I’m from there. There was a comedian who did a route about being from Bellevue, where the Strategic Air Command is (the hit on Omaha). He said if there is ever a launch, he said he is grabbing a lawn chair, going out to his front yard, drop a hit of acid, and watch the pretty colors. I think he was just opening the gravity of national security affairs to her.
So this page pops up out of nowhere, we are all enjoying the looks back. But I can’t stop remembering when President Bartlet told Sam that one day he would run for President. I’m hoping for this kind surprise…..
That happens when santos finishes 8 years, sam goes off to find his “bartlet/santos”, becomes cos for that for 8 years and then his deputy goes off to find his “sam’s santos/bartlett” and then puts on the ticket to be vp and then 8 years goes by and sam becomes president :) . So in effect 24 years from santos’s presidency, sam becomes vp and 32 from that is when sam becomes president!
@@ashwinoashwin Are we discussing Sam Seaborn or Joe Biden? It's definitely the long game for political strategy. I'm guessing Hoynes comes up short again? He's the Jeb Bush in this scenario.
Didn't Bartlett tell Charlie that as well? That would be a hell of a comeback for this universe. President Charles Young, who wins the WH after 2 terms in the House, 1 term in the Senate. Divorced from his first wife (Zoe Bartlett-Young), 2 kids, non-identical twins. Masters Degree in History from GW. Guest stars from the original cast but an all-new regular cast. Bring back the Sork to run the show, Schlamme to work his magic, betcha you got another hit on your hands...
Bartlett does but Leo and the others don’t. Of course Bartlett could’ve pardoned them but the international warrant for their arrest could hamper overseas vacation plans
Bartlett plays a Democrat, the current real SCOTUS would find some way to make sure he's held accountable. Only Repubs will be truly unaccountable if this current SCOTUS has their way
@@reginaldshort8486 Not just overseas, every embassy is foreign soil. All Fitz would have to do to get a ticket to The Hague would be to meet an old Royal Navy buddy and accidentally set a toe over the doorway of 1300 Massachusetts Avenue 😂😂😂 I'm pretty sure one of us (European countries I mean) caught an arms dealer that way once, wasn't even a sting op, guy was just having an off day and forgot he had a warrant out in the country whose embassy he went to meet someone in the foyer of 😂
I KNOW! I can't believe they also feel the need to subject us to it on these short clips as well. We are all fans of the West Wing, we don't need to hear it ANOTHER million times.
"Let me just say this: I've never been in a street gang before, since that's basically what we are -- a pretty well-funded one -- I just want to say it feels great, and I think that after this we should go out and get girls and, I don't know, knock over a fruit stand."
I love her simple "No" when asked if she heard about the crash. Leo and the President spent countless nights losing sleep over this, but the average citizen on the outside doesn't even know or care about who the defense minister of a foreign nation was.
This scene reminds me of a scene in the British comedy Yes, Prime Minister. In which the Sir Humphrey Appleby and the Permanent Security of the Foreign Office discuss foreign and democracy. The stages in which the government get's through conflicts.
I love how all the others are arguing over tactics and strategy while President Barlet is having his own conversation with Leo about something mundane. It's not because he doesn't care, it's because he figured out the answer the others were skirting around before the conversation even began. So he was already in "What's next?" mode.
The answer to “We destroyed all the evidence” is “No, you think you destroyed all the evidence.” You would be surprised at what evidence of any event can still survive. For a start the guys who did the actual killing are still alive. Then there’s Danny’s cricket loving source.
I mean, when you think of how the international coalition to sanction Russia and support Ukraine was put together despite Russian, Chinese, and Republican opposition - I imagine there were a lot of serious talks with very serious experts.
They're sitting alone in the Situation Room in the basement of the White House, surrounded by armed military guards and Secret Service agents. I'm not sure nuance is necessary at this point.
Beijing and North Korea LOL -- even in 2024 North Korea doesn't have anything that can reach the US -- they can't reach Alaska or Hawaii -- they'd NEVER reach Indiana
Showing a lady her hometown wouldn't survive a nuclear attack is the worst attempt at flirting in history
He was being funny, I think that's ok.
Second-worst, after Leo attempting to hit on her while having to testify in front of Congress in the previous season
Leo is so dull

@@marcokiteLeo is awesome. I would love to have a boss like Leo.
We know its manufactured becasue we destroyed all the evidence. Awesome line.

@@theonetruerobb4852 I dont think the Bartlet family is too big on divorce.
"History has shown that if you just wait and show it to a divorce lawyer you can have half my stuff"
😂
you don't know, some of it is good stuff!
“Look at that! Lincoln survives the first of the-“ *nuclear warhead impacts*
“…No, not so much…” God, I love Leo!
Leo is so boring but he doesn't know it.
Hey they didnt need a lawyer, Bartlett has immunity on all official acts.
Now lol

@@noahbrown6970 that's not quite right. Embassies have special rules, but they aren't foreign soil.
"When it comes time to give out gang nicknames your going to be I don't know but your not going to have a good nickname. 🤣
I absolutely adore this show. Everything is perfect except the damn closing credits music

They didn’t include Bartlett’s line about how he’d never been in a street gang before.
Which was frankly obvious, even the First Lady would have had trouble making the stuff he said rhyme.
Yea the editing on this channel is just baffling

Now put up the part where she and the president talk later in the episode about "International Law"

I think the key point is that they know any evidence that *Israel* did it is manufactured.
They're not evidence, they're part of the "we".
RIP John Spencer
Any evidence is manufactured
How do you know?
Because we destroyed all the evidence
Schadenfreude!
The good news is that now, with the Supreme Court immunity ruling, the scenario of this storyline will no longer be necessary.
I wish they would stop creating cliffhangers!!!! 🤨
Ah yes. I remember a time when I thought the president and White House actually functioned like this. Stupid me.

@@TekGriffonHey you put Russian opposition twice in your comment
She's somewhat lacking nuance for a lawyer.

She wants it to come from him.

This presumes that China rolled its mobile nukes into NK to attack from a less expected angle.
