1
00:00:00,317 --> 00:00:02,736
Our elections are
the envy of the world.
2
00:00:02,746 --> 00:00:06,844
It's critically important that we
not make any mistakes tonight.
3
00:00:06,862 --> 00:00:08,283
We made a small mistake.
4
00:00:08,306 --> 00:00:10,514
We called Michigan
when we meant Mississippi.
5
00:00:10,538 --> 00:00:11,735
You have to retract it.
6
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:13,861
I wonder if maybe
it's not necessary to retract it.
7
00:00:13,885 --> 00:00:16,631
I didn't realize that you were
president of the Oxford Union.
8
00:00:16,664 --> 00:00:18,831
Cambridge. I was president
of the Cambridge Union.
9
00:00:18,864 --> 00:00:20,863
I need you to change
my Wikipedia page.
10
00:00:20,903 --> 00:00:24,167
It's funny the things people try to control
when they feel like they're not in control.
11
00:00:24,207 --> 00:00:27,036
You're going to be a named
defendant by Jerry Dantana.
12
00:00:27,069 --> 00:00:30,263
- He's suing me for giving him a bad job recommendation?
- It's just strategy.
13
00:00:30,303 --> 00:00:32,120
- Say what you want to say to me.
- What?
14
00:00:32,154 --> 00:00:34,584
Fire me.
You're the only one who can do it.
15
00:00:34,617 --> 00:00:36,380
I think your resignations
should be accepted immediately.
16
00:00:36,413 --> 00:00:38,346
- Then why don't you?
- My mom says I can't.
17
00:00:38,385 --> 00:00:41,058
You have to keep trying.
Tomorrow's too late.
18
00:00:41,091 --> 00:00:45,095
You think I'm not firing you because
it would make me look bad?
19
00:00:45,129 --> 00:00:47,035
Give me a break, Billy.
It's not like you're indifferent.
20
00:00:47,067 --> 00:00:48,615
You're fired,
end of the broadcast.
21
00:00:48,648 --> 00:00:50,470
Please don't tell anyone.
22
00:01:54,962 --> 00:01:58,343

23
00:02:03,202 --> 00:02:05,002
We're just past 9:00 P.M. in the East
24
00:02:05,035 --> 00:02:07,069
and we have another round
of projections.
25
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:09,880
ACN is able to project
Mitt Romney will win
26
00:02:09,913 --> 00:02:13,050
the great state of Kansas
and its six electoral votes.
27
00:02:13,083 --> 00:02:15,024
Moving south to Louisiana,
we project...
28
00:02:15,057 --> 00:02:17,136
I'm here.
29
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:20,214
I want to make sure
there's absolutely no confusion.
30
00:02:20,247 --> 00:02:22,818
You would go on the record.
We would use your name.
31
00:02:25,557 --> 00:02:27,093
I want more.
I want a quote.
32
00:02:27,126 --> 00:02:28,526
I'm gonna handcuff you
to this thing.
33
00:02:28,559 --> 00:02:30,970
Did he just say,
"A big prize but no surprise"?
34
00:02:31,003 --> 00:02:32,575
Yeah.
35
00:02:32,608 --> 00:02:34,685
He'll be kicking
himself for that.
36
00:02:34,718 --> 00:02:36,520
All right, well,
we've got a decision to make here
37
00:02:36,553 --> 00:02:38,353
and I'll give you
a heads up either way.
38
00:02:38,394 --> 00:02:40,962
Thank you
and good luck tonight.
39
00:02:40,995 --> 00:02:42,997
It's as confirmed
as anything has ever been.
40
00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:45,072
Two GOP congressmen
we can quote and identify,
41
00:02:45,105 --> 00:02:48,747
two senior DOJ sources we can identify
as two senior DOJ sources.
42
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:49,877
- You wanted me?
- Yeah.
43
00:02:49,918 --> 00:02:51,554
- All right, I can explain.
- Nope.
44
00:02:51,587 --> 00:02:52,924
- Oh.
- Explain what?
45
00:02:52,957 --> 00:02:54,665
Doesn't matter.
46
00:02:54,698 --> 00:02:57,569
Here's what's happening.
Brody in California
47
00:02:57,602 --> 00:03:00,403
made a statement this morning
when the polls opened condemning Todd Akin.
48
00:03:00,436 --> 00:03:01,804
It's a tight race.
49
00:03:01,838 --> 00:03:04,016
We figure he saw
internal numbers suggesting
50
00:03:04,049 --> 00:03:06,422
he needed a bigger cushion
with women 18-55.
51
00:03:06,455 --> 00:03:09,422
So he went on a local morning show
and slid in a condemnation of Akin,
52
00:03:09,455 --> 00:03:12,633
but two hours ago,
Maggie found a Brody quote
53
00:03:12,666 --> 00:03:15,839
in a Students for America
publication from 1990.
54
00:03:15,872 --> 00:03:17,644
"It's a sad fact,
but women cry rape
55
00:03:17,677 --> 00:03:20,980
to avoid embarrassment, to exact revenge,
or just to draw attention.
56
00:03:21,021 --> 00:03:23,389
If we have rape exceptions
to abortion laws,
57
00:03:23,422 --> 00:03:26,160
women could now cry rape
to terminate an innocent life.
58
00:03:26,193 --> 00:03:28,333
We should be able to look
past the mendacity.
59
00:03:28,366 --> 00:03:30,734
Children are conceived by love,
not by rape."
60
00:03:30,767 --> 00:03:32,975
- How did you find that?
- Prayer and clean living.
61
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,874
- Seriously, how did you find that?
- It's my job.
62
00:03:34,915 --> 00:03:36,211
It's my job, too,
but I didn't find that.
63
00:03:36,244 --> 00:03:37,855
- No, you didn't.
- Knock it off.
64
00:03:37,888 --> 00:03:40,888
So, Don calls Brody's chief of staff
to get a comment.
65
00:03:40,921 --> 00:03:42,793
- John Webb.
- And Webb says...
66
00:03:42,826 --> 00:03:44,898
Given a little time,
he might be able to feed us a better story
67
00:03:44,963 --> 00:03:46,902
in exchange for holding the SFA quote
till after the election.
68
00:03:46,935 --> 00:03:48,071
What's the better story?
69
00:03:48,104 --> 00:03:51,175
David Petraeus is going
to resign on Thursday.
70
00:03:51,208 --> 00:03:54,009
He's been having an affair
with a lieutenant colonel in the Reserves.
71
00:03:54,050 --> 00:03:57,286
So the question is
which story do we run?
72
00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:59,654
- 'Cause it's one or the other.
- It's not even a contest.
73
00:03:59,687 --> 00:04:01,821
- Brody.
- Petraeus. Wait.
74
00:04:01,862 --> 00:04:03,862
It's 6:00 in the West.
The polls are still open.
75
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:05,328
People are coming home
from work.
76
00:04:05,362 --> 00:04:07,667
Almost 40% of the votes
in Brody's district
77
00:04:07,772 --> 00:04:09,036
are cast between
5:00 and 8:00.
78
00:04:09,069 --> 00:04:10,708
I know,
and I fully appreciate that.
79
00:04:10,741 --> 00:04:12,540
- But this is a special circumstance.
- No, it's not.
80
00:04:12,573 --> 00:04:13,845
Let me make my case.
81
00:04:13,878 --> 00:04:16,449
We're under siege.
If we break this Petraeus story
82
00:04:16,482 --> 00:04:19,557
two days before everyone else, we'll one:
Distract from our own problems,
83
00:04:19,590 --> 00:04:22,127
and two: Earn us back some
credibility and goodwill.
84
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:24,198
Does the Petraeus story
provide any information
85
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:26,631
the voters should have
before they punch a ballot?
86
00:04:26,664 --> 00:04:28,368
It does not.
87
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:29,936
Does it do anyone any good
88
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:33,212
if we report the Brody quote
tomorrow instead of tonight?
89
00:04:33,245 --> 00:04:34,778
It would help Brody out.
90
00:04:34,811 --> 00:04:37,206
Call your guy back and tell him thanks,
but no, thanks.
91
00:04:37,247 --> 00:04:41,349
We'll report that Petraeus is resigning
when Petraeus resigns, right?
92
00:04:41,382 --> 00:04:43,213
- Yeah.
- Don?
93
00:04:43,246 --> 00:04:45,488
I'm agreeing.
Do I have to be happy about it?
94
00:04:45,521 --> 00:04:47,120
Put the Brody package
together for me to approve.
95
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:49,357
I want to get it
on the air in 15 minutes.
96
00:04:57,094 --> 00:05:00,826
- Everything all right?
- Hmm? Yeah.
97
00:05:02,667 --> 00:05:04,970
Here's how things
are looking right now
98
00:05:05,003 --> 00:05:06,739
just after
the 9:00 P.M. closings.
99
00:05:06,772 --> 00:05:09,806
Governor Romney is ahead
with 152 electoral votes
100
00:05:09,847 --> 00:05:11,645
to the president's 123.
101
00:05:11,678 --> 00:05:14,412
No projections right now in Arizona,
New Mexico...
102
00:05:14,445 --> 00:05:17,347
They've run out of ballots
in Racine, Wisconsin.
103
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:19,819
Elliot's got it
and then throw to DC.
104
00:05:19,852 --> 00:05:22,589
Elliot, right now President Obama
has a lead in Wisconsin,
105
00:05:22,622 --> 00:05:24,989
but we're hearing
there are voting problems.
106
00:05:25,022 --> 00:05:27,261
Yeah, they've run out of ballots
in Racine, Wisconsin.
107
00:05:27,294 --> 00:05:29,398
They've got to get some sort
of last-minute ballot supply.
108
00:05:29,431 --> 00:05:31,969
Taylor Warren, is that a good sign
for the president in Wisconsin?
109
00:05:32,002 --> 00:05:35,475
It's a very good sign. Racine,
the whole Rust Belt area of the state
110
00:05:35,508 --> 00:05:37,338
is a very big sweet spot
for the president.
111
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:40,178
Coming to you, Jane.
Start us off with Colorado.
112
00:05:40,211 --> 00:05:41,844
We're gonna start with Florida.
113
00:05:42,885 --> 00:05:44,284
Take Jane to Florida.
114
00:05:44,317 --> 00:05:47,221
Let's bring in Jane Barrow
and our panel in DC.
115
00:05:47,254 --> 00:05:49,789
Jane, what are you guys
seeing in Florida?
116
00:05:49,822 --> 00:05:52,996
There's an interesting dynamic
in that battleground state right now
117
00:05:53,029 --> 00:05:54,827
and I'd like to go
to our panel.
118
00:05:54,860 --> 00:05:56,393
All right, New York's
on an eight-minute break.
119
00:05:56,426 --> 00:05:58,727
- Don't anyone go too far.
- And clear.
120
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,695
Okay, whew.
121
00:06:00,728 --> 00:06:02,599
All right, turn out, turn out.
122
00:06:02,633 --> 00:06:05,539
- The ground game.
- You talking to me?
123
00:06:06,067 --> 00:06:08,475
I wasn't really
talking to anyone.
124
00:06:08,508 --> 00:06:10,645
I think you just described
the rest of my life.
125
00:06:12,614 --> 00:06:14,579
How are you doing?
126
00:06:14,612 --> 00:06:17,617
A group called Stand By Our Troops
submitted a petition
127
00:06:17,650 --> 00:06:20,647
to AWM demanding
Charlie and I be fired.
128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,015
They got 20,000 signatures.
129
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:24,954
- Six and a half times the size of my hometown.
- I saw.
130
00:06:24,987 --> 00:06:27,889
Another group
called Concerned Citizens for Truth
131
00:06:27,923 --> 00:06:30,095
got 50,000 signatures.
132
00:06:30,128 --> 00:06:32,724
We hired a polling firm
to gauge trust.
133
00:06:32,757 --> 00:06:34,395
- And?
- Nobody trusts us.
134
00:06:34,428 --> 00:06:37,995
Men, women, over 49, under 49,
Republicans, Democrats--
135
00:06:38,028 --> 00:06:40,563
our lack of credibility
is immune to demographics.
136
00:06:40,596 --> 00:06:43,170
The op-eds won't stop.
They're getting worse.
137
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:47,032
And I'm concerned this is finally
what's going to kill Charlie Skinner.
138
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:49,838
Schadenfreude's been made
very convenient.
139
00:06:49,871 --> 00:06:51,730
Hmm. Yeah.
140
00:06:53,498 --> 00:06:56,571
You know,
I hate to seem like I'm circling,
141
00:06:56,604 --> 00:06:58,876
but I'm setting up
a media consulting firm
142
00:06:58,909 --> 00:07:01,613
and I wanted to get your blessing
to approach Jim Harper.
143
00:07:01,646 --> 00:07:04,649
- About what?
- About joining the firm.
144
00:07:04,682 --> 00:07:07,986
He hates me, but if I only worked
with people who liked me,
145
00:07:08,019 --> 00:07:10,421
I'd have to make
my dog Howard a partner.
146
00:07:10,454 --> 00:07:11,989
I'm lost.
147
00:07:12,022 --> 00:07:15,553
There's gonna be a land rush
as soon as you guys announce.
148
00:07:15,594 --> 00:07:17,458
There's a lot of talent here.
149
00:07:17,491 --> 00:07:20,363
Jim just renewed his contract
a few months ago.
150
00:07:20,396 --> 00:07:22,897
It's in the air supply
around here
151
00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:25,934
that senior staff
is resigning over Genoa.
152
00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:28,231
Charlie is resigning
and I'm resigning.
153
00:07:28,272 --> 00:07:29,601
But as of 1:35
this morning,
154
00:07:29,642 --> 00:07:32,410
Leona Lansing won't even
accept our resignations.
155
00:07:32,443 --> 00:07:34,575
Where did you hear
senior staff was resigning?
156
00:07:34,608 --> 00:07:37,140
- Maybe I shouldn't say.
- Where did you hear that?
157
00:07:38,445 --> 00:07:40,244
From the senior staff.
158
00:07:45,285 --> 00:07:47,316
I make friends everywhere I go.
159
00:07:49,117 --> 00:07:51,686
I want the senior staff
in the studio right now.
160
00:07:51,727 --> 00:07:53,991
- We have seven minutes back.
- Right now.
161
00:07:56,437 --> 00:07:59,662
The mood here is still upbeat.
They like the internal exits they're seeing.
162
00:07:59,695 --> 00:08:03,105
They're not troubled that Obama isn't losing
in a single state he needs to win?
163
00:08:03,138 --> 00:08:05,906
- They like what they're seeing in Ohio and Florida.
- What are they seeing?
164
00:08:05,939 --> 00:08:08,113
Honey, I'm starting to get
funny looks from people here.
165
00:08:08,146 --> 00:08:10,945
- They know I'm Skyping with ACN.
- You're Skyping with me.
166
00:08:10,978 --> 00:08:12,713
No one can see or hear us.
167
00:08:12,746 --> 00:08:14,344
- Hey, Hallie!
- Hey, Maggie.
168
00:08:14,385 --> 00:08:16,551
Will wants senior staff
in the studio.
169
00:08:16,584 --> 00:08:18,612
I'll be right there.
170
00:08:18,645 --> 00:08:21,748
It's mostly the bloggers who
don't want me helping out old media.
171
00:08:21,789 --> 00:08:24,454
You know, why don't you tell
new media that old media
172
00:08:24,487 --> 00:08:26,623
has got a combined audience
of about 80 million tonight?
173
00:08:26,664 --> 00:08:29,458
I will, but new media will
probably respond by saying
174
00:08:29,491 --> 00:08:31,592
that the report you just gave
about Racine, Wisconsin,
175
00:08:31,625 --> 00:08:33,056
running out of ballots
came off Twitter.
176
00:08:33,097 --> 00:08:35,667
Then you should reply
by telling new media to bite me
177
00:08:35,700 --> 00:08:37,165
and my accountability
and professionalism.
178
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:39,133
Can you get someone
else to do this?
179
00:08:39,174 --> 00:08:42,003
By the way, a little while ago
we called the Michigan first for Dan Benishek.
180
00:08:42,036 --> 00:08:44,769
If you were thinking of
posting something about it, I'd hold off.
181
00:08:44,802 --> 00:08:46,810
- Why?
- I accidentally called the wrong race.
182
00:08:46,843 --> 00:08:48,674
- I meant Mississippi.
- You didn't retract it?
183
00:08:48,707 --> 00:08:51,209
Our decision desk
is 100% confident he's going to win.
184
00:08:51,242 --> 00:08:53,314
- Then why can't you call it?
- They're not confident enough.
185
00:08:53,347 --> 00:08:54,586
You should really retract it.
186
00:08:54,619 --> 00:08:56,080
If you were us tonight,
would you retract something
187
00:08:56,113 --> 00:08:57,847
you didn't absolutely have to?
188
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,183
- No.
- I'm going all in on Benishek.
189
00:09:00,216 --> 00:09:01,885
- Hang on.
- They're waiting for me in the studio.
190
00:09:01,982 --> 00:09:03,820
I think she cut her own hair.
191
00:09:05,852 --> 00:09:07,218
Tonight's really
not the night--
192
00:09:07,251 --> 00:09:10,125
Cutting off your own hair--
That's alarming.
193
00:09:13,397 --> 00:09:15,228
Any chance this can wait?
194
00:09:15,261 --> 00:09:16,963
- No.
- Jim's on his way.
195
00:09:16,996 --> 00:09:18,763
I'd like to announce
something in the meantime.
196
00:09:18,804 --> 00:09:22,374
I was supposed to donate a signed copy
of my book for the Sandy auction
197
00:09:22,407 --> 00:09:25,711
and I went to see my parents last weekend
and forgot to leave the book.
198
00:09:25,744 --> 00:09:28,511
Gary, meaning well,
signed a copy of the book
199
00:09:28,552 --> 00:09:30,382
forging my signature
and writing the inscription.
200
00:09:30,415 --> 00:09:31,982
- In German.
- Almost.
201
00:09:32,015 --> 00:09:34,181
In German the words for enjoy
and shred are a lot alike.
202
00:09:34,222 --> 00:09:35,719
They're nothing alike,
but that's not the point.
203
00:09:35,752 --> 00:09:37,655
Take your time getting to the point,
because as you can see,
204
00:09:37,688 --> 00:09:39,925
- nothing else is happening right now.
- We've got five minutes.
205
00:09:39,958 --> 00:09:42,787
We do not have five minutes.
The producers don't have five minutes.
206
00:09:42,828 --> 00:09:45,397
My point is that someone
bought the book for a lot of money
207
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:47,933
and Neal's dropping everything
to help me find out who it was
208
00:09:47,966 --> 00:09:51,435
so that I can give him or her
a real signed copy of the book.
209
00:09:51,468 --> 00:09:54,338
So if there's anyone
who was at the fund-raiser
210
00:09:54,371 --> 00:09:56,771
- or maybe knows the person who--
- Excuse me.
211
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,771
You're dropping everything?
212
00:09:58,804 --> 00:10:01,810
No, I'm still very much doing my job.
Except for right now.
213
00:10:01,843 --> 00:10:04,209
And when I'm trying to fix
your Wikipedia page.
214
00:10:04,242 --> 00:10:06,449
Oh, forget that.
Drop it, it's stupid.
215
00:10:06,482 --> 00:10:08,649
- Everybody's here?
- Yes.
216
00:10:08,682 --> 00:10:11,613
Let's go around the room and everybody
tell something about themselves.
217
00:10:11,646 --> 00:10:13,612
- Do you need to go back to the control room?
- Yes.
218
00:10:13,653 --> 00:10:15,653
Go.
219
00:10:16,822 --> 00:10:19,023
- Fix the page. Get it fixed.
- Copy.
220
00:10:19,056 --> 00:10:21,897
I don't know what the hell you guys
are thinking about doing,
221
00:10:21,930 --> 00:10:23,495
but you're not doing it.
222
00:10:23,528 --> 00:10:26,030
Last night, Charlie, Mac, and I
223
00:10:26,063 --> 00:10:27,768
offered our resignations
to Mrs. Lansing.
224
00:10:27,801 --> 00:10:31,535
She refused to accept them,
believing that the right thing to do was to stand by us.
225
00:10:31,568 --> 00:10:34,976
Charlie is working hard on Reese
to get him to change his mother's mind.
226
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:37,681
The reason, whole reason,
we're trying to resign
227
00:10:37,714 --> 00:10:40,178
is to allow the rest of you
to continue
228
00:10:40,219 --> 00:10:42,987
to do what we started
without the burden of Genoa.
229
00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:45,851
Elliot would take my job.
Don would take Mac's.
230
00:10:45,892 --> 00:10:48,357
Sloan would anchor 10:00
and Jim would be her EP.
231
00:10:48,390 --> 00:10:50,198
So I don't want to hear
any more rumors
232
00:10:50,231 --> 00:10:52,493
about the rest
of you resigning.
233
00:10:52,534 --> 00:10:54,061
- Is that clear?
- No.
234
00:10:54,101 --> 00:10:55,827
- It's not clear?
- No, it's clear.
235
00:10:55,868 --> 00:10:58,162
- We're saying no.
- No to what?
236
00:10:58,203 --> 00:11:00,632
If Leona accepts your resignations,
we're resigning, too.
237
00:11:00,665 --> 00:11:02,306
Everyone who was
involved with Genoa.
238
00:11:02,339 --> 00:11:04,202
I'm not going accept
your resignations.
239
00:11:04,243 --> 00:11:07,176
Due respect, but if Leona accepts yours,
you're not going to be in a position--
240
00:11:07,209 --> 00:11:09,574
We gave you a bad story.
It's our responsibility.
241
00:11:09,607 --> 00:11:12,339
There are principles of...
principle here
242
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:14,243
and character
and responsibility.
243
00:11:14,276 --> 00:11:15,842
Who put all this in your head?
244
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,642
- You did.
- Now can we go back to work?
245
00:11:23,588 --> 00:11:25,586
You expect me to get choked up?
246
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:27,050
Meeting's over.
Two minutes back.
247
00:11:38,727 --> 00:11:40,726
I think you insulted them a little
by not assuming
248
00:11:40,767 --> 00:11:42,734
they'd stand behind you
and Charlie and Mac.
249
00:11:42,767 --> 00:11:43,966
Why do you think that?
250
00:11:43,999 --> 00:11:45,901
Because you
insulted me a little.
251
00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:51,600
- Charlie. Hi.
- Oh, hi.
252
00:11:51,633 --> 00:11:54,272
- Excuse me.
- Oh, Charlie.
253
00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:56,537
Charlie,
a woman in Mesa, Arizona,
254
00:11:56,578 --> 00:11:59,681
ran over her husband with their car
because he didn't vote for Romney.
255
00:11:59,714 --> 00:12:01,944
- Can I have a moment?
- Did you hear what I just said?
256
00:12:01,977 --> 00:12:03,581
- No.
- He's in the hospital.
257
00:12:03,614 --> 00:12:06,412
They were in a parking lot.
She was chasing him around a light pole.
258
00:12:06,446 --> 00:12:10,021
He tried to make a run for it
and she pinned him at the curb.
259
00:12:10,054 --> 00:12:12,621
Here's what I find
strange about this.
260
00:12:12,654 --> 00:12:16,622
First of all,
it's not like the husband voted for Obama.
261
00:12:16,663 --> 00:12:18,990
He just didn't vote for Romney.
He didn't vote.
262
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:21,093
And second,
isn't Romney gonna win the vote
263
00:12:21,126 --> 00:12:22,829
in Arizona by like 200% anyway?
264
00:12:22,862 --> 00:12:25,069
Yeah, but you don't think
the strange part
265
00:12:25,102 --> 00:12:28,204
is the wife driving over
her husband with a car?
266
00:12:28,237 --> 00:12:29,500
Well, she's pregnant.
267
00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:32,401
- Where are you getting this from?
- Twitter.
268
00:12:32,434 --> 00:12:35,103
All right,
can I have just a second?
269
00:12:35,136 --> 00:12:36,805
Sure.
270
00:12:36,838 --> 00:12:40,340
A decision has to be made
before the court clerk's office
271
00:12:40,373 --> 00:12:42,443
opens at 9:00 tomorrow.
272
00:12:42,476 --> 00:12:45,010
I appreciate everything
you said last night.
273
00:12:45,043 --> 00:12:47,844
- I was high last night.
- I know. You told us.
274
00:12:47,877 --> 00:12:49,179
But then I got
a good night's sleep
275
00:12:49,212 --> 00:12:51,378
and an early morning swim
and a full day's work.
276
00:12:51,419 --> 00:12:54,081
And then I changed and came here
and got high again.
277
00:12:54,114 --> 00:12:55,682
- God damn it.
- It's marketing.
278
00:12:55,723 --> 00:12:57,219
They got a stash.
279
00:12:57,252 --> 00:12:58,661
I mean, I don't know
how they do it.
280
00:12:58,694 --> 00:13:00,190
I think they grow their own
281
00:13:00,231 --> 00:13:02,461
in, like, the Galapagos
Islands or something.
282
00:13:02,494 --> 00:13:05,361
And I want to get
the Allman Brothers back together.
283
00:13:05,395 --> 00:13:08,800
Rebecca says that it's your intention
to sue us if we resign.
284
00:13:08,833 --> 00:13:11,233
For breach of contract, yes.
Hey, you want some champagne?
285
00:13:11,266 --> 00:13:15,002
No. For two months, there's been a mob
shouting for our resignations.
286
00:13:15,043 --> 00:13:17,472
- And the mob is right.
- Are you sure they're not just loud?
287
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:20,469
What does it matter? They'll keep shouting
until Will and I leave the building.
288
00:13:20,510 --> 00:13:24,004
And if we don't leave the building,
what will that do to everyone else?
289
00:13:24,045 --> 00:13:27,107
From what I understand,
if I accept your resignations,
290
00:13:27,148 --> 00:13:29,810
there won't be anyone left
except the DC bureau
291
00:13:29,843 --> 00:13:32,248
because those guys
want your jobs.
292
00:13:32,281 --> 00:13:34,781
Will and I will convince
senior staff to stay.
293
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:36,244
I'm not worried about that.
294
00:13:36,277 --> 00:13:39,252
Here's why you have
to let Dantana's lawyers
295
00:13:39,286 --> 00:13:42,549
know you're gonna settle
before papers are filed in the morning.
296
00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:45,483
A diary will be made available
to any reporter who wants to read it...
297
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:47,786
- Which will be every reporter.
- ...of the internal operations of ACN.
298
00:13:47,819 --> 00:13:51,058
And AWM and that diary
will be written by lawyers
299
00:13:51,091 --> 00:13:53,194
whose only objective
is to make us look silly.
300
00:13:53,227 --> 00:13:55,963
I don't feel silly.
You want to split a pizza?
301
00:13:55,996 --> 00:13:57,638
Can you understand me
right now?!
302
00:13:57,671 --> 00:13:59,838
Well, when you speak at that volume,
I think everyone can.
303
00:13:59,871 --> 00:14:02,571
I drove them into
this fucking nightmare.
304
00:14:02,604 --> 00:14:04,505
I led, they followed.
305
00:14:04,538 --> 00:14:06,737
And it's like I led
them to Cape Fear
306
00:14:06,778 --> 00:14:09,348
'cause everyone
we've pissed off--
307
00:14:09,381 --> 00:14:11,747
every congressman,
every reporter,
308
00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:15,986
- every citizen journalist--
- I understand the reality.
309
00:14:16,019 --> 00:14:18,153
You know who I am.
310
00:14:18,186 --> 00:14:20,686
Reese agrees with us.
311
00:14:20,719 --> 00:14:24,557
Oh, the irony that it's come down to
you and Reese agreeing.
312
00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:28,292
- Your son and I seldom agree.
- You disrespect him, Charlie.
313
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:31,229
- He's given me reasons to.
- No, no, he hasn't.
314
00:14:31,294 --> 00:14:32,933
He's given you reasons
to disagree with him,
315
00:14:32,966 --> 00:14:34,258
but not to disrespect him.
316
00:14:34,299 --> 00:14:35,665
Well, we're not
disagreeing now.
317
00:14:35,698 --> 00:14:38,127
He's thinking
very clearly about this.
318
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,325
He's being a smart executive.
319
00:14:40,366 --> 00:14:43,102
And now is exactly
the right time to listen to him.
320
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,496
Well, I'm doing a lot more
than listening to him.
321
00:14:48,529 --> 00:14:51,264
I'm letting him
make the decision.
322
00:14:52,905 --> 00:14:55,103
- You are?
- Yeah.
323
00:14:55,137 --> 00:14:58,176
- Leona, come on.
- Reese is making the decision.
324
00:14:58,209 --> 00:15:00,041
He went out to take a walk.
325
00:15:00,976 --> 00:15:02,677
- Why?
- Clear his head.
326
00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:04,181
- I meant--
- Maybe get a panini.
327
00:15:04,214 --> 00:15:06,547
I meant why are you letting
Reese make the decision?
328
00:15:06,580 --> 00:15:09,146
'Cause I'm not really sure
Elizabeth Windsor
329
00:15:09,179 --> 00:15:10,656
is the world's greatest mom.
330
00:15:10,684 --> 00:15:12,917
I mean, why doesn't she just
give her son the throne?
331
00:15:12,958 --> 00:15:16,024
On the other hand,
I think being queen is what keeps her alive.
332
00:15:16,057 --> 00:15:18,691
But doesn't she want to be alive
to see her son be king?
333
00:15:18,724 --> 00:15:21,089
Except that
that's not how it works.
334
00:15:21,162 --> 00:15:25,128
It's prince by birth,
king by death. Yet--
335
00:15:25,161 --> 00:15:27,232
Do you have any idea
what you're talking about right now?
336
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:29,602
Don't think I do, no.
337
00:15:29,635 --> 00:15:32,969
But I want to see
how Reese handles this.
338
00:15:33,002 --> 00:15:35,333
He's already told us
how he's gonna--
339
00:15:35,366 --> 00:15:37,005
Okay.
340
00:15:39,975 --> 00:15:41,680
Okay.
341
00:15:43,451 --> 00:15:45,082
I'm relieved.
342
00:15:46,714 --> 00:15:48,353
I can tell.
343
00:15:50,492 --> 00:15:52,797
Enjoy the party.
344
00:16:00,298 --> 00:16:03,003
- Oh!
- Oh, my God!
345
00:16:03,036 --> 00:16:05,205
I'm sorry.
Are you all right?
346
00:16:05,238 --> 00:16:07,044
- I'm sorry.
- It was my fault.
347
00:16:07,077 --> 00:16:08,876
I wasn't looking.
Did I hurt you?
348
00:16:08,909 --> 00:16:10,979
No, no, I'm fine.
349
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:12,842
Have we met?
You look familiar.
350
00:16:12,875 --> 00:16:15,008
I'm Maggie Jordan's roommate.
351
00:16:15,049 --> 00:16:16,376
- Sure.
- I'm Lisa.
352
00:16:16,416 --> 00:16:18,383
Lisa.
353
00:16:18,416 --> 00:16:21,216
I'm sorry, Lisa.
Are you all okay?
354
00:16:21,248 --> 00:16:23,886
- Yes.
- Okay.
355
00:16:23,919 --> 00:16:26,886
Oh, Mr. Skinner,
could I ask you a favor?
356
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,191
Would you mind not mentioning to Jim Harper
that I'm working up here tonight?
357
00:16:30,223 --> 00:16:32,632
Yeah, sure.
Why would I mention it to Jim?
358
00:16:32,665 --> 00:16:34,399
Oh, 'cause you guys were--
Got it.
359
00:16:34,432 --> 00:16:36,566
Thank you.
360
00:16:38,167 --> 00:16:39,997
We're ready to make
an important projection
361
00:16:40,038 --> 00:16:42,732
at 9:25 with 27%
of the vote counted.
362
00:16:42,766 --> 00:16:44,701
ACN is projecting
that Pennsylvania
363
00:16:44,742 --> 00:16:46,508
will be won by the president.
364
00:16:46,541 --> 00:16:48,675
Pennsylvania,
a crucial battleground state
365
00:16:48,709 --> 00:16:51,977
which was won by the president
four years ago, will stay in his column.
366
00:16:52,010 --> 00:16:53,945
Suzannah Marquez
is on the scene for us
367
00:16:53,978 --> 00:16:55,743
at Obama headquarters
in Chicago.
368
00:16:55,776 --> 00:16:57,875
Suzannah, was this much
of a surprise where you are?
369
00:16:57,940 --> 00:16:59,010
Will, they're not surprised,
370
00:16:59,043 --> 00:17:00,611
but they're certainly relieved.
371
00:17:00,644 --> 00:17:03,583
This was a state President Obama
was determined to hold
372
00:17:03,616 --> 00:17:06,286
against a late push
from Governor Romney to take it.
373
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,715
There's also something
instructive in these numbers.
374
00:17:08,756 --> 00:17:13,120
According to senior campaign officials
I've been speaking to all day...
375
00:17:13,153 --> 00:17:14,994
- It's not from you?
- Mm-mm.
376
00:17:15,027 --> 00:17:17,262
...was the high
African-American turnout.
377
00:17:17,295 --> 00:17:20,531
And that's a pattern they said
they've been seeing in a number of states today.
378
00:17:20,564 --> 00:17:23,898
But, of course, the night is early
and we'll have much more later.
379
00:17:23,931 --> 00:17:25,970
- Will?
- Thank you, Suzannah Marquez.
380
00:17:26,003 --> 00:17:28,138
- We'll be hearing more from you as the night moves on.
- Battleground update.
381
00:17:28,171 --> 00:17:31,506
Checking in with our
other battleground states--
382
00:17:31,539 --> 00:17:33,641
in Florida with 84%
of the vote in,
383
00:17:33,674 --> 00:17:35,074
the race is as close as it gets
384
00:17:35,115 --> 00:17:37,051
with the president
holding a 50-49 lead.
385
00:17:37,084 --> 00:17:39,253
- It looks like...
- It's close.
386
00:17:39,286 --> 00:17:40,518
Hit refresh.
387
00:17:41,719 --> 00:17:43,190
It just got closer.
388
00:17:43,223 --> 00:17:45,527
657 votes.
389
00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:51,400
- Kathy?
- Very busy now, Jim.
390
00:17:51,433 --> 00:17:52,799
Can I see you one second?
391
00:17:52,832 --> 00:17:54,964
- I'll have to shield my eyes.
- Go ahead.
392
00:17:57,002 --> 00:17:58,801
I'm not allowed
to see other networks.
393
00:17:58,834 --> 00:18:01,707
Just look down.
Aim your gaze at the floor.
394
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:03,172
The Michigan first
is getting tighter.
395
00:18:03,205 --> 00:18:04,940
Benishek is only up
by 600 votes.
396
00:18:04,981 --> 00:18:06,409
657.
397
00:18:06,442 --> 00:18:08,808
There was a moment in the race
when it was 1-0, right?
398
00:18:08,841 --> 00:18:12,588
- That's not-- Yes, but--
- And then the second vote got counted.
399
00:18:12,621 --> 00:18:14,115
- You're still confident he's going to win?
- Yes.
400
00:18:14,156 --> 00:18:17,385
- And you're just as confident he's going to win.
- 51-49 red.
401
00:18:17,418 --> 00:18:19,288
- Or, if you want to be more exact...
- I do.
402
00:18:19,321 --> 00:18:22,625
- 50.6 to 49.4.
- That's literally as close as a race can be.
403
00:18:22,658 --> 00:18:24,362
- That's why we haven't called it.
- We did call it.
404
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:26,427
- You called it.
- What's the abbreviation for Michigan?
405
00:18:26,468 --> 00:18:28,633
- MI.
- What's the abbreviation for Mississippi?
406
00:18:28,666 --> 00:18:32,062
- MISS.
- Okay, you're not here as an abbreviation expert.
407
00:18:32,095 --> 00:18:34,600
I'm 100% confident
in those abbreviations.
408
00:18:34,632 --> 00:18:36,104
Go back in your lair.
409
00:18:36,137 --> 00:18:37,537
- Jim.
- Yeah?
410
00:18:37,571 --> 00:18:39,440
Rachel Corey is on the phone
and wants to talk to you.
411
00:18:39,473 --> 00:18:42,077
She's a pollster with the Benishek campaign
in the Michigan first.
412
00:18:42,111 --> 00:18:43,875
Here it comes.
413
00:18:43,908 --> 00:18:45,444
Tam, will you transfer
that call to Maggie's line?
414
00:18:45,477 --> 00:18:47,783
Yeah.
415
00:18:52,258 --> 00:18:54,154
This is Jim Harper.
416
00:18:54,195 --> 00:18:57,625
Jim, this is Rachel Corey
with Dan Benishek's campaign in Michigan.
417
00:18:57,658 --> 00:19:00,365
- Congratulations!
- That's why I'm on the phone.
418
00:19:00,398 --> 00:19:03,405
ACN called the race a while ago,
but no one else has.
419
00:19:03,438 --> 00:19:05,437
Well, I can't speak
for the other networks,
420
00:19:05,470 --> 00:19:07,772
but ACN has the congressman
holding his seat.
421
00:19:07,805 --> 00:19:10,011
Our numbers show
he's only up by 600 votes.
422
00:19:10,044 --> 00:19:12,643
- 657.
- 632.
423
00:19:12,676 --> 00:19:13,946
What the hell is going on, Jim?
424
00:19:13,979 --> 00:19:16,282
Do I send my guy out
to make a victory speech?
425
00:19:17,179 --> 00:19:18,883
I would.
426
00:19:18,916 --> 00:19:20,589
Look, I don't want to kick you guys
when you're down,
427
00:19:20,622 --> 00:19:24,526
but you haven't had the most awesome
history of being right lately.
428
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:28,762
Well, first, you can't bounce
the words history and lately
429
00:19:28,795 --> 00:19:30,658
off each other
in the same sentence.
430
00:19:30,699 --> 00:19:33,669
Also, in my entire time here
covering national elections,
431
00:19:33,702 --> 00:19:35,269
ACN hasn't missed
a single call.
432
00:19:35,302 --> 00:19:37,236
How many elections
have you been there for?
433
00:19:37,268 --> 00:19:38,371
This is my second.
434
00:19:38,404 --> 00:19:41,001
- Did we win the election or not?
- You did.
435
00:19:41,034 --> 00:19:42,809
Then why has no one else
called it?
436
00:19:42,842 --> 00:19:45,644
You're forcing me to brag,
but it may just be
437
00:19:45,677 --> 00:19:47,580
that we have better people
working the numbers.
438
00:19:47,613 --> 00:19:50,683
You won't be offended if we wait
until someone else has called it, will you?
439
00:19:50,716 --> 00:19:52,715
No, ma'am.
I am a little offended.
440
00:19:52,748 --> 00:19:54,586
- Even though you're lying?
- She doesn't know that.
441
00:19:54,619 --> 00:19:56,418
- We've got a problem upstairs.
- At the party?
442
00:19:56,451 --> 00:19:58,826
The guests were supposed
to hand over their phones and someone didn't,
443
00:19:58,859 --> 00:20:00,961
because they tweeted a picture.
444
00:20:00,994 --> 00:20:03,424
There are people up there who are hearing
information we don't want leaked.
445
00:20:03,457 --> 00:20:06,595
And also this is
a shot of Charlie
446
00:20:06,636 --> 00:20:08,300
on the floor with
broken champagne glasses,
447
00:20:08,333 --> 00:20:10,372
which isn't the best optic
for us right now.
448
00:20:10,405 --> 00:20:13,074
- I don't have the muscle to get security to--
- That's Lisa.
449
00:20:14,603 --> 00:20:17,539
- Kneeling on the floor, that's Lisa.
- That is Lisa.
450
00:20:17,579 --> 00:20:19,642
She didn't want you to know
she was here tonight.
451
00:20:19,675 --> 00:20:22,606
She's been working for a caterer
to earn extra money.
452
00:20:22,679 --> 00:20:24,708
Why didn't she want me
to know she was here?
453
00:20:26,846 --> 00:20:28,351
This is where
I'm gonna check out.
454
00:20:28,384 --> 00:20:30,919
But someone upstairs has a phone
and they're using it.
455
00:20:33,793 --> 00:20:36,992
You know, it might be a good time
for you guys to patch things up.
456
00:20:37,025 --> 00:20:38,728
You really think
this is a good time?
457
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:43,832
What if none of us
are here tomorrow?
458
00:20:46,598 --> 00:20:49,037
599.
459
00:20:51,173 --> 00:20:53,005
Checking back in
with our analysts.
460
00:20:53,038 --> 00:20:55,248
Taylor, you've been looking over the exits
and working your phone.
461
00:20:55,281 --> 00:20:56,615
Tell us what you're
seeing and hearing.
462
00:20:56,648 --> 00:20:58,614
We're seeing movement
in Florida.
463
00:20:58,647 --> 00:21:01,714
The last exit polls showed
Mitt Romney up by three.
464
00:21:01,747 --> 00:21:04,777
The latest show the president up by one.
So that's a fluid race.
465
00:21:04,810 --> 00:21:07,020
But senior campaign
sources in Boston
466
00:21:07,053 --> 00:21:08,853
are telling me they like
the precinct breakdown.
467
00:21:08,886 --> 00:21:10,723
The Romney people still
feeling good about Florida?
468
00:21:10,756 --> 00:21:12,259
- Take us to break.
- Florida and Ohio.
469
00:21:12,292 --> 00:21:13,386
And hopefully we'll be able
470
00:21:13,426 --> 00:21:14,921
to bring those calls
to you soon.
471
00:21:14,954 --> 00:21:17,024
But right now, what we know
is that Pennsylvania,
472
00:21:17,057 --> 00:21:18,459
the first of
the big contested states...
473
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:20,594
- Play in and stand by animation.
- Standing.
474
00:21:20,635 --> 00:21:23,065
Stay tuned for more
of ACN's continuing coverage
475
00:21:23,098 --> 00:21:24,633
of Election Night 2012.
476
00:21:26,635 --> 00:21:28,073
We're out.
477
00:21:28,106 --> 00:21:30,442
- Two minutes back.
- That's two and no change.
478
00:21:30,475 --> 00:21:33,042
Will, we're ready to call
the House for the Republicans.
479
00:21:33,108 --> 00:21:34,672
All right, I'll take care
of things out here.
480
00:21:34,713 --> 00:21:36,805
- You do it in there.
- Take care of what things?
481
00:21:36,846 --> 00:21:38,675
Come sit in this chair.
482
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,345
Why?
483
00:21:40,378 --> 00:21:42,672
When we come back from commercial,
you're gonna call the House
484
00:21:42,713 --> 00:21:44,646
for the Republicans and go
to Sloan for the breakdown.
485
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,645
- Where are you going?
- I'm taking a break.
486
00:21:46,678 --> 00:21:49,349
What do you mean,
you're taking--
487
00:21:49,382 --> 00:21:51,752
I want our audience to get used to
seeing you break big news.
488
00:21:51,785 --> 00:21:53,121
That's not gonna be necessary.
489
00:21:53,186 --> 00:21:54,953
- Take the chair.
- No.
490
00:21:54,993 --> 00:21:57,255
Then there's gonna be a camera
pointed at an empty chair.
491
00:21:57,288 --> 00:21:58,823
Oh, fuck. Will!
492
00:22:04,226 --> 00:22:06,530
- Don.
- Yeah?
493
00:22:06,563 --> 00:22:08,426
We're gonna call the House
after the break.
494
00:22:08,467 --> 00:22:09,962
Yeah, we've got Boehner,
Cantor, and Pelosi,
495
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:11,761
but we have to wait in line for a while,
so you'll need to vamp.
496
00:22:11,802 --> 00:22:14,097
You'll need to vamp.
I'm gonna step out of the room.
497
00:22:14,137 --> 00:22:15,935
- 60 seconds back.
- What?
498
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:17,703
You've got your cards,
you've got your producers,
499
00:22:17,736 --> 00:22:19,704
you've got Elliot at the desk.
500
00:22:19,737 --> 00:22:21,577
What's happening right now?
501
00:22:21,610 --> 00:22:23,609
We just want to show Reese and Leona
you guys are good at this.
502
00:22:23,642 --> 00:22:26,109
- You guys are good at this.
- See you in eight minutes.
503
00:22:28,879 --> 00:22:31,281
The Republicans are keeping the House.
Let's get that graphic up.
504
00:22:31,322 --> 00:22:33,455
- G-0445 standing.
- Elliot.
505
00:22:33,488 --> 00:22:35,022
I'm here.
506
00:22:35,055 --> 00:22:36,652
You're gonna ask Sloan
how we're able to make that call.
507
00:22:36,685 --> 00:22:39,653
- Copy.
- Sloan, most of the competitive House races
508
00:22:39,694 --> 00:22:41,327
were in states where
polls closed at 8:00.
509
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:43,192
Republicans were ahead in 12,
Democrats in three,
510
00:22:43,233 --> 00:22:45,327
and that's how
we're able to call it.
511
00:22:45,368 --> 00:22:48,297
- You copy?
- This is getting out of hand.
512
00:22:48,330 --> 00:22:50,993
Ah, don't worry about that
right now, okay?
513
00:22:51,034 --> 00:22:52,529
Copy.
514
00:22:56,936 --> 00:22:58,532
Welcome back.
515
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:00,964
We are ready to make
a big call.
516
00:23:01,037 --> 00:23:04,774
ACN's ready to project
that the Republican Party
517
00:23:04,807 --> 00:23:07,373
will be the majority party
in the House of Representatives
518
00:23:07,406 --> 00:23:08,812
for at least two more years.
519
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,179
So far, so good.
520
00:23:10,212 --> 00:23:12,842
ACN is projecting at this time
that the Republicans
521
00:23:12,883 --> 00:23:15,114
will hold on to
the majority of the House.
522
00:23:15,147 --> 00:23:17,478
We'll be speaking with
Majority Leader Eric Cantor in just a moment.
523
00:23:17,511 --> 00:23:19,781
But before we do,
Sloan Sabbith,
524
00:23:19,814 --> 00:23:21,283
you've been reviewing
all the information
525
00:23:21,316 --> 00:23:22,547
as far as the House
is concerned.
526
00:23:22,580 --> 00:23:24,052
You've been speaking
with our decision desk.
527
00:23:24,085 --> 00:23:25,452
How are we able to call this?
528
00:23:25,485 --> 00:23:26,756
Well, Elliot,
the Democrats
529
00:23:26,789 --> 00:23:29,753
needed a net gain of 25 seats
to take the House
530
00:23:29,786 --> 00:23:32,592
and 20 of the most competitive
races closed at 8:00.
531
00:23:32,625 --> 00:23:36,194
I was wrong to think the reason
you weren't firing me was vanity.
532
00:23:40,032 --> 00:23:41,356
I was wrong to think the reason
533
00:23:41,397 --> 00:23:43,363
you weren't firing me
was that it would look bad.
534
00:23:43,396 --> 00:23:45,997
I'm sorry for that.
535
00:23:47,439 --> 00:23:48,703
You want your job back?
536
00:23:50,407 --> 00:23:53,107
I don't think it'll make
that much difference now.
537
00:23:53,140 --> 00:23:55,938
Charlie told me Leona
is letting Reese make the decision.
538
00:23:55,971 --> 00:23:58,180
Yeah.
539
00:23:59,046 --> 00:24:00,646
I tried to explain it
540
00:24:00,679 --> 00:24:03,452
my first day here
the second I saw you.
541
00:24:03,485 --> 00:24:05,051
Do you remember?
542
00:24:05,084 --> 00:24:07,681
I was hung up on him
because he had rejected me.
543
00:24:07,714 --> 00:24:10,087
That's normal.
544
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,221
I liked that he hated
I was dating you.
545
00:24:12,254 --> 00:24:13,780
We weren't just dating.
546
00:24:13,822 --> 00:24:15,620
Later. We weren't
just dating later.
547
00:24:15,653 --> 00:24:17,987
At the beginning we were,
though.
548
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:21,430
And I was using you to get,
549
00:24:21,463 --> 00:24:23,325
you know.
550
00:24:23,366 --> 00:24:25,562
And then I fell
in love with you
551
00:24:25,595 --> 00:24:28,358
and I never saw him again.
552
00:24:28,391 --> 00:24:31,825
And if I hadn't told you,
553
00:24:31,858 --> 00:24:33,593
you'd never have known.
554
00:24:34,562 --> 00:24:36,032
So why did you tell me?
555
00:24:36,065 --> 00:24:37,632
If I had to do it over again,
I wouldn't,
556
00:24:37,665 --> 00:24:41,290
but I had never been in a relationship
as serious as ours
557
00:24:41,331 --> 00:24:43,266
and I thought it was
what I was supposed to do.
558
00:24:43,299 --> 00:24:45,467
You sure you didn't tell me
'cause you wanted to break up?
559
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:47,235
Oh, fuck you.
560
00:24:47,268 --> 00:24:48,866
- It's a reasonable--
- Yeah, I'm sure.
561
00:24:48,899 --> 00:24:51,671
Are you sure you're not
just a massive bag of douche?
562
00:24:51,704 --> 00:24:54,234
'Cause let me tell you something,
it's just plain weird
563
00:24:54,267 --> 00:24:56,299
that you were prepared
to marry me,
564
00:24:56,340 --> 00:24:57,708
that you'd bought a ring,
565
00:24:57,741 --> 00:25:01,008
but were unwilling
to read any of my e-mails
566
00:25:01,049 --> 00:25:02,583
or answer any of my calls.
567
00:25:02,616 --> 00:25:06,312
Yeah, I'm sorry for this,
but the ring was a practical joke.
568
00:25:06,345 --> 00:25:09,175
You were having the staff vet me,
remember?
569
00:25:09,216 --> 00:25:11,815
I knew you were gonna find the offer
from when we were together
570
00:25:11,848 --> 00:25:13,480
for me to do something
on the West Coast.
571
00:25:13,521 --> 00:25:16,214
I knew you were gonna come into the office
waving it and saying,
572
00:25:16,287 --> 00:25:17,884
"Aha, you were never
as serious as you said,
573
00:25:17,918 --> 00:25:20,115
'cause if you were,
you'd have told me about a job
574
00:25:20,156 --> 00:25:22,387
you were considering
on the other side of the country."
575
00:25:22,420 --> 00:25:24,257
And that's what happened.
576
00:25:26,623 --> 00:25:30,494
You know, I heard,
"The ring was a practical joke..."
577
00:25:31,991 --> 00:25:34,662
and then I didn't hear
anything after that.
578
00:25:34,695 --> 00:25:37,165
It wasn't a joke.
It was a rejoinder. It wasn't a joke.
579
00:25:37,197 --> 00:25:39,395
You took out a ring
and showed it to me
580
00:25:39,428 --> 00:25:42,562
as proof that your intention
had been to marry me.
581
00:25:42,603 --> 00:25:43,866
I bought the ring that morning.
582
00:25:43,899 --> 00:25:46,799
Scott's assistant did.
583
00:25:48,334 --> 00:25:51,375
Your agent's assistant
went to Tiffany's
584
00:25:51,408 --> 00:25:52,903
and bought the ring
that morning?
585
00:25:52,944 --> 00:25:55,007
Yes. I'm sorry.
And you were never supposed to know.
586
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,878
So I get the irony
and I am really sorry.
587
00:25:57,911 --> 00:26:01,417
That ring had to have cost
a quarter of a million dollars.
588
00:26:01,450 --> 00:26:03,321
I'm not really sure.
589
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:05,655
We returned it that afternoon.
590
00:26:05,688 --> 00:26:07,853
I asked them to get a nice one.
591
00:26:07,886 --> 00:26:09,820
You once described a ring
you saw in a movie.
592
00:26:09,853 --> 00:26:11,388
- Okay.
- Mac.
593
00:26:11,421 --> 00:26:13,091
You know, no kidding.
I'm gonna step away.
594
00:26:13,124 --> 00:26:14,722
- Hang on.
- Because the thing is I'm serious.
595
00:26:14,755 --> 00:26:16,920
I feel like I'm gonna hit you
and you have to be back on the air.
596
00:26:16,961 --> 00:26:18,959
- You're not going to hit me.
- I'm worried that I am.
597
00:26:18,992 --> 00:26:20,661
And I'm the executive
producer of the show.
598
00:26:20,694 --> 00:26:22,727
I can defend my--
599
00:26:24,801 --> 00:26:26,598
Stand on the other side
of the room.
600
00:26:26,631 --> 00:26:28,733
- This is stupid.
- There is a reasonable chance,
601
00:26:28,766 --> 00:26:30,869
a credible threat
that I'm gonna hit you
602
00:26:30,903 --> 00:26:32,471
and I don't want you
to have a bloody lip
603
00:26:32,504 --> 00:26:33,944
when we come back
from commercial.
604
00:26:33,977 --> 00:26:36,177
That should make sense to you.
605
00:26:39,113 --> 00:26:40,847
Like I said, if I ever thought
606
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,708
there was a chance
you'd find out...
607
00:26:42,749 --> 00:26:44,515
You just told me!
608
00:26:53,614 --> 00:26:55,518
I brutally hurt you
and that's a fact.
609
00:26:55,551 --> 00:26:58,521
And facts don't change.
But in my lifetime...
610
00:27:00,729 --> 00:27:03,357
I've never done it
intentionally.
611
00:27:07,663 --> 00:27:09,630
I'm sorry.
612
00:27:21,179 --> 00:27:24,849
Recap the House and then
look at Colorado when we come back.
613
00:27:28,723 --> 00:27:30,655
Yeah.
614
00:27:35,293 --> 00:27:37,396
- Did you find out anything?
- Yes.
615
00:27:37,429 --> 00:27:39,596
A woman at the auction
management company
616
00:27:39,629 --> 00:27:42,868
was moved by your story
and a little concerned about going to jail
617
00:27:42,901 --> 00:27:45,763
for fraud, so she was happy to fax over
the name and contact information
618
00:27:45,804 --> 00:27:49,102
of the person who bought the forged book,
but you're not gonna be happy.
619
00:27:49,136 --> 00:27:50,831
Was it bought by an inmate?
620
00:27:50,871 --> 00:27:53,807
I have a small, slightly disturbed following
among white-collar criminals.
621
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,773
The book was bought
by Sidney Falco.
622
00:27:55,806 --> 00:27:58,836
- I don't know who that is.
- It's Tony Curtis.
623
00:27:58,877 --> 00:28:01,241
Sidney Falco is a character
from Sweet Smell of Success.
624
00:28:01,274 --> 00:28:03,473
The highest bid was anonymous?
625
00:28:03,506 --> 00:28:04,704
All the bids are anonymous.
626
00:28:04,745 --> 00:28:06,280
Joe Gillis is Sunset Boulevard.
627
00:28:06,313 --> 00:28:07,944
Walter Neff from Double Indemnity.
628
00:28:07,977 --> 00:28:09,712
Archibald Craven
from The Secret Garden.
629
00:28:09,745 --> 00:28:10,880
I don't understand this at all.
630
00:28:10,913 --> 00:28:12,713
Someone wanted to create
631
00:28:12,754 --> 00:28:14,617
the impression
of a bidding war.
632
00:28:14,650 --> 00:28:16,886
So a total of nobody
bid on the book?
633
00:28:16,919 --> 00:28:18,851
Except Sidney Falco from
Sweet Smell of Success
634
00:28:18,884 --> 00:28:21,156
who, for some reason,
bid himself up with other fictional characters.
635
00:28:21,189 --> 00:28:24,021
Who cares?
Someone gave $1,000 to Sandy relief
636
00:28:24,062 --> 00:28:25,788
and they think they have
your signature.
637
00:28:25,829 --> 00:28:27,562
- I'm gonna get to the bottom of this.
- You're at the bottom.
638
00:28:27,595 --> 00:28:29,059
- There are clues here.
- I don't think so.
639
00:28:29,092 --> 00:28:30,363
- There could be clues.
- There aren't.
640
00:28:30,396 --> 00:28:31,867
And you don't want to start
looking for anagrams--
641
00:28:31,900 --> 00:28:33,701
Let's start looking for
anagrams of Sidney Falco
642
00:28:33,734 --> 00:28:35,806
and Sweet Smell of Success.
643
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:37,638
Okay.
644
00:28:41,373 --> 00:28:42,939
I got your text.
645
00:28:42,972 --> 00:28:44,779
- I've decided to counter-sue Jerry.
- Of course.
646
00:28:44,812 --> 00:28:46,677
- I'm fighting back.
- What are you suing him for?
647
00:28:46,717 --> 00:28:49,055
- To fight back.
- I meant exactly what are you--
648
00:28:49,088 --> 00:28:50,655
- You ready?
- I'm sorry?
649
00:28:50,688 --> 00:28:52,256
- I said you ready?
- Give it to me.
650
00:28:52,289 --> 00:28:54,690
Intentional affliction
of emotional distress.
651
00:28:54,731 --> 00:28:56,463
- How do you even know?
- I Googled it.
652
00:28:56,496 --> 00:28:58,291
- There are four elements.
- One: He acted intentionally.
653
00:28:58,324 --> 00:29:01,563
- By doctoring the tape.
- Two: His conduct was extreme and outrageous.
654
00:29:01,596 --> 00:29:04,133
- He doctored the tape.
- Three: You suffered distress.
655
00:29:04,167 --> 00:29:05,735
I am in extreme distress.
656
00:29:05,767 --> 00:29:08,006
And four: His act
caused your distress.
657
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,172
He doctored
the motherfucking tape, Rebecca.
658
00:29:10,205 --> 00:29:12,674
- You sound upset.
- Do I?
659
00:29:12,707 --> 00:29:15,772
He doctored the tape
and he gets to sue us?
660
00:29:15,813 --> 00:29:18,351
I gave him a bad job recommendation
'cause he doctored the tape
661
00:29:18,384 --> 00:29:20,415
and he gets to sue me?
662
00:29:20,448 --> 00:29:23,585
- The people who want tort reform, they got a point.
- Yes.
663
00:29:23,626 --> 00:29:25,922
The things you're allowed to sue for
and be taken seriously.
664
00:29:25,963 --> 00:29:27,729
And so we come
face-to-face
665
00:29:27,762 --> 00:29:29,791
with just how stupid
lawyers worry we are.
666
00:29:29,824 --> 00:29:31,293
I lost you
in the middle of that.
667
00:29:31,326 --> 00:29:33,598
You know what it says
on a box of chocolate pudding mix?
668
00:29:33,631 --> 00:29:36,434
"Caution, pudding
will get hot when heated."
669
00:29:36,467 --> 00:29:39,108
Go to a hotel, you know what it says
on the shower cap in the bathroom?
670
00:29:39,141 --> 00:29:41,211
"Fits one head."
671
00:29:41,244 --> 00:29:43,475
- You wear a shower cap?
- I read.
672
00:29:43,508 --> 00:29:45,178
And I'm dying to know the suit
673
00:29:45,211 --> 00:29:47,408
that prompted lawyers
to insist on the shower cap directions.
674
00:29:47,449 --> 00:29:49,175
Look at the box
your iron came in.
675
00:29:49,216 --> 00:29:52,351
It says, "Warning,
do not iron clothes while wearing them."
676
00:29:52,384 --> 00:29:55,086
Do we really have to slow down
for these people?
677
00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:57,749
Leona's leaving
the decision to Reese.
678
00:29:59,189 --> 00:30:01,020
I know.
679
00:30:04,429 --> 00:30:06,491
That's not what you wanted.
680
00:30:09,330 --> 00:30:11,192
I don't know what I want.
681
00:30:18,935 --> 00:30:21,406
I want to keep doing the news.
682
00:30:21,439 --> 00:30:23,573
Here.
683
00:30:23,606 --> 00:30:25,709
With Elliot for Charlie.
684
00:30:25,742 --> 00:30:27,676
I want to keep arguing
with Mac and Will.
685
00:30:27,709 --> 00:30:30,274
I want Dantana to iron his clothes
while wearing them.
686
00:30:36,343 --> 00:30:38,908
Could I get another Grey Goose on the rocks
with three olives?
687
00:30:38,981 --> 00:30:40,580
- Sure.
- And you can just bring me some more champagne
688
00:30:40,613 --> 00:30:42,685
if it hasn't all been
soaked up by your clothes.
689
00:30:42,718 --> 00:30:44,982
- No, there's plenty more.
- Just joking with you.
690
00:30:45,023 --> 00:30:47,453
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
691
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:52,326
Don't shoot.
692
00:30:52,359 --> 00:30:54,094
Charlie Skinner
wasn't supposed to tell you I was here.
693
00:30:54,127 --> 00:30:56,598
He didn't. Someone tweeted
a picture of you on the floor.
694
00:30:56,631 --> 00:30:59,302
The center of gravity
on champagne glasses is too high.
695
00:30:59,335 --> 00:31:01,134
That's what I've always said.
696
00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:03,436
And what happened
to the old-fashioned ones from the movies?
697
00:31:03,469 --> 00:31:06,141
They're too wide. They let the bubbles out.
I'm working right now.
698
00:31:06,175 --> 00:31:07,911
Yeah, Maggie said you were
working for a caterer.
699
00:31:07,944 --> 00:31:09,943
On the side.
I still work at the store.
700
00:31:09,976 --> 00:31:11,709
It was good seeing you.
701
00:31:11,742 --> 00:31:14,875
I just have a minute.
We're waiting for some Senate information.
702
00:31:14,916 --> 00:31:16,777
I think Sherrod Brown
is gonna keep his seat
703
00:31:16,810 --> 00:31:18,947
and it's looking like
McCaskill's gonna beat Todd Akin.
704
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:20,516
- Do you know how frustrating this is?
- Careful.
705
00:31:20,558 --> 00:31:22,156
I want to kick
your ass right now,
706
00:31:22,189 --> 00:31:23,724
but I can't 'cause everyone else is.
There's no room.
707
00:31:23,757 --> 00:31:25,494
So I have to feel bad
for you instead.
708
00:31:25,527 --> 00:31:27,430
If those are the only choices,
I'd rather you kick my ass.
709
00:31:27,463 --> 00:31:29,401
- You don't get to decide. You know why?
- I do.
710
00:31:29,434 --> 00:31:31,137
- Do you remember standing in front of me and swearing...
- Yes.
711
00:31:31,170 --> 00:31:33,073
- ...swearing that you didn't have feelings--
- I meant it.
712
00:31:33,106 --> 00:31:36,041
You know that I found out from
that fucking YouTube video, you asshole?
713
00:31:36,074 --> 00:31:37,875
I don't think there's a way
it could have been worse.
714
00:31:37,908 --> 00:31:41,149
- Excuse me, Lisa. Is there a problem?
- No.
715
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:43,449
It seems like there is because
you're speaking rudely to a guest.
716
00:31:43,482 --> 00:31:46,111
- And the incident earlier, that man was the president--
- There's no problem.
717
00:31:46,152 --> 00:31:48,217
And considering the circumstances,
she's being remarkably polite.
718
00:31:48,250 --> 00:31:51,153
On the other hand,
one of your servers is tweeting pictures
719
00:31:51,186 --> 00:31:53,226
from the party and you signed
a confidentiality agreement.
720
00:31:53,260 --> 00:31:54,963
Well, if that's true,
it's serious.
721
00:31:54,996 --> 00:31:56,257
- It is.
- I'll take care of it.
722
00:31:56,298 --> 00:31:58,592
- Lisa, please be working.
- I'm coming now.
723
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:00,632
How do you know
it was one of the servers?
724
00:32:00,665 --> 00:32:02,032
- It probably wasn't.
- I have to go.
725
00:32:02,065 --> 00:32:05,370
I meant it.
When I stood in front of you
726
00:32:05,403 --> 00:32:07,043
and when I swore, I meant it.
727
00:32:07,076 --> 00:32:08,476
- I believe you.
- Do you?
728
00:32:08,509 --> 00:32:11,177
Yes, it wasn't till after you got to know me
that you rejected me.
729
00:32:11,210 --> 00:32:13,344
- Champagne?
- No, thank you, I'm good.
730
00:32:13,377 --> 00:32:15,049
I didn't reject you.
731
00:32:15,082 --> 00:32:17,420
And there isn't a way
it could have been worse.
732
00:32:17,453 --> 00:32:20,421
Grey Goose up, three olives.
733
00:32:20,454 --> 00:32:22,691
Because at that point,
my worst fear was realized.
734
00:32:22,724 --> 00:32:25,325
- Spiders?
- You get a kick out of yourself, don't you?
735
00:32:25,358 --> 00:32:27,599
I actually ordered this
on the rocks.
736
00:32:27,632 --> 00:32:29,136
My fault.
I'll fix that.
737
00:32:29,168 --> 00:32:31,501
She got the number of olives right.
She's making progress.
738
00:32:31,534 --> 00:32:33,699
- What was that?
- I beg your pardon?
739
00:32:33,732 --> 00:32:35,570
Jim.
740
00:32:35,603 --> 00:32:38,140
- I don't know what your worst fear is.
- That you think I'm stupid.
741
00:32:38,175 --> 00:32:39,974
And stop trying to make up
for it by defending my honor
742
00:32:40,007 --> 00:32:41,573
to a guy you can obviously
beat the shit out of.
743
00:32:41,614 --> 00:32:43,309
- Stop.
- I can't.
744
00:32:43,342 --> 00:32:45,213
Do you think I think
you're stupid?
745
00:32:45,246 --> 00:32:47,180
- I have to circulate.
- The whole time you thought--
746
00:32:47,213 --> 00:32:49,219
I'm smart enough to know
that I'm not smart enough.
747
00:32:49,252 --> 00:32:50,482
- For what?
- You.
748
00:32:50,515 --> 00:32:52,081
- Stop walking.
- Can we drop it?
749
00:32:52,114 --> 00:32:54,247
Lisa.
750
00:32:54,288 --> 00:32:57,258
- I don't get you.
- Maggie is downstairs being a news producer.
751
00:32:57,291 --> 00:32:59,092
Your new girlfriend's
in Boston covering
752
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:00,933
a presidential candidate
for her own website.
753
00:33:00,966 --> 00:33:02,860
And I'm up here passing out drinks.
What evidence--
754
00:33:02,901 --> 00:33:04,466
You're working two jobs.
755
00:33:04,499 --> 00:33:06,603
You're thoughtful
and you're authentic.
756
00:33:06,636 --> 00:33:09,838
And I have never seen you
sneer at anyone or anything.
757
00:33:09,871 --> 00:33:13,009
There is, believe me,
no one that you're not good enough for
758
00:33:13,050 --> 00:33:15,446
and there is hardly anyone
who's good enough for you,
759
00:33:15,479 --> 00:33:17,510
including, it turned out, me.
760
00:33:17,550 --> 00:33:19,150
I'm about to turn 30.
761
00:33:19,183 --> 00:33:20,950
And you could just as easily
be someone's date here tonight
762
00:33:20,983 --> 00:33:22,454
or married
to their black Am Ex.
763
00:33:22,487 --> 00:33:25,516
If they can make me laugh,
I'd take a green one.
764
00:33:25,557 --> 00:33:27,554
Did Maggie cut her own hair?
765
00:33:27,587 --> 00:33:29,620
- I don't speak to Maggie.
- You live in the same apartment.
766
00:33:29,661 --> 00:33:31,629
We have our own lives.
Champagne?
767
00:33:31,662 --> 00:33:33,261
Strictly speaking,
champagne should be poured
768
00:33:33,294 --> 00:33:34,996
immediately after
the bottle's been uncorked,
769
00:33:35,029 --> 00:33:36,866
but because you're very beautiful,
I'll make an exception.
770
00:33:36,899 --> 00:33:38,728
Yeah, yeah.
Take the glass.
771
00:33:40,634 --> 00:33:42,066
- Maggie's in bad shape.
- I don't care.
772
00:33:42,099 --> 00:33:44,108
- I don't speak to Maggie.
- Please change that policy.
773
00:33:44,141 --> 00:33:45,477
- No.
- She's in bad shape.
774
00:33:45,510 --> 00:33:47,141
Because you're dating
that reporter from the bus?
775
00:33:47,173 --> 00:33:49,107
- It's hard for me to sympathize.
- Not because of me.
776
00:33:49,140 --> 00:33:51,778
- Because of Africa.
- What do you mean?
777
00:33:51,811 --> 00:33:53,548
I don't care.
Champagne?
778
00:33:53,581 --> 00:33:55,422
They don't want champagne.
779
00:33:55,455 --> 00:33:58,452
Are you saying Maggie didn't tell you
what happened in Uganda?
780
00:33:58,485 --> 00:34:02,122
No. And again,
I don't care.
781
00:34:02,155 --> 00:34:03,523
Did she get hurt?
782
00:34:03,556 --> 00:34:04,956
Did somebody--
What are you saying?
783
00:34:04,997 --> 00:34:07,060
You have to ask her.
784
00:34:07,093 --> 00:34:09,132
I can't tell you
if she doesn't want you to know.
785
00:34:09,165 --> 00:34:11,968
But she wants you to know,
so you have to ask her.
786
00:34:13,209 --> 00:34:14,840
No.
787
00:34:16,113 --> 00:34:18,440
Did she cut her own hair off?
788
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,816
There was hair
on the bathroom floor.
789
00:34:23,249 --> 00:34:25,816
We're gonna make the Senate call
in Missouri and Ohio
790
00:34:25,849 --> 00:34:28,858
and we'll be throwing it to DC
in 10 or 11 minutes.
791
00:34:28,891 --> 00:34:30,354
- Copy.
- But if we're able to call Florida,
792
00:34:30,395 --> 00:34:33,163
or for that matter, the race,
just send it back.
793
00:34:33,197 --> 00:34:36,436
You're not gonna let
DC call the race?
794
00:34:36,469 --> 00:34:38,404
Just send it back.
795
00:34:38,437 --> 00:34:41,604
We'll try not to drop
sarin gas on anyone while we do.
796
00:34:46,172 --> 00:34:48,944
If you've got something to say, Jane,
you should say it to me
797
00:34:48,977 --> 00:34:50,681
and not to the people
in this control room
798
00:34:50,714 --> 00:34:53,009
who simply did what
I told them to do and did it well.
799
00:34:53,050 --> 00:34:55,381
And I have people here who could live
without Genoa on their resumes,
800
00:34:55,414 --> 00:34:59,180
so I'm not sure from where you get
the nerve to insist that Will call the race.
801
00:34:59,213 --> 00:35:00,612
I get the nerve from my mother.
802
00:35:00,653 --> 00:35:02,788
But for the record,
it was a DC producer
803
00:35:02,821 --> 00:35:04,587
who committed
journalistic malpractice.
804
00:35:04,620 --> 00:35:06,888
And if I were you,
I'd be going through every story
805
00:35:06,921 --> 00:35:08,952
he ever produced for you
frame by frame
806
00:35:08,985 --> 00:35:10,794
to find out what else
he's cooked along the way.
807
00:35:10,829 --> 00:35:13,657
Good advice. Let me know
if you have any recommendations
808
00:35:13,690 --> 00:35:16,262
for your job
when I take Will's chair in New York.
809
00:35:17,262 --> 00:35:18,892
It's Charlie Skinner, Jane.
810
00:35:18,925 --> 00:35:21,894
Send it back to New York
when Mac tells you to.
811
00:35:21,935 --> 00:35:24,627
- Copy that.
- The desk says go on Senate.
812
00:35:24,668 --> 00:35:27,565
We're ready to go on the Senate.
McCaskill and Brown.
813
00:35:27,598 --> 00:35:29,829
Because this is something
that needs to be kept in mind.
814
00:35:29,862 --> 00:35:33,399
- The entire world--
- Sorry, we're gonna make an important call.
815
00:35:33,472 --> 00:35:35,238
Two big races in the US Senate.
816
00:35:35,271 --> 00:35:38,373
ACN is projecting that in Ohio,
Sherrod Brown,
817
00:35:38,406 --> 00:35:40,476
the Democratic incumbent,
will be reelected
818
00:35:40,509 --> 00:35:42,708
and Claire McCaskill,
the Democrat from Missouri,
819
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:44,780
will keep her seat as well.
820
00:35:44,845 --> 00:35:46,276
Elliot, what does that mean
for the Senate?
821
00:35:46,317 --> 00:35:48,749
It's now
mathematically impossible
822
00:35:48,782 --> 00:35:50,452
for the Republicans
to take control of the Senate,
823
00:35:50,485 --> 00:35:53,353
even if Romney wins tonight
and Paul Ryan becomes the tiebreaker.
824
00:35:53,386 --> 00:35:55,648
So we're projecting now
that Harry Reid
825
00:35:55,689 --> 00:35:57,521
will stay in the majority
leader's office.
826
00:35:57,554 --> 00:35:59,826
Taylor, should the Democrats
be sending the Tea Party
827
00:35:59,859 --> 00:36:03,190
a basket of mini muffins
and a thank-you card for that?
828
00:36:03,223 --> 00:36:06,787
I think the Democrats
have a lot of gift baskets to hand out.
829
00:36:06,828 --> 00:36:08,798
Chris Christie,
the media--
830
00:36:08,831 --> 00:36:10,863
- Whoa.
- Okay. Hold the phone.
831
00:36:10,896 --> 00:36:12,303
I can feel warmth
about to happen.
832
00:36:12,336 --> 00:36:14,302
What media are you talking about
when you say media?
833
00:36:14,335 --> 00:36:16,501
- 'Cause there are a lot of us. ACN?
- Yes.
834
00:36:16,534 --> 00:36:18,403
Ah, well.
Please continue.
835
00:36:18,436 --> 00:36:20,067
I worked in
the Romney press shop
836
00:36:20,108 --> 00:36:22,875
and I can tell you that on average
over the last six months,
837
00:36:22,908 --> 00:36:25,875
News Night did
14 negative stories
838
00:36:25,908 --> 00:36:26,915
about Republicans
to every one...
839
00:36:26,948 --> 00:36:28,083
Hey, Molly.
It's New York.
840
00:36:28,116 --> 00:36:30,054
- Copy.
- Coming to you shortly. Stand by.
841
00:36:30,087 --> 00:36:32,023
If Republicans do
14 crazy things in a month,
842
00:36:32,056 --> 00:36:33,486
does that mean
the unbiased thing to do
843
00:36:33,519 --> 00:36:36,958
would be for us to concoct
13 additional crazy Democrat stories?
844
00:36:36,991 --> 00:36:38,790
- Are we doing this now?
- We're doing this.
845
00:36:38,831 --> 00:36:41,198
- Go to Molly in St. Louis.
- Then let me give you another statistic.
846
00:36:41,231 --> 00:36:44,232
- Almost nobody--
- No, we're going to St. Louis first.
847
00:36:44,265 --> 00:36:47,001
- Okay.
- Molly Sadler is with the McCaskill campaign
848
00:36:47,042 --> 00:36:48,673
at the Omni Convention Center.
849
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:50,873
Molly, do I have to ask
what the mood is there?
850
00:36:50,906 --> 00:36:53,610
I would say the mood
is jubilation, Will.
851
00:37:06,801 --> 00:37:09,796
Is there a chance I can get you
to ask Hallie a favor for me?
852
00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:12,836
- What's the favor?
- I need her to post a story tonight.
853
00:37:12,869 --> 00:37:15,471
Which I've already written--
About the effect the debates had on the outcome.
854
00:37:15,504 --> 00:37:18,112
In this story she quotes Mac,
who's identified
855
00:37:18,145 --> 00:37:19,806
both as the EP of News Night
856
00:37:19,847 --> 00:37:21,813
and a former president
of the Cambridge Union.
857
00:37:21,846 --> 00:37:25,014
That's the only way
to get Wikipedia to change the entry?
858
00:37:25,047 --> 00:37:28,586
- Yeah.
- Are you proud of your army of citizen journalists?
859
00:37:28,659 --> 00:37:30,625
Have you called any more
elections on your own?
860
00:37:30,658 --> 00:37:32,120
- No.
- Just the one?
861
00:37:32,161 --> 00:37:34,560
I'll ask her.
But, you know, she's a little busy.
862
00:37:34,593 --> 00:37:35,929
And ethical.
863
00:37:35,963 --> 00:37:38,766
I'd like to do this
for Mac tonight as a gift.
864
00:37:40,808 --> 00:37:43,805
I'll do it
when I have a minute.
865
00:37:43,838 --> 00:37:45,573
The left doesn't have
a version of the Tea Party.
866
00:37:45,606 --> 00:37:46,942
What's OWS?
867
00:37:46,975 --> 00:37:49,312
There wasn't an OWS candidate
on the ballot tonight.
868
00:37:49,353 --> 00:37:51,753
The left's crazy people
hardly ever run for office.
869
00:37:51,786 --> 00:37:53,416
And when they do,
they don't win.
870
00:37:53,457 --> 00:37:54,854
Who's Allen West on the left?
871
00:37:54,887 --> 00:37:57,055
Who's Joe Walsh
or Michele Bachmann?
872
00:37:57,088 --> 00:37:59,964
A 14-1 ratio of negative stories
and your takeaway is
873
00:37:59,997 --> 00:38:01,366
is that there's a problem
with the storyteller.
874
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,503
What are your thoughts about that,
Taylor Warren?
875
00:38:03,536 --> 00:38:06,300
- Cannot remember the question.
- Any word from Reese?
876
00:38:06,340 --> 00:38:08,771
- He's still walking.
- He's what?
877
00:38:08,804 --> 00:38:10,373
He's walking.
878
00:38:10,406 --> 00:38:13,143
He's walking around
the neighborhood with a Rockette.
879
00:38:13,184 --> 00:38:16,182
Presumably trying to decide
how to announce the personnel changes
880
00:38:16,214 --> 00:38:19,544
and how much money to pay Dantana
to not file in the morning.
881
00:38:20,650 --> 00:38:23,556
- What's a Rockette?
- The dancers.
882
00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:26,018
He's dating a Rockette.
A real one.
883
00:38:29,189 --> 00:38:32,154
Is there anything that'll convince you
it wasn't your fault?
884
00:38:38,057 --> 00:38:39,590
Get together with Sloan
and talk about
885
00:38:39,623 --> 00:38:42,787
a 90-second segment on income
and voting preferences.
886
00:38:42,828 --> 00:38:45,430
- Okay, Jane, we're coming to you.
- If I can jump in...
887
00:38:45,463 --> 00:38:48,169
Let's go to DC for
a whip-around on the Senate.
888
00:38:48,203 --> 00:38:50,799
I have to cut you off there
and throw to Jane Barrow
889
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,606
and our panel in Washington.
890
00:38:52,703 --> 00:38:54,407
Jane, the Republicans
will control the House
891
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,008
and the Democrats
will control the Senate.
892
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,681
A billion dollars later,
are we right back where we were?
893
00:38:58,714 --> 00:39:01,016
- That's the question I want to put to our panel...
- We're out.
894
00:39:01,049 --> 00:39:02,216
DC has the con.
895
00:39:02,249 --> 00:39:03,848
5:30 back.
896
00:39:03,882 --> 00:39:06,050
No.
897
00:39:06,091 --> 00:39:08,426
No what?
898
00:39:08,459 --> 00:39:11,055
There's nothing
that'll convince me.
899
00:39:16,697 --> 00:39:18,834
I just got an e-mail
with an attachment.
900
00:39:18,867 --> 00:39:20,336
- From me?
- Yes.
901
00:39:20,370 --> 00:39:21,937
The attachment was
an article about the effect
902
00:39:21,970 --> 00:39:23,436
of the debates on the election.
903
00:39:23,476 --> 00:39:24,909
- Yeah.
- You know who wrote it?
904
00:39:24,942 --> 00:39:26,416
- Neal.
- Nope.
905
00:39:26,450 --> 00:39:28,080
- I can explain.
- The byline says I did.
906
00:39:28,113 --> 00:39:31,353
- He knew you were busy.
- What the hell is going on?
907
00:39:31,386 --> 00:39:35,261
We need someone
who doesn't work here to post an article
908
00:39:35,294 --> 00:39:37,766
that contains the information
that MacKenzie
909
00:39:37,799 --> 00:39:40,566
was president of the Cambridge Union
and not the Oxford Union
910
00:39:40,599 --> 00:39:43,070
so that Wikipedia
would edit her page.
911
00:39:43,103 --> 00:39:46,469
- You know, now that I'm saying it--
- Not until just now?
912
00:39:46,510 --> 00:39:48,971
- What's the mood there?
- What's the mood there?
913
00:39:49,004 --> 00:39:52,811
- I know. I know.
- Okay, well, I have to go.
914
00:39:52,844 --> 00:39:54,982
It's starting to sink in
that they're gonna lose Florida.
915
00:39:55,015 --> 00:39:57,319
And between you and me,
he didn't write a concession speech.
916
00:39:57,352 --> 00:39:59,822
- Can I ask you something?
- I really do have to go.
917
00:39:59,855 --> 00:40:02,455
So do I, but...
918
00:40:02,488 --> 00:40:04,928
do I ever make you feel
like you're dumb?
919
00:40:04,961 --> 00:40:07,761
Seriously, honey,
what's going on there?
920
00:40:07,802 --> 00:40:11,337
I'm asking because I really like you
and I don't want to blow it.
921
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:14,040
Well, first of all, you're not smart enough
to make me feel like I'm dumb.
922
00:40:14,073 --> 00:40:16,136
I was hoping you'd say that.
923
00:40:16,170 --> 00:40:18,811
And I really like you, too.
You're not blowing it.
924
00:40:18,844 --> 00:40:23,417
I knew there had to be a reason
why I liked you so much.
925
00:40:23,450 --> 00:40:26,183
'Cause just physically,
you're hard to look at.
926
00:40:26,216 --> 00:40:27,982
- You're not so much homely...
- Talk to you soon.
927
00:40:28,015 --> 00:40:29,550
...as you are
just weird-looking.
928
00:40:29,583 --> 00:40:30,815
- Jim.
- Yeah?
929
00:40:30,856 --> 00:40:32,857
Maggie says to tell you
they're 93 votes apart now
930
00:40:32,890 --> 00:40:34,121
and you'd know what that means.
931
00:40:34,162 --> 00:40:35,959
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
932
00:40:38,527 --> 00:40:40,697
The gender income gap
starts at 50K.
933
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:43,234
Men 50K and above
are breaking for Romney.
934
00:40:43,267 --> 00:40:46,072
Women at 50-200K
were more likely to vote for the president.
935
00:40:46,105 --> 00:40:49,576
And it's the top 1%
of female earners that went red.
936
00:40:49,609 --> 00:40:52,209
Now here's where I'd like us to focus
because this is crucial.
937
00:40:52,242 --> 00:40:54,081
- I'm sorry, but they need you.
- Wow.
938
00:40:54,114 --> 00:40:57,512
- They're calling Ohio.
- We're on our way.
939
00:40:57,545 --> 00:41:00,816
You're back in 90 seconds.
We'll pick this up after, okay?
940
00:41:18,704 --> 00:41:21,241
We're calling both,
and we're ready to go to Chicago.
941
00:41:21,274 --> 00:41:22,905
- Tess.
- I'll get estimates from Boston.
942
00:41:22,938 --> 00:41:24,840
- Thank you.
- And let's get Ben standing by.
943
00:41:24,873 --> 00:41:27,478
I don't see Sloan.
Is that Sloan out there?
944
00:41:27,511 --> 00:41:29,942
We'll go without her.
945
00:41:29,975 --> 00:41:32,280
We're calling it.
Get in the studio.
946
00:41:32,313 --> 00:41:35,484
...go blue,
and that takes the president to 262.
947
00:41:35,517 --> 00:41:39,280
At that point, he has a lot
of different roads to 270.
948
00:41:39,313 --> 00:41:42,290
Colorado, Florida, Ohio
and Virginia in that scenario.
949
00:41:42,323 --> 00:41:45,693
Any one of those states
would throw the president over the top.
950
00:41:45,726 --> 00:41:47,795
Getting Mitt Romney
to 270 at this point
951
00:41:47,828 --> 00:41:50,593
seems very, very difficult.
952
00:41:50,626 --> 00:41:52,731
So the president's getting
closer and closer
953
00:41:52,764 --> 00:41:54,636
270.
954
00:41:54,669 --> 00:41:56,602
He's winning in the states
he needs to win...
955
00:41:56,635 --> 00:41:58,864
- What I have can't be taught.
- Get her in the chair!
956
00:41:58,905 --> 00:42:01,166
I mean,
it really started in the last hour
957
00:42:01,199 --> 00:42:03,037
when Florida started
to slip away.
958
00:42:03,070 --> 00:42:05,699
We're hearing from
very unhappy Republicans.
959
00:42:05,740 --> 00:42:08,600
But right now we're going
to Will McAvoy in New York
960
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,839
who's got a new projection.
Will.
961
00:42:14,210 --> 00:42:17,680
It's 11:14 in the East
and ACN is able to project
962
00:42:17,713 --> 00:42:20,550
that Barack Obama
will be living in government housing
963
00:42:20,583 --> 00:42:22,077
for the next four years.
964
00:42:22,118 --> 00:42:23,980
President Obama
has been reelected
965
00:42:24,013 --> 00:42:25,886
President of the United States,
966
00:42:25,919 --> 00:42:28,192
Ohio having just put him
over the top.
967
00:42:28,225 --> 00:42:30,326
Once again,
the ACN decision desk
968
00:42:30,359 --> 00:42:34,157
is calling Ohio and the White House
for President Barack Obama.
969
00:42:34,190 --> 00:42:36,094
We're gonna go live
to Suzannah Marquez
970
00:42:36,127 --> 00:42:38,296
and show you some images
from Chicago
971
00:42:38,337 --> 00:42:39,536
where the celebration
is under way.
972
00:42:39,569 --> 00:42:41,367
Will,
as you can see, the news
973
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,605
has gone through this crowd
and the celebration has begun.
974
00:42:44,638 --> 00:42:46,908
How about
"binders full of women"?
975
00:42:46,941 --> 00:42:49,604
Was the media response to
"binders full of women"
976
00:42:49,644 --> 00:42:50,907
in rational proportion?
977
00:42:50,940 --> 00:42:52,475
That's a perfectly good question.
978
00:42:52,508 --> 00:42:54,411
Thanks,
I was asking it to you.
979
00:42:54,444 --> 00:42:57,243
And now he's losing.
980
00:43:05,958 --> 00:43:08,630
Why'd you cut your hair?
981
00:43:08,663 --> 00:43:10,497
I wanted a change.
982
00:43:10,530 --> 00:43:12,066
I'm not crazy about it either.
983
00:43:12,099 --> 00:43:13,601
The stylist kind of
talked me into it.
984
00:43:13,634 --> 00:43:16,567
- Maybe I'll get used to it.
- There wasn't a stylist.
985
00:43:16,608 --> 00:43:19,070
You cut it yourself.
986
00:43:19,103 --> 00:43:21,278
You cut off your hair
and dyed it a different color.
987
00:43:21,311 --> 00:43:23,676
Lisa told me.
988
00:43:23,709 --> 00:43:25,505
How would Lisa know?
989
00:43:25,538 --> 00:43:28,145
How did you not tell her
what happened in Africa?
990
00:43:28,178 --> 00:43:29,681
- Did you?
- No.
991
00:43:29,714 --> 00:43:31,609
- Don't.
- How did you not tell your best friend?
992
00:43:31,649 --> 00:43:34,278
- It's been a year.
- And it's been a year since we were friends.
993
00:43:34,311 --> 00:43:38,016
He's losing by 17 votes
with 8,000 votes uncounted.
994
00:43:38,049 --> 00:43:40,290
Why did you cut your hair?
995
00:43:41,755 --> 00:43:43,994
He'd never seen
blonde hair before.
996
00:43:44,027 --> 00:43:46,732
While I was reading to him,
he was playing with my hair.
997
00:43:46,765 --> 00:43:49,438
So I cut my hair.
998
00:43:49,471 --> 00:43:51,471
- How'd it work?
- It didn't.
999
00:43:51,504 --> 00:43:54,572
Right.
1000
00:43:54,605 --> 00:43:57,813
I'm trying to find out
where the uncounted votes are, but even if--
1001
00:43:57,846 --> 00:43:59,879
Listen.
Listen for a second.
1002
00:43:59,912 --> 00:44:02,851
You went back
into the building.
1003
00:44:02,891 --> 00:44:05,356
You went back in there.
1004
00:44:05,389 --> 00:44:07,259
You and Gary.
1005
00:44:07,292 --> 00:44:08,890
You pulled him out
from under the bed.
1006
00:44:08,931 --> 00:44:10,563
- You weren't going without him.
- He was safer under the bed.
1007
00:44:10,596 --> 00:44:12,869
Bullshit, Maggie.
1008
00:44:12,902 --> 00:44:16,334
You pulled him out and you carried him
on your back to the bus.
1009
00:44:16,375 --> 00:44:18,006
What was your crime?
1010
00:44:18,039 --> 00:44:22,077
You turned around
when you heard Gary fall down.
1011
00:44:24,414 --> 00:44:28,981
There's a difference
between being tough and wanting to be.
1012
00:44:29,853 --> 00:44:31,914
You and Mac are tough.
1013
00:44:31,947 --> 00:44:34,484
Don's tough.
I want to be.
1014
00:44:35,926 --> 00:44:37,628
You are.
1015
00:44:46,697 --> 00:44:48,865
You know when
I first noticed you?
1016
00:44:48,898 --> 00:44:51,935
When I ran into the room
and got tackled by Mac's luggage?
1017
00:44:51,968 --> 00:44:54,637
Did you know--
1018
00:44:54,670 --> 00:44:58,237
No. It was funny,
but I didn't notice you until later.
1019
00:44:59,741 --> 00:45:02,374
There was a beep.
It was an iNews alert.
1020
00:45:02,407 --> 00:45:04,381
But it was yellow.
1021
00:45:04,414 --> 00:45:06,015
You've got a news alert.
1022
00:45:07,753 --> 00:45:11,185
- Nobody was paying attention to it.
- It was yellow.
1023
00:45:11,226 --> 00:45:13,289
You clicked on it anyway.
1024
00:45:22,396 --> 00:45:24,732
You couldn't help yourself.
1025
00:45:30,575 --> 00:45:32,605
You ran back into the building.
1026
00:45:36,278 --> 00:45:39,277
He's dead and I'm alive.
1027
00:45:41,886 --> 00:45:44,052
That's what I'd keep in mind.
1028
00:45:52,859 --> 00:45:56,129
It's after midnight now
and I feel like I can ask a question.
1029
00:45:56,162 --> 00:45:58,265
- Sure.
- I meant to Will.
1030
00:45:58,298 --> 00:46:00,033
Yes.
1031
00:46:00,066 --> 00:46:02,169
Who did you vote for today?
1032
00:46:02,202 --> 00:46:03,936
You know I'm not
answering that.
1033
00:46:03,969 --> 00:46:05,738
I thought you might
because you revealed
1034
00:46:05,771 --> 00:46:07,741
your party affiliation
on the air last year.
1035
00:46:07,774 --> 00:46:09,278
I did.
I identified myself
1036
00:46:09,311 --> 00:46:11,444
as a Republican
because I thought it was fair
1037
00:46:11,477 --> 00:46:13,810
to give to the viewer given
the commentary I was delivering.
1038
00:46:13,843 --> 00:46:15,113
A commentary
that ended with you
1039
00:46:15,146 --> 00:46:17,381
calling the Tea Party
the American Taliban.
1040
00:46:17,422 --> 00:46:19,718
- Yes.
- And in the body of the commentary
1041
00:46:19,759 --> 00:46:23,221
- was a blistering indictment of Republicans.
- Exactly the opposite.
1042
00:46:23,262 --> 00:46:25,523
It was a blistering indictment of people
who aren't Republicans.
1043
00:46:25,556 --> 00:46:29,092
- Well, who's to say who is and who isn't?
- On that night, I did.
1044
00:46:29,133 --> 00:46:32,100
I want to remind you
you asked me to pursue this area.
1045
00:46:32,133 --> 00:46:35,131
- I understand.
- And I'm wondering, with all respect,
1046
00:46:35,172 --> 00:46:37,297
do you call yourself
a Republican
1047
00:46:37,338 --> 00:46:40,276
so you can make a claim
to credibility
1048
00:46:40,309 --> 00:46:41,942
when you attack the GOP?
1049
00:46:41,975 --> 00:46:44,784
No, I call myself a Republican
'cause I am one.
1050
00:46:44,817 --> 00:46:47,015
I believe in market solutions
1051
00:46:47,048 --> 00:46:48,583
and I believe in
common sense realities
1052
00:46:48,616 --> 00:46:50,921
and the necessity
to defend ourselves
1053
00:46:50,954 --> 00:46:52,922
against a dangerous world
and that's about it.
1054
00:46:52,963 --> 00:46:55,457
Problem is now
I have to be homophobic.
1055
00:46:55,498 --> 00:46:58,560
I have to count the number of times
people go to church.
1056
00:46:58,593 --> 00:47:03,134
I have to deny facts and think scientific
research is a long con.
1057
00:47:03,167 --> 00:47:05,766
I have to think poor people
are getting a sweet ride.
1058
00:47:05,799 --> 00:47:09,237
And I have to have such a stunning
inferiority complex
1059
00:47:09,270 --> 00:47:11,635
that I fear education
and intellect
1060
00:47:11,668 --> 00:47:13,171
in the 21st century.
1061
00:47:13,204 --> 00:47:14,971
But most of all,
the biggest new requirement,
1062
00:47:15,012 --> 00:47:16,540
really the only requirement,
1063
00:47:16,581 --> 00:47:18,716
is that I have
to hate Democrats.
1064
00:47:18,749 --> 00:47:21,887
And I have to hate Chris Christie
for not spitting on the president
1065
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,349
when he got off Air Force One.
1066
00:47:23,383 --> 00:47:26,757
The two-party system
is crucial to the whole operation.
1067
00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:29,188
There's honor in being
the loyal opposition.
1068
00:47:29,220 --> 00:47:32,798
And I'm a Republican
for the same reasons you are.
1069
00:47:32,863 --> 00:47:35,428
So I hope your voice gets louder
in the next four years.
1070
00:47:35,461 --> 00:47:38,834
Well, I don't like losing,
so count on it.
1071
00:47:38,867 --> 00:47:41,003
You know, just jumping
on top of that idea--
1072
00:47:41,068 --> 00:47:42,438
- I'm sorry, Sloan.
- Come on!
1073
00:47:42,471 --> 00:47:44,343
We're gonna go to
Jane Barrow in Washington
1074
00:47:44,376 --> 00:47:46,878
for an update on some
West Coast House races.
1075
00:47:46,911 --> 00:47:48,908
Plenty more coverage
coming tonight. Jane?
1076
00:47:48,941 --> 00:47:51,411
- And clear.
- Are you doing it on purpose now?
1077
00:47:51,444 --> 00:47:54,085
No, it's just working out
unbelievably well.
1078
00:47:59,059 --> 00:48:02,126
You ever read Jedediah Purdy,
For Common Things?
1079
00:48:02,159 --> 00:48:04,459
No.
1080
00:48:04,492 --> 00:48:07,493
He talks about cynical times.
1081
00:48:07,534 --> 00:48:10,767
People having terminal irony
1082
00:48:10,801 --> 00:48:14,500
with a studied refusal
to hope or care openly.
1083
00:48:14,533 --> 00:48:17,338
- Does that sound like us?
- No.
1084
00:48:17,371 --> 00:48:19,309
No.
1085
00:48:19,342 --> 00:48:21,142
Have you asked yourself tonight
1086
00:48:21,175 --> 00:48:23,849
why we never reported
the Petraeus story?
1087
00:48:23,882 --> 00:48:25,551
- The Petraeus?
- Remember?
1088
00:48:25,584 --> 00:48:27,453
David Petraeus
is resigning on Thursday.
1089
00:48:27,486 --> 00:48:30,255
- We didn't report it.
- That's funny. I forgot.
1090
00:48:30,288 --> 00:48:33,693
Yeah. It's because
we never made the trade.
1091
00:48:33,726 --> 00:48:36,893
The decision was
that the other story had information
1092
00:48:36,926 --> 00:48:39,367
voters needed,
the Petraeus story didn't.
1093
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:43,966
Not that many voters.
It would have affected maybe a few thousand, tops.
1094
00:48:43,999 --> 00:48:46,565
In one district, one seat.
1095
00:48:46,606 --> 00:48:49,344
As opposed to breaking
two days early
1096
00:48:49,377 --> 00:48:51,546
what will be a giant story.
1097
00:48:51,579 --> 00:48:54,615
Breaking it in front
of an Election Night audience.
1098
00:48:54,648 --> 00:48:58,617
And the decision to decline the trade
was made instantly
1099
00:48:58,650 --> 00:49:01,227
and unanimously.
1100
00:49:02,693 --> 00:49:04,764
Don pushed back reflexively,
1101
00:49:04,797 --> 00:49:06,658
but he came around
in seven seconds.
1102
00:49:06,699 --> 00:49:08,826
Don.
1103
00:49:12,469 --> 00:49:14,707
We've come a long way.
1104
00:49:17,908 --> 00:49:20,508
I'm not resigning.
1105
00:49:20,541 --> 00:49:22,981
And neither are you.
1106
00:49:23,014 --> 00:49:26,349
What, are we out
of our fucking minds?
1107
00:49:26,422 --> 00:49:29,917
Dantana doctored the tape.
That's what happened, Will.
1108
00:49:29,958 --> 00:49:32,589
We know the truth
and the mob doesn't.
1109
00:49:32,622 --> 00:49:35,999
When did we decide
it was an institutional failure?
1110
00:49:36,032 --> 00:49:39,429
We waited 11 months.
1111
00:49:39,462 --> 00:49:41,498
We know people
who would have gone
1112
00:49:41,531 --> 00:49:45,035
after the second red team meeting
or even the first.
1113
00:49:45,068 --> 00:49:46,837
You agree with what I'm saying?
1114
00:49:46,870 --> 00:49:49,574
I believe, except for the things we did wrong,
we did everything right.
1115
00:49:49,607 --> 00:49:53,444
And I can't live with Mac
taking the blame for--
1116
00:49:53,477 --> 00:49:55,580
We'll get the audience's
trust back.
1117
00:49:55,613 --> 00:49:57,044
Like Leona said,
1118
00:49:57,085 --> 00:50:00,285
we're gonna overcome
the terminal irony.
1119
00:50:00,318 --> 00:50:04,128
And the laundry list
of embarrassing things in the complaint?
1120
00:50:04,161 --> 00:50:06,558
I've got to tell you,
I'm not embarrassed.
1121
00:50:06,591 --> 00:50:09,227
The Zimmerman tape,
Jim going to New Hampshire,
1122
00:50:09,261 --> 00:50:11,493
Sloan punching a guy
in arbitrage--
1123
00:50:11,534 --> 00:50:13,262
I actually like that one.
1124
00:50:16,806 --> 00:50:18,668
I can't tell
what you're thinking.
1125
00:50:21,343 --> 00:50:23,040
Will?
1126
00:50:24,778 --> 00:50:26,416
It's gotten strange now.
1127
00:50:26,449 --> 00:50:28,111
Are you able
to hear me speaking?
1128
00:50:32,288 --> 00:50:35,889
She-- Except for the things she did wrong,
she did everything right, too.
1129
00:50:35,922 --> 00:50:38,298
- The rest was me.
- I'm lost.
1130
00:50:38,331 --> 00:50:40,631
Uh, yes.
1131
00:50:40,696 --> 00:50:43,893
We're going to do
the things you just said
1132
00:50:43,926 --> 00:50:45,935
for the reasons you just gave.
1133
00:50:45,968 --> 00:50:49,365
I missed parts of what
you were saying at the end,
1134
00:50:49,406 --> 00:50:52,774
but that's just
gonna have to be--
1135
00:50:52,807 --> 00:50:55,343
I'll be right back.
Yes!
1136
00:50:55,376 --> 00:50:57,343
Way to go.
1137
00:50:58,711 --> 00:51:01,550
Yeah, no,
I'm definitely resigning.
1138
00:51:19,537 --> 00:51:21,198
Does anyone know
where MacKenzie is?
1139
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:22,967
- I think she's in the hair and makeup room.
- She's not.
1140
00:51:23,007 --> 00:51:25,473
- Did you look in her office?
- So, no, no one knows where she is?
1141
00:51:25,506 --> 00:51:27,979
We're back in seven minutes,
so she's gonna turn up.
1142
00:51:31,418 --> 00:51:33,112
- Have you seen Mac?
- I haven't.
1143
00:51:33,153 --> 00:51:34,753
But I have facts about
the Great Lakes region.
1144
00:51:34,786 --> 00:51:37,186
Right this moment is the least I've ever cared
about the Great Lakes region.
1145
00:51:37,219 --> 00:51:39,657
Has anyone seen Mac?
1146
00:51:39,690 --> 00:51:41,824
I'm right here.
1147
00:51:43,225 --> 00:51:45,299
Okay. I didn't--
1148
00:51:53,076 --> 00:51:56,302
- Could you come here away from the cameras?
- Yeah.
1149
00:51:58,174 --> 00:52:00,340
There's-- Okay, okay--
1150
00:52:00,373 --> 00:52:01,909
- There's a story.
- What?
1151
00:52:01,942 --> 00:52:04,278
There's a story about
a little kid who keeps shredding paper
1152
00:52:04,311 --> 00:52:07,446
and his parents take him to all kinds of doctors
to get him to stop shredding paper.
1153
00:52:07,479 --> 00:52:09,883
And finally they take him to
the most expensive doctor in the world
1154
00:52:09,916 --> 00:52:12,282
who turns to the kid and he says,
"Kid, if you stop shredding paper,
1155
00:52:12,315 --> 00:52:14,219
your parents will stop
dragging you to doctors."
1156
00:52:14,252 --> 00:52:18,423
And the kid turns to his parents and says,
"Why didn't you just say so?"
1157
00:52:20,862 --> 00:52:23,058
- Well, all right, then.
- The point of the story
1158
00:52:23,091 --> 00:52:26,994
is that the kid could make himself happy
by just stopping.
1159
00:52:27,035 --> 00:52:28,499
I think that's the point.
I don't know.
1160
00:52:28,532 --> 00:52:31,575
I've been trying
to figure it out.
1161
00:52:31,608 --> 00:52:34,007
But I didn't return it.
1162
00:52:35,208 --> 00:52:36,775
Because I'm in love with you.
1163
00:52:36,815 --> 00:52:38,583
- What did you say?
- And because of-- Will you marry me?
1164
00:52:38,616 --> 00:52:40,151
- Wait.
- I said will you marry me?
1165
00:52:40,184 --> 00:52:42,119
And before that,
I said I'm in love with you.
1166
00:52:42,152 --> 00:52:43,783
That's-- that's--
That's what I'm getting at.
1167
00:52:43,816 --> 00:52:46,151
I feel like I can do this so much better
if I can have a second.
1168
00:52:46,191 --> 00:52:47,590
What in the fuck
is happening right now?
1169
00:52:47,623 --> 00:52:51,622
If-- if I--
I don't ever want to not be-- No.
1170
00:52:51,663 --> 00:52:54,197
I love you. I'm gonna go back to that.
And will you marry me?
1171
00:52:54,230 --> 00:52:57,427
And let me just say I really think you should.
I think you should say yes.
1172
00:52:57,460 --> 00:52:59,426
But no matter what you say,
1173
00:52:59,466 --> 00:53:02,466
there's no chance
I am ever gonna hurt you again.
1174
00:53:02,499 --> 00:53:05,937
And no matter what you say,
I'm gonna be in love with you for the rest of my life.
1175
00:53:05,970 --> 00:53:08,473
There's no way out of that.
That's just a physical law of the universe.
1176
00:53:08,506 --> 00:53:10,670
- You own me. No matter what you say...
- Yes.
1177
00:53:10,703 --> 00:53:14,238
- ...I will never stop--
- Yes. I'm saying yes.
1178
00:53:18,016 --> 00:53:19,512
You're saying yes?
1179
00:53:21,986 --> 00:53:23,554
Yes.
1180
00:53:26,857 --> 00:53:28,454
Thank God.
1181
00:53:42,539 --> 00:53:44,211
Took you long enough.
1182
00:53:44,244 --> 00:53:46,443
Seriously?
That's what your--
1183
00:53:46,476 --> 00:53:48,042
Shut it.
1184
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:00,861
So your mother was a Rockette?
1185
00:54:00,894 --> 00:54:02,729
That's right.
And her mother, too.
1186
00:54:02,762 --> 00:54:04,527
- Third generation Rockette?
- Yes.
1187
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:05,960
How great is that?
1188
00:54:05,993 --> 00:54:08,200
- And if you were to have a daughter...
- Crazy lady.
1189
00:54:08,233 --> 00:54:09,801
...which would be
my granddaughter,
1190
00:54:09,834 --> 00:54:12,202
would it be important to you
that she also be a Rockette?
1191
00:54:12,235 --> 00:54:13,841
- I don't think important, but if she--
- Okay, good.
1192
00:54:13,874 --> 00:54:16,273
- Charlie.
- 'Cause over here you have a Harvard MBA.
1193
00:54:16,306 --> 00:54:20,111
Over here you have a line
of synchronized nutcrackers.
1194
00:54:20,144 --> 00:54:21,943
- Charlie.
- Reese.
1195
00:54:21,976 --> 00:54:24,814
Leona.
Rebecca.
1196
00:54:24,847 --> 00:54:27,450
- I'm sorry, I don't know who--
- Jackie. I'm here with Reese.
1197
00:54:27,483 --> 00:54:30,322
Third generation Rockette.
That's how we roll.
1198
00:54:30,355 --> 00:54:32,392
I've studied the findings
of the report
1199
00:54:32,426 --> 00:54:33,888
and I've consulted with counsel
1200
00:54:33,921 --> 00:54:36,423
and I've reached the conclusion
that the news division
1201
00:54:36,456 --> 00:54:39,363
handled Genoa as well
as I'd want it handled.
1202
00:54:39,396 --> 00:54:42,098
Furthermore, this company
will give Dantana money
1203
00:54:42,131 --> 00:54:44,600
when a federal judge
orders us to do so.
1204
00:54:44,633 --> 00:54:47,809
And furthermore after that,
I don't take my instructions
1205
00:54:47,842 --> 00:54:49,379
from a petition.
1206
00:54:49,412 --> 00:54:51,981
If you read Jedediah Purdy's excellent book
For Common Things--
1207
00:54:52,014 --> 00:54:53,979
What, did you e-mail
everybody excerpts?
1208
00:54:54,012 --> 00:54:56,343
- Yep.
- I'm not accepting your resignations.
1209
00:54:56,376 --> 00:54:59,247
We're not resigning.
1210
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,720
That's fine, but I'm surprising you
by taking the high road
1211
00:55:02,753 --> 00:55:04,553
- and I'm not accepting your resignations.
- We're not offering them.
1212
00:55:04,586 --> 00:55:06,122
This isn't about
the bottom line.
1213
00:55:06,163 --> 00:55:08,131
This is a bad business decision,
but it's a good decision.
1214
00:55:08,164 --> 00:55:09,931
- I'm doing the right thing.
- There's no right thing to do.
1215
00:55:09,964 --> 00:55:11,700
I've already made the decision
that we're staying.
1216
00:55:11,733 --> 00:55:14,173
The wrong thing to do
would be to accept your resignation.
1217
00:55:14,206 --> 00:55:16,302
That's not an option,
'cause we're not offering them.
1218
00:55:16,343 --> 00:55:19,846
- You two about done?
- History should reflect that I acted admirably.
1219
00:55:19,879 --> 00:55:21,678
There's really no way
of knowing that.
1220
00:55:21,711 --> 00:55:23,780
Is it possible the greater glory
belongs to me?
1221
00:55:23,813 --> 00:55:26,645
You're all idiots.
Not you, you're sweet.
1222
00:55:26,685 --> 00:55:30,350
Everyone, just listen up
for just a second.
1223
00:55:30,390 --> 00:55:31,756
This'll just take a second.
1224
00:55:31,789 --> 00:55:33,388
First of all,
no one's resigning.
1225
00:55:33,421 --> 00:55:35,290
And the only reason you need
is 'cause I said so.
1226
00:55:35,323 --> 00:55:37,890
Also I think we're just starting to
get the hang of this.
1227
00:55:37,923 --> 00:55:40,226
More importantly,
I would like to introduce
1228
00:55:40,259 --> 00:55:45,232
the future Mrs. MacKenzie
Morgan McHale McAv--
1229
00:55:45,265 --> 00:55:47,034
That's not gonna work.
1230
00:55:49,833 --> 00:55:51,306
What?!
1231
00:55:52,540 --> 00:55:54,445
- I'll be damned!
- I know.
1232
00:55:54,478 --> 00:55:57,581
I know.
I know.
1233
00:56:23,940 --> 00:56:26,608
- Wake him up.
- Cynthia's office should draft a statement.
1234
00:56:26,641 --> 00:56:28,702
Let's start identifying
who our friends are.
1235
00:56:28,735 --> 00:56:30,069
That shouldn't take long.
1236
00:56:59,709 --> 00:57:01,505
What did you do?
1237
00:57:01,538 --> 00:57:03,313
I wrote it myself.
1238
00:57:03,346 --> 00:57:05,410
A gift from new media.
1239
00:57:05,483 --> 00:57:07,420
Thanks for that
Romney interview.
1240
00:57:48,544 --> 00:57:53,386
