TRANSCRIPT:
JOHNSON: “The president has done so much for the American people and we want to honor him in some small way, some token of our appreciation for his leadership. And so, tonight, we have created a new award. We have — we’re going to do something we’ve never done before. We’re going to honor him with a new award that we’ll present annually from this point forward. But he is the suitable and fitting recipient of the first-ever America First Award. We could think of no better title for what that is. (applause) That’s this beautiful golden statue here. Appropriate for the new golden era in America.”
