Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I know you have some inspirational words.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
You know what h start the weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm just I'm just talking to us US. You know
who we are. I'm talking to us now. Look, I'm
not the leader of us. I'm just a voice amongst us.
But I choose to use my voice to take the
more positive approach. I don't know if I can spear

(00:29):
head this movement. I don't know if this movement can happen.
I don't know if it will ever change. I do
know I can do my part. But here is the
message I have for us, for those of us who
are who can and are willing, we have got to

(00:49):
stop destroying one another. We have got to stop making
it our mission to destroy another. We are the number
one leading culture in this department. The only other people

(01:10):
I see who are consistently about the destruction of each
other it's the Democrats and the Republican political Party. Look,
I don't care what Donald Trump do. The Democrats and
see an Inn ain't gonna like it. And I don't
care what Donald Trump do. Fox gonna love it and
support it. I don't care what Joe Biden did. The

(01:31):
Republicans found something wrong with it? Right or wrong. I've
never seen politics this way. It ain't about the people
no more. It's about the party line and the holding
of the party line. There are no more McCain's left

(01:54):
who were. There are no more people left who will
go against party line. I'm just there's a couple of
dudes out there, but it ain't many left. But in
our culture, us, I'm talking to us, we are the leading,
the leading candidates, the reason we are set out to

(02:16):
destroy each other quicker, faster and harder than anybody I've
ever seen. And we are the ones who can least
afford it because we need each other now more than
we've ever needed each other, and we ain't even got
each other. I am so grateful for the few people
that I know who are remaining positive that I can

(02:38):
call up and they give me a word of encouragement. Hey, Steve,
don't worry about that man hanging there. Hey, bro, how
you're holding man? Just check it on you.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I have some people like that who are amongst us.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
But this social media stuff, man, do you understand what
we're doing to one another?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Though? And for what?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
For what?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Man? I keep trying to figure out the resk it
clicks and likes that important.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Have you not discovered anything you can do yourself that
you've decided that I'm going to make my money off
the destruction of other people. The false stories, the fake items,
the clicks, the likes, the clickbait. Man, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Man.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
People spend hours editing stuff to make it look real.
They putting stuff together, making up stories.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Wow. Man, if you took that time to devote to.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
The progression of yourself, you could actually make something out yourself.
But you have decided that my route to the top
is I'm gonna bring down as many people as I can.
I wish I had the solution for this. I wish
I knew the way to get us to see that

(04:08):
we as a people can least afford this. What's wrong
with us? Man?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
What happened to us? How did we get this way?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I'm gonna think about where the turn was made, because
there was a turn.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Man.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
When I was in college in nineteen seventy four and
I went to Kent State. That was nineteen thousand students
at Kent State. Out of the nineteen thousand that was
nine hundred blacks. Only a few hundred black people lived
on campus amongst nineteen thousand, when we walked across the
campus and we looked across the yard anywhere and we

(04:48):
saw your black face, we put a fist in the air.
We spoke to each other. We had an organization called
BUS Black United Students. If we had if any one
black person had a gripe, we all had a gripe.
We defended one another. We partied together, we stayed together.
We had our squabbles and differences, but man, we had

(05:10):
a fix it situation. You couldn't be against this cat
for long, man, because we would come for you. I
remember that, and I remember that when I was young
because I went to college at seventeen, so my young years,
I remember people and men and women like that. So
I'm trying to figure out where to change us because
it wasn't in seventy five, because we were still together,

(05:35):
we were starting to come up with affirmative action and
stuff like that. I don't know what happened, but I
know we had to get back to something. While everybody
else is trying to make America great again, Black people,
we need to think about when we were at our best,
because it ain't now. It show ain't now. So if

(05:57):
there's a young person out there that has an idea
to make blacks better again, get back to black something.
Call Uncle Steve Man. I'll help you if I can.
But brother, we got to do something because we tear
each other down at an alarming rate and it's getting

(06:19):
worse and we need to stop this man. So I'm
gonna commit my platform to talking positive to it, to
us and about us. Don't come on my showte nobody.
Y'all talk to God, to Dad. Absolutely love for.
