He asks us to trust him
as we cower behind it.
I wish I were comforted, Anthony. I really do.
I'd like to leave my door unlocked when I leave the house,
but this ain't Canada.
You know we live in a world of grave threats,
threats that Mr. Stark will not always be able to foresee.
Thank you. God bless Iron Man, God bless America.
Well said, Mr. Hammer.
The committee would now like to invite
Lieut. Col. James Rhodes to the chamber.
Rhodey?
Hey, buddy. Didn't expect to see you here.
Look, it's me. I'm here. Deal with it. Let's move on.
- I just ... - Drop it. - Alright, I'll drop it.
I have before me a complete report on the Iron Man weapon
compiled by Colonel Rhodes.
and Colonel, for the record, can you please read page 57, paragraph 4?
You're requesting that I read specific selections from my report, senator?
Yes, sir.
My understanding that I was going to be testifying in a much more comprehensive and detailed manner.
I understand, a lot of things have changed today.
You do understand that reading a single paragraph out of context does not reflect the summary of my finding?
Just read it, Colonel. I do. Thank you.
Very well.
As he does not operate within any definable branch of government,
The Iron Man presents a potential threat to the security of both the nation
and to her interests.
I did, however, go on to summarize that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the liabilities
and that it would be in our interest
to fold Mr Stark into the existing chain of command.
I'm not a joiner but I'll consider Secretary of Defense, if you ask nice.
We can amend the hours a little bit.
I'd like to go on and show, if I may, the imagery that's connected to your report.
I believe it is somewhat premature to reveal these images to the general public at this time.
With all due respect, Colonel, I understand. And if you could just narrate those for us,
we'd be very grateful.
Show the images.
Intelligence suggests that the devices seen in these photos
are in fact attempts at making manned copies
of Mr. Stark's suit.
This has been corroborated by our allies
and local intelligence on the ground
indicating that these suits are
quite possibly at this moment operational.
Hold on a second buddy, let me see.
There's something here. Oh, boy I'm good.
Now can I get more screens.
I need them. Time for a little transparency.
- Let's see what's really going on. - What is he doing?
If you'll direct your attention to said screens,
I believe that's North Korea.
Can you turn that off? Take it off.
Iran.
No grave, immediate threat here.
Is that Justin Hammer?
How did Hammer get in here?
Justin, you're on TV, focus up.
Wow. Yeah, I'd say most countries, 5-10 years away.
- Hammer Industries 20. - I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived.
I think we got the point that he's making. I don't think there's any reason...
The point is you're welcome, I guess.
- For what? - Because, I'm your nuclear deterrent.
It's working. We're safe. America is secure.
You want my property? You can't have it!
But did I you a big favor.
I've successfully privatized world peace.
What more do you want?
For now!
I'm tired of all of these ass clowns!
Fuck you Mr Stark. Fuck you buddy.
- We're adjourned, we're adjourned for today. - Okay
You've been a delight.
My bond is with the people.
And I will serve this great nation
at the pleasure of myself.
One thing I've proven is that you can count on me...
...to pleasure myself.
