During the five-minute interview, Walsh argued that he is a better advocate for minority interests than Jackson's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

“We are at a crucial point where so many Americans are dependent on government, and as someone like myself who’s worked in the inner city for years, I am genuinely concerned, because we have an opportunity to really try to do something for African-Americans and Hispanics in this country. It’s not Republicans that want to categorize and group people. Democrats want to make everybody dependent on government. What they tend to do is they tend to break people down according to group.”

All Jesse Jackson is trying to do it to keep African-Americans down on some plantation. How come Jesse Jackson opposes school choice for inner-city African-American parents? How come he won’t give that ability to low-income black parents? Because he doesn’t want blacks, African-Americans to escape miserable public schools. He won’t give them that opportunity? Why? Because he wants them dependent and imprisoned in terrible public schools in the inner city.”

Walsh then criticized Jackson for demanding that the killer of Trayvon Martin be charged with murder, while ignoring black-on-black crime in Chicago.
