company, like Mr. McGraw.
Get off me!
After Miss Kramer
was ejected from the hall,
the oil lease auction
proceeded without incident.
And now from one environmental
story to another.
A family
of three gray whales
have found themselves trapped in
the icy waters off Point Barrow.
Adam Carlson reports.
I'm standing out
on this frozen landscape
where we've recently discovered a
tragedy unfolding here in Barrow.
It's either continue fighting to
keep the hole open, or drown.
Both experts here give the
whales a slim chance of survival.
I'm Adam Carlson, reporting
from Barrow, Alaska.
Come on.
Okay, even I know that was way
better than Arnold's wheelies.
- Right?
- Yeah.
And, see, something like this
would be very good for my reel.
Adam, phone.
Bet you that's a groupie.
All right, let's not get carried
away. Do you think it could be?
Yeah.
This is Adam Carlson.
there and you didn't call me?
I didn't call you because
there's nothing you can do.
Well, there's always
something you can do.
You didn't call me
because I'm me.
Yes, that's also true.
Because when we broke up,
you said not to call you
or speak to you ever again.
But this is different.
There are whales in trouble.
Rachel, if I called you every time a
dung beetle or a fungus was in trouble,
we'd never
get off the phone.
Adam.
Okay, how long
can they last?
I don't know.
Pat says a couple of days.
The ice is getting thicker.
That's not
your only problem, though.
The Inupiats
want to harvest them.
But they don't eat grays,
they eat bowhead.
I know, but they haven't
So, on Sunday night the whaling
captains are meeting to get their permit.
Not if I can help it.
And a big thank you
to Governor Haskell.
Governor Haskell.
Miss Kramer,
nice to see you again.
How's everything
in nature?
Fine. Listen, I don't
mean to disrupt you...
I don't think you know any other way.
Governor, three gray whales are
trapped off the coast of Barrow
and we were wondering
if you could help us.
What kind of help?
Mobilize the National
Guard up to Barrow
with a ship that can
break through the ice.
Are you serious?
You want me to mobilize the
National Guard to save a few whales?
Excuse me.
Because whales
can't vote, right?
And they can't give
big campaign contributions,
of stupid whales, right?
Please.
In Alaska,
there are no simple rescues.
If I get
I'm putting
their lives at risk,
and when a whale dies,
Miss Kramer,
you don't have to tell
its wife and children.

All right, people,
