00:00Mr. President, should people who have taken part in, for example, pro-Palestinian protests
00:06across the world be concerned about being able to join the World Cup and watch it here
00:13in the U.S.?
00:14Well, I don't know what you mean by that, but people that have taken part in protests,
00:18I think people are allowed to protest.
00:20You have to do it in a reasonable manner, not necessarily friendly, but reasonable.
00:27Otherwise, Pam will come after you, and you're going to have a big problem.
00:30You're going to have a big problem, right, Pam?
00:34She's doing a good job, too.
00:36Well, my whole team here is doing a fantastic job.
00:38We're very proud of them.
00:40So, yeah, you have a right to protest.
00:42Yeah, thank you.
00:44Go ahead.
00:45Yeah.
00:47Do you support Israel's plan to conquer Gaza if Hamas doesn't agree to a deal during your visit to Italy?
00:54These are very strange questions.
00:55I never like when they read them off a machine.
00:59I don't know.
00:59Who's sending a question to you?
01:01And let's not talk about that now.
01:03We're talking about the World Cup.
01:05Go ahead.
01:05What else?
01:06Anything else?
01:06I think we're pretty well set.
01:08I want to thank everybody, and we're going to make this tremendously successful.
01:12And you can see Johnny's a very enthusiastic man.
01:15He's got great enthusiasm, and that's one of the reasons that you've had such success over the last number of years that you've been there.
01:22Amazing.
01:22He's like somebody that just woke up on Christmas morning as a young child and saw those toys under the tree.
01:30And that enthusiasm really plays very well, I have to say.
01:34And you've done a fantastic job as the head, and we're going to do what we have to do.
01:38And thank you very much.
01:39Thank you, everybody, very much.
01:40Appreciate it.
