1 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: In this episode of News World. In the new documentary Millennia, 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: we are treated to an intimate portrait and a very 3 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: rare look into the life of Milania Trump, exploring her 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: role as First Lady and her relationship with President Trump. 5 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: The documentary was directed by Brett Ratner and follows missus 6 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Trump for twenty days leading up to inauguration Day January twentieth, 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Milania has broken box office records in 8 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: its first week in theaters. Here to discuss the film, 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: I'm really pleased to welcome my guest, Mark Beckman. He's 10 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: a producer of Millennia, author of Some Future Day, How 11 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: AI Is Going to Change Everything, and the CEO of 12 00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: Advertising Powerhouse DMA United. Mark, Welcome and thank you for 13 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: joining me in News World. 14 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: Mister speaker, it's an honor to be here today. I 15 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: am so grateful to meet you and to share this 16 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 2: stage with you today. It's incredible. 17 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: Before we get into the film itself, I have to 18 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: say you have quite a background. You are doing a 19 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: wide range of things, and you obviously have a very 20 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 1: open sense of curiosity about how things work. 21 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: I feel blessed that I'm curious at this point in 22 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: my life. I think that a lot of people when 23 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: they reach their fifties look at the world and might 24 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: categorize their work as a job. But it's the curiosity 25 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: that keeps my engine driving. I don't think that's a skill. 26 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: I think I'm just blessed to be curious. 27 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: It's a good thing to have as a genetic trait. 28 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Malania long before this film. 29 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: That's right. So I've been working with Malania Trump now 30 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: for almost twenty five years, since before Baron was born. 31 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: My role with her the title is exclusive senior Advisor, Agent, producer, 32 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: but the reality is all of those titles mean nothing. 33 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: What we do together is I work with her to 34 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: create her foundation from a branding perspective, and then from 35 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: there we stand up three pillars. Mister Gingrich, it's all 36 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: of her commercial work, so behind the scenes, I'm the 37 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: person who handled the negotiation for this record breaking movie deal, 38 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: as well as her best selling book, the digital assets, 39 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: even the Christmas ornaments, which mean a lot to us. 40 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: We handle all of the philanthropy and humanitarian work. So 41 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: the foster care work that we've been building together for 42 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: a long time is honestly the best work I do, 43 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 2: and all of her communications, and it's this type of 44 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: new model driving force that I think will potentially shift 45 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: the mindset of a typical politician's branding. I think we're 46 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: reaching this moment in time where people need to see 47 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: how they can move away from traditional marketing, particularly for 48 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: those on the conservative side, where still communications are limited. 49 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: We often speak in a bubble to leveraging new commercial endeavors, 50 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: media and beyond. 51 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: Given that background, where did the notion come up to 52 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: do the twenty days leading up to the inauguration? 53 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: So we think this is a very important story. It's 54 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: never been told before by anyone, notwithstanding the fact that 55 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: our nation is in our two hundred and fiftieth year now, 56 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: and for a long time we've wanted to build in 57 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: the medium of film, but we weren't ready to go 58 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: ahead and sell her life story. She's still very young, 59 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: she's got a lot to accomplish. Hopefully you've seen what 60 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: she's been working on over the past year. So we 61 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: thought this was an interesting story to tell. Well, we 62 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 2: looked at it through a lens that's unprecedented. Nobody has 63 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: seen what it takes to be a mother, to be 64 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: a daughter, to be a wife, to go from private 65 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: life back into the public life to march forward and 66 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: put their nation on the world stage for this very 67 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: very important moment in time, the United States presidential inauguration. 68 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: We like to break ground. Millennia Trump and I are 69 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: groundbreaking people. We don't work by a playbook. We try 70 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: to stand on our own for everything we do. And 71 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: we thought, since this story has never been told, this 72 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: was the moment in time to do it. 73 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: When did you think this up? 74 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: So, notwithstanding the fact that we spoke about creating a 75 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: film for a long time, we had a very condensed 76 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: period to execute on this. So they won the election, 77 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: and that's when everything went full throttle. I started the 78 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: negotiation process with the streamers, and it was a bunch 79 00:04:55,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 2: of them, Amazon, Netflix, Paramounts. Disney was involved as well well. 80 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: And while I was doing that, I started to have 81 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 2: conversations with potential partners to direct the film. You mentioned 82 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: that we had Brett Ratner come in in the end, 83 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: and then we also needed to build an entire team 84 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 2: around the director. It was literally from November when we 85 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: thought of the idea till January when we stopped filming. 86 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: Everything happened within that condensed time period. 87 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: It's interesting to me that you were able to get 88 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: all the major streaming systems to compete against each other. 89 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 2: It was a remarkable feat, especially considering the fact, as 90 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: you know, or as you can imagine, after the first 91 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 2: administration after forty five, the idea of me getting on 92 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: the phone and pitching a film for the former first 93 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: Lady at that point in time was taboo. We were alone. 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: It was her and me in the trenches, and it's 95 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 2: not like picking up the phone and saying, hey, my 96 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: client is Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. It's a very 97 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: different experience. Also with a big fear of being cancer 98 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 2: back then, speaker. So it was a remarkable feat. Everybody 99 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: was interested. What I learned, which I think you'll find 100 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: compelling to actually, I hope you do, is that during 101 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 2: that process, they all said to me, we have been 102 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: ignoring half the country for too long, and it's time 103 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: for us to look at this. They looked at it 104 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 2: through a commercial lens, of course, but they realized, they admitted, 105 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: they've been ignoring us. They've been ignoring our families, they've 106 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 2: been ignoring our peers. 107 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: Something happened when President Trump was able to survive two impeachments, 108 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: for lawsuits, two assassination attempts. There's some point where suddenly 109 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: many of the elites said, you know, he's just a fact. 110 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if I like him or I don't like him. 111 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: He is a fact. We've seen this in Europe. We 112 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: were out DeVos in the world economic for him when 113 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: the president was there, and I could since in listening 114 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: to Europeans it wasn't that they liked him particularly, but 115 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: they had concluded that he was unavoidable and that therefore 116 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: he had to do with it. And I think that 117 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: that was sort of came out of winning in twenty 118 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: four to change things. But I'm curious you mentioned Brett 119 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: Ratner ended up directing. He does blockbusters like Rush Hour 120 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: or X Men the Last Stem. Isn't this a totally 121 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: different artistic challenge. 122 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 2: Yes, and that's why we ended up selecting him. His 123 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: box office receipts are impressive. I think they amount to 124 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: almost two billion with these incredible movies that you mentioned. 125 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: But for us, we did not want to create a documentary. 126 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: We wanted to create a visual and sonic experience for 127 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: the audience that is completely new as well. In fact, 128 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: some people have said and written that we've broken the 129 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: genre of documentary because never does the First Lady sit 130 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: like a talking head with an empty warehouse behind her. 131 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: Brett assembled a first class team, the team of photographers, 132 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 2: for example, we have two Oscar Award winners. It's a 133 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 2: stunningly gorgeo just visual representation, and the music is best 134 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 2: in class. In fact, we open with the Rolling Stones, 135 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: we move into other songs like Elvis, Michael Jackson. It's 136 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: an incredible range of music that we bring in. And 137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: this is why it was important for us also to 138 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: negotiate a deal where it launched for a long period 139 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: of time exclusively in theaters worldwide. We want people to 140 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: have that gorgeous theatrical experience that you know, so many 141 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: of us have missed out on as of late. So 142 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: we're getting people back in the theaters and it's exciting, 143 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: and I think that unique experience that we wanted to 144 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: create was perfectly executed by Brett Ratner as director. 145 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: As I understand it, Ratner actually gets her to sing 146 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: a song in the car. How does that happen? 147 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: I prefer not to give away all of our secret sauce, 148 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: but Brett and the First Lady had established a relationship 149 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: that is and still maintain a relationship that's built on 150 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: trust and when you're with someone so close. We worked 151 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: literally for twenty days together, traversing her residences in New 152 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: York City and Palm Beach, eventually back into the White House, 153 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: interacting with family, building the First Lady's office, interacting with 154 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 2: foreign leaders like Bridget McCrone and Queen Rainia. So at 155 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: some point the trust is there and you have some 156 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: fun and the First Lady is she's a wonderful person, 157 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: but she's also a fun person, and she let her 158 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: guard down a few times, and Brett shine the light 159 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: on it at that moment. 160 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: You really took a big gamble in opening in theaters. 161 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: It's something I think I would have been very very 162 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: cautious us about, and you've had a great response so far. 163 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: Were you confident that you could get people to come 164 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: to theaters? 165 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 2: No, but I felt very confident at the end of 166 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: the day. There were so many times where the First 167 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: Lady and I would talk to each other and say like, 168 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: is it good? Is it good? At the end of 169 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 2: the day, I felt confident knowing that I could stand 170 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: behind this film one hundred percent. I know that we 171 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: created something that is really unique, and we give the 172 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: viewers something that they've never seen before. We give them 173 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: access to this individual's life, this person, Milania Trump, who 174 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: as everybody knows, is very selective with when she speaks 175 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 2: and who she meets with. So we give them access 176 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: to her family, her business, her philanthropy, and becoming first 177 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: Lady of the United States again in a way that 178 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: she's never shared before. And it's also an important film 179 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: for our nation's history. So a lot of people say, like, oh, 180 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: you know, the fashion, the fashion, it's incredible, but the history, 181 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 2: the historic relevance here, to me is the most important aspect. 182 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: So I stand behind that all day long, and we 183 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: see that. Fortunately, the consumer sentiment has been first class. 184 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: In fact, today we learned the first Lady, and I 185 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 2: learned that it has a higher ranking now than Shortshank 186 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: redemption as far as consumer sentiment goes. So I'm so 187 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: proud of that. 188 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: Well, that's amazing. That's a remarkable tribute both to her 189 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: and to the film. I'm curious, though, then, you knew 190 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: her long before they came down the escalator and announced 191 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: they were running. All of that must have led to 192 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: some significant evolution and who she is because in some 193 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: ways she's ultimately private, and then you can't be first 194 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: Lady and not be part of the national dialogue and 195 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: a national coverage. Do you think she has changed much 196 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: since you first knew her. 197 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: I'll tell you her core values, her rates have remained 198 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 2: the same. She's always a very positive, highly motivated, hardworking individual, 199 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 2: prioritizes family first always. What's changed, though, for her as 200 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: well as for me, and I'm willing to bet for 201 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: you as well, is that with age and experience brings 202 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: a heightened level of wisdom. And it's that wisdom that 203 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: I've seen evolve in a major way. 204 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: When you try to explain to people who don't know her, 205 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: what do you think they most often get wrong about her? 206 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: I think that they have no idea the level of 207 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: commitment she has towards her family. She's one of the 208 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 2: most committed mothers, daughters and wives that I know. The 209 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 2: second thing that I would say is that people just 210 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: don't understand this person's work ethic. Milania Trump works twenty 211 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 2: four to seven. She outpaces in many ways the President. 212 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: She and I I have not taken a day off 213 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: now for holidays, for weekends for anything since we launched 214 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: the book, which goes back years now. She's definitely one 215 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: of the most hardworking people. And then finally for your audience, 216 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 2: I think they'll appreciate this. She's very proud to be 217 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 2: First Lady. She takes her role as the nation's first 218 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 2: Lady with the utmost level of seriousness. She's very proud 219 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: of putting our country on the stage and the highest 220 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: level possible with perfection. She participates in every detail. She 221 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: loves doing business. But she's already talking to me this 222 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 2: morning about Easter twenty twenty six, and that's a great 223 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: American tradition. In the White House, and she gets involved 224 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: in every detail. People don't realize it if it's a 225 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: state dinner, every detail. That's something that most people don't 226 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: know about her. 227 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: She's champion some initiatives which have been pretty significant to 228 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 1: take it down Act, Foster Care reform, the Presidential AI challenge. 229 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: Why are technology, children's safety, and education such core priorities? 230 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: For her? It ties back into her love of our country. 231 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: She sees that artificial intelligence and other types of emerging technologies, 232 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: including cryptocurrency and blockchain, can fundamentally change the world and 233 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: if we don't stay at the forefront, it can put 234 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: America's next generation into a situation that could damage us 235 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: as a nation. So she's been very committed since leaving 236 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: after the forty five presidency to all of these types 237 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 2: of technologies, and she just keeps hitting it over and 238 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: over again. In fact, just a few weeks ago, she 239 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: held an artificial intelligence workshop for students in America K 240 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 2: through twelve with the CEO of Zoom for an hour 241 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: that had two thousand American schools participate. You mentioned the 242 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: AI presidential Challenge. We're very proud we have participants committed 243 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: from every single state, all fifty states, plus Washington, DC 244 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: and Puerto Rico. And she'll continue to push forward so 245 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: that our next generation of leaders have the ability to 246 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: keep America at the forefront. 247 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: She came here as a legal immigrant, of course, but 248 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: nonetheless as part of that long migration that has made 249 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: America so unique, and yet she clearly has become totally 250 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: an American and identifies, I think, in every way as 251 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: an American, which I think fits perfectly with sort of 252 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: our two hundred and fiftieth anniversary that is part of it. 253 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: How much of that do you think goes into the 254 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: experience of the movie in the sense that you're looking 255 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: at somebody who takes the inauguration very seriously, and who 256 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: takes her role as First Lady very seriously. 257 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: Very high level. In fact, there's a moment in time 258 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: where she is walking into the rotunda for the inauguration 259 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: and she reflects back on her experience as an immigrant 260 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: and reflects and shares with the audience about why it's 261 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: so important, why individual rights and freedom are so critical, 262 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: and how her immigrant story inspired her. So it's a 263 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 2: moment in the film which is really poignant. And then 264 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: after the actual inauguration ceremony, mister Speaker, she and the 265 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: President walk through Congress with a tradition that you probably 266 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: have experienced as well, the Congressional luncheon and whatnot, and 267 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: she further reflects on the heaviness of that moment as 268 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: an immigrant to our country, because she's standing in those 269 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: halls and conducting this tradition as an American. And then 270 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: there are moments in time that are a little bit 271 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: lighter too. For example, there's a great scene where she's 272 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: preparing to design in the White House with the woman 273 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 2: that helps her get the incoming the Trumps the first 274 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 2: family to get them ready with all of their rooms 275 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 2: and their bedding and everything. And it's an interesting scene 276 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: because the two of them are immigrants. Tam the designer, 277 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 2: is from Laos, and she talks back about how proud 278 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 2: she is as an immigrant, how her parents would be 279 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: so impressed with the fact that she's working with the 280 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: first Lady of the United States to help the incoming 281 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 2: First family get back into the White House. So that 282 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: theme is a big part of the film. 283 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: Part of the complexity that you had to film was 284 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: the fact that the extremely cold weather led us to 285 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 1: have the inaugural inside, as we also had with Ronald 286 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 1: Reagan in nineteen eighty four. That led to all of 287 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: the leadership being outside and then being inside. It was 288 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: quite comforted. That must have also made filming very complicated. 289 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: I think it feels like the coldest day of my life. 290 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: That whole time period was just freezing. And it's interesting 291 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 2: see in the scene there's this in the movie. Rather, 292 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: there's a scene leading up to that moment in the 293 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: rotunda where the First family sits down. This is really, 294 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: again one of these unprecedented moments. If you're curious as 295 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: to how the Secret Service is going to work with 296 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 2: the incoming first family right after two assassination attempts. It's incredible. 297 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: So they're planning the inauguration procession, the parade outdoors through Washington, 298 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: d C. But then we need to shift last minute. 299 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: This was a last minute moment inside into the rotunda, 300 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: which was incredible. As you mentioned, to be in that 301 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 2: room was just so historic. I feel so lucky you 302 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: have experienced that. But what happens is there are new 303 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: configurations with regards to where all of the former presidents 304 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 2: and former First Ladies are stationed beforehand. Our cameras are 305 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: right there at backstage. This is not like a c 306 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 2: Span moment where we get, for example, first hand looks 307 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: at what President Biden and Kamala Harris their interaction together 308 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: before they walk in, before they're announced. We have the 309 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: First Lady in the green room in the rotunda as 310 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: her family as Baron is coming out. So the experience 311 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 2: in the rotunda was just so historical, so special. But 312 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: our access is unparalleled. Again, one hundred percent of the 313 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 2: film that we shot is from our cameras. We don't 314 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: recycle anything. There's no c Span footage or anything like this. 315 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: So cameras on President Obama, on President Clinton, on President Bush. 316 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 2: The whole backstage procession is really cool. 317 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: There are some really powerful emotional moments in the film. 318 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: At one point, the First Lady discusses her mother's death, 319 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: which was a year before filming the documentary on January ninth, 320 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. How does it affect the film to 321 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: have that kind of candor and that kind of open emotion. 322 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of the most poignant moments in the film. 323 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: It just so happened. We had the cameras running for 324 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: twenty days and there's only one take, right. This is 325 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: not scripted in this instance, it worked out. It was 326 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: President Carter's funeral in DC, which you might remember, it 327 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 2: was the anniversary of her mother's passing. Happened to occur 328 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 2: on that same day, So soon thereafter, the First Lady 329 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: boarded a plane, flew back to New York City, went 330 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 2: to Saint Patrick's Cathedral and lit a candle and honor 331 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 2: in respect of her mother. I could tell you that 332 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: I've received so many notes from daughters all over the 333 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 2: world saying how their mother, they cherish their mother, and 334 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: how this moment means so much to them this mother 335 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: daughter moment. It's pretty remarkable. 336 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: Given sort of the magic of that twenty days, there 337 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: was a remarkably good time to be totally on the inside, 338 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: and given the reaction you're getting from audiences, can you 339 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: imagine sort of Milania too. 340 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 2: Commercially, we have a strategy. We built out Muse Films, 341 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: which is her production company. And to keep in mind, 342 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 2: all we did here was licensed these twenty days of 343 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 2: her life to Amazon. We still have all of the 344 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 2: rights to her life story, her New York Times thirteen 345 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: week best selling book, and that best selling book. Speaker 346 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: Gingrich ends after the forty five presidency, so we have 347 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 2: the four years after that and then this forty seventh presidency, 348 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 2: So I fully anticipate we're going to create more stories 349 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: that will hopefully captivate people the way this film is. 350 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with the fact that you were there 351 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: for twenty days. It was truly cinema verita interest sense 352 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 1: of true cinema. At the same time, you must have 353 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 1: had an enormous mound of film. Would you then have 354 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: to edit down to an hour and forty six How 355 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: do you go through that process? 356 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you we were very focused. The first 357 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: lady came up with the concept for the film, so 358 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: she's the creative director, but she participated in the production 359 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: as well as the post production. I'm really proud to 360 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: share that when you talk about her attention to detail, 361 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 2: she managed the edits, the color correction, the song selection. 362 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: She created this global ad campaign that you're seeing run 363 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: across almost every continent, thirty cities, the trailer, the television commercials, 364 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: the radio spots, even foreign language radio spots. She's changing 365 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: the voice if she doesn't like them. She's changed voices 366 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: in Eastern Europe to make it a little bit better. 367 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: But as it relates to unpacking this story, there's so 368 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 2: much more to her life that we wanted to share, 369 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: and this is why the film's docu sary exists. So 370 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 2: we're coming out with a docuseriies this summer and it's 371 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 2: going to allow for us to share a little bit 372 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: more about her family, her business, her philanthropy. We could 373 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: unpack the story in a different way. It's going to 374 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: stand on its own. It's not a companion piece, so 375 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: we're going to tell the story differently. And then almost 376 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,160 Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the footage is not in the film. 377 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 2: It all stands on its own and we're proud of 378 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: that too. 379 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: Part of what I'm getting from this conversation, and You've 380 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: been very open and I think very hopeful. She really 381 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: has a complete life, which in many ways transcends being 382 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: first Lady. She's really a larger figure in terms of 383 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: her activities, her interests than most of our first ladies of. 384 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 2: Had, that's for sure. I think if you look at 385 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 2: her achievements this first year as first Lady, you started 386 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 2: to rattle them off, but it reflects that. So of 387 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: course the private sector work, as it relates to foster care, 388 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: as it relates to commercial endeavors, they're great. But you 389 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 2: mentioned some of the work she's done in the White House. 390 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 2: She does this on her own. This isn't coordinated with 391 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 2: the West Wing. She leads it. So we have new 392 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: legislation and the Take It Down Act, an executive order 393 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: signed that she championed through for foster care children. She 394 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: secured thirty million dollars to allocate towards the HUD budget 395 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: for foster care individual housing. She reunified not once, but 396 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: twice Ukrainian and Russian children with their families. As you mentioned, 397 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: she's leading the Education and AI initiative. We are launching 398 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: a global coalition with the United Nations called Fostering the 399 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 2: Future Together. She announced it at Unga, but the inaugural meeting, 400 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 2: which we haven't announced yet to the public, the inaugural 401 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 2: meeting at the White House is going to happen on 402 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 2: March twenty fifth, and we've put together, mister Gingrich, incredible 403 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: nations that are already signed on they're participating, including nations 404 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 2: like Israel, France, Canada. The list goes on and we'll 405 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: probably end up with about one hundred nations that participate. 406 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: This work of hers is transcending anything foolish like fashion magazines, 407 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: anything trite like negative press or anything like this. She's 408 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 2: a very focused person. She's evolving. I think the office 409 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: of First Lady. 410 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: I get the sense from you that we're dealing here 411 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: with a complete person who is smart enough and energetic enough, 412 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: and has learned enough that she can actually carve out 413 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: a unique niche, part of which is First Lady, but 414 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: a significant part of which is doing the things Millennia 415 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: believes in entirely. 416 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that this movie inspires gen Z, this 417 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: next generation of let's say college aged women, to see 418 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 2: you can have an incredible committment to your family life 419 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: and really get a lot out of being a family 420 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: oriented person, but then also be very successful with your 421 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 2: career life. It's interesting speaker getting rich if you think 422 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: about it. People in our generation, they've been hit so 423 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: hard from the feminist movement where it's like you have 424 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 2: to go all in in education, you have to go 425 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: all in your career, and all of a sudden people 426 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 2: are looking back and saying, well, now I don't have 427 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: a family. Well, the first Lady is able to really 428 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 2: showcase both of these elements, great family and great career, 429 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: and I'm hoping that's one of the byproducts of this 430 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: film as it relates specifically to the college aged women. 431 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: I think that's a very important point. And I think 432 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 1: if she can bridge that gap to give hope that 433 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: you can have a full life, I think that may 434 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: reduce a lot of the pessimism that we're currently seeing 435 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: from younger people who seem to be almost overwhelmed by 436 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they're going to do with 437 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: their lives. 438 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: I agree. 439 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: I must say Mark that you bring to it a 440 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 1: of knowledge and a range of experience. I am an 441 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: understanding of the First Lady. That is very very cool. 442 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: I wish you very well with your continued theater exposure. 443 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: I think you're going to do unbelievably well once it streams. 444 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 1: I think the number of Trump's supporters who are going 445 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: to want to watch this is going to be staggering. 446 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: I look forward to future projects that you and the 447 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: First Lady may undertake, and I hope in the future 448 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: you'll join us and chat about other things as they evolve. 449 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,239 Speaker 2: Your words are so kind and honestly so appreciated. It 450 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: means so much to hear those words uttered coming from 451 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: somebody like you, with such incredible accomplishments in your life 452 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,880 Speaker 2: and the way you've helped so many people.
