THAT’S A LOOK AT YOUR HEADLINES.
>> LET’S TALK SPORTS, U.S.
SLEETS GWINN BERRY.
NATIONAL ANTHEM BEGAN TO PLAY
WITH THE WINNERS AT THE PODIUM.
TAKE A LOOK.
BERRY TURNED OTHER BLACK ON THE
AMERICAN FLAG COVERING HER FACE
WITH A T-SHIRT THAT READ
ACTIVIST ATHLETE ON THE FRONT.
AND SHE IS CALL IT A SET-UP
TELLING THE "NEW YORK POST"
QUOTE I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A
SET-UP THEY DID IT ON PURPOSE.
THEY HAD ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES TO
PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM BEFORE
WE GOT UP THERE.
IT WAS REAL DISRESPECTFUL.
TRY TO GET YOUR HEAD AROUND THAT
STATEMENT.
JACK BREWER IS TRYING TO DO THAT
WE ASKED HIS COMMENT ON IT
FORMER NFL PLAYER CE OH OF THE
BUREAU GROUP.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE DISRESPECTFUL
TO PLAY THE NATIONAL ANTHEM THEY
TOLD HER THEY WERE GOING TO PLAY
IT BEFORE THEY GOT OUT THERE?
>> YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT’S ALWAYS PLAY THE NATIONAL
ANTHEM.
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHEN YOU ARE
PUTTING ON THAT UNIFORM.
HER UNIFORM SAYS AMERICA.
SHE IS REPRESENTING AMERICA.
AND THE U.S. OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS
GARBAGE.
WHAT WE’RE REALLY SADDENS ME IS
THAT WE HAVE A CULTURE FOUR U.
NOW IN OUR COUNTRY AND IT’S
GROWING A CULTURE OF PEOPLE WHO
DISRESPECT OUR NATION.
DISRESPECT OUR FLAG AND
DISRESPECT OUR ANTHEM.
AT SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED.
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AND THINK
ABOUT GREATS LIKE JESSE OWENS
WHO OVERCAME REAL RACISM AND
OVERCAME, YOU KNOW, ALL THE
ISSUES THAT CAME ALONG WITH THAT
WHO WAS A GRANDSON OF A SLAVE,
WHO WAS THE SON OF A SHARE
CROPPER.
HE STOOD ON THE PODIUM AND
PROUDLY REPRESENTED THIS NATION.
AND SHE CLAIMS TO BE STANDING UP
AGAINST RACISM.
WELL, I HAVE NEWS FOR HER THAT
THERE ARE A LOT THAT CAME BEFORE
HER THAT WENT THROUGH REAL
RACISM.
AND THE ONLY REASON THEY GOT
THROUGH IT IT IS BECAUSE THEY LI
IN AMERICA WOULD VERY A
CONSTITUTION THAT ALLOW WAS TO
US GO AFTER OUR FREEDOMS AND TO
BECOME WHOEVER WE WANT TO
BECOME.
AND WE NEED TO START EDUCATE
THESE ATHLETES, WE NEED TO START
TO EDUCATE THESE YOUTH THAT ARE
BEING INDOCTRINATED NOW IN OUR
SCHOOLS, BEING INDOCTRINATED BY
THIS LIBERAL MEDIA AND THAT ARE
STARTING TO HATE THIS COUNTRY.
WE HAVE A MASSIVE DIVIDE AND
IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP.
IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF CONSERVATIVES.
IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF THE OPERATES
IN AMERICA.
ALLOWING THEM THE FREEDOM TO GO
OUT AND PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS
LIKE THIS AS A BLACK WOMAN.
SO MANY BLACK WOMAN HAVE GONE
THROUGH SO MUCH TO BE EVEN ABLE
TO GET IN THIS SITUATION.
SHE IS BEING COMPLETELY
DISRESPECTFUL FOR ALL OF THOSE
THAT HAVE DIED FOR US.
AND I’M JUST SICK AND TIRED OF
SEEING IT.
BRIAN: SHE JUST TWEETED THIS OUT
THIS MORNING.
I WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU.
GWEN BERRY DID.
I NEVER SAID I HATED THIS
COUNTRY.
PEOPLE TRY TO PUT WORDS IN MY
MOUTH BUT THEY CAN’T.
THAT’S WHY I SPEAK OUT.
I LOVE MY PEOPLE.
ALL RIGHT?
THAT’S WHERE SHE STANDS.
THE U.S.A. TRACK AND FIELD
STATEMENT MADE THIS STATEMENT
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM WAS
SCHEDULED TO PLAY AT 5:20 WE
DIDN’T WAIT FOR THE IT ATHLETES
ON THE PODIUM FOR HAMMER AWARD.
IT’S PLAYED EVERY DAY ACCORDING
TO A PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED
SCHEDULE.
THE FACT IS I’M NOT WORRIED
ABOUT THE SEMANTICS OF THIS OR
THE SCHEDULE.
THE FACT THAT SHE FEELS THIS
WAY.
AND IT NOBODY CAN PROTEST THEIR
FLAG ON THE PODIUMS.
THEY JUST MADE THAT A UNIVERSAL
RULE.
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE
PLACES AND SHE DOES IT AGAIN ON
THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE?
>> SOMETHING SHOULD HAPPEN.
THEY SHOULD BAR HER FROM
COMPETITION AT THIS POINT.
WHEN YOU BECOME A MEMBER OF A
TEAM, YOU CANNOT GO OUT AND
PROTEST AGAINST A TEAM THAT YOU
HAVE BECOME A MEMBER OF.
IT JUST MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL.
NO MATTER WHAT SPORTS YOU ARE
IN.
WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE NATIONAL
FOOTBALL LEAGUE OR BASEBALL.
ANY SPORT.
JUST THE FACT THAT WE ARE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION IS RIDICULOUS.
I’M GLAD THE INTERNATIONAL
OLYMPIC COMMITTEE DID STEP UP
AND MAKE THAT RULE.
THEY CAN’T FORCE THESE ATHLETES
TO DO IT ONCE THEY GET ON THE
STAGE.
THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING THAT
HAS REAL REPURCHASE SESSIONS.
WE ARE GOING INTO A TIME WHERE
OUR OLYMPICS TEAM IS PROBABLY
ONE OF THE STRONGEST WE HAVE
EVER HAD.
WE HAVE MORE WORLD RECORDS AND
MORE PERSONAL RECORDS THAT HAVE
BEEN BROKEN OVER THIS PAST
OLYMPIC TRIALS THAN I HAVE EVER
SEEN BEFORE.
SO WE HAVE A LOT TO.
SOME GREAT MINORITIES
PARTICIPATING FOR OUR NATION
BREAKING RECORDS.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT MORE
IMPORTANTLY, WE NEED TO START
BEING A BETTER EXAMPLE TO THESE
CHILDREN.
ALL OF THOSE KIDS THAT ARE GOING
TO BE TUNING IN TO THE OLYMPICS
RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE A SPIRITUAL BATTLE GOING
ON RIGHT NOW IN THIS NATION.
WHERE WE HAVE FORCES OF EVIL
DIVIDING CRITICAL RACE THEORY,
AND ALL OF THESE HATE MESSAGES
GOING OUT.
WE NEED TO STOP IT AND THE
OLYMPICS IS THE TIME FOR UNITY,
AND THAT’S THE ONLY THING THAT
IT NEEDS TO REPRESENT IN THE
NAME OF JESUS.
BRIAN: I WANT TO STOP THE
HYPHEN, PERIOD.
I LOOK AT MY TRACK TEAM AS
AMERICAN.
I LOOK AT MY FIELD HOCKEY TEAM
AS A BURNING OF AMERICANS.
THAT’S IT.
WE ARE SO INTO THE HYPHEN WHAT
YOUR BACKGROUND IS.
SKIN COLOR IS.
I NEVER REMEMBER ANYTHING LIKE
THIS IN MY LIFETIME.
EVERYTHING IS ABOUT SKIN AND
FASHIONALITY AND GENDER AND
IDENTITY.
LET’S GET BACK TO BEING
AMERICAN.
THAT’S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT?
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
BRIAN: THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
WHETHER THAT STARTING GUN GOES
