• 2:07
  Speaker 1: One and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Oh man,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey got a radio show because God. Because God
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is simply amazing. Because God is off the chain, because
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: God is over the top, because God is all that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in a bag of chips. God is amazing. Man. God
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: will take you places that you never ever thought you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: would go. Oh you know what? It Sometimes it amazes
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: me when I'm watching all people talk about themselves and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: their careers and where they're adding life and things and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: they and I hear people say, you know, always dreamed
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of being him. You know, I can understand when a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: person says that I've always dreamed of something like this
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: would happen to me. But I want you to think
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: about that for a second. Did you really see it
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just like that though? Did you really really see it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: just like that? Did you really know that God was
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gonna bring you through all he bought you through to
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: get you to this place? Did you know that, in
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: spite of the losses along the way that would crumble
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the average person, that somehow He kept you through it
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: all and that's how you got here? Did you think
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of you know? I mean, you know, you know. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: since you're so busy talking about yourself now, have you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: forgotten all the times He was bringing you through when
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you didn't see no way that you was gonna get through?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that? So when you sit there and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you say, I dreamed of this, this is what I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: always saw happening, I don't really think. So, I don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: really think. If you take inventory, or real close inventory
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of your life and you look back on it all,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: stop looking at the moment right now, remember where you
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: come from. See, that's what gets me emotional sometimes, that's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: what makes me tear up, because when something is happening
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to me in the moment, it ain't the moment for me,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: it's the memory of how I got there. It's the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: recollection of all the things, all the nights, all the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: days in that car, all the times by myself when
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I felt like I wasn't gonna make it. But somehow
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I'm standing somewhere and somebody passing out an the ward
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to me or somebody calling my name, that's that. Did
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you really think you was gonna make it? Then? So
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: so so, since you're talking about this is what I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: always dreamed of? Did you really think in those moments
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: right there that you would even be standing here today?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: That's why I try. I try to give people understand
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and and this is kind of
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: for young people today what I'm about to say. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: then guess what I sometimes I have to remind myself
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: of it. So I guess it's still kind of for everybody,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know, because I work with a lot of young people,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and so many times, man, young people just don't understand
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: what all it takes. And I know, and if you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a full grown a dot, if you're forty, you you
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: really understanding where I'm coming from, because you know, it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: listen to me, young people or anybody that don't understand this,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that you got to do some things that you don't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: want to do. In order to do what you want
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to do, you have to understand this principle of success
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: or else you are not going to become successful. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: got what you want to do. I got your ultimate goal?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Is this, that, and the other? I got all of that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, though, there are some necessary steps
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that you have to take in order to become successful,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and you cannot skip these steps. You can't jump over
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: these steps just because you want to be rich, Friday,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I got that. I got that. Everybody got that. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: if you want this, whatever you're talking about, whether it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: money or success or fame or climbing the corporate letter
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: or this is the position or you all, that's fine,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and Danny, please hold on to your dreams. Dreams come true.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: But in the meantime, let me remind you of something
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that you gotta do some things you don't want to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: do in order to do what you want to do.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Let's say you want to be rich and famous. Let's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: just say that's it for you. Let's sit It's a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: lot of other ways of being successful. Please don't think
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: that's the only one. But I'm just saying, let's just
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: say yours is rich and famous, And let's say some
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: miraculous way God made you rich and famous. Next Friday,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you rich and you famous? Next Friday? Can I share
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: something with you? This is not going to last for you.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You know why because you have not done the things
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: next Sinceary, you have not done the things that you
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: have to do in order to do the things you want.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: So now you're rich and famous. How you gonna know
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: how to budget money? How are you gonna know how
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to get up and keep clawing towards the top when
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you fall off your pedestal? See, it's so many things
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you got to know about something, and you think because
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: it's what you want right now, it's supposed to happen
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just now. It's a process when you ask God for something.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Please know God know the process. He knows the necessary
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: steps to take you through. Don't lose your patience with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: God because your dreams ain't coming true right now? Man?
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You know you know I think the best way y'all
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: is for me. I just use myself as an example.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I really do understand why God has given me the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: life he's giving me so far. I understand it being
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: homeless part. Now I get the not being successful when
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I want it too. Now I get it. I got
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the delayed entry into the field of choice for myself.

  Speaker 1: I got it now. I've been wanting to be on
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: TV and a little comedian since I was nine years old.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: But guess what, I didn't get there until I was
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: twenty eight. But see I didn't get it. Then I

  Speaker 1: on her husband, because he seeks me out, not the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: other way around. I've had to get a restraining order

  Speaker 1: on her, and I had to put cameras on the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: front of my house because I'm sure she was the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: one that tried to slash my tires once. I've asked
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: her nicely not to bother me. Would I be wrong
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to beat her ass one good time? I'm surprised she
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: ain't beach a s s one good time? PLU in

  Speaker 1: the wrong? You're sleeping with this woman's husband. You're talking

• 18:48
  Speaker 1: got to look too hard, right, You're right, you're responding.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? He seeks me out? Or well,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: you know you could put a stop to that, right,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: he seeks you because you're wanting to be sought after,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: not a woman, know about y'all. She might be trying
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: to fight for her husband, and yeah she was one.

• 19:34
  Speaker 1: her husband alone? Nicely? How you ask me nicely? Right?
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: All right? This is from Johnson and Omaha. Johnson says,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: my kids and I moved to a different city after
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I divorced their mom. I got full custody and unmoved
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: so I would uh that I would have my family
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: support raising them. My toxic ex wife has decided to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: move closer to to us, and I don't think she's
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: fit enough to have visitation with our children. I don't
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: want to say what's wrong with her, but she has
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: some bad habits and our children are all under ten
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: years old. I can't stop her from moving closer, but
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I can, But can I stop her from seeing them
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: at all? Will this impact my kids later? I don't
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: know them because I'm not aware of the problem, but
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I do know that in a divorce, they rarely take
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: a child away from a mother unless she's unfit. They
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: don't normally do that. Women got DIBs on them kids, man,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and so I don't know what she did that caused
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the court to allow you to have full custody of them.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But if they did that, you can get some You

• 30:39
  Speaker 1: His name is This is the Fire. It's after James Baldwin,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the Fire next time. And so now we are in
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: the fire, after the Capital Insurrection, after George Floyd. This
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is the Fire right now, you know, man, that's what
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about this because you opened the book
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: with the heartfelt letter to your young nephew what's his name, Trusha, Trisha, Yeah, Trisha,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and you're trying to help him make sense of all
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the racial unrest in twenty twenty, tell us about that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Don Well, you know, James Bowan opened his book The
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Fire Next Time with a letter to his nephew, and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: it was one hundred years after the Emancipation Proclamation and
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: he said, you know, we're celebrating this one hundred years
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: too soon. And so this is I started writing the book. Well,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: let me back up just for a second. You know,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: during the Trump administration, if you're in the news and
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the President talks about your tweets about you, everybody wanted
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you to write the book. If you're reporting on the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Trump administration, right between sixteen and twenty, everybody and their
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: mama was asking me to write a book. And I said, no,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: I don't want to write a political book. I don't
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: want to be connected to this administration. And then Steve
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: George Floyd happened and I was at home in quarantine.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I couldn't go to my family, I couldn't talk to them. Yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: and I started by saying to my nephew that I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: was worried. I said, Trishade, I saw a man die
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: to day and he called out to his mama and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: cried for his mama and nephew, he's fourteen. He's thirteen then,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: and you know, and I was worried about the world
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that he was about to inherit, that those those young
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: people are going to inherit this world that we have
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: set up and created for them. And this was my
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: way of showing love to him. And I said, if
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: James Balwin could write a letter to his nephew and
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: start off a book, that's how I want to start
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: off my book to It's actually my great nephew. And
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I helped to raise his mom and you know his
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: aunts and which are my nieces, and they're growing women
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: now they're doing great in the world. But he needed
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: to know that I love him and that there were
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: people like me. Even though we may not have done
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a perfect with Seve, I think you'll admit that we tried.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: And I was trying to tell him he hits my
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: support and whatever he needed to carry on this world
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a better way. And that's what I was. That's why
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: I did it. You know that that's an interesting take
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: down because I think that so many people don't understand
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: that as African Americans, the burden that were battle with
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: in terms of helping to raise our younger generation, our
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: children our nephews, our young people. I don't think they
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: understand what all comes with that, because, like you said,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you were home doing COVID when George Floyd died. You
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: you have you, you all, you donate a chapter to this.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: What were your thoughts man, when you watch this on
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: film because you had to cover it? Oh my godness,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean over and over and over. What
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you when you watch the video?
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: What was Don Lemon thinking? It was Steve? It was
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the weirdest out of body experience that I can't It
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: was like it was like me, watch me reporting, but
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: watching me watch somebody else reporting. And let me tell
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you why I say that. First of all, it enraged me.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It was as a person of color, It just it
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: just honestly pissed me off. You guys can beat me
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and do whatever you want, but honestly, I was so
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: angry at the administration. First of all, they were gassed
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: and people would you remember they did that in front
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: of the White House. And then they were pretending that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: it was somehow the people who were oppressed, that it
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: was George Floyd's fault, of the protester's fault. About what
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: was happening in the country. They were turning the tables.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And then there was one night where I happened not
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: to go into the city into the CNN because I
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: like to go, especially when we have big stories like this.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: I like to go in where the company has a
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: setup where you know the line's not going to go down,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the camera's not going to go down, the audiences are
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: not going to go out. And so but this one night,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: all hell broke loose and my boss said, get on
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the air, and I got on. I was at home
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: speed reporting on fires on the West Coast, in Chicago,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in New York, in LA in Washington, DC, and I'm
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: crying out. I'm like I felt like I was and
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I felt like I was the only person left on earth,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying to explain to every whoever's left, whoever's watching,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: look at what's happening. And basically I was saying, help, help,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and I said some dumb thing that I regret that
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: I said because I was, and I was. I was
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: crying out for people that I know, who I know
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: had influenced to help because I felt like I was
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a man on an island all by myself, and I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: was saying, look at what's happening to America, y'all, please please,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: please do something. So I felt like I was the
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: only one doing it. Um And because I was the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: only one on the air at the time. You know,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: that's interesting, man, because I often wondered how you felt,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: because I understood where you were coming from when you
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: were calling people out, because man, you just wanted those
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: of us who had a voice to raise up and
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: use it. Because what you had been watching happening was
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: like it was almost the rebirth of the civil rights movement.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: What happened the Red Matter? Oh it's crazy. Hey, hang
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: on right there, gonna writ there, We're gonna come back.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: We got more with Don Lemon right after this. We
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: got a lot to talk about with Don right after this.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You're listening, all right, everybody, We're back. We're back with
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon from CNN. He's got a new book out
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: called This is the Fire and Uh. It's a compelling book.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Uh and and and it's all about relationships, race relations
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: in this country and some of his takes on it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: And when we left, we were talking about the George
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Floyd incident. And you've dedicated a chapter in this book
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: when you what what did you want this chapter to
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: speak to to your audience who read? Who reads the book?
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I wanted it to speak to just how dire the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: situation is when it comes to what when when when
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: people speak about black lives mattering? We know what Black
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: lives matter means, and we know what the people who
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: try to denegrate and downgrade black lives matter. We know
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: what they mean, and we know that they don't care
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: about our about our lives, and quite frankly, the entire book, look,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: let's see, this book is so honest. I don't know
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to get in trouble about it, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I'm honest with what we all need to do, and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: especially white people need to do. If we want to
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: fix this problem, you got to do the work. You
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: can't say when something like George Floyd happens. The reason
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: that was one of the reasons I wrote the books.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: So many people calling me things, what do I do?
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like I left by black friends down. I
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: didn't know that this happened, right, And I'm sure you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: had some of that too with people you know who
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: are of a different ethnicity. And so that's why I
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: wrote the book. But then when you tell them what
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: they need to do, they say, well that's hard. I
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, but it's practical. That means what they don't
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: want to do the work. So you have to do
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: the work. And guess what, You got to know a
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: black person. You gotta know a Hispanic person. You got
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: to know a person of color. You have a type
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: of relationship with someone if you're if you truly want
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: to make the saint, you can't just call your one
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: black friend or someone you're one black coworker when something
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: like this goes down and expect like, oh okay, and
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: then donate some money. That's not what it's about, right,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm dedicated. You gotta be real. Let's be real.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: We got to know each other and talk to each
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: other and have relationships with each other. See, that's the
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: perfect way to put it down, because you cannot sit
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: around each other as non African Americans and talk about
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: a problem when you don't know all the idio secrecies
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: of the problem. It's the same thing that we keep
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: running into over and over. We have the wrong people
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: trying to define the word racism, and they think if
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: they just don't use the end word that they're not
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: a racist. They don't even know the understuff. I was
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: watching a woman interview Tony Morrison online the other day
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and she asked, Tony Morrison, you write so eloquently, will
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you ever write stories about whites? And she says, I do,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: but you don't know how inherently racist that statement is
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you just made. And the white lady was sitting there
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: just bit funnel because she didn't get it. But why
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: does Tony moore us and have to write story about
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: white people? You don't ask a Spielberg or I mean,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: you don't ask Spelling or nobody when they're gonna write
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: some story about some black people. You just take their stories. Hey,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: don hang on again, man, we got don lemon I
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: got some topics when we come back. I want to
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: get his opinion on what's happening on the Talk. When
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: we come back, what's going on on the Talk. We'll
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: be right back. You're listening to everybody. We're back, and
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: we're keeping him over because we get to talk with
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a guy who, first of all, all of us on
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: the show, Shirley Carler, Tommy Junior, Monica, we're all fans.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: You don I mean, bro, we we talk often about
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: what the hell did Don say? Yeah? Becausis man, we were, well,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: all right, what did Don say? Damn? We're everybody else
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: say because Don got that attitude we need because you know, Don,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: The thing about you, man, is you're very authentic. And
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the thing that makes you a great reporter is like
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: it or not, You're gonna say what you feel, and
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: if it makes you uncomfortable, it's okay. But the thing
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: about it is you don't lie. So right, well, here
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: as I as I read if you read The Fire
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: next time by James Bowing, he talks about people going
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: to their grave, you know, judging people keeping the status
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: quo in order not really doing what they want to do.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to go to my grave and not
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: get everything out that I need to get out. And look,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: you know, Steve, when you're first starting out and you
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: first get a position, you gotta be careful like, okay,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: I gotta do this, and I don't know, I don't
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: want to think anybody else. And then once you get
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: there and you established that you can do it and
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: you're successful, then that's my mom that you can show
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: your ad. So not my hand, but what I'm doing
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: I'm comfortable enough, and I know that I have a platform,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and I'm in a position where I can speak with authority.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: You understand what I'm saying, and I and I represent
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: my people. And as you said so eloquently, that people
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: are speaking about race and racism and they had no
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: idea what it is. People are becoming more offended about
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: the possibility of someone thinking they may have a racial
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: blind spot of their racist or their bias than the
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: actual act itself. And what does that say? That says
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: you're entitled, That says that you have a privileged where
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: you can think, I don't want anybody to call me racist,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: and therefore that I don't want anybody to call me
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: racist supersede the actual racism, and then you make it
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: all about you and you're grieving. So that so we're
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: talking about the talk right now, Yes, because we talk
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to each other via text about this of how we
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: really felt. Now the radio version and the CNN version
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: of how we really feel is we're going to share
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: that with you now. When you saw what transpired on
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the talk, what were your initial thoughts? My initial thoughts was, Wow,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: there's going to be repercussions and ramifications for this that
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: beyond what people are thinking right now, and nobody knew.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: And if you've ever worked in the world of television,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: where you are when you get to share your opinion,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: there's a difference between sharing your opinion and insulting someone
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: you work with and calling someone really outside of their
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: name without even saying it. So here's what I thought.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: The nerve to tell someone when to cry and when
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: to not. Yes, that's entitlement. That's privilege. You don't get
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to do that. The nerve for you to make it
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: all about you. It's not about you, it's the actual
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: act of racism. That's entitlement. That's privilege. The nerve of
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you to sit there next to a black woman who's
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: talking to you about racism and discrimination and you try
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: to define the moments for her and what it means
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: to her. The nerve and then for you to say,
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I am not racist. How the hell can I be racist?
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: And they beat that because I'm an effing whatever, you
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: know what she said. The nerve of you to sit
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: there in your entitlement, in your privilege, and be more
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable and more aggrieved about someone actually thinking you're having
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: a racial blind spot and you are sitting there on
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: national television and proving the point that you do come
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: so much more eloquent and is really imagine if that
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: was Sheryl Steve, I'm sorry, I don't mean, I know
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: it's your show. Can you imagine if that was Cheryl?
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Sure would not have laughted through the commercial break if
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: she did that as the black woman on Bro. You
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: you ain't never lied. Listen, hang on, Don, We got
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Don Lemon. This has a big great He's got a
• 44:15

  Speaker 1: has taken chances, he has made statement, he has been angry.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: When it is time to be angry, but most importantly
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: he has been authentic and truthful. That's all this book is.

• 45:29
  Speaker 1: gonna spend money. This this is how we do each other. Now. See,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna treat you like an artist that come in
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: with a new song on my show. We'd have made
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: some hits on this show. Don oh, we got nine
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: million listeners. I'm talking to all of them, and a
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: lot of avid readers too. So that's it. Hey, we
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: were talking before a lot of stuff than what the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: gods is under this much stare. Look, I'm telling you,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: I'm keeping family feud on the air. My TV stays
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: on the fans. I'm like, oh, that was season that. No,
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: that's a couple of seasons ago. That suit. Now this
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: is a modern season right here. Yeah, I've seen this
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: family before. Yeah, anyway, all right, Yeah, you're watching the
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: evolution of Steve Harvey's wardrobe. I looked back at the
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: first season. I go, sus was pretty big. Hey, listen,
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: we were talking about the Sheryl Underwood incident on on
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: the Talk. The thing that Uh and we both talked
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: about this dog was how Sheryl handle it was was
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: sheer grace and like you said in your text to me,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: she handled it like a queen. I was really disturbed
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: because I don't like it when people become a victim.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: I'm the one that should be crying. Why why why
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: should you be crying? First of all, this ain't about you,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: just about podcasts, Pierce Mellisson. Now we'd have said this now,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I said this over and over, this about piss market.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: This ain't about nobody else. This is what he said.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: And you know what amazes me about this whole situation,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: don If Megan Markle was not black, we're not even
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: having this discussion at all about the baby or nothing.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: The only reason we're having this discussion is because this
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: woman is black. This is it, now, How to have
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: that ain't racist? It's the only factor involved him. Well,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: and it's also because you're doubting somebody else's story, Steve,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: That's what it's about doubting someone else's story. Now, I
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: always I hate to make this comparison, but it's a real,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: true comparison of that. Think it's fair anytime if someone
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: says that someone felt uncomfortable in the workplace because I
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: was a woman, that this man the first What are
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: people's reactions. It's always, oh my gosh, we should listen
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: to this, let's figure out understand how these individuals feel.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. But for some reason, when
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it's racism, there's always a different reaction and a doubt. Well,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I can't believe that that would happen, and of course
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: this person can't be that, and I can't be that
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: way because I've lived on this earth this many years
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: and I've never no one has ever called me that. Well,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: maybe you've never had to deal with it. That's what
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: privilege is. If you have never had to deal with something, right,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: then it does not exist for you. That is why
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: that's why the term privilege came about, because you have
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the privilege of not having to think about it or
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: worry about it because it doesn't exist for you. It
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't happen to you. So I think that we should
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: the way that we I always say when we have
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: these allegations of impropriety in the workplace that we should
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: take everyone seriously and it should be investigated. The same
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: thing for issues of race. So as much as women
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: have had their meed to moments, it's time for black
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: folks to have our us two moments, because discrimination in
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the workplace can be just as detrimental as harassment in
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the workplace, especially if you have something that that hands
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: out in the workplace, maybe you and the boss get along.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not going to try to govern
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: human behaviors, but racism never works out for any of
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: the victims. Ever. You don't get a job because your
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: boss is racist. You don't get a promotion because your
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: boss is racist. What it causes you is to It
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: causes paranoia, causes you to doubt yourself. It causes you
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: to have make less money to provide for your family,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: less to move around to different jobs instead of staying
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: at the same job because you're trying to promote. There
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: are so many things that aspects about discrimination that black
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: people and marginalize people and people of color feel that
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: happens to them in the workplace. That have not been explored.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: So I say it's time now for a hashtag us
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: to moment for black people when it comes to workplace discrimination.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: And I think that's sure. Underwood is helping to us
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: show that in and let's pray and stand behind her,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: and I hope that she does. Wow, that TV show
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: that he's good. She thought God had her on a
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: bigger mission, So this could be it. You know, yeah,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: I think you know the name of the book. Everybody
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: is this is the fire. I mean, we are in
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: it right now. We are in the fire. And this
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: is a great time for us because since the civil
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: rights movement, I haven't seen anything like I've seen over
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: the past year and a half. I just haven't seen
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: it in my life. I'm sixty photo suppression, Oh, insurrection
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: on the Capitol? Who's trying to overturn an election? Why
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: is it that the Republican Senate who know that this
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: man has lied about this election being stolen? What do
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: you think is the reason why they won't just call
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: it the way it is? Are they that afraid of him?
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: What is it? Oh? Okay? So I wish I had
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: the direct quote, but the quote that James Bolland says
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: is that it doesn't It doesn't require that anyone has
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: to be evil. What it requires is that you have
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: to be spineless. And they are spineless, is what it is.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: They're afraid to stand up to him number one, because
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: they're afraid of him, but not so much as they're
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: afraid of him as they're afraid of losing power. People
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: are intoxicated with power, and what else are they going
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: to do. What they're doing is exploiting the division in
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: this country among the racists and politically, and they know
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: that they're doing it. And so Trump it was just
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the one that came along and allow them to be
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: able to do this, so now they can do it
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: with impunity. So he is as I say in the book,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: and see if I say it, it burns my tongue
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: to say this, but Donald Trump was probably the president
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: we deserved. I know who's the president we deserve because
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you know we didn't, we weren't paying attention, but probably
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the one we needed. And I hate to say that,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: but he exposed the racist in our society and the
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: racism because we were living in this and this mindset

• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Growberry Letter all right. Subject the Bartender's Big Tip. Dear
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Stephen Shirley. I've been married for twelve years, and my
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: husband and I are in our mid thirties and our
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: regulars at a local bar by our house. We've met
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: most We've met a lot of great people at this
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: bar and look forward to seeing them weekly for karaoke night.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: I like the sense of community we have there, and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: we can hang out with the other couples we've befriended.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Everything was fine until recently when I found out that
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: my husband has been sleeping with the twenty two year
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: old bartender that always serves us. I was devastated and
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it because when we would go there,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: she's always serving us with a smile, and she's such
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: a sweet girl. I never thought about the large tip
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: my husband left for her weekly. We believe in giving
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: money for great service, and she was giving him really,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: really good service behind my back. The thought of her
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: having my husband's tiny little private part to herself has
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: hurt me to no end. She told me that my
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: husband has given her money for college, helped her with
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: bills at times, and keeps her hair and nails done.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: She told me that she's been to my house, which
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: is conveniently around the corner from the bar. We dealt
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: with it in house, and argued and cried. He stopped.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: He begged me for forgiveness, and he promised that he
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: was going to stop seeing her. The problem is he's
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: still going to the bar once a week for karaoke night,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: and even though he sits in another section now, she
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: still works there. I miss having fun with our regular crew,
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: and I want to go back at some point, but
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not there mentally. I'm still monitoring his phone and
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: his whereabouts. And he said it's getting old and I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: need to trust him. How do I ever trust him again?
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know on this one. First of all, I
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: gotta say I'm really sorry. That's happened to you. It
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: is nothing worse than someone laughing and cheese and all
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: up in your face and everything while they're sleeping with
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: your husband behind your back. And because of that, that's
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: why the trust is darned near and possible to get
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: back if at all. I mean, I don't think I could,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: because of who it is and how it was done,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: and the fact that he's had her all in your house,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: probably in your bed, and all of that. Come on
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: now and excuse me. Did your husband have the nerve
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: to tell you to stop going through his phone and
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: checking his whereabouts? Did he have the nerve to say
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that was getting old and that you need to trust him? Really, dude,
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you came, and I just don't
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: know how you can. He's right back at the scene
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: of the crime, and the girl still works there. This
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: is compounding the situation, the trouble that he's in. He's
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: back there already. How can you trust that? I mean,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: that's how it happened in the first place. So who
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: cares that he's in a different section. What does that
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: even matter? Why is that even in this letter, I
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him period.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: He's done nothing to try and win back your trust. Okay,
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: so you guys cried and argued and all of that.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: Come on, he doesn't even have sense enough just to start.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: Stop going back to the bar. You know he could
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: have started there. This is crazy. I don't know if
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: you'll ever trust him again. I know you want to
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: and you want to go back there, but how can
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: you ever trust him with all of this going on? Steve?
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: You know, fellas, I know y'all think, man that I
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: side up with women a lot of time times, but
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: I just come from the true standpoint of it. I
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: just don't like it when men do stuff that's stupid,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: and then the rest of us have to baar the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: brunt because of your mistake. A lot of us get
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: distrusted because you stupid. You know, a lot of us
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: can't get past we deal with women with baggage because
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: you gave them the baggage. And now here we go again.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just this thirty, this couple been married for twelve years.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Y'all in your mid thirties. Your regulars at a local
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: bar by our house. It meant a lot of great
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: people go there. You saying, carryoker, You meet people, hang
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: out with other couples. Everything was fine, and too recently
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: you found out that your husband had been sleeping with
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: a twenty two year old bar tender that always serves y'all.
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: This lady said. I was devastated. I couldn't believe it
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: because when we would go there, she's always serving us
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: with a smile, and she's such a sweet girl. Well,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: it's very sweet, sweet as hell, sweet hay, So you
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: never thought about the large tip your husband left for
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: her weekly. We believe in giving money for great service,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: and she was giving him really, really good service behind
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: your back. The thought of her having my husband's tiny
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: little private part to herself has hurt me to no end.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: And you decided to get him back by telling everybody
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: he got a very tiny little private part him. So, well,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: you just hurt him back. I guess he had that
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: coming though. She told me, Now this is why I
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: don't know hunting here. We doesn't help. She told me
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: my husband has given her money for college, helped her
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: with bills, keeps her hair and nails done. She told
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: me that she hadn't been to my house, which is
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: around the corner from the bar. Now we dealt with
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: it in the house and aging and cried. Now who cried?
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Was he cried? Because this sound like shan going right now,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: turn yourself. Why is his ass crying? It's terrible. I'm
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: don't I'm confused. How did she tell you all this?

  Speaker 1: little private part to herself. Has hurt me to no end,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: which gets us back to all he had to do.

  Speaker 1: after the hour, We're gonna talk to Junior about you know,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: this story about the Norman High School girls basketball teams.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back at forty six minutes after
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: the hour. Right after this you're listening to. All right, guys,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: it is time for Junior in sports taught Junior what
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: you got for us today? Please surely, okay, we have
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: to deal with this story. I'm really proud of these
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: girls do. But several players from the Norman High School
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: girls basketball team have broken their silence about the racist
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: game announcer Mark Rowand, who called them the F bomb
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and the INN word for their decision to take a
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: knee during the national anthem. Take a listen to the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: young woman speaking out. I took annie the standing against
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: social injustice and racism, and when I first heard the
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: news that our team was called the N word, I
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: was just in disbelief. And the broadcaster should be held
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: accountable so something like this doesn't happen in the future.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so proud of all of us were standing
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: up for something so big. It's bigger than all of us.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: It's bigger than a basketball game to us. And that's
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: why we decided to knael, because racism is so much
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: bigger than everything. We wanted to have a part in
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: making a change. High school girls, well you know some
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I do support them, young sisters. Here's what Americans don't understand.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: Whose forefathers stole this country, this national anthem. It's not
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: more important to us than to fight against racism. Yeah,
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: and to draw attention to it. We've chosen to kneel
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: during the playing of the national anthem to draw attention
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: to it. That's all it is. We don't boo when
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: it's playing, We don't try to sing over it. You
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: can do that. But in protests that this flag does
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: not represent all of us, sometimes they choose to kneel. Yeah,
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: can we get your attention on that, But oh no,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: you don't want to address that. Now this food then
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: call them an in word. And now he didn't blame
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: that on his diabetes. He had a spike. Yeah that's disgusting. Yeah,

  Speaker 1: and I was furious. I told my mother she is
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: not allowed to have men in my home anymore. She said,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: I can't tell her what to do. Well, how do

  Speaker 1: Everybody from the top of CBS to the bottom. No,
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: she handled it with nothing but grace and a queenly
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: stately manner. Is to find out the backlash they're getting
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: from Sharon Osborne and how they're gonna handle that. Yeah,

• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: news story about me. Then the correction be on the
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: end of classified. Yeah yeah, no. Hey. That leads me
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: to my closing remarks today because yeah, I wanted to
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: share something spiritual, what you are, or something that really
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: really helped me out. Oh. I was listening to Joel Olstein.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: It's really old. But you know, since I can't go
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: to church, I go online and listen to sermons and
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: messages and stuff like that. That's just mine to keep
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: my spiritual side just fed. I'm not saying I do
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: it every day, because I don't, but it just so happened.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: The other day, I was watching a film from Joel Oldstein,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: and what I do is when I go to YouTube,
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: I kind of look for the subjects that I think
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: might apply to me, because I always ask God to
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: show me what he wants me to learn today. And
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this was a subject, but it
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: was something to the effect of controlling your atmosphere. And
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's something I might need, and I'll
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: be dog gone if it wasn't true. And I show
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 1: needed it and I wanted to give it to you today.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot going on in this world
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: today that you cannot control. You can't control the news.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: You can't control what people say, what people do, how
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: people act. You can control what you allowed to come
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: into your atmosphere. Because you have absolute control over your atmosphere,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: you have control over your thoughts and your emotions. You
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: can choose to be angry or you can stop being angry.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: You can be mad or you can decide to not
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: be mad. You can you can decide to look at
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: it positively or negatively. You can decide to listen to
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: gossip and He'll say or you can decide to block
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: it out. You have a say so and what you
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: allow into your atmosphere. He told the story about a
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: man who was listening to talk radio every day before
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: he went to work, and he would get into some
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: spirited arguments, and he would be in his car just
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: arguing his point with this talk radio show, not that
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: he was calling in, just getting mad at people's viewpoint,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: to the point where he came to work every day
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: and he was in a bad attitude and people at
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: the job didn't want to hang around him, didn't want
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: to talk to him at lunch because he kept bringing
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: up all these controversial topics that he had heard on
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: talk radio and he wanted to voice his opinion, and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: people stopped hanging around him. And then one day he
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: was looking for the talk radio on series and he
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: messed around and he stumbled across Joel Oldstein and he
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: started listening. And so then the next morning he listened again,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: and then he just started making it a habit, and
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, one of his friends at the
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: office asked him, Hey, man, what is it different about you?
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he said, you know what,
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: I stopped allowing outside interference to enter into my atmosphere,
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: and it changed the way our acted, behaved, and perceived things.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: And you have the right to do that. And I'm
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: saying to everybody, what are you allowing in your atmosphere?
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: You don't need toxic relationships. You don't. There's no reason
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: for you to allow a toxic relationship to exist in
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: your life. And I don't care if they family. If
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: they toxic, they toxic. There's nothing in the Bible that
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: says you have to deal with toxic people. There's nothing
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: that says as a Christian you have to tolerate toxic relationships.
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: You have every right to remove yourself from it so
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: you can make room for something else to enter into
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: your atmosphere. So the more all of the story, what
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: I learned is but Steve, you gotta control and to
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: say so of what enters into your atmosphere. You have
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: a say so in that. I don't have to deal
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: with you. If you're negative, if you are naysayer, if
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: you are a hater, if you spread gossip in lies,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: you can't get in my circle. I'm trying to live
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 1: a positive life. I'm trying to do the right thing.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: I don't need you in My day's hard enough trying
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: to be successful. No, I got missnectivity, mister nectivity just
