00:12You know what I like about people?
00:14They stack so well.
00:18Let me get this for you.
00:22Want the paper?
00:23No.
00:27This is too much.
00:28Not half enough.
00:28Thanks for opening up for me.
00:30Anytime, day or night.
00:31You know that.
00:33In a time where everyone's so carefully reinventing themselves,
00:36what I like about Freddy is that he doesn't even pretend to change.
00:41Oh, I'm late.
00:42Every Tuesday, I sit down with the Speaker and the Majority Leader
00:45to discuss the week's agenda.
00:47Well, discuss is probably the wrong word.
00:50They talk while I sit quietly and imagine their lightly salty faces
00:53frying in a skillet.
00:54I'm not working.
00:55He's a good one.
00:55Let's go.
00:57Let's go.
01:21Let's go.
02:52Or a filibuster.
02:53Well, sure, if it looks anything like this.
02:55I don't know why Walker's trying to tackle a charging elephant. It's madness.
02:59Congressman, sorry to interrupt, but I saw you sitting over here.
03:02Remy. Gentlemen, this is Remy Denton. Remy, this is Speaker Birch.
03:06I was well aware, Mr. Speaker, Congressman.
03:08Remy just made partner at Glendon Hill.
03:10Glendon Hill? Great team over there. Congratulations.
03:14When was the last time they added a partner?
03:16It's been a while.
03:17Well, they know a winner when they see one. Remy was the best press secretary I ever had.
03:21Why'd you let him go?
03:22I didn't. They stole him away.
03:24What accounts do you have?
03:26San Corp Industries is my main one. I run that account now.
03:30Anyhow, I'll let you get back to it. Sorry again to interrupt.
03:32No problem.
03:33Very nice to meet you both.
03:36At least the lobbyists keep getting younger and younger.
03:38He's probably making more than all of us combined.
03:41Gentlemen, this one's on me. I'm going to track down that check.
03:44Glendon Hill fronts San Corp Industries. San Corp is deep into natural gas.
03:49I don't give a hoot about natural gas.
03:50But I have 67 deputy whips, and they all need cash to win races.
03:54San Corp helps me purchase loyalty, and in return, they expect mine.
03:58It's degrading, I know.
03:59But when the tit's that big, everybody gets in line.
04:06Tell them I'm on top of it.
04:07I need more than that.
04:09You are well aware that I do not drop the ball on things like this, Remy.
04:13Promises for anything.
04:14Secretary of State, Argentina, the offshore drilling contracts.
04:17Talk to me when I've solved the problem. Don't waste my time when I'm working on solving it.
04:20When there's billions on the line, you can't not call me back, and I can't not show up.
04:23Fine. Thank you for your diligence.
04:25Eight figures to you in the DCCC. Six million to build that library of yours, in your name.
04:29I know.
04:30Don't make them throw money at your challenge your next cycle.
04:33You've made your point.
04:34Have I? I hope so.
04:40It's such a waste of time.
04:42He chose money over power.
04:45In this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes.
04:48Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years.
04:52Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries.
04:58I cannot respect someone that doesn't see the difference.
05:03What am I looking at?
05:05The Williams Register.
05:06Williams?
05:07College. September 78.
05:09And why am I looking at it?
05:10The editorial.
05:16Not that interesting.
05:18Michael Kern went to Williams.
05:20Check out the masthead.
05:24And then there's this.
05:28It's thin.
05:29The guy's a unicorn.
05:30He pisses rainbows.
05:32You think we can get traction with this?
05:33I think you could.
05:34Linda Vasquez is on the phone.
05:36I'm surprised it took her this long.
05:39It's only six past nine.
05:40Which means she read the Herald three hours ago and spent the past two and a half getting
05:44reamed by the president.
05:45Tell her I'm on my way.
05:46You were supposed to keep Donald in line.
05:48You assured me that you...
05:49Twenty-five years he's been pushing this particular agenda.
05:52We got between the mother bear and a cub.
05:54It's a setback, that's...
05:55On our first day in office.
05:57Linda, I've worked with four presidents.
05:58Setbacks are a dime a dozen with a bill of this size.
06:01Frank, if you can't control this...
06:02I don't take well to being micromanaged, Linda.
06:04You want to do my job for me and run the White House?
06:07Good luck.
06:08I won't stand in your way.
06:09Okay, Frank.
06:10Fine.
06:11This is yours now.
06:13If this thing can't make it to the floor in the first hundred days,
06:16then I'll let you explain to the president why he lied to the American people.
06:19I won't get back to work.
06:20Please do.
06:40Well, we really should be doing this on a Friday instead of a Wednesday.
06:44Because if we do it on a Friday, people have the weekend.
06:47Fine, we'll do it on Friday.
06:48Is all the paperwork ready?
06:49Some of the more senior people are trickier.
06:52There's severance.
06:53But we shouldn't run into any legal issues.
06:55No, no.
06:56We use at-will employment contracts across the board.
07:01Well, get started first thing Friday.
07:02I want all of the exit interviews done by lunch.
07:06Claire, I just can't help but think that this is a mistake.
07:10We've discussed this already.
07:12I know, I know, but I just have to say it for the sake of my conscience.
07:16I think that you are dismantling what we have built over the past ten years, and I...
07:29And I think the way you're handling this is cruel.
07:36It's not easy, Evelyn.
07:39But it's necessary.
07:41You have always asked me to be honest with you.
07:44It's how we work together.
07:46I disagree with something, I say it.
07:48Well, I disagree 100%.
07:52Please, Claire, don't do this.
07:54I respect your opinion, Evelyn, and I appreciate you sharing it with me, but I'm not going to change my
08:01mind.
08:04Friday, then.
08:08That's what you want?
08:17This is major reform.
08:19Like a complete overhaul.
08:20That would usually take months.
08:22Well, we only have days, not months.
08:24Oh, but think about the process.
08:26I mean, we can't just change...
08:26Let's ask my colleagues, your bosses, who are the smartest minds in education.
08:32Out of hundreds, we arrived at you.
08:35The six of you in this room.
08:37Now, I realize it is a difficult task, but we have the opportunity to make history here,
08:42and I want all of us to make it together.
08:45So, good luck.
08:46We're counting on you.
08:49Page one.
08:51These bullet points reflect the key planks at the center of our bill.
08:55Donald, get comfy.
08:56This is your home until we have a presentable first draft.
09:03Donald, what a morning.
09:04I have no idea how they got this.
09:06I specifically told my staff to destroy everything.
09:08I can't imagine...
09:09It doesn't matter how it happened.
09:10We can't make it unhappen, so now we have to adapt.
09:13Don't they realize that this is a first draft?
09:14All we have here, really, is a perception problem.
09:17We don't get a second chance at a first impression, Donald.
09:19You know that.
09:20Now, look, I'm on your side, but Linda is furious.
09:24What's she saying?
09:25They want to point fingers.
09:27At me?
09:28I told her we cannot do that.
09:30I mean, you are vital to this process.
09:32I'm up to here with them, Donald.
09:35For lying.
09:36For turning their back on you.
09:38You know, I'm of a mind to say, screw it.
09:40I'll fall on this grenade myself just to piss them off.
09:44Get me John King at CNN.
09:46Wait, Frank.
09:47This is not your fault.
09:48No, we have to protect your reputation.
09:50No, but you're the man that needs to get the bill through the house.
09:52I will.
09:53Hang on.
09:53I will assign it to one of my deputies and quietly manage it,
09:56and I'll help guide you through the process.
09:57I am not comfortable with this.
09:58Well, then what do you suggest we do?
10:03What a martyr craves more than anything is a sword to fall on.
10:07So you sharpen the blade, hold it at just the right angle,
10:10and then three, two, one.
10:13It should be me.
10:14It was my bill.
10:16No, impossible.
10:17Donald, education has been your life's work.
10:23The truth is, my heart is not in this fight.
10:26You know me.
10:28I'm not a wheeler dealer.
10:29I could put my mind to policy,
10:31but I'm no good at this brand of politics.
10:33Well, if not you, then who?
10:41It should be you, Frank.
10:44You're formidable.
10:45People respect you.
10:46They will follow your lead.
10:48Let me be on the sidelines for this.
10:54Well, I could only consider that as an option
10:57if I knew that I could still come to you for counsel.
11:01Of course.
11:03Whatever you need.
11:06Part of me is glad this got leaked.
11:12Well, it would have been better if it hadn't,
11:13but at least people know where I stand.
11:19Thank you, Donald.
11:20Happy to do it, Frank.
11:28He has no idea we got six kids in the next room
11:31already working on a new draft.
11:32Stamper!
11:33But why dampen his mood by telling him?
11:35We just gave him a great gift,
11:36the chance to fulfill his destiny.
11:39Write up a statement for Blythe,
11:40stepping aside, fresh ideas, etc., etc.
11:43Make it dignified.
11:44He's a good man.
11:44Oh, and bring me that Williams editorial.
11:52After careful thought and discussion with my staff,
11:55I am relinquishing my management
11:56of the Education Reform Act.
11:58I hope to remain a part of the process,
12:00but I won't be working on...
12:01Why did you leak the draft?
12:03I'm not exactly sure how it got leaked,
12:05but it does represent exactly...
12:07It came from your office, though, correct?
12:09We wrote it, but I don't know...
12:10Who'll be managing the bill now?
12:11Frank Underwood.
12:12Was that your choice, or did the administration...
12:14I feel very confident placing the bill
12:17in Frank's capable hands.
12:57Miss Barnes?
12:58How very deep throat of you.
13:00Well, I can't help you dispatch a president.
13:02How about a senator?
13:04The editorial on the Camp David Accords.
13:06It is the opinion of this newspaper
13:08that President Carter demand Israel
13:10withdraw all its citizens
13:12from the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
13:14Which it has illegally occupied since 1967.
13:17Illegally occupied?
13:18That's quite an incendiary quote, don't you think?
13:20For an administration that says
13:21the Middle East is its top foreign policy priority.
13:24Michael Kern?
13:26Did he personally write the editorial?
13:28He was the editor.
13:29But did he write it himself?
13:33Then there's no story.
13:36I'm saying it's a question worth asking.
13:39And if he deny his involvement?
13:41He will.
13:41Let him.
13:42This is a man trying to be confirmed
13:44as Secretary of State.
13:46Everything is a story.
13:48There's no direct link.
13:49I can't get this past Hammerschmidt.
13:53Remember this moment when you resisted me.
13:56When you said the words,
13:58then there is no story.
14:02Get a good night's sleep, Miss Bonds.
14:04You have a big day tomorrow.
14:29Francis?
14:42What is this?
14:44What does it look like?
14:45But the basement is mine.
14:47I know.
14:48It's not for me.
14:49So who's it for?
14:51For you.
14:52There's a gym in the Capitol.
14:54Which you never use.
14:55Because I'm a tad busy running the country.
14:58But not at home.
14:59So now you have no excuse.
15:00I want it out.
15:01Give it a try first.
15:02Is this your subtle way of saying
15:04that I'm out of shape?
15:06No, it's my way of suggesting
15:08you could be in better shape.
15:09That sounds both passive-aggressive
15:11and condescending.
15:12Just plain aggressive and true.
15:13Don't wait up for me.
15:14Are you going running now?
15:17Yes, because I couldn't this morning.
15:19I had an early meeting.
15:20Use the monstrosity.
15:22It's freezing out.
15:23You break it in.
15:28It looks positively medieval, doesn't it?
15:30I'm going to turn my only sanctuary
15:32into a famous dungeon.
15:33I won't have it.
15:36It's a stretch.
15:37We're not misleading anyone.
15:39He was the editor.
15:40Did you call for a comment?
15:41I tried three times.
15:42The press secretary said he'd get back to me.
15:43He didn't.
15:44What about research?
15:45You couldn't find anything to echo the editorial?
15:47No quotes?
15:47No op-ed pieces?
15:48Don't you think if something like that existed,
15:50someone would have printed it by now?
15:52Nobody else has this, Lucas.
15:54I don't think there's a story here.
15:55I'm not saying there's a story.
15:56All I'm saying is that there's a question
15:57that needs to be answered.
16:00This is a nominee for secretary of state.
16:03We have an editorial on Palestine and Israel.
16:05Which he didn't write.
16:06Which we don't know he didn't write.
16:09Exactly.
16:10We don't have to print it.
16:11I could just scan the thing,
16:12stick it on a site, and tweet the link.
16:14But if I did that, some other paper might...
16:16Whoa, whoa.
16:17Don't be a bitch.
16:19I'll talk to Tom.
16:21That's all I was asking.
16:23We simply can't afford to allow...
16:24We got a guy who's almost perfect.
16:26He's a libertarian drug fiend marinating in a mobile home.
16:30I didn't agree with President Reagan on many things,
16:32but there was some merit to the notion of trickle-down economics,
16:36and I feel there is much merit to the idea of trickle-down diplomacy.
16:41If we can solve...
16:42Those are my lines.
16:43Vasquez must have given them to him.
16:44...between Israel and Palestine.
16:46That success will trickle down to a hundred other diplomatic dilemmas
16:50between Muslims, Jews, Christians...
16:52I'm glad you brought up Israel and Palestine,
16:54because just before we came on the air,
16:55I received an advance copy of an article
16:57that's going to be in Tomorrow's Washington Herald's front page,
17:00and it was written by Zoe Barnes.
17:02And in it, she quotes an editorial that ran in the Williams College Register
17:06when you were editor back in September 1978,
17:09which called the Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip and West Bank,
17:12quote, an illegal occupation.
17:15Can I see that?
17:15Sure.
17:17Did you write those words, illegal occupation?
17:19No.
17:20I have no memory of this.
17:22You were the editor of the paper.
17:23Yes.
17:24So it couldn't have gone out without your approval.
17:26No, of course not.
17:27But my staff, somebody else usually wrote the...
17:31And then we'd vote.
17:33Did you vote for it?
17:34Honestly, George, I can't remember.
17:36It was 35 years ago.
17:37So you're not sure whether or not you supported these words?
17:39Look, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt,
17:41I did not write these words.
17:44But were they in line with your thinking at the time?
17:48This is ludicrous.
17:49This is ludicrous.
18:13But a lot of other people are going to look at it and think
18:15what you thought then is relevant as well.
18:17Let me ask you this.
18:18Have you ever changed your views since college or anything?
18:20Certainly, but I'm not the nominee for Secretary of State.
18:23Even if I did have this viewpoint, this has not been my viewpoint.
18:27It's a bullseye.
18:28What were you saying when you came in?
18:30Uh, so, I found a guy who was on the college editorial staff when Kerm was there.
18:36This burnout, still pumping mimeograph manifestos out of a trailer park in the Berkshires.
18:41Well, you're not planning on talking to me.
18:43Peter Russo.
18:45Good.
18:46Sounds like a perfect match.
18:53Dennis, any chance you're watching Stephanopoulos?
19:05You look sexy when you're improving the lives of hard-working Pennsylvanians.
19:10Is it the improving lives or is it these fetching sweatpants?
19:13Why don't you move that computer out of the way?
19:15Let me see what that looks like.
19:20Yeah, it's better with the laptop.
19:21Fuck off.
19:23You're not paying enough attention to me.
19:25I pay attention to you all day at the office.
19:30Hey, you know, I don't think I've ever seen you brush your teeth before.
19:32Sure you have.
19:33No, I don't think so.
19:34I mean, I know that you do brush, but I don't think I've ever actually witnessed it before.
19:37Well, here it is in all its glory.
19:40Is that my toothbrush?
19:42I don't know. Is it?
19:43Yes, it is.
19:44You left it here.
19:45Peter, gross.
19:46Oh, come on.
19:47We've exchanged plenty of fluids by now.
19:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
19:52No, toothpaste.
19:54It's not toothpaste.
19:55I'm running.
19:56No.
20:01Go get it.
20:03I have to take this.
20:05This is Russo.
20:15Right now, it's 1253.
20:24Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
20:30I have to go.
20:32Is everything okay?
20:34It's work stuff.
20:35What kind of work stuff?
20:36Congressman Walensky.
20:37He wants to go over the tax incentive stuff we sent him in.
20:41Peter, it's one in the morning.
20:43Hey, Peter.
20:52I have meetings tomorrow.
20:54I have a committee hearing.
20:55The Congress will survive without you.
20:58Address, directions, there's an e-ticket in your name.
21:07Your flight leaves at 6.30.
21:09You should head to the airport.
21:10This is coming from Frank.
21:12No.
21:12This is coming from no one.
21:14You have the flu and you're calling in sick.
21:17What's that?
21:18It's what?
21:19Is that a hickey?
21:22Are you whoring around again?
21:24No, I have a girlfriend.
21:26You mean your little office romance.
21:30What do you know about that?
21:31When it comes to your life, Peter, and what I know about it,
21:34you should assume that there's no such thing as a secret.
21:38Stay in touch.
21:39You call me in my cell.
21:40Never at the office.
21:43Good luck.
21:47Knock him dead, tiger.
22:06How are we?
22:09Over-tired, under-caffeinated, but we're making progress.
22:12Less than a week to go.
22:14Yeah, we'll do our best.
22:15Do your what?
22:16We'll get it done.
22:18Let somebody open a window.
22:19It's rancid in here.
22:20That is what happens when six people don't shower for half a week.
22:24Anything you need other than deodorant?
22:26Yeah, this performance standards thing.
22:28The teachers' unions are going to-
22:29Leave it in.
22:30But we could deliver-
22:31I'll handle the unions.
22:32What else?
22:32Anything?
22:33Conjugal visits.
22:35We'll get back to work.
22:39Nancy!
22:40Coming.
22:41What do I have next?
22:43Constituent calls from 210 to 235.
22:45Fundraising until 3.50.
22:46Deputy caucus at 4.
22:47The call list?
22:48It's on your desk.
22:49My briefing for the caucus?
22:50Next to the call list.
22:51Have you been in the conference room?
22:52Have it steam cleaned over the weekend.
22:54In the meantime, get those poor kids in for breeze or something.
22:56It's like a petting zoo.
22:58You gotta see this.
23:22It's too easy.
23:57It's too easy.
24:00I don't know.
24:29Roy, hi, my name is Peter Russo, Congressman Russo.
24:35I'd like to just speak to you for just a second.
24:39Sir?
24:39Either you're lying and you can fuck off, or you're telling the truth and you can absolutely
24:45fuck off.
24:46I saw your website.
24:48I'm a fan, and I brought you something.
25:06Hey, babe.
25:07Put some clothes on.
25:09What?
25:09We got a guest.
25:11So?
25:11Hey.
25:12Oh, put some clothes on.
25:15Ice or no ice?
25:18Uh, no ice.
25:20Good.
25:21We don't have any.
25:29Oh, fuck.
25:30Echo, I told you to put the-
25:31Okay, it's okay.
25:34I'll keep your secret if you keep mine.
25:38A congressman, you say?
25:40Right now, I'm just a drinking companion.
25:42Well, all right, companion.
25:43Have yourself a drink.
25:46I'll get a drink.
25:55Bye.
25:58Bye.
25:59Hi!
26:02Yeah, man, you're the only one.
26:03I'm doing that.
26:05I'm doing that.
26:09It's just like a object.
26:17$10,000, what will that get me?
26:22I mean, I'm kinky, but I don't know if I'm the girl you're looking for.
26:26You are definitely the girl that I'm looking for.
26:32Excuse me.
26:34All I want for that money is your silence.
26:37My what?
26:38The guy you were with the other night. The one who was arrested. Do you know who he was?
26:43You mean the congressman?
26:44There was no congressman. There was no arrest. None of that exists.
26:49All that exists is the money sitting right there in front of you.
26:53Do you understand?
26:57Yeah.
26:59Good.
27:06Open your mouth.
27:25Last little bit's for me.
27:39You're scolding me.
27:43Am I?
27:44You are, silently.
27:50Is it the rowing machine?
27:51You tell me.
27:53It's the rowing machine.
27:54You haven't used it.
27:56How do you know I haven't?
27:57Frances.
27:58You know I don't like to be managed.
28:00I'm not trying to manage you.
28:02I just don't want to outlive you by 25 years.
28:06I must walk three miles a day around that capital.
28:08I'm constantly on my feet.
28:10And do you know how many calories the brain burns?
28:13I'm not worried about your brain.
28:15It's your heart we're talking about.
28:21Use the machine.
28:27She's right.
28:28I should take better care of myself.
28:30But it's the principle.
28:32I won't be a slave to anybody or anything you can order with a toll free number.
28:48We share the wealth in this republic.
28:58I thought the whole editorial team pitched in.
29:02Sometimes.
29:04Not that time though.
29:05But he must have written some of it.
29:06Oh.
29:07That was all me.
29:13What if people thought he wrote it?
29:15Oh fuck that.
29:16He's a fraud.
29:17No he's worse than a fraud.
29:19He's a fucking farce.
29:20I'll tell you something.
29:22He used to be even more of a maniac than I am.
29:25Chemicals?
29:26No. Politics.
29:27No we had some nights man.
29:29Long conversations.
29:31Dangerous fucking notions.
29:32Like what?
29:33You name it.
29:34Opec Pinochet.
29:35The fucking food stamp act.
29:37Then the motherland sang her mating call.
29:40Oh who say can you?
29:43Next thing he's cramming for the bar at Bryn Mawr and snapping on a flag pit.
29:47Does Bryn Mawr have a law school?
29:48My point is he started goose stepping in the marionette parade.
29:52Left, right, red, blue, democrat, republican.
29:55They're all dangling from the same strings.
29:57Take a sledgehammer to the whole fucking punchin' Judy show.
30:01That's what's required.
30:03Thought you were a patriot.
30:04Fuck yeah.
30:05One of the few.
30:05So what's wrong with public service?
30:07Public service?
30:08Come on man.
30:09You gotta get a grip on who your masters are.
30:12The IMF.
30:13The World Bank.
30:14The Rockefeller Trilateral Commission.
30:16You bankroll their fucking death squads.
30:19It's called FEMA.
30:20It's called alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
30:23NATO.
30:24Border control.
30:25You think Katrina was incompetence?
30:26That was highly orchestrated negligence.
30:28Look at Waco.
30:29Amnesty International.
30:31The ACLU.
30:32Smoke screens.
30:33All of them.
30:34Blood on their hands.
30:35Well exactly.
30:39You want me to lie to the people.
30:41I want you to spare the people another hypocrite.
30:44What's in it for you?
30:47Poetic justice?
30:49Oh come on.
30:50You're one of them.
30:53Can a corporate sellout rule a joint like this?
31:02If I wanted to do this thing.
31:05How might I go about that precisely?
31:18How did it go?
31:20There were a few tears here and there.
31:23And some anger.
31:25But nothing unexpected.
31:31I'm going to need you to leave us today too, Evelyn.
31:35I'm sorry.
31:36I just can't have any doubt about the direction I'm taking.
31:45You just had me fire 18 people.
31:48I know.
31:49I sat across from them in this room and I had to tell each and every one of them.
31:55I know.
31:57I am 59 years old.
31:59Nobody hires anybody my age.
32:01I will write you any kind of recommended.
32:04Bad groceries.
32:06What am I supposed to do?
32:08I'm sorry Evelyn.
32:10I truly am.
32:10No you're not.
32:11You don't give a fuck.
32:1418 people, Claire.
32:2019 if you count me.
32:24I have to call my daughter.
32:30I would call your daughter.
32:32I would call my daughter.
32:35I have to call my daughter.
32:35I'd call my daughter.
32:36I think it's gonna be important.
32:41Here's that.
32:41Oh, my God.
33:12I know today has been tough. A lot of your colleagues have left, and I owe you an explanation. Many
33:23of those who left us today helped build the CWI from the ground up, and I'm grateful to them.
33:29But it is time for us to evolve, and to accomplish this, we had to make hard choices and bring
33:38in new people. That's what today was about.
33:43Do you have any questions? My door is always open.
33:51I'm all good for National and Metro. We've got space for political if you need it.
33:55Janine, anything new on Michael Kern?
33:58The White House is dodging.
34:00You can't get anyone on record.
34:02Not just me. They're shutting all of us down in the briefings. No one is giving an inch, even on
34:08background.
34:08In the meantime, I'm working on a feature about the administration's foreign policy agenda, how it shifted from the start
34:13of the campaign, increased DOD spending, and...
34:15I see you, Zoe.
34:17I can link Kern directly to the Williams editorial.
34:20What?
34:20I've got a guy named Roy Kopeniak, who was on the editorial staff when Kern was there.
34:25Hey, Twitter twat. WTF.
34:26Wait, wait, wait. Roy what?
34:28Kopeniak, a classmate of Kern's. I have him on record saying Kern wrote every word of the editorial.
34:34Let's move this into my office. Zoe, Lucas.
34:43Janine!
34:46Let me, let me, let me once and for all say this definitively.
34:51I didn't author that editorial. Not a single sentence, word, comma, or period.
34:56If memory serves me, it was Mr. Kopeniak who wrote it. Why on earth he's trying to claim that I
35:02did is beyond me.
35:03Let me further say that I'm a strong supporter of the state of Israel.
35:07As the most stable country in the region and our strongest...
35:10It's Frank Underwood for Cathy.
35:12...in any peace process, because without the stability of Israel, there can be no Palestine.
35:19CNN right now.
35:26I've got it all.
35:27I would remind Senator Kern that there was a Palestine long before there was an Israel.
35:33His comments are not only ignorant, they are racist.
35:36Get ready, Cathy. Things are about to move very quickly.
35:41Okay. I'm ready.
35:46Stop. Hey, hey, where have you been?
35:51Oh, God, you're fucking high.
35:54No, I...
35:54Yes, you are. Look at your eyes.
35:56Oh, please, just lay off.
35:59You promised me it wouldn't be like this.
36:02Cancel whatever I have for the rest of the day.
36:04Come on, go on.
36:06Come on.
36:17Come on.ко
36:32new
36:42Kern is out.
36:45They're tossing him?
36:46Technically, he'll withdraw himself, but yes.
36:50Can I say a source close to the White House?
36:51No, you let this story play out in its own time.
36:54They'll announce in the morning.
36:56I'm sorry, if not that, what story are we talking about?
36:59Catherine Durant.
37:01Soon as Kern withdraws, you say she'll be the replacement.
37:04Is that true?
37:05It will be after you. Write it.
37:09Roy Kopeniak was you.
37:10You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.
37:14You found him. You had him calling.
37:16Kopeniak and Kern were appetizers, Miss Barnes.
37:19Catherine Durant is the meal.
37:23Say that name. Catherine Durant.
37:27Say it over and over.
37:29Tomorrow afternoon, write it down.
37:31Then watch that name come out of the mouth of the President of the United States.
37:37This is where we get to create.
37:47Do miss your train, Miss Barnes. It's the last one to lie.
37:54Billy Barnes at the Washington Herald now reporting, quoting a source close to the President,
37:58as saying that Senator Catherine Durant will likely be the new nominee for Secretary of State
38:02after Michael Curran's withdrawal earlier this week.
38:05The White House has remained silent on whether the President will tap Durant for the nomination,
38:09but a national Zoghbi poll shows wide support for Durant across pretty lines.
38:13As her 10 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
38:16she made numerous diplomatic missions to South America.
38:18We can place our faith in her knowing that we have a responsible, experienced, brilliant woman
38:23representing our interests abroad.
38:25In the middle of the road, team player, strong in defense.
38:28And if there's a woman that can work with the Joint Chiefs, she's the one.
38:31Durant is the way to go. It's a no-brainer.
38:33The President should stop this pageant and simply make the call.
38:36Why are we still talking about if they're going to nominate Durant?
38:38Why don't they just do it already so we can all stop talking about ifs
38:42and start talking about when and what and how Durant's going to shape a foreign policy?
38:46How are we going to deal with it?
39:15So, history?
39:19History.
39:24I'm very impressed, Frank.
39:26Good. With your go-ahead, I'll start the mark-up.
39:29Have Birch and Rasmussen seen this?
39:30Not yet. I wanted you to be the first to have a look.
39:32I'll schedule a time for you to fill in the President.
39:34Oh, no, no, no. That is your turf, Linda. You should do that.
39:37Thank you, Frank.
39:38My pleasure. Thank you.
39:41I so apologize for everything that...
39:43No, no, no, no. It's not necessary.
39:46Now for the real meeting.
39:48So what is happening with Michael Kern?
39:52A total nightmare.
39:54You know who you're going to tap next?
39:57Frank, we still need you in the house.
39:59No, no, no. I wouldn't dream of it. We've got our education bill.
40:01I was just curious.
40:03Somehow, the rumor is flying around that we're going to nominate Catherine Durant.
40:07I'm sure you've noticed.
40:08Is the rumor true?
40:10Well, we weren't considering her at first, but the President asked me to have her vetted in case we want
40:13to go that route.
40:16Interesting.
40:17What do you think?
40:22Well, she wouldn't be my first choice.
40:24Who would be your first choice?
40:25She campaigned hard against us in the primaries.
40:27That's my reservation.
40:29But you'd show yourself above party politics, and I know she'd work all the harder for it.
40:33Decent experience, respect across the aisle.
40:36So you think we can seriously consider her?
40:40It's not the worst idea in the world.
41:02Where are you getting this shit?
41:04What?
41:05Your stories.
41:06I was just...
41:08Who are you fucking?
41:10Nobody.
41:11Oh, come on.
41:12You're a metro scrub, and now look at you.
41:15You'd have to be fucking somebody important.
41:17I'm just doing my job, Janine.
41:20Excuse me.
41:27What's that?
41:28Okay.
41:31Is this your first remote?
41:33Yeah, it's my first time.
41:44Right into the camera.
41:46Don't shift in your seat, and there's no reason to speak above a conversational volume.
41:50The mic will pick you up.
41:51Y'all ready?
41:52Yeah.
41:52All right.
41:52Don't forget to breathe.
41:57Five.
41:58Four.
42:04We'd like to welcome Zoe Barnes for the Washington Herald.
42:08Zoe, thank you for joining us.
42:11I'm very glad to be here.
42:12Thank you for having me.
42:13You wrote the education bill.
42:15The current editorial now to rant.
42:17I'm just thrilled to be reporting news that matters.
42:20And it's truly been a team effort.
42:22Everyone in the Herald hitched in.
42:24But...
42:25Yes.
42:26A lot of firsts.
42:27First national story.
42:31First...
42:55But...
42:55You're right.
42:56There's no reason.
42:58Okay.
42:59You're right.
43:00You're right.
43:01On-page byline, first TV interview, I would wave to my mom, but the cameraman said not to shift in
43:08my seat.
43:12What a rollercoaster.
43:15It really is too bad. Kern is a good man.
43:19And now, Catherine Durant.
43:20Yes. Right place, right time, I suppose.
43:24We like her, don't we?
43:25Very much.
43:26The question is, does she like Sancorp as much as we like her?
43:30I would say that that is a very good bet.
43:32But then again, I'm not a betting man.
43:34No, you always like a sure thing.
43:36When it avails itself, good night, Remy.
43:38Good night, Frank. See you around.
43:40Hopefully less than less now.
43:48Oh, no, I charged the wrong thing. What did you have again?
43:51Medium decaf latte.
43:54Bedlot deck.
44:01I don't know how to get it to go back.
44:03This one and this one.
44:05This one?
44:05No, let me do it.
44:21I'll have to ask you to stay back, Congressman.
44:23What's going on?
44:24Some guy was trying to get into the building.
44:26When we said no, he started tearing his clothes off.
44:51Nobody can hear you.
44:52Nobody cares about you.
44:55Nothing will come to us.
45:00Why don't you let these nice gentlemen take you home?
45:11Cover him up. It's cold out here.
45:14You heard the congressman?
45:16Cover him up.
45:19All right, what's nice?
45:22All right, let's go.
45:39Francis?
45:40Francis?
46:10Francis?
46:40Francis?
47:10Francis?
47:14Francis?
47:24In my children.
