00:00Dad, get in here!
00:03What is going on?
00:05To some folks, trying to understand both sides of a conflict is un-American.
00:11Trust me, y'all. I'm as American as it gets.
00:15My name is Reality Winner. Yeah, that's my real name.
00:19The truth is, whoever the bad guys are, okay, once you spend some time with them, learn their ways...
00:27I want to help people displaced by war.
00:28You know what stops wars? The U.S. Air Force.
00:31Sorry, dude. I'm going to A&M.
00:33So, I joined the Air Force.
00:35Really? It's a joke, right?
00:37Boot camp starts the day after I graduate.
00:39And then I was off to Afghanistan.
00:42Yeah, I wish.
00:44They said I had to start here first, doing surveillance on the Taliban.
00:52The next two years were all...
00:54German strike in Bamiyan. Road trip with Andre.
00:55Bench 130. Killed someone's grandfather.
00:58Dude moved into my place. Killed three ISIS dudes.
01:00$500 to the Red Cross. Saw Pitch Perfect 2. Better than Pitch Perfect 1.
01:03Wonder if they'll make it a trilogy.
01:07Your job is to monitor Iranian aerospace. Everything else you need to know.
01:11What if I need to know who got eliminated on The Bachelorette?
01:14Not on office computers. But you can come ask me. I keep up.
01:17I mean, you'd at least want to look, right?
01:20Be honest.
01:24The government 100% knew the Russians hacked our voting systems days before the election.
01:30We received a report that you mishandled some classified information.
01:33You're crazy.
01:35Are you aware that your daughter hates America?
01:38My daughter isn't a terrorist.
01:39If no one ever takes a risk to try and change things, then nothing will ever change.
