1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:02,127
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:02,211 --> 00:00:05,172
[man] Mr. Speaker,
the president of the United States!
3
00:00:05,255 --> 00:00:07,674
[Rod] You have a country
of people who believe in you.
4
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:09,843
Templeton is not choosing
my vice president.
5
00:00:09,927 --> 00:00:12,054
- She picked somebody.
- It's Warren Keaton.
6
00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:14,283
If you want a man
who's worth a damn in this job,
7
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:16,391
you gotta make this job worth a damn.
8
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:19,061
He won't be confirmed.
Not with what I know.
9
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:21,522
Do yourself a favor, Rod.
Stay in your lane.
10
00:00:21,605 --> 00:00:24,525
- If I've got an idea...
- You have her ear at bedside.
11
00:00:24,608 --> 00:00:26,944
We want you as the next
commissioner of baseball.
12
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:29,655
No first person has ever worked
outside the White House.
13
00:00:29,738 --> 00:00:32,324
There's no legal reason
I can't take that job.
14
00:00:32,407 --> 00:00:34,409
You might be happier.
15
00:00:34,493 --> 00:00:37,829
She really is all over you. How's a guy
supposed to kiss you good night?
16
00:00:37,913 --> 00:00:40,415
- Aren't you the president's daughter?
- Get off me!
17
00:00:40,499 --> 00:00:42,251
So you're just gonna take this job?
18
00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:44,336
Can you make me a better offer?
19
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:48,215
[police siren in distance]
20
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:50,968
[footsteps approaching]
21
00:00:51,885 --> 00:00:53,136
[Rod] You're up early.
22
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,222
- Yeah. Went for a run.
- Mmm.
23
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:58,016
I couldn't sleep. I keep thinking
about the hearings.
24
00:00:58,100 --> 00:00:59,393
It's a big day, all right.
25
00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:01,228
- You look great.
- Thanks.
26
00:01:01,311 --> 00:01:03,981
Gonna tour the Baseball Commission
this morning?
27
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:07,317
They want to make a big deal
out of the contract signing.
28
00:01:07,401 --> 00:01:11,738
Well, there hasn't been a new baseball
commissioner in a decade now.
29
00:01:11,822 --> 00:01:15,117
So... how's this gonna work?
30
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,661
You're gonna be spending
a lot of time in New York?
31
00:01:17,744 --> 00:01:20,247
Well, there's gonna be, uh, long days.
32
00:01:20,330 --> 00:01:23,208
Some overnights, some travel.
33
00:01:24,585 --> 00:01:27,546
- I guess we should sit the kids down.
- Yeah.
34
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:31,592
Amy, especially. I mean, she's used
to having both of us around full-time.
35
00:01:31,675 --> 00:01:34,011
- Yeah.
- Madam President, Mr. Calloway,
36
00:01:34,094 --> 00:01:37,097
I'm sorry to interrupt,
but I got an advance copy.
37
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:39,766
- Of what?
- The new Evan Hutchins book.
38
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:42,060
That wasn't supposed
to come out for two days.
39
00:01:42,144 --> 00:01:44,229
A friend works
at the publishing house.
40
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:47,733
It's pretty rough, ma'am.
The epilogue, it... [sighs]
41
00:01:47,816 --> 00:01:48,984
It's rough.
42
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:51,194
They changed the title.
43
00:01:51,278 --> 00:01:54,531
Oh, my God.
How much of this have you read?
44
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,491
Only what my friend alerted me to read.
45
00:01:56,575 --> 00:01:58,785
Advance copies aren't out
for a couple of days,
46
00:01:58,869 --> 00:02:00,871
so I think we can get
ahead of this story.
47
00:02:00,954 --> 00:02:02,956
Kelly, I'll see you later.
48
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:05,917
Have a great trip.
49
00:02:07,711 --> 00:02:09,212
Mac, this is a big deal.
50
00:02:09,296 --> 00:02:12,591
I have a vice president to confirm,
my first executive order to sign
51
00:02:12,674 --> 00:02:15,344
and a country to run.
Those are big deals. That's a book.
52
00:02:15,427 --> 00:02:17,804
- By Evan Hutchins.
- Right. By Evan Hutchins.
53
00:02:20,223 --> 00:02:24,186
- All right, tell me the worst of it.
- Page 337, in the epilogue.
54
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:27,147
- What the press will latch on to.
- So will Templeton.
55
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:28,231
[Kelly sighs]
56
00:02:28,315 --> 00:02:29,816
On the day of the hearings.
57
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:31,943
- [slams book shut]
- Damn it!
58
00:02:32,027 --> 00:02:34,196
Obviously, there's someone
close to us
59
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:36,239
who should not be close to us.
60
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:39,660
All right, let's get senior staff
assembled as quickly as possible.
61
00:02:39,743 --> 00:02:41,662
Thought you were going to New York.
62
00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:44,831
Evan Hutchins is not going
to bring down this administration.
63
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:49,503
I thought Hutchins was writing
a Bridges bio, not a Mac smear job.
64
00:02:49,586 --> 00:02:51,004
Focus shifted after he died.
65
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:52,673
- Into attack mode.
- Yeah,
66
00:02:52,756 --> 00:02:56,385
thanks to
"senior White House officials."
67
00:02:56,468 --> 00:02:58,595
Kelly, what's this
about you getting caught
68
00:02:58,679 --> 00:03:01,264
making out with George Clooney
at the inauguration?
69
00:03:01,348 --> 00:03:04,267
Eli, focus. We have to get
on serious damage control mode here.
70
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:06,395
We can't have her painted
as out of the loop.
71
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:09,356
- Disloyal?
- [Rod] Morning, everyone.
72
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:11,274
- Morning, sir.
- Good morning, sir.
73
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:13,610
- Everything OK, Thad?
- Uh, yes, sir.
74
00:03:13,694 --> 00:03:16,363
That's good.
Everyone's seen the book?
75
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:17,614
Piece of garbage, sir.
76
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,492
Well, despite that, we have
to preempt it as best we can.
77
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:23,078
We have 48 hours until it goes public.
78
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:26,331
Let's start divvying up chapters
and documenting inaccuracies.
79
00:03:26,415 --> 00:03:28,375
- Already on it.
- Anything that can be used
80
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:30,711
to challenge
Hutchins' credibility, do it.
81
00:03:30,794 --> 00:03:34,089
Hard to slam Evan Hutchins.
He already has two Pulitzers.
82
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:36,174
Watch me.
83
00:03:41,388 --> 00:03:44,599
You'll be second to the last
in the rotation of the questioners.
84
00:03:44,683 --> 00:03:47,394
You'll have ten minutes, no more,
so get to it quickly.
85
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:50,814
- Who else knows about this?
- Keaton told me about five years ago.
86
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:53,608
It was... We were close friends.
87
00:03:53,692 --> 00:03:56,528
I think I'm the only guy
he ever unloaded to.
88
00:03:56,611 --> 00:03:59,156
Yeah, Willy's an old compadre
of the general's.
89
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:01,867
Which is why I know he can't be
vice president.
90
00:04:01,950 --> 00:04:05,162
Look, if you even hint at this,
91
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,497
Keaton's a hothead, he'll walk away.
92
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:10,000
He'll hit the lecture circuit.
He'll write a book.
93
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:11,626
He'll forget about being VP.
94
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:13,712
Bloody hell, guys.
95
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:16,131
Teddy Bridges is dead.
96
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:19,259
We forgot how fragile life is.
97
00:04:19,342 --> 00:04:23,096
We forgot that the vice presidency
is not an irrelevancy.
98
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,514
[chuckles]
99
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:27,225
Thank God we got the power
of the 25th Amendment,
100
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:29,311
that's all I can say.
101
00:04:31,772 --> 00:04:33,356
- Ma'am.
- Jim, good.
102
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,567
- Ready for today?
- Your husband, ma'am.
103
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:38,779
He's in the Roosevelt Room
running a meeting of some kind.
104
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:40,655
He stayed, huh?
105
00:04:40,739 --> 00:04:43,241
He was supposed to begin
his new job today.
106
00:04:43,325 --> 00:04:47,287
Well, he's here, and...
Look, Kelly filled me in on the book.
107
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,623
If you want to combat it
don't you think I...?
108
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:51,166
No, Jim, I don't.
109
00:04:51,249 --> 00:04:53,502
Listen, Rod is just protecting me.
110
00:04:53,585 --> 00:04:55,462
That's what he does. I can't stop him.
111
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:58,840
What we need to focus on is
monitoring these confirmation hearings.
112
00:04:58,924 --> 00:05:01,259
We have this executive order
to consider.
113
00:05:01,343 --> 00:05:04,137
You know it's been impossible
to set any sort of agenda
114
00:05:04,221 --> 00:05:06,556
when there's constantly
a fire to put out.
115
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,684
Ma'am, you assumed office
at a tragic time.
116
00:05:09,768 --> 00:05:13,438
Job one was holding the country
together, and you've done that.
117
00:05:13,522 --> 00:05:17,067
We can get fully into the Allen agenda
once Keaton is confirmed.
118
00:05:17,150 --> 00:05:19,236
Right. Well,
119
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:22,364
I'm certainly not gonna let
a journalist derail our work.
120
00:05:22,447 --> 00:05:23,490
OK, ma'am.
121
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:26,618
In any case, Kelly says the book
is still a couple of days out.
122
00:05:26,701 --> 00:05:29,830
Any inaccuracies in it
can be dealt with ahead of time.
123
00:05:29,913 --> 00:05:33,834
Rod will find 'em all, trust me.
124
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:37,963
- [man on radio] Velour's in the quad.
- I can't believe it, another new agent.
125
00:05:38,046 --> 00:05:40,590
Man, who knew Greer was so cool.
126
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,050
It sucks that I got her fired.
127
00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:44,594
No, you didn't. Your dad just sorta...
128
00:05:45,262 --> 00:05:47,931
Overreacted? He's a dad, you know.
129
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:50,183
Yeah. I know we're never gonna be alone.
130
00:05:50,267 --> 00:05:53,854
Why don't you come to the residence?
Secret Service doesn't go upstairs.
131
00:05:53,937 --> 00:05:57,065
Yeah, your mom was real happy
when she caught me there last time.
132
00:05:58,149 --> 00:06:00,318
What about your house?
133
00:06:00,402 --> 00:06:03,113
- Can you pull it off?
- Probably not.
134
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:05,824
Well, maybe if there were
other kids there, you know.
135
00:06:06,408 --> 00:06:07,993
I could have a party.
136
00:06:08,076 --> 00:06:09,953
Oh, your parents
would have to be home.
137
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:11,872
I'm at my dad's this weekend.
He's cool.
138
00:06:11,955 --> 00:06:14,249
[bell rings]
139
00:06:14,332 --> 00:06:15,834
Huh?
140
00:06:15,917 --> 00:06:18,128
- OK.
- You're a genius.
141
00:06:19,462 --> 00:06:23,383
President Allen will carefully follow
General Keaton's confirmation hearings
142
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:25,969
- at the House.
- [reporters clamoring]
143
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:29,222
Is it true the hearings will be
the first C-SPAN program
144
00:06:29,306 --> 00:06:31,683
to be blocked by the V-chip
for coarse language?
145
00:06:31,766 --> 00:06:33,226
[chuckling]
146
00:06:33,310 --> 00:06:37,606
Kelly, does the president have
any comment on Evan Hutchins' book?
147
00:06:38,815 --> 00:06:41,026
- I'm sorry?
- Specifically the charge he makes
148
00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:43,153
that, on his deathbed,
President Bridges
149
00:06:43,236 --> 00:06:45,488
asked Mackenzie Allen to resign
150
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,866
rather than assume the presidency.
151
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,131
[man] What was most frustrating
to the Bridges team was
152
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:06,343
Mackenzie Allen putting
her principles over party loyalty.
153
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:09,512
- I can't hear myself think.
- At a meeting with donors who raised
154
00:07:09,596 --> 00:07:12,015
- over $250,000 in...
- [mutes sound]
155
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:13,433
You can't ignore this, Mac.
156
00:07:13,516 --> 00:07:15,685
If the country feels
you betrayed his wishes
157
00:07:15,769 --> 00:07:17,520
they'll view you as illegitimate.
158
00:07:17,604 --> 00:07:19,689
They'll view me
as even more illegitimate
159
00:07:19,773 --> 00:07:21,358
if I don't do my job as president.
160
00:07:21,441 --> 00:07:23,777
I am determined to sign
my first executive order,
161
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:26,821
and I want it to be
the Richmond education initiative.
162
00:07:26,905 --> 00:07:28,281
- Good.
- Jim is pushing me
163
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:30,367
to sign Bridges' space initiative.
164
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:32,661
He thinks it will be
a nice tribute to Teddy.
165
00:07:32,744 --> 00:07:38,500
Mac, are you getting this? This book
is symptomatic of a bigger problem.
166
00:07:38,583 --> 00:07:41,962
A lot of these details only
a very few people have access to.
167
00:07:42,045 --> 00:07:45,173
We have a dangerous, dangerous leak.
168
00:07:46,549 --> 00:07:50,178
- Jim was first to ask you to resign.
- Melanie was there next to him.
169
00:07:50,261 --> 00:07:52,973
The entire cabinet was aware
of what Bridges was asking.
170
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:56,351
- Jim was outside that hospital door.
- Look, Jim's hardheaded,
171
00:07:56,434 --> 00:08:00,230
but something like this, it's
completely outside of his character.
172
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:01,564
I'm not buying it.
173
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:05,610
- You need to read this, Mac.
- Why?
174
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:07,862
Because there is chapter after chapter
175
00:08:07,946 --> 00:08:10,323
of how Bridges wanted you out.
176
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:12,659
How he didn't trust your instincts.
177
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:16,204
You need to know what Bridges
really thought of you.
178
00:08:16,287 --> 00:08:19,374
Once you do that,
you can break the chain to him.
179
00:08:22,293 --> 00:08:23,837
[knock on door]
180
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:27,382
Jim.
181
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:31,011
- Madam President, the Keatons are here.
- Oh. Thank you.
182
00:08:34,347 --> 00:08:36,141
Abigail. Hey, Hunter.
183
00:08:36,224 --> 00:08:37,892
- Madam President.
- Warren.
184
00:08:37,976 --> 00:08:39,853
- General. Good to see you.
- Hello, Rod.
185
00:08:39,936 --> 00:08:41,312
Remember Abigail and Hunter?
186
00:08:41,396 --> 00:08:43,064
What do you think
of the White House?
187
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,608
- Looks bigger in Independence Day.
- [chuckling]
188
00:08:45,692 --> 00:08:48,695
Jim, give the General the news
out of Gallup. This is great.
189
00:08:48,894 --> 00:08:51,364
- Seventy-thirty, fave-unfave.
- In other words,
190
00:08:51,448 --> 00:08:54,451
I'll soon give you the scoop
on the vice presidential mansion.
191
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:56,703
- In all your spare time.
- [knock on door]
192
00:08:56,786 --> 00:08:58,455
General, we need to leave.
193
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:00,707
Go ahead. I'll catch up.
194
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:04,919
They're giving me a microphone today.
195
00:09:05,003 --> 00:09:06,504
I can say whatever you need.
196
00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:09,758
Tell 'em to go to hell in a flatbed
truck if they believe that book...
197
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:13,928
- General...
- I'll behave, Jim.
198
00:09:14,012 --> 00:09:15,388
Unless you don't want me to.
199
00:09:15,472 --> 00:09:17,474
Go kick some tail.
200
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,101
Just like you did
in the Senate, Warren.
201
00:09:21,478 --> 00:09:24,314
Ma'am, I've scheduled some time
for a presentation by NASA
202
00:09:24,397 --> 00:09:27,650
on the Mars initiative. I think
it could be a hell of a first EO.
203
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:31,321
OK. Well, I certainly will listen
to what they have to say.
204
00:09:32,363 --> 00:09:34,115
Any thoughts on that book, Jim?
205
00:09:35,283 --> 00:09:36,659
I haven't read it yet.
206
00:09:36,743 --> 00:09:38,787
Not sure if I'm going to.
207
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:43,166
It's 'cause he knows what's in it.
208
00:09:46,336 --> 00:09:48,129
Hey, Vince.
209
00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:51,174
How many did you get?
210
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,967
What are you talking about?
211
00:09:53,051 --> 00:09:54,844
Entries in the index.
212
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,013
Did you come here to give me
a hard time?
213
00:09:57,097 --> 00:10:00,100
Your lucky number came up.
Random drug screening today.
214
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:01,601
Sign here.
215
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:06,648
[sighs] Lucky me.
216
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:19,202
[man] Ladies and gentlemen,
please take your seats.
217
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,121
The hearings are about to begin.
218
00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:27,836
I am proud to chair this hearing
219
00:10:27,919 --> 00:10:30,547
that celebrates the 25th Amendment.
220
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:35,009
This is only the third time that
such a hearing has taken place.
221
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,823
- General, we welcome you.
- Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
222
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:42,308
Will you please stand for
the administration of the oath?
223
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:47,689
Do you solemnly swear
that the testimony
224
00:10:47,772 --> 00:10:50,275
that you will give before
this confirmation committee
225
00:10:50,567 --> 00:10:52,902
will be the truth, the whole truth
226
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:55,155
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
227
00:10:55,238 --> 00:10:56,656
I do so affirm.
228
00:10:58,366 --> 00:11:01,369
Well, this should be painless.
Sit, please.
229
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:07,041
Some of you were less interested
in analyzing Mr. Sinclair's book
230
00:11:07,125 --> 00:11:11,045
than in regurgitating its contents.
231
00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:12,881
I've read The Jungle, guys.
232
00:11:12,964 --> 00:11:15,300
- I know what happens.
- [school bell rings]
233
00:11:16,467 --> 00:11:18,720
[cell phone beeps]
234
00:11:21,598 --> 00:11:22,932
Horace.
235
00:11:25,602 --> 00:11:26,895
About your essay...
236
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,397
Yeah, I guess I kinda waited
till the last minute.
237
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,316
It's not like it's the first time.
238
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,319
Look, you're gonna have to get
that one signed by a parent.
239
00:11:34,402 --> 00:11:36,654
- Seriously?
- And I need a rewrite by Monday.
240
00:11:38,281 --> 00:11:39,616
OK.
241
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:43,077
I noticed you signed up to meet with
the Annapolis reps on college night.
242
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:44,120
Yeah.
243
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:47,081
Any private college would love
to have the president's kid.
244
00:11:47,165 --> 00:11:50,543
Annapolis, on top of being the toughest
school in the nation to get into,
245
00:11:50,627 --> 00:11:53,296
- is funded by the government.
- I'm sorry?
246
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:57,342
You picked the only school you can't
just skate into based on who you are.
247
00:11:57,425 --> 00:12:00,261
Or rather, who your mother is.
248
00:12:02,472 --> 00:12:05,099
General, how vital is it
for a vice president
249
00:12:05,183 --> 00:12:07,268
to be loyal to the president?
250
00:12:07,352 --> 00:12:10,230
Well, there are many definitions
of loyalty, Mr. Chairman.
251
00:12:10,313 --> 00:12:13,816
But personally, I always took it
as a mark of loyalty
252
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,320
when the officers under my command
gave me their honest opinion.
253
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:20,156
But you never expected them
to disagree with you in public
254
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,743
- or in the line of duty?
- That would be safe to say, sir.
255
00:12:23,826 --> 00:12:24,911
I bet.
256
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:27,372
You'd expect them to obey an order,
257
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:30,458
- once given, to the letter. Yes?
- Without fail.
258
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:34,462
So, what is your opinion of
then-Vice President Mackenzie Allen's
259
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:37,131
alleged refusal to obey a direct order
260
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:39,926
from her president to resign?
261
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:43,763
Well, without firsthand information
262
00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:46,516
I'm hardly qualified to comment, am I?
263
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:52,397
Still, um, it's hard not to think
if... if she had stepped down,
264
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,816
let's see, uh,
265
00:12:54,899 --> 00:12:57,860
the next in line would've been, uh...
266
00:12:57,944 --> 00:13:00,530
- [crowd laughing]
- The name escapes me.
267
00:13:00,613 --> 00:13:02,865
[applause]
268
00:13:04,784 --> 00:13:08,496
How about this comment
from the vice presidential debates?
269
00:13:08,579 --> 00:13:10,999
You said, and I quote,
270
00:13:11,082 --> 00:13:14,377
"Mackenzie Allen was chosen
271
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:19,465
because Teddy Bridges
needed help with soccer moms."
272
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,096
Do you stand by that comment?
273
00:13:25,179 --> 00:13:26,973
I do, sir.
274
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:31,227
And I'm extremely grateful to all
those soccer moms that elected her.
275
00:13:33,396 --> 00:13:36,774
For someone who is
hardly qualified to comment,
276
00:13:36,858 --> 00:13:39,068
you comment a lot, don't you, general?
277
00:13:46,617 --> 00:13:49,162
Come on, Kelly.
Did he ask her to resign?
278
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,331
You know the rules.
We don't comment on...
279
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:54,417
[man] Anonymous sources.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
280
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:57,128
- We off the record?
- Depends on what you're selling.
281
00:13:57,211 --> 00:13:59,839
Misquotes and inaccuracies
about the president.
282
00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:01,299
Report on that for a change.
283
00:14:01,382 --> 00:14:05,261
We're not shills for Mackenzie Allen,
Kelly. I gotta get inside.
284
00:14:08,014 --> 00:14:10,975
So, uh, what's the "what"
with you and Clooney?
285
00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:13,227
Oh, come on. A lady never tells.
286
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:18,983
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.
287
00:14:19,984 --> 00:14:21,235
What's up, honey?
288
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:24,655
Um, I have a question for you,
but, you know, it's probably bad timing.
289
00:14:24,739 --> 00:14:27,492
- You're gonna say no anyway.
- What am I gonna say no to?
290
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:31,537
There's a party tomorrow night. There's
gonna be lots of other kids there.
291
00:14:31,621 --> 00:14:34,540
- Whose party?
- Mike's.
292
00:14:34,624 --> 00:14:35,666
You're right. No.
293
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:39,545
Listen, Dad, I know I messed up last
week, and I'm... I'm really sorry but...
294
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,257
Dad, I just need to be
with other kids my age
295
00:14:43,341 --> 00:14:45,927
where I'm not being watched
every second.
296
00:14:46,010 --> 00:14:49,597
- I don't know, Rebecca.
- Dad, I'm a 4.0 student.
297
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,724
I don't drink, I don't do drugs.
298
00:14:52,392 --> 00:14:54,644
I mean, haven't I earned your trust?
299
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,396
Are there going to be adults there?
300
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:59,524
Mike's dad and about
30 Secret Service agents.
301
00:15:00,942 --> 00:15:04,028
- OK.
- Really? Because, Dad...
302
00:15:04,112 --> 00:15:06,781
Just take yes for an answer, Becca.
303
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:09,742
- OK.
- OK.
304
00:15:12,954 --> 00:15:15,623
General, when I look
at your financial statements,
305
00:15:15,706 --> 00:15:17,667
I have to admit, I am a little envious.
306
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:20,711
- Well, Bill Gates sure isn't.
- [chuckling]
307
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:24,424
You sit on seven corporate boards.
308
00:15:24,507 --> 00:15:28,678
Two of those companies do billions of
dollars of business with the Pentagon,
309
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:32,181
where a former officer of yours
is head of procurement and...
310
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:36,352
Congressman, if you'll check
page 36 of these documents,
311
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:39,230
I think you'll see that any fees
I've received
312
00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:41,524
as director of these corporations
313
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,234
have been donated to charity.
314
00:15:51,409 --> 00:15:53,870
Hey, Vince. You have something
to go to the NSC?
315
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,580
Yeah.
316
00:15:55,663 --> 00:15:57,582
- It's here. Thanks.
- Thank you.
317
00:15:57,665 --> 00:16:00,543
Did you know all this was happening
between Mac and Bridges?
318
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:03,421
I didn't know a thing.
I think it's a bunch of bull.
319
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,883
- She's cool.
- She is.
320
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:10,261
Hey, Andrew, how long does it
usually take to get a drug test back?
321
00:16:10,344 --> 00:16:14,015
What do you care? You wouldn't recognize
a bong in a Cheech and Chong film.
322
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:24,233
- Hey, Vince.
- Hello, Horace.
323
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:28,696
- What's that?
- It's called an autopen.
324
00:16:28,779 --> 00:16:32,158
Saves your mom many hours
of work a day. Came in during JFK.
325
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:35,244
Cool. Is she around?
326
00:16:35,912 --> 00:16:37,830
Uh, she's in a meeting.
327
00:16:37,914 --> 00:16:40,791
She should be wrapping up soon.
You can wait if you want.
328
00:16:40,875 --> 00:16:42,335
Ah, thanks.
329
00:16:45,922 --> 00:16:48,966
Want to get this book off the front
page? You have to create news.
330
00:16:49,050 --> 00:16:52,094
This education initiative of yours
is solid, but it's not sexy.
331
00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:54,138
This space initiative was Teddy's dream.
332
00:16:54,222 --> 00:16:57,725
You sign it, you eliminate the charges
that you were disloyal to him.
333
00:16:58,601 --> 00:17:01,103
What's the temperature
with our friends in the press?
334
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:03,606
So far, the press isn't biting
on the inaccuracies,
335
00:17:03,689 --> 00:17:06,776
since we haven't denied the allegations
he asked you to resign.
336
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:09,862
Tomorrow's papers are gonna be full
of attacking editorials.
337
00:17:09,946 --> 00:17:12,865
Polling about whether or not
you should remain in office.
338
00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:15,535
- Good thing I don't govern by polls.
- [knock on door]
339
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:19,497
- Ma'am, your son is here to see you.
- Thank you, Vince.
340
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,417
- Let's keep talking about this.
- Yes, ma'am.
341
00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:27,964
[male announcer]
This is The War Room…
342
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,007
Hey, baby.
343
00:17:30,091 --> 00:17:33,010
- Thought I'd give you a lift home.
- Oh, thank you.
344
00:17:33,094 --> 00:17:35,179
- [Jim] I'll be in my office.
- Hey, uh, Jim?
345
00:17:35,263 --> 00:17:38,724
Why don't you call it a night? This'll
all still be here in the morning.
346
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:40,935
Right, ma'am.
347
00:17:41,769 --> 00:17:44,897
Hey, so you came all the way
downstairs just to walk me upstairs?
348
00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:48,317
That's very sweet. I do have
to stay here a little bit longer.
349
00:17:48,401 --> 00:17:51,487
Well, there's this...
there's this one thing. I got this...
350
00:17:51,571 --> 00:17:53,030
Kelly, Vince, go home.
351
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:56,075
A good employee never leaves
before his boss, ma'am.
352
00:17:56,158 --> 00:17:58,953
I'm gonna get a jump
on tomorrow's briefing. Good night.
353
00:17:59,036 --> 00:18:01,539
- Good night, Kelly.
- What were you saying?
354
00:18:01,622 --> 00:18:04,917
Uh, nothing, really. I mean, I...
355
00:18:05,001 --> 00:18:09,797
You know, I'm sorry. Just give me
one second here. Sorry.
356
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,551
[man on TV] One of them is dead, and
the other is not exactly talking to you.
357
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,679
She doesn't have to.
I can cite Ms. Allen's words.
358
00:18:19,473 --> 00:18:22,018
[Hutchins] "Tonight,
from his hospital bed,
359
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:24,854
our beloved president
has asked me to honor his wishes
360
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:28,024
and resign the office
of the vice president."
361
00:18:28,107 --> 00:18:31,569
This is handwritten. It was delivered
anonymously to me this morning.
362
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:34,155
That was supposed to be
the resignation speech
363
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:36,365
that Mackenzie Allen
was gonna deliver...
364
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,787
Mom?
365
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,460
- Everything's gonna be OK, right?
- Oh, yeah. It'll just go away.
366
00:18:47,543 --> 00:18:51,088
Um, I am gonna have
to stick around for a little bit.
367
00:18:51,172 --> 00:18:53,090
- Yeah.
- Was there something you needed?
368
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:56,886
- Nah. I'll see you later.
- Sure. OK. 'Night, baby.
369
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:05,311
[clock ticking]
370
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,736
- [knock on door]
- [Bridges] Yeah. Come on.
371
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,863
I'm gonna lose 20 bucks
to Hendrickson.
372
00:19:15,946 --> 00:19:18,532
Miami's not gonna cover.
373
00:19:18,616 --> 00:19:21,619
Watch this. OK, he's open.
Hit 'em. Hit 'em.
374
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:23,913
- Wow.
- Oh, well.
375
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:27,083
Miami never covers on AstroTurf
when it's below freezing.
376
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:30,294
The receivers aren't used
to the kind of cleats they have to wear.
377
00:19:32,213 --> 00:19:34,799
- You're happily married, right?
- To my job.
378
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:38,636
Yeah. So did you see
the schedule for the summit?
379
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:40,346
Sure.
380
00:19:40,429 --> 00:19:42,765
- Took a pencil to it, re-routed things.
- Mm-hm.
381
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:45,184
I thought we'd find
a more appropriate use for you
382
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:48,354
than meeting with their defense minister
about the West Bank Wall.
383
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:52,525
OK. Well, you know, I'm pretty
well ensconced in that region. Wall…
384
00:19:52,608 --> 00:19:55,611
Oh, yeah, I know you are.
But Francis is all up in arms about it.
385
00:19:55,695 --> 00:19:56,779
He thought it should be
386
00:19:56,862 --> 00:20:00,658
more of a defense minister to defense
minister kind of thing. Oh, baby!
387
00:20:03,786 --> 00:20:07,248
So how can I be of service, if it's not
meeting with the defense minister?
388
00:20:07,331 --> 00:20:10,710
Uh, Jim wants you to hook up
with the culture minister.
389
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:12,128
- Jim does? OK.
- Yeah.
390
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:15,756
The Israelis think you might be able
to help out with a cultural exchange.
391
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,717
It's a whole PR thing. It's great.
392
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,511
OK, then, I better get with Jim.
393
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:22,138
Get briefed.
394
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:24,140
- Mac.
- Yeah.
395
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:27,518
It's important, you know.
It's culture and all.
396
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:31,147
Then thank you
for the vote of confidence.
397
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:33,399
You're welcome.
398
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,152
- [Rod] Mac?
- [clock chiming]
399
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,903
Hey.
400
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:42,158
We've found several dozen mistakes.
401
00:20:42,241 --> 00:20:45,494
You should stop, you know.
Trying to discredit him.
402
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:48,247
He got most of it right.
403
00:20:49,290 --> 00:20:50,750
It began with Israel.
404
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:53,169
That's when they decided
to get rid of me.
405
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:55,171
That's when it started.
406
00:20:55,254 --> 00:20:58,924
I didn't see it before,
but it's clear now.
407
00:21:00,301 --> 00:21:02,803
Those are some anonymous sources
Hutchins had.
408
00:21:02,887 --> 00:21:05,973
Oh, anonymous my ass.
It was Jim.
409
00:21:06,056 --> 00:21:08,851
You should just outright ask him.
410
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,519
You were a prosecutor.
411
00:21:10,603 --> 00:21:12,688
Look him in the eyes
when he answers you.
412
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:14,398
You'll know if he's lying.
413
00:21:16,442 --> 00:21:19,695
- You coming up?
- I want to finish the book.
414
00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:22,865
I want to see how it ends
with Kelly and George Clooney.
415
00:21:26,911 --> 00:21:28,788
[woman] As many as 300 protesters
416
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:30,790
gathered in front of
the White House today
417
00:21:30,873 --> 00:21:34,043
in reaction to allegations made
in Evan Hutchins tell-all book.
418
00:21:34,126 --> 00:21:36,045
- Hey, Amy.
- Two arrests were made...
419
00:21:36,128 --> 00:21:38,297
You know, you shouldn't be
watching this.
420
00:21:39,757 --> 00:21:42,092
Why do all those people
hate Mommy?
421
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,347
It's just the way people are sometimes.
422
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:48,265
But they don't even know her.
423
00:21:48,349 --> 00:21:51,018
I know. It's just…
424
00:21:51,101 --> 00:21:53,395
That's what's hard about
being president
425
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:56,398
is people think they do.
426
00:21:56,482 --> 00:21:58,901
Do you hate Mommy too?
427
00:21:59,777 --> 00:22:00,945
Why would you say that?
428
00:22:01,028 --> 00:22:03,739
'Cause you didn't want her
being president either.
429
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:05,825
You said she should step aside.
430
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,371
Can I tell you a secret?
431
00:22:10,454 --> 00:22:13,791
But you can't tell anyone. Promise?
432
00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:18,629
I think Mommy is
a great woman. [laughs]
433
00:22:18,712 --> 00:22:20,798
But hey, you need
to get ready for school.
434
00:22:22,675 --> 00:22:26,512
So who was there that night?
At the Observatory.
435
00:22:26,595 --> 00:22:30,266
- Now, who had access to the letter?
- Full house from what I remember.
436
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:33,102
Lots of staffers. Melanie Blackston,
437
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:34,979
Speaker Templeton...
438
00:22:36,397 --> 00:22:37,648
Gardner.
439
00:22:42,403 --> 00:22:44,280
Look at that anger.
440
00:22:53,873 --> 00:22:56,292
- Hi, Agent Powers.
- Hi. Where's Rebecca?
441
00:22:56,375 --> 00:22:58,627
- Uh…
- Sorry. I just had to get my stuff.
442
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:02,089
- Becca, can I have a minute?
- Um, sure.
443
00:23:02,172 --> 00:23:04,842
Uh, I understand that you want
to go to a party tonight
444
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:07,344
at 1327 Claremont Street?
445
00:23:07,428 --> 00:23:08,554
Yeah.
446
00:23:08,637 --> 00:23:11,557
We've done a background check
on the family that lives there.
447
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,101
We'll secure the location,
set up a perimeter,
448
00:23:14,184 --> 00:23:18,522
place agents in the residence and be on
alert for any illegal underage activity.
449
00:23:18,606 --> 00:23:20,858
- What?
- Just messing with you.
450
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:22,985
We are putting a detail
outside the house,
451
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:26,196
- and you'll have a panic button.
- Um, sure.
452
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,115
[man] Kelly, we'd like a statement.
453
00:23:28,198 --> 00:23:30,534
I'd like a week in Maui,
but we both have to wait.
454
00:23:30,618 --> 00:23:32,703
Shouldn't the president resign
this time?
455
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:35,331
- I won't comment.
- There's national outrage...
456
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,166
And no comment means no comment.
457
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:40,127
Kelly, I'm not asking about
the resignation speech, OK?
458
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:42,171
- What then?
- No politics.
459
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:44,882
You and Clooney.
A human interest piece.
460
00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:49,470
I'll tell you what.
461
00:23:49,553 --> 00:23:52,348
You write a piece on
the president's first 50 days in office
462
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:56,685
and all she's accomplished in it,
and in return... Clooney.
463
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:02,191
- Ma'am? You asked to see me?
- Yes. I did.
464
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:05,819
Listen, I know you feel strongly
about Teddy's executive order,
465
00:24:05,903 --> 00:24:08,280
but I have decided to stick with my own.
466
00:24:08,364 --> 00:24:11,492
Ma'am, as I've said before,
right now, it is important to show...
467
00:24:11,575 --> 00:24:14,495
My agenda. Do you know how many
more people would go to college
468
00:24:14,578 --> 00:24:16,705
if they had interest-free student loans,
469
00:24:16,789 --> 00:24:20,334
in exchange for teaching
three years at our public schools?
470
00:24:20,417 --> 00:24:23,921
I know Teddy was in love
with a manned mission to Mars,
471
00:24:24,004 --> 00:24:25,339
and I am too,
472
00:24:25,422 --> 00:24:29,385
but not as much as I am with fixing
what needs to be done here, on Earth.
473
00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:32,221
- I'll make sure that it gets drafted.
- It already has been.
474
00:24:32,304 --> 00:24:34,264
I had it done when I was vice president.
475
00:24:34,348 --> 00:24:37,017
The president put it in a drawer.
476
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:42,189
- Have you seen the protestors on TV?
- I did.
477
00:24:42,272 --> 00:24:45,067
Teddy never should have
asked me to resign
478
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:49,571
or put me in the position of having
the citizens question my presidency.
479
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:53,450
- Ma'am, with all due respect...
- But perhaps not with all due loyalty.
480
00:24:55,077 --> 00:24:56,870
Jim, I need to know.
481
00:24:56,954 --> 00:24:59,415
Are you the source of the leaks?
482
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:02,876
Did you tell Evan Hutchins
that Teddy asked me to step down?
483
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,628
No.
484
00:25:05,879 --> 00:25:08,298
But if you believe I did,
then we've got a problem.
485
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:18,892
You'll have my resignation on your desk
by the end of the business day.
486
00:25:39,705 --> 00:25:41,665
[muttering]
487
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:45,377
[footsteps approaching]
488
00:25:47,129 --> 00:25:50,507
- Wanna play chess? I'm pretty good.
- Not right now.
489
00:25:52,801 --> 00:25:54,636
Yesterday at school,
490
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,515
we spelled all the words
we could think of starting with a D.
491
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:01,226
[sighs] Can you leave me alone, Ames?
492
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:04,980
- Like dinosaurs, dolphins, dummy...
- Amy!
493
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,733
I can't think. Go.
494
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:10,402
You're mean.
495
00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:18,077
[dance music playing]
496
00:26:23,373 --> 00:26:25,000
- [Rebecca gasps]
- Whoa, watch it.
497
00:26:25,084 --> 00:26:26,293
Sorry.
498
00:26:26,376 --> 00:26:30,255
- Do you have a towel or something?
- Yeah, uh, upstairs.
499
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:33,342
You wanna go up to my room?
It's getting kinda crowded in here.
500
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:35,385
Um, well, where's your dad?
501
00:26:35,469 --> 00:26:37,846
Ah, watching football somewhere.
502
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,557
Don't worry. The door's got a lock.
503
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:42,684
- Oh, great.
- [cell phone beeps]
504
00:26:42,768 --> 00:26:44,895
- [boy] Where is everyone?
- Hello?
505
00:26:44,978 --> 00:26:48,398
Leave me alone, Ricky.
Becca, where are you?
506
00:26:48,482 --> 00:26:50,067
Hey, I'm over here by the stairs.
507
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,528
- Where are you?
- Oh, OK. I see you.
508
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:56,740
- Oh, hey.
- [Ricky] But you rode with me.
509
00:26:56,824 --> 00:27:00,035
- Is Horace here yet?
- He's home working on a school paper.
510
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:01,829
- Seriously?
- I'm sorry.
511
00:27:01,912 --> 00:27:03,080
[Ricky] Jen!
512
00:27:03,872 --> 00:27:04,998
Bec, come on. Let's go.
513
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:07,543
Don't you dare leave me alone
with him. I'm serious.
514
00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:09,628
- Please stay.
- I'll see you later.
515
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,884
[phone rings]
516
00:27:23,684 --> 00:27:25,769
[click, machine humming]
517
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:29,648
What's going on, Horace?
518
00:27:31,358 --> 00:27:33,777
My teacher asked me
to get Mom's autograph.
519
00:27:33,861 --> 00:27:36,572
- I didn't want to bug her...
- You shouldn't be using that.
520
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:39,158
- Vince should've put it away.
- Uh, sorry.
521
00:27:42,035 --> 00:27:44,371
So I smiled.
522
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:45,622
And then he smiled at me.
523
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:49,626
And when he walked across the room,
it was like he was, um...
524
00:27:49,710 --> 00:27:51,712
I don't know, gliding.
525
00:27:51,795 --> 00:27:53,422
- Gliding?
- Yeah.
526
00:27:53,505 --> 00:27:57,259
And, uh, he didn't say a word. He just
put his hand on the small of my back...
527
00:27:57,342 --> 00:28:00,429
- Uh, go on.
- ...and kissed my neck.
528
00:28:00,512 --> 00:28:03,015
You ever start spinning
from a kiss, Steve?
529
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:05,184
[chuckles] Uh, yeah, sure.
530
00:28:05,267 --> 00:28:07,811
Yeah. And then he, um,
he pulled me closer...
531
00:28:07,895 --> 00:28:10,939
- Wow. Um, this is for real?
- No.
532
00:28:11,023 --> 00:28:13,942
- No?
- No. No. None of it.
533
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:17,112
Check the inauguration guest list.
He's not even on it.
534
00:28:17,196 --> 00:28:18,989
It's just one of the 37
other mistakes
535
00:28:19,072 --> 00:28:21,450
our staff has found
in the Hutchins book so far.
536
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:25,370
- Which means I have nothing?
- Yes, but you have it exclusively.
537
00:28:25,454 --> 00:28:28,832
You post the story on
President Allen's first 50 days yet?
538
00:28:28,916 --> 00:28:32,044
- Runs tomorrow.
- Great.
539
00:28:35,839 --> 00:28:39,009
[Templeton] The gentleman
from Texas has the floor.
540
00:28:39,092 --> 00:28:41,845
[Ferrer] Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
541
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:43,805
I know everyone's tired,
542
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:46,475
so before we adjourn,
I was wondering, general,
543
00:28:46,558 --> 00:28:48,936
if we could get to know you
better as a man.
544
00:28:50,771 --> 00:28:52,648
[Ferrer] You played football for Army.
545
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:55,108
I got knocked around
a little bit. Yes, sir.
546
00:28:55,192 --> 00:28:57,069
Hope you're a Redskins fan.
547
00:28:57,152 --> 00:29:00,822
- Compromise is part of the job.
- [crowd laughing]
548
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:03,784
- And you've been married...?
- Thirty-five years.
549
00:29:03,867 --> 00:29:06,370
My wife says we have
a good first marriage.
550
00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:08,455
[laughing]
551
00:29:08,538 --> 00:29:11,375
[Ferrer] I've read you lost
your daughter.
552
00:29:11,458 --> 00:29:12,709
I'm very sorry.
553
00:29:12,793 --> 00:29:15,087
She sounded
like a remarkable woman.
554
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:16,672
She was.
555
00:29:16,755 --> 00:29:19,841
Abby and I are raising our grandchild.
556
00:29:19,925 --> 00:29:22,886
- Single mother, was she?
- Not that it matters,
557
00:29:22,970 --> 00:29:25,555
but yes, she was.
558
00:29:25,639 --> 00:29:28,308
[Ferrer] A doctor who herself
became a patient.
559
00:29:29,017 --> 00:29:30,435
Tragic.
560
00:29:32,354 --> 00:29:33,689
It was.
561
00:29:34,690 --> 00:29:37,192
Excuse my ignorance here,
but, um...
562
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:40,070
...I fail to understand
the relevance of any of this.
563
00:29:40,153 --> 00:29:44,157
Everything about a candidate
is subject to consideration.
564
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:48,078
- So your daughter...
- The gentleman from Texas will yield.
565
00:29:49,371 --> 00:29:50,998
[Ferrer] I will, sir.
566
00:29:55,711 --> 00:29:57,379
The hour is late.
567
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:00,966
I propose we resume these hearings
568
00:30:01,049 --> 00:30:03,218
on Monday morning.
569
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:06,430
- Thank you, general.
- Mr. Chairman.
570
00:30:26,742 --> 00:30:28,660
[Templeton laughs]
571
00:30:28,744 --> 00:30:30,120
You're doing great.
572
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:33,457
In the old days I would've
challenged you to a duel.
573
00:30:36,752 --> 00:30:38,712
You know my chief of staff,
Jayne Murray.
574
00:30:38,795 --> 00:30:40,630
- How do you do?
- General.
575
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:43,091
Sit down. Please.
576
00:30:43,175 --> 00:30:44,593
- Drink?
- No.
577
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:46,553
- Boss?
- No, thanks.
578
00:30:46,636 --> 00:30:49,848
You know exactly where this line
of questioning is headed, don't you?
579
00:30:49,931 --> 00:30:51,683
I do.
580
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:54,770
I assume it was my good friend
Congressman Wilcox
581
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:58,774
who put me in this situation,
who betrayed me.
582
00:30:58,857 --> 00:31:01,360
There's one thing I can't abide.
583
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:06,990
Private lives, personal tragedies
must be respected.
584
00:31:08,575 --> 00:31:10,243
What do you want, Nate?
585
00:31:10,327 --> 00:31:12,788
You want me to withdraw my name?
586
00:31:12,871 --> 00:31:15,290
You want to embarrass
the president? Me?
587
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:18,085
Tell me what the agenda is,
and we can get to it.
588
00:31:18,168 --> 00:31:20,253
We'll take an up-and-down vote.
589
00:31:21,671 --> 00:31:24,299
[scoffs] Ferrer is just grandstanding.
590
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:26,385
He's not fooling anybody on the Hill.
591
00:31:26,468 --> 00:31:30,263
Your good buddy Wilcox?
He disgusts me.
592
00:31:30,347 --> 00:31:32,182
His disloyalty to you.
593
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:34,601
And your grandchild?
594
00:31:34,684 --> 00:31:36,812
Don't you worry about a thing.
595
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:38,897
It's done. Buried.
596
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:40,982
Gone away with, I promise you.
597
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:45,404
So you just call a vote?
598
00:31:45,487 --> 00:31:48,281
- You can do that?
- I'm the boss.
599
00:31:48,365 --> 00:31:50,659
[Murray] Democrats love you,
most Republicans
600
00:31:50,742 --> 00:31:52,994
just want the government back
into one piece.
601
00:31:53,078 --> 00:31:57,124
The whip says that right now, the
confirmation's pretty much in the bag.
602
00:31:57,207 --> 00:31:59,292
But if we let this Ferrer thing go...
603
00:32:00,168 --> 00:32:01,294
...it could get dicey.
604
00:32:01,378 --> 00:32:05,298
I'd have preferred it if she'd chosen
somebody from my party, but she didn't.
605
00:32:05,382 --> 00:32:07,968
She's a loose cannon.
With you we got lucky.
606
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:10,637
You're a bona fide leader.
607
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,640
You're somebody who can say
good night to this country,
608
00:32:13,723 --> 00:32:15,142
and we'll sleep OK.
609
00:32:15,225 --> 00:32:18,311
[Murray] By tomorrow you could be
vice president, general.
610
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:21,731
We've put out a quorum call.
611
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:31,366
I won't forget this.
612
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,034
I'm counting on that.
613
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:35,203
Hey.
614
00:32:38,582 --> 00:32:40,792
It's crazy, isn't it?
615
00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:46,214
The politics of personal destruction,
of character assassination.
616
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:51,094
It's gotten so mean up here.
617
00:32:52,345 --> 00:32:55,348
- It has.
- [clasping hands]
618
00:32:55,432 --> 00:32:57,100
Take care.
619
00:33:00,687 --> 00:33:03,565
With what we've got...
620
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,317
...we own him.
621
00:33:07,027 --> 00:33:09,196
I think I'll have that drink.
622
00:33:14,618 --> 00:33:16,661
[Ricky] The funniest part
was he was like...
623
00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,872
- [Horace] Jenny.
- Hey.
624
00:33:18,955 --> 00:33:21,917
I thought you had to write
a paper or something.
625
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,710
Yeah, I took care of it.
626
00:33:23,793 --> 00:33:26,796
- Great.
- So where's the beer?
627
00:33:32,427 --> 00:33:33,929
[knock on door]
628
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,555
Ma'am. A minute?
629
00:33:37,474 --> 00:33:39,809
- That for me?
- Yes, ma'am.
630
00:33:41,311 --> 00:33:45,524
I wanted you to know that
regardless of what you may think,
631
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:48,151
it's been my honor to serve you.
632
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:50,987
Thank you.
633
00:33:51,071 --> 00:33:54,407
[footsteps leaving]
634
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:57,994
Ma'am, I have to say,
635
00:33:58,078 --> 00:34:02,958
I found a passage in the book regarding
the North Korean disarmament talks.
636
00:34:03,041 --> 00:34:05,877
When you suggested
a secret bilateral negotiation,
637
00:34:05,961 --> 00:34:09,214
- how Teddy berated you for it.
- I remember that night well.
638
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:10,549
My ears are still ringing.
639
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:13,426
There was just the three of us,
and I never spoke of it again.
640
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:15,428
I'm fairly certain you didn't either.
641
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:19,808
And yet Hutchins details it
with remarkable accuracy.
642
00:34:22,894 --> 00:34:25,981
Are you saying Teddy himself
was Hutchins' source?
643
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:30,610
The truth is
644
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:34,114
he would use Hutchins often when
he wanted to get something out there.
645
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:36,658
They were friends in that way.
646
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:39,035
Why would Teddy
want to paint me so badly?
647
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:41,580
I think he saw you as someone
whose presence
648
00:34:41,663 --> 00:34:44,916
was becoming larger
than the presidency itself.
649
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,086
And he was right.
650
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:51,631
The difference is that he thought
that you were a threat to his legacy,
651
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:54,551
that you were overshadowing him.
And I thought...
652
00:34:56,886 --> 00:35:00,015
I thought you yourself
were the legacy.
653
00:35:06,479 --> 00:35:09,983
He couldn't have given him
my resignation speech.
654
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:12,819
That's as much a mystery to me
as it is to you.
655
00:35:15,405 --> 00:35:17,991
Good night. And good luck.
656
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:29,836
- [Vince] Mr. Gardner.
- What is it, Vince?
657
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:33,590
I need to talk to you. I could talk to
the president but thought the chain...
658
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:36,259
Maybe you should go to her directly.
I gotta get home.
659
00:35:36,343 --> 00:35:38,887
I'm gonna come back positive.
660
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:40,847
- From the drug screening.
- Pardon me?
661
00:35:40,930 --> 00:35:43,725
When the tests come back,
I'm gonna come up positive...
662
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:46,311
Stop. Now you need to get a lawyer.
663
00:35:46,394 --> 00:35:48,605
It's not for coke or meth
or anything like that.
664
00:35:48,688 --> 00:35:51,900
- Vince.
- It's... I'm HIV-positive.
665
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:55,945
My God, Vince.
666
00:35:57,072 --> 00:36:00,158
Nobody knows. About the disease.
667
00:36:00,241 --> 00:36:01,534
About the drug.
668
00:36:01,618 --> 00:36:03,995
About anything.
669
00:36:05,205 --> 00:36:08,124
- I just don't know what to do.
- Look, Vince, I want to help you.
670
00:36:08,208 --> 00:36:11,503
I really do, but you gotta trust me,
I can't hear another word.
671
00:36:11,586 --> 00:36:13,254
But what should I do?
672
00:36:15,006 --> 00:36:17,801
They don't test for that.
Only for controlled substances.
673
00:36:17,884 --> 00:36:20,095
Anything else is a violation
of your privacy.
674
00:36:20,178 --> 00:36:23,431
I doubt if you have anything
to worry about.
675
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,350
At least on that score.
676
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:31,940
Hey, kiddo.
677
00:36:32,023 --> 00:36:35,360
I just signed it.
My first executive order.
678
00:36:35,443 --> 00:36:37,612
- The education initiative.
- Mm-hm.
679
00:36:37,696 --> 00:36:39,698
Wow. I mean, that's it?
680
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:43,159
No fanfare? Just signed it? Alone?
681
00:36:43,243 --> 00:36:45,245
I'm a no-fanfare kind of president.
682
00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:50,417
Jim offered me his resignation.
683
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:53,503
- Good.
- He's not the leak.
684
00:36:54,212 --> 00:36:56,965
He's not the one who betrayed me.
I did what you said.
685
00:36:57,048 --> 00:36:59,926
I asked him. I looked in his eyes
when he answered.
686
00:37:00,009 --> 00:37:01,845
He didn't do it.
687
00:37:03,054 --> 00:37:04,389
OK.
688
00:37:04,472 --> 00:37:08,393
But this whole situation
has taught me something.
689
00:37:08,476 --> 00:37:11,730
That no matter what happens,
690
00:37:11,813 --> 00:37:17,152
there is only one person
that I know has my back.
691
00:37:23,283 --> 00:37:26,453
Well... Madam President.
692
00:37:27,746 --> 00:37:29,748
I don't want you to go to New York.
693
00:37:29,831 --> 00:37:33,293
I don't want you to be baseball
commissioner. I want you to stay here,
694
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:34,711
with me.
695
00:37:35,837 --> 00:37:37,505
I'd like that.
696
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:40,175
What's my title?
697
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,845
I haven't given it any thought.
698
00:37:44,846 --> 00:37:47,056
We can talk about it, though.
699
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:49,434
Kelly's waiting for us.
700
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:55,774
[rock music playing]
701
00:38:03,448 --> 00:38:05,950
- Mike.
- It's OK. I got some right here.
702
00:38:06,034 --> 00:38:07,494
[Rebecca] Mike, no.
703
00:38:07,577 --> 00:38:09,996
- Mike.
- What's wrong? It's OK.
704
00:38:10,079 --> 00:38:12,040
- Mike, you know what?
- It's OK, it's OK…
705
00:38:12,123 --> 00:38:14,250
No, Mike. [sighs]
706
00:38:14,334 --> 00:38:16,461
I don't know. I just...
707
00:38:18,129 --> 00:38:20,006
I'm sorry, I just can't.
708
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:23,384
It's all right.
709
00:38:23,468 --> 00:38:25,094
Really, it's fine.
710
00:38:25,178 --> 00:38:29,349
- I'm sorry. Please don't be mad.
- No. I'm not, OK?
711
00:38:29,432 --> 00:38:31,100
I'm not.
712
00:38:32,268 --> 00:38:36,606
Bec, look, I don't want you to do
anything that you're not ready to do.
713
00:38:38,233 --> 00:38:39,734
It's cool.
714
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:42,111
Really?
715
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:50,578
You leave first...
716
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,997
...so we're not seen
going down together.
717
00:38:54,499 --> 00:38:55,834
OK.
718
00:39:02,841 --> 00:39:05,009
- Sorry.
- Hey.
719
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:12,934
- [door closes]
- [sighs]
720
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,361
[beep]
721
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:32,871
Ladies and gentlemen,
the president of the United States.
722
00:39:34,163 --> 00:39:36,082
Good evening. Please be seated.
723
00:39:38,293 --> 00:39:40,086
A short time ago,
724
00:39:40,169 --> 00:39:42,881
I signed my first executive order
as president,
725
00:39:43,251 --> 00:39:45,592
EO 23019.
726
00:39:45,675 --> 00:39:48,803
It establishes a national program
727
00:39:48,887 --> 00:39:51,723
of interest-free student loans.
728
00:39:51,806 --> 00:39:55,643
This order will allow
thousands of students
729
00:39:55,727 --> 00:39:58,646
who otherwise would not have
a shot at a four-year education
730
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:00,356
to be provided with one.
731
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,235
It will be known as
the Bridges Student Loan Program.
732
00:40:04,944 --> 00:40:07,614
With that, I am happy to open
the floor to any questions.
733
00:40:07,697 --> 00:40:09,949
[reporters clamoring]
734
00:40:10,033 --> 00:40:11,284
- Luis.
- Madam President,
735
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:14,495
did President Bridges call on you
from his deathbed to resign?
736
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:21,002
You all want to know about this book,
737
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:23,713
about what is and isn't true?
738
00:40:23,796 --> 00:40:25,131
OK.
739
00:40:25,882 --> 00:40:28,176
This country deserves to hear
my answers.
740
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:31,596
So I am going to stand here
and give you answers,
741
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:34,706
until you have no more questions,
742
00:40:35,099 --> 00:40:38,186
and then I will not speak
to this subject again.
743
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:40,939
- Agreed?
- [reporters murmuring]
744
00:40:42,023 --> 00:40:44,442
I may be wrong, but I think
I'm going to need a seat.
745
00:40:52,617 --> 00:40:56,496
The answer to your question,
Luis, is yes.
746
00:40:57,622 --> 00:41:00,333
President Bridges was
a great leader and my friend,
747
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:03,378
but he had no authority
to ask that of me.
748
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:06,547
The Constitution not only empowers me,
749
00:41:06,631 --> 00:41:09,717
it requires me to become president.
750
00:41:09,801 --> 00:41:12,178
The people elected me to this position,
751
00:41:12,261 --> 00:41:15,056
and only the people
and their representatives
752
00:41:15,139 --> 00:41:17,308
can ask me to step down.
753
00:41:20,061 --> 00:41:22,921
I will never apologize
for doing my job.
754
00:41:23,398 --> 00:41:26,317
If anything, from this point on,
755
00:41:26,401 --> 00:41:29,070
I only pledge to do it better.
756
00:41:29,153 --> 00:41:32,991
- Next question.
- [reporters clamoring]
757
00:41:49,549 --> 00:41:51,884
[Murray] Jim, you should see this.
758
00:41:53,845 --> 00:41:56,264
The ayes are 386,
759
00:41:56,347 --> 00:41:58,766
and the nays are 46.
760
00:41:58,850 --> 00:42:02,395
- Your guy's about to be confirmed.
- The resolution to confirm is carried.
761
00:42:02,478 --> 00:42:04,605
Ladies and gentlemen,
762
00:42:04,689 --> 00:42:08,818
I present to you
General Warren Fitzgerald Keaton,
763
00:42:08,901 --> 00:42:12,905
vice president of
the United States of America.
