[00:59.81]The scope of this, which we're all aware of, can cloud judgment 1.
[01:03.70]I suggest we look at this in very simple terms.
[01:06.59]We have an employee, she's not working out.
[01:09.59]We fire her.
[01:10.91]It needs to be that simple.
[01:12.27]She's the vice 2 president of the United States.
[01:14.46]And that's all she'll ever be.
[01:15.52]She's plummeting 3 in the polls.
[01:18.14]If we keep her as our candidate,
[01:19.45]we're handing the presidency 4 to her opponent,
[01:22.65]and then everything we hope to gain with caroline in office--it's all gone.
[01:26.74]Fine. If we ask her to drop out,
[01:29.10]how do we know she'll keep her mouth shut on everything she knows?
[01:33.96]Samantha?
[01:39.20]Yes, sir.
[01:40.01]I need a very frank assessment 5 from you right now.
[01:42.53]Based on your contact with her, will the vice president go quietly?
[01:48.13]No. Absolutely not.
[01:50.57]Becoming president is the most important thing to her.
[01:53.28]If we take that away, she has absolutely nothing to lose.
[01:56.75]And I guarantee you,
[01:57.77]she will do everything she can to take everyone she can down with her.
[02:03.97]We need to make a move on her.
[02:06.01]Now.
