Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are last break of the day,
and Steve, before you get to your closing, we had a.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Caller earlier from Oklahoma.

Speaker 1 (00:06):
He left a message about Vice President Harris. Hey, Steve,
this is a good question.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Is that Wardley could chip Offklahoma. I got to questions
about the presidency. I don't feel Kamala is with.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
For presidency just because she's black.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Why do you feel that she's fit to president because
she's black? Thank you? Yeah, good Eggs.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Well, that call kind of got me to thinking, and
these are my closing remarks. You're asking me, you don't
think she's fit to be president just because she's black,
And why do you think she's fit to be president? Well,
first of all, let's take black off of it for

(00:48):
a second. Let's just talk about her qualifications to be president.
Let's just start with some basic stuff. Let's just talk
about her record. Let's talk about her political involvement. Let's
talk about her role in the Senate. Let's talk about

(01:09):
her being an attorney general. Let's talk about her already
having served four years as the vice president of the
United States. Let's talk about her character. Let's talk about
her plan of unifying the country. Versus the other alternative.

(01:32):
Let's talk about her consideration as a person. Now, now
that we've just done some of those things. You say
you don't think she's qualified just because she's black, and
why would I vote for her just because she's black?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Well, let me tell you some things right here. If
we don't.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Start understanding who we are and respecting who we are,
we'll never get anybody else to get that. I would
have an image of her in the White House, that
a second term of Donald Trump in the White House.
I don't think you understand something, brother? You asking me

(02:12):
why would I vote for her just cause she black?
Do you know how many people are not going to
vote for her for the same reason? Do you understand
what we are dealing with here?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Brother?

Speaker 3 (02:23):
So why are you asking me why would I vote
for her just cause she black? I want to ask
the people why they vote. Why are they not voting.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
For her cause she black? Do you know what we're
up against? Man?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Do you understand the imagery that it presents? And yes,
I am going to vote for her, and the fact
that she black helps me a great deal, because let
me tell you something, I want to see some things
before I leave this world. I was fortunate enough to

(02:59):
see President Barack Obama become president. And I'm telling you
something I didn't think i'd ever see that in my lifetime.
I really didn't. I was born in nineteen fifty seven.
Do you know what I've seen, man, I grew up
in segregation. I'm from wel Trust, Virginia. I've seen colored

(03:20):
only water fountains. I've seen where blacks couldn't sit.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
At lunch counters. I was alive. I was downtown with
my mama, trying to eat at Woolworths. All of that.
I am telling you, I've seen everything.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
Man. I watched my father man tell me about the
indignities he had to suffer as a black man in
the South.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
So would I vote for her just cause she black? Yep?

Speaker 3 (03:50):
But here's a caveat though she's black and qualified, she's
black and more than qualified. See, brother, she's already held
the vice presidency for four years.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
At you act like that? Don't that don't count for nothing?
Are you kidding me? Mine? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
But now, since you want to ask me why I'm
voting for a car she's black because of the alternative.
That's what's really got me on fire for Kamala Harris
because of the alternative. The alternative is President Donald Trump.
Do you understand what he really says and what he

(04:33):
doesn't ever say? Have you thought about that for a second, brother,
Well I have. He's already been convicted, him and his
father of unfair housing towards black people. That's already been proven.
That's they lost the case. He took out a full
page ad against the park Central Park, five five innocent

(04:56):
black young men. He was ralliant to put in prison,
keep them there and get rid of them. They turned
out they were completely listen. He took out a full
page ad. He has referred to blacks in his rally
as there goes my African American man. Are you listening, man, bruh?

(05:20):
Have you listened to what he said that He says
that the reason that the they want to close the
border and wanted to alert black people is because they're
over here taking black jobs. Well, I got news for you.
Picking fruit ain't a black job. Working construction ain't just

(05:45):
a black job. It's nothing wrong with it. But that
ain't see. That's how he views us. He sees us
in a remedial position. But youooter and you help him
by thinking the way you're thinking. Well, he ain't got
me like that. I'm on this whole nother thing, and
I would tell you like I told I was on

(06:06):
a plane one time, flying and President Barack Obama was
running for president. A white guy was sitting next to me.
He said, can I ask you a question? You seem
like an intelligent man. Are you voting for President Barack
Obama just because he's black? I said, yes, I am,
I said, but let me ask you a question. Are
you not voting for him because he's black? He turned

(06:29):
his head and looked out the window the entire flight
and never spoke to me again. That's what we're up against.
So you're damn right. I'm voting for Kamala has and
your black ass should too. Those are my clothing marm.
