[00:00.000]Ladies and Gentlemen,
[00:01.947]you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight,
[00:04.167]but you're here with us in New York City.
[00:06.596]Are you ready for a cabinet meeting?
[00:10.776]The issue on the table:
[00:12.918]Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank.
[00:17.829]Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir.
[00:22.897]"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
[00:25.509]We fought for these ideals; we shouldn't settle for less.
[00:28.278]These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em.
[00:30.995]Don't act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote 'em.
[00:34.234]Owwwwwww.
[00:34.939]But Hamilton forgets
[00:36.376]His plan would have the government assume states' debts.
[00:39.197]Now place your bets as to who that benefits
[00:41.862]The very seat of government where Hamilton sits.
[00:44.500]Not true!
[00:45.205]Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it.
[00:47.373]If New York's in debt—Why should Virginia bear it?
[00:50.508]Uh! Our debts are paid, I'm afraid.
[00:52.598]Don't tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade.
[00:55.707]In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground.We create.
[00:58.711]You just wanna move our money around.
[01:00.853]This financial plan is an outrageous demand.
[01:03.491]And it's too many damn pages for any man to understand.
[01:06.782]Stand with me. In the land of the free.
[01:08.768]And pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy.
[01:11.511]Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky.
[01:14.593]Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whiskey.
[01:18.381]Thank you, Secretary Jefferson.
[01:20.941]Secretary Hamilton, your response.
[01:25.512]Thomas. That was a real nice declaration.
[01:28.281]Welcome to the present. We're running a real nation.
[01:30.972]Would you like to join us, or stay mellow, doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
[01:36.902]If we assume the debts, the Union gets a new line of credit, a financial diuretic.
[01:41.760]How do you not get it? If we're aggressive and competitive
[01:44.660]The Union gets a boost. You'd rather give it a sedative?
[01:47.795]A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor.
[01:50.302]Your debts are paid cuz you don't pay for labor.
[01:53.098]"We plant seeds in the South. We create."
[01:55.135]Yeah, keep ranting.We know who's really doing the planting.
[01:59.001]And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment,
[02:00.804]Don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it.
[02:04.095]You think I'm frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench
[02:06.733]While you were off, getting high with the French.
[02:09.398]Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President
[02:11.984]Reticent—there isn't a plan he doesn't jettison.
[02:14.596]Madison, you're mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine.
[02:17.418]Damn, you're in worse shape than the national debt is in,
[02:20.056]Sittin' there useless as two shits.
[02:22.329]Hey, turn around, bend over, I'll show you where my shoe fits.
[02:26.273]Excuse me? Jefferson, Madison, take a walk!
[02:29.564]Hamilton, take a walk!
[02:31.680]We'll reconvene after a brief recess. Hamilton!
[02:34.684]Sir!
[02:35.364]A word.
[02:37.297]You don't have the votes.
[02:39.282]You don't have the votes.
[02:40.902]Aha-ha ha ha!
[02:42.417]You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes.
[02:47.876]Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder.
[02:51.403]Why he even brings the thunder...
[02:56.706]You wanna pull yourself together?
[02:58.378]I'm sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather.
[03:00.859]Young man, I'm from Virginia. So watch your mouth.
[03:03.498]So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?
[03:06.893]You need the votes.
[03:07.729]No, we need bold strokes. We need this plan.
[03:09.845]No, you need to convince more folks.
[03:11.726]Well, James Madison won't talk to me, that's a nonstarter.
[03:15.044]Winning was easy, young man. Governing's harder.
[03:17.342]They're being intransigent.
[03:18.231]You have to find a compromise.
[03:19.929]But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine!
[03:21.783]Convince them otherwise.
[03:22.802]What happens if I don't get congressional approval?
[03:25.623]I imagine they'll call for your removal.
[03:28.105]Sir
[03:28.862]Figure it out, Alexander.
[03:31.292]That's an order from your commander.
