10
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:17,985
And the First Lady
named a new panda cub!

11
00:00:17,984 --> 00:00:20,754
That's September 25th
to October 1st or,

12
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:21,754

13
00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:23,425

14
00:00:23,423 --> 00:00:25,793
Narrator: Friday was dĂŠja
vu all over again on the

15
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:28,092
South Lawn as the second
arrival ceremony of the

16
00:00:28,094 --> 00:00:29,094
week took place.

17
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:34,065
This time it
wasn't the Pope.

18
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:35,407
It was President
Chi of China.

19
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:40,412
The President: President
Chi, you've spoken of your

20
00:00:47,046 --> 00:00:49,046
vision of China's
peaceful development.

21
00:00:49,048 --> 00:00:52,218
And during my visit to
Beijing last year you said

22
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:56,688
that there were wide areas
where our nations need to

23
00:00:56,689 --> 00:01:00,959
and can cooperate with each
other, and I fully agree.

24
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,100
Narrator: The two leaders
also held a bilateral

25
00:01:03,096 --> 00:01:05,096
meeting and a news
conference, where they

26
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:07,398
reaffirm the critical role
that our countries play in

27
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,770
cutting carbon pollution and
fighting climate change.

28
00:01:09,769 --> 00:01:11,839
The President: Now, last
year I announced our pledge

29
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:15,408
of $3 billion to the Green
Climate Fund, to help

30
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:17,808
developing nations deal
with climate change.

31
00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:20,111
Today I welcome China's
major commitment of climate

32
00:01:20,113 --> 00:01:22,113
finance for the most
[unintelligible]

33
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:23,115
countries as well.

34
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:25,116
Narrator: Meanwhile the
First Ladies took a walk

35
00:01:25,118 --> 00:01:28,188
on the wild side at the
Smithsonian National Zoo.

36
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:30,528
There, they visited the
new panda house and named

37
00:01:30,523 --> 00:01:31,523
the new panda cub.

38
00:01:31,524 --> 00:01:33,824
Mrs. Obama: -- panda.

39
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:34,827
[applause]

40
00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:36,828
Narrator: The day
didn't end there.

41
00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:38,830
At 2:12 P.M. the
President headed to

42
00:01:38,832 --> 00:01:40,832
Fort Myer to bid adieu
to General Martin Dempsey,

43
00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:42,834
who is retiring as
the chairman of

44
00:01:42,836 --> 00:01:43,836
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

45
00:01:43,837 --> 00:01:45,837
The President: I'm told
that on Marty's desk

46
00:01:45,839 --> 00:01:47,209
there is a box.

47
00:01:47,207 --> 00:01:52,347
It's a cigar box with 132
cards, each one with the

48
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:58,885
name, picture, and story of
every one of the 132

49
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:01,285
soldiers who gave
their lives under

50
00:02:01,287 --> 00:02:03,627
his command in Iraq.

51
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:08,493
And on top of the box
are three words:

52
00:02:08,495 --> 00:02:09,495
"Make It Matter."

53
00:02:09,496 --> 00:02:11,696
Narrator: The day
still wasn't over.

54
00:02:11,698 --> 00:02:14,438
It was time to dress up and
attend the official state

55
00:02:14,434 --> 00:02:17,774
dinner to welcome Chinese
President Chi and First Lady

56
00:02:17,770 --> 00:02:18,810
Pung to the White House.

57
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:20,775
The President: To
the people of China

58
00:02:20,773 --> 00:02:23,073
and the people of
the United States.

59
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:27,546
May they work together like
fingers on the same hand in

60
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:29,647
friendship and in peace.

61
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,249
Ganbei.

62
00:02:31,251 --> 00:02:34,591
Narrator: On Saturday the
First Lady attended the

63
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:36,927
Global Citizen Festival in
Central Park.

64
00:02:36,923 --> 00:02:39,463
There she started a
conversation online to

65
00:02:39,459 --> 00:02:42,859
highlight the 62 million
girls worldwide who are not

66
00:02:42,862 --> 00:02:45,402
in school and do not have
access to education.

67
00:02:45,398 --> 00:02:47,938
On Sunday the President was
wheels down in New York City

68
00:02:47,934 --> 00:02:49,704
precisely at 12:03 P.M.

69
00:02:49,702 --> 00:02:52,642
The next few days were a
whirlwind of meetings with

70
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,039
world leaders and speeches
to those gathered in the Big

71
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:57,211
Apple for the United Nations
General Assembly.

72
00:02:57,210 --> 00:02:59,480
The President: Indeed I
believe that in today's

73
00:02:59,479 --> 00:03:02,249
world the measure of
strength is no longer

74
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:05,718
confined by the control of
territory.

75
00:03:05,718 --> 00:03:09,258
Lasting prosperity does not
come solely from the ability

76
00:03:09,255 --> 00:03:14,265
to access and extract raw
materials.

77
00:03:16,596 --> 00:03:19,736
The strengths of nations
depends on the success of

78
00:03:19,732 --> 00:03:23,332
their people -- their
knowledge their innovation,

79
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:26,706
their imagination, their
creativity, their drive,

80
00:03:26,706 --> 00:03:27,906
their opportunity.

81
00:03:27,907 --> 00:03:31,107
And that in turn depends on
individual rights and good

82
00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:33,250
governance and personal
security.

83
00:03:33,246 --> 00:03:35,886
Narrator: Then it was on to
the meetings.

84
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,952
First the President met with
the Prime Minister Modi of

85
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:38,951
India.

86
00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:39,952
Then U.N.

87
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:41,553
Secretary General Ban
Ki-moon.

88
00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:44,894

Summit, and then finally the

89
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,891
President of Russia Vladimir
Putin.

90
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:49,693

91
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,866

93
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:55,339
He also chaired the Leaders'
Summit on countering ISOL

94
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,335
and countering violent
extremism.

95
00:03:57,337 --> 00:03:59,507
On Wednesday the President
made his way across West

96
00:03:59,505 --> 00:04:00,475
Exec.

97
00:04:00,473 --> 00:04:02,743
to the Eisenhower Executive
Office building, where he

98
00:04:02,742 --> 00:04:04,742
spoke to democratic state
legislators.

99
00:04:04,744 --> 00:04:06,744
The President: -- but also a
very rare opportunity on

100
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:08,746
state legislatures all
across the country.

101
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:10,748
Narrator: While you've gone
and done it, you spend

102
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:12,750
another few minutes with us
here at the West Wing Week,

103
00:04:12,752 --> 00:04:13,752
and we want you to come
back.

104
00:04:13,753 --> 00:04:15,853
So stay engaged with us
online and remember: you can

about any of these topics

106

00:04:22,228 --> 00:04:24,228
Thanks again for checking
out this edition of your

109
00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:25,230
West Wing Week.

110
00:04:25,231 --> 00:04:28,201
The President: I hope and
pray that I don't have to

111
00:04:28,201 --> 00:04:33,211
come out again during my
tenure as President to offer

112
00:04:35,808 --> 00:04:38,108
my condolences to families
in these circumstances.

113
00:04:40,613 --> 00:04:42,753
But based on my
experience as President,

114
00:04:42,749 --> 00:04:44,749
I can't guarantee that.

115
00:04:49,055 --> 00:04:54,065
And it can change.
