new nations Rich McHugh joins us live rich you spoke exclusively with Jeff walls about those comments that's right Nicole I spoke with him this morning and he says he wants to set the record straight and basically clear the air on some of the misconceptions about what he said now just to reset the New York Post over this weekend published comments uh that the Elder Walts Jeff Waltz made on Facebook about his brother saying he was not the type of character who should make decision Visions about our future and that quote I'm 100% opposed to all his ideology uh president Trump former president Donald Trump took the truth social praised him sounds like a really great guy and this set off a wave of speculation that they were going to be campaigning together or something Jeff walls tells me that while he disagrees with his brother he won't be campaigning for or against him take a listen I will say I I don't agree with with his policies but in no way am I trying to influence the the general public and come out and make a stance on that uh it was a private thing we're a private family we we we wanted to keep it that way now I also asked him about his relationship with his brother and if it's true that they actually had not spoken in eight years uh take a listen it was pretty accurate that I hadn't spoken to him since my uh younger brother's funeral um other than uh my wife would would text him for like happy birthday and stuff like that but U there there was just no contact either way and it's and it's too bad I guess that it work worked out that way because he is my brother yet and everything and and I guess you know you can disagree and still still be civil Brothers um I should clarify about three weeks ago my mother was visiting here and he called on her cell phone and she gave me the cell phone I talked to him briefly he they were they were vetting him Canal Harris's team was vetting him for the vi uh and he he had asked me for some some personal information tax information and stuff like that and I declined to give it at that point but that was as like a two-minute conversation now the Elder walls wants to make perfectly clear that he says this is the last he will be speaking on this matter he wants to be part of no campaign either campaign he's just is an ordinary guy caught up in extraordinary circumstances yeah absolutely yeah the families uh don't ask to be part of it all all right Rich McHugh thank you thanks for
