:02:00
it helps if your brother
:02:01
is the Governor of the state in question.
:02:03
You know something,
:02:04
we are gonna win Florida,
:02:05
mark my words.
:02:08
You can write it down.
:02:09
Second,
:02:10
make sure the chairman of your campaign
:02:11
is also the vote count woman.
:02:13
And that her state has hired a company
:02:16
that's gonna knock voters off the roles
:02:18
who aren't likely to vote for you.
:02:20
You can usually tell 'em
:02:22
by the color of their skin.
:02:24
Then make sure your side fights
:02:26
like it's life or death.
:02:27
I think all of this talk about
:02:29
legitimacy is way overblown.
:02:34
And hope that the other side
:02:35
will just sit by and wait for the phone to ring.
:02:39
And even if numerous independent investigations
:02:42
prove that Gore got the most votes...
:02:44
If there was a statewide recount,
:02:45
under every scenario,
:02:47
Gore won the election.
:02:48
It won't matter,
:02:49
just so long as all of your daddy's friends
:02:51
on the Sue-preme Court vote the right way.
:02:54
While I strongly disagree
with the Court's decision,

:02:58
I accept it.
:03:00
What we need now is acceptance.
:03:04
We have a new President-elect.
:03:06
Heh.
:03:08
It turns out none of this was a dream.
:03:11
It's what really happened.
:03:15
On the day the joint-session
of both the House

:03:17
of Representatives and the Senate
:03:19
was to certify the election results,
:03:22
Al Gore, in his dual role
as outgoing Vice President

:03:25
and President of the Senate,
:03:28
presided over the event that would
officially annoint

:03:30
George W. Bush as the new President.
:03:35
If any Congressman wanted to raise
an objection,

:03:37
the rules insisted that he or she
:03:40
had to have the signed support
of just one Senator.

:03:44
Mr. President,
:03:45
and I take great pride in calling you that,
:03:48
um, I must object because
of the overwhelming evidence

:03:51
of official misconduct, deliberate..
:03:55
The chairman must remind members
:03:57
that under Section 18,
:03:59
Title 3 of the United States Code,
