>> Herschel Walker was 16 years old, white men been telling him what to do,
telling him what school to go to, where to live, where to eat,
where to buy a house, where to learn, where to sit down.
Where to sleep, where to pay for abortions, where to buy a gun and
that you think they're not gonna tell him how to vote in
2022 we don't need a walker, need a runner.
>> Damn, you just heard from mega pastor Jamal H Bryant absolutely
shredding Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker for
essentially being a prop for white men and the Republican Party.
And to make his point, Pastor Bryant explains exactly how the GOP is
doing this, so let's take a look at that portion of his sermon.
>> When the Republican Party of Georgia moved Herschel Walker
from Texas to Georgia, so that he could run for Senate,
it's because change was taking too fast in the post Antebellum South.
The State had been flipped blue and there are some principalities that were not
prepared for a black man and a Jewish man to go to Senate at the exact same time.
So they figured that they would delude us by picking
somebody who they thought would in fact represent us
better with a football than with a degree in philosophy.
[APPLAUSE] They thought we were so slow, that we were so stupid,
that we would elect the lowest caricature of a stereotypical
broken black man as opposed to somebody who is educated and erudite and focused.
>> Man, his whole speech was incredible,
we have another portion of it that we'll get to in just a moment.
But was I wanted to go to you because it is interesting,
I didn't think about Republicans using Herschel Walker to attract
black voters specifically in Georgia, it didn't even occur to me it should have.
But yeah, I mean, it's definitely a strategy I can see them using to
kind of in their minds attract voters who they think simply vote based on race, but
that's a stereotype about voters [LAUGH] stereotype about black voters.
>> Yeah, it's it's crazy because one, I gotta give it up to that brother,
because as somebody who's not nondenominational, not christian,
none of that stuff, I was reminded how powerful and
moving the word could be, that was really powerful.
I got emotional watching that for
the first time to be honest when I watched that earlier today.
But it's funny man, because I'm somebody who accuses the Democrats
of this racial ventriloquist type of politics, right?
Where it's like, yo we'll get some black person and we'll let the black
people shoehorn some of the most least progressive stuff out there, and
we'll use them as human meat shields.
Because it's like they're black it's fine,
I think kinda the worst representative of that to be honest, was Obama.
But a lot of these people are credible though, they come from black institutions,
HBCU's, black fraternities and sororities, they come from the black churches.
They come they're credible, they're the people,
they're those communities, they're these people and their norms and
stuff like that, Herschel Walker ain't none of that [LAUGH] he is none of that.
He played, he killed at the University of Georgia, he's legitimately
one of the greatest most decorated players in the history of that program.
So yes, in the 80s he delivered some amazing memories for
the citizens of Georgia 100%, so I can under and
while there's a positive connotation to him and
his name, but this is it's so messed up.
Like I said, at least if they go out and
get somebody who's of the black church or of HBCU's and all of that.
There's some credibility there, there's no credibility it's so
insulting to the black people of Georgia where it's just like bro
really we're gonna fall for this banana in the tailpipe this okey doke come on.
>> Well later in his speech, the pastor also weighed in on what's
expected of a Georgia Senate candidate, so let's watch that.
>> We need somebody who go run and tell the truth about January six,
we need somebody who go run and push for the cancellation of student loan debts.
We need somebody go run and make the former President respond to a subpoena.
We don't need a walker we need somebody who will be steadfast,
unmovable always about knowing that your labor is not in vain.
Georgia I need you to know the slave Negroes are used
to don't live here no more, we can by ourselves,
function by ourselves, and talk by ourselves,
why, cuz we don't need a walker.
>> Damn, that was my favorite part,
that was my favorite part of what he had to say.
Especially the line your labor is not in vain and not to get too negative.
But look, this is in Georgia and I can't help but
think of all the people who engaged in that grassroots effort
during the Senate runoff elections to get two Democratic Senators
elected in that state, one of whom was Raphael Warnock.
And the idea was that in return, the Democratic Party was gonna protect their
voting rights with a voting rights bill, which they did not deliver on, okay?
So yes, that's a little bit of negative commentary, but I can't help it,
especially when he says your labor is not in vain.
I really wish that the Democrats delivered for
those voters in Georgia who worked really, really hard in those runoff elections.
But with that said, I thought that was again the most powerful part.
Because he's essentially saying, this is what we demand,
this is what we expect of our senators and we're not gonna just settle for anyone,
and we're not gonna be played for fools by the Republican Party who is presenting
us with this candidate who's not qualified for the role at all not even a little bit.
>> And you know why this is important to an and we talked about this on the last
episode, we did a walk pros with our buddy Daniel Bester and of course Nando,
those progressives getting punked by the Democratic establishment for
even suggesting that they should try diplomacy over there in Russia
with the Ukrainians, right?
I'm just a mere suggestion in a letter that we would try diplomacy and
not just unlimited flood region, with weapons and death and destruction.
Just the notion that we would be like,
can we try to diplomatically solve this and bring a peace and
stop the fighting and stop the bloodshed, they got killed for it.
And Nando brought up a beautiful point, he's just like, these guys are just,
they're just candidates, they're just politicians,
they're not backed by anything.
And what's important about the message of this pastor,
the black Church is actually an institution.
It's actually a group of people who are in community and
can wield their numbers when they need to and have to,
that's why it's important what that home is saying,
because he's a part of an institution that goes back literally hundreds of years.
And it's one of the few institutions that we have in the party, because we're so
watered down the power of labor, and other traditional institutions that used
to undergird the power of the party, right?
And so that's why I think it's important what this home is saying,
because like it or not, the Black Church is an institution and it's powerful and
it's influential in politics in Georgia.
>> Absolutely, I mean, you could see it in that crowd and I love to see that
impassioned argument for candidates who actually serve the people,
who get them elected and Herschel Walker would do the opposite of that.
