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

Another entertainment news, Wesley Snipes is in trouble again with the I R S. He can't be you know, you can't be. I don't think he ever got out of the last ones. What do you do? You go to jail, dog, but when you get out you still oh don't you you don't just okay, but you got to pay. Don't If you're going to jail for some go go here. But you gotta you gotta work.

All right, listen they want him to pay. Twenty three point five million dollars he claims. Wesley claims he's only got eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars basically. Uh. Wesley, who served three years in jail after being convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns, wanted to settle his case and have the lean taken off his house. The i r S lowered his original bill from twenty three point five dollars to seventeen point five million, and they rejected his off For now, he's filed a petition to overturn that decision.

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

Huh, Steve Tom reminded me of Woodrow. No, look you have read subject. I can't stand a sorry man. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a thirty six year old single mother of four who met a very handsome army vet at work back in two thousand sixteen. After dating for six months, he told me that he had to move out of his rental home because the owners had sold it, and he asked me if he could stay with me for a while. Against my better judgment, I agreed to let him move in temporarily. A month later, he was laid off from his job. Two months after that, his car got repossessed, so he was unemployed and did not have transportation to go job hunting or to go un jobbed interviews. While he was out of work and was not bringing money into the household, he cooked and cleaned and did all of the yard work, but I had to constantly prompt him to do these things. I got fed up with coming home and seeing him on the couch playing videos, so I gave him him an ultimatum to find a job or leave. He has a job now, but he only makes enough money to take care of himself, and there's nothing left for bills or groceries. This has put a major strain on our relationship and intimacy because his lack of ambition is such a turn off. I need for him to get out so I can move on with my life. When I talked to him about moving, he said he has no plans to leave anytime soon because he needs to save up some money first. I already have four children and I don't need a fifth child. Stephen Shirley, please help me figure out how to get this grown man out of my house. Well, you're absolutely right in saying this. Uh, this grown and has got to get out of your home. He really does. Sometimes. You know, we as ladies were just a bit too nice, aren't we? And we don't listen to ourselves to our into it our intuition, do we. You sat against your better judgment, That was you telling yourself you shouldn't do this. So you already knew when you allowed him to come into your home. And I don't care. No one is that handsome, no one? All right? Uh, he's taking advantage of you. He's taking advantage of your four kids, and now you know you cannot allow him to do this any longer. You gotta let him know today, today, without any hesitation, without any second thoughts, that he has to go. If you're nervous, if you're a little you know, apprehensive about doing it, please have someone with you, preferably a male or two or three. Uh. You gotta have someone with you when you tell him. You also have to change the locks on the doors, all of that. Uh, pack his clothes, whatever you have to do. But this man has to go. Okay. Uh, you've gone over and beyond the call of duty with this vet, and there's no need for you to do anything else except for show him the door the way out. Steve, Well, this letter don't make no sense from the beginning. You're thirty six year old single mother four. You met a handsome army vet at work in two thousand sixteen. After dating six months, he said he got to move out of his runtal home because they sold it. Then he asked you could he come stay for a while. See me right here, I'd already started counting people in rooms already. See y'all, you got four kids that you love and take care of your thirty six I don't know what you're stay in with all in rooms. But i'd have just started counting rooms and people. A month later, he got laid off from his job after he moved in, then got his car repossessed. Let's see, if you got put out your rental house, your next move should be to go get another rental house, not to come and leach off this woman, single mother trying to make hiss me. I mean, just right there, why would you burden her with that? Now she didn't know how burden some you was gonna become. And then you went on and proved it. A month later you got laid off from your job. Two months after that the car got representsed. Okay, so three months he made a car payment. They're making some serious phone calls. At three moments he let him, He let him pick up the car. So how but how they repossess his car? Yeah, he ain't it work, so they know where he work. He ain't it work, and he ain't at his house cause they took the house. How they know the car was over there at your house. I'm just trying to do. I'm telling you that REAPO people ain't that. Yeah, man, how do they what? But in the third month, though, stupid then he was out of work. He wasn't bringing in no money into the house. He tried to cook and clean and did the yard work, but you had to constantly prompt him to do things. Then you're coming home, he on the couch playing video games. He wanted the kids for real. Now, so you're told him to find the job of leave. Well now he got a job now, but he only makes enough money to take care of himself, and there's nothing left for Bill the groceries. I don't understand this. What is he doing with the money if he ain't helping you with it? He has no car, car note gun. He ain't got no rent. The rent gone but not he and he still ain't pitching in now. He ain't sorry, man, This dude right here, he's he's a little worse than sorry. But you you can't help this woman at all with these folk kids. Whatever money you're making on to go into the pile to help out, you've been living on it for months now. He has put a major strain on our relationship and into me said, I won't sleep with nobody broke. It's up in here. You all slept with a broke ram before. It's gotta be hard here and here. Won't all this from you? What? Come on now, let me have it, Come on, do it to me, Come on home. Put your leg over here. Hey, you ain't working. Not putting my leg nowhere? This is all I'm doing. We don't touch me. That's all right, Steve, hold that thought. Okay, we're gonna have part two of your response to this letter of this crazy relationship right after this. We'll be back at twenty three after you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, coming up in about twenty minutes, but Kari Sellers from CNN, we'll be here to talk about this very special election day.

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

What is you all up in Oregon? Why should read the damn started? I wanted to tell you guys, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The voting system is so popular in Oregon that the majority of both parties back it. Surely I heard you, but you called to so they just go that. Man, that's how they've been doing it for twenty years. I know. Did you not hear me? They say you can't hack paper. That's according to the Secretary of State. What is he? Why is this? He cares care? Oregon? Okay? You know, have you ever performed in Oregon? Never? Have never never been to Portlands. Now. I did plays important. That's the only thing I've done important.

Papay was scheduled to go up there. We didn't make it up there. What was that about? Who still operates? That's how you throw We didn't make it. That's the rock you give it to somebody. What happened? They saw that play? The lam so damn hard. We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right after this. You're listening Steve Show right now. In today's Entertainment News, Steve Rihanna says she does not want her music being played at Trump rallies anymore. The presidential playlist wasn't even on re rease radar until she got a tweet from Washington Post reporter Philip Rucker, who wrote, it's been it's been set a million times, but here's a million in one. Trump's rallies are unlike anything else in politics. Currently. Rihanna's don't stop the music is blaring in Chattanooga, as aids toss free Trump T shirts into the crowd like a ball game. Everyone's loving it, she responded. Rihanna responded, not for much longer. Okay, me, me nor my people would ever be at or around one of these tragic rallies. So thanks for the heads up, Philip. Remember last month, Farrell was upset. We talked about that on this show. Uh, he did not want his song Happy being played. He was upset when he heard a song happy it was being played at Trump rallies. Uh Happy, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's DJ and durand it. But that's what we need to find out who' dj in Duran who's playing this music? But don't worry, he'll get a short desist. Play Kanye Hello, God, Digger? What is he gonna play? And saying digger? Alright. Another entertainment news, Wesley Snipes is in trouble again with the I R s he can't be. You know, you can't be. I don't think you ever got out of the last one. What do you do? What are you going to jail? Dog? But when you get out you still oh don't you you don't just okay, but you got to pay. Don't If you're going to jail for something, go go here. But you gotta you gotta work. I mean what you're saying since you've been I wish his TV show had made it because I really liked his TV show. Yeah it was really good. Yeah, alright, what are you? Just can't come on? Okay? All right, listen. They want him to pay twenty three point five million dollars, he claims. Wesley claims he's only got eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars basically uh. Wesley, who served three years in jail after being convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns, wanted to settle his case and have the lean taken off his house. The i r S lowered his original bill from twenty three point five dollars to seventeen point five million, and they rejected his offer. Now he's filed a petition to overturn that decision. You know what I think, So he's fighting it. I think here's a deal. You know, if you all, I think the I is a bit on fair. If you haven't filed and you owe the money, and then you go, you you've been out of work three years because you've been in prison. You can't make it. So where's he gonna get it from? You know? I mean and then three years in jail. I mean, you got your twenty three Come on, man, that's that's being a little bit much. It's a lot of a lot of money. Better get busy to the movies, pas. And you can't just go make movies. Yeah, you gotta have the backing. You gotta have what. You gotta be a box office drawing you do. Yeah, don't nobody know nothing. All right, We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show, and to close out the show, one last break right after this coming up at forty nine after the hour you're listening to show. Here we are, Steve, last break of day on this very important day, Election Day, two thousand eight, mid term elections. Well what's happening. Well, let's do something different. We've been in We've been uh imploring, is that the word to vote. We've been asking people to vote. We've been laying out reasons why you should vote. We've explained our personal experience with voting. So the only thing left for me to do today on this important day is the hair. The crew just asked me questions and no matter what you asked me watch Highs, but asked me questions about anything relationship, money, jewelry, trial, vote, watch. I have a question, uh, Steve, we know that it's today is Mississippi Monica's birthday. We have to get that in. So what are you going to get her for a birthday. I'm gonna get h that dud in Mississippi. I won't make him. I'm gonna make e c. I'm gonna get him in the office because I'm gonna have people. Yeah, yeah, that's what help. Your Your gift today will be Mike EPs his name is spy. Do you think it could be motivated for women to use that a gift for me and to get them going there and vote something they can do? Say the question again, like you think women could use that to motivate me and to go vote, Like you know, we gotta treat for you when you get home if you go, Well, yeah, I think that's a good way to do it. I know, if I'm getting a treat, I'm going in there voting for everything. You know, we're gonna be voting, and I'm gonna carry you down there to the polls with me so you can see me voting, because I don't want no trouble when we get back to the house. I got a question. Yeah, the black guy with the opponent till that stands behind Trump, Uh what what? What you know? What would you tell him on a voting day like today that they don't care nothing about you. I don't even know why you're standing over there. You always over there by your own black set. That ought to be a clue right there, sitting up in here with your hair pool back. I don't know what you are. I don't know he had a Trump Pens t shirt on you, so stupid. What would you say to people that I feel like, you know, the president is making this election all about him. What would you say to that, Well, I'd say they're absolutely correct. He's not only made this election about him, he's made the office of the presidency about him. He has made everything, every policy has been about him. And if we're sick and tired of his policy, if we're sick and tired of the way he's portraying us as Americans, then we got to send a clear message to him that this will not be tolerated. And we got to vote today. Okay, I hear you talking about that. Good. I hear you talking about voting. Today's election day. But how do I know my vote is going to count today? Well, see when you cast it. When you cast it, it's computerized, and that's how that it counts. Let me tell you what. If you're asking that question, how do I know my vote counts? That means you didn't vote before? And now Donald Trump asked, is in the white What what else do you need? Mr? Do I count? Well? When you don't count a show, this is what we end up. Okay, okay, okay, you want to vote, it's thinking you and Trump trying to decide who get the last life? Vest, what do you tell him, I'll be out there floating on his chunk ahead. You can have a damn life, vest. I want you to live. I don't want nothing to happened to him, But why are you holding the life better? I'll be on your biggers back. Good because I know he floats. That's good. What do we tell people if they ask who we voted for. I'm voting for anybody but him, because he clearly said the other day a vote for Republicans is a vote for me when I'm voting for anybody but you. So if a vote for Republican is a vote for you, then don't go to them credit it is. I got a question. I got a question, just off the top of your head. What do you think will be the next governor of the state of Georgia. Uh? This woman named Stacy Abrams. Yes, Yeah, that's who I feel to be the next guy to Georgia. Stacy. I think Abrams. I think she's qualified. I think she ran a great race. I think she stunned a lot of people, and I think it's time. I think it's time for a change. I've always said this a hundred times on this show. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you keep being getting. And if what you've been getting for Kemp you don't like it, then it's time for change. What has Kemp done for the state of Georgia? I lived that, absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing. Who do you think will be the next governor of the state of Florida. I'm just gonna put it to you like this, the Black and Florida come on, because once again, if you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting. And they those two in debates have made a will more than valid points and they look better than their opponents, and I say they deserve a chance to represent us in the House.
