00:23the U.S. delegation for the opening ceremonies, and cheered on Team USA.

00:29And you saw her out there being very supportive.

00:54The President's a Christian.

00:55Was he offended by it?

00:56I just answered your question.

00:59I don't have anything else to add.

01:00Did he see it?

01:03Thank you so much.
