Olivia Munn: Hey everyone.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,070
I'm Olivia Munn, and you're
watching West Wing Week.

3
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:06,070
Narrator: Welcome to
the West Wing Week,

4
00:00:06,072 --> 00:00:08,072
your guide to everything
that's happening

5
00:00:08,074 --> 00:00:09,044
at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

6
00:00:09,042 --> 00:00:11,112
This week, the president
unveiled the "It's On Us"

7
00:00:11,111 --> 00:00:14,611
Campaign, signed the America's
Promise Summit Declaration,

8
00:00:14,614 --> 00:00:16,214
and headed to the
Big Apple for

9
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:18,886
the Annual United Nations
General Assembly.

10
00:00:18,885 --> 00:00:21,285
It's September 19th
to September 25th,

11
00:00:21,287 --> 00:00:23,787
or, America's always stronger
when we stand united.

12
00:00:23,790 --> 00:00:25,630
The President: -- when
we stand united --

13
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:27,095
Narrator: On Friday, the
president and vice president

14
00:00:27,093 --> 00:00:30,833
launched "It's On Us," a public
awareness and education campaign

15
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:34,030
that works to prevent sexual
assault on college campuses.

16
00:00:34,033 --> 00:00:36,073
The President: This is
on all of us, every one

17
00:00:36,069 --> 00:00:38,109
of us, to fight campus
sexual assault.

18
00:00:38,104 --> 00:00:40,074
Olivia Munn: This is a
really serious issue,

19
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:42,943
and what's really important
is to educate people

20
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:45,912
and also empowering
people to speak up.

21
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:47,752
Kevin Love: It's
teaching, you know,

22
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:50,247
man to be proactive
instead of reactive.

23
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:52,420
So I think it's very important
that we're here today

24
00:00:52,419 --> 00:00:55,159
and to get that message out
and just continue to learn

25
00:00:55,155 --> 00:00:57,955
and hearing the statistics,
it's pretty staggering.

26
00:00:57,957 --> 00:01:00,157
So it's on us to
change all this.

27
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,960
Narrator: On Monday,
the president signed

28
00:01:01,961 --> 00:01:04,631
the America's Promise Summit Declaration, which calls

29
00:01:04,631 --> 00:01:07,371
on all citizens to help the
youth of America realize

30
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:08,567
their full potential.

31
00:01:08,568 --> 00:01:10,338
The President: The
concept is simple,

32
00:01:10,336 --> 00:01:12,836
that our greatest
asset are our children.

33
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:16,279
The companies and organizations
and non-for-profits that are

34
00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:19,976
represented behind me under
Alma's leadership have

35
00:01:19,979 --> 00:01:23,079
contributed in so many ways, but
this is just a small sampling

36
00:01:23,082 --> 00:01:26,222
of the hundreds of organizations
around the country that are

37
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:28,919
doing great work every
single day and are learning

38
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,652
from each other.

39
00:01:29,656 --> 00:01:31,796
Narrator: On Tuesday morning,
the president addressed the

40
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:34,091
ongoing military operations
against the terrorist

41
00:01:34,093 --> 00:01:36,693
organization ISIL, then
he joined the first lady

42
00:01:36,696 --> 00:01:39,196
to travel to New York
City for the 69th session

43
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:41,269
of the United Nations
General Assembly.

44
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:43,267
First on the busy
agenda was addressing

45
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:44,769
the Climate Summit of 2014.

46
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:46,871
The President: I believe,
in the words of Dr. King,

47
00:01:46,873 --> 00:01:49,173
that there is such a
thing as being too late,

48
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:51,175
and for the sake of
future generations,

49
00:01:51,177 --> 00:01:54,417
our generation must move
toward a global compact

50
00:01:54,414 --> 00:01:57,384
to confront a changing
climate while we still can.

51
00:01:57,383 --> 00:01:59,453
Narrator: Later that afternoon,
the president stopped by the

52
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:01,452
Clinton Global Initiative's
annual meeting.

53
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,994
The President: Although it
sometimes causes friction,

54
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:07,130
the United States will not stop
speaking out for the human

55
00:02:07,126 --> 00:02:10,426
rights of all people, and
pushing governments to uphold

56
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:12,070
those rights and freedoms.

57
00:02:12,065 --> 00:02:14,735
We will not stop doing
that, because that's part

58
00:02:14,734 --> 00:02:15,874
of who we are.

59
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:16,399
(applause)

60
00:02:16,402 --> 00:02:18,742

61
00:02:18,738 --> 00:02:20,738
the United Nations

62
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:22,740
That afternoon, the president
convened a historic meeting

63
00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:24,742
of the United Nations
Security Council,

64
00:02:24,744 --> 00:02:26,744
addressing the
international response

65
00:02:26,746 --> 00:02:27,716
to foreign
terrorist fighters.

66
00:02:27,714 --> 00:02:29,714
On Thursday, back at
the United Nations,

67
00:02:29,716 --> 00:02:31,716
the president spoke about
the humanitarian response

68
00:02:31,718 --> 00:02:33,718
to the Ebola
epidemic in Africa.

69
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,720
The President: Everybody's
got to move fast in order

70
00:02:35,722 --> 00:02:37,722
for us to make a
difference, and if we do,

71
00:02:37,724 --> 00:02:39,724
