1
00:00:08,399 --> 00:00:11,620
I don't know. I feel like...

2
00:00:11,663 --> 00:00:14,492
I feel like these shoes
are at a different party.

3
00:00:14,536 --> 00:00:17,800
You know?
One where fun goes to die.

4
00:00:17,843 --> 00:00:20,020
So less corporate,
more red carpet?

5
00:00:20,063 --> 00:00:21,499
I think so. Great.

6
00:00:21,543 --> 00:00:23,110
Thanks, Roxanne.

7
00:00:23,153 --> 00:00:25,112
I really appreciate
you jumping in.

8
00:00:25,155 --> 00:00:27,462
Ali usually helps
me with big events,

9
00:00:27,505 --> 00:00:30,726
but she's doing an
internship abroad and...

10
00:00:30,769 --> 00:00:32,467
No problem. Okay.

11
00:00:33,511 --> 00:00:35,948
These should put the
fun in fundraiser.

12
00:00:35,992 --> 00:00:37,689
Oh, yeah. See?

13
00:00:37,733 --> 00:00:39,822
Now, look.

14
00:00:39,865 --> 00:00:42,042
This is why women have
a thing about shoes.

15
00:00:42,085 --> 00:00:44,087
They do?

16
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:45,567
Well, that's news to me.

17
00:00:45,610 --> 00:00:47,047
Oh, hey, handsome.

18
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,700
I love you in that old thing.

19
00:00:48,744 --> 00:00:50,920
It never gets old.
That's why it's a classic.

20
00:00:50,963 --> 00:00:53,923
It certainly is. Okay,
I got to go over and work on my remarks.

21
00:00:53,966 --> 00:00:55,055
No, d-don't touch.

22
00:00:55,098 --> 00:00:57,796
All right.
Good seeing you, Roxanne.

23
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,843
Well, I think we got a winner.
What do you think?

24
00:01:00,886 --> 00:01:01,974
ROXANNE: Yeah.

25
00:01:02,018 --> 00:01:03,846
There's just one
other wardrobe issue

26
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:05,195
we should discuss
moving forward.

27
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:07,197
It's about your husband.

28
00:01:07,241 --> 00:01:10,418
DAISY: So you'll at least want to
get a drive-by with Senator Wagner.

29
00:01:10,461 --> 00:01:12,942
He has a sweet tooth,
so target the dessert table.

30
00:01:12,985 --> 00:01:15,007
And, uh, Senator Langston might
be a little harder to pin down.

31
00:01:15,031 --> 00:01:16,989
Oh, Sydney and Louise
Winters's winery

32
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,967
had a great harvest coming
off an award-winning year,

33
00:01:18,991 --> 00:01:20,732
so you can lean on
them to up their grant.

34
00:01:20,776 --> 00:01:22,125
ELIZABETH: Just for one night,

35
00:01:22,169 --> 00:01:26,477
can we not think about
fundraising or votes?

36
00:01:26,521 --> 00:01:30,742
Come on. This event actually
has the potential to be fun.

37
00:01:30,786 --> 00:01:32,657
You might be in the wrong
profession, ma'am.

38
00:01:32,701 --> 00:01:34,983
I said "one night," Blake.
I'm not having a vocational crisis.

39
00:01:35,007 --> 00:01:37,009
Good to know.
But this is Henry's night to shine,

40
00:01:37,053 --> 00:01:41,797
so I am perfectly justified
staying out of the spotlight.

41
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,234
Yes, ma'am.

42
00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:48,586
Oh, it's the McCords,
in glamorous formal wear.

43
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:49,979
I feel itchy. Oh, youfeel itchy?

44
00:01:50,022 --> 00:01:52,895
Well, y-you look really g...
That looks great.

45
00:01:53,939 --> 00:01:56,028
You have on writer's face.

46
00:01:56,072 --> 00:01:57,615
What...
No, I had writer's face before.

47
00:01:57,639 --> 00:01:59,119
This is public remarks face.

48
00:01:59,162 --> 00:02:00,270
Oh. Well, okay.[clears throat]

49
00:02:00,294 --> 00:02:02,470
Let's do this.Okay.

50
00:02:02,513 --> 00:02:04,167
ELIZABETH [quietly]: Thank you.

51
00:02:04,211 --> 00:02:06,169
[laughs]: Okay.

52
00:02:10,652 --> 00:02:12,480
[exhales]

53
00:02:16,223 --> 00:02:20,140
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen,
President Elizabeth McCord

54
00:02:20,183 --> 00:02:22,783
and First Gentleman Dr. Henry
McCord.["Hail to the Chief" playing]

55
00:02:23,795 --> 00:02:25,797
[indistinct chatter]

56
00:02:30,106 --> 00:02:32,761
Madam Secretary,
it's a pleasure to see you.

57
00:02:32,804 --> 00:02:35,633
And you, too, Madam President.
[chuckles]

58
00:02:35,677 --> 00:02:40,203
Is Minister Chen playing nice
on the Taiwanese negotiations?

59
00:02:40,247 --> 00:02:42,684
Oh, I've got his number.
I think he misses you.

60
00:02:42,727 --> 00:02:45,121
[both chuckle]Excuse me.

61
00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,079
Hi, you. MIKE: Senators Windbag

62
00:02:47,123 --> 00:02:48,733
and Expediency are
here as expected.

63
00:02:48,777 --> 00:02:50,518
[quietly]: Good to see you.

64
00:02:50,561 --> 00:02:53,173
Good evening, Mike. Not if we
can't get your wildly unrealistic,

65
00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:55,175
giving-me-palpitations
legislative meatball

66
00:02:55,218 --> 00:02:56,456
over the finish line. Thank you.

67
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,221
You have votes to whip, lady.
I mean, Madam.

68
00:02:58,265 --> 00:03:00,136
President. I was sort of hoping

69
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:01,833
to take the night off.[laughs]

70
00:03:01,877 --> 00:03:03,922
So, Wagner likes
to feel important.

71
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:06,074
So just act like you're there
seeking his brilliant counsel

72
00:03:06,098 --> 00:03:07,665
and actually give a crap

73
00:03:07,709 --> 00:03:09,121
about his spectacular
blowhardery.[overlapping greetings]

74
00:03:09,145 --> 00:03:12,192
That and he likes to brag
about bringing home the bacon

75
00:03:12,235 --> 00:03:13,671
to his constituents.

76
00:03:13,715 --> 00:03:17,066
Langston is an idealist
but responds to power,

77
00:03:17,109 --> 00:03:18,937
so just pummel her.

78
00:03:18,981 --> 00:03:22,245
Isn't it a bit unseemly for
the president to pummel?

79
00:03:22,289 --> 00:03:26,249
Failure is unseemlier,
and your hundredth day in office looms.

80
00:03:26,293 --> 00:03:29,209
[soft music playing]

81
00:03:29,252 --> 00:03:33,082
Now, see, that's something that
we can all reach consensus on.

82
00:03:33,125 --> 00:03:34,953
We ought to
chocolate-cover every bill

83
00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:37,956
that comes to the floor,
Madam President.[laughs]

84
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,350
Thanks for coming out
tonight, Senator Wagner.

85
00:03:40,394 --> 00:03:43,919
Any chance to hear that
scholarly husband of yours talk.

86
00:03:43,962 --> 00:03:46,313
Well, that's nice to hear.

87
00:03:46,356 --> 00:03:49,881
Be even nicer to hear if I had
your support for the ESI bill.

88
00:03:49,925 --> 00:03:53,581
I support the
infrastructure piece,

89
00:03:53,624 --> 00:03:56,714
but some of my colleagues
and I have concerns

90
00:03:56,758 --> 00:03:59,848
about the education handouts.

91
00:04:00,936 --> 00:04:04,896
Well, we can't have
next-gen infrastructure

92
00:04:04,940 --> 00:04:08,596
without innovations in science,
and we can't lead in science

93
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:09,919
without investing
in education...

94
00:04:09,945 --> 00:04:12,817
The hip bone's connected
to the thigh bone.

95
00:04:12,861 --> 00:04:14,839
I've heard your pitch, ma'am,
but the people of Alabama

96
00:04:14,863 --> 00:04:16,952
don't care about
the body politic.

97
00:04:16,995 --> 00:04:19,998
They care about
runaway spending.

98
00:04:20,042 --> 00:04:21,739
Do you think

99
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:25,743
that those concerns might
be allayed if we make sure

100
00:04:25,787 --> 00:04:27,919
contracts for rebuilding
Alabama's schools

101
00:04:27,963 --> 00:04:31,793
only go to local
construction companies?

102
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:38,278
That might be just the chocolate
fix they need, Madam President.

103
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,107
PATRICIA: Before
you all knew him

104
00:04:42,151 --> 00:04:45,850
as the First Gentleman
of the United States,

105
00:04:45,894 --> 00:04:48,940
he was known in many
circles for other things.

106
00:04:48,984 --> 00:04:52,857
Fighter pilot, religious
scholar, acclaimed author,

107
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:54,903
White House advisor.

108
00:04:54,946 --> 00:04:56,426
Clearly,
he did the best he could

109
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,254
with the limited talents he had.

110
00:04:58,298 --> 00:04:59,908
[laughter]

111
00:04:59,951 --> 00:05:02,954
Please welcome Dr. Henry McCord.

112
00:05:02,998 --> 00:05:05,217
[applause]

113
00:05:05,261 --> 00:05:06,436
[camera clicking]

114
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,178
Thank you, Patricia.
Thank you very much.

115
00:05:09,221 --> 00:05:12,790
Well, it's true,
I've had a blessed and weird life

116
00:05:12,834 --> 00:05:14,966
and I've pursued some
challenging paths.

117
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:17,795
But what you probably don't know
is that I could never have been

118
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,843
any of those things
without poetry.

119
00:05:21,886 --> 00:05:24,367
I mean, here I was, this
goofy, working-class kid

120
00:05:24,411 --> 00:05:28,806
from Pittsburgh without a single
interesting thought in my mind.

121
00:05:28,850 --> 00:05:32,070
And then, in high school,
I had this great teacher, Mr. Eastman,

122
00:05:32,114 --> 00:05:36,945
who made me read Gerard Manley
Hopkins and Emily Dickinson

123
00:05:36,988 --> 00:05:40,949
and Langston Hughes
and Blaise Pascal.

124
00:05:40,992 --> 00:05:45,083
These were theologians,
philosophers, innovators

125
00:05:45,127 --> 00:05:46,476
and artists.

126
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,959
And suddenly,
my mind caught fire.

127
00:05:51,002 --> 00:05:55,006
I... the way they used words
just lit up my imagination

128
00:05:55,050 --> 00:05:59,968
and expanded my
concept of the divine.

129
00:06:00,011 --> 00:06:03,841
They ignited all my passions
and put them in one place.

130
00:06:04,886 --> 00:06:07,105
In his poem "High Flight,"

131
00:06:07,149 --> 00:06:10,500
John Gillespie Magee Jr. wrote,

132
00:06:10,544 --> 00:06:14,374
"Oh, I have slipped the
surly bonds of earth,

133
00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:17,855
And danced the skies on
laughter-silvered wings."

134
00:06:17,899 --> 00:06:20,858
When I read that passage,
I instantly knew two things:

135
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:24,993
I wanted to study theology
and I wanted to fly.

136
00:06:25,036 --> 00:06:26,124
[laughs softly]

137
00:06:26,168 --> 00:06:29,301
Artists have inspired
me to do everything

138
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:32,043
that's meaningful in my life.

139
00:06:32,087 --> 00:06:34,437
I may have even leaned on a
little Keats and Shakespeare

140
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:36,439
when I was wooing
my beautiful wife.

141
00:06:36,483 --> 00:06:39,181
[murmuring, applause]

142
00:06:40,182 --> 00:06:42,358
There is nothing that drives

143
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:46,014
our world-leading
economy like creativity,

144
00:06:46,057 --> 00:06:50,845
and there is nothing that
drives creativity like the arts.

145
00:06:50,888 --> 00:06:55,850
It is vital that we foster
them and invest in them.

146
00:06:55,893 --> 00:06:57,504
[applause]Thank you very much.

147
00:06:58,940 --> 00:07:00,898
[mouths]

148
00:07:00,942 --> 00:07:02,509
Don't tell people this, but...

149
00:07:02,552 --> 00:07:05,033
Thomas Aquinas
walks into a bar...

150
00:07:05,076 --> 00:07:08,558
I'm so sorry to pull rank,
but the first gentleman is needed

151
00:07:08,602 --> 00:07:10,473
for an emergency
dancing situation,

152
00:07:10,517 --> 00:07:11,909
and it can't be helped.Sorry.

153
00:07:11,953 --> 00:07:14,216
Can't say no to the chief.

154
00:07:14,259 --> 00:07:17,306
♪

155
00:07:17,349 --> 00:07:19,351
Well, hello.Hello.

156
00:07:21,136 --> 00:07:24,444
We haven't danced like this
since the inaugural ball.

157
00:07:24,487 --> 00:07:26,576
We haven't danced
at all since then.

158
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:28,926
Well, there was that
midnight Macarena moment.

159
00:07:28,970 --> 00:07:31,276
[laughs]: Okay,
that was fun.[chuckles]

160
00:07:35,063 --> 00:07:39,284
You know, sometimes I just
can't believe this is all real.

161
00:07:39,328 --> 00:07:40,982
Right?

162
00:07:41,025 --> 00:07:42,940
The only way I know
this isn't a dream

163
00:07:42,984 --> 00:07:45,073
is because I can
still work my phone.

164
00:07:45,116 --> 00:07:46,204
What?

165
00:07:46,248 --> 00:07:50,339
You can't work
technology in your dream.

166
00:07:50,382 --> 00:07:52,123
You're crazy.
Yes, you can.No. You can't.

167
00:07:52,167 --> 00:07:53,821
I can. Yes, I can.
No, you can't.

168
00:07:53,864 --> 00:07:55,257
It's scientifically proven.

169
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,955
Oh, yeah? What...
who are the scientists... Yeah.

170
00:07:57,999 --> 00:07:59,348
That did this experiment?

171
00:07:59,391 --> 00:08:01,306
Well, I'm going to
get somebody on it.

172
00:08:01,350 --> 00:08:03,352
[both laugh]

173
00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:09,358
I love you, Henry McCord.

174
00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:11,969

Anything that comes up.

Elizabeth...

It's just all-around solid advice.
I love you.

Uh... Morning, Dr. McCord.

187
00:08:39,475 --> 00:08:42,019
Good morning, Evan. Last night's
speech already paying dividends.

188

Well, let's hear it.
Two more senators and five House members

signed on to your
increased NEA-funding push.

190
00:08:46,134 --> 00:08:47,614
My kind of dividends.

191
00:08:47,657 --> 00:08:49,877
And you're confirmed for
Colbertthis afternoon.

192
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,183
Cool. And terrifying.
Flying out of Andrews at 1300.

193
00:08:52,227 --> 00:08:54,359
Um, and Jason's definitely
coming with, right?

194
00:08:54,403 --> 00:08:57,058
I'll make sure he's got a seat.
And you have a visitor.

HENRY: Roxanne.

196
00:09:00,931 --> 00:09:02,629
This is a surprise.
Really, Dr. McCord?

197
00:09:02,672 --> 00:09:04,892
I convinced the
commander in chief.

198
00:09:06,589 --> 00:09:08,069
Meet your new wardrobe.

199
00:09:10,114 --> 00:09:11,202
MIKE: Oh, hey.

200
00:09:11,246 --> 00:09:12,595
Good timing.

201
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:14,902
I know I haven't brought this up
lately, or today,

202
00:09:14,945 --> 00:09:17,513
but this is day 98,
which means only two more days

203
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,056
until I can quit.
I know. I know, Mike.

204
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:20,168
Do you, though?

205
00:09:20,211 --> 00:09:22,387
Yes. I-I have your
shortlist on my desk.

206
00:09:22,431 --> 00:09:23,563
Actually, here it is again,

207
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:24,714
because I fished it
out from the pile

208
00:09:24,738 --> 00:09:25,932
and gingerly blew
the dust off of it.

209
00:09:25,956 --> 00:09:28,480
You haven't brought
any of those people in.

210
00:09:28,524 --> 00:09:31,222
I will. Yes, you will,
because the leader of the free world

211
00:09:31,266 --> 00:09:32,920
would not go back on her word.

212
00:09:32,963 --> 00:09:34,922
No, she wouldn't.

213
00:09:34,965 --> 00:09:37,577
Look, I don't want the
job Jay Whitman rejected.

214
00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:39,709
I want the job you promised me:

215
00:09:39,753 --> 00:09:41,232
counselor to the president.

216
00:09:41,276 --> 00:09:43,234
Behind the scenes,
under the radar.

217
00:09:43,278 --> 00:09:46,063
Cracking heads and
crushing enemies.

218
00:09:46,107 --> 00:09:49,414
But you're so good at
being my chief of staff.

219
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:52,592
Acting chief of staff,
and of course I'm amazing at it.

220
00:09:52,635 --> 00:09:54,245
But I hate it.

221
00:09:54,289 --> 00:09:56,030
It's all relationships
and people.

222
00:09:56,073 --> 00:09:58,380
So many people... in person.

223
00:09:59,424 --> 00:10:01,209
Well,
I'm gonna need some more time.

224
00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:03,080
No. No, that was not the deal.

225
00:10:03,124 --> 00:10:06,083
I agreed to filling in
for the first 100 days.

226
00:10:06,127 --> 00:10:07,519
We shook on it.

227
00:10:07,563 --> 00:10:10,261
Don't punish me because
Jay had a mental breakdown.

228
00:10:10,305 --> 00:10:11,567
It wasn't a breakdown.

229
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,221
Total breakdown. It was love.

230
00:10:13,264 --> 00:10:15,547
What's the difference?
The kid walked out on his dream job.

231
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:16,703
For what? A chess player?

232
00:10:16,746 --> 00:10:19,009
To be happy? From Holland?

233
00:10:19,053 --> 00:10:20,663
That's sexy. To start a family?

234
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:23,144
To not end up alone?

235
00:10:23,187 --> 00:10:24,624
[groans] Oh, what's that?

236
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:27,104
Clearly,
things you don't care about.

237
00:10:27,148 --> 00:10:29,126
Yeah, and I cannot care about those
things... Exactly why you are perfect

when I have the job that I want.

239
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:34,024
Okay, I hear you.

240
00:10:34,068 --> 00:10:35,635
Until then? Whip count is 58

241
00:10:35,678 --> 00:10:37,569
after you secured Langston
and Wagner last night.

242
00:10:37,593 --> 00:10:39,987
Well, that's great.
It's great-adjacent.

243
00:10:40,030 --> 00:10:42,139
We're still two votes shy of
a filibuster-proof majority,

00:10:42,163 --> 00:10:44,358

willing to sacrifice. Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning. Lemon poppyseed.

00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:47,472
What did you call me?

You really need to calm down. And see?
He's back to being an assistant.

Uh, ROTUS.
Receptionist of the United States.

That's worse.
That's a promotion.

That's how she gets you.

00:10:55,916 --> 00:10:57,676
Okay. Ma'am,

legislative tour de force

New intel on the Knights
of Western Freedom or...?

00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:08,015
No, ma'am. It's Iran.

258
00:11:08,058 --> 00:11:09,581
That's never good.

259
00:11:09,625 --> 00:11:10,985
Madam President,
yesterday morning,

260
00:11:11,018 --> 00:11:13,585
I received a call from
my counterpart in Mossad.

261
00:11:13,629 --> 00:11:15,762
During an Israeli
counterintelligence operation,

262
00:11:15,805 --> 00:11:18,373
agents came across
court documents

263
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:21,332
from Senator Beauregard Miller's
divorce on a VAJA server.

264
00:11:21,376 --> 00:11:23,813
Which documents? Same ones

265
00:11:23,857 --> 00:11:25,095
about Miller
cheating on his wife,

266
00:11:25,119 --> 00:11:26,618
fathering a child with
one of his staffers

267
00:11:26,642 --> 00:11:29,036
that were leaked to a
reporter during the campaign.

268
00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:31,603
And Mossad thinks the
Iranians hacked them?

269
00:11:31,647 --> 00:11:33,562
Yes, ma'am,
and the Bureau's own metadata

270
00:11:33,605 --> 00:11:37,087
and friends at code analysis
confirm Iranian origin.

271
00:11:37,131 --> 00:11:38,499
MIKE: Let's not panic.
Valerie Guillen,

272
00:11:38,523 --> 00:11:39,631
from The Chronicle,
she broke the story.

273
00:11:39,655 --> 00:11:40,676
What does she have to say?

274
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:41,657
She's not giving up her source.

275
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:42,876
But she denies

276
00:11:42,919 --> 00:11:44,157
receiving the documents
from the Iranians.

277
00:11:44,181 --> 00:11:45,202
She could have gotten them

278
00:11:45,226 --> 00:11:46,575
through a third party.

279
00:11:46,618 --> 00:11:48,359
If I may, ma'am.

280
00:11:48,403 --> 00:11:52,755
Our working theory is that
Iran targeted Miller's campaign

281
00:11:52,799 --> 00:11:56,585
because of his aggressively
anti-Iranian positions,

282
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:59,762
and because he
was a harsh critic

283
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:03,374
of your role in landing
the Iran peace deal.

284
00:12:03,418 --> 00:12:04,724
Okay, now we can panic.

285
00:12:06,421 --> 00:12:10,120
I want to know exactly what
happened, and who

286
00:12:10,164 --> 00:12:12,383
in the Iranian leadership
was responsible. Thank you.

287
00:12:12,427 --> 00:12:15,082
We're on it.
You bet, Madam President.

00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:21,088
I want CYBERCOM

290
00:12:21,131 --> 00:12:24,091
to draw up severe
countermeasures.

291

If it gets out that
Iran tried to tank

your biggest rival's campaign
in order to help you,

293
00:12:30,488 --> 00:12:34,101
it could taint the
legitimacy of your election.

This is much bigger
than my election.

Let's do it.

348
00:14:49,976 --> 00:14:51,238
No, Mike... Bring it up.

349
00:14:51,281 --> 00:14:55,938
No. It's... sad and sordid.

350
00:14:55,982 --> 00:14:58,767
You're right.
You're right, we'll take a moment.

351
00:14:58,810 --> 00:15:00,247
Celebrate when the
smell goes away.

352
00:15:00,290 --> 00:15:01,378
Be thinking about VPs.

353
00:15:01,422 --> 00:15:03,380
No more eggs on the bus, people!

354
00:15:04,773 --> 00:15:08,298
So the idea is,
you cannot have high-tech infrastructure

355
00:15:08,342 --> 00:15:11,040
without some serious
science behind it.

356
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:12,626
And you can't have the
best scientific minds

357
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:14,000
without education.

358
00:15:14,043 --> 00:15:17,264
Basically, human infrastructure

359
00:15:17,307 --> 00:15:19,570
begets physical infrastructure.

360
00:15:19,614 --> 00:15:22,573
Okay. I got to say,
I rarely hear the word

361
00:15:22,617 --> 00:15:23,966
"begets" outside of the Bible.

362
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:26,882
[laughter]Um...

363
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,711
So... so go back.
What is "human infrastructure"?

364
00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:31,278
Do we have to make
human pyramids?

365
00:15:31,321 --> 00:15:32,844
Do I have to take
iron supplements?

366
00:15:32,888 --> 00:15:35,586
What is a human...?
Well, only if your doctor tells you.

367
00:15:35,630 --> 00:15:37,327
I... You are a doctor.

368
00:15:37,371 --> 00:15:39,025
Of-of philosophy.

369
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:41,810
Uh, and a-a fighter pilot,
uh, an ethics advisor

370
00:15:41,853 --> 00:15:44,856
to former President Dalton,
a religious scholar, an author.

371
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:46,815
Now you're championing, uh,

372
00:15:46,858 --> 00:15:49,818
arts in education.
There's a word for guys like you:

373
00:15:49,861 --> 00:15:52,777
annoying.[laughter]

374
00:15:52,821 --> 00:15:55,955
I mean, you're married to the
president, for Pete's sake.

375
00:15:55,998 --> 00:15:57,957
Why can't you just
finally retire?

376
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,307
Well, I-I-I can't because
what I really want

377
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:01,699
is to have my own talk show.

378
00:16:01,743 --> 00:16:02,874
Really?[laughter]

379
00:16:02,918 --> 00:16:04,746
Really?
You might be disappointed,

380
00:16:04,789 --> 00:16:07,444
because here are some words
you rarely hear on a talk show:

381
00:16:07,488 --> 00:16:09,838
"I read your book on St.
Francis."

382
00:16:09,881 --> 00:16:12,623
[chuckles] You're the
guy, thank you. Yeah,

383
00:16:12,667 --> 00:16:14,886
you're welcome.
I had no idea that St. Frankie

384
00:16:14,930 --> 00:16:17,019
was such a playa.
I mean...[laughter]

385
00:16:17,063 --> 00:16:19,804
The guy... the guy partied.

386
00:16:19,848 --> 00:16:22,677
Yeah, well, once you start
talking to birds, you know...

387
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,070
Yeah.[laughter]

388
00:16:24,113 --> 00:16:26,637
This is funnier if you're
Catholic, by the way.

389
00:16:26,681 --> 00:16:27,987
[laughter]

390
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,771
[chuckles]: I-I thought
you were gonna say

391
00:16:29,814 --> 00:16:32,078
it's funnier if you're a nerd.
That, too.

392
00:16:32,121 --> 00:16:33,601
Okay, so, uh...

393
00:16:33,644 --> 00:16:35,820
you're pretty busy.
I happen to know, uh,

394
00:16:35,864 --> 00:16:39,563
your wife, uh,
has a few obligations of her own.

395
00:16:39,607 --> 00:16:42,784
How do the two of you manage
to make time to see each other?

396
00:16:42,827 --> 00:16:44,655
Well... you know, it's tough.

397
00:16:44,699 --> 00:16:47,832
And sometimes it feels like
we can go weeks without,

398
00:16:47,876 --> 00:16:49,747
you know... Oh, I know.

399
00:16:49,791 --> 00:16:51,488
Yeah. No...[laughter]

400
00:16:51,532 --> 00:16:52,794
Oh. Oh, boy. Really? Weeks?

401
00:16:52,837 --> 00:16:54,709
Wow. No.Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

402
00:16:54,752 --> 00:16:56,363
[both chuckling]

403
00:16:56,406 --> 00:16:57,668
Seriously, though, uh...

404
00:16:57,712 --> 00:16:59,409
[laughter]

405
00:16:59,453 --> 00:17:02,021
Cohabitating with the
first female president,

406
00:17:02,064 --> 00:17:04,371
uh, I mean, she's off on
Air Force One all the time;

407
00:17:04,414 --> 00:17:07,504
that makes the White House
your personal man cave.

408
00:17:07,548 --> 00:17:08,699
So, we wanted to help you out.

409
00:17:08,723 --> 00:17:10,942
We-we got...
we got you a present.

410
00:17:10,986 --> 00:17:13,075
Here-here you go.[laughter]

411
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,034
There it is.
We got you... Oh, wow.

412
00:17:15,077 --> 00:17:16,687
[cheers and applause]

413
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:19,560
Wow. We got you your own...

414
00:17:19,603 --> 00:17:21,518
We got that...

415
00:17:21,562 --> 00:17:25,000
Your-your own
FGOTUS beer helmet.

416
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,523
Oh, that's just what I
need, yeah.

417
00:17:26,567 --> 00:17:29,526
Uh, now if you...
if you push, uh, the button...

419

420
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,619

00:17:40,929 --> 00:17:42,626
we also made...

424
00:17:42,670 --> 00:17:44,019
we also made a nuclear version,

425
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,847
but you can only
push the button once.

426
00:17:45,890 --> 00:17:47,762

428

00:17:57,206 --> 00:17:58,686
Thank you, sir.

431
00:18:00,514 --> 00:18:02,081
Whoo!

432
00:18:02,124 --> 00:18:04,083
KOHL: Attack option
one: A DoS strike

433
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:06,128
shutting down Iranian
government websites

434
00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:08,043
and disabling the
civilian Internet.

435
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:12,003
Option two: Knock
out the power grid.

436
00:18:12,047 --> 00:18:16,095
And all comms, radio,
phone and satellite.

437
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:20,621
Option three: A direct attack
on the Revolutionary Guard.

438
00:18:20,664 --> 00:18:22,927
We fry every piece
of military hardware

439
00:18:22,971 --> 00:18:24,015
with a data connection.

440
00:18:24,059 --> 00:18:26,583
From SRBMs to main battle tanks.

441
00:18:26,627 --> 00:18:28,803
Any of these would
send a clear message.

442
00:18:31,197 --> 00:18:32,937
Prepare to execute all three.

443
00:18:32,981 --> 00:18:34,765
KOHL: Yes, ma'am.

444
00:18:34,809 --> 00:18:36,593
ELIZABETH: Susan,
I want to follow

445
00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:38,093
with sanctions that go
right up to the line of what

446
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:39,770
we can do given the peace deal.

447
00:18:39,814 --> 00:18:41,990
I'll have a plan on
your desk in two hours.

448
00:18:45,211 --> 00:18:49,780
If I were to declassify
all of this...

449
00:18:49,824 --> 00:18:53,784
would there be any
operational risks?

450
00:18:53,828 --> 00:18:55,482
AMELIA: Mossad says
it was a pure hack.

451
00:18:55,525 --> 00:18:57,701
No human assets in play.

452
00:18:57,745 --> 00:19:00,008
The Israelis are good
with declassifying.

453
00:19:02,053 --> 00:19:03,490
Thank you, everyone.

454
00:19:03,533 --> 00:19:05,970
OTHERS: Thank you,
Madam President.

455
00:19:06,014 --> 00:19:09,539
Brief Daisy. I'm holding a press conference
in an hour. Let's just take a beat.

456
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:12,107
No. No political considerations.
This could kill the ESI bill,

457
00:19:12,151 --> 00:19:13,998
hobble your administration
before it's out of the gate.

458
00:19:14,022 --> 00:19:16,938
The American people deserve to know, Mike.
And they will.

459
00:19:16,981 --> 00:19:18,853
Just give it a few days.
Get ESI on the books.

460
00:19:20,202 --> 00:19:22,117
Brief Daisy now.

Good afternoon.

464
00:19:38,046 --> 00:19:41,223
Earlier today,
I received an intelligence briefing

465
00:19:41,267 --> 00:19:42,790
about the discovery of a hack

466
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:44,661
by the government
of Iran last year

467
00:19:44,705 --> 00:19:48,056
that resulted in
confidential information

468
00:19:48,099 --> 00:19:50,537
about Senator Beauregard
Miller being leaked

469
00:19:50,580 --> 00:19:53,235
during the
presidential campaign.

What now, Chicken Little?

483
00:20:32,796 --> 00:20:35,190
The scandal didn't hurt
Miller in the polls.

484
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:37,192
He could eat a baby on
national television,

485
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:38,628
and his base wouldn't care

486
00:20:38,672 --> 00:20:41,588
as long as he panders
to their fears. Well,

487
00:20:41,631 --> 00:20:44,112
I've been thinking about
a major speech. On what?

knocking up interns?

I'm telling you,
it's what people want.

It's what they're yearning
for, more than anything. No,

493
00:20:56,820 --> 00:20:58,363
it's what they say
they're yearning for,

494
00:20:58,387 --> 00:21:00,278
but really, they just want to
bash each other's heads in.

495
00:21:00,302 --> 00:21:02,933
Do a speech on that. It might actually
be a crowd-pleaser. Oh, my God.

496
00:21:02,957 --> 00:21:05,065
The mac and cheese...
Okay, I'm glad you're enjoying your lunch,

Okay.

00:21:23,064 --> 00:21:25,675
[quietly]: I was
thinking Carlos Morejon.

00:21:28,112 --> 00:21:29,655

right about the time

Why is it crazy?

509
00:21:34,684 --> 00:21:36,251
Because he would
never leave his party.

510
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:37,837
He wouldn't have to.
And you guys are on the opposite sides

511
00:21:37,861 --> 00:21:39,515
of, I don't know, everything?

512
00:21:39,559 --> 00:21:41,798
Not everything. We...
I-I also have it on really good authority

513

515
00:21:45,956 --> 00:21:48,176
No.

00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:50,309
Carlos is principled.

517

He'd never do it.
That's adorable.

but no politician's ego ever met
a principle it couldn't crush.

520
00:21:57,490 --> 00:21:59,143
Which is why I'm
already gathering oppo

521
00:21:59,187 --> 00:22:00,904
to wound Morejon before
they can even announce.

522
00:22:00,928 --> 00:22:02,035
We just have to
hope it's enough,

523
00:22:02,059 --> 00:22:04,323
and that's way too
much mac and cheese.

524
00:22:09,415 --> 00:22:11,001
MALE ANCHOR: that an
attack by a foreign power

525
00:22:11,025 --> 00:22:13,375
threw the election in her favor.

526
00:22:13,419 --> 00:22:15,812
She spent years improving
diplomatic relations

527
00:22:15,856 --> 00:22:18,337
with a sworn enemy
of the United States.

528
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:21,775
This was a direct
attack on our democracy.

529
00:22:21,818 --> 00:22:24,821
Those responsible must
be held accountable,

530
00:22:24,865 --> 00:22:28,390
even if they reside at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

531
00:22:28,434 --> 00:22:32,002
For the sake of the nation,
we will leave no stone unturned

532
00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:34,701
in our investigation into
President McCord's campaign

533
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:39,096
for any sign of collusion
with the Iranian regime.

534
00:22:39,140 --> 00:22:40,465
[reports clamoring]Hey,
here's a neat feature.

535
00:22:40,489 --> 00:22:42,186
[TV turns off] Oh.

536
00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:45,015
I can't believe Mike
was right about this.

537
00:22:45,059 --> 00:22:48,367
We shouldn't have had
that press conference.

538
00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:51,065
I didn't think that people
would be willing to use this

539
00:22:51,108 --> 00:22:53,720
as a pretext to go after us.

540
00:22:53,763 --> 00:22:57,071
Mike's trying to find a way
around this investigation,

541
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:59,856
but I think that we should
fully cooperate, don't you?

542
00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:03,033
I think that if...
I mean, we have nothing to hide.

543
00:23:03,077 --> 00:23:04,339
And I don't want to give

544
00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:07,255
even the slightest
appearance of a cover-up.

545
00:23:07,298 --> 00:23:10,345
True, but if you... Right?
How do you win a fight

546
00:23:10,389 --> 00:23:13,000
where your opponent is
willing to hit below the belt

547
00:23:13,043 --> 00:23:15,524
and you're not?

548
00:23:15,568 --> 00:23:17,744
[sighs]

549
00:23:19,136 --> 00:23:20,747
Henry?

550
00:23:22,009 --> 00:23:23,489
Oh, you're really asking?

551
00:23:23,532 --> 00:23:25,316
[laughs]: Yeah.

552
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:27,057
Get out of the ring.

553
00:23:27,101 --> 00:23:29,495
Focus on the fight that
you really care about.

554
00:23:29,538 --> 00:23:31,322
The ESI bill.Yes.

555
00:23:31,366 --> 00:23:33,194
Don't let anyone
distract your team

556
00:23:33,237 --> 00:23:35,805
from getting it over
the finish line.

557
00:23:35,849 --> 00:23:38,547
Well, now this investigation
is providing enough cloud cover

558
00:23:38,591 --> 00:23:40,331
for some senators to waver.

559
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:42,072
It's gonna be tight.

560
00:23:42,116 --> 00:23:44,901
All the more reason
to stay on point.

561
00:23:44,945 --> 00:23:47,904
Give the public something
else to talk about.

562
00:23:47,948 --> 00:23:51,125
Yeah. Maybe they'll be too busy
talking about our sex life.

563
00:23:51,168 --> 00:23:52,474
Okay. [laughs]

564
00:23:52,518 --> 00:23:56,870
That is so not what I said.

565
00:23:56,913 --> 00:24:00,264
Colbert jumped on a moment
and he twisted it around...

566
00:24:00,308 --> 00:24:01,483
Trust me, I know.[stammers]

567
00:24:01,527 --> 00:24:03,485
But you did hesitate.

568
00:24:03,529 --> 00:24:05,095
I was thinking.

569
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:07,924
About how we did have more
sex before the election?

570
00:24:07,968 --> 00:24:11,145
We've had plenty of
post-election sex.

571
00:24:11,188 --> 00:24:13,103
Are we losing steam?

572
00:24:13,147 --> 00:24:14,322
No. We've got steam.

573
00:24:14,365 --> 00:24:16,585
We have...
w-we've got plenty of steam.

574
00:24:16,629 --> 00:24:18,239
We're fine.

575
00:24:19,283 --> 00:24:20,937
Is there maybe a
power imbalance?

576
00:24:20,981 --> 00:24:25,028
Like, you can't take charge
with your commander in chief?

577
00:24:25,072 --> 00:24:27,161
I mean, on some subtle,

578
00:24:27,204 --> 00:24:28,554
psychological level.[chuckles]

579
00:24:28,597 --> 00:24:32,253
My subtle psyche can boss
yours around any day.

580
00:24:36,344 --> 00:24:39,042
I find it sexy that
you're my commander.

581
00:24:42,002 --> 00:24:44,004
Please tell me what to say.

582
00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,319
MALE ANCHOR: Senate intelligence
committee chairman Mark Hanson

583
00:24:55,363 --> 00:24:57,060
has officially opened
an investigation

584
00:24:57,104 --> 00:24:59,323
into the McCord campaign.

585
00:24:59,367 --> 00:25:00,977
ELIZABETH: Good morning.

586
00:25:01,021 --> 00:25:03,434
Not for your legislative agenda.
The Iran scandal's blowing up.

587
00:25:03,458 --> 00:25:06,156
[exhales] You know, even Nixon

588
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,985
accomplished lots of big
stuff during Watergate.

589
00:25:09,029 --> 00:25:11,161
Title IX, opening China,

590
00:25:11,205 --> 00:25:13,444
creating the EPA.Yeah,
but all anyone remembers is Watergate.

591
00:25:13,468 --> 00:25:14,880
All right,
Nixon's not the best example,

592
00:25:14,904 --> 00:25:16,316
but why am I worried
about your feelings?

593
00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:18,057
I don't know,
maybe because you made me take a job

594
00:25:18,081 --> 00:25:19,494
I didn't want,
and now I'm managing a crisis

595
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:20,562
I told you not to create,

596
00:25:20,606 --> 00:25:22,564
and if ESI gets
flushed as a result,

597
00:25:22,608 --> 00:25:25,306
every dinner party I attend for
the rest of my natural life,

598
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:26,588
I'm gonna have to hear theories

599
00:25:26,612 --> 00:25:29,005
about how I should've
saved your presidency

600
00:25:29,049 --> 00:25:31,965
over a scandal that never
should have happened.

601
00:25:32,008 --> 00:25:33,532
[quietly]: Feel better?

602
00:25:33,575 --> 00:25:34,968
Little bit.

603
00:25:35,011 --> 00:25:37,971
Good. Because we are
getting ESI done.

604
00:25:38,014 --> 00:25:39,973
I want you to make
me appointments

605
00:25:40,016 --> 00:25:42,018
with all the undecided senators.
I... No, no, no.

606
00:25:42,062 --> 00:25:45,152
POTUS gives marching
orders, POTUS doesn't march.

607
00:25:45,195 --> 00:25:46,303
When the president
shows up at your door,

608
00:25:46,327 --> 00:25:47,546
that is the nuclear option.

609
00:25:47,589 --> 00:25:49,286
It shouldn't be used lightly.

610
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:51,288
Okay. How about this idea?

611
00:25:51,332 --> 00:25:53,377
Okay. I was thinking

612
00:25:53,421 --> 00:25:58,078
about leaning on tech CEOs from
states with wavering senators,

613
00:25:58,121 --> 00:25:59,514
That I like. Yes. That I can...

614
00:25:59,558 --> 00:26:01,168
Madam President, excuse me.Yeah.

615
00:26:01,211 --> 00:26:02,754
This was Senator Miller
five minutes ago.

616
00:26:02,778 --> 00:26:04,539
MILLER [on iPad]: Now we
know why I lost the election.

617
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:08,088
Because Elizabeth McCord
colluded with the Iranians

618
00:26:08,131 --> 00:26:10,307
to sabotage my campaign.

619
00:26:10,351 --> 00:26:14,442
Her election is illegitimate
and so is her presidency.

620
00:26:14,485 --> 00:26:16,052
I support my colleague[moans]

621
00:26:16,096 --> 00:26:19,055
Chairman Hanson's
righteous investigation

622
00:26:19,099 --> 00:26:21,623
into this grievous
matter.[reporters shouting]

623
00:26:21,667 --> 00:26:23,253
If he were any more
righteously grievous,

624
00:26:23,277 --> 00:26:25,235
his hair would catch fire.
DAISY: This just put

625
00:26:25,279 --> 00:26:26,367
the scandal on steroids.

626
00:26:26,410 --> 00:26:27,934
Look, as long as he's with us

627
00:26:27,977 --> 00:26:30,371
on ESI, Miller can
call me a war criminal.

628
00:26:30,414 --> 00:26:32,547
No distractions.
Let's get to work, okay?

629
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,121
[low, indistinct chatter]

630
00:26:44,254 --> 00:26:46,256
[water running]

631
00:26:48,215 --> 00:26:50,652
Interesting place to meet.

632
00:26:50,696 --> 00:26:52,262
Well, thought it might be best

633
00:26:52,306 --> 00:26:54,047
to do this privately.

634
00:26:54,090 --> 00:26:55,962
I appreciate that, I guess.

635
00:26:56,005 --> 00:26:57,398
I hear you're considering

636
00:26:57,441 --> 00:26:59,574
joining Miller's ticket.

637
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:01,663
Considering. He has not asked.

638
00:27:03,752 --> 00:27:05,449
[whispers]: Miller?

639
00:27:05,493 --> 00:27:08,191
[sighs]He rode a wave of
nationalist bullpucky,

640
00:27:08,235 --> 00:27:11,020
picking up right where
Callister left off,

641
00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:16,286
with his disgusting attacks on
migrants, the media.

642
00:27:16,330 --> 00:27:19,289
He's not fit

643
00:27:19,333 --> 00:27:20,551
to be president.

644
00:27:20,595 --> 00:27:22,641
He won the nomination.
That doesn't mean

645
00:27:22,684 --> 00:27:24,643
that honorable people
should get behind him

646
00:27:24,686 --> 00:27:27,210
and validate his worst impulses.

647
00:27:27,254 --> 00:27:30,039
I get on that ticket,
I can mitigate those impulses.

648
00:27:30,083 --> 00:27:33,042
I can be the adult in the room.
It's my way

649
00:27:33,086 --> 00:27:35,175
of serving. That's the bar?

650
00:27:35,218 --> 00:27:40,006
Serving by keeping an
unfit president in line?

651
00:27:41,398 --> 00:27:43,226
Come on, Carlos.

652
00:27:43,270 --> 00:27:46,708
Wouldn't you rather be on a
ticket you really believe in?

653
00:27:48,492 --> 00:27:50,451
What are you talking about?

654
00:27:50,494 --> 00:27:54,020
I want you to be
my vice president.

655
00:27:55,064 --> 00:27:56,675
You must be joking.

656
00:27:57,719 --> 00:27:59,547
I'm not.

657
00:27:59,590 --> 00:28:02,376
My position on immigration
alone would make it unt...

658
00:28:02,419 --> 00:28:05,161
We worked together
on immigration.

659
00:28:05,205 --> 00:28:06,685
That was an extreme
circumstance.

660
00:28:06,728 --> 00:28:07,990
Land mines.

661
00:28:08,034 --> 00:28:10,340
You discovered that I
have a soft spot in me

662
00:28:10,384 --> 00:28:12,168
when it comes to children.
You also broke

663
00:28:12,212 --> 00:28:14,736
with Callister to support
the sanctions on Poland.

664
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:17,173
No. No.

665
00:28:17,217 --> 00:28:19,349
This would not work.
This is crazy.

666
00:28:19,393 --> 00:28:20,786
Why?

667
00:28:20,829 --> 00:28:23,702
You and I have more in
common than you and Miller.

668
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:29,620
His politics will divide
this country even further.

669
00:28:29,664 --> 00:28:33,363
But you and I can show America
that people can disagree

670
00:28:33,407 --> 00:28:37,063
and still work together
and get things done.

671
00:28:37,106 --> 00:28:39,065
I'd never give up
being a Republican.

672
00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:40,544
I'd never ask you to.

673
00:28:40,588 --> 00:28:43,199
I wouldn't support
all of your policies.

674
00:28:43,243 --> 00:28:45,636
All I'd ask is that
you hear me out.

675
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,638
And I'd do the same with you.

676
00:28:47,682 --> 00:28:50,380
And when we disagree?

677
00:28:50,424 --> 00:28:51,793
You'll never have
to publicly support

678
00:28:51,817 --> 00:28:53,557
a policy you don't believe in.

679
00:28:53,601 --> 00:28:56,691
As long as you don't
publicly disagree, either.

680
00:28:58,911 --> 00:29:03,219
Look, I-I'm truly honored

681
00:29:03,263 --> 00:29:05,744
for this offer, Elizabeth,

682
00:29:05,787 --> 00:29:08,790
but no matter how you spin this,

683
00:29:08,834 --> 00:29:11,271
I would still be
abandoning my party.

684
00:29:13,447 --> 00:29:16,798
No, I appreciate the courage

685
00:29:16,842 --> 00:29:20,759
that it took you to ask me,
but I'm not that courageous.

686
00:29:23,152 --> 00:29:25,154
[sighs]

687
00:29:29,158 --> 00:29:31,247
Good luck out there.

688
00:29:31,291 --> 00:29:33,119
You, too.

689
00:29:33,162 --> 00:29:34,468
Yeah.

690
00:29:36,862 --> 00:29:39,386
[grunts]

691
00:29:39,429 --> 00:29:41,170
ELIZABETH: All I
ask is that you lean

692
00:29:41,214 --> 00:29:43,390
on Senator Sheehan, Zack.

693
00:29:45,392 --> 00:29:48,134
Okay, thanks for your time.

694
00:29:48,177 --> 00:29:49,570
Who's next?

695
00:29:49,613 --> 00:29:50,808
Ma'am,
General Kohl wants you to know

696
00:29:50,832 --> 00:29:53,313
the countermeasures
against Iran have begun.

697
00:29:54,575 --> 00:29:56,292
Tell him I want a progress
report in an hour.

698
00:29:56,316 --> 00:29:58,535
Yes, ma'am.Sixty.

699
00:29:58,579 --> 00:30:00,624
We got to 60.What? Wait.

700
00:30:00,668 --> 00:30:02,864
How? Son of a bitch Girardi
came around after getting beaten

701
00:30:02,888 --> 00:30:05,281
like a redheaded stepchild
by Kristi Daniels.

702
00:30:05,325 --> 00:30:09,633
Not an hour after you talked to
her, she threatened to pull LCD

703
00:30:09,677 --> 00:30:11,374
and battery production
out of Florida.

704
00:30:11,418 --> 00:30:13,289
Boom![laughs]

705
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,161
Mmm.

706
00:30:15,204 --> 00:30:17,641
Doesn't this make you want to
just stay being chief of staff?

707
00:30:17,685 --> 00:30:19,600
Have you no shame,
Madam President?

708
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:20,906
No. It's a big deal, Bess.

709
00:30:20,949 --> 00:30:22,579
I know. Especially with
all the Iran noise.

710
00:30:22,603 --> 00:30:24,823
I know. Mmm.

711
00:30:24,866 --> 00:30:26,825
Thanks, Mike.

712
00:30:29,958 --> 00:30:32,308
[exhales]

713
00:30:32,352 --> 00:30:34,876
Hey. This is a surprise.

714
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,618
I've got 15 minutes
till my next meeting.

715
00:30:37,661 --> 00:30:39,881
Yeah, I got ten.

716
00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:43,189
I love this jacket.

717
00:30:43,232 --> 00:30:46,453
Oh, well, it's a two-button
basket weave wool,

718
00:30:46,496 --> 00:30:48,237
which is very versatile.

719
00:30:48,281 --> 00:30:49,804
Are you mad at me about Roxanne?

720
00:30:49,848 --> 00:30:51,260
I just thought she
had some neat ideas,

721
00:30:51,284 --> 00:30:54,548
and y-you can always say no.

722
00:30:54,591 --> 00:30:56,550
But you do look good.

723
00:30:56,593 --> 00:30:58,465
How good?

724
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:03,209
Follow me, FGOTUS.

725
00:31:03,252 --> 00:31:05,254
Yes, ma'am.

726
00:31:11,565 --> 00:31:13,915
Well, I hope that was fun,
because the good times are over.

727
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:15,153
I was gone, like, ten minutes.

728
00:31:15,177 --> 00:31:17,484
Miller's threatening to
withdraw his support.

729
00:31:17,527 --> 00:31:18,746
That leaves us with 59 votes.

730
00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:20,574
And with that stupid
investigation going on,

731
00:31:20,617 --> 00:31:22,247
the lack of his vote looks like
retribution.Okay. I'll get into it.

732
00:31:22,271 --> 00:31:23,969
No, I'm on it, I'm on it.No.

733
00:31:24,012 --> 00:31:25,598
I have to do this myself.
Madam President, I really wouldn't. I...

734
00:31:25,622 --> 00:31:27,818
I know. I'm supposed to give the
marching orders and not march,

735
00:31:27,842 --> 00:31:29,844
I go that,
and I've been doing it,

736
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:31,541
but now it is time for
the nuclear option.

737
00:31:31,585 --> 00:31:34,283
I'm not... I don't disagree,
it's your shirt's on inside out.

738
00:31:35,676 --> 00:31:36,895
I'm...

739
00:31:36,938 --> 00:31:38,331
I'll call the motorcade.

740
00:31:38,374 --> 00:31:40,376
Thank you.

741
00:31:46,382 --> 00:31:47,882
Valerie Guillen,
the reporter at The Chronicle

742
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:49,746
who originally broke the
Senator Miller scandal

743
00:31:49,777 --> 00:31:51,735
is refusing to
give up her source,

744
00:31:51,779 --> 00:31:53,955
but she denies receiving...
TAYLOR: Senator Miller,

745
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:55,879
I'm so sorry to interrupt.
The president just...

746
00:31:55,914 --> 00:31:56,958
ELIZABETH: Senator.

747
00:31:57,002 --> 00:31:59,569
Got a minute? Oh.

748
00:31:59,613 --> 00:32:01,267
Madam President. Of course.

749
00:32:01,310 --> 00:32:02,592
Ever since President
McCord's press conference...

750
00:32:02,616 --> 00:32:03,704
[chuckles]

751
00:32:03,747 --> 00:32:05,967
Four TVs. Thorough.

752
00:32:06,011 --> 00:32:08,796
I like to stay on top
of current events.

753
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:11,799
Yeah. Ma'am,

754
00:32:11,842 --> 00:32:14,410
would it be wrong to tell
you how ravishing you look?

755
00:32:14,454 --> 00:32:16,673
You mean because
I'm your president,

756
00:32:16,717 --> 00:32:18,066
or because it's creepy?

757
00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:20,503
Well, I just want to
get a good look at you

758
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:23,419
because the Oval
Office ages you,

759
00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:26,988
especially with that
whole Iran business.

760
00:32:27,032 --> 00:32:29,077
You won't look the
same come next year.

761
00:32:29,121 --> 00:32:30,687
I got to give you credit.

762
00:32:30,731 --> 00:32:34,430
You are just as vulgar in
private as you are in public.

763
00:32:34,474 --> 00:32:36,955
Why are you here, ma'am?

764
00:32:36,998 --> 00:32:39,609
I need your vote on ESI.

765
00:32:39,653 --> 00:32:41,524
There are 40 other senators

766
00:32:41,568 --> 00:32:43,744
that you could be begging
to flip their vote,

767
00:32:43,787 --> 00:32:45,398
and you chose me?

768
00:32:45,441 --> 00:32:47,617
Those 40 others are opposed
for ideological reasons.

769
00:32:47,661 --> 00:32:49,619
You supported the bill
up until an hour ago.

770
00:32:49,663 --> 00:32:54,450
And you expect me to
be your white knight

771
00:32:54,494 --> 00:32:57,062
when your administration's
under a cloud.

772
00:32:57,105 --> 00:32:59,716
You must be pretty
desperate, ma'am.

773
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,416
Prostrating yourself
instead of dispatching

774
00:33:03,459 --> 00:33:05,331
your little pit bull, Barnow,

775
00:33:05,374 --> 00:33:08,334
like you did to get
the Iran deal done.

776
00:33:08,377 --> 00:33:10,771
Losing hurts, doesn't it?

777
00:33:10,814 --> 00:33:12,903
You accused me of
collusion with Iran.

778
00:33:12,947 --> 00:33:16,385
I wanted to tell you
face-to-face, that's not true.

779
00:33:16,429 --> 00:33:19,475
Well,
forgive me if I'd rather wait

780
00:33:19,519 --> 00:33:21,042
for the results of
the investigation.

781
00:33:21,086 --> 00:33:23,653
I know you've been
cozy with Iran

782
00:33:23,697 --> 00:33:25,133
for years.

783
00:33:25,177 --> 00:33:28,006
Sometimes I wonder
just how cozy you got

784
00:33:28,049 --> 00:33:29,920
with Minister Javani.

785
00:33:29,964 --> 00:33:32,619
God, how low can you go?

786
00:33:32,662 --> 00:33:35,883
The lies you've been spewing
about that deal these past years

787
00:33:35,926 --> 00:33:38,059
have done nothing for
American security...

788
00:33:38,103 --> 00:33:39,669
I resent that, Madam. Too bad.

789
00:33:39,713 --> 00:33:42,107
Get your facts straight.

790
00:33:42,150 --> 00:33:44,500
Now, I'm not here to
relitigate that deal.

791
00:33:44,544 --> 00:33:46,067
What do you want?

792
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:48,026
My reputation back!

793
00:33:49,984 --> 00:33:51,855
Committee assignments.

794
00:33:51,899 --> 00:33:54,119
That's up to your party.

795
00:33:54,162 --> 00:33:57,818
I want to be right by your
side for the bill signing,

796
00:33:57,861 --> 00:33:59,515
and I want to be
the first person

797
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:00,710
whose hand you shake and thank,

798
00:34:00,734 --> 00:34:03,389
and then I want
you to personally

799
00:34:03,432 --> 00:34:05,695
lobby Ramirez and Hopkins

800
00:34:05,739 --> 00:34:07,871
to restore my
committee assignments.

801
00:34:10,961 --> 00:34:13,399
[clapping] MIKE: Well
done, Madam President.

802
00:34:13,442 --> 00:34:14,878
That's how the
sausage gets made.

803
00:34:14,922 --> 00:34:17,620
Enough to make me want
to go full-on vegan.

804
00:34:17,664 --> 00:34:19,709
You got it done.
Next order of business,

805
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:22,103
updated shortlist of the
new chief of staff options.

806
00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:24,714
Who do you like? [sighs]

807
00:34:24,758 --> 00:34:26,977
I like this. [groans]

808
00:34:27,021 --> 00:34:30,416
I-I don't want to
break in anyone new.

809
00:34:30,459 --> 00:34:32,418
Tell that to Jay.

810
00:34:32,461 --> 00:34:34,942
You got to let that go.
If you will let me go.

811
00:34:38,859 --> 00:34:41,427
[sighs]

812
00:34:43,472 --> 00:34:46,997
Ever since Gordon died,
I've been reevaluating things.

813
00:34:47,041 --> 00:34:51,654
He was the only totally pure
and honest part of my life,

814
00:34:51,698 --> 00:34:53,482
which, being in D.C.,
isn't saying much,

815
00:34:53,526 --> 00:34:55,093
but still.

816
00:34:55,136 --> 00:34:57,443
I just accepted
him for who he was.

817
00:34:57,486 --> 00:35:00,010
If he...
if he took a crap on my bath mat

818
00:35:00,054 --> 00:35:02,839
or tried to hump the
golden across the street,

819
00:35:02,883 --> 00:35:06,016
I just, I always knew he
was being true to himself,

820
00:35:06,060 --> 00:35:08,062
in the moment.

821
00:35:11,544 --> 00:35:14,634
It was his most
profound gift to me.

822
00:35:17,637 --> 00:35:20,161
A lesson in how to live,

823
00:35:20,205 --> 00:35:22,642
and I'm-I'm trying
to honor that.

824
00:35:24,818 --> 00:35:26,559
Look, I would...

825
00:35:26,602 --> 00:35:28,778
I would stand in front of a
bullet train for you, Bess,

826
00:35:28,822 --> 00:35:31,172
which I can now

827
00:35:31,216 --> 00:35:34,958
with the infrastructure
part of the ESI bill,

828
00:35:35,002 --> 00:35:37,918
but I have to trust
my gut on this.

829
00:35:41,008 --> 00:35:44,011
Okay, I'll stop begging.

830
00:35:44,054 --> 00:35:46,056
Thank you.

831
00:35:50,235 --> 00:35:53,803
Aren't you gonna
miss this office?

832
00:35:53,847 --> 00:35:55,283
Oh, I'm not giving this up.

833
00:35:55,327 --> 00:35:57,677
The new guy can get another one.
I was here first.

834
00:35:58,721 --> 00:35:59,809
[snaps fingers]

835
00:35:59,853 --> 00:36:01,507
What?

836
00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:04,988
You just made me realize
who I want to replace you.

837
00:36:16,261 --> 00:36:19,220
[siren chirps]

838
00:36:21,831 --> 00:36:25,052
Congrats on your first
victory with the ESI bill.

839
00:36:27,054 --> 00:36:28,664
You get two more, tops,

840
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:30,971
and that's if this
Iran investigation

841
00:36:31,014 --> 00:36:32,581
doesn't cripple you.

842
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:34,540
It's good to see
you, too, Russell.

843
00:36:34,583 --> 00:36:36,542
Lawn looks nice.

844
00:36:36,585 --> 00:36:40,023
Yeah. Carol fired the gardener

845
00:36:40,067 --> 00:36:42,243
so I'd have something
relaxing to do.

846
00:36:42,287 --> 00:36:46,029
It's supposed to be
Zen or something.

847
00:36:46,073 --> 00:36:48,597
Nobody tells you about weeds.

848
00:36:48,641 --> 00:36:50,599
Do you realize what a
pain in the ass they are?

849
00:36:50,643 --> 00:36:53,298
They never stop.
They're like lobbyists.

850
00:36:53,341 --> 00:36:55,778
Well, then,
I'll get right to the point.

851
00:36:55,822 --> 00:36:58,738
I'm sorry to drop in unannounced

852
00:36:58,781 --> 00:37:01,044
but I knew that if I
gave you a heads-up

853
00:37:01,088 --> 00:37:03,917
then Carol would
run interference.

854
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,875
Oh.

855
00:37:05,919 --> 00:37:08,704
You want me to do something...
stressful.

856
00:37:08,748 --> 00:37:10,706
Just temporarily.

857
00:37:10,750 --> 00:37:13,927
I want you to step in
as my chief of staff

858
00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:15,929
for a transition period.

859
00:37:15,972 --> 00:37:18,323
I know you've already
given eight years

860
00:37:18,366 --> 00:37:21,761
of this job to Dalton,
and you may be over it,

861
00:37:21,804 --> 00:37:25,112
but this moment in time
is going to determine

862
00:37:25,155 --> 00:37:27,680
how effective I
am going forward,

863
00:37:27,723 --> 00:37:29,769
and...

864
00:37:29,812 --> 00:37:31,771
I really need you.

865
00:37:31,814 --> 00:37:34,730
Don't answer, because I-I...
I know you got

866
00:37:34,774 --> 00:37:39,126
to talk it over with Carol,
and if it's "no," I understand.

867
00:37:40,388 --> 00:37:42,608
I had to ask.

00:37:53,401 --> 00:37:54,837
[car door closes,
engines starting]

869
00:37:54,881 --> 00:37:56,709
Carol?!

870
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,754
Call the gardener!

871
00:38:00,756 --> 00:38:02,715
ELIZABETH: I also need to thank.

872
00:38:02,758 --> 00:38:04,847
Senator Beauregard Miller

873
00:38:04,891 --> 00:38:08,329
whose decisive vote
made this day possible.

874
00:38:08,373 --> 00:38:10,070
Senator,

875
00:38:10,113 --> 00:38:12,725
your bold leadership

876
00:38:12,768 --> 00:38:14,727
on this historic bill

877
00:38:14,770 --> 00:38:16,729
will always be remembered.

878
00:38:16,772 --> 00:38:18,774
Thank you,
and thank you to everyone

879
00:38:18,818 --> 00:38:21,124
who came together
to get this done.

880
00:38:28,131 --> 00:38:30,133

881
00:38:40,361 --> 00:38:42,320
[camera shutters clicking]

882
00:38:45,192 --> 00:38:48,326
MIKE: And that right there is how
you do the first 100 days in office.

883
00:38:48,369 --> 00:38:49,433
Congratulations,
Madam President.

884
00:38:49,457 --> 00:38:50,893
It's a momentous victory.

885
00:38:50,937 --> 00:38:52,436
Well, I couldn't have done
it without the both of you.

886
00:38:52,460 --> 00:38:55,202
Well, that's true.
Especially you, FGOTUS.

887
00:38:55,245 --> 00:38:57,335
It's been a pleasure
making history with you.

888
00:38:57,378 --> 00:38:58,901
[laughs]

889
00:38:58,945 --> 00:39:00,338
Okay.

890
00:39:00,381 --> 00:39:01,774
Enjoy it while it lasts,

891
00:39:01,817 --> 00:39:05,168
'cause this Iran debacle
is gonna be a nightmare.

892
00:39:05,212 --> 00:39:07,301
They are gonna pull
out all the stops,

893
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:10,435
milk every bit of
lifeblood out of it.

894
00:39:10,478 --> 00:39:12,088
Drink, Russell?

895
00:39:12,132 --> 00:39:14,134
Just a small one.

896
00:39:15,135 --> 00:39:17,355
Well, I want to taste it.

897
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,359
Thank you.

898
00:39:23,491 --> 00:39:24,927
Unto the breach.

899
00:39:24,971 --> 00:39:26,364
Oh. Hear, hear.

900
00:39:27,452 --> 00:39:29,410
Oh, I'm taking my office back.

901
00:39:29,454 --> 00:39:31,151
What?

902
00:39:32,195 --> 00:39:33,849
I was here first.

903
00:39:33,893 --> 00:39:36,156
[sighs]

904
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:37,438
ELIZABETH: The
American Experiment

905
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:39,725
is about giving
everyone a way forward

906
00:39:39,768 --> 00:39:41,291
even when we disagree.

907
00:39:41,335 --> 00:39:46,035
In fact, disagreement is the
hallmark of our democracy.

908
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:49,212
We respect our Constitution

909
00:39:49,256 --> 00:39:52,259
by respecting our
fellow citizens,

910
00:39:52,302 --> 00:39:55,044
even when we don't get
everything we want,

911
00:39:55,088 --> 00:39:57,917
even when we disagree
passionately.

912
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,267
Thatis democracy.

913
00:40:00,310 --> 00:40:02,922
[applause and cheering]

914
00:40:03,923 --> 00:40:06,012
Now one of my opponents,

915
00:40:06,055 --> 00:40:09,058
he hasn't liked what he's been
reading about himself lately,

916
00:40:09,102 --> 00:40:11,974
so he's lashed out
at the media in ways

917
00:40:12,018 --> 00:40:15,500
that I believe undermine
freedom of the press,

918
00:40:15,543 --> 00:40:19,852
which is enshrined
in our Constitution.

919
00:40:19,895 --> 00:40:21,854
[applause and cheering]

920
00:40:21,897 --> 00:40:24,509
ELIZABETH: And he has
engaged in attacks...

921
00:40:24,552 --> 00:40:28,774
Personal attacks...
Against his opponents

922
00:40:28,817 --> 00:40:32,430
that are not only irrelevant
to important policy debates,

923
00:40:32,473 --> 00:40:34,910
but are meaningless distractions

924
00:40:34,954 --> 00:40:39,132
that are beneath the dignity
of the office we seek.

925
00:40:39,175 --> 00:40:41,134
[applause and cheering]

926
00:40:41,177 --> 00:40:44,572
Anyone running for public office

927
00:40:44,616 --> 00:40:46,531
who tries to bully his opponents

928
00:40:46,574 --> 00:40:49,055
is not just disrespecting them,

929
00:40:49,098 --> 00:40:51,536
but disrespecting America

930
00:40:51,579 --> 00:40:55,278
and the rights and
values that we stand for.

931
00:40:55,322 --> 00:40:57,280
[applause and cheering]

932
00:40:57,324 --> 00:41:00,501
Anyone who questions
our basic freedoms

933
00:41:00,545 --> 00:41:03,112
because they don't
like what's coming out

934
00:41:03,156 --> 00:41:04,897
about themselves in the press

935
00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:08,030
isn't just disrespecting
our Constitution.

936
00:41:08,074 --> 00:41:10,119
He is rejecting it.

937
00:41:10,163 --> 00:41:12,513
[applause and cheering]

938
00:41:12,557 --> 00:41:14,950
Eroding our core
values and rights

939
00:41:14,994 --> 00:41:18,345
will lead us down a dark
road toward autocracy.

940
00:41:19,651 --> 00:41:22,480
Democracy means that
we stand united,

941
00:41:22,523 --> 00:41:25,918
even when we sit on
different sides of the aisle.

942
00:41:25,961 --> 00:41:28,486
We fight for what we believe in,

943
00:41:28,529 --> 00:41:30,575
but we fight fair.

944
00:41:30,618 --> 00:41:34,535
With decency and
dignity and respect.

945
00:41:34,579 --> 00:41:35,623
[applause and cheering]

946
00:41:35,667 --> 00:41:37,625
Now I realize...

947
00:41:37,669 --> 00:41:40,149
I realize that these
are just words.

948
00:41:40,193 --> 00:41:42,848
So how can I put these
words into action?

949
00:41:42,891 --> 00:41:44,545
MAN: How?![laughter]

950
00:41:44,589 --> 00:41:47,156
Well, I'd like

951
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,376
to introduce you
to my running mate.

952
00:41:49,419 --> 00:41:52,988
I am humbled and honored
that he decided to join me,

953
00:41:53,032 --> 00:41:55,164
especially because he
and I have been known

954
00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:57,471
to be political rivals.

955
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:00,300
Well, we fought for
what we believe in,

956
00:42:00,343 --> 00:42:02,650
and we fought through
our differences,

957
00:42:02,694 --> 00:42:05,348
and we got things done.

958
00:42:05,392 --> 00:42:07,220
[applause and cheering]

959
00:42:07,263 --> 00:42:09,222
And we will continue

960
00:42:09,265 --> 00:42:11,050
to rise above our differences

961
00:42:11,093 --> 00:42:13,400
on behalf of all Americans.

962
00:42:13,443 --> 00:42:15,533
I am so proud

963
00:42:15,576 --> 00:42:19,537
to introduce the next vice
president of the United States,

964
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:22,365
Senator Carlos Morejon.
