House - of.Cards.2013.S01E02.720p.bluray.x264 DEMAND

1
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,353

You know what I like about people?
They stack so well.
2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,232
Let me get
this for you.
3
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,237
Want the paper?
No.
4
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,600
This is too much.
It's not half enough.
5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,875
Thanks for opening
up for me.
6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,674
Anytime day or night.
You know that.
7
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,113
In a town where everyone is so
carefully reinventing themselves,
8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,433
what I like about Freddy is that
he doesn't even pretend to change.
9
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,513
Oh, I'm late.
10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,997
Every Tuesday I sit down with the
Speaker and the Majority Leader
11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,676
to discuss the week's agenda. Well,
discuss is probably the wrong word.
12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,594
They talk while I
sit quietly and imagine
13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,554
their lightly-salted
faces frying in a skillet.
14
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,351
Vasquez must be
shitting herself.
15
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,116
Shitting herself while
Walker is shitting himself
16
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,793
then shoveling his
shit on her shit.
17
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Bob, I'm planning
on eating.
18
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,476
Do we have a back-up
on the docket?
19
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,550
You're on that,
right, Frank?
20
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:39,676
I'm working
with my staff...
21
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,911
The Republicans are gonna
ram this up our ass.
22
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,070
I would if
I was them.
23
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Well, even if we
squeak it through the House,
24
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,000
watch them mangle
it in the Senate.
25
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,315
Or filibuster it.
26
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,669
Well, sure, if it
looks anything like this.
27
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,514
I don't know why Walker's trying
to tackle a charging elephant.
28
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,636
It's madness.
29
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,154
Congressman,
sorry to interrupt,
30
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,760
but I saw you
sitting over here and...
31
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,116
Remy. Gentlemen,
this is Remy Danton.
32
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,959
Remy, this is Speaker
Birch, and Congressman...
33
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,918
I'm well aware.
Mr. Speaker, Congressman.
34
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,391
Remy just made
partner at Glendon Hill.
35
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,315
Glendon Hill? Great team over there.
Congratulations.
36
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:08,356
Thank you.
37
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,033
When was the last time
they added a partner?
38
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:11,315
It's been a while.
39
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,635
Well, they know a winner
when they see one.
40
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,440
Remy was the best press
secretary I ever had.
41
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,715
Why'd you
let him go?
42
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:18,149
I didn't.
They stole him away.
43
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,594
What accounts
do you have?
44
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,110
SanCorp Industries
is my main one.
45
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,839
I run that account now.
46
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:26,355
Anyhow, I'll let you get back to it.
Sorry again to interrupt.
47
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,790
No problem. Very nice
to meet you both.
48
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Christ, these lobbyists keep
getting younger and younger.
49
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,797
He's probably making more
than all of us combined.
50
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,351
Gentlemen, this one's on me. I'm
gonna track down that check.
51
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,160
Glendon Hill fronts
SanCorp Industries.
52
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,873
SanCorp is deep
into natural gas.
53
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,639
I don't give a hoot
about natural gas.
54
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,680
But I have 67 deputy whips and
they all need cash to win races.
55
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,433
SanCorp helps me
purchase loyalty
56
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,199
and in return,
they expect mine.
57
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,511
It's degrading, I know. But
when the tit's that big,
58
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,114
everybody gets in line.
59
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:01,714
Tell them I'm
on top of it.
60
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,029
I need more than that.
61
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,271
You are well aware that
I do not drop the ball
62
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,874
on things
like this, Remy.
63
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Promises, Frank.
64
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,396
The Secretary of State,
65
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,073
Argentina, the offshore
drilling accounts...
66
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,276
Talk to me when I've
solved the problem.
67
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,999
Don't waste my time when
I'm working on solving it.
68
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,151
When there's billions on the
line, you can't not call me back
69
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:17,515
and I can't not show up.
70
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,915
Fine. Thank you
for your diligence.
71
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,719
Eight figures to you
and the D triple C.
72
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,757
Six million to build that
library of yours, in your name.
73
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:23,876
I know.
74
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,680
Don't make them throw money at
your challenger next cycle.
75
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,350
You've made your point.
76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,630
Have I?
77
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,996
I hope so.
78
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,231
Such a waste of talent.
79
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880
He chose money over power.
80
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,600
In this town, a mistake
nearly everyone makes.
81
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,115
Money is the McMansion
in Sarasota
82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,675
that starts falling
apart after 10 years.
83
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,313
Power is the old stone building
that stands for centuries.
84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,279
I cannot respect someone who
doesn't see the difference.
85
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,876
What am I looking at?
86
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,599
The Williams Register.
Williams...
87
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,273
College. September '78.
88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,993
And why am
I looking at it?
89
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:05,514
The editorial.
90
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,916
Not that interesting.
91
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,829
Michael Kern went to Williams.
Check out the masthead.
92
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,677
And then there's this.
93
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,590
It's thin.
94
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,797
The guy's a unicorn.
He pisses rainbows.
95
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,111
You think we can get traction with this?
I think you could.
96
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,554
Linda Vasquez
is on the phone.
97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,037
I'm surprised it
took her this long.
98
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,156
It's only six
past 9:00.
99
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,118
Which means she read the
Herald three hours ago
100
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,634
and spent the past
two and a half
101
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,160
getting reamed
by the President.
102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,469
Tell her I'm on my way.
103
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,120
You were supposed to keep Donald in line.
You assured me...
104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920
Twenty-five years he's been
pushing this particular agenda.
105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,959
We got between the mother bear and her cub.
It's a setback, that's all.
106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,599
On our first day
in office.
107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,399
Linda, I've worked
with four presidents.
108
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,711
Setbacks are a dime a dozen
with a bill of this size.
109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,870
Frank, if you can't
control this...
110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,196
I don't take well to being
micromanaged, Linda.
111
00:05:58,280 --> 00:06:01,159
You want to do my job for
me and run the White House?
112
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,118
Good luck. I won't
stand in your way.
113
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,637
Okay, Frank. Fine.
This is yours now.
114
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,480
If this thing can't make it to the
floor in the first hundred days,
115
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,074
then I'll let you
explain to the President
116
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,754
why he lied to
the American people.
117
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,160
I'm gonna get
back to work.
118
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,276
Please do.
119
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,275
We really should be doing this on
a Friday instead of a Wednesday.
120
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,750
Because if we do it on a Friday,
people have the weekend.
121
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:42,194
Fine, we'll
do it on Friday.
122
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:43,839
Is all
the paperwork ready?
123
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,391
Some of the more senior people are trickier.
There's severance and...
124
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,080
But we shouldn't run into
any legal issues. No, no.
125
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,234
We use at-will employment
contracts across the board.
126
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,280
We'll get started
first thing Friday.
127
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,192
I want all of the exit
interviews done by lunch.
128
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:04,274
Claire, I just can't help but
think that this is a mistake.
129
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,750
We've discussed this already, Evelyn.
I know, I know.
130
00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:10,311
But I just have to say it
for the sake of my conscience.
131
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,279
I think that you
are dismantling
132
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,070
what we have built over
the past 10 years and I...
133
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,475
And I think the way
you're handling this is...
134
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,310
Is cruel.
135
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,510
It's not easy, Evelyn.
136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,920
But it's necessary.
137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,357
You have always asked me
to be honest with you.
138
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,113
That's how we
work together.
139
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,431
I disagree with
something, I say it.
140
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,274
Well, I disagree 100%.
141
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,560
Please, Claire,
don't do this.
142
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,677
I respect your
opinion, Evelyn.
143
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,195
And I appreciate you
sharing it with me.
144
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,676
But I'm not going
to change my mind.
145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Friday, then.
146
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,192
If that's what you want.
147
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,479
This is major reform.
A complete overhaul.
148
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,313
That would
usually take months.
149
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,278
Well, we only have
days, not months.
150
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,953
But think about the process.
We can't just...
151
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,953
When I asked my
colleagues, your bosses,
152
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,953
who are the smartest
minds in education,
153
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,919
out of hundreds,
we arrived at you.
154
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,719
The six of you
in this room.
155
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,632
Now I realize it
is a difficult task.
156
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,792
But we have the opportunity
to make history here.
157
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,793
And I want all of us
to make it together.
158
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,871
So, good luck.
We're counting on you.
159
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,154
Page one.
160
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,995
These bullet points reflect the key
planks at the center of our bill.
161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,517
Get comfy. This is your home until
we have a presentable first draft.
162
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,912
Donald, what a morning.
163
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,878
I have no idea
how they got this.
164
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,600
I specifically told my staff
to destroy everything.
165
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,313
I can't imagine... It doesn't
matter how it happened.
166
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,437
We can't make it un-happen.
So now we have to adapt.
167
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,432
Don't they realize that
this is a first draft?
168
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,637
All we have here really
is a perception problem.
169
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,040
We don't get
a second chance
170
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:13,713
at a first impression,
Donald. You know that.
171
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,231
Now, look,
I'm on your side.
172
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,073
But Linda is furious.
173
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,754
What's she saying?
174
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,400
They want
to point fingers.
175
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,676
At me?
176
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,836
I told her we
cannot do that.
177
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,389
I mean, you are
vital to this process.
178
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,915
I'm up to here
with them, Donald.
179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,913
For lying, for turning
their back on you.
180
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,469
You know, I'm of a mind
to say "screw it."
181
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:38,634
I'll fall on this grenade
myself just to piss them off.
182
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,314
Get me John King at CNN.
183
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,232
Wait, Frank. This
is not your fault.
184
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,198
No, we have to protect
your reputation.
185
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,237
But you're the man that needs to
get the bill through the House.
186
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,516
I will. Hang on. I will assign
it to one of my deputies
187
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,030
and quietly manage it. And I'll
help guide you through the process.
188
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,554
I am not comfortable with this.
189
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:54,114
Well, then, what do
you suggest we do?
190
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,918
What a martyr craves more than
anything is a sword to fall on.
191
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,550
So, you sharpen the blade, hold
it at just the right angle,
192
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,394
and then, three,
two, one...
193
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,630
It should be me.
194
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,710
It was my bill.
195
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:10,916
No, impossible.
196
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,994
Donald, education has
been your life's work.
197
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,277
The truth is my heart
is not in this fight.
198
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,351
You know me. I'm not a wheeler-dealer.
I can put my mind to policy,
199
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,477
but I'm no good at
this brand of politics.
200
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:30,155
Well, if not you,
then who?
201
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,951
It should be you, Frank.
202
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,271
You're formidable.
People respect you.
203
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,956
They will follow your lead. Let
me be on the sidelines for this.
204
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,714
Well, I could only consider
that as an option if I knew
205
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,235
that I could still
come to you for counsel.
206
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,073
Of course.
207
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,389
Whatever you need.
208
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,071
Part of me is glad
this got leaked.
209
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,156
Well, it would've been
better if it hadn't
210
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,233
but at least people
know where I stand.
211
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,190
Thank you, Donald.
212
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,999
Happy to do it, Frank.
213
00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:24,791
He has no idea we got
six kids in the next room
214
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,111
already working on
a new draft. Stamper!
215
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,318
But why dampen his mood by telling him?
We just gave him a great gift.
216
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,517
The chance to
fulfill his destiny.
217
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,159
Write up
a statement for Blythe.
218
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,914
Stepping aside, fresh ideas,
et cetera, et cetera.
219
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,117
Make it dignified.
He's a good man.
220
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,192
And bring me that
Williams editorial.
221
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,680
After careful thought and
discussion with my staff,
222
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,231
I am relinquishing my management
of the Education Reform Act.
223
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040
I hope to remain a part of the
process, but I won't be working...
224
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,316
Why did
you leak the draft?
225
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,869
I'm not exactly sure
how it got leaked
226
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,440
but it does represent...
227
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,080
It came from your
office though, correct?
228
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,270
We wrote it...
229
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,510
Who will be
managing the bill now?
230
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,398
Frank Underwood.
Was that your choice?
231
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:08,709
Or did the administration...
232
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,794
I feel very confident placing the
bill in Frank's capable hands.
233
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,514
Ms. Barnes.
234
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,080
How very
Deep Throat of you.
235
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,200
Well, I can't help you dispatch a president.
How about a senator?
236
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,237
The editorial on
the Camp David Accords.
237
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,359
"It is the opinion
of this newspaper
238
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,233
"that President
Carter demand Israel
239
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,993
"withdraw all
its citizens from
240
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,759
"the Gaza Strip
and West Bank..."
241
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,594
"Which it has illegally
occupied since 1967."
242
00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:12,194
"Illegally occupied."
243
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,158
That's quite an incendiary
quote, don't you think?
244
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,118
For an administration
that says
245
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,118
the Middle East is its top
foreign policy priority.
246
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,078
Michael Kern?
247
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,753
Did he personally
write the editorial?
248
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,672
He was the editor.
249
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,353
But did he
write it himself?
250
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,318
Then there's no story.
251
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,675
I'm saying it's
a question worth asking.
252
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,679
And if he denies
involvement?
253
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,274
He will. Let him.
254
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,115
This is a man trying to be
confirmed as Secretary of State.
255
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,759
Everything is a story.
256
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,439
There's no direct link.
257
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,796
I can't get this
past Hammerschmidt.
258
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,351
Remember this moment
when you resisted me.
259
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,559
When you said the words,
"Then there is no story."
260
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,711
Get a good night's
sleep, Ms. Barnes.
261
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,439
You have a big
day tomorrow.
262
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,913
Francis?
263
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,200
What is this?
264
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,316
What does
it look like?
265
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,113
But the basement is mine.
266
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:42,395
I know.
267
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,516
It's not for me.
268
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:44,676
So who's it for?
269
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:45,989
For you.
270
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,799
There's a gym
in the Capitol.
271
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,200
Which you never use.
272
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,749
Because I'm a tad
busy running the country.
273
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,752
But not at home.
So now you have no excuse.
274
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:54,830
I want it out.
275
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:55,950
Give it a try first.
276
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,834
Is this your subtle way of
saying that I'm out of shape?
277
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,960
No. It's my way of suggesting
you could be in better shape.
278
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,839
That sounds both passive-aggressive
and condescending.
279
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,434
Just plain
aggressive and true.
280
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,755
Don't wait up for me.
281
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,030
Are you going running now?
282
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,320
Yes, because I couldn't this morning.
I had an early meeting.
283
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,869
Use the monstrosity.
It's freezing out.
284
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,519
You break it in.
285
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,349
It looks positively
medieval, doesn't it?
286
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,238
Trying to turn
my only sanctuary
287
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,198
into a fitness dungeon.
I won't have it.
288
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,635
It's a stretch.
289
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,837
We're not misleading anyone.
He was the editor.
290
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,639
Did you call for comment?
I tried three times.
291
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,712
The press secretary said he'd
get back to me, he didn't.
292
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:38,836
What about research?
293
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,718
You couldn't find anything
to echo the editorial?
294
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,473
No quotes?
No op-ed pieces?
295
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,313
Don't you think if something
like that existed
296
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,233
someone would have
printed it by now?
297
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,720
Nobody else
has this, Lucas.
298
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,876
I don't think
there's a story here.
299
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,070
I'm not saying
there's a story.
300
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,914
All I'm saying is that there's a
question that needs to be answered.
301
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,756
This is a nominee
for Secretary of State.
302
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,116
We have an editorial
on Palestine and Israel.
303
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,680
Which he didn't write.
304
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,200
Which we don't
know he didn't write.
305
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:03,830
Exactly.
306
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,070
We don't have
to print it.
307
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,959
I could just scan the thing, stick
it on a site and tweet the link.
308
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,759
But if I did that,
some other paper might...
309
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,990
Whoa, whoa.
310
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,470
Don't be a bitch.
311
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,870
I'll talk to Tom.
312
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,674
That's all I was asking.
313
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,320
We simply can't
afford to allow...
314
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,596
I got a guy,
he's almost perfect.
315
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,117
He's a libertarian drug fiend
marinating in a mobile home.
316
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,590
I didn't agree with President
Reagan on many things.
317
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,957
But there was some merit to the
notion of trickle-down economics.
318
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,831
And I feel there is much merit to
the idea of trickle-down diplomacy.
319
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,194
Those are my lines. Vasquez
must have given them to him.
320
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,033
...solve the stalemate
between Israel and Palestine,
321
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,034
that success will trickle down to a
hundred other diplomatic dilemmas
322
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,157
between Muslims,
Jews, Christians...
323
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,754
I'm glad you brought
up Israel and Palestine,
324
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,439
because just before
we came on the air,
325
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,989
I received an advance copy of
an article that's going to be
326
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,390
in tomorrow's Washington Herald.
It's front page.
327
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,039
And it was
written by Zoe Barnes.
328
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,157
And in it she quotes
an editorial that ran
329
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,272
in the Williams
College Register
330
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,398
when you were editor,
back in September 1978,
331
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,994
which called
the Israeli presence
332
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,753
in the Gaza Strip
and West Bank, quote,
333
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,991
"An illegal occupation."
334
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,151
May I see that?
Sure.
335
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,072
Did you write those words,
"Illegal occupation"?
336
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:14,635
No.
337
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,750
I have no memory
of this.
338
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,910
But you were
the editor of the paper.
339
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,036
Yes.
340
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:19,998
So it couldn't have gone out
without your approval.
341
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,039
No, of course not.
But my staff...
342
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,636
Somebody else usually wrote the...
And then we'd vote...
343
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,313
Well, did you
vote for it?
344
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,875
Honestly, George, I can't remember.
It was 35 years ago...
345
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,555
So you're not sure whether or
not you supported these words.
346
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,233
I can tell you without
a shadow of a doubt,
347
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,676
I did not write
these words.
348
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,434
But were they in line with
your thinking at the time?
349
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,071
This is ludicrous.
It's ludicrous.
350
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,356
That's all we need,
him laughing.
351
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,716
Nancy, get me
Dennis Mendel at the ADL.
352
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,634
The Middle East is a vital
American interest. Yes.
353
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,757
What you think about
the Middle East is relevant.
354
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,513
You can look at
my voting record.
355
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,876
Every single vote has been
in defense of Israel.
356
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,679
So when did your
views change?
357
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,992
What I'm saying to you is...
What's important now, George,
358
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,551
is how I have voted while I have
represented the great state of Colorado.
359
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:07,630
I understand
that's your position.
360
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,439
But a lot of other people are
going to look at it and think
361
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,954
what you thought then
is relevant as well.
362
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,191
Let me ask you this, have you ever
changed our views since college?
363
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,074
Certainly. But I'm not the
nominee for Secretary of State.
364
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,595
Even if I did have
this viewpoint...
365
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,995
It's golden.
366
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,559
It's a bull's-eye.
367
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,757
What were you
saying when you came in?
368
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,160
So...
369
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,596
I found a guy who was on the college
editorial staff when Kern was there.
370
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,434
This burn-out still pumping
mimeograph manifestos
371
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,954
out of a trailer park
in the Berkshires.
372
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,992
But you're not planning
on talking to him. Uh-uh.
373
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,550
Peter Russo.
374
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,514
Good.
375
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,632
Sounds like
a perfect match.
376
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,794
Dennis.
377
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,319
Any chance you're
watching Stephanopoulos?
378
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,558
You look sexy when
you're improving
379
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,597
the lives of hardworking
Pennsylvanians.
380
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,800
Is it the improving lives, or is
it these fetching sweat pants?
381
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,273
Why don't you move that
computer out of the way,
382
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,119
let me see
what that looks like?
383
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,036
Yeah, it's better
with the laptop.
384
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:16,316
Fuck off.
385
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:18,675
You're not paying
enough attention to me.
386
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,872
I pay attention to you
all day at the office.
387
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Hey, you know, I don't think I've ever
seen you brush your teeth before.
388
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,880
Sure you have.
No, I don't think so.
389
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,314
I mean, I know
that you do brush.
390
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,232
But I don't think I've ever
actually witnessed it before.
391
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,716
Well, here it is
in all its glory.
392
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,830
Is that my toothbrush?
393
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,070
I don't know, is it?
394
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,116
Yes, it is.
395
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,998
You left it here.
Peter, gross.
396
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,040
Come on. We've exchanged
plenty of fluids by now.
397
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,469
No, no, no, no.
398
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,677
No. Toothpaste!
It's not toothpaste.
399
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,910
I'm rabid!
400
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,275
No!
401
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:56,760
Go get it.
402
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,478
I have to take this.
403
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:01,760
This is Russo.
404
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,593
Yeah. Right now,
it's 12:53.
405
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,913
Okay, okay, okay.
406
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:25,910
I have to go.
407
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,476
Is everything okay?
408
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,916
It's work stuff.
409
00:20:29,120 --> 00:20:30,190
What kind of work stuff?
410
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,839
Congressman Wilensky.
411
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,833
He wants to go over the tax
incentive stuff we sent him.
412
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,952
Peter, it's 1:00
in the morning.
413
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:39,592
Hey, Peter!
414
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,073
I have meetings tomorrow.
I have a committee hearing...
415
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,550
Congress will
survive without you.
416
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,112
Address. Directions. There's
an e-ticket in your name.
417
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,431
Your flight leaves at 6:30. You
should head to the airport.
418
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,556
This is coming
from Frank?
419
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,836
No. This is coming
from no one.
420
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,957
You have the flu and
you're calling in sick.
421
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,157
What's that?
What's what?
422
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,119
Is that a hickey?
423
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:17,720
Are you whoring
around again?
424
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,075
No. I have a girlfriend.
425
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,159
You mean your
little office romance.
426
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,275
What do you
know about that?
427
00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,716
When it comes to your life,
Peter, and what I know about it,
428
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,110
you should assume that there's
no such thing as a secret.
429
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,319
Stay in touch.
430
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,960
You call me on my cell,
never at the office.
431
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,920
Good luck.
432
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,153
Knock 'em dead, tiger.
433
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,429
How are we?
434
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,197
Over-tired, under-caffeinated,
but we're making progress.
435
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Less than a week to go.
436
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,230
Yeah, we'll do our best.
437
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,356
You what?
438
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,516
We'll get it done.
439
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:14,191
And somebody open a window.
It's rancid in here.
440
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,193
That is what happens when six people
don't shower for half a week.
441
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,439
Anything you need,
other than deodorant?
442
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,273
Yeah, this performance
standards thing.
443
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,119
The teachers unions are gonna...
Leave it in.
444
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,839
But we could dilute it a bit...
I'll handle the unions.
445
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,718
What else, anything?
Conjugal visits?
446
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,198
I'll get back to work.
447
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,393
Nancy, what do
I have next?
448
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,191
Constituent calls from 2:10 to
2:35, fundraising until 3:50,
449
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,078
deputy caucus at 4:00.
The call list?
450
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,078
It's on your desk. My
briefing for the caucus?
451
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,150
Next to the call list.
452
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,230
Have you been in
the conference room?
453
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:47,754
Have it steam-cleaned
over the weekend.
454
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,877
In the meantime, get those poor
kids some Febreze or something.
455
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,314
It's like a petting zoo.
456
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,673
You gotta see this.
457
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,913
But were they in line with
your thinking at the time?
458
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,232
We do not consider
the issue of
459
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,357
Israel and Palestine
a laughing matter.
460
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,957
And he calls Israel "illegal"? Well,
he's an anti-Semite and he is wrong.
461
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,592
We would have grave, grave concerns
about appointing such a man
462
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,433
our next Secretary of State.
463
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,912
It's too easy.
464
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,275
Roy. Hi, my name is Peter Russo.
Congressman Russo.
465
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:30,953
I'd like to just
speak to you for just...
466
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,670
Sir? Either you're lying,
and you can fuck off,
467
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,071
or you're telling the truth, and
you can absolutely fuck off.
468
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,710
I saw your web site.
I'm a fan.
469
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,680
And I brought
you something.
470
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,633
Babe, put some clothes on.
471
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:03,915
What?
472
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,798
We got a guest.
So?
473
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,870
Hey.
474
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,030
Put some clothes on.
475
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,194
Ice or no ice?
476
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:13,675
No ice.
477
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,911
Good, 'cause we
don't have any.
478
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,000
Fuck. Echo! I told
you to put the...
479
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:26,554
It's okay.
480
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,838
I'll keep your secret
if you keep mine.
481
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,879
A congressman,
you say?
482
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,077
Right now, I'm just
a drinking companion.
483
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,800
Well all right, companion,
have yourself a drink.
484
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:53,595
Come on in.
485
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:12,799
$10,000.
486
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,799
What will
that get me?
487
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,920
I mean, I'm kinky,
but I don't know
488
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,474
if I'm the girl
you're looking for.
489
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,959
You're definitely the girl
that I'm looking for.
490
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,793
Excuse me.
491
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,076
All I want for that
money is your silence.
492
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,790
My what?
493
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:33,870
The guy you were
with the other night,
494
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,317
the one who was arrested.
Do you know who he was?
495
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,674
You mean
the congressman?
496
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,035
There was
no congressman.
497
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,789
There was no arrest.
None of that exists.
498
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,396
All that exists is the money sitting
right there in front of you.
499
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,833
Do you understand?
500
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,150
Yeah.
501
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,510
Good.
502
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,674
Open your mouth.
503
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:20,840
Last little bit's for me.
504
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,953
You're scolding me.
505
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,276
Am I?
506
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,752
You are. Silently.
507
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,634
Is it the rowing machine?
508
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,870
You tell me.
509
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,150
It's the rowing machine.
510
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,676
You haven't used it.
511
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,114
How do you know
I haven't?
512
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,429
Francis.
513
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,796
You know I don't
like to be managed.
514
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,792
I'm not trying
to manage you.
515
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,112
I just don't want to
outlive you by 25 years.
516
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,311
I must walk three miles a
day around that Capitol.
517
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,073
I'm constantly
on my feet.
518
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,159
And do you know how many
calories the brain burns?
519
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,560
I'm not worried
about your brain.
520
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,240
It's your heart
we're talking about.
521
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,720
Use the machine.
522
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,073
She's right. I should take
better care of myself.
523
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,233
But it's the principle.
524
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,312
I won't be a slave
to anybody or anything
525
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,432
you can order
with a toll-free number.
526
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,951
We share the wealth
in this republic.
527
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,955
I thought the whole
editorial team pitched in.
528
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,757
Sometimes.
Not that time, though.
529
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,480
But he must've
written some of it.
530
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,119
No, that was all me.
531
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,000
What if people
thought he wrote it.
532
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,117
Fuck that,
he's a fraud.
533
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,194
No, he's worse than a fraud,
he's a fucking farce.
534
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,999
And I'll tell you
something.
535
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,675
He used to be even more
of a maniac than I am.
536
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,271
Chemicals?
No, politics.
537
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,953
We had some
nights, man.
538
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,397
Long conversations.
Dangerous fucking notions.
539
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,880
Like what?
You name it.
540
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,397
OPEC, Pinochet, the
fucking Food Stamp Act,
541
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,314
then the motherland
sang her mating call.
542
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,915
♪ Oh, say can you... ♪
543
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,878
Next thing, he's
cramming for the bar
544
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,878
at Bryn Mawr and
snapping on a flag pin.
545
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,434
Does Bryn Mawr
have a law school?
546
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,230
My point is, he started goose-stepping
in the marionette parade.
547
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,915
Left, right, red, blue,
Democrat, Republican.
548
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,436
They're all dangling
from the same strings.
549
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,031
Take a sledge hammer to the whole
fucking Punch and Judy show,
550
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,516
that's what's required.
551
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,875
Thought you
were a patriot.
552
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,440
Fuck yeah,
one of the few.
553
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,040
So what's wrong
with public service?
554
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,396
Public service?
Come on, man.
555
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,676
You gotta get a grip
on who your masters are.
556
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,040
The IMF, the World Bank, the
Rockefeller Trilateral Commission.
557
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,272
You bank roll their
fucking death squads.
558
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,957
It's called FEMA, it's called
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
559
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,599
NATO, border control.
560
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,558
You think Katrina
was incompetence?
561
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,592
That was highly
orchestrated negligence.
562
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,151
Look at Waco, Amnesty
International, the ACLU.
563
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,596
Smoke screens, all of them.
Blood on their hands.
564
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,199
Well, exactly.
565
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,913
You want me to
lie to the people.
566
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,799
I want you to spare the
people another hypocrite.
567
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,674
What's in it for you?
568
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,994
Poetic justice.
569
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,957
Come on,
you're one of them.
570
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,709
Can a corporate sell-out
roll a joint like this?
571
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,551
If I wanted to do
this thing,
572
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,915
how might I go
about that, precisely?
573
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,759
How did it go?
574
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,798
There were a few tears here
and there and some anger,
575
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,515
but nothing unexpected.
576
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,714
I'm going to need you to
leave us today too, Evelyn.
577
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,274
I'm sorry.
578
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,030
I just can't have any doubt
about the direction I'm taking.
579
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,239
You just had me fire 18 people.
I know.
580
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,393
I sat across from
them in this room,
581
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,036
and I had to tell each
and every one... I know.
582
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,070
I am 59 years old.
Nobody hires anybody my age.
583
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,311
I will write you any kind
of recommendation...
584
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,631
To do what?
Bag groceries?
585
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,120
Come on, what am I supposed
to tell my daughter?
586
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,032
I'm sorry,
Evelyn, I truly...
587
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,396
No, you're not.
You don't give a fuck.
588
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,235
Eighteen people, Claire.
589
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,274
Nineteen if
you count me.
590
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,917
I have to...
591
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,951
I have to call
my daughter.
592
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,910
I know today has been tough.
593
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,317
A lot of your
colleagues have left,
594
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,877
and I owe you
an explanation.
595
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,151
Many of those who
left us today helped
596
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,431
build the CWI
from the ground up,
597
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:22,914
and I'm grateful to them.
598
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,029
But it is time
for us to evolve,
599
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,997
and to accomplish this,
we had to make hard choices
600
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,558
and bring in new people.
601
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,233
That's what today was about.
602
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,272
You have any questions,
my door is always open.
603
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,272
I'm all good for
National and Metro.
604
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,357
We've got space for
Political if we need it.
605
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,557
Janine? Anything new
on Michael Kern?
606
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,394
The White House
is dodging.
607
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,958
You can't get
anyone on record?
608
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,920
Not just me. They're shutting all
of us down in the briefings.
609
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,674
No one is giving an inch,
even on background.
610
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:04,319
In the meantime, I'm
working on a feature about
611
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,357
the administration's
foreign policy agenda,
612
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,473
how it shifted from the start of the
campaign, increased DOD spending...
613
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,596
We see you, Zoe.
614
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,991
I can link Kern directly
to the Williams editorial.
615
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,396
What? I've got a guy
named Roy Kapeniak,
616
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,392
who was on the editorial
staff when Kern was there.
617
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,199
Hey, Twitter-twat. WTF?
618
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:21,999
Wait, wait, wait.
Roy what?
619
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,077
Kapeniak.
A classmate of Kern's.
620
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,074
I have him on record saying Kern
wrote every word of the editorial.
621
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,391
Let's move this into
my office. Zoe, Lucas.
622
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:38,790
Janine!
623
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,197
Let me once and for all
say this definitively.
624
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,556
I didn't author
that editorial.
625
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,872
Not a single sentence,
word, comma or period.
626
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,078
If memory serves me, it was
Mr. Kapeniak who wrote it.
627
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,437
Why on earth he's trying to
claim that I did is beyond me.
628
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,031
Let me further say that I am a strong
supporter of the state of Israel.
629
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,358
As the most stable country in the
region and our strongest ally...
630
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,358
It's Frank Underwood
for Cathy.
631
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,400
...in any peace process.
632
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,680
Because without the stability of
Israel, there can be no Palestine.
633
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,472
CNN, right now.
634
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,391
"Without Israel there
can be no Palestine"?
635
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:21,914
I've got it on.
636
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,799
I would remind Senator Kern
that there was a Palestine
637
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,553
long before
there was an Israel.
638
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,678
His comments are not only
ignorant, they are racist.
639
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,359
Get ready, Cathy. Things are
about to move very quickly.
640
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:36,757
Okay, I'm ready.
641
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,349
Hey. I...
642
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:40,715
Peter.
643
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,200
Not now.
644
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,714
Stop! Hey, hey,
where have you been?
645
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,238
God, you're fucking high.
No, I...
646
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,959
Yes, you are,
look at your eyes.
647
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,396
Please, just lay off.
648
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,555
You promised me
it wouldn't be like this.
649
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,910
Cancel whatever I have
for the rest of the day.
650
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:37,915
Kern is out.
651
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:40,874
They're tossing him?
652
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,917
Technically, he'll
withdraw himself, but yes.
653
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,679
Can I say, "A source close
to the White House"?
654
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,195
No. You let this story
play out on its own time.
655
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,760
They'll announce
in the morning.
656
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,878
I'm sorry, if not that, what
story are we talking about?
657
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,192
Catherine Durant.
As soon as Kern withdraws,
658
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,511
you say she'll
be the replacement.
659
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,670
Is that true?
660
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:00,916
It will be after
you write it.
661
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,832
Roy Kapeniak was you.
662
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,152
You might very well think that.
I couldn't possibly comment.
663
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:10,072
You found him.
You had him call me...
664
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,994
Kapeniak and Kern were
appetizers, Ms. Barnes.
665
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,276
Catherine Durant
is the meal.
666
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,832
Say that name. "Catherine
Durant." Say it over and over.
667
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,515
Tomorrow afternoon,
write it down.
668
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,115
Then watch that name
come out of the mouth
669
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,795
of the President of
the United States.
670
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,951
This is where
we get to create.
671
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:44,997
Don't miss your train, Ms. Barnes.
It's the last one tonight.
672
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,197
Zoe Barnes of the Washington
Herald now reporting,
673
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:51,839
quoting a source
close to the President,
674
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,553
as saying that
Senator Catherine Durant
675
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,474
will likely be the new nominee
for Secretary of State
676
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,155
after Michael Kern's
withdrawal earlier this week.
677
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,436
The White House has remained
silent on whether the President
678
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,239
will tap Durant
for the nomination,
679
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,312
but a national
Zogby poll shows
680
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,397
wide support for
Durant across party lines.
681
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,314
...has served 10 years on the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
682
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,915
made numerous diplomatic
missions to South America...
683
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,673
...place our faith
in her, knowing that
684
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,473
we have a responsible,
experienced,
685
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,870
brilliant woman representing
our interests abroad.
686
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,038
...middle of the road, team
player, strong on defense.
687
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:23,839
And if there's
a woman that can work
688
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,719
with the Joint Chiefs,
she's the one.
689
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,069
Durant is the way to go,
it's a no-brainer.
690
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,795
The President should stop this
pageant and simply make the call.
691
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,231
Why are we still talking about if
they're going to nominate Durant?
692
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,198
Why don't they
just do it already
693
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,238
so we can all stop
talking about ifs
694
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,879
and start talking
about when and what
695
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,390
and how Durant's going
to shape our foreign policy.
696
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:10,232
So, history?
697
00:39:12,720 --> 00:39:13,756
History.
698
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,317
I'm very impressed, Frank.
699
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,631
Good. With your go-ahead,
I'll start the mark-up.
700
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,234
Have Birch and
Rasmussen seen this?
701
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,391
Not yet, I wanted you to be
the first to have a look.
702
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,153
I'll schedule a time for you
to fill in the President.
703
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:31,312
Oh, no, no, no. That is your turf, Linda.
You should do that.
704
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,274
Thank you, Frank. My pleasure.
Thank you.
705
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,832
I so apologize
for everything...
706
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,752
No, no, no.
That's not necessary.
707
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,079
Now for
the real meeting.
708
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,514
So, what is happening
with Michael Kern?
709
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:48,313
It's a total nightmare.
710
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,033
Do you know who you're
going to tap next?
711
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,756
Frank, we still need
you in the House...
712
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,194
No, no, no.
I wouldn't dream of it.
713
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:55,350
We've got
our education bill.
714
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,193
I was just curious.
715
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,192
Somehow, the rumor
is flying around that
716
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,198
we're going to
nominate Catherine Durant.
717
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,600
I'm sure you've noticed.
718
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,034
Is the rumor true?
719
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,520
Well, we weren't
considering her at first,
720
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,592
but the President asked
me to have her vetted,
721
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:09,792
in case we
want to go that route.
722
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,109
Interesting.
723
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,350
What do you think?
724
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,719
Well, she wouldn't
be my first choice...
725
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,154
Who would be
your first choice?
726
00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:21,675
She campaigned hard against
us in the primaries.
727
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:22,989
That's my reservation.
728
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,197
But you'd show yourself
above party politics,
729
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,397
and I know she'd work
all the harder for it.
730
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,040
Decent experience.
Respect across the aisle...
731
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,112
So you think we can
seriously consider her?
732
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,795
It's not the worst idea
in the world.
733
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,831
Where are you
getting this shit?
734
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,593
What?
Your stories.
735
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,912
I was just...
Who are you fucking?
736
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:05,992
Nobody.
Oh, come on.
737
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,879
You're a Metro scrub,
and now look at you.
738
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,039
You'd have to be fucking
somebody important.
739
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,918
I'm just doing my job,
Janine. Excuse me.
740
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,631
All right.
One sec. Okay.
741
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,990
Is this your
first remote?
742
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,190
Yeah, it's my first time.
743
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,953
Right into the camera.
744
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,311
Don't shift in your seat,
and there's no reason
745
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,120
to speak above a conversational
volume, the mic will pick you up.
746
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,190
You all ready?
Yeah.
747
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,033
All right,
don't forget to breathe.
748
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,280
Five, four, three...
749
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,438
We'd like to welcome Zoe Barnes
from the Washington Herald.
750
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,351
Zoe, thank you
for joining us.
751
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,554
I am very glad to be here.
Thank you for having me.
752
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,791
You broke the education
bill, the Kern editorial
753
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,990
and now Durant.
754
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,959
I'm just thrilled to be
reporting news that matters.
755
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,554
And it's truly
been a team effort.
756
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,274
Everyone at
the Herald pitched in.
757
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:21,072
But yes,
a lot of firsts.
758
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,716
First national story,
first...
759
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,314
Thank you.
760
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:38,954
Calling it a night.
761
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,514
See you tomorrow, sir.
762
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:50,720
But yes,
a lot of firsts.
763
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,591
First national story,
first front page by-line,
764
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,276
first TV interview...
765
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,955
I would wave to my mom, but the camera
man said not to shift in my seat.
766
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,032
What a roller coaster.
767
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,593
It really is too bad.
Kern is a good man.
768
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:14,634
And now Catherine Durant.
769
00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:17,633
Yes. Right place,
right time, I suppose.
770
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,280
We like her,
don't we?
771
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,675
Very much.
772
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,956
The question is does she like
SanCorp as much as we like her?
773
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,390
I would say that
that is a very good bet.
774
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,199
But then again,
I'm not a betting man.
775
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,873
No, you always
like a sure thing.
776
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,957
When it avails itself.
Goodnight, Remy.
777
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,918
Goodnight, Frank.
See you around.
778
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,151
Hopefully less
and less now.
779
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,072
Oh, no, I charged the wrong thing.
What did you have again?
780
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,719
Medium decaf latte.
781
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,991
Med, latt, dec...
782
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,800
I don't know how to
get it to go back.
783
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,479
This one
and this one.
784
00:43:58,880 --> 00:43:59,870
This one?
785
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,036
No. Let me do it.
786
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,114
I'll have to ask you
to stay back, Congressman.
787
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,236
What's going on?
788
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:19,879
Some guy was trying
to get into the building.
789
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,919
When we said no, he started
tearing his clothes off.
790
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,553
Nobody can hear you.
Nobody cares about you.
791
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:50,800
Nothing will
come of this.
792
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:57,951
Why don't you let these nice
gentlemen take you home?
793
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,029
Cover him up.
It's cold out here.
794
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,914
You heard the congressman.
Cover him up.
795
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,114
Francis?
