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 bucks things in it to me, good to mother for I don't join Jo. You gotta turn hur, you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn, got to turn them out. Then turn the water, the water go. Come, come on your thing. Uh h, I sure will. Good morning everybody, y'all listening to the voice, come on dig me now wanting only Steve Harvey Man old man, got a radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, man, I just have to tell you about it. I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He owned one, he'd be clowning, he'd be just showing out. Man. I'm just over here, just on receiving it. You know, if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we as people delay what we want or delay the process to begin what we want our hopes, our dreams, our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we all decide together that just individually look, you're listening. You got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals you haven't accomplished yet. Everybody has them, everybody's got on them. Everybody's got something that's that's on the table that they haven't yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your mission today? Stop the procrastination. Now, the procrastination is only hurting you yourself. If you got a goal or aspiration, a dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that because God knows where you're left off. Now. You may have to accomplish a few more things since you stop for a long period of time, but God know where you left off, you can get back on track. I look, man, this dream of being on TV since I was a kid, and it got off track. Now it got off track. I just kept it as one of the dreams, and in some real dog moments when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on too was just the hope that one day it could. But that's what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man, sometime it just keep hope alive. Sometimes, you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive. Sometimes, Man, it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was in and everything pointed in the direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed up this time. Then I sat there and I just hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something, when you fall off track and you want to go get back in line, God holds your place. See he held on to that fum me. He knew I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV that when you get it together and you quit tripping and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you back in line, then we're gonna finish your journey. That took me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to. But then it was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to happen to me along the way. So when I got on the radio one day, which I did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I say it every day. See, because of this radio show that I didn't see coming. Na, I have stories to tell. I got experiences to share, and I can tell you about me better than I can tell you about anybody. And I don't been through enough where it's relatable where enough people can and go. Man, that happened to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See, I get it now. See at the time, though I didn't like what was happening to me. At the time, I was really in total disagreement with God on a lot of stuff he was pulling off on me, But in essence I was really pulling it off on myself. But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out there and died wrong. He forgave me, He said, Cause, man, if you ever come to me, I have a plan for you that it is going to be far and above. It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what I did. I just got sick of me, good and sick of me, and I turned it over to God. And then God started working and here I am today now as he threw it me. Yet Nope, have I arrived ob ject Nope? But guess what the journey is cool? You know, It's like I was talking to this young brother the other day about comedy and he's a really good stand up. You know, this young dude is really good. He said, Man, what is this I feel every night before I go on stage. I don't know what it is. I just wanted off me, I said, sir, listen to me, you young dude. This thing that climbs on my back every night before I go on stage. I don't know what it is. It's got something to do with pressure, It's got something to do with anticipation. It's got a whole lot to do with the fear of falling. He said, what you mean by that? I said, every night I walk out on stage, it's like I'm about to go and step off a cliff. I said, it's a sickening feeling. He said, man, but you do so well. I said, that's because the parachute opens. I say, but I want you to understand something. When I first walk out there, it's just stepping off the cliff. Now, these provide a parachute which slows my descent when I jump off the cliff, and I turned it into a glide. And then I take the audience this way and I swing them back over that way. We might swing out to the Colorado Rockies. We may go down to Miami with this joke. We may take it on out to LA and I just swing back and forth till I land softly. The crowd cheers. The night is over with, I said, but it's been too many nights though. When I walked off that cliff and I pulled the cord in, the parachute didn't open. I said, Now I'm just free falling out there for thirty minutes. Ain't no jokes working. Ain't the parachute didn't open. I said, So see, that's what it's like for me. And then you know what I found out. If you don't walked off the cliff, in life, and you ain't got no God in your life. It's like not having a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all now that fall gets you closer to the grave, right see, were all head into the grave from the moment we're born. But the cool thing about a relationship with God is when you step off the cliff and you got God here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a nice ride, and God just helps your your descent appear more like a rise and then more like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God in your life and you just walking off that cliff every day, free falling. Ain't got no core, You steady pulling, you houling the whole way because you've messed around with yourself, and ain't let God come into your life and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since I got to jump every day, than to not have one. God has been like a parachute from me. Ask me why where that came from. I can't tell you. But like I always say, most good things that happened in my life that I can't explain it's usually him. You're listening, got it? Oh my mind.

When my husband gets on the phone or around other people, I find out things he doesn't like about me. He told his brother that he can't get a decent breakfast to save his life. Everything is overcooked, he chuckled, as if he were joking. Then he was on the phone with his best friend and said that I snore like a bear, so it's like sleeping with one. He chuckled after saying that too. I asked him why does he do this? And he said I'm too sensitive. Do you think that it's how he really feels? Or are they just jokes? Okay, well they could be jokes.

He said, he feels like I have something to hide. I told him he's insecure. That did not go over. Well, how can we come to some kind of agreement on this, Well, it's nothing to have an agreement about it. If you're using your social media for business, he should understand that. It would be different if you was posting other social things on it and not him. But you just use it for business. Now. If you're putting other stuff on that did he has a gripe or real complaint.

You're listening to Steve Morning Show. All of us continue to mourn the shocking passing of forty three year old Chadwick Boseman. On this past Friday, chad Chadwickman's family released a statement saying it is with immeasurable grief that we confirmed the tragic loss the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer back in twenty sixteen and battled with it these last four years as it progressed to stage four. The statement went on to say it was the honor of his career to bring King to Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home surrounded by his wife and family. They were by his side. Other historical and iconic roles that Chadwick played included James Brown, fantastic as James Brown, Jackie Robinson, of course, yes, outstanding. Yeah, that's a good one. And we also know that Chadwick was a proud graduate of Howard University. H celebrities and athletes from Denzel Washington, who actually paid for Chadwick to go to school. He paid for I mean at the behest of Felicia Richard. Yeah, and he didn't even know at the ten Felicia was shot. He didn't even know at the time. Chadwick got a chance to thank him. I think it was at the New York premiere of A Black Panther, and he called him the dopest actor on the planet. He said that about his mentor Denzel, and I mean Kevin Hart had nice things to say. Samuel L. Jackson, Viola Davis, Angela Bassett, who was in the movie, played his mom in Black Panther, Jamie Fox, Ryan Coogler, who was the director of Black Panther, and of course Steve Harvey. I mean, everyone is just heartbroken over this. Talk about gone too soon. Denzel described Chadwick as a general soul and he also said that when he was at the premier for A Black Panther, he actually went to get his money, get his money back. Yeah. Yeah, you have made a bunch of hits, dog, But you know here he was impactful. I mean, way too short of a career, but the stuff he did was incredibly impactful. So sad man, But it's just like, I mean, we gotta get Look, man, these colon noster piece are important in our community. They're moving the age. It's time for me to go back and get another one, you know, because I got nine probably seven years ago. You need to get him. Every five might have got it eight. I don't even know.

So by the time when they discovered it, it was stage three, you know. So it's not like he was neglecting his health anything, because they don't even recommend you going to you fifty. But they said they were going to move the date up. But if he'd been battling it for he probably had it when he was thirty nine. You know, he was doing movies between Going to Get Keimo and all Us Bad Man. Yeah, he was awesome. I mean, talk about a fighter and a real superhero. Um. Last night, ABC honored Chadwick by airing The Black Panther commercial free, and then it was followed by an ABC News special Chadwick Boldsman, A tribute for a king, A homeboy. Let me South Carolina. Yeah right, Jay, that's right. All right, Steve. Time for the latest on today's headlines. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Trip, thank you very much, everybody, Good morning. A homicide investigation is underway in Portland, Oregon, after a man was shot and killed Saturday night during clashes between anti racism protesters and a pro Trump pro police group. The victim not identified yet no arrest has been made. However, photos showed that the guy was wearing a thin blue line patch on his shorts and a hat from a local right wing group calling itself Patriot Prayer, a group that has been coming to Portland, I would say to demonstrate and a leisurely engage in violence. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler says he's tired of the violence, especially though the person he says is responsible for it. President Trump, it's you who have created the hate in the division. It's you who have not found a way to say the names of black people killed by police officers, even as people in law enforcement have. And it's you who claimed that white supremacists are good people. You've tried to divide us more than any other figure in modern history. And now you want me to stop the violence that you helped create. That was the mayor of Portland ten and wheel And meanwhile, the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin were calm for a fifth straight night last night, where protesters chanted job Jacob Blake, the name of the young black man shot by a policeman seven times in the back, paralyzed and still fighting for life. President Trump, by the way, promising to visit Kenosha this week. However, the mayor there, John Antoamian, tells MPR that any presidential visit is fine, but just not right now. By the way, the local police chief is insisting that his officers did nothing wrong in being friendly to the seventeen year old white man who came to Kenosha armed and who then allegedly shot three anti racist protesters, two of them fatally. Kyle Rittenhouse is charged with first degree intentional homicide. Congessional Democrats say they're outraged by the Trump administration's decision not to provide face to face intelligence briefings to legislators about how foreign powers are trying to once against subvert our democracy. The National Head of Intelligence, John Ratcliffe says from now on he'll only provide written reports. Democrats say this is a violation of the administration's constitutional responsibility to keep the Congress in form and Chelison officials already announced that Russia is already working to harm Joe Biden's presidential bid. Finally, and so sadly, mister Jackie Robinson, mister Black Panther, mister James Brown, and others has left us too soon after Chadwick Aaron Bozeman died from Anderson, South Carolina died Friday after losing a four year battle against colon cancer. Among his great roles, get on up, Marshall and black Panther, I am not the king of old people. I am king of a combat actor. Chadwick Boseman was forty three years old.

All right, So Steve, earlier we talked about how we are still mourning the loss of Chadwick Bowlsman. Of course, a few years back, Um, you had a chance to interview Chadwick about some of his iconic movie role. Take a listen, what's in life? Seeing everybody's reaction to the comic contrailer, it was like I imagine a Michael Jackson concert. Was like that. People were crying, people were they were laughing. Uncle lost complete control. Even I was crying. But it literally, it literally it was like a concert experience. This new film, marshal Man, explain what it is exactly, Well, it's like a superhero origin film of Thurgood Marshall. Because he hasn't he hasn't gotten to do the things you know he will do. Yeah, and so he's the Marshall play on the word Marshall coming into town to implement justice. So it's like a Western Who Done It slash Buddy cop film and it's a feel good experience at the same time. Yeah, that's a fight scene in the movie. Right, and you square up like a boxer.

Chadwick Boseman did to colon cancer. And did you all know that, I think we've talked about this earlier to Steve, that colon cancer is the third deadliest cancer among men and women in the US. It's after lung cancer and men and breast cancer and women. Wow, they won't go Black men need to go to the doctor. And African Americans of course, are at greater risk of colon cancer. And the American Cancer Society recommends regular screening of colon cancer at the age of forty five forty five, right, go ahead, Malloyd up, it used to go to forty man.

Thank you, nephew. Subject, please don't bring any food to the cook out. Sure sure, right, Dear Stephen Shirley, Except Carla, I'm a thirty three year old entrepreneur and I need your advice because Labor Day is coming soon. I live in a nice, big neighborhood and I'm friends with everyone on my block. We're a close knit community, and each year we have a community outing for Labor Day at the neighborhood clubhouse. Last year, I took two big watermelons, some ice, and two cases of soda. Since I'm a bachelor, I'm not expected to do much more than that. We send around a checklist annually so we'll know who's bringing what to the party. My next door neighbors always bring the cups, plastic ware, and paper towels each year, but this year they signed up to bring the potato salad and homemade coleslaw. First of all, everyone in the neighborhood knows they have the nastiest house on the block. They have three dogs that have free rain in the house. Their carpet is disgusting, and I would never eat anything they cooked. When I go over to I have a drink with the man of the house. We either sit in the garage or out back. I haven't been able to sit in their house for any period of time because of the pets. Everyone feels the same as I do, but we are all afraid to tell the couple. I told the wife that it's probably going to be too hot for the salads to stay outside, and she said she plans to keep them in the cooler covered up. If we avoid eating their salads, it will be noticeable, and we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I feel bad about talking about them behind their backs, but this could be a bad situation for us and for them. For them, Labor Day is always a memorable weekend and I can't have barbecue without potato salad. I need advice on how to tell them before it becomes a big mess. Is it best to come right out and say it? Please advise. Sounds like it's already a big mess. Okay, And yeah, it's best to come right out and say it. But you just gotta be nice about it. I mean, I just say, if the nasty neighbors bring the food, do not eat the food. You can't eat this food, the nastiest house in the block. No, you can't do it. That's it, period. Don't eat the food. I suggest you bring your own since you can't eat barbecue, you say, without potato salad. Do you have someone in your family or friend or something that can make good clean house potato salad. I think you need to contact them and just bring the stuff, ask them to do you a salad, take it with you, and eat it with your meal. If they ask you, just tell them your friend made it. No other explanation necessary. This is not a major issue to me. I think you can handle this potato salad situation. I understand you don't want to hurt their feelings or anything, but you don't want to eat their their potato salad and their homemade coleslaw either. So that's the choice you have to make. I just say, have somebody else to make it and just act like, you know whatever, it's been there all the time or something. You can handle this. Steve, we all at some point in my life have dealt with this. This ain't the time to be neighboring. It's time to be real. They live in a nice, big neighborhood. He friends with everybody on the block. Close knit community, got block watch everything, They got houses associated, everybody cool. They have a community outing on Labor Day at the neighborhood club house. Oh I know this community well. Last year I took two big watermelons, ice and two cases solder these as black people. Oh yeah, because potato seller has to be right. Did you hear that? No, that ain't fly because the single dude showed up with two damn watermelons, two cases of soda, and some ice, and they let him get away with that because black people know this all you post the brain, sweetie, you you can't cook. See that's how I analyzed this right here. So now we so we do a checklist, so we know who's bringing everything. Now, normally their next door neighbors just bring the plastic were paper tiles. But this ship they signed up the brain, the potato salad, that homemade cold slaw, and everybody's neighborhood. No, they got the nastiest house in the block. All right, let's put the brakes on this right here. You must release this information. Someone has already made the potato salad. Damn it. I know it's August, but someone has all read it made the potatoes salad for Labor Day even though it's still August. Oh huh, okay, the potatoes salad and cold slaw is already made. It's been handled. Someone has committed to this. But Joe Nastas can't brain. No food everything you brain got to be wrapped up, folks, nas no cold on Steve. We'll have part two of Steve's res and twenty three minutes after the hour, Subject, please don't bring any food to the cook out. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to show, all right, come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter and see it wasn't about me after all. Subject, please don't bring any food to the only reason it ain't you surely called they nasty. Oh yeah, although now here we go the close knit community. Little single dude go down every year taking a couple of watermelons iced couples case so here, bastlord Genterm, I expect him to do no boating there. And they sit around the checklist everybody want everybody gonna bring to the park. Then his neighbor's nasty and they always bring paperwear, plastic were, paper, tiles, cups, stuff that's wrapped. This year, they signed up the brain for tato salad and the homemade cold slow everybody neighborhood. No, they got the nasta's house on the block. They got three dogs, got free reid. They carpet is disgusting. I would never eat anything they cook. Then why is y'all letting them bring homemade potato salad and cold slow? Too many damn things can go in now. It's just too many damn things. You know, dogs in there, You could drop stuff in there. Too many egretis in there. You know you don't know what you're eating? You know you you and and this is and I see y'all these yearly events. We can't under risk or somebody messing up a yearly event. That's why you're on Golden People house. It can't cook the Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving comes once a year. Yeah, go over to nobody's house, taking chances, trying nothing out. Oh, I made I made a new sweet potato dish and it ain't yams. What you know? I made a new sweet potato dish and it ain't yams? What is what? Damn? It is Thanksgiving? What ain't yam? I've been waiting all year on this here? What is you talking about? Yeah? I do them. I just cut them up in quarters. You are to see it. It's so pretty. You cut the sweet potatoes up in quarters? What ball them? Okay? I can't tell y'all, Wait till you see this everybody feels the same as he does, but they are afraid to tell the couple. Then what he tried to do is he tried to tell a nasty lady, probably gonna be too hot for the salast to stay outside. She said, we're gonna keep him in the cooler. Cover it up. So now that's why you ain't got to eat no, because they're gonna be in the cooler. Cover it up, Jeff. Let everybody know what cooler they are. That's it, you know. I didn't even see these you know, and let him take it on back. It's gonna be noticeable. And we don't want to hurt anybody's feeling. Look, you got to hurt people. You have to hurt It ain't the time to you got to hurt these people. Somebody got to take a spoon over and go, what the hell? Hell no? Why is that hell? That ain't no damn potato satade. See, you got to hurt some people, and then I feel bad talking about them behind their back. But this could be a bad situation for us, saying Neil, mostly for y'all. They're gonna eat it because they ain't gonna know it's bad. See, nasty people don't really know they nasty. If you ever go on somebody's house that got a lot of dogs and you smell their dogs, they don't smell they dogs. Labor Day is always a memorable weekend. It's gonna be even more memorable because you're, first of all, let me explain something, y'all about this neighbor that you're gonna mess with. Other braining is bad as potato salling cold. Slow down here, that we already coming down here, Mike, get covid. Oh lord, as think we're gonna get food poison into and and let me tell you something. COVID got the same symptoms as as a bad potatoes, your stomach, diarrheal stuff in head because when you eat bad food, your head clog. Now you're gonna be coughing, choking. The whole damn, the whole damn neighborhood gonna think they got COVID. And it's all because y'all let the nasty ask people bring them tato stat it up in here. Don't do it. Don't do it now, listen to me. I need advice on how to tell them before it comes a big mass. Just going over there and say, hey, look man, ain't nobody saying nothing to y'all. I'm gonna bring it to y'all's attention. They really really enjoyed the plastic cups and stuff. I enjoy that you always. Man. Look, everybody's been saying, Man, if they don't bring the ones they bring, we don't even the way to get them. We don't even know whether y'all bring them this plastic folks. And for you to deny us that, you know, everybody got to everybody don't repetato sating cold slaw, but everybody use y'all plastic. Well, why would y'all do this? Tell us and a lot of neighbors. That's hurt because you all are also taken away an opportunity because miss Sylvia wanted to make the uh cold slaw and you don't even notice, but she got, you know what, she got a pre existing conditions. She might not be here next labor. Let her make this potato salad stuff because it could be her last water.

He spoke at the publican national confusion with him thirty three years old, young black guy. He made me sick and let me explain something too. All you got to do is take every bullet that's in the wall and remove the bullets from the body. You take it. You take all the guns that was there that night. You look at the shells that were found at the scene. You file those same police officers guns into the water tank, and you match the bullets up. The bullets that's in the wall and in the body. They have a score on it that comes out of the chamber of guns. That's just like a fingerprint, and no. Two of the say, and you will know whose guns shot who. Just don't take all the damn moss.

In forty eight hours, yes, we'll have more of a Steve Harvey Morning Show and some trending news coming up at thirty three minutes after the hour right after this. You're listening, all right, So Steve. Earlier we talked about how we are still mourning the loss of Chadwick Bowlsman. Of course, a few years back you had a chance to interview Chadwick about some of his iconic movie roles. Take a listen, what's in life? Seeing everybody's reaction to the comic contrailer, it was like I imagine a Michael Jackson concert was like, but that people were crying, people were they were laughing. Uncle lost complete control. Even I was crying. But it literally, it literally was like a concert experience. This new film, Marshal Man, explain what it is exactly, Well, it's like a superhero origin film of Thurgood Marshall because he hasn't he hasn't gotten to do the things you know he will do. Yeah, and so he's the Marshall play on the word Marshall coming into town to implement justice. So it's like a Western who Done It slash buddy cop film. It's a feel good experience at the same time. Yeah, that's a fight scene in the movie, right, and you square up like a boxer. Man, are you a boxing fan? Did you take lessons? I love boxing practicing myself, you know that's me that the Mayweather fight recently, Jamie Fox n eyes um puff I love. Did you see the reaction you got from those guys from from Jamie from from Yeah, yeah, it's amazing, man. I don't know if you understand how a lot of people feel about you. Wow man, right man?

Wow, they won't go Black men need to go to the doctor. And African Americans, of course, are at greater risk of colon cancer, and the American Cancer Society recommends regular screening of colon cancer at the age of forty five.

And in order for us to really drive the point at home that black lives matter, we have to vote. If black lives matter, then our vote must matter too. See, if we really want them to pass policy to make change in the Black Lives Matter movement, the black lives must show up at the poll in unprecedented numbers to force them to bring about change and policy. See, everybody keep talking about what they're gonna do for black people. You can demand whatever you want when you become a block, a power block at the polls. Don't you understand that you can demand whatever you want when you become a voting power block. Black Lives Matter is the beginning of something really really huge here with all the protests, with all the marching, with all the help from non blacks, with all of the outrage we're seeing around the country and cities that's still protesting, with the statement that sports teams are making listen, all of this can come to a head at the polls because they don't care that we march it. They really don't, man, listen to me. They've seen this before. Now, they've never seen it at this magnitude with the social media behind it, and they haven't seen this magnitude of non blacks behind it. So there is something special going on here. But they will really understand the depth and the breath of it all if we make black lives matter, because our vote matters too. So if you really want your black life to matter, we got to show up at these polls because I'm telling you, man, they don't listen until you hit them in the pocket. They don't listen until you cause them to lose position and power. Position, power and money is to drive having forced behind this country, nothing else, nothing else. That's why so many people are pulling and backing Trump because he represents their power in their position. The sad part of it is is that there's so many Trump supporters. That's the sad part that, as much as I want to say this country is changing, it's disheartening to see all the Trump supporters with the flags and stuff, because I don't I don't that they're not even trying to understand. When you watch Fox News, they make Black lives matter is a Marxist movement to cripple and socialize America that ain't what it's about at all. That's not what it's about. So we got to show him what it's about. And the best way to show him is to do it at the polls. I'm telling y'all, man, we can't play around this time. This has to turn up at the pole with all this marching and all this protesting, and til we get them to change policy, until we forced their hand to get better police training or better process of dealing with the police and the way they handle people from our community, until we forced their hand to get in that position right there, it's gonna continue. They just shot another brother. They shot him in the back. This was during the Black Lives movement. You know, this thing is in full blast, and they managed to shoot this brother in his back seven times in spite of it, not to mention the other ones that have happened since then. They don't listen, man, They don't listen because there ain't no consequences to their actions. Because the President is not pushing Black Lives matter, He's pushing Blue lives matter. He's got through. He's got the backing from the police organizations of New York and from other major cities. He's got the backing of the heads of the police departments because he's talking about blue lives matter. See we think blue lives matter too. But see, black people ain't don't know mission out Black people ain't run around out here trying to kill police. We ain't got no problem with the police. We die nine one one. We want some action, just like you do. The problem we have is the police that you have that brutalize Black people. Them the people we got a problem with, and that's the ones that ain't suffering no consequences. But until we get the right people in power, until we bring about law changes. And the only way to get the right people in power to bring about the laws that would affect us to most is we got to vote the ones that's in that out. And we can start at the top because he's creating more division than any other president in modern day time. Vote dot org. We have got to get to the pole. If you want your black lives to matter, your black life got to vote, period, or else you really don't matter. And they're gonna show you over and over and over again.
