  Cabinet Battle #1 - Christopher Jackson&Daveed Diggs&Lin-Manuel Miranda&Okieriete Onaodowan

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  you could have been anywhere else in the world tonight,

  but you're with us here in New York City.

  Are you ready for a cabinet meeting, huh?

  The issue on the table:

  Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank.

  Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor,sir

  Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

  We fought for these ideals, we shouldn't settle for less

  These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em

  Don't act surprised, you guys, cause I wrote 'em

  But Hamilton forgets

  His plan would have the government assume states' debts

  Now place your bets as to who that benefits?

  The very seat of government where Hamilton sits

  (Not true!)

  Oh, if the shoe fits wear it!

  New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?

  Uh, our debts are paid, I'm afraid

  Don't tax the South cause we got it made in the shade

  In Virginia we plant seeds in the ground

  We create, you just wanna move our money around

  This financial plan is an outrageous demand

  And it's too many damn pages for any man to understand

  Stand with me in the land of the free

  And pray to God we never see Hamilton's candidacy

  Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky

  Imagine what gon' happen when you try to tax our whiskey

  Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response?

  Thomas, that was a real nice declaration

  Welcome to the present, we're running a real nation

  Would you like to join us? Or stay mellow

  Doing whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello

  If we assume the debts

  The union gets

  A new line of credit

  A financial diuretic

  How do you not get it?

  If we're aggressive and competitive

  The union gets a boost

  You'd rather give it a sedative?

  A civics lesson from a slaver?

  Hey neighbor: Your debts are paid cause you don't pay for labor

  "We plant seeds in the South, we create!"

  Man, keep ranting

  We know who's really doing the planting

  And another thing, mister "age-of-enlightenment"

  Don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it

  You think I'm frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench

  While you were off gettin' high with the French!

  Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the president

  Reticent, there isn't a plan he doesn't jettison

  Madison, you mad as a hatter, so take your medicine

  Damn, you in worse shape than the national debt is in!

  Sittin' there useless as two shits

  Hey, turn around, bend over, I'll show you where where my shoe fits

  Excuse me! Madison, Jefferson, take a walk. Hamilton,

  take a walk! We're gonna reconvene after a brief recess.

  Hamilton? Sir? A word

  You don't have the votes

  You don't have the votes

  A-ha-ha

  You're gonna need congressional approval and you don't have the votes

  Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder

  (Why he even brings the thunder)

  You wanna pull yourself together?

  I'm sorry these Virginians are birds of a feather

  Young man, I'm from Virginia, so watch your mouth

  Sir, we let congress get held hostage by the South?

  You need the votes

  No, we need bold strokes

  We need this plan

  No, you need to convince more folks

  Well, James Madison won't talk to me

  That's a non-starter

  Uh, winning was easy, young man

  Governing's harder

  They're being intransigent

  You have to find a compromise

  But they don't have a plan, they just hate mine!

  Convince them otherwise

  And what happens if I don't get congressional approval?

  I imagine they'll call for your removal

  Sir?

  Figure it out, Alexander

  That's an order, from your commander
