Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, here we are, guys, our last break of
the day. It's been a good Tuesday. We're moving right along,
and of course here's Steve Harvey with the closing remarks. Well,
you know, I've been thinking about this. I spoke yesterday
about America being called racist country, and I just questioned

(00:26):
some things. You know, if it's not racist, just can
you explain a few things to me yesterday? Well, I've
been watching and I watched Rick Santorum on CNN try
to explain away his comments that America they didn't still America.
America was nothing and they built it from scratch. It

(00:50):
is amazing how the narrative gets fixed to continue to
just make this thing called America appears so great to everybody.
And Okay, I guess, I guess I want to say
today it's not that we don't see the opportunity here

(01:12):
in America. It's not that we don't have a shot
at the opportunities in America. It's just that's for many
of us, it's not only so hard to see, but
it's really really difficult to get to, you know, because

(01:36):
it's so many things that are in the way, you know,
the lies that's been told, it's just unbelievable. I don't
know if you pay attention to it. Let's start with
the latest lie that the election was stolen. Let's start

(01:57):
with this lie right here. Are you really serious, man,
Do you think there's no evidence with all of the
technology that's out there, all of the social media, all
of the forensic science, all of the computers, all the cameras,

(02:19):
all of the Republicans that work in voting, it's just
as many as Democrats, if not more, that work in voting,
that they can't find one shred of evidence of any
widespread voter fraud that would affect the election. Even when

(02:42):
you have a recount, there ain't been a recount that
has reversed a single anything. You set up a lie, lie, lie,
that this election was stolen. But ain't not no court
in your country, the one you fixed up with your constitution.
There's not no court in your land that would even

(03:04):
take up your lie. This your country, Remember this your
judicial system that you parade as so just that we
don't see that way. But then when it works against you,
oh my god, these judges are crazy. Now there's a
couple of things that still kind of tax at me

(03:26):
a little bit. Not only do you lie to us,
I just just a refusal to include us in the constitution.
I mean, we've been trying to get this piece of
paper right for a long time that every American has
an inailable right to the pursuit of happiness. But we
had to change a few things. You do remember this
piece of paper has had some flaws in it. You

(03:48):
do remember that you thought of the Negro as three
fifths of a human being. You do remember that even
women couldn't vote. It just wasn't a constitutional thing. So
this paper has had to be adjusted over the years.
And the people that wrote the papers white men. They
even had white women put in a certain place, and

(04:12):
it's still there. Do you know that there's golf courses
that don't let women play on them? Not only women,
But you better not to bring your black ass down
there talking about you fitting to play. Do you know
it's golf course is still today that black people can't

(04:32):
set foot on them. Do you know that this is
twenty twenty one. It's a rule. There are golf courses
that do not allow Jews on it. It's a rule,
this is twenty twenty one. I'm just asking you, do

(04:54):
you know that we have to vote every year on
the Voting Rights Act. Not every year, but every so
often the Voting the Act up that allows black people
to steal vote. They're still working through that right there.
This is crazy, man. Black people my age are exhausted.
If you're from the baby boomer generation, we are exhausted.

(05:18):
If you are fifty, we are exhausted. I got news
for you to exhaustion and spread to the younger generation too.
They tied to. But like I said, this summer protest
is a young person's sport. I can't go out there
with no signs no more. I've done a lot of

(05:38):
protesting in my life. But I can't run back which
no more, and die behind bushes and climb over police
cars and try to escape. I can't do that. It's
just a young pert. All we trying to do is
get you to treat us equal, not special, just equal. Damn.
Even when we ask for it, we plead for it,
and we march more, and then we have to watch

(05:59):
you come up with a counter ask, a counter plea,
and a counter march. What the hell is that about
Black lives matter? White lives matter? Too? Well? Damn, we
didn't say it, don't. We just asked you can as
matter like yours matter. Sitting up here every time we
gotta ask or plea or march, we gotta watch. You
have a damn counter like you ain't got enough. Were

(06:20):
tired of this? We're just tired of it, man, That's
all I wanted to say. Y'all got the nerve to
be say, y'all tired of watching us march? You tired
of watching us march? Put these boots on and walk
your ass out there. You think you tired of watching it,
were tired of performing it. Were just waiting on some
of y'all to be tied for us too. For all
