welcome to West Wing Week. Mario Lopez: Welcome
to West Wing Week. Olivia Munn: West Wing Week. Amy Poehler: Welcome to another
episode of West Wing Week. The Vice President:
West Wing Week. Multiple Speakers:
West Wing Week. Bill Nye: Way to go. Take it away, Mr. President. President Obama: Your
guide to everything that's happening at 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. (music playing) Kid President: It looks
like you were expecting somebody else. The President: Hi, everybody. It is the fifth anniversary
of West Wing Week. And in honor of that, I
decided to give Josh Earnest, the usual narrator, a break. And I'm going to
narrate this for you. A lot of you guys have
tuned in in the past. And you get to see Air Force One
and you have a chance to see behind the scenes of what goes
into a West Wing operation. Right now, we are in the beast,
which is what this big behemoth of a limousine is called
that drives me around from place to place. We're actually leaving Lawson
State Community College in Birmingham, Alabama, where
we were talking about the importance of Wall
Street reform and how we're going to protect people
from payday lending. As Americans,
we don't mind seeing folks make a profit. And if somebody lends you
money, then we expect you to charge interest
on that loan. But if you're making
that profit by trapping hardworking Americans into
a vicious cycle of debt, you got to find a
new business model. (applause) You ready? Female Speaker: I'm ready. The President: Okay. Hey, everybody. I am about to go into
PCAST, which is basically my scientific
advisory group. I've got my chairman
here, Eric Lander, very smart guy from Harvard;
John Holdren, my top scientist, although I am referred to
as scientist-in-chief by this group. We talk about all kinds of
important stuff: science, technology, and how public
policy interacts with it. And one of the topics today
is making sure that we're dealing with drug-resistant
bacteria, which is something that all of you obviously
should be concerned about. We want to make sure that
antibiotics continue to work. They're diminishing
in effectiveness. So it's kind of
interesting stuff. I love hanging out
with scientists. They're very rational,
and occasionally, they give us some
good ideas. All right. Hello, everybody. Hello. Hey, everybody. It's Monday. We're on Air Force One. Just landed in Boston. I'm here to celebrate
the life of Ted Kennedy. We're opening up a center
that describes not only his career but also some of the
extraordinary work that's been done in the Senate. And it's designed to
encourage young people to get involved in
government and politics. So it's going to be
terrific, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. Imagine what a child feels
the first time she steps onto that floor, before she's old
enough to be (inaudible), before she's told
what she can't do. What happens when it comes
her turn to stand and speak on behalf of something
she cares about and cast a vote and have a
sense of purpose? Maybe just not for kids? What if we all carried
ourselves that way? What if our politics,
our democracy, was elevated as purposeful
as she imagines it to be? Hey, everybody. It is Tuesday, and I'm about to
sign what's called a Memorandum of Disapproval on an issue
that's really important to workers all across
the country. The National Labor Relation
Board, or the NLRB, issued a rule to streamline
how votes took place so that somebody could join
a union, try to make it a little simpler,
a little fairer. Not everybody ends
up joining a union, but if workers want to do
so, we want to make sure that they have the right to
a fair and free election. The Republican Congress passed
a resolution trying to overturn it, and I'm saying to
them, "We're not going to let that happen." So that's what
I'm doing right now. Hope you guys are
having a good day. Spring's finally
come; feels good. I want to see those
cherry blossoms. Hello, everybody. This is not
Frank Underwood. This is Barack Obama. Happy April Fool's Day. Frank learned it from me. Hey, everybody. It is Wednesday, and I am about
to go in the Roosevelt Room to talk about something a
lot of you care about, and that is college
affordability. We've already done a lot
of work on this: expanding Pell Grants, making sure
more people are eligible, and making sure that
there're easier ways for people to pay back
their student loans. So, there's a lot of
work to do on this front. The good news is we're seeing
more young people going to college and graduating
college than ever before. And that's what's going
to be necessary for a 21st century economy. (music playing) So I got to get to work. All right. And today, we've
got a special treat. We are diving into the
archives to get some of those gems that a lot of times end
up on the cutting room floor, but you guys may enjoy. Mr. Earnest: He
went on to say... (music playing) She went on to say... He added... She added... Female Speaker: Okay. We're ready. The President: In fact,
I'm feeling a little silly right now. So I got to settle down. (laughter) The President: This is
Barrack Obama and I'm subbing in for Josh Earnest. I'm his understudy and
welcome to 100th episode -- let's start that over. Let's do that again. (laughter) Come on. Female Speaker: Good morning. The President: Hello. T-E-R-I-E or A? Male Speaker: A. The President: A. I was blanking
for a second. Get some snacks. Female Speaker: Yes,
snacks dishes -- The President: They brought
their (inaudible) on food. Got their nachos. Female Speaker: Oh yeah. The President: Hotdogs. The reason it's called a
Sharpie is because it's supposed to be sharp. I'm messing with you guys. (laughter and applause) The President: And
-- and who? Got my mug. Male Speaker: And then
the kids are over here. The President:
You know what? Hold on one second. Female Speaker:
Is it too hot? The President: Let's -- gosh
she was like "I'm burning." (laughter) Mr. Earnest: He went
further, she went further, later he said. (applause) The President: If I look
through here and it's clearest, it's clear. Female Speaker: Yeah. Okay, is this better? The President: Try it again. Male Speaker: Mr.
Obama we love you. We love you -- (applause) The President: I see
a lot of babies. Have you seen a better
looking baby than this? I don't think so. Hi. Female Speaker: Aw,
there's a smile. The President: (inaudible)
Well, I'm just going to take you, so say bye to mommy. I'm going to have to take
with me and (inaudible). (laughter) The President: All right,
we're going to be all right. Male Speaker: Hold it. Hold it, hold it. The President: I feel like the
girl with the Pearl Earring. Male Speaker: No, no,
no it looks incredible. Eyes on the camera. The President: I will to
the best of my ability. Female Speaker: So, help me God. The President: So, help me God. Male Speaker: Just shake hands. (laughter) The President: That's it? The Vice President: My
great-great grandfather was a shoemaker, immigrated within 8
months after your great-great grandfather from the same
county, 3 miles away. The President:
(inaudible) story, President Obama is getting
old in the White House. Got to try me out with bangs. I mean it's not just that
it got a lot of hits, which doesn't surprise me, but
it's actually driving people to site, people are signing up, so
it really made a difference, and I can't thank you and the
whole crew enough for doing it. It was really neat. (laughter) The President: (inaudible)
acting all serious. Male Speaker: I
know I'm acting -- The President: Zach
seemed more like -- Male Speaker: I mean,
you're the President -- (laughter) Male Speaker: I'll
try, I'll try. I'll unbutton you. (laughter) The President: No, no. We don't want -- (laughter) The President: PG rated. (laughter) Male Speaker:
Come on (inaudible). Mr. Earnest: Later she said. Male Speaker: All right, man. The President: Because -- Female Speaker:
That's all right. The President: You know what? Let's try it one more --
except I didn't know how to end. So, I'll just say that. Okay? Thanks, everybody.
