FINAL OP EDIT TO POST THE VIDEO FROM YOUTUBE, THANKS TO MUCIFER'S REPLY 10 BELOW:
EDITING IN ALL CAPS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT REPLIES 5-7 BELOW HAVE LINKS FOR REACHING THE FULL 8-MINUTE VIDEO ON THE DAILY BEAST WEBSITE. BUT IF YOU'VE REACHED YOUR ARTICLE LIMIT THERE, YOU'LL HIT A PAYWALL AND NEED TO DELETE COOKIES FROM THEDAILYBEAST.COM TO GET RID OF THE PAYWALL.

Will find video asap.
No video yet, found a tweet I agree with:
Link to tweet
EDITING AGAIN to link to an article that has video of the first couple of minutes of this very long cold open (I still haven't found video of the complete cold open):

(48,731 posts)an article limit. I was able to read the full article and reach the complete 8-minute video the first time, but when I previewed the link and got to that article a second time, the paywall appeared and blocked me.
Guess I'll see if deleting cookies for that site will get rid of the paywall...
Editing to add that deleting the cookies from thedailybeast.com got rid of the paywall.

(118,022 posts)and often "this content is not available in your country" appears. When I do see a link I post it asap as it sometimes gets taken down. I saw this on the DU at https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216446957 and put it up fast. I should have attributed it to them come to think of it.

(48,731 posts)but this paywall at the Daily Beast does seem to be linked only to my having viewed other articles there recently and hitting their limit, whatever that was. As I said, deleting the website's cookies took care of that problem. And a lot of DUers might not be anywhere near their article limit.
I've seen partial clips, the first couple of minutes, of the cold open posted on a few other sites, but so far the Daily Beast has the only complete video.

(48,731 posts)when I first visited the page, but when I tried updating the OP and previewed that and checked the link, a paywall appeared.
Here's the link, in case some of you won't get the paywall:

Editing to add that if you're getting the paywall because you hit the article limit, as I did, then just delete the cookies from thedailybeast.com. I tried that just now and was able to view the page and reach the video again.
