>> SHAQ BREWSTER WITH GABE
GUTIERREZ AND MONICA ALBA IN
WASHINGTON.
THANKS TO YOU ALL.
>>> I WANT TO BRING IN ANTHONY
DAVIS, PRESIDENT OF KENOSHA’S
NAACP CHAPTER.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TODAY.
>> THANK YOU, HALLIE, FOR HAVING
ME ON.
>> I KNOW YOU’RE GETTING READY
TO HEAD TO THE EVENT THAT GABE
WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER IN THE
SHOW.
LIKE THE MAYOR AND THE GOVERNOR,
YOU ASKED PRESIDENT TRUMP TO
POSTPONE HIS TRIP, TO RECONSIDER
HIS VISIT TODAY.
YOU TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR CU
PRESIDENT’S RATIONAL TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE TRIP, WHICH HE
SAYS IS TO THANK AND SUPPORT
NATIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
>> RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN THROUGH, YOU KNOW,
WITH JACOB BLAKE GETTING SHOT,
AND THEN ALSO THE OTHER
PROTESTERS BEING KILLED AND ONE
BEING INJURED, WE’RE AT A POINT
NOW AND ALL -- THINKING ABOUT
ALL THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN
DONE, WE’RE AT A POINT RIGHT NOW
HERE IN KENOSHA, WE’RE TRYING TO
HEAL, WE’RE TRYING TO COME
TOGETHER.
AND WITH THE PRESIDENT COMING
BECAUSE WE KNOW WE’RE IN THE
MIDDLE OF A ELECTION CYCLE.
AND THE PEOPLE THAT I TALKED TO,
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, FEEL
THAT IF WE WERE TO EVEN SHOW UP
NEAR THAT AREA -- THE AREAS
WHERE THE DAMAGE IS TAKEN PLACE,
WE WOULD BE USED AS A TOOL IN
THIS ELECTION PROCESS.
WE DO NOT WANT TO BE USED IN
THAT FASHION.
IT WOULD BE BEST AT THE TIME
THAT HE WOULD CANCEL HIS TRIP,
BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, IT IS GOING
TO BRING SOME HEIGHTENED
ANXIETIES AND CONTENTION HERE.
SO OUR GOAL IS TO TRY TO
DE-ESCALATE WHEREVER WE CAN.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
FOR HEIGHTENED ANXIETIES.
HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU IN THE
PREPARATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
FOR TODAY?
>> WELL, TODAY I SPOKE WITH
JACOB’S UNCLE YESTERDAY, WE WERE
IN A MEETING, AND SAID, LOOK,
LET’S ALL GO TO THE AREA WHERE
JACOB HAD BEEN SHOT SEVEN TIMES.
SO WE’RE GOING TO GO SUPPORT
THAT FAMILY DURING THIS TIME AND
WE’RE HOPING EVERYONE THAT
SUPPORTS THE FAMILY BECAUSE THEY
ASKED THAT PEOPLE DO NOT GO TO
THOSE AREAS AND PROTEST WHILE
THE PRESIDENT IS HERE.
>> THE PRESIDENT MADE SOME NEW
COMMENTS ABOUT THE USE -- ABOUT
POLICE FORCE, POLICE SHOOTINGS,
ON FOX NEWS OVERNIGHT.
I WANT TO PLAY A PIECE OF THAT
FOR YOU AND GET YOUR REACTION.
HERE IT IS.
>> OKAY.
>> THEY CHOKED.
SHOOTING A GUY -- SHOOTING A GUY
IN THE BACK MANY TIMES, I MEAN,
COULDN’T YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING
DIFFERENT?
COULDN’T YOU HAVE WRESTLED HIM?
I MEAN, IN THE MEANTIME, HE
MIGHT HAVE BEEN GOING FOR A
WEAPON AND, YOU KNOW, IT IS A
WHOLE BIG THING THERE.
BUT THEY CHOKE.
JUST LIKE IN A GOLF TOURNAMENT.
>> YOU HEAR THE HOST STEP IN AND
SAY, YOU’RE NOT COMPARING THESE
TWO THINGS, ARE YOU, THE
PRESIDENT SAYS I’M JUST SAYING
SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHOKE.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOUR
REACTION IS TO THAT.
>> I PLAY GOLF.
I KNOW ABOUT CHOKING.
BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU’RE TALKING
ABOUT A LIFE HERE.
A MAN HAS BEEN INJURED.
YOU CANNOT EQUATE GOLF AND A
MAN’S LIFE.
I JUST DON’T SEE THAT.
IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE AND
WHAT PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE AS FAR
AS -- OUR POLICE, OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THE DE-ESCALATING SITUATION OF
THIS SORT.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT
THING WE FELT WOULD HAVE BEEN,
YOU KNOW, DONE AT THAT TIME.
SO GOLF AND -- NO.
I DISAGREE.
>> LET ME ASK YOU THIS, I
UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT PRESIDENT
TRUMP VISITING KENOSHA, WHAT
ABOUT FORMER VICE PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN?
ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY PLANS FOR
POTENTIALLY HIM TO COME TO
KENOSHA TO VISIT AND IS THAT
SOMETHING YOU WOULD SUPPORT?
>> NOT AT THIS TIME.
I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE EITHER
CANDIDATE HERE.
WE HAVE OUR OWN ISSUES HERE IN
KENOSHA
KENOSHA.
WE’RE SOMEWHAT OF A BEDROOM
COMMUNITY.
AND WE NEED THIS TIME.
WE DON’T NEED TO BE HAVING
CANDIDATES COME HERE AND TALKING
TO THE PEOPLE OR HEARING THIS OR
THAT OR ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE GOING
TO DO.
WE JUST NEED SOME TIME FOR
OURSELVES.
THE LEADERSHIP HERE IN THIS
COMMUNITY IS WORKING HARD,
TRYING TO DO THOSE THINGS.
BRING OUR PEOPLE TOGETHER.
AND LOOK AT WHERE WE CAN GO IN
THE FUTURE AS FAR AS REBUILDING
ALL THOSE BUSINESSES AND -- THAT
HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, AND FOLKS
HAVE BEEN DISPLACED OUT OF THEIR
HOMES AND ALSO WE’RE DOING THIS
DURING A TIME OF COVID-19, WHICH
MAKES IT EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO
DEAL WITH.
SO WHEN YOU GATHER A WHOLE LOT
OF PEOPLE TOGETHER, FOR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WHERE WE
