Special guest, California Governor Gray Davis spoke about the recall vote, the state's budget and the challenge from Arnold Schwarzenegger. The roundtable guests, Donna Brazile, Rep. David Dreier, and Janeane Garofalo, then took up the issue, focusing on whether Schwarzenegger brings an appropriate air of gravitas to the campaign. Bill then steered the discussion towards airport security, specifically, the airline industry's practice of using excess storage capacity for air cargo, which is not screened. The roundtable then discussed the adequacy of the Homeland Security Budget. Finally, discussion moved to Kobe Bryant and his quoting Dr. Martin Luther King, and if it was the best choice to describe his current plight. Bill then closed the show with the New Rules, where he focused on slogans and people's gullibility.
