00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,301
Narrator: Welcome to
the West Wing Week.
2
00:00:01,301 --> 00:00:02,669
Your guide to everything
that's happening at
3
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:04,738
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
4
00:00:04,738 --> 00:00:06,806
This week, the President
celebrated the 2016
5
00:00:06,806 --> 00:00:09,175
graduating class of Howard
University, hosted the
6
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:12,812
1983 national champion North
Carolina State Wolfpack, and
7
00:00:12,812 --> 00:00:15,280
the 2016 national
champion UConn Huskies.
8
00:00:15,281 --> 00:00:16,282
(applause)
9
00:00:16,282 --> 00:00:19,085
And the First Lady traveled
to the Invictus Games
10
00:00:19,085 --> 00:00:20,086
in Orlando.
11
00:00:20,086 --> 00:00:24,457
That's May 6th to May
12th, or "Stylin' Huh?"
12
00:00:24,457 --> 00:00:25,225
The President: Styling' huh?
13
00:00:25,225 --> 00:00:27,026
Yeah, you wish you
had one, don't you?
14
00:00:27,026 --> 00:00:28,495
Narrator: On Friday, the
President joined the daily
15
00:00:28,495 --> 00:00:31,231
press briefing to talk about
the steps his administration
16
00:00:31,231 --> 00:00:34,000
is taking to strengthen
financial transparency, and
17
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,069
to make our tax
code more fair.
18
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:37,404
The President: -- these
actions will prevent tax
19
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:40,273
evasion, will prevent money
laundering, will prevent
20
00:00:40,273 --> 00:00:44,411
terrorist financing, and
they will, most importantly,
21
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:46,946
uphold a fundamental
principle of our economy.
22
00:00:46,946 --> 00:00:49,748
In America, no matter how
wealthy or powerful, you
23
00:00:49,749 --> 00:00:53,486
should play by the same set
of rules as everybody else.
24
00:00:53,486 --> 00:00:53,986
Alright, thanks.
25
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:56,456
I'm going to take a couple
questions with that.
26
00:00:56,456 --> 00:00:57,991
Let's see.
27
00:00:57,991 --> 00:00:59,559
Narrator: On Saturday, the
President gave a rousing
28
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:01,394
speech at the commencement
ceremony for Howard
29
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:03,897
University, one of the
nation's top historically
30
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:06,132
black colleges and
universities right here in
31
00:01:06,132 --> 00:01:06,966
Washington, DC.
32
00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:08,000
(applause)
33
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,537
The President: When your
journey seems to hard, and
34
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:13,239
when you run into a chorus
of cynics who tell you that
35
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,277
you're being foolish to keep
believing, or that you can't
36
00:01:17,277 --> 00:01:20,513
do something, or that you
should just give up, that
37
00:01:20,513 --> 00:01:21,548
you should just settle.
38
00:01:21,548 --> 00:01:23,817
You might say to yourself
a little phrase that I've
39
00:01:23,817 --> 00:01:27,152
found handy these
last 8 years.
40
00:01:27,153 --> 00:01:29,055
Yes we can.
41
00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:31,558
Congratulations
class of 2016!
42
00:01:31,558 --> 00:01:32,392
Good luck!
43
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:36,161
(applause)
44
00:01:36,162 --> 00:01:37,697
Narrator: On Mother's Day,
the First Lady traveled to
45
00:01:37,697 --> 00:01:40,633
Orlando, Florida to kick
off the Invictus Games, an
46
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:42,768
international sporting event
for service members
47
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:43,903
and veterans.
48
00:01:43,903 --> 00:01:46,940
More than 500 competitors
participate in these games,
49
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,976
representing 14 countries
and 10 different events.
50
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:52,712
On Monday, the 1983 North
Carolina State University
51
00:01:52,712 --> 00:01:54,714
men's basketball team
visited the White House to
52
00:01:54,714 --> 00:01:56,015
celebrate their memorable
53
00:01:56,015 --> 00:01:58,184
and historic national championship.
54
00:01:58,184 --> 00:01:59,118
Thurl Bailey: --
historically, the teams who
55
00:01:59,118 --> 00:02:00,586
won the NCAA Championship
would come
56
00:02:00,587 --> 00:02:03,323
to the White House and visit
the President.
57
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,024
For several reasons, we
weren't able to do that.
58
00:02:06,025 --> 00:02:10,563
And so, 33 years later, here
we are in the White House.
59
00:02:10,562 --> 00:02:11,798
Narrator: Later that day,
the President called a
60
00:02:11,798 --> 00:02:14,734
student reporter at Rutgers
University to preview the
61
00:02:14,734 --> 00:02:17,203
Commencement Address he'll
give there on Sunday.
62
00:02:17,203 --> 00:02:20,106
On Tuesday, the President
greeted the 2016 national
63
00:02:20,106 --> 00:02:23,343
champion UConn Huskies
for the 6th time.
64
00:02:23,343 --> 00:02:25,845
The team gave the
President a special gift.
65
00:02:25,845 --> 00:02:26,946
Geno Auriemma: We got
something
66
00:02:26,946 --> 00:02:27,547
for you, Mr. President.
67
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:28,248
The President: Look at this.
68
00:02:28,248 --> 00:02:29,448
Geno Auriemma: -- wherever
you're going to sit in this,
69
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:31,117
you'll know we always
have your back.
70
00:02:31,117 --> 00:02:31,885
The President:
It is beautiful.
71
00:02:31,885 --> 00:02:32,918
Thank you so much.
72
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,587
And I'm going to --
should I test it out.
73
00:02:34,587 --> 00:02:35,421
Multiple Speakers: Yes!
74
00:02:35,421 --> 00:02:36,890
(laughter)
75
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:41,361
(applause)
76
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:43,196
Narrator: On Wednesday, the
President signed the Defend
77
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:45,865
Trade Secrets Act of
2016 in the Oval Office.
78
00:02:45,865 --> 00:02:47,200
The President: -- and I am
now going to use all these
79
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,667
pens to sign it.
80
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:51,771
I'm always happy
when we pass bills.
81
00:02:51,771 --> 00:02:53,206

with us online, and
82

The President:
Good to see you.
88
00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:03,416
You a coach?
89
00:03:03,416 --> 00:03:04,417
No?
90
00:03:04,417 --> 00:03:05,051

102
00:03:15,929 --> 00:03:16,496
The President: Alright.

00:03:16,496 --> 00:03:18,064
You're playing hookie

(laughter)
105
00:03:19,966 --> 00:03:21,334
It's okay.

It's alright.
107
00:03:21,801 --> 00:03:23,268
We'll take a picture so
that your teacher knows you
108
00:03:23,269 --> 00:03:24,470
weren't lying about it.
109
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:25,238
