see, i like let's help the inner cities and that brings to us ray lewis and jim brown. that really i do believe both of them are sincere in wanting to help young black males in particular. and i see them as much more important than a kanye west in the long run. because these guys, brown and lewis, if they could establish a bridge to the inner cities, for example, and say, look, trump's not the devil, he wants to bring better education and more things to this area, give him a chance. that would be very constructive, would it not? >> absolutely. the thing is they are not politicians, bill. they're not civil rights leaders. i think jim brown much more so than ray lewis is a man of greatest steam in the black community. but the point that i would say to you is you notice these aren't politicians. these aren't civil rights icons. he doesn't have those connections. i think going back to boxing and people like don king. >> he doesn't want to get ambushed. >> he is not going to get am bished. this is the same principal like bill gates. people like power and want access to power

i'm sure jim brown and ray lewis went in with great intentions.opportunity, he's the president. get funding or publicity, good thing. but you need to be careful with the hero worship of donald trump. >> yeah. >> where was this philanthropy and all that for african-american community before? >> does he have to do better things? >> much better. i have covered celebrities for 25 years and watched a lot of journalists to be confronted what it means to be in the space with someone whou thought you didn't like, had opposing ideas with and come to find out there's banter, things you have in common. things become humanized in the room. to go from only knowing donald trump as the nasty politician that he's become to now knowing him as person you're going to potentially pop a bottle with, let's talk about the celebrity cult thing going on here, i think it has unnerving -- it takes people unfortunately even the jim browns of our community clearly by storm. >> foreman nfl great ray lewis also at meeting. here's what he had to say. >> we believe with the trum

i'm sure jim brown and ray lewis and those folks went in there with good intentions because they havetoring program and maybe they want to get funding for their program or publicity, which will be a good thing if you're doing good stuff. but you need to be careful with hero worship of donald trump. you know, where was all of this philanthropy and all of this concern for the black community before? i don't remember any donald trump mentoring programs. >> here is what he said -- >> kieran, he said, what do you have to lose? now he has to deliver on that promise. he needs to do better things or what? >> well, he has to do lots better. but to the earlier point, you know, i have covered celebrities for 25 years and i've watched a lot of journalists be fronted with what it means to be in the pace with someone you thought you had opposing ideas with, who you thought you didn't like, and then come to find out there's banter, there's things you have in common. things become very humanized in the room. so to go from only knowing donald trump as the nasty politician that he's become to now knowi
