Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,519 --> 00:00:01,856
I don't know.
2
00:00:01,857 --> 00:00:03,007
I feel like...
3
00:00:03,972 --> 00:00:07,084
I feel like these shoes are
at a different party.
4
00:00:07,108 --> 00:00:10,488
You know? One where fun goes to die.
5
00:00:10,512 --> 00:00:12,757
So less corporate, more red carpet?
6
00:00:12,781 --> 00:00:13,890
I think so. Great.
7
00:00:13,891 --> 00:00:15,669
Thanks, Roxanne.
8
00:00:15,693 --> 00:00:17,671
I really appreciate you jumping in.
9
00:00:17,695 --> 00:00:19,840
Ali usually helps me with big events,
10
00:00:19,864 --> 00:00:23,177
but she's doing
an internship abroad and...
11
00:00:23,201 --> 00:00:24,918
No problem. Okay.
12
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:28,448
These should put the fun
in fundraiser.
13
00:00:28,472 --> 00:00:30,117
Oh, yeah. See?
14
00:00:30,141 --> 00:00:32,286
Now, look.
15
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:34,588
This is why women
have a thing about shoes.
16
00:00:34,612 --> 00:00:36,657
They do?
17
00:00:36,681 --> 00:00:37,991
Well, that's news to me.
18
00:00:38,015 --> 00:00:39,593
Oh, hey, handsome.
19
00:00:39,617 --> 00:00:41,128
I love you in that old thing.
20
00:00:41,152 --> 00:00:43,400
- It never gets old.
- That's why it's a classic.
21
00:00:43,401 --> 00:00:44,461
It certainly is.
22
00:00:44,462 --> 00:00:46,433
Okay, I got to go over
and work on my remarks.
23
00:00:46,457 --> 00:00:47,601
No, d-don't touch.
24
00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:50,237
All right. Good seeing you, Roxanne.
25
00:00:50,261 --> 00:00:53,307
Well, I think we got a winner.
What do you think?
26
00:00:53,331 --> 00:00:54,474
Yeah.
27
00:00:54,498 --> 00:00:56,310
There's just one other wardrobe issue
28
00:00:56,334 --> 00:00:57,744
we should discuss moving forward.
29
00:00:57,768 --> 00:00:59,580
It's about your husband.
30
00:00:59,604 --> 00:01:02,749
So you'll at least want to
get a drive-by with Senator Wagner.
31
00:01:02,773 --> 00:01:05,352
He has a sweet tooth, so
target the dessert table.
32
00:01:05,376 --> 00:01:07,421
And, uh, Senator Langston might
be a little harder to pin down.
33
00:01:07,445 --> 00:01:09,423
Oh, Sydney and Louise Winters's winery
34
00:01:09,447 --> 00:01:11,391
had a great harvest coming off
an award-winning year,
35
00:01:11,415 --> 00:01:13,093
so you can lean on them
to up their grant.
36
00:01:13,117 --> 00:01:14,628
Just for one night,
37
00:01:14,652 --> 00:01:18,799
can we not think about
fundraising or votes?
38
00:01:18,823 --> 00:01:23,136
Come on. This event actually
has the potential to be fun.
39
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,005
You might be
in the wrong profession, ma'am.
40
00:01:25,029 --> 00:01:27,407
I said "one night," Blake. I'm
not having a vocational crisis.
41
00:01:27,431 --> 00:01:29,443
- Good to know.
- But this is Henry's night to shine,
42
00:01:29,467 --> 00:01:34,181
so I am perfectly justified
staying out of the spotlight.
43
00:01:34,205 --> 00:01:36,750
Yes, ma'am.
44
00:01:36,774 --> 00:01:40,888
Oh, it's the McCords,
in glamorous formal wear.
45
00:01:40,912 --> 00:01:42,422
- I feel itchy.
- Oh, you feel itchy?
46
00:01:42,446 --> 00:01:45,365
Well, y-you look really g...
that looks great.
47
00:01:46,317 --> 00:01:48,462
You have on writer's face.
48
00:01:48,486 --> 00:01:49,963
What...
No, I had writer's face before.
49
00:01:49,987 --> 00:01:51,598
This is public remarks face.
50
00:01:51,622 --> 00:01:52,766
Oh. Well, okay.
51
00:01:52,790 --> 00:01:54,801
- Let's do this.
- Okay.
52
00:01:54,825 --> 00:01:56,637
Thank you.
53
00:01:56,661 --> 00:01:58,745
Okay.

55
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,552
Ladies and gentlemen,
President Elizabeth McCord
56
00:02:12,576 --> 00:02:15,606
- and First Gentleman Dr. Henry McCord.
- _
57
00:02:22,453 --> 00:02:25,032
Madam Secretary,
it's a pleasure to see you.
58
00:02:25,056 --> 00:02:27,868
And you, too, Madam President.
59
00:02:27,892 --> 00:02:32,639
Is Minister Chen playing nice
on the Taiwanese negotiations?
60
00:02:32,663 --> 00:02:34,975
Oh, I've got his number.
I think he misses you.
61
00:02:34,999 --> 00:02:37,477
Excuse me.
62
00:02:37,501 --> 00:02:39,446
- Hi, you.
- Senators Windbag
63
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:41,014
and Expediency are here as expected.
64
00:02:41,038 --> 00:02:42,616
Good to see you.
65
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:43,653
Good evening, Mike.
66
00:02:43,654 --> 00:02:45,585
Not if we can't get your
wildly unrealistic,
67
00:02:45,609 --> 00:02:47,587
giving-me-palpitations
legislative meatball
68
00:02:47,611 --> 00:02:48,755
- over the finish line.
- Thank you.
69
00:02:48,779 --> 00:02:50,624
You have votes to whip,
lady. I mean, Madam.
70
00:02:50,648 --> 00:02:52,492
- President.
- I was sort of hoping
71
00:02:52,516 --> 00:02:54,161
to take the night off.
72
00:02:54,185 --> 00:02:56,229
So, Wagner likes to feel important.
73
00:02:56,253 --> 00:02:58,432
So just act like you're there
seeking his brilliant counsel
74
00:02:58,456 --> 00:02:59,900
and actually give a crap
75
00:02:59,924 --> 00:03:01,576
about his spectacular blowhardery.
76
00:03:01,577 --> 00:03:04,504
That and he likes to brag
about bringing home the bacon
77
00:03:04,528 --> 00:03:05,839
to his constituents.
78
00:03:05,863 --> 00:03:09,343
Langston is an idealist
but responds to power,
79
00:03:09,367 --> 00:03:11,178
so just pummel her.
80
00:03:11,202 --> 00:03:14,581
Isn't it a bit unseemly
for the president to pummel?
81
00:03:14,605 --> 00:03:18,618
Failure is unseemlier, and your
hundredth day in office looms.
82
00:03:21,579 --> 00:03:25,392
Now, see, that's something that
we can all reach consensus on.
83
00:03:25,416 --> 00:03:27,227
We ought to chocolate-cover every bill
84
00:03:27,251 --> 00:03:30,230
that comes to the floor, Madam President.
85
00:03:30,254 --> 00:03:32,733
Thanks for coming out tonight,
Senator Wagner.
86
00:03:32,757 --> 00:03:36,169
Any chance to hear that
scholarly husband of yours talk.
87
00:03:36,193 --> 00:03:38,672
Well, that's nice to hear.
88
00:03:38,696 --> 00:03:42,109
Be even nicer to hear if I had
your support for the ESI bill.
89
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:45,779
I support the infrastructure piece,
90
00:03:45,803 --> 00:03:48,882
but some of my colleagues and I
have concerns
91
00:03:48,906 --> 00:03:52,125
about the education handouts.
92
00:03:53,177 --> 00:03:57,157
Well, we can't have
next-gen infrastructure
93
00:03:57,181 --> 00:04:00,727
without innovations in science,
and we can't lead in science
94
00:04:00,751 --> 00:04:02,062
without investing in education...
95
00:04:02,086 --> 00:04:04,965
The hip bone's connected
to the thigh bone.
96
00:04:04,989 --> 00:04:06,967
I've heard your pitch, ma'am,
but the people of Alabama
97
00:04:06,991 --> 00:04:09,136
don't care about the body politic.
98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,205
They care about runaway spending.
99
00:04:12,229 --> 00:04:13,874
Do you think
100
00:04:13,898 --> 00:04:17,878
that those concerns
might be allayed if we make sure
101
00:04:17,902 --> 00:04:20,080
contracts for rebuilding
Alabama's schools
102
00:04:20,104 --> 00:04:24,023
only go to local
construction companies?
103
00:04:25,609 --> 00:04:30,563
That might be just the chocolate
fix they need, Madam President.
104
00:04:32,483 --> 00:04:34,294
Before you all knew him
105
00:04:34,318 --> 00:04:37,998
as the First Gentleman
of the United States,
106
00:04:38,022 --> 00:04:41,101
he was known in many circles
for other things.
107
00:04:41,125 --> 00:04:45,005
Fighter pilot, religious
scholar, acclaimed author,
108
00:04:45,029 --> 00:04:47,074
White House advisor.
109
00:04:47,098 --> 00:04:48,742
Clearly, he did the best he could
110
00:04:48,766 --> 00:04:50,477
with the limited talents he had.
111
00:04:52,103 --> 00:04:55,115
Please welcome Dr. Henry McCord.
112
00:04:58,642 --> 00:05:01,321
Thank you, Patricia.
Thank you very much.
113
00:05:01,345 --> 00:05:04,825
Well, it's true, I've had
a blessed and weird life
114
00:05:04,849 --> 00:05:07,094
and I've pursued
some challenging paths.
115
00:05:07,118 --> 00:05:09,896
But what you probably don't know
is that I could never have been
116
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,934
any of those things without poetry.
117
00:05:13,958 --> 00:05:16,603
I mean, here I was,
this goofy, working-class kid
118
00:05:16,627 --> 00:05:20,841
from Pittsburgh without a single
interesting thought in my mind.
119
00:05:20,865 --> 00:05:24,177
And then, in high school, I had
this great teacher, Mr. Eastman,
120
00:05:24,201 --> 00:05:29,015
who made me read Gerard Manley
Hopkins and Emily Dickinson
121
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:33,053
and Langston Hughes and Blaise Pascal.
122
00:05:33,077 --> 00:05:37,190
These were theologians,
philosophers, innovators
123
00:05:37,214 --> 00:05:38,692
and artists.
124
00:05:38,716 --> 00:05:43,063
And suddenly, my mind caught fire.
125
00:05:43,087 --> 00:05:47,100
I... the way they used words
just lit up my imagination
126
00:05:47,124 --> 00:05:52,072
and expanded my concept of the divine.
127
00:05:52,096 --> 00:05:55,948
They ignited all my passions
and put them in one place.
128
00:05:56,934 --> 00:05:59,246
In his poem "High Flight,"
129
00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:02,649
John Gillespie Magee Jr. wrote,
130
00:06:02,673 --> 00:06:06,520
"Oh, I have slipped
the surly bonds of earth,
131
00:06:06,544 --> 00:06:09,823
And danced the skies
on laughter-silvered wings."
132
00:06:09,847 --> 00:06:12,893
When I read that passage,
I instantly knew two things:
133
00:06:12,917 --> 00:06:17,030
I wanted to study theology
and I wanted to fly.
134
00:06:18,222 --> 00:06:21,401
Artists have inspired me
to do everything
135
00:06:21,425 --> 00:06:24,070
that's meaningful in my life.
136
00:06:24,094 --> 00:06:26,606
I may have even leaned on
a little Keats and Shakespeare
137
00:06:26,630 --> 00:06:28,608
when I was wooing my beautiful wife.
138
00:06:32,236 --> 00:06:34,447
There is nothing that drives
139
00:06:34,471 --> 00:06:38,018
our world-leading economy
like creativity,
140
00:06:38,042 --> 00:06:42,822
and there is nothing that drives
creativity like the arts.
141
00:06:42,846 --> 00:06:47,827
It is vital that we foster them
and invest in them.
142
00:06:47,851 --> 00:06:49,736
Thank you very much.
143
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:54,668
Don't tell people this, but...
144
00:06:54,692 --> 00:06:57,070
Thomas Aquinas walks into a bar...
145
00:06:57,094 --> 00:07:00,674
I'm so sorry to pull rank, but
the first gentleman is needed
146
00:07:00,698 --> 00:07:02,542
for an emergency dancing situation,
147
00:07:02,566 --> 00:07:03,877
- and it can't be helped.
- Sorry.
148
00:07:03,901 --> 00:07:06,213
Can't say no to the chief.
149
00:07:09,373 --> 00:07:11,457
- Well, hello.
- Hello.
150
00:07:13,077 --> 00:07:16,489
We haven't danced like this
since the inaugural ball.
151
00:07:16,513 --> 00:07:18,658
We haven't danced at all since then.
152
00:07:18,682 --> 00:07:20,860
Well, there was
that midnight Macarena moment.
153
00:07:20,884 --> 00:07:23,302
Okay, that was fun.
154
00:07:26,991 --> 00:07:31,304
You know, sometimes I just can't
believe this is all real.
155
00:07:31,328 --> 00:07:32,939
Right?
156
00:07:32,963 --> 00:07:34,874
The only way I know this isn't a dream
157
00:07:34,898 --> 00:07:37,010
is because I can still work my phone.
158
00:07:37,034 --> 00:07:38,178
What?
159
00:07:38,202 --> 00:07:42,349
You can't work technology
in your dream.
160
00:07:42,373 --> 00:07:44,117
- You're crazy. Yes, you can.
- No. You can't.
161
00:07:44,141 --> 00:07:45,752
- I can. Yes, I can.
- No, you can't.
162
00:07:45,776 --> 00:07:47,087
It's scientifically proven.
163
00:07:47,111 --> 00:07:49,856
- Oh, yeah? What... who are the scientists...
- Yeah.
164
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,358
that did this experiment?
165
00:07:51,382 --> 00:07:53,326
Well, I'm going to get somebody on it.
166
00:07:58,522 --> 00:08:01,334
I love you, Henry McCord.
167
00:08:01,358 --> 00:08:03,803
I love you, Madam President.
168
00:08:11,502 --> 00:08:13,480
You can't beat this commute.
169
00:08:13,504 --> 00:08:14,881
No. From now on,
170
00:08:14,905 --> 00:08:16,783
let's only have jobs
that are in our house.
171
00:08:16,807 --> 00:08:18,285
I agree.
172
00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:19,953
Well, I go left here.
173
00:08:19,977 --> 00:08:21,855
Okay, have a good day.
Keep an open mind.
174
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,463
About what?
175
00:08:24,415 --> 00:08:26,559
Anything that comes up.
176
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:28,028
Elizabeth...
177
00:08:28,052 --> 00:08:29,863
It's just all-around
solid advice. I love you.
178
00:08:29,887 --> 00:08:32,032
- Uh...
- Morning, Dr. McCord.
179
00:08:32,056 --> 00:08:33,109
Good morning, Evan.
180
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:34,501
Last night's speech
already paying dividends.
181
00:08:34,525 --> 00:08:36,736
- Well, let's hear it.
- Two more senators and five House members
182
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,605
signed on to your increased
NEA-funding push.
183
00:08:38,629 --> 00:08:39,973
My kind of dividends.
184
00:08:39,997 --> 00:08:42,342
And you're confirmed for
Colbert this afternoon.
185
00:08:42,366 --> 00:08:44,711
Cool. And terrifying.
Flying out of Andrews at 1300.
186
00:08:44,735 --> 00:08:46,946
Um, and Jason's definitely
coming with, right?
187
00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:49,589
I'll make sure he's got a seat.
And you have a visitor.
188
00:08:51,809 --> 00:08:53,353
Roxanne.
189
00:08:53,377 --> 00:08:55,288
- This is a surprise.
- Really, Dr. McCord?
190
00:08:55,312 --> 00:08:57,430
I convinced the commander in chief.
191
00:08:59,183 --> 00:09:00,600
Meet your new wardrobe.
192
00:09:02,553 --> 00:09:03,697
Oh, hey.
193
00:09:03,721 --> 00:09:05,031
Good timing.
194
00:09:05,055 --> 00:09:07,334
I know I haven't brought this up
lately, or today,
195
00:09:07,358 --> 00:09:10,036
but this is day 98, which
means only two more days
196
00:09:10,060 --> 00:09:11,504
- until I can quit.
- I know. I know, Mike.
197
00:09:11,528 --> 00:09:12,605
Do you, though?
198
00:09:12,629 --> 00:09:14,908
Yes. I-I have
your shortlist on my desk.
199
00:09:14,932 --> 00:09:16,076
Actually, here it is again,
200
00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:17,277
because I fished it out from the pile
201
00:09:17,301 --> 00:09:18,445
and gingerly blew the dust off of it.
202
00:09:18,469 --> 00:09:20,980
You haven't brought
any of those people in.
203
00:09:21,004 --> 00:09:21,769
I will.
204
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:23,683
Yes, you will, because the
leader of the free world
205
00:09:23,707 --> 00:09:25,318
would not go back on her word.
206
00:09:25,342 --> 00:09:27,320
No, she wouldn't.
207
00:09:27,344 --> 00:09:30,123
Look, I don't want the
job Jay Whitman rejected.
208
00:09:30,147 --> 00:09:32,292
I want the job you promised me:
209
00:09:32,316 --> 00:09:33,727
counselor to the president.
210
00:09:33,751 --> 00:09:35,729
Behind the scenes, under the radar.
211
00:09:35,753 --> 00:09:38,531
Cracking heads and crushing enemies.
212
00:09:38,555 --> 00:09:41,901
But you're so good
at being my chief of staff.
213
00:09:41,925 --> 00:09:45,105
Acting chief of staff,
and of course I'm amazing at it.
214
00:09:45,129 --> 00:09:46,740
But I hate it.
215
00:09:46,764 --> 00:09:48,441
It's all relationships and people.
216
00:09:48,465 --> 00:09:50,917
So many people... in person.
217
00:09:51,869 --> 00:09:53,646
Well, I'm gonna need some more time.
218
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:55,482
No. No, that was not the deal.
219
00:09:55,506 --> 00:09:58,518
I agreed to filling in
for the first 100 days.
220
00:09:58,542 --> 00:09:59,853
We shook on it.
221
00:09:59,877 --> 00:10:02,756
Don't punish me because Jay
had a mental breakdown.
222
00:10:02,780 --> 00:10:04,090
It wasn't a breakdown.
223
00:10:04,114 --> 00:10:05,658
- Total breakdown.
- It was love.
224
00:10:05,682 --> 00:10:08,061
What's the difference? The kid
walked out on his dream job.
225
00:10:08,085 --> 00:10:09,295
For what? A chess player?
226
00:10:09,319 --> 00:10:11,431
- To be happy?
- From Holland?
227
00:10:11,455 --> 00:10:13,233
- That's sexy.
- To start a family?
228
00:10:13,257 --> 00:10:15,602
To not end up alone?
229
00:10:15,626 --> 00:10:17,137
Oh, what's that?
230
00:10:17,161 --> 00:10:19,506
Clearly, things you don't care about.
231
00:10:19,530 --> 00:10:21,574
- Yeah, and I cannot care about those things...
- Exactly why you are perfect
232
00:10:21,598 --> 00:10:23,443
- for this job.
- ...when I have the job that I want.
233
00:10:23,467 --> 00:10:26,446
Okay, I hear you.
234
00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:28,181
- Until then?
- Whip count is 58
235
00:10:28,205 --> 00:10:30,083
after you secured Langston
and Wagner last night.
236
00:10:30,107 --> 00:10:32,385
- Well, that's great.
- It's great-adjacent.
237
00:10:32,409 --> 00:10:34,554
We're still two votes shy
of a filibuster-proof majority,
238
00:10:34,578 --> 00:10:36,050
so start thinking about which kid
you're willing to sacrifice.
239
00:10:36,051 --> 00:10:36,974
Good morning, ma'am.
240
00:10:36,975 --> 00:10:38,024
- Good morning.
- Lemon poppyseed.
241
00:10:38,048 --> 00:10:39,826
What did you call me?
242
00:10:39,850 --> 00:10:42,796
- You really need to calm down.
- And see? He's back to being an assistant.
243
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:45,198
Uh, ROTUS. Receptionist
of the United States.
244
00:10:45,222 --> 00:10:46,966
- That's worse.
- That's a promotion.
245
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:48,368
That's how she gets you.
246
00:10:48,392 --> 00:10:50,203
Okay. Ma'am, Ephraim Ware
and FBI Director Banks
247
00:10:50,227 --> 00:10:51,538
are in your office.
They say it's urgent.
248
00:10:51,562 --> 00:10:52,806
More urgent than passing
249
00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:53,940
the most ambitious
legislative tour de force
250
00:10:53,964 --> 00:10:55,175
- of the century?
- Morning.
251
00:10:55,199 --> 00:10:57,844
New intel on the Knights
of Western Freedom or...?
252
00:10:57,868 --> 00:11:00,346
No, ma'am. It's Iran.
253
00:11:00,370 --> 00:11:02,015
That's never good.
254
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:03,283
Madam President, yesterday morning,
255
00:11:03,307 --> 00:11:06,019
I received a call
from my counterpart in Mossad.
256
00:11:06,043 --> 00:11:08,288
During an Israeli
counterintelligence operation,
257
00:11:08,312 --> 00:11:10,790
agents came across court documents
258
00:11:10,814 --> 00:11:13,726
from Senator Beauregard Miller's
divorce on a VAJA server.
259
00:11:13,750 --> 00:11:16,329
- Which documents?
- Same ones
260
00:11:16,353 --> 00:11:17,497
about Miller cheating on his wife,
261
00:11:17,521 --> 00:11:19,032
fathering a child with
one of his staffers
262
00:11:19,056 --> 00:11:21,367
that were leaked to a
reporter during the campaign.
263
00:11:21,391 --> 00:11:24,070
And Mossad thinks
the Iranians hacked them?
264
00:11:24,094 --> 00:11:26,005
Yes, ma'am, and the
Bureau's own metadata
265
00:11:26,029 --> 00:11:29,442
and friends at code analysis
confirm Iranian origin.
266
00:11:29,466 --> 00:11:30,877
Let's not panic. Valerie Guillen,
267
00:11:30,901 --> 00:11:32,078
from The Chronicle,
she broke the story.
268
00:11:32,102 --> 00:11:33,112
What does she have to say?
269
00:11:33,136 --> 00:11:34,113
She's not giving up her source.
270
00:11:34,137 --> 00:11:35,215
But she denies
271
00:11:35,239 --> 00:11:36,483
receiving the documents
from the Iranians.
272
00:11:36,507 --> 00:11:37,550
She could have gotten them
273
00:11:37,574 --> 00:11:39,018
through a third party.
274
00:11:39,042 --> 00:11:40,753
If I may, ma'am.
275
00:11:40,777 --> 00:11:45,225
Our working theory is that Iran
targeted Miller's campaign
276
00:11:45,249 --> 00:11:49,028
because of his aggressively
anti-Iranian positions,
277
00:11:49,052 --> 00:11:52,232
and because he was a harsh critic
278
00:11:52,256 --> 00:11:55,768
of your role in
landing the Iran peace deal.
279
00:11:55,792 --> 00:11:57,243
Okay, now we can panic.
280
00:11:58,795 --> 00:12:02,408
I want to know exactly
what happened, and who
281
00:12:02,432 --> 00:12:04,711
in the Iranian leadership
was responsible. Thank you.
282
00:12:04,735 --> 00:12:07,386
- We're on it.
- You bet, Madam President.
283
00:12:08,438 --> 00:12:11,284
Gather the NSC.
284
00:12:11,308 --> 00:12:13,353
I want CYBERCOM
285
00:12:13,377 --> 00:12:16,395
to draw up severe countermeasures.
286
00:12:18,181 --> 00:12:20,693
If it gets out that Iran tried to tank
287
00:12:20,717 --> 00:12:22,795
your biggest rival's campaign
in order to help you,
288
00:12:22,819 --> 00:12:26,399
it could taint the
legitimacy of your election.
289
00:12:26,423 --> 00:12:30,637
This is much bigger than my election.
290
00:12:30,661 --> 00:12:33,506
Our democracy was attacked
by a foreign power,
291
00:12:33,530 --> 00:12:36,015
and we have to defend it at all costs.
292
00:12:42,139 --> 00:12:49,810
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
293
00:12:54,329 --> 00:12:57,405
Really, the... the AC is up _
294
00:12:57,406 --> 00:12:58,450
full throttle?
295
00:12:58,474 --> 00:12:59,985
Afraid so, ma'am. _
296
00:13:00,009 --> 00:13:01,987
Whew.
297
00:13:02,011 --> 00:13:05,323
Oh, my God. What is that smell?
298
00:13:05,347 --> 00:13:07,626
- Is somebody sick?
- No, no, no, I think
299
00:13:07,650 --> 00:13:10,662
somebody left some, uh,
egg salad on the, uh...
300
00:13:10,686 --> 00:13:12,330
under the seats last night.
301
00:13:12,354 --> 00:13:13,999
They're working on it.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go check.
302
00:13:14,023 --> 00:13:15,901
Here's some good news, ma'am.
303
00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:17,736
I just heard that Sprinkles is going
304
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,538
to name a cupcake after you.
305
00:13:19,562 --> 00:13:22,340
Polls are that bad?
306
00:13:22,364 --> 00:13:23,675
Ma'am?
307
00:13:25,701 --> 00:13:29,281
If the cupcake thing
is the good news...
308
00:13:29,305 --> 00:13:31,683
No, actually, Hubbard dropped
a point or two today.
309
00:13:31,707 --> 00:13:32,851
You held.
310
00:13:32,875 --> 00:13:35,454
So I'm only fourpoints behind Hubbard?
311
00:13:35,478 --> 00:13:36,788
Yes. And Miller's spread
312
00:13:36,812 --> 00:13:39,157
is all over the place,
depending on the poll.
313
00:13:39,181 --> 00:13:41,093
Give me Quinnipiac.
314
00:13:41,117 --> 00:13:42,828
Fourteen.
315
00:13:42,852 --> 00:13:45,764
Geez!
316
00:13:45,788 --> 00:13:48,667
He got that big of a bump
from The View?
317
00:13:48,691 --> 00:13:50,302
- Well, he made salmon tacos. They look good.
- Hello?
318
00:13:50,326 --> 00:13:56,108
Welcome to the best day
of your lives so far.
319
00:13:56,132 --> 00:13:58,810
What is that smell...
it doesn't matter.
320
00:13:58,834 --> 00:13:59,978
It doesn't matter.
321
00:14:00,002 --> 00:14:01,813
I got a tip from my Chronicle guy.
322
00:14:01,837 --> 00:14:03,882
Story breaks tomorrow. Miller...
323
00:14:03,906 --> 00:14:05,750
cheated on his wife
324
00:14:05,774 --> 00:14:07,886
and secretly fathered a child
with one of his staffers.
325
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:09,154
- What? Wow.
- Wait-wait-wait, wait-wait.
326
00:14:09,178 --> 00:14:11,022
Wait, did I say staffers?
Sorry, I meant intern.
327
00:14:11,046 --> 00:14:12,824
- Wow.
- Hey. Is there
328
00:14:12,848 --> 00:14:15,060
more, Mike? Why, yes. Yes, there is.
329
00:14:15,084 --> 00:14:19,698
There is a tape of him making a deal
330
00:14:19,722 --> 00:14:22,367
with his deputy chief of staff
to claim paternity.
331
00:14:22,391 --> 00:14:24,236
Holy crap.
332
00:14:24,260 --> 00:14:26,538
Are you sure?
333
00:14:26,562 --> 00:14:27,906
Above the fold tomorrow.
334
00:14:27,930 --> 00:14:29,374
- This is it for him, right?
- Oh, absolutely.
335
00:14:29,398 --> 00:14:30,742
Now it's just a five-point
spread with Hubbard.
336
00:14:30,766 --> 00:14:32,377
I thought it was four.
337
00:14:32,401 --> 00:14:34,179
The-the point is, it's winnable.
338
00:14:34,203 --> 00:14:35,947
- We're in this thing.
- Sorry. Who do we think leaked this?
339
00:14:35,971 --> 00:14:37,616
Oh, I have no idea,
but I want to kiss them
340
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,817
straight on the mouth.
341
00:14:38,841 --> 00:14:40,352
I never do this, let's do this.
Let's do it.
342
00:14:40,376 --> 00:14:41,520
- No, Mike...
- Bring it up.
343
00:14:41,544 --> 00:14:46,391
No. It's... sad and sordid.
344
00:14:46,415 --> 00:14:49,161
You're right. You're right,
we'll take a moment.
345
00:14:49,185 --> 00:14:50,529
Celebrate when the smell goes away.
346
00:14:50,553 --> 00:14:51,696
Be thinking about VPs.
347
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,738
No more eggs on the bus, people!
348
00:14:55,124 --> 00:14:58,537
So the idea is, you cannot have
high-tech infrastructure
349
00:14:58,561 --> 00:15:01,439
without some serious
science behind it.
350
00:15:01,463 --> 00:15:02,908
And you can't have
the best scientific minds
351
00:15:02,932 --> 00:15:04,409
without education.
352
00:15:04,433 --> 00:15:07,512
Basically, human infrastructure
353
00:15:07,536 --> 00:15:09,881
begets physical infrastructure.
354
00:15:09,905 --> 00:15:12,817
Okay. I got to say,
I rarely hear the word
355
00:15:12,841 --> 00:15:14,352
"begets" outside of the Bible.
356
00:15:14,376 --> 00:15:17,222
Um...
357
00:15:17,246 --> 00:15:20,025
So... so go back. What is
"human infrastructure"?
358
00:15:20,049 --> 00:15:21,526
Do we have to make human pyramids?
359
00:15:21,550 --> 00:15:23,028
Do I have to take iron supplements?
360
00:15:23,052 --> 00:15:25,830
- What is a human...?
- Well, only if your doctor tells you.
361
00:15:25,854 --> 00:15:27,566
I... You are a doctor.
362
00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:29,434
Of-of philosophy.
363
00:15:29,458 --> 00:15:32,137
Uh, and a-a fighter pilot,
uh, an ethics advisor
364
00:15:32,161 --> 00:15:35,173
to former President Dalton,
a religious scholar, an author.
365
00:15:35,197 --> 00:15:37,142
Now you're championing, uh,
366
00:15:37,166 --> 00:15:40,145
arts in education. There's
a word for guys like you:
367
00:15:40,169 --> 00:15:43,081
annoying.
368
00:15:43,105 --> 00:15:46,318
I mean, you're married to the
president, for Pete's sake.
369
00:15:46,342 --> 00:15:48,320
Why can't you just finally retire?
370
00:15:48,344 --> 00:15:50,555
Well, I-I-I can't because
what I really want
371
00:15:50,579 --> 00:15:51,990
is to have my own talk show.
372
00:15:52,014 --> 00:15:53,191
Really?
373
00:15:53,215 --> 00:15:55,026
Really? You might be disappointed,
374
00:15:55,050 --> 00:15:57,662
because here are some words
you rarely hear on a talk show:
375
00:15:57,686 --> 00:16:00,098
"I read your book on St. Francis."
376
00:16:00,122 --> 00:16:02,801
- You're the guy, thank you.
- Yeah,
377
00:16:02,825 --> 00:16:05,136
you're welcome.
I had no idea that St. Frankie
378
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,339
was such a playa. I mean...
379
00:16:07,363 --> 00:16:10,075
The guy... the guy partied.
380
00:16:10,099 --> 00:16:12,911
Yeah, well, once you start
talking to birds, you know...
381
00:16:12,935 --> 00:16:14,412
Yeah.
382
00:16:14,436 --> 00:16:16,848
This is funnier if you're
Catholic, by the way.
383
00:16:18,274 --> 00:16:19,985
I-I thought you were gonna say
384
00:16:20,009 --> 00:16:22,420
- it's funnier if you're a nerd.
- That, too.
385
00:16:22,444 --> 00:16:23,788
Okay, so, uh...
386
00:16:23,812 --> 00:16:26,091
you're pretty busy.
I happen to know, uh,
387
00:16:26,115 --> 00:16:29,761
your wife, uh, has a few
obligations of her own.
388
00:16:29,785 --> 00:16:33,031
How do the two of you manage
to make time to see each other?
389
00:16:33,055 --> 00:16:34,899
Well... you know, it's tough.
390
00:16:34,923 --> 00:16:38,069
And sometimes it feels like we
can go weeks without,
391
00:16:38,093 --> 00:16:40,394
- you know...
- Oh, I know. Yeah.
392
00:16:40,395 --> 00:16:41,640
No...
393
00:16:41,664 --> 00:16:43,041
- Oh. Oh, boy.
- Really? Weeks?
394
00:16:43,065 --> 00:16:44,943
- Wow. No.
- Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
395
00:16:46,535 --> 00:16:47,879
Seriously, though, uh...
396
00:16:49,605 --> 00:16:52,284
Cohabitating with
the first female president,
397
00:16:52,308 --> 00:16:54,519
uh, I mean, she's off
on Air Force One all the time;
398
00:16:54,543 --> 00:16:57,722
that makes the White House
your personal man cave.
399
00:16:57,746 --> 00:16:58,857
So, we wanted to help you out.
400
00:16:58,881 --> 00:17:01,159
We-we got... we got you a present.
401
00:17:01,183 --> 00:17:03,328
Here-here you go.
402
00:17:03,352 --> 00:17:05,230
- There it is. We got you...
- Oh, wow.
403
00:17:06,855 --> 00:17:09,701
- Wow.
- We got you your own...
404
00:17:09,725 --> 00:17:11,603
We got that...
405
00:17:11,627 --> 00:17:15,206
Your-your own FGOTUS beer helmet.
406
00:17:15,230 --> 00:17:16,675
Oh, that's just what I need, yeah.
407
00:17:16,699 --> 00:17:19,644
Uh, now if you... if you
push, uh, the button...
408
00:17:22,204 --> 00:17:24,349
There you go, see? Classy.
409
00:17:24,373 --> 00:17:25,750
There you go. We also...
410
00:17:27,776 --> 00:17:31,089
You should know...
411
00:17:31,113 --> 00:17:32,757
we also made...
412
00:17:32,781 --> 00:17:34,225
we also made a nuclear version,
413
00:17:34,249 --> 00:17:35,994
but you can only push the button once.
414
00:17:36,018 --> 00:17:37,929
There you go. First Gentleman
415
00:17:37,953 --> 00:17:41,366
of these United States,
Dr. Henry McCord, everybody.
416
00:17:41,390 --> 00:17:44,202
Give it up for the FGOTUS!
417
00:17:44,226 --> 00:17:47,439
We'll be right back.
418
00:17:47,463 --> 00:17:48,880
Thank you, sir.
419
00:17:50,599 --> 00:17:52,277
Whoo!
420
00:17:52,301 --> 00:17:54,312
Attack option one: A DoS strike
421
00:17:54,336 --> 00:17:56,414
shutting down
Iranian government websites
422
00:17:56,438 --> 00:17:58,249
and disabling the civilian Internet.
423
00:17:58,273 --> 00:18:02,120
Option two: Knock out the power grid.
424
00:18:02,144 --> 00:18:06,224
And all comms, radio,
phone and satellite.
425
00:18:06,248 --> 00:18:10,695
Option three: A direct attack
on the Revolutionary Guard.
426
00:18:10,719 --> 00:18:13,064
We fry every piece
of military hardware
427
00:18:13,088 --> 00:18:14,165
with a data connection.
428
00:18:14,189 --> 00:18:16,601
From SRBMs to main battle tanks.
429
00:18:16,625 --> 00:18:18,976
Any of these would send
a clear message.
430
00:18:21,397 --> 00:18:23,074
Prepare to execute all three.
431
00:18:23,098 --> 00:18:24,876
Yes, ma'am.
432
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:26,644
Susan, I want to follow
433
00:18:26,668 --> 00:18:28,213
with sanctions that go right
up to the line of what
434
00:18:28,237 --> 00:18:29,881
we can do given the peace deal.
435
00:18:29,905 --> 00:18:32,189
I'll have a plan on
your desk in two hours.
436
00:18:35,344 --> 00:18:39,824
If I were to declassify all of this...
437
00:18:39,848 --> 00:18:43,828
would there be any operational risks?
438
00:18:43,852 --> 00:18:45,497
Mossad says it was a pure hack.
439
00:18:45,521 --> 00:18:47,766
No human assets in play.
440
00:18:47,790 --> 00:18:50,207
The Israelis are good
with declassifying.
441
00:18:52,161 --> 00:18:53,505
Thank you, everyone.
442
00:18:53,529 --> 00:18:55,486
Thank you, Madam President.
443
00:18:55,487 --> 00:18:57,823
Brief Daisy. I'm holding a
press conference in an hour.
444
00:18:57,847 --> 00:18:58,867
Let's just take a beat.
445
00:18:58,891 --> 00:19:01,536
- No. No political considerations.
- This could kill the ESI bill,
446
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,404
hobble your administration
before it's out of the gate.
447
00:19:03,428 --> 00:19:06,307
- The American people deserve to know, Mike.
- And they will.
448
00:19:06,331 --> 00:19:08,282
Just give it a few days.
Get ESI on the books.
449
00:19:09,635 --> 00:19:11,619
Brief Daisy now.
450
00:19:24,783 --> 00:19:27,395
Good afternoon.
451
00:19:27,419 --> 00:19:30,732
Earlier today, I received
an intelligence briefing
452
00:19:30,756 --> 00:19:32,634
about the discovery of a hack
453
00:19:32,658 --> 00:19:34,469
by the government of Iran last year
454
00:19:34,493 --> 00:19:37,972
that resulted
in confidential information
455
00:19:37,996 --> 00:19:40,375
about Senator Beauregard Miller
being leaked
456
00:19:40,399 --> 00:19:43,211
during the presidential campaign.
457
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,211
And that's why
on my first day in office,
458
00:19:51,235 --> 00:19:53,920
I will bring Congress my education,
459
00:19:53,921 --> 00:19:56,400
science and infrastructure plan.
460
00:19:56,424 --> 00:19:58,468
So please join me. _
461
00:19:58,492 --> 00:20:02,339
And let's get it done, America.
462
00:20:02,363 --> 00:20:05,609
Thank you so much. Thank you, everybody.
463
00:20:11,038 --> 00:20:15,619
Ugh, these ribs are so good,
I might have to move here.
464
00:20:15,643 --> 00:20:17,327
It may not be a problem.
465
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,191
What now, Chicken Little?
466
00:20:21,215 --> 00:20:23,694
The scandal didn't
hurt Miller in the polls.
467
00:20:23,718 --> 00:20:25,696
He could eat a baby
on national television,
468
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,030
and his base wouldn't care
469
00:20:27,054 --> 00:20:29,967
- as long as he panders to their fears.
- Well,
470
00:20:29,991 --> 00:20:32,603
- I've been thinking about a major speech.
- On what?
471
00:20:32,627 --> 00:20:34,972
Your opponent knocking up interns?
472
00:20:34,996 --> 00:20:36,813
Unity.
473
00:20:41,335 --> 00:20:43,280
I'm telling you,
it's what people want.
474
00:20:43,304 --> 00:20:44,705
It's what they're yearning
for, more than anything.
475
00:20:44,729 --> 00:20:45,406
No,
476
00:20:45,407 --> 00:20:46,917
it's what they say
they're yearning for,
477
00:20:46,941 --> 00:20:48,752
but really, they just want to
bash each other's heads in.
478
00:20:48,776 --> 00:20:50,703
Do a speech on that. It might
actually be a crowd-pleaser.
479
00:20:50,727 --> 00:20:51,388
Oh, my God.
480
00:20:51,412 --> 00:20:53,523
- The mac and cheese...
- Okay, I'm glad you're enjoying your lunch,
481
00:20:53,547 --> 00:20:56,393
- but we need to talk VPs.
- Oh! I've been thinking about that, too.
482
00:20:56,417 --> 00:20:58,395
Me, too. Todd Everlane,
483
00:20:58,419 --> 00:21:01,632
progressive young mayor
of Austin is trending.
484
00:21:01,656 --> 00:21:02,883
Gets the youth vote and
whatever, but also Texas.
485
00:21:02,907 --> 00:21:03,829
Yeah.
486
00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:06,770
Susan Thompson,
strong in foreign relations,
487
00:21:06,794 --> 00:21:08,872
uh, making a name for herself
at the State Department.
488
00:21:08,896 --> 00:21:10,140
- You like her.
- Yeah. I love her.
489
00:21:10,164 --> 00:21:11,308
Okay.
490
00:21:11,332 --> 00:21:14,050
I was thinking Carlos Morejon.
491
00:21:16,504 --> 00:21:17,948
You were thinking that
right about the time
492
00:21:17,972 --> 00:21:19,255
the gummies kicked in?
493
00:21:21,008 --> 00:21:22,986
Why is it crazy?
494
00:21:23,010 --> 00:21:24,421
Because he would
never leave his party.
495
00:21:24,445 --> 00:21:26,189
- He wouldn't have to.
- And you guys are on the opposite sides
496
00:21:26,213 --> 00:21:27,691
of, I don't know, everything?
497
00:21:27,715 --> 00:21:30,093
- Not everything. We...
- I-I also have it on really good authority
498
00:21:30,117 --> 00:21:32,095
that he's on the top
of Miller's shortlist for VP,
499
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,264
like, the tippy-top.
500
00:21:34,288 --> 00:21:36,673
No.
501
00:21:37,625 --> 00:21:38,769
Carlos is principled.
502
00:21:38,793 --> 00:21:40,103
- He'd never do it.
- That's adorable.
503
00:21:40,127 --> 00:21:42,506
But nobody says no.
They all act like they will,
504
00:21:42,530 --> 00:21:45,942
but no politician's ego ever met
a principle it couldn't crush.
505
00:21:45,966 --> 00:21:47,577
Which is why I'm already
gathering oppo
506
00:21:47,601 --> 00:21:49,246
to wound Morejon
before they can even announce.
507
00:21:49,270 --> 00:21:50,414
We just have to hope it's enough,
508
00:21:50,438 --> 00:21:52,889
and that's way too much
mac and cheese.
509
00:21:57,812 --> 00:21:59,289
...that an attack by a foreign power
510
00:21:59,313 --> 00:22:01,758
threw the election in her favor.
511
00:22:01,782 --> 00:22:04,094
She spent years improving
diplomatic relations
512
00:22:04,118 --> 00:22:06,697
with a sworn enemy
of the United States.
513
00:22:06,721 --> 00:22:10,033
This was a direct attack
on our democracy.
514
00:22:10,057 --> 00:22:13,136
Those responsible
must be held accountable,
515
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,807
even if they reside
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
516
00:22:16,831 --> 00:22:20,277
For the sake of the nation,
we will leave no stone unturned
517
00:22:20,301 --> 00:22:22,946
in our investigation
into President McCord's campaign
518
00:22:22,970 --> 00:22:27,417
for any sign of collusion
with the Iranian regime.
519
00:22:27,441 --> 00:22:28,885
Hey, here's a neat feature.
520
00:22:28,909 --> 00:22:30,520
Oh.
521
00:22:30,544 --> 00:22:33,290
I can't believe Mike
was right about this.
522
00:22:33,314 --> 00:22:36,760
We shouldn't have had
that press conference.
523
00:22:36,784 --> 00:22:39,396
I didn't think that people
would be willing to use this
524
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:41,965
as a pretext to go after us.
525
00:22:41,989 --> 00:22:45,402
Mike's trying to find a way
around this investigation,
526
00:22:45,426 --> 00:22:48,171
but I think that we should
fully cooperate, don't you?
527
00:22:48,195 --> 00:22:51,341
- I think that if...
- I mean, we have nothing to hide.
528
00:22:51,365 --> 00:22:52,609
And I don't want to give
529
00:22:52,633 --> 00:22:55,612
even the slightest
appearance of a cover-up.
530
00:22:55,636 --> 00:22:58,648
- True, but if you...
- Right? How do you win a fight
531
00:22:58,672 --> 00:23:01,218
where your opponent is willing
to hit below the belt
532
00:23:01,242 --> 00:23:03,887
and you're not?
533
00:23:07,381 --> 00:23:08,998
Henry?
534
00:23:10,217 --> 00:23:11,862
Oh, you're really asking?
535
00:23:11,886 --> 00:23:13,630
Yeah.
536
00:23:13,654 --> 00:23:15,298
Get out of the ring.
537
00:23:15,322 --> 00:23:17,868
Focus on the fight that
you really care about.
538
00:23:17,892 --> 00:23:19,636
- The ESI bill.
- Yes.
539
00:23:19,660 --> 00:23:21,471
Don't let anyone distract your team
540
00:23:21,495 --> 00:23:24,007
from getting it over the finish line.
541
00:23:24,031 --> 00:23:26,910
Well, now this investigation
is providing enough cloud cover
542
00:23:26,934 --> 00:23:28,612
for some senators to waver.
543
00:23:28,636 --> 00:23:30,280
It's gonna be tight.
544
00:23:30,304 --> 00:23:33,116
All the more reason to stay on point.
545
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:36,119
Give the public something else
to talk about.
546
00:23:36,143 --> 00:23:39,389
Yeah. Maybe they'll be too busy
talking about our sex life.
547
00:23:39,413 --> 00:23:40,857
Okay.
548
00:23:40,881 --> 00:23:45,061
That is so not what I said.
549
00:23:45,085 --> 00:23:48,532
Colbert jumped on a moment
and he twisted it around...
550
00:23:48,556 --> 00:23:49,866
Trust me, I know.
551
00:23:49,890 --> 00:23:51,802
But you did hesitate.
552
00:23:51,826 --> 00:23:53,303
I was thinking.
553
00:23:53,327 --> 00:23:56,139
About how we did have more
sex before the election?
554
00:23:56,163 --> 00:23:59,342
We've had plenty of post-election sex.
555
00:23:59,366 --> 00:24:01,311
Are we losing steam?
556
00:24:01,335 --> 00:24:02,479
No. We've got steam.
557
00:24:02,503 --> 00:24:04,881
We have... w-we've got plenty
of steam.
558
00:24:04,905 --> 00:24:06,489
We're fine.
559
00:24:07,441 --> 00:24:09,085
Is there maybe a power imbalance?
560
00:24:09,109 --> 00:24:13,190
Like, you can't take charge
with your commander in chief?
561
00:24:13,214 --> 00:24:15,358
I mean, on some subtle,
562
00:24:15,382 --> 00:24:16,860
psychological level.
563
00:24:16,884 --> 00:24:20,770
My subtle psyche can boss
yours around any day.
564
00:24:24,525 --> 00:24:27,276
I find it sexy
that you're my commander.
565
00:24:30,097 --> 00:24:32,181
Please tell me what to say.
566
00:24:40,541 --> 00:24:43,520
Senate intelligence
committee chairman Mark Hanson
567
00:24:43,544 --> 00:24:45,222
has officially opened an investigation
568
00:24:45,246 --> 00:24:47,557
into the McCord campaign.
569
00:24:47,581 --> 00:24:48,992
Good morning.
570
00:24:49,016 --> 00:24:51,628
Not for your legislative agenda.
The Iran scandal's blowing up.
571
00:24:51,652 --> 00:24:54,297
You know, even Nixon
572
00:24:54,321 --> 00:24:57,033
accomplished lots of big
stuff during Watergate.
573
00:24:57,057 --> 00:24:59,882
Title IX, opening China,
creating the EPA.
574
00:24:59,906 --> 00:25:01,605
Yeah, but all anyone
remembers is Watergate.
575
00:25:01,629 --> 00:25:02,939
All right, Nixon's not
the best example,
576
00:25:02,963 --> 00:25:04,407
but why am I worried
about your feelings?
577
00:25:04,431 --> 00:25:06,142
I don't know, maybe because
you made me take a job
578
00:25:06,166 --> 00:25:07,644
I didn't want, and now
I'm managing a crisis
579
00:25:07,668 --> 00:25:08,812
I told you not to create,
580
00:25:08,836 --> 00:25:10,747
and if ESI gets flushed as a result,
581
00:25:10,771 --> 00:25:13,450
every dinner party I attend for
the rest of my natural life,
582
00:25:13,474 --> 00:25:14,818
I'm gonna have to hear theories
583
00:25:14,842 --> 00:25:17,053
about how I should've
saved your presidency
584
00:25:17,077 --> 00:25:20,023
over a scandal that never
should have happened.
585
00:25:20,047 --> 00:25:21,691
Feel better?
586
00:25:21,715 --> 00:25:23,026
Little bit.
587
00:25:23,050 --> 00:25:26,029
Good. Because we are getting ESI done.
588
00:25:26,053 --> 00:25:28,031
I want you to make me appointments
589
00:25:28,055 --> 00:25:30,133
- with all the undecided senators. I...
- No, no, no.
590
00:25:30,157 --> 00:25:33,236
POTUS gives marching orders,
POTUS doesn't march.
591
00:25:33,260 --> 00:25:34,404
When the president shows up
at your door,
592
00:25:34,428 --> 00:25:35,739
that is the nuclear option.
593
00:25:35,763 --> 00:25:37,407
It shouldn't be used lightly.
594
00:25:37,431 --> 00:25:39,409
Okay. How about this idea?
595
00:25:39,433 --> 00:25:41,511
- Okay.
- I was thinking
596
00:25:41,535 --> 00:25:46,182
about leaning on tech CEOs from
states with wavering senators,
597
00:25:46,206 --> 00:25:47,684
- That I like. Yes.
- That I can...
598
00:25:47,708 --> 00:25:49,252
- Madam President, excuse me.
- Yeah.
599
00:25:49,276 --> 00:25:50,787
This was Senator Miller
five minutes ago.
600
00:25:50,811 --> 00:25:52,689
Now we know why I lost the election.
601
00:25:52,713 --> 00:25:56,192
Because Elizabeth McCord
colluded with the Iranians
602
00:25:56,216 --> 00:25:58,361
to sabotage my campaign.
603
00:25:58,385 --> 00:26:02,532
Her election is illegitimate
and so is her presidency.
604
00:26:02,556 --> 00:26:04,034
I support my colleague
605
00:26:04,058 --> 00:26:07,037
Chairman Hanson's
righteous investigation
606
00:26:07,061 --> 00:26:09,773
into this grievous matter.
607
00:26:09,797 --> 00:26:11,274
If he were any more
righteously grievous,
608
00:26:11,298 --> 00:26:13,276
- his hair would catch fire.
- This just put
609
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:14,444
the scandal on steroids.
610
00:26:14,468 --> 00:26:15,946
Look, as long as he's with us
611
00:26:15,970 --> 00:26:18,448
on ESI, Miller can call me
a war criminal.
612
00:26:18,472 --> 00:26:20,690
No distractions.
Let's get to work, okay?
613
00:26:24,516 --> 00:26:26,316
_
614
00:26:34,316 --> 00:26:36,895
Interesting place to meet.
615
00:26:36,919 --> 00:26:38,396
Well, thought it might be best
616
00:26:38,420 --> 00:26:40,131
to do this privately.
617
00:26:40,155 --> 00:26:42,066
I appreciate that, I guess.
618
00:26:42,090 --> 00:26:43,568
I hear you're considering
619
00:26:43,592 --> 00:26:45,770
joining Miller's ticket.
620
00:26:45,794 --> 00:26:48,012
Considering. He has not asked.
621
00:26:49,998 --> 00:26:51,643
Miller?
622
00:26:51,667 --> 00:26:54,312
He rode a wave of nationalist bullpucky,
623
00:26:54,336 --> 00:26:57,048
picking up right
where Callister left off,
624
00:26:57,072 --> 00:27:02,387
with his disgusting attacks
on migrants, the media.
625
00:27:02,411 --> 00:27:05,323
He's not fit
626
00:27:05,347 --> 00:27:06,658
to be president.
627
00:27:06,682 --> 00:27:08,762
- He won the nomination.
- That doesn't mean
628
00:27:08,786 --> 00:27:10,764
that honorable people
should get behind him
629
00:27:10,788 --> 00:27:13,233
and validate his worst impulses.
630
00:27:13,257 --> 00:27:16,036
I get on that ticket,
I can mitigate those impulses.
631
00:27:16,060 --> 00:27:19,039
I can be the adult in the room.
It's my way
632
00:27:19,063 --> 00:27:21,208
- of serving.
- That's the bar?
633
00:27:21,232 --> 00:27:26,052
Serving by keeping
an unfit president in line?
634
00:27:27,438 --> 00:27:29,249
Come on, Carlos.
635
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:32,926
Wouldn't you rather be on
a ticket you really believe in?
636
00:27:34,512 --> 00:27:36,490
What are you talking about?
637
00:27:36,514 --> 00:27:40,066
I want you to be my vice president.
638
00:27:41,018 --> 00:27:42,836
You must be joking.
639
00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:45,632
I'm not.
640
00:27:45,656 --> 00:27:48,435
My position on immigration alone
would make it unt...
641
00:27:48,459 --> 00:27:51,138
We worked together on immigration.
642
00:27:51,162 --> 00:27:52,773
That was an extreme circumstance.
643
00:27:52,797 --> 00:27:54,041
Land mines.
644
00:27:54,065 --> 00:27:56,276
You discovered
that I have a soft spot in me
645
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:58,111
- when it comes to children.
- You also broke
646
00:27:58,135 --> 00:28:00,814
with Callister to support
the sanctions on Poland.
647
00:28:00,838 --> 00:28:03,150
No. No.
648
00:28:03,174 --> 00:28:05,319
This would not work. This is crazy.
649
00:28:05,343 --> 00:28:06,787
Why?
650
00:28:06,811 --> 00:28:09,796
You and I have more in common
than you and Miller.
651
00:28:11,582 --> 00:28:15,662
His politics will divide
this country even further.
652
00:28:15,686 --> 00:28:19,299
But you and I can show America
that people can disagree
653
00:28:19,323 --> 00:28:22,970
and still work together
and get things done.
654
00:28:22,994 --> 00:28:25,005
I'd never give up being a Republican.
655
00:28:25,029 --> 00:28:26,573
I'd never ask you to.
656
00:28:26,597 --> 00:28:29,142
I wouldn't support
all of your policies.
657
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:31,678
All I'd ask is that you hear me out.
658
00:28:31,702 --> 00:28:33,647
And I'd do the same with you.
659
00:28:33,671 --> 00:28:36,316
And when we disagree?
660
00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:37,885
You'll never have to publicly support
661
00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:39,553
a policy you don't believe in.
662
00:28:39,577 --> 00:28:42,762
As long as you don't
publicly disagree, either.
663
00:28:44,982 --> 00:28:49,129
Look, I-I'm truly honored
664
00:28:49,153 --> 00:28:51,798
for this offer, Elizabeth,
665
00:28:51,822 --> 00:28:54,801
but no matter how you spin this,
666
00:28:54,825 --> 00:28:57,177
I would still be abandoning my party.
667
00:28:59,297 --> 00:29:02,776
No, I appreciate the courage
668
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,786
that it took you to ask me,
but I'm not that courageous.
669
00:29:14,979 --> 00:29:17,124
Good luck out there.
670
00:29:17,148 --> 00:29:18,959
You, too.
671
00:29:18,983 --> 00:29:20,400
Yeah.
672
00:29:25,289 --> 00:29:27,034
All I ask is that you lean
673
00:29:27,058 --> 00:29:29,342
on Senator Sheehan, Zack.
674
00:29:31,262 --> 00:29:33,974
Okay, thanks for your time.
675
00:29:33,998 --> 00:29:35,475
Who's next?
676
00:29:35,499 --> 00:29:36,777
Ma'am, General Kohl wants you to know
677
00:29:36,801 --> 00:29:39,219
the countermeasures
against Iran have begun.
678
00:29:40,471 --> 00:29:42,115
Tell him I want a progress
report in an hour.
679
00:29:42,139 --> 00:29:44,451
- Yes, ma'am.
- Sixty.
680
00:29:44,475 --> 00:29:46,855
- We got to 60.
- What? Wait. How?
681
00:29:46,856 --> 00:29:48,822
Son of a bitch Girardi came
around after getting beaten
682
00:29:48,846 --> 00:29:51,158
like a redheaded stepchild
by Kristi Daniels.
683
00:29:51,182 --> 00:29:55,562
Not an hour after you talked to
her, she threatened to pull LCD
684
00:29:55,586 --> 00:29:57,264
and battery production out of Florida.
685
00:29:57,288 --> 00:29:59,166
Boom!
686
00:29:59,190 --> 00:30:01,001
Mmm.
687
00:30:01,025 --> 00:30:03,603
Doesn't this make you want to
just stay being chief of staff?
688
00:30:03,627 --> 00:30:05,505
Have you no shame, Madam President?
689
00:30:05,529 --> 00:30:06,840
- No.
- It's a big deal, Bess.
690
00:30:06,864 --> 00:30:08,475
- I know.
- Especially with all the Iran noise.
691
00:30:08,499 --> 00:30:10,811
- I know.
- Mmm.
692
00:30:10,835 --> 00:30:12,919
Thanks, Mike.
693
00:30:18,209 --> 00:30:20,921
Hey. This is a surprise.
694
00:30:20,945 --> 00:30:23,523
I've got 15 minutes
till my next meeting.
695
00:30:23,547 --> 00:30:25,965
Yeah, I got ten.
696
00:30:27,051 --> 00:30:29,029
I love this jacket.
697
00:30:29,053 --> 00:30:32,332
Oh, well, it's a two-button
basket weave wool,
698
00:30:32,356 --> 00:30:34,101
which is very versatile.
699
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:35,769
Are you mad at me about Roxanne?
700
00:30:35,793 --> 00:30:37,104
I just thought she had
some neat ideas,
701
00:30:37,128 --> 00:30:40,474
and y-you can always say no.
702
00:30:40,498 --> 00:30:42,476
But you do look good.
703
00:30:42,500 --> 00:30:44,417
How good?
704
00:30:47,071 --> 00:30:49,049
Follow me, FGOTUS.
705
00:30:49,073 --> 00:30:51,157
Yes, ma'am.
706
00:30:57,415 --> 00:30:59,893
Well, I hope that was fun,
because the good times are over.
707
00:30:59,917 --> 00:31:01,061
I was gone, like, ten minutes.
708
00:31:01,085 --> 00:31:03,296
Miller's threatening
to withdraw his support.
709
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,498
That leaves us with 59 votes.
710
00:31:04,522 --> 00:31:06,099
And with that stupid
investigation going on,
711
00:31:06,123 --> 00:31:07,342
the lack of his vote
looks like retribution.
712
00:31:07,366 --> 00:31:08,117
Okay. I'll get into it.
713
00:31:08,118 --> 00:31:09,536
- No, I'm on it, I'm on it.
- No.
714
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,171
- I have to do this myself.
- Madam President, I really wouldn't. I...
715
00:31:11,195 --> 00:31:13,707
I know. I'm supposed to give the
marching orders and not march,
716
00:31:13,731 --> 00:31:15,742
I go that, and I've been doing it,
717
00:31:15,766 --> 00:31:18,019
but now it is time for the
nuclear option. I'm not...
718
00:31:18,043 --> 00:31:20,154
I don't disagree, it's your
shirt's on inside out.
719
00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:22,783
I'm...
720
00:31:22,807 --> 00:31:24,117
I'll call the motorcade.
721
00:31:24,141 --> 00:31:26,226
Thank you.
722
00:31:28,556 --> 00:31:30,959
Valerie Guillen,
the reporter at The Chronicle
723
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,386
who originally broke
the Senator Miller scandal
724
00:31:33,387 --> 00:31:35,365
is refusing to give up her source,
725
00:31:35,389 --> 00:31:37,634
- but she denies receiving...
- Senator Miller,
726
00:31:37,658 --> 00:31:39,536
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
The president just...
727
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,704
Senator.
728
00:31:40,728 --> 00:31:43,206
- Got a minute?
- Oh.
729
00:31:43,230 --> 00:31:44,808
Madam President. Of course.
730
00:31:44,832 --> 00:31:46,872
...ever since President McCord's
press conference...
731
00:31:47,334 --> 00:31:49,713
Four TVs. Thorough.
732
00:31:49,737 --> 00:31:52,382
I like to stay on top
of current events.
733
00:31:52,406 --> 00:31:55,385
- Yeah.
- Ma'am,
734
00:31:55,409 --> 00:31:57,954
would it be wrong to tell you
how ravishing you look?
735
00:31:57,978 --> 00:32:00,681
You mean because I'm your president,
736
00:32:00,682 --> 00:32:02,160
or because it's creepy?
737
00:32:02,184 --> 00:32:04,462
Well, I just want
to get a good look at you
738
00:32:04,486 --> 00:32:07,365
because the Oval Office ages you,
739
00:32:07,389 --> 00:32:11,068
especially with that
whole Iran business.
740
00:32:11,092 --> 00:32:13,171
You won't look the same
come next year.
741
00:32:13,195 --> 00:32:14,672
I got to give you credit.
742
00:32:14,696 --> 00:32:18,342
You are just as vulgar in
private as you are in public.
743
00:32:18,366 --> 00:32:21,012
Why are you here, ma'am?
744
00:32:21,036 --> 00:32:23,614
I need your vote on ESI.
745
00:32:23,638 --> 00:32:25,483
There are 40 other senators
746
00:32:25,507 --> 00:32:27,718
that you could be begging
to flip their vote,
747
00:32:27,742 --> 00:32:29,320
and you chose me?
748
00:32:29,344 --> 00:32:31,589
Those 40 others are opposed
for ideological reasons.
749
00:32:31,613 --> 00:32:33,558
You supported the bill
up until an hour ago.
750
00:32:33,582 --> 00:32:38,362
And you expect me
to be your white knight
751
00:32:38,386 --> 00:32:41,165
when your administration's
under a cloud.
752
00:32:41,189 --> 00:32:43,701
You must be pretty desperate, ma'am.
753
00:32:43,725 --> 00:32:47,338
Prostrating yourself
instead of dispatching
754
00:32:47,362 --> 00:32:49,273
your little pit bull, Barnow,
755
00:32:49,297 --> 00:32:52,276
like you did to get
the Iran deal done.
756
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:54,679
Losing hurts, doesn't it?
757
00:32:54,703 --> 00:32:56,881
You accused me of collusion with Iran.
758
00:32:56,905 --> 00:33:00,251
I wanted to tell you
face-to-face, that's not true.
759
00:33:00,275 --> 00:33:03,321
Well, forgive me if I'd rather wait
760
00:33:03,345 --> 00:33:05,022
for the results of the investigation.
761
00:33:05,046 --> 00:33:07,592
I know you've been cozy with Iran
762
00:33:07,616 --> 00:33:09,160
for years.
763
00:33:09,184 --> 00:33:11,996
Sometimes I wonder
just how cozy you got
764
00:33:12,020 --> 00:33:13,898
with Minister Javani.
765
00:33:13,922 --> 00:33:16,501
God, how low can you go?
766
00:33:16,525 --> 00:33:19,837
The lies you've been spewing
about that deal these past years
767
00:33:19,861 --> 00:33:22,039
have done nothing
for American security...
768
00:33:22,063 --> 00:33:23,541
- I resent that, Madam.
- Too bad.
769
00:33:23,565 --> 00:33:26,143
Get your facts straight.
770
00:33:26,167 --> 00:33:28,412
Now, I'm not here
to relitigate that deal.
771
00:33:28,436 --> 00:33:30,047
What do you want?
772
00:33:30,071 --> 00:33:32,056
My reputation back!
773
00:33:33,942 --> 00:33:35,786
Committee assignments.
774
00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:38,155
That's up to your party.
775
00:33:38,179 --> 00:33:41,759
I want to be right by your
side for the bill signing,
776
00:33:41,783 --> 00:33:43,394
and I want to be the first person
777
00:33:43,418 --> 00:33:44,629
whose hand you shake and thank,
778
00:33:44,653 --> 00:33:47,231
and then I want you to personally
779
00:33:47,255 --> 00:33:49,567
lobby Ramirez and Hopkins
780
00:33:49,591 --> 00:33:51,842
to restore my committee assignments.
781
00:33:54,829 --> 00:33:57,174
Well done, Madam President.
782
00:33:57,198 --> 00:33:58,743
That's how the sausage gets made.
783
00:33:58,767 --> 00:34:01,445
Enough to make me want
to go full-on vegan.
784
00:34:01,469 --> 00:34:03,514
You got it done.
Next order of business,
785
00:34:03,538 --> 00:34:06,017
updated shortlist of the
new chief of staff options.
786
00:34:06,041 --> 00:34:08,586
Who do you like?
787
00:34:08,610 --> 00:34:10,888
I like this.
788
00:34:10,912 --> 00:34:14,225
I-I don't want to break in anyone new.
789
00:34:14,249 --> 00:34:16,227
Tell that to Jay.
790
00:34:16,251 --> 00:34:18,869
- You got to let that go.
- If you will let me go.
791
00:34:27,228 --> 00:34:30,875
Ever since Gordon died,
I've been reevaluating things.
792
00:34:30,899 --> 00:34:35,479
He was the only totally pure
and honest part of my life,
793
00:34:35,503 --> 00:34:37,281
which, being in D.C.,
isn't saying much,
794
00:34:37,305 --> 00:34:38,983
but still.
795
00:34:39,007 --> 00:34:41,218
I just accepted him for who he was.
796
00:34:41,242 --> 00:34:43,921
If he... if he took a crap
on my bath mat
797
00:34:43,945 --> 00:34:46,691
or tried to hump
the golden across the street,
798
00:34:46,715 --> 00:34:49,927
I just, I always knew
he was being true to himself,
799
00:34:49,951 --> 00:34:52,035
in the moment.
800
00:34:55,256 --> 00:34:58,442
It was his most profound gift to me.
801
00:35:01,396 --> 00:35:04,041
A lesson in how to live,
802
00:35:04,065 --> 00:35:06,450
and I'm-I'm trying to honor that.
803
00:35:08,536 --> 00:35:10,281
Look, I would...
804
00:35:10,305 --> 00:35:12,583
I would stand in front of a
bullet train for you, Bess,
805
00:35:12,607 --> 00:35:15,019
which I can now
806
00:35:15,043 --> 00:35:18,756
with the infrastructure part
of the ESI bill,
807
00:35:18,780 --> 00:35:21,765
but I have to trust my gut on this.
808
00:35:24,819 --> 00:35:27,832
Okay, I'll stop begging.
809
00:35:27,856 --> 00:35:29,940
Thank you.
810
00:35:34,129 --> 00:35:37,541
Aren't you gonna miss this office?
811
00:35:37,565 --> 00:35:39,176
Oh, I'm not giving this up.
812
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,518
The new guy can get another one.
I was here first.
813
00:35:43,605 --> 00:35:45,249
What?
814
00:35:45,273 --> 00:35:48,826
You just made me realize
who I want to replace you.
815
00:36:05,493 --> 00:36:08,846
Congrats on your first victory
with the ESI bill.
816
00:36:10,799 --> 00:36:12,376
You get two more, tops,
817
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,712
and that's if this Iran investigation
818
00:36:14,736 --> 00:36:16,247
doesn't cripple you.
819
00:36:16,271 --> 00:36:18,215
It's good to see you, too, Russell.
820
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,217
Lawn looks nice.
821
00:36:20,241 --> 00:36:23,788
Yeah. Carol fired the gardener
822
00:36:23,812 --> 00:36:26,090
so I'd have something relaxing to do.
823
00:36:26,114 --> 00:36:30,227
It's supposed to be Zen or something.
824
00:36:30,251 --> 00:36:32,663
Nobody tells you about weeds.
825
00:36:32,687 --> 00:36:34,665
Do you realize what a
pain in the ass they are?
826
00:36:34,689 --> 00:36:37,568
They never stop.
They're like lobbyists.
827
00:36:37,592 --> 00:36:39,904
Well, then, I'll get
right to the point.
828
00:36:39,928 --> 00:36:42,840
I'm sorry to drop in unannounced
829
00:36:42,864 --> 00:36:45,242
but I knew that if I
gave you a heads-up
830
00:36:45,266 --> 00:36:48,079
then Carol would run interference.
831
00:36:48,103 --> 00:36:49,980
Oh.
832
00:36:50,004 --> 00:36:52,717
You want me
to do something... stressful.
833
00:36:52,741 --> 00:36:54,752
Just temporarily.
834
00:36:54,776 --> 00:36:58,022
I want you to step in
as my chief of staff
835
00:36:58,046 --> 00:37:00,024
for a transition period.
836
00:37:00,048 --> 00:37:02,493
I know you've already
given eight years
837
00:37:02,517 --> 00:37:05,796
of this job to Dalton,
and you may be over it,
838
00:37:05,820 --> 00:37:09,233
but this moment
in time is going to determine
839
00:37:09,257 --> 00:37:11,702
how effective I am going forward,
840
00:37:11,726 --> 00:37:13,804
and...
841
00:37:13,828 --> 00:37:15,806
I really need you.
842
00:37:15,830 --> 00:37:18,776
Don't answer,
because I-I... I know you got
843
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:23,253
to talk it over with Carol,
and if it's "no," I understand.
844
00:37:24,539 --> 00:37:26,623
I had to ask.
845
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:40,698
Carol?!
846
00:37:40,722 --> 00:37:42,806
Call the gardener!
847
00:37:44,726 --> 00:37:46,737
I also need to thank
848
00:37:46,761 --> 00:37:48,873
Senator Beauregard Miller
849
00:37:48,897 --> 00:37:52,476
whose decisive vote
made this day possible. _
850
00:37:52,500 --> 00:37:54,078
Senator,
851
00:37:54,102 --> 00:37:56,680
your bold leadership
852
00:37:56,704 --> 00:37:58,682
on this historic bill
853
00:37:58,706 --> 00:38:00,684
will always be remembered.
854
00:38:00,708 --> 00:38:02,753
Thank you, and thank you to everyone
855
00:38:02,777 --> 00:38:05,195
who came together to get this done.
856
00:38:29,170 --> 00:38:32,383
And that right there is how you
do the first 100 days in office.
857
00:38:32,407 --> 00:38:33,517
Congratulations, Madam President.
858
00:38:33,541 --> 00:38:34,819
It's a momentous victory.
859
00:38:34,843 --> 00:38:36,554
Well, I couldn't have done it
without the both of you.
860
00:38:36,578 --> 00:38:39,256
- Well, that's true.
- Especially you, FGOTUS.
861
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,425
It's been a pleasure
making history with you.
862
00:38:42,884 --> 00:38:44,428
Okay.
863
00:38:44,452 --> 00:38:45,696
Enjoy it while it lasts,
864
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:49,233
'cause this Iran debacle
is gonna be a nightmare.
865
00:38:49,257 --> 00:38:51,335
They are gonna pull out all the stops,
866
00:38:51,359 --> 00:38:54,505
milk every bit of lifeblood out of it.
867
00:38:54,529 --> 00:38:56,040
Drink, Russell?
868
00:38:56,064 --> 00:38:58,148
Just a small one.
869
00:38:59,067 --> 00:39:01,451
Well, I want to taste it.
870
00:39:03,371 --> 00:39:05,455
Thank you.
871
00:39:07,508 --> 00:39:08,819
Unto the breach.
872
00:39:08,843 --> 00:39:10,394
- Oh.
- Hear, hear.
873
00:39:11,446 --> 00:39:13,424
Oh, I'm taking my office back.
874
00:39:13,448 --> 00:39:15,165
What?
875
00:39:16,117 --> 00:39:17,761
I was here first.
876
00:39:20,121 --> 00:39:21,465
The American Experiment
877
00:39:21,489 --> 00:39:23,601
is about giving everyone
a way forward _
878
00:39:23,625 --> 00:39:25,269
even when we disagree.
879
00:39:25,293 --> 00:39:29,974
In fact, disagreement is
the hallmark of our democracy.
880
00:39:29,998 --> 00:39:33,210
We respect our Constitution
881
00:39:33,234 --> 00:39:36,247
by respecting our fellow citizens,
882
00:39:36,271 --> 00:39:38,949
even when
we don't get everything we want,
883
00:39:38,973 --> 00:39:41,819
even when we disagree passionately.
884
00:39:41,843 --> 00:39:44,255
That is democracy.
885
00:39:47,782 --> 00:39:49,927
Now one of my opponents,
886
00:39:49,951 --> 00:39:52,997
he hasn't liked what he's been
reading about himself lately,
887
00:39:53,021 --> 00:39:55,866
so he's lashed out
at the media in ways
888
00:39:55,890 --> 00:39:59,536
that I believe undermine
freedom of the press,
889
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,741
which is enshrined
in our Constitution.
890
00:40:05,767 --> 00:40:08,545
And he has engaged in attacks...
891
00:40:08,569 --> 00:40:12,650
personal attacks...
against his opponents
892
00:40:12,674 --> 00:40:16,420
that are not only irrelevant
to important policy debates,
893
00:40:16,444 --> 00:40:18,822
but are meaningless distractions
894
00:40:18,846 --> 00:40:23,093
that are beneath the dignity
of the office we seek.
895
00:40:25,086 --> 00:40:28,632
Anyone running for public office
896
00:40:28,656 --> 00:40:30,567
who tries to bully his opponents
897
00:40:30,591 --> 00:40:32,970
is not just disrespecting them,
898
00:40:32,994 --> 00:40:35,572
but disrespecting America
899
00:40:35,596 --> 00:40:39,209
and the rights
and values that we stand for.
900
00:40:41,302 --> 00:40:44,515
Anyone who questions
our basic freedoms
901
00:40:44,539 --> 00:40:47,051
because they don't like
what's coming out
902
00:40:47,075 --> 00:40:48,752
about themselves in the press
903
00:40:48,776 --> 00:40:51,956
isn't just disrespecting
our Constitution.
904
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:53,958
He is rejecting it.
905
00:40:56,484 --> 00:40:58,762
Eroding our core values and rights
906
00:40:58,786 --> 00:41:02,272
will lead us down a dark road
toward autocracy.
907
00:41:03,624 --> 00:41:06,437
Democracy means that we stand united,
908
00:41:06,461 --> 00:41:09,740
even when we sit
on different sides of the aisle.
909
00:41:09,764 --> 00:41:12,409
We fight for what we believe in,
910
00:41:12,433 --> 00:41:14,578
but we fight fair.
911
00:41:14,602 --> 00:41:18,515
With decency and dignity and respect.
912
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,618
Now I realize...
913
00:41:21,642 --> 00:41:24,021
I realize that these are just words.
914
00:41:24,045 --> 00:41:26,657
So how can I put these words
into action?
915
00:41:26,681 --> 00:41:28,525
How?!
916
00:41:28,549 --> 00:41:31,028
Well, I'd like
917
00:41:31,052 --> 00:41:33,297
to introduce you to my running mate.
918
00:41:33,321 --> 00:41:36,834
I am humbled and honored
that he decided to join me,
919
00:41:36,858 --> 00:41:39,036
especially
because he and I have been known
920
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:41,372
to be political rivals.
921
00:41:41,396 --> 00:41:44,174
Well, we fought
for what we believe in,
922
00:41:44,198 --> 00:41:46,643
and we fought through our differences,
923
00:41:46,667 --> 00:41:49,246
and we got things done.
924
00:41:51,105 --> 00:41:53,017
And we will continue
925
00:41:53,041 --> 00:41:54,818
to rise above our differences
926
00:41:54,842 --> 00:41:57,254
on behalf of all Americans.
927
00:41:57,278 --> 00:41:59,423
I am so proud
928
00:41:59,447 --> 00:42:03,360
to introduce the next vice
president of the United States,
929
00:42:03,384 --> 00:42:06,163
Senator Carlos Morejon.
