1
00:00:01,677 --> 00:00:02,856
Where's my staff?
2
00:00:02,891 --> 00:00:04,588
We're gonna try
Elliot out at 10:00.
3
00:00:04,623 --> 00:00:07,572
He's taking your EP and your
EP's taking your staff.
4
00:00:07,607 --> 00:00:09,144
- Wait, you asked to leave?
- I did.
5
00:00:09,178 --> 00:00:12,112
- I hired you a new EP.
- You're not talking about MacKenzie.
6
00:00:12,147 --> 00:00:14,950
- I had to right the ship.
- I tried to get in touch with you
7
00:00:14,984 --> 00:00:16,881
a lot of times
in the last three years.
8
00:00:16,916 --> 00:00:18,775
- Did you get all those emails?
- I didn't read them.
9
00:00:18,809 --> 00:00:21,710
- James Harper, this is Maggie...
- Margaret Jordan... Maggie's fine.
10
00:00:21,745 --> 00:00:23,878
I need Don Keefer to help me
through this transition.
11
00:00:23,913 --> 00:00:25,882
It turns out
Don's dating Maggie.
12
00:00:25,917 --> 00:00:27,518
He's going to be
threatened by you,
13
00:00:27,552 --> 00:00:29,619
so he'll try to impress Maggie,
who's staying with Will.
14
00:00:29,653 --> 00:00:31,387
You understand?
15
00:00:31,421 --> 00:00:33,221
There's been an explosion
off the coast of Louisiana.
16
00:00:33,256 --> 00:00:35,159
You've got to ask her
why there's no contingency.
17
00:00:35,193 --> 00:00:37,127
Why are we drilling
three miles underwater
18
00:00:37,162 --> 00:00:38,729
when we don't have
the technology
19
00:00:38,763 --> 00:00:40,297
to fix the world's
most predictable emergency?
20
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:41,899
Good to see you again, Will.
21
00:00:41,934 --> 00:00:43,601
You didn't bring her in
to right the ship.
22
00:00:43,635 --> 00:00:46,404
You brought her in
to build a new one.
23

Tess Westin, AP.
26
00:02:52,272 --> 00:02:53,372
Yes.
27
00:02:53,406 --> 00:02:55,174
Gary Cooper.
28
00:02:55,208 --> 00:02:57,076
Can that really be his name?
29
00:02:57,110 --> 00:03:00,480
Yes. Desk producer.
30
00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,750
Tamara Hart, AP.
31
00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:05,185
I'm on fire.
32
00:03:10,625 --> 00:03:12,693
New neighbors.
33
00:03:15,397 --> 00:03:16,831
Okay.
34
00:03:30,979 --> 00:03:33,080
- Morning.
- Big day.
35
00:03:33,114 --> 00:03:34,381
Can I talk to you a second?
36
00:03:34,415 --> 00:03:37,383
- We've got a rundown meeting.
- Yeah.
37
00:03:37,418 --> 00:03:39,318
- They're very young out there.
- I know.
38
00:03:39,352 --> 00:03:40,719
But what they lack
in experience,
39
00:03:40,753 --> 00:03:42,888
they make up for
in inexperience.
40
00:03:42,922 --> 00:03:44,589
- Mac...
- It's an asset.
41
00:03:44,623 --> 00:03:46,757
- They don't know how to do the news badly yet.
- Or really at all.
44
00:03:49,927 --> 00:03:51,328
I want to grow these people,
45
00:03:51,362 --> 00:03:52,796
so you're going
to go easy on them.
46
00:03:52,830 --> 00:03:53,930
We talked about this last night
47
00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:55,398
and for three hours
the night before
48
00:03:55,433 --> 00:03:57,334
and again at 4:00 am
this morning.
49
00:03:57,368 --> 00:03:58,935
And you're sure you don't
wanna lead with the spill?
50
00:03:58,969 --> 00:04:01,671
- I am. Is that what you wanted to talk about?
- No.
51
00:04:01,705 --> 00:04:04,773
I think most people here know that
you and I were together a while ago.
52
00:04:04,808 --> 00:04:06,542
I think so, too.
53
00:04:06,576 --> 00:04:07,906
I don't want anyone to know why
we're not together now.
54
00:04:08,026 --> 00:04:08,592
Sure.
55
00:04:08,712 --> 00:04:10,679
- I mean no one.
- You think I'm gonna talk about it?
56
00:04:10,714 --> 00:04:12,748
I find it hard to predict
what you will and won't do.
57
00:04:12,782 --> 00:04:14,416
- I won't be telling anyone.
- As long as we're straight.
58
00:04:14,451 --> 00:04:16,319
- We are.
- No one. Nothing.
59
00:04:16,353 --> 00:04:17,854
Just to be clear, you want me
60
00:04:17,889 --> 00:04:20,991
- to tell some people, but not everyone.
- Let's go.
61
00:04:21,025 --> 00:04:23,560
You're going to have nine minutes with
Jan Brewer, nine minutes with La Raza.
62
00:04:23,595 --> 00:04:25,829
I wanna go on record saying
we should open with the spill.
63
00:04:25,864 --> 00:04:27,465
- Done.
- We'll open with the spill?
64
00:04:27,499 --> 00:04:29,233
No, but you're on record
saying you think we should.
65
00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:30,835
The spill is all
anyone's talking about.
66
00:04:30,869 --> 00:04:32,570
Because we're the ones
telling them to.
67
00:04:32,604 --> 00:04:34,739
We're still reporting on it,
just not at the top.
68
00:04:34,773 --> 00:04:37,509
I'm looking at film of an oil
rig sinking into the ocean.
69
00:04:37,543 --> 00:04:38,943
That's pretty good television.
70
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:42,180
We don't do good television,
we do the news.
71
00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:45,250
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
72
00:04:45,284 --> 00:04:49,454
And welcome to the first pitch
meeting of "News Night" 2.0.
73
00:04:49,489 --> 00:04:51,423
The chaos of the spill
is settling down
74
00:04:51,491 --> 00:04:53,692
and we get to do
our first real show.
75
00:04:53,726 --> 00:04:55,227
11:00, I hear
the pitches;
76
00:04:55,261 --> 00:04:57,462
4:00, the show starts
to look like the show;
77
00:04:57,497 --> 00:04:58,831
and 6:00, we lock it in.
78
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:00,232
I learned everyone's
names last night.
79
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:02,301
A huge step
in the right direction.
80
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:04,570
We'll be opening tonight
with SB 1070,
81
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:06,305
the Arizona immigration bill,
82
00:05:06,340 --> 00:05:08,107
which Will supports,
by the way.
83
00:05:08,142 --> 00:05:09,609
You all thought
he was a closet liberal
84
00:05:09,643 --> 00:05:10,810
when, really,
he's a closet moron.
85
00:05:10,844 --> 00:05:11,911
I'm not a closet anything.
86
00:05:11,946 --> 00:05:13,646
Seriously, I know
everyone's name.
87
00:05:13,681 --> 00:05:16,751
I was up half the night learning
to pronounce Calanasia Zbrezniak.
88
00:05:16,785 --> 00:05:18,152
Cally doesn't
work here anymore.
89
00:05:18,187 --> 00:05:21,422
- Dianastasia Jorma?
- Nope.
90
00:05:21,457 --> 00:05:23,338
Mohammed Al Mohammed
El Mohammed Bin Bazir?
91
00:05:23,458 --> 00:05:24,105
Went to Fox.
92
00:05:24,225 --> 00:05:26,254
Fox hired someone with
three Mohammeds in their name?
93
00:05:26,374 --> 00:05:28,797
But let's give him
a hand for effort.
94
00:05:28,832 --> 00:05:30,399
Shut up!
95
00:05:30,433 --> 00:05:32,768
- Is your name really Gary Cooper?
- Yeah.
96
00:05:32,803 --> 00:05:35,571
What is "News Night" 2.0?
97
00:05:35,605 --> 00:05:37,339
- This is...
- Mac, the...
98
00:05:37,373 --> 00:05:38,974
Right.
Thank you.
99
00:05:39,008 --> 00:05:41,076
Before we get to 2.0,
I'm supposed to read
100
00:05:41,111 --> 00:05:43,712
something from IT
and I don't want to forget.
101
00:05:43,747 --> 00:05:46,748
"New aliases have been set up
for in-house e-mails.
102
00:05:46,783 --> 00:05:50,152
Autocomplete has been
enabled on your outlook."
103
00:05:51,421 --> 00:05:53,022
Anybody know what that meant?
104
00:05:54,424 --> 00:05:55,490
Right.
105
00:05:55,525 --> 00:05:58,193
"Asterisk-interns"
or "asterisk-staff"...
106
00:05:58,228 --> 00:06:00,829
An asterisk makes it
go to a group.
107
00:06:00,864 --> 00:06:02,498
No asterisk makes it
go to an individual.
108
00:06:02,532 --> 00:06:04,333
Your name is Neelamani Sampat.
109
00:06:04,367 --> 00:06:05,968
- Nailed it.
- Neal's fine.
110
00:06:06,003 --> 00:06:07,236
Can you say it one more time?
111
00:06:07,271 --> 00:06:08,771
Just type an e-mail
to someone.
112
00:06:08,806 --> 00:06:12,909
Okay, I'm sending
an e-mail to Will.
113
00:06:12,943 --> 00:06:15,946
I'm typing it.
I'm still typing it.
114
00:06:15,980 --> 00:06:18,615
- What are you doing now?
- Still typing.
115
00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:21,185
And I'm sending it.
116
00:06:26,891 --> 00:06:29,025
It's all right.
You made two mistakes.
117
00:06:29,060 --> 00:06:32,162
You used an asterisk, and
instead of typing w for "Will,"
118
00:06:32,197 --> 00:06:34,732
- you typed s for "staff."
- They're close together on the keyboard.
119
00:06:34,766 --> 00:06:36,800
"Will McAvoy's a closet bigot
who hates immigrants
120
00:06:36,835 --> 00:06:38,435
even though this country
was founded by immigrants."
121
00:06:38,470 --> 00:06:40,304
- Everybody get the same thing?
- Yep.
122
00:06:40,339 --> 00:06:41,773
No one in this newsroom's job
123
00:06:41,807 --> 00:06:43,675
is being threatened
by an undocumented worker.
124
00:06:43,709 --> 00:06:46,578
Here we go.
This is "News Night" 2.0.
125
00:06:46,612 --> 00:06:48,547
Sorry!
126
00:06:52,051 --> 00:06:53,952
- Excuse me, Charlie?
- Yeah.
127
00:06:53,987 --> 00:06:55,421
You wanted to see me?
128
00:06:55,455 --> 00:06:57,889
A 12-year-old kid in Topeka
is trying to convince me
129
00:06:57,924 --> 00:06:59,491
he's got a pair of Jacks
in the hole.
130
00:06:59,525 --> 00:07:01,660
- Shouldn't he be in school?
- He is in school.
131
00:07:01,694 --> 00:07:04,463
- How can I help you?
- Hang on.
132
00:07:04,531 --> 00:07:07,132
He really did have
Jacks in the hole.
133
00:07:07,167 --> 00:07:09,468
Is there a way I can
tell his parents?
134
00:07:09,502 --> 00:07:11,971
- I'm a little busy.
- Sure.
135
00:07:12,005 --> 00:07:14,006
You know how you have
a secret meeting with Will
136
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,574
every day to talk
about numbers?
137
00:07:15,608 --> 00:07:18,777
- I... we don't have a secret meeting.
- Yeah, you do.
138
00:07:18,812 --> 00:07:21,202
You meet with him in private
and you tell him exactly...
139
00:07:21,322 --> 00:07:22,329
I do it at his request.
140
00:07:22,449 --> 00:07:23,883
- It's very instructive.
- It is.
141
00:07:23,917 --> 00:07:25,217
- It's invaluable.
- Yeah.
142
00:07:25,251 --> 00:07:26,585
I want you to stop.
143
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:28,688
Don't break down the numbers
for him for a little while.
144
00:07:28,722 --> 00:07:30,056
Can I ask why?
145
00:07:30,090 --> 00:07:31,858
We're trying something new
146
00:07:31,893 --> 00:07:33,860
and I don't want him
getting cold feet.
147
00:07:33,895 --> 00:07:35,195
- He listens to you.
- He should.
148
00:07:35,229 --> 00:07:36,664
But what do you mean
you're trying something new?
149
00:07:36,698 --> 00:07:39,100
We're going to try doing the
news, see what happens.
150
00:07:39,134 --> 00:07:40,802
I don't get it.
151
00:07:40,836 --> 00:07:43,237
There are two important
conversations...
152
00:07:43,272 --> 00:07:45,206
How do we do
the best news possible
153
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,008
and how do we get
the most people to watch?
154
00:07:47,042 --> 00:07:48,677
I don't want one
of those conversations
155
00:07:48,711 --> 00:07:50,345
to have anything to do
with the other...
156
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:52,180
You don't want ratings
to drive content.
157
00:07:52,214 --> 00:07:53,748
- Exactly.
- Neither do I.
158
00:07:53,783 --> 00:07:56,117
- I want content to drive ratings.
- That's the hope.
159
00:07:56,151 --> 00:07:58,686
But for the moment, I don't want
ratings in Will's head at all.
160
00:07:58,721 --> 00:08:00,154
I'd be able
to tell him you spiked
161
00:08:00,189 --> 00:08:02,724
close to 75,000 new viewers
since you broke your story.
162
00:08:02,758 --> 00:08:04,592
- That's 10% in four days.
- Yeah.
163
00:08:04,627 --> 00:08:06,194
In addition to the haul
he brought in
164
00:08:06,229 --> 00:08:07,429
after he went crazy
at Northwestern.
165
00:08:07,463 --> 00:08:09,364
- He didn't go crazy.
- I'd be able to tell him
166
00:08:09,398 --> 00:08:10,765
that 32% of those
are in the demo...
167
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,302
- Reese.
- And 44% make over 75k,
168
00:08:13,336 --> 00:08:15,971
which means we can
charge more for 15 and 30s
169
00:08:16,005 --> 00:08:17,573
and get out of the wheelchair-
selling business.
170
00:08:17,607 --> 00:08:19,408
And what does he do
with that information?
171
00:08:19,443 --> 00:08:21,110
He stretches out the spill
as long as he can.
172
00:08:21,145 --> 00:08:23,646
- That's ratings driving content.
- That's just reality.
173
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,015
- Reese.
- No, I need to be able to do my job.
174
00:08:26,049 --> 00:08:29,251
Just don't break down
the numbers for Will.
175
00:08:30,754 --> 00:08:32,988
We've never gotten along
that well, have we?
176
00:08:33,022 --> 00:08:36,692
Reese, don't break down
the numbers for Will.
177
00:08:37,405 --> 00:08:40,796
If I hid in a locked vault
buried under the awm building,
178
00:08:40,830 --> 00:08:43,632
Will would find me so I could
break down the numbers for him
179
00:08:43,667 --> 00:08:46,435
because Will McAvoy is the biggest
ratings whore in the business.
180
00:08:46,470 --> 00:08:48,270
- I'm not the bad guy.
- Nobody's the bad guy.
181
00:08:48,305 --> 00:08:50,473
Though if you call
Will a whore again,
182
00:08:50,507 --> 00:08:54,510
I'm going to take out your
teeth one punch at a time.
183
00:08:54,544 --> 00:08:57,012
- Anything else?
- No, sir.
184
00:08:58,949 --> 00:09:02,584
This is a new show
and there are new rules.
185
00:09:02,619 --> 00:09:06,955
"Is this information
we need in the voting booth?"
186
00:09:06,989 --> 00:09:11,326
"Is this the best possible
form of the argument?"
187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,964
"Is the story
in historical context?"
188
00:09:15,998 --> 00:09:18,667
You can use a mnemonic device.
189
00:09:18,701 --> 00:09:22,104
I-I-I, the three I's.
190
00:09:22,138 --> 00:09:24,001
- That's not really helpful.
- I was gonna say.
191
00:09:24,121 --> 00:09:25,203
We're not opening with BP?
192
00:09:25,323 --> 00:09:27,055
It'll go down in the D block.
There's nothing new.
193
00:09:27,175 --> 00:09:29,810
How about today's day four of the
president not saying anything about it?
194
00:09:29,845 --> 00:09:31,212
Would you get off
the man's back?
195
00:09:31,246 --> 00:09:33,114
Jesus Christ.
I'm surprised you found room.
196
00:09:33,148 --> 00:09:34,521
Gary, Kendra.
197
00:09:34,641 --> 00:09:37,173
Gary is the smart black guy who's
not afraid to criticize Obama.
198
00:09:37,293 --> 00:09:40,788
Kendra got double 800s
on her sats, makes Gary crazy.
199
00:09:40,822 --> 00:09:42,823
- I studied.
- BP's going in the D block.
200
00:09:42,924 --> 00:09:43,991
Jim.
201
00:09:44,025 --> 00:09:46,260
SB 1070 passed
the Arizona house last week
202
00:09:46,295 --> 00:09:48,396
and a few days later
passed the State Senate.
203
00:09:48,430 --> 00:09:52,834
Its official name is the Support Our Law
Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act.
204
00:09:52,868 --> 00:09:56,671
It requires immigrants carry their alien
registration documents at all times,
205
00:09:56,705 --> 00:09:58,940
requires police question people
if there's reason to suspect
206
00:09:58,974 --> 00:10:00,942
they're in the United States
illegally,
207
00:10:00,977 --> 00:10:02,811
and it targets those who hire
illegal immigrants.
208
00:10:02,845 --> 00:10:04,345
The governor signs
the bill today.
209
00:10:04,380 --> 00:10:06,947
Is it worth mentioning this is the
same state that offered a bill
210
00:10:06,982 --> 00:10:08,883
requiring presidential
candidates to show
211
00:10:08,917 --> 00:10:10,751
their birth certificates
in order to get on the ballot?
212
00:10:10,785 --> 00:10:12,753
In a courtroom, that would
be called "prejudicial."
213
00:10:12,787 --> 00:10:14,254
It would be called
prejudicial anywhere.
214
00:10:14,289 --> 00:10:15,589
Nope, not that kind
of prejudicial.
215
00:10:15,623 --> 00:10:18,092
We've got the governor
for nine minutes.
216
00:10:18,126 --> 00:10:20,227
- Just us. She's only talking to Will.
- How'd you swing that?
217
00:10:20,261 --> 00:10:23,230
- By telling her about "News Night" 2.0.
- You showed her the easel?
218
00:10:23,265 --> 00:10:26,567
I convinced her she's not going to
have to outshout a crazy person.
219
00:10:26,601 --> 00:10:29,670
That studio is a courtroom
220
00:10:29,704 --> 00:10:33,040
and we only call
expert witnesses.
221
00:10:33,074 --> 00:10:35,275
Will is the attorney
for both sides.
222
00:10:35,310 --> 00:10:39,112
He examines the witness
and reveals facts.
223
00:10:39,147 --> 00:10:42,182
You will be amazed
at the guests we'll book
224
00:10:42,216 --> 00:10:44,651
using that unbelievably
obvious template.
225
00:10:44,685 --> 00:10:46,186
You don't have
to raise your hand.
226
00:10:46,220 --> 00:10:48,654
I saw one of those crazy militia
guys on "Jon Stewart" last night.
227
00:10:48,689 --> 00:10:49,605
We could also have him on.
228
00:10:49,725 --> 00:10:51,405
Did you hear me when
I was speaking just then
229
00:10:51,525 --> 00:10:53,326
or were you distracted
by a Bumblebee?
230
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:56,196
What does the I stand for?
231
00:11:00,067 --> 00:11:01,668
The... the second I.
232
00:11:01,702 --> 00:11:04,504
"Is this the best possible
form of the argument?"
233
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:06,272
Not the most colorful version,
234
00:11:06,307 --> 00:11:07,707
not the most
outrageous version,
235
00:11:07,741 --> 00:11:10,643
but the best possible version.
236
00:11:10,677 --> 00:11:13,146
- How do you define "best"?
- I define it by the source.
237
00:11:13,180 --> 00:11:16,015
I define it by the number
of relevant facts it contains,
238
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:18,051
and I define it by an x factor
239
00:11:18,086 --> 00:11:20,087
that I trust Will
and myself to determine,
240
00:11:20,121 --> 00:11:22,256
using our combined
five decades in the field.
241
00:11:22,290 --> 00:11:24,124
What's the best possible version
of the birther argument?
242
00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:26,660
There isn't one.
And that's the fourth... ah!
243
00:11:26,695 --> 00:11:28,462
This one's an a.
244
00:11:28,496 --> 00:11:30,597
Are there really
two sides to this story?
245
00:11:30,632 --> 00:11:33,801
So it's I-I-I-a.
246
00:11:33,835 --> 00:11:35,770
What does that mean,
are there really...
247
00:11:35,804 --> 00:11:39,506
The media is biased towards success and
the media is biased towards fairness.
248
00:11:39,541 --> 00:11:41,175
How can you be biased
toward fairness?
249
00:11:41,209 --> 00:11:42,776
There aren't two sides
to every story.
250
00:11:42,811 --> 00:11:45,446
Some stories have five sides,
some only have one.
251
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,248
- You don't have to raise your hand.
- I still don't under...
252
00:11:47,282 --> 00:11:50,417
Biased toward fairness means that if the
entire congressional republican caucus
253
00:11:50,452 --> 00:11:52,486
were to walk into the house
and propose a resolution
254
00:11:52,521 --> 00:11:54,923
stating that the earth was
flat, the "Times" would lead
255
00:11:54,957 --> 00:11:57,325
with "Democrats and Republicans
can't agree on shape of earth."
256
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,194
Uh...
257
00:11:59,228 --> 00:12:01,130
- Mac?
- Would you let them raise their hands?
258
00:12:01,164 --> 00:12:03,132
- Fine.
- Back to immigration.
259
00:12:03,166 --> 00:12:04,867
Neelamani Sampat.
It means "blue jewel."
260
00:12:04,901 --> 00:12:08,037
- I didn't know that.
- I did. I took the time. I care.
261
00:12:08,071 --> 00:12:10,673
- Are you asking him out?
- If he wants me to. I'm nice.
262
00:12:10,707 --> 00:12:12,941
- And what are you still doing here?
- I was asked to help.
263
00:12:12,976 --> 00:12:15,144
Don generously volunteered
to help during the transition.
264
00:12:15,178 --> 00:12:17,579
- He was asked or he volunteered?
- I'm happy to go.
265
00:12:17,613 --> 00:12:18,746
- Apologize.
- I'm sorry.
266
00:12:18,781 --> 00:12:20,148
- To Don.
- I'm over it.
267
00:12:20,182 --> 00:12:21,349
Neal.
268
00:12:21,383 --> 00:12:23,484
There is an alternative
weekly in Spokane
269
00:12:23,518 --> 00:12:25,986
called the "Pacific
Northwest Insider"
270
00:12:26,021 --> 00:12:28,789
that published an article about
immigration a couple of weeks ago.
271
00:12:28,824 --> 00:12:31,359
The story featured a guy
named Hector Nunez
272
00:12:31,393 --> 00:12:33,394
who revealed that
when he was 16,
273
00:12:33,429 --> 00:12:35,563
his parents told him that
he was living here illegally.
274
00:12:35,597 --> 00:12:36,964
The paper used his real name?
275
00:12:36,999 --> 00:12:38,800
Yeah, and the state
of Washington rescinded
276
00:12:38,834 --> 00:12:40,968
his driver's license
after the piece came out.
277
00:12:41,003 --> 00:12:45,106
He needs his car to get to his
job with a small moving company
278
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:47,241
and to take his kids
to school in the morning.
279
00:12:47,276 --> 00:12:49,043
I thought we could have him on.
280
00:12:49,077 --> 00:12:50,744
I've got to budget 42 minutes.
281
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:53,414
I've already spent 18
on Jan brewer and La Raza.
282
00:12:53,448 --> 00:12:55,382
I thought we could put
a human face on immigration.
283
00:12:55,416 --> 00:12:57,518
How about putting a human face
on the guy whose job he took?
284
00:12:57,553 --> 00:12:59,054
We don't have the time.
285
00:12:59,088 --> 00:13:01,857
We've got 1070, BP,
and a senate candidate
286
00:13:01,891 --> 00:13:03,626
who says poor people can pay
doctors with chickens.
287
00:13:03,660 --> 00:13:05,862
But even if we did have the time, it
would be emotionally manipulative.
288
00:13:05,896 --> 00:13:07,430
- How?
- We'd be putting him there
289
00:13:07,464 --> 00:13:08,931
so that we can feel
sorry for him.
290
00:13:08,966 --> 00:13:10,767
We should feel sorry for him.
He's getting screwed.
291
00:13:10,801 --> 00:13:12,536
You should feel sorry
for the guy whose job he took.
292
00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:14,104
I don't want to feel
sorry for anybody.
293
00:13:14,138 --> 00:13:17,540
I want the facts, and neither
of them can provide facts.
294
00:13:17,575 --> 00:13:19,376
- Somebody's gonna book this kid.
- Nobody's gonna book him.
295
00:13:19,410 --> 00:13:20,676
Nobody's gonna
have heard of him.
296
00:13:20,711 --> 00:13:22,311
It's an alternative
weekly in Spokane.
297
00:13:22,346 --> 00:13:25,982
And do you see "what's our
competition doing?" On the easel?
298
00:13:26,016 --> 00:13:28,018
- No, but I wish I did.
- Moving on.
299
00:13:30,494 --> 00:13:32,455
The Dow has ticked down
108 points
300
00:13:32,490 --> 00:13:34,591
on a surprisingly weak
durable-goods orders report
301
00:13:34,626 --> 00:13:36,693
from the commerce department
that has raised worries...
302
00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:39,763
Listen, I'm not gonna take it
from him in public or private.
303
00:13:39,797 --> 00:13:41,565
- I'm doing you guys a favor.
- I'm sorry.
304
00:13:41,599 --> 00:13:43,200
I understand.
And he knows that.
305
00:13:43,234 --> 00:13:45,002
You're cutting "Popwatch"
and "Today on YouTube"?
306
00:13:45,036 --> 00:13:47,037
I am. And I know
they're both yours, but...
307
00:13:47,105 --> 00:13:48,572
I don't care that they're mine.
308
00:13:48,606 --> 00:13:50,674
I care that they're the most
popular segments on the show.
309
00:13:50,708 --> 00:13:51,618
Look at the minute to minutes.
310
00:13:51,738 --> 00:13:53,625
Feel free to use them when
you and Elliot start at 10:00.
311
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:55,745
Yeah, there's gonna be nobody left
at 10:00 if you lead off the night
312
00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:58,081
with the "Will McAvoy makes you
eat your vegetables hour."
313
00:13:59,483 --> 00:14:02,952
- Hmm?
- Forget it.
314
00:14:04,698 --> 00:14:06,025
- Maggie.
- Yeah.
315
00:14:06,145 --> 00:14:08,003
Mac wants me to supervise your
preinterview with brewer's office.
316
00:14:08,123 --> 00:14:08,749
I was told.
317
00:14:08,869 --> 00:14:11,242
All right, you're gonna be
talking to a spokesperson.
318
00:14:11,362 --> 00:14:12,028
I'll call him now.
319
00:14:12,148 --> 00:14:14,965
I thought maybe we could
do a practice run first.
320
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,568
Okay, I'd like to say,
with all respect,
321
00:14:17,602 --> 00:14:19,737
that I don't feel I need
to be supervised.
322
00:14:19,771 --> 00:14:22,072
- Okay.
- You'll let me do it by myself?
323
00:14:22,106 --> 00:14:24,341
No, I just meant okay,
I heard you say that.
324
00:14:24,375 --> 00:14:26,510
I've been here a year.
You've been here three days.
325
00:14:26,544 --> 00:14:29,613
Mac's working with a group of relatively
inexperienced people she doesn't know.
326
00:14:29,647 --> 00:14:30,847
- I know that.
- All right.
327
00:14:30,882 --> 00:14:32,849
- So you'll let me do it myself?
- No.
328
00:14:32,884 --> 00:14:35,485
- Then I'm doing this under protest.
- I'm sorry?
329
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,888
I'm just... I'll be...
I'm doing this under protest.
330
00:14:37,922 --> 00:14:39,856
- What does that look like?
- It'll be the same.
331
00:14:39,891 --> 00:14:41,658
I'm just lodging
an official protest.
332
00:14:41,692 --> 00:14:43,760
- With who?
- My immediate superior, I guess.
333
00:14:43,794 --> 00:14:46,162
- That's me.
- Well, are you writing it down?
334
00:14:46,197 --> 00:14:48,331
No. Are you really
considering going to 10:00?
335
00:14:48,366 --> 00:14:51,068
- Don made some compelling arguments.
- Yeah? What were they?
336
00:14:51,102 --> 00:14:54,070
That growing something from scratch
is something I should experience.
337
00:14:54,105 --> 00:14:56,673
- Okay.
- Whoa, whoa, wait.
338
00:14:56,707 --> 00:14:57,741
- What did that mean?
- Nothing.
339
00:14:57,775 --> 00:14:58,808
- Really?
- Yeah.
340
00:14:58,843 --> 00:15:00,535
I know exactly
what you're thinking.
341
00:15:00,655 --> 00:15:02,027
I can't say the same.
342
00:15:02,147 --> 00:15:03,685
You don't think I'm making
a relationship choice?
343
00:15:03,805 --> 00:15:04,495
No.
344
00:15:04,615 --> 00:15:06,249
That this is just
a temp gig for me
345
00:15:06,284 --> 00:15:09,486
until someone puts a ring
on it and I can have kids?
346
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,455
I wasn't saying...
I didn't say any of that.
347
00:15:11,489 --> 00:15:14,357
You don't think that I don't have the
same commitment to news that you do?
348
00:15:14,392 --> 00:15:16,626
No.
349
00:15:16,661 --> 00:15:18,895
I'll be honest... because of the
way I phrased those questions,
350
00:15:18,930 --> 00:15:21,064
I wasn't totally clear
on what your answers meant.
351
00:15:21,132 --> 00:15:23,966
I think that you have the same
commitment to the news that I do.
352
00:15:24,001 --> 00:15:25,801
I think kids are great.
I used to be one.
353
00:15:25,836 --> 00:15:27,604
And I can't remember
the third thing, but...
354
00:15:27,638 --> 00:15:29,205
- Ring, ring.
- Thank you.
355
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,773
- Ring, ring.
- Hi, it's Glenn Fisher.
356
00:15:30,808 --> 00:15:32,308
- Glenn Fisher?
- Yes.
357
00:15:32,342 --> 00:15:33,943
- That's the spokesperson I'm talking to?
- Yes.
358
00:15:33,977 --> 00:15:35,211
I thought it was John Markell.
359
00:15:35,245 --> 00:15:36,912
Fisher's a press agent
who's doing the preinterview.
360
00:15:36,947 --> 00:15:39,015
Okay.
361
00:15:39,049 --> 00:15:41,583
First, you go into inews
and you look over the questions
362
00:15:41,618 --> 00:15:43,318
the segment producer
put in the rundown.
363
00:15:43,353 --> 00:15:46,522
Identify yourself and your news
agency, summarize the segment...
364
00:15:46,556 --> 00:15:48,090
The length,
whether it's live or not,
365
00:15:48,124 --> 00:15:49,372
and who we're having on
from the other side.
366
00:15:49,492 --> 00:15:53,228
I'm sorry, but don't I first open
my eyes and notice it's a new day?
367
00:15:53,263 --> 00:15:54,696
- What are we talking about here?
- I've done this before.
368
00:15:54,731 --> 00:15:57,265
- Okay.
- What is this magic box in front of me?
369
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:58,867
Have I done something to you?
370
00:15:58,901 --> 00:16:00,668
I swear I was just thinking
the exact same thing.
371
00:16:00,703 --> 00:16:02,504
I have no idea why
I'm being mean to you.
372
00:16:02,538 --> 00:16:03,972
Now that you know that,
do you think you'll stop?
373
00:16:04,006 --> 00:16:05,607
That's the thing...
It doesn't feel like it.
374
00:16:05,641 --> 00:16:06,908
I'm just being honest.
375
00:16:06,942 --> 00:16:08,776
I can't ask for more than that,
except rational thought.
376
00:16:08,811 --> 00:16:10,378
- What was that?
- Nothing.
377
00:16:10,412 --> 00:16:12,013
- Ring, ring.
- Hi, it's Glenn Fisher.
378
00:16:12,047 --> 00:16:13,914
Glenn, this is Margaret Jordan.
379
00:16:13,949 --> 00:16:16,717
I'm an associate producer at "News
Night" and I'm doing the preinterview
380
00:16:16,751 --> 00:16:18,385
for the governor's
appearance this evening.
381
00:16:18,420 --> 00:16:21,689
I know Will's gonna
wanna ask why mean people
382
00:16:21,723 --> 00:16:23,757
tend to pour into your state
like it's a bathtub drain.
383
00:16:23,791 --> 00:16:25,392
Will's not gonna
wanna ask that.
384
00:16:25,426 --> 00:16:28,061
I think they're building the fence
on the wrong side of the state.
385
00:16:28,096 --> 00:16:30,330
Margaret, here in Arizona,
the government can barely pay
386
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:32,166
for the needs of native-born
poor as it is...
387
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,800
Welfare, education,
social security...
388
00:16:33,835 --> 00:16:35,369
Especially when
so many households here
389
00:16:35,403 --> 00:16:37,438
are one or two paychecks away
from the poverty line.
390
00:16:37,472 --> 00:16:38,906
You're scapegoating
these people.
391
00:16:38,941 --> 00:16:41,743
Stop. I just said
illegals cost money.
392
00:16:41,777 --> 00:16:45,179
- Ask the follow-up.
- Okay.
393
00:16:45,214 --> 00:16:47,582
Ask it.
394
00:16:47,616 --> 00:16:50,218
My follow-up,
Mr. Fisher, is this...
395
00:16:50,252 --> 00:16:53,921
I understand that having undocumented
workers living in the US costs money
396
00:16:53,956 --> 00:16:56,323
and it's a problem we have
to do something about,
397
00:16:56,358 --> 00:16:58,525
but shouldn't it be a point
of pride for Americans
398
00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:01,194
that others are willing to uproot
their families just to come here?
399
00:17:01,228 --> 00:17:03,696
The follow-up was
"How much do they cost?"
400
00:17:03,730 --> 00:17:06,566
But, yes, it is a point of pride
that people wanna come to America
401
00:17:06,633 --> 00:17:08,668
and we value our diverse
population in Arizona,
402
00:17:08,702 --> 00:17:10,970
but we just want people to immigrate
legally and become citizens.
403
00:17:11,004 --> 00:17:13,806
And I'm sure that's what's behind
the emotion and the vitriol...
404
00:17:13,841 --> 00:17:16,109
Americans hate it when people don't
fill out the proper paperwork.
405
00:17:16,143 --> 00:17:17,541
You can't antagonize the...
406
00:17:17,661 --> 00:17:20,061
I'm gonna ask the right questions,
you dweeb!
407
00:17:20,181 --> 00:17:22,048
- And you'll follow up?
- I'll follow up.
408
00:17:22,083 --> 00:17:25,953
My point is that whatever side
of this you're on,
409
00:17:25,987 --> 00:17:29,823
the rhetoric we use to talk about
these people who risk their lives
410
00:17:29,858 --> 00:17:31,191
to have a shot
at picking oranges
411
00:17:31,226 --> 00:17:33,393
so their kids have a shot
at not being dead
412
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:35,495
makes it sound like
we're talking about
413
00:17:35,530 --> 00:17:38,232
scraping gum off our shoes.
414
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:42,202
These people chose to take a
huge risk to become Americans
415
00:17:42,236 --> 00:17:45,039
and they deserve a better
descriptor than "illegals."
416
00:17:52,214 --> 00:17:54,048
You don't need me.
You got this one.
417
00:17:54,082 --> 00:17:55,916
Thank you.
418
00:17:55,951 --> 00:17:58,586
Another story making headlines
this morning is, of course, Greece,
419
00:17:58,621 --> 00:18:01,156
whose prime minister officially
requested activation
420
00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:03,024
of the EU/IMF bailout package,
421
00:18:03,059 --> 00:18:05,059
lifting the Euro from
its lowest level of the year
422
00:18:05,094 --> 00:18:06,694
and sending
commodity prices soaring.
423
00:18:06,729 --> 00:18:08,930
We'll have that and the rest
of the day's financial news
424
00:18:08,965 --> 00:18:10,565
on "Market Wrap-Up"
at 4:00.
425
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:11,933
I'm Sloan Sabbith.
426
00:18:11,967 --> 00:18:14,402
Let's go out to Diane
and Billy on the west coast
427
00:18:14,437 --> 00:18:15,971
for Atlantis Hollywood.
428
00:18:16,005 --> 00:18:18,073
And we're clear.
429
00:18:20,209 --> 00:18:22,712
- Hello.
- Sloan, I'm MacKenzie McHale.
430
00:18:22,746 --> 00:18:25,047
- I know. It's good to meet you.
- It's nice to meet you.
431
00:18:25,082 --> 00:18:27,683
- Do you have a minute?
- Sure. Thanks.
432
00:18:29,620 --> 00:18:32,188
You know, I was watching you
earlier when you were talking about
433
00:18:32,223 --> 00:18:34,624
two companies...
Capital One and, um...
434
00:18:34,659 --> 00:18:36,259
- Baxter.
- Baxter.
435
00:18:36,293 --> 00:18:38,661
And the prompter said, "both of
whom are hinting at good numbers,"
436
00:18:38,696 --> 00:18:41,330
and you said, "both of which
are hinting at good numbers."
437
00:18:41,365 --> 00:18:44,066
- Was that an accident?
- No. I didn't write that copy.
438
00:18:44,134 --> 00:18:46,469
I changed it to "which"
because "whom" is for people.
439
00:18:46,503 --> 00:18:48,371
- Is someone in trouble?
- No.
440
00:18:48,405 --> 00:18:51,474
- Do you mind coming into my office for a second?
- Sure.
441
00:18:51,508 --> 00:18:54,344
What's the difference between
a corporation and a person?
442
00:18:54,378 --> 00:18:55,899
Have you ever held
a door open for someone?
443
00:18:56,019 --> 00:18:56,460
Yes.
444
00:18:56,580 --> 00:18:58,448
- Did you ask them for money first?
- No.
445
00:18:58,482 --> 00:19:00,383
- That's the difference.
- That's the right answer.
446
00:19:00,418 --> 00:19:03,053
- Am I taking a test?
- I've asked around and people say
447
00:19:03,087 --> 00:19:04,788
you don't belong here,
that you could be making
448
00:19:04,822 --> 00:19:06,823
a lot more money
as an analyst at Goldman.
449
00:19:06,857 --> 00:19:09,225
Couldn't you be making a lot more
money producing reality television?
450
00:19:09,260 --> 00:19:12,563
I do produce
reality television.
451
00:19:12,597 --> 00:19:14,198
I don't know what to tell you.
452
00:19:14,232 --> 00:19:15,266
I like my job.
453
00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:17,501
Do you feel like
working longer hours?
454
00:19:17,536 --> 00:19:19,570
They talked to me about
doing a morning show
455
00:19:19,604 --> 00:19:21,138
a couple of times,
but I can't do that.
456
00:19:21,173 --> 00:19:23,474
I'm not interested in cooking.
I make sandwiches.
457
00:19:23,509 --> 00:19:26,577
I get that I don't necessarily look
like it, but I'm an economist.
458
00:19:26,612 --> 00:19:29,147
- Thanks, though.
- Yeah, I meant in prime time.
459
00:19:29,181 --> 00:19:32,217
I want to give you
five minutes every night
460
00:19:32,251 --> 00:19:34,753
to talk about where we are
and how we got here.
461
00:19:34,787 --> 00:19:36,622
Are you serious?
462
00:19:37,229 --> 00:19:39,391
There are people
more qualified than I am.
463
00:19:39,426 --> 00:19:41,794
I can put you in touch with some of
the professors that I studied under...
464
00:19:41,828 --> 00:19:45,998
Yeah, the thing is they're
not going to have your legs.
465
00:19:46,032 --> 00:19:49,735
I'm sorry, but if I'm going to get
people to listen to an economics lesson,
466
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:52,705
I've got to find someone who doesn't
look like George Bernard Shaw.
467
00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:56,143
I would not ask you if I didn't
think you were qualified.
468
00:19:57,845 --> 00:20:00,114
You want me to do pole dancing while
explaining subprime mortgages?
469
00:20:00,148 --> 00:20:02,116
If you're up to it, sure.
470
00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:03,717
All right, I get it.
471
00:20:03,752 --> 00:20:05,486
We'll start a conversation
with Will about our goals
472
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,354
- and how we're going to get there.
- Great.
473
00:20:07,389 --> 00:20:08,820
- I think you and I are going
to be good friends.
474
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:09,539
I'd like that.
475
00:20:09,659 --> 00:20:10,692
- Me, too.
- Okay.
476
00:20:10,726 --> 00:20:12,460
I mean it.
I don't have any friends.
477
00:20:12,495 --> 00:20:14,296
Oh.
478
00:20:14,330 --> 00:20:16,464
You know, you're...
You're new in town, so...
479
00:20:16,499 --> 00:20:18,500
Yeah. Yeah.
480
00:20:19,753 --> 00:20:21,556
You know, you and I have
something in common.
481
00:20:21,676 --> 00:20:23,019
What's that?
482
00:20:23,139 --> 00:20:25,541
- I had a boyfriend who cheated on me, too.
- Ah.
483
00:20:25,575 --> 00:20:28,444
- The week of our wedding.
- Oh. Oh.
484
00:20:30,046 --> 00:20:31,413
I don't understand.
485
00:20:31,448 --> 00:20:35,317
- I know about Will.
- Yeah. Yeah.
486
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:38,120
I still don't understand it.
487
00:20:39,756 --> 00:20:41,857
Wait, Will didn't cheat on me.
488
00:20:41,892 --> 00:20:44,761
- I used to deny it, too.
- Will didn't cheat on me.
489
00:20:44,795 --> 00:20:46,796
- Oh, okay. Sorry.
- I can't talk about what happened,
490
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:48,498
but I can tell you that
Will didn't cheat on me.
491
00:20:48,532 --> 00:20:50,867
- I shouldn't have mentioned anything.
- Sloan, listen to me.
492
00:20:50,901 --> 00:20:52,069
Will didn't cheat on me.
493
00:20:52,103 --> 00:20:54,204
Yes, we were together
for two years and we broke up.
494
00:20:54,239 --> 00:20:57,141
I can't tell you any more than that, but
he never, ever, never cheated on me.
495
00:20:57,175 --> 00:20:58,909
- Who told you that?
- Everybody.
496
00:20:58,944 --> 00:21:00,544
That's what people...
No, no, no.
497
00:21:00,579 --> 00:21:02,180
That... that's not
what happened.
498
00:21:02,214 --> 00:21:04,115
- You don't have to tell me what happened.
- I can't tell you.
499
00:21:04,150 --> 00:21:07,519
He doesn't want anyone in the office to know.
He made me promise.
500
00:21:07,553 --> 00:21:09,455
No, not because...
501
00:21:09,489 --> 00:21:11,023
I can't talk. Ugh!
502
00:21:11,057 --> 00:21:13,259
Even though in this situation,
I think he'd prefer...
503
00:21:13,293 --> 00:21:15,728
No, he really doesn't want
the office to know anything.
504
00:21:15,762 --> 00:21:18,530
- He didn't cheat on me.
- I should get back to work.
505
00:21:18,565 --> 00:21:20,633
You need to tell people that.
506
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:22,368
You're enabling an ass.
507
00:21:22,402 --> 00:21:24,203
He's... whoa.
508
00:21:24,237 --> 00:21:26,572
He's not an ass.
509
00:21:27,707 --> 00:21:29,808
Come here.
510
00:21:29,843 --> 00:21:31,910
Will's not an ass.
He's the opposite of an ass.
511
00:21:31,945 --> 00:21:35,548
Even if he did cheat on me, which he
absolutely didn't, he's definitely not an ass.
512
00:21:35,582 --> 00:21:37,416
- Do people think that?
- You had to have known that.
513
00:21:37,450 --> 00:21:39,685
I thought they thought
he was gruff, but lovable.
514
00:21:39,719 --> 00:21:41,175
No, they think he's an
ass who cheated on you.
515
00:21:41,295 --> 00:21:42,269
That has to be corrected.
516
00:21:42,389 --> 00:21:44,523
- I have to start the 4:00.
- Okay, okay, okay.
517
00:21:44,558 --> 00:21:46,225
You need to do this...
518
00:21:46,259 --> 00:21:48,527
You need to go from person
to person and tell them
519
00:21:48,561 --> 00:21:50,729
that Will is
an extraordinary man
520
00:21:50,764 --> 00:21:52,631
with a heart the size
of a Range Rover,
521
00:21:52,665 --> 00:21:55,901
that there's a... a long
story that has to do...
522
00:21:55,935 --> 00:21:57,803
A lot to do with me,
but also other things.
523
00:21:57,837 --> 00:22:01,773
I can't tell you the story of his
life, but he's the good guy.
524
00:22:01,807 --> 00:22:03,808
- Will you tell people that?
- Every chance I get.
525
00:22:03,843 --> 00:22:05,610
- You're not going to, right?
- No, I'm not.
526
00:22:05,645 --> 00:22:07,578
Okay.
527
00:22:07,613 --> 00:22:09,274
We spiked up 9% overall.
528
00:22:09,394 --> 00:22:11,363
On top of the 7% that
came after Northwestern.
529
00:22:11,483 --> 00:22:12,917
You played
high school football.
530
00:22:12,952 --> 00:22:14,752
What do you do when you have
a lead late in the game?
531
00:22:14,787 --> 00:22:16,187
My high school never had
to worry about that.
532
00:22:16,221 --> 00:22:17,622
- You protect the lead.
- Will McAvoy!
533
00:22:17,656 --> 00:22:20,425
How do you get used to eating
lunch at 4:00 in the afternoon?
534
00:22:20,459 --> 00:22:22,860
I work from 11:00 to 9:00.
It's across all demos, too.
535
00:22:22,894 --> 00:22:25,729
Will McAvoy's the place
to be for all things BP.
536
00:22:25,764 --> 00:22:27,464
Hey, I need you
to tell me right now
537
00:22:27,499 --> 00:22:29,333
you're not using that
as a promo slug.
538
00:22:29,367 --> 00:22:31,568
We're not, but Brad ground-researched the
hell out of this since Northwestern,
539
00:22:31,602 --> 00:22:34,437
and the feedback we keep getting,
especially from 18 to 49s,
540
00:22:34,472 --> 00:22:36,373
is just studded
with green flags.
541
00:22:36,441 --> 00:22:38,008
And this isn't Brad
selective-coding, man.
542
00:22:38,043 --> 00:22:39,743
We're talking about an actual, bona
fide, audience-driven response
543
00:22:39,778 --> 00:22:41,879
to Northwestern and the way you
handled the breaking news.
544
00:22:41,914 --> 00:22:44,015
I don't see them capping
the well anytime soon.
545
00:22:44,049 --> 00:22:45,883
- But you're not leading with it.
- Not tonight.
546
00:22:45,918 --> 00:22:48,519
- It'll be down in the D block.
- It sunk this morning.
547
00:22:48,553 --> 00:22:51,055
We got film of a massive
offshore drilling rig
548
00:22:51,089 --> 00:22:52,489
sinking into
the Gulf of Mexico.
549
00:22:52,524 --> 00:22:54,090
We knew that was gonna happen.
550
00:22:54,125 --> 00:22:55,992
People knew the Titanic was gonna
sink when they went to the movie,
551
00:22:56,027 --> 00:22:58,362
but it was cool to watch, which
is why they went to the movie.
552
00:22:58,396 --> 00:23:01,631
Partner, something's going on here
and you gotta tell me what it is.
553
00:23:01,666 --> 00:23:03,933
Look, we're trying
to format a new broadcast
554
00:23:03,968 --> 00:23:05,868
that puts a priority
on information voters need,
555
00:23:05,903 --> 00:23:08,404
puts the information in context,
and then tries to present
556
00:23:08,439 --> 00:23:10,306
the best possible versions
of competing arguments.
557
00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,008
Here's what I just heard...
We got a hit show
558
00:23:12,042 --> 00:23:14,911
that just got bigger, so now
we're trying to fix it.
559
00:23:14,945 --> 00:23:16,679
Listen, there's no one
here but me and you.
560
00:23:16,714 --> 00:23:19,048
Is this something you want or
something you got talked into?
561
00:23:19,083 --> 00:23:20,817
It's... no, it's something
I want badly.
562
00:23:20,851 --> 00:23:23,219
- I've wanted this since the dawn of time.
- More than numbers?
563
00:23:23,254 --> 00:23:25,822
Weren't you the one that told me that
your audience are your only friends?
564
00:23:25,856 --> 00:23:28,358
I said that after a couple of shots
of some kind of varnish remover
565
00:23:28,392 --> 00:23:29,960
at a particularly
low point in my life.
566
00:23:29,994 --> 00:23:31,794
- That was two weeks ago.
- It was a very low point.
567
00:23:31,829 --> 00:23:33,296
- I think it was lower than three weeks ago.
- Will.
568
00:23:33,330 --> 00:23:35,698
MacKenzie thinks I don't have
to sacrifice one for the other.
569
00:23:35,732 --> 00:23:37,733
Well, MacKenzie is the expert
on predicting audience trends.
570
00:23:37,768 --> 00:23:39,502
No, wait.
She's not, Brad is.
571
00:23:39,536 --> 00:23:41,537
- We're not setting out to lose viewers...
- No one ever does.
572
00:23:41,572 --> 00:23:43,072
Just better news
for the ones we've got.
573
00:23:43,106 --> 00:23:44,807
All right, I'll stop.
574
00:23:44,841 --> 00:23:46,942
Listen, I still want
your advice every day.
575
00:23:46,976 --> 00:23:48,744
Go to
the conservative websites.
576
00:23:48,779 --> 00:23:50,379
- I do.
- You'll see that they like you.
577
00:23:50,414 --> 00:23:51,947
They think you're a rino,
but they like that you don't
578
00:23:51,982 --> 00:23:53,382
take cheap shots
at Sarah Palin.
579
00:23:53,416 --> 00:23:55,050
- Look at the comments section.
- Yeah, I know.
580
00:23:55,085 --> 00:23:57,453
Palin made a statement
about the spill last night.
581
00:23:57,488 --> 00:23:58,955
- It was ridiculous.
- Yes, it was.
582
00:23:58,989 --> 00:24:00,456
It'll be a joke
on every late-night show.
583
00:24:00,490 --> 00:24:01,958
She basically wrote
Letterman's monologue.
584
00:24:01,992 --> 00:24:03,259
- So you want my advice?
- Yes.
585
00:24:03,294 --> 00:24:05,028
Be the guy that doesn't
take a shot at her tonight.
586
00:24:05,062 --> 00:24:06,496
Well, I won't be
taking a shot at her,
587
00:24:06,530 --> 00:24:07,997
but that's because
I won't be using her.
588
00:24:08,031 --> 00:24:09,866
I'm saying you should use
her, but not to take a shot...
589
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:11,067
No, she's a private citizen.
590
00:24:11,102 --> 00:24:12,769
She doesn't have any
qualifications in this area,
591
00:24:12,804 --> 00:24:14,404
so it's hard with
the new format to justify...
592
00:24:14,439 --> 00:24:16,073
Let me tell you what it looks
like when the audience leaves.
593
00:24:16,107 --> 00:24:18,175
I can't jam in a Palin sot
just to give myself
594
00:24:18,209 --> 00:24:20,143
the opportunity
to not take a shot at her.
595
00:24:20,178 --> 00:24:22,112
If I cross that line, I'm just
saying, "fuck the whole thing."
596
00:24:22,146 --> 00:24:24,281
First you lose
the people who just got here.
597
00:24:24,315 --> 00:24:26,349
Then everyone writes that you lost
the people that just got here.
598
00:24:26,383 --> 00:24:28,485
That makes people think they're
not at the cool party anymore.
599
00:24:28,519 --> 00:24:30,620
You ever been at Sardi's on
opening night of a Broadway show
600
00:24:30,654 --> 00:24:32,622
five minutes after word gets
out the "Times" panned it?
601
00:24:32,657 --> 00:24:34,157
They leave.
602
00:24:34,191 --> 00:24:37,060
And they never come back, ever.
603
00:24:37,094 --> 00:24:38,695
And it happens
in not much more time
604
00:24:38,729 --> 00:24:41,531
than it just took me
to describe it.
605
00:24:41,565 --> 00:24:43,733
It's conservatives
who watch the news on TV.
606
00:24:43,767 --> 00:24:46,402
Don't pass up an opportunity to
remind them why they don't hate you.
607
00:24:46,437 --> 00:24:48,071
I really want to give
the new format a...
608
00:24:48,105 --> 00:24:49,739
Also, would you do me a favor
and tell Charlie Skinner
609
00:24:49,773 --> 00:24:51,140
that you're the one
who asked for these meetings?
610
00:24:51,174 --> 00:24:52,775
And do you want me
to fix you up with someone
611
00:24:52,809 --> 00:24:54,343
who'll take your mind off
a girl from three years ago?
612
00:24:54,378 --> 00:24:56,012
- No, thank you.
- Palin.
613
00:24:56,046 --> 00:24:57,781
- She's married.
- Not to fix you up with.
614
00:24:57,848 --> 00:24:59,716
- I'm saying use the Palin sot.
- I know. It's not gonna happen.
615
00:24:59,750 --> 00:25:03,219
- MacKenzie would cook me and eat me.
- You're the boss.
616
00:25:03,253 --> 00:25:06,822
I'll keep reminding you of that
because I'm not wild about your ex.
617
00:25:06,857 --> 00:25:10,259
Hey, look, her name
is MacKenzie or Miss McHale,
618
00:25:10,293 --> 00:25:12,328
and she's reported
more real news in one day
619
00:25:12,362 --> 00:25:14,930
than I have in my career.
620
00:25:15,966 --> 00:25:17,833
Fuck.
621
00:25:33,283 --> 00:25:35,651
- Hi.
- Hello.
622
00:25:35,685 --> 00:25:37,119
Jan Brewer just bailed
on us for tonight.
623
00:25:37,153 --> 00:25:39,255
- What are you talking about?
- They canceled.
624
00:25:39,289 --> 00:25:42,391
- She's going on CNN.
- Who... uh, who's she sending instead?
625
00:25:42,425 --> 00:25:45,160
Maggie, no one from the governor's
office is coming on the show.
626
00:25:45,195 --> 00:25:47,095
- What happened with the call?
- Oh, God.
627
00:25:47,130 --> 00:25:48,760
- What happened?
- This can't be because of the call.
628
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,667
What happened on the call.
629
00:25:49,787 --> 00:25:51,981
I swear, I kept my
personal feelings to myself.
630
00:25:52,101 --> 00:25:54,969
I was on the phone
with Glenn Fisher
631
00:25:55,004 --> 00:25:56,538
and it was really
just by the book.
632
00:25:56,572 --> 00:25:58,340
Okay, so the preinterview
was going fine...
633
00:25:58,374 --> 00:25:59,641
- Yeah.
- When all of a sudden...?
634
00:25:59,675 --> 00:26:01,576
Things happen, Jim, okay,
635
00:26:01,610 --> 00:26:03,811
that are beyond your super-newsman
powers of understanding.
636
00:26:03,845 --> 00:26:07,048
I wish you had told me that you
dated Glenn Fisher in college.
637
00:26:07,082 --> 00:26:08,383
How could you
possibly know that?
638
00:26:08,417 --> 00:26:09,984
He told me, which is
what you should have done.
639
00:26:10,019 --> 00:26:11,552
I know, but I thought
you'd take it away from me.
640
00:26:11,587 --> 00:26:13,154
- I would have.
- And that's why I didn't tell you.
641
00:26:13,188 --> 00:26:14,756
You have to tell me.
If you've had a relationship...
642
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:16,468
It wasn't a relationship!
We went out four times.
643
00:26:16,588 --> 00:26:17,106
Maggie.
644
00:26:17,226 --> 00:26:18,960
And now he's the press aide
to the governor of a state
645
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:20,929
that gave us Barry Goldwater
and a football team
646
00:26:20,963 --> 00:26:22,931
that couldn't find the end
zone with an onstar system.
647
00:26:22,966 --> 00:26:24,666
- You're a football fan?
- No, I looked it up.
648
00:26:24,701 --> 00:26:25,934
Also, the fourth date
didn't count.
649
00:26:25,968 --> 00:26:27,869
Is the fourth date relevant
to the preinterview?
650
00:26:27,904 --> 00:26:30,239
- It might be.
- What happened on the fourth date?
651
00:26:30,273 --> 00:26:32,441
We went back to his dorm room,
652
00:26:32,475 --> 00:26:34,510
- we started making out a little.
- Uh-huh.
653
00:26:34,544 --> 00:26:36,345
And then there was
a crazy banging on the door.
654
00:26:36,379 --> 00:26:38,380
It was his ex-girlfriend
and she was shouting,
655
00:26:38,415 --> 00:26:40,049
"I know you've got
some slut in there!"
656
00:26:40,083 --> 00:26:41,350
- I think she meant me.
- Yeah.
657
00:26:41,384 --> 00:26:43,419
And Glenn said,
"get under the bed."
658
00:26:43,453 --> 00:26:45,254
- Not the closet?
- No room in the closet. It's a dorm.
659
00:26:45,289 --> 00:26:48,224
So I got under the bed
and he let his ex-girlfriend in,
660
00:26:48,259 --> 00:26:49,793
and the two of them
patched things up.
661
00:26:49,827 --> 00:26:51,128
- With you under the bed.
- Yeah.
662
00:26:51,162 --> 00:26:52,562
When you say
they patched things up...
663
00:26:52,597 --> 00:26:54,498
- Yeah.
- You're saying...
664
00:26:54,532 --> 00:26:56,367
Oh, my God.
They did it, Jim! Okay?
665
00:26:56,401 --> 00:26:58,569
They settled their differences.
666
00:26:58,603 --> 00:27:00,771
And it didn't take very long,
because as it turns out,
667
00:27:00,806 --> 00:27:02,340
- Glenn doesn't take very long.
- Compared to who?
668
00:27:02,374 --> 00:27:05,209
Compared to... other people
669
00:27:05,244 --> 00:27:06,744
and what I've read about
in the movies.
670
00:27:06,779 --> 00:27:08,279
- It doesn't matter.
- Five minutes?
671
00:27:08,313 --> 00:27:09,780
I didn't have
a stopwatch on him,
672
00:27:09,814 --> 00:27:12,149
but I know it was under two minutes
because I was holding my breath.
673
00:27:12,183 --> 00:27:14,551
- Is this important?
- I don't know what's important yet.
674
00:27:14,585 --> 00:27:16,686
That's why I'm listening
to this story.
675
00:27:18,789 --> 00:27:20,357
They finished, they left.
676
00:27:20,391 --> 00:27:22,692
- I waited a minute, and then I left.
- Fast forward to the call.
677
00:27:22,727 --> 00:27:25,628
He says the governor would also like
to talk about Arizona doing well
678
00:27:25,663 --> 00:27:27,497
on Obama's race
to the finish initiative.
679
00:27:27,531 --> 00:27:29,733
- And you say to Glenn...?
- "How appropriate for you."
680
00:27:29,767 --> 00:27:31,401
- Good one.
- Thank you.
681
00:27:31,435 --> 00:27:33,403
You said you didn't inject
any of your personal opinions...
682
00:27:33,437 --> 00:27:35,606
I didn't inject any personal
opinions about the bill.
683
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,174
Okay, first of all,
the initiative is called
684
00:27:37,208 --> 00:27:39,209
race to the top,
not race to the finish.
685
00:27:39,244 --> 00:27:41,746
I know. That's why I was so
sure God was on my side...
686
00:27:41,780 --> 00:27:43,781
Because he teed me up
so perfectly.
687
00:27:43,816 --> 00:27:46,617
- And second, why didn't he...
- Why didn't he get her out of the room?
688
00:27:46,652 --> 00:27:48,619
It was 2:00 in the morning.
What was he gonna say?
689
00:27:48,654 --> 00:27:50,755
"Why don't we go
somewhere private and talk"?
690
00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:52,557
They were in his dorm room.
He was stuck.
691
00:27:52,591 --> 00:27:54,258
- There were no options.
- You had an option.
692
00:27:54,293 --> 00:27:55,960
You could have
not hidden under the bed.
693
00:27:55,994 --> 00:27:58,796
I made a quick decision. It may
have been the wrong one...
694
00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:01,662
- "It may have been"...
- But once I made it, I had to commit to it.
695
00:28:01,697 --> 00:28:03,364
And I will tell you
something else.
696
00:28:03,398 --> 00:28:06,167
He waited this long to tell us
he was bailing on purpose
697
00:28:06,201 --> 00:28:08,101
so we'd get slammed
on getting a replacement.
698
00:28:08,136 --> 00:28:10,236
- Do you think?
- Are you being sarcastic?
699
00:28:10,271 --> 00:28:12,806
Because, yes, I'm pretty sure
he did this on purpose.
700
00:28:13,818 --> 00:28:16,209
We've got less than
90 minutes to find someone
701
00:28:16,243 --> 00:28:18,911
to defend SB 1070
and get them to a studio.
702
00:28:18,945 --> 00:28:20,979
But after the show,
a bunch of us are going over
703
00:28:21,014 --> 00:28:22,547
to the Emerald City
to see the wizard...
704
00:28:22,582 --> 00:28:24,582
- And maybe he can give you some...
- My brain is fine.
705
00:28:24,617 --> 00:28:26,184
You give me the SATs
right now and I'll take them.
706
00:28:26,218 --> 00:28:29,854
Maybe he'll give you some courage
is what I was going to say.
707
00:28:29,889 --> 00:28:32,290
Please!
708
00:28:32,324 --> 00:28:34,725
Tell me what to do.
709
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:37,928
Grab some bookers, whoever's free,
and come into the conference room.
710
00:28:37,962 --> 00:28:39,797
- This is an emergency now.
- We'll be right there.
711
00:28:39,832 --> 00:28:40,965
- Maggie.
- Yeah.
712
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,036
I don't know anyone
in the world
713
00:28:45,070 --> 00:28:47,339
who would have hidden
under the bed.
714
00:28:50,376 --> 00:28:53,312
Martin, Tamara, Kendra,
I need some help.
715
00:28:53,346 --> 00:28:56,415
- What do you need?
- No, I can... it's no big deal.
716
00:28:56,449 --> 00:28:58,417
I just need...
717
00:28:58,451 --> 00:29:00,019
Kendra, Tamara, Martin!
718
00:29:00,053 --> 00:29:02,654
- Everything all right?
- I can fix it.
719
00:29:04,957 --> 00:29:06,457
Okay.
720
00:29:06,492 --> 00:29:09,627
- What?!
721
00:29:13,999 --> 00:29:16,868
- What the hell is going on?
- We lost Jan Brewer.
722
00:29:16,935 --> 00:29:18,569
What? God!
723
00:29:18,604 --> 00:29:20,004
Get someone else
from Brewer's office.
724
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,207
- No, we've lost the whole office.
- What?
725
00:29:22,241 --> 00:29:23,884
No one from Brewer's office
is gonna be coming.
726
00:29:24,004 --> 00:29:24,657
What the hell happened?
727
00:29:24,777 --> 00:29:26,945
- This is my fault.
- Look, I got into a stupid argument
728
00:29:26,979 --> 00:29:28,613
with a press aide on the phone
729
00:29:28,647 --> 00:29:30,482
and now he's giving
the governor's office
730
00:29:30,516 --> 00:29:32,250
to everybody but us
so he can stick it to me.
731
00:29:32,285 --> 00:29:33,718
Are you freaking kidding me?
732
00:29:33,753 --> 00:29:36,154
- No, wait. Mac...
- No. That is what happened.
733
00:29:36,188 --> 00:29:39,290
Day Side's been running Jan Brewer
promos for the last six hours.
734
00:29:39,325 --> 00:29:42,461
- Who's replacing her?
- Well, we're obviously late to the buffet,
735
00:29:42,495 --> 00:29:45,598
so we basically had to book people
who were close to a satellite dish.
736
00:29:45,632 --> 00:29:47,433
- Oh, boy.
- Dr. Dwayne Sotter.
737
00:29:47,467 --> 00:29:49,736
He's an adjunct Professor
at the University of Phoenix.
738
00:29:49,770 --> 00:29:53,240
The University of Phoenix is an
online university. It's not in Arizona.
739
00:29:53,274 --> 00:29:55,241
- But you can understand our mistake, right?
- No.
740
00:29:55,276 --> 00:29:56,844
He's written several books
on immigration policy.
741
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:59,213
- Have I heard of any of them?
- They were self-published.
742
00:29:59,247 --> 00:30:01,682
"This Land Is My Land,"
"Ambushed,"
743
00:30:01,717 --> 00:30:05,453
and "Don't Make Me Press One
For English In My Own Country."
744
00:30:05,487 --> 00:30:07,354
- That is quite a sacrifice.
- Tamara.
745
00:30:07,389 --> 00:30:08,722
We've got a former
Miss Oklahoma
746
00:30:08,757 --> 00:30:10,891
who was second runner-up in the
Miss USA Pageant this year.
747
00:30:10,925 --> 00:30:12,392
She claims she was
denied first runner-up
748
00:30:12,427 --> 00:30:14,427
because of an answer she gave
regarding illegal immigration.
749
00:30:14,462 --> 00:30:16,029
- Ah, the real victim.
- Martin.
750
00:30:16,064 --> 00:30:17,664
Right, the third
is Ross Fernholm,
751
00:30:17,699 --> 00:30:19,599
- a former state patrolman who was part...
- Don't say it.
752
00:30:19,634 --> 00:30:21,367
Of a border control group
called the "Citizens Militia."
753
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:23,770
Is this or isn't this
the exact opposite
754
00:30:23,804 --> 00:30:25,271
of who I asked you to book?
755
00:30:25,306 --> 00:30:26,606
God damn it, Jim!
What the hell were you...
756
00:30:26,641 --> 00:30:27,799
- This is all...
- All gonna be fine.
757
00:30:27,919 --> 00:30:29,084
Jim is taking the fall...
758
00:30:29,204 --> 00:30:31,425
For exactly what I'm supposed
to take the fall for.
759
00:30:31,545 --> 00:30:33,313
I don't know what the hell
dance you two are doing.
760
00:30:33,347 --> 00:30:35,715
Don't book these guys.
Scrap the segment.
761
00:30:35,749 --> 00:30:37,817
They'll say we didn't have
anyone defending it.
762
00:30:41,889 --> 00:30:44,791
Let's prep them the best we can
and have Will carry them, okay?
763
00:30:44,825 --> 00:30:47,427
He'll just carry them.
764
00:30:47,461 --> 00:30:48,961
I'll go and tell him.
765
00:30:48,996 --> 00:30:50,763
- I should be the one to tell him.
- Maggie...
766
00:30:50,798 --> 00:30:52,265
- He's gonna fire somebody.
- God knows he should.
767
00:30:52,299 --> 00:30:54,500
- He will.
- He won't.
768
00:30:55,769 --> 00:30:57,403
He won't.
769
00:30:59,506 --> 00:31:01,174
Guys, he won't.
770
00:31:02,042 --> 00:31:04,010
Hang on.
771
00:31:04,078 --> 00:31:06,413
Dome of silence.
I have to...
772
00:31:07,949 --> 00:31:10,985
Are people here under the
impression that Will is an ass?
773
00:31:16,558 --> 00:31:19,059
Okay, you're wrong.
You know?
774
00:31:19,094 --> 00:31:21,362
You're just wrong
and it's an injustice.
775
00:31:21,396 --> 00:31:24,566
He's... he'd throw himself
in front of a train
776
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,601
for anyone in this...
777
00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:28,903
- Is Will in his office?
- He's at that thing uptown.
778
00:31:28,937 --> 00:31:32,774
I'm sending him an e-mail
because I... I can't
779
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:36,210
live with this
stupid promise I made
780
00:31:36,245 --> 00:31:41,215
and, you know, completely
wrong information.
781
00:31:41,250 --> 00:31:43,985
I'm nipping this thing
in the bud right now.
782
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:46,154
And "send."
783
00:31:46,189 --> 00:31:50,191
Will is the best man
I've ever...
784
00:31:58,368 --> 00:32:00,571
- What just happened?
- I got a staff e-mail from you.
785
00:32:00,606 --> 00:32:02,840
- Me, too.
- I sent the e-mail to Sloan, I mean Will.
786
00:32:02,875 --> 00:32:05,009
Ah. Oh, my God,
I sent it to Sloan.
787
00:32:05,044 --> 00:32:06,845
I think the s in "Sloan"
became "staff."
788
00:32:06,879 --> 00:32:08,680
You used the asterisk.
789
00:32:12,151 --> 00:32:14,152
No.
790
00:32:14,187 --> 00:32:18,724
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
791
00:32:18,792 --> 00:32:21,127
Everybody listen!
Listen to me right now.
792
00:32:25,098 --> 00:32:26,832
- Oh, man.
- Oh!
793
00:32:31,504 --> 00:32:32,871
That was unusual.
794
00:32:32,906 --> 00:32:34,873
I want everyone to delete
the e-mail you just received.
795
00:32:34,908 --> 00:32:37,576
Delete it right now without reading it.
Honor system.
796
00:32:37,610 --> 00:32:40,845
And then I need someone
to sneak into Will's office
797
00:32:40,879 --> 00:32:42,914
and delete the e-mail
from his inbox.
798
00:32:42,948 --> 00:32:45,416
If it's password-protected,
799
00:32:45,450 --> 00:32:49,286
I need you to take
a baseball bat and smash...
800
00:32:54,820 --> 00:32:57,627
- You told me he was uptown.
- I guess he came back.
801
00:32:59,596 --> 00:33:02,599
- We stood in my office...
- Will.
802
00:33:02,633 --> 00:33:05,935
This morning, and I said
under no circumstances
803
00:33:05,970 --> 00:33:09,139
do I want anyone here
to know what happened.
804
00:33:09,173 --> 00:33:12,341
And you said yes,
and yes again.
805
00:33:12,376 --> 00:33:14,977
And it... it really...
806
00:33:15,012 --> 00:33:18,047
It really seemed like
you understood.
807
00:33:18,081 --> 00:33:21,250
- And then you sent an e-mail...
- It was a complete...
808
00:33:21,284 --> 00:33:25,387
- Explaining in some detail what happened.
- Please, please let me...
809
00:33:25,421 --> 00:33:28,323
And then you copied
47 reporters on it.
810
00:33:28,358 --> 00:33:29,658
Can we go into your office?
811
00:33:29,692 --> 00:33:31,927
You know how sometimes something
happens in an instant
812
00:33:31,961 --> 00:33:34,964
that's so astonishing
you just shut down?
813
00:33:34,998 --> 00:33:39,835
- Of course, that's underst...
- That doesn't fucking happen to me!
814
00:33:41,204 --> 00:33:43,605
- We need some privacy.
- Really?!
815
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,274
We're going to go
into Will's office,
816
00:33:45,308 --> 00:33:48,310
but I want everyone
to delete the e-mail.
817
00:33:48,345 --> 00:33:50,312
Mac, I think I just accidentally
forwarded it to corporate.
818
00:33:50,346 --> 00:33:52,648
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
819
00:33:52,682 --> 00:33:54,850
- Why is this happening?
- I was sending an e-mail to you,
820
00:33:54,884 --> 00:33:56,318
but accidently sent it
to Sloan Sabbith,
821
00:33:56,352 --> 00:33:57,886
but I either did or didn't
type the asterisk
822
00:33:57,921 --> 00:33:59,488
and it went to staff
instead of Sloan.
823
00:33:59,522 --> 00:34:01,190
Why were you sending it at all?
824
00:34:01,224 --> 00:34:03,659
Because... and here's where
I think I'm on firmer ground...
825
00:34:03,693 --> 00:34:06,495
She thought that
you cheated on me
826
00:34:06,529 --> 00:34:09,331
and that you were an ass,
which is not true.
827
00:34:09,366 --> 00:34:10,633
I'm changing minds, will.
828
00:34:10,668 --> 00:34:12,168
I'm changing minds
all over the place.
829
00:34:12,203 --> 00:34:14,003
- Get in there!
- Sure.
830
00:34:17,208 --> 00:34:20,010
She thought you cheated on me and she
told me other people thought so, too.
831
00:34:20,044 --> 00:34:22,312
I couldn't take that,
but I do take 100%
832
00:34:22,347 --> 00:34:24,047
of the responsibility
for what just happened.
833
00:34:24,082 --> 00:34:25,982
Who else would be responsible?
834
00:34:26,016 --> 00:34:27,383
Arizona prison stats.
835
00:34:27,418 --> 00:34:29,319
- Thank you.
- No one. I'm sorry.
836
00:34:29,353 --> 00:34:31,553
- Don't mention it.
- That's...
837
00:34:31,588 --> 00:34:34,667
I'm really impressed that you're
forgiving me so fast. I would have...
838
00:34:34,787 --> 00:34:36,826
No, what you heard was, "don't mention it."
839
00:34:36,860 --> 00:34:38,360
It's no problem.
Don't worry about it."
840
00:34:38,395 --> 00:34:40,162
What I said was,
"don't mention it ever."
841
00:34:40,196 --> 00:34:41,663
- Will...
- Ever, Mac!
842
00:34:41,698 --> 00:34:43,565
- Hospital costs and health care.
- How current?
843
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:45,134
- Fiscal 2009.
- Thank you.
844
00:34:45,168 --> 00:34:46,869
I understand.
845
00:34:46,903 --> 00:34:48,971
One more thing.
846
00:34:49,005 --> 00:34:51,507
We lost Jan Brewer
and had to replace her
847
00:34:51,541 --> 00:34:54,610
with a crazy Professor at a website,
a member of the citizens militia,
848
00:34:54,644 --> 00:34:56,813
and a former second runner-up
in the Miss USA Pageant.
849
00:34:56,847 --> 00:34:58,548
It's going to be fine.
You'll carry them.
850
00:34:58,582 --> 00:35:00,349
They'll barely have to speak.
851
00:35:02,653 --> 00:35:04,220
Now you've shut down, right?
852
00:35:04,254 --> 00:35:06,422
Ha ha.
853
00:35:06,456 --> 00:35:07,923
Who fucked up?
854
00:35:07,958 --> 00:35:09,663
Now, you know I'm not
going to tell you that.
855
00:35:09,783 --> 00:35:10,595
Okay.
856
00:35:13,597 --> 00:35:15,431
- 98%.
- What?
857
00:35:15,465 --> 00:35:18,767
I take 98% of the
responsibility, not 100%.
858
00:35:18,801 --> 00:35:20,702
Is that right?
859
00:35:20,736 --> 00:35:22,670
Listen...
860
00:35:23,972 --> 00:35:25,806
You were in love
from the day you met me,
861
00:35:25,841 --> 00:35:27,275
and for two years
you were the man
862
00:35:27,309 --> 00:35:28,743
of any woman's dreams,
you know?
863
00:35:28,778 --> 00:35:33,448
You'd have these ways
of doing things.
864
00:35:35,584 --> 00:35:37,585
It doesn't matter.
865
00:35:37,619 --> 00:35:41,088
I didn't know that I was in
love with you, too, until...
866
00:35:41,123 --> 00:35:42,790
You cheated on me
with your ex-boyfriend.
867
00:35:42,824 --> 00:35:44,691
That's right!
That's what happened.
868
00:35:44,726 --> 00:35:47,628
I didn't know how I felt about
you until I was with him again.
869
00:35:47,662 --> 00:35:50,230
So technically, I wasn't
cheating on the man I loved,
870
00:35:50,265 --> 00:35:52,766
I was falling in love
with the man I loved.
871
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,117
While cheating on him with
your ex-boyfriend.
872
00:35:54,237 --> 00:35:55,112
Yes!
873
00:35:55,703 --> 00:35:58,005
But you're missing that technically
it wasn't cheating, though.
874
00:35:58,039 --> 00:36:00,240
The more important thing is
that I fell in love with you.
875
00:36:00,275 --> 00:36:01,742
At the end of a romantic comedy
876
00:36:01,776 --> 00:36:03,277
that would make
everything okay!
877
00:36:03,311 --> 00:36:05,379
There's something I've always
been dying to ask you.
878
00:36:05,413 --> 00:36:08,849
- Ask anything.
- Why did you tell me?
879
00:36:08,883 --> 00:36:11,360
Because I wouldn't have
been able to live with it.
880
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,600
Now I have to live with it.
881
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:15,956
- Would you rather I'd have been dishonest?
- Yes!
882
00:36:19,394 --> 00:36:22,796
Yes, I'd very much rather
883
00:36:22,831 --> 00:36:24,799
you hadn't told me.
884
00:36:29,638 --> 00:36:31,339
Still, 98%.
885
00:36:33,142 --> 00:36:35,143
I'm sorry, we have to do
the final rundown.
886
00:36:35,177 --> 00:36:37,579
We're coming.
887
00:36:37,613 --> 00:36:40,549
The first runner-up
wasn't available?
888
00:36:44,788 --> 00:36:46,956
60 seconds to VTR.
889
00:36:46,990 --> 00:36:48,825
Are we getting
the opening in HD or SD?
890
00:36:48,859 --> 00:36:50,860
Where's it coming to me?
Which router?
891
00:36:50,894 --> 00:36:52,528
Roll it in from the room.
892
00:36:52,562 --> 00:36:54,564
Tess.
893
00:36:54,598 --> 00:36:56,465
There's an sot I want
in the D block...
894
00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:57,934
Sarah Palin's comment
on the white house
895
00:36:57,968 --> 00:36:59,502
not returning calls
from the Dutch,
896
00:36:59,536 --> 00:37:01,370
except she calls
Holland Norway.
897
00:37:01,405 --> 00:37:02,838
Find it, give it to Jake.
898
00:37:02,873 --> 00:37:05,040
- Don't run it past Mac.
- Yes, sir.
899
00:37:06,743 --> 00:37:08,678
Did we go to Afghanistan
because you cheated on Will?
900
00:37:08,712 --> 00:37:11,247
- Can I get a little privacy?
- Not until you learn how to send an e-mail.
901
00:37:11,281 --> 00:37:13,817
- You got invaluable experience.
- I got shot in the ass.
902
00:37:13,851 --> 00:37:15,618
Well, be grateful you weren't
facing the other direction.
903
00:37:15,653 --> 00:37:17,587
30 seconds out.
904
00:37:19,991 --> 00:37:21,726
I've been cheated on.
905
00:37:22,961 --> 00:37:25,329
One time literally
right on top of me.
906
00:37:25,364 --> 00:37:29,000
This happened because of me.
No one should get fired.
907
00:37:29,034 --> 00:37:32,403
I can resign, and it's fine
because don wants me at 10:00.
908
00:37:33,287 --> 00:37:35,540
I hope you don't do that.
909
00:37:35,574 --> 00:37:37,709
I hope you stay here.
910
00:37:38,944 --> 00:37:40,512
Good show.
911
00:37:40,546 --> 00:37:43,014
Can you move his
BlackBerry off the desk?
912
00:37:43,048 --> 00:37:45,182
- I can see it in the shot.
- Will.
913
00:37:45,217 --> 00:37:48,586
Can you move your
BlackBerry off the desk?
914
00:37:48,620 --> 00:37:50,255
Oh!
915
00:37:50,289 --> 00:37:52,657
That wouldn't have happened if he'd
had one of those rubber protectors.
916
00:37:52,691 --> 00:37:54,492
- Does 3 have to change lenses?
- No, we're good.
917
00:37:54,527 --> 00:37:58,129
In four, three, two.
Roll VTR.
918
00:38:09,542 --> 00:38:11,276
Good evening.
I'm Will McAvoy.
919
00:38:11,310 --> 00:38:13,478
Deepwater Horizon
continues to spill oil
920
00:38:13,513 --> 00:38:15,181
even as it sinks into the Gulf,
921
00:38:15,215 --> 00:38:17,316
a republican candidate
for senate in Nevada advocates
922
00:38:17,350 --> 00:38:19,451
poor people paying
doctors with chickens,
923
00:38:19,486 --> 00:38:22,387
and Greece activates
a $45 billion aid package.
924
00:38:22,422 --> 00:38:24,690
But we begin tonight in Arizona
925
00:38:24,724 --> 00:38:28,394
where Governor Jan Brewer today
signed into law SB 1070,
926
00:38:28,428 --> 00:38:30,429
which allows police
to ask for documentation
927
00:38:30,497 --> 00:38:33,166
from anyone suspected of being
in the country illegally.
928
00:38:33,201 --> 00:38:35,068
Our coverage begins
with Rachel Sachs
929
00:38:35,102 --> 00:38:36,970
at the statehouse
in Phoenix. Rachel?
930
00:38:37,004 --> 00:38:39,439
I have no idea
if the president even knows
931
00:38:39,474 --> 00:38:42,409
that an entire Exxon Valdez is spilling
into the Gulf every four days.
932
00:38:42,443 --> 00:38:43,844
Are you really not sure?
933
00:38:43,878 --> 00:38:45,212
Because that would make you
dumber than previous estimates.
934
00:38:45,246 --> 00:38:46,347
Would the two of you shut up?
935
00:38:46,381 --> 00:38:48,215
- Sorry.
- I miss my BlackBerry.
936
00:38:48,249 --> 00:38:50,851
Joining us tonight from
Washington is Daniel Mendoza,
937
00:38:50,885 --> 00:38:53,086
deputy director of the
National Council of La Raza,
938
00:38:53,121 --> 00:38:56,556
the largest hispanic civil
rights organization in the US.
939
00:38:56,591 --> 00:38:59,793
- Good evening, Mr. Mendoza.
- Thanks for inviting me here to speak to you, Will.
940
00:38:59,827 --> 00:39:01,261
Let's jump right in.
941
00:39:01,296 --> 00:39:03,030
Estimates are that
illegal immigrants
942
00:39:03,064 --> 00:39:05,933
cost Arizonans
$2.7 billion a year.
943
00:39:05,967 --> 00:39:08,468
- Is that a problem worth fixing?
- Of course it is.
944
00:39:08,503 --> 00:39:10,704
But if it's an economic issue,
you need to consider that
945
00:39:10,738 --> 00:39:12,806
deporting 12 million
undocumented workers
946
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,210
will drain 2.5 trillion over the
next 10 years from our GDP.
947
00:39:17,245 --> 00:39:20,547
Arizona residents overwhelmingly
favor spending that money.
948
00:39:20,582 --> 00:39:21,915
Back in two minutes.
949
00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:23,817
- We don't have 1705.
- Joey.
950
00:39:31,492 --> 00:39:33,293
30 seconds out.
951
00:39:33,327 --> 00:39:35,275
We know this next segment's
going to be a problem.
952
00:39:35,395 --> 00:39:36,111
Really?
953
00:39:36,231 --> 00:39:39,300
Why do you automatically assume
that a hospitality management major
954
00:39:39,334 --> 00:39:43,671
won't be able to speak with
sophistication about constitutional law?
955
00:39:43,706 --> 00:39:46,474
Make sure everybody knows this
is what blowing it looks like.
956
00:39:46,508 --> 00:39:47,875
They know.
957
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,847
20 out.
958
00:39:52,881 --> 00:39:54,682
It's gonna be fine.
959
00:39:54,716 --> 00:39:57,285
The PhD is cool
with illegal immigrants
960
00:39:57,319 --> 00:40:00,621
as long as they're checked for
diseases like smallpox and gayness.
961
00:40:00,655 --> 00:40:03,291
I'm not sure I gave Will
the best form of the argument.
962
00:40:04,426 --> 00:40:06,060
- Didn't we cure small...
- Yes.
963
00:40:06,094 --> 00:40:07,361
15 back.
964
00:40:07,395 --> 00:40:09,229
Does the militia guy really
want his gun in the shot?
965
00:40:09,264 --> 00:40:10,464
I asked him that and he said,
966
00:40:10,498 --> 00:40:11,798
"this isn't a gun,
it's a rifle.
967
00:40:11,832 --> 00:40:14,501
And this rifle has a name,
and her name is Jenny."
968
00:40:14,535 --> 00:40:16,703
If you keep covering for people,
I don't know who can do what.
969
00:40:16,737 --> 00:40:18,571
- I wasn't covering.
- You've got a crush on this girl.
970
00:40:18,605 --> 00:40:20,473
You told me to.
And, no, I don't.
971
00:40:20,508 --> 00:40:22,742
In three, two.
Cue Will.
972
00:40:22,777 --> 00:40:23,630
Welcome back.
973
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:26,580
We're discussing Arizona's
immigration bill SB 1070,
974
00:40:26,614 --> 00:40:29,249
the Support Our Law Enforcement
and Safe Neighborhoods Act,
975
00:40:29,284 --> 00:40:31,885
which was signed into law today
by Governor Jan Brewer.
976
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,253
Joining me now by satellite
977
00:40:33,288 --> 00:40:35,522
- are three strong supporters-
978
00:40:35,557 --> 00:40:37,191
Dr. Dwayne Sotter,
an academic
979
00:40:37,225 --> 00:40:39,726
who's written extensively
about immigration policy;
980
00:40:39,761 --> 00:40:42,062
Ross Fernholm, a former
Arizona state patrolman
981
00:40:42,097 --> 00:40:44,932
who now runs the all-volunteer
Independence Border Guards in Yuma;
982
00:40:44,967 --> 00:40:47,669
and Gwen Lalley, a junior
at the University of New Mexico
983
00:40:47,703 --> 00:40:50,572
and the second runner-up in
last night's Miss USA Pageant,
984
00:40:50,606 --> 00:40:52,574
who was asked about
this very issue onstage
985
00:40:52,608 --> 00:40:54,710
and who believes her answer
was what kept her from winning.
986
00:40:54,744 --> 00:40:56,011
Thank you all for being here.
987
00:40:56,045 --> 00:40:57,512
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
988
00:40:57,547 --> 00:40:58,947
Will, I wanna be very clear...
989
00:40:58,981 --> 00:41:00,349
My answer didn't
keep me from winning,
990
00:41:00,383 --> 00:41:02,384
it kept me from being
first runner-up.
991
00:41:02,418 --> 00:41:04,253
- And we're off.
- Okay. Ahem.
992
00:41:04,287 --> 00:41:06,254
Dr. Sotter, this is
your field of expertise,
993
00:41:06,289 --> 00:41:07,756
so let's kick it off with you.
994
00:41:07,790 --> 00:41:10,258
What do you say to those
who argue that SB 1070
995
00:41:10,292 --> 00:41:14,028
is just targeting Americans on the basis
of skin color and nationality alone?
996
00:41:14,062 --> 00:41:15,596
Absolutely, Will.
997
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:17,365
What would you say to them?
998
00:41:17,399 --> 00:41:18,933
I'd say absolutely.
999
00:41:18,967 --> 00:41:21,002
The bill does not target
religion or Muslims
1000
00:41:21,036 --> 00:41:24,205
or homosexuality,
just illegal Mexicans.
1001
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:26,741
Well, yes, but you would
also say, right,
1002
00:41:26,775 --> 00:41:29,243
that the state legislature
has taken great pains
1003
00:41:29,278 --> 00:41:32,246
to ensure that it isn't
a racial profiling law,
1004
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,944
even going so far as to amend it
to include the following language.
1005
00:41:35,064 --> 00:41:35,818
Go 24.
1006
00:41:35,938 --> 00:41:38,219
"Prosecutors would not
investigate complaints"
1007
00:41:38,253 --> 00:41:40,555
based on race, color,
or national origin."
1008
00:41:40,589 --> 00:41:42,758
That's right, just Mexicans.
1009
00:41:42,792 --> 00:41:45,960
- Dr. Sotter...
- Forgive me, Will. Latinos and latinas.
1010
00:41:45,995 --> 00:41:48,596
And the argument that
we don't want to be a country
1011
00:41:48,631 --> 00:41:51,833
that pulls people over and asks for
their papers based on how they look?
1012
00:41:51,867 --> 00:41:53,534
Yeah, I don't like it
any more than you do,
1013
00:41:53,569 --> 00:41:55,036
but that wouldn't be the case
1014
00:41:55,070 --> 00:41:58,339
if it weren't for
the latinos and latinas,
1015
00:41:58,373 --> 00:42:01,642
El "Criminelos,"
Los "Ilegatos."
1016
00:42:01,676 --> 00:42:03,477
That's not Spanish.
1017
00:42:03,511 --> 00:42:05,345
Ahem, Gwen, let's go to you.
1018
00:42:05,380 --> 00:42:07,014
You were asked last night
about the immigration law
1019
00:42:07,048 --> 00:42:08,916
and you said it was an issue
of states' rights.
1020
00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:10,450
And for that I paid a price.
1021
00:42:10,485 --> 00:42:13,720
That notwithstanding,
you raised an interesting issue.
1022
00:42:13,755 --> 00:42:16,156
This law will surely
be challenged in the courts
1023
00:42:16,191 --> 00:42:17,858
on constitutional grounds.
1024
00:42:17,893 --> 00:42:20,728
After all, states aren't allowed to
create their own foreign policy,
1025
00:42:20,762 --> 00:42:22,707
but it sounds like you've got
the right answer to that.
1026
00:42:22,827 --> 00:42:23,707
Which is...?
1027
00:42:23,827 --> 00:42:26,334
I'm a survivor and I don't
know the word "quit."
1028
00:42:26,368 --> 00:42:27,636
- Probably other words, too.
- Shut it.
1029
00:42:27,670 --> 00:42:29,204
Ahem, states aren't
allowed to create
1030
00:42:29,238 --> 00:42:31,806
their own foreign policy,
but...?
1031
00:42:34,944 --> 00:42:36,678
But this isn't about
foreign policy,
1032
00:42:36,712 --> 00:42:38,346
it's about law enforcement.
1033
00:42:41,017 --> 00:42:43,685
Decades of federal inaction
have led to a dangerous
1034
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:46,355
and unstable situation
on Arizona's border.
1035
00:42:46,389 --> 00:42:49,625
And if the Federal Government can't,
or won't, act to uphold the law,
1036
00:42:49,659 --> 00:42:52,795
then it's up to the states to exercise
their power and fill that void.
1037
00:42:52,829 --> 00:42:55,431
I'm an Ameri-can, Will,
not an Ameri-can't.
1038
00:42:55,465 --> 00:42:56,732
- Let's dump out of it.
- Ross.
1039
00:42:56,767 --> 00:42:58,334
- Yes.
- No, the whole thing, dump out of it.
1040
00:42:58,368 --> 00:42:59,735
I'm gonna go ahead and assume
1041
00:42:59,770 --> 00:43:01,704
that you're a supporter
of second amendment rights,
1042
00:43:01,738 --> 00:43:03,985
judging by the rifle you've
placed in your live shot.
1043
00:43:04,105 --> 00:43:04,789
Yes, sir.
1044
00:43:04,909 --> 00:43:07,544
A frequent argument you hear
from gun rights advocates
1045
00:43:07,578 --> 00:43:09,847
is that we don't need
any more new laws;
1046
00:43:09,881 --> 00:43:13,517
what we need is a government to
enforce the laws we already have.
1047
00:43:13,552 --> 00:43:16,053
Couldn't the same be said
about immigration policy?
1048
00:43:16,088 --> 00:43:17,889
Yes, sir.
1049
00:43:17,923 --> 00:43:21,226
I'm saying you're a supporter
of the new law, right?
1050
00:43:21,260 --> 00:43:23,395
- Yes, sir.
- I can't take my eyes off of it.
1051
00:43:23,429 --> 00:43:25,163
Because?
1052
00:43:27,066 --> 00:43:30,434
Because laws that are unwieldy and
unenforceable aren't laws at all.
1053
00:43:30,469 --> 00:43:31,935
- I don't follow.
- Dump out of it.
1054
00:43:31,970 --> 00:43:33,504
- And, Mr. McAdoo...
- Mcavoy.
1055
00:43:33,538 --> 00:43:35,138
- I beg your pardon?
- Doesn't matter.
1056
00:43:35,173 --> 00:43:36,906
Why don't we just
build a damn wall?
1057
00:43:36,941 --> 00:43:38,874
The Chinese built one
and you can see it from space.
1058
00:43:38,909 --> 00:43:41,310
- Are the Chinese better than us?
- No.
1059
00:43:41,344 --> 00:43:43,745
Although there's an old
saying... show me a 15-foot wall
1060
00:43:43,780 --> 00:43:45,414
and I'll show you
a 16-foot ladder.
1061
00:43:45,448 --> 00:43:46,849
Then let's just build
a 17-foot wall.
1062
00:43:46,883 --> 00:43:49,651
- Hell, build it 18 feet.
- Yes. Yep.
1063
00:43:49,686 --> 00:43:52,288
- But you see their point, right?
- Whose point?
1064
00:43:52,322 --> 00:43:53,756
The people who build ladders.
1065
00:43:53,791 --> 00:43:56,226
- How about we get...
- I'm sorry, okay?
1066
00:43:56,260 --> 00:43:59,128
- I'm sorry. Just dump out of it.
- Will, can I jump in?
1067
00:43:59,163 --> 00:44:00,763
- She cannot jump in.
- Jump on in, Gwen.
1068
00:44:00,797 --> 00:44:01,920
I think we're creating
an environment...
1069
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,563
Ugh!
1070
00:44:02,683 --> 00:44:04,867
where pageant contestants
are afraid to speak their minds
1071
00:44:04,901 --> 00:44:07,770
when it comes to important
questions and whatnot,
1072
00:44:07,804 --> 00:44:09,606
and that's not the America
i grew up in.
1073
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,009
You're 20 years old. It is
the America you grew up in.
1074
00:44:12,043 --> 00:44:13,844
- Not in Oklahoma.
- Especially in Oklahoma.
1075
00:44:13,878 --> 00:44:15,412
But we're gonna
have to leave it there.
1076
00:44:15,447 --> 00:44:17,314
When we come back,
Deepwater Horizon
1077
00:44:17,348 --> 00:44:19,116
sinks to the bottom
of the Gulf of Mexico.
1078
00:44:19,150 --> 00:44:22,852
I envy it.
1079
00:44:22,887 --> 00:44:25,421
With the White House now
getting offers of assistance
1080
00:44:25,456 --> 00:44:27,890
from other countries to help
plug the gushing well.
1081
00:44:27,925 --> 00:44:29,792
What's this new sot?
What's 907?
1082
00:44:29,827 --> 00:44:31,928
- Will gave it to me last minute.
- What is it?
1083
00:44:31,962 --> 00:44:33,963
It's Sarah Palin on the spill.
1084
00:44:33,998 --> 00:44:35,932
Former Alaskan governor and vice
presidential candidate Sarah Palin
1085
00:44:35,966 --> 00:44:37,901
weighed in earlier today
on fox news.
1086
00:44:37,935 --> 00:44:39,369
Go 907.
1087
00:44:39,403 --> 00:44:41,538
Well, then, what the federal
government should have done
1088
00:44:41,572 --> 00:44:44,774
was accept the assistance
of foreign countries,
1089
00:44:44,809 --> 00:44:47,644
of entrepreneurial Americans
who have had solutions
1090
00:44:47,678 --> 00:44:49,446
- that they wanted presented.
- Who?
1091
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,349
They can't even get
a phone call returned, Bill.
1092
00:44:52,383 --> 00:44:53,717
The Dutch.
They are known...
1093
00:44:53,751 --> 00:44:56,754
In the Norwegian...
They are known for dikes
1094
00:44:56,788 --> 00:44:59,557
and for cleaning up water
and for dealing with spills.
1095
00:44:59,591 --> 00:45:02,093
They offered to help,
and yet, no, they, too,
1096
00:45:02,127 --> 00:45:04,362
with the proverbial can't even
get a phone call back.
1097
00:45:04,396 --> 00:45:08,032
Okay, what she was saying
was that...
1098
00:45:08,067 --> 00:45:09,467
All yours.
1099
00:45:09,501 --> 00:45:11,202
Yes, okay, the Dutch
live in Holland
1100
00:45:11,236 --> 00:45:12,737
and Norwegians live in Norway.
1101
00:45:12,771 --> 00:45:14,939
That's a mistake that...
People make that.
1102
00:45:14,973 --> 00:45:16,840
And I think Governor Palin
was referring
1103
00:45:16,875 --> 00:45:19,109
to an old fairy tale
about a boy...
1104
00:45:19,143 --> 00:45:22,145
She was saying that people were
offering to help, and that's great,
1105
00:45:22,179 --> 00:45:24,347
and phone calls
will be returned.
1106
00:45:32,623 --> 00:45:35,491
William Duncan McAvoy.
1107
00:45:35,526 --> 00:45:37,226
I think your parents
wanted to make it
1108
00:45:37,261 --> 00:45:39,429
plainly understood
that you are Anglo-Saxon.
1109
00:45:39,463 --> 00:45:42,030
I came up to personally
apologize for tonight's show.
1110
00:45:42,065 --> 00:45:43,632
The show kind of got away
from you a little.
1111
00:45:43,666 --> 00:45:45,100
It bordered on unprofessional.
1112
00:45:45,135 --> 00:45:46,668
Here's unprofessional,
1113
00:45:46,703 --> 00:45:48,204
here's the border,
and here's professional,
1114
00:45:48,238 --> 00:45:49,972
and all the way back here
is tonight's show.
1115
00:45:50,006 --> 00:45:53,308
- It was my fault.
- Yeah.
1116
00:45:53,343 --> 00:45:55,878
Did you know I got an e-mail
from MacKenzie today saying...
1117
00:45:55,912 --> 00:45:58,748
God. Yeah. I forgot you
were gonna see that.
1118
00:45:58,782 --> 00:46:00,450
Know how many people
work at this company?
1119
00:46:00,484 --> 00:46:02,619
Well, in the cable news
division, I guess about 350.
1120
00:46:02,653 --> 00:46:04,521
178,000.
1121
00:46:04,555 --> 00:46:08,558
Guys who sell jet engines
got that e-mail.
1122
00:46:08,592 --> 00:46:11,094
By the way, they also own
a tabloid magazine.
1123
00:46:20,772 --> 00:46:22,572
I'm inured to it.
It happened.
1124
00:46:22,607 --> 00:46:24,107
How's gossip gonna be worse?
1125
00:46:24,142 --> 00:46:27,577
It's been three years.
Time hasn't helped?
1126
00:46:28,947 --> 00:46:30,480
No.
1127
00:46:30,515 --> 00:46:31,948
I wish you had told me.
1128
00:46:31,982 --> 00:46:33,383
What would you have said?
1129
00:46:33,417 --> 00:46:35,452
- I'd have made you feel better.
- How?
1130
00:46:35,486 --> 00:46:37,721
I don't know.
I do it all the time.
1131
00:46:40,058 --> 00:46:42,826
Get it together
down there, fast.
1132
00:46:42,861 --> 00:46:46,930
- Got it.
- One more thing.
1133
00:46:46,964 --> 00:46:49,733
Your daily private meetings
with Reese are over.
1134
00:46:49,767 --> 00:46:52,069
Charlie, I respect you
more than anyone I know,
1135
00:46:52,103 --> 00:46:54,738
but I'm the one
sitting in that chair.
1136
00:46:55,673 --> 00:46:57,741
Yes, you are.
1137
00:47:00,645 --> 00:47:04,815
People across America
are watching Arizona,
1138
00:47:04,849 --> 00:47:07,618
seeing how
we implement this law,
1139
00:47:07,652 --> 00:47:10,220
ready to jump on even
the slightest misstep.
1140
00:47:10,255 --> 00:47:13,991
Many opponents
aren't even waiting for that.
1141
00:47:14,025 --> 00:47:15,626
You need a drink?
1142
00:47:17,328 --> 00:47:18,862
Sure.
1143
00:47:18,896 --> 00:47:21,799
There's a karaoke bar
down the street we go to.
1144
00:47:21,833 --> 00:47:24,635
Drinks and appetizers
are $3 until 9:00.
1145
00:47:24,670 --> 00:47:26,104
It's 9:15.
1146
00:47:26,172 --> 00:47:28,774
We sent an intern down
at 8:55 to order 30 drinks
1147
00:47:28,808 --> 00:47:31,376
and four platters
of tuna jerky.
1148
00:47:31,410 --> 00:47:35,848
The downside's the karaoke, but it's the
only place nearby that stays open late
1149
00:47:35,882 --> 00:47:37,850
unless you want to go
to the theater district.
1150
00:47:37,885 --> 00:47:39,319
I'd have thought
the downside would be
1151
00:47:39,353 --> 00:47:41,488
the four platters
of tuna jerky.
1152
00:47:41,522 --> 00:47:43,423
It's an affordable dinner.
1153
00:47:45,427 --> 00:47:47,494
Let's go.
1154
00:47:55,136 --> 00:47:57,771
- Are you in or are you out?
- What?
1155
00:47:57,806 --> 00:48:01,909
Are you in or are you out?
1156
00:48:02,029 --> 00:48:02,693
Are we doing this, then?
1157
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:04,712
I don't understand. Are you
mad at me right now?
1158
00:48:04,746 --> 00:48:08,049
Palin. How did Palin
get into the rundown?
1159
00:48:08,083 --> 00:48:09,584
First of all, I'm the EP.
Don't slip...
1160
00:48:09,618 --> 00:48:11,852
I'm the managing editor and I
don't need your permission...
1161
00:48:11,887 --> 00:48:15,089
Yes, you do, and you didn't ask for it
'cause you knew you wouldn't get it.
1162
00:48:15,123 --> 00:48:17,225
I made it clear that this show
isn't going to participate
1163
00:48:17,259 --> 00:48:19,694
in the endless cycle of
codependency between Palin...
1164
00:48:19,729 --> 00:48:21,496
- I know.
- And insult to injury.
1165
00:48:21,531 --> 00:48:24,166
You twisted yourself into
a windsor knot to save her.
1166
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,536
"I'm sure
that what the governor meant"
1167
00:48:27,570 --> 00:48:31,873
was that the Dutch living
in Norwegia have good ideas.
1168
00:48:31,908 --> 00:48:33,675
And since she has
an intimate knowledge
1169
00:48:33,710 --> 00:48:35,944
of all calls going into
and out of the white house,
1170
00:48:35,978 --> 00:48:39,347
she's a credible source
on whether the Swedisians
1171
00:48:39,382 --> 00:48:40,849
"have gotten
their message returned."
1172
00:48:40,883 --> 00:48:42,617
First of all,
the impression... uncanny.
1173
00:48:42,652 --> 00:48:45,387
I'm not the one who asked
Victoria's Secret
1174
00:48:45,421 --> 00:48:47,589
to do five minutes of economic
reporting every night.
1175
00:48:47,624 --> 00:48:50,659
Victoria's Secret has a PhD
in economics from Duke
1176
00:48:50,693 --> 00:48:52,528
and is an adjunct Professor
at Columbia.
1177
00:48:52,562 --> 00:48:53,996
Are you in or are you out?
1178
00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:56,331
I have to give you credit for
thinking you can chew me out
1179
00:48:56,366 --> 00:48:58,200
- on this particular...
- I'll chew you out on any particular day.
1180
00:48:58,234 --> 00:49:01,503
And by the way, when I say dump
out of it, dump out of it.
1181
00:49:01,537 --> 00:49:03,372
Reese got in your head.
1182
00:49:03,406 --> 00:49:05,507
And so you put
the almost-one-term governor
1183
00:49:05,542 --> 00:49:07,410
of a state where
nobody lives on our air.
1184
00:49:07,444 --> 00:49:10,647
- I'm don't believe I'm hearing...
- Yes, we fucked up
1185
00:49:10,681 --> 00:49:13,884
on a huge subject,
but ours was a mistake.
1186
00:49:13,919 --> 00:49:16,220
Yours was fear,
1187
00:49:16,254 --> 00:49:19,190
a need to be loved by
strangers and not our show.
1188
00:49:20,426 --> 00:49:22,628
Be the leader, Will.
1189
00:49:22,662 --> 00:49:26,031
Be the moral center
of this show.
1190
00:49:26,066 --> 00:49:28,400
Be the integrity.
1191
00:49:31,370 --> 00:49:33,872
Today's Friday.
1192
00:49:33,906 --> 00:49:37,510
By Monday I want to know
are you in or are you out?
1193
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,088
Does anyone believe
I just got...
1194
00:49:52,293 --> 00:49:55,396
♪ I get the tinglies
in a silly place ♪
1195
00:49:55,430 --> 00:49:58,999
♪ it starts in my toes
and I crinkle my nose ♪
1196
00:49:59,034 --> 00:50:02,770
♪ wherever it goes,
I always know ♪
1197
00:50:02,804 --> 00:50:05,606
♪ you make me smile,
please stay for a while... ♪
1198
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:07,108
We want to be
the ones to do it.
1199
00:50:07,142 --> 00:50:09,477
We want to be
the ones to do 2.0.
1200
00:50:09,511 --> 00:50:11,745
We can do this.
1201
00:50:16,085 --> 00:50:18,752
Give me a second.
1202
00:50:25,193 --> 00:50:27,093
How you doing?
1203
00:50:27,128 --> 00:50:29,429
I'm doing all right,
all rings consisted...
1204
00:50:29,463 --> 00:50:30,663
Considered.
1205
00:50:30,698 --> 00:50:33,299
How much
have you had to drink?
1206
00:50:33,334 --> 00:50:36,002
I won't lie to you, Don.
1207
00:50:36,036 --> 00:50:37,837
- Yes?
- What?
1208
00:50:37,871 --> 00:50:39,939
You said, "I won't lie to you, Don,"
and then you didn't say anything else.
1209
00:50:39,973 --> 00:50:41,640
- I've had a drink.
- A whole one?
1210
00:50:41,675 --> 00:50:43,775
- Yeah.
- That's too much for you.
1211
00:50:43,810 --> 00:50:46,744
- It is not.
- Come to 10:00.
1212
00:50:46,779 --> 00:50:49,581
I really appreciate your offer,
1213
00:50:49,615 --> 00:50:53,752
but I think you're offering it
because I'm your girlfriend.
1214
00:50:53,786 --> 00:50:55,820
What's wrong with that?
1215
00:50:55,855 --> 00:50:57,656
Owww.
1216
00:50:57,690 --> 00:51:00,025
You're supposed to say,
"no, I'm not."
1217
00:51:00,059 --> 00:51:02,126
You're just inexperienced.
I will coach you up.
1218
00:51:02,161 --> 00:51:04,696
I want to be a part of what Will
and MacKenzie are trying to do.
1219
00:51:04,730 --> 00:51:08,566
- Will and MacKenzie are gonna fail.
- Jesus Christ, what's...
1220
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,203
Just because the scenery fell down
doesn't mean it's not a good play.
1221
00:51:12,238 --> 00:51:15,007
Yeah, I don't know what that meant,
but I'm not talking about tonight.
1222
00:51:15,041 --> 00:51:17,209
Nobody's gonna
watch a classroom.
1223
00:51:17,243 --> 00:51:20,345
They'll either be bored or infuriated
and you will bleed viewers.
1224
00:51:20,379 --> 00:51:22,447
And my show with Elliot
will get moved to 8:00.
1225
00:51:22,482 --> 00:51:25,250
And at that point, I don't know
that I'll be able to help you.
1226
00:51:25,284 --> 00:51:27,485
- It was your fault.
- Let's break up.
1227
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,879
- What did I do now?
- You were too supportive.
1228
00:51:29,999 --> 00:51:30,733
Maggie...
1229
00:51:30,853 --> 00:51:33,257
I feel myself suffocating
from your support.
1230
00:51:33,292 --> 00:51:34,792
You want truth or support?
1231
00:51:34,826 --> 00:51:36,928
Did you think I didn't
know I fucked up?
1232
00:51:36,962 --> 00:51:38,663
I've been saying it.
1233
00:51:38,697 --> 00:51:42,733
I have $45,000 in student
loans to pay off,
1234
00:51:42,767 --> 00:51:44,535
I spend three weeks'
take-home
1235
00:51:44,569 --> 00:51:46,870
on half a one-bedroom apartment
the size of a toolshed,
1236
00:51:46,904 --> 00:51:49,906
and I'm sitting alone at a bar with
a drink that was made an hour ago.
1237
00:51:49,940 --> 00:51:51,808
A good day is when I have
quarters for a dryer.
1238
00:51:51,842 --> 00:51:54,010
A bad day is when
I blow a newscast.
1239
00:51:54,044 --> 00:51:57,313
That's my spectrum.
1240
00:51:57,347 --> 00:52:00,716
Support is what
I wanted right then.
1241
00:52:00,750 --> 00:52:03,051
And I think you're rooting
for Will to fail.
1242
00:52:03,086 --> 00:52:05,590
You just said it would be
in your best interest...
1243
00:52:05,710 --> 00:52:06,341
Listen...
1244
00:52:06,461 --> 00:52:08,957
And I know he's not the
cuddliest guy in the world,
1245
00:52:08,992 --> 00:52:11,393
but he is trying to do good
1246
00:52:11,427 --> 00:52:13,662
and he's risking a lot
to do it, and you and Reese...
1247
00:52:13,696 --> 00:52:16,664
Yeah, yeah.
Let's break up.
1248
00:52:16,699 --> 00:52:18,734
Don't... no,
don't go like this.
1249
00:52:18,768 --> 00:52:21,403
I'm s... I'm sorry.
I said the wrong thing.
1250
00:52:22,338 --> 00:52:24,206
Don...
1251
00:52:25,208 --> 00:52:28,009
Oh, I'm on fire today.
1252
00:52:29,946 --> 00:52:32,814
- Evening, Mr. McAvoy.
- Good evening, Manny.
1253
00:52:34,584 --> 00:52:36,251
We know how to live
with our neighbors here.
1254
00:52:36,286 --> 00:52:38,453
- What's that?
- Your show tonight.
1255
00:52:38,488 --> 00:52:41,423
I...
1256
00:53:17,424 --> 00:53:20,226
♪ Two jumps in a week ♪
1257
00:53:20,260 --> 00:53:23,061
♪ I bet you think... ♪
You have to do a shot.
1258
00:53:23,096 --> 00:53:24,963
I really only drink
when I'm scared.
1259
00:53:24,998 --> 00:53:28,901
I would like to have a word with
you right here and right now.
1260
00:53:34,174 --> 00:53:35,775
Yes, ma'am.
1261
00:53:35,809 --> 00:53:38,611
Don't "yes, ma'am" me
with your sheepish charm.
1262
00:53:38,645 --> 00:53:40,813
Would you like to go
someplace private?
1263
00:53:40,847 --> 00:53:42,482
I... you covered for me.
1264
00:53:42,516 --> 00:53:44,617
- Don't worry about it.
- I wasn't thanking you.
1265
00:53:44,651 --> 00:53:47,452
You and Don... why do you
think I need protecting?
1266
00:53:47,487 --> 00:53:49,888
You both like the fantasy
of a girl in distress?
1267
00:53:49,922 --> 00:53:52,157
- How about I put you in a cab?
- I take the subway.
1268
00:53:52,191 --> 00:53:54,692
- Why do you think I need prot...
- I don't.
1269
00:53:54,727 --> 00:53:56,628
But I cover for you,
Mac covers for me,
1270
00:53:56,662 --> 00:53:58,763
Will covers for everybody,
Charlie covers for Will.
1271
00:53:58,798 --> 00:54:00,431
How come nobody's
yelling at me?
1272
00:54:00,466 --> 00:54:02,066
You know how bad
you screwed up, right?
1273
00:54:02,186 --> 00:54:02,468
Yes.
1274
00:54:02,588 --> 00:54:03,666
Is there anyone who feels
worse than you do?
1275
00:54:03,786 --> 00:54:04,250
No.
1276
00:54:04,370 --> 00:54:06,771
Then I doubt
it'll ever happen again.
1277
00:54:07,873 --> 00:54:09,374
Let me give you
money for a cab.
1278
00:54:09,408 --> 00:54:12,944
No, I have to go to Don's
apartment and apologize.
1279
00:54:12,978 --> 00:54:16,481
- For what?
- For suggesting he would...
1280
00:54:16,515 --> 00:54:19,451
You know, for asking...
1281
00:54:19,485 --> 00:54:21,053
I'll think of it on the way.
1282
00:54:21,087 --> 00:54:24,123
We break up, I apologize,
everything's fine.
1283
00:54:24,157 --> 00:54:26,025
Sounds like a super-healthy
relationship.
1284
00:54:26,059 --> 00:54:28,261
- I'd fight for it.
- I will fight for it.
1285
00:54:28,295 --> 00:54:30,897
And I'll make it work
through sheer force of will,
1286
00:54:30,931 --> 00:54:33,133
just like MacKenzie
will with Will
1287
00:54:33,167 --> 00:54:35,435
and just like I made
the immigration segment work.
1288
00:54:35,469 --> 00:54:37,771
Will and MacKenzie
are going to kill each other
1289
00:54:37,805 --> 00:54:39,439
and the immigration segment
was a train wreck.
1290
00:54:39,473 --> 00:54:41,141
You should shut up
more than you do.
1291
00:54:41,175 --> 00:54:43,176
Do people tell you that?
1292
00:54:43,211 --> 00:54:44,378
No.
1293
00:54:44,412 --> 00:54:46,547
You're being polite.
1294
00:54:49,718 --> 00:54:52,486
I still don't know why
I'm being mean to you.
1295
00:54:53,855 --> 00:54:55,823
Tess?
1296
00:54:55,857 --> 00:54:58,859
- Would you?
- Yeah.
1297
00:54:59,895 --> 00:55:01,362
Sorry.
1298
00:55:01,397 --> 00:55:04,232
Hang on, all of you.
1299
00:55:05,201 --> 00:55:06,901
I'm your senior producer.
1300
00:55:06,936 --> 00:55:09,904
Fuck up again like this,
I'm gonna get mad.
1301
00:55:13,742 --> 00:55:15,109
That's it.
1302
00:55:15,144 --> 00:55:17,345
Take her to Don's place.
1303
00:55:23,019 --> 00:55:26,488
- That was so awesome.
- Thank you.
1304
00:55:26,523 --> 00:55:28,691
- Do a shot.
- No.
1305
00:55:33,297 --> 00:55:34,864
- Hello?
- Neal, it's Will.
1306
00:55:34,899 --> 00:55:38,268
- I hope you don't mind my calling so late.
- No.
1307
00:55:38,302 --> 00:55:41,038
I got your number from...
You know, there's a booklet.
1308
00:55:41,072 --> 00:55:42,940
- The office directory.
- Yeah.
1309
00:55:42,974 --> 00:55:44,408
The guy you found in Spokane,
1310
00:55:44,443 --> 00:55:45,810
I want you to get
in touch with him
1311
00:55:45,844 --> 00:55:47,411
and tell him that
you're gonna pay for a cab
1312
00:55:47,446 --> 00:55:48,846
to take him to and from work.
1313
00:55:48,881 --> 00:55:51,249
He should send you the receipts,
then give them to me.
1314
00:55:51,283 --> 00:55:53,719
Will...
1315
00:55:53,753 --> 00:55:55,554
Come on, let me post this
on your blog.
1316
00:55:55,588 --> 00:55:57,123
- No.
- Will...
1317
00:55:57,157 --> 00:55:59,959
- Keep my name out of it.
