"The Regime" Victory Day (TV Episode 2024) - Kate Winslet as Chancellor Elena Vernham

Chancellor Elena Vernham : My friends, a few weeks ago, one of my goverment's top ministers, along with key members of my household retinue, conspired with a foreign-backed fifth column to assassinate me while I slept. For the past year, these individuals have weakened our economy, our government, and even my immune system, aided by meddling foreign regimes. Which is why, today, I am issuing an executive order to repay our debts, turn away American investors, and rid this country of its sick dependence on NATO's teat. My husband and I have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support we've seen across the nation this week. This is the true spirit of our people. You are the beating heart. You are the soul of everything. You are the well from which I draw strength to vanquish our enemies. I will not let you be sucked into the decadence and toxicity of America and its surrogates around the globe. For years we have suffered so they could build the global order in their image. They've provided material aid to corrupt regimes abroad. They committed and abetted mass murder and they've waged their crony capitalist war in every corner of the planet. They have told the rest of us, 'play ball, sit up straight, do as you're told and... pay... the... toll'. It's time to say enough. We will no longer be a party to their legacy of brutality. We will no longer... suffer... for their greed. It is time to show America, and the world, precisely what we are worth.
