Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million things and it's not good. Steve Hartley, I don't join jo. You gotta use that turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn got to turn out the turnout, turn the water the water. Come, come on your baby, uh huh. I shall well, good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Varvey got a radio show. Man, Old man. Old Man symbolizes just one thing to me. Man, It's just a constant remind of exactly how good God has been to me over the years. And I'm thank him for it too, because I realize every day that I wake up that I would be nothing without him. That everything I am, that's any good in me, I owe to him. Now. Have I made some mistakes along the way? Yep, bunches, bunches and bunches. And will I continue to make mistakes along the way yep? Not as many, hopefully as I have in the past, because a lot of stuff I know better now. But you're still going to make mistakes now, you know, Hopefully I've limited the amount of intentional errors in my life. I've wiped quite a few of those out. But from time to time, because we're human, we're going to make a mistake every now and then. The trick what it is, y'all, it's not to let the devil deceive you into thinking that once you make that mistake that that's it. You can't do it. You're falling off the wagon. You can't reboard it. That's the biggest trick that he uses. He makes you think that if you keep stumbling, that you can't run the race. It kind of reminds me of a marathon runner. From time to time I watch him on TV, and you'll see some people who finish the race, you know, in a in a nice pace. You see people finish the race sprinting towards the finished line. But every now and then you'll watch a marathon and you'll see a runner and the runner is in really, really bad shape. The key is they finish the race. See, you don't get disqualified in the marathon because you stumble. You don't. They don't. They don't take your opportunity to finish the race because you keep falling. That's not the key. The key is finishing. And a lot of times what the devil does is he makes you think that because you keep stumbling, because you're swaying from side to side, that you know you out the race. Well that's not the case. And see and then this thing called life, let me help you understand something. Everybody falls, Nobody sprints to the tape in this one. Nobody just runs free and clear that as some people running faster than you, and all like this, and some people gonna get to the end before you. Let them go ahead. And when the end come, the end come. I ain't in the rush to get to the end, but in the race, though, when you're stumbling and you're falling, it's a part of it. No one gets through this race without stumbling and falling, swaying from side to side. So don't let the enemy deceive you into thinking that it's over. I try to be encouraging to people because I don't want people to get stuck on this thing, you know. And my walk is very different from a lot of people's walks. And then I know a lot of people who walking in faith the way I'm walking in faith. But my thing in the morning is just to remind those that is not a perfect walk man, that it's not something that's set up where you're gonna be skipping through life scott free without any pitfalls. You know, I keep saying it over and over and over again because, like I said, when I was in DC, my boy Hondo said this to me and it just kind of stuck with me that the road to construct, the road to successes always under construction. You have to figure and count on the setbacks and the pitfalls. But it's those people that that that that fight through will be the victors in the end. You cannot give up, man, Stop going somewhen sitting down every time something goes down. It's going to go down. It's a part of it. It's going to happen. It's going to occur that are going to be setbacks. If you go and sit down every time there's a setback, that's not how this works. It is designed that way. If success were easy, everybody would be successful. But success is just reserved for those who are willing to fight through, who refuse to settle for mediocrity, who wants something more. Now, don't get me wrong. Success is defined by each individual. So what I may consider to be successful. You may not consider that. You know what Bill Gates considers successful. I might not consider what Michael Jordan considers successful. I might not consider what you consider successful. Your boss might not consider You have to define what that is for yourself. It may not be monetary at all. You know, your level of success could be tied up in community service. It could be tied up in family. It could be tied up into church. Your level of success could be tied up into boys clubs. It could be any number of things. Whatever your level of success is, you have to determine what that is you and the best way to determine that is to get in touch with your maker, who created you, to find out what your mission and your purpose is so he can put you on track. I just had this conversation with my son and we were talking about getting on the path that God has set up for you. So many times times we find ourselves fighting through life because of so much uncertainty, because we have no idea where we're headed. It's like one of my own sayings that I have at my mentoring camp for boys is is that a boy without a male role model is like an explorer without a map. See if you don't have a map laid out in front of you of where you're going when you wake up every day. That pretty much explains the feeling of confusion, the laxadaisical attitude, the lack of purpose, to not understanding your mission because you don't have not gotten in touch with your creator to find out exactly what your path in life is. What are you supposed to be doing the moment you can identify that it is the moment that you get started waking up with purpose, with the sense of direction. When you kill the sense of I don't know what's next or what to do. Now, there's going to be some confusing moments no matter what happened, It's going to be some uncertainty, but at least you'll know where you're going. So if you're tied a waking up feeling loss, abandon confused, don't know what to do, don't know what you're supposed to be doing, refer back to your makeup. Because when He created you, he had a plan for you. When he created you, he had a path for you. Now we've made some decisions to get off of both of those, the mission and the path. But God can get you right back on track. Do that today, asking what you're supposed to be doing and listen. God has all the answers if you form the relationship. Okay, you're listening, Ladies, gentlemen, boys, girls, voters, African Americans, latinos Asian Americans, Native Americans, White Americans. Yep. Today is a great day for democracy. Today. Some things that's going down, some things will be proven. A change is in the air. We are here, We are live witnessing history on several labels, on several levels. This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. We are here to educate, stimulate, human Milly eight. That's the eigger side of the show. Embarrassed, claim victory, be graceful at the same time, put it in your face. Yeah, all of this with a level of dignity and a level of assuredness, ladies and gentlemen. Shirley Strawberry, Good morning, Steve Harvey. What a morning it is. Colin Pharrell, Good morning, Georgia. I don't know why Junior ain't on this damn zoom, but June, okay, let me press.

I just set up man, and and and and and and and went with all of them. Anyway, Junior Morning, everybody, Morning Georgia. Ye, nephew, Tommy in that great getting up moment. Okay, are you on the zool? Now you ain't on the zoom. It'll be there in a minute. Take your time. I don't worry about I'm coming. Okay. I need everybody, need your all face, all hands on that. This is a great morning. Came down. Man, what a great day. I want to thank you all. I want to thank first of all the Morning show team for being uh diligent, for being purposeful, for keeping it in the forefronts of our programming, for voting, Carla, Shirley Monica behind the scenes making it happen Junior, Tommy, Jay Georgia. But I want to thank most of all the voters in the state of Georgia who have made a difference. I want to say congratulations to the Black Lives Matter movement, because this all started when young people rab that trombone up and started playing it. And if they don't think that black lives matter, now, trust me, y'all, I bet they do now. I bet they do. Now. Welcome to the Steve Harvey Morning Show and the dawning of a new day. Yes, Lords, voting counts, baby, you're listening, all right. We have a lot to get to today, guys. First of all, we gotta say we've been saying it. Thank you Georgia. Thank you Georgia for showing up. Thank you so much. CNN is predicting that it's objecting that Reverend Raphael Warnock is Georgia's first black senator. Thank you, Lord Warnock beat Republican Kelly Leffler, and John Assoft has widened his lead over Dave Purdue. Votes who still being counted. Congress will get an update on the election results at one pm today, and we'll be watching the votes that are left counted and the last ones they've been counted again are in counties that are heavily populated by blacks and browns. Now our whites there, make no mistake about it. A lot of whites voted for Assoft and a lot of whites voted for Warnock. Warnock, and we do appreciate that. We appreciate the concerted effort. There is more hope for unity than it is for division. There is more hope for love than it is for hate. The only thing about hate is hate happens to be louder than love. And that's what's been prevailing force over the last four years. His hateful ass has been allowed to perpetrate his hate, bigotry and lies. The sad part about it is so many people believe the lies, know it's a lot, and just go along with it anyway. I understand. Then now some people who are just less and don't really know that these are lies. They just want to believe in the person they voted for. I understand that. But the politicians know better. And what I'm most proud of is black people have made a difference in Everybody knows it. CNN know it, Fox know it. Mitch mccomnell know it. Graham know it. The Republican Party know it. Kelly Leffler know it. David Produce know it, Warnock know it, Allsoft know it. Biden knows it. I want to send a special shout out on a special thank you. These are the people who am real. That sister from Spellman, Stacy Abrams, Queen Lord girl, what a bad girl she is. That other sister from Howard University, another tremendous sister, and that brother from Molehouse, Raphael Warna, the HBCUs. If you don't think that the HBCUs then showed up. They are here and to be accounted for. Black lives matter, our votes matter. And let me tell y'all something, man, if you don't think they're paying close attention right now, because but voter suppression, we're not having that no more. You ain't suppressing no more of our votes. I know you're gonna continue to try. I know that's been your trademark over the years. Voter suppression is real. But now you have awakened to sleep. Giant mar Luther King said, I may not get there with you, but we as a people will get to the mountain top. How ironic that a man from his church reverend is the first black senator in the state of Georgia. Home of Stone Mountain, home of the hill top of the clue. Klex Clink started, Oh man, you don't understand what's happening today. This is a great day for us. History is made on so many levels. Man, and this girl, this woman, this powerful sister, Stacy Abrams. She gets you can't say her name enough, that's right. And she's known on on a national platform. Right, everybody's saying anybody and and and and and all that racist commentary coming from the right and all that all. I'm so glad I had them adds this off TV A sicker, this radical laughed Raphael War Not God, America. It don't take that longer beat to say. Damn okay, no, no, really, listen to me. I'm telling they took it all out of contact. Listen to me. They took that all that contact. They don't even know what the man was talking about. Duty yea God, dude, America. That don't take that long to say. Plus, it's that cuss word is one word and it and it ain't God. Break it down. I'm a professional customer. I mean, I listen to me. I had to talk to a man one time after show. He said, I was really disappointed in you as a Christian. We're backstage signing off. I said what he said, you use the Lord's name in vain. That's a holder, man. What if you you ever heard me use Lawd's name. He said, you use it when you said GD, I said GD. He said god blake. I said, no, that ain't what I said. I said God. I never, I never, I never thought the word was god blake. Yeah, I've always thought it was got. That's how my daddy said to me. Got and then it ain't just damn it's damn it. Yeah, it's got, and it right after that, damn it. It's just a class now. Yeah. No, I'm trying. I'm trying to help y'all. See y'all, y'all young ass people don't know the history of customing, where it comes from. It. That's why when they bleeped out his god a bar, I went, what let's let's let's continue to celebrate. We all celebrating this. But I'm educating. Didn't didn't tell you at the top, don't tell me, I said, we are going to educate, stimulate. Then I said, humiliate. This is a part of the humiliation. I don't really care. Look, we've done our job. We don't went to the polls. I'm so proud of us. We went to the polls. Yes, we showed up. We don't. We don't shut this dope man, y'all don't. I'm telling y'all, you don't shook the world. Now. They don't know what to do. Black lives matter. The votes matter. When your vote starts taking people out of power, position, and money, they now have to take vote of suppression and start dealing with your policies and your issues, and they can no longer take our votes for granted.

Coming up at the top of the hour, We're gonna switch gears here and uh bring our good friend and attorney Ben Crump and he will be our special guests coming up at the top of the hour. You don't want to miss it. You're listening. Show all right, Happy New Year, We are here, special guests, Happy runoff. Yes, well we got a special guest. Everybody joining us now is well the trial lawyer of our times. I would have to say he's the most sought after rights attorney to date, and he's been on the front lines of some of the most notable cases of civil rights injustice, and he's joining us today. Everybody discussed another bad ruling in Kennosha, Wisconsin, whether the DA decided there would be no charges file against the cop that shot Jacob Blake in the back seven times in front of his children. Let's get to it. Please, Welcome to the show. Attorney Benjamin Crump, Good morning, everybody, Happy New Year despite the Jacob Blake ruling, because we are celebrating that African Americans have delivered for the Democratic Party. Come out of House, Senate and the White House. Yes, sir, yes, yes we did. You know, it's bad news, but it's you know, we're still making head weight here. So Attorney Crump that the Kenosha District Attorney Michael Gravely yesterday announced uh that his office wouldn't seek charges against Rustin Schefsky. I think that's his name, thirty one year old white Kenosha police officer who shot Blake in the back seven times. What how? How can they reach this conclusion, Steve. I'm so happy to get to talk to you and to Steve Harvey morning Shell about this just miscarriage of justice that we see with our own eyes. I mean, they've passed some ridiculous rulings in the past, but this may really take the cake when you consider the fact that they are trying to convince us that a young black man going away, running away trying to get away from the police with his back to the police. It's a threat to them when you just supposed a couple of days after they shot Jacob Blake Julian in the back seven times, Steve, a young white man Kyle Rittenhouse, shot three people, killing two of them, and then put an a soft weapon around his neck and walked towards the police, walked towards the National Guard, and they said that he was not a threat. So just just asternine and I know we'll break down the details Steve of Jacob Blake, but I just wanted to have the audience just suppose that they mind for a second of black man with no gun running away from you, you consider him a threat. A white man killing people walking towards you. You don't consider him a threat at all, even though he got the thought weapon, because he's white. Because he's white. So now I have two questions two points. First of all, I just want to ask the audience and people listening, and I know they're gonna see what I see. But it's amazing how the grand juries and the das never see the same footage we see. They see the same footage, but they don't see what we see. I'm that's stunning to me. Never gonna get past that. What, brother, do you know is evading the police to go to the car to get a knife, knowing the dude he evading got a gun. Let's just start there My second point, and this is a legal question, brother Benjamin. Yes, sir, I understand there were no charges against the police, but there were also no charges levity against Blake. Is that correct? Yes, no charges left against Blake. So now okay, stay right there with it. Here's my question. If the police ain't do nothing wrong and Blake don't have no charges and he didn't done nothing wrong, why he gets shot seven times in the back? See, if you got no charges against the man, what did you shoot the man for? That's helped me with that part. Yeah, now, Steve, that is a profound question you pose. So let's let's take both of those questions in order that you ask them. Number One, when you consider the fact that the DA said he's not going to charge the police because of self defense, well you then must establish that there was a requisite intent on behalf of Jacob Blake Junior to do something that would threaten the police officer. You see nowhere in that video that he launched at the police, that he parted a knife, that the police did anything to the police other than try to move away from him. And so if you're looking at that, Steve Harvey, you didn't have to say, have the police officer established that he's an intimate fear or threat of his life? And once you think about that element that they must prove you didn't say, hol On. If the police is saying that he was in fear of his life, then why is he following the person? All you have to do is step back, set up a perimeter, and he and his fellow officers can be out of harm's way. That's why I'm so afternine this defense that they say that shooting was justified because of self defense. So that's that's number one, Steve Harvey. Number two and I call your attorney, Steve Harvey for this one because you asked the quintessential question. If Jacob isn't charged, if the police isn't charged, then why is it legal and justifiable for them to shoot Jacob in the black seven times, paralyzing him in front of his three children who were five years old, six years old, and a crump hunger hang on one second, will be right back. Hang on, we gotta go to break right quick. Hang on, you're listening, Hi, everybody. Uh yeah, we're back and our special guests been holding Attorney Benjamin Crump. We've been discussing the the fact that the Kenosha Police Department has come back and with the no charges from the District Attorney Michael Gravity, no charges will be pressed against the white Kenosha officer, Rustin Keshley, thirty one years old, who shot Jacob blaken Back thirty seven times. Um. We we've also been trying to figure out on the break how Nesto is and uh as we move forward, we are trying. Don't worry about that. We're trying to figure out however that we'll get into that later. I'm sorry about that, Crump. It's just a really personal deep thing. Anyway, we're here with Benjamin Crump, my good friend, my frat brother, a man. On a personal note. I can't tell you how proud that Freddy is of you, brother, Just just proud of you man for the work you put in continuously. We're proud of uh. Stacy Abrams HBCU spellman queen who spearheaded has has done so much work in change in the face of this election, another h HBCU Kamala Harris the vice president, first black African American, and then another HBCU stellar performers, new Senator uh Raphael Warnock from Morehouse, were just his showing out. But anyway, man, hey, we've been talking about this, but there's another case too that you've been brought into. What is this Soho case? I don't know the lady's name, they calling him Soho Karen. This case right here is what teh walk us through. What happened with the cell phone in New York. I absolutely well, and Steve, you make us proud brother. I mean, if people don't know the conversations you and our have, how you mentor and teach me about making sure that black people continue to get Jeffice not only the courtrooms but economic justice. That's what Kamala Harrison I talk about all the time. We not only can Jeff say we want our people not to get caught up in the discriminatory criminal justice system, not get fossil accused, but we also want them to be able to achieve their American dream of life to Liberton, to pursuit of happiness. You show us how to do that every day. See, so I just have to say, Benjamin Crump, let's I appreciate Listen to me. We out of time because we on the radio show. You know, you know when you live, you got to go. Can you come back and discuss so whole caring with us this week? I will because she's gonna get arrested. Steve, and I need you to break down for accusing our kids. All right, cool, we'll take that. Next time we talk to you. We love you, Crump. Until we get back, we'll explain everything what's going on. Stay strong, brother y. You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, listen. We want to take phone calls right here, okay eight seven seven twenty nine, Steve eight seven seven twenty nine.

I'm fifty eight years old, right, and the very first time I've ever voted was in November of last year, and I like to say, my vote does matter. That's gonna be my new Yes, my vote does matter. It does. This is a great, glorious morning that does and see he's an example. Doug is an example of what I've been trying to tell politician to people. When Donald Trump and the Republicans pose an argument, how can Joe Biden get more Black votes than President Obama, it is simply because more black people registered due to the efforts of people like Stacy Abrams. I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna let y'all forget this sister man because of her efforts in the state of Georgia. But then across it they spearheaded a lot of movement to get more people registered. That's why and this man, fifty eight years old voted for the first time. Congratulations Doug. I'm proud of you. Man. It ain't ever too late to do the right thing. It ain't it's ever too late. Appreciate your man. All right, let's go to line too and talk to Anne Marie out of New Jersey and Marie. Oh my god, I love you guys, Oh my god. By scene, I love you. Yes, your mind.

Though my sister and her daughter he's a nurse, and my mom is visiting from Jamaica. She's with my sister and she's not really getting well right now, and I wanted to go over to New York to visit her. That's for the reason why I take it. Okay, took her vaccination. Okay. You know, I'm hearing a lot of people saying different things about this vaccination. I guess as an individual choice, m but please don't let fear, and I know that's hard to say, uh, guide your decisions. Look, this is a global pandemic. Something's happened here that's never happened before. And learn the facts, be educated, and make a decision from there. Don't don't go into something superstitious ass corner and and get sick ignorantly. Yeah, just off of ignorance. That's my suggestion. That's good advice. Marie did it, did it? Yeah?

I didn't take any time off in twenty twenty because we were committed on this show to the COVID, to keeping our people informed about the COVID, face mask washing, the hands, social distancing, be careful, full, stay home. We did all of that and then the election. Yeah, we kept our voice on the radio from January all the way to November without a vacation. That's commitment. Yes, So you're damn right time out. Thank you to our audience. Everyone and listens to the Steve Harvey Morning Show every day. We appreciate you, and we're gonna switch gears here because it is time now for the Strawberry Letter. If you need advice on relationships, work, sex, dating, parenting, and more, please submit your Strawberry Letter to Steve Harvey FM dot com and click submit Strawberry Letter. We could be reading your letter live like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter. I love the subject. I really didn't click with his wife, Stephen Shirley. Yeah. I met a great guy on a dating website and we ended up getting really close and after a few months of dating, we got a place together. Four months later, I found out he is very happily married and he's having a baby, but not by his wife. After he came clean about everything, I jumped on him, and he did not lay a finger on me because he knew he was wrong. He stayed in the relationship with me and eventually introduced me to the girl that's having his son. I wasn't interested in being friendly to her, so he didn't force it. He was very eager for me to meet his wife, and I agreed to I'm older than he is, and I'm a bit old fashioned and like to do things the old school way, so I told him to invite his wife over to our place for dinner. I must admit that his wife is cool and really beautiful, but we didn't click right away. She spent the first night at our house and all of us slept together that night. We continued to mess around, and I was cool with sharing her husband, but things started going downhill fast. He started letting his wife use my car, and when I had extra money, he'd borrow it to do something nice for his wife. This is the craziest letter. I didn't really click with her, so I didn't appreciate him using my resources to help her. Then his wife lost her job during the lockdown, so he asked if she could stay with us for a while till she could move back to her mom's house. Now, now that she's there, it's like three's company and I'm taking care of him and his wife. I told him I didn't really care for her, and he's putting her needs over mine. I want to get out of this three way situation and have him all to myself. Do you think this can happen? Now? Please advise? Wait a minute, what okay? The facts quickly? You met him online, moved in with him after only a few months of dating. He's got a girlfriend who's pregnant. You're the girlfriend with the apartment and the money, obviously, and then he's got a wife who's obviously nuts or something. I don't know what's going on there, say that, because who does that? I mean, what wife do you know would would move in with her husband's girlfriend sleep in the same bed with them every single night. I'm I'm sure they're open marriages out there that where this happens, you know, for a freaky date night or something every now and then. But all of this, all the time, this living arrangement is crazy. And this guy, who is this guy? He's got these women acting like this, meeting each other, liking each other. I mean, is this Denzel? Is this injurious? Somebody tell me? Is this the new Black Bachelor? What it's going on? I don't know why you're doing all of this. You know you don't want to. You don't even get along with his wife. You're taking care of her too. I just say, stop letting them use you as their personal sex toy or sex slave. Whatever you are, get out of this relationship because you get nothing in return here nothing. What happens if his other girlfriend falls unhart times? Was she and the baby move in with you? Guys too? You will always have to share him. You'll never have him to yourself. He's not that kind of guy. Okay, I say, put everyone out of your house and just stop this madness. What is wrong with you? Steve? Uh your speechless? I don't I don't know where that starts crazy. This is the most frightening letter. I mean, I wasn't expecting this. It just can't. I need a bell tone to do my letter properly. I needed bill tone, and when I asked for it, I just want you to go ding. I need a bell tone, cat, or a buzzer sound and a buzzer or beat it anything. As soon as you get it, Cat, let me know this this letter, y'all, I want. First of all, I wan't apologize to the audience. Cast this too early in the year for this. Yeah, you know this is like, this is just way too early in the year, this type of letter where six you know, we've been dealing with the election and everything, and then we've been trying to get a vote. It's really just two damn much. When I come back, man, hell, I don't know after. I'll be back in twenty three minutes after the hour, Part two of your response, Part one. I don't really click with his wife. That's the subject. We'll be back right after this.

In some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this you're listening to show all right, guys, here we are, last break of the day, last break of the day, before we get out of here one more time. Congratulations to the state of Georgia. Yeah, so happy about this. Thank you, thank you, Thank you for voting. Thank you Georgia. You showed up, you voted for our democracy. Now we have our senator elect, Reverend Raphael Warnock, because he's been elected as George's first black senator. Congratulations to him. Yes, close behind. He has widened his lead over David Purdue. He's also already declared victory, so he's looking real good right now. Yeah, yeah, you know. But here's my closing remark today. You know, uh, listen, man, we have been talking for a solid year now about voting. We have been imploring, pleading, enlightening, sharing knowledge, giving out websites, showing up every day without missing a beat, encouraging, pleading. We've done everything. I could not be proud of our efforts to turn out to vote. I can now not be more prouder of the vote turnout. I was proud of the people who voted in the senatorial election and the runoff election that didn't even vote in the presidential election. It kept the message clear that we were clearly kept driving the message home, and it was reaching people. What has happened today is historical. A traditionally red state turned blue, and it turned blue for several reasons. First of all, Stacy Abrams, this sister, don't don't you all, don't please, don't don't short play what this woman did. Man, this woman is a bad sister. Man, This is a bad, bad sister right here. I'm not saying she did it single handily, but she spearheaded this thing and she got and motivated a sheer number of people that not only affected Georgia, they took that blue wave and used it across the country. And so this sister, and they know that they're talking about her, but I don't think they're talking about her enough. The next part of this is the black vote. Now, listen to me. You can't just have black people voting and make a president. You have to have white votes, you have to have brown votes, you have to have yellow, red votes. You have to have a rainbow of votes to become president of the United States. I understand that, and I do applaud everybody who took the time out to vote. Well, I'm just talking to black people right now and people of color because our vote has been taken for granted for so long, and we have been the recipient of vote of suppression for so long. Over the years, they've done everything to suppress our vote, made it more difficult, remove polling stations, made the requirements different, implemented new laws, change districts. They've done everything to us, Internet, bad publicity, false what you're calling poles and everything. They've done everything to suppress the vote. It didn't work this time. It did not work, and we showed up and we determined what was going to happen. A brother said it in Detroit. We've gone from picking cotton to picking presidents. We put this president in the White House, we put the vice president in the White House. If black people had not showed up and brown people in the numbers that they showed up in this election would be totally different. We'd be dealing with Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, and every other person that don't give a damn about us. But you voted, and you change things. And as I said before, let me tell you something, Black lives matter more now than ever before. They can keep saying it if they want to. And we're gonna get to these police and we're gonna deal with police brutality and we're gonna get it. We're gonna get a handle on this. It's gonna take a minute, but we're gonna get a handle on this. But if you thought that this movement that the young people created this year doing COVID, that black lives matter was not important, one of them the most important movements I've seen sister civil rights movement in the sixties. I've been alive for both of them. I'm probably more proud of the movement today because it was so many young people. Now, civil rights movement was a lot of young people too. But you teach you, but you need young people to bring about change. And you young people, the basketball players, the artists, the college students, the workers, and all the factories that pushed and voted from the post office, to the Steel meals, to wherever you're from. Man, y'all made a difference. They don't want to admit even Trump don't want to admit their black lives matter when they matter now though, I bet they matter now. When you start costing people they position their power and their money, you have their undivided attention. Congratulations, Black Lives Matter has taken a giant leap forward. And don't you think that it ain't because y'all change the world today. Georgia, Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus, Augusta. All, y'all Brunswick, thank you from the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Black.
