1
00:00:00,717 --> 00:00:02,685
Previously on "Designated Survivor"...
2
00:00:02,688 --> 00:00:05,708
- I am so glad to have you back.
- I'm not coming back.
3
00:00:05,711 --> 00:00:07,929
Well, I'll try and do the
job as well as you did.
4
00:00:07,931 --> 00:00:10,298
Do better.
5
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:12,133
Tell me everything you
know about that woman.
6
00:00:12,135 --> 00:00:14,069
We'll find her, and we'll make her pay.
7
00:00:14,071 --> 00:00:16,537
It's not gonna bring my son back.
8
00:00:16,539 --> 00:00:19,307
Claudine Poyet.
9
00:00:19,309 --> 00:00:20,875
That's her.
10
00:00:20,877 --> 00:00:22,110
I hereby authorize you
11
00:00:22,112 --> 00:00:23,578
to use whatever means necessary
12
00:00:23,580 --> 00:00:25,446
to find the people
involved in this conspiracy
13
00:00:25,448 --> 00:00:26,581
and bring them to justice.
14
00:00:26,583 --> 00:00:27,807
Are you still up for this?
15
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:29,177
I haven't even gotten started yet.
16
00:00:37,827 --> 00:00:40,060
Thank you. Thank you.
17
00:00:40,062 --> 00:00:42,930
Please, everyone, take your seats.
18
00:00:42,932 --> 00:00:43,797
Good morning.
19
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:45,099
Good morning.
20
00:00:45,101 --> 00:00:47,968
In the brief time I have been in office,
21
00:00:47,970 --> 00:00:49,502
we've experienced
22
00:00:49,505 --> 00:00:51,905
an extraordinary amount
of tragedy together.
23
00:00:51,907 --> 00:00:53,473
Today, however,
24
00:00:53,475 --> 00:00:55,109
I'd like to ask you to join me
25
00:00:55,111 --> 00:00:57,810
in opening a new chapter in our history.
26
00:00:57,812 --> 00:01:00,813
Most presidencies are judged
by their first hundred days,
27
00:01:00,815 --> 00:01:03,450
when a president rolls
out his policy initiatives
28
00:01:03,452 --> 00:01:04,902
for the next four years.
29
00:01:04,905 --> 00:01:07,920
Circumstances denied us
that initial opportunity,
30
00:01:07,922 --> 00:01:10,123
but I am hoping today,
with your permission,
31
00:01:10,125 --> 00:01:12,091
to reset the clock.
32
00:01:12,093 --> 00:01:15,995
I would like my first
hundred days to begin now.
33
00:01:15,997 --> 00:01:17,329
Over the coming weeks,
34
00:01:17,331 --> 00:01:19,165
I will be announcing a broad agenda
35
00:01:19,167 --> 00:01:21,267
to address critical issues
throughout the nation,
36
00:01:21,269 --> 00:01:23,035
issues that matter deeply to me...
37
00:01:23,037 --> 00:01:24,270
How's he doing?
38
00:01:24,272 --> 00:01:25,703
Twitter thinks he's crushing it.
39
00:01:25,706 --> 00:01:27,849
...public education, healthcare,
affordable housing,
40
00:01:27,852 --> 00:01:31,277
job creation, climate
change, immigration,
41
00:01:31,279 --> 00:01:34,212
balancing the budget,
and debt reduction.
42
00:01:34,214 --> 00:01:36,615
Clearly, we have a lot of work to do.
43
00:01:36,617 --> 00:01:38,811
I will be relying upon
44
00:01:38,814 --> 00:01:40,147
the leadership of both houses
45
00:01:40,150 --> 00:01:42,020
to work with me in a nonpartisan spirit,
46
00:01:42,022 --> 00:01:43,622
putting country before party,
47
00:01:43,624 --> 00:01:45,624
but I will also be relying
48
00:01:45,626 --> 00:01:48,660
upon the good will and highest
ideals of the American people,
49
00:01:48,662 --> 00:01:51,285
which is why I'll be holding
a town-hall meeting this week
50
00:01:51,288 --> 00:01:53,464
at the college of William and Mary
51
00:01:53,466 --> 00:01:56,401
to begin what I hope will
become a national discussion,
52
00:01:56,403 --> 00:01:58,701
as together we reset the clock...
53
00:01:58,704 --> 00:02:00,638
- _
- ...and work to build a better America.
54
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,407
Thank you.
55
00:02:02,409 --> 00:02:05,876
Now, I'm expecting that
you have some questions.
56
00:02:05,878 --> 00:02:07,412
Please.
57
00:02:07,414 --> 00:02:09,914
Mr. President, you mentioned
you want to start a new chapter.
58
00:02:09,916 --> 00:02:11,582
Does that mean you're putting
the fight against terrorists,
59
00:02:11,584 --> 00:02:13,217
like Al-Sakar, on the back burner?
60
00:02:13,219 --> 00:02:15,320
Absolutely not... National security...
61
00:02:15,322 --> 00:02:17,422
Does it ever weird you
out that you and Dad are,
62
00:02:17,424 --> 00:02:19,890
like... the President
and the First Lady?
63
00:02:19,892 --> 00:02:22,159
...responsibility to promote
the general welfare...
64
00:02:22,161 --> 00:02:23,660
Yes. Every day.
65
00:02:23,662 --> 00:02:25,229
That is all we're doing here.
66
00:02:25,231 --> 00:02:27,031
We're getting back to governing.
67
00:02:27,033 --> 00:02:30,901
We have a responsibility to
meet the needs of all Americans.
68
00:02:37,409 --> 00:02:40,043
So, uh... how long were
you planning to stay?
69
00:02:40,045 --> 00:02:42,245
- Why, are you trying to get rid of me?
- What?
70
00:02:42,247 --> 00:02:43,680
No, no, just the opposite.
71
00:02:43,682 --> 00:02:45,443
I was thinking of getting
you a better futon.
72
00:02:45,446 --> 00:02:46,732
- That's all.
- Oh, it's fine.
73
00:02:46,735 --> 00:02:48,284
I'll probably only stay a couple days.
74
00:02:48,286 --> 00:02:49,653
I just needed to be somewhere
75
00:02:49,655 --> 00:02:51,748
where nobody would think
to find me, you know?
76
00:02:53,191 --> 00:02:56,059
Right.
77
00:02:56,061 --> 00:02:57,927
So you said you ran
Claudine Poyet's photo
78
00:02:57,929 --> 00:02:59,229
through facial recognition?
79
00:02:59,231 --> 00:03:00,663
Yeah, I thought
Langdon's cellphone photo
80
00:03:00,665 --> 00:03:02,165
would give us a better hit than yours,
81
00:03:02,167 --> 00:03:04,400
but so far, nothing...
The woman's a ghost.
82
00:03:04,402 --> 00:03:05,935
Ghosts are visions of the dead.
83
00:03:05,937 --> 00:03:07,570
This woman is alive, and she has a name.
84
00:03:07,572 --> 00:03:09,372
Yeah, well...
85
00:03:09,374 --> 00:03:11,407
I could be a lot more impressive
if, for once, you gave me more
86
00:03:11,409 --> 00:03:14,377
than just the hint of a
sliver of a clue to work with.
87
00:03:14,379 --> 00:03:16,044
Well, I wouldn't want to spoil you.
88
00:03:16,749 --> 00:03:19,214
What about the timeline of her
relationship with Langdon...
89
00:03:19,216 --> 00:03:20,249
Retracing their steps?
90
00:03:20,251 --> 00:03:21,884
Been there, done that, twice.
91
00:03:28,225 --> 00:03:30,592
Chuck, what about fingerprints?
92
00:03:30,594 --> 00:03:32,616
Yeah, that would be
great if we had them.
93
00:03:32,619 --> 00:03:35,931
Can you pull fingerprints off a photo?
94
00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:38,466
The wine glass.
95
00:03:38,699 --> 00:03:41,501
The resolution isn't
exactly ready for prime time.
96
00:03:41,503 --> 00:03:43,235
It's okay, just see what you can do.
97

Advertise your product or brand here

98
00:03:57,184 --> 00:03:59,384
- Amazing.
- Here all week.
99
00:03:59,386 --> 00:04:01,186
Run it through the IAFIS database.
100
00:04:01,188 --> 00:04:02,621
Get me everything you can on her.

102
00:04:17,503 --> 00:04:18,736
I know I've said this before,
103
00:04:18,738 --> 00:04:20,067
but I think it's worth repeating.
104
00:04:20,070 --> 00:04:22,674
It's not that we don't care
about hot-button issues.
105
00:04:22,676 --> 00:04:23,875
It's just that we can't afford
106
00:04:23,877 --> 00:04:25,379
to get bogged down by controversy
107
00:04:25,382 --> 00:04:27,712
when Americans are worried
about feeding their families
108
00:04:27,714 --> 00:04:29,513
or the price of chemotherapy.
109
00:04:29,515 --> 00:04:30,882
Seth, I've got the staff director
110
00:04:30,884 --> 00:04:32,509
from the Senate Energy Committee.
111
00:04:32,512 --> 00:04:34,652
He wants to know where the
President stands on fuel cells.
112
00:04:34,654 --> 00:04:36,320
Sure, tell him the
President loved fuel cells
113
00:04:36,322 --> 00:04:37,655
10 years ago, just like everybody else,
114
00:04:37,657 --> 00:04:39,223
but the technology hasn't advanced,
115
00:04:39,225 --> 00:04:40,824
so he'd like to stick to wind and solar.
116
00:04:40,826 --> 00:04:42,893
Yes, we still think
it's worth revisiting
117
00:04:42,895 --> 00:04:44,895
raising the minimum social security age.
118
00:04:44,897 --> 00:04:46,363
There's a lot of support from the group,
119
00:04:46,365 --> 00:04:48,232
- and we find...
- No, that's radioactive.
120
00:04:48,234 --> 00:04:50,701
Hi, this is Emily Rhodes, the
White House Chief of Staff.
121
00:04:50,703 --> 00:04:52,602
Who's this? Hi, Katie.
122
00:04:52,604 --> 00:04:54,537
Social security will
absolutely be addressed.
123
00:04:54,539 --> 00:04:56,539
It just can't happen in
the first hundred days.
124
00:04:56,541 --> 00:04:57,674
Keep working on it, though.
125
00:04:57,676 --> 00:04:59,409
Thank you.
126
00:04:59,411 --> 00:05:00,410
Add social security
127
00:05:00,412 --> 00:05:01,444
to things we will address
128
00:05:01,446 --> 00:05:03,239
on day 101.
129
00:05:03,242 --> 00:05:04,915
It kills me to run triage on issues
130
00:05:04,917 --> 00:05:06,749
that are actually
affecting people's lives.
131
00:05:06,751 --> 00:05:07,750
Well, we need momentum,
132
00:05:07,752 --> 00:05:08,851
and we're not gonna get it
133
00:05:08,853 --> 00:05:10,764
by being divisive right out of the gate.
134
00:05:10,767 --> 00:05:12,955
Uh, folks, could I have
your attention, please?
135
00:05:12,957 --> 00:05:15,258
You know, if... if we waste the goodwill
136
00:05:15,260 --> 00:05:16,693
of the American people right now,
137
00:05:16,695 --> 00:05:18,394
the President doesn't
stand a chance in Hell
138
00:05:18,396 --> 00:05:19,929
of getting anything done, okay?
139
00:05:19,931 --> 00:05:21,264
Wow.
140
00:05:21,266 --> 00:05:22,798
No pressure there.
141
00:05:24,635 --> 00:05:26,301
Please, keep your seats.
142
00:05:26,303 --> 00:05:29,038
Don't let me interrupt.
143
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,040
Hey, how's it going here?
144
00:05:31,042 --> 00:05:32,474
Great, you hit it out of the park.
145
00:05:32,476 --> 00:05:33,909
We're getting calls from Congress,
146
00:05:33,911 --> 00:05:36,445
special interests, R.P.s... real people.
147
00:05:36,447 --> 00:05:38,667
People are excited to
contribute to your new agenda.
148
00:05:38,670 --> 00:05:39,116
Good.
149
00:05:39,119 --> 00:05:40,492
The more public support
we can build for you
150
00:05:40,494 --> 00:05:41,742
before the town hall, the better.
151
00:05:41,744 --> 00:05:43,335
That way, we can use
it to pressure Congress
152
00:05:43,337 --> 00:05:44,742
into supporting your
agenda. Otherwise...
153
00:05:44,744 --> 00:05:46,588
We don't have a chance in Hell.
154
00:05:46,590 --> 00:05:47,922
Yeah.
155
00:05:47,924 --> 00:05:49,072
Everyone, I'm sorry.
156
00:05:49,075 --> 00:05:50,892
I know I said I didn't
want to interrupt,
157
00:05:50,894 --> 00:05:52,728
but I'm the President
of the United States,
158
00:05:52,730 --> 00:05:54,296
and I get to change my mind.
159
00:05:55,665 --> 00:05:57,065
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
160
00:05:57,067 --> 00:05:59,339
passed 76 bills in
his first hundred days.
161
00:05:59,342 --> 00:06:00,969
If we can accomplish half of that...
162
00:06:00,971 --> 00:06:02,804
Hell, a third...
163
00:06:02,806 --> 00:06:06,307
Our government will be the
phoenix rising from the ashes.
164
00:06:06,309 --> 00:06:07,642
Keep it up. Thank you all.

We can't pretend that
anything is as it was
180
00:07:15,009 --> 00:07:17,376
before the Capitol was attacked.
181
00:07:17,378 --> 00:07:19,378
The very fact that I'm
standing here before you
182
00:07:19,380 --> 00:07:21,814
as First Lady should
be proof enough of that.
183
00:07:21,816 --> 00:07:23,454
But there are certain things
184
00:07:23,457 --> 00:07:24,755
that haven't changed.
185
00:07:24,758 --> 00:07:26,885
When it comes to men and women,
186
00:07:26,887 --> 00:07:27,680
there are still
187
00:07:27,683 --> 00:07:29,388
two different standards
188
00:07:29,390 --> 00:07:30,989
for work-life balance.
189
00:07:30,991 --> 00:07:32,658
And don't even get me started
190
00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:33,826
on the gender pay gap.
191
00:07:35,562 --> 00:07:37,095
But it is my hope that as
192
00:07:37,097 --> 00:07:39,497
community leaders, as mentors,
193
00:07:39,499 --> 00:07:41,733
as mothers, daughters, partners,
194
00:07:41,735 --> 00:07:43,601
we can lead this country
195
00:07:43,603 --> 00:07:45,603
out of the ashes of tragedy
196
00:07:45,605 --> 00:07:47,705
and into a more enlightened
197
00:07:47,707 --> 00:07:49,407
future for all of us.
198
00:07:49,409 --> 00:07:51,442
Thank you so much.
199
00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:53,487
Before we lose you,
200
00:07:53,490 --> 00:07:56,514
we collected a few questions
from the audience earlier,
201
00:07:56,516 --> 00:07:57,460
if you don't mind.
202
00:07:57,463 --> 00:08:00,050
Um, certainly.
203
00:08:00,052 --> 00:08:02,953
First question, "Do you
miss practicing law?"
204
00:08:02,955 --> 00:08:04,689
Absolutely, yes.
205
00:08:04,691 --> 00:08:06,957
It was and is a huge part of who I am,
206
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:08,592
but no complaints.
207
00:08:08,594 --> 00:08:11,695
Public service is very much ingrained
208
00:08:11,697 --> 00:08:13,597
in both Tom and myself.
209
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:14,899
Next question...
210
00:08:14,901 --> 00:08:16,767
"Considering our country
recently witnessed
211
00:08:16,769 --> 00:08:17,768
two separate acts
212
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:19,803
of gun violence...
213
00:08:19,805 --> 00:08:22,073
The death of Vice President MacLeish,
214
00:08:22,076 --> 00:08:24,775
and the assassination
attempt on your husband...
215
00:08:24,777 --> 00:08:27,744
What are your views regarding
gun policy in America?
216
00:08:27,746 --> 00:08:29,212
Oh!
217
00:08:29,214 --> 00:08:33,149
Honestly, this was something
that deeply concerned me
218
00:08:33,151 --> 00:08:36,152
long before Tom and I
ended up in the White House.
219
00:08:36,155 --> 00:08:40,402
When something as simple as
a mandatory background check
220
00:08:40,405 --> 00:08:42,872
can't get through
Congress, then, honestly,
221
00:08:42,875 --> 00:08:45,628
I-I have to wonder how we got here.
222
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:47,663
How do we tell our children
223
00:08:47,665 --> 00:08:49,899
that we are doing everything
to keep them out of danger?
224
00:08:49,901 --> 00:08:52,768
I-I don't know the
answers to these questions,
225
00:08:52,770 --> 00:08:55,972
but I do know that we need
to deal with guns differently
226
00:08:55,974 --> 00:08:57,072
in this country.
227
00:08:59,777 --> 00:09:01,544
Thank you so much.
228
00:09:13,157 --> 00:09:14,689
Jason.
229
00:09:17,094 --> 00:09:20,162
The woman who killed Luke.
230
00:09:20,164 --> 00:09:23,165
I don't want to talk about it.
231
00:09:23,167 --> 00:09:24,266
I know who she is.
232
00:09:28,973 --> 00:09:32,540
Brooke Mathison...
Born February 22, 1977,
233
00:09:32,542 --> 00:09:34,843
Seoul, South Korea... Army brat.
234
00:09:34,845 --> 00:09:37,645
Her father took a Pentagon
post in the early '90s.
235
00:09:37,647 --> 00:09:39,614
All we know is that he was charged
236
00:09:39,616 --> 00:09:40,782
with influence-peddling.
237
00:09:40,784 --> 00:09:41,626
The case was dropped,
238
00:09:41,629 --> 00:09:43,718
but he was dishonorably discharged.
239
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,152
Her life tail-spinned after that.
240
00:09:45,154 --> 00:09:46,620
She left home,
241
00:09:46,622 --> 00:09:48,055
but she pops up in various places
242
00:09:48,057 --> 00:09:49,190
throughout the country.
243
00:09:49,192 --> 00:09:50,691
Five years ago...
244
00:09:50,693 --> 00:09:52,193
she disappears,
245
00:09:52,195 --> 00:09:53,961
erases any trace of her existence.
246
00:09:53,963 --> 00:09:55,463
It's like she never was.
247
00:09:57,233 --> 00:10:00,413
We know who she is.
248
00:10:00,416 --> 00:10:02,870
What's next?
249
00:10:02,872 --> 00:10:04,872
We know more than who she is.
250
00:10:04,874 --> 00:10:06,172
We know where she is.
251
00:10:06,174 --> 00:10:08,041
Chuck found an address.
252
00:10:08,043 --> 00:10:10,210
I'm going after her
myself, off the grid.
253
00:10:10,212 --> 00:10:12,212
But I need backup.
254
00:10:12,214 --> 00:10:13,847
You with me?
255
00:10:18,925 --> 00:10:22,900
When something as simple as
a mandatory background check
256
00:10:22,903 --> 00:10:24,235
can't get through Congress,
257
00:10:24,238 --> 00:10:26,705
then I have to wonder how we got here.
258
00:10:26,707 --> 00:10:28,174
That was First Lady Alex Kirkman
259
00:10:28,176 --> 00:10:29,441
earlier this morning.
260
00:10:29,443 --> 00:10:31,710
Right now, we have Montana
Senator Jack Bowman,
261
00:10:31,712 --> 00:10:34,013
Chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, with us
262
00:10:34,015 --> 00:10:35,848
at the Hart Senate Office Building.
263
00:10:35,851 --> 00:10:37,276
Thanks for joining us, Senator.
264
00:10:37,278 --> 00:10:38,137
Pleasure.
265
00:10:38,140 --> 00:10:40,085
Now, what do you make of
the First Lady's comments?
266
00:10:40,087 --> 00:10:42,788
Well, I have to say,
I find it curious that
267
00:10:42,790 --> 00:10:44,089
on the same day the President
268
00:10:44,091 --> 00:10:45,591
announces his hundred days roll-out,
269
00:10:45,593 --> 00:10:48,060
the First Lady starts beating
the drum for gun control.
270
00:10:48,062 --> 00:10:49,695
Who's making policy here? Hmm?
271
00:10:49,697 --> 00:10:51,430
The President or the First Lady?
272
00:10:51,432 --> 00:10:52,431
Emily.
273
00:10:52,433 --> 00:10:53,999
- Hey.
- I have a minor flag.
274
00:10:54,001 --> 00:10:55,167
Are you talking about the First Lady?
275
00:10:55,169 --> 00:10:55,853
You heard?
276
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,403
I'm not sure it's so minor.
277
00:10:57,405 --> 00:10:59,004
Mr. President.
278
00:10:59,006 --> 00:11:01,106
I don't know if he's
the kind of president...
279
00:11:01,108 --> 00:11:03,475
What do we know about Jack Bowman?
280
00:11:03,477 --> 00:11:04,977
He's the former Governor of Montana.
281
00:11:04,979 --> 00:11:06,512
He resigned after the Capitol bombing
282
00:11:06,514 --> 00:11:08,414
so his successor could
appoint him to the Senate.
283
00:11:08,416 --> 00:11:09,815
Ambitious.
284
00:11:09,817 --> 00:11:11,584
Highly... His appointment to the Senate
285
00:11:11,586 --> 00:11:14,286
moved up his national timetable
by an election cycle or two.
286
00:11:14,288 --> 00:11:16,272
Where does he stand on gun control?
287
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:17,790
Well, he's from Montana, sir.
288
00:11:17,792 --> 00:11:19,758
Damn it!
289
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,061
I wanted to stay off of
these third-rail issues.
290
00:11:22,063 --> 00:11:23,200
And you're gonna have
to if you want to keep
291
00:11:23,202 --> 00:11:24,563
your first hundred days alive.
292
00:11:24,565 --> 00:11:26,065
Bowman wants to draw you out,
293
00:11:26,067 --> 00:11:28,067
make a national
impression at your expense.
294
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:30,369
How do we stop him?
295
00:11:30,371 --> 00:11:32,872
You have to talk to the First Lady.
296
00:11:40,481 --> 00:11:42,448
Hey. You all right?
297
00:11:42,450 --> 00:11:44,583
Oh, my God, Tom. I am so sorry.
298
00:11:44,585 --> 00:11:47,253
I so did not mean to
step on your announcement.
299
00:11:47,255 --> 00:11:49,388
It was an honest mistake.
300
00:11:49,390 --> 00:11:50,956
Hell, it wasn't even a mistake.
301
00:11:50,958 --> 00:11:53,158
I mean, you know I agree with you.
302
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,095
So, w-what's the
problem? Is it the timing?
303
00:11:56,097 --> 00:11:58,831
Timing, perception...
304
00:11:58,833 --> 00:12:01,433
Gun control is one of the most
polarizing issues in the nation.
305
00:12:01,435 --> 00:12:04,236
I just didn't want to start
out of the gate with it.
306
00:12:04,238 --> 00:12:05,738
What are Seth and Emily saying?
307
00:12:05,740 --> 00:12:07,006
They think the best solution
308
00:12:07,008 --> 00:12:09,174
is for you to publicly
walk back your comments.
309
00:12:09,176 --> 00:12:11,043
What does that mean?
310
00:12:11,045 --> 00:12:12,578
- Oh, you mean apologize?
- No.
311
00:12:12,580 --> 00:12:14,747
You just need to make it
clear that you were speaking
312
00:12:14,749 --> 00:12:16,081
for yourself, from your heart,
313
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:19,318
and not on behalf of the administration.
314
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,786
You mean take a back seat.
315
00:12:20,788 --> 00:12:22,321
I wouldn't put it like that.
316
00:12:22,323 --> 00:12:23,555
I know.
317
00:12:23,557 --> 00:12:25,858
Any stupid distraction
like this right now
318
00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:27,760
could sideline your whole agenda.
319
00:12:27,762 --> 00:12:31,563
Tell me, how do I... walk it back?
320
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:41,506
_
321
00:12:41,509 --> 00:12:43,709
You have nothing to be nervous about.
322
00:12:43,711 --> 00:12:44,777
Hey, you...
323
00:12:44,779 --> 00:12:46,779
You're graduating from Penn with honors.
324
00:12:46,781 --> 00:12:49,014
You interned at the
White House last summer.
325
00:12:49,016 --> 00:12:51,583
And I have a recommendation
from my brilliant cousin.
326
00:12:51,585 --> 00:12:53,519
Well, we'll see how much that's worth.
327
00:12:55,256 --> 00:12:56,889
Congresswoman Yoshida.
328
00:12:56,891 --> 00:12:58,389
You know, I like that new title.
329
00:12:58,392 --> 00:13:00,893
We've come a long way since
the Hill mailroom, haven't we?
330
00:13:00,895 --> 00:13:02,261
Oh, indeed we have.
331
00:13:02,263 --> 00:13:04,363
So I heard about your
resignation. What happened?
332
00:13:04,365 --> 00:13:06,398
It was all very amicable, believe me.
333
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,809
Congresswoman, this is
my cousin Nadia Espinosa.
334
00:13:08,812 --> 00:13:10,569
- A pleasure.
- The pleasure's mine, ma'am.
335
00:13:10,571 --> 00:13:12,438
Impressive CV for someone your age.
336
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,472
Come on in.
337
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:17,443
Oh... and if I get you
338
00:13:17,445 --> 00:13:20,379
some more of that special
Kona coffee that you like,
339
00:13:20,381 --> 00:13:22,815
will you tell me the
real reason you left?
340
00:13:22,817 --> 00:13:23,949
Maybe.
341
00:13:23,951 --> 00:13:25,084
I-I'll think about it.
342
00:13:25,086 --> 00:13:27,186
Okay.
343
00:13:35,563 --> 00:13:39,565
Your girl is a classic sociopath.
344
00:13:39,567 --> 00:13:42,501
Can't wait to get her into
an interrogation room...
345
00:13:42,503 --> 00:13:43,936
see what makes her tick.
346
00:13:48,876 --> 00:13:50,776
What the hell is wrong with you?!
347
00:13:50,778 --> 00:13:52,678
You don't know how to drive, huh?!
348
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:53,912
- Jason!
- Who sent you?!
349
00:13:53,914 --> 00:13:55,247
- Hey!
- Who do you work for?!
350
00:13:55,249 --> 00:13:57,216
He's just a reckless driver. Let him go!
351
00:13:57,218 --> 00:13:58,550
Get the hell out of
here, you son of a bitch!
352
00:14:01,655 --> 00:14:04,237
What was that?
353
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,259
Look, I shouldn't have...
I shouldn't have done that.
354
00:14:06,261 --> 00:14:09,529
Okay, I overreacted.
355
00:14:09,530 --> 00:14:10,529
But I'm fine.
356
00:14:10,531 --> 00:14:11,930
No, you're not.
357
00:14:11,932 --> 00:14:15,167
I need a partner, not a loose cannon.
358
00:14:15,169 --> 00:14:18,170
With everything that's
going on, I just thought...
359
00:14:18,172 --> 00:14:20,973
Oh, God.
360
00:14:20,975 --> 00:14:22,374
I'm good.
361
00:14:22,376 --> 00:14:23,976
I want to believe you.
362
00:14:23,978 --> 00:14:26,045
I do.
363
00:14:26,047 --> 00:14:28,080
But I can't take this chance right now.
364
00:14:28,082 --> 00:14:30,516
We got too much riding
on this, the both of us.
365
00:14:30,518 --> 00:14:32,651
Hannah, I said I'm fine. I'm ready.
366
00:14:32,653 --> 00:14:34,853
Get in the car. I'm taking you home.
367
00:14:34,855 --> 00:14:35,988
What?
368
00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:39,058
Jason, get in the car.
369
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:41,193
I'll walk.
370
00:14:41,195 --> 00:14:42,394
Ja...
371
00:14:51,972 --> 00:14:54,039
Reschedule that meeting.
372
00:14:56,477 --> 00:14:57,776
Aaron?
373
00:14:57,778 --> 00:15:00,079
Madam Speaker.
374
00:15:00,081 --> 00:15:01,480
What are you doing here?
375
00:15:01,482 --> 00:15:03,615
My cousin has an interview
with the Congresswoman.
376
00:15:03,617 --> 00:15:04,883
Oh, I didn't realize
377
00:15:04,885 --> 00:15:06,685
that politics was a family business.
378
00:15:06,687 --> 00:15:08,120
No, no, it's not.
379
00:15:08,122 --> 00:15:10,089
Can't be easy to be
on the sidelines today.
380
00:15:10,091 --> 00:15:11,857
The President's in very capable hands.
381
00:15:11,859 --> 00:15:13,292
Listen... I hope I didn't have
382
00:15:13,294 --> 00:15:14,927
anything to do with what happened...
383
00:15:14,929 --> 00:15:16,495
Leaking that story to Abe Leonard.
384
00:15:16,497 --> 00:15:18,097
Yeah, I appreciate that, ma'am.
385
00:15:18,099 --> 00:15:19,998
I-It's not that simple, but thank you.
386
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,234
I know you and I have
locked horns on occasion,
387
00:15:22,236 --> 00:15:24,903
but I've always respected you.
388
00:15:24,905 --> 00:15:27,005
You'll land on your feet.
389
00:15:27,007 --> 00:15:28,507
And if there's anything I can do,
390
00:15:28,509 --> 00:15:30,709
let me know... I mean that.
391
00:15:30,711 --> 00:15:32,211
Thank you, ma'am.
392
00:15:35,416 --> 00:15:36,782
So how'd it go?
393
00:15:36,784 --> 00:15:38,717
- Good... I think.
- Yeah?
394
00:15:38,719 --> 00:15:41,086
Was that Speaker Hookstraten?
395
00:16:27,234 --> 00:16:28,400
Chuck, it's me.
396
00:16:28,403 --> 00:16:30,108
The place is completely cleared out.
397
00:16:30,110 --> 00:16:31,711
I need you to look into
the building records.
398
00:16:31,713 --> 00:16:34,873
Find out who owns the property
and any transaction history.
399
00:16:34,875 --> 00:16:36,708
Hit me back when you've got something.
400
00:17:08,912 --> 00:17:10,212
If it makes you feel any better,
401
00:17:10,214 --> 00:17:13,248
this is actually totally
standard political procedure.
402
00:17:13,250 --> 00:17:16,084
What, pretending to eat
crow on national television
403
00:17:16,086 --> 00:17:18,420
while the rest of the nation's
eating their breakfast?
404
00:17:18,422 --> 00:17:20,655
Think of it this way. You
could be doing late night.
405
00:17:20,657 --> 00:17:22,393
How's it going?
406
00:17:22,396 --> 00:17:23,592
I'll go see how close they are.
407
00:17:23,594 --> 00:17:24,926
Okay.
408
00:17:26,263 --> 00:17:27,829
You look great.
409
00:17:27,831 --> 00:17:29,564
Tom, I look like a mannequin.
410
00:17:29,566 --> 00:17:31,166
No, you don't. You look beautiful.
411
00:17:31,168 --> 00:17:33,101
Tom, I'm just no good at
playing this, you know,
412
00:17:33,103 --> 00:17:34,402
submissive-wife role.
413
00:17:34,404 --> 00:17:36,838
- No one's asking you to.
- Really?
414
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,206
All I ask is that you acknowledge
415
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:39,274
that the comments were yours
416
00:17:39,276 --> 00:17:40,542
and not that of the administration.
417
00:17:40,544 --> 00:17:42,377
That's it.
418
00:17:42,379 --> 00:17:43,945
They're ready.
419
00:17:45,349 --> 00:17:46,848
Thank you.
420
00:17:46,850 --> 00:17:51,152
Look... I love you,
and I'm gonna do this.
421
00:17:53,056 --> 00:17:54,222
Thank you.
422
00:17:57,060 --> 00:18:00,729
Clearly, you're juggling
a lot as first lady...
423
00:18:00,731 --> 00:18:03,698
Wife, mother, spokesman, role model.
424
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,400
How do you keep it all together?
425
00:18:05,402 --> 00:18:06,883
Um
426
00:18:06,886 --> 00:18:11,339
I... I have to admit, it has been, uh...
427
00:18:11,341 --> 00:18:13,842
an adjustment with a
steep learning curve.
428
00:18:13,844 --> 00:18:17,979
I mean, just yesterday, I
managed to get in hot water
429
00:18:17,981 --> 00:18:20,915
for a comment I made at a luncheon.
430
00:18:20,917 --> 00:18:23,618
Senator Jack Bowman
of Montana accused you
431
00:18:23,620 --> 00:18:27,055
of soft-pedaling gun control
on behalf of the President.
432
00:18:27,057 --> 00:18:28,307
Is that what you were doing?
433
00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:29,691
I gave a brief speech.
434
00:18:29,693 --> 00:18:31,459
I was not expecting any questions.
435
00:18:31,461 --> 00:18:33,728
And, um...
436
00:18:33,730 --> 00:18:37,666
when asked about gun violence,
I simply spoke my mind.
437
00:18:37,668 --> 00:18:39,301
So there was nothing premeditated?
438
00:18:39,303 --> 00:18:40,368
No, not at all.
439
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:42,637
I spoke as a citizen, as a mother,
440
00:18:42,639 --> 00:18:44,706
not as a First Lady.
441
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:47,142
But I have discovered
that when you are married
442
00:18:47,144 --> 00:18:49,744
to the President, you, uh...
443
00:18:49,746 --> 00:18:52,213
you don't really get to
make that distinction.
444
00:18:52,215 --> 00:18:54,382
So tackling gun reform is not something
445
00:18:54,384 --> 00:18:56,351
that you want to take on as First Lady.
446
00:18:56,353 --> 00:18:59,821
Right now, I plan on
leaving the politics
447
00:18:59,823 --> 00:19:02,924
to the new politician in my family.
448
00:19:02,926 --> 00:19:05,827
And I know that both Tom
and I are very excited
449
00:19:05,829 --> 00:19:09,197
about his agenda for
the first hundred days.
450
00:19:10,801 --> 00:19:13,401
D.C. was designed to intimidate, right?
451
00:19:13,403 --> 00:19:14,469
It's working.
452
00:19:14,471 --> 00:19:16,438
Come on. It's only been a day.
453
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,073
You'll hear back from
them any minute now.
454
00:19:18,075 --> 00:19:21,676
I know. I just really want it.
455
00:19:21,678 --> 00:19:23,445
So, are you ever gonna talk about it?
456
00:19:23,447 --> 00:19:24,543
About what?
457
00:19:24,546 --> 00:19:26,980
Why you left the White House?
458
00:19:26,983 --> 00:19:29,351
Look, I know you don't do
anything without good reason,
459
00:19:29,353 --> 00:19:30,819
but my mom said you were
thinking about moving
460
00:19:30,821 --> 00:19:33,054
back to Texas, and I just
want to say, for the record,
461
00:19:33,056 --> 00:19:34,799
- it's a really bad idea...
- Nadia, I made it
462
00:19:34,801 --> 00:19:37,192
about as far as I can
make it in this town.
463
00:19:37,194 --> 00:19:39,618
It was a really good run. Now it's...
464
00:19:39,621 --> 00:19:40,953
It's time to try something new.
465
00:19:40,956 --> 00:19:42,197
Can I just say one thing?
466
00:19:42,199 --> 00:19:43,565
Now you're asking?
467
00:19:43,567 --> 00:19:45,200
Before you, no one
thought it was possible
468
00:19:45,202 --> 00:19:46,434
to get out of our town.
469
00:19:46,436 --> 00:19:48,103
You probably don't remember this,
470
00:19:48,105 --> 00:19:51,806
but the summer after you
graduated from college,
471
00:19:51,808 --> 00:19:53,608
I was maybe 10, and you
came home for a visit.
472
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,176
And the only thing you could talk about
473
00:19:55,178 --> 00:19:57,812
was moving to D.C. to
work in the mailroom
474
00:19:57,814 --> 00:20:01,649
of some senator that nobody
had ever heard of.
475
00:20:01,651 --> 00:20:04,163
Yeah.
476
00:20:04,166 --> 00:20:05,954
I'll never forget that you told me
477
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:07,802
that it didn't matter
that we came from nothing.
478
00:20:07,804 --> 00:20:10,058
- Look, Nadia, just...
- Because... No, shut up.
479
00:20:10,060 --> 00:20:14,162
You were gonna prove that
even we can make a difference.
480
00:20:14,164 --> 00:20:15,897
That's why you came to D.C.
481
00:20:17,868 --> 00:20:20,602
That's why I'm here.
482
00:20:20,604 --> 00:20:22,036
Because of you.
483
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:28,102
_
484
00:20:28,769 --> 00:20:30,312
_
485
00:20:33,784 --> 00:20:36,050
Okay, that address you went to
486
00:20:36,052 --> 00:20:38,319
has been completely vacant
for the past five years.
487
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:39,220
So it's a dead end.
488
00:20:39,222 --> 00:20:40,288
Not necessarily.
489
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:41,890
Someone's still paying the property tax.
490
00:20:41,892 --> 00:20:43,091
Who?
491
00:20:43,093 --> 00:20:44,559
Browning Reed.
492
00:20:44,561 --> 00:20:47,262
Browning Reed? The
private defense company?
493
00:20:47,264 --> 00:20:48,530
I thought they went out of business.
494
00:20:48,532 --> 00:20:49,731
Supposedly, but it hasn't stopped them
495
00:20:49,733 --> 00:20:52,300
from shelling out $35,000 a
year for an empty building.
496
00:20:52,302 --> 00:20:54,202
Nice work, Chuck.
497
00:20:54,204 --> 00:20:56,104
Find out whatever else
you can on Browning Reed,
498
00:20:56,106 --> 00:20:57,872
and if they own any
other properties in D.C.
499
00:20:57,874 --> 00:20:58,907
I'm on it.
500
00:21:01,478 --> 00:21:03,511
Do you smell that?
501
00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:06,147
Yeah, there was a-a gas
leak in the building earlier.
502
00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:07,482
A guy from D.C. United Gas
503
00:21:07,484 --> 00:21:09,817
checked it out and said it was okay.
504
00:21:09,820 --> 00:21:10,883
Chuck.
505
00:21:10,886 --> 00:21:13,655
D.C. United doesn't check gas leaks.
506
00:21:13,657 --> 00:21:14,889
The fire department does.
507
00:21:16,927 --> 00:21:18,126
Out! Now!
508
00:21:49,508 --> 00:21:50,373
You okay?
509
00:21:50,375 --> 00:21:52,041
I can't hear anything.
510
00:21:52,043 --> 00:21:53,410
It'll come back.
511
00:21:53,412 --> 00:21:54,411
Just breathe.
512
00:21:56,181 --> 00:21:58,381
Hey.
513
00:21:58,383 --> 00:21:59,883
We're okay.
514
00:21:59,885 --> 00:22:02,552
Just a routine gas-leak
explosion, right?
515
00:22:02,554 --> 00:22:03,887
Right.
516
00:22:03,889 --> 00:22:06,189
Right.
517
00:22:06,191 --> 00:22:08,057
Listen... They think we're dead.
518
00:22:08,059 --> 00:22:10,427
So maybe we have the
edge on them for once.
519
00:22:10,429 --> 00:22:12,295
Somehow, that doesn't
make me feel better.
520
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:18,234
The only connection we
have is Browning Reed.
521
00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:20,670
Did we find out if they
own any other properties?
522
00:22:20,672 --> 00:22:22,138
Thank God for the Cloud.
523
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:27,444
They own six properties in North Dakota.
524
00:22:27,446 --> 00:22:29,245
- Anything closer?
- Actually, very...
525
00:22:29,247 --> 00:22:32,615
135 Columbia Road, Washington, D.C.
526
00:22:32,617 --> 00:22:34,584
Guess that's where I'm headed next.
527
00:22:36,154 --> 00:22:40,023
Mr. President, my name is
Carol. I'm from Philadelphia.
528
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:42,459
I'm 74 years old, and
I'm on a fixed income.
529
00:22:42,461 --> 00:22:44,961
I've lived in the same
apartment for 30 years,
530
00:22:44,963 --> 00:22:46,262
and because of gentrification,
531
00:22:46,264 --> 00:22:48,779
I can't afford to live in
my neighborhood anymore.
532
00:22:48,782 --> 00:22:50,600
How are you going to help people like me
533
00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:52,101
from getting pushed out of our homes?
534
00:22:52,103 --> 00:22:53,403
Carol, thank you for
asking the question.
535
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:54,871
You're absolutely right.
536
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:56,706
Recent studies have
shown that housing prices
537
00:22:56,708 --> 00:22:58,842
have gone up exponentially
over the last three years,
538
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:00,176
especially in our major cities.
539
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:02,078
I'm sorry, sir. Can I stop you there?
540
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,880
Emily, tell me whatever
you want to tell me,
541
00:23:03,882 --> 00:23:05,348
but if you don't start
talking to me like a person
542
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:06,683
instead of the President
of the United States,
543
00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:08,485
- we're never gonna get through this.
- Okay.
544
00:23:08,487 --> 00:23:10,053
You're falling into
professor mode again.
545
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:11,781
Carol from Philadelphia
546
00:23:11,784 --> 00:23:13,890
doesn't give a damn
about academic surveys.
547
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:16,259
She cares that she has to take two buses
548
00:23:16,261 --> 00:23:18,094
to find an affordable grocery store.
549
00:23:18,096 --> 00:23:19,729
And she wants to know that
you care about that, too.
550
00:23:19,731 --> 00:23:21,865
I do, which is why I was
referencing this study,
551
00:23:21,867 --> 00:23:23,967
because it shows that
with specific zoning laws
552
00:23:23,969 --> 00:23:26,236
and small-business incentives,
local grocers can...
553
00:23:26,238 --> 00:23:28,605
No offense, sir, but I just fell asleep.
554
00:23:30,008 --> 00:23:31,474
Look... You have the right answers,
555
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:33,910
but tonight is about
listening to people's concerns.
556
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:35,078
Focus on relating.
557
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,446
No, I don't feel comfortable with that.
558
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:38,047
The town hall isn't about me.
559
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:40,149
With all due respect, sir, yes, it is.
560
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,081
Okay.
561
00:23:44,084 --> 00:23:46,055
You want me to show that I have a grasp
562
00:23:46,057 --> 00:23:49,292
on all of the topics, but
not sound too professorial.
563
00:23:49,294 --> 00:23:52,328
Yes... and personalize every answer.
564
00:23:52,330 --> 00:23:55,131
And personalize every
answer... Anything else?
565
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:56,900
If you can get through
tonight unscathed,
566
00:23:56,902 --> 00:23:59,469
we can get to policy building.
567
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:01,104
Okay.
568
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:03,373
This next question
falls under the category
569
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,341
of "expect the unexpected."
570
00:24:05,343 --> 00:24:08,177
Mr. President, thanks to the Internet,
571
00:24:08,179 --> 00:24:11,915
pornography addiction has become
a big problem in my community.
572
00:24:11,918 --> 00:24:13,950
What are your thoughts on pornography,
573
00:24:13,952 --> 00:24:16,085
and how will you help with this problem?
574
00:24:19,057 --> 00:24:20,990
You want me to personalize this one?
575
00:24:24,095 --> 00:24:26,763
President Kirkman begins his
town hall in just a few minutes.
576
00:24:26,765 --> 00:24:28,064
What can we expect?
577
00:24:28,066 --> 00:24:29,799
Well, it's his first public appearance
578
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:32,135
away from the White House
setting, and the idea is
579
00:24:32,137 --> 00:24:34,604
to bring his agenda
directly to the people,
580
00:24:34,606 --> 00:24:36,973
to showcase the more
personal side of Tom Kirkman.
581
00:24:36,975 --> 00:24:39,075
And I'm eager to see
if he can pull it off.
582
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,881
Thank you.
583
00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:45,982
Mr. President.
584
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:48,184
My name is Melissa, and I wanted to ask
585
00:24:48,186 --> 00:24:50,386
what was it like becoming
a president overnight?
586
00:24:50,388 --> 00:24:53,423
That's a very difficult
question for me to answer.
587
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:56,059
Over a thousand people
died that evening,
588
00:24:56,061 --> 00:24:57,994
many of whom I knew.
589
00:24:57,996 --> 00:25:00,830
Some I had talked to
just that afternoon.
590
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:03,633
But if I'm gonna be completely honest...
591
00:25:03,635 --> 00:25:06,369
it was the scariest moment of my life.
592
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:08,838
But I knew I wanted to serve my country,
593
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,273
and that's what I did.
594
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:12,742
And I'm committed to doing
the best job possible.
595
00:25:12,744 --> 00:25:14,777
Mr. President, we were all so worried
596
00:25:14,779 --> 00:25:16,412
about you after you were shot.
597
00:25:16,414 --> 00:25:18,581
I'm surprised and elated
598
00:25:18,583 --> 00:25:20,817
to see you out and around so quickly.
599
00:25:20,819 --> 00:25:21,851
How are you feeling?
600
00:25:23,521 --> 00:25:24,954
Thank you.
601
00:25:24,956 --> 00:25:26,656
Thank you all.
602
00:25:26,658 --> 00:25:27,924
Thank you very much.
603
00:25:27,926 --> 00:25:30,960
I'm feeling much better. It
only hurts when I breathe.
604
00:25:32,163 --> 00:25:36,599
Seriously... I feel lucky, grateful.
605
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:39,102
Hello, Mr. President, my name is Amy.
606
00:25:39,104 --> 00:25:41,304
And my question to you, sir, is,
607
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:44,374
after all that's happened
these past few months,
608
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,876
what do I tell my children?
609
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:48,578
Are we ever gonna be safe again?
610
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,580
That's a very important question, Amy.
611
00:25:50,582 --> 00:25:52,215
If you don't mind,
612
00:25:52,217 --> 00:25:53,658
what are the names of your children?
613
00:25:53,661 --> 00:25:54,951
Oh, Lily and Sara.
614
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:56,319
Lily and Sara.
615
00:25:56,321 --> 00:25:58,988
I had a difficult time
explaining this to my kids, too.
616
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:01,557
But I think you have to be
honest with Lily and Sara
617
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:03,126
and acknowledge what's happened.
618
00:26:03,128 --> 00:26:07,030
And tell them that we're gonna
get through this... together.
619
00:26:07,032 --> 00:26:09,699
And when we do, we'll be
better and stronger for it.
620
00:26:09,701 --> 00:26:13,736
Mr. President, I was a
factory worker for 27 years
621
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:15,905
before the plant closed down last year.
622
00:26:15,907 --> 00:26:17,573
I'm 54 years old, and I don't think
623
00:26:17,575 --> 00:26:20,443
I have it in me to start a new career.
624
00:26:20,445 --> 00:26:22,912
How you gonna bring back
jobs like mine to Virginia?
625
00:26:24,482 --> 00:26:26,282
What kind of factory did you work in?
626
00:26:26,284 --> 00:26:27,684
I was an assembly-line foreman
627
00:26:27,686 --> 00:26:30,653
for a small-appliance manufacturer.
628
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:34,490
My father and grandfather
were both factory workers.
629
00:26:34,492 --> 00:26:37,093
I remember when I was a boy that...
630
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,902
I'm not here to speak about me.
631
00:26:45,904 --> 00:26:48,905
I'm here to speak about you.
632
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:52,041
I'm very sorry that
you lost your job, sir.
633
00:26:52,043 --> 00:26:54,677
But as to what I can do
to help bring it back,
634
00:26:54,679 --> 00:26:56,379
the answer is nothing.
635
00:26:56,381 --> 00:26:58,614
It's gone for good.
636
00:26:58,616 --> 00:27:00,483
And if some politician
told you otherwise,
637
00:27:00,485 --> 00:27:01,918
they were lying to you.
638
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,619
And I won't do that.
639
00:27:03,621 --> 00:27:06,689
Now, the reason why jobs
like yours have disappeared
640
00:27:06,691 --> 00:27:10,059
isn't just because of cheaper
labor in some other country.
641
00:27:10,061 --> 00:27:12,028
Primarily, it's technology.
642
00:27:12,030 --> 00:27:15,231
Technology allows one person
to do what used to take 10.
643
00:27:15,233 --> 00:27:18,267
Now, that might be
great for the economy,
644
00:27:18,269 --> 00:27:21,170
but it's not for you... or your family.
645
00:27:21,172 --> 00:27:22,905
Now, a moment ago, Melissa asked me
646
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:25,108
what it was like to become
president overnight,
647
00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:27,577
and I told her it was the
scariest moment of my life.
648
00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:30,179
It doesn't even compare to what
you're going through, sir...
649
00:27:30,181 --> 00:27:32,749
The fear of not knowing if you
can provide for your family.
650
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:34,917
Not since the Industrial Revolution
651
00:27:34,919 --> 00:27:38,254
has our economy gone through
such a dynamic transformation.
652
00:27:38,256 --> 00:27:42,458
We need solutions. So
here's what we're gonna do.
653
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:44,827
We're gonna create a
public-works program
654
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:47,163
that's gonna deal with the
failing infrastructure issues
655
00:27:47,165 --> 00:27:48,242
around the country,
656
00:27:48,245 --> 00:27:52,602
and anyone who has lost a
manual-labor manufacturing job
657
00:27:52,604 --> 00:27:56,333
in the last four years because
of this changing economy...
658
00:27:56,336 --> 00:27:58,274
Their names will go
to the top of the list
659
00:27:58,276 --> 00:27:59,609
for these new jobs.
660
00:27:59,611 --> 00:28:01,611
But I also want to create programs
661
00:28:01,613 --> 00:28:04,680
at every public college and
university across the country
662
00:28:04,682 --> 00:28:07,250
so unemployed workers
can become educated
663
00:28:07,252 --> 00:28:09,685
in these new and emerging technologies.
664
00:28:09,687 --> 00:28:12,021
And I want you to know that I believe
665
00:28:12,023 --> 00:28:14,457
that the American government
has a responsibility,
666
00:28:14,459 --> 00:28:16,425
not just to maintain,
667
00:28:16,427 --> 00:28:19,092
but create opportunities
for the American people,
668
00:28:19,095 --> 00:28:20,663
and that's what we're going to do.
669
00:28:27,438 --> 00:28:29,405
Next question, please.
670
00:28:32,577 --> 00:28:33,943
Hello, Mr. President.
671
00:28:33,945 --> 00:28:35,945
- My name is Sandra.
- Hi, Sandra.
672
00:28:35,947 --> 00:28:38,548
I heard what the first lady
said about background checks,
673
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:40,983
and I have a question.
674
00:28:40,985 --> 00:28:44,921
I recently lost my daughter, Julie.
675
00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:47,390
My ex-boyfriend was...
676
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:51,060
released from jail, and even so,
677
00:28:51,062 --> 00:28:55,464
he was able to buy a handgun
from a private seller.
678
00:28:55,466 --> 00:28:59,202
He broke into our house...
679
00:28:59,204 --> 00:29:02,705
and he shot and killed my little girl.
680
00:29:02,707 --> 00:29:04,473
I'm so sorry.
681
00:29:04,475 --> 00:29:09,045
My daughter was my world, my everything.
682
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:12,882
And the man... who took her from me
683
00:29:12,884 --> 00:29:15,451
was a monster who somehow
684
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:21,190
still got his hands on a gun
because unlicensed gun dealers
685
00:29:21,192 --> 00:29:25,261
don't have to run background checks.
686
00:29:25,263 --> 00:29:27,263
I'm here because I have to be strong
687
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:30,833
for my other two daughters.
688
00:29:30,835 --> 00:29:35,471
But I struggle every day to
find a reason to keep going.
689
00:29:37,275 --> 00:29:40,710
I would like to ask you, Mr. President
690
00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:43,346
what will you do
691
00:29:43,348 --> 00:29:46,115
to prevent something like
this from happening again?
692
00:30:02,033 --> 00:30:04,667
Sandra, your story breaks my heart.
693
00:30:06,404 --> 00:30:07,737
And as a father,
694
00:30:07,739 --> 00:30:10,506
I can't even imagine what
you're going through.
695
00:30:10,508 --> 00:30:12,975
Gun control is one of the most divisive,
696
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:15,478
hot-button topics in our nation,
697
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,015
but that should not be an
excuse for avoiding the issue.
698
00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:20,783
In fact, that should be the opposite.
699
00:30:20,785 --> 00:30:24,587
- He's good.
- Yeah, that's because he means it.
700
00:30:24,589 --> 00:30:26,355
But I want to be absolutely clear.
701
00:30:26,357 --> 00:30:28,257
I believe that the American people
702
00:30:28,259 --> 00:30:30,293
have every right to buy and own guns
703
00:30:30,295 --> 00:30:32,295
by virtue of the second amendment.
704
00:30:32,297 --> 00:30:33,863
I would also like to take a moment
705
00:30:33,865 --> 00:30:37,333
to quash the myth that
somehow gun control
706
00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:39,235
is equal to the Federal Government
707
00:30:39,238 --> 00:30:41,830
coming into your home and
taking your weapons away.
708
00:30:41,832 --> 00:30:44,607
Nobody is advocating for that.
709
00:30:44,609 --> 00:30:46,609
We need to be doing everything we can
710
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:49,946
to stop guns from falling into
the hands of prior felons,
711
00:30:49,948 --> 00:30:51,881
people dealing with serious
mental-health issues,
712
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:54,617
people on terrorist watch lists.
713
00:30:54,619 --> 00:30:56,419
I mean, come on.
714
00:30:56,421 --> 00:30:58,654
We need to be using common sense.
715
00:30:58,656 --> 00:31:00,623
It's as simple as that.
716
00:31:00,625 --> 00:31:01,824
And I hate the fact
717
00:31:01,826 --> 00:31:03,793
that there is nothing I
can say or do right now
718
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:06,529
to ease Sandra's pain,
719
00:31:06,531 --> 00:31:08,998
but I can make her one promise...
720
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,701
That I will do everything in my power
721
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:15,204
to make sure that not
one more American family
722
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:17,106
has to experience her grief.
723
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:29,618
Thank you.
724
00:31:38,490 --> 00:31:39,656
Yes.
725
00:31:39,658 --> 00:31:42,659
Aaron Shore is here to see you.
726
00:31:42,661 --> 00:31:43,793
Send him in.
727
00:31:46,031 --> 00:31:47,197
- Madam Speaker.
- Aaron.
728
00:31:47,199 --> 00:31:48,331
Thank you for seeing me.
729
00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:50,533
Please.
730
00:31:50,535 --> 00:31:51,501
Thanks.
731
00:31:51,503 --> 00:31:52,602
So, what can I do for you?
732
00:31:52,604 --> 00:31:54,270
I wanted to take you up on your offer.
733
00:31:54,272 --> 00:31:56,139
You're good friends with
Tony Buchanan, right?
734
00:31:56,141 --> 00:31:57,474
I am. Why?
735
00:31:57,476 --> 00:32:00,610
I was wondering if you
could make an introduction.
736
00:32:00,612 --> 00:32:03,012
You want to work for
Buchanan and Associates?
737
00:32:03,014 --> 00:32:04,214
I've... I've always thought
738
00:32:04,216 --> 00:32:05,815
they're some of the
strongest lobbyists in town.
739
00:32:05,817 --> 00:32:07,479
I-I like the causes they represent,
740
00:32:07,482 --> 00:32:10,386
their public-interest
concerns, their non-profits.
741
00:32:10,388 --> 00:32:12,355
Why do you want to be a lobbyist?
742
00:32:12,357 --> 00:32:15,391
Well, when you leave a
high White House position
743
00:32:15,393 --> 00:32:16,750
under a cloud, well,
744
00:32:16,753 --> 00:32:18,661
let's say your options
are somewhat limited.
745
00:32:18,663 --> 00:32:20,163
You didn't leave under a cloud.
746
00:32:20,165 --> 00:32:22,832
I mean, I'll admit,
it's a little mysterious,
747
00:32:22,834 --> 00:32:25,368
but there's no hint of scandal...
748
00:32:25,370 --> 00:32:27,070
is there?
749
00:32:27,072 --> 00:32:30,039
No.
750
00:32:30,041 --> 00:32:31,508
Okay, then.
751
00:32:31,510 --> 00:32:33,476
Wouldn't you rather be on the inside?
752
00:32:33,478 --> 00:32:36,312
Y-Yeah, but lobbying seems
like a pretty good temp job.
753
00:32:36,314 --> 00:32:38,181
Besides, the money wouldn't hurt.
754
00:32:38,183 --> 00:32:39,541
That's the problem.
755
00:32:39,544 --> 00:32:41,217
Once you get used to
that expense account,
756
00:32:41,219 --> 00:32:42,252
it's hard to go back.
757
00:32:42,254 --> 00:32:44,087
Yeah.
758
00:32:44,089 --> 00:32:46,589
Washington needs you on the inside.
759
00:32:46,591 --> 00:32:48,791
You're too talented to leave.
760
00:32:48,793 --> 00:32:51,361
Look, um, I appreciate that, ma'am,
761
00:32:51,363 --> 00:32:54,497
but, um... can you think
of any other alternatives?
762
00:32:57,736 --> 00:32:59,135
Yeah.
763
00:32:59,137 --> 00:33:00,637
Work for me.
764
00:33:05,377 --> 00:33:07,110
Everybody, come on in.
765
00:33:09,948 --> 00:33:13,249
That's it. Come on
in. Please take a seat.
766
00:33:13,251 --> 00:33:15,919
I want to thank you all
for being here today.
767
00:33:15,921 --> 00:33:19,155
Last night, I spoke to
specific policy and ideas,
768
00:33:19,157 --> 00:33:21,624
but I want you to know that
I am still trying to determine
769
00:33:21,626 --> 00:33:22,859
my own priorities.
770
00:33:22,861 --> 00:33:25,895
So any input that you have,
I would be grateful for.
771
00:33:25,897 --> 00:33:28,898
There seem to be a few
political pundits out there
772
00:33:28,900 --> 00:33:31,434
that think that I am working
at a distinct disadvantage
773
00:33:31,436 --> 00:33:34,037
because I am registered
as an Independent.
774
00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:36,639
I can't tell you how
strongly I disagree with that.
775
00:33:36,641 --> 00:33:38,374
I believe that if we work together,
776
00:33:38,376 --> 00:33:40,176
we can create a bi-partisan platform
777
00:33:40,178 --> 00:33:42,312
that would be beneficial
to both parties,
778
00:33:42,314 --> 00:33:45,782
and as an Independent, I
can help facilitate that.
779
00:33:45,784 --> 00:33:49,919
We have an opportunity to bypass
special interests, lobbyists,
780
00:33:49,921 --> 00:33:54,424
and use... compassion,
cooperation, common sense.
781
00:33:54,426 --> 00:33:57,760
Now I'm not as naive
782
00:33:57,762 --> 00:33:59,762
as some of you would like to believe.
783
00:33:59,764 --> 00:34:02,232
And I'm not trying to
minimize or over-simplify
784
00:34:02,234 --> 00:34:05,668
the incredible challenges
that we will face.
785
00:34:05,670 --> 00:34:08,338
But as we begin our work here today,
786
00:34:08,340 --> 00:34:12,508
I would like us to move toward
the true spirit of partnership.
787
00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:15,245
Now, having said that, I'll go first.
788
00:34:15,247 --> 00:34:17,347
Senator Bowman... you and I have
789
00:34:17,349 --> 00:34:20,183
very different opinions on gun safety.
790
00:34:20,185 --> 00:34:22,252
I would like to make
a pledge to you, sir,
791
00:34:22,254 --> 00:34:24,087
that I will work tirelessly with you
792
00:34:24,089 --> 00:34:25,722
until we reach a consensus...
793
00:34:25,724 --> 00:34:27,323
Something that we both can live with,
794
00:34:27,325 --> 00:34:30,019
maybe even be proud of.
795
00:34:30,022 --> 00:34:31,761
Mr. President, you can rely on me
796
00:34:31,763 --> 00:34:33,842
to act in the best
interests of the country.
797
00:34:33,845 --> 00:34:35,149
Thank you, sir.
798
00:34:35,152 --> 00:34:37,267
We had an amicable first meeting.
799
00:34:37,269 --> 00:34:39,636
The President has some
big ideas for the future,
800
00:34:39,638 --> 00:34:41,037
and so do we.
801
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:43,606
Now, the President made it
clear last night and again today
802
00:34:43,608 --> 00:34:45,608
that gun control's an
important issue to him.
803
00:34:45,610 --> 00:34:47,710
We don't happen to see
eye-to-eye on the topic,
804
00:34:47,712 --> 00:34:50,079
but in an effort to bring
the issue out into the open,
805
00:34:50,081 --> 00:34:51,981
as the Chairman of the Senate
Appropriations Committee,
806
00:34:51,983 --> 00:34:54,083
I will be re-introducing Bill 8180
807
00:34:54,085 --> 00:34:55,184
from the former Congress,
808
00:34:55,186 --> 00:34:57,420
which strengthens
federal background checks.
809
00:34:57,422 --> 00:34:59,222
Now, I happen to oppose this bill,
810
00:34:59,224 --> 00:35:01,391
but in the spirit of
bipartisan discussion,
811
00:35:01,393 --> 00:35:03,359
I'd like to put it before
the Senate for debate.
812
00:35:03,361 --> 00:35:05,261
Do you believe this guy?
813
00:35:05,263 --> 00:35:06,419
Son of a bitch.
814
00:35:06,422 --> 00:35:07,930
We can't introduce our own bill now.
815
00:35:07,932 --> 00:35:09,365
We do that, and we look
like we're competing
816
00:35:09,367 --> 00:35:11,200
against Congress instead
of working with them.
817
00:35:11,202 --> 00:35:12,669
He hasn't even left
the White House grounds.
818
00:35:12,671 --> 00:35:14,237
Already he's hijacking our agenda.
819
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,905
If the President's
gonna find a compromise,
820
00:35:15,907 --> 00:35:17,140
it comes at a price.
821
00:35:17,142 --> 00:35:18,941
Good. Get that to me
within the hour, please.
822
00:35:18,943 --> 00:35:20,143
Yes, ma'am.
823
00:35:20,145 --> 00:35:22,712
Okay, do we have anyone
who can propose amendments?
824
00:35:22,714 --> 00:35:25,370
Because this bill has loopholes
you could fly a plane through.
825
00:35:25,373 --> 00:35:27,251
Mr. President, we're
just trying to figure out
826
00:35:27,252 --> 00:35:28,618
how to handle this
development with Bowman.
827
00:35:28,620 --> 00:35:29,526
I just read the bill.
828
00:35:29,529 --> 00:35:31,454
I can see why it didn't
get out of committee.
829
00:35:31,456 --> 00:35:33,089
The problem is, if you
don't support the bill,
830
00:35:33,091 --> 00:35:35,491
you'll be branded a hypocrite
who used the town hall
831
00:35:35,493 --> 00:35:37,727
for political purposes when
you're really soft on guns.
832
00:35:37,729 --> 00:35:39,929
But if you do support it,
you're opening yourself up
833
00:35:39,931 --> 00:35:42,632
to all sorts of criticism
because of its flawed wording.
834
00:35:42,634 --> 00:35:45,668
Son of a bitch is trying
to back us into a corner.
835
00:35:45,670 --> 00:35:47,370
Get ready for a fight.
836
00:36:11,796 --> 00:36:13,830
How long you been following me?
837
00:36:13,832 --> 00:36:16,499
Since the explosion.
838
00:36:16,501 --> 00:36:18,167
You okay?
839
00:36:18,169 --> 00:36:20,002
Yeah.
840
00:36:20,004 --> 00:36:22,338
I'm ready now.
841
00:36:22,340 --> 00:36:23,673
Let's go.
842
00:36:33,955 --> 00:36:35,889
Browning Reed owns this place?
843
00:36:35,891 --> 00:36:37,657
According to what Chuck found out.
844
00:38:19,995 --> 00:38:21,928
Let her go.
845
00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:23,329
Let her go!
846
00:38:25,934 --> 00:38:27,901
Put your hands behind your head.
847
00:38:28,870 --> 00:38:31,070
Put your hands behind your head!
848
00:38:31,072 --> 00:38:32,839
Jason Atwood.
849
00:38:33,808 --> 00:38:35,308
It's been a while.
850
00:38:35,310 --> 00:38:36,609
Jason.
851
00:38:36,611 --> 00:38:38,028
Jason, put your gun down.
852
00:38:38,031 --> 00:38:39,679
Go get the car. I'll
bring her out front.
853
00:38:39,681 --> 00:38:41,147
Yeah, Jason!
854
00:38:41,149 --> 00:38:42,548
Let the real cop take it from here.
855
00:38:42,550 --> 00:38:45,151
- Shut the hell up.
- Don't let her manipulate you again.
856
00:38:45,153 --> 00:38:47,353
Jason, we'll make her pay
for what she did, okay?
857
00:38:48,723 --> 00:38:50,523
Do it.
858
00:38:50,525 --> 00:38:51,557
Do it!
859
00:38:51,559 --> 00:38:53,192
Damn it, Atwood! We need her alive!
860
00:38:54,229 --> 00:38:55,228
Aah!
861
00:39:01,403 --> 00:39:03,236
Let's take her in.
862
00:39:10,245 --> 00:39:12,211
Hey!
863
00:39:32,834 --> 00:39:34,167
Thank you.
864
00:39:39,205 --> 00:39:41,293
- Aaron.
- Hey.
865
00:39:41,296 --> 00:39:42,809
Hey, what are you doing here?
866
00:39:42,811 --> 00:39:45,011
I'm meeting with Gary
over at "Leg" Affairs.
867
00:39:45,013 --> 00:39:46,779
It'll hit playbook tomorrow.
868
00:39:46,781 --> 00:39:49,115
I'm the new Chief Strategist
for the Speaker of the House.
869
00:39:49,117 --> 00:39:50,717
You're working for Kimble Hookstraten?
870
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,086
I know, it seems a
little outside the box.
871
00:39:53,088 --> 00:39:54,153
A little?
872
00:39:54,155 --> 00:39:55,321
She's the head of the Republican Party,
873
00:39:55,323 --> 00:39:56,456
and you're a card-carrying Democrat.
874
00:39:56,458 --> 00:39:58,391
I'm looking to redefine
the playing field.
875
00:39:58,393 --> 00:40:01,594
I thought a lot about it,
and with Kirkman as president,
876
00:40:01,596 --> 00:40:04,063
the party lines don't seem to
mean as much as they used to,
877
00:40:04,065 --> 00:40:05,698
- you know?
- Hmm.
878
00:40:07,473 --> 00:40:09,970
Well, I have a meeting with
State. I guess I'll be seeing you.
879
00:40:09,973 --> 00:40:10,837
I guess so.
880
00:40:10,839 --> 00:40:12,372
Good.
881
00:40:17,746 --> 00:40:19,178
Thank you.
882
00:40:29,224 --> 00:40:30,523
Surprise!
883
00:40:30,525 --> 00:40:32,158
Daddy!
884
00:40:34,362 --> 00:40:35,728
I didn't know you were coming.
885
00:40:35,730 --> 00:40:37,230
That's why they call it a surprise.
886
00:40:37,232 --> 00:40:38,164
Is that from Zeno's?
887
00:40:38,166 --> 00:40:39,232
Pepperoni and a veggie.
888
00:40:39,234 --> 00:40:40,733
Awesome.
889
00:40:40,735 --> 00:40:41,648
Wait up.
890
00:40:41,651 --> 00:40:44,303
- This really is such a nice surprise.
- Hi.
891
00:40:44,305 --> 00:40:45,671
They needed to see you.
892
00:40:45,673 --> 00:40:47,407
No more than I needed to see all of you.
893
00:40:47,409 --> 00:40:48,374
Long day.
894
00:40:48,376 --> 00:40:50,977
I know... I saw Bowman on TV.
895
00:40:50,979 --> 00:40:53,646
Perfect example of why I never
wanted to get into politics.
896
00:40:54,883 --> 00:40:57,150
- And yet here we are.
- Yeah.
897
00:40:57,152 --> 00:40:58,117
Fighting the good fight.
898
00:40:58,119 --> 00:40:59,752
We'll see.
899
00:40:59,754 --> 00:41:01,575
You better not have eaten it all.

901
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:33,553
Oh, my God.
