24
00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:40,974
A local favorite in Austin.

25
00:00:40,974 --> 00:00:43,543
The President: These look
like some athletes here.

26
00:00:43,543 --> 00:00:44,644
Baseball players?

00:00:44,644 --> 00:00:45,311

32
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:52,385

00:00:52,385 --> 00:00:54,354
Male Speaker: I want
to solve puzzles

34
00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:56,156
for (inaudible).

35
00:00:56,156 --> 00:00:57,690
The President:
How good are you?

36
00:00:57,690 --> 00:00:58,257
Male Speaker: I'm good.

37
00:00:58,258 --> 00:00:59,325
The President:
You're really good?

38
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:00,560
Oh what a little precious.

42
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,063
The President: You
guys get any sleep yet?

Female Speaker: No
(inaudible) sleep.

44
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:08,902
Male Speaker: After grabbing
some tacos, the President

45
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:11,604
headed down the street to
South by, where he and Evan

00:01:11,604 --> 00:01:14,641
Smith of the Texas Tribune
discussed civic engagement

47
00:01:14,641 --> 00:01:16,676
in a digital 21st century.

48
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:19,078
The President: What we
realized was that we could

49
00:01:19,078 --> 00:01:22,282
potentially build
a SWAT team.

50
00:01:22,282 --> 00:01:27,152
A world class technology
office inside of the government.

51
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:28,421
We've dubbed that the U.S.

52
00:01:28,421 --> 00:01:29,823
Digital services.

53
00:01:29,823 --> 00:01:32,425
And we've got some of the
top talent from all the top

54
00:01:32,425 --> 00:01:34,527
tech companies.

55
00:01:34,527 --> 00:01:37,764
These folks are coming in,
in some cases for six months

56
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:42,035
and in some cases for two
years and they are making an

57
00:01:42,035 --> 00:01:43,436
enormous difference.

58
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:44,571
Male Speaker: On Monday, the
President headed to Foggy

59
00:01:44,571 --> 00:01:46,739
Bottom here in Washington D.C.
to the State Department to

60
00:01:46,739 --> 00:01:48,908
meet with American
chiefs of mission.

61
00:01:48,908 --> 00:01:51,211
Those Americans who lead
our embassies abroad.

62
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,246
At the State Department,
the President met with the

63
00:01:53,246 --> 00:01:55,048
diplomats who work to make
the Paris Climate Deal a

64
00:01:55,048 --> 00:01:57,317
reality and reaffirmed the
need to continue working for

65
00:01:57,317 --> 00:01:58,417
the common good.

66
00:01:58,418 --> 00:02:01,087
The President: We will
have the most impact.

67
00:02:01,087 --> 00:02:03,456
Have the capacity
to do the most good.

68
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:07,560
What an incentive for us to
make sure that we squeeze

69
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,331
every last little bit
of good that we can do.

70
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:12,531
Male Speaker: Then the
President met with those who

71
00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:14,634
helped him designate three
national monuments in the

72
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:15,767
California Desert.

73
00:02:15,768 --> 00:02:17,504
The President: Science
is really fascinating.

74
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:23,843
We're not saying that just
10 minutes (inaudible).

75
00:02:23,843 --> 00:02:26,613
Stress levels down.

76
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:27,680
Male Speaker: That
afternoon, the President and

77
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,516
First Lady welcomed the cast

78
00:02:29,516 --> 00:02:31,049

79
00:02:31,050 --> 00:02:33,453
The President sat down with
the creator of the show,

80
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:35,722
Lin-Manuel Miranda for an
interview before he helped

81
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:38,157
Mr. Miranda generate
a freestyle rap.

82
00:02:38,157 --> 00:02:38,992
The President:

Male Speaker: To conclude
the day, the cast performed

87
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:49,836
several songs from the show.

88
00:02:49,836 --> 00:03:00,313
Lin-Manuel Miranda: ♪ (singing) ♪

89
00:03:00,313 --> 00:03:01,247
Male Speaker: St. Patrick's Day came a

90
00:03:01,247 --> 00:03:02,515
couple days early at the

91
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:03,616
White House, as the
President welcomed the Prime

92
00:03:03,616 --> 00:03:06,219
Minister of Ireland,
Taoiseach Enda Kenny.

93
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:08,021
The President and the
Taoiseach attended the

94
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:10,322
annual Friends of Ireland
lunch at the Capitol, where

95
00:03:10,323 --> 00:03:12,258
the President reaffirmed the
need to elevate political

96
00:03:12,258 --> 00:03:14,294
debate to reflect the
best of our country.

97
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:15,995
The President: This is
also about what we -- are

98
00:03:15,995 --> 00:03:17,864
teaching our children.

99
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,366
We should not have to
explain to them this darker

100
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:21,834
side of politics.

101
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:24,504
We should not be afraid to
take them to a political

102
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:27,373
rally or let them watch
political debates.

103
00:03:27,373 --> 00:03:30,609
We should be teaching them
that this democracy is a

104
00:03:30,610 --> 00:03:32,879
vibrant and precious thing.

105
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,415
And it's going to
be theirs someday.

106
00:03:35,415 --> 00:03:38,051
And we want them to elevate.

107
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,385
Male Speaker: On Wednesday,
the President went to the

108
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:41,554
Rose Garden and made an
historic announcement by

109
00:03:41,554 --> 00:03:43,423
nominating Chief Judge
Merrick Garland to the

110
00:03:43,423 --> 00:03:44,524
Supreme Court.

111
00:03:44,524 --> 00:03:45,625
Merrick Garland: I'm Merrick
Garland and when I'm

112
00:03:45,625 --> 00:03:47,994
standing with the President
and he announces my

113
00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:49,896
nomination, I actually feel
like it's an

114
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:52,565
out-of-body experience.

115
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,367
This is not anything I
could have ever imagined

116
00:03:54,367 --> 00:03:56,703
happening; growing up in
Lincolnwood, Illinois.

117
00:03:56,703 --> 00:03:58,504
Male Speaker: After that,
the President made his way

118
00:03:58,504 --> 00:04:00,506
over to the Diplomatic
Reception Room to hear from

119
00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:02,775
a group of talented women
from Spelman College who

120
00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:05,278
helped kick off a Women's
History Month celebration at

121
00:04:05,278 --> 00:04:06,446
the White House.

122
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:07,680
From there, the President
made his way to the East

123
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,549
Room to discuss the need
to promote equality and

124
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:11,818
opportunity for women and
girls in the United States

125
00:04:11,818 --> 00:04:13,486

134
00:04:29,736 --> 00:04:30,402
