Speaker 1: Hey, we got a special guest this morning.
Speaker 2: He is the chair of the Democratic National Committee, and
Speaker 2: he's joining us again as promise.
Speaker 1: He's got valuable, invaluable.
Speaker 2: Information to show on what's at stake for black voters
Speaker 2: in this year's presidential election. He's going to share a
Speaker 2: few facts on how the Biden administration continues to deliver
Speaker 2: for black voters.
Speaker 1: Now listen, y'all.
Speaker 2: The reason I'm having this man on is because he
Speaker 2: made some points last time that was so valuable, and
Speaker 2: I think we're missing the point here because I'm hearing
Speaker 2: too much counter information.
Speaker 1: That's not true.
Speaker 2: And I think this man did about it good a
Speaker 2: job as I've heard of anybody explaining the Biden administration's position.
Speaker 1: So please welcome back to the show, mister Jamie Harrison.
Speaker 3: Good morning, Say hello everybody.
Speaker 2: Good listen, man, let's get to it. You know, I
Speaker 2: think me personally, after talking to you and then researching myself,
Speaker 2: I found that the Biden administration has continually delivered for
Speaker 2: black voter voters, and I wanted to have you back
Speaker 2: on so we could talk about just a few of
Speaker 2: President Biden's accomplishments thus far.
Speaker 3: But well, see just yesterday I don't know if your
Speaker 3: listeners tune in to the president, but he talked a
Speaker 3: little more about student loan forgiveness, and I just want
Speaker 3: to back up and you know, go to that wayback machine.
Speaker 3: You remember when he first became president, he said that
Speaker 3: he wanted to do four hundred billion dollars of student
Speaker 3: loan relief. The Republicans didn't want that. They sued him,
Speaker 3: took them all the way to the Supreme Court. Ance
Speaker 3: Thomas and his right wing buddies in the court said
Speaker 3: that the president didn't have the authority to do it,
Speaker 3: and Joe Biden pulled the usher and he said, watch this.
Speaker 3: And so he has been roll he's been rolling out
Speaker 3: for polvos. So up until yesterday, he had forgiven one
Speaker 3: hundred and forty billion dollars for four four million Americans.
Speaker 3: Yesterday he rolled out a big proposal. And I believe
Speaker 3: that particularly two parts of this proposal are going to
Speaker 3: have a disproportion of impact on black folks, but particularly
Speaker 3: your leaders. The first part of us and if this
Speaker 3: proposal happen, thirty million people will get some form of
Speaker 3: students on debt release. But two parts that I really
Speaker 3: want to highlight. First, borrows who have seen their debt
Speaker 3: grow due to unpaid hinters. How many of us know
Speaker 3: folks who've been paying their student loans for paying the principles,
Speaker 3: but that interest kept accruing and a crewing and crewing,
Speaker 3: and now they have more debt than they had when
Speaker 3: that they actually borrowed. Because the interest is a cruise
Speaker 3: over time, those most are going to see that debt wipeout.
Speaker 3: Twenty five million people eligible under that category, and that
Speaker 3: particularly is relevant to black voters because I know so many,
Speaker 3: so many friends and the cousins who follow in that category.
Speaker 3: And then there's a second category borrows who have been
Speaker 3: repaying their undergraduate loans for twenty years or more. There's
Speaker 3: some of us diligent playing the student loans, but they
Speaker 3: still got them payment and it's been twenty years since
Speaker 3: they graduated or stopped school, but they're still paying. Those
Speaker 3: folks will see their student loans waves. As the President said,
Speaker 3: this is a BFT. This is a big deal for
Speaker 3: a lot of people, and they're gonna put money back
Speaker 3: in their pocket. And folks, this is a contrast. Donald
Speaker 3: Trump didn't want to give you that type of student
Speaker 3: loan relief. What he's talking about his tax cuts or billionaires,
Speaker 3: all the people who were at marl Laga with him
Speaker 3: last weekend, but nothing for you, working people in this country.
Speaker 3: And that is the stark difference between Joe Biden, who
Speaker 3: wakes up every day thinking about working people in this country,
Speaker 3: particularly black folks, and Donald Trump, who don't care anything
Speaker 3: about any of us.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, man, I've been telling people on
Speaker 2: this radio show, because I play golf with these people,
Speaker 2: I'm in business with these people. I get to sit
Speaker 2: in the rooms with wealthy they do not care about you,
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump don't give a damn about you. Donald
Speaker 2: Trump has never been regular. He's never had a regular
Speaker 2: day in his life. He has had a privileged life.
Speaker 2: Privileged people can't even imagine what it is to want
Speaker 2: to make rent this month, to have to make a
Speaker 2: decision between paying a bill and buying some extra stuff
Speaker 2: for the kids or groceries. When you're privileged, you don't
Speaker 2: even know what that is. So he can't relate. So
Speaker 2: when bills come to him and things come to him,
Speaker 2: and he's going to react the way he knows how.
Speaker 2: His whole objective is to fix it for the rich,
Speaker 2: because his claim is the rich provide jobs.
Speaker 1: That's a true statement.
Speaker 2: But if the person that goes to Walmart can no
Speaker 2: longer afford to go to Walmart, what do you think
Speaker 2: happens to this system?
Speaker 3: Yes, it all falls apart. It all falls apartment. And
Speaker 3: that's why Joe Biden keeps saying, you got to build
Speaker 3: this economy from the middle out and the bottom up,
Speaker 3: not from the top down. You've got to get middle
Speaker 3: class people and working people so they have money in
Speaker 3: their pockets. Because they have money in their projets, they're
Speaker 3: gonna spend that money and you continue to see growth
Speaker 3: in the economy because of it. If you just give
Speaker 3: it all to the top, you know, people just hord
Speaker 3: them money. After a while, they ain't gonna spend it.
Speaker 3: And if the working people can't spend, then this economy
Speaker 3: falls apart. And that's what the president knows. Joe Biden
Speaker 3: understands that, and that's why he is trying to make
Speaker 3: sure that working people have more money in their pockets,
Speaker 3: some houses, the health care, the student loans, making sure
Speaker 3: that we provide relief so that they can spend more
Speaker 3: and do more for their kids and their family.
Speaker 2: Yes, man, listen, I want you to stay right here,
Speaker 2: because when we come back, I want to talk about
Speaker 2: this issue right here. I want to focus on a
Speaker 2: woman's right to choose, because you know Donald Trump, I've
Speaker 2: been watching this guy. He's been claiming he's gonna make
Speaker 2: a statement about abortion, about a women's rights, He's gonna
Speaker 2: make a statement real soon. And then I watched and
Speaker 2: his statement came out and all he did. All he
Speaker 2: did was say it's a state's choice. It should be
Speaker 2: long to the state, because he knows what he's done
Speaker 2: with these three Supreme Court justice appointments, how it's affected
Speaker 2: the Roe versus Wade and the and the Republicans know
Speaker 2: that this is a touchy subject for them. So we're
Speaker 2: gonna get into it when we come back. We're gonna
Speaker 2: focus on a woman's right to choose. When we come back,
Speaker 2: we'll be right back with more right after this.
Speaker 3: Show.
Speaker 1: We're back, everybody.
Speaker 2: Our special guest is the chair of the Democratic National Committee,
Speaker 2: mister Jamie Harrison, All, whom I've invited back on the
Speaker 2: show because he has done has good a job of
Speaker 2: I've seen off anybody explaining the Biden administration advantage for
Speaker 2: all of.
Speaker 1: Us voters of color.
Speaker 2: And now I want to talk about this, let's focus
Speaker 2: on a woman's right to choose.
Speaker 1: That's a great place to start.
Speaker 2: How can our listeners be more understanding of this issue
Speaker 2: when it comes to the difference between Biden and Trump.
Speaker 3: Well, folks, sure understand that the law of land was
Speaker 3: the road decisions for fifty years in this country. Women
Speaker 3: had complete autonomy and control over their bodies, the freedom
Speaker 3: to do in terms of their bodies. Donald Trump appointed
Speaker 3: three of the most right wing zealous on the Supreme Court,
Speaker 3: and many of them you all remember in the testimony
Speaker 3: said when asked about role, they said, you know, it
Speaker 3: is dark decisives, which means that it is already settled law.
Speaker 3: We won't touch it. It is the law of land.
Speaker 3: And by then they went through the Supreme Court. They
Speaker 3: lied in those hears and went to the Supreme Court
Speaker 3: and they overturned rope. For the first time in my life,
Speaker 3: we have less freedoms in this country than we've had.
Speaker 3: And that is because these right wings that was appointed
Speaker 3: by Donald Trump, who he claimed and he he's launing
Speaker 3: the fact that it was his justices that overturn roles,
Speaker 3: ripping women freedom away from them. So we got to
Speaker 3: understand that and now what we are seeing in these
Speaker 3: individual states. We just saw in Florida that is a
Speaker 3: six week band. Most women won't even know that they're
Speaker 3: pregnant yet that there's a sixth week band. In terms
Speaker 3: of abortion, we're seeing some of the most draconian things.
Speaker 3: We just saw this video in Texas where people are
Speaker 3: basically saying if a woman could miss gets an abortion,
Speaker 3: then she should be tried for murder and the doctor
Speaker 3: should as well. So, folks, I want you to understand
Speaker 3: what the Pandora bok that Donald Trump has opened up
Speaker 3: and what this means for women in this country and
Speaker 3: understanding it's a slippery slow. When you take away somebody freedom,
Speaker 3: it is very easy to then go look at other
Speaker 3: freedoms that they have and take that away as well.
Speaker 3: And so we got to do everything that we can
Speaker 3: to make sure that we reinstate role as the law
Speaker 3: of the land. And that's what Joe Biden and Kamala
Speaker 3: Harris are committed to doing. Don't let Trump. He's gonna
Speaker 3: say all kinds of things because he just wants to
Speaker 3: get back in the White House, and he'll he'll he'll
Speaker 3: try to say, well, I don't believe in a national
Speaker 3: abortion man. Donald Trump has flip flock on the issue abortions.
Speaker 3: They are more flip flocks. Donald Trump has flip flocks.
Speaker 3: You find in Myrtle Beach doing the sock. This man
Speaker 3: is on all sides of this issue. But we got
Speaker 3: to make sure that we understand that they're in the
Speaker 3: situation because of Donald Trump. So don't think he's gonna
Speaker 3: make it better. He's only gonna make it worse. And
Speaker 3: we've got to stand up and protect women's right to
Speaker 3: control their own body. You should you should not have
Speaker 3: Donald Trump or Lindsey Graham or anybody end up in
Speaker 3: the medical room with you to make a decision about
Speaker 3: how you control your own body.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I think that's that puts it on the head.
Speaker 2: Jamie Man, thank you so much. Brother, Get out to vote.
Speaker 2: Let's make a difference. We'll be right back with more
Speaker 2: to Steve har Morning Show right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.
