00:00The President of the 2027 NFL Draft, that's a big thing.
00:03We'll be held right here in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., on the National
00:10Mall.
00:11And you get a little glimpse of it.
00:15Every year, hundreds of young football players have their dreams come true as the NFL teams
00:20across the land.
00:21And you just saw that last week.
00:23Select the best young players in America to join their ranks.
00:26Hundreds of thousands of football fans will travel all across our country to cheer them
00:32on in person.
00:33We expect D.C., but even for the country, because it's, to me, a very big deal.
00:39I'd like to thank NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Washington Commander's owner Josh Harris, and
00:46Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, Secretary Scott Turner, Secretary Doug Burgum.
00:53And I see Howard Lutnick is here, too, Commerce and some others that, if I could see past
00:59the press, I'd name you, but I can't.
01:02I'm pleased to reveal that the 2027 NFL Draft — that's a big thing — will be held right
01:09here in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., on the National Mall.
01:15When you get a little glimpse of it — I don't think — I was just saying to Roger, I don't
01:27think there's ever been anything like that.
01:29That's a good idea.
01:30In fact, maybe we could use it for other things, also.
01:33I have an idea.
01:35It's — it's going to be beautiful.
01:36It's going to be something that nobody else will ever be able to duplicate that, I don't
01:40suspect.
01:41It's very exciting.
01:42Every year, hundreds of young football players have their dreams come true as the NFL teams
01:47across the land — and you just saw that last week — select the best young players in
01:52America to join their ranks.
01:54Hundreds of thousands of football fans will travel all across our country to cheer them
01:59on in person.
02:01We expect, would you say, more than 100,000 people, I think.
02:06What is the capacity, would you think, it can hold?
02:08Because the mall can actually hold up to a million people, if you go all the way back.
02:13What do you think?
02:14Over three days, we'll be over a million.
02:15Oh, yeah.
02:16You're going to be — you're going to have —
02:18— local businesses and bringing jobs and tourism to the heart of our capital.
02:23The draft is a celebration of one of our country's most cherished cultural institutions
02:28and the annual highlights for football fans everywhere.
02:32Everyone in the world is going to be watching.
02:34We look forward to welcoming people from across the nation, from all over the world.
02:39Last month, the Washington Commanders and the D.C. government also announced a major
02:44deal to build a brand-new 65,000-seat football arena at the site of the RFK Stadium in Eastern
02:51Capitol Hill.
02:52I don't think there is a better site anywhere in the world than that site.
02:56The President's incredibly exciting.
02:57You know, he's a friend of mine.
02:58He's a very successful guy.
03:00There's a reason for it.
03:01It's amazing.
03:02It sat there for years, and people were talking about stadiums and 25 different sites.
03:07I said, they're not talking about the best site.
03:10That's the best site there is.
03:11Bringing professional football back into the district from Maryland.
03:16And not only are these announcements great for the NFL, but they also advanced a mission
03:20of making Washington, D.C. safe and clean and beautiful.
03:24And we're working very closely with the mayor, as you know.
03:28And we've made a lot of improvements in the last few months.
03:32And it's getting to look really strong.
03:34Crime is way down.
03:36And a lot of — there's a good relationship we have going with Muriel.
03:40So I want to thank you very much.
