• 0:15
  Speaker 1: the million things, and it's tough. Good it together for
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't join me. You gotta turn you're going to do?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn. You haven't
• 1:43

  Speaker 1: water go. Come come on your bad huh, I sure
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: will A good morning everybody. Y' all listening to the voice,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got a radio show. Man. If y'all only knew, I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: think I'll tell it to you. This morning man started
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: off real crazy. But it's just those little mishaps where
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: we as people who are striving to be successful that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: makes all the difference in the world. When you have
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: those little minor things that come up, you can't let
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the minor things stop you. You've got to keep pressing forward. Now,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Could I have played the role of where is my car?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Where is my car? Oh? Where is my car? Instead
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: of hustling and grab a cab? So what am I?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Am I above a cab ride? Now? Or do I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: have to look at the bigger picture and say okay,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I could act like a little spoiled brat sometimes type
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of star and go I don't ride in cabs, or
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: where's my car? And then go to blaming people for
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not having a car, or do I make the adjustments
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: because ain't like I ain't been in a cab before
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: now slow down. Ain't like I ain't never been in
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a beat up car before. Slow down. Ain't ever like
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I ain't never had a cab and roll the bus
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: before slow down. Ain't like I ain't never been homeless before,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and ain't have nowhere to go? Slow down. So in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: those moments right there, always remember where you come from,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but even more importantly, always remember where you're trying to go,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: because it's important for me that I get here as
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: many mornings as I possibly can. It's important because that's
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the goal. And so many people allowed a minor things
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to stop them on their road to success. And I'm
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: giving you this example today not to say hey, look
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: at me, but to say to you, hey, listening to me.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: They are going to be a lot of things that's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: gonna happen along your way to being successful. And if
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you allow the small things to stop you, there's no
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: way you'll make it. You've got to always press forward
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and stop looking at the situation for what it is
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: and look. Sometimes you have to take your offer right
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: now and put your eye into future. You know, God
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: has blessed me in so many ways. I mean, what
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: can I say? You know, I ask God for the
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: syndicated show. He gives me a syndicated show. Now I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: act like I don't want to come to it. Hold on, man,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: slow down. Did not you ask for this? Do I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: not realize that there are certain people, man, who look
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: forward to this message in the morning. I've heard it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: from people, so from the hundreds that I've heard it for,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that could represent thousands for all I know. So if
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I think somebody's counting on me, I gotta try to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: get there and give something. So today I didn't have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: any time at all to think about what I might say.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I just walked right in and the jingle was playing,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and so I decided to just tell you about my
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: day and maybe you can relate it to something you're
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: going through alone the way, because no matter who you are,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to have some moments man, where things are
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: going to have And like I always tell my kids,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and I just had this conversation with my little girl.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It ain't that things ain't gonna happen. It's how you
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: handle what happens that matters. But it don't matter. It's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: how you handle what happens that's the determining factor on
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: where you get in life and how soon you get
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there and how long you stay there. That will always
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: be a mishap, something that's gonna throw you off. That
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: will always be something man that could deter you. That
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: will be something somewhere, man, that will make you doubt it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Now that you know that's gonna happen, then let's talk
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: about how you handle what happens, because it's going to happen.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So now, what do you do as a person when
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: these moments come about in your life? How do you handle? Oh?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Woe is me? Oh? I guess it wasn't meant to be. Well.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: If the Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: How many deal how many times you hear people say that?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You know, man, it really irks me. Man, Stop using
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: God as your excuse. God ain't no excuse. God is
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a reason. He's a reason why the good happens. He's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a reason. He's not an excuse. God don't have no
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: excuses in none of his scriptures or writings, not that
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I've he just don't make excuses. I would have done this.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But you know there's a scripture that says the poor
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: will all shall always be amongst us. Why that's got
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to be you. Yeah, he said the poor will always
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: be amongst us, because you know, everybody ain't gonna follow
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the principles of success. But he also said he came
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to give you life and give it to you more abundantly.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He said that too, But old, no, you don't want
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to hear that because your life kind of trip it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: out a little bit. So now what you do with it?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Now you twist it and you go to that one
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: little scripture that say, well, the poor shall always be
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: amongst us, Well, that's put in there because that's a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that's auggests in case. See, that's a just in case
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: y'all don't want to follow the scriptures. That's just in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: case you don't understand that faith without works is dead.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That's just in case you have not because you ask not.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's just in case you don't believe in shall not doubt.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: He got all that in there. But in case you
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: don't want to do that. There is a scripture that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: tells you who don't happen if you don't do it,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And here it is the poor shall always be a monster.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But then you get that when they say, well, that's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I guess that's the lord's will, Lord's will, really, really,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: really really, that's amazing. I just don't believe that about him.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that God created your life to be
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a life of misery. I think that we make decisions
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: along the way that cause us to have lives of misery.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But I really really just don't believe that God created
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you for that. I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you know,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta go wild. All those years in prison, Man,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: what was it about? When you hear him speak, you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: understand what it was about. He said he always knew
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: he would be free one day. Now, what he said
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: he never knew was he said he never knew that
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he would be the president of that country. Oh my goodness,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: what a long way around. But he could have sat
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: there and got involved in prison activities that wasn't up
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to pawing things like that. And they said whenever young
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: inmates used to come in, he was telling the story
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: one time of how young inmates used to come into
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the prison. They all sit around and talk to him
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: about what they were doing and how many kids they
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: had in their lives, and it helped them keep track
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of the outside a little bit, and it kept a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: sense of time for them, and it reminded me in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to talk about what they left behind, and it kept
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: them going because something was great on the other side.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Had he allowed that to stop him, had he allowed
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the imprisonment, which is a pretty major deal. Oh, by
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: the way, then guess what he would have never been
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to Nelson Mandela that we know to day, a martyr,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a leader, a great force. People want to go around him.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Even people that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: his faith, his unwavering commitment. They couldn't understand it. So
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: things are going to happen in your life, but it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: how you handle what happens doesn't matter. So keep pushing, y'all.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Don't let the little things get in the way, okay,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And if you just sometimes you just don't know. I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: got in the cab thinking I wasn't gonna make it,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: But at least let's go see. Let's try. I made it. Now.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Guess what that gives me another piece of information that
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I have and all I had to see it again
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to date. Guess what I said today? Man, Sometimes when
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: it looked like you aren't gonna make it, just go
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: ahead on anywhere. Now. I could still be back there
• 9:51

• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the expensive gift and I don't have anywhere to keep
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: dashing gifts jewelry, shoes and clothes or his thing. And
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: my husband knows I don't make that kind of money.
• 27:40

• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Not the lady you have and a man on the side.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And part of the reason why you still dealing with
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: this man on the side is not only cause of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: what he'd do to you, it's also because of what
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: he'd do fund you. So now, no, I'm not gonna
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: help you. No, I'm not gonna tell you you're going
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: to offend him if you ask for just can you're
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: asking for can all right? Thank you? Turn on his
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: investment coming up and say at the top of the hour,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: who will have some entertainment news for you? Right after
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: this you're listening to morning show. ABC has suspended Whoobee
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Goldberg from the View for two weeks after us saying
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: she said that the Holocaust was not about race. Now
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: this is in a statement, ABC News President Kim Goodwin said,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: effective immediately, I'm suspending Wooby for two weeks for her
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: wrong and hurtful comments. While Whoopee apologized, I've asked her
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: to take time to reflect and learn about the impact
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: of her comments. The entire ABC News organization stands in
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: solidarity with our Jewish colleagues, friends, family, and communities who
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: made the comments on Monday's episode of The View during
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a discussion of a Tennessee school boards ban of Mouth,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: a nonfiction graphic novel about cartoonists Art Spiegelman's father's experience
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: surviving the Holocaust. Let's be truthful, will be said. Let's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: be truthful about it because the Holocaust isn't about race.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: It's not about race, It's about man's inhumanity to man.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: The comment was condemned by such Jewish organizations as the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Anti Defamation League and the US Holocaust Museum. So yeah,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: I think what Whoopie was trying to say, but did
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: it the wrong way, because when you don't understand the
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: actual way that people feel about it, the Holocaust was
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: definitely against humanity against man. That definitely was Whoopie Goldberg
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: was using the terms in terms of race in like black, white, Asian.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: She was probably trying to say it that way, that
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: it wasn't about you being an Asian or an African
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: or a Native American. And I think that's what she
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: was trying to say. The problem with this statement is,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: and I love Whoopie Goldberg, man, She's always been a
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: stellar person to me, and I've never heard her say
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: it just and that's why she would apologize because I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: think she was saying it wasn't about race in terms
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of how you can look at a person and know
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: their race, you know, because you got right, but you
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: got race, creed, religion, and uh, that's probably where she
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: meant it. But you know, and I think, you know,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: that's why it's just a suspension because I think that's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: what she was trying to say. I don't know it
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: either way one way or the other. I'm just based
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: on what you just told me right here. But knowing
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the Whoopie Goldberg that I know she gets it. She
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: gets it. Yeah, yeah, because her and I have had
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a conversation because I do not understand any rift between
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Blacks and Jews. I just don't understand any rift there
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: because if any two people should understand anybody, right, Yeah,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I would think those two groups. That's why I don't.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't get a rift between African Americans and Native Americans. Yeah,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Whoopy said what she should have said, Steve, this is
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: what Whoopie said. I should have said. It is about both.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: The Jewish people around the world have always had my
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: support and that will never waiver. I'm sorry for the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: hurt I've caused. So she said it should have been
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: about man's in humanity to man, and she says it
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: should have been about both, but she did not say that,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: but it was. It was. I mean, seriously, it was
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: one of the most inhumane things. Those two things, the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Holocaust and slavery. Jesus go to both of those museums
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. Go to both of those, and you
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: are devastated. I'm telling you, tom Me, those oh my
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: greatest atrocities against a people. But I've gotta tell you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: something else too, though, man. And this is crazy because
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Shirley turned me on to the series Yellowstone. She's been
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: telling me to watch Yellowstone. I finished all four seasons,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: all right, because it's stop. That's all I do. I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: don't watch it. Ain't no sports on TV yet. You know,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: super Bowl ain't here. Yeah, you know. I watched the
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: games and I go back to Yellowstone. I don't like
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: basketball season too. After the All Star Game, so you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I got time Yellowstone. What they did to Native Americans,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I'm listened to me, man, And I put that up
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: there because I was never thinking about it. But the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: atrocity against Africans, against Jews, and against Native Americans, Oh
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: my god, what they did to Native Americans. Man, it
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: was unthinkable what they've done and what they continued to do.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: But what they continue to do to black people is
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: unthinkable too. I've never seen it. Man. This country has
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: done so many things to people. What did the guys
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: say on Yellowstone? He said, what is fair? The little
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: boy on Yellowstone? In the final episode. He said, but
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: that's not fair, because he was telling what happened to
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the Native Americans. He said, what happened was he said,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: he said, while they're not anymore buffalo, he said, because
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: they wanted to kill the buffalo. And so Kevin Constant,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: he said, the little boy said why they want to
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: kill the buffalo? And he stopped and he said, here's
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the truth. Because the Indians lived on the buffalo. They
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: followed the buffalo. The buffalo was their life blood. If
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: they got rid of the buffalo, they would get rid
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: of the Indian. So they would just send troops out
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: to just kill buffalo. Just kill him, kill him, kill him,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: kill him, kill him, kill him, kill him, so that
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: the Indians wouldn't have a life blood. I'm sitting here
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: going listen to this. And the little boy said, that's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: not fair. He said, you know what fair is when
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: a person does something to you and then you can't
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: do nothing about it and you have to just accepted.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: He said, that's what fad is. I would I'll be damned,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: And that's America's definition of fair. That's right, all right.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Steve's coming up at twenty minutes after the hour Bomb
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: threats at HBCUs. We'll talk about it right after this.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: You're listening to show here we are in Black History Month,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: and you got to ask the question, what's going on
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: a growing number of historically black colleges and universities have
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: had to lock down or postpone classes due to bomb threats.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: At least thirteen HBCUs have reported bomb threats. It is scary,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: it is horrifying. According to USA Today, there are calls
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: for federal law enforcement to investigate. Homeland Security is providing
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: President Biden with updates. I mean, this country, with these
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: constant racially violent threats is just unbelievable. Everywhere you go.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Our children can't go to school, they can't go to
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: the universities without being terrorized. And again, this is just
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the beginning of Black History Month twenty twenty two. It's
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: it's the country we live in. It's the United States
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of America. I mean, look, I was watching something online
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the other day. I don't think it was on d
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: L side of somebody's side. There was a white guy
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: on there ranting and raving that white people are the
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: most discriminated against group of people in the world. And
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: that was his claim that was his rant. The moment
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: something happens to them, it's a catastrophe. But stuff can
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: happen to other people repeatedly, over and over and over
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: and nothing being said. If they get a moment, not all.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: But if there are some whites who if they get
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: a moment to point a single incident that they can
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: say it's discrimination, Oh, here it comes. It's a national
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: atrocity affirmative action. Where they started saying you had to
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: hire a certain amount of black people. I've been on
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: a job interview where a guy told me, oh one.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: As soon as I said down, he said, I'm just
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I'm here for the job interview. He said,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: we feel our quota already. We don't have to hire
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: any more blacks. He told me that. Wow, in the seventies,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: he told me that I got him. Walk my ass
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: right up out of that. We don't have to hire.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to hear how it was best for
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the job. I've been telling you right here, we have to.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: We've dealt with church bombings. They come into our place
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: of religion. They had our schools bombing right now. They
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: got the Willie Lynch letter. After slavery, they found a
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: way now where if a black person can't show employment,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: they get imprisoned right after slavery. So now they can
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: put you in these concentration and get free labor out
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: of you. Anyway, we didn't even pass the Voters Rights
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Act this year. Happy Black History Month, man, miss me.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: All right, coming up at thirty four minutes after the hour,

• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the man. And I'm literally going through this like right now,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: like where a guy came into my life with somebody
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: who I knew from high school. Trusted him out of nowhere.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: He's just like guy that didn't gonna work. And I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: want to go back to the point of did you
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: know that I was quote unquote too much when you
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: came into my life? Because mind you, a lot of
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: times men will set up this facade of women to
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: be attentive and women who will be supportive and listening,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and then once that woman started exercise and not support
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: now it's too much. Now you can't uphold it. It's like,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: why are you showering me and candy talking to me
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: all this week? And then you play you don't want
• 39:35

• 39:41
  Speaker 1: a last glorious day. Wow, very well said young lady. Here,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: let me help you with this part right here. You
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: gotta understand, when you enter into a relationship with the man,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: for the first two weeks, you're going to meet the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: most attentive, best representative of himself you could possibly meet.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Most dudes have got the two week game mastered, what
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: to say, how to be because you can, as you
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: use the word facade, you can keep up a facade
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: for two weeks two weeks. It's two weeks is really good.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: It's hard to do that over ninety day stretch. No,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: it really is hard to pull that off over a
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: ninety day stretch. It's been done, but it's harder. And
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: so to protect yourselves women, before you give into this,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: oh my god, this is too good to be true.
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: You have to develop the questions and the test to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: find out early if it is too good to be true.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And that's why I created the ninety day rule. All right, Stephen,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: we have another call from a woman about men being
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: the provider. I just heard you say, Steve, I got
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: to tell end that women wants security. When a man
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: meets a woman is game on. I'm really sick of
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: women who look for security and a man. The word
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: says God bless a child who has their own. No,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: that's not in the word, but the saying goal, God
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: bless the child that has his her own. And also
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the word does say if a man wants to eat,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: he has to work. If a man don't work, he
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: don't eat. That goes for a one man. Also, I've
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: never looked for a man to be my security. God
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: has been my source. I just retired from my job.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: After forty two years, God has blessed me to take
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: care of myself. I'm so sick and tired of women
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: who look to a man to take care of her.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: What I want from a man is loyalty, love, understanding, communication.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: I want to believe that I can believe in him
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: because I want to. I don't get with a man
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: because of what he can do for me. Never have,

• 42:05
  Speaker 1: in a man is security. But the things you describe
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: that you want are forms of security. Loyalty is security.

  Speaker 1: Here it is Strawberry Letter. Subject caught on camera. Dear
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley, I'm a forty two year old married woman,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: but I've separated from my husband. I've been married four
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: years and I was in a long distance marriage because
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: my husband works almost three hours away. He was offered
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: a job that he couldn't refuse, so I told him
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: to take it with him being out of town during
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: the week. I got a home security system installed with
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: four cameras. I put one camera in the basement and
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: one in the main living area, one at the back door,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: and one at the front door. I put the alarm
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: app on my phone so I could watch the cameras
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: while I was at work. On a Tuesday, about a
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: month ago, I was at work and I got an
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: alert that the alarm was going off. Then it was reset.
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: It sent chills up my spine because I was the
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: only one in town and the only person that could
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: have reset my alarm. I looked at the cameras and
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I saw my husband in our basement and a woman
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: was with him. The woman sat down as my husband
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: went upstairs. He came back minutes later with his garment bag.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Then he kissed the woman and they walked out the
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: basement door. I called him, and he lied and said
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: he was at work and about to go to lunch
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: and he would call me back. I told him to
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: quit lying because I know he's in town and he
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: had a woman in our house. I asked him why
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: he didn't tell me he was in town, and why
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: he would bring a woman into my house. He hung
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: up on me. That night, he called and said he
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: had a business event to attend, so he needed his tucks,
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: and he used the basement door out of respect for
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: me so the woman wouldn't be all over our home.
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: He said he was going to take some time away
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: from me to work on himself. It has been almost
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: a month since he's reached out to me, so I
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: filed for a legal separation. Still no word from him.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Is my marriage over? Yes? I'm sorry, but it is.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: It's over. I mean he was caught red handed on tape. Period.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: Everything you saw in that camera was true and real,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: no matter what lies He thought of later and told
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: you he had a dinner to go to so he
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: needed a text. He had a business event to attend,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: so he needed a tech, and he didn't want the
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: woman all over your house. Lies. Lies, lies, lies, lies.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: It's evidence clearly in his behavior that you saw on tape,
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: not what he says, So don't let him play you.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Do not be fooled. He came back to town. He
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: didn't tell you, brought another woman to your house, kissed
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: her in your house, and then they left out together.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: You're his wife. He completely disrespected you. He betrayed your trust.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry you had to see this and
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: that you had to go through this. He's wrong. You
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: did a good thing by filing for a separation. I say,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: just go on and finish up the deal, file for
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: a divorce. He was hardly ever there anyway, and he's
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: not coming back. You haven't heard from him for a month,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: So I say, good out now, Steve. I really don't
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: understand this letter. I'm sorry. I don't caught on camera
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: to what we're talking about. Yeah, what's what's the letter for?
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: It starts off with I via stuff in it to me,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Stephen Sherley. I'm a forty two year old married woman,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm separated from my husband. Now. Curiously, in this letter,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: she never said why she was separated from her husband.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: But I'm separated from my husband. We all know what
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: that means. And then she says I've been married four years.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: It was and I was in I was, so this
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: separation is what they've decided. I was in a long
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: distance marriage because my husban husband works almost three hours
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: away and he was offered a job he couldn't refuse,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: so I told him to take it now, with him
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: being out of town, doing the weakest woman to put
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: a camera system in the house in the basement, the
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: front door, the back, doing all this hill and now
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: while he was at work on Tuesday, about a month ago,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: she ain't got an alert on the lawn was going off.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Then it was reset, As she said, send chills up
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: her spine because I was the only one in town
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: and the only person that could have reset my alarm,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: where you're not the only person that could reset the
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: alarm because he got reset. I looked at the cameras
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: and I saw my husband in our basement and a
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: woman was with him. The woman sat down as my
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: husband went up stairs. He came back minutes later with
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: this garment bag. Then he kissed the woman and they
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: walked out the basement door. I called him, and he
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: lied and said he was at work and about to
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: go to lunch and he would call me back. That
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: was the lie he told. That was the only lie
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: he told in this letter shell. Because I'm going to
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: surprise you. I'm going to surprise you, Shell. I told
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: him to quit Lyne because I know he was in town.
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: He had a woman in our house, and I asked
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: him why he didn't tell me he was in town
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: and why he would bring a woman into the house.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: He hung up on me. That night, he called me
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: and said he had a business event to attend, so
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: he needed his tucks and he used the basement due
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: out of respect for me, so the woman wouldn't be
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: all over the house. He said he was gonna take
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: some time away for me to work for himself. It's
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: been almost a month since he reached out to me,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: so I filed for divorce. Still no word of him,
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: and as my marriage over legation. Yeah, she filed for
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: legal separation. Shirley, you were saying that he lied about
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: coming home with the tucks and all like this like him, Well,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: he was on camera. He never denied that after he
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: found out he was on camera. But the reason he
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: came in the house could have very well been true.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: To get the tuxedough, No, that's really going because all
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: they did was kissing, go out the dope. It could
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: have been a tuxedo. It could have been a business meeting.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: He told her the truth. The problem is the truth
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough. Yeah, the fact I mightn't even tell her
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: he was in town. Oh I got more. Okay, all right,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: we'll have part two of your response coming up at
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject of today's strawberry
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: letter caught on camera. We'll get back into it right
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: after this. You're listening show, All right, Come on, Steve,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is caught on camera.
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: Caught on camera, says it all. This woman put all
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: these cameras in her house. Her and her husband are
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: currently separated. She gets an alert on her phone that
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: says the candle alarm has been reset. Well, she's thinking
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: her husband out of town, but he's in town. She
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: looked on the cameras. He in the basement with a woman.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: She calls him. He kisses her and walks out with
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: a garden back. He calls her and asked where he
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: had He say he at work, fit to go to lunch.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: He lied, he lied, So she called him up and said, no,
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: you wasn't. I saw you in the house with this
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: woman and you kissed her. Click. He hung up he
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: hung up because he was off balanced, because he needed
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: to regroup. So he's busted. Yes, So now he calls
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: back that night and said, all right, hit the deal.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: I was in town. I had a business meeting to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: go to, so I needed to come home and get
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: my tux seed though, and out of respect for you,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: I didn't want this woman all over the house, so
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I came through the basement. Though. That's the truth, because
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: he wasn't denying that there wasn't a woman at the house.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: He wasn't denying he didn't picks up. He only left
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: with a garment bag that was probably the tuxedough and
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: it was probably business me. He did not lie to her.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: The problem is the truth. You should believe the truth.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: You saw it. Shirley's right. This marriage is over. Is
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: my marriage over? And you haven't heard from him in
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: a month, but I bet she has. Oh yeah, hell yeah,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: he's wrong, Dad. Wrong. Is not her fault in any way.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: But now that you know the truth, what you're gonna do.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: It's time to move on. Is my marriage over? Yes,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: it's over. So let me show you something. This has
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the letter Shirley or calling anybody
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: ask me a question, and I'm gonna show you how
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: to lie. The sheer lying capability. Watch watch the quickness
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: and creativity. Okay, Shirley, you and I are in a relationship.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Ask me anything, and I'm not gonna tell you the truth.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: I don't care how simple anything it is. Go ahead
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: on your hair. That No, that's a patch right there.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: I had that put on. I was trying on a
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: half piece and I left some glue on it. And
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: that's the glue from that hals from blue Quick where
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: it come so natural to you? Next question, we're in
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: a relationship. Did you did you drive your car to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: work today? No? I drove it, parted away and then
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: I dropped it off at the Jiffy lou And and
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: then I took I took a ubon in the work
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: and I just go back around now and are you
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: Are you planning on working out today? I'd love to
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: work out with you. Oh no, I ain't gonna be
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: able to work out today because I tweaked my back
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: because when I was leaving the Jiffy Jiffy Lube, I
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: slipped in some all tied boy tied in that's what happening.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: That's you know, and it's so unnecessary. You will lie
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: when the truth will do? What? What? What? What? What? Why? Not?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: But why can't you just tell the truth because you
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: had to practice this in case you really need it.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: We can handle the truth. Oh no, you can't the
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: way we handle Oh no, you can't. If you can't
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: handle our reaction to your truth, you're a lie. Couldn't read?

• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: you have? Yeah, we gotta have wings. You. I'm gonna
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: call Rick Ross up. I'm probably gonna be I'm gonna
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: probably do thighs. Yeah, you got, you got, you got connections.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: You got to worry about wing. You know some of
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: these wing places. I've never been to Ross's wing place,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: so I ain't talking about that, but I've go to
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: some wing places and they wings be real, real, little
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: extra crunches don't be no better than a real big
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: though dog that's ready. That's better than being don't Yeah,
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: are you saying they're not chicken? Wings? Animal? I don't
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: want to be confused with eating chicken or pigeons. You know,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: all right, Junior, thank you. Coming up at the top
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: of the hour, we'll talk about more sports. Former NFL
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: coach accuses the league of racial discrimination. We'll get into
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: it right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Okay, So Steve, what is the problem with
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: the NFL and not hiring black coaches. I'm sure you
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: have some ideas on that, and this is the league
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: that's dominated by black players. Of course, we all know
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: that now. Former Miami's Dolphin coach Brian Flores has filed
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: a proposed class action lawsuit against the NFL and three
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: of its teams, alleging racial discrimination. In the documents filed
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: on behalf of Flores in Manhattan Federal Court, the former coach,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: who was fired by the Dolphins despite a winning season,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: he that in mind too, it was a winning season,
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: contends that his interview with the Giants was nothing more
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: than a move to satisfy the Rooney Rule, which now
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: requires teams to interview at least two external minority candidates
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: for all head coaching vacancies. Flora said that the league
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: is racially segregated and the NFL is managed like a
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: plantation boom. I mean, he goes on to say stuff
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: about the the owners sitting in their luxury suites on
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: days and the players get have to take vicious hits
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: and suffer debilitating injuries to their bodies and their brains,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: while the owners make billions of dollars. Uh, there's a lot. Well,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: the NFL has a problem now because it's a class
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: action lawsuit and it has to be addressed. You can't
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: you can't just shoot this under the rug. The other
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: problem is that maybe some other people that's gonna come
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: out the wood working sign up for this. Brian Flores
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: will never coach in the NFL again. But because because no,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: because of the brother. Let me ask you a question.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: Have you seen Colin Kaepernick throw another pass in the NFL? Dog?
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: Once you go up against that shield, you're finished. Now.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: They paid Colin, and Floren's gonna get he gonna get paid.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: But it's gonna be some years though, and they're gonna
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: wait until this ain't a major story anymore. But you
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: know what, man, I should post my comedy routine I
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: wrote for NFL Honors because I wrote a huge joke
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: about this, because I decided two years ago to dress
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: it with human and I cut a deal with the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: NFL on behalf of the black players. And I was
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: I was cutting deals with them, like, you know, just
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: give us certain things, man, and we'll be willing to
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: exchange it for y'all. Like if you give us one
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: white place kicker and holder, because you've never seen that
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. We gonna give y'all two cornerbacks. And
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: I wrote it as a joke, and the audience was
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: dying laughing, but it was to a rest the seriousness
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: of the issue that's in the NFL. It always has
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: been an issue and always will continue to be. Now,
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: these owners are all white men, billionaires. We got that. Yeah,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: but I can't knock you for being that. I can't
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: knock you for owning a franchise. I can't knock you
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: for trying to run it as a business. The problem
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: is you're hiring practices. It doesn't represent your league, and
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: we're the only that's the only sport that doesn't represent
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: the makeup of the league. If you look at basketball,
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: basketball does a lot better job of hiring black head
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: coaches and black coaches and to fit any thing. Hockey
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: don't have that problem. Coach well, yeah, yeah, it ain't.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: But a few black hockey players. Hockey don't have that problem.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: Baseball has done a better job of hiring and representative
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: on the field. The football has not done a good job.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: In the Rooney rule where you have to hire two
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: minority candidates for every head coaching job has still not
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: resulted in any more coaches being high. As a matter
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: of fact, since the Rooney rule is less. I want
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: and it's just I want to believe this guy will coach.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: I want to hope that he will coach again. In
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: oh Now, come on, part We'll have more of the
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at twenty minutes after

  Speaker 1: some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: right after this. You're listening to Steve Morning Show. Here
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: we are, guys, our last break of the day on
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: this Thursday. It's been a good day, yes, man. Yeah,
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: learned a lot, shared a lot, laughed a little bit,
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: you know. Um, you know it's kind of funny. Man.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: As I've gotten older, you know, somebody works in me
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: was saying, man, you keep talking about this sixty fifth birthday?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: What's up with that? And I was just because I'm
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: just so appreciative of the milestone, you know, because it's
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: just like it's not like I didn't see it coming
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 1: or I didn't believe I'd get here. It's just that
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: I remember being younger thinking sixty five was I couldn't
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: even imagine it. I couldn't even think about it because
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: it just seemed so far. I was twenty, I was think,
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: sixty five, what are we talking about that for but
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: you know what it got here? Do you know when
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: I was forty, man, I was giving very little thought
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: to being sixty five, But you know what it got here?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: I was fifty. I really hadn't given too much thought
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: to being sixty five, but it got here. Y'all. You
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: gotta start making decisions today based on the fact that
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: it's coming, that it's going to get here. You know what,
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: too many people do, too many too many people make
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: right now decisions based on today, like there's no future
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: at all. But listen to me, that's a strong possibility
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: that it will get here. And so even though we're
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: not to weary ourselves about the future, you do have
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: to give credence to the fact that one day it
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: could get here. And so you can't make decisions based
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: on jess right now today. On the other hand, let
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: me say this about that what makes it hard for
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: people to become successful is because they understand and they
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: allow this to come into play. I can't see myself
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: all the way through. You have an ambition to be
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: a millionaire, you just can't imagine how to make the million,
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: and so that daunting task freezes most people from doing
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: the one action they could do, which is take the
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: step today. But if you're trying to see your way
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: all the way through, it freezes you because you don't
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: know how to get all the way through. There's a
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: story in this book, the Fox, the Hound, the horses
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: and the boy, something like anyway, this boy and this
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: horse is walking through the woods, and the boy says,
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: I can't see I can't see all the way through,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: you know, because they had to walk through this force.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: And the boy told the horse, I can't see all
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: the way through. The horse said to the boy, look down.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: Can you see your next step? He said, yeah, he said,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: take that one, Just take that one. That's what I've
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: learned in my life, y'all, that even though I didn't
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: really see sixty five, I would always take the step
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: to at least just get to tomorrow. I couldn't see
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: myself all the way through. I'm gonna be honest with you,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: the life that God has me with. I did not
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: see this coming, not fully. I wanted some things along
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: the way, but it's no way I saw this. He's
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: just been too good to me. He's been overly good
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: to me. That's how I know it's grace, because really, man,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: if you think about it, you know, stop thinking you
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: deserve something all the time, because you really don't, because
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: you deserved it. If we all got what we deserved,
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: we'd all be in trouble, all of us, all of you.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: I don't care how righteous you think you are, own,
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: how saved you claimed you are, how holy ghost spilled
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: all this here. If we all got what we deserved,
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: all of us would be in trouble because fate back
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: on some of the decisions that we made that could
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: have really really went the other way, and God, just
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: through his grace and mercy and favor, just didn't let
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: it go as far left as it could. He just
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: gave you a break. So stop thinking that you deserve
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: all that you have, because you don't. I've lived a life,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: I've tried to work out, eat, health and everything. But
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: me getting to sixty five was God's grace. And you
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: know how I knew it was because I know some
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: real healthy people that ain't here no more. I know
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: some people who could run faster than me, jump higher
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: than mere, stronger than me in the gym and everything,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: and they not hear no more. I know some men
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: who were in far better shape than I am today,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: and they're not here anymore. Do I deserve to be here?
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not based on everything I've done, but through God's
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: grace and mercy and favor, I'm here. So I'm saying
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: about three different things in this closing remark, So let
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: me sum it up for you. Stop trying to see
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: your way all the way through and just take the
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: next step. And every time you take a step, pray
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: to God and ask God for guidance, wisdom and understand it,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: and that'll help you make the next step. Stop thinking
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: that you deserve everything because you don't. Because if all
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: of us got what we truly deserve, I think we
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: all if you were honest, because I did some things
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: when I was young man that have I If I
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: had got caught doing it, I wouldn't be here today.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: I made some decisions when I was young that if
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: I paid the full price for it, my life would
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: be another guy. If you didn't like this one, see
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: you tomorrow. I'll have another talk to God he loved
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: to hear from for all. Steve every contests no purchase necessary,
