00:00I'm going to make sure these bastards pay for what they've taken from you.
00:17All right, Congressman.
00:20This is the most devastating man-made environmental disaster in U.S. history.
00:25These people are the Louisiana Gulf Coast.
00:27They need our help.
00:28Even though this is British petroleum spill, it is America's ocean.
00:37That speech was a godsend.
00:40Don't promote it.
00:41This is what we've been waiting for.
00:43Today, it appears the sun is shining on a Louisiana congressman nobody knows.
00:48It is in everyone's best interest to keep American oil healthy.
00:52I'm looking to back a horse that will support our interests.
00:56What makes you think I'd do this?
00:58We'll make sure that you're in the center of it all.
01:04Colin's not going to have one solitary friend in Washington.
01:09Colin, you're not going to resign.
01:13Louisiana's always been one big family.
01:15And we don't abandon our family when they make a mistake.
01:18You don't have to be the hero.
01:22You just have to make it look good.
01:23What the hell is that supposed to be?
01:26We're in the middle of a disaster here.
01:28People are suffering.
01:29We're not just going to lay down.
01:32You're not going to win.
01:33We'll see.
01:34People are broke, sick with dispersants.
01:36You're the only one down here doing a goddamn thing for us.
01:39And I want people to know I'm going to be there for them.
01:44You are in uncharted waters.
01:47You keep risking everything that we work for?
01:51Just got to fight through it like a man.
01:55Great men.
01:56Men who build legacies.
01:57They aren't always decent.
