Speaker 1: don't you join Yeah, well, hobby, join me into being me?
Speaker 1: Honey said you turn Yeah, you gotta turn the turnow turn?
Speaker 1: Do you love me? Got to turn out to turn
Speaker 1: the water water go? Comey, come on your back at
Speaker 1: uh huh, I shall well a good morning everybody. You're
Speaker 1: listening to the voice? Come on dig me now, one
Speaker 1: and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, Yeah man
Speaker 1: got one. Hey. You know, um, I thought I think
Speaker 1: of my life in terms of blessings. You know. I
Speaker 1: take mostly a positive approach and a positive spin to
Speaker 1: my life. I hardly ever dweil on. Uh. You know
Speaker 1: the what's well. I can't say that I don't think
Speaker 1: about the what's wrong in it because I have to,
Speaker 1: because I have to address problems as they arise. But
Speaker 1: I try not to let them consume me. I let
Speaker 1: the consumption part be about the blessings, the positive things,
Speaker 1: that has occurred in my life, the good things that
Speaker 1: God has done for me, the power that He's displayed
Speaker 1: in my life, the protection he's given me over the years,
Speaker 1: to being tucked under his wings. I focus on the
Speaker 1: things that He promises me. I think of all all
Speaker 1: the goodness that I perceived to come my way, and
Speaker 1: I think that has a lot to do with me
Speaker 1: learning more and more about the law of attraction in
Speaker 1: terms of you know, what you think and what you
Speaker 1: put out in the space, and what you pray about
Speaker 1: is what you receive, you know, And so I've become
Speaker 1: better and better at that. That's not to say that
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not human and I don't have moments where
Speaker 1: I think a little bit too long about what's going
Speaker 1: wrong and what enemy is is about to attack and
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do and saying and all of this
Speaker 1: is his. That's not to con say that I'm not
Speaker 1: concerned about it. But I try to duel mostly on
Speaker 1: the positive. And one of the things that I learned,
Speaker 1: you can have an incredible life, all of you, all
Speaker 1: of us, We can have incredible lives if we just
Speaker 1: let God drive See the problem that I had years ago,
Speaker 1: was I was the driver of my life, and I
Speaker 1: was taking myself in the directions that I thought would
Speaker 1: be best for me. And I aimed at things that
Speaker 1: I thought I could accomplish, and I set goals that
Speaker 1: I saw myself being able to attain. I was driving.
Speaker 1: When I gave up and I let God drive. I
Speaker 1: then opened up my mind and my spirit to what
Speaker 1: God had for me, for what God could see for me,
Speaker 1: for what God could do in my life, well, for
Speaker 1: what God wanted for me. Now he wanted for me
Speaker 1: and he wanted of me. See, that's the connection that
Speaker 1: you got to try to make. Well, not try, that's
Speaker 1: the connection that you gotta make to really get it. Now,
Speaker 1: Listen to me. What I don't want you to do
Speaker 1: is do like me. Don't be afraid of the what
Speaker 1: for of the what he wants you to do part see,
Speaker 1: because that ain't gonna be nearly as the manding and
Speaker 1: and as offsetting as you think it's gonna be. See.
Speaker 1: I thought that if I did God's will, that if
Speaker 1: I let God tell me what to do, that it
Speaker 1: would cause me to not to be able to do
Speaker 1: a certain some things I wanted to do well, which
Speaker 1: is true. But the stuff I wanted to do was
Speaker 1: all detrimental to my well being and my future and
Speaker 1: my and my growth and development as a man. I
Speaker 1: was stopping my own growth as a man, because see,
Speaker 1: I was doing what I thought I should do as
Speaker 1: a man. But when you give it over to God,
Speaker 1: to God has a much better plan for you than
Speaker 1: you can ever have for yourself. And God knows a
Speaker 1: better way, far better than the one you know. I
Speaker 1: want you to believe that. Man, you gotta understand that
Speaker 1: part of it. And and that's the part that I
Speaker 1: finally got through my head to let God do it
Speaker 1: his way and to show me a better way, and
Speaker 1: to teach me a better way and exposed to me
Speaker 1: a better way. And when I opened up my mind
Speaker 1: to what God was talking about, I began to see
Speaker 1: things totally different of me. And things started coming to
Speaker 1: me totally differently. If you've been a friend of mine
Speaker 1: or a fan of mine over the years, I mean,
Speaker 1: you've had to see it, the change. You've had to
Speaker 1: see the difference, I mean, and I and I acknowledge
Speaker 1: that every chance I get, because I promised God I would,
Speaker 1: and I hope that I'm not falling short in that category.
Speaker 1: But then again, if I told it all day long,
Speaker 1: would he done for me? I still wouldn't have enough
Speaker 1: time to really explain thoroughly what he's done for me,
Speaker 1: because it's such a continuous growth in me. But now
Speaker 1: that's not to say that I'm finished or I'm done
Speaker 1: or I'm complete, because I'm still short. And that's the
Speaker 1: cold thing about it. Man. See, no matter how good
Speaker 1: you get at it, you ain't gonna ever be the
Speaker 1: best you can be. You just not because you're gonna
Speaker 1: fall short. You can't be him. You can strive for perfection.
Speaker 1: I hear people saying it all the time. I applaud
Speaker 1: you for saying you want to be perfect, but you
Speaker 1: ain't and you can't and you're not and you aren't
Speaker 1: and you won't and you will not. And so you
Speaker 1: quit saying it. You could saying it to me, quit
Speaker 1: saying it to other people. I'm seeking a life of perfection,
Speaker 1: but it's something that you cannot have because he said
Speaker 1: you can't do it. But that's what he'd have for
Speaker 1: he'd have for the moments when you stumble and you fall,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna stumble and fall, So you gotta get
Speaker 1: that part right man to stumbling falling part is coming.
Speaker 1: But see, you get God in your life and it
Speaker 1: helps you so that you don't stumble, fall, wallow roll over,
Speaker 1: laid their languish. That's what God is for. So when
Speaker 1: you stumbling fall, you get back up because you're going
Speaker 1: to make mistakes. You're going to get it wrong. You're
Speaker 1: going to come under attack, You're going to be lied about,
Speaker 1: you are going to be falsely accused. That's going to
Speaker 1: happen to you the moment you make a decision to
Speaker 1: do better, the moment you try to be more, the
Speaker 1: moment you try to get it right. The devil got
Speaker 1: to send his attackers man, and he controls certain people.
Speaker 1: He just got people as on his side. Seven. You
Speaker 1: know him too. You you've all met one or two
Speaker 1: of me in your life. They're just busy with the
Speaker 1: business of nothingness. They're just busy about to do about
Speaker 1: the destruction of others. You said, I know him, you
Speaker 1: know him. They're coming. But here's what you gotta hold
Speaker 1: fast too. They can't take away nothing from you that
Speaker 1: God gave you. They didn't make you. See people who
Speaker 1: claim to have made you, if they're so in to
Speaker 1: make you business, Why don't they make theirselves? Or if
Speaker 1: they ain't with you no more and they're so busy
Speaker 1: in them, I made you business, why don't they make
Speaker 1: somebody else? Since, just since you want to get credit
Speaker 1: from making somebody make yourself, if you're responsible for someone
Speaker 1: else's success, then you should easily be able to take
Speaker 1: claim and be risk posible for your own success. See,
Speaker 1: be careful of that. And don't and and don't don't
Speaker 1: change your course because somebody is attacking you with that.
Speaker 1: You keep doing what you're doing. I just hope, man,
Speaker 1: that I'm giving it to God the way I said
Speaker 1: I would give it to him, that I would unload
Speaker 1: every chance I got that I was supposed to without
Speaker 1: being you know, or here he come again? You know.
Speaker 1: I try not to be that, but man, I don't
Speaker 1: know what else to be for the first twelve minutes
Speaker 1: of my show. What else you want me to say?
Speaker 1: I got four hours. I can't give God twelve twelve minutes, man,
Speaker 1: I mean for real, Steve, come on, man, I mean,
Speaker 1: let's look at this right here. It's like, for example,
Speaker 1: it's like detox in your body, which is one of
Speaker 1: the most healthy things you can do for your body
Speaker 1: is to detox your system and clean out the pipes
Speaker 1: and the liver and the blood and get it all together,
Speaker 1: give your kidneys a break in all like this, okay, right, okay,
Speaker 1: But to detox it properly, it takes twenty one days, right.
Speaker 1: And I hear a lot of people telling my twenty
Speaker 1: one days I ain't got. But see, hold up, man,
Speaker 1: if the twenty one days out of three hundred sixty
Speaker 1: days a year, you ain't got twenty one to straighten
Speaker 1: yourself out, You ain't got twenty one days to give
Speaker 1: yourself a better shot at help. I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: crazy to me, once you wrap your mind around it. See,
Speaker 1: And so like if you're giving honor to God just
Speaker 1: twelve minutes out the day, dog, he gave you twenty
Speaker 1: four hours of luxury in life and breath and hope
Speaker 1: and promise that you ain't got twelve minutes to give
Speaker 1: him out the day. That don't make no sense. What
Speaker 1: in exchange? What a wonderful life God has given me
Speaker 1: in exchange for so small of effort that I put forth.
Speaker 1: Don't let the effort you gotta put forth to God
Speaker 1: seems so dawning that you don't attempt to do it, because, man,
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot. It ain't nothing compared to
Speaker 1: what he'd be given us for real. So if you
Speaker 1: want a real life, you want a real shot at
Speaker 1: what you can be, what you can have, what you
Speaker 1: can own, what you can become who you really are.
Speaker 1: Go to God. Let him fix you. Man. That's all show.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
Speaker 1: On the biggest day of two thousand and eighteen. It
Speaker 1: is voting day. It's moving time. We need everybody. We've
Speaker 1: got to make this happen. Let's get at it. Let's
Speaker 1: get started. Shirley Strawberry calling for real Junior, Tom and Tom.
Speaker 1: We voted already, I mean to day. Yeah, Yes, got
Speaker 1: to vote on the day, baby, Make every vote count today.
Speaker 1: Very very important election, very important. I hope you realize
Speaker 1: how important this election is, not just for us, for you,
Speaker 1: for your you know, for your community, for you, yes,
Speaker 1: for your Grandmama's important. Yeah, especially for people who think
Speaker 1: that their vote does not count. Your vote counts. That's
Speaker 1: what they want you to think, so you can stay
Speaker 1: at home and not participate in the process. Please don't
Speaker 1: listen to the hype. Your vote counts, your vote is
Speaker 1: your voice. Please. You know, my husband was at work
Speaker 1: and he was talking to a younger guy working there
Speaker 1: and he said, well, I'm not gonna vote because my
Speaker 1: vote don't count. My husband turn around and said, you
Speaker 1: do realize they had them up right, You do realize
Speaker 1: that if you vote, they get to say your number
Speaker 1: right the man? I mean, man, we we we We
Speaker 1: can't use excuses, and I don't want our listeners to
Speaker 1: be complacents. We have some great listeners, but you know, man,
Speaker 1: we've got to be and encourage somebody else to vote,
Speaker 1: make them understand the importance. I know, the complacency that
Speaker 1: normally happens doing mid terms. They don't get excited like
Speaker 1: they do for president, especially in two thousand and eight
Speaker 1: and two thousand twelve because Obama was running. I got it.
Speaker 1: But Obama has been out here pushing and pushing and
Speaker 1: pushing to get you to understand the importance of this.
Speaker 1: We have the other side a bit nervous, and you
Speaker 1: need them to be concerned because you've got to have
Speaker 1: a balance. Man. You can't have a White House, a
Speaker 1: House and a Senate that represents the minority. Of the country,
Speaker 1: because what does the majority do, it's the minority. I
Speaker 1: was watching the Trump rally on TV. I don't know,
Speaker 1: did you see that they got the black dude back again, dog,
Speaker 1: the black dude again with the glasses on top of
Speaker 1: his head, the one that said blacks for Trump. But
Speaker 1: he's he's back there again in the same spot called
Speaker 1: the rolls down Law. And I don't know where they
Speaker 1: found these Native Americans with the authentic native head dress on.
Speaker 1: Really they found three Native Americans. If they were Native
Speaker 1: Americans with formal head dress on, you know, the feathers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, but man, if it is that that that
Speaker 1: that's gonna be the worst thing you could have done.
Speaker 1: But I don't know where they found these three Native Americans.
Speaker 1: So that's voting for Trump. We'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: more about the election. We'll be back at thirty two
Speaker 1: after right after this you're listening to show. Alright, guys,
Speaker 1: today is it? We've been talking about it already. Seems
Speaker 1: like we've been talking about this forever. I certainly hope
Speaker 1: Steve that all of our talking pays off at the poll.
Speaker 1: I think it will. I think it will because I
Speaker 1: think that uh, there was a poll on CNN that
Speaker 1: said they posed seven out of ten people are voting
Speaker 1: to send a message to the White House. Uh and
Speaker 1: uh Donald Trump, man, when he could a vote for
Speaker 1: this is a vote for me. Yeah right, yeah, he's
Speaker 1: making this about him. Everything is about man. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: this guy right here, he wants everything to be about
Speaker 1: him everything, and he wants to be like, well, that's
Speaker 1: not he really wants to be like, no, tell me
Speaker 1: he is. Though he's liked, oh he has. There some
Speaker 1: people who clapped for him, who think every word out
Speaker 1: of his mouth is just the greatest thing that's happening.
Speaker 1: It's kind of disturbing to see because it's actually when
Speaker 1: he says something that's just you can't possibly think it's okay.
Speaker 1: These killings have slowed our momentum. Not that we should
Speaker 1: be to have our momentum slow bodies crazies that have
Speaker 1: committed these murders this week, but it did slow our momentum.
Speaker 1: You just go, what did you just say? You know, man,
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was grieving when you said that. You know, I
Speaker 1: do stuff, I do stupid stuff. But he not even trying.
Speaker 1: M I don't think everything. Nobody think nobody okay, but
Speaker 1: you know the thing about don't you're you're you're you
Speaker 1: you are a certain way, but you're not You're not
Speaker 1: a bad guy, thank you. You know you're not a heart.

Speaker 1: stupidity is confined, thank you. Does he have a mean streak? Good? Thanks? No, no, no,
Speaker 1: but no he's not mean though, No, he's not mean
Speaker 1: his core. No, no, good heart. He's human and he
Speaker 1: gets mad, but this is way human? Does he get stop? Yeah?
Speaker 1: About to get mad? Yeah? Really really when you're here
Speaker 1: really twice, it's time to start. Last time you shut
Speaker 1: it down to see you said straight up, Steve. Hey, hey, y'all,
Speaker 1: don't see this coming here. Sometimes we're just here for it.
Speaker 1: But you were not here for it that near. Plus
Speaker 1: the subject matter, that's why I said, boy, y'all, don't
Speaker 1: he's nothing to play about this because we all know
Speaker 1: how to push each other's buttons. And that's what's wrong.
Speaker 1: We're going together so long. Everybody know everybody but easy man,
Speaker 1: who do you think is the biggest button? Push you?
Speaker 1: On the show, Shirley Strawberry had hands down, and we'll
Speaker 1: throw somebody else can push it. You look like she

Speaker 1: she can do it if you get out and vote,
Speaker 1: do your part. But right now, in today's entertainment News,
Speaker 1: Steve Rihanna says she does not want her music being
Speaker 1: played at Trump rallies anymore. The presidential playlist wasn't even
Speaker 1: on rerease radar until she got a tweet from Washington
Speaker 1: Post reporter Philip Rucker, who wrote, it's been it's been
Speaker 1: said a million times, but here's a million in one.
Speaker 1: Trump's rallies are unlike anything else in politics. Currently, Rihanna's
Speaker 1: don't stop the music is blaring in Chattanooga, as aids
Speaker 1: toss free Trump T shirts into the crowd like a
Speaker 1: ball game. Everyone's loving it, she responded. Rihanna responded, not
Speaker 1: for much longer. Okay, me, me or my people would
Speaker 1: ever be at or around one of these tragic rallies.
Speaker 1: So thanks for the heads up, Philip. Remember last month,
Speaker 1: Farrell was upset we talked about that on this show. Uh,
Speaker 1: he did not want his song Happy being played. He
Speaker 1: was upset when he heard the song Happy it was
Speaker 1: being played at Trump rallies. Happy. Yeah, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's DJ and Duranty. But that's what we need to
Speaker 1: find out. Who's DJ and durand who's playing this music?
Speaker 1: But don't worry, he'll get a short and desist and
Speaker 1: hello gold digger, what is he gonna play? And saying digger?
Speaker 1: All right? Another entertainment news, Wesley Snipes is in trouble
Speaker 1: again with the I R S. He can't be you know,
Speaker 1: you can't be. I don't think he ever got out
Speaker 1: of the last ones. What do you do? You go
Speaker 1: to jail, dog, but when you get out you still
Speaker 1: oh don't you you don't just okay, but you got
Speaker 1: to pay. Don't If you're going to jail for some
Speaker 1: go go here. But you gotta you gotta work. I mean,
Speaker 1: what would you say? And since he's been I wish
Speaker 1: his TV show had made it because I really liked
Speaker 1: his TV show. It was really good. Yeah, alright, what
Speaker 1: are you? Just can't come on? Okay? All right, listen
Speaker 1: they want him to pay. Twenty three point five million
Speaker 1: dollars he claims. Wesley claims he's only got eight hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars basically. Uh. Wesley, who served three
Speaker 1: years in jail after being convicted of three misdemeanor counts
Speaker 1: of failing to file tax returns, wanted to settle his
Speaker 1: case and have the lean taken off his house. The
Speaker 1: i r S lowered his original bill from twenty three
Speaker 1: point five dollars to seventeen point five million, and they
Speaker 1: rejected his off For now, he's filed a petition to
Speaker 1: overturn that decision. You know what, I think he's fighting it.
Speaker 1: I think you know, here's a deal. You know, if
Speaker 1: you are, I think the i's a bit unfair if
Speaker 1: you haven't filed and you owe the money and then
Speaker 1: you go you you've been out of work three years
Speaker 1: because you've been in prison. You can't make it. So
Speaker 1: where is he gonna get it from? You know? I
Speaker 1: mean and then three years in jail. I mean, you
Speaker 1: got your twenty three Come on, man, that's that's being
Speaker 1: a little bit much. It's a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of money. Better get busy to the movies, passenger, And
Speaker 1: you can't just go make movies. Yeah, you gotta have
Speaker 1: the backing. You gotta have what you gotta be a
Speaker 1: box office draw you do. Yeah, don't body or nothing.
Speaker 1: All right, Steve, It's time for today, miss and Trip.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much everybody, and let's get this on.
Speaker 1: This is election day, and everything is important, and all
Speaker 1: of you are important. Okay, your vote matters, voting taking
Speaker 1: part in Voters taking part in today's midterm elections could
Speaker 1: change the balance of power on Capitol Hill up for
Speaker 1: grabs today. All four thirty five seats in the House
Speaker 1: of Representatives thirty five seats in the US Senate. Democrats
Speaker 1: need at least twenty three wins in the House to
Speaker 1: rest power from the Republicans. In addition, they are almost
Speaker 1: forty group mentorial races to be decided, as well as
Speaker 1: the makeup of state legislatures. Today's battling seen as a
Speaker 1: referendum on the Republican Party's control of Congress, and of course,
Speaker 1: on President Trump's popularity. The president campaign for GOP candidates
Speaker 1: in three states yesterday, Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri. Trump has
Speaker 1: socystem thirty political rallies since Labor Day. He says he's
Speaker 1: feeling positive about the Republicans hold on the Congress. I
Speaker 1: think we're doing well. I think the Senate we're doing
Speaker 1: very well. And I think we're gonna do very well
Speaker 1: in the House. Meanwhile, Trump says that he seems to
Speaker 1: be hedging his bets, as he often does. He's warning
Speaker 1: everybody on Twitter now that illegal voting will be prosecuted,
Speaker 1: strongly prosecuted, were his words. The president falsely claimed. You
Speaker 1: may remember after the twenty sixteen elections that millions of
Speaker 1: votes were illegally cast, because he lost the popular vote
Speaker 1: in the presidential election by some three million. Meanwhile, former
Speaker 1: President Obama has also been campaigning, but for the Democrats,
Speaker 1: of course, because he said this one's important. Healthcare is
Speaker 1: on the ballot. You vote, you might save a life.
Speaker 1: That's pretty rare where that happens. Making sure work and
Speaker 1: families get a fair shot. That's on the ballot. But
Speaker 1: most importantly, the character of this country is on the
Speaker 1: ballt Who we are is on the ballot. And Mr
Speaker 1: Obama campaigned in Gary, Indiana over the weekend and in Fairfax,
Speaker 1: Virginia yesterday. By the way, he reminded people of something
Speaker 1: people on the other side of the island not telling anybody. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: thousands of fake Democrats have disappeared from the Internet. Now
Speaker 1: the Twitter deleted a bunch of faker bots set up
Speaker 1: to discourage voting from sympathizers of the Democrats. The social
Speaker 1: media site says it recently dumped more than ten thousand
Speaker 1: automated accounts posing as Democrats that were trying to discourage
Speaker 1: Democratic men from voting, claiming something silly like that would
Speaker 1: supposedly drown out the voices of the women in the parts.
Speaker 1: I'm stupid like that. And according to an Atlanta TV station,
Speaker 1: a white supremacist group has released a racist and sexist
Speaker 1: and anti semitical robot called Georgia Voters, with a man
Speaker 1: pretending to be Oprah Winfrey targeting black female guvnatorial candidate
Speaker 1: Stacy Abras, despite the fact that the real Oprah actually
Speaker 1: campaigned for Misabrams last week. Finally, today is National Basketball Day,
Speaker 1: but we're not playing. Okay, this is election day, We're
Speaker 1: not playing today. Gugnatorial candidate Stacy Abras is our special guest.
Speaker 1: At twenty minutes after the hour on the Steve Harvey
Speaker 1: Morning Show. You're listening to Morning Show. Hey, everybody joining
Speaker 1: us now, we promised you was gonna be a morning
Speaker 1: of of just some great interviews. Today we have the
Speaker 1: Democratic gubatorial candidate in the state of Georgia. She will
Speaker 1: be the first African American female governor in Georgia and
Speaker 1: as the next governor of Georgia, She's committed to expanding Medicaid,
Speaker 1: improving public schools, creating good paying jobs across the state.
Speaker 1: She's uniquely equipped to create a Georgia where everyone has
Speaker 1: the freedom and opportunity to thrive. This is one of
Speaker 1: the tightest governors races in the nation. And your vote
Speaker 1: today and we are harping on this and have been
Speaker 1: for the past six weeks. Your vote to date matters.
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the show for the first time, Miss
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams. Well, Miss Abrams, how are you? I am good?
Speaker 1: And we are twelve hours away from victory. This is
Speaker 1: this is huge and I'm just so honored to be
Speaker 1: in the position to to help make history in America.
Speaker 1: This has been a tough race. How would you describe
Speaker 1: this campaign and what do you think you've tried to convey?
Speaker 1: I think that this has been a very tough campaign
Speaker 1: and spirited, But what I've tried to do from the
Speaker 1: very beginning is standing my values. I was raised by
Speaker 1: my parents, believe in faith and family and service, and
Speaker 1: that we have responsibility to do with right. And so
Speaker 1: if you look at my campaign from the beginning until
Speaker 1: the very end, we have run on the same three issues, education,
Speaker 1: health care, and jobs, because I know if you have
Speaker 1: access to those three things, your life can be better
Speaker 1: in Georgian across the country. Yeah, hey, now, let me
Speaker 1: talk to you about health care for one second, because
Speaker 1: we're getting some conflicting information. Because all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I've noticed that your opponent and other opponents in the
Speaker 1: other party are saying that they don't want to do
Speaker 1: away with pre existing conditions, But what they're actually doing
Speaker 1: is actually that very same thing. I think the word
Speaker 1: you're looking for is their hypocrites, um And and that's
Speaker 1: part of the challenge of this election that they have
Speaker 1: counted on, especially in mid terms. They've counted on people
Speaker 1: not paying attention. And what has happened is that they
Speaker 1: worked hard to dismantle to Affordable Care Act, to block
Speaker 1: access to Medicaid expansion. They've voted multiple times to end
Speaker 1: protections for pre existing conditions, and they're hoping that the
Speaker 1: short term memories and long term memories of voters won't
Speaker 1: recall what they've done. Part of the responsibility that I've
Speaker 1: had that candidates across the country have has is to
Speaker 1: remind people of who they are. That these are not
Speaker 1: people you can trust with your health care, with your jobs,
Speaker 1: or with your education, because they are not going to
Speaker 1: tell us the truth. Yeah, what's been miss Abrams. The
Speaker 1: thing that you've wanted to stress the most in your campaign,
Speaker 1: if you could pull out one or two points, what
Speaker 1: what what? What you're stressing? I talked about Medicaid expansion
Speaker 1: because it is the corrux in the state, like Georgia,
Speaker 1: of so many other opportunities. We have half a million
Speaker 1: Georgians who are denied access to healthcare. That means, if
Speaker 1: you have a stroke in certain party in the state
Speaker 1: of Georgia, you can die before you see a doctor.
Speaker 1: But it's also about the economics. It's about making sure
Speaker 1: that we can create thousands of jobs across Georgia. And
Speaker 1: then most personally to me, it's about criminal justice reform.
Speaker 1: And people don't think about Medicaid expansion and criminal justice
Speaker 1: in the same breath, but in the Deep South. The
Speaker 1: number one provider of mental health here is not our hospitals,
Speaker 1: it's our prison system. And we have a lot of
Speaker 1: folks are going to jail because they haven't gotten the
Speaker 1: help they need for bipolar disorder, for for schizophrenia, for
Speaker 1: a range of mental health challenges. We're gonna take a
Speaker 1: short break. We have the next governor of Georgia. If
Speaker 1: we do our job today, the next governor of Georgia,
Speaker 1: Miss Stacey Abril. Stay right there. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: with more with the future governor of Georgia. You're listening
Speaker 1: to Morning show. We're back and we're talking with Miss
Speaker 1: Stacey Abril, who's a running for governor today. We got
Speaker 1: to get out to the post. Let me get back
Speaker 1: to this. Do you think that people out here really
Speaker 1: understand that what your opponent is against, as well as
Speaker 1: so many other Republicans there against things that they call
Speaker 1: set aside and uh Medicaid fits into that category as
Speaker 1: a set aside. For them, Medicaid is about covering a gap.
Speaker 1: What people have to remember is that the way we
Speaker 1: get healthcare and in America is through insurance. You get
Speaker 1: private insurance to your employer if you are older or
Speaker 1: if you're disabled, you get Medicaid, if you're elderly, you
Speaker 1: get Medicare. But there's nothing for those who work full
Speaker 1: time but don't get coverage unless they can pay for
Speaker 1: it out of pocket. Medicaid expansion provides coverage, but it
Speaker 1: reduces cost for everybody because the reality is poor people
Speaker 1: get sick and they go to the doctor. The problem
Speaker 1: is that they can't pay the bill the rest of
Speaker 1: us do. Medicaid expansion means that they actually put their
Speaker 1: part of the bill through a common pool that reduces
Speaker 1: everyone's cost and actually the smartest economic decisions we can
Speaker 1: make in Georgia. Wow, okay, now let me take you
Speaker 1: for us up. Because Medicaid and and education, these are
Speaker 1: things that affect Republicans also. What is it? What is
Speaker 1: it that the Republican Party is saying to their constituents
Speaker 1: that's causing them to not understand that what's happening in
Speaker 1: Georgia is it's no longer working. Georgians want Medicaid expansion,
Speaker 1: and here's why they've lost hospitals in Republican districts. They've
Speaker 1: want jobs in Republican districts. Their kids can't go to
Speaker 1: well funded schools because they don't have the tax base
Speaker 1: they need in Republican districts. And what we're starting to
Speaker 1: see is that people are connecting the dots. It's taken
Speaker 1: a few years, and that's one of the challenges of politics.
Speaker 1: It takes a while for the policies and the reality
Speaker 1: to connect. And what Republicans take advantage of is the
Speaker 1: fact that a lot of folks have too many of
Speaker 1: the things on their minds to worry about what's happening
Speaker 1: in their state House or what's happening in the Congress
Speaker 1: until it affects their lives. And part of my responsibility
Speaker 1: as a candidate has then to talk to everyone, to
Speaker 1: go to Republican districts, democratic areas, go to communities of color,
Speaker 1: white communities, so across the state and talk about the
Speaker 1: same issues everywhere, because as the next governor, I need
Speaker 1: people to know I'm learning to be the governor of
Speaker 1: all of Georgia, not just a select few. Well, you
Speaker 1: know what you've You've read a really, really class race.
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, we just take our hat
Speaker 1: off to you because we've watched you come under attack
Speaker 1: from so many angles, and the class with which you've
Speaker 1: stood there and handle every question, even when he backed
Speaker 1: out of debates. I mean, but I got it though
Speaker 1: I show got it. I would and went down there
Speaker 1: and debated you either when he debates, I said, this
Speaker 1: boy right here, I can't go to him that this
Speaker 1: woman embarrass me like this. So we're saying to you, congratulations.
Speaker 1: We've been harping on this for weeks. Now we are
Speaker 1: getting to the polls and record numbers. I want you
Speaker 1: to know that the entire Steve Harvey Morning Show UH
Speaker 1: went out and pre voted and posted it on all
Speaker 1: of our social media and we wasn't shame about who

Speaker 1: read subject. I can't stand a sorry man. Dear Stephen Shirley,
Speaker 1: I am a thirty six year old single mother of
Speaker 1: four who met a very handsome army vet at work
Speaker 1: back in two thousand sixteen. After dating for six months,
Speaker 1: he told me that he had to move out of
Speaker 1: his rental home because the owners had sold it, and
Speaker 1: he asked me if he could stay with me for
Speaker 1: a while. Against my better judgment, I agreed to let
Speaker 1: him move in temporarily. A month later, he was laid
Speaker 1: off from his job. Two months after that, his car
Speaker 1: got repossessed, so he was unemployed and did not have
Speaker 1: transportation to go job hunting or to go un jobbed interviews.
Speaker 1: While he was out of work and was not bringing
Speaker 1: money into the household, he cooked and cleaned and did
Speaker 1: all of the yard work, but I had to constantly
Speaker 1: prompt him to do these things. I got fed up
Speaker 1: with coming home and seeing him on the couch playing videos,
Speaker 1: so I gave him him an ultimatum to find a
Speaker 1: job or leave. He has a job now, but he
Speaker 1: only makes enough money to take care of himself, and
Speaker 1: there's nothing left for bills or groceries. This has put
Speaker 1: a major strain on our relationship and intimacy because his
Speaker 1: lack of ambition is such a turn off. I need
Speaker 1: for him to get out so I can move on
Speaker 1: with my life. When I talked to him about moving,
Speaker 1: he said he has no plans to leave anytime soon
Speaker 1: because he needs to save up some money first. I
Speaker 1: already have four children and I don't need a fifth child.
Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley, please help me figure out how to get
Speaker 1: this grown man out of my house. Well, you're absolutely
Speaker 1: right in saying this. Uh, this grown and has got
Speaker 1: to get out of your home. He really does. Sometimes.
Speaker 1: You know, we as ladies were just a bit too nice,
Speaker 1: aren't we? And we don't listen to ourselves to our
Speaker 1: into it our intuition, do we. You sat against your
Speaker 1: better judgment, That was you telling yourself you shouldn't do this.
Speaker 1: So you already knew when you allowed him to come
Speaker 1: into your home. And I don't care. No one is
Speaker 1: that handsome, no one? All right? Uh, he's taking advantage
Speaker 1: of you. He's taking advantage of your four kids, and
Speaker 1: now you know you cannot allow him to do this
Speaker 1: any longer. You gotta let him know today, today, without
Speaker 1: any hesitation, without any second thoughts, that he has to go.
Speaker 1: If you're nervous, if you're a little you know, apprehensive
Speaker 1: about doing it, please have someone with you, preferably a
Speaker 1: male or two or three. Uh. You gotta have someone
Speaker 1: with you when you tell him. You also have to
Speaker 1: change the locks on the doors, all of that. Uh,
Speaker 1: pack his clothes, whatever you have to do. But this
Speaker 1: man has to go. Okay. Uh, you've gone over and
Speaker 1: beyond the call of duty with this vet, and there's
Speaker 1: no need for you to do anything else except for
Speaker 1: show him the door the way out. Steve, Well, this
Speaker 1: letter don't make no sense from the beginning. You're thirty
Speaker 1: six year old single mother four. You met a handsome
Speaker 1: army vet at work in two thousand sixteen. After dating
Speaker 1: six months, he said he got to move out of
Speaker 1: his runtal home because they sold it. Then he asked
Speaker 1: you could he come stay for a while. See me
Speaker 1: right here, I'd already started counting people in rooms already.
Speaker 1: See y'all, you got four kids that you love and
Speaker 1: take care of your thirty six I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're stay in with all in rooms. But i'd have
Speaker 1: just started counting rooms and people. A month later, he
Speaker 1: got laid off from his job after he moved in,
Speaker 1: then got his car repossessed. Let's see, if you got
Speaker 1: put out your rental house, your next move should be
Speaker 1: to go get another rental house, not to come and
Speaker 1: leach off this woman, single mother trying to make hiss me.
Speaker 1: I mean, just right there, why would you burden her
Speaker 1: with that? Now she didn't know how burden some you
Speaker 1: was gonna become. And then you went on and proved it.
Speaker 1: A month later you got laid off from your job.
Speaker 1: Two months after that the car got representsed. Okay, so
Speaker 1: three months he made a car payment. They're making some
Speaker 1: serious phone calls. At three moments he let him, He
Speaker 1: let him pick up the car. So how but how
Speaker 1: they repossess his car? Yeah, he ain't it work, so
Speaker 1: they know where he work. He ain't it work, and
Speaker 1: he ain't at his house cause they took the house.
Speaker 1: How they know the car was over there at your house.

Speaker 1: people ain't that. Yeah, man, how do they what? But
Speaker 1: in the third month, though, stupid then he was out
Speaker 1: of work. He wasn't bringing in no money into the house.
Speaker 1: He tried to cook and clean and did the yard work,
Speaker 1: but you had to constantly prompt him to do things.
Speaker 1: Then you're coming home, he on the couch playing video games.
Speaker 1: He wanted the kids for real. Now, so you're told
Speaker 1: him to find the job of leave. Well now he
Speaker 1: got a job now, but he only makes enough money
Speaker 1: to take care of himself, and there's nothing left for
Speaker 1: Bill the groceries. I don't understand this. What is he
Speaker 1: doing with the money if he ain't helping you with it?
Speaker 1: He has no car, car note gun. He ain't got
Speaker 1: no rent. The rent gone but not he and he
Speaker 1: still ain't pitching in now. He ain't sorry, man, This
Speaker 1: dude right here, he's he's a little worse than sorry.
Speaker 1: But you you can't help this woman at all with
Speaker 1: these folk kids. Whatever money you're making on to go
Speaker 1: into the pile to help out, you've been living on
Speaker 1: it for months now. He has put a major strain
Speaker 1: on our relationship and into me said, I won't sleep

Speaker 1: gonna have some great guests today. Uh, we got another
Speaker 1: special guest. He's a noted politician and attorney. He's one
Speaker 1: of the youngest state representatives and the youngest black elected
Speaker 1: official in the United States. He's currently a political correspondent
Speaker 1: for CNN and I invited him on the show today
Speaker 1: because it's voting day. It is time to make a move,
Speaker 1: and I just thought that his insight and his his
Speaker 1: commentary could move some people today because we need everybody
Speaker 1: to get to the post. Please welcome our friend Mr
Speaker 1: bacard Sell. Thank god you just take it away. Man.
Speaker 1: What how significant is it today? What do you say
Speaker 1: to people who say my vote doesn't count? What do
Speaker 1: you say to people who are sitting on the sidelines? What?
Speaker 1: What how do you How would you stir and and
Speaker 1: and spur people to vote? Well, there are a few things.
Speaker 1: The first thing I would say is if your vote
Speaker 1: wasn't important, people wouldn't work so hard to try to
Speaker 1: take it from you. Um, that's first and foremost. The
Speaker 1: second thing is I'm tired of having people who don't
Speaker 1: represent us, who don't look like us, who don't understand
Speaker 1: our culture, determining our future, determining our children's future. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's on the ballot is not just an individual but
Speaker 1: it's on it's HBCU funding, it's health care for your
Speaker 1: your children and your grandparents. UM, it's making sure that
Speaker 1: we're not in senseless wars. UM. It's making sure that
Speaker 1: you have a living way. The teachers get paid what
Speaker 1: they need to get paid. We always say that this
Speaker 1: election is the most important election of our lifetime, but
Speaker 1: to day truly is. And so and the last thing is,
Speaker 1: my father was shot in the Orangeburg massacre February night
Speaker 1: on the campus stop Rhnest. He was in prison, he
Speaker 1: was housed on Death Road, just so that I could
Speaker 1: stand on his shoulders and we would have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to cast our ballot. So I don't take it for granted. UM.
Speaker 1: And we're not asking you to shed any blood. We're
Speaker 1: not asking you to go to prison, but we are
Speaker 1: asking you to stand in line and vote and exercise
Speaker 1: your franchise because it's that important. Wow, these UM, A
Speaker 1: lot of these elections are really close. What what what
Speaker 1: would you say on behalf of the Stacey Abrams and
Speaker 1: the Gilliams and the EPCs and and and and and
Speaker 1: people like that. I mean, you've heard what you said before,
Speaker 1: But what would you say to get people to get
Speaker 1: out there and make this happen for for folks like that? Well, man, look, first,
Speaker 1: I have to just take my hat off to Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams because I don't think people fully comprehend how hard
Speaker 1: it is to be young, black, democratic, and female in
Speaker 1: the South and to do and accomplished what she's already accomplished.
Speaker 1: I mean it is a plus. I mean that that's
Speaker 1: that is amazing and to overcome. I mean she is
Speaker 1: running against a less dramatic throwback like the voter suppression
Speaker 1: that Brian keimp is attempting to exert on old people
Speaker 1: and people of color is unlike anything else. And she's
Speaker 1: she's so strong. I mean, I I'd be furious, I'd
Speaker 1: be ready to put hands or something. You know, it's different,
Speaker 1: but she is, she is so strong, and so I
Speaker 1: I I give her the utmost respect. And you know,
Speaker 1: now we can't let them down. They've they've done everything
Speaker 1: because that Mike guest bees, the the Andrew Gilliams, the statiatums.
Speaker 1: But let me also say that, UM. Let me also
Speaker 1: say this, UH, it's important for the for the listeners
Speaker 1: you have and in misstance Shelby County in that area,
Speaker 1: UM to to turn out for Phil Preston in Tennessee. UM,
Speaker 1: it's important in Arkansas to turn out for Frank Scott,
Speaker 1: It's important in New Jersey to make sure they turn
Speaker 1: out for Andy Kim and Cincinnati and on high the
Speaker 1: turnout for at that peer of all, because what's been
Speaker 1: going on in Washington, d C. Is they've been running
Speaker 1: over us, not caring about it. If we're not at
Speaker 1: the table, then were on the menu and we're not
Speaker 1: at the table right now. That is true. It's it's
Speaker 1: been interesting watching this and Donald Trump says something he said,
Speaker 1: a vote for them is a vote for me. It's
Speaker 1: like this guy takes every moment and then he's trying
Speaker 1: to distance himself from the possibility of what it looks
Speaker 1: like they're gonna lose the House. I've never seen a
Speaker 1: more petty person in office anywhere. Let loan the presidency. Well,
Speaker 1: now he's a sociopath, so let's mean you know, let's
Speaker 1: just call it, call it what it is. And he
Speaker 1: is on the ballot. I mean, do you over the
Speaker 1: past four weeks, I mean, we we keep going back
Speaker 1: to this, but on the past four weeks we've seen
Speaker 1: anti semitism, xenophobian bigotry to raise his ugly head or
Speaker 1: rear as ugly head in the form of violence. UM.
Speaker 1: That's the manifestation of his words. I was at Mother
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Ami UH this past Sunday. It's probably the only
Speaker 1: place in the country that could feel the same pain
Speaker 1: that the synagogue in Pittsburgh, and the pastor was so deep,
Speaker 1: and the pastor UH spoke from Proverbs and he talked
Speaker 1: about the fact that your tongue can speak life or death. UM.
Speaker 1: And what we have right now is a president who
Speaker 1: does not speak life into anyone but himself. UM. And
Speaker 1: so we have to go out there and elect candidate
Speaker 1: who will repudiate that, who will stop that rhetoric at
Speaker 1: every turn, because we have an entire generation of people
Speaker 1: who are going into this country and they think that
Speaker 1: school shootings are commonplace. They think that they can't worship
Speaker 1: in peace, that they can't be gay and be happy
Speaker 1: and not be judged, uh that they can't go to
Speaker 1: schools where their teachers are paid the right right prices,
Speaker 1: in right salaries, in their their buildings aren't falling apart. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, we have to have someone, a candidate or
Speaker 1: candidate who speak life. And that's why Andrew Gilliman is
Speaker 1: so tough, and Stacy Abels are so tough, and Bato
Speaker 1: O'Rourke in Texas are so tough because they use their
Speaker 1: tongue to speak life into their constituents. And I just,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if it's gonna be enough,
Speaker 1: but I want everybody to know. I'm I'm so damn
Speaker 1: proud of all of them that I'm gonna do everything
Speaker 1: I can until my last breath tomorrow to make sure
Speaker 1: that I do everything I can to get him over
Speaker 1: the hut. Well, this is exactly why we wanted you
Speaker 1: on this show. Thank you so much for car thank
Speaker 1: you for your for your support, for your leadership, for
Speaker 1: your insight. It's just been incredible this entire election, and uh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Man, We're gonna get out here and
Speaker 1: get it done. So thank you, brother. We appreciate you. Man.
Speaker 1: The crazy part about all of This is Wednesday morning,
Speaker 1: the race for President of the United States begin. So
Speaker 1: if you thought it was over all, right, bro, thank you? Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: coming up an encore presentation of our interview with hopefully
Speaker 1: the next governor of Georgia. We're gonna claim it and
Speaker 1: put it out there, Miss Stacy Abrams. Right after this.
Speaker 1: You're listening, Hey, everybody joining us. Now, we promised you
Speaker 1: was gonna be a morning of of just some great interviews.
Speaker 1: Today we have the Democratic gubatorial candidate in the state
Speaker 1: of Georgia. She will be the first African American female
Speaker 1: governor in Georgia, and as the next governor of Georgia,
Speaker 1: she's committed to expanding Medicaid, improving public schools, creating good
Speaker 1: paying jobs across the state. She's uniquely equipped to create
Speaker 1: a Georgia where everyone has the freedom and opportunity to thrive.
Speaker 1: This is one of the tightest governors race in the nation.
Speaker 1: And your vote today and we are harping on this
Speaker 1: and have been for the past six weeks. Your vote
Speaker 1: to date, atters, Please welcome to the show for the
Speaker 1: first time, Miss Stacy Abrams. Well, Miss Abrams, how are you?
Speaker 1: I am good? You know we are twelve hours away
Speaker 1: from victory. This is uh, this is a huge and
Speaker 1: I'm just so honored to be in the position to
Speaker 1: help make history in America. This has been a tough race.
Speaker 1: How would you describe this campaign and what do you
Speaker 1: think you've tried to convey. I think that this has
Speaker 1: been a very tough campaign and spirited. But what I've
Speaker 1: tried to do from the very beginning is standing my values.
Speaker 1: I was raised by my parents believe in faith and
Speaker 1: family and service, and that we have a responsibility to
Speaker 1: do with right. And so if you look at my
Speaker 1: campaign from the beginning until the very end, we have
Speaker 1: run on the same three issues, education, health care, and jobs,
Speaker 1: because I know if you have access to those three things,
Speaker 1: your life can be better in Georgian across the country. Yeah, hey, now,
Speaker 1: let me talk to you about health care for one second,
Speaker 1: because we're getting some conflicting information. Because all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I've noticed that your opponent and other opponents in the
Speaker 1: other party are saying that they don't want to do
Speaker 1: away with pre existing conditions, but what they're actually doing
Speaker 1: is actually that very same thing. I think the word
Speaker 1: you're looking for is their hypocrites, um and and that's
Speaker 1: part of the challenge of this election that they have
Speaker 1: counted on, especially in mid terms. They've counted on people
Speaker 1: not paying attention. And what has happened is that they
Speaker 1: worked hard to dismantle to Affordable Care Act, to block
Speaker 1: access to Medicaid expansion. They've voted multiple times to end
Speaker 1: protections for pre existing conditions, and they're hoping that the
Speaker 1: short term memories and long term memories of voters won't
Speaker 1: recall what they've done. Part of the responsibility that I've had,
Speaker 1: the candidates across the country have had is to remind
Speaker 1: people of who they are that these are not people
Speaker 1: you can trust with your healthcare, with your jobs, or
Speaker 1: with your education, because they are not going to tell
Speaker 1: us the truth. Yeah, what's been miss Abrams. The thing
Speaker 1: that you've wanted to stress the most in your campaign,
Speaker 1: if you could pull out one or two points, what
Speaker 1: what what? What you're stressing? I talked about Medicaid expansion
Speaker 1: because it is the crux in the state, like Georgia,
Speaker 1: of so many other opportunities. We have half a million
Speaker 1: Georgians who are denied actives to health care. That means
Speaker 1: if you have a stroke in certain parting state of Georgia,
Speaker 1: you can die before you see a doctor. But it's
Speaker 1: also about the economics. It's about making sure that we
Speaker 1: can create thousands of jobs across Georgia. And then most
Speaker 1: personally to me, it's about criminal justice reform. And people
Speaker 1: don't think about Medicaid expansion and criminal justice in the
Speaker 1: same breath. But in the Deep South, the number one
Speaker 1: provider of mental health care is not our hospitals, it's
Speaker 1: our prison system. And we have a lot of folks
Speaker 1: are going to jail because they haven't gotten the help
Speaker 1: they need from bipolar disorder, for for schizophrenia, for a
Speaker 1: range of mental health challenges. Do you think that people
Speaker 1: out here really understand that what your opponent is against,
Speaker 1: as well as so many other Republicans there against things
Speaker 1: that they call set aside, and uh, Medicaid fits into
Speaker 1: that category as a set aside. For them, Medicaid is
Speaker 1: about covering a gas. What people have to remember is
Speaker 1: that the way we get healthcare and in America is
Speaker 1: through insurance. You get private insurance to your employer. If
Speaker 1: you are older or if you're disabled, you get Medicaid.
Speaker 1: If you're elderly, you can get Medicare, but there's nothing
Speaker 1: for those who work full time but don't get coverage
Speaker 1: unless they can pay for it out of pocket. Medicaid
Speaker 1: expansion provides coverage, but it reduces costs for everybody because
Speaker 1: the reality is poor people get sick and they go
Speaker 1: to the doctor. The problem is that they can't pay
Speaker 1: the bill the rest of us do. Medicaid expansion means
Speaker 1: that they actually put their part of the bill through
Speaker 1: a common pool that reduces everyone's cost and actually the
Speaker 1: smartest economic decision we can make in Georgia. Wow, Okay,
Speaker 1: now let me tell you for usselves. Because Medicaid and
Speaker 1: and education, these are things that affect Republicans also, what
Speaker 1: is it? What is it that the Republican Party is
Speaker 1: saying to their constituents that's causing them to not understand
Speaker 1: that what's happening in Georgia's it's no longer working. Georgians
Speaker 1: want Medicaid expansion. And here's why they've lost hospitals in
Speaker 1: Republican districts. They've lost jobs in Republican districts. Their kids
Speaker 1: can't go to well funded schools because they don't have
Speaker 1: the tax base they need in Republican districts, and what
Speaker 1: we're starting to see is that people are connecting the dots.
Speaker 1: It's taken a few years, and that's one of the
Speaker 1: challenges of politics. It takes a while for the policies
Speaker 1: and the realities to connect. And what Republicans take advantage
Speaker 1: of is the fact that a lot of folks have
Speaker 1: too many of the things on their minds to worry
Speaker 1: about what's happening in their state house or what's happening
Speaker 1: in Congress until it affects their lives. And part of
Speaker 1: my responsibility as a candidate is then to talk to everyone,
Speaker 1: to go to Republican district, democratic areas, go to communities
Speaker 1: of color, white communities, so acrost the state and talk
Speaker 1: about the same issues everywhere, because as the mess governor,
Speaker 1: I need people to know I'm learning to be the
Speaker 1: governor all of Georgia, not just a selection. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, you have our support today and we're gonna
Speaker 1: show up in record numbers that we're gonna send a message,
Speaker 1: uh that the country the way is being represented is
Speaker 1: not the way we want to represent it, that we
Speaker 1: want to be an all inclusive country. And we and
Speaker 1: we recognized the fact that you represent that, Miss Stacey Abrams,
Speaker 1: and today we're gonna make you proud. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: and thank you for the civic spirit you've shown for
Speaker 1: helping us get to vote out all of you names
Speaker 1: and gentlemen to the polls today, Miss Stacy Abrams, thank you,
Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care our next governor. Coming up more
Speaker 1: of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this. You're
Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. The state of
Speaker 1: Oregon goes back to the basics for elections. While states
Speaker 1: across the country are worried about hackers and election meddling,
Speaker 1: Oregon is sitting pretty right now. That's because they have

Speaker 1: how they've been doing it for twenty years. I know.

Speaker 1: Here we are, Steve, last break of day on this
Speaker 1: very important day, Election Day, two thousand eight, mid term elections.
Speaker 1: Well what's happening. Well, let's do something different. We've been
Speaker 1: in We've been uh imploring, is that the word to vote.
Speaker 1: We've been asking people to vote. We've been laying out
Speaker 1: reasons why you should vote. We've explained our personal experience
Speaker 1: with voting. So the only thing left for me to
Speaker 1: do today on this important day is the hair. The
Speaker 1: crew just asked me questions and no matter what you
Speaker 1: asked me watch Highs, but asked me questions about anything relationship, money, jewelry, trial, vote, watch.
Speaker 1: I have a question, uh, Steve, we know that it's
Speaker 1: today is Mississippi Monica's birthday. We have to get that in.
Speaker 1: So what are you going to get her for a birthday.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get h that dud in Mississippi. I won't
Speaker 1: make him. I'm gonna make e c. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: him in the office because I'm gonna have people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what help. Your Your gift today will be Mike
Speaker 1: EPs his name is spy. Do you think it could
Speaker 1: be motivated for women to use that a gift for
Speaker 1: me and to get them going there and vote something
Speaker 1: they can do? Say the question again, like you think
Speaker 1: women could use that to motivate me and to go vote,
Speaker 1: Like you know, we gotta treat for you when you
Speaker 1: get home if you go, Well, yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: a good way to do it. I know, if I'm
Speaker 1: getting a treat, I'm going in there voting for everything.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna be voting, and I'm gonna carry
Speaker 1: you down there to the polls with me so you
Speaker 1: can see me voting, because I don't want no trouble
Speaker 1: when we get back to the house. I got a question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the black guy with the opponent till that stands behind Trump,
Speaker 1: Uh what what? What you know? What would you tell
Speaker 1: him on a voting day like today that they don't
Speaker 1: care nothing about you. I don't even know why you're
Speaker 1: standing over there. You always over there by your own
Speaker 1: black set. That ought to be a clue right there,
Speaker 1: sitting up in here with your hair pool back. I
Speaker 1: don't know what you are. I don't know he had
Speaker 1: a Trump Pens t shirt on you, so stupid. What
Speaker 1: would you say to people that I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: the president is making this election all about him. What
Speaker 1: would you say to that, Well, I'd say they're absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: He's not only made this election about him, he's made
Speaker 1: the office of the presidency about him. He has made everything,
Speaker 1: every policy has been about him. And if we're sick
Speaker 1: and tired of his policy, if we're sick and tired
Speaker 1: of the way he's portraying us as Americans, then we
Speaker 1: got to send a clear message to him that this
Speaker 1: will not be tolerated. And we got to vote today. Okay,
Speaker 1: I hear you talking about that. Good. I hear you
Speaker 1: talking about voting. Today's election day. But how do I
Speaker 1: know my vote is going to count today? Well, see
Speaker 1: when you cast it. When you cast it, it's computerized,
Speaker 1: and that's how that it counts. Let me tell you what.
Speaker 1: If you're asking that question, how do I know my
Speaker 1: vote counts? That means you didn't vote before? And now
Speaker 1: Donald Trump asked, is in the white What what else
Speaker 1: do you need? Mr? Do I count? Well? When you
Speaker 1: don't count a show, this is what we end up. Okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you want to vote, it's thinking you and Trump trying
Speaker 1: to decide who get the last life? Vest, what do
Speaker 1: you tell him, I'll be out there floating on his
Speaker 1: chunk ahead. You can have a damn life, vest. I
Speaker 1: want you to live. I don't want nothing to happened
Speaker 1: to him, But why are you holding the life better?
Speaker 1: I'll be on your biggers back. Good because I know
Speaker 1: he floats. That's good. What do we tell people if
Speaker 1: they ask who we voted for. I'm voting for anybody
Speaker 1: but him, because he clearly said the other day a
Speaker 1: vote for Republicans is a vote for me when I'm
Speaker 1: voting for anybody but you. So if a vote for
Speaker 1: Republican is a vote for you, then don't go to
Speaker 1: them credit it is. I got a question. I got
Speaker 1: a question, just off the top of your head. What
Speaker 1: do you think will be the next governor of the
Speaker 1: state of Georgia. Uh? This woman named Stacy Abrams. Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's who I feel to be the next guy to Georgia. Stacy.
Speaker 1: I think Abrams. I think she's qualified. I think she
Speaker 1: ran a great race. I think she stunned a lot
Speaker 1: of people, and I think it's time. I think it's
Speaker 1: time for a change. I've always said this a hundred
Speaker 1: times on this show. If you keep doing what you've
Speaker 1: been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you keep being getting.
Speaker 1: And if what you've been getting for Kemp you don't
Speaker 1: like it, then it's time for change. What has Kemp
Speaker 1: done for the state of Georgia? I lived that, absolutely nothing,
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing. Who do you think will be the next
Speaker 1: governor of the state of Florida. I'm just gonna put
Speaker 1: it to you like this, the Black and Florida come on,
Speaker 1: because once again, if you keep doing what you've been doing,
Speaker 1: you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting. And they
Speaker 1: those two in debates have made a will more than
Speaker 1: valid points and they look better than their opponents, and
Speaker 1: I say they deserve a chance to represent us in
Speaker 1: the House. Thank you very much, have a great weekend.
