Sam Richardson (Richard on Veep) joins Matt and Tim to recap the first episode of season 4 of Veep.

Summary: Twenty-four hours before Selina's first major speech as President, her staff frantically tries to work out how she can say two completely opposite things (cuts in the military/spending on the Families First bill) at the same time.
