1
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,799
Tess Westin, AP.

2
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,916
Yes.

3
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,640
Gary Cooper.

4
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Can that really be his name?

5
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,553
Yes. Desk producer.

6
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,313
Tamara Hart, AP.

7
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:20,710
I'm on fire.

8
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,800
New neighbors.

9
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,196
Okay.

10
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,513
- Morning.
- Big day.

11
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,920
Can I talk to you a second?

12
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,753
- We've got a rundown meeting.
- Yeah.

13
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,839
- They're very young out there.
- I know.

14
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,000
But what they lack in experience,
they make up for in inexperience.

15
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,116
- Mac...
- It's an asset.

16
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,674
They don't know
how to do the news badly yet.

17
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,796
Or really at all.

18
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:04,599
Some of them will be doing things
they haven't done before,

19
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,115
but they'll be supervised.
I want to grow these people,

20
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,350
so you're going to go easy on them.

21
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,830
We talked about this last night,
and for three hours the night before

22
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,758
and again at 4:00 a.m. this morning.

23
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,360
And you're sure
you don't wanna lead with the spill?

24
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,194
- I am. Is that what you wanted to talk about?
- No.

25
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,273
I think most people here know
that you and I were together a while ago.

26
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,999
- I think so, too.
- I don't want anyone to know

27
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,355
- why we're not together now.
- Sure.

28
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,193
- I mean no one.
- You think I'm gonna talk about it?

29
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,919
I find it hard to predict
what you will and won't do.

30
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,992
- I won't be telling anyone.
- As long as we're straight.

31
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,833
- We are.
- No one. Nothing.

32
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,639
Just to be clear, you want me

33
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,076
- to tell some people, but not everyone.
- Let's go.

34
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,119
You're going to have nine minutes
with Jan Brewer, nine minutes with La Raza.

35
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,437
I wanna go on record saying
we should open with the spill.

36
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,159
- Done.
- We'll open with the spill?

37
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,038
No, but you're on record
saying you think we should.

38
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,514
The spill is all anyone's talking about.

39
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,034
Because we're the ones telling them to.

40
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,430
We're still reporting on it, just not at the top.

41
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,513
I'm looking at film
of an oil rig sinking into the ocean.

42
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,590
That's pretty good television.

43
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,593
We don't do good television, we do the news.

44
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,756
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

45
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,834
And welcome to the first pitch meeting
of <i>News Night 2.0.</i>

46
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,280
The chaos of the spill is settling down,
and we get to do our first real show.

47
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,919
11:00, I hear the pitches,

48
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,992
4:00, the show starts to look like the show,

49
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,434
and 6:00, we lock it in.

50
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,880
I learned everyone's names last night.

51
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,713
A huge step
in the right direction.

52
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,919
We'll be opening tonight with SB 1070,
the Arizona immigration bill,

53
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,794
which Will supports, by the way.

54
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,554
You all thought he was a closet liberal
when, really, he's a closet moron.

55
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,280
I'm not a closet anything.
Seriously, I know everyone's name.

56
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,273
I was up half the night
learning to pronounce Calanasia Zbrezniak.

57
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,670
Cally doesn't work here anymore.

58
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,950
- Dianastasia Jorma?
- Nope.

59
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,111
Mohammed al Mohammed
el Mohammed bin Bazir?

60
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,236
Went to Fox.

61
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,277
Fox hired someone
with three Mohammeds in their name?

62
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,113
But let's give him a hand for effort.

63
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,032
Shut up!

64
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,318
- Is your name really Gary Cooper?
- Yeah.

65
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,199
What is <i>News Night 2.0?</i>

66
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,959
- This is...
- Mac, the...

67
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,554
Right, thank you.

68
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,790
Before we get to <i>2.0,</i>

69
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,237
I'm supposed to read something from IT,
and I don't want to forget.

70
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,399
"New aliases have been set up
for in-house e-mails.

71
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,393
"Autocomplete has been enabled
on your Outlook."

72
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,390
Anybody know what that meant?

73
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,550
Right.

74
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,437
"Asterisk-interns" or "asterisk-staff,"
an asterisk makes it go to a group.

75
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,034
No asterisk makes it go to an individual.

76
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,992
Your name is Neelamani Sampat.

77
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,355
- Nailed it.
- Neal's fine.

78
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,715
Can you say it one more time?

79
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:24,399
Just type an e-mail to someone.

80
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,270
Okay, I'm sending an e-mail to Will.

81
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,199
I'm typing it.

82
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,797
- I'm still typing it.
- What are you doing now?

83
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,075
Still typing.

84
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,080
And I'm sending it.

85
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,599
It's all right. You made two mistakes.

86
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,035
You used an asterisk,

87
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,840
and instead of typing "W" for "Will,"
you typed "S" for "staff."

88
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,320
They're close together on the keyboard.

89
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,357
"Will McAvoy's a closet bigot
who hates immigrants,

90
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,238
"even though this country
was founded by immigrants."

91
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,800
- Everybody get the same thing?
- Yep.

92
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,270
No one in this newsroom's job

93
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,158
is being threatened
by an undocumented worker.

94
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,352
Here we go. This is <i>News Night 2.0.</i>

95
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,874
Sorry!

96
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,718
- Excuse me, Charlie?
- Yeah.

97
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,029
You wanted to see me?

98
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,520
A 12-year-old kid in Topeka

99
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,030
is trying to convince me
he's got a pair of jacks in the hole.

100
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,191
- Shouldn't he be in school?
- He is in school.

101
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:18,634
- How can I help you?
- Hang on.

102
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,630
He really did have jacks in the hole.

103
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,077
Is there a way I can tell his parents?

104
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:26,958
- I'm a little busy.
- Sure.

105
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,316
You know how you have a secret meeting
with Will every day to talk about numbers?

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,560
- I... We don't have a secret meeting.
- Yeah, you do.

107
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,836
You meet with him in private
and you tell him exactly...

108
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:37,990
I do it at his request.

109
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,594
- It's very instructive.
- It is.

110
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,750
- It's invaluable.
- Yeah.

111
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,115
I want you to stop.

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,157
Don't break down the numbers
for him for a little while.

113
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,869
Can I ask why?

114
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,317
We're trying something new,
and I don't want him getting cold feet.

115
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,880
- He listens to you.
- He should.

116
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,280
But what do you mean
you're trying something new?

117
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,477
We're going to try doing the news,
and see what happens.

118
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,356
I don't get it.

119
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,796
There are two important conversations,

120
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,713
how do we do the best news possible,

121
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,632
and how do we get the most people to watch?

122
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,838
I don't want one of those conversations
to have anything to do with the other...

123
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,752
You don't want ratings to drive content.

124
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:09,160
- Exactly.
- Neither do I.

125
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,749
- I want content to drive ratings.
- That's the hope.

126
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,230
But for the moment,
I don't want ratings in Will's head at all.

127
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,313
I'd be able to tell him
you spiked close to 75,000 new viewers

128
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:18,436
since you broke your story.

129
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,273
- That's 10% in four days.
- Yeah.

130
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,114
In addition to the haul he brought in
after he went crazy at Northwestern.

131
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,429
- He didn't go crazy.
- I'd be able to tell him

132
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,352
that 32% of those are in the demo...

133
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,080
- Reese.
- And 44% make over 75K,

134
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,595
which means we can charge more
for 15 and 30s

135
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,120
and get out
of the wheelchair-selling business.

136
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,714
And what does he do with that information?

137
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,632
He stretches out the spill as long as he can.

138
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,269
- That's ratings driving content.
- That's just reality.

139
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,636
- Reese.
- No, I need to be able to do my job.

140
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,951
Just don't break down the numbers for Will.

141
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,711
We've never gotten along that well, have we?

142
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,032
Reese, don't break down the numbers for Will.

143
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,472
If I hid in a locked vault
buried under the AWM building,

144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,314
Will would find me
so I could break down the numbers for him,

145
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,995
because Will McAvoy is
the biggest ratings whore in the business.

146
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,833
- I'm not the bad guy.
- Nobody's the bad guy.

147
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,191
Though if you call Will a whore again,

148
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,035
I'm going to take out your teeth
one punch at a time.

149
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,074
- Anything else?
- No, sir.

150
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,752
This is a new show and there are new rules.

151
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,553
One, "Is this information
we need in the voting booth?"

152
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,873
Two, "Is this the best possible form
of the argument?"

153
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,514
And three, "Is the story in historical context?"

154
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,031
You can use a mnemonic device.

155
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,830
I, I, I, the three "I's."

156
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,793
- That's not really helpful.
- I was gonna say.

157
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,916
We're not opening with BP?

158
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,759
It'll go down in the D block.
There's nothing new.

159
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,554
How about today's day four
of the president not saying anything about it?

160
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,031
Would you get off the man's back?
Jesus Christ, I'm surprised you found room.

161
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,349
Gary, Kendra.

162
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,080
Gary is the smart black guy
who's not afraid to criticize Obama.

163
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,995
Kendra got double 800s on her SATs,
makes Gary crazy. I studied.

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,311
BP's going in the D block. Jim.

165
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,872
SB 1070 passed the Arizona House last week,
and a few days later, passed the State Senate.

166
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,189
Its official name is

167
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,637
the "Support Our Law Enforcement
and Safe Neighborhoods Act."

168
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,270
It requires immigrants carry their
alien registration documents at all times,

169
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,716
requires police question people
if there's reason to suspect

170
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,473
they're in the United States illegally,

171
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,552
and it targets those
who hire illegal immigrants.

172
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:19,915
The governor signs the bill today.

173
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,390
Is it worth mentioning this is the same state
that offered a bill

174
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,359
requiring presidential candidates to show
their birth certificates

175
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,556
in order to get on the ballot?

176
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,393
In a courtroom,
that would be called "prejudicial."

177
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,675
It would be called prejudicial anywhere.

178
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,194
Nope, not that kind of prejudicial.

179
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,352
We've got the governor for nine minutes.

180
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,909
- Just us. She's only talking to Will.
- How'd you swing that?

181
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,832
By telling her about <i>News Night 2.0.</i>

182
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,036
You showed her the easel?

183
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,158
I convinced her she's not going to have
to outshout a crazy person.

184
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,314
That studio is a courtroom,

185
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,518
and we only call expert witnesses.

186
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,950
Will is the attorney for both sides.

187
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,158
He examines the witness and reveals facts.

188
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,234
You will be amazed at the guests we'll book
using that unbelievably obvious template.

189
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:01,750
You don't have to raise your hand.

190
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,309
I saw one of those crazy militia guys
on <i>Jon Stewart</i> last night.

191
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,436
We could also have him on.

192
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,113
Did you hear me
when I was speaking just then

193
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,759
or were you distracted by a bumblebee?

194
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,636
What does the "I" stand for?

195
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,155
The second "I."

196
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,954
"Is this the best possible
form of the argument?"

197
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,838
Not the most colorful version,

198
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,798
not the most outrageous version,

199
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,156
but the best possible version.

200
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,630
- How do you define "best"?
- I define it by the source.

201
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,475
I define it by the number
of relevant facts it contains,

202
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:35,554
and I define it by an X factor
that I trust Will and myself to determine,

203
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,757
using our combined five decades in the field.

204
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,712
What's the best possible version
of the "birther" argument?

205
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,156
There isn't one. And that's the fourth. Ah!

206
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,880
This one's an "A."

207
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,191
Are there really two sides to this story?

208
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,398
So it's I-I-I-A.

209
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,358
What does that mean, "Are there really..."

210
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,956
The media is biased towards success,
and the media is biased towards fairness.

211
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,480
How can you be biased toward fairness?

212
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:58,358
There aren't two sides to every story.

213
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,035
Some stories have five sides,
some only have one.

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,077
- You don't have to raise your hand.
- I still don't under...

215
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,150
Biased toward fairness means

216
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,072
that if the entire
Congressional Republican Caucus

217
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,038
were to walk into the House
and propose a resolution

218
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,510
stating that the Earth was flat,
the <i>Times</i> would lead with,

219
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,796
"Democrats and Republicans
Can't Agree on Shape of Earth."

220
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,075
Uh...

221
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,514
Mac?

222
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,592
- Would you let them raise their hands?
- Fine.

223
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,672
- Back to immigration.
- Neelamani Sampat.

224
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,831
- It means blue jewel.
- I didn't know that.

225
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,513
I did. I took the time. I care.

226
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,556
Are you asking him out?

227
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,552
If he wants me to. I'm nice.

228
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,439
- And what are you still doing here?
- I was asked to help.

229
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,876
Don generously volunteered
to help during the transition.

230
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,992
- He was asked or he volunteered?
- I'm happy to go.

231
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,350
- Apologize.
- I'm sorry.

232
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,590
- To Don.
- I'm over it.

233
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,160
- Neal.
- There is an alternative weekly in Spokane

234
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,597
called the <i>Pacific Northwest Insider</i>

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,514
that published an article about immigration
a couple of weeks ago.

236
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,871
The story featured a guy named Hector Nunez

237
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,077
who revealed that when he was 16,

238
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,117
his parents told him
that he was living here illegally.

239
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,475
The paper used his real name?

240
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,554
Yeah, and the state of Washington rescinded
his driver's license after the piece came out.

241
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,711
He needs his car to get
to his job with a small moving company

242
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,031
and to take his kids to school in the morning.

243
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,318
- I thought we could have him on.
- I've got to budget 42 minutes.

244
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,870
I've already spent 18
on Jan Brewer and La Raza.

245
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,792
I thought we could put
a human face on immigration.

246
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,111
How about putting a human face
on the guy whose job he took?

247
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,470
We don't have the time.

248
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,276
We've got 1070, BP and a senate candidate

249
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,272
who says poor people
can pay doctors with chickens.

250
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,750
But even if we did have the time,
it would be emotionally manipulative.

251
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,160
- How?
- We'd be putting him there

252
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,469
so that we can feel sorry for him.

253
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,233
We should feel sorry for him.
He's getting screwed.

254
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,874
You should feel sorry
for the guy whose job he took.

255
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,792
I don't want to feel sorry for anybody.

256
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,237
I want the facts, and neither of them
can provide facts.

257
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,118
- Somebody's gonna book this kid.
- Nobody's gonna book him.

258
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,840
Nobody's gonna have heard of him.
It's an alternative weekly in Spokane.

259
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:38,950
And do you see,

260
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,430
"What's our competition doing," on the easel?

261
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,352
- No, but I wish I did.
- Moving on.

262
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,114
The Dow has ticked down 108 points

263
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,271
on a surprisingly
weak durable-goods orders report

264
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,192
from the Commerce Department
that has raised worries...

265
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,352
Listen, I'm not gonna take it
from him in public or private.

266
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,272
- I'm doing you guys a favor.
- I'm sorry.

267
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,874
I understand and he knows that.

268
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,633
You're cutting <i>PopWatch</i>
and <i>Today on YouTube?</i>

269
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,030
I am and I know they're both yours, but...

270
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,236
I don't care that they're mine.

271
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,277
I care that they're the most
popular segments on the show.

272
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,430
Look at the minute to minutes.

273
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,239
Feel free to use them
when you and Elliot start at 10:00.

274
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,835
Yeah, there's gonna be nobody left at 10:00
if you lead off the night with

275
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,354
the "Will McAvoy Makes You
Eat Your Vegetables Hour."

276
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,470
Hmm?

277
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,275
Forget it.

278
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,670
- Maggie.
- Yeah.

279
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,831
Mac wants me to supervise
your pre-interview with Brewer's office.

280
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,956
- I was told.
- All right,

281
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,952
you're gonna be talking to a spokesperson.

282
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,315
I'll call him now.

283
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,392
I thought maybe we could do
a practice run first.

284
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,160
Okay, I'd like to say, with all respect,

285
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,311
that I don't feel I need to be supervised.

286
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,153
- Okay.
- You'll let me do it by myself?

287
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,792
No, I just meant, okay, I heard you say that.

288
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,151
I've been here a year.
You've been here three days.

289
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,276
Mac's working with a group

290
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,079
of relatively inexperienced people
she doesn't know.

291
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,230
- I know that.
- All right.

292
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,073
- So you'll let me do it myself?
- No.

293
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,716
- Then I'm doing this under protest.
- I'm sorry?

294
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,679
I'm just... I'll be...
I'm doing this under protest.

295
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,319
- What does that look like?
- It'll be the same.

296
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,153
I'm just lodging an official protest.

297
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,317
- With who?
- My immediate superior, I guess.

298
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,669
That's me.

299
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,240
- Well, are you writing it down?
- No.

300
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,794
Are you really considering going to 10:00?

301
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,755
- Don made some compelling arguments.
- Yeah? What were they?

302
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,639
That growing something from scratch
is something I should experience.

303
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,480
- Okay.
- Whoa, whoa, wait.

304
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:13,710
- What did that mean?
- Nothing.

305
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:14,836
- Really?
- Yeah.

306
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,400
I know exactly what you're thinking.

307
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,039
I can't say the same.

308
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,474
You don't think
I'm making a relationship choice?

309
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,791
- No.
- That this is just a temp gig for me

310
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,118
until someone puts a ring on it
and I can have kids?

311
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,038
I wasn't saying... I didn't say any of that.

312
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,919
You don't think that I don't have
the same commitment to news that you do?

313
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,116
No.

314
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,432
I'll be honest because of the way
I phrased those questions,

315
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,552
I wasn't totally clear
on what your answers meant.

316
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,553
I think that you have the same commitment
to the news that I do.

317
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,638
I think kids are great. I used to be one.

318
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,200
And I can't remember the third thing, but...

319
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,600
- Ring, ring.
- Thank you.

320
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,273
- Ring, ring.
- Hi, it's Glenn Fisher.

321
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,555
- Glenn Fisher?
- Yes.

322
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,552
- That's the spokesperson I'm talking to?
- Yes.

323
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,676
I thought it was John Markell.

324
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,433
Fisher's a press agent
who's doing the pre-interview.

325
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:54,475
Okay.

326
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,235
First, you go into iNEWS
and you look over the questions

327
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,834
the segment producer put in the rundown.

328
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,078
Identify yourself and your news agency,
summarize the segment,

329
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,480
the length, whether it's live or not,

330
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,153
and who we're having on from the other side.

331
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,751
I'm sorry, but don't I first open my eyes
and notice it's a new day?

332
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,433
- What are we talking about here?
- I've done this before.

333
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,240
- Okay.
- What is this magic box in front of me?

334
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,390
Have I done something to you?

335
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,358
I swear I was just thinking
the exact same thing.

336
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,033
I have no idea why I'm being mean to you.

337
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,349
Now that you know that,
do you think you'll stop?

338
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,358
That's the thing, it doesn't feel like it.

339
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:22,470
I'm just being honest.

340
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,233
I can't ask for more than that,
except rational thought.

341
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,840
- What was that?
- Nothing.

342
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,559
- Ring, ring.
- Hi, it's Glenn Fisher.

343
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,354
Glenn, this is Margaret Jordan.

344
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,079
I'm an associate producer at <i>News Night,</i>

345
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,113
and I'm doing the pre-interview
for the governor's appearance this evening.

346
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,079
I know Will's gonna wanna ask
why mean people

347
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,470
tend to pour into your state
like it's a bathtub drain.

348
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:40,630
Will's not gonna wanna ask that.

349
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,440
I think they're building the fence
on the wrong side of the state.

350
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,034
Margaret, here in Arizona,

351
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,840
the government can barely pay
for the needs of native-born poor as it is,

352
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,513
welfare, education, Social Security,

353
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,478
especially when so many households here

354
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,358
are one or two paychecks away
from the poverty line.

355
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,635
You're scapegoating these people.

356
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,440
Stop. I just said illegals cost money.

357
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,358
- Ask the follow-up.
- Okay.

358
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,036
Ask it.

359
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,391
My follow-up, Mr. Fisher, is this.

360
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,469
I understand
that having undocumented workers

361
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:09,755
living in the US costs money,

362
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,797
and it's a problem
we have to do something about,

363
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,158
but shouldn't it be a point of pride
for Americans

364
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,312
that others are willing to uproot their families
just to come here?

365
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,398
The follow-up was, "How much do they cost?"

366
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,120
But, yes, it is a point of pride
that people wanna come to America,

367
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,157
and we value our diverse
population in Arizona,

368
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,675
but we just want people to immigrate legally
and become citizens.

369
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,514
And I'm sure that's what's behind
the emotion and the vitriol.

370
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,876
Americans hate it when people
don't fill out the proper paperwork.

371
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,030
You can't antagonize the...

372
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,680
I'm gonna ask the right questions, you dweeb.

373
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,672
- And you'll follow up?
- I'll follow up.

374
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,798
My point is that whatever side
of this you're on,

375
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,155
the rhetoric we use to talk about these people

376
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,755
who risk their lives
to have a shot at picking oranges

377
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,911
so their kids have a shot at not being dead

378
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,789
makes it sound like we're talking about
scraping gum off our shoes.

379
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,914
These people chose to take a huge risk
to become Americans,

380
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,435
and they deserve a better descriptor
than "illegals."

381
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,594
You don't need me. You got this one.

382
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,556
Thank you.

383
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,360
<i>Another story making headlines
this morning is, of course, Greece,</i>

384
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,716
<i>whose prime minister
officially requested activation</i>

385
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,792
of the EU/IMF bailout package,

386
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,712
lifting the euro
from its lowest level of the year

387
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,553
and sending commodity prices soaring.

388
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,472
We'll have that and the rest
of the day's financial news

389
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,119
on <i>Market Wrap-Up</i> at 4:00.

390
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,395
I'm Sloan Sabbith.

391
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,040
Let's go out to Diane
and Billy on the west coast

392
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:31,634
for <i>Atlantis Hollywood.</i>

393
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,116
And we're clear.

394
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,395
- Hello.
- Sloan, I'm MacKenzie McHale.

395
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,472
- I know. It's good to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you.

396
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,756
- Do you have a minute?
- Sure. Thanks.

397
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,959
You know, I was watching you earlier

398
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,351
when you were talking about two companies,
Capital One and...

399
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,556
- Baxter.
- Baxter.

400
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,394
And the prompter said, "Both of whom
are hinting at good numbers,"

401
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,915
and you said, "Both of which
are hinting at good numbers."

402
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,070
Was that an accident?

403
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,560
No. I didn't write that copy.

404
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,115
I changed it to "which"
because "whom" is for people.

405
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,157
- Is someone in trouble?
- No.

406
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,073
Do you mind coming into my office
for a second?

407
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,196
Sure.

408
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,272
What's the difference
between a corporation and a person?

409
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:11,753
Have you ever held a door open for someone?

410
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,320
- Yes.
- Did you ask them for money first?

411
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,073
- No.
- That's the difference.

412
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,276
That's the right answer.

413
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:18,591
- Am I taking a test?
- I've asked around and people say

414
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,273
you don't belong here,
that you could be making

415
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,431
a lot more money as an analyst at Goldman.

416
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,830
Couldn't you be making a lot more money
producing reality television?

417
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,550
I do produce reality television.

418
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,916
I don't know what to tell you. I like my job.

419
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,679
Do you feel like working longer hours?

420
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,269
They talked to me
about doing a morning show

421
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,635
a couple of times, but I can't do that.

422
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,071
I'm not interested in cooking.
I make sandwiches.

423
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,155
I get that I don't necessarily look like it,
but I'm an economist.

424
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,596
- Thanks, though.
- Yeah, I meant in prime time.

425
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,512
I want to give you five minutes every night

426
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,195
to talk about where we are
and how we got here.

427
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,430
Are you serious?

428
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:54,754
There are people more qualified than I am.

429
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,480
I can put you in touch with some
of the professors that I studied under...

430
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,995
Yeah, the thing is they're
not going to have your legs.

431
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,356
I'm sorry, but if I'm going to get people
to listen to an economics lesson,

432
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,399
I've got to find someone
who doesn't look like George Bernard Shaw.

433
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,518
I would not ask you
if I didn't think you were qualified.

434
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,596
You want me to do pole dancing
while explaining subprime mortgages?

435
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,830
If you're up to it, sure.

436
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,635
All right, I get it.

437
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,558
We'll start a conversation
with Will about our goals

438
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,114
- and how we're going to get there.
- Great.

439
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,793
I think you and I are going to be good friends.

440
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:25,950
- I'd like that.
- Me, too.

441
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,032
- Okay.
- I mean it. I don't have any friends.

442
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:29,750
Oh.

443
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,997
You know, you're new in town, so...

444
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,799
Yeah, yeah.

445
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,354
You know, you and I
have something in common.

446
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,476
What's that?

447
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,320
I had a boyfriend who cheated on me, too.

448
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:41,869
- Ah.
- The week of our wedding.

449
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,872
Oh. Oh.

450
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:46,990
I don't understand.

451
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,356
I know about Will.

452
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,598
Yeah, yeah.

453
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,509
I still don't understand.

454
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,357
Wait, Will didn't cheat on me.

455
00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,760
- I used to deny it, too.
- Will didn't cheat on me.

456
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,513
- Oh, okay, sorry.
- I can't talk about what happened,

457
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,114
but I can tell you that Will didn't cheat on me.

458
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,351
- I shouldn't have mentioned anything.
- Sloan, listen to me.

459
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,630
Will didn't cheat on me.

460
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,917
Yes, we were together
for two years and we broke up.

461
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,720
I can't tell you any more than that,
but he never, ever, never cheated on me.

462
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,519
- Who told you that?
- Everybody.

463
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,393
That's what people... No, no, no.

464
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,709
That's not what happened.

465
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,315
- You don't have to tell me what happened.
- I can't tell you what happened.

466
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,437
He doesn't want anyone in the office to know.
He made me promise.

467
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,474
No, not because...

468
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,640
I can't talk. Ugh!

469
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:28,757
Even though in this situation,
I think he'd prefer...

470
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,480
No, he really doesn't want
the office to know anything.

471
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,950
- He didn't cheat on me.
- I should get back to work.

472
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,918
You need to tell people that.

473
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,070
You're enabling an ass.

474
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,719
He's... Whoa.

475
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,913
He's not an ass.

476
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,675
Come here.

477
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,676
Will's not an ass. He's the opposite of an ass.

478
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,752
Even if he did cheat on me,
which he absolutely didn't,

479
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,115
he's definitely not an ass.

480
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:52,953
- Do people think that?
- You had to have known that.

481
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,032
I thought they thought he was gruff,
but lovable.

482
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,600
No, they think he's an ass
who cheated on you.

483
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,909
That has to be corrected.

484
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,992
- I have to start the 4:00.
- Okay, okay, okay.

485
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,715
You need to do this.

486
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,639
You need to go from person to person

487
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,360
and tell them that Will is an extraordinary man

488
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,159
with a heart the size of a Range Rover,

489
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,517
that there's a long story that has to do...

490
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,239
A lot to do with me, but also other things.

491
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,438
I can't tell you the story of his life,
but he's the good guy.

492
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,279
- Will you tell people that?
- Every chance I get.

493
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:21,033
- You're not going to, right?
- No, I'm not.

494
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,355
Okay.

495
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,999
We spiked up 9% overall.

496
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,231
On top of the 7%
that came after Northwestern.

497
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,515
You played high school football.

498
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,199
What do you do when you have
a lead late in the game?

499
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:31,760
My high school never had to worry about that.

500
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,274
- You protect the lead.
- Will McAvoy!

501
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,955
How do you get used to eating lunch
at 4:00 in the afternoon?

502
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,509
I work from 11:00 to 9:00.
It's across all demos, too.

503
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,479
Will McAvoy's the place to be
for all things BP.

504
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,553
Hey, I need you to tell me right now
you're not using that as a promo slug.

505
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,394
We're not, but Brad ground-researched
the hell out of this since Northwestern,

506
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,314
and the feedback we keep getting,
especially from 18 to 49s,

507
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:51,629
is just studded with green flags.

508
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,120
And this isn't Brad selective-coding, man.

509
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,159
We're talking about an actual, bona fide,
audience-driven response to Northwestern

510
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,560
and the way you handled the breaking news.

511
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,438
I don't see them
capping the well anytime soon.

512
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,318
- But you're not leading with it.
- Not tonight.

513
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,880
It'll be down in the D block.

514
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,030
It sunk this morning.

515
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:08,114
We got film of a massive offshore drilling rig
sinking into the Gulf of Mexico.

516
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,230
We knew that was gonna happen.

517
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,471
People knew the <i>Titanic</i> was gonna sink
when they went to the movie,

518
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,354
but it was cool to watch,
which is why they went to the movie.

519
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,150
Partner, something's going on here
and you gotta tell me what it is.

520
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,550
Look, we're trying to format a new broadcast

521
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,518
that puts a priority
on information voters need,

522
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,956
puts the information in context,
and then tries to present

523
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,032
the best possible versions
of competing arguments.

524
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,436
Here's what I just heard, "We got a hit show
that just got bigger,

525
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,000
"so now we're trying to fix it."

526
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,514
Listen, there's no one here but me and you.

527
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,512
Is this something you want
or something you got talked into?

528
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,193
It's... No, it's something I want badly.

529
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,000
- I've wanted this since the dawn of time.
- More than numbers?

530
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,595
Weren't you the one that told me
that your audience are your only friends?

531
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,990
I said that after a couple of shots
of some kind of varnish remover

532
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,514
at a particularly low point in my life.

533
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,034
- That was two weeks ago.
- It was a very low point.

534
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:48,554
- I think it was lower than three weeks ago.
- Will.

535
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,439
MacKenzie thinks I don't have
to sacrifice one for the other.

536
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,716
Well, MacKenzie is the expert
on predicting audience trends.

537
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:54,950
No, wait. She's not, Brad is.

538
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,833
- We're not setting out to lose viewers.
- No one ever does.

539
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,593
Just better news for the ones we've got.

540
00:22:58,680 --> 00:22:59,875
All right, I'll stop.

541
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,477
Listen, I still want your advice every day.

542
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,756
My advice today,
go to the conservative websites.

543
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,990
- I do.
- You'll see that they like you.

544
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,070
They think you're a RINO, but they like

545
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,879
that you don't take cheap shots
at Sarah Palin.

546
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,713
- Look at the comments section.
- Yeah, I know.

547
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,360
Palin made a statement
about the spill last night.

548
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:14,635
- It was ridiculous.
- Yes, it was.

549
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,074
It'll be a joke on every late-night show.

550
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,560
She basically wrote Letterman's monologue.

551
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:18,790
- So you want my advice?
- Yes.

552
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,519
Be the guy that doesn't
take a shot at her tonight.

553
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,034
Well, I won't be taking a shot at her,

554
00:23:22,120 --> 00:23:23,395
but that's because I won't be using her.

555
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,073
I'm saying you should use her,
but not to take a shot...

556
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,389
No, she's a private citizen.

557
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,312
She doesn't have
any qualifications in this area,

558
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,039
so it's hard with the new format to justify...

559
00:23:30,120 --> 00:23:31,873
Let me tell you what it looks like
when the audience leaves.

560
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,076
I can't jam in a Palin SOT

561
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,755
just to give myself the opportunity
to not take a shot at her.

562
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,797
If I cross that line, I'm just saying,
"Fuck the whole thing."

563
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,917
It looks like this, first you lose the people
who just got here.

564
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,117
Then everyone writes that you lost the people
that just got here.

565
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,078
That makes people think
they're not at the cool party anymore.

566
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,152
You ever been at Sardi's on opening night
of a Broadway show

567
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,596
five minutes after word gets out
the <i>Times</i> panned it?

568
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:49,796
They leave.

569
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,955
And they never come back, ever.

570
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,839
And it happens in not much more time
than it just took me to describe it.

571
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,471
It's conservatives who watch the news on TV.

572
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,120
Don't pass up an opportunity
to remind them why they don't hate you.

573
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,759
I really want to give the new format a...

574
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,354
Also, would you do me a favor
and tell Charlie Skinner

575
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,669
that you're the one
who asked for these meetings?

576
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,114
And do you want me
to fix you up with someone

577
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,192
who'll take your mind off
a girl from three years ago?

578
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,794
- No, thank you.
- Palin.

579
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,916
- She's married.
- Not to fix you up with.

580
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,356
- I'm saying use the Palin SOT.
- I know. It's not gonna happen.

581
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,636
- MacKenzie would cook me and eat me.
- You're the boss.

582
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,877
I'll keep reminding you of that
because I'm not wild about your ex.

583
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,919
Hey, look, her name is MacKenzie
or Ms. McHale,

584
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,676
and she's reported more real news in one day
than I have in my career.

585
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,870
Fuck.

586
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,072
- Hi.
- Hello.

587
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:52,793
Jan Brewer just bailed on us for tonight.

588
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,071
- What are you talking about?
- They canceled.

589
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,073
- She's going on CNN.
- Who's she sending instead?

590
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,834
Maggie, no one from the governor's office
is coming on the show.

591
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,149
What happened with the call?

592
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,276
- Oh, God.
- What happened?

593
00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:05,511
- This can't be because of the call.
- It happened on the call.

594
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,637
I swear, I kept my personal feelings to myself.

595
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,519
I was on the phone with Glenn Fisher,

596
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,269
and it was really just by the book.

597
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:13,999
Okay, so the pre-interview was going fine.

598
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,355
- Yeah.
- When all of a sudden...

599
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,238
Things happen, Jim, okay,

600
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,471
that are beyond your
super-newsman powers of understanding.

601
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,519
I wish you had told me
that you dated Glenn Fisher in college.

602
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,000
How could you possibly know that?

603
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,560
He told me,
which is what you should have done.

604
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,120
I know,
but I thought you'd take it away from me.

605
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,600
- I would have.
- And that's why I didn't tell you.

606
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,319
You have to tell me.
If you've had a relationship...

607
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,436
It wasn't a relationship.

608
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,670
- We went out four times.
- Maggie.

609
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,757
And now he's the press aide
to the governor of a state

610
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,718
that gave us Barry Goldwater
and a football team

611
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,314
that couldn't find the end zone
with an OnStar system.

612
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,073
- You're a football fan?
- No, I looked it up.

613
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,355
Also, the fourth date didn't count.

614
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,557
Is the fourth date relevant
to the pre-interview?

615
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,518
- It might be.
- What happened on the fourth date?

616
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,193
We went back to his dorm room,

617
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,112
- we started making out a little.
- Uh-huh.

618
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,873
And then there was
a crazy banging on the door.

619
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,917
It was his ex-girlfriend and she was shouting,

620
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,719
"I know you've got some slut in there!"

621
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:56,950
- I think she meant me.
- Yeah.

622
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,872
And Glenn said, "Get under the bed."

623
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,792
- Not the closet?
- No room in the closet. It's a dorm.

624
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,550
So I got under the bed
and he let his ex-girlfriend in,

625
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,518
and the two of them patched things up.

626
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,875
- With you under the bed.
- Yeah.

627
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,150
When you say they patched things up...

628
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,072
- Yeah.
- You're saying...

629
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,913
Oh, my God. They did it, Jim! Okay?

630
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,120
They settled their differences.

631
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,393
And it didn't take very long,
because as it turns out,

632
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,880
- Glenn doesn't take very long.
- Compared to who?

633
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Compared toother people

634
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,752
and what I've read about in the movies.

635
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,830
- It doesn't matter.
- Five minutes?

636
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,115
I didn't have a stopwatch on him,

637
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,920
but I know it was under two minutes
because I was holding my breath.

638
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,151
- Is this important?
- I don't know what's important yet.

639
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,959
That's why I'm listening to this story.

640
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,910
They finished, they left.

641
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,434
I waited a minute, and then I left.

642
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,590
Fast forward to the call.

643
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,273
He says, "The governor would also like to talk

644
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:42,955
"about Arizona doing well
on Obama's Race to the Finish initiative."

645
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:44,270
And you say to Glenn...

646
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,350
"How appropriate for you."

647
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:47,116
- Good one.
- Thank you.

648
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,953
You said you didn't inject
any of your personal opinions...

649
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,271
About the bill. I didn't inject
any personal opinions about the bill.

650
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:54,717
Okay, first of all, the initiative is called
Race to the Top, not Race to the Finish.

651
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,753
I know. That's why I was so sure
God was on my side,

652
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,160
because he teed me up so perfectly.

653
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,630
- And second, why didn't he...
- Why didn't he get her out of the room?

654
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,436
It was 2:00 in the morning.
What was he gonna say?

655
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,358
"Why don't we go
somewhere private and talk?"

656
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,954
They were in his dorm room. He was stuck.

657
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,838
- There were no options.
- You had an option.

658
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,513
You could have not hidden under the bed.

659
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,160
I made a quick decision.
It may have been the wrong one...

660
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,312
- "It may have been..."
- But once I made it, I had to commit to it.

661
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,959
And I will tell you something else.

662
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,794
He waited this long
to tell us he was bailing on purpose

663
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,678
so we'd get slammed
on getting a replacement.

664
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,831
- Do you think?
- Are you being sarcastic?

665
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,230
Because, yes,
I'm pretty sure he did this on purpose.

666
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,316
We've got less than 90 minutes
to find someone to defend SB 1070

667
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,993
and get them to a studio.

668
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,549
But after the show, a bunch of us
are going over to the Emerald City

669
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,960
to see the Wizard
and maybe he can give you some...

670
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,030
My brain is fine.

671
00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:41,600
You give me the SATs right now
and I'll take them.

672
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,552
Maybe he'll give you some courage
is what I was going to say.

673
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,115
Please!

674
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:49,954
Tell me what to do.

675
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:53,636
Grab some bookers, whoever's free,
and come into the conference room.

676
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,473
- This is an emergency now.
- We'll be right there.

677
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,596
- Maggie.
- Yeah.

678
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,751
I don't know anyone in the world

679
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,672
who would have hidden under the bed.

680
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,670
Martin, Tamara, Kendra, I need some help.

681
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,992
- What do you need?
- No, I can... It's no big deal.

682
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,799
I just need...

683
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,559
Kendra, Tamara, Martin!

684
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:17,998
- Everything all right?
- I can fix it.

685
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,189
Okay.

686
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:25,158
What?

687
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,516
- What the hell is going on?
- We lost Jan Brewer.

688
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,159
What? God!

689
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,790
Get someone else from Brewer's office.

690
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,917
- No, we've lost the whole office.
- What?

691
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:39,395
No one from Brewer's office
is gonna be coming.

692
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:40,516
What the hell happened?

693
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,956
- This is my fault.
- Look, I got into a stupid argument

694
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,269
with a press aide on the phone,

695
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,557
and now he's giving the governor's office
to everybody but us

696
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,155
- so he can stick it to me.
- Are you freaking kidding me?

697
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,880
- No, wait. Mac...
- No. That is what happened.

698
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,913
Day side's been running Jan Brewer promos
for the last six hours.

699
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,559
Who's replacing her?

700
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,359
Well, we're obviously late to the buffet,

701
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,274
so we basically had to book people
who were close to a satellite dish.

702
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,999
- Oh, boy.
- Dr. Dwayne Sotter.

703
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,197
He's an adjunct professor
at the University of Phoenix.

704
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,717
The University of Phoenix
is an online university. It's not in Arizona.

705
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,718
- But you can understand our mistake, right?
- No.

706
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,393
He's written several books
on immigration policy.

707
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,791
- Have I heard of any of them?
- They were self-published.

708
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,477
<i>This Land is My Land, Ambushed</i>

709
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,076
and <i>Don't Make Me Press One
for English in My Own Country.</i>

710
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,799
- That is quite a sacrifice.
- Tamara.

711
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,234
We've got a former Miss Oklahoma

712
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,596
who was second runner-up
in the Miss USA pageant this year.

713
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,000
She claims she was denied first runner-up

714
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,117
because of an answer she gave
regarding illegal immigration.

715
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,759
- Ah, the real victim.
- Martin.

716
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,240
Right, the third is Ross Fernholm,

717
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,118
- a former state patrolman who was part...
- Don't say it.

718
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,919
...of a border control group
called the "Citizens Militia."

719
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,676
Is this or isn't this the exact opposite
of who I asked you to book?

720
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,353
God damn it, Jim! What the hell were you...

721
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,669
- This is all...
- All gonna be fine.

722
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,910
Jim is taking the fall...

723
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,515
For exactly what I'm supposed
to take the fall for.

724
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,920
I don't know what the hell dance
you two are doing.

725
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,078
Don't book these guys. Scrap the segment.

726
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,197
They'll say we didn't have
anyone defending it.

727
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,280
Let's prep them the best we can
and have Will carry them, okay?

728
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,674
He'll just carry them.

729
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,713
- I'll go and tell him.
- I should be the one to tell him.

730
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,075
- Maggie...
- He's gonna fire somebody.

731
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,520
- God knows he should.
- He will.

732
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,716
He won't.

733
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:12,390
He won't.

734
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,560
Guys, he won't.

735
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,434
Hang on.

736
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,240
Dome of silence. I have to...

737
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,359
Are people here under the impression
that Will is an ass?

738
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,238
Okay, you're wrong.

739
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,319
You know, you're just wrong
and it's an injustice.

740
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,633
He's... He'd throw himself in front of a train
for anyone in this...

741
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,477
- Is Will in his office?
- He's at that thing uptown.

742
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,631
I'm sending him an e-mail because I...

743
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:52,000
I can't live with this stupid promise I made.

744
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:56,637
And, you know,
completely wrong information.

745
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,440
I'm nipping this thing in the bud right now.

746
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,671
And send.

747
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,674
Will is the best man I've ever...

748
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,959
- What just happened?
- I got a staff e-mail from you.

749
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,475
- Me, too.
- I sent the e-mail to Sloan, I mean Will.

750
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,557
Ah. Oh, my God, I sent it to Sloan.

751
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,393
I think the "S" in "Sloan" became "staff."

752
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,755
You used the asterisk.

753
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,639
No.

754
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:34,158
No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

755
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,709
Everybody listen! Listen to me right now.

756
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:41,716
- Oh, man.
- Oh!

757
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,396
That was unusual.

758
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,358
I want everyone to delete
the e-mail you just received.

759
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,909
Delete it right now without reading it.
Honor system.

760
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,391
And then I need someone
to sneak into Will's office

761
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,711
and delete the e-mail from his inbox.

762
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,632
If it's password-protected,

763
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,430
I need you to take a baseball bat and smash...

764
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,992
- You told me he was uptown.
- I guess he came back.

765
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,075
- We stood in my office...
- Will.

766
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,518
...this morning, and I said
under no circumstances

767
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,593
do I want anyone here
to know what happened.

768
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,878
And you said, "Yes," and, "Yes," again.

769
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,430
And it really...

770
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,513
It really seemed like you understood.

771
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,636
- And then you sent an e-mail...
- It was a complete...

772
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,873
- Explaining in some detail what happened.
- Please, please let me...

773
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,954
And then you copied 47 reporters on it.

774
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,156
Can we go into your office?

775
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,550
You know how sometimes
something happens in an instant

776
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,678
that's so astonishing you just shut down?

777
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:55,232
- Of course, that's...
- That doesn't fucking happen to me!

778
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,236
- We need some privacy.
- Really?

779
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,880
We're going to go into Will's office,

780
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,790
but I want everyone to delete the e-mail.

781
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,997
Mac, I think I just accidentally
forwarded it to corporate.

782
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,236
Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

783
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,471
- Why is this happening?
- I was sending an e-mail to you,

784
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:11,914
but accidentally sent it to Sloan Sabbith,

785
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,033
but I either did or didn't type the asterisk
and it went to staff instead of Sloan.

786
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:16,236
Why were you sending it at all?

787
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Because, and here's where I think
I'm on firmer ground,

788
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,116
she thought that you cheated on me

789
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,600
and that you were an ass,

790
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,071
which is not true. I'm changing minds, Will.

791
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:27,674
I'm changing minds all over the place.

792
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,240
- Get in there!
- Sure.

793
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,755
She thought you cheated on me
and she told me other people thought so, too.

794
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,590
I couldn't take that, but I do take 100%
of the responsibility for what just happened.

795
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,558
Who else would be responsible?

796
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,040
Arizona prison stats.

797
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,873
- Thank you.
- No one. I'm sorry.

798
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,599
- Don't mention it.
- That's...

799
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,192
I'm really impressed that
you're forgiving me so fast.

800
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,351
- I would have...
- No, what you heard was, "Don't mention it.

801
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:53,794
"It's no problem. Don't worry about it."

802
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,792
What I said was, "Don't mention it ever."

803
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,360
- Will...
- Ever, Mac!

804
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,193
- Hospital costs and health care.
- How current?

805
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,873
- Fiscal 2009.
- Thank you.

806
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,280
I understand.

807
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:04,589
One more thing.

808
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,998
We lost Jan Brewer and had to replace her

809
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,993
with a crazy professor at a website,
a member of the Citizens Militia,

810
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,470
and a former second runner-up
in the Miss USA pageant.

811
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,916
It's going to be fine. You'll carry them.
They'll barely have to speak.

812
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:19,755
Now you've shut down, right?

813
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,077
- Who fucked up?
- Now, you know I'm not going to tell you that.

814
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:26,389
Okay.

815
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,960
- 98%.
- What?

816
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,238
I take 98% of the responsibility, not 100%.

817
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:35,356
Is that right?

818
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:37,640
Listen.

819
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,439
You were in love from the day you met me,

820
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,354
and for two years, you were the man
of any woman's dreams, you know?

821
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,838
You'd have these ways of doing things.

822
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,634
It doesn't matter.

823
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,638
I didn't know that I was in love
with you too, until...

824
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,074
You cheated on me with your ex-boyfriend.

825
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,271
That's right! That's what happened.

826
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,159
I didn't know how I felt about you
until I was with him again.

827
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:05,835
So technically, I wasn't cheating
on the man I loved,

828
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,480
I was falling in love with the man I loved.

829
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:09,835
While cheating on him with your ex-boyfriend.

830
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,360
Yes!

831
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,552
But you're missing that technically
it wasn't cheating, though.

832
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,711
The more important thing is
that I fell in love with you.

833
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,719
At the end of a romantic comedy,
that would make everything okay!

834
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,110
There's something I've always
been dying to ask you.

835
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,475
Ask anything.

836
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,478
Why did you tell me?

837
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:26,959
Because I wouldn't have been able
to live with it.

838
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,360
Now I have to live with it.

839
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,310
- Would you rather I'd have been dishonest?
- Yes.

840
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,312
Yes, I'd very much rather

841
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,352
you hadn't told me.

842
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,833
Still, 98%.

843
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,633
I'm sorry, we have to do the final rundown.

844
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:52,074
We're coming.

845
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,472
The first runner-up wasn't available?

846
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,474
<i>Sixty seconds to V.T.R.</i>

847
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,473
Are we getting the opening in HD or SD?

848
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,399
<i>Where's it coming to me?
Which router?</i>

849
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,114
<i>Roll it in from the room.</i>

850
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,600
Tess.

851
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,038
There's an SOT I want in the D block.

852
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,033
Sarah Palin's comment on the White House
not returning calls from the Dutch,

853
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,839
except she calls Holland Norway.

854
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,513
Find it, give it to Jake.

855
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,398
- Don't run it past Mac.
- Yes, sir.

856
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,039
Did we go to Afghanistan
because you cheated on Will?

857
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,675
- Can I get a little privacy?
- Not until you learn how to send an e-mail.

858
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,195
- You got invaluable experience.
- I got shot in the ass.

859
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,272
Well, be grateful
you weren't facing the other direction.

860
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,119
<i>Thirty seconds out.</i>

861
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,120
I've been cheated on.

862
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,792
One time literally right on top of me.

863
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,520
This happened because of me.
No one should get fired.

864
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,957
I can resign, and it's fine
because Don wants me at 10:00.

865
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,799
I hope you don't do that.

866
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:52,993
I hope you stay here.

867
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,114
Good show.

868
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,638
Can you move
his BlackBerry off the desk?

869
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:00,632
- I can see it in the shot.
- Will.

870
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,431
Can you move your BlackBerry off the desk?

871
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,155
Oh!

872
00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:08,394
That wouldn't have happened
if he'd had one of those rubber protectors.

873
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,278
- Does 3 have to change lenses?
<i>- No, we're good.</i>

874
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,592
<i>In four, three, two. Roll V.T.R.</i>

875
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,879
<i>Good evening. I'm Will McAvoy.</i>

876
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,476
<i>Deepwater Horizon continues to spill oil
even as it sinks into the Gulf,</i>

877
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,512
<i>a Republican candidate for senate in Nevada</i>

878
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,956
<i>advocates poor people paying
doctors with chickens,</i>

879
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,078
<i>and Greece activates
a $45 billion aid package.</i>

880
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,033
<i>But we begin tonight in Arizona,</i>

881
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,875
<i>where Governor Jan Brewer today
signed into law SB 1070,</i>

882
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:45,958
which allows police to ask for documentation

883
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,760
from anyone suspected of being
in the country illegally.

884
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,672
<i>Our coverage begins with Rachel Sachs</i>

885
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,558
<i>at the statehouse in Phoenix. Rachel?</i>

886
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,154
I have no idea if the president even knows

887
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:58,312
that an entire Exxon Valdez
is spilling into the Gulf every four days.

888
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,516
Are you really not sure?

889
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,353
Because that would make you dumber
than previous estimates.

890
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:02,635
- Would the two of you shut up?
- Sorry.

891
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:03,790
I miss my BlackBerry.

892
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,555
<i>Joining us tonight from Washington
is Daniel Mendoza,</i>

893
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,876
<i>Deputy Director
of the National Council of La Raza,</i>

894
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,192
<i>the largest Hispanic civil rights organization
in the US.</i>

895
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,720
Good evening, Mr. Mendoza.

896
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,393
<i>Thanks for inviting me here
to speak to you, Will.</i>

897
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:16,756
Let's jump right in.

898
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,710
Estimates are that illegal immigrants
cost Arizonans $2.7 billion a year.

899
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,792
- Is that a problem worth fixing?
<i>- Of course it is.</i>

900
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,917
<i>But if it's an economic issue,
you need to consider</i>

901
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,635
<i>that deporting
12 million undocumented workers</i>

902
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:32,600
<i>will drain 2.5 trillion over the next 10 years
from our GDP.</i>

903
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,913
Arizona residents overwhelmingly
favor spending that money.

904
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,400
Back in two minutes.

905
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,239
- We don't have 1705.
- Joey.

906
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,756
<i>- Thirty seconds out.</i>
- All right,

907
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,991
we know this next segment's
going to be a problem.

908
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:52,150
Really?

909
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,960
Why do you automatically assume
that a hospitality management major

910
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,795
won't be able to speak with sophistication
about constitutional law?

911
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,910
Make sure everybody knows
this is what blowing it looks like.

912
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:03,230
They know.

913
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,030
<i>Twenty out.</i>

914
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,474
It's gonna be fine.

915
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,836
The PhD is cool with illegal immigrants

916
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,277
as long as they're checked for diseases
like smallpox and gayness.

917
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,592
I'm not sure I gave Will
the best form of the argument.

918
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:21,429
- Didn't we cure small...
- Yes.

919
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:22,956
Fifteen back.

920
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,878
Does the militia guy
really want his gun in the shot?

921
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,350
I asked him that and he said,
"This isn't a gun, it's a rifle.

922
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,319
"And this rifle has a name,
and her name is Jenny."

923
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,517
If you keep covering for people,
I don't know who can do what.

924
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,120
- I wasn't covering.
- You've got a crush on this girl.

925
00:39:34,240 --> 00:39:36,072
You told me to. And, no, I don't.

926
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,311
In three, two. Cue Will.

927
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,394
Welcome back. We're discussing
Arizona's immigration bill SB 1070,

928
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,711
<i>the Support Our Law Enforcement
and Safe Neighborhoods Act,</i>

929
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,554
which was signed into law today
by Governor Jan Brewer.

930
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Joining me now by satellite

931
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,117
<i>are three strong supporters of the new law,</i>

932
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,033
<i>Dr. Dwayne Sotter, an academic</i>

933
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,277
who's written extensively
about immigration policy,

934
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,636
Ross Fernholm,
a former Arizona State Patrolman,

935
00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,519
<i>who now runs the all-volunteer
Independence Border Guards in Yuma,</i>

936
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,275
<i>and Gwen Lalley,
a junior at the University of New Mexico</i>

937
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,995
<i>and the second runner-up in
last night's Miss USA pageant,</i>

938
00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,232
who was asked about this very issue onstage

939
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,471
and who believes her answer
was what kept her from winning.

940
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,829
<i>Thank you all for being here.</i>

941
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,996
<i>- Thank you.
- Thank you.</i>

942
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,480
<i>Will, I wanna be very clear,</i>

943
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:15,994
<i>my answer didn't keep me from winning,</i>

944
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:17,839
<i>it kept me from being first runner-up.</i>

945
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,798
- And we're off.
- Okay.

946
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,230
Dr. Sotter, this is your field of expertise,

947
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,470
<i>so let's kick it off with you.</i>

948
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,950
What do you say to those
who argue that SB 1070

949
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,556
is just targeting Americans on the basis
of skin color and nationality alone?

950
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,120
<i>Absolutely, Will.</i>

951
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,189
What would you say to them?

952
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,634
<i>I'd say absolutely.</i>

953
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,996
<i>The bill does not target religion or Muslims</i>

954
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,749
<i>or homosexuality, just illegal Mexicans.</i>

955
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,432
Well, yes, but you would also say, right,

956
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,796
that the state legislature has taken great pains

957
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,913
to ensure that it isn't a racial profiling law,

958
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,799
even going so far as to amend it
to include the following language.

959
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,950
Go 24.

960
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,440
<i>"Prosecutors would not investigate</i>

961
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,115
"complaints based on race, color
or national origin."

962
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:57,429
<i>That's right, just Mexicans.</i>

963
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,598
- Dr. Sotter...
<i>- Forgive me, Will. Latinos and Latinas.</i>

964
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,434
<i>And the argument that
we don't want to be a country</i>

965
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,354
that pulls people over and asks for
their papers based on how they look?

966
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,233
<i>Yeah, I don't like it any more than you do,</i>

967
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,116
<i>but that wouldn't be the case
if it weren't for the Latinos and Latinas,</i>

968
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,312
el "criminelos," los "ilegatos."

969
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,198
That's not Spanish.

970
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:20,876
<i>Gwen, let's go to you.</i>

971
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,599
You were asked last night
about the immigration law,

972
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,592
and you said it was an issue of states' rights.

973
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,034
<i>And for that I paid a price.</i>

974
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:29,234
That notwithstanding,
you raised an interesting issue.

975
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,349
This law will surely be challenged
in the courts on constitutional grounds.

976
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,394
<i>After all, states aren't allowed
to create their own foreign policy,</i>

977
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:38,756
<i>but it sounds like you've got
the right answer to that.</i>

978
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,830
<i>Which is...</i>

979
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,673
<i>I'm a survivor
and I don't know the word "quit."</i>

980
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,194
- Probably other words, too.
- Shut it.

981
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,117
States aren't allowed to create
their own foreign policy, but...

982
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,674
But this isn't about foreign policy,
it's about law enforcement.

983
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,478
Decades of federal inaction

984
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,792
have led to a dangerous
and unstable situation on Arizona's border.

985
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,317
And if the federal government can't
or won't act to uphold the law,

986
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,438
then it's up to the states
to exercise their power and fill that void.

987
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,910
<i>I'm an Ameri-can, Will, not an Ameri-can't.</i>

988
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:12,634
- Let's dump out of it.
- Ross.

989
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:14,120
<i>- Yes.</i>
- No, the whole thing, dump out of it.

990
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,350
I'm gonna go ahead and assume

991
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,352
<i>that you're a supporter
of Second Amendment rights,</i>

992
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,750
<i>judging by the rifle
you've placed in your live shot.</i>

993
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,876
<i>Yes, sir.</i>

994
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,236
A frequent argument you hear
from gun rights advocates

995
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:25,630
is that we don't need any more new laws,

996
00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:29,157
what we need is a government
to enforce the laws we already have.

997
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:31,596
Couldn't the same be said
about immigration policy?

998
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:32,796
<i>Yes, sir.</i>

999
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,918
I'm saying you're a supporter
of the new law, right?

1000
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,798
<i>- Yes, sir.</i>
- I can't take my eyes off of it.

1001
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,075
<i>Because?</i>

1002
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,079
Because laws that are unwieldy
and unenforceable aren't laws at all.

1003
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,480
<i>- I don't follow.</i>
- Dump out of it.

1004
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,119
<i>- And, Mr. McAdoo...</i>
- McAvoy.

1005
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,634
<i>- I beg your pardon?
- Doesn't matter.</i>

1006
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:52,552
<i>Why don't we just build a damn wall?</i>

1007
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,552
<i>The Chinese built one
and you can see it from space.</i>

1008
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,079
<i>- Are the Chinese better than us?</i>
- No.

1009
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,230
Although there's an old saying,

1010
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,040
"Show me a 15-foot wall
and I'll show you a 16-foot ladder."

1011
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,634
<i>Then let's just build a 17-foot wall.</i>

1012
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:05,315
<i>- Hell, build it 18 feet.
- Yes. Yep.</i>

1013
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,517
- But you see their point, right?
<i>- Whose point?</i>

1014
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,315
<i>The people who build ladders.</i>

1015
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,916
<i>- How about we get...</i>
- I'm sorry, okay?

1016
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,754
- I'm sorry. Just dump out of it.
<i>- Will, can I jump in?</i>

1017
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,593
- She cannot jump in.
- Jump on in, Gwen.

1018
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,273
<i>- I think we're creating an environment...</i>
- Ugh!

1019
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,317
<i>...where pageant contestants
are afraid to speak their minds</i>

1020
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,359
<i>when it comes to important
questions and whatnot,</i>

1021
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,233
<i>and that's not the America I grew up in.</i>

1022
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,551
You're 20 years old.
It is the America you grew up in.

1023
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,592
<i>- Not in Oklahoma.</i>
- Especially in Oklahoma.

1024
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,080
<i>But we're gonna have to leave it there.</i>

1025
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,676
<i>When we come back, Deepwater Horizon
sinks to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.</i>

1026
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,470
- I envy it.

1027
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,036
<i>With the White House
now getting offers of assistance</i>

1028
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,430
<i>from other countries
to help plug the gushing well.</i>

1029
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,716
What's this new SOT? What's 907?

1030
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,678
- Will gave it to me last minute.
- What is it?

1031
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,114
It's Sarah Palin on the spill.

1032
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,669
<i>Former Alaskan governor
and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin</i>

1033
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,592
weighed in earlier today on Fox News.

1034
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:55,080
Go 907.

1035
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,197
<i>Well, then, what the federal government
should have done</i>

1036
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,472
<i>was accept the assistance
of foreign countries,</i>

1037
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,598
<i>of entrepreneurial Americans
who have had solutions</i>

1038
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,194
<i>- that they wanted presented.
- Who?</i>

1039
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,920
<i>They can't even get
a phone call returned, Bill.</i>

1040
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,400
<i>The Dutch. They are known,</i>

1041
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,234
<i>in the Norwegian, they are known for dikes</i>

1042
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,994
<i>and for cleaning up water
and for dealing with spills.</i>

1043
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:17,549
<i>They offered to help, and yet, no, they, too,</i>

1044
00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:19,951
<i>with the proverbial can't even
get a phone call back.</i>

1045
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,480
<i>Okay, what she was saying was that...</i>

1046
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,110
All yours.

1047
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,193
Yes, okay, the Dutch live in Holland
and Norwegians live in Norway.

1048
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,397
That's a mistake that... People make that.

1049
00:44:30,720 --> 00:44:35,033
And I think Governor Palin was referring
to an old fairy tale about a boy.

1050
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,680
She was saying that people were offering
to help, and that's great,

1051
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,592
and phone calls will be returned.

1052
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:50,596
William Duncan McAvoy.

1053
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,949
I think your parents wanted to make it
plainly understood that you are Anglo-Saxon.

1054
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,590
I came up to personally
apologize for tonight's show.

1055
00:44:57,720 --> 00:44:59,120
The show kind of got away from you a little.

1056
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,600
It bordered on unprofessional.

1057
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,635
Here's unprofessional,
here's the border, and here's professional,

1058
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,638
and all the way back here is tonight's show.

1059
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,152
- It was my fault.
- Yeah.

1060
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,674
Did you know I got an e-mail
from MacKenzie today saying...

1061
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,036
God. Yeah. I forgot you were gonna see that.

1062
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:15,873
Know how many people
work at this company?

1063
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,156
Well, in the cable news division,
I guess about 350.

1064
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,038
178,000.

1065
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:24,036
Guys who sell jet engines got that e-mail.

1066
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,396
By the way, they also own a tabloid magazine.

1067
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,515
I'm inured to it, it happened.
How's gossip gonna be worse?

1068
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,435
It's been three years. Time hasn't helped?

1069
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,238
- No.
- I wish you had told me.

1070
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,915
What would you have said?

1071
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,992
- I'd have made you feel better.
- How?

1072
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,037
I don't know. I do it all the time.

1073
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,556
Get it together down there, fast.

1074
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,356
- Got it.
- One more thing.

1075
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,120
Your daily private meetings
with Reese are over.

1076
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,676
Charlie, I respect you more
than anyone I know,

1077
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,991
but I'm the one sitting in that chair.

1078
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,034
Yes, you are.

1079
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,234
<i>People across America are watching Arizona,</i>

1080
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,274
<i>seeing how we implement this law,</i>

1081
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,194
<i>ready to jump on even the slightest misstep.</i>

1082
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,034
<i>Many opponents
aren't even waiting for that.</i>

1083
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,600
You need a drink?

1084
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,310
Sure.

1085
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,234
There's a karaoke bar
down the street we go to.

1086
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,040
Drinks and appetizers are $3 until 9:00.

1087
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,030
It's 9:15.

1088
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,396
We sent an intern down at 8:55
to order 30 drinks

1089
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,995
and four platters of tuna jerky.

1090
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,311
The downside's the karaoke,

1091
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,357
but it's the only place nearby
that stays open late,

1092
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:53,193
unless you want to go to the theater district.

1093
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,840
I'd have thought the downside would be
the four platters of tuna jerky.

1094
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,720
It's an affordable dinner.

1095
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:02,992
Let's go.

1096
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,231
- Are you in or are you out?
- What?

1097
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,640
Are you in or are you out?

1098
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:18,756
Are we doing this, then?

1099
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,240
I don't understand.
Are you mad at me right now?

1100
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,198
Palin. How did Palin get into the rundown?

1101
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,353
First of all, I'm the EP. Don't slip...

1102
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,352
I'm the managing editor
and I don't need your permission...

1103
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,035
Yes, you do, and you didn't ask for it
'cause you knew you wouldn't get it.

1104
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:32,711
I made it clear that this show
isn't going to participate

1105
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,360
in the endless cycle
of co-dependency between Palin...

1106
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,033
- I know.
- And insult to injury.

1107
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,555
You twisted yourself into
a Windsor knot to save her.

1108
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,514
"I'm sure that
what the Governor meant was

1109
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,480
"that the Dutch living
in Norwegia have good ideas.

1110
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,233
"And since she has an intimate knowledge

1111
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,357
"of all calls going into
and out of the White House,

1112
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:54,877
"she's a credible source
on whether the Swedisians

1113
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,314
"have gotten their message returned."

1114
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,432
First of all, the impression, uncanny.

1115
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,876
I'm not the one who asked Victoria's Secret

1116
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,270
to do five minutes
of economic reporting every night.

1117
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,313
Victoria's Secret has
a PhD in economics from Duke

1118
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,073
and is an adjunct professor at Columbia.

1119
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,560
Are you in or are you out?

1120
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,359
I have to give you credit
for thinking you can chew me out

1121
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,796
- on this particular...
- I'll chew you out on any particular day.

1122
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,270
And by the way, when I say, "Dump out of it,"
dump out of it.

1123
00:48:17,240 --> 00:48:18,879
Reese got in your head.

1124
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,313
And so you put the almost-one-term governor
of a state where nobody lives on our air.

1125
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,835
- I'm don't believe I'm hearing...
- Yes, we fucked up

1126
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,398
on a huge subject, but ours was a mistake.

1127
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:30,880
Yours was fear,

1128
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,473
a need to be loved by strangers
and not our show.

1129
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,033
Be the leader, Will.

1130
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,677
Be the moral center of this show.

1131
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:44,159
Be the integrity.

1132
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:48,835
Today's Friday.

1133
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,834
By Monday, I want to know
are you in or are you out?

1134
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,872
Does anyone believe I just got...

1135
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:23,040
We want to be the ones to do it.

1136
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,190
We want to be the ones to do <i>2.0.</i>
We can do this.

1137
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,518
Give me a second.

1138
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,715
How you doing?

1139
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,310
I'm doing all right, all rings consisted...

1140
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,392
Considered.

1141
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,153
How much
have you had to drink?

1142
00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,913
I won't lie to you, Don.

1143
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:53,760
- Yes?
- What?

1144
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,440
You said, "I won't lie to you, Don,"
and then you didn't say anything else.

1145
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:57,670
- I've had a drink.
- A whole one?

1146
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,513
- Yeah.
- That's too much for you.

1147
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,676
It is not.

1148
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:02,680
Come to 10:00.

1149
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,478
I really appreciate your offer,

1150
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,634
but I think you're offering it
because I'm your girlfriend.

1151
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,314
What's wrong with that?

1152
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,434
Ah, oh...

1153
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,036
You're supposed to say, "No, I'm not."

1154
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,998
You're just inexperienced. I will coach you up.

1155
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,549
I want to be a part of what Will and MacKenzie
are trying to do.

1156
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,120
Will and MacKenzie are gonna fail.

1157
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,749
Jesus Christ, what's...

1158
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,117
Just because the scenery fell down
doesn't mean it's not a good play.

1159
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,950
Yeah, I don't know what that meant,
but I'm not talking about tonight.

1160
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,239
Nobody's gonna watch a classroom.

1161
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,597
They'll either be bored or infuriated,
and you will bleed viewers.

1162
00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:38,473
And my show with Elliot
will get moved to 8:00.

1163
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,472
And at that point, I don't know
that I'll be able to help you.

1164
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:42,594
It was your fault.

1165
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:43,716
Let's break up.

1166
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,871
- What did I do now?
- You were too supportive.

1167
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,152
- Maggie...
- I feel myself suffocating from your support.

1168
00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:50,720
You want truth or support?

1169
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,871
Did you think I didn't know I fucked up?

1170
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,679
I've been saying it.

1171
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,712
I have $45,000 in student loans to pay off,

1172
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,519
I spend three weeks' take-home

1173
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,069
on half a one-bedroom apartment
the size of a tool shed,

1174
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,800
and I'm sitting alone at a bar
with a drink that was made an hour ago.

1175
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,758
A good day is
when I have quarters for a dryer.

1176
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,071
A bad day is when I blow a newscast.

1177
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:11,560
That's my spectrum.

1178
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,598
Support is what I wanted right then.

1179
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,156
And I think you're rooting for Will to fail.

1180
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,513
You just said it would be
in your best interest...

1181
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:22,630
Listen...

1182
00:51:22,720 --> 00:51:24,837
And I know he's not
the cuddliest guy in the world,

1183
00:51:25,240 --> 00:51:27,311
but he is trying to do good,

1184
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,790
and he's risking a lot to do it,
and you and Reese...

1185
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,600
Yeah, yeah. Let's break up.

1186
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,599
Don't, no, don't go like this.

1187
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,195
I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing.

1188
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,715
Don...

1189
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,477
Oh, I'm on fire today.

1190
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,510
- Evening, Mr. McAvoy.
- Good evening, Manny.

1191
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,279
We know how to live with our neighbors here.

1192
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:53,430
What's that?

1193
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:54,556
Your show tonight.

1194
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:56,635
I...

1195
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:38,715
You have to do a shot.

1196
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:40,479
I really only drink when I'm scared.

1197
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,759
I would like to have a word with you
right here and right now.

1198
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:51,710
Yes, ma'am.

1199
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,759
Don't "Yes, ma'am" me
with your sheepish charm.

1200
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:56,752
Would you like
to go someplace private?

1201
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,559
I... You covered for me.

1202
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,711
- Don't worry about it.
- I wasn't thanking you.

1203
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,520
You and Don,
why do you think I need protecting?

1204
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,717
You both like the fantasy of a girl in distress?

1205
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,235
- How about I put you in a cab?
- I take the subway.

1206
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,676
- Why do you think I need...
- I don't.

1207
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,638
But I cover for you, Mac covers for me,

1208
00:53:12,720 --> 00:53:14,598
Will covers for everybody,
Charlie covers for Will.

1209
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,239
How come nobody's yelling at me?

1210
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,153
- You know how bad you screwed up, right?
- Yes.

1211
00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:19,390
Is there anyone who feels worse than you do?

1212
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:20,470
No.

1213
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:21,676
Then I doubt it'll ever happen again.

1214
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:25,475
Let me give you money for a cab.

1215
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,473
No, I have to go to Don's apartment
and apologize.

1216
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,437
- For what?
- For suggesting he would...

1217
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,120
You know, for asking...

1218
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:36,914
I'll think of it on the way.

1219
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,120
We break up, I apologize, everything's fine.

1220
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,079
Sounds like a super-healthy relationship.

1221
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,072
- I'd fight for it.
- I will fight for it.

1222
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,869
And I'll make it work
through sheer force of will,

1223
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:48,952
just like MacKenzie will with Will,

1224
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,430
and just like I made
the immigration segment work.

1225
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,716
Will and MacKenzie
are going to kill each other,

1226
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,519
and the immigration segment
was a train wreck.

1227
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,990
You should shut up more than you do.
Do people tell you that?

1228
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:00,356
No.

1229
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:02,155
You're being polite.

1230
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:07,229
I still don't know why I'm being mean to you.

1231
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,709
Tess?

1232
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,157
- Would you?
- Yeah.

1233
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,880
- Sorry.
- Hang on, all of you.

1234
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:22,955
I'm your senior producer.

1235
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,760
Fuck up again like this, I'm gonna get mad.

1236
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,517
That's it. Take her to Don's place.

1237
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,554
- That was so awesome.
- Thank you.

1238
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,074
- Do a shot.
- No.

1239
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:50,840
- Hello?
<i>- Neal, it's Will.</i>

1240
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,560
- I hope you don't mind my calling so late.
<i>- No.</i>

1241
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,994
I got your number from,
you know, there's a booklet.

1242
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:58,958
<i>- The office directory.</i>
- Yeah.

1243
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,474
The guy you found in Spokane,

1244
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:01,835
I want you to get in touch with him

1245
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,479
<i>and tell him that you're gonna pay for a cab</i>

1246
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:04,835
to take him to and from work.

1247
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,116
He should send you the receipts,
then give them to me.

1248
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:09,476
Will...

1249
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:11,560
Come on, let me post this on your blog.

1250
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:13,200
- No.
<i>- Will...</i>

1251
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,795
- Keep my name out of it.
- Yes, sir.

1252
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:17,750
Is MacKenzie around there?

1253
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:20,435
Yeah.

1254
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,557
- Can you put her on the phone?
- Sure.

1255
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:30,240
It's Will.

1256
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,229
I'm sorry about everything.

1257
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,711
<i>I'm just so sorry.</i>

1258
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:43,599
<i>- There's no way I can even...</i>
- I'm in.

1259
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,915
- What?
- I'm in. I'll see you on Monday.

1260
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,594
- Are you still gonna worry about the ratings?
- Yes.

1261
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,434
<i>- Still gonna worry about being popular?</i>
- Yeah.

1262
00:55:56,520 --> 00:55:58,000
About being loved by strangers?

1263
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,754
Are you gonna keep asking me questions
that all mean the same thing?

1264
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:02,793
Till I get the right answer.

1265
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:05,270
I'm in.

1266
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:08,789
There it is.
