1
00:00:08,458 --> 00:00:13,546
He's sleepwalking into oblivion.
Uncontrolled migration,

2
00:00:13,546 --> 00:00:15,839
hyperinflation,
rampant crime...

3
00:00:16,507 --> 00:00:19,302
Here we go.
The 5 PM.

4
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:21,721
- All good?
- Yeah, I'm good.

5
00:00:22,179 --> 00:00:24,849
Greg, considering it's my first
post-Logan election,

6
00:00:24,849 --> 00:00:27,519
and I have Cyd running around town,

7
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:30,271
spitting poison like a fucking
king cobra with an iPhone.

8
00:00:30,271 --> 00:00:33,524
I have PGN to the left of me.
I have FVA to the right.

9
00:00:33,524 --> 00:00:36,319
I gotta deliver
the best election numbers ever,

10
00:00:36,319 --> 00:00:39,781
'cause my bosses want to rip my heart
out as a peace offering

11
00:00:39,781 --> 00:00:43,409
to all Congress. So, Greg, you know,
I'm a little bit tense.

12
00:00:43,826 --> 00:00:45,412
Just a little bit tense.

13
00:00:46,037 --> 00:00:47,747
Well, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.

14
00:02:23,092 --> 00:02:24,386
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Ken.

15
00:02:24,386 --> 00:02:25,803
You good? You feeling good?

16
00:02:25,803 --> 00:02:27,305
Needs to be gangbusters tonight,
man, yeah?

17
00:02:27,305 --> 00:02:28,764
Yeah, you got it. You got it.

18
00:02:28,764 --> 00:02:30,308
All right, need those numbers, T.

19
00:02:30,308 --> 00:02:32,727
Really want to see those
numbers, Tom, okay?

20
00:02:32,727 --> 00:02:34,938
Market's watching.
First Super Bowl.

21
00:02:34,938 --> 00:02:36,439
How are we gonna cope
without the king, right?

22
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:40,526
Okay, got it, Ken. All good, all good.
Hey, Pam, how's it looking?

23
00:02:40,526 --> 00:02:41,735
A bit of crackle.

24
00:02:41,735 --> 00:02:45,073
We have a news van
and a bit of trouble in Oregon.

25
00:02:45,073 --> 00:02:46,700
Things looking fighty in Milwaukee.

26
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:49,995
Did you see the viral thing about
the woman who voted,

27
00:02:49,995 --> 00:02:52,789
like, 40 times for Jimenez
under her dead mom's name?

28
00:02:52,789 --> 00:02:54,957
We tracked her down.
Not super reliable.

29
00:02:54,957 --> 00:02:57,002
She's not a well person.

30
00:02:57,002 --> 00:02:58,920
Well, you're not a doctor, Pam.

31
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:01,505
Until you qualify,
why don't you get her on the air?

32
00:03:02,465 --> 00:03:04,383
Long night in dress shoes?

33
00:03:04,383 --> 00:03:07,679
Cyd used to go for these sort
of slip-ons with a padded sock.

34
00:03:07,679 --> 00:03:11,348
Probably 'cause she couldn't get
her cloven hooves in regular shoes.

35
00:03:12,099 --> 00:03:13,935
I'm perfectly comfortable, Pam.

36
00:03:13,935 --> 00:03:16,187
I've got good arches.
They've been remarked upon.

37
00:03:16,187 --> 00:03:19,565
- 5 PM exit polls. Come on.
- Hey, Darwin.

38
00:03:19,565 --> 00:03:22,067
You know... They're cool.

39
00:03:22,067 --> 00:03:24,737
You don't do anything
special tonight, do you?

40
00:03:24,737 --> 00:03:27,114
Just somebody who was
talking about adult diapers.

41
00:03:27,114 --> 00:03:29,784
I think there's always time
for the bathroom.

42
00:03:29,784 --> 00:03:30,827
Okay, thanks.

43
00:03:32,369 --> 00:03:36,583
Okay, excuse me.
Coming through, coming through here.

44
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:39,753
Hey, everybody,
so terms and conditions.

45
00:03:39,753 --> 00:03:42,171
Forgive me, those of you
who already know this.

46
00:03:42,171 --> 00:03:45,007
- You get some rest, though?
- No.

47
00:03:45,007 --> 00:03:48,094
- Marital strife.
- Can I hear a "got it"?

48
00:03:48,094 --> 00:03:49,762
- Got it!
- Thank you.

49
00:03:50,262 --> 00:03:53,223
- How was your night?
- With Matsson? Pretty monstrous.

50
00:03:53,223 --> 00:03:59,272
His crew knows some unseemly
venues. I danced with an old man.

51
00:04:01,231 --> 00:04:03,942
He didn't want to dance,
but they made us dance.

52
00:04:03,942 --> 00:04:05,444
He was so confused.

53
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:11,367
I drank things
that aren't normally drinks.

54
00:04:12,243 --> 00:04:14,995
And I got the impression...

55
00:04:16,455 --> 00:04:19,458
Do you know about Matsson with Shiv

56
00:04:19,458 --> 00:04:24,005
and their business alliance agreement?

57
00:04:26,508 --> 00:04:29,427
Well, I'm sure I don't know
what you're talking about.

58
00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:33,764
Okay, I didn't think so.
You want to strategize?

59
00:04:34,265 --> 00:04:36,558
You want to fry her ass up?

60
00:04:36,558 --> 00:04:41,481
Information, Greg.
It's like a bottle of fine wine.

61
00:04:42,564 --> 00:04:44,441
You store it, you hoard it,

62
00:04:45,025 --> 00:04:46,695
you save it for a special occasion,

63
00:04:47,194 --> 00:04:49,863
and then you smash someone's
fucking face in one.

64
00:04:50,365 --> 00:04:54,536
So what we're hearing is,
and remember, this is not decisive.

65
00:04:54,536 --> 00:04:57,789
What we're seeing is
Mencken may be overperforming

66
00:04:57,789 --> 00:05:00,499
in Georgia and Arizona.

67
00:05:01,251 --> 00:05:06,338
So our early read would be,
"closer than polls have suggested".

68
00:05:06,338 --> 00:05:11,176
Close, but Jimenez likely
edging on what we've seen.

69
00:05:11,176 --> 00:05:13,930
Listen, this is privileged information.

70
00:05:13,930 --> 00:05:17,766
Leaks that suppress or encourage
turnout could result in our ejection

71
00:05:17,766 --> 00:05:20,561
from the national election pool, okay?

72
00:05:20,936 --> 00:05:22,814
You heard the man. Zip it.

73
00:05:24,566 --> 00:05:26,150
That's great.

74
00:05:26,942 --> 00:05:30,279
Okay, Tom says, "exit polls say
looks like Jimenez".

75
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:33,116
- No leaks.
- That's great.

76
00:05:33,116 --> 00:05:35,785
I mean, I got four smileys from Gil.
They think they've got it.

77
00:05:35,785 --> 00:05:38,955
Well, I have got eggplant,
eggplant, flag from Mencken.

78
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:43,375
Well, two eggplants is not as much
as four smileys, obviously.

79
00:05:43,375 --> 00:05:45,836
Four smileys is symptomatic
of the complacency

80
00:05:45,836 --> 00:05:47,546
at the heart
of his out-of-touch campaign.

81
00:05:47,546 --> 00:05:50,466
Eggplant, eggplant, flag reeks
of the misogynistic bravado

82
00:05:50,466 --> 00:05:52,927
that has so repelled the median voter.

83
00:05:52,927 --> 00:05:54,845
Jesus. I feel sick.

84
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:58,183
Why? It's fun.
My team's playing your team.

85
00:05:58,183 --> 00:06:01,143
It's only spicy 'cause if my team
wins, they're gonna shoot your team.

86
00:06:01,143 --> 00:06:02,479
Okay, but what are you hearing?

87
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:04,480
Seriously, are these your vans,
the Nazi vans?

88
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,692
The fun vans?
The fun buses, yeah.

89
00:06:07,692 --> 00:06:10,111
Yeah, in Florida, they picked people
up telling them they were taking them

90
00:06:10,111 --> 00:06:11,946
to vote and then a kid got left
by the highway.

91
00:06:11,946 --> 00:06:14,741
- It's fucking kidnapping, Rome.
- It's fucking kidnapping now?

92
00:06:14,741 --> 00:06:19,203
False flag. Nice try.
Kidnapping? It's kidnapping.

93
00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:23,625
- Hey.
- Lukas. Hey!

94
00:06:23,625 --> 00:06:26,710
So, it's looking like Jimenez,
which is good for democracy

95
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:28,796
and great for us.

96
00:06:30,172 --> 00:06:33,676
So, either way, I think that
we consider releasing

97
00:06:33,676 --> 00:06:37,180
your, you know, your funky numbers
maybe tomorrow, day after tomorrow.

98
00:06:37,180 --> 00:06:38,848
Just get ahead of the numbers,

99
00:06:38,848 --> 00:06:41,308
and I can come up
with some language.

100
00:06:41,308 --> 00:06:43,852
I was talking last night

101
00:06:43,852 --> 00:06:47,231
to Oskar and Gregory Peggory
about that.

102
00:06:48,108 --> 00:06:50,484
I'm sorry, you spoke
to Greg about this?

103
00:06:50,484 --> 00:06:53,405
He was part of a conversation,
just as a normalist,

104
00:06:54,030 --> 00:06:56,740
and then I was wondering,

105
00:06:56,740 --> 00:07:02,162
maybe we keep my terrible secret
a secret, you know?

106
00:07:03,164 --> 00:07:07,501
Okay. Yeah, look,
let me have a think about that.

107
00:07:07,501 --> 00:07:11,088
I gotta take this.
I'll call you back.

108
00:07:12,215 --> 00:07:14,634
Nate, how's things
in Mission Control Denver?

109
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:16,176
You in at ATN, Shiv?

110
00:07:16,176 --> 00:07:17,887
Upstairs. Leave it to them.
Dad's rules.

111
00:07:17,887 --> 00:07:21,265
Well, they need to be covering
the intimidation. Pretty dark, Shiv.

112
00:07:21,265 --> 00:07:25,602
Who watches the watchmen?
I fucking do.

113
00:07:26,395 --> 00:07:27,731
You getting good numbers?

114
00:07:27,731 --> 00:07:30,275
Good. I'm just watching the weather.
Storm clouds in Nevada.

115
00:07:30,275 --> 00:07:32,152
We got people in line.

116
00:07:32,152 --> 00:07:35,697
Disturbance in Wisconsin,
but, yeah, yeah.

117
00:07:36,531 --> 00:07:37,948
Scared, but good.

118
00:07:39,075 --> 00:07:40,743
Precinct data is...

119
00:07:41,536 --> 00:07:43,537
Pennsylvania, Arizona could be tough.

120
00:07:43,537 --> 00:07:45,081
Let's keep this channel open

121
00:07:45,081 --> 00:07:49,209
on all things Matsson and me
and the new ATN, yeah?

122
00:07:49,209 --> 00:07:50,795
All things good.

123
00:07:50,795 --> 00:07:53,006
All right, so Jimenez wins,

124
00:07:53,006 --> 00:07:56,009
and he just waves the fucking
deal through. And then we're what?

125
00:07:56,009 --> 00:08:00,597
I guess fucking last ditch?
The board? The shareholders?

126
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:04,434
Okay, Jeryd wants face to face.

127
00:08:04,434 --> 00:08:05,518
Okay, me too?

128
00:08:05,935 --> 00:08:08,228
I doubt it. I'm asking.
Do you want to try Gil?

129
00:08:08,228 --> 00:08:10,607
- Or maybe direct Jimenez?
- Feels kind of sweaty.

130
00:08:10,607 --> 00:08:12,651
Maybe I'll wait a day.

131
00:08:12,651 --> 00:08:16,779
I guess today's the fucking day, right?

132
00:08:16,779 --> 00:08:19,198
Like, today's the day the rooster
puts his head in our hands,

133
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:21,701
and today is the moment
of maximum leverage.

134
00:08:22,117 --> 00:08:25,872
No, it looks like just me.
It's a bit tight for both of us.

135
00:08:25,872 --> 00:08:27,707
Fuck him.

136
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:29,334
All right, go, go, go. Sure.

137
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:31,168
Let me know what you come up with.

138
00:08:36,715 --> 00:08:38,134
- Hey, Rava.
- Hey, listen.

139
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:43,932
We are all okay,
but we're a bit freaked out.

140
00:08:43,932 --> 00:08:47,976
There is an SUV.
We think there's an SUV,

141
00:08:47,976 --> 00:08:52,899
and it's following.
So can we come to the office?

142
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:55,609
Because you have
good security at the office.

143
00:08:55,609 --> 00:08:58,154
- What's the license plate?
- The license...

144
00:08:58,154 --> 00:09:01,950
Is it TR...
It's probably mine.

145
00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:04,286
I didn't want Sophie to freak,
so I just actioned it.

146
00:09:07,997 --> 00:09:10,542
Oh, my God,
you're having me followed?

147
00:09:10,542 --> 00:09:15,462
The covert surveillance to show
you care? The actual fuck, Ken?

148
00:09:15,462 --> 00:09:17,798
An extra layer of bubble wrap for her
and Ivey.

149
00:09:17,798 --> 00:09:19,383
Are you guys okay? You okay?

150
00:09:19,383 --> 00:09:21,593
- Is she okay?
- She's scared, Ken.

151
00:09:23,262 --> 00:09:27,767
I am scared. I don't...
There is shit burning.

152
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:31,688
- There is intimidation.
- Relax, okay? Relax.

153
00:09:31,688 --> 00:09:35,274
Tell Sophie I love her,
and that is why I do everything I do.

154
00:09:35,817 --> 00:09:38,028
Hey, Soph?
Soph, I love you, sweetie, okay?

155
00:09:38,028 --> 00:09:39,403
Nothing's gonna happen.

156
00:09:39,403 --> 00:09:41,613
Exit polls say Jimenez, okay?

157
00:09:41,613 --> 00:09:44,742
I won't let the world push you,
okay, sweetie? Okay.

158
00:09:55,961 --> 00:09:57,213
Ken.

159
00:09:57,213 --> 00:09:59,340
Hey, man, just calling
to say good luck.

160
00:09:59,340 --> 00:10:01,175
- Great numbers.
- Thanks, man.

161
00:10:01,175 --> 00:10:04,679
And, listen, apologies
if things got a bit heated.

162
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,013
A lot of shit going down.

163
00:10:06,013 --> 00:10:09,601
Victory vans and shitheads
kicking off in Milwaukee.

164
00:10:09,601 --> 00:10:11,019
- ATN wanna cover?
- Yeah.

165
00:10:11,019 --> 00:10:16,023
I'll talk, but gotta
let them do their thing, but yeah.

166
00:10:17,442 --> 00:10:19,486
Listen, you got Daniel there?

167
00:10:19,486 --> 00:10:21,653
You know, let me see.

168
00:10:27,619 --> 00:10:29,078
Yeah, come in.

169
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:34,708
Sir, you here for Kendall Roy?

170
00:10:36,586 --> 00:10:38,587
- Hey, Kendall.
- Hey, Dan.

171
00:10:38,587 --> 00:10:41,340
Hey, man. Good luck.

172
00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:43,468
Just best of luck.

173
00:10:43,468 --> 00:10:46,096
Thanks, man. Great to speak.

174
00:10:46,096 --> 00:10:47,555
But when this is over,

175
00:10:48,181 --> 00:10:51,434
I think there needs to be a big
conversation about tech, is all I'd say.

176
00:10:51,434 --> 00:10:54,103
Great to speak.
I'm gonna put Nate back on.

177
00:10:54,103 --> 00:10:58,524
Sure, and may the best man who will
protect American jobs

178
00:10:58,524 --> 00:11:01,777
and reign in tech and is called
Daniel win, you know?

179
00:11:04,364 --> 00:11:06,615
Let's catch up.
Have a good one, man.

180
00:11:06,615 --> 00:11:08,200
Yeah, sure. Sure, man.

181
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,413
You know, tonight,
my eye is just right here,

182
00:11:11,413 --> 00:11:14,249
making sure it's fair as fuck.
All right?

183
00:11:14,249 --> 00:11:16,751
Have a good night, man.
Stay hydrated.

184
00:11:34,853 --> 00:11:37,981
- Hey, come on in.
- Thank you.

185
00:11:41,985 --> 00:11:44,988
Busy, busy. Hello, hello.
Look at you, losing it.

186
00:11:44,988 --> 00:11:48,699
- Like a massive fucking loser.
- Yeah, well, I blame you.

187
00:11:48,699 --> 00:11:50,576
Couldn't deliver Connor, huh?

188
00:11:50,576 --> 00:11:53,954
ATN scared to run all the fraud.

189
00:11:53,954 --> 00:11:56,915
Well, I keep my hands out, you know?
Fuck you. What is this?

190
00:11:56,915 --> 00:11:59,043
'Cause, you know, I'm quite busy.

191
00:11:59,043 --> 00:12:00,629
- You're busy?
- Yes, I am busy.

192
00:12:00,629 --> 00:12:03,714
I don't run around town like
some fucking food-bike guy.

193
00:12:04,381 --> 00:12:07,052
Just wanted to say a couple things.

194
00:12:09,470 --> 00:12:10,721
Very directly...

195
00:12:13,098 --> 00:12:15,309
- We still think we can win.
- Sure.

196
00:12:15,309 --> 00:12:20,357
- But I am very focused on losing.
- All right.

197
00:12:20,357 --> 00:12:23,485
Winning is easy.
Winning would take care of itself.

198
00:12:23,485 --> 00:12:29,449
But if I lose, I need to work on what
assholes would call the narrative.

199
00:12:30,407 --> 00:12:34,453
Like insurgent campaign,
unfairly maligned as extremist

200
00:12:34,453 --> 00:12:37,206
by the Coastal Masturbation Factory.

201
00:12:37,206 --> 00:12:39,792
Exactly. If I lose, I want
it correctly characterized

202
00:12:39,792 --> 00:12:43,546
as a huge victory,
over-performed, right?

203
00:12:44,129 --> 00:12:48,676
I want to be the president.
I want you to be a partner in that,

204
00:12:48,676 --> 00:12:51,346
and if it isn't tonight,
it will be next time.

205
00:12:51,346 --> 00:12:53,431
Even if you're not going
to be the president,

206
00:12:53,431 --> 00:12:55,016
you're going to be our president.

207
00:12:55,016 --> 00:12:58,144
Exactly. You, me will go far.

208
00:12:58,144 --> 00:12:59,854
Over the road and into the bar.

209
00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:15,328
So listen, at some point tonight,
could we do a chat,

210
00:13:15,996 --> 00:13:19,666
in terms of the me of things
and, like, how to play it?

211
00:13:20,332 --> 00:13:24,212
Because Matsson, he treated me
quite abominably,

212
00:13:24,212 --> 00:13:27,173
but it felt like trusting,
and he was saying a lot of things.

213
00:13:27,173 --> 00:13:29,883
Okay, enough, enough, enough.
Where's my coffee?

214
00:13:30,969 --> 00:13:33,804
- Tom, I don't do coffee anymore.
- No, Greg.

215
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:37,350
Greg, I have to be clear.
I have to.

216
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:39,226
If I get drowsy,

217
00:13:39,226 --> 00:13:43,814
and I miscall Colorado,
instability, right?

218
00:13:45,025 --> 00:13:49,403
Then the US loses credibility, China
spots an opportunity, invades Taiwan,

219
00:13:49,403 --> 00:13:53,866
tactical nukes, fucking shit goes
kablooey, and we're back to amoeba.

220
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,577
It's a long way back from pond life.

221
00:13:56,577 --> 00:13:59,539
'cause you failed to get me
a double shot, okay?

222
00:13:59,539 --> 00:14:03,500
Okay, well, do you want some
of what you asked for?

223
00:14:08,213 --> 00:14:11,509
No, I don't think so.
What do you think?

224
00:14:12,593 --> 00:14:15,055
Maybe, no, election night...

225
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:23,062
- Your call, I mean...
- Yeah, hit me.

226
00:14:23,062 --> 00:14:26,483
But this is not a thing, okay?
It's not going in a book.

227
00:14:26,483 --> 00:14:30,779
- Let's just...
- Yeah, okay. Quick as a whistle.

228
00:14:37,953 --> 00:14:40,621
What do we have here?
What's on the board?

229
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:49,380
Just rubbing the board, innocently,
simply cleaning the whiteboard here.

230
00:14:53,593 --> 00:14:55,761
- Here you go.
- No, no, not for me.

231
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:57,681
I'm just starting to feel normal
from last night.

232
00:14:57,681 --> 00:14:59,766
You'll do it with Matsson,
but not with me?

233
00:14:59,766 --> 00:15:01,685
I don't want you looking all judgy
all night. Come on.

234
00:15:01,685 --> 00:15:04,562
No, I need a clear head, and
I don't want to get addicted.

235
00:15:04,562 --> 00:15:06,855
Shut up, Greg. Don't be Mom.
Come on.

236
00:15:06,855 --> 00:15:07,981
I don't want to. Please.

237
00:15:07,981 --> 00:15:11,361
Greg, it's medically good
for your brain. It is.

238
00:15:11,361 --> 00:15:13,154
What are you saying?
All Aztecs is stupid?

239
00:15:13,154 --> 00:15:15,365
Don't be a racist little
bitch about it. Come on.

240
00:15:15,365 --> 00:15:16,825
Yeah, okay.

241
00:15:17,783 --> 00:15:21,788
What? Are you pretending?
Are you pretending to do coke?

242
00:15:21,788 --> 00:15:23,873
- Some got up.
- Fucking do it.

243
00:15:24,749 --> 00:15:26,417
There. God!

244
00:15:31,131 --> 00:15:33,466
What the fuck is that?

245
00:15:33,466 --> 00:15:36,844
I guess they were ordering some
for folks.

246
00:15:36,844 --> 00:15:38,262
I said, "Why not get you one?".

247
00:15:38,262 --> 00:15:41,308
Bodega sushi?
Are you insane?

248
00:15:41,725 --> 00:15:43,643
That's not me. That's Samson.

249
00:15:43,643 --> 00:15:47,646
No, not Samson, Greg!
Not Samson! Not!

250
00:15:48,522 --> 00:15:50,317
I want you Gregging for me.

251
00:15:50,733 --> 00:15:52,568
You're busted back
down to Greg tonight.

252
00:15:52,568 --> 00:15:55,946
Yeah, tonight, my digestive
system is basically part

253
00:15:55,946 --> 00:15:57,156
of the Constitution, okay?

254
00:15:57,156 --> 00:16:00,284
Microwave milk and ginger shots,
American bottled water,

255
00:16:00,284 --> 00:16:02,662
spaghetti, and olive oil, okay?

256
00:16:02,662 --> 00:16:04,664
- Okay?
- Okay.

257
00:16:05,832 --> 00:16:08,168
- Hey, Con.
- Tom.

258
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:11,129
Yeah, I got this crew here.

259
00:16:11,129 --> 00:16:16,717
And they're filming the stuff,
but none of it is making it on the show.

260
00:16:17,427 --> 00:16:20,471
Dude, is there any film
in these cameras?

261
00:16:20,471 --> 00:16:23,974
Yeah, I think we are planning
to feature, Con.

262
00:16:23,974 --> 00:16:26,645
Well, no, because I'm watching.

263
00:16:26,977 --> 00:16:29,063
Now, I expected to be frozen out

264
00:16:29,063 --> 00:16:31,398
by all those other mooks,
but you guys, come on.

265
00:16:31,398 --> 00:16:35,528
Give me some sugar, man.
Maybe everyone voted for me.

266
00:16:35,528 --> 00:16:37,489
- We don't know.
- Schrodinger's cat.

267
00:16:37,489 --> 00:16:39,531
Schrodinger's cat, Tom.

268
00:16:39,531 --> 00:16:44,745
Until we open the boxes, I'm just as
much president as the other two, yeah?

269
00:16:44,745 --> 00:16:47,873
Come on. If I do it,
that's the story of all time.

270
00:16:47,873 --> 00:16:50,752
Okay, I've got to go, but I'll see
what I can do.

271
00:16:50,752 --> 00:16:53,129
But I've got to go,
'cause the polls are closing.

272
00:16:55,507 --> 00:16:58,843
Okay, if it's gonna happen anywhere,
it's gonna happen in Kentucky.

273
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:03,807
Anything can happen.

274
00:17:04,264 --> 00:17:05,808
So glad I didn't drop out.

275
00:17:05,808 --> 00:17:09,562
It just makes an election so much
more interesting when you're in it.

276
00:17:09,562 --> 00:17:11,398
You gotta be in it to win it.

277
00:17:11,398 --> 00:17:14,149
And it is 7 o'clock on the East Coast,

278
00:17:14,149 --> 00:17:16,987
which means polls have just
closed in half a dozen states.

279
00:17:16,987 --> 00:17:19,197
The most closely watched states
at this hour,

280
00:17:19,197 --> 00:17:22,033
Georgia, with its 16 electoral votes,

281
00:17:22,033 --> 00:17:25,661
and Virginia with its 13,
both key battleground states.

282
00:17:25,661 --> 00:17:29,164
As of this moment, it is too early
to project a winner in either.

283
00:17:29,164 --> 00:17:32,210
But our decision desk
can announce at this hour

284
00:17:32,210 --> 00:17:36,131
that Representative Jeryd Mencken
will defeat Governor Daniel Jimenez

285
00:17:36,131 --> 00:17:39,717
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
as well as in the state of Indiana,

286
00:17:39,717 --> 00:17:42,052
where Mencken has enjoyed
a lead over Jimenez

287
00:17:42,052 --> 00:17:43,637
in the pre-election polling.

288
00:17:43,637 --> 00:17:46,808
Governor Jimenez will win
in the state of Vermont.

289
00:17:46,808 --> 00:17:49,018
No big surprises there
in the early part of the evening.

290
00:17:49,018 --> 00:17:52,063
We will need to look at more data
before we can make a projection.

291
00:17:56,985 --> 00:17:59,279
Hey, fuck Kentucky, Con!

292
00:18:00,405 --> 00:18:02,072
- No.
- Yes, fuck.

293
00:18:02,449 --> 00:18:07,329
No.
I shan't become that, no.

294
00:18:09,205 --> 00:18:11,665
Alas, Kentucky, Willa.

295
00:18:13,418 --> 00:18:15,377
Alas, vanity.

296
00:18:17,589 --> 00:18:19,757
Voters have made their voices heard.

297
00:18:19,757 --> 00:18:23,719
This could be the most important
election in our lifetime.

298
00:18:23,719 --> 00:18:25,347
So with polls about to close...

299
00:18:25,347 --> 00:18:28,308
No, I told you.
You can give it to me, Billy. Thank you.

300
00:18:30,225 --> 00:18:33,188
As we heat up, Tom, how much
do you want to give

301
00:18:33,188 --> 00:18:36,190
to a fair bit of intimidation,
his folks and ours?

302
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:40,569
So, like fire in Wisconsin,
in Milwaukee, could be nasty.

303
00:18:40,569 --> 00:18:43,865
Could be electrical failure.
Might be Menckenists.

304
00:18:43,865 --> 00:18:47,744
Camera smash,
crew harassed in Portland. That's them.

305
00:18:48,744 --> 00:18:50,329
I trust you.

306
00:18:50,329 --> 00:18:55,000
All these counties here, again,
a little board malfunction here.

307
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,713
What's he doing? What's this?
Hey, Pam?

308
00:18:58,713 --> 00:19:02,968
The touch screen. What's happening
with the touch screen?

309
00:19:03,342 --> 00:19:05,386
Tell him to stop touching
the touch screen.

310
00:19:05,386 --> 00:19:06,929
We have a replacement in place.

311
00:19:06,929 --> 00:19:08,390
- It's fine.
- It's not fine.

312
00:19:08,390 --> 00:19:11,183
You can see that it's not fine.
It's malfunctioning. Fuck!

313
00:19:13,061 --> 00:19:14,896
Touch screen's malfunctioning.

314
00:19:16,605 --> 00:19:18,440
Touch screen's malfunctioning.

315
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,486
And we're gonna zoom in.
You can see right here...

316
00:19:21,486 --> 00:19:24,988
- The board seems to be acting up.
- What's going on?

317
00:19:24,988 --> 00:19:26,908
The touch screen is malfunctioning.

318
00:19:26,908 --> 00:19:28,660
What's going on?
What the fuck is going on?

319
00:19:28,660 --> 00:19:31,495
We're on it. Graphics generator
just shat the bed.

320
00:19:31,495 --> 00:19:34,165
- Where is my touch screen?
- You're losing it, Dave.

321
00:19:34,165 --> 00:19:36,709
Don't lose it, Dave.
Don't lose it tonight, Dave.

322
00:19:36,709 --> 00:19:39,421
It is now 9 PM on the East Coast.

323
00:19:39,421 --> 00:19:41,380
Can we get an ET
on that replacement?

324
00:19:41,380 --> 00:19:43,132
What the fuck's going on
with the touch screen? Tom?

325
00:19:43,132 --> 00:19:45,719
- I'm on it. I'm all over it.
- You're not on it. Fucking get on it.

326
00:19:45,719 --> 00:19:47,845
Figure it out.
Yeah, figure it out.

327
00:19:49,221 --> 00:19:50,514
- Now.
- It's happening.

328
00:19:50,514 --> 00:19:52,726
- Ken, it's happening.
- We're about to get a new batch.

329
00:19:52,726 --> 00:19:54,769
And if we drop numbers now,
I'm gonna come down there

330
00:19:54,769 --> 00:19:56,437
and put your fucking head
through that touch screen.

331
00:19:56,437 --> 00:19:58,313
- Fix it, fix it, fix it!
- No need to catastrophize.

332
00:19:58,313 --> 00:20:00,233
Where's the touchscreen?
Is it loading up?

333
00:20:00,233 --> 00:20:01,818
- It's loaded up.
- Well, get it on air.

334
00:20:01,818 --> 00:20:04,319
We're gonna be hemorrhaging.
We're gonna be a laughing stock.

335
00:20:04,319 --> 00:20:06,740
We're on it, Tom.
No one will notice, okay?

336
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:09,868
We've done this before.
We have three, and they're all lined up.

337
00:20:09,868 --> 00:20:11,910
No one will notice?
I noticed. Am I no one?

338
00:20:11,910 --> 00:20:14,873
Do I look like no one? Do I?

339
00:20:15,289 --> 00:20:17,541
I mean, how the fuck
are we behind social media on this?

340
00:20:17,541 --> 00:20:19,044
We need to be leading this.

341
00:20:19,044 --> 00:20:22,338
Hey, Tom.
You got this fire in Wisconsin.

342
00:20:22,338 --> 00:20:23,465
You got this?

343
00:20:23,465 --> 00:20:26,175
Yes, I think we have that.
Yeah, electrical.

344
00:20:26,175 --> 00:20:28,428
Why aren't we covering, Tom?

345
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:32,057
Well, because we always
have to choose what to focus on,

346
00:20:32,057 --> 00:20:34,850
and just because something
is on fire doesn't make it new.

347
00:20:34,850 --> 00:20:37,102
- Electrical failure?
- Not what we hear.

348
00:20:37,102 --> 00:20:39,480
No, it's not what Nate hears, Tom.

349
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,316
- Well, bully for Nate.
- Hey, Tom.

350
00:20:42,316 --> 00:20:44,861
- Hey, Nate.
- We need to be all over this, Tom.

351
00:20:44,861 --> 00:20:50,033
Yeah, okay, I just think it's important
to keep our unique perspective,

352
00:20:50,033 --> 00:20:52,284
because we are getting
conflicting reporting.

353
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:55,663
What about the actual photos
I can see of it happening?

354
00:20:55,663 --> 00:20:59,041
There are many, many things
happening in this nation right now.

355
00:20:59,041 --> 00:21:00,292
There are a million data points,

356
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:03,462
and we have to select the ones
that are consequential.

357
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:06,967
If these nutjobs are going
paramilitary, we could say that.

358
00:21:07,717 --> 00:21:10,136
But yes, we just need to respect
our viewership.

359
00:21:10,136 --> 00:21:13,180
By not telling them anything
they don't want to hear?

360
00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:16,685
You guys get this about the
Antifa firebombing in Milwaukee?

361
00:21:16,685 --> 00:21:20,063
No, we hear it's his people,
Mencken's.

362
00:21:20,772 --> 00:21:24,192
Okay, when it becomes a story,
then we'll run the story.

363
00:21:24,192 --> 00:21:26,528
Well, this is happening in, what,
a vote counting center?

364
00:21:26,528 --> 00:21:28,571
Yeah, it's a story,
Tom, it's a story.

365
00:21:28,571 --> 00:21:30,991
- Do not micromanage me, please.
- Tom !

366
00:21:30,991 --> 00:21:32,575
They're evacuating.

367
00:21:32,575 --> 00:21:35,370
We've got a local chopper up
and a reporter on the way.

368
00:21:35,370 --> 00:21:38,622
Guys, I've got to manage this.
I'll keep you looped, yeah?

369
00:21:38,622 --> 00:21:40,333
Talk to Greg, yeah?

370
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:42,292
Yeah, hey, hey.

371
00:21:43,461 --> 00:21:45,170
We're not talking to Greg.

372
00:21:46,881 --> 00:21:48,466
Amateur hour down there.

373
00:21:48,466 --> 00:21:51,427
Okay, so if it happened
in Milwaukee,

374
00:21:51,427 --> 00:21:53,762
and if it's deliberate,
then it's Menckenists.

375
00:21:53,762 --> 00:21:55,724
False flag, could be.

376
00:21:55,724 --> 00:21:59,309
You can't just say false flag every time
you don't fucking agree with something.

377
00:22:00,395 --> 00:22:01,562
Okay, guys.

378
00:22:01,562 --> 00:22:03,397
We want a report about a fire
in Milwaukee,

379
00:22:03,397 --> 00:22:06,567
initially thought to have been caused
by an electrical failure,

380
00:22:06,567 --> 00:22:08,820
but now there are claims
and some counterclaims

381
00:22:08,820 --> 00:22:13,408
made by groups who are protesting
alleged voting irregularities.

382
00:22:13,408 --> 00:22:16,036
Hey, okay, well, do you know
if any of the ballots are intact?

383
00:22:16,036 --> 00:22:17,621
- It doesn't look likely.
- Where you at?

384
00:22:17,621 --> 00:22:19,164
Depends how many votes have gone.

385
00:22:19,164 --> 00:22:21,041
- But ballots have been lost?
- Yeah.

386
00:22:21,041 --> 00:22:23,918
We're chartering flights to Milwaukee.

387
00:22:23,918 --> 00:22:26,504
A ton of number crunching
by our analytics team.

388
00:22:26,504 --> 00:22:28,756
We're trying to check the
Milwaukee County voter rolls

389
00:22:28,756 --> 00:22:33,177
to see who's voted so far,
but can you help with the narrative?

390
00:22:33,177 --> 00:22:34,346
Yeah.

391
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,515
Have you got all the bodies
that you need?

392
00:22:37,515 --> 00:22:40,392
Yeah, yeah.
We have a SWAT team on it.

393
00:22:40,392 --> 00:22:42,687
They're interfacing
with the Wisconsin team.

394
00:22:48,652 --> 00:22:51,445
Apparently he's just touching too hard
for it.

395
00:22:52,196 --> 00:22:53,907
He's touching with...

396
00:22:53,907 --> 00:22:58,328
No, Rome. Roman,
no brass on the battlefield, okay?

397
00:22:58,328 --> 00:23:00,746
That's one of Logan's
Geneva Conventions. Please, please.

398
00:23:00,746 --> 00:23:02,207
They evacuated the count center?

399
00:23:02,207 --> 00:23:05,167
I don't know. I'm down on my last
fucking touchscreen.

400
00:23:05,501 --> 00:23:06,543
What's going on?

401
00:23:06,543 --> 00:23:09,171
Nothing. Tom just thinks that
China's hacking his tech.

402
00:23:09,171 --> 00:23:11,715
I do not, but I do think he would
be more comfortable upstairs.

403
00:23:11,715 --> 00:23:14,511
Greg, will you please
help them upstairs?

404
00:23:14,511 --> 00:23:16,763
I think you would be more
comfortable upstairs.

405
00:23:16,763 --> 00:23:19,306
- Hello, Tom!
- Can I just wrangle you?

406
00:23:19,306 --> 00:23:22,519
- Wrangle?
- The ballots are still in there?

407
00:23:22,519 --> 00:23:24,269
- Okay, where are we?
- What's going on?

408
00:23:24,269 --> 00:23:28,233
Greg, can you please take
the VIPs to an upstairs setting?

409
00:23:28,233 --> 00:23:29,818
Can I grab the three of you...

410
00:23:29,818 --> 00:23:32,903
Tom! Reporter on the way.
Three, four out.

411
00:23:32,903 --> 00:23:37,117
- All right, all right.
- Tom? Can I have a word?

412
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:41,996
- Won't take long, Tom.
- I really can't.

413
00:23:42,414 --> 00:23:48,210
I know. Can you please?
I just wanted to apologize

414
00:23:48,210 --> 00:23:51,172
for some of the things
that I said last night, okay?

415
00:23:51,588 --> 00:23:53,300
Okay.

416
00:23:53,716 --> 00:23:58,805
And to, you know,
give you an opportunity to...

417
00:24:00,973 --> 00:24:03,476
Well, I can't do it to that, so...

418
00:24:05,728 --> 00:24:08,355
How should I frame my face? Huh?

419
00:24:08,856 --> 00:24:11,818
You scared that I'm gonna
blab about you and Matsson?

420
00:24:11,818 --> 00:24:14,528
- Jesus fucking Christ, Tom.
- What?

421
00:24:15,155 --> 00:24:17,740
- My father just died, yeah?
- Yeah.

422
00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:19,742
My father just died.

423
00:24:20,452 --> 00:24:23,747
So maybe, you know, I can
get a little consideration on that

424
00:24:23,747 --> 00:24:26,875
and for, you know, a number of reasons
I've been feeling off-kilter,

425
00:24:26,875 --> 00:24:29,002
so I'm sorry, but...

426
00:24:29,002 --> 00:24:31,880
- Sure.
- What does that mean? Sure?

427
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,592
- It means you hated him, Siobhan.
- I didn't hate him. I loved him.

428
00:24:35,592 --> 00:24:38,887
Well, it was complicated,
but sometimes you certainly hated him,

429
00:24:38,887 --> 00:24:42,307
and you also sort of killed him.

430
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:47,603
- What the...
- Sort of.

431
00:24:47,603 --> 00:24:51,023
Yeah, sort of. That's the part
that I'm gonna remember.

432
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:52,608
Thanks. No, thank you.

433
00:24:52,608 --> 00:24:55,820
Okay, you know what?
Actually, also, I'm pregnant.

434
00:24:55,820 --> 00:24:57,238
Yeah, by you.

435
00:24:57,780 --> 00:25:02,201
And there's never a good time
to say, but you need to know,

436
00:25:02,201 --> 00:25:05,205
so okay. Now you know.

437
00:25:06,039 --> 00:25:07,998
Right.

438
00:25:14,213 --> 00:25:15,506
Is that even true?

439
00:25:18,510 --> 00:25:19,968
What?

440
00:25:20,469 --> 00:25:21,762
Like, is that even true?

441
00:25:21,762 --> 00:25:25,642
Or is that, like, a new position
or a tactic? Or what?

442
00:25:32,815 --> 00:25:33,942
Okay.

443
00:25:47,539 --> 00:25:49,957
Wait, so we have an area.
Is it upstairs?

444
00:25:51,418 --> 00:25:56,797
Yeah. Uh-huh, yeah.
I think things are tough.

445
00:25:58,340 --> 00:26:03,346
- With my situation and Tom.
- You want us to have him killed?

446
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:06,558
- I could do that.
- Yeah, maybe.

447
00:26:06,558 --> 00:26:11,479
I mean, I think
he's just a piece of filth,

448
00:26:11,479 --> 00:26:16,109
and there's stuff I would
like to tell you, but...

449
00:26:16,109 --> 00:26:20,864
Hey, I've been trying to get them to
move not in an aggressive way, but...

450
00:26:22,531 --> 00:26:24,658
Yeah, I mean, you just can't trust him.

451
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:26,952
We got you.

452
00:26:26,952 --> 00:26:29,038
In terms of the fire,
it is still burning,

453
00:26:29,038 --> 00:26:32,375
and crews are struggling to contain,
let alone extinguish.

454
00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:34,793
Are there any reports
so far of injuries?

455
00:26:34,793 --> 00:26:38,840
None for now, fortunately. The building
was evacuated immediately

456
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,884
and all workers
have been accounted for.

457
00:26:40,884 --> 00:26:43,470
Well, I'm gonna sneak
now that we're all in here.

458
00:26:44,804 --> 00:26:47,432
Who's responsible?
That's the story, right?

459
00:26:47,432 --> 00:26:49,017
Who burnt this place down?

460
00:26:49,017 --> 00:26:51,268
Yeah, to me, it always comes down
to a couple of favorites,

461
00:26:51,268 --> 00:26:52,728
the blacks or the Jews.

462
00:26:54,230 --> 00:26:57,359
- I'm kidding. It's a fucking joke.
- Will you please...

463
00:26:58,860 --> 00:27:01,695
Got it. Hey, Connor.

464
00:27:02,488 --> 00:27:04,031
Rome.

465
00:27:05,074 --> 00:27:06,993
Jeryd isn't picking up.

466
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:10,746
Yeah.
It's a busy night for him.

467
00:27:10,746 --> 00:27:13,415
Because I wondered
if what we talked about

468
00:27:13,415 --> 00:27:16,210
might still be on offer,
ambassadorship wise.

469
00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:19,338
Well, that was kind
of a yesterday offer, Connor.

470
00:27:19,338 --> 00:27:20,840
You know if he doesn't make this,

471
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,093
you're gonna be partially responsible.
I hope you're cool with that.

472
00:27:23,093 --> 00:27:25,512
Rome, I spent, like,
a hundred mil here.

473
00:27:25,512 --> 00:27:28,180
Couldn't I get a sniff
of even a little guy?

474
00:27:28,180 --> 00:27:30,891
Organize a little coup
down in old Peru?

475
00:27:30,891 --> 00:27:32,643
Put me in a Van to Tajikistan?

476
00:27:32,643 --> 00:27:34,978
Couldn't I just be our fun guy
in Uruguay?

477
00:27:34,978 --> 00:27:37,147
Your rhymes are compelling,
but what's in it for him, Con?

478
00:27:37,147 --> 00:27:41,026
Maybe just one of the finest political
operators of his generation

479
00:27:41,026 --> 00:27:42,153
sorting shit out.

480
00:27:42,153 --> 00:27:45,281
- I'll get back to you.
- Just this one.

481
00:27:46,116 --> 00:27:48,033
Every four years, in fact,

482
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:50,619
it's probably going to come down
to a handful of states

483
00:27:50,619 --> 00:27:55,208
like Wisconsin, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.

484
00:27:55,208 --> 00:27:59,003
Ignore the narratives early on
and just realize

485
00:27:59,003 --> 00:28:00,879
that we're going to be in
for a dogfight,

486
00:28:00,879 --> 00:28:03,215
for a late night in those last couple
of states.

487
00:28:03,215 --> 00:28:05,217
It is 11 PM on the East Coast.

488
00:28:05,217 --> 00:28:08,013
Polls have just closed
in four more key states.

489
00:28:08,013 --> 00:28:09,556
Okay, thanks.

490
00:28:09,556 --> 00:28:11,182
The ATN decision desk
can now project that...

491
00:28:11,182 --> 00:28:14,019
So under state law,
the vote can't be certified

492
00:28:14,019 --> 00:28:16,021
until the absentee ballots are counted.

493
00:28:16,021 --> 00:28:20,734
So no Wisconsin result is valid
until the absentee ballots are counted.

494
00:28:20,734 --> 00:28:24,112
- And how does Daniel feel?
- Confident, but terrified.

495
00:28:24,112 --> 00:28:26,655
I don't know, is there a name for that
feeling?

496
00:28:26,655 --> 00:28:28,407
Cuspy?

497
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:31,161
Rome, so under Wisconsin law,
the vote can't be certified.

498
00:28:31,161 --> 00:28:34,080
Mencken says Wisconsin's done.
That's their position.

499
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,833
But, well, no, there's, like, 100 000
absentee Milwaukee ballots missing.

500
00:28:38,293 --> 00:28:40,253
So we have to figure out a way
to go forward.

501
00:28:40,253 --> 00:28:42,838
Well, go forward to undermine
Mencken's lead?

502
00:28:42,838 --> 00:28:46,133
- Does he have a lead?
- Yep, yes.

503
00:28:46,133 --> 00:28:50,387
An artificial lead with 100 000
Milwaukee absentee ballots missing.

504
00:28:50,387 --> 00:28:52,389
Every vote must be counted.

505
00:28:53,391 --> 00:28:54,851
I think she's right.

506
00:28:54,851 --> 00:28:58,896
Well, yeah, okay, but we can count
the votes that we have.

507
00:28:58,896 --> 00:29:01,774
However, unfortunately,
some are lost, so...

508
00:29:01,774 --> 00:29:03,735
Unfortunately some are lost?

509
00:29:03,735 --> 00:29:05,944
Meaning what?
Fascist fuckheads burnt them.

510
00:29:05,944 --> 00:29:08,655
We literally do not know that.
It could very easily be your fucks.

511
00:29:08,655 --> 00:29:10,366
You're making hay
for political violence.

512
00:29:10,366 --> 00:29:12,661
Or your guys knew
they were going to lose,

513
00:29:12,661 --> 00:29:15,038
so they did something crazy to throw it
into question and get a revote.

514
00:29:15,038 --> 00:29:17,874
- You don't believe that.
- Yeah, maybe I do. I don't know.

515
00:29:17,874 --> 00:29:20,961
Jimenez is gonna take Pennsylvania
and Michigan and Arizona,

516
00:29:20,961 --> 00:29:23,004
so I don't know why you're getting
so fucking uppity about this shit.

517
00:29:23,004 --> 00:29:25,047
Why are you getting so uppity
about this shit if you're so confident?

518
00:29:25,047 --> 00:29:27,049
Because if Mencken wins,
it's the end of the world, okay?

519
00:29:27,049 --> 00:29:28,802
I'd like a little fucking cushion.

520
00:29:28,802 --> 00:29:31,762
Jimenez won't block the GoJo deal,
so fuck the guy, right?

521
00:29:32,304 --> 00:29:36,351
Who knows? Maybe he would.
We cannot let that be the thing...

522
00:29:37,267 --> 00:29:39,521
That's not the thing, right, Ken?

523
00:29:44,651 --> 00:29:46,610
I don't know.

524
00:29:47,736 --> 00:29:49,948
- Ken...
- I don't know.

525
00:29:50,364 --> 00:29:51,741
Don't get cynical.

526
00:29:52,826 --> 00:29:55,494
Not cynical, no, it's just...

527
00:29:56,620 --> 00:29:59,915
What's happening is happening.
I'm a realist.

528
00:30:00,791 --> 00:30:02,876
Yeah, says a man who'd cut
his son's throat

529
00:30:02,876 --> 00:30:04,296
and then eat him on the high pass.

530
00:30:04,296 --> 00:30:06,798
- We can all say nasty shit.
- Jesus fucking Christ.

531
00:30:06,798 --> 00:30:09,467
Hey, so, FVA is saying
they have enough vote reported

532
00:30:09,467 --> 00:30:13,012
to call Wisconsin, so Freedom Voice
America and VariNews are calling.

533
00:30:13,012 --> 00:30:14,139
Great, the maniacs.

534
00:30:14,472 --> 00:30:16,766
Well, can't get out-flanked,
we need to be fast,

535
00:30:16,766 --> 00:30:18,434
so I think we should call it, right?

536
00:30:18,434 --> 00:30:21,229
No, no, no!

537
00:30:21,229 --> 00:30:23,188
Tom, what is, an independent...

538
00:30:23,188 --> 00:30:25,816
Can you get us
Decision Desk Darwin ?

539
00:30:25,816 --> 00:30:27,276
Yep.

540
00:30:27,276 --> 00:30:30,487
I want to say a few words about
the emerging situation in Milwaukee,

541
00:30:30,988 --> 00:30:35,367
the situation the American people
are watching with increasing concern.

542
00:30:35,367 --> 00:30:37,329
We have a process...

543
00:30:37,329 --> 00:30:40,206
Respect the process,
count every vote.

544
00:30:40,206 --> 00:30:42,250
He's so fucking dull.

545
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:46,670
Flop your dick out,
pop a nut, do something.

546
00:30:47,297 --> 00:30:50,799
That decision will have no legitimacy
if it does not account

547
00:30:50,799 --> 00:30:53,053
for all the ballots cast.

548
00:30:53,053 --> 00:30:54,386
Okay, Dar, thank you,

549
00:30:54,386 --> 00:30:56,431
and we have some thoughts
and some questions.

550
00:30:56,431 --> 00:30:57,682
Thank you, Darwin.

551
00:30:57,682 --> 00:31:00,434
Do you have a result
as it stands in Wisconsin?

552
00:31:01,394 --> 00:31:04,021
- We've tallied the vote totals so far.
- Yeah, I know, and?

553
00:31:04,021 --> 00:31:06,274
Margin for Mencken is significant.

554
00:31:06,274 --> 00:31:09,361
Couldn't be made up by outstanding,
existing, uncounted votes,

555
00:31:09,361 --> 00:31:10,528
only the ones destroyed.

556
00:31:10,528 --> 00:31:13,739
Okay, and we're not waiting
for burned votes, so we call it.

557
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:16,075
- Right?
- I think they have to hold it again.

558
00:31:16,075 --> 00:31:17,702
A revote.

559
00:31:17,702 --> 00:31:21,373
I would say revote
is incredibly rare and complex,

560
00:31:21,373 --> 00:31:23,123
because while we theoretically know

561
00:31:23,123 --> 00:31:25,668
everyone who requested
an absentee ballot,

562
00:31:25,668 --> 00:31:28,505
we don't entirely know
how many turned them in,

563
00:31:28,505 --> 00:31:32,092
and there's nothing in Wisconsin law
that really covers what to do.

564
00:31:32,092 --> 00:31:34,719
Exactly. You can't do it. Boom.
Mencken, thank you.

565
00:31:34,719 --> 00:31:38,139
But of course, the team knows.

566
00:31:38,139 --> 00:31:41,434
We know how the missing votes would
have broken down.

567
00:31:41,434 --> 00:31:42,601
Well, they're gone.

568
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:44,436
There's no way to know
what was on those ballots.

569
00:31:44,436 --> 00:31:46,605
Well, we do know,
because past elections,

570
00:31:46,605 --> 00:31:48,941
Milwaukee overwhelmingly votes Democrat.

571
00:31:48,941 --> 00:31:51,403
- But you don't actually know.
- Sure.

572
00:31:51,403 --> 00:31:54,990
- I just basically do know.
- We do know.

573
00:31:54,990 --> 00:31:58,617
Because you're so plugged in, you
know how all the little peasants vote?

574
00:31:58,617 --> 00:32:00,495
This is the grown-ups' table,
be serious.

575
00:32:00,495 --> 00:32:02,204
This is serious.
Ballots get lost every election.

576
00:32:02,204 --> 00:32:04,540
- You can't get burnt ballots back.
- Bullshit. Just bullshit.

577
00:32:04,540 --> 00:32:08,419
It's full of fucking bullshit.
What?

578
00:32:08,419 --> 00:32:11,214
- You sound a little unhinged.
- You fucking watch it, Tom.

579
00:32:12,257 --> 00:32:15,801
There's no way to say in here
how people would have voted.

580
00:32:15,801 --> 00:32:18,305
You want to just run your model
and not bother with all the people?

581
00:32:18,305 --> 00:32:20,764
We're saying, historically,
people overwhelmingly...

582
00:32:20,764 --> 00:32:23,100
Historically, people used to burn
witches. We should do that?

583
00:32:23,100 --> 00:32:24,893
Burn witches?
Rome, look!

584
00:32:24,893 --> 00:32:29,064
We just know that the fire would have
destroyed a lot of Jimenez's ballots.

585
00:32:29,064 --> 00:32:31,650
So the fire favors GOP,
claims mad witch.

586
00:32:31,650 --> 00:32:34,278
- We just know.
- We're not gonna rerun the election.

587
00:32:34,278 --> 00:32:36,572
And if the right gets
wrongly blamed for this,

588
00:32:36,572 --> 00:32:39,659
what would that do? If the left does,
could get nasty.

589
00:32:39,659 --> 00:32:42,828
- Where are you going?
- I am going to the bathroom to shit.

590
00:32:42,828 --> 00:32:44,623
Would you like me to livestream it?

591
00:32:46,166 --> 00:32:48,001
Ken, you want to weigh in?

592
00:32:48,001 --> 00:32:50,837
Mark Raven had had some thoughts
about what we've been seeing.

593
00:32:50,837 --> 00:32:54,381
- I just think it's hard.
- But we know. We just do.

594
00:32:54,381 --> 00:32:58,345
That if the lost votes were counted,
Jimenez would take the state.

595
00:32:58,345 --> 00:33:01,556
Mark is commenting directly.
ATN voice.

596
00:33:03,682 --> 00:33:06,852
Isn't this funny?
With polls which undercount support

597
00:33:06,852 --> 00:33:08,979
for traditional values.

598
00:33:09,606 --> 00:33:12,274
So, yeah, maybe some of the crazies
heard they were underperforming

599
00:33:12,274 --> 00:33:15,111
and decided to stop the counting
and destroy the evidence.

600
00:33:15,111 --> 00:33:18,198
And so, yeah, you just stay quiet.

601
00:33:18,198 --> 00:33:19,491
Roman sent talking points.

602
00:33:19,491 --> 00:33:22,034
We'll guess what we think was
on those ballots.

603
00:33:22,034 --> 00:33:23,535
- We'll decide, yeah?
- Is he down there?

604
00:33:23,535 --> 00:33:24,746
They know best, right?

605
00:33:24,746 --> 00:33:27,414
And you'll eat what's for dinner
because they don't really care

606
00:33:27,414 --> 00:33:30,084
for folks who answer back
or ask too many questions. Shut up!

607
00:33:30,084 --> 00:33:32,378
Innumerate residuum.

608
00:33:32,378 --> 00:33:34,089
We'll figure it out and issue you

609
00:33:34,089 --> 00:33:37,925
with your new government to march into
your homes and take whatever we want

610
00:33:37,925 --> 00:33:40,053
in the way of your
mechanisms of self-defense

611
00:33:40,053 --> 00:33:41,972
and tell your son
she's actually your daughter

612
00:33:41,972 --> 00:33:43,682
or the other way around.

613
00:33:43,682 --> 00:33:46,142
Hey, Shiv, do you mind
actually not going on the floor?

614
00:33:46,142 --> 00:33:49,144
- It's all just peachy.
- Shiv!

615
00:33:50,522 --> 00:33:52,857
And the new president is opening
up his borders to his friends.

616
00:33:52,857 --> 00:33:55,527
Bullshit, Roman, fuck you.

617
00:33:55,944 --> 00:33:57,903
It's obvious, painful,
we need to be smarter than this,

618
00:33:57,903 --> 00:34:01,157
better than this, we need
a fucking opposing viewpoint.

619
00:34:03,450 --> 00:34:04,911
Do we call security?

620
00:34:06,787 --> 00:34:08,872
Sorry, you can't come down here.

621
00:34:08,872 --> 00:34:11,458
- It's not me.
- Hey, Lukas.

622
00:34:11,835 --> 00:34:13,211
What the fuck is going on?

623
00:34:13,211 --> 00:34:14,920
Yeah, great fucking question.

624
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,675
- Powerful commentary, huh?
- I don't feel good necessarily.

625
00:34:19,134 --> 00:34:20,468
Shucks.

626
00:34:21,845 --> 00:34:24,054
Is it okay?
Do I need to hustle?

627
00:34:24,054 --> 00:34:28,101
Do I need to get ready to be cozy
with this fucking Mr. Scary?

628
00:34:28,101 --> 00:34:29,936
No, no, I can handle it.

629
00:34:29,936 --> 00:34:33,273
Greg tells me it's getting
kind of hairy in there.

630
00:34:33,273 --> 00:34:35,817
Don't let him break my toy, Shiv, okay?

631
00:34:35,817 --> 00:34:37,902
Okay. I'll be in touch.

632
00:34:37,902 --> 00:34:40,363
Sorry, we just need you
off the floor if that's okay.

633
00:34:40,363 --> 00:34:41,697
Yeah, got a minute?

634
00:34:43,491 --> 00:34:45,493
And now, apparently
the Democrats are accusing

635
00:34:45,493 --> 00:34:47,621
this fire of being biased.

636
00:34:47,621 --> 00:34:51,123
That's right, yeah, that sounds pretty
much something out of their camp.

637
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:53,792
It only burned Democratic votes, yeah?

638
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:56,920
You know, it's one
of those picky fires.

639
00:35:00,175 --> 00:35:01,885
- Come on in.
- Yeah.

640
00:35:03,635 --> 00:35:06,805
Yeah, just wanted
to check in, you know?

641
00:35:06,805 --> 00:35:09,976
- It's been busy, so...
- Right, yeah, on election day.

642
00:35:11,185 --> 00:35:12,312
Yeah.

643
00:35:12,770 --> 00:35:16,524
So how was your night last night
with Lukas?

644
00:35:18,693 --> 00:35:23,281
Shiv, I went for a drink with him.
That's not my fault.

645
00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:30,121
Do you find me attractive, Gregory?

646
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:37,503
I don't think of things such as that.

647
00:35:38,380 --> 00:35:40,714
I thought you were
a "disgusting brother".

648
00:35:40,714 --> 00:35:42,841
Was that too disgusting for you?

649
00:35:43,801 --> 00:35:46,011
This is not appropriate.

650
00:35:49,224 --> 00:35:51,893
Yeah, I'm sorry...

651
00:35:51,893 --> 00:35:54,020
'Cause I'm just letting you know

652
00:35:54,521 --> 00:35:58,357
that if you try to fuck me,
I'll kill you.

653
00:36:01,861 --> 00:36:03,279
Got it.

654
00:36:03,863 --> 00:36:05,949
Got it, sorry, yeah.

655
00:36:07,158 --> 00:36:11,621
I guess my only question would be

656
00:36:12,163 --> 00:36:16,583
if anything did come to pass in terms
of you and he,

657
00:36:18,377 --> 00:36:20,462
you know, silence is golden.

658
00:36:23,341 --> 00:36:24,925
Like how golden?

659
00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:30,764
- Is there an offer?
- Yeah.

660
00:36:31,683 --> 00:36:34,102
How about I offer for you to keep
all your internal organs

661
00:36:34,102 --> 00:36:36,813
rather than I pull them out
your asshole?

662
00:36:39,816 --> 00:36:43,777
Go on, you're lumber.
Keep your snout out.

663
00:36:47,282 --> 00:36:51,828
Simultaneously destroying diversity
of opinion wherever possible.

664
00:36:53,371 --> 00:36:57,208
Hey, guess what?
Mencken will block the deal.

665
00:36:58,417 --> 00:36:59,753
Sraight up, he'll kill it.

666
00:36:59,753 --> 00:37:01,921
If he wins, he'll refer it to FTC, whatever,

667
00:37:01,921 --> 00:37:04,673
new law, foreign ownership tightening.

668
00:37:04,673 --> 00:37:08,136
He'll screw it up in exchange
for our support tonight.

669
00:37:08,136 --> 00:37:11,472
In so many words?

670
00:37:11,472 --> 00:37:13,515
Those words.
Shall I get Tom?

671
00:37:13,850 --> 00:37:17,186
Shall I get the human abacus,
shall I? Let's do it.

672
00:37:18,187 --> 00:37:19,355
This is good news.

673
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,990
Hey, hey.
So, thanks for whatever.

674
00:37:28,990 --> 00:37:32,661
We have the votes,
so can't rerun fairly

675
00:37:32,661 --> 00:37:36,164
and can't let lefty terrorism
affect this, so let's call it.

676
00:37:36,164 --> 00:37:39,583
On what precedent?
By what authority?

677
00:37:40,125 --> 00:37:43,004
By the power of me,
the CEO of Waystar,

678
00:37:43,004 --> 00:37:45,715
telling you what to put on the telebox
mouth people.

679
00:37:46,256 --> 00:37:48,760
I don't think we can do that, guys.

680
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,345
I think we can do it, Dar.

681
00:37:50,345 --> 00:37:53,932
If we call it, and the others
went his way...

682
00:37:53,932 --> 00:37:56,225
Right, well, look, there
are still outstanding states.

683
00:37:56,225 --> 00:37:58,477
There's Michigan,
Ohio, Georgia, Arizona.

684
00:37:58,477 --> 00:38:00,313
It's really not that big a deal.
It's one state.

685
00:38:00,313 --> 00:38:03,775
I'm worried it's not a decision
that I could necessarily...

686
00:38:03,775 --> 00:38:06,403
Yeah, thank you, and everyone
respects you, Darwin,

687
00:38:06,403 --> 00:38:08,195
but this isn't actually
a numbers thing.

688
00:38:08,195 --> 00:38:10,364
I mean, the Wisconsin
Elections Commission,

689
00:38:10,364 --> 00:38:13,243
the Milwaukee Election Commission
will go to court,

690
00:38:13,243 --> 00:38:17,705
and the camps will litigate it,
and it'll be a jurisdiction fight

691
00:38:17,705 --> 00:38:20,125
that I think Mencken might shake,
but, you know, we can't...

692
00:38:20,125 --> 00:38:23,877
Yeah, that's great,
but I'm just gonna say we're good,

693
00:38:23,877 --> 00:38:25,297
and that's on me.

694
00:38:25,297 --> 00:38:28,216
The votes that exist have been tallied,
and that gives Mencken the state.

695
00:38:28,216 --> 00:38:31,260
But you don't make the call.
I make the call.

696
00:38:31,260 --> 00:38:32,637
We're gonna make the call together.

697
00:38:32,637 --> 00:38:35,181
You can't make the call
till I make the call.

698
00:38:35,181 --> 00:38:37,391
Okay, so, and I'm not
gonna make you do anything.

699
00:38:37,391 --> 00:38:40,812
This is the situation in Wisconsin.
How would you feel

700
00:38:40,812 --> 00:38:43,481
if we were to not call it,
call it, but...

701
00:38:43,481 --> 00:38:46,192
Like, pending.
We could call it pending.

702
00:38:46,192 --> 00:38:47,652
You could even explain it.

703
00:38:47,652 --> 00:38:50,487
We can get a camera on you
to explain it to people.

704
00:38:56,578 --> 00:38:58,121
I could explain.

705
00:38:59,122 --> 00:39:02,792
And could there be a graphic
that makes it clear the call

706
00:39:02,792 --> 00:39:07,212
isn't a "call" call?

707
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:09,007
Pending call.

708
00:39:15,805 --> 00:39:19,017
- All right, so...
- Yeah? Satisfied?

709
00:39:19,017 --> 00:39:20,894
- We can.
- Great.

710
00:39:23,521 --> 00:39:26,398
- What's up?
- You okay?

711
00:39:27,483 --> 00:39:29,986
There's something in my eyes.

712
00:39:31,488 --> 00:39:33,031
Greg. Hey, wasabi.

713
00:39:33,531 --> 00:39:36,950
Is it wasabi?
Is wasabi in my eyes?

714
00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:40,330
- I've got wasabi in my eyes?
- Wait, wait, wait.

715
00:39:42,206 --> 00:39:44,166
No, it's gone more in!

716
00:39:44,166 --> 00:39:46,168
- What's going on?
- It's on my fingers.

717
00:39:46,168 --> 00:39:48,672
What'd you do to him?

718
00:39:48,672 --> 00:39:51,216
Greg!
Get some water or something, Greg!

719
00:39:52,676 --> 00:39:54,803
Fuck me slowly, this smarts.

720
00:39:54,803 --> 00:39:57,389
Greg, put water in.
Put water in.

721
00:39:58,389 --> 00:40:01,850
That's lemon!
It's lemon, Greg!

722
00:40:01,850 --> 00:40:04,896
- That's clear. It's La Croix.
- Greg, what are you doing?

723
00:40:04,896 --> 00:40:09,609
- It's lemony!
- Jesus H. Christ.

724
00:40:09,609 --> 00:40:11,944
No, it's natural, like medical.

725
00:40:11,944 --> 00:40:13,445
Give it to me.

726
00:40:13,445 --> 00:40:16,115
It's not that lemony.
It's just a hint of lemon.

727
00:40:16,115 --> 00:40:18,285
Darwin, you good to call it?

728
00:40:18,285 --> 00:40:20,160
He can't fucking call it, Rome.

729
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,914
We're calling it, Shiv.
He just called it, okay?

730
00:40:23,914 --> 00:40:29,713
Greg, do not put any more lemon
water or wasabi in his eyes, okay?

731
00:40:34,509 --> 00:40:36,469
Hey, Con, you shouldn't really
be in here.

732
00:40:36,469 --> 00:40:38,555
And a very good evening to you too.

733
00:40:38,555 --> 00:40:41,015
- Hey, Presidente.
- Rome. Sweetheart, one second.

734
00:40:41,015 --> 00:40:42,809
Would you wait over here
for me a second?

735
00:40:42,809 --> 00:40:45,310
Fellas, would you wait over here
for me a second?

736
00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:49,857
Rome. How about I concede
in his direction?

737
00:40:51,067 --> 00:40:53,485
I scratch his balls,
he scratches mine.

738
00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:57,490
That's interesting. Perhaps-ish.
Let me check on that.

739
00:40:57,490 --> 00:40:59,825
- Perhaps-ish?
- Perhaps-ish, yeah. Come on.

740
00:41:00,619 --> 00:41:04,623
Pam, we're calling Wisconsin
for Mencken. Get the graphics up.

741
00:41:04,623 --> 00:41:07,751
Dave, let me know we're five out
from calling Wisconsin.

742
00:41:07,751 --> 00:41:10,252
All right, we are calling Wisconsin
for Mencken, five minutes.

743
00:41:10,252 --> 00:41:11,963
Is that graphic ready?

744
00:41:11,963 --> 00:41:13,797
There is a big old call
to make right now,

745
00:41:13,797 --> 00:41:17,844
and that is ATN is projecting that
Jeryd Mencken has won

746
00:41:17,844 --> 00:41:19,136
the state of Wisconsin.

747
00:41:19,136 --> 00:41:22,932
We've been reporting on that fire
in the Milwaukee Vote Count Center.

748
00:41:22,932 --> 00:41:27,394
Nonetheless, our decision desk
is confident in making this call.

749
00:41:27,394 --> 00:41:30,522
Jeryd Mencken has won the state
of Wisconsin,

750
00:41:30,522 --> 00:41:34,109
and there goes the blue wall.
That's 10 electoral votes.

751
00:41:34,109 --> 00:41:37,030
That brings Mencken up to 246...

752
00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:39,783
Okay, man. Okay,
there's something there.

753
00:41:40,449 --> 00:41:41,868
Sordid backseat fuck job.

754
00:41:43,203 --> 00:41:44,496
Tell me more.

755
00:41:44,496 --> 00:41:46,205
He wants to keep up the momentum.

756
00:41:46,205 --> 00:41:51,127
He is now 24 electoral votes away
from winning the presidency.

757
00:41:51,127 --> 00:41:54,381
- Do you really want it?
- Slovenia, Willa.

758
00:41:58,592 --> 00:42:02,180
I am torn, and he's very right-wing.

759
00:42:04,683 --> 00:42:08,979
But Vienna for lunch,
Venice for dinner.

760
00:42:09,603 --> 00:42:11,564
And Dubrovnik for breakfast.

761
00:42:12,565 --> 00:42:15,984
My fellow Americans, it's becoming
clear tonight

762
00:42:15,984 --> 00:42:17,903
that as far as we can tell,

763
00:42:17,903 --> 00:42:21,992
Mr. Jeryd Mencken will likely be the
next president of the United States.

764
00:42:21,992 --> 00:42:24,785
And I, for one, wish him well.

765
00:42:24,785 --> 00:42:26,621
Conner was running for president?

766
00:42:26,621 --> 00:42:29,165
Although I set out a clear
and compelling path,

767
00:42:29,165 --> 00:42:33,210
America, under divine wisdom,
has chosen to take another.

768
00:42:33,795 --> 00:42:35,629
Well, good luck.

769
00:42:36,130 --> 00:42:40,176
And I'd like to say to my first running
mate, who I will not dignify

770
00:42:40,176 --> 00:42:44,264
with a name check, but had
that woman not dropped out,

771
00:42:44,264 --> 00:42:47,559
and then had I not had to replace
her with another figure

772
00:42:47,559 --> 00:42:50,352
who turned out not to be able
to bear the weight of public scrutiny,

773
00:42:50,352 --> 00:42:56,025
had I not been betrayed by those
two jackrabbits, who knows?

774
00:42:57,067 --> 00:43:00,488
Politics of envy, ugly game.

775
00:43:01,489 --> 00:43:04,618
I happen to be a billionaire. Sorry.

776
00:43:05,702 --> 00:43:07,995
But honestly, America, you flunked it.

777
00:43:07,995 --> 00:43:12,207
I guess you're gonna have to find some
other poor mook's paps to suckle on.

778
00:43:12,876 --> 00:43:16,713
The corrupt bipartisan system zombie
marches on.

779
00:43:16,713 --> 00:43:19,841
And so I call out to my friends
tonight, to my people,

780
00:43:19,841 --> 00:43:23,511
I say, Conheads, I salute you.
And America, be afraid.

781
00:43:24,554 --> 00:43:27,890
Be warned,
for the Conheads are coming.

782
00:43:28,432 --> 00:43:30,310
Thank you. God bless America.

783
00:43:31,018 --> 00:43:34,814
ATN decision desk is now projecting
Daniel Jimenez has won

784
00:43:34,814 --> 00:43:37,525
the state of Michigan
over Jeryd Mencken.

785
00:43:37,525 --> 00:43:39,569
That's 15 electoral votes.

786
00:43:39,569 --> 00:43:41,987
Our tally now goes,
are you ready for this,

787
00:43:41,987 --> 00:43:47,452
262 for Mencken
and 262 for Daniel Jimenez.

788
00:43:47,452 --> 00:43:48,661
A dead heat.

789
00:43:48,661 --> 00:43:51,955
Polls will be closing soon in Alaska,
the only state yet to be called

790
00:43:51,955 --> 00:43:55,669
other than Arizona,
and its 11 electoral votes.

791
00:43:57,544 --> 00:43:59,506
Guys, just a heads up.

792
00:43:59,506 --> 00:44:02,299
We hear, we are getting it
from the campaigns,

793
00:44:02,299 --> 00:44:07,347
the data nerds are hearing that...
Dar, you say.

794
00:44:07,347 --> 00:44:10,683
So Arizona is gonna go red.

795
00:44:10,683 --> 00:44:12,978
All right, well then
that would be it, right?

796
00:44:12,978 --> 00:44:17,481
I mean, we're kind of boxed in
because of Wisconsin.

797
00:44:17,481 --> 00:44:20,151
I mean, I don't feel comfortable
calling it.

798
00:44:20,151 --> 00:44:21,945
PGN is gonna be calling it,
right, Tom?

799
00:44:21,945 --> 00:44:24,071
They're going to call Arizona.

800
00:44:24,071 --> 00:44:28,576
Because if we call it...
We called Wisconsin pending.

801
00:44:28,576 --> 00:44:32,831
We already called Wisconsin, okay?
We can't uncall Wisconsin, can we?

802
00:44:32,831 --> 00:44:34,749
That would make us all look
pretty unprofessional.

803
00:44:34,749 --> 00:44:40,379
So, Arizona,
we're calling the election?

804
00:44:40,379 --> 00:44:41,715
- Yeah.
- No, no.

805
00:44:41,715 --> 00:44:43,048
- No?
- No.

806
00:44:43,048 --> 00:44:45,802
- It's math, dude.
- Will you guys give us a minute?

807
00:44:45,802 --> 00:44:46,970
Sure, okay.

808
00:44:46,970 --> 00:44:50,139
One minute,
be back in one minute, please. What?

809
00:44:50,932 --> 00:44:52,183
- That's it.
- I don't know.

810
00:44:52,183 --> 00:44:56,979
Like, maybe, maybe we revisit Wisconsin.

811
00:44:57,563 --> 00:45:01,692
That was kind of... Right?

812
00:45:01,692 --> 00:45:04,778
I get it. No, you're gonna like
big brother it right now.

813
00:45:04,778 --> 00:45:06,947
- That's what you're gonna do?
- No, like what?

814
00:45:06,947 --> 00:45:09,743
Like when, you know, if you want
roast chicken and I wanted steak,

815
00:45:09,743 --> 00:45:11,160
we always had chicken.

816
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,705
Because you'd freak out,
you'd tantrum, so they thought...

817
00:45:14,705 --> 00:45:17,875
I would fucking tantrum
because I never had fucking steak.

818
00:45:17,875 --> 00:45:22,129
Well, I think they got scared
if you tantrum,

819
00:45:22,129 --> 00:45:25,467
then you'd think you'd won,
so they couldn't let you have steak.

820
00:45:25,467 --> 00:45:28,385
Because we had so much chicken,
I have to like the fascist?

821
00:45:28,385 --> 00:45:30,055
Yeah.

822
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:34,099
If we don't call it early and he wins
anyway, which is perfectly possible,

823
00:45:34,099 --> 00:45:36,311
but without us anyway,
think about that.

824
00:45:36,311 --> 00:45:38,438
With FVA and VariNews
backing him,

825
00:45:38,438 --> 00:45:40,689
we're left the most dickless eunuchs
in cuck town.

826
00:45:40,689 --> 00:45:43,317
If we call this,
if we push it...

827
00:45:44,401 --> 00:45:45,486
Maybe it happens.

828
00:45:45,486 --> 00:45:48,113
Yeah, we give it to Mencken,
Mencken blocks the deal.

829
00:45:48,113 --> 00:45:49,991
He's not fucking wishy-washy,
he's a guy.

830
00:45:49,991 --> 00:45:52,410
I don't know, dude, I mean...

831
00:45:55,622 --> 00:45:57,749
My kids, the whole thing...

832
00:45:57,749 --> 00:45:59,417
America!

833
00:45:59,417 --> 00:46:05,339
Well, I mean, it is kind of a nice idea,
all the different people together.

834
00:46:06,007 --> 00:46:08,051
What?
All right, what would Dad do?

835
00:46:09,051 --> 00:46:11,805
- I don't know, I don't actually know.
- Yes, you fucking do, man.

836
00:46:11,805 --> 00:46:14,264
The guy in the pocket,
the guy that's gonna answer our calls,

837
00:46:14,264 --> 00:46:16,308
the fucking guy printing US dollars.

838
00:46:16,308 --> 00:46:17,602
This is all upside.

839
00:46:17,602 --> 00:46:19,771
Apart from the matter of him smashing
the country to pieces.

840
00:46:19,771 --> 00:46:22,064
Oh, God, don't be
such a fucking prissy.

841
00:46:22,064 --> 00:46:24,483
Okay, maybe we could deal
with a dose of that, right?

842
00:46:24,483 --> 00:46:27,152
Like a nice little dose
of the frighteners, wind shit back 20?

843
00:46:27,152 --> 00:46:29,863
One of those fucking guys
pushed my daughter.

844
00:46:29,863 --> 00:46:31,116
She's okay?

845
00:46:31,116 --> 00:46:36,288
If we do this,
people are gonna say shit.

846
00:46:36,288 --> 00:46:38,622
Yeah, we'll be in the West Wing.
Nothing matters, Ken.

847
00:46:38,622 --> 00:46:39,748
Nothing fucking matters.

848
00:46:39,748 --> 00:46:43,961
Dad's dead and the country's just a big
pussy waiting to get fucked.

849
00:46:45,297 --> 00:46:48,674
Fucking action, okay?
We can pay for any damages.

850
00:46:48,674 --> 00:46:51,428
Let's just jam our fucking heads
in the bosom of history

851
00:46:51,428 --> 00:46:53,513
and just... Right?

852
00:46:53,513 --> 00:46:57,016
Or we sit on our hands like a couple
of damsels in distress

853
00:46:57,016 --> 00:46:59,476
and let our chance slip away.

854
00:47:00,437 --> 00:47:03,647
PGN has a major projection
to announce

855
00:47:03,647 --> 00:47:06,526
and that is that Jeryd Mencken
will win Arizona.

856
00:47:06,526 --> 00:47:10,196
So he is the winner of 11 electoral
votes in Arizona.

857
00:47:10,196 --> 00:47:13,032
Jeryd Mencken wins
the state of Arizona.

858
00:47:13,032 --> 00:47:14,575
Can we talk for a minute?

859
00:47:14,993 --> 00:47:17,286
Yeah, we're fucked, Ken.

860
00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,248
We're fucked because
we called, it's fucked.

861
00:47:20,248 --> 00:47:21,625
I don't know what we should do.

862
00:47:21,625 --> 00:47:27,339
I feel like my head is just like...
I can't get the scale of it,

863
00:47:27,339 --> 00:47:28,672
what this is.

864
00:47:28,672 --> 00:47:30,174
We can recant, yeah?

865
00:47:30,174 --> 00:47:34,638
His team is being very direct.
They will block Matsson's deal.

866
00:47:36,013 --> 00:47:37,307
Well, he says he will.

867
00:47:37,307 --> 00:47:40,225
We call it for him. That gives him
legitimacy to declare.

868
00:47:40,225 --> 00:47:42,353
I mean, we're in bed with him,
I think, yeah.

869
00:47:43,729 --> 00:47:47,275
I mean, it'll get ground out
in the courts, whatever we say.

870
00:47:47,275 --> 00:47:48,984
Sure, right, but...

871
00:47:48,984 --> 00:47:53,655
Shall we be totally honest in here?

872
00:47:55,617 --> 00:47:59,663
I have sometimes felt like
I could do it,

873
00:47:59,663 --> 00:48:02,332
like I should do it, me.

874
00:48:03,375 --> 00:48:04,876
Just me.

875
00:48:05,585 --> 00:48:10,757
But I don't want that to be an end
to the family thing.

876
00:48:10,757 --> 00:48:16,888
I would like to be able to talk openly
about that feeling, maybe.

877
00:48:18,138 --> 00:48:20,725
Sure, yeah, no,
I appreciate that.

878
00:48:20,725 --> 00:48:24,354
Mencken is kind of Roman's guy,
so that's complicated.

879
00:48:24,354 --> 00:48:26,231
Yeah, right.

880
00:48:26,231 --> 00:48:30,359
And honestly, I feel threatened,
maybe, by their relationship,

881
00:48:31,152 --> 00:48:34,905
and a piece of me wants
to not support that,

882
00:48:34,905 --> 00:48:38,158
and that's maybe in there,
pulling away from Mencken.

883
00:48:41,371 --> 00:48:45,416
- But also, you're a good guy.
- Well, I don't know.

884
00:48:46,291 --> 00:48:48,544
- Sure, you are.
- Thank you.

885
00:48:48,544 --> 00:48:51,630
No, essentially,
you're a good guy.

886
00:48:57,178 --> 00:49:02,267
But we all want to stop Matsson,
right? That's the thing?

887
00:49:04,811 --> 00:49:08,023
- Yeah.
- Go on.

888
00:49:08,772 --> 00:49:15,280
Well, I think whatever advantage
to us as corporate players

889
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:22,286
in the short term, you know,
Mencken's the nightmare.

890
00:49:23,288 --> 00:49:26,833
Yeah?
Plausible in a decadent era.

891
00:49:26,833 --> 00:49:29,585
He says the bad shit,
he believes the bad shit.

892
00:49:29,585 --> 00:49:32,379
We wouldn't actually
be making him president.

893
00:49:32,379 --> 00:49:35,841
Sure, we might not be able to crown
him, but we can stop him.

894
00:49:36,425 --> 00:49:39,553
He gets momentum tonight,
it makes it possible.

895
00:49:39,553 --> 00:49:41,890
He needs our call.

896
00:49:51,482 --> 00:49:54,027
I don't think I'm a very good father.

897
00:49:55,403 --> 00:49:56,862
You are.

898
00:49:56,862 --> 00:50:01,033
You're okay.
You've tried.

899
00:50:02,243 --> 00:50:03,745
That's all we can do.

900
00:50:04,287 --> 00:50:07,374
- Maybe the poison drips through.
- No.

901
00:50:07,374 --> 00:50:09,584
No. You know what?

902
00:50:09,584 --> 00:50:11,835
I don't think even Dad
would back him tonight.

903
00:50:11,835 --> 00:50:13,879
He basically picked him.

904
00:50:13,879 --> 00:50:16,341
Sure, but we throw the papers
and the whole thing in for him,

905
00:50:16,341 --> 00:50:19,886
and then in a month, a week from
now, the courts go the other way?

906
00:50:19,886 --> 00:50:21,887
We're essentially done
as a news organization.

907
00:50:21,887 --> 00:50:25,725
It's just hard to think we'd give
it all away to Matsson.

908
00:50:28,602 --> 00:50:31,940
Could we try?
Could you try once,

909
00:50:32,899 --> 00:50:37,112
direct to Nate, to get something
from them to block the deal?

910
00:50:38,946 --> 00:50:40,531
Yeah.

911
00:50:41,908 --> 00:50:44,702
- Yeah?
- Sure.

912
00:50:46,162 --> 00:50:48,914
- One of these?
- Yeah.

913
00:50:50,582 --> 00:50:51,793
You're a good guy.

914
00:51:11,812 --> 00:51:18,193
Hey, Nate! Just calling...

915
00:51:21,321 --> 00:51:24,783
I'm just wondering if Jimenez can...

916
00:51:24,783 --> 00:51:26,452
Try to call again.

917
00:51:28,579 --> 00:51:34,044
So, Shiv is seeing
what we can get from de Dems.

918
00:51:34,044 --> 00:51:36,004
Get the fuck out of here. Why?

919
00:51:36,004 --> 00:51:38,339
We really need to know
what we're doing, guys.

920
00:51:38,339 --> 00:51:41,885
- If we want to stick with Wisconsin...
- One moment, Tom.

921
00:51:43,470 --> 00:51:46,556
So, you talk to him?

922
00:51:46,556 --> 00:51:49,601
Yeah. I think
there's something there.

923
00:51:49,601 --> 00:51:52,936
- No, there's not.
- Like...

924
00:51:52,936 --> 00:51:56,273
Like they might be...
They are willing to think.

925
00:51:56,273 --> 00:52:00,111
They might be, or maybe
they are willing to think?

926
00:52:00,111 --> 00:52:03,906
- That sounds like horseshit.
- No, Rome, they're just not so direct.

927
00:52:03,906 --> 00:52:06,952
Yeah, I think we can probably
get them to stop it.

928
00:52:06,952 --> 00:52:10,329
Probably... Sorry, no.
Game over. Bullshit.

929
00:52:10,329 --> 00:52:13,290
No, we have to call it.
Mencken is rock solid.

930
00:52:13,290 --> 00:52:17,503
Roman, even Dad, in this situation
would respect the process.

931
00:52:17,503 --> 00:52:19,630
Dad did whatever
the fuck he wanted.

932
00:52:19,630 --> 00:52:22,257
One fact, he took out a government.
He did it.

933
00:52:22,257 --> 00:52:24,552
"Fuck Lyle". Send.
And that was it.

934
00:52:24,552 --> 00:52:26,887
That's all it took.
Fucking Canada here.

935
00:52:26,887 --> 00:52:28,640
- He didn't give a shit.
- He liked stability, Rome.

936
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,850
He pushed, but
he didn't want shit to unravel.

937
00:52:30,850 --> 00:52:34,186
- He ended wars.
- He ended wars that he started.

938
00:52:34,186 --> 00:52:38,524
- He did whatever the fuck he wanted.
- What did Nate actually say?

939
00:52:38,524 --> 00:52:42,027
He said they would talk, and that
they could see the arguments,

940
00:52:42,027 --> 00:52:44,906
and I think it's encouraging.

941
00:52:45,490 --> 00:52:48,742
- You felt like it was encouraging?
- It was encouraging.

942
00:52:48,742 --> 00:52:51,579
It was a feeling.
I got something real.

943
00:52:51,579 --> 00:52:54,456
This is fucking pointless.
What a waste of time.

944
00:52:54,456 --> 00:52:56,625
I'm gonna call.

945
00:52:56,625 --> 00:52:59,336
I'm gonna be very direct.
We just need a little bit more.

946
00:52:59,336 --> 00:53:01,715
- Don't call him.
- Why?

947
00:53:02,339 --> 00:53:05,009
They're busy.

948
00:53:11,849 --> 00:53:14,686
Can't have uncertainty.
Can't. Fucking market.

949
00:53:15,186 --> 00:53:17,980
The chaos of trying
to rerun an entire election

950
00:53:17,980 --> 00:53:20,024
could just send the country
into meltdown.

951
00:53:20,024 --> 00:53:21,650
Okay, bad faith argument.

952
00:53:21,650 --> 00:53:24,778
You can't have uncertainty.
China is coming.

953
00:53:24,778 --> 00:53:26,363
- China is coming?
- China's coming.

954
00:53:26,363 --> 00:53:28,158
China's already been. Next.

955
00:53:30,075 --> 00:53:33,746
It's not like the fucking
final final anyway, okay?

956
00:53:33,746 --> 00:53:37,416
There's the court shit, and it all
kind of just fuzzes along, you know?

957
00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:40,878
It's a waste of fucking time.
That we don't have, by the way.

958
00:53:43,505 --> 00:53:46,592
- Greg, can I ask you a question?
- What's up?

959
00:53:47,217 --> 00:53:49,845
Do you know if there's something
going on...

960
00:53:51,472 --> 00:53:54,600
What else Nate and Gil
and fucking Jimenez offer you?

961
00:53:55,517 --> 00:53:58,396
Unlimited social spending
spending with this one weird trick?

962
00:54:08,655 --> 00:54:10,367
How was that call?

963
00:54:11,325 --> 00:54:13,995
What'd you get?
Whole bunch of not much?

964
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,414
- Really?
- What?

965
00:54:18,082 --> 00:54:20,210
"I think you're a good guy"?

966
00:54:22,628 --> 00:54:26,423
I found it hard to get Nate,
so I summarized some impressions.

967
00:54:26,423 --> 00:54:29,468
Right, right, right. Smart.
Really good, Shiv.

968
00:54:30,345 --> 00:54:32,764
But you lied. Right?

969
00:54:33,306 --> 00:54:37,226
She didn't get anything from Nate.
She didn't speak to Nate.

970
00:54:37,226 --> 00:54:39,145
And she's in with Matsson.

971
00:54:39,145 --> 00:54:42,273
- Sorry, what?
- No, I...

972
00:54:43,191 --> 00:54:47,152
No, I did what we all agreed to,

973
00:54:47,152 --> 00:54:49,154
I got close to him,
so that I could help.

974
00:54:49,154 --> 00:54:51,574
Shiv's fucking us, right?
Right, Shivy?

975
00:54:51,574 --> 00:54:54,119
No. No, no, no, no.

976
00:54:54,119 --> 00:54:55,370
I...

977
00:54:56,161 --> 00:54:58,415
I fucking asked you
some real questions, Shiv.

978
00:54:58,415 --> 00:55:01,333
I wondered why you looked like
a goose trying to shit a house brick,

979
00:55:01,333 --> 00:55:02,669
you piece of dirt.

980
00:55:02,669 --> 00:55:04,878
You got yourself
a little fucking side deal here?

981
00:55:04,878 --> 00:55:06,756
No, no, I have some options.

982
00:55:06,756 --> 00:55:10,634
I was going through with the plan,
and then you two...

983
00:55:10,634 --> 00:55:12,554
Mencken.
Mencken, right?

984
00:55:12,554 --> 00:55:14,055
- Mencken.
- No, what?

985
00:55:14,055 --> 00:55:15,473
Tom!

986
00:55:15,473 --> 00:55:18,852
No, you even wanted to push us
out of fucking nest.

987
00:55:18,852 --> 00:55:20,102
Please.

988
00:55:20,102 --> 00:55:23,105
Ken, aside from all this,
this is not the right thing.

989
00:55:23,105 --> 00:55:24,648
Aside from the fact that you lied to us

990
00:55:24,648 --> 00:55:27,443
and that doing what you want precisely
plays into your own interests, yeah?

991
00:55:27,443 --> 00:55:29,403
This doesn't? Yeah?

992
00:55:29,403 --> 00:55:32,114
Ken, please, come on.
Come on!

993
00:55:32,114 --> 00:55:33,325
Who are we?

994
00:55:33,325 --> 00:55:36,160
- Will no one think of the children?
- I'm not gonna let this happen.

995
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,413
There comes a time
where you have to stand...

996
00:55:41,207 --> 00:55:42,667
Seriously, this is real, okay?

997
00:55:42,667 --> 00:55:44,919
I have concern for the state
of the republic

998
00:55:44,919 --> 00:55:48,048
and pluralism
and the future of this country...

999
00:55:48,506 --> 00:55:50,799
You're such a bore Shiv, Jesus.

1000
00:55:51,383 --> 00:55:53,678
Fuck you! Ken.

1001
00:55:53,678 --> 00:55:56,513
- He's right.
- Yeah, you're boring.

1002
00:55:56,513 --> 00:55:58,140
And you don't have a pass for in here.

1003
00:55:58,140 --> 00:56:01,436
Okay, well, fine. You know what?
Maybe I'll go public.

1004
00:56:01,436 --> 00:56:04,731
I'll go to the papers and tell them
what you're actually fucking doing.

1005
00:56:04,731 --> 00:56:06,566
If we're gonna just be hysterical,

1006
00:56:06,566 --> 00:56:08,777
we're gonna have to ask you to leave.

1007
00:56:08,777 --> 00:56:11,028
People are trying to do
some serious work in here.

1008
00:56:11,028 --> 00:56:13,697
Fuck you. This is about
the future of the country.

1009
00:56:14,574 --> 00:56:17,243
No, I think it's because
you broke up with your boyfriend.

1010
00:56:17,744 --> 00:56:19,953
- Jesus, you're a prick.
- Hello.

1011
00:56:20,537 --> 00:56:21,580
Hey, Tom.

1012
00:56:21,580 --> 00:56:23,500
So, call it.
You can call it.

1013
00:56:23,500 --> 00:56:25,668
- No.
- We're calling it?

1014
00:56:25,668 --> 00:56:27,795
Yeah, we called Wisconsin.
Now we're gonna call Arizona,

1015
00:56:27,795 --> 00:56:29,463
so we call the election.
We call the election?

1016
00:56:29,463 --> 00:56:30,590
Call it.

1017
00:56:30,590 --> 00:56:33,592
No, Tom, no.
You're making a terrible mistake.

1018
00:56:34,219 --> 00:56:37,931
- Please don't.
- Hey, guys, it's not my call.

1019
00:56:38,347 --> 00:56:40,517
It's your call.
It's up to you.

1020
00:56:40,517 --> 00:56:43,228
- If you say so, I say so.
- I say so.

1021
00:56:43,228 --> 00:56:47,232
- Fucking Pontious Pilate!
- No one cares.

1022
00:56:47,232 --> 00:56:49,108
Hey.
Tell them I'm coming down.

1023
00:56:49,108 --> 00:56:52,988
Yes. We're gonna call it.
Yeah, we're calling from Mencken.

1024
00:56:52,988 --> 00:56:54,739
Okay, tell them I'm coming.

1025
00:56:55,989 --> 00:56:58,285
- Great work, Tom.
- Thank you.

1026
00:57:00,202 --> 00:57:01,955
Good stuff. Great night.

1027
00:57:08,377 --> 00:57:10,004
Fuck!

1028
00:57:10,338 --> 00:57:12,340
You okay?

1029
00:57:12,340 --> 00:57:14,091
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1030
00:57:15,427 --> 00:57:18,763
I have to go tell them

1031
00:57:19,556 --> 00:57:21,766
we're calling it. For Mencken.

1032
00:57:22,684 --> 00:57:23,935
Yeah.

1033
00:57:25,144 --> 00:57:29,398
So, I should go.
I'll get in trouble if I don't go.

1034
00:57:30,066 --> 00:57:32,152
Okay, dude. I mean...

1035
00:57:33,653 --> 00:57:36,030
I mean, it's not really
my choice, right?

1036
00:57:36,030 --> 00:57:38,782
Sure. I mean, right. Yeah.

1037
00:57:39,534 --> 00:57:42,411
Yeah, I'm just pressing the button.
Or I'm not even pressing the button.

1038
00:57:42,411 --> 00:57:46,123
I'm asking them to prepare
to press the button.

1039
00:57:46,123 --> 00:57:51,004
And this is just like
launch a nuclear attack.

1040
00:57:52,671 --> 00:57:57,885
It's not gonna change
anything if I don't go. So...

1041
00:57:57,885 --> 00:58:01,180
- A couple minutes.
- Right, right.

1042
00:58:02,139 --> 00:58:03,849
Realistically...

1043
00:58:10,774 --> 00:58:13,860
- Crazy.
- Yeah.

1044
00:58:15,403 --> 00:58:16,779
Crazy one.

1045
00:58:23,411 --> 00:58:27,206
So Tom just told me. Everybody,

1046
00:58:27,706 --> 00:58:30,959
calling it from Mencken.
He's calling it from Mencken.

1047
00:58:33,545 --> 00:58:35,422
- So he said, yeah?
- I just said.

1048
00:58:35,422 --> 00:58:37,675
I'm calling it from Mencken.
Okay?

1049
00:58:39,970 --> 00:58:41,596
- Okay.
- Okay.

1050
00:58:43,139 --> 00:58:45,391
Okay. Well, then, Dave...

1051
00:58:45,391 --> 00:58:48,311
Okay. Lydia, get me
"Mencken wins".

1052
00:58:48,311 --> 00:58:50,897
Get the ticker going on ATN citizens.

1053
00:58:50,897 --> 00:58:54,191
Let the people know two mins
and ATN is gonna call it.

1054
00:58:54,985 --> 00:58:57,027
We are gonna make this call now.

1055
00:58:57,027 --> 00:59:00,365
The ATN decision desk
has looked at the numbers

1056
00:59:00,365 --> 00:59:04,953
and is ready to declare Arizona
for Jeryd Mencken.

1057
00:59:05,537 --> 00:59:10,667
This means that Mencken will be
the next president of the United States,

1058
00:59:10,667 --> 00:59:13,920
winning the most unreal, surreal
election we have ever seen.

1059
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,214
His candidacy starting in Virginia
only six months ago

1060
00:59:17,214 --> 00:59:19,592
against a dozen other Republican candidates

1061
00:59:19,592 --> 00:59:23,263
in the wake of the president saying
he wasn't going to run for reelection.

1062
00:59:23,263 --> 00:59:26,975
What started off as an unlikely impossibility,

1063
00:59:26,975 --> 00:59:29,519
now a reality, it is Mencken.

1064
00:59:30,603 --> 00:59:36,442
Well, it's now clear I have
won sufficient electoral votes

1065
00:59:37,151 --> 00:59:41,489
to be declared the next president
of the United States.

1066
00:59:42,657 --> 00:59:45,744
And I find the responsibility awesome.

1067
00:59:47,162 --> 00:59:49,079
Now I know there
are some who feel

1068
00:59:49,079 --> 00:59:52,666
there's something left
to contest, but votes have been cast.

1069
00:59:52,666 --> 00:59:54,251
Votes have been tallied.

1070
00:59:55,336 --> 01:00:00,466
On another day, in another time, they
might have fallen in another fashion.

1071
01:00:01,343 --> 01:00:05,721
The election has been called
by an authority of known integrity.

1072
01:00:05,721 --> 01:00:08,807
Maybe we should get
like a history guy.

1073
01:00:09,184 --> 01:00:12,812
Like a real brainiac to say

1074
01:00:12,812 --> 01:00:16,273
why this sort of thing has happened
in the past

1075
01:00:16,273 --> 01:00:18,650
and that it'll all be fine.

1076
01:00:18,650 --> 01:00:22,280
To my critics,
I am not a demagogue.

1077
01:00:23,030 --> 01:00:26,492
I am a defender of democracy.

1078
01:00:27,201 --> 01:00:32,956
But democracy, it has this tendency
that we have to beware

1079
01:00:32,956 --> 01:00:35,376
to become mere transaction.

1080
01:00:35,376 --> 01:00:38,671
I give you this, you give me that.

1081
01:00:38,671 --> 01:00:43,676
I come begging for your vote,
welfare checkbook out,

1082
01:00:43,676 --> 01:00:46,763
crowning the welfare kings
and queens

1083
01:00:46,763 --> 01:00:50,350
till everyone's become a little tyrant
crowned by the state.

1084
01:00:51,267 --> 01:00:53,102
The model that I follow

1085
01:00:53,102 --> 01:00:55,438
isn't from the scorched marketplace

1086
01:00:55,438 --> 01:00:59,693
where cunning men
haggle for the best price.

1087
01:00:59,693 --> 01:01:00,984
That's not me.

1088
01:01:00,984 --> 01:01:06,366
The democracy I believe in is where
a leader emerged from the people,

1089
01:01:06,366 --> 01:01:09,703
willed almost into being,
brought forth

1090
01:01:09,703 --> 01:01:13,665
by the great sweetness
of the virtue of the combined wisdom

1091
01:01:13,665 --> 01:01:16,583
of the good people of this republic.

1092
01:01:17,836 --> 01:01:24,217
Don't we long sometimes for something
clean once in this polluted land?

1093
01:01:24,217 --> 01:01:26,010
That's what I hope to bring.

1094
01:01:26,010 --> 01:01:28,512
Not something grubby
with compromise.

1095
01:01:28,512 --> 01:01:31,599
Something clean
and true and refreshing.

1096
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:33,977
He's a guy we can do business with.

1097
01:01:33,977 --> 01:01:35,228
Yeah.

1098
01:01:35,228 --> 01:01:36,395
Something proud and pure.

1099
01:01:36,395 --> 01:01:39,399
He'll play ball. You should hear him
talk semiconductors.

1100
01:01:39,899 --> 01:01:42,027
The market's holding the leash.

1101
01:01:42,027 --> 01:01:45,404
We just made a night of good TV.
That's what we've done.

1102
01:01:45,404 --> 01:01:47,032
Nothing happens.

1103
01:01:47,032 --> 01:01:49,826
Things do happen, Rome.

1104
01:01:56,206 --> 01:01:58,043
President calling.

1105
01:01:59,544 --> 01:02:03,882
Yo, Hocus POTUS, sitting
in the POTUS position. What's up?

1106
01:02:03,882 --> 01:02:06,759
Hey man, look, no time, just thanks.

1107
01:02:06,759 --> 01:02:09,054
You and me, man, we'll go far.

1108
01:02:09,054 --> 01:02:11,014
Over the road and into the bar.

1109
01:02:12,557 --> 01:02:15,059
An election unlike anything
we've ever seen.

1110
01:02:15,059 --> 01:02:17,144
followed by a speech for the ages.

1111
01:02:17,144 --> 01:02:20,065
The legal process
is gonna be lengthy.

1112
01:02:20,065 --> 01:02:21,857
When do you think it'll all be over?

1113
01:02:21,857 --> 01:02:24,401
This could be going on
for the next three months.

1114
01:02:24,401 --> 01:02:27,906
Hey, Tom, your phone,
it's red hot, Tom.

1115
01:02:27,906 --> 01:02:30,157
A lot of very important people...

1116
01:02:31,158 --> 01:02:33,702
A lot of very important
people wanna scream at you.

1117
01:02:34,953 --> 01:02:37,165
This is a little pointed.

1118
01:02:37,165 --> 01:02:40,377
The call was made personally
by ATN boss Tom Wambsgans.

1119
01:02:40,377 --> 01:02:42,921
Darwin wants to know
when to do his caveats.

1120
01:02:42,921 --> 01:02:45,632
Is there time for him to do it?
No.

1121
01:02:50,469 --> 01:02:52,137
Hello? No.

1122
01:02:54,933 --> 01:02:58,144
He is, of course, known to be
an associate of Jeryd Mencken.

1123
01:02:58,144 --> 01:03:01,189
Jesus fucking Christ,
what's going on ?

1124
01:03:01,189 --> 01:03:03,482
Those funky numbers,
I'm sending you words, yeah?

1125
01:03:03,482 --> 01:03:06,735
Let's get 'em out in the next 24.
A lot of fucking news.

1126
01:03:07,111 --> 01:03:08,530
You guys are crazy.

1127
01:03:08,530 --> 01:03:10,823
Yeah, it's more than
just fucking crazy, Lukas.

1128
01:03:10,823 --> 01:03:13,826
No, but this is crazy!

1129
01:03:13,826 --> 01:03:15,829
Well, we're gonna do a number on 'em.

1130
01:03:15,829 --> 01:03:18,747
We're gonna fuck them so hard,
we're gonna fix this, yeah?

1131
01:03:19,457 --> 01:03:20,666
Fuck!

1132
01:03:23,335 --> 01:03:25,004
Can I come see the kids?

1133
01:03:25,630 --> 01:03:27,047
They're asleep.

1134
01:03:27,506 --> 01:03:30,217
Well, I can wait up for them.

1135
01:03:30,217 --> 01:03:33,345
I should be asleep, but I can't.

1136
01:03:33,345 --> 01:03:37,391
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
I'll see you at the funeral, okay?

1137
01:03:48,528 --> 01:03:50,946
Some people just can't cut a deal, Fikret.
