And, yes, it's true, the folks in North Dakota, the folks in Bison Nation are not tired of winning, never will be tired of winning. But I just want you to know that this team really epitomizes the incredible culture of our great state. And we couldn't be better represented. In fact, as I often I say about town, John Hoeven and I, and Kelly Armstrong, you know, we're really big stuff. Right? We get more street cred knowing these guys then being us. (Laughter.) So thank you for everything.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much.
SENATOR HOEVEN: This is our University President, Dean Bresciani.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, absolutely. Dean, please.
MR. BRESCIANI: Thank you, Mr. President. It is absolutely an honor to be here. It's an honor to have been affiliated with a team that set an NCAA record for winning seven national championships.
But what the real honor is, is the hundred-some-odd young men we're standing with today, Mr. President. They are the best of the best. And I don't mean that just in an athletic sense. They are exceptional human beings. They are exceptional future leaders. And I have never been so proud to be affiliated with a team as I am this one. Thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: You have done a fantastic job. Thank you very much. Thanks, Dean. (Applause.)
Please, come on. Come here, Darrius. How about Darrius? We're going to watch Darrius on Sunday, too. (Laughter.)
SENATOR HOEVEN: You've got to practice up for all those NFL games, baby.
MR. SHEPHERD: Yeah, we just want to thank you for having us here, Mr. President. It's been an honor to be here and, you know, see the White House and experience this. It's something we'll never forget and be able to share with our families. So thank you.
THE PRESIDENT: Does he have big speed?
SENATOR HOEVEN: Oh, yeah, he's fast. Major jets.
THE PRESIDENT: Way to go, man. Thanks. Thank you.
Go eat up. Enjoy yourselves, everybody. Kathryn, thank you very much. It's great.
Q Mr. President, are you going to cooperate with Mr. Nadler?
THE PRESIDENT: I cooperate all the time with everybody. And you know the beautiful thing? No collusion. It's all a hoax. You're going to learn about that as you grow older. It's a political hoax. There's no collusion. There's no anything.
Folks, go and eat up. (Applause.)
