1:58

come on your back at it? Uh,

2:03

come on and everybody you're listening to

2:05

the voice, come on dig and

2:07

na one and only Steve Harvey

2:10

got a radio show. I have

2:12

something and it's so describes

2:15

how I was living. It's

2:18

so captures the

2:21

feelings that I had

2:23

about beginning on the

2:25

pathway of my dreams. It's

2:27

so describes how

2:30

I felt when

2:32

I was about to attempt something. And

2:34

I have some striking news for you. It

2:37

describes often how I feel still

2:40

today to a degree. So

2:43

let me tell you what that is. And I know what's happened

2:45

to a lot of people. Here's

2:47

an analogy that

2:50

I um, I've heard

2:53

a couple of different ways, but

2:55

I've kind of, you know, fixed it around to

2:58

where I can, uh, didn't

3:00

it better? And I think it fits my

3:02

personality to describe it to people

3:04

best this way. You

3:07

know I was I was talking. I've

3:09

talked often about the urgency of

3:12

doing something with your life, of

3:16

of getting started today, of stopping

3:18

the procrastination and putting it off,

3:21

and waiting on all your ducks

3:23

to line up in a row, and waiting until

3:25

the stars aligned themselves.

3:27

If if you ain't on such a thing, you're you're

3:30

You're never gonna get started. I

3:33

don't really I don't know too many people who

3:35

can say that all the ducks just lined

3:38

up in a row. Things happen. Things

3:41

happen even when you get

3:43

them lined up. One of the ducks get out of line,

3:45

or somebody knock over the domino, or something

3:48

happens. But here's here's,

3:50

here's here's Here's the point I'm getting at. God

3:54

has so many

3:56

blessings available

4:00

to you, you

4:02

who's listening. God has

4:05

so many blessings available

4:07

to you from where you are right

4:10

now. I

4:12

don't care what you've gotten yourself

4:15

into or what you've done. God

4:17

has so many blessings that

4:20

he can send your way. But

4:23

you have to do something. See

4:26

a lot of people just sit around and go

4:28

man, I don't and something always

4:30

happening to you. You're always getting a break. You're

4:33

always doing this. You always do man, don't

4:35

nothing come my way. Listen to

4:37

me. If nothing ever comes

4:39

your way. You know why that is. It's because

4:41

you're not doing anything. I

4:44

promise you you're not. See.

4:47

Here's a deal. God has all these

4:49

blessings he wants to send you, but

4:51

you got to give him something to work with. Now,

4:54

come on, you have to give

4:57

God something to work with. God

5:00

will bless you. God can touch people's

5:02

hearts on your behalf. He can move

5:05

situations around for you. He

5:07

can align the stars. He can set the

5:09

ducks up in the road. But align

5:11

the stars and move people around, and touch

5:14

people's hearts and set the ducks up in the

5:16

road. For what based

5:18

on what have you

5:20

put forth? Any effort? Have you made a

5:23

single step in any direction

5:25

to do the right thing or go the right way?

5:28

That gives him something to put his finger

5:30

on. Come on, man,

5:34

God can only bless you according

5:36

to your faith. If you have

5:39

a little bit of faith, give him that, let him

5:41

work with that. He can do that. You

5:43

know, man, I didn't always start with these speeches

5:46

you're hear in the morning. Now. I ain't always had

5:48

these. I grew to these. I

5:51

stumbled my way to these. I

5:53

messed up my way to these.

5:55

Here. I got it wrong so many

5:58

times to be able to sound like I

6:00

got some sense. I

6:02

said it often. Failure is a wonderful

6:05

teacher. Do you know how

6:07

many times I have had to have failed

6:10

to have what I have in my head today. I'm

6:14

telling you, man, it's a process.

6:16

People get mad at the process. You

6:19

got to do something to

6:21

give God something to work with. He'll

6:23

bless you. But what you want me to bless if you ain't

6:26

putting forth any effort, any

6:28

effort, if you just

6:31

sit down and start. I got a book coming

6:33

out, I'm telling you, man, that's going to really

6:35

explain this thoroughly. Man, where

6:37

you can get blessed from whoever you are in

6:40

your life, wherever your starting point

6:42

is, wherever you find yourself wound

6:44

up, you can get you can

6:46

get it back from. Now. I've done it, man,

6:50

by the grace of God, I've done it. I I got

6:52

got over man. I learned some things

6:54

along the way. Because here's the deal. As

6:57

long as God keeps waking you up in the morning.

6:59

He with you. Yet when he's done, you're

7:01

done. But if God still has a plan

7:04

for you you wake up in the morning, He's still

7:06

got some more work for you to do. You wake up

7:08

in the morning. So if you keep waking up,

7:10

man, it's something that God wants from you, would

7:13

love to have from you. And he

7:15

can work with you, man, if you just walk

7:18

towards him a little bit. So

7:21

here's the deal. I know it's hard

7:23

for the average person to start because

7:26

the fear of the unknown is incredible. What

7:29

if I failed? What if I don't get picked? You

7:31

know, one of the hardest things I ever did

7:34

was walking in to quit my job. Oh

7:36

man, let me tell you about that day when I decided

7:39

that I was gonna be a full time comedian

7:42

after winning an amateur night one

7:44

time, quitting your job,

7:47

following your dream, going

7:50

forward despite all the nay says, it's

7:52

like stepping off a cliff. It's

7:55

like actually just walking off

7:57

the edge of a cliff. Who

8:00

being hoping now not

8:02

really knowing, but hoping,

8:06

hoping is the bad basis

8:08

of faith. I stepped

8:11

off that cliff hoping that

8:14

my parachute would open and

8:17

allow me to drift down. See,

8:20

I've never sky dived before, but I would

8:22

imagine part of the thrill. And I don't know

8:24

this because I'm not going to sky dive

8:27

to find out. I think

8:29

part of the thrill for people is the danger

8:32

part of throwing yourself out a plane and how

8:35

it feels to be free falling, but

8:38

the whole time they're free falling, having this

8:40

exhilarating, over the top moment,

8:44

you have got to believe in your heart

8:46

of hearts, you have got the hope

8:48

with everything in you that when you pull this cord

8:51

the shoot opens or else this

8:54

ain't a good move at all. But

8:57

you've packed your shoote yourself. You've

8:59

taken the essence. So you go ahead

9:01

and you make the leap. Now,

9:03

the only thing about quitting your job and following

9:06

your dream is you ain't really been trained

9:08

all that good for this, and you aren't really

9:10

You didn't pack your shoot, but you ain't never

9:13

opened it before. So I walked

9:15

off this cliff, That's what it was like. And you

9:17

following your dream is like you're walking off a cliff.

9:20

Now, let me tell you something. Here's

9:22

the part where people don't

9:25

never make the jump. They see somebody

9:27

like myself who jumped off the cliff

9:30

and the and and the passhute don't open right

9:32

away, and I hit a couple of rocks

9:34

on the way down. I got my back

9:36

cut up pretty bad. I got

9:38

my clothes ripped off. They

9:41

see that three years living in a

9:43

car, man, he got his life toe down jumping

9:45

off that cliff. I ain't jumping off that cliff.

9:48

But see what you don't understand is you

9:51

don't you don't know it. But

9:53

eventually the shoot will open,

9:56

and I'm at the parachute opening part of

9:58

my life, man, where the shoot

10:00

and open and I'm drifting and

10:03

I'm able to go over to Paris,

10:05

guide my shoote over to Paris and glide.

10:08

I've I've glided over to Africa and

10:10

seen what it looked like. It's a slow ride

10:12

down when the passhute finally open

10:15

or and my back then heel too, and

10:17

the cuts that I had on me, I remember

10:20

now I know how to stay away from the edge.

10:22

But the paraschute and opened, and

10:24

I'm enjoying my life for the first time.

10:27

I'm gliding, but I got hit up against

10:29

the rock. I can see more. I get

10:32

a chance to see more things. I get

10:34

to glide and see more parts of the world.

10:36

I'm living my dream. The pass SHOOTE

10:39

open. Your pass SHOOTE is going open. But

10:41

I'll tell you one thing for sure, it will

10:43

never open if you don't step off that cliff.

10:46

You got to step off that cliff, got

10:48

to get the pass SHOOTE open for you. But you

10:50

got to jump. Baby. That's the hard part,

10:52

ain't it not? Question? Is endo this story

10:55

right here today when you're jumping show

11:02

Thomas since your TV time. So so

34:19

far as a little pretty in black. It's

34:25

time for today headlines. Let's

34:27

go Gentation, Generation Generation,

34:33

and good morning everybody. This is a trip with the

34:35

news. Okay. Today is the day that Turkish

34:37

President Urdwan revealing the quote

34:39

naked truth about his country's investigation

34:42

to the apparent murder of dissident Saudi

34:44

journalist Jamal Kashoji. Today's

34:46

announcement coming two days after Saudi Arabia

34:49

came out with yet another excuse for Casoji's

34:51

death, first to Saudie's denied doing

34:53

anything. Then video surfaced about

34:55

what appears to be a Casoji bottled body

34:57

double walking out the back door of the embassy with

35:00

another man sole that look premeditated

35:02

to people, and Saudis then said, oh, well,

35:04

the columists accidentally died while being tortured,

35:07

and now the latest is that he died accidentally while

35:09

in a fist fight. Meanwhile, President Trump

35:11

says he's expecting some answers from our investigators.

35:15

The ground, Prince, we have

35:17

people over in Saudi Arabia. Now we

35:20

have top intelligence people in Turkey,

35:23

and we're going to see what we have. Let first,

35:25

we'll see what the Turks say. They said they have audio

35:28

and visual evidence of what they say was purely

35:30

a torture and a murder. With

35:33

the aerial photos showing thousands of Central Americans

35:35

walking through El Salvador, then Guatemalda

35:37

and Honduras and now attempting to push

35:39

their way into and through Mexico, President

35:42

Trump says his administration wants to slash

35:44

the aid given to those three countries because

35:46

they've done nothing. He says, to contain the marching

35:49

migrants, Slateblla, Honduras, Old

35:51

Salvador. They made a lot of money every

35:53

year we give him Farid aid and they

35:55

did nothing for us, nothing,

35:58

hundreds of millions of dollars. They,

36:01

like a lot of others, knew nothing for

36:03

our gun me. While Trump says he's alerted both

36:05

the military and the border patrol of Mexico,

36:08

by the way, says they're going to contain them, and they're not going to

36:10

get out of Mexico. In fact, they're gonna leave Mexico

36:13

all with only a couple of weeks before the midterm

36:15

elections. No surprise, Trump looks to make this situation

36:17

a campaign issue. In Georgia, an eighteen

36:20

year old man wanted the killing of a local police

36:22

officers shot and killed yesterday by other officers,

36:24

two days after cops launched a manhunt. Tafari

36:27

Minard killed when officers followed up on a

36:29

tip. Minard the prime suspect and the death

36:32

of thirty year old Gwynett County officer Antoine

36:34

Toni, who was responding to a report

36:36

of a suspicious vehicle park near a school. A

36:38

second suspect, nineteen oh Isaiah Prettlowe,

36:40

has been arrested charge of the aggravated assault

36:43

related to an incident which took place after Tony

36:45

was fatally shot. Customers of the

36:48

low cost airline Ryan Air not very happy

36:50

about how Ryan Near handle a racist passenger

36:52

in a recent flight out of Barcelona, Spain. According

36:54

to a video post to buy an appalled witness,

36:56

a white man ordered seventy seven year old black woman

36:59

sitting in I'll see to move and quickly

37:01

allow him to get to his window seat. According

37:03

to Huffington's post, the woman's daughter told the man

37:06

her mommy a little time because she had authoritis

37:08

and couldn't move very quickly. The woman

37:10

that immigrated from to England from the Jamaica

37:12

from Jamaica in the nineties sixties, and as she spoke

37:14

in her accent to the racist, he screams back,

37:16

don't talk to me in a foreign language, you stupid, ugly

37:19

cow. That man was not removed from

37:21

that flight. Believe it or not, this is finally something

37:23

that only woman could have used today National slap

37:25

39:56

pm, nine pm Central. Yes, Ready

39:59

to Love is hosted by our

40:02

very own Something we thought We'd

40:04

Never Heal, posted

40:07

by Thomas Miles better

40:10

known as Nephew Tommy, and it explores

40:12

romantic interactions of

40:15

grown black men and women in their

40:17

thirties and forties, and they are all looking

40:19

for love, taking away fellows. These

40:21

grown people. That's the difference. This is not youngsters.

40:24

These are grown people out there.

40:27

Maybe they've been married, maybe they got kids, whatever.

40:29

These are grown people who absolutely

40:31

know what they want. You know how it is when you are a little

40:33

bit older, you know what you want in a

40:36

relationship. It's different than when

40:38

you're in your twenties. You're trying to figure it out. You having y'all,

40:40

hang on, hang on because this is good. I'm gonna

40:42

bring y'all back with more. Don't go away, We got

40:45

more with Will Packer and the brand new

40:47

star of Ready to Love. That damn

40:49

Nephew Tommy. You're

40:52

listening to Steve Harvey Morning

40:54

Show. All right, Steve, please

40:56

welcome back, super Producer. I love calling

40:58

him super producer. Is that's exactly

41:01

what he is. Will Packers

41:03

here to tell us about the season premiere of Tommy's

41:05

new show, Ready to Love on Own.

41:08

Will pack them. Okay,

41:11

we put twenty singles, twenty

41:14

of the most eligible singles in

41:16

Atlanta. We put them all together. We

41:18

gave him to Tommy. We let

41:20

them start dating. Okay,

41:23

okay, okay, you put eligible

41:28

singles and

41:30

you gave him what Mr

41:33

park In.

41:36

We gave them to Tommy, and we

41:38

gave them to tom and we said, let's

41:40

see what happens. God and

41:43

Tommy took it from there, and everybody

41:46

doesn't make it to the end of the show. So

41:49

we see them dating and interacting. But the women

41:51

get to decide which of the men they

41:54

want to keep on the show. And

41:57

then the tables flip and the

41:59

men get to the side which of the women

42:01

they want to keep. So we narrow it down

42:04

until we have the final three couples.

42:07

Six people remain. So see,

42:09

just because you got a thing going with one person

42:11

doesn't mean that the other women or the other men

42:14

are feeling you. So it's interesting.

42:16

And here's the other thing. We got Tommy to go and after

42:19

after all the dates and after everything would

42:21

happen, Tommy would sit down with the

42:23

guys when the women aren't

42:25

around, and when I tell you, y'all,

42:29

nephew would go ham. He would

42:31

get these men. Listen, do not watch this show

42:34

unless you really really want to hear

42:36

what men are saying. We are not around. I'm gonna tell

42:38

you that right now in

42:43

your favorite place. We are in a cigar

42:45

bar, me and the guys, and we are

42:47

chopping it up and they are laying it all out

42:50

on the table. How they feel about

42:52

women, what they think, what they're feeling,

42:54

what they're not feeling. You get the whole. Okay,

42:56

So Tommy, so here's my question for you. While

42:59

you were aping this show, what what was

43:01

you What were you getting from the show? What

43:04

were you picking up or what?

43:07

When you pick the people watching what they'll pick

43:09

up? Women are going to

43:11

pick up how how they can

43:13

see the game that some men are trying

43:15

to run. They're gonna pick it up

43:17

easy, You're gonna be There's a lot of women. We have

43:20

twelve beautiful women on this show. And

43:22

what's gonna happen and you're gonna see ladies

43:24

are going to see themselves almost like Will Packer

43:27

once again, the girls Trip. Will when you saw a Girl's

43:29

trip, you saw which one of those ladies

43:31

you were, Ladies would see oh that's oh

43:33

my god, that's my girlfriend. Oh my god. When

43:35

you see these twelve, you're gonna

43:38

you're gonna see the one that you are, and you're gonna

43:40

see And these are some beautiful black women. They

43:42

are professional black women. We got. We got

43:45

ladies that are vice president

43:47

of banks. I mean, they are professional, they got

43:49

it going home and they are no

43:52

nonsense. With these guys, I'm

43:54

not hearing it. I've heard the game before.

43:56

Are you ready to love? And

43:58

you better be ready when you come in here. And

44:01

the thing is that, you know how a lot of women would

44:03

say, I don't know why I'm still single,

44:05

like I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing

44:07

wrong. I'm not sure what it is why I'm not connecting.

44:10

And so we actually delve into that. You

44:12

know, we did like an early screening of this, and women were

44:14

watching it, like Tommy said, they would say, oh,

44:16

I see myself in her, and I see

44:18

now I see what the guys are saying, Like

44:21

you know, they want a woman that strong but not too

44:23

strong, independent but

44:25

not too independent. Okay,

44:27

okay, so let me jump in here. So a woman

44:30

watching this show, we'll

44:33

learn two things. First

44:35

of all, how men really view them

44:38

with the spotlight that Tommy puts on

44:40

the men when you're talking about why

44:43

you want them out, what the game you run it. And

44:45

then a lot of women might can learn

44:48

from the mistakes of others by seeing themselves

44:51

in these other women. That's

44:55

why I'm the host of this show. All

45:01

right. Up next, we're gonna having some more fun with Will

45:03

Packer and nephew Tommy, and we'll

45:05

talk more about Tommy's new show, Ready to Love.

45:07

It's tonight on the Own channel ten

45:10

pm, nine Central. You're listening

45:12

to Steve Harvey Morning Show. Coming

45:16

up at the top of the hour. Read about four minutes

45:18

after it's today's Strawberry Letters subject.

45:21

All he cares about is being insta

45:23

famous. That's it. But

45:26

right now, yeah, right now, we got more

45:28

with super producer Will Packer in the building.

45:31

Uh, We've been talking with the superstar

45:35

producer, Will Packer and the new

45:37

star of al Ready to Love, Thomas

45:40

Miles. Very own nephew Tommy

45:43

Ready to Love is a show that explores

45:45

the romantic interactions of grown

45:47

black men and women in their thirties and forties

45:50

and they all looking for love. Well, we didn't put them

45:52

all in the same room. We didn't

45:54

find a way to eliminate them. It's very unique

45:56

way of eliminating calls girls, eliminate

45:59

me and me, and eliminate the women. These

46:01

are grown women with kids, that's

46:03

been married, that's looking for love, never

46:05

had it. They ain't got time for no foolishness.

46:10

And now when you ain't got time

46:12

for foolishness, what better

46:14

person to put in the equation?

46:18

Then damn game

46:22

recognized getting so

46:26

a fellas, let's go. The show is a

46:28

shot in Atlanta, Georgia. On this

46:30

show, you've got a lot of successful black men and

46:33

women that's out there looking for love in

46:35

Atlanta, which is a tough place I found for

46:37

women to found love because of the ratio

46:39

women to men, it's so high twenty

46:43

one man. How did you select participants

46:46

for the show? You know it was tough. I mean we went

46:48

through a very extensive

46:50

process because we had a lot of people that came

46:52

out. Once you say it's Oprah winfree

46:54

you know, the own network. You know, you got me

46:57

I'm casting for We put Tommy on. So

46:59

we had a lot of people that came out. We went

47:01

through rounds and rounds. I'm talking about

47:04

hundreds of people came out for this show. And

47:07

first of all, it was some crazy, so we had

47:09

to weed them out. We had

47:11

one dude, time is You're about to do? That was married

47:13

to tried to get on the show and he but

47:16

but I never met him about you're not gonna

47:18

meet him. But I had to make sure that we sent him home.

47:20

Look, he told this is a true story, Steve, I can't

47:23

make this up. He told his wife he was going

47:25

to the store and came to the

47:27

audition for Ready to Love, and

47:30

he was honest about it. He said, yeah,

47:32

but she cool with it. We said, brother, this

47:34

is for singles. We can't have you dog.

47:39

Your show is called Ready for Love. That's what I'm

47:43

literally I married the room personal.

47:46

I'm not getting at the house. Y'all

47:50

need me on this show. So

47:53

we had to weed them types out, you know. And

47:55

then we went and we made sure we had people that were

47:57

reasonably sane and and

48:00

it's you know what I like, It's a diverse mix

48:02

of people. You got every shape, you got every

48:04

shade, you got every career path. You

48:06

know what I mean. You got men at a very successful

48:09

with white. We got we gotta

48:11

pastor. We gotta pastor. We got a

48:13

pastor that got on the show. And his whole thing is

48:16

that he wants to wait for sex and

48:18

when he meets women, they don't want to hear that.

48:21

He think it's the other way around. Correct,

48:24

But he's a pastor and he's he

48:27

looking like his first lag. Yeah

48:32

it was pastor Chris Tommy. He probably forty

48:35

late late. You

48:39

say he never had said, he's saying right now.

48:42

He was waiting this because he got e d. If

48:49

you have erectile dysfunction, you can't

48:51

wait. You don't

48:53

have a choice. He

48:56

got a

48:59

pastor. He's trying to go buy the word for

49:01

his first lady. So yeah, we got

49:03

a good mix man. We got good mixing. Tommy.

49:05

Tommy ain't let him off the hook either. He

49:08

got me nervous a few times or some of the answers

49:10

and questions, and he was asking, because I'm

49:14

pressed them, will I pressed? What

49:16

you think about her lace front? I mean, it's just

49:18

you know, oh

49:21

he went. Let me say this,

49:23

I was Thomas Miles most of the time,

49:26

but nephew, Timmy kind of seeped out every

49:29

now when, which is what's gonna cause people to

49:31

tune. Yeah, it was

49:33

all these two separate people. Listen

49:36

before. I'm

49:39

a little nervous with both of my bosses on the land

49:42

right now. I'm nervous giving

49:45

out too much. And I'm

49:48

so supportive of this move. Yeah,

49:51

because I want him to have a TV

49:54

show. I've

49:56

always thought that he should be on TV.

49:58

Yeah. You know, we've looked at projects

50:00

and thought about it. Every project ever came

50:03

for him wasn't good. This is the first

50:05

time that he got a shot

50:07

at something. As long as

50:09

you don't put a light on his

50:12

light, y'all

50:14

gonna be on TV for years. That's

50:17

like a great show. I can't wait to watch

50:19

it. For love? Ready ready?

50:25

50:38

want to say also thank you to my uncle

50:40

50:43

this in front of me. At least I know how to go

50:45

out and and you know, I got to mold I

50:47

had something that I can grab onto that I can look

50:49

at and say, this is how you do it. After going

50:52

to your shows watching you man, I remember

50:54

when I was just trying to figure out how to heck you reading

50:56

this teleprompt like it's nothing.

50:59

51:01

51:06

awesome. You

51:10

didn't think it was, a matter

51:12

53:40

and hold on tighty. We got it for you. Here it is

53:43

Strawberry Letter. Okay, where

53:55

you come up with? How

53:58

about burlet's

54:02

it all

54:04

right? Here we go subject. All he cares

54:06

about is being insta famous. Dear

54:09

Stephen Shirley, I need some help with one of my closest

54:11

friends. He and I have known each other since middle

54:13

school, and he's always been a bit

54:16

lazy. He comes from a fairly privileged

54:18

background, and I believe that made

54:20

him feel entitled to certain things in

54:23

life without actually working for them.

54:25

We are in our early thirties now and he still

54:27

lives with his mother, works part time,

54:30

and never finished college. The majority

54:32

of his time and money is spent doing photo shoots

54:35

for Instagram because he seems to

54:37

be trying to brand himself as a socialite

54:39

or local celebrity. It's always

54:42

one get rich quick scheme after another

54:44

with him. Despite wasting

54:47

his cash on photo shoots, he's always

54:49

complaining that he's broke and often

54:51

needs to borrow cash from me and other

54:54

friends. This guy also does not drive,

54:56

so he always relies on his mom or me

54:58

and his friends for a ride. When

55:00

we criticize him, he calls us haters

55:03

and will say that we don't believe in his dreams.

55:06

We are too old for this mess and

55:08

it's time for him to have a real reality

55:11

check. How do we tell him that it's time

55:13

to get a real job, get stable,

55:15

and stop trying to be Instagram famous

55:18

as a man. I feel bad writing

55:20

this, but it's time for him to grow up or

55:22

we will continue to distance ourselves from

55:25

him. I need to know how to reach him. Please

55:27

help. Yeah, you stunned me with that last

55:29

couple of sentences. I did think this was from

55:32

a female friend. Yeah I did. Um

55:35

well, but as a friend, um,

55:37

all you can really do is tell your

55:40

entitled user friend

55:43

uh how you honestly feel and maybe

55:45

you know he'll hear you this time, But it's

55:48

highly unlikely because you said

55:50

you guys already says something to him, and he accused

55:52

you of hating and uh, not

55:57

believing in his dreams. I just thought

55:59

that line is funny. Uh.

56:01

So here's some advice to you

56:04

as your friend, as his friend, just back

56:06

away. Uh let him be. You

56:08

cannot change a person. You can only change

56:11

yourself. You've got to stop judging him. You gotta

56:13

stop judging what he does and what he spends

56:15

his money on. You gotta remove yourself

56:17

from all of that. Um. That's

56:20

called tough love. You know you you can be

56:22

there for him as a friend. But as far as all

56:24

the other stuff you're doing, like picking him up, stop

56:26

that, lending him money, Please

56:29

stop that. That's called enabling.

56:31

Okay, And isn't his mother already

56:34

doing such a great job of enabling

56:36

him. He's living with her, she gives

56:38

him rides. I'm sure she's taking

56:40

care of him and and you know other financial

56:43

ways and stuff like that. I agree with you. This

56:45

is a grown man we're talking about. It

56:47

is time for him to grow up. And one of

56:50

those ways is if you his

56:52

friend and his mom stop enabling

56:54

a grown man. Steve Um,

57:00

First of all, this

57:02

man wrote this, I thought it was a woman, but I can

57:04

Okay, it's cool if that ain't no problem. Hell

57:08

with my closest friend here and not known each

57:10

other since middle school. He

57:12

always been he's lazy, privileged

57:15

family, Uh

57:19

we in our early thirties. He

57:22

lives where his mama work

57:24

part time, ain't

57:26

finished college. The majority of his money

57:28

has been okay. First of all, I

57:32

didn't have no friends at thirty

57:36

that live with their mom, has said Reggie

57:38

Claude, Who was

57:40

that Reggie Claude? Dude

57:42

stayed downstreet from he lived

57:44

with his mom. I

57:46

didn't. I didn't understand that. But he worked.

57:53

Then you say spends all

57:56

his money doing photo shoots because

57:58

he seems to be trying hard to brand himself off

58:00

as a socialite or local celebrity.

58:03

Always got the rich cre daddy always

58:06

broke and he needs to broadcast from

58:08

me and other friends. This guy

58:10

also doesn't drive, so he lies

58:12

on his mama or me or free for

58:14

a ride. What celebrity

58:18

ain't got car money? Let's

58:22

just start there. You ain't even got to

58:25

be a celebrity to get a car. Most

58:27

of y'all listening to non celebrities and all

58:30

y'all have calls, but

58:32

he branded himself as a celebrity

58:35

without a car. You're

58:37

thirty years old and your mama giving

58:40

you rides places? What

58:44

this is? Crazy? Man? He

58:47

relies on his mom or me and friends

58:50

for a ride. I ain't got

58:52

no time to go pick up no thirty ye old dude. I

58:54

never had no time when I was thirty. I was

58:56

hustling so hard trying to make it. If

58:59

you call on me for a ride, I wasn't in town,

59:01

No damn way. When we criticize

59:04

him, he calls us, hate us, and

59:06

will say that we don't believe in his dreams. It ain't

59:08

your job to believe in his dream Like

59:11

Shirley said, take yourself off this hamster

59:13

will Why do you have to believe

59:15

in these dreams? What dream? He

59:18

stayed at the house with his mom, and he getting

59:20

rides from his mama and his friends, and he worked

59:23

part time and he's trying to be Instagram

59:25

famous? What dreams? You

59:29

said? We are too old for this mess.

59:33

I ain't mad at you, bro. How

59:36

do we tell him it's time to get a real job, get

59:38

stable, and stop trying to be Instagram famous?

59:40

This is how you do it. You say, look, man, it's

59:43

time to get a real job, get

59:45

stable, and stop trying to be Instagram

59:48

famous. You said, just like

59:50

you're typed. He's saying,

59:52

I, as a man, I feel bad righting

59:54

this. I ain't mad at you, dog, I know, but you're trying

59:56

to get something help because you had wits and you're thinking maybe

59:59

Steve got some for you. I got something for you. But

1:00:02

it's time for him to grow up or we

1:00:04

will continue to distance ourselves from

1:00:07

him. I need to know how to reach him.

1:00:09

See this is actually a concerned friend. He's

1:00:13

actually trying to reach him. But

1:00:16

the best way to reach a dude like this man

1:00:20

is he's one of them people that thinks

1:00:22

he's always right. He's

1:00:25

one of them people that don't see no wrong in

1:00:27

none of his decisions. But

1:00:30

all of his decisions have

1:00:32

resulted in something

1:00:36

that's not up to Paul. With the

1:00:38

friends that he grew up with, that's all in

1:00:40

your thirties. So when we come

1:00:43

back, Jay

1:00:46

is gonna be the friend that's

1:00:48

trying to talk to me. The dead

1:00:51

be I'm the dude in the

1:00:53

letter, and Jay is the dude write in the

1:00:55

letter, and Jay is gonna

1:00:57

try to reach me when we come back. I'm

1:01:00

tell you how it was wrong. All right? Part two of Steve's response

1:01:02

coming up at twenty three. After all he cares

1:01:04

about is being inst the famous. Right after

1:01:06

this, you're listening to show,

1:01:10

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

1:01:12

Strawberry letter. All he cares about is being

1:01:15

insta famous. It's a dude

1:01:17

that's got a friend in their thirties. He

1:01:19

lazy, come from a privileged

1:01:21

background. He works part

1:01:23

time, level with his mama, don't

1:01:26

have a car, never finished college

1:01:29

here all his money spent doing photo shoots

1:01:31

on Instagram because he's trying

1:01:33

to brand himself as a socialite or local

1:01:35

celebrity. He doesn't have a car, and

1:01:38

when his friends try to talk to him about it, when

1:01:40

they criticize him, he calls him haters and

1:01:43

say they don't believe in his dreams. We're

1:01:46

too old for this mess. The writer of the

1:01:48

letter says it's time for him

1:01:50

to have a reality check. How do we tell him

1:01:52

it's time to get a real job, get stable, stop

1:01:55

trying to be Instagram family? And then the man

1:01:57

said, as a man, I feel

1:01:59

bad right this, but it's

1:02:01

time for him to grow up, and we will continue to distance

1:02:03

ourselves from you. I need to know how to

1:02:05

reach him. Please help Jay.

1:02:09

It's gonna try to reach him. I

1:02:12

am gonna show you what

1:06:42

not trying to crush the dream. No, you you ask

1:06:44

1:08:06

That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letter and the

1:08:08

re enactment at Steve Harvey f M.

1:08:10

Coming up in about ten minutes, we're gonna talk about

1:08:13

the mid term elections and Trump in

1:08:15

Houston, Texas. Oh

1:08:17

boy. Right after this, you're listening

1:08:20

to the Steve Harvey Morning Show in

1:08:23

about fifteen days, guys, it's the

1:08:25

mid term election there. On Tuesday,

1:08:27

November six, President Trump

1:08:29

was in Houston, UH speaking at

1:08:31

a Make America Great Again rally at

1:08:33

the Toyota Center in Houston. The

1:08:36

President encouraged rally goers to vote

1:08:38

for Senator Ted Cruise instead

1:08:41

of course of the Democrat Beto O'Rourke.

1:08:44

Remember during the two thousand sixteen campaign,

1:08:46

we all remember this when Trump called

1:08:49

Ted Cruise lying Ted. But now

1:08:51

the President has new nicknames for

1:08:53

Ted Cruise. Take a listen, no

1:08:56

longer lying ted lyon

1:09:00

what did he? Beautiful Texas?

1:09:02

I called Texas den Ted

1:09:04

Ted Cruise, and I had a very

1:09:07

very nasty, a tough

1:09:09

campet. It was a very competitive, was a very

1:09:11

healthcare head Uh. Once

1:09:14

it ended and we got together

1:09:16

and by the way, very late into

1:09:18

the campaign, we last people were shocked.

1:09:21

I said, no't worry, it's only as words of the sun. And

1:09:23

then ultimately what happened, we boarded

1:09:25

out. The outcome

1:09:28

was obvious, and we

1:09:30

have worked together very closely. I like him a lot.

1:09:32

I actually like him a lot, and he's a very smart

1:09:35

guy. He loves the people of Texas,

1:09:37

which I do you

1:09:40

talk about wife and beautiful

1:09:43

Ted Texas? Ted, you heard

1:09:45

it. If you don't stand up for your wife and your daddy,

1:09:48

who do you stand up? Man? I

1:09:53

can assure you his wife it's

1:09:56

going, Wow, really, honey, that's

1:10:00

the re enactment right now, because

1:10:04

it's just so, I don't have any respect

1:10:06

for ted Cus because he let

1:10:09

this man just dog his wife and his father,

1:10:11

and he said publicly I would

1:10:14

never support a man like him to

1:10:16

be president United States. The

1:10:20

power is with us we you know, especially

1:10:22

for our in Texas. We have

1:10:25

to get out and make a huge showing

1:10:27

in the November election. We have to do it. I

1:10:31

voted yesterday morning, right

1:10:34

yeah, I went to

1:10:37

Atlanta and voted. Go

1:10:39

ahead, it's

1:10:41

ices I

1:10:44

voted. Man. I can't take any

1:10:46

chances, you know. And let me say this about

1:10:48

voting. Stop looking at

1:10:50

my Instagram page thinking

1:10:54

that I vote for Donald Trump. Y'all

1:10:56

got me twisted. Now. Anybody

1:10:59

that really know ols me and listens to the show,

1:11:01

no good in hell. Well, I'm

1:11:03

not a Trump supporter. That

1:11:06

that ain't what that was, man. That

1:11:09

was a meeting, A damn meeting

1:11:13

supporter or tromp man.

1:11:16

I'm trying to get somebody up in there, man, where we

1:11:18

can make a difference. I need this guy in

1:11:20

Florida. Gilliam and

1:11:24

I watched the debate on even said we need to get

1:11:26

him and we need to Stacy Abraham's

1:11:28

in in George. What's

1:11:31

the boy in Texas? Better

1:11:35

old? We need him? Were

1:11:37

running against Cruise as a matter of fact.

1:11:39

Yeah, and listen, man, we gotta get some

1:11:42

Democrats in the House and the Senate

1:11:45

so we can balance this thing out because

1:11:47

they're just running rough shod man, and

1:11:49

this thing is getting ugly. Man. And the

1:11:51

and the poor Republicans that are voting

1:11:54

read because they think they're talking

1:11:56

about them. They ain't talking about you. You're

1:11:58

all gonna be hurt. And we how to be extra

1:12:00

careful because they're lying. They're

1:12:03

saying they want to uphold pre existing

1:12:06

conditions. No, they don't. They

1:12:08

are still trying desperately

1:12:11

to get rid of more and more segments

1:12:13

of Obamacare. And if

1:12:16

you don't think those pre existing conditions

1:12:18

are one of them, that's a huge thing

1:12:20

that they wan't done away with. They are lying

1:12:23

saying that they want to keep pre existing

1:12:25

conditions. They can't with the proposals

1:12:28

that they're putting forth about Obamacare.

1:12:31

They want to get rid of that because they consider

1:12:33

that an entitlement. Yeah.

1:12:36

Yeah, and I mean to everyone,

1:12:39

black women, you did it in Alabama.

1:12:42

Uh, we can do Yes, we can

1:12:44

do this. We can really really do this if

1:12:47

all we have to do is show up at the polls

1:12:49

and cast our votes absentee voting,

1:12:51

however you want to do it, I recommend

1:12:53

early voting like you did, Steve. We'll

1:12:55

get it done early. Don't wait till

1:12:57

the last starts today because

1:13:00

a lot of states today yesterday

1:13:03

was the last day to register to vote. So

1:13:06

yeah, you can do it now, go on in there. We

1:13:08

have enough registered voters

1:13:11

to turn this thing around and

1:13:13

make a difference. But you have got to

1:13:16

vote democratic to create a

1:13:18

balance. The symbol for this

1:13:20

country is the golden eagle,

1:13:23

and eagle can only fly correctly

1:13:26

with the left wing and the right wing

1:13:28

and right now this eagle

1:13:31

has too many right wings on it

1:13:35

and can not fly correctly.

1:13:38

That was some deepness right there, sir. They

1:13:40

can't do it. They

1:13:44

have You can't. An

1:13:46

eagle can't fly correct without the left

1:13:48

and the right right wing. You got too

1:13:50

much right wing going on. Now. That's

1:13:53

the imbalance of this country, and that's

1:13:55

what's going on. And then we got people like Kanye

1:13:58

who goes up there who does not understand

1:14:01

history. Listen to me, Kanye

1:14:04

is a cool dude. Man one

1:14:06

on one. He is really a cool dude.

1:14:09

He does not understand history.

1:14:12

You can't say, as an African American

1:14:15

man, let's make America great

1:14:17

again. And you can tell me what

1:15:00

we do alright. Coming up at the top of

1:15:02

the hour, we're gonna talk about Ray Carruth.

1:15:04

Former NFL player Ray Carruth

1:15:07

was released from prison on Monday,

1:15:10

and we'll talk about it. It's been a while.

1:15:12

Right after this, you're listening to

1:15:15

the Steve Harvey Show. Ray

1:15:17

Carruth. We all remember him as a former

1:15:20

Carolina Panther uh

1:15:22

he was their wide receiver. He was convicted

1:15:24

back in two thousand one of

1:15:27

conspiracy in the nineteen

1:15:29

ninety nine shooting death of his pregnant

1:15:31

girlfriend. Uh Well Ray Caruth

1:15:34

was released from prison yesterday

1:15:36

morning. That was Monday morning.

1:15:38

The former first

1:15:41

round draft pick from the University

1:15:43

of Colorado, he played parts of

1:15:45

three seasons in the NFL. UH

1:15:47

in November of pregnant

1:15:49

girlfriend, her name was Sharika Adams. She

1:15:52

was shot four times in her

1:15:54

car by an associate

1:15:56

of Caruth. She died a

1:15:59

month later. Her wounds and

1:16:01

the baby survived, but

1:16:04

suffered permanent brain damage.

1:16:07

He has cerebral palsy. Um Karuth

1:16:09

was convicted of hiring his friend to murder

1:16:12

Adams and was sentenced to a minimum

1:16:14

of eighteen years and eleven months in

1:16:17

prison. Well, as I mentioned, yesterday

1:16:20

morning, uh Kruth walked out

1:16:22

of the Samson Correctional Institution in

1:16:24

Clinton, North Carolina, and the shooter

1:16:26

meanwhile is serving a minimum

1:16:29

of forty years eighteen

1:16:32

years eleven months in prison. Steve,

1:16:34

Well enough, Yeah, what do you all

1:16:37

think? I'm in total agreement,

1:16:39

Carla. Not long enough. I think he should have served

1:16:42

more time, uh ka,

1:16:46

yeah, and the yeah

1:16:49

Sharika died uh

1:16:52

and the baby brain damage. I

1:16:55

don't think you should be allowed to be

1:16:58

in this child's life. I don't

1:17:01

from from what you did, because you you you

1:17:03

basically tried to take you, your girl and the baby

1:17:05

out. You try to take them out and

1:17:08

fortunately the baby survive. You want to now get

1:17:10

out and be a part of this because there's a report

1:17:12

that he wants to be involved in the child's

1:17:14

life. I don't, I

1:17:18

said, so there's a report that he wants

1:17:20

to be involved in the child's life. Yea,

1:17:24

yeah, you know. I'm you

1:17:27

know, listening to you all. You've sort of changed

1:17:30

my mind because I

1:17:32

was thinking, you know, if a person does their time

1:17:35

then and they complete their sentence, then you

1:17:38

gotta get your knee up off their neck and let them

1:17:40

go live their life. But after

1:17:42

listening to you all, I kind of I

1:17:45

can understand it, because man, if

1:17:48

the shooter gets forty, you were the reason

1:17:51

you were to do with the money, yeah

1:17:54

you know, and the means, and you don't want to bought

1:17:56

the idea whole, the

1:17:58

whole purpose. I mean to ferition

1:18:01

Without you, this girl is still living,

1:18:03

living, you know, so it's

1:18:06

it's difficult then for the family

1:18:09

of the young lady, the

1:18:11

suffering to endure, to have to

1:18:13

deal with the fact that you're now out and free.

1:18:16

I do not understand him

1:18:19

wanting to be a part of the child's

1:18:21

life, thank you, that's what. And Tommy's

1:18:24

right about that, because how

1:18:27

do you let him be a part of that? But

1:18:29

the court system, when you talk about

1:18:32

child abuse, you had

1:18:35

the boy's mother killed, yes,

1:18:38

and you were damaged and you've

1:18:41

ruined, You've created a disability

1:18:43

in this young man that he has to live

1:18:46

with the rest of his life. Did

1:18:49

Ray Caruth try to maintain his innocence

1:18:51

and all of this? I believe

1:18:54

you did. You

1:18:57

can confess Actually

1:19:00

yeah, initially clean

1:19:03

cut going to court. Didn't know we

1:19:05

talked about until the guy testified to say it that Ray

1:19:07

told me to do. Yeah. Mm

1:19:09

hmmm. Ray

1:19:14

lied until he couldn't lie no more. Yeah. Yeah.

1:19:16

The son's name is a chancellor and

1:19:19

uh if Chancellor Adams.

1:19:21

And if you look at him, everyone says he looks just

1:19:24

like Ray carew But

1:19:27

all because you had one thought that you didn't

1:19:29

want to be a father, yeah, man with

1:19:33

her. Yeah, he didn't want to be with her. It

1:19:36

wasn't that he didn't want to lose his money. It was about

1:19:38

money. Yeah. Yeah,

1:19:41

the circumstances surrounding that case

1:19:43

were just horrible. And

1:19:47

and I do think he should have spent a lot more

1:19:49

time. He should be injured.

1:19:52

Yeah, he should have because he was. It's

1:19:55

horrible, man, because this

1:19:58

family has us, their

1:20:00

daughter, their sister, you

1:20:02

know, their cousin. They aren't you

1:20:05

know, this boy never will see

1:20:07

his mother and Ray

1:20:10

Caruth. This was a really

1:20:13

ugly act. But

1:20:16

he's cowardly, oh

1:20:18

man, cowardly on So

1:20:21

you know, Normally, what you try to say

1:20:24

is a person do their time, they

1:20:27

get out, They deserve a second chance.

1:20:30

That's what you try to say about any

1:20:32

convict because we could. We can't just

1:20:34

throw people away. People

1:20:36

make mistakes. This when

1:20:39

right here is uh a

1:20:41

little it's different, man, because

1:20:44

of the suffering that still continues. Somebody's

1:20:46

got to take care of the child. That's

1:20:50

tough when they have when

1:20:52

you have disabled family members, it's

1:20:54

not only the person that's disabled

1:20:56

that has to make certain concessions and

1:20:59

things. Family members have to

1:21:01

make adjustments too. Yeah, and

1:21:03

we're very difficult to raise a special needs

1:21:06

child that it's hard

1:21:08

to or a healthy child

1:21:11

now you got a special needs You're exactly right,

1:21:13

Carl. It it's tough for these

1:21:15

families. It's so much

1:21:17

more that comes with you. Yeah,

1:21:20

and especially that didn't have to be. It

1:21:22

was because of him, you know. And remember

1:21:25

didn't they find him in the trunk or something?

1:21:27

He was hiding out? That's what he find Yeah,

1:21:30

I'm talking about Ray k Ruth. Now you

1:21:32

know what's crazy morning? Yeah,

1:21:35

Innocent people don't hide. I was writing,

1:21:37

I remember writing a joke about

1:21:40

him. I remember that I

1:21:43

wrote a joke about this guy hiding

1:21:46

it, how he thought he was gonna get away with this, and

1:21:49

I you know, I've forgotten all about the joke.

1:21:52

He gets out today yesterday

1:21:55

morning. Man. Do you know how much living we've

1:21:57

You know, I'm saying l A don juice.

Bobby Brown wanted to pimp. He was a food

1:28:38

1:29:16

team. They're gonna be hitting. They need

1:29:18

to. Whenever they're throw it, man, they take two damn

1:29:20

long only rubbing on their head and wiping

1:29:23

their head on their ass, throwing

1:29:28

the ball over the first and shaking their

1:29:30

1:29:55

these rabbit boots. I

1:30:00

hate to cut you off. We'll

1:30:02

be closing remarks right after this.

1:30:07

You're listening to show

1:30:10

here we are Steve, last break of the day.

1:30:13

It is time for your closing remarks. It's

1:30:15

been a good day. My

1:30:19

own closing remarks

1:30:21

Today it's

1:30:23

gonna be advice to

1:30:26

my nephew. I

1:30:28

want to talk to you man okay,

1:30:31

about your TV career and

1:30:34

tell you some things I've learned and discovered

1:30:36

along the way that might be helpful

1:30:38

to you as you venture on this brand

1:30:41

new journey. Um.

1:30:45

The amazing thing is, and not to

1:30:47

use it as a negative, but to

1:30:49

eventually use what I'm about to say as

1:30:51

a positive, is that the price

1:30:54

for fame has gotten

1:30:56

too high now hm, because

1:31:00

is of the use of social media, the

1:31:04

Internet, Facebook,

1:31:07

Facebook, Live, Instagram,

1:31:10

Twitter, blogs,

1:31:15

TMZ, the shade rule,

1:31:17

media, takeout, radar,

1:31:21

inquire, all of it. Uh.

1:31:25

I'm gonna use this as a warning but

1:31:28

also as a blessing. None

1:31:32

of those things got you where

1:31:34

you are, and none

1:31:36

of those things can remove you from

1:31:39

where you are. But

1:31:41

you do have to be aware of

1:31:44

it all because

1:31:46

it's amazing how on your way

1:31:48

up, how they cheer for you, and

1:31:51

then when they see you get there, they

1:31:54

cheer for you, they congratulate

1:31:57

you. But after you had made

1:31:59

it, it's an amazing things.

1:32:02

Nothing left for them to do but tear you down.

1:32:05

And it is amazing how they go about

1:32:08

it. But they can

1:32:10

only accomplish it if

1:32:12

you lend yourself to it. So

1:32:16

remember, the people who have opinions of

1:32:18

you now, they

1:32:20

didn't know you back when, before

1:32:23

you got on TV. They knew nothing about your

1:32:25

struggles, your hardships, your wants,

1:32:27

your disappointments, all the times

1:32:30

you were hoping that you could be somewhere

1:32:32

that you didn't, all the times you shot

1:32:34

for shows and you missed it. They

1:32:36

don't know. But now all

1:32:38

of a sudden, you're there. And

1:32:41

it reminds me of a quote that

1:32:43

I saw on Jamie Fox's page one

1:32:45

time. He said, most

1:32:48

people hate you because

1:32:50

of how many people love you, and

1:32:55

that right there alone,

1:32:59

it is what you have to be aware of that

1:33:02

simply. The hate is

1:33:05

usually because of the love. But

1:33:08

you gotta take your focus time and you got to put

1:33:10

it on the love. You

1:33:12

just have to put it on the love, man, because

1:33:15

the hate is sold. Man.

1:33:18

They're nasty with it, man, they just are.

1:33:21

But you will be fine because the God

1:33:24

that got you where you are, it's

1:33:26

the God of sustaining, the

1:33:28

God above left to God of protection,

1:33:31

the God of Isaiah seventeen

1:33:34

that nowhere performed to gives you shall prosper.

1:33:38

I have used that scripture so many

1:33:40

times. You all are probably well

1:33:42

aware of the hate

1:33:45

that has been coming my way. It

1:33:47

has just been alarming. But

1:33:50

none of them, not one

1:33:52

single strand of it, has stopped

1:33:55

one single blessing that God

1:33:57

had for me. I

1:34:00

keep my haters in my classroom. M

1:34:03

All they can do is watch and learn. Watch

1:34:07

and learn. I tried desperately

1:34:09

not to get off the wall to address

1:34:11

them, because they're coming, and

1:34:13

after tonight they'll start showing

1:34:15

up. It'll be amazing. Man, you're gonna have

1:34:17

a great showing tonight. But don't

1:34:19

worry about the ones where he wasn't all that to

1:34:22

me, and he didn't seem like he did this

1:34:24

to me. Don't worry about them. The

1:34:27

credit belongs to the man who is actually

1:34:30

in the arena, whose face is

1:34:32

marked with dust, blood, sweating

1:34:34

tears, not to those cold

1:34:37

and timid souls in the stands who

1:34:39

know neither victory nor defeat.

1:34:43

They're just up there bowing. But they ain't never been in

1:34:45

the arena before. They

1:34:48

in the stands talking about you, and they ain't

1:34:50

never been under the lights. They

1:34:54

in their booing for you, and they

1:34:56

ain't ever been cheered for. It's

1:35:00

an amazing man,

1:35:06

that's how they do it. So

1:35:09

since they've never been cheered for,

1:35:12

don't let the booing bother you. Since

1:35:15

they've never been in the arena, since

1:35:17

they face has never been marred with dust,

1:35:20

blood, sweat, or tears, they

1:35:23

are merely cold and timid

1:35:25

souls who know neither victory

1:35:28

nor defeat. They don't

1:35:30

know what it is to win or to lose because

1:35:32

they've never even tried nothing before. So

1:35:35

why would you be affected by someone who

1:35:37

has not tried? And

1:35:39

all they're talking about is your efforts. See,

1:35:43

people who are putting forth an effort don't

1:35:46

have time to slam other people's

1:35:48

efforts because they're too busy performing

1:35:51

their own effort. I don't

1:35:53

have time to look over there and see how green

1:35:55

your grass is, because I'm trying to fertilize

1:35:58

water and cutting shop and mind. So

1:36:03

the journey has begun. But along with the

1:36:05

journey comes to other part. But

1:36:08

your faith in God. The same God that got

1:36:11

you here. It's the same God that's

1:36:13

gonna sustain the same God

1:36:15

that got you here. It's the same God

1:36:17

that's gonna take you further. And

1:36:20

now that I'm saying this to Tommy, looks like

1:36:22

I ain't just talking to Tommy, looks

1:36:25

like I'm talking to everybody out there and listening.

1:36:28

Because everybody didn't experience

1:36:31

some form of hate in their life. But

1:36:34

normally they only hate

1:36:36

you because so many people

1:36:39

love you. Keep on doing

1:36:41

what you're doing. Congratulations man,

1:36:44

don't forget to pray man,

1:36:46
