2:39:04
Russia and China we'll get you two together
for some face time, let you two catch up.
2:39:08
Also, one month from today, you wll give
your first official press conference.
2:39:12
In it, you wll outline the President's
strategy for wnning the war on drugs.
2:39:16
I just wanna be clear about one thing. I'm
not a partisan person. I'm an issue person.
2:39:20
Now, over the course of the next few weeks,
if you allow me, I'll bring you up to speed
2:39:25
on an incredible array of issues, the most
important of, in my opinion, is Mexico.
2:39:29
I know everyone that you're going to meet.
I know what they want, and why.
2:39:33
Now, it is important that they like you.
It is not important that they like me.
2:39:37
And that is why I can help protect you.
-Like you protected Landry?.
2:39:42
Well, I see where you're going wth that,
and if I could just say one thing.
2:39:46
Basically Landry's so autocratic he doesn't
even know howto let himself be helped.
2:39:51
There's a political component to this job

General, Bob Wakefield.
-Judge, nice to meet you.

-Thank you.
2:40:01
Jeff, you wanna excuse us for a minute?
-Yes, sir. I'll be right outside.
2:40:08
Have a seat.
-Thank you.
2:40:11
Well, you've done a fine job, General.
The Office of National Drug Control Policy
2:40:16
is in better shape than when you found it.
-I'm not sure
2:40:20
I made the slightest difference.
I tried. I really did.
2:40:24
I think there's some positive signs.
The work's just started. I plan on
2:40:28
seeing it through. You can count on that.
-You're here for 2 years, 2 maximum.
2:40:32
What'd they offer you?
Acourt appointment?
2:40:35
What? District? Appeals? Not Supreme.
2:40:40
Well, this is a, a tough enough job.
I plan on focusing on this.

he sat down,
2:40:49
and he wrote two letters and gave them
to his successor. He said,
