1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,768
Narrator: Welcome to
the West Wing Week,

2
00:00:01,768 --> 00:00:02,969
your guide to everything
that's happening at

3
00:00:02,969 --> 00:00:04,904
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

4
00:00:04,904 --> 00:00:07,107
This week, the President
welcomed President Widodo of

5
00:00:07,107 --> 00:00:09,676
Indonesia, Prince
Harry of Wales,

6
00:00:09,676 --> 00:00:10,844
and the World Cup-winning

7
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:12,779
U.S. women's soccer team
to the White House.

8
00:00:12,779 --> 00:00:14,948
He also traveled to
his home town, Chicago,

9
00:00:14,948 --> 00:00:17,250
to talk with law enforcement
leaders on criminal justice

10
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:20,153
reform, and to watch
a Chicago Bulls game.

11
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:22,188
That's October
23rd-October 29th,

12
00:00:22,188 --> 00:00:24,057
or the Presidential Wave.

13
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,191
The President: Oh, it's
the Presidential Wave?

14
00:00:25,191 --> 00:00:26,226
Okay.

15
00:00:26,226 --> 00:00:30,096
(music)

16
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:31,364
Narrator: On Friday, the
children of White House

17
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:34,033
staffers were treated to a
spooky trick-or-treat in the

18
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,703
halls of the Eisenhower
Executive Office Building.

19
00:00:36,703 --> 00:00:38,204
Female Speaker: (laughs)
This is so bizarre.

20
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:39,572
Narrator: On Monday, the
President took a stroll on a

21
00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:41,841
crisp fall day to the
Metropolitan Club,

22
00:00:41,841 --> 00:00:44,144
a couple of blocks north
of the White House.

23
00:00:44,144 --> 00:00:46,579
Later, the President
welcomed President Joko Widodo

24
00:00:46,579 --> 00:00:48,548
of Indonesia for his
first White House

25
00:00:48,548 --> 00:00:50,016
visit as President.

26
00:00:50,016 --> 00:00:53,086
On Tuesday, the President
hosted the world champion

27
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:55,221
U.S. women's national
soccer team,

28
00:00:55,221 --> 00:00:56,923
who made America proud
during the World Cup in

29
00:00:56,923 --> 00:00:58,858
Vancouver last July.

30
00:00:58,858 --> 00:01:00,660
Those women have inspired a
lot of young girls

31
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,028
along the way.

32
00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:04,030
Ayla Ludlow: I never thought
my note would bring me here

33
00:01:04,030 --> 00:01:07,066
to the White House with the
woman I was watching on T.V.

34
00:01:07,066 --> 00:01:09,335
Having this opportunity to
stand before this group is

35
00:01:09,335 --> 00:01:11,571
simply amazing, and I'm
never going to forget

36
00:01:11,571 --> 00:01:12,939
this moment.

37
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:14,507
And now, it is my honor to
introduce

38
00:01:14,507 --> 00:01:16,209
the President, Barack Obama.

39
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,444
The President: Hey!

40
00:01:17,444 --> 00:01:18,845
(applause)

41
00:01:18,845 --> 00:01:22,682
Girls like Ayla, who too
often heard that they

42
00:01:22,682 --> 00:01:24,884
weren't somehow supposed
to be as good at sports as

43
00:01:24,884 --> 00:01:28,888
boys, and Ayla got mad.

44
00:01:28,888 --> 00:01:31,157
And she should be mad
with those attitudes.

45
00:01:31,157 --> 00:01:35,228
This team taught all
America's children that

46
00:01:35,228 --> 00:01:38,731
"playing like a girl"
means you're a badass.

47
00:01:38,731 --> 00:01:39,499
(laughter)

48
00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:40,400
(applause)

49
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,601
Narrator: After saying
goodbye to the World Cup

50
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:43,770
winners, the President
headed to his old stomping

51
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:45,972
grounds, Chicago.

52
00:01:45,972 --> 00:01:47,941
There he addressed the
International Association of

53
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:50,076
Chiefs of Police, the
largest gathering of

54
00:01:50,076 --> 00:01:52,145
law-enforcement
leaders in the world.

55
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:54,614
He thanked police for the
important work that they do,

56
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:56,850
and addressed the need for
criminal justice reform.

57
00:01:56,850 --> 00:01:59,385
The President: So I want
to be as clear as I can be.

58
00:01:59,385 --> 00:02:02,589
I reject any narrative that
seeks to divide police and

59
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:05,758
the communities
that they serve.

60
00:02:05,758 --> 00:02:07,527
(applause)

61
00:02:07,527 --> 00:02:09,863
I reject a
storyline that says,

62
00:02:09,863 --> 00:02:10,964
when it comes to
public safety,

63
00:02:10,964 --> 00:02:13,900
there's an "us" and a
"them." Now that doesn't

64
00:02:13,900 --> 00:02:17,270
mean that things
are perfect.

65
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:19,305
It doesn't mean that we
shouldn't have a serious and

66
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:22,876
robust debate over fairness
in law enforcement,

67
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:25,044
over our broader
criminal justice system,

68
00:02:25,044 --> 00:02:28,448
when it comes particularly
to communities of color.

69
00:02:28,448 --> 00:02:29,415
Narrator: And
later that night,

70
00:02:29,415 --> 00:02:31,551
the President rooted for
the Chicago Bulls in the NBA

71
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:35,855
season opener, to the thrill
and surprise of a packed arena.

72
00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:38,091
On Wednesday, the First Lady
and Dr. Biden joined forces

73
00:02:38,091 --> 00:02:41,094
with Prince Harry to meet
wounded service members in

74
00:02:41,094 --> 00:02:43,530
Fort Belvoir in Virginia,
and to promote the

75
00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:45,698
Invictus Games, an international
event

76
00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:48,167
for injured military personnel.

77
00:02:48,167 --> 00:02:50,503
They toured studios and met
with vets who are channeling

78
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:53,273
their experiences into
powerful art and music.

79
00:02:53,273 --> 00:02:58,311
(music)

80
00:02:58,311 --> 00:03:00,547
Then they watched a
wheelchair basketball game.

81
00:03:00,547 --> 00:03:04,684
(applause)

82
00:03:04,684 --> 00:03:06,085
Later, the President got
to sit down with the royal

83
00:03:06,085 --> 00:03:09,222
guest in the Oval Office.

84
00:03:09,222 --> 00:03:10,857

85
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,792
