00:00Just a few months ago, the people in this room and millions of other black Americans
00:14played their own part in the American story when you went to the voting booths and restored
00:20a nice, good, solid government.
00:23And there's a guy that really helped.
00:25There's a man that really helped.
00:27You really are great.
00:29Thank you very much.
00:30I appreciate it.
00:31I don't forget.
00:32I'm proud to say that we received—listen to this—more votes from black Americans
00:38than any Republican president ever, not even close.
00:46Almost 40 percent of the vote.
00:47Now I'm not—I won't be happy the next time—should I run again?
00:51You tell me.
00:56There's your controversy right there.
00:58There's your controversy.
01:01You'll be seeing that on—you're going to see that tonight, Tim, on television.
01:15I want to thank just a few of the people who are with us today, and these are great friends
01:20of ours.
01:21Alveda King.
01:22Alveda—where are you, Alveda?
01:23Hi, Alveda.
01:26You've been with me from day one, and I appreciate it.
01:29I won't forget it.
01:30She's a fantastic woman.
01:32Alice Johnson.
01:33Where's Alice?
01:34Boy, are you incredible.
01:36I watched you last night on television.
01:38You were so good.
01:39You know, Alice was in prison for doing something that today probably wouldn't even be prosecuted.
01:46She spent 22 years in prison.
01:48Twenty-two years.
01:49She had another 22 years left.
01:51Can you believe it?
01:53And I pardoned her, and it was one of the best pardons.
01:57One of the best pardons.
02:00You know what she was on?
02:01She happened to be on the wrong telephone line.
02:04Is that true?
02:05She was on a telephone call.
02:06And I'm not saying it was perfect, but it wasn't worth 40 or 50 years, Alice.
02:12And you've been an inspiration to people.
02:16And we're going to be listening to your recommendation on pardons.
02:19You're going to go over, and you're going to be — she's going to be my pardon czar.
02:23Okay?
02:24And you're going to find people just like you that should not — this should not have
02:30happened.
02:31It should not have happened.
02:32So you're going to look, and you're going to make recommendations, and I'll follow those
02:35recommendations, okay, for pardons, all right?
02:39Thank you very much.
02:40A man who is just incredible.
02:42This guy, I watched him on — I watched him when he was a Democrat, and then one day he
02:46had to change because he couldn't take it any longer.
02:49And does anyone ever hear of — did anyone ever hear of a man named Leo 2.0 Terrell?
02:55Where are you?
02:57Get up here.
02:58Get up here.
02:59I love this guy.
03:00You know what he's doing now?
03:01He's with the Department of Justice.
03:03He's in charge of civil rights and lots of other great things.
03:07He's going to be working with — it's okay, could he come up, please?
03:12Come on, Leo.
03:15Get up here.
03:19Leo 2.0.
03:20This guy is great.
03:21I love this guy.
03:22You are the greatest.
03:26I just want to say, we are in the presence of the greatest president of all time.
03:32He is the greatest president in our lifetime, and I'll tell you right now —
