Jesus Christ have a mental illness because he said he's the father, the son, and
the holy spirit.
To me those are three different personalities.
So, we're not so much different than him, but
what we got to do is quit putting others down and try to build them up.
>> So, that is Herschel Walker, a Republican nominee for senate in Georgia
who according to the polls is very good chance of being the next senator.
And there he is talking about his disassociates identity disorder or DID,
which has previously talked about.
In fact he wrote about it in his 2008 Memoir Breaking Free.
He says that he has 12 alternate personalities or
alters including the warrior who plays football, the century who avoids emotional
attachments and the thrill seeker who plays Russian roulette with a loaded gun.
And there he is responding to critiques of his mental capacity to be a senator.
Now, I'm not sure that the illusion to Jesus makes a ton of sense.
I'm an atheist to be clear, but like my gut says that if I
was a Christian, I wouldn't like that so much.
Let's be clear, has been through the ringer of the NFL has experienced
some of the natural physical consequences of that, that many players have.
That was covered up for far too long and isn't generally respected,
culturally we don't deal with these sorts of problems.
We do need to have a conversation about this but I don't know,
trying to explain away the fact that you like to play Russian roulette.
And you look as we're gonna get into threaten other people with guns on
a semi-regular basis as being you being like Jesus.
I don't think that that's a great explanation.
And to be clear I alluded to the threatening.
So, let's get to that.
Four years after his diagnosis of DID, Walker's ex wife who now now uses the name
Grossman sought a protective order against the prospective senator in 2000.
And interview with ABC news, she said that while she and Walker were married,
he repeatedly held a gun to her head and threatened to blow her brains out.
Walker has not denied the allegations but has said he doesn't remember the instances
which I think is worse not better, if you're doing stuff like this and
then blacking out and having no idea that you did it.
That is not reassuring to me, not when it's a private citizen and
certainly not when it's someone who might be voting on going to war and
the treaties and choosing Supreme Court nominees and things like that.
But I know what do you think about this.
I have two things to say about this.
>> First of all, Herschel Walker is a great example of how poor
our education system is in this country.
And the push against education and information under the guise it is elitism,
and that has been something that they've been running with for
the last few years trying to shame people for
being intelligent or having information.
You saw it through Covid, you see it constantly from the last administration.
It's been happening a lot, questioning the audacity of president Obama for
being intelligent, people mocking him for it.
All of a sudden a black man became the president of the United States and
being smart became something that was, now you think you're better than us.
All of that is rooted in racism.
But the other thing I want to say is unfortunately for
people like Herschel Walker, silk and diamond whatever their names are.
I don't want to insult them because I don't get
anything out of doing the things that they do.
But those people who you can see have a deficiency and basic information and
knowledge probably didn't have the best education,
are always being patted on the head by these racist bigoted white people.
Who love them because they are repeating the talking
points that if are oppressive to them themselves.
Because the people who I said earlier, the people who are always pushing
against education and calling out things about the intellectual elites,
look at their resume and find out where they went to college and
see how they have a degree of post secondary education.
But they want you to be ignorant because all they want you for
is to step and fetch, and that is what's so sad about this man.
This is that grab them by the thing phenomenon that we
are watching unfold before our very own eyes.
They are gonna enable this man to get into office because he is going to do
the dirty work of keeping his own people down.
And it is so insulting, insulting to see them
celebrate him knowing that he is he an abuser.
He has a mental illness.
I mean it's unbelievable how low the Republican party has gone,
not that the Democratic party is that much higher above them.
But how low they've gone to enable to just further their agenda
that they will compromise the integrity of of Congress just for the sake of winning.
That's how bad politicians are and how sad the American people are who are so
busy struggling to stay afloat in this moment, that they can't even further
their education or get the information to know that this is bad for them.
And that makes me so sad.
>> Yeah, you're 100 cent right.
I mean, all of this as you say goes deeper than just one candidate in so
many different ways, that said there's also this candidate and
he can't be a senator, that's crazy.
I'm not saying we have to have the expectations for
leaders that I would have, that's never gonna happen.
But we should have some expectation.
And again, this isn't about him having DID or whatever.
>> No. >> This is about what he does and says,
the stuff that we've already told you or I'm gonna jump ahead of graphic eight.
Walker said in the ABC interview that we alluded to,
that he has his altars under control.
But four years later in 2012,
a Texas woman filed a police report accusing him of
threatening to blow her head off and then kill himself if she broke up with him.
Michael Dean said she was Walker's longtime girlfriend according to
the police report from January 2012 yeah, 2012.
No charges were filed against Walker who has denied the claims.
So, that's good, he doesn't deny the other claims that he threatened to kill a woman
that he was with with a gun.
But he denies these ones, except that he also says that he frequently doesn't
remember whether he threatened people with guns or not.
So, how exactly do you deny this?
You apparently frequently threatened people with guns and
have no idea that you did it according to you.
I don't believe that, I don't think that's true, whatsoever.
But that's the story, you would have us believe.
So, it's hard for me to assume that you didn't threaten this person as well.
And I got to say in 2022,
our country has descended the depths that never should have.
But I think there should be a limit on how many partners you've
threatened to blow the head off for you to still be able to become a senator.
I don't know if it should be one or two or whatever, but
we got to as a society set the line somewhere.
And I feel like Herschel walker has gone past it.
