Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day today.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I have some closing remarks too, because it's just someone,
it's something that just didn't set well in my spirit.
So these are my closing remarks, and it's pretty much
a continuation of yesterday. Y'all. We have got we have
got to understand what voting is. Look, I don't expect

(00:31):
anybody to fix or straighten my life up. I don't
really think the cavalry is coming over the hill. But
we have got to continue to show our value. We
have got to continue to do the things to make
them see us, to make them pay attention to us.

(00:55):
I'm telling you right now, man, the reason they pay
attention to us right now with this election is because
they know we affected it the last time. We affected
the vote in Michigan. Because when it came down to Detroit,
when it came down to Milwaukee, when it came down

(01:17):
to Philly, and when it came down to Atlanta, those
were the big votes they needed. And guess what, when
they went to the counties and communities that are heavily
populated by us, we were the determining factor in the election.
Why do you think Donald Trump and the Republican Party

(01:42):
are going out of their way to all of a
sudden focus on black people. Oh man, they focusing and
they lying to you. They are lying to you. But
they try to put so much importance on every time
they see a black for Trump shirt. They even now
they have in words for Trump. Do you know that

(02:04):
they have t shirts with that only day. It's just
it's sickening to me, man. But the Republican Party is
paying attention. Man. I've been watching his trial lately, and
they threatened the president, the president, former President Trump with
a gag order, and he said he respects and loves
of constitution so much that he'll sacrifice for that any day.

(02:29):
Like if he doesn't freely be able to say what
he want to say about a juror or a judge,
that's his constitutional right. And he'll go to jail for that.
And he's ignorant ass people sitting up here believe it.
Listen to him. He'll stand up, He'll go to jail
for his right of freedom of speech. No, he'll go
to jail for his right to defile the court system.

(02:51):
It's called contempt. When you get held in contempt of court,
you can't violate the rules. But he constantly us that,
and he makes you all think it's all right. And
then the sad thing about it is seventy million people
think he's all right. They agree with him. But listen
to me, y'all. We have an obligation to vote. We

(03:13):
have a duty to vote. We have something to prove
when we vote. When we vote, we get counted. Now,
listen to me. If you think that this party of
that party is not gonna do everything for you, nobody is.
But you can at least affect some of what's going
on in here. See, had we voted enough, had we

(03:36):
voted enough, and Trump didn't win that year, Rowe versus
Wade wouldn't have never got overturned. But he had the
power to put in and see somebody in the Supreme Court.
So now guess what. Now they are all on top
of women's rights. Now they're telling women what to do

(03:57):
with they body. And you can't do that, man. And
now if you look at what's happening down there in
Florida with Desantas and all these people, and in Texas
turning back diversity and inclusion in equity, they peeling back
all of that, man, because they don't give a damn

(04:17):
by diversity, and they don't give a damn about including you.
And if you don't vote, you have the wrong people
in there that can push these policies forward. That's why
voting is mandatory and necessary for black people. Don't be
ignorant and listen to ignorant people that call in on

(04:37):
this show sitting up here talking about black people ain't
obligated to voting. Quit telling them that because you're part
of the system. I'm part of the system. Dog. You
don't know me, but you just like everybody else that
they never met me. You're always opening your mouth, running
your mouth bout something about Steve Harvey that you know
little to nothing about. Because I'm gonna tell you something.

(05:01):
The one thing about me I know for a fact.
I'm a man's man. They ain't a man. Meet me,
sit down and talk to me that. Don't come away
and go, hey man, he a real dude, he a
real man. You may not like me, but you do
respect have to respect me. I'm not gonna let you
disrespect me. And I don't have men walking around talking

(05:22):
about he ain't about that, he ain't about this, not
that know me, not that know me. If somebody talking
about me negatively, I promise you they don't know me,
or they wanted something from me and they didn't get it.
And now all of a sudden, I ain't this because
of that. Other than that, I can stand on pretty
much everything I say. I've been solid, so you can

(05:45):
say I'm part of the system, but no, man, I'm
really part of the solution, and you just happen to
be one of the damn problems. Yeah, you the one
that wrote in yesterday called in talking about stop telling
black people they are obligated to vote. Oh, one of
the stupidest calls I've ever had. It really pissed me off.

(06:06):
But I played your call, man, because I tried to
say that. But next time you call in, do me
a favorite dog. Leave your name because you said my
name and I got to deal with it. So next time,
just be mad enough to say your name. I'll be
waiting on you to call back. I know you won't,
but I'll be waiting on you. Y'all have a great
day today. Hey, y'all, talk to God. You love to

(06:27):
hear from your peace.
