This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Jedediah sounds good.
We are looking forward to it.
Another big topic we are
covering with respect to
President Trump is that in
Georgia he unveiled a new
economic initiative aiming
empowerment for black community
throughout the country.
Im here today to announce a
brand new plan to deliver more
opportunity, more security, more
fairness and more prosperity to
black communities.
We call it the platinum plan,
its going to be something that
people take about for a long
time to come.
Will former NFL running back
and Heisman trophy winner?
Herschel Walker introduced the
president at the event yesterday
and he joins us with more
Herschel. Thank you for being
here.
It strikes me that, during a time
we are talking about defunding,
the police and destroying so
many things in America. Shear
plan Herschel the platinum
plan that I know tends to build
things up for the black
community.
Several I mean business,
financial investment,
so many things that seem real
opportunities.
You can see it on your s, screen
there to really help the black
community.
What is your reaction? Herschel?
Well, you know I was excited
about it. You know you are
talking about five hundred dollars billion over
four years.
You are talking about jobs,
you are talking about
black owned businesses,
and this is something that the
President wanted to do
its got nothing to do with
voting or anything else, except.
This was the right thing to do,
something that should have been
done a long time ago with
everything going on around this
country. This president is still
trying to work, because you hear
people cry
sort of like the voice for the
voiceless
and I think thats what is so
important and they unveiled that
yesterday was absolutely
incredible.
Pete Herschel, thanks for being
here,
we have seen a lot of athletes
sounding off on politics,
but theres a fresh, not a
fresh voice,
hes been around for a long
time.
Is he willing to speak truth and
speak freely?
Charles Barclay made comments
about the black community and
police
watch.
I hear these fools on tv
talking about defund, the police
and things like that.
We need police reform and prison
reform, and things like that
because you know who aint going
to defund the cops
white, neighborhoods and rich
neighborhoods.
So that notion they keep saying
that im like wait, a minute who
will black people supposed to
call
ghostbusters
when we have crime in our
neighborhoods
we need police reform
but, like I say, white people,
especially rich white people,
they are always going to have
cops.
We need to stop that defund or
abolish the cops crap
PETE Herschel. We have seen
that same thing reflected in
when you actually poll members
of the black community. They say
I dont want the police to
leave
your take.
Well, you know Charles is
one hundred percent correct.
I dont want to call them fools,
but I think is he one hundred percent
correct, because no one wants to
defund the police.
There are two sides to every
story. It
is sad that there was a death
that was caused here,
but people dont want to look at
the other side
lets. Think of one thing:
has anyone ever talked about
blaming Kenneth Walker?
He shot at the police?
Did anyone ever say? Was he legal
to carry a gun
that wasnt even his apartment,
that he was in?
Those are a lot of facts that
people dont even want to talk
about.
You know you talk about the
lawyer. That is instead of being
proactive. He is being reactive
right now.
He should have been proactive by
saying that you know instead
of these young men and women,
well, these young men thats
being called killed by the
police before you go into that
lets, see you cooperate with the
police and then what im going
to do is get you out of jail. If
you are innocent,
not wait until someone has been
killed and now you show up and
now you want to say that the
police are wrong, because you
cant put your hand on the
scales of justice
he mentioned that yesterday
and that do what he want to do.
You know the a dot g there in
Kentucky. You know he made a
decision by the law
he made decision by the law
because thats what he is.
He got that job for a reason,
and I think the lawyer got to
remember that as well.
This a dot g is not out trying to
do anything to hurt anyone. U
built on law and order,
we need law and order.
Charles Barclay was right
because you dont want to defund
the police
lets. Also dont blame the
police. The police were doing
their job, they were doing what
they were called to do and they
were doing their job
Jedediah Herschel. A lot of
aspects of that case unfolding
calls for the grand jury to
release more information,
the public sentiment being very
high on that right now.
I actually want to ask you a
question about votes, though,
because the Republican Party
does have a problem with the
african american vote.
He got, I think, eight percent for the
african american vote.
Why is it so hard if, on policy
yesterday, like defunding, the
police, you have
African Americans saying we
dont wants to do that? Why is it
so hard for Republicans to then
get african Americans to come
out and vote for them?
Well, I think things are
going to change this year.
I think everyone is going to see
a lot of african american vote
is going to go toward
Republican,
because I think some people are
waking up.
Some people are being told the
truth.
You know one thing that is so
scary to me. Some people dont
wants to hear the true facts.
The true facts are that this
president here is a president
that you know you keep saying
the same thing over and over.
He was the one that gave money
to the historical black
colleges.
He was the one that gave the
opportunity to jobs for the
african american community.
This is what is so scary.
Think about this
in three and a half years. This
president here helped to put
one point: four million jobs for
African Americans
lets think about eight years with
the Biden and Obama was only
one hundred and forty five thousand.
No, these are true fights.
This is not something that im
making up
and you know whats so strange
is im not paid to say this
im paid to tell you the truth
and thats Lord Jesus Christ
thats. What im trying to tell
people
truth guys look at and it
weigh
this. We need law and order.
This country was built on law
and order.
We knonow, we have a constitution
that some people in Washington
dont want to go by right now
will unfortunately, heble
constitution holds this
country together
will unfortunately Herschel we
are out of time.
I appreciate it. Your calls for
truth
im happy to be corrected if
wrong. Kenneth Walker was a legal
gun owner
doesnt mean the shot. Didnt
contribute to the outcome of the
tragedy
in pursuit of getting all the
facts right. I do believe he was
a legal gun owner
im happy to be checked on that.
