"In a crisis, people should feel like soldiers, not victims."
Wow, I really appreciate that line.
"I don't blame this woman for suing me. I'm not a king, and I don't think the law should treat me like one." Hmmmmm... (stares intently at SCOTUS)
apples and oranges.
@@Mark-ke1rjThe apple actually cares about America
@@Mark-ke1rjhahahahaha HOW
@@Mark-ke1rjfunny isn't it. Trump made a lot of statements how Obama should be charged for actions he undertook while President but when it came to his actions he stated anything he did was legal.
How I wish for President Bartlett...
"Something we've never worried about before, we're wondering when the next case is going to happen." That reminds me of something.
Can't quite put my finger on it.
Wanna figure it out over a corona?
"You've been working on other stuff too, right?" By Josh is priceless
I'm not a king, and i don't think the law should treat me like one....................umm....yeah.
Yeah, that aged well until July 1st 2024
Yeah that little line buried in the dialogue sure hits a little differently now…
Perfect timing for this clip.
actually the timing would have been 4 years ago
@@firstname4337except for that line, "...I'm not a King and I don’t think the law should treat me like one."
Each line better than the next. People don’t speak like this. But it is something to aspire to.
I miss the days when hamburgers were everyday 99¢ things.
Sovereign immunity... LOL
CJ's speech at the end, that's why she qualified for Chief of Staff later on in that hurricane episode as well
Imagine living in a time when you would expect people to act in their own best interest went faced with a public health crisis.
CJ is great but this scene really illustrates why I love her.
"The law doesn't treat me like a king, although for the moment i wouldn't mind" well clearly Bartlet should've put Roberts on the bench.
Really? Where did you get your Juris Doctor Princeton?
@@cameltanker1286 Probably Harvard...and quite recently I would think...
@@antonbruce1241 More likely out of box of Cracker Jack.
Clearly SCOTUS disagrees with Sorkin take on how a president should be treated under the law.
2:30 Well that line ages well in this the year of our nightmare 2024...
In the current political climate, liberals would shun beef products like they were toxic, while conservatives would vigorously defend their right to eat tainted beef. The actual chance of getting mad cow disease from consuming beef products would be lost in the commotion.
The chance of getting covid was juuuuuust a little bit higher than the chance of getting mad cow would be. "Liberals" were correct in taking it seriously.
Nope. A liberal here in Calabasas California and now I’m craving a Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger from Carls!
"You cannot infringe on a citizen's right to consume a mad cow diseased burger."🤣🤣🤣
For all of Leo's bluster about how doomed the beef industry is and the knock-on effect it'll have in the rest of the economy, this plot line literally never comes up again. Maybe it means that the test was a false positive after all, but they sure made this crisis seem important... for exactly one episode.
This is beginning to sound very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it..... 🤔
I don’t know. Mad Cow hasn’t been an issue for many years.
This show would be so different today with the latest Supreme Court decision.
Sorkin might have exaggerated the public's response to a case of mad cow's disease here a little bit 😅
Tell that to the UK beef industry. Understand that Piron diseases like CJD/BSE *cannot* be reliably diagnosed before the symptoms become terminal. One cow might die, but the whole herd could be infected. And if any meat was sold, either for human or livestock consumption, anyone or anything who ate it *could* be infected.
And the only way anyone would know, is when their brains start turning to Swiss cheese, anywhere from days to years later.
Yeah. If the White House confirmed a case of Mad Cow today, millions of Americans would say it's a liberal conspiracy to get people to go Vegetarian and would eat steak for every meal in "protest".
Did he? I coulda sworn it was only a year or 2 earlier (1998ish) that Oprah got into a big legal battle with cattlers in the West for millions for just even SUGGESTING the possibility of madcow coming to US on one of her shows. It's only recently that americans have gotten so used to recalls for food that it lessened the fear of madcow, when even the lettuce, onions, and tomatoes can be and has been tainted.
Not for when it was a new thing! They really didn’t know what they were dealing with up front.
Coulda woulda. French health minister in the early 00's got crucified for wasting 200 million on enough antiviral doses for the whole country to be stockpiled if the Asian bird flu went global pandemic. It didn't and she was smashed for it.
Do nothing and let it happen, get smashed for it. In the end if the truth get out that you knew but said nothing you will be bashed because of it, and if you did what you could with the information available, history in the following decades will generally end up recognising you did the right thing.
THe American hamburger is actually a Danish invention. Since 1895, Louis' Lunch in New Haven, CT . But hey call it American, if you want.
Hold on, that "CT" does stand for Connecticut, doesn't it? Or is there a "New Haven" somewhere in Denmark as well? 🤨
Mad Cow and Foot and Mouth disease were great for Australian farmers. As a disease free country the Japanese would pay through the nose for our Beef and you couldn't pay them to eat American. Who at the time were the other big exporter to Japan.
Tĥe Trump administration has convinced me CJ was wrong.
Vegetarians should watch this episode
Law Suits and Drycleaners. A joke then.
A Man took his tan suit into a Washington DC Dry Cleaners and it was returned to him as white and watered.
Okay. Half a bad joke.
I am not saying it didn't make sense. I am fed up with chunks of time being chopped off of our time waiting for the small compensation of saying WE TOLD YOU SO!
...and then we got Covid!!
Is there no US Department of Agriculture that would handle something like this?
Yes, but as it's also a matter of public health, H&HS would take point for the general public.
CJ was absolutely right.
no, she wasn't -- you don't cause a panic and a stock market crash on a possibility
hmm..covid..hmmhmmm
I like the decision at the end. Lower level - not Lawmaker level.
It was a family thing. Possible ancestry. How on earth did it become a genetics thing?
Oh one last thing the current President of The Heritage (sic) Foundation - you will not win.
Kevin Roberts in one case at least.
Equilibrium is mentioned in this VT's script. 3 minutes 40 seconds in.
The Equals and Come Back.
Asked and answered. Retained and coherent.
Trump is a joke
First
If this were to happen here today....the left would be ecstatic! They would LOVE to be able to outlaw beef!!!!
No, and don't think you have a monopoly on eating meat. I'll have my steak medium thank you very fucking much.
@@GamerKatz_1971 Nice of you to COMPLETELY misread what I wrote. Are you a Biden voter????
@@antonbruce1241 Asked as if that were an insult. Are you a Trump voter? LOL Now THAT's an insult.
@@antonbruce1241 I'm about as far left as anyone, and I eat meat quite frequently. It's probably not good that I do, but there's only so much time in the day.
Get help,
