00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:01,137

00:00:03,367 --> 00:00:04,137

Ben Rhodes: Hey, I'm Ben
Rhodes, and you're watching

00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,970
Narrator: It's May 23rd to May

18
00:00:32,967 --> 00:00:34,537
The President: I

19
00:00:34,533 --> 00:00:35,803
Narrator: Our West
Wing Week kicks off

20
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,970
in the White House State Dining
Room, where the President

21
00:00:37,967 --> 00:00:40,897
nominated San Antonio mayor
Julian Castro as the next

22
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:43,970
Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development, or HUD,

23
00:00:43,967 --> 00:00:47,397
and current HUD Secretary
Shaun Donovan to serve

24
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,400
as the Director of the White House
Office of Management and Budget,

25
00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:52,703
or in beltway parlance, OMB.

26
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:54,600
Over the weekend, the President
made a surprise visit 

27
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,530
to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan,
where he addressed about

28
00:00:57,533 --> 00:00:59,703
3,000 troops in the
hanger on the base,

29
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:02,270
and told them that he was
there on a single mission:

30
00:01:02,266 --> 00:01:04,096
to say thank you.

31
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:05,270
The President: Hello, Bagram.

32
00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:06,666
(applause)

33
00:01:06,667 --> 00:01:07,737
Narrator: On Memorial
Day, the President,

34
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:10,604
First Lady, Vice President,
and Dr. Biden traveled

35
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,170
to Arlington National
Cemetery to lay a wreath

36
00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:15,366
of the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier.

37
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,737
Then the President, who returned
from Afghanistan earlier

38
00:01:17,734 --> 00:01:20,734
that morning, thanked troops
and veterans for their service

39
00:01:20,734 --> 00:01:23,734
to our nation, and paid
tribute to the fallen.

40
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:25,930
The President: I'm going to
go take a look at some

41
00:01:25,934 --> 00:01:27,064
of these experiments.

42
00:01:27,066 --> 00:01:28,566
Narrator: Tuesday, the
President played host to one

43
00:01:28,567 --> 00:01:30,337
of his favorite annual events.

44
00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:32,533
That's right, folks, the
fourth ever Science Fair

45
00:01:32,533 --> 00:01:35,433
at the White House, which
featured a dizzying array

46
00:01:35,433 --> 00:01:38,003
of truly extraordinary science
projects and experiments

47
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,230
from some of America's most innovative young thinkers.

48
00:01:41,233 --> 00:01:42,903
Let's take a quick look at some
of the highlights from

49
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:45,430
the President's conversations
with students participating

50
00:01:45,433 --> 00:01:46,633
this year.

51
00:01:46,633 --> 00:01:50,403
The President: Success,
that thing went fast.

52
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,970
So your mom basically started
the whole robot train.

53
00:01:53,967 --> 00:01:55,237
The marshmallow
might still be there.

54
00:01:55,233 --> 00:01:56,403
(laughter)

55
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,300
The President: All right,

56
00:01:57,300 --> 00:01:59,130
I'm such an underachiever.

57
00:01:59,133 --> 00:02:01,763
Male Speaker: So if
you put this in --

58
00:02:01,767 --> 00:02:03,137
Male Speaker: I actually
have two projects --

59
00:02:03,133 --> 00:02:04,663
The President: You have
two, one was not enough.

60
00:02:04,667 --> 00:02:05,497
Male Speaker: No.

61
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:06,870
The President: You decided
you had to have two.

62
00:02:06,867 --> 00:02:09,797
How did you get the idea
for the whole polymer thing?

63
00:02:10,333 --> 00:02:13,333
Sometimes in the Oval Office,
I just look at one of these.

64
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:16,063
One last question: where
do I buy stock in you?

65
00:02:16,066 --> 00:02:17,566
Male Speaker: Over here.

66
00:02:17,567 --> 00:02:18,737
The President: So
how do I log on?

67
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,630
Fantastic.

68
00:02:21,633 --> 00:02:22,903
I love these kids.

69
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:24,700
How can that kid not succeed?

70
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,270
He's 12.

71
00:02:26,266 --> 00:02:27,666
He's already got two patents.

72
00:02:27,667 --> 00:02:28,767
I love this event.

73
00:02:28,767 --> 00:02:30,867
(laughter)

74
00:02:30,867 --> 00:02:32,597
The President: It's one
of my favorite things

75
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,270
all year long.

76
00:02:34,266 --> 00:02:35,766
Narrator: On that
beautiful spring afternoon

77
00:02:35,767 --> 00:02:37,767
in the White House Rose
Garden, the President talked

78
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:40,667
about the United States'
next steps in Afghanistan,

79
00:02:40,667 --> 00:02:42,967
and how the President will
bring America's longest war

80
00:02:42,967 --> 00:02:45,397
to a responsible end.

81
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,500
Female Speaker: At
that time, you --

82
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:47,800
The President: Got
it, very (inaudible).

83
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:48,900
Narrator: On Wednesday,
the President traveled

84
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:51,630
to West Point to congratulate
the newest officers

85
00:02:51,633 --> 00:02:54,063
in the United States Army,
and to reflect on America's

86
00:02:54,066 --> 00:02:55,566
foreign policy agenda

87
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:57,637
by outlining his vision
for how the United States

88
00:02:57,633 --> 00:03:00,533
and our military should
lead in the years to come.

89
00:03:00,533 --> 00:03:02,303
(applause)

90
00:03:03,633 --> 00:03:04,563
The President: I might
never get a chance

91
00:03:04,567 --> 00:03:06,067
to listen to Morning
Edition anymore because

92
00:03:06,066 --> 00:03:07,236
I don't drive anymore.

93
00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:08,933
Narrator: He then sat down
with the man behind the voice

94
00:03:08,934 --> 00:03:10,504
on NPR's Morning Edition.

95
00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:12,130
That's right, that's
Steve Inskeep.

96
00:03:12,133 --> 00:03:13,703
They discussed how the
President believes America

97
00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:15,670
can lead the international
community, and protect

98
00:03:15,667 --> 00:03:18,137
our interests all
across the globe.

99
00:03:18,133 --> 00:03:19,363
On Thursday, the
President hosted

100
00:03:19,367 --> 00:03:22,667
the White House Healthy Kids and
Safe Sports Concussion Seminar,

101
00:03:22,667 --> 00:03:26,197
where he was joined by young
athletes, parents, coaches,

102
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,370
academics, experts, athletes,
and military service members.

103
00:03:30,367 --> 00:03:32,297
He then went live with
Kelly and Michael.

104
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,630
Well, okay, live to tape, since
it aired on their syndicated

105
00:03:34,633 --> 00:03:36,303
program on Friday morning.

106
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,670
Meanwhile, developers and tech
experts had spent all day

107
00:03:38,667 --> 00:03:41,167
working at the White
House Civic Hackathon,

108
00:03:41,166 --> 00:03:43,766
building up new ways for the
public to sign petitions

109
00:03:43,767 --> 00:03:46,537
on the White House's We
the People website.

110
00:03:46,533 --> 00:03:47,933
Well, now you've
gone and done it.

111
00:03:47,934 --> 00:03:49,704
