congratulate everybody. The Dow Jones industrial average just broke for the first time in history. 30,000. It's now that's good. It's great for jobs, and it's good for everything. And this is the ninth time that we set a record during the course of 2020. And it's the 48th time that we set the record during the Trump administration, and there's never been anything like that. So I just want to congratulate everybody that works so hard. The White House, but maybe most importantly, the people of our country, tremendous achievement. The first lady and I are thrilled to welcome you all to the beautiful Rose Garden where the first lady actually worked very hard on renovating. It was 61 years. It was in rough shape. Very big job. Actually. When you go to the wires underground, people have no idea how complex it is. But, uh, you've done a fantastic job, thank you very much. And we're also very happy to have with us my daughter Ivanka and Jared and Theodore. Arabella. Joseph, thank you very much for coming. They like the turkey, right? Thank you very much. On behalf of the entire Trump family I wanna wish every American a healthy and very happy Thanksgiving. We're here today to continue a beloved annual tradition. Theophile Fischel presidential pardon of a very, very fortunate turkey. Because Thanksgiving is a special day for Turkey's, I guess probably for the most part, not a very good one when you think about it. The first turkey to dodge the White House dinner table received unofficial clemency when President Abraham Lincoln's son Tad, begged his father to spare his new friend. For the past 73 years, the National Turkey Federation has presented the national Thanksgiving turkey to the president, starting under President George H. W. Bush. Thes birds have received a formal pardon every single year. Today is my honor to present to you this year's lucky bird corn and just in case we needed him cob, corn and cop that's not too hard to remember, is it? Thes two magnificent gobblers were selected from Theophile Fischel, presidential flock of 30 Turkey's some real beauties. They were raised by the chairman of the National Turkey Federation himself. Ron card L Ron, thank you very much. Ron, please stand up. Great job, Ron. Thank you for being here and your family. Beautiful family. Thank you very much for being here. Appreciate it. Like so many presidential flocks, this one started in the great state of Iowa in what can only been described as an act of blatant pandering. And by the way, I love the state of Iowa. Thes two turkeys sought to win the support of Iowans across the state by naming themselves corn and cop. After today's ceremony, these birds will retire under the care of skilled veterinarians at Iowa State University of Tremendous University in Ames. Once they're, people of all ages will be able to visit them and learn about poultry science, veterinary medicine and the noble American tradition of farming. We love our farmers, I'll tell you. And we hope, and we know that's gonna happen. That corn and Cobb have a very long, happy and memorable life. This year, our nation commemorates the 4/100 anniversary of the Pilgrim's landing on Plymouth Rock. After arriving in the New World, the brave men and women of the Mayflower endured a bitter and dangerous winter. Very, very dangerous, with many were sick, most were starving and all were praying for a miracle. Thankfully, God heard their prayers. From our earliest days, America has always been a story of perseverance and triumph, determination and strength, loyalty and faith. This week, in a time that is very unusual but in so many ways very, very good what we've endured and been able to endure with the vaccines now coming out one after another, it's an incredible thing that happened, one of the greatest medical achievements that this planet has ever seen. But it's time to remember that we live in a great, great country, the greatest of them all. And there's nothing even close a Sfar. As I'm concerned, every American can be united and Thanksgiving to God for the incredible gifts he has bestowed upon us. The blessings of family community and this exceptional, beautiful and great country is greater than ever before. During this Thanksgiving, we extend our eternal gratitude to the doctors, nurses, health care workers and scientists who have waged the battle against the China virus. And we give thanks for the vaccines and therapies that will soon end the pandemic. It's just just such a tremendous feeling to know that they're coming and they're becoming probably starting next week or shortly thereafter. we send our love to every member of the armed forces and the law enforcement heroes risking their lives to keep America say to keep America great. And as I say, America first shouldn't go away from that America. First, we give thanks to the priceless freedoms that we've inherited. And we ask God to watch over and protect our nation and its people during this incredible holiday. And in all of the years to come, we ask that of God. Once again, Melanie and I wish to thank everybody for your incredible courtesies and also wish you a happy Thanksgiving. And now it's time for the moment of our guests of honor.
