  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are. This is our last
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: break of the day on this Wednesday hump day. Thank
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: you so much for writing with us every morning. We
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. Junior. Before we get out of here, you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: got a question for Steve.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you would talk about the midterms and
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: the importance of us voting in this midterm, but can
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you let us younger people know the importance of us
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to participate in this process of what we have to
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: lose and what's that stay for us?
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah? You know, it's difficult in these times right here,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: because young people seem to take offense to so many things.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And when you try to remind people, because I mean,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: these are our closing remarks, right this is where we're
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: at right now, yes, sir, so okay, so let me
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: say this. It is difficult when you approach young people
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: and you go, hey, listen, there are people for who
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: died for our right to vote. The average young person
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: don't They don't comprehend that. I talk to them all
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the time, man. They don't have a real sense of history.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: And if you bring up history, it's this old calamity
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: that happened some years ago. But see, if you don't
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: know your history. Ask what's happening right now? History can
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: repeat itself, and they're doing exactly that. We didn't get
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the right to vote without interference, without threats until nineteen
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: sixty four. I was seven. Sixty four, I was seven.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: We didn't get that. And the way we got it,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: we didn't burn and loot, We had city ins what
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: we were beaten by policemen, we had marches where we
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: were fire holes and a sick dog was on us.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Just an amazing the limit that they have gone to
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: to prevent us from voting because and now what they're
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: doing again is they're resinding all of that that was
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: provided for us in nineteen sixty four, which why was
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: it even necessary to provide it for us? We should
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: according to the constitution that your forefathers wrote, we should
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: have the right to vote, we should have the right
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: to be counted. But we're in a new administration now. Oh,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: these are the creators and makers in our architect of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Projects twenty twenty five. And if you read this thing average,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: it's fulfilled with so much hatred and bigotry and taking
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: it back and going back, and so now look at this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: We got ice, We got abortion laws have been switched.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: They want everybody to bow down to the white conservative
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Republican movement. And not all whites belong there or fit there,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: and they know it. But the ones in power, that's
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: what they want, the power brokers, And so they don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: want you to vote. If your vote didn't matter, y'all,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: why do they keep doing stuff to make sure you
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: don't vote. Because your vote matters and they know it.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: They know it. If we could come together, we could
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: change anything, if we came together. It's thirty five thirty
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: six million African Americans in the United States, and all
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: those are our votes because some of them kids and
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. So you got to take a lot
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of that thirty five thirty seven million away off the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: table because they can't vote. They're just young, too young.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: But those of us who can vote, I can't even
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: tell you how important it is. And you have to
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: pay attention to history. Do you know they just did
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: this in Alabama yesterday. They redistricted Alabama and took away
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the black representation that his job just gone and it
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: went to the white person who was next door of
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that district. They just made that whole black district one
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: and They put the one with the most votes in
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: it in power. Who was the white guy? They doing
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: it everywhere, y'all. Diy do it in Louisiana. They running
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: rapid with this. They gonna try it in Georgia. They
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: did it in Texas. They just keep on keeping on.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: It's kind of crazy, man. My father, now, my father
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: was born in the early nineteen hundreds. Do you hear me?
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: My daddy was born in nineteen fourteen. That's crazy, man.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Do you know that we've already passed twenty fourteen. My
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: daddy would have been one hundred in twenty fourteen. Now
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you add what's that eleven more years and we in
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, twenty twelve, twelve years ago, my dad
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: would be one hundred and twelve today. He done saw everything.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And my daddy was born in Alabama, in the Deep South,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and we came as far north as West Virginia. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: grew up looking at colored only water fountains, colored only restrooms.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I saw it. I saw this with my own eyes.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But if you bring it up to young people, man,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: they have a tendency. God, oh, they don't do that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: no more. Yeah, they do, and they finna do it again,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: if we don't pay attention, if we don't get registered
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: to vote, because your vote is powerful. And once again
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I'll say this to you. If it wasn't powerful, why
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: did they keep doing everything and they power to make
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: sure we can't vote. As long as they can affect
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: us and get us to sit on the sidelines, they win.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Do not sit on the sidelines. When you sit on
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the sidelines something, I ain't going down there because it
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: don't matter. It matters exactly because when you don't vote
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: for one of us, it's a vote for one of them.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: And let's not be stupid young people. Now, I ain't
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: mad at you, and I ain't dogging here, but I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: saying we've got to be a little bit smarter than
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: this right here. If your vote didn't count, why they
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: keep trying to take it from you? Think about that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Let's get registered, Let's get to the post. Those are
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: my closes from Mark today. Hope you have a great
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: day today, y'all. I expect God to do great things
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: for me. Join in with that mindset and get your
• 6:16
