00:00Based on your temperament and commitment to being productive members of society, I hereby pardon Peach and Blossom.
00:15I will now head back to Farm America Minnesota Center for Agriculture and Interpretation to serve as educational ambassadors of America's top turkey growing state and inspire the next generation of agricultural students.
00:29Congratulations.
00:31Let me close on a more serious note.
00:34This event marks the official start of the holiday season here in Washington.
00:39It's also my last time to speak here as your president during this season and give thanks and gratitude.
00:46So let me say to you, it's been the honor of my life.
00:50I'm forever grateful.
00:51Later today, my wife Jill and I will travel to Staten Island, New York for a Friendsgiving with members of the Coast Guard and their families to demonstrate our gratitude for their service and sacrifice like my son.
01:05We're also keeping our hearts, those who have lost so much, who will have an empty seat at the Thanksgiving dinner table tonight, or excuse me, Thursday night.
