1
00:00:02,961 --> 00:00:04,691
General Dempsey: Okay,
ladies and gentlemen, how

2
00:00:04,695 --> 00:00:05,695
are you this afternoon?

3
00:00:05,695 --> 00:00:09,125
(applause)

4
00:00:09,127 --> 00:00:11,527
Please hold
your applause for the Muppets.

5
00:00:11,528 --> 00:00:12,128
No, not really.

6
00:00:12,127 --> 00:00:13,157
Hold your applause for the
First Lady,

7
00:00:13,161 --> 00:00:14,531
who I will introduce here
in a moment.

8
00:00:14,994 --> 00:00:17,764
I'm really excited to be
here with my wife, Deanie,

9
00:00:17,761 --> 00:00:19,091
who is sitting over here.

10
00:00:19,094 --> 00:00:22,794
And we want you to know
how much we love the

11
00:00:22,795 --> 00:00:24,695
children of our men
and women

12
00:00:24,695 --> 00:00:25,695
who serve in uniform.

13
00:00:25,695 --> 00:00:26,665
You guys are terrific.

14
00:00:26,661 --> 00:00:29,291
And really, we couldn't do
what we do without you.

15
00:00:29,294 --> 00:00:31,094
So it's really a great
honor

16
00:00:31,094 --> 00:00:32,824
for me to be here today.

17
00:00:32,828 --> 00:00:35,258
And I know what you really
want to do is see this

18
00:00:35,261 --> 00:00:37,691
movie, but I do want to
see if you're awake and

19
00:00:37,695 --> 00:00:39,565
ready and alert to
watch the movie.

20
00:00:39,561 --> 00:00:43,261
So I have three questions
I want to ask you, and I

21
00:00:43,261 --> 00:00:45,591
-- if you know the
answer, just yell it out.

22
00:00:45,594 --> 00:00:48,894
So the first one is: Why
are teddy bears never hungry?

23
00:00:48,895 --> 00:00:50,365
Participant: Because
they're always stuffed.

24
00:00:50,361 --> 00:00:52,361
General Dempsey: Because
they're always stuffed.

25
00:00:52,361 --> 00:00:53,691
You're right.

26
00:00:53,695 --> 00:00:54,995
(laughter)

27
00:00:54,994 --> 00:00:57,324
What do you call a pig
that knows karate?

28
00:00:57,328 --> 00:00:58,328
Audience: Pork chop.

29
00:00:58,328 --> 00:00:58,728
(laughter)

30
00:00:58,728 --> 00:00:59,158
General Dempsey:
Pork chop.

31
00:00:59,161 --> 00:01:00,131
You guys are all over it.

32
00:01:00,127 --> 00:01:01,397
You're ready
for the movie.

33
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:05,424
And, finally, what is a
frog's favorite kind of music?

34
00:01:05,428 --> 00:01:06,498
Participant: Hip hop.

35
00:01:06,494 --> 00:01:07,364
(laughter)

36
00:01:07,361 --> 00:01:09,261
General Dempsey:
Hip hop, you got it.

37
00:01:09,261 --> 00:01:09,731
(laughter)

38
00:01:09,728 --> 00:01:11,358
Give yourselves
a round of applause.

39
00:01:11,361 --> 00:01:15,431
(applause)

40
00:01:15,428 --> 00:01:16,928
Well, I know this movie is
going to be funnier than

41
00:01:16,928 --> 00:01:18,698
the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff.

42
00:01:18,695 --> 00:01:21,195
And so what I want to do
now is introduce someone

43
00:01:21,194 --> 00:01:24,394
very special to us as a
military family, someone

44
00:01:24,394 --> 00:01:28,664
who has spent her time in
office with her husband

45
00:01:28,661 --> 00:01:30,931
making sure that we
can take care of you.

46
00:01:30,928 --> 00:01:34,958
And with that -- hi,
Bonnie -- with that as all

47
00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:36,991
the introduction she
really needs, it's my

48
00:01:36,994 --> 00:01:39,294
great honor to introduce
the First Lady of the

49
00:01:39,294 --> 00:01:41,264
United States,
Michelle Obama.

50
00:01:41,661 --> 00:01:44,191
(applause)

51
00:01:45,994 --> 00:01:47,124
The First Lady: Well,
hello, everyone.

52
00:01:47,895 --> 00:01:49,965
How are you guys doing?

53
00:01:49,961 --> 00:01:51,231
Audience: Good!

54
00:01:51,761 --> 00:01:54,391
The First Lady: Welcome
to the White House.

55
00:01:54,394 --> 00:01:56,724
Isn't this cool?

56
00:01:56,728 --> 00:01:59,298
General Dempsey, those
were some pretty good jokes.

57
00:01:59,294 --> 00:02:00,464
General Dempsey: Not bad.

58
00:02:00,461 --> 00:02:00,931
The First Lady: Not bad.

59
00:02:00,928 --> 00:02:02,398
What did you guys think of
the jokes -- pretty funny?

60
00:02:02,394 --> 00:02:02,794
(applause)

61
00:02:02,795 --> 00:02:05,365
Yes.

62
00:02:05,361 --> 00:02:07,761
Well, we're not going to
talk long because we know

63
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:10,161
why we're really here, but
I just wanted to take

64
00:02:10,161 --> 00:02:13,731
a moment to make sure you
understand why we're doing

65
00:02:13,728 --> 00:02:16,198
this, why it was so
important

66
00:02:16,194 --> 00:02:21,064
for us to make it possible for
you guys to see this movie here.

67
00:02:21,061 --> 00:02:21,761
Do you know why?

68
00:02:21,761 --> 00:02:25,391
Because we are incredibly
proud of you,

69
00:02:25,394 --> 00:02:26,494
first of all.

70
00:02:26,494 --> 00:02:29,394
I know we have military
moms and dads.

71
00:02:29,394 --> 00:02:31,624
We have some Gold
Star families.

72
00:02:31,628 --> 00:02:34,498
But most importantly, we
have our military kids.

73
00:02:34,828 --> 00:02:37,328
And I get to travel all
around the country

74
00:02:37,328 --> 00:02:39,228
and I meet a lot of kids.

75
00:02:39,227 --> 00:02:42,057
And let me tell you, I
am most impressed

76
00:02:42,061 --> 00:02:45,131
by our military kids, because I
know you guys have

77
00:02:45,127 --> 00:02:47,197
a lot on your plates.

78
00:02:47,194 --> 00:02:49,224
When your parents are
deployed, you have to be

79
00:02:49,227 --> 00:02:50,427
big boys and girls.

80
00:02:50,428 --> 00:02:51,898
You have to get
your homework done.

81
00:02:51,895 --> 00:02:53,025
You have to stay
out of trouble.

82
00:02:53,027 --> 00:02:54,427
You have to help out with
your brothers

83
00:02:54,428 --> 00:02:55,428
and sisters, right?

84
00:02:55,428 --> 00:02:57,158
You have to behave.

85
00:02:57,161 --> 00:02:58,661
You have to be
strong and brave.

86
00:02:58,661 --> 00:03:00,931
And the thing I'm always
impressed is that you do

87
00:03:00,928 --> 00:03:05,358
all this and you do it in
a way that makes us proud.

88
00:03:05,361 --> 00:03:08,091
Do you know that, that
we are so proud of you?

89
00:03:08,094 --> 00:03:09,624
You guys are heroes.

90
00:03:09,628 --> 00:03:11,928
Do you know that?

91
00:03:11,928 --> 00:03:14,128
I want you to know that.

92
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:16,157
That's why you're at the
White House, because you

93
00:03:16,161 --> 00:03:18,291
are our special
guests and our heroes.

94
00:03:18,294 --> 00:03:21,364
So we thought you should
be some of the first kids

95
00:03:21,361 --> 00:03:23,761
in the entire country that
sees one of the best,

96
00:03:23,761 --> 00:03:25,731
coolest movies
on the planet.

97
00:03:25,728 --> 00:03:27,098
(applause)

98
00:03:27,094 --> 00:03:31,364
Yes, yes.

99
00:03:31,361 --> 00:03:31,991
But guess what?

100
00:03:31,994 --> 00:03:34,194
Also, I've got another
little surprise.

101
00:03:34,194 --> 00:03:37,524
Because you were so cool,
and we wanted you to see

102
00:03:37,528 --> 00:03:39,598
the "Muppets Most Wanted,"
we thought that it would

103
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:43,824
be fun to invite an extra
special guest with us.

104
00:03:43,828 --> 00:03:47,398
And I would like to take
a moment to introduce our

105
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:52,394
extra special -- it's
Kermit the Frog, everyone.

106
00:03:52,394 --> 00:03:52,924
(applause)

107
00:03:53,094 --> 00:03:53,624
Kermit The Frog:
Oh, thank you.

108
00:03:53,628 --> 00:03:53,798
Nice to meet you.

109
00:03:53,795 --> 00:03:54,025
Thank you.

110
00:03:54,027 --> 00:03:54,657
Thank you, ma'am.

111
00:03:54,661 --> 00:03:55,291
Good to see you again.

112
00:03:55,294 --> 00:03:56,064
The First Lady: Oh, it's
wonderful to see -- oh,

113
00:03:56,061 --> 00:03:56,261
thank you, Kermit.

114
00:03:56,261 --> 00:03:56,731
Thank you so much.

115
00:03:56,728 --> 00:03:57,398
Kermit The
Frog: Thank you.

116
00:03:57,394 --> 00:03:58,194
That's what they
do in Europe.

117
00:03:58,194 --> 00:03:58,724
The First Lady:
Yes, very fancy.

118
00:03:58,728 --> 00:04:00,528
It's great to
have you here.

119
00:04:00,528 --> 00:04:02,428
Kermit The Frog: Well,
it's wonderful to be here.

120
00:04:02,428 --> 00:04:06,798
I did get to take pictures
with everybody earlier,

121
00:04:06,795 --> 00:04:08,995
but it took me a while
to get through security.

122
00:04:08,994 --> 00:04:11,324
And I still don't
understand how a frog with

123
00:04:11,328 --> 00:04:13,998
no clothes could set off

124
00:04:13,994 --> 00:04:14,894
a metal detector, but -- (laughter).

125
00:04:14,895 --> 00:04:15,695
General Dempsey: You ought
to see -- try to get

126
00:04:15,695 --> 00:04:15,895
through with this on.

127
00:04:15,895 --> 00:04:16,465
The First Lady: Yes.

128
00:04:16,461 --> 00:04:16,891
(laughter)

129
00:04:16,895 --> 00:04:17,765
Kermit The Frog:
I can imagine.

130
00:04:17,761 --> 00:04:18,731
I can imagine.

131
00:04:18,728 --> 00:04:19,458
That must be tough.

132
00:04:19,461 --> 00:04:22,331
The First Lady: Well, we
are just happy

133
00:04:22,328 --> 00:04:23,128
to have you here, and we're
so delighted.

134
00:04:24,795 --> 00:04:25,995
Kermit The Frog: Yes.

135
00:04:25,994 --> 00:04:27,294
Well, I am thrilled
to be here.

136
00:04:27,294 --> 00:04:29,564
And, by the way, I'm just
wondering, do you mind --

137
00:04:29,561 --> 00:04:31,461
we sort of know
each other.

138
00:04:31,461 --> 00:04:32,961
Could I call you Michelle?

139
00:04:33,628 --> 00:04:34,528
The First Lady:
Oh, please do.

140
00:04:34,528 --> 00:04:34,998
Please do.

141
00:04:35,227 --> 00:04:36,127
Kermit The Frog: Yes, it's
mostly because

142
00:04:36,127 --> 00:04:37,457
I have to call Miss Piggy
Her Highness.

143
00:04:37,461 --> 00:04:39,231
(laughter)

144
00:04:39,227 --> 00:04:41,257
You guys will
know what I mean when you

145
00:04:41,261 --> 00:04:41,891
see the movie.

146
00:04:42,194 --> 00:04:44,494
But I just want to say
a couple of things.

147
00:04:44,494 --> 00:04:46,924
It's true that I'm here
today because

148
00:04:46,928 --> 00:04:49,258
of all you kids.

149
00:04:49,261 --> 00:04:52,991
I always say it's not easy
being green, and that

150
00:04:52,994 --> 00:04:55,124
sometimes it's not easy
for you guys -- for your

151
00:04:55,127 --> 00:04:57,457
moms and dads who wear a
green uniform or a blue

152
00:04:57,461 --> 00:04:58,931
one or a white one.

153
00:04:58,928 --> 00:05:01,028
But you guys have to be
just as tough

154
00:05:01,027 --> 00:05:02,227
as them, you know?

155
00:05:02,227 --> 00:05:03,697
We understand
what that means.

156
00:05:03,695 --> 00:05:06,195
And kids like you are
moving from town to town

157
00:05:06,194 --> 00:05:08,924
every couple of years
sometimes, and you might

158
00:05:08,928 --> 00:05:10,458
have to keep
making new friends.

159
00:05:10,461 --> 00:05:13,561
But I know you wish your
mom and dad could be

160
00:05:13,561 --> 00:05:14,691
around more than they are.

161
00:05:14,695 --> 00:05:17,265
But because of all of you
and your -- because of

162
00:05:17,261 --> 00:05:20,731
that you're all strong and
brave and very grown up.

163
00:05:20,728 --> 00:05:22,328
And that's very cool.

164
00:05:22,328 --> 00:05:24,598
And I wish I had been that
cool when I was a tadpole.

165
00:05:24,594 --> 00:05:25,924
(laughter)

166
00:05:26,561 --> 00:05:27,531
The First Lady: Well,
Kermit, I think you're

167
00:05:27,528 --> 00:05:30,128
very cool and I think
you're very smart too.

168
00:05:30,394 --> 00:05:31,394
Kermit The Frog: Well,
thank you, thank you.

169
00:05:31,394 --> 00:05:32,994
And I think you are very nice,

170
00:05:32,994 --> 00:05:34,794
much nicer than Miss Piggy.

171
00:05:34,795 --> 00:05:35,795
(laughter)

172
00:05:36,394 --> 00:05:37,264
The First Lady: Oh, well,
that's kind of a low bar.

173
00:05:37,261 --> 00:05:37,891
(laughter)

174
00:05:37,895 --> 00:05:38,225
Kermit The Frog:
You're right.

175
00:05:38,227 --> 00:05:38,897
You're right.

176
00:05:38,895 --> 00:05:40,295
She doesn't raise
it very high.

177
00:05:43,594 --> 00:05:45,794
General Dempsey: Well, I
would like to take this

178
00:05:45,795 --> 00:05:48,865
opportunity to make a
special presentation

179
00:05:48,861 --> 00:05:50,791
to Kermit, because of what
Kermit

180
00:05:50,795 --> 00:05:52,565
has done for all of you.

181
00:05:52,561 --> 00:05:55,831
I'd like to give Kermit,
as the senior Muppet,

182
00:05:55,828 --> 00:05:58,028
a coin from the senior
military officer.

183
00:05:58,261 --> 00:05:58,861
Kermit The Frog:
Oh, my goodness.

184
00:05:59,127 --> 00:05:59,827
The First Lady: Oh, wow.

185
00:06:00,528 --> 00:06:01,458
General Dempsey: So,
Kermit, on behalf of the

186
00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:03,391
Armed Forces, and
especially on behalf

187
00:06:03,394 --> 00:06:06,264
of this group of great
soldier, sailor, airman,

188
00:06:06,261 --> 00:06:08,161
Marine spouses and
children,

189
00:06:08,161 --> 00:06:09,191
I'd like to give you this coin.

190
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:10,294
Kermit The Frog: Yes, sir.

191
00:06:10,294 --> 00:06:10,594
Oh, my goodness.

192
00:06:10,594 --> 00:06:11,164
That is wonderful.

193
00:06:11,161 --> 00:06:11,591
Thank you.

194
00:06:11,594 --> 00:06:12,724
(applause)

195
00:06:12,728 --> 00:06:18,128
I feel so
honored and I can't wait

196
00:06:18,127 --> 00:06:18,857
to show this to the gang.

197
00:06:19,194 --> 00:06:22,024
The First Lady: Well, that
is a very big privilege --

198
00:06:22,528 --> 00:06:23,128
Kermit The Frog:
It sure is.

199
00:06:23,594 --> 00:06:24,194
The First Lady: --
for a very big frog.

200
00:06:24,428 --> 00:06:25,228
Kermit The Frog: For
a very small frog.

201
00:06:25,227 --> 00:06:25,927
(laughter)

202
00:06:26,127 --> 00:06:26,997
The First Lady: Well, I
think you're pretty big.

203
00:06:26,994 --> 00:06:29,094
But this is a good time.

204
00:06:29,094 --> 00:06:30,064
Don't you think it's time

205
00:06:30,061 --> 00:06:31,331
for us to get the movie started?

206
00:06:31,328 --> 00:06:32,328
It's ready.

207
00:06:32,528 --> 00:06:33,498
Kermit The Frog:
Yes, yes, yes.

208
00:06:33,494 --> 00:06:34,994
(applause)

209
00:06:34,994 --> 00:06:37,064
And thanks
again to all of you

210
00:06:37,061 --> 00:06:39,291
military families for
everything that you do.

211
00:06:39,294 --> 00:06:40,664
You are all amazing.

212
00:06:40,661 --> 00:06:41,461
So here goes, if I may.

213
00:06:42,828 --> 00:06:44,458
The First Lady: Please.

214
00:06:44,461 --> 00:06:45,631
Kermit The Frog: I may
not be a Marine,

215
00:06:45,628 --> 00:06:47,058
but I am marine life.

216
00:06:47,061 --> 00:06:48,491
(laughter)

217
00:06:48,494 --> 00:06:49,064
I salute you.

218
00:06:49,061 --> 00:06:50,191
(applause)

219
00:06:50,194 --> 00:06:52,164
The First Lady: Oh,
thanks, Kermit.

220
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:52,661
Kermit The Frog:
See you later.

221
00:06:53,027 --> 00:06:54,697
The First Lady: And
thank you, everyone.

222
00:06:54,695 --> 00:06:55,895
Enjoy the show.

00:06:55,895 --> 00:06:58,925
We are so proud of you and
we are blessed to have you

224
00:06:58,928 --> 00:06:59,728
on our team.

225
00:06:59,728 --> 00:07:01,228
You guys have fun.

226
00:07:01,227 --> 00:07:01,927
Bye-bye.

227
00:07:02,094 --> 00:07:02,624
