00:00Music
00:30Thank you very much, and I hope you like our new,
00:37beautiful patio with matching stone to the White House.
00:41If this were grass today, you'd be sinking into the
00:43mud like they've done for many years, and you would
00:46be very unhappy.
00:47Please, thank you very much.
00:50This was a big day.
00:51It was a pardon day for a very important beast.
00:58On behalf of the First Lady and the entire Trump
01:00family, I want to wish all Americans a very, very
01:04happy Thanksgiving.
01:05It's a great time of the year, and our country is
01:07doing really well, economically, like we've
01:09never done before.
01:11Today, we continue a time-honored American
01:14tradition.
01:16Boy, that's a well-trained turkey.
01:21See how happy he is?
01:23In a few moments, I will grant a full, absolute, and
01:26unconditional presidential pardon to two handsome
01:30Thanksgiving turkeys.
01:32And this is their lucky day.
01:33This is a lucky day for them.
01:35But before going any further, I want to make an
01:38important announcement, because you remember last
01:41year, after a thorough and very rigorous
01:44investigation by Pam Bondi and all of the people at
01:50the Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, the
01:54White House Counsel's Office, and the Department
01:57of Everything.
01:59We have a Department of Everything.
02:00You know what that is?
02:01I think that's called the White House.
02:04Into a terrible situation caused by a man named
02:08Sleepy Joe Biden.
02:10He used an auto pen last year for the turkey's
02:13pardon.
02:14So I have the official duty to determine, and I
02:18have determined that last year's turkey pardons are
02:20totally invalid, as are the pardons of about every
02:25other person that was pardoned other than, where's
02:30Hunter?
02:32No, Hunter's was good.
02:33That was the one pardon, Pam, that was good, right?
02:35The rest of them are all invalid.
02:36I don't know what the hell you're going to do about
02:38that, but that's now we're going to take a little of
02:40the joking.
02:41That is a mess.
02:42But they're hereby null and void.
02:45The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year
02:49have been located, and they were on their way to be
02:51processed, in other words, to be killed.
02:54But I have stopped that journey, and I am
02:57officially pardoning them.
03:00And they will not be served for Thanksgiving dinner.
03:04We saved them in the nick of time.
03:06This one has plenty of time, but they were saved in
03:08the nick of time.
03:10We're thrilled to be joined today by Vice
03:12President J.D. Vance, Second Lady Usha Vance,
03:16their daughter Mirabelle, and along with Attorney
03:19General Pam Bondi, Secretaries Marco Rubio,
03:22Scott Besant, Pete Hegseth, Brooke Rollins,
03:26Howard Lutnick, Linda McMahon, Scott Turner,
03:30Administrator Lee Zeldin, who's done a great job.
03:34A nuclear power plant gets approved in less than a week.
03:37Okay?
03:38I'm only kidding, but pretty close to that.
03:41And we have more.
03:42Where is Lee?
03:43Stand up, Lee.
03:43One of my great superstars.
03:46It used to take 20 years before you got rejected
03:52when you put in an application.
03:53Now we're doing them in a matter of weeks, right?
03:56And that's why we have the biggest plants anywhere
03:59in the world.
04:00We're leading in AI.
04:00We're leading in everything.
04:02Our auto plants are pouring back into our country.
04:04Wait till you see the jobs coming with them.
04:07But there are many of them are under construction,
04:09but Lee's done a great job in getting those approvals.
04:11I appreciate it very much.
