00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Ripped By mstoll
2
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,648
"Title One of the Stafford Act:
3
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,451
"Emergency means any
occasion or instance
4
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,444
"for which, in the determination
of the President..."
5
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,922
Determined by the President.
Any instance!
6
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,490
As long as we can
make the argument that
7
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,801
this saves lives and
protects health and safety.
8
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,450
Well, unemployment
leads to crime,
9
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,683
to malnutrition,
to improper medical care.
10
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,127
There's no doubt it'll be
challenged in the courts.
11
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,009
Well, even so, by the
time that happens,
12
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,560
people will see what
America Works looks like.
13
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,531
Tell me, in your legal opinion,
14
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,648
is there enough leeway here?
15
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,686
Yes. The language
is sufficiently vague.
16
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,730
But just to be clear, this
is completely unorthodox.
17
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,644
No president has ever tried to
re-appropriate funds this way.
18
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,246
Thank you, gentlemen.
That's all I need.
19
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,529
FRANCIS: The states won't go for this.
Too radical.
20
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,001
And if I call just one
governor who says, "No,"
21
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,730
and leaks it to the press,
22
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,282
Congress will be on my ass before
I get this out of the gates.
23
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,442
But the District of Columbia...
24
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,806
No governor.
25
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,360
Just you, the mayor.
26
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,681
Now, Barney, I know this
puts you out on a ledge...
27
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,489
I love it.
28
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,841
I love everything about it.
29
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:51,448
We have to fight Congress for every
dollar in our budget each year.
30
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,161
If my people see me take the
money they won't give us...
31
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,605
Well, I just
won re-election.
32
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,001
This is why you put a brawler
like Barney Hull in office,
33
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,003
aside from paying a debt.
34
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,527
Add up 50 governors
and 535 members of Congress,
35
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,002
you don't come close to the
gumption of one bold mayor.
36
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,243
I want people registering for
jobs in every part of the city,
37
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,290
as soon as possible, before the
court challenges bubble up.
38
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,011
What about one big tent?
Right in front of the Capitol.
39
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,923
Make Congress
see the people line up
40
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,923
all the way back
to the Lincoln Memorial.
41
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,128
Can we do something by July 4th?
42
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,124
You bring the fireworks,
I'll bring the people.
43
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,925
Good morning.
Please sit.
44
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,082
I know Remy has
just briefed you all.
45
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,447
So, aside from the Secretary
of Homeland Security,
46
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,045
who is no longer with us,
47
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,930
does anyone else
object to this plan?
48
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,001
Good.
49
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,570
Until a new Secretary
is confirmed,
50
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,130
FEMA will report directly to me.
51
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,850
Thank you all very much.
52
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,366
Little John secure.
53
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,243
SILVA: Unemployment doesn't constitute
a natural disaster, Mr President.
54
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,288
The Stafford Act
gives me full authority
55
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,249
to define an emergency.
56
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,891
But, sir, we've only got
about $3 billion left
57
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,086
in the Disaster Relief Fund,
58
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,924
and we're about to go
into hurricane season...
59
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,570
So, we use the $3 billion
that's there,
60
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,371
and if a hurricane hits,
Congress replenishes the funds,
61
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,886
just as they always do.
62
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,850
When it comes to a disaster,
every hour counts, sir.
63
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,604
If we're waiting around for
Congress to pass a bill...
64
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,445
Mr Silva, this is
moving forward.
65
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,170
People could die, Mr President.
66
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,686
People are dying, because
they don't have jobs.
67
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,207
Slower than a flood or an earthquake,
but dying just the same.
68
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:45,284
You can't compare unemployment
to a Cat 4 hurricane.
69
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:49,001
I came to your office because I
want this to remain your office.
70
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,367
There's a reason that three
presidents have kept you here.
71
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,886
You're dedicated.
You're relentless.
72
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,485
You're exceptionally competent.
73
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,689
If we have to stretch dollars even
further, you're the man to do it.
74
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,570
It's either you, or someone
far less experienced.
75
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,848
The two of you are about to head
to Iowa at the end of the week?
76
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,287
That's right. Eighteen
counties this trip.
77
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,409
By January I plan
on hitting all 99.
78
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,204
John will join me at every event
79
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,408
until his husband is released.
80
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,482
Have you had any contact with
Michael since his arrest?
81
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,086
The Russian government
has refused.
82
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,525
They won't even let him
speak to a lawyer.
83
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,648
That's why it's important
John join me.
84
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,411
We need to keep the
pressure up on Moscow.
85
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,046
VIEIRA: You know,
gay rights is controversial
86
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,451
in many parts of the country.
87
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,488
Do you think that appearing
with Corrigan's husband
88
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,090
could possibly hurt you?
89
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,243
I think the American people want
a candidate who doesn't dodge.
90
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,210
Who is truthful about
where she stands.
91
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,851
Not someone who shies
away from controversy.
92
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,809
VIEIRA: It's one thing to
shy away from controversy.
93
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,530
It's another thing to court it.
94
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,444
DUNBAR: Well, Michael was
arrested for speaking his mind.
95
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,091
If defending free speech
is controversial,
96
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,811
then we're no better
than Russia.
97
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,565
I wish that there were more people
in our government defending it.
98
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,042
VIEIRA: Are you talking specifically
about the Underwood Administration?
99
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,407
JOHN: I think the President
could do more.
100
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,084
You know, the White
House has said that
101
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,208
they've been speaking
directly with the Kremlin,
102
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,486
that they, and I quote here,
103
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,721
"Have to tackle this issue
104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,406
"as it relates to the larger
diplomatic relationship
105
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,443
- "between the two nations."
- DUNBAR: Mmm-hmm.
106
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,123
Then why haven't we seen any
evidence of those talks?
107
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,884
When I'm President,
108
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,928
the American people
can rest assured that
109
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,928
I will take my oath to defend and
protect our citizens seriously.
110
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,490
What do you think of her?
111
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,807
- Who? Dunbar?
- Yeah.
112
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,649
(INTERVIEW CONTINUES)
113
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,603
(CHUCKLES)
You worked for Underwood.
114
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,811
Not any more.
115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,404
I won't be offended.
116
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,126
Uh, I like a lot about
what she has to say.
117
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,004
Would you vote for her?
118
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,971
I don't know. I might.
119
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,520
Yeah, I probably would.
120
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,244
- How soon?
- Tomorrow.
121
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,043
We're gonna get
hit hard on this.
122
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,724
Better than getting
hit on Corrigan.
123
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,211
You saw Vieira?
124
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,846
Dunbar's smart. She's running against
us before we're even running.
125
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,490
(SIGHS) She'll attack us
on the FEMA thing, too.
126
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,450
Let her. At least we're
controlling the narrative.
127
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,761
When we first spoke,
you mentioned early fall.
128
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,207
Look, Dunbar's got momentum
because no one's challenging her.
129
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,124
But, once we drop the FEMA plan,
that'll take her off message.
130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,090
And your candidacy will distract her.
It's a one-two punch.
131
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,730
We'll start bleeding away
the women's vote.
132
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,126
I'm just not sure
how smart it is
133
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,440
to rush into a campaign
with so little preparation.
134
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:30,965
Yeah, but,
this isn't a real campaign...
135
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,405
But it needs to look like one.
136
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,803
I thought you wanted
to be on my ticket.
137
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,962
It's my reputation at stake.
138
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,724
I don't want to look foolhardy.
139
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,888
- Look, no one...
- Mayor's announcing in the morning.
140
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,086
Seth's working with his office.
141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,564
You see, Jackie,
this is perfect timing.
142
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,642
The FEMA plan goes into action.
143
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:48,960
And you announce
in a couple of weeks.
144
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,088
You say you had to run.
145
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,162
President Underwood
is being reckless with FEMA.
146
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,322
You come out against me
and America Works,
147
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,970
and you steal Dunbar's thunder.
148
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,323
And then I flip-flop when I pull
out and you put me on the ticket?
149
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,290
By then 50,000 people
will have jobs
150
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,805
and it won't look
like a flip-flop.
151
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,251
It will look like
you saw the light.
152
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,321
(SCOFFS)
153
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,290
Look, why don't you go off with
Remy and you discuss the details
154
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,762
and just give it some
thought before you decide?
155
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,647
Thank you, Mr President.
156
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,165
REMY: Let's talk
in my office.
157
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,444
My biggest concern is funding.
158
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,324
I couldn't fly coach to Iowa.
159
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,004
I'll get you some PAC
money rolling your way.
160
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,242
Should be enough
to get you started.
161
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,045
If I run,
it shouldn't be half-ass.
162
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,445
Which is why we should
talk about this.
163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,042
SHARP: You want
a candidate with a family.
164
00:08:41,680 --> 00:08:43,762
We are after the women's vote.
165
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,561
Alan and I've already
talked about it.
166
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,241
You have?
167
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,891
Yeah. We joked about getting
married on our first date.
168
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,643
I get two kids without
the stretch marks.
169
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,730
And when I mentioned I might
run, it stopped becoming a joke.
170
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,610
Is Alan open to it?
171
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,561
It was his idea.
172
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,641

contribute troops.

00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,849
Oh, no! We will absolutely
follow through once it's passed.
349
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,050

Ambassadors, I need you
to withdraw the resolution.
353
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,970
We lost consensus.
354
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,089
I need to postpone the vote
until we get it back.
355
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,450

is a good example.

Homeland Security?
357
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,130
Former Secretary, I should say.
358
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,645
He's done?

00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,246
They haven't announced.
But Steve called me.
360
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,961
Said he stood up to the President
on this FEMA nonsense.
361
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,486
Homeland Security has
jurisdiction over FEMA now.
362
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,971
Right.
363
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,284
The President demanded his letter of
resignation right then and there.

It's true. I resigned.

Why are you still in the office?

White House wants to go public.

Why wouldn't you go
public yourself,

writing about the resignation.

won't be a quote from me.

to speak out.

temperatures in the Pacific.

just didn't think.

And so I did.

he's the only guy

from becoming a catastrophe.

Letting me dig my own grave.

but we don't stop there.

And even so, we need more than ad-buys.
We need...
452
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,122
We need the
philosophy behind it.
453
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,887
We need something of substance.
We need something...
454
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,010
We need something that will
capture the imagination.

Either of you play

00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,081
- What's that?
- FRANCIS: It's a video game.

00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,207
I don't play them, sir.
458
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,641
I sold my Xbox on eBay.
It was too addictive.
459
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,484
It's not a console game.
460
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,723
You both read this and then tell me
that you wouldn't wanna play this.
461
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,684
I'd say there's nine
consultants in the country
462
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:21,966
who truly know foreign policy.
463
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,724
Me? I'm number one.
464
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,041
Me in a coma, is number two.
465
00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:28,088
But that still leaves
seven who are cheaper.
466
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,525
I value good counsel,
467
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,126
and I'm smart enough
to know what I don't know.
468
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,123
What would be your
assessment of us so far?
469
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,202
You're making a big stink out
of this Michael Corrigan thing.
470
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,566
But that's just surface.
471
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,120
You have to understand
why Corrigan got arrested.
472
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,248
Petrov's appealing to
his traditional base.
473
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,767
No. This is about
the Jordan Valley.
474
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,763
DUNBAR: I don't follow.
475
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,841
Retaliation.
476
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,129
It goes back to the summit
a couple of months ago.
477
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,370
Look, this is the Jordan Valley.
478
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,845
All right, hold on,
I'll make it easier.
479
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,282
That's the valley right there.
480
00:24:08,360 --> 00:24:10,328
Occupied by Israel since 1967.
481
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,481
It's been a major roadblock
482
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,528
in any peace accord
with the Palestinians.
483
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,443
Underwood sends
peacekeeping troops,
484
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,841
the Israelis leave,
the Palestinians are happy.
485
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,046
It's not that simple.
486
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:21,885
Everyone gets hung up on this little
patch of land, 10 miles by 40.
487
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,531
But you have to look outwards,
past Jordan and Syria.
488
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,680
Past Iraq, here to the Caucasus.
489
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,131
That's Russia's sphere
of influence.
490
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,971
They don't see the peacekeeping
force as a Middle-East issue.
491
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,202
They see it as strategic
deployment of US troops
492
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,282
less than a thousand miles
from their Southern border.
493
00:24:38,360 --> 00:24:41,125
So you're saying Corrigan's a
pawn, a play for leverage.
494
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,725
More of a first salvo.
495
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,804
Moscow wants to show it's serious
about fighting this resolution.
496
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,843
Now, if I had to guess,
497
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,082
Underwood tried to bring Russia
into the mix during the summit,
498
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,083
get 'em involved
early on as partners.
499
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,083
And when Petrov
didn't play ball,
500
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,482
Underwood went on the offensive,
which is a huge gamble.
501
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,167
Tell me how.
502
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,571
Nobody wants UN troops there.
503
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,166
Not the Israelis, not the
Palestinians, not the Arabs.
504
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,925
They're playing along because
the US is pressuring them.
505
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,241
But just one little thing
needs to go wrong
506
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:10,931
and you've got a tinderbox where
everyone's holding matches.
507
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,800
So, why is he following this
course of action at all?
508
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,008
- Because he's smart.
- You just said...
509
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,809
He's being too smart.
510
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,123
If it pays off, hey,
he wins a Nobel Prize.
511
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,003
But if it backfires,
512
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,050
he leaves himself wide open,
513
00:25:28,120 --> 00:25:29,690
and that's when you
need to hit him hard.
514
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,925
A disastrous foreign policy that
made the world more dangerous,
515
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,526
and he had his wife with zero
foreign-policy experience
516
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,931
lead the goddamn charge.
517
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,004
I'd like to bring you aboard, Joe.
When can you start?
518
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,366
I believe I already did.
519
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,204
I'll get the paperwork
over to you later today.
520
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,044
Let me ask, who referred me?
521
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,724
DUNBAR: You have
quite a reputation.
522
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,211
Yeah, for being an asshole.
523
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,282
Somebody you respect must've
recommended me highly.
524
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,402
A former Underwood staffer.
525
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:53,720
I never worked with
any of his people.
526
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,246
Which is one of the reasons
he recommended you.
527
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,526
Touché.
528
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,726
What is this?
529
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,882
A list of the Russian officials
who will be sanctioned
530
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,480
if you sell a single
truckload of arms to Iran.
531
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,730
I didn't even make the top 10.
532
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,687
These sanctions can
and will escalate.
533
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,121
And then what?
534
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,170
We'd build a coalition, to
impose their own sanctions.
535
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,605
And then what?
536
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,290
Alexi,
537
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,047
you know what an economic crisis
that would be for Russia.
538
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:25,929
Like the trade war
you waged with China?
539
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,842
Except in our case, only 3%
of exports go to the US.
540
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,048
And Europe needs
our natural gas.
541
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:35,124
They won't forfeit that over a few
short-range missiles to Iran.
542
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,891
Oh, you don't want
to challenge us
543
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,644
on the armament
of a terrorist state.
544
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,042
We'll never be presented
with that problem.
545
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,128
You can't assure the Israelis
you'll provide troops.
546
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,522
The President doesn't have the
support of either party in Congress.
547
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,331
No troops, no Israel.
No Israel, no consensus.
548
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,131
No consensus, no resolution.
549
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,527

resolution passed.

Don't underestimate my
ability or desire to do so.

I've indulged your
enthusiasm long enough.

You've bit off more
than you can chew, Claire.

554

die a painless death.

business being Ambassador

It's a perversion of the

have you left me?

to check yours.

If we didn't feel America Works
warranted taxpayer money,

then it's not fit to be law.

the first time that

the leaders of both parties
have met with me in one room.

you, because you declined.

that I love you.
692
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:31,481
It has nothing to do with that.
693
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,801
I love you as much as ever.

697
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:53,970
They need it in stone, Francis,
698
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,849
that we'll contribute troops.
699
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,365
An executive order.
700
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,806
Congress won't be happy.
701
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,882
Well, they're already not happy.
702
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,731
I spat in one eye. I might
as well spit in the other.
703

Thank you, sir.
713

I liked your speech, Ms Dunbar.
714
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,245
And I've heard more than a few.
715
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,805
I appreciate you
saying that, sir.
716

I know Iowans aren't
easily impressed.

What you said about integrity,
718

well, if you can bring that to

Mr Reynolds, nice to meet you.

Mrs Underwood asked me
to destroy it. I didn't.
743
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,531
You should have.
744
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,330
She lied on national television.
745
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,006
I'm not running
that sort of campaign.
746
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,010
It's good to know
it's available.
747
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,489
I would never do that
to another woman
748
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:31,841
and neither would Cynthia.
749
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,121
Hmm.
750
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,288
Cynthia was a good choice
for your manager.
751
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,045
She'll run
a top-notch operation.
752
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,121
But you need someone
753
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,010
who's willing to do the things
that people like her won't do.
754
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,887
When you asked me for a job,
755
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,850
you said you wanted
to turn over a new leaf.
756
00:37:48,720 --> 00:37:51,451
I have a certain skill set,
Ms Dunbar.
757
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:52,885
For me, turning over a new leaf
758
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,531
is using my skills
for the right reasons.
759
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:57,370
Like putting you in office.
760
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,523
$150,000. One point
on the ad-buy.
761
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:03,886
No points.
762
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,644
But I'll do a $100,000 win bonus
if we get the nomination.

00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,370
I hope I came over here
for some good news.
764
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,604
I'm in. You can
tell the President.
765
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:32,521
August 19th.
766
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,568
We wanted you to announce
a lot earlier than that.
767
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,204
No, not the announcement.
This.

"Congrats"?

be this girly.

It's a fucking diamond.

I'm happy for you both.

Are you?
775
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,444
Sorry.
That wasn't fair.
776
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,725
I think we should talk about dates
for announcing the campaign.
777
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,642
Yeah, I have a few ideas.
Let me pull up my calendar.

to be the best option.

Don't make me laugh.
I'll have to start over.

00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:35,201
Good?
800
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,846
Quite.
801
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:40,644
Alexi, I think we've gotten
off on the wrong foot.
802
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,200
We need to find a better
way to work together.
803
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,608
You're letting go

00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:49,921
Perfect.

It's always nice
to have a man's opinion.
807
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,889
You were right, by the way.
808
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,247
Israel won't back us
unless we commit troops.
809
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,006
You called my bluff, Alexi,
810
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,526
and I shouldn't have insulted you
with one in the first place...
811
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,369
- (URINATING)
- Yeah. I'll be outside when you finish.
812
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,848
The President signed an
Executive Order this morning.
813
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,882
5,000 US military reassigned
to permanent standby
814
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,883
for UN peacekeeping operations.
815
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,724
Jerusalem has been informed.
816
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,882
Your husband doesn't have
that kind of authority.
817
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,566
It's occupied territory. He's not
deploying on sovereign land.
818
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,086
So as Commander in Chief,
819
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,084
he doesn't need
Congressional approval.
820
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,403
Israel's back on
board again, Alexi.
821
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,165
So, the moment you
sell arms to Iran,
822
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:32,844
we will shoot the
planes out of the sky,
823
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,446
the trucks off the road and
the ships out of the water.
824
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:41,722
- Now, maybe, you'd be able to afford
sanctions... - (TOILET FLUSHING)

...but you sure as hell
can't afford a war.
826
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,125
Come back to the table.
Engage us in good faith.
827
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,123
Or the resolution goes
to a vote next week.
828
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,641
I've always been
willing to talk.
829
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,404
Not you and I.
President to President.
830
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,801
Oh, and we need Michael
Corrigan released also.
831
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,001
I'll communicate your
message to Moscow.
832
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,686
Please. Hand me a
towel, would you?
833
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,325
What a gentleman.
834
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:29,888
You ever been to the
White House before?
835
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,486
When I won the
National Book Award.
836
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,085
Nancy was a fan.
837
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:38,006
I'm surprised. That story doesn't
exactly revere family values.
838
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:39,844
She's got the astrologer in her.
839
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,083
I think she liked the title
more than anything.
840
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,128
Scorpio was a very good book.
841
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,447
Still pays the rent.
842
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:47,367
Have a seat.
843
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,841
Why am I here, Mr President?
844
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:51,605
Remy briefed you.
845
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:53,531
He said you needed a book.
846
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,090
He didn't say about what.
847
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,846
America Works. Not just the
policy, but the origins.

and climbed his way
out through hard work.

with one's labour.

Propaganda.

You could call it that.

This sort of thing,
it's not my wheelhouse.
