KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00Let's do it.
00:28It's a game of roulette with the nation's destiny.
00:31If you ask the American people, what does the vice president do?
00:33You'd probably get a shrug of the shoulders.
00:36There have been a lot of us who weren't happy.
00:37Jerry Ford said to me, Dick, it's the worst job I ever had.
00:41A vice president can't win an election, but a vice presidential pick can lose an election.
00:47If you pick a talented person, it's literally nuts not to give that person a lot to do.
00:51He made it crystal clear that he was going to back me up.
00:54I wanted to take out the nuclear reactor that the North Koreans had built.
00:58The president asked, how many of you here agree with Dick?
01:01Nobody put their hand up.
01:03Joe was opinionated.
01:04He actually wanted me to help him govern.
01:08Before Mondale, the vice president still had zero power or responsibility.
01:12So we worked out basic elements of the modern vice presidency.
01:17Are you happy in your work?
01:18Yes, I am, and I think it's really been historic up to this point.
01:24There's no question in the latter part of the 20th century, the vice presidency began to evolve.
01:29The vice presidency has become much more important, much more critical to the nation's future.
01:34As a matter of fact, I enjoy being vice president.
01:38Could I envision that person serving as president effectively?
01:41You never know when you might be called upon.
01:45That aircraft had just hit the World Trade Center.
01:47Our whole mindset had to shift.
01:49We followed Bin Laden to the gates of hell to get him.
01:53He didn't think Cheney would be the right choice.
01:55And Cheney said, I agree, and I said, I don't.
02:03The vice president is nothing but could be everything.
02:12I'll be honest with you, the immediate stories that came to my mind,
02:15I'd probably want to check off with Joe before I told him.
02:18He did the first friendship bracelet, not me.
02:22He did the first friendship bracelet, not me.
