on the resurgence of
the American economy.

11
00:00:22,021 --> 00:00:24,961
It's September 26th
to October 2nd, or --

12
00:00:24,958 --> 00:00:25,658
The President: -- if
the body is strong --

13
00:00:25,658 --> 00:00:27,328
The Narrator: -- if
the body is strong.

14
00:00:27,327 --> 00:00:28,797
The President: -- if
communities are strong,

15
00:00:28,795 --> 00:00:32,965
if nations are strong, then
their immune systems are

16
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:33,966
a little bit stronger.

17
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,967

for all nations to prioritize
public health in light

00:00:37,971 --> 00:00:39,971
of the Ebola epidemic
in West Africa.

20
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:40,943
The President: We have to change
out mindsets and start thinking

21
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:45,110
about biological threats as
the security threats that they

22
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:47,111
are, in addition to being
humanitarian threats

23
00:00:47,113 --> 00:00:48,113
and economic threats.

24
00:00:48,114 --> 00:00:50,114
We have to bring the same
level of commitment and focus

25
00:00:50,116 --> 00:00:52,116
to these challenges as we
do when meeting around

26
00:00:52,118 --> 00:00:54,118
more traditional
security issues.

27
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,120
Narrator: Later, the president
sat down with Steve Croft

28
00:00:56,122 --> 00:00:59,322

America's role as the world's

29
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:00,595
indispensable nation.

30
00:01:00,593 --> 00:01:04,263
The President: -- when trouble
comes up anywhere in the world,

31
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:09,904
they don't call Beijing, they
don't call Moscow, they call us.

32
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:11,033
That's how we role.

33
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:12,507
Narrator: Saturday night,
the president and first lady

34
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:14,875

00:01:14,874 --> 00:01:16,774
Congressional Black
Caucus Foundation's

36
00:01:16,776 --> 00:01:17,876
Phoenix Award
Dinner.

37
00:01:17,877 --> 00:01:20,347
The President: Cynicism is very
popular in America sometimes.

38
00:01:20,346 --> 00:01:21,746
It's propagated in
the media.

39
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:23,748
But cynicism didn't put
anybody on the moon.

40
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,890
Cynicism didn't pass
the Voting Rights Act.

41
00:01:25,885 --> 00:01:28,955
Hope is what packed buses
full of freedom riders.

42
00:01:28,955 --> 00:01:30,955
Hope is what led
thousands of black folks

43
00:01:30,957 --> 00:01:33,227
and white folks to march
from Selma to Montgomery.

44
00:01:33,226 --> 00:01:37,296
Hope is what got John Lewis off
his back after being beaten

45
00:01:37,297 --> 00:01:40,537
within an inch of his life,
and chose to keep on going.

46
00:01:40,533 --> 00:01:43,473
Cynicism is a choice, but
hope is a better choice.

47
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:43,870
(applause)

48
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,710

president invited Prime Minister

00:01:45,705 --> 00:01:47,805
Narendra Modi of India to
the White House for

50
00:01:47,807 --> 00:01:49,107
their first summit.

51
00:01:49,108 --> 00:01:52,078
Then they ventured out together
on a lovely fall Tuesday to make

52
00:01:52,078 --> 00:01:54,218
a pilgrimage to one of the
newest landmarks in our

53
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:58,084
nation's capital: the memorial
to Dr. Martin Luther King,

54
00:01:58,084 --> 00:02:00,084
Jr. They pledged to push the
bilateral relationship to new

55
00:02:00,086 --> 00:02:02,886
levels, resolve issues blocking
implementation of a civil

56
00:02:02,889 --> 00:02:05,759
nuclear deal and cooperate
in counterterrorism.

57
00:02:05,758 --> 00:02:08,298
Both leaders committed to a new
mantra for their relationship:

58
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:10,964
Chalein Saath Saath,
forward together we go.

59
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:12,964
In the afternoon, the White
House announced new investments

60
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,206
in the BRAIN Initiative, a
critical research effort

61
00:02:15,201 --> 00:02:18,301
that aims to advance our
understanding of the human mind,

62
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:20,304
and our ability
to treat, prevent,

63
00:02:20,306 --> 00:02:21,876
and cure brain disorders.

64
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:24,145
Wednesday, the president met
with Israeli Prime Minister

65
00:02:24,143 --> 00:02:26,413
Benjamin Netanyahu
in the Oval Office.

66
00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:28,682
Of course there was much
on the docket to discuss,

67
00:02:28,681 --> 00:02:30,681
including relations
with the Palestinians

68
00:02:30,683 --> 00:02:32,383
and efforts to combat ISIL.

69
00:02:32,385 --> 00:02:33,725
Later, the
president welcomed

70
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,790
the 2013 MLS Champions
Sporting Kansas City.

71
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:40,159
The President: The
Royals advancing,

72
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:41,829
blew out the Patriots
the other day --

73
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:42,458
(laughter)

74
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:43,762
The President: -- so
overall, you -- someone's

75
00:02:43,763 --> 00:02:44,633
going onto Kansas City.

76
00:02:44,631 --> 00:02:46,331
You guys got -- you
got it all started.

77
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:48,532
Narrator: On Thursday, the
president returned to his roots:

78
00:02:48,535 --> 00:02:51,435
his hometown of Chicago,
to speak to an assembly of

79
00:02:51,437 --> 00:02:54,937
students, staff and faculty at
Northwestern's Kellogg School

80
00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:58,411
of Management, focusing on what
has always fueled America's

81
00:02:58,411 --> 00:03:01,551
leadership, and that's
America's economic greatness.

82
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:03,788
He took a step back from the
rush of current events to

83
00:03:03,783 --> 00:03:05,783
explain what we have done
to recover from the great

84
00:03:05,785 --> 00:03:09,125
recession, and what we need to
do to ensure that more middle

85
00:03:09,122 --> 00:03:11,622
class families feel that
progress in their own lives.

86
00:03:11,624 --> 00:03:15,264
The President: So here's the
bottom line: for all the work

87
00:03:15,261 --> 00:03:18,931
that remains, for all the
citizens that we still need

88
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:22,532
to reach, what I want people
to know is that there

89
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:25,535
are some really good things
happening in America.

90
00:03:25,538 --> 00:03:29,308
That's because this new
foundation is now in place.

New investments in energy and
technology is to create new jobs

92
00:03:31,811 --> 00:03:34,381
and new industries; new
investments and education that

93
00:03:34,380 --> 00:03:37,950
will make our workforce more
skilled and competitive;

94
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:40,491

and businesses; new reforms
to our federal budget that

96
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:48,860

future generation; new rules
for our financial system

98
00:03:52,465 --> 00:03:55,435
to protect consumers and
prevent the kinds of crises

99
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:57,435
that we endured from
happening again.

100
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:58,807
Narrator: Well, folks,

The President: In one black tie,
I would have worn my tan suit.

106
00:04:10,383 --> 00:04:12,923
(applause)

107
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,489
