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.
