2:01

2:03

morning everybody. You are listening to the

2:05

voice, come on, dig me now wanted

2:08

only Steve Harvey got

2:10

a radio show. Man o,

2:12

man o, man, I

2:16

just I have to tell you this. How

2:22

good is the God I served? How

2:25

amazing is he? That's

2:28

that's all you know. And you know,

2:30

really, man, when I try to explain, um,

2:34

how I feel about what he does for me, really,

2:37

the words that I come up with that they just they

2:39

inadequate. Man, they don't they don't cut it. They

2:41

really don't. You know. I could say amazing.

2:45

At one time. I even just got there.

2:47

I tried something real ignorant. One time, I just

2:49

said, you know, God is just super casual, fragilistic

2:52

as be allidocious. I just tried that to

2:54

see how that felt. That's that's all the

2:56

change he is with me. I just try to because see

2:58

how that felt. But then I ain't feel right saying

3:01

that, the fact that he's amazing

3:03

and awesome and he's an awesome

3:05

god. You hear people say that as it's

3:07

bigger than that too, man. So you

3:10

know, as as hard as I try,

3:12

no matter what I do every day, I'm gonna come up

3:14

short with trying to explain to you exactly

3:17

how he works and how he is for me.

3:19

So I just thank him every day

3:21

every chance I get here.

3:24

It is it

3:27

is your determination and

3:29

your effort. Listen

3:31

to me carefully. It

3:34

is your determination and

3:37

your effort. I think

3:40

that the average person, and

3:42

I'm not knocking you, I just want you to hear me

3:44

out. I think what stops the

3:46

average person from becoming successful

3:49

is that we don't realize the

3:51

effort that it takes. That's

3:54

just truth. I found that

3:56

to be so true in my life

3:58

and my talking to people, in meeting

4:00

people and people aren't asking me questions

4:03

about it and me trying to figure out the way

4:05

myself. I don't think

4:08

that you really can comprehend

4:11

the effort that it takes to

4:13

become successful. This is

4:15

the thing that you have to wrap your mind around

4:18

very quickly. If you want to be

4:20

successful on any level in any

4:22

area. The dream

4:24

is the beginning. Good Lord,

4:27

let me tell you something. The determination

4:29

and effort is massive.

4:32

You cannot be

4:34

overly concerned with sleep.

4:37

If you are a person who is always

4:40

concerned about sleep, get

4:42

success out your mind. A fit to happen

4:44

partner is not fit to happen. You

4:47

cannot be that concerned

4:49

about sleep. Now listen

4:51

to me. You have to get your rest. But

4:55

this was my philosophy. I'm just

4:57

sharing you with what how I did it. My

5:00

philosophy was I stopped

5:03

being concerned about sleep. I

5:06

got my rest, but I got just

5:09

enough to

5:11

get back to it, and I

5:13

got back on the grind to hop into hustle. I

5:16

got just enough rest so

5:19

I could go and put forth some more

5:21

effort. But listen

5:23

to me. You cannot sleep

5:25

a third of your life away and expect

5:28

to become successful if you're not already

5:30

successful. If you are asleep for

5:32

eight hours, that is a third of your day.

5:35

You cannot be asleep a third

5:37

of your life and expect to get successful.

5:40

Not after you get successful. You

5:43

know, you learn as you go

5:46

to work smarter, not harder. So

5:48

as you get successful, you

5:50

may have eight hours available to you. But

5:53

on the way up there, I don't see how you can do it, I

5:55

promise you. I don't. Now I don't. Maybe somebody

5:57

can come forward I did it. I ain't. Yeah,

6:00

probably lying. But okay, tell your

6:02

story, because everybody

6:05

I know that's successful that I've

6:07

sat down a head real talks with, they

6:10

wasn't concerned with sleeping. You

6:13

cannot be concerned with sleeping

6:16

if you want to be successful. How how

6:18

can this happen for you? Listen

6:21

to me. The effort that it requires

6:23

is massive. It's an all out of salt

6:26

on your dream. Now you got to make

6:28

an assault. It's requires

6:30

and all out of salt on it. And

6:32

you can't be sleeping fight at the same time.

6:34

You can't fight when you sleep. Man.

6:37

I wish I could get y'all understand this right. Ill

6:40

understand that the effort that is required

6:43

to be successful will take everything

6:45

you have, and when you think you've

6:47

given your all, it's gonna require

6:50

some more. The quality

6:53

of your chill is amazing.

6:55

See that's said. Okay, listening, What

6:58

is sitting around having a bill day

7:00

fault? What what what I'm

7:02

sitting around smoking weed for every day?

7:04

Fault? Come on, man, for

7:06

real, But

7:08

if you took that beer, drinking weed

7:11

smoking chill time and apply it

7:13

to progressing yourself towards

7:15

your dream. When you

7:17

do carve out a vacation, guess

7:20

where you be able to go. Guess

7:22

what part of the world you can go see. Guess how

7:24

you can chill Now Now I'm instead of you just

7:27

driving every year your family to the

7:29

family union, sit at the same picnic table.

7:31

Everybody pull their money in. Two ten

7:34

families don't never pull they money in. They

7:36

down there eating like y'all eating. You got

7:38

attitude because the day or they

7:41

side don't ever chip in, and no they down

7:43

they eating the extra potatoes that making place.

7:45

You're not not arguing about this every year for

7:47

real? Man, they ain't got the T shirt

7:50

money. You know they got to say T

7:52

shirt don't. They ain't put in that really, man,

7:54

so so so so so you want

7:57

that to be it every year? Or do

7:59

you want this year I'm taking

8:01

my family to New Orleans, or

8:04

I'm taking my family see the Grand Canyon. I'm

8:06

taking my family down to the beach this year

8:09

and me and my family gonna go sight See, we're

8:11

gonna go ride Coup the River on Chicago.

8:14

Me and my family gonna go skiing this year, and

8:16

me and my family going out to La Man, we're

8:18

gonna we're gonna go out there for a weekend.

8:21

You know, you know it can happen like that. But if you

8:23

ain't working, listen

8:27

to me. Average

8:30

effort gets average results.

8:34

That's that's all it is to it. See,

8:38

ordinary effort gets

8:41

ordinary results.

8:44

But if you put forth an extra

8:47

effort. See, the only difference

8:49

between extraordinary and ordinary is

8:51

one word, that's extra. If you

8:53

do extra, you can take ordinary

8:56

right on over to extraordinary. Do

8:58

you understand you have to have a

9:00

massive assault on your dreams? Quit

9:03

sitting up in here, man, trying to chill all the time.

9:05

I'm sorry, man, I wish I could tell you

9:07

another way, but it ain't one. Here's

9:10

what I did. I wasn't

9:12

concerned about how much sleep I got.

9:14

I just had to get my rest. And

9:17

once I got enough rest to get up

9:19

and get the task done, I

9:22

got up. Somebody sent

9:24

me a tweet the

9:26

other day, a partner of mine.

9:29

He's someone to see if I can pull it up. While I'm talking

9:31

to you, but he just sent me a little sign.

9:34

Just wasn't nothing, just a little something to say.

9:36

Hey man, I ran across this, I

9:38

thought about you, and I sent it to you. It

9:41

said no alarm clock needed,

9:44

My passion wakes me. It's

9:48

in block print. He said,

9:50

no alarm clock needed, my

9:53

passion wakes me. That's

9:56

what you got to be about.

9:58

You're da ladies

10:03

and gentlemen, boys and girls, let me

10:05

have it. What about asking for your undivided

10:08

attention? Why because it's about to go down?

10:10

What Steve Hard Morning Show? When

10:12

right now? You know what I'm saying.

10:15

This is real simple. It's what we do

10:17

every morning. We try to bring

10:19

you information, motivation,

10:23

stimulation, education

10:26

and laugh asition. All

10:28

that these

10:31

is the laugh I Asian. I love

10:33

that one. That's laughing with

10:35

information combined laugh laugh

10:38

action. Yeah, yeah, I just thought

10:40

of that just now. Just now. Ain't nothing new,

10:43

you know, just just sitting up in here. I was telling

10:45

the crew right before I started, I said, I just

10:48

didn't get my gratitude in so I just want

10:50

to say it out loud this morning. Thank you my father

10:52

for waking me up to day, for keeping

10:54

me strong, for providing for

10:56

providing me with my measure

10:58

of health. I feel like today

11:01

and every day, I'm getting better

11:04

and better. In Jesus name, I'm

11:06

walking strong man. I ain't the way you can't

11:08

when you comfort me, you ain't coming from me because I

11:10

ain't by myself. Now I'm fair warning.

11:13

I have issued just wanted to enemies before.

11:16

It is my enemies versus my

11:18

God. Score one

11:20

billion to zero. Come

11:25

on, Lord Jesus, undefeated,

11:29

undefeated man. Even

11:34

when it looked like I was losing, I

11:36

ended up with it. Boys, So

11:40

I praised God for everything every moment

11:42

of my life that I've had to endure, overcome,

11:46

been overwhelmed by and

11:48

survived, which is all of

11:50

them. Steve harfmarnin Show,

11:52

Charley Strawberry Carlin for real, Mouth

11:54

to the South Junior and the legend that

11:56

he is nephew Tommy Junior. Anything

11:59

on your mind today, Yeah, there's just

12:01

funny that you would start to show that way on because I had

12:03

a question. We would talk about something, but everybody's

12:05

going through it and how to handle when you losing

12:08

your faith? How did you internally deal with

12:10

that? When ask me

12:12

that again, I missed it. When you just feel like you losing

12:14

your faith when you're seeing you in a situation

12:17

internally, How did you handle losing

12:20

getting it back and getting back on the right track.

12:22

Well, you know, it happens

12:24

to everybody that your face,

12:27

yea, that your trials and tribulations

12:30

get a bit much at times

12:33

and causes you to second

12:35

guess and wonder and

12:37

have doubt and

12:39

all that. I mean, it happens to everybody.

12:42

You know. When I have moments

12:44

like that, what I've learned to do, and

12:46

I haven't always known this, but what

12:48

I've learned to do when I get to those moments

12:50

is I go somewhere and I get real still. I

12:53

get you. Usually early in the morning.

12:56

I get real still when I'm by myself

12:59

and I focused on the gratitude

13:01

of what all has happened to me. In

13:04

that gratitude, I realized

13:06

that I have overcome and gained so

13:08

much in life. And then it restrengthens

13:11

me to deal with what's currently going

13:13

on, because once I think of the gratitude,

13:16

it exposes the track record that I

13:18

have to success winning

13:21

overcoming victories.

13:24

And I think of all the other times that I

13:26

had doubt that he ended up and he came through what

13:28

he got me. So that's a measure I've

13:31

learned to do. You got to thank God

13:33

when you're in the middle of it. Amen,

13:36

coming up in thirty two minutes after the hour,

13:38

we're gonna hear from the nephew. It's about to get ignorant.

21:02

21:12

the mother and daughter booty pics that were on

21:19

three anchors t J. Holmes and Amy Roebok

21:22

are Roebok are in mediation

21:25

21:27

meetings with a

21:34

they're in those meetings with ABC. We'll talk

21:36

about all of these stories at the top of the hour,

21:38

but right now it is time to

21:40

ask the CLO, the Chief Love

21:42

Officer, Steve Harvey in the building,

21:45

Ronda and Philly says, I'm a

21:47

single mother of a fifteen year old son, and

21:49

I have a question because there's no male

21:52

representation around us. My

21:54

son keeps his hands in the front of his

21:56

pants all the time when he sleeps

21:59

and walking aroun around the house. This

22:01

is so gross and disrespectful

22:03

to me. Is it normal or

22:05

should I say something? Well,

22:09

he's fifteen. Let me tell you what's

22:12

happening. It's very

22:14

normal for him to do that when he sleep.

22:17

I don't know if you've been around me and before with a

22:19

lot of grown men do it holding

22:22

on. It's jest, you know, so it's

22:25

a safe feeling it So yeah,

22:28

you know you're sleep and

22:31

now that's grown men do it. Fifteen,

22:34

he's in that age where it

22:37

is it reacts to

22:40

just about anything. It

22:43

don't take much. He's just not thinking

22:45

it out. And now

22:48

during the day and

22:51

that's a little odd. Sleeping

22:53

when he buys yourself, watching TV, that's very

22:56

normal. Walking around

22:58

all day, it is very adum.

23:04

You have to. But then

23:07

what didn't happened is, see, Mama, he didn got comfortable

23:09

with you. So now it's just

23:11

just mama. Now

23:13

if he's doing it at school and

23:16

walking down the street and waiting on buses

23:18

and you know, then

23:21

then we have a problem. But I think

23:23

it's just a moment. I he's gotten comfortable

23:25

around you, and I think

23:27

you could ask him not to do

23:29

that in front of you, and then most

23:31

boys should be respectful of their

23:33

mom. That cut it out. But at night it ain't

23:36

nothing you can do. But time daddy

23:38

was day in the daytime a little to dad attended. Boy,

23:42

boy, Well,

23:44

I can't say it on the radio.

23:46

You

23:46

don't. You can't

23:52

boiling boy if you don't get your head off, Jack Johnson,

23:54

ain't no heavyweight fight. Didn't hear this moment? Yea

23:59

you know that? Yeah? That kind

24:02

of all

24:04

right. Moving on to Dot in West Virginia.

24:07

Dot says, I'm sixty two years old, and I'm

24:09

dating a sixty three year old man that I met

24:11

at church. We've been together for

24:13

five months and we've had sex

24:15

a few times, but it's not enough

24:17

for me. He doesn't like it if

24:19

I initiate sex. And does this

24:21

mean we're not sexually compatible? YEA

24:27

one word? I know, Yeah,

24:30

dot, that's what that means. Yeah.

24:33

And West Virginia, you know, I

24:37

don't know if y'all met at the snake charmer

24:39

church. I don't know what church this is. I

24:41

don't really know what there's a lot of it

24:44

going on away. I'm from West Virginia. So you say,

24:46

yeah, anybody don't like it, you can just

24:48

get the email. No,

24:51

I'm just shocked. They

24:57

still doing snakes down there and contest

25:00

parts of Tennessee. Now

25:02

all Appellachians is doing it still, some

25:05

of them. It's not a widespread but it's

25:07

still out there shouting with

25:09

snakes and stuff like that. That's your bigger problem.

25:16

Or maybe his

25:18

snake is tired of making

25:21

appearances

25:24

and his snake is tired

25:27

of performing, and

25:29

so he got to pick and choose the time to

25:32

bring the snake out. FUS service

25:37

asked why he needs two rooms, and

27:26

he said the other room is for a female

27:28

friend. He just got married,

27:30

So I'm not gonna help him cheat. Should

27:33

I do it for him? Or should I tell

27:35

him to ask someone else? No, they

27:38

29:13

have some entertainment news for you all

29:15

right after this crazy you're

29:18

listening to show

29:22

still trending. The Oscar nominations

29:24

were announced on Tuesday, and we're

29:26

so happy for actress Angela Bassett's

29:29

nomination for Best Supporting Actress and her

29:32

performance as Queen Ramanda in Black

29:34

Panther Wakanda Forever. We

29:36

all know the Academy still owes Angela

29:38

and Oscar for her role as Tina Turner

29:40

in the movie What's Got What's Love Got to do with

29:42

It? Of course? Yeah.

29:46

Um. However, we are disappointed that Viola

29:49

day This was overlooked for the Best Actress

29:52

nomination for her role in the movie

29:54

The Woman King. Now, Steve, you saw The

29:56

Woman King, right, wasn't

29:59

it amazing? Whoa?

30:03

Yeah? Like Simon

30:06

asked me, and I

30:08

gave it a little bit of thought, but

30:10

you know who I think the greatest

30:13

female actor of all time

30:16

is as actress.

30:19

I really think it's Viola Davis.

30:21

Oh, she's so just

30:24

believable. But everything

30:26

she does from the White

30:28

House, the Offences

30:31

with Denza, I saw that.

30:34

I was right there with you. Yes,

30:37

I mean this woman is so

30:41

I movie

30:43

about the aide that the

30:45

help, Yeah, and how to get away with murder

30:49

him in his chest. Amazing, man,

30:53

she should have gotten nominated for that.

30:55

That movie can blow a snot bubble

30:58

on Cue. You was cold, says

31:01

the fellow actor on Tommy. Who do you think

31:03

it's the top female actress?

31:06

I think it was definitely in the

31:08

time. That's for definitely. She She's a bad

31:10

girl. She got she got every everything

31:13

on point that she don't miss a beat. Woman

31:16

King was woman King was outstanding.

31:20

She delivered, she delivered. I

31:22

just saw it. I just saw it. Yeah,

31:24

that's like one of my favorite movie

31:27

of last year, The Woman care no

31:30

scene. I haven't seen Black

31:32

Panther two yet, an

31:35

Well, I saw that and I said, you

31:38

know, as soon as I saw that, I said, she

31:40

should be nominated for an hour. Yes,

31:43

yes, she's a legend too,

31:46

Yes, yes, yeah, that girl

31:48

ain't gonna get it. That's right. People

31:50

think they just popped up. You

31:52

start looking at old TV shows and you start saying,

31:54

oh my god, that's yes.

31:59

Yeah, you know, it's been very route and

32:01

I'm gonna just be honest with you, the route that black

32:03

women have to take to get roles,

32:05

even in roles, I

32:08

mean, man like, they will. They

32:10

will not put a black woman in

32:12

a role simply because she black. Yeah,

32:15

yeah, black card. They don't want to have to explain

32:18

that all it's not

32:20

the look we're looking for. That's crazy,

32:23

Or she won't be able to bring in the audience

32:25

that we want, or you know, the

32:28

box office dollars and all

32:30

of that. Um well, anyway, yeah,

32:32

Viola King was over Viola Davis

32:35

was overlooked for The Woman King, and also

32:37

Danielle Dadweiler was snubbed

32:39

for her role in the movie Till

32:42

uh yeah, The Woman King,

32:44

Until are two movies with black women

32:46

as lead. Steve, you

32:49

just talked about this and they had black

32:51

directors as well. Um.

32:53

Academy Awards point, yeah, very

32:55

much, so, very much so. Academy Award

32:58

nominees received their votes from member of

33:00

the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts,

33:02

Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences. The

33:04

organization of more than ten thousand industry

33:07

professionals has around ninety five hundred

33:09

members who are eligible to vote

33:11

her vanity fair, according to MSN dot

33:13

com. Now the Oscars will be March

33:16

twelfth, and it will be hosted not

33:18

by Chris Rock, It will

33:20

be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Okay,

33:22

well, but you do something to let me say this too.

33:25

A lot of movies don't get recognition

33:28

like till because they

33:30

don't give a damn about that, right,

33:33

Yeah, what happened to this whole movement?

33:36

Remember the whole diversity, diversity

33:39

and inclusion and all that

33:47

last. Yeah, like the terms

33:49

described it perfectly. That came

33:51

and went, just like all our

33:53

movements come and go. Yeah,

33:55

what happened to Black Lives Matter? What

33:58

happened to kneeling? What happened? What

34:00

happened to the boycott? The expertise

34:03

of the oppressor is to

34:06

just let some time go back. The

34:09

first week them picket

34:11

signs as low crowded. Everybody

34:14

got a sign

34:15

about a month in braids.

34:19

Ain't half the people out there marching?

34:21

They ain't showing off nor more. And in six

34:23

Mores you ain't gotta word about it. So

34:26

yeah, sorry for those snubs, but

34:28

Viola Davis, we're huge

34:30

fans of yours and other

34:33

entertainment news. Erica Badou and her

34:35

family are responding to the backlash over

34:37

a picture of her daughter that

34:39

was posted on the Gram earlier this week.

34:42

Her name is Puma Curry. Puma

34:45

posted a picture standing alongside

34:47

her mom, Erica Badoud. They were both rocking

34:50

tight leggings and showing off their booties.

34:52

I mean they were showing off their curves. Some people

34:54

on social media found this to be scandalous,

34:57

leaving comments like quote,

34:59

so y'all advertising ass

35:01

objectifying and exploiting y'all

35:04

bodies for personal gain, then

35:06

post for likes, views, and engagement

35:09

for payment. This is clearly commercial

35:12

prostitution. You can

35:14

do nothing.

35:20

Then another one wrote, um yeah,

35:23

Then another one wrote anything for social media.

35:25

Well. Eighteen year old Pulma addressed the situation

35:28

in writing she said, I posted a picture of me

35:30

and my mama Badu and some cute form

35:32

fitting pants. I'm an adult, what's

35:34

the real issue? Meanwhile, Erica

35:36

has been cracking jokes saying wait

35:39

till you all see the inside's heart mind

35:41

and spirit. Next year, I'll show you all a

35:42

sonogram X ray

35:45

of my colon. The doctor says, and I quote,

35:47

is just the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Yes,

35:54

I love it. I love it all

35:56

right. Coming up, coming

35:59

up into twenty minutes after the hour, we'll have

36:01

more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Right

36:03

after this. You're listening to

36:05

the Stave Harvey Morning Show. Well.

36:08

The start of twenty twenty three has seen

36:10

an alarming spike and gun violence,

36:12

with forty mass shootings

36:15

so far this month. We

36:17

are still in January, Okay. The

36:20

Gun Violence Archive, which tracks

36:22

shootings across the country and defines mass

36:24

shooting as an incident where at least

36:26

four victims are injured or killed, says

36:29

seventy three people have so far been

36:32

killed this year. There were six

36:34

mass shootings in January alone,

36:36

and only seven days this month

36:39

which haven't seen a mass shooting. The recent

36:41

shooting this past Sunday in Monterey

36:43

Park, California, where twelve people were killed

36:45

and nine others were injured. Just

36:48

two days later, eight people were killed

36:50

in separate shootings in California's Bay

36:52

Area. There was another shooting

36:54

recently in North Carolina, and just yesterday

36:57

another shooting in Washington State.

36:59

President Biden said in a statement,

37:02

quote, we know the scourge of gun

37:04

violence across America requires

37:06

stronger action. The President spoke

37:08

about bills introduced Monday by

37:10

Senate Democrats, including a federal assault

37:13

weapons band and legislation that

37:15

would raise the minimum purchase age for assault

37:18

weapons to twenty one. The President

37:20

went on to say, I once again urge

37:22

both Chambers of Commerce to act quickly

37:25

and deliver this assault weapons band to my

37:27

desk and take actions to keep American

37:29

communities, schools, workplaces, and

37:32

home safe. So will

37:35

anything be done? I

37:38

doubt it. Yeah,

37:44

So Congress is just going to keep

37:46

saying thoughts and prayers, no action,

37:49

nothing, nothing. They

37:52

I mean, twenty one something donates

37:56

too much money to the Republican Party

37:59

for the republic In candidates to

38:01

open their damn mouth, because if you

38:03

open up your mouth against the Second Amendment,

38:06

they will take their money and put it

38:08

into the opposing candidate candidate

38:11

and make sure they win. So

38:16

this is more important than lives. I mean,

38:18

we saw it when

38:20

we all know that their main objective

38:23

is power, money and control and

38:25

money and nothing supersedes

38:28

that, including human life

38:30

until it comes down to your

38:33

damn that's your

38:35

life or your child. Until

38:38

that happens, man, it's business

38:40

as usual. This is this

38:43

is sad, this is crazy

38:45

the norm in this country.

43:11

the violence with young black men.

43:14

Good morning, is Steve. I'm from Philadelphia.

43:17

My name is Vince. This country really

43:19

needs your help because these black young

43:21

men are killing each other at an alarming

43:23

rate, and in the next ten to fifteen

43:26

years there will not be any

43:28

forty to forty five year old blackness.

43:31

You really need your help on this one, Steve.

43:34

You know, man, I'm willing to help.

43:36

I really am. What's

43:38

the starting point? How

43:41

43:43

we've got to get Hey,

43:58

the young ones nothing. Well, you talked

44:00

him into the game, you

44:02

44:05

them in. Somebody

44:10

more than willing to help. I

44:12

really really am. But that's basically

44:15

what my mentoring program is. Man. I try

44:17

54:38

No subject

54:44

they went to the place without

54:46

me. Dear Stephen Shirley, My husband

54:48

claims he was trying to do something sweet

54:50

and thoughtful, but it's backfired. It's

54:52

backfired on him. He decided

54:54

we would go to an island for our tenth

54:56

anniversary, and he invited four

54:59

couples to join us, but they couldn't give

55:01

me any details about the trip because

55:03

my husband wanted to surprise me. Last

55:06

weekend, my husband and my husband informed

55:08

me that he planned a trip to go visit the hotel,

55:11

check out boat rentals, and plan some

55:13

activities for our big weekend trip.

55:15

He said it would be a quick trip and he was taking

55:18

his buddy with him to help him

55:20

plan everything. He left

55:22

on Friday and texted me when he

55:25

landed. It was a long flight, so

55:27

he said he was going straight to his room and

55:29

get in the bed. I didn't

55:31

hear from him until four pm the next

55:34

day. I tried to FaceTime him

55:36

and he declined it, but then

55:38

he called me back on a regular call a

55:41

few minutes later, and it was loud

55:43

wherever he was. Then one

55:45

of my girlfriends texted me a picture

55:48

of a lady whose name

55:50

was Amber, on a boat in Cancoon.

55:54

I don't like Amber because she has been

55:56

friends with my husband for fifteen years

55:58

and she acts like she knows him a

56:01

lot better than I do. I

56:03

could not help but think Amber was wherever

56:06

my husband was. I called

56:08

him back to back. He didn't

56:10

answer, so I sent him at least ten

56:12

text messages. He finally

56:14

responded, yes, Amber is

56:16

helping me plan your weekend getaway,

56:19

and yes she is here with me. He

56:21

got home later that night and tried to plead

56:23

his case. But I've ignored him for over

56:26

a week. He must think I'm stupid.

56:28

How could this place ever be special to

56:31

me? Now that he's taken Amber

56:33

there. I told him to cancel the whole

56:35

trip. He said, I'm overreacting.

56:37

Why couldn't he Why couldn't he say

56:39

that he was going with Amber? Well,

56:42

he did tell you that he was going with a buddy,

56:44

and Amber is a buddy, but you know, not

56:46

the kind of buddy. Of course,

56:49

you know that was that you

56:51

thought he was talking about. And Amber

56:53

is wrong and he is wrong. Absolutely

56:56

they're both wrong for doing

56:58

this. He didn't mention it because

57:00

he knew you would be mad and probably explode

57:02

on him, and you would be right, absolutely

57:06

right. Your husband, though, who

57:11

your husband is thoughtful, I'll give him

57:13

that, but he's not very smart. He's not smart

57:15

at all. It was great that he wanted to do

57:17

something wonderful for your tenth anniversary,

57:20

but to plan it with this

57:22

Amber chick who he knows you can't

57:24

stand that beyond stupid

57:27

on his part, how is someone

57:29

you don't like gonna care enough to plan

57:32

a sexy, beautiful, awesome, memorable

57:34

celebration for you? And Amber

57:36

is stupid too for going over there in the

57:38

first place. And why wasn't he answering

57:40

her phone while he was all

57:43

over there with Amber? This had disaster

57:45

written all over at the moment your husband

57:47

included her. And I don't blame

57:49

you for canceling the trip or being

57:52

upset or anything. You're not overreacting.

57:54

You're acting as any wife would when

57:56

their husband asks a woman you don't like to help

57:58

plan something special for you. Get

58:00

out of here with this. Uh, Steve,

58:03

this is ridiculous, you

58:05

know this

58:12

letter, man, It's just this

58:16

is when men do stuff so

58:19

stupid that

58:22

I can't help you. Dog,

58:24

I can't help you at all. Bro, I

58:27

can't even joke this one out. No.

58:29

I could tell you him funny stuff make

58:32

you think, but it's it's not believable.

58:35

Now, let's just start at the bottom

58:37

of this letter. The subject is they went to

58:39

see the place with album. Her

58:42

last line in this letter says, he

58:45

says, I'm overreacting. Why

58:48

couldn't he say he

58:50

was going with Amber

58:53

because it is See,

58:56

we know why because of

58:58

this, he

59:00

can't come out and tell you this thing, this trip

59:03

is with Amble because all it is

59:06

the letter the reaction. He

59:09

want this, so he didn't

59:11

mention Amble. Now

59:15

does that make it right? This dude is

59:18

so dumb on so

59:20

many damn levels, you know, Bros.

59:22

I try to work with y'all sometimes get y'all

59:25

benefit of the doubt, and I will when

59:27

I can. But

59:29

Bro, when you do something so blatantly

59:31

stupid, man, I can't help you. Man what you want

59:33

me to do? I got

59:35

women that listen to this show and

59:39

then actually care about Uncle Steve's advice.

59:41

Now most of y'all know when I'm joking, y'all

59:44

know what I'm saying. Well, he did this cause

59:46

of that, and you know, you know, I'm just because

59:49

sometimes it's so obviously stupid. But

59:52

this is beyond obviously

59:54

stupid, because this had

59:57

an element of cunning involved.

1:00:01

And this is the part where I don't and I don't

1:00:04

like it because it was a special

1:00:06

occasion. This is where dudes

1:00:09

get in the most. He

1:00:11

decided that y'all will go on to island for

1:00:13

y'all's tenth anniversary. Okay,

1:00:15

Green, he invited

1:00:18

folk keep people to join us. Now

1:00:20

that's called you know, he got split the costs of this island

1:00:22

and all this hill maybe or

1:00:24

maybe you know, they just wanted some company, and

1:00:26

now all that's cool too, But

1:00:29

they couldn't give you any details about the trip

1:00:31

because my husband wanted to surprise

1:00:33

me. All right, so we come

1:00:35

back. I'm gonna show you how he tried

1:00:38

to surprise you. All

1:00:41

right, we'll have part two of Steve's response.

1:00:43

Can't wait for this coming up in

1:00:45

twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's

1:00:47

Strawberry Letters subject they went

1:00:49

to see the place without me. We'll get back

1:00:51

into it right after this. You're

1:00:54

listening to the show,

1:00:57

all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's

1:00:59

Strawberry letter or the subject is they

1:01:01

want to see the place without me. I'm

1:01:05

gonna apologize to women out there that's

1:01:07

listening to this because I just

1:01:09

can't even play around. I don't even know

1:01:11

where we're going with this right here. The

1:01:14

question she posed at the end of the letter

1:01:16

was why couldn't he say he was going with Amber?

1:01:19

And because of this. This is why

1:01:21

he didn't tell you about Amber because

1:01:23

of the reaction you have him right now in this

1:01:25

letter. And the part I don't like, bro

1:01:28

is he used a special occasion to

1:01:30

pull it off. This is where

1:01:32

the dog come in at and

1:01:34

this is what I don't like. So

1:01:37

he decided we go to an island for our

1:01:39

tenth anniversary. He invited folk couples

1:01:41

to join us, but

1:01:43

they couldn't give us any details about

1:01:45

the trip because my husband wanted to surprise

1:01:48

me. Okay, that

1:01:51

sounds cool, But last

1:01:53

weekend my husband informed me that he

1:01:56

planned the trip to go visit the hotel,

1:01:59

check out both rentals, and playing

1:02:01

some activities for our big weekend. He

1:02:04

said to be a quick trip and he was taking his buddy

1:02:07

with him to help him playing everything right

1:02:10

here. Why

1:02:13

would you say you taking your

1:02:15

buddy with you to help you playing

1:02:18

everything just right?

1:02:20

The dog? He shouldn't

1:02:22

have said it, but

1:02:26

he shouldn't have did it, because

1:02:28

this is for your tenth anniversary. Man,

1:02:31

you don't take special moments and

1:02:34

include trickery.

1:02:36

Yeah, that's where

1:02:38

the doggish part come in that man, And

1:02:41

that's what I'm a little ticked off with you

1:02:43

about. He said to be a quick

1:02:45

trip. He's taking his buddy with him to help him playing

1:02:47

everything. He left on Friday, text

1:02:49

me when he landed. Okay,

1:02:53

it was a long flight, so he said he was

1:02:55

going straight to his room and get into bed.

1:02:58

He did. I

1:03:01

didn't hear from him until folk him the

1:03:03

next day. I

1:03:05

tried to FaceTime him and he declined

1:03:08

it. See why declined

1:03:10

it? Just Let listen to me though.

1:03:13

Decline it means you saw it and hit

1:03:16

the red button. Just

1:03:20

let it ring. It's gold.

1:03:22

Stop. Why

1:03:27

are you declining it? You

1:03:32

never saw it? Stupid,

1:03:36

can't center in the man. He

1:03:40

calls me back on a regular call a

1:03:42

few minutes later, and it was loud wherever

1:03:44

he was. He was at the club. One

1:03:49

of my girlfriends take me a picture of

1:03:51

a lady named Amber on a boat in

1:03:53

can Koon. I don't like Amba

1:03:56

because she has been friends with my husband for

1:03:58

fifteen years and she acts like she knows him

1:04:00

a lot better than I do. Well she do. He

1:04:04

took her on the trip. Now, let

1:04:06

me tell you how you got to picture Amber

1:04:09

on the boat in can Koon. Because

1:04:12

one of the folk couples that y'all

1:04:14

went to one of the folk

1:04:16

couples. Dude set

1:04:20

up here and took a picture, got

1:04:24

a picture from his boy of Amber or

1:04:28

Amber is friends with one of

1:04:30

the girls, and sent how

1:04:32

the picture tell about we down here

1:04:35

playing in the trip, and the girls

1:04:37

sent a picture to you Amber

1:04:42

is in the picture and Amber either

1:04:44

center picture or the dumb ass husband

1:04:47

say yeah, man, me and me and Amber and

1:04:49

his boat we down here, and his wife saw

1:04:51

it as one of the other couples that you

1:04:55

so stupid.

1:05:01

Well it didn't said that. Text

1:05:03

me a picture of a lady named Amber boat

1:05:06

the girlfriend I don't like Amba.

1:05:08

I cannot help but think that Amber was whoever.

1:05:10

My husband was absolutely

1:05:13

right. I called

1:05:15

him back to back to back. He didn't answer, so

1:05:17

I sent him at least ten text messages.

1:05:21

We've all been here. He

1:05:24

finally responded, And

1:05:27

then this is what this fool said. Yes,

1:05:30

Amber is helping me playing your

1:05:32

weekend getaway, and yes she

1:05:35

is here with me. He knows

1:05:37

he's wrong. Dog, What

1:05:41

are you nuts? It's

1:05:43

no way I could have admitted

1:05:45

that I would even dare what the pictures

1:05:48

say? Well, I was the picture you

1:05:50

got the pictures. I don't care. Oh, I

1:05:52

wasn't in a picture that

1:05:56

is you. It's

1:05:58

not me. That is your

1:06:01

head in

1:06:03

Mexico. You know how many people in Mexico look like

1:06:05

me? A lot? Done? They

1:06:09

found the one who did. How

1:06:15

could his he ignored

1:06:17

me for then? Okay, anyway, he got home

1:06:19

later that night and tried to plead this case. I've

1:06:22

ignored him for over a week. He must think I'm stupid.

1:06:24

How could this place ever be special to

1:06:26

me? Now that he's taking Amber there?

1:06:28

I told him to cancel the whole trip, and

1:06:31

I could understand you doing that, he said,

1:06:34

I'm overreacting. Why couldn't he say

1:06:36

he was going with amb? He

1:06:39

can't tell you taking Amber? You

1:06:41

face time? He declined it he

1:06:44

in a loud atmosphere. He calls

1:06:46

you back later. I mean,

1:06:48

come on, he

1:06:50

should have never took amb. But this is stupid

1:06:53

on so many levels. It

1:06:56

just ignorance, man, dog and Bro,

1:06:59

you got to with the bid, you the maid. You gotta

1:07:01

lay in this one. Bro, I'm sorry, I don't know.

1:07:03

I don't know what to tell you. This is ignorant. All

1:07:05

right, You're so damned. Thank you? Steve. Post

1:07:13

Check out the Bwberry Letter podcast

1:07:15

on demand coming up in forty

1:07:17

six minutes after in Sports Talk with Junior.

1:07:20

Right after this, you're listening to

1:07:22

Steve Harvey Morning Show. All

1:07:25

right, ladies and gentlemen, Junior is here

1:07:27

now with Sports Talk. What you got, Junior,

1:07:29

please please just stop,

1:07:32

just ease up on the Cowboys. God,

1:07:34

they let

1:07:37

me tell you, baby, you can't make this up. This

1:07:39

is actually a true story. That was

1:07:41

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott

1:07:44

and his girlfriend for two years, how

1:07:46

with their separate ways? Now, yeah,

1:07:49

she left them because they say it. The Beans

1:07:52

say she left because she couldn't see no

1:07:54

ring coming.

1:07:58

God, lead colo.

1:08:01

He gave his bitch shot his girl.

1:08:06

Okay, Junior, Yeah, they

1:08:09

say Dak got into the locker

1:08:11

room and threw his helmet and

1:08:14

guess what. Somebody called

1:08:16

it. Somebody accepted it. Dog,

1:08:22

Just do it. That manure

1:08:25

of his girlfrid, Oh yeah,

1:08:28

the picture of mine. You know the other thing too,

1:08:30

man, This is how serious. Man. Everybody's really mad

1:08:32

at Dak Prescott because Michael Parson's linebacker

1:08:35

for the Dallas Cowboys, says

1:08:37

that three out of the four quarterbacks in the in

1:08:39

the Championship Games. Three out

1:08:41

of four quarterbacks in the Champion Games have rookie

1:08:43

contracts. He's talking about

1:08:46

Brock Purdy, Javid Hurts still his rookie

1:08:48

deal, and Joe Burrow. Now that he's

1:08:50

saying that wef we just get rid of dak Prescott,

1:08:53

maybe we can get some more talent in here at

1:08:55

quarterback. And

1:08:58

he just put that out there. Man, that's not even

1:09:00

really something you should be saying like that

1:09:02

because they just said yes.

1:09:05

Man, it is like they are internal over

1:09:07

in Dallas. Man, they don't like him. I

1:09:10

mean, look, I don't want to see

1:09:12

that go. I don't I don't want to see him go eat. I

1:09:14

don't want to see that. I really don't want to see him go.

1:09:16

So is there a way to fix the Cowboys?

1:09:19

Is Daktor Prescott the man in Dallas?

1:09:21

Should he stay? Should he get another

1:09:23

season? You know, Junior,

1:09:25

you're asking if somebody who never gave damn

1:09:28

by the Cowboys.

1:09:31

Let me just give your brief history moment. When I

1:09:33

was a little boy, the Dallas Cowboys

1:09:35

was in the North Division with the Cleveland

1:09:38

Browns. I have grown up since

1:09:40

a boy hating the Dallas

1:09:42

Cows the wrong person. I did. Now. When they

1:09:44

broke up the AFC NFC and the Cowboys

1:09:46

went over to the NFC and the Browns stayed in the

1:09:48

AFC, my hatred for them never

1:09:51

ended. This

1:09:58

is boyhood hate. I don't even

1:10:01

know how to rid myself of that. My bad

1:10:03

luck. I didn't know that far. I hated Mary

1:10:05

Singleton as a boy to this day, sixty

1:10:07

six years later. He

1:10:13

lived on my street. Either

1:10:22

another boy lived on my street. I just never

1:10:24

forget it, all

1:10:27

right, hang all

1:10:30

right, rolled it off into

1:10:32

the back of a Cohn bent my realm. I didn't have no

1:10:34

money form, no new realm. Coming

1:10:37

up. At the top of the fan,

1:10:41

Steve, a woman needs your help. Right after

1:10:44

this, you're listening to Steve

1:10:47

Morning Show. Well,

1:10:50

Steve, this one's for you. This one's from Derek

1:10:52

on Facebook. He writes, I finally

1:10:54

started dating again after a divorce

1:10:56

and two years off. These days, I

1:10:58

share custody of my with my wife,

1:11:01

and I have my little girl, Kelsey

1:11:03

over every other weekend. The downside

1:11:06

is that I made the mistake of introducing

1:11:08

the woman I've been seeing to my daughter

1:11:11

and have regretted it ever since.

1:11:13

Even though she's not a parent and has

1:11:15

only known my daughter for less than a

1:11:17

month. She somehow got the

1:11:20

idea in her head that she has

1:11:22

the right to punish and discipline Kelsey

1:11:24

when she comes over. It's led

1:11:27

to some uncomfortable moments and

1:11:29

it needs to stop. Is this the

1:11:31

relationship killer that I think it is? The

1:11:33

relationship with my little girl is far

1:11:35

more important, and there's a line that's going

1:11:37

to be crossed if I don't

1:11:40

control it. So yeah,

1:11:43

just a deal, break it. It's better she

1:11:45

don't understand it, you better, and if

1:11:47

the mama fund right? Dude,

1:11:53

Kelsey, Mama, Man,

1:11:55

it's not good brocause I'm a little

1:11:57

stunned anyway. What you

1:12:00

finally started dating after your divorce

1:12:02

and waited two years? Who

1:12:05

do that? Yeah?

1:12:07

I'm not really sure that's the truth, bro, because

1:12:11

me and we don't. We don't wait two years

1:12:13

to date. That's not who we are,

1:12:16

even if you have a little girl to raise or

1:12:18

whatever. Maybe he was concentrating

1:12:20

on his baborite, that's cool. Yeah, no,

1:12:23

no, no, she got to go to sleep though. Somebody

1:12:27

1:13:38

Steve? What what? What do

1:13:40

1:13:43

1:13:45

thinks it is, because yeah,

1:13:48

okay, so he should do she and it disciplined

1:13:50

in his baby and dog. You

1:13:53

1:14:07

all y'all going out jail cack

1:14:09

out. All

1:14:12

right, here's another one, another relationship question

1:14:14

from Tracy Steve uh. This

1:14:16

is from Steve Steve Harvey dot

1:14:18

com. It's been over two years since I was in a

1:14:20

relationship. I have a pretty active social

1:14:22

life. I meet lots of new people, but I just

1:14:24

don't never seem to meet anyone that I'm particularly

1:14:27

attracted to. I'm

1:14:29

afraid that I'm going to spend the rest of my life

1:14:31

alone. Is there's something wrong with me? Should I

1:14:33

be doing something different? Yeah?

1:14:36

First of all, why don't you quit putting that into atmosphere

1:14:40

that is

1:14:42

something wrong with you? Am

1:14:45

I doing something wrong? I'm

1:14:47

socially in app Why don't you stop

1:14:50

saying that. It's been two years. If you saying

1:14:52

that, and so you keep

1:14:54

attracting the wrong people, and

1:14:57

you keep claiming that you're socially in

1:14:59

app so you keep winding up

1:15:01

in the same situation. Positive

1:15:03

affirmation is the first thing you need to

1:15:05

do that every

1:15:07

day, in every way,

1:15:10

I'm getting better and better.

1:15:13

All right, Thank you? That was good. Coming

1:15:15

up at twenty minutes after the hour, we'll have more

1:15:18

of the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after

1:15:20

this. You're listening show,

1:15:26

all right, So Steve our last break, we

1:15:28

were talking trying to

1:15:30

help Tracy, who said, you

1:15:32

know, she's it's been two years since she's

1:15:34

been in a relationship. She has a pretty active

1:15:36

social life. She meets new people, but

1:15:39

she doesn't ever meet anyone that she's

1:15:41

interested in. And she's asking herself,

1:15:43

is there something wrong with her? Should she

1:15:46

be doing something different? And you said,

1:15:48

don't put that out in the atmosphere first,

1:15:50

what you know, like, is it something

1:15:53

wrong with her? I think only she

1:15:55

can answer that question. But now, what

1:15:57

a lot to mistake a lot of women do is

1:16:00

they listen to other people talking about girl,

1:16:02

you too picky and all iss here. And there's

1:16:04

no such thing as being too picky

1:16:06

unless you're underqualified

1:16:10

for the things that a man has to be

1:16:12

qualified for. See, if

1:16:14

you're looking for a man that's all that, then

1:16:16

I hate to tell you these ladies, but you need to

1:16:18

be all that too, right, That's

1:16:21

a huge part of it. And a

1:16:23

lot of times you go in here and you dump all

1:16:25

this on this man, but then the man

1:16:27

wants something dumped on him too. And

1:16:29

if you're not gonna be what you're looking for,

1:16:33

what do you think a man who has all

1:16:35

that is looking? Y'all think we're just out

1:16:37

here because you got some lashes on. That's what

1:16:39

you think. If you watch the African

1:16:42

Famous and Rich. You've seen that show.

1:16:46

I don't know how they open

1:16:48

their eyes with the shows.

1:16:55

Man, touch

1:16:58

your eyebrows.

1:17:01

Coming up in thirty three minutes, thank you. See

1:17:04

1:17:06

1:20:28

closing remarks from the one and only Steve

1:20:30

Harvey right after this. You're

1:20:32

listening to the Steve Morning

1:20:34

Show. It is time now for today's

1:20:37

closing remarks. But Steve, before we get

1:20:39

to you, um, we have

1:20:41

to say a prayer for the victims

1:20:43

of an extra alarm fire that happened

1:20:46

on yesterday in Chicago and a Kinwood

1:20:48

neighborhood. It was in a high rise building.

1:20:51

According to the Black Information Network,

1:20:53

this fire burned through several floors.

1:20:56

According to city records, this building

1:20:58

has been sighted from multiple city

1:21:00

code violations. Investigators

1:21:02

are looking into the cause of the fire,

1:21:05

and all we can say is, please keep

1:21:07

listening to our homestation in Chicago.

1:21:09

That would be B one oh three for

1:21:12

more on this developing story, and

1:21:14

definitely our prayers are going on. That's

1:21:18

horrible. I saw the debris. I saw it on

1:21:20

the news of debris flying from the

1:21:22

building. Horrible, horrible,

1:21:24

horrible, horrible, Praying for the

1:21:26

victims and their families. So sad. There's

1:21:28

so much going on, many, so much

1:21:30

going this world in which we live. You

1:21:38

know, it's a lot, you know, we

1:21:42

sometimes man, even

1:21:44

myself, I just found myself at a loss

1:21:48

with what happens on the news

1:21:52

in this country. Because

1:21:55

I've been very fortunate, and God

1:21:57

has graced me to be able to travel to

1:22:01

many, many different places. I

1:22:03

think traveling has really opened up my eyes

1:22:06

to a lot of things. Because I was very

1:22:08

very Americanized, I

1:22:11

was very very Western, because that's

1:22:13

why I grew up. Now, I

1:22:16

had a disadvantage growing up because of

1:22:18

who I was, the color of my

1:22:20

skin, that age, the period

1:22:22

that I grew up in. But through

1:22:25

God's grace, I got through and

1:22:27

I'm here now and it affords

1:22:30

me an incredible life that almost

1:22:32

almost never really saw coming. To

1:22:34

be honest with you, That's how I know its God's

1:22:37

grace, because I didn't. I didn't plan it

1:22:39

this way. You know. I had some hopes

1:22:41

and dreams and some visions, but I certainly

1:22:43

cannot tell you that I mapped this out.

1:22:46

I just didn't, man. And

1:22:48

the more I travel, the more

1:22:51

I've been awakened and

1:22:53

understanding of just

1:22:56

everything. Man, we have

1:22:59

been fed so much

1:23:01

misinformation about other

1:23:04

parts of the world. It's alarming.

1:23:08

It's alarming. And our

1:23:11

country's attitude of superiority

1:23:15

is well noted around the world.

1:23:18

Now, is America admired in some

1:23:21

places? Yes? Yes.

1:23:24

Do people aspire to come there for

1:23:26

opportunity, to come here for opportunity?

1:23:29

Yes? Yes. Do

1:23:32

they have any idea what all is over here?

1:23:34

I promise you you don't. I

1:23:37

promise you you don't. I

1:23:40

talk to Africans all

1:23:42

the time about

1:23:45

their strong desire to get to

1:23:47

the state because they see,

1:23:50

you know, opportunity. They see

1:23:52

all these videos, they see

1:23:55

these people who

1:23:57

are thriving, surviving, They see

1:23:59

all that. But

1:24:02

you got to pull the curtain back so

1:24:05

you can see all of it. And

1:24:08

it's it's really man.

1:24:11

If we could tie the two nations

1:24:13

together, if African

1:24:16

Americans could understand

1:24:18

the value of going to Africa

1:24:21

and understanding what's actually

1:24:23

there, if we could bridge

1:24:25

that gap, that would be

1:24:28

a solving of so many problems.

1:24:31

And you know, you

1:24:34

do you know that Africa is the only continent

1:24:37

on Earth that does not have to

1:24:40

import anything. They

1:24:42

don't need your food. They

1:24:44

have it there. They have the resources. Now

1:24:46

they don't have the roads and the infrastructure

1:24:49

to trade. But they got

1:24:51

food over there. They got all

1:24:53

the fruits, they got all the animals,

1:24:55

they have everything over there. They got

1:24:58

all the minerals, they

1:25:00

have everything. Africa

1:25:03

doesn't need to import anything.

1:25:06

America has to import resources,

1:25:09

Russia has to import stuff. Everywhere

1:25:12

I go has to import with the

1:25:14

exception of Africa. But

1:25:16

yet, and still that's such a cry to

1:25:18

leave there to come here. Man,

1:25:21

if we could go there and

1:25:23

look at the opportunities that were available.

1:25:27

Africa is the fastest growing

1:25:29

continent on Earth.

1:25:33

American business don't want you to

1:25:35

know that because they over there taking

1:25:38

They're not investing in Africa. They're

1:25:41

stripping it like they always have. They

1:25:43

started by stripping it of their people.

1:25:46

How do you think America got built?

1:25:49

First they stripped it of the people. Then they went

1:25:51

over they went, whoa, they have all

1:25:53

the resources. So

1:25:55

then they began stripping the resources.

1:25:58

So then the really slick part came

1:26:00

about when they said, wow, if we don't

1:26:02

help them and leave them in these

1:26:04

remote areas where they don't have

1:26:07

access to water and simple things.

1:26:09

We come in dig a well

1:26:12

in exchange for ownership of all

1:26:14

this land and everything that's in it. So

1:26:17

not just out of pure survival. Yes,

1:26:21

dig us this well. Bring

1:26:23

your technology to dig the well. Now we

1:26:25

got water or now they've given up

1:26:27

their resources. The stripping

1:26:29

of Africa has been going on for

1:26:32

hundreds of years. If

1:26:35

African Americans would

1:26:37

go to Africa and learn the

1:26:40

opportunities and take

1:26:42

your money and invest in infrastructure

1:26:44

and housing, in agriculture,

1:26:47

that's so much to do over

1:26:49

that it would strengthen the continent. That's

1:26:52

the longer conversation than I have time

1:26:54

for to take. But just

1:26:58

travel so you can see the world for what

1:27:00

it is instead of what America has made you

1:27:02

believe it to be. Those are my close remarks

1:27:04

today. Hey, listen, y'all talk to God. He'd

1:27:07

love to hear from you. Okay.
