Man: "the liberty report"
with sally langston.

00:00:06,465 --> 00:00:08,098
Two gifts have arrived,

00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,334
Addressed to you,
lovers of liberty.

The first gift --
hollis doyle.

The texas truth-teller is
throwing his hat into the ring.

To which I say -- yee-haw!
Saddle up, little doggie.

The second gift?

00:00:21,246 --> 00:00:22,813
Well, yours truly has agreed
10
00:00:22,815 --> 00:00:24,915
To host
the first republican debate --
11
00:00:24,917 --> 00:00:27,451
A duty I take very seriously,
12
00:00:27,453 --> 00:00:29,019
For debates mean setting aside
13
00:00:29,021 --> 00:00:30,821
Petty infighting
between the candidates
14
00:00:30,823 --> 00:00:32,289
And putting the lofty concerns

Of the voters and the republic

You really think
it's okay for your network

To allow hollis doyle's
super pac to advertise
19
00:00:38,263 --> 00:00:39,262

We haven't decided
on super pacs.

I can afford it.

Now,
let's discuss podiums.

00:00:59,018 --> 00:01:00,951
We want clear, lucite.
Oh, no way.
36
00:01:00,953 --> 00:01:02,352
My candidate's
vertically challenged.
37
00:01:02,354 --> 00:01:03,387
She needs a box to stand on.
38
00:01:03,389 --> 00:01:04,721
And risk losing
that shorty vote?
39
00:01:04,723 --> 00:01:06,123
She can't use a box
if the podium is clear.
40
00:01:06,125 --> 00:01:07,491
That's all
people would talk about.
41
00:01:07,493 --> 00:01:08,825
I'd kill
for some of that shorty vote.
42
00:01:08,827 --> 00:01:10,060
The purpose
of this whole endeavor
43
00:01:10,062 --> 00:01:10,894
Is for the voters
to get a good, clear look
44
00:01:10,896 --> 00:01:12,229
At all the candidates.
45
00:01:12,231 --> 00:01:14,064
Oh, please. This is all about
showing off mellie's legs.

Is declared
the front-runner
51
00:01:23,342 --> 00:01:24,908
And gets the podium
at center stage.
52
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:26,009
Your poll?
53
00:01:26,011 --> 00:01:27,244
You have a problem
with our polling?
54
00:01:27,246 --> 00:01:29,179
Your samples are tiny.
Your questions are vague.
55
00:01:29,181 --> 00:01:31,581
Frankly, your polling sucks.
She is right.
56
00:01:31,583 --> 00:01:33,050
It isn't reliable enough
to determine a front-runner.
57
00:01:33,052 --> 00:01:34,551
The stakes of who's at
the center podium are too high.
58
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:38,188
We stand by our poll.
This point is not negotiable.
59
00:01:38,190 --> 00:01:40,590
We want a red light
indicating when time is up --
60
00:01:40,592 --> 00:01:42,392

If there's no buzzer,
no blinking light,

She'll let him run wild,
fill all the air time.

I'm sorry --
no light, no buzzer.

slamming bnc's blatant bias

half your ratings.

Susan: What you're suggesting,
mr. Doyle --
101
00:03:03,942 --> 00:03:05,809
That's not
an immigration policy,
102
00:03:05,811 --> 00:03:07,344
It's institutionalized
racism.
103
00:03:07,346 --> 00:03:09,346
Now, hold on a minute.
If we close our borders --
104
00:03:09,348 --> 00:03:12,983
Do you have any idea how much
of our economy depends
105
00:03:12,985 --> 00:03:15,252
On the ideas and contributions
of non-citizens?
106
00:03:15,254 --> 00:03:17,254
The best young minds
in the world,
107
00:03:17,256 --> 00:03:19,823
They come here,
they enroll in our universities,
108
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:21,591
And once they graduate,
they stay.
109
00:03:21,593 --> 00:03:23,693
And we want them to stay.
110
00:03:23,695 --> 00:03:27,030
They become our engineers,
our doctors, our scientists.
111
00:03:27,032 --> 00:03:29,766
Immigration isn't a curse,
mr. Doyle.
112
00:03:29,768 --> 00:03:32,602
It's the key
to staying competitive.
113
00:03:32,604 --> 00:03:33,537

Yes.
I can't -- I won't...

I guarantee you
there is no one on this planet

As stubborn and as arrogant
and as big a pain in the ass

she'd make a great president.

Well? Is it true?
I don't know.

If anyone knew, it'd be you.
Aren't you curious?

running for president?

00:04:24,523 --> 00:04:26,056
You should announce.

our first black president.

What the hell?

Back during
the impeachment hearings,

was asking for your head --

00:24:38,903 --> 00:24:42,404
Who came to your rescue
and sang your praises
on national television?
712
00:24:42,406 --> 00:24:43,405
Edison.
713
00:24:43,407 --> 00:24:44,706
Whose engagement ring
did you return
714
00:24:44,708 --> 00:24:47,075
Because he was the head
of the senate intel committee
715
00:24:47,077 --> 00:24:48,777
And your father
felt threatened by him?
716
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:50,279
This isn't the speech
I was asking for.
717
00:24:50,281 --> 00:24:54,049
This man has been
nothing but nice to you.

Of course you have.
722
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:06,562
But that was always at the
expense of someone you loathed.
723
00:25:06,564 --> 00:25:09,131
You were robin hood,
724
00:25:09,133 --> 00:25:10,666
Stealing from the rich
and giving to the poor.
725
00:25:10,668 --> 00:25:11,733
This would be different.
726
00:25:11,735 --> 00:25:14,002
This would be hurting
someone you respect,

Someone
who is innocent,
728
00:25:15,172 --> 00:25:18,740
Someone who has never
done anything to harm you.

You'd no longer be robin hood,

The reason
mellie grant imploded today

Is because you were trying to
make her something she wasn't.
733
00:25:38,495 --> 00:25:40,496
I'd hate to see you make
the same mistake with yourself.
734
00:25:55,144 --> 00:25:56,478
Finally,
after running into him again,
735
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,813
He asked me out,
and here we are.
736
00:25:57,815 --> 00:25:59,348
Wow.
That happened so fast?
737
00:25:59,350 --> 00:26:01,216
Yeah. I don't know
if I believe in fate,
738
00:26:01,218 --> 00:26:03,051
But if it wasn't fate,
it was pretty darn close.

Oh, god.
I envy that.
740
00:26:04,822 --> 00:26:08,056

after only a few months.

I can tell you, he definitely
knows all my secrets.

That's the one drawback
to marrying the head of the nsa.
