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.

00:37Boot camp starts the day after I graduated.
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.

01:23I mean, you'd at least want to look, right? Be honest.
01:29The government 100% knew the Russians hacked our voting systems days before the election.
01:36We received a report that you mishandled some classified information.
01:39Crazy.
01:41Are you aware that your daughter hates America?
01:43My daughter isn't a terrorist.
