Good evening.
I'm Bradley Whitford.

3
00:00:07.023 --> 00:00:09.011

5
00:00:09.013 --> 00:00:12.019
I walked onto Stage 17
on the Warner Bros. lot

6
00:00:12.021 --> 00:00:16.005
to shoot the first episode
of "The West Wing."

7
00:00:16.007 --> 00:00:19.007
21 years later, we've gotten
the band back together

8
00:00:19.009 --> 00:00:23.003
here at the Orpheum Theater
in downtown Los Angeles --

9
00:00:23.005 --> 00:00:26.002
and under the strictest
COVID protocol --

10
00:00:26.004 --> 00:00:29.013
to benefit a non-profit,
non-partisan organization

11
00:00:29.015 --> 00:00:31.022
called When We All Vote.

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.001
We went to When We All Vote
and said,

13
00:00:34.003 --> 00:00:35.022
"You guys are
a great organization.

14
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.005
You're helping
to get out the vote

15
00:00:37.007 --> 00:00:38.023
and combat voter suppression.

16
00:00:39.001 --> 00:00:41.017
What can we, the People's Choice
Award-nominated

17
00:00:41.019 --> 00:00:44.006
cast of 'The West Wing,'
do to help?"

18
00:00:44.008 --> 00:00:47.008
They thought about it a moment
and said, "Nothing.

19
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:50.010
You have no skills or experience
that can help us in any way.

20
00:00:50.012 --> 00:00:52.022
Why don't you go put on
one of your little shows

21
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.008
where everything works out
in the end?"

22
00:00:55.010 --> 00:00:59.008
And so, forgetting to factor
for sarcasm, we said, "Sure!"

23
00:00:59.010 --> 00:01:01.000
We're going to do
a staged reading

24
00:01:01.002 --> 00:01:03.023
of an episode called
"Hartsfield's Landing,"

25
00:01:04.001 --> 00:01:06.022
and in the act breaks,
you'll hear from cast members,

26
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.002
friends, and special guests.

27
00:01:10.004 --> 00:01:14.001
We understand that some people
don't fully appreciate

28
00:01:14.003 --> 00:01:18.003
the benefit of unsolicited
advice from actors.

29
00:01:18.005 --> 00:01:19.021
We do know that.

30
00:01:19.023 --> 00:01:22.016
And if HBO was willing
to point a camera

31
00:01:22.018 --> 00:01:24.023
at the 10 smartest people
in America,

32
00:01:25.001 --> 00:01:27.023
we'd gladly clear
the stage for them.

33
00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:30.003
But the camera's pointed at us,

34
00:01:30.005 --> 00:01:32.023
and we feel,
at a time like this,

35
00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:35.014
that the risk
of appearing obnoxious

36
00:01:35.016 --> 00:01:38.002
is too small a reason
to stay quiet

37
00:01:38.004 --> 00:01:42.015
if we can get even
one new voter to vote.

38
00:01:42.017 --> 00:01:45.014
Finally, as many of you know,

39
00:01:45.016 --> 00:01:50.023
during the final season
of our show, John Spencer died.

40
00:01:51.001 --> 00:01:55.010
John was a revered and
beloved member of the company

41

who can't be replaced.

Leo McGarry,

we borrowed an actor
we know John would have admired.

45
00:02:06.002 --> 00:02:07.023
For the last few years,
he's been starring

46

called The Emmy Awards.

going to happen once I do.

The Prime Minister
plays chess?

71
00:03:09.023 --> 00:03:13.005
Chess was invented in India.
Somewhere around 600 A.D.

72
00:03:13.007 --> 00:03:17.006
A gigantic chessboard was
constructed at Fatephur Sikri,

which was the capital
a long time ago,

74
00:03:19.009 --> 00:03:21.013
and human figures
were used as chess pieces

75
00:03:21.015 --> 00:03:23.001
and moved at
the Emperor's will.

the good old days.

Do you have a student loan?

You care about politics.

Are you impervious to illness
or injury or infection?

Do you have parents?
Do you think you'll have kids?

410

Do you care about what kind

their national origin,
whom they choose to love?

417
00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:41.017
Free speech, a free press,
a woman's right to choose,

a Black man's

If you want politicians

then you have to stop

Because ignoring it

it makes you outside of it.

it's how we choose

That future
doesn't just happen,

430
00:19:09.014 --> 00:19:11.020
it's something
we make ourselves.

431
00:19:11.022 --> 00:19:13.007
And if you don't choose,

432
00:19:13.009 --> 00:19:14.022
someone else

with a single simple message --

438
00:19:30.007 --> 00:19:35.020
All of us, every one of us,
has to vote in this election.

439
00:19:35.022 --> 00:19:38.009
If you see brutality
and bigotry on our streets

440
00:19:38.011 --> 00:19:41.016
and know that we're better
in our hearts,

441
00:19:41.018 --> 00:19:44.013
you have to vote
in this election.

442
00:19:44.015 --> 00:19:48.010
If you see science mocked and
politicized in a health crisis

443
00:19:48.012 --> 00:19:51.000
and know we're
smarter than that,

444
00:19:51.002 --> 00:19:54.001
you have to vote
in this election.

445
00:19:54.003 --> 00:19:55.014
If you see
a nation of immigrants

446
00:19:55.016 --> 00:19:57.005
being told to fear immigrants

447
00:19:57.007 --> 00:20:01.017
and know we're all more decent
than that, more human than that,

448
00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:05.012
more Godly
and more American than that,

449
00:20:05.014 --> 00:20:08.020
you have to vote
in this election.

450
00:20:08.022 --> 00:20:10.022
Our politics today are a far cry

451
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:13.008
from the romantic vision
of "The West Wing,"

452
00:20:13.010 --> 00:20:14.019
but it's also a far cry

453
00:20:14.021 --> 00:20:17.020
from the vision that's
in our heads and our hearts.

454
00:20:17.022 --> 00:20:21.016
And to change that,
you have to vote.

455
00:20:21.018 --> 00:20:25.022
When We All Vote was created by
Democrats and Republicans alike

456
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.022
to close the age gap in voting

457
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:32.003
so every young person can shape
the America we need to be,

458
00:20:32.005 --> 00:20:35.020
to close the race gap in voting
so every person of color

459
00:20:35.022 --> 00:20:39.006
has a chance to strike back
against injustice,

460
00:20:39.008 --> 00:20:41.017
and to remind every American

461
00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:45.011
that our democracy
doesn't run automatically.

462
00:20:45.013 --> 00:20:48.012
If democracy isn't fought for
and protected

463
00:20:48.014 --> 00:20:54.007
by every generation, it will
be replaced by something else.

464
00:20:54.009 --> 00:20:56.007

467
00:21:02.009 --> 00:21:05.012
If you're young and without
preexisting conditions,

468
00:21:05.014 --> 00:21:09.009
go to WhenWeAllVote.com
to see how you can volunteer

469
00:21:09.011 --> 00:21:13.010
to be a poll worker in your area
and speed up the lines.

470
00:21:13.012 --> 00:21:16.018
And trust only official,
verified news

471
00:21:16.020 --> 00:21:18.015
about the election.

472
00:21:18.017 --> 00:21:21.008
Jed Bartlet's communications
director, Toby Ziegler,

473
00:21:21.010 --> 00:21:24.019
once said, "Our government
should be a place

474
00:21:24.021 --> 00:21:29.009
where we all come together
and no one gets left behind.

475
00:21:29.011 --> 00:21:32.006
An instrument of good."

476
00:21:32.008 --> 00:21:35.020
An unattainable TV fantasy?

477
00:21:35.022 --> 00:21:38.010
Why?

478
00:21:38.012 --> 00:21:40.023
Vote.

479
00:21:41.001 --> 00:21:42.015
Emily: "Act Two.

480
00:21:42.017 --> 00:21:44.019
Interior mural room -- night.

481
00:21:44.021 --> 00:21:47.012
Nancy and Leo
sit with the Chinese Ambassador

482
00:21:47.014 --> 00:21:49.008
and a member of his staff."

483
00:21:49.010 --> 00:21:51.014
Nancy: Mr. Ambassador --
Ambassador: Excuse me, please --

484
00:21:51.016 --> 00:21:53.000
There's a purpose
to this meeting.

485
00:21:53.002 --> 00:21:55.006
You have discovered
that calling us reckless

486
00:21:55.008 --> 00:21:56.013
is not working.

487
00:21:56.015 --> 00:22:00.003
Taiwan is a geostrategic center
for commerce.

488
00:22:00.005 --> 00:22:02.004
It sits on an oil lane
for Asia

489
00:22:02.006 --> 00:22:03.013
to the Middle East --
Excuse me --

490
00:22:03.015 --> 00:22:05.006
And unnecessarily
militarizing --

491
00:22:05.008 --> 00:22:08.004
Madam --
Unnecessarily militarizing

492
00:22:08.006 --> 00:22:10.018
on such a large scale
is in fact reckless.

493
00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:12.022
Taiwan is a part of China

494
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.013
and not a protectorate
of the United States,

495
00:22:15.015 --> 00:22:18.001
and it is your actions
that are an encroachment

496
00:22:18.003 --> 00:22:19.013
on Chinese sovereignty

497
00:22:19.015 --> 00:22:22.005
and an interference
in internal affairs.

498
00:22:22.007 --> 00:22:25.003
Our battle carrier groups
are in international waters.

499
00:22:25.005 --> 00:22:26.015
Are you claiming
jurisdiction?

500
00:22:26.017 --> 00:22:28.003
No.
Then let's settle down.

501
00:22:28.005 --> 00:22:30.010
The Shanghai communique says --
Sir --

502
00:22:30.012 --> 00:22:31.023
The Shanghai
communique says --

503
00:22:32.001 --> 00:22:34.002
Says that there is
but one China

504
00:22:34.004 --> 00:22:35.017
and that Taiwan
is part of China,

505
00:22:35.019 --> 00:22:36.022
and the United States
Government

506
00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:38.011
does not challenge
that position.

507
00:22:38.013 --> 00:22:41.009
The U.S. is only interested
in a peaceful settlement

508
00:22:41.011 --> 00:22:43.017
of the Taiwan question
by the Chinese themselves.

509
00:22:43.019 --> 00:22:46.001
A settlement which is not
best facilitated

510
00:22:46.003 --> 00:22:47.019
by the U.S.
selling arms to Taiwan.

511
00:22:47.021 --> 00:22:49.009
That's not on the table
in this meeting.

512
00:22:49.011 --> 00:22:52.006
This year's arms sale package
was the biggest in a decade.

513
00:22:52.008 --> 00:22:55.021
Four Kidd-Class Destroyers,
12 anti-submarine P-3 Orions,

514
00:22:55.023 --> 00:22:57.002
you approved the AMRAAMs.

515
00:22:57.004 --> 00:22:59.006
That's not on the table.

516
00:23:01.008 --> 00:23:04.000
I have said
what was to be said.

517
00:23:04.002 --> 00:23:06.015
Taiwan's reunification
with the mainland

518
00:23:06.017 --> 00:23:09.007
is the will
of all Chinese people.

519
00:23:09.009 --> 00:23:11.014
And just so we understand
each other,

520
00:23:11.016 --> 00:23:16.006
the moment we see them testing
their U.S.-built Patriots

521
00:23:16.008 --> 00:23:21.006
is the moment you will see us
testing our CSS-6 missiles.

522
00:23:21.008 --> 00:23:23.007
Thank you.

523
00:23:23.009 --> 00:23:25.012
Thank you,
Mr. Ambassador.

524
00:23:31.008 --> 00:23:32.004
How'd it go?

525
00:23:32.006 --> 00:23:33.023
They're not voting for us.
Why?

526
00:23:34.001 --> 00:23:37.002
'Cause the Old Perrin Pulp Mill
is still idle after five years.

527
00:23:37.004 --> 00:23:39.007
If it's been five years,
then why's it our fault?

528
00:23:39.009 --> 00:23:40.019
'Cause instead of protecting
American jobs,

529
00:23:40.021 --> 00:23:42.003
we're letting
Canadian pulp importers

530
00:23:42.005 --> 00:23:43.007
take over
their market share.

531
00:23:43.009 --> 00:23:44.017
It's called free trade.

532
00:23:44.019 --> 00:23:47.000
It's also called why the
Flenders aren't voting for us.

533
00:23:47.002 --> 00:23:48.019
Didn't you talk up
our accomplishments?

534
00:23:48.021 --> 00:23:50.017
I couldn't think of them.
Donna --

535
00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:52.007
They don't care
about our accomplishments,

536
00:23:52.009 --> 00:23:54.007
they care about the market
for away-from-home paper towels

537
00:23:54.009 --> 00:23:56.012
and tissue products.

538
00:23:56.014 --> 00:23:58.014
Can I give them
a commitment?

539
00:23:58.016 --> 00:24:01.018
-A commitment?
-Yeah.

540
00:24:01.020 --> 00:24:03.004
No!

541
00:24:03.006 --> 00:24:06.016
We're not making a trade
commitment to the Flenders.

542
00:24:06.018 --> 00:24:09.016
We are not for protectionism.
Neither are the Republicans.

543
00:24:09.018 --> 00:24:12.007
Tell 'em the President is good
for the economy overall.

544
00:24:12.009 --> 00:24:14.005
They say he's bad
for the economy.

545
00:24:14.007 --> 00:24:16.006
Tell 'em we're for
affordable health care.

546
00:24:16.008 --> 00:24:18.008
What's affordable if you've
lost your job at the pulp mill?

547
00:24:18.010 --> 00:24:19.020
The Flenders don't work
at the pulp mill!

548
00:24:19.022 --> 00:24:21.009
<i>Nobody</i> <i>works</i>
at the pulp mill!

549
00:24:21.011 --> 00:24:23.023
Alright.

550
00:24:24.001 --> 00:24:25.019
If Canada's making
cheaper pulp,

551
00:24:25.021 --> 00:24:27.020
then New Hampshire
needs to diversify.

552
00:24:27.022 --> 00:24:31.004
That's why the President
has allocated $500 million

553
00:24:31.006 --> 00:24:33.002
for trade adjustment
assistance.

554
00:24:33.004 --> 00:24:35.016
That's why -- Write this down --
That's why the President

555
00:24:35.018 --> 00:24:37.017
has tripled small business
start-up loans.

556
00:24:37.019 --> 00:24:41.004
That's why he's balancing
the budget. Go. Go.

557
00:24:41.006 --> 00:24:43.018
It's so warm in here.
Go.

558
00:24:48.001 --> 00:24:49.014
[ Charlie sighs ]

559
00:24:49.016 --> 00:24:50.016
Donna.
Yeah.

560
00:24:50.018 --> 00:24:52.002
You haven't by any chance
seen my copy

561
00:24:52.004 --> 00:24:53.014
of the President's
private schedule, have you?

562
00:24:53.016 --> 00:24:55.007
I don't think so.
It's stamped D-12.

563
00:24:55.009 --> 00:24:56.012
I haven't seen it.

564
00:24:56.014 --> 00:24:59.007
Thanks.

565
00:24:59.009 --> 00:25:02.003
Hey, Charlie.
Listen, you haven't
by any chance seen my copy

566
00:25:02.005 --> 00:25:04.016
of the President's
private schedule, have you?
No.

567
00:25:04.018 --> 00:25:06.015
I'm trying to retrace where
I've been in the last hour.

568
00:25:06.017 --> 00:25:08.013
I-I was here.
I was in the mess.

569
00:25:08.015 --> 00:25:10.018
I went back to my desk.

570
00:25:14.003 --> 00:25:15.019
Excuse me.

571
00:25:24.007 --> 00:25:26.005
Hello.
Chaz.

572
00:25:26.007 --> 00:25:27.015
You wouldn't happen to know
where my copy

573
00:25:27.017 --> 00:25:29.022
of the private schedule is,
would you?

574
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.009
Did you lose it?
I don't believe I did, no.

575
00:25:32.011 --> 00:25:33.015
Yet you don't have it.

576
00:25:33.017 --> 00:25:35.014
Odd.
He'd like you for a moment.

577
00:25:35.016 --> 00:25:37.016
Thank you.
Where is it?

578
00:25:37.018 --> 00:25:39.001
How would I know?
Where is it?

579
00:25:39.003 --> 00:25:40.021
I just hope you didn't
leave the building with it.

580
00:25:40.023 --> 00:25:42.018
Give it up, tiny.
No, I think you're gonna wanna

581
00:25:42.020 --> 00:25:45.021
talk nicer to me than that,
'cause when a reporter finds it,

582
00:25:45.023 --> 00:25:48.001
they're gonna come to me,
and that thing is stamped D-12,

583
00:25:48.003 --> 00:25:50.014
'cause you signed it out D-12,
and rules are rules.

584
00:25:50.016 --> 00:25:51.020
Funny.
What?

585
00:25:51.022 --> 00:25:54.001
I never told you
it was D-12.

586
00:25:54.003 --> 00:25:55.006
How 'bout that.

587
00:25:55.008 --> 00:25:56.016
Look --
You'll find it

588
00:25:56.018 --> 00:26:00.004
in your filing cabinet
under "A" for "Anal."

589
00:26:00.006 --> 00:26:02.001
I don't really want to know
what he's gonna find

590
00:26:02.003 --> 00:26:04.017
in his filing cabinet, do you?
No.

591
00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:09.015
The CVW-9 Carrier Air Wing
which has the FA-18C Hornets,

592
00:26:09.017 --> 00:26:13.010
EA-6B Prowlers,
S3-B Vikings --

593
00:26:13.012 --> 00:26:16.002
Bartlet: I don't want
to force 'em into a crouch.

594
00:26:16.004 --> 00:26:19.015
No, sir, but the first concern
is sufficient defense

595
00:26:19.017 --> 00:26:22.011
against air, surface,
and sub-surface threats.

596
00:26:22.013 --> 00:26:25.007
Okay.
Thank you, Mr. President.

597
00:26:25.009 --> 00:26:26.016
Leo: C.J.
Yeah.

598
00:26:26.018 --> 00:26:28.012
I want you to leak it
to two or three sources

599
00:26:28.014 --> 00:26:30.005
the USS <i>Carl Vinson's</i>
gonna do

600
00:26:30.007 --> 00:26:32.019
what's called a passing exercise
with the <i>Independence.</i>

601
00:26:32.021 --> 00:26:35.001
We want South China media
to pick it up right away.

602
00:26:35.003 --> 00:26:36.008
Sure.

603
00:26:36.010 --> 00:26:37.013
Mr. President?
Yeah.

604
00:26:37.015 --> 00:26:39.021
Can you see Toby a moment?
Yeah.

605
00:26:39.023 --> 00:26:41.008
Give us a minute,
would you?

606
00:26:41.010 --> 00:26:42.018
I'll let you know
when there's something new.

607
00:26:42.020 --> 00:26:44.009
Thanks.

608
00:26:44.011 --> 00:26:46.008
Good evening, Mr. President.
Welcome back.

609
00:26:46.010 --> 00:26:47.019
Thank you.

610
00:26:47.021 --> 00:26:50.016
I think this note was delivered
to me by mistake.

611
00:26:50.018 --> 00:26:52.021
What's it say?
"Come play chess."

612
00:26:52.023 --> 00:26:54.013
No, that's for you.

613
00:26:54.015 --> 00:26:57.023
It says, "Sigmund,
come play chess."

614
00:26:58.001 --> 00:26:59.023
That was a joke.

615
00:27:00.001 --> 00:27:02.000
Not so funny?

616
00:27:04.007 --> 00:27:05.019
That's a beautiful
chess set.

617
00:27:05.021 --> 00:27:07.017
It's a gift for you.
Really?

618
00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:10.003
Yeah, it's hand-carved,

619
00:27:10.005 --> 00:27:12.013
and it belonged to the Prime
Minister's grandfather,

620
00:27:12.015 --> 00:27:15.002
who used it to play
Lord Mountbatten.

621
00:27:15.004 --> 00:27:16.009
I'm surprised
she gave it away.

622
00:27:16.011 --> 00:27:18.002
Nah, she didn't.
We just boosted it

623
00:27:18.004 --> 00:27:19.013
on the way out
of the palace.

624
00:27:19.015 --> 00:27:21.002
I got some little bottles
of shampoo

625
00:27:21.004 --> 00:27:23.010
and some conditioner, too.

626
00:27:23.012 --> 00:27:25.004
Well, it's
a beautiful gift, sir.

627
00:27:25.006 --> 00:27:26.010
Sit down.

628
00:27:26.012 --> 00:27:28.005
I wouldn't want
to take your time tonight.

629
00:27:28.007 --> 00:27:29.013
Come on, man.
You were outta line.

630
00:27:29.015 --> 00:27:32.004
I was a jackass.
Let's call a truce.

631
00:27:32.006 --> 00:27:34.022
Well, I certainly do
apologize, sir.

632
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:36.016
Let's play chess.
Aren't you in the middle

633
00:27:36.018 --> 00:27:38.004
of a game with Sam?

634
00:27:38.006 --> 00:27:41.006
Yeah, he's 1, 2, 4,

635
00:27:41.008 --> 00:27:45.004
8, 12 moves away
from checkmate.

636
00:27:45.006 --> 00:27:47.018
12 moves?
Yeah.

637
00:27:47.020 --> 00:27:50.005
You're white.

638
00:27:50.007 --> 00:27:53.004
Lord Mountbatten
used to play with this set?

639
00:27:53.006 --> 00:27:57.009
With Jawaharlal Nehru
where they came to an agreement

640
00:27:57.011 --> 00:27:59.023
over the necessity
of India's independence.

641
00:28:00.001 --> 00:28:01.011
An appropriate topic
for the evening.

642
00:28:01.013 --> 00:28:04.000
Nah, Taiwan's not
gonna be our topic.

643
00:28:04.002 --> 00:28:06.007
Ah, the Evans Gambit.

644
00:28:06.009 --> 00:28:08.005
There's no such thing
as the Evans Gambit.

645
00:28:08.007 --> 00:28:11.019
A variation of
the Giuoco Piano opening,

646
00:28:11.021 --> 00:28:14.009
named after British sea captain
W.D. Evans

647
00:28:14.011 --> 00:28:16.008
who invented it in 1820.

648
00:28:16.010 --> 00:28:18.000
Don't tell me chess moves.

649
00:28:18.002 --> 00:28:19.008
I moved my pawn.

650
00:28:19.010 --> 00:28:22.014
Well it's as popular today
as it was back then.

651
00:28:22.016 --> 00:28:24.011
Okay. What is?

652
00:28:24.013 --> 00:28:25.022
I'm sorry?

653
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.015
What's our topic?

654
00:28:27.017 --> 00:28:30.001
Ah, re-election

655
00:28:30.003 --> 00:28:32.005
and the Bartlet psychosis.

656
00:28:32.007 --> 00:28:35.010
Seems to me we didn't do very
well the last time we were here.

657
00:28:35.012 --> 00:28:38.003
So we get right back
on the horse.

658
00:28:38.005 --> 00:28:40.021
I was outta line.
I really do apologize.

659
00:28:40.023 --> 00:28:43.023
You apologized already,
so let's get back on the horse.

660
00:28:44.001 --> 00:28:46.018
Well, neither one of us
ride horses.

661
00:28:46.020 --> 00:28:50.004
That makes it more likely
we'll learn something.

662
00:28:50.006 --> 00:28:51.012
Charlie: Sir?
Yeah.

663
00:28:51.014 --> 00:28:54.002
Sam says, "Bishop
to queen's knight's three."

664
00:28:54.004 --> 00:28:56.003
Ah.

665
00:28:56.005 --> 00:28:57.022
Excuse me.

666
00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.023
11 moves.

667
00:29:18.017 --> 00:29:26.021
♪♪

668
00:29:26.023 --> 00:29:30.023
I'm Bradley Whitford,
and this is Marlee Matlin.

669
00:29:31.001 --> 00:29:33.010
Interpreter: Do you want to hear
some behind-the-scenes trivia

670
00:29:33.012 --> 00:29:34.020
about Brad?

671
00:29:34.022 --> 00:29:37.007
On the set, in Josh's office,
he used to keep

672
00:29:37.009 --> 00:29:40.016
a small stuffed animal
in his bottom right drawer.

673
00:29:40.018 --> 00:29:42.003
He would look
at the stuffed animal

674
00:29:42.005 --> 00:29:44.007
right before the director
would call action,

675
00:29:44.009 --> 00:29:47.008
and somehow, the stuffed animal
would reassure Brad

676
00:29:47.010 --> 00:29:49.021
that he was just as good
as everyone else in the cast.

677
00:29:49.023 --> 00:29:52.010
Okay, well, none of that story
was true.

678
00:29:52.012 --> 00:29:55.008
I think it was a bunny.
There was no bunny.

679
00:29:55.010 --> 00:29:56.017
His name was Hoppity.

680
00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:59.019
The imaginary rabbit's name
wasn't Hoppity.

681
00:29:59.021 --> 00:30:01.015
Well, he wasn't imaginary
to you,

682
00:30:01.017 --> 00:30:04.001
and that's all that matters.
Marlee and I are here

683
00:30:04.003 --> 00:30:07.023
to clarify a few misconceptions
about mail-in voting.

684
00:30:08.001 --> 00:30:10.008
And what better way
to clarify something

685
00:30:10.010 --> 00:30:12.008
than with sign language.

686
00:30:12.010 --> 00:30:15.022
I know a sign that's pretty
much universally understood.

687
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:19.012
One misconception
is that voter fraud is something

688
00:30:19.014 --> 00:30:21.010
that -- what's the word?

689
00:30:21.012 --> 00:30:23.004
Exists.
Right.

690
00:30:23.006 --> 00:30:25.008
One misconception
is that voter fraud

691
00:30:25.010 --> 00:30:28.000
is something that exists.

692
00:30:28.002 --> 00:30:29.006
In the last 20 years,

693
00:30:29.008 --> 00:30:31.016
over 250 million ballots
have been cast,

694
00:30:31.018 --> 00:30:35.007
and there have been
143 instances of voter fraud.

695
00:30:35.009 --> 00:30:37.013
143,000?

696
00:30:37.015 --> 00:30:39.021
No, just 143.

697
00:30:39.023 --> 00:30:43.006
That averages to one case
per state every six years,

698
00:30:43.008 --> 00:30:48.002
for a fraud rate of 0.00006%.

699
00:30:48.004 --> 00:30:49.020
Another worry seems to be

700
00:30:49.022 --> 00:30:53.005
a ballot might be sent
to your dog.

701
00:30:53.007 --> 00:30:54.010
I do worry about that.

702
00:30:54.012 --> 00:30:56.013
Well, Marlee, you shouldn't.

703
00:30:56.015 --> 00:30:58.015
Because if a ballot
were sent to your dog,

704
00:30:58.017 --> 00:31:00.019
and your dog opened
his own mail

705
00:31:00.021 --> 00:31:04.003
and filled out the ballot,
his signature on the ballot

706
00:31:04.005 --> 00:31:05.017
would have to match
the signature

707
00:31:05.019 --> 00:31:09.001
your dog has on file
with the election commission.

708
00:31:09.003 --> 00:31:11.008
Well, I think if my dog
could pull that off,

709
00:31:11.010 --> 00:31:13.005
his vote should count.

710
00:31:13.007 --> 00:31:14.022
Say, Brad?
Yes?

711
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.017
I'm concerned
that a foreign country

712
00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:20.012
could print millions
of counterfeit ballots.

713
00:31:20.014 --> 00:31:24.001
Stop your worries,
because that can't happen.

714
00:31:24.003 --> 00:31:25.019
Why not?
For the same reason

715
00:31:25.021 --> 00:31:28.015
a foreign country
can't print a trillion dollars

716
00:31:28.017 --> 00:31:30.004
and buy the U.S. Navy.

717
00:31:30.006 --> 00:31:32.021
Look, every state and locality

718
00:31:32.023 --> 00:31:34.019
has it's own
security protections,

719
00:31:34.021 --> 00:31:38.009
but they're considerable, so
let's take just one example --

720
00:31:38.011 --> 00:31:41.015
Jefferson County,
Colorado.

721
00:31:41.017 --> 00:31:45.015
"Nil sine Numine,"
the Colorado state motto.

722
00:31:45.017 --> 00:31:48.018
It means, "Nothing
without providence."

723
00:31:48.020 --> 00:31:50.022
That seemed beside the point,

724
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.009
which is that someone
trying to forge a ballot

725
00:31:53.011 --> 00:31:55.018
would need a unique
ballot number,

726
00:31:55.020 --> 00:31:58.020
a barcode compatible
with that county's system,

727
00:31:58.022 --> 00:32:02.016
a sophisticated security sleeve
that the ballot goes into,

728
00:32:02.018 --> 00:32:04.014
and of course a signature match,

729
00:32:04.016 --> 00:32:08.015
which we already went over
in the case of the voting dog.

730
00:32:08.017 --> 00:32:11.010
So, what if my mailman
steals all the ballots

731
00:32:11.012 --> 00:32:14.011
from everyone in my --
Wait a minute.

732
00:32:14.013 --> 00:32:17.011
Why am I playing the idiot
in this little sketch?

733
00:32:17.013 --> 00:32:19.008
Presumably, your mailman

734
00:32:19.010 --> 00:32:22.011
doesn't want to go to federal
prison for a long time.

735
00:32:22.013 --> 00:32:25.012
That's why he doesn't steal your
neighbor's Social Security check

736
00:32:25.014 --> 00:32:28.015
or your Pottery Barn catalogue.

737
00:32:28.017 --> 00:32:30.015
I've always wondered why.

738
00:32:30.017 --> 00:32:31.023
Really?

739
00:32:32.001 --> 00:32:35.003
No! I'm playing a moron!

740
00:32:35.005 --> 00:32:36.023
If you're young and healthy,

741
00:32:37.001 --> 00:32:41.020
you should wear a mask,
distance, and vote in person.

742
00:32:41.022 --> 00:32:45.008
But if you need to vote by mail,
know that it's secure.

743
00:32:45.010 --> 00:32:47.009
Just do it early.

744
00:32:47.011 --> 00:32:50.020
We're America.
We're good at this.

745
00:32:50.022 --> 00:32:52.016
Can you see the cards
from there?

746
00:32:52.018 --> 00:32:54.011
Miranda:
Yeah, I'm good. Thanks.

747
00:32:54.013 --> 00:32:55.014
We're rolling.

748
00:32:55.016 --> 00:32:57.004
Anytime you're ready.
Okay.

749
00:32:57.006 --> 00:32:58.018
"Hi. I'm Lin-Manuel Miranda.

751
00:33:00.014 --> 00:33:04.001
and that failure is a pain
from which I'll never recover."

Yeah. We know.

Yeah, big whoop.

It's a pretty big whoop.

Okay, I'm just gonna wing it,

770
00:33:37.021 --> 00:33:39.009
if that's okay.
Fine.

771
00:33:39.011 --> 00:33:41.014
Try not to rhyme.
It can get irritating.

772

Got it.

00:33:43.008 --> 00:33:45.007
What I wanted to say was that
election night this year

774
00:33:45.009 --> 00:33:46.017
probably isn't going
to look like

775
00:33:46.019 --> 00:33:48.007
the election nights
we're familiar with.

776

We're used to the networks

projecting the winners
in each state

778

just minutes or even seconds
after the polls close.

779
00:33:53.023 --> 00:33:55.009
But this year, because of COVID,

780
00:33:55.011 --> 00:33:57.015
a record number of ballots
will be cast by mail,

781
00:33:57.017 --> 00:34:00.001
and in many states, mail-in
ballots will be counted last.

782
00:34:00.003 --> 00:34:01.009
That means there's a good chance

783
00:34:01.011 --> 00:34:03.010
it could be days
before a winner is declared.

784
00:34:03.012 --> 00:34:05.002
And what you're likely to see --

785
00:34:05.004 --> 00:34:08.006
whether it's the presidential
race or down-ballot races --

786
00:34:08.008 --> 00:34:10.007
is one candidate well ahead
on election night

787
00:34:10.009 --> 00:34:12.001
and the other candidate
closing the gap

788
00:34:12.003 --> 00:34:13.021
as all the ballots are counted.

789
00:34:13.023 --> 00:34:15.014
That's not a sign something
sinister is happening.

790
00:34:15.016 --> 00:34:17.014
It's a sign
that every one of our votes

791
00:34:17.016 --> 00:34:19.004
are being carefully counted.

792
00:34:19.006 --> 00:34:21.006
In fact, there's an interesting
story of James Madison

793
00:34:21.008 --> 00:34:23.023
and his blacksmith in 17--
No. No, no.

794
00:34:24.001 --> 00:34:25.010
Okay. My point is,

795
00:34:25.012 --> 00:34:28.006
election night will probably
be different this year --

796
00:34:28.008 --> 00:34:30.017
It could be days before a winner
is officially determined,

797
00:34:30.019 --> 00:34:32.010
declared, and certified --

798
00:34:32.012 --> 00:34:35.000
But it won't be because
anything fishy's going on.

799
00:34:35.002 --> 00:34:36.020
And this is important
to remember.

800
00:34:36.022 --> 00:34:38.004
In American elections,

801
00:34:38.006 --> 00:34:40.022
candidates don't declare
themselves the winner.

802
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:43.010
State election officials
and nonpartisan news outlets

803
00:34:43.012 --> 00:34:45.015
like the Associated Press
declare the winner.

804
00:34:45.017 --> 00:34:47.011
So all of us,
no matter who we vote for,

805
00:34:47.013 --> 00:34:50.018
have to wait for that full and
careful count to be completed

806
00:34:50.020 --> 00:34:54.023
and not to be swayed by
speculation or misinformation.

807
00:34:55.001 --> 00:34:57.004
Have confidence in the election.

1090
00:47:57.011 --> 00:48:00.000
But two centuries of progress

1091
00:48:00.002 --> 00:48:02.022
just came to a halt
seven years ago

1092
00:48:03.000 --> 00:48:06.006
when the Supreme Court
gutted the Voting Rights Act

1093
00:48:06.008 --> 00:48:08.003
and said that even states
and counties

1094
00:48:08.005 --> 00:48:10.014
with long histories
of voter suppression

1095
00:48:10.016 --> 00:48:13.020
no longer had to submit
changes in their election laws

1096
00:48:13.022 --> 00:48:17.016
to the Justice Department
for review.

1097
00:48:17.018 --> 00:48:20.022
In her strong dissent,
Justice Ginsburg said

1098
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.022
that throwing out a system that
had worked so well for so long

1099
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:29.005
was like, "throwing away
your umbrella in a rainstorm

1100
00:48:29.007 --> 00:48:31.022
because you're not getting wet."

1101
00:48:32.000 --> 00:48:35.015
Well, we're all getting wet now.

1102
00:48:35.017 --> 00:48:38.019
We've been rained on
in the last seven years,

1103
00:48:38.021 --> 00:48:41.020
by 26 states that have
made it harder to vote.

1104
00:48:41.022 --> 00:48:45.019
Voter I.D. laws, cuts in
voting hours and early voting,

1105
00:48:45.021 --> 00:48:47.011
purges of voter rolls,

1106
00:48:47.013 --> 00:48:50.013
and eliminating polling places
and voting machines

1107
00:48:50.015 --> 00:48:52.023
so that you're standing in line
for hours,

1108
00:48:53.001 --> 00:48:56.009
and now even crippling
the Postal Service

1109
00:48:56.011 --> 00:48:58.007
in the midst of a pandemic

1110
00:48:58.009 --> 00:49:02.005
so that your vote
might not be counted at all.

1111
00:49:02.007 --> 00:49:04.006
So ask yourself this --

1112
00:49:04.008 --> 00:49:06.020
If your vote really
doesn't matter,

1113
00:49:06.022 --> 00:49:10.003
why are people
working so very hard

1114
00:49:10.005 --> 00:49:13.009
to make sure you don't cast it?

1115
00:49:13.011 --> 00:49:16.019
Because it does matter.
There's real power in your vote,

1116
00:49:16.021 --> 00:49:20.012
the power to make
our Union more perfect.

1117
00:49:20.014 --> 00:49:22.000
And there's only one response

1118
00:49:22.002 --> 00:49:25.012
to people who are trying
to suppress your vote --

1119
00:49:25.014 --> 00:49:27.012
make sure they fail.

1120
00:49:27.014 --> 00:49:30.004
It's our turn to push
the boulder up the hill,

1121
00:49:30.006 --> 00:49:34.016
our turn to use our power
to make a more perfect Union,

1122
00:49:34.018 --> 00:49:40.002
our turn, our sacred duty,
to vote.

1123
00:49:40.004 --> 00:49:42.009
I'm Sterling Brown,
and first, let me say

1124
00:49:42.011 --> 00:49:43.020
it's an honor
to be here tonight.

1125
00:49:43.022 --> 00:49:45.008
And you should know
we all think you're doing

1126
00:49:45.010 --> 00:49:47.004
a perfectly adequate job.

1127
00:49:47.006 --> 00:49:48.016
Appreciate it.

1128
00:49:48.018 --> 00:49:53.007
Only 40% of African-Americans
between 18 and 24 voted in 2016.

1129
00:49:53.009 --> 00:49:56.000
And today, even at the height
of Black Lives Matter,

1130
00:49:56.002 --> 00:49:58.017
too many young Black men think
elections just don't matter.

1131
00:49:58.019 --> 00:50:01.012
It's not surprising
that many of you feel that way

1132
00:50:01.014 --> 00:50:03.001
after decades
of suppression,

1133
00:50:03.003 --> 00:50:06.000
disenfranchisement,
gerrymandering, and much worse.

1134
00:50:06.002 --> 00:50:09.005
In 2016, there were foreign
disinformation campaigns

1135
00:50:09.007 --> 00:50:12.005
aimed specifically at reducing
the Black male vote.

1136
00:50:12.007 --> 00:50:13.020
And they were successful.

1137
00:50:13.022 --> 00:50:16.011
So it's no wonder that so many
have tuned out, turned off,

1138
00:50:16.013 --> 00:50:19.001
and come to think that politics
doesn't speak for them.

1139
00:50:19.003 --> 00:50:21.001
Don't fall for it.
Don't listen to those

1140
00:50:21.003 --> 00:50:23.018
who are dying for you
to sit on your hands.

1141
00:50:23.020 --> 00:50:26.022
If you're sick, not just
of the coronavirus,

1142
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:28.008
but the fact
that African-Americans

1143
00:50:28.010 --> 00:50:30.010
are twice as likely
to die from it --

1144
00:50:30.012 --> 00:50:33.000
this election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1145
00:50:33.002 --> 00:50:35.011
If you're sick, not just
of the recession,

1146
00:50:35.013 --> 00:50:37.022
but the fact that
our community's hit first,

1147
00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:39.013
hardest, and longest,

1148
00:50:39.015 --> 00:50:42.004
this election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1149
00:50:42.006 --> 00:50:45.021
If you're sick, not just
of police brutality,

1150
00:50:45.023 --> 00:50:48.007
but the fact that no amount
of marching or shouting

1151
00:50:48.009 --> 00:50:50.000
seems to change
a damn thing about it,

1152
00:50:50.002 --> 00:50:52.020
this election matters to you,
and you need to vote.

1153
00:50:52.022 --> 00:50:55.011
This election will decide
our health care,

1154
00:50:55.013 --> 00:50:58.002
our economy,
our criminal justice system,

1155
00:50:58.004 --> 00:51:01.014
our cities, our schools
our country --

1156
00:51:01.016 --> 00:51:06.002
<i>our</i> <i>country -- a country</i>
in which we are not guests.

1157
00:51:06.004 --> 00:51:08.021
This is no time to tune out,
it's time to turn out

1158
00:51:08.023 --> 00:51:10.013
in greater numbers
than ever before.

1159
00:51:10.015 --> 00:51:12.021
If you want politicians
to care about you,

1160
00:51:12.023 --> 00:51:14.017
to care about your family
and your future,

1161
00:51:14.019 --> 00:51:17.018
don't pass up the greatest tool
at your disposal.

1162
00:51:17.020 --> 00:51:22.010
We can't let anyone discourage
or deceive us into turning away.

1163
00:51:24.007 --> 00:51:27.011
Emily: "Act Four.
Interior lobby -- night.

1164
00:51:27.013 --> 00:51:30.020
C.J. comes in the front door
carrying three pizzas.

1165
00:51:30.022 --> 00:51:32.005
She takes out her swipe card

1166
00:51:32.007 --> 00:51:34.009
and runs it through
the security detector.

1167
00:51:34.011 --> 00:51:37.003
Suddenly, alarms buzz.

1168
00:51:37.005 --> 00:51:38.014
Would you stay
right there, please?

1169
00:51:38.016 --> 00:51:40.007
Tommy, it's me.
Stay there.

1170
00:51:40.009 --> 00:51:41.018
What happened?
She ran the card through.

1171
00:51:41.020 --> 00:51:43.000
It must be bent
or something.

1172
00:51:43.002 --> 00:51:44.008
Would you stay
right there please?

1173
00:51:44.010 --> 00:51:45.012
I'm staying right here.
I haven't moved.

1174
00:51:45.014 --> 00:51:47.003
Look --
Guys, it's me.

1175
00:51:47.005 --> 00:51:48.012
This card says
you're Charles Young.

1176
00:51:48.014 --> 00:51:50.012
Yes. Okay, well,
obviously I'm not.

1177
00:51:50.014 --> 00:51:52.000
Why do you have a card
that doesn't belong to you?

1178
00:51:52.002 --> 00:51:53.004
-Because --
-What's goin' on?

1179
00:51:53.006 --> 00:51:54.018
Mr. McGarry,
this woman has a card

1180
00:51:54.020 --> 00:51:56.016
that doesn't belong to her.
C.J., what the hell --

1181
00:51:56.018 --> 00:51:58.016
Charlie's getting me back for --
Stay where you are, please.

1182
00:51:58.018 --> 00:52:00.011
-Oh, my God.
-Tommy, sign her in

1183
00:52:00.013 --> 00:52:01.023
-with an appointment.
-An appointment?

1184
00:52:02.001 --> 00:52:04.016
Be in your office
in 15 minutes.

1185
00:52:09.016 --> 00:52:10.019
[ Sighs ]

1186
00:52:10.021 --> 00:52:12.004
Donna: Roberta,
those are all good points

1187
00:52:12.006 --> 00:52:14.001
and perfectly valid areas
of disagreement.

1188
00:52:14.003 --> 00:52:16.000
But what I don't understand --

1189
00:52:16.002 --> 00:52:17.012
I was saying what
I don't understand

1190
00:52:17.014 --> 00:52:19.011
is that you guys were such fans
of the President.

1191
00:52:19.013 --> 00:52:21.002
You loved him
when he was Governor,

1192
00:52:21.004 --> 00:52:24.018
and you worked so hard for him
when he was campaigning.

1193
00:52:24.020 --> 00:52:27.000
Yeah.

1194
00:52:27.002 --> 00:52:28.019
Yeah. Well, he didn't lie.

1195
00:52:28.021 --> 00:52:30.020
No, he didn't lie, Mackey.
And I'll tell you what else,

1196
00:52:30.022 --> 00:52:33.000
the man just accepted
a Congressional censure,

1197
00:52:33.002 --> 00:52:35.003
and I think it's time --

1198
00:52:35.005 --> 00:52:36.018
And he should be held
to a higher standard,

1199
00:52:36.020 --> 00:52:38.020
and believe me, he holds himself
to a higher standard,

1200
00:52:38.022 --> 00:52:42.016
but sometimes he doesn't meet it
because presidents aren't kings.

1201
00:52:42.018 --> 00:52:44.018
This one's an economist
from New Hampshire,

1202
00:52:44.020 --> 00:52:46.013
and I think it's time
you got off your horse.

1203
00:52:46.015 --> 00:52:49.000
Donna --
I am standing out here

1204
00:52:49.002 --> 00:52:51.004
in the middle of the night --
Donna --

1205
00:52:51.006 --> 00:52:52.008
Hold on, please.

1206
00:52:52.010 --> 00:52:53.017
No, I've kinda had it
now, too.

1207
00:52:53.019 --> 00:52:55.006
They're shocked and appalled
and disappointed.

1208
00:52:55.008 --> 00:52:56.020
But really, they're
none of those things,

1209
00:52:56.022 --> 00:52:58.009
they just wish they were.

1210
00:52:58.011 --> 00:53:02.013
Never missing an opportunity
to feel morally superior --

1211
00:53:02.015 --> 00:53:04.022
I don't know,
what do you want me to do now?

1212
00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:07.008
Let 'em vote.

1213
00:53:07.010 --> 00:53:08.015
What does that mean?

1214
00:53:08.017 --> 00:53:11.018
I came out here to tell you
to let 'em vote.

1215
00:53:14.015 --> 00:53:17.003
Hey, guys, it's Josh Lyman.

1216
00:53:17.005 --> 00:53:19.005
We just wanted to call
and thank you again

1217
00:53:19.007 --> 00:53:22.017
for all your work and remind you
that the polls

1218
00:53:22.019 --> 00:53:25.004
in Hartsfield's Landing open
in 14 minutes.

1219
00:53:25.006 --> 00:53:28.017
You got the chains
on the truck, Mackey?

1220
00:53:28.019 --> 00:53:31.013
Yeah, and tell your sister
in Oregon

1221
00:53:31.015 --> 00:53:33.013
I'm gonna try to learn
something about salmon.

1222
00:53:33.015 --> 00:53:37.009
Right now, all I know is
they're good on a bagel.

G'night.

1224

Maybe they <i>are</i>
morally superior.

1225
00:53:43.023 --> 00:53:47.013
Anyway, they get to vote.

♪♪

1228
00:54:13.014 --> 00:54:15.018
Toby:
Abbey told me a story once.

1229
00:54:17.014 --> 00:54:21.023
She said you were
at a party once

1230
00:54:22.001 --> 00:54:25.000
where you were
bending a guy's ear.

1231
00:54:25.002 --> 00:54:28.006
You were telling him
that Ellie had mastered

1232
00:54:28.008 --> 00:54:29.020
her multiplication tables

1233
00:54:29.022 --> 00:54:34.005
and that she was in third grade
reading at a fifth grade level,

1234
00:54:34.007 --> 00:54:38.012
and she loved books,
and she'd scored two goals

1235
00:54:38.014 --> 00:54:41.009
for her soccer team
the week before,

1236
00:54:41.011 --> 00:54:44.010
and you were
going on and on.

1237
00:54:44.012 --> 00:54:48.011
And what made Abbey's
story remarkable

1238
00:54:48.013 --> 00:54:51.006
was that the party you were at
was in Stockholm.

1239
00:54:51.008 --> 00:54:54.018
The man you were talking to
