1
00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:01,267
Meryl Streep:
Hey, everybody.

2
00:00:01,267 --> 00:00:03,269
You're watching
West Wing Week.

3
00:00:03,269 --> 00:00:05,505
Narrator: Welcome to the
West Wing Week, your guide

4
00:00:05,505 --> 00:00:07,507
to everything that's
happening at 1600

5
00:00:07,507 --> 00:00:08,508
Pennsylvania Avenue.

6
00:00:08,508 --> 00:00:10,643
This week, the President
talked with podcast star

7
00:00:10,643 --> 00:00:13,747
Marc Maron in Los Angeles,
spoke with mayors at a

8
00:00:13,747 --> 00:00:17,417
conference in San Francisco,
and hosted a LGBT reception,

9
00:00:17,417 --> 00:00:19,085
back in the People's house.

10
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:21,287
The first lady wrapped
up her trip to Europe.

11
00:00:21,287 --> 00:00:23,423
And the Supreme Court
issued a landmark decision,

12
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:25,525
ensuring millions of
Americans will continue

13
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:27,527
to receive tax credits that
make their health insurance

14
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:28,695
more affordable.

15
00:00:28,695 --> 00:00:31,331
That's June 19th
- June 25th, or --

16
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:32,298
The President: Five
years in, this is

17
00:00:32,298 --> 00:00:33,533
no longer by the law.

18
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,135
This is Healthcare
In America.

19
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:37,704
On Friday, the First Lady
stopped by United States

20
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:40,373
army garrison, the census
family day, as partner for

21
00:00:40,373 --> 00:00:42,542
Joining Forces initiative.

22
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:46,546
There was a barbecue, a
dramatic reading of don't

23
00:00:46,546 --> 00:00:50,350
play with your food, and a
surprise baby shower for the

24
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:52,552
military base's
mothers to be.

25
00:00:52,552 --> 00:00:55,555
Mrs. Obama: We know how much
you guys do for us, and we

26
00:00:55,555 --> 00:00:57,791
want you to know we've got
your backs, while you're

27
00:00:57,791 --> 00:01:00,627
going through this
part of your lives.

28
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:02,395
You're not alone, all right?

29
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:04,730
Narrator: Meanwhile, halfway
around the world, Marine One

30
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:07,634
flew over Los Angeles and
touched down in Pasadena,

31
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:09,302
home of the rose bowl.

32
00:01:09,302 --> 00:01:11,237
The President then drove to
his own stomping grounds,

33
00:01:11,237 --> 00:01:12,806
near Occidental College.

34
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:14,941
In a garage, tucked away
in the Highland Park.

35
00:01:14,941 --> 00:01:15,875
The President:
How're you doing?

36
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:16,342
Mark Maron:
I'm great, man.

37
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:16,976
How are you?

38
00:01:16,976 --> 00:01:17,911
The President: This
looks like fun.

39
00:01:17,911 --> 00:01:18,791
Mark Maron:
It will be good.

40
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,902
The President: How much
fun is this going to be?

41
00:01:19,902 --> 00:01:21,140
Mark Maron: Well, as soon
as I can breathe again --

42
00:01:21,147 --> 00:01:22,182
The President:
It's super fun.

43
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:23,502
Mark Maron: It's
going to be great.

44
00:01:23,502 --> 00:01:25,051
Narrator: He had a
conversation with Marc Maron

45
00:01:25,051 --> 00:01:27,787
for his podcast, titled WTF.

46
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:29,989
You can check out the
full podcast online.

47
00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:31,324
Marc Maron: Well, you
used to live around here?

48
00:01:31,324 --> 00:01:32,192
The President: I did.

49
00:01:32,192 --> 00:01:33,193
Marc Maron: Yeah?

50
00:01:33,193 --> 00:01:34,327
The President: This is --
I was explaining to folks,

51
00:01:34,327 --> 00:01:35,728
Pasadena -- these are
my old haunts, man.

52
00:01:35,728 --> 00:01:37,630
Narrator: Then, the
President left southern

53
00:01:37,630 --> 00:01:41,134
California, bound for
northern California, where

54
00:01:41,134 --> 00:01:42,969
he spoke at the United
States Conference of Mayors

55
00:01:42,969 --> 00:01:44,204
meeting, in San Francisco.

56
00:01:44,204 --> 00:01:45,271
The President: We're always
on the hunt for good ideas,

57
00:01:45,271 --> 00:01:46,639
no matter where
they come from.

58
00:01:46,639 --> 00:01:49,108
And I'm going to embarrass
Jerry for a second -- he

59
00:01:49,108 --> 00:01:52,912
took his wife, Madeleine,
a few years after they got

60
00:01:52,912 --> 00:01:57,717
married, and she took in
all the splendor, including

61
00:01:57,717 --> 00:02:01,087
Champs-Élysées, and he took
photos of garbage cans.

62
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:02,021
That's a mayor for you.

63
00:02:02,021 --> 00:02:03,890
(applause)

64
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:06,693
Narrator: On Monday, back in
D.C., the President hosted

65
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,362
an Iftar dinner, to
celebrate the Muslim holiday

66
00:02:09,362 --> 00:02:10,497
of Ramadan.

67
00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:12,632
On Tuesday, the White House
convened a summit for

68
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:14,767
citizens to come together
to discuss why addressing

69
00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:17,136
climate change is imperative
to protecting our nation's

70
00:02:17,136 --> 00:02:18,371
public health.

71
00:02:18,371 --> 00:02:21,274
There was a flurry of
online activity, as well.

72
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:23,176
On Wednesday, in Roosevelt
Room, the President

73
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:24,944
delivered remarks on the
completion on the hostage

74
00:02:24,944 --> 00:02:26,112
policy review.

75
00:02:26,112 --> 00:02:27,514
The President: Many of the
families have told us that

76
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:29,616
they, at times, felt
like an afterthought

77
00:02:29,616 --> 00:02:30,850
or a distraction.

78
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:34,587
Too often, the law
enforcement or military

79
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:38,157
intelligence individuals
they were interacting with

80
00:02:38,157 --> 00:02:40,860
were begrudging in
giving them information.

81
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,329
That ends today.

82
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:45,298
I'm making it clear that
these families are to be

83
00:02:45,298 --> 00:02:50,570
treated like what they are
-- our trusted partners

84
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:52,138
and active partners
in the recovery

85
00:02:52,138 --> 00:02:53,573
of their loved ones.

86
00:02:53,573 --> 00:02:55,642
Narrator: Then, across the
hall, in the Cabinet Room,

87
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:57,844
the President held a
U.S.-China strategic and

88
00:02:57,844 --> 00:03:00,213
economic dialogue
and consultation.

89
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:03,049
Later, the President
hosted an LGBT pride month

90
00:03:03,049 --> 00:03:06,052
reception, to celebrate our
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and

91
00:03:06,052 --> 00:03:09,122
transgender brothers
and sisters.

92
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:10,323
The President: Come on,
everyone, you're making me

93
00:03:10,323 --> 00:03:11,090
so nervous.

94
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:12,091
Come on.

95
00:03:12,091 --> 00:03:13,927
Narrator: And beforehand, he
got to meet an American hero

96
00:03:13,927 --> 00:03:16,462
in the fight for LGBT
equality, and the man behind

97
00:03:16,462 --> 00:03:18,064
the Supreme Court case.

98
00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:20,300
The President: Regardless of
what the court does, this

99
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:21,367
thing's happening.

100
00:03:21,367 --> 00:03:22,402
Let's move it.

101
00:03:22,402 --> 00:03:23,603
Narrator: On Thursday, the
Supreme Court upheld a

102
00:03:23,603 --> 00:03:25,538
critical part of the
Affordable Care Act,

103
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:27,874
protecting the tax credits
that millions of Americans

104
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:31,978
have benefited from, since
the law was enacted.

105
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:34,180
The President: Three
generations ago, we chose to

106
00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:38,451
end an era when seniors were
left to languish in poverty.

107
00:03:38,451 --> 00:03:40,353
We passed Social Security.

108
00:03:40,353 --> 00:03:44,257
Two generations ago, we
chose to end an age when

109
00:03:44,257 --> 00:03:45,658
Americans in their golden
years didn't have the

110
00:03:45,658 --> 00:03:47,293
guarantee of health care.

111
00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:50,330
Medicare was passed, and it
helped millions of people.

112
00:03:50,330 --> 00:03:53,733
This generation of Americans
chose to finish the job.

113
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:56,169
To close the books on
history, where tens of

114
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:58,638
millions of Americans had
no help of finding decent,

115
00:03:58,638 --> 00:03:59,872
affordable health care.

116
00:03:59,872 --> 00:04:03,009
We chose to write a new
chapter, where, in a new

117
00:04:03,009 --> 00:04:06,946
economy, Americans are free
to change their jobs, or

118
00:04:06,946 --> 00:04:10,683
start a business, chase a
new idea, raise a family,

119
00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:13,453
secure in the knowledge that
portable, affordable health

120
00:04:13,453 --> 00:04:16,789
care is there for us,
and always will be.

121
00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:18,291
So, this was a good
day for America.

122
00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:20,827
Let's get back to work.

123
00:04:20,827 --> 00:04:21,961
(applause)

124
00:04:21,961 --> 00:04:23,730
Narrator: So, stay engaged
with us online, and

125
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:25,798
remember, you can find out
more information about any

126
00:04:25,798 --> 00:04:28,101

128
00:04:29,535 --> 00:04:31,838
Thanks so much for checking

129
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:32,872
West Wing Week.

130
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,740
The President: Yeah.

131
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,308
Flowers.

132
00:04:36,676 --> 00:04:37,944
There's so many.

133
00:04:37,944 --> 00:04:40,442
Female Speaker: (inaudible)

134
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,240
The President:
(inaudible) Yeah.

135
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,620
(inaudible) Look at that!

136
00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:53,088
Look what you did.

137
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,413
Look what you did.
