>> Laura: WITH ALL THE ROT
THAT IS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION,
YOU HAVE TO START ASKING, WHAT
ARE THE PRESIDENT’S PRIORITIES?
WELL, BIDEN HAS DECIDED NOT TO
CLEAN HOUSE IN THE WHITE HOUSE,
LIKE THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF.
HE HAS DECIDED TO CLEAN HOUSE AT
THE PRESIDENTS COUNCIL ON SPORTS
FITNESS AND NUTRITION.
AND BY THAT I MEAN FORCE OUT TWO
TRUMP APPOINTEES STILL SITTING
ON IT BECAUSE SPORTS IS NOW
POLITICIZED.
DR. MINUTE ODDS AND HERSCHEL WAL
TELLING THEM TO RESIGN BY
6:00 P.M. LAST NIGHT OR BE
FIRED, THEY BOTH CHOSE THE
LATTER.
ONE OF THEM IS HERE TO TELL US
WHY.
HERSCHEL WALKER, GEORGIA SENATE
CANDIDATE AND FORMER NFL PLAYER
EXTRAORDINAIRE JOINS ME NOW.
SO THAT’S IT?
I GUESS YOU’RE OFFICIALLY OFF
THE COUNCIL FOR JUST BEING YOU?
>> WELL, I AM, AND YOU KNOW,
WITH SO MUCH GOING ON IN THIS
COUNTRY, I CANNOT BELIEVE HE’S
GOING TO THINK THAT HERSCHEL
WALKER IS GOING TO QUIT.
I THINK HE DON’T KNOW HERSCHEL
WALKER.
HE SENT ME A LETTER AT 10:00,
ASKED ME TO RESIGN OR THEY ARE
GOING TO FIRE ME AT 6:00, SO I
SAID I’M NOT GOING TO QUIT, SO I
RECKON THEY ARE GOING TO FIRE ME
BUT I HAVEN’T GOTTEN A LETTER
THAT THEY FIRED ME AT.
>> Laura: I THINK THEY ARE
PEGGING THIS TO THE FACT THAT
YOU AND OZ ARE RUNNING FOR
OFFICE AND THEY SAY YOU CAN’T
SIT ON THE SPORTS COUNCIL WHILE
YOU’RE DOING THAT.
I MEAN, IT’S PART OF THE HATCH
ACT EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE NOT
ACTUALLY IN OFFICE YET, SO I’M
NOT SURE IF THAT REALLY MAKES
SENSE.
YOUR RESPONSE TO THE?
THEY SAY IT’S NOT PARTISAN.
>> IT’S VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE
I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO USE THE
COUNCIL WHILE I AM OUT
CAMPAIGNING HOME AND I NEVER
HAVE USED THE COUNCIL WHILE I’VE
BEEN CAMPAIGNING, AND THAT’S
WHAT WAS SO STRANGE, THEY SENT
ME THIS LETTER, THEY KNOW MY
CAMPAIGN AND WHERE I’M RAISING
MONEY BECAUSE I’M GOING TO WIN
THIS SENATE SEAT AND I THINK
THAT’S WHAT THEY THOUGHT THEY
COULD DO, IS THROW ME OFF TRACK,
BUT THIS LETTER IS NOT GOING TO
DO THAT.
THE WAY THEY’RE GOING TO THROW
ME OFF TRACK IF THEY ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO GET OUT -- THEY’RE
GOING TO SHOW THAT THESE
POLICIES I AM MAKING RIGHT NOW
ARE GOING TO BE GREAT FOR
GEORGIA AND GREAT FOR AMERICA.
>> Laura: SPEAKING OF THE
RACE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE
LATEST POLLS SAID AND RIGHT NOW
YOU ARE LEADING RAPHAEL WARNOCK
BY FOUR POINTS.
GIVEN HOW, YOU KNOW, HIGH
INFLATION IS, ENERGY PRICES IN
THE STATE AND EVERYWHERE,
HITTING GEORGIANS ESPECIALLY
HARD, DO YOU EXPECT THAT TO
INCREASE OR DO YOU EXPECT THIS
TO STAY PRETTY CLOSE?
>> I EXPECT THAT TO INCREASE IN
THE REGIONAL SAY THAT IF THEY
ARE NOT GOING TO TRY TO MAKE
ANYTHING BETTER.
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE DOUBLING DOWN
AND THEY ARE GOING BACK AND
BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE A SET
BLAMING THEMSELVES.
RIGHT NOW WE COULD BE ENERGY
INDEPENDENT, THEY DON’T EVEN
WANT TO DO THAT.
WE CAN START DOING THINGS FOR
OURSELVES, THEY DON’T EVEN WANT
TO DO THAT.
THEY WANT TO HURT GEORGIA, THEY
WANT TO HURT THE AMERICA PEOPLE
SO THEY SEEM TO BE DOUBLING DOWN
TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY TERRIBLE
AND PUTTING A SECOND.
AMERICA IS NOT SECOND AND I’M
NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR THAT.
THERE’S A REASON I GOT IN THE
RACE.
I’M NOT GOING TO SETTLE FOR
SECOND PLACE.
THIS IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN
THE WORLD.
>> Laura: WHAT YOUR MESSAGE TO
AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTERS IN
GEORGIA, MANY OF WHOM HAVE
SUFFERED FAILING SCHOOLS,
INCREASED CRIME RATES AND -- IN
CITY AREAS ESPECIALLY, WHAT’S
YOUR MESSAGE AND WHAT CAN
REPUBLICANS DO TO REACH OUT?
>> I THINK WHAT REPUBLICANS CAN
DO TO REACH OUT IS FIRST OF ALL
GET BETTER MESSAGING IN THE
SENSE OF LETTING THEM KNOW THAT
WHAT THEY -- WHAT THE REPUBLICAN
STANDS FOR IS WHAT
AFRICAN-AMERICANS BELIEVE IN.
THEY BELIEVE IN EDUCATION.
THEY BELIEVE IN A SCHOOL CHOICE.
THEY BELIEVE IN PUBLIC SAFETY.
THEY BELIEVE IN ALL THE THINGS
THAT ALL THE DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN
TELLING THEY DON’T AND I THINK
THEY ARE SEEING IT NOW.
YOU LOOK AT THIS ECONOMY RIGHT
NOW AND I THINK THEY ARE
STARTING TO SEE THAT ALL THE
MESSAGES THAT THEY THOUGHT WE
WERE, WE ARE NOT, AND RIGHT NOW
THEY BELIEVE IN THIS COUNTRY.
I’M SAD TO SAY THAT HERSCHEL
WALKER GOT AN I.D.
I CAN GET MY OWN IDEA, I’M SMART
ENOUGH TO HAVE AN I.D. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT, IT’S SO STRANGE, I
ALSO KNOW THAT I CAN VOTE.
YOU KNOW, WE CAN GET OUT AND WE
CAN VOTE, WE DON’T NEED PEOPLE
TELLING US THAT WE CAN’T VOTE,
THAT WE ARE NOT SURPRISED AND I
CAN FIND THE AMERICA STREAM HERE
IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
>> Laura: ALL RIGHT.
GREAT TO SEE HER TONIGHT, SORRY
ABOUT THE COUNCIL ON PHYSICAL
