1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,602
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:01,669 --> 00:00:03,504
[Mac] The president has had a stroke.
3
00:00:03,571 --> 00:00:07,208
The 25th Amendment kicks in. The
vice president assumes the presidency.
4
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:08,843
What happens? Do I take the oath?
5
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:11,078
Madam Vice President,
we need you to resign.
6
00:00:11,145 --> 00:00:15,683
You know that your vice-presidency was
never ever intended to be a presidency.
7
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:17,151
It was done as a stunt.
8
00:00:17,218 --> 00:00:20,187
I think people voted for what
President Bridges believes in.
9
00:00:20,254 --> 00:00:23,190
If you can't deliver,
then maybe you should step aside.
10
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:25,526
This is what we do.
We do the right thing.
11
00:00:25,593 --> 00:00:27,962
You want to be president
because you want power.
12
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:30,164
- That's not me.
- Well, that's the problem.
13
00:00:30,231 --> 00:00:33,234
I'm gonna go out there
and I'm gonna take the oath of office.
14
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:35,903
- The president of the United States.
- [clapping]
15
00:00:40,641 --> 00:00:42,042
I run the first lady's staff.
16
00:00:42,109 --> 00:00:45,346
- May I show you to your office?
- It's, uh, very, uh... pink.
17
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:47,214
I want you to be my chief of staff.
18
00:00:47,281 --> 00:00:50,317
We can save this country.
We can save it from her.
19
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:54,121
If you think that I am gonna step aside,
you are sorely mistaken.
20
00:01:02,863 --> 00:01:07,601
[Nathan] In his two years as president,
Teddy Bridges demonstrated to us
21
00:01:07,668 --> 00:01:13,174
that who we have been as a nation
is not as important as who we can be.
22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,177
That was his gift to us. His vision.
23
00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:20,614
When it came time for him to pick
his vice president, he chose a woman.
24
00:01:20,681 --> 00:01:25,219
A political independent.
Teddy Bridges had that genius.
25
00:01:25,286 --> 00:01:30,057
The genius to see past the constraints
of the present to the future
26
00:01:30,124 --> 00:01:33,027
and recognize in it
an idea whose time has come,
27
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,729
and make that idea a reality.
28
00:01:37,031 --> 00:01:38,632
Our reality.
29
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:41,135
- [man] Aim. Fire!
- [gunshots]
30
00:01:43,537 --> 00:01:47,508
Pray for the soul
of our beloved president.
31
00:01:47,575 --> 00:01:49,944
Pray for the soul of our new president.
32
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:54,148
Pray for Mackenzie Allen.
Her husband. Her children.
33
00:01:54,949 --> 00:01:58,085
Pray for this nation that waits
with hopeful heart for her
34
00:01:58,152 --> 00:02:01,422
to answer the clarion call
of Teddy Bridges.
35
00:02:02,423 --> 00:02:04,658
For it is only through your deeds
36
00:02:05,326 --> 00:02:08,829
that his genius
can be fulfilled for us all.
37
00:02:08,896 --> 00:02:10,965
- [man] Aim. Fire!
- [gunshots]
38
00:02:11,065 --> 00:02:12,266
[whinnying]
39
00:02:12,333 --> 00:02:17,271
"It's only through your deeds that
his genius can be fulfilled for us all."
40
00:02:17,338 --> 00:02:21,041
Templeton doesn't want you to be able
to take credit for your own presidency.
41
00:02:21,108 --> 00:02:22,376
With him next in line,
42
00:02:22,443 --> 00:02:25,579
it is top priority for us
to get a vice president confirmed.
43
00:02:25,646 --> 00:02:29,750
- I think it should be Warren Keaton.
- That guy hates you. Why help him?
44
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:31,919
I don't wanna help him.
I want him to help me.
45
00:02:31,986 --> 00:02:34,388
- And the country.
- You should listen to your son.
46
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:36,257
Keaton was attacking you for a year.
47
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:38,158
Why do you need a vice president?
48
00:02:38,225 --> 00:02:42,396
Mommy needs somebody who can
take over in case I can't do the job.
49
00:02:42,463 --> 00:02:44,598
It's kind of like a...
substitute teacher.
50
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:47,801
Right. And we've got
to find the best one possible.
51
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,337
But you have to keep it a big secret.
52
00:02:50,404 --> 00:02:54,675
So, from now on, anything that
we say stays within this family.
53
00:02:54,742 --> 00:02:56,477
- OK.
- OK.
54
00:03:00,214 --> 00:03:01,782
- Hey.
- Hiya, Nate.
55
00:03:03,717 --> 00:03:06,720
- So it ends, huh?
- So it begins.
56
00:03:06,787 --> 00:03:09,189
- She give you a list?
- Yes.
57
00:03:09,256 --> 00:03:10,324
- Long?
- One name.
58
00:03:10,391 --> 00:03:11,625
Whose?
59
00:03:11,692 --> 00:03:14,361
C'mon, Mr. Speaker, you know I can't...
60
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:16,263
Is the name on that list?
61
00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:20,901
Those are the nominees that I can
guarantee I can get through Congress.
62
00:03:20,968 --> 00:03:23,470
Tucker Baynes's name
is right at the top of the list.
63
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:25,539
Governor Baynes
is at the top of the list.
64
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:29,543
- That's not a problem for you, is it?
- No. I like Tucker Baynes.
65
00:03:31,045 --> 00:03:32,913
You tell the girl
66
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:35,783
that this is just a dance.
67
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:39,953
She steps on people's toes,
she sits it out.
68
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:41,722
That's how it goes.
69
00:03:44,625 --> 00:03:46,627
[sirens wail]
70
00:03:59,506 --> 00:04:02,276
- Thank you.
- [cameras clicking]
71
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:09,116
Madam President?
NSC's waiting to meet you.
72
00:04:09,183 --> 00:04:12,353
Mom, how long are we gonna be here?
We have a lot of packing to do.
73
00:04:12,419 --> 00:04:13,487
Hey, slow down, OK?
74
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:16,557
Madam President.
I'm Chief Usher Waverly.
75
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:18,292
- How do you do?
- Pleasure.
76
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:20,761
Like me to show
the first family to the residence?
77
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:22,529
- Yes.
- Ma'am. Ma'am, we need to go.
78
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:24,398
OK. I'll catch up with you guys later.
79
00:04:24,465 --> 00:04:27,034
Can we talk about Keaton later?
I have some thoughts.
80
00:04:27,101 --> 00:04:28,602
Of course. All right. Bye.
81
00:04:28,669 --> 00:04:31,438
- Holding up?
- You're asking me?
82
00:04:31,505 --> 00:04:34,808
[man] Secretary of state's
scheduled calls in protocol order.
83
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:36,977
- We have France, Britain...
- [clamoring]
84
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:40,147
- [man] Charlie.
- Do we know the president's last words?
85
00:04:40,214 --> 00:04:41,915
They were said to his wife, Grace.
86
00:04:41,982 --> 00:04:45,352
If she wishes to make anything public,
a statement will be published.
87
00:04:45,419 --> 00:04:46,854
[clamoring]
88
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,089
- Sammy.
- Hale, five days ago the president
89
00:04:49,156 --> 00:04:53,827
sent U.S. Marines into Nigeria to rescue
a woman being held by sharia law.
90
00:04:53,894 --> 00:04:57,364
Can you tell us how she came to this
decision and with whom she consulted?
91
00:04:57,431 --> 00:04:59,900
The War Powers Act
required her to notify Congress.
92
00:04:59,967 --> 00:05:01,869
- That mean...?
- [Hale] Let's move on.
93
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:03,103
- [clamoring]
- Tom.
94
00:05:04,705 --> 00:05:08,776
This, of course, is the famous East Room
where many formal functions are held.
95
00:05:08,842 --> 00:05:11,578
President Kennedy has said
that he loved this room.
96
00:05:11,645 --> 00:05:14,948
- He spent a lot of time here.
- Hello, Mr. Calloway. Hello, children.
97
00:05:15,015 --> 00:05:16,083
I'm Nora Woodruff.
98
00:05:16,150 --> 00:05:17,251
- Hi.
- Hi there.
99
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:19,119
I'm the White House social director.
100
00:05:19,186 --> 00:05:23,524
I'm also your father's right hand
in the first gentleman's office.
101
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:26,827
If you'll follow me, I'll be happy
to show you to the residence.
102
00:05:26,894 --> 00:05:28,862
[Waverly] There are four housekeepers,
103
00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:31,965
three valets, six butlers
and several chefs,
104
00:05:32,032 --> 00:05:34,568
all of whom would be happy
to make you anything,
105
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:37,471
- 24 hours a day.
- Even ice cream sundaes at midnight?
106
00:05:37,538 --> 00:05:39,940
As many as you want.
Right this way.
107
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:42,910
Let me get some answers
on this Nigeria thing.
108
00:05:42,976 --> 00:05:44,711
- We're flying in the dark.
- Hale.
109
00:05:44,778 --> 00:05:47,381
You invoked the War Powers Act?
What were you thinking?
110
00:05:47,448 --> 00:05:49,016
You trying to inflame the press?
111
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:52,986
Jim, the cool factor of her being
a woman is gonna wear off real fast
112
00:05:53,053 --> 00:05:55,055
and we're all gonna
go down with the ship.
113
00:05:55,122 --> 00:05:58,325
Hale, I need to know
if the president has your loyalty.
114
00:05:58,392 --> 00:06:00,461
The president's dead, Jim.
115
00:06:01,395 --> 00:06:03,564
I want your resignation
on my desk in an hour.
116
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:05,499
It's already there.
117
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:09,336
This is the formal dining room.
118
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:12,105
There's also an informal dining room
near the kitchen.
119
00:06:12,172 --> 00:06:15,542
- [dog barking]
- Regal! You're here!
120
00:06:15,609 --> 00:06:18,111
- Yes, she is.
- Regal.
121
00:06:18,178 --> 00:06:20,781
OK, um, Rebecca,
your room is here on the left.
122
00:06:20,848 --> 00:06:23,617
Previously occupied
by Susan Ford, Chelsea Clinton...
123
00:06:23,684 --> 00:06:26,119
Where are the tunnels JFK
used to sneak in Marilyn?
124
00:06:26,186 --> 00:06:29,656
- Is that Grace Bridges?
- Yes, as a matter of fact.
125
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:33,427
The former first lady and Tommy moved
into the guest bedrooms temporarily.
126
00:06:34,461 --> 00:06:37,364
Eleanor Roosevelt stayed
for three months after FDR died.
127
00:06:37,431 --> 00:06:38,699
Hmm.
128
00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:39,900
- We're talking...
- Hi.
129
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:43,136
Then Smith from NEC needs
to talk about reopening the markets.
130
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:44,204
- Right.
- OK.
131
00:06:44,271 --> 00:06:47,074
There's a series of bills
nearing their ten-day do or die...
132
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:48,141
[man] Ten-hut!
133
00:06:48,208 --> 00:06:51,745
...expiration date, including HR-1167,
which the Democratic... Ma'am?
134
00:06:53,146 --> 00:06:56,717
- I can't go in there.
- I'll see you on the other end.
135
00:06:57,918 --> 00:06:59,920
[Mac] Sit. Sit everyone. Thank you.
136
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,592
[TV on low volume]
137
00:07:05,659 --> 00:07:07,027
- [Nathan] Hey.
- Boss.
138
00:07:07,895 --> 00:07:08,896
I loved it.
139
00:07:08,962 --> 00:07:10,898
- The funeral?
- The speech.
140
00:07:10,964 --> 00:07:13,100
Oh. Thank you.
141
00:07:13,166 --> 00:07:15,269
Jim says she's picked somebody already.
142
00:07:15,335 --> 00:07:19,273
No consultation. Just picked somebody.
Who, I don't know.
143
00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:20,340
It's Warren Keaton.
144
00:07:22,509 --> 00:07:26,580
Bloody hell. She is something.
How'd...? When did you find that out?
145
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:28,682
Sometime after
the second bottle of wine.
146
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:32,753
OK, well, this is not gonna work.
Everything has to be moved up.
147
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:36,890
Fly Baynes into town
and go deep background with the press.
148
00:07:36,957 --> 00:07:39,593
"Tucker Baynes is the man.
Baynes has been selected."
149
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:41,562
That's all I wanna be hearing tonight.
150
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:44,398
- Baynes is the choice.
- Mackenzie Allen.
151
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:47,401
What a piece of work
she turned out to be.
152
00:07:59,212 --> 00:08:00,547
[door opening]
153
00:08:00,614 --> 00:08:02,683
- [indistinct chatter]
- [man] Excuse me.
154
00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:06,153
- The meeting with the Joint Chiefs...
- You're one stealth guy, Vince.
155
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:07,854
Sorry. It's scheduled for 3:00.
156
00:08:07,921 --> 00:08:10,557
Communications staff
thinks a photo op's important.
157
00:08:10,624 --> 00:08:13,126
It was my call, actually.
The world needs to see you
158
00:08:13,193 --> 00:08:14,661
- as commander in chief.
- OK.
159
00:08:14,728 --> 00:08:16,630
[Jim] Give me a minute with the boss.
160
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:18,031
- We'll finish later.
- OK.
161
00:08:18,098 --> 00:08:19,700
What were you saying?
162
00:08:19,766 --> 00:08:22,235
I had to encourage
your press secretary to resign.
163
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:23,303
You did?
164
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:27,140
He informed the press it was his belief
you had to invoke the War Powers Act
165
00:08:27,207 --> 00:08:29,910
before going and gathering
Oria Madula out of Nigeria.
166
00:08:29,977 --> 00:08:32,913
Wants the media questioning
my abilities from the start.
167
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:35,082
Who do we have
walking the story back for us?
168
00:08:35,148 --> 00:08:38,619
Should be Alex Williams, Hale's deputy.
I suggest you elevate him.
169
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:40,087
He's quick, has experience.
170
00:08:40,153 --> 00:08:42,589
- Knows what he's doing...
- Not so sure about that.
171
00:08:42,656 --> 00:08:44,391
This could be an opportunity for us.
172
00:08:44,458 --> 00:08:48,562
And, Jim, next time you want
to fire somebody at that level,
173
00:08:48,629 --> 00:08:51,465
- check with me first.
- Yes, ma'am.
174
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:53,700
OK, what else?
175
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:57,671
Templeton approached with a list
of confirmable Republican VPs.
176
00:08:57,738 --> 00:08:59,272
He put Tucker Baynes at the top.
177
00:08:59,339 --> 00:09:01,375
You tell him I wanna go
with Warren Keaton?
178
00:09:01,441 --> 00:09:04,911
- ‘Course not, ma'am.
- Baynes is interesting, but...
179
00:09:04,978 --> 00:09:07,014
When are you gonna talk with Keaton?
180
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,016
A conference call with him in an hour.
181
00:09:09,082 --> 00:09:11,652
- What do I have now?
- Democratic leadership, ma'am.
182
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:15,155
This thing where I've no idea what
I'm doing from one moment to the next,
183
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:18,592
- I should just get used to that, right?
- You bet, ma'am.
184
00:09:18,659 --> 00:09:21,528
All right. Hello, everyone.
185
00:09:21,595 --> 00:09:25,032
- Rebecca, this is your room.
- Wait. We've already been moved?
186
00:09:25,098 --> 00:09:28,068
During the funeral.
Usually happens during inaugurations.
187
00:09:28,135 --> 00:09:31,171
I believe the record was when
Reagan left and Bush One moved in.
188
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:33,840
That was three hours,
all on one very cold, wet day.
189
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:36,643
Whoa! This is the exact same
as your room in the old house.
190
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:39,780
- That's the point.
- Everything's in the same spot. This...
191
00:09:39,846 --> 00:09:41,815
- The posters.
- It's great, isn't it?
192
00:09:41,882 --> 00:09:44,918
- They even organized her underwear.
- Yes, that'd be Gregory,
193
00:09:44,985 --> 00:09:47,654
- the children's valet.
- Gregory? Oh, God.
194
00:09:47,721 --> 00:09:50,424
- C'mon, Becca.
- He's very professional, I assure you.
195
00:09:50,524 --> 00:09:52,793
It's no big deal.
A little creepy, maybe.
196
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:56,196
- Is there something wrong?
- Uh, you know, it's-it's fine.
197
00:09:56,263 --> 00:09:59,933
Well, good.
Then Amy, let's go look at your room.
198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,334
[Waverly] Right this way.
199
00:10:05,472 --> 00:10:08,008
Speaking as a woman,
I want to tell you how proud I am.
200
00:10:08,075 --> 00:10:09,309
Thank you, senator.
201
00:10:09,376 --> 00:10:12,779
I assume there'll be opportunities
to discuss legislative agenda.
202
00:10:12,846 --> 00:10:15,382
I couldn't govern
without your help, Alison.
203
00:10:15,449 --> 00:10:19,152
If you have questions about our
priority legislation, like HR-1167...
204
00:10:19,219 --> 00:10:21,722
We'd like to give you
a list of potential VP nominees.
205
00:10:21,788 --> 00:10:23,924
- Who's at the top?
- John Vernon.
206
00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:27,561
If you recommend a Democrat
to join a Republican administration,
207
00:10:27,627 --> 00:10:29,463
must it be a card-carrying communist?
208
00:10:29,529 --> 00:10:34,401
I like John Vernon. It's just,
his agenda's very... John Vernon.
209
00:10:34,468 --> 00:10:36,236
Well, you should at least meet.
210
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:40,140
I've decided to go with the old
"best person for the job" thing.
211
00:10:40,207 --> 00:10:43,510
- You're trying to position...
- May I ask who you're considering?
212
00:10:43,577 --> 00:10:45,712
I'd like to keep that
to the team for now.
213
00:10:45,779 --> 00:10:49,216
I don't mean to take advantage
of the death of a president.
214
00:10:49,307 --> 00:10:51,977
But this is an opportunity
for the party.
215
00:10:52,018 --> 00:10:54,821
Well, one of the benefits
of being Independent
216
00:10:54,888 --> 00:10:57,491
is I don't have
to worry about such things.
217
00:11:01,461 --> 00:11:03,597
Well, there's one thing you're right on.
218
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,833
You can't govern without us.
219
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:10,612
We moved the OMB call which affected
the scheduling meeting now set for 8:30.
220
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:14,174
Make sure I have time to get to the
residence to see my family before that.
221
00:11:14,241 --> 00:11:17,744
We may need to clear a couple of hours
at some point to see General Keaton.
222
00:11:17,811 --> 00:11:19,679
I will take care of that, ma'am.
223
00:11:19,746 --> 00:11:21,281
- Jim.
- Mr. Gardner.
224
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:26,853
So after that meeting, I have
the Democrats with a target on my back.
225
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,589
You have an 80 percent
approval rating with the people.
226
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:32,092
Too bad they don't run
the confirmation hearings.
227
00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,127
May be moot as far
as Keaton's concerned.
228
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:36,963
He'll take a call, but he
doesn't think it's good to meet.
229
00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:40,233
- In other words, he's not interested.
- That has yet to be seen.
230
00:11:40,300 --> 00:11:42,102
- Ma'am.
- Don't wanna hear arguments
231
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:44,771
- against Keaton. I've heard 'em.
- All due respect...
232
00:11:44,838 --> 00:11:46,907
I know how much
he's attacked me in the past.
233
00:11:46,973 --> 00:11:49,476
My husband would rather
punch him than shake his hand.
234
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,011
This is a special man.
235
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,914
He won a war without
losing a single American life.
236
00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:56,383
On top of that,
he's an economics genius.
237
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:59,352
Name me one candidate
on either list who could match that.
238
00:12:00,220 --> 00:12:02,823
This is a man
the American people respect.
239
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:04,357
This is a man I respect.
240
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:07,093
A man who doesn't have
any idea how Washington works.
241
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,162
Isn't that what we have you for?
242
00:12:09,229 --> 00:12:10,363
Set up the call.
243
00:12:10,430 --> 00:12:13,466
- Keaton's gonna do it.
- Will do.
244
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:19,172
- Daddy, whose furniture is this?
- It's ours, honey. You like it?
245
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,975
It doesn't look like the kind
you're supposed to sit on.
246
00:12:22,042 --> 00:12:23,877
Of course it is. Go ahead.
247
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:31,084
- I miss our couch.
- Yeah, so do I.
248
00:12:31,151 --> 00:12:32,986
Is there a TV, at least?
249
00:12:33,053 --> 00:12:34,621
- Um, hey, Dad?
- Hey.
250
00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:37,224
Um, what if something's
missing from my room.
251
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:39,359
- Like what?
- Um, CDs or whatever.
252
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,595
I'm pretty sure
they cleared out the place.
253
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:43,697
So we're never going back?
254
00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:46,700
No, honey, we live here now.
255
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:49,970
- [Rod] Listen, Becca...
- Something could've been dropped.
256
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:53,440
- We'll replace your CDs, I promise.
- No, Dad, it's not that...
257
00:12:53,506 --> 00:12:56,109
Becca, I'll call somebody.
What's missing exactly?
258
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:58,545
Oh, no, Dad.
You don't have to do that.
259
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,414
Um, don't call anyone.
It's not a big deal.
260
00:13:01,481 --> 00:13:03,149
Never mind.
261
00:13:06,186 --> 00:13:09,155
[Mac] The Russian-American
relationship's too important.
262
00:13:09,222 --> 00:13:12,158
I've every intention
of keeping the summit on schedule.
263
00:13:13,293 --> 00:13:15,562
I look forward to meeting
you and your husband.
264
00:13:17,831 --> 00:13:20,000
Please send my condolences
to Mrs. Bridges.
265
00:13:20,066 --> 00:13:22,669
Yes, I will pass
your thoughts along to Grace.
266
00:13:22,736 --> 00:13:26,239
- Thank you, President Kharkov.
- [speaking Russian]
267
00:13:27,073 --> 00:13:28,074
- Ma'am.
- Thank you.
268
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:30,377
- Thank you, Madam President.
- [Mac] Kelly.
269
00:13:30,443 --> 00:13:31,778
- You wanted to see me?
- Yes.
270
00:13:31,845 --> 00:13:34,714
I hope someday I'm gonna
get back to our once a week lunches.
271
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:36,683
- Are you hungry?
- No. Thank you.
272
00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:38,785
So, you heard
about our press secretary?
273
00:13:38,852 --> 00:13:41,788
- This thing with the War Powers Act?
- It's very surprising.
274
00:13:41,855 --> 00:13:44,190
What do you think
of the deputy press secretary?
275
00:13:44,257 --> 00:13:46,860
Alex Williams. I think he's...
good. He's efficient.
276
00:13:46,927 --> 00:13:49,963
I know the press likes him.
Why? You thinking of promoting him?
277
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:54,034
No. I was going to suggest
that you keep him on.
278
00:13:55,201 --> 00:13:57,470
- I'm making you press secretary.
- Me?
279
00:13:57,537 --> 00:13:59,105
- Yes.
- Press secretary?
280
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:01,474
Madam President, I'm a speechwriter.
281
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:03,777
Three years ago
I was a university chancellor.
282
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,178
This is our shot.
283
00:14:05,245 --> 00:14:07,981
And that is the most
powerful microphone in the world.
284
00:14:08,048 --> 00:14:09,749
I want one of my people behind it.
285
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:14,521
- When would I start?
- Your briefing book.
286
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:16,690
- The bible.
- Thanks, Alex.
287
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:18,525
I really appreciate this. I just...
288
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:20,660
I want you to know
I didn't ask for this job.
289
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:22,929
- No worries. I get it.
- No, it's just that I...
290
00:14:22,996 --> 00:14:25,966
Just stick to the talking points.
And the seating chart.
291
00:14:26,032 --> 00:14:28,501
- And Hale always called on Gilda first.
- Got it.
292
00:14:28,568 --> 00:14:31,404
OK. The cable stations
are cutting in to take you live.
293
00:14:31,471 --> 00:14:34,341
- Your first briefing and all.
- [reporters murmuring]
294
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:36,409
[cameras clicking]
295
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:40,780
[Kelly clears throat]
296
00:14:44,117 --> 00:14:47,954
Let me begin with a few housekeeping
items and scheduling changes.
297
00:14:48,021 --> 00:14:51,491
The president's meeting with
the Joint Chiefs will now take place
298
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:55,495
at 3:30 in the Roosevelt Room.
There will be a photo op.
299
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:57,030
Expanded pool only.
300
00:14:57,097 --> 00:14:59,399
President Allen
will have a phone meeting
301
00:14:59,466 --> 00:15:02,268
with this month's head
of the Security Council.
302
00:15:02,335 --> 00:15:05,005
And with that,
I just want to say that I am
303
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:07,507
very proud to take over
as press secretary.
304
00:15:07,574 --> 00:15:09,943
Um... OK, I'd like
to open it up to some...
305
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:12,379
- [all] Kelly!
- Kelly.
306
00:15:12,445 --> 00:15:15,448
- OK, Charlie, first question.
- Yeah, has President...?
307
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:18,118
What's the update on nominating
a new vice president?
308
00:15:18,184 --> 00:15:21,054
Well, Gilda, President Allen
is moving forward
309
00:15:21,121 --> 00:15:23,757
with the deliberate speed
of such a weighty decision.
310
00:15:23,823 --> 00:15:24,958
[clamoring]
311
00:15:25,025 --> 00:15:27,227
Kelly, are there any names
on the short list?
312
00:15:27,293 --> 00:15:29,195
I haven't discussed that with her.
313
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,665
Maybe you can suss her out. Make
our lives a little more interesting.
314
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:35,702
Did the president follow
the protocol of the War Powers Act,
315
00:15:35,769 --> 00:15:37,337
as Hale mentioned this morning,
316
00:15:37,404 --> 00:15:40,473
when she had Oria Madula
handed over to United States Marines?
317
00:15:41,374 --> 00:15:45,378
- I wasn't in the loop on that.
- [clamoring]
318
00:15:45,445 --> 00:15:46,913
Designers. Any preferences?
319
00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:49,082
[clearing throat]
Not sure now's the time.
320
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:51,985
- It's kind of inappropriate.
- They're gonna be after you.
321
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:56,056
You're the first first gentleman.
You'll be affecting styles for years.
322
00:15:56,122 --> 00:15:58,691
- Well, I, uh, like Zegna.
- Oh. No.
323
00:15:59,059 --> 00:16:00,760
- No?
- Remember what happened
324
00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:03,430
- when Clinton wore Armani?
- I don't really remember.
325
00:16:03,496 --> 00:16:05,298
American designers only, thank you.
326
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:07,767
- [knock on door]
- Hey!
327
00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:09,769
Yes?
328
00:16:09,836 --> 00:16:12,405
- Hey, Steve, how the hell are you?
- Good.
329
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,808
Listen, I was over at the OEOB
and I thought...
330
00:16:14,874 --> 00:16:17,343
- You have curators at 4:40.
- Great.
331
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:21,981
- New assistant, huh?
- Yeah, something like that.
332
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:25,652
- So...
- So. Uh... What... Oh, God.
333
00:16:25,718 --> 00:16:27,821
- Hell of a thing, huh?
- Yeah.
334
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:31,357
I was wondering if I could talk to you
about the governor of New Mexico.
335
00:16:31,424 --> 00:16:33,259
I know Luis. I like him a lot.
336
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:36,196
You should see the testing
on this guy for vice president.
337
00:16:36,262 --> 00:16:38,164
- I mean, it's seismic.
- Oh.
338
00:16:38,231 --> 00:16:39,666
Here are the results.
339
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:41,801
I mean, he edges her across the aisle.
340
00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:45,505
Well, uh, it's a good name.
It's bold. I'll run it up the flag pole.
341
00:16:46,206 --> 00:16:48,208
You're still in the thick of it, right?
342
00:16:48,274 --> 00:16:50,610
Yeah. I'm gonna get
right into it. Don't worry.
343
00:16:52,312 --> 00:16:54,747
Mess is closed, huh?
344
00:16:54,814 --> 00:16:56,583
I like it down here. It's quiet.
345
00:16:56,649 --> 00:16:58,485
Famous navy bean soup.
346
00:16:58,551 --> 00:16:59,819
Oh.
347
00:17:00,420 --> 00:17:02,288
I just spoke with a buddy of mine
348
00:17:02,355 --> 00:17:05,391
who works for a political action
committee in the Southwest.
349
00:17:05,458 --> 00:17:07,460
Are you here to talk about Luis Alfano?
350
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:08,895
I am. Yes.
351
00:17:08,962 --> 00:17:10,864
We did opp research on him years ago.
352
00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:12,866
- He was in muddy waters.
- I know that.
353
00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:15,368
- It just got me thinking...
- Can I stop you?
354
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:20,073
You need to sit back
and just take a deep breath, Rod.
355
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:23,143
Now you are,
you know, the first spouse.
356
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:26,846
People are gonna try to take
advantage of you, influence you...
357
00:17:26,913 --> 00:17:30,517
They don't see me as a spouse.
They see me as an advisor.
358
00:17:30,583 --> 00:17:32,352
And that's even worse.
359
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:35,555
Do yourself a favor, Rod.
360
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:38,091
Stay in your lane.
361
00:17:38,658 --> 00:17:40,593
Look, if I‘ve got an idea...
362
00:17:40,660 --> 00:17:43,329
Well, you're the one
who has her ear at bedside, so...
363
00:17:46,633 --> 00:17:51,337
Green's foreign policy, orange's
domestic. Purple is for just political.
364
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,340
The next seven days, I want
to keep that board 75 percent green.
365
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,843
Let's keep political meetings
to a minimum.
366
00:17:56,910 --> 00:17:59,812
Go and put time on the
schedule for legislative meetings.
367
00:17:59,879 --> 00:18:02,916
- Yes, sir. OK, beginning Monday...
- Eleanor, I'm sorry.
368
00:18:02,982 --> 00:18:04,918
Could we take a short break, please?
369
00:18:04,984 --> 00:18:06,586
[Eleanor] Yes, ma'am.
370
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:11,558
- Yeah. Oh, gotta go.
- Laura.
371
00:18:11,624 --> 00:18:14,160
- I'm gonna go upstairs for a minute.
- Yes, ma'am.
372
00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:17,130
- Here. I'll take that, thank you.
- Ma'am, is everything OK?
373
00:18:17,197 --> 00:18:20,300
Yeah. Fine. We just may
need another color for the chart.
374
00:18:20,366 --> 00:18:22,468
We always have
dinner together as a family
375
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:24,971
and, obviously,
since it's 11, I've missed it.
376
00:18:25,038 --> 00:18:26,839
- Understood.
- Ma'am, I'm so sorry.
377
00:18:26,906 --> 00:18:29,576
- I don't know how this happened.
- ...Oval Office, where
378
00:18:29,642 --> 00:18:32,745
- a decision's been made...
- No confirmation. They ran with it.
379
00:18:32,812 --> 00:18:36,416
According to high-level source
close to the vice-presidential search,
380
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,052
President Allen
has selected Tucker Baynes,
381
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:42,222
the former Republican governor
from Oklahoma, as her choice.
382
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:45,024
- Now this is unexpected...
- This on the other networks?
383
00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:47,093
- All of them.
- [reporter continues]
384
00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:51,431
- Templeton's handiwork?
- [Jim] He's connecting Baynes to you.
385
00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:53,800
The press'll poll. Baynes'll test great.
386
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:55,568
I'll be praised for my choice.
387
00:18:55,635 --> 00:18:59,806
They'll say how egoless it is of me
to choose someone so charismatic.
388
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:02,976
And If I don't go with him,
they'll say I'm weak and indecisive.
389
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:05,745
- [phone ringing]
- Exactly. Templeton's boxing us in.
390
00:19:05,812 --> 00:19:08,047
Templeton is not choosing
my vice president.
391
00:19:08,114 --> 00:19:13,119
- [Laura] Mr. Gardner? For you.
- Ma'am, I'm... I'm sorry.
392
00:19:13,186 --> 00:19:15,355
- Kelly, it's not you.
- [Jim] You sure?
393
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:19,392
Guess General Keaton
didn't want to be in second position.
394
00:19:19,459 --> 00:19:22,028
That was his office.
They just canceled our call.
395
00:19:23,463 --> 00:19:25,465
That didn't take long.
396
00:19:30,303 --> 00:19:32,472
That's different
from what you said before.
397
00:19:32,538 --> 00:19:34,607
Just tell me what the general told you.
398
00:19:36,142 --> 00:19:38,544
All right. Thanks, Norman.
399
00:19:39,712 --> 00:19:42,282
[Jim] The general's aide
says we should move on.
400
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:46,219
You gotta respect the guy's arrogance.
401
00:19:46,286 --> 00:19:49,722
[Jim] We should start considering
other nominees, including Baynes,
402
00:19:49,789 --> 00:19:53,159
- on our terms...
- No, not yet. Let Keaton cool off.
403
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:56,362
"Move on" is not the same as "no."
404
00:19:57,730 --> 00:20:00,099
Staff's still here
for the scheduling meeting.
405
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:03,703
- You want me to push it till tomorrow?
- No. Let's... Let's get it done.
406
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:06,172
OK. I just need to say
good night to my family.
407
00:20:06,239 --> 00:20:07,974
OK, ma'am. I'll see you in there.
408
00:20:21,487 --> 00:20:24,657
[sighs, chuckles]
409
00:20:39,639 --> 00:20:42,375
- [whispering] Hey, how you doing?
- [whispering] Hey.
410
00:20:42,442 --> 00:20:45,111
- How's the room?
- Same as back home.
411
00:20:45,178 --> 00:20:47,380
- Really?
- Yeah. Like... exactly.
412
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:51,684
This whole thing about being here's
kinda... kinda weird, you know?
413
00:20:51,751 --> 00:20:55,021
I know. It is. I'm gonna
go say good night to Becca.
414
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:57,690
Oh, Mom, I think she's
totally crashed for the night.
415
00:20:57,757 --> 00:21:00,460
- Yeah? All right. Good night, baby.
- Good night.
416
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:02,695
Sleep good.
417
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:04,731
I don't know where I am.
418
00:21:04,797 --> 00:21:08,201
Could you just pick me up somewhere,
like at 15th or something.
419
00:21:08,267 --> 00:21:09,736
- Hello?
- Rebecca?
420
00:21:09,802 --> 00:21:12,305
- It keeps cutting out.
- That's a security measure.
421
00:21:12,372 --> 00:21:13,373
What're you doing?
422
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:15,641
Look, can I just get
a cab or a car or something?
423
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:17,577
I mean, how the hell
do I get out of here?
424
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:22,482
- Look, you need to calm down.
- Look, they left it there, all right?
425
00:21:22,548 --> 00:21:25,051
I gotta go back and get it
before somebody else does.
426
00:21:25,118 --> 00:21:28,321
Left what? What are you talking about?
427
00:21:28,388 --> 00:21:30,757
[sighing] My diary.
428
00:21:32,959 --> 00:21:35,328
And it's got stuff in it.
429
00:21:37,130 --> 00:21:38,798
What kind of stuff?
430
00:21:42,101 --> 00:21:44,103
Stuff about Mom.
431
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:49,976
She appears.
432
00:21:50,843 --> 00:21:52,111
- Hey.
- [Rod] You eat?
433
00:21:52,178 --> 00:21:54,380
I hear the room service
around here's not bad.
434
00:21:54,447 --> 00:21:56,716
No, I just came up
to say good night to the kids.
435
00:21:56,783 --> 00:21:59,085
First day in and I missed dinner.
436
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:01,487
Well, I've been with 'em and they're OK.
437
00:22:01,554 --> 00:22:03,790
They've figured out being president's
438
00:22:03,856 --> 00:22:06,292
the most difficult
and important job in the world.
439
00:22:06,859 --> 00:22:10,363
Well, I gotta get back.
The whole staff is still working.
440
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:11,798
Only because you are.
441
00:22:11,864 --> 00:22:14,200
Come on. I'll call 'em,
and send them home.
442
00:22:14,267 --> 00:22:15,568
You need a break.
443
00:22:15,635 --> 00:22:18,204
You haven't stopped
since the service this morning.
444
00:22:18,271 --> 00:22:20,273
- God, was that this morning?
- Mm-hm.
445
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:22,975
First there was the
whole press secretary thing,
446
00:22:23,042 --> 00:22:25,445
and then the
Democratic leadership was...
447
00:22:25,511 --> 00:22:28,514
And, of course, you heard
about the Tucker Baynes disaster.
448
00:22:28,581 --> 00:22:30,850
The press has me
all tied in with him now.
449
00:22:30,917 --> 00:22:34,620
Now General Keaton wants to have
his name withdrawn from consideration.
450
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:38,458
- We gotta fix this thing right away.
- Just let it wait till the morning.
451
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:40,993
And I'm not so sure
it's such a disaster.
452
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:44,931
- But Baynes is Templeton's guy.
- That doesn't make him a bad choice.
453
00:22:44,997 --> 00:22:48,034
I've been thinking.
You should work off of Templeton's list.
454
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:49,502
Hmm.
455
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:51,904
Let me introduce you to your bedroom.
456
00:22:51,971 --> 00:22:53,840
- Oh, wow.
- Mm-hm.
457
00:22:55,608 --> 00:22:56,809
This is...
458
00:22:56,876 --> 00:23:00,112
- This is just like the other place.
- Mm-hm.
459
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:03,049
Look, even Amy's painting
is in exactly the same place.
460
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:05,318
Yeah. Just like we've always been here.
461
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:09,522
Oh. So Templeton's list.
You think I should go with a Republican?
462
00:23:09,589 --> 00:23:11,724
I think we should do whatever it takes
463
00:23:11,791 --> 00:23:15,294
to make a viable Allen administration.
Let the speaker be a kingmaker.
464
00:23:15,361 --> 00:23:18,030
He'll give us the relationship
that we need on the Hill.
465
00:23:18,097 --> 00:23:20,166
Mmm. I'm still stuck on Keaton.
466
00:23:20,233 --> 00:23:23,970
Well, if you stay stuck on Keaton,
his confirmation hearing is going to be
467
00:23:24,036 --> 00:23:26,772
like a recap of his
greatest one-liners attacking you.
468
00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:29,775
I get that. But, you know,
when he talks, he means what he says.
469
00:23:29,842 --> 00:23:33,045
He's got common sense backed up
with real world experience.
470
00:23:33,112 --> 00:23:36,516
And he does not have
a duplicitous bone in his body.
471
00:23:36,582 --> 00:23:38,551
Enough shop talk, kiddo.
472
00:23:40,887 --> 00:23:43,756
- I am so exhausted.
- [Rod] It's to be expected.
473
00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:49,362
You realize that, uh,
John and Jackie slept here?
474
00:23:49,428 --> 00:23:52,164
- Huh! Yeah.
- Pretty amazing, huh?
475
00:23:52,231 --> 00:23:56,135
- Mmm.
- First female president.
476
00:23:59,472 --> 00:24:00,806
'Night.
477
00:24:03,843 --> 00:24:05,912
[phone rings]
478
00:24:05,978 --> 00:24:07,547
[Mac groans]
479
00:24:08,748 --> 00:24:10,516
- There you go.
- Thank you.
480
00:24:10,583 --> 00:24:12,585
- Yeah.
- [man] Sorry to disturb you,
481
00:24:12,652 --> 00:24:15,955
- we need to speak with you immediately.
- OK. I'll be right there.
482
00:24:16,022 --> 00:24:17,023
[groaning]
483
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:19,292
We scoured the
vice-presidential residence.
484
00:24:19,358 --> 00:24:21,227
I went where Velour said it would be...
485
00:24:21,294 --> 00:24:23,596
Just so you know,
Rebecca hates that code name.
486
00:24:23,663 --> 00:24:26,966
We're concerned one of the movers
may have possession of the diary.
487
00:24:27,033 --> 00:24:28,834
He may try and sell it to the tabloids.
488
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:31,704
Ma'am, she said she may
have written things about you.
489
00:24:33,239 --> 00:24:36,275
Kelly, the only person who's
had a longer day than I have.
490
00:24:36,342 --> 00:24:37,376
What do you think?
491
00:24:37,443 --> 00:24:40,580
From a press point of view,
there's nothing that can be done.
492
00:24:40,646 --> 00:24:43,316
What she's trying to say
is we can't go to the tabloids.
493
00:24:43,382 --> 00:24:46,519
If we go to the tabloids
we won't be the only one tracing it.
494
00:24:46,586 --> 00:24:47,820
She's 16 years old.
495
00:24:47,887 --> 00:24:50,356
Whatever‘s in that diary,
we don't want printed.
496
00:24:50,423 --> 00:24:52,625
Can you rack your brain, ma'am?
Think back.
497
00:24:52,692 --> 00:24:56,262
Did you ever, for any reason,
share sensitive material with Rebecca?
498
00:24:56,495 --> 00:24:58,998
Well, I didn't give her
the nuclear codes.
499
00:24:59,065 --> 00:25:00,700
- [laughing]
- [Mac] Come on.
500
00:25:00,766 --> 00:25:04,437
If you need to know what's in
the diary, there's only one place to go.
501
00:25:07,139 --> 00:25:10,209
[man 1] There anything in the diary
that mentions the president?
502
00:25:10,276 --> 00:25:11,677
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
503
00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:14,313
[man 2] Anything that might
be perceived as damaging?
504
00:25:14,380 --> 00:25:15,615
I... I don't know.
505
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:18,417
You write about anything
the president officially did?
506
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:21,320
Look, I don't know.
I don't remember what's in the diary.
507
00:25:21,387 --> 00:25:23,389
[man 3] Details
about your personal life?
508
00:25:23,456 --> 00:25:28,995
Maybe you have something
written about drugs? Sex?
509
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:31,631
OK, guys. Could we just
slow down a little bit here?
510
00:25:31,697 --> 00:25:32,732
[man] Excuse me.
511
00:25:33,132 --> 00:25:37,103
Sweetie, I want you to tell
the Secret Service everything
512
00:25:37,169 --> 00:25:41,240
you remember about that diary.
I want you to be completely honest.
513
00:25:41,307 --> 00:25:44,644
And not a word of it
gets back to me, OK?
514
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:47,179
- [Joan] Yes, ma'am.
- OK.
515
00:25:50,516 --> 00:25:51,517
Guys...
516
00:25:51,584 --> 00:25:55,187
Is the choice of Baynes a tribute to
what Teddy Bridges would have wanted?
517
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:57,890
Neither Baynes nor anyone else
has been selected.
518
00:25:57,957 --> 00:25:59,558
[all] Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
519
00:25:59,625 --> 00:26:01,694
Gallup shows 68 percent approval.
520
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:04,997
- We're getting ahead of ourselves.
- Can't you be straight?
521
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,833
- You obviously leaked the name.
- I did no such thing.
522
00:26:14,140 --> 00:26:16,042
- It's not lit.
- I don't smoke.
523
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:18,277
I'm just preparing for the inevitable.
524
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:22,848
- I saw your briefings.
- You think it's funny?
525
00:26:23,015 --> 00:26:25,518
You have the most
important job in the White House.
526
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:28,287
- The most difficult to learn.
- I'm letting her down.
527
00:26:28,354 --> 00:26:31,757
You've been with us from the start.
You're battle-tested, loyal.
528
00:26:31,824 --> 00:26:33,693
You're tough when you need to be.
529
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,229
Your president called upon you
because she trusts you.
530
00:26:37,296 --> 00:26:40,166
Because she knows
you'll lay on train tracks for her.
531
00:26:40,232 --> 00:26:43,369
- Is that enough?
- It is if the press realizes that.
532
00:26:43,436 --> 00:26:44,970
They'll respect you for it.
533
00:26:45,037 --> 00:26:47,506
So, you just... You tell it like it is.
534
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:51,577
The lingo you learn,
the respect you earn.
535
00:26:51,644 --> 00:26:53,345
I'll see ya.
536
00:26:56,982 --> 00:26:59,085
[Jayne] I was in Oklahoma
for the primary.
537
00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:01,620
You were with the Bridges campaign.
538
00:27:01,687 --> 00:27:04,590
I don't know why we challenged
Oklahoma's favorite son.
539
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:06,892
- [chuckling] Well...
- Sorry, guys.
540
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:09,695
- Hey, Nate.
- No. Sit, sit, sit. Please.
541
00:27:09,762 --> 00:27:12,231
- You don't have a drink.
- Oh, I'm good. Thanks.
542
00:27:13,032 --> 00:27:14,600
Base-closing talks.
543
00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:16,836
It's OK, your Fort Sill is safe.
544
00:27:16,902 --> 00:27:19,505
- They treatin' you all right at the...
- Hay-Adams.
545
00:27:19,572 --> 00:27:22,308
- Hay-Adams.
- Oh, great. Great. You ever stay there?
546
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:25,144
No, no, no. I like my own bed
over in Arlington.
547
00:27:25,211 --> 00:27:27,713
- [Nathan] The president contacted you?
- Not yet.
548
00:27:27,780 --> 00:27:29,548
Oh, boy.
549
00:27:29,615 --> 00:27:31,617
Ah, dear. Well, I'm not surprised.
550
00:27:31,684 --> 00:27:33,152
It's a mess over there.
551
00:27:33,219 --> 00:27:36,188
She had to fire her husband
as her chief of staff,
552
00:27:36,255 --> 00:27:39,024
so that's in a crisis mode.
553
00:27:39,091 --> 00:27:42,728
Press secretary's gone.
Secretary of labor's gone south.
554
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:45,931
DOD's up in arms
over the Nigerian business.
555
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:48,300
Well, she must've
gotten a spike for that.
556
00:27:48,367 --> 00:27:49,702
Right? I mean, women?
557
00:27:49,769 --> 00:27:52,171
The numbers aren't real.
They're emotional.
558
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:53,973
What the White House needs
559
00:27:54,039 --> 00:27:57,743
is a man like you to go in there
and right the ship of state.
560
00:27:57,810 --> 00:27:59,578
- Literally.
- Figuratively.
561
00:28:01,947 --> 00:28:05,017
If this isn't real,
I'm gonna come off as a horse's ass.
562
00:28:05,084 --> 00:28:08,721
- Have you had her ear on this?
- No, not hers.
563
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:12,858
No. Jim Gardner. Good man. Ours.
564
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:16,295
No, of course, you're there.
On the list. At the top.
565
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:18,998
Am I confirmable?
566
00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:21,734
You've got the Republicans,
maybe half the Democrats.
567
00:28:24,270 --> 00:28:28,541
Why did you turn it down, Nate?
The vice-presidency?
568
00:28:30,142 --> 00:28:31,844
This office.
569
00:28:33,345 --> 00:28:36,715
- I couldn't leave. I love it.
- Governor, I apologize,
570
00:28:36,782 --> 00:28:41,020
- but you've got that meeting with APEC.
- Oh, boy. I gotta go.
571
00:28:43,322 --> 00:28:44,323
[grunting]
572
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:46,892
You look great. You look just great.
573
00:28:47,793 --> 00:28:50,396
- Vice-presidential.
- [Tucker laughs]
574
00:29:02,241 --> 00:29:05,244
- You guys met with Baynes?
- What, no preliminaries?
575
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:12,017
The speaker knows and admires
the governor and would be
576
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:14,920
very supportive
if he were the nominee...
577
00:29:14,987 --> 00:29:16,989
...and sees a quick confirmation.
578
00:29:17,957 --> 00:29:19,225
What's going on, Jayne?
579
00:29:20,226 --> 00:29:23,429
What's going on is Mackenzie Allen
needs to show a little respect.
580
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,232
She was presented with a list
of five pre-approved names
581
00:29:26,298 --> 00:29:29,101
and no effort has been made
to even make contact with them.
582
00:29:29,168 --> 00:29:31,437
We don't vet
through the speaker's office.
583
00:29:32,037 --> 00:29:35,007
You know, if she won't
make this happen, we will.
584
00:29:35,074 --> 00:29:36,642
I don't take ultimatums well.
585
00:29:36,709 --> 00:29:38,978
It doesn't matter
if you take them well, Jim.
586
00:29:39,044 --> 00:29:40,880
It only matters if she does.
587
00:29:43,015 --> 00:29:46,252
Go with Baynes. He's a winner.
588
00:29:53,192 --> 00:29:55,327
Honestly, I think Keaton's a lost cause.
589
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:58,330
- The president shouldn't chase.
- What are you suggesting?
590
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:01,467
Baynes is a solid choice.
591
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:05,971
There's something I'm not buying.
592
00:30:06,038 --> 00:30:08,674
Why is Templeton
pushing so hard on Baynes?
593
00:30:08,741 --> 00:30:11,477
Why empower the one man
who could challenge him
594
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:13,512
for his party's nomination in two years?
595
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:16,782
Maybe Templeton isn't running.
596
00:30:17,816 --> 00:30:19,218
Jim.
597
00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:23,322
- Hey.
- Hey.
598
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:25,457
[Horace continues typing]
599
00:30:27,159 --> 00:30:29,561
- What's up?
- Nothing. Just bored.
600
00:30:32,264 --> 00:30:36,035
- Bec, it's gonna be OK.
- No, it's not.
601
00:30:36,769 --> 00:30:38,504
It's going to really, really suck.
602
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:42,675
You're in it too.
603
00:30:44,209 --> 00:30:46,145
What? The diary?
604
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:50,015
Oh, man. Don't tell me that.
What did you say?
605
00:30:50,082 --> 00:30:53,252
You know, next time you wanna
bitch about your life on paper,
606
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,321
bitch about your life. Not mine.
607
00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:58,590
- Horace?
- What?
608
00:30:58,657 --> 00:31:00,326
I'm sorry.
609
00:31:02,995 --> 00:31:04,630
They'll find it.
610
00:31:04,697 --> 00:31:06,365
I mean, Mom's the president.
611
00:31:06,432 --> 00:31:09,601
If she doesn't have the resources,
then who does?
612
00:31:11,537 --> 00:31:12,871
They better find it.
613
00:31:14,807 --> 00:31:17,409
[Kelly] That was the
13th question on the subject.
614
00:31:17,476 --> 00:31:19,912
Gonna give the same answer.
"We're in the process.
615
00:31:19,979 --> 00:31:22,281
- No decisions yet."
- [all] Kelly! Kelly!
616
00:31:22,348 --> 00:31:24,650
- How ‘bout a new subject?
- Hurrah. Yes.
617
00:31:24,717 --> 00:31:27,586
Some of us are still sketchy
on the decision-making
618
00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:29,755
that went into the rescue
of Oria Madula.
619
00:31:29,822 --> 00:31:33,025
- Can you tell us the motivations?
- The motivations?
620
00:31:33,092 --> 00:31:36,061
Was she acting
as a representative of women?
621
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:44,436
Oria Madula was to be brutally tortured
until she died because she had
622
00:31:44,503 --> 00:31:48,007
a child out of wedlock.
Stoned until her skull caved in.
623
00:31:48,073 --> 00:31:51,110
The president wasn't
acting as a representative of women.
624
00:31:51,176 --> 00:31:54,246
She was acting as a
representative of the human race.
625
00:31:57,783 --> 00:31:59,351
Hey, uh, Kelly!
626
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:00,853
- Kelly...
- Yeah. Charlie
627
00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:02,855
- You're getting the hang of it.
- Yeah.
628
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:04,156
- That was nice.
- Thanks.
629
00:32:04,223 --> 00:32:06,558
I need a comment
from the president. A reaction.
630
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:07,626
To what?
631
00:32:07,693 --> 00:32:10,796
I'm running a story in The Post tomorrow
about your guy, Baynes.
632
00:32:10,863 --> 00:32:12,164
I never said he was our guy.
633
00:32:12,231 --> 00:32:14,666
About this out-of-court
settlement that he made.
634
00:32:14,733 --> 00:32:16,368
About three years ago.
635
00:32:16,435 --> 00:32:19,405
- See? Second paragraph?
- This is for real?
636
00:32:19,471 --> 00:32:21,106
Absolutely.
637
00:32:24,676 --> 00:32:26,745
- [clock chimes]
- [groans]
638
00:32:32,284 --> 00:32:34,219
Hey, Tommy.
639
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,755
- How you doin'?
- I'm OK, Mrs. Allen.
640
00:32:36,822 --> 00:32:38,791
[Grace] That's President Allen, Tommy.
641
00:32:38,857 --> 00:32:41,460
- Honey, what are you doing out of bed?
- Getting milk.
642
00:32:41,527 --> 00:32:43,729
All right. Let's go.
OK. Go, go, go. It's late.
643
00:32:43,796 --> 00:32:48,000
- I'm sorry.
- Oh, no. How's he, uh, holding up?
644
00:32:48,067 --> 00:32:50,669
Oh. Better than his old lady.
645
00:32:50,736 --> 00:32:52,838
- Mmm.
- Thank you so much for your patience
646
00:32:52,905 --> 00:32:54,973
- Oh, Grace... Grace.
- and hospitality.
647
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,310
You were a wonderful first lady.
You're a national treasure.
648
00:32:58,377 --> 00:33:02,548
- Anything I can ever do for you.
- Teddy... Ah.
649
00:33:04,416 --> 00:33:06,685
Oh...
650
00:33:06,752 --> 00:33:09,455
- Good night.
- Good night, Grace.
651
00:33:09,521 --> 00:33:11,423
- Hi, Jim.
- Mrs. Bridges.
652
00:33:12,825 --> 00:33:14,626
[Mac] Hey, what's going on?
653
00:33:14,693 --> 00:33:17,362
Charlie's working on
a story for tomorrow's Post.
654
00:33:17,429 --> 00:33:20,799
- It's about Tucker Baynes.
- Oh, my vice president I never chose.
655
00:33:20,866 --> 00:33:23,669
His first year as governor,
a female staffer approached
656
00:33:23,735 --> 00:33:26,405
his attorneys with allegations
of sexual harassment.
657
00:33:26,472 --> 00:33:28,941
- How'd that turn out?
- Case never made it to court.
658
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:30,542
Never even made it to the press.
659
00:33:30,609 --> 00:33:34,279
But an e-mail that she sent his
lawyer two years ago has surfaced.
660
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:37,483
Dated March the 17th, she claims
that Baynes made lewd comments.
661
00:33:37,549 --> 00:33:39,218
He called her repeatedly at home.
662
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:42,421
On March 18th, she quits
the governor's staff and is issued
663
00:33:42,488 --> 00:33:46,191
a $200,000 check by a lobbying firm
owned by his brother.
664
00:33:46,258 --> 00:33:49,361
Ostensibly, a signing bonus,
but she never worked there.
665
00:33:49,428 --> 00:33:51,897
- [Kelly] He paid her off.
- Post is gonna hold this
666
00:33:51,964 --> 00:33:54,366
- as your first faux pas.
- Baynes is not my choice.
667
00:33:54,433 --> 00:33:57,903
Far as the press and country's
concerned, he is. That's the perception.
668
00:33:57,970 --> 00:34:00,139
Tell Charlie he was
never in consideration.
669
00:34:00,205 --> 00:34:03,542
But he was on Templeton's list.
Which he gave to you.
670
00:34:03,609 --> 00:34:06,345
Meaning he was in consideration.
671
00:34:08,380 --> 00:34:10,048
Templeton put this out, right?
672
00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:12,317
He had this up his sleeve,
he pulled it out.
673
00:34:12,384 --> 00:34:15,554
- Why the hell wasn't this in our file?
- We just started vetting him!
674
00:34:17,589 --> 00:34:19,057
Sorry.
675
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:23,962
You tell Charlie
our comment is "no comment."
676
00:34:24,029 --> 00:34:26,265
This ends now.
677
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,101
- Operator.
- [female] Yes, ma'am.
678
00:34:29,168 --> 00:34:31,203
Get me General Warren Fitzgerald Keaton.
679
00:34:31,270 --> 00:34:34,706
Tell him his
commander in chief is calling.
680
00:34:42,014 --> 00:34:43,715
- [Mac] Hey, guys.
- [Becca] Hi, Mom.
681
00:34:43,782 --> 00:34:46,118
- [Rod] How are you?
- Amy, is that a donut?
682
00:34:46,185 --> 00:34:49,922
- Uh, they just gave it to me.
- Did you ask for it?
683
00:34:49,988 --> 00:34:51,557
- Uh-huh.
- Uh-huh.
684
00:34:56,628 --> 00:34:59,731
- You should be watching out for her.
- Me? What about Horace?
685
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:02,968
I'm lucky if Horace
isn't having pizza for breakfast.
686
00:35:04,102 --> 00:35:05,871
You can be a real pain sometimes.
687
00:35:05,938 --> 00:35:07,472
Yeah, and you're a virgin.
688
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,411
It's in your book.
689
00:35:17,683 --> 00:35:20,285
- Oh, my God.
- It was in my room when we moved in.
690
00:35:20,352 --> 00:35:22,487
- Give me that!
- Hey! But I'm not finished.
691
00:35:22,554 --> 00:35:23,789
Yeah. Yeah, you are.
692
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:27,292
Horace, what's a virgin?
693
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:34,733
OK. I have to do some homework.
694
00:35:35,367 --> 00:35:37,569
[clearing throat] Excuse me.
695
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:47,012
Listen, that is Rebecca's private diary.
696
00:35:47,079 --> 00:35:49,081
You're not supposed to read it.
697
00:35:49,848 --> 00:35:51,149
Sorry, Rebecca.
698
00:35:51,216 --> 00:35:52,884
[sighs]
699
00:35:55,721 --> 00:35:58,523
When was the last time
you were at the White House, sir?
700
00:35:58,590 --> 00:36:00,692
Oh, a couple administrations ago.
701
00:36:00,759 --> 00:36:04,029
I had to give the president
a tongue-lashing about his
702
00:36:04,096 --> 00:36:06,765
expert target packaging in the Balkans.
703
00:36:06,832 --> 00:36:10,168
Oh, I see. I will let the president
know that you're here.
704
00:36:11,069 --> 00:36:14,039
- You an Arab?
- Palestinian, sir.
705
00:36:14,773 --> 00:36:17,676
[speaking Arabic]
706
00:36:18,977 --> 00:36:21,446
I'm sorry, sir. I do not speak Arabic.
707
00:36:23,382 --> 00:36:25,617
- Tell her I'm here.
- Yes, sir.
708
00:36:27,419 --> 00:36:29,321
- [knocking on door]
- Come in.
709
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:33,191
Ma'am. The general is here.
710
00:36:33,258 --> 00:36:35,927
OK. Give it a minute
and then bring him in.
711
00:36:43,535 --> 00:36:46,338
And under a Bridges administration,
I assure you
712
00:36:46,405 --> 00:36:48,740
that there will be no
raising of the income tax
713
00:36:48,807 --> 00:36:51,476
and Social Security will remain intact.
714
00:36:51,543 --> 00:36:55,347
Those two goals are not mutually
exclusive and that's where
715
00:36:55,414 --> 00:36:56,848
General Keaton and I differ.
716
00:36:56,915 --> 00:36:59,351
[applause]
717
00:37:00,686 --> 00:37:03,055
[man 1] This time we'll
start with you, general.
718
00:37:03,121 --> 00:37:05,057
[man 2] What do you feel in your heart
719
00:37:05,123 --> 00:37:08,493
you'll bring to the ticket of
Governor Crawford? Why'd he pick you?
720
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,862
I think my wife
asked that same question.
721
00:37:11,963 --> 00:37:15,067
That's two questions, really.
So here's the first answer.
722
00:37:15,133 --> 00:37:18,337
I've served my country for decades,
since I entered West Point.
723
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:21,673
I've taken orders as a soldier.
I've given orders as a general.
724
00:37:21,740 --> 00:37:25,043
I've worked with the United Nations
on key peacekeeping missions.
725
00:37:25,110 --> 00:37:28,613
I know how to lead, and I know
what's good for this country.
726
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,283
Now question number two.
Why'd he pick me?
727
00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:36,021
Hell, Governor Crawford
didn't pick me, his team picked me.
728
00:37:36,088 --> 00:37:40,759
The governor has no military experience,
and some people say he's too liberal.
729
00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:43,095
So I help him on the John Wayne front.
730
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:45,397
Folks, that's what politics is.
731
00:37:45,464 --> 00:37:48,700
We are there
to help our guy get elected.
732
00:37:48,767 --> 00:37:50,068
Mackenzie Allen?
733
00:37:50,135 --> 00:37:54,406
She was picked because Teddy Bridges
needed help with the soccer moms.
734
00:37:54,473 --> 00:37:57,576
Everybody knows
that's why we're here.
735
00:37:57,642 --> 00:38:01,646
- [mediator] That's time.
- [applause]
736
00:38:01,713 --> 00:38:03,949
Ms. Allen? Your response?
737
00:38:04,015 --> 00:38:07,352
All this time I thought
I brought the John Wayne factor.
738
00:38:07,419 --> 00:38:09,488
[laughter]
739
00:38:09,554 --> 00:38:12,324
[Vince] Madam President? Ma'am?
740
00:38:12,391 --> 00:38:15,394
- General Keaton.
- Warren. Come on in.
741
00:38:15,460 --> 00:38:16,795
Madam President.
742
00:38:16,862 --> 00:38:19,197
- This is not gonna happen.
- So they tell me.
743
00:38:20,031 --> 00:38:22,834
- Good of you to come in anyway.
- Old habits.
744
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:26,438
When summoned
by my commander in chief.
745
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:31,009
[Warren] This is really something.
I never thought I'd see the day.
746
00:38:31,076 --> 00:38:33,145
Yeah, I know what you mean.
747
00:38:33,211 --> 00:38:34,413
So?
748
00:38:34,479 --> 00:38:37,749
Our country lost their president.
A robust, athletic man.
749
00:38:37,816 --> 00:38:39,217
They see it can happen.
750
00:38:39,284 --> 00:38:42,854
Country's not gonna be fully recovered
till we have a vice president.
751
00:38:42,921 --> 00:38:47,592
Of course. It just won't be me.
We disagree on too much.
752
00:38:47,692 --> 00:38:50,295
- Like?
- Number one, you're wrong on Israel.
753
00:38:50,362 --> 00:38:52,497
Number two, you're wrong on gun control.
754
00:38:52,564 --> 00:38:54,900
Number three,
you're wrong on school vouchers.
755
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:57,335
Sounds to me like three reasons
why you'd wanna be
756
00:38:57,402 --> 00:39:01,139
- in a position to influence me.
- Ah, influence.
757
00:39:01,773 --> 00:39:03,508
You know...
758
00:39:03,575 --> 00:39:06,711
...vice president is really
being secretary of the useless.
759
00:39:06,778 --> 00:39:09,648
- Why'd you join Crawford's ticket?
- He offered me state.
760
00:39:09,714 --> 00:39:12,184
- He offered you state?
- What can I tell ya?
761
00:39:12,250 --> 00:39:15,554
If you want a man
who's worth a damn in this job,
762
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:18,657
you gotta make this job worth a damn.
763
00:39:18,723 --> 00:39:20,292
No offense.
764
00:39:23,261 --> 00:39:25,130
You wanna know something, Warren?
765
00:39:25,197 --> 00:39:29,067
For all your shoot from the hip,
hoo-ha bravado,
766
00:39:29,134 --> 00:39:32,370
you are absolutely full of crap.
767
00:39:32,437 --> 00:39:34,306
- Beg your pardon?
- You're here.
768
00:39:34,372 --> 00:39:36,975
That tells me you do want the job.
I want you to have it.
769
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:39,044
But I'm not gonna give you state.
770
00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:41,246
You should consider this
an honor, Warren.
771
00:39:41,313 --> 00:39:43,615
Salute and join the team.
772
00:39:43,682 --> 00:39:45,851
It's time to step up and be a man.
773
00:39:48,353 --> 00:39:50,789
Were you this respectful
to Tucker Baynes?
774
00:39:50,856 --> 00:39:53,625
Tucker Baynes is a
Templeton plant, and you know it.
775
00:39:53,692 --> 00:39:56,361
Yeah. But you have
to hand it to Nathan.
776
00:39:56,428 --> 00:39:59,397
- He knows how the game is played.
- Let me tell you something.
777
00:39:59,464 --> 00:40:02,267
When they see us together,
they're gonna see two people
778
00:40:02,334 --> 00:40:05,070
who compliment each other's
strengths and weaknesses.
779
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:08,406
Two people who know how to
fight hard and still respect each other.
780
00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:11,943
And two people who sure as hell
don't play any games.
781
00:40:12,010 --> 00:40:14,913
OK, ma'am. No games.
782
00:40:14,980 --> 00:40:18,416
I don't see a reason why I
should join this administration.
783
00:40:18,483 --> 00:40:22,654
You're an Independent. In two years
you'll run as an Independent.
784
00:40:22,721 --> 00:40:25,790
You stand an Independent's chance
of winning, which is zero.
785
00:40:25,857 --> 00:40:29,060
Why in God's name
should I want to join a losing team?
786
00:40:29,127 --> 00:40:32,864
You're probably right.
I probably am gonna lose.
787
00:40:32,931 --> 00:40:37,068
But, knowing that, I'm not gonna
waste my time trying to get popular.
788
00:40:37,135 --> 00:40:39,437
I'm not gonna
waste my time campaigning.
789
00:40:39,504 --> 00:40:43,241
For the next two years I'm gonna
do one thing and one thing only.
790
00:40:43,308 --> 00:40:45,977
That's what's right
for the American people.
791
00:40:46,044 --> 00:40:48,813
What are you gonna do
with your next two years, Warren?
792
00:40:50,715 --> 00:40:51,716
[clamoring]
793
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:54,486
Does the White House
have a response to the allegations
794
00:40:54,553 --> 00:40:57,055
against President Allen's choice,
Tucker Baynes.
795
00:40:57,122 --> 00:41:00,325
Sorry, we don't comment on allegations.
We only comment on facts.
796
00:41:00,392 --> 00:41:03,428
Baynes is not, nor has he ever,
been President Allen's choice.
797
00:41:03,495 --> 00:41:06,164
- That's just you all speculating.
- Who is her choice?
798
00:41:06,231 --> 00:41:08,567
Kelly. I can take that one.
799
00:41:11,236 --> 00:41:14,172
Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of the United States.
800
00:41:16,074 --> 00:41:17,642
[Mac] Please, be seated.
801
00:41:21,346 --> 00:41:23,048
Ladies and gentlemen.
802
00:41:23,114 --> 00:41:26,017
I am very proud to present to you
803
00:41:26,084 --> 00:41:28,587
the next vice president
of the United States,
804
00:41:28,653 --> 00:41:33,258
- General Warren Fitzgerald Keaton.
- [applause]
805
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:45,570
Write it like this. President Allen's
shocked the political establishment
806
00:41:45,637 --> 00:41:46,871
by picking her opponent,
807
00:41:46,938 --> 00:41:50,442
her political enemy
from her vice-presidential run,
808
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,711
General Warren Fitzgerald Keaton.
809
00:41:52,777 --> 00:41:55,580
[Nathan] He goes to sleep,
the Chicago Tribune says
810
00:41:55,597 --> 00:41:58,133
he's president.
He wakes up in the morning...
811
00:41:58,249 --> 00:42:00,018
- Hey, boss.
- [applause on TV]
812
00:42:00,885 --> 00:42:03,455
[reporter] General Keaton.
When were you notified?
813
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:04,656
[sniffing]
814
00:42:04,723 --> 00:42:07,993
- [crowd laughing]
- About ten minutes ago.
815
00:42:08,126 --> 00:42:12,364
How's it feel to sit next to President
Allen as opposed to across from her?
816
00:42:12,364 --> 00:42:15,066
[Warren] It feels like being
in the shadow of greatness.
817
00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:18,003
I look forward
to working with the Senate...
818
00:42:18,069 --> 00:42:21,106
- He won't be confirmed.
- Not a chance.
819
00:42:21,172 --> 00:42:23,375
[Warren continues talking]
