Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by head coach Todd Golden. [MUSIC] >> That's a big crowd. That's really, really nice. I just met you, coach. Now I see why you won. >> [LAUGH] >> But they had to put out, too. >> Wow, you're a tall guy, he's a good-looking guy, isn't he? Congratulations, fantastic job. That's not easy, right, coach? Today we're delighted to welcome the 2025 NCAA basketball champions, the University of Florida Gators. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Hello, Tim. Congratulations also to a really great young head coach, Todd Golden on the entire job he did, the season, the inspiration that he gave these players. He's unbelievable as a coach. I heard a lot of great things about him. Who would I like to be his agent? >> [LAUGH] >> Don't go anywhere, coach, stay, stay, coach. You can't leave with less than 60 seconds left on the clock. Houston led by one point. Did you think you were gonna win? >> I did. >> [LAUGH] >> That's what he gets paid for. >> [APPLAUSE] >> That's good. Houston then fouled Elijah Martin. Okay, where's Elijah? >> [APPLAUSE] >> Giving him two free throws, which he easily sank. Were you nervous? I always think, here's a guy, he's gotta sink, it's not that easy. I can name a couple of very big players that didn't do too well in that circumstance. Were you nervous when you were- >> No. >> [LAUGH] >> That's pretty good. He sank them both, coach, right? If you didn't sink him, you wouldn't be up here right now. >> [LAUGH] >> And nobody would ever call you again. That's great. That's a lot of pressure. >> President, thank you so much. And to show a token of our appreciation, we have an autographed team basketball. And a Donald Trump jersey with number 47 on it, all right? >> [APPLAUSE] >> To honor your 47th term as President of the United States of America. >> Thank you very much, that's beautiful, thank you. >> Thank you all very much, go Gators. >> [APPLAUSE] >> I'm not sure they'll want to. I think the most exciting room anywhere in the world is called the Oval Office. And I'm gonna invite the coach and the team down to the Oval Office. I might even ask our great representatives, senators, Marco, everybody to come down with him. And we'll take some pictures in the Oval Office. And I have a special little coin for them, a really nice coin. I hope they never lose it, cuz if they do, it's a lot of money, that coin. >> [LAUGH] >> But so let's see, do you wanna go to the Oval Office? >> Yes, sir. >> [LAUGH] >> I thought they were gonna say that. Thank you all very much, great team, great, great everything, thank you. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Fantastic, thank you very much.
