Two shitty fucking years

I gotta tell ya,
I don't wanna be governor
for the next two years.
I wanna get going.

I'll, I, this has been
two shitty fucking years
where I'm doing the best I can
trying to get through a brick wall
and find ways around stuff
but it's like just screwing my family
and time is passing me by
and I'm stuck, it's no good.

It's no good.
I gotta get moving.

The whole world's passing me by
and I'm stuck in this fucking job
as governor now.

Everybody's passing me by
and I'm stuck.

Nasty fucking shitty fucking press

So here, here's
the immediate challenge.

How do we take
some of the financial pressure
off of our family here?
Okay?

And then I have a personal issue
which is, I feel like
I'm fucking my children.
That's what I feel like.

The whole world's passing me by,
I'm stuck in this fucking gridlock
for two more fucking years, okay,
and nasty fucking shitty fucking press

and everything, you know,
and every asshole out there.

Screw everybody on Wednesday

Never saw myself
as more than
two terms as governor.

I'm not gonna rule out
three terms, um,
I've just never saw myself...

and, you know
election night on ah,
in 96, you know

our mantra was you know
before election night was
win on Tuesday...

I remember,
I don't know
if you guys remember this,

win on Tuesday,
screw everybody on Wednesday,
and quit on Thursday.

I did not lie to the FBI

The government threw everything
but the kitchen sink at me,
and on every charge
but one,
they could not prove that I broke any laws
except one,
a nebulous charge from five years ago.

I did not lie
to the FBI.
I told the truth
from the very beginning.

In remarks

Hey.

I need like, we have anybody
who can write anything over there?

We need to go get us
like a speech writer
or something.

Maybe some young kid
or something from college,
I don't know.

From a good school,
who'd just be a good writer.

You know, and I don't need
formal speeches, but I need
someone who just has a good sense
of what you'd wanna put in,
in remarks.

That's pretty bad, man

I mean,
you know,
I, I want,
and

the other thing is I,
it does give me pause.

She has zero support
among African Americans
and I'm gonna
make her the senator.

That's pretty bad, man.

A fucking President

So then they all leave town
and I'm left with gridlock,

a fucking pissed off speaker,
potential impeachment,

and a fucking president
who's all take and no give.

This fucking job

Look, I don't want,
look it, I gotta tell ya,
I don't wanna be governor
for the next two years.
I wanna get going.

I'll, I, this has been two shitty fucking years
where I'm doing the best I can
trying to get through a brick wall
and find ways around stuff
but it's like just screwing my family
and time is passing me by
and I'm stuck, it's no good.
It's no good. I gotta get moving.

The whole world's passing me by
and I'm stuck in this fucking job
as governor now.
Everybody's passing me by
and I'm stuck.

These fuckin' people

I mean I'll do Valerie Jarrett.

I just don't, if they,
but if they feel like they can
do this and not fuckin'
give me anything under,
just some vague assurances
or somethin'. Then I'll
fuckin' go Jesse Jr.

I mean the arrogance of these fuckin' people.

I gotta catapult

And if there's not a lot out there
just settle in on Louanner.

I mean
what if
I'm facing
an impeachment
next year.

And before the storm clouds really get serious
I can go to Louanner and say,
I gotta catapult,
I gotta parachute out of here.
I need that Senate seat.

You know she's like, she's the one
who probably can make,
you know would do that for me,
you know what I'm sayin'?

over the weekend.

Okay?

This historic fucking demi-god

Look, we talked about this
yes-, you know, several times,
but, there is nothing I coulda done
about Obama. Nothing. Right?

Other than like you say, keep him
from speaking at the convention
which is not, a-, anything
that ever crossed my mind at all.

It never does.
Huh?

I mean you got this historic, fucking demi-god.
He's a demi-god now.
At least for now.
You follow me?
