1
00:00:06,334 --> 00:00:09,462
Sleepwalking into oblivion.

2
00:00:09,462 --> 00:00:13,174
Uncontrolled migration,
hyperinflation, rampant crime,

3
00:00:13,425 --> 00:00:15,134
- cultural Marxism...
- Here we go.

4
00:00:15,134 --> 00:00:17,928
The 5:00 p.m.

5
00:00:18,046 --> 00:00:20,299
- All good?
- Yeah, I'm good, Greg,

6
00:00:20,299 --> 00:00:22,634
considering it's my
first post-Logan election,

7
00:00:22,634 --> 00:00:25,220
and I have Cyd, uh, running around town,

8
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:27,931
spitting poison like a fucking
king cobra with an iPhone.

9
00:00:27,931 --> 00:00:29,933
I have, uh, PGN to the left of me,

10
00:00:29,933 --> 00:00:31,351
I have FVA to the right.

11
00:00:31,351 --> 00:00:34,605
I gotta deliver the best
election numbers ever

12
00:00:34,605 --> 00:00:36,607
'cause my bosses wanna rip my heart out

13
00:00:36,607 --> 00:00:37,691
as a peace offering

14
00:00:37,691 --> 00:00:39,443
- to all comers. So, no, Greg.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

15
00:00:39,443 --> 00:00:41,612
You know, I'm a little bit tense.

16
00:00:41,612 --> 00:00:43,864
Just a little bit. Little tense.

17
00:00:43,864 --> 00:00:45,741
Well, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good.

18
00:02:06,983 --> 00:02:11,983
- Synced and corrected by naFraC -
- www.addic7ed.com -

19
00:02:15,455 --> 00:02:16,849
I got to the polling

20
00:02:16,859 --> 00:02:18,070
location at 11:00 a.m.,

21
00:02:18,081 --> 00:02:20,843
I thought it was very odd
the lines were short...

22
00:02:20,854 --> 00:02:22,231
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Ken.

23
00:02:22,242 --> 00:02:23,368
You good? You feeling good?

24
00:02:23,379 --> 00:02:25,214
Needs to be gangbusters
tonight, man. Yeah?

25
00:02:25,225 --> 00:02:26,601
Yeah, you got it. You got it.

26
00:02:26,612 --> 00:02:27,989
All right, need those numbers, T.

27
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,335
Really wanna see those
numbers, Tom, okay?

28
00:02:30,345 --> 00:02:31,831
- Okay.
- Market's watching.

29
00:02:31,842 --> 00:02:34,338
First Super Bowl. How we gonna
cope without the king? Right?

30
00:02:34,349 --> 00:02:36,894
Okay, got it, Ken. All good, all good.

31
00:02:36,894 --> 00:02:39,605
- Hey, Pam. How's it looking?
- Uh, bit of crackle.

32
00:02:39,605 --> 00:02:42,941
We have a news van in a
bit of trouble in Oregon.

33
00:02:42,941 --> 00:02:44,735
Things looking fighty in Milwaukee...

34
00:02:44,735 --> 00:02:47,033
Did you see the viral
thing about the woman,

35
00:02:47,044 --> 00:02:49,213
um, who voted, like,
40 times for Jimenez

36
00:02:49,224 --> 00:02:50,684
under her dead mom's name?

37
00:02:50,695 --> 00:02:52,738
We tracked her down. Not super reliable.

38
00:02:52,749 --> 00:02:54,209
She's not a well person.

39
00:02:54,220 --> 00:02:56,598
She's... Well, you're not a doctor, Pam.

40
00:02:56,622 --> 00:02:59,370
Until you qualify, why
don't you get her on the air?

41
00:02:59,381 --> 00:03:02,050
Oof! Long night in dress shoes?

42
00:03:02,061 --> 00:03:05,398
Cyd used to go for these sort
of slip-ons with a padded sock.

43
00:03:05,409 --> 00:03:07,911
Yeah, probably 'cause she
couldn't get her cloven hooves

44
00:03:07,922 --> 00:03:09,582
into her regular shoes.

45
00:03:09,938 --> 00:03:12,782
I'm perfectly comfortable,
Pam. I've got good arches.

46
00:03:12,793 --> 00:03:14,170
- All right.
- They've been remarked upon.

47
00:03:14,181 --> 00:03:16,016
Five p.m. Exit polls, come on.

48
00:03:16,016 --> 00:03:18,727
- Five p.m.
- Hey, Darwin. You don't, um...

49
00:03:18,727 --> 00:03:20,729
Oh, they're cool. Um, you don't...

50
00:03:20,729 --> 00:03:22,522
you don't do anything
special tonight, do you?

51
00:03:22,522 --> 00:03:24,816
Just somebody was talking
about adult diapers?

52
00:03:24,816 --> 00:03:26,985
Oh, no, I think there's
always time for the bathroom.

53
00:03:26,985 --> 00:03:28,612
Fine. Okay, thanks.

54
00:03:29,863 --> 00:03:32,366
Okay. Excuse me. Coming through.

55
00:03:32,366 --> 00:03:34,451
Coming through here. Coming through.

56
00:03:34,451 --> 00:03:37,663
Hey, everybody. So,
terms and conditions.

57
00:03:37,663 --> 00:03:40,248
Forgive me, those of you
who already know this.

58
00:03:40,248 --> 00:03:41,750
You get, uh, you get some rest though?

59
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:44,836
No, no. Marital strife.

60
00:03:44,836 --> 00:03:45,965
Can I hear a "Got it"?

61
00:03:45,976 --> 00:03:48,079
- Got it.
- Thank you. Also, what we're about to tell you...

62
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:49,967
- How was your night?
- With Matsson?

63
00:03:49,967 --> 00:03:54,471
Pretty monstrous. His crew
knows some unseemly venues.

64
00:03:55,497 --> 00:03:57,666
I danced with an old man.

65
00:03:57,933 --> 00:04:00,143
- What?
- Yeah. He didn't want to dance,

66
00:04:00,143 --> 00:04:03,647
but they made us dance.
He was so confused.

67
00:04:03,647 --> 00:04:09,236
I drank things that
aren't normally drinks.

68
00:04:09,954 --> 00:04:12,498
And I... I got the impression...

69
00:04:14,147 --> 00:04:18,943
Do you know about Matsson
with Shiv and their sort of...

70
00:04:18,954 --> 00:04:21,999
like, their... their
business alliance agreement?

71
00:04:24,276 --> 00:04:26,528
Well, I'm sure I don't know
what you're talking about.

72
00:04:27,923 --> 00:04:30,175
Okay, I didn't think so.

73
00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:33,650
Do you wanna strategize?
You wanna fry her ass up?

74
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:36,839
Information, Greg.

75
00:04:37,698 --> 00:04:39,283
It's like a bottle of fine wine.

76
00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:42,427
You store it, you hoard it,

77
00:04:42,623 --> 00:04:44,625
you save it for a special occasion.

78
00:04:44,636 --> 00:04:47,524
And then you smash someone's
fucking face in with it.

79
00:04:47,524 --> 00:04:49,901
- Nice.
- So, what we're hearing is,

80
00:04:49,901 --> 00:04:52,487
and remember, this is not decisive,

81
00:04:52,487 --> 00:04:53,989
what we're seeing is Mencken

82
00:04:53,989 --> 00:04:58,994
may be over-performing
in Georgia and Arizona.

83
00:04:59,005 --> 00:05:01,758
So, our early read would be

84
00:05:01,769 --> 00:05:04,188
closer than polls have suggested.

85
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:07,536
Close, but Jimenez likely edging

86
00:05:07,547 --> 00:05:08,923
- on what we've seen.
- Boo!

87
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:11,788
Listen, this is privileged information.

88
00:05:11,799 --> 00:05:14,218
Leaks that suppress or encourage turnout

89
00:05:14,229 --> 00:05:15,564
could result in our ejection

90
00:05:15,575 --> 00:05:17,869
from the National Election Pool, okay?

91
00:05:18,002 --> 00:05:19,910
Yeah, you heard the man.

92
00:05:19,921 --> 00:05:21,005
Zip it.

93
00:05:22,317 --> 00:05:23,360
That's great.

94
00:05:24,704 --> 00:05:27,916
Okay, Tom says exit polls
say looks like Jimenez.

95
00:05:28,505 --> 00:05:29,889
No leaks.

96
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,372
That's great. I mean, I
got four smileys from Gil.

97
00:05:32,383 --> 00:05:33,644
They think they've got it.

98
00:05:33,655 --> 00:05:36,574
I have got eggplant,
eggplant, flag from Mencken.

99
00:05:37,782 --> 00:05:39,868
Well, two eggplants is not as much

100
00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:41,275
as four smileys, obviously.

101
00:05:41,286 --> 00:05:43,707
Four smileys is symptomatic
of the complacency

102
00:05:43,718 --> 00:05:45,321
at the heart of his
out-of-touch campaign.

103
00:05:45,332 --> 00:05:48,217
Eggplant, eggplant, flag reeks
of the misogynistic bravado

104
00:05:48,228 --> 00:05:50,064
that has so repelled the median voter.

105
00:05:50,274 --> 00:05:52,953
- Huh? Hmm?
- Jesus. Oh, I feel sick.

106
00:05:52,964 --> 00:05:54,800
Oh, why? It's fun.

107
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,967
My team is playing your team.

108
00:05:55,967 --> 00:05:57,886
It's only spicy 'cause if my team wins,

109
00:05:57,886 --> 00:06:00,347
- they're gonna shoot your team.
- Okay, but what are you hearing, seriously?

110
00:06:00,347 --> 00:06:01,973
Are these your vans? The Nazi vans?

111
00:06:01,973 --> 00:06:03,600
The van? Oh, the... the fun vans?

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,102
The, uh, the fun buses? Yeah.

113
00:06:05,102 --> 00:06:06,520
Yeah, in Florida, they picked people up

114
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:07,896
telling them they were
taking them to vote,

115
00:06:07,896 --> 00:06:09,439
and then a kid got left by the highway.

116
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,024
It's fucking kidnapping, Rome.

117
00:06:11,024 --> 00:06:15,200
It's fucking kidnapping
now? False flag. Nice try.

118
00:06:15,612 --> 00:06:17,489
Kidnapping. It's kidnapping.

119
00:06:19,566 --> 00:06:21,417
- Hey!
- Lukas! Hey.

120
00:06:21,428 --> 00:06:22,763
So, it's looking like Jimenez.

121
00:06:22,774 --> 00:06:26,861
Which is good for
democracy and great for us.

122
00:06:27,028 --> 00:06:29,183
- Okay.
- So, either way,

123
00:06:29,194 --> 00:06:32,076
I think that we consider
releasing your, you know,

124
00:06:32,087 --> 00:06:33,922
your funky numbers, maybe tomorrow?

125
00:06:33,922 --> 00:06:36,258
Day after tomorrow? Just
get ahead of the numbers

126
00:06:36,258 --> 00:06:38,135
and, you know, I can come
up with some language.

127
00:06:38,135 --> 00:06:42,472
Yeah, I was... I was
talking last night to Oskar

128
00:06:42,472 --> 00:06:45,142
and Gregory Peggory about that.

129
00:06:45,142 --> 00:06:47,769
Uh, I'm sorry, you
spoke to Greg about this?

130
00:06:47,769 --> 00:06:49,615
Yeah, well, he was
part of a conversation,

131
00:06:49,626 --> 00:06:51,670
just as a normalist.

132
00:06:51,773 --> 00:06:54,464
And, uh... And then I was wondering,

133
00:06:54,475 --> 00:06:55,851
you know, maybe we...

134
00:06:55,862 --> 00:06:57,614
Maybe we keep my...

135
00:06:57,625 --> 00:07:00,211
my terrible secret a secret, you know?

136
00:07:00,222 --> 00:07:03,413
Okay. Uh...

137
00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:05,615
Yeah, look, let me
have a think about that.

138
00:07:05,626 --> 00:07:07,545
I gotta... I gotta take this.

139
00:07:07,556 --> 00:07:09,182
I'll... I'll... I'll call you back.

140
00:07:10,005 --> 00:07:11,010
Nate.

141
00:07:11,021 --> 00:07:12,532
How's things in Mission Control Denver?

142
00:07:12,543 --> 00:07:13,619
Are you in at ATN, Shiv?

143
00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:15,663
Upstairs. Leave it to them, Dad's rules.

144
00:07:15,674 --> 00:07:17,968
Well, they need to be
covering the intimidation.

145
00:07:17,979 --> 00:07:19,123
It's pretty dark, Shiv.

146
00:07:19,134 --> 00:07:21,136
Who watches the watchmen, you know?

147
00:07:21,136 --> 00:07:24,014
"Who watches the
watchmen?" I fucking do.

148
00:07:24,014 --> 00:07:25,559
- You getting good numbers?
- Good.

149
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:28,114
I'm just watching the weather.
Storm clouds in Nevada.

150
00:07:28,125 --> 00:07:29,835
We got people in line.

151
00:07:29,978 --> 00:07:33,773
Disturbance in Wisconsin.
But, uh, yeah, yeah.

152
00:07:34,163 --> 00:07:35,581
Scared, but good.

153
00:07:36,804 --> 00:07:38,097
Precinct data is...

154
00:07:39,336 --> 00:07:41,213
Pennsylvania, Arizona could be tough.

155
00:07:41,293 --> 00:07:44,046
Let's keep this channel
open on all things

156
00:07:44,112 --> 00:07:46,957
Matsson and me, and the new ATN, yeah?

157
00:07:46,968 --> 00:07:48,553
All things good.

158
00:07:48,564 --> 00:07:50,608
All right. So, Jimenez wins,

159
00:07:50,619 --> 00:07:52,412
and he just waves the
fucking deal through.

160
00:07:52,423 --> 00:07:53,741
And then we're what?

161
00:07:53,752 --> 00:07:56,380
I guess, fucking last ditch, the board?

162
00:07:56,391 --> 00:07:58,560
The shareholders?

163
00:07:59,801 --> 00:08:02,178
Okay, uh, Jeryd wants face-to-face.

164
00:08:02,212 --> 00:08:03,630
Okay. Me too?

165
00:08:03,803 --> 00:08:05,096
Um, I doubt it. I'm asking.

166
00:08:05,096 --> 00:08:07,140
Do you wanna try Gil, or
maybe direct to Jimenez?

167
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:10,393
It feels kinda sweaty.
Maybe I wait a day.

168
00:08:10,504 --> 00:08:14,022
A day... I... I mean, I guess,
today's the fucking day, right?

169
00:08:14,022 --> 00:08:16,399
Like, today's the day the rooster
puts its head in our hands.

170
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:18,443
Today is the moment of...

171
00:08:18,443 --> 00:08:22,125
maximum leverage. Uh, yeah.
Nope, it looks like just me.

172
00:08:22,136 --> 00:08:23,782
It's a bit tight for both of us.

173
00:08:23,782 --> 00:08:26,326
Fuck him. All right, go, go, go.

174
00:08:26,326 --> 00:08:27,368
- I'm going.
- Sure, sure.

175
00:08:27,379 --> 00:08:29,256
Let me know what you come up with.

176
00:08:34,382 --> 00:08:36,617
- Hey, Rava.
- Hey, listen, um,

177
00:08:36,628 --> 00:08:38,338
- we... we are all okay...
- Yeah?

178
00:08:38,338 --> 00:08:41,841
but, um, we're a bit, uh, freaked out.

179
00:08:41,841 --> 00:08:45,011
There is an SUV. Well,
uh, we... we think

180
00:08:45,011 --> 00:08:47,931
there's an SUV, and
it's... it's following us.

181
00:08:47,931 --> 00:08:50,684
So, um, can we come to the office?

182
00:08:50,684 --> 00:08:53,770
Because, uh, you have good
security at the office?

183
00:08:53,770 --> 00:08:54,777
What's the license plate?

184
00:08:54,788 --> 00:08:57,596
- The license is T... 3...
- Is it, uh, T... TR...

185
00:08:57,607 --> 00:08:59,025
- I can't...
- Right, 'cause it's probably...

186
00:08:59,025 --> 00:09:00,819
It's probably mine. I
didn't want Sophie to freak,

187
00:09:00,819 --> 00:09:02,445
so I just... I just actioned it.

188
00:09:02,445 --> 00:09:04,572
Are you... You're...

189
00:09:05,907 --> 00:09:08,440
Oh, my God. You're having me followed

190
00:09:08,451 --> 00:09:10,787
with th... th... this
covert surveillance

191
00:09:10,798 --> 00:09:13,301
to show you care? The actual fuck, Ken?

192
00:09:13,312 --> 00:09:15,647
Just an extra layer of
bubble wrap for her and Ivey.

193
00:09:15,658 --> 00:09:16,910
Are you guys okay? You okay?

194
00:09:16,921 --> 00:09:20,077
- Is she okay?
- She's, um, scared, Ken. Okay?

195
00:09:20,088 --> 00:09:22,007
- I'm... I am scared.
- Rava, Rava.

196
00:09:22,007 --> 00:09:23,466
- Listen, just...
- I don't know what...

197
00:09:23,466 --> 00:09:25,677
There... there is...
there is shit burning,

198
00:09:25,677 --> 00:09:29,436
- there is intimidation. I don't understand...
- Relax, okay? Relax.

199
00:09:29,447 --> 00:09:31,074
Tell Sophie, I love her,

200
00:09:31,224 --> 00:09:33,435
and that is why I do everything I do.

201
00:09:33,435 --> 00:09:35,562
Okay, Soph? Soph, I
love you, sweetie, okay?

202
00:09:35,562 --> 00:09:37,314
Nothing's gonna happen.

203
00:09:37,314 --> 00:09:39,441
Exit polls say Jimenez, okay?

204
00:09:39,441 --> 00:09:41,568
I won't let the world
push you, okay, sweetie?

205
00:09:41,568 --> 00:09:44,529
Okay.

206
00:09:53,806 --> 00:09:55,081
Ken.

207
00:09:55,081 --> 00:09:56,541
Hey, man. Just... just calling

208
00:09:56,541 --> 00:09:58,209
to say good luck. Great numbers.

209
00:09:58,209 --> 00:09:59,794
- Thanks, man.
- And, um,

210
00:09:59,794 --> 00:10:02,630
listen, apologies if...
if things got a bit heated.

211
00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:03,840
A lot of shit going down.

212
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,177
Victory vans and shitheads
kicking off in Milwaukee.

213
00:10:07,177 --> 00:10:10,071
- ATN wanna cover?
- Yeah, I'll... I'll... I'll talk,

214
00:10:10,082 --> 00:10:14,503
uh, but gotta let them do
their thing. But, yeah, yeah.

215
00:10:14,554 --> 00:10:17,265
- Okay.
- Listen, you got Daniel there?

216
00:10:17,332 --> 00:10:19,542
You know, let me, uh, let me see.

217
00:10:25,294 --> 00:10:26,643
Yeah, come in.

218
00:10:29,449 --> 00:10:32,577
Sir, are you here for Kendall Roy?

219
00:10:34,262 --> 00:10:37,014
- Hey, Kendall.
- Hey, Dan. Hey, man.

220
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,823
Good luck. Just, uh...

221
00:10:39,834 --> 00:10:42,337
- Just best of luck.
- Thanks, man.

222
00:10:42,337 --> 00:10:43,922
- Uh, great to speak.
- Yeah.

223
00:10:43,922 --> 00:10:45,548
But, uh... But when this is over,

224
00:10:45,548 --> 00:10:48,218
uh, I think there needs to be
a big conversation about tech,

225
00:10:48,218 --> 00:10:50,136
- is all I'd say.
- Great to speak.

226
00:10:50,136 --> 00:10:51,888
I'm gonna put Nate back on.

227
00:10:51,888 --> 00:10:54,015
Sure. And... and... and may the best man

228
00:10:54,015 --> 00:10:56,476
who will, you know,
protect American jobs

229
00:10:56,476 --> 00:10:59,185
and reign in tech and
is called Daniel win,

230
00:10:59,196 --> 00:11:01,106
you know?

231
00:11:02,190 --> 00:11:04,359
Let's catch up. Have a good one, man.

232
00:11:04,359 --> 00:11:05,485
Yeah, sure. Sure, man.

233
00:11:05,485 --> 00:11:09,280
You know, tonight, my
eye is just right here,

234
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,117
making sure it's fair
as fuck, all right?

235
00:11:12,117 --> 00:11:14,536
Have a good night, man. Stay hydrated.

236
00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:34,514
- Hey, come on.
- Yep. Hell yeah.

237
00:11:35,168 --> 00:11:36,211
Thank you.

238
00:11:39,837 --> 00:11:41,229
Busy, busy. Hello, hello!

239
00:11:41,229 --> 00:11:44,816
Look at you! Losing it,
like a massive fucking loser.

240
00:11:44,816 --> 00:11:46,484
Yeah. Well, I blame you.

241
00:11:46,484 --> 00:11:48,581
- Couldn't deliver Connor, huh?
- Whoops.

242
00:11:48,592 --> 00:11:51,754
ATN scared to run all the fraud?

243
00:11:51,765 --> 00:11:53,689
Well, I keep my hands out, you know?

244
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:55,827
Fuck you. What is this? 'Cause,
you know, I'm quite busy.

245
00:11:55,827 --> 00:11:58,371
- Oh, you're busy?
- Yes, I am busy.

246
00:11:58,371 --> 00:12:00,500
I don't run around town like
some fucking food-bike guy,

247
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:01,971
- you know?
- Yeah.

248
00:12:02,083 --> 00:12:05,807
Just, uh, wanted to say a couple things.

249
00:12:05,818 --> 00:12:07,278
Yeah?

250
00:12:07,329 --> 00:12:09,790
Very directly.

251
00:12:10,823 --> 00:12:12,408
We still think we can win.

252
00:12:12,635 --> 00:12:15,722
- Sure.
- But I am very focused

253
00:12:15,722 --> 00:12:16,806
on losing.

254
00:12:16,806 --> 00:12:19,017
- All right.
- Winning is easy.

255
00:12:19,017 --> 00:12:20,643
Winning would take care of itself.

256
00:12:20,643 --> 00:12:23,646
- Sure.
- But if I lose...

257
00:12:23,646 --> 00:12:27,358
I need to work on what assholes
would call "The narrative."

258
00:12:27,358 --> 00:12:30,403
Uh-huh. Uh, like a "insurgent campaign,

259
00:12:30,403 --> 00:12:32,322
unfairly maligned as extremist

260
00:12:32,322 --> 00:12:34,583
by the coastal masturbation factories."

261
00:12:34,594 --> 00:12:35,720
Exactly. If I lose,

262
00:12:35,731 --> 00:12:37,725
I want it correctly characterized

263
00:12:37,736 --> 00:12:39,237
as a huge victory.

264
00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:42,029
- Over-performed, huh?
- Mm-hmm.

265
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,418
I want to be the
president. I want you to...

266
00:12:45,418 --> 00:12:47,545
be a partner in that,
and if it isn't tonight,

267
00:12:47,987 --> 00:12:49,244
it will be next time.

268
00:12:49,255 --> 00:12:51,007
Even if you're not going
to be the president,

269
00:12:51,007 --> 00:12:52,842
you're going to be our president.

270
00:12:52,842 --> 00:12:55,929
Exactly. You, me, we'll go far.

271
00:12:55,929 --> 00:12:57,680
Over the road and into the bar.

272
00:13:10,276 --> 00:13:12,111
So, listen, at some point tonight

273
00:13:12,111 --> 00:13:13,780
could we do a chat, uh,

274
00:13:13,780 --> 00:13:15,823
in terms of the... the me of things,

275
00:13:15,823 --> 00:13:18,243
and, like, how to play it?

276
00:13:18,243 --> 00:13:22,080
Because Matsson, he
treated me quite abominably,

277
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,999
but it felt, like, trusting and he
was saying a lot of things, and...

278
00:13:25,010 --> 00:13:26,292
Okay, okay. Enough, enough, enough.

279
00:13:26,292 --> 00:13:28,736
Where's my coffee?

280
00:13:28,747 --> 00:13:30,374
Tom, I don't do coffee anymore...

281
00:13:30,385 --> 00:13:32,303
No, Greg!

282
00:13:32,423 --> 00:13:35,132
Greg, I have to be clear. I have to.

283
00:13:35,143 --> 00:13:36,978
If I get drowsy,

284
00:13:37,053 --> 00:13:41,975
and I miscall Colorado,
instability, right?

285
00:13:42,762 --> 00:13:44,638
Then the US loses credibility,

286
00:13:44,832 --> 00:13:47,210
China spots an opportunity
and invades Taiwan.

287
00:13:47,230 --> 00:13:50,441
Tactical nukes. Fucking
shit goes kablooey

288
00:13:50,441 --> 00:13:51,651
and we're back to amoeba.

289
00:13:51,651 --> 00:13:54,404
It's a long way back from pond life,

290
00:13:54,404 --> 00:13:57,417
'cause you failed to get
me a double shot, okay?

291
00:13:57,428 --> 00:13:59,180
Okay. Well, do you...

292
00:13:59,317 --> 00:14:01,569
do you want some of what you asked for?

293
00:14:04,308 --> 00:14:08,312
Um, no, I don't... I don't think so.

294
00:14:08,323 --> 00:14:09,616
What do you think?

295
00:14:10,376 --> 00:14:13,004
Maybe no. I me... Election night?

296
00:14:16,877 --> 00:14:19,588
- Um...
- Your... your call. I mean...

297
00:14:19,762 --> 00:14:22,932
Yeah, hit me. But this
is not a... not a thing.

298
00:14:22,932 --> 00:14:24,267
Okay? It's not going in a book.

299
00:14:24,267 --> 00:14:27,809
- It's just... Yeah, okay.
- Yeah. Quick, quick.

300
00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:28,988
Quick as a whistle.

301
00:14:34,247 --> 00:14:37,155
Oh. What do we have here? What's on the,

302
00:14:37,155 --> 00:14:39,095
- uh, the board?
- What's on the board?

303
00:14:39,669 --> 00:14:41,339
- Want it?
- Thanks.

304
00:14:42,803 --> 00:14:45,277
Just rubbing the board innocently.

305
00:14:45,288 --> 00:14:47,498
Simply cleaning the whiteboard here.

306
00:14:50,032 --> 00:14:51,283
- Okay.
- Uh...

307
00:14:51,294 --> 00:14:53,004
- Here you go.
- No, no. Not... not for me.

308
00:14:53,004 --> 00:14:54,337
- What?
- No. I'm just starting

309
00:14:54,348 --> 00:14:56,301
- to feel normal from last night.
- What, you'll do it with Matsson,

310
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:57,613
and not with me?

311
00:14:57,624 --> 00:14:59,383
I don't want you looking
all judgy all night. Come on.

312
00:14:59,394 --> 00:15:02,252
No, I need a clear head, and
I don't wanna get addicted

313
00:15:02,263 --> 00:15:04,192
- from two nights in a row.
- Shut up, Greg. Don't be Mom.

314
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:05,857
- Come on.
- I don't want to, please.

315
00:15:05,868 --> 00:15:09,080
Greg, it's medically good
for your brain. It is.

316
00:15:09,187 --> 00:15:10,647
What are you saying,
all Aztecs are stupid?

317
00:15:10,647 --> 00:15:13,149
Don't be a racist, little
bitch about it. Come on.

318
00:15:13,149 --> 00:15:14,484
- Yeah, okay.
- Come on.

319
00:15:15,630 --> 00:15:17,643
Don't... What? Are you pretending?

320
00:15:17,654 --> 00:15:19,614
- No, I'm...
- Are you pretending to do coke?

321
00:15:19,614 --> 00:15:21,240
- Some got up.
- Well, fucking do it.

322
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,868
- All right.
- There. God!

323
00:15:24,475 --> 00:15:26,018
Okay.

324
00:15:28,882 --> 00:15:31,206
What the fuck is that?

325
00:15:31,217 --> 00:15:33,022
Oh, that. I guess they...

326
00:15:33,033 --> 00:15:35,880
They were ordering some for folks,
I said why not get you one?

327
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,509
Bodega sushi? Are you insane?

328
00:15:39,509 --> 00:15:41,469
I... No... That's not me, that's Samson.

329
00:15:41,469 --> 00:15:43,846
- That's...
- No, not Samson, Greg!

330
00:15:43,846 --> 00:15:46,432
Not Samson, not!

331
00:15:46,432 --> 00:15:48,434
I want you Gregging for me.

332
00:15:48,434 --> 00:15:50,353
You're busted back down to Greg tonight.

333
00:15:50,353 --> 00:15:52,772
- No!
- Yeah! Tonight, my digestive system

334
00:15:52,772 --> 00:15:54,982
is basically, part of
the constitution, okay?

335
00:15:54,982 --> 00:15:56,818
Microwaved milk and ginger shots.

336
00:15:56,818 --> 00:15:59,904
American bottled water.
Spaghetti and olive oil, okay?

337
00:16:00,375 --> 00:16:01,710
- Okay?
- Okay.

338
00:16:01,721 --> 00:16:03,690
Okay.

339
00:16:03,701 --> 00:16:05,036
Hey, Con!

340
00:16:05,108 --> 00:16:06,568
Tom!

341
00:16:06,579 --> 00:16:08,891
Yeah, I got this crew here.

342
00:16:08,902 --> 00:16:12,072
- Uh-huh, uh-huh.
- And they're filming the stuff,

343
00:16:12,083 --> 00:16:16,104
but none of it is making
it on the show, dude.

344
00:16:16,511 --> 00:16:18,214
Is there any film in these cameras?

345
00:16:18,214 --> 00:16:21,978
Yeah, I think we are... We
are planning to feature, Con.

346
00:16:21,989 --> 00:16:24,450
Well, no, because I'm watching.

347
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,848
Now, I expected to be frozen out

348
00:16:26,848 --> 00:16:29,327
by all those other mooks,
but you guys? Come on.

349
00:16:29,338 --> 00:16:31,131
Gimme some sugar, man!

350
00:16:31,216 --> 00:16:33,343
I mean, maybe everyone voted for me,

351
00:16:33,354 --> 00:16:35,357
- we don't know.
- Schrödinger's cat.

352
00:16:35,368 --> 00:16:39,015
Schrödinger's cat, Tom.
Until we open the boxes,

353
00:16:39,026 --> 00:16:41,824
I'm just as much President
as the other two.

354
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:44,282
- Yeah? So, come on. If I do it...
- Let's go. Let's go.

355
00:16:44,282 --> 00:16:45,651
that's the story of all time.

356
00:16:45,662 --> 00:16:47,452
Okay, well, I'll think...
I've... I've gotta go.

357
00:16:47,452 --> 00:16:49,412
But I'll see what I can
do, but I've gotta go

358
00:16:49,412 --> 00:16:51,118
- 'cause the polls are closing.
- Yep.

359
00:16:51,129 --> 00:16:52,214
Okay.

360
00:16:53,267 --> 00:16:55,386
Okay, if it's gonna happen anywhere,

361
00:16:55,397 --> 00:16:57,085
it's gonna happen in Kentucky.

362
00:16:57,096 --> 00:16:58,722
Anything can happen.

363
00:16:58,796 --> 00:17:00,006
- Anything.
- Anything can happen.

364
00:17:00,006 --> 00:17:02,091
- Anything can happen.
- Yeah.

365
00:17:02,091 --> 00:17:03,509
So glad I didn't drop out.

366
00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:06,751
It just makes an election
so much more interesting,

367
00:17:06,762 --> 00:17:07,958
- when you're in it.
- Mm-hmm.

368
00:17:07,969 --> 00:17:09,296
You gotta be in it to win it.

369
00:17:09,307 --> 00:17:11,476
And it is seven o'clock
on the East Coast,

370
00:17:11,476 --> 00:17:13,352
which means polls have just closed

371
00:17:13,352 --> 00:17:14,771
in half a dozen states.

372
00:17:14,771 --> 00:17:17,774
The most closely watched
states at this hour, Georgia,

373
00:17:17,774 --> 00:17:19,859
with its 16 electoral votes,

374
00:17:19,859 --> 00:17:23,529
and Virginia, with its 13,
both key battleground states.

375
00:17:23,529 --> 00:17:25,323
As of this moment, it is too early

376
00:17:25,323 --> 00:17:26,866
to project a winner in either.

377
00:17:26,866 --> 00:17:28,452
- Okay.
- But our decision desk

378
00:17:28,463 --> 00:17:30,150
can announce, at this hour,

379
00:17:30,161 --> 00:17:31,871
that Representative Jeryd Mencken

380
00:17:31,871 --> 00:17:33,956
will defeat Governor Daniel Jimenez

381
00:17:33,956 --> 00:17:35,799
- in the Commonwealth of Kentucky...
- Ooh!

382
00:17:35,810 --> 00:17:37,585
- ... as well as in the state of Indiana...
- Okay.

383
00:17:37,585 --> 00:17:39,837
where Mencken has
enjoyed a lead over Jimenez...

384
00:17:39,837 --> 00:17:41,547
- Okay.
- in the pre-election polling.

385
00:17:41,547 --> 00:17:42,965
Governor Jimenez will win

386
00:17:42,965 --> 00:17:45,134
in the state of Vermont,
no big surprises there,

387
00:17:45,134 --> 00:17:46,761
in the early part of the evening.

388
00:17:46,761 --> 00:17:48,375
We will need to look at more data

389
00:17:48,386 --> 00:17:50,137
before we can make a projection...

390
00:17:54,647 --> 00:17:56,732
Hey, fuck Kentucky, Con.

391
00:17:58,101 --> 00:17:59,603
- No.
- Yes, fuck 'em.

392
00:18:00,347 --> 00:18:02,516
No. I...

393
00:18:03,620 --> 00:18:05,038
I shan't become that, no.

394
00:18:06,976 --> 00:18:09,312
- Alas, Kentucky, Willa.
- Mmm.

395
00:18:11,158 --> 00:18:12,493
Alas, vanity.

396
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,721
Voters have made their voices heard.

397
00:18:17,732 --> 00:18:20,318
This could be the most
important election

398
00:18:20,329 --> 00:18:21,511
in our lifetime.

399
00:18:21,522 --> 00:18:23,214
- So with polls about to close...
- Nope.

400
00:18:23,214 --> 00:18:25,550
I told you, you can give
it to me, Billy. Thank you.

401
00:18:28,093 --> 00:18:30,847
As we heat up, Tom,
uh, how much do you want to give to...

402
00:18:30,847 --> 00:18:32,404
Fair bit of intimidation.

403
00:18:32,415 --> 00:18:34,250
His folks and ours.

404
00:18:34,350 --> 00:18:38,354
So, like, fire in Wisconsin,
in Milwaukee, could be nasty.

405
00:18:38,354 --> 00:18:41,576
Could be electrical failure.
Might be Menckenists.

406
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:44,924
"Camera smashed, crew
harassed in Portland."

407
00:18:44,935 --> 00:18:47,521
- That's them.
- Uh, I trust you.

408
00:18:47,572 --> 00:18:49,323
all of these counties here.

409
00:18:49,323 --> 00:18:51,442
Uh, again, a little,

410
00:18:51,452 --> 00:18:53,659
- uh, board malfunction here.
- What's he doing?

411
00:18:53,670 --> 00:18:54,792
- But we'll be...
- What's this?

412
00:18:54,803 --> 00:18:55,913
right back on it in a second...

413
00:18:55,913 --> 00:18:57,665
- Hey, Pam? What's going on?
- Hold... hold on.

414
00:18:57,665 --> 00:18:59,734
- The... the touchscreen.
- Hold on, we're checking it out.

415
00:18:59,745 --> 00:19:01,210
What's happening with the touchscreen?

416
00:19:01,210 --> 00:19:03,254
- Tell him to stop touching the touchscreen!
- We have a replacement...

417
00:19:03,254 --> 00:19:04,890
- The touchscreen is malfunctioning!
- It's fine, it's fine.

418
00:19:04,901 --> 00:19:06,757
It's not fine! You can
see that it's not fine!

419
00:19:06,757 --> 00:19:08,885
- We have a replacement on the way.
- It's malfunctioning! Fuck!

420
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:12,818
Touchscreen's malfunctioning!

421
00:19:14,506 --> 00:19:17,048
- Touchscreen's malfunctioning!
- And we're gonna zoom in.

422
00:19:17,059 --> 00:19:19,896
Right where we can
see, right here, having a...

423
00:19:19,896 --> 00:19:21,397
The board seems to be acting up.

424
00:19:21,397 --> 00:19:22,899
What's going on with the touchscreen?

425
00:19:22,899 --> 00:19:24,567
The touchscreen is malfunctioning!

426
00:19:24,567 --> 00:19:25,985
What's going on? What
the fuck is going on?

427
00:19:25,985 --> 00:19:28,070
Right, we're on it. Uh,
graphics generator just...

428
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:29,432
- It... it shat the bed.
- What?

429
00:19:29,443 --> 00:19:30,458
Where is my touchscreen?

430
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:31,851
- Don't... You're losing it, Dave.
- Find me a desk.

431
00:19:31,862 --> 00:19:34,375
Don't lose it, Dave. Don't
lose it tonight, Dave!

432
00:19:34,386 --> 00:19:36,794
It is now 9:00 p.m. On the East Coast.

433
00:19:36,805 --> 00:19:38,348
- Okay, can we get an ETA...
- Hello?

434
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,486
What the fuck's going
on with the touchscreen, Tom?

435
00:19:40,497 --> 00:19:41,748
I'm on it, I'm all over it.

436
00:19:41,759 --> 00:19:43,595
You're not on it. Fucking get on it.

437
00:19:43,606 --> 00:19:45,232
Figure it out, yeah?

438
00:19:45,243 --> 00:19:47,370
Figure it out. Now!

439
00:19:47,381 --> 00:19:49,057
Hey, it's happening.
Ken, it's happening.

440
00:19:49,068 --> 00:19:50,426
We're about to get a new batch, Greg,

441
00:19:50,426 --> 00:19:51,998
and if we drop numbers now,
I'm gonna come down there

442
00:19:52,009 --> 00:19:53,407
and put your fucking head
through that touchscreen.

443
00:19:53,418 --> 00:19:54,944
- It's all in motion.
- Fix it, fix it, fix it.

444
00:19:54,955 --> 00:19:57,346
- No need to catastrophize.
- Where's the touchscreen, Pam?

445
00:19:57,357 --> 00:19:58,590
- Is it loading up?
- It's loaded up.

446
00:19:58,601 --> 00:20:00,311
Well, get it on air!
Get the new one on air.

447
00:20:00,311 --> 00:20:02,062
We're gonna be hemorrhaging.
We're gonna be a laughingstock.

448
00:20:02,073 --> 00:20:04,638
We're on it, Tom. No
one will notice, okay?

449
00:20:04,649 --> 00:20:06,108
We've done this before.

450
00:20:06,108 --> 00:20:07,777
we have three, and they're all lined up.

451
00:20:07,777 --> 00:20:09,111
No one will notice? I noticed.

452
00:20:09,111 --> 00:20:11,322
Am I no one? Do I look like no one? Huh?

453
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:13,067
Do I?

454
00:20:13,078 --> 00:20:15,346
How the fuck are we
behind social media on this?

455
00:20:15,357 --> 00:20:16,858
All right, we need to be leading this.

456
00:20:16,869 --> 00:20:18,412
- Hey, Tom?
- Hello?

457
00:20:18,412 --> 00:20:20,915
You got this fire in Wisconsin.
You... you... you got this?

458
00:20:20,915 --> 00:20:23,409
Uh, yes, I think we... Yes,
I think we have that, yeah.

459
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:26,089
- Electrical.
- Why aren't we covering, Tom?

460
00:20:26,170 --> 00:20:29,757
Um, well, because we always
have to choose what to focus on.

461
00:20:29,757 --> 00:20:32,613
And just because something is
on fire doesn't make it news.

462
00:20:32,624 --> 00:20:34,845
- Uh, electrical failure?
- Not what we hear.

463
00:20:34,845 --> 00:20:37,390
No. It's... it's... it's
not what Nate hears, Tom.

464
00:20:37,390 --> 00:20:39,099
Well, bully for Nate.

465
00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:40,643
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey, Nate.

466
00:20:40,643 --> 00:20:42,690
We need to be all over this, Tom.

467
00:20:42,701 --> 00:20:46,148
Uh, yeah. I... Okay, I just
think it's important to, um,

468
00:20:46,148 --> 00:20:47,900
to keep our unique perspective

469
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:49,944
because we are getting
conflicting reporting.

470
00:20:49,944 --> 00:20:51,654
Oh, what about the actual photos

471
00:20:51,654 --> 00:20:53,280
I can see of it happening
on my fucking phone?

472
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,574
Look, there are... there are
many, many things happening

473
00:20:55,574 --> 00:20:58,169
in this nation right now.
Uh, there are a million data points,

474
00:20:58,180 --> 00:21:01,148
and we... we have to select
the ones that are consequential.

475
00:21:01,159 --> 00:21:03,488
If these nutjobs are going paramilitary,

476
00:21:03,499 --> 00:21:04,917
- we can say that.
- Yeah.

477
00:21:04,917 --> 00:21:08,045
Uh-huh. Yes, we just need
to respect our viewership.

478
00:21:08,045 --> 00:21:10,921
By not telling them anything
they don't want to hear?

479
00:21:10,932 --> 00:21:13,434
You guys get this about
the Antifa firebombing

480
00:21:13,445 --> 00:21:14,552
in Milwaukee?

481
00:21:14,563 --> 00:21:17,858
No. Uh, we... we hear
it's his people, Mencken's.

482
00:21:18,638 --> 00:21:20,820
Okay, when it becomes a story,

483
00:21:20,932 --> 00:21:23,402
- then we'll run the story.
- Well, this is happening in, what,

484
00:21:23,413 --> 00:21:25,820
- a vote counting center? So...
- Yeah. It's a story, Tom.

485
00:21:25,831 --> 00:21:26,832
- It's a story.
- I'm on it.

486
00:21:26,843 --> 00:21:28,847
- Do not micromanage me, please.
- Tom!

487
00:21:28,858 --> 00:21:30,359
- Yes? Yes?
- Tom! They're evacuating.

488
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,778
We've got a local chopper
up and a reporter on the way.

489
00:21:32,778 --> 00:21:34,822
Okay. Uh, guys, I've got to manage this.

490
00:21:34,822 --> 00:21:36,338
I'm gonna... I'm... I'll
keep you looped, yeah?

491
00:21:36,349 --> 00:21:38,185
- Talk to Greg, yeah?
- Oh.

492
00:21:38,927 --> 00:21:40,025
Yeah, hey, hey.

493
00:21:40,036 --> 00:21:41,245
Uh, happy to keep you

494
00:21:41,245 --> 00:21:42,705
- fully abreast here.
- We're not talking to Greg.

495
00:21:42,705 --> 00:21:44,714
- I can be your link-up guy.
- No. What the fuck?

496
00:21:44,725 --> 00:21:46,281
Amateur hour down there.

497
00:21:46,292 --> 00:21:49,214
Uh, okay. So, if it
happened in Milwaukee,

498
00:21:49,225 --> 00:21:51,227
and if it's deliberate,
then it's Menckenists?

499
00:21:51,251 --> 00:21:52,920
Mmm. False flag. Could be.

500
00:21:52,931 --> 00:21:54,539
You can't just say
"false flag" every time

501
00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:57,178
- you don't fucking agree with something.
- False flag. False flag.

502
00:21:57,178 --> 00:21:58,888
Okay, guys.

503
00:21:58,888 --> 00:22:00,931
We want to report
about a fire in Milwaukee,

504
00:22:00,931 --> 00:22:04,393
initially thought to have been
caused by an electrical failure.

505
00:22:04,393 --> 00:22:06,604
But now there are claims
and some counterclaims

506
00:22:06,604 --> 00:22:09,148
being made by groups who were protesting

507
00:22:09,148 --> 00:22:11,233
- alleged voting irregularities.
- Hey.

508
00:22:11,233 --> 00:22:13,069
Okay, well, do you know
if any of the ballots

509
00:22:13,069 --> 00:22:14,570
- are intact?
- It doesn't look likely.

510
00:22:14,570 --> 00:22:17,156
- Where are you at?
- Depends how many votes have gone.

511
00:22:17,156 --> 00:22:18,949
- But ballots have been lost?
- Oh, yeah.

512
00:22:18,949 --> 00:22:21,136
We're chartering flights to Milwaukee.

513
00:22:21,147 --> 00:22:24,210
A ton of number-crunching
by our analytics team.

514
00:22:24,221 --> 00:22:26,307
We're trying to check the
Milwaukee County voter rolls

515
00:22:26,318 --> 00:22:28,862
to see who's voted so far, but, uh...

516
00:22:29,236 --> 00:22:30,961
Listen, can you help with the narrative?

517
00:22:30,961 --> 00:22:32,379
Oh, yeah.

518
00:22:32,379 --> 00:22:35,341
Uh, okay, well, have you got
all the bodies that you need?

519
00:22:35,341 --> 00:22:38,260
Yeah. Yeah, we have bodies.
We have a SWAT team on it,

520
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:40,096
they're interfacing
with the Wisconsin team.

521
00:22:45,525 --> 00:22:48,165
Apparently, he's just touching

522
00:22:48,176 --> 00:22:49,886
too hard for it.

523
00:22:49,933 --> 00:22:51,393
- He's touching with...
- What?

524
00:22:51,404 --> 00:22:53,615
What? No. Rome?

525
00:22:53,626 --> 00:22:56,128
Roman, no brass on
the battlefield, okay?

526
00:22:56,153 --> 00:22:57,488
That's one of Logan's
Geneva conventions.

527
00:22:57,488 --> 00:22:58,989
- Please, please.
- Just a pop-in. What's going on?

528
00:22:58,989 --> 00:23:00,118
They evacuated the count center?

529
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:02,107
No, I don't know, I just
lost another touchscreen.

530
00:23:02,118 --> 00:23:03,657
I'm down to my last
fucking touchscreen, okay?

531
00:23:03,668 --> 00:23:05,318
- What's going on?
- Oh, nothing.

532
00:23:05,329 --> 00:23:07,016
Tom just thinks that
China's hacking his tech.

533
00:23:07,027 --> 00:23:09,667
I do not, but I do think you would
be more comfortable upstairs.

534
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:11,085
- What?
- Greg? Will you please, uh...

535
00:23:11,085 --> 00:23:12,696
- Oh, yes. Yeah, guys...
- Will you please help them upstairs?

536
00:23:12,707 --> 00:23:14,656
- ... do you mind if I wrangle...
- I think you would be more comfortable upstairs.

537
00:23:14,667 --> 00:23:15,870
Hello? Tom?

538
00:23:15,881 --> 00:23:17,591
- Hello, Siobhan.
- Can I just wrangle...

539
00:23:17,591 --> 00:23:20,052
- Wrangle? Stop saying wrangle.
- Yeah. Are the ballots still in there?

540
00:23:20,052 --> 00:23:21,536
- Okay, where... where are we?
- What's going on?

541
00:23:21,547 --> 00:23:24,360
- Tom, can you catch us up?
- Greg, will you please, uh, take the VIPs

542
00:23:24,371 --> 00:23:25,507
- to a, uh, upstairs setting?
- Yes. I... I...

543
00:23:25,518 --> 00:23:27,309
- Tom!
- Can I grab the three of you and just...

544
00:23:27,309 --> 00:23:28,435
Tom!

545
00:23:28,435 --> 00:23:29,728
- Yes?
- Reporter on the way.

546
00:23:29,728 --> 00:23:31,564
- Uh, three, four out.
- Okay. All right, all right.

547
00:23:31,564 --> 00:23:32,940
- Uh, Tom?
- Yes?

548
00:23:32,940 --> 00:23:35,151
Can I... can I have a word?

549
00:23:35,151 --> 00:23:36,652
I... This is...

550
00:23:36,652 --> 00:23:40,156
- I really... I really can't.
- This won't take long, Tom. Just...

551
00:23:40,156 --> 00:23:42,741
I know, but just let
me... Okay, I just...

552
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:46,067
Can you please? I just
wanted to apologize

553
00:23:46,078 --> 00:23:49,540
for some of the things that
I said last night, okay?

554
00:23:49,540 --> 00:23:52,376
- Okay. Okay.
- And to...

555
00:23:53,519 --> 00:23:55,813
you know, give you an opportunity to...

556
00:23:55,926 --> 00:23:58,679
- Uh-huh?
- ... re... Okay.

557
00:23:58,746 --> 00:24:01,207
Well, I can't do it to that. So...

558
00:24:01,260 --> 00:24:04,972
How should I frame my face?

559
00:24:05,855 --> 00:24:08,482
Huh? You scared that I'm gonna blab

560
00:24:08,556 --> 00:24:09,724
about you and Matsson?

561
00:24:09,735 --> 00:24:11,165
Jesus fucking Christ,

562
00:24:11,176 --> 00:24:12,425
- Tom.
- What?

563
00:24:12,657 --> 00:24:14,305
My father just died, yeah?

564
00:24:14,316 --> 00:24:15,651
- My... Like...
- Yeah.

565
00:24:15,662 --> 00:24:17,826
My father just died.

566
00:24:18,235 --> 00:24:20,279
So maybe, you know, I could get a little

567
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:22,823
consideration on that and for,
you know, a number of reasons

568
00:24:22,823 --> 00:24:25,451
I've been feeling
off-kilter, so... I'm sorry,

569
00:24:25,451 --> 00:24:28,120
- but can I get a modicum of...
- Sure, sure.

570
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:29,289
- What does that mean?
- Sure.

571
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:31,636
- "Sure."
- It means you hated him, Siobhan.

572
00:24:31,647 --> 00:24:33,508
I didn't hate him. I loved him.

573
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:36,750
Well, it was complicated,
but sometimes you certainly hated him,

574
00:24:36,761 --> 00:24:39,723
and... and you also sort of killed him.

575
00:24:41,220 --> 00:24:43,458
Uh... Wow!

576
00:24:43,469 --> 00:24:45,291
- What the...
- Sort of.

577
00:24:45,302 --> 00:24:46,669
- Sort of.
- Oh, yeah. "Sort of."

578
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,974
That's the part that I'm
gonna remember, thanks.

579
00:24:48,974 --> 00:24:51,227
No, thank you. Okay, you know what?

580
00:24:51,227 --> 00:24:54,563
Actually, also, I'm
pregnant. Yeah? By you.

581
00:24:55,635 --> 00:24:58,972
And there's... there's
never a good time to say it,

582
00:24:58,983 --> 00:25:02,122
but you need to know. So, okay.

583
00:25:02,297 --> 00:25:04,383
- Now you know.
- Right. Right.

584
00:25:07,268 --> 00:25:08,644
Is...

585
00:25:12,013 --> 00:25:13,290
that even true?

586
00:25:16,323 --> 00:25:17,908
What?

587
00:25:18,254 --> 00:25:21,862
Like, is that even true, or
is that like a new position

588
00:25:21,873 --> 00:25:23,708
or a tactic? Or what?

589
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,362
What?

590
00:25:29,703 --> 00:25:31,247
Um, okay.

591
00:25:45,261 --> 00:25:47,981
So, we have an area. I
guess, we... Is it upstairs?

592
00:25:47,992 --> 00:25:49,493
- Yeah, it's just...
- You okay?

593
00:25:49,493 --> 00:25:51,829
Yeah. Uh-huh, yep.

594
00:25:51,829 --> 00:25:54,957
I'm, uh... Look, I
think things are tough.

595
00:25:56,166 --> 00:25:58,880
With... with my situation and Tom,

596
00:25:58,891 --> 00:26:01,727
- uh, but...
- You want us to have him killed?

597
00:26:01,786 --> 00:26:03,162
- Uh...
- We could do that.

598
00:26:03,173 --> 00:26:04,341
Yeah, maybe.

599
00:26:04,341 --> 00:26:05,426
- I mean, I think...
- Okay.

600
00:26:05,426 --> 00:26:07,636
You know, he's just...

601
00:26:07,636 --> 00:26:10,806
He's just a piece of
filth, and there's stuff

602
00:26:10,806 --> 00:26:14,059
I would like to tell you, but, uh...

603
00:26:14,059 --> 00:26:16,645
Hey, I've been trying
to get them to move.

604
00:26:16,645 --> 00:26:18,689
Not in an aggressive way, but...

605
00:26:19,523 --> 00:26:22,036
- If...
- Yeah, I mean, you just can't trust him.

606
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:24,064
Yeah, we got you.

607
00:26:24,075 --> 00:26:25,326
In terms of the fire,

608
00:26:25,337 --> 00:26:26,726
- it is still burning.
- Thanks.

609
00:26:26,737 --> 00:26:28,780
And crews are struggling to contain,

610
00:26:28,791 --> 00:26:30,523
let alone extinguish.

611
00:26:30,534 --> 00:26:32,704
Now, are there any
reports so far of injuries?

612
00:26:32,715 --> 00:26:34,360
None for now, fortunately.

613
00:26:34,371 --> 00:26:36,707
The building was evacuated immediately

614
00:26:36,707 --> 00:26:38,100
and all workers have been accounted for.

615
00:26:38,111 --> 00:26:40,878
Well, I'm gonna sneak...
now that we're all in here.

616
00:26:40,878 --> 00:26:42,671
There's a lot of confusion
here right now. It looks like...

617
00:26:42,671 --> 00:26:44,516
- Who's responsible?
- ... all ballots have been - received here.

618
00:26:44,527 --> 00:26:46,873
That's the story, right?
Who burnt this place down?

619
00:26:46,884 --> 00:26:48,177
Uh, to me, it always comes down

620
00:26:48,177 --> 00:26:50,554
to a couple of old favorites,
the Blacks or the Jews.

621
00:26:51,823 --> 00:26:55,260
- I'm kidding. It's a fucking joke.
- Would you, please? Please?

622
00:26:56,688 --> 00:26:58,042
- Got it.
- All right. Here.

623
00:26:58,053 --> 00:26:59,605
- Shiv. Just follow me.
- Hey, Connor.

624
00:26:59,605 --> 00:27:01,551
- Follow me.
- Rome.

625
00:27:01,897 --> 00:27:04,608
Um, Jeryd isn't picking up.

626
00:27:04,735 --> 00:27:05,861
Uh-huh. Yeah.

627
00:27:05,861 --> 00:27:07,720
I... I wonder if it's
a busy night for him?

628
00:27:07,731 --> 00:27:09,775
Um, because I wondered

629
00:27:09,853 --> 00:27:12,765
if what we talked about
might still be on offer?

630
00:27:12,776 --> 00:27:14,110
Ambassadorship-wise?

631
00:27:14,121 --> 00:27:17,238
Uh, yeah. Well, that was kind
of a yesterday offer, Connor.

632
00:27:17,249 --> 00:27:18,270
You know if he doesn't make this,

633
00:27:18,281 --> 00:27:19,630
you're gonna be partially
fucking responsible,

634
00:27:19,641 --> 00:27:20,916
- I hope you're cool with that.
- Rome.

635
00:27:20,927 --> 00:27:22,700
I spent like a hundred mil here.

636
00:27:22,711 --> 00:27:24,308
Couldn't I get a sniff

637
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:25,946
of even a little guy?

638
00:27:26,048 --> 00:27:28,714
Organize a little
coup, down in old Peru?

639
00:27:28,725 --> 00:27:30,458
Put me in a van to Tajikistan?

640
00:27:30,469 --> 00:27:32,721
Couldn't I just be
our fun guy in Uruguay?

641
00:27:32,721 --> 00:27:35,015
Your rhymes are compelling.
But what's in it for him, Con?

642
00:27:35,015 --> 00:27:38,102
Oh, maybe just one of the
finest political operators

643
00:27:38,102 --> 00:27:39,846
of his generation sorting shit out?

644
00:27:39,857 --> 00:27:42,390
Okay, yeah, I'll,
uh... I'll get back to you.

645
00:27:42,401 --> 00:27:43,819
Just this one.

646
00:27:43,830 --> 00:27:45,665
Every four years, in fact.

647
00:27:45,734 --> 00:27:47,194
It's probably going to come down

648
00:27:47,194 --> 00:27:50,489
to a handful of states,
like Wisconsin, Ohio,

649
00:27:50,489 --> 00:27:53,117
Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.

650
00:27:53,117 --> 00:27:55,402
Ignore the narratives early on,

651
00:27:55,413 --> 00:27:56,829
and just realize

652
00:27:56,829 --> 00:27:58,789
that we're going to
be in for a dog fight,

653
00:27:58,789 --> 00:28:01,090
for a late night in those
last couple of states.

654
00:28:01,101 --> 00:28:03,062
It is 11:00 p.m. On the East Coast.

655
00:28:03,073 --> 00:28:04,224
- Uh-huh.
- Polls have just closed

656
00:28:04,235 --> 00:28:05,858
in four more key states.

657
00:28:05,869 --> 00:28:08,507
- Okay, thanks.
- The ATN decision desk can now project...

658
00:28:08,518 --> 00:28:12,052
Uh... So, under state law,
the vote can't be certified

659
00:28:12,052 --> 00:28:13,929
until the absentee ballots are counted.

660
00:28:13,929 --> 00:28:16,432
So, no Wisconsin result is valid

661
00:28:16,432 --> 00:28:19,810
- until the absentee ballots are counted.
- Okay. And how does Daniel feel?

662
00:28:19,810 --> 00:28:21,937
Confident, but terrified.

663
00:28:21,937 --> 00:28:23,403
I don't know, is
there... is there a name

664
00:28:23,414 --> 00:28:25,315
for that feeling? Cuspy?

665
00:28:25,315 --> 00:28:27,776
- Hey. Yeah.
- Rome. So, under Wisconsin law,

666
00:28:27,776 --> 00:28:30,487
- the vote can't be certified...
- Mencken says we're done. Wisconsin's done.

667
00:28:30,487 --> 00:28:32,739
- That's their position.
- But... Well, no.

668
00:28:32,739 --> 00:28:36,076
There's like 100,000 absentee
Milwaukee ballots missing.

669
00:28:36,087 --> 00:28:38,162
So we have to figure
out a way to go forward

670
00:28:38,162 --> 00:28:40,758
- knowing that information...
- Go forward to undermine Mencken's lead?

671
00:28:40,769 --> 00:28:42,062
Does he have a lead?

672
00:28:42,073 --> 00:28:43,442
- I mean, is... is that right?
- Yep, yes.

673
00:28:43,453 --> 00:28:45,404
- Uh, an artificial lead.
- Mmm.

674
00:28:45,415 --> 00:28:47,880
With 100,000 Milwaukee
absentee ballots missing.

675
00:28:47,891 --> 00:28:50,246
Every vote must be counted.

676
00:28:50,257 --> 00:28:52,121
- Eh.
- I think she's right.

677
00:28:52,132 --> 00:28:53,134
- What?
- Hmm, well...

678
00:28:53,145 --> 00:28:54,374
- I think she's right, Rome.
- Well, yeah, okay.

679
00:28:54,385 --> 00:28:56,669
But we... we... we can
count the votes that we have.

680
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,808
However, unfortunately,
some are lost. So...

681
00:28:59,808 --> 00:29:01,477
"Unfortunately, some are lost?"

682
00:29:01,477 --> 00:29:03,658
- Yep.
- Meaning, what? Fascist fuckheads burnt them.

683
00:29:03,669 --> 00:29:05,052
We literally do not know that.

684
00:29:05,063 --> 00:29:07,065
It could very easily be
your fucks, they love fires.

685
00:29:07,065 --> 00:29:08,400
You're making hay for
political violence.

686
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,068
Or your guys knew
they were going to lose,

687
00:29:10,068 --> 00:29:12,237
so they did something crazy
to throw it into question

688
00:29:12,237 --> 00:29:13,864
- and get a revote.
- You don't believe that.

689
00:29:13,864 --> 00:29:15,194
Yeah, maybe I do. I don't know.

690
00:29:15,205 --> 00:29:16,415
Okay. Well, Jimenez

691
00:29:16,426 --> 00:29:18,782
is gonna take Pennsylvania,
Michigan, and Arizona.

692
00:29:18,793 --> 00:29:20,162
So I don't know why you're
getting so fucking uppity

693
00:29:20,162 --> 00:29:21,371
- about this shit.
- Why are you getting so uppity

694
00:29:21,371 --> 00:29:22,379
about this shit if you're so confident?

695
00:29:22,390 --> 00:29:24,526
Because if Mencken wins, it's
the end of the world, okay?

696
00:29:24,537 --> 00:29:26,167
- So I'd like a little fucking cushion.
- Can we get fucking real?

697
00:29:26,178 --> 00:29:28,167
Jimenez won't block the GoJo deal.

698
00:29:28,178 --> 00:29:29,972
So fuck the guy, right?

699
00:29:30,047 --> 00:29:32,299
Well, who knows? Maybe he
would. And that's not...

700
00:29:32,299 --> 00:29:35,093
We cannot let
that be the thing that's...

701
00:29:35,093 --> 00:29:37,554
That's not the thing, right? Ken?

702
00:29:42,476 --> 00:29:44,058
- Uh...
- I don't know.

703
00:29:45,524 --> 00:29:46,733
- Ken.
- I don't know.

704
00:29:46,766 --> 00:29:49,936
No, don't... don't get cynical.

705
00:29:49,983 --> 00:29:53,320
It's... it's not... not
cynical. No. It's just...

706
00:29:54,394 --> 00:29:57,980
what's happening is
happening. Uh, I'm a realist.

707
00:29:57,991 --> 00:30:00,744
Oh, yeah. Says the man
who'd cut his son's throat

708
00:30:00,744 --> 00:30:02,120
and then eat him on the high pass.

709
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,997
- Jesus fucking Christ.
- We can all say nasty shit, Shiv.

710
00:30:03,997 --> 00:30:06,416
Hey, so, uh, FVA is saying

711
00:30:06,416 --> 00:30:08,544
they have enough vote
reported to call Wisconsin.

712
00:30:08,544 --> 00:30:10,796
So, Freedom Voice America
and VeraNews are calling it.

713
00:30:10,796 --> 00:30:12,339
- Great, the maniacs.
- Okay. Wow.

714
00:30:12,339 --> 00:30:14,579
Well, can't get out-flanked
and we need to be fast.

715
00:30:14,590 --> 00:30:16,802
So I think we should call it, right?

716
00:30:16,802 --> 00:30:19,054
- Hold on, hold on!
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

717
00:30:19,054 --> 00:30:21,056
Tom, what... what is
like an independent...

718
00:30:21,056 --> 00:30:22,558
Can... can you get us.

719
00:30:22,558 --> 00:30:24,895
- Decision Desk Darwin?
- Yes. Yep.

720
00:30:25,035 --> 00:30:28,689
I want to say a few words about
the emerging situation in Milwaukee.

721
00:30:28,689 --> 00:30:30,399
A situation the American...

722
00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:33,360
people are watching
with increasing concern.

723
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,070
We have a process.

724
00:30:35,070 --> 00:30:36,905
- And it is sacrosanct...
- "Respect the process.

725
00:30:36,905 --> 00:30:39,962
Count every vote."
I mean, he's so fucking dull.

726
00:30:40,742 --> 00:30:45,080
Flop your dick out,
pop a nut. Do something!

727
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,291
that decision will
have no legitimacy

728
00:30:47,291 --> 00:30:50,961
if it does not account
for all the ballots cast.

729
00:30:50,961 --> 00:30:53,422
Okay, Dar. Thank you.
And we have some thoughts

730
00:30:53,422 --> 00:30:56,758
- and some questions. And...
- Thank you, Darwin. Do you have a result

731
00:30:56,758 --> 00:30:59,094
as it stands in Wisconsin?

732
00:30:59,094 --> 00:31:01,065
- Uh, we've tallied the vote total so far.
- Okay.

733
00:31:01,092 --> 00:31:02,931
- Yeah. Uh-huh. And?
- Margin for Mencken

734
00:31:02,931 --> 00:31:04,099
is significant.

735
00:31:04,099 --> 00:31:06,435
It couldn't be made up
by outstanding existing

736
00:31:06,435 --> 00:31:08,395
uncounted votes, only
the ones destroyed.

737
00:31:08,395 --> 00:31:11,023
Okay, and we're not waiting
for burned votes, so we call it.

738
00:31:11,023 --> 00:31:12,441
- No, I... I think...
- Right?

739
00:31:12,441 --> 00:31:14,443
I think they have to hold it again. No?

740
00:31:14,443 --> 00:31:15,532
Like, a... a revote?

741
00:31:15,543 --> 00:31:19,270
Uh, I would say a revote
is incredibly rare and complex

742
00:31:19,281 --> 00:31:21,366
because, while we
theoretically know everyone

743
00:31:21,366 --> 00:31:22,909
who requested an absentee ballot,

744
00:31:22,909 --> 00:31:25,454
we don't entirely know
how many turned them in,

745
00:31:25,454 --> 00:31:28,413
and there's nothing in Wisconsin law

746
00:31:28,424 --> 00:31:30,051
that really covers what to do.

747
00:31:30,062 --> 00:31:31,605
Exactly. You can't do it. Boom!

748
00:31:31,616 --> 00:31:33,200
- Mencken. Thank you.
- But, of course,

749
00:31:33,211 --> 00:31:36,006
we think, um, we... The team knows...

750
00:31:36,006 --> 00:31:37,841
We know how the missing votes

751
00:31:37,841 --> 00:31:40,020
- would have broken down.
- What? They're gone.

752
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:41,595
There's no way to know
what was on those ballots.

753
00:31:41,595 --> 00:31:43,297
Well, we... we do know.

754
00:31:43,307 --> 00:31:44,640
- Because in past elections...
- Mm, no.

755
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,933
- Milwaukee overwhelmingly votes Democrat.
- You know what might be on them,

756
00:31:46,933 --> 00:31:48,727
but you don't actually know.

757
00:31:48,727 --> 00:31:52,105
Sure. I just, basically, do know.

758
00:31:52,105 --> 00:31:53,899
- We do know.
- Because you're so plugged in,

759
00:31:53,899 --> 00:31:55,233
you know how all the
little peasants vote,

760
00:31:55,233 --> 00:31:56,526
what's in their hearts?
'Cause you don't know.

761
00:31:56,526 --> 00:31:57,984
Rome, come on. This is the
grown-ups table, be serious.

762
00:31:57,995 --> 00:32:00,019
This is serious. Ballots
get lost every election.

763
00:32:00,030 --> 00:32:01,374
You can't get burnt ballots back.

764
00:32:01,385 --> 00:32:02,567
Bullshit. Just bullshit.

765
00:32:02,578 --> 00:32:03,973
- Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
- You're bullshit. It's not bullshit.

766
00:32:03,984 --> 00:32:05,775
- Full of fucking bullshit.
- Shiv? Shiv?

767
00:32:05,786 --> 00:32:07,483
- What?
- You sound a little unhinged.

768
00:32:07,494 --> 00:32:09,028
You fucking watch it, Tom.

769
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:10,457
- We do know.
- Okay, okay.

770
00:32:10,457 --> 00:32:13,543
There's no way to say in here
how people would have voted.

771
00:32:13,543 --> 00:32:14,920
I mean, you wanna just run your model

772
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:15,932
and not bother with all the people?

773
00:32:15,943 --> 00:32:18,244
We're saying, historically,
people overwhelmingly...

774
00:32:18,255 --> 00:32:19,747
Historically,
people used to burn witches.

775
00:32:19,758 --> 00:32:21,059
- Are you saying we should do that?
- What the fuck?

776
00:32:21,070 --> 00:32:23,501
"Burn witches"? Rome! Look, we just know

777
00:32:23,512 --> 00:32:25,166
that the fire would have destroyed

778
00:32:25,177 --> 00:32:26,679
a lot of Jimenez ballots.

779
00:32:26,690 --> 00:32:29,479
Oh, so, "Fire favors
GOP," claims mad witch?

780
00:32:29,490 --> 00:32:31,543
- We just know.
- Okay. Well, we're not gonna rerun

781
00:32:31,554 --> 00:32:34,356
the election, and if the Right
gets wrongly blamed for this,

782
00:32:34,356 --> 00:32:36,191
what would that do? If the Left does?

783
00:32:36,191 --> 00:32:38,402
- Could get nasty.
- Where are you going?

784
00:32:38,402 --> 00:32:40,570
I am going to the bathroom to shit.

785
00:32:40,570 --> 00:32:41,701
Would you like me to livestream it?

786
00:32:41,712 --> 00:32:43,441
We're going to be in for a dog fight,

787
00:32:43,452 --> 00:32:45,646
- for a late night...
- Ken, you wanna weigh in?

788
00:32:45,826 --> 00:32:47,411
And Mark Ravenhead has some thoughts

789
00:32:47,411 --> 00:32:48,745
about what we've been
seeing so far tonight...

790
00:32:48,745 --> 00:32:52,290
- I just think it's hard.
- But we know. We just do.

791
00:32:52,290 --> 00:32:54,584
That if the lost votes were counted,

792
00:32:54,584 --> 00:32:56,378
Jimenez would take the state.

793
00:32:56,378 --> 00:32:59,131
Mark is commenting directly, ATN voice.

794
00:32:59,131 --> 00:33:01,212
professional politicos
who, time after time,

795
00:33:01,223 --> 00:33:02,512
come up with, isn't this funny,

796
00:33:02,523 --> 00:33:07,278
with polls which undercount
support for traditional values.

797
00:33:07,378 --> 00:33:10,229
So, yeah, maybe some of the crazies
heard they were underperforming

798
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,796
and decided to stop the counting
and destroy the evidence.

799
00:33:12,807 --> 00:33:15,974
And so, yeah, "You just stay quiet."

800
00:33:15,985 --> 00:33:17,357
- Roman sent talking points.
- Oh.

801
00:33:17,357 --> 00:33:19,234
"We'll guess what
we think was on those ballots.

802
00:33:19,234 --> 00:33:21,177
- We'll decide," yeah?
- Is he down there?

803
00:33:21,188 --> 00:33:22,654
- They know best, right?
- Fuck's sake, Rome.

804
00:33:22,654 --> 00:33:23,898
And you'll eat what's for dinner

805
00:33:23,909 --> 00:33:25,604
because they don't really
care for folks who answer back

806
00:33:25,615 --> 00:33:26,927
- or ask too many questions.
- Should I...

807
00:33:26,938 --> 00:33:27,981
Shut up!

808
00:33:27,992 --> 00:33:29,900
Innumerate residuum!

809
00:33:29,911 --> 00:33:31,121
We'll figure it out,

810
00:33:31,121 --> 00:33:32,914
and issue you with your new government

811
00:33:32,914 --> 00:33:35,709
to march into your homes
and take whatever we want

812
00:33:35,709 --> 00:33:37,794
in the way of your
mechanisms of self-defense,

813
00:33:37,794 --> 00:33:39,880
and tell your son she's
actually your daughter,

814
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,506
or the other way around, and then...

815
00:33:41,506 --> 00:33:44,217
Hey, Shiv, do you mind
actually not going on the floor?

816
00:33:44,738 --> 00:33:45,753
"It's all just peachy."

817
00:33:45,764 --> 00:33:47,208
- Even though it doesn't feel so peachy...
- Shiv?

818
00:33:47,219 --> 00:33:48,430
that you can't go out at night,

819
00:33:48,430 --> 00:33:50,182
and the new president
is opening up his borders

820
00:33:50,182 --> 00:33:52,023
- to his friends, yeah...
- Bullshit.

821
00:33:52,034 --> 00:33:53,703
Bullshit, Roman, fuck you.

822
00:33:53,714 --> 00:33:56,271
It's obvious that we need to be
smarter than this, better than this.

823
00:33:56,271 --> 00:33:57,981
We need a fucking opposing viewpoint.

824
00:34:01,109 --> 00:34:03,278
Could you call security for me?

825
00:34:04,894 --> 00:34:07,912
Sorry, you can't come down here.
It's... it's not me, it's just...

826
00:34:07,923 --> 00:34:09,299
Hey, Lukas.

827
00:34:09,310 --> 00:34:10,937
What the fuck is going on?

828
00:34:10,994 --> 00:34:12,954
Uh, yeah, great fucking question.

829
00:34:12,954 --> 00:34:14,164
Powerful commentary, huh?

830
00:34:14,164 --> 00:34:16,958
I don't feel good,
necessarily, about this, Rome.

831
00:34:16,958 --> 00:34:19,711
Shucks!

832
00:34:19,711 --> 00:34:21,963
Is it okay? Do I need to hustle?

833
00:34:21,963 --> 00:34:23,840
Do I need to get ready to be cozy

834
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,068
with this fucking Mr. Scary?

835
00:34:26,079 --> 00:34:27,831
No. No, I can handle. I can handle it.

836
00:34:27,842 --> 00:34:30,309
Yeah, 'cause Greg tells me it's
getting kinda hairy in there.

837
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,797
- Mm-hmm.
- Don't let them break my toy, Shiv, okay?

838
00:34:32,808 --> 00:34:35,811
No. All good. I'll be in touch.

839
00:34:35,811 --> 00:34:38,104
Sorry, we just need you off
the floor, if that's okay.

840
00:34:38,104 --> 00:34:41,388
- Yeah, got a minute?
- And now,

841
00:34:41,399 --> 00:34:45,487
apparently, the Democrats are
accusing this fire of being biased.

842
00:34:45,487 --> 00:34:47,113
That's right. Yeah, that sounds

843
00:34:47,113 --> 00:34:49,032
pretty much something out of their camp.

844
00:34:49,032 --> 00:34:51,201
"It only burnt Democratic votes."

845
00:34:51,201 --> 00:34:52,661
Yeah? You know, it's one of those...

846
00:34:52,661 --> 00:34:54,996
it's one of those picky fires.

847
00:34:58,135 --> 00:34:59,261
- Come on in.
- Yeah.

848
00:35:01,067 --> 00:35:03,911
- So...
- Yeah, just wanted to check in.

849
00:35:04,015 --> 00:35:07,769
- You know? It's been busy. So...
- Right. Yeah, on election day.

850
00:35:09,055 --> 00:35:10,181
Yeah.

851
00:35:10,493 --> 00:35:14,538
Yeah. So, how was your
night, last night, with Lukas?

852
00:35:16,482 --> 00:35:19,402
Shiv, I... I went for a drink with him.

853
00:35:19,516 --> 00:35:22,268
- That... that's not my fault.
- Uh-huh.

854
00:35:24,907 --> 00:35:27,201
Do you find me attractive, Gregory?

855
00:35:31,202 --> 00:35:34,831
I don't think of things such as that.

856
00:35:35,078 --> 00:35:38,081
Oh. Oh, I thought you were
a "disgusting brother."

857
00:35:38,081 --> 00:35:40,625
Is that... Was that
too disgusting for you?

858
00:35:41,626 --> 00:35:43,336
This is not appropriate.

859
00:35:44,523 --> 00:35:45,566
- It's...
- Uh-huh.

860
00:35:47,014 --> 00:35:49,748
Yeah, I, uh... I'm... Sorry, I don't...

861
00:35:49,759 --> 00:35:51,428
'Cause I'm just letting you know...

862
00:35:52,369 --> 00:35:54,079
that if you try to fuck me...

863
00:35:55,233 --> 00:35:56,276
I'll kill you.

864
00:35:58,879 --> 00:36:00,434
- Mm-hmm?
- Mm-hmm, got it.

865
00:36:01,676 --> 00:36:03,177
Got it. Sorry, yeah.

866
00:36:04,943 --> 00:36:07,529
I guess my... my only question...

867
00:36:09,001 --> 00:36:11,920
would be, if... if
anything did come to pass,

868
00:36:11,931 --> 00:36:14,476
in terms of you and he...

869
00:36:16,197 --> 00:36:18,950
- you know, silence is golden.
- Hmm.

870
00:36:21,142 --> 00:36:22,977
Like how golden?

871
00:36:23,217 --> 00:36:25,428
- Uh-huh.
- Is there an offer?

872
00:36:26,035 --> 00:36:29,080
Yeah. Uh, yeah.

873
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,582
How about I offer for you to
keep all your internal organs

874
00:36:31,593 --> 00:36:34,179
on your insides, rather than
I pull them out your asshole?

875
00:36:36,412 --> 00:36:38,915
Go on. You're lumber.

876
00:36:39,882 --> 00:36:41,175
Keep your snout out.

877
00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:48,556
Simultaneously destroying
diversity of opinion

878
00:36:48,567 --> 00:36:50,553
wherever possible...

879
00:36:51,212 --> 00:36:52,255
Hey, guess what?

880
00:36:54,019 --> 00:36:56,146
Mencken will block the deal.

881
00:36:56,246 --> 00:36:57,410
Straight up. He'll kill it.

882
00:36:57,410 --> 00:36:59,329
If he wins, he'll refer it to FTC.

883
00:36:59,329 --> 00:37:01,247
Whatever, new law, foreign
ownership tightening.

884
00:37:01,247 --> 00:37:03,708
Whatever, he'll screw
it up. In exchange...

885
00:37:04,687 --> 00:37:06,082
for our support tonight.

886
00:37:06,093 --> 00:37:10,496
- In, like... in so many words?
- In those words.

887
00:37:10,693 --> 00:37:12,761
Shall I get Tom? Shall
I get the human abacus?

888
00:37:12,772 --> 00:37:14,566
Shall I? Let's do it.

889
00:37:15,947 --> 00:37:17,513
This is good news.

890
00:37:23,228 --> 00:37:24,385
Hey, hey.

891
00:37:24,396 --> 00:37:26,481
- Hey.
- So, uh, thanks for, uh...

892
00:37:26,481 --> 00:37:28,775
Whatever. Uh, we have the votes. So...

893
00:37:29,165 --> 00:37:30,599
Can't rerun fairly

894
00:37:30,610 --> 00:37:33,989
and can't let lefty terrorism
affect us, so let's call it.

895
00:37:33,989 --> 00:37:37,742
On what precedent?
By... by what authority?

896
00:37:37,742 --> 00:37:40,766
Uh, by the power of
me, the CEO of Waystar,

897
00:37:40,777 --> 00:37:43,071
telling you what to put on
the telly-box mouth-people.

898
00:37:43,082 --> 00:37:44,572
Uh...

899
00:37:44,583 --> 00:37:46,627
I don't think we can do that, guys.

900
00:37:46,638 --> 00:37:48,283
I think we can do it, Dar.

901
00:37:48,294 --> 00:37:51,047
If we call it, and
the... the... the others

902
00:37:51,047 --> 00:37:52,382
- went his way...
- Right, well, look.

903
00:37:52,382 --> 00:37:53,925
There are still outstanding states.

904
00:37:53,925 --> 00:37:56,344
There's Michigan,
Ohio, Georgia, Arizona.

905
00:37:56,344 --> 00:37:58,013
It's really not that big
a deal. It's one state.

906
00:37:58,013 --> 00:37:59,639
I'm worried it's not a decision

907
00:37:59,639 --> 00:38:02,475
- that I could necessarily...
- Uh-huh. Yeah, thank you.

908
00:38:02,475 --> 00:38:04,185
And everyone respects you, Darwin,

909
00:38:04,185 --> 00:38:06,146
but this isn't actually a numbers thing.

910
00:38:06,146 --> 00:38:08,273
I mean, the Wisconsin
Elections Commission,

911
00:38:08,273 --> 00:38:10,066
the Milwaukee Election Commission

912
00:38:10,066 --> 00:38:13,278
will go to court and the
camps will litigate it.

913
00:38:13,278 --> 00:38:15,405
- Mm-hmm.
- And it'll be a jurisdiction fight

914
00:38:15,405 --> 00:38:16,740
that I think Mencken might shade,

915
00:38:16,740 --> 00:38:19,409
- but, you know, we can't...
- Yeah, that's... that's great.

916
00:38:19,409 --> 00:38:22,662
Uh, but I'm just gonna say
we're good and that's on me.

917
00:38:22,662 --> 00:38:24,873
The votes that exist have been tallied,

918
00:38:24,873 --> 00:38:26,048
and that gives Mencken the state.

919
00:38:26,059 --> 00:38:28,854
But you don't... you don't
make the call. I make the call.

920
00:38:29,044 --> 00:38:30,418
We're gonna make the
call together, Tom...

921
00:38:30,429 --> 00:38:32,797
You can't make the call
until I make the call.

922
00:38:32,797 --> 00:38:34,924
Okay. So... and I'm
not gonna make you do anything.

923
00:38:34,924 --> 00:38:36,468
This is the situation in Wisconsin.

924
00:38:36,468 --> 00:38:40,068
How would you feel if we
were to not "call it" call it,

925
00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:41,336
but, um...

926
00:38:41,347 --> 00:38:44,142
Like, pending. We could call it pending.

927
00:38:44,142 --> 00:38:45,243
You could even explain it.

928
00:38:45,254 --> 00:38:47,924
We can get a camera on you
to explain it to people.

929
00:38:47,935 --> 00:38:49,316
We had a number of Jimenez

930
00:38:49,326 --> 00:38:50,846
campaign surrogates over the last week,

931
00:38:50,857 --> 00:38:53,234
sounding the alarm
about the lack of turnout

932
00:38:53,234 --> 00:38:55,820
- of Black and Latino voters...
- I could explain.

933
00:38:56,876 --> 00:39:00,588
And could there be a
graphic that makes it clear

934
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:02,695
the call isn't a...

935
00:39:03,938 --> 00:39:05,127
"call" call?

936
00:39:05,138 --> 00:39:06,681
"Pending call."

937
00:39:08,394 --> 00:39:09,771
Okay, okay.

938
00:39:10,336 --> 00:39:11,754
- Uh...
- Mm! Sorry.

939
00:39:11,765 --> 00:39:13,208
Okay.

940
00:39:13,695 --> 00:39:15,496
- All right, so...
- Yeah?

941
00:39:15,507 --> 00:39:17,093
- Okay.
- Satisfied, fucky fucks?

942
00:39:17,104 --> 00:39:18,107
- Okay.
- Soon as we can.

943
00:39:18,118 --> 00:39:20,287
- Great.
- Uh...

944
00:39:21,256 --> 00:39:23,175
What's up?

945
00:39:23,413 --> 00:39:25,433
You okay? What?

946
00:39:25,433 --> 00:39:27,602
There's something in my eyes. Um...

947
00:39:27,602 --> 00:39:31,314
Greg? Wasabi.

948
00:39:31,314 --> 00:39:34,275
Is it wasabi? There's wasabi in my eyes?

949
00:39:34,275 --> 00:39:35,888
- I've got wasabi in my eyes?
- Oh, Jesus.

950
00:39:35,899 --> 00:39:37,487
Wait, wait, wait, hold on.

951
00:39:40,073 --> 00:39:41,866
No, it's gone more
in. It's gone more in.

952
00:39:41,866 --> 00:39:43,243
- What's going on?
- It's on my fingers.

953
00:39:43,243 --> 00:39:44,945
What's going on?

954
00:39:44,956 --> 00:39:46,538
- What did you do to him?
- It stings!

955
00:39:46,538 --> 00:39:49,124
- What?
- Get some water or something, Greg!

956
00:39:49,124 --> 00:39:50,667
Holy mother! Mother of God.

957
00:39:50,667 --> 00:39:52,794
- Fuck me slowly, this smarts.
- Okay.

958
00:39:52,794 --> 00:39:54,825
Quick Greg, put water
in it. Put water in...

959
00:39:56,046 --> 00:39:58,006
- It's washing it in!
- That's lemon!

960
00:39:58,017 --> 00:39:59,310
It's lemon, Greg!

961
00:39:59,321 --> 00:40:01,740
- That's clear. It's La Croix!
- Jesus! Fuck, Greg.

962
00:40:01,751 --> 00:40:03,293
- What are you doing?
- Oh, come on.

963
00:40:03,304 --> 00:40:05,557
- It's lemony, Greg. It's lemony!
- It's La Croix!

964
00:40:05,557 --> 00:40:07,183
Jesus H. Christ!

965
00:40:07,183 --> 00:40:08,935
- No, it's natural! Like, medical!
- Get some tissues, man.

966
00:40:08,935 --> 00:40:11,307
Give it to me. Oh, my God.

967
00:40:11,318 --> 00:40:13,982
It's not that lemony!
It's just a hint of lemon.

968
00:40:13,982 --> 00:40:16,112
Darwin? You good to call it?

969
00:40:16,123 --> 00:40:18,153
He can't fucking call it, Rome.

970
00:40:18,153 --> 00:40:19,364
We're calling it, Shiv.

971
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,627
- He just called it, okay?
- Great. Thanks.

972
00:40:21,781 --> 00:40:25,380
Greg, do not put any more lemon water,

973
00:40:25,391 --> 00:40:27,852
or wasabi, in his eyes, okay?

974
00:40:32,333 --> 00:40:34,377
Hey, Con, you shouldn't
really be in here.

975
00:40:34,377 --> 00:40:36,296
And a very good evening to you, too.

976
00:40:36,296 --> 00:40:38,818
- Hey! Presidente. Sike!
- Rome. Sweetheart. One sec.

977
00:40:38,829 --> 00:40:41,130
- Would you wait over here for me a second, baby?
- Uh, sure.

978
00:40:41,141 --> 00:40:42,624
Fellas, would you wait
over here for me a second?

979
00:40:42,635 --> 00:40:44,679
- Yeah. Yep? Mm-hmm?
- Rome. One thought.

980
00:40:44,679 --> 00:40:46,264
How about I concede

981
00:40:46,829 --> 00:40:48,665
in his direction?

982
00:40:48,892 --> 00:40:51,561
I scratch his balls, he scratches mine?

983
00:40:51,561 --> 00:40:54,189
That's interesting. Uh, perhaps-ish.

984
00:40:54,189 --> 00:40:56,441
- Let me check on that, yeah.
- "Perhaps-ish"?

985
00:40:56,441 --> 00:40:57,942
- Perhaps-ish, yeah. Come on.
- I'm coming.

986
00:40:57,942 --> 00:40:59,777
- Seventeen electoral votes...
- Pam?

987
00:40:59,777 --> 00:41:01,988
We're calling, uh,
Wisconsin for Mencken.

988
00:41:01,988 --> 00:41:04,015
Get the graphics up.
Dave, let them know we're five out

989
00:41:04,026 --> 00:41:05,611
- from calling Wisconsin.
- All right.

990
00:41:05,622 --> 00:41:07,290
We are calling Wisconsin for Mencken.

991
00:41:07,301 --> 00:41:08,976
Five minutes. Is that graphic ready?

992
00:41:08,987 --> 00:41:11,623
There is a big ol'
call to make right now,

993
00:41:11,623 --> 00:41:14,751
and that is ATN is
projecting that Jeryd Mencken

994
00:41:14,751 --> 00:41:16,794
has won the state of Wisconsin.

995
00:41:16,794 --> 00:41:18,922
You know, we've
been reporting on that fire

996
00:41:18,922 --> 00:41:20,855
in the Milwaukee vote count center.

997
00:41:20,866 --> 00:41:22,664
Nonetheless, our decision desk

998
00:41:22,675 --> 00:41:25,220
is confident in making this call.

999
00:41:25,220 --> 00:41:28,264
Jeryd Mencken has won
the state of Wisconsin,

1000
00:41:28,384 --> 00:41:31,893
and there goes the blue wall.
That's ten electoral votes,

1001
00:41:31,893 --> 00:41:34,959
that brings Mencken up to 246...

1002
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:38,055
Okay, man. Okay.
There's something there.

1003
00:41:38,234 --> 00:41:40,320
Sordid backseat fuck job.

1004
00:41:40,331 --> 00:41:42,375
Oh, tell me more.

1005
00:41:42,445 --> 00:41:44,141
- He wants to keep up the momentum.
- Jeryd Mencken

1006
00:41:44,152 --> 00:41:47,264
is now 24 electoral votes away

1007
00:41:47,275 --> 00:41:48,918
from winning the presidency.

1008
00:41:48,929 --> 00:41:50,180
Do you really wanna?

1009
00:41:50,813 --> 00:41:52,189
Slovenia, Willa.

1010
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,121
Mm-hmm.

1011
00:41:56,376 --> 00:42:00,296
I mean, I am torn, and
he's very, uh, right-wing.

1012
00:42:02,479 --> 00:42:07,234
But Vienna for lunch, Venice for dinner.

1013
00:42:07,387 --> 00:42:09,472
And Dubrovnik for breakfast.

1014
00:42:10,373 --> 00:42:12,047
My fellow Americans,

1015
00:42:12,058 --> 00:42:15,770
it's becoming clear tonight,
that as far as we can tell,

1016
00:42:15,827 --> 00:42:17,711
Mr. Jeryd Mencken will likely be

1017
00:42:17,722 --> 00:42:20,263
- the next president of the United States.
- Yes.

1018
00:42:20,274 --> 00:42:22,384
- And I, for one, wish him well.
- Mm-hmm.

1019
00:42:22,395 --> 00:42:23,558
Connor was running for president?

1020
00:42:23,569 --> 00:42:25,011
For although I set out a

1021
00:42:25,021 --> 00:42:26,533
clear and compelling path...

1022
00:42:26,544 --> 00:42:29,158
- Okay, all right.
- ... America, in her divine wisdom,

1023
00:42:29,158 --> 00:42:30,952
has chosen to take another.

1024
00:42:31,692 --> 00:42:34,570
Well, good luck. And...

1025
00:42:34,850 --> 00:42:36,571
I'd like to say to my
first running mate,

1026
00:42:36,582 --> 00:42:38,835
who I will not dignify
with a name-check,

1027
00:42:38,835 --> 00:42:41,722
but had that woman not dropped out,

1028
00:42:42,213 --> 00:42:45,534
and then had I not had to
replace her with another figure,

1029
00:42:45,545 --> 00:42:47,189
who turned out not to be
able to bear the weight

1030
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,322
of public scrutiny,

1031
00:42:48,333 --> 00:42:52,970
had I not been betrayed
by those two jackrabbits,

1032
00:42:53,259 --> 00:42:54,480
who knows?

1033
00:42:54,777 --> 00:42:58,572
Politics of envy. Ugly game.

1034
00:42:59,237 --> 00:43:00,947
I happen to be a billionaire.

1035
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,004
Sorry.

1036
00:43:03,526 --> 00:43:05,778
But honestly, America, you flunked it.

1037
00:43:05,778 --> 00:43:07,363
I guess you're gonna have to find

1038
00:43:07,363 --> 00:43:10,133
some other poor mook's
paps to suckle on.

1039
00:43:10,501 --> 00:43:11,919
- Okay.
- The corrupt bipartisan

1040
00:43:11,930 --> 00:43:14,516
- system zombie marches on.
- All right.

1041
00:43:14,619 --> 00:43:17,707
And so I call out to my
friends tonight, to my people.

1042
00:43:17,707 --> 00:43:21,794
I say, Conheads, I salute
you. And, America, be afraid.

1043
00:43:22,401 --> 00:43:23,444
Be warned...

1044
00:43:24,350 --> 00:43:26,061
for the Conheads are coming.

1045
00:43:26,228 --> 00:43:28,813
Thank you. God bless America.

1046
00:43:28,846 --> 00:43:31,335
ATN decision desk is now projecting.

1047
00:43:31,346 --> 00:43:33,890
Daniel Jimenez has won
the state of Michigan

1048
00:43:33,890 --> 00:43:35,385
- over Jeryd Mencken.
- Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

1049
00:43:35,396 --> 00:43:38,872
That's 15 electoral votes.
Our tally now goes...

1050
00:43:38,883 --> 00:43:39,949
- Are you ready for this?
- All right, all right.

1051
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,887
Two-hundred-and-sixty-two for Mencken,

1052
00:43:41,898 --> 00:43:46,194
- and 262 for Daniel Jimenez.
- A dead heat.

1053
00:43:46,194 --> 00:43:47,987
Polls will be closing soon in Alaska,

1054
00:43:47,987 --> 00:43:51,491
the only state yet to be
called other than Arizona

1055
00:43:51,491 --> 00:43:53,622
and its 11 electoral votes.

1056
00:43:53,633 --> 00:43:55,495
Let's maybe go harass
the decision desk about what's

1057
00:43:55,495 --> 00:43:57,747
- taking so long for Arizona.
- Guys. Uh, just a heads-up.

1058
00:43:57,747 --> 00:44:00,047
We hear... We are getting
it from the campaigns

1059
00:44:00,058 --> 00:44:01,601
that the data nerds

1060
00:44:01,709 --> 00:44:05,039
are hearing that... Well, Dar, you say.

1061
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,457
So, uh, Arizona is gonna go red.

1062
00:44:08,497 --> 00:44:09,873
All right, well then that's, uh...

1063
00:44:09,884 --> 00:44:11,682
- That would be it, right?
- I mean, we're...

1064
00:44:11,693 --> 00:44:15,321
we're kind of boxed in,
uh, because of Wisconsin.

1065
00:44:15,332 --> 00:44:17,558
Uh, I mean, I... I don't
feel comfortable calling it.

1066
00:44:17,558 --> 00:44:19,767
I mean, PGN is gonna be
calling it. Right, Tom?

1067
00:44:19,778 --> 00:44:21,562
- Yeah...
- I mean, they're going to call Arizona.

1068
00:44:21,562 --> 00:44:24,649
Because if we call it,
because of Wisconsin, we...

1069
00:44:24,649 --> 00:44:26,567
we called Wisconsin "pending," so...

1070
00:44:26,567 --> 00:44:28,986
Yeah, we already called Wisconsin, okay?

1071
00:44:28,986 --> 00:44:30,613
We can't un-call Wisconsin, can we?

1072
00:44:30,613 --> 00:44:32,708
That would make us all
look pretty unprofessional.

1073
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,430
So, Arizona?

1074
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,936
- We're calling the election?
- Yeah.

1075
00:44:38,947 --> 00:44:40,251
- No, no.
- No?

1076
00:44:40,262 --> 00:44:41,375
- No.
- It's math, dude.

1077
00:44:41,386 --> 00:44:42,846
Tom, will you guys give
us a minute, please?

1078
00:44:42,857 --> 00:44:44,734
- Fuck.
- Sure, okay.

1079
00:44:44,794 --> 00:44:47,171
One minute. Be
back in one minute, please.

1080
00:44:47,171 --> 00:44:48,798
What?

1081
00:44:48,798 --> 00:44:50,597
- That's it. That's it.
- I don't know, Rome.

1082
00:44:50,608 --> 00:44:52,276
Like, maybe... maybe we...

1083
00:44:53,643 --> 00:44:54,811
revisit Wisconsin.

1084
00:44:54,822 --> 00:44:56,773
- Okay.
- Because, yeah, we... I mean, we...

1085
00:44:56,784 --> 00:44:59,577
- That was... kind of...
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1086
00:44:59,588 --> 00:45:00,714
- Right?
- Okay, I get it. No, you're gonna,

1087
00:45:00,725 --> 00:45:02,477
like, big brother it right now.

1088
00:45:02,675 --> 00:45:04,219
- That's what you're gonna do?
- No.

1089
00:45:04,230 --> 00:45:05,773
- Like what?
- Oh, like when, you know,

1090
00:45:05,773 --> 00:45:07,608
if you want roast chicken
and I wanted steak,

1091
00:45:07,608 --> 00:45:09,026
we always had chicken.

1092
00:45:09,026 --> 00:45:11,577
Because you'd... you'd
freak out. You'd tantrum.

1093
00:45:11,588 --> 00:45:13,840
- So they thought...
- I would fucking tantrum

1094
00:45:13,851 --> 00:45:15,603
because I never had fucking steak.

1095
00:45:15,653 --> 00:45:18,058
Well, I think they got scared if...

1096
00:45:18,900 --> 00:45:21,194
you know, if you tantrumed,
then you'd think you'd won,

1097
00:45:21,205 --> 00:45:22,665
- so they couldn't let you...
- I never won.

1098
00:45:22,665 --> 00:45:24,274
- It was always fucking chicken.
- So, because we had so much

1099
00:45:24,285 --> 00:45:25,396
chicken when we were kids,

1100
00:45:25,407 --> 00:45:28,113
- I have to like the fascist?
- Yeah.

1101
00:45:28,503 --> 00:45:29,754
If we don't call it early

1102
00:45:29,765 --> 00:45:31,725
and he wins anyway,
which is perfectly possible,

1103
00:45:31,736 --> 00:45:34,114
but without us tonight?
Think about that.

1104
00:45:34,177 --> 00:45:36,053
With FVA and VeraNews backing him,

1105
00:45:36,053 --> 00:45:38,431
we're left the most dickless
eunuchs in cuck town.

1106
00:45:38,431 --> 00:45:40,433
- We call it? We call this?
- Mm-hmm.

1107
00:45:40,457 --> 00:45:42,310
- If we push it...
- Yeah?

1108
00:45:42,310 --> 00:45:43,401
maybe it happens.

1109
00:45:43,412 --> 00:45:45,844
Yeah. We give it to Mencken,
Mencken blocks the deal.

1110
00:45:45,855 --> 00:45:47,456
He's not fucking
wishy-washy. He's a guy.

1111
00:45:47,467 --> 00:45:49,853
I don't know, dude. I mean...

1112
00:45:50,294 --> 00:45:52,071
Exactly. All of the mainstream media.

1113
00:45:52,082 --> 00:45:53,422
All of the Democrats...

1114
00:45:53,433 --> 00:45:55,253
My kids. The whole thing.

1115
00:45:55,263 --> 00:45:57,207
"Oh, America! Oh."

1116
00:45:57,283 --> 00:46:00,995
Well, I mean, it is kind
of a nice idea, you know?

1117
00:46:00,995 --> 00:46:02,580
All the different people together.

1118
00:46:02,580 --> 00:46:06,709
What? All right.
What... what would Dad do?

1119
00:46:06,950 --> 00:46:08,330
- Oh, come on.
- I don't know. I don't actually know.

1120
00:46:08,341 --> 00:46:09,738
Yes, you fucking do, man!

1121
00:46:09,749 --> 00:46:10,750
The guy in the pocket.

1122
00:46:10,761 --> 00:46:11,942
The guy that's gonna answer our calls.

1123
00:46:11,953 --> 00:46:14,164
The fucking guy printing US dollars.

1124
00:46:14,175 --> 00:46:15,178
This is all upside.

1125
00:46:15,189 --> 00:46:17,571
Apart from the matter of him
smashing the country to pieces.

1126
00:46:17,582 --> 00:46:19,985
Oh, God! Don't be such
a fucking prissy...

1127
00:46:19,996 --> 00:46:22,301
Okay, maybe we could deal
with a dose of that, right?

1128
00:46:22,312 --> 00:46:23,893
Like a nice little
dose of the frighteners?

1129
00:46:23,893 --> 00:46:25,972
- Wind shit back 20?
- You know one of those fucking guys

1130
00:46:25,982 --> 00:46:27,730
pushed my daughter.

1131
00:46:27,741 --> 00:46:30,160
- Uh, she's okay?
- If we do this...

1132
00:46:32,281 --> 00:46:33,910
people... people are gonna say shit.

1133
00:46:33,921 --> 00:46:36,478
Yeah. We'll be in the West
Wing. Nothing matters, Ken.

1134
00:46:36,489 --> 00:46:38,434
Nothing fucking matters. Dad's dead,

1135
00:46:38,445 --> 00:46:41,619
and the country's just a big
pussy waiting to get fucked.

1136
00:46:42,513 --> 00:46:45,206
- Fucking...
- ... action, okay?

1137
00:46:45,206 --> 00:46:46,415
We can pay for any damages.

1138
00:46:46,415 --> 00:46:49,001
Let's just jam our fuckin'
heads in the bosom of history

1139
00:46:49,001 --> 00:46:50,920
and just...

1140
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,422
Right? I mean... Or, we sit on our hands

1141
00:46:53,422 --> 00:46:55,174
like a couple of damsels in distress,

1142
00:46:55,174 --> 00:46:58,135
and, you know, watch
our chance slip away.

1143
00:46:58,135 --> 00:47:01,472
PGN has a major projection to announce,

1144
00:47:01,472 --> 00:47:04,308
and that is that Jeryd
Mencken will win Arizona.

1145
00:47:04,308 --> 00:47:07,307
So, he is the winner
of 11 electoral votes

1146
00:47:07,318 --> 00:47:08,507
in Arizona...

1147
00:47:08,518 --> 00:47:10,160
- Hey.
- Hey.

1148
00:47:10,676 --> 00:47:12,858
Can we talk for a minute?

1149
00:47:12,858 --> 00:47:16,725
Yeah. We're fucked, Ken. We're fucked.

1150
00:47:16,873 --> 00:47:18,311
Because we called, it's fucked.

1151
00:47:18,322 --> 00:47:20,866
I don't know what we should do.
I feel like my head is just...

1152
00:47:20,866 --> 00:47:22,827
I... I can't... I can't, uh...

1153
00:47:23,961 --> 00:47:26,194
get the scale of it, what this is.

1154
00:47:26,205 --> 00:47:27,957
I mean, we can recant, yeah?

1155
00:47:27,957 --> 00:47:29,978
His team is being very direct.

1156
00:47:30,849 --> 00:47:33,042
They will block Matsson's deal.

1157
00:47:33,421 --> 00:47:34,964
Uh, well, he says he will.

1158
00:47:34,964 --> 00:47:37,977
We call it for him,
that gives him legitimacy to declare.

1159
00:47:38,123 --> 00:47:40,407
I mean, we're in bed
with him, I think, yeah?

1160
00:47:40,418 --> 00:47:41,571
Yeah, I...

1161
00:47:41,582 --> 00:47:44,460
I mean, it'll get ground out
in the courts, whatever we say.

1162
00:47:45,106 --> 00:47:46,816
Sure, right. But...

1163
00:47:46,974 --> 00:47:48,893
Yeah, look, shall we be...

1164
00:47:50,274 --> 00:47:53,263
- totally honest in here?
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

1165
00:47:53,274 --> 00:47:55,484
I have sometimes felt

1166
00:47:55,589 --> 00:47:57,528
like I could do it.

1167
00:47:57,528 --> 00:47:59,947
You know, like, I should do it. Me.

1168
00:48:00,243 --> 00:48:02,078
- Uh-huh.
- Just me.

1169
00:48:03,417 --> 00:48:05,525
But I don't want that to be an end

1170
00:48:05,536 --> 00:48:08,998
to the... the family thing, right?

1171
00:48:08,998 --> 00:48:11,083
I would just... I would
like to be able to talk...

1172
00:48:11,771 --> 00:48:14,774
openly about that feeling, maybe.

1173
00:48:15,906 --> 00:48:18,622
Sure. Yeah, no, I
appreciate... I appreciate that.

1174
00:48:18,633 --> 00:48:22,219
Mencken is kinda Roman's
guy, so that's complicated.

1175
00:48:22,219 --> 00:48:25,353
- Yeah, right.
- And, honestly, I feel...

1176
00:48:26,070 --> 00:48:28,656
threatened, maybe, by
their relationship, and...

1177
00:48:28,978 --> 00:48:30,355
So I want...

1178
00:48:30,603 --> 00:48:32,647
A piece of me wants to not support that,

1179
00:48:32,786 --> 00:48:36,039
and that's maybe in there,
pulling away from Mencken.

1180
00:48:36,093 --> 00:48:37,094
Uh-huh.

1181
00:48:39,293 --> 00:48:43,508
- But also, you're a good guy.
- Well, I don't know.

1182
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:46,290
- Sure. You are.
- Thank you.

1183
00:48:46,301 --> 00:48:48,511
- I don't know.
- No, essentially, you're...

1184
00:48:48,522 --> 00:48:49,815
you're a good guy.

1185
00:48:55,005 --> 00:48:58,008
But we... we all wanna
stop Matsson, right?

1186
00:48:58,019 --> 00:49:00,929
- That's the thing?
- Mm-hmm.

1187
00:49:02,648 --> 00:49:03,649
Yeah.

1188
00:49:04,602 --> 00:49:05,881
Go... go on.

1189
00:49:05,892 --> 00:49:08,478
Uh, well, I think whatever...

1190
00:49:10,059 --> 00:49:13,354
Whatever advantage to us as...
as... as corporate players

1191
00:49:13,354 --> 00:49:14,563
in the short term...

1192
00:49:15,804 --> 00:49:17,764
You know...

1193
00:49:18,025 --> 00:49:21,821
He's... Mencken's the nightmare, yeah?

1194
00:49:22,406 --> 00:49:24,366
Plausible in a decadent era.

1195
00:49:24,615 --> 00:49:27,492
He says the bad shit,
he believes the bad shit.

1196
00:49:27,503 --> 00:49:29,984
We wouldn't actually
be making him president.

1197
00:49:29,995 --> 00:49:32,498
Oh, sure. We might not be able
to crown him, but we can...

1198
00:49:32,498 --> 00:49:34,250
we can stop him.

1199
00:49:34,250 --> 00:49:37,002
He gets momentum tonight,
it makes it possible.

1200
00:49:37,474 --> 00:49:39,267
He needs our call.

1201
00:49:49,390 --> 00:49:51,434
I don't think I'm a very good father.

1202
00:49:53,248 --> 00:49:57,752
You are. You're... No, you're okay.

1203
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:01,424
You've tried. That's all we can do.

1204
00:50:02,058 --> 00:50:07,397
- Maybe the poison drips through.
- No. No. And you know what?

1205
00:50:07,408 --> 00:50:09,660
I don't think even Dad
would back him tonight.

1206
00:50:09,660 --> 00:50:12,788
- He basically picked him.
- Sure, but we throw the papers

1207
00:50:12,788 --> 00:50:14,123
and the whole thing in for him?

1208
00:50:14,123 --> 00:50:16,417
And then in a... in a
month, a week from now,

1209
00:50:16,417 --> 00:50:17,668
the courts go the other way?

1210
00:50:17,668 --> 00:50:19,712
It's... We're essentially
done as a news organization.

1211
00:50:19,712 --> 00:50:21,547
It's just hard to think

1212
00:50:21,547 --> 00:50:23,424
we'd give it all away to Matsson.

1213
00:50:26,467 --> 00:50:30,471
Could we try? Could you try once?

1214
00:50:30,664 --> 00:50:34,709
Direct to Nate, to get something
from them to block the deal?

1215
00:50:35,056 --> 00:50:37,496
Uh... yeah.

1216
00:50:39,758 --> 00:50:42,345
- Yeah.
- Sure.

1217
00:50:43,959 --> 00:50:45,877
- One of these?
- Yeah.

1218
00:50:48,390 --> 00:50:49,433
You're a good guy.

1219
00:50:51,947 --> 00:50:52,948
Okay, yeah.

1220
00:51:09,616 --> 00:51:11,117
Hey, Nate.

1221
00:51:11,414 --> 00:51:15,209
Yeah, just calling with
a quick, uh, check-in.

1222
00:51:17,063 --> 00:51:19,069
- Uh, yeah.
- We're sorry.

1223
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,247
- The number you have reached...
- To be honest,

1224
00:51:20,257 --> 00:51:21,565
- just wondering if Jimenez...
- ... is not in service.

1225
00:51:21,565 --> 00:51:23,232
- Please check the number or try...
- I don't know, could he...

1226
00:51:23,243 --> 00:51:24,485
your call again.

1227
00:51:26,349 --> 00:51:29,198
- So, um...
- Mencken now stands at 265...

1228
00:51:29,198 --> 00:51:31,826
Yeah, Shiv's seeing what
we can get from the Dems.

1229
00:51:31,826 --> 00:51:33,536
Oh, get the fuck out of here.

1230
00:51:33,536 --> 00:51:36,121
- Why? We got it.
- I really need to know what we're doing, guys.

1231
00:51:36,121 --> 00:51:37,873
If we're gonna stick with Wisconsin...

1232
00:51:37,873 --> 00:51:40,751
- Okay, one moment. One moment, Tom. One moment.
- We're gonna stick... Ugh.

1233
00:51:41,331 --> 00:51:44,251
So? You talk to him?

1234
00:51:44,413 --> 00:51:45,831
Uh, yeah. I think there's, uh...

1235
00:51:45,842 --> 00:51:47,343
there's... there's something there.

1236
00:51:47,424 --> 00:51:50,750
- No, there's not.
- Like? Like?

1237
00:51:50,761 --> 00:51:53,722
Like, they might be... they
are... willing to think.

1238
00:51:53,722 --> 00:51:56,016
Oh! They might be, or maybe they are,

1239
00:51:56,016 --> 00:51:57,747
willing to think. Maybe.

1240
00:51:57,977 --> 00:51:59,728
- That sounds like horseshit.
- No. Rome.

1241
00:51:59,728 --> 00:52:01,564
They're just not so direct.

1242
00:52:01,717 --> 00:52:04,525
Yeah? I... I... I think we can
probably get 'em to stop it.

1243
00:52:04,525 --> 00:52:05,901
Oh, they "probably." Yeah, go.

1244
00:52:05,901 --> 00:52:08,112
Sorry, no. Uh, game over. Bullshit.

1245
00:52:08,170 --> 00:52:09,738
No. We have to call it.

1246
00:52:09,738 --> 00:52:11,866
- Mencken is rock-solid.
- Roman, even Dad...

1247
00:52:11,866 --> 00:52:14,076
Even... even Dad, in this situation,

1248
00:52:14,076 --> 00:52:15,744
- would respect the process.
- No!

1249
00:52:15,744 --> 00:52:17,111
Dad did whatever the fuck he wanted.

1250
00:52:17,122 --> 00:52:19,416
He... One fax, he took out a government.

1251
00:52:19,427 --> 00:52:21,666
He did the "Fuck Lyle!" Send.

1252
00:52:21,677 --> 00:52:23,199
And that was it. That's all it took.

1253
00:52:23,210 --> 00:52:25,239
Fucking Canada, here.
He didn't give a shit.

1254
00:52:25,250 --> 00:52:26,752
He liked stability, Rome. He pushed,

1255
00:52:26,763 --> 00:52:28,121
but he didn't want shit to unravel.

1256
00:52:28,132 --> 00:52:30,843
He... he helped end...
I mean, he ended wars.

1257
00:52:30,843 --> 00:52:32,011
He ended wars that he started.

1258
00:52:32,011 --> 00:52:33,262
He did whatever the fuck he wanted.

1259
00:52:33,262 --> 00:52:35,014
What did they say, Shiv?

1260
00:52:35,014 --> 00:52:36,557
Like, what did Nate actually say?

1261
00:52:36,557 --> 00:52:38,225
He said, uh, they would talk,

1262
00:52:38,225 --> 00:52:40,019
and that they could see the arguments,

1263
00:52:40,019 --> 00:52:42,585
and I... I... I think it's encouraging.

1264
00:52:43,394 --> 00:52:46,609
- You felt like it was encouraging? Wow!
- It was. It was encouraging.

1265
00:52:46,609 --> 00:52:48,819
It was a feeling. I got something real.

1266
00:52:48,819 --> 00:52:50,821
This is fuckin' pointless.

1267
00:52:50,821 --> 00:52:52,406
- What a waste of time.
- What are you doing?

1268
00:52:52,406 --> 00:52:54,533
I'm gonna call. I...
I... I'm just gonna...

1269
00:52:54,533 --> 00:52:57,244
I'm gonna be very direct. We just...
we just need a little bit more,

1270
00:52:57,244 --> 00:52:58,791
- and, uh...
- Don't call him.

1271
00:52:58,802 --> 00:53:00,011
Why?

1272
00:53:00,053 --> 00:53:02,597
They're... Uh, they're busy.

1273
00:53:09,673 --> 00:53:12,927
Can't have uncertainty.
Can't. Fucking market.

1274
00:53:12,927 --> 00:53:15,679
The chaos of trying to
rerun an entire election

1275
00:53:15,679 --> 00:53:17,477
could just send the country
into meltdown, you know?

1276
00:53:17,488 --> 00:53:19,409
- Okay. Bad faith argument.
- I'm telling you.

1277
00:53:19,420 --> 00:53:21,602
I'm just telling you. You
cannot have uncertainty.

1278
00:53:21,602 --> 00:53:23,604
- China is coming.
- "China is coming"?

1279
00:53:23,604 --> 00:53:25,773
- China's coming.
- China's already been. Next.

1280
00:53:27,851 --> 00:53:31,104
It's not like the
fucking "final" final anyway.

1281
00:53:31,115 --> 00:53:32,413
Okay? There's the court shit,

1282
00:53:32,424 --> 00:53:34,685
and it all kind of just
fuzzes along, you know?

1283
00:53:34,696 --> 00:53:36,739
It's just a waste of fucking time.

1284
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:38,460
That we don't have, by the way.

1285
00:53:41,374 --> 00:53:43,626
Hey, Greg? Can I ask you a question?

1286
00:53:43,925 --> 00:53:45,084
What's up?

1287
00:53:45,084 --> 00:53:47,752
Do you know if there's
something going on?

1288
00:53:49,318 --> 00:53:53,238
What else Nate and Gil and
fucking Jimenez offer you?

1289
00:53:53,249 --> 00:53:56,336
Unlimited social security
spending with this one weird trick?

1290
00:54:06,377 --> 00:54:07,753
How was that call?

1291
00:54:09,090 --> 00:54:11,342
What'd you get? Whole bunch of not much?

1292
00:54:12,850 --> 00:54:14,727
Really?

1293
00:54:14,738 --> 00:54:17,408
- What?
- "I think you're a good guy"?

1294
00:54:19,618 --> 00:54:22,287
Uh, well... I found it hard to get Nate,

1295
00:54:22,287 --> 00:54:25,080
- so I summarized some impressions.
- Oh, right, right, right.

1296
00:54:25,091 --> 00:54:27,058
Smart. Really good, Shiv.

1297
00:54:28,229 --> 00:54:29,481
But you lied.

1298
00:54:29,712 --> 00:54:31,046
- Oh...
- Right?

1299
00:54:31,046 --> 00:54:32,881
She didn't get anything from Nate.

1300
00:54:33,146 --> 00:54:34,550
- Really?
- She didn't speak to Nate.

1301
00:54:34,550 --> 00:54:36,211
And she's in with Matsson.

1302
00:54:36,222 --> 00:54:37,798
- Mm...
- Sorry, what?

1303
00:54:37,809 --> 00:54:40,771
No, I... No.

1304
00:54:41,064 --> 00:54:45,049
No. I... I... I... I did
what we all agreed to,

1305
00:54:45,060 --> 00:54:46,897
that I got close to him
so that I could help...

1306
00:54:46,908 --> 00:54:49,369
- Shiv's fucking us. Right, Shivy?
- Wow.

1307
00:54:49,509 --> 00:54:52,860
No. No! No, no, no. I...
I... I... I... I... I...

1308
00:54:52,860 --> 00:54:54,403
- "I... I... I... I... I..."
- ... was...

1309
00:54:54,403 --> 00:54:56,321
I fucking some asked you
some real questions, Shiv.

1310
00:54:56,321 --> 00:54:57,573
I wondered why you looked like a goose

1311
00:54:57,573 --> 00:55:00,034
trying to shit a house
brick, you piece of dirt.

1312
00:55:00,034 --> 00:55:02,765
Okay, what? You got yourself a
little fucking side deal here?

1313
00:55:02,776 --> 00:55:05,153
No. No. I have some
options. I... I was, uh...

1314
00:55:05,164 --> 00:55:06,999
- I was going through with the plan.
- Uh-huh.

1315
00:55:06,999 --> 00:55:10,438
- And then you two...
- Well, Mencken. Mencken, right?

1316
00:55:10,449 --> 00:55:12,087
- Mencken.
- No! What?

1317
00:55:12,087 --> 00:55:13,151
Tom!

1318
00:55:13,197 --> 00:55:16,209
- No! You even wanted to push us out of...
- Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

1319
00:55:16,220 --> 00:55:18,374
- ... the fucking nest. Please! Ken.
- Sure, sis. Sure, sure, sure.

1320
00:55:18,385 --> 00:55:20,554
Aside from all this, this
is not the right thing.

1321
00:55:20,554 --> 00:55:22,154
Aside from the fact that you lied to us,

1322
00:55:22,165 --> 00:55:24,232
and that doing what you
want precisely plays into

1323
00:55:24,243 --> 00:55:26,894
- your own interests, yeah?
- Oh, and this doesn't? Yeah?

1324
00:55:26,894 --> 00:55:30,439
Ken, please, come on.
Come on! Who are we?

1325
00:55:30,439 --> 00:55:32,066
Oh, yeah. Will no one
think of the children?

1326
00:55:32,066 --> 00:55:34,068
You know what? No, I'm
not gonna let this happen.

1327
00:55:34,068 --> 00:55:35,215
There comes a time...

1328
00:55:35,226 --> 00:55:37,293
- when you have to stand up for what you...
- "There comes a time..."

1329
00:55:39,114 --> 00:55:40,365
Seriously. This is real.

1330
00:55:40,365 --> 00:55:41,568
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay? I have a concern

1331
00:55:41,579 --> 00:55:43,689
for the state of the republic,
and... and pluralism and...

1332
00:55:43,702 --> 00:55:45,496
- and the future of this country.
- I'm snoring.

1333
00:55:45,496 --> 00:55:46,830
- You're so boring.
- And it... It is real.

1334
00:55:46,830 --> 00:55:48,582
You're such a bore, Shiv. Jesus.

1335
00:55:49,095 --> 00:55:52,599
- Fuck you. Ken?
- He's right.

1336
00:55:52,953 --> 00:55:55,739
Yeah. You're boring. And you
don't have a pass for in here.

1337
00:55:55,750 --> 00:55:58,050
Okay, well, fine. You know what?
I'm... Maybe I'll... I'll go pu...

1338
00:55:58,050 --> 00:55:59,259
I'll... I'll... I'll go public.

1339
00:55:59,259 --> 00:56:00,397
- Oh yeah?
- I'll go to the papers,

1340
00:56:00,408 --> 00:56:02,460
and people, and... and tell 'em
what you're actually fucking doing.

1341
00:56:02,471 --> 00:56:04,400
Wow. Well, if you're
gonna just be hysterical,

1342
00:56:04,411 --> 00:56:06,668
we're gonna have to,
you know, ask you to leave.

1343
00:56:06,678 --> 00:56:08,442
- Fuck you!
- People are trying to do some serious work in here.

1344
00:56:08,453 --> 00:56:11,039
Fuck you. This is about
the future of the country.

1345
00:56:12,341 --> 00:56:13,884
No, I think it's because you broke up

1346
00:56:13,895 --> 00:56:15,355
with your boyfriend.

1347
00:56:15,484 --> 00:56:17,236
Jesus, you're a prick.

1348
00:56:17,236 --> 00:56:18,361
Hello.

1349
00:56:18,372 --> 00:56:19,500
- Hey, Tom.
- Hey.

1350
00:56:19,511 --> 00:56:22,347
- So, call it. You can call it.
- No!

1351
00:56:22,491 --> 00:56:24,451
- We're calling it?
- Yeah. We called Wisconsin,

1352
00:56:24,451 --> 00:56:26,286
now we're gonna call Arizona,
so we call the election.

1353
00:56:26,286 --> 00:56:27,663
- We call the election?
- Call it.

1354
00:56:27,663 --> 00:56:29,873
- Call it.
- No. No, Tom. No.

1355
00:56:29,873 --> 00:56:31,878
You're making a terrible mistake.

1356
00:56:31,889 --> 00:56:34,517
- Please don't.
- Hey, guys, it's not my call.

1357
00:56:34,528 --> 00:56:35,904
It's not my call.

1358
00:56:36,155 --> 00:56:38,264
- Okay? It's our call.
- It's your call. It's up to you.

1359
00:56:38,275 --> 00:56:40,406
- If you say so, I say so.
- Call it. I say so.

1360
00:56:40,417 --> 00:56:42,795
Fucking Pontius Pilate.

1361
00:56:42,845 --> 00:56:44,680
No one cares. No one... no one cares.

1362
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,061
- Hey, yeah. Okay.
- Hey. Tell 'em I'm coming down.

1363
00:56:47,072 --> 00:56:49,977
Yes. We're gonna call it.
Yeah, we're calling for Mencken.

1364
00:56:49,977 --> 00:56:50,999
- All right.
- Oh.

1365
00:56:51,010 --> 00:56:53,638
Okay. Tell 'em I'm
coming. All right. Okay.

1366
00:56:53,832 --> 00:56:55,876
- Great work, Tom.
- Thank you.

1367
00:56:58,067 --> 00:56:59,641
Good stuff. Great night.

1368
00:57:05,117 --> 00:57:08,912
- Fuck.
- You okay?

1369
00:57:10,095 --> 00:57:13,181
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, uh... I... I...

1370
00:57:13,242 --> 00:57:15,128
I have to go, um...

1371
00:57:15,741 --> 00:57:19,286
tell them, I think... we're
calling it. For Mencken.

1372
00:57:20,087 --> 00:57:21,422
- Whoa.
- Yeah.

1373
00:57:22,898 --> 00:57:24,101
So...

1374
00:57:24,112 --> 00:57:25,238
- I should... I should...
- Right.

1375
00:57:25,249 --> 00:57:27,876
I should go. I'll get
in trouble if I don't go.

1376
00:57:27,931 --> 00:57:30,358
Okay, dude. I mean...

1377
00:57:30,642 --> 00:57:32,978
Yeah. I mean, it's not really my choice,

1378
00:57:32,978 --> 00:57:34,479
- right? So...
- Sure.

1379
00:57:34,479 --> 00:57:37,441
- I mean, right. Yeah.
- Yeah.

1380
00:57:37,441 --> 00:57:38,942
I'm just... I'm pressing the button.

1381
00:57:38,942 --> 00:57:40,485
Or I'm not even pressing
the button, I'm just...

1382
00:57:40,485 --> 00:57:44,031
I'm asking them to prepare
to press the button.

1383
00:57:44,031 --> 00:57:46,199
Right, and all that does is just, like,

1384
00:57:46,210 --> 00:57:48,838
launch a nuclear attack.

1385
00:57:50,485 --> 00:57:51,543
So...

1386
00:57:52,331 --> 00:57:55,834
It's not gonna change
anything if I don't go. So...

1387
00:57:55,834 --> 00:57:58,462
- Couple minutes. So, I mean...
- Right, right.

1388
00:57:58,462 --> 00:58:01,256
- You...
- But realistically...

1389
00:58:04,551 --> 00:58:06,261
Wow.

1390
00:58:08,591 --> 00:58:10,509
- Crazy.
- Yeah.

1391
00:58:10,564 --> 00:58:11,649
Crazy.

1392
00:58:13,149 --> 00:58:17,300
Crazy one.

1393
00:58:20,343 --> 00:58:23,095
So, Tom just told me.

1394
00:58:24,222 --> 00:58:26,433
Everybody, calling it for Mencken.

1395
00:58:27,559 --> 00:58:28,904
He's calling it for Mencken.

1396
00:58:30,494 --> 00:58:32,195
- Everyone, yeah?
- So he said, yeah?

1397
00:58:32,206 --> 00:58:34,125
- I just said.
- I'm calling it for Mencken.

1398
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,083
Okay?

1399
00:58:37,736 --> 00:58:39,404
- Okay.
- Okay, yeah.

1400
00:58:40,948 --> 00:58:43,242
Okay. Well, then, uh, Dave?

1401
00:58:43,253 --> 00:58:45,839
Okay. Uh, Lydia, get me "Mencken wins."

1402
00:58:45,850 --> 00:58:48,674
Get the ticker going
on, uh, ATN Citizens.

1403
00:58:48,685 --> 00:58:51,771
Let the people know, two
mins, and ATN is gonna call it.

1404
00:58:52,811 --> 00:58:54,799
We are gonna make this call now.

1405
00:58:54,810 --> 00:58:58,272
The ATN decision desk
has looked at the numbers

1406
00:58:58,348 --> 00:59:03,029
and is ready to declare
Arizona for Jeryd Mencken.

1407
00:59:03,327 --> 00:59:06,488
This means that Mencken
will be the next president

1408
00:59:06,488 --> 00:59:09,157
of the United States,
winning the most unreal,

1409
00:59:09,157 --> 00:59:11,952
surreal election we have
ever seen in this country.

1410
00:59:11,952 --> 00:59:15,163
His candidacy starting in
Virginia only six months ago

1411
00:59:15,163 --> 00:59:17,541
against a dozen other
Republican candidates

1412
00:59:17,541 --> 00:59:18,709
in the wake of the president

1413
00:59:18,709 --> 00:59:21,169
saying he wasn't going
to run for re-election.

1414
00:59:21,169 --> 00:59:24,840
What started off as an
unlikely impossibility,

1415
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,057
now a reality, it is Mencken.

1416
00:59:27,233 --> 00:59:29,652
Uh, well...

1417
00:59:29,724 --> 00:59:32,644
It's now clear I have won

1418
00:59:32,655 --> 00:59:36,200
sufficient electoral
votes to be declared

1419
00:59:36,211 --> 00:59:39,130
the next president
of the United States.

1420
00:59:40,476 --> 00:59:43,742
And I find the responsibility awesome!

1421
00:59:44,982 --> 00:59:46,692
Now, I know there are some who feel

1422
00:59:46,703 --> 00:59:48,436
there is something left to contest.

1423
00:59:48,447 --> 00:59:53,118
But votes have been cast,
votes have been tallied.

1424
00:59:53,118 --> 00:59:56,946
On another day, in another
time, they might have fallen

1425
00:59:56,957 --> 00:59:59,125
in another fashion.

1426
00:59:59,207 --> 01:00:03,545
The election has been called for
me by an authority of known integrity.

1427
01:00:03,545 --> 01:00:06,465
Maybe we should get,
um, like, a history guy?

1428
01:00:06,465 --> 01:00:08,258
You know, like a brain...

1429
01:00:08,258 --> 01:00:09,416
like a real brainiac,

1430
01:00:09,427 --> 01:00:14,170
to say why this sort of thing
has happened in the past,

1431
01:00:14,181 --> 01:00:16,600
and that it'll all be fine?

1432
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,228
To my critics, I am not a demagogue.

1433
01:00:20,891 --> 01:00:24,645
I am a defender of democracy.

1434
01:00:25,035 --> 01:00:30,609
But democracy, it has this
tendency that we have to beware

1435
01:00:30,807 --> 01:00:33,143
to become mere transaction.

1436
01:00:33,258 --> 01:00:36,526
I give you this. You give me that.

1437
01:00:36,537 --> 01:00:41,683
I come begging for your
vote. Welfare checkbook out.

1438
01:00:41,784 --> 01:00:44,620
Crowning the welfare kings and queens

1439
01:00:44,631 --> 01:00:46,841
till everyone has
become a little tyrant,

1440
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:48,104
crowned by the state.

1441
01:00:49,025 --> 01:00:50,623
The model that I follow

1442
01:00:50,634 --> 01:00:53,387
isn't from the scorched marketplace,

1443
01:00:53,387 --> 01:00:57,512
where cunning men haggle
for the best price.

1444
01:00:57,523 --> 01:01:00,651
That's not me. The
democracy I believe in

1445
01:01:00,685 --> 01:01:03,537
is where a leader
emerged from the people,

1446
01:01:04,211 --> 01:01:06,672
willed almost into being,

1447
01:01:06,889 --> 01:01:08,902
brought forth by the great sweetness

1448
01:01:08,902 --> 01:01:11,446
of the virtue of the combined wisdom

1449
01:01:11,446 --> 01:01:14,449
of the good people of this republic.

1450
01:01:15,615 --> 01:01:19,250
Don't we long
sometimes for something clean

1451
01:01:19,862 --> 01:01:23,434
once in this polluted land?
That's what I hope to bring.

1452
01:01:23,828 --> 01:01:26,294
Not something grubby with compromise.

1453
01:01:26,418 --> 01:01:29,506
Something clean
and true, and refreshing.

1454
01:01:29,506 --> 01:01:31,633
He's a guy we can do business with.

1455
01:01:31,633 --> 01:01:34,094
- Yeah.
- Something proud and pure...

1456
01:01:34,094 --> 01:01:36,888
He'll play ball. You should
hear him talk semiconductors.

1457
01:01:36,888 --> 01:01:39,839
- And God bless the United States of America.
- The market's holding the leash.

1458
01:01:39,850 --> 01:01:41,768
We just made a night of good TV.

1459
01:01:41,768 --> 01:01:44,521
That's what we've done. Nothing happens.

1460
01:01:44,939 --> 01:01:47,736
Things do happen, Rome.

1461
01:01:54,023 --> 01:01:55,275
President calling.

1462
01:01:57,213 --> 01:01:59,278
Yo, Hocus-POTUS.

1463
01:01:59,369 --> 01:02:01,705
Sitting in the POTUS
position. What's up?

1464
01:02:01,785 --> 01:02:03,498
Hey, man. I... Look, no time.

1465
01:02:03,498 --> 01:02:06,918
But just... just thanks, yeah?
You and me, man. We'll go far.

1466
01:02:06,918 --> 01:02:08,824
Over the road and into the bar.

1467
01:02:10,337 --> 01:02:12,913
An election unlike
anything we've ever seen,

1468
01:02:12,924 --> 01:02:15,051
followed by a speech for the ages...

1469
01:02:15,051 --> 01:02:17,929
The legal process is gonna be lengthy.

1470
01:02:18,016 --> 01:02:19,639
When do you think it'll all be over?

1471
01:02:19,639 --> 01:02:21,996
This... this could be going
on for the next three months.

1472
01:02:22,007 --> 01:02:23,132
- Hey, Tom?
- Uh-huh.

1473
01:02:23,143 --> 01:02:25,645
Your phone. It's,
uh... it's red-hot, Tom.

1474
01:02:25,645 --> 01:02:28,322
It, uh... A lot of very
important people are...

1475
01:02:28,940 --> 01:02:31,234
A lot of very important
people wanna scream at you.

1476
01:02:31,234 --> 01:02:32,819
But allegedly, allegedly...

1477
01:02:32,819 --> 01:02:36,617
- This is a little pointed.
- The call was made personally by ATN boss

1478
01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:38,028
- Tom Wambsgans.
- Um...

1479
01:02:38,228 --> 01:02:40,765
Darwin wants to know
when to do his caveats.

1480
01:02:40,776 --> 01:02:41,786
Is there time for him to do...

1481
01:02:41,786 --> 01:02:43,079
- No.
- No.

1482
01:02:43,079 --> 01:02:44,255
he was given by his decision desk.

1483
01:02:44,266 --> 01:02:47,250
So it's unclear whether
Wambsgans's alleged action

1484
01:02:47,250 --> 01:02:49,961
- was an error of judgment, or there was a personal...
- Hello? No.

1485
01:02:49,961 --> 01:02:52,704
or political
dimension to the decision.

1486
01:02:52,715 --> 01:02:55,967
He is, of course, known to be
an associate of Jeryd Mencken.

1487
01:02:55,967 --> 01:02:58,789
Jesus fucking Christ. What's going on?

1488
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,431
Those funky numbers?
I'm sending you words, yeah?

1489
01:03:01,431 --> 01:03:03,183
Let's get 'em out in the next 24.

1490
01:03:03,183 --> 01:03:06,353
- Lot of fucking news.
- You guys are crazy.

1491
01:03:06,353 --> 01:03:08,688
Yeah, it's more than
just fucking crazy, Lukas.

1492
01:03:08,699 --> 01:03:11,680
No, but this is crazy.

1493
01:03:11,691 --> 01:03:13,360
Yeah, well, we're gonna
do a number on 'em.

1494
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,310
We're gonna fuck them so hard.
We're gonna fix this, yeah?

1495
01:03:17,212 --> 01:03:18,229
Fuck.

1496
01:03:21,249 --> 01:03:23,418
Can I come see the kids?

1497
01:03:23,429 --> 01:03:25,389
- They're asleep, Ken.
- Just... I know.

1498
01:03:25,455 --> 01:03:27,901
Yeah. Well, I can...
I can wait up for them.

1499
01:03:27,912 --> 01:03:29,417
I should be asleep,

1500
01:03:29,417 --> 01:03:31,294
but I... I can't.

1501
01:03:31,294 --> 01:03:33,421
Okay. I'll... I'll...
I'll see you tomorrow.

1502
01:03:33,421 --> 01:03:35,257
I'll see you at the funeral, okay?
