Something wrong with the clip?

Eleanor Shaw:
I will do whatever is necessary to protect America from anyone who opposes her. I can't... am I the only person in this room who's been reading these NSA reports?
Congressman Healy:
I've read them.
Eleanor Shaw:
All right, then. You know... you know we are on the brink of another cataclysm, probably nuclear, on our own soil.
Congresswoman Becket:
Oh, Ellie, that's a bit extreme.
Eleanor Shaw:
And it's not from random terrorists, but from covert alliances of disaffected nations who've all been made bold by this kind of Jordan one-worlder who believes that human beings are essentially good and that our powers are somehow, I don't know, shameful or evil and never to be used. Make no mistake. The American people are terrified. They know something's coming. They can feel it. And we can either shovel them the same old shit and call it sugar or we can arm them. We can arm them with a young, vibrant Vice President. We can give them heat, energy! Give them a war hero with heart, forged by enemy fire in the desert in the dark when American lives hung on the balance!

I can't...
Am I the only person in this room
00:00:04.529 --> 00:00:06.258
who's been reading
these NSA reports?
00:00:06.465 --> 00:00:08.797
- I've read them.
- All right, then you know,
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.001
you know we are on the brink
of another cataclysm,
00:00:12.305 --> 00:00:14.332
probably nuclear, on our own soil.
00:00:14.542 --> 00:00:15.077
Oh, Ellie, that's a bit extreme.
00:00:15.977 --> 00:00:17.673
And it's not from random terrorists,
00:00:17.088 --> 00:00:20.212
but from covert alliances
of disaffected nations
00:00:20.417 --> 00:00:24.581
who have all been made bold
by this kind of Jordan one-worlder
00:00:24.788 --> 00:00:27.258
who believes that human beings
are essentially good
00:00:27.459 --> 00:00:29.029
and that our power is somehow,
I don't know,
00:00:29.495 --> 00:00:32.158
shameful or evil or never to be used.
00:00:32.365 --> 00:00:34.096
Make no mistake,
the American people are terrified.
00:00:35.169 --> 00:00:37.569
They know something's coming.
They can feel it.
00:00:38.473 --> 00:00:41.966
And we can either shovel them
the same old shit and call it sugar
00:00:42.178 --> 00:00:44.374
or we can arm them.
00:00:44.581 --> 00:00:47.847
We can arm them with a young,
vibrant vice president.
00:00:48.052 --> 00:00:51.511
We can give them heat, energy,
give them a war hero with heart,
00:00:51.724 --> 00:00:55.058
forged by enemy fire
in the desert in the dark,
00:00:55.262 --> 00:00:58.426
when American lives
hung in the balance.
00:01:16.069 --> 00:01:18.001
Give us a few minutes.
00:01:19.994 --> 00:01:22.996
Thank you.
00:01:22.999 --> 00:01:24.496
Mr. Secretary,
thank you for your time.
00:01:24.968 --> 00:01:27.999
- Thank you.
- Really appreciate it.
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:31.702
- Leona, good evening.
- Thank you, Ellie.
00:01:32.611 --> 00:01:34.876
Well, they're gonna have to make
their own decisions.
00:01:35.003 --> 00:01:37.949
I am proud...
00:01:38.553 --> 00:01:41.003
...to offer into nomination
00:01:41.289 --> 00:01:47.127
the name of the next vice president
of these United States:
00:01:47.331 --> 00:01:50.824
Raymond Shaw!
00:01:51.001 --> 00:01:52.001
A remarkable development.
Twenty-four hours ago,
00:01:53.955 --> 00:01:54.999
New York Congressman
Raymond Prentiss Shaw
00:01:54.908 --> 00:01:56.773
wasn't even being mentioned
as a possible candidate
00:01:56.977 --> 00:01:59.742
for the vice presidential nomination
four years from now,
00:01:59.947 --> 00:02:02.002
much less this current convention.
00:02:02.217 --> 00:02:05.209
Some incredible news
from the convention floor tonight.
00:02:05.455 --> 00:02:07.151
Like a long shot
catching the favorite
00:02:07.358 --> 00:02:09.001
on the back stretch
of the Kentucky Derby,
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:11.999
Raymond Shaw has overtaken
Senator Thomas Jordan
00:02:12.197 --> 00:02:15.998
to gain the vice presidential
nomination.
00:02:15.268 --> 00:02:19.999
Raymond Shaw bears the lineage
of the fabled Prentiss family dynasty.
00:02:19.001 --> 00:02:24.001
Grandson of legendary industrialist
and diplomat Tyler Prentiss,
00:02:24.001 --> 00:02:27.001
son of controversial
Senator Eleanor Prentiss Shaw,
00:02:27.851 --> 00:02:30.999
who took over the seat
vacated by her husband,
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:31.999
the esteemed John Shaw,
00:02:31.001 --> 00:02:35.999
when he died tragically
over 20 years ago.
00:02:36.429 --> 00:02:39.999
For many, Raymond Prentiss Shaw
is an enigma.
00:02:39.667 --> 00:02:41.001
The millionaire
Harvard honors student
00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:43.999
who enlisted in the infantry,
00:02:43.001 --> 00:02:47.001
refusing the officer's commission
to which he was entitled.
00:02:47.376 --> 00:02:49.999
Media-shy and reclusive,
00:02:49.999 --> 00:02:51.001
Raymond Shaw's life
was forever changed
00:02:51.001 --> 00:02:53.999
on the killing fields of Kuwait,
00:02:53.999 --> 00:02:57.999
where he won the Congressional
Medal of Honor for combat bravery.
00:02:57.523 --> 00:03:00.001
Two members of Sergeant Shaw's
famed "Lost Patrol,"
00:03:00.001 --> 00:03:03.001
PFC Edward Ingram
00:03:03.001 --> 00:03:06.626
and PFC Robert Baker III,
were killed.
00:03:06.001 --> 00:03:10.001
Their guide, a civilian contractor,
disappeared in the ambush.
