1
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,479
If Ben Furusho
hadn't broken his ankle,
2
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,279
if Jim Harper hadn't gone
to New Hampshire to cover for him,
3
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,751
if Jerry Dantana hadn't been brought up
from D. C. to cover for Jim,
4
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,593
if Mike Tapley had been used on the panel
5
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,319
instead of Cyrus West, do you think that...
6
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,079
- Genoa.
- Say again?
7
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,231
The name of the black op was Genoa,
not Geneva.
8
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,556
It's a kind of a jib or foresail on a boat.
9
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,869
Did I say, "Geneva"?
10
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,191
No, but Matt typed it in his notes just now.
11
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,919
Mark. And he's right, I did.
12
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,834
- How did you know that?
- Well...
13
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,674
I don't like to talk about it, but I know things.
14
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,399
Ever since I was a boy.
15
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,631
People have called it a gift,
but it's really more of a burden.
16
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,280
- You want to stop screwing around?
- I can see his fingers on the keyboard.
17
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,192
He typed "Geneva." We work in television.
18
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,237
- There's no reason we can't have jokes.
- You work in television.
19
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,277
- I'm a litigator at Lowell Tiller.
- Genuflect when you say that.
20
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,589
And there are a lot of reasons
we can't have jokes.
21
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,359
Should I list them?
22
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,750
You went on the air with a story
that alleged the US used nerve gas...
23
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,956
It was a mistake.
24
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,952
- ...during an operation, which is a war crime...
- On the enemy.
25
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,190
We had two eyewitnesses
and a three-star general.
26
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,476
...and a doctored interview
and a producer who says that News Night
27
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,074
- conspired with the Pentagon...
- That's why we fired him.
28
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,150
- ...to cover up Operation Geneva.
- Genoa.
29
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,879
Fuck me!
30
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,440
Well?
31
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,433
Would one of you fuck Miss Halliday, please?
32
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,555
- That was a little funny.
- Finally.
33
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,633
Did you take calls from the DOD
asking you not to run the story?
34
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,154
That happens all the time.
35
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,436
The entire population
of the Pensacola Minimum Security Prison
36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,591
is people who did things
that happen all the time.
37
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,797
- We ran the story.
- Then you retracted it?
38
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,190
- Of course we retracted it.
- At the urging of the DOD?
39
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,237
- Absolutely not.
40
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,357
- Excuse me.
- Come on in.
41
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,716
Maggie Jordan,
this is Rebecca Halliday, our lawyer.
42
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,235
These are her associates Bob, Tom and Curt.
43
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,310
- Ross Kessler.
- Mark Gage.
44
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,993
- Ken Weinraub.
- What do you got?
45
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,640
Looks like Romney's
gonna add an event in Charlotte at 8:00.
46
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,915
He's gonna go on around 8:15.
47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,480
We'll cut in if he's saying something,
48
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,517
- otherwise we'll stay with Sandy.
- Got it.
49
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,237
Maggie Jordan is Margaret Jordan?
50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,754
- Yeah.
- What happened to her hair?
51
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,674
- I don't know. Women try things.
- What the hell happened to her hair?
52
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,390
Look, she went out on a story.
She went to Uganda.
53
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,120
It got real very fast
and she came back a little messed up.
54
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,511
Well, if this goes to the next level,
she better get un-messed up in a hurry
55
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,034
because she's a character witness
56
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,759
and she looks like
the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,752
Counsel, if what happened to her
happened to you,
58
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,354
you'd kill yourself for the rest of your life.
59
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,751
You would sit in the middle of a room
and cry forever.
60
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,719
A year ago, she looked like this.
61
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,474
Now she looks like that.
What happened to her in Africa?
62
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,040
- It doesn't matter.
- Can I decide that?
63
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,555
- I'm her lawyer.
- I'm her lawyer.
64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,279
And your lawyer. And MacKenzie's.
65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,397
And everybody's.
And if you don't let me do my job...
66
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,234
You're gonna do what? Jump up
really high in the air and swat my chin?
67
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:44,595
I have the confidence of a tall man.
68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Lose.
69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,557
I was going to say, "lose."
70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,634
And no one responsible for Genoa
will ever work again,
71
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,838
including, and especially, the anchor
and executive producer of the broadcast.
72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,830
- If Jim Harper hadn't gone to...
- No.
73
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:01,274
Let me finish the question.
74
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,919
We don't have that kind of time.
75
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,072
No, if Jim hadn't gone to New Hampshire,
if Dantana hadn't come up to cover for him,
76
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,152
if West hadn't been on the drone panel,
77
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,120
if 17 different things hadn't conspired
in just the right order,
78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,998
we wouldn't be sitting here.
79
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,277
Fourteen months ago, you went on the air
80
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,392
and called the Tea Party
"the American Taliban."
81
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,596
- I did.
- And?
82
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,955
The Taliban resented it.
83
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,918
Fourteen months ago, you went on the...
84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,117
We're starting at the beginning.
85
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,600
Fourteen months ago, you went on the air
86
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,275
and called the Tea Party
"the American Taliban."
87
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,350
Yeah.
88
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,635
What happened then?
89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,951
- A lot.
- For starters?
90
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,672
The president of AWM
got kicked out of the Capitol Building.
91
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,511
- Have they started yet?
- No, sir.
92
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,751
I was at the Jefferson.
I couldn't get a cab.
93
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:06,400
You can pick up your ID right there.
94
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,312
There's supposed to be a card for me.
95
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,392
I don't see the ID here.
96
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,790
Reese Lansing, AWM.
97
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,400
- I don't see your name, sir.
- Lansing. Reese Lansing.
98
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:20,999
I don't have a Lansing here.
99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,912
Maybe there's a typo. Can you look under...
100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Everyone's accounted for.
101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,160
This is a Judiciary...
Yeah, I see people I know there.
102
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,516
It's okay. I'm the president of AWM.
103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,472
I can't let you in without ID.
104
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,319
- Who do I speak to?
- About what?
105
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,518
- About getting in the door?
- Me.
106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,877
I honestly don't mean to be rude,
but you're the man with the clipboard,
107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,872
and I need to speak to
the chairman or ranking member
108
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,440
of the House Judiciary Committee.
109
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,632
And what's standing
in between you and doing that?
110
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:47,915
You.
111
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Okay.
112
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,195
It wasn't an oversight. It was deliberate.
113
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,715
- Those two words are antonyms.
- Are you telling me...
114
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,917
Who'd have thought that
calling Tea Party congressmen
115
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,719
"the American Taliban"
would have consequences?
116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,790
Are you saying...
117
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,200
There was absolutely
no way to see this coming.
118
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,114
The consequence was
that you were left off of a guest list.
119
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,715
For SOPA! Not the Met Gala.
120
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,951
It almost seems like
when we called them "the American Taliban,"
121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,793
- they minded.
- Stop.
122
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Are you telling me AWM
was left out of a meeting
123
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,877
with the US House of Representatives
because of the show last week?
124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,440
Oh, don't be silly.
125
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,957
Wait. Yes, that is exactly
what we're telling you.
126
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,515
Do you know how much we lose
every year to piracy?
127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,432
- No.
- No, me neither.
128
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,671
It could be 10 billion. Could be 100 billion.
129
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,433
- Let's just assume it's 10 billion.
- Okay.
130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,512
I want the 10 billion!
131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,273
We own intellectual property,
132
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,080
and I want the fucking pajama people
to stop stealing it.
133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,230
Let's try to get to the bottom of exactly
134
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,551
why they minded being called
"the American Taliban,"
135
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,319
'cause I don't get it.
136
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,756
- Is your suit mildewing?
- Yes, it is.
137
00:06:56,840 --> 00:06:59,196
AWM doesn't just create content.
138
00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:02,239
We own the physical lines
and ISPs that bring it to you.
139
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,754
SOPA would allow you to sue us
just for pointing you
140
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,593
toward a bootleg Chili Peppers track.
141
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,434
- Doesn't that screw you on both ends?
- Yeah.
142
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,751
That's sort of why we wanted
to help write the law.
143
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,672
But three members of the Judiciary Committee
144
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,638
ran and won with Tea Party support.
145
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,280
- And kicked AWM out of the country?
- Yep.
146
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,352
They misinterpreted
the Taliban comparison
147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,673
and heard it as some kind of, I don't know,
insult or whatever.
148
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,794
You know, when he said it two weeks ago, I...
149
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,280
I smiled.
150
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,831
I thought, "Let the chips fall where they may."
151
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,475
You know what I'm thinking now?
152
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,355
I don't.
153
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,798
Chips are falling.
154
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,350
People are mad at him, Charlie.
155
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,790
They're gonna be mad at you, too.
156
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,280
Fuck them.
157
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,279
I don't know.
158
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,711
The rebels just took Tripoli.
159
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,875
Wait, what?
160
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,920
When roughly nine hours ago,
rebel forces swarmed the Bab al-Azizia,
161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,834
Muammar Gaddafi's compound
and less a presidential palace
162
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,719
than a military fortress
and the symbol of his reign.
163
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,430
After a siege of several hours
and an extended gun and mortar battle,
164
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,153
Gaddafi's compound fell.
165
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,711
And while there's celebration in the streets,
no one at this hour knows the whereabouts
166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,111
of the now deposed strongman
who ruled Libya for 42 years.
167
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,471
We go live to ACN's Shannon Hammid,
168
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,598
who is standing outside the compound
just south of Tripoli's city center,
169
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:36,512
where it's a few minutes after 2:00 a.m.
170
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,831
- Shannon?
- Go six. Ready, SOT one.
171
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,072
- Will, this is a jubilant day in Libya.
172
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,038
- While there remain
173
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,793
a few isolated patches of fighting
174
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,879
in the Gaddafi loyalist suburbs,
175
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,393
the gunfire that you hear
is largely celebratory.
176
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,796
- SOT one.
- You can see some of the rebels
177
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,712
- on their way to the compound.
- 45 back.
178
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,029
We got to pull the Strauss-Kahn package.
179
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,634
- Why?
- We blew the fact check.
180
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,951
We say the French police
charged him with attempted rape.
181
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,032
The French police
are investigating him for attempted rape.
182
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,713
We push play on that package in 90 seconds.
183
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,154
- Is it on camera or VO?
- VO.
184
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,960
Show it to me. Sixteen.
Get Ryan on the phone.
185
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,554
Use a landline. Jake, let's go.
186
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,279
- Fifteen seconds live.
- Sixteen's up.
187
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,033
- Play it.
- Package goes in 60.
188
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,913
Did you know that in '91,
189
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,720
20 Kuwaitis died
after being hit by falling bullets
190
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,757
while celebrating the end of the Cold War?
191
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:24,876
I didn't.
192
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,195
The law of averages caught up to them.
193
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,475
Yeah.
194
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,913
118 people treated at a Los Angeles hospital
195
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,673
for injuries sustained from random falling...
196
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,200
- Shut up!
- Copy that.
197
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Right there.
198
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,150
In three, two...
199
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,197
Shannon, at this hour,
do the rebels know
200
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,840
anything about where
Colonel Gaddafi might be?
201
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,071
- That's their frustration, Will. He's vanished.
- Answer the phone.
202
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,470
But he's believed to still be in Tripoli?
203
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,199
Nobody knows for sure.
204
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:52,194
Ryan, hey, it's Jim.
205
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,073
I'm putting you on speaker
at New York control.
206
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,276
Play it.
207
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,079
- What's going on?
- Where are you?
208
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,157
- Benihana with my kids.
- Get to a quiet place. Hurry.
209
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,594
- Thirty seconds.
- Play it for me.
210
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,395
But there's more
trouble ahead for the French diplomat.
211
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,393
Strauss-Kahn still faces
a civil suit here in New York.
212
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,075
And in an unrelated case,
French police have charged him
213
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,676
with the attempted rape
of writer Tristane Banon in 2003.
214
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,796
Ryan?
215
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,599
- You there?
- I'm sorry. Yeah.
216
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,272
Say "are investigating charges
of attempted rape brought by..."
217
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,398
Are investigating charges
of attempted rape brought by...
218
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,632
- Two-tenths over.
- A little faster on my cue.
219
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Say it like a phrase. Stand by.
220
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,479
Shannon Hammid reporting live,
on this historic day from Tripoli.
221
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,870
Turning now to Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
222
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,475
Today, New York Supreme Court judge
Michael Obus
223
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:41,473
dismissed all charges
against the former IMF chief
224
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:45,315
after the prosecution cited problems
with the accuser's credibility.
225
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,676
- Roll 16.
- On my cue, Ryan.
226
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,792
A smiling and visibly
relieved Dominique Strauss-Kahn
227
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,832
walked out of the courtroom a free man today,
228
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,311
more than three months after the former head
of the International Monetary Fund
229
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,551
was arrested and charged with sexual assault.
230
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
But there's more trouble ahead
for the French diplomat.
231
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,797
Strauss-Kahn still faces
a civil suit here in New York.
232
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,111
- And in an unrelated case, French police...
- Go.
233
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,669
Are investigating charges
of attempted rape brought by...
234
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,355
...writer Tristane Banon in 2003.
235
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,033
In addition, despite the Manhattan District...
236
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,600
- Go back to your kids.
- 55 back.
237
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,200
This graphic isn't loading.
238
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,873
- What?
- G-9 isn't loading.
239
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,191
Yeah, I've got a switcher problem.
240
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,680
- Are you kidding?
- None of the...
241
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,433
Shit, I'm losing the board.
242
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,273
- Stay cool.
- We've got to reboot.
243
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,634
There go the monitors.
244
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,030
We've got green.
Is the mainframe down?
245
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:42,800
The whole board's down.
246
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,636
7:00 a.m.,
waking up in the morning
247
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,677
Gotta be fresh, gotta go down...
248
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,638
Listen up. We're gonna bypass the switcher.
249
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,757
Hard-patch the camera output
to the one by 10.
250
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,069
- 30 back.
- Is this affecting our air?
251
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,560
It will in 20 seconds. Heads up.
252
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,393
You're gonna come back
with only one camera.
253
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,755
We can't roll the graphics
without the switcher.
254
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,320
Can we route them to the desk monitor?
255
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,993
- They'll be hard cuts.
- Do it.
256
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,914
Partying, partying, yeah
Partying, partying, whoa...
257
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,753
Pull your shot back
so we can see the monitor.
258
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Mike, go wide and get the monitor.
259
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,357
Will, your graphics
aren't gonna be full screen.
260
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,159
They're gonna be on the monitor behind you.
261
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,390
I don't have a monitor behind me.
262
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,709
Turn to camera three.
263
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,991
- In three, two...
- Now you do.
264
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,797
Dominique Strauss-Kahn
had spent 50 days under house arrest
265
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,951
as well as four days in jail on Rikers Island.
266
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,430
Today, he is free to go home to France.
267
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:29,914
We'll be back after this.
268
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,753
That's optimistic.
269
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,480
- Good show.
- Thanks.
270
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:39,676
- Seamless.
- Thank you.
271
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,513
Like running on autopilot. I don't even think...
272
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,273
- We blew the fact check and there's a virus.
- Fix it.
273
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,760
- Yeah.
- So you ready for this?
274
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,719
Ben Furusho bet another embed
on the Romney bus
275
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,951
that he could jump from the second floor
of the Nashua Holiday Inn
276
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,070
and land in the pool.
277
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,231
- And?
- He broke his ankle in two places.
278
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,754
These guys are drunk every night.
279
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,513
They're 23, they're on a bus in Nashua.
280
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,239
- They're drunk in the mornings, too.
281
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,720
You need to send someone on the road
282
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,797
for a couple of weeks
until Ben can hobble again.
283
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,394
Send whoever you want to punish.
284
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,154
Partying, partying, whoa...
285
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,358
- Can I...
- No.
286
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,193
- You got a minute?
- Yeah.
287
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Yeah, I'm just gonna change.
288
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,352
Remind Sloan
we've got the draft in 10 minutes.
289
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,880
Hey, money skirt.
290
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,429
- The day will come...
291
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,319
...when we have an HR rep
who cares what goes on, on this floor.
292
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,835
And on that day, sir,
I will dance upon your grave.
293
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,991
Reciting stock quotes and wearing a skirt?
294
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,753
How much time do I have
to formulate a comeback?
295
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,832
That was it. The first thing
out of your mouth is the comeback.
296
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,957
You wasted yours
on a question about comebacks.
297
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,311
Fantasy football draft starts in 10 minutes.
298
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,675
I know. I'm the commissioner.
299
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,513
- Your parents must be proud.
- They are.
300
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,592
- I was elected unanimously.
- You were unopposed.
301
00:13:38,680 --> 00:13:40,831
Just like when you were
elected class treasurer.
302
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,434
- That was an important job.
- It wasn't.
303
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,795
Why does it have to be like this?
304
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,155
Because you're a nerd and I'm a nerd,
305
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,640
and you make nerds look bad.
306
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,194
No, I make nerds look good.
307
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,919
I've been meaning to tell you
you've been doing
308
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,038
a perfectly adequate job
filling in for Elliot this week.
309
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,351
There's a wire report
about a drone strike in the FATA
310
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,312
- that killed five suspected militants.
- Excellent.
311
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,080
- You heard me say "suspected," right?
- Talk to your EP.
312
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,673
- Mac.
- Just a minute.
313
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,319
Ben Furusho broke his ankle.
314
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,959
- Is he all right?
- No, he's an idiot.
315
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,191
But let me know who to put
on the Romney bus for a couple of weeks.
316
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,636
- I'll check out what people are working on.
- Sloan, you want me?
317
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:11,836
- M.J.
- Yeah?
318
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,070
- Is your cousin...
- Crazy?
319
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,276
- Yeah.
- She is.
320
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,080
- She's spamming me to death.
- Why'd you give her your email?
321
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,674
She asked for it,
and I thought it would please you.
322
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,274
Everything I do, I do to please you.
323
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,953
- She's crazy.
- Thanks for the heads up.
324
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,512
So what do you want to do tonight?
325
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,273
What would please you?
326
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,079
Romantic drink? Dancing?
327
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,072
- Romantic bowling?
- What does that look like?
328
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,674
It looks a lot like regular bowling.
329
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,797
- Walk through the park?
- A romantic mugging.
330
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,190
- I know how to defend myself.
- Do you know how to defend me?
331
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,351
- I shout "Run!" really loud.
332
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,278
- I'll see you at home.
- Perfect.
333
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,517
- Have a good show.
- Not a chance.
334
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,553
- Excuse me.
- He'll be out in a minute.
335
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,472
- I'll come back.
- Do I know you?
336
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,835
I'm Jenna Johnson.
337
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,189
- You look familiar.
- I just started as an intern.
338
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,670
Say, "Why is America
the greatest country in the world?"
339
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,791
- Why is America the greatest...
- You're the sorority girl!
340
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,792
- That's what I'm most famous for.
- You hired her?
341
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:10,916
I'm benevolent.
342
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,879
There are eight Broadway musicals
that have won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
343
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,191
In five minutes,
I need you to name them, the composer,
344
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,079
lyricist, librettist and source material, if any.
345
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,753
- I need your...
- Go.
346
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,594
You make the interns learn
musical theater history?
347
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,080
You're welcome, America.
348
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,715
Gaddafi's done.
349
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,837
Hmm. Things you thought you'd never see.
350
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,038
I want to talk to you about
the 9/11 anniversary coverage.
351
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,639
I like how it's coming along so far.
It has a good tone. It looks up.
352
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,394
I'm gonna pull you from the coverage.
353
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,159
Elliot and Sloan will co-anchor in primetime.
354
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,796
Because Reese got kicked out?
355
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:48,836
- No, it's not Reese.
- Leona?
356
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,435
It's me. I made the decision.
357
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,549
All right.
358
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,956
We're gonna be officially condemned
on the House floor tomorrow.
359
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,269
That's a good use of time.
360
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,272
- And Giuliani pulled out.
- Yeah?
361
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,311
9/11 widows, first responders...
362
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,636
Some 9/11 widows and first responders.
363
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,951
No, I know. It's the critical mass.
364
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,758
The op-eds, the boycotts, the advertisers,
365
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,957
Reese getting kicked out
of the SOPA meeting,
366
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,315
which you know we're gonna read about.
367
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,119
I just think on this one day...
368
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,634
- No, I totally get it.
- Okay.
369
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,038
- Let me talk to Reese.
- It's not Reese.
370
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,112
- Leona.
- They haven't said a word about 9/11.
371
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,078
They've got bigger fish.
372
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,596
For the record,
I compared the Tea Party to the Taliban,
373
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,478
and we were attacked by al-Qaeda.
374
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,997
I don't want to ask people to make
that distinction on the 10th anniversary.
375
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,959
No, we've never gone wrong
getting our enemies mixed up.
376
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,600
It's just not the day to have the argument.
377
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,560
How do you want to handle it?
378
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:46,757
You'll get the flu around the 9th or 10th.
379
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,834
Okay.
380
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,119
Listen, they'll do it at your desk
under the News Night logo,
381
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,516
but I'm gonna take your name
off of it for the night.
382
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,354
Contractually, I need your permission.
383
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,674
I'm sorry.
384
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,036
No, man. It's the price of doing business.
385
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:06,396
For what it's worth,
I didn't know you were gonna say it,
386
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,597
- but I was happy when you did.
- Mmm.
387
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,475
Me, too.
388
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,280
All right.
389
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:17,352
Don't worry about it, Charlie.
I'll see you upstairs for the draft.
390
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,920
All right.
391
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,479
Of Thee I Sing, 1932.
392
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,394
Music by George Gershwin,
lyrics by Ira Gershwin,
393
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,836
book by George S. Kaufman
and Morrie Ryskind.
394
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,116
- Fiorello! 19...
- All right.
395
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,080
I need your suit.
396
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,709
Yeah.
397
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,112
- How's it going?
- Me?
398
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,793
- Yeah.
- Good.
399
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,997
I'm just... You know.
400
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,473
Is this brutally awkward?
401
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:20,629
No.
402
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,793
'Cause I was thinking
if we could just say so and name it,
403
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,759
then we could go back to the way things were.
404
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,994
Yeah.
405
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:30,556
So...
406
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,917
I don't want to go back
to the way things were.
407
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,272
I meant being friends
and it not being awkward.
408
00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:40,431
It was always awkward.
That's the way things were.
409
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,356
You want to say it wasn't a big deal?
Okay, we're friends.
410
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,117
But you're also staff and at some point,
this conversation is inappropriate.
411
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,633
I don't understand what you're saying.
412
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,280
It's only awkward because you want it to be.
413
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,000
That's a big accusation.
414
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,871
All right. We'll try again tomorrow.
415
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,031
You blew the fact check on DSK.
416
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,679
- I know.
- Okay.
417
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,676
Yeah?
418
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,353
- I'll go.
- Where?
419
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,353
- New Hampshire. I'll cover for Ben.
- Why?
420
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,399
I've never been on the road with a campaign.
421
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,880
I didn't know you wanted to.
422
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,519
Wait 10 months till he's the nominee.
423
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,831
- I'd like to go now.
- Nothing to cover.
424
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,513
- Of course there is.
- There isn't.
425
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,956
It's the same three rallies
and three diners a day.
426
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,759
Ben puts down a stand-up at each of them.
427
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,672
When was the last time
you saw any of them on the air?
428
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,353
- I don't know.
- Send Martin.
429
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,590
I'd really like to go.
430
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,399
You're the senior producer here.
431
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,073
- That's great.
- No, I'm saying
432
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:53,514
you're gonna be fighting it out with stringers
433
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,876
- to get access to low-level staff.
- I know what they do.
434
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,996
Romney's not McCain,
435
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,470
if you've got some vision
of kicking it in the RVwith the candidates.
436
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,789
- I don't.
- You're gonna be bored...
437
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,554
Mac, fire me or send me to New Hampshire!
438
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,070
Sorry.
439
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:20,470
What's wrong with you?
440
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,951
I just want to get out of town
for a couple of weeks.
441
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,470
Mmm-hmm.
442
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,153
You know when you blew it with Will,
you went to Peshawar.
443
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:37,478
There aren't any Taliban fighters in Concord.
444
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,632
It'll just be two weeks.
445
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,075
You should bring Jerry Dantana up from D.C.
to cover for me.
446
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,756
Five suspected militants were killed
by a US drone strike in the FATA.
447
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,957
The unmanned Predator drone
fired two missiles
448
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,999
at a vehicle driving on a main road
in North Waziristan.
449
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,675
Is it illegal? Yes. Is it immoral? You bet.
450
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,911
Are we going to investigate it? Of course not.
451
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,390
Jerry, you're gonna
drive me crazy with the drone shit.
452
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,597
- I'm gonna have one target your car.
453
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,875
That's my other line.
454
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,998
But sorry for annoying you with the news.
455
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:12,271
- Jerry Dantana.
- Jerry.
456
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:14,511
It's MacKenzie in New York.
457
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:16,516
Oh, hey.
458
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,198
Cats and kittens, grab your mittens.
459
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,873
It's Will McAvoy and Van Morrison
460
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,475
taking you through the night
and Into the Mystic.
461
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,234
- Why didn't you tell me?
- Let's take some calls.
462
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,960
Who do we have on the line, Freddy?
It's MacKenzie from Midtown.
463
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,713
You're talking to the Nightbird.
464
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,554
Why didn't you tell me
you were taken off the 9/11 anniversary?
465
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,633
What are you doing up this late,
MacKenzie from Midtown?
466
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,632
Charlie just called me
to ask how you were handling it,
467
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,200
and I said, "Handling what?"
468
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,351
It was the right thing to do, caller.
469
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,669
Bullshit.
470
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,911
Freddy, you better grab
that seven-second delay.
471
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,913
- Knock it off.
- Let's not make it a big deal.
472
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,071
- You're okay with this?
- I am.
473
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,720
- Can I go back to sleep?
- You're in bed?
474
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,917
It's the middle of the night.
475
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,436
Why is there music playing?
476
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,638
Same reason your night-light's on right now.
477
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,436
All right.
478
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,756
All right.
479
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:54,952
Hey, how you doing?
480
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,558
- Hey, excuse me.
- Yes, sir?
481
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,994
- Are you the lead advance?
- Yes, sir.
482
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,150
I'm Jim Harper.
483
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,311
I'm gonna fill in for Ben Furusho
for a couple of weeks.
484
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,871
- How's Ben doing?
- His ankle's broken, but he'll be okay.
485
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,713
I just drove up from New York.
486
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,439
Do I have time to check in
and drop off my stuff?
487
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,637
- Sure, we'll wait as long as you want.
- Thanks.
488
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,075
That was sarcastic?
489
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,755
No, I'll just tell the governor
not to start speaking until you get there.
490
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,473
- Got it.
- So you're with ACN?
491
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,552
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry, but the bus is full today.
492
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,996
- You'll have to drive.
- There's...
493
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,954
There's, like, 40 empty seats.
494
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,154
I wasn't wild about
the "American Taliban" broadcast.
495
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,677
Dude, you can't keep me off the bus
just 'cause you didn't like our reporting.
496
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,558
- I can.
- Come on.
497
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,552
Man, I've been driving all night.
498
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,233
Then you better get some gas.
499
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:48,114
What's Obama got it at, 4.50 a gallon now?
500
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,720
Morning!
501
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,273
You could have checked into the hotel first.
502
00:24:11,360 --> 00:24:14,239
I can do that tonight.
You heard about the latest drone strike?
503
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,993
We reported it at 10:00.
504
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,992
Yeah, but that's all we did.
505
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,357
You and Sloan Sabbith
are gonna get along very well.
506
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,800
You're gonna meet Will now, okay?
507
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,872
- We've met.
- He's not gonna remember.
508
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,794
- Will, this is Jerry Dantana.
- We've met.
509
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,633
Of course we have. How you been, man?
510
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,951
We had a long talk the last time he was in D.C.
511
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,953
Great. Jerry's gonna cover for Jim
for a couple of weeks.
512
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,350
- I have no idea why you let him go.
- 'Cause I did.
513
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,954
I'm sure Terry's a good guy
and an excellent senior...
514
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,116
Jerry.
515
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,634
...but I fear change
and that should be respected.
516
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,710
You'll get used to me.
517
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,678
And then Jim will come back
and it'll be a hellscape.
518
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,877
- Why don't we send Harry to New Hampshire?
- Who's Harry?
519
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,155
- He is.
- Jerry.
520
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,232
- See what I mean?
- No, no one does.
521
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,152
- Can I mention something?
- Sure.
522
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,072
I think this network should be doing stories
523
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,550
about the administration's
counterterrorism policies.
524
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,909
And I think while I'm in New York,
525
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,673
it would be a good time
for me to get it started.
526
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,513
It's actually not a great time for me.
527
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,877
But that go-getter initiative you have,
I'm not crazy about that, either.
528
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,713
Remember that long talk we had in D.C.?
529
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:08,830
Mmm-hmm.
530
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Do you want to lead or do you want to follow?
531
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,677
- He wants to follow.
- And barely that.
532
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,750
- Come in.
533
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,069
It's my office.
534
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,796
Drone strike.
535
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,950
- I don't believe this.
- Drone strike.
536
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,350
- This is Jerry Dantana, who'll be covering...
- There was another one?
537
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:21,635
- This morning.
- What you got there, hmm?
538
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,518
Drone strike. Drone strike.
539
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,875
Can't understand what you're saying.
540
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,559
You can too understand what I'm... Reuters.
541
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:27,676
This is what I was talking...
542
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,195
United States Predator drone
strikes vehicle in northwest Pakistan.
543
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,714
- Can I see that?
- It's a blank piece of paper.
544
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,399
I left the wire report in my office
545
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,358
and on the way here,
I decided I wanted a prop.
546
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,193
You didn't think to just
have someone print it out?
547
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,158
A lot of better ideas are coming to me
as I'm standing here,
548
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,994
- but why don't we let the past be the past?
- It was 12 seconds ago.
549
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,912
"Two US officials
identified the target
550
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,311
"of the drone attack
as Abu Hafs al-Shahri, a Saudi national.
551
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,920
- "They declined to provide..."
- They declined to provide
552
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,116
more precise details.
553
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,318
Hold the roll. The government is declining
to reveal highly classified intelligence
554
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,120
and expose the methods
by which we find and kill terrorists?
555
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:57,230
That is just plain wacky.
556
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,630
- All this is, is a press release.
- It's a blank piece of paper.
557
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,757
No reporter gets to ask,
"Did we kill any civilians?"
558
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:03,433
Or, "How does Pakistan feel about us
559
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,432
"invading their airspace
to kill people occasionally?"
560
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,989
- Or, "Who authorized the strike?"
- Or, "Who's Abu Hafs al-Shahri?"
561
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,958
He's the head of al-Qaeda in Pakistan.
562
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,474
And the Commander-in-Chief
authorized the strike.
563
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,594
I'd like this for my five minutes tonight.
564
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,876
- It's not an economic story.
- Watch me make it one.
565
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,792
It should be a full panel
right after the A block,
566
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,553
where presumably we'll stay with Libya.
567
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,512
- An ethicist, a military analyst...
- And me.
568
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,472
I'd rather have a human rights expert.
No offense.
569
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,195
- We're not loading the panel to the left.
- Why are we having a panel at all?
570
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,953
- I'll take the economist.
- That happened fast.
571
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,599
You can get in touch with Mike Tapley.
572
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,592
I'd like to use a guy named Cyrus West.
573
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,399
Jim uses Tapley for military analysis.
574
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,631
Yeah, I know,
but I think you're gonna like Cyrus West.
575
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,270
He's a retired Air Force captain,
teaches public policy at the Maxwell School,
576
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,556
and he's a hard-liner on drones.
577
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,994
You're sure you don't want to use Tapley?
578
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,390
Got to start producing sometime.
579
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,278
All right. Start now.
580
00:26:48,360 --> 00:26:50,238
We've got a rundown meeting.
581
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,273
- Drone strike.
- Hey.
582
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:59,114
Keep your eye on Jerry for me.
I think he wants to win a Peabody.
583
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,316
Mmm.
584
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,716
Who's Jerry?
585
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,516
Okay.
586
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,480
Ben Furusho jumped from the second story
of a Holiday Inn in Nashua.
587
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,517
I've been in that room.
He didn't make it, right?
588
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,991
No, he's out for a couple of weeks.
Jim drove up last night to cover for him.
589
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,676
So say hello to Jerry Dantana,
who most of you already know.
590
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,797
- Hey, Jerry.
- Jim went on the Romney bus?
591
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,394
- He wanted to go.
- Why?
592
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,518
For the experience
and to be a team player.
593
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,115
Couldn't you make the argument
that he just left the team?
594
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,873
You could. Do you want to?
595
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,071
- Not this second, but...
- Seriously, what's going on?
596
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,880
Ben Furusho broke his ankle.
Jim's covering for him for a couple of weeks,
597
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,679
and Jerry's up from D.C. to cover for Jim.
598
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,076
He's gonna produce a panel tonight
in the B or C block.
599
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,799
- B would be great.
- What everyone's asking is
600
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,473
why would a senior producer
601
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,153
- four months before Iowa...
- No. No.
602
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,038
The clock's run out on this conversation.
603
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:48,839
If I'm gonna sit in on any rundown meetings,
604
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,513
they can't get mired in these kind of detours.
605
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,592
It's like playing golf
behind a foursome of blind people.
606
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,990
Also, Don will be in our rundown meetings.
607
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,072
Charlie wants us doing
more cross-network stories.
608
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,152
So think of 10:00 as our second act.
609
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:00,350
Or 8:00 as our warm-up.
610
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,794
How should we think about 9:00?
611
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,951
It's Washington. It doesn't matter.
612
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,271
That's not something we think.
613
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:07,476
They're on speaker.
614
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,435
Huh?
615
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:13,589
- You guys there?
- Yeah.
616
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,319
The search for Gaddafi continues.
617
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,916
Journalists and dignitaries
are being freed from the Rixos Hotel,
618
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,390
and Mustafa Abdul Jalil
is offering what amounts
619
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,712
to a million and a half dollars and amnesty
to anyone who finds Gaddafi.
620
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,196
- Did he call anyone?
- Did Gaddafi call anyone?
621
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,397
- Jim.
- He hasn't run away from home.
622
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,159
- He called me last night.
- Tamara.
623
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,709
The earthquake was a 5.8 and AP is reporting
624
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,553
it caused a crack in
the Washington Monument,
625
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,677
- which will now be closed indefinitely.
- What else?
626
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,958
PPP has Rick Perry at 22 and Romney at 19.
627
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,555
- Tess?
- Steve Jobs is going to officially resign today.
628
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,233
Let's close with that. Martin?
629
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,471
BP's paid five billion in claims
to compensate victims,
630
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,200
and the deficit reduction committee is
launching a website for public input.
631
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,476
Public input on deficit reduction.
I feel better already.
632
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,392
- Anything else?
- Yeah.
633
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,677
And are you very sure you want to pitch this?
634
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,597
- Yes.
- Bring it.
635
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,078
About 11 weeks ago, June 9th,
636
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,629
the domain name "occupywallstreet"
was registered.
637
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,070
And?
638
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,152
I believe America is on the verge
of starting its own Arab Spring.
639
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,276
Really?
640
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,229
Yeah.
641
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,554
Gaddafi, drones.
642
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,236
Let's keep working the others
and I'll make my first cuts at the two.
643
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,480
It was registered by Adbusters
and they sent out an email saying,
644
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,836
- "America needs its own Tahrir."
- We call them elections.
645
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,515
Hang on.
On July 13th, Adbusters sends an email
646
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,593
to 90,000 people telling them
to gather on September 17th.
647
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,115
That's roughly three weeks from now
at the Charging Bull on Wall Street.
648
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,431
The email goes viral in 15 minutes.
649
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,273
New websites were formed,
and there's been instant
650
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,750
and substantial support
across Twitter and Reddit.
651
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,230
August 2nd,
they staged their first organizing meeting
652
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,118
and have been holding
weekly planning meetings,
653
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,270
which they call "general assemblies."
654
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,317
They always start by making a new language.
655
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,834
Fifty to 100 people have been showing up.
656
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,752
Fifty people out of an email blast to 90,000?
657
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,039
Fifty to 100.
658
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,635
And is there a list
of incoherent and unrealistic demands?
659
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,632
Just one thing, and it's perfectly coherent.
660
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,235
A presidential commission
to get money out of politics.
661
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:07,596
Come with me.
662
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,757
Here's a fax I get every day.
663
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,309
It's the protests
that are going on in New York,
664
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,754
just New York.
665
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,639
Today, Jews Say No
666
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,360
are protesting the air attacks
on the Gaza Strip.
667
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,557
Topless protestors
are demanding that lawmakers
668
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,393
repeal codes against toplessness.
669
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,393
On the East River,
residents are protesting the building
670
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,312
of a high-rise near a soccer field,
671
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,517
and union members are protesting
672
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,155
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters'
new leadership.
673
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,833
And at any given moment,
674
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,072
a group is protesting ads
in the subway, standardized tests,
675
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,992
horse-drawn carriages and fracking.
676
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,714
I know how much you want this,
and I like how much you're going for it,
677
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,759
but you've gotta wait until something's real.
678
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,280
All right.
679
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,674
- Neal.
- Yeah?
680
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:06,870
What was it called again?
681
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,519
Occupy Wall Street.
682
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,398
- When's the next general assembly?
- Tonight.
683
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,350
You should go.
684
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:14,270
Sure.
685
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,391
A minute ago, your issue was with legality.
Now it's with the morality.
686
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,040
I'm able to hold
as many as two thoughts in my head at once.
687
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:31,520
- The Fifth Amendment...
688
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,159
The Fifth Amendment,
like all the other amendments,
689
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,879
guarantees certain rights to US citizens.
690
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,713
If an American vacationing
691
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,190
in the Khyber Pass
gets targeted by a Predator...
692
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,159
We need to ask, "Are we creating
more terrorists than we're killing?"
693
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:43,230
We need to ask...
694
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,630
We don't know exactly
what that collateral damage is
695
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,280
because of the lack
of any transparency or accountability.
696
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,829
Now, factor in that the BDA,
the bomb damage assessment,
697
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,640
counts all military-aged males as militants.
698
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,632
But to your second point,
the fact that drones are...
699
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,074
Aren't they cheaper?
700
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,800
I prefer to be arguing the legality
and the morality, but, no, they're not.
701
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,078
An F-16 costs 50 million and a drone costs 30.
702
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,152
But we procure the drones in groups of four,
703
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,879
combat air patrols, or CAPs.
704
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,680
We buy them as a set, so it's 120 million
705
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,592
versus 50 million for the Falcon.
706
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,830
What we should be talking about...
707
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,037
...costs in terms of human lives.
708
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,231
- That's about all I can stand.
- Here we go.
709
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,154
"I've had all I can stands
and I can't stands no more."
710
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,357
- Did you want to jump in, Captain?
- I do.
711
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,478
Because my concern
is with the cost of American lives,
712
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,279
here and in combat.
713
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,558
Sloan, you didn't mention
that a $50 million F-16
714
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,678
has to be flown by a pilot
who is somebody's father
715
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,714
and that he can be shot down by
a shoulder-mounted, point-and-shoot Stinger.
716
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,554
Now, Dr. Cochran,
I can appreciate that you're an ethicist,
717
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,279
but we don't face an ethical dilemma.
718
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,797
Can a drone distinguish between
an al-Qaeda operative and a goat herder?
719
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,633
I don't care and neither should you.
720
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,313
- Get in there, Will.
- And as for the legality,
721
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,790
the authorization
for the use of military force...
722
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,510
Ask him if the AUMF said we were at war
with terrorists or the Pakistani civilians.
723
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,239
...authorized the President
to pursue terrorists
724
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,471
with all necessary appropriate force.
725
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,711
Drones represent the safest form
of lethal action
726
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,871
against terrorist targets, period.
727
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:04,798
- It's more complicated than that.
- Period.
728
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,639
Ask him about the AUMF.
729
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,073
...AQ and Taliban
senior leadership in Afghanistan,
730
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,751
Pakistan, Yemen,
and the Horn of Africa, period.
731
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,990
Get in.
732
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,833
So, naturally,
here comes the Human Rights Watch...
733
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,116
AUMF.
734
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,272
The United Nations treaty
on international humanism...
735
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,559
The UN gets four blocks of free parking
on the east side of Manhattan, and that's it.
736
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,677
- That's not it.
- Period.
737
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,831
We're going to have to end this there.
738
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,435
This is News Night.
We'll be back right after this.
739
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,074
2:30 back.
740
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,276
I like to use the full range of punctuation,
741
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,840
commas, colons, parentheses.
742
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,718
- He was trying to get noticed.
- No shit.
743
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,120
Why'd Will go quiet? I teed him up...
744
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,998
Will's not your problem.
The panel's your problem.
745
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,913
I'll have a word with him. He's very good.
746
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,195
Use Jim's guys.
747
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,912
Yep. I will.
748
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,274
Two minutes.
749
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,073
- Good?
- What was with "period, period"?
750
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:11,833
- I meant it.
- Cy, you're a little over-the-top.
751
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,400
Somebody say something?
Did Will say something?
752
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,039
- No, he's still on the air.
- I'm gonna get asked back?
753
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:16,952
It's not up to me.
754
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,914
All right.
755
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,475
I'm gonna give you a story now.
756
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,075
I'm gonna give you a name to call,
757
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,317
but you have to use me to help you follow it.
758
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,754
What kind of story?
759
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,634
You have to use me to help you follow it.
760
00:34:36,240 --> 00:34:37,833
What kind of story?
761
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,119
The kind that makes careers
and ends presidencies.
762
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,479
Look, man,
763
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,597
I'm trying to help you,
but you've been fucked up since...
764
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,034
I'm trying to help you.
765
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,998
I'm trying to help you.
766
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,955
"Makes careers and ends presidencies."
767
00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,357
A black op called Genoa.
768
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,998
That's News Night for August 24th, 2011.
769
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,470
Terry Smith is coming up next
with The Capitol Report,
770
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,234
followed by Sloan Sabbith
filling in on Right Now.
771
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,437
I'm Will McAvoy. Good night.
772
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,280
And clear.
773
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,958
You know what?
I agreed with everything he said.
774
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,714
- How about the way he said it?
- It wasn't my style, but...
775
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,519
The AUMF, you were able to hear me, right?
776
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,795
There didn't seem to be an opening.
777
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,200
You didn't have a problem making one
778
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,590
when you went to break 41 seconds early.
779
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,353
Sorry about that.
780
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:53,349
- Good show.
- Thanks.
781
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,079
- Good night.
- Good job.
782
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,073
Hey, everyone. Good to see you.
783
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,197
If there are no announcements,
we'll get started.
784
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,555
No announcements?
785
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,074
Okay, I see some new faces,
so I have to say up front,
786
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,197
no police and no reporters.
787
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:12,960
Everybody?
788
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,910
Dude.
789
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,431
- Me?
- You're wearing ACN credentials.
790
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,151
Yeah, that was pretty stupid.
791
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,635
My name is Neal Sampat, and I'm with ACN,
792
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:29,120
and I'd love to observe the meeting.
793
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,919
No journalists. No exceptions.
794
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,633
Do you mind if I ask a question?
795
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,276
Question?
796
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,835
Why wouldn't you want to get the word out
about the sit-in on the 17th?
797
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,877
I'm John, and we don't call it a sit-in.
798
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,314
Why wouldn't you want to get the word out?
799
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,471
We do, we just don't need your help to do it.
800
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,353
We want to make sure, no offense,
our message is clear
801
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,033
before it's distorted by the press.
802
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:51,600
Your message was clear in the email blast.
803
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,558
You want private money out of politics.
804
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,518
- We may want more than that.
- We do want more than that.
805
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:56,954
Can I ask...
806
00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,150
Yeah.
807
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,029
Are you in charge?
808
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,237
My name's Shelly, and no one's in charge.
809
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:05,599
The findings were bleak,
810
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,639
with results showing
that less than half of high schoolers
811
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:10,837
were able to correctly identify the century
812
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,991
in which the Civil War was fought.
813
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,313
One in four thought Columbus
discovered the New World
814
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,835
sometime after 1750.
815
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,832
And if the Bill of Rights were abolished,
816
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,479
a third of high school students
817
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,075
wouldn't be able to name
a right they just lost.
818
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,913
Things get worse in Oklahoma...
819
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,231
- They almost always do.
- ...where a majority of high school students
820
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,836
failed the test given to immigrants
seeking to become naturalized citizens.
821
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,151
Three-fourths couldn't name
the first US president...
822
00:37:35,240 --> 00:37:36,594
- Ben Franklin. Nailed it.
- ...and only a third knew
823
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,353
the term length of a House member.
824
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,638
- On that note...
- That's all for Wednesday, August 24th.
825
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:43,951
I'm Sloan Sabbith, filling in for Elliot Hirsch.
826
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,190
Have a good night.
827
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,670
Good show.
828
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:48,434
We're clear.
829
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,193
You don't have to say it like that.
830
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,751
I said it the regular way.
831
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,071
- Great show.
- You saw it?
832
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,674
I've got it DVR'd.
833
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,150
Listen, was Will okay on the panel tonight?
834
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:01,676
Sure.
835
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,350
You and me?
836
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,194
I don't know why he didn't jump in
on the AUMF door the guy opened.
837
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,110
I don't know why he didn't cut him off
or throw it to the ethicist.
838
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,238
He seemed to want to make sure
it was clear ACN is antiterrorist.
839
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,191
Maybe he was just getting out of the way.
840
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,716
Yeah.
841
00:38:19,240 --> 00:38:20,720
- Good show tonight.
- You saw it?
842
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,200
- Keep it up.
- Mmm-hmm.
843
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,156
So...
844
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,031
- Are you talking to me?
- Yeah.
845
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,237
And you know you're not speaking right now?
846
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:39,993
When you asked me why I was single,
847
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,992
and I said it was because
you hadn't asked me out,
848
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,833
- I thought it was my last day.
- I know.
849
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,833
And, honestly, it just sounded
like a good line.
850
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,240
I hardly ever land those.
851
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,993
I took it as a joke.
852
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,673
- You did?
- Yeah.
853
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,070
I mean, it was. Good.
854
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,560
All right.
855
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,400
All right.
856
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:00,190
I'm heading home.
857
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,193
I've got a 13-day streak going
of being a good boyfriend.
858
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,511
- What do you get if you hit two weeks?
859
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,639
A healthy conscience.
860
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,272
See you tomorrow.
861
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,399
See you tomorrow.
862
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,875
- Tell me about yourself.
- You tell me about yourself.
863
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,310
I run our show's website,
864
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,869
and I'm trying to get my EP
interested in this story.
865
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,519
Why isn't he interested already?
866
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:26,432
She. It's not that she's not interested.
867
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,398
She's just waiting for it to happen,
868
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,073
and I'd rather get in on the ground floor.
869
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,197
She doesn't like ground floors?
870
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,636
She doesn't think
there's gonna be a second floor.
871
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:35,915
That's all right.
872
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,912
I still don't have your last name.
873
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,719
I'm Shelly Wexler.
874
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,680
I'm a PhD candidate in anthropology at NYU,
where I also teach.
875
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,070
Is this your first experience with activism?
876
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,550
When I was a minor, I was arrested in Seattle
877
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,393
at the WTO protests.
878
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,880
By "minor," you mean you were...
879
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,998
Not coal. "Minor," under 18.
880
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,589
Okay,
were you involved in Seattle?
881
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,558
- Were you involved in the...
- In the violence? No.
882
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,474
I'm nonviolent, as is Occupy Wall Street.
883
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:09,438
"On September 17th,
we want to see 20,000 flood
884
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,319
"into Lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens,
885
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,869
"peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street."
886
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:16,030
Then what?
887
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,396
We stay until our demands are met,
888
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,513
the arrest and prosecution
of the people responsible for the crash,
889
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,796
the formation of a presidential commission
890
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,951
to investigate corruption in politics,
891
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:27,997
the ratification of a constitutional amendment
892
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,356
outlawing the legal designation
of "corporate personhood."
893
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,239
You're gonna sleep in a park
until a constitutional amendment
894
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,118
is ratified by three-quarters of the states?
895
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,271
We mean business, Neal.
896
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,240
What's with the hand signals?
897
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:41,834
It's a Quaker tradition,
898
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:43,474
and a peaceful way of maintaining order
899
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,199
when your movement has no leaders.
900
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,078
Doesn't a movement need leaders?
901
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,311
We believe in a horizontal structure.
902
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,952
Are you worried that the horizontal structure
903
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,271
is gonna give power
to people who shouldn't have it?
904
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,794
You mean Joel and John?
905
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,190
Shelly, you started off
906
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,273
with one clear and not unreasonable demand,
907
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,319
and now you've got, like, 14 of them,
908
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,636
including arresting Bear Stearns
and the Lehman Brothers.
909
00:41:08,720 --> 00:41:10,552
You doing a story or giving advice?
910
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,511
I haven't been assigned the story,
so I'm giving advice.
911
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,195
And you can't have a protest
unless the media's covering it.
912
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,919
The media is gonna cover it.
913
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,356
But they're gonna cover the drum circles
914
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,035
and crunchy, uninformed college kids
yelling at the earners,
915
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,760
who, coincidently, are the same guys
running Time Warner News Corp.
916
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,712
and AWM.
917
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,072
You don't have the patience
for complicated things.
918
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,760
I do.
919
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,638
Then why do you take Wall Street bullshit
920
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,956
like limited government seriously?
921
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:39,391
You and I and God and everybody knows
922
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,755
that the banks couldn't survive until lunch
923
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,196
without zero interest loans
from the government
924
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,840
and bailouts when they bet
a hard eight and lose.
925
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,151
There was straight-up fraud
and you covered Casey Anthony.
926
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:50,800
In our defense,
we were the last ones to do that.
927
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,712
That's a lame defense.
928
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,996
Where was Will McAvoy
when Goldman sold its clients
929
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,436
mortgage-related securities
without disclosing
930
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,831
that the hedge fund manager who chose
the mortgages was betting on them to fail?
931
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,071
Or when Citigroup sold its clients
a mortgage fund
932
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,038
with securities it knew would fail
933
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,351
so the banks could bet against its customers?
934
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,912
Citigroup made 160 million
off its investors losing 700 million.
935
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,993
I expect I'll see your cameras
the first time girls go wild,
936
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,720
but until then, frankly, I just don't trust you
937
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,918
to get a fucking story anywhere close to right,
especially one with distractions.
938
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:24,111
I want this to succeed.
939
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,757
Then you're on the wrong side of the camera.
940
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,000
Sooner or later, you're gonna want us.
941
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,797
Go back to one clear message,
or you guys are gonna be a joke.
942
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:40,993
You can bring that up at the next meeting.
943
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,794
I'll show you the hand signal.
944
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,158
- Mmm?
- Sorry. Sorry.
945
00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,469
Go back to sleep.
946
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,789
What's going on?
947
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,314
It's okay.
948
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:14,994
Honey, what are you doing?
949
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:16,560
I'm just grabbing a couple of things.
950
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,518
I'm gonna be at the Sheraton
on 7th Avenue, okay?
951
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:20,639
- What?
- It's all right.
952
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:23,280
- No, no. What's going on?
- I don't want you to...
953
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,114
- I don't want you to get upset.
- Wait.
954
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,431
Did you just say you're going to a hotel?
955
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,910
Yeah, I called Lisa. Everything's fine.
956
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,673
- Wait.
- You can move back into your old place,
957
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,116
but I figured it'd take a few days
and I wanted to give you some room.
958
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,429
You have to slow down and tell me...
959
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,910
I came home and you were asleep,
960
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,079
and I was at the computer
for a little while and I got an email.
961
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,834
Your cousin sent me an email
with a link to a YouTube video.
962
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,118
What does YouTube have to do with...
963
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,271
What's going on?
Why are you going to a hotel?
964
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,829
Why are you packing?
Slow everything down so I can...
965
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,196
...writing her 800-word column
966
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:57,993
for a newspaper no one's ever heard of,
967
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,312
but I just spent my last $7
having a fight with my best friend,
968
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,199
who, by the way, isn't available at 3:00 p.m.
969
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,431
on a Wednesday to console me
about some guy
970
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,671
because she, too, has a job.
971
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,070
And mostly, when you fall for a guy,
972
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,992
and he's going out with your best friend,
973
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,639
it doesn't work out.
974
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,393
Things get really...
975
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,280
Shit.
976
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,033
Just stand there, okay?
977
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,112
- 'Cause this isn't what it looks...
978
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,239
Why are you laughing?
979
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,752
Oh, if you can't laugh at this...
980
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,080
I mean,
981
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,357
if I weren't a cast member in this story,
I'd think it was pretty funny.
982
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,679
It's on YouTube, Maggie.
You're a news producer.
983
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,559
You didn't think on a busload of tourists,
somebody wasn't gonna record that?
984
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,552
- Please let me explain.
- Nah.
985
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,112
I spent this whole time
thinking I was a bad guy
986
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:51,600
for not being in love with you,
987
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,354
- but it turns out...
- Don't say that.
988
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:58,956
I know that Jim was on the thing.
989
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,193
And he heard you say all that.
990
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,958
My cousin told you?
991
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:05,952
She doesn't like you.
992
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,636
And she has a crush on me.
993
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,716
She's gonna get married
and stab her husband one day,
994
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,076
- but that's beside the point.
995
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,395
- Lisa...
- I didn't tell Lisa about the video.
996
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,597
I just told her it didn't work out.
997
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:24,400
You should call Jim.
998
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,356
Tell him to get off the fucking bus.
999
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,079
We're trying to do the news.
1000
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,990
I should be the one to leave.
1001
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,399
Come on. I should really be the one to leave.
1002
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,798
Take it easy, Maggie.
1003
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:08,310
Why'd I get hit in my head?
1004
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:10,437
- I want to pursue drones.
- You won't catch them.
1005
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,955
- They fly pretty fast.
- Yeah, yeah.
1006
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:14,434
- Jameson rocks?
- Thanks.
1007
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,352
I don't think
there's an immoral way to kill terrorists.
1008
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,318
- There's an illegal way, and we're doing it.
- I don't care.
1009
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,551
'Cause you were
taken off the 9/11 anniversary coverage?
1010
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,711
- Yes!
- I knew you were upset.
1011
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,873
Of course I'm... Are you kidding me?
I'm flipping out!
1012
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:35,079
- Holy shit, Mac. What the fuck did I do?
- I know. It feels bad.
1013
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,153
I used to be exactly the person
that you wanted to see in these moments.
1014
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:40,550
- I don't mean the old days. Like a year ago.
- I know.
1015
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,474
- You still are.
- I remind people of the enemy? Jesus!
1016
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,119
Every blond-haired guy from Nebraska
1017
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,476
reminds people of Muslim extremists.
There's nothing you can do.
1018
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:49,517
- Don't try to make me laugh.
- You can blame it all on me.
1019
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,320
If there was a way to blame it on you,
1020
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:52,959
don't you think
I would have done that by now?
1021
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,232
I've got Roger Daltrey screaming,
"You better, you better, you bet" in my ear.
1022
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,749
Why?
1023
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,151
"You better, you better, you bet."
It's about a really... Know British rock.
1024
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,913
Why can't there be British rock?
1025
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,834
No, K-N-O-W. Know British rock.
1026
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,116
"When I say, 'I love you,' you say, 'You better'.
1027
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:09,680
"You better, you better, you bet."
1028
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,039
Why is Daltrey screaming that in your ear?
1029
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,837
It feels like
the relationship I have with the audience.
1030
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,071
You can't believe what this feels like.
1031
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,951
As a matter of fact, I can.
1032
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:26,593
- I got that.
- Did you?
1033
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,198
Were you really in bed
when I called last night?
1034
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:34,394
Yeah.
1035
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,600
It's Pete Townshend.
1036
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,751
Townshend wrote the song,
Daltrey's singing it.
1037
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:41,755
When does Jim come back?
1038
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:43,315
Couple of weeks.
1039
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,154
Oh, what can possibly happen
in a couple of weeks?
1040
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:49,358
Let's finish our drink.
1041
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,353
"When I say, 'I love you,' you say,
'You better."' That person's just mean.
1042
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,638
- Are you able to notice the irony?
- I see the irony.
1043
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,877
I'm gonna pay for these.
She'll take the Jameson to go.
1044
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,634
"I don't really mind how much you love me.
A little is all right."
1045
00:48:05,720 --> 00:48:07,677
You get that,
in a completely different context,
1046
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,355
Roger Daltrey could be me singing what I'm...
1047
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,636
- What I would sing...
- You're saying it works on different levels.
1048
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:15,235
Your relationship with strangers
or my relationship with you?
1049
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,232
- The first one.
- I don't think either of us
1050
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,198
have the first idea what that song's about.
1051
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,152
AUMF.
1052
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:26,875
I've never seen you
leave a rebuttal that fat on the table.
1053
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,917
- I don't care whose side you're on.
- I know.
1054
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,038
Don't do it again.
And I can pay for my own drinks, pal o' mine.
1055
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:33,839
- Fine.
- Damn right it's fine.
1056
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,354
I said, "Fine."
1057
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,119
I left my purse up at the office.
1058
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,157
And I'll need some cash for the cab.
1059
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,510
And for the cab tomorrow morning.
1060
00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:03,072
If Ben Furusho
hadn't broken his ankle,
1061
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,197
if Jim hadn't gone to cover for him,
1062
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,590
if Dantana hadn't come up to cover for Jim,
1063
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,797
if Mike Tapley
1064
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,076
had been on the panel instead of Cyrus West,
1065
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,393
if I'd caught it before instead of after...
1066
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,278
God damn it!
1067
00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:25,471
You know, nobody believed Genoa at first.
1068
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,280
It was impossible to believe.
1069
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,638
But piece by piece,
1070
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:36,999
the evidence started coming in
and suddenly it was impossible to deny.
1071
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,790
It was the biggest thing
any of us had ever touched, including Charlie.
1072
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,997
It was...
1073
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,356
The Pentagon Papers,
and we were the only ones who had it.
1074
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,916
We average about 1.5 million viewers.
1075
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,071
Genoa got 5.5 million.
1076
00:49:56,240 --> 00:49:59,916
It was the most viewed program
in the history of cable news.
1077
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:04,750
So, yeah, definitely,
1078
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,150
if Ben Furusho had landed in the pool
1079
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,436
instead of on the pavement,
1080
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,477
we wouldn't be talking right now.
1081
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,359
And Will wouldn't be
standing out in the hallway.
1082
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,113
He's there, right?
1083
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,477
It's because I'm in here.
1084
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,435
He's worried he got me in trouble
and not the other way around.
1085
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,672
And you've got to admit, for a guy who lives
to be liked by the audience,
1086
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,871
he lets us put his life in danger a lot.
1087
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:44,516
When I was little,
I asked my uncle how much a lawyer costs.
1088
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,680
He said if it's bad, 300 pounds.
1089
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,911
If it's really bad, 400 pounds.
1090
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,879
And if it's really bad and you're guilty...
1091
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,959
How much do you cost?
1092
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,757
1,500 an hour.
1093
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,151
It's after midnight. Are you okay?
1094
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:10,990
Yeah.
1095
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,912
Let's start from the beginning.
1096
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,991
Can you grab some more coffee?
We ran out a while ago.
1097
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,200
State your full name
and current occupation, please.
1098
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,517
MacKenzie Morgan McHale.
1099
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,355
I'm the executive producer
of News Night with Will McAvoy.
1100
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,437
And when did you start at this job?
