1
00:00:10,404 --> 00:00:12,649
Get the hell out of my house!

2
00:00:12,673 --> 00:00:14,751
- What?
- Son of a bitch,

3
00:00:14,775 --> 00:00:16,687
- get out of here! Get!
- No, no, no! It's Project Falanx.

4
00:00:16,711 --> 00:00:18,689
- I'm trying to save you.
- I will bash your skull in. I swear to God,

5
00:00:18,713 --> 00:00:19,756
I will tee off on your head!

6
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:21,058
If the delta waves hit 13 hertz,

7
00:00:21,082 --> 00:00:23,193
- then there's no going back.
- You tell the cops.

8
00:00:23,217 --> 00:00:24,494
They're gonna be here
any minute. They'd love to...

9
00:00:24,518 --> 00:00:26,029
What is...? No. What is that?

10
00:00:26,053 --> 00:00:27,130
No. No. No, no, no.

11
00:00:27,154 --> 00:00:28,632
No, no!

12
00:00:28,656 --> 00:00:30,968
I'm sorry.

13
00:00:30,992 --> 00:00:33,036
I'm sorry. It's the only way.

14
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:35,105
Get off me, you lunatic!
You got to slow the deltas.

15
00:00:35,129 --> 00:00:36,273
I'm trying to save your life.

16
00:00:36,297 --> 00:00:37,574
- You got to slow the deltas.
- I'm gonna

17
00:00:37,598 --> 00:00:38,876
- scratch your eyes out!
- You got to slow the deltas down.

18
00:00:38,900 --> 00:00:40,644
Come on!

19
00:00:40,668 --> 00:00:43,780
The kid was some
community college dropout.

20
00:00:43,804 --> 00:00:46,450
No record except for
some parking tickets.

21
00:00:46,474 --> 00:00:47,530
So, he broke in.

22
00:00:47,531 --> 00:00:49,242
He didn't take anything.
He wasn't armed.

23
00:00:49,266 --> 00:00:50,309
Except for the Taser.

24
00:00:50,333 --> 00:00:51,410
What was he trying to do?

25
00:00:51,434 --> 00:00:52,678
Well, the FBI will debrief us

26
00:00:52,702 --> 00:00:54,213
on his motives.
Mike says he kept trying

27
00:00:54,237 --> 00:00:55,948
to put a towel around his head.

28
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:59,018
- Something about delta waves.
- Oh, boy.

29
00:00:59,042 --> 00:01:00,319
Hanson's Iran investigation

30
00:01:00,343 --> 00:01:02,555
is undermining public trust
in this administration

31
00:01:02,579 --> 00:01:06,158
and stirring up paranoid crazies
with conspiracy theories.

32
00:01:06,182 --> 00:01:08,227
It might be time
to put security details

33
00:01:08,251 --> 00:01:09,495
- on your staff.
- Yeah.

34
00:01:09,519 --> 00:01:11,230
I'm already into it,
much as I'm not thrilled

35
00:01:11,254 --> 00:01:12,532
about being followed around.

36
00:01:12,556 --> 00:01:14,200
But Mike's okay?

37
00:01:14,224 --> 00:01:16,035
Yeah, he's lucky.

38
00:01:16,059 --> 00:01:18,037
Just a sprained wrist from the fall.

39
00:01:18,061 --> 00:01:19,305
In considerably better news,

40
00:01:19,329 --> 00:01:21,574
the Senate Intelligence
Committee is postponing

41
00:01:21,598 --> 00:01:22,742
Henry and Stevie's interviews.

42
00:01:22,766 --> 00:01:25,811
So, is Hanson backing down?

43
00:01:25,835 --> 00:01:27,446
Yeah, for now.

44
00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:29,115
Daisy's resignation took some heat off

45
00:01:29,139 --> 00:01:30,483
the Iran investigation.

46
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:31,817
Crappy bargain.

47
00:01:31,841 --> 00:01:34,053
Well, this isn't over by any means,

48
00:01:34,077 --> 00:01:35,488
but we do have some breathing room.

49
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:38,691
We can nominate Rachel Ballard
to the Federal Trade Commission.

50
00:01:38,715 --> 00:01:40,282
She's qualified.

51
00:01:40,283 --> 00:01:41,827
So is Jeff Hemmings.

52
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:43,362
And he has the benefit
of being moderate.

53
00:01:43,386 --> 00:01:45,798
Rachel Ballard is one of
the most respected academics

54
00:01:45,822 --> 00:01:47,133
on the planet.

55
00:01:47,157 --> 00:01:49,869
She wants to regulate
the economy into the ground.

56
00:01:49,893 --> 00:01:52,738
She sees antitrust violations
lurking behind every IPO.

57
00:01:52,762 --> 00:01:55,074
She wants to limit
corporate consolidation.

58
00:01:55,098 --> 00:01:57,109
I mean, come on,
your party is all about

59
00:01:57,133 --> 00:02:00,313
growth and fostering
healthy competition.

60
00:02:00,337 --> 00:02:02,582
Do you think we can get her confirmed?

61
00:02:02,606 --> 00:02:04,408
I think Hemmings is an easier win.

62
00:02:04,409 --> 00:02:06,155
And wins are what we need.

63
00:02:06,179 --> 00:02:08,262
Because the new free trade
agreement with South Korea

64
00:02:08,263 --> 00:02:09,957
doesn't count?

65
00:02:09,981 --> 00:02:11,492
Well, not to diminish
your achievement,

66
00:02:11,516 --> 00:02:13,392
but it's the same deal we had before.

67
00:02:13,393 --> 00:02:15,895
Huge state visit with
the South Korean president.

68
00:02:15,896 --> 00:02:17,906
Live performance at the White House

69
00:02:17,907 --> 00:02:19,919
by his wife, the K-pop star.

70
00:02:19,943 --> 00:02:22,188
But to Russell, just
another deal signing.

71
00:02:22,212 --> 00:02:24,590
I'm sure the state visit
will be very impressive.

72
00:02:24,614 --> 00:02:26,503
And now he's trying to walk it back.

73
00:02:26,504 --> 00:02:28,994
I'm swamped with asylum applications.

74
00:02:29,018 --> 00:02:31,063
I am really sorry, again,
about tonight.

75
00:02:31,087 --> 00:02:32,998
Will you stop apologizing? It's fine.

76
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:34,600
You're saving the world.

77
00:02:34,624 --> 00:02:37,269
I really wanted to try
that new place with you.

78
00:02:37,293 --> 00:02:40,105
Now I am stuck here

79
00:02:40,129 --> 00:02:45,077
with licorice and... chips. Mm.

80
00:02:45,101 --> 00:02:46,645
Well, you might want
to hold off on that.

81
00:02:46,669 --> 00:02:48,380
Why?

82
00:02:48,404 --> 00:02:50,850
Turn around.

83
00:02:50,874 --> 00:02:53,919
What?! Oh, my God, that's crazy.

84
00:02:53,943 --> 00:02:56,455
I hope you're cool
with falafel and hummus.

85
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,557
Griffin, oh, my God.
I can't believe you did this.

86
00:02:58,581 --> 00:03:00,793
Oh, please. Licorice and chips.

87
00:03:00,817 --> 00:03:02,862
That's like dinner
from the gas station.

88
00:03:02,886 --> 00:03:04,930
Yeah, they probably have better
food at the detention center.

89
00:03:04,954 --> 00:03:06,866
Oh, my God.

90
00:03:06,890 --> 00:03:08,834
No, no, no.

91
00:03:08,858 --> 00:03:10,302
No shame spiral. Look. Here.

92
00:03:10,326 --> 00:03:11,503
Hmm?

93
00:03:11,527 --> 00:03:13,906
Oh... baklava?

94
00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:15,774
Is honey vegan?

95
00:03:15,798 --> 00:03:18,177
- It is today.
- Oh, it is?

96
00:03:18,201 --> 00:03:19,411
Thank you.

97
00:03:19,435 --> 00:03:22,248
Satan worshippers in Washington
want you to think

98
00:03:22,272 --> 00:03:25,584
5G cell service
is all about faster phones

99
00:03:25,608 --> 00:03:26,619
and faster Internet.

100
00:03:26,643 --> 00:03:28,053
But my Shawn-bots out there know

101
00:03:28,077 --> 00:03:32,057
what 5G really is:
government-funded mind control.

102
00:03:32,081 --> 00:03:33,359
It's all part of a secret program

103
00:03:33,383 --> 00:03:34,693
called Project Falanx.

104
00:03:34,717 --> 00:03:35,694
Here's how it works.

105
00:03:35,718 --> 00:03:38,063
Every new 5G cell phone tower

106
00:03:38,087 --> 00:03:40,299
planned to go up across all 50 states

107
00:03:40,323 --> 00:03:41,734
will be digging into the delta waves

108
00:03:41,758 --> 00:03:45,604
emitted by your brain
to increase their frequency.

109
00:03:45,628 --> 00:03:48,974
Once you get up to
13 gigahertz... done.

110
00:03:48,998 --> 00:03:51,543
Under their control.
How do we know this?

111
00:03:51,567 --> 00:03:54,146
South Korea's number one test subject:

112
00:03:54,170 --> 00:03:57,549
White House senior advisor
Mike Barnow.

113
00:03:57,573 --> 00:04:00,185
Barnow exhibits all the classic signs

114
00:04:00,209 --> 00:04:01,587
of 5G brain poisoning.

115
00:04:01,611 --> 00:04:04,356
The bulgy eyes,
the slightly dazed affect.

116
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:06,992
It's called chronic insomnia,
you numbskull.

117
00:04:07,016 --> 00:04:09,795
How do you protect yourself
and your loved ones from danger?

118
00:04:09,819 --> 00:04:13,472
Simple. The patented Shawn Olson
neutralizing wrap.

119
00:04:17,193 --> 00:04:19,405
That's exactly what the maniac
who tased me was trying to use.

120
00:04:19,429 --> 00:04:21,006
Wait.

121
00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:23,208
So he was trying to protect you

122
00:04:23,232 --> 00:04:26,478
from cell phone signals...

123
00:04:26,502 --> 00:04:27,613
with a towel?

124
00:04:27,637 --> 00:04:29,915
Mike's assailant was convinced

125
00:04:29,939 --> 00:04:32,918
that he was saving America from
a brainwashed sleeper agent.

126
00:04:32,942 --> 00:04:34,453
A little flattered, actually.

127
00:04:34,477 --> 00:04:35,788
Olson got the idea
of a protective wrap

128
00:04:35,812 --> 00:04:37,289
from a science fiction film.

129
00:04:37,313 --> 00:04:39,224
Total Recall.

130
00:04:39,248 --> 00:04:40,859
Seriously?

131
00:04:40,883 --> 00:04:42,995
Like most conspiracy theories,

132
00:04:43,019 --> 00:04:44,229
Olson starts with something real.

133
00:04:44,253 --> 00:04:45,798
In this case, the new
5G infrastructure

134
00:04:45,822 --> 00:04:47,132
funded by the ESI bill.

135
00:04:47,156 --> 00:04:49,935
Throw in South Korea's
consultation on the new tech

136
00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:52,571
as part of the new
free trade agreement...

137
00:04:52,595 --> 00:04:54,306
Jazz it up with some
Schwarzenegger references,

138
00:04:54,330 --> 00:04:56,141
and you get nine million views.

139
00:04:56,165 --> 00:04:58,644
It's the cat video
of conspiracy theories.

140
00:04:58,668 --> 00:05:01,180
Well, this obviously
influenced Mike's assailant,

141
00:05:01,204 --> 00:05:02,948
so we can shut it down, right?

142
00:05:02,972 --> 00:05:06,352
Olson is crafty about
avoiding legal liability.

143
00:05:06,376 --> 00:05:09,154
He never advocates
for specific crimes.

144
00:05:09,178 --> 00:05:11,123
He never publishes his own falsehoods.

145
00:05:11,147 --> 00:05:13,258
He only shares theories
from anonymous users.

146
00:05:13,282 --> 00:05:15,527
- What are our options?
- Monitor his videos closely.

147
00:05:15,551 --> 00:05:18,263
Look out for anything we can
claim is a direct threat.

148
00:05:18,287 --> 00:05:19,698
Other than that,
unfortunately, nothing.

149
00:05:19,722 --> 00:05:21,873
Wow.

150
00:05:23,092 --> 00:05:24,536
Finally got the "all clear"
on your itinerary

151
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,738
with the South Korean first lady.

152
00:05:25,762 --> 00:05:27,539
Well, that came in under the wire.

153
00:05:27,563 --> 00:05:28,574
There was a lot of back and forth.

154
00:05:28,598 --> 00:05:31,810
Ms. Kwon's tastes are,
let's say, kitschy.

155
00:05:31,834 --> 00:05:33,846
Breakfast at International
House of Pancakes.

156
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:34,880
What's wrong with that?

157
00:05:34,904 --> 00:05:37,383
You'll go on a shopping spree
right after.

158
00:05:37,407 --> 00:05:39,451
Country music karaoke.

159
00:05:39,475 --> 00:05:41,520
- Oh, boy.
- Tomorrow she wants to see

160
00:05:41,544 --> 00:05:43,088
an MLB game.

161
00:05:43,112 --> 00:05:45,424
Is President Choi joining us
for any of this?

162
00:05:45,448 --> 00:05:47,726
He has his own itinerary with POTUS.

163
00:05:47,750 --> 00:05:49,395
"An Evening With Rachmaninoff"?

164
00:05:49,419 --> 00:05:52,097
The Baltimore Vocal Arts Society
is doing a performance of

165
00:05:52,121 --> 00:05:54,800
Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom
and All-Night Vigil

166
00:05:54,824 --> 00:05:56,201
at the Kennedy Center.

167
00:05:56,225 --> 00:05:59,071
Okay, but it's not
literally all-night...

168
00:05:59,095 --> 00:06:01,006
- Well...
- ...vigil?

169
00:06:01,030 --> 00:06:03,032
I'm kidding. Kidding,
you'll be done by 9:00 p.m.

170
00:06:03,056 --> 00:06:03,978
Okay.

171
00:06:03,979 --> 00:06:06,378
The following morning is
the illuminated manuscript

172
00:06:06,402 --> 00:06:07,880
- exhibit at the Freer Gallery.
- Yes. Good.

173
00:06:07,904 --> 00:06:09,114
And then you ha...

174
00:06:10,573 --> 00:06:13,352
You get to eat
pancakes and drive go-karts?

175
00:06:13,376 --> 00:06:15,120
Trust me, I would much rather
be looking at

176
00:06:15,144 --> 00:06:16,555
the illuminated manuscripts.

177
00:06:16,579 --> 00:06:18,490
They have half a dozen
thousand-year-old

178
00:06:18,514 --> 00:06:20,492
Buddhist texts from the Goryeo period.

179
00:06:20,516 --> 00:06:22,694
- It's an incredible acquisition.
- You are my favorite nerd.

180
00:06:22,718 --> 00:06:24,196
Do you know that?

181
00:06:24,220 --> 00:06:27,299
- Mr. President, Ms. Kwon.
- Hello.

182
00:06:27,323 --> 00:06:29,034
Welcome to the United States.

183
00:06:29,058 --> 00:06:30,969
It's a pleasure to finally
meet you, Madam President.

184
00:06:30,993 --> 00:06:32,371
And you, Mr. President.

185
00:06:32,395 --> 00:06:34,635
May I present First Gentleman
Henry McCord.

186
00:06:34,636 --> 00:06:35,941
So nice to meet you.

187
00:06:35,965 --> 00:06:37,376
Hello.

188
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,579
You have... quite the fan club.

189
00:06:40,603 --> 00:06:42,147
Those are for my wife.

190
00:06:42,171 --> 00:06:44,049
I'm sure they're here
for Sung-hoon, too.

191
00:06:46,442 --> 00:06:48,921
She likes to pretend
I'm as popular as she is.

192
00:06:48,945 --> 00:06:50,923
I look forward to our visit, Ms. Kwon.

193
00:06:50,947 --> 00:06:52,024
Min-hee, please.

194
00:06:52,048 --> 00:06:53,892
Your chief of staff was so helpful.

195
00:06:53,916 --> 00:06:55,527
There's only one thing
he couldn't arrange.

196
00:06:55,551 --> 00:06:57,229
A meeting with Beyoncé.

197
00:06:57,253 --> 00:07:00,432
The power of the presidency
only extends so far.

198
00:07:00,456 --> 00:07:01,900
Shall we?

199
00:07:05,528 --> 00:07:07,239
This is delicious.

200
00:07:07,263 --> 00:07:09,274
Barley tea.

201
00:07:09,298 --> 00:07:11,210
You can find it in any
Korean grocery store.

202
00:07:11,234 --> 00:07:12,744
But it's always been my favorite.

203
00:07:12,768 --> 00:07:14,780
Well, it's good to keep
some of the pleasures of home

204
00:07:14,804 --> 00:07:15,948
once you move into office.

205
00:07:15,972 --> 00:07:18,617
Yeah, we-we brought
our old popcorn maker.

206
00:07:18,641 --> 00:07:20,185
I love popcorn.

207
00:07:20,209 --> 00:07:22,254
Well, we will definitely
make you some.

208
00:07:22,278 --> 00:07:23,522
Sorry to interrupt, ma'am,

209
00:07:23,546 --> 00:07:26,258
but, uh, I'm afraid
there's an urgent matter.

210
00:07:26,282 --> 00:07:28,560
If you'll excuse me for a moment.

211
00:07:28,584 --> 00:07:29,968
He always does that.

212
00:07:36,392 --> 00:07:39,037
Please excuse me.

213
00:07:39,061 --> 00:07:41,240
- What is it?
- Madam President,

214
00:07:41,264 --> 00:07:43,609
Shawn Olson just posted a video
showing a private conversation

215
00:07:43,633 --> 00:07:44,943
between you and Dr. McCord.

216
00:07:44,967 --> 00:07:47,179
- How?
- He claims it came

217
00:07:47,203 --> 00:07:49,047
from a contact in the Secret Service.

218
00:07:49,071 --> 00:07:51,850
Now it's blowing up on
YoureVid and social media.

219
00:07:51,874 --> 00:07:53,952
It's amazing what Choi let us

220
00:07:53,976 --> 00:07:57,289
get away with in the trade talks.

221
00:07:57,313 --> 00:07:59,758
Is he naive or just dumb?

222
00:07:59,782 --> 00:08:02,728
Maybe both. But it's not
like we didn't take a hit.

223
00:08:02,752 --> 00:08:06,565
This deal is gonna cost
thousands of American jobs.

224
00:08:06,589 --> 00:08:09,201
Well, hey, we gotta give up something

225
00:08:09,225 --> 00:08:11,336
if we want Korean 5G.

226
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,806
You can't make an omelet
without breaking some eggs.

227
00:08:14,830 --> 00:08:15,941
Oh, my God.

228
00:08:15,965 --> 00:08:18,577
I'll draft an apology
to President Choi,

229
00:08:18,601 --> 00:08:21,079
- but I think if we attack this from...
- Angela.

230
00:08:21,103 --> 00:08:23,148
That video is fake.

231
00:08:23,172 --> 00:08:24,950
Henry and I never said any of that.

232
00:08:24,974 --> 00:08:27,853
It... it never happened.

233
00:08:27,877 --> 00:08:31,256
With all due respect,
does he know that?

234
00:08:36,652 --> 00:08:42,954
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.

235
00:08:48,337 --> 00:08:50,031
The video you saw, President Choi,

236
00:08:50,032 --> 00:08:51,977
was what we call a "deepfake."

237
00:08:51,978 --> 00:08:54,957
A seemingly real video
created with deep-learning

238
00:08:54,958 --> 00:08:56,102
artificial intelligence.

239
00:08:56,126 --> 00:08:58,050
So the bedroom you see here

240
00:08:58,051 --> 00:09:00,296
isn't any bedroom in the White House.

241
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,466
And if I zoom in, you can clearly see

242
00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:06,169
the digital manipulation
on President McCord's face.

243
00:09:06,193 --> 00:09:08,137
Deepfake technology can
place a real person's face

244
00:09:08,161 --> 00:09:09,973
over any stand-in,

245
00:09:09,997 --> 00:09:13,109
matching lip and facial
movements automatically.

246
00:09:13,133 --> 00:09:15,812
The people you see
in that video are actors.

247
00:09:15,836 --> 00:09:18,420
That's why they distorted
the audio and used subtitles

248
00:09:18,444 --> 00:09:20,288
to mask any vocal discrepancies.

249
00:09:20,312 --> 00:09:22,591
The question, of course, is:
Who would go to the trouble

250
00:09:22,615 --> 00:09:23,825
of making such a video?

251
00:09:23,849 --> 00:09:26,494
Someone wanting to disrupt relations

252
00:09:26,518 --> 00:09:27,762
between our two countries.

253
00:09:27,786 --> 00:09:29,965
Particularly our new trade agreement.

254
00:09:29,989 --> 00:09:31,766
This video was posted anonymously

255
00:09:31,790 --> 00:09:35,537
to a message board, which was
then picked up by Shawn Olson.

256
00:09:35,561 --> 00:09:39,407
So we may never be able
to trace the source.

257
00:09:39,431 --> 00:09:41,209
Of course, you understand,

258
00:09:41,233 --> 00:09:44,813
Mr. President, Henry and I
would never speak about you

259
00:09:44,837 --> 00:09:47,282
or your country with such disrespect.

260
00:09:47,306 --> 00:09:50,151
Yet three million viewers on
YoureVid believe you would.

261
00:09:50,175 --> 00:09:51,786
We've already put out a statement

262
00:09:51,810 --> 00:09:53,288
debunking the video.

263
00:09:53,312 --> 00:09:55,490
Every legitimate news outlet
in the world has taken it down.

264
00:09:55,514 --> 00:09:57,258
But as we all know,
illegitimate outlets

265
00:09:57,282 --> 00:09:59,260
can still shape public opinion.

266
00:09:59,284 --> 00:10:02,697
This video has already created
a great deal of animosity

267
00:10:02,721 --> 00:10:05,333
in my country toward
the United States.

268
00:10:05,357 --> 00:10:08,303
My advisors feel it's
best we take some time

269
00:10:08,327 --> 00:10:10,411
before moving forward
with the trade agreement.

270
00:10:12,264 --> 00:10:15,844
Mr. President, I think that if
you and I responded together,

271
00:10:15,868 --> 00:10:18,079
we could show your people

272
00:10:18,103 --> 00:10:21,182
that our long and historic partnership

273
00:10:21,206 --> 00:10:24,786
can't be disrupted
by one crude attack.

274
00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:26,488
It would be a great way to undercut

275
00:10:26,512 --> 00:10:28,523
- whatever power these things have.
- Yes.

276
00:10:28,547 --> 00:10:30,615
We'll remain for the state dinner,

277
00:10:30,616 --> 00:10:31,905
but I'm afraid we must postpone

278
00:10:31,906 --> 00:10:34,618
any further talks of
the trade agreement.

279
00:10:34,642 --> 00:10:37,721
Madam President, I hope to see
those illuminated manuscripts

280
00:10:37,745 --> 00:10:39,156
with you another time.

281
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:41,131
Of course.

282
00:10:42,450 --> 00:10:44,762
The entire infrastructure bill

283
00:10:44,786 --> 00:10:48,732
was sold with South Korea's
cooperation on 5G.

284
00:10:48,756 --> 00:10:50,634
If we don't get
that deal back in place,

285
00:10:50,658 --> 00:10:51,769
the whole upgrade falls apart.

286
00:10:51,793 --> 00:10:53,003
Let's not go full Eeyore.

287
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:54,872
South Korea's not the
only tech game in town.

288
00:10:54,896 --> 00:10:56,340
Yeah, well, only the best.

289
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,243
So, how can one fake video take
down the entire trade deal?

290
00:10:59,267 --> 00:11:01,178
Well, it doesn't help
that the damn thing

291
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:03,180
is still pinging around social media.

292
00:11:03,204 --> 00:11:06,784
Okay, look, let's release
a shorter version

293
00:11:06,808 --> 00:11:09,219
of the presentation
we just showed President Choi.

294
00:11:09,243 --> 00:11:11,422
We'll turn this into
a teachable moment

295
00:11:11,446 --> 00:11:13,690
so people can learn
to recognize these fakes.

296
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:14,691
And why?

297
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:16,427
I mean, for God's sakes,

298
00:11:16,451 --> 00:11:18,328
can we get the video off of YoureVid?

299
00:11:18,352 --> 00:11:20,063
Look, we tried. They said deepfakes

300
00:11:20,087 --> 00:11:21,632
do not violate their terms of service.

301
00:11:21,656 --> 00:11:24,134
Oh... Call Chelsea Weldon.

302
00:11:24,158 --> 00:11:27,304
I had a long talk with her
and some of the tech CEOs

303
00:11:27,328 --> 00:11:29,973
on the campaign trail
about misinformation.

304
00:11:29,997 --> 00:11:32,075
She said she wanted to take action.

305
00:11:32,099 --> 00:11:33,076
Now's her chance.

306
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:34,077
Dr. McCord.

307
00:11:34,101 --> 00:11:35,145
Oh, hey, Evan.

308
00:11:35,169 --> 00:11:36,914
I-I know, karaoke's canceled.

309
00:11:36,938 --> 00:11:38,849
Uh, actually, the car
will be here in ten.

310
00:11:38,873 --> 00:11:41,118
And it's IHOP, shopping,
and then karaoke.

311
00:11:41,142 --> 00:11:42,619
Ms. Kwon is not one to miss a party.

312
00:11:42,643 --> 00:11:45,222
Apparently, I'm off to eat pancakes.

313
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:46,490
Bye.

314
00:11:46,514 --> 00:11:48,298
Hang in there.

315
00:11:51,819 --> 00:11:52,963
Hello?

316
00:11:52,987 --> 00:11:54,131
Stevie.

317
00:11:54,155 --> 00:11:55,999
- Uh, it's Dmitri. Petrov.
- Oh.

318
00:11:56,023 --> 00:11:59,169
Hi. Um, I-I couldn't tell
who was calling.

319
00:11:59,193 --> 00:12:01,138
I know. Uh, I'm still
using encryption.

320
00:12:01,162 --> 00:12:02,673
Uh, it's an old habit.

321
00:12:02,697 --> 00:12:04,508
- How are you?
- Good.

322
00:12:04,532 --> 00:12:06,210
Um, swamped at the moment.

323
00:12:06,234 --> 00:12:08,212
Oh. Uh, sorry to bother you.

324
00:12:08,236 --> 00:12:09,680
I would have sent an e-mail, but, uh,

325
00:12:09,704 --> 00:12:10,981
Talia made me promise to call you

326
00:12:11,005 --> 00:12:12,716
with my... my human voice.

327
00:12:12,740 --> 00:12:15,085
Well, at least she's working
directly through you this time.

328
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:16,253
Yes. Anyway,

329
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:18,589
I'm meeting a few people at this bar

330
00:12:18,613 --> 00:12:21,525
near Union Station tonight
to say goodbye to DC.

331
00:12:21,549 --> 00:12:24,328
- Wait. Uh, you're leaving?
- Yes.

332
00:12:24,352 --> 00:12:25,502
For Guyana.

333
00:12:26,387 --> 00:12:27,431
Anyway,

334
00:12:27,455 --> 00:12:29,266
we're meeting around 9:00,

335
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:31,034
and I thought,
if you wanted to stop by...

336
00:12:31,058 --> 00:12:33,003
You're welcome to bring someone.

337
00:12:33,027 --> 00:12:35,772
That's, uh... that's so nice of you.

338
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:38,876
Um, yeah, I've kind of been pulling

339
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:41,178
these crazy late nights
at work recently, so...

340
00:12:41,202 --> 00:12:42,946
But, uh, yeah,
if I... if I can get away,

341
00:12:42,970 --> 00:12:44,982
I-I definitely...

342
00:12:45,006 --> 00:12:46,884
I will. I will come raise a glass.

343
00:12:46,908 --> 00:12:48,385
Okay.

344
00:12:48,409 --> 00:12:49,786
I'll-I'll, uh, text you the name.

345
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:50,888
Great.

346
00:12:50,912 --> 00:12:53,257
Please thank Talia for the phone call.

347
00:12:53,281 --> 00:12:55,559
Um, it is nice to hear
your human voice.

348
00:12:55,583 --> 00:12:56,560
You, too.

349
00:12:56,584 --> 00:12:57,761
Maybe see you later.

350
00:12:57,785 --> 00:13:00,330
That's the plan... sort of. Bye.

351
00:13:02,857 --> 00:13:04,535
My daughter is working

352
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:05,869
in a fashion house in Milan.

353
00:13:05,893 --> 00:13:08,372
She's usually the shopper
in the family.

354
00:13:08,396 --> 00:13:10,274
I was developing a clothing
and wellness brand

355
00:13:10,298 --> 00:13:11,775
for the digital space.

356
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:13,443
But then I got married.

357
00:13:13,467 --> 00:13:15,646
Was there a conflict of interest?

358
00:13:15,670 --> 00:13:18,115
Korean anti-corruption
practices are very strict.

359
00:13:18,139 --> 00:13:19,950
I had to sell everything.

360
00:13:19,974 --> 00:13:21,752
The things we do for love.

361
00:13:21,776 --> 00:13:23,420
Policy is so much more interesting

362
00:13:23,444 --> 00:13:24,755
than fashion anyway.

363
00:13:24,779 --> 00:13:27,591
I'm not sure my daughter
would agree with you on that.

364
00:13:27,615 --> 00:13:30,193
But they're so intertwined.

365
00:13:30,217 --> 00:13:31,762
Take cosmetics.

366
00:13:31,786 --> 00:13:33,096
In our previous trade agreement,

367
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,565
the U.S. and South Korea

368
00:13:34,589 --> 00:13:37,701
placed a mutual tariff
of 7.9% on skin care.

369
00:13:37,725 --> 00:13:40,237
Then K-Beauty exploded overseas,

370
00:13:40,261 --> 00:13:41,905
but the tariffs were holding us back

371
00:13:41,929 --> 00:13:44,207
in the U.S. market, so
now the new agreement

372
00:13:44,231 --> 00:13:46,143
includes a provision
for both our nations to reduce

373
00:13:46,167 --> 00:13:47,611
all cosmetics duties

374
00:13:47,635 --> 00:13:48,979
by two percentage points annually.

375
00:13:49,003 --> 00:13:51,348
It's just numbers on a page,

376
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:55,218
but it's how powerful men
decide what those girls

377
00:13:55,242 --> 00:13:56,720
get to wear.

378
00:13:56,744 --> 00:13:58,855
Sounds like you had
a hand in that, too.

379
00:14:00,047 --> 00:14:02,593
My husband appreciates my perspective.

380
00:14:02,617 --> 00:14:05,362
It's a shame that the trade
agreement has to be put on hold.

381
00:14:05,386 --> 00:14:07,030
On this matter, I have...

382
00:14:07,054 --> 00:14:08,832
no influence.

383
00:14:08,856 --> 00:14:11,902
Like you with Beyoncé.

384
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:18,709
YoureVid shares the president's
concerns about fake news.

385
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:20,844
It was a top item
at our retreat this year.

386
00:14:20,868 --> 00:14:23,480
Well, here's an idea:
take down some fake news.

387
00:14:23,504 --> 00:14:25,716
It's more complicated than that.

388
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:27,384
Is it? You guys tear

389
00:14:27,408 --> 00:14:29,286
into licensed content
like dogs on a ham hock.

390
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:32,521
We have guidance from the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act

391
00:14:32,522 --> 00:14:34,500
to enforce copyright issues.

392
00:14:34,524 --> 00:14:36,936
We have no such guidance on deepfakes.

393
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,537
Sure, you do. From me.

394
00:14:38,561 --> 00:14:40,239
Take down the video.

395
00:14:40,263 --> 00:14:41,874
I appreciate your sense of urgency,

396
00:14:41,898 --> 00:14:45,311
but you have to understand
I am the steward

397
00:14:45,335 --> 00:14:47,847
of a massive system of representation

398
00:14:47,871 --> 00:14:50,950
where every decision holds
ramifications for the future

399
00:14:50,974 --> 00:14:53,485
of all expression online.

400
00:14:53,509 --> 00:14:56,488
Some deepfakes are social
commentary, others satire.

401
00:14:56,512 --> 00:14:58,724
We can't make blanket policy here.

402
00:14:58,748 --> 00:15:00,492
Yet somehow you manage to monitor

403
00:15:00,516 --> 00:15:01,827
pornography and explicit violence.

404
00:15:01,851 --> 00:15:03,863
Through user reporting
and retro review.

405
00:15:03,887 --> 00:15:05,865
Well, why can't you do the same here?

406
00:15:05,889 --> 00:15:09,068
Because we are a platform,
not a publisher.

407
00:15:09,092 --> 00:15:13,372
300 hours of video is uploaded
to our site every minute.

408
00:15:13,396 --> 00:15:16,575
Hiring human moderators to ascertain

409
00:15:16,599 --> 00:15:19,078
whether videos are real or fake
isn't scalable.

410
00:15:19,102 --> 00:15:22,781
Ms. Weldon, deepfakes like the one

411
00:15:22,805 --> 00:15:26,585
millions of people
are watching right now

412
00:15:26,609 --> 00:15:31,156
threaten to undermine our whole
concept of objective reality.

413
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:35,160
Do you understand what that's
gonna do to our democracy?

414
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:36,619
I don't know if you heard,

415
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:38,799
but a fan of Shawn Olson's
broke into my house

416
00:15:38,823 --> 00:15:41,201
and shot 50,000 volts
of electricity into me.

417
00:15:41,225 --> 00:15:44,171
That wouldn't have happened
without your platform.

418
00:15:44,195 --> 00:15:47,174
And that is horrible,

419
00:15:47,198 --> 00:15:51,712
but it's the risk we've always
taken with free speech.

420
00:15:51,736 --> 00:15:55,148
It's why our policy is the same
as our Founding Fathers':

421
00:15:55,172 --> 00:15:57,484
let the people think for themselves

422
00:15:57,508 --> 00:16:00,454
and trust that good speech
will fight bad speech.

423
00:16:00,478 --> 00:16:02,622
Our Founding Fathers had no idea

424
00:16:02,646 --> 00:16:04,797
there'd be so many idiots.

425
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,898
- Hey. You made it.
- Hi. Yeah.

426
00:16:11,922 --> 00:16:14,311
Uh, I was able to get away.

427
00:16:14,312 --> 00:16:15,489
- No security?
- No.

428
00:16:15,513 --> 00:16:16,724
I asked them to wait outside.

429
00:16:16,748 --> 00:16:17,792
Hey, Talia.

430
00:16:17,816 --> 00:16:19,266
- Good to see you.
- You, too.

431
00:16:19,619 --> 00:16:21,204
_

432
00:16:21,820 --> 00:16:22,997
Uh, I think you know my friends

433
00:16:23,021 --> 00:16:24,031
from the Agency, Molly and Dylan.

434
00:16:24,055 --> 00:16:25,533
Oh. What...? Hi.

435
00:16:25,557 --> 00:16:27,535
Yes. You worked with my father. Wow.

436
00:16:27,559 --> 00:16:28,669
How's he liking the big house?

437
00:16:28,693 --> 00:16:30,304
You can be honest.

438
00:16:30,328 --> 00:16:32,073
He misses us, right?

439
00:16:32,097 --> 00:16:34,709
His new job is definitely
different from intelligence.

440
00:16:34,733 --> 00:16:36,644
For example, today his duties

441
00:16:36,668 --> 00:16:40,047
included shopping with a K-pop star.

442
00:16:40,071 --> 00:16:42,349
What is K-pop?

443
00:16:42,373 --> 00:16:44,552
It's this whole genre of
pop music from South Korea.

444
00:16:44,576 --> 00:16:46,420
What?

445
00:16:46,444 --> 00:16:47,755
I contain multitudes.

446
00:16:47,779 --> 00:16:49,924
Actually, you know, you really need

447
00:16:49,948 --> 00:16:52,660
to see the first lady of
South Korea. She's, like...

448
00:16:52,684 --> 00:16:54,395
- I mean, she's this huge star.
- Amazing.

449
00:16:54,419 --> 00:16:56,263
Do you mind if I...? Oh. No, no, no.

450
00:16:56,287 --> 00:16:57,732
I want to see.

451
00:16:57,756 --> 00:17:00,434
Play: ? Bye-bye, boy... ?

452
00:17:00,458 --> 00:17:01,435
Excellent choice.

453
00:17:01,459 --> 00:17:02,459
That's the one.

454
00:17:03,762 --> 00:17:05,873
Uh, yeah. Okay.

455
00:17:07,699 --> 00:17:09,744
Oh.

456
00:17:15,807 --> 00:17:17,952
Guyana, huh?

457
00:17:17,976 --> 00:17:20,921
Yeah. I, uh... I thought
I'd celebrate my new citizenship

458
00:17:20,945 --> 00:17:22,256
by leaving the country.

459
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,259
So, what-what are you gonna do there?

460
00:17:25,283 --> 00:17:27,795
Uh, help build houses
for an organization.

461
00:17:27,819 --> 00:17:28,963
Wow.

462
00:17:28,987 --> 00:17:32,633
Are you, like, addicted to hardship?

463
00:17:32,657 --> 00:17:34,101
- You think I have a problem?
- I think you should definitely

464
00:17:34,125 --> 00:17:35,436
- get it checked out.
- Uh, yeah.

465
00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:37,738
I-I thought so. Well,
I'm glad you were able to,

466
00:17:37,762 --> 00:17:42,309
you know, to get away from
the refugees to have a drink.

467
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,612
Yep. Touché.

468
00:17:44,636 --> 00:17:46,480
You, uh... you enjoying your new job?

469
00:17:46,504 --> 00:17:49,984
Yeah, I'm not really sure
"enjoying" is the right word,

470
00:17:50,008 --> 00:17:52,859
but it's very fulfilling.

471
00:17:54,746 --> 00:17:57,564
Then you know why I'm going to Guyana.

472
00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:05,533
So, there I am
in this clothing store...

473
00:18:05,557 --> 00:18:09,036
uh, oh, uh, by the way,
big sale on sports bras...

474
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:11,372
- Thanks.
- When Min-hee starts to quote

475
00:18:11,396 --> 00:18:14,041
specific numbers from the trade deal.

476
00:18:14,065 --> 00:18:18,045
Turns out that she collaborated
with President Choi

477
00:18:18,069 --> 00:18:20,247
on certain passages.

478
00:18:20,271 --> 00:18:24,418
So I think that we have
a legitimate back channel

479
00:18:24,442 --> 00:18:26,754
to getting the deal signed
before they leave.

480
00:18:26,778 --> 00:18:27,922
I could try, anyway.

481
00:18:27,946 --> 00:18:29,557
Yeah. I mean, absolutely.

482
00:18:29,581 --> 00:18:33,460
Anything that you can do,
that would be... Thank you.

483
00:18:33,484 --> 00:18:36,063
What's going on? Hmm?

484
00:18:36,087 --> 00:18:37,531
- Oh...
- There another video?

485
00:18:37,555 --> 00:18:39,600
No.

486
00:18:39,624 --> 00:18:42,503
But once I searched
for it on YoureVid,

487
00:18:42,527 --> 00:18:44,672
the algorithm started autoplaying

488
00:18:44,696 --> 00:18:48,148
all of these other paranoid videos.

489
00:18:49,033 --> 00:18:50,945
Yeah. Illuminati, flat-earthers.

490
00:18:50,969 --> 00:18:52,613
All the classics.

491
00:18:52,637 --> 00:18:57,952
Well, it starts with
the crazy Project Falanx stuff,

492
00:18:57,976 --> 00:19:00,054
which brings in the people

493
00:19:00,078 --> 00:19:03,791
who are already suspicious
of big institutions, and then...

494
00:19:03,815 --> 00:19:08,024
it starts validating
all of their views,

495
00:19:08,025 --> 00:19:12,472
playing one video after another.

496
00:19:12,496 --> 00:19:15,642
And somehow, it all leads
to white nationalism.

497
00:19:15,666 --> 00:19:18,645
The pot of gold at the end
of the extremist rainbow.

498
00:19:18,669 --> 00:19:21,181
Yeah.

499
00:19:21,205 --> 00:19:23,483
You know, Chelsea Weldon
says that YoureVid

500
00:19:23,507 --> 00:19:25,418
is a neutral platform,

501
00:19:25,442 --> 00:19:28,421
but the way it's set up,
it just keeps feeding you

502
00:19:28,445 --> 00:19:31,491
more and more poison,
you never see anything

503
00:19:31,515 --> 00:19:34,694
that offers another point of view.

504
00:19:34,718 --> 00:19:37,030
- It doesn't want you to.
- How do they justify it?

505
00:19:37,054 --> 00:19:38,698
What is the rationale?

506
00:19:38,722 --> 00:19:40,433
Russell says that their philosophy

507
00:19:40,457 --> 00:19:43,203
is "fight bad speech
with good speech."

508
00:19:43,227 --> 00:19:47,007
But how, if the algorithm
only lets you hear

509
00:19:47,031 --> 00:19:48,341
one kind of speech?

510
00:19:48,365 --> 00:19:49,876
Well, it's not a happy comparison,

511
00:19:49,900 --> 00:19:51,578
but it makes me think
of pharmaceutical companies

512
00:19:51,602 --> 00:19:52,846
- that push opiates.
- Yes.

513
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:54,281
That is exactly what I was thinking.

514
00:19:54,305 --> 00:19:56,783
It's an addiction model.

515
00:19:56,807 --> 00:20:01,555
Anger and fear, you know,
produce an endorphin rush.

516
00:20:01,579 --> 00:20:05,525
So you have to keep watching
rage-inducing videos

517
00:20:05,549 --> 00:20:07,527
to get your fix.

518
00:20:07,551 --> 00:20:10,263
YoureVid doesn't want
to self-regulate,

519
00:20:10,287 --> 00:20:14,334
because they need their users
to be addicted to their product.

520
00:20:14,358 --> 00:20:17,871
That's what's driving
their bottom line.

521
00:20:17,895 --> 00:20:20,207
And they have free speech
to back it up.

522
00:20:20,231 --> 00:20:24,611
I mean, the game is fixed, and...

523
00:20:24,635 --> 00:20:27,053
bad speech is winning.

524
00:20:28,834 --> 00:20:31,970
We couldn't get YoureVid
to take down one video.

525
00:20:31,971 --> 00:20:34,509
We're kidding ourselves
if we think we're gonna regulate

526
00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:36,955
the biggest streaming
platform on the planet.

527
00:20:36,979 --> 00:20:38,557
Every other medium is regulated.

528
00:20:38,581 --> 00:20:41,126
Print news has libel laws.

529
00:20:41,150 --> 00:20:42,461
Radio and television,

530
00:20:42,485 --> 00:20:44,129
the FCC.

531
00:20:44,153 --> 00:20:47,533
Why are we making an exception
for digital platforms?

532
00:20:47,557 --> 00:20:49,001
Because they're popular.

533
00:20:49,025 --> 00:20:51,370
And cracking down on them when
they say bad things about you

534
00:20:51,394 --> 00:20:52,838
- makes you look like a tin-pot dictator.
- Oh...

535
00:20:52,862 --> 00:20:56,241
Oh, look, I couldn't regulate
YoureVid unilaterally

536
00:20:56,265 --> 00:20:57,743
even if I wanted to,

537
00:20:57,767 --> 00:21:01,413
because that would be a job for
the Federal Trade Commission.

538
00:21:01,437 --> 00:21:04,183
So we're back to Rachel Ballard.

539
00:21:04,207 --> 00:21:05,918
I know she's aggressive.

540
00:21:05,942 --> 00:21:07,953
But that's why we need her.
She can make the argument

541
00:21:07,977 --> 00:21:09,855
to the Senate, we can
take it to the public.

542
00:21:09,879 --> 00:21:12,124
Look, this is so much bigger

543
00:21:12,148 --> 00:21:15,928
than one bad video about me.

544
00:21:15,952 --> 00:21:17,996
It's an assault on truth

545
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:20,766
and objective reality.

546
00:21:20,790 --> 00:21:22,968
I'll take the Senate majority
leader's temperature

547
00:21:22,992 --> 00:21:26,772
on Ballard, but I'm pretty sure
I know what he's gonna say.

548
00:21:26,796 --> 00:21:28,407
Well, then make a better
argument, Russell.

549
00:21:28,431 --> 00:21:29,445
- Okay?
- In the meantime,

550
00:21:29,446 --> 00:21:31,944
we have a trade agreement with
South Korea to try to save.

551
00:21:31,968 --> 00:21:33,478
Henry's on that.

552
00:21:33,502 --> 00:21:36,821
Sorry, really? How, exactly?

553
00:21:38,541 --> 00:21:41,286
I hope this isn't too fast for you.

554
00:21:41,310 --> 00:21:43,889
I was a fighter pilot.
I'm good with speed.

555
00:21:43,913 --> 00:21:46,792
I couldn't be in the military.
Too much obedience.

556
00:21:46,816 --> 00:21:48,032
Ha.

557
00:21:49,719 --> 00:21:51,263
Sorry.

558
00:21:51,287 --> 00:21:53,515
But your husband was, uh, an
officer in the army, right?

559
00:21:53,539 --> 00:21:54,409
Yes.

560
00:21:54,410 --> 00:21:56,935
Before he was expelled
for criticizing the government.

561
00:21:56,959 --> 00:21:59,696
Clearly you've opened his
thinking in many ways.

562
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,940
He was a bold thinker
long before we met.

563
00:22:01,964 --> 00:22:03,709
It's why I love him.

564
00:22:03,733 --> 00:22:05,377
I was very impressed
with your contribution

565
00:22:05,401 --> 00:22:06,478
to the trade agreement.

566
00:22:06,502 --> 00:22:07,980
I was wondering if you had

567
00:22:08,004 --> 00:22:10,404
any other ideas about things
that came up during negotiation.

568
00:22:12,341 --> 00:22:15,721
I know you want my husband
to sign the trade deal.

569
00:22:15,745 --> 00:22:17,256
I... I'm not suggesting...

570
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,257
I want him to sign, too.

571
00:22:18,281 --> 00:22:19,725
But you have to understand.

572
00:22:19,749 --> 00:22:22,227
He won the presidency
by a slim margin.

573
00:22:22,251 --> 00:22:23,629
He's concerned about his public image.

574
00:22:23,653 --> 00:22:25,998
That's why,
if there's something he wants,

575
00:22:26,022 --> 00:22:28,567
if there's something
to help repair the damage...

576
00:22:28,591 --> 00:22:30,335
If you could drop
the barriers of entry

577
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,437
for South Korean software,

578
00:22:32,461 --> 00:22:34,273
that might be persuasive.

579
00:22:34,297 --> 00:22:36,842
I wasn't aware that
software restrictions

580
00:22:36,866 --> 00:22:38,877
- were part of the deal.
- Because they've always been there.

581
00:22:38,901 --> 00:22:41,413
Based on some old idea
that South Korean software

582
00:22:41,437 --> 00:22:43,348
could expose Americans
to foreign hacking.

583
00:22:43,372 --> 00:22:45,517
But you already use our hardware.

584
00:22:45,541 --> 00:22:48,620
If we wanted to hack you,
we would've done it by now.

585
00:22:48,644 --> 00:22:51,490
Oh! Would you take a video of me

586
00:22:51,514 --> 00:22:52,791
while I drive?

587
00:22:52,815 --> 00:22:56,428
- Sure.
- Vertical, please.

588
00:22:56,452 --> 00:22:58,203
Better for Insta stories.

589
00:22:59,855 --> 00:23:02,801
I love America!

590
00:23:07,296 --> 00:23:08,940
- Hi.
- He's not here.

591
00:23:08,964 --> 00:23:10,409
No, can I talk to you, please?

592
00:23:10,433 --> 00:23:12,602
Yeah, I've got four minutes.
Three minutes. What's up?

593
00:23:12,626 --> 00:23:14,846
Okay, Griffin is
probably the nicest guy

594
00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:15,947
that I have ever dated.

595
00:23:15,971 --> 00:23:19,618
- Bastard.
- He's funny, he's smart, he's

596
00:23:19,642 --> 00:23:22,921
thoughtful without being,
like, "milady" about it.

597
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:23,791
Eh?

598
00:23:23,792 --> 00:23:26,182
You know, like, "Would milady
like another Chardonnay?"

599
00:23:26,882 --> 00:23:28,727
Those guys that are super pleased

600
00:23:28,751 --> 00:23:30,796
with how attentive they are,
and it's, like,

601
00:23:30,820 --> 00:23:32,397
kind of weird and off-putting.

602
00:23:32,421 --> 00:23:33,665
I'm so glad I'm not dating anymore.

603
00:23:33,689 --> 00:23:35,400
What's the problem?

604
00:23:35,424 --> 00:23:36,802
There's this other guy.

605
00:23:36,826 --> 00:23:38,370
- Ruh-roh.
- Yeah.

606
00:23:38,394 --> 00:23:41,039
- Um, we-we dated for a while,
- Mm-hmm.

607
00:23:41,063 --> 00:23:43,942
and it was very passionate
and kind of secretive,

608
00:23:43,966 --> 00:23:45,510
and then he was gone for three years,

609
00:23:45,534 --> 00:23:48,629
and it took me most of
that time to get over him.

610
00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:50,916
He's back. In two
days he's leaving for Guyana.

611
00:23:50,940 --> 00:23:51,863
Is he joining a cult?

612
00:23:51,887 --> 00:23:54,453
No. He's going there to build
houses, because, you know,

613
00:23:54,477 --> 00:23:56,755
on top of being a fantastic kisser,

614
00:23:56,779 --> 00:23:58,757
he's also very into service.

615
00:23:58,781 --> 00:24:01,059
Well, then it's a good
thing he's going to Guyana.

616
00:24:01,083 --> 00:24:02,761
- Really?
- Yes, if it didn't work out before.

617
00:24:02,785 --> 00:24:04,062
It was never going to.

618
00:24:04,086 --> 00:24:05,697
You're all caught up in everything

619
00:24:05,721 --> 00:24:07,499
you've been fantasizing about
for the last three years.

620
00:24:07,523 --> 00:24:09,534
I mean, what happens when
it's no longer a hot secret,

621
00:24:09,558 --> 00:24:11,703
and you find out he's into bad music

622
00:24:11,727 --> 00:24:13,839
and chews with his mouth open?

623
00:24:13,863 --> 00:24:16,174
Well, what if he's the one,
and I'm, like, letting him

624
00:24:16,198 --> 00:24:17,509
drift out of my life forever?

625
00:24:17,533 --> 00:24:18,944
Here's what Jane Austen
doesn't tell you:

626
00:24:18,968 --> 00:24:20,512
there is no "the one",

627
00:24:20,536 --> 00:24:21,813
there's only "the handful."

628
00:24:21,837 --> 00:24:24,282
Griffin adores you and
he lives in the same city.

629
00:24:24,306 --> 00:24:26,451
If it works, stick to it. Sorry,

630
00:24:26,475 --> 00:24:28,186
I got to run.

631
00:24:28,210 --> 00:24:30,088
Senator Breckinridge.

632
00:24:30,112 --> 00:24:32,758
Russell. What brings you
to the roller rink?

633
00:24:32,782 --> 00:24:35,427
The president is looking
to nominate Rachel Ballard

634
00:24:35,451 --> 00:24:38,463
for Federal Trade commissioner.
We need to get her confirmed.

635
00:24:38,487 --> 00:24:42,300
Now, before you tell me
why we can't get a majority,

636
00:24:42,324 --> 00:24:45,337
you should know that
the fake video YoureVid

637
00:24:45,361 --> 00:24:47,038
still won't take down has made this

638
00:24:47,062 --> 00:24:50,242
a top priority. I'll also
remind you how effective

639
00:24:50,266 --> 00:24:53,345
this president has been at
building bipartisan coalitions.

640
00:24:53,369 --> 00:24:55,881
You undermine her at your peril.

641
00:24:55,905 --> 00:24:58,984
I was gonna ask how
Carol's doing, but okay.

642
00:24:59,008 --> 00:25:02,120
I think Ballard's a great pick.

643
00:25:02,144 --> 00:25:04,389
Good.

644
00:25:04,413 --> 00:25:05,757
So who's her opposition?

645
00:25:05,781 --> 00:25:07,292
You should be good
with the center right,

646
00:25:07,316 --> 00:25:08,960
they love putting
the squeeze on Big Tech.

647
00:25:08,984 --> 00:25:12,130
Since when are Republicans in
favor of industry regulation?

648
00:25:12,154 --> 00:25:14,766
Tech firms are the future
of American media,

649
00:25:14,790 --> 00:25:17,669
which means they're the
future of American politics,

650
00:25:17,693 --> 00:25:20,272
and they're all owned by a
bunch of California Democrats.

651
00:25:20,296 --> 00:25:22,073
Cynical. But I'll take it.

652
00:25:22,097 --> 00:25:25,343
So, you think we have
the votes to confirm.

653
00:25:25,367 --> 00:25:27,312
I wouldn't say that.

654
00:25:27,336 --> 00:25:29,548
With the principled libertarians
and the pro-growth Dems,

655
00:25:29,572 --> 00:25:30,615
it is not a guarantee.

656
00:25:30,639 --> 00:25:33,084
Unless...

657
00:25:33,108 --> 00:25:34,586
What?

658
00:25:34,610 --> 00:25:36,254
You get Hanson.

659
00:25:36,278 --> 00:25:39,090
I know he's causing
the president some trouble.

660
00:25:39,114 --> 00:25:40,158
W...

661
00:25:40,182 --> 00:25:42,694
He's investigating her for treason.

662
00:25:42,718 --> 00:25:44,362
He forced one of her
closest colleagues

663
00:25:44,386 --> 00:25:46,865
to resign last week.

664
00:25:46,889 --> 00:25:48,300
He's with you on Big Tech,

665
00:25:48,324 --> 00:25:51,002
and he's got three
junior senators in his pocket.

666
00:25:51,026 --> 00:25:52,337
That'll get you past 50.

667
00:25:52,361 --> 00:25:55,246
It's either that or roll the dice.

668
00:25:59,502 --> 00:26:01,613
So the only way to regulate

669
00:26:01,637 --> 00:26:04,316
these false attacks against me

670
00:26:04,340 --> 00:26:07,152
is to appeal to the guy
leading the attacks.

671
00:26:07,176 --> 00:26:09,454
Wow. You got to love
the irony in that.

672
00:26:09,478 --> 00:26:10,589
Oh, I don't.

673
00:26:10,613 --> 00:26:13,124
But Breckinridge thinks Hanson's

674
00:26:13,148 --> 00:26:14,693
the path to confirmation.

675
00:26:14,717 --> 00:26:16,127
Well, you're not sending me in.

676
00:26:16,151 --> 00:26:19,931
I already had to let Miller
take credit for the ESI bill.

677
00:26:19,955 --> 00:26:22,400
That's as far as I'm going
with selling my soul

678
00:26:22,424 --> 00:26:24,135
for political expediency.

679
00:26:24,159 --> 00:26:26,738
Well, then, we go to the bullpen.

680
00:26:26,762 --> 00:26:28,306
Make the call.

681
00:26:28,330 --> 00:26:30,375
Mark. It's been too long.

682
00:26:30,399 --> 00:26:32,283
That is has, Mr. Vice President.

683
00:26:33,469 --> 00:26:34,980
How are Vicki and the kids?

684
00:26:35,004 --> 00:26:37,215
Doing good.

685
00:26:37,239 --> 00:26:39,584
Lucas is about to graduate,
if you can believe it.

686
00:26:39,608 --> 00:26:40,852
Wow, that's terrific.

687
00:26:40,876 --> 00:26:43,889
We'll have to have you over
next time they're in DC.

688
00:26:43,913 --> 00:26:47,259
Could we start with some...
some calamari?

689
00:26:47,283 --> 00:26:49,828
Mmm. Sounds good.

690
00:26:49,852 --> 00:26:51,530
Do you mind one piece of business?

691
00:26:51,554 --> 00:26:54,099
And here I thought you
just wanted to catch up.

692
00:26:54,123 --> 00:26:55,967
I want to take your
temperature on Rachel Ballard

693
00:26:55,991 --> 00:26:57,869
for Federal Trade commissioner.

694
00:26:57,893 --> 00:26:58,937
The liberal economist?

695
00:26:58,961 --> 00:27:01,239
That's, uh... Hmm.

696
00:27:01,263 --> 00:27:03,041
- That's a tough confirmation.
- Yeah.

697
00:27:03,065 --> 00:27:05,076
Breckinridge wants to give her
a hearing, and he thought

698
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:06,378
you might be able to help.

699
00:27:06,402 --> 00:27:07,679
Did he?

700
00:27:07,703 --> 00:27:09,781
Yeah. We have a rare opportunity here.

701
00:27:09,805 --> 00:27:12,751
Digital media is a
dangerously unregulated force

702
00:27:12,775 --> 00:27:15,053
for disruption. And right now,

703
00:27:15,077 --> 00:27:17,088
California Democrats
are calling the shots.

704
00:27:17,112 --> 00:27:19,558
With regulation, we can ensure

705
00:27:19,582 --> 00:27:22,093
that real conservative principles...

706
00:27:22,117 --> 00:27:24,629
not just the alt-right...

707
00:27:24,653 --> 00:27:26,765
- get a full hearing online.
- And what does that look like...

708
00:27:26,789 --> 00:27:29,134
an equal time law for online videos?

709
00:27:29,158 --> 00:27:32,604
Open up the algorithms
that drive the big platforms.

710
00:27:32,628 --> 00:27:35,747
Ensure there's no bias
against any party or ideology.

711
00:27:36,832 --> 00:27:38,877
Sorry. No.

712
00:27:38,901 --> 00:27:40,145
No.

713
00:27:40,169 --> 00:27:41,479
That's it?

714
00:27:41,503 --> 00:27:43,715
I'd love to see Big Tech
come to heel, but not

715
00:27:43,739 --> 00:27:46,251
if it's another socialist win
for this administration.

716
00:27:46,275 --> 00:27:47,652
This isn't cable news.

717
00:27:47,676 --> 00:27:49,955
ESI was a massive government handout.

718
00:27:49,979 --> 00:27:51,623
She yanked the political
center of gravity

719
00:27:51,647 --> 00:27:54,426
way to the left, and betrayed
everything she ran on.

720
00:27:54,450 --> 00:27:57,128
I'm sorry, what do you mean?
She ran on ESI.

721
00:27:57,152 --> 00:28:00,298
No, she ran on the legacy
of Conrad Dalton.

722
00:28:00,322 --> 00:28:03,401
Moderation. Practicality. Unity.

723
00:28:03,425 --> 00:28:06,404
The way she got that bill funded
was none of those things.

724
00:28:06,428 --> 00:28:08,073
Okay.

725
00:28:08,097 --> 00:28:10,842
So that's it, no compromise?

726
00:28:10,866 --> 00:28:14,512
I have enjoyed working with you,
Carlos, but is this...

727
00:28:14,536 --> 00:28:17,048
is this what you imagined
for yourself?

728
00:28:17,072 --> 00:28:18,216
Sitting on your hands

729
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,185
while the president
bloats the federal government

730
00:28:20,209 --> 00:28:22,187
beyond FDR's wildest dreams?

731
00:28:22,211 --> 00:28:24,656
Believe it or not,

732
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,659
she meant what she said
on the campaign trail.

733
00:28:27,683 --> 00:28:30,528
She wants to work with all sides.

734
00:28:30,552 --> 00:28:31,596
I'm more interested in seeing

735
00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:33,665
what you can do for this country.

736
00:28:33,689 --> 00:28:36,167
That moment can be here...

737
00:28:36,191 --> 00:28:39,076
sooner than you realize.

738
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,085
Impeachment? He actually said that?

739
00:28:44,109 --> 00:28:47,497
Forget Rachel Ballard and the FTC.

740
00:28:47,498 --> 00:28:50,544
Forget regulating YoureVid
or banning deepfakes.

741
00:28:50,568 --> 00:28:53,313
Hanson wants to take you down.

742
00:28:53,337 --> 00:28:56,483
What an excellent sign
for a constitutional democracy.

743
00:28:56,507 --> 00:28:58,652
What exactly makes me such a threat?

744
00:28:58,676 --> 00:29:01,488
- Did he say?
- He either sincerely believes

745
00:29:01,512 --> 00:29:03,623
that you are
a crypto-socialist autocrat

746
00:29:03,647 --> 00:29:05,559
or he's making a power grab.

747
00:29:05,583 --> 00:29:06,860
It's a tough call.

748
00:29:06,884 --> 00:29:08,261
I don't buy it.

749
00:29:08,285 --> 00:29:10,096
The Iran scandal's nearly dead.

750
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,965
Hanson knows he's out of moves.

751
00:29:11,989 --> 00:29:13,099
This is his death spiral.

752
00:29:13,123 --> 00:29:14,568
I'm not so sure.

753
00:29:14,592 --> 00:29:16,636
It looks like he's still
recruiting candidates

754
00:29:16,660 --> 00:29:18,038
to get dirt on the president.

755
00:29:18,062 --> 00:29:20,340
- Like who?
- Like me.

756
00:29:20,364 --> 00:29:22,075
He all but offered
to make me president.

757
00:29:22,099 --> 00:29:24,110
Wow.

758
00:29:24,134 --> 00:29:26,446
And what did you say?

759
00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:28,048
I didn't dignify it with a response.

760
00:29:28,072 --> 00:29:29,849
Okay, fine. If
Hanson was our last shot

761
00:29:29,873 --> 00:29:31,117
at getting a couple of Republicans

762
00:29:31,141 --> 00:29:33,420
to s... to stand up for
truth in digital media,

763
00:29:33,444 --> 00:29:34,921
let's head to the other
side of the aisle.

764
00:29:34,945 --> 00:29:37,090
Centrist Democrats looking
a little vulnerable

765
00:29:37,114 --> 00:29:38,158
in midterms for 500?

766
00:29:39,416 --> 00:29:42,095
Senator Stulbarg of Minnesota.

767
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:44,480
Senator Furey of Pennsylvania.

768
00:29:44,504 --> 00:29:46,199
I'm sure they'd love the help
of the White House to shore up

769
00:29:46,223 --> 00:29:47,534
their constituencies.

770
00:29:47,558 --> 00:29:49,970
- Get into it, Mike.
- I'm on it.

771
00:29:49,994 --> 00:29:52,105
Digital media needs regulating,
to be sure.

772
00:29:52,129 --> 00:29:54,708
I just don't know if Rachel Ballard

773
00:29:54,732 --> 00:29:55,742
is the one to do it.

774
00:29:55,766 --> 00:29:57,611
She's hostile and divisive.

775
00:29:57,635 --> 00:29:59,446
Isn't a tough negotiator
exactly who you want

776
00:29:59,470 --> 00:30:01,922
trying to reign in one of the
biggest industries in the world?

777
00:30:01,946 --> 00:30:03,717
I think we can protect
the general public

778
00:30:03,741 --> 00:30:05,986
without impeding
innovation and growth.

779
00:30:06,010 --> 00:30:07,387
I get it.

780
00:30:07,411 --> 00:30:09,289
Tech companies have been
great supporters of Democrats

781
00:30:09,313 --> 00:30:10,957
like you, but ask yourselves,

782
00:30:10,981 --> 00:30:13,260
do you have to choose
between the health

783
00:30:13,284 --> 00:30:15,061
of our democracy
and a couple of million dollars

784
00:30:15,085 --> 00:30:16,429
in campaign contributions?

785
00:30:16,453 --> 00:30:18,298
I'm sorry,

786
00:30:18,322 --> 00:30:20,567
but it's a little rich taking lessons

787
00:30:20,591 --> 00:30:23,036
from you on money and politics, Mike.

788
00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:25,505
You ladies know me
as a pragmatist and a survivor.

789
00:30:25,529 --> 00:30:27,307
I'm not asking you to do anything

790
00:30:27,331 --> 00:30:29,342
that would threaten
either of your futures.

791
00:30:29,366 --> 00:30:30,910
I'm offering you a way to win.

792
00:30:30,934 --> 00:30:32,345
How is that?

793
00:30:32,369 --> 00:30:34,247
The White House
is currently renegotiating

794
00:30:34,271 --> 00:30:36,483
our free trade agreement
with South Korea.

795
00:30:36,507 --> 00:30:40,151
We can all but guarantee
South Korean companies

796
00:30:40,152 --> 00:30:42,864
will build manufacturing plants
in your states.

797
00:30:42,888 --> 00:30:45,967
Thousands of well-paying
blue collar union jobs

798
00:30:45,991 --> 00:30:49,170
delivered to the good people
of Minnesota and Pennsylvania,

799
00:30:49,194 --> 00:30:50,338
weeks before the election.

800
00:30:50,362 --> 00:30:53,608
That's a tricky phrase...
"all but guarantee"?

801
00:30:53,632 --> 00:30:56,111
Mm. In politics,
it means you've got nothing.

802
00:30:56,135 --> 00:30:57,879
Let's just say I can

803
00:30:57,903 --> 00:31:01,783
guarantee that we almost
certainly have a guarantee.

804
00:31:01,807 --> 00:31:03,852
When you have something real,

805
00:31:03,876 --> 00:31:05,720
- get back to us.
- And how about

806
00:31:05,744 --> 00:31:08,189
next time,
you cross Pennsylvania Avenue?

807
00:31:08,213 --> 00:31:09,991
Or you know what? Bagels and coffee.

808
00:31:10,015 --> 00:31:11,726
If you're gonna make us
come here for nothing.

809
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:13,891
I hear the aerospace
caucus got souvenir pens.

810
00:31:13,892 --> 00:31:15,397
Nobody ever gave me a pen.

811
00:31:15,421 --> 00:31:18,066
Did you know that the U.S.

812
00:31:18,090 --> 00:31:20,494
has these old,
out-of-date restrictions

813
00:31:20,495 --> 00:31:21,872
on Korean software?

814
00:31:21,896 --> 00:31:25,233
I just assumed we always use
our own because we have it.

815
00:31:25,234 --> 00:31:28,279
Not entirely. We use them
because NSA thinks that

816
00:31:28,303 --> 00:31:30,382
foreign-designed software
can lead to security breaches,

817
00:31:30,406 --> 00:31:33,184
even if they were designed
by a longtime ally.

818
00:31:33,208 --> 00:31:35,387
Min-hee said that
it's the deal point that

819
00:31:35,411 --> 00:31:37,555
President Choi wanted to address,

820
00:31:37,579 --> 00:31:39,557
but for some reason
it's never been part of

821
00:31:39,581 --> 00:31:43,061
the negotiation.
Meaning that if we could get NSA

822
00:31:43,085 --> 00:31:44,329
to move off the restriction,

823
00:31:44,353 --> 00:31:46,605
I think we can get
Choi to sign the deal.

824
00:31:46,629 --> 00:31:47,627
Yeah.

825
00:31:47,628 --> 00:31:50,575
Getting NSA
to ease off restrictions...

826
00:31:51,593 --> 00:31:54,239
- ...it's not a slam dunk.
- Min-hee said

827
00:31:54,263 --> 00:31:58,109
that Korea survived
the recession of 2008

828
00:31:58,133 --> 00:32:01,346
by focusing on domestic
production, but then

829
00:32:01,370 --> 00:32:03,648
the economy stagnated, they
faced a lot more competition,

830
00:32:03,672 --> 00:32:04,983
which is why they've become

831
00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:07,485
the world leader in 5G technology.

832
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:09,688
Maybe if you argue the
value of competition...

833
00:32:09,712 --> 00:32:12,057
Yes. Yes.

834
00:32:12,081 --> 00:32:14,359
Because...

835
00:32:14,383 --> 00:32:17,062
the best way to regulate capitalism

836
00:32:17,086 --> 00:32:20,165
is to force it to regulate itself.

837
00:32:20,189 --> 00:32:21,833
Is that Adam Smith?

838
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:23,168
No, it's me.

839
00:32:23,192 --> 00:32:24,736
Uh...

840
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,106
Maybe it's Adam Smith. I don't know.

841
00:32:28,130 --> 00:32:30,108
But I'm gonna be up in a few minutes.

842
00:32:30,132 --> 00:32:31,609
I just... I want to call Russell.

843
00:32:31,633 --> 00:32:33,144
- So that's it. Y-You're done?
- Yep.

844
00:32:33,168 --> 00:32:34,846
- Yeah.
- H-Hey.

845
00:32:34,870 --> 00:32:37,515
We just got word
that every single application

846
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:39,317
was accepted by the Swedish embassy.

847
00:32:39,341 --> 00:32:41,453
- Wha... Damn. Way to go.
- I know.

848
00:32:41,477 --> 00:32:43,421
I know. It's a huge win.

849
00:32:43,445 --> 00:32:46,458
Well, here-here's to
the hundreds of people

850
00:32:46,482 --> 00:32:49,094
who get to start a new life
because of you.

851
00:32:49,118 --> 00:32:50,295
Because of a lot of people.

852
00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:51,696
Okay.

853
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,871
Thank you.

854
00:32:56,091 --> 00:32:58,036
Yeah. Oh. I'm sorry.

855
00:32:58,060 --> 00:33:00,338
- Careful. I got it.
- So sorry. Here.

856
00:33:00,362 --> 00:33:03,975
Uh... Hey, so,

857
00:33:03,999 --> 00:33:07,479
uh, I don't want to
make a, like, a big deal

858
00:33:07,503 --> 00:33:09,614
out of this or anything,
but I just wanted to say

859
00:33:09,638 --> 00:33:12,016
that I... I've been really enjoying

860
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,219
getting to know you.

861
00:33:14,243 --> 00:33:16,521
Uh...

862
00:33:16,545 --> 00:33:18,656
I really like you.

863
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,092
But... Look, I kn-I know
that we haven't talked about

864
00:33:21,116 --> 00:33:24,462
being exclusive,
but I just wanted you to know

865
00:33:24,486 --> 00:33:27,332
that I'm not... that-that,
uh, I'm just saying,

866
00:33:27,356 --> 00:33:29,601
I only want to see you.

867
00:33:29,625 --> 00:33:32,470
I-I don't know about you,
but I-I've been feeling like

868
00:33:32,494 --> 00:33:36,074
this could maybe
be the start of something real.

869
00:33:36,098 --> 00:33:37,642
- You know?
- Yeah.

870
00:33:37,666 --> 00:33:39,811
Wow.

871
00:33:39,835 --> 00:33:42,954
What, uh, what do you think?

872
00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:45,984
Um...

873
00:33:58,353 --> 00:34:00,498
Hi.

874
00:34:00,522 --> 00:34:01,666
Hi.

875
00:34:01,690 --> 00:34:03,601
Sorry it's late.

876
00:34:03,625 --> 00:34:05,436
Um...

877
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:08,973
I guess you're-you're probably
getting ready to go.

878
00:34:08,997 --> 00:34:10,348
But, um...

879
00:34:14,336 --> 00:34:16,548
Can you do me a favor?

880
00:34:16,572 --> 00:34:20,591
I need you to tell me
that we are done.

881
00:34:21,476 --> 00:34:22,821
'Cause, uh,

882
00:34:22,845 --> 00:34:24,289
I've been trying to move on

883
00:34:24,313 --> 00:34:26,825
with someone who...

884
00:34:26,849 --> 00:34:28,293
Well, he lives here.

885
00:34:28,317 --> 00:34:31,296
He-he lives in this city,

886
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,231
he's not running away to the jungle

887
00:34:33,255 --> 00:34:36,334
to build houses.

888
00:34:36,358 --> 00:34:38,937
He's nice to me.

889
00:34:38,961 --> 00:34:40,338
He cares about me.

890
00:34:40,362 --> 00:34:43,141
It's not complicated.

891
00:34:43,165 --> 00:34:45,383
I'm lucky to have him in my life...

892
00:34:46,668 --> 00:34:49,020
...and then you show up, you are back.

893
00:34:50,739 --> 00:34:52,317
I just... I see...

894
00:34:52,341 --> 00:34:55,019
Every time I-I see you, I-I just...

895
00:34:55,043 --> 00:34:56,894
Every time you see me, what?

896
00:35:00,515 --> 00:35:02,260
I just want

897
00:35:02,284 --> 00:35:03,701
to, um...

898
00:35:46,065 --> 00:35:49,191
My son listens to this stuff
on repeat. It grows on you.

899
00:35:49,192 --> 00:35:50,336
It's a little overproduced.

900
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,138
Your hair's a little overproduced.

901
00:35:52,162 --> 00:35:54,407
? Don't want to see you anymore ?

902
00:35:54,431 --> 00:35:56,643
? Better walk right out that door ?

903
00:35:56,667 --> 00:35:58,077
? Bye-bye, boy ?

904
00:35:59,603 --> 00:36:01,547
? Say goodbye-bye, boy ?

905
00:36:01,571 --> 00:36:04,217
? Don't want to see you anymore ?

906
00:36:04,241 --> 00:36:06,252
? Better walk right out that door ?

907
00:36:06,276 --> 00:36:09,389
? Bye-bye, boy,
baby, bye-bye, boy... ?

908
00:36:09,413 --> 00:36:11,491
She's great.

909
00:36:11,515 --> 00:36:14,093
? Don't want to see you anymore ?

910
00:36:14,117 --> 00:36:15,728
? Better walk right out that door ?

911
00:36:15,752 --> 00:36:18,498
? Bye-bye, boy ?

912
00:36:18,522 --> 00:36:21,501
? Say goodbye-bye, boy ?

913
00:36:21,525 --> 00:36:23,670
? Don't want to see you anymore ?

914
00:36:23,694 --> 00:36:26,272
? Better walk right out that door. ?

915
00:36:27,831 --> 00:36:29,309
Thank you.

916
00:36:29,333 --> 00:36:32,312
Thank you so much. I love you all.

917
00:36:38,308 --> 00:36:41,240
Ms. Weldon. I'm so glad that you came.

918
00:36:41,260 --> 00:36:45,024
Madam President. Well, thank you
so much for the invitation.

919
00:36:45,048 --> 00:36:46,526
This is my husband Damon.

920
00:36:46,550 --> 00:36:47,927
So nice to meet you.

921
00:36:47,951 --> 00:36:49,176
It's a pleasure, Madam President.

922
00:36:49,177 --> 00:36:51,589
Can I steal her for a minute?
And I promise you'll be back

923
00:36:51,613 --> 00:36:52,757
before the beef Wellington.

924
00:36:54,549 --> 00:36:56,661
Ms. Kwon, that was terrific.

925
00:36:56,685 --> 00:36:58,863
Oh, thank you so much. Michael
Barnow, advisor to the President.

926
00:36:58,887 --> 00:37:02,667
May I introduce you to Senators
Jane Stulbarg and Linda Furey?

927
00:37:02,691 --> 00:37:04,702
It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kwon.

928
00:37:04,726 --> 00:37:06,004
That was probably the most fun

929
00:37:06,028 --> 00:37:07,338
I've ever had at the White House.

930
00:37:07,362 --> 00:37:09,908
- Thank you.
- If you have a moment, they would love

931
00:37:09,932 --> 00:37:11,910
to discuss the benefits
of American manufacturing

932
00:37:11,934 --> 00:37:14,379
- in their home states.
- Mm. Sounds intriguing.

933
00:37:14,403 --> 00:37:17,048
- Why don't you join me and my husband?
- Why, thank you.

934
00:37:17,072 --> 00:37:19,050
Chelsea, you've met

935
00:37:19,074 --> 00:37:21,753
my chief of staff Russell Jackson.

936
00:37:21,777 --> 00:37:22,921
Sure have.

937
00:37:22,945 --> 00:37:24,923
The president and I
just, uh, wanted you to know

938
00:37:24,947 --> 00:37:27,025
that the new Free Trade
Agreement with South Korea

939
00:37:27,049 --> 00:37:28,192
is back on track.

940
00:37:28,216 --> 00:37:29,360
Congratulations.

941
00:37:29,384 --> 00:37:31,462
With a few amendments.

942
00:37:31,486 --> 00:37:33,798
Yeah, we will be allowing
South Korean software

943
00:37:33,822 --> 00:37:35,133
and digital applications

944
00:37:35,157 --> 00:37:38,369
to enter the American market.

945
00:37:38,393 --> 00:37:40,471
You're, uh,
you're familiar with HuySo?

946
00:37:40,495 --> 00:37:44,275
A new streaming platform
out of South Korea, of course.

947
00:37:44,299 --> 00:37:45,777
Yeah, very similar to YoureVid,

948
00:37:45,801 --> 00:37:47,712
but uh, with a few key differences.

949
00:37:47,736 --> 00:37:51,049
Uh, strict community guidelines
for misinformation and abuse,

950
00:37:51,073 --> 00:37:54,385
uh, verified news sources,
human moderators.

951
00:37:54,409 --> 00:37:57,588
I know. I-I don't know how they do it.

952
00:37:57,612 --> 00:37:58,923
We were impressed.

953
00:37:58,947 --> 00:38:01,793
And no algorithmically-generated
autoplays

954
00:38:01,817 --> 00:38:03,728
or deepfakes.

955
00:38:03,752 --> 00:38:06,264
I get it. But this is a model

956
00:38:06,288 --> 00:38:07,598
that works for South Korea.

957
00:38:07,622 --> 00:38:09,600
Like gangbusters.

958
00:38:09,624 --> 00:38:10,935
It's really taking off.

959
00:38:10,959 --> 00:38:12,270
Well, especially
in the 18-35 demographic.

960
00:38:12,294 --> 00:38:14,072
- Yeah.
- It turns out

961
00:38:14,096 --> 00:38:16,441
young South Koreans vastly
prefer HuySo over YoureVid

962
00:38:16,465 --> 00:38:18,576
'cause the interface is simpler

963
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,144
and the videos have better resolution,

964
00:38:20,168 --> 00:38:21,779
but mainly...

965
00:38:21,803 --> 00:38:24,949
because they find the content
more trustworthy.

966
00:38:24,973 --> 00:38:27,285
HuySo will be aggressively moving

967
00:38:27,309 --> 00:38:29,020
into the U.S.

968
00:38:29,044 --> 00:38:31,856
- once the new trade deal is signed.
- Can I

969
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,691
just ask, Madam President...

970
00:38:33,715 --> 00:38:35,526
Yeah. Have you considered

971
00:38:35,550 --> 00:38:38,329
what it'll be like campaigning

972
00:38:38,353 --> 00:38:39,998
for a second term as the president

973
00:38:40,022 --> 00:38:42,100
who threatened free speech

974
00:38:42,124 --> 00:38:44,002
in favor

975
00:38:44,026 --> 00:38:45,803
of a foreign company?

976
00:38:45,827 --> 00:38:48,740
I'm willing to face the
tribunal, as long as voters

977
00:38:48,764 --> 00:38:51,815
have reliable information
to make their decision.

978
00:38:52,734 --> 00:38:53,878
Well, and...

979
00:38:53,902 --> 00:38:55,713
with streaming platforms

980
00:38:55,737 --> 00:38:57,882
operating like HuySo, they'll get it.

981
00:38:57,906 --> 00:38:59,050
Madam President?

982
00:38:59,074 --> 00:39:01,959
I'm so sorry. I-I have
to get back. Thank you.

983
00:39:04,980 --> 00:39:06,624
So, basically,

984
00:39:06,648 --> 00:39:09,494
shift the entire culture
of the Internet

985
00:39:09,518 --> 00:39:12,797
in two weeks. Or... do I get four?

986
00:39:12,821 --> 00:39:14,298
What do you guys like to say...

987
00:39:14,322 --> 00:39:16,473
move fast and break things?

988
00:39:17,359 --> 00:39:19,604
You're a great American company.

989
00:39:19,628 --> 00:39:21,812
We'd like to see you stay that way.

990
00:39:26,902 --> 00:39:30,148
So, I don't know what Mike did,
but looks like the senators

991
00:39:30,172 --> 00:39:32,817
are swapping baby photos
with the first family.

992
00:39:32,841 --> 00:39:34,886
Looks like

993
00:39:34,910 --> 00:39:36,587
two more votes
for my FTC commissioner.

994
00:39:36,611 --> 00:39:37,822
Take that,

995
00:39:37,846 --> 00:39:40,992
deepfake makers.

996
00:39:41,016 --> 00:39:43,394
I'm not sure that's what
they call themselves.

997
00:39:43,418 --> 00:39:45,663
Thank you so much for spending
the time, Mr. President.

998
00:39:45,687 --> 00:39:47,899
Sung-hoon. Thank you
for the introduction.

999
00:39:47,923 --> 00:39:49,834
- Very cool ladies.
- Ms. Kwon,

1000
00:39:49,858 --> 00:39:51,469
can I just say, my son
is such a huge fan.

1001
00:39:51,493 --> 00:39:53,071
I don't think he would
forgive me if I didn't ask

1002
00:39:53,095 --> 00:39:54,238
for an autograph.

1003
00:39:54,262 --> 00:39:55,573
Of course.

1004
00:39:55,597 --> 00:39:57,815
- What's your son's name?
- Michael.

1005
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:01,546
You know what? Just "Mike."

1006
00:40:01,570 --> 00:40:02,886
"B."

1007
00:40:04,473 --> 00:40:06,523
- Awesome. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

1008
00:40:36,104 --> 00:40:38,116
- Mr. Vice President.
- Ms. Ballard.

1009
00:40:38,140 --> 00:40:40,618
Congratulations on your confirmation.

1010
00:40:40,642 --> 00:40:42,753
Thanks to your auspicious
tiebreaking vote.

1011
00:40:42,777 --> 00:40:43,921
Just exercising

1012
00:40:43,945 --> 00:40:45,756
my constitutional duty.

1013
00:40:45,780 --> 00:40:47,698
It's great to have you aboard.

1014
00:40:50,185 --> 00:40:52,130
Quite a week for you, Mr. VP.

1015
00:40:52,154 --> 00:40:54,632
I'm a little surprised
to see you here.

1016
00:40:54,656 --> 00:40:56,300
No, I love the East Room.

1017
00:40:56,324 --> 00:40:57,502
Did you know Nixon

1018
00:40:57,526 --> 00:41:00,138
delivered his farewell address here?

1019
00:41:00,162 --> 00:41:03,814
Hmm. Well, I'm telling
you this as a friend.

1020
00:41:04,699 --> 00:41:07,912
68% of the public is
against impeachment.

1021
00:41:07,936 --> 00:41:10,821
The American people
aren't with you on this.

1022
00:41:12,073 --> 00:41:15,753
I have one superpower, Carlos.

1023
00:41:15,777 --> 00:41:19,229
I never, ever quit.

1024
00:41:21,516 --> 00:41:24,662
- Is this guilty dogs?
- No. And what?

1025
00:41:24,686 --> 00:41:26,664
It's that guy, Shawn Olson.

1026
00:41:26,688 --> 00:41:29,000
He got banned from YoureVid
and now he's ranting

1027
00:41:29,024 --> 00:41:31,869
at some dude for stealing
his parking spot.

1028
00:41:31,893 --> 00:41:33,493
- How about some eggs?
- Oh, I love this.

1029
00:41:35,297 --> 00:41:37,441
Hey! Ow! Stinkin' communist!

1030
00:41:38,867 --> 00:41:40,344
What's that?

1031
00:41:40,368 --> 00:41:42,880
It's that, uh,
that crazy guy Shawn Olson.

1032
00:41:42,904 --> 00:41:45,416
He's freaking out in a parking lot.

1033
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,552
Communist! Hey! God! Snowflake!

1034
00:41:47,576 --> 00:41:49,353
Oh, my God.

1035
00:41:49,377 --> 00:41:52,890
Wow, that's, uh,
that's hilarious, yeah.

1036
00:41:52,914 --> 00:41:54,592
Wait, you don't want to see the end?

1037
00:41:54,616 --> 00:41:56,861
I mean, the-the bad guy
has egg on his face.

1038
00:41:56,885 --> 00:41:59,530
It's good enough for me. Uh...

1039
00:41:59,554 --> 00:42:01,032
Wait, what is that?

1040
00:42:01,056 --> 00:42:03,868
- What?
- This.

1041
00:42:03,892 --> 00:42:05,203
That?

1042
00:42:05,227 --> 00:42:06,704
- That.
- Passion fruit.

1043
00:42:06,728 --> 00:42:09,807
What? I got it for you because...

1044
00:42:09,831 --> 00:42:12,176
Well, you know, in case you were sad

1045
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,379
about skipping Guyana.

1046
00:42:15,403 --> 00:42:17,554
Are you?

1047
00:42:33,892 --> 00:42:40,042
