Steve Harvey's Closing Remarks - 09.19.25 · Daily Inspiration: The Steve Harvey Morning Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, you know my clothesing remarks today, It's just a commentary.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I guess. I just want to share a couple of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: personal viewpoints that I have, and these are just my opinions.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: You're free to have your own, You're free to disagree
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: with anything I'm saying. I just have a few random thoughts.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I guessed that I just wanted to say. You know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I've been in this country my entire life. I grew
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: up as a child in the sixties. I grew up
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in Wels, West Virginia and Cleveland, Ohio. I've seen colors only,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: water fountains, bathrooms, segregation. I saw that that wasn't even bussing.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: When I was in school, we were purely just segregated.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: You went to school in your neighborhood, you ain't go
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: in certain boundaries everything. I've watched this country evolve over
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the years, and I've watch this country stay the same
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: over the years. I watched our previous presidential election, and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the main compound from our main campaign promise from our
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: president was to make America great again. I said it
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: from the very beginning. That's a dangerous slogan because if
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you're asking me and telling me that you want to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: make America great again, you're assuming that it's not the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: way you want it to be, and you want to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: take it back to a place and time in history.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And as I reflect back on my place in time
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and history, I can't remember when it was better for me.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: This is as good as it's ever been for me.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And it still has so many holes in this constitution,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: and so many bullet holes shot in that flag, so
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: many tags and rips in it. And it's just been
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: hard to watch the senseless murders of black people in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this country at the hands of police officers. It's been
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: difficult to watch. It's been difficult to be a part of.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It's been difficult raising my sons, to teach them how
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to act when they pulled over so I can get
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: my sons back home. It's been challenging to get my
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: sons not to wear hoodies. It's been challenging watching civilians
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: kill black people with no consequences. George's Zimmermann lied. I'm
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: talking about openly lied and believed it. It's been tough, man,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's been tough. And then to listen to somebody say
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: let's make America great again and have to deal with
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: where we are today. This is a sad, sad place.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We don't have a democracy anymore. We live in where
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: where we have a leader of our country who refuses
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to say anything to unify us as a people. Just
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: say something, presidential, man, your opinion, keep it to yourself. Sometimes.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyway, and then boom, here
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we go some more dissension. I have watched the rise
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of white supremacist groups in this country since this man
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: has been in office, because they feel as though one
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of us is finally in and we're free and able
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to say more. I've never said. I've always known it
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was racism, y'all, please understand I have, but the openness
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of it now is blatant, shameless. I applaud the number
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of non blacks that I see on Instagram still holding true.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I watched this one man that just made me laugh
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the other day. His whole thing was, why don't we
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just leave black people alone? And then there are non
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: blacks who actually know the history, you know, why don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: y'all get y'allself together? And this one lady said, well,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: every time they try, y'all go and get it down.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Why don't y'all do something positive, every positive movement, our
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: own wall street, our own towns and villages, they burned
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: them down to the ground. And now you want to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: hide that in the history books as this it never existed.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: I'm tired, man, I really am. I'm just exhausted. I'm exhausted,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you know what. I'm exhausted from asking everybody to just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: treat us equal, not better. I watched people say lately
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that the Civil Rights Act was wrong, it should have
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: never happened. Do you know what Civil Rights Act all
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: it was saying? It just asked America to treat us civil.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: This ain't the better acts right, to give us more
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: acts right. It was simply a civil right. All black
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: people want is to be treated civil, just civil. You
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: ain't got to give me no extra gott to open
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: up no door. But let me say this one more thing,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: because like I said, I got a bunch of random thoughts.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: If you get on a plane and you see a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: black pilot, here's what you should do. Look at him, smile,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Go take a seat, put on your seat belt, get
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: your iPad out, and start playing your self games because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: you are in the safest hands you could possibly be in.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Because let me tell you something you're wondering. If he qualified,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: he's had to do ten times what the requirements are
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: for him to be in that pool, to be up
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: in that cockpit. So sit your sit in your chair
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and enjoy your flight because you got an overqualified person
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: up there in that seat. That next time you see
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a black pilot on the plane, put your hands together
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: for it and go sit you down and enjoy your
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: very safe flight because the ain't not now one of
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: them took a plane down. In the history of aviation
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that go all the way back to the Tuskegee Airmen,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: put dead into books too ye. For all Steve Harvey contests,
