• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I come on dignity, naw one, it only Steve Harley
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: got a radio show. I was. I had my head
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: down and it was thinking of what I wanted to
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: say this morning. But it kind of it's kind of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: be something I've lived for a long time, and you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: for a long time, you know, I had a lot
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: of faith in people. You know. It's strange too, because
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, my mother was a Sunday school teacher,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: so of course I grew up around it, knowing the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: scriptures and things like that. Not not a lot of them,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but you know, the ones I retained. But having her
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: as a mother was was a huge help and understanding
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: about faith. But even with that, as I grew up,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I began to put a lot of faith in people.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, I figured, you know, just like everybody else,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, man if I could just meet this person,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: or if I could just sit down with that person,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: or man if I could just get this person to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: hear my ideal, or man if if this person could
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: hear my track, or man if I could just get
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this in the hands or somebody in the know. I was,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like everybody else, I thought that way. You know, I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: actually thought that if I could get in a certain
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: situation with a certain person, that if a certain person
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: were to meet me, that you know, it could change
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: everything for me. Oh man, Oh how wrong I was?
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Oh how wrong I was? How long did I spend
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: feeling that way? And how many of you out there
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: possibly have felt that way before? You know, like even
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in a relationship, this is the person for me, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you just lay claim to that, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: not necessarily being a fact, but you just lay claim
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to it. This is the person for me, This is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the person that I want to spend the rest of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: my life with. You know, sometimes you know, we just
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: lay claim to stuff and it's not always what's in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: our best interests, or it's not always a fact. It's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: just what we decided we want it. And I was
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: guilty of that, just like anybody else. And I spent
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of years in my life putting faith in people. Man,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: if I could tell you anything this morning, it's to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: stop putting your faith in people and put your faith
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: in God where it counts the most. I mean, you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: can get something out of this one. See, here's a
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: deal about a relationship with God. It's the same all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the time. He never changes. His word is one absolute.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: His word doesn't have loopholes in it, none of that.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It's this is what it is. He's very clear. Now,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you can deviate off your end at a bargain, but
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: it don't stop what he says from being true. But
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: if he asks you to do something, if God asks
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: you to be a certain way, to do a little
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: something a certain way, and you don't do it that way,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: then you know you could still possibly get by for
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a while. But don't you understand that his end of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: the deal stays the same, and as long as you're
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: not doing it the way you're supposed to, the results
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: are not going to be what you wanted to be.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And I did this for years and years and years,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and I counted on people, and you know, I got
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: myself in a lot of situations. And I got out
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: one a dire situation that I'd been in for a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: number of years. But he had protected me from years
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: prior to that. I didn't even know what was going on,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and then he made it away. It made me aware
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of the problem. And then, man, lord ha mercy, I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: was in a dismal situation. And then at the end
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of the year, I was free, free from it all.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But it was a decision that I had made that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: led up to that, and in going through that process,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I had to learn something. Man. I learned a lot
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: about people. See, if you want to learn about your friends,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: if you want to learn about your people people around you,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Get yourself in some trouble, get yourself in a situation. Oh, man,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you start looking around. Man, the field get real clear
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: when you're in trouble. The field clear is out when
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you're in doubt, when you don't know what to do,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: when you need help, it get real clear on the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: play and field, then don't it. Oh, But when things
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is going right, it's time for a party we throw
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in a celebration. We were gonna we're gonna do one
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: down here. Oh man, there's plenty of people on the field.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: But but but get yourself in a situation. You find
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: out rather quickly that old no, old no, everybody ain't here.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And that's when I started learning. And I'm telling you,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I had to start learning this for real until I
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: finally got it to stop putting my faith in people
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and put all of mine in God where it counts
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the most. Now is that to say that there are
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: people that you can't trust. No, that's not what I'm saying.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I ain't say you can't trust him, but you can't
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: dump your faith in him. I got it all riding
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on what he say. I got it all riding on
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what she say. Na, Na, No, I hear you saying it.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna keep my own on this situation because
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I hear you saying it. But I'm gonna take this
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: faith of mine and instead of putting it in people,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in God where it counts the most.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Because his word is absolute. What he say he gonna do,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: he gonna do what he says. He's not gonna tolerate.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: He's not gonna tolerate. Now, you can make it, you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: can make it tolerable for yourself, but he's not gonna
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: tolerate it. And that's just the end of the line.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And so you know, I'm wondering how many people out
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there finding themselves in a situation like me, or maybe
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: you've gotten yourself in a situation because you put your
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: faith in some people and now you wound up in
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a different type of situation. Now, let me ask you
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: whetting people that the only one that I found when
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I was in my deepest trouble, when me and my
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: wife were in our darkest situation, was God. Is the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: only one, was the only one who was just right there,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: right there, all the way through. Now, let me explain
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: something to you. Because you have this relationship with God,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: it does not mean, it does not mean now that
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it won't get it won't still be a situation, you understand.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But what He will do is protect you during that period.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: He'll cover you during that period that it is a situation.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: He will give you the strength to overcome the situation
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: when it turns into a situation. Then when he cracks
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: it open for you and the sun is bright and shining.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: What he don't want you to do is when he
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: gets sunny again, to forget about him, who was there
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: when it was dark for you. See, I used to
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do that too, you know I was Oh, man, I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: did it. I'm telling you right now, I did it.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you man, when I learned a very
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: serious lesson and I watched some people I thought were
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: friends of mine just sort of casually remove themselves from
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: the situation. Then I said, okay. Me and Margie looked around.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: We said okay, it's just me, you and God, and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: we started conducting ourselves accordingly. So when it's sunny for us,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we remember God. We stay prayerful, we keep talking to him.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: We thank him for the sunshine, we thank him for
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the dark days that he allowed us to do, who
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: allowed us to survive it and turn it into sunny days.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: And we talked to him constantly to protect us of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: our future enemies. And that's what the deal is. So
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: if I was everybody, I would stop putting your faith
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in people and put your trust in God where it
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: really does count the most, It really really does. You're listening,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, man, I have your attention please, as
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I always ask for on a daily basis, but as
• 10:07

• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for your attention. I do not let you down once
• 10:13

• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a thirty two minutes after the hour, I will

  Speaker 1: do some asked Steve too for his birthday before his
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: birthday right after this. Yeah, you're listening to show time
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: now for asked Steve. Okay, Steve, here's a question from
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Sonia in Detroit. Okay. Sonia is from Detroit. From our
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Homestation Mix ninety two three, she says, Dear Steve, I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: live with my mother because I've been ill and I'm employed.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I recently purchased a lottery ticket and wrote my mother's
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: name on the back because she has better luck than me.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Now it turns out that the ticket was a winning ticket,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: but she is not giving me the money. My Christian
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: mother does not believe in gambling, but now that I won,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: she wants to keep the money for herself. I can't
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: believe that. What should idea say? That's the loveliest question.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: When is it a rule where it's the law that
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Christians don't gamble. I be in a Vegas man and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a Christian myself, I must hold your mother's rule that
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: she may not go to gamble, but Christians have a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: tendency to gamble. Next point I think is your mother.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It depends to see. Obviously, this is not a huge
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: ticket where it's like megaball several hundred million. This is
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: one of the tickets pick three. She wants some money.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you might y'all might have won ten thousand,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: five thousand maybe something like that. Yeah, that's a nice
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: chunk of jack. Now here's the deal. You just said
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: that you wrote your mama's name on the back of
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the ticket. She had more luck. And obviously you told
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: your mama that you wrote her name on the back
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: of the ticket. Now here's my other question, and here's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: three things. Like him. You've been staying with your mother
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: because you ill, and you ain't working. So now when
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: you about the ticket, were you able to lead a
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: house and buy the ticket? Or where your mama outside? Where?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And now if your mama bought this ticket and rolled
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: her name on the back of it, you damn write.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Your mama ain't giving you nothing. If you want to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: lay claim to the money, your mama probably figure you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: old hull. You stand at her house and you ain't working,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: eating groceries and you're using this juice bill electricity is
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you hit a lot of new No, that's that's that's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: cold electric hood electrician and don't cut your juice off. Okay,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So now hang that she's so bush. So now that's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: why your mama it's not giving you the money and
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it ain't really nothing you can do about it. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: she's still a Christian because she wasn't a real good Christian.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: She to put your hands out. You're right, you have
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: some place to live. Girl. So there's there's two things
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you need to know. Two slogans that Christians have developed.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: It's Christian light as a bill, which is what I am.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I'm Christian Light. And then the one that your mother's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: probably using is Christianity has its privileges, a bill slogan
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: and a credit card slogan, and your mama is using both.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: She wants to know what should she do, though, ain't
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: damn what she's gonna do. She can't put out she
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: too sick to hell. Yeah, if you say something, you
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: can't you can't go to work. You're sick. You and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: your Mama's what you're gonna say. You're gonna mess around
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and get put out with your little three thousand dollars.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Your mama been sick of you for a while, she
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and do now you got grown and you're sick and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: out of work. I'm sick in this hell. The letter
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: sounds like she's well though she's fully recovered. Actually it does.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously her mamma is well. Up. Man's about this money?
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: So what right? Hey? You you run over there on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: big doors if you want to big doors. Next question,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: but this money? Next question? All right, okay, this is
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: pre birthday ignorance. Yeah, okay, what are your plans? What
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: are you? Tomorrow is your birthday? What are your plans

• 29:07
  Speaker 1: his brand new book, Conversations in Black on Power, politics
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: and leadership. But first, in today's entertainment news, I've every
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: on Mississippi Monica has been following this crazy story. This
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: is horrific right here, Yoga Monica was in the news.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Well, she's been following this story and she
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I thought she meant she was a reporter on Well
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: we go live right now, she's been Yeah, we didn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: do that because she is the mouth of the South.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Yes she is. Yes, So check it out yoga one
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: more time. STI. He nailed that, all right, So Yogatti,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: David Banner, and other celebrities are fighting injustices in the
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: prison system in Misssissippi. Jay Z's Rock Nation and its
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: high powered attorney Alex Spiro will represent the prisoners after
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: spike and deadly violence at several Mississippi state prisons and
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to fight deplorable prison conditions. The lawsuit filed on Tuesday
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in federal court. They have been There have been at
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: least five prisoners who have died in Mississippi. In the
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: maximum security prison, Parchment doesn't have enough mattresses for the inmates,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: cells are covered in black mold, and ross sewage is
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: spilling onto the floors. The prison allegedly has a serious
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: water problem too. In the lawsuit, Team Rock Nation claims
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: the drinking water for inmates repeatedly fails to meet federal
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: standard safety standards. Also, according to the lawsuit, inmates are
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: exposed to serious harm and left unprotected because there just
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: aren't enough prison guards. Yogatti, David Banner, other community leaders
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: are demanding that Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant make changes or
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: face a lawsuit. The suit seeks damages for the inmates
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and an order and an order from Mississippi's Department of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Corrections to lay out a plan to address all of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: these issues, especially increasing staff and cleaning up sewage. Uh
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Yogatti said, the lives of countless individuals in Mississippi prisons
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: are at stake, and we will not stop until this
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: is fixed. So shout out to them. Yeah, man, I
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: really do hope this is effective. I really really do,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: because these are things that read really need to be addressed. Look,
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: if a person commits a crime, everybody in prison, first
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of all, is not guilty. Everybody in prison has not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: received fair punishment befitting the crime. Let's just be honest
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: about this. There are some people doing some time for justice.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Out and out racism. Yeah, now we know that racism exists.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: It's hard to get these systems to admit to it.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: So what we need, man, is for things like this
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: to really get behind it. So instead of going to
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: social media with the means and the ignorant statements about
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: what could be wrong, making fun of the water, these
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: are human beings who a lot of them are doing
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: their time, but their time doesn't have to be a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: living hell, right, they should just do their times. Not
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: having drinking water and sewage facilities, I can't tell you
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: about the heat, the food, and just the way they
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: treat people and they don't have safety around. These people's deplorable.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: And as a nation, we should be better than that.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: With the richest country in the world with the highest
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: prison population, we have to do a better job. Command
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Rock Nation, Yeah, we do stave. All right, let's switch
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: gears here, time now for today's headlines. Fee ladies and gentlemen,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Miss ann Trip, thank you, thank you very much, in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: good morning. Members of the House of Representatives delivered two
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: articles of impeachment to the US Senate yesterday against Donald Trump,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: thus clearing the way for his impeachment trial, which is
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: expected to begin next week. The President says he's not
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: worried and expects to be acquitted. However, didn't look that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: way yesterday while the Commander in chief was at the
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: White House with Chinese leader signing a new trade deal.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: We're delighted that the Chinese consumers will now enjoy the
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: greater access to the best products on Earth. Those may
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: grown and raised right here in the USA. Chinese say,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: by the way, the deal is good for them because
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: it's what they wanted anyway. At one point, Trump looked
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: at the Republican lawmakers in the room, though, and he
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: urged them to get to work on something else. It's
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: not going to matter because it's going very well. But
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have you voting than sitting here listening to
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: me introduce you. Okay, they have a hoax going on
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: over there, let's take care of it. See. Administration officials
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: say they expect the trial to end, by the way,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: in under two weeks. On the subject of the Congress's
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: effort to alter the War Power Act to try and
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: limit Trump's ability to wage war without Congressional support, four
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: members of the GOP now say they're breaking ranks in
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: their radia vote with the Democrats. Excuse me, those joining
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the Democrats Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Mike Lee of Utah,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Todd Young of Indiana. A
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: federal judgy says that President Trump cannot give state and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: local government's veto power to turn refugees away. Back in September,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: presidents signed an executive order requiring written consent from state
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and local officials before refugees can settle in their jurisdictions.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: That order has been challenged in court. The entire entire
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Russian government resigned yesterday. President Vladimir Putin's already named a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: new prime minister and a whole series of constitutional amendment.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, guys, Federal climate scign to say the twenty
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen was the second warmest year ever, the second hottest
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: since they started keeping records in eighteen eighty. According to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: a recent study. Get this, a lot of millennials consider
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: pe starter kids. That's right. In fact, forty percent at
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: least of those asked say that's the reason they got
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: a pet in the first place. The most popular pet
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: in this country is still a dog, next cat, and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: some people like snakes. I don't know. And finally, this
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: seems like what's going on with me right now? Today
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: is National Spicy Food Days. Yeah, I don't know. I
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: think I had a spicy meat boil or somewhere. Anyway,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: we'll see. By the way, I wanted to add that
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: this story it Subourban. Indianapolis cop now fired for harrassing
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: two black men who were simply shopping at a clothing
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: store during Christmas, telling them it was because they were
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: quote acting suspicious. He then demanded to see their IDs
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: and is actually seen on videos saying I got my
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: rights to do anything I want to. I'm a police officer.

• 36:42
  Speaker 1: because I know you and on a personal level, man,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you go deep. You get into the richness of a
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: subject when you covered so in Conversations In Black Man,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: you discuss racism that's some of the overt racism that
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: we face now, and you cover everything from Colin Kaepernick's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: activism in Black Lives Matter movement, the pain of Nipsey
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Hustle's death, and deprid of the Black Panther. Just tell
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: us about what was your thinking on putting this book together.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: As you all know, you know often when you do interviews,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the best parts of your interviews happened before or after
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the mic has turned off. And I've had great conversations
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: with people over the years, and you know, I started thinking, Man,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it be great if I could have those conversations
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: and bring them to people. And then I thought about
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: all the diverse folks I talked to, and so I
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: started this idea. In twenty twelve, had to put it
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: down because I got a TV project, looked at where
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the world is today and picked it back up. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: what I did is I knew I couldn't get all
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: these people in the same room, So I became the
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Lynch Pen. I interviewed forty plus of our top leaders
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: and influencers. Let me just give you a quick list.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Maxine Waters, Ian Lavanza Charlomagne and God, Stacy Abrams, Eric Holder,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Jamel Hill, Al Sharpton, Michael, Eric Dyson, t I Angela
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Ry for Rain. The list goes on and on, Ben Crump,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Martin's mother Sabrina Forth. It's forty of these folks.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: And then I wrote the book as if we were
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: all in the same room having a conversation. The Great
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Harabellafani was part of a Killer Mike And each chapter
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: is a different subject. And so what I found is
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: people tend to be very candid if there's no camera around,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: and so we literally talk about everything. We talk about
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: black leadership, we talk about the black political muscle, we
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: talk about images in the media. You know, I saw
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Tyler Perry yesterday and Tyler has talked about extensively in
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: that chapter. You know, people love what he's done as
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: a mogul, but there's some people who still have issue
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: with the art that he puts out. You know, Black leadership,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: are they doing the job they should do? We reflect
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: on Obama's years. So it's a book that you don't
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: have to be a political junkie. It's not written academically.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: It's written as if we were all sitting around in
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the backyard talking out of barbecue and it's it's very
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: very candid. Hey, y'all, hang on right there. Oh, we're
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: gonna have more with Ed Gordon right after this sit
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: tight you're listening, all right, y'all, we're back and we're
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: talking to one of the great journalists of our time,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: my man or mister Ed Gordon. Let let's let me
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: just touch on one subject that I know it's anyboo
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: because about the Colin Kaepernick. Just give me a couple
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: of points that you that you would cover talking about
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. We'll really talk about activism in general. And
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you know, whether or not we like to support an activist,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: but how far are we willing to go? Tommy Smith,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the brother for those that don't know, in sixty Olympics,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: he and John Carlos had the picture of the fifth up,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: the iconic picture um in protest. He's in the book
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: as well, and he talks about the idea of what
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: they were willing to do. And I have suggested that,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: you know, if you really supported Colin Kaepernick, it ain't
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: an to buy his Nike shoes. It's not enough. You know,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: one weekend we all should have said, including black players,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: we're just not gonna watch football that weekend. Black folks,
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: just don't watch football, Go to the movie, go do
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: something else. Black players, all of all gets sick just
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: one weekend, just one weekend, all of you, including the stars, right,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do then who's playing that? Because then you
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: start to speak from a position of power. Now, is
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: it ideally to assume we're all gonna walk in lockstep?
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is, because that didn't even happen in sixties.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: But there came a critical point where all of those
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: people in Montgomery decided, we're not getting on that bus.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah right, we all come into Washington to march when
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: King calls. And I'm talking about the vast majority. So
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: if every superstar, black superstar decided, you know what, they
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: can't fire us all. We're just not playing the second
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Sunday of next season until they get this right, because
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: look at the Rooney Rude two thousand and three. Look
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: at the coach that were hired after this season, not
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: one black coach. Right, you want to see why things
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: haven't changed five years ago? Oscar so white. It's still
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: very pale. So it's time for us to have real
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: conversations about new narratives and what we're gonna do. And
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: then once we have the conversations, we got to start
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: to move. Wow. Yeah, yeah, it's always been in that guy.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: You know. On a personal note, man, I can only

• 53:42
  Speaker 1: ease a Strawberry Letter, Thank you, nephew. Subject we were
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: nude when we met. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: thirty one year old single man. I'm six four and
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I work out five days a week, so I'm in
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: great physical condition. I am a doctor now, and I
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: come from a large family, so to put myself through
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: medical school, I worked as a mail dancer and porn star,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: and I was able to make a lot of money.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Sex was never a problem for me, and when I worked,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I was having sex up to five times a day
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: with all kinds of voluptuous women. I didn't think much
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: about sex because it was my job. All of that
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: changed when I met a new girl at work. She
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: walked into the set and we both were nude, and
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: she had the most beautiful body I'd ever seen. She
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: was a veteran in the industry, and I was intrigued
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: that she wanted to work with me. We had sex
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: on camera and it was instant chemistry. It was like
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: we were made for each other. Sex didn't mean much
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: to her either, Steve, You're gonna love this line, but
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: she had to admit that I was very good at
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: what I did. He ended up being friends with benefits,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: and that's all we could be since she was married.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: There's also an age difference she's older, but that never
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: mattered to her and we have been in our situationship
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: for over six years. To this day. I'm still under
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: her spell. She is not happy in her marriage, but
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: she told me she'd never get a divorce because her
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: husband always supported her lifestyle and he has been good
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: to her. I love her too, and I want to
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: be with her. You love her too, Junior. I'm thinking
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: about moving to a neighboring city to get a fresh start,
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: but I'm afraid she will forget about me. Am I
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: crazy to think she might have a change of heart
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: and want me, Uncle Steve, Should I start dating other
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: women or should I keep shooting my shot with her? Well,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: you know we're going to tell you, at least I am,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: stop shooting your shot with her. You know we're going
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: to tell you to leave this married woman, of course,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: because that is the right thing to do. Everybody says
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: they're not happy in their marriage when you're dating them. Yeah,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: everyone says that when when they're in an affair, they're
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: not happy in their marriage. Everybody says that, Um, whooo,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: who are you talking to? Who say it? Yes? You did? Yes,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: she did? Be quiet, Okay, be quiet just because we're
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: talking about naked people. You think you can get into letter,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: all right. I definitely think you should go ahead and
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: move to a neighboring city and get a fresh start. Yes,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: you have chemistry with this woman. Yes, she's beautiful, the
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: most beautiful body you've ever seen. Yes you you know
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: you guys love working together and you're intrigued and you're
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: under her spell and you've been together for over six years.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: But how is this gonna work? I mean, you want
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: to just keep Hope alive thinking that she's gonna leave
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: her husband. It usually never works out that way. Okay,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: it just does. You're doctor. You can get someone. Okay,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: keep Hope alive. Yeah, are you crazy to think she
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: might have a change of heart and want you? I mean,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: you're not crazy, but most people who think that their
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: wish does not come true. For the most part. You
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: got to start dating other women and stop shooting your shot.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: Because you've been with her for six years and nothing's changed.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: It is time to move on, mister six four working
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: out five days a week and a doctor. Now you

• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: that statement. Really, sex has never been a problem for
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: me when I worked. But then this is where the

  Speaker 1: letter take a turn. I would having sex up to
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: five times a day with all kinds of voluptuous women.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: That's never happened. I didn't think that much about sex
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: because it was my job. All that change when I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: met a new girl at work. She walked on the
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: set and we were both nude, and she had the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: most beautiful body I had ever seen. We all get
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: in lyne, homie, you ain't the only one seen this
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: beautiful body. She was a veteran in the industry. I
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: was intrigued that she wanted to work with me. She
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: didn't work with everybody else vtrick in the industry, and
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: I was I was. I was intrigued that she wanted
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: to work with me. She didn't work with everybody else.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: We had sex on camera, and it was instant chemistry. Okay,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: it was like we was made for each other. Yes,
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: come on, Dog, sex didn't mean much to her either,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: I guess not. I don't mean nothing to her. We
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: ended up being friends with benefits and that's all we
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: could be sense. And here where Shirley started getting real
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: Christian since she was married, was in the borno Star
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: is Married. Yeah, obviously DS wasn't the same. Vows you
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: bosed to take one of the lines in the marriage.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: But I says to cling unto her and only onto her.

  Speaker 1: scary thing was either she you know, she's pregnant at
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: the time. She's trying to stop Cynthia Marla from getting
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: into it, and Candy was like, you need to go
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: to your room. You're pregnant. Don't don't be in none
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: of this, you know, with these start fighting, but ever
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: let off kt show. Whatever they fight, they fight, they do.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: So anyway, it was just ugly. Folks left the room.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: They went to their room. So after that, it was
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: the next morning Yavannia. She packed her bags and left
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: went back home to Atlanta. Uh Nini left because she
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: had a show or a gig, you know that she
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: had to host. So she left and the ladies put
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: on their costumes. They party with the Canadians during Carnival.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: It was a lot like Mighty Gras. They had a
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: good time. They looked like they had a lot of fun.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: But then towards the end of the episode, Kenya, she's
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: so wrong for this. She's talking to Tenny. Tanny was
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the one that hosted the trip. Kenya asked Tanya like
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: a hypothetical cheating scenario that she heard uh from a
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: lady who owns a cookie like a bakery play. Basically,
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: this woman told Cynthia and Kenya that Tanya's fiance flirted
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: with her. So it was kind of like Kenya put
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: that mess out there. She didn't get real specific with Tanya,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: didn't say it was her man Anyway, Tanya was just
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: basically saying, in this relationship with her fiance Paul, if
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: she ever found out he was cheating, it would be over.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: Then she said later that she would just be heartbroken.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: But that was just a little messy for Kenya to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: even go with that. So you know, everybody was like, oh,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: the cookie lady said, oh man was flirting with her.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: So a lot of drama with that. So that's that.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: That is Real Housewives of Atlanta. You want to talk
• 1:14:39

• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: Right after this, you're listening to Steve Morning Show in
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: today's entertainment news. All right, So Yo, Gotti, David Banner,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: and other celebrities are fighting injustices in the prison system
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: in Mississippi. Jay Z's Rock Nation and its high powered
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: attorney Alex Spiro will represent the prisoners after spike and
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: deadly violence at several Mississippi state prisons and to fight
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: deplorable prison conditions. The lawsuit filed on Tuesday in federal court. Uh,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: they have been at there have been at least five
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: prisoners who have died in Mississippi. In the maximum security prison,
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: Parchment doesn't have enough mattresses for the inmates, cells are
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: covered in black mold, and ross sewage is spilling onto
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: the floors. The prison allegedly has a serious water problem too.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: In the lawsuit, Team Rock Nation claims the drinking water
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: for inmates repeatedly fails to meet federal standard safety standards. Also,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: according to the lawsuit, inmates are exposed to serious harm
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: and left unprotected because there just aren't enough prison guards. Yogatti,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: David Banner, other community leaders are demanding that Mississippi Governor
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: Phil Bryant make changes or face a lawsuit. The suit
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: seeks damages for the inmates and an order and an
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: order from Mississippi's Department of Corrections to lay out a
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: plan to address all of these issues, especially increasing staff
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: and cleaning up sewage. Yogatti said, the lives of countless
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: individuals in Mississippi prison they are at stake, and we
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: will not stop until this is fixed. So shout out
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: to them. Yeah, man, I really do hope this is effective.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: I really really do, because these are things that we
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: really need to be addressed. Look, if a person commits
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: a crime, everybody in prison, first of all, is not guilty.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody in prison has not received fair punishment befitting the crime.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about this. Now, some people doing
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: some time for over juice and yeah, now we know
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: that racism exists, it's hard to get these systems to
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: admit to it. So what we need, man, is for
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 1: things like this to really get behind it. So instead
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: of going to social media with the means and the
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: ignorant statements about what could be wrong making fun at
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: the water. These are human beings who a lot of
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: them are doing their time. But their time doesn't have
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: to be a living hell, right, they should just do
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: their time in humane conditions. Yeah, not having drinking water
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: and sewage facilities. I can't tell you about the heat,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: the food, and just the way they treat people and
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: they don't have safety around these People's deplorable. And as
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: a nation, we should be better than that. With the
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: richest country in the world with the highest prison population,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: we have to do a better job. Come and rock Nation, Yeah,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: we do. Steve, coming up our last break of the

• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: that type of friends. And the last time he text me,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: he called me an evil name that I can't say
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: on that and I texted him back one word. Let
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: us know what he said. Well, the initials was b B.

  Speaker 1: And I text him f y that's his go to
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: the time. But we got word. Then the next word
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: was en yo. Oh okay, all right, you want to
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: do clothing after all? This be positive? He gonna say
• 1:21:11

• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: him though. That's the real Steve. What I mean, you
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: know what Sherton, I mean, call it you absolutely correct.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: I don't. I've never pretended to be anything more than
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: what I was. I never promised anybody perfection. I do.
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: I do, I have strive. My new thing in twenty
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: twenty is not perfection, but persistence. I just try to
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: put the same level of effort into becoming a better person. Now.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: When I fall short, as we all do from time
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: to time, I just accepted and move on. I want
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: to take a moment for this subject today. Close remarks
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: would be a little short, I may do it. Tommy
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: sent me a post to sort of give me a
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: thought starter, and it made a lot of sense to me.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: And I've touched on this subject many times before, but
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: it gave me a new set of thoughts. The post said,
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: when you carry bricks from your past, you end up
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: building the same house. When you carry bricks from your past,
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: you end up building the same house. How many times
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: have you met someone, or you know someone, or maybe
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: even yourself that something has happened had happened to you
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: in your past and you just couldn't let it go,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: And you try to start something new, and you bring
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: that baggage with you, or you bring them same bricks
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: with you, and so now you're trying to move forward,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: but you're trying to move forward with the same bricks,
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: and you end up like the post, say, building the
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: same house because we simply just didn't let it go.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: You know, God is really really brilliant man, the way
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: he set this thing up, because he set it up
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: in three parts. He set up the past, he set
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: up the present, and he set up the future. And
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: he gave them all names that we could apply to
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: our life to day. The past they simply name that
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: history because it belongs in the past. It's a part
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: of history. Now the future, it belongs to the future.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: The reason it don't need another late, another name is
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: because no one knows exactly what it holds. We can
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: hope and want for things in the future, but we
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: don't know what the future holds. It's the future. The
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: past belongs to history, The future belongs to God. The
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: present is all we have. And they call it the
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: present because it is a present from God. Because we
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: have now. That is the one thing that we can
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: do something about now. We can't control what happens in now,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: but we can control what we do about now every
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: single step of the way. But if you are constantly
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: bringing bricks from your past, which belongs to history, you
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: will continue to build the same house. So let me
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: simplify this for me. You know what, Steve, Sometimes you
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: just got to let it go because if it goes,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: if it's gone away from you, it's gone for a reason.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't need to rekindle that old relationship, it's
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: gone for a reason. Sometimes you don't need to interject
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: that business partner back into your life because it's gone
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: for a reason. Sometimes you don't have to bring up
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: that issue that you got over ten years ago because
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: it's gone for a reason. Sometimes you don't have to
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: let that friend back in your life that wronged you
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: and let them back in your life with the promise
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: of day've changed. Well, if you've changed, congratulations, I applaud
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: you and I wish you the best. But I'm not
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: fit to sit through to see if the change will
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: affect our current friendship because it didn't work in the past.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: That don't make me wrong or evil. But guess what
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: I've just learned in my life as I approach my
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: next birthday, to just let it go. Let it go
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: everything in the past. I let go every valuable lesson
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: I've learned from the past. I remember them, I retain them,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: and I use them when I build my new house.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: But then bricks that old stuff, that old stuff the
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: more than the breaking the same Seamen. I don't want
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: none of that because I'm allowing God to do a
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: new thing in me, a brand new thing in me.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: So forget the thing of the past and let God
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: do a new thing in you in twenty twenty. Those
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: are my closing remarks. Yeah let it go. You let
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: that note go. If you let that note close, got
• 1:26:28
