Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. Wow, listen,
last Friday before the election too.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
My closing remarks, this is it. It is simply time
to vote. It is go time. It is no more
messing around. We have an obligation to vote. Do you know, man,
it was unthinkable. I am from a generation it is

(00:29):
unthinkable that my parents wouldn't go vote. My father took
off work, he never missed work. It was unthinkable that
that generation would not vote. They were too close to
just being allowed to vote. That was passed on to me.

(00:51):
I was born in nineteen fifty seven. You understand what
that is, man. Do you know the things I've seen,
the changes I've watched happen. I've watched major inventions, computers,
the internet, laptops, cell phones, color TV, internet, cable. I

(01:17):
watched the birth of a lot of things. Man, I've
seen it. I lived the majority of my life with
no cell phone. I've seen it, man. But what I
have never seen before is some of the attitudes that
I see now when it comes to voting. It was unthinkable.

(01:42):
I'm a sixties kid, man. My childhood was spent in
the sixties. My teenage years was in the seventies. Oh,
I had a blast, man, But I remember a time
when black people got together on stuff. When all of

(02:04):
the radio stations moved WJMO, WABQ up in Cleveland, Curtis Shaw,
we moved as a unit.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Man. We can't get together on nothing no more.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
The black voice was damn near unified back then, and
if you had another voice, it was in your best
interest to keep it to yourself.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Or those times have changed now.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I don't know what it is about as young people
right now, but you have to think that you want
to be so different that your daddy be different. You
want to post that you different, and you want to
make as many different statements as you can so you
can get noticed.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
You know what, man, you need to get your ass
to these polls and vote.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Now. I'm tired of dancing around this subject. And I'm
just talking to you, Rold. It's just Uncle Steve talking.
It's just go time, man, It's time to stop this foolishness.
We have to vote. Our forefathers paid the cost to vote,
just like they forefathers tried to stop us from voting.

(03:14):
And now you got a man who's telling you he
gonna make America great again. But he ain't really telling
you what that means. But I can read through the lines.
I can see between the lines. Project twenty twenty five
is clear. They gonna get rid of Medicaid, they gonna
get rid of school programs. They gonna get rid of
head start programs. You know who kids that is.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
That's your kids, that's your kids. Man.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They gonna roll back the mandatory thirty five dollars insulin program.
They have already decided to kill all affirmative action anything
to do. Doctor Field stood up there and said, this
country shouldn't be built on DEEI but his forefathers ain't
had no problem building it on slaves. But you don't

(04:02):
want diversity, equality and inclusion. But y'all was cool with
slavery man, miss me. It's easy to say that when
it ain't happened to you. It's easy to go in
there and vote for Donald Trump because you're voting for
a man that ain't ever been oppressed or without or

(04:23):
in need. It's easy for them to do that. That
can't be easy for us, because we know what it feels.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like not to have.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Y'all got to go vote, get off TikTok and all
this ridiculous mess right here. Let me give you a
couple of facts. If Kamala Harris ain't black, what is
she did? She don't look black to you. Her dad
is you're making what do you want? Do you understand
what that is?

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Man?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Y'all? Trip it.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Kamala Harris is black. Donald Trump is white privilege. He
came from a privileged background, He had a privileged upbringing.
He been given four hundred million dollars and then declared bankruptcy.
This dude right here, man has had a privileged life

(05:25):
his entire life. He don't know nothing about what you're
talking about. That's why when Puerto Rico was hit by
that whole horrible hurricane, that's why he's over there tossing
paper towels. Here you go, here's some paper towers throwing
paper towels.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
You're talking you no.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Way in your mind that didn't hit you as This
is insensitive because he ain't sensitive. You can't be sensitive
something you've never been.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Ain't. No hurricane ruined his life.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's nothing because he always had the money to fix it.
We got to get to the polls, y'all. It's time
out for this. I don't know how to say it
to you. Get to the polls if you missed the
early voting sacrifice and stand in line.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
But don't let this man become president.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I am telling you I know what they're saying, and
it ain't gonna be pretty mad and you gonna see
we need to go down and vote for Kamala Harris,
period and make it happen because the election is now.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Period.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Y'all have a great day, great weekend.
