Jim : I just couldn't be less interested in WikiLeaks.

Neal : You're nuts. The open sourcing of classified information is going to be an absolute game changer for journalists of our generation.

Jim : All I heard was sounds coming from the mouth of a nerd.

Neal : Have you scanned the WikiLeaks cables?

Jim : No, Neal. Because I spend my time trying to find and protect my sources.

Neal : This right here is always the swan song of the obsolete when you stare the future paradigm in the face. "He on the side of technology wins." You know who said that?

Jim : It was you. I was sitting right here.

Neal : Napoleon.

Jim : Things worked out well for him.

Neal : Weren't there girls standing here a minute ago?

Jim : Yes, you scared them off with your Wikinerd pitch.

Charlie : I've been sitting here for two and a half hours and I still don't know why. It's like being in the cast of a Fellini film.

Reese : Was it all GOP bashing, or did we cover anything else?

Charlie : We did almost three times as many international news stories as Fox and MSNBC combined. And unless we're all blind, the Tea Party is the one doing the GOP bashing.

Reese : Charlie, give me a break.

Charlie : Ask Bryce Delaney.

Will : Bryce Delaney became the sixth GOP incumbent to be ousted by a Tea Party candidate. The American Conservative Union gives Delaney a 97% rating over his 10 terms in Congress. He was a Deputy Whip, he was state cochair of the McCain/Palin campaign, and he sponsored or cosponsored 38 pieces of legislation that were signed into law. He lost his primary to a dentist 72-28. Congressman Delaney, thank you for joining us.

Delaney : Thank you.

Will : Congressman, you have a consistent voting record on conservative issues, and in the past five elections you've won your district by double digits. What happened?

Delaney : My pollster tells me that I gave the wrong answer at a town hall meeting.

Will : What was the question?

Delaney : Is President Obama a socialist?

Will : And your answer?

Delaney : My answer was that I disagree with the man on how to run a government, but the talk of him being a socialist or a Marxist or a Kenyan was a silly distraction.

Will : You paid a big price for that. You were leading in the polls at the time.

Delaney : Will, there are brilliant conservative minds in the Republican Party. And the individual price we are paying for not pretending to be crazy is nothing compared to the price that the country is going to pay for not having a reasonable opposition party.

Will : You made another mistake, too, right?

Delaney : You're referring to HR2559.

Will : Yes.

Delaney : I cosponsored a bill.

Will : With a Democrat.

Delaney : Once you're elected, you have a duty to work with other people who have been elected. My friends across the aisle had been elected.

Will : What did HR2559 provide for?

Delaney : It provided for homeless veterans to receive housing vouchers and services such as counseling, job training.

Will : Thank you for your service to your country, sir. You'll be missed in Congress. Good luck.

Delaney : Thank you.

Will : It's not strange I'm not hearing anything from the 44th floor?

Charlie : What were you expecting?

Will : It's just bizarre because the show's taken a pretty sharp turn.

Charlie : She never watched the old show.

Will : What?

Charlie : Maybe once or twice.

Will : Too dumbed down? Has she seen the new show?

Charlie : That's a fair question.

Will : Charlie.

Charlie : She's a Democrat. She gives money.

Will : She gives money to everybody. She bets on all the horses in the race.

Charlie : If there was a problem, I'd have heard about it.

Reese : There's a retreat in Telluride my mother and I have been invited to every year for the last nine years.

Will : We're not here talking about ratings, are we?

Reese : I wonder if what we're about to see has anything to do with why we weren't invited this year.

Will : Does anybody mind if I start drinking a lot of bourbon right now and then a little while later put my fist through his head?

Reese : I think you've had enough bourbon for one lifetime.

Will : Not my lifetime.

Reese : We lost David and Charles.

MacKenzie : Thank you for staying late tonight. I really want to get this one right tomorrow.

Will : Don't we want to get them all right?

MacKenzie : You know what, Hef? There's a Hooters a few blocks from here just filled with waitresses who are stocked like a game fishing pond for you to go... out like a fish with--

Will : You lost the thread, right?

MacKenzie : Yeah. Let's start from the top again. Maggie.

Maggie : Uh, the Tea Party presents itself as a grassroots movement, which means it should be fiercely resistant to central control, especially traditional, uh, uh... uh-- sorry. Especially traditional power structures.

Will : We're joined from Manhattan, Kansas, by Mike Lyndall, a construction contractor, and Sheryl Bell, a registered nurse. Mr. Lyndall and Miss Bell are the founders and cochairs of the Riley County Tea Party Express. Welcome.

MacKenzie : They're gonna say the Tea Party represents the voice of the true owners of the United States.

Will : Mike, tell us why you became involved with the Tea Party movement.

Mike : Well, first and foremost, we want to take our country back.

Will : All right, just to be clear, is your country my country, too?

Mike : Of course.

Will : Okay. Who do you want to take our country back from?

Mike : We want to take it back from a Congress and a president who've forgotten that government derives its power from the consent of the governed and instead is at the beck and call of special interests and corporations.

Will : You describe the Tea Party as a grassroots movement, right?

Bell : Absolutely. We have no central control, no traditional power structure. And that is something that seems to confound the media.

Will : I'm sorry?

Bell : That's what confounds the media. It's what the media doesn't get. We are not being run by a George Soros type figure. We are "We the People."

MacKenzie : There it is.

Jim : They walked right into it. If you follow the money, nearly all of it eventually leads to AFP.

Will : Where does your funding come from?

Bell : What little funding we have comes from private citizens who mail in $5, $10, $1, whatever they can spare.

Will : Okay, have either of you ever heard the name David Koch?

Mike : I'm sorry?

Will : David Koch.

Mike : No.

Will : Have you ever heard the name Charles Koch?

Bell : No.

Will : Have you ever heard the name Koch Industries?

Bell : Are you talking about Coca-Cola?

Will : K-O-C-H. Have either of you heard of Koch Industries?

Bell : Nope.

Will : I think that very soon you will. Koch Industries is the second largest private company in the country. Bigger than Coca-Cola. And the Koch brothers' personal wealth of $50 billion is exceeded only by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and they could buy and sell George Soros 10 times over. They own dozens of companies and industries including oil and gas, refining and chemicals, minerals, fertilizer, forestry, polymers and fibers and ranching. You two both attended the Texas Defending the American Dream Summit over the July 4th weekend?

Maggie : It was a Tea Party event. The invitation-- Excuse me. The invitation read...

Will : "Today the voices of average Americans are being drowned out by lobbyists and special interests. But you can do something about it."

Mike : Yes.

Will : That summit was paid for entirely by Americans For Prosperity, AFP, which has two founders-- David and Charles Koch. In the last six months, they've bankrolled Tea Party candidates in excess of $40 million. Sheryl, Mike, are the Koch brothers average Americans whose voices are being drowned out by lobbyists and special interests? I'm confounded.

- In four, three, two-- rolling.

Will : Your candidate Mike Lee is a fierce supporter of the Constitution.

Tea Party Spokesperson : That's why he's our candidate.

Will : Should he win in the general election, which seems likely since Utah hasn't sent a Democrat to the Senate in 40 years, he'll have to swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.

Tea Party Spokesperson : And I'm looking forward to being there when he does.

Will : He's also signed a note to Grover Norquist not to raise taxes.

Tea Party Spokesperson : That's right.

Will : Which oath is he bound by?

Tea Party Spokesperson : He'll be bound by both.

Will : Is that possible?

Tea Party Spokesperson : Of course it is. And that's how we're going to rein in government spending.

Will : Do you think part of a senator's job should include listening to experts, considering new information, hearing dissenting opinions, and then casting his best vote?

Tea Party Spokesperson : I sure do.

Will : If 10 Nobel Prize-winning economists were to walk into his office and say, "This is a national emergency and we need to increase revenue by asking for a small sacrifice from the wealthiest 1% of us," Mike Lee wouldn't even discuss it? Based on his zero years of experience in economics and tax policy, he's taken an oath not to learn anything new while a member of the US Senate?

- When you blur the distinction between public and private, there are problems.

Will : Same thing when you blur the distinction between answers and nonsense. Does a private restaurant in Kentucky have the right to deny service to black people?

- What it gets into is this-- If you decide that restaurants are publically owned--

Will : Restaurants are privately owned, and it was a yes or no question that should be easy to answer. Does Rand Paul believe that a private business should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of race?

Will : Sharron Angle's angry because the press is reporting what she says to the press. The statement goes on. "We needed to have the press be our friend. We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer." Do not laugh. I felt the exact same way about the bar exam.

MacKenzie : Whoa, Will just made a joke.

Reese : When did that newsroom become a courtroom?

- I was going to say the same thing.

Charlie : He was a prosecutor.

Reese : I'm sorry?

Charlie : Before he was an anchor, before he was a reporter, before he was a speechwriter, he was a prosecutor. He graduated college at 19, law school at 21, and had signed up with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office where he racked up a 94% conviction record. The newsroom turned into a courtroom, Reese, because I made the decision that American voters need a fucking lawyer.

Will : "You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason, and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking towards those Second Amendment remedies." Syntax problems notwithstanding, that was a Republican nominee for the US Senate saying she hasn't ruled out a violent overthrow of her government. Terry Smith is up next with the Capital Report. I'm Will McAvoy. Good night.

- And we're clear.

MacKenzie : Hello.

Danielle : Hi.

MacKenzie : You're dressed much too nicely to work here.

Danielle : No, I'm meeting Will. We're going out.

MacKenzie : You're going out?

Danielle : Yeah.

MacKenzie : Are you a relative of Will's? Are you related?

Danielle : No. No, we're going on a date.

MacKenzie : That's fantastic! I don't know why I said that so loud. Um, h-how do you guys know each-- How did you meet?

 - Mac, I think--

MacKenzie : Not now.

- Okay.

MacKenzie : How do you know Will?

Danielle : I work for the Jets and Will's a big fan.

MacKenzie : The New York Jets?

Danielle : Yeah. We met in the owner's...

MacKenzie : That's sensational.

Danielle :...suite.

MacKenzie : What do you do for the Jets?

Danielle : I'm head of the Flight Crew.

MacKenzie : You're a pilot?

Danielle : I'm head of the cheerleading squad. We're called the Flight Crew.

MacKenzie : You're a cheerleader.

Danielle : And choreographer. It pays for graduate school.

Will : Hey, Danielle.

Danielle : Hey, dude. That was awesome.

Will : No.

Danielle : I was sitting watching you right there while you were right there.

MacKenzie : You want to hear something that will blow your mind? In about three hours, he'll be on TV on the West Coast while at the same time out with you on a date. Unless he gets tired, which happens sometimes because he's old.

Will : This is Mackenzie McHale. She's my secretary.

MacKenzie : Multiple Peabody-winning executive producer.

Danielle : I'm Danielle.

MacKenzie : That's a beautiful name!

Will : Why are you shouting?

MacKenzie : Can I talk to you for a second?

Will : Just give me a minute to change. We'll be out of here.

MacKenzie : You're going on a date with a cheerleader?

Will : Not a high school cheerleader. A professional cheerleader.

MacKenzie : That doesn't make it better.

Will : Can I help you?

MacKenzie : She's a student.

Will : A graduate student.

MacKenzie : In philosophy?

Will : Physical therapy.

MacKenzie : There are better ways to get back at me.

Will : I'll put up a suggestion box.

MacKenzie : Can I warn you about something? You're a rich and famous person. And for that reason only, she may want to sleep with you.

Will : That didn't sound like something that should come with a warning. That sounded like something that should come with balloons.

MacKenzie : I loathe you right now.

Will : You've got ink on your face.

MacKenzie : I work with pens!

Will : Get a grip.

MacKenzie : Yeah, I know!

Charlie : Hello.

MacKenzie : Whatever!

Charlie : Good show tonight.

Will : Thank you.

MacKenzie : He was talking to me!

Charlie : Stay on the Tea Party. Hard-core conservatives are getting primaried.

Will : In six weeks I haven't heard anything from the 44th floor. How are they with this?

Charlie : Good. Good. I'll tell you when there's something to worry about.

- So now we've really got something to worry about 'cause he goes out--

Charlie : What problem do we have? 7% drop? We lose that when the Yankees are playing the Red Sox.

Reese : Brad, why did you say now we've really got something to worry about?

- He goes after Jim DeMint.

Will : Mr. Wexler, I'd like to talk about Senator DeMint's recent statements about gay marriage. He said it shouldn't be legal because of the diseases prevalent in the homosexual population. Am I mischaracterizing that?

Wexler : No, sir, you're not.

Will : By diseases, Senator DeMint is referring to HIV and AIDS?

Maggie : 18,000.

Wexler : Exactly. Normal God-fearing heterosexual couples don't spread those kind of diseases.

Jim : 18,000.

Will : As a matter of fact, the rate of contraction of HIV among gay couples is now lower than it is among heterosexual couples.

MacKenzie : 18,000. Nod if you copy.

Wexler : Well, if you're talking about Africa, I'd have to see the statistics for myself.

Will : They're in a packet right in front of you. But let me ask you something. Do you believe that the American soldiers who fought in World War I were good, moral people?

Wexler : I'm sure they were, and God bless them.

Will : I don't think He did bless them because 18,000 US troops were sidelined by VD during that war.

Wexler : That sounds a little high to be believed. Did you pull those numbers out of--

Will : I'm sorry. That number was wrong.

Wexler : That's what I thought.

Will : It was 18,000 every day.

MacKenzie : So that second segment was too long.

Maggie : Yes, it won't happen again.

MacKenzie : Good. Uh-oh. Let's see who we have tonight. Hi. You must be waiting for Will.

Darshana : Yes, I'm Darshana Yadav.

MacKenzie : Mackenzie McHale. So where's he--

Will : Hey, Darshana.

Darshana : Hey. I caught the end. You were great.

Will : Oh, thank you. Do you mind waiting just a second while I change?

Darshana : Sure.

MacKenzie : Nice meeting you. Spinning instructor?

Will : Neurologist at Columbia Presbyterian. Chief of Surgery. That would make her a brain surgeon. Literally a brain surgeon.

MacKenzie : That's not hard to be.

- It would be accurate to say it started with his on-air apology.

Charlie : Pardon me, it would be accurate to say what started?

Reese : Was he aware that he went on television and said everything his network had done up until that point was trash?

Charlie : I think he was fully aware of what he said and that he was on television when he said it. He also took responsibility for himself and not the network or the company. What are we talking about?

Jim : Mmm, hey.

Don : You're working late.

Jim : Well, it was either this or go home. So...

Don : Listen, I was at a bar. I saw the show tonight at a bar. And I may have been overserved. I'm fine, I'm just-- If I say anything...

Jim : You want to sit down?

Don : Ahem. How much did you have to do with writing that opening tonight?

Jim : Uh... It was something Will wanted to do. He passed it around.

Don : I'd have loved to have been part of that. I could have done the show you guys want to do. I'm equipped for that.

Jim : God, Don, that's-- You can. You can. You guys can follow up. You can expand, you can rebut.

Don : I've got a mandate. Bring viewers to 10:00. I don't, and they'll try someone else until someone does. I have to cover Natalee Holloway. And you guys just set me up to look like an asshole before I even got a chance to get started.

Jim : That wasn't--

Don : Oh, no, shut up.

Jim : That wasn't our intent. And you can insist-- You can insist on--

Don : That's what you were reading on your BlackBerry, right?

Maggie : Yeah. I mean, it said "eyes only," baby.

Don : I've got eyes.

- The apology was a Monday. The following Saturday was the Times Square bomb. By Tuesday we had all the facts. This is the kind of story that makes people want to turn on the news, so you want to take advantage of it.

Reese : That's News 101, right?

Charlie : What is this meeting?

Reese : Is it News 101?

Charlie : To artificially hype the threat of a bomb? You're confusing it with Douchebaggery 101.

Reese : And the Muslim?

Charlie : That was a borderline call, but they're qualified to make borderline calls. What is this meeting about?

Reese : Keep going.

- By comparison, CBS had Katie open her show from Times Square while News Night gave it three minutes and 20 seconds. Basically said there was nothing to worry about and, as you said, mentioned that one of the people who notified the police was a Muslim.

Reese : That's called squandering an opportunity.

MacKenzie : These are the important facts. First, it was a lone wolf. Shahzad was trained in Pakistan, but he wasn't connected to a terror network. Second, the situation was handled by first responders in law enforcement, not an army. And finally, the system worked. He was taken off the plane by a final check of the flight manifest by a US Customs officer.

Kendra : What about the fact he was allowed on the plane in the first place 10 hours after the feds put him on a no-fly list?

Jim : The airline hadn't updated its files yet, which is why Customs and Border Protection does a second check. That's the system working.

MacKenzie : Three minutes at the top. Will?

Will : Agree.

MacKenzie : You understand we're making a conscious choice now to do the boring version of the story?

Will : That's not how I'd put it, but--

MacKenzie : Great.

Maggie : Mac, there's one more thing.

MacKenzie : Yeah?

Maggie : Everyone's reporting that it was a t-shirt vendor named Lance Orton who spotted the smoking car and called 9-1-1.

MacKenzie : It was.

Maggie : I know, but it turns out Lance Orton was alerted to the smoking car by a photograph vendor named Aliou Niasse, an immigrant from Senegal.

MacKenzie : Why haven't we heard about this guy?

Maggie : Two possible reasons. One is that he didn't make the call. He said... "I thought I should call 9-1-1, but my English is not very good and I had no credit left on my phone. So I walked over to Lance who has a t-shirt stall next to mine and told him."

MacKenzie : What's the second possible reason we haven't heard about him?

Maggie : He's a Muslim.

MacKenzie : How'd you get this?

Maggie : A Pakistani blog.

Will : It's not the world's most reliable source.

Maggie : I know, so I confirmed it with the NYPD, and it's true. And the Times of London has it online. And I think if the religion of the bomber is important, then so's the religion of the guy who saved everyone's life.

Will : So do I.

MacKenzie : All right. 3:20 at the top.

Reese : How many viewers did he lose that night?

- Well, we all know he made enemies that night out of Fox and right-wing radio. A lot of negative press.

Reese : How many viewers did he lose?

- People want the most up-to-date information.

Charlie : They were getting it.

Reese : Didn't feel like it when everyone else was saying it's a genuine threat--

Charlie : It didn't feel like it?

Reese : How many?

- 7%. He gave back the gains he made after Northwestern.

Reese : And that's the kind of thing that would ordinarily scare Will straight. But it didn't.

Charlie : Media Matters think progress. Howard Kurtz and the Columbia Journalism Review all praised our coverage of the Times Square bomb.

Reese : Do any of them advertise on our network?

Charlie : I don't believe they advertise anywhere.

Reese : And by any chance was it around this time that Will had some kind of epiphany about the Tea Party?

Will : The Tea Party isn't what it started out to be.

Charlie : Have you slept?

Will : I got up at 2:00 AM and broke down polling data from the Republican Senate primary race in Utah.

Charlie : I never heard anyone say that before.

Will : Someone faxed me the polling data. I don't even know who. But that doesn't matter. Bob Bennett, the most conservative member of the Senate, is going to lose his primary race to a guy named Mike Lee 'cause Lee found room to the right of Bennett.

Charlie : You wouldn't think that was possible.

Will : Back in 1968 when Rennie Davis and Hayden and their guys organized the SDS, it was specifically to end the Vietnam War. But that movement got eaten by Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin and the Yippies.

Charlie : Hoffman and Rubin were a lot more charismatic.

Will : Yeah, but it was impossible to define what the Yippies were protesting. They were about giving the finger to anyone over 30, generically hating the American establishment, dropping out, and getting high.

Charlie : And?

Will : That's how the progressive movement would be painted for the next 40 years. People passing out daisies to soldiers and trying to levitate the Pentagon.

Charlie : I was there. That damn near worked.

Will : No, it didn't. The Pentagon's a really big building. You can't levitate it.

Charlie : How is there room to the right of Bob Bennett?

Will : For starters, a centerpiece of Mike Lee's stump speech is repealing the 14th Amendment. It's an applause line, and he's going to win his primary by double digits. Charlie, I understood the Tea Party in the beginning, just like I understood the SDS. The Tea Party was a middle-class movement responding spontaneously to bad trends. Wages were stagnant, jobs were disappearing, Wall Street got trillions, and everybody was laughing at them.

Charlie : But?

Will : They've been co-opted by the radical right, which in turn has enslaved the Republican middle.

Charlie : So you think the '60s radicals and the Tea Party are roughly the same?

Will : With one big exception. Even at the height of 1968, the Democrats wouldn't have nominated Abbie Hoffman or Jerry Rubin for any office and no candidate would have sought their endorsement. Can you imagine Humphrey or Kennedy standing for a photo op with Bernardine Dohrn or Allen Ginsberg?

MacKenzie : Get there.

Will : Oh! I didn't even know you were here.

MacKenzie : Get there.

Will : The Tea Party is being radicalized and their original organizing principles obliterated. And no one should be laughing anymore. They should be scared shitless. My party's being hijacked and it's happening in real time. How is this not our top story every night?

MacKenzie : Thank you.

Will : Seriously, how did you get there?

Charlie : You're not gonna be very popular with Republicans.

Will : Hoffman and Rubin weren't Democrats. And these guys aren't Republicans. It needs to be a Republican saying it. Top story every night till the plant from Little Shop of Horrors goes back to its planet.

Charlie : I think you've got the boy coming around.

MacKenzie : You're the one who faxed him the Utah polling data, right?
