00:00I am absolutely freaking out. I was walking into Sam's Club today and I get a text that says,
00:09do you have a minute? And I'm like, yes. And like, I just felt in my soul that something
00:14was going on. Something was different. Something was wrong. And I answer the phone or I get a text
00:20that says, all right, we're calling from the office line. I'm like, okay. And I answer the
00:26phone and they said, hi, the president would like to speak with you. And I literally, my whole body
00:32went numb. I'm freaking out. Like the president of the United States of America wants to speak with
00:36me. Donald J. Trump freaking out. I start sweating profusely all over, literally. And I answer the
00:43phone and it's the president and I'm freaking out. I just immediately started crying. I'm sitting in
00:50my car, bawling my eyes out. Grayson actually has a video of it. And I didn't know what to say. All
00:57I could say was thank you. All I, and if anyone knows what we were going through, it was the
01:02president. The president was unjustly prosecuted and all the things that he has gone through,
01:10he sees the weaponization of our government agencies. And I feel like he saw what my family
01:16was going through. And because of him, he has brought my family back together. My parents are
01:21coming home. As you can tell, I am all ready, whether they're coming home tonight or they're
01:25coming home tomorrow. I am ready. I'm not going to sleep tonight. Um, all my friends are here at
01:29the house and that's what makes you realize like the people that you've surrounded yourself with,
01:35um, what good people they are because they show up. They show up when you don't ask them to show up
01:40and they show up when they see the good, the bad, the ugly, whatever it may be, they show up. And so all my
01:45friends are here just helping prepare for mom and dad to come home. And I have never been so grateful
01:50for anything in my entire life. As you see, I have my women for Trump jacket on. I've got my hat on
01:56everything just with this administration. I'm so grateful to have a president that is bringing
02:01families back together and who is making wrongs right. And I'm just ecstatic. I'm ecstatic. I am so
02:10grateful for Alice Johnson. Alice Johnson is like your hidden warrior. Alice Johnson will fight like
02:19hell for these men and women that are in the system. And I truly do believe that if it wasn't
02:23for Alice Johnson, I don't know if my parents would be coming home. I also am so grateful for
02:28Laura Trump because I got to go on her show and I think going on her show helped to move the needle
02:35because it got my story back in front of the president. And one thing I do want to make very
02:40clear is that this administration is not an administration of favors. If it was, my parents
02:46would have been home on day one. I campaigned for the president. I spoke at the RNC. I lost a lot of
02:52money for standing up for what I believed in. And I was willing to do it because I knew that was the
02:58right thing to do. But the president doesn't look at that when he's making a decision. He looks at the
03:03he looks at the case and he looks at the facts of the matter and sees injustices or doesn't and then
03:10makes his decision. And I am forever grateful for the decisions that he has made. And I just,
03:17I can't, I'm still on cloud nine, trying to get all my thoughts together, trying to figure out
03:23when I need to go pick up my parents. I just want to say that the fight doesn't stop now.
03:28The fight is going to continue on and I'm going to continue my initiatives and fight for the men
03:36and women that are in our system and help to change a system that is broken. And I truly do believe
03:42with new leadership at the Bureau of Prisons that that is possible. We have someone like William
03:49Marshall that is now the director of the Bureau of Prisons. And he is someone who I truly do believe
03:56wants change. He wants to see how corrupt the system is. And he wants to hold those individuals
04:03accountable, whether it be a correctional officer or a warden, whoever it may be. He wants to hold
04:08them accountable and he wants to create a system that is full of rehabilitation, that helps men and
04:15women enter back into society in a safer, faster manner. So I'm going to continue with my initiatives.
04:22I will work with the Trump administration in any capacity that they will allow me to work with them.
04:26Because I believe that God puts us on this. God puts us all in positions for a reason.
04:33And the positive that came out of my family's heartbreak was that I got exposed to a system
04:40I knew nothing about. I grew up very privileged. And now that I have seen how broken our system is
04:47and seen how much rehabilitation needs to happen, I can do something about it. And so I give you my word
04:54that I will continue to fight for the men and women that are in this system. And hopefully I can work
04:59hand in hand with the Bureau of Prisons to change the atmosphere and to create an atmosphere where we
05:06are helping individuals grow and be better and go back to their families. Because at the end of the day,
05:12life is all about family. And that's what this administration does so well, is they love people,
05:17they love people well, and they love families. So that's where we're at. Now I'm going to figure
05:23out when I go get my parents.
