1:43

1:46

1:58

come on your baby now. Uh

2:01

huh, I show will good

2:04

morning everybody you're listening

2:06

to the voice, Come on dig me now. One

2:08

and only Steve Harvey oh Man got

2:10

a radio show. Man

2:12

got a radio show and a whole lot mold too,

2:15

man. God is good to me. I

2:17

have no other explanation, if I

2:20

have no other explanation of my existence

2:23

and where I stand in this thing called life,

2:25

except if it was not for the goodness

2:28

of God Almighty. If it was not for

2:30

His grace and his mercy, There's

2:33

no way I could exist the way

2:35

that I do. I would not be who

2:38

I am or where I am. I am who

2:40

I am and where I am simply

2:43

because God is who

2:46

he is. If it was not

2:48

for God, I would have no

2:51

testimony for you, because I would

2:53

have failed every single test

2:56

plain, pure and simple.

2:59

I can sit here today until you

3:01

flat out that it

3:04

is purely because of God's

3:06

grace and mercy that

3:08

I exist today because of His favor.

3:11

See now He shows us

3:13

favor in life because of a

3:16

combination of things I've discovered.

3:18

And this is not the whole answer

3:21

to life. I can assure you as not. But

3:23

this is a combination that I've grown

3:25

to understand better and better,

3:28

and I wish I had gotten it earlier

3:30

in my life. But here it is.

3:34

If you take faith and

3:38

you combine it with

3:41

an incredible work ethic,

3:45

then God has

3:48

the greatest opportunities

3:52

to show you favor. That's

3:54

the best way I can explain success

3:56

to you from my standpoint.

3:59

It is the combination of faith and

4:02

work that produces

4:04

the most opportunities

4:07

for God to show you favor. See a lot

4:09

of times we want God to bless us, but we

4:11

ain't doing nothing for him to bless So

4:14

now we sideways in the equation a

4:17

little bit. But see, if you had

4:19

the faith in God that

4:22

God can do anything but fail,

4:24

that God will get you through, that God

4:27

will see you through, that that God

4:29

is the God you serve as the greatest gift

4:31

of all good things, if you kept

4:33

that faith intact through

4:35

it all, and you produced

4:39

an incredible work ethic that

4:41

allows the most opportunities

4:44

for God to show you favor. See

4:48

without that what you want God to do? See,

4:50

you can have faith and

4:52

be sitting at the house watching TV. There's

4:56

nothing being produced, no

4:58

opportunities for God to show your

5:00

favor. And you got to

5:03

do some things man, that you

5:05

are uncomfortable doing or

5:07

don't feel like doing, or something

5:09

that don't have the right payoff right in

5:11

front of your face, with the faith

5:14

that it will payoff later on. See,

5:16

too many people are working for the right

5:19

now reward, and the right now

5:21

reward is not how it works. Sometimes

5:24

the reward is coming later on up

5:26

the road. But the only way you can

5:28

know that is if you got to You got

5:30

to apply the faith and see the

5:33

reason you don't know that that's

5:35

coming like that, or you have to have faith

5:38

to believe that it is coming. Because faith

5:40

is the belief in things

5:43

that you cannot see. That's

5:45

what faith is. You know you're standing

5:48

at let me give you them. You're standing at

5:50

the crosswalk with a walk sign

5:52

on it and the sign flashing on the corner

5:55

don't walk then that

5:57

the signs say walk, What

6:00

do you think your chances are making it across

6:03

that street? Is well, pretty good

6:06

because guess what the signs say

6:08

walk. You can see the other side.

6:10

There's other people in the cross walk walking,

6:13

So guess what you strike out blindly?

6:15

It don't take a lot of faith to get across

6:18

that street. That's that's

6:20

That's not why I'm talking to you about. I'm

6:23

talking about the faith, the belief in things

6:25

that you cannot see, the

6:28

faith that what I'm doing today,

6:31

I believe in my heart of

6:33

heart that God wouldn't bring me this far

6:35

to leave me. That God is a true

6:38

and living God, that he keeps his promises, that

6:40

later on, there's things that I'm working towards

6:42

right now gonna pay off later on. See,

6:45

too many people want to reward right now.

6:48

See, that's not the exhibition of faith.

6:51

If it's the right thing to do, if

6:54

it's if it's a good thing to do, if

6:56

it's a just thing to do, see if

6:59

it's seeing in it it ain't

7:01

God. You can just clear on up right

7:03

there. You can stop all the wandering. If

7:05

that's his voice talking to you, if

7:08

it's the right thing to do. If it's sin

7:10

in it, it's not God

7:13

talking to you. Kill

7:15

it. You you you can shut it down. You

7:17

ain't got to wonder about it. Go down there secrevenge.

7:20

That ain't God. Go tell him off when

7:22

you see him. That ain't God. Anything

7:24

that's God's sin in it, is not God's

7:27

voice telling you to do it. So you can you can

7:29

kill that conversation to date. That's

7:31

how you know. But if you align yourself

7:34

up man and you and what you're doing is just

7:36

and right and correct and pleasing

7:38

in the sight of God, it'll

7:41

pay off for you later on. And

7:43

see here's here's

7:46

here's the best way I can tell to it. Here's

7:48

another one. When you're

7:50

going somewhere, when

7:52

you're when you're on the road to going somewhere,

7:55

and you know the somewhere that you're trying to

7:57

get to. Let's say you've set a goal

7:59

of vision for yourself, you know where you want to

8:01

get to, You got a good idea,

8:04

and you own your way to going there. Listen

8:07

to me when it gets hard, and it

8:10

is going to get hard, when it gets

8:12

difficult, and it is going to get

8:15

difficult, when it becomes challenging,

8:17

and it is going to become challenging

8:20

when it becomes all three of those things.

8:22

When it don't look like it's gonna happen,

8:25

don't stop and complain so much.

8:28

But see, I know he didn't bless me.

8:30

But in the middle of it, man, I felt

8:32

a little heavy. And you got to be careful

8:35

when it gets hard for you, because you'll find yourself

8:37

complaining. And when you're complaining.

8:40

See, what you can't do is

8:42

you can't complain so much that

8:44

you forget that the

8:47

place that you're trying to go to, you

8:49

actually own your way there still. See,

8:53

don't get caught up into complaining and

8:55

then lose sight of your blessing that's actually happening.

8:57

It to you, what real

9:00

man of all the times

9:02

to register a complaint to God

9:04

to sit up and go, hey, man, I didn't

9:07

want wanted to ease back into this thing. Ease

9:09

back in, man, you in it's

9:12

it's a tornado world around you. You ain't got time

9:14

to ease back in. You got it going and jump

9:16

back in it. It is what it is to

9:18

whom much is given, much is required.

9:21

Always appreciate the blessings. Don't

9:23

get so caught up into complaints that you lose

9:25

sight of the blessings. Man. God got a lot

9:27

for you in your life, man, but you gotta

9:29

have them two things, y'all. You gotta take

9:32

that faith and you got to apply a

9:35

crazy work ethic to it. And that

9:37

creates the most opportunities

9:40

for God to show your favor. And when God

9:42

starts showing your favor, man, all

9:44

of them seeds you planted, all

9:46

of that, all of that wheat you've been

9:48

sewing, all of that hard work you've been

9:50

put in, God will pay it off. And

9:53

he'll pay it off in ways that you don't even

9:55

see coming. Okay, cool, you're

9:57

listening. Morning

10:00

10:03

and gentlemen, May

the golf courses now. A lot

13:03

of times you have to walk and

13:05

everybody has their own card. You can't

13:08

know two people on the same car. That's

13:11

13:34

be careful out there, Steve, All

13:36

right, coming up at thirty two minutes after the hour,

13:39

ask the CLO for this

13:42

Friday. Right after this, you're

13:44

listening to show

13:47

coming up next hour, Charlie Wilson.

13:50

Uncle Charlie will be our special.

13:53

Looking forward to that, right, Yeah, but uh

13:55

huh, it's been a minute. But first it is

13:57

time to ask the CLO. The Chief love

14:00

officer Steve Harvey, Steve,

14:02

Here we go. This one's from Millicent in New

14:04

Orleans. She says, I'm thirty years old and

14:07

my dad came in my life six years

14:09

ago. My dad was already married

14:11

when my mom got pregnant with me, so I

14:13

grew up without him in my life. I

14:15

met his wife a few months after I

14:18

reconnected with him. His wife

14:20

explained how my dad kept me as a

14:22

secret for years because my mom

14:24

was a one night stand after he'd

14:26

been drinking one night. I

14:29

was furious because my dad was with

14:31

my mom for four years

14:33

and they went on trips together, and he

14:35

was in the delivery room when I was born.

14:38

Should I show his wife the receipts? Or

14:41

should I let it go? Not well

14:50

makes Walks brown. She

14:52

wants to have a story to

14:55

tell that makes her see her

14:57

adequate for some reason, cause to

15:00

rum and meet a young woman who hasn't

15:02

had a relationship with her father in

15:04

twenty four years, and that's the

15:06

story you want to tell. You were

15:08

kept a secret because you are one night

15:11

stand. I mean, come on, lady, what's

15:13

what's your purpose for trying to mess

15:15

this young lady's up relationship up? Like

15:18

that that's foul within itself.

15:20

Now, with that being said,

15:25

do you return the foulness

15:28

that she put out too

15:30

wrong? I don't

15:33

think so. I think you should take the high

15:35

road. I think the important

15:37

thing for here is for you to have

15:40

for whatever relationship you can have with your

15:42

dad. You know, it

15:44

doesn't matter me and make a lot of mistakes.

15:46

I make mistakes as a young man myself,

15:49

me and make mistakes and have

15:51

the right to get it right and recover. What

15:54

she didn't have the right to do was

15:56

coming here and bust your bubble with all that information

15:59

that she should have the bigger woman. But

16:02

because she not a big woman, don't mean you

16:05

shouldn't be either. I think that God will

16:07

keep you in a better place if you take the high

16:09

road myself, That's

16:11

what I would suggest. But you know, if

16:14

you're one of them days and you're just feeling funky,

16:17

go ahead, go ahead.

16:20

You know, good advice,

16:22

Steve. I like that, Thank you? Yeah,

16:24

Now I have for you was the one night staying

16:26

right right, all right? Moving

16:29

on. This one's from Verna in White Plains,

16:32

New York. She says, I've been married for fourteen

16:34

years and I love my husband dearly,

16:37

but he stinks.

16:41

Uh, he's in shape, he has

16:43

a healthy diet, but he smells

16:45

like hot garbage. I

16:47

told him whatever he's eating isn't

16:49

agreeing with his body, so he switched

16:52

up his diet and supplement. I

16:54

got him. I got him

16:56

to take a shower as soon as he gets home.

16:59

But the smell comes back twenty

17:01

minutes later. It's not coming

17:03

from a particular body part. It's

17:05

not his feet or his butt. It's

17:08

just an overall odor. I

17:11

can't get in the mood for sex anymore. And he

17:13

thinks that because of other reasons.

17:15

Should I tell him he's funky? I

17:18

mean, you told us the

17:20

world to him. I

17:24

don't even understand how you ain't had this conversation

17:27

and you told us. And I'm gonna

17:29

tell you what he needs to do. He needs to take

17:32

one of those allergy exams, those

17:35

that tells you what your body is allergic

17:37

to. It's a test that you can

17:39

take and you find out if you your

17:42

body doesn't respond, will the gluten is something

17:44

and it could be something that's subscreting out of his body

17:46

that just don't agree with him. But he's

17:48

doing it anyway, and the way it comes out is

17:50

through his pose. He stank. I

17:53

don't know. I'm not standing nobody fourteen

17:55

years on. That's fourteen years that stank.

17:58

That's funky. You can stak

18:00

this evening, but by tomorrow you need

18:02

to make some type of compection. We're not gonna do this

18:05

every Christmas, all

18:07

the birthdays, in the New Year's Eve, by

18:09

sad to here you come again? They ain't a staink

18:12

up at the church? Now? Kind

18:15

level of stinking? What kind of level

18:17

of stink is it? Though? Is it medium? Low

18:19

stain? You stink? You're a Bible

18:21

study? You as stink garbage?

18:24

Why hot garbage is

18:26

high stain? But

18:28

if it's a low stink, you might be at a

18:30

time. No such thing as low stink. Your

18:32

ass s thank you? Stink ain't no low

18:35

star. I smell it. That's too high and

18:39

too damn much sitting up. Didn't

18:41

hear my eyes watering up? You just sitting

18:43

over that drinking coffee? What is the hell

18:45

I'm in here for? Sitting over here?

18:47

We're in the car, it's winter time, it's

18:49

thirty thirteen degree where I got to

18:51

get this window down because I can't stay

18:53

locked up here? Nothing worse than home.

18:56

Fucking ass frozen popsicle

19:04

sitting up here. We all can't go nowhere. You

19:06

have to stow staking just walking through the

19:08

mass. Think it all right down

19:10

at the movies? People turn around? Who's

19:13

back here? Is all right? Anonymous

19:16

in DC says, I've been working as a warehouse

19:18

manager for three years, and I have a big

19:21

problem because I've fallen in love with one

19:23

of my employees. He is married,

19:25

has children and a nice home. I

19:27

know all of this because I stalk him on social

19:30

media and I've driven by his house a few times.

19:32

I'm a sexy woman in my mid thirties,

19:34

and I know he sees me, even flirts with

19:37

me. Some days I can't get him

19:39

out of my mind. Should I approach

19:41

him and see what's up? Or would that be going too

19:43

far? Since I'm his boss? What

19:48

damn? You stalk him? That's

19:51

scary you to drove by's house?

19:53

Yeah, and he's married. Now,

19:56

20:11

20:16

20:21

20:23

20:25

32:13

jumped up just get ready to go back

to work. I was like, what do you mean work, get

32:18

back in that studio, let's go. I was like,

32:20

oh, okay, So that's what I did.

32:22

And I've been doing that ever since. But

32:24

it's been great because people

32:27

don't ever see me too much, you know, because

32:29

we don't go anywhere. So home is

32:32

what we always We always here anyway, So

32:34

all right, go back there and swim, go

32:36

back there and work out, get over that to

32:38

the right over there, and go make some music. We

32:42

come back and handsome go to bed and do the same thing the

32:44

next day. That's pretty good. I mean, you know, you're handling

32:46

it like a lot of people are a lot of

32:48

people are handling it the wrong way. I mean,

32:51

just take advantage of the time. I've looked

32:53

at it as an opportunity to relax

32:56

and refreshing it sound Yeah, that's what you've

32:58

done. Read you man,

33:01

that's it right there. Hey, Charlie Man,

33:04

then you're from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Man, with all

33:06

of this that's going on, the uprising,

33:08

the president coming to Oklahorea

33:11

coming over, and

33:16

U supposed to be twenty thousand, supposed to be

33:18

a million on it in but that

33:22

head fake coach, of course he can't count

33:24

good, no way, so he had

33:26

all this, With all of this that's going on, man,

33:28

and with Tulsa. You you

33:31

you probably, I mean, I know you're more than

33:33

familiar with the history of Black Wall Street and

33:35

everything that happened in Tulsa. What's

33:38

the climate for you now? How

33:40

are you looking at this social

33:43

uprising for justice on

33:45

behalf of black people. What's some of your thoughts on

33:47

the Childie? Well, you know, you

33:50

know I ain't very political, but let me just say this. The

33:52

way I've been watching um uh

33:55

Black Sands and everybody protesting

33:58

and marching, I'm never all

34:00

of the years I've been living that

34:03

I knew what I was looking at. It's like I've

34:05

never ever seen white

34:07

people almost

34:09

more than black people, marching

34:12

beside black people and

34:15

got signs in their hands, white people

34:17

saying that black lives matter. I've never

34:19

ever ever seen that in my whole

34:21

life. So I just said, you

34:23

know, I hope that this is the generation could

34:26

probably make a distance connect to change. I mean,

34:28

you know, we have to vote, we have to do all these things

34:30

to help make this thing go on. But you

34:33

know, it just it looked it looked sexy

34:35

for me to a point, you

34:37

know. I mean personally, I I wasn't

34:41

ain't all this sh about the looten, but you

34:43

know what I'm saying, sometimes that go with

34:45

it. You get something one out boys

34:47

and it's like that go with it. Some of it that

34:51

just go sorry. But we personally,

34:53

I don't. I don't know too much. You know, I ain't that ain't

34:56

sect it for me. But hey man,

34:58

it's looking it's looking upward a little bit.

35:00

I just think what happened need to happen now

35:03

is that you know, those heads need

35:05

to get together and these kids that's

35:08

loving what they got their signs, they're

35:10

living what they're saying and living what they're

35:12

watching about. I just think they need to keep on, you

35:14

know, uh very carefully

35:17

and and uh and and and and

35:19

and peacefully and just make

35:21

their point, just continue to set the

35:24

thing is is getting wrapped up because I

35:26

think you know, they just kilt they

35:28

just kilt us over this last time. This was it. This

35:31

was the one that just tilt over, just crashed

35:34

and and it burned. To people, it's like arm enough

35:37

is enough, you know, it's just come on, man, It's

35:39

like you just think about

35:41

all of the other kids that didn't got the

35:44

footing, the neck did Nobody don't

35:46

know how they died. It's so many. I'm not political,

35:48

so I'm gonna go the I'm gonna shut up in a minute because

35:50

my people start getting nervous. Okay, he's going on a rant,

35:52

so I'm gonna be quiet. You know, they

35:55

45:35

Okay? Now you you you are a Caucasian

45:37

woman. Correct, Okay,

45:41

Why I'm still trying to get to why

45:43

are you calling? Well, what's

45:45

going on is, um, I'm with

45:47

an organization and we're calling people

45:49

who are in interracial relationships,

45:52

and from my understanding, you are in a

45:55

interracial relationship. Correct, Yes,

45:58

okay, I'm with n b FU

46:01

and that's uh NBFU

46:04

is no blacks for you. And

46:06

what we're doing is we're trying to get uh

46:10

racist to go back to dating each

46:13

other, you know, which means Caucasians

46:15

going back. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I

46:17

first, I don't know who

46:20

do you think you are calling my house? But

46:22

that's just not gonna happen. And I don't know where this organization

46:25

is based out of. I mean, you must be some

46:28

country bumpkin or something and you

46:30

have just really called the wrong house. Okay,

46:32

Well, no, when uh NBFU

46:35

ma'am has been around since the early

46:38

nineteen forties. Yeah, I can imagine.

46:40

I can imagine that. Now, I'm sure at some points,

46:42

you guys have to shut down because this is just

46:45

ridiculous. Do you know what I mean? Obama's

46:47

mother was white. Are you gonna go knock

46:49

on his door too? What the hell are you? I'm not gonna

46:51

have time to knock on Obama's door. He's business.

46:55

I'm trying to do was get the rest of the country from

47:00

black and that's what I'm

47:02

playing. What I'm trying to try to tell us we can't

47:05

be together because you're black and I'm

47:07

white. He's kind yo,

47:10

what's up? Who this? Uh? Okay?

47:14

Who? Who? Who? Who is this? This

47:17

is a I'm a man? Who this? Okay?

47:19

This is Gada mancol

47:22

And what I'm doing, man, is well, you know, I'm with an

47:25

organization called nb FLU

47:27

and NBFU. Man. There's no Blacks

47:30

for you, which what we're trying to do is we're trying

47:32

to get all racists to go back to each

47:34

other. What you're tellingly tripping?

47:36

Man? You are what? What? What

47:39

kind of organization is that y'all are tripping?

47:41

Okay? Brother, let me ask you don't feel you

47:44

don't feel empty without the sister

47:46

on your side. You don't feel empty without

47:49

loving black woman on your side.

47:51

That's what I'm asking you, brother. I got I got plenty

47:54

of black woman on my side, but that don't mean that

47:56

I had to be in a relationship with a black woman. I'm in

47:58

a relationship with a woman I love. So that's

48:00

what it's about. And now I don't feel empty. That's

48:02

the first problem with your organization right there, that

48:05

the premise is wrong. Okay, okay,

48:07

okay, but brother, what we're trying to do, man, we

48:09

don't want to lose our rate. We don't want

48:11

the blacks to lose the strength that we have. And if

48:13

blacks continued to date and mate with

48:16

blacks, then we would be as powerful

48:18

and stronger than any other race in the

48:20

world. Where did you get this number from?

48:22

That? Excuse me? How do you get this numbing in the first

48:24

la? Dude? I mean, I ain't got time fall this man.

48:27

This is a nonsense bro. How you Why are

48:29

you calling? Uh? Hey? Man? Because all y'all interracial

48:31

or couple? It was yeah, but what business does that? Man?

48:34

That ain't not in your business, hey, but it is my business.

48:36

Is I'm with if I'm with n B L for you

48:39

know that you and you you're a black

48:41

person that are integrated within another

48:43

race. And what we're trying to do, man, is get you to

48:46

understand to come back to your race

48:48

and be comfortable and happy in your

48:50

race. Oh you really now,

48:53

do come back to my race. I ain't never left my lazy

48:56

dog. You are tripping, yo, and be

48:58

you you. I'll get off our phone.

49:01

Man, don't call hit no more with that? Did

49:03

you think that you are happier with

49:05

a Caucasian woman than you would be with

49:07

a black woman? Man, I don't

49:09

even I don't want to entertain it. Don't

49:12

call hit no more. Don't call hit

49:14

49:44

49:46

Man, are you more comfortable in

49:49

a relationship with a Caucasian woman

49:51

than you are with a black woman? Dog?

49:53

I told you, man, it ain't even about that and weren't

49:55

even going into that. So look, just

49:58

please, brother, can you stop calling

50:00

54:11

the Strawberry Letter. Thank you, nephew.

54:13

Subject my husband switched

54:16

from Hymns to Hennessey. Dear

54:19

Stephen Shirley, I'm a thirty nine year

54:21

old Latino woman, and I'm

54:23

married to a fifty three year old Black man.

54:26

We've been together for seven years and

54:28

we've been married for three years. We

54:31

met at church and we're both in the church

54:33

choir. When we started dating,

54:35

I saw an edgier side of him. He

54:38

wrote a motorcycle drink Hennessy

54:40

on the weekend, and he cursed whenever

54:42

he talked to his friends. It was different

54:45

from the church man I met, but I

54:47

liked it. He told me that he didn't

54:49

want to scare me away because I was his

54:52

queen. Whenever we'd go places in

54:54

his car, he'd have his satellite radio

54:56

on rap music, and the lyrics were so offensive

54:59

that I asked him if he could turn it off. He

55:01

apologized and said he'd never play that

55:03

type of music around me again. After

55:06

we got married and got our first house, he

55:08

turned the garage into his man cave.

55:10

He'd go out there and sit for hours,

55:13

watching TV and listening to music.

55:15

I'd be in the house, cleaning up, cooking

55:18

and singing along to gospel music.

55:20

Once we had to be quarantined,

55:23

he would stay in his man cave

55:25

all day and all day long,

55:28

he played very explicit rap

55:30

music very loud while he sipped

55:32

on his hennessy. I could hear

55:34

it through the house, so I know the neighbors

55:36

could hear it too. He said he dared

55:39

our neighbors to come say anything to us.

55:41

It was so embarrassing. My

55:43

husband is so different when he plays this

55:46

music, this awful music. I

55:49

jokingly asked if he was too old

55:51

to still be into rap music, and he said

55:53

it's a cultural thing, and I wouldn't understand.

55:56

He may be right about that, but I

55:58

do know when something is offensive. How

56:01

can I get my husband to grow up and stop

56:03

being a disruptive neighbor? Neighbor?

56:05

Please help well

56:07

this letters, I don't know. It's a little

56:10

confusing to me because you

56:12

say you've known him for seven years, you've been married

56:14

to him for three, and he

56:17

listened to rap during your dating period,

56:20

and you did say you saw his edge

56:22

your side with the motorcycle. You said

56:24

he drank hennessy, he cursed with

56:26

his friends, but you said

56:28

you liked it at the time. You

56:30

did say that. Now it sounds

56:33

like since the quarantine, it's

56:35

a little different, and maybe it's gotten

56:37

a little worse. You say he's playing more

56:40

offensive more explicit lyrics

56:42

in his music. Now he stays

56:45

in the garage all day, all night.

56:48

He's drinking all the time now, whereas

56:50

before he was just drinking on

56:52

the weekends. So I'm trying

56:54

to figure out, what are you really upset about that

56:56

it's gotten worse Because you did

56:59

say you liked it at first, You have a lot to choose

57:01

from you. Are you mad about the music? Are

57:03

you mad about the fact that he's playing the music too

57:05

loud? Are you mad about him

57:07

being in the man cave all day? The hennessy,

57:11

I just think you're mad because

57:13

of all of these things, and especially because

57:16

the music is loud and it's offensive

57:18

to the neighbors. That's a good point, that is, Okay,

57:21

You've got to remind him. Remember back when

57:23

you guys were dating and he said that he didn't

57:25

want to scare you away because you are his

57:28

queen. Well, you know, you got to

57:30

remind him of that, and maybe he'll remember

57:33

saying those words to you. Maybe that'll click

57:36

something in his head or something so that he can turn

57:38

this music down. Loud music shouldn't

57:40

be played to the level where it disturbs the neighbors.

57:43

I don't think so while you're added, you could

57:45

tell him to, you know, ease up on the hennessy a little

57:47

bit too. Maybe that contributes to the loud

57:50

music, So you know, take him there and

57:52

see if he'll remember and turn it down.

57:54

Steve going in and said,

57:57

man, that hennessy not

58:02

why he drinking it? That

58:04

ain't the time y'all

58:07

to bring it up on the way from home

58:09

after choir rehearsal. Now

58:13

you met the man in the choir, y'all

58:16

singing. Y'all started

58:18

dating, you started seeing an edgy aside.

58:21

He wrote a motorcycle drink Hennis

58:23

in on the weekends. He cussed, when

58:25

he talks to you with friends, this is my dude,

58:28

man, you should this ain't one of my partners,

58:32

are you show? This

58:34

ain't walting Neil, He

58:38

cussed whenever he talked to his friend. It was different

58:41

from the church man, I mean, it's gonna be

58:43

different. Kirk Franklin taught

58:45

this to me when we were on two together, because

58:47

I was concerned about the church crowd not

58:50

being able to adjust to my jokes out He

58:54

said, Dog, your fans and

58:56

my fans, it's the same people. They

58:59

just went to different mask. So

59:02

the dude you meet at church, He

59:05

got that mask on and when

59:07

he get off, he put the other mask on. Now

59:10

he a motorcycle, hennessy riding,

59:14

cussing, hip hop loving,

59:17

fifty three year old dude. Now

59:21

you said, whenever we go

59:23

places in this car, he'd have his satellite radio

59:26

rap music and the lyrics

59:28

so officive that I asked him if he could turn

59:30

it off. He apologized that he never played

59:33

that type of music around me. Again. Well,

59:35

after we got married and got our first house,

59:38

he turned the garage into his man Kate. I

59:40

ain't mad at that. He didn't mess with none

59:42

of the house. He went out there

59:44

in that damn garage. All

59:47

he wanted to do is have a little place. So

59:50

now he go out there and he sit for hours

59:52

watching TV and listen to music. You

59:55

in the house cleaning, singing to

59:57

gospel music, to gospel

1:00:00

music and Volga hill

1:00:02

pop. Is not a good match, trying

1:00:04

to figure out what the I you want? I

1:00:06

want to go together crazy

1:00:12

and all of your friends. Wow,

1:00:17

my love the Lord, Wow

1:00:20

love the Lord. So

1:00:23

it's so hang

1:00:27

on, hang on, Steve. We'll have part

1:00:29

two of your response coming up at twenty

1:00:31

three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry

1:00:34

Letter subject my husband

1:00:36

switched from Hymns to Hennessey.

1:00:39

We'll get back into it right after this. You're

1:00:42

listening to Steve Harvey Morning

1:00:44

Show. All right, Steve, come on, let's

1:00:46

recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject

1:00:48

my husband switched from hymns to

1:00:51

Hennessey. Thirty nine year old

1:00:53

Latino woman match your fifty year old

1:00:56

man. They were together seven years, they've

1:00:58

been married three. They met at church. They both

1:01:00

sang in the choir. Started dating.

1:01:02

She saw a different side of it. He

1:01:04

wrote a motorcycle. He drank hit

1:01:07

it seeing it because when he talked to it friend,

1:01:09

I told him that was different than the man I met

1:01:11

at church. He said he didn't want to run me away

1:01:13

because I was his point. And you

1:01:15

go play seeing all this him anyway,

1:01:19

y'all got married in your first house. He

1:01:21

turned to garage into a man cave. Right.

1:01:24

He got that sitting for hours watching TV and

1:01:26

listen to music. I'll be in the house cleaning

1:01:28

up, cooking and singing along to Godspel

1:01:30

music when

1:01:33

we quarantined. He's staying the man

1:01:36

cave all day long. He played explicit rap.

1:01:41

How do you want it? How do

1:01:43

you want it? How

1:01:46

does it feel growing up

1:01:49

in the fast Ain't living in the Fast

1:01:51

man for real? I know,

1:01:53

Jesus, he

1:01:58

how do you want it? Jesus?

1:02:03

How does it feel? So?

1:02:10

I think y'all, bat, I think y'all on

1:02:12

a call Swiss beats and it's

1:02:14

gonna be you against your husband. In the weekend

1:02:17

of battle get marriage

1:02:20

and Blige and Gil Scott

1:02:22

and they had Teddy and baby

1:02:24

Face. I think it's time for you and your

1:02:26

husband. I was

1:02:29

Erica and Jail Yeah yeah, yeah,

1:02:32

Erica bad yeah all

1:02:34

right? So now, and

1:02:37

this rap music is very loud and

1:02:39

he SIPs his Hennessy. I

1:02:42

could hear through the all through the house, so I know he's a bad

1:02:44

neighbor. Jokingly asked her he was too old and

1:02:46

still being rap music. He said it

1:02:48

was a cultural thing. That's not true

1:02:51

and I wouldn't understand, but

1:02:54

I know music that's offensial. How can I get my

1:02:56

husband to grow up and stop being a disruptive

1:02:58

neighbor? Please? Hell, first

1:03:02

thing, you need to go out and shut that damn

1:03:04

garage though, to

1:03:08

get some of his head. See

1:03:11

his problem is he

1:03:13

listening to the music on the car radio

1:03:15

with the car running, and if he shut

1:03:17

that garage though, that's carbon monoxide.

1:03:20

You got to get him by him a bluetooth

1:03:24

speaker so he can cut that damn call and

1:03:27

let that damn doe down. That's what starts.

1:03:30

Secondly, I really don't have no answer for

1:03:32

you for this. You married the black dude here and the hip

1:03:35

hop he not fin to stop. You can't ask

1:03:37

a person not to enjoy the

1:03:39

music anymore. But

1:03:42

now, when you told him that the

1:03:44

neighbors would come by, he

1:03:47

had I wish you would moment, you

1:03:50

know, you know how you want somebody to come out,

1:03:53

come over, you know, And

1:03:57

I think that's about where he was at with him. So, lady,

1:03:59

he is a deal and

1:04:02

I know surely said that, but this he don't.

1:04:04

He don't care. He

1:04:08

is church

1:04:10

people disturbed the peace too. Shirt. I

1:04:14

can't tell you how many times I would be

1:04:17

sitting up on a Saturday morning enjoined

1:04:19

myself and then he didn't come. And

1:04:28

so you know, I've had a lot of times interrupted

1:04:30

by Christian people. So I understand your

1:04:32

problem interrupting people. I really

1:04:35

don't have no answer for this letter. I don't care.

1:04:38

You know you're not gonna leave your

1:04:40

man. He's not a bad husband. He

1:04:43

just got a man cave and he like loud music.

1:04:45

It's the quarantine too, that's

1:04:48

what it is, and the reason he's spent all that time

1:04:50

inside the garage because you own his last

1:04:53

damn ner nowhere else to go. It

1:04:56

ain't nowhere, man, So that's

1:05:00

we got nothing else for it? What

1:05:04

is he in there playing again? Before you

1:05:11

get Jesus?

1:05:16

All the things? I love? Mix

1:05:19

it Jesus. Yeah, how

1:05:21

are you wanting? How

1:05:24

does it feel? How

1:05:26

it feels like? Jesus? Whoa

1:05:29

my lord? Go

1:05:32

back, go back, go back? How

1:05:37

does it feel? How do you want

1:05:39

it? I'm not I

1:05:41

don't feel bad.

1:05:44

Plain living in the bad. That's

1:05:52

classic back and forth

1:05:54

man. Yeah, I'm telling you. Swiss beats all

1:05:56

to have them all DJ versus

1:06:03

church her church music gets his hip

1:06:05

hop. He gonna win now because the people is listening

1:06:08

to the challenge on switch Beats them. They

1:06:10

they young people think oh

1:06:14

yeah, yeah, that's

1:06:17

that's about it. That's about it. I think

1:06:19

he should turn it down, though, I do, because

1:06:21

he's disturbing the neighbors. If he could play it

1:06:24

whatever, but it shouldn't be that

1:06:26

loud. Surely

1:06:28

he ain't. She hasn't

1:06:31

asked him yet. All right, all

1:06:33

right, post

1:06:36

your comments on today's Strawberry Letter at Steve

1:06:38

Harvey FM, on Instagram and Facebook.

1:06:40

Can please don't forget to check probably that type of

1:06:43

black dude that if you go down and tell him

1:06:45

to turn it down, he's gonna get loud. It's

1:06:47

gonna crank it up. Yeah, don't

1:06:49

forget to check out the Strawberry Letter podcast on

1:06:52

demand coming up at forty six minutes after

1:06:54

the hour, We'll get serious and tell you about three

1:06:56

Wilmington police officers in North Carolina

1:06:59

that have been fired after a video

1:07:01

recording revealed extremely racist

1:07:03

comments. We'll talk about it right after

1:07:05

this. You're listening to this Dave

1:07:07

Harvey Morning Show. The three

1:07:10

cops from the Wilmington, North Carolina Police

1:07:12

Department, Jesse Moore, Kevin Piner,

1:07:14

and Brian Gilmore, were fired

1:07:17

for violating standards of conduct and

1:07:19

using inappropriate jokes and slurs.

1:07:21

The racist comments came to light during a monthly

1:07:24

inspection video audit in which

1:07:26

footage from Piner's patrol car was

1:07:28

reviewed, including conversations

1:07:30

between the officers while talking with

1:07:33

officers Gilmore and Piner. While

1:07:36

talking with Officer Gilmore, Piner began

1:07:38

criticizing the department, saying it's only

1:07:41

concern was kneeling down with the black

1:07:43

folks. Piner later expressed to More

1:07:45

that he feels a civil wars coming

1:07:48

and he plans to buy an assault rifle to

1:07:50

go out and start slaughtering them or

1:07:54

cuss word black people. He

1:07:57

added, I can't wait, God,

1:07:59

I can't wait. Pinter

1:08:02

also said civil war is necessary to

1:08:04

wipe them off. The cuss word

1:08:06

again, map, then I'll put

1:08:08

them back about that all to put them

1:08:10

back about four or five generations. Police

1:08:13

say the three officers admitted it was their voices

1:08:15

on the video recording and didn't

1:08:18

deny the content, but denied being racist.

1:08:21

Excuse me, but denied

1:08:23

being racist and blame the comments on the stress

1:08:25

of the job in wake of George Floyd's

1:08:27

killing and subsequent protests. What

1:08:30

no, that's in your heart? Come on, Steve, Yeah,

1:08:33

that makes no sense. And they said

1:08:35

the inWORD and a lot

1:08:38

of profanity. Yeah, it was. It

1:08:40

was bad, and the police chief took action. It's

1:08:43

amazing how but

1:08:46

that person tries to

1:08:49

play what they said and have

1:08:52

an excuse for it. For

1:08:55

you to say any of those things you're talking

1:08:57

about. They were tired enlightened

1:08:59

to Joe. This this is

1:09:01

before. Yeah, George

1:09:04

Floyd's George Floyd's

1:09:07

death made you

1:09:09

want to go out of buying an assault rifle

1:09:11

and start a civil war and

1:09:13

put them back in their place and

1:09:16

start slaughtering them, slaughtering

1:09:19

because of the protests. Yeah, I

1:09:21

can't wait, God, I can't wait. Stop stop,

1:09:24

I can't wait. Now, you can't wait to go kill

1:09:27

some man? Get out of him now

1:09:29

he pull a black person over. That's what we're dealing

1:09:31

with it. And

1:09:37

let me tell you something. I'm gonna stop saying it's only

1:09:39

a few because it's a bunch of them. Yeah, a

1:09:41

lot of right

1:09:44

here. See, it keeps happening too much

1:09:46

for it only a few. Now.

1:09:48

It's a lot of good cops out there, I tell

1:09:51

you that it is. But it's

1:09:53

way too damn many of them that ain't

1:09:55

right right now? Yeah, And

1:09:58

what can they say? It's on video,

1:10:01

it's on a recording that'll

1:10:04

put them back four or five generations.

1:10:06

What And

1:10:08

I believe the police chief was black African

1:10:10

American and he took action, all

1:10:13

right, coming up of the top trending

1:10:15

political news about the Democratic National Convention

1:10:18

at the top of the hour. We'll get into that right

1:10:20

after this you're listening to show

1:10:26

the Democratic National Committee has

1:10:28

officially scaled back its presidential

1:10:30

convention. The convention is scheduled for

1:10:32

August seventeen through the twentieth in Milwaukee,

1:10:35

and there will be events there every day,

1:10:38

but those events have been downsized

1:10:40

or in many cases, made remote. The

1:10:42

main convention will no longer happen at

1:10:45

the Fizzer Foreign for

1:10:47

A Marina, but in the much

1:10:49

smaller Milwaukee Center, and

1:10:52

state delegations are being told to plan

1:10:54

to stay home and cast their ballots remotely.

1:10:57

Other events will be broadcasts from satellite

1:10:59

cities, locations, and landmarks across

1:11:01

the country. However, Joe Biden

1:11:04

will still accept the nomination for president

1:11:06

in person in Milwaukee. Meanwhile,

1:11:09

the GOP still has plans to hold

1:11:11

a traditional convention in Jacksonville,

1:11:13

Florida, after moving it from Charlotte, North

1:11:15

Carolina, when that state said it would likely

1:11:18

take social distancing measures,

1:11:20

and you know our president is not going for that,

1:11:23

you know that, So he moved. Yeah,

1:11:26

so he moved the entire Republican convention

1:11:29

to Jacksonville, because

1:11:32

you don't care nothing about

1:11:34

these people. He's only concerned

1:11:36

about this win. Yes, yeah,

1:11:39

winning this winning in November. You're right,

1:11:42

and so it credible to him. We're on

1:11:44

in so many markets and so many cities

1:11:46

in Florida. If y'all don't get

1:11:49

out and vote, Yeah, y'all

1:11:52

got to get out and vote, and to help us

1:11:54

turn this thing around. We have to do

1:11:56

our part. We have to. We can't

1:11:59

just sit up here and come plane. We have to get

1:12:01

out and put some actions

1:12:03

with those words. Please. Yeah.

1:12:07

Did you see the president walking from

1:12:10

the Air Force Wantage. I seen him

1:12:12

walking across the lawn with his tie undone

1:12:15

and that defeated

1:12:21

hat in his hand. Yeah, oh my

1:12:23

god. Yeah,

1:12:26

they didn't whoop your hands to date. Yeah,

1:12:28

hed every bit of it. Yeah, from

1:12:35

Arizona, and it just looked like, Yeah.

1:12:38

I think he's greatly affected by the pole.

1:12:41

I think so too, even though he tries to pretend

1:12:44

like he's not. I think he is. Anything

1:12:46

that shows him behind or not in

1:12:49

a good light or you know, he's

1:12:51

petty like that, and he always wants to be on

1:12:54

top, and like you say, when so when

1:12:57

he's not, it takes a toll,

1:13:00

Junior. You want to say it with me, You about

1:13:02

to lose you about it's

1:13:07

over? That's

1:13:09

that defeat looking. I

1:13:11

thought, Man, I

1:13:14

just don't want us to get too comfortable because

1:13:16

I still have a long way to go. He is

1:13:18

a fighter and he will fight,

1:13:21

and we saw that. Yeah twenty sixteen,

1:13:23

we thought it was gonna go one way and

1:13:26

we were surprised and shocked. So you're right,

1:13:29

surely we're gonna keep going. He's

1:13:32

automatically gonna win, So you don't have to go

1:13:34

to the polls. No, that's all the more reason for you

1:13:36

to go to the polls and votes. Exactly.

1:13:39

I really do not see this guy

1:13:41

winning again. And

1:13:43

that's a hard statement to make because you know

1:13:45

how the Republican Party works in

1:13:48

the how and how they react.

1:13:50

But I'm just going to tell you I

1:13:54

think it's gonna be hard because I think if

1:13:56

we can keep the attitudes where they are,

1:13:58

they will turn it out to the polls. M.

1:14:02

We just got to keep pushing, get

1:14:05

through this summer, keep voting

1:14:08

in the primaries, doing what we gotta do. Yeah,

1:14:13

yeah, we have to right

1:14:15

at it to see more of Joe

1:14:17

Biden too. If we could you know, I

1:14:19

would, I would like to see more. He looks good,

1:14:22

though, Shirley. He's been looking better. Yeah.

1:14:24

Yeah, and when he first started, when

1:14:26

he first he looks a whole lot better. That's

1:14:28

good. That's what did you say? I like

1:14:30

what he said, even talking about the president and uh

1:14:33

not actually being a leader, leadership

1:14:36

what the country is lacking. Did you see

1:14:38

that, Steve, You're just whining.

1:14:41

Yeah, yeah, you're making it about you. You're

1:14:43

making it about you. I like what Biden

1:14:46

said too, when he said, we're fighting for the

1:14:48

very soul of this country. And

1:14:50

I feel like that, I really do. I

1:14:52

feel like we've lost, you know, a

1:14:55

lot under this presidency, we

1:14:57

really have of who we are and our strengths

1:15:00

and all of that. Yeah.

1:15:02

Anyway, we'll be back with more of

1:15:04

the Steve Harvey Morning Show right after this You're

1:15:07

1:15:14

and Iman Shumpert are

1:15:17

just three months away from welcoming

1:15:19

their new bundle of joy. She's revealing

1:15:21

more news about her birthing plans. Since she's

1:15:23

considering a home birth, Tianna has

1:15:26

um already enlisted the help

1:15:28

of none other than Steve Ericabadu

1:15:31

as her midwife. Oh, if

1:15:33

you didn't know. Ericabadou is also

1:15:36

known as Erica Badulla. She

1:15:39

has been delivering babies as a certified dula

1:15:41

since two thousand and one. Okay,

1:15:44

Eric, yes, yes, yes, yes,

1:15:48

She's assisted over forty mothers deliver

1:15:51

their babies safely. Erica says she loves

1:15:53

being a part of the welcome committee.

1:15:59

That I can't,

1:16:01

I can't be out there. That's

1:16:04

why I called a midwife. Not I

1:16:07

fell out, husband, I

1:16:10

saw her head. I fell out, Hell

1:16:13

at all. I'm sitting

1:16:15

1:16:24

wow, covers

1:16:29

as you're

1:16:33

so crazy? That is a miracle.

1:16:36

To push it back is too

1:16:38

much? Ain't

1:16:41

number God right there? Well? She was breathing,

1:16:43

Who who push it back? Cross?

1:16:46

All right? More of this craziness

1:16:49

on the Sea Hardy Show. And I'm training

1:16:51

new coming up in thirty three minutes after

1:16:53

the hour. Right after this, you're listening

1:16:56

Stry Morning Show. It

1:16:58

is time to ask the yello the Chief Love

1:17:01

Officer, Steve Harvey. This one's

1:17:03

from Millicent in New Orleans. She says, I'm

1:17:05

thirty years old and my dad came in

1:17:07

my life six years ago. My dad

1:17:09

was already married when my mom got pregnant

1:17:12

with me, so I grew up without him

1:17:14

in my life. I met his wife a

1:17:16

few months after I reconnected with him.

1:17:19

His wife explained how my dad kept

1:17:21

me as a secret for years because my

1:17:23

mom was a one night's stand after

1:17:26

he'd been drinking one night. I

1:17:28

was furious because my dad was with

1:17:31

my mom for four years

1:17:33

and they went on trips together, and he

1:17:35

was in the delivery room when I was born.

1:17:38

Should I show his wife the receipts? Or

1:17:41

should I let it go? Not ill

1:17:50

makes walks. She

1:17:52

wants to have a story to tell

1:17:55

that makes her feel adequate

1:17:57

for some reason, because to come and

1:17:59

meet young woman who hasn't had

1:18:01

a relationship with her father in twenty

1:18:04

four years, and that's the story

1:18:06

you want to tell. You were kept

1:18:08

a secret because you are one night stand.

1:18:11

I mean, come on, lady, what's what's your

1:18:13

purpose for trying to mess this young

1:18:15

lady's up relationship up like that? That's

1:18:18

foul within itself. Now,

1:18:20

with that being said, do

1:18:23

you return the foulness

1:18:26

that she put out? Too?

1:18:28

Wrong? So, I don't

1:18:30

think so. I think you should take the high

1:18:33

road. I think the important

1:18:35

thing for here is for you to have

1:18:37

for whatever relationship you can have with your

1:18:39

dad. Me and make a lot of mistakes.

1:18:41

I made mistakes as a young man myself.

1:18:44

Me and make mistakes and have

1:18:46

the right to get it right and recover. What

1:18:48

she didn't have the right to do was

1:18:51

coming here and bust your bubble with all that information

1:18:54

that she should have played the bigger woman. But

1:18:57

because she not a big woman, don't mean you shouldn't

1:19:00

be either. I think that God will keep you in

1:19:02

a better place if you take the high road

1:19:04

myself, That's what I would

1:19:07

suggest. But you know, if

1:19:09

you're one of them days and you're just feeling funky,

1:19:12

go ahead, go

1:19:14

ahead, you know what I'm saying. Good

1:19:16

advice, Steve. Thank you.

1:19:19

Yeah, Now I'll have for you. What's the one night

1:19:21

staying right? All

1:19:23

right? Moving on. This one's from

1:19:25

Verna in White Plains in New York. She says,

1:19:28

I've been married for fourteen years and

1:19:30

I love my husband dearly, but

1:19:32

he stinks. He's

1:19:34

in shape, he has a healthy diet,

1:19:37

but he smells like hot garbage.

1:19:40

He needs to take one of those allergy

1:19:42

exams, those that tells

1:19:45

you what your body is allergic to. It's

1:19:47

a test that you can take and you find

1:19:50

out if you your body doesn't respond

1:19:52

well. The gluten is something and it could be something

1:19:54

that's subscreting out of his body that just don't agree

1:19:56

with him, but he doing it anyway and the

1:19:59

way it comes out through his pores. Strength.

1:20:02

Coming up, it's our last break of the day,

1:20:04

the last break of the day.

1:20:07

1:21:26

thank you for that, ma'am. You're welcome

1:21:28

to you. Where

1:21:31

is the man? It's your turn,

1:21:33

mister. Back

1:21:37

and forth, baby, back and forth. Yeah,

1:21:43

oh m hmmm, I

1:21:46

don't know. You know, I've done so many closing

1:21:48

remarks over the past two

1:21:50

weeks. Man, let

1:21:53

me just say this in closing, you

1:22:00

know, I've changed a bit. I

1:22:05

was, you know, saying you

1:22:08

know that I supported

1:22:11

the protests and demonstrate, and I do

1:22:13

one thousand percent. I say

1:22:15

I don't support the burning and the looting,

1:22:18

but I understand it now

1:22:21

here. I've changed a little bit

1:22:24

because I'm watching at

1:22:27

at almost like a record

1:22:29

pace that keep coming

1:22:31

up with incidents of police doing

1:22:35

stuff to black people that we

1:22:37

weren't even aware of. Cases being reopened

1:22:40

and so forth and so on, and it's

1:22:42

just happening at alarming rate that a couple

1:22:44

of things have changed in

1:22:47

me as I watched with such high

1:22:49

hopes because so many non African

1:22:51

Americans out there protesting, I really think

1:22:54

something's gonna happen this time. I think

1:22:56

this is a turn. I just

1:22:58

think, man, that the way

1:23:00

this is playing out, that it's caused me to change

1:23:03

a little bit. I actually

1:23:07

used to say that there's

1:23:09

only a few bad policemen, but

1:23:11

that's not true anymore. It's

1:23:14

too many bad policemen. Now.

1:23:17

Are there good ones? Of course it is. Are

1:23:19

the straight and narrow one that's doing it

1:23:22

the right way? Of course there is. But

1:23:24

it ain't a few bad apples no more.

1:23:28

It's a bunch of bad apples. Man. It's

1:23:31

just a bunch. Because

1:23:33

just like they say in protests, if silences

1:23:36

consent, well,

1:23:39

isn't that true in the police department. And

1:23:42

I just think it's more than just a few bad

1:23:44

officers. I think it's a bunch, man. And

1:23:47

you can't keep hiding behind. I

1:23:50

feared for my life and I

1:23:52

felt threatened and in

1:23:55

the line of duty, and I

1:23:58

followed my training. You can stop that

1:24:01

your training is wrong. It's

1:24:04

been wrong. It's not enough

1:24:07

training. And the things that you

1:24:09

have been trained to do are the very

1:24:11

thing that kills the same people over

1:24:13

and over, or it's

1:24:16

your training directed at a

1:24:19

certain group of people because

1:24:21

all of your targets are black. I have noticed

1:24:23

that that every target they shoot that in the movies

1:24:26

on TV, it's black and they're

1:24:28

all kills shots. There's no training

1:24:31

or police how to take a person down. When

1:24:33

they do take a person down, it's a chokehold,

1:24:36

and how many of us got to die from that? Or

1:24:38

it's a knee and the neck and

1:24:41

how many got to die from that? So now here's

1:24:43

the deal. I do get the burning

1:24:45

and the looting. I get it because they're sick

1:24:48

and tired and if you're not gonna listen

1:24:50

to them, they got something for you. And these young

1:24:52

people serious this time. So I don't

1:24:54

condone it, but I do get it. Oh, I really

1:24:56

really do get it. And I don't want young

1:24:59

people out there getting arrested for what

1:25:01

they will then deem as breaking the law.

1:25:03

And once you break the law, then they get to go on

1:25:05

and do they think full

1:25:08

fledge what you did? But

1:25:12

I get it, and

1:25:14

I get that's too many bad police officers,

1:25:17

and I get that something has to change.

1:25:20

My suggestion and I'm still trying to find

1:25:22

out how to get this pushed is mandatory

1:25:25

police sensity, And that's

1:25:27

the only thing I can think. I don't have no other

1:25:30

solution. You know, of course I want

1:25:32

you to do bigger background checks and all like

1:25:34

this, But at the end of the day, listen,

1:25:38

we have some bad people that are police officers.

1:25:41

We have a line of thinking that's

1:25:43

allowed to get a badge, and

1:25:46

when they have this badge, they

1:25:49

oftentimes make decisions about whether

1:25:51

we live or die. And

1:25:54

the sad thing about the decisions that they make

1:25:56

about who lives or dies, it's

1:25:59

always the same color people that

1:26:01

die. It's the same

1:26:04

color all the time. They

1:26:06

ain't accidentally shot no white person.

1:26:09

They ain't kill no white sons.

1:26:11

They ain't kill no white man for sleeping

1:26:14

at a drive through. They ain't

1:26:16

kids had they knee on no white

1:26:18

man's neck till he died. They ain't shot

1:26:21

no white man because they thought he had a gun

1:26:23

when he was on the cell phone. They ain't shot no

1:26:25

twelve year old white kids for playing

1:26:27

with the gun and then did it in less

1:26:29

than fifteen seconds. They've never shot

1:26:32

a white kid for that. They

1:26:35

keep shooting black people though, And

1:26:38

I just think right now, we got to do something about this

1:26:40

training. We

1:26:44

gotta do something about a lot of things. Man. I'm

1:26:46

tired of talking about this, but I gotta keep my voice

1:26:48

out there because I really feel it. Those

1:26:51

are my closing remarks. Y'all

1:26:53

have a great weekend, even though I predict

1:26:55

your weekend will be a lot like Wednesday.

1:27:00

Let's a church say amen, Amen

1:27:03

again, y'all have a great weekend,
