This caller broke my heart. My father is a disabled combat veteran and he called me yesterday and said that for the first time in recent years he is not participating in his town’s Veterans Day parade because he is so angry and hurt 😢. This election is such a slap in the face to these brave men and women!!!
Apologies to your father and thank him for his service. We have dark days ahead of us. No one should join the US military. Go join Polish foreign legion, or Ukraine Forces, or Finland or another democratic NATO nation. We must support our allies and UKRAINE MUST WIN or we'll all be facing Putin's elevator shoe on our necks.
Whenever Harris was asked any question her response was that she grew up in a middle class family lol. She was horrible on the border and her campaign was even worst. On July 13th Trump dodged a bullet, on November 5th America dodged a bullet....I'm one of the black Trump supporters to blame for Trump's victory and ya'll can thank me later ;)

I so understand this caller. I feel the same way. I am 23 years Retired, 3 time Combat Veteran, Retired Army 1SG. The decision was upsetting but so was it upsetting in 2020. It was hard wearing the uniform and hearing my commander and chief calling my Haitian people dirty and stupid. It’s important for us to STAND together right now. It’s time for us to defend our constitution. It’s our revolutionary time.
As a Veteran it’s not that he’s a draft dodger he disrespected Sen McCain and said he was not a war hero. Sen McCain is one who pushed so hard for us veterans to get the retirement and disability pay we deserve. It’s absolutely insane!
White veterans overwhelmingly support white racism.and supremacy that is a consistent data point. Well over 250 veterans and some active duty white people were at the Capitol Jan 6. Never sleep on historic facts.
I am a USAF veteran and this man broke 💔 my heart. You gave him the best advice for his talk with his daughter I really feel for his son. It is not going to be easy for him to serve under a Commander in Chief that the rest of the world does not respect. My prayers 🙏 to that young man. Great job 👏 Karen!
😢I have a niece in the Air Force as a nurse and she's in it for the long haul. Please 🙏 for her and a nephew of mine, who just "MIA." Thank you all for your prayers.
In the immortal words of Gill Scott Herron and Brian Jackson, we've been "placed on this mountain with a rare chance to see dreams once envisioned by folks much braver than me. But since their lives have brought me to the middle of the mountain, I can't stop and give up on them. Their lights will shine on and inspire us to climb on from all of the places we've been. 💙💙💙

Thank you,Ms. Karen. I'm white, but I love your show and listen all the time. I feel like I need your voice and the voice of all creators of color. I agree with Sarge; my heart is also heavy. I deluded myself into thinking that racism and sexism was not as bad as it is. I also served my country - or the ideal I had of my country, I guess - and I absolutely dissuaded my child from joining the military because of my disappointment. Sarge's call has me in tears and my heart is heavy hearing his voice tremble. I wish peace and love to my brother in arms, my brother in desire for a better America. Your words, Ms. Karen, are a balm upon my soul. I pray that it is upon Sarge's soul as well.
we are losing this people of color mess. and perhaps you should lose this "I'm white" declaration. the division is killing us. let's be human beings and see how that works.
My father refused to go to Vietnam. My cousins uncles and aunts ALL have served, but my dad refused to let me join the Marines he passed last year. 2016 broke his heart. He grew up in Jim Crow Mississippi. Moved during the great migration. He cried and said he was mortified that ALL he fought for and he felt his daughters, his grandchildren will have fewer rights than he did. I feel the same way. I have 2 daughters. One who voted for the first time. I let them know their voice is in their vote. From dog catcher to president. YOUR VOTE MATTERS! the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Change takes a long time, but it does happen
God bless you for your comment about identifying as POC or white. Saying we should come together is correct. I have heard approximately 8-10 Black channels tell whites to not be a part of their channels in any way anymore. Is that not racism also? I deleted those channels as I never go where I am not wanted. It seems to me Trump is getting exactly what he wants. He wants us to be separate and promote hate between races. He is winning again.
No, they need to go to serve, to learn how by training use weapons, follow orders and work together. My son shot in his back in our park by a friend untrained and afraid but having a weapon, cause in Buffalo we were gunned down
Mrs Hunter, the phone call you shared with us of the soldier, was gut wrenching. He is a true patriot that honors freedom and the words of the constitution. The advice that you gave him about his daughter was something that all of us that believe in freedom should embrace. Thank you ❤
Great phone call! It brought some much needed peace to my troubled soul. As a fellow military retiree, no one has ever publicly called me a sucker AND a loser for serving in the Armed Forces, except the President elect of the United States of America. His disdain and colossal disrespect alone should disqualify him from ever serving as Commander in Chief.
Chiming in once again from Warsaw Poland-this was a very important call to share thank you very much for allowing us to hear this man's testimony and thanking both you and him for your service.
I have cried every day since the election..and listening to him .. I cried for the pain I felt for him.. People keep saying God has us..I’m questioning that..
God does have us, that’s why Trump won the election. A bulk of Kamala’s policies were ungodly. Say what you want about Trump but you can’t name one policy he pushes that goes against God.
Sorry to crash the party. Been a black atheist most of my life. If I can just say this. We as humans always wanted some to protect us, someone who will make the way clear for us. And that's ok. We are human. And that's what humans do. But time and time again we, the humans are doing what is needed to get to this point. We should never just hope for the best. We collectively as humans have to put in the work.
As a 21 year military vet myself, my appreciation for this conversation is immeasurable. To the caller, I want you to know that you are not alone in your feeling, as there are millions of us struggling with this right now. Hats off to this Brother, and my eternal thanks for both your service and that of your son!!!
Same here brother! I got turned on to THE Professor Hunter and it keeps me sane! My heart goes out to you cause i could hear the hurt in the caller's voice and it hurt me! "He said talk to me like family", when he spoke of his daughter being hurt and unconsolable...it puts a knot in my throat and tears in my eye's!
I’m so grateful many people taught and prepared me mentally for a lot of things I have learned later in my life so I am not shock but very disappointed with America’s decision.
I kept my same routine after trump was voted in the presidency. I refuse to allow trump to disrupt my life!! He's not worth me getting my blood pressure up or getting depressed!!!
I feel disgusted by America. I go out and no longer make eye contact, don’t initiate conversations, smile, or anything civil. We are the laughing stock of the world.
Now is the time for VP Harris to be out there speaking to all the people who allowed her to capture their hearts. I hope that Biden does not put her back on the shelf.
This was such an emotional and heartfelt call😰! Thanks Karen for your continued wisdom and voice of reason during these perilous times! I’m tuned and locked into this our community; love & light❤️🙌🏿‼️
Unfortunately, MANY military people and first responders have sold their souls to MAGA. It is so good to heart a black veteran who still actually fights for the right things.
God bless you, Professor Hunter! Thank you for sharing this clip. I was moved. And you are exactly right about what you said to this veteran! ALSO...It's NGO time!
Yes, my heart is broken. My ex is retired armed forces. I've lived many places in this world. My youngest is active duty. I feel this gentleman's pain and am keeping a light going because my baby is also now in TX!
How do you fight for something that others don't believe in? America isn't an abstract thing. It's the citizens. So when the citizens aren't worth defending then what? When they reject you and decency then what? What is there left to fight for? Save yourselves folks. This nation is cursed
Thank you for having this conversation! I feel everything this caller is saying. I am a United States Air Force Veteran and I feel ashamed right now. I don’t feel patriotic anymore. I am a black woman who is part of the LGBTQ community. I am afraid and worried about his presidency. I live in a blue state in a blue city. What can I do to make sure I am okay and that the protections in my state are not rolled back? I will be looking to see how I can get in community. Sorry for the rambling! Lot of emotions!
This conversation brought me to tears ... I fought in Desert Storm and now I'm in this Republican State "fighting" for the benefits I'm owed by the VA. They see me as a Black Man, not simply a veteran.
I hope I'm not intruding in the conversation but as an old white Army veteran I have to say I felt his every word. Though I don't have enough military awards to fill a wall in my house I did take my American flag down shortly after learning Trump had won. There is NOTHING...NO THING I can support about this miserable creature. I have 2 Grandchildren (13 and 19) of color whom I love with all my heart. Much like the caller I don't want to alarm or scare them but as their Grandfather I have to be honest with them. We haven't had in depth conversations just yet but as things move along I'm sure the need will arise. Not looking forward to it. I also have a 19 y/o Grandnephew leaving for the service in December. As Trump views our military as his own personal militia I want to have a conversation with my Grandnephew but what can I really say that is beneficial?
As an Army retired non-commissioned officer, I felt that I got punched in the face two times with this Trump win. As a Black women with an adult daughter and a two year granddaughter, I am scared what they are about to endure. As a Veteran, I felt like that I placed my life on the line for this? So, I feel this caller
I love how he asked, "Talk to me like we family." Because we are. That part! We need each other for real. This is why it's happening. People need to see some things. The real hard facts about things they try really hard to ignore. We are all we have. Sadly many of us were deluded and extremely complacent when it comes to this America experience. *Still*! How? Living in low grade terror wasn't enough ? Yet, here we are. As Katt Williams stated, "In 2024 all truth will be revealed. Listen...!
I have added you to my must hear podcast and has not been disappointed since. . Loved this conversation. You nailed it telling him to just say "I Love You". My heart goes out to him .
Just hear this episode today...I, like Sarge, I'm from Ohio and I served for over 23 years and I was shocked that military members and Veterans voted this way. I woke up up on Wednesday feeling empty and heavy. I work at the VA and going into work on Wednesday you could feel the heaviness in the air and makes me look at my co-workers differently. Its going to be a long 4 years.
I left the military when he was first voted in. I could not call him commander in chief. I couldn’t do it. I feel this caller aaaalottttt. It’s so disappointing.
I'm afraid In this case that's the worst advice. This "idiot" hates groups of people. And will have the power and give power to his minions to destroy them/us! Without fear of prosecution! Absolute Power- thanks to the supreme court 🤨. We are way past catchy or creative slogans we are in trouble!
Thank you, for saying “we serve the constitution, not that man!” I am a Federal civilian employee working in a white, male dominated atmosphere and I foresee a difficult future in the office. However, your words hit my core of truth and I am grateful for that new focus. I was feeling extreme despair.❤
I feel it's a test of American resolve. We're so used to considering ourselves to being the exceptionalists, seeing and dismissing the hardship of people in other countries that we consider to be sh!tholes. Now WE, in our apathy and ignorance, have inherited our own sh!thole country, soon to experience those same hardships, so that we might understand and appreciate what we once had, to fight for them and reconsider what's truly valuable in life.
I think the worst part of this heartache and confusion and fear is that the other side actually REVELS in us feeling this way. It’s their choosing obvious evil over good. Dark over light. Backwardness over progress. It’s just sickness and wickedness. And yet they are victims, too. What’s happened to their morality and humanity is a tragedy for them, more so than for us. We have our dignity and have been loyal to the values of good. And right now, at this moment, maybe that alone has to be enough. 🇺🇸
Ms Karen Hunter, I want to thank you for this. This man called with a heart in pain and you gave him salve, by the end of the conversation he sounded stronger. The nation turned its back on a black woman. We will not.😊
I'm not even American and I was horrified at the election results. Unfortunately, re-election of 🟧🤡 will have global ramifications and my own country has sadly its own share of racists, misogynists and homophobes. We will all need to buckle up and strap in for the bumpy ride ahead. Sending you good vibes from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Now that phone call landed as hard as a ton of bricks How could this nation turn so hard away from the potential we still hoped it still had despite its history to a point where the majority of this nation is rejoicing by saying it never had it at all Crazy times ahead MAGA don't expect any sympathy from me
The fact that he was EVEN ALLOWED to run for the highest office or any office said EVERYTHING from the start for me.
It was a selection not an election 😢😢😢
Ultimate white privilege. Obama wore a tan suit in August, and I swear to God I thought they were going to hold impeachment hearings
@@peterdavis8471no Kamala not having a primary was a selection
@@alfordelliott6943 Any reason Republicans didn't sue over this?
Nothing in the constitution says that a convicted felon can't be president. Apparently, lots of people don't know this.

I have added you to my must hear podcast and has not been disappointed since. . Loved this conversation. You nailed it telling him to just say "I Love You". My heart goes out to him .
This is a great awakening. There is no need to be sad and distressed. This is an opportunity for our people.
How is this a great opportunity?
Just hear this episode today...I, like Sarge, I'm from Ohio and I served for over 23 years and I was shocked that military members and Veterans voted this way. I woke up up on Wednesday feeling empty and heavy. I work at the VA and going into work on Wednesday you could feel the heaviness in the air and makes me look at my co-workers differently. Its going to be a long 4 years.
I left the military when he was first voted in. I could not call him commander in chief. I couldn’t do it. I feel this caller aaaalottttt. It’s so disappointing.
Sir, thank you for service I had 4 brothers in the military.
Yall gonna be alright just take a deep breath. Don’t get riled up over something that’s not happening.
The best way to convince an idiot that they're wrong is to let them have their own way. Watch and see what Happens after March 2025
I'm afraid In this case that's the worst advice. This "idiot" hates groups of people. And will have the power and give power to his minions to destroy them/us! Without fear of prosecution! Absolute Power- thanks to the supreme court 🤨. We are way past catchy or creative slogans we are in trouble!
Thank you, for saying “we serve the constitution, not that man!” I am a Federal civilian employee working in a white, male dominated atmosphere and I foresee a difficult future in the office. However, your words hit my core of truth and I am grateful for that new focus. I was feeling extreme despair.❤
I feel it's a test of American resolve. We're so used to considering ourselves to being the exceptionalists, seeing and dismissing the hardship of people in other countries that we consider to be sh!tholes. Now WE, in our apathy and ignorance, have inherited our own sh!thole country, soon to experience those same hardships, so that we might understand and appreciate what we once had, to fight for them and reconsider what's truly valuable in life.
Thank you for your service my Brotha!! For sharing your inspiring call Thank You!!
Awesome. No fear only faith!
Thank you for your service.
Beautiful! 🙏🏾💕
I also served in the military and am disappointed in this country. But I do believe our people will be okay. 1 Samuel 8:7.
Don’t let your son re enlist , bring him home 🇺🇸
I think the worst part of this heartache and confusion and fear is that the other side actually REVELS in us feeling this way. It’s their choosing obvious evil over good. Dark over light. Backwardness over progress. It’s just sickness and wickedness.
And yet they are victims, too. What’s happened to their morality and humanity is a tragedy for them, more so than for us. We have our dignity and have been loyal to the values of good. And right now, at this moment, maybe that alone has to be enough. 🇺🇸
Great conversation between Professor Hunter and the caller.
Ms Karen Hunter, I want to thank you for this. This man called with a heart in pain and you gave him salve, by the end of the conversation he sounded stronger. The nation turned its back on a black woman. We will not.😊
I'm not even American and I was horrified at the election results. Unfortunately, re-election of 🟧🤡 will have global ramifications and my own country has sadly its own share of racists, misogynists and homophobes. We will all need to buckle up and strap in for the bumpy ride ahead. Sending you good vibes from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Now that phone call landed as hard as a ton of bricks
How could this nation turn so hard away from the potential we still hoped it still had despite its history to a point where the majority of this nation is rejoicing by saying it never had it at all
Crazy times ahead MAGA don't expect any sympathy from me
Retired MSgt USAF, the Caller spoke for many of us Black Combat and Combat Support Veterans. Thanks for the video Karen.
well said
