Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. We want to say thanks to j Anthony
Brown for stopping by and telling us so yeah, he's
at the city running read this weekend in Atlanta and Temmy.
Before we do get to the closing, you have a
special shout out.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Happy birthday to my baby girl tomorrow she turns twenty
years old, Sydney and my my baby, my baby girl.
Smartest one, Hey, smartest one in the house is Sydney.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Birthday.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Boys, that's what lord, it ain't all right? See hey, y'all,
you know, listen this song. This election is important. You
know I'm hearing so many things. Tommy made a good
point earlier. You know they say that Kamala Harris is
ahead in the polls, but you have to be aware
(00:54):
of the way they work that a lot of times
they throw out these numbers in that they meant to
be so far ahead so they can create complacency within us.
Do you don't understand that they target us constantly when
it comes to voting. Do you see that happening to
any other people? Do you see voter suppression happening to
(01:19):
any other people? They design things specifically to keep us
away from the polls. They close the polling places in
our neighborhoods, they remove mail boxes in our neighborhoods. They
trying to figure out how to counter the absentee balance.
(01:42):
They're trying to find a way to stop all this
early voting. They create as much chaos confusion as they
possibly can to make the voting process difficult for you.
And it's always targeted to us. Do you understand why
that is. I'm gonna tell you why. Because they know
(02:05):
they know that if we use our power as a
voting block, that we will affect the election, just like
we did before. The reason Biden beat Trump before was
because we went to the polls as a voting block.
Let me tell you something. Pennsylvania is a swing state.
(02:28):
You can believe that. Whisconsin is a swing state. Georgia
is a swing state. It's now this used to be
red red red red red. It's now a swing state.
And you know why it's a swing state in Georgia
because of Stacy Abrams. Because of her concerted effort. The
(02:50):
voting machine that Stacy Abrams put into power, put into
all in in intermotion. We benefited from that. I'm not
gonna forget what Stacy Abrams did in Georgia. She is
the reason Georgia turned blue last time. I don't know
if you notice it, but Donald Trump got on the
(03:11):
phone and called the director of the voter Registration whatever
title to do, had to ask him to find eleven
hundred votes so he could overturn that. And do you
know where he where those eleven hundred votes came from.
Came from Full County, came from Cobb County, came from
(03:33):
Gwenett County. You know where we live there. Do you understand, man,
why they constantly try to suppress our vote. If we
had not showed up at the polls, he would have
beat Biden in Georgia. If we hadn't showed up in Philly,
he would have won in Philly. If Detroit hadn't showed up,
(03:53):
would they would have won. If Milwaukee hadn't showed up,
they would have won. I'm telling y'all, we are the
key to this, this whole thing. Stop listening to these
other people who are supposed to be one of us,
telling you why you don't need to vote. As long
as you show up, you can prove that you have power.
(04:15):
I don't understand to sit it out until somebody give
us something. If you set out the vote, do you
understand who becomes president. What do you think he's gonna
do for you? Name me one thing that Trump has
done for blacks. If you are a black for Trump,
I can't tell you nothing he's done for blacks, But
(04:37):
I can tell you something he's done to blacks. Him
and his father was found guilty of keeping black people
out of their properties. And when Kamala Harris brought that
up at the debate, he had no counter for that.
He just let that go. He also had to let
go when she brought up that. He put in a
full page ad to convict these five innocent black young
(05:00):
men for a crime they didn't commit. Five He wanted
the death penalty, he wanted everything. It just looked over
there and said they was black. They did it. It
wasn't no, wasn't no innocent til found guilty. He just no,
they black, they did it. We don't want them black
people in our buildings. I can show you what Donald
Trump has done to blacks. I'm still waiting on you
(05:22):
to show me what Donald Trump has done for blacks.
So if you were blacks for Trump, just show me.
Why stop this foolishness about not going to the poles
all these people, Steve Harvey, you shouldn't be sending black
people to the poles. We don't have no obligation to
go to the polls. I showed. Wish you tell that
to your grandfather who was getting fire hose and German
(05:46):
shepherds and mace trying to vote. I wish you could
tell them when they was lynched for trying to go
to the polls, so they could be a part of
sitting at the table. You got to pull your chair
up to the table. If you want to determine what's
on the menu, you got to be at the table.
We got to vote, y'all. Kamala has for president nine
now now, Steve Trump, chump Trump, jump Trump, you're wrong
(06:06):
for that. You do not know. This man cares nothing
about the common man. He just don't. All right, we
got to vote, y'all. Brothers, we're showing up at the
polls for this woman, period. All right, those are my
closes remarks today. Hey, y'all, do yourself a favorite talk
to God today. He would absolutely love to hear from you.
(06:26):
And it don't matter if you don't talk to him
in a while. He's just waiting. He's on standby. Have
a relationship with him. Hey man, y'all have a great weekend. Okay,
God willing, We'll see y'all Monday morning.
