00:00I actually have to, I got to credit the whole team.

00:05It was a team effort, but Ms. Alice is the one that's in the White House.

00:13You know, we got Josh, we got Gleason, we got Jennifer Bonjean.

00:19We have a whole team, but Ms. Alice is the pardons are.

00:22She's in the White House.

00:23She felt that he was deserving of it, and she fought the fall.

00:28She is the Ms. Harriet out here.

00:33She's the one that's working for everybody.

00:35It started a long time ago with Kanye.

00:38Kanye put us on the platform, and Kanye and Kim were in touch with Alice.

00:43We seen Ms. Alice, and we knew that that was the way to go if we ever had a chance.

00:48You would say Kanye did have a big part in making this happen?

00:52He had a very big part because he started it all off.

00:55He put us on the platform.

00:56He took us to the White House on his platform when he didn't have to do that.

01:00He stuck his neck out there.

01:02We know he don't have a problem with sticking his neck out there about what he believes in,

01:06and I'm glad he believes in this, and I've got to do nothing but salute him for this.

01:09Have you, I guess, could say anything directly to President Trump now?

01:13What would that be?

01:15Man, I would tell him thank you.

01:17I appreciate you.

01:19This is a dream come true.

01:20This is something I've been waiting for all my life.

01:22And when I say all my life, I'm 52.

01:25It's been 52 years waiting for this to happen.

01:28I've been waiting for my father to get out that cage and stop being a cage animal.

01:32He's been living like a cage animal up until now.

01:36The first thing he wants to do when he gets out is he wants to eat some real food.

01:41He want to eat a home-cooked meal.

01:43He want to eat what he used to eat when he was a kid.

01:45And it's crazy, but he hasn't had a good meal in a long time.

01:50But first and foremost, before we talk about him getting out, we've got to get him out of state custody.

01:56So we're still fighting that fight to deal with state custody.

01:59We need Christopher to understand that my father is an elderly man that would be an asset to the community if he wanted him to be an asset.

02:08But if he wanted him to lead a community, he could lead a community.

02:10But he deserves a chance.

02:12This is he did 52 years.

02:15So it's time for him to get a chance to restart life.

02:19He says he believes in redemption.

02:22And he's a different person.

02:25He's not the same person that he was when he went away 50 years ago.

02:29He's going to be released from federal custody.

02:32But then we want the governor, Priscil, to sign that pin stroke and let him free.

02:40Don't take him into state custody.

02:41You don't want no 70-year-old man.

02:43It's just a waste of time, a waste of money.

02:46And he's not a danger to your system.

02:49I mean, you just don't need him.

02:50It's time to let him, if you believe in redemption, he's dead his time.
