00:00Mr. President, what was your reason for pardoning Trevor Milton?
00:06Highly recommended by many people that was taken advantage of.
00:12He did a business deal, like in Utah, as I have it, and I think he was exonerated.
00:19And then they brought him into New York, where he had a rough, rough road and road.
00:26He was exonerated.
00:27It was a big celebration.
00:29Again, I don't know him, but I was they say it was very unfair.
00:33And they say the thing that he did wrong was he was one of the first people that supported
00:38a gentleman named Donald Trump for president.
00:42He supported Trump.
00:43He liked Trump.
00:44I didn't know him, but he liked him.
00:46It was in Utah.
00:47And they went after him.
00:48They went after his family.
00:49They went after his businesses.
00:52And he was, I believe, exonerated.
00:55And then they went after him again, and they brought him this time into Manhattan.
00:59And he had nothing to do with Manhattan.
01:02And they got him.
01:04And I said, that's unfair.
01:05There are many people like that.
01:07They support Trump and they went after him.
01:09You don't realize this is a vicious group of people that were in this office before
01:13us.
01:14This is a vicious group.
01:15They're violent.
01:16What they would what they were doing to people.
01:19And you could go story after hundreds and even thousands of stories.
01:26And they went after this man.
01:27And when I heard about it, I said, nope, not going to happen.
01:31They persecuted.
01:32They destroyed five years of his life.
01:34He went for it for five years of his life.
01:37And he did nothing wrong.
01:38And he's a good person.
01:40And basically, I had these fantastic recommendations about him from people that, you know, very
01:46well all top of the line people.
01:48They thought it was a horrible thing.
01:50There were there are many such cases, by the way.
01:52Many such cases.
