• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I do. God so big to me, man, I just
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have to tell you about it. I can't help it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain, you know, man,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I want to share something with you today. You know,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: if you're out there, start your mission today, why don't
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: we all decide together better yet? Let's just kill that
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: because you don't that just individually? Look you listening, everybody's
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: got something that's that's on the table that they haven't
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for start your
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: mission today. Stop the procrastination now. And if you and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: if you allow practical man, if you allow procrastination to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: set in, then that that allows then which is a weakness,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you know, but that allows the devil then to just
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: really do his thing, because an idle mind is the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: devil's playground. So if you ain't working on your goal's dreams,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: aspirations or visions, and you you just waking up seeing
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: how today gonna go, or the devil he got plenty
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for it for you to do. See, But if you
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: get your mind right on your goal and your focus
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and your purpose, then you can go on about your business.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Then when the distraction comes, you can catch yourself. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that don't mean you ain't gonna fall privy or fall
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: prey to some of your distractions, because you will, but
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you will have a goal in mind, an aspiration that
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: makes you go. Hold on, man, I got to stay
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: focused here because what I really want while I'm really
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: trying to go the thing that I'm really after, this
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: new little thing that's being introduced, this don't fit into
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the equation. Man, Let me keep it moving. All you
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: may step off the line for a little while you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: like I said yesterday, your thing about God is he's
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so forgiving that if you get out of line, he'll
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: hold your place. See that's the real cool thing. A
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people to do that for you too. Like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I said, if you're the movie theater or you're an
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: amusement park and you're in the line and you forget something,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: if you politely ask the person behind you, hey, man,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I gotta run to my car left something, would you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: hold my place, most people say, fine, you gotta go ahead,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and when you come back, they don't have a problem.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: See your problem is is you want to get out
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the line, go do something, then come back and just
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get up in the line further up than you were,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: or cut somebody. Now you got a problem because see
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: everybody looking at you now, like Roy Wall partner, where
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you come from. You know the line start back here.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: But see the thing with God is God don't do that.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: God don't say the line start back here. God holds
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: your place. When you make a mistake and you fall
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: off the line, God holds your place. But if you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: ain't got no dreams, aspiration, if you ain't got no place,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: what he holding for you? See I mean he got
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a play for you, but you gotta come to it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: See some people if well, here's what I'm saying. If
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you got a goal or aspiration, a dream and you
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: fall off track momentarily, you can get back to that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: because God know where you're left off. Now you may
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: have to accomplish a few more things since you stop
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: for a long period of time, but God know where
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you left off. You can get back on track. I look, man,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: this dream of being on TV since I was a kid,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and it got off track. Now it got off track.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I just kept it as one of the dreams. And
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: in some real dog moments when it looked like it
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen, all I was hanging on to was
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: just a hope that one day it could. But that's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: confidence to keep hoping. Man, sometime it just keep hope alive.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson said, just keep hope alive.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Sometimes times, man, it's just the hope. I was hanging
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: on the hope. And I'm talking about when it got
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: real ugly and funky out there for me, when it
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: looked like I wasn't gonna ever make it, and all
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of the facts was in and everything pointed in the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: direction you're not gonna make it. You didn't really messed
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: up this time. Then I sat there and I just
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: hung on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: If you got a dream on aspiration of vision or something,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: when you fall off track and you want to go
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: get back in line, God holds your place. He knew
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I was off tracking how the line, but he said, okay,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: here's where we stopped. You want to be on TV
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that when you get it together and you quit tripping
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and you come in your turn to me, I'm gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: hold your place, put you back in line. Then we're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gonna finish the journey. That took me a lot longer
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to get here than I wanted to, But then it
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was necessary because I needed all of the mishaps to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: happen to me along the way. So when I got
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: on the radio one day, which I did not see coming,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's why I said,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: every day, see because of this radio show that I
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: didn't see coming. Now I have stories to tell and
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I can tell you about me better than I can
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: tell you about anybody. And I haven't been through enough
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: whereas relatable, where enough people can go. Man, that happened
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to me. Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I get it now. See at the time, though I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I was really in total disagreement with God on a
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in essence I was really pulling it off on myself.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: there and died wrong. He forgave me, He said, because man,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: if you ever come to me, I have a plan
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: for you that it is going to be far and above.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I did. I just got sick on me, good and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: sick of me, and I turned it over to God.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And then God started working. And here I am today now.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: See threw it me yet? Nope? Have I arrived yet? Nope?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But guess what the journey is cool? And then you
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: know what I found out. That's kind of what it's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like in life. If you don't walked off the cliff
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in life and you ain't got no God in your life,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's like not having a parachute. You step off the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: cliff and you just free falling. We all now that
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: fall gets you closer to the grave, right see, we
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: But the cool thing about a relationship with God is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: when you step off the cliff and you got God
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: here a parachute. You're still going down, but it's a
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: nice ride. You guide and you're glad, and you're softly,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you enjoying your looking around, you're smiling, you're meeting other
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: people along the way. You're floating over here to Skiale
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a little while. You over there at the beach for
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a little while. You mess around over here. You get
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: to go out of the country a little bit on
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: your parachuting. All that, and God just helps your your
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: descent appear more like a rise and then more like
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: a euphoric fall. Instead of not having no God in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: your life and you're just walking off that cliff, every
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: day free falling. Ain't got no core, you steady pulling,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: you hauling the whole way because you to mess around
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: with yourself and ain't let God come into your life
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and provide a parachute for you. I would rather have
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: a parachute since I got to jump every day, than
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to not have one. God has been like a parachute
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: from me. Ask me why where that came from. I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: can't tell you, But like I always say, most good
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: things that happened in my life that I can't explain,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it's usually him. You're listening show, Ladies and gentlemen, man,

• 14:53
  Speaker 1: It got us everything we needed. Both Ghana families are
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: in because they just couldn't believe it. They couldn't believe it,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and so I took care of that. Then I had
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: some very very important meetings around other business that I'm
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: involved in over here. It's just been a great trip.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: So I went out to oil rig on what day
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was that We went Thursday I believe it was Thursday,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: went out to the oil rig Wednesday or Thursday, went
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: out to the oil rigs celebrate with my friend. He's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the first African or African American ever to strike oil.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And wow, ok, no, I mean listen to me. No, no,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: he is one of the big boys now. And thirty
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: eight year old dude educated at Howard University. Thirty eight man,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: thirty eight years old, got Howard, got educated at Howard University.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: But he's a he's from Ghana and he came back
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: home with his education and he bought an oil field
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: or block where they told him there was no oil.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Bb Is on one side of him, and another oil
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: companies on another one. And now they told him it
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't oil, and he believed that it was. He hired
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: believe it's not man, two brothers from Houston, these two
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: African Americans from Houston, and they came over and they
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: believed in him. And he hired his office full of Africans. Man,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: you know that's it's a multicultural office, but most of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: his employees African, and they believed in him, and they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: found oil and he hid it and he Wow, that's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: all I can tell you right now because later today
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: we were with the with the President's office here in Ghana,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and so we have some things to settle with that,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and I can't say anymore about it, but that's what's
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: been out there. I've been on my first oil rig. Ever,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: they need to elevate on the oil rig. I don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: know who the hell billy things. And it's seventeen floors, man,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: seventeen floors on an oil rig. But an oi rig
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: now is very different from what I thought it was,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, like off the Gulf, you think
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: an oil rigs these stations that's built, these platforms that's
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: built with housing quarters on them, and they drill all
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the way down to the seabed and build these rigs
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: from there. It's different. Now there are actual ships and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the ship has a hole in the center of it
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: and the drill goes down through the center of the ship.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: And so you live on a ship and the drill
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: goes down through the center of the ship. And that's
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: how they drill. And man, can't tell you something else.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I learned this trip to after because when I opened
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: up the door and and I've met with the I
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: meet the Shanti king on Thursday, King of the Ashanti
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: nation here in Africa, the largest nation. Do you know
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: that Noah first of all Muslims believe in Noah's Ark.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Islam talks about Noah's Ark. All religions acknowledge that there
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: was a Noah's Ark. You understand, mar Noah had three kids.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: His children started the Ashanti Kingdom. That's what I learned yesterday.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna open up everybody's eyes to the true history
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: of this world that's been kept from us, and everybody
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: acknowledges that they just won't write about it. But Noah's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: three children start the Ashanti Kingdom. The African nations were
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: started by three of Noah's from Noah of the Ark
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: in the Bible. That's where the Act Kingdom started from.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: The Ashanti Kingdom was started from Noah's three children. That's crazy,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: because history teacher, Oh, I'm over here learning man, when
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I when I when I leave here, I'm going to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: unveil this on my website of all that I'm learning
• 19:30

  Speaker 1: It's the star of ESPs. First take and to starve
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: to Stephen A. Smith shown ESPN Radio. He's been I'm
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: in Ghana, he's been fired up. I've been hearing about it,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: about Colin Kaepernick, about the Miles gard my Cleveland boss,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: what's going on? I had to find up, ladies and gentlemen,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: one of the brightest stars, most highly sought after, most
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: compelling voice in all of sports commentary in the world
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: to date, My friend, my frat, my homie, stephen A
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: smith Man. What's going on, y'all? What's going on, y'all?
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I want to hear this. Stephen A. Let me first,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: let me just let me just ask about this Colin
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Kaepernick situation. Explain to me what is going on? Did
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I hear it right from over here across the water?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: What was the T shirt that had on? Did what
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: the heil? What happened? Is Kaepernick doing to bring it?
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: To bring it, to bring it home? This is my
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: personal opinion. Oh, it was all smoking mirrors. It was
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: all a pr stunt by Colin Kaepernick. No matter what
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: he says, he don't want a job in the NFL.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You talk, I'm thoroughly convinced. I'm thoroughly is just my opinion.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I'm thoroughly convinced he doesn't want a job in the NFL.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: That's my opinion. Let me give you the facts. Jay
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Z reaches an agreement to partner with the National Football League.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We know the heat that he took from that based
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: on the press conference that he had with Roger Didell
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: months ago. Since that time, from what I was told, quietly,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: he's been about the business of marching on and making
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: sure that Colin Kaepernick had the opportunity to return to
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the NFL. He ran in, according to what I've heard,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to a few road blocks in terms of NFL owners
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: who wanted. Their mentality was, we've made over ten billion
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: dollars in the last year. Ratings and revenue are back
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: where we expected, if not better. And on top of it,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: all four of the league NDB Kennedy to the National
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Football League all happened to be black quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes,
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, Lamar Jackson, and of course Russell Wilson is
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: out of Seahawks. Not to mention the fact that Russell
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Wilson is the highest paid quarterback, is the highest paid
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: person in the National Football League. So ultimately, Jay Z
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: and Rock Nation and those boys with the Monta, look,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: this is a priority. They get Roger Goodell to jump
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: on board the league. Teams teams in the league were
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: looking for cover because their fear wasn't that Colin Kaepernick
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to play. They knew he would be
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: able to play, but the interview was going to be everything.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Let what level of interest did he still have in
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: playing football, How good was he going to be, et cetera,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: et cetera. They wanted to ask him questions. Okay, So
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted to use the NFL as cover because if
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the end if the individual teams brought him in their
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: fear was, if they didn't pick him and bring him
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: on board, he could say anything about them. He could
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: say that the process was, the process was unfair. He
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: could castigate them, he could he could accuse them of
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: various things. And individual teams were reluctant to place themselves
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: in that kind of position where they were vulnerable at
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that level of heat. So the NFL. NFL obliged them
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: and said, Okay, for the first time in our history,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: we will conduct a workout. We will organize the workout itself.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: They spent about five or six days negotiating with the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons all right to use their facilities, their personnel,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: video cameras, and everything else in between. State of the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: art equipment, all of this other stuff. They said, Tyler
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Catholics on social media talk about he ready to go
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: right now. So we notified them Tuesday at ten thirties
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: is the NFL. We notified them at Tuesday, all right,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: at ten thirty in the morning, we said, Hey, this
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: is what we're gonna do Saturday at Flowery Branch the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons practice facility, about an hour outside of the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: city of Atlanta. We're going to organize this workout. Thing
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: you heard was about, oh is this reel? How many
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: teams are really gonna show off? Et cetera, et cetera. Well,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: then yesterday, sorry, Saturday comes and what transpired Saturday? Twenty
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: five different teams showed up to watch Colin Kapin. It's
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: worked out. Most of them were brothers. A few of
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: them are in the general manager's pipeline, meaning that they
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: may be next in line to be general managers. These
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: are significant people. Hey, Steven A hold on one second, man,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on right there, Hey listen, Jim, we
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: gotta take a break. But when we come back, we
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: got more with Stephen A. Smith. You're listening, all right,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: We're back. Everybody on our specially your guests. This morning
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: is the legend Stephen A. Smith, and we're discussing the
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick situation. They all showed up to watch a
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: live workout with Colin Kaepernick scheduled for three o'clock Saturday afternoon.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: What does Colin Kaepernick do Saturday? At two thirty a
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: half out? Work? Before the workout, Colin Kaepernick lets them
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: know he will not be showing up to their facilities
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: to workout. Instead, he's going to show up to a
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: high school field fifty one miles away near Atlanta Airport
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: to do the workout with his stud about with his
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: own people. Now, he's trying to sit up there and
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: say a couple of things. Number One, he wanted his
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: own receivers. Well, the NFL capitulated to that. They said, okay,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: you can have your own receivers running routes, catching your passes.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he wanted the waiver. The liability
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: waiver was an issue because essentially the NFL waivers stipulate that,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: excuse me, just because we're giving you a tryout doesn't
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: mean that we have to hire you, okay, Because what
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: they didn't want to do, which positioned themselves for a
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: worker's compensation claim. Also, we don't want to be in
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: a position where you believe you have the right to
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: sue us just because this workout doesn't materialize something which
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: is a standard waiver give us to every unrestricted free agent.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So all of a sudden there was pushed back from that,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and then last but not leave, they were trying his lawyers,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Jeff Nalionel's god, we're trying to say that videoing it
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: was a deal breaker because they didn't want the NFL
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: videoing the workout. They wanted to be able to do
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: it themselves with their cell phones or their cameras, as
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: opposed to the state of the ARTI equipment that the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: NFL has in the Atlanta Falcons, where you got cameras
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: on gold boasts and polls for crying out Like okay, okay,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: stephen A, stephen A, why okay, y'all hold on. We'll
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: be right back with more stephen A. Right after this.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: We got to hear the rest of this. You're listening
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: to show, all right, we're back everybody on our special
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: guests this morning is the legend stephen A. Smith, and
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: we're discussing the Colin Kaepernick situation. So so, so, what
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: does the NFL said, excuse me that? No, not only
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: did we promise you we're going to send I take
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to all thirty two teams in the league, but we
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: promised to hand you the raw footage of the workout,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: plus twenty five different teams are in attendance to watch
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: you raw. What's the problem? College Kaefernick and those in
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: his camp use that as an excuse to back out.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And last of not least, not only did he go
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: to the workout fifty one miles away, not only did
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: he notify them not up until a half hour before
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: his workout was to begin, pushing it back to four o'clock,
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: knowing good and damn well what Atlanta traffic is like
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: on our Saturday afternoon, trying to get fifty one miles away,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: but on top of it all, but on top of
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: it all, once he gets there, all those fans that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: you saw there, okay, we're wearing Capernick T shirts, I'm
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: with calfs or shirts that said I know my right.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: There was security there and his own now, and there
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: was a security his own security there, and there was
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: personnel there, So clearly it wasn't a last minute thing
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: because you have to organize it. And remember that the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: high school, as a public high school, you can't just
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: use their field without their permission. You have to call superintendent,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: you have to call a public school officials to get
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: permission to do all of that, which means that he
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: knew what he was going to do, he had planned
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: to do it, but didn't notify the nask the Football
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: League's at half hour before his workout was scheduled an
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: hour away in Flowery Beds, Georgia. That's the story. Okay, Stephen,
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: here's my question to you. Why would he move the facility,
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: in your opinion, from the designated spot set up by
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL and not give them but a half hour note.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: The easy answer is that clearly there's a extreme level
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: of trust that even one would say is somewhat justifiable.
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: He doesn't trust the NFL after all that he's been through,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. But you didn't trust the NFL
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: when you were posting those workouts on social media. You
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: didn't trust the work You didn't trust the NFL when
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: you said that you're ready to play right now. You
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: don't trust the NFL. Now when you're saying, all thirty
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: two teams are free to call me for a workout.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: So my position is its apploy. Colin Kapepnett led us
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: to believe that he really, really really wants to play
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Now, one or two things are reality Eiven,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: he's full of it and he doesn't want to play
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, or he's delusional because he thinks that
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: he gets to do what he wants to do, when
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: he wants to do, while he wants how he wants
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to do it while having his hands out for somebody
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: else's products in dollars? Which one you want to go with? All?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: I need all three of those. I think all of
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: those that you went with, because I was trying to
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: understand the counter can take T shirt standing have any
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of the rights and options that you just describe that
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: brother Colin Kaepernick has no no, no, no, no no,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: here's what you're missing. That was his way. One could
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: easily surmise of highlighting the fact that, similar to Coulter can'take,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: he is a laborer, a slavehand, being persecuted by the
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: big bad NFL owners once again. Once again, what I
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: would say is this, then why do you want to play? Um,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: there is something called the Canadian Football League. I've been
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: in Toronto's a beautiful city, haven't y'all. I've heard I've
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: heard Montreal, Yes, I hand it's a beautiful city as well.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: There's a plethora of places that you can go that
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: are right near the United States. They have a football league.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: What's the problem? But you keep saying that you want
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to play in the National Football League while highlighting during
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: a job interview that the people that you're going to
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: be waiting for working for a racist in your heart,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: that's what you're saying. All right, Hey, hang on, hang on,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: hang on right there, stop right there, Steven, We'll be
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: right back, y'all. Don't go away. We're coming back with
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the rest of it. You're listening, all right, We're back,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Stephen A. Smith. The legend is here and we're talking
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: about Colin Kaepernick and lord are we talking about in campany? Oh?
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: By the way, can I ask may I switch gears
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: and ask you all a question? Yes? Okay, okay? Do
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: you know Steve Hark y'all? Do you know of anybody
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: whose father a grievance against an employer settled and then
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: expected a job for them. I'm saying, Steve Harvey and
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: the Steve Harvey Morning Team, are you all aware of
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: anybody who has filed a grievance against an employer, settled
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: for millions, went back from that employer, and then expected
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: to have a job. Help no one. I am asking
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: for the help of the Steve Harvey Morning because maybe
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe you ain't miss maybe i' we can't help you.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: You ain't miss nothing we can help you. We don't
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: know nobody that's had this second chance on such a scale,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: over such an issue of such magnitude, following any dramatic
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: thing of sports. Well, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Ali had a
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: valid cause, that's right. But remember he was an individual.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: It was an individualized sport per se. And even though
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: he was participating in the sport, remember his beef was
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: that I'm not entering the Armed services because you know,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Noia Khan ever called me the N word and all
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: of that stuff, Okay, and the government stepped in and
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: banned him from the fort. The spot didn't by Muhammad Ali.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: The government banned in, So so let's be clear about that.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: But the other thing that I want to get to
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: is this. I would ask to Steve Harvey Morning Show
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: to be careful because we all smiling and we all
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: laughing at how ridiculous this is. Did you know that
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: because of that to up to some within our own community,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: we sell out, we coons and all of that other stuff.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Did you know that? Did you know that? That's what
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: they're calling us as we speak, because we have the temerity,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: the unmitigated goal to highlight and point out reality. This
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: is what I want to say for the Steve Harvey
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Morning Show. Everybody and their mother knows Colin Kaepernick has
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: been treated unfairly. Colin Kaepernick has been blackballed. We get
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: all of that. What has happened to him was egregiousness.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Should have never happened. Let's make sure we are all
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: clear about that. What we're talking about is what we're
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: talking about it. But it happened, and the aftermath of
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: it happening, you collected over forty million dollars as a players.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: You won millions of dollars with a settlement. Let's highlight
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: that settlement. For second, he never told us what he
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: stood for. We to this don't know he was you
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: stipulated with that settle that was signed with an NBA.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: That's right. I could speak of the terms of the settlement.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: That's a part of the settlement. All I'm saying to
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: you is he to this day has not talked. He
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: didn't now mind, Just the same guy that wanted the
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: media in attendance, right, he wanted transparency. Right. Then he
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: did his workout. Then after that he turned around and
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: he gave some I have a dream speech to the folks,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: and then after that he didn't take And then after
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: that he didn't take any questions. He didn't take any questions.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: So no, he didn't. He taught, he gave his statement,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: his speech, and then after that he walked away, okay,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: taking bitches with the superintendent and some other fices. Let
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: me give you an example. Not just knew he was
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: and still with this workout. Eight teams showed up. Two
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: probably less early because it was only six nitty end
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of his workout, probably because they had a flight to
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: catch and they were right by the airport. And it
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: also after that the head of the Fritz Poll of
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: the Lions, which exists specifically to address diversity issues at
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: it as it pertains to the National Football League, the
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: executive director Rod Graves of the Fritz Poller The Lion
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: was in attendance for that workout in Flowery Branch as well.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: That Colin Kaepernick refused to show up to the Atlanta
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Falcon was the number one teams interested in Colin Kaepernick.
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: They're the ones that put the event together. They hosted
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the event in Flowery Branch. They had to. Okay, Stephen,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: here's the question. Twenty five teams came to Atlanta, and
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: you saying only eight came out to the high school.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Feel that's right. I mean, I understand that. I do
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: understand that. I do really do understand that. I mean,
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: you know, this is tough, you know, and and and
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: it's sad what you're saying. It is sad of these
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: opinions that we all seem to share and understand. I
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: think the older you get and the longer you've been
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: out here in this game of life, you understand the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: complexity of it a bit more, and I think you
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: can go, Okay, wait a minute, hold up, that don't
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: make no sense as opposed to some I'm only saying
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: some younger people who just want to be able to
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: say and do what they want to say. And not
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: realize it that that's not the way life is set up, understand,
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: And that was my argument with his friend Eric Reid,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: who got smoked by the Atlanta Falcons yesterday in Carolina.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Now this God, Now this guy is the first one
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: he's called out. Now, this is a guy that challenged
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: it was upset that Malcolm Jenkins in a player's coalition.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: He accused them of co opting the movement that Colin
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Kaepernick started. So what does he do last year? He
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: confronts Malcolm Jenkins on the football field during the Corn Tours,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: during the Coin Tours before the Eagles played the Carolina Panthers.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: That this is a guy that called Jay Z and
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: his actions apartment with the NFL despicable. This is the
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: guy that has attacked me and disrespected me on social
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: media over the weekend before I had to check his behind.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Here's the reality of the situation. You are a guy,
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: and Eric Freed, you're twenty seven years old, and if
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: everybody doesn't mark exactly lockstep in unison with you, their
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: blackness is to be questioned. You who plays in the
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: NFL collects a chet from the NFL while calling them
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: a practice, You who shows up to Colin Kaepernick's workout
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: yesterday but had to leave early to get back to
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: Carolina to get your butt with by the Atlantic. Bout
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: you who plays in the NFL, the NFL, You who
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: plays in the NFL, and we all appreciate your efforts
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: and the fact that you took a need for racial oppression,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: police brutality more racial and impression and police brutality didn't
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: have anything to do with the National Football League. So
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: you were not protesting the National Football League until they said,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, you cost enough money. We got a problem
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: with you. All of us have stood up in support
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: of Colin Kaefernick and what he and others who think
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: like him. What have you believed? Because we got a
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: problem with how Colin Kaepernick has gone about handling things.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: That's that time you're trying to give the impressions that
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: we're against him when we were supporting him all the law.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: Who the hell is he and who the hell is
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: anybody black him? To think that they can come at
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: us questioning blackness. By the way, in with his blode
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: here and it's dread. You got to be kidding me.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: You're better go complace with blood Oh no, you didn't
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: do the blonde blodes have more fun? You didn't go
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: that route? Did you have have more fun? I thought
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: that was female. I thought that. I didn't know that
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: was a reserved for the brothers and all. By the way,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to y'all now, I appreciate this phone call

  Speaker 1: hold on tight. We got it for you here. It
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: is a Strawberry Letter. Subject I got more than her measurements.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Dear Stephen, Shirley, I'm in my late fifties and I'm
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: still a bachelor. I don't have a problem meeting beautiful women,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: and I don't have a problem getting the cookie. I
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: own a carpet business, so I'm the person that goes
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: to the customer's home to do the initial meeting and
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: get measurements. Three months ago, I went to a customer's
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: house and she was gorgeous, had a very nice house,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: and she has her own real estate business. To make
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: a long story short, we had sex the same day
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: I met her, and we've been together almost every day
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: since then. She thinks we're dating, and I don't mind
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: because she started referring her homeowners to me for carpet
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: and other flooring needs, so she has been great for
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: my business. I still had a few women on the
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: side that I kick it with, but I was careful
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: not to mess up things with my main woman because
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't want her to stop sending business my way. Well,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I wasn't too careful because I ended up messing things up.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: One crazy night, I had to go see a new
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: customer and when I got to her house, I was
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: instantly attracted to her and vice person. She invited me
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: over for dinner the next night, and after we ate,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: we had sex on her couch. I was getting dressed
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: and I saw a picture of her and my main
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: woman on the side table. I asked, who's that? She said, Oh,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: that's me and my very best girlfriend. I almost passed out,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: but I played it off and I left. I have
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: avoided this lady since then, and I am so worried
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: that she's going to tell my main woman about what
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: went down since they are best friends. It was stupid
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: of me to not ask her who referred her to
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: me before we had sex. Now I've messed up big time. Steve?
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Should I tell my girlfriend what happened and swear it'll
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: never happen again? What if this is all a setup?
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: How can I fix it? Please advise there's no fixing this.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: There's no fixing this. And yeah, I say this is
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: from me. Steve is going to tell you something different.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, tell your girlfriend and swear it won't ever
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah, go ahead and do that. You know, Steve,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: how you say that you don't care anything about this letter?
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: You know? Sometimes you say that, well, uh, this is
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: a letter for me, Okay, this is that one for me?
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I do not care to the letter. To the writer
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: of this letter, you, sir, are getting just what you deserve.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I have no sympathy for you. You're taking advantage of
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: these women. You're taking advantage of this situation everything. Yeah,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: they're having sex with you the first night. I'm not
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: excusing them with that at all. But you're with this
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: woman that you call your main woman. This is how
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: you treat your main woman by going around having sex
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: with these other women. You know you can say no,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you can't say no. You're doing these women, or your
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: main woman as you call her, to selfishly just get
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: business and just get sex. I mean you're you're trying
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: to do this to get you know, business for your
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: or your cleaning company, for your carpet company. That's how
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: I look at it. The only reason you're concerned that
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: your latest conquested, the reason you're concerned is because she's
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: your main woman's best friend. Uh and you might lose business.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Not because you might hurt her, or might because you
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: really feel something for her, any of that. You know
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: that a normal man, a good man, would feel. Just
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: you're just upset because you might lose business. Um, that's crazy,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: Not that you might lose a good woman who's looking
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: out for you and sending business your way, which puts
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: money in your pocket. You're you're just concerned that you
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: know that she's not going to send you any more business. So, uh,
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: that's how I feel about you. How you feel about
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: these women in the letter. It doesn't it doesn't look
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: like you care. You just care about the French benefits
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: you get from your business contacts and your connection. So uh, yeah,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: go ahead and tell her, tell her, tell her right now, Steve.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: I want him to tell her. I definitely want you
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: to tell her. Well, okay, well deal. Oh. First of all, um,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: this whole letter sums up in the first sentence, I'm
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: in my late fifties and I'm still a bachelor. Period.
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: Everything after that statement right there explains that statement right there.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: This is how you are in your late fifties and
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: still a bachelor. And from the top of this letter
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: to the bottom, you do nothing to gain any sympathy
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: from anybody. You can't get no real advice from nobody
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: because you ain't really asking for none. So don I
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: hate to tell you this man, you don't have no
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: problem meeting beautiful women, and I don't have a problem
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: getting a cookie. Okay, I own a copy business. How
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: ironic this is because I own came and he called
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: wall to wall carpet cleaning and installation business. So you
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: know how it is. Oh yeah, oh you being all
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: kinds of house. I can count the beautiful women's houses.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I've been in on two fancers, but you have ten fingers, Steve.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Everybody else was somebody's grandmama. Obviously I didn't add the
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: same client. Tell you I won't get into this. And
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: you went to a customer's house. She was gorgeous, had

• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Will get back into it right after this. You have
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: no idea what it is. This is Carlos Miller, and
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: this may or may not be the Steve Harvey Morning Shows.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, Steve,
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: come on, let's recap today's strawberry letters. Subject, I got
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: more than her measurements. Um, you're in your late fifties,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: got a carb cleaning installation business, I mean late fifty
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: steal a bachelor. Ain't got a problem meeting beautiful women.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: Ain't got a problem getting a cookie. But see something
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: wrong with you because you a bachelor in still a bachelor.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: You said, steal a bachelor in your late fifties, So
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: it's something wrong. Let's clearly know this, because if you
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: were that good of a man, some woman would have
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: got in by now. But you don't want a good
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: woman in right now. You've never wanted a good woman
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: in because you won't women. I mean, let's it be real, dog,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: that's your thing. I ain't knocking it, but I'm just
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: explaining to you yourself. So you went to this customer's house.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: She was gorgeous. You had a nice house, A long
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: story short, she had on real estate business. Y'all had
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: sex the same day. Y'all been together almost every day
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: since then. She thinks we're dating. And I don't mind
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: what dog, if you're with a woman every day. How
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: she don't think y'all date. She thinks we date. No, doc,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: you're dating her, No, Doc, that's what you're doing. If
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: you're with a woman every day, you are giving the impression,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: and not only given the impression, you are committing the
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: act of dating. So the woman ain't delusional. You just
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: said you've been with her every day and you don't
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: mind that because she started referring her homeowners to me
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: for carpet and other flooring needs. So she's been great
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: for my business. Okay, so now you're a user. You
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: do women dirty, you get them on the stream, you're
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: not honest and true with them. You obviously haven't told
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: her about the other women, because I'll show you why
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: you haven't done that later on in the letter. So
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: you put women on the stream so they think you're dating,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: and then you don't mind because it helps your business
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: or you're a piece of work right here, man, I
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: still had a few women on the side that I
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: kick it with, you know, but I've been careful not
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: to mess things up with my main woman. This is
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: your whole problem, though, Corpit cleaning player, So you know
• 1:03:05

• 1:03:09

• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: stop sitting. This is your way well, you messed up
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: because one crazy night I had to go see a
• 1:03:22

• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: attracted her, and vice versa. She invited me over for

  Speaker 1: Today's Strawberry Letter at Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: and don't forget to check out the Strawberry Letter podcast
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: on demand coming up at forty six after the hour,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: Kanye West, we'll talk about it right after this. You're
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yesterday, Kanye West
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: was in Houston. He went on stage at Lakewood Church
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: to talk with Pastor Joel Olstein about his spiritual transformation.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian and their daughter North were also there sitting
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: in the front row. Kanye and Joel Olstein had quite
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: a chat Sunday at Lakewood Church, and one of the
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: big takeaways was Kanye going to bat for Joel and
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: his reputation in the Christian community. Kanye noted that Pastor
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Joel was responsible for converting thousands upon thousands of people
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: to the right path of Christianity, and for that alone,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: he should be praised instead of criticized. Kanye also discussed
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: his two sixteen mental breakdown, and he went on to
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: say that he was the greatest artist that God has
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: ever created and now he was working for the man
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: upstairs again instead of working for the devil. Kanye also
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: visited the Houston Harris County jails and performed for them
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: and brought inmates to tears. I'm not mad at him.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I think is a greatness what he's trying to accomplish.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: People have to keep in mind. Let's all keep in
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: mind now that this is a new walk for Kanye,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: So in your newness brings a lot more obvious flaws
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: with him because you knew it something. He's not a
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: fully developed Christian, nor am I see. I've been hanging
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: on to my newness title for some years now because
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: I like the newness title because that way it keeps
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: me from getting put up into the advanced Christian category,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: which then puts me under a lot more pressure and scrutiny.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: I think the scrutiny that Kanye is getting is unfair.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: I think that he's a new person that's finding his
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: walk with Christ. And I think the fact that he
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: wants to do this should just be applauded from that point.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: The fact that he's not perfect should be expected. Oh
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: what what do you guys think about? Um, we're gonna
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: change it up. I gotta ask you guys this because
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: this was kind of trending to Carla. Not sure I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: heard him wanting to say something about it. I think
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: because Tommy, you should let them have their opinion too. No, absolutely,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not upset. I applaud him on this. I just
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: remember his newness of being a Republican too, you know,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: I remember that. So I just have to sit back
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: and watch and watch it on back and forth with
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: the political stuff that you know. I ain't forgot that.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I ain't forgotten. I ain't forgot slavers, how to charge,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I ain't forgotten none of this. So I'm just looking
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: at the brother. Hopefully he's getting it right. Naturally. That's
• 1:09:22

  Speaker 1: Morning Show. All right, Steve, here we are our last
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: break of the day on this Monday. And boy, it
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: was a good Monday, Steve. Yeah, it was a lot.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: It was a lot to talk about today, wasn't it.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: He hasn't, Nick Man, I'm very disappointed. Well, when you
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: think he could have had a job, I mean he
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: could have been playing again, Yeah, in the NFL. It
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: it doesn't make any sense what he did. It doesn't
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: make any sense to anybody who's a thinking person. Now,
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: if you just want to make points, just to be
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: making points, if you want to be contrie, just to
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: be contrite, if you want to be difficult, and you
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: want to say that I'm doing it my way or
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: the highway, didn't go ahead and do that. But don't
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: say you want to throw a football for a team
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: and then walk away from the twenty five teams that
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: came to see you. That don't make no sense. But
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: you agreed to all of this. All of this was
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: set up in a place. You agreed to all of it.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: Then they made the concessions about to not signing the waiver.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: They gave you everything, Bro, I don't know what you want.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: Nothing happened on Saturday that you needed to change your game. Nothing.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: You agreed to all of that, signed up for Tommy Tommy,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: that's how they set it up. Yeah, and then you
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: change your mind. So now instead of twenty five people
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: seeing you, eight people saw you. Okay, you've reduced your
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: chances two thirds. Man, eighty percent of the league came
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: to see eighty dogs Junior. Eighty percent of the league
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: came to see you. You down to thirty percent. Boy,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: even less than that twenty five percent. You moved it
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: to where only twenty five percent. Man, come on stop,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. Come on here, Hey, I want
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: to share something with you. I was I'm in Ghana,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: right and somebody sent me a Joel Oldstein's sermon and
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: man on man, he was talking about how God is
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: your source. And this was really really good for me yesterday.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: And it's an older sermon, but I really I watched
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: it on YouTube and it was so powerful what he
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: was saying, man, and it was Augustine, was a really
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: really good reminder to me. And I thought maybe as
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: a closer remark, it might be a reminder to you
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: that he reminded us that God is your source. God
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: is your source of all good things, all great things
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: that happened in your life, all the blessings, all the
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: measures of faith in favor that you get. They come
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: from a place on high. Is your source. Now, people
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: are resources, but they are contracts from God. God sends
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: people into your life as resources to give your promotion,
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: to give you some advice when a bank gives you
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: the loan, when they grant you the consent for him,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: when they allow your contract to go through, when you
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: finally make the sale. Those people that He uses to
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: say yes to you, or resources for those people come
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: from the source. The source is always God behind all
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: the resources is the source. So be grateful for the resources,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: but keep your eyes on the source. Keep God first, man.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: God is the source of all things. When the door closes,
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: the source remains the same. God is the source of
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: my life. God is the source of your life as
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: long as you invite him to be the source. Here's
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: your source. But here's your source, whether you invite him
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: or not. God does for you, gives you mercy and favor,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: whether you ask for it or not. But you need
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: to realize that he's the source. How many times has
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: God spoken to a person on your behalf. How many
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: times I can't tell you how many times a person
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: being just good to me I never even met the person. Hey, Steve,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: you know I'm a fan of yours. Man, let me
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: point you in this direction, or hey Steve, let me
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: turn you unit. How many times has God sent a
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: person in your path that was just good to you?
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: You know what that was? That was coming from the source. Man,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: every good thing's come from God above. Keep recognizing the source.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: Don't ever lose sight of the source. That form of
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: gratitude opens up your eyes of awareness to a multitude
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: of things that God is constantly doing for you. See,
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the source behind the scenes tells people to be good
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: to you. I know people that I was jotting down
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: that are from God, that God has placed in my
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: path for whatever the reason. And it's just Him putting
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: resources in my path so that the blessings that He
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: has for me comes through, sometimes the resources, oftentimes the resources,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: but the resources still come from the source. You cannot
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: lose sight of the source. Show God that you got faith,
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: Show him you got faith, keep taking steps and trusting
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: him whole hardly that he is the source. Because Man,
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something God has lined up everything
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: you need. He sees everything you're going through. He's ahead
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: of you on this right here. God has already lined
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: up what you need. Just go to the Go to
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: the source, y'all. Supernatural things are about to happen. Supernatural
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: things are happening in my life. I'm watching. Keep looking
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: to the source, y'all. Acknowledge God as the source. God
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: has preprepared blessings for you. Go get them, and just
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: honor Him and recognize Him as the source. Those are
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: my close remarks today. That's it. Have yourself a great weekend.
