1:42:01
She has done nothing
but put herself through school...

1:42:04
...represent the interest
of public-school teachers...

1:42:07
...and lobby for the safety
of our natural resources.

1:42:10
You want a character debate?
1:42:12
You better stick with me...
1:42:14
...'cause Sydney Ellen Wade is
way out of your league.

1:42:24
I've loved two women in my life.
1:42:28
I lost one to cancer...
1:42:31
...and I lost the other
'cause I was so busy keeping my job...

1:42:34
...I forgot to do my job.
1:42:38
Well, that ends right now.
1:42:41
Tomorrow morning...
1:42:42
...the White House is sending
a bill to Congress for its consideration.

1:42:46
It's White House Resolution 455...
1:42:49
...an energy bill,
requiring a 20 percent reduction...

1:42:52
...of the emission of fossil fuels
over the next ten years.

1:42:56
It is by far the most aggressive stride
ever taken...

1:43:00
...in the fight to reverse
the effects of global warming.

1:43:03
The other piece of legislation is
the crime bill.

1:43:08
As of today, it no longer exists.
1:43:11
I'm throwing it out.
1:43:13
I'm throwing it out
and writing a law that makes sense.

1:43:17
You can't address crime prevention...
1:43:19
...without getting rid of assault weapons
and handguns.

1:43:22
I consider them a threat
to national security and I will go...

1:43:26
...door-to-door if I have to...
1:43:28
...but I'll convince Americans I'm right
and I'll get the guns.

1:43:33
We've got serious problems
and we need serious people.

1:43:38
If you want to talk about character, Bob...
1:43:40
...you'd better come at me with more
than a burning flag and a membership card.

1:43:44
If you want to talk about character
and American values, fine.

1:43:47
Just tell me where and when
and I'll show up.

1:43:50
This is a time for serious people
and your 15 minutes are up.

1:43:55
My name is Andrew Shepherd
and I am the President.
