The clip enlisting Congressmen's kids from Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) with George W. Bush

I guess I was tired of seeing people like Lila Lipscomb suffer.
Especially when, out of the 535 members of Congress...
...only one had an enlisted son in Iraq.
I asked Corporal Henderson of the United States Marine Corps...
...to join me on Capitol Hill...
...to see how many members of Congress we could convince...
...to enlist their children to go to Iraq.
Congressman, I'm Michael Moore.
Hey, Michael. How are you doing?
Good.
John Tanner, from Tennessee.
Very nice to meet you.
What y'all doing?
I'm here with Corporal Henderson.
United States Marine Corps.
Corporal, I was in the Navy.
1968 to '72.
Okay.
We had Marines guarding the base.
You have kids?
Yeah.
Is there any way we can get them to enlist...
...and go over there and help out with the effort?
I've got all the brochures.
One of them has got two children.
See, there's not many congressmen that have kids over there.
In fact, only one. You know.
So we just thought maybe they...
You guys should send your kids first.
That's right.
What do you think about that?
I don't disagree.
You don't? Oh, good. Well, take some brochures.
At least take a Marine brochure.
Thank you.
Pass it around.
Yeah, well...
Encourage the fellow members if they're for the war to get behind it.
Send their own.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.
Congressman? Michael Moore.
How you doing today?
Good.
I'm trying to get members of Congress to get their kids to enlist in the Army...
...and go over to Iraq.
Congressman.
Congressman.
Congressman Castle? Congressman Castle?
Congressman. Congressman.
Congressman Doolittle, Michael Moore.
I was wondering if...
Is there any way to...?
Of course, not a single member of Congress...
...wanted to sacrifice their child for the war in Iraq.

Heat (1995): Drucker-explains-to-charlene-the-terms

by AnyClip (2 hours ago) 5 views

The clip drucker-explains-to-charlene-the-terms from Heat (1995) with Ashley Judd, Mykelti Williamson. Powered by: Anyclip. any moment from any film. Well, lookie here. My name is Sergeant Drucker, L.A.P.D. Homicide. You wanna put Dominick in the bedroom? He stays with me. There we go. So, what now? Well, he's right, because you want out, this is out. You believe you have to betray Chris. No shit. That's right. You would have to. See, if you don't betray Chris, you victimize Dominick. Because he becomes an orphan when you go to prison as an accessory... ...because you got no living parents to take him. So he ends up state-raised in foster homes, juvenile facilities. Then he steals a car. Then he winds up in gladiator academies like Chino and Tracy. Fucked for life. You know what happens, because you've been there. Dominick didn't get a chance yet to choose his life, but Chris did. If you give up Chris, you get off clean. You can do it for your kid, so you can raise him. What else are you selling? All kinds of shit. But I don't have to sell this and you know it, because this kind of shit here sells itself.
