00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,999
Good evening.
I'm Bradley Whitford.

2
00:00:07,023 --> 00:00:08,989
And in 1999,

3
00:00:09,013 --> 00:00:11,997
I walked onto Stage 17
on the Warner Bros. lot

4
00:00:12,021 --> 00:00:15,983
to shoot the first episode
of "The West Wing."

5
00:00:16,007 --> 00:00:18,985
21 years later, we've gotten
the band back together

6
00:00:19,009 --> 00:00:22,981
here at the Orpheum Theater
in downtown Los Angeles...

7
00:00:23,005 --> 00:00:25,980
And under the strictest
COVID protocol...

8
00:00:26,004 --> 00:00:28,991
To benefit a non-profit,
non-partisan organization

9
00:00:29,015 --> 00:00:31,022
called When We All Vote.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,979
We went to When We All Vote
and said,

11
00:00:34,003 --> 00:00:35,363
"You guys are
a great organization.

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,983
You're helping
to get out the vote

13
00:00:37,007 --> 00:00:38,167
and combat voter suppression.

14
00:00:39,001 --> 00:00:40,995
What can we, the People's Choice
Award-nominated

15
00:00:41,019 --> 00:00:43,984
cast of 'The West Wing, '
do to help?"

16
00:00:44,008 --> 00:00:46,986
They thought about it a moment
and said, "Nothing.

17
00:00:47,010 --> 00:00:49,988
You have no skills or experience
that can help us in any way.

18
00:00:50,012 --> 00:00:52,022
Why don't you go put on
one of your little shows

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,986
where everything works out
in the end?"

20
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:58,986
And so, forgetting to factor
for sarcasm, we said, "Sure!"

21
00:00:59,010 --> 00:01:00,978
We're going to do
a staged reading

22
00:01:01,002 --> 00:01:03,023
of an episode called
"Hartsfield's Landing,"

23
00:01:04,001 --> 00:01:06,081
and in the act breaks,
you'll hear from cast members,

24
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,980
friends, and special guests.

25
00:01:10,004 --> 00:01:13,979
We understand that some people
don't fully appreciate

26
00:01:14,003 --> 00:01:17,981
the benefit of unsolicited
advice from actors.

27
00:01:18,005 --> 00:01:18,999
We do know that.

28
00:01:19,023 --> 00:01:21,994
And if HBO was willing
to point a camera

29
00:01:22,018 --> 00:01:24,023
at the 10 smartest people
in America,

30
00:01:25,001 --> 00:01:27,023
we'd gladly clear
the stage for them.

31
00:01:28,001 --> 00:01:29,981
But the camera's pointed at us,

32
00:01:30,005 --> 00:01:32,023
and we feel,
at a time like this,

33
00:01:33,001 --> 00:01:34,992
that the risk
of appearing obnoxious

34
00:01:35,016 --> 00:01:37,980
is too small a reason
to stay quiet

35
00:01:38,004 --> 00:01:41,993
if we can get even
one new voter to vote.

36
00:01:42,017 --> 00:01:44,992
Finally, as many of you know,

37
00:01:45,016 --> 00:01:50,023
during the final season
of our show, John Spencer died.

38
00:01:51,001 --> 00:01:54,988
John was a revered and
beloved member of the company

Leo McGarry,

we know John would have admired.

43

For the last few years,
he's been starring

The Prime Minister plays chess?

Chess was invented in India.
Somewhere around 600 A.D.

70
00:03:13,007 --> 00:03:16,984
A gigantic chessboard was
constructed at Fatephur Sikri,

which was the capital
a long time ago,

72
00:03:19,009 --> 00:03:20,991
and human figures
were used as chess pieces

and moved at the Emperor's will.

it's something

All of us, every one of us,
has to vote in this election.

437
00:19:35,022 --> 00:19:37,987
If you see brutality

you have to vote
in this election.

440

If you see science mocked and
politicized in a health crisis

442
00:19:51,002 --> 00:19:53,979
you have to vote
in this election.

443
00:19:54,003 --> 00:19:54,992
If you see
a nation of immigrants

444
00:19:55,016 --> 00:19:56,983

445
00:19:57,007 --> 00:20:00,995
and know we're all more decent

446
00:20:01,019 --> 00:20:04,990
more Godly
and more American than that,

447
00:20:05,014 --> 00:20:07,998
you have to vote
in this election.

448
00:20:08,022 --> 00:20:10,022
Our politics today are a far cry

449
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,986
from the romantic vision
of "The West Wing,"

450
00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:13,997
but it's also a far cry

451
00:20:14,021 --> 00:20:16,998
from the vision that's
in our heads and our hearts.

452
00:20:17,022 --> 00:20:20,994
And to change that,
you have to vote.

453

When We All Vote was created by
Democrats and Republicans alike

the America we need to be,

456
00:20:32,005 --> 00:20:34,998
to close the race gap in voting
so every person of color

457
00:20:35,022 --> 00:20:38,984
has a chance to strike back
against injustice,

458
00:20:39,008 --> 00:20:40,995
and to remind every American

459

that our democracy
doesn't run automatically.

460

00:21:18,017 --> 00:21:20,986
Jed Bartlet's communications
director, Toby Ziegler,

471
00:21:21,010 --> 00:21:23,997
once said, "Our government
should be a place

472
00:21:24,021 --> 00:21:28,987
where we all come together
and no one gets left behind.

473
00:21:29,011 --> 00:21:31,984
An instrument of good."

474
00:21:32,008 --> 00:21:34,998
An unattainable TV fantasy?

475
00:21:35,022 --> 00:21:37,988
Why?

476
00:21:38,012 --> 00:21:40,023
Vote.

477
00:21:41,001 --> 00:21:41,993
Emily: "Act Two.

478
00:21:42,017 --> 00:21:43,997
Interior mural room... night.

479
00:21:44,021 --> 00:21:46,990
Nancy and Leo
sit with the Chinese Ambassador

480
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,986
and a member of his staff."

481
00:21:49,010 --> 00:21:50,992
Nancy: Mr. Ambassador...
Ambassador: Excuse me, please...

482
00:21:51,016 --> 00:21:52,978
There's a purpose
to this meeting.

483
00:21:53,002 --> 00:21:54,984
You have discovered
that calling us reckless

484
00:21:55,008 --> 00:21:55,991
is not working.

485
00:21:56,015 --> 00:21:59,981
Taiwan is a geostrategic center
for commerce.

486
00:22:00,005 --> 00:22:01,982
It sits on an oil lane for Asia

487
00:22:02,006 --> 00:22:02,991
to the Middle East...
Excuse me...

488
00:22:03,015 --> 00:22:04,984
And unnecessarily
militarizing...

489
00:22:05,008 --> 00:22:07,982
Madam...
Unnecessarily militarizing

490
00:22:08,006 --> 00:22:09,996
on such a large scale
is in fact reckless.

491
00:22:10,020 --> 00:22:12,022
Taiwan is a part of China

492
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,991
and not a protectorate
of the United States,

493
00:22:15,015 --> 00:22:17,979
and it is your actions
that are an encroachment

494
00:22:18,003 --> 00:22:18,991
on Chinese sovereignty

495
00:22:19,015 --> 00:22:21,983
and an interference
in internal affairs.

496
00:22:22,007 --> 00:22:24,981
Our battle carrier groups
are in international waters.

497
00:22:25,005 --> 00:22:25,993
Are you claiming jurisdiction?

498
00:22:26,017 --> 00:22:27,981
No. Then let's settle down.

499
00:22:28,005 --> 00:22:29,988
The Shanghai communique says...
Sir...

500
00:22:30,012 --> 00:22:31,252
The Shanghai communique says...

501
00:22:32,001 --> 00:22:33,980
Says that there is but one China

502
00:22:34,004 --> 00:22:34,995
and that Taiwan
is part of China,

503
00:22:35,019 --> 00:22:36,299
and the United States Government

504
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,989
does not challenge
that position.

505
00:22:38,013 --> 00:22:40,987
The U.S. is only interested
in a peaceful settlement

506
00:22:41,011 --> 00:22:42,995
of the Taiwan question
by the Chinese themselves.

507
00:22:43,019 --> 00:22:45,979
A settlement which is not
best facilitated

508
00:22:46,003 --> 00:22:46,997
by the U.S.
selling arms to Taiwan.

509
00:22:47,021 --> 00:22:48,987
That's not on the table
in this meeting.

510
00:22:49,011 --> 00:22:51,984
This year's arms sale package
was the biggest in a decade.

511
00:22:52,008 --> 00:22:54,999
Four Kidd-Class Destroyers,
12 anti-submarine P-3 Orions,

512
00:22:55,023 --> 00:22:56,980
you approved the AMRAAMs.

513
00:22:57,004 --> 00:22:59,006
That's not on the table.

514
00:23:01,008 --> 00:23:03,978
I have said what was to be said.

515
00:23:04,002 --> 00:23:05,993
Taiwan's reunification
with the mainland

516
00:23:06,017 --> 00:23:08,985
is the will
of all Chinese people.

517
00:23:09,009 --> 00:23:10,992
And just so we understand
each other,

518
00:23:11,016 --> 00:23:15,984
the moment we see them testing
their U.S.-built Patriots

519
00:23:16,008 --> 00:23:20,984
is the moment you will see us
testing our CSS-6 missiles.

520
00:23:21,008 --> 00:23:22,985
Thank you.

521
00:23:23,009 --> 00:23:25,012
Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.

522
00:23:31,008 --> 00:23:31,982
How'd it go?

523
00:23:32,006 --> 00:23:33,246
They're not voting for us. Why?

524
00:23:34,001 --> 00:23:36,980
'Cause the Old Perrin Pulp Mill
is still idle after five years.

525
00:23:37,004 --> 00:23:38,985
If it's been five years,
then why's it our fault?

526
00:23:39,009 --> 00:23:39,997
'Cause instead of protecting
American jobs,

527
00:23:40,021 --> 00:23:41,981
we're letting
Canadian pulp importers

528
00:23:42,005 --> 00:23:42,985
take over their market share.

529
00:23:43,009 --> 00:23:43,995
It's called free trade.

530
00:23:44,019 --> 00:23:46,978
It's also called why the
Flenders aren't voting for us.

531
00:23:47,002 --> 00:23:47,997
Didn't you talk up
our accomplishments?

532
00:23:48,021 --> 00:23:49,995
I couldn't think of them.
Donna...

533
00:23:50,019 --> 00:23:51,985
They don't care
about our accomplishments,

534
00:23:52,009 --> 00:23:53,985
they care about the market
for away-from-home paper towels

535
00:23:54,009 --> 00:23:55,990
and tissue products.

536
00:23:56,014 --> 00:23:57,992
Can I give them a commitment?

537
00:23:58,016 --> 00:24:00,996
- A commitment?
- Yeah.

538
00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:02,982
No!

539
00:24:03,006 --> 00:24:05,994
We're not making a trade
commitment to the Flenders.

540
00:24:06,018 --> 00:24:08,994
We are not for protectionism.
Neither are the Republicans.

541
00:24:09,018 --> 00:24:11,985
Tell 'em the President is good
for the economy overall.

542
00:24:12,009 --> 00:24:13,983
They say he's bad
for the economy.

543
00:24:14,007 --> 00:24:15,984
Tell 'em we're for
affordable health care.

544
00:24:16,008 --> 00:24:17,986
What's affordable if you've
lost your job at the pulp mill?

545
00:24:18,010 --> 00:24:18,998
The Flenders don't work
at the pulp mill!

546
00:24:19,022 --> 00:24:20,987
<i>Nobody works</i> at the pulp mill!

547
00:24:21,011 --> 00:24:23,023
Alright.

548
00:24:24,001 --> 00:24:24,997
If Canada's making cheaper pulp,

549
00:24:25,021 --> 00:24:26,998
then New Hampshire
needs to diversify.

550
00:24:27,022 --> 00:24:30,982
That's why the President
has allocated $500 million

551
00:24:31,006 --> 00:24:32,980
for trade adjustment assistance.

552
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:34,994
That's why... Write this down...
That's why the President

553
00:24:35,018 --> 00:24:36,995
has tripled small business
start-up loans.

554
00:24:37,019 --> 00:24:40,982
That's why he's balancing
the budget. Go. Go.

555
00:24:41,006 --> 00:24:43,018
It's so warm in here. Go.

556
00:24:48,001 --> 00:24:48,992
[ Charlie sighs ]

557
00:24:49,016 --> 00:24:49,994
Donna. Yeah.

558
00:24:50,018 --> 00:24:51,980
You haven't by any chance
seen my copy

559
00:24:52,004 --> 00:24:52,992
of the President's
private schedule, have you?

560
00:24:53,016 --> 00:24:54,985
I don't think so.
It's stamped D-12.

561
00:24:55,009 --> 00:24:55,990
I haven't seen it.

562
00:24:56,014 --> 00:24:58,985
Thanks.

563
00:24:59,009 --> 00:25:01,981
Hey, Charlie.
Listen, you haven't
by any chance seen my copy

564
00:25:02,005 --> 00:25:03,994
of the President's
private schedule, have you?
No.

565
00:25:04,018 --> 00:25:05,993
I'm trying to retrace where
I've been in the last hour.

566
00:25:06,017 --> 00:25:07,991
I-I was here. I was in the mess.

567
00:25:08,015 --> 00:25:10,018
I went back to my desk.

568
00:25:14,003 --> 00:25:15,019
Excuse me.

569
00:25:24,007 --> 00:25:25,983
Hello. Chaz.

570
00:25:26,007 --> 00:25:26,993
You wouldn't happen to know
where my copy

571
00:25:27,017 --> 00:25:29,022
of the private schedule is,
would you?

572
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,987
Did you lose it?
I don't believe I did, no.

573
00:25:32,011 --> 00:25:32,993
Yet you don't have it.

574
00:25:33,017 --> 00:25:34,992
Odd. He'd like you for a moment.

575
00:25:35,016 --> 00:25:36,994
Thank you. Where is it?

576
00:25:37,018 --> 00:25:38,979
How would I know? Where is it?

577
00:25:39,003 --> 00:25:39,999
I just hope you didn't
leave the building with it.

578
00:25:40,023 --> 00:25:41,996
Give it up, tiny.
No, I think you're gonna wanna

579
00:25:42,020 --> 00:25:44,999
talk nicer to me than that,
'cause when a reporter finds it,

580
00:25:45,023 --> 00:25:47,979
they're gonna come to me,
and that thing is stamped D-12,

581
00:25:48,003 --> 00:25:49,992
'cause you signed it out D-12,
and rules are rules.

582
00:25:50,016 --> 00:25:50,998
Funny. What?

583
00:25:51,022 --> 00:25:53,979
I never told you it was D-12.

584
00:25:54,003 --> 00:25:54,984
How 'bout that.

585
00:25:55,008 --> 00:25:55,994
Look... You'll find it

586
00:25:56,018 --> 00:25:59,982
in your filing cabinet
under "A" for "Anal."

587
00:26:00,006 --> 00:26:01,979
I don't really want to know
what he's gonna find

588
00:26:02,003 --> 00:26:03,995
in his filing cabinet, do you?
No.

589
00:26:04,019 --> 00:26:08,993
The CVW-9 Carrier Air Wing
which has the FA-18C Hornets,

590
00:26:09,017 --> 00:26:12,988
EA-6B Prowlers, S3-B Vikings...

591
00:26:13,012 --> 00:26:15,980
Bartlet: I don't want
to force 'em into a crouch.

592
00:26:16,004 --> 00:26:18,993
No, sir, but the first concern
is sufficient defense

593
00:26:19,017 --> 00:26:21,989
against air, surface,
and sub-surface threats.

594
00:26:22,013 --> 00:26:24,985
Okay. Thank you, Mr. President.

595
00:26:25,009 --> 00:26:25,994
Leo: C.J. Yeah.

596
00:26:26,018 --> 00:26:27,990
I want you to leak it
to two or three sources

597
00:26:28,014 --> 00:26:29,983
the USS <i>Carl Vinson's</i> gonna do

598
00:26:30,007 --> 00:26:31,997
what's called a passing exercise
with the <i>Independence.</i>

599
00:26:32,021 --> 00:26:34,979
We want South China media
to pick it up right away.

600
00:26:35,003 --> 00:26:35,986
Sure.

601
00:26:36,010 --> 00:26:36,991
Mr. President? Yeah.

602
00:26:37,015 --> 00:26:38,999
Can you see Toby a moment? Yeah.

603
00:26:39,023 --> 00:26:40,986
Give us a minute, would you?

604
00:26:41,010 --> 00:26:41,996
I'll let you know
when there's something new.

605
00:26:42,020 --> 00:26:43,987
Thanks.

606
00:26:44,011 --> 00:26:45,986
Good evening, Mr. President.
Welcome back.

607
00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:46,997
Thank you.

608
00:26:47,021 --> 00:26:49,994
I think this note was delivered
to me by mistake.

609
00:26:50,018 --> 00:26:51,999
What's it say?
"Come play chess."

610
00:26:52,023 --> 00:26:53,991
No, that's for you.

611
00:26:54,015 --> 00:26:57,023
It says, "Sigmund,
come play chess."

612
00:26:58,001 --> 00:26:59,023
That was a joke.

613
00:27:00,001 --> 00:27:02,000
Not so funny?

614
00:27:04,007 --> 00:27:04,997
That's a beautiful chess set.

615
00:27:05,021 --> 00:27:06,995
It's a gift for you. Really?

616
00:27:07,019 --> 00:27:09,981
Yeah, it's hand-carved,

617
00:27:10,005 --> 00:27:11,991
and it belonged to the Prime
Minister's grandfather,

618
00:27:12,015 --> 00:27:14,980
who used it to play
Lord Mountbatten.

619
00:27:15,004 --> 00:27:15,987
I'm surprised she gave it away.

620
00:27:16,011 --> 00:27:17,980
Nah, she didn't.
We just boosted it

621
00:27:18,004 --> 00:27:18,991
on the way out of the palace.

622
00:27:19,015 --> 00:27:20,980
I got some little bottles
of shampoo

623
00:27:21,004 --> 00:27:22,988
and some conditioner, too.

624
00:27:23,012 --> 00:27:24,982
Well, it's
a beautiful gift, sir.

625
00:27:25,006 --> 00:27:25,988
Sit down.

626
00:27:26,012 --> 00:27:27,983
I wouldn't want
to take your time tonight.

627
00:27:28,007 --> 00:27:28,991
Come on, man.
You were outta line.

628
00:27:29,015 --> 00:27:31,982
I was a jackass.
Let's call a truce.

629
00:27:32,006 --> 00:27:34,022
Well, I certainly do
apologize, sir.

630
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:35,994
Let's play chess.
Aren't you in the middle

631
00:27:36,018 --> 00:27:37,982
of a game with Sam?

632
00:27:38,006 --> 00:27:40,984
Yeah, he's 1, 2, 4,

633
00:27:41,008 --> 00:27:44,982
8, 12 moves away from checkmate.

634
00:27:45,006 --> 00:27:46,996
12 moves? Yeah.

635
00:27:47,020 --> 00:27:49,983
You're white.

636
00:27:50,007 --> 00:27:52,982
Lord Mountbatten
used to play with this set?

637
00:27:53,006 --> 00:27:56,987
With Jawaharlal Nehru
where they came to an agreement

638
00:27:57,011 --> 00:27:59,023
over the necessity
of India's independence.

639
00:28:00,001 --> 00:28:00,989
An appropriate topic
for the evening.

640
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:03,978
Nah, Taiwan's not
gonna be our topic.

641
00:28:04,002 --> 00:28:05,985
Ah, the Evans Gambit.

642
00:28:06,009 --> 00:28:07,983
There's no such thing
as the Evans Gambit.

643
00:28:08,007 --> 00:28:10,997
A variation of
the Giuoco Piano opening,

644
00:28:11,021 --> 00:28:13,987
named after British sea captain
W.D. Evans

645
00:28:14,011 --> 00:28:15,986
who invented it in 1820.

646
00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:17,978
Don't tell me chess moves.

647
00:28:18,002 --> 00:28:18,986
I moved my pawn.

648
00:28:19,010 --> 00:28:21,992
Well it's as popular today
as it was back then.

649
00:28:22,016 --> 00:28:23,989
Okay. What is?

650
00:28:24,013 --> 00:28:25,022
I'm sorry?

651
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,993
What's our topic?

652
00:28:27,017 --> 00:28:29,979
Ah, re-election

653
00:28:30,003 --> 00:28:31,983
and the Bartlet psychosis.

654
00:28:32,007 --> 00:28:34,988
Seems to me we didn't do very
well the last time we were here.

655
00:28:35,012 --> 00:28:37,981
So we get right back
on the horse.

656
00:28:38,005 --> 00:28:39,999
I was outta line.
I really do apologize.

657
00:28:40,023 --> 00:28:43,023
You apologized already,
so let's get back on the horse.

658
00:28:44,001 --> 00:28:45,996
Well, neither one of us
ride horses.

659
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:49,982
That makes it more likely
we'll learn something.

660
00:28:50,006 --> 00:28:50,990
Charlie: Sir? Yeah.

661
00:28:51,014 --> 00:28:53,980
Sam says, "Bishop
to queen's knight's three."

662
00:28:54,004 --> 00:28:55,981
Ah.

663
00:28:56,005 --> 00:28:57,022
Excuse me.

664
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,023
11 moves.

665
00:29:18,017 --> 00:29:25,999
♪♪

666
00:29:26,023 --> 00:29:30,023
I'm Bradley Whitford,
and this is Marlee Matlin.

667
00:29:31,001 --> 00:29:32,988
Interpreter: Do you want to hear
some behind-the-scenes trivia

668
00:29:33,012 --> 00:29:33,998
about Brad?

669
00:29:34,022 --> 00:29:36,985
On the set, in Josh's office,
he used to keep

670
00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:39,994
a small stuffed animal
in his bottom right drawer.

671
00:29:40,018 --> 00:29:41,981
He would look
at the stuffed animal

672
00:29:42,005 --> 00:29:43,985
right before the director
would call action,

673
00:29:44,009 --> 00:29:46,986
and somehow, the stuffed animal
would reassure Brad

674
00:29:47,010 --> 00:29:48,999
that he was just as good
as everyone else in the cast.

675
00:29:49,023 --> 00:29:51,988
Okay, well, none of that story
was true.

676
00:29:52,012 --> 00:29:54,986
I think it was a bunny.
There was no bunny.

677
00:29:55,010 --> 00:29:55,995
His name was Hoppity.

678
00:29:56,019 --> 00:29:58,997
The imaginary rabbit's name
wasn't Hoppity.

679
00:29:59,021 --> 00:30:00,993
Well, he wasn't imaginary
to you,

680
00:30:01,017 --> 00:30:03,979
and that's all that matters.
Marlee and I are here

681
00:30:04,003 --> 00:30:07,023
to clarify a few misconceptions
about mail-in voting.

682
00:30:08,001 --> 00:30:09,986
And what better way
to clarify something

683
00:30:10,010 --> 00:30:11,986
than with sign language.

684
00:30:12,010 --> 00:30:15,022
I know a sign that's pretty
much universally understood.

685
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,990
One misconception
is that voter fraud is something

686
00:30:19,014 --> 00:30:20,988
that... what's the word?

687
00:30:21,012 --> 00:30:22,982
Exists. Right.

688
00:30:23,006 --> 00:30:24,986
One misconception
is that voter fraud

689
00:30:25,010 --> 00:30:27,978
is something that exists.

690
00:30:28,002 --> 00:30:28,984
In the last 20 years,

691
00:30:29,008 --> 00:30:30,994
over 250 million ballots
have been cast,

692
00:30:31,018 --> 00:30:34,985
and there have been
143 instances of voter fraud.

693
00:30:35,009 --> 00:30:36,991
143,000?

694
00:30:37,015 --> 00:30:38,999
No, just 143.

695
00:30:39,023 --> 00:30:42,984
That averages to one case
per state every six years,

696
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:47,980
for a fraud rate of 0.00006%.

697
00:30:48,004 --> 00:30:48,998
Another worry seems to be

698
00:30:49,022 --> 00:30:52,983
a ballot might be sent
to your dog.

699
00:30:53,007 --> 00:30:53,988
I do worry about that.

700
00:30:54,012 --> 00:30:55,991
Well, Marlee, you shouldn't.

701
00:30:56,015 --> 00:30:57,993
Because if a ballot
were sent to your dog,

702
00:30:58,017 --> 00:30:59,997
and your dog opened his own mail

703
00:31:00,021 --> 00:31:03,981
and filled out the ballot,
his signature on the ballot

704
00:31:04,005 --> 00:31:04,995
would have to match
the signature

705
00:31:05,019 --> 00:31:08,979
your dog has on file
with the election commission.

706
00:31:09,003 --> 00:31:10,986
Well, I think if my dog
could pull that off,

707
00:31:11,010 --> 00:31:12,983
his vote should count.

708
00:31:13,007 --> 00:31:14,022
Say, Brad? Yes?

709
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:15,995
I'm concerned
that a foreign country

710
00:31:16,019 --> 00:31:19,990
could print millions
of counterfeit ballots.

711
00:31:20,014 --> 00:31:23,979
Stop your worries,
because that can't happen.

712
00:31:24,003 --> 00:31:24,997
Why not? For the same reason

713
00:31:25,021 --> 00:31:27,993
a foreign country
can't print a trillion dollars

714
00:31:28,017 --> 00:31:29,982
and buy the U.S. Navy.

715
00:31:30,006 --> 00:31:31,999
Look, every state and locality

716
00:31:32,023 --> 00:31:33,997
has it's own
security protections,

717
00:31:34,021 --> 00:31:37,987
but they're considerable, so
let's take just one example...

718
00:31:38,011 --> 00:31:40,993
Jefferson County, Colorado.

719
00:31:41,017 --> 00:31:44,993
"Nil sine Numine,"
the Colorado state motto.

720
00:31:45,017 --> 00:31:47,996
It means, "Nothing
without providence."

721
00:31:48,020 --> 00:31:50,022
That seemed beside the point,

722
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,987
which is that someone
trying to forge a ballot

723
00:31:53,011 --> 00:31:54,996
would need a unique
ballot number,

724
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,998
a barcode compatible
with that county's system,

725
00:31:58,022 --> 00:32:01,994
a sophisticated security sleeve
that the ballot goes into,

726
00:32:02,018 --> 00:32:03,992
and of course a signature match,

727
00:32:04,016 --> 00:32:07,993
which we already went over
in the case of the voting dog.

728
00:32:08,017 --> 00:32:10,988
So, what if my mailman
steals all the ballots

729
00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:13,989
from everyone in my...
Wait a minute.

730
00:32:14,013 --> 00:32:16,989
Why am I playing the idiot
in this little sketch?

731
00:32:17,013 --> 00:32:18,986
Presumably, your mailman

732
00:32:19,010 --> 00:32:21,989
doesn't want to go to federal
prison for a long time.

733
00:32:22,013 --> 00:32:24,990
That's why he doesn't steal your
neighbor's Social Security check

734
00:32:25,014 --> 00:32:27,993
or your Pottery Barn catalogue.

735
00:32:28,017 --> 00:32:29,993
I've always wondered why.

736
00:32:30,017 --> 00:32:31,023
Really?

737
00:32:32,001 --> 00:32:34,981
No! I'm playing a moron!

738
00:32:35,005 --> 00:32:36,125
If you're young and healthy,

739
00:32:37,001 --> 00:32:40,998
you should wear a mask,
distance, and vote in person.

740
00:32:41,022 --> 00:32:44,986
But if you need to vote by mail,
know that it's secure.

741
00:32:45,010 --> 00:32:46,987
Just do it early.

We're good at this.

00:32:55,016 --> 00:32:56,982

from which I'll never recover."

It's a pretty big whoop.

Okay, I'm just gonna wing it,

768
00:33:37,021 --> 00:33:38,987
if that's okay. Fine.

769
00:33:39,011 --> 00:33:40,992
Try not to rhyme.
It can get irritating.

770

Got it.

771
00:33:43,008 --> 00:33:44,985
What I wanted to say was that
election night this year

772
00:33:45,009 --> 00:33:45,995
probably isn't going
to look like

773
00:33:46,019 --> 00:33:47,985
the election nights
we're familiar with.

774
00:33:48,009 --> 00:33:48,991
We're used to the networks

775
00:33:49,015 --> 00:33:50,980
projecting the winners
in each state

776
00:33:51,004 --> 00:33:52,999
just minutes or even seconds
after the polls close.

777
00:33:53,023 --> 00:33:54,987
But this year, because of COVID,

778
00:33:55,011 --> 00:33:56,993
a record number of ballots
will be cast by mail,

779
00:33:57,017 --> 00:33:59,979
and in many states, mail-in
ballots will be counted last.

780
00:34:00,003 --> 00:34:00,987
That means there's a good chance

781
00:34:01,011 --> 00:34:02,988
it could be days
before a winner is declared.

In American elections,

themselves the winner.

So all of us,
no matter who we vote for,

have to wait for that full and
careful count to be completed

they swear in the next guy,

round and round.

How did you get good?

950
00:40:51,003 --> 00:40:52,978
I had a friend in school
who taught me.

951
00:40:53,002 --> 00:40:55,991
He was good. He was ranked
18 and under.

952
00:40:56,015 --> 00:40:58,985
He was really a nice guy.
Everybody liked him.

953
00:40:59,009 --> 00:41:00,978
What was his name?

954
00:41:01,002 --> 00:41:01,990
David Wheadon.

955
00:41:02,014 --> 00:41:04,998
Everybody had a crush
on his sister.

956
00:41:05,022 --> 00:41:06,998
Do you still see him?
He went on to Princeton,

957
00:41:07,022 --> 00:41:08,997
and Christmas vacation,

958
00:41:09,021 --> 00:41:10,994
he'd saved up to go
to San Francisco.

959
00:41:11,018 --> 00:41:13,982
And he was on the wharf, and he
saw a guy beating up a woman,

960
00:41:14,006 --> 00:41:18,008
and he went in to stop it, and
the guy stabbed him to death.

961
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:26,984
He taught you well.

962
00:41:27,008 --> 00:41:30,989
So you know I had this historic
stretch of sleeplessness

the last time we met.

964
00:41:34,002 --> 00:41:34,996
I didn't know. It got so bad

that Leo called in

Isn't he a trauma specialist?

968
00:41:42,002 --> 00:41:42,988
Yeah, but we know him,
and I figured

969
00:41:43,012 --> 00:41:45,980
he had to go to school
for everything, so...

970
00:41:46,004 --> 00:41:47,986
anyway, we brought him in
late at night.

971
00:41:48,010 --> 00:41:49,690
What did he say?
He said it was your fault.

972
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:50,995
You shouldn't bother me so much.

973

Let's go ahead and say the

They will. First of all,

978
00:42:05,006 --> 00:42:08,987
let's take a moment
and say "Why?" You know,

979
00:42:09,011 --> 00:42:11,984
they got some pretty
serious guys in that field.

980

Daniels? Weston?

of serious guys in the field,

is nobody likes

I don't know, sir. [ Chuckles ]

989
00:42:32,015 --> 00:42:34,993
Being the smartest kid in the
class is a pretty good pitch.

990
00:42:35,017 --> 00:42:39,022
It's not a strike unless
you watch it as it sails by.

991
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,986

And I'm not a snob.
I don't believe you are.

If a guy's a good neighbor,
if he puts in a day,

if every once in a while,
he smiles,

if every once in a while,
he thinks of someone else,

997
00:42:53,012 --> 00:42:53,996
and above all else,

998
00:42:54,020 --> 00:42:56,023
if he can find his way
to tolerance and compassion,

999

then he's my brother,

14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments,

1060
00:46:33,002 --> 00:46:34,362
we knocked down

In the '50s and '60s,
we marched, we protested,

and a lot of people had to
put their lives on the line,

before we could pass
the Voting Rights Act in 1965.

1072

we lower the voting age to 18.

1097
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,983
was like, "throwing away
your umbrella in a rainstorm

1098
00:48:29,007 --> 00:48:31,022
because you're not getting wet."

1099
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,993
Well, we're all getting wet now.

1100
00:48:35,017 --> 00:48:37,997
We've been rained on
in the last seven years,

1101
00:48:38,021 --> 00:48:40,998
by 26 states that have
made it harder to vote.

1102
00:48:41,022 --> 00:48:44,997
Voter I.D. laws, cuts in
voting hours and early voting,

1103
00:48:45,021 --> 00:48:46,989
purges of voter rolls,

1104
00:48:47,013 --> 00:48:49,991
and eliminating polling places
and voting machines

1105
00:48:50,015 --> 00:48:52,023
so that you're standing in line
for hours,

1106
00:48:53,001 --> 00:48:55,987
and now even crippling
the Postal Service

1107
00:48:56,011 --> 00:48:57,985
in the midst of a pandemic

1108
00:48:58,009 --> 00:49:01,983
so that your vote
might not be counted at all.

1109
00:49:02,007 --> 00:49:03,984
So ask yourself this...

1110
00:49:04,008 --> 00:49:05,998
If your vote really
doesn't matter,

1111
00:49:06,022 --> 00:49:09,981
why are people
working so very hard

1112
00:49:10,005 --> 00:49:12,987
to make sure you don't cast it?

1113
00:49:13,011 --> 00:49:15,997
Because it does matter.
There's real power in your vote,

1114
00:49:16,021 --> 00:49:19,990
the power to make
our Union more perfect.

1115
00:49:20,014 --> 00:49:21,978
And there's only one response

1116
00:49:22,002 --> 00:49:24,990
to people who are trying
to suppress your vote...

1117
00:49:25,014 --> 00:49:26,990
Make sure they fail.

1118
00:49:27,014 --> 00:49:29,982
It's our turn to push
the boulder up the hill,

1119
00:49:30,006 --> 00:49:33,994
our turn to use our power
to make a more perfect Union,

1120
00:49:34,018 --> 00:49:39,980
our turn, our sacred duty,
to vote.

1121
00:49:40,004 --> 00:49:41,987
I'm Sterling Brown,
and first, let me say

1122
00:49:42,011 --> 00:49:42,998
it's an honor
to be here tonight.

1123
00:49:43,022 --> 00:49:44,986
And you should know
we all think you're doing

1124
00:49:45,010 --> 00:49:46,982
a perfectly adequate job.

1125
00:49:47,006 --> 00:49:47,994
Appreciate it.

1126
00:49:48,018 --> 00:49:52,985
Only 40% of African-Americans
between 18 and 24 voted in 2016.

1127
00:49:53,009 --> 00:49:55,978
And today, even at the height
of Black Lives Matter,

1128
00:49:56,002 --> 00:49:57,995
too many young Black men think
elections just don't matter.

1129
00:49:58,019 --> 00:50:00,990
It's not surprising
that many of you feel that way

1130
00:50:01,014 --> 00:50:02,979
after decades of suppression,

1131
00:50:03,003 --> 00:50:05,978
disenfranchisement,
gerrymandering, and much worse.

1132
00:50:06,002 --> 00:50:08,983
In 2016, there were foreign
disinformation campaigns

1133
00:50:09,007 --> 00:50:11,983
aimed specifically at reducing
the Black male vote.

1134
00:50:12,007 --> 00:50:12,998
And they were successful.

1135
00:50:13,022 --> 00:50:15,989
So it's no wonder that so many
have tuned out, turned off,

1136
00:50:16,013 --> 00:50:18,979
and come to think that politics
doesn't speak for them.

1137
00:50:19,003 --> 00:50:20,979
Don't fall for it.
Don't listen to those

1138
00:50:21,003 --> 00:50:22,996
who are dying for you
to sit on your hands.

1139
00:50:23,020 --> 00:50:26,022
If you're sick, not just
of the coronavirus,

1140
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:27,986
but the fact
that African-Americans

1141
00:50:28,010 --> 00:50:29,988
are twice as likely
to die from it...

1142
00:50:30,012 --> 00:50:32,978
This election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1143
00:50:33,002 --> 00:50:34,989
If you're sick, not just
of the recession,

1144
00:50:35,013 --> 00:50:37,022
but the fact that
our community's hit first,

1145
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:38,991
hardest, and longest,

1146
00:50:39,015 --> 00:50:41,982
this election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1147
00:50:42,006 --> 00:50:44,999
If you're sick, not just
of police brutality,

1148
00:50:45,023 --> 00:50:47,985
but the fact that no amount
of marching or shouting

1149
00:50:48,009 --> 00:50:49,978
seems to change
a damn thing about it,

1150
00:50:50,002 --> 00:50:51,998
this election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1151
00:50:52,022 --> 00:50:54,989
This election will decide
our health care,

1152
00:50:55,013 --> 00:50:57,980
our economy,
our criminal justice system,

1153
00:50:58,004 --> 00:51:00,992
our cities, our schools
our country...

1154
00:51:01,016 --> 00:51:05,980
<i>Our country... a country</i>
in which we are not guests.

1155
00:51:06,004 --> 00:51:07,999
This is no time to tune out,
it's time to turn out

1156
00:51:08,023 --> 00:51:09,991
in greater numbers
than ever before.

1157
00:51:10,015 --> 00:51:11,999
If you want politicians
to care about you,

1158
00:51:12,023 --> 00:51:13,995
to care about your family
and your future,

1159
00:51:14,019 --> 00:51:16,996
don't pass up the greatest tool
at your disposal.

1160
00:51:17,020 --> 00:51:22,010
We can't let anyone discourage
or deceive us into turning away.

1161
00:51:24,007 --> 00:51:26,989
Emily: "Act Four.
Interior lobby... night.

1162
00:51:27,013 --> 00:51:29,998
C.J. comes in the front door
carrying three pizzas.

1163
00:51:30,022 --> 00:51:31,983
She takes out her swipe card

1164
00:51:32,007 --> 00:51:33,987
and runs it through
the security detector.

1165
00:51:34,011 --> 00:51:36,981
Suddenly, alarms buzz.

1166

Would you stay
right there, please?

1167
00:51:38,016 --> 00:51:39,985
Tommy, it's me. Stay there.

1168
00:51:40,009 --> 00:51:40,996
What happened?
She ran the card through.

1169
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:42,978
It must be bent or something.

1170
00:51:43,002 --> 00:51:43,986
Would you stay
right there please?

1171
00:51:44,010 --> 00:51:44,990
I'm staying right here.
I haven't moved.

1172
00:51:45,014 --> 00:51:46,981
Look... Guys, it's me.

1173
00:51:47,005 --> 00:51:47,990
This card says
you're Charles Young.

1174
00:51:48,014 --> 00:51:49,990
Yes. Okay, well,
obviously I'm not.

1175
00:51:50,014 --> 00:51:51,978
Why do you have a card
that doesn't belong to you?

1176
00:51:52,002 --> 00:51:52,982
- Because...
- What's goin' on?

1177
00:51:53,006 --> 00:51:53,996
Mr. McGarry,
this woman has a card

1178
00:51:54,020 --> 00:51:55,994
that doesn't belong to her.

- Oh, my God.
- Tommy, sign her in

1181
00:52:00,013 --> 00:52:01,573

Be in your office in 15 minutes.

[ Sighs ]

1184
00:52:10,021 --> 00:52:11,982
Donna: Roberta,
those are all good points

1185
00:52:12,006 --> 00:52:13,979
and perfectly valid areas
of disagreement.

1186
00:52:14,003 --> 00:52:15,978
But what I don't understand...

1187
00:52:16,002 --> 00:52:16,990
I was saying what
I don't understand

1188
00:52:17,014 --> 00:52:18,989
is that you guys were such fans
of the President.

1189
00:52:19,013 --> 00:52:20,980
You loved him
when he was Governor,

1190
00:52:21,004 --> 00:52:23,996
and you worked so hard for him
when he was campaigning.

1191
00:52:24,020 --> 00:52:26,978
Yeah.

1192
00:52:27,002 --> 00:52:27,997
Yeah. Well, he didn't lie.

1193
00:52:28,021 --> 00:52:29,998
No, he didn't lie, Mackey.
And I'll tell you what else,

1194
00:52:30,022 --> 00:52:32,978
the man just accepted
a Congressional censure,

1195
00:52:33,002 --> 00:52:34,981
and I think it's time...

1196
00:52:35,005 --> 00:52:35,996
And he should be held
to a higher standard,

1197
00:52:36,020 --> 00:52:37,998
and believe me, he holds himself
to a higher standard,

1198
00:52:38,022 --> 00:52:41,994
but sometimes he doesn't meet it
because presidents aren't kings.

1199
00:52:42,018 --> 00:52:43,996
This one's an economist
from New Hampshire,

1200
00:52:44,020 --> 00:52:45,991

you got off your horse.

Hold on, please.

1204
00:52:52,010 --> 00:52:52,995
No, I've kinda had it now, too.

1205
00:52:53,019 --> 00:52:54,984
They're shocked and appalled
and disappointed.

1206
00:52:55,008 --> 00:52:55,998
But really, they're
none of those things,

1207
00:52:56,022 --> 00:52:57,987
they just wish they were.

Never missing an opportunity
to feel morally superior...

I don't know,
what do you want me to do now?

Let 'em vote.

00:53:07,010 --> 00:53:07,993
What does that mean?

1212

I came out here to tell you
to let 'em vote.

Toby:
Abbey told me a story once.

1227
00:54:17,014 --> 00:54:21,023
She said you were
at a party once

1228
00:54:22,001 --> 00:54:24,978
where you were
bending a guy's ear.

1229
00:54:25,002 --> 00:54:27,984
You were telling him
that Ellie had mastered

1230
00:54:28,008 --> 00:54:28,998
her multiplication tables

1231
00:54:29,022 --> 00:54:33,983
and that she was in third grade
reading at a fifth grade level,

1232
00:54:34,007 --> 00:54:37,990
and she loved books,
and she'd scored two goals

1233
00:54:38,014 --> 00:54:40,987
for her soccer team
the week before,

1234
00:54:41,011 --> 00:54:43,988
and you were going on and on.

1235
00:54:44,012 --> 00:54:47,989
And what made Abbey's
story remarkable

1236
00:54:48,013 --> 00:54:50,984
was that the party you were at
was in Stockholm.

1237
00:54:51,008 --> 00:54:53,996
The man you were talking to
was King Gustav

1238
00:54:54,020 --> 00:54:55,982
who two hours earlier

1239
00:54:56,006 --> 00:55:00,981
had awarded you
the Nobel Prize in Economics.

I mean, my God.

You'd just won the Nobel Prize,

and all you wanted to talk about
to the King of Sweden

1243
00:55:09,014 --> 00:55:11,982
was Ellie's
multiplication tables.

You're a good father.
You don't have to act like it.

Sir, I looked something up

Eisenhower, it seemed,

wanted to avoid sending ships
to resupply Quemoy and Matsu,
