  • WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WOULD LIKE INTRODUCE THE PRESIDENT OF

  • THE UNITED STATES. [CHEERS AND

  • APPLAUSE] (music) >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. HOW DO YOU LIKE MY

  • NEW ENTRANCE MUSIC? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] RUSH LIMBAUGH WARNED

  • YOU ABOUT THIS. SECOND TERM, MAYBE. [LAUGHTER] -- SECOND TERM,

  • BABY. [LAUGHTER] WE ARE CHANGING THINGS AROUND HERE A LITTLE

  • BIT. ACTUALLY MY ADVISORS WERE A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT THE NEW

  • ENTRANCE MUSIC. THEY ARE LITTLE BIT MORE TRADITIONAL. THEY

  • SUGGESTED I SHOULD START WITH SOME NOTES AT MY OWN EXPENSE JUST

  • TO TAKE MYSELF DOWN A PEG. I WAS LIKE, AFTER FOUR AND A HALF

  • YEARS, HOW MANY PEGS ARE THERE LEFT? [LAUGHTER] I WANT TO THANK

  • THE WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS. ED, YOU ARE DOING AN ASTOUNDING

  • JOB. [APPLAUSE] WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE. FOR

  • ALL OF THE DIGNITARIES WHO ARE HERE AND EVERYONE, THANK YOU FOR

  • THE OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND ALL THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE IN

  • UNIFORM EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND OF COURSE, OUR EXTRAORDINARY

  • FIRST LADY, MICHELLE OBAMA. [APPLAUSE] EVERYBODY LOVES

  • MICHELLE. SHE IS ON THE COVER OF VOGUE. HIGH POLL NUMBERS.

  • DON'T WORRY. I GOT MY OWN MAGAZINE COVER. [LAUGHTER] I GET IT.

  • I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M NOT THE STRAPPING

  • YOUNG PERSON I USED TO BE. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] TIME PASSES.

  • YOU GET A LITTLE GRAY. AND YET, EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I

  • STILL MAKE ROOKIE MISTAKES. I'M IN CALIFORNIA AT A FUNDRAISER

  • AND HAVING A NICE TIME. I HAPPEN TO MENTION THAT A WOMAN IS

  • THE BEST LOOKING ATTORNEY IN THE COUNTRY. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, I

  • GOT TROUBLE WHEN I GOT BACK HOME. [LAUGHTER] WHO KNEW ERIC

  • HOLDER WAS SO SENSITIVE? [LAUGHTER] THEN THERE IS THE EASTER

  • EGG ROLL. LOOKS LIKE A NICE, FUN EVENT WITH THE KIDS. I GO TO

  • THE BASKETBALL COURTS. I TOOK MONEY TO SHOTS -- 22 SHOTS. MADE

  • 2. 2 HITS. 20 MINUTES. THE EXECUTIVES AT NBC ASKED, WHAT IS

  • YOUR SECRET? [LAUGHTER] SO, YES, MAYBE I HAVE LOST A STEP, BUT

  • SOME THINGS ARE BEYOND MY CONTROL. THIS WHOLE CONTROVERSY ABOUT

  • DAISY GOING TO CUBA -- JAY-Z GOING TO CUBA. [LAUGHTER] OF

  • COURSE, EVERYONE HAS GOT PLENTY OF VICE. -- ADVICE. ONE SAID I

  • COULD SOLVE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS IF I WAS JUST LIKE MICHAEL

  • DOUGLAS IN THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. MICHAEL, WHAT IS YOUR

  • SECRET? COULD IT BE THAT YOU WERE AN ACTOR IN AN AARON SORKIN

  • LIBERAL FANTASY? [LAUGHTER] MIGHT THAT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO IT?

  • I DO NOT KNOW. CHECK IN WITH ME. MAYBE IT IS SOMETHING ELSE.

  • ANYWAY, I RECOGNIZE THAT THIS JOB CAN TAKE A TOLL ON YOU. I

  • UNDERSTAND SECOND TERM YOU NEED A BURST OF NEW ENERGY. TRY SOME

  • NEW THINGS. WE ARE WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING. WE BORROWED ONE OF

  • MICHELE'S TIPS. [LAUGHTER] I THOUGHT THIS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD,

  • BUT NO BOUNDS -- BOUNCE. ANYWAY, I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO

  • CONAN O'BRIEN. [APPLAUSE] I WAS TALKING TO ED. I UNDERSTAND

  • WHEN THEY ARE CONSIDERING OWN AND O'BRIEN FOR THE GIG, THERE

  • WAS THE AGE-OLD DILEMMA TO OFFER IT TO HIM NOW OR WAIT FIVE

  • YEARS UNTIL THEY GIVE IT TO JIMMY FALLON. [CROWD OOHS] THAT WAS

  • A LITTLE HARSH. I LOVE CONAN. OF COURSE, CNN HAS TAKEN SOME

  • KNOCKS LATELY. I ADMIRE THEIR COMMITMENT. MY FORMER ADVISERS

  • THAT HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO THE DARK SIDE, DAVE OLDID AXLE RIGHT

  • -- AXELRODE. THE HISTORY CHANNEL IS NOT HERE. I GUESS THEY ARE

  • EMBARRASSED ABOUT THE WHOLE OBAMA IS THE DOUBLE THING. -- DEVIL

  • THING. THAT NEVER KEPT FOX NEWS FROM SHOWING UP. THEY THOUGHT

  • THE COMPARISON WAS NOT FAIR TO SATAN. [LAUGHTER] THE MEDIA

  • LANDSCAPE IS CHANGING RAPIDLY. YOU CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE. --

  • WITH IT. I REMEMBER WHEN BUZZ FEED WAS SOMETHING I DID AROUND 2

  • A.M. IT IS TRUE. [LAUGHTER] RECENTLY I FOUND A NEW FAVORITE

  • SOURCE FOR POLITICAL NEWS. THESE GUYS ARE GREAT. EVERYONE

  • SHOULD CHECK IT OUT. IT IS CALLED WHITEHOUSE.GOV. I CANNOT GET

  • ENOUGH OF IT. THE FACT IS, I REALLY DO RESPECT THE PRESS. I

  • RECOGNIZE THAT THE PRESS AND I HAVE DIFFERENT JOBS TO DO. MY

  • JOB IS TO BE PRESIDENT. YOUR JOB IS TO KEEP ME HUMBLE. FRANKLY

  • I THINK I'M DOING MY JOB BETTER. [LAUGHTER] PART OF THE PROBLEM

  • IS THAT EVERYONE IS SO CYNICAL. WE ARE CONSTANTLY FEEDING

  • CYNICISM AND CONSPIRACIES. REMEMBER A FEW MONTHS AGO PRIME

  • MINISTER SHOULDN'T PUT OUT A PHOTOGRAPH OF ME GOING -- SHOOTING

  • AT CAMP DAVID? A NUMBER OF PEOPLE INSISTED THIS HAS BEEN

  • PHOTOSHOP. TONIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO CONFESS -- YOU ARE RIGHT.

  • CAN WE SHOW THEM THE ACTUAL PHOTO? [LAUGHTER] WE WERE TRYING TO

  • TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT. THAT WAS AN AWESOME DAY. [LAUGHTER]

  • THERE ARE OTHER NEW PLAYERS IN THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE AS WELL LIKE

  • SUPER PACS. DID YOU KNOW THAT SHELDON SPENT $100 MILLION OF HIS

  • OWN MONEY LAST YEAR ON NEGATIVE ADS? HE MUST REALLY DISLIKE ME.

  • TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY. THAT IS OPRAH MONEY. YOU COULD BUY

  • AN ISLAND AND CALL IT NOBAMA FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY. SHELDON

  • WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF OFFERING ME WHEN HUNDRED MILLION

  • DOLLARS TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] I

  • PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN IT, BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

  • [LAUGHTER] MICHELLE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT. [LAUGHTER] YOU THINK

  • I'M JOKING. [LAUGHTER] I KNOW REPUBLICANS ARE STILL SORTING OUT

  • WHAT HAPPENED IN 2012. WHAT THEY ALL AGREE UPON IS REACHING

  • OUT. CALL ME SELF CENTERED, BUT I COULD THINK OF WHEN MINORITY

  • THEY COULD START WITH. [LAUGHTER] HELLO. [APPLAUSE] THINK OF ME

  • AS A TRIAL RUN. SEE HOW IT GOES. [LAUGHTER] IF THEY WON'T COME

  • TO ME, I WILL COME TO THEM FOR STOP -- COME TO THEM. I RECENTLY

  • HAD A DINNER WITH A NUMBER OF REPUBLICAN SENATORS. I WILL ADMIT

  • IT WAS NOT EASY. A PROPOSED -- I PROPOSED A TOAST. OF COURSE,

  • SOME FOLKS STILL DON'T THINK I SPEND ENOUGH TIME WITH CONGRESS.

  • WHY DON'T YOU GET A TREAT -- DRINK WITH MITCH MCCONNELL, THEY

  • ASKED? REALLY? WHY DON'T YOU GET A DRINK WITH MITCH MCCONNELL?

  • [LAUGHTER] I'M SORRY. I GET FRUSTRATED SOMETIMES. [LAUGHTER]

  • I'M NOT GIVING UP. IN FACT, I'M TAKING MY CHARM OFFENSIVE ON

  • THE ROAD. SECOND BARBECUE WITH TED CRUZ. KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS

  • CONCERT WITH RAND PAUL. AND A BOOK BURNING WITH MICHELE

  • BACHMANN. [MIX OF LAUGHS AND OOHS] MY CHARM OFFENSIVE HAS LET

  • ME LEARN SOME INTERESTING THINGS GOING ON IN CONGRESS. IT

  • TURNS OUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. BUT THE POINT OF MY CHARM

  • OFFENSIVE IS SIMPLE. WE NEED TO MAKE PROGRESS ON SOME IMPORTANT

  • ISSUES. REPUBLICANS FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SEQUESTER AND NOW

  • THEY CANNOT STOP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY HATE IT, LIKE WE

  • ARE TRAPPED IN A TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM. [LAUGHTER] ONE SENATOR WHO

  • HAD REACHED ACROSS THE AISLE RECENTLY IS MARCO RUBIO. I DON'T

  • KNOW ABOUT 2016. HE HAS NOT FINISHED A SINGLE TERM IN THE

  • SENATE AND HE THINK HE IS READY TO BE PRESIDENT. KIDS THESE

  • DAYS. ON THURSDAY, I WENT TO THE OPENING OF THE BUSH

  • PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY IN DALLAS. WONDERFUL EVENT. THAT GOT ME

  • INSPIRED TO GET STARTED ON MY OWN LEGACY. IT WILL BEGIN BY

  • BUILDING ANOTHER EDIFICE RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUSH LIBRARY. CAN

  • WE SHOW THAT? [LAUGHTER] I'M ALSO HARD AT WORK ON PLANS FOR THE

  • OBAMA LIBRARY. SOME HAVE SUGGESTED WE PUT IT IN MY BIRTHPLACE,

  • BUT I WOULD RATHER KEEP IT IN THE UNITED STATES. [LAUGHTER]

  • [APPLAUSE] DID ANYONE NOT SEE THAT JOE COMING? -- JOKE COMING?

  • [LAUGHTER] ONLY GALLUP? DICK MORRIS? [LAUGHTER] SPEAKING OF

  • PRESIDENTS AND THEIR LEGACIES, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE A

  • WONDERFUL RUN, AND STEVEN SPIELBERG AND DANIEL DAY-LEWIS WHO

  • ARE HERE TONIGHT. WE HAD A SCREENING OF THEIR MOST RECENT FILM

  • "LINCOLN." EXTRAORDINARY FILM. I'M NERVOUS ABOUT STEPHEN'S NEXT

  • PROJECT. I SAW A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK ON HBO. LET'S CHECK IT

  • OUT. ROLL THE TAPE. >> I WAS THRILLED THAT LINCOLN WAS A

  • SUCCESS. I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. IN THE MIDDLE OF

  • THE NIGHT I WOKE UP AND IT HIT ME. OBAMA. WHY WAIT? PICKING THE

  • RIGHT ACTOR TO PLAY OBAMA, THAT WAS A CHALLENGE. WE NEVER GOT

  • HIS TRANSCRIPTS. THEY SAY HE IS KIND OF ALOOF. I NEED SOMEONE

  • TO BECOME BARACK OBAMA. IT TURNS OUT THE ANSWER WAS RIGHT IN

  • FRONT OF ME ALL ALONG. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS. [LAUGHTER] HE NAILED

  • IT. >> IT TOOK A WHILE. HELLO, OHIO. I LOVE YOU BACK. LET ME BE

  • CLEAR ABOUT THAT. [LAUGHTER] >> ONCE WE HAD DANIEL TO PLAY

  • OBAMA, WE HAD TO GUESS THE REST OF THE TEAM. >> WORKING WITH A

  • LEGEND MIKE DANIEL IS INTIMIDATING. HE MAKES EVERYONE BETTER.

  • WITHOUT THEM, I NEVER COULD HAVE PLAYED JOE BIDEN. LITERALLY.

  • I AM JOE BIDEN. >> THE HARDEST PART, TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HIS

  • MOTIVATIONS. WHAT MAKES THEM TICK? WHY DOESN'T HE GET MAD? IF I

  • WAS HIM, I GET MAD ALL THE TIME. BUT I AM NOT. I AM DANIEL

  • DAY-LEWIS. [LAUGHTER] [APPLAUSE] >> REMARKABLE TRANSFORMATION.

  • DO I REALLY SUMMIT THAT? -- SOUND LIKE THAT? RACHEL MARX ONCE

  • SAID -- GROUCHO MARX ONCE SAID, SENATOR CRUISE, THAT IS GROUCHO

  • MARX, NOT CARL. THE OTHER GUY. HE ONCE TOLD AN AUDIENCE, BEFORE

  • I SPEAK COME A I SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY. ALONG THOSE SAME

  • LINES, I WANT TO CLOSE ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE. THERE HAS BEEN

  • NO SHORTAGE OF NEWS TO COVER OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. THE

  • SUSPENSE AND VERY HARD DAYS FOR MANY OF OUR CITIZENS. EVEN AS

  • WE GATHER HERE TONIGHT, OUR THOUGHTS ARE NOT FAR FROM THE

  • PEOPLE OF BOSTON AND THE PEOPLE OF WEST, TEXAS AND THE FAMILIES

  • IN THE MIDWEST COPING WITH SOME TERRIBLE FLOODS. WE HAVE HAD

  • SOME DIFFICULT DAYS. BUT EVEN WHEN THE DAYS SEEMED DARKEST, WE

  • HAVE SEEN HUMANITY SHINE AT ITS BRIGHTEST. WE HAVE SEEN FIRST

  • RESPONDERS AND NATIONAL GUARDSMEN WHO DASHED INTO DANGER.

  • LAW-ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHO LIVED THEIR OATH, TO SERVE AND

  • PROTECT. AND EVERYDAY AMERICANS OPENING THEIR HOMES AND THEIR

  • HEARTS TO PERFECT STRANGERS. WE ALSO SAW JOURNALIST THAT THEIR

  • BEST. ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT TOOK THEIR TIME TO WAIT UPSTREAM

  • THROUGH THE TORRENT OF DIGITAL RUMORS TO JUST FAMILY DIDN'T

  • VERIFY FACT -- VERIFY LEADS AND FACT. IF ANYONE WONDERS WHETHER

  • NEWSPAPERS ARE A THING OF THE PAST, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PICK

  • UP OR LOG ON TO PAPERS LIKE "THE BOSTON GLOBE YURIKO -- "THE

  • BOSTON GLOBE." [APPLAUSE] WHEN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE WIDER

  • WORLD NEEDED THEM MOST, THEY WERE THERE. MAKING SENSE OF THE

  • EVENTS THAT MIGHT, AT FIRST BLUSH, SEEM BEYOND OUR

  • COMPREHENSION. THAT IS WHAT GREAT JOURNALISM IS. THAT IS WHAT

  • GREAT JOURNALIST DO. THAT IS IP WILLIAMS NUDE NICKNAME AROUND

  • THE NBC NEWSROOM IS BIG HAPPY -- THAT IS WHY PETE WILLIAMS' NEW

  • NICKNAME AROUND THE NBC NEWSROOM IS BIG PAPI. I GOT A CHANCE TO

  • MEET MANY OF THE VOLUNTEERS AND POLICE OFFICERS WHO RACED TO

  • HELP WHEN HARDSHIP HIT. I WAS REMINDED, AS I ALWAYS AM WHEN I

  • MEET OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM, WHETHER THEY ARE ABROAD OR

  • HERE BACK HOME, OUR WALTER REED. THEY DON'T DO IT TO BE

  • HONORED. THEY DON'T DO IT TO BE CELEBRATED. THEY DO IT BECAUSE

  • THEY LOVE THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY LOVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND

  • THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY. THESE MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD INSPIRE

  • ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM TO LIVE UP TO THOSE SAME STANDARDS. TO

  • BE WORTHY OF THEIR TRUST. TO DO OUR JOBS WITH THE SAME

  • FIDELITY AND THE SAME INTEGRITY AND THE SAME SENSE OF PURPOSE

  • AND THE SAME LOVE OF COUNTRY. IF WE ARE ONLY FOCUSED ON

  • PROFITS OR RATINGS OR POLLS, THEN WE ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE

  • CYNICISM THAT SO MANY PEOPLE FEEL RIGHT NOW. [APPLAUSE] AND SO

  • THOSE OF US IN THIS ROOM TONIGHT, WE ARE INCREDIBLY LUCKY. THE

  • FACT IS, WE CAN DO BETTER. ALL OF US. THOSE OF US IN PUBLIC

  • OFFICE, THOSE OF US IN THE PRESS, THOSE WHO PRODUCE

  • ENTERTAINMENT FOR OUR KIDS, THOSE WITH POWER, THOSE WITH

  • INFLUENCE, ALL OF US, INCLUDING MYSELF, WE CAN STRIVE TO VALUE

  • THOSE THINGS THAT I SUSPECT LED MOST OF US TO DO THE WORK THAT

  • WE DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. BECAUSE WE BELIEVED IN SOMETHING THAT

  • WAS TRUE. WE BELIEVED IN SERVICE. IN THE IDEA THAT WE CAN HAVE

  • A LASTING, POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE AROUND

  • US. THAT IS OUR OBLIGATION. THAT IS A TASK WE SHOULD GLADLY

  • EMBRACE ON BEHALF OF ALL OF THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE COUNTING ON

  • US. ON BEHALF OF THIS COUNTRY THAT HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH. THANK

  • YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT WORK YOU DO. GOD BLESS YOU ALL, MAY GOD

  • BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. [APPLAUSE] >> THANK

  • EARLIER,

  • BRIDGE

WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I WOULD LIKE INTRODUCE THE PRESIDENT OF
