of climate change,
and the last generation that

61

Countries that are seeing
first-hand the effects of

85
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:02,519
climate change, and must
already be preparing for the

86
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:03,785
consequences.

87

populations are among the

88
00:03:05,985 --> 00:03:09,055
most vulnerable to the
ravages of climate change.

89
00:03:09,055 --> 00:03:12,795
Their voice in these
negotiations will be

90
00:03:12,792 --> 00:03:14,432
absolutely vital.

91
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:15,827
Narrator: Then it was
lights, camera, action,

92
00:03:15,828 --> 00:03:17,698
as the President sat down
for an interview with French

93
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:20,167
journalist Laura Haim of
Canal Plus.

94
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:22,066
The President: Regardless of
your religious faith,

95
00:03:22,068 --> 00:03:27,538
the essence of a good life
is not what you can destroy,

96
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:28,840
but what you can build.

97
00:03:28,841 --> 00:03:30,381
Narrator: The President's
final event of the day,

98
00:03:30,376 --> 00:03:33,376
before flying home, was a
news conference,

99
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:34,619
where he answered questions
about the Turkish border

100
00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:37,114
with Syria, our campaign to
degrade and ultimately

101
00:03:37,116 --> 00:03:40,886
destroy ISIL, and both the
threat and opportunity posed

102
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:41,917
by climate change.

103
00:03:41,921 --> 00:03:42,851
The President: Now, the
fact of the matter,

104
00:03:42,855 --> 00:03:47,825
is there's a reason why you
have the largest gathering

105
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:53,297
of world leaders probably in
human history here in Paris.

106
00:03:53,299 --> 00:03:55,369
Everybody else has taken
climate change really

107
00:03:55,368 --> 00:03:57,068
seriously.

108
00:03:57,070 --> 00:03:59,070
They think it's a
really big problem.

109
00:03:59,072 --> 00:04:00,302
Narrator: Then it was time
for the President and his

110
00:04:00,306 --> 00:04:02,606
staff to head home, leaving
behind a delegation of

111
00:04:02,609 --> 00:04:04,809
Americans to continue the
work with other nations to

112
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:07,681
finalize the details of
the climate deal.

113
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,250
On Thursday morning, the
President delivered a

114
00:04:09,248 --> 00:04:10,818
statement about the
senseless shooting in

115
00:04:10,817 --> 00:04:12,557
San Bernardino, California.

116
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:14,252
Later, the President
participated in one of his

117
00:04:14,253 --> 00:04:16,153
favorite quarterly
activities,

118
00:04:16,155 --> 00:04:18,395
meeting with the season's
class of interns,

119
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:20,031
where he gets to put on his
mentor hat,

120
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:21,826
and answer some questions.

121
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:26,068
The President: Worry less
about what you want to be.

122
00:04:26,065 --> 00:04:28,065
Worry more about what you
do.

123
00:04:28,067 --> 00:04:30,107
Narrator: That evening, the
First Family kicked off the

124
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:32,173
