SELINA: <i>My fellow Americans,</i>

4
00:00:20,312 --> 00:00:24,598
<i>I stand before you this
morning in barefaced awe</i>

5
00:00:24,683 --> 00:00:28,101
<i>of the majesty of our democratic system.</i>

6
00:00:28,186 --> 00:00:29,936
<i>What a night.</i>

7
00:00:30,022 --> 00:00:32,022
<i>In a democracy such as ours,</i>

8
00:00:32,107 --> 00:00:35,025
it falls to the people to
choose their president,

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,661
and that is what you
attempted to do last night.

10
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:41,531
<i>As it turned out, there's a
virtually unprecedented tie</i>

11
00:00:41,667 --> 00:00:42,999
<i>in the electoral college,</i>

12
00:00:43,085 --> 00:00:44,751
<i>a somewhat arcane institution</i>

13
00:00:44,870 --> 00:00:47,370
<i>that many scholars believe
we should do away with.</i>

14
00:00:47,506 --> 00:00:49,873
<i>I wish to say on a personal note</i>

15
00:00:50,008 --> 00:00:51,841
<i>that although there is a tie,</i>

16
00:00:51,927 --> 00:00:55,378
<i>I am most privileged to
have won the popular vote.</i>

17
00:00:55,464 --> 00:00:57,881
<i>And though this tie may be frustrating,</i>

18
00:00:57,966 --> 00:01:00,216
<i>I want to assure the American people</i>

19
00:01:00,302 --> 00:01:02,385
our country is not leaderless.

20
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:05,939
No matter who you voted
for, I am your president.

21
00:01:06,058 --> 00:01:08,441
Thank you all. God bless you.

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,612
And may God bless the
United States of America.

23
00:01:12,731 --> 00:01:14,614
We're clear.

24
00:01:14,733 --> 00:01:17,567
Can we have the room?
Fantastic speech, ma'am.

25
00:01:17,653 --> 00:01:20,153
The three Ss... strength,
stability and bullshit.

26
00:01:20,238 --> 00:01:23,740
I forgot to thank the voters for making our
country look like a high school Spanish club.

27
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:26,910
Didn't those founding fuckers
ever hear of an odd number?

28
00:01:26,995 --> 00:01:29,412
Two great Greek
contributions to society...

29
00:01:29,498 --> 00:01:31,748
democracy and getting fucked up the ass.

30
00:01:31,833 --> 00:01:34,968
I've tried both and they're
way overrated, like jazz.

31
00:01:35,087 --> 00:01:38,305
My bowling coach used to say a tie
was like kissing your sister.

32
00:01:38,423 --> 00:01:41,141
Well, this feels like my sister
took a shit on my chest.

33
00:01:41,259 --> 00:01:43,810
God, I'll tell you something, too, okay?

34
00:01:43,929 --> 00:01:46,763
There is no world in which I
am going to be vice president

35
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:50,934
to that smug, Dick Van Dyke-looking
motherfucker Tom James.

36
00:01:51,069 --> 00:01:52,736
Who in the hell does he think...

37
00:01:52,821 --> 00:01:55,021
Catherine, what are you
doing with that thing?

38
00:01:55,107 --> 00:01:57,490
- BEN:<i> Is that on?</i>
- Remember when we got back last night?

39
00:01:57,609 --> 00:01:59,109
My thesis film about the tie.

40
00:01:59,244 --> 00:02:00,527
She majored in film at Vassar College.

41
00:02:00,612 --> 00:02:02,362
Oh, believe me, I know
what she majored in.

42
00:02:02,447 --> 00:02:04,698
65 grand a year to watch movies.

43
00:02:04,783 --> 00:02:06,700
Mom, this is such a historic event.

44
00:02:06,785 --> 00:02:08,535
Can you please just get off of me?

45
00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:10,620
And I never came up with a
thesis my advisor liked

46
00:02:10,706 --> 00:02:13,340
because I had that thing last semester
where I was tired all the time...

47
00:02:13,458 --> 00:02:16,509
Okay, we don't have time to hear
the story of your syndrome.

48
00:02:16,628 --> 00:02:18,294
What about your minor, dance?

49
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:21,765
Why don't you make up a little kind
of a dance about the election?

50
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:24,517
You know, you can't decide should
you dance or should you not dance?

51
00:02:24,636 --> 00:02:27,771
I want you to take this seriously.
You promised me.

52
00:02:27,856 --> 00:02:30,190
Please, Catherine, stop with
the whining, all right?

53
00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:32,942
You're gonna shatter the
bulletproof glass in here.

54
00:02:33,028 --> 00:02:34,861
How is it that we did not win Delaware?

55
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:37,897
Okay, is that a yes to my question?

56
00:02:39,651 --> 00:02:43,119
Okay, she can have full access, okay?

57
00:02:43,205 --> 00:02:46,740
Starting right after we address
the situation in Yemen.

58
00:02:46,825 --> 00:02:48,408
Honey, it's Yemen.

59
00:02:48,493 --> 00:02:51,661
Life gives you Yemen, you
got to make Yemenade.

60
00:02:51,747 --> 00:02:53,797
Okay, well, I'll come back later.

61
00:02:53,882 --> 00:02:55,999
You always do. (KISSES)

62
00:02:56,084 --> 00:02:57,333
- <i> (DOOR CLOSES)</i>
- Ma'am.

63
00:02:57,419 --> 00:02:58,835
No, there's not gonna be a film.

64
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:00,804
The only thing Catherine ever finished

65
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:02,338
was an entire ice cream cake.

66
00:03:02,424 --> 00:03:03,840
Quick thinking about Yemen, by the way.

67
00:03:03,925 --> 00:03:06,393
Actually, four Christian
missionaries burned to death.

68
00:03:06,511 --> 00:03:07,427
Oh, even better.

69
00:03:07,512 --> 00:03:09,813
Amy! Jesus.

70
00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:12,432
This thing on the side of my
face feels like a dog nipple.

71
00:03:12,517 --> 00:03:13,900
It's hardly noticeable, ma'am,

72
00:03:14,019 --> 00:03:15,819
like our Hispanic voter turnout.

73
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,354
Maybe you just might want to
see a doctor just in case.

74
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,740
No, she doesn't need a doctor.
I got it under control.

75
00:03:20,859 --> 00:03:22,192
- Amy!
- Yeah?

76
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:23,993
- So, what?
- Nothing.

77
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:26,196
I've been on the phone all
night with these clueless

78
00:03:26,281 --> 00:03:28,114
constitutional law experts of ours.

79
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,866
I don't know what's getting
their dicks harder,

80
00:03:29,951 --> 00:03:31,835
an electoral college tie
or talking to a girl.

81
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,538
- Are you back?
- No, I'm not back. I'm just helping out.

82
00:03:35,624 --> 00:03:36,790
- Ma'am.
- What?

83
00:03:36,875 --> 00:03:39,175
Do you want to see a doctor about the...

84
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:41,344
- It's a stress pimple.
- No, it's...

85
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,763
- I get them on my ass all the time.
- It's not a stress pimple.

86
00:03:43,882 --> 00:03:46,683
It's a pimple that erupted
during a very stressful time.

87
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,351
- Gary's on it, okay?
- Exactly, yes.

88
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:50,437
- I don't have a spoon.
- Oh.

89
00:03:50,555 --> 00:03:52,055
Have you tried cider vinegar?

90
00:03:52,190 --> 00:03:54,023
No, we're using hot compresses.
That's all we need.

91
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,143
For the stress pimple? Ben gets those
on his butt. She should see a doctor.

92
00:03:57,229 --> 00:03:58,945
- Amy's back.
- No, I'm not back.

93
00:03:59,064 --> 00:04:01,231
- Ma'am, rave reviews on the speech.
- Good.

94
00:04:01,316 --> 00:04:03,900
- Oh, and big news.
- Oh, God, O'Brien made a statement?

95
00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:06,870
I'm sorry, I should have
said big personal news.

96
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:09,122
Wendy and I are adopting
a baby from China.

97
00:04:09,241 --> 00:04:09,879
GARY: Oh!

98
00:04:09,904 --> 00:04:11,815
We were keeping it a secret
till after the election.

99
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:14,077
Actually, Wendy was keeping it
a secret from me until today

100
00:04:14,212 --> 00:04:15,745
because I'm so bad with keeping secrets.

101
00:04:15,831 --> 00:04:18,715
- But I'm gonna be a dad.
- You're a nincompoop.

102
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,918
We are in the middle of a tied election.

103
00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:25,338
There is no time for some Chinese baby.

104
00:04:25,423 --> 00:04:27,423
Cancel it and see if you
can get your money back.

105
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:30,260
Fortune cookie say you fuck
up big-time, round eye.

106
00:04:30,345 --> 00:04:33,313
It's not a big deal. I don't
even know when to expect her.

107
00:04:33,431 --> 00:04:36,099
And, starting today, I'm
getting in dad shape.

108
00:04:36,234 --> 00:04:36,893
Counting my steps.

109
00:04:36,918 --> 00:04:38,675
Too bad you're not
counting your missteps.

110
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:40,153
You'd be done by breakfast, right?

111
00:04:40,272 --> 00:04:42,155
I prefer to count my steps in my head.

112
00:04:42,274 --> 00:04:44,190
4,383.

113
00:04:44,276 --> 00:04:46,159
Get out of my sight, Kent, okay?

114
00:04:46,278 --> 00:04:47,660
I have not forgiven you for this tie.

115
00:04:47,779 --> 00:04:50,446
Ma'am, I have the final House results.

116
00:04:52,284 --> 00:04:54,250
- Lafontaine won?
- Mm-hmm.

117
00:04:54,336 --> 00:04:56,169
How many abortions does a pro-lifer

118
00:04:56,288 --> 00:04:58,922
have to pressure his mistress into
before the people turn on him?

119
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:01,291
- Three.
- And how did Craig lose?

120
00:05:01,426 --> 00:05:02,959
Didn't she go to Indiana,
like, five times?

121
00:05:03,094 --> 00:05:05,128
That may have been the problem.

122
00:05:05,213 --> 00:05:07,597
All right, listen. From
this moment forward,

123
00:05:07,682 --> 00:05:09,883
people, I am all about the House vote.

124
00:05:09,968 --> 00:05:13,770
We are recommending direct engagement
with individual congressmen.

125
00:05:13,855 --> 00:05:15,638
- That's got to happen.
- BEN:<i> That's right.</i>

126
00:05:15,724 --> 00:05:17,690
And every day you have to do the
one thing O'Brien can't do.

127
00:05:17,809 --> 00:05:20,643
- Yeah, drive sober.
- Take a shit without getting a hernia.

128
00:05:20,729 --> 00:05:23,146
Be the president. It is imperative

129
00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:25,281
that you look presidential right now.

130
00:05:25,367 --> 00:05:27,367
I'm going to visit troops,

131
00:05:27,485 --> 00:05:30,320
go on and off of Air Force
One as much as possible.

132
00:05:30,455 --> 00:05:32,121
- We don't even have to leave the ground.
- Right.

133
00:05:32,207 --> 00:05:33,990
Ma'am, you may want to consider

134
00:05:34,075 --> 00:05:36,376
- moving up that symposium on race.
- SELINA:<i> Uh...</i>

135
00:05:36,494 --> 00:05:39,712
I don't think that we're
symposium on race desperate yet.

136
00:05:39,831 --> 00:05:42,498
- All right?
- Hi.

137
00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:43,833
Sorry I'm late.

138
00:05:43,969 --> 00:05:46,135
Strangely, I agree with
everything Amy just said.

139
00:05:46,221 --> 00:05:48,254
And if I may also suggest

140
00:05:48,340 --> 00:05:50,807
<i>repurposing the election Twitter account</i>

141
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:53,843
to a new POTUS account to talk
directly to the American people.

142
00:05:53,929 --> 00:05:57,430
Great idea, Bill. Could you...

143
00:05:57,515 --> 00:06:00,683
could you step outside
for a moment, please?

144
00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:02,602
- <i> (DOOR OPENS)</i>
- Sure.

145
00:06:03,855 --> 00:06:05,855
Now.

146
00:06:05,991 --> 00:06:08,107
- <i> (DOOR CLOSES)</i>
- There's only one person

147
00:06:08,193 --> 00:06:10,193
I'd be more surprised to see
today in the Roosevelt Room

148
00:06:10,328 --> 00:06:12,362
and that's Teddy fucking Roosevelt.

149
00:06:12,497 --> 00:06:14,614
- I'm just trying to help the president.
- And she appreciates that.

150
00:06:14,699 --> 00:06:18,034
But the US Attorney for the District
of Columbia is prepared to indict you.

151
00:06:18,119 --> 00:06:20,920
You're as welcome here as a
swastika-shaped shit in a synagogue.

152
00:06:21,039 --> 00:06:22,789
- Of course.
- I spoke with the president

153
00:06:22,874 --> 00:06:25,041
and she's willing to
reconsider a full pardon

154
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:27,794
if you surrender quietly. No media.

155
00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,296
Just don't want to
dominate the news cycle.

156
00:06:30,382 --> 00:06:32,882
- Can I just say one thing?
- Yes, good-bye.

157
00:06:36,221 --> 00:06:38,721
- (DOOR OPENS)
- So, how'd it go?

158
00:06:38,857 --> 00:06:40,056
He took it like a man.

159
00:06:40,191 --> 00:06:42,725
Oh, well, he better get
used to that. Pfft.

160
00:06:42,861 --> 00:06:44,394
Isn't she adorable?

161
00:06:44,479 --> 00:06:46,863
- Oh, they all look alike to me.
- What?

162
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:50,366
Not Chinese people, but
pictures of children. How old?

163
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:53,903
The agency says she's either
16 months or three years old.

164
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:55,705
- Do you like your Fitbit?
- Oh, yeah.

165
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:58,741
- I am just over 12,000 steps today.
- (PHONE RINGING)

166
00:06:58,827 --> 00:07:00,994
I'm at 3,000. Did you run to work today?

167
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:03,079
No, the job keeps me active.

168
00:07:03,214 --> 00:07:05,498
Office of the president.

169
00:07:06,584 --> 00:07:07,800
Hold, please.

170
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:10,303
When we come back, the
pollster postmortem.

171
00:07:10,422 --> 00:07:13,089
Why were the exit polls so off?

172
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:19,262
- Oh, Greg. Greg.
- Dan.

173
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:20,930
- Great job last night.
- Thank you.

174
00:07:21,016 --> 00:07:22,649
I saw Matty Curtis crying
in the parking garage.

175
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:24,567
(LAUGHS) That's fantastic. Hey, listen.

176
00:07:24,653 --> 00:07:26,569
I was really hoping to get back
on, but they got me waiting

177
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:28,521
- in the greenroom for, like, two hours.
- Spauldy showed up.

178
00:07:28,606 --> 00:07:30,690
He's here. He's getting his hair done.
Just go home, I guess.

179
00:07:30,775 --> 00:07:32,325
But I killed it last night, right?

180
00:07:32,444 --> 00:07:34,444
Dan, look, I think you could
have a future in this,

181
00:07:34,529 --> 00:07:36,279
but you got to get out there
and make a name for yourself.

182
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:38,948
You ran one campaign for two weeks
and had a nervous breakdown.

183
00:07:39,034 --> 00:07:40,450
That is medically inaccurate.

184
00:07:40,535 --> 00:07:42,201
Go out, win a race with a Jesus-loving

185
00:07:42,287 --> 00:07:44,754
homophobic homosexual or
a racist billionaire.

186
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:46,789
Then we can talk about a career in TV.

187
00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:54,630
- How's Zitzilla looking?
- Angry. You been picking at it?

188
00:07:54,766 --> 00:07:56,716
No.

189
00:07:56,801 --> 00:08:00,019
Ahem, well, maybe a little bit, but...

190
00:08:00,138 --> 00:08:02,138
- Ow! Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God. What? What?

191
00:08:02,273 --> 00:08:05,224
- Oh, that is so hot.
- It's supposed to be hot.

192
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:06,976
And the tea is cold.

193
00:08:07,112 --> 00:08:08,811
Madam President, Chinese hackers

194
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:11,531
breached an NSA firewall
earlier this morning.

195
00:08:11,649 --> 00:08:13,616
- Any chance they fixed the Wi-Fi?
- I'll check.

196
00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:15,985
And the director of the Secret
Service is waiting to see you.

197
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:18,738
Then send him in. If he's been
waiting to see me, I mean...

198
00:08:18,823 --> 00:08:20,656
- hi, Keith.
- Sorry to bother you, ma'am.

199
00:08:20,742 --> 00:08:22,742
<i>No, it's okay. It's no bother.</i>

200
00:08:22,827 --> 00:08:26,162
Since you became president, we have been
looking for a new lead agent for your detail.

201
00:08:26,247 --> 00:08:29,132
Gosh, I like Bob. I mean, apart
from the discolored tooth.

202
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:31,551
But that's obviously not
a reason to replace him.

203
00:08:31,669 --> 00:08:33,419
- Can they replace the tooth?
- No, no.

204
00:08:33,505 --> 00:08:35,505
Ma'am, this is Special
Agent Marjorie Palmiotti.

205
00:08:35,590 --> 00:08:37,173
- Oh, hello.
- Hello, ma'am.

206
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:38,841
- Agent?
- Palmiotti.

207
00:08:38,977 --> 00:08:40,977
- Palmiotti, okay. Welcome aboard.
- Thank you.

208
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:42,979
Ma'am, a key requirement
for being lead agent

209
00:08:43,064 --> 00:08:45,598
is someone who looks like the
president, especially from behind,

210
00:08:45,683 --> 00:08:48,568
<i>to provide an additional decoy
target for any would-be assailants.</i>

211
00:08:48,686 --> 00:08:50,937
I'm a perfect match from behind.

212
00:08:51,022 --> 00:08:54,907
Um, okay, I'll tell you something.

213
00:08:55,026 --> 00:08:57,744
I am not quite seeing it,

214
00:08:57,862 --> 00:09:01,364
um, only because I'm...

215
00:09:03,034 --> 00:09:06,169
well, you are...

216
00:09:06,254 --> 00:09:07,067
Ma'am?

217
00:09:07,092 --> 00:09:09,529
It's just... would you mind
just giving us a second,

218
00:09:09,591 --> 00:09:12,508
Agent Palmi... thank you.

219
00:09:14,045 --> 00:09:17,797
Keith, are you really not
seeing what it is I'm seeing?

220
00:09:17,882 --> 00:09:20,133
- No, ma'am.
- Gary, can you help me out here?

221
00:09:20,218 --> 00:09:22,435
She smells completely
different, so, you know...

222
00:09:22,554 --> 00:09:24,937
- That is not what... it's not...
-<i> (KNOCKS)</i>

223
00:09:25,056 --> 00:09:27,890
Excuse me, ma'am, if you... I'm sorry.

224
00:09:28,026 --> 00:09:31,394
- What?
- You've got to see this, ma'am.

225
00:09:31,479 --> 00:09:33,896
- Pleasure to meet you.
- Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

226
00:09:35,283 --> 00:09:37,116
Oh, shit.

227
00:09:37,235 --> 00:09:38,985
The big story at this moment... Nevada.

228
00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:40,787
<i>With all the votes now tallied,</i>

229
00:09:40,905 --> 00:09:43,956
Senator Bill O'Brien's lead
over President Selina Meyer

230
00:09:44,075 --> 00:09:47,460
is now less than half a percent,
which by Nevada state law

231
00:09:47,579 --> 00:09:49,662
<i>would allow for a possible recount.</i>

232
00:09:49,747 --> 00:09:52,298
If President Meyer
were to win a recount,

233
00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:54,417
she wins Nevada's six electoral votes

234
00:09:54,502 --> 00:09:56,335
- and therefore the presidency.
- Oh!

235
00:09:56,421 --> 00:09:58,921
- All the networks have it.
- "New York Times" as well.

236
00:09:59,007 --> 00:10:01,808
- Oh, my God! Oh, wait.
- (LAUGHING)

237
00:10:01,926 --> 00:10:04,844
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a
minute. Is this really happening?

238
00:10:04,929 --> 00:10:06,929
I mean, do we actually
have a chance at Nevada?

239
00:10:07,065 --> 00:10:08,681
- "Nev-add-a."
- Oh, my God.

240
00:10:08,766 --> 00:10:11,934
I get to be president. I don't
have to move. What do we do?

241
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:13,820
Ma'am, we need to be sure
that when we get on...

242
00:10:13,938 --> 00:10:16,439
No, shut up, Kent. You already
lost Nevada for me once.

243
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:18,658
- "Nev-add-a."
- Ben, what do we do?

244
00:10:18,776 --> 00:10:21,777
Uh, we need to get ahold of our
people in Nevada. Don't. Don't.

245
00:10:21,863 --> 00:10:24,247
RICHARD: <i>The vast majority of
Nevada voting is done by machine.</i>

246
00:10:24,332 --> 00:10:26,666
Once the Nevada Secretary of
State certifies the count,

247
00:10:26,784 --> 00:10:28,618
we'll then have 72 hours
to request a recount.

248
00:10:28,703 --> 00:10:31,420
At that point, 5% of the
precincts will be selected,

249
00:10:31,506 --> 00:10:32,872
and if there's a discrepancy
of more than 1%,

250
00:10:32,957 --> 00:10:35,007
a full hand recount will be requested.

251
00:10:35,126 --> 00:10:37,677
<i>I actually did my doctorate in
recount procedures in the West.</i>

252
00:10:37,795 --> 00:10:40,179
Excellent work, Richard.
Richard works for me.

253
00:10:40,298 --> 00:10:41,325
You have a doctorate?

254
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:43,990
Two. Constitutional law
and veterinary medicine,

255
00:10:44,102 --> 00:10:46,102
- which was my fallback.
- But you were getting my coffee.

256
00:10:46,187 --> 00:10:48,855
Which is much harder 'cause you
have so many different moods.

257
00:10:48,973 --> 00:10:51,140
Like a half-caff and a
full-caff, macchiato.

258
00:10:51,226 --> 00:10:52,725
- "Ma-key-ato."
- <i> Macchiato.</i>

259
00:10:52,810 --> 00:10:56,195
Okay, Richard, you are going
to be my recount specialist.

260
00:10:56,314 --> 00:10:58,147
- Jonah, you're working for Richard.
- Wait, what?

261
00:10:58,233 --> 00:11:00,366
Amy, you got to sort
all of this out, okay?

262
00:11:00,485 --> 00:11:02,652
Ma'am, I really can't go to Nevada.
I'm not even really here.

263
00:11:02,737 --> 00:11:05,738
Ma'am, O'Brien is calling a press conference
in an hour to discuss the recount.

264
00:11:05,823 --> 00:11:07,823
I'm gonna talk in a half an hour, okay?

265
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:09,625
I got to say stuff before he says stuff.

266
00:11:09,711 --> 00:11:11,744
- Listen, you got to write something up.
- I'm on it.

267
00:11:11,829 --> 00:11:14,664
- Right now. Ooh, recount, recount.
- I'm on it.

268
00:11:14,749 --> 00:11:16,382
Jonah, with me, please.

269
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:20,336
This is highly enriched
weapons-grade bullshit.

270
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,588
How dare she put you in charge of me?

271
00:11:22,674 --> 00:11:24,173
It's an outrage is what it is.

272
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:26,175
It is an outrage, you know?

273
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:27,760
She's Uncle Dursley and she's got

274
00:11:27,845 --> 00:11:31,647
the great wizard Harry Potter
living under the staircase.

275
00:11:31,733 --> 00:11:34,100
Do you see that? But what happens
in the Harry Potter books?

276
00:11:34,185 --> 00:11:36,018
He rises up and he
kills all the muggles.

277
00:11:36,104 --> 00:11:37,770
<i>I don't think that's what happens.</i>

278
00:11:37,855 --> 00:11:40,990
Actually, I'm sorry, that lumbar
support goes with this chair.

279
00:11:44,028 --> 00:11:46,946
- GARY: Yeah, we're getting there.
- Okay, so what do you got?

280
00:11:47,031 --> 00:11:50,166
Am I still standing in barefaced awe of
the majesty of our democratic system?

281
00:11:50,251 --> 00:11:52,001
- Not exactly, ma'am. This time...
- (WATCH BEEPS)

282
00:11:52,086 --> 00:11:53,419
- Oh, sorry.
- What?

283
00:11:53,538 --> 00:11:55,338
Just hit 5,000 steps on my Fitbit.

284
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,840
- Okay, okay.
- This time, you're simply blessed.

285
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:00,760
Wow, I thought your last one
was flowery, vacuous nonsense.

286
00:12:00,878 --> 00:12:03,346
This one is much worse. Excellent, Mike.

287
00:12:03,431 --> 00:12:05,381
Gary, this is taking longer than it did

288
00:12:05,466 --> 00:12:07,412
for them to paint my
fucking pool house.

289
00:12:07,437 --> 00:12:08,291
We got to go.

290
00:12:08,386 --> 00:12:11,804
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

291
00:12:11,889 --> 00:12:14,857
Yes, oh, wow. Look at this full house.

292
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:18,311
When I think about this
great country of ours,

293
00:12:18,396 --> 00:12:21,147
I have to count my blessings.

294
00:12:21,232 --> 00:12:23,649
Earlier today as you'll remember,

295
00:12:23,735 --> 00:12:26,235
I briefed you on the state
of affairs regarding...

296
00:12:26,321 --> 00:12:27,787
It's looking a little worse.

297
00:12:27,905 --> 00:12:29,538
Wherever you stand in the room,

298
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:31,741
it's still looking at you.

299
00:12:31,876 --> 00:12:34,243
Since that time, we have
been doubly blessed

300
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:37,797
by new developments in
the state of Nevada.

301
00:12:37,915 --> 00:12:41,250
And I am confident...

302
00:12:41,386 --> 00:12:43,252
- (GARY GROANS)

No, what we have to do is

He's completely off book.

00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:07,613
No, ma'am, I think that means
that he's learned all his lines

354
00:15:07,732 --> 00:15:09,064
and he no longer needs a script.

- Off the hook?

- Right.

She looks older, but...

- You like her? Yeah.
- Yes.

377

- So you're up to speed on Nevada?
- Uh-huh.

- And the markets now.

My God. Which brings me to my point.

Um, I would like to
officially offer you...

421
00:17:46,993 --> 00:17:48,581
No, no, no, no.

422
00:17:48,643 --> 00:17:51,443
- ...the position of economy czar.
- Nope, nope, nope.

423
00:17:51,562 --> 00:17:53,112
Thank you, but no.

424
00:17:53,230 --> 00:17:57,700
Why not? You would be in
charge of the economic crisis.

425
00:17:57,785 --> 00:18:00,152
No, I would be blamed for
the economic crisis.

426
00:18:00,237 --> 00:18:03,489
Tom, stop it. You wanted
to be Treasury Secretary.

427
00:18:03,574 --> 00:18:06,825
Remember? I don't see how this
is any different than that.

428
00:18:06,911 --> 00:18:09,578
Well, respectfully, Madam
President, I hope you do

429
00:18:09,664 --> 00:18:11,463
because if the President
of the United States

430
00:18:11,582 --> 00:18:13,832
can't tell the difference
between Treasury Secretary

431
00:18:13,918 --> 00:18:17,636
and stock market patsy,
that's pretty disturbing.

432
00:18:17,755 --> 00:18:19,722
Then you accept?

433
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:23,559
Madam President, it is a huge honor,

434
00:18:23,644 --> 00:18:27,646
but I have to balance that
against my need not to do it.

435
00:18:27,765 --> 00:18:30,265
Tom, I'm asking you

436
00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:33,068
as the President of the United States.

437
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:36,021
And, respectfully, I am declining.

438
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:39,358
I'm not picking up any respect.

439
00:18:39,443 --> 00:18:42,194
But you're getting the declining?

440
00:18:43,781 --> 00:18:46,782
Do you know what Candi
Caruso's real name is?

441
00:18:46,867 --> 00:18:50,002
It's Candice. And she changed
it to Candi with an I.

442
00:18:50,121 --> 00:18:51,787
If she does that to
her own goddamn name,

443
00:18:51,872 --> 00:18:54,456
how the hell is she going to
handle a potential recount?

444
00:18:54,542 --> 00:18:56,675
Good morning, Amy. This is
the president's schedule,

445
00:18:56,794 --> 00:18:59,128
which, incidentally, Ms.
Caruso is on right now.

- Oh, good morning, ma'am.

447
00:19:01,132 --> 00:19:02,297
- Good morning.
- Hey, ma'am...

448
00:19:02,383 --> 00:19:04,466
Okay, I see you. You
stay away from my face.

449
00:19:04,602 --> 00:19:07,886
I hear you, but this is a family
recipe from my aunts in Savannah

450
00:19:07,972 --> 00:19:10,305
and they swear by it for
skin problems and migraines.

451
00:19:10,391 --> 00:19:10,933
Mm-hmm.

All you're doing right
now is making me hungry.

454
00:19:14,645 --> 00:19:16,214
So why don't you do
something about that?

455
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:16,836
Sure, sure.

456
00:19:16,947 --> 00:19:18,447
- Snack.
- Uh-huh, yeah.

457
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:21,450
Amy, did you need me for anything?

458
00:19:21,535 --> 00:19:23,619
- No. I'm just chilling.
- No? Mmm.

459
00:19:25,539 --> 00:19:28,207
I think the most important
thing in terms of strategy

460
00:19:28,325 --> 00:19:29,908
is controlling the narrative.

461
00:19:29,994 --> 00:19:32,327
Oh, I have a saying. If you're
explaining, you're losing.

462
00:19:32,463 --> 00:19:34,329
Absolutely. I'm right on board with you.

463
00:19:34,465 --> 00:19:36,331
- Excuse me, Madam President.
- Amy.

464
00:19:36,467 --> 00:19:38,917
Have... have you met Candi?

465
00:19:39,003 --> 00:19:41,003
Hi, it's Candi with an I.

466
00:19:41,088 --> 00:19:43,172
Amy with a Y. Which is correct.

467
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,841
We are right in the
middle of an interview

468
00:19:45,926 --> 00:19:49,595
with an exceptionally wonderful
candidate for coordinating Nevada.

469
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,430
Ma'am, it's just gonna take a second.

470
00:19:51,515 --> 00:19:55,401
- Apologies. I'll be right back.
- Absolutely.

471
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:57,770
- I got you a snack.
- Oh, yeah, give me that.

472
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:03,242
That's a great dress.

473
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:06,028
Oh, thank you.

474
00:20:06,113 --> 00:20:09,364
- Size two?
- Um...

475
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:12,367
Ms. Caruso, the president
sends her apologies,

476
00:20:12,503 --> 00:20:13,919
but the position has been filled.

477
00:20:14,038 --> 00:20:15,954
- Ooh.
- Right this way.

478
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,590
Okay.

479
00:20:18,709 --> 00:20:21,593
And if I need more clothes, then
I'll have you or Mom send them.

480
00:20:21,712 --> 00:20:24,296
Yeah, fine, bye. Richard.

481
00:20:24,381 --> 00:20:26,515
- What's this?
-<i> You know Jonah. He works for me.</i>

482
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,467
In fact, you two used to date,
but you never got over him.

483
00:20:28,552 --> 00:20:30,352
Not Jonah. Why is baby
with a beard here?

484
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:32,638
Oh, good, you remember Cliff.
He works for me now.

485
00:20:32,723 --> 00:20:34,356
I recruited him from Justice.

486
00:20:34,442 --> 00:20:36,525
The first of many appointments
I intend to make.

487
00:20:36,610 --> 00:20:39,645
Here, Richard, we need recount
lawyers in each county

488
00:20:39,730 --> 00:20:41,613
and we need housing for
all the volunteers.

489
00:20:41,732 --> 00:20:43,982
Could you take care of this, Jonah?

490
00:20:44,068 --> 00:20:47,736
Cliff, my plate is just full of shit right
now and I'd like for you to clean that.

491
00:20:47,822 --> 00:20:49,538
You know what? I'll do it. Yeah.

492
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:51,957
- I love talking to people anyway.
- Get out.

493
00:20:52,076 --> 00:20:54,877
Out. Take that cushion with you.
That is disgusting.

494
00:20:54,962 --> 00:20:57,079
Actually, it goes with the seat,
so it should probably stay.

495
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:00,966
- Madam President!
- (PEOPLE SHOUTING)

496
00:21:01,085 --> 00:21:04,470
I can't understand a word.

497
00:21:04,588 --> 00:21:08,173
This afternoon I asked Tom James

498
00:21:08,259 --> 00:21:10,058
to serve as economy czar

499
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:11,927
and to my delight, he said yes.

500
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:13,512
- Madam President!
- (ALL SHOUTING)

501
00:21:13,597 --> 00:21:18,267
Senator James' selflessness
is an inspiration to us all.

502
00:21:18,352 --> 00:21:22,104
Whatever useless, vain, vapid thing
you're doing right now, drop it.

503
00:21:22,189 --> 00:21:24,857
Well, I am enjoying a delicious sandwich

504
00:21:24,942 --> 00:21:27,659
made even more delicious by the fact that
there's a homeless guy watching me eat it.

505
00:21:27,778 --> 00:21:30,162
AMY: <i>I need you to get on this
plane to Nevada with me today.</i>

506
00:21:30,281 --> 00:21:31,580
Been there, got fucked by that.

507
00:21:31,665 --> 00:21:33,448
Cut the shit. You just got fired.

508
00:21:33,534 --> 00:21:35,450
- Purcell's told everyone in town.
- That fucker!

509
00:21:35,586 --> 00:21:38,453
Right now you're about as toxic
as a urinal cake in Chernobyl

510
00:21:38,539 --> 00:21:39,872
and I am offering you a job.

511
00:21:39,957 --> 00:21:41,790
You have exactly zero seconds to decide.

512
00:21:41,876 --> 00:21:43,876
You know, Candi Caruso
would have asked me nicer.

513
00:21:46,797 --> 00:21:49,798
Sue, the president's
remarks for the symposium.

514
00:21:49,884 --> 00:21:52,017
And... (POPS MOUTH) caught you.

515
00:21:52,136 --> 00:21:55,137
18,000 steps. I am Chinese baby ready.

516
00:21:55,272 --> 00:21:58,390
Oh, my God. Mike, when are the
auditions for "Music Man"?

517
00:21:58,475 --> 00:22:01,443
- (CHUCKLES)
- So how many flights, Mike?

518
00:22:01,529 --> 00:22:03,779
- What do you mean flights?
- <i> As in flights of stairs.</i>

519
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:07,733
Burns way more calories. I
am at 22 flights today.

520
00:22:08,869 --> 00:22:11,570
How... stairs?

521
00:22:11,655 --> 00:22:12,988
The things you walk up and down.

522
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:14,323
Hi, Sue. Is she busy?

523
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:15,991
Oh, wow, never mind.

524
00:22:16,126 --> 00:22:19,328
- Oh, looky, looky.
- How could you do this?

525
00:22:19,413 --> 00:22:21,630
- What?
- I gave you my decision.

526
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:23,882
- Oh, suck it.
- Excuse me?

527
00:22:24,001 --> 00:22:26,468
Yeah, you heard me. I LBJ'd you, okay?

528
00:22:26,554 --> 00:22:28,086
I'm the LBJ queen

529
00:22:28,172 --> 00:22:30,172
and you are Sargent "Suck It" Shriver.

530
00:22:30,257 --> 00:22:32,558
And now you have to excuse me,

531
00:22:32,676 --> 00:22:34,676
because this pimple isn't
getting any smaller.

532
00:22:34,762 --> 00:22:36,895
Kind of like the national debt.
(CHUCKLES)

533
00:22:37,014 --> 00:22:38,897
Hey, Sue, is Dr. Abernethy here?

534
00:22:39,016 --> 00:22:41,066
- Yes.
- Okay, send him in, please.

535
00:22:41,185 --> 00:22:43,685
- Do you mind? Hi there, Doctor.
- Madam President.

536
00:22:43,821 --> 00:22:45,904
You know Senator James.
He's our new economy czar.

537
00:22:46,023 --> 00:22:48,156
- Oh, congratulations, sir.
- Thank you.

538
00:22:48,242 --> 00:22:49,691
Prosperity is just around the corner.

539
00:22:49,827 --> 00:22:52,244
- Oh, good. Good, good.
- How may I help you?

540
00:22:52,363 --> 00:22:55,530
Well, you can get rid of this
Skittle that's embedded in my face.

541
00:22:55,616 --> 00:22:58,700
She's also got a mole near her
Spanx line and it's hidden...

542
00:22:58,786 --> 00:23:02,087
Yeah, and this thing up my ass
has got to get removed, too.

543
00:23:02,206 --> 00:23:04,373
- How are you, Gary?
- Fine. You?

544
00:23:04,458 --> 00:23:08,210
- Oh, yeah. That is really deep.
- See?

545
00:23:08,295 --> 00:23:09,595
What have you been doing?

546
00:23:09,713 --> 00:23:12,130
- Just putting heat on it.
- Well, hot heat.

547
00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:13,632
That's the last thing
you want to be doing.

548
00:23:13,717 --> 00:23:15,601
- SELINA: Okay.
- It wasn't that hot.

549
00:23:15,719 --> 00:23:17,386
Small cortisone shot
should take care of it.

550
00:23:17,471 --> 00:23:19,554
- Uh, excuse me, ma'am.
- SELINA:<i> Oh, yeah, come in.</i>

551
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,608
We have to go over your opening
statement for the symposium.

552
00:23:22,726 --> 00:23:24,359
- Sure.
- KENT:<i> Also, ma'am,</i>

553
00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:26,528
catastrophic mudslides in Idaho.

554
00:23:26,614 --> 00:23:29,064
The governor is requesting a
federal state of emergency.

555
00:23:29,199 --> 00:23:31,783
- This should be cleared up in 24 hours.
- Okay.

556
00:23:31,902 --> 00:23:34,703
Just keep your skin free of
all irritants for a few days.

557
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:37,990
- Ma'am, he said no irritants.
- You're an irritant.

558
00:23:38,075 --> 00:23:39,741
How much did we lose Idaho by?

559
00:23:39,877 --> 00:23:42,244
- Shellacked.
- Uh, well over 212,000 votes.

560
00:23:42,329 --> 00:23:45,330
Then I declare a state
of go fuck yourself.

561
00:23:45,416 --> 00:23:48,834
I'm not spending money to scrape
mud off a bunch of dirt roads.

562
00:23:48,919 --> 00:23:51,303
- You're not from Idaho, are you, Doctor?
- No, ma'am.

563
00:23:51,422 --> 00:23:53,338
I don't mean this to sound insensitive,

564
00:23:53,424 --> 00:23:56,224
but don't you think that mudslides

565
00:23:56,310 --> 00:23:58,510
are the funniest kind
of natural disasters?

566
00:23:58,595 --> 00:24:01,346
I've always been partial to sinkholes.
You know, ah!

567
00:24:01,432 --> 00:24:04,066
- (LAUGHS) Those are hilarious.
- KENT:<i> Nature's trapdoor.</i>

568
00:24:04,151 --> 00:24:07,352
Ma'am, makeup is an irritant
and we really need that.

569
00:24:07,438 --> 00:24:10,689
- Makeup is not an irritant.
- Actually, ma'am, yes, it is.

570
00:24:10,774 --> 00:24:14,076
Let's avoid any makeup on the
facial area for at least 48 hours.

571
00:24:14,161 --> 00:24:16,445
- You're gonna feel a small...
- Oh, no, we're not gonna do this.

572
00:24:16,530 --> 00:24:18,914
- But thanks for coming.
- Yes, ma'am.

573
00:24:18,999 --> 00:24:20,832
I'll show you out.

574
00:24:20,951 --> 00:24:22,784
SELINA: <i>We need to take a peek at this.</i>

575
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,038
- KENT:<i> Thank you, Doc.</i>
- Cold compress, Gary.

576
00:24:26,123 --> 00:24:27,289
Whatever.

577
00:24:33,464 --> 00:24:34,164
I mean...

578
00:24:34,189 --> 00:24:36,288
Yeah, took the words
right out of my mouth.

579
00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:37,549
- Right?
- Yeah.

580
00:24:37,634 --> 00:24:40,218
- Ma'am?
- Hmm?

581
00:24:40,304 --> 00:24:43,939
Oh, Ben, were we able to get Dr.
Weisglass here today?

582
00:24:44,024 --> 00:24:44,741
Absolutely, ma'am.

583
00:24:44,766 --> 00:24:46,916
Okay. Oh, good, Catherine.
You're documenting this.

584
00:24:46,977 --> 00:24:51,229
Okay, welcome to the First
Annual Towards a New Promise...

585
00:24:51,315 --> 00:24:52,898
Mom, don't look into the camera.

586
00:24:52,983 --> 00:24:55,067
- Just pretend I'm not here.
- But you are here.

587
00:24:55,152 --> 00:24:57,536
Yeah, but that's the point of a
documentary film is that you're...

588
00:24:57,654 --> 00:24:59,988
Okay, I don't understand what this
project is at all. I don't get it.

589
00:25:00,124 --> 00:25:01,656
Catherine, why is that your hair?

590
00:25:01,792 --> 00:25:03,625
BEN: <i>They're ready for you, ma'am.</i>

591
00:25:05,245 --> 00:25:07,496
(PANTING)

592
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:12,834
(CHUCKLES)

593
00:25:14,638 --> 00:25:16,471
(GASPS) There he is.

594
00:25:16,557 --> 00:25:17,086
Dr. Weisglass.

595
00:25:17,111 --> 00:25:18,697
Pleasure to see you
again, Madam President.

596
00:25:18,759 --> 00:25:20,726
I'm so pleased you were able to make it.

597
00:25:20,844 --> 00:25:23,061
And I'm really excited to start
this conversation today.

598
00:25:23,180 --> 00:25:25,263
- Yes, ma'am.
- Sam O'Keefe, also Harvard.

599
00:25:25,349 --> 00:25:27,682
I think what we're gonna
talk about today is hard,

600
00:25:27,768 --> 00:25:29,651
but I think it's going to be
worth it, don't you agree?

601
00:25:29,737 --> 00:25:31,269
- I agree, yes. Thank you.
- Good, good.

602
00:25:31,355 --> 00:25:33,655
Madam President, Elisa Burke,

cochair of African-American
Studies at Howard.

00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:39,361
- Oh, Ms. Burke, is it?
- Yes.

605
00:25:39,446 --> 00:25:42,030
Great. Well, every
difficult conversation

606
00:25:42,116 --> 00:25:45,367
starts with a sentence.

607

What the fuck is going on here?
Why are they all white?

608
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:51,506
Looks like the NHL All-Star Weekend.

609
00:25:51,592 --> 00:25:53,375
Okay. Hello.

610
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:55,677
Franklin Washington,
Morehouse University.

611
00:25:55,763 --> 00:25:57,846
Now, Morehouse University

612

is historically an
African-American university.

613
00:26:00,467 --> 00:26:02,267
- Historically.
- Okay.

614
00:26:02,386 --> 00:26:04,186
We need to round up
some blacks and fast.

615
00:26:04,271 --> 00:26:07,639
- We need to round up...
- Don't say it over the radio, asshole.

616
00:26:07,724 --> 00:26:10,392
Richard! Oh, thank God.

617
00:26:10,477 --> 00:26:12,227
Go get Sue. We need her now.

618
00:26:12,362 --> 00:26:14,062
- Right now.
- Yeah.

619
00:26:14,198 --> 00:26:15,564
Folks, I look around here today

620
00:26:15,649 --> 00:26:18,233
and I see a rainbow of faces, you know?

621
00:26:18,368 --> 00:26:21,987
Faces from the savannahs of Africa

622
00:26:22,072 --> 00:26:25,490
to the cities and towns of England.

623
00:26:25,576 --> 00:26:28,076
Faces from... from Holland

624
00:26:28,212 --> 00:26:30,378
and even perhaps Norway.

- <i> (ALARM BLARING)</i>
- Fuck!

629

Everyone remain calm.
We're in total lockdown

630
00:26:47,181 --> 00:26:48,980

- We got her.

Whoa, whoa! I work here.

633
00:26:52,936 --> 00:26:55,437
- Huh? What happened?
- SUE: Ma'am?

634
00:26:55,522 --> 00:26:58,490
Mr. McLintock, why are there so few
people of color in the Meyer White House?

635
00:26:58,609 --> 00:27:00,442
Mike, does President Meyer
care about black people?

636
00:27:00,577 --> 00:27:02,994
Just moments ago, Bill Ericsson,

637
00:27:03,113 --> 00:27:05,113
former Director of White
House Communications,

638
00:27:05,249 --> 00:27:08,950
was arrested at his Kalorama home
and taken into federal custody.

639
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:12,420
Due to the seriousness of the crimes
and despite rumors to the contrary,

640
00:27:12,506 --> 00:27:14,589
<i>a pardon is not on the table.</i>

641
00:27:14,675 --> 00:27:17,542
Regrettably, he was also
responsible for the chaos

642
00:27:17,628 --> 00:27:19,377
that occurred at the
symposium on race today.

643
00:27:19,463 --> 00:27:21,847
- Thank you. That's all for now.

Once again, our top story tonight,

645
00:27:23,967 --> 00:27:26,101
disgraced presidential aide Bill
Ericsson goes into federal custody.

646

<i>This is a strong move by the president,</i>

<i>who was under fire for a
disastrous symposium on race</i>

648

any control over her administration.</i>

Wow, he looks puffy on TV.

00:27:38,732 --> 00:27:40,782
Well, prison will get him in shape.

Richard, have your people check us in.
We're going to the lounge.

Cliff?

Cliff?

Excuse me, are you in line?

00:28:24,778 --> 00:28:28,029
Does anybody know where the line ends?
