1
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,233
Backup generators
should have come on already.
2
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,356
Maybe it just needs a minute.
3
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,272
It doesn't just need a minute.
It's an emergency generator
4
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,079
that's supposed to make a seamless handoff,
5
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,152
so if this happens during a show... Herb?
6
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Power's out in the whole building.
7
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,031
It's been explained to me 19 different ways
8
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,157
how we can never lose power in the studio.
9
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,640
What about all the redundancies?
10
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,393
There was a round of budget cuts
before you got here,
11
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,920
and they cut some of the redundancies...
12
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,956
Don't say it.
13
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,793
...because they thought they were redundant.
14
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,714
Okay.
15
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,951
- That's a good sign, right?
- Those are battery powered.
16
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,600
- When should I start to worry?
- I'd have started already.
17
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,558
Electricians are on their way.
18
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:19,552
We lost power in the studio.
19
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,473
What makes you say that?
20
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,714
Everybody, listen up. It's the whole building.
21
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,992
We've sent for maintenance
to check on our generator.
22
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,116
They should be here in a minute.
23
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,395
They've got to walk up 25 floors.
24
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,350
Okay, they should be here
in a couple of hours.
25
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,109
Neal, I want you to be in charge
26
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,635
of rationing battery life
for laptops and cell phones.
27
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,836
- I have a question.
- Yes?
28
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,070
What if the power doesn't go back on?
29
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,833
I don't think that's a realistic possibility.
30
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,149
I don't mean ever.
31
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,993
I mean what if the power
doesn't go on by show time?
32
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,992
Do we have a contingency?
33
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,234
No.
34
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,115
Mac?
35
00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,830
A miracle.
36
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,277
A miracle happens.
37
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,714
We become a team again.
38
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,560
We all hate this, right?
39
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,109
We're gonna hate it more
after 10 minutes of no air conditioning.
40
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,511
No, not the power outage.
We hate what we're doing.
41
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,276
We hate that we're covering
Casey Anthony and Anthony Weiner.
42
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,872
We hate that we have to
do it to save the ratings,
43
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,077
we hate that we have
to bump important stories,
44
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,119
and we're starting to be
not very pleasant people to be around.
45
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,396
Guys, this is real.
46
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:36,995
I'm not making this up.
47
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,757
Just a minute ago,
when I was prepping for a pre-tape
48
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,797
with that idiot
who's still sitting in the studio...
49
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,599
- Are you talking about me?
- No!
50
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,399
Yes. When I was prepping
for her pre-tape, I said,
51
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,870
"God, please show me a sign
52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,077
"that I'm not doing a big thing badly."
53
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,592
And right that second, all the power went out.
54
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,314
And so obviously I thought,
"There's my answer."
55
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,676
Raise your hand
if Mac's freaking you the hell out right now.
56
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,075
No, listen to me!
57
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,117
Just tell us how we do the show
if the power doesn't...
58
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,796
By being a team again.
And that was God's plan.
59
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,837
Keep God out of this
and talk more about electricity.
60
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,515
We do the show outside, right in the plaza.
61
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,717
- How?
- Yeah, we can do this.
62
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,235
What do we need? A desk, a camera,
63
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,670
some microphones,
and a way to beam a signal into space.
64
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,160
The grips take apart the anchor desk.
65
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,079
And carry it down 25 flights?
66
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,514
You bet your ass they do.
67
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,592
We can use
a single tripod-mounted handheld.
68
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:26,830
We park a sat truck out there.
69
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,910
That's right.
70
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,116
Run the video and graphics
through Washington.
71
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,270
Yes!
72
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,158
I'm in your sight line the whole time,
73
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,197
in your ear and standing next to camera.
74
00:04:34,280 --> 00:04:36,272
I'll have a laptop with
a constant iNEWS connection.
75
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,919
How do we get power to
editors to run the Avids?
76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,275
What did they do in Apollo 13?
77
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,317
They shut down all the power
in the command module
78
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,869
and siphoned it into the LEM.
I don't think that's gonna work here.
79
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,839
What would they have done
if there was a hardware store in space?
80
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,877
- Buy a generator.
- We're gonna buy two.
81
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,111
One goes in an Avid bay
and the other stays downstairs.
82
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,157
- What time does the sun set tonight?
- 8:37.
83
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,038
Why in the world would you know that?
84
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,110
One of those things.
85
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,590
We'll need HMIs with gels for the top half hour
86
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,875
and incandescents for the bottom half.
87
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,758
We need the NYPD for security
88
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:04,594
and we need to trust each other.
89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,871
Does anybody think we're not good enough
90
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,553
- to pull this off?
- No!
91
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,630
Should I still be sitting here?
92
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,870
I'm so sorry, Sandy.
93
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,032
I know you had your heart set
on entertaining us
94
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,157
with private details of
a man you were sexting with
95
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,720
and maybe a Playboy spread,
96
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,314
but we're not able to do pre-tape.
97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,199
So if you want to do the show,
you're gonna have to do it live.
98
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,760
I already committed to Fox,
99
00:05:23,840 --> 00:05:25,240
and no offense, but it's a bigger audience.
100
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,114
Shoot! Does anybody think we can't do this?
101
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,233
- No!
- This is a blessing in disguise.
102
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,754
I say the power going out
103
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:35,196
is the best thing that ever happened to us.
104
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,192
I say the power going out
105
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:39,875
is what is gonna save this...
106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,077
Son of a bitch!
107
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,833
You're a freaking riot, you know that?
108
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,031
I meant to tell you,
109
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,032
you should use the word "bombshell" more
110
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,396
in the Casey Anthony coverage tonight.
111
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,673
Sandy, you're back in business.
112
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,280
- Great.
- Let's go.
113
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,797
Bombshell after bombshell today
in the trial of Casey Anthony
114
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,350
for the murder of
her two-year-old daughter Caylee.
115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,557
Casey's brother, Lee Anthony, took the stand
116
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,951
to testify about the events
of the night of July 15, 2008,
117
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,599
when Caylee was reported missing.
118
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,640
- Watch and listen. It's riveting stuff.
- Roll five.
119
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,031
When you asked your sister,
120
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,794
"Why won't you allow us to see Caylee?"
121
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,196
What do you recall her saying?
122
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,638
I told Detective Edwards that she said...
123
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,750
I'm paraphrasing...
124
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,718
"Because maybe I'm a spiteful bitch."
125
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,436
Lee Anthony described
his odyssey that month
126
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,159
trying to find his missing niece.
127
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,390
Oddly, he was never questioned
128
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,989
about the defense's claim he molested Casey.
129
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,437
For the latest, we're joined live from Orlando
130
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,079
by ACN's Selena Machado.
131
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,674
Can you describe
how you're feeling right now?
132
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,911
- No.
- Selena, how did Casey
133
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,992
seem today during her brother's testimony?
134
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,992
Well, her demeanor was different with Lee
135
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,230
than it was with her mother.
136
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,437
The normally outspoken
Democratic New York congressman
137
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,477
is suddenly tongue-tied and evasive.
138
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,439
Here he is again today
with The Today Show's Luke Russert.
139
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,352
- Roll 16.
- That's not a picture of you?
140
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,273
You know, I can't say with certitude.
141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,194
My system was hacked.
Pictures can be manipulated.
142
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,477
Pictures can be dropped in and inserted.
143
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,517
Someone committed a prank on me.
144
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,434
Somehow got access to my Twitter account
145
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,240
and right away put up a picture
146
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,959
that made fun of the name Weiner.
147
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,509
Hey, we can be doing
mock debate prep during this.
148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,675
Hey, debate prep.
149
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,797
You don't have to watch this.
150
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,953
We don't know for sure
what happened here.
151
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,316
I spoke earlier today with Sandy Witless,
152
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,676
- a bartender...
- Whiddles, like carving wood.
153
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,594
Excuse me, Sandy Whiddles,
a bartender here in Manhattan
154
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,273
who had been tweeting
with Congressman Weiner
155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,794
for the past several months.
156
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,837
- Here's that interview.
- Roll 22.
157
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,355
Thank you for speaking to us, Sandy.
158
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,430
Thank you.
159
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,432
When did you become
a Twitter follower of the congressman?
160
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,512
Let me say first that
I was more than a follower.
161
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,956
We had a relationship,
which is obvious when you read the texts.
162
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,599
Okay, and how long
has this Twitter relationship...
163
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,996
- Does he usually smoke at his desk?
- For about five months.
164
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,639
I have copies of the texts right here.
165
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,995
I know you're eager to read the tweets.
166
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,116
We'll get to those in a moment.
167
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,190
Okay, because I...
168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,839
Did the congressman ever
talk to you or tweet to you
169
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,276
anything that he was working on
in one of his committees?
170
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,040
No. I have copies of the tweets right here.
171
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,519
Two minutes and 20 seconds in the C block
to educate the public on
172
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,512
the most irresponsible economic inaction
in my lifetime.
173
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,478
I know, it's all upside down
because of Casey Anthony.
174
00:08:36,560 --> 00:08:37,789
Once ratings are back up...
175
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,519
We're committing journalistic malpractice.
176
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,193
Fortunately, there's no such thing.
177
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,919
How great would it be if there was?
178
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,394
I can understand your frustration.
179
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,676
- What's your thing again?
- It's a website for trolls.
180
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,036
They get together and
talk about their conquests.
181
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,351
And I want to produce a story,
and Mac's given me the go-ahead
182
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,193
- to go to the next level.
- Go on the website.
183
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,873
Yeah, but I can't get in the conversation
184
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,519
till I can point to another website
and show how I've...
185
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,632
- Been an asshole?
- Yes.
186
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280
I have to go onto a message board
and disrupt the conversation
187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:02,714
to the extent that havoc ensues.
188
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,757
Then I can go on the troll website
and brag about it.
189
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,115
But you don't want to do
something or say something
190
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,600
- that would hurt someone you don't know.
- Right.
191
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,114
You want to say things that would hurt me.
192
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,356
Yes.
193
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:13,750
What website?
194
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,393
You've heard of EconomyBrain.com?
195
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,393
Yes, it's a financial news aggregate blog
and discussion forum
196
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,073
that attracts an intelligent level of debate.
197
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,914
And the commenters have
a very high opinion of your analyses.
198
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,599
So you'd like my permission to...
199
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:28,240
Jump in there and invent heinous
and incendiary lies about you,
200
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,437
end the intelligent debate,
and start a whole new one
201
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,477
about, say, whether or not you're a whore.
202
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,558
My dad and his friends are economists, too.
203
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,915
So with Father's Day just around the corner,
204
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,150
this'll save me
the trouble of shopping for him.
205
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,310
I know.
206
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,074
Just print out the whole whore debate
and put it in a nice frame for him.
207
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,072
It would be my first story,
208
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,277
and I really think it's a good one.
209
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:52,875
I think so, too.
210
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,753
Just let me know when it's over.
211
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,594
- You're the greatest.
- I really am.
212
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,476
This is Hang Chew's.
213
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,514
The staff adopted it as their hangout
214
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,320
'cause they get cheap food
and drinks until 9:00.
215
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,950
- Can you spell that?
- N-I-N-E O-C...
216
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,032
Okay.
217
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,079
Is it important that
you treat me like I'm an asshole?
218
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,511
I wouldn't say important so much as
219
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,796
- it just sort of feels right.
- I know you'd agree it would be better
220
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,394
- to keep our personal past out of this.
- Yeah.
221
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,915
That said, I'd like to point out
that you broke up with me, too.
222
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,714
- Listen, Brian...
- I broke up with you, we got back together,
223
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,314
and then you broke up with me.
Those are the facts.
224
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,153
I sure hope we're on the record for this.
225
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,277
And during the second act,
you were with Will behind my back.
226
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,632
Once again,
I was with you behind Will's back.
227
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,916
Yeah, and it makes me feel great
when you say that,
228
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,032
but I do think we should stick to the story.
229
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,999
The story is this. Will is a heavyweight,
230
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,072
and for a long time
he was pretending to be a lightweight.
231
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,640
Because lightweights get higher ratings.
232
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,916
Yes.
233
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:00,279
Will's a lonely guy, isn't he?
234
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,433
- Is he...
- He's lonely.
235
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,678
He doesn't care about ratings
because of the money.
236
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,319
He cares about ratings because the audience
237
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,432
makes him feel less lonely.
238
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,995
What are you planning
on writing about, Brian?
239
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,753
I don't know yet.
240
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,470
I have to talk to Sloan.
Excuse me one second.
241
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,114
He is a lonely guy.
242
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,233
I don't know if that started around the time
243
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,277
I told him I'd been sleeping with you,
244
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,400
but I'll bet it didn't help.
245
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360
Governor Pawlenty, the possibility exists
246
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,636
that New Hampshire
will become the 23rd state
247
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,632
to pass right-to-work legislation.
248
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,270
As president, would you support
a federal right-to-work law?
249
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,470
- You should have this.
- Give me a second.
250
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,440
Try, "For much of my life,
my father was a Teamster truck driver."
251
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,432
"My brothers and sisters were in unions.
252
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,910
- "I was in a union."
- "We grew up in a blue-collar town.
253
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,753
"We live in the United States of America."
254
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,116
Governor, we know where we live.
Would you support...
255
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,237
People shouldn't be forced to belong to
256
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,913
or be a member of any organization.
257
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,635
Yes, I strongly support
right-to-work legislation.
258
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,155
That's what an answer sounds like.
259
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,671
- Can I talk to you a sec?
- Yeah.
260
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,469
Just the fact that they're debating
261
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,438
- whether or not to raise the debt ceiling...
- I'm trying.
262
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,311
I need to find a Casey Anthony guest
no one else has,
263
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,279
and hopefully I won't be able to do it.
264
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,674
I'll be rooting against you.
265
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,876
Good.
266
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,672
- You doing all right over there?
- With him?
267
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,080
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
268
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,631
'Cause you give me the signal
and I can just get in there and...
269
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,999
- You know.
- What?
270
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,193
- I don't know.
- Okay.
271
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,553
- Debt ceiling.
- Yeah.
272
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,280
Just hang in there one more day.
273
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,238
It's not one more day. It's another month.
274
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:55,390
The mock debate's tomorrow.
275
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,200
And once that's over, we need
the numbers to protect you from Leona.
276
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:59,919
Not if Charlie's guy can do it for us.
277
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,520
And if he doesn't turn out to be credible?
278
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,115
Then... I don't know.
Let's take it one day at a time.
279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,351
And get a guest that's promotable.
280
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,352
What are the flowers?
281
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,236
Nothing.
282
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,834
- Who are they from?
- I don't know.
283
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,434
They didn't come with a card?
284
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,874
- They did.
- The card wasn't signed?
285
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,077
- It was.
- Was it another threat?
286
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,834
- No.
- What am I missing?
287
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,559
Do you really want this
on your plate right now?
288
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,599
The flowers aren't for me, they aren't from me,
289
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,637
they're just living in my office
for a little while.
290
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,757
Can you be satisfied with that?
291
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,473
- Are they for me?
- Let's go.
292
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,149
- Speaker Gingrich.
- Yes?
293
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800
As a candidate for the Republican nomination
for president,
294
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,520
you signed a fidelity pledge
promising to be faithful to your wife.
295
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,160
- Now hold it right there.
- Didn't you also make that same pledge
296
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,072
at your three marriage ceremonies?
297
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,834
I find it absolutely disgusting
that the liberal media...
298
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,912
- Fine.
- No, that would be his answer.
299
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,957
I know. Are these guys
gonna be ready for tomorrow?
300
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,032
- Absolutely.
- We blow the mock debate,
301
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,680
we've been doing Casey Anthony
and Anthony Weiner for nothing.
302
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:02,796
They understand.
303
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,111
The debate is the only reason
we're scared of the numbers.
304
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,435
- Right.
- The only reason.
305
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,040
Right.
306
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,520
We need a Casey Anthony guest
no one else has.
307
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,476
Let me start here.
308
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,991
By any chance does anyone
know anyone who knows anyone
309
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,839
who knows Casey Anthony?
310
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,716
Who?
311
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,797
My roommate Lisa
went to high school with her.
312
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,473
- Are you kidding me?
- No.
313
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,517
Why didn't you... Get her on the show.
314
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,354
She's already been approached by everyone,
including the agent.
315
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,671
- Dylan Kagin.
- She doesn't want to talk.
316
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,712
- Convince her.
- She really doesn't want to talk.
317
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,792
Be a producer. Do you want me to talk to her?
318
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,440
No, I can do it.
319
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,160
When you've got her booked,
let me know so they can start the promos.
320
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,999
Do whatever you have to do.
321
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:53,630
Okay.
322
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,874
I like it. I do. But does it say Tonys?
323
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,150
Well, it's the Tonys.
324
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,550
You're gonna be the youngest person there
by about 50 years.
325
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,869
You know what I mean, right?
326
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,314
I think it looks spectacular on you.
327
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,151
It's so hard.
I'm just not sure it's for the Tonys.
328
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,913
- What about Galliano?
329
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,072
We stopped carrying Galliano
330
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,119
after he, you know,
came out in support of the Holocaust.
331
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,920
I mean, I don't agree with him,
but that's no reason to condemn him for life.
332
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,514
If only the Germans had
had the same attitude.
333
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,000
I told you on the phone...
334
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,151
- I know, that's why we came in person.
- We?
335
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,471
- I'm just here in charge of morale.
- I'm with a customer.
336
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:28,550
Go ahead. We're not in a hurry.
337
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:29,835
We're actually in a huge hurry.
338
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,037
And I'm actually at my job,
where I work on commission.
339
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,231
And I'm with a customer,
so I'll be done when she's done.
340
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,118
- Is that her?
- You mean the only person in the store?
341
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,156
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
342
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,880
Miss, I'm just a random heterosexual guy
343
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,596
from off the street,
and I think that dress looks great on you.
344
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,955
Don't even look at anything else.
345
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,633
Buy that dress and wear it out of the store.
346
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,473
He's just a... Don't worry.
347
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,994
It would have meant more
if you'd said you were gay.
348
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,276
- Why is that?
- Lisa, I think I'm gonna try on the Di Santo.
349
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:53,953
Sure. Can I get you another glass of wine?
350
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,520
I'd love that. Thank you.
351
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,760
They're counting on me.
You'd be a big exclusive.
352
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:02,638
It's what's called a "get." It's promotable.
353
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,995
And we need things that are promotable
354
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,992
so we can get daytime viewers
to stay with us for the story.
355
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,916
Not for nothing, but you've never used
any of those words before.
356
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,959
Well, sure, I have. But not in that order.
357
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,953
Guys, it makes me sick.
It's an unspeakable horror that's happened.
358
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,396
It's not a television show,
and I'm not joining the cast.
359
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,915
And by the way, a week ago you guys
would have said the same exact thing.
360
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,953
- A week ago we weren't...
- This is bananas!
361
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Well, the bodice hugs your body perfectly.
362
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,114
Look how it shows off your legs. See that?
363
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,839
- I do.
- You just got two inches taller.
364
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:29,910
Okay, but the big question...
365
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,150
Does it say Tonys?
366
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,310
- Miss.
- Oh, God.
367
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,790
That dress screams Tonys.
368
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,234
You're gonna win in that dress.
369
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,879
Oh, God, no. I'm not a nominee.
370
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,838
That's how good the dress is.
371
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,118
You wear that dress, and they'll just start
throwing Tony Awards at your head.
372
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,149
You, I promise, will have skull contusions
if you wear that dress to the Tonys.
373
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,515
I'd be terrible at this job.
374
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,751
Yeah, I have a McQueen that you may love.
375
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,832
And you know what?
If you take it right now, it's on the house.
376
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,400
- I'm afraid it's not.
- Well, then it's on me.
377
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,517
- It's $11,000.
- For a dress?
378
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,000
Once again, I work on commission.
379
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,155
That's three times what I paid for my car.
380
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,960
- Let me know if you need any help in there.
- Thank you.
381
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,112
A week ago, we weren't screwed.
382
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,556
I knew her, that's it.
We cut third period together.
383
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,154
Will's gonna treat you very gently.
384
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,675
While he asks what?
Did she kill children during Spanish?
385
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,110
- You can provide insight...
- No, I can't.
386
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,190
No, I can't. I can't provide insight.
387
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,034
I have no earthly idea how she...
388
00:17:21,120 --> 00:17:22,554
How this could have happened.
389
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,553
I can't provide insight and
I can't stand the people who think they can.
390
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,711
Lisa, I need a little help with these buttons.
391
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,120
Sure.
392
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,597
You know what these pants cost me?
393
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,036
- $30.
- That's right.
394
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:38,840
And they look just as good
as the ones that cost $40.
395
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,480
You think they're kissing in there?
396
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,040
Do you think they're kissing in there?
397
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,075
If I was a woman,
I'd spend the whole day kissing other women.
398
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,795
I don't understand gay men
or straight women.
399
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,439
You know you're talking out loud, right?
400
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,751
Take a look.
I think it's whimsical and romantic,
401
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,752
but it's still chic.
402
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,718
- I love it.
- Look how it defines your waist.
403
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,598
- I love it!
- We have a winner.
404
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,751
- Can we accessorize?
- No, I'm sorry, miss.
405
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,752
We need to speak to Lisa for just one minute.
406
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,753
You can browse in the accessories section,
and we'll give her right back to you.
407
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,194
This isn't her fault, it's ours.
408
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,074
- Please patronize this store.
- What?
409
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,958
Take a look at the jade earrings,
and I'll be right with you.
410
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,872
- Okay.
- Am I not making myself clear?
411
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,031
Lisa, look at me.
412
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,992
You know that there is
no way we'd be asking you
413
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:25,680
to do something like this
if it wasn't important.
414
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,073
We got ambushed by the trial
at the worst possible time.
415
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,312
There's a new debate format we want to
show to reps from the RNC tomorrow.
416
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,110
And if we can't keep the ratings going up,
it's not gonna matter.
417
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,272
We've been working on this for months,
and it's important.
418
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:41,556
And it's a good thing for everybody.
419
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,672
We can debate
whether the ends justify the means...
420
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,752
Will and MacKenzie are counting on you?
421
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,880
I don't have anything to say.
422
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,270
You won't be asked anything
you don't know the answer to.
423
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,750
Okay, what do I do?
424
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,395
Come to the newsroom at 7:00 tonight.
425
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,472
Oh, thanks. I owe you one.
426
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,914
I owe you more than one.
427
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:11,714
Let's go.
428
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,995
I don't know if it was clear
429
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,120
from my e-mails and phone calls,
430
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,714
but I've been wooing you.
431
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,951
Still trying to get that second first date.
432
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,675
And yet, I can tell from
the way you're staring at me
433
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,911
right now that this isn't the best moment.
434
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:37,920
You see that? I was able to tell
without your saying anything.
435
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,278
Our minds are in sync.
436
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,670
But there's not an ounce of quit in me,
437
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,753
- so I'll woo you when...
- What the hell are you doing?
438
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,991
All right, then. 7:00, it's a date.
439
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,272
Not really. I'm not crazy.
440
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,796
Thank you.
441
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,679
- Yeah?
442
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,519
You wanted to see me?
443
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,876
It's 100 degrees outside.
You're wearing a jacket?
444
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,077
Because it's Ice Station Zebra in my office.
445
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,720
- If you have any fresh fish you need to store...
- Those are yours.
446
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,439
They were delivered for you this morning.
447
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,874
Jim signed for them and looked at the card,
448
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,713
which you can see isn't in an envelope.
449
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,475
Jim signed for them?
450
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,791
He said Maggie didn't see. She wasn't around.
451
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,072
Maggie and I have broken up a lot
in the last year and a half.
452
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,994
I've...
453
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,794
I've gotten that sense.
454
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,516
- When we break up...
- You go out with other women.
455
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,353
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
456
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,636
- I'm not judging you.
- Then we get back together.
457
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,395
Do you tell the other women
458
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,073
that you've gotten back together
with your girlfriend?
459
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,311
We're talking about people that
I've been on one or two dates with.
460
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,909
Does Maggie know that
you've been out with other women?
461
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,990
No.
462
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,073
Does Gina know that you're with Maggie?
463
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,150
Jenna.
464
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,115
Jenna. These are from... Her name is Jenna.
465
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,754
You remember when I didn't care at all
466
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,832
about the lives of the people
who worked here?
467
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,040
- Yeah.
- Those were the days.
468
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,600
- Time to go.
- Yeah.
469
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,513
I can't walk through the newsroom with these.
470
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,432
- I'll take care of it.
- Thanks.
471
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,671
- Hey, Don.
- Yeah?
472
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,078
I'm doing the right thing, right?
473
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,635
To do a little wrong to do a big right.
474
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,030
Get the debate.
475
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:32,555
- Was that Shakespeare?
- Almost.
476
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,359
- Okay.
- And I'm doing the right thing?
477
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,598
No. You're either lying to Maggie
or you're lying to Gina.
478
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,637
Jenna. And I just backed you up
with almost Shakespeare.
479
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,756
You couldn't throw me a bone?
480
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,352
I've got to go.
481
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,357
- That was a cliché.
- I know.
482
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,955
But if you stand in the rain without a jacket,
483
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,554
you're gonna get a cold.
484
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,359
And if you have a physically abusive father
485
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,159
who abandons you and your family,
486
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,835
you're gonna be 1,000 times
more sensitive to betrayal
487
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,072
than the average person
who's already extremely sensitive to betrayal.
488
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,560
I miss encyclopedias.
489
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,911
I always wanted to have
a full set of encyclopedias.
490
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,312
You know, you pull down "S" off the shelf,
491
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,551
flip to a page, you read about, I don't know,
492
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,439
Salic law and
why a woman can't inherit the French throne.
493
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,717
- You can google it.
- That's my point.
494
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:22,995
You have to know what you're looking for.
495
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,311
You can't browse for anything anymore.
496
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,552
Anyway, last night I was looking up
signal intelligence intercepts
497
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,233
and whether they leave a fiber-optic footprint.
498
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,352
Is it important that I know what that meant?
499
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,751
No. We've got a whistleblower who's
giving us a big story and we have to vet him.
500
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,719
But what happened was,
I was reading about fiber-optic footprints
501
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,598
and a couple of clicks later, I was on
502
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,115
a relationship advice website
called Help Me Rhonda.
503
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,513
A woman wrote to Rhonda
saying that her husband was cheating on her
504
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,513
and Rhonda suggested that
the woman had to examine
505
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,832
what her role was in the cheating.
It made me crazy.
506
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,310
Do you think it could possibly
have been the woman's fault?
507
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,629
Are we saying that now?
508
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,473
What I don't believe is that a couple clicks
509
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,280
took you from fiber-optic footprints
to Help Me Rhonda.
510
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,120
If you went to a relationship
advice website, just say so.
511
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,310
It was the middle of the night.
512
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,390
There was nothing else to read.
513
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,278
Except the entire rest of the Internet.
514
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,919
Do you and Rhonda honestly believe
that I share some of the blame
515
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,993
or even a small part of the blame
for MacKenzie cheating with Brian?
516
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,198
- Do you?
- No.
517
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,154
Fine.
518
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,993
'Cause that's about
the dumbest thing I've ever read.
519
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,914
And I'll tell you what else,
I don't even think Rhonda's her real name.
520
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,514
- Yeah, look...
- Maybe it is.
521
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,590
I don't know. But she's a moron.
522
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,353
You weren't part of the equation.
523
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,477
Ruined a perfectly good Beach Boys song.
524
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,037
Wait, what do you mean?
525
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,073
I can't really assess someone I haven't met.
526
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,276
Then why did you say it?
527
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:37,999
Because I can assess someone I haven't met.
528
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,912
My father left me volumes on the two of you.
529
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,480
I had to get an extra filing cabinet.
530
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,353
How was I not part of the equation?
531
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,794
MacKenzie got dumped by Brian.
She got rejected.
532
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,315
People react to that in different ways.
533
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,278
When Brian started calling her again,
534
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,591
she saw the chance to get un-rejected
and she took it.
535
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,670
You weren't even part of the equation.
536
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,511
But once she got un-rejected, she realized
537
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,637
that she wasn't in love with Brian
in the first place,
538
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,633
that she was in love with you,
and she confessed the whole thing.
539
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,633
- Not right away.
- Who cares about not right away?
540
00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:09,112
When she thought
you were going to propose to her...
541
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,795
Do you remember when I came in here
yesterday without an appointment
542
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,792
and interrupted your session
with another patient?
543
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,394
I do remember that. It was yesterday.
544
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,040
And you said that
the trick was to forgive MacKenzie.
545
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,916
- Yeah.
- I actually know that.
546
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,789
Intellectually, in my brain,
I know MacKenzie deserves to be forgiven.
547
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,473
I understood everything you said.
548
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,916
I understand she's taken every punishment
I've given her,
549
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,515
including having Brian hang around the office
and write his story.
550
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,990
I understand
she's completely devoted to the show.
551
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,436
I understand mistakes.
I understand time has passed.
552
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,240
I understand all of that.
So why can't I forgive her?
553
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,919
Because you weren't rejected.
554
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,233
You were betrayed.
555
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,076
How's it going, Sampat?
556
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,314
Well, the problem with people
who post on EconomyBrain
557
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,720
is they're not easily distracted.
558
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,917
Damn those economists
and their adult attention spans.
559
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,070
They're not making it easy for me.
560
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,516
But a popular discussion at the moment
561
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,035
is a recent article
projecting US credit rating fallout
562
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:08,679
as a result of the debt ceiling standoff.
563
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,831
Yes, I heard that on the news.
No, wait, I didn't.
564
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,400
I heard about Casey Anthony instead.
565
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,550
Well, that's where I jumped in.
566
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,677
I said if I can balance my checkbook,
567
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,797
why can't the government balance its budget?
568
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,034
Mary, Mother of God,
am I sick of that insane analogy.
569
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,191
Balancing your checkbook
is to balancing the budget
570
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,954
as driving to the supermarket
is to landing on the moon!
571
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,590
See?
572
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:30,713
- I got you a little upset.
- Yes.
573
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,349
So once they were hooked on
telling me how stupid I am,
574
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,035
- I steered things in your direction.
- How?
575
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:37,839
- You really want to know?
- No.
576
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,195
- Good.
- Tell me anyway.
577
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,556
I said the media and government
are in a conspiracy cahoots...
578
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,758
- "Conspiracy cahoots"?
- I have to sound authentically moronic.
579
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,474
How are the media
and the government in a conspiracy cahoots?
580
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,074
By shoving your breasts in our face.
581
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,071
- Many angry posters came to your defense.
- Good.
582
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,356
- So I created a second user account.
- Of course.
583
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,238
And asserted it wasn't your breasts
that were so compelling,
584
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,472
- it was your blatantly slutty body movements.
- What evidence do you use...
585
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,950
I posted a link on your Wikipedia page
detailing your rise
586
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,436
from small-town stripper to
big-time financial news reporter.
587
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,000
My Wikipedia page doesn't say that.
588
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,395
Check again.
589
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,200
You're going to see an emotional response
590
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,637
on my face and
a physical response directed at yours.
591
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,276
It worked.
592
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:19,876
After two hours, I had economic PhDs
posting in all caps.
593
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,032
And then the site administrator
froze the thread.
594
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,591
All right.
And this is enough to get you accepted
595
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,831
- into the fraternity of the pitiful?
- Almost.
596
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,594
There's a sort of pledge process
for the fraternity of the pitiful,
597
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,000
and this will get me to level one.
598
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,311
Once I do that, I can get to level two
599
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,390
and swim with the professional trolls.
600
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,560
You're gonna be a good reporter.
601
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,109
And I like that someone
is working on news stories.
602
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,318
Well, for what it's worth,
I could really get behind a government
603
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,915
that was in a cahoots conspiracy to
shove your breasts in our face.
604
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:51,238
Re-edit my Wikipedia page!
605
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:52,830
Soon.
606
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,993
He's on his way.
607
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,278
All right, what do you know so far?
608
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:07,794
You got Lisa for tonight.
609
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,280
They've already started promo-ing it.
610
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,234
What do you have on the NSA source?
611
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,435
He's not rock solid.
612
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,079
- Shit.
613
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,879
He didn't do well on
his latest psych assessment.
614
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:17,950
Oh, Christ.
615
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,838
They lowered his security clearance.
616
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,513
He also violated a restraining order.
617
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,679
- An ex-wife?
- Yeah.
618
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,076
And he was arrested for solicitation in 1979.
619
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,720
If you had this guy on a witness stand...
620
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,950
I wouldn't put him on a witness stand.
621
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,799
Wait a minute.
He didn't score well on his psych exam,
622
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,230
but they didn't fire him.
They just lowered his security clearance.
623
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,195
Yes, he's stalking his ex-wife and,
yes, he tried to pick up a hooker,
624
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,158
but that doesn't mean
he's lying about the NSA.
625
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,152
All we have are the transcripts
of his testimony
626
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,675
and his testimony doesn't
mean anything to me yet.
627
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,240
Keep working.
628
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,753
- Excuse me.
- Which one of us?
629
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,280
Both.
630
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:03,194
- I'm gonna speak in code.
- Why?
631
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,511
Because neither of you can suggest to a guest
632
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,080
what they should say on the air.
633
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,479
- Okay. I understand.
- You do?
634
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,233
We've got Lisa. We've promo'd her.
635
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,437
- She's done her job.
- She still has to show up.
636
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,479
But you don't care
what she says once she does.
637
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,835
I don't.
638
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,871
So, do me a favor. This is for me.
639
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,158
Get some statistics on the number
of missing children cases this year?
640
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,790
Yes, please. And leave them for me
in the hair and makeup room.
641
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,713
- You understood that?
- Yeah, I cracked your code.
642
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,950
- Hey.
- Hi.
643
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,032
Jim, tell her she needs
a little blush to accentuate
644
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,072
those gorgeous cheekbones.
She refuses to listen.
645
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,230
I'm not auditioning for
Dancing With the Stars.
646
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,470
My cheekbones are fine.
647
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,796
She's fine.
648
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,518
Could you give us the room a second?
649
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,238
We're in a Vulcan mind-meld again.
650
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,152
I can tell this is a bad time to ask...
651
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,074
Maggie's my best friend.
She's actually my only friend, I think.
652
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:11,992
And I'd chop off my ears before I'd hurt her.
653
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,958
You're basing this all on the premise that...
654
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,238
Don's a good guy who's not in love with her.
655
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,955
She knows it.
656
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:20,876
You're on deck, pal.
657
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,840
I've been on deck for a year.
I'm nobody's second choice.
658
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,280
Neither am I.
659
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,432
- Well, I... I wasn't implying...
- Hey.
660
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,791
- How are you doing?
- Fine.
661
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,077
Listen, why don't you take a look at this?
662
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,080
You can take that out there
with you if you want.
663
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,913
Keep it right on the desk.
664
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,992
Will and MacKenzie won't mind?
665
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,397
I'll see you after.
666
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,549
- I was gonna say...
- I want to learn this.
667
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,951
Please. Yeah.
668
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,640
Thank you.
669
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,315
You don't have to
say anything you don't mean.
670
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,634
Okay.
671
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,640
I'm joined now by Lisa Lambert,
672
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,877
a friend of Casey Anthony's from high school.
673
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,440
- Good evening, Lisa.
- Good evening.
674
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,637
- Did you know Casey well?
- I didn't.
675
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,679
And neither did any of the other people
showing up on TV claiming they did.
676
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,080
But you took classes with her?
677
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,276
Yes.
678
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,635
Did she ever lose her temper?
679
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,753
Yeah, and when she did, we all said,
680
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,071
"Oh, my God,
she's gonna kill her baby one day."
681
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,433
Fair enough. Let me ask you...
682
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,477
There were 80 million children
reported missing last year.
683
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,278
Actually, I think you mean 800,000.
684
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,350
Yes.
685
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,920
80 million would be way too many.
686
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,834
And I understand.
But this one involves a murder.
687
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,310
Olivia Garcia was one-year-old
688
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,392
when she mysteriously died
at her babysitter's house.
689
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,598
But Olivia Garcia had brown skin,
so we're not that interested.
690
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,911
Same with Triumph Skinner,
a seven-month-old
691
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,037
African-American who
was rushed to the hospital
692
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,349
with a crushed skull.
693
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,477
For some reason,
he's not keeping Nancy Grace up at night.
694
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,789
Where are you getting these facts?
695
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,395
Google.
696
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,359
Jariel Alexander died
697
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,075
after being knocked unconscious
by his mother's boyfriend
698
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,436
and scalded with boiling water
699
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,920
after soiling his pants at dinner.
700
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,438
But Jariel's mother isn't pretty,
so what do we care?
701
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,954
I think you're making a very good point.
702
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:30,838
Then I'd like to make one more.
703
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,077
What if Casey Anthony
had wanted an abortion?
704
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,038
- She didn't want an abortion!
- Don't.
705
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:40,110
She told you that?
706
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,350
No, I haven't spoken to her in years.
707
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,079
- I'm just asking.
- Is this you?
708
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,038
- No.
- Do the people who care so deeply
709
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,155
about the life of
a microscopic piece of biology
710
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,236
with no ability to experience
711
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,232
physical or emotional suffering
712
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,880
care at all about a two-year-old
who was born to a mother
713
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,438
who didn't want the child
and was unable to care for her?
714
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:00,314
Help her out of this.
715
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,153
Lisa, I just want to be clear for the viewers
716
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,232
that you're not saying
Casey's only two options
717
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,676
were abortion or murdering a toddler.
718
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,798
I'm saying that there's an un-discussed
719
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,599
and unappreciated cruelty
720
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,717
in forcing a child to be born to a mother
721
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,519
who doesn't want the child
722
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,513
and isn't capable of raising the child.
723
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,352
Okay, let's get back
to what Casey was like in high school.
724
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,194
Where's a power outage
when you really need one?
725
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:45,794
What's wrong?
726
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,153
- You all right?
- Yeah.
727
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,709
- How'd they know where you work?
- Her Facebook page.
728
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:10,911
- Shut the page down.
- I'll take care of it.
729
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,395
Hey.
730
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,752
- Is she all right?
- Where's Lonny?
731
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,752
You shouldn't be out alone.
732
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,797
- You all right?
- Yeah.
733
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,158
Are you mad I didn't tell you
I was gonna do that?
734
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:26,435
No.
735
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,190
I know you're pro-life.
736
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,112
I'm not pro-throwing
a brick through a window.
737
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,998
There are gonna be local news trucks here
any second.
738
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,992
- Get her out of here.
- You, too.
739
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,831
Is that your boss? The owner of the shop?
740
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,390
I'm gonna talk to her.
741
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,398
This should have been me and not you.
742
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,317
Come on. Let's go.
743
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:59,311
Teddy, is there something
different about these pants?
744
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,790
Different from what?
745
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,792
Every time I wear that suit, I mean every time,
746
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,951
I put both my legs into one side of the pants.
747
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,360
One side of the pants?
748
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,631
I stand up, I put one leg into one side,
749
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,632
and then I take my other leg
and I'm certainly aiming
750
00:34:10,720 --> 00:34:12,473
for the other side of the pants, but I get stuck.
751
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,199
And I'm asking if there's something,
752
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:15,959
not so much wrong,
but different about those pants.
753
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,076
You can't put your pants on,
754
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,237
and you think
there's something wrong with the pants?
755
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,152
All right, get out.
756
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:23,709
- Adam Roth is here.
- Yes.
757
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,632
- Adam!
- Rock star.
758
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,357
- How you doing, man?
- I'm good.
759
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,272
- How's Emily?
- The whole family's great.
760
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,319
David got into Stanford,
so thanks for the recommendation.
761
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,120
I wrote him a pretty bad recommendation.
I'm surprised they took him.
762
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,998
They must not care that much
about what you think.
763
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,510
- This is my partner at the RNC,
764
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,475
- Tate Brady.
- Nice to meet you.
765
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,670
- How do you do?
- Excellent.
766
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,400
Charlie Skinner, MacKenzie McHale,
this is Adam Roth.
767
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,989
Will talks about you
like you were bunkmates at summer camp.
768
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,233
Well, we were,
but the summer camp was the White House
769
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,397
and there was no bunk or sleep of any kind.
770
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,075
I was Bush 41's body man right out of college,
771
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,873
and Will was writing greeting cards
772
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:01,599
or something in the communications office.
773
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,478
I wrote serious policy speeches.
774
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,392
For the Muncie Chamber of Commerce.
775
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,551
- They were good speeches,
776
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:09,393
and the president adopted Will
777
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,392
as the fourth son he never had.
778
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,951
The president knew my name,
and that's thanks to Adam.
779
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,271
I'm sorry. This is his partner Greg Brady.
780
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:17,760
- Tate.
- I'm sorry, Tate.
781
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,470
Everybody sit down.
Anybody need coffee or anything?
782
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,119
- I'm okay.
- I'm good.
783
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,795
So we're glad to see
your numbers rebounded from last week.
784
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,270
We hadn't been covering Casey Anthony
785
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,874
and half our audience went to HLN.
786
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:31,952
But we started covering it,
and things stabilized.
787
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,238
Well, good, because we were
about ready to offer a debate to Nancy Grace.
788
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,796
So the rules of the debate are pretty simple.
789
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,759
There is some room for you to
make a few choices, but not much.
790
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,638
Everybody gets an opening statement.
791
00:35:44,720 --> 00:35:47,394
Everybody gets at least two questions
with 60 seconds to answer
792
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,234
and it's up to you
whether you want to offer someone a rebuttal.
793
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,236
We had something different in mind.
794
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,310
What'd you have in mind?
795
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,596
Adam, how many hours did you and I spend
796
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,239
talking about how flawed the debates were?
797
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,711
Especially the primary debates?
798
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,200
A lot of hours.
799
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,239
Well, now you and I are
in a position to do something about that.
800
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,595
Follow me.
801
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,471
The questions have to be tougher.
802
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,519
They have to be able
to square their campaign rhetoric with facts.
803
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,717
They have to be stopped
when they're not answering the question,
804
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,520
and they have to be called out
when their answers contradict the facts.
805
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,920
Guys, get in place.
806
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,753
Our job is to find the two candidates
807
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,672
who'll give the voters
the best competing arguments,
808
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,160
and I don't believe we're seeing that.
809
00:36:25,240 --> 00:36:26,879
We have to put the candidates
on a witness stand.
810
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,311
- Would you have them swear an oath?
- Just let 'em do it.
811
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,631
If baseball players testifying about steroids
812
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,837
in front of a House Subcommittee
are subject to perjury,
813
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,360
I don't know
why presidential candidates aren't.
814
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:39,275
But I'm not reaching for the stars,
I'm reaching just an inch higher.
815
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,112
Welcome to Princeton University
in Princeton, New Jersey,
816
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,479
for the fifth debate
in the 2012 Republican primary race,
817
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,753
cosponsored by Atlantis Cable News
and the Republican Party of New Jersey.
818
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,878
At which point we'll explain the rules,
which is there are no rules.
819
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,553
I question a candidate until I'm done.
820
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,353
They can each make an opening statement.
821
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,200
Beginning with you,
Congresswoman Bachmann.
822
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,080
Hi, my name is Michele Bachmann.
823
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,958
I'm a former federal tax litigation attorney,
824
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,676
the owner of a successful company,
and also a member...
825
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,958
Hang on. Is that supposed to be
a Michele Bachmann impersonation?
826
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,878
No, nobody's doing impressions.
827
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,195
This isn't an SNL sketch.
828
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,676
These people have spent two months
studying stump speeches,
829
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,992
interviews, on-the-record statements,
previous debate performances
830
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:21,878
in order to come as close
as possible to answering
831
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,952
our questions the way the candidates would.
832
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,920
After the opening statements,
we'd move to questioning.
833
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,799
Senator Santorum,
you said that your campaign
834
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,236
is about freedom, and that 20 years from now,
835
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,959
you don't want to be
telling your grandchildren
836
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,872
how America once was free.
837
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,236
Name three freedoms you had the day before
838
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,000
President Obama was sworn in
that you don't have now.
839
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,400
ObamaCare, to begin with.
840
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,880
ObamaCare is the most egregious...
841
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,758
Have you had to change doctors?
842
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,433
- May I finish?
- No, sir.
843
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,637
- Have you had to change doctors?
- No.
844
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,196
Has anyone in your family
had to change doctors?
845
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,114
Has there been any change at all
in health care for you or your family?
846
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,714
I'm talking about ObamaCare now.
847
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,269
My question was
name three freedoms that you had
848
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,239
the day before the president was sworn in
that you don't have now.
849
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,357
Mr. Speaker, you just said
that if you're elected,
850
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,114
the price of gas will be $2.50 a gallon.
851
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,999
How does the US President
control the price of oil?
852
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,480
Governor, you've said that as president
853
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,717
you will never apologize for America.
854
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,479
This question is in two parts.
855
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,358
Name an instance in which the president
856
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,119
has apologized for America,
857
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,271
and can you imagine no instance
858
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,040
in which a US president
should apologize for America?
859
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,396
Mr. McAvoy, I find it reprehensible
860
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,279
that the liberal media would try to
pit Republicans against one another.
861
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,317
And I, for one, won't stand by
while it happens.
862
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,278
This is the Republican primary, Mr. Speaker,
863
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:34,874
and you're running for the nomination.
864
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,390
It wasn't my idea to pit you against anyone.
It was yours.
865
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Congressman Paul,
I'd like to discuss the newsletters
866
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,511
you wrote and sold starting in the 1990s.
867
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,319
I've already said
everything I have to say.
868
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:46,357
I never wrote those letters
and I never even read them.
869
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:47,430
They had your name on them.
870
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,749
They had your signature on them.
871
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,355
You made money from them.
And in 1996, you defended them
872
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,954
to the Dallas Morning News.
873
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,160
- I don't like pretending...
- Stop. Everybody, stop.
874
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,433
There's no need to go along any further.
875
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:00,914
I see where you're going.
876
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,550
- Adam.
- Listen...
877
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,871
Is there someplace we can talk privately?
878
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:07,630
Take my office.
879
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,634
Adam.
880
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,240
I think they really liked it.
881
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,996
You did a good job, everybody.
Give me a minute.
882
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,878
- I told you, this guy...
- This guy what?
883
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,550
Wasn't on the team.
884
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,677
- He's on the team, okay?
- Hang on.
885
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,319
The team I'm on is the voters'
886
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,399
and smart, qualified people
disagreeing about issues.
887
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,073
Your plan was to
embarrass the candidates.
888
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,237
I want candidates
who can answer those questions.
889
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,676
And if they know they're going to be
held responsible for the nonsense
890
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,355
they're shouting on the stump,
they'll be forced to stop shouting nonsense.
891
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,397
- This guy has lost his mind.
- He hasn't.
892
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,915
Adam, this is exactly
what we always talked about.
893
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,276
This is what we dreamed of.
894
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,158
We said we need real campaign reform
895
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,880
and a way of letting Americans hear
the two best competing arguments.
896
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,316
Nobody could stand up
to that kind of questioning.
897
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,990
- You think that was brutal questioning?
- It really wasn't.
898
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,513
And you honestly believe the candidates
would submit themselves to this?
899
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,751
- They should welcome it.
- I don't believe what I'm hearing.
900
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,433
Any candidate who can handle a cross
901
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,910
is gonna find himself
at the top of the polls in the morning.
902
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,152
And we should welcome it
'cause it'll clear out the clown car
903
00:40:28,240 --> 00:40:30,835
and give us a serious discussion
among serious candidates.
904
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,274
The only person
who would welcome it is him.
905
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,352
This is about him. He wants to look tough
906
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:35,954
by making the candidates look like idiots.
907
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,636
No, he doesn't. I have known this man
for 25 years and I vouch...
908
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:41,473
I don't care what you vouch for.
909
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,279
I am not allowing the goddamn press
910
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,670
to make fools out of our candidates.
911
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,875
I'll remember that the next time you bitch
about how the press never vetted Obama.
912
00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:54,949
We're not agreeing to this format.
913
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,430
You are going to abide
by the rules that we give you,
914
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,240
and I don't want MacKenzie McHale
producing it for you.
915
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:04,789
What are you talking about?
916
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:06,997
I want the old Will McAvoy.
917
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,480
Not the thing she turned you into.
918
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,358
I know all about that lady.
919
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,432
- Get out.
- Will, come on. You need the debate.
920
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:32,840
Of course he can use MacKenzie.
921
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,515
These guys have been compromising
and compromising all week
922
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,434
so we could host a debate that
made some sense and did some good.
923
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,510
Well, I'm sorry to hear that,
924
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,710
because it was all for nothing.
925
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,519
- We need ACN.
- No, we don't.
926
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,920
They've got the independents.
927
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,480
He's not the only anchor at ACN.
928
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,671
- Don Keefer.
- Yeah?
929
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,753
How would you and Elliot Hirsch
like to have one of the debates?
930
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,633
Eat me.
931
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,200
- Mr. Skinner, I'm trying to be as...
- When Don says, "Eat me,"
932
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,636
that's usually the end of the conversation.
933
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:04,230
Sloan Sabbith.
934
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:06,759
- You want to be a star?
- Me?
935
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,433
- Yeah.
- Fuck you.
936
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,114
I hate these guys.
937
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,758
I don't know why you don't.
938
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,638
And I'll be in the car.
939
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,353
I'm really sorry.
940
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:38,792
I can't be out of work.
941
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,719
- Tuition at Stanford is...
- No, I know.
942
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,430
It was good seeing you.
943
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,880
You, too.
944
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,354
All those things we talked about...
945
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:51,760
Yeah.
946
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,998
Don't let 'em push you around.
947
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:00,390
You take it easy.
948
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:19,839
I'm sorry, everyone.
949
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,352
We lost the debate.
950
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,713
I'm sorry.
951
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,356
We've got about an hour to air.
Let's put it together.
952
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,711
He'll cave.
He'll agree to the debate on their terms.
953
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,036
- No, he won't.
- You romanticize Will.
954
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,193
That mock debate was about him.
955
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:59,118
He was the star. He attacked his...
956
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:00,799
He didn't attack anybody.
957
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,951
He asked questions that
the candidates should be able to answer
958
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,316
and that the voters should
be able to hear them answer.
959
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,596
He didn't cower and he wasn't Ed McMahon.
960
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,200
Thinking there was even a remote chance...
961
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,000
- Maybe it was naive.
- It wasn't naive, it was hubris.
962
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,116
It was gutsy, and you're just jealous.
963
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:16,238
Jealous of what? You know, fuck you, Mac.
964
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,873
I've spent this week letting you kick my ass
965
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,156
from here to the Chrysler Building
because you were selling out
966
00:44:21,240 --> 00:44:23,709
every 15 minutes to get your hands on
something you didn't get.
967
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,996
And you were embarrassed by it
in front of me.
968
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,480
He doesn't want you.
969
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,159
Please don't talk about my personal life.
970
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:30,594
I'm sort of a key player in it.
971
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,592
Is it all right if I talk about my personal life?
972
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,831
Yes, I broke up with you. I'm the first guy ever
973
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,718
to break up with a woman.
And then I came back.
974
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,917
Also unprecedented. Did he come back?
975
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:40,836
I don't know yet.
976
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,798
Seriously? After four years?
977
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,839
In Cast Away, Helen Hunt got
remarried in less time than...
978
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:49,839
I never would have gone
with the Casey Anthony story.
979
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:51,832
I don't care how much
of my audience I was losing.
980
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,354
And he's gonna cave on the debate, too.
981
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,478
- Are you sure about that?
- I am absolutely sure about that.
982
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,199
You know what I like about Will?
983
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,354
He's not absolutely sure about anything.
984
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:03,715
He struggles with things.
985
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,951
He's never certain he's right,
and sometimes he's not.
986
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:07,872
But he tries hard to be.
987
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,077
He struggles with things.
988
00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:12,674
God!
989
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,956
Will, are you all right?
990
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:16,873
Could somebody help Will put his pants on?
991
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,993
I don't think this is gonna work out.
992
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,392
- The story?
- Yeah.
993
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:26,516
That's Will's call.
994
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:29,914
Excuse me.
995
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,630
How's it going there?
996
00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:33,712
There's something off with these pants.
997
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,598
I think maybe considering
everything that's gone on here
998
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,911
this week, you should reconsider
having Brian write the piece.
999
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:38,990
Can you handle him being here?
1000
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,070
I can handle him being here.
1001
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:41,833
- But I think...
- I brought him in here to punish you.
1002
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,832
- I know.
- I think I may have also brought him in here
1003
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,833
- so you could see a side-by-side comparison.
- You're an idiot.
1004
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,151
- Hey, these are really hard pants.
- Not the pants.
1005
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,080
I have cooperated with
and been the engine behind
1006
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,153
an instant dismantling of everything
we've built and everything we stand for.
1007
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,592
I've ignored serious stories
so we can get down in the gutter
1008
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:01,320
with the Casey Anthony circus
and the Anthony Weiner distraction.
1009
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:03,676
And I've done it all
while Brian's been standing
1010
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:05,837
over my shoulder, because you put him there.
1011
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,913
And you pass on the debate
because that guy insulted me?
1012
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,275
Who are you?
1013
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,195
I don't know where your head is at,
at any given moment!
1014
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,079
I am this close to losing it! I think I have!
1015
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,913
I think it's happening right now!
1016
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:21,396
- Settle down.
- I will not settle down!
1017
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,234
I should, though.
I should settle down.
1018
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,274
Remember your first day here, the BP spill?
1019
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:28,316
Yeah.
1020
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,392
Remember when I said
throw out the rundown?
1021
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,359
- Yeah.
- Did you think that was cool?
1022
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,750
Yeah.
1023
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,193
Throw out the rundown.
1024
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,110
Wait, no.
1025
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,510
We still need the numbers.
We've got to protect you from Leona.
1026
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,320
Yeah, I can't live with a 15-year-old girl
being the toughest guy at my desk.
1027
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,595
- Are you talking about Lisa?
- Yeah.
1028
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,070
- She's 26.
- They all look 15 to me. Sloan.
1029
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,793
- Are you sure about this?
- Not at all.
1030
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,599
- Yeah?
- If I ask you the right questions,
1031
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,718
can you talk about the debt ceiling
for two segments tonight?
1032
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,235
- I don't even need the questions.
- Get ready.
1033
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,118
Can you handle Brian being here
a little while longer?
1034
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,590
I can handle anything.
1035
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,993
- Jellyfish.
- I don't like jellyfish.
1036
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,514
- Brian.
- Yeah?
1037
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,600
Just write the truth, okay?
Just write the truth.
1038
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,920
We're throwing out the rundown
and leading with the debt ceiling.
1039
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,593
- You get all that?
- Yeah.
1040
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:23,714
Is it working?
1041
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:25,712
No. They're laughing at me.
1042
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,678
They think I'm a small-time troll.
1043
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,911
- That's got to hurt.
- It does.
1044
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,476
It's too bad you're not the guy
who left the death threat for Will.
1045
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,954
That's a dangerous area.
1046
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:41,476
Yeah.
1047
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,154
Jim?
1048
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,195
Yeah?
1049
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:23,598
Whatever happened with you and Lisa?
1050
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,996
She doesn't want to go out with me.
1051
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,719
I gave it a try.
1052
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,393
A try?
1053
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:35,236
Yeah.
1054
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:41,079
"Gather ye rosebuds."
You know what that means?
1055
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,790
It's the first half of the first line
of a poem by Robert Herrick.
1056
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:46,280
What's the second half?
1057
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,555
"While ye may."
1058
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,360
"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
1059
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:02,680
I'm gonna.
1060
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,317
"Then be not coy, but use your time,
1061
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,359
"And while ye may go marry:
1062
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,318
"For having lost but once your prime,
1063
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,039
"You may forever tarry."
1064
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:18,076
I won't.
1065
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,719
Okay.
1066
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,552
- First we have to do the show.
- Yeah.
1067
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:37,234
You're 100% sure?
1068
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,710
It was a year ago.
It was over a year ago.
1069
00:49:40,240 --> 00:49:42,038
He was the new guy in the office,
1070
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,635
and Don and I were in a terrible place.
1071
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,519
So I had a stupid crush on him
for five minutes.
1072
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,398
He was nice to me
even though I was mean to him,
1073
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,597
so I thought maybe he liked me, too.
1074
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,952
But that's just over,
1075
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,032
and he's really trying hard with you.
1076
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,839
- So if you like him...
- Of course I like him.
1077
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:59,320
There's no way to
fix the air conditioning.
1078
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:00,959
Your choices are 90 degrees or 30 degrees.
1079
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,510
- Who's here at midnight?
1080
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,475
- Hello?
- Hey, it's Jim.
1081
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:12,080
- Come on up.
1082
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:16,672
We never got to the God question.
1083
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,673
Bachmann said that God told her to run,
and Maggie wanted Will to ask her
1084
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,195
what God's voice sounded like.
I think it would have sealed it for us.
1085
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,875
If every network said,
"We're not playing by your rules.
1086
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,595
"You're playing by ours,"
we'd raise the level of debate overnight.
1087
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:29,359
It wasn't as crazy as it sounded.
1088
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:30,669
It was exactly as crazy as it sounded.
1089
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,797
- Good luck.
1090
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:37,916
- Hi.
- Hi.
1091
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,719
- I wanted to talk to...
- Hey, man.
1092
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:41,955
Hey, Don.
1093
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,279
I did... I didn't know that you'd...
1094
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,192
Maggie talked me into it.
1095
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,320
I'm sorry?
1096
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,113
You don't have to pitch me.
1097
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:51,953
Maggie talked me into it.
1098
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,073
- Let's go for a walk.
- Listen...
1099
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,230
Let's go.
1100
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:15,594
Nice ending, don't you think?
1101
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:18,476
He had a whole speech he didn't get to use.
1102
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:22,470
Don?
1103
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:28,190
What is it?
1104
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,559
He said, "I wanted to talk to..."
1105
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:33,994
And then I cut him off.
1106
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:37,396
What are you...
1107
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,472
Lisa wasn't the one he came here to see.
1108
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:42,994
I don't...
1109
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:45,433
He signed for the flowers.
1110
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:48,190
What?
1111
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,639
I have to explain something.
1112
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,520
Congresswoman Bachmann,
to you.
1113
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,791
Elvis or Johnny Cash?
1114
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,519
Oh, that's really tough.
1115
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,115
That's really... Both. Both.
1116
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:12,190
Both?
1117
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:14,397
Yeah, I've got Christmas With Elvis
on my iPod.
1118
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:18,876
All right, now we know
what's on the congresswoman's iPod.
1119
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:24,395
This is Lonny.
1120
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,516
- Lonny, it's Neal.
- Yeah?
1121
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,273
I'm sorry to call you so late,
but I need to tell you
1122
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,556
about something that's
on my computer right now.
1123
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,109
I've been working on this story,
and without going into detail...
