1
00:00:00,232 --> 00:00:02,178
[Mac] Previously on
Commander in Chief:
2
00:00:02,244 --> 00:00:04,146
The president has had a stroke.
3
00:00:04,213 --> 00:00:08,317
This is not the time for a woman
as the leader of the free world.
4
00:00:08,384 --> 00:00:11,120
I'm going out, and I am
going to take the oath of office.
5
00:00:11,187 --> 00:00:13,088
I want you to be my chief of staff.
6
00:00:13,155 --> 00:00:15,925
Make me a part of this administration,
or it won't work.
7
00:00:15,991 --> 00:00:18,194
Professionally or personally.
8
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:20,062
I'm moving Rod into the West Wing.
9
00:00:20,129 --> 00:00:22,031
Quite a deal
the American people got.
10
00:00:22,097 --> 00:00:23,866
Two for the price of one.
11
00:00:23,933 --> 00:00:27,469
- Let me introduce Richard McDonald.
- Will you run for re-election?
12
00:00:27,536 --> 00:00:29,104
It won't be easy if she runs.
13
00:00:29,171 --> 00:00:32,741
It's not just the election. This could
be the next ten years of our lives.
14
00:00:32,808 --> 00:00:35,878
- [Templeton] What do you think?
- She's digging her own grave.
15
00:00:35,945 --> 00:00:38,814
Tomorrow's papers will be full
of attacking editorials.
16
00:00:38,881 --> 00:00:42,284
You want to be president because
you want to control the universe.
17
00:00:42,351 --> 00:00:44,920
- That's not me.
- Well, that's the problem!
18
00:00:48,123 --> 00:00:50,459
The Constitution makes us
19
00:00:50,526 --> 00:00:52,761
not rivals for power,
20
00:00:52,828 --> 00:00:55,197
but partners for progress.
21
00:00:55,264 --> 00:00:58,634
We are all trustees
for the American people.
22
00:00:58,701 --> 00:01:01,337
Custodians of
the American heritage.
23
00:01:01,403 --> 00:01:05,941
It is my task to report
the state of the union.
24
00:01:06,008 --> 00:01:09,278
To improve it
is the task of us all.
25
00:01:09,345 --> 00:01:11,213
[applause]
26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,416
[Lyndon Johnson]
A president's hardest task
27
00:01:14,483 --> 00:01:17,253
is not to do what is right,
28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,023
but to know what is right.
29
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:23,125
[Richard Nixon] I see a new America.
30
00:01:23,192 --> 00:01:27,196
I see an America in which we
have abolished hunger.
31
00:01:27,263 --> 00:01:29,832
I see an America in which
we've made great strides
32
00:01:29,898 --> 00:01:32,101
in stopping the pollution of our air,
33
00:01:32,167 --> 00:01:35,437
cleaning up our water,
and most important,
34
00:01:35,504 --> 00:01:40,309
I see an America at peace
with all the nations of the world.
35
00:01:40,442 --> 00:01:43,746
[Gerald Ford] Only from a position
of strength can we negotiate
36
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:48,284
a balanced agreement to limit
the growth of nuclear arms.
37
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:52,221
Only a balanced agreement
will serve our interests
38
00:01:52,288 --> 00:01:54,456
and minimize the threat
39
00:01:54,523 --> 00:01:57,126
of nuclear confrontation.
40
00:01:57,192 --> 00:01:59,395
[Jimmy Carter] Our problems
are too complex
41
00:01:59,461 --> 00:02:03,132
for simple slogans
or for quick solutions.
42
00:02:03,198 --> 00:02:08,170
We cannot solve them
without effort and sacrifice.
43
00:02:08,237 --> 00:02:10,906
[Ronald Reagan] Let us
so conduct ourselves
44
00:02:10,973 --> 00:02:13,142
that two centuries from now,
45
00:02:13,208 --> 00:02:16,145
another Congress
and another president
46
00:02:16,211 --> 00:02:18,580
meeting in this chamber
as we're meeting,
47
00:02:18,647 --> 00:02:22,351
will speak of us with pride,
48
00:02:22,418 --> 00:02:25,087
saying that we met the test
49
00:02:25,154 --> 00:02:28,457
and preserved for them,
in their day,
50
00:02:28,524 --> 00:02:30,359
the sacred flame of liberty.
51
00:02:30,426 --> 00:02:34,029
This last best hope
of man on Earth.
52
00:02:34,096 --> 00:02:35,864
God bless you and thank you.
53
00:02:35,931 --> 00:02:38,067
[applause]
54
00:02:41,837 --> 00:02:44,239
[people chattering]
55
00:02:44,306 --> 00:02:47,209
- Mr. Calloway.
- Hello.
56
00:02:47,276 --> 00:02:49,144
[woman] Will the president join you?
57
00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:54,717
I must say, I do respect
the president on this one.
58
00:02:54,783 --> 00:02:57,820
- It's not a done deal.
- We've done our own head count.
59
00:02:57,886 --> 00:03:01,090
The president's homeless initiative
will be law by week's end.
60
00:03:01,156 --> 00:03:04,593
The president spending
political capital on the homeless,
61
00:03:04,660 --> 00:03:07,830
over at headquarters,
we have a word for people like that.
62
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,632
Democrats.
Got the chairman right here.
63
00:03:10,699 --> 00:03:13,769
Raise your right hand and swear,
she's got our nomination.
64
00:03:13,836 --> 00:03:15,971
She's comfortable as an Independent.
65
00:03:16,038 --> 00:03:19,408
When's the last time an Independent
got elected outside of Vermont?
66
00:03:19,475 --> 00:03:22,244
Rod, meet the future
of the Democratic party,
67
00:03:22,311 --> 00:03:24,513
- Courtney Winters.
- It's a pleasure.
68
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:26,715
By that, he means
the girl who makes copies
69
00:03:26,782 --> 00:03:30,252
of The Note and The Hotline
for the senior staff.
70
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:34,356
Courtney, could you grab me a glass?
And one for our closet Democrat here.
71
00:03:36,525 --> 00:03:38,660
- Thank you.
- Cheers.
72
00:03:38,727 --> 00:03:39,962
Cheers.
73
00:03:40,028 --> 00:03:43,832
Two hundred and forty-eight, gentleman.
According to an in-house count,
74
00:03:43,899 --> 00:03:48,170
that's the number
of electoral votes I have today.
75
00:03:48,237 --> 00:03:51,106
We need 271 to get the White House.
76
00:03:51,173 --> 00:03:52,808
So do the Democrats.
77
00:03:52,875 --> 00:03:55,778
So does our incumbent president.
78
00:03:55,844 --> 00:03:59,882
- I don't follow.
- Well, in a three-way race,
79
00:03:59,948 --> 00:04:02,017
where do you
think it all ends up?
80
00:04:03,085 --> 00:04:05,454
The House of Representatives.
81
00:04:05,521 --> 00:04:09,792
Where I do believe
I will get a favorable ruling.
82
00:04:10,793 --> 00:04:13,128
I'd rather lead
with my homeless initiative,
83
00:04:13,195 --> 00:04:15,197
set the tone
with a bipartisan victory.
84
00:04:15,264 --> 00:04:18,834
- Might be counting your chickens.
- Latest count looks good for passage.
85
00:04:18,901 --> 00:04:22,871
- Both sides want points for the issue.
- More reason to shine a light on it.
86
00:04:22,938 --> 00:04:27,342
Neither party can afford to dismiss the
problem, and the public wants it fixed.
87
00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:29,812
Does the initiative
match the address' theme?
88
00:04:29,878 --> 00:04:32,414
The courage to act if the
easy choice is voting yes.
89
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:37,319
They'll need courage to get behind my
proposal to curb nuclear proliferation.
90
00:04:37,386 --> 00:04:39,388
Oh, speaking of which,
I found a quote.
91
00:04:39,455 --> 00:04:42,691
The director of
the IAEA once said,
92
00:04:42,758 --> 00:04:46,028
"There are some who continue
to dangle a cigarette from their mouth
93
00:04:46,094 --> 00:04:48,530
and tell everybody else
not to smoke."
94
00:04:48,597 --> 00:04:52,134
- It's perfect. Put it in.
- You're already at 6,000 words.
95
00:04:52,201 --> 00:04:55,070
Well, that reminds me.
I want to move up the section on
96
00:04:55,137 --> 00:04:57,072
raising the minimum wage.
97
00:04:57,139 --> 00:05:00,442
If I'm calling on Congress to
immediately increase it a dollar,
98
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:02,611
I want to do it
while they're still awake.
99
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,483
Thank you. Thanks.
100
00:05:07,549 --> 00:05:10,352
- Hey, Rod.
- Dickie, hey, my man.
101
00:05:10,419 --> 00:05:12,588
- Uh... You have a good night?
- Yeah. Fine.
102
00:05:12,654 --> 00:05:15,324
- Great. Great.
- Need some help?
103
00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:18,594
- No. No, I'm, uh... I'm good.
- OK.
104
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,762
All right.
105
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,036
Hey. You're not leaving, are you?
106
00:05:28,103 --> 00:05:30,706
- Yeah. I'm parked down the block.
- Oh.
107
00:05:30,772 --> 00:05:33,408
- I don't suppose you valeted.
- Mmm. No. Sorry.
108
00:05:33,475 --> 00:05:35,344
This is my ride right here.
109
00:05:36,211 --> 00:05:37,679
- It's freezing.
- Yep.
110
00:05:37,746 --> 00:05:40,682
- Almost taste the Potomac, you know?
- Yeah.
111
00:05:41,283 --> 00:05:42,951
- Oh! Uh...
- [grunts]
112
00:05:48,557 --> 00:05:51,326
[groans] Man, I've got
such a headache.
113
00:05:51,393 --> 00:05:53,428
I'm not surprised.
114
00:05:54,096 --> 00:05:56,265
What's going on?
115
00:05:59,101 --> 00:06:01,537
What the hell is this?
116
00:06:02,204 --> 00:06:05,107
Slow news day, apparently.
117
00:06:07,109 --> 00:06:09,912
Oh, come on. This is nuts.
You know that.
118
00:06:09,978 --> 00:06:13,749
If it were the tabloids, maybe we
could assume it was Photoshopped.
119
00:06:13,815 --> 00:06:16,752
This is unbelievable.
120
00:06:16,818 --> 00:06:20,822
Unbelievable. I lose my balance, and
they do this? They gotta be desperate!
121
00:06:20,889 --> 00:06:24,026
Are we talking about the same
"they" who got you drunk last night?
122
00:06:24,092 --> 00:06:27,696
[sighs] I wasn't drunk.
I had one glass of champagne.
123
00:06:27,763 --> 00:06:29,598
- I barely drink.
- 'Morning.
124
00:06:29,665 --> 00:06:32,868
'Cause I'd imagine an expression
like that'd be hard to fake.
125
00:06:32,935 --> 00:06:35,704
[Rod] I was tired. I don't know.
126
00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:38,373
I skipped dinner.
Maybe it went to my head a bit.
127
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,343
- Look, it wasn't that big of a deal.
- It's a big deal now.
128
00:06:45,247 --> 00:06:48,984
Honey. It was
an opportunistic distortion.
129
00:06:49,051 --> 00:06:52,588
I... I stood up. She turned
around, and I found myself...
130
00:06:52,654 --> 00:06:55,724
- Touching her breasts. I can see that.
- You're kidding me.
131
00:06:55,791 --> 00:06:57,426
- Oh, my God.
- About what?
132
00:06:57,492 --> 00:07:00,796
- What? You honestly think I'm...
- This is absolutely ridiculous.
133
00:07:00,862 --> 00:07:03,298
All a reporter has to say is "intern."
134
00:07:03,365 --> 00:07:06,201
- Rod would never do that!
- [Rod] I lost my footing!
135
00:07:06,268 --> 00:07:08,337
- Mom, do you mind?
- [Rod] This is some...
136
00:07:08,403 --> 00:07:11,907
That you were willing to drink
in public makes you vulnerable.
137
00:07:11,974 --> 00:07:13,542
You guys seriously fighting?
138
00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:20,215
Wait, is this for real?
139
00:07:20,282 --> 00:07:23,385
It's not. I tripped,
140
00:07:23,452 --> 00:07:25,687
and someone snapped a photo.
141
00:07:25,754 --> 00:07:29,057
Uh... let's eat breakfast
in the family room.
142
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,562
Here, baby. Take that.
143
00:07:36,965 --> 00:07:39,001
This is not my fault.
144
00:07:58,020 --> 00:08:00,055
[horn honking]
145
00:08:02,624 --> 00:08:04,593
"Intern redux."
146
00:08:04,660 --> 00:08:07,262
That's almost literary.
147
00:08:07,763 --> 00:08:10,532
Somebody's read Updike.
148
00:08:10,599 --> 00:08:13,735
Is the first gentleman a gentleman?
That comes in many versions.
149
00:08:13,802 --> 00:08:16,605
Would've been more fun if
they caught him in the back seat
150
00:08:16,672 --> 00:08:19,708
of the presidential limo
with a hooker, but hey,
151
00:08:19,775 --> 00:08:22,744
he's managed
to humiliate the president,
152
00:08:22,811 --> 00:08:25,013
and that's all that counts. Right?
153
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,417
And pushed her homeless bill
right off the front page.
154
00:08:28,483 --> 00:08:31,253
- Head count holding steady?
- It'll pass both houses.
155
00:08:32,254 --> 00:08:35,791
The photo was taken from an angle
that appeared as if Mr. Calloway's hand
156
00:08:35,857 --> 00:08:39,127
- touched her inappropriately.
- You saying he didn't touch her?
157
00:08:39,194 --> 00:08:43,598
He had no intention of touching her.
He tripped and caught his balance.
158
00:08:43,665 --> 00:08:45,434
- [all] Kelly!
- Uh, yeah, Jim.
159
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:48,270
Kelly, how much had he had
to drink when he tripped?
160
00:08:48,336 --> 00:08:50,338
He had one glass of champagne, Jim.
161
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:53,208
He had not eaten dinner.
He was not intoxicated.
162
00:08:53,275 --> 00:08:55,777
- [all] Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!
- Yes.
163
00:08:55,844 --> 00:08:59,014
Are you aware The Post is carrying
an interview with Miss Winters
164
00:08:59,081 --> 00:09:03,018
in which she says, quote, "Mr. Calloway
was drunk as a skunk," unquote.
165
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:04,619
I've answered that question.
166
00:09:04,686 --> 00:09:07,556
And caused her mental distress
by fondling her.
167
00:09:07,622 --> 00:09:08,623
[reports chatter]
168
00:09:09,758 --> 00:09:13,462
It's one way to sell newspapers.
I'll be sure to read it, I love fiction.
169
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:18,400
A rider just got annexed to the homeless
bill. An appropriations amendment.
170
00:09:18,467 --> 00:09:21,403
- Appropriations for what?
- Prison construction.
171
00:09:21,470 --> 00:09:23,238
To pump up the war on drugs.
172
00:09:23,305 --> 00:09:26,775
My bill is about
families, housing, jobs.
173
00:09:26,842 --> 00:09:29,578
It has nothing to do with prisons.
Who's the sponsor?
174
00:09:29,644 --> 00:09:32,714
Frank Devane, a two-term
Republican from Upper Michigan.
175
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:34,750
A lot of clout for a two-termer.
176
00:09:34,816 --> 00:09:37,486
The speaker never misses
an opportunity to hurt you.
177
00:09:37,552 --> 00:09:39,988
Betting I won't veto my own bill.
178
00:09:40,055 --> 00:09:43,125
I refuse to let it be subverted
by a 35-year-old policy
179
00:09:43,191 --> 00:09:45,494
that's a total failure.
180
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:49,197
We've built more prisons than schools.
It hasn't made a dent in drug use.
181
00:09:49,264 --> 00:09:53,502
Find out what we can do for Mr. Devane
to get him to withdraw the amendment.
182
00:09:53,568 --> 00:09:55,570
I'll go and talk to him.
183
00:09:55,637 --> 00:09:58,473
I can't spare you.
Your priority is the State of the Union.
184
00:09:58,540 --> 00:10:01,777
- Rod can do it.
- Under the circumstances...
185
00:10:01,843 --> 00:10:04,479
There are no circumstances.
There's a photo.
186
00:10:04,546 --> 00:10:07,949
He tripped and caught his balance.
But if he lays low today,
187
00:10:08,016 --> 00:10:10,719
he's gonna prove
he's as guilty as he looks.
188
00:10:11,753 --> 00:10:13,522
- How was the briefing?
- [sighs]
189
00:10:13,588 --> 00:10:18,426
I could take this binder, smash it
over your head if you want a sense.
190
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:21,763
- It's a... a one-day story.
- It is a hell of a day to pick.
191
00:10:21,830 --> 00:10:25,066
We're days before the president
lays out her agenda for the year,
192
00:10:25,133 --> 00:10:28,837
all anyone cares about is how much
the first gentleman had to drink.
193
00:10:28,904 --> 00:10:31,540
- It was one glass of champagne.
- Mr. Calloway.
194
00:10:31,606 --> 00:10:33,275
- I wasn't drunk.
- I'm sorry.
195
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:35,811
Listen. I don't know what happened.
196
00:10:35,877 --> 00:10:37,979
I think I should
put out a statement.
197
00:10:38,046 --> 00:10:39,681
- Denying you were drunk?
- Mm-hm.
198
00:10:39,748 --> 00:10:43,084
Not a position of strength.
We've got more important business.
199
00:10:43,151 --> 00:10:45,821
The president needs you
on her homeless initiative.
200
00:10:45,887 --> 00:10:48,190
- The Devane rider?
- Yeah.
201
00:10:48,256 --> 00:10:50,392
We need to get that removed.
202
00:10:50,458 --> 00:10:52,627
It's all hands on deck.
203
00:10:53,495 --> 00:10:56,198
[Rod] Congressman,
let's be straight with each other.
204
00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:59,034
You waited until the president
had the pen in her hand
205
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:01,603
to sign her homeless bill
before you loaded up on it.
206
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:04,239
Gives the impression
you're looking for attention.
207
00:11:04,306 --> 00:11:07,209
I put some teeth in that bill,
Mr. Calloway.
208
00:11:07,275 --> 00:11:10,178
We have a homeless problem
because of the drug problem
209
00:11:10,245 --> 00:11:12,013
that made so many of them homeless.
210
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,050
- Forty percent are children.
- With drug-using parents.
211
00:11:15,116 --> 00:11:17,953
- Not to stereotype.
- Tends to be accurate.
212
00:11:18,019 --> 00:11:21,323
This bill provides for the most
comprehensive drug treatment...
213
00:11:21,389 --> 00:11:24,492
Like rehab works? Come on.
I want roofs over these people too.
214
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,529
But prisons get more people
off drugs than shelters.
215
00:11:27,596 --> 00:11:30,599
- It's the stick and the carrot.
- The president disagrees.
216
00:11:30,665 --> 00:11:33,935
And she is asking you to withdraw
the amendment, congressman.
217
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:39,908
My constituents need to know
218
00:11:39,975 --> 00:11:43,078
I'm working hard on issues
that matter to them.
219
00:11:45,247 --> 00:11:46,915
Your numbers could use a bounce?
220
00:11:46,982 --> 00:11:48,717
Always true.
221
00:11:49,851 --> 00:11:52,621
The president wants to know
what she can do to help you.
222
00:11:55,490 --> 00:11:58,159
How many people can this shelter
hold on any given day?
223
00:11:58,226 --> 00:11:59,761
As many as come in that door.
224
00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:02,330
I've had people sleep
on the couch in my office.
225
00:12:02,397 --> 00:12:04,900
- 'Morning.
- Good morning, everyone.
226
00:12:04,966 --> 00:12:06,101
[all] Good morning.
227
00:12:06,167 --> 00:12:08,837
Madam President,
this is Lucinda Walker.
228
00:12:08,904 --> 00:12:12,173
- Nice to meet you.
- It's an honor, ma'am.
229
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,808
Thank you.
230
00:12:13,875 --> 00:12:16,111
[sobs] I'm sorry.
231
00:12:16,177 --> 00:12:18,313
Oh, dear. That's OK.
232
00:12:18,380 --> 00:12:20,181
- [Lucinda] Sorry.
- [Mac] Thank you.
233
00:12:20,248 --> 00:12:22,817
This is
our financial assistance workshop.
234
00:12:22,884 --> 00:12:26,388
It's the last stop before guests
like Lucinda head back into the world.
235
00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:29,524
We help them
with bank accounts, health care.
236
00:12:29,591 --> 00:12:31,960
Well, I know you're gonna do just fine.
237
00:12:32,027 --> 00:12:34,629
Nice to meet you all.
Good luck.
238
00:12:34,696 --> 00:12:36,031
- Thank you.
- [laughs]
239
00:12:36,097 --> 00:12:38,199
[applause]
240
00:12:47,575 --> 00:12:50,245
We have been here
for 14 years now,
241
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:54,482
but this has to stand out as
a red-letter day for D.C. Outreach.
242
00:12:54,549 --> 00:12:59,354
We are so grateful to you,
Madam President, for your support.
243
00:12:59,421 --> 00:13:01,656
- Ms. Clarke.
- [applause]
244
00:13:02,891 --> 00:13:07,028
But... don't thank me yet. Congress
still has to pass my initiative first.
245
00:13:07,095 --> 00:13:09,030
- [crowd chuckles]
- Madam President,
246
00:13:09,097 --> 00:13:12,634
with this morning's allegations,
is your husband a distraction
247
00:13:12,701 --> 00:13:14,602
for your administration?
248
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:16,671
I'm not gonna let anything distract me
249
00:13:16,738 --> 00:13:19,407
from keeping the homeless
off the streets.
250
00:13:19,474 --> 00:13:22,377
My initiative reflects,
on a national scale,
251
00:13:22,444 --> 00:13:25,413
the step-by-step approach
so effectively demonstrated...
252
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,249
Madam President, do your children
know about the photo?
253
00:13:28,316 --> 00:13:31,753
- Does he have a drinking problem?
- Will he sleep on the couch tonight?
254
00:13:36,658 --> 00:13:38,026
He may choose to.
255
00:13:38,093 --> 00:13:41,363
Because there hasn't been
a new mattress in there since Nixon.
256
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:43,631
- [crowd laughs]
- Thank you.
257
00:13:53,241 --> 00:13:55,043
[knocking]
258
00:13:57,278 --> 00:13:58,980
Just got a call.
259
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:01,449
The first gentleman
came up the Hill today.
260
00:14:01,516 --> 00:14:04,119
- To fetch a pail of water?
- [laughs]
261
00:14:04,185 --> 00:14:06,121
He paid Congressman Devane a visit.
262
00:14:06,187 --> 00:14:08,256
Of course he did.
263
00:14:08,323 --> 00:14:12,961
- Bloodied but unbowed.
- What do you suppose he offered him?
264
00:14:13,028 --> 00:14:17,732
Oh, I'd guess he blew some serious
presidential smoke up Devane's chimney.
265
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:21,469
Promised him legislative support
down the road.
266
00:14:21,536 --> 00:14:23,638
A photo op with the president.
267
00:14:23,705 --> 00:14:24,773
[chuckles]
268
00:14:24,839 --> 00:14:27,409
Better stand on a box.
269
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:30,879
President's six inches
taller than he is.
270
00:14:32,313 --> 00:14:36,584
Leading by example
requires the courage to act.
271
00:14:36,651 --> 00:14:39,654
After extensive talks
with the Joint Chiefs,
272
00:14:39,721 --> 00:14:42,791
the secretary of state
and my national security advisor,
273
00:14:42,857 --> 00:14:46,728
I have crafted a plan
to unilaterally destroy
274
00:14:46,795 --> 00:14:50,665
a significant portion of America's
nuclear warheads and materials.
275
00:14:50,732 --> 00:14:52,734
[Kate] Excuse me?
276
00:14:52,801 --> 00:14:56,171
I would like to exert
my maternal authority
277
00:14:56,237 --> 00:14:58,139
to remind you to eat.
278
00:14:58,206 --> 00:15:00,341
You are a sight for sore eyes.
279
00:15:00,408 --> 00:15:03,478
- Put your glasses back on.
- Thanks.
280
00:15:05,814 --> 00:15:07,916
[sighs]
281
00:15:07,982 --> 00:15:09,951
You've had a tough day, I know.
282
00:15:11,019 --> 00:15:13,588
- How you two doing?
- I don't know.
283
00:15:15,256 --> 00:15:18,259
You know what I remember most
about you and Dad?
284
00:15:18,326 --> 00:15:22,964
The kisses. He was always
coming in for the hug,
285
00:15:23,031 --> 00:15:25,100
always holding your hand.
286
00:15:25,166 --> 00:15:28,570
For the longest time,
I thought it was so silly.
287
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:31,673
How did you do it?
How'd you manage it?
288
00:15:31,739 --> 00:15:34,843
Staying in love?
289
00:15:34,909 --> 00:15:37,278
[sighs] Easy.
290
00:15:38,179 --> 00:15:40,148
Mutual respect.
291
00:15:40,215 --> 00:15:42,183
Compromise.
292
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:43,885
That and you remember that
293
00:15:43,952 --> 00:15:46,588
he spent half of every year
294
00:15:46,654 --> 00:15:49,290
on a ship in the Pacific.
295
00:15:50,191 --> 00:15:52,727
- Hmm.
- Eat.
296
00:15:54,162 --> 00:15:56,431
This too shall pass.
297
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:58,933
[woman] Mr. Speaker?
Congressman Devane.
298
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,936
I thought we had ourselves
an understanding.
299
00:16:02,003 --> 00:16:04,139
We did. I, um...
300
00:16:04,205 --> 00:16:07,175
- I didn't...
- You know, I've built a long career,
301
00:16:07,242 --> 00:16:10,979
some even say a...
a distinguished career,
302
00:16:11,045 --> 00:16:12,914
on one philosophy.
303
00:16:12,981 --> 00:16:16,818
You're either with me or... [laughs]
304
00:16:16,885 --> 00:16:19,354
...you're somewhere else.
305
00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:21,856
Are you somewhere else,
congressman?
306
00:16:21,923 --> 00:16:25,326
- I stand with the party.
- And the party supported your rider.
307
00:16:25,393 --> 00:16:28,863
Which was mutually beneficial.
I mean, the original goal...
308
00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:30,365
Is still the goal.
309
00:16:31,966 --> 00:16:34,836
Yes, but unfortunately,
I... I gave my word.
310
00:16:34,903 --> 00:16:37,038
To the town drunk, Frank.
311
00:16:37,105 --> 00:16:40,175
To the town drunk.
312
00:16:40,241 --> 00:16:43,845
Will you let an old man
give you a piece of advice?
313
00:16:44,646 --> 00:16:47,549
Never give up
a plum committee assignment
314
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:51,286
for a photo op
and a pair of presidential cuff links.
315
00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:56,191
No. I... I'll call and cancel
my meeting with the president.
316
00:16:56,257 --> 00:17:00,228
No, no, no. She's a terrific woman.
317
00:17:00,295 --> 00:17:03,031
She admires directness.
318
00:17:03,097 --> 00:17:05,200
I know how much
she would appreciate
319
00:17:05,266 --> 00:17:08,703
the courtesy of you
telling her yourself.
320
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:23,251
Homework?
321
00:17:23,318 --> 00:17:27,422
Working on the travel schedule
for after the State of the Union.
322
00:17:27,488 --> 00:17:29,123
Hmm.
323
00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:30,558
It's ironic.
324
00:17:30,625 --> 00:17:34,762
You make a speech with all
the pomp that the Capitol can offer,
325
00:17:34,829 --> 00:17:39,367
then you have to go out and
peddle the programs like Willy Loman.
326
00:17:41,336 --> 00:17:43,871
- You get the word about Devane?
- I did.
327
00:17:43,938 --> 00:17:47,475
It's good news. What did you
have to give him to drop the rider?
328
00:17:47,542 --> 00:17:50,345
Oh, just a photo op
with you in the Oval.
329
00:17:50,411 --> 00:17:53,114
Plus, you stop by his district
for a cup of coffee.
330
00:17:54,415 --> 00:17:57,819
Well, it's a big weight off.
Thank you.
331
00:18:00,989 --> 00:18:04,125
So any... any changes
in the scheduling?
332
00:18:04,192 --> 00:18:06,561
I'm adding a West Coast leg.
333
00:18:06,628 --> 00:18:10,198
L.A., San Francisco, maybe Seattle.
334
00:18:10,265 --> 00:18:13,635
So, what does that make it?
Like four days?
335
00:18:13,701 --> 00:18:16,671
That's a while to be
out of town, isn't it?
336
00:18:19,007 --> 00:18:22,710
Whatever it takes to get you
and Ms. Winters off the front page.
337
00:18:24,779 --> 00:18:27,382
Sure.
338
00:18:27,448 --> 00:18:30,285
Yeah. You're right.
339
00:18:30,351 --> 00:18:33,488
- It's a smart move.
- I don't want to fight anymore.
340
00:18:34,489 --> 00:18:36,324
Neither do I.
341
00:18:48,736 --> 00:18:51,739
Madam President.
How's the new draft?
342
00:18:51,806 --> 00:18:53,775
The staff's done
a great job with it.
343
00:18:53,841 --> 00:18:56,144
We're getting there.
We're getting closer.
344
00:18:56,210 --> 00:18:57,779
But...?
345
00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:01,883
For one thing, I'm...
I'm getting hung up on...
346
00:19:01,949 --> 00:19:03,718
I am the first female president,
347
00:19:03,785 --> 00:19:07,221
so do I talk about that, or do I
ignore it because it shouldn't matter?
348
00:19:07,288 --> 00:19:08,790
That's entirely up to you.
349
00:19:08,856 --> 00:19:12,093
- Anyway, the speech isn't there yet.
- [knocking]
350
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,696
Hope we're not interrupting.
351
00:19:14,762 --> 00:19:17,398
Mac, Congressman Devane.
352
00:19:17,465 --> 00:19:19,667
Congressman, the president.
353
00:19:19,734 --> 00:19:21,836
- An honor to meet you, ma'am.
- Pleasure.
354
00:19:23,271 --> 00:19:25,073
- Mr. Gardner.
- How you doing, Frank?
355
00:19:25,139 --> 00:19:27,241
- Fine, fine.
- Please.
356
00:19:27,308 --> 00:19:29,010
Uh... yeah.
357
00:19:34,248 --> 00:19:36,951
So you're here to talk
about the initiative.
358
00:19:37,018 --> 00:19:40,688
And to invite you to visit
Upper Michigan's 14th District,
359
00:19:40,755 --> 00:19:43,691
in return for which,
Frank agreed to table the amendment.
360
00:19:43,758 --> 00:19:47,595
Wonderful. I can't tell you how
grateful I am to have this bill pass
361
00:19:47,662 --> 00:19:49,964
- in its original form.
- Actually,
362
00:19:50,031 --> 00:19:52,734
I haven't had the opportunity
to mention this,
363
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,537
but I've been doing
some soul-searching and...
364
00:19:56,604 --> 00:19:59,107
- And what, Frank?
- [sighs]
365
00:19:59,173 --> 00:20:02,276
I've decided I can't, in good
conscience, reverse course.
366
00:20:02,343 --> 00:20:04,212
- Excuse me?
- I'm sorry. I...
367
00:20:04,278 --> 00:20:07,582
- I don't want to waste your time.
- You already have, congressman.
368
00:20:07,648 --> 00:20:10,118
Do I need to remind you
a president's endorsement
369
00:20:10,184 --> 00:20:13,654
of any future bill will almost
always guarantee its passage.
370
00:20:13,721 --> 00:20:16,257
Any other president
because he has party loyalty.
371
00:20:16,324 --> 00:20:17,759
But you don't have a party.
372
00:20:17,825 --> 00:20:20,228
- Who do you think you're talking to?
- I should go.
373
00:20:20,294 --> 00:20:23,464
- Congressman, we had an agreement.
- I'm sorry. [clears throat]
374
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:27,935
What the hell was that?
375
00:20:28,803 --> 00:20:32,774
[man] So Devane pulls the amendment, the
administration avoids its first veto.
376
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,310
Or less cynically,
ushers a signature bill to passage.
377
00:20:36,377 --> 00:20:38,012
- [all] Kelly! Kelly!
- Steve.
378
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:40,415
Devane's always banging
the war on drugs drum.
379
00:20:40,481 --> 00:20:42,617
How did she get
him to change his mind?
380
00:20:42,683 --> 00:20:45,153
She convinced him
that this so-called war
381
00:20:45,219 --> 00:20:47,655
needs to be fought
by other means and other bills.
382
00:20:47,722 --> 00:20:50,691
But let's let the
congressman tell you himself.
383
00:20:50,758 --> 00:20:52,894
- Good morning.
- [all] Good morning.
384
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:57,198
I've just come from a meeting in
the Oval Office to discuss HR1468,
385
00:20:57,265 --> 00:21:00,101
known as
the president's homeless initiative.
386
00:21:00,168 --> 00:21:02,637
In that meeting,
the president asked that I
387
00:21:02,703 --> 00:21:05,206
reconsider the amendment
now attached to the bill,
388
00:21:05,273 --> 00:21:08,676
one that speaks to the correlation
between substance abuse,
389
00:21:08,743 --> 00:21:12,547
the lack of prison space
and homelessness.
390
00:21:12,613 --> 00:21:15,316
And while compelling
arguments had been made,
391
00:21:15,383 --> 00:21:18,052
I informed the president
that I would not
392
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,789
alter, re-tool
or withdraw said amendment.
393
00:21:21,856 --> 00:21:23,324
- Congressman!
- Yes.
394
00:21:23,391 --> 00:21:26,360
How did the president respond
to your refusal to back down?
395
00:21:26,427 --> 00:21:29,864
- I imagine she was quite disappointed.
- [man] Sir!
396
00:21:29,931 --> 00:21:33,534
- Son of a bitch gave me his word.
- Which obviously wasn't worth much.
397
00:21:33,601 --> 00:21:37,004
Devane's wanted in on the
Appropriations Committee for four years.
398
00:21:37,071 --> 00:21:38,906
I guess the speaker found him a spot.
399
00:21:38,973 --> 00:21:42,510
I had him. He was on board. Templeton
must've come in at the 11th hour.
400
00:21:42,577 --> 00:21:44,378
Then why go through the motions?
401
00:21:44,445 --> 00:21:46,080
Why did Devane come to the Oval?
402
00:21:46,147 --> 00:21:48,416
So he could tell
the press corps himself.
403
00:21:48,483 --> 00:21:50,551
- Did he...?
- Yeah.
404
00:21:52,787 --> 00:21:55,790
In other words, the congressman
wasn't here to make a deal.
405
00:21:55,857 --> 00:21:58,125
He was here to make a scene.
406
00:21:58,192 --> 00:21:59,827
Somebody explain to me
407
00:21:59,894 --> 00:22:02,497
how we get the North Koreans
to stick to an agreement,
408
00:22:02,563 --> 00:22:06,234
but a two-term congressman can't
honor his word for more than 24 hours.
409
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:08,636
Because we have no recourse, Mac.
410
00:22:08,703 --> 00:22:11,239
We have no allies. No infrastructure.
411
00:22:11,305 --> 00:22:15,376
I mean, we can't do anything
to keep him or anyone else in line.
412
00:22:17,678 --> 00:22:19,747
- Guys, we need a minute.
- Of course.
413
00:22:27,822 --> 00:22:30,525
- You can't talk to me like that.
- I can't tell the truth?
414
00:22:30,591 --> 00:22:32,426
It makes the staff uncomfortable.
415
00:22:32,493 --> 00:22:35,029
I didn't say anything
any of them wasn't thinking.
416
00:22:35,096 --> 00:22:37,265
It's not what you said,
it's how you said it.
417
00:22:37,331 --> 00:22:39,433
Oh, so now how I speak,
that's a problem.
418
00:22:39,500 --> 00:22:42,770
Listen, I am your husband,
and if I can't speak to you...
419
00:22:42,837 --> 00:22:45,540
That's the problem.
It's always been the problem.
420
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:51,612
I have supported you.
I have worked for you.
421
00:22:51,679 --> 00:22:55,449
I backed you up your entire career.
I thought I brought something to the...
422
00:22:55,516 --> 00:22:59,954
This cannot continue to be seen
as an extension of our marriage.
423
00:23:01,923 --> 00:23:04,592
The lines are getting blurred, Rod.
424
00:23:19,407 --> 00:23:23,477
[Rebecca] I mean, have you
heard them fighting about it?
425
00:23:23,544 --> 00:23:25,746
No, it's just...
426
00:23:25,813 --> 00:23:29,016
...it feels weird around here,
with this intern thing going on.
427
00:23:29,083 --> 00:23:33,854
Yeah, well, maybe it wouldn't if Mom
would just cut Dad some slack.
428
00:23:33,921 --> 00:23:37,458
I mean, it's not like it hasn't been
totally blown out of proportion.
429
00:23:38,492 --> 00:23:40,261
Pretty big deal if you ask me.
430
00:23:41,329 --> 00:23:43,664
Yeah, well, he tripped, Horace.
431
00:23:43,731 --> 00:23:45,266
He had to have done something
432
00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:48,469
to end up so close to that
woman in the first place.
433
00:23:48,536 --> 00:23:52,106
- It was an accident.
- Yeah. I guess.
434
00:23:54,642 --> 00:23:58,212
- You think they're in trouble?
- Maybe.
435
00:23:59,347 --> 00:24:02,083
Yeah. Me too.
436
00:24:06,554 --> 00:24:09,123
[laughing, chattering]
437
00:24:10,958 --> 00:24:12,660
Jayne.
438
00:24:13,694 --> 00:24:16,397
I figured you'd head back
to the White House, so I
439
00:24:16,464 --> 00:24:19,433
ordered you a club soda
with, yes, two wedges of lime.
440
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,370
Good memory. What's up?
441
00:24:22,436 --> 00:24:25,306
Speaker would like to know
if he's getting an advance copy
442
00:24:25,373 --> 00:24:28,576
- of the State of the Union.
- Uh, sorry, no.
443
00:24:28,643 --> 00:24:31,412
It's embargoed till she gives it.
444
00:24:31,479 --> 00:24:33,581
- We've gotten one before.
- Under Bridges.
445
00:24:33,648 --> 00:24:36,884
Same chief of staff.
446
00:24:36,951 --> 00:24:39,487
- Come on, Jim.
- We're up to, what, draft nine?
447
00:24:39,553 --> 00:24:41,856
I'm hoping we have
it ready for the president,
448
00:24:41,922 --> 00:24:43,924
let alone giving out
copies beforehand.
449
00:24:43,991 --> 00:24:47,528
Mm... all right.
450
00:24:47,595 --> 00:24:50,197
Well, still, it's gonna be a cold room.
451
00:24:50,264 --> 00:24:54,035
Lot of sitting on hands.
Lot of poker faces.
452
00:24:54,101 --> 00:24:56,604
I'll keep that in mind.
453
00:24:59,674 --> 00:25:01,809
[scoffs]
454
00:25:01,876 --> 00:25:04,278
So are you seeing anybody?
455
00:25:07,348 --> 00:25:09,116
I really have to get back.
456
00:25:10,618 --> 00:25:11,719
Thanks for the soda.
457
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:16,223
Hey. How you doing?
Can I get a vodka tonic?
458
00:25:17,024 --> 00:25:19,293
- Um... Mr. Gardner?
- Yes?
459
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,296
My name is Sherri Dalton.
I've been interning at the DNC,
460
00:25:22,363 --> 00:25:24,565
but I would like to move
to the White House.
461
00:25:24,632 --> 00:25:28,002
Contact our personnel office.
They'll tell you everything you need.
462
00:25:28,069 --> 00:25:30,204
Actually, sir, I've already done that.
463
00:25:30,271 --> 00:25:32,606
I thought if I could get
your recommendation...
464
00:25:32,673 --> 00:25:36,410
You should know there's a fine line
between assertive and inappropriate.
465
00:25:36,477 --> 00:25:39,947
I wouldn't have said anything
if I didn't have something to trade.
466
00:25:40,014 --> 00:25:42,149
I have information.
467
00:25:42,216 --> 00:25:44,485
- I'm sure you do.
- No, really.
468
00:25:44,552 --> 00:25:47,088
This whole thing
with the first gentleman,
469
00:25:47,154 --> 00:25:49,657
- I know who did it.
- Did what?
470
00:25:49,724 --> 00:25:52,059
Spiked his drink.
471
00:25:58,666 --> 00:26:00,935
Speaker's here, ma'am.
472
00:26:04,071 --> 00:26:08,309
It's good to see you.
Lot of anticipation about that.
473
00:26:08,375 --> 00:26:11,812
- Is there?
- Oh, sure. It's the State of the Union.
474
00:26:11,879 --> 00:26:15,816
The yardstick against which presidents
set themselves to be measured.
475
00:26:15,883 --> 00:26:18,819
It's always illuminating.
476
00:26:20,221 --> 00:26:23,324
I hope you'll do us a favor
and keep it under an hour.
477
00:26:24,158 --> 00:26:27,728
The sciatica you get
sitting in the House is murderous.
478
00:26:27,795 --> 00:26:31,866
[chuckles] I'll do my level best.
479
00:26:31,932 --> 00:26:35,870
I take it you've seen
your colleague's press conference.
480
00:26:35,936 --> 00:26:40,207
[exhales] On White House grounds.
No class.
481
00:26:40,274 --> 00:26:42,810
Vulgar, really vulgar.
482
00:26:42,877 --> 00:26:44,512
I'm going to speak to him about it.
483
00:26:44,578 --> 00:26:49,850
Conversing with a low-level
congressperson twice in as many days?
484
00:26:49,917 --> 00:26:51,485
That's not like you, Nathan.
485
00:26:51,552 --> 00:26:53,721
I talk to everybody
who needs talking to.
486
00:26:53,788 --> 00:26:57,158
Five times a day if I have to.
487
00:26:57,224 --> 00:26:59,393
Gotta run a tight ship.
488
00:27:00,494 --> 00:27:04,665
I have no intention of perpetuating
the status quo of a failed policy.
489
00:27:04,732 --> 00:27:08,803
Well, that's where we differ from you.
490
00:27:08,869 --> 00:27:12,239
And when I say we, I mean me...
491
00:27:12,306 --> 00:27:16,844
...and every president who's come
before you since Richard Nixon.
492
00:27:16,911 --> 00:27:19,580
The war on drugs
must not be abandoned.
493
00:27:20,447 --> 00:27:22,850
Drugs are at the very heart of what's
494
00:27:22,917 --> 00:27:25,352
eating away at our society
495
00:27:25,419 --> 00:27:28,489
and part and parcel
of what you call a failed policy
496
00:27:28,556 --> 00:27:31,392
is a lack of prison space
for drug offenders.
497
00:27:31,458 --> 00:27:35,262
And I'm all for addressing the problem,
just not as part of my initiative.
498
00:27:36,430 --> 00:27:38,732
Let me... let me say something to you.
499
00:27:38,799 --> 00:27:42,503
And I say it with all sincerity.
500
00:27:42,570 --> 00:27:46,273
Your bill is a good bill.
501
00:27:47,341 --> 00:27:51,445
And with this one small concession...
502
00:27:51,512 --> 00:27:53,681
...it'll pass the House.
503
00:27:54,648 --> 00:27:57,585
A concession that has
nothing to do with the issue
504
00:27:57,651 --> 00:27:59,520
and costs more
than the bill itself.
505
00:27:59,587 --> 00:28:03,324
- Politics is compromise. You know that.
- This is not compromise.
506
00:28:03,390 --> 00:28:06,327
This is a hijacking.
I refuse to give in.
507
00:28:08,863 --> 00:28:12,433
Is he on the Appropriations
Committee now? Mr. Devane?
508
00:28:12,499 --> 00:28:15,870
I had heard words to that effect, yes.
509
00:28:17,404 --> 00:28:19,240
Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
510
00:28:22,176 --> 00:28:23,811
I look forward to it.
511
00:28:24,778 --> 00:28:28,215
Be good to have you
in our neck of the woods for a change.
512
00:28:31,952 --> 00:28:34,588
So, what was it?
Some kind of a liquid tranquilizer?
513
00:28:34,655 --> 00:28:36,724
Muscle relaxant. Ketamine, she thinks.
514
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:39,860
She's promised to testify
to that in exchange for a job.
515
00:28:39,927 --> 00:28:42,563
- And this source of yours is...
- Volunteers at the DNC
516
00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:46,834
along with this other intern,
Courtney Winters. They're best friends.
517
00:28:46,901 --> 00:28:48,736
In the Washington sense of the word.
518
00:28:48,802 --> 00:28:52,106
Is this what it's come to?
Spiking the first gentleman's drink?
519
00:28:52,172 --> 00:28:55,342
It's just the beginning.
Mackenzie Allen scares the Democrats.
520
00:28:55,409 --> 00:28:58,445
[Kelly] What happened to
"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?
521
00:28:58,512 --> 00:29:00,347
Democrats know in a three-way race,
522
00:29:00,414 --> 00:29:03,350
they get 25 percent on the left,
Templeton, 25 on the right,
523
00:29:03,417 --> 00:29:06,387
the president will get the middle 50
and sail to victory.
524
00:29:06,453 --> 00:29:08,355
Dems only shot is to take her out.
525
00:29:08,422 --> 00:29:11,792
Yeah, but why attack Rod? Just
to score some cheap political points?
526
00:29:11,859 --> 00:29:14,428
To dominate headlines
before her State of the Union.
527
00:29:14,495 --> 00:29:17,698
Knocking me down a peg
knocks her down by proxy.
528
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:21,936
You want to get the Service?
Press charges?
529
00:29:22,002 --> 00:29:24,371
Yeah. Yeah. And I want
to talk to this girl.
530
00:29:24,438 --> 00:29:26,774
[Dickie] Her lawyer's talking
about a lawsuit.
531
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,677
Last thing you need is more contact.
532
00:29:30,978 --> 00:29:34,515
- I'll do the talking this time.
- What about the president?
533
00:29:34,581 --> 00:29:37,785
- Should we...?
- Yeah. Tell her.
534
00:29:41,689 --> 00:29:44,224
- [knocking]
- [door opens]
535
00:29:44,291 --> 00:29:46,894
Mr. Gardner. Courtney Winters.
536
00:29:48,562 --> 00:29:50,497
Close the door, Vince, would you?
537
00:29:50,564 --> 00:29:52,833
I'll be outside if you need anything.
538
00:30:02,743 --> 00:30:04,511
So you wanted to see me?
539
00:30:07,147 --> 00:30:09,183
Do you have aspirations, Miss Winters?
540
00:30:09,917 --> 00:30:10,951
Pardon me?
541
00:30:13,087 --> 00:30:14,888
Political aspirations.
542
00:30:14,955 --> 00:30:18,158
- Uh, I was hoping to...
- We're talking about felonies here.
543
00:30:18,225 --> 00:30:19,994
- Excuse me?
- That's a problem.
544
00:30:20,060 --> 00:30:23,364
Not only will you never vote again,
but you'll likely do time.
545
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:26,500
For what? I was groped,
and there's proof.
546
00:30:26,567 --> 00:30:30,070
Possession and delivery
of a controlled substance,
547
00:30:30,137 --> 00:30:33,007
conspiracy to threaten
the first gentleman, assault.
548
00:30:33,073 --> 00:30:36,377
- I don't need to listen to this.
- Sit down!
549
00:30:41,348 --> 00:30:45,352
I can pick up the phone
and have you arrested right now.
550
00:30:45,419 --> 00:30:47,788
How old are you?
551
00:30:48,956 --> 00:30:51,959
- How old are you?
- Twenty-two.
552
00:30:52,026 --> 00:30:54,261
They're gonna let you go to jail.
553
00:30:54,328 --> 00:30:56,096
Your superiors. Know that.
554
00:30:58,265 --> 00:31:00,534
If you give me a name,
555
00:31:00,601 --> 00:31:04,505
your career in politics may be over,
but you'll be able to walk out of here.
556
00:31:12,413 --> 00:31:14,148
[sighs]
557
00:31:14,214 --> 00:31:16,884
[clock chimes]
558
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:18,385
Hey.
559
00:31:18,452 --> 00:31:20,621
I was just gonna say
good night to the kids.
560
00:31:20,687 --> 00:31:23,891
Well, I'll walk with you.
561
00:31:27,127 --> 00:31:29,763
I heard.
562
00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:32,666
About the Democratic operative.
563
00:31:32,733 --> 00:31:35,135
I'm not sure of the details
or how high it goes.
564
00:31:35,202 --> 00:31:36,670
Doesn't matter.
565
00:31:36,737 --> 00:31:38,772
Hey.
566
00:31:40,741 --> 00:31:44,111
I never set out to hurt you, Mac.
567
00:31:44,178 --> 00:31:47,414
- Ever.
- I know.
568
00:31:47,481 --> 00:31:49,917
I'm sorry too.
569
00:31:53,153 --> 00:31:54,955
Mm.
570
00:31:56,990 --> 00:31:59,960
- Well, uh, I've got an appointment.
- OK.
571
00:32:00,027 --> 00:32:02,463
- Kiss the kids good night for me?
- Yeah.
572
00:32:02,529 --> 00:32:04,631
All right.
573
00:32:05,566 --> 00:32:08,469
[Rebecca] Shh, shh.
Hey, Amy. Amy, it's OK.
574
00:32:08,535 --> 00:32:10,938
It's OK. I promise.
You don't have to cry.
575
00:32:11,004 --> 00:32:13,740
- Everything is going to be...
- Baby, what's wrong?
576
00:32:15,008 --> 00:32:17,244
Nothing, she just heard some things.
577
00:32:17,311 --> 00:32:18,812
What kind of things?
578
00:32:18,879 --> 00:32:21,882
You and Daddy are getting a divorce.
579
00:32:21,949 --> 00:32:25,519
Oh, baby, why in the world
would you think that?
580
00:32:25,586 --> 00:32:27,287
Horace and Becca said.
581
00:32:27,354 --> 00:32:29,957
Um... no, we didn't.
582
00:32:30,023 --> 00:32:32,626
Um, Amy just kinda heard us talking.
583
00:32:32,693 --> 00:32:34,228
Amy. Listen to me.
584
00:32:34,294 --> 00:32:35,963
All of you.
585
00:32:36,029 --> 00:32:37,698
Mommy and Daddy are fine.
586
00:32:37,764 --> 00:32:39,133
We just...
587
00:32:39,199 --> 00:32:42,503
Sometimes people argue, that's all.
588
00:32:42,569 --> 00:32:46,640
But you never argued as much as you
have since we've been here.
589
00:32:48,342 --> 00:32:51,845
- Oh, baby. I'm sorry.
- [Amy sniffling]
590
00:32:54,781 --> 00:32:57,284
[man] We need to find
a better candidate.
591
00:32:57,351 --> 00:32:59,086
Sir. Mr. Calloway.
592
00:32:59,153 --> 00:33:00,888
- Let me call you back.
- Sir?
593
00:33:02,923 --> 00:33:06,260
Membership registration is
on the first floor by the elevator.
594
00:33:06,326 --> 00:33:08,395
We've been friends a long time.
595
00:33:08,462 --> 00:33:10,998
I'd like to think you had
nothing to do with this.
596
00:33:11,064 --> 00:33:13,000
- What are you talk...?
- I was set up.
597
00:33:13,066 --> 00:33:15,302
Your political director masterminded it.
598
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:17,604
I have no idea what
you're talking about...
599
00:33:17,671 --> 00:33:18,739
Richard Laughlin.
600
00:33:18,805 --> 00:33:21,775
We have a sworn statement
from the girl that helped him.
601
00:33:22,476 --> 00:33:24,545
Look, Rod, if that's the case,
we will...
602
00:33:24,611 --> 00:33:27,080
I remember when this
was once a great party.
603
00:33:27,147 --> 00:33:29,116
The party of ideas.
604
00:33:29,183 --> 00:33:31,385
Well, I guess you've run out.
605
00:33:32,686 --> 00:33:35,622
My family expects a public apology.
606
00:33:45,666 --> 00:33:47,568
[woman on TV] We're gonna go live
607
00:33:47,634 --> 00:33:49,636
- to Democratic National...
- Here we go.
608
00:33:49,703 --> 00:33:51,605
- Let Mr. Calloway know.
- Know what?
609
00:33:51,672 --> 00:33:54,041
DNC's chair's on live feed.
610
00:33:55,142 --> 00:33:58,679
- [man on TV] Mr. Chairman!
- Good morning. As Democrats,
611
00:33:58,745 --> 00:34:02,516
for years we've blamed
the Republicans for
612
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:06,887
creating a climate in which the politics
of personal destruction flourish.
613
00:34:06,954 --> 00:34:08,121
[sighs]
614
00:34:08,188 --> 00:34:10,657
- Today, sadly...
- Turn it up, Kelly.
615
00:34:10,724 --> 00:34:14,995
...some of our own have stepped far
over the line of civility in politics.
616
00:34:15,062 --> 00:34:18,432
An employee of the DNC,
without my knowledge,
617
00:34:18,498 --> 00:34:21,935
is alleged to have
encouraged a young intern
618
00:34:22,002 --> 00:34:26,640
to place an illegal substance in a drink
of first gentleman, Rod Calloway.
619
00:34:26,707 --> 00:34:29,743
We are cooperating fully
with the proper authorities.
620
00:34:29,810 --> 00:34:32,179
As chairman,
621
00:34:32,246 --> 00:34:35,682
I apologize for the rogue
actions of these individuals.
622
00:34:35,749 --> 00:34:40,153
And I wish to convey
my most sincere regrets
623
00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:44,191
to the first gentleman,
the president
624
00:34:44,258 --> 00:34:47,227
and their family. Thank you.
625
00:34:47,294 --> 00:34:48,795
[man] Question! Question!
626
00:34:51,231 --> 00:34:53,467
Jim, how do we want to respond?
627
00:34:53,533 --> 00:34:56,536
- Only way we can. In kind.
- [Kelly] That's not what I meant.
628
00:34:56,603 --> 00:34:58,772
[Dickie] I know. We have to retaliate.
629
00:34:58,839 --> 00:35:01,208
Do the same kind of dirty work
with our own goons?
630
00:35:01,275 --> 00:35:03,977
Well, I'd prefer to call it
a political SWAT team.
631
00:35:04,044 --> 00:35:06,546
- Dickie.
- Ma'am?
632
00:35:06,613 --> 00:35:08,315
Can I have a moment?
633
00:35:12,319 --> 00:35:14,221
Close the door.
634
00:35:17,391 --> 00:35:20,894
This has been one of the most
frustrating weeks of my presidency.
635
00:35:20,961 --> 00:35:23,964
- I'm sure it has.
- I've been played, circumvented,
636
00:35:24,031 --> 00:35:26,466
publicly embarrassed,
privately hurt.
637
00:35:26,533 --> 00:35:29,169
All in the name of politics.
638
00:35:29,236 --> 00:35:31,772
If I can't take the high road
to the presidency,
639
00:35:31,838 --> 00:35:35,375
it's just not worth the journey,
at least, not to me.
640
00:35:35,442 --> 00:35:38,312
And if you are incapable
of traveling that road
641
00:35:38,378 --> 00:35:40,380
in the fashion
to which I'm committed,
642
00:35:40,447 --> 00:35:42,983
then I don't want you
representing me.
643
00:35:43,050 --> 00:35:47,387
I don't want you working for me.
I don't want you around.
644
00:35:48,789 --> 00:35:51,325
- Yes, ma'am.
- Good.
645
00:35:51,391 --> 00:35:54,328
- Then we're in agreement.
- Yes, ma'am.
646
00:35:57,698 --> 00:35:59,099
Ma'am.
647
00:35:59,166 --> 00:36:03,737
The House closed voting on
your initiative. It passed, 238 to 109.
648
00:36:03,804 --> 00:36:05,839
I'm sorry.
649
00:36:13,747 --> 00:36:15,415
[horns honking]
650
00:36:18,251 --> 00:36:20,120
[chattering]
651
00:36:23,757 --> 00:36:27,027
- Richard Laughlin.
- Dickie McDonald.
652
00:36:28,795 --> 00:36:31,798
- Figured you'd be over the border.
- I have good lawyers.
653
00:36:31,865 --> 00:36:35,702
- DNC'll make this go away.
- No, man. You're kidding yourself.
654
00:36:35,769 --> 00:36:39,439
You committed a serious crime.
The DNC are gonna feed you to the dogs.
655
00:36:40,540 --> 00:36:43,210
- What were you thinking?
- Nothing you wouldn't have.
656
00:36:44,378 --> 00:36:46,847
Actually, I draw the line at felonies.
657
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:49,916
I did what needed to be done.
She's splitting the party.
658
00:36:49,983 --> 00:36:53,754
The party can't afford to be split.
She keeps this up,
659
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:56,356
she'll bring the system down.
The whole country.
660
00:36:56,423 --> 00:36:59,025
You know what's funny, Richard?
661
00:36:59,092 --> 00:37:01,261
I never pegged you
for a true believer.
662
00:37:02,863 --> 00:37:05,365
As opposed to being paid to be one.
663
00:37:08,702 --> 00:37:11,638
The truth is
we are a lot alike, Dickie.
664
00:37:11,705 --> 00:37:14,141
Trust me.
665
00:37:20,514 --> 00:37:22,682
[Jayne] What makes you
think she won't veto?
666
00:37:22,749 --> 00:37:26,386
She may yet.
But we can always override.
667
00:37:27,053 --> 00:37:29,790
In any event, she won't
be talking about it tonight.
668
00:37:29,856 --> 00:37:33,326
She can hardly claim
legislative victory
669
00:37:33,393 --> 00:37:37,431
when it's been usurped
by a costly rider.
670
00:37:37,497 --> 00:37:39,933
She's going to be forced
to talk about the economy
671
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,836
which is always in
the crapper this time of year.
672
00:37:42,903 --> 00:37:45,038
So if I were you,
I would wear a warm coat.
673
00:37:45,105 --> 00:37:47,007
It's going to be a very cold room.
674
00:37:47,073 --> 00:37:48,742
Should we get dinner beforehand?
675
00:37:48,809 --> 00:37:51,845
Once she gets the floor,
God knows how long she'll be up there.
676
00:37:51,912 --> 00:37:54,514
[man on TV] ...over the line
of civility in politics.
677
00:37:54,581 --> 00:37:56,683
Oh, look at this.
678
00:37:56,750 --> 00:37:58,285
An employee of the DNC...
679
00:37:58,351 --> 00:38:01,354
- Better them than us.
- Amateur hour.
680
00:38:01,421 --> 00:38:03,156
[telephone rings]
681
00:38:04,891 --> 00:38:06,259
[Jayne] Hello?
682
00:38:08,995 --> 00:38:10,897
You've got to be kidding me.
683
00:38:12,165 --> 00:38:15,302
- What is it?
- Send it over ASAP.
684
00:38:15,368 --> 00:38:17,204
Thanks.
685
00:38:17,270 --> 00:38:20,474
They're messengering over
the president's State of the Union
686
00:38:20,540 --> 00:38:21,808
as a written report.
687
00:38:21,875 --> 00:38:24,578
- I don't understand.
- She's not addressing the House.
688
00:38:24,644 --> 00:38:27,547
- She's doing it from the Oval Office.
- She can't do that.
689
00:38:27,614 --> 00:38:29,816
They're citing
Article Two, Section Three.
690
00:38:29,883 --> 00:38:32,118
She doesn't have to
give a report in person.
691
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:34,554
The joint session,
Supreme Court justices...
692
00:38:34,621 --> 00:38:37,257
Diplomatic corps. I know.
She's calling them all off.
693
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:43,763
She's spitting in the face of history.
694
00:38:43,830 --> 00:38:47,167
In the face of every president
since Woodrow Wilson.
695
00:38:54,541 --> 00:38:56,877
Hey, let that rest.
It's a good speech.
696
00:38:56,943 --> 00:38:59,179
What's a five-letter word for highway?
697
00:38:59,246 --> 00:39:01,248
[scoffs] I should've known.
698
00:39:02,082 --> 00:39:05,252
- It's better than biting my nails.
- You're gonna be great.
699
00:39:06,353 --> 00:39:10,023
- [breathes deeply]
- So...
700
00:39:10,090 --> 00:39:12,492
...I am moving my things
out of the West Wing
701
00:39:12,559 --> 00:39:15,228
and back into the
first gentleman's office.
702
00:39:17,364 --> 00:39:20,534
- Rod, we can talk about...
- Mac. Mac.
703
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,236
You're the first woman president.
704
00:39:23,303 --> 00:39:25,472
You need to stand taller
and be stronger
705
00:39:25,539 --> 00:39:27,541
than any man who's
come before you.
706
00:39:27,607 --> 00:39:31,778
And with me by your side,
you can't do that.
707
00:39:33,079 --> 00:39:36,283
It's not fair. It's not right.
But it's the truth.
708
00:39:38,485 --> 00:39:41,321
It'll be better that way.
709
00:39:41,388 --> 00:39:43,557
For us too.
710
00:39:43,623 --> 00:39:46,693
And you only have
eight minutes left.
711
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,329
And that's your husband talking.
712
00:39:49,396 --> 00:39:51,598
Thanks.
713
00:39:52,799 --> 00:39:55,268
- Oh, it's... it's "route," by the way.
- What?
714
00:39:55,335 --> 00:39:57,637
"Route," it's a five-letter word
for highway.
715
00:39:59,673 --> 00:40:01,708
- Hmm.
- Mm-hm.
716
00:40:03,443 --> 00:40:06,212
[man] In three, two...
717
00:40:06,279 --> 00:40:09,282
My fellow Americans,
tonight I have the honor
718
00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:11,651
of reporting on the state
of our great union.
719
00:40:11,718 --> 00:40:14,120
And I've chosen to do so,
720
00:40:14,187 --> 00:40:16,690
not before
the people's representatives,
721
00:40:16,756 --> 00:40:19,292
but directly to the people
who are watching this
722
00:40:19,359 --> 00:40:23,830
on television in living rooms
and workplaces across the country.
723
00:40:23,897 --> 00:40:26,199
The past year has been one of tragedy,
724
00:40:26,266 --> 00:40:28,568
of both pain and pride,
725
00:40:28,635 --> 00:40:30,904
of victory and uncertainty.
726
00:40:30,971 --> 00:40:34,240
Despite this,
the American economy is strong,
727
00:40:34,307 --> 00:40:36,176
the will of the people, unbending,
728
00:40:36,242 --> 00:40:38,612
and its conscience, clear.
729
00:40:38,678 --> 00:40:42,349
I wish that the same could be said
of our elected officials in Washington.
730
00:40:42,415 --> 00:40:44,484
As witnessed recently,
731
00:40:44,551 --> 00:40:47,320
tactics of ugliness
and deception have prevailed.
732
00:40:47,387 --> 00:40:52,125
Earlier today, bill HR1468
was passed by Congress,
733
00:40:52,192 --> 00:40:55,629
a bill designed to help
men, women and children
734
00:40:55,695 --> 00:40:58,298
across the nation find jobs,
735
00:40:58,365 --> 00:41:01,134
find homes and build lives.
736
00:41:01,201 --> 00:41:03,737
But that bill doesn't exist any longer.
737
00:41:03,803 --> 00:41:07,574
It was hijacked
and inflated by ideology,
738
00:41:07,641 --> 00:41:11,244
by a system,
by personal agenda.
739
00:41:11,311 --> 00:41:15,181
It was amended,
not because it needed improvement,
740
00:41:15,248 --> 00:41:19,552
but because it could pave the way for
special interest groups to make money,
741
00:41:19,619 --> 00:41:22,155
for them to treat poverty
with prison terms.
742
00:41:22,222 --> 00:41:23,990
It was business as usual.
743
00:41:24,057 --> 00:41:26,393
It was politics as usual.
744
00:41:26,459 --> 00:41:28,361
In the next ten days,
745
00:41:28,428 --> 00:41:30,930
I will be vetoing HR1468,
746
00:41:30,997 --> 00:41:33,366
a bill I myself sponsored.
747
00:41:33,433 --> 00:41:36,503
It's important that you, the people,
748
00:41:36,569 --> 00:41:39,539
let your representatives
know that our government,
749
00:41:39,606 --> 00:41:44,577
that our liberty and that
our rights are not for sale.
750
00:41:44,644 --> 00:41:47,514
If you do, I promise you this:
751
00:41:47,580 --> 00:41:49,716
The end of politics as usual
752
00:41:49,783 --> 00:41:53,219
and the beginning
of true political independence.
