- Madame, first lady, how do you like the tree?

JILL BIDEN: I love the tree. How do you like the tree?

- Beautiful.

- It's beautiful.

JILL BIDEN: It's beautiful, and this is the family that gave us the tree. They're from Pennsylvania, the whole family. You should come up and get a picture here.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Yeah, this is my grandson. He's two. He wanted to come out and see the tree.

- What's your grandson's name?

JILL BIDEN: Bo. Do you want to tell them anything about the tree?

- Well, it's a [? Cancala ?] fir. It was planted about 20 years ago, and it was in a patch of trees that we ended up harvesting. And there was something special about this tree, so we decided to keep it just for this event. And low and behold, we were successful enough to win the national competition last year, and that gave us the honor to put this tree here in the White House.

JILL BIDEN: [INAUDIBLE] Thank you so much for giving [INAUDIBLE].
