This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Barack Obama tonight
being forced to defend himself
against allegations that his
Southside Chicago presidential
Center will gentrified the
neighborhood. Raise prices,
drive poor families from the
area
I dont know, maybe its like
Obama, Disney
Heres. His response.
The truth is any time you do.
A big project is always going to
be some people who say well.
Look we dont want change,
were worried about it. We dont
know how its going to turn out,
which is why weve gone through
such an exhaustive process to
encourage and elicit comments
and concerns and criticism and
suggestions from the community
here for reaction,
Georgia, Senate candidate
Herschel Walker, along with
Fox NEWS contributor,
LEO Terrell,
if I dont really understand it
im all for I couldnt
understand: Ocasio Cortez, the
real speaker of the House,
Herschel Walker, when Amazon
wanted to greet these jobs in
her district. I would be like
all over that.
Why didnt she allow that.
I want to see you know areas
in Chicago get investment money.
This will be like Disney Obama
Disney.
You get to see everything Obama!
Well, you know sometimes
Sean youre never going to make
some unhappy.
This is the opportunity that the
Obamas have to empower the
community, so people should be
applauding it rather than making
fun of it, or they should be
talking about something thats
very great there that
Mayor Lightfoot went from
defunding the police to funding
the police, because, right now
what Obama is talking about is
giving people jobs, but I think
youve got to hold people
accountable and what I mean by
that is got to hire people from
the neighborhood to work at that
library. They got to hire people
in the neighborhood to build
that library.
This is the thing
LEO
we want money invested money
creates, you know, construction
jobs, it creates full time jobs,
the Obama, library, people that
work and give tours and
concession stand people I
dont know what you have at a
library ive been to the Reagan,
library, the Nixon Library I
like them.
Why wouldnt? They want that and
think thats a good thing.
Let me be as clear as I can
and explain to the viewers.
This is an ultimate act of
selfishness on the part of the
Obamas.
Libraries are called
five hundred and fifty dollars million.
You really went all the people
of color people who look like
him, build that library and the
poorest area of Chicago the
black area for economic
developing.
Does he do that?
No, no! No!
He goes to the lakefront.
He takes the nicest part of the
black area and he wants to
destroy that
the lakefront. Why wont he
build it in the inner city?
This is the man who is his color
to basically downplay the
criticism.
Environmentalists and activists
are saying, dont build it here,
build it in Chicago in a
southside where people of color
are hurting
hes, not listening to them.
He is more than a land, barren
and hes, using
im going to tell you
one of my biggest criticisms,
all through the Obama years,
Herschel Walker. This is the
only show we would scroll the
names of all the people that
nobody hears their names, the
people shot the people shot and
killed
nobody paid attention.
Nobody cares
his George Floyd importance,
yes, but every single person
shot and killed in Chicago every
weekend. They are important too,
and ive been doing this since
two thousand and nine on this program and nobody
ever lifts a finger and every
weekend another fifty people shot
another twelve people dropped
killed in a shooting.
You know one of the things
Sean and im going to disagree
with LEO just a little bit,
because I love LEO hes, my
brother, but I say
one of my chopped
liver,
wait a minute,
no, no,
no, no Sean.
But what im going to say here,
real quick is, I think you can
empower this community how
little bit
at the same time, I think people
have to worry about law and
order.
I think, have to empower the
community but youre also going
to have policing thats got to
come into that as well. So now
youve got to have policing
thats going to be paying more
money and thats. What I was
talking about earlier
has anyone ever talked about
what Mayor Lightfoot decided
that you know defunding the
police didnt work that now I
got to defund the police thats.
What we need to be talking
about not worried about
something like this, the library
that can also help people
at the end of the
day, if you dont have law and
order, and safety and security
you cant pursue happiness
by the way LEO supporting her.
