Cabinet Battle #2
[00:00.36] The issue on the table:
[00:02.13] France is on the verge of war with England.
[00:04.38] Now do provide aid and troops to our French allies?
[00:07.67] Or do we stay out of it?
[00:09.18] Remember, my decision on this matter
[00:11.21] Is not subject to congressional approval.
[00:13.98] The only person you have to convince is me.
[00:16.48] Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor sir.
[00:19.26] When we were on death's door when we were needy
[00:21.52] We made a promise, we signed a treaty.
[00:23.79] We needed money and guns and half a chance,
[00:26.05] Uhh who provided those funds? (France)
[00:28.58] In return they didn't ask for land,
[00:30.85] Only the promise that we'd lend a hand
[00:33.12] And stand with them if they fought against oppressors
[00:35.38] And revolution is messy but now is the time to stand.
[00:38.40] Stand with our brothers as they fight against tyranny.
[00:40.41] I know that Alexander Hamilton is here
[00:42.68] And he would rather not have this debate.
[00:44.95] I remind you that he is not Secretary of State!
[00:48.22] He knows nothing of loyalty. (nothing)
[00:49.98] Smells like new money
[00:50.98] Dresses like fake royalty.
[00:52.76] Desperate to rise above his station.
[00:54.52] Everything he does betrays the ideals our nation.
[00:59.07] Hey, and if you don't know now you know Mr. President.
[01:02.58] Thank you Secretary Jefferson
[01:04.59] Secretary Hamilton your response.
[01:10.86] You must be out of your GODDAMNED mind
[01:13.12] If you think
[01:13.88] The president is gonna bring the nation to the brink
[01:16.40] Of meddling in the middle of a military mess
[01:18.66] A game of chess
[01:19.42] Where France is queen and king-less
[01:21.43] We've signed a treaty with a king
[01:22.93] Who's head is now in a basket
[01:24.18] Would you like to take it out and ask it?
[01:26.45] "Oh should we honor our treaty King Louis head?"
[01:28.20] Uh do whatever you want, I'm super dead!
[01:30.73] Enough! Enough!
[01:31.73] Hamilton is right (Mr. President)
[01:33.74] We're too fragile to start another fight
[01:35.75] (But sir do we not fight for freedom)
[01:38.02] Sure, when the French figure out who's gonna lead 'em.
[01:40.28] (The people are leading!)
[01:41.55] The people are rioting, there's a difference
[01:43.81] Frankly it's a little disquieting
[01:45.32] You would let your ideals blind you to reality
[01:47.60] Hamilton? (Sir) Draft the statement of neutrality.
[01:51.12] Did you forget Lafayette? (What?)
[01:53.40] Have you an ounce of regret?
[01:55.18] You accumulate debt, you accumulate power
[01:57.69] Yet in their hour of need you forget.
[02:00.21] Lafayette's a smart man he'll be fine,
[02:02.48] And before he was your friend he was mine.
[02:04.74] If we try to fight in every revolution in the world
[02:07.25] We never stop, where do we draw the line?
[02:09.27] So quick witted
[02:10.27] Alas, I admit it
[02:11.57] I bet you were quite a lawyer
[02:12.57] My defendants got aquitted
[02:13.83] Yeah, well someone oughtta remind you (What?)
[02:16.85] You're nothing without Washington behind you.
[02:19.14] (Hamilton) Daddy's calling
