NSA reports easing
of hostile chatter inside VAJA,
3
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:26,156
so the Eli Volk incident
is in the rearview for now,
4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,550
though noise continues
over Reza Mousavi's detention
5
00:00:28,593 --> 00:00:30,552
and ongoing sanctions.
6
00:00:30,595 --> 00:00:35,122
Finally, ma'am, DIA reports that
a Chinese light frigate warship
7
00:00:35,165 --> 00:00:37,776
fired warning shots
at a Russian-flagged oil tanker
8
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:39,082
in the South China Sea,
9
00:00:39,126 --> 00:00:40,562
forcing it to reroute away
10
00:00:40,605 --> 00:00:42,955
from internationally
recognized shipping lanes.
11
00:00:42,999 --> 00:00:44,870
As established by the Singapore
Interchange you negotiated
12
00:00:44,914 --> 00:00:47,264
less than
four years ago, ma'am.
13
00:00:47,308 --> 00:00:49,745
RUSSELL:
But since Russia wasn't
part of the accord, they--
14
00:00:49,788 --> 00:00:53,096
Moscow has been working
with Vietnam to exploit
15
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:56,317
disputed oil
and natural gas rights.
16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,320
So Beijing seized
on a-a political gray area
17
00:00:59,363 --> 00:01:00,973
to give the Heisman
to Russia's efforts?
18
00:01:01,017 --> 00:01:02,453
Not exactly shocking.HILL:
True.
19
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:05,239
But recent surveillance photos
show an alarming buildup
20
00:01:05,282 --> 00:01:10,461
of Chinese military personnel
on one island in particular.
21
00:01:10,505 --> 00:01:11,897
Hainan Dao.
22
00:01:11,941 --> 00:01:13,551
Well, even naming it
breaks the spirit,
23
00:01:13,595 --> 00:01:15,292
if not the letter,
of the treaty.
24
00:01:15,336 --> 00:01:18,165
Thank you.So, basically,
25
00:01:18,208 --> 00:01:20,863
just another beautiful day
in the neighborhood.
26
00:01:20,906 --> 00:01:22,386
[laughter]
27
00:01:22,430 --> 00:01:25,346
Ellen, when was
our last naval flyby
28
00:01:25,389 --> 00:01:27,217
near Hainan Dao?Couple of weeks ago.
29
00:01:27,261 --> 00:01:31,221
We usually go for one a month,
keep them honest.
30
00:01:31,265 --> 00:01:33,832
Let's move the next one
up. Soon as possible.
31
00:01:33,876 --> 00:01:35,878
I don't want Beijing
getting comfortable
32
00:01:35,921 --> 00:01:38,141
bullying other countries
in international waters.

00:01:38,185 --> 00:01:40,448
HILL:
Yes, ma'am.
34
00:01:40,491 --> 00:01:42,102
Look, I...
35
00:01:43,712 --> 00:01:49,152
I know that the impeachment
hearing is on everybody's mind.
36
00:01:49,196 --> 00:01:52,068
I've been going
about business as usual
37
00:01:52,112 --> 00:01:54,984
because I do truly believe
38
00:01:55,027 --> 00:01:57,465
that it is best for
U.S. interests here
39
00:01:57,508 --> 00:01:59,119
and abroad.
40
00:01:59,162 --> 00:02:02,687
Anybody disagrees
or has any concerns,
41
00:02:02,731 --> 00:02:04,559
I'm all ears.
42
00:02:07,431 --> 00:02:09,216
Okay. Thank you, everyone.
43
00:02:09,259 --> 00:02:11,131
Thank you, ma'am.[others murmuring]

House Judiciary just
scheduled your appearance
46
00:02:20,227 --> 00:02:22,751
before the committee.
47
00:02:22,794 --> 00:02:24,187
Day after tomorrow.
48
00:02:24,231 --> 00:02:25,580
Good.
MIKE:
Not good.
49
00:02:25,623 --> 00:02:27,712
Bad. Apocalyptically bad.
50
00:02:27,756 --> 00:02:30,193
Hanson's out there whipping
the press into a lather
51
00:02:30,237 --> 00:02:31,716
over you wagging
the dog with Iran
52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,327
and collusion and nepotism
53
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:36,025
and, I don't know,
sorcery and cannibalism.
54
00:02:36,068 --> 00:02:38,245
Your numbers are eroding
by the hour and you're about
55
00:02:38,288 --> 00:02:40,986
to step into
the Star Chamber.I know, Mike.
56
00:02:41,030 --> 00:02:42,858
MIKE:
Then do something about it.
You're losing the public.
57
00:02:42,901 --> 00:02:45,208
Use the bully pulpit
58
00:02:45,252 --> 00:02:46,383
to bully the
crap out of them.
59
00:02:46,427 --> 00:02:48,255
Congress has the right
to investigate.
60
00:02:48,298 --> 00:02:50,431
Not to defame. Not to lie.
Not to attack...
61
00:02:50,474 --> 00:02:52,737
You show me where in the
Constitution it says they don't.
62
00:02:52,781 --> 00:02:54,870
I am not going to
attack Congress,
63
00:02:54,913 --> 00:02:58,439
no matter how much
I deplore Hanson
64
00:02:58,482 --> 00:03:00,267
and Canning's tactics.
65
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:02,747
How's the whip count?Not good.
66
00:03:02,791 --> 00:03:06,055
If the House voted today, they'd
have impeachment by two votes.
67
00:03:06,098 --> 00:03:09,276
MIKE:
And the Senate will convict,
making you the first president
68
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,539
to be removed from office.
69
00:03:11,582 --> 00:03:13,280
Hell, even Congressman Weenie
70
00:03:13,323 --> 00:03:15,325
is sitting
this one out.Yeah, what about Heeney?
71
00:03:15,369 --> 00:03:18,154
You know? We ever figure out
why he's being so timid?
72
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,722
MIKE:
He's quoted in the Chronicle
piece saying he's simply
73
00:03:20,765 --> 00:03:23,333
"acceding to the chairman
and his Article One duty."
74
00:03:23,377 --> 00:03:24,552
Which makes
me think
75
00:03:24,595 --> 00:03:28,338
Canning or Hanson
or one of their stooges
76
00:03:28,382 --> 00:03:30,210
has something
on the good congressman.
77
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:31,515
I could get into it.

tempeh tacos.

Well, they're not
really tacos. They're...

uh, just these
shell-like things and...

go after you.

Politics ain't beanbag.

Yeah, but it ain't supposed to
be The Hunger Games,either.

aren't I?
100
00:04:29,965 --> 00:04:31,358
Yeah, it would seem so.
101
00:04:31,401 --> 00:04:33,360
You know, I once read
that you can effect more change
102
00:04:33,403 --> 00:04:36,276
in a day as president
than you can
103
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:37,929
for the rest of your life
after you leave office.
104
00:04:37,973 --> 00:04:40,280
I believe that.
105
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,064
So, let's make a bucket list.
106
00:04:42,107 --> 00:04:46,242
E-Everything
that we want to do...
107
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:49,201
before we leave here.
108
00:04:49,245 --> 00:04:52,074
Okay-- oh, oh.
I've always wanted to...
109
00:04:52,117 --> 00:04:53,858
[quietly]:
sleep in the Lincoln Bedroom.
110
00:04:53,902 --> 00:04:56,078
Does that count?Okay, yeah.
111
00:04:56,121 --> 00:04:58,428
[laughs]:
Yeah.
Not that it's gonna
effect any change...
112
00:04:58,472 --> 00:05:00,082
It will for us.
113
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:02,302
Tonight.Mm-hmm.
114

at the White House switchboard.
116
00:05:08,177 --> 00:05:10,092
There's a switchboard?
117
00:05:10,135 --> 00:05:11,398
I don't know.
118
00:05:11,441 --> 00:05:14,792
Where the calls come in.
I want to take calls.
119
00:05:14,836 --> 00:05:17,099
Gun control? Can--
I mean, is that too big?

No.

Are you kidding? It's our list.
122

We can do whatever we want.

Blake told me
you guys were in here.

I hope I'm not
interrupting anything.

Yeah?Uh, yeah.

I'm pretty great, actually.
131
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,511
Sorry. With everything going on,
I know that's not really...
132
00:05:37,554 --> 00:05:38,947
Oh, come on.
133
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:42,951
Listen, we could use
a little "pretty great."
134
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:44,169
What do you got?
135
00:05:44,213 --> 00:05:47,999
Okay, um, so it was
kind of a bumpy start.
136
00:05:48,043 --> 00:05:51,829
But things with Dmitri
are, like, really wonderful.
137
00:05:51,873 --> 00:05:54,354
[laughs softly] I'm not sure
if I've ever been happier.
138
00:05:54,397 --> 00:05:56,312
You deserve it.Well, that's a nice piece...
139
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:58,358
Thanks....of pretty great right there.
140
00:05:58,401 --> 00:06:00,316
Yeah, we're, like,
making plans--
141
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,883
playfully--
but, you know,
142
00:06:01,926 --> 00:06:04,276
what are we gonna be doing
in a few years, like, ten years,
143
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,235
and where we want to live
144
00:06:06,278 --> 00:06:07,845
and how many kids
and...
145
00:06:07,889 --> 00:06:09,281
Where and how many?
146
00:06:10,326 --> 00:06:11,196
Keep going.
Okay.
147
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,808
But it's just that...
148
00:06:13,851 --> 00:06:15,940
we-we know that we want
to be together.
149
00:06:15,984 --> 00:06:17,942
It's just,
I'm-I'm worried.
150
00:06:17,986 --> 00:06:20,118
I think he might
be afraid to take it
151
00:06:20,162 --> 00:06:22,643
to the next level,
like, to propose.
152
00:06:22,686 --> 00:06:25,297
Oh.Just, everything that happened,
like, in my testimony.
153
00:06:25,341 --> 00:06:26,995
I just feel like there's
a moment for these things,
154
00:06:27,038 --> 00:06:28,083
and I-I really, I don't want us
155
00:06:28,126 --> 00:06:30,477
to miss our
moment. So,
156
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,306
I am gonna propose to him.
157
00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:36,439
[gasps] Oh![laughs]
Oh, my God!
158
00:06:36,483 --> 00:06:37,875
Is that crazy?Oh...
159
00:06:37,919 --> 00:06:39,877
No, it's not crazy.Stevie. Oh, mwah.
160
00:06:39,921 --> 00:06:41,096
Look at where we are!
161
00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:42,924
Yeah, girl power central here.Oh...
162
00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,795
But if it's gonna mess up your
lives-- This is what I wanted
163
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,144
to talk to you about.
I don't want to...
164
00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:48,582
Stevie, listen, don't
ever postpone your life
165
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:51,498
over political noise
or anything else.Yeah. Hear, hear.
166
00:06:51,541 --> 00:06:53,978
Got it.Now-now, c-come on.
Tell us the details.
167
00:06:54,022 --> 00:06:55,458
Oh... Come on. Just...How you gonna do it?
168
00:06:55,502 --> 00:06:57,025
No, no. She's right.
W-We won't... ask.You know.
169

restaurant, Hong Kong Garden?

00:07:07,949 --> 00:07:09,907
Oh, the one in Dupont Circle,
or the other one?
176
00:07:09,951 --> 00:07:12,562
Okay.
Dupont, yeah. Um,
so they have, like, these, uh,
177
00:07:12,606 --> 00:07:14,434
personalized, um,
fortune cookies.
178
00:07:14,477 --> 00:07:18,133
So I'm going to have them
plant the proposal
179
00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:19,700
in the fortune cookie.[laughter]
180
00:07:19,743 --> 00:07:21,571
That's genius.That's great.
181
00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:24,922
Just proofread it before
they stick it in the cookie.
182
00:07:24,966 --> 00:07:27,751
Yeah, good call there, Elibet.
183
00:07:27,795 --> 00:07:30,145
That's a reference to
a skywriting proposal.
184
00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:32,277
See, this is why
they have assistants.
185
00:07:32,321 --> 00:07:34,976
Hey, why don't you, um,
bring Dmitri over here after
186
00:07:35,019 --> 00:07:37,326
and we can have
a champagne toast?
187
00:07:37,369 --> 00:07:38,936
Yeah. I will.
188
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:40,155
Thanks.
189
00:07:40,198 --> 00:07:41,025
Aw.I'm so excited.
190
00:07:41,069 --> 00:07:42,810
[laughter]
191
00:07:42,853 --> 00:07:44,420
Oh, we're excited for you.
192
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,074
And grandkids.Just...
193
00:07:46,117 --> 00:07:47,902
HENRY:
Just give her...She brought it up.
194
00:07:47,945 --> 00:07:49,730
Slow down, Mom.
195
00:07:49,773 --> 00:07:51,558
Well, you're the one
who brought it up.She's not even married yet.
196
00:07:51,601 --> 00:07:53,516
STEVIE:
Good night.
197
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,301
Speaking of up.
That's where I'm going.
198
00:07:56,345 --> 00:07:58,303
Come on. Go home, Blake.
199
00:07:58,347 --> 00:08:01,089
Okay. Uh, congratulation-- um...
200
00:08:01,132 --> 00:08:04,092
Almost congratulations,
Dr. McCord, Madam President.
201
00:08:04,135 --> 00:08:06,181
[mouths]
202
00:08:06,224 --> 00:08:08,009
[whispers]:
Stevie's wedding.
203
00:08:08,052 --> 00:08:10,751
[whispers]:
Lincoln Bedroom.
204
00:08:10,794 --> 00:08:11,882
Let's go.
Rawr.
205
00:08:11,926 --> 00:08:13,101
[both laugh]
206
00:08:13,144 --> 00:08:14,276
RUSSELL:
Let's push
207
00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:16,060
the DPC meeting.
208
00:08:16,104 --> 00:08:19,063
No point improving the
aqueducts while Rome burns.
209
00:08:19,107 --> 00:08:21,065
Ha! Good morning.
210
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,372
Hey.Rome burning again?
211
00:08:23,415 --> 00:08:25,548
I'm sorry, am... I late?
212
00:08:25,592 --> 00:08:27,898
Nope. No, I'm just...
213
00:08:27,942 --> 00:08:29,073
Carpe diem, you know?
214
00:08:29,117 --> 00:08:30,727
Which, as Henry
pointed out,
215
00:08:30,771 --> 00:08:33,164
is part of a longer phrase.
216
00:08:33,208 --> 00:08:35,819
Carpe diem, quam minimum
217
00:08:35,863 --> 00:08:37,038
credula postero.
218
00:08:37,081 --> 00:08:38,648
It means,
219
00:08:38,692 --> 00:08:40,215
"Seize the day,
220
00:08:40,258 --> 00:08:42,043
put very little trust
in tomorrow," which...
221
00:08:42,086 --> 00:08:43,435
You can see how
that might speak to me.
222
00:08:43,479 --> 00:08:46,221
I think it's beautiful.Right?
223
00:08:46,264 --> 00:08:49,398
So I made a to-do list
for today.
224
00:08:49,441 --> 00:08:51,400
[mutters]
Oh.
225
00:08:51,443 --> 00:08:53,620
South China Sea.What about it?
226
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:54,838
Fix it.
227
00:08:54,882 --> 00:08:57,319
After the dustup
between China and Russia,
228
00:08:57,362 --> 00:08:59,974
why not revisit
the Singapore Interchange?
229
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:01,932
We can address
all outstanding issues
230
00:09:01,976 --> 00:09:05,196
and finally bring peace
and stability to the region.
231
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,329
RUSSELL:
Is that all?
Ha! No.
232
00:09:07,372 --> 00:09:08,852
That is very...
Do you really want
233
00:09:08,896 --> 00:09:10,985
to take on one of the most
intractable problems
234
00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:15,076
in the world while your head
is on the chopping block?
235
00:09:15,119 --> 00:09:17,687
Yep. Have Susan get into it
with Chen and Avdonin.
236
00:09:17,731 --> 00:09:20,690
And then I want to get serious
about carbon reduction.
237
00:09:20,734 --> 00:09:24,912
Uh-huh.And expanding health care rolls.
238
00:09:24,955 --> 00:09:27,523
Okay.And-- ah, ugh-- gun control.
239
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,265
Mm-hmm.Why not just do world peace
while you're at it?
240
00:09:30,308 --> 00:09:32,963
That's the spirit.
What the hell? Write that down.
241
00:09:33,007 --> 00:09:34,225
World peace. Got it.
242
00:09:34,269 --> 00:09:35,531
[chuckles]
You do...
243
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:38,534
you do realize you need Congress
at your back,
244
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:40,971
not actively trying to bury you,
245
00:09:41,015 --> 00:09:42,538
in order to get anything done.
246
00:09:42,582 --> 00:09:44,235
Russell, if I hunker down,
247
00:09:44,279 --> 00:09:46,411
[whispers]:
aren't I just burying myself?
248
00:09:46,455 --> 00:09:48,239
All due respect,
y-you did pass
249
00:09:48,283 --> 00:09:49,893
ESI and-and...
Yes!
250
00:09:49,937 --> 00:09:52,722
...the VA Mental Health
Modernization Act...
Yes.
251
00:09:52,766 --> 00:09:55,290
...the free trade agreement
with South Korea.
252
00:09:55,333 --> 00:09:58,119
It's true. So, I
want to push forward
253
00:09:58,162 --> 00:10:00,077
while they try to stop me.
254
00:10:00,121 --> 00:10:01,296
Good morning, Madam President.
255
00:10:01,339 --> 00:10:03,037
Carpe diem, Blake.
256
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,648
Quam minimum credula postero.
257
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:07,302
Yes, ma'am.
258
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:13,961
♪
259
00:10:24,406 --> 00:10:27,931
Dr. McCord, Dmitri Petrov is
a little early for your 3:00.
260
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:29,933
Oh, uh, thanks. Great.
Send him in.
261
00:10:29,977 --> 00:10:32,196
Right this way,
Mr. Petrov.
262
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,242
Hey, there he is.
Wow, looking sharp.
263
00:10:34,285 --> 00:10:36,244
Hey. Thanks for making the time.
264
00:10:36,287 --> 00:10:37,332
Oh, of course. Any time.
265
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:38,942
I've got a lot of ideas for you.
266
00:10:38,986 --> 00:10:41,031
Well, I hope you didn't
spend too much time
267
00:10:41,075 --> 00:10:42,206
thinking about
my future prospects
268
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,643
because that was a ruse.
269
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:45,383
Really?
270
00:10:45,427 --> 00:10:47,385
Forgive me, I'm
a little nervous.
271
00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:49,213
You know Stevie and I
have been back together
272
00:10:49,257 --> 00:10:50,301
for a while now.
I do.
273
00:10:50,345 --> 00:10:51,389
I think it's great.
274
00:10:51,433 --> 00:10:52,477
I'm very relieved
to hear that.
275
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:55,393
Because, with your permission...
276
00:10:55,437 --> 00:10:57,395
I want to ask Stephanie
to marry me.
277
00:10:57,439 --> 00:10:58,527
Oh, my God!
278
00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:01,486
Wow, wow...
279
00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:03,358
Yes, yeah, uh, yes.
280
00:11:03,401 --> 00:11:06,100
But you don't
have to ask me.
281
00:11:06,143 --> 00:11:07,971
Oh, I should ask
the president, too?
282
00:11:08,015 --> 00:11:10,321
No, no, I just mean...
well, neither of us.
283
00:11:10,365 --> 00:11:12,497
Stevie's an adult, uh,
284
00:11:12,541 --> 00:11:14,195
but I appreciate
the sentiment,
285
00:11:14,238 --> 00:11:15,239
given our past.
286
00:11:15,283 --> 00:11:16,458
Yeah, thanks.
287
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:18,112
I wasn't sure with
the whole investigation
288
00:11:18,155 --> 00:11:21,419
if maybe you'd want me to wait
or just disappear altogether.
289
00:11:21,463 --> 00:11:23,857
Nonsense, life goes on
despite politics.
290
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:27,251
Although I can't make
any guarantees about Stevie.
291
00:11:27,295 --> 00:11:28,339
Oh, of course not.
292
00:11:28,383 --> 00:11:29,645
That's on me.
293
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,386
So, if you don't
mind me asking,
294
00:11:31,429 --> 00:11:32,866
when were you gonna
pop the question?
295
00:11:32,909 --> 00:11:34,432
Tomorrow night.
296
00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:35,869
Yeah, we're going out for
Chinese food, and then...
297
00:11:35,912 --> 00:11:37,261
Uh-huh....after that, I booked
298
00:11:37,305 --> 00:11:39,350
a private cruise
on the Potomac.
299
00:11:39,394 --> 00:11:41,396
So, after dinner?
Yeah.
300
00:11:41,439 --> 00:11:42,614
Yeah, she has no idea.
301
00:11:42,658 --> 00:11:45,095
You're secret's safe with me.
[chuckles]
302
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:47,054
ELIZABETH:
But I don't understand
303
00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:49,621
why I have to take
time out of my schedule
304
00:11:49,665 --> 00:11:51,493
to practice telling the truth.
305
00:11:51,536 --> 00:11:53,495
Because I'm gonna be the counsel
of record at your side.
306
00:11:53,538 --> 00:11:55,453
You only get one chance not
to screw up your testimony
307
00:11:55,497 --> 00:11:56,541
and making me look bad.
308
00:11:56,585 --> 00:11:57,586
Okay, okay.
309
00:11:57,629 --> 00:11:58,761
Where are we on the list?
310
00:11:58,805 --> 00:12:00,110
The EPA is putting together
a package
311
00:12:00,154 --> 00:12:01,242
of new carbon-reducing measures
312
00:12:01,285 --> 00:12:02,722
to present to Congress.
313
00:12:02,765 --> 00:12:04,245
Good, sounds like
a good start.
314
00:12:04,288 --> 00:12:05,550
Yeah, what's next?
315
00:12:05,594 --> 00:12:07,857
I will have drafts by end
of the day of a bill
316
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:10,512
to ban assault weapons
and an executive order
317
00:12:10,555 --> 00:12:12,557
directing NIH to
research gun violence
318
00:12:12,601 --> 00:12:14,298
as a public
health crisis.
319
00:12:14,342 --> 00:12:15,647
Excellent.
Oh, crap!
320
00:12:15,691 --> 00:12:17,084
What?My cavity-search
321
00:12:17,127 --> 00:12:19,608
of Congressman Heeney's
entire life turned up bupkis.
322
00:12:19,651 --> 00:12:21,784
I mean, detention in
the third grade for fighting,
323
00:12:21,828 --> 00:12:23,307
but he was defending
some poor dweeb
324
00:12:23,351 --> 00:12:25,440
who was jumped by a gang
of fifth-graders.
325
00:12:25,483 --> 00:12:27,181
Damn yinzer's a saint
like his father before him.
326
00:12:27,224 --> 00:12:29,052
Wait, Heeney is from Pittsburg?Yeah.
327
00:12:29,096 --> 00:12:30,793
He and his dad have been
clinging to that seat
328
00:12:30,837 --> 00:12:32,621
so long, Pittsburgh's gonna
name a barnacle after them.
329
00:12:32,664 --> 00:12:33,796
Huh.
What?
330
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,406
Is that good?
331
00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:37,104
Could be.
332
00:12:37,147 --> 00:12:38,192
Hey, handsome.
333
00:12:38,235 --> 00:12:41,499
You going for
a world record?
334
00:12:41,543 --> 00:12:43,414
I have 11 seconds left.
335
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:45,025
Hey, listen,
I got your text...
[groaning]
336
00:12:45,068 --> 00:12:48,463
and I am dying to hear
all about the Dmitri thing,
337
00:12:48,506 --> 00:12:50,334
but did you know...[alarm beeping]
338
00:12:50,378 --> 00:12:53,381
that Congressman Heeney
is from Pittsburgh?
339
00:12:53,424 --> 00:12:56,645
Yes, I-I-I knew his
old man a little bit
340
00:12:56,688 --> 00:12:57,689
when I was a kid.
341
00:12:57,733 --> 00:12:59,169
How did I not know that?
342
00:12:59,213 --> 00:13:00,388
I didn't know
him that well.
343
00:13:00,431 --> 00:13:01,824
I certainly
didn't know Junior.
344
00:13:01,868 --> 00:13:03,913
Back in the day, my dad
organized his chapter
345
00:13:03,957 --> 00:13:06,133
to phone bank and
door-knock for Heeney Sr.
346
00:13:06,176 --> 00:13:07,830
Well, how do you feel
about exploiting
347
00:13:07,874 --> 00:13:09,353
that paternal connection
348
00:13:09,397 --> 00:13:13,531
to suss out Heeney Jr.'s
acquiescence to Canning?
349
00:13:13,575 --> 00:13:14,837
Thought you didn't
want to play politics.
350
00:13:14,881 --> 00:13:17,361
Well, I don't.
351
00:13:17,405 --> 00:13:19,711
But I also don't want to go
whistling to the guillotine.
352
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:21,757
That's Mike's metaphor.
353
00:13:21,801 --> 00:13:24,151
Uh, listen, I'd be happy to
reach out to the congressman.
354
00:13:24,194 --> 00:13:25,674
We can reminisce about--
I don't know--
355
00:13:25,717 --> 00:13:28,329
our dads and when he
used to support you.
356
00:13:28,372 --> 00:13:29,678
Thank you.
357
00:13:29,721 --> 00:13:32,550
So, what about
Dmitri's French farce?!
358
00:13:32,594 --> 00:13:34,857
So I completely forgot
359
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:36,250
we had this meeting
on the books.
360
00:13:36,293 --> 00:13:38,513
Is he really propose
tomorrow night, really?!
361
00:13:38,556 --> 00:13:39,731
After the dinner
362
00:13:39,775 --> 00:13:41,516
when Stevie is
proposing to him.
363
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,561
He even mentioned going
out for Chinese food.
364
00:13:43,605 --> 00:13:45,259
Should we warn her?
I mean, just in case
365
00:13:45,302 --> 00:13:48,523
she wants to give him
a chance to propose first?
366
00:13:48,566 --> 00:13:51,482
And betray the confidence
of our future son-in-law
367
00:13:51,526 --> 00:13:52,353
before they're even engaged?
368
00:13:52,396 --> 00:13:54,964
Oh, very good point.
369
00:13:55,008 --> 00:13:57,140
Truman Balcony tonight.
370
00:13:57,184 --> 00:13:59,186
[inhales sharply]
371
00:14:04,756 --> 00:14:05,845
Congressman Heeney
is here, sir.
372
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:06,889
Oh, great.
Thanks.
373
00:14:06,933 --> 00:14:08,804
Good morning,
Dr. McCord.
Hi.
374
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:10,806
It's not every day I get
invited to the White House.
375
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:11,894
Ah, well, welcome.
376
00:14:11,938 --> 00:14:14,592
I still can't believe
that I live here.
377
00:14:14,636 --> 00:14:15,419
Yeah.Please, have a seat.
378
00:14:15,463 --> 00:14:17,726
Thank you.
379
00:14:17,769 --> 00:14:19,815
Uh, your dad was a union
organizer, I believe.
380
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,469
I think you knew
my old man?
Yeah.
381
00:14:21,512 --> 00:14:25,386
In fact... I remember
your dad being at my house
382
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:28,258
on more than a few rye-soaked
evenings and them getting
383
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:31,566
into it over negotiations
with USW and steelmakers.
384
00:14:31,609 --> 00:14:33,785
Even when they agreed,
it sounded like fighting.
385
00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:35,483
[deep voice]:
Mm. "If you work hard,
386
00:14:35,526 --> 00:14:37,006
"you should be able
to earn a decent wage.
387
00:14:37,050 --> 00:14:38,616
Make a good life
for your family."
388
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:40,792
Our old men were
in the fight every day.
389
00:14:40,836 --> 00:14:42,403
And here we are.
390
00:14:42,446 --> 00:14:44,579
Yeah.
Different time.
391
00:14:44,622 --> 00:14:45,972
But still in it.
392
00:14:46,015 --> 00:14:48,757
So, I understand your
camp was, uh, disappointed
393
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,498
I didn't run
interference for you
394
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:52,108
and your daughter
at the hearings.
395
00:14:52,152 --> 00:14:53,588
Well, we weren't looking for
interference-- we were just
396
00:14:53,631 --> 00:14:55,111
hoping you would speak up
when Chairman Canning
397
00:14:55,155 --> 00:14:57,548
made unsubstantiated charges.
398
00:14:57,592 --> 00:14:59,246
Well, the committee has to
investigate before we can
399
00:14:59,289 --> 00:15:01,422
determine what was
unsubstantiated and what wasn't.
400
00:15:01,465 --> 00:15:02,684
I appreciate that.
401
00:15:02,727 --> 00:15:04,816
But Canning is making
baseless accusations
402
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:07,689
through innuendo
and conjecture.
403
00:15:07,732 --> 00:15:09,952
And trying to manipulate
public opinion
404
00:15:09,996 --> 00:15:13,303
to exact a political price
before the investigations
405
00:15:13,347 --> 00:15:16,089
turned anything up.
I-I was just surprised that
406
00:15:16,132 --> 00:15:18,743
someone with your background
would let that happen.
407
00:15:18,787 --> 00:15:20,223
I'm sorry you feel that way.
408
00:15:20,267 --> 00:15:22,486
But one yinzer to another,
409
00:15:22,530 --> 00:15:24,967
my dad also taught me
that political survival
410
00:15:25,011 --> 00:15:26,621
is about relevance.
411
00:15:26,664 --> 00:15:28,797
Sometimes it doesn't
make any sense
412
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,669
to throw yourself in front
of a train you can't stop.
413
00:15:31,713 --> 00:15:34,498
So, letting Canning
steamroll the administration
414
00:15:34,542 --> 00:15:37,675
and the truth is about
political expediency
415
00:15:37,719 --> 00:15:38,763
and self-preservation?
416
00:15:38,807 --> 00:15:40,722
I didn't come here
for a lecture.
417
00:15:40,765 --> 00:15:43,551
Administrations
come and they go.
418
00:15:43,594 --> 00:15:45,596
My dad and I have been
protecting workers' rights
419
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,337
in Pittsburgh
for 60 years.
420
00:15:47,381 --> 00:15:49,383
And I intend to
continue doing so
421
00:15:49,426 --> 00:15:51,646
when the next
administration takes over.
422
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:53,430
And the one after that.
423
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:56,129
"He who ignores public injustice
424
00:15:56,172 --> 00:15:58,131
welcomes it into his house."
425
00:15:58,174 --> 00:15:59,480
You can quote scripture
all you want.
426
00:15:59,523 --> 00:16:01,134
I have to be practical.
427
00:16:01,177 --> 00:16:03,832
That's not scripture,
Congressman.
428
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:05,616
It's your father.
429
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,022
[reporters clamoring]
430
00:16:26,420 --> 00:16:28,335
ELIZABETH:
Democracy works only
431
00:16:28,378 --> 00:16:30,293
when government
is held accountable.
432
00:16:30,337 --> 00:16:31,903
To that end, for the past
433
00:16:31,947 --> 00:16:34,558
two months my administration
434
00:16:34,602 --> 00:16:38,301
has promptly responded
to numerous document requests
435
00:16:38,345 --> 00:16:40,129
and interrogatories.
436
00:16:40,173 --> 00:16:43,828
I have made my staff
unconditionally available
437
00:16:43,872 --> 00:16:47,571
for interviews with the Senate
Intelligence Committee.
438
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:50,313
My executive assistant
did not oppose
439
00:16:50,357 --> 00:16:53,621
an FBI warrant
served on his premises.
440
00:16:53,664 --> 00:16:55,971
And both my own husband
and my daughter
441
00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:57,712
have appeared
for extensive questioning
442
00:16:57,755 --> 00:16:59,235
before this committee.
443
00:16:59,279 --> 00:17:01,194
And I now sit here,
444
00:17:01,237 --> 00:17:03,152
against the advice of counsel,
445
00:17:03,196 --> 00:17:04,545
to answer questions
446
00:17:04,588 --> 00:17:06,851
in a proceeding whose sole aim
447
00:17:06,895 --> 00:17:08,897
is to oust me from office.
448
00:17:08,940 --> 00:17:11,465
Instead of invoking
executive privilege,
449
00:17:11,508 --> 00:17:15,251
I have chosen to cooperate
without limitation.
450
00:17:15,295 --> 00:17:17,297
And my hope is
451
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:18,994
that such cooperation
will finally
452
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,865
yield an end to this inquiry,
453
00:17:20,909 --> 00:17:24,086
so we can get back
to the business of governance--
454
00:17:24,130 --> 00:17:27,611
the reason the American people
put us here.
455
00:17:27,655 --> 00:17:29,178
Thank you.
456
00:17:29,222 --> 00:17:32,442
Then, uh, in service
of your desire
457
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:35,228
for a swift resolution,
Madam President,
458
00:17:35,271 --> 00:17:36,751
let us begin.
Madam President,
459
00:17:36,794 --> 00:17:38,144
would you agree
that your
460
00:17:38,187 --> 00:17:40,885
senior staff
ultimately answer to you?
461
00:17:40,929 --> 00:17:42,887
Yes.
And you must
also agree
462
00:17:42,931 --> 00:17:44,933
that you should be held
accountable for their conduct.
463
00:17:44,976 --> 00:17:47,414
For actions taken at
my direction, yes, of course.
464
00:17:47,457 --> 00:17:49,981
Let's start with your former
press secretary, Daisy Grant.
465
00:17:50,025 --> 00:17:52,288
Fired because
she failed
466
00:17:52,332 --> 00:17:54,203
to disclose she was
in possession of evidence
467
00:17:54,247 --> 00:17:55,857
that Iran tampered
with the election.
468
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:58,338
To be accurate,
Ms. Grant resigned.
469
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:00,557
But you would have fired
her if she hadn't, correct?
470
00:18:00,601 --> 00:18:02,168
Yes, yes.
471
00:18:02,211 --> 00:18:04,170
Because you were looking
for a scapegoat for a decision
472
00:18:04,213 --> 00:18:05,649
that you knew
that you were responsible for.
473
00:18:05,693 --> 00:18:08,435
No, Mr. Chairman.
474
00:18:08,478 --> 00:18:12,003
Because Ms. Grant acted outside
the scope of her employment,
475
00:18:12,047 --> 00:18:14,267
without consulting me
476
00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:17,357
and in violation
of her duties.
477
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,967
Well, I think the evidence
to date has shown
478
00:18:19,010 --> 00:18:21,361
that your staff
was fiercely devoted to you.
479
00:18:21,404 --> 00:18:22,927
And they took no action
that they thought
480
00:18:22,971 --> 00:18:24,407
you would've disapproved of.
481
00:18:24,451 --> 00:18:26,540
Is there a question here,
Mr. Chairman?
482
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:27,671
Yes, there is,
Counselor.
483
00:18:27,715 --> 00:18:29,586
Madam President,
are you telling
484
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:31,110
this committee
485
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:33,634
that Ms. Grant
was a rogue actor?
486
00:18:33,677 --> 00:18:35,070
Yes.
Who wasn't
even acting
487
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,593
at your implied direction?
488
00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:39,683
Asked and answered.
Let's move on, Mr. Chairman.
489
00:18:39,727 --> 00:18:41,468
Then I'll cut
to the chase.
490
00:18:41,511 --> 00:18:44,035
For the record, did you act
in concert with any member
491
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:45,602
of the Iranian government
to undermine your opponent
492
00:18:45,646 --> 00:18:47,561
in the presidential election?
493
00:18:47,604 --> 00:18:48,649
No, I did not.
494
00:18:48,692 --> 00:18:50,085
Did you have any
knowledge that Iran
495
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:51,695
was interfering on your behalf
496
00:18:51,739 --> 00:18:53,175
during the presidential
campaign?
497
00:18:53,219 --> 00:18:55,308
No, I did not.
498
00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:56,831
You are aware that
your answers today
499
00:18:56,874 --> 00:18:58,006
are under penalty of perjury?
500
00:18:58,049 --> 00:19:00,487
Yes, Mr. Chairman,
I am.
501
00:19:00,530 --> 00:19:03,881
And your implication
notwithstanding, I...
502
00:19:03,925 --> 00:19:05,666
I believe I have demonstrated
503
00:19:05,709 --> 00:19:09,191
how seriously I take
these proceedings.
504
00:19:09,235 --> 00:19:10,714
Why don't we test that
proposition by turning
505
00:19:10,758 --> 00:19:13,500
to your many contacts with
Iranian Foreign Minister Tousi
506
00:19:13,543 --> 00:19:15,197
during the election year.
507
00:19:15,241 --> 00:19:16,546
You were
exceptionally close
508
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:18,548
to the foreign minister,
weren't you?
509
00:19:18,592 --> 00:19:20,159
We have a situation.
510
00:19:20,202 --> 00:19:22,987
One of our destroyers was fired
on by a Chinese patrol boat
511
00:19:23,031 --> 00:19:25,033
in the South China Sea.
512
00:19:26,556 --> 00:19:27,688
Casualties?
513
00:19:27,731 --> 00:19:29,777
24 American sailors killed.
514
00:19:29,820 --> 00:19:31,561
We engaged the Chinese vessel.
515
00:19:31,605 --> 00:19:33,215
Sank it.
516
00:19:33,259 --> 00:19:35,174
We're expecting
hundreds of casualties.
517
00:19:39,395 --> 00:19:41,136
Mr. Chairman,
I'm very sorry.
Mr. Chairman,
518
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,703
due to pressing matters
of state, the president
519
00:19:42,746 --> 00:19:43,921
must adjourn
her testimony at this time.
520
00:19:43,965 --> 00:19:45,227
[gavel banging]
521
00:19:45,271 --> 00:19:46,924
We object to this
choreographed interruption!
522
00:19:46,968 --> 00:19:48,012
Madam President?
523
00:19:49,405 --> 00:19:52,626
Madam President, this is
an insult to this committee!
524
00:19:52,669 --> 00:19:54,018
What the hell is going on?
525
00:19:54,062 --> 00:19:56,804
The Arleigh Burke class
destroyer Edwin James
526
00:19:56,847 --> 00:20:00,373
was three miles outside
the coast of Hainan Dao
527
00:20:00,416 --> 00:20:01,548
when it came under attack
528
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:05,029
from two Chinese
Type 22 missile boats.
529
00:20:05,073 --> 00:20:06,596
Unprovoked?
530
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,815
Yes, ma'am.
531
00:20:07,858 --> 00:20:11,079
I recommend going
to worldwide DEFCON 4
532
00:20:11,122 --> 00:20:14,561
and DEFCON 3 in INDOPACOM AOR.
533
00:20:14,604 --> 00:20:16,563
Do it.
534
00:20:16,606 --> 00:20:18,782
What the hell is
President Li thinking?
535
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:20,131
General Hayes,
where are we?
536
00:20:20,175 --> 00:20:22,177
Madam President,
we're sending
537
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,484
Carrier Strike Team 5
to assist the James
538
00:20:24,527 --> 00:20:27,443
and deter any further
incursions by hostiles.
539
00:20:27,487 --> 00:20:29,445
[quietly]:
All right.
540
00:20:29,489 --> 00:20:30,968
Admiral Fanning,
I want to speak to the captain.
541
00:20:31,012 --> 00:20:34,450
Captain Woodcliff
was KIA, ma'am.
542
00:20:34,494 --> 00:20:36,365
Executive Officer Harris
in command.
543
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:37,845
Let's get him on screen.
544
00:20:37,888 --> 00:20:40,021
Harris here.
545
00:20:40,064 --> 00:20:42,763
Commander Harris,
this is the president.
546
00:20:42,806 --> 00:20:45,592
I need you to describe
for me what happened.
547
00:20:45,635 --> 00:20:47,289
It was a routine flyby, ma'am.
548
00:20:47,333 --> 00:20:49,944
We were in egress
when they lit us up.
549
00:20:49,987 --> 00:20:51,250
Was there any kind
of warning?
550
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,382
None. Phalanx CIWS
551
00:20:53,426 --> 00:20:55,993
shot down most
of their missiles, but one
552
00:20:56,037 --> 00:20:57,647
made a direct hit
on the bridge.
553
00:20:57,691 --> 00:20:58,648
Damage control reports...
[garbled transmission]
554
00:20:58,692 --> 00:21:00,128
FANNING:
Commander Harris?
555
00:21:00,171 --> 00:21:01,738
[garbled transmission]
HARRIS: ...our best to triage.
556
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:02,913
FANNING: Commander Harris,
can you proceed
557
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:04,045
to the fallback point?
558
00:21:04,088 --> 00:21:06,395
HARRIS:
Negative.
559
00:21:06,439 --> 00:21:09,485
Chief engineer reports
total engine failure.
560
00:21:09,529 --> 00:21:10,660
We're sitting ducks.
561
00:21:10,704 --> 00:21:12,662
You sit tight, Commander.
562
00:21:12,706 --> 00:21:13,837
Help is on the way.
563
00:21:13,881 --> 00:21:15,186
HARRIS:
Thank you, ma'am.
564
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:16,927
HAYES:
This is a list
of military targets
565
00:21:16,971 --> 00:21:19,321
on Hainan Dao.
566
00:21:19,365 --> 00:21:20,757
Codeword: Dragonfly.
567
00:21:20,801 --> 00:21:22,759
FANNING:
Madam President,
we have an Ohio-class sub
568
00:21:22,803 --> 00:21:25,936
armed with conventional
warheads standing by.
569
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,721
You want to retaliate.
570
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:29,940
HILL:
If we don't, we'll be sending
a message of weakness,
571
00:21:29,984 --> 00:21:32,987
giving the Chinese
carte blanche to escalate.
572
00:21:33,030 --> 00:21:36,817
Uh, and we've already killed
hundreds of their sailors.
573
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:39,646
That was self-defense.Yes, but to the Chinese,
574
00:21:39,689 --> 00:21:44,172
any further aggression
will be seen as gratuitous.
575
00:21:44,215 --> 00:21:47,741
They'll attack
the Fifth Fleet next.
576
00:21:47,784 --> 00:21:49,177
Our war games make
577
00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:50,831
no such assumption, ma'am.RUSSELL:
How many deals
578
00:21:50,874 --> 00:21:53,181
have you negotiated
with the Chinese, General?
579
00:21:53,224 --> 00:21:54,965
I need to speak
with President Li.
580
00:21:55,009 --> 00:21:57,664
Due respect, ma'am,
actions speak louder.
581
00:21:57,707 --> 00:22:00,841
I will not risk war
without a dialogue.
582
00:22:00,884 --> 00:22:03,583
This is a rescue mission
until I say otherwise.
583
00:22:03,626 --> 00:22:05,062
Are w-- are we clear?
584
00:22:05,106 --> 00:22:07,108
Yes, ma'am.
Understood.Thank you.
585
00:22:11,982 --> 00:22:16,030
You invaded Chinese territory.
There is nothing more to say.
586
00:22:16,073 --> 00:22:19,816
President Li, we both know
accidents can happen.
587
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:23,516
I'm offering you a chance
to walk this back.
588
00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:25,387
This was no accident.Well, then, your attack
589
00:22:25,431 --> 00:22:27,389
was reckless and unprovoked.
590
00:22:27,433 --> 00:22:28,999
These flybys are routine.
591
00:22:29,043 --> 00:22:32,220
There's nothing routine
about defending our sovereignty.
592
00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:34,222
It is our island.
593
00:22:34,265 --> 00:22:37,181
You want to litigate that point,
let's do it in Singapore.
594
00:22:37,225 --> 00:22:39,009
At a renewed
diplomatic interchange.
595
00:22:39,053 --> 00:22:42,709
We no longer recognize
that interchange.
596
00:22:43,753 --> 00:22:46,974
Apologize and withdraw
your forces.
597
00:22:47,017 --> 00:22:49,237
I won't engage in ultimatums.
598
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,239
Those are my terms.
599
00:22:51,282 --> 00:22:55,069
The rest is up to you,
Madam President.
600
00:22:59,465 --> 00:23:02,032
Can we expect support
from our allies?
601
00:23:02,076 --> 00:23:04,426
In public, yes. In private,
I'm hearing concerns.
602
00:23:04,470 --> 00:23:07,429
Yeah, and in the meantime,
world markets are in free fall.
603
00:23:07,473 --> 00:23:09,213
Supermarkets are being overrun
604
00:23:09,257 --> 00:23:11,215
by people hoarding
basic supplies
605
00:23:11,259 --> 00:23:14,175
and the top search on Google
is "nuclear war."
606
00:23:14,218 --> 00:23:18,309
It might be time to consider
an Oval Office address, ma'am.
607
00:23:18,353 --> 00:23:20,877
Well, and say what? If we want
to allay people's concern,
608
00:23:20,921 --> 00:23:22,705
we have to get
our sailors
609
00:23:22,749 --> 00:23:25,186
and the Jamesout of there...HILL:
Madam President,
610
00:23:25,229 --> 00:23:27,623
SIGINT confirms
the PLA has gone
611
00:23:27,667 --> 00:23:29,625
to combat readiness
condition level 2.
612
00:23:29,669 --> 00:23:30,844
HAYES:
Dongfeng 5
613
00:23:30,887 --> 00:23:32,541
ICBMs are moving to launchpads.
614
00:23:32,585 --> 00:23:35,544
They'll be capable of
nuclear first strike
615
00:23:35,588 --> 00:23:37,851
within a few hours.
616
00:23:37,894 --> 00:23:40,157
That's absurd.HILL: And yet,
it's happening.
617
00:23:40,201 --> 00:23:41,376
Ma'am,
618
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:42,638
we must respond.
RUSSELL:
I agree.
619
00:23:42,682 --> 00:23:44,901
If this is how Li
620
00:23:44,945 --> 00:23:46,903
is choosing to communicate,
621
00:23:46,947 --> 00:23:48,949
we have to answer with strength.
622
00:23:48,992 --> 00:23:51,212
Go to DEFCON 2.
623
00:23:51,255 --> 00:23:53,780
Have all essential personnel
recalled to safe locations.
624
00:23:53,823 --> 00:23:56,217
Yes, ma'am.Yes, Madam President.
625
00:23:56,260 --> 00:24:01,788
Okay. I-- We need to track
President Li's logic here.
626
00:24:01,831 --> 00:24:04,181
It's a calculated flex.
627
00:24:04,225 --> 00:24:07,402
Probably because he believes
that I'm hamstrung
628
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:08,882
by the impeachment hearing,
right?
629
00:24:08,925 --> 00:24:11,406
THOMPSON:
Li thinks
you're too weak to risk
630
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,321
taking a divided nation to war.
631
00:24:13,364 --> 00:24:14,844
We just went to DEFCON 2,
632
00:24:14,888 --> 00:24:17,064
so that ought to make him
think twice.
633
00:24:17,107 --> 00:24:19,501
But Susan's right.
634
00:24:19,545 --> 00:24:22,373
We need to send
a message of unity.
635
00:24:22,417 --> 00:24:23,984
How?I'll ask Congress
636
00:24:24,027 --> 00:24:26,377
for Authorization for
the Use of Military Force.
637
00:24:26,421 --> 00:24:30,033
An AUMF?
In the middle of an impeachment?
638
00:24:30,077 --> 00:24:32,993
Especially in the middle
of an impeachment.
639
00:24:33,036 --> 00:24:36,213
I have to trust that Congress
will do the right thing.
640
00:24:36,257 --> 00:24:38,259
All right.
641
00:24:40,304 --> 00:24:41,654
I'll reach out to leadership.
642
00:24:41,697 --> 00:24:44,657
Susan, tell Minister Chen
I want to talk to him.
643
00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:46,702
I know it bypasses protocol,
but I need a conversation
644
00:24:46,746 --> 00:24:48,530
with a friend over there.
645
00:24:48,574 --> 00:24:51,707
THOMPSON: I'll see
what I can do.
646
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:54,275
NEWS ANCHOR:
President McCord
has just declared DEFCON 2,
647
00:24:54,318 --> 00:24:57,365
meaning all U.S. military
around the world
648
00:24:57,408 --> 00:24:58,932
stand at hair-trigger readiness.
649
00:24:58,975 --> 00:25:01,543
Supermarkets across the nation
are reportedly preparing
650
00:25:01,587 --> 00:25:03,371
for a rush
of panicked consumers...
651
00:25:03,414 --> 00:25:04,981
Man.
652
00:25:05,025 --> 00:25:07,549
Maybe not the best night to be
eating at a Chinese restaurant.
653
00:25:07,593 --> 00:25:10,552
Well, at least
it's pretty empty.Yeah,
654
00:25:10,596 --> 00:25:13,990
probably because everyone's
already in bomb shelters.
655
00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:15,383
Hey, maybe we should go.
656
00:25:15,426 --> 00:25:17,516
Oh, wh-- we can wait
for the check.
657
00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:18,952
Ah. This will cover it.
658
00:25:18,995 --> 00:25:22,477
Well, hang on. What about
our fortune cookies?
659
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,392
[laughs softly]
You hate fortune cookies.
660
00:25:24,435 --> 00:25:27,351
Well, maybe tonight I am feeling
a little bit superstitious.
661
00:25:27,395 --> 00:25:29,397
No change. Thanks.What...
662
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,486
What's, um-- wait.
663
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:33,183
Wh-- uh, hang on.
What's-what's the rush?
664
00:25:33,227 --> 00:25:34,750
Come on.
L-Let's read our fortunes.
665
00:25:34,794 --> 00:25:36,578
Excuse me.
We have a security alert.
666
00:25:36,622 --> 00:25:38,580
We need to get you
to the White House immediately.
667
00:25:38,624 --> 00:25:40,582
...and fired
upon the Edwin James
668
00:25:40,626 --> 00:25:41,757
when it passed within miles...
669
00:25:41,801 --> 00:25:43,150
Geez-- I'm coming,
I'm coming.
670
00:25:43,193 --> 00:25:45,195
Just...
671
00:25:49,983 --> 00:25:53,552
HAYES:
Rescue operations have
proceeded without interference.
672
00:25:53,595 --> 00:25:55,554
We've recovered our sailors
673
00:25:55,597 --> 00:25:58,034
and towed the Edwin James
out of area.
674
00:25:58,078 --> 00:25:59,645
But now the real threat is here.
675
00:25:59,688 --> 00:26:01,603
Admiral?
676
00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:03,431
FANNING:
A Chinese support fleet
has just assembled
677
00:26:03,474 --> 00:26:05,912
about 200 klicks west of Luzon.
678
00:26:05,955 --> 00:26:08,958
It includes
six Type 072 landing craft
679
00:26:09,002 --> 00:26:13,049
with a deck cargo of DF-21D
anti-ship ballistic missiles.
680
00:26:13,093 --> 00:26:14,877
They call it the carrier killer.
681
00:26:14,921 --> 00:26:17,488
ETA to Hainan Dao
is 12 hours.
682
00:26:17,532 --> 00:26:18,620
[sighs]
683
00:26:18,664 --> 00:26:19,969
Now, if those missiles
reach land...
684
00:26:20,013 --> 00:26:21,710
HILL:
It could neutralize
685
00:26:21,754 --> 00:26:25,453
our operative capabilities in
the South China Sea for decades.
686
00:26:25,496 --> 00:26:27,977
Clearly, this was the
endgame all along.
687
00:26:28,021 --> 00:26:32,112
To use the dustup with the
Jamesas a manufactured pretext
688
00:26:32,155 --> 00:26:34,636
to seize the regional advantage.
689
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,768
Freedom of navigation
690
00:26:35,811 --> 00:26:37,160
is a bedrock principle,
Madam President.
691
00:26:37,204 --> 00:26:40,511
Nothing short of our liberty
is at stake here.
692
00:26:40,555 --> 00:26:43,906
It's also a blatant violation
of the Singapore Interchange.
693
00:26:43,950 --> 00:26:46,343
We could go
to the U.N.[Russell scoffs]
694
00:26:46,387 --> 00:26:47,910
Where China has a veto.
695
00:26:47,954 --> 00:26:50,783
Or we can strike now.
696
00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:52,219
HILL:
He's right, ma'am.
697
00:26:52,262 --> 00:26:54,700
The alternative is
a complete retreat.
698
00:26:54,743 --> 00:26:56,571
What do you suggest?
699
00:26:56,615 --> 00:27:00,314
An immediate launch of our F-35s
on the USS Saratoga.
700
00:27:00,357 --> 00:27:02,185
The remainder
of the Fifth Fleet
701
00:27:02,229 --> 00:27:04,666
will launch Tomahawks against
the targets on Hainan Dao
702
00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:07,713
under Operation
Dragonfly.
703
00:27:07,756 --> 00:27:11,630
With China's nuclear forces
and ours on high alert?
704
00:27:11,673 --> 00:27:14,633
This could trigger a-a carnage
that we can't stop.
705
00:27:14,676 --> 00:27:17,766
HILL:
We have the superior capability
here, ma'am.
706
00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:19,333
Let's use it
707
00:27:19,376 --> 00:27:21,422
to shove them
back and retain
708
00:27:21,465 --> 00:27:23,206
our strategic advantage
709
00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:24,773
in the South China Sea.
710
00:27:24,817 --> 00:27:26,470
Well, I agree
711
00:27:26,514 --> 00:27:29,648
we can't let those missiles
reach the island.
712
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:32,738
But I am not prepared
to start a shooting war
713
00:27:32,781 --> 00:27:34,870
that could end with
the unthinkable.
714
00:27:34,914 --> 00:27:36,524
I want
715
00:27:36,567 --> 00:27:38,526
other options.
716
00:27:40,354 --> 00:27:43,444
What about a blockade?
717
00:27:45,402 --> 00:27:48,057
Declare an exclusion
zone around the island,
718
00:27:48,101 --> 00:27:50,494
block any attempt
to breach it?
719
00:27:50,538 --> 00:27:52,714
Is that possible?
720
00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:54,803
Well, in theory.
721
00:27:54,847 --> 00:27:56,892
It worked for Kennedy.
Why the hell not?
722
00:27:56,936 --> 00:27:59,634
Because it would put
us on the defensive.
723
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:01,723
And hands them the initiative.
724
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:05,074
If it leads to a peaceful
resolution, they can have it.
725
00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:07,076
Admiral,
establish the quarantine line.
726
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,382
Yes, ma'am.
727
00:28:08,425 --> 00:28:10,340
Susan, will you get
to the Chinese Embassy?
728
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:12,603
I want this ultimatum delivered
in person.
729
00:28:12,647 --> 00:28:14,257
Absolutely,
Madam President.
730
00:28:14,301 --> 00:28:16,216
RUSSELL:
I'll let you know
731
00:28:16,259 --> 00:28:17,870
if we get a response
from Beijing.
732
00:28:17,913 --> 00:28:19,088
The moment.
733
00:28:19,132 --> 00:28:20,829
Yeah. Meantime,
it's a waiting game.
734
00:28:20,873 --> 00:28:22,701
Whoa!
735
00:28:22,744 --> 00:28:24,572
You have your AUMF.
736
00:28:24,615 --> 00:28:27,053
Congress just passed it
in emergency session.
737
00:28:27,096 --> 00:28:29,272
All right, well,
let's make some noise about it.
738
00:28:29,316 --> 00:28:31,797
Oh, I'll make sure it's clanging
in President Li's ear.
739
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,450
Great.
740
00:28:35,670 --> 00:28:36,627
Well, hey.
741
00:28:36,671 --> 00:28:38,107
Hey.What-what are you doing?
742
00:28:38,151 --> 00:28:39,848
Well, I thought we
needed some champagne.
743
00:28:39,892 --> 00:28:42,024
Oh. Yeah.
744
00:28:42,068 --> 00:28:44,723
Sure. You know, champagne.
745
00:28:44,766 --> 00:28:47,638
Just what you want
when you're about an inch away
746
00:28:47,682 --> 00:28:49,510
from war
with a nuclear adversary.
747
00:28:49,553 --> 00:28:50,946
What? It's not...Of course,
748
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:53,209
there's always the impeachment
I'm trying to stave off,
749
00:28:53,253 --> 00:28:55,777
which is probably a
foregone conclusion
750
00:28:55,821 --> 00:28:57,997
after I ditched
my testimony.
751
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,868
Babe, uh...Oh, you're right.
752
00:28:59,912 --> 00:29:01,565
[whispers]:
Just pop it.
753
00:29:01,609 --> 00:29:03,785
It's not just
for us. Dmitri
754
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:05,656
and Stevie are on their way up.
755
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:07,789
I don't have time.
I'm so tired!
756
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:10,313
[gasps]
757
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:11,532
Oh, my gosh.
758
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:13,447
Yes! What happened?
759
00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:16,102
Well, so, security protocols
forced them
760
00:29:16,145 --> 00:29:17,625
to cut their date short
761
00:29:17,668 --> 00:29:20,323
and, uh, skip
their Potomac cruise, but...
762
00:29:20,367 --> 00:29:21,890
Oh, cruise-schmooze.
What happened at the dinner?
763
00:29:21,934 --> 00:29:24,588
Okay, all I know is
their detail said
764
00:29:24,632 --> 00:29:26,939
that they finished dinner,
which means that...
765
00:29:26,982 --> 00:29:28,679
Our little girl!
766
00:29:28,723 --> 00:29:30,290
Oh, here they are!The happy couple!
767
00:29:30,333 --> 00:29:31,639
There you are!
768
00:29:31,682 --> 00:29:33,119
Oh, come on.Oh. Oh. Hey.
769
00:29:33,162 --> 00:29:34,381
Hi.Hey.
770
00:29:34,424 --> 00:29:36,339
ELIZABETH:
Ah.We did not have dessert.
771
00:29:36,383 --> 00:29:37,819
ELIZABETH:
Oh.
772
00:29:37,863 --> 00:29:39,690
That's...
too bad.Yeah.
773
00:29:39,734 --> 00:29:41,997
Dessert is a cornerstone
of any meal, so...
Yeah.
774
00:29:42,041 --> 00:29:44,913
Yes, and we had to come straight
here from the restaurant.
775
00:29:44,957 --> 00:29:47,568
Well, oh,
we-we... we just thought
776
00:29:47,611 --> 00:29:49,744
that you'd want
to have some champagne with us.
777
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:50,963
There's water
for you.
778
00:29:51,006 --> 00:29:53,835
Yeah. While we still can.
779
00:29:53,879 --> 00:29:54,923
Yeah. Yeah, right.That's lovely of you.
780
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:56,142
Here you go.Thank you.
781
00:29:56,185 --> 00:29:57,708
Thank you.Sure. Thanks, guys.
782
00:29:57,752 --> 00:30:00,755
Honey. Yeah, well, here's to...
783
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,323
Nothing.
784
00:30:03,366 --> 00:30:04,890
[laughter]
785
00:30:04,933 --> 00:30:07,631
No. Stop.
786
00:30:07,675 --> 00:30:09,720
Sorry.
This is silly.
787
00:30:09,764 --> 00:30:12,027
This was meant
to be an occasion.
788
00:30:12,071 --> 00:30:13,768
A big occasion.
789
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,248
Henry, you didn't tell...
790
00:30:15,291 --> 00:30:17,728
On my honor. Stevie doesn't
know anything about it.
791
00:30:17,772 --> 00:30:19,034
STEVIE:
Wait. He knows? You...What?
792
00:30:19,078 --> 00:30:20,775
You told him?ELIZABETH:
No.
793
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:21,994
We didn't say anything.
794
00:30:22,037 --> 00:30:23,430
Never.I don't understand.
795
00:30:23,473 --> 00:30:24,735
Let's just...
everybody go home,
796
00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:26,433
because that's...Yeah. Uh, just...
797
00:30:26,476 --> 00:30:27,782
Let's just pretend
like it never happened.
798
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:31,873
Wait. I was going
to do this, um...
799
00:30:31,917 --> 00:30:33,657
I'm gonna do it.
800
00:30:33,701 --> 00:30:36,269
Dmitri... this is for you.
801
00:30:36,312 --> 00:30:38,401
Uh...
802
00:30:38,445 --> 00:30:40,926
It's the-the fortune inside.
803
00:30:40,969 --> 00:30:42,362
If you read it. Just...Oh.
804
00:30:42,405 --> 00:30:43,842
[laughs softly]
805
00:30:47,497 --> 00:30:49,935
Oh. Wow. This is...
806
00:30:49,978 --> 00:30:51,850
What does it say?"The early bird
807
00:30:51,893 --> 00:30:54,765
gets the worm, but the second
mouse gets the cheese."
808
00:30:54,809 --> 00:30:56,724
Wait. What?
809
00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:58,378
They mixed up the cookies.
810
00:30:58,421 --> 00:31:00,467
It's very true, though.Oh.
811
00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:02,469
STEVIE:
This was supposed to be
812
00:31:02,512 --> 00:31:04,688
a message from me.
813
00:31:04,732 --> 00:31:06,995
Um, a question, actually.
814
00:31:07,039 --> 00:31:08,867
I wanted to ask you to...
815
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:11,347
Stop. Please. Let me.
816
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:13,915
Here.
817
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:15,090
In front of your parents,
818
00:31:15,134 --> 00:31:16,700
even though it was
supposed to be alone
819
00:31:16,744 --> 00:31:18,746
on a boat.
[laughs] But
820
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:20,748
there might be a nuclear war,
and... Sorry, no offense,
821
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:22,793
Madam President.No problem. Go on.
822
00:31:22,837 --> 00:31:25,057
I don't know how to begin.
[laughs] No. I do know
823
00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:27,581
how to begin with you,
Stevie, because you...
824
00:31:27,624 --> 00:31:29,626
you are my beginning,
and the start
825
00:31:29,670 --> 00:31:31,498
of everything that
matters to me.
826
00:31:31,541 --> 00:31:33,935
My happiness
and hope for the future.
827
00:31:33,979 --> 00:31:35,719
I've been broken many times,
828
00:31:35,763 --> 00:31:37,939
and it's hard for me
to feel whole, but
829
00:31:37,983 --> 00:31:39,898
there's one time
I do feel whole.
830
00:31:39,941 --> 00:31:42,596
When you are with me.
And if you let me,
831
00:31:42,639 --> 00:31:45,773
I will dedicate my life
to making you feel whole, too.
832
00:31:45,816 --> 00:31:47,862
Because... because
I love you more
833
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:49,646
than I ever knew
I could love.
834
00:31:49,690 --> 00:31:51,431
[laughs]
835
00:31:52,475 --> 00:31:53,912
Stephanie McCord
will you...
836
00:31:53,955 --> 00:31:56,436
Madam President,
we need... you.
837
00:31:56,479 --> 00:31:57,828
Are you kidding me?I'm sor...
838
00:31:57,872 --> 00:31:59,961
Oh, my God.
Is-is he actually...?
839
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:03,312
Dmitri, as president,
I order you to finish
840
00:32:03,356 --> 00:32:04,748
that sentence!
Stevie,
will you marry me?
841
00:32:04,792 --> 00:32:06,272
Yes, yes,
for God's sake.
842
00:32:06,315 --> 00:32:07,664
HENRY:
Ah.
[laughter]
843
00:32:07,708 --> 00:32:09,797
Yay. Welcome
to the family.
844
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,625
I have to go. I don't know
when I'm coming back.
845
00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:12,800
Bye, Mom!Uh, just-just go.
846
00:32:12,843 --> 00:32:14,758
Ellen, what is it?
847
00:32:14,802 --> 00:32:17,413
It seems we have President Li's
answer to the blockade.
848
00:32:17,457 --> 00:32:18,980
Several high-speed
849
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:21,243
Type 22 Chinese missile boats
have broken away
850
00:32:21,287 --> 00:32:23,419
from the convoy headed
to Hainan Dao
851
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:26,901
and now are projected
to reach the quarantine line
852
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,947
in just four hours.
853
00:32:29,991 --> 00:32:32,428
Okay. Fire up
Marine One.
854
00:32:32,472 --> 00:32:33,864
Where are you going?
855
00:32:33,908 --> 00:32:35,954
New York to see
Minister Chen.
856
00:32:35,997 --> 00:32:37,042
Well, he wouldn't
take your calls.
857
00:32:37,085 --> 00:32:38,521
Why do you think
he'll meet with you?
858
00:32:38,565 --> 00:32:41,524
Because he knows where
this is heading if he doesn't.
859
00:32:55,582 --> 00:32:57,149
Excuse me,
Minister Chen?
860
00:32:57,192 --> 00:32:59,194
Yes. What is it?
861
00:33:03,894 --> 00:33:05,809
Ming, you got a minute?Ambushed
862
00:33:05,853 --> 00:33:07,681
by the American president.
863
00:33:07,724 --> 00:33:10,031
Definitely one for the memoir.
864
00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:12,991
I look forward to
reading it one day.
865
00:33:13,034 --> 00:33:15,036
In a future
where we manage
866
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,865
to find a way out
of this crisis.
867
00:33:17,908 --> 00:33:19,867
Your naval blockade
isn't helping.
868
00:33:19,910 --> 00:33:22,304
China attacked us,
869
00:33:22,348 --> 00:33:25,090
murdering 24 U.S. sailors.
870
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:27,135
Don't.
871
00:33:27,179 --> 00:33:29,181
[sighs]
872
00:33:31,313 --> 00:33:33,272
I mean, for the
sake of the world,
873
00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:35,274
I hope you can
help me understand
874
00:33:35,317 --> 00:33:37,450
what the hell Li is doing.
875
00:33:37,493 --> 00:33:40,279
Li didn't approve
firing on your ship.
876
00:33:40,322 --> 00:33:42,542
It was a rogue commander
877
00:33:42,585 --> 00:33:46,111
who thinks the party
has lost its way.
878
00:33:46,154 --> 00:33:49,070
[laughs]
Well...
879
00:33:49,114 --> 00:33:50,593
That's good.
880
00:33:50,637 --> 00:33:53,944
That means that Li doesn't
want this confrontation
881
00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:55,337
any more than I do.
882
00:33:55,381 --> 00:33:58,645
But he can't admit
his military acted alone.
883
00:33:58,688 --> 00:34:00,908
He needs to preserve his honor.
884
00:34:00,951 --> 00:34:03,084
The fact
that you're a woman...
885
00:34:03,128 --> 00:34:05,086
For Pete's sake.I'm just saying,
886
00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:07,306
it's a factor.Would he rather
blow up the world
887
00:34:07,349 --> 00:34:09,395
than back down
to a girl?
888
00:34:09,438 --> 00:34:12,267
President Li is a...
proud man.
889
00:34:12,311 --> 00:34:14,400
Too bad.
890
00:34:14,443 --> 00:34:16,271
No.
891
00:34:16,315 --> 00:34:19,840
I am not allowing the
militarization of Hainan Dao.
892
00:34:19,883 --> 00:34:22,103
Then there's no way out.
893
00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:24,149
[sighs, sniffles]
894
00:34:27,413 --> 00:34:29,806
If this is really
about President Li's
895
00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,852
pride and honor...
896
00:34:33,288 --> 00:34:36,335
...then what if we move our
ships away from the island
897
00:34:36,378 --> 00:34:37,727
before your
ships get there?
898
00:34:37,771 --> 00:34:39,773
So you will back down?
899
00:34:39,816 --> 00:34:42,167
No.
900
00:34:42,210 --> 00:34:45,170
Even from hundreds
of miles away,
901
00:34:45,213 --> 00:34:48,216
we can still strike
the quarantine line.
902
00:34:48,260 --> 00:34:51,176
And we will do that if
your vessels cross it.
903
00:34:51,219 --> 00:34:55,310
But Li can claim
the United States blinked first.
904
00:34:55,354 --> 00:34:58,226
Yes, and then quietly
order his ships
905
00:34:58,270 --> 00:35:00,272
to steer away
from Hainan Dao.
906
00:35:05,190 --> 00:35:07,148
As a friend,
907
00:35:07,192 --> 00:35:11,935
I want to share that
Stevie got engaged tonight.
908
00:35:11,979 --> 00:35:14,199

I know.
910

Thank you.
912
00:35:25,384 --> 00:35:27,386
I wish the same for you.
913
00:35:31,868 --> 00:35:33,870
That was manipulative,
914
00:35:33,914 --> 00:35:36,090
but highly effective.
915
00:35:37,918 --> 00:35:39,920
The truth often is.
916

Madam President,
942
00:36:35,932 --> 00:36:38,631
we were discussing your contacts
with Foreign Minister Tousi.
943
00:36:38,674 --> 00:36:40,589
ELIZABETH:
Yes, I recall, Mr. Chairman.
944
00:36:40,633 --> 00:36:43,679
Then you must also recall
that, uh, you left intentionally
945
00:36:43,723 --> 00:36:45,464
before I could inquire
about the matter.
946
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:47,205
I left because
947
00:36:47,248 --> 00:36:50,120
there was an
international incident that...
948
00:36:50,164 --> 00:36:52,601
required my immediate attention.
949
00:36:52,645 --> 00:36:55,256
Yes. An armed conflict
with China that resulted
950
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:57,345
in two dozen
American fatalities.
951
00:36:57,389 --> 00:36:59,521
Tragically, yes.But you deftly
952
00:36:59,565 --> 00:37:01,828
navigated your way
around a potential war,
953
00:37:01,871 --> 00:37:03,090
didn't you?
954
00:37:03,133 --> 00:37:04,483
Mr. Chairman, is there
an actual question here?
955
00:37:04,526 --> 00:37:05,745
Yes, there is.
Isn't it true
956
00:37:05,788 --> 00:37:07,703
that the conflict
with China,
957
00:37:07,747 --> 00:37:11,316
and its magical resolution,
was entirely fabricated
958
00:37:11,359 --> 00:37:13,231
by your administration
to distract
959
00:37:13,274 --> 00:37:14,493

impeachment proceedings?

00:37:18,758 --> 00:37:21,804
Madam President,
there is a question outstanding.
963
00:37:21,848 --> 00:37:23,328
It isn't a question.
964
00:37:23,371 --> 00:37:25,460
It's an accusation.
965
00:37:25,504 --> 00:37:27,723
And I will not support
your attempt
966
00:37:27,767 --> 00:37:30,073
to politicize
the sacrifice
967
00:37:30,117 --> 00:37:32,032

968
00:37:32,075 --> 00:37:34,077
protecting our country.
969
00:37:34,121 --> 00:37:36,776
I will then, uh, repeat
the question one more time.

not going to answer it.

But if you refuse
to respond, you do leave
973
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:43,870

but to hold you in contempt.

Mr. Chairman!
978
00:37:51,094 --> 00:37:53,880
Since the inception of these

your pulpit to grandstand
and peacock
980
00:37:56,491 --> 00:37:58,493

at the expense
981
00:37:58,537 --> 00:38:00,930

to offer...
983
00:38:04,325 --> 00:38:06,806
but imaginary
conspiracy theories
984
00:38:06,849 --> 00:38:09,287
and false narratives
about the president's
985

secret alliances with Iran,
986
00:38:11,114 --> 00:38:12,377

and her alleged corruption.

00:38:14,030 --> 00:38:15,597
You will stand down,

I have yielded my time
to you over and over again.

Out of fundamental fairness,

For the past two months--

996
00:38:36,226 --> 00:38:38,794
and the Senate Intelligence
Committee before it
997
00:38:38,838 --> 00:38:42,189

to undermine

all at the direction
999
00:38:45,584 --> 00:38:47,325

1000
00:38:47,368 --> 00:38:50,458
who just last week was
peddling similar falsehoods
1001
00:38:50,502 --> 00:38:52,591
about the rescue of
an American citizen
1002
00:38:52,634 --> 00:38:54,767
who was kidnapped
by Iran.
1003
00:38:54,810 --> 00:38:57,900
Someone has to call these
hearings out for what they are.
1004
00:38:57,944 --> 00:39:00,033
A political hatchet job.

00:40:49,229 --> 00:40:50,404
Roar of the crowd.
1056
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:51,579
What crowd?
1057
00:40:51,623 --> 00:40:52,711
Protestors.
1058
00:40:52,754 --> 00:40:54,277
Few million of 'em.
1059
00:40:54,321 --> 00:40:56,976
Oh, my God.
1060
00:40:57,019 --> 00:40:59,239
They want me out?
No.
1061
00:40:59,282 --> 00:41:00,588
They want you in.
1062
00:41:07,377 --> 00:41:10,598
Holy... moley.
1063
00:41:10,642 --> 00:41:13,862
It's happening all over
the country, all 50 states.
1064
00:41:13,906 --> 00:41:15,603
People are in the streets.
1065
00:41:15,647 --> 00:41:17,692
They say it's the biggest
public protest ever.
1066
00:41:17,736 --> 00:41:19,564
What happened?
1067
00:41:19,607 --> 00:41:22,088
As far as they can tell,
it started with this
1068
00:41:22,131 --> 00:41:23,524
ten-year-old girl
from Atlanta
1069
00:41:23,568 --> 00:41:25,657
who convinced her mom
to drive through the night
1070
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:28,442
so she could hold her sign
up by the gate down there.
1071
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:32,098
What... what did it say?
1072
00:41:33,621 --> 00:41:35,971
"She's my president."
1073
00:41:36,015 --> 00:41:39,235
Cable news picked
it up, social media.
1074
00:41:39,279 --> 00:41:41,760
That's what
they're chanting.
1075
00:41:41,803 --> 00:41:44,153
CROWD [chanting]:
She's my president!
1076
00:41:44,197 --> 00:41:47,113
I mean, how...?
1077
00:41:47,156 --> 00:41:49,115
How do millions of people
1078
00:41:49,158 --> 00:41:51,552
spontaneously take
to the streets?
1079
00:41:51,596 --> 00:41:53,119
I don't know.
1080
00:41:53,162 --> 00:41:55,600
You helped avoid World War III,
1081
00:41:55,643 --> 00:41:58,559
and all your opponents wanted to
do was throw you out of office.
1082
00:41:58,603 --> 00:42:02,171
Well, there-there's still the
vote in the Judiciary Committee.
1083
00:42:02,215 --> 00:42:04,434
No, it's over.
1084
00:42:04,478 --> 00:42:07,046
They called an emergency
session half an hour ago.
1085
00:42:07,089 --> 00:42:09,701
The one day
I sleep in...
Well...
1086
00:42:09,744 --> 00:42:11,485
And? Well...And?
1087
00:42:11,529 --> 00:42:13,618
What do you think?
In the face of this,
1088
00:42:13,661 --> 00:42:15,837
the only vote
for impeachment was Canning's.
1089
00:42:15,881 --> 00:42:17,709
So that's it?
It's over?
1090
00:42:17,752 --> 00:42:19,449
It's over.
1091
00:42:19,493 --> 00:42:22,627
The impeachment inquiry
is officially over.
1092
00:42:22,670 --> 00:42:24,237
Come on.
1093
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,500
CROWD [chanting]:
She's my president!
1094
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:29,068
She's my president!
1095
00:42:29,111 --> 00:42:31,070
She's
my president!
1096
00:42:31,113 --> 00:42:33,638
She's my president!
1097
00:42:33,681 --> 00:42:35,640
She's my president!
1098
00:42:35,683 --> 00:42:37,642
She's my president!
1099
00:42:37,685 --> 00:42:40,079
She's my president!
1100
00:42:40,122 --> 00:42:42,124
She's my president!
1101
00:42:42,168 --> 00:42:46,215
She's my president!
She's my president!
1102
00:42:46,259 --> 00:42:48,478
She's my president!
1103
00:42:48,522 --> 00:42:50,698
She's my president!
1104
00:42:50,742 --> 00:42:52,700
She's my president!
