  Speaker 1: me or one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Thank God for it all the time. Too. Well, here
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we go today. I want to share something with you
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that I'll help you because it's helped me. You know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I was telling the story once that this magazine called
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Rob Report, that that was a statue I used to
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: see for years. I started buying Rob Reporting magazines years ago.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to see what a fluent people did,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you know, just wanted to see what people with means did,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what type of investments they did, what they bought, you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: what they traveled to. The Rob Report. It's just like, oh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: it's like a big boy toy magazine. You can see
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: what cars is out. I didn't have money for none.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Of it. I was dreaming, though, you know, I just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: wanted to see. And there's a statue inside this magazine
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of this man who was coming out of this bronze rock.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And he was completely bronze, and he was muscular, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: you know, he didn't look nothing like me, but he
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: was a man coming up out of a rock. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: he had a huge hammer and a chisel in his hand.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And as his body from the waist up was coming
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out of this huge piece of stone, you could see
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: where it was him who had been chiseling and forming himself.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So the name of the statue was self made man.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: And for years man I said, Man, I'm gonna get
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a big house one day, and I'm gonna put that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: statue in the backyard in the corner. That's gonna be
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: my little spot where I go chill, because I'm a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: self made man. Well, after years of working at becoming
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: somebody and having reached a degree of success, I would
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with that statue. There's nothing about
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that statue that appeals to me anymore. Because on my
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: journey and in my quest to become what I thought
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: would be this self made man, why I could put
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: this statue and had a statue in the corner, be
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kind of cold, symbolizing it. I had made it. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: realized on my journey there's no such thing as a
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: self made man. That we all need help, and that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: God places people in our paths along the way that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: benefit us oftentimes, and it's the most unlikely person oftentimes,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and the most unlikely way that He presents these people
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: in front of you is crazy how he does it. Man.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: And so this is a statue now that I look
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: at and I go, I see what the creator was saying.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And that's cool, but not not for me, because I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: needed help. And I've learned a lot of things like
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: this along the way. And the part I wanted to
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: share with you all about this is you've got to develop.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: You've got to develop a sense of purpose. You have
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to develop a sense of purpose. That's different. See, your
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: purpose is created for you by God because when He
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: created you as an individual from whatever two parents you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: may have, that's not important here. When he created you,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: he had something in mind for you, and it was
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a purpose. God has not created a single soul to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: become a criminal. God has never created a single soul
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to be a drug dealer. This came about through some
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: decisions we made as sinners, and we stayed in that place.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But see what He created us. He has a wonderful
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: idea for us. But God gives us human beings this
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: thing called choice, and we have the power to decide.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So you can decide if you're going to adhere to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the purpose that God created you and made you for,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: or you can go ahead and make some choices on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: your own. So like, if God wanted to give you
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a life and give it to come to you and
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: give you life more abundantly, and that's his promise if
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you come to him, if you choose him, then cool.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: But if you say, well this ain't moving along fast enough,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my own life of abundance, I'm gonna
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: start slinging. Well, guess what now, Tad. You've made a decision.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And see God's decisions and choices. The one thing I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: learned about him, God's decisions, choices, his voice, it has
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: no sin in it. Ain't it amazing how many people
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it came up to you and say, the Lord wanted
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: me to do this to you, and I'm doing it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That God is punishing you and I'm doing this to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you because God gonna see that you get your day.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Who is this person? Who is this person that God
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden gave this authority and power to God?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't get that to nobody. Man, nobody, This person
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: don't had a right to hold you to your past,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the right to make you pay. So who makes them
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: pay when they make mistakes? Because they all make them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So when I say you have to have a sense
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of you have to develop a strong sense of purpose.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: That means you have to strongly get in touch with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: your creator to find out what the purpose you were
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: created for. See, it's two things that I had to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: learn along the way. My career was what I was
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: paid for. My calling is what I was made for. See,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: it's two different things, folks. It took me a long
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: time to learn it. Some people think that they calling
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: is to be a performer. Well, that's what you paid for,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and a big part of your life is your performance
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is tied directly to your gift. But what you made for, though,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: what you made for is to bring about some significant
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: change in another human being's lives because we are all
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: linked together in this chain. That's what you are here for.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Everybody has a purpose to do something wonderful, meaningful, or
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: impactful for another person. You think the guy that invented
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the airplane was merely inventing the airplane so he could fly. No,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: his purpose was to become an inventor, to come up
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: with this invention so he could fly and we all fly. See.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Sometimes God will make you successful so you can become
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: successful so you can turn around and teach other people
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: how to become successful. God save people, so you can
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: turn around it tell other people how wonderful it is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: to be saved. You see how this thing work. That's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: what we have to do as people. And it's nothing
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that we have to go and discover. We have to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: go and develop it. But if you haven't discovered your purpose,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's simply because here's it. If you haven't discovered your
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: purpose is simply because you have not contacted the creator
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and maker of your soul to ask and find out
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: why you were created. It's as simple as that. If
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you buy a toyota, there's an owner's manual on the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: inside that will tell you everything you know how to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: best operate your toyota, how to make it work, how
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: what to do They got a troubleshooting section. Your faith
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: is the same thing as an owner's manual in your car.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Open up that bulk man. Find out how to jumpstart
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: your life, how to troubleshoot it and get on with
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: your life, and find out your purpose and develop a
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: strong sense of purpose. All right, okay, you're listening to show.

  Speaker 1: told you saying yeah, dinner dreams, He don't care. Yeah,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: all right, let's move on Alexi and Detroit, because that
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: relationship is gonna be what it is. Alexei and Detroit.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Steve says, I'm a twenty eight year old female and
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I met a thirty two year old man at my
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: new church for our first and only date. I met
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: him at a dance studio because he's into ballroom dancing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He had on a full leotard and he flowed effortlessly
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: around the dance floor with his lips pursed and his
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: toes pointed. I wasn't as good as him, so he
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: grabbed a mail partner and kept dancing. As I watched.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: That date was so different, and I was turned off.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: He asked me for a second date. Should I ask
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: him if he's heterosexual before the next date? C l oh,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: don't cloth come on. Clothe wont to be involved in
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: this type of question due to the climate win these dates,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: so I have to be very careful how I answer this.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So just let me go over what you said. Okay,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: if you own a date with a man whose lips
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: is perched and they have on full leatage, and when
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: you ain't dancing, ass flowing and flee freely and your
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: tones don't point as good as his point, and he
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: grabs a man to finish dance, shit, you go on
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: another day. I ain't got to ask him nothing about sexuality.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not gonna say that and get
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: in no damn trouble. But you got on the four
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: leotar set. You can point your toes better than she can't.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: That's because he's a dancing dancing Yeah, that was ball
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: room That ain't that. I thought it was ballroom too,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Tommy to point ain't in ballroom dance. But if leotars
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: ain't in ball Hello that you did that yourself. If
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you're in the dance studio, no, not o. But that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: aceptible dance. Tu see though, Yeah, that's ballroom dancing. Yeah,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: but stars every week though we ain't see I ain't
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: seen nobody. Nelly didn't have on four leotars. But he's
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: not a professor dancer star, he's the star on Dancing
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: with the Star. Yeah, I think you're looking at this
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: this a different way, Steve. We're looking at it through
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: a leotard the same way you gave it to it
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: looking at im. But the leotard is acceptable for a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: man or a woman if you're a dancer. Though plenty
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of Junior was saying, Steve, but just like Julia had
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: listening and dancing with the stars, when they dance, they
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: do different types of dancing because they're professional dancing, so
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you just never know what dance. Wait a minute, hold
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: on hold hold on, y'all, hold on just to see
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: say that k see how many more me? And he
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: grabbed and finish up the dance with all right, we're
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: moving on, Edgar, She said, I'm an older gentleman and
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I've been in a relationship for eleven years. It's what
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you pay attention with a beautiful, feisty woman. I wanted
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to marry be Ahead Junior. I wanted to marry her
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: years ago, but she doesn't believe in marriage. She's cheated
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: on me twice years ago. I forgave her, but I
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: didn't forget. I think she's interested in someone new again
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: because she's been talking about getting a breathlift and eyelift
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: and boat hot. I'm more laid back, but she loves
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to run the streets and travel. Will she ever settled down?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Or do you think she's up to something? I don't know, dude,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, if you can't get where you
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: want to go with him, if you go down to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: this dance studio, there's a dude down there with some
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: leotizo with some pointy toes, and when the water's right,

  Speaker 1: miss A and trip. Thank you very much, and this
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: is a trip of the news. Everybody, Good morning. Well,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: as expected, the Republican dominated US Senate did vote last
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: night fifty two to forty eight to confirm right wing
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, and with
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: her confirmation coming only eight days before election day and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: only thirty days appters she was nominated. That makes her
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: confirmation process one of the fastest in US history. Judge
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Barrett fills the seat left, of course, vacant by the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Clarence Thomas.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Delivered the preliminary swearing into office or last night. She'll
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: be sworn into office this morning officially as well. Barrett's
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: lifetime appointment gives Conservatives a six to three majority on
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the High Court, and the right wing court will now
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to make a number of decisions on
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: some controversial issues, including reproductive rights, Second Amendment rights that
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: would be guns, and the affordable healthcare reacting to it,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: though sent a majority, Leader Mitch McConnell seems somewhat resigned
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: to receiving bad news on election day, but with some
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: sort of legacy, a lot of what we've done over
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the last four years will be undone sooner or later.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: By the next election. It won't be able to do
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: much about this for a long time to come. In fact,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump has now put three people on the Supreme
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Court and filled over one hundred federal judge ships with conservatives.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Cops in Boston say they've arrested a thirty nine year
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: old man for setting a ballot dropbox on fire outside
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: of Boston Public Library Sunday morning. Authority say the act

  Speaker 1: As for the ballots, they say that out of the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: one hundred twenty two that were inside that box, eighty
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: seven are legible and are able to be processed. Most
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: of the remaining thirty five could probably be read, but
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: as many as ten, maybe five to ten will quote
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: badly damage. One of the three white Louisville, Kentucky cops
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: involved in the killing of black female Lubernacy medical technician
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: on A. Taylor, admitting that the young woman quote didn't
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: do anything to deserve a death sentence. Sergeant John Manley
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: two others ram their way into miss Taylor's apartment around
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning as part of a no
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: knock warrant looking for a drugs suspect who'd been arrested
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: at another location hours early. A grand jury refused to
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: indict any of the cops involved in shooting her to death.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Warner Brothers has signed one of the founders of the
• 35:24

• 45:19
  Speaker 1: school and all, and we the black parents, we all

  Speaker 1: on with? Well? Actually, we're you know, we feel privileged
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: to be you know, you know, like I said, there's
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: only a handful of blacks, and we try to carry
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: ourselves in a dignified way, our presence, our attitude, the
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: way we handle ourselves. And uh, you know, Kaylin's doing
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: very good in school from what I understand, and very
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: nice with all the rest of the kids. She's getting along.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: That's not the problem. What we're what we're trying to
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: get is the grooming of Kaylin. You know, Kaylin has
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: these braids, and what we were trying to do is give.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: You know, we had a meeting about it. We want
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: to hold hold of Did you just say her grooming
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: something wrong with her grooming? Well, it's not necessarily her clothing,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: of course, you know the kids were the uniforms, but
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: the braids. You know, we want to represent ourselves with
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of dignity the way we carry ourselves. We
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: want to be um, you know, pretty much nice and clean,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: spitting polished. We would really prefer for her hair was
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: straight and opposed to being braided up. You know, you mean,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it kind of gives off a ghetto type of look
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: to it, and that's what we're trying to avoid. Are
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: you crazy? It's something wrong with you. You know, first
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: of all, how the hell you get my num? If
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: you couldn't call me for the meeting, why you calling
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: me now? Well, like I said, man, the meeting was
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: to get the general consensus on where all the parents
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: feeling the same way about your daughter and her braid.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: You know, we're just trying to keep everything class here.

• 47:08
  Speaker 1: you what you can attend. You could what you can
• 47:10

• 48:04
  Speaker 1: of fact, as much money as it costs could go

• 48:08
  Speaker 1: can get together and pay the tuition? How about fact?
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: Are you turning to sit here and tell me that
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: you got a problem taking her brains down? And wearing
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: her hair straight so she can look a lot more
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: classy than what she looks right now. At your pathetic
• 48:19

• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the Strawberry Letter subject. I can't stand my family period. Okay,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm a twenty three year old woman
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: living with my grandparents, and I have a major problem
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: with them. Recently, my grandfather has been pressuring me to
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: have a good relationship with my siblings, and I've told
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: him several times I'm not interested in getting to know
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: them better. I know this sounds harsh, but I can explain.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: My birth mother is a hood rat kitchen beautician working
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: at the Dollar Store, and she dresses like she's my age.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: She has three children, and she's never taken care of
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: any of us. Family members have raised her children My
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: father isn't as bad, but he has a wife that
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: I can't stand because she broke up my father's first
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: marriage by getting pregnant. She and my dad have two
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: children together, so I'm not a priority to him anymore.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: He helped her finish college, but when I wanted to
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: attend college, he told me to take out loans, and
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: that hurt. It broke my heart at first to see
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: my father raising my half brothers and giving them the
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: childhood I missed. I have been with my grandparents all
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: of my life, so they're all I need now. My
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: aunt has joined with my grandparents to make me visit
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: my mother and get to know her. She said that
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: since I'm the oldest, it's my job to reach out
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: to my brothers and sisters. She has tried to get
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: me to go to counseling because she and my grandparents
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: are worried about me. I feel as though I'm not
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: obligated to have a relationship and ship with my siblings.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I can't stand my family period. I want to protect
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: my peace and I'm just fine. How can I get
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: my family to let me be? Well, it doesn't sound
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: like they're going to let you be. You never know,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I mean your grandparents. I'm sure getting on an age.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: They they might want you to do it for sentimental reasons.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm not mad at you. I'm
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: really not mad at you at all. You have every
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: right to feel the way you feel. I mean, you've
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: had it tough, you know, like a lot of people,
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of us, A lot of people have stories
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: and testimonies and things like that. Your bitterness is understandable.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: You've been through a lot, like I said, abandonment by
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: both parents, and the jealousy you feel towards your younger siblings.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: You know, the animosity you feel towards your mother because
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: she wasn't there for you. But you had your grandparents,
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: so you know you had a decent life. You have
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: your grandparents. You're human, so you can make mistakes. It's okay.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I just you know, you have to ask yourself here
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: is is this way the way you want it to
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: be productive? Is it mentally healthy for you? Are you
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: happy where you are in life right now? I know
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: you say you want peace, but do you have that piece?
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: And what is wrong with meeting your family with sitting
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: down with your mother? I mean they may have changed
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: people change. People do change. Maybe your mom is a
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: different person now, and certainly you don't blame your brothers
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: for anything, so you can meet with them. I think
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: there are two ways to look at this, and one
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: way is that it could be really good. It could
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: be a positive experience. Try it. I mean, you never know,
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: it could be just the healing you need. Since you
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: don't want to go to counseling because there are some issues.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know with you you could hear it
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: in your letters, So I say, try it. That's what
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going with. Try it, you know, Steve. The whole
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: time I was listening to this let, I was thinking
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: of a sermon. This letter has sermon written all over it.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: So when we come back, my second half will be
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: a sermon. But I would like to say Shirley that
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I absolutely agree for the first time with every single
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: thing you have said. She has issues, you need some
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: type of counseling. You don't want to do counseling or
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: understand it. Then what you have to do is you
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: have to go and try to make peace. See one
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: of the reasons you don't have peace is because you
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: ain't ever tried to make none. See, you can't give
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: what you never had. So if you're not trying to
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: make peace, you probably not gonna have it. Now. You
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: say you want to protect your peace, but it constantly
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: gets disrupted by your grandparents telling you to go have
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: a relationship with your father, go have a relationship with
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: your mother. Family is important, it really is. And when
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: these people start leaving this world and y'all get older,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: you're gonna discover that you might have missed something really special. So,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Shirley is one correct. You need to try to make
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: peace with your family and just forgive. You got to
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: forgive your mamma for being a hood rat, a kitchen beautician.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: You know, maybe that's all she had. You don't know
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: what happened to her. And then you're mad at you
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: daddy's wife because she broke up y'all's mamma near marriage
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: because she got pregnant. No, your daddy got her pregnant.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: You know you ain't got to blame the woman. So
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: and then your man cause your daddy taking better care
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: of the other baby than he is of you. It said, Shirley,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: got it right. It's a lot of issues in here.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: You need counseling. You do need counseling. If you're not,
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: you now to at least go and make peace. Forgiveness
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: is not for you. Forgiveness is not for the other person.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Forgiveness is for you. It's when you don't forgive a person,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: it's like you're drinking the poison, waiting on them to die. So,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: now that I've said that, when we come back, we're
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: gonna preach the letter. Okay, yeah, yeah, we have come on, deacon.

• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: has an election year tradition, you know, of interviewing the
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: president and the vice president. So this year was no different.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: Did you guys see when President Trump walked out of
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: his sixty minutes interview. People have been talking about it, yeah,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks. Now our question is why
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: does the president want to be president? I mean, he
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: can't even handle Leslie stalls sixty minute interview with tough questions,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: and she told him the questions we're going to be tough.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: Take a listen, Leslie, you started with me. Your first
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: statement was, are you ready for tough questions? Are? That's
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: no way to talk. It's no way to talk. At
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: this point, one of our producers interrupted to advise about
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: the time remaining in the interview. I think we have
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: enough of an interview here, Hope. Okay, that's enough. Let's go,

• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: still care be careful, be careful for your old last fall.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: But see, honestly, what was wrong with her. She let
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: him know that the questions would be tough. He only
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: wants to be interviewed by Fox so they can lob
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: him questions, compliment him, tell him what he's a great job,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: and stay on questions that he has answers for and
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: then massage those so they sound like he answered the questions.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: This is the most unpresidential person who has ever resided
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: in the White House, and it's enough, is enough? And
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: then he said to his girl, Hope, Hope, we've had enough.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go. You know, Oh you know, look, man the
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: dog dog. If you don't want to be president, just
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: tell us that. But see, you can't be the president
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: just for your base. Yeah, you're supposed to be the
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: president of the United States. This is the worst person.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand. I'm gonna be honest with you.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand why a person votes for this guy,
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: especially if you're not in politics. I know why the
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: Senators is pushing forward. I understand the only way I
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: can see a person voting for Donald Trump is because
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: you have to be just like him. You just think
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: that the way he is is absolutely fine, and that's
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: the way you feel and think about the immigration, about race, yeah,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: about poor people, about black people, brown people, all of that.
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: You just think that way. And isn't it supposed It's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: not supposed to be an easy job. That's why everybody
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't is not president. This is a tough job. You're
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: you're you're the leader of the free world. You're the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: most powerful man in the world. Yeah, you know, she's
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: gonna just spoon feeds you with you know, baby questions.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. You're the president. Could it be
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: that he don't want the job no more? And he
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: just said, let me ask as stupid as I can
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: so they don't vote for him. It Could it be
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: that I'm just trying to find something, you know, just yeah,
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: could it be you just don't won't it no more?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: You just gonna act a damn food on the way.
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: I think he wants it with everything and him he don't.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: You know, this is not regular behavior. This is really
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: something wrong with Yeah. I think the first election was
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: a complete and total surprise to him. But now that
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: he sees the kind of power you know he has
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and you know he can will I just don't understand.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. He was so rude to Leslie Stall.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: He really was. Yeah, yes, yes, she is. Yeah. Has
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: he been tested mentally? And if they tested, I think
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: we all know something's wrong. Man. He's just unpresidential. Yeah,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: he has no business holding the office of president of
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: United States. And for people that think he does you wrong,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: he can't be who you want your children to be
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: like unless you approve of all his behavior. The sad
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: part of it is it's forty fifty million people who
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: think he's just fine. Yeah, yeah, all right, listen. We'll
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: have more of today's trending stories on the Steve Harvey

  Speaker 1: I was a part of it. I was a part

  Speaker 1: of removing something from the government that was damaging to us.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: This thing that he keeps saying, I've done more for
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: black people, says Abraham Lincoln. Like what like what like?
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: One of the Trump supporters says black people ought to
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: be lucky that they aren't slaves anymore. As one of
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: the Trump supporters said at a rally, they ought to
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: be lucky. Then another Trump supporters said online that black
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: people are being treated better than ever before. I don't
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: see what the problem is better. That is the problem.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: The fact that you think you have the right to
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: decide when we get treated better, better, better, than Who
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: better than what? And who gets to decide what better
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: is for us? Who better to decide what's better for
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: us than us? I'm the best person to decide what's
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: best for me, not you. You know, Look, it's some
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: ignorant people in this country. I mean, we're just gonna
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: have to live with that. There are racist people in
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: this country. We are going to have to continue to
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: deal with that. There are tens of thousands of great
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: policemen and women in this country, but there are so
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: many bad ones that we have to deal with that
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: I used to didn't think the problem wasn't as bad
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: that it was a few bad apples. It seems to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: me like that few has grown. It is amazing how
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: empowered some of these white supremacist groups have been since
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: Trump got into office. So maybe we need to get
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: rid of Trump so that they can slink back down
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: in that hole they was in. Because the proud boys
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: walking around being proud, the white supremacist groups walking around,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: he's our guy. All these mega hats and mega masks
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: look okay, cool. If you want to make America great again,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: that's fine, but it's not going to be at our expense.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: I keep trying to figure out what year was it
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: that America was great. I'm trying to really figure out, y'all,
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: And I'm serious, what year should we go back to
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: when America was at its best? I can't think of one,
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: because this is as good as this ever been, and
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: because of social media we get to see what it
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: really is and it ain't as great as they're making
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: it out to be. Well, I admit this. Yes, is
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: America a great land of opportunity and a great country. Yes,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: but it has a series of problems, especially for people
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: of color, because we don't get to participate like everybody else.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: Somebody told me you aught to shut up you on TV?

  Speaker 1: the numbers we have to turn and flip? You have
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: any idea what that brother or sister that's in corporate
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: America has had to do to get that corporate position.

  Speaker 1: captain of the police department or the fire department. Do

  Speaker 1: you have any idea? No, you don't, but he does.
