Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey, listen, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I told you we'd have a special guest today, but
I'm being joined right now, and I want you to
listen to me carefully by the only candidate that has
delivered some real progress for Americans and especially for black Americans,
and it's going to continue to do so as the
next president of the United States. Now, listen to me.
(00:25):
There is no choice when it comes to fighting for
a new way forward, because we are not going back.
So today our special guest is the current Vice President
of the United States. But if everything goes right and
we do our job, and we get to these polls
and we early vote, and we continue to take somebody
to the polls with us, we will be talking to
(00:45):
the next President of the United States. Thanks and gentlemen,
please welcome Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Thank you, Steve Harvey. It's good to be back with you.
Thank you so very much.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know something, this is tough. I got to tell you.
You're a tough lady. How's it going. You look strong?
Are you doing well all out there?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
How you feeling I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I have to tell you I've been traveling our country
and I'm just you know, there are so many good
folks feed you know this, who care about the future
of our country, who love our country, and who are
determined to make sure that they get folks to the polls.
I've been, you know, going to a lot of beautiful
churches where the pastors are leading souls to the polls.
(01:35):
I've been meeting with our young people who are first
time voters, who are coming out in incredible numbers because
they know what to stakes for their future. But there's
a whole lot of optimism out there, and I think
it's because people understand, you know, there's a very big
decision to be made, but a huge contrast between Donald
Trump and myself, and I think people want to turn
(01:56):
the page on his era of devicesiness and channing the
flames of hate. They want a new way forward that's
about optimism and dare I say joy, But also I'm
prepared to do the hard work. That's about bringing down
the cost to groceries, bringing down the cost to housing,
and focusing on the needs of our small businesses and
so much more.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know, you said something here that people in this
election there's a choice between two different versions of the
future and I'm telling you, I mean you look, if
you needed any more proof that that rally the other
night in Madison Square, God should have gave you all
the information you needed to know about the real differences.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You and Governor Waltz are fighting for a new way forward.
You're talking about protecting reproductive freedoms for women, for strengthening
our democracy, and you want every person to have an
opportunity to get ahead. But let's focus on this that
I've never seen done and in my life. You came
(02:59):
up with a real plan to help Black Americans specifically
you target specifically, you target it African American men. I've
never seen that in it. Can you go over some
of the points? I don't want to put you on
the spot. Can you go over some of the points
that you've made for Black Americans.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So first of all, let me just tell you that
I understand that. Listen, I'm going to be and I've
pledged to be a president for all Americans, but not
all people have been affected by issues the same way. So,
for example, in my agenda for black men, it includes
what we need to do around having a specific initiative
(03:41):
that is about black men's health because I know that
we have more higher rates of calling cancer and prostate cancer,
and I want to make sure we're increasing education and
screening for black men doing understanding that sickle cell affects
black men at a higher rate. My approach is an
agenda that also includes focusing on small businesses. You know,
(04:04):
our small businesses range from the barbershop and a beautiful
on to tech companies, to clean energy companies to construction companies.
And part of my focus is on making sure that
our entrepreneurs are small business owners that have access to
capital because unlike Donald Trump, who was given four hundred
million dollars on a silver platter and then file for
(04:25):
bankruptcy six times, not everybody has access to the capital.
But they've got good ideas, they have a serious work ethic,
and they have a product or an idea that actually
benefits the community. So my work is about one making
sure that we have twenty thousand dollars forgivable loans for
startup companies to be able to pay for the website.
(04:47):
Because you know, you can't just rely on your cousin
to set up your website, right. You need a good
website that opens your product up to market. The forgivable loans.
Includes if you want to start up a company where
you need products or you need equipment, and that's the
reason why you can't be successful, that I want to
eliminate that obstacle. My plan is about knowing that Black
(05:09):
families are forty percent less likely to be homeowners, so
I'm going to make sure that we have twenty five
thousand dollars down payment assistance for first time home buyers
so they can just get their foot in the door
and get on the path to living the dream of America,
the American Dreams, which also is about being on the
(05:30):
path to creating intergenerational wealth. So my agenda is it
has a lot of aspects to it that are everything
from bringing down the cost of groceries to bringing down
the cost of housing, making homeownership within the grass of
the American people, but also focusing on specific issues that
affect specific communities with a target of making sure that
(05:52):
we eliminate obstacles to success and to wealth building.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean, it has been an amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
As I've done research, you know, and I've really really
watched what you've been about and what you've done, I
became more and more impressed so has a lot of
people because it really came to the forefront. You know,
when a lot of people are talking, wow, I misunderstood
this about her, because now people have had a chance
to do the research. When you talk about black wealth
(06:19):
is of sixty percent before the pandemic, when you forgave
over one hundred and sixty seven billion in student loans,
you're fighting for more. We are going to show up
at these polls in numbers that's going to startle them.
And I want you to know that you have a
lot of support that people aren't talking about. Right there,
(06:41):
not a vice president. We'll be right back with more
of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We're back with the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Our special
guest this morning is Vice President Future President Kamala Harris.
And here's a big one that overlook sometimes over sixteen
billion dollars in investments in HBCUs and you're fighting the
lord the costs of HBCUs and double the value of
pay all grants. This is stuff you don't hear a
(07:12):
lot of people talking about. But you've been on these
bills for years and you've been fighting for these types
of progressive moves for all Americans, as you say, but
a lot of this affects black people specifically, And I
just wanted to say, I think that coming out at
this time has just been really, really beneficial for your campaign.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well, Steve, I have to tell you, I mean a
lot of my policies and priorities are based on personal experiences, right,
whether it be the importance of home ownership and knowing
how hard people work and save up trying to be
able to buy a home for their family, and you know,
I saw my mother struggle to do that and she
finally did when I was a teenager, or what I'm
(07:56):
going to do around making for Medicare, help pay for
home health care for our seniors, knowing that you know,
there is a part of all cultures, and certainly ours,
that you take care of your elders. But we have
a lot of folks who live in the Sandwich generation
who are taking care of their young kids and their parents,
and they need help. My focus on HBCUs is a
(08:18):
lot of it has to do with the fact that
as an HBC, a proud HBC you graduate, I know
that our HBCUs are centers of academic excellence, but don't
always have the kind of resources that other colleges and
universities have, and they need that kind of support, So
you're right, I mean, or even the work that I've
done on black maternal mortality, which affects not only women
(08:42):
but the men who love them, their husbands, their sons,
their fathers. So these are areas of work for me,
as you said, that have been long standing. Is not
just because I'm running for president. My whole focus on
black men and opportunity around financial opportunity long before I
started running for president. It's a lifelong commitment.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And also especially in the battleground states. You've been doing
these men huddle up events across the battleground states. Yes,
and this really shows a commitment to address specific needs
of black men.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's right. Well, listen, I know how folks have been overlooked,
and I'm very proud of what we've done over the
last four years to bring down black unemployment to historic loans.
But you know, I also understand and know that it
should be a baseline that everybody's working and has a job.
(09:40):
What people also wants the opportunity to create wealth. People
want the opportunity to be able to go on vacation
from time to time and buy their kids, you know,
the kinds of Christmas gifts that they want.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, hey, let's stop for just one second.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We got to take a quick break, and we'll be
right back with more of the President of the United States,
which I'll be saying that next week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right after this, you're listening.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Morning show.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We're back in our special guests this morning, as you
very well know, is the current Vice President of the
United States. We're gonna continue our conversation here. We'll pick
up where we left off. You know, you spoke about
uplifting people, and that leads me to this right here,
your opponent, Donald Trump is to me, I've seen it,
(10:30):
and I've been on my radio show preaching it over
and over and over. He has been a complete failure
for Black America. And he's running a racist campaign with
a racist agenda that will give him unprecedented power to
roll back all of our rights and freedoms. It's gonna
hurt the middle class, gonna threaten our democracy. The Trump
(10:53):
Vans Project twenty twenty five agenda will be a complete
disaster for Black America.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
What do you say to that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Well, you're right, and anybody listening should go and google
Project twenty twenty five. They will eliminate the Department of
Education and head Start. They will make it more difficult
for workers to get over time pay. And that's on
top of what he will do to get rid of Medicare,
(11:25):
Get rid of the ability of Medicare to negotiate drug
prices against the big pharmaceutical company, get rid of look
at project twenty twenty five. It will get rid of
the thirty five dollars a month cap on insulin for
our seniors. Black folks are sixty percent more likely to
be diagnosed with diabetes. But to your point, Steve, it
is this is an election of consequence. And on the
(11:49):
one side, you've got Donald Trump, whose policies are not
about lifting up hard working people. You've got Donald Trump, who,
way back from the beginning of his career when he
was a landlord, refused to rent to black families, who
took out a full page ad in the New York
Times calling for the execution of five young black and
(12:10):
Latino children who were innocent the Central Park. Find somebody
who called the first black president of the United States
to call them out and claimed he was not born
in the United States, birtherism, and then most recently as
it relates to legal black immigrants in Ohio, said they
were eating their pets. This is who he is. And
(12:33):
I think folks know, when you look at his character,
you got to understand. You know, it's one thing for
him to have his name on a building in Vegas,
is a whole other thing to think about him having
the power of the presidency to either lift people up
or push people down and tear people down. And this
is the choice that people have. And Steeve, I would
(12:56):
press this point also, I would ask your listness to
just know that you know, if you are a hard
work in person, if you have aspirations and goals but
you didn't inherit what you got, you got to know
you're not really in Donald Trump's club. Right. He's not
(13:16):
going to sleep at night thinking about how he's going
to take care of your grandmother or grandfather. He's looking
out for people like him. When he was president, he
pushed and accomplished tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
And as president again, if he were elected but you
will not be, he would do the same. So I
(13:37):
asked people to look at who do you believe is
actually going to be there fighting for you, and I
think based on character and performance, the choice is clear.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, for us, you know, the choice is crystal clear.
I've been just pounding it daily daily on the radio show.
When you hear Sloan's like, you know, blacks for Trump,
I've been asking people cause I can't get a person
to call in to show me how Trump is for blacks.
I mean, I'm you can create any slogan you want to,
but let's back it up with something. I just the
(14:09):
facts are all in the the rally at Madison Square Garden. Man.
I was just sitting there, man, just going this. I
watched the whole collage of statements. This is one of
the worst campaigns I've seen. And you are holding up
incredibly strong. You're in the last few days of this campaign.
(14:31):
This is the last week.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It is November fifth.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Who'sday?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
November fifth?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What's is looking like for you? Madter? Vice President?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I intend to win, Steve Harvey, and it's going to
be because people don't let themselves be silent, and they
will get out and vote. And you know, we know
our voices, our vote and our vote is our power.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hold on one second.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
We'll be right back, everybody with more Steve Harvey Moore
the show right after this.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You're listening.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, everybody, We're back in our special guest this
morning as Vice President Kamala Harris are soon to be
president of the United States, are let's continue the conversation.
Not a vice president, I got to tell you something.
It has been a pleasure to represent you and to
stand up for you and to be able to stand
(15:27):
up for you based on so many facts. I mean,
just the quality of person you are. The decision is
real clear, and I mean for a lot of us.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I what I am saying as I travel the country
is that people refuse to be silent and then not
gonna fall for the okie. Do people know the difference
between fact and fiction and who's going to actually be
fighting for them? And look, I am non perfect. I
will make mistakes, but I will work around the clubs
(16:00):
on behalf of the people who deserve to be seen
and heard and uplifted. That is the work I have
done in my career. That is the work I will
continue to do. I've only had one client in my
life to people, and that's who I fight for. And
so my agenda really is about an opportunity economy that's
about helping to lift people up, but again also recognizing
(16:24):
the disparities that have existed. And we talked as an
example about home ownership as one point of reference, so
you know, or for example, my work on increasing access
to capital for small businesses is also based on an
understanding and knowledge that only one percent of venture capitalists
investment go to black owned businesses, right, So we have
(16:46):
to recognize where the disparities exist and see how we
can create public policy in a way that takes those
into accounts.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, and I think there's going to be a surprise
next week because they haven't counted on really you know,
they never really poll us anyway, but they haven't counted
on really how bright of a people we are, and
how and and and and and how.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Shrewd we can be. And we proved it in the
last election.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
But we are going to show up at these polls
in numbers that's going to startle them. And I want
you to know that you have a lot of support
that the people aren't talking about. But you got some
people back here. That's that's that's stomping strong for you
on these yards around here. And I also want you
to know this too. We know it's been tough for you,
(17:37):
and the spiritual people have been praying for you because
they they know what you're up against. So I just
wanted to give you that vote of encouragement and tell
you to keep keep up the good fight. You're a
wonderful candidate. God, I couldn't be prouder. And you know
you're Look look the way you handled him in the
first debate. This, this is why there have been no
(17:59):
more debates because that, Please, I've been trying.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
He won't.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
No, they're not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You you exposed too much because the low i Q statement.
To even say that right there, it's crazy to me
because I was looking at it on TV.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So congratulations, madam, than you.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Harvey, and thank you for the time, and thank you
for your voice and your leadership always and the frinship.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Hey, We're gonna get you through it, all right, all right,
all right for sure?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Thanks and gentlemen, the future President of the United States,
President Kamala Harris, gonna sound good.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Might as well say it.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Now, President right there.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Talking to drop the mic vote President.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
You know, no, I mean, you know, you know, I
wanted her to understand that she has told a lot
of support.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know, she said in the beginning, you know, we're
going to win next week. And I just was saying,
you know, if we get out and we do our
job and we go to the polls and we take
people to the polls, you know that we we can
we can win this thing right here. And we talked
about how clear of a choice it was. It wasn't
one of the talking points, but I bought up the
(19:29):
Republican uh, the Trump rally at Madisonsbury Garden. It clearly
showed you who they really are. I was, I was,
I was stunned.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
The level.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
And she's the polar opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And you know what, I was surprised Doctor Field said
some stuff because I watched this entire interview, because I've
known this guy, you know, We've been out on vacations
and run up in each other, and I like this guy.
And I was surprised at him saying Donald Trump is
here because he's here because Donald Trump is not a bully.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
But what is I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And his description of what makes a person a bully
was a description of Donald Trump. He was saying that
a person's not a bully if you don't have a
come from a position of power. That's all he uses
is the threat of his power to push people around.
And then he said celebrities shouldn't be endorsed in stuff
(20:42):
because they don't know nothing about policy, and they don't
know nothing about the issues. He said, And why am
I up here? Because I was thinking the exact same thing.
He said, Well, because at least I'm willing to admit
we don't know. No, man, that's not true. Okay, if
celebrities don't know nothing about issues and policy, what does
(21:03):
the common voter know?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We all are talking about our vote.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And Doctor Field said, you know, I don't agree with
everything anybody says. Nobody agrees with it. Why you uphill man? Yeah,
that's what I kept saying, if you were counterbalancing everything
you say. And then I watched Doctor Phield because I
know him. He was drinking water as soon as he
got out there. He was nervous, he was he had
(21:28):
that bottle of water. You've never seen Doctor Phild take
sip water on his show thirty five year.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
His appearance shocked a lot of people, though, Doctor Phil
I was very shocked.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, it wasn't necessary, Like you're up there if you
don't really agree with if this is not your guy,
like that this is.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You don't agree with everything he says.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You're up there because he's not a bully, and you
do your description of a bully described him, and then
you said celebrities don't no issues and all policy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Okay, is insulted. The vice President of the United States
called her names, insulted her all of these things.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's definitely apparently doctor Field has never been bullied before
because he just don't know what it looks.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, I was really that. I was. I was surprised.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
A lot of people were surprised about his appearance there. Anyway,
back on message, Steve, your interview was great with the
vice president. Congratulations out on that. And if we do
our part, she will be our next president for sure.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
She is working so hard, oh so proud.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
For it, and she's she does it so joyously, you know,
with with joy.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I just love her her serving the people.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah six, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Go vote vote vote vote all.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Right, coming up next it is my Strawberry letter. We're
gonna switch gears here. The subject is I'm not sure
whose baby this is. We'll get into it right after this.
You're listening Hardy Morning Show
Hey, listen, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I told you we'd have a special guest today, but
I'm being joined right now, and I want you to
listen to me carefully by the only candidate that has
delivered some real progress for Americans and especially for black Americans,
and it's going to continue to do so as the
next president of the United States. Now, listen to me.
(00:25):
There is no choice when it comes to fighting for
a new way forward, because we are not going back.
So today our special guest is the current Vice President
of the United States. But if everything goes right and
we do our job, and we get to these polls
and we early vote, and we continue to take somebody
to the polls with us, we will be talking to
(00:45):
the next President of the United States. Thanks and gentlemen,
please welcome Vice President Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Thank you, Steve Harvey. It's good to be back with you.
Thank you so very much.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know something, this is tough. I got to tell you.
You're a tough lady. How's it going. You look strong?
Are you doing well all out there?
Speaker 1 (01:08):
How you feeling I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I have to tell you I've been traveling our country
and I'm just you know, there are so many good
folks feed you know this, who care about the future
of our country, who love our country, and who are
determined to make sure that they get folks to the polls.
I've been, you know, going to a lot of beautiful
churches where the pastors are leading souls to the polls.
(01:35):
I've been meeting with our young people who are first
time voters, who are coming out in incredible numbers because
they know what to stakes for their future. But there's
a whole lot of optimism out there, and I think
it's because people understand, you know, there's a very big
decision to be made, but a huge contrast between Donald
Trump and myself, and I think people want to turn
(01:56):
the page on his era of devicesiness and channing the
flames of hate. They want a new way forward that's
about optimism and dare I say joy, But also I'm
prepared to do the hard work. That's about bringing down
the cost to groceries, bringing down the cost to housing,
and focusing on the needs of our small businesses and
so much more.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
You know, you said something here that people in this
election there's a choice between two different versions of the
future and I'm telling you, I mean you look, if
you needed any more proof that that rally the other
night in Madison Square, God should have gave you all
the information you needed to know about the real differences.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You and Governor Waltz are fighting for a new way forward.
You're talking about protecting reproductive freedoms for women, for strengthening
our democracy, and you want every person to have an
opportunity to get ahead. But let's focus on this that
I've never seen done and in my life. You came
(02:59):
up with a real plan to help Black Americans specifically
you target specifically, you target it African American men. I've
never seen that in it. Can you go over some
of the points? I don't want to put you on
the spot. Can you go over some of the points
that you've made for Black Americans.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
So first of all, let me just tell you that
I understand that. Listen, I'm going to be and I've
pledged to be a president for all Americans, but not
all people have been affected by issues the same way. So,
for example, in my agenda for black men, it includes
what we need to do around having a specific initiative
(03:41):
that is about black men's health because I know that
we have more higher rates of calling cancer and prostate cancer,
and I want to make sure we're increasing education and
screening for black men doing understanding that sickle cell affects
black men at a higher rate. My approach is an
agenda that also includes focusing on small businesses. You know,
(04:04):
our small businesses range from the barbershop and a beautiful
on to tech companies, to clean energy companies to construction companies.
And part of my focus is on making sure that
our entrepreneurs are small business owners that have access to
capital because unlike Donald Trump, who was given four hundred
million dollars on a silver platter and then file for
(04:25):
bankruptcy six times, not everybody has access to the capital.
But they've got good ideas, they have a serious work ethic,
and they have a product or an idea that actually
benefits the community. So my work is about one making
sure that we have twenty thousand dollars forgivable loans for
startup companies to be able to pay for the website.
(04:47):
Because you know, you can't just rely on your cousin
to set up your website, right. You need a good
website that opens your product up to market. The forgivable loans.
Includes if you want to start up a company where
you need products or you need equipment, and that's the
reason why you can't be successful, that I want to
eliminate that obstacle. My plan is about knowing that Black
(05:09):
families are forty percent less likely to be homeowners, so
I'm going to make sure that we have twenty five
thousand dollars down payment assistance for first time home buyers
so they can just get their foot in the door
and get on the path to living the dream of America,
the American Dreams, which also is about being on the
(05:30):
path to creating intergenerational wealth. So my agenda is it
has a lot of aspects to it that are everything
from bringing down the cost of groceries to bringing down
the cost of housing, making homeownership within the grass of
the American people, but also focusing on specific issues that
affect specific communities with a target of making sure that
(05:52):
we eliminate obstacles to success and to wealth building.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean, it has been an amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
As I've done research, you know, and I've really really
watched what you've been about and what you've done, I
became more and more impressed so has a lot of
people because it really came to the forefront. You know,
when a lot of people are talking, wow, I misunderstood
this about her, because now people have had a chance
to do the research. When you talk about black wealth
(06:19):
is of sixty percent before the pandemic, when you forgave
over one hundred and sixty seven billion in student loans,
you're fighting for more. We are going to show up
at these polls in numbers that's going to startle them.
And I want you to know that you have a
lot of support that people aren't talking about. Right there,
(06:41):
not a vice president. We'll be right back with more
of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You're listening Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We're back with the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Our special
guest this morning is Vice President Future President Kamala Harris.
And here's a big one that overlook sometimes over sixteen
billion dollars in investments in HBCUs and you're fighting the
lord the costs of HBCUs and double the value of
pay all grants. This is stuff you don't hear a
(07:12):
lot of people talking about. But you've been on these
bills for years and you've been fighting for these types
of progressive moves for all Americans, as you say, but
a lot of this affects black people specifically, And I
just wanted to say, I think that coming out at
this time has just been really, really beneficial for your campaign.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Well, Steve, I have to tell you, I mean a
lot of my policies and priorities are based on personal experiences, right,
whether it be the importance of home ownership and knowing
how hard people work and save up trying to be
able to buy a home for their family, and you know,
I saw my mother struggle to do that and she
finally did when I was a teenager, or what I'm
(07:56):
going to do around making for Medicare, help pay for
home health care for our seniors, knowing that you know,
there is a part of all cultures, and certainly ours,
that you take care of your elders. But we have
a lot of folks who live in the Sandwich generation
who are taking care of their young kids and their parents,
and they need help. My focus on HBCUs is a
(08:18):
lot of it has to do with the fact that
as an HBC, a proud HBC you graduate, I know
that our HBCUs are centers of academic excellence, but don't
always have the kind of resources that other colleges and
universities have, and they need that kind of support, So
you're right, I mean, or even the work that I've
done on black maternal mortality, which affects not only women
(08:42):
but the men who love them, their husbands, their sons,
their fathers. So these are areas of work for me,
as you said, that have been long standing. Is not
just because I'm running for president. My whole focus on
black men and opportunity around financial opportunity long before I
started running for president. It's a lifelong commitment.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
And also especially in the battleground states. You've been doing
these men huddle up events across the battleground states. Yes,
and this really shows a commitment to address specific needs
of black men.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's right. Well, listen, I know how folks have been overlooked,
and I'm very proud of what we've done over the
last four years to bring down black unemployment to historic loans.
But you know, I also understand and know that it
should be a baseline that everybody's working and has a job.
(09:40):
What people also wants the opportunity to create wealth. People
want the opportunity to be able to go on vacation
from time to time and buy their kids, you know,
the kinds of Christmas gifts that they want.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Okay, hey, let's stop for just one second.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
We got to take a quick break, and we'll be
right back with more of the President of the United States,
which I'll be saying that next week.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Right after this, you're listening.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Morning show.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
We're back in our special guests this morning, as you
very well know, is the current Vice President of the
United States. We're gonna continue our conversation here. We'll pick
up where we left off. You know, you spoke about
uplifting people, and that leads me to this right here,
your opponent, Donald Trump is to me, I've seen it,
(10:30):
and I've been on my radio show preaching it over
and over and over. He has been a complete failure
for Black America. And he's running a racist campaign with
a racist agenda that will give him unprecedented power to
roll back all of our rights and freedoms. It's gonna
hurt the middle class, gonna threaten our democracy. The Trump
(10:53):
Vans Project twenty twenty five agenda will be a complete
disaster for Black America.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
What do you say to that.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Well, you're right, and anybody listening should go and google
Project twenty twenty five. They will eliminate the Department of
Education and head Start. They will make it more difficult
for workers to get over time pay. And that's on
top of what he will do to get rid of Medicare,
(11:25):
Get rid of the ability of Medicare to negotiate drug
prices against the big pharmaceutical company, get rid of look
at project twenty twenty five. It will get rid of
the thirty five dollars a month cap on insulin for
our seniors. Black folks are sixty percent more likely to
be diagnosed with diabetes. But to your point, Steve, it
is this is an election of consequence. And on the
(11:49):
one side, you've got Donald Trump, whose policies are not
about lifting up hard working people. You've got Donald Trump, who,
way back from the beginning of his career when he
was a landlord, refused to rent to black families, who
took out a full page ad in the New York
Times calling for the execution of five young black and
(12:10):
Latino children who were innocent the Central Park. Find somebody
who called the first black president of the United States
to call them out and claimed he was not born
in the United States, birtherism, and then most recently as
it relates to legal black immigrants in Ohio, said they
were eating their pets. This is who he is. And
(12:33):
I think folks know, when you look at his character,
you got to understand. You know, it's one thing for
him to have his name on a building in Vegas,
is a whole other thing to think about him having
the power of the presidency to either lift people up
or push people down and tear people down. And this
is the choice that people have. And Steeve, I would
(12:56):
press this point also, I would ask your listness to
just know that you know, if you are a hard
work in person, if you have aspirations and goals but
you didn't inherit what you got, you got to know
you're not really in Donald Trump's club. Right. He's not
(13:16):
going to sleep at night thinking about how he's going
to take care of your grandmother or grandfather. He's looking
out for people like him. When he was president, he
pushed and accomplished tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations.
And as president again, if he were elected but you
will not be, he would do the same. So I
(13:37):
asked people to look at who do you believe is
actually going to be there fighting for you, and I
think based on character and performance, the choice is clear.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Yeah, for us, you know, the choice is crystal clear.
I've been just pounding it daily daily on the radio show.
When you hear Sloan's like, you know, blacks for Trump,
I've been asking people cause I can't get a person
to call in to show me how Trump is for blacks.
I mean, I'm you can create any slogan you want to,
but let's back it up with something. I just the
(14:09):
facts are all in the the rally at Madison Square Garden. Man.
I was just sitting there, man, just going this. I
watched the whole collage of statements. This is one of
the worst campaigns I've seen. And you are holding up
incredibly strong. You're in the last few days of this campaign.
(14:31):
This is the last week.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It is November fifth.
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Who'sday?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
November fifth?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
What's is looking like for you? Madter? Vice President?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
I intend to win, Steve Harvey, and it's going to
be because people don't let themselves be silent, and they
will get out and vote. And you know, we know
our voices, our vote and our vote is our power.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Hold on one second.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
We'll be right back, everybody with more Steve Harvey Moore
the show right after this.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
You're listening.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
All right, everybody, We're back in our special guest this
morning as Vice President Kamala Harris are soon to be
president of the United States, are let's continue the conversation.
Not a vice president, I got to tell you something.
It has been a pleasure to represent you and to
stand up for you and to be able to stand
(15:27):
up for you based on so many facts. I mean,
just the quality of person you are. The decision is
real clear, and I mean for a lot of us.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I what I am saying as I travel the country
is that people refuse to be silent and then not
gonna fall for the okie. Do people know the difference
between fact and fiction and who's going to actually be
fighting for them? And look, I am non perfect. I
will make mistakes, but I will work around the clubs
(16:00):
on behalf of the people who deserve to be seen
and heard and uplifted. That is the work I have
done in my career. That is the work I will
continue to do. I've only had one client in my
life to people, and that's who I fight for. And
so my agenda really is about an opportunity economy that's
about helping to lift people up, but again also recognizing
(16:24):
the disparities that have existed. And we talked as an
example about home ownership as one point of reference, so
you know, or for example, my work on increasing access
to capital for small businesses is also based on an
understanding and knowledge that only one percent of venture capitalists
investment go to black owned businesses, right, So we have
(16:46):
to recognize where the disparities exist and see how we
can create public policy in a way that takes those
into accounts.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, and I think there's going to be a surprise
next week because they haven't counted on really you know,
they never really poll us anyway, but they haven't counted
on really how bright of a people we are, and
how and and and and and how.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Shrewd we can be. And we proved it in the
last election.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
But we are going to show up at these polls
in numbers that's going to startle them. And I want
you to know that you have a lot of support
that the people aren't talking about. But you got some
people back here. That's that's that's stomping strong for you
on these yards around here. And I also want you
to know this too. We know it's been tough for you,
(17:37):
and the spiritual people have been praying for you because
they they know what you're up against. So I just
wanted to give you that vote of encouragement and tell
you to keep keep up the good fight. You're a
wonderful candidate. God, I couldn't be prouder. And you know
you're Look look the way you handled him in the
first debate. This, this is why there have been no
(17:59):
more debates because that, Please, I've been trying.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
He won't.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
No, they're not gonna do that.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
You you exposed too much because the low i Q statement.
To even say that right there, it's crazy to me
because I was looking at it on TV.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So congratulations, madam, than you.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Harvey, and thank you for the time, and thank you
for your voice and your leadership always and the frinship.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Hey, We're gonna get you through it, all right, all right,
all right for sure?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Thanks and gentlemen, the future President of the United States,
President Kamala Harris, gonna sound good.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Might as well say it.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Now, President right there.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Talking to drop the mic vote President.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
You know, no, I mean, you know, you know, I
wanted her to understand that she has told a lot
of support.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
You know, she said in the beginning, you know, we're
going to win next week. And I just was saying,
you know, if we get out and we do our
job and we go to the polls and we take
people to the polls, you know that we we can
we can win this thing right here. And we talked
about how clear of a choice it was. It wasn't
one of the talking points, but I bought up the
(19:29):
Republican uh, the Trump rally at Madisonsbury Garden. It clearly
showed you who they really are. I was, I was,
I was stunned.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
I was.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
The level.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
And she's the polar opposite of that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
And you know what, I was surprised Doctor Field said
some stuff because I watched this entire interview, because I've
known this guy, you know, We've been out on vacations
and run up in each other, and I like this guy.
And I was surprised at him saying Donald Trump is
here because he's here because Donald Trump is not a bully.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
But what is I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
And his description of what makes a person a bully
was a description of Donald Trump. He was saying that
a person's not a bully if you don't have a
come from a position of power. That's all he uses
is the threat of his power to push people around.
And then he said celebrities shouldn't be endorsed in stuff
(20:42):
because they don't know nothing about policy, and they don't
know nothing about the issues. He said, And why am
I up here? Because I was thinking the exact same thing.
He said, Well, because at least I'm willing to admit
we don't know. No, man, that's not true. Okay, if
celebrities don't know nothing about issues and policy, what does
(21:03):
the common voter know?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We all are talking about our vote.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
And Doctor Field said, you know, I don't agree with
everything anybody says. Nobody agrees with it. Why you uphill man? Yeah,
that's what I kept saying, if you were counterbalancing everything
you say. And then I watched Doctor Phield because I
know him. He was drinking water as soon as he
got out there. He was nervous, he was he had
(21:28):
that bottle of water. You've never seen Doctor Phild take
sip water on his show thirty five year.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
His appearance shocked a lot of people, though, Doctor Phil
I was very shocked.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, it wasn't necessary, Like you're up there if you
don't really agree with if this is not your guy,
like that this is.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You don't agree with everything he says.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
You're up there because he's not a bully, and you
do your description of a bully described him, and then
you said celebrities don't no issues and all policy.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Okay, is insulted. The vice President of the United States
called her names, insulted her all of these things.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's definitely apparently doctor Field has never been bullied before
because he just don't know what it looks.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, I was really that. I was. I was surprised.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
A lot of people were surprised about his appearance there. Anyway,
back on message, Steve, your interview was great with the
vice president. Congratulations out on that. And if we do
our part, she will be our next president for sure.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
She is working so hard, oh so proud.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
For it, and she's she does it so joyously, you know,
with with joy.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I just love her her serving the people.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Yeah six, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Go vote vote vote vote all.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Right, coming up next it is my Strawberry letter. We're
gonna switch gears here. The subject is I'm not sure
whose baby this is. We'll get into it right after this.
