At a Thanksgiving turkey-pardoning ceremony, Donald Trump joked that he almost named the birds Chuck and Nancy, referencing Democratic leaders. He quipped that he changed his mind because he “wouldn’t be pardoning those two people,” turning the light-hearted event into a sharp roast of his political rivals.

00:00I was going to call them Chuck and Nancy.
00:01But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them.
00:05I would never pardon those two people.
00:08But we did in the Great Big Beautiful Bill.
00:11It was just passed.
00:13Your imprints all over that.
00:14And it's amazing.
00:15The biggest tax cuts in the history of our country
00:18for middle-income people.
00:20The biggest tax cuts in the history of our country
00:23for middle-income people.
00:25And the biggest jobs bill ever passed.
00:29And nobody thought we could get that one done.
00:31I'm glad.
00:32We actually put four years, actually probably eight or
00:35ten years, but we put four years' worth of material
00:38into one great, big, beautiful bill.
00:41So that worked out very well.
00:42And I want to thank everybody for working on it.
00:44J.D., that was a great, that was a great.
00:46Well, you know, we were going to do it in small bills.
00:48We're going to have 18 bills.
00:50And do it along the process.
00:52I'm glad, Scott, that we got it done.
00:54Because dealing with these Democrats, I don't think,
00:57I think that was all one shot.
00:58But we have it all in one great, big, beautiful bill.
01:01Thanks, as well, to the chairman of the National
01:04Turkey Federation and the CEO of Butterball.
01:07That's a big deal.
01:08Jay Jandren.
01:10Where's Jay?
01:12Stand up, Jay.
01:13Thank you very much.
01:17Along with his wife, Leslie, and their three
01:19children, as well as the farmer who raised these
01:22two magnificent birds, Travis Pittman and Wayne County,
01:27North Carolina, I won Wayne County by a lot.
01:29That means you had to vote for Trump, I think.
01:31I won by 92 percent.
01:33I like Wayne County.
01:35They're doing all right, right?
01:36And this is like a record-setting turkey
01:38that's going to be saved.
01:40The turkeys being pardoned today go by the names of
01:43Gobble and Waddle.
01:45When I first saw their pictures, I thought we
01:47should send them, well, I was going to, I
01:50shouldn't say this.
01:52I was going to call them Chuck and Nancy, but then
01:55I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them.
01:57I would never pardon those two people.
02:00I wouldn't pardon them.
02:01I wouldn't care what Melania told me.
02:04Darling, I think it would be a nice thing to do.
02:06I won't do it, darling.
02:08These are two of the largest turkeys ever
02:10presented to an American President.
02:12Over 50 pounds each.
02:13It's the largest we've ever had.
02:16Those are big turkeys.
02:17Are they as good as the normal-sized turkey?
02:19Better or as good?
02:21Do they tend to be a little fatty, maybe?
02:24No, he said no.
02:25He knows the turkey business.
02:27Anyway, despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has
02:31formally certified that these are the first ever
02:34Maha turkeys.
02:35I don't know if I agree with that.
02:36These are Maha.
02:38In other words, they could be fat, but they're still
02:40Maha.
02:42They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass,
02:44beef, to allow the smoothies and all of the
02:48other things that they've been eating for this
02:50occasion.
02:51This was a really big occasion.
02:53But they've eaten every fattening food that you
02:57can eat.
02:57We work like — we wanted to really make them
03:00special, and they really are.
03:01They're, like, record-setting.
03:02I've never seen a turkey that big before.
03:04Are they violent at all?
03:05Will they attack as I walk over?
03:08Because if they were, I'll stay right up here.
03:10Got you.
03:25We'll see you next time.
03:26We'll see you next time.
