00:01:35,624 --> 00:01:37,917
"Title One of the Stafford Act:
3
00:01:37,921 --> 00:01:41,175
'Emergency' means any occasion
or instance for which,
4
00:01:41,380 --> 00:01:43,340
in the determination
of the president..."
5
00:01:43,424 --> 00:01:45,801
"Determined" by the president.
6
00:01:45,884 --> 00:01:47,803
- Any instance?
- As long as we can make the argument
7
00:01:47,886 --> 00:01:50,097
that this saves lives
and protects health and safety.
8
00:01:50,180 --> 00:01:52,349
Well, unemployment leads to crime,
9
00:01:52,433 --> 00:01:55,603
to malnutrition,
to improper medical care.
10
00:01:55,686 --> 00:01:58,105
There's no doubt it'll
be challenged in the courts.
11
00:01:58,189 --> 00:01:59,857
Well, even so, by the time that happens,
12
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:02,401
people will see what
America Works looks like.
13
00:02:02,485 --> 00:02:05,739
Tell me, in your legal opinion...
14
00:02:07,281 --> 00:02:08,574
is there enough leeway here?
15
00:02:08,658 --> 00:02:10,576
Yes, the language is sufficiently vague.
16
00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:13,621
But just to be clear,
this is completely unorthodox.
17
00:02:13,704 --> 00:02:16,499
No president has ever tried
to reappropriate funds this way.
18
00:02:16,582 --> 00:02:18,709
Thank you, gentlemen, that's all I need.
19
00:02:20,336 --> 00:02:23,423
The states won't go for this.
Too radical.
20
00:02:23,506 --> 00:02:27,259
And if I call just one governor
who says no and leaks it to the press,
21
00:02:27,343 --> 00:02:31,180
Congress will be on my ass
before I get this out of the gates.
22
00:02:31,263 --> 00:02:33,307
But, the District of Columbia...
23
00:02:33,390 --> 00:02:37,060
- No governor.
- Just you, the mayor.
24
00:02:37,144 --> 00:02:39,522
Now, Barney, I know
this puts you out on a ledge.
25
00:02:39,605 --> 00:02:42,650
I love it.
I love everything about it.
26
00:02:43,942 --> 00:02:48,155
We have to fight Congress for every
dollar in our budget, each year.
27
00:02:48,238 --> 00:02:51,825
If my people see me take the money
they won't give us...
28
00:02:51,908 --> 00:02:53,410
well, I just won reelection.
29
00:02:53,494 --> 00:02:56,913
This is why you put a brawler
like Barney Hull in office,
30
00:02:56,997 --> 00:02:58,915
aside from paying a debt.
31
00:02:58,999 --> 00:03:02,252
Add up 50 governors
and 535 members of Congress,
32
00:03:02,336 --> 00:03:05,881
you don't come close
to the gumption of one bold mayor.
33
00:03:05,964 --> 00:03:09,176
I want people registering for jobs
in every part of the city
34
00:03:09,259 --> 00:03:12,179
as soon as possible, before
the court challenges bubble up.
35
00:03:12,262 --> 00:03:14,848
What about one big tent right
in front of the Capitol?
36
00:03:14,931 --> 00:03:18,851
Make Congress see the people line up all
the way back to the Lincoln Memorial.
37
00:03:18,935 --> 00:03:21,021
Can we do something by July Fourth?
38
00:03:21,104 --> 00:03:23,940
You bring the fireworks,
I'll bring the people.
39
00:03:28,028 --> 00:03:30,740
Good morning. Please, sit.
40
00:03:30,823 --> 00:03:32,991
I know Remy has just briefed you all,
41
00:03:33,075 --> 00:03:35,452
so, aside from the Secretary
of Homeland Security,
42
00:03:35,536 --> 00:03:38,706
who is no longer with us,
does anyone else object to this plan?
43
00:03:39,956 --> 00:03:42,585
Good. Until a new
secretary is confirmed,
44
00:03:42,668 --> 00:03:45,755
FEMA will report directly to me.
Thank you all very much.
45
00:04:02,688 --> 00:04:06,108
Unemployment doesn't constitute
a natural disaster, Mr. President.
46
00:04:06,191 --> 00:04:09,779
The Stafford Act gives me
full authority to define an emergency.
47
00:04:09,862 --> 00:04:12,656
But, sir, we've only got
about three billion left
48
00:04:12,740 --> 00:04:15,868
in the Disaster Relief Fund, and we're
about to go into hurricane season.
49
00:04:15,951 --> 00:04:18,551
So we use the three billion
that's there, and if a hurricane hits,
50
00:04:18,621 --> 00:04:22,416
Congress replenishes the funds,
just as they always do.
51
00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:25,795
When it comes to a disaster,
every hour counts, sir.
52
00:04:25,878 --> 00:04:30,299
- If we're waiting around for Congress...
- Mr. Silva, this is moving forward.
53
00:04:31,425 --> 00:04:33,093
People could die, Mr. President.
54
00:04:33,176 --> 00:04:35,638
People are dying
because they don't have jobs.
55
00:04:35,721 --> 00:04:39,099
Slower than a flood or an earthquake,
but dying just the same.
56
00:04:39,182 --> 00:04:42,185
You can't compare unemployment
to a cat four hurricane.
57
00:04:42,269 --> 00:04:45,606
I came to your office because
I want this to remain your office.
58
00:04:45,689 --> 00:04:48,275
There's a reason three presidents
have kept you here.
59
00:04:48,358 --> 00:04:52,362
You're dedicated, you're relentless,
you're exceptionally competent.
60
00:04:52,446 --> 00:04:55,282
If we have to stretch dollars even
further, you're the man to do it.
61
00:04:55,365 --> 00:04:58,410
It's either you
or someone far less experienced.
62
00:05:00,788 --> 00:05:02,788
The two of you head to Iowa
at the end of the week.
63
00:05:02,832 --> 00:05:05,167
That's right.
Eighteen counties this trip.
64
00:05:05,250 --> 00:05:09,004
By January, I plan on hitting all 99.
65
00:05:09,087 --> 00:05:13,216
John will join me at every event
until his husband is released.
66
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,460
Have you had any
contact with Michael since his arrest?
67
00:05:15,469 --> 00:05:19,473
The Russian government has refused.
They won't let him speak to a lawyer.
68
00:05:19,556 --> 00:05:21,892
That's why it's important John join me.
69
00:05:21,975 --> 00:05:24,269
We need to keep the pressure
up on Moscow.
70
00:05:24,353 --> 00:05:26,188
You know,
gay rights is controversial
71
00:05:26,271 --> 00:05:27,272
in many parts of the country.
72
00:05:27,356 --> 00:05:29,733
Do you think that appearing
with Corrigan's husband
73
00:05:29,817 --> 00:05:30,984
could possibly hurt you?
74
00:05:31,067 --> 00:05:34,154
I think the American people want
a candidate who doesn't dodge,
75
00:05:34,237 --> 00:05:37,115
who is truthful about where she stands.
76
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,743
Not someone who shies away
from controversy.
77
00:05:39,827 --> 00:05:41,745
It's one thing to shy away
from controversy.
78
00:05:41,829 --> 00:05:43,413
It's another thing to court it.
79
00:05:43,497 --> 00:05:46,333
Well, Michael was arrested
for speaking his mind.
80
00:05:46,416 --> 00:05:49,586
If defending free speech is
controversial, then...
81
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:51,480
we're no better than Russia.
82
00:05:51,563 --> 00:05:54,566
I wish that there were more people
in our government defending it.
83
00:05:54,650 --> 00:05:57,862
Are you talking specifically
about the Underwood Administration?
84
00:05:57,945 --> 00:05:59,613
I think the president
could do more.
85
00:05:59,696 --> 00:06:02,867
You know, the White House
has said hat they've been speaking
86
00:06:02,950 --> 00:06:05,494
directly with the Kremlin,
that they, and I quote here:
87
00:06:05,577 --> 00:06:08,246
"Have to tackle this issue
as it relates to the larger
88
00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:11,124
diplomatic relationship
between the two nations."
89
00:06:11,207 --> 00:06:15,128
Then why haven't we seen
any evidence of those talks?
90
00:06:15,211 --> 00:06:18,757
When I'm president,
the American people can rest assured
91
00:06:18,841 --> 00:06:24,513
that I will take my oath to defend
and protect our citizens seriously.
92
00:06:24,596 --> 00:06:28,266
- What do you think of her?
- What, Dunbar?
93
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:29,685
Yeah.
94
00:06:29,768 --> 00:06:31,854
I believe that the
administration could do better...
95
00:06:31,937 --> 00:06:35,231
- You worked for Underwood.
- Not anymore.
96
00:06:36,775 --> 00:06:38,527
I won't be offended.
97
00:06:41,321 --> 00:06:44,033
Uh, I like a lot about
what she has to say.
98
00:06:47,202 --> 00:06:49,997
Would you vote for her?
99
00:06:50,081 --> 00:06:52,708
I don't know. I might.
100
00:06:52,791 --> 00:06:56,503
Yeah. Probably would.
101
00:06:56,586 --> 00:06:59,048
- How soon?
- Tomorrow.
102
00:06:59,131 --> 00:07:00,841
We're gonna get hit hard on this.
103
00:07:00,925 --> 00:07:03,969
- Better than getting hit on Corrigan.
- You saw Vieira?
104
00:07:04,053 --> 00:07:06,972
Dunbar's smart. She's running
against us before we're even running.
105
00:07:07,056 --> 00:07:09,141
She'll attack us on the FEMA thing, too.
106
00:07:09,224 --> 00:07:11,518
Then let her. At least
we're controlling the narrative.
107
00:07:11,601 --> 00:07:13,645
When we first spoke,
you mentioned early fall.
108
00:07:13,729 --> 00:07:16,356
Look, Dunbar's got momentum
because no one's challenging her.
109
00:07:16,439 --> 00:07:19,110
But once we drop the FEMA plan,
that'll take her off message.
110
00:07:19,192 --> 00:07:21,987
And your candidacy will distract her.
It's a one-two punch.
111
00:07:22,071 --> 00:07:23,752
We'll start bleeding away
the woman's vote.
112
00:07:23,822 --> 00:07:25,782
I'm just not sure how smart it is
to rush into a campaign
113
00:07:25,866 --> 00:07:28,077
- with so little preparation.
- This isn't a real campaign.
114
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,495
But it needs to look like one.
115
00:07:30,579 --> 00:07:32,789
I thought you wanted to be on my ticket.
116
00:07:32,873 --> 00:07:35,167
It's my reputation at stake.
117
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:37,836
- I don't want to look foolhardy.
- Look, no one...
118
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,756
Mayor's announcing in the morning.
Seth's working with his office.
119
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:42,549
You see, Jackie, this is perfect timing.
120
00:07:42,632 --> 00:07:44,676
The FEMA plan goes into action,
121
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,512
you announce in a couple of weeks,
you say you had to run.
122
00:07:47,596 --> 00:07:50,057
President Underwood
is being reckless with FEMA.
123
00:07:50,141 --> 00:07:53,852
You come out against me and America
Works and you steal Dunbar's thunder.
124
00:07:53,936 --> 00:07:57,189
And then I flip-flop when I pull out
and you put me on the ticket?
125
00:07:57,272 --> 00:08:01,693
By then, 50,000 people will have jobs,
and it won't look like a flip-flop.
126
00:08:01,777 --> 00:08:03,570
It'll look like you saw the light.
127
00:08:03,653 --> 00:08:07,158
Now, look, why don't you go off
with Remy and you discuss the details,
128
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,119
and just give it some thought
before you decide.
129
00:08:11,787 --> 00:08:14,247
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Let's talk in my office.
130
00:08:15,624 --> 00:08:19,044
My biggest concern is funding.
I couldn't fly coach to Iowa.
131
00:08:19,128 --> 00:08:21,005
I'll get you some PAC money
rolling your way.
132
00:08:21,088 --> 00:08:22,965
Should be enough to get you started.
133
00:08:24,382 --> 00:08:27,510
If I run, it shouldn't be half-ass.
134
00:08:27,594 --> 00:08:30,222
Which is why we should talk about this.
135
00:08:35,727 --> 00:08:37,980
You want a candidate
with a family.
136
00:08:38,063 --> 00:08:40,356
We are after the woman's vote.
137
00:08:43,194 --> 00:08:45,946
Alan and I have already talked about it.
138
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:47,322
You have?
139
00:08:48,448 --> 00:08:52,244
Yeah. We joked about getting married
on our first date.
140
00:08:52,327 --> 00:08:55,039
I get two kids
without the stretch marks.
141
00:08:58,917 --> 00:09:01,670
And when I mentioned I might run,
it stopped becoming a joke.
142
00:09:02,963 --> 00:09:05,381
Is Alan open to it?
143
00:09:05,465 --> 00:09:07,634
- It was his idea.
- And what about you?
144
00:09:09,136 --> 00:09:10,595
We do love each other.
145
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,555
Hm. He seems like a good guy.
146
00:09:12,639 --> 00:09:15,684
He is. And his children are wonderful.
147
00:09:17,894 --> 00:09:19,562
You should think about getting hitched.
148
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:24,901
Should we talk timeline?
149
00:09:24,985 --> 00:09:27,570
- For marriage?
- The campaign.
150
00:09:40,709 --> 00:09:43,753
This is far from an offer.
This is a conversation.
151
00:09:43,837 --> 00:09:46,173
And it's a conversation
that never happened.
152
00:09:46,257 --> 00:09:48,383
I took the back door in,
I'll take the back door out.
153
00:09:48,466 --> 00:09:52,096
We keep you off the payroll this quarter.
You start officially September 30th.
154
00:09:52,179 --> 00:09:54,848
Next quarter's FEC filings. It's fine.
155
00:09:56,141 --> 00:09:57,742
What are you thinking
in terms of salary?
156
00:09:57,809 --> 00:10:00,436
Twenty-two thousand per quarter.
157
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,648
That's way below what I'm worth.
Even in this state.
158
00:10:03,732 --> 00:10:05,109
What do you think's appropriate?
159
00:10:05,192 --> 00:10:07,527
Two-fifty and three points
on the ad-buy.
160
00:10:07,610 --> 00:10:10,322
- That's beyond our means.
- No, it's not.
161
00:10:10,405 --> 00:10:12,157
It's a drop in the bucket
from your estate.
162
00:10:12,241 --> 00:10:15,827
You said you wanted in
because you believed in this campaign.
163
00:10:15,911 --> 00:10:18,705
- That's right.
- Sounds like it's more about money.
164
00:10:18,788 --> 00:10:23,252
It's about being valued.
Two-fifty and the points is a bargain.
165
00:10:23,335 --> 00:10:26,130
I want to work for you,
just not as a beggar.
166
00:10:26,213 --> 00:10:28,381
We don't trust you yet, Doug.
167
00:10:28,464 --> 00:10:31,843
We don't even halfway trust you,
so you are a beggar.
168
00:10:31,927 --> 00:10:35,597
And you shouldn't trust me...
until I prove myself.
169
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,392
That's a gamble you don't get to take
without putting chips on the table.
170
00:10:40,852 --> 00:10:42,938
Cynthia and I will discuss.
171
00:10:47,483 --> 00:10:49,194
Thank you for your time.
172
00:10:54,741 --> 00:10:56,368
Let me check first.
173
00:10:58,954 --> 00:11:00,496
Okay, it's clear.
174
00:11:04,417 --> 00:11:07,171
- What do you think?
- Why take the gamble?
175
00:11:07,254 --> 00:11:08,880
I don't want us
to start making decisions
176
00:11:08,964 --> 00:11:11,258
from a position of weakness.
That is how you lose.
177
00:11:11,342 --> 00:11:13,509
I think we're inviting the fox
into the hen house.
178
00:11:13,593 --> 00:11:16,846
Anyone who wants to be a mole accepts
the first offer without question.
179
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:18,473
He's negotiating.
180
00:11:18,556 --> 00:11:20,683
So you actually believe him?
181
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:24,437
Not necessarily.
182
00:11:26,481 --> 00:11:29,734
But that doesn't mean
that he doesn't have value.
183
00:11:31,653 --> 00:11:35,448
Yeah, we're not gonna need any of these.
We're gonna keep these right here.
184
00:11:35,531 --> 00:11:38,493
- Kate Baldwin, the one and only.
- I thought I heard somebody in here.
185
00:11:38,576 --> 00:11:41,955
Welcome to the White House.
Or welcome back, I should say.
186
00:11:42,038 --> 00:11:44,208
It feels smaller than I remember.
187
00:11:44,291 --> 00:11:47,169
- Where do they have you sitting?
- Right there, second row.
188
00:11:47,252 --> 00:11:50,255
Oh. I would've thought
you wanted first row.
189
00:11:50,339 --> 00:11:52,590
I heard you spit when you talk.
190
00:11:52,674 --> 00:11:54,759
What's the president speaking
about tomorrow?
191
00:11:54,843 --> 00:11:56,761
- You don't waste a minute, do you?
- No.
192
00:11:56,845 --> 00:11:57,971
I gotta say, I was surprised
193
00:11:58,054 --> 00:12:00,307
that the Telegraph sent you
to cover the White House.
194
00:12:00,391 --> 00:12:03,685
- I mean, who leaves the London bureau?
- Ayla was a protégée of mine.
195
00:12:03,768 --> 00:12:06,438
I see, so now they
bring in the big guns.
196
00:12:06,521 --> 00:12:08,523
Just one gun, but big enough.
197
00:12:08,606 --> 00:12:10,942
- Don't get any ideas.
- About what?
198
00:12:11,026 --> 00:12:13,278
This is gonna stay around my neck.
199
00:12:13,362 --> 00:12:15,447
You can't boot two reporters in a row
from the Telegraph.
200
00:12:15,530 --> 00:12:18,574
- Certainly not two women.
- I have no desire to do that.
201
00:12:18,658 --> 00:12:20,910
It's an honor to work with you.
202
00:12:20,994 --> 00:12:22,495
Pulitzer, Peabody.
203
00:12:22,578 --> 00:12:24,339
Get yourself a Nobel,
you'll have a trifecta.
204
00:12:24,415 --> 00:12:25,748
Oh, you're almost charming.
205
00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:27,542
Kate, I'm not your enemy here.
206
00:12:27,625 --> 00:12:30,628
You punished Ayla for doing good work.
207
00:12:30,712 --> 00:12:32,588
She hit hard and you hit back.
Fair enough.
208
00:12:32,672 --> 00:12:34,841
Well, I'm gonna hit twice as hard
as she ever did
209
00:12:34,924 --> 00:12:36,885
because I can
and because someone should.
210
00:12:36,968 --> 00:12:41,181
I look forward to it.
211
00:12:41,265 --> 00:12:44,893
You're such a terrible liar.
I'll see you bright and early.
212
00:12:46,561 --> 00:12:49,022
You got a minute?
213
00:12:49,105 --> 00:12:50,441
Sure.
214
00:12:53,651 --> 00:12:56,321
Here's the draft
for the statement tomorrow.
215
00:12:56,405 --> 00:12:58,198
I want it to be perfect.
216
00:12:58,282 --> 00:13:00,451
Congress will fire back,
all guns blazing,
217
00:13:00,533 --> 00:13:03,245
and I'm sure Dunbar will make
a meal and a half out of it.
218
00:13:03,328 --> 00:13:07,499
But I gotta say, I feel good.
To be on the offensive.
219
00:13:07,582 --> 00:13:09,742
If I can't scrape the money together
behind the scenes,
220
00:13:09,792 --> 00:13:12,254
I'll rob the bank
in broad goddamn daylight.
221
00:13:12,337 --> 00:13:16,174
We'll cram America Works down
their throats and watch them choke.
222
00:13:16,258 --> 00:13:18,176
Enough tiptoeing.
223
00:13:19,761 --> 00:13:21,179
Here.
224
00:13:28,353 --> 00:13:30,481
Oh, these changes are good.
225
00:13:31,689 --> 00:13:33,816
It makes me happy to see you excited.
226
00:13:33,900 --> 00:13:35,818
I feel free again.
227
00:13:37,737 --> 00:13:40,073
- I wish I felt the same.
- The resolution?
228
00:13:40,156 --> 00:13:42,867
Just some last minute
hand-holding, but...
229
00:13:42,951 --> 00:13:44,244
I think we'll get there.
230
00:13:44,328 --> 00:13:46,788
I have complete confidence in you.
231
00:13:50,666 --> 00:13:53,169
- Do you like this room?
- It's fine.
232
00:13:54,546 --> 00:13:56,965
You know,
I haven't spent the night here yet.
233
00:13:58,383 --> 00:14:01,177
- Maybe I could...
- My plane leaves at seven.
234
00:14:01,261 --> 00:14:03,514
I should probably get some sleep.
235
00:14:05,723 --> 00:14:08,184
You watch the news tomorrow.
Should be fun.
236
00:14:08,268 --> 00:14:11,104
- I will.
- Good night.
237
00:15:08,495 --> 00:15:11,080
Seventeen years,
I served the Metro Police.
238
00:15:11,164 --> 00:15:13,875
I've seen robberies and murders.
239
00:15:13,958 --> 00:15:15,960
I've seen the blight of drugs.
240
00:15:16,044 --> 00:15:21,757
I've seen little kids whose only meal
each day was the one they get at school.
241
00:15:21,841 --> 00:15:23,843
You know what's at the root of all that?
242
00:15:23,926 --> 00:15:26,721
Folks don't have jobs!
243
00:15:26,804 --> 00:15:30,141
There are 60,000
unemployed people in Washington.
244
00:15:30,225 --> 00:15:32,268
It's a disaster.
245
00:15:32,352 --> 00:15:35,313
And it's a disgrace here
in the nation's capital.
246
00:15:35,397 --> 00:15:37,982
So this morning,
at the president's urging,
247
00:15:38,066 --> 00:15:42,862
I am declaring a state of emergency
in the District of Columbia.
248
00:15:42,945 --> 00:15:46,115
And I am formally requesting
three billion dollars
249
00:15:46,199 --> 00:15:51,871
from FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund
to put people back to work.
250
00:15:51,954 --> 00:15:55,041
Motherfucker.
251
00:15:55,124 --> 00:15:58,920
Anyone, and I mean anyone,
who registers for work
252
00:15:59,003 --> 00:16:03,049
in the District of Columbia
will be guaranteed a job.
253
00:16:03,132 --> 00:16:05,594
I'm working with my cabinet
to increase workforce
254
00:16:05,677 --> 00:16:08,721
devoted to infrastructure,
maintenance and repair.
255
00:16:08,804 --> 00:16:12,434
The Defense Department will ramp up
recruitment and civilian employment.
256
00:16:12,517 --> 00:16:16,480
And any private sector companies
who hire AmWorks registrants
257
00:16:16,563 --> 00:16:20,316
will get up to $45,000
toward the yearly salary
258
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,486
of each job that they create.
259
00:16:22,569 --> 00:16:25,988
Our goal is full employment
within twelve months.
260
00:16:26,072 --> 00:16:28,700
Our hope is that success in Washington
261
00:16:28,783 --> 00:16:32,954
will convince Congress
to fund America Works nationwide.
262
00:16:33,037 --> 00:16:34,581
Now, I'll take a few questions.
263
00:16:34,665 --> 00:16:36,332
Mr. President!
264
00:16:43,674 --> 00:16:46,301
Madam Ambassador. A word, please.
265
00:16:46,384 --> 00:16:47,843
Excuse me.
266
00:16:51,598 --> 00:16:54,976
We are withdrawing support
of the peacekeeping resolution.
267
00:16:55,059 --> 00:16:57,853
- Why?
- Because Israel is.
268
00:16:57,937 --> 00:17:01,483
Palestine is open to the plan,
but without consensus...
269
00:17:03,025 --> 00:17:04,944
This came directly from Jerusalem?
270
00:17:05,027 --> 00:17:07,614
- Yes, the foreign minister.
- Nothing came from Eliana?
271
00:17:07,698 --> 00:17:09,449
No, but I came to speak to her.
272
00:17:11,867 --> 00:17:13,953
I'll speak to her myself.
Thank you, Hasan.
273
00:17:14,036 --> 00:17:16,247
Thank you, Ambassador.
274
00:17:27,091 --> 00:17:29,511
Moscow is threatening
to sell arms to Iran.
275
00:17:29,594 --> 00:17:31,722
They always make that threat.
276
00:17:31,804 --> 00:17:33,684
The feeling in Jerusalem
is that this resolution
277
00:17:33,724 --> 00:17:35,808
may push them over the edge.
It's not worth the risk.
278
00:17:35,891 --> 00:17:38,478
Why didn't you come to me?
The vote's in two hours.
279
00:17:38,562 --> 00:17:40,438
I got the call 30 minutes ago.
280
00:17:40,522 --> 00:17:43,282
Russia doesn't want to be humiliated
because we did this without them.
281
00:17:43,316 --> 00:17:44,984
You know it's a bluff on their part.
282
00:17:45,067 --> 00:17:48,488
The prime minister feels
that this vote is just symbolic.
283
00:17:48,572 --> 00:17:50,741
That the US won't
actually contribute troops.
284
00:17:50,823 --> 00:17:53,909
No, we will absolutely follow
through once it's passed.
285
00:17:53,993 --> 00:17:56,162
The prime minister has his doubts.
286
00:17:57,581 --> 00:17:59,791
I'm sorry, it's out of my hands.
287
00:18:00,875 --> 00:18:01,793
Claire?
288
00:18:03,503 --> 00:18:06,464
Ambassadors, I need you
to withdraw the resolution.
289
00:18:06,548 --> 00:18:08,090
We lost consensus.
290
00:18:08,174 --> 00:18:11,177
I need to postpone the vote
until we get it back.
291
00:18:13,513 --> 00:18:16,391
Secretary Travers is a good example.
292
00:18:16,474 --> 00:18:18,351
Homeland Security?
293
00:18:18,434 --> 00:18:21,688
- Former secretary, I should say.
- He's done?
294
00:18:21,772 --> 00:18:23,856
They haven't announced,
but Steve called me.
295
00:18:23,939 --> 00:18:27,902
Said he stood up to the president
on this FEMA nonsense.
296
00:18:27,985 --> 00:18:30,614
Homeland Security has jurisdiction
over FEMA now.
297
00:18:30,697 --> 00:18:35,243
Right. The president demanded his letter
of resignation right then and there.
298
00:18:36,869 --> 00:18:39,038
- This is all off the record.
- Yeah.
299
00:18:40,707 --> 00:18:43,292
- Paul's got a big mouth.
- So it's true?
300
00:18:43,376 --> 00:18:46,212
- This is off the record?
- Completely.
301
00:18:46,295 --> 00:18:49,016
- Let me call you on my encrypted phone.
- My number is blocked, so...
302
00:18:49,048 --> 00:18:51,384
This is Homeland Security.
I have your number.
303
00:18:58,433 --> 00:19:01,143
Incoming call.
Press the pickup bu...
304
00:19:01,227 --> 00:19:05,022
- Mr. Secretary.
- It's true. I resigned.
305
00:19:05,106 --> 00:19:06,775
Why are you still in the office?
306
00:19:06,858 --> 00:19:09,569
Punching the clock until
the White House wants to go public.
307
00:19:09,653 --> 00:19:12,196
Why wouldn't you go public yourself,
if you're so against the policy?
308
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,156
I serve at the pleasure
of the president.
309
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,119
I have Landry on background.
I'm writing about the resignation.
310
00:19:18,202 --> 00:19:21,122
And I can't stop you.
But there won't be a quote from me.
311
00:19:23,499 --> 00:19:25,710
Don't let the administration
off the hook.
312
00:19:25,794 --> 00:19:28,254
This an opportunity to speak out.
313
00:19:28,337 --> 00:19:30,172
You don't have the career I've had
314
00:19:30,256 --> 00:19:35,094
by criticizing your bosses publicly,
no matter how strongly you feel.
315
00:19:35,177 --> 00:19:37,263
Talk to Arnie Silva,
the FEMA Administrator.
316
00:19:37,346 --> 00:19:39,808
He's more disgusted
by all this than I am.
317
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:09,921
People's lives are in the balance.
And he doesn't care.
318
00:20:13,549 --> 00:20:15,802
Our projections
for the next 12 months.
319
00:20:17,595 --> 00:20:21,683
We're in a La Niña phase, which means
falling temperatures in the Pacific.
320
00:20:21,766 --> 00:20:24,895
We expect at least two
major landfalls this season.
321
00:20:24,977 --> 00:20:29,440
Homes destroyed, billions in damage,
tens of thousands without power.
322
00:20:29,524 --> 00:20:32,026
And that's just hurricanes.
If we get a major earthquake,
323
00:20:32,109 --> 00:20:34,028
or flood, or forest fire...
324
00:20:35,822 --> 00:20:38,407
It's all in there.
325
00:20:38,491 --> 00:20:39,868
Has he asked you to resign?
326
00:20:39,951 --> 00:20:42,370
He threatened it.
327
00:20:42,453 --> 00:20:44,915
But I said I'd cooperate.
328
00:20:44,997 --> 00:20:47,124
Why?
329
00:20:47,208 --> 00:20:50,294
Nobody has more experience.
330
00:20:50,378 --> 00:20:52,547
I couldn't forgive myself if I left.
331
00:20:52,630 --> 00:20:54,716
But you just said, if the Relief Fund
is depleted, then...
332
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:56,592
People will suffer.
333
00:20:57,969 --> 00:21:01,973
But on my watch, fewer will suffer.
334
00:21:02,056 --> 00:21:04,559
I need a quote, Mr. Silva.
335
00:21:04,642 --> 00:21:07,061
I can't do that.
336
00:21:07,144 --> 00:21:09,605
People could die,
you have a responsibility.
337
00:21:09,689 --> 00:21:13,275
The president has built
a culture of silence and fear.
338
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:14,694
That can end with you.
339
00:21:16,571 --> 00:21:20,575
That folder will speak louder
than anything I could say.
340
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:28,959
Two front page bylines
on the same day for Ms. Baldwin?
341
00:21:29,041 --> 00:21:31,711
You kicked out a pit bull
and you let in a dragon.
342
00:21:31,795 --> 00:21:34,035
I didn't think the Telegraph
would send someone like her.
343
00:21:34,088 --> 00:21:35,757
Well, maybe you just didn't think.
344
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,009
You wanted me
to implement discipline, sir.
345
00:21:38,092 --> 00:21:39,761
To send a message. And so I did.
346
00:21:39,844 --> 00:21:42,764
Well, they've sent back an even
stronger message, haven't they?
347
00:21:42,847 --> 00:21:44,599
I take responsibility for that, sir,
348
00:21:44,682 --> 00:21:46,392
and I will do my best
to keep her in line.
349
00:21:46,475 --> 00:21:48,394
Your best?
350
00:21:48,477 --> 00:21:50,814
It's their top bureau chief.
She's untouchable.
351
00:21:50,897 --> 00:21:53,817
I don't want to pretend that I can
control her 100 percent.
352
00:21:53,900 --> 00:21:55,986
- Travers?
- Denied speaking with her,
353
00:21:56,068 --> 00:21:59,196
but it must be him. I don't think
anybody else in the cabinet would.
354
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,907
Let's confirm his resignation.
355
00:22:00,991 --> 00:22:04,368
No point in keeping it a secret now.
Tell Steve he can vacate his office.
356
00:22:04,452 --> 00:22:05,703
And what about Silva?
357
00:22:05,787 --> 00:22:08,999
The details on the disaster projections
are very inside baseball.
358
00:22:09,081 --> 00:22:11,375
We can't fire him!
If there's a hurricane,
359
00:22:11,459 --> 00:22:14,670
he's the only guy that can keep
a disaster from becoming a catastrophe.
360
00:22:14,754 --> 00:22:17,339
- And what's Dunbar saying?
- Nothing yet, publicly.
361
00:22:17,423 --> 00:22:21,761
- She's probably letting this play out.
- Letting me dig my own grave.
362
00:22:23,178 --> 00:22:25,849
We have to sell America Works.
363
00:22:25,932 --> 00:22:28,225
It should sell itself
once we get people employed.
364
00:22:28,309 --> 00:22:30,519
Well, that's the idea,
but we don't stop there.
365
00:22:30,603 --> 00:22:33,982
- Commercials and billboards?
- On whose money?
366
00:22:34,065 --> 00:22:36,108
And even so, we need more than ad-buys.
367
00:22:36,191 --> 00:22:40,279
We need...
We need the philosophy behind it.
368
00:22:40,362 --> 00:22:43,992
We need something of substance.
We need something...
369
00:22:54,794 --> 00:22:58,923
We need something
that will capture the imagination.
370
00:23:00,257 --> 00:23:02,426
- Either of you play Monument Valley?
- What's that?
371
00:23:02,510 --> 00:23:04,310
- It's a video game.
- I don't play them, sir.
372
00:23:04,345 --> 00:23:06,105
I sold my Xbox on eBay.
It was too addictive.
373
00:23:06,180 --> 00:23:08,516
No, it's not a console game.
374
00:23:08,599 --> 00:23:11,811
You both read this and then tell me
that you wouldn't want to play this.
375
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:19,234
I'd say there's nine consultants in the
country who truly know foreign policy.
376
00:23:19,318 --> 00:23:20,904
Me, I'm number one.
377
00:23:20,987 --> 00:23:23,031
Me in a coma is number two.
378
00:23:23,114 --> 00:23:25,157
But that still leaves seven
who are cheaper.
379
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,912
I value good counsel, and I'm smart
enough to know what I don't know.
380
00:23:28,995 --> 00:23:31,081
What would be your assessment
of us so far?
381
00:23:31,163 --> 00:23:33,374
You're making a big stink
out of this Michael Corrigan thing,
382
00:23:33,457 --> 00:23:34,750
but that's just surface.
383
00:23:34,834 --> 00:23:37,294
You have to understand
why Corrigan got arrested.
384
00:23:37,378 --> 00:23:39,463
Petrov's appealing
to his traditional base.
385
00:23:39,547 --> 00:23:42,508
No. This is about the Jordan Valley.
386
00:23:42,591 --> 00:23:44,760
I don't follow.
387
00:23:44,844 --> 00:23:45,887
Retaliation.
388
00:23:45,970 --> 00:23:48,222
It goes back to the summit
a couple of months ago.
389
00:23:48,305 --> 00:23:52,727
Look, this... is the Jordan Valley.
390
00:23:55,229 --> 00:23:56,898
All right, hold on, I'll make it easier.
391
00:24:03,278 --> 00:24:05,197
That's the Valley. Right there.
392
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,076
Occupied by Israel since 1967,
it's been a major roadblock
393
00:24:08,159 --> 00:24:10,369
in any peace accord
with the Palestinians.
394
00:24:10,452 --> 00:24:13,330
Underwood sends peacekeeping troops,
the Israelis leave,
395
00:24:13,414 --> 00:24:16,126
- the Palestinians are happy.
- It's not that simple.
396
00:24:16,208 --> 00:24:19,211
Everyone gets hung up on this
little patch of land ten miles by 40,
397
00:24:19,294 --> 00:24:22,798
but you have to look outwards,
past Jordan and Syria, past Iraq.
398
00:24:22,882 --> 00:24:28,179
Here... to the Caucasus.
That's Russia's sphere of influence.
399
00:24:28,262 --> 00:24:31,099
They don't see the peacekeeping force
as a Middle East issue.
400
00:24:31,182 --> 00:24:33,225
They see it as strategic
deployment of US troops
401
00:24:33,308 --> 00:24:35,429
less than a thousand miles
from their southern border.
402
00:24:35,477 --> 00:24:38,148
So you're saying Corrigan's a pawn,
a play for leverage?
403
00:24:38,230 --> 00:24:39,857
More of a first salvo.
404
00:24:39,941 --> 00:24:42,401
Moscow wants to show it's serious
about fighting this resolution.
405
00:24:42,484 --> 00:24:44,319
Now, if I had to guess,
406
00:24:44,403 --> 00:24:47,281
Underwood tried to bring Russia
into the mix during the summit.
407
00:24:47,364 --> 00:24:50,868
Get involved early on as partners.
And when Petrov didn't play ball,
408
00:24:50,952 --> 00:24:54,580
Underwood went on the offensive,
which is a huge gamble.
409
00:24:54,663 --> 00:24:57,541
- Tell me how.
- Nobody wants UN troops there.
410
00:24:57,625 --> 00:25:00,294
Not the Israelis,
not the Palestinians, not the Arabs.
411
00:25:00,377 --> 00:25:02,880
They're playing along
because the US is pressuring them.
412
00:25:02,964 --> 00:25:04,840
But just one little thing
needs to go wrong,
413
00:25:04,924 --> 00:25:07,969
and you've got a tinderbox
where everyone's holding matches.
414
00:25:08,052 --> 00:25:11,346
So why is he following
this course of action at all?
415
00:25:11,973 --> 00:25:13,474
Because he's smart.
416
00:25:13,557 --> 00:25:15,559
- You just said...
- He's being too smart.
417
00:25:15,643 --> 00:25:19,105
If it pays off, hey,
he wins a Nobel Prize. But...
418
00:25:20,982 --> 00:25:24,902
if it backfires,
he leaves himself wide open.
419
00:25:24,986 --> 00:25:26,737
And that's when you need
to hit him hard.
420
00:25:26,821 --> 00:25:29,949
A disastrous foreign policy
that made the world more dangerous.
421
00:25:30,033 --> 00:25:32,618
And he had his wife
with zero foreign policy experience
422
00:25:32,701 --> 00:25:35,746
- lead the goddamn charge.
- I'd like to bring you aboard, Joe.
423
00:25:35,830 --> 00:25:38,249
- When can you start?
- I believe I already did.
424
00:25:38,332 --> 00:25:40,417
I'll get the paperwork
over to you later today.
425
00:25:40,501 --> 00:25:42,253
Let me ask, who referred me?
426
00:25:42,336 --> 00:25:45,215
- You have quite a reputation.
- Yeah, for being an asshole.
427
00:25:45,297 --> 00:25:47,508
Somebody you respect
must have recommended me highly.
428
00:25:47,591 --> 00:25:50,886
- A former Underwood staffer.
- I never worked with any of his people.
429
00:25:50,970 --> 00:25:53,264
Which is one of the reasons
he recommended you.
430
00:25:53,347 --> 00:25:54,640
Touché.
431
00:25:58,186 --> 00:25:59,854
What is this?
432
00:25:59,937 --> 00:26:02,232
A list of the Russian officials
who will be sanctioned
433
00:26:02,314 --> 00:26:04,525
if you sell a single truckload
of arms to Iran.
434
00:26:04,608 --> 00:26:06,819
I didn't even make the top ten.
435
00:26:06,902 --> 00:26:09,780
These sanctions can and will escalate.
436
00:26:09,864 --> 00:26:11,699
And then what?
437
00:26:11,782 --> 00:26:14,285
We'd build a coalition
to impose their own sanctions.
438
00:26:14,368 --> 00:26:15,744
And then what?
439
00:26:15,828 --> 00:26:20,708
Alexi, you know what an economic
crisis that would be for Russia.
440
00:26:20,791 --> 00:26:23,002
Like the trade war you waged with China?
441
00:26:23,086 --> 00:26:26,964
Except in our case, only three percent
of exports go to the US.
442
00:26:27,048 --> 00:26:28,924
And Europe needs our natural gas.
443
00:26:29,008 --> 00:26:32,136
They won't forfeit that over
a few short-range missiles to Iran.
444
00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:35,681
You don't want to challenge us
on the armament of a terrorist state.
445
00:26:35,764 --> 00:26:38,017
We'll never be presented
with that problem.
446
00:26:38,101 --> 00:26:40,228
You can't assure the Israelis
you'll provide troops.
447
00:26:40,311 --> 00:26:43,480
The president doesn't have
the support of either party in Congress.
448
00:26:43,564 --> 00:26:46,483
No troops, no Israel.
No Israel, no consensus.
449
00:26:46,567 --> 00:26:49,153
No consensus, no resolution.
450
00:26:51,072 --> 00:26:53,574
I will get this resolution passed.
451
00:26:53,657 --> 00:26:57,245
Don't underestimate my ability
or desire to do so.
452
00:26:57,328 --> 00:26:59,914
I've indulged your
enthusiasm long enough.
453
00:26:59,997 --> 00:27:01,798
You've bit off more
than you can chew, Claire.
454
00:27:01,832 --> 00:27:03,167
Leave this to the professionals
455
00:27:03,251 --> 00:27:06,087
and let your little resolution
die a painless death.
456
00:27:06,170 --> 00:27:09,215
The truth is, you have
no business being ambassador
457
00:27:09,299 --> 00:27:11,425
any more than I do being First Lady.
458
00:27:20,268 --> 00:27:22,019
That's a very nice dress, by the way.
459
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,942
"She stabbed the floor with a broom.
460
00:27:28,025 --> 00:27:30,778
Karaoke every Wednesday.
461
00:27:30,861 --> 00:27:35,325
Some tone-deaf drunk girl
mutilating Britney Spears.
462
00:27:35,407 --> 00:27:38,244
She knew they couldn't hear
the broom in the bar below.
463
00:27:38,328 --> 00:27:42,414
But we all need a ritual,
and this was hers.
464
00:27:42,497 --> 00:27:44,583
Three short thrusts, wood on wood,
465
00:27:44,666 --> 00:27:48,296
a hollow sound
which accomplished nothing.
466
00:27:48,379 --> 00:27:50,173
David would be home soon.
467
00:27:50,256 --> 00:27:53,592
'It's too hot, ' he'd say.
She opened the window.
468
00:27:53,675 --> 00:27:57,888
The music was so loud,
she couldn't ignore it."
469
00:28:09,192 --> 00:28:10,692
Here.
470
00:28:13,695 --> 00:28:15,072
Aren't you gonna buy the new one?
471
00:28:15,156 --> 00:28:17,658
I will, on my Kindle.
But will you please sign this?
472
00:28:19,118 --> 00:28:22,413
- Who should I make it out to?
- Lesley. L-E-S-L-E-Y.
473
00:28:23,247 --> 00:28:25,582
Scorpio totally changed my life.
474
00:28:25,666 --> 00:28:29,295
The energy and the anger...
It's my favorite book of yours.
475
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:31,422
Probably my favorite book, period.
476
00:28:33,132 --> 00:28:35,634
- Make sure you read the new one.
- Yes.
477
00:28:39,554 --> 00:28:40,931
Who should I make it out to?
478
00:28:48,730 --> 00:28:51,359
It's a perversion of the Stafford Act
and you know it.
479
00:28:51,442 --> 00:28:54,569
It's a reading of the Stafford Act.
We read it differently.
480
00:28:54,653 --> 00:28:58,490
You can't just raid funds that Congress
appropriated for a specific use,
481
00:28:58,573 --> 00:29:00,909
- then use them however you want.
- Clearly, I can.
482
00:29:00,993 --> 00:29:03,329
This is a direct challenge
to Congress, Mr. President.
483
00:29:03,413 --> 00:29:05,956
Bob and I have agreed.
Both parties will fight you on this.
484
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,959
Well, at least I'm
cultivating bipartisanship.
485
00:29:09,043 --> 00:29:12,921
Gentlemen, I don't want to do this,
but what choice have you left me?
486
00:29:13,005 --> 00:29:14,840
Our branch is here to check yours.
487
00:29:14,923 --> 00:29:17,260
If we didn't feel America Works
warranted taxpayer money,
488
00:29:17,343 --> 00:29:19,761
- then it's not fit to be law.
- Now, look.
489
00:29:19,845 --> 00:29:22,265
This is the first time
that the leaders of both parties
490
00:29:22,348 --> 00:29:23,807
have met with me in one room,
491
00:29:23,891 --> 00:29:26,394
and not because I didn't invite you,
because you declined.
492
00:29:26,477 --> 00:29:29,439
So, now that we're here,
let's make the most of it.
493
00:29:29,521 --> 00:29:31,023
I'm willing to walk back on FEMA
494
00:29:31,106 --> 00:29:33,317
if we can discuss
putting AmWorks on the floor.
495
00:29:33,401 --> 00:29:35,944
- You bullied us on the Education Bill.
- And the government freeze.
496
00:29:36,028 --> 00:29:37,488
It's not gonna work this time.
497
00:29:37,571 --> 00:29:39,907
You watch it work
and then tell me it didn't.
498
00:29:39,990 --> 00:29:42,951
We're drafting a law,
saying this use of the DRF is illegal.
499
00:29:43,035 --> 00:29:44,786
And who's going to enforce that law?
500
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:47,164
We were ready to impeach one president.
501
00:29:47,248 --> 00:29:49,666
We'll do the same with you if necessary.
502
00:29:49,750 --> 00:29:53,962
And put Donald Blythe in this office?
You know he's not up for the job.
503
00:29:54,046 --> 00:29:56,173
Congress would get killed
for malpractice.
504
00:29:56,257 --> 00:29:58,509
As crooked as you may think I am,
505
00:29:58,592 --> 00:30:01,387
you know I can handle the pressure,
and you know Donald can't.
506
00:30:01,471 --> 00:30:04,723
So pass your law, I'll veto it.
And when you overrule me in the Senate,
507
00:30:04,806 --> 00:30:06,808
we'll let the third branch decide.
508
00:30:06,892 --> 00:30:09,437
Don't declare war on Congress,
Mr. President.
509
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,482
Not on Congress.
I'm declaring war on atrophy.
510
00:30:12,564 --> 00:30:15,276
But these days,
who could tell the difference?
511
00:30:36,380 --> 00:30:39,091
Oh! Oh...
512
00:30:57,401 --> 00:30:59,403
Oh...
513
00:31:14,626 --> 00:31:16,546
- So how about this?
- Hm?
514
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,966
I'll order a pizza.
515
00:31:21,049 --> 00:31:23,635
When it gets here,
I bring it into this room...
516
00:31:25,053 --> 00:31:27,431
with a paper towel
draped over my arm.
517
00:31:27,515 --> 00:31:31,143
Voilà. Just like... room service.
518
00:31:31,226 --> 00:31:33,521
You don't let your kids eat pizza.
519
00:31:33,604 --> 00:31:36,524
Well, because I've seen
what it does to a carotid artery.
520
00:31:37,441 --> 00:31:40,152
- And you're not my kids.
- Mm...
521
00:31:43,364 --> 00:31:45,199
Do you think they like me?
522
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:50,245
They adore you.
523
00:31:51,414 --> 00:31:54,082
Matt asked if you could teach him
how to drive.
524
00:31:54,166 --> 00:31:55,376
- Really?
- Yeah.
525
00:31:55,459 --> 00:31:57,169
He says you'd be less judgmental.
526
00:32:03,384 --> 00:32:05,428
Do you want to get married?
527
00:32:09,557 --> 00:32:11,434
To you, or in general?
528
00:32:14,478 --> 00:32:16,480
I'm serious.
529
00:32:19,983 --> 00:32:22,612
So where'd this come from?
530
00:32:22,694 --> 00:32:25,072
- We've talked about it.
- Hm...
531
00:32:25,155 --> 00:32:27,617
We say "I love you."
532
00:32:28,867 --> 00:32:31,786
I want a husband.
You want a wife.
533
00:32:33,581 --> 00:32:36,708
This works, the two of us,
don't you think?
534
00:32:38,586 --> 00:32:41,963
- It's very romantic.
- Aren't we past romance?
535
00:32:42,047 --> 00:32:43,840
I bought you a ring.
536
00:32:46,510 --> 00:32:48,638
Why didn't you say anything?
537
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,432
It's the element of surprise.
538
00:32:51,515 --> 00:32:53,601
That's kind of the point, isn't it?
539
00:32:54,602 --> 00:32:57,354
It's in my glove compartment.
I can go get it if you want.
540
00:32:59,147 --> 00:33:01,816
No, I want you to order the pizza.
541
00:33:03,985 --> 00:33:06,238
We can do the whole ring thing tomorrow.
542
00:33:23,631 --> 00:33:25,716
- Hey.
- Hey.
543
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:27,884
When did you get in?
544
00:33:27,968 --> 00:33:30,638
- Couple of hours ago.
- Well, come and sit down.
545
00:33:30,721 --> 00:33:34,057
I feel like I haven't seen you for what,
has it been three days?
546
00:33:34,141 --> 00:33:35,726
Four, I think.
547
00:33:35,809 --> 00:33:38,437
It's just all been a big blur.
548
00:33:38,521 --> 00:33:39,813
Mm. Same in New York.
549
00:33:39,896 --> 00:33:43,984
- Any luck?
- They're like a broken record, Francis.
550
00:33:44,067 --> 00:33:46,403
Do I need to call the prime minister?
551
00:33:46,487 --> 00:33:49,072
Oh, I think it's gonna take more
than a phone call.
552
00:33:49,156 --> 00:33:52,409
- Tell me.
- That's not why I'm here, actually.
553
00:33:55,412 --> 00:33:57,038
Hang on, hang on.
554
00:33:58,165 --> 00:34:01,585
So much has been going on in the past
few months, we hardly have time to talk.
555
00:34:01,669 --> 00:34:03,504
Here, use this.
556
00:34:05,715 --> 00:34:09,259
I feel bad about the other night
when you wanted to sleep in my bed.
557
00:34:09,343 --> 00:34:11,470
Oh, that. You shouldn't.
558
00:34:11,554 --> 00:34:13,472
I just...
559
00:34:13,556 --> 00:34:15,390
I don't know why
I started sleeping in there.
560
00:34:15,474 --> 00:34:18,852
Well, if I remember correctly,
you had a cold.
561
00:34:18,935 --> 00:34:21,355
But why I stayed.
562
00:34:21,438 --> 00:34:23,398
You don't have to explain.
563
00:34:26,026 --> 00:34:28,666
I want you to know that I love you.
It has nothing to do with that.
564
00:34:28,738 --> 00:34:30,905
I love you... as much as ever.
565
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:36,161
Not another word.
566
00:34:40,290 --> 00:34:42,710
Let's finish talking about Israel
in the morning.
567
00:34:44,795 --> 00:34:47,005
You said more than a phone call?
568
00:34:49,466 --> 00:34:52,969
They need it in stone, Francis,
that we'll contribute troops.
569
00:34:53,053 --> 00:34:55,806
- An executive order.
- Congress won't be happy.
570
00:34:55,889 --> 00:34:57,641
Well, they're already not happy.
571
00:34:57,725 --> 00:35:00,519
I spat in one eye,
I might as well spit in the other.
572
00:35:00,603 --> 00:35:01,936
Consider it done.
573
00:35:09,820 --> 00:35:12,072
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
574
00:35:12,155 --> 00:35:14,533
Thank you so much. Thank you.
575
00:35:14,617 --> 00:35:16,368
Thank you. Oh, sure.
576
00:35:21,415 --> 00:35:24,334
Did you get it?
577
00:35:24,418 --> 00:35:26,378
Thank you. Thank you so much.
578
00:35:26,461 --> 00:35:28,963
Thank you.
Thank you for your support.
579
00:35:29,047 --> 00:35:31,925
- Thank you, sir.
- I liked your speech, Ms. Dunbar.
580
00:35:32,008 --> 00:35:34,804
- And I've heard more than a few.
- I appreciate you saying that, sir.
581
00:35:34,886 --> 00:35:36,513
I know Iowans aren't easily impressed.
582
00:35:36,597 --> 00:35:38,515
What you said about integrity?
583
00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:41,393
Well, if you can bring that
to Washington, I'll caucus for you.
584
00:35:41,476 --> 00:35:43,729
One supporter at a time.
That's how we'll win this.
585
00:35:43,813 --> 00:35:47,775
And that young man? I feel for him.
He's an inspiring individual.
586
00:35:47,858 --> 00:35:49,693
John, there's someone
I want you to meet.
587
00:35:49,777 --> 00:35:51,278
- Your name, sir?
- Clive Reynolds.
588
00:35:51,361 --> 00:35:54,657
- Mr. Reynolds, nice to meet you.
- I'm praying for your husband.
589
00:35:54,740 --> 00:35:57,743
- It's awful he's still stuck there.
- Stamper's in the cafeteria.
590
00:35:57,827 --> 00:35:59,953
Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.
Thank you.
591
00:36:00,036 --> 00:36:02,581
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for coming out.
592
00:36:14,468 --> 00:36:16,219
You could've just called.
593
00:36:16,303 --> 00:36:19,306
I hate July Fourth in DC.
594
00:36:19,389 --> 00:36:21,141
Plus, I wanted to see you in action.
595
00:36:21,224 --> 00:36:23,017
What'd you think?
596
00:36:23,101 --> 00:36:25,145
I need her to leave.
597
00:36:30,734 --> 00:36:32,736
I'll meet you at the car.
598
00:36:34,404 --> 00:36:35,989
- Heather...
- Cynthia.
599
00:36:57,761 --> 00:36:59,513
Read that.
600
00:37:10,023 --> 00:37:13,360
Mrs. Underwood asked me to destroy it.
601
00:37:13,443 --> 00:37:15,153
- I didn't.
- You should have.
602
00:37:15,236 --> 00:37:17,197
She lied on national television.
603
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,574
I am not running that sort of campaign.
604
00:37:22,369 --> 00:37:24,078
But it's good to know it's available.
605
00:37:24,162 --> 00:37:28,918
I would never do that to another woman,
and neither would Cynthia.
606
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,420
Hm. Cynthia was a good choice
for your manager.
607
00:37:32,504 --> 00:37:35,173
She'll run a top-notch operation.
608
00:37:35,256 --> 00:37:37,257
But you need someone
who's willing to do the things
609
00:37:37,258 --> 00:37:39,052
that people like her won't do.
610
00:37:39,135 --> 00:37:41,764
When you asked me for a job,
611
00:37:41,847 --> 00:37:44,892
you said you wanted
to turn over a new leaf.
612
00:37:44,975 --> 00:37:48,186
I have a certain skill set,
Ms. Dunbar.
613
00:37:48,269 --> 00:37:52,482
For me, turning over a new leaf
is using my skills for the right reasons.
614
00:37:52,566 --> 00:37:54,442
Like putting you in office.
615
00:37:54,526 --> 00:37:58,029
One-fifty.
One point on the ad-buy.
616
00:37:59,698 --> 00:38:02,033
No points.
617
00:38:02,116 --> 00:38:06,329
But I'll do a hundred thousand win bonus
if we get the nomination.
618
00:38:20,468 --> 00:38:22,512
I hope I came over here
for some good news.
619
00:38:25,766 --> 00:38:27,726
I'm in. You can tell the president.
620
00:38:27,810 --> 00:38:29,603
August 19th.
621
00:38:29,686 --> 00:38:31,647
We wanted you to announce
a lot earlier than that.
622
00:38:31,688 --> 00:38:35,066
No, not the announcement. This.
623
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:40,655
Cardiology's good money.
624
00:38:40,739 --> 00:38:44,034
Aren't you gonna say congrats?
625
00:38:44,117 --> 00:38:46,620
I've never seen you be this girly.
626
00:38:46,703 --> 00:38:49,456
It's a fucking diamond.
I'm allowed to be a little girly.
627
00:38:49,539 --> 00:38:52,292
Congratulations.
I'm happy for you both.
628
00:38:52,375 --> 00:38:53,836
Are you?
629
00:38:57,672 --> 00:39:00,550
Sorry. That wasn't fair.
630
00:39:00,634 --> 00:39:03,762
Maybe we should talk about dates
for announcing the campaign.
631
00:39:03,846 --> 00:39:06,849
Yeah, I have a few ideas.
Let me pull up my calendar.
632
00:39:09,059 --> 00:39:10,685
Um...
633
00:39:11,812 --> 00:39:14,648
Week after next seems
to be the best option.
634
00:39:14,731 --> 00:39:15,983
You have plans tonight?
635
00:39:17,525 --> 00:39:19,028
For the fireworks?
636
00:39:20,236 --> 00:39:22,572
Alan and I are taking his kids.
637
00:39:23,740 --> 00:39:25,617
Right. Makes sense.
638
00:39:29,329 --> 00:39:33,207
You were saying,
about a week after next?
639
00:39:50,017 --> 00:39:53,186
- The Ambassador's inside.
- You want me to go in there?
640
00:39:53,269 --> 00:39:56,815
She's just putting on makeup.
641
00:39:56,899 --> 00:39:58,733
I can wait until she comes out.
642
00:39:58,817 --> 00:40:01,736
She's going straight to her plane.
If you don't mind.
643
00:40:07,951 --> 00:40:09,285
Alexi.
644
00:40:16,751 --> 00:40:19,838
The day got away from me,
so I have to head down to DC
645
00:40:19,922 --> 00:40:22,173
for the July Fourth celebration.
646
00:40:22,256 --> 00:40:25,010
You may consider me
an ambassador from the men's room.
647
00:40:26,344 --> 00:40:28,805
Don't make me laugh.
I'll have to start over.
648
00:40:31,432 --> 00:40:34,811
- Good?
- Quite.
649
00:40:34,895 --> 00:40:37,647
Alexi, I think we've gotten off
on the wrong foot.
650
00:40:37,731 --> 00:40:40,233
We need to find a better way
to work together.
651
00:40:40,316 --> 00:40:42,694
You're letting go of the resolution?
652
00:40:44,571 --> 00:40:47,032
- Eyes?
- Perfect.
653
00:40:47,116 --> 00:40:49,325
It's always nice
to have a man's opinion.
654
00:40:50,077 --> 00:40:51,870
You were right, by the way.
655
00:40:51,954 --> 00:40:54,372
Israel won't back us
unless we commit troops.
656
00:40:54,455 --> 00:40:57,876
You called my bluff, Alexi,
and I shouldn't have insulted you
657
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,545
- with one in the first place.
- I'll be outside when you finish.
658
00:41:00,628 --> 00:41:03,297
The president signed
an Executive Order this morning.
659
00:41:04,674 --> 00:41:07,802
Five thousand US military reassigned
660
00:41:07,886 --> 00:41:10,805
to permanent standby
for UN Peacekeeping operations.
661
00:41:10,889 --> 00:41:12,807
Jerusalem has been informed.
662
00:41:12,891 --> 00:41:15,018
Your husband doesn't have
that kind of authority.
663
00:41:15,102 --> 00:41:17,854
It's occupied territory.
He's not deploying on sovereign land.
664
00:41:17,938 --> 00:41:23,193
So, as Commander in Chief,
he doesn't need Congressional approval.
665
00:41:23,276 --> 00:41:27,614
Israel's back on board again, Alexi,
so the moment you sell arms to Iran,
666
00:41:27,697 --> 00:41:30,784
we will shoot the planes out of the sky,
the trucks off the road,
667
00:41:30,867 --> 00:41:32,702
and the ships out of the water.
668
00:41:32,786 --> 00:41:38,041
Now... maybe you'd be able
to afford sanctions...
669
00:41:39,209 --> 00:41:42,253
...but you sure as hell
can't afford a war.
670
00:41:42,336 --> 00:41:45,381
Come back to the table.
Engage us in good faith.
671
00:41:45,465 --> 00:41:47,176
Or the resolution goes
to a vote next week.
672
00:41:47,258 --> 00:41:49,886
I have always been willing to talk.
673
00:41:51,013 --> 00:41:53,932
Not you and I.
President to president.
674
00:41:54,016 --> 00:41:56,893
Oh, and we need Michael Corrigan
released, also.
675
00:42:00,605 --> 00:42:02,732
I'll communicate your message to Moscow.
676
00:42:02,816 --> 00:42:05,152
Please.
Hand me a towel, would you?
677
00:42:11,783 --> 00:42:13,451
What a gentleman.
678
00:42:24,838 --> 00:42:27,049
You ever been to the White House before?
679
00:42:27,132 --> 00:42:29,300
When I won the National Book Award.
680
00:42:29,383 --> 00:42:32,054
- Nancy was a fan.
- I'm surprised.
681
00:42:32,137 --> 00:42:35,140
That story doesn't exactly
revere family values.
682
00:42:35,224 --> 00:42:36,766
She's got the astrologer in her.
683
00:42:36,850 --> 00:42:39,019
I think she liked the title
more than anything.
684
00:42:39,102 --> 00:42:41,146
Scorpio was a very good book.
685
00:42:41,230 --> 00:42:44,440
- Still pays the rent.
- Have a seat.
686
00:42:44,524 --> 00:42:46,693
Why am I here, Mr. President?
687
00:42:46,776 --> 00:42:49,071
Remy briefed you.
688
00:42:49,154 --> 00:42:51,990
He said you needed a book.
He didn't say about what.
689
00:42:52,074 --> 00:42:55,702
America Works.
Not just the policy, but the origins.
690
00:42:55,785 --> 00:42:58,496
How a boy grew up
in a dirt-poor shithole
691
00:42:58,579 --> 00:43:00,790
and climbed his way out
through hard work.
692
00:43:00,874 --> 00:43:04,544
A story of dignity.
The pride that comes with one's labor.
693
00:43:04,627 --> 00:43:07,672
- Propaganda.
- You could call it that.
694
00:43:07,755 --> 00:43:11,009
This sort of thing...
it's not in my wheelhouse.
695
00:43:11,093 --> 00:43:13,761
You need a salesman, not a novelist.
696
00:43:15,138 --> 00:43:19,184
"Whoever you are,
whoever you think you are,
697
00:43:19,268 --> 00:43:23,521
believe that you're
also a silent princess.
698
00:43:23,604 --> 00:43:26,149
Your name is Ida.
699
00:43:26,233 --> 00:43:29,527
Your journey is one
through a forgotten landscape
700
00:43:29,610 --> 00:43:32,906
of twisting staircases
and morphing castles,
701
00:43:32,989 --> 00:43:37,451
atop floating stones
defiantly crossing an angry sea,
702
00:43:37,535 --> 00:43:41,789
within dimly-lit caverns
cobwebbed with ruins
703
00:43:41,873 --> 00:43:45,919
M.C. Escher could
only grasp at in a dream state."
704
00:43:46,002 --> 00:43:48,379
You read my video game reviews?
705
00:43:48,462 --> 00:43:51,841
I tend to play shoot-'em-ups.
The indie games don't really interest me.
706
00:43:51,925 --> 00:43:56,512
I need adrenaline and action.
But when I read this, I had to try it.
707
00:43:56,596 --> 00:44:00,558
If you can convince me to be a silent
princess with just a hundred words,
708
00:44:00,641 --> 00:44:03,561
imagine how many millions
you can convince with this book.
709
00:44:03,644 --> 00:44:05,855
You are a salesman, Thomas.
710
00:44:05,939 --> 00:44:09,359
I wasn't trying to sell anything.
Just describe my experience.
711
00:44:09,442 --> 00:44:11,442
That's exactly what I want you to do
with my story.
712
00:44:11,485 --> 00:44:14,572
No sales pitch,
just your honest curiosity.
713
00:44:14,655 --> 00:44:18,285
Besides, these kinds of books
are always so boring, so safe.
714
00:44:18,368 --> 00:44:22,289
I want something different,
something... unique.
715
00:44:22,372 --> 00:44:24,498
Your voice.
716
00:44:24,582 --> 00:44:27,127
I don't even know if I believe
in your program.
717
00:44:28,295 --> 00:44:30,213
Come with me.
I want to show you something.
718
00:45:13,547 --> 00:45:16,050
You build it and they come.
719
00:45:16,134 --> 00:45:20,054
Today, the Washington Mall
is the real Field of Dreams.
720
00:45:20,138 --> 00:45:23,724
Three thousand people have registered
since we set up shop this morning.
721
00:45:23,808 --> 00:45:26,311
Now that's what I call
a Fourth of July party!
722
00:45:26,395 --> 00:45:29,897
And we're gonna keep the party going
'round the clock, 24/7,
723
00:45:29,981 --> 00:45:33,443
till everyone in DC who wants a job
724
00:45:33,526 --> 00:45:36,612
can make their way
down here and sign up.
725
00:45:43,370 --> 00:45:44,829
Have a look.
726
00:45:47,290 --> 00:45:51,461
- Do you see that line of people?
- The AmWorks tent.
727
00:45:51,544 --> 00:45:54,256
It stretches from there all the way
to the Lincoln Memorial.
728
00:45:54,339 --> 00:45:56,757
They started lining up before sunrise.
729
00:45:58,009 --> 00:45:59,593
It's really something.
730
00:45:59,677 --> 00:46:02,222
Thomas, at best,
I'm going to be a footnote in history
731
00:46:02,305 --> 00:46:04,765
if I can't help those people.
At worst, I'll be a joke.
732
00:46:04,849 --> 00:46:06,476
I am those people.
733
00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:09,229
I want you to tell that story.
734
00:46:09,312 --> 00:46:11,356
What do you say?
735
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,484
- I don't know.
- What's your gut say?
736
00:46:14,567 --> 00:46:18,571
That you don't add up,
and I'm intrigued.
737
00:46:18,654 --> 00:46:20,740
- But not sold.
- Not yet.
738
00:46:20,823 --> 00:46:22,825
Well, I'll pay you well,
and at the very least,
739
00:46:22,909 --> 00:46:25,245
this sort of access
is worth its weight in gold, isn't it?
740
00:46:25,328 --> 00:46:26,455
Sir, the First Lady's back.
741
00:46:26,537 --> 00:46:29,123
I have to go give my Fourth of July
speech before the fireworks.
742
00:46:29,207 --> 00:46:31,376
- How quickly would you need the book?
- By January.
743
00:46:31,460 --> 00:46:33,794
I've never written anything
in less than a year.
744
00:46:33,878 --> 00:46:37,048
Well, you don't strike me as someone
who shies away from a challenge.
745
00:46:38,716 --> 00:46:40,760
I'd need to be able to write it
the way I want to write it.
746
00:46:40,843 --> 00:46:43,930
Absolutely. Look, take your time.
Enjoy the view.
747
00:46:44,013 --> 00:46:45,848
Meechum will show you out
when you're done.
748
00:46:45,932 --> 00:46:49,643
And I promise, if you say yes,
you won't regret it.
749
00:46:52,021 --> 00:46:55,317
No writer worth his salt
can resist a good story,
750
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:59,488
just as no politician can resist
making promises he can't keep.
751
00:47:07,578 --> 00:47:10,998
Viktor, we'd be honored
to accept the invitation.
752
00:47:11,082 --> 00:47:14,043
Yes, I agree,
there's much to discuss.
753
00:47:14,127 --> 00:47:16,879
I'll have my office reach out
to the Kremlin.
754
00:47:16,963 --> 00:47:18,965
We'll find dates
that work for both of us.
755
00:47:20,674 --> 00:47:22,385
Thank you.
756
00:47:22,469 --> 00:47:25,179
Well, you should get some sleep.
It's late over there.
757
00:47:26,389 --> 00:47:28,015
Good night.
758
00:47:29,100 --> 00:47:30,810
Hold off on the vote?
759
00:47:30,893 --> 00:47:34,272
Until we sit down.
But we keep it in our back pocket.
760
00:47:34,356 --> 00:47:35,898
Michael Corrigan?
761
00:47:35,982 --> 00:47:38,692
They're going to release him
when we visit.
762
00:47:38,776 --> 00:47:41,070
You made a miracle happen.
763
00:47:41,154 --> 00:47:42,655
We did.
764
00:47:51,414 --> 00:47:54,417
...each unique citizen
contributes to our future.
765
00:47:54,501 --> 00:47:56,043
Can you turn that up?
766
00:47:56,127 --> 00:47:58,671
Our forefathers,
when they declared independence,
767
00:47:58,754 --> 00:48:01,757
understood the power
of the individual,
768
00:48:01,841 --> 00:48:04,635
the value of self-determination.
769
00:48:04,718 --> 00:48:06,846
They freed us from tyranny.
770
00:48:06,929 --> 00:48:08,557
- They proved...
- He is a tyrant.
771
00:48:08,639 --> 00:48:10,519
I don't know,
there's a lot of people out there.
772
00:48:10,559 --> 00:48:11,851
He might be onto something.
773
00:48:11,934 --> 00:48:14,145
Executive Order for UN troops?
He's out of control.
774
00:48:14,228 --> 00:48:16,689
At least he's doing something.
Walker didn't do shit.
775
00:48:16,772 --> 00:48:19,442
I think we replaced a dud
with an atom bomb.
776
00:48:19,526 --> 00:48:22,529
They had to fight
to secure their freedom.
777
00:48:22,612 --> 00:48:25,656
And now we have to fight to maintain it.
778
00:48:25,739 --> 00:48:27,950
The freedom to work.
779
00:48:28,034 --> 00:48:30,703
The freedom to live with dignity.
780
00:48:30,786 --> 00:48:33,164
The freedom to hope.
781
00:48:33,247 --> 00:48:37,668
Thank you, and God bless
the United States of America.
782
00:49:25,136 --> 00:51:45,559
