This video of my son is not political speech.
It is not someone's protected opinion.
It is a knowing lie, perverting the meaning

That is not true.
He was running toward a fallen comrade to save that man's life.
That act, which was attested to by six soldiers

(cellphone vibrates)
Sorry.
This site is well-funded, employing hundreds of people
using special-access security protocols,
where Dar Adal was spotted.
Meaning it's Agency.
Let's follow the money and find out.
Because if the Agency is financing
a domestic propaganda campaign, they're way outside the law.
Could be just the leverage we've been looking for,
put them down for real.
Maybe something good can come of this.
- Madam President-Elect. - Just a minute.
You'll want to hear this.
That was Brett O'Keefe on the phone.
He says he made the video.
He admits it now when we already know?
He says he's responding to your call to come out of hiding.
He wants to discuss it with you on his show this afternoon.
No debate, no prep, just two people talking.
His words.
Which, obviously, you don't want to do.
Of course she doesn't.
He's a freak show, completely irrelevant.
Irrelevant how?
His website gets 15 million visitors a day.
Each one of them crazy as he is.
So, we just let them
keep screaming at us without a response?
Here's a response-- the man is insane.
Saul.
We wouldn't be aware of any of this if it weren't for you.
So?
Honestly...
it's hard to listen to what's said in this room,
'cause what I'm not hearing is a plan.
"Follow the money," which...
believe me, will be much harder than you think.
That's what you'll be doing when the world rolls right over you.
'Cause you're missing it, all of you.
It's happening right now in front of your faces.
We have O'Keefe.
We have a disinformation campaign
designed to discredit the president-elect.
And as of today, we have boots on the ground...
like the protesters I had to wade through to get here.
That seem familiar to any of you?
Because it does to me.
It's what we did in Nicaragua, Chile, Congo,
a dozen other places, all the way back to Iran in the '50s.
And it does not end well for the elected regime.
You're fighting for your lives here. Do you get that?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, friends and enemies.
Welcome to a very special edition of "Real. Truth."
Special because my guest
is the next president of the United States,
Elizabeth Keane.
Welcome, Madam President-Elect.
Thank you.
So, let me ask you
what everyone is asking right now--
why are you here?
Because you invited me.
Well, I've often invited you, but, usually, you prefer
the loving arms of the mainstream media.
(chuckles)
Trust me, I have taken some beatings
- from the mainstream media. - (chuckles)
I'm here because a video was released last night
which viciously slandered my dead son.
I challenged the people responsible for making it
to show their faces, and you did.
So, here I am.
You do know it's not slander if it's true?
It's not true.
Not true.
Have you seen it?
I have-- more than a dozen times.
Perhaps I can remind you.
NARRATOR: ...Captain Keane do?
RUDY: He ran past me.
He was shouting...
ANDREW: "Out of the way! Get out of the fucking way!"
NARRATOR: Some men ran towards the fight.
Andrew Keane just ran away.
Cowardice runs in the family.
As I said, I have seen it.
And I have to ask, why would you want to make a mother--
any mother-- watch the last moments of her son's life?
I know it must be painful for you
and I-I'm sorry.
But I want to be clear about this.
You say-- You say it's not true.
Are you accusing these men of lying?
Yes, I am.
Either they're confused or they've been suborned.
What about the footage? Is it lying?
Why does it end there, on a shot of my son running away?
Because that's what he did.
But what happens next?
Six eyewitnesses testified Andrew was killed
pulling a wounded soldier out of enemy fire.
So, what happens next?
Where is the original footage?
You produced the video. You must have it.
You know why I produced the video?
To destroy the memory of my son,
to hurt me, and to damage my presidency.
No, no, and no.
I produced the video because some people--
people you call cowards, though every one of them's a veteran--
came to me with a story of injustice.
No one believed them because it involved a powerful person
with an even more powerful mother.
They were voiceless.
They were hurting.
Well, thank God they had film,
and thank God I could do my bit
to make our democracy a little more equal.
Creating false stories doesn't make democracy more equal.
It harms it deeply.
Let people see all of the film. Let them judge.
They already have.
Five million views in the first hour,
more than two million posts.
One-and-a-half million of those posts came within a minute
of the video being released.
How is that possible?
People were angry.
They felt that you tricked them, stole the election
on the back of your son's fake war record, so they responded.
People didn't respond.
That is a physical impossibility.
Those numbers exist
because a vast majority of those posts were made by bots--
digital entities pretending to be people.
Dig into those identities and you find no one--
no real names, no Social Security numbers,
no addresses, no jobs, just a stream of hate.
Dig deeper, you find many of these bots are run in a place
called the Office of Policy Coordination,
which is in a building off of I-95,
with a control center six floors underground.
Underground. An underground bunker?
- Yes. - Really?
Yes. Run out of this studio.
You didn't just produce the lying video.
You faked the hate and the lies that accompanied it.
People hate you, Madam President-Elect.
No one's faking that.
Boy, are they angry.
You know what would make them even angrier?
If they learned how your operation was funded.
- Excuse me? - If they learned you were financed
by the same establishment you claim to despise.
That is an outrageous lie!
You are not a free voice speaking truth to power.
You're a government shill.
- Now we are talking slander. - I have evidence of collusion
with serving members of the intelligence community.
It will go to the Attorney General.
You will be prosecuted. You will be shut down.
Because in my government, truth will have a value,
and you will have no place.
Wow.
Just wow.
I don't even know how to respond.
You've even got my switchboard going crazy.
Let's take a call.
Hi. You're on "Real. Truth."
BILL: Hey, there. This is Bill.
I just want to say--
Hang on, Bill.
Are you real?
What?
Are you real?

What the fuck? Yeah, man, I'm real.
You're not a-a fake, a-a-a bot?
No, I'm fucking not.
She's just trying to dodge the issue.
What is the issue, Bill?
Andrew Keane is.
I was in Iraq, okay?
Everybody knew he got special treatment
because his mama was a senator.
It didn't keep him from getting killed.
He was killed because he was a coward.
He should be dug up out of Arlington

And I'll tell you something else, for free--

Uh, like I said, people...

According to Quinn, it's a briefing post

"You will be prosecuted.
You will be shut down.
Because in my government, you will have no place."
