  Speaker 1: I chuckle like that reminds me of my oldest brother
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to pass or where he used to laugh like that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny how jeans get passed down through
• 2:25

• 2:27
  Speaker 1: just son't to share with you, that's all. As always,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: always kind of ask God to help me, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: um and and and and I had I had gotten
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: off track a little bit because one of the principles
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of success I want to share with you all today
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is a law of attraction that is a very very
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: serious principle. It cannot be ignored, the law of attraction.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm not going to be able to explain it
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to you as well as the book Secrets can or
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: as well as some people. I can only articulate it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to you the way that I see it. The law
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: of attraction is very, very real. The law of attraction
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: is a principle of success. It is something that everyone
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: has to adhere to. Now, whether you know the law
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of attraction or not, it does not make it not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: exist for you. This is the case where ignorance is
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not the excuse the fact that no one told it
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to you. There is no pass for this one. The
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: fact that you never heard it before. It does not
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: allow you to do it any other way. So let
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: me see if I can put it to you best
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I can. The law of attraction, the law of attraction,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to put it real simple, is the thing that you
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: focus on, the thing that you talk about, the thing
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that you think of, is the thing that you draw
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to you. It's what you attract to you. That's basically
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the law of attraction. The thing that you talk about,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the thing that you think about, the thing that you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: focus on, whatever it is that is what you attract.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: The law of attraction does not differentiate from positive and negative.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: It only does what it does. What I am saying
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: is this in the law of attraction. No matter what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: you think of, no matter what occupies your time, no
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: matter what you say, or no matter what the focus is,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: positive or negative, the law of attraction knows neither one.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It just attracts it. So let's use some examples here.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I can just best example always uses me. That way.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I ain't got to figure out nothing. I can just
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: tell you my side of it. I was in a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: lot of debt one time in my life. This is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: before any of you knew me, so you can understand.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: In case you're not think I don't. I don't want
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you to think that this conversation is about your income level,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: cause it's not. It doesn't matter what the income level
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you are. The law of attraction works in all aspects money, family, relationships, job, career, love.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: It just works that way. Okay, here's the deal. I
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: kept saying, man, this debt is killing me. I got
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to get out. That's what I thought was a good goal,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to get out of debt. But what I kept saying was,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I kept talking about debt, and you know
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: what it kept doing. It kept attracting debt to me.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So guess what I could get out? That's all is
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that crazy? That is an amazing law to understand. What
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: turned it around for me was I started claiming a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: life of abundance. God, I am seeking a life of abundance.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I want to have more than enough. I want to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: be able to help other people. I just want to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: have a law of attraction so that I be able
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to provide my family the lifestyle that I want to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: provide them. I want heavily, father, to be able to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: be an example of your goodness and your grace in
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: my life. That is what I started saying. And guess what,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that's what I started attractive. I'm going to have a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: great relationship with my children. I'm going to be the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: father that I always wanted to be. I'm going to
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: be a good father. I'm going to be a good husband,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and now I am going to do the right things.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I Am going to be the type of example that
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: my sons can look no further than go. I can
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: be like my dad. I want to be able to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: be a place, a beacon of light and hope for
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: my daughters to come to. That's what I started saying.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: That's what I started attracting to my life. The law
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of attraction does not care if you want it to
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: be positive or negative. The law of attraction just attracts
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: whatever it is you focus on, what you think about,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the words that come out your mouth. You cannot overlook
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this principle of success and expect to make it because
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of the fact that you've never heard of the law
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: of attraction, because of the fact that you don't know
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: how it really operates. It does not make it not
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: exist in your day. You can start today attracting the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: right things to your life by changing what you say,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what you think, what you focus on. Change the focus,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: change the thought, change the words that come out your mouth,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and guess what you change what you attract to yourself.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: You have got to ask yourself, why is it? Man? Man,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Somebody said the Bishop Jake's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: one time. They said, man, everything you touch turns to gold.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: He said, no, I just don't touch everything. Man, This
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: is crazy. Come on, man, he has a focus. He
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: has a focus. See, he ain't just everywhere. Bring me
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: any idea, let me try that. No, no, no, man,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he has a focus. He has a law of attraction
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: that's working. Where he's attracting things to his life that
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that's positive. That he can't ask not to say, Bishop James,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: don't have problems because we talk often and man, he
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: have them. Oh, please understand. And he not trying to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: attract the problems. But what he will attract is the
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: proper solution for the problem. And ain't that all you need? Sometimes?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: God did not say that it would be easy. He
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: just said he would be with you. And if God
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is with you, who can be against you? God will
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: make your enemies your footstool. God is powerful man, His
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: word is true. He do what he say he gonna do. Now,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all we got to do is do some of what
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: we say. We ain't gonna do everything, just do some
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of what we say. Okay, here's a deal. God is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: going to do everything he say he gonna to you,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and I just got to do some of the stuff
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we say we're gonna do because he already know we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: ain't gonna do all of it. Yeah, he clear on that,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He clear on that. All right, thank you, you're listening,

  Speaker 1: by the way, touch down to Alabama yesterday, ripping up

  Speaker 1: be worse because so many people are home and not

  Speaker 1: at work, but they said not a lot of damage
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was done. Health officials meanwhile saying that New York could
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: be facing its highest number of coronavirus cases thus far,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: in between the next seven to twenty one day so now.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo says he's tired or always having to pay
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: a game of catchup as he tries to battle the virus.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: He's asking for more federal help. Now help, he says,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: he's going to need to have it ready. We are
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: planning now for the battle at the top of the mountain.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: That's what we are doing. Get a staffing plan ready now,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: equipment stockpiled now. We're gathering equipment that we don't need
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: today because today is not the day of the battle.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: And Cuomo shared some personal information yesterday that demonstrates his point.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: His brother, seeing an anchor, Chris Cuomo, now has tested

  Speaker 1: his stay at home order through the end of April

• 35:24
  Speaker 1: slowing at all. Governor Edwards says that they are now
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: more than five thousand, nineteen cases in Louisiana. At least
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty nine people have died. Numbers like
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: we're reporting today keep us on the very steep trajectory
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: in terms of our case growth, and we know that
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: that puts us firmly on the path to exceeding our
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: capacity to deliver healthcare. In fact, Governor Edwards says his
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: state faces a shortage of, for instance, ventilators by this
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: week end. The Detroit Auto Show has been canceled, that
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: venue turned into a giant makeshift hospital there. Meanwhile, how

  Speaker 1: Very appropriate. Now, black to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: You're listening. Today is a National Census day, and we've
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: talked about how important it is, especially for our community
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: to be counted in the twenty twenty census. So we
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: have somebody here today that's gonna give you a lot
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: more insight on why the census is so important. We've
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: invited the Chief of Public Information Office at the United
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: States Census Bill to join us. He's got a lot
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: of great information to share with us about this year's census,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: and we had him on the show ten years ago
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: to be exact. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the show. Mister Michael Cook. Welcome, well, thank you, thank you. Sorry,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: hey man, how you doing. I'm doing well. It couldn't
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: be better. You know, it's a census day. It says
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: time to celebrate, time to reference the fact that the
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: once every ten year account is here. We just want
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: people to know why it's important and what all the
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: benefits are from responding to the census, so that they
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: are not missed. Well, here's this is important because I
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: want everybody in our listeners to the audience to understand
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: how important taking the census is. It's important because for
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: the first time ever, we have an option to respond
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: online or by phone. So tell us more about Census Day.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: This day Census Day, it's the reference day for the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty Census. We use this day to determine who
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: should be counted and where you should be counted in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty census. So we're asking everyone to go
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to twenty twenty Census dot gov and to respond. We
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: have sent invitation mailers in the mail across the country
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: to invite people to log on to fill it out
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the form online. They can also call or they can
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: mailt a questionnaire back if they prefer not to go
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: online to fill it out. So on this day and
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: any day going forward until you can finish in respond
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: to the twenty twenty Census, you should think about your
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: household on April first and fill out the questionnaire representing
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: everybody who's in the house, So it's not just the
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: people that are related to you, but everybody that resides there.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: So if you have a cousin and uncle, someone that's
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: a roommate, they should be counted on the form. And
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: please please count count the young children because they are
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: historically undercounted on the census. How long do they have
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: to respond to this survey? From now until August fourteenth
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: they can respond. As of right now, more than fifty
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: million households have responded to the twenty twenty census, so
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: thirty four point seven percent of the households across the
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: nation have stood up, have been counted, they have responded,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: and we need everyone to respond. Given the current situation
• 39:04

  Speaker 1: You're listening to all right, we're back everybody. We have
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: our special guests today from the Public Information Office at
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the United States Census Bureau. His name is mister Michael Cook.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: He's back with us again and we're talking about it
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: because today a census day, and for the first time,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: we have an option to respond online or by phone. Now,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: all you got to do right now while we're sitting
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: at home doing nothing, and call everybody to get them
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to complete the form because I'm gonna tell you why
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: it's so important in just a second. But go to
• 40:03

• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Just two zero two zero twenty twenty Census dot gov
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: and apply and fill it out today. Now, Michael Cook,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: let me ask you this man, why is it important,
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: especially in our communities to fill out this census form.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: It's important for two reasons. It actually comes down to
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: power and it comes down to money. It's important to
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: your community, and your response matters because getting an accurate
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: count result in representation in the House of Representatives, and
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: it informs how legislative districts and boundaries are then drawn.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Voting districts are drawn, school districts are drawn. So it's
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: about representation, it's about power, But there are intrinsic benefits
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: that stick to your community for the next ten years.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: By an accurate and complete count. There are hundreds of
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars in federal, state, and local funds that
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: are spent in our communities each year, including funding for
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: local hospitals, emergency services, where they put bus routes, where
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: businesses are developed. So all of the decisions that come
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: down to the local level that benefit your lack and
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: impact your life are based on an accurate and complete count.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: So if you are missed, your community misses out on
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: those benefits billions of dollars spent at the local level
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: every year for the next ten years. Yeah. See, folks,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: I want you to understand how important that is far us.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: When we complain about the lack of facilities, the lack
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: of resources, the lack of hospitals, schools, the moneys that's
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: put into the schools, the roads, the bussing systems, whether
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: businesses would even bother to come here, Why there are
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: no jobs, jobs, grocery stores, stuff like this. They can
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: always use the fact that, well, there's only x amount
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: of people here and based on the percentage of people.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: We only should give x amount of funds for that. Hilaria. Well,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: now we've heard ourselves. The census buier is not isis.
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: They are not coming to pick you up and take
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: you away. They have to count all the people in
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: the house for districting, for power, for voting, for school districts,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: for where first responders, how many we get there? What
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: fire stations, how many ambulance services? All of this, man,
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: this is they miss lacking and hurting in our neighbors.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Mister Cook, when you're doing this time, you do me
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: a favor. Feel my cousin Ryanny Cooper. This ain't got
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with his court. They are his child support.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: He tell him that so he can feel this paper
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: where I got Plea Rodney. The information that we collect
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: is covered by Title thirteen. Title thirteen protects that data
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: of that information from life. I will go to jail,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: I will get fined. I take a lifetime oath in
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: anybody at the Census Bureau that looks at your personal
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: identifiable information, they have to have a reason to look
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: at it. And when we release the statistics, the information
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: is only released in aggregate, so it doesn't identify you.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: That information isn't shared with any other federal agencies, any
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: other enforcement agencies, IRS, no one. That information is only
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: used for statistical purposes, so decision makers at all levels

  Speaker 1: It's the Strawberry Letter. All right, thank you, nephew. My
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: husband belongs to the streets. It says Dear Stephen Shirley.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I am a married woman in my mid forties and
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: my husband is too. We've been together a total of
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: five years, and we've been married three years. Early on,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: he explained that he had some medical issues that sometimes
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: kept him from having sex. When we got married, we
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: had only had sex once, but he had found other
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: ways to please me, so I was happy and our
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: marriage was great. I hoped and prayed that he could
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: get his libido back and we could have sex, have sex,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: you know, like a real married couple. My husband, my
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: hopes and prayers were shattered recently and I found out
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: he had been lying to me for five years. I
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: got a call from a woman saying she has been
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: seeing my husband for for a year, and she found
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: out that he has a wife. I was curious to
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: know if they had been having sex, and she told
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: me that my husband is a beast in the bedroom
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: and that he is the main thing. That's the main
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: thing that God are so hooked on him. She told
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: me that he is several girls that he messes around with,
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: and he tells everyone he is single. After the call't
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: I decided not to say anything until I could prove
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: it to myself. I started noticing that he keeps his
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: phone close to him all the time, and he works
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: late a lot, and he's been hanging out with his
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: boys on the weekend. More. These were things that never
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: stood out before. I even drove past a woman's house
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: one night and saw his car there, but I still
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: haven't confronted him. He didn't want me sexually, but he
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to marry me and share his life with me.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Please help me make sense of this. I love him
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to end my marriage, but this
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: is a major blow to my self esteem. What's wrong
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: with me? How should I handle this? Wow? First of all,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: you know what, don't blame yourself. Do not do that.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, we as women seem to always blame ourselves
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: when things go wrong in our marriage. And that's not
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: to say that, you know, sometimes we don't have something
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: to contribute to the fact that our marriage may be
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: going wrong or it may be ending. But don't be
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: so quick to blame yourself. Okay, there are two people
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: in this marriage, clearly, and this is an awful situation
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: you're in. You said you've known him for five years,
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: you've been married for three. Early on in the marriage,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: he told you that he had medical issues and that
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: you know, he may not be able to perform. Did
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: you question him at any point? You know, if anything,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: you know, perhaps you could be blamed. I don't want
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: to use that term because it's so harsh, but because
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: you didn't really question him, I mean, what did he
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: say his medical issues were, Was he making moves to
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: get help? Was he under a doctor's care. I'm just
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: a bit surprised that you didn't go more there with him.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe you thought, like a lot of women, that he
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: would change after you guys got married. Clearly that did
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: not happen. It seems like you got less sex after
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: you guys got married. But when the woman called you
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: found out that he was really, really really not given
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: it to you, but he was given it to her
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: and a whole bunch of other women according to her.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: So you haven't confronted him yet. What are you holding
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: onto this information for? What do you think or hope
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: is going to happen if you don't talk to him
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: about it. I mean, he's cheating on you. He's not
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the person he said he was the only thing maybe,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, nothing about him is real. He lied live live,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: live live. You gotta confront him at some point. You
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: gotta get to the truth because your whole marriage is
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: a sham. Your whole marriage is a sham. And I
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: know you don't want to deal with this, even though
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: you said you know you still love him. You've fallen
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: into someone you think he is. That's not who he is.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: You have to get to the bottom of that. You
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: have to have a conversation with him. And and there's
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: no time like the president, Steve, don't I don't understand
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: the letter. This is a This entire letter is written
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: by sister. I gotta tell you that you just in denial.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: This entire letter is about it. Now. You've been together
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: five years, been married three He explained to me that
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: he has some medical issues that sometimes kept him from
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: having sex. Yeah, the medical issue is he can't drive
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: tween these houses fast to know, that's the damn medical issue.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: He can't get his foot to mash on that gas
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: pedal and get his reflexus to time these lights to
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: get back to the house in all this hell. When
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: we got married, we only had sex once, but he
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: found other ways to please me. That's because he had
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: to save up. So I was happy I married his
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: great I hoped him, prayed he would get his libido
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: back and we could have sex like America. Real couple
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: where you got your dream shouted. Recently you found out
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: he'd been lying to you for five years. Got a
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: call from this lady says she's been seeing your husband
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: for over a year, and she finally found out that
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: he got a wife. Then I did see this the
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: woman in you now, and I understand. I was curious
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: to know if they had been having sex. She sex,
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: he said, Hell base at having such base brain just
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I'm slave Lode, Wow, captured, can't go We quarantine Lode. Huh, Well,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: well I finished the letter. When we come back, it
• 1:00:13

• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: I'm Steve. We'll have part two of your response coming

• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: get back into it right after this. You're listening. All right, Steve,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: come on, let's recap today's strawberry letter. My husband belongs
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: to the streets. The end of the letter says, please
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: help me make sense of this. I love him, I
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: don't want to end my marriage, but this is a
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: major blow to myself esteem. What's wrong with me? How
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: should I handle this? Well? First of all, let's get
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: out of denial. Your husband lied to you about having
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: a libido problem. So before y'all got married, he only
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: got married. Y'all only had sex once and he moved in.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: But he found other ways to pleasure you, and he
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: knew he could and that would satisfy you. You were
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: hoping he'd get his libido back, like it's a magic
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: trick or something, and he can get it back. Well,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: he didn't need it back because he was using it
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: all over town. So you gotta call from this lady
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: saying she'd been seeing your husband for a year, finally
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: found out he had a wife. Then you was gearious
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: to know if they had been having sex. What what
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna at whatever? Yeah, you've been you seeing
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: my husband? Are y'all having sex? Here? Brief dropping the
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: hard and bridge bringing it wa the way, knocking lamps
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: off to stare. Come and get it, Come and get it,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: don't stop bringing anyway, and said that's the main thing
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: that got us so hooked on him. And then she
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: told him that he got super girlfriends that he messed
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: around with, and he tell everybody he's single. Now. He
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: wouldn't let it get real cloudy. After the call, I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: decided not to say nothing. What are you blind? This
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: cannot be a sister, I cannot be said. After the
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: phone call, I decided not to say that. All the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: reason her sister ain't saying that she's busy loading the rifle,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: other than that they got something for you. I decided
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: not to say nothing and to get this next line
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: until I could prove it to myself. Wait a minute,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to what does that mean. I decided not
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: to say nothing until I could prove it to myself.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: But you already got to prove because listen to this.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I started noticing that he keeps his phone close to
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: him all the time, didn't I tell you at the
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: top of the letter, this is a letter about denial.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: He keep his phone close to him all the time.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: He works late a lot, but y'all ain't got no
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: more damn money. Though he worked later a lot, but
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: it ain't no more damn money. He's been hanging out
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: with his boys on the week end, more his boys.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: What ain't women that y'all said, you're in your forties.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: All my boys got women. They can't hang out all
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: the damn time. He's been hanging out with his boys.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: There were things that never stood out before because you
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: was in denial. He'd been doing this the whole time.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: He's been hanging out with his boys. Boys, he's been
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: he's been working late. He'd been keeping that phone strapped
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: to his thigh. He'd been doing this the whole time.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: You never noticed it to that lady call here. I
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: even drove past the woman's house one night and saw
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: his car there. And he could drive his car after that, Right, Yeah,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, what the police ain't getting involved at
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: this point? Ain't nobody had to call him? But yeah,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: I ain't. Nobody wanted to get busted out, right, But
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: I still haven't confronted him. The car was in the driveway.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: I'm saying he didn't want me sexually, teaching part he
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: didn't want me sexually, but he wanted to marry me
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: and share his life with me. No, he needed a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: home base. Hello, he needed a place to set up
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: his operations. Sister. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to break this too.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: He's a dog as dude. He needed one woman who
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: would let him freely hang out with his boys, say
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: he working late, walk around with his phone on him
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: and all his hell and and all of this here
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: and have all these women and believe that he had
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: a libido problem. He needed that so then he could
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: have a home base to set up his operation from.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: And you happen to be in you and you're probably
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: a really really great woman, a really really good woman.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: You've just been taking advantage of him. Please help me
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: make sense of this. There is no sense to this.

• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: As promised, we got a very very special guest on
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: the phone. This is all in line with what we've
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: been talking about and keeping with the National Census Day
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, our very special guest is here today. She
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: is the former Democratic leader in the Georgia House of Representatives,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen Democratic nominee for Governor of Georgia, and
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: the founder of Fair Fight Action and Fair Account. Well.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: Today she's joining us to tell us about Fair account
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: and how impact a community for this year's census. Please
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: welcome back to the shore everybody, the honorable Stacy Abrams. Yes, morning,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: Thank you. I hope everyone is staying safe and that
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: our thoughts and prayers remain with those on the front lines. Yeah. Yeah, Yeah,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: it's some challenging times, but we're looking for the upside. Absolutely. Well.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you that today's National Census Day,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: and it's a day where we can start to get
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: access to money and power for twenty twenty one and beyond.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Sat down again, we get access to money and power. Yes,
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: So census data is used to allocate one point five
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: trillion dollars every year for the next ten years. It's
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: used to allocate four hundred and thirty five congressional birth
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: and it's used to draw all the political lines from
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: school board to city council, the county commissioner, the state legislator,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: all the way up to Congress. So that's money and
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: that's our Yeah, and it's not hard to imagine why
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: people are scared of census because we only talk about
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: it once every ten years, and when we do, it's
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: with its urgency and it's often without good information. So
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, the census is confidential. The information you
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: turn in cannot be used for seventy two years. So
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: if you've got a warrant, if you owe somebody some money,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: any information you give that they can't use the census
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: to find you. I'm forty six. I cannot see a
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: census that I'm included in, and so there are four
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: of them I would have been included in. So far
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: I can't see a single one of those. Number two.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: If you have a utility bill or a cell phone,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: they can already find you. The census is about making
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: sure they count you and you get allocated the resources
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: that you deserve. Because what the census says is, here's
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: the community you live in, here's the race that you're
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: a part over, the ethnicity, here's your age group, and
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: here's your income bracket. And so when we're allocating money
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: for roads and bridges, or for snap or for hospital beds,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: they need to know who lives where and the composition
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: of the community. And if you see good communities or
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: communities with nice things getting nicer, and communities that are
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: struggling getting worse, it's because the communities that struggle tend
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: not to respond, and so every ten years they lose
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: not only the money that time, but that's on top
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: of the money they lost the last time. And the
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: communities that get better. It's the money they've already gotten
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: and then they get more money because the money doesn't disappear,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: it just gets reality. So with money and its political power,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: stay hang on one second. We're gonna come back. We
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: got a few more questions we're going to ask us
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: so we can get fully informed, so we can participate.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got to participate in twenty twenty six. Yeah, okay,
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: we'll be right back. You're listening to show, all right, everybody,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: We're back with Stacy Abans is our special guest this morning.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: She is she hasn't implemented the Fair Count initiative and
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: it provides resources to the community to find out what
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: this is. So it's a couple of things. I want
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about about the about the faith
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: based community partnerships, the initiative that you have, and then
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about the most underserved population in
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: the census program are black men. Let's talk about those
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: two things. Sure, So I launched fair Count at the
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: same time that I started Fair Fight. Fair Fight was
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: because I knew we had to pay attention to access
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: to voter protection, and fair Count is because I know
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: the census is the most effective and the most dangerous
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: tool that we don't pay attention to because the story
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: that it's told in twenty twenty is the story that
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: gets repeated between twenty twenty one all the way through
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: twenty thirty. And we know that one point seven million
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: Black people are likely to not be counted in twenty
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: that's more than three billion dollars per year loss to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: our communities, So thirty billion dollars taken from our communities.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: And Black men are the hardest community to count because
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: often they are the most distrustful of the census and
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: they are the least likely to be contacted. And so
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: fair count launched Black Men Count, and we've been working
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: across the country, specifically in the South, but everywhere trying
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: to make sure that black men know that if they
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: get counted in the census, the resources go directly to
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: their communities. But we also know that the safe community
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: is the best truth tellers that we have, and so
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: we started with an initiative where we have an app.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: So if you go to faircount dot org, we have
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: an app for pastors who are trying to communicate with
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: their flock. If you work with us to make sure
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: they sell out the census, we can work with you
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: to make sure they pay their tithes, but we are
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: also doing work to ensure that in communities that didn't
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: have access to the Internet, installed more than one hundred
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: and thirty five Wi Fi units across Georgia. Now with
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: sheltering place, that's not as useful, but we know shelter
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: in place will end, and we want to make sure
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: that those communities have access to the Internet because this
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: is the first time that eighty percent of the census
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: will be conducted online. Yes, to me, what Miss Abrams
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: is telling us, We've got to get super on top
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: of everything. We got to get this out on our
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: social media platforms. We got to make this important to
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: young people. You gotta make this important to your grandparents.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: This has to be important to everybody because it's never
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: been really explained to us this way. No one has
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: really explained it this thoroughly. Now, I mean, Michael Cook
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: did a great job, don't get me wrong, and so
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: listen everybody. Now, last question for you, Miss Abrams. The
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: census website that Michael Cook gave out to us twenty
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: twenty centis dot gov. Do you still find your information then? Yes,
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: So there are three ways to solve the sensors. So
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: if you if you go online, you may have gotten
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: a form in the mail already. Some folks aren't checking
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: their mail, but it's there. But if you don't have
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: the form they sent you go to my twenty twenty
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: census dot dov. You can also call one eight four
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: four three three zero twenty twenty and you can fill
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: it out by phone. And for rural communities, and we
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: have to know in the South, about a third in Georgia,
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: for example, a third of rural communities are black. So
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: we can't leave out rural communities. And a lot of
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: us come from families that still live in rural communities.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: They have delayed the hand delivery of their packets until
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: April fifteenth, and that might get pushed back even further.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: And so part of what I want people to remember
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: is we can't just think about it on census day.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: We've got to think about it through the end of
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the year, through the time they stop the census, because
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: if they don't, if we don't, they're gonna do what's
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: called imputation. Imputation is when they decide to guess, they
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: essentially impute what the race of the people are depending
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: on who the majority of the community are. So if
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: you're in an area that gets gentrified, or you're in
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: an area where you're in the minority, it is likely
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: that they will just guess that you were white. And
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: that's how white people get overcounted and black people and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: brown people get undercounted. All right, we're changing that this year.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: If if you don't have internet access, here's the phone
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: number eight four four zero, twenty twenty. We want to
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: ask you a couple of questions. Yeah, so stick around.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more Honorable Stacey from Abrams
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: right after this year. You're listening to show all right,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: we're back to everybody. We've got Honorable Stacey Abrams with
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: us today and we've been talking about the Sisters. Bill.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: I just want to get a couple of your thoughts here,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: come on, thought the political climate today in this country?
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: What we could do better during this time right here?
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: Do you have thoughts on that? Absolutely? I think unfortunately
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration has fumbled the response and that for
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: the last forty years, we have watched the Republican Party
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: in particular demigrate and speak ill of government officials, speak
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: ill of the roles of bureaucracies play in our lives.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: But what's happening right now is that we need our
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: bureaucracies to work. And when you sequester their funding, when
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: you cut them, when you slash their spending, and when
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: you slash their staffing, it becomes harder, especially when you're
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: cutting public health investments. And that's part of what we're
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: seeing happening here. And so one thing I encourage everyone
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: to do is to make sure you're asking not only
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: your federal leaders, but you're state leaders to pledge to
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: invest in public health. Because COVID nineteen is just the
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: first round. We're going to face new and different diseases
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: in the future, and we don't know what's going to happen,
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: which is why we've got to be prepared for anything.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: The other thing I would say is that we have
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: to be prepared for our elections. If we want different leadership,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: I personally am a Democrat. If we want different leadership,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: we have to have safe, insure elections, and that's why
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: we need the next stimulus package to include the full
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: funding a vote by mail and safe in person voting,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: so that every eligible voter in America gets to be
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: heard in November, so we get the leadership we deserve
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: in January. We'll be right back with more honorable Stacy
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: Abrams right after this year. You're listening, all right, everybody,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: We're back with Stacy Abrams is our special guest this morning.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: Just one last question, listen. Would there be any possibility
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: that you would be open to accepting the offer as
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: a running mate in the presidential campaign this year? If
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden said, miss Abrams, would you join me in
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: this fight? How would you feel about that? I would
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: be honored and I would say that here, let me
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: say this. I've been getting this question since last year
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: and during a primary at the beginning, when I was
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: figuring out what I needed to do. My answer was
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: you don't run for second place and a primary. But
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: I also said, if people listen to the whole clip
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: was I would be honored to serve as a running mate.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I get a little bit of flak because people think
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: that I'm being too ambitious and obnoxious by answering this
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: question this way, But as a black woman, as a
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 1: woman of color, and as a woman, I believe that
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: it's my responsibility to live my patriotism and my patriotism
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: says that you don't pretend you don't want to serve.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: There's nothing noble about being falsely humbul What's noble is
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: being willing to do the work to serve the people.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: And that's what I'm committed to, and that's what i
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: would love to do and I'd be honored to do
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: that with the nominee for the Democratic Party. Yes, yes, yeah,
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: you ran an amazing race here in Georgia, and you
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 1: were everything the public really wanted. Man, it was just
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: amazing the race. You ran, your your your platforms, the
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: way you articulated it, the way you the way you
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: presented yourselves in terms of a plan. I think that's
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: very much needed. Congratulations. We'll just see what happens. We
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen, but a long as
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: it's Joe Biden, I'm cool because and just as a
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: Democrat my whole life, I just wish that Democrats fought
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: like the Republicans fight because they fight dirty. Man. Well,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think we have to fight dirty, but we
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: do have to fight smart. We know how to win
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: elections when Democrats do the right thing, when we organize,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: when we fight back againsider suppression. When we invest in
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: every community and we don't cherry picks the people we're
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: going to talk to. When we recognize that black voters
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: are more than just an add on. When we invest
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: in our communities early, when we treat them with respect,
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: we win. That's how we won in two thousand and
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: eight and in two thousand and twelve. It's how we
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: won run over again in twenty eighteen. My campaign. You know,
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: even though we didn't get the prize, we turned out
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: more voters than any Democrat in the history of Georgia.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: And so if we run smart campaigns, we don't have
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: to fight dirty. We can be the good people and
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: we can win our elections. But we've got to be
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: willing to fight hard and fight smart. Thank you so
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: much for taking that road. I'm gonna go hey, thank
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: you for Hey, everybody, Stacy Abrams, everybody, thank yeah. Coming up,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: it's our last break of the day, and we'll have
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: at forty nine minutes after right after this. You're listening
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: all right here we are, last break of the day.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: Time for Steve's closing remarks. Okay, um, today, Tommy sent me,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: so send me a caption that I'm gonna keep because
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: I oftentimes keep quotes in my motivational folder in my
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: photo stream, and I just look at him from time
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: to time when I'm feeling a certain kind of way.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes i just need a little uplift myself, you know.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: And Tommy sent me this today, then I'm gonna share
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: it with you, and it's gonna call me cause me
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: to expound on it a bit because it's something I
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: really do believe in. It says, do not ask God
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: your feet. Do not ask God to guide your footsteps
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: if you're not willing to move your feet. You know, folks,
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: it's very simple. God can put his finger on something
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: to bless if you give him something to put his
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: finger on. But you can't. You can't ask God to
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: do something. And you're making no effort. Lord help me
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: get a job, but you ain't putting in no applications,
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: Lord help me do right. But all you ever want
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: to do is wrong. You're you're just committed to wrong.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: You know, you gotta make a move in the right direction.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: You know, faith without works is dead. So what timey
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: sent me? Do not ask God to guide your footsteps
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: if you're not willing to move your feet. It's something
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: all of us, and all of us are guilty of it.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: From time to time. Sometimes we get complacent. Sometimes we
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: just get the feeling side by ourselves. You know, man,
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: I guess it ain't meant to be. Oh Lord, what now?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: You know? Look, man, you can complain your way through
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: life if you want to, but you really have to
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: make an attitude adjustment. You gotta get two things moving,
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: your attitude and your feet. Those two things have to
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: get moving. You gotta start taking steps. You may not
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: know the way how to get to the finish line,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: but the finish line is somewhere. It ain't where you at.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: The finish line is never where you're standing. So you
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: gotta start taking some steps. And once again, you may
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: not know all the steps necessary to get to the tape,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: but you gotta start the process. Man. So, like the
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: caption says, stop asking God to guide your footsteps. If
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: you ain't willing to move your feet, you got to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: put it into motion. Look, it's just a dream when
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: you're thinking about it, but you gotta put some you
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: gotta put your dreams to work. Motivation is when your
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: dreams put on work clothes. You gotta take your dreams
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: and put work clothes on the man. You gotta start
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: stepping in the right direction. You've got to make a
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: move towards the light. You've got to step towards the
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: finish line. You've got to start to get the way
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: you're trying to get to. You gotta get to go.
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: You gotta go to get period. You cannot stay that
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: wherever you're trying to get. You can't be right where
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: you at. It can't be. It can't be. I give
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: you this is this is a silly example. But let's
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: say your family reunion is in Wyoming, which I know
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: it's not. That's why I said, And you drive to Wyoming.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: When you get to Wyoming, and you reach Wyoming, the
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: state of Wyoming, you still got to do something because
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: what where is the family reunion at? It just can't
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: go to Wyoming. Well, I'm here, Lord, you here, you
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: wom you Even when you get the way you say
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: you're going, you got to move around. Let's say you
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: get to the park where you're holding the family reunion
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: and you get to the park. Once you get to
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: the park, what what you gotta do something? You're gonna
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: play softball, volleyball, You're gonna sit there on the tree,
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: play domino, You're gonna bob kill, You're gonna make lemonade.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: You constantly gotta be doing something. There is no when
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: you get there, you there. There is no more movement required.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: There's a movement required throughout your life, because whenever you're
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: trying to get to it ain't where you at. I
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: can promise you that it's never where you at. I'm
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: doing very well in my life. It ain't where I'm going.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: How would I be just I'm here now? This it this,
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: it what? No more dreams, Steve, no more visions. You
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: want nothing else? You hear this? It for you And
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter MEI that people look at me and go, man,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta all this. I don't even see what you're
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: tripping for. I ain't tripping. I just want to be
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: more than I am. I'm really trying to be a
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: better person. I really really am. I'm not content with
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: the person I am. I could improve. I could actually
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: be better person. So I'm in the process. God ain't
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: through with me. Yet he's working on me. I'm trying.
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: I'm better than I used to be, but I'm still
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: got my feet moving. So I'm asking God to guide
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: my steps. But I got my feet moving. Man, Stop
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: asking God to guide your footsteps. If you ain't willing
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: to move your feet, can't happen. It's what you want.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 1: Come on, man, stop that. Dude, you're being unreasonable to God.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: Guiding your footstep and moving your feet down the path.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: That's too different that you got to do that. You
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: make one step, he'll make two. So if you don't
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: make the one, you cannot expect him to make the two.
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: He can touch you and bless you, but you gotta
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: give him something to bless. You gotta do something. Case
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: of the house watching TV. That's it. Stop asking God
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: your feet. Thank you, Tommy. That was my closing drop
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: it Okay, Now that actually sounded like a mike. That
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: was encouraging. Yeah, a good way to start the day.
