Madam Secretary · Season 1, Episode 15

Morejon, Carpenter and others in “Unfinished Business”

Our Afghan partners are divided and weak because so-called best efforts of the Dalton administration have failed.

I'm afraid I didn't hear a question in there, Senator.

Well, isn't this Russia thing just an attempt by the president to deny blame for a failed policy?

I assure you the threat is real.

Maybe the 1fault lies with the secretary of state. She's the one that executes that policy.

I'm more interested in finding solutions than assigning blame, but the secretary can only do so much with the budget approved by this Congress. Senator Morejon, you ran your campaign on a platform of national security. So I'm asking, respectfully, for you to put your money where your mouth is.
