  • 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,760 So you talk about, in the book, also the night

  • that gay marriage passed.

  • And this is a great story.

  • Yeah.

  • One of the interesting things--

  • I bring it up to talk about just how vastly different

  • one day could be in the White House

  • during our administration.

  • And the day that Barack and I went to the funeral

  • where he famously sang Amazing Grace.

  • We were at that funeral, but we flew back.

  • In that same day, marriage equality was passed.

  • And--

  • [CROWD CHEERING]

  • that same day.

  • 00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:46,600 And we're in the White House.

  • And when you're in the residence,

  • there's so much bullet-proof glass

  • that sometimes you don't hear what's going on outside.

  • And we were having dinner.

  • And we were listen-- we knew that there was celebration

  • happening, but we didn't realize that thousands of people

  • were gathering in front of the White House

  • at that time to celebrate.

  • And my staff was calling me.

  • Everybody was celebrating and people were crying.

  • And I thought, I want to be in that.

  • Also, we had worked to make sure that the White House was lit up

  • in the LGBT colors.

  • So the White House was--

  • It was so beautiful.

  • --in whole rainbow.

  • It was beautiful.

  • So we had made that plan and I was sitting and watching it

  • on TV, and realizing, I'm living this.

  • I said, I have to break out of this.

  • I want to go outside and I want to be

  • a part of that celebration.

  • So I had the bright idea, I'm going outside.

  • OK?

  • So I tried to find some partners.

  • So I went to Barack's office and I said, we should go outside.

  • And he was like, babe, I've got too much stuff to do.

  • I can't go out.

  • And he's like, you know I can't walk outside.

  • Come on.

  • Get out of my office.

  • Yeah.

  • 00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:02,410 I go to Sasha.

  • I said, you want to come outside with me and see the house?

  • Its colors?

  • Let's celebrate.

  • And she's like, no.

  • I'm watching [MIMICKING].

  • 00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:13,120 I went to Malia's room, and I said, come on, go with me.

  • And she says, OK.

  • I'm down.

  • So it's me and Malia.

  • And we're trying to get out of the White House.

  • And realize that it's not that easy to get out

  • of the White House when you're in it, but we were determined.

  • And I said, we are not listening to anyone.

  • We are going to walk out that door, you and me.

  • So you come out of the residence and there's an elevator.

  • And there's usually an agent right there.

  • And when you come out, they whisper our code names,

  • they're moving.

  • And I'm like, dang.

  • They know we're moving.

  • Let's not take the elevator.

  • Come on, you and me.

  • Go down the stairs.

  • So we rush down the stairs.

  • And you can see the agent thinking, why are they running?

  • And he doesn't quite know what to do,

  • so he starts following us.

  • And I'm like, run faster, run faster.

  • And we go down the steps and we go

  • to the front door, the north portico door, which

  • faces Pennsylvania Avenue.

  • And I'm just thinking, I'm going to walk out.

  • So we go to the door and the door's locked.

  • So now there are many people behind us.

  • The uniformed policemen, the usher

  • who's in charge of the house, and they

  • don't know what to do, right?

  • And they're like, uh, ma'am?

  • Where are you going?

  • I said, I'm going out.

  • We're going out.

  • We're going outside.

  • And they're watching because-- and they're

  • calling in more people, she's trying to get out.

  • She's trying to get out.

  • And Malia's like-- she's pumped up.

  • She's like, we're going to do this, mom.

  • You get out.

  • You get out.

  • But the door is locked.

  • And then the usher says, ma'am, um, if you walk out there,

  • you will be on camera in front of the nation.

  • Now I'm in ripped up shorts and a t-shirt.

  • No shoes on, no makeup.

  • And I thought, hmm.

  • You have a point.

  • 00:03:54,090 --> 00:03:56,890 I don't want to be on that clip looking like this.

  • But eventually, the happy news was that we got out.

  • Malia and I walked outside.

  • It took 15 minutes to get outside.

  • And we stood along with all the cheering crowd.

  • Off to the side, mind you, so no one would see us,

  • with security surrounding us.

  • And we tried to have our tender mother-daughter moment.

  • But we just took it in.

  • I held her tight and my feeling was, we are moving forward.

  • Change is happening.

  • That's beautiful.

  • That's so good.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,760 So you talk about, in the book, also the night
