00:00Is he watching any of the Olympics?
00:03Like, have you taken in anything?
00:04Is he like, my phone is blowing up, so, like, what is it?
00:07Ms. Jean-Pierre.
00:08It's been great so far.
00:09The Olympics have been so great.
00:10Look, the President and the First Lady are certainly proudly cheering on Team USA.
00:18As you saw, the First Lady traveled to – bless you – traveled to Paris to lead the delegation,
00:23the U.S. delegation for the opening ceremonies, and cheered on Team USA.
00:29And you saw her out there being very supportive.
00:33And so the President certainly is proud of all the athletes competing on behalf of the
00:38U.S., on behalf of our nation, and he's going to continue to cheer them on.
00:42Great.
00:43And following up on that, did the President see the Last Supper controversy at the Olympics?
00:46Do you know –
00:47I don't have anything –
00:48The Last Supper controversy.
00:49I appreciate the question.
00:50I just don't have anything to share.
00:51Millions of Christians across the globe were offended by that.
00:52I understand.
00:53I understand.
00:54The President's a Christian.
00:55Was he offended by it?
00:56I just answered your question.
00:57But was the President offended by it?
00:58Did he see it?
00:59I don't have anything else to add.
01:00Did he see it?
01:01Did he see it?
01:03Thank you so much.
