Transcript

00:01The House will be in order.

00:03The Pledge of Allegiance through the flag.

00:05Charlie, we have a problem.

00:07The Pledge.

00:08Someone took a video of you with your feet up on the whip's desk

00:11while everyone else is standing and saluting the flag,

00:14like the few and the proud.

00:15Yeah, well, as one of the few and the proud, let me tell you,

00:17I am not going to recite loyalty oath every morning

00:19just to prove that I love my country.

00:21Why do you refuse to say the Pledge?

00:23Is it true you dissed the Pledge of Allegiance?

00:26This isn't a joke. This isn't a game. This isn't about health care.

00:29You have one of the lowest morality ratings

00:31of any congressman in the nation.

00:34Maybe I should propose a law that all husbands and wives

00:36be required to recite their wedding vows every morning.

00:39We had something good and deep, Charlie.

00:41I just...

00:44I got tired of trying to make you feel it.

00:47Everybody loves you, Charlie.

00:49You could bill a million dollars a month

00:51once you get through the revolving door.

00:54I'm not sure I even care anymore.

00:56It's just not the same.

00:58There was a time when Congress was important,

01:00when it meant something to be there.

01:01Now it's all about delivering money.

01:04It just makes you feel kind of irrelevant.

01:07Some of us grew up believing that the island was enchanted

01:11and had magical healing properties.

01:15And now?

01:17I'm 43 and divorced.

01:20Safety's fit.

01:21Okay?

01:22Remind.

01:23Uh...

01:24Your committee needs to try harder, congressman.

01:25You people are irrelevant.

01:26Yeah.

01:27Does that happen here often?

01:28Every day, actually.

01:29I like...

01:30this place.

01:31Yeah.

01:32Me too.

01:33I'm going back to my district.

01:34Call Abigail, sir.

01:35I'm having a town meeting.

01:36To tear you apart there.

01:37Just do it.

01:38You know, when we're young, we think we're going all the way to the mountain top.

01:45And then somewhere along the journey, most men look up at the summit, and they realize

01:52that they're never going to get there.

01:54So, they stop to enjoy the view.

01:58You know, they stop to enjoy the view.

02:13The name of Christ in the Bay.

02:29To be continued...
