13,768 --> 00:17:15,512
He's not gonna apologize.
287
00:17:17,273 --> 00:17:20,691
- What about the rest of the speech?
- We're starting over.
288
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:26,867
Toby, if he doesn't apologize
on Monday...
289
00:17:27,039 --> 00:17:30,160
...we're going to spend the next
15 months being asked why.
290
00:17:30,335 --> 00:17:33,005
Then when he does,
it's gonna be because he had to.
291
00:17:33,173 --> 00:17:35,297
There are moments,
and when they're missed...
292
00:17:35,468 --> 00:17:37,545
- I've done this before.
- Like Haiti.
293
00:17:38,097 --> 00:17:41,384
Don't talk about military strategy
in a conversation like this.
294
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:44,053
If the table had been set,
he'd been able to invade...
295
00:17:44,232 --> 00:17:47,068
You wanna speak up?
I'm not sure the press corps heard you.
296
00:17:47,236 --> 00:17:49,943
- Toby. Jack Daniel's.
- Thank you.
297
00:17:50,491 --> 00:17:52,236
You guys friends?
298
00:17:53,453 --> 00:17:55,080
Yeah.
299
00:17:58,921 --> 00:18:01,129
- Is he in?
- He's waiting for you.
300
00:18:02,301 --> 00:18:04,675
Joey's putting a poll
in the field in the morning.
301
00:18:04,847 --> 00:18:09,227
Good. The first poll was bogus.
1170 people in Michigan can't...
302
00:18:09,396 --> 00:18:12,184
- Leo, we've been through this.
- All right. Well, good.
303
00:18:12,985 --> 00:18:15,191
- Where's the president?
- In the residence.
304
00:18:15,362 --> 00:18:17,072
How's the first lady?
305
00:18:17,241 --> 00:18:18,783
With everything on our plates...
306
00:18:18,952 --> 00:18:21,195
...we don't need to be
marriage counselors now.
307
00:18:21,372 --> 00:18:24,578
No, we should, because you
and I would be really good at it.
308
00:18:24,836 --> 00:18:27,245
- Excuse me.
- They're ready?
309
00:18:27,841 --> 00:18:30,416
- Here we go.
- Cobra 2, copy.
310
00:18:30,595 --> 00:18:33,466
Cobra 2, what's your position?
311
00:18:33,642 --> 00:18:35,303
Raven, Cobra 1 is Charlie.
312
00:18:35,478 --> 00:18:37,187
Raven, Cobra 2 is Charlie.
313
00:18:37,356 --> 00:18:40,561
Copy. Cobra 1, Cobra 2,
you are go for mission status.
314
00:18:40,736 --> 00:18:44,570
We'll hear Ratner from Port-au-Prince
completing each operation phase.
315
00:18:44,742 --> 00:18:47,032
- Where are we?
- Both Cobras are in position.
316
00:18:47,455 --> 00:18:48,866
Raven, Dragon is Delta.
317
00:18:49,082 --> 00:18:52,418
Copy. Dragon, you are go
for Operation Swift Fury.
318
00:18:52,629 --> 00:18:55,715
- How long does it take?
- They'll start in 40 seconds.
319
00:18:55,884 --> 00:18:59,635
They ready the two pairs of Cobras over
Bazan's troops to secure the landing.
320
00:18:59,807 --> 00:19:02,050
Then we pick up
53 Americans and Dessaline.
321
00:19:02,228 --> 00:19:04,352
And haul ass to Paris.
322
00:19:04,523 --> 00:19:07,062
Yeah. How are you doing?
323
00:19:09,071 --> 00:19:10,400
Not bad. How about you?
324
00:19:10,574 --> 00:19:13,066
Not bad. Wish I could have
been at the funeral.
325
00:19:13,245 --> 00:19:15,072
You had your hands full.
326
00:19:15,248 --> 00:19:16,872
I was proud of our boy.
327
00:19:17,041 --> 00:19:19,748
- Yeah.
- How's the first lady doing?
328
00:19:20,171 --> 00:19:23,589
- Let's not do that right now.
- Yeah.
329
00:19:37,949 --> 00:19:40,785
This silence makes me crazy.
330
00:19:54,475 --> 00:19:55,756
Come on.
331
00:19:55,936 --> 00:20:00,066
Raven, Dragon has all personnel
secured. Dragon is lifting to Paris.
332
00:20:00,276 --> 00:20:04,572
Copy. Dragon is lifting to Paris.
Dragon is away.
333
00:20:04,741 --> 00:20:07,909
Raven, Cobra 1 is taking fire.
It's from across...
334
00:20:08,079 --> 00:20:11,663
It's from inside the building across
from the embassy. Engaging. I'm hit.
335
00:20:11,834 --> 00:20:15,372
Raven, Cobra 2. Cobra 1 has taken some
fire. Smoke's coming from the tail.
336
00:20:15,548 --> 00:20:18,220
-He's hit in the cockpit.
-Cobra 1, what is your status?
337
00:20:18,387 --> 00:20:20,629
Raven, Cobra 1.
I've got some injuries.
338
00:20:20,807 --> 00:20:23,181
Copy that. Cobra 1,
can you make it back to Paris?
339
00:20:23,353 --> 00:20:24,599
Yeah, we're gonna try.
340
00:20:24,772 --> 00:20:28,392
Raven, Cobra 2. I'm engaged
with a squad of HNP troops.
341
00:20:28,568 --> 00:20:29,981
Several light machine guns.
342
00:20:30,154 --> 00:20:34,107
Engaging with 20-millimeter
and 2. 75 rockets.
343
00:20:36,248 --> 00:20:40,034
Raven, Cobra 2. Target neutralized.
Returning to Paris.
344
00:20:40,213 --> 00:20:42,337
Copy that.
345
00:20:43,968 --> 00:20:45,463
All right.
346
00:20:46,222 --> 00:20:48,714
Well, we're in it now.
347
00:21:08,172 --> 00:21:13,799
Our hotel is located just a few miles
from the sight of John Goffe's Mill.
348
00:21:14,641 --> 00:21:18,177
"Hunter John, as he was called,
was granted the land as a reward...
349
00:21:18,355 --> 00:21:21,523
...for his services to the colony
in the French and Indian Wars."
350
00:21:21,735 --> 00:21:24,940
Let me tell you something,
we don't do that enough anymore.
351
00:21:25,114 --> 00:21:28,700
"I seek re-election to the presidency
not because of its glories...
352
00:21:28,871 --> 00:21:30,580
...but because of its difficulties."
353
00:21:30,749 --> 00:21:33,206
Challenges? Challenge is better
than difficulties.
354
00:21:33,378 --> 00:21:35,667
Yes."Later in life...
355
00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:39,970
...he built the water-powered grist mill
with his son Colonel John Goffe...
356
00:21:40,138 --> 00:21:44,220
...and his grandson Major John Goffe."
The Goffes.
357
00:21:44,395 --> 00:21:48,181
Will"challenges" make us think one
of the difficulties is that he's got MS?
358
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:50,816
It makes us think
he's up for a challenge.
359
00:21:50,989 --> 00:21:52,484
I agree.
360
00:21:52,658 --> 00:21:53,773
- C.J.?
- Yeah.
361
00:21:53,952 --> 00:21:56,076
- You wanna play some pool?
- I don't know how.
362
00:21:56,247 --> 00:21:57,528
You want to play for money?
363
00:21:57,707 --> 00:21:59,867
- Sure.
- What are you doing?
364
00:22:00,044 --> 00:22:03,295
I'm drawing inspiration from
the strength of the Goffe family.
365
00:22:03,465 --> 00:22:06,671
The descendants of Hunter John
have been owners and operators...
366
00:22:06,847 --> 00:22:09,635
...of the Goffe family mill for
over two centuries now.
367
00:22:09,810 --> 00:22:13,975
"In 1845 when Theodore 'Ody' Goffe
was the proprietor...
368
00:22:14,150 --> 00:22:16,559
...the mill burned to the ground."
369
00:22:17,822 --> 00:22:20,112
Well, that totally blows.
370
00:22:20,994 --> 00:22:22,323
C.J.!
371
00:22:22,495 --> 00:22:25,747
The operation was launched from
the deck of the USS Enterprise...
372
00:22:25,917 --> 00:22:27,578
...60 miles off the coast of Haiti.
373
00:22:27,754 --> 00:22:31,753
If you need details about troops and
equipment, I refer you to the Pentagon.
374
00:22:31,926 --> 00:22:34,598
- C.J.!
- Getting back to last night for a second.
375
00:22:34,765 --> 00:22:38,183
The president was briefed on the
evacuation after the press conference?
376
00:22:38,354 --> 00:22:40,264
- That's right.
- What was his state of mind?
377
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,647
His state of mind was
he's commander in chief.
378
00:22:42,818 --> 00:22:45,607
Was he prepared to make
a life-and-death decision...
379
00:22:45,782 --> 00:22:47,325
...after what he'd been through?
380
00:22:47,493 --> 00:22:50,245
He'd been through a TV interview
and a press conference.
381
00:22:50,414 --> 00:22:53,037
The president finds you annoying,
but not debilitating.
382
00:22:53,210 --> 00:22:54,290
- C.J.!
- Chris.
383
00:22:54,462 --> 00:22:56,005
The president announced a plot...
384
00:22:56,173 --> 00:22:58,879
...to conceal a life-threatening
illness from the people.
385
00:22:59,052 --> 00:23:02,008
- His MS isn't life-threatening.
- So it had no effect on his...
386
00:23:02,182 --> 00:23:03,808
And there was no plot. Steve.
387
00:23:04,436 --> 00:23:07,189
-When did he tell you of his condition?
-Sorry?
388
00:23:07,357 --> 00:23:08,733
-When did he...?
-A week ago.
389
00:23:08,901 --> 00:23:11,440
-Did the president tell you?
-No. Leo McGarry told me.
390
00:23:11,614 --> 00:23:14,569
-Why didn 't the president tell you?
-Because Leo McGarry did.
391
00:23:14,743 --> 00:23:16,903
Describe your relationship
with the president.
392
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,360
Just good friends, Katie.
393
00:23:18,541 --> 00:23:20,499
How is she doing?
394
00:23:20,669 --> 00:23:24,206
- It's getting away from her a little.
-I'm not answering that.
395
00:23:24,383 --> 00:23:25,759
They're making her the story.
396
00:23:25,927 --> 00:23:29,179
Yeah, listen, I wanted to ask you
about something.
397
00:23:29,349 --> 00:23:32,103
The Justice Department
needs another 30 million dollars...
398
00:23:32,271 --> 00:23:36,021
...to fund its suit against the tobacco
companies. We want them to have it.
399
00:23:36,192 --> 00:23:39,231
The Appropriation Subcommittee
on Commerce, State and Justice...
400
00:23:39,407 --> 00:23:41,981
...handles that money.
They won't bring it to a vote.
401
00:23:42,161 --> 00:23:43,822
- Kalmbach's the chairman?
- Yeah.
402
00:23:43,997 --> 00:23:46,834
And now I want to turn the heat up
and issue a release.
403
00:23:47,586 --> 00:23:48,618
Incendiary?
404
00:23:48,796 --> 00:23:52,297
Yeah. It calls them well-fed members
lining their campaign war chest...
405
00:23:52,468 --> 00:23:55,886
...and being complicit in hundreds
of thousands of negligent homicides.
406
00:23:56,057 --> 00:23:59,345
- Nice.
- We didn't send the release out...
407
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,309
...because of the MS announcement
and Mrs. Landingham.
408
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:05,440
But in a day or two, I want to leak it.
What do you think?
409
00:24:07,867 --> 00:24:09,659
Yeah, that's really stupid.
410
00:24:10,163 --> 00:24:13,331
- Why?
- Offense makes people play defense.
411
00:24:13,501 --> 00:24:16,788
I'm raising the profile to bring
public opinion down on him.
412
00:24:16,964 --> 00:24:20,300
- Play defense with that.
- Congress appropriates the money.
413
00:24:20,470 --> 00:24:23,259
You're not gonna get it
by pissing off the appropriators.
414
00:24:23,433 --> 00:24:25,261
Watch me.
415
00:24:25,436 --> 00:24:26,896
Thanks for asking my opinion.
416
00:24:27,064 --> 00:24:29,022
- No sweat.
-I'm not answering that.
417
00:24:29,192 --> 00:24:30,520
You don 't know?
418
00:24:30,693 --> 00:24:33,068
It has nothing to do
with the president sharing...
419
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,492
...health information with the public.
- Let's get away from it all.
420
00:24:36,662 --> 00:24:39,333
You need to be able to distinguish
between the things...
421
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:40,828
... we're supposed to know...
422
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:43,625
... and the things we're supposed
to know and you don 't.
423
00:24:46,093 --> 00:24:48,882
The Pentagon briefing's scheduled
for 3 this afternoon.
424
00:24:49,056 --> 00:24:50,884
I'll keep you posted
on the changes.
425
00:24:55,858 --> 00:24:58,100
Leo talked to me, you know.
426
00:24:59,738 --> 00:25:01,780
I said, Leo talked to me.
427
00:25:03,495 --> 00:25:04,824
Yeah?
428
00:25:05,999 --> 00:25:09,285
- Yeah.
- About what?
429
00:25:20,688 --> 00:25:22,766
Your shot.
430
00:25:28,617 --> 00:25:31,953
Strategically, I felt that
was the wise thing to do.
431
00:25:33,583 --> 00:25:38,164
Leo talked to me. I know
what you're thinking about doing.
432
00:25:56,384 --> 00:25:59,138
- Good morning, Mr. President.
- Good morning, Mr. President.
433
00:25:59,306 --> 00:26:01,300
We're talking about a display of force?
434
00:26:01,476 --> 00:26:03,516
Yes, sir. Bazan sees
what he's up against.
435
00:26:03,687 --> 00:26:05,017
And what is he up against?
436
00:26:05,191 --> 00:26:07,600
We can buzz Port-au-Prince
with a strike formation.
437
00:26:07,778 --> 00:26:09,855
- Five F-18 fighters.
- It'll get his attention.
438
00:26:10,031 --> 00:26:12,488
Isn't it possible they
could shoot at us again?
439
00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:15,366
We'll fly an E-2 Hawkeye
with a radar dome.
440
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:17,118
It picks up weapon signals?
441
00:26:17,292 --> 00:26:22,041
Yes, sir. We'd know before they reached
Port-au-Prince if they were in danger.
442
00:26:22,217 --> 00:26:25,551
Peter, State's exploring the effectiveness
of immediate sanctions?
443
00:26:25,721 --> 00:26:28,974
We're exploring it. But we've been
down that road with Haiti before.
444
00:26:29,144 --> 00:26:31,898
With terrible results
that hurt the wrong people.
445
00:26:32,065 --> 00:26:33,559
Not to pile it on...
446
00:26:33,734 --> 00:26:36,856
...but we have reports of 12 incidents
of cutters intercepting...
447
00:26:37,030 --> 00:26:40,401
...Haitians off the Florida Keys.
If we stretch out the resolution...
448
00:26:40,579 --> 00:26:43,284
- We'll have a refugee crisis.
- Guantánamo Bay.
449
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:50,381
All right, let's start here.
450
00:26:50,552 --> 00:26:53,389
Nancy, Peter, get a message
to the Canadian prime minister.
451
00:26:53,557 --> 00:26:56,762
We intend to restore Dessaline.
The Canadians should tell Bazan...
452
00:26:56,937 --> 00:27:00,688
...if he doesn't move out, we're willing
to move forward with military options.
453
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:03,435
In the meantime,
I'm willing to consider the flyby.
454
00:27:03,614 --> 00:27:05,608
If the flyby doesn't work?
455
00:27:08,831 --> 00:27:12,166
Now you're just bugging me.
That's all.
456
00:27:12,377 --> 00:27:13,754
Thank you, Mr. President.
457
00:27:18,721 --> 00:27:20,181
- Sir?
- Yeah.
458
00:27:20,349 --> 00:27:24,598
We should bear in mind that if we end up
invading Haiti, there will be a belief...
459
00:27:24,772 --> 00:27:26,433
That it was politically motivated.
460
00:27:26,608 --> 00:27:29,445
Yeah. That at the very least
we welcomed...
461
00:27:29,613 --> 00:27:32,485
...an opportunity to distract attention
from the MS story...
462
00:27:32,659 --> 00:27:34,819
...and to show strength
as commander in chief.
463
00:27:34,995 --> 00:27:37,239
Think it's a sign of strength
to invade Haiti?
464
00:27:37,416 --> 00:27:39,540
- I meant...
- Missouri could invade Haiti.
465
00:27:39,711 --> 00:27:41,372
- Yes.
- Sanctions aren't gonna work.
466
00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:45,084
You said it. The Haitian National Police
will get rich off the contraband.
467
00:27:45,262 --> 00:27:48,598
Dessaline was democratically elected.
He's been sitting in his office.
468
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:52,138
He's sitting on the USS Enterprise.
Not to mention they shot at us.
469
00:27:52,314 --> 00:27:53,596
You don't get to do that.
470
00:27:53,775 --> 00:27:55,685
- Sir?
- I'm late.
471
00:28:00,536 --> 00:28:02,528
Everybody's tired.
472
00:28:05,751 --> 00:28:09,122
At some point, we're gonna have
to check the first lady's temperature.
473
00:28:09,299 --> 00:28:11,922
- Okay, you first.
- Yeah.
474
00:28:12,095 --> 00:28:14,338
On Haiti, tell your people
to be careful...
475
00:28:14,516 --> 00:28:18,385
...with public posture not to say or do
anything that could taint any options.
476
00:28:18,564 --> 00:28:19,893
Nobody wants to invade.
477
00:28:20,065 --> 00:28:23,732
Nobody wants to contemplate invading
till we've exhausted diplomatic options.
478
00:28:24,156 --> 00:28:25,817
Yeah.
479
00:28:29,581 --> 00:28:32,204
Charlie? You wanna play?
480
00:28:32,376 --> 00:28:34,750
- Aren't you supposed to be writing?
- I am writing.
481
00:28:34,922 --> 00:28:36,465
I don't see paper.
482
00:28:37,176 --> 00:28:40,925
We can sit back and admit with
grave sensitivity that life isn't fair.
483
00:28:41,098 --> 00:28:43,852
And the less-advantaged
are destined to their lot in life.
484
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:47,391
The problems of those on the other side
of the world should stay there.
485
00:28:47,567 --> 00:28:50,735
Our leaders are cynical and can
never be an instrument to change.
486
00:28:50,905 --> 00:28:52,898
But that, my friends,
is not worthy of you.
487
00:28:53,075 --> 00:28:56,493
It's not worthy of a president,
it's not worthy of a great nation.
488
00:28:56,664 --> 00:28:57,993
It's not worthy of America.
489
00:28:58,167 --> 00:29:00,706
Paper's for wimps.
You wanna play?
490
00:29:00,879 --> 00:29:02,042
No.
491
00:29:02,215 --> 00:29:04,885
- I understand if you're scared.
- I'm not.
492
00:29:05,052 --> 00:29:08,055
I'm saying, if you're scared chicken,
I understand.
493
00:29:08,224 --> 00:29:09,933
- You got 20 bucks?
- Yep.
494
00:29:10,102 --> 00:29:11,894
Put it on the table.
495
00:29:18,155 --> 00:29:20,031
I'll give you the break.
496
00:29:21,034 --> 00:29:24,073
You give me the break,
you're not gonna need that stick.
497
00:29:27,295 --> 00:29:28,494
- Charlie.
- Yeah?
498
00:29:28,672 --> 00:29:30,333
Can I see you for a second?
499
00:29:40,023 --> 00:29:44,153
The president's gonna direct the Attorney
General to appoint a special prosecutor.
500
00:29:44,321 --> 00:29:45,651
- Know what that means?
- Yeah.
501
00:29:45,824 --> 00:29:49,360
- Okay, so you're gonna need a lawyer.
- Actually, I don't think I need one.
502
00:29:49,538 --> 00:29:50,997
- You do.
- I think I'll be fine.
503
00:29:51,165 --> 00:29:52,708
- Really?
- Yeah.
504
00:29:53,376 --> 00:29:55,916
He's gonna ask you everything
you've seen and heard...
505
00:29:56,089 --> 00:29:59,459
...since you started working here.
- I can answer that truthfully.
506
00:29:59,637 --> 00:30:01,963
Then a month later,
he'll ask the same questions.
507
00:30:02,141 --> 00:30:04,762
If your answers change,
they prosecute you for perjury.
508
00:30:05,271 --> 00:30:07,977
- Mr. Babish...
- Oliver's fine.
509
00:30:10,153 --> 00:30:13,524
You prepared to describe every
conversation you had with the president?
510
00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:16,786
Whether he asked you for an aspirin,
or if his hands quivered.
511
00:30:17,246 --> 00:30:20,868
You prepared to answer questions about
your relationship with his daughter?
512
00:30:21,045 --> 00:30:22,920
This is NFL football.
513
00:30:24,342 --> 00:30:26,668
- When is this all gonna happen?
- I don't know.
514
00:30:27,221 --> 00:30:30,390
- How can you not know?
- Grand jury investigations are secret.
515
00:30:30,726 --> 00:30:32,636
So they can knock on my door
one morning?
516
00:30:32,813 --> 00:30:35,981
They will knock on your door
one morning.
517
00:30:37,028 --> 00:30:38,274
How much?
518
00:30:40,367 --> 00:30:42,610
You know, how much do you think?
519
00:30:42,787 --> 00:30:44,911
Assuming you did nothing wrong...
520
00:30:45,082 --> 00:30:48,334
...saw nothing wrong
and heard nothing wrong...
521
00:30:48,504 --> 00:30:50,581
...about 100,000 dollars.
522
00:31:01,899 --> 00:31:04,143
Nice game. It was fun to watch.
523
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:05,859
I'll see you later.
524
00:31:07,450 --> 00:31:09,658
- Charlie?
- Yeah.
525
00:31:09,829 --> 00:31:12,321
- The president and the first lady...
- Toby.
526
00:31:13,292 --> 00:31:14,622
Sorry.
527
00:31:14,794 --> 00:31:18,628
Man, I can't do the job if he's got
to send me out of the room every time...
528
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:23,430
No, you're right. You know what, look,
it's a typical marriage. I've been there.
529
00:31:24,727 --> 00:31:27,848
Well, I haven't, but he's the president
of the United States.
530
00:31:28,024 --> 00:31:31,110
So my guess is, no, it's probably not
a typical marriage.
531
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:33,319
I'll see you later.
532
00:32:03,929 --> 00:32:06,766
I said to you...
I said this,"Do you want food?"
533
00:32:06,934 --> 00:32:09,058
- Yes.
- You said,"No, I don't want any food."
534
00:32:09,229 --> 00:32:12,481
- Now you're eating my food.
- You'd think you'd have learned by now.
535
00:32:12,651 --> 00:32:15,569
- You eating the rest of the sandwich?
- Are you?
536
00:32:18,326 --> 00:32:19,703
- Where is he?
- How you doing?
537
00:32:19,869 --> 00:32:22,161
- I don't care. Where is he?
- Leo's on the phone.
538
00:32:22,333 --> 00:32:24,540
What's the problem?
539
00:32:26,422 --> 00:32:30,921
"Our economy may be stronger. Yet
there are Americans who work longer...
540
00:32:31,096 --> 00:32:35,048
...for less pay and less dignity.
Our crops may feed the world...
541
00:32:35,228 --> 00:32:39,358
...yet there are children whose
stomachs ache with the pain of hunger."
542
00:32:39,526 --> 00:32:41,484
Yes, it's midnight in America.
543
00:32:41,654 --> 00:32:43,944
I'm not sure you can say
"stomachs ache with pain."
544
00:32:44,116 --> 00:32:47,321
- You can, but it's bad. I ran into Sam.
- And?
545
00:32:47,496 --> 00:32:49,740
We'll talk tomorrow.
Is the kitchen still open?
546
00:32:49,916 --> 00:32:51,827
- I'm not eating this potato salad.
- I am.
547
00:32:52,004 --> 00:32:54,128
- Bruno.
- I know, I know.
548
00:32:54,299 --> 00:32:56,874
"Let us shine a light
on dark places in America"?
549
00:32:57,053 --> 00:32:59,295
"Places where all hope
has been banished.
550
00:32:59,474 --> 00:33:02,226
Places where our founders' dreams
are yet to be redeemed."
551
00:33:02,395 --> 00:33:05,018
And then let us kill ourselves
and move to Pakistan.
552
00:33:05,191 --> 00:33:06,353
Why are people here?
553
00:33:06,525 --> 00:33:08,769
- Leo.
- I came to the bar for some privacy.
554
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:13,112
Leo, I'm reading things that would make
the cast of Up With People sit and cry.
555
00:33:13,287 --> 00:33:15,196
We'll work tomorrow.
What are you doing here?
556
00:33:15,373 --> 00:33:17,248
- We were...
- Tomorrow.
557
00:33:19,087 --> 00:33:20,914
I need to talk to you.
558
00:33:22,175 --> 00:33:24,216
The FDA is gonna approve RU-486.
559
00:33:24,387 --> 00:33:26,262
- How do you know?
- C.J. had a source.
560
00:33:26,432 --> 00:33:28,556
We're not supposed
to have that information.
561
00:33:28,727 --> 00:33:33,106
The source was nongovernmental.
Leo, they're doing it on Monday.
562
00:33:34,069 --> 00:33:35,979
- You've confirmed it?
- As well as I can.
563
00:33:36,155 --> 00:33:39,406
I've been at it all night. I'd like
to go through back channels...
564
00:33:39,576 --> 00:33:40,906
...to hold them off.
- No.
565
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,248
Then I think we have to consider
postponing the speech.
566
00:33:45,712 --> 00:33:49,047
I'm going to see the president
in the morning. Let me talk to him.
567
00:33:49,217 --> 00:33:50,760
- All right.
- All right.
568
00:33:52,138 --> 00:33:53,597
These are hot off the presses.
569
00:33:53,766 --> 00:33:55,594
Early numbers?
570
00:33:55,769 --> 00:33:58,688
Yeah. These are just preliminary,
after the first 16 hours.
571
00:33:58,857 --> 00:34:01,266
"How much confidence do you have
in the president?
572
00:34:01,444 --> 00:34:03,318
Great deal: 21 percent.
573
00:34:03,489 --> 00:34:06,196
Somewhat: 24 percent.
Only a little: 15 percent."
574
00:34:06,369 --> 00:34:08,078
"Not at all: 38 percent."
575
00:34:08,247 --> 00:34:11,249
That's 45 percent in the top two boxes.
Better than we thought.
576
00:34:11,418 --> 00:34:14,124
"Do you feel he's physically able
to perform his duties?"
577
00:34:14,298 --> 00:34:17,465
"Probably not" and"definitely not"
at 39 percent.
578
00:34:17,635 --> 00:34:20,342
That number will go down
as we educate the public to MS.
579
00:34:20,516 --> 00:34:22,675
Yeah, with 25 percent
saying they don't know.
580
00:34:22,853 --> 00:34:24,977
What's the bottom line?
581
00:34:26,483 --> 00:34:30,103
For an incumbent to have any chance
at all at this point in the calendar...
582
00:34:30,281 --> 00:34:32,950
...he needs 40 percent.
- If the election were today?
583
00:34:34,369 --> 00:34:36,779
- Forty-one.
- Forty-one percent would re-elect him.
584
00:34:36,957 --> 00:34:39,664
- Thirty-seven elects a new person.
- Twenty-two don't know.
585
00:34:39,837 --> 00:34:42,590
- He's in the ball game.
- I'll set up meetings for tomorrow.
586
00:34:42,758 --> 00:34:46,805
We'll have the final numbers for this set.
We'll figure out where to go from here.
587
00:34:46,972 --> 00:34:48,171
- Josh?
- Yeah.
588
00:34:48,350 --> 00:34:49,726
Listen.
589
00:34:49,894 --> 00:34:52,303
- I was talking to Toby earlier.
- Hey, Ginger.
590
00:34:52,482 --> 00:34:55,353
And I was saying that, actually,
he hasn't apologized.
591
00:34:55,528 --> 00:34:56,643
What do you mean?
592
00:34:56,822 --> 00:34:59,231
I looked over the transcript.
He hasn't apologized.
593
00:34:59,408 --> 00:35:01,450
Yeah, well, I don't know what to say.
594
00:35:01,621 --> 00:35:03,496
- Yeah.
- Let me ask you something.
595
00:35:04,167 --> 00:35:06,837
The release I wrote
about that tobacco appropriation?
596
00:35:07,003 --> 00:35:08,084
Yeah.
597
00:35:08,256 --> 00:35:11,342
What would you think about my
leaking it to the subcommittee?
598
00:35:11,511 --> 00:35:13,054
I wouldn't do it.
599
00:35:14,598 --> 00:35:16,059
I'm doing it.
600
00:35:16,227 --> 00:35:19,182
Okay. You don't think we're
gonna get hung with the apology?
601
00:35:19,357 --> 00:35:20,686
Hang on.
602
00:35:20,859 --> 00:35:23,564
Can you talk about the level of force
you'll show Bazan?
603
00:35:23,737 --> 00:35:26,860
It'll be what's called
an Alpha-strike formation fly-over.
604
00:35:27,034 --> 00:35:30,121
It's five F-18 fighters
and an E-2 Hawkeye.
605
00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:31,749
- C.J.!
- Steve.
606
00:35:31,917 --> 00:35:35,169
The injured Marines. Has the president
spoken to their families?
607
00:35:35,339 --> 00:35:37,215
He expressed gratitude and concern...
608
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:40,553
...to the Marines and their families.
- Did they express concern...
609
00:35:40,723 --> 00:35:44,509
...for the president's health?
- No. His health isn't a matter of concern.
610
00:35:45,938 --> 00:35:48,183
The conversation was focused
on the Marines...
611
00:35:48,359 --> 00:35:51,031
...and their contribution
to our national security.
612
00:35:51,198 --> 00:35:52,527
- C.J.!
- Mark.
613
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:56,152
There are reports of the Coast Guard
intercepting Haitians off Florida.
614
00:35:56,331 --> 00:35:59,867
They're considered economic refugees
and diverted to Guantánamo Bay.
615
00:36:00,170 --> 00:36:01,285
- C.J.!
- Carl.
616
00:36:01,464 --> 00:36:04,217
Does this mean that the president
can't afford to spend...
617
00:36:04,384 --> 00:36:08,254
...his own political capital right now
by accepting mass numbers of refugees?
618
00:36:08,433 --> 00:36:11,007
- That's not a factor.
- C.J.!
619
00:36:11,187 --> 00:36:14,439
Do the president's political problems
make it more or less likely...
620
00:36:14,609 --> 00:36:16,982
...he'll order an invasion?
- That's not a factor.
621
00:36:17,988 --> 00:36:20,527
C.J., would you say
that the president's situation...
622
00:36:20,701 --> 00:36:23,703
...makes it harder for him to focus
on the situation in Haiti?
623
00:36:23,873 --> 00:36:25,867
To be honest,
I think he's relieved...
624
00:36:26,043 --> 00:36:28,202
...to be focusing
on something that matters.
625
00:36:35,767 --> 00:36:38,010
Obviously, what I meant to say was...
626
00:36:38,187 --> 00:36:40,810
Excuse me. Did you just
say he was relieved?
627
00:36:40,983 --> 00:36:42,560
Obviously, what I mean...
628
00:36:54,921 --> 00:36:56,749
- Toby.
- I don't believe it.
629
00:36:56,924 --> 00:36:58,965
- You saw it?
- I was standing right there.
630
00:36:59,136 --> 00:37:01,842
He's relieved he might have
to send troops into battle?
631
00:37:02,766 --> 00:37:05,342
He's relieved he might
put American lives at risk...
632
00:37:05,521 --> 00:37:09,106
...and kill Haitian civilians because
it takes his mind off having lied?
633
00:37:12,824 --> 00:37:15,363
- C.J.
- Just don't say anything for...
634
00:37:15,537 --> 00:37:17,945
Just don't say anything for...
635
00:37:23,632 --> 00:37:25,341
Damn it!
636
00:37:28,097 --> 00:37:30,636
- Tobacco.
- What about it?
637
00:37:31,393 --> 00:37:33,222
Josh wants to send the release.
638
00:37:33,396 --> 00:37:35,391
At the press release?
639
00:37:35,568 --> 00:37:37,360
Yes. It's incendiary.
640
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:39,822
Josh is feeling burned...
641
00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:43,361
...and he's letting his emotions and,
dare I say, ego...
642
00:37:43,538 --> 00:37:46,991
...drive what I think is a delicate situa...
- Hang on.
643
00:37:49,798 --> 00:37:51,507
Holy hell.
644
00:37:59,271 --> 00:38:02,108
Relieved? The president's relieved
to be focusing on Haiti?
645
00:38:02,276 --> 00:38:05,195
- Isn't this what we said to be careful of?
- What happened?
646
00:38:05,364 --> 00:38:08,616
She was asked if his situation
makes it harder to focus on Haiti.
647
00:38:08,786 --> 00:38:10,826
- There was a ramp-up, but...
- What'd she say?
648
00:38:10,997 --> 00:38:12,991
"The president's relieved
to be focusing...
649
00:38:13,166 --> 00:38:15,409
...on something that matters."
- Relieved?
650
00:38:15,588 --> 00:38:17,297
We can argue that she just misspoke.
651
00:38:17,465 --> 00:38:20,801
She meant to say he realizes he's
focusing on something that matters.
652
00:38:20,971 --> 00:38:23,808
- Or he's reiterating...
- I don't like"something that matters."
653
00:38:23,976 --> 00:38:27,144
- Like that he lied doesn't matter.
- She misspoke is all we needed.
654
00:38:27,314 --> 00:38:28,809
We go back.
We say she misspoke.
655
00:38:28,984 --> 00:38:32,235
What if he has to invade?
If he invades Haiti after what...
656
00:38:32,823 --> 00:38:36,110
It's gonna look like he ordered
a military operation to cover up...
657
00:38:36,287 --> 00:38:38,411
- She was tired. She...
- C.J. doesn't misspeak.
658
00:38:38,582 --> 00:38:41,750
If she misspoke, why didn't
she clean it up in the briefing room?
659
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,247
Come to think of it,
why didn't she clean it up?
660
00:38:44,424 --> 00:38:46,167
She is tired. We all are.
661
00:38:46,384 --> 00:38:50,337
Then why don't we go with that, Sam.
Let's go out and say we're all tired.
662
00:38:50,516 --> 00:38:53,555
The president's tired,
complications due to MS.
663
00:38:53,730 --> 00:38:54,929
We haven't had much time.
664
00:38:55,106 --> 00:38:58,977
- A week! How much time do you need?
- Some have had more time than others.
665
00:39:10,005 --> 00:39:11,335
- Margaret.
- Yes, sir.
666
00:39:11,508 --> 00:39:12,884
- Is he alone?
- Yeah.
667
00:39:15,013 --> 00:39:16,722
Come up with something.
668
00:39:31,330 --> 00:39:35,200
Good morning, Mr. McGarry.
You can go on up. He's up by the fence.
669
00:39:53,030 --> 00:39:55,404
You live in the middle of nowhere,
you know that?
670
00:39:55,576 --> 00:39:58,994
Awasiwi odanak.
It's an Abenaki phrase that means:
671
00:39:59,165 --> 00:40:01,123
"Beyond the village."
672
00:40:02,545 --> 00:40:03,957
Good morning, Mr. President.
673
00:40:04,131 --> 00:40:05,246
You want coffee?
674
00:40:05,424 --> 00:40:07,252
- No.
- What's happening?
675
00:40:07,428 --> 00:40:10,216
C.J. 's got it from
a nongovernmental source...
676
00:40:10,389 --> 00:40:13,844
...the FDA's gonna announce
their approval of RU-486.
677
00:40:15,607 --> 00:40:18,146
- When?
- Monday.
678
00:40:21,616 --> 00:40:23,444
Yeah, all right.
679
00:40:35,930 --> 00:40:38,553
Why don't we consider
postponing the speech?
680
00:40:38,726 --> 00:40:40,554
- Why?
- You've got laryngitis.
681
00:40:40,728 --> 00:40:43,138
- No, I mean why?
- It'll get wrapped up in the news...
682
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:45,987
It'll get wrapped up in one news cycle.
I don't give a...
683
00:40:46,153 --> 00:40:50,106
Plus, it gives meat to the right.
Lets the press write a process story.
684
00:40:50,286 --> 00:40:53,739
Right out of the gate, the Bartlet
campaign is pandering and bumbling...
685
00:40:53,916 --> 00:40:56,242
...and performing abortions
in the Rose Garden.
686
00:40:56,420 --> 00:40:58,913
Screw it, and screw anybody
who writes that story.
687
00:40:59,091 --> 00:41:01,844
Plus, I have a hunch the first round...
688
00:41:02,012 --> 00:41:04,421
...of subpoenas will
be handed down this week.
689
00:41:04,598 --> 00:41:05,929
You have a hunch?
690
00:41:06,102 --> 00:41:08,345
Of course the subpoenas
will be handed down.
691
00:41:08,522 --> 00:41:11,275
If we announce in two weeks,
that's when the first round...
692
00:41:11,443 --> 00:41:14,362
...will be handed down.
Screw it. It's game time. Let's go.
693
00:41:20,249 --> 00:41:22,741
This is a nice piece of land.
694
00:41:24,589 --> 00:41:29,752
It'd be better without the floodlights
and the metal detectors, but...
695
00:41:29,929 --> 00:41:31,306
Yeah.
696
00:41:35,229 --> 00:41:37,390
Abbey and the girls
getting in this morning?
697
00:41:37,567 --> 00:41:39,061
Yeah.
698
00:41:40,739 --> 00:41:42,067
How's everybody doing?
699
00:41:43,618 --> 00:41:45,243
Fine.
700
00:41:45,829 --> 00:41:47,871
What about C.J.?
701
00:41:52,507 --> 00:41:54,002
All right.
702
00:41:56,554 --> 00:41:58,180
Laryngitis?
703
00:41:59,141 --> 00:42:01,099
I don't know.
704
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:03,063
We could just say I have MS.
705
00:42:07,571 --> 00:42:09,150
Yeah.
706
00:42:11,869 --> 00:42:14,742
- Leo.
- Yes, sir.
707
00:42:15,709 --> 00:42:17,952
I'm running for re-election.
708
00:42:18,130 --> 00:42:20,254
And I'm gonna win.
