1
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:04,604
Sleepwalking into oblivion.

2
00:00:04,604 --> 00:00:08,308
Uncontrolled migration,
hyperinflation, rampant crime,

3
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:10,276
- cultural Marxism...
- Here we go.

4
00:00:10,276 --> 00:00:13,790
The 5:00 p.m.

5
00:00:13,790 --> 00:00:15,315
- All good?
- Yeah, I'm good, Greg,

6
00:00:15,315 --> 00:00:17,650
considering it's my first
post-Logan election,

7
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:20,253
and I have Cyd, uh,
running around town,

8
00:00:20,253 --> 00:00:22,956
spitting poison like a ****ing
king cobra with an iPhone.

9
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:24,958
I have, uh, PGN
to the left of me,

10
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:26,393
I have FVA to the right.

11
00:00:26,393 --> 00:00:29,629
I gotta deliver
the best election numbers ever

12
00:00:29,629 --> 00:00:31,631
'cause my bosses
wanna rip my heart out

13
00:00:31,631 --> 00:00:32,732
as a peace offering

14
00:00:32,732 --> 00:00:34,467
- to all comers. So, no, Greg.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

15
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,636
You know,
I'm a little bit tense.

16
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:38,905
Just a little bit. Little tense.

17
00:00:38,905 --> 00:00:40,774
Well, yeah,
I'm feeling pretty good.

18
00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:13,500
I got to the polling
location at 11:00 a.m.,

19
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,935
I thought it was very odd
the lines were short...

20
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:17,337
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Ken.

21
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:18,438
You good? You feeling good?

22
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:20,273
Needs to be gangbusters
tonight, man. Yeah?

23
00:02:20,273 --> 00:02:21,675
Yeah, you got it.
You got it.

24
00:02:21,675 --> 00:02:23,430
All right, need
those numbers, T.

25
00:02:23,430 --> 00:02:25,378
Really wanna see
those numbers, Tom, okay?

26
00:02:25,378 --> 00:02:27,280
- Okay.
- Market's watching.

27
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,382
First Super Bowl. How we gonna
cope without the king? Right?

28
00:02:29,382 --> 00:02:31,918
Okay, got it, Ken.
All good, all good.

29
00:02:31,918 --> 00:02:34,621
- Hey, Pam. How's it looking?
- Uh, bit of crackle.

30
00:02:34,621 --> 00:02:37,957
We have a news van
in a bit of trouble in Oregon.

31
00:02:37,957 --> 00:02:39,759
Things looking fighty
in Milwaukee...

32
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,128
Did you see the viral thing
about the woman,

33
00:02:42,128 --> 00:02:44,297
um, who voted, like,
40 times for Jimenez

34
00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:45,765
under her dead mom's name?

35
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:47,801
We tracked her down.
Not super reliable.

36
00:02:47,801 --> 00:02:49,269
She's not a well person.

37
00:02:49,269 --> 00:02:51,638
She's... Well,
you're not a doctor, Pam.

38
00:02:51,638 --> 00:02:54,474
Until you qualify, why don't
you get her on the air?

39
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:57,143
Oof! Long night in dress shoes?

40
00:02:57,143 --> 00:03:00,480
Cyd used to go for these sort of
slip-ons with a padded sock.

41
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,982
Yeah, probably 'cause she
couldn't get her cloven hooves

42
00:03:02,982 --> 00:03:04,617
into her regular shoes.

43
00:03:04,617 --> 00:03:07,921
I'm perfectly comfortable, Pam.
I've got good arches.

44
00:03:07,921 --> 00:03:09,222
- All right.
- They've been remarked upon.

45
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:11,570
Five p.m. exit polls, come on.

46
00:03:11,570 --> 00:03:13,760
- Five p.m.
- Hey, Darwin. You don't, um...

47
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,762
Oh, they're cool.
Um, you don't...

48
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:17,564
You don't do anything
special tonight, do you?

49
00:03:17,564 --> 00:03:19,833
Just somebody
was talking about adult diapers?

50
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:22,200
Oh, no, I think there's
always time for the bathroom.

51
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,636
Fine. Okay, thanks.

52
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:27,407
Okay. Excuse me.
Coming through.

53
00:03:27,407 --> 00:03:29,476
Coming through here.
Coming through.

54
00:03:29,476 --> 00:03:32,679
Hey, everybody.
So, terms and conditions.

55
00:03:32,679 --> 00:03:35,281
Forgive me, those of you
who already know this.

56
00:03:35,281 --> 00:03:36,783
You get, uh, you get
some rest though?

57
00:03:36,783 --> 00:03:39,853
No, no. Marital strife.

58
00:03:39,853 --> 00:03:41,321
Can I hear a "Got it"?

59
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:43,123
- Got it.
- Thank you. Also, what we're about to tell you...

60
00:03:43,123 --> 00:03:44,991
- How was your night?
- With Matsson?

61
00:03:44,991 --> 00:03:49,496
Pretty monstrous. His crew knows
some unseemly venues.

62
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:52,966
I danced with an old man.

63
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:55,168
- What?
- Yeah. He didn't want to dance,

64
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:58,672
but they made us dance.
He was so confused.

65
00:03:58,672 --> 00:04:04,277
I drank things
that aren't normally drinks.

66
00:04:05,211 --> 00:04:07,781
And I... I got the impression...

67
00:04:09,282 --> 00:04:14,540
Do you know about Matsson
with Shiv and their sort of...

68
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:17,123
like, their... their business
alliance agreement?

69
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:21,661
Well, I'm sure I don't know
what you're talking about.

70
00:04:23,163 --> 00:04:25,398
Okay, I didn't think so.

71
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:28,702
Do you wanna strategize?
You wanna fry her *** up?

72
00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:32,500
Information, Greg.

73
00:04:32,972 --> 00:04:34,541
It's like a bottle of fine wine.

74
00:04:35,475 --> 00:04:37,577
You store it, you hoard it,

75
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,579
you save it
for a special occasion.

76
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:42,549
And then you smash someone's
****ing face in with it.

77
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:44,918
- Nice.
- So, what we're hearing is,

78
00:04:44,918 --> 00:04:47,520
and remember,
this is not decisive,

79
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,220
what we're seeing is Mencken

80
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:54,940
may be over-performing
in Georgia and Arizona.

81
00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:56,863
So, our early read would be

82
00:04:56,863 --> 00:04:59,265
closer than polls
have suggested.

83
00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:02,602
Close, but Jimenez likely edging

84
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:04,400
- on what we've seen.
- Boo!

85
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,700
Listen,
this is privileged information.

86
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:09,409
Leaks that suppress
or encourage turnout

87
00:05:09,409 --> 00:05:10,744
could result in our ejection

88
00:05:10,744 --> 00:05:13,460
from the National
Election Pool, okay?

89
00:05:13,460 --> 00:05:15,810
Yeah, you heard the man.

90
00:05:15,810 --> 00:05:16,182
Zip it.

91
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:18,585
That's great.

92
00:05:19,853 --> 00:05:23,560
Okay, Tom says exit polls say
looks like Jimenez.

93
00:05:23,757 --> 00:05:24,924
No leaks.

94
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:27,527
That's great. I mean,
I got four smileys from Gil.

95
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:28,628
They think they've got it.

96
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,564
I have got eggplant,
eggplant, flag from Mencken.

97
00:05:32,966 --> 00:05:35,680
Well, two eggplants
is not as much

98
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:36,302
as four smileys, obviously.

99
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:38,905
Four smileys is symptomatic
of the complacency

100
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:40,373
at the heart
of his out-of-touch campaign.

101
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:43,410
Eggplant, eggplant, flag reeks
of the misogynistic bravado

102
00:05:43,410 --> 00:05:45,245
that has so repelled
the median voter.

103
00:05:45,245 --> 00:05:47,981
- Huh? Hmm?
- Jesus. Oh, I feel sick.

104
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:49,816
Oh, why? It's fun.

105
00:05:49,816 --> 00:05:50,984
My team is playing your team.

106
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:52,919
It's only spicy
'cause if my team wins,

107
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:54,540
they're gonna shoot your team.

108
00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:55,388
Okay, but what
are you hearing, seriously?

109
00:05:55,388 --> 00:05:56,990
Are these your vans?
The Nazi vans?

110
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:58,625
The van?
Oh, the... the fun vans?

111
00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:00,126
The, uh, the fun buses? Yeah.

112
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:01,561
Yeah, in Florida,
they picked people up

113
00:06:01,561 --> 00:06:02,929
telling them they were
taking them to vote,

114
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:04,464
and then a kid got left
by the highway.

115
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:06,660
It's ****ing kidnapping, Rome.

116
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:10,637
It's ****ing kidnapping now?
False flag. Nice try.

117
00:06:10,637 --> 00:06:12,505
Kidnapping.
It's kidnapping.

118
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:16,509
- Hey!
- Lukas! Hey.

119
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:17,844
So, it's looking like Jimenez.

120
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:21,948
Which is good for democracy
and great for us.

121
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:23,183
Okay.

122
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:24,351
So, either way,

123
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:27,120
I think that we consider
releasing your, you know,

124
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,955
your funky numbers,
maybe tomorrow?

125
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:31,291
Day after tomorrow?
Just get ahead of the numbers

126
00:06:31,291 --> 00:06:33,159
and, you know, I can come up
with some language.

127
00:06:33,159 --> 00:06:37,497
Yeah, I was... I was talking
last night to Oskar

128
00:06:37,497 --> 00:06:40,166
and Gregory Peggory about that.

129
00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:42,802
Uh, I'm sorry,
you spoke to Greg about this?

130
00:06:42,802 --> 00:06:44,771
Yeah, well, he was part
of a conversation,

131
00:06:44,771 --> 00:06:46,806
just as a normalist.

132
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:49,609
And, uh...
And then I was wondering,

133
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:50,977
you know, maybe we...

134
00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:52,712
Maybe we keep my...

135
00:06:52,712 --> 00:06:55,315
my terrible secret a secret,
you know?

136
00:06:55,315 --> 00:06:59,520
Okay. Uh...

137
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,687
Yeah, look, let me
have a think about that.

138
00:07:00,687 --> 00:07:02,622
I gotta... I gotta take this.

139
00:07:02,622 --> 00:07:04,224
I'll... I'll...
I'll call you back.

140
00:07:05,158 --> 00:07:06,590
Nate.

141
00:07:06,590 --> 00:07:07,694
How's things
in Mission Control Denver?

142
00:07:07,694 --> 00:07:08,862
Are you in at ATN, Shiv?

143
00:07:08,862 --> 00:07:10,730
Upstairs.
Leave it to them, Dad's rules.

144
00:07:10,730 --> 00:07:13,330
Well, they need to be covering
the intimidation.

145
00:07:13,330 --> 00:07:14,167
It's pretty dark, Shiv.

146
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:16,169
Who watches
the watchmen, you know?

147
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:19,390
"Who watches the watchmen?"
I ****ing do.

148
00:07:19,390 --> 00:07:20,740
- You getting good numbers?
- Good.

149
00:07:20,740 --> 00:07:23,309
I'm just watching the weather.
Storm clouds in Nevada.

150
00:07:23,309 --> 00:07:25,110
We got people in line.

151
00:07:25,110 --> 00:07:28,815
Disturbance in Wisconsin.
But, uh, yeah, yeah.

152
00:07:29,382 --> 00:07:30,817
Scared, but good.

153
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:33,319
Precinct data is...

154
00:07:34,554 --> 00:07:36,423
Pennsylvania,
Arizona could be tough.

155
00:07:36,423 --> 00:07:39,192
Let's keep this channel open
on all things

156
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:42,162
Matsson and me,
and the new ATN, yeah?

157
00:07:42,162 --> 00:07:43,730
All things good.

158
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:45,765
All right. So, Jimenez wins,

159
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:47,567
and he just waves
the ****ing deal through.

160
00:07:47,567 --> 00:07:48,835
And then we're what?

161
00:07:48,835 --> 00:07:51,438
I guess, ****ing last ditch,
the board?

162
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:53,606
The shareholders?

163
00:07:55,410 --> 00:07:57,410
Okay, uh,
Jeryd wants face-to-face.

164
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:58,845
Okay. Me too?

165
00:07:58,845 --> 00:08:00,113
Um, I doubt it. I'm asking.

166
00:08:00,113 --> 00:08:02,182
Do you wanna try Gil,
or maybe direct to Jimenez?

167
00:08:02,182 --> 00:08:05,418
It feels kinda sweaty.
Maybe I wait a day.

168
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:09,550
A day... I... I mean, I guess,
today's the ****ing day, right?

169
00:08:09,550 --> 00:08:11,424
Like, today's the day the rooster
puts its head in our hands.

170
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:13,460
Today is the moment of...

171
00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:17,297
maximum leverage. Uh, yeah.
Nope, it looks like just me.

172
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:18,798
It's a bit tight for both of us.

173
00:08:18,798 --> 00:08:21,368
**** him. All right, go, go, go.

174
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:22,469
- I'm going.
- Sure, sure.

175
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:24,371
Let me know
what you come up with.

176
00:08:29,576 --> 00:08:31,644
- Hey, Rava.
- Hey, listen, um,

177
00:08:31,644 --> 00:08:33,380
- we... we are all okay...
- Yeah?

178
00:08:33,380 --> 00:08:36,883
But, um, we're a bit,
uh, freaked out.

179
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:40,530
There is an SUV.
Well, uh, we... we think

180
00:08:40,530 --> 00:08:42,956
there's an SUV,
and it's... it's following us.

181
00:08:42,956 --> 00:08:45,725
So, um, can we come
to the office?

182
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:48,795
Because, uh, you have
good security at the office?

183
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:50,630
What's the license plate?

184
00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:52,632
- The license is T... 3...
- Is it, uh, T... TR...

185
00:08:52,632 --> 00:08:54,670
- I can't...
- Right, 'cause it's probably...

186
00:08:54,670 --> 00:08:55,835
It's probably mine.
I didn't want Sophie to freak,

187
00:08:55,835 --> 00:08:57,470
so I just...
I just actioned it.

188
00:08:57,470 --> 00:08:59,606
Are you... You're...

189
00:09:00,940 --> 00:09:03,610
Oh, my God.
You're having me followed

190
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,945
with th... th...
This covert surveillance

191
00:09:05,945 --> 00:09:08,448
to show you care?
The actual ****, Ken?

192
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:10,784
Just an extra layer of
bubble wrap for her and Ivey.

193
00:09:10,784 --> 00:09:12,180
Are you guys okay? You okay?

194
00:09:12,180 --> 00:09:15,121
- Is she okay?
- She's, um, scared, Ken. Okay?

195
00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:17,230
- I'm... I am scared.
- Rava, Rava.

196
00:09:17,230 --> 00:09:18,491
- Listen, just...
- I don't know what...

197
00:09:18,491 --> 00:09:20,694
There... there is...
There is shit burning,

198
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:21,828
there is intimidation.

199
00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:24,631
- I don't understand...
- Relax, okay? Relax.

200
00:09:24,631 --> 00:09:26,266
Tell Sophie, I love her,

201
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:28,468
and that is why
I do everything I do.

202
00:09:28,468 --> 00:09:30,603
Okay, Soph?
Soph, I love you, sweetie, okay?

203
00:09:30,603 --> 00:09:32,339
Nothing's gonna happen.

204
00:09:32,339 --> 00:09:34,474
Exit polls say Jimenez, okay?

205
00:09:34,474 --> 00:09:36,609
I won't let the world push you,
okay, sweetie?

206
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:39,546
Okay.

207
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:50,123
Ken.

208
00:09:50,123 --> 00:09:51,558
Hey, man.
Just... just calling

209
00:09:51,558 --> 00:09:53,226
to say good luck. Great numbers.

210
00:09:53,226 --> 00:09:54,828
- Thanks, man.
- And, um,

211
00:09:54,828 --> 00:09:57,664
listen, apologies if...
If things got a bit heated.

212
00:09:57,664 --> 00:09:58,865
A lot of shit going down.

213
00:09:58,865 --> 00:10:02,202
Victory vans and shitheads
kicking off in Milwaukee.

214
00:10:02,202 --> 00:10:05,205
- ATN wanna cover?
- Yeah, I'll... I'll... I'll talk,

215
00:10:05,205 --> 00:10:09,642
uh, but gotta let them do
their thing. But, yeah, yeah.

216
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:12,345
- Okay.
- Listen, you got Daniel there?

217
00:10:12,345 --> 00:10:14,547
You know, let me, uh,
let me see.

218
00:10:20,553 --> 00:10:21,688
Yeah, come in.

219
00:10:24,491 --> 00:10:27,594
Sir, are you here
for Kendall Roy?

220
00:10:29,529 --> 00:10:32,265
- Hey, Kendall.
- Hey, Dan. Hey, man.

221
00:10:33,533 --> 00:10:34,868
Good luck. Just, uh...

222
00:10:34,868 --> 00:10:37,370
- Just best of luck.
- Thanks, man.

223
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:38,938
- Uh, great to speak.
- Yeah.

224
00:10:38,938 --> 00:10:40,573
But, uh...
But when this is over,

225
00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:43,243
uh, I think there needs to be
a big conversation about tech,

226
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:45,178
- is all I'd say.
- Great to speak.

227
00:10:45,178 --> 00:10:46,913
I'm gonna put Nate back on.

228
00:10:46,913 --> 00:10:49,490
Sure. And... and...
And may the best man

229
00:10:49,490 --> 00:10:51,518
who will, you know,
protect American jobs

230
00:10:51,518 --> 00:10:54,287
and reign in tech
and is called Daniel win,

231
00:10:54,287 --> 00:10:56,122
you know?

232
00:10:57,223 --> 00:10:59,392
Let's catch up.
Have a good one, man.

233
00:10:59,392 --> 00:11:00,527
Yeah, sure. Sure, man.

234
00:11:00,527 --> 00:11:04,297
You know, tonight,
my eye is just right here,

235
00:11:04,297 --> 00:11:07,133
making sure
it's fair as ****, all right?

236
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,569
Have a good night, man.
Stay hydrated.

237
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:29,556
- Hey, come on.
- Yep. Hell yeah.

238
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:31,424
Thank you.

239
00:11:34,461 --> 00:11:36,262
Busy, busy.
Hello, hello!

240
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:39,833
Look at you! Losing it,
like a massive ****ing loser.

241
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,501
Yeah.
Well, I blame you.

242
00:11:41,501 --> 00:11:43,903
- Couldn't deliver Connor, huh?
- Whoops.

243
00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:46,906
ATN scared to run all the fraud?

244
00:11:46,906 --> 00:11:48,742
Well, I keep
my hands out, you know?

245
00:11:48,742 --> 00:11:50,844
**** you. What is this? 'Cause,
you know, I'm quite busy.

246
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:53,413
- Oh, you're busy?
- Yes, I am busy.

247
00:11:53,413 --> 00:11:55,648
I don't run around town
like some ****ing food-bike guy,

248
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:57,117
- you know?
- Yeah.

249
00:11:57,117 --> 00:12:00,987
Just, uh, wanted to say
a couple things.

250
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,455
Yeah?

251
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:04,924
Very directly.

252
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,660
We still think we can win.

253
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:10,764
- Sure.
- But I am very focused

254
00:12:10,764 --> 00:12:11,831
on losing.

255
00:12:11,831 --> 00:12:14,340
- All right.
- Winning is easy.

256
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:15,669
Winning would take care
of itself.

257
00:12:15,669 --> 00:12:18,672
- Sure.
- But if I lose...

258
00:12:18,672 --> 00:12:22,375
I need to work on what ***holes
would call "The narrative."

259
00:12:22,375 --> 00:12:25,445
Uh-huh. Uh, like a
"insurgent campaign,

260
00:12:25,445 --> 00:12:27,347
unfairly maligned as extremist

261
00:12:27,347 --> 00:12:29,683
by the coastal
masturbation factories."

262
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:30,817
Exactly. If I lose,

263
00:12:30,817 --> 00:12:32,886
I want it
correctly characterized

264
00:12:32,886 --> 00:12:34,387
as a huge victory.

265
00:12:34,387 --> 00:12:37,570
- Over-performed, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

266
00:12:37,570 --> 00:12:40,460
I want to be the president.
I want you to...

267
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:42,562
be a partner in that,
and if it isn't tonight,

268
00:12:43,296 --> 00:12:44,297
it will be next time.

269
00:12:44,297 --> 00:12:46,320
Even if you're not going
to be the president,

270
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,867
you're going
to be our president.

271
00:12:47,867 --> 00:12:50,970
Exactly. You, me, we'll go far.

272
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,706
Over the road and into the bar.

273
00:13:05,318 --> 00:13:07,153
So, listen,
at some point tonight

274
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:08,822
could we do a chat, uh,

275
00:13:08,822 --> 00:13:10,857
in terms of the...
The me of things,

276
00:13:10,857 --> 00:13:13,259
and, like, how to play it?

277
00:13:13,259 --> 00:13:17,970
Because Matsson,
he treated me quite abominably,

278
00:13:17,970 --> 00:13:18,531
but it felt, like, trusting

279
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,100
and he was saying
a lot of things, and...

280
00:13:20,100 --> 00:13:21,334
Okay, okay.
Enough, enough, enough.

281
00:13:21,334 --> 00:13:23,903
Where's my coffee?

282
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:25,538
Tom, I don't do coffee anymore...

283
00:13:25,538 --> 00:13:27,440
No, Greg!

284
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,243
Greg, I have to be clear.
I have to.

285
00:13:30,243 --> 00:13:32,780
If I get drowsy,

286
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:37,170
and I miscall Colorado,
instability, right?

287
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:39,886
Then the US loses credibility,

288
00:13:39,886 --> 00:13:42,255
China spots an opportunity
and invades Taiwan.

289
00:13:42,255 --> 00:13:45,458
Tactical nukes.
****ing shit goes kablooey

290
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:46,693
and we're back to amoeba.

291
00:13:46,693 --> 00:13:49,429
It's a long way back
from pond life,

292
00:13:49,429 --> 00:13:52,565
'cause you failed to get me
a double shot, okay?

293
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:54,300
Okay. Well, do you...

294
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,569
do you want
some of what you asked for?

295
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:03,476
Um, no, I don't...
I don't think so.

296
00:14:03,476 --> 00:14:04,778
What do you think?

297
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:08,314
Maybe no. I me... Election night?

298
00:14:12,850 --> 00:14:14,788
- Um...
- Your... your call. I mean...

299
00:14:14,788 --> 00:14:17,957
Yeah, hit me.
But this is not a... not a thing.

300
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:19,292
Okay? It's not going in a book.

301
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:22,929
- It's just... Yeah, okay.
- Yeah. Quick, quick.

302
00:14:22,929 --> 00:14:24,970
Quick as a whistle.

303
00:14:29,690 --> 00:14:32,172
Oh. What do we have here?
What's on the,

304
00:14:32,172 --> 00:14:33,707
- uh, the board?
- What's on the board?

305
00:14:34,974 --> 00:14:36,443
- Want it?
- Thanks.

306
00:14:38,780 --> 00:14:40,313
Just rubbing
the board innocently.

307
00:14:40,313 --> 00:14:42,515
Simply cleaning
the whiteboard here.

308
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:46,319
- Okay.
- Uh...

309
00:14:46,319 --> 00:14:48,210
- Here you go.
- No, no. Not... not for me.

310
00:14:48,210 --> 00:14:49,522
- What?
- No. I'm just starting

311
00:14:49,522 --> 00:14:51,624
- to feel normal from last night.
- What, you'll do it with Matsson,

312
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:52,792
and not with me?

313
00:14:52,792 --> 00:14:54,361
I don't want you looking
all judgy all night. Come on.

314
00:14:54,361 --> 00:14:57,297
No, I need a clear head,
and I don't wanna get addicted

315
00:14:57,297 --> 00:14:59,432
- from two nights in a row.
- Shut up, Greg. Don't be Mom.

316
00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:01,100
- Come on.
- I don't want to, please.

317
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:04,204
Greg, it's medically good
for your brain. It is.

318
00:15:04,204 --> 00:15:05,672
What are you saying,
all Aztecs are stupid?

319
00:15:05,672 --> 00:15:08,174
Don't be a racist, little *****
about it. Come on.

320
00:15:08,174 --> 00:15:09,509
- Yeah, okay.
- Come on.

321
00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,679
Don't... What?
Are you pretending?

322
00:15:12,679 --> 00:15:14,647
- No, I'm...
- Are you pretending to do coke?

323
00:15:14,647 --> 00:15:16,282
- Some got up.
- Well, ****ing do it.

324
00:15:16,282 --> 00:15:18,885
- All right.
- There. God!

325
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:21,287
Okay.

326
00:15:24,124 --> 00:15:26,559
What the **** is that?

327
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,610
Oh, that. I guess they...

328
00:15:28,610 --> 00:15:29,829
They were ordering
some for folks,

329
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:30,897
I said why not get you one?

330
00:15:30,897 --> 00:15:34,534
Bodega sushi? Are you insane?

331
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:36,503
I... No... That's not me,
that's Samson.

332
00:15:36,503 --> 00:15:38,872
- That's...
- No, not Samson, Greg!

333
00:15:38,872 --> 00:15:41,474
Not Samson, not!

334
00:15:41,474 --> 00:15:43,476
I want you Gregging for me.

335
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:45,378
You're busted back down
to Greg tonight.

336
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:47,814
- No!
- Yeah! Tonight, my digestive system

337
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:50,160
is basically,
part of the constitution, okay?

338
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,851
Microwaved milk
and ginger shots.

339
00:15:51,851 --> 00:15:54,921
American bottled water.
Spaghetti and olive oil, okay?

340
00:15:55,689 --> 00:15:56,823
- Okay?
- Okay.

341
00:15:56,823 --> 00:15:58,892
Okay.

342
00:15:58,892 --> 00:16:00,226
Hey, Con!

343
00:16:00,226 --> 00:16:01,695
Tom!

344
00:16:01,695 --> 00:16:03,930
Yeah, I got this crew here.

345
00:16:03,930 --> 00:16:07,100
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- And they're filming the stuff,

346
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,371
but none of it is making it
on the show, dude.

347
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:13,239
Is there any film
in these cameras?

348
00:16:13,239 --> 00:16:17,210
Yeah, I think we are...
We are planning to feature, Con.

349
00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:19,679
Well, no, because I'm watching.

350
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:21,881
Now, I expected to be frozen out

351
00:16:21,881 --> 00:16:24,451
by all those other mooks,
but you guys? Come on.

352
00:16:24,451 --> 00:16:26,252
Gimme some sugar, man!

353
00:16:26,252 --> 00:16:28,388
I mean,
maybe everyone voted for me,

354
00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:30,557
- we don't know.
- Schrödinger's cat.

355
00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:34,600
Schrödinger's cat, Tom.
Until we open the boxes,

356
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,763
I'm just as much President
as the other two.

357
00:16:36,763 --> 00:16:39,299
- Yeah? So, come on. If I do it...
- Let's go. Let's go.

358
00:16:39,299 --> 00:16:40,633
That's the story of all time.

359
00:16:40,633 --> 00:16:42,469
Okay, well, I'll think...
I've... I've gotta go.

360
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:44,437
But I'll see what I can do,
but I've gotta go

361
00:16:44,437 --> 00:16:46,239
- 'cause the polls are closing.
- Yep.

362
00:16:46,239 --> 00:16:47,307
Okay.

363
00:16:48,408 --> 00:16:50,610
Okay, if it's gonna happen anywhere,

364
00:16:50,610 --> 00:16:52,212
it's gonna happen in Kentucky.

365
00:16:52,212 --> 00:16:53,813
Anything can happen.

366
00:16:53,813 --> 00:16:55,480
Anything.

367
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,117
- Anything can happen.
- Yeah.

368
00:16:57,117 --> 00:16:58,551
So glad I didn't drop out.

369
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:01,888
It just makes an election
so much more interesting,

370
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:03,123
- when you're in it.
- Mm-hmm.

371
00:17:03,123 --> 00:17:04,324
You gotta be in it to win it.

372
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:06,493
And it is seven o'clock
on the East Coast,

373
00:17:06,493 --> 00:17:08,395
which means polls
have just closed

374
00:17:08,395 --> 00:17:09,796
in half a dozen states.

375
00:17:09,796 --> 00:17:12,799
The most closely watched states
at this hour, Georgia,

376
00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:14,901
with its 16 electoral votes,

377
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:18,571
and Virginia, with its 13,
both key battleground states.

378
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:20,340
As of this moment,
it is too early

379
00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:21,908
to project a winner in either.

380
00:17:21,908 --> 00:17:23,643
- Okay.
- B ut our decision desk

381
00:17:23,643 --> 00:17:25,178
can announce, at this hour,

382
00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:26,913
that Representative
Jeryd Mencken

383
00:17:26,913 --> 00:17:28,982
will defeat
Governor Daniel Jimenez

384
00:17:28,982 --> 00:17:30,684
- in the Commonwealth of Kentucky...
- Ooh!

385
00:17:30,684 --> 00:17:32,619
As well as in
the state of Indiana... - Okay.

386
00:17:32,619 --> 00:17:34,854
Where Mencken has
enjoyed a lead over Jimenez...

387
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:36,589
Okay.
...In the pre-election polling.

388
00:17:36,589 --> 00:17:37,991
Governor Jimenez will win

389
00:17:37,991 --> 00:17:40,160
in the state of Vermont,
no big surprises there,

390
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,795
in the early part
of the evening.

391
00:17:41,795 --> 00:17:43,530
We will
need to look at more data

392
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:45,298
before we can make
a projection...

393
00:17:49,936 --> 00:17:52,500
Hey, **** Kentucky, Con.

394
00:17:53,340 --> 00:17:54,841
- No.
- Yes, **** 'em.

395
00:17:55,642 --> 00:17:57,811
No. I...

396
00:17:58,845 --> 00:18:00,280
I shan't become that, no.

397
00:18:02,182 --> 00:18:04,517
- Alas, Kentucky, Willa.
- Mmm.

398
00:18:06,486 --> 00:18:07,821
Alas, vanity.

399
00:18:10,623 --> 00:18:12,826
Voters have made
their voices heard.

400
00:18:12,826 --> 00:18:15,395
This could be
the most important election

401
00:18:15,395 --> 00:18:16,529
in our lifetime.

402
00:18:16,529 --> 00:18:18,231
- So with polls about to close...
- Nope.

403
00:18:18,231 --> 00:18:20,567
I told you, you can give it
to me, Billy. Thank you.

404
00:18:23,203 --> 00:18:24,337
As we heat up, Tom,

405
00:18:24,337 --> 00:18:25,872
uh, how much
do you want to give to...

406
00:18:25,872 --> 00:18:27,540
Fair bit of intimidation.

407
00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:29,376
His folks and ours.

408
00:18:29,376 --> 00:18:33,380
So, like, fire in Wisconsin,
in Milwaukee, could be nasty.

409
00:18:33,380 --> 00:18:36,683
Could be electrical failure.
Might be Menckenists.

410
00:18:36,683 --> 00:18:40,200
"Camera smashed,
crew harassed in Portland."

411
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,589
- That's them.
- Uh, I trust you.

412
00:18:42,589 --> 00:18:44,357
All of these counties here.

413
00:18:44,357 --> 00:18:47,761
Uh, again, a little, uh,
board malfunction here.

414
00:18:47,761 --> 00:18:50,930
- What's he doing? What's this?
- Bu t we'll be right back on it in a second...

415
00:18:50,930 --> 00:18:52,699
- Hey, Pam? What's going on?
- Hold... hold on.

416
00:18:52,699 --> 00:18:54,701
- The... the touchscreen.
- Hold on, we're checking it out.

417
00:18:54,701 --> 00:18:56,236
What's happening
with the touchscreen?

418
00:18:56,236 --> 00:18:58,271
- Tell him to stop touching the touchscreen!
- We have a replacement...

419
00:18:58,271 --> 00:19:00,206
- The touchscreen is malfunctioning!
- It's fine, it's fine.

420
00:19:00,206 --> 00:19:01,775
It's not fine! You can see
that it's not fine!

421
00:19:01,775 --> 00:19:03,910
- We have a replacement on the way.
- It's malfunctioning! ****!

422
00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:07,947
Touchscreen's malfunctioning!

423
00:19:09,683 --> 00:19:10,717
Touchscreen's malfunctioning!

424
00:19:10,717 --> 00:19:12,850
And we're gonna zoom in.

425
00:19:12,850 --> 00:19:14,921
Right where we can see,
right here, having a...

426
00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:16,423
The board seems to be acting up.

427
00:19:16,423 --> 00:19:17,924
What's going on
with the touchscreen?

428
00:19:17,924 --> 00:19:19,592
The touchscreen
is malfunctioning!

429
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:21,270
What's going on?
What the **** is going on?

430
00:19:21,270 --> 00:19:23,960
Right, we're on it.
Uh, graphics generator just...

431
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:24,597
- It... it shat the bed.
- What?

432
00:19:24,597 --> 00:19:25,865
Where is my touchscreen?

433
00:19:25,865 --> 00:19:27,200
- Don't... You're losing it, Dave.
- Find me a desk.

434
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,636
Don't lose it, Dave.
Don't lose it tonight, Dave!

435
00:19:29,636 --> 00:19:31,905
It is now 9:00 p.m.
on the East Coast.

436
00:19:31,905 --> 00:19:33,440
- Okay, can we get an ETA...
- Hello?

437
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,575
What the ****'s going
on with the touchscreen, Tom?

438
00:19:35,575 --> 00:19:36,810
I'm on it, I'm all over it.

439
00:19:36,810 --> 00:19:38,645
You're not on it.
****ing get on it.

440
00:19:38,645 --> 00:19:40,280
Figure it out, yeah?

441
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,415
Figure it out. Now!

442
00:19:42,415 --> 00:19:43,950
Hey, it's happening.
Ken, it's happening.

443
00:19:43,950 --> 00:19:45,452
We're about to get
a new batch, Greg,

444
00:19:45,452 --> 00:19:47,153
and if we drop numbers now,
I'm gonna come down there

445
00:19:47,153 --> 00:19:48,621
and put your ****ing head
through that touchscreen.

446
00:19:48,621 --> 00:19:50,423
- It's all in motion.
- Fix it, fix it, fix it.

447
00:19:50,423 --> 00:19:52,425
- No need to catastrophize.
- Where's the touchscreen, Pam?

448
00:19:52,425 --> 00:19:53,626
- Is it loading up?
- It's loaded up.

449
00:19:53,626 --> 00:19:55,328
Well, get it on air!
Get the new one on air.

450
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:57,297
We're gonna be hemorrhaging.
We're gonna be a laughingstock.

451
00:19:57,297 --> 00:19:59,666
We're on it, Tom.
No one will notice, okay?

452
00:19:59,666 --> 00:20:01,134
We've done this before.

453
00:20:01,134 --> 00:20:02,802
We have three,
and they're all lined up.

454
00:20:02,802 --> 00:20:04,137
No one will notice? I noticed.

455
00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:06,339
Am I no one?
Do I look like no one? Huh?

456
00:20:07,107 --> 00:20:08,274
Do I?

457
00:20:08,274 --> 00:20:10,410
How the **** are we
behind social media on this?

458
00:20:10,410 --> 00:20:11,911
All right,
we need to be leading this.

459
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,446
- Hey, Tom?
- Hello?

460
00:20:13,446 --> 00:20:15,949
You got this fire in Wisconsin.
You... you... you got this?

461
00:20:15,949 --> 00:20:18,518
Uh, yes, I think we...
Yes, I think we have that, yeah.

462
00:20:18,518 --> 00:20:21,187
- Electrical.
- Why aren't we covering, Tom?

463
00:20:21,187 --> 00:20:24,791
Um, well, because we always have
to choose what to focus on.

464
00:20:24,791 --> 00:20:27,460
And just because something
is on fire doesn't make it news.

465
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:29,863
- Uh, electrical failure?
- Not what we hear.

466
00:20:29,863 --> 00:20:32,432
No. It's... it's... it's not
what Nate hears, Tom.

467
00:20:32,432 --> 00:20:33,967
Well, bully for Nate.

468
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:35,669
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Nate.

469
00:20:35,669 --> 00:20:37,637
We need to be
all over this, Tom.

470
00:20:37,637 --> 00:20:41,174
Uh, yeah. I... Okay, I just think
it's important to, um,

471
00:20:41,174 --> 00:20:42,942
to keep our unique perspective

472
00:20:42,942 --> 00:20:44,978
because we are getting
conflicting reporting.

473
00:20:44,978 --> 00:20:46,680
Oh, what about the actual photos

474
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,314
I can see of it happening
on my ****ing phone?

475
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:50,617
Look, there are... there are
many, many things happening

476
00:20:50,617 --> 00:20:51,685
in this nation right now.

477
00:20:51,685 --> 00:20:53,530
Uh, there are
a million data points,

478
00:20:53,530 --> 00:20:56,289
and we... we have to select
the ones that are consequential.

479
00:20:56,289 --> 00:20:58,525
If these nutjobs
are going paramilitary,

480
00:20:58,525 --> 00:20:59,959
- we can say that.
- Yeah.

481
00:20:59,959 --> 00:21:03,630
Uh-huh. Yes, we just need
to respect our viewership.

482
00:21:03,630 --> 00:21:06,320
By not telling them anything
they don't want to hear?

483
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,535
You guys get this
about the Antifa firebombing

484
00:21:08,535 --> 00:21:09,836
in Milwaukee?

485
00:21:09,836 --> 00:21:13,139
No. Uh, we... we hear
it's his people, Mencken's.

486
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:17,243
Okay, when it becomes a story,
then we'll run the story.

487
00:21:17,243 --> 00:21:18,712
Well, this is
happening in, what,

488
00:21:18,712 --> 00:21:20,980
- a vote counting center? So...
- Yeah. It's a story, Tom.

489
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:21,981
- It's a story.
- I'm on it.

490
00:21:21,981 --> 00:21:23,883
- Do not micromanage me, please.
- Tom!

491
00:21:23,883 --> 00:21:25,385
- Yes? Yes?
- Tom! They're evacuating.

492
00:21:25,385 --> 00:21:27,821
We've got a local chopper up
and a reporter on the way.

493
00:21:27,821 --> 00:21:29,856
Okay. Uh, guys,
I've got to manage this.

494
00:21:29,856 --> 00:21:31,524
I'm gonna... I'm...
I'll keep you looped, yeah?

495
00:21:31,524 --> 00:21:33,360
- Talk to Greg, yeah?
- Oh.

496
00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:35,610
Yeah, hey, hey.

497
00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:36,262
Uh, happy to keep you

498
00:21:36,262 --> 00:21:37,731
- fully abreast here.
- We're not talking to Greg.

499
00:21:37,731 --> 00:21:39,899
- I can be your link-up guy.
- No. What the ****?

500
00:21:39,899 --> 00:21:41,334
Amateur hour down there.

501
00:21:41,334 --> 00:21:44,371
Uh, okay. So, if it happened
in Milwaukee,

502
00:21:44,371 --> 00:21:46,373
and if it's deliberate,
then it's Menckenists?

503
00:21:46,373 --> 00:21:48,410
Mmm. False flag. Could be.

504
00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:49,576
You can't just say
"false flag" every time

505
00:21:49,576 --> 00:21:52,212
- you don't ****ing agree with something.
- False flag. False flag.

506
00:21:52,212 --> 00:21:53,913
Okay, guys.

507
00:21:53,913 --> 00:21:55,949
We want to report
about a fire in Milwaukee,

508
00:21:55,949 --> 00:21:59,419
initially thought to have been
caused by an electrical failure.

509
00:21:59,419 --> 00:22:01,621
But now there are claims
and some counterclaims

510
00:22:01,621 --> 00:22:04,190
being made by groups
who were protesting

511
00:22:04,190 --> 00:22:06,259
- alleged voting irregularities.
- Hey.

512
00:22:06,259 --> 00:22:08,940
Okay, well, do you know
if any of the ballots

513
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:09,596
- are intact?
- It doesn't look likely.

514
00:22:09,596 --> 00:22:10,697
Where are you at?

515
00:22:10,697 --> 00:22:12,198
Depends how many votes
have gone.

516
00:22:12,198 --> 00:22:13,967
- But ballots have been lost?
- Oh, yeah.

517
00:22:13,967 --> 00:22:16,369
We're chartering flights
to Milwaukee.

518
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:19,305
A ton of number-crunching
by our analytics team.

519
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:21,408
We're trying to check
the Milwaukee County voter rolls

520
00:22:21,408 --> 00:22:23,943
to see who's voted so far,
but, uh...

521
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:25,979
Listen, can you help
with the narrative?

522
00:22:25,979 --> 00:22:27,414
Oh, yeah.

523
00:22:27,414 --> 00:22:30,383
Uh, okay, well, have you got
all the bodies that you need?

524
00:22:30,383 --> 00:22:33,286
Yeah. Yeah, we have bodies.
We have a SWAT team on it,

525
00:22:33,286 --> 00:22:35,121
they're interfacing
with the Wisconsin team.

526
00:22:41,494 --> 00:22:43,296
Apparently, he's just touching

527
00:22:43,296 --> 00:22:44,998
too hard for it.

528
00:22:44,998 --> 00:22:46,466
- He's touching with...
- What?

529
00:22:46,466 --> 00:22:48,668
What? No. Rome?

530
00:22:48,668 --> 00:22:51,171
Roman, no brass
on the battlefield, okay?

531
00:22:51,171 --> 00:22:52,505
That's one
of Logan's Geneva conventions.

532
00:22:52,505 --> 00:22:54,700
- Please, please.
- Just a pop-in. What's going on?

533
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:55,241
They evacuated the count center?

534
00:22:55,241 --> 00:22:57,143
No, I don't know, I just lost
another touchscreen.

535
00:22:57,143 --> 00:22:58,812
I'm down to my last
****ing touchscreen, okay?

536
00:22:58,812 --> 00:23:00,347
- What's going on?
- Oh, nothing.

537
00:23:00,347 --> 00:23:02,182
Tom just thinks
that China's hacking his tech.

538
00:23:02,182 --> 00:23:03,249
I do not, but I do think

539
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:04,684
you would be
more comfortable upstairs.

540
00:23:04,684 --> 00:23:06,119
- What?
- Greg? Will you please, uh...

541
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,787
- Oh, yes.
- Will you please help them upstairs?

542
00:23:07,787 --> 00:23:09,823
Yeah, guys,
do you mind if I wrangle...

543
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:10,924
Hello? Tom?

544
00:23:10,924 --> 00:23:12,625
- Hello, Siobhan.
- Can I just wrangle...

545
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:15,950
- Wrangle? Stop saying wrangle.
- Yeah. Are the ballots still in there?

546
00:23:15,950 --> 00:23:16,830
- Okay, where... where are we?
- What's going on?

547
00:23:16,830 --> 00:23:18,998
- Tom, can you catch us up?
- Greg, will you please, uh, take the VIPs

548
00:23:18,998 --> 00:23:20,467
- to a, uh, upstairs setting?
- Yes. I... I...

549
00:23:20,467 --> 00:23:22,335
- Tom!
- Can I grab the three of you and just...

550
00:23:22,335 --> 00:23:23,470
Tom!

551
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:24,771
- Yes?
- Reporter on the way.

552
00:23:24,771 --> 00:23:26,606
- Uh, three, four out.
- Okay. All right, all right.

553
00:23:26,606 --> 00:23:27,974
- Uh, Tom?
- Yes?

554
00:23:27,974 --> 00:23:30,176
Can I... can I have a word?

555
00:23:30,176 --> 00:23:31,678
I... This is...

556
00:23:31,678 --> 00:23:35,181
- I really... I really can't.
- This won't take long, Tom. Just...

557
00:23:35,181 --> 00:23:37,784
I know, but just let me...
Okay, I just...

558
00:23:38,818 --> 00:23:41,121
Can you please?
I just wanted to apologize

559
00:23:41,121 --> 00:23:44,557
for some of the things
that I said last night, okay?

560
00:23:44,557 --> 00:23:47,394
- Okay. Okay.
- And to...

561
00:23:48,795 --> 00:23:51,640
you know,
give you an opportunity to...

562
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,833
Uh-huh?
re... Okay.

563
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:56,302
Well, I can't do it
to that. So...

564
00:23:56,302 --> 00:24:00,600
How should I frame my face?

565
00:24:01,410 --> 00:24:03,677
Huh? You scared
that I'm gonna blab

566
00:24:03,677 --> 00:24:04,844
about you and Matsson?

567
00:24:04,844 --> 00:24:06,212
Jesus ****ing Christ,

568
00:24:06,212 --> 00:24:07,814
- Tom.
- What?

569
00:24:07,814 --> 00:24:09,382
My father just died, yeah?

570
00:24:09,382 --> 00:24:10,717
- My... Like...
- Yeah.

571
00:24:10,717 --> 00:24:13,253
My father just died.

572
00:24:13,253 --> 00:24:15,321
So maybe, you know,
I could get a little

573
00:24:15,321 --> 00:24:17,857
consideration on that and for,
you know, a number of reasons

574
00:24:17,857 --> 00:24:20,493
I've been feeling off-kilter,
so... I'm sorry,

575
00:24:20,493 --> 00:24:23,163
- but can I get a modicum of...
- Sure, sure.

576
00:24:23,163 --> 00:24:24,431
- What does that mean?
- Sure.

577
00:24:24,431 --> 00:24:25,432
"Sure."

578
00:24:25,432 --> 00:24:26,766
It means you hated him, Siobhan.

579
00:24:26,766 --> 00:24:28,702
I didn't hate him. I loved him.

580
00:24:28,702 --> 00:24:29,703
Well, it was complicated,

581
00:24:29,703 --> 00:24:31,838
but sometimes
you certainly hated him,

582
00:24:31,838 --> 00:24:34,774
and... and you also
sort of killed him.

583
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:38,511
Uh... Wow!

584
00:24:38,511 --> 00:24:40,447
What the...

585
00:24:40,447 --> 00:24:41,715
- Sort of.
- Oh, yeah. "Sort of."

586
00:24:41,715 --> 00:24:44,170
That's the part
that I'm gonna remember, thanks.

587
00:24:44,170 --> 00:24:46,252
No, thank you.
Okay, you know what?

588
00:24:46,252 --> 00:24:49,589
Actually, also, I'm pregnant.
Yeah? By you.

589
00:24:50,724 --> 00:24:54,600
And there's... there's
never a good time to say it,

590
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,430
but you need to know. So, okay.

591
00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:59,532
- Now you know.
- Right. Right.

592
00:25:02,402 --> 00:25:03,770
Is...

593
00:25:07,407 --> 00:25:08,408
that even true?

594
00:25:11,711 --> 00:25:13,279
What?

595
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:17,830
Like, is that even true,
or is that like a new position

596
00:25:17,830 --> 00:25:18,918
or a tactic? Or what?

597
00:25:19,619 --> 00:25:22,622
What?

598
00:25:24,758 --> 00:25:26,292
Um, okay.

599
00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:43,900
So, we have an area.
I guess, we... Is it upstairs?

600
00:25:43,900 --> 00:25:44,511
- Yeah, it's just...
- You okay?

601
00:25:44,511 --> 00:25:46,846
Yeah. Uh-huh, yep.

602
00:25:46,846 --> 00:25:49,983
I'm, uh...
Look, I think things are tough.

603
00:25:51,184 --> 00:25:53,987
With... with my situation
and Tom,

604
00:25:53,987 --> 00:25:56,823
- uh, but...
- You want us to have him killed?

605
00:25:56,823 --> 00:25:58,191
- Uh...
- We could do that.

606
00:25:58,191 --> 00:25:59,359
Yeah, maybe.

607
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:00,460
- I mean, I think...
- Okay.

608
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:02,662
You know, he's just...

609
00:26:02,662 --> 00:26:05,832
He's just a piece of filth,
and there's stuff

610
00:26:05,832 --> 00:26:09,102
I would like to tell you,
but, uh...

611
00:26:09,102 --> 00:26:11,671
Hey, I've been trying
to get them to move.

612
00:26:11,671 --> 00:26:13,707
Not in an aggressive way, but...

613
00:26:14,708 --> 00:26:15,642
If...

614
00:26:15,642 --> 00:26:17,210
Yeah, I mean,
you just can't trust him.

615
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:19,379
Yeah, we got you.

616
00:26:19,379 --> 00:26:20,647
In terms of the fire,

617
00:26:20,647 --> 00:26:21,881
- it is still burning.
- Thanks.

618
00:26:21,881 --> 00:26:23,950
And crews
are struggling to contain,

619
00:26:23,950 --> 00:26:25,552
let alone extinguish.

620
00:26:25,552 --> 00:26:27,854
Now, are there any reports
so far of injuries?

621
00:26:27,854 --> 00:26:29,389
None for now, fortunately.

622
00:26:29,389 --> 00:26:31,725
The building
was evacuated immediately

623
00:26:31,725 --> 00:26:33,590
and all workers
have been accounted for.

624
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:35,895
Well, I'm gonna sneak...
now that we're all in here.

625
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:37,697
There's a lot of confusion here
right now. It looks like...

626
00:26:37,697 --> 00:26:39,899
Who's responsible? - ...all
ballots have been received here.

627
00:26:39,899 --> 00:26:41,901
That's the story, right?
Who burnt this place down?

628
00:26:41,901 --> 00:26:43,203
Uh, to me, it always comes down

629
00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:45,572
to a couple of old favorites,
the Blacks or the Jews.

630
00:26:46,973 --> 00:26:50,760
- I'm kidding. It's a ****ing joke.
- Would you, please? Please?

631
00:26:51,644 --> 00:26:52,912
Got it.

632
00:26:52,912 --> 00:26:54,647
- All right. Here. Shiv. Just follow me.
- Hey, Connor.

633
00:26:54,647 --> 00:26:57,500
- Follow me.
- Rome.

634
00:26:57,500 --> 00:26:59,753
Um, Jeryd isn't picking up.

635
00:26:59,753 --> 00:27:00,887
Uh-huh. Yeah.

636
00:27:00,887 --> 00:27:02,889
I... I wonder
if it's a busy night for him?

637
00:27:02,889 --> 00:27:04,924
Um, because I wondered

638
00:27:04,924 --> 00:27:07,927
if what we talked about
might still be on offer?

639
00:27:07,927 --> 00:27:09,262
Ambassadorship-wise?

640
00:27:09,262 --> 00:27:12,980
Uh, yeah. Well, that was kind of
a yesterday offer, Connor.

641
00:27:12,980 --> 00:27:13,266
You know
if he doesn't make this,

642
00:27:13,266 --> 00:27:14,701
you're gonna be
partially ****ing responsible,

643
00:27:14,701 --> 00:27:16,102
- I hope you're cool with that.
- Rome.

644
00:27:16,102 --> 00:27:17,737
I spent like a hundred mil here.

645
00:27:17,737 --> 00:27:19,439
Couldn't I get a sniff

646
00:27:19,439 --> 00:27:21,740
of even a little guy?

647
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:23,877
Organize a little coup,
down in old Peru?

648
00:27:23,877 --> 00:27:25,512
Put me in a van to Tajikistan?

649
00:27:25,512 --> 00:27:27,747
Couldn't I just be
our fun guy in Uruguay?

650
00:27:27,747 --> 00:27:30,500
Your rhymes are compelling.
But what's in it for him, Con?

651
00:27:30,500 --> 00:27:33,119
Oh, maybe just one of
the finest political operators

652
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,854
of his generation
sorting shit out?

653
00:27:34,854 --> 00:27:37,524
Okay, yeah, I'll, uh...
I'll get back to you.

654
00:27:37,524 --> 00:27:38,925
Just this one.

655
00:27:38,925 --> 00:27:40,760
Every four years, in fact.

656
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,228
It's probably going to come down

657
00:27:42,228 --> 00:27:45,532
to a handful of states,
like Wisconsin, Ohio,

658
00:27:45,532 --> 00:27:48,134
Pennsylvania,
Georgia, and Arizona.

659
00:27:48,134 --> 00:27:50,570
Ignore the narratives early on,

660
00:27:50,570 --> 00:27:51,871
and just realize

661
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:53,807
that we're going to be in
for a dog fight,

662
00:27:53,807 --> 00:27:56,209
for a late night in those last
couple of states.

663
00:27:56,209 --> 00:27:58,144
It is 11:00 p.m.
on the East Coast.

664
00:27:58,144 --> 00:27:59,446
Uh-huh.
Polls have just closed

665
00:27:59,446 --> 00:28:00,980
in four more key states.

666
00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:03,450
- Okay, thanks.
- T he ATN decision desk can now project...

667
00:28:03,450 --> 00:28:07,870
Uh... So, under state law,
the vote can't be certified

668
00:28:07,870 --> 00:28:08,955
until the absentee ballots
are counted.

669
00:28:08,955 --> 00:28:11,458
So, no Wisconsin result is valid

670
00:28:11,458 --> 00:28:12,926
until the absentee ballots
are counted.

671
00:28:12,926 --> 00:28:14,828
Okay. And how does Daniel feel?

672
00:28:14,828 --> 00:28:16,963
Confident, but terrified.

673
00:28:16,963 --> 00:28:18,631
I don't know, is there...
Is there a name

674
00:28:18,631 --> 00:28:20,333
for that feeling? Cuspy?

675
00:28:20,333 --> 00:28:22,802
- Hey. Yeah.
- Rome. So, under Wisconsin law,

676
00:28:22,802 --> 00:28:25,505
- the vote can't be certified...
- Mencken says we're done. Wisconsin's done.

677
00:28:25,505 --> 00:28:27,774
- That's their position.
- But... Well, no.

678
00:28:27,774 --> 00:28:31,111
There's like 100,000 absentee
Milwaukee ballots missing.

679
00:28:31,111 --> 00:28:33,179
So we have to figure out
a way to go forward

680
00:28:33,179 --> 00:28:35,915
- knowing that information...
- Go forward to undermine Mencken's lead?

681
00:28:35,915 --> 00:28:37,183
Does he have a lead?

682
00:28:37,183 --> 00:28:38,518
- I mean, is... is that right?
- Yep, yes.

683
00:28:38,518 --> 00:28:40,353
- Uh, an artificial lead.
- Mmm.

684
00:28:40,353 --> 00:28:43,230
With 100,000 Milwaukee
absentee ballots missing.

685
00:28:43,230 --> 00:28:45,291
Every vote must be counted.

686
00:28:45,291 --> 00:28:47,260
- Eh.
- I think she's right.

687
00:28:47,260 --> 00:28:48,528
- What?
- Hmm, well...

688
00:28:48,528 --> 00:28:49,929
- I think she's right, Rome.
- Well, yeah, okay.

689
00:28:49,929 --> 00:28:51,698
But we... we... we can count
the votes that we have.

690
00:28:51,698 --> 00:28:54,834
However, unfortunately,
some are lost. So...

691
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:56,503
"Unfortunately, some are lost?"

692
00:28:56,503 --> 00:28:58,805
- Yep.
- Meaning, what? Fascist ****heads burnt them.

693
00:28:58,805 --> 00:29:00,106
We literally do not know that.

694
00:29:00,106 --> 00:29:02,108
It could very easily be
your ****s, they love fires.

695
00:29:02,108 --> 00:29:03,443
You're making hay
for political violence.

696
00:29:03,443 --> 00:29:05,111
Or your guys knew
they were going to lose,

697
00:29:05,111 --> 00:29:07,280
so they did something crazy
to throw it into question

698
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,882
- and get a revote.
- You don't believe that.

699
00:29:08,882 --> 00:29:10,383
Yeah, maybe I do. I don't know.

700
00:29:10,383 --> 00:29:11,618
Okay. Well, Jimenez

701
00:29:11,618 --> 00:29:13,486
is gonna take Pennsylvania,
Michigan, and Arizona.

702
00:29:13,486 --> 00:29:15,188
So I don't know why
you're getting so ****ing uppity

703
00:29:15,188 --> 00:29:16,389
- about this shit.
- Why are you getting so uppity

704
00:29:16,389 --> 00:29:17,691
about this shit
if you're so confident?

705
00:29:17,691 --> 00:29:19,626
Because if Mencken wins,
it's the end of the world, okay?

706
00:29:19,626 --> 00:29:21,610
So I'd like
a little ****ing cushion.

707
00:29:21,610 --> 00:29:23,296
Can we get ****ing real? Jimenez
won't block the GoJo deal.

708
00:29:23,296 --> 00:29:25,650
So **** the guy, right?

709
00:29:25,650 --> 00:29:27,333
Well, who knows? Maybe he would.
And that's not...

710
00:29:27,333 --> 00:29:30,136
We cannot let that
be the thing that's...

711
00:29:30,136 --> 00:29:32,572
That's not the thing, right?
Ken?

712
00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:38,812
- Uh...
- I don't know.

713
00:29:40,647 --> 00:29:41,848
- Ken.
- I don't know.

714
00:29:41,848 --> 00:29:45,180
No, don't... don't get cynical.

715
00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:48,355
It's... it's not... not cynical.
No. It's just...

716
00:29:49,522 --> 00:29:53,260
what's happening is happening.
Uh, I'm a realist.

717
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:55,762
Oh, yeah. Says the man
who'd cut his son's throat

718
00:29:55,762 --> 00:29:57,163
and then eat him
on the high pass.

719
00:29:57,163 --> 00:29:59,320
- Jesus ****ing Christ.
- We can all say nasty shit, Shiv.

720
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,434
Hey, so, uh, FVA is saying

721
00:30:01,434 --> 00:30:03,570
they have enough vote reported
to call Wisconsin.

722
00:30:03,570 --> 00:30:05,839
So, Freedom Voice America
and VeraNews are calling it.

723
00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:07,374
- Great, the maniacs.
- Okay. Wow.

724
00:30:07,374 --> 00:30:09,442
Well, can't get out-flanked
and we need to be fast.

725
00:30:09,442 --> 00:30:10,844
So I think
we should call it, right?

726
00:30:11,845 --> 00:30:14,800
- Hold on, hold on!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

727
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,820
Tom, what...
What is like an independent...

728
00:30:16,820 --> 00:30:17,584
Can... can you get us

729
00:30:17,584 --> 00:30:19,919
- Decision Desk Darwin?
- Yes. Yep.

730
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:22,589
I want to say a few words
about the emerging situation

731
00:30:22,589 --> 00:30:23,723
in Milwaukee.

732
00:30:23,723 --> 00:30:25,425
A situation the American...

733
00:30:25,425 --> 00:30:28,395
people are watching
with increasing concern.

734
00:30:28,395 --> 00:30:30,960
We have a process.

735
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,931
- And it is sacrosanct...
- "Respect the process.

736
00:30:31,931 --> 00:30:32,966
Count every vote."

737
00:30:32,966 --> 00:30:35,769
I mean, he's so ****ing dull.

738
00:30:35,769 --> 00:30:40,106
Flop your dick out, pop a nut.
Do something!

739
00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:42,308
That decision will have
no legitimacy

740
00:30:42,308 --> 00:30:45,979
if it does not account
for all the ballots cast.

741
00:30:45,979 --> 00:30:48,448
Okay, Dar. Thank you.
And we have some thoughts

742
00:30:48,448 --> 00:30:49,783
and some questions. And...

743
00:30:49,783 --> 00:30:51,785
Thank you, Darwin.
Do you have a result

744
00:30:51,785 --> 00:30:54,120
as it stands in Wisconsin?

745
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,289
- Uh, we've tallied the vote total so far.
- Okay.

746
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:57,957
- Yeah. Uh-huh. And?
- Margin for Mencken

747
00:30:57,957 --> 00:30:59,125
is significant.

748
00:30:59,125 --> 00:31:01,461
It couldn't be made up
by outstanding existing

749
00:31:01,461 --> 00:31:03,430
uncounted votes,
only the ones destroyed.

750
00:31:03,430 --> 00:31:06,660
Okay, and we're not waiting
for burned votes, so we call it.

751
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:07,467
- No, I... I think...
- Right?

752
00:31:07,467 --> 00:31:09,469
I think they have to
hold it again. No?

753
00:31:09,469 --> 00:31:10,804
Like, a... a revote?

754
00:31:10,804 --> 00:31:14,307
Uh, I would say a revote
is incredibly rare and complex

755
00:31:14,307 --> 00:31:16,409
because, while we theoretically
know everyone

756
00:31:16,409 --> 00:31:17,944
who requested
an absentee ballot,

757
00:31:17,944 --> 00:31:20,480
we don't entirely know
how many turned them in,

758
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,516
and there's nothing
in Wisconsin law

759
00:31:23,516 --> 00:31:25,151
that really covers what to do.

760
00:31:25,151 --> 00:31:26,686
Exactly. You can't do it. Boom!

761
00:31:26,686 --> 00:31:28,254
- Mencken. Thank you.
- But, of course,

762
00:31:28,254 --> 00:31:31,240
we think, um, we...
The team knows...

763
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:32,859
We know how the missing votes

764
00:31:32,859 --> 00:31:34,961
- would have broken down.
- What? They're gone.

765
00:31:34,961 --> 00:31:36,629
There's no way to know
what was on those ballots.

766
00:31:36,629 --> 00:31:39,666
- Well, we... we do know. Because in past elections...
- Mm, no.

767
00:31:39,666 --> 00:31:41,968
- Milwaukee overwhelmingly votes Democrat.
- You know what might be on them,

768
00:31:41,968 --> 00:31:43,770
but you don't actually know.

769
00:31:43,770 --> 00:31:47,140
Sure. I just,
basically, do know.

770
00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:48,942
- We do know.
- Because you're so plugged in,

771
00:31:48,942 --> 00:31:50,276
you know how all
the little peasants vote,

772
00:31:50,276 --> 00:31:51,544
what's in their hearts?
'Cause you don't know.

773
00:31:51,544 --> 00:31:53,179
Rome, come on. This is
the grown-ups table, be serious.

774
00:31:53,179 --> 00:31:55,480
This is serious.
Ballots get lost every election.

775
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:56,483
You can't get
burnt ballots back.

776
00:31:56,483 --> 00:31:58,510
Bullshit. Just bullshit.

777
00:31:58,510 --> 00:31:59,452
- Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
- You're bullshit. It's not bullshit.

778
00:31:59,452 --> 00:32:00,820
- Full of ****ing bullshit.
- Shiv? Shiv?

779
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:02,789
- What?
- You sound a little unhinged.

780
00:32:02,789 --> 00:32:04,570
You ****ing watch it, Tom.

781
00:32:04,570 --> 00:32:05,492
- We do know.
- Okay, okay.

782
00:32:05,492 --> 00:32:08,561
There's no way to say in here
how people would have voted.

783
00:32:08,561 --> 00:32:09,963
I mean, you wanna
just run your model

784
00:32:09,963 --> 00:32:11,231
and not bother
with all the people?

785
00:32:11,231 --> 00:32:13,400
We're saying, historically,
people overwhelmingly...

786
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,801
Historically,
people used to burn witches.

787
00:32:14,801 --> 00:32:16,469
- Are you saying we should do that?
- What the ****?

788
00:32:16,469 --> 00:32:18,538
"Burn witches"? Rome!
Look, we just know

789
00:32:18,538 --> 00:32:20,306
that the fire
would have destroyed

790
00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:21,808
a lot of Jimenez ballots.

791
00:32:21,808 --> 00:32:24,377
Oh, so, "Fire favors GOP,"
claims mad witch?

792
00:32:24,377 --> 00:32:27,213
- We just know.
- Okay. Well, we're not gonna rerun the election,

793
00:32:27,213 --> 00:32:29,382
and if the Right
gets wrongly blamed for this,

794
00:32:29,382 --> 00:32:31,217
what would that do?
If the Left does?

795
00:32:31,217 --> 00:32:33,420
- Could get nasty.
- Where are you going?

796
00:32:33,420 --> 00:32:35,588
I am going
to the bathroom to shit.

797
00:32:35,588 --> 00:32:37,390
Would you like me
to livestream it?

798
00:32:37,390 --> 00:32:39,592
We're going to be in
for a dog fight, for a late night...

799
00:32:39,592 --> 00:32:40,860
Ken, you wanna weigh in?

800
00:32:40,860 --> 00:32:42,429
And Mark
Ravenhead has some thoughts

801
00:32:42,429 --> 00:32:43,763
about what we've been seeing
so far tonight...

802
00:32:43,763 --> 00:32:47,333
- I just think it's hard.
- But we know. We just do.

803
00:32:47,333 --> 00:32:49,602
That if the lost votes
were counted,

804
00:32:49,602 --> 00:32:51,404
Jimenez would take the state.

805
00:32:51,404 --> 00:32:54,174
Mark is commenting directly,
ATN voice.

806
00:32:54,174 --> 00:32:56,343
Professional politicos
who, time after time,

807
00:32:56,343 --> 00:32:57,677
come up with, isn't this funny,

808
00:32:57,677 --> 00:33:02,415
with polls which undercount
support for traditional values.

809
00:33:02,415 --> 00:33:04,417
So, yeah, maybe some
of the crazies

810
00:33:04,417 --> 00:33:05,719
heard they were underperforming

811
00:33:05,719 --> 00:33:07,921
and decided to stop the counting
and destroy the evidence.

812
00:33:07,921 --> 00:33:10,724
And so, yeah,
"You just stay quiet."

813
00:33:10,724 --> 00:33:12,392
- Roman sent talking points.
- Oh.

814
00:33:12,392 --> 00:33:14,260
"We'll guess what
we think was on those ballots.

815
00:33:14,260 --> 00:33:16,960
- We'll decide," yeah?
- Is he down there?

816
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,697
- They know best, right?
- ****'s sake, Rome.

817
00:33:17,697 --> 00:33:19,650
And you'll eat what's for dinner

818
00:33:19,650 --> 00:33:20,633
because they don't really care
for folks who answer back

819
00:33:20,633 --> 00:33:22,135
- or ask too many questions.
- Should I...

820
00:33:22,135 --> 00:33:23,203
Shut up!

821
00:33:23,203 --> 00:33:24,938
Innumerate residuum!

822
00:33:24,938 --> 00:33:26,139
We'll figure it out,

823
00:33:26,139 --> 00:33:27,941
and issue you
with your new government

824
00:33:27,941 --> 00:33:30,744
to march into your homes
and take whatever we want

825
00:33:30,744 --> 00:33:32,812
in the way of your mechanisms
of self-defense,

826
00:33:32,812 --> 00:33:34,914
and tell your son
she's actually your daughter,

827
00:33:34,914 --> 00:33:36,549
or the other way around,
and then...

828
00:33:36,549 --> 00:33:38,985
Hey, Shiv, do you mind
actually not going on the floor?

829
00:33:38,985 --> 00:33:41,488
"It's all just peachy." Even
though it doesn't feel so peachy...

830
00:33:41,488 --> 00:33:43,456
- Shiv?
- That you can't go out at night,

831
00:33:43,456 --> 00:33:45,225
and the new president
is opening up his borders

832
00:33:45,225 --> 00:33:46,760
- to his friends, yeah...
- Bullshit.

833
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,495
Bullshit, Roman, **** you.

834
00:33:48,495 --> 00:33:51,297
It's obvious that we need to be
smarter than this, better than this.

835
00:33:51,297 --> 00:33:52,999
We need a ****ing
opposing viewpoint.

836
00:33:56,136 --> 00:33:58,304
Could you call security for me?

837
00:33:59,939 --> 00:34:03,900
Sorry, you can't come down here.
It's... it's not me, it's just...

838
00:34:03,900 --> 00:34:04,411
Hey, Lukas.

839
00:34:04,411 --> 00:34:06,120
What the **** is going on?

840
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,981
Uh, yeah,
great ****ing question.

841
00:34:07,981 --> 00:34:09,182
Powerful commentary, huh?

842
00:34:09,182 --> 00:34:11,985
I don't feel good,
necessarily, about this, Rome.

843
00:34:11,985 --> 00:34:12,986
Shucks!

844
00:34:14,754 --> 00:34:16,990
Is it okay? Do I need to hustle?

845
00:34:16,990 --> 00:34:18,858
Do I need to get ready
to be cozy

846
00:34:18,858 --> 00:34:21,194
with this ****ing Mr. Scary?

847
00:34:21,194 --> 00:34:22,962
No. No, I can handle.
I can handle it.

848
00:34:22,962 --> 00:34:25,310
Yeah, 'cause Greg tells me it's
getting kinda hairy in there.

849
00:34:25,310 --> 00:34:26,320
Mm-hmm.

850
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:27,834
Don't let them break
my toy, Shiv, okay?

851
00:34:27,834 --> 00:34:30,837
No. All good. I'll be in touch.

852
00:34:30,837 --> 00:34:33,139
Sorry, we just need you
off the floor, if that's okay.

853
00:34:33,139 --> 00:34:34,174
Yeah, got a minute?

854
00:34:34,174 --> 00:34:36,776
And now, apparently,

855
00:34:36,776 --> 00:34:40,513
the Democrats are accusing
this fire of being biased.

856
00:34:40,513 --> 00:34:42,148
That's right. Yeah, that sounds

857
00:34:42,148 --> 00:34:44,500
pretty much something
out of their camp.

858
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,219
"It only burnt
Democratic votes."

859
00:34:46,219 --> 00:34:47,687
Yeah? You know,
it's one of those...

860
00:34:47,687 --> 00:34:50,230
It's one of those picky fires.

861
00:34:53,293 --> 00:34:54,394
- Come on in.
- Yeah.

862
00:34:55,895 --> 00:34:58,965
- So...
- Yeah, just wanted to check in.

863
00:34:58,965 --> 00:35:02,702
- You know? It's been busy. So...
- Right. Yeah, on election day.

864
00:35:04,304 --> 00:35:05,405
Yeah.

865
00:35:05,405 --> 00:35:09,476
Yeah. So, how was your night,
last night, with Lukas?

866
00:35:11,678 --> 00:35:14,581
Shiv, I... I went
for a drink with him.

867
00:35:14,581 --> 00:35:17,350
- That... that's not my fault.
- Uh-huh.

868
00:35:20,860 --> 00:35:22,389
Do you find me
attractive, Gregory?

869
00:35:26,493 --> 00:35:30,960
I don't think of things
such as that.

870
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,990
Oh. Oh, I thought you were
a "disgusting brother."

871
00:35:33,990 --> 00:35:35,669
Is that... Was that
too disgusting for you?

872
00:35:36,670 --> 00:35:38,371
This is not appropriate.

873
00:35:39,839 --> 00:35:40,874
- It's...
- Uh-huh.

874
00:35:42,242 --> 00:35:44,778
Yeah, I, uh... I'm...
Sorry, I don't...

875
00:35:44,778 --> 00:35:46,446
'Cause I'm just
letting you know...

876
00:35:47,614 --> 00:35:49,349
that if you try to **** me...

877
00:35:50,517 --> 00:35:51,551
I'll kill you.

878
00:35:54,870 --> 00:35:55,355
- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm, got it.

879
00:35:56,923 --> 00:35:58,425
Got it. Sorry, yeah.

880
00:36:00,193 --> 00:36:02,762
I guess my... my only question...

881
00:36:04,197 --> 00:36:07,100
would be, if...
If anything did come to pass,

882
00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:09,636
in terms of you and he...

883
00:36:11,438 --> 00:36:14,207
- you know, silence is golden.
- Hmm.

884
00:36:16,443 --> 00:36:18,278
Like how golden?

885
00:36:18,278 --> 00:36:20,480
Uh-huh.
Is there an offer?

886
00:36:21,314 --> 00:36:24,384
Yeah. Uh, yeah.

887
00:36:24,384 --> 00:36:26,619
How about I offer for you
to keep all your internal organs

888
00:36:26,619 --> 00:36:29,222
on your insides, rather than
I pull them out your ***hole?

889
00:36:31,558 --> 00:36:34,600
Go on. You're lumber.

890
00:36:35,161 --> 00:36:36,463
Keep your snout out.

891
00:36:40,233 --> 00:36:43,636
Simultaneously destroying
diversity of opinion

892
00:36:43,636 --> 00:36:45,271
wherever possible...

893
00:36:46,473 --> 00:36:47,507
Hey, guess what?

894
00:36:49,242 --> 00:36:51,344
Mencken will block the deal.

895
00:36:51,344 --> 00:36:52,445
Straight up. He'll kill it.

896
00:36:52,445 --> 00:36:54,347
If he wins,
he'll refer it to FTC.

897
00:36:54,347 --> 00:36:56,282
Whatever, new law,
foreign ownership tightening.

898
00:36:56,282 --> 00:36:58,752
Whatever, he'll screw it up.
In exchange...

899
00:36:59,986 --> 00:37:01,154
for our support tonight.

900
00:37:01,154 --> 00:37:05,525
- In, like... in so many words?
- In those words.

901
00:37:05,525 --> 00:37:07,861
Shall I get Tom?
Shall I get the human abacus?

902
00:37:07,861 --> 00:37:09,662
Shall I? Let's do it.

903
00:37:11,970 --> 00:37:12,132
This is good news.

904
00:37:18,438 --> 00:37:19,439
Hey, hey.

905
00:37:19,439 --> 00:37:21,508
- Hey.
- So, uh, thanks for, uh...

906
00:37:21,508 --> 00:37:23,810
Whatever.
Uh, we have the votes. So...

907
00:37:24,377 --> 00:37:25,645
Can't rerun fairly

908
00:37:25,645 --> 00:37:29,150
and can't let lefty terrorism
affect us, so let's call it.

909
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:32,786
On what precedent?
By... by what authority?

910
00:37:32,786 --> 00:37:35,889
Uh, by the power of me,
the CEO of Waystar,

911
00:37:35,889 --> 00:37:38,191
telling you what to put on
the telly-box mouth-people.

912
00:37:38,191 --> 00:37:39,826
Uh...

913
00:37:39,826 --> 00:37:41,861
I don't think
we can do that, guys.

914
00:37:41,861 --> 00:37:43,329
I think we can do it, Dar.

915
00:37:43,329 --> 00:37:46,660
If we call it,
and the... the... the others

916
00:37:46,660 --> 00:37:47,400
- went his way...
- Right, well, look.

917
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,968
There are still
outstanding states.

918
00:37:48,968 --> 00:37:51,371
There's Michigan,
Ohio, Georgia, Arizona.

919
00:37:51,371 --> 00:37:53,390
It's really not that big a deal.
It's one state.

920
00:37:53,390 --> 00:37:54,674
I'm worried it's not a decision

921
00:37:54,674 --> 00:37:57,510
- that I could necessarily...
- Uh-huh. Yeah, thank you.

922
00:37:57,510 --> 00:37:59,212
And everyone
respects you, Darwin,

923
00:37:59,212 --> 00:38:01,181
but this isn't actually
a numbers thing.

924
00:38:01,181 --> 00:38:03,316
I mean, the Wisconsin
Elections Commission,

925
00:38:03,316 --> 00:38:05,850
the Milwaukee
Election Commission

926
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:08,321
will go to court and the camps
will litigate it.

927
00:38:08,321 --> 00:38:10,423
Mm-hmm.
And it'll be a jurisdiction fight

928
00:38:10,423 --> 00:38:11,758
that I think Mencken
might shade,

929
00:38:11,758 --> 00:38:14,427
- but, you know, we can't...
- Yeah, that's... that's great.

930
00:38:14,427 --> 00:38:17,697
Uh, but I'm just gonna say
we're good and that's on me.

931
00:38:17,697 --> 00:38:19,899
The votes that exist
have been tallied,

932
00:38:19,899 --> 00:38:21,267
and that gives Mencken
the state.

933
00:38:21,267 --> 00:38:24,700
But you don't... you don't
make the call. I make the call.

934
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:25,572
We're gonna make
the call together, Tom...

935
00:38:25,572 --> 00:38:27,841
You can't make the call
until I make the call.

936
00:38:27,841 --> 00:38:29,943
Okay. So... and I'm not
gonna make you do anything.

937
00:38:29,943 --> 00:38:31,511
This is the situation
in Wisconsin.

938
00:38:31,511 --> 00:38:35,248
How would you feel if we were
to not "call it" call it,

939
00:38:35,248 --> 00:38:36,383
but, um...

940
00:38:36,383 --> 00:38:39,185
Like, pending.
We could call it pending.

941
00:38:39,185 --> 00:38:40,420
You could even explain it.

942
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:43,890
We can get a camera on you
to explain it to people.

943
00:38:43,890 --> 00:38:45,892
We had a number of Jimenez
campaign surrogates over the last week,

944
00:38:45,892 --> 00:38:48,261
sounding the alarm
about the lack of turnout

945
00:38:48,261 --> 00:38:50,864
- of Black and Latino voters...
- I could explain.

946
00:38:52,650 --> 00:38:55,769
And could there be a graphic
that makes it clear

947
00:38:55,769 --> 00:38:57,470
the call isn't a...

948
00:38:59,272 --> 00:39:00,240
"call" call?

949
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,775
"Pending call."

950
00:39:03,576 --> 00:39:04,944
Okay, okay.

951
00:39:05,578 --> 00:39:06,980
- Uh...
- Mm! Sorry.

952
00:39:06,980 --> 00:39:08,114
Okay.

953
00:39:08,948 --> 00:39:10,550
- All right, so...
- Yeah?

954
00:39:10,550 --> 00:39:12,218
- Okay.
- Satisfied, ****y ****s?

955
00:39:12,218 --> 00:39:13,153
- Okay.
- Soon as we can.

956
00:39:13,153 --> 00:39:15,321
- Great.
- Uh...

957
00:39:16,456 --> 00:39:18,391
What's up?

958
00:39:18,391 --> 00:39:20,460
You okay? What?

959
00:39:20,460 --> 00:39:22,629
There's something
in my eyes. Um...

960
00:39:22,629 --> 00:39:26,332
Greg? Wasabi.

961
00:39:26,332 --> 00:39:29,302
Is it wasabi?
There's wasabi in my eyes?

962
00:39:29,302 --> 00:39:31,304
- I've got wasabi in my eyes?
- Oh, Jesus.

963
00:39:31,304 --> 00:39:32,505
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

964
00:39:35,108 --> 00:39:36,910
No, it's gone more in.
It's gone more in.

965
00:39:36,910 --> 00:39:38,278
- What's going on?
- It's on my fingers.

966
00:39:38,278 --> 00:39:39,813
What's going on?

967
00:39:39,813 --> 00:39:41,581
- What did you do to him?
- It stings!

968
00:39:41,581 --> 00:39:44,150
- What?
- Get some water or something, Greg!

969
00:39:44,150 --> 00:39:45,685
Holy mother!
Mother of God.

970
00:39:45,685 --> 00:39:47,821
- **** me slowly, this smarts.
- Okay.

971
00:39:47,821 --> 00:39:49,956
Quick Greg, put water in it.
Put water in...

972
00:39:51,157 --> 00:39:53,126
- It's washing it in!
- That's lemon!

973
00:39:53,126 --> 00:39:54,427
It's lemon, Greg!

974
00:39:54,427 --> 00:39:56,830
- That's clear. It's La Croix!
- Jesus! ****, Greg.

975
00:39:56,830 --> 00:39:58,331
- What are you doing?
- Oh, come on.

976
00:39:58,331 --> 00:40:00,600
- It's lemony, Greg. It's lemony!
- It's La Croix!

977
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,202
Jesus H. Christ!

978
00:40:02,202 --> 00:40:03,970
- No, it's natural! Like, medical!
- Get some tissues, man.

979
00:40:03,970 --> 00:40:06,206
Give it to me. Oh, my God.

980
00:40:06,206 --> 00:40:09,900
It's not that lemony!
It's just a hint of lemon.

981
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:11,344
Darwin? You good to call it?

982
00:40:11,344 --> 00:40:13,179
He can't ****ing call it, Rome.

983
00:40:13,179 --> 00:40:14,547
We're calling it, Shiv.

984
00:40:14,547 --> 00:40:16,816
- He just called it, okay?
- Great. Thanks.

985
00:40:16,816 --> 00:40:20,520
Greg, do not put
any more lemon water,

986
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,989
or wasabi, in his eyes, okay?

987
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,396
Hey, Con, you shouldn't
really be in here.

988
00:40:29,396 --> 00:40:31,331
And a very good evening
to you, too.

989
00:40:31,331 --> 00:40:33,967
- Hey! Presidente. Sike!
- Rome. Sweetheart. One sec.

990
00:40:33,967 --> 00:40:35,802
Would you wait over here
for me a second, baby?

991
00:40:35,802 --> 00:40:37,871
- Uh, sure.
- Fellas, would you wait over here for me a second?

992
00:40:37,871 --> 00:40:39,706
- Yeah. Yep? Mm-hmm?
- Rome. One thought.

993
00:40:39,706 --> 00:40:41,307
How about I concede

994
00:40:42,750 --> 00:40:43,910
in his direction?

995
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:46,579
I scratch his balls,
he scratches mine?

996
00:40:46,579 --> 00:40:49,215
That's interesting.
Uh, perhaps-ish.

997
00:40:49,215 --> 00:40:51,484
- Let me check on that, yeah.
- "Perhaps-ish"?

998
00:40:51,484 --> 00:40:52,986
- Perhaps-ish, yeah. Come on.
- I'm coming.

999
00:40:52,986 --> 00:40:54,821
Seventeen
electoral votes... - TOM: Pam?

1000
00:40:54,821 --> 00:40:57,230
We're calling, uh, Wisconsin
for Mencken.

1001
00:40:57,230 --> 00:40:57,991
Get the graphics up.

1002
00:40:57,991 --> 00:40:59,192
Dave, let them know
we're five out

1003
00:40:59,192 --> 00:41:00,760
- from calling Wisconsin.
- All right.

1004
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,429
We are calling Wisconsin
for Mencken.

1005
00:41:02,429 --> 00:41:03,930
Five minutes.
Is that graphic ready?

1006
00:41:03,930 --> 00:41:06,666
There is a big ol' call
to make right now,

1007
00:41:06,666 --> 00:41:09,769
and that is ATN is projecting
that Jeryd Mencken

1008
00:41:09,769 --> 00:41:11,838
has won the state of Wisconsin.

1009
00:41:11,838 --> 00:41:13,940
You know, we've been
reporting on that fire

1010
00:41:13,940 --> 00:41:16,760
in the Milwaukee
vote count center.

1011
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:17,711
Nonetheless, our decision desk

1012
00:41:17,711 --> 00:41:20,246
is confident
in making this call.

1013
00:41:20,246 --> 00:41:23,283
Jeryd Mencken has won
the state of Wisconsin,

1014
00:41:23,283 --> 00:41:26,920
and there goes the blue wall.
That's ten electoral votes, that

1015
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,889
brings Mencken up to 246...

1016
00:41:29,889 --> 00:41:33,930
Okay, man. Okay.
There's something there.

1017
00:41:33,930 --> 00:41:35,428
Sordid backseat **** job.

1018
00:41:35,428 --> 00:41:37,464
Oh, tell me more.

1019
00:41:37,464 --> 00:41:39,990
He wants
to keep up the momentum.

1020
00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:42,369
Jeryd Mencken
is now 24 electoral votes away

1021
00:41:42,369 --> 00:41:44,700
from winning the presidency.

1022
00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:45,305
Do you really wanna?

1023
00:41:45,972 --> 00:41:47,374
Slovenia, Willa.

1024
00:41:48,441 --> 00:41:49,442
Mm-hmm.

1025
00:41:51,411 --> 00:41:55,315
I mean, I am torn,
and he's very, uh, right-wing.

1026
00:41:57,650 --> 00:42:02,422
But Vienna for lunch,
Venice for dinner.

1027
00:42:02,422 --> 00:42:04,491
And Dubrovnik for breakfast.

1028
00:42:05,492 --> 00:42:07,930
My fellow Americans,

1029
00:42:07,930 --> 00:42:10,797
it's becoming clear tonight,
that as far as we can tell,

1030
00:42:10,797 --> 00:42:12,599
Mr. Jeryd Mencken will likely be

1031
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,768
the next president
of the United States.

1032
00:42:14,768 --> 00:42:16,670
- Yes.
- Mm-hmm.

1033
00:42:16,670 --> 00:42:18,605
- And I, for one, wish him well.
- Connor was running for president?

1034
00:42:18,605 --> 00:42:21,441
For although I
set out a clear and compelling path...

1035
00:42:21,441 --> 00:42:24,177
- Okay, all right.
- ...America, in her divine wisdom,

1036
00:42:24,177 --> 00:42:25,979
has chosen to take another.

1037
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:29,849
Well, good luck. And...

1038
00:42:29,849 --> 00:42:31,618
I'd like to say
to my first running mate,

1039
00:42:31,618 --> 00:42:33,853
who I will not dignify
with a name-check,

1040
00:42:33,853 --> 00:42:37,257
but had that woman
not dropped out,

1041
00:42:37,257 --> 00:42:39,526
and then had I not
had to replace her

1042
00:42:39,526 --> 00:42:40,694
with another figure,

1043
00:42:40,694 --> 00:42:42,495
who turned out not to be able
to bear the weight

1044
00:42:42,495 --> 00:42:43,763
of public scrutiny,

1045
00:42:43,763 --> 00:42:47,767
had I not been betrayed
by those two jackrabbits,

1046
00:42:48,301 --> 00:42:49,869
who knows?

1047
00:42:49,869 --> 00:42:53,673
Politics of envy. Ugly game.

1048
00:42:54,441 --> 00:42:56,142
I happen to be a billionaire.

1049
00:42:56,943 --> 00:42:58,545
Sorry.

1050
00:42:58,545 --> 00:43:00,814
But honestly, America,
you flunked it.

1051
00:43:00,814 --> 00:43:02,382
I guess
you're gonna have to find

1052
00:43:02,382 --> 00:43:05,618
some other poor mook's paps
to suckle on.

1053
00:43:05,618 --> 00:43:07,200
- Okay.
- The corrupt bipartisan

1054
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,622
- system zombie marches on.
- All right.

1055
00:43:09,622 --> 00:43:11,558
And so I call out
to my friends tonight,

1056
00:43:11,558 --> 00:43:12,726
to my people.

1057
00:43:12,726 --> 00:43:16,830
I say, Conheads, I salute you.
And, America, be afraid.

1058
00:43:17,664 --> 00:43:18,698
Be warned...

1059
00:43:19,666 --> 00:43:21,368
for the Conheads are coming.

1060
00:43:21,368 --> 00:43:23,970
Thank you. God bless America.

1061
00:43:23,970 --> 00:43:26,373
ATN decision desk
is now projecting

1062
00:43:26,373 --> 00:43:28,908
Daniel Jimenez
has won the state of Michigan

1063
00:43:28,908 --> 00:43:30,877
- over Jeryd Mencken.
- Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1064
00:43:30,877 --> 00:43:33,546
That's 15 electoral votes.
Our tally now goes...

1065
00:43:33,546 --> 00:43:35,810
- Are you ready for this?
- All right, all right.

1066
00:43:35,810 --> 00:43:36,916
Two-hundred-and-sixty-two
for Mencken,

1067
00:43:36,916 --> 00:43:41,221
- and 262 for Daniel Jimenez.
- A dead heat.

1068
00:43:41,221 --> 00:43:43,230
Polls will be
closing soon in Alaska,

1069
00:43:43,230 --> 00:43:46,526
the only state yet to be called
other than Arizona

1070
00:43:46,526 --> 00:43:48,528
and its 11 electoral votes.

1071
00:43:48,528 --> 00:43:50,530
Let's maybe go harass
the decision desk about what's

1072
00:43:50,530 --> 00:43:52,766
- taking so long for Arizona.
- Guys. Uh, just a heads-up.

1073
00:43:52,766 --> 00:43:55,201
We hear... We are getting it
from the campaigns

1074
00:43:55,201 --> 00:43:56,736
that the data nerds

1075
00:43:56,736 --> 00:44:00,273
are hearing that...
Well, Dar, you say.

1076
00:44:00,273 --> 00:44:03,610
So, uh, Arizona is gonna go red.

1077
00:44:03,610 --> 00:44:04,911
All right,
well then that's, uh...

1078
00:44:04,911 --> 00:44:06,946
- That would be it, right?
- I mean, we're...

1079
00:44:06,946 --> 00:44:10,283
We're kind of boxed in,
uh, because of Wisconsin.

1080
00:44:10,283 --> 00:44:12,585
Uh, I mean, I... I don't
feel comfortable calling it.

1081
00:44:12,585 --> 00:44:14,688
I mean, PGN is gonna be
calling it. Right, Tom?

1082
00:44:14,688 --> 00:44:16,589
- Yeah...
- I mean, they're going to call Arizona.

1083
00:44:16,589 --> 00:44:19,693
Because if we call it,
because of Wisconsin, we...

1084
00:44:19,693 --> 00:44:21,594
we called Wisconsin
"pending," so...

1085
00:44:21,594 --> 00:44:24,300
Yeah, we already
called Wisconsin, okay?

1086
00:44:24,300 --> 00:44:25,632
We can't
un-call Wisconsin, can we?

1087
00:44:25,632 --> 00:44:27,967
That would make us all look
pretty unprofessional.

1088
00:44:27,967 --> 00:44:30,704
So, Arizona?

1089
00:44:30,704 --> 00:44:34,400
- We're calling the election?
- Yeah.

1090
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,141
- No, no.
- No?

1091
00:44:35,141 --> 00:44:36,476
- No.
- It's math, dude.

1092
00:44:36,476 --> 00:44:37,944
Tom, will you guys give us
a minute, please?

1093
00:44:37,944 --> 00:44:39,813
- ****.
- Sure, okay.

1094
00:44:39,813 --> 00:44:42,215
One minute.
Be back in one minute, please.

1095
00:44:42,215 --> 00:44:43,817
What?

1096
00:44:43,817 --> 00:44:45,552
- That's it. That's it.
- I don't know, Rome.

1097
00:44:45,552 --> 00:44:47,220
Like, maybe... maybe we...

1098
00:44:48,822 --> 00:44:50,223
revisit Wisconsin.

1099
00:44:50,223 --> 00:44:51,958
Okay.
- KENDALL: Because, yeah, we... I mean, we...

1100
00:44:51,958 --> 00:44:54,661
- That was... kind of...
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1101
00:44:54,661 --> 00:44:55,795
- Right?
- Okay, I get it.

1102
00:44:55,795 --> 00:44:57,564
No, you're gonna, like,
big brother it right now.

1103
00:44:57,564 --> 00:44:59,265
- That's what you're gonna do?
- No.

1104
00:44:59,265 --> 00:45:00,800
- Like what?
- Oh, like when, you know,

1105
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,635
if you want roast chicken
and I wanted steak,

1106
00:45:02,635 --> 00:45:04,700
we always had chicken.

1107
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:06,740
Because you'd... you'd freak out.
You'd tantrum.

1108
00:45:06,740 --> 00:45:08,975
- So they thought...
- I would ****ing tantrum

1109
00:45:08,975 --> 00:45:10,744
because I never had
****ing steak.

1110
00:45:10,744 --> 00:45:13,947
Well, I think
they got scared if...

1111
00:45:13,947 --> 00:45:16,249
you know, if you tantrumed,
then you'd think you'd won,

1112
00:45:16,249 --> 00:45:17,684
- so they couldn't let you...
- I never won.

1113
00:45:17,684 --> 00:45:18,952
It was always ****ing chicken.

1114
00:45:18,952 --> 00:45:20,520
So, because we had so much
chicken when we were kids,

1115
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,623
- I have to like the fascist?
- Yeah.

1116
00:45:23,623 --> 00:45:24,858
If we don't call it early

1117
00:45:24,858 --> 00:45:26,826
and he wins anyway,
which is perfectly possible,

1118
00:45:26,826 --> 00:45:29,195
but without us tonight?
Think about that.

1119
00:45:29,195 --> 00:45:31,970
With FVA and VeraNews
backing him,

1120
00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:33,466
we're left the most
dickless eunuchs in cuck town.

1121
00:45:33,466 --> 00:45:35,468
- We call it? We call this?
- Mm-hmm.

1122
00:45:35,468 --> 00:45:37,337
- If we push it...
- Yeah?

1123
00:45:37,337 --> 00:45:38,538
Maybe it happens.

1124
00:45:38,538 --> 00:45:40,874
Yeah. We give it to Mencken,
Mencken blocks the deal.

1125
00:45:40,874 --> 00:45:42,609
He's not ****ing wishy-washy.
He's a guy.

1126
00:45:42,609 --> 00:45:44,511
I don't know, dude.
I mean...

1127
00:45:44,511 --> 00:45:48,381
Exactly. All of the
mainstream media. All of the Democrats...

1128
00:45:48,381 --> 00:45:49,482
My kids.

1129
00:45:49,482 --> 00:45:52,318
- The whole thing.
- "Oh, America! Oh."

1130
00:45:52,318 --> 00:45:56,220
Well, I mean, it is kind of
a nice idea, you know?

1131
00:45:56,220 --> 00:45:57,624
All the different people together.

1132
00:45:57,624 --> 00:46:01,728
What? All right.
What... what would Dad do?

1133
00:46:01,728 --> 00:46:03,630
- Oh, come on.
- I don't know. I don't actually know.

1134
00:46:03,630 --> 00:46:04,898
Yes, you ****ing do, man!

1135
00:46:04,898 --> 00:46:05,899
The guy in the pocket.

1136
00:46:05,899 --> 00:46:07,000
The guy that's gonna answer
our calls.

1137
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,202
The ****ing guy
printing US dollars.

1138
00:46:09,202 --> 00:46:10,537
This is all upside.

1139
00:46:10,537 --> 00:46:12,672
Apart from the matter of him
smashing the country to pieces.

1140
00:46:12,672 --> 00:46:14,874
Oh, God! Don't be
such a ****ing prissy...

1141
00:46:14,874 --> 00:46:17,770
Okay, maybe we could deal
with a dose of that, right?

1142
00:46:17,770 --> 00:46:18,912
Like a nice little dose
of the frighteners?

1143
00:46:18,912 --> 00:46:20,146
Wind shit back 20?

1144
00:46:20,146 --> 00:46:22,749
You know one of those ****ing
guys pushed my daughter.

1145
00:46:22,749 --> 00:46:25,185
- Uh, she's okay?
- If we do this...

1146
00:46:27,387 --> 00:46:28,822
people...
people are gonna say shit.

1147
00:46:28,822 --> 00:46:31,524
Yeah. We'll be in the West Wing.
Nothing matters, Ken.

1148
00:46:31,524 --> 00:46:33,360
Nothing ****ing matters.
Dad's dead,

1149
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,428
and the country's
just a big pussy

1150
00:46:35,428 --> 00:46:36,663
waiting to get ****ed.

1151
00:46:38,264 --> 00:46:40,233
****ing...
action, okay?

1152
00:46:40,233 --> 00:46:41,434
We can pay for any damages.

1153
00:46:41,434 --> 00:46:44,370
Let's just jam our ****in' heads
in the bosom of history

1154
00:46:44,370 --> 00:46:45,939
and just...

1155
00:46:45,939 --> 00:46:48,441
Right? I mean...
Or, we sit on our hands

1156
00:46:48,441 --> 00:46:50,210
like a couple
of damsels in distress,

1157
00:46:50,210 --> 00:46:53,179
and, you know,
watch our chance slip away.

1158
00:46:53,179 --> 00:46:56,516
PGN has
a major projection to announce,

1159
00:46:56,516 --> 00:46:59,352
and that is that Jeryd Mencken
will win Arizona.

1160
00:46:59,352 --> 00:47:02,880
So, he is the winner
of 11 electoral votes

1161
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:03,423
in Arizona...

1162
00:47:03,423 --> 00:47:05,525
- Hey.
- Hey.

1163
00:47:05,525 --> 00:47:07,894
Can we talk for a minute?

1164
00:47:07,894 --> 00:47:11,965
Yeah. We're ****ed, Ken.
We're ****ed.

1165
00:47:11,965 --> 00:47:13,366
Because we called, it's ****ed.

1166
00:47:13,366 --> 00:47:15,902
I don't know what we should do.
I feel like my head is just...

1167
00:47:15,902 --> 00:47:17,871
I... I can't... I can't, uh...

1168
00:47:19,205 --> 00:47:21,241
get the scale of it,
what this is.

1169
00:47:21,241 --> 00:47:22,976
I mean, we can recant, yeah?

1170
00:47:22,976 --> 00:47:27,547
His team is being very direct.
They will block Matsson's deal.

1171
00:47:28,448 --> 00:47:29,983
Uh, well, he says he will.

1172
00:47:29,983 --> 00:47:32,118
We call it for him,
that gives him legitimacy

1173
00:47:32,118 --> 00:47:33,119
to declare.

1174
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:35,555
I mean, we're in bed
with him, I think, yeah?

1175
00:47:35,555 --> 00:47:36,823
Yeah, I...

1176
00:47:36,823 --> 00:47:39,726
I mean, it'll get ground out
in the courts, whatever we say.

1177
00:47:40,393 --> 00:47:42,950
Sure, right. But...

1178
00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:43,997
Yeah, look, shall we be...

1179
00:47:45,432 --> 00:47:48,301
- totally honest in here?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

1180
00:47:48,301 --> 00:47:50,503
I have sometimes felt

1181
00:47:50,503 --> 00:47:52,572
like I could do it.

1182
00:47:52,572 --> 00:47:55,442
You know, like,
I should do it. Me.

1183
00:47:55,442 --> 00:47:57,277
- Uh-huh.
- Just me.

1184
00:47:58,645 --> 00:48:00,580
But I don't want that
to be an end

1185
00:48:00,580 --> 00:48:04,170
to the...
the family thing, right?

1186
00:48:04,170 --> 00:48:06,119
I would just... I would like
to be able to talk...

1187
00:48:06,986 --> 00:48:09,989
openly about
that feeling, maybe.

1188
00:48:11,124 --> 00:48:13,660
Sure. Yeah, no, I appreciate...
I appreciate that.

1189
00:48:13,660 --> 00:48:17,263
Mencken is kinda Roman's guy,
so that's complicated.

1190
00:48:17,263 --> 00:48:21,340
- Yeah, right.
- And, honestly, I feel...

1191
00:48:21,340 --> 00:48:23,636
threatened, maybe,
by their relationship, and...

1192
00:48:24,270 --> 00:48:25,638
So I want...

1193
00:48:25,638 --> 00:48:27,674
A piece of me wants
to not support that,

1194
00:48:27,674 --> 00:48:30,944
and that's maybe in there,
pulling away from Mencken.

1195
00:48:31,311 --> 00:48:32,312
Uh-huh.

1196
00:48:34,447 --> 00:48:39,185
- But also, you're a good guy.
- Well, I don't know.

1197
00:48:39,185 --> 00:48:41,388
- Sure. You are.
- Thank you.

1198
00:48:41,388 --> 00:48:43,623
- I don't know.
- No, essentially, you're...

1199
00:48:43,623 --> 00:48:44,891
You're a good guy.

1200
00:48:50,196 --> 00:48:53,199
But we... we all
wanna stop Matsson, right?

1201
00:48:53,199 --> 00:48:56,360
- That's the thing?
- Mm-hmm.

1202
00:48:57,971 --> 00:48:58,972
Yeah.

1203
00:48:59,906 --> 00:49:01,700
Go... go on.

1204
00:49:01,700 --> 00:49:03,576
Uh, well, I think whatever...

1205
00:49:05,780 --> 00:49:08,381
Whatever advantage to us as...
As... as corporate players

1206
00:49:08,381 --> 00:49:09,582
in the short term...

1207
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,530
You know...

1208
00:49:13,530 --> 00:49:16,856
He's...
Mencken's the nightmare, yeah?

1209
00:49:17,691 --> 00:49:19,659
Plausible in a decadent era.

1210
00:49:19,659 --> 00:49:22,729
He says the bad shit,
he believes the bad shit.

1211
00:49:22,729 --> 00:49:25,310
We wouldn't actually
be making him president.

1212
00:49:25,310 --> 00:49:27,534
Oh, sure. We might not be able
to crown him, but we can...

1213
00:49:27,534 --> 00:49:29,269
We can stop him.

1214
00:49:29,269 --> 00:49:32,380
He gets momentum tonight,
it makes it possible.

1215
00:49:32,839 --> 00:49:34,607
He needs our call.

1216
00:49:44,417 --> 00:49:46,453
I don't think
I'm a very good father.

1217
00:49:48,455 --> 00:49:52,959
You are. You're...
No, you're okay.

1218
00:49:52,959 --> 00:49:57,970
You've tried.
That's all we can do.

1219
00:49:57,970 --> 00:50:02,435
- Maybe the poison drips through.
- No. No. And you know what?

1220
00:50:02,435 --> 00:50:04,704
I don't think even Dad
would back him tonight.

1221
00:50:04,704 --> 00:50:07,807
- He basically picked him.
- Sure, but we throw the papers

1222
00:50:07,807 --> 00:50:09,142
and the whole thing in for him?

1223
00:50:09,142 --> 00:50:11,444
And then in a... in a month,
a week from now,

1224
00:50:11,444 --> 00:50:12,712
the courts go the other way?

1225
00:50:12,712 --> 00:50:14,748
It's... We're essentially done
as a news organization.

1226
00:50:14,748 --> 00:50:16,583
It's just hard to think

1227
00:50:16,583 --> 00:50:18,451
we'd give it all away
to Matsson.

1228
00:50:21,621 --> 00:50:25,625
Could we try?
Could you try once?

1229
00:50:25,625 --> 00:50:29,662
Direct to Nate, to get something
from them to block the deal?

1230
00:50:30,330 --> 00:50:32,499
Uh... yeah.

1231
00:50:35,100 --> 00:50:37,303
- Yeah.
- Sure.

1232
00:50:39,172 --> 00:50:41,107
- One of these?
- Yeah.

1233
00:50:43,677 --> 00:50:44,744
You're a good guy.

1234
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:48,281
Okay, yeah.

1235
00:51:04,831 --> 00:51:06,332
Hey, Nate.

1236
00:51:06,332 --> 00:51:10,136
Yeah, just calling
with a quick, uh, check-in.

1237
00:51:12,105 --> 00:51:14,374
- Uh, yeah.
- W e're sorry. The number you have reached...

1238
00:51:14,374 --> 00:51:16,609
- To be honest, just wondering if Jimenez...
- is not in service.

1239
00:51:16,609 --> 00:51:19,512
- Please check the number, or try your call
again. - SHIV: I don't know, could he...

1240
00:51:21,314 --> 00:51:24,217
- So, um...
- M encken now stands at 265...

1241
00:51:24,217 --> 00:51:26,853
Yeah, Shiv's seeing
what we can get from the Dems.

1242
00:51:26,853 --> 00:51:28,555
Oh, get the **** out of here.

1243
00:51:28,555 --> 00:51:31,157
- Why? We got it.
- I really need to know what we're doing, guys.

1244
00:51:31,157 --> 00:51:32,892
If we're gonna stick
with Wisconsin...

1245
00:51:32,892 --> 00:51:36,960
- Okay, one moment. One moment, Tom. One moment.
- We're gonna stick... Ugh.

1246
00:51:36,629 --> 00:51:39,532
So? You talk to him?

1247
00:51:39,532 --> 00:51:40,967
Uh, yeah. I think there's, uh...

1248
00:51:40,967 --> 00:51:42,469
there's...
There's something there.

1249
00:51:42,469 --> 00:51:45,805
- No, there's not.
- Like? Like?

1250
00:51:45,805 --> 00:51:48,742
Like, they might be...
They are... willing to think.

1251
00:51:48,742 --> 00:51:51,440
Oh! They might be,
or maybe they are,

1252
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,130
willing to think. Maybe.

1253
00:51:53,130 --> 00:51:54,748
- That sounds like horseshit.
- No. Rome.

1254
00:51:54,748 --> 00:51:56,583
They're just not so direct.

1255
00:51:56,583 --> 00:51:59,552
Yeah? I... I... I think we can
probably get 'em to stop it.

1256
00:51:59,552 --> 00:52:00,920
Oh, they "probably."
Yeah, go.

1257
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,156
Sorry, no.
Uh, game over. Bullshit.

1258
00:52:03,156 --> 00:52:04,758
No. We have to call it.

1259
00:52:04,758 --> 00:52:06,893
- Mencken is rock-solid.
- Roman, even Dad...

1260
00:52:06,893 --> 00:52:09,950
Even... even Dad,
in this situation,

1261
00:52:09,950 --> 00:52:10,764
- would respect the process.
- No!

1262
00:52:10,764 --> 00:52:12,332
Dad did whatever the ****
he wanted.

1263
00:52:12,332 --> 00:52:14,601
He... One fax,
he took out a government.

1264
00:52:14,601 --> 00:52:16,770
He did the "**** Lyle!" Send.

1265
00:52:16,770 --> 00:52:18,238
And that was it.
That's all it took.

1266
00:52:18,238 --> 00:52:20,373
****ing Canada, here.
He didn't give a shit.

1267
00:52:20,373 --> 00:52:21,875
He liked stability, Rome.
He pushed,

1268
00:52:21,875 --> 00:52:23,176
but he didn't want shit
to unravel.

1269
00:52:23,176 --> 00:52:25,879
He... he helped end...
I mean, he ended wars.

1270
00:52:25,879 --> 00:52:27,470
He ended wars that he started.

1271
00:52:27,470 --> 00:52:28,281
He did whatever
the **** he wanted.

1272
00:52:28,281 --> 00:52:30,500
What did they say, Shiv?

1273
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:31,584
Like, what did Nate
actually say?

1274
00:52:31,584 --> 00:52:33,253
He said, uh, they would talk,

1275
00:52:33,253 --> 00:52:35,550
and that they
could see the arguments,

1276
00:52:35,550 --> 00:52:37,524
and I... I... I think
it's encouraging.

1277
00:52:38,591 --> 00:52:40,126
You felt like
it was encouraging? Wow!

1278
00:52:40,126 --> 00:52:41,628
It was.
It was encouraging.

1279
00:52:41,628 --> 00:52:43,863
It was a feeling.
I got something real.

1280
00:52:43,863 --> 00:52:45,865
This is ****in' pointless.

1281
00:52:45,865 --> 00:52:47,434
- What a waste of time.
- What are you doing?

1282
00:52:47,434 --> 00:52:49,569
I'm gonna call.
I... I... I'm just gonna...

1283
00:52:49,569 --> 00:52:50,637
I'm gonna be very direct.

1284
00:52:50,637 --> 00:52:52,272
We just... we just need
a little bit more,

1285
00:52:52,272 --> 00:52:53,640
- and, uh...
- Don't call him.

1286
00:52:54,740 --> 00:52:55,275
Why?

1287
00:52:55,275 --> 00:52:57,811
They're... Uh, they're busy.

1288
00:53:04,718 --> 00:53:07,954
Can't have uncertainty.
Can't. ****ing market.

1289
00:53:07,954 --> 00:53:10,724
The chaos of trying to rerun
an entire election

1290
00:53:10,724 --> 00:53:12,592
could just send the country
into meltdown, you know?

1291
00:53:12,592 --> 00:53:14,394
- Okay. Bad faith argument.
- I'm telling you.

1292
00:53:14,394 --> 00:53:16,629
I'm just telling you.
You cannot have uncertainty.

1293
00:53:16,629 --> 00:53:18,631
- China is coming.
- "China is coming"?

1294
00:53:18,631 --> 00:53:20,800
- China's coming.
- China's already been. Next.

1295
00:53:22,969 --> 00:53:25,972
It's not like the ****ing
"final" final anyway.

1296
00:53:25,972 --> 00:53:27,340
Okay? There's the court shit,

1297
00:53:27,340 --> 00:53:29,809
and it all kind of
just fuzzes along, you know?

1298
00:53:29,809 --> 00:53:31,845
It's just a waste
of ****ing time.

1299
00:53:31,845 --> 00:53:33,580
That we don't have, by the way.

1300
00:53:36,616 --> 00:53:38,852
Hey, Greg?
Can I ask you a question?

1301
00:53:38,852 --> 00:53:40,120
What's up?

1302
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,856
Do you know
if there's something going on?

1303
00:53:44,424 --> 00:53:48,328
What else Nate and Gil
and ****ing Jimenez offer you?

1304
00:53:48,328 --> 00:53:51,431
Unlimited social security spending
with this one weird trick?

1305
00:54:01,541 --> 00:54:02,942
How was that call?

1306
00:54:04,110 --> 00:54:06,346
What'd you get?
Whole bunch of not much?

1307
00:54:07,881 --> 00:54:09,783
Really?

1308
00:54:09,783 --> 00:54:12,452
- What?
- "I think you're a good guy"?

1309
00:54:14,654 --> 00:54:17,323
Uh, well...
I found it hard to get Nate,

1310
00:54:17,323 --> 00:54:18,892
so I summarized
some impressions.

1311
00:54:18,892 --> 00:54:22,195
Oh, right, right, right.
Smart. Really good, Shiv.

1312
00:54:23,496 --> 00:54:24,731
But you lied.

1313
00:54:24,731 --> 00:54:26,660
- Oh...
- Right?

1314
00:54:26,660 --> 00:54:27,901
She didn't get anything
from Nate.

1315
00:54:27,901 --> 00:54:29,569
- Really?
- She didn't speak to Nate.

1316
00:54:29,569 --> 00:54:31,371
And she's in with Matsson.

1317
00:54:31,371 --> 00:54:33,730
- Mm...
- Sorry, what?

1318
00:54:33,730 --> 00:54:36,420
No, I... No.

1319
00:54:36,420 --> 00:54:40,800
No. I... I... I... I did
what we all agreed to,

1320
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:42,150
that I got close to him
so that I could help...

1321
00:54:42,150 --> 00:54:44,484
- Shiv's ****ing us. Right, Shivy?
- Wow.

1322
00:54:44,484 --> 00:54:47,887
No. No! No, no, no.
I... I... I... I... I... I...

1323
00:54:47,887 --> 00:54:49,422
- "I... I... I... I... I..."
- was...

1324
00:54:49,422 --> 00:54:51,358
I ****ing some asked you
some real questions, Shiv.

1325
00:54:51,358 --> 00:54:52,592
I wondered why
you looked like a goose

1326
00:54:52,592 --> 00:54:55,610
trying to shit a house brick,
you piece of dirt.

1327
00:54:55,610 --> 00:54:57,897
Okay, what? You got yourself
a little ****ing side deal here?

1328
00:54:57,897 --> 00:55:00,200
No. No. I have some options.
I... I was, uh...

1329
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,350
- I was going through with the plan.
- Uh-huh.

1330
00:55:02,350 --> 00:55:05,405
- And then you two...
- Well, Mencken. Mencken, right?

1331
00:55:05,405 --> 00:55:07,107
- Mencken.
- No! What?

1332
00:55:07,107 --> 00:55:08,875
Tom!

1333
00:55:08,875 --> 00:55:11,411
- No! You even wanted to push us out of the ****ing nest.
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

1334
00:55:11,411 --> 00:55:13,413
- Sure, sis. Sure, sure, sure.
- Please! Ken.

1335
00:55:13,413 --> 00:55:15,582
Aside from all this,
this is not the right thing.

1336
00:55:15,582 --> 00:55:17,250
Aside from the fact
that you lied to us,

1337
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:19,185
and that doing what you want
precisely plays into

1338
00:55:19,185 --> 00:55:21,921
- your own interests, yeah?
- Oh, and this doesn't? Yeah?

1339
00:55:21,921 --> 00:55:25,458
Ken, please, come on.
Come on! Who are we?

1340
00:55:25,458 --> 00:55:27,930
Oh, yeah. Will no one think
of the children?

1341
00:55:27,930 --> 00:55:29,950
You know what? No, I'm not
gonna let this happen.

1342
00:55:29,950 --> 00:55:30,764
There comes a time...

1343
00:55:30,764 --> 00:55:33,500
"There comes a time..." -...when
you have to stand up for what you...

1344
00:55:34,134 --> 00:55:35,402
Seriously. This is real.

1345
00:55:35,402 --> 00:55:36,803
Mm-hmm.
Okay? I have a concern

1346
00:55:36,803 --> 00:55:38,738
for the state of the republic,
and... and pluralism and...

1347
00:55:38,738 --> 00:55:40,540
- And the future of this country.
- I'm snoring.

1348
00:55:40,540 --> 00:55:41,875
- You're so boring.
- And it... It is real.

1349
00:55:41,875 --> 00:55:43,610
You're such
a bore, Shiv. Jesus.

1350
00:55:44,411 --> 00:55:47,914
- **** you. Ken?
- He's right.

1351
00:55:47,914 --> 00:55:50,717
Yeah. You're boring. And you
don't have a pass for in here.

1352
00:55:50,717 --> 00:55:53,860
Okay, well, fine. You know what?
I'm... Maybe I'll... I'll go pu...

1353
00:55:53,860 --> 00:55:54,287
I'll... I'll... I'll go public.

1354
00:55:54,287 --> 00:55:55,922
- Oh yeah?
- I'll go to the papers,

1355
00:55:55,922 --> 00:55:57,490
and people, and... and tell 'em
what you're actually ****ing doing.

1356
00:55:57,490 --> 00:55:59,592
Wow. Well, if you're
gonna just be hysterical,

1357
00:55:59,592 --> 00:56:00,727
we're gonna have to, you know,

1358
00:56:00,727 --> 00:56:02,128
- ask you to leave.
- **** you!

1359
00:56:02,128 --> 00:56:03,797
People are trying to do
some serious work in here.

1360
00:56:03,797 --> 00:56:06,399
**** you. This is about
the future of the country.

1361
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:09,690
No, I think it's because
you broke up

1362
00:56:09,690 --> 00:56:10,503
with your boyfriend.

1363
00:56:10,503 --> 00:56:12,272
Jesus, you're a prick.

1364
00:56:12,272 --> 00:56:13,473
Hello.

1365
00:56:13,473 --> 00:56:14,674
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey.

1366
00:56:14,674 --> 00:56:17,510
- So, call it. You can call it.
- No!

1367
00:56:17,510 --> 00:56:19,479
- We're calling it?
- Yeah. We called Wisconsin,

1368
00:56:19,479 --> 00:56:21,314
now we're gonna call Arizona,
so we call the election.

1369
00:56:21,314 --> 00:56:22,682
- We call the election?
- Call it.

1370
00:56:22,682 --> 00:56:24,918
- Call it.
- No. No, Tom. No.

1371
00:56:24,918 --> 00:56:27,200
You're making
a terrible mistake.

1372
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:29,656
- Please don't.
- Hey, guys, it's not my call.

1373
00:56:29,656 --> 00:56:31,240
It's not my call.

1374
00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:33,260
- It's your call. It's up to you.
- Okay? It's our call.

1375
00:56:33,260 --> 00:56:35,495
- If you say so, I say so.
- Call it. I say so.

1376
00:56:35,495 --> 00:56:37,864
****ing Pontius Pilate.

1377
00:56:37,864 --> 00:56:39,699
No one cares.
No one... no one cares.

1378
00:56:39,699 --> 00:56:42,350
- Hey, yeah. Okay.
- Hey. Tell 'em I'm coming down.

1379
00:56:42,350 --> 00:56:45,500
Yes. We're gonna call it.
Yeah, we're calling for Mencken.

1380
00:56:45,500 --> 00:56:46,206
- All right.
- Oh.

1381
00:56:46,206 --> 00:56:48,842
Okay. Tell 'em I'm coming.
All right. Okay.

1382
00:56:48,842 --> 00:56:50,877
- Great work, Tom.
- Thank you.

1383
00:56:53,446 --> 00:56:54,681
Good stuff. Great night.

1384
00:57:00,153 --> 00:57:03,957
- ****.
- You okay?

1385
00:57:05,325 --> 00:57:08,395
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I, uh... I... I...

1386
00:57:08,395 --> 00:57:10,730
I have to go, um...

1387
00:57:10,730 --> 00:57:14,300
tell them, I think...
we're calling it. For Mencken.

1388
00:57:15,301 --> 00:57:16,636
- Whoa.
- Yeah.

1389
00:57:18,171 --> 00:57:19,205
So...

1390
00:57:19,205 --> 00:57:20,340
- I should... I should...
- Right.

1391
00:57:20,340 --> 00:57:22,976
I should go. I'll get in trouble
if I don't go.

1392
00:57:22,976 --> 00:57:25,679
Okay, dude. I mean...

1393
00:57:25,679 --> 00:57:28,140
Yeah. I mean,
it's not really my choice,

1394
00:57:28,140 --> 00:57:29,516
- right? So...
- Sure.

1395
00:57:29,516 --> 00:57:32,485
- I mean, right. Yeah.
- Yeah.

1396
00:57:32,485 --> 00:57:33,987
I'm just...
I'm pressing the button.

1397
00:57:33,987 --> 00:57:35,522
Or I'm not even
pressing the button, I'm just...

1398
00:57:35,522 --> 00:57:39,590
I'm asking them to prepare
to press the button.

1399
00:57:39,590 --> 00:57:41,394
Right,
and all that does is just, like,

1400
00:57:41,394 --> 00:57:44,300
launch a nuclear attack.

1401
00:57:45,765 --> 00:57:47,367
So...

1402
00:57:47,367 --> 00:57:50,870
It's not gonna change anything
if I don't go. So...

1403
00:57:50,870 --> 00:57:53,506
- Couple minutes. So, I mean...
- Right, right.

1404
00:57:53,506 --> 00:57:56,276
- You...
- But realistically...

1405
00:57:59,579 --> 00:58:01,281
Wow.

1406
00:58:03,917 --> 00:58:05,852
- Crazy.
- Yeah.

1407
00:58:05,852 --> 00:58:06,920
Crazy.

1408
00:58:08,521 --> 00:58:12,392
Crazy one.

1409
00:58:15,261 --> 00:58:18,310
So, Tom just told me.

1410
00:58:19,432 --> 00:58:21,634
Everybody,
calling it for Mencken.

1411
00:58:22,736 --> 00:58:23,870
He's calling it for Mencken.

1412
00:58:25,538 --> 00:58:27,374
- Everyone, yeah?
- So he said, yeah?

1413
00:58:27,374 --> 00:58:29,309
- I just said.
- I'm calling it for Mencken.

1414
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:31,111
Okay?

1415
00:58:32,979 --> 00:58:34,647
- Okay.
- Okay, yeah.

1416
00:58:36,820 --> 00:58:38,385
Okay. Well, then, uh, Dave?

1417
00:58:38,385 --> 00:58:40,954
Okay. Uh, Lydia,
get me "Mencken wins."

1418
00:58:40,954 --> 00:58:43,656
Get the ticker going on,
uh, ATN Citizens.

1419
00:58:43,656 --> 00:58:46,760
Let the people know, two mins,
and ATN is gonna call it.

1420
00:58:47,994 --> 00:58:49,829
We are gonna make this call now.

1421
00:58:49,829 --> 00:58:53,299
The ATN decision desk
has looked at the numbers

1422
00:58:53,299 --> 00:58:58,304
and is ready to declare Arizona
for Jeryd Mencken.

1423
00:58:58,304 --> 00:59:01,508
This means that Mencken
will be the next president

1424
00:59:01,508 --> 00:59:04,177
of the United States,
winning the most unreal,

1425
00:59:04,177 --> 00:59:06,980
surreal election we have
ever seen in this country.

1426
00:59:06,980 --> 00:59:09,150
His candidacy
starting in Virginia

1427
00:59:09,150 --> 00:59:10,183
only six months ago

1428
00:59:10,183 --> 00:59:12,585
against a dozen
other Republican candidates

1429
00:59:12,585 --> 00:59:13,753
in the wake of the president

1430
00:59:13,753 --> 00:59:16,189
saying he wasn't going
to run for re-election.

1431
00:59:16,189 --> 00:59:19,859
What started off
as an unlikely impossibility,

1432
00:59:19,859 --> 00:59:22,429
now a reality, it is Mencken.

1433
00:59:22,429 --> 00:59:24,831
Uh, well...

1434
00:59:24,831 --> 00:59:27,767
It's now clear I have won

1435
00:59:27,767 --> 00:59:31,304
sufficient electoral votes
to be declared

1436
00:59:31,304 --> 00:59:34,207
the next president
of the United States.

1437
00:59:35,709 --> 00:59:38,712
And I find
the responsibility awesome!

1438
00:59:40,146 --> 00:59:41,848
Now, I know
there are some who feel

1439
00:59:41,848 --> 00:59:43,483
there is something left
to contest.

1440
00:59:43,483 --> 00:59:48,154
But votes have been cast,
votes have been tallied.

1441
00:59:48,154 --> 00:59:52,580
On another day, in another time,
they might have fallen

1442
00:59:52,580 --> 00:59:54,227
in another fashion.

1443
00:59:54,227 --> 00:59:55,695
The election
has been called for me

1444
00:59:55,695 --> 00:59:58,565
by an authority
of known integrity.

1445
00:59:58,565 --> 01:00:01,501
Maybe we should get,
um, like, a history guy?

1446
01:00:01,501 --> 01:00:03,303
You know, like a brain...

1447
01:00:03,303 --> 01:00:04,571
Like a real brainiac,

1448
01:00:04,571 --> 01:00:09,209
to say why this sort of thing
has happened in the past,

1449
01:00:09,209 --> 01:00:11,644
and that it'll all be fine?

1450
01:00:11,644 --> 01:00:15,248
To my critics,
I am not a demagogue.

1451
01:00:16,149 --> 01:00:19,886
I am a defender of democracy.

1452
01:00:19,886 --> 01:00:26,260
But democracy, it has this
tendency that we have to beware

1453
01:00:26,260 --> 01:00:28,361
to become mere transaction.

1454
01:00:28,361 --> 01:00:31,364
I give you this.
You give me that.

1455
01:00:31,364 --> 01:00:36,936
I come begging for your vote.
Welfare checkbook out.

1456
01:00:36,936 --> 01:00:39,773
Crowning the welfare
kings and queens

1457
01:00:39,773 --> 01:00:42,800
till everyone has become
a little tyrant,

1458
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:43,243
crowned by the state.

1459
01:00:44,411 --> 01:00:45,679
The model that I follow

1460
01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:48,415
isn't from
the scorched marketplace,

1461
01:00:48,415 --> 01:00:52,619
where cunning men
haggle for the best price.

1462
01:00:52,619 --> 01:00:55,755
That's not me.
The democracy I believe in

1463
01:00:55,755 --> 01:00:58,458
is where a leader
emerged from the people,

1464
01:00:59,292 --> 01:01:01,761
willed almost into being,

1465
01:01:01,761 --> 01:01:03,930
brought forth
by the great sweetness

1466
01:01:03,930 --> 01:01:06,466
of the virtue
of the combined wisdom

1467
01:01:06,466 --> 01:01:09,469
of the good people
of this republic.

1468
01:01:10,737 --> 01:01:14,774
Don't we long sometimes
for something clean

1469
01:01:14,774 --> 01:01:18,778
once in this polluted land?
That's what I hope to bring.

1470
01:01:18,778 --> 01:01:21,314
Not something grubby
with compromise.

1471
01:01:21,314 --> 01:01:24,551
Something clean and true,
and refreshing.

1472
01:01:24,551 --> 01:01:26,653
He's a guy
we can do business with.

1473
01:01:26,653 --> 01:01:27,620
Yeah.

1474
01:01:27,620 --> 01:01:29,122
Something proud and pure...

1475
01:01:29,122 --> 01:01:31,925
He'll play ball. You should
hear him talk semiconductors.

1476
01:01:31,925 --> 01:01:34,894
And God bless the United States of
America. - The market's holding the leash.

1477
01:01:34,894 --> 01:01:36,796
We just made a night of good TV.

1478
01:01:36,796 --> 01:01:39,566
That's what we've done.
Nothing happens.

1479
01:01:40,233 --> 01:01:42,802
Things do happen, Rome.

1480
01:01:49,750 --> 01:01:50,310
President calling.

1481
01:01:52,512 --> 01:01:54,414
Yo, Hocus-POTUS.

1482
01:01:54,414 --> 01:01:56,750
Sitting in the POTUS position.
What's up?

1483
01:01:56,750 --> 01:01:58,518
Hey, man. I...
Look, no time.

1484
01:01:58,518 --> 01:02:01,955
But just... just thanks, yeah?
You and me, man. We'll go far.

1485
01:02:01,955 --> 01:02:03,757
Over the road and into the bar.

1486
01:02:05,425 --> 01:02:07,961
An election unlike anything
we've ever seen,

1487
01:02:07,961 --> 01:02:10,960
followed by a speech
for the ages...

1488
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,966
The legal process
is gonna be lengthy.

1489
01:02:12,966 --> 01:02:14,667
When do you think
it'll all be over?

1490
01:02:14,667 --> 01:02:17,137
This... this could be going on
for the next three months.

1491
01:02:17,137 --> 01:02:18,171
- Hey, Tom?
- Uh-huh.

1492
01:02:18,171 --> 01:02:20,674
Your phone. It's, uh...
It's red-hot, Tom.

1493
01:02:20,674 --> 01:02:23,877
It, uh... A lot
of very important people are...

1494
01:02:23,877 --> 01:02:26,279
A lot of very important people
wanna scream at you.

1495
01:02:26,279 --> 01:02:27,847
But allegedly, allegedly...

1496
01:02:27,847 --> 01:02:29,182
This is a little pointed.

1497
01:02:29,182 --> 01:02:32,485
The call was made personally
by ATN boss Tom Wambsgans.

1498
01:02:32,485 --> 01:02:35,555
Um... Darwin wants to know
when to do his caveats.

1499
01:02:35,555 --> 01:02:36,823
Is there time for him to do...

1500
01:02:36,823 --> 01:02:38,124
- No.
- No.

1501
01:02:38,124 --> 01:02:39,659
He was
given by his decision desk.

1502
01:02:39,659 --> 01:02:42,295
So it's unclear whether
Wambsgans's alleged action

1503
01:02:42,295 --> 01:02:44,998
- was an error of judgment, or there
was a personal... - GREG: Hello? No.

1504
01:02:44,998 --> 01:02:47,467
Or political
dimension to the decision.

1505
01:02:47,467 --> 01:02:51,400
He is, of course, known to be
an associate of Jeryd Mencken.

1506
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,707
Jesus ****ing Christ.
What's going on?

1507
01:02:53,707 --> 01:02:56,476
Those funky numbers?
I'm sending you words, yeah?

1508
01:02:56,476 --> 01:02:58,211
Let's get 'em out
in the next 24.

1509
01:02:58,211 --> 01:03:01,381
- Lot of ****ing news.
- You guys are crazy.

1510
01:03:01,381 --> 01:03:03,717
Yeah, it's more
than just ****ing crazy, Lukas.

1511
01:03:03,717 --> 01:03:06,586
No, but this is crazy.

1512
01:03:06,586 --> 01:03:08,388
Yeah, well, we're gonna do
a number on 'em.

1513
01:03:08,388 --> 01:03:11,157
We're gonna **** them so hard.
We're gonna fix this, yeah?

1514
01:03:12,392 --> 01:03:13,259
****.

1515
01:03:16,363 --> 01:03:18,531
Can I come see the kids?

1516
01:03:18,531 --> 01:03:20,500
- They're asleep, Ken.
- Just... I know.

1517
01:03:20,500 --> 01:03:22,836
Yeah. Well, I can...
I can wait up for them.

1518
01:03:22,836 --> 01:03:24,437
I should be asleep,

1519
01:03:24,437 --> 01:03:26,339
but I... I can't.

1520
01:03:26,339 --> 01:03:28,441
Okay. I'll... I'll...
I'll see you tomorrow.

1521
01:03:28,441 --> 01:03:30,276
I'll see you
at the funeral, okay?

1522
01:03:41,354 --> 01:03:43,623
Some people
just can't cut a deal, Fikret.
