We can work with people like Michael Steele, because Mr. Steele isn't about grifting for dollars. I believe he truly has a Black agenda from a Right of center perspective. And I believe he has an interest in the overall good of humanity over profit and power.
It is a shame that he only got to be the RNC Chairman for 2 years but that total Trump sycophant Ronna McDaniel is able to be the RNC Chairperson for 8 years.
Omg you nailed it. Been trying to pinpoint why exactly he has always struck me as 100% genuine ever since I first came across him post-Coupy Doo and it's exactly that - he's not doing it to grift. He didn't first think how he could continue a career and making money while pivoting to fight trump, he just started doing it. Charlie Sykes and most of them at the Bulwark have been pretty A+ as well but I'll always have my guard up around most of the pre-2016 Repubs lol
Will gladly fight in the trenches with Chairman Steele, though!
Correct.
True but he did kowtow to the racist part of his party during the Obama administration.
That is the bar! Country over party!!
He is not a sell out he is a smart guy country and democracy over one dictator wannabe
This is the version of Black conservativism that i can support. We need to be in both rooms, but we need to build a room of our own too. And it has to happen from the ground up
I can listen to Michael Steele and appreciate his commentary because it comes from a place of common sense, fairness and facts. He is not afraid to say the quiet part out loud.
Thank you Ms.Hunter for having Mr. Steele on your show. I feel he is a genuine patriot that love his country and everything it stands for.
Keep educating the masses.
Thanks for hosting Chairman Steel. Great insights
Good to see people with different political views talk and unite.
I watch Michael Steele on MSNBC. Good man we need people like him in both parties

I love this man. He’s married. I love this man’s wife too! ❤❤
Thank God for his voice in good and right standing.
Michael Steele has always been a good man, I was proud to a republican with him. Now I'm like Michael this has been to much!
Michael Steele is a real stand up man yes 💙💙💙💙
I savored every morsel of this conversation. Thank you for bringing it to us. I’ll join wherever You and Michael are!
Thank you, Karen for asking Michael Steele. I've always, well before 2016, wondered why he is a Republican, and what he thinks as a Black man.
I think that he is a Republican for the same reason why I am one as a white man. Because he has primarily conservative values and beliefs. Also, we both dislike Trump.
Many Black people in the south were republicans in the 60s. That was a different Republican Party. There’s the trump party a lifelong democrat and the lobotomy party.
Michael is so intelligent, one would think he's a democrat. xx
I’m a Dem but I like Michael Steele because he is an honorable honest man.
Honestly loving this channel... white girl here from a very small white town. I’ve always been curious and aware of people and cultures outside of myself. This channel is a way for me expand my view. Thank you
I can't thank you enough, Sista Karen. Listening and talking to each other....yes Yes, and mos'def
Linden Johnson said........Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket.
I ❤ Micheal Steele, he is a standup guy!
Remember, Trump tried to throw his hat in the presidential ring as a Democrat years ago and he got it handed back to him. 😂😂. I think that’s part of his grievances, too.
Trump dropped out years ago because he is a LOSER 😬🫤
At least twice.
❤❤❤❤ Mr Steele 4 Da People ✨✨✨
Thank you, Prof Hunter and Mr Steele.
This was a great interview with former RNC Chairman Steele.
Karen, enjoy your Podcast! This is the Rev. Dr. Henry L. Causly, Henry Causly Ministries Inc. A Non Denominational Christian Ministry (Southern California)! I really respect Michael Steele as a Republican. And my thought is this Karen, considering all the other qualified Republicans out there, why would the Republicans still choose a Presidential candidate like Trump with so much negative baggage? It seem Trump has them under a Spell. its sad......
Michael Steele..... great man and insightful
Michael Steel is a fair me and understands that the constitution matters ❤thank you Sir!
Enjoyed this interview!
Speak truth Mike it will set keep you free.
Love this! I use to be able to talk to conservatives but now its crazy. Loved this conversation
Powerful Conversation WOW 😳😳😳🎉🎉🎉
Love Michael Steele👏🏾👏🏾when I think of republicans this is what I love to see especially with black republicans. leverage the word for the day 👍🏾
Yes Mr. steele! Long statement short, you absolutely nailed it. Right or wrong it's your choice and from yourself you cannot hide. 🤨
I love that steel , I love you go blue bluer than blue,great choice,I have a lot of respect for you and you’re for Democracy,thank you
I new Michael Steele was a real man inside out yes 💙💙💙
Excellent segment! Can we get more of Chairman Steele this year please? His words on leveraging our power got me to thinking what our ask should be, especially after watching The Barber of Little Rock. I love the practice of compassionate lending and community building young Brother Washington is doing with the CDFI he founded. We need more efforts like his.
Thanks Michael for asking to stop the clip of that ignorant and discusting man.
Great and informative interview. ✊🏿🖤
That clip played about slavery was pure, unadulterated trash. Whoever spewed that nonsense needs to read up on Stono, Great Dismal Swamp, Black Seminoles, John Horse, German Coast, Nat Turner, Robert Smalls, and the raids led by Harriet Tubman during the Civil War where she burned plantations down to the ground.
Great commentary Karen! I’m so glad I came across your show. I just subbed! I could listen to you and Chairman Steele all day!
Welcome home!
@@KarenHunterShow Yes!!
thank you for sharing this convo. he sounds like a decent brother taking this at face value
Great conversation. Steele’s take on the economic pillar reminded me of The Barber of Little Rock documentary.👏🏾✊🏾
You were great Michael!!
Thank You for this! I'm 4 months too late but this is much needed today... Thank You!
Someone has to converse with the religious persons who give platform to politicians. Their congregations look to them and follow their gesture of support.
mike is good leader for black people
I respect Michae we have the same first name. To be honest i like him because he is a main of good character and honesty . He will not cow to the orange orangatuan. I could see him as the president.
Right On, sister. 😮
This is. a Great information. I Pray more Black People liston to this information. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. Thank you.
There is difference between Civil rights and HUMAN RIGHTS! Let's discuss this issue before laying out an agenda.❤
Michael use to be the most frustrating of Republicans… when he’s around Black people.. he speaks the truth.. around Republican 👀… another story… but I’m glad to see him being more honest and these days
I love love love this interview!
Thank you Ms Hunter for bringing solutions! We gotta get an agenda in front of our people, a message that brings us all together. How about a three pronged agends. Start with healthcare, putting policies in place that address the disparity in the health care system gor rural America. Ex. Establish clinics where known gaps in healthcare exist and figure out how to tie it to federal funding.
A good read is “America is not a democracy “ by David Dayen in The American Prospect.
Excellent points
Michael Steele has one of the most interesting arcs in political media. He went from being a black GOP "bootstraps" conservative to being thrown under the bus by his own party, implying he was a DEI hire, to a guy who seems to have realized that he jumped ship on the GOP just in time to maintain his credibility and his soul. His only naiveite here is when he says, "I keep the republican label to remind conservatives what it meant to be a republican and we still can be". He still doesnt realize that his image of the party never actually existed. He bought into the illusion that "Republican economic principles" and "religious freedom" etc were the core tenants of the ideology but the bigotry was always deeply ingrained in every aspect of the ideology. The veil was lifted when Obama got elected and the GOP turned on Steele. He saw the clouds of Trumpism coming before Trump ever came down that escalator. All they needed was a figurehead.
I totally agree with what he said about the banks still redlining black entrepreneurs. Here in Beaumont, TX, we had a black superintendent that went to the bank where most of the teachers in the public schools had their money. He asked them why is it so disproportionate in lending between the black and white/asian/hispanic educators. Needless to say, they eventually got rid of him and spoke so many untruths about him. He wasn’t perfect, as none of us are, but he was about educational excellence. He also built new elementary schools in the black and white neighborhoods. It’s so disheartening but they think they will be first in line for heaven…smh
Sharp brother.
Applause for one sensible AA!!!
It's hard for me to innerstand "rethuglicans", however; It's almost a breath of fresh air when you actually hear one speaks who's not delusional
❤ I'm stuck on your talk show. I know why my brother has been 👂 ing to your show for years
welcome home!
Not now or before the next presidential cycle, but, someday love to hear a show on the history of black republicans and the advantages of a non-partisan electorate like Newark. The reason being, while listening to Steele I was thinking about Newark Republicans at the time I switched parties and joined up with the leaders of the Newark Republican party Harold Edwards and Gwen Sanford (Waceera Sanford)@@KarenHunterShow
Michael Steele is a fair and honest man! We as blacks also need to look toward the "real Republican party" ( not that MAGA BS) as well as Democrats to solve issues. No one party has all the answers, period; balance is the key to effective government
🔈🇺🇲🌏🏳️🌈 " LOCK HIM UP! /🏴🟦 Pennsylvania
Salute to the Chairman . Over the years he really has changed. I appreciate his sacrifice as well. 💫✨💯
Always follow the money! Real gems dropped!
Karen Hunter has the agency to interview everyone and anybody
Thank U😎For Being A Human Being 😎We Are American ♥️😎
I think Steel suggestion on weilding our power makes sense. So what's the specific agenda items? The public representatives? the action steps? Pilot city?
When I was very young, I remember the grown folks discussing whether Black Chicagoans should remain in the Republican party or switch to Mayor Daley's party - Irish Democratic. Looks like Daley won. A very good discussion. -- @Ms_Butler
Keep the TH-cam post coming
Circle speak. Real Education? Yes. Well spoken? Yes, but In multiple languages which serve us & not to exclude those who can't speak well because that is us too & some of us are unable to speak at all. Recenter our values to serve us all.
💯💯
Great program Ms. Hunter-->Mr. Steele is definitely a guest you should have on as often as possible; he has always been one of very few reasonable country-first Republicans -{Senator Jon McCain, Sen. Bob Dole, or Sen. Mitt Romney} that I first saw on MSNBC back in the 2000's on Keith Olbermann's show, Countdown w-Keith Olbermann -{who has a great Tele-Radio-Podcast on You Tube now...}... He was a genuine peaceful-man when the Tea-Party were the nuts of the GOP.....he actually tired to reach out Blacks and other Minorities to his party is a positive way.......I couldn't vote for anybody his party put up for Presidential office but I respected his positions....He always worked to show a decent side of a party, which hasn't had a decent side in 60-70yrs...the days of -{Senator JOhn McCain, Sen. Bob Dole, and Sen Mitt Romney} decent republicans are gone....he was able to keep the Tea Party the "Nuts" of the Republican party then... unfortunately metastasized into the MAGA mess it is now... but their efforts along with the preparations made by their Cult leader for a decade that he was on TV... at President P01135809 split his time after 2-4am insane-tweets; to his sleep-in til Noon days watching Fox-News for his message tilt... spend the rest of his days: 33% playing golf; glancing a at cliff-note w-child-pictures daily brief -{if he ever took any time to read it and not just have somebody just tell his lazy-Arce..}
And other the 33-50% of the time his aides were smart-enough to send him around the whites portions of the country to marinate the simmering "Hate/Racism' within the party w-rallies making fun of political rivals encouraging terrorist organizations w/in the USA to be ready willing, and in some cases active agents to keep him in power... Who has worked for this guy and not gone to jail, be under investigation/incitement and readying for jail???? I'm glad Michael Steele continues to be that burn in their side who reminds them what the though used to try to be.......the last15-25% of the time P01135809, he spent making us a laughingstock around the world and nearly destroying NATO and the relationships w-some of our closest allies, trying to Blackmail a President of a country {Ukraine}, who requested our aide, and by his stupidity set in motion a War now 2yrs old...Keep whoing why this man should never be in office again and perhaps spend the rest of his days locked up...
..
Very impressive. Wow!
As a citizen of Memphis, Tennessee Shelby county which is democratic within the state of Tennessee under the governance of a super majority republican party in the governors office, and the state legislator, what is it, that we can do to make a difference to achieve a more balanced representative For all citizens throughout the state?
Karen, you know it is about fostering knowledge and training to develop new politicians which tells politicians we have an alternative.
I would never vote republican for obvious reasons but the republican party in the year 2000 in certain states is entirely different than what we have now. George Bush did surround himself with some extremely smart people.
A man out of time! His heart and mind are from a Republican party long gone.
Brother Steele would it be outside the realm of possibility with the understanding that you have for you to run on the Republican ticket
God bless america .smart man😮😮😮
Michael Steele is an independent thinker. He's not governed by party politics (thank TMH).
We need more people who are intelligent and have enough courage to make the choice of country over politics.
Thanks, Karen Hunter, for having this conversation and giving Mr. Steele the chance to explain his choice!!
That's what we should be doing as voters when we're faced with choosing truth over lies.
🙏🏾🖤💯
The sad part is as long as he was RNC chairman. He “ NEVER “ said anything close to this. Which lets you know the game most blacks who align themselves with the RNC play.
Always follow the money follow where they put it and where they take it from.
People over party
That’s what is meant by “again”
If we let them teach our kids this nonsense about slavery then shame on us
Keller sounds like a 1st class Hypocrite, why didn't those evil people humble themselves.
I wonder how he would explain how in Indian Boarding Schools were trying to convert Native American children. This is sad. None of what they are trying to explain exemplify what Scriptures says. This is disgusting.
To the I’m not sure I vote for the other party,
In the general election, you are eligible to vote for any candidate from any party. It does not matter.
Michael ,we would not have made it to the barrkade...
What about Dr. West?
👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾❤❤
Save america from trump by voting blue in 2024.
Karen, if you have him on again, please ask him this question for me. What is it about "Progressive Liberal values" that he so strongly can not align himself with, to the extent that he refuses to let go of what he thought the Republican party was? Liberals believe in religious freedom. Liberals believe in good government, not zero govt. So, wheres the actual ideological divide for him personally? Seems to me that for the GOP... the only difference is authoritarian vs non-authoritarian versions of these "ideals".
👍👍
We must always evaluate the Black performance on issues, understanding that AA have been TERRORIZED FOR 20 GENERATIONS!
FIRE AND DESIRE! MY NEPHEW SET FIRE TO MY CLOSET! MY SISTER SAID?! OH LITTLE WHO EVA YOU STOP DA car you AINT GOING ANYWHERE!! FIRE BUGS IN FAMILY?
Where are the black banks ?
❤️🖤💚
Bye-Don 2024!
