Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving the move like the moking buck bus things. And it's cos me true good Steve has listening to move together for Stubby, I don't join joining me. Have you gotta use turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out, got to turn out to turn the water the water. Come come on your baby dad, uh huh. I'll show with a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay. I want to share something with you that I had to come to the realization one time and even in the reinvention of myself right now, I've had to come to that and I want to share it with you today. Give it to you. I want to tell you about something that a lot of people do in their life and I want you to be aware of it. Here it is, don't get stuck on yourself. You could be wrong. You know I said don't get stuck on yourself. You could be wrong. You know. The reason I'm saying this is because people have a tendency to once they make a decision about something, or once they decide to go a certain path, they go against all everything, anything anybody says, anything anybody might do, any other ruling they may come across. They shun advice, They don't listen to counsel. They just I made the decision. I'm gonna do it anyway. Don't get stuck on yourself. You could be wrong, you know. Now here's a sure fire way to tell if you're wrong. If you don't see any movement in the direction you've chosen, if you don't see anything going right in that decision, if you feel as though you're interrupt if the wall you're climbing seems so insurmountable that you ain't even moving an inch, and every time you turn around you keep getting knocked by down, knocked back down. Don't get stuck on yourself. You know you could be wrong. You know. See, that's why it's important for people to always be open to the reinvention of yourself. You know, you cannot be afraid to reinvent yourself. In other words, you can't be afraid to change. Change is necessary when it comes to growth. There is no growth without change. The more you know, the older you look, that is no growth without change. If you're heading in a direction, it ain't nothing going right in your life. It be the wrong direction. If you're climbing and you're making no headway, could it be the wrong direction? Could you have possibly made the wrong choice. Don't get stuck on yourself because you didn't made the wrong self. It's okay to forgive yourself. It's okay to let yourself off the hook. It's even smarter sometimes to admit that you were wrong. You ever met somebody ain't ever wrong. Have you ever met somebody you talk to? They ain't ever wrong about nothing. Man, They just it's they way or the highway. It's this is my way, this is the I know people like that, stuck on them powered trips and all like that. You know what I had to learn how to do. I had to learn how to let them go on them powered trips. But listen to this. Though you're not taking me on that trip. Though you're going on that trip by yourself, I'm going in the right direction. I've decided to stop the way. Okay, listen to this person. This person, I decided to stop doing business the way I was doing business. I decided to stop to allow business being done around me the way business was being done around me. You know what, you know, the best decision I made was to allow for God to have some say so and to offer me his direction. I have found him to be a better driver than anyone else I know. I have found him to know more about the man he made than anybody else who's merely associating with me. I have found it to be a fact that my maker knows more about the vehicle he created than does anybody else. If you if your Chevy break, don't you take it to Chevy. You don't take your Forward when it break down to a Toyota dealership. They not gonna know everything that the Forward dealership would know about the vehicle. You know why, because they're not the maker of it. So now, why are you living? You're letting your life being led, controlled and guided by somebody other than your maker. I'm just asking you to let's all take a common sense look at this. So if going to your maker's the best way, the best decision I made in my business was take over my brand myself, and to allow the maker of this brand see without God, I'm none of this. I'm none of this I want you to clearly understand I ain't none of this without him. I wish I could have the guts to reach back there and pat myself on the back for what I've accomplished in my life. I wish I had the guts. I wish the nerve of me because I know for or fact that there is no way that I could have manufactured the life that I have. I could not even have thought of it. It's no way I could have told you that this was the route I was gonna take and this is the outcome because of it. I had no idea, no clue. The one thing I had, though, was an unshakable faith in God. I had an I just kept believing in him. I kept believing that he had something more for me. And then when I touched base with him and asked him to show me what it is what he had for me, Tada, the magic show began. Because you know what he did. He took all my natural abilities that he had given to me, This gift that he gave me, that he poured into me at birth, that same gift that he poured into you at birth. The moment you go to him and let him show you that gift and then guess what. Once he takes what he naturally put in you and put his super his superpowers on top of that, then you have some supernatural things going on in your life and you may not be feeling me. I'm cool with that, but I didn't have some supernatural things happen to me. Every day I wake up some supernatural the man, the rewards of my life, the awards of my life, the accomplishments, the how I'm working, the how I manage it all, all that ain't none but God. That ain't nothing but God. You can't even explain this schedule to people. Sometimes when people ask me, Steve, how do you do it? I go, well, it's what I manage my time. And then at the end of when I get through, I say, hey, man, you know what I need to tell y'all for real? It's God. I don't really know, but I'm letting him manage me. So he handling it. He ain't gonna put no more of me than I can bear. Listen to me, y'all, don't be afraid to reinvent yourself and remember this. Don't get stuck on yourself because you could be wrong. You know, you absolutely could be wrong. If you don't tie this to your gift, you will be struggling the rest of your life. You're listening to ladies and gentlemen.

All right, listen on that note, We're gonna get to today's headlines. Come on, Steve, Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Tripp and this is Anne Trip with the News. Good morning. Starting out with very very sad news. Congressman Elijah Cummings died early this morning due to complications concerning longstanding health challenges. That's according to a statement from his office. They say that Cummings, who represents Baltimore, passed away at John Hopkins Hospital at approximately two forty five am Eastern time. Cummings hadn't returned to work after undergoing a medical procedure. He was the Democratic House Oversight and Reform Committee Chair and a key figure in the appeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Of Congressman Elijah Cummings was sixty eight years old. President Trump is standing firm against his critics, those on both sides of the political aisle, who feel his decision to pull US troops out of northeastern Syria was a bad one, especially since Turkish forces have been attacking the area ever since. But the President says, problems in the area not ours. I say, why are we protecting Syria's land? Besides not a friend of ours, why are we protecting in their land? And Syria also has a relationship with the Kurds, who, by the way, no angels also far in estimated one hundred thousand Kurds and their families have been scrambling for safety in an effort to save their lives. Kurtish forces have now aligned themselves with Syrians. Vice President Penn Secretary State Mike Pompeo left for the Turkish capital yesterday to try to mediate the situation. Meanwhile, yesterday's White House meeting on this country's Syria policy between congressional leaders didn't exactly go the way it was hoped. In fact, sentiment already, Leader Chuck Schumer says, the President started in our house speaking Nancy Pelosi and things really went left. He called her a third rate politician. He said that there are communists involved in You guys might like that. I mean, this was not a dialogue. It was sort of a diatribe, a nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts. Speaker Pelosi reportedly speculates that the President's testiness might have had something to do with yesterday's three hundred and fifty four to sixty House vote denouncing his Syrian pullout decision. First ath you as sensuspirous. They were asking a state governments to voluntarily share driver's license information with them. The latest campaign finance numbers show that former Vice President Joe Biden has less cash on hand than any of his most popular opponents in the Democratic presidential primary race. In fact, the numbers show that Bernie Sanders, Lizabeth Warren, Pete Buddha Jedge, and Kamala Harris all have more war chest than he does. But he says it's a simple. There's a very very simple explanation for that when you look at it. Remember, we got started later than anybody at all in this campaign. Number one, number two. We did not start off by dropping ten million dollars from a Senate campaign wherever that money was raised from into a race. Both Sanders and Warren have a portly transferred about ten million dollars from previous campaigns.

A Tatiana had a license to carry a weapon, took her handgun from her purse and pointed it toward the window. Before she was shot by Fort Worth police officer Aaron Dean. The body camera video released shows two officers searching the home from the outside with flashlights. Then one officer shouts, put your hands up, show me your hands. A single shot then fired through a window, and in the video, the officer does not identify himself as a police officer. Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price said that the killing of Jefferson was unjustified, and some defense illegal experts said Dean might try to claim self defense, but that would be hard to prove self defense. Yeah, oh, they gonna do that. They're gonna do that. They got this body cam with a black person with a gun. Please understand it would be self defense. For they are going to scream I felt my life was endangered. That's the that's the go to line. They're gonna go to that. Let me just say this to everybody living in the area. Do not get out of jury duty. It was pointed out at Sand and Soul. We were having a discussion and a female attorney stood up and made a great point. It is imperative that we honor our commitment to jury duty because what happens is when we are in the jury room. That stops them non blacks from just saying and getting together and forming a racial decision to expediate the trial, to use racial epitats, to use racial stereotypes in deciding a case. Someone has to be in that room to go this isn't right instead of somebody going yes. The officer field for his life, but the offer didn't announce who he was. There was no threat of violence in the house. There was no no one called to say anyone who was in danger. It wasn't an emergency situation. It wasn't a call about domestic violence. This woman was in the house playing video games her house. Yeah, you kill the woman in her house. If you don't think for one minute that they're going to claim self defense, you're absolutely wrong about that. They are going to ram it down our throat. And if we're not in that jury room, the twelve jurors who won't be our peers, are going to see it just that way. Yeah, they said it. If he does claim self defense, it will be hard to prove. But no, it won't sure enough, No, it won't. It was hard for this to watch the video of this man getting choked on the ground and he got away your Zimmerman got away. He claimed self defense, stand your ground, he got away with it. It is not hard for them to get away with this. It's very easy once that jury pool is made up of twelve like minded people and people who look the same around right. That's the danger of our system. So everybody in the Fort Worth area, if you get called for jurry duty, please take it seriously, stop making excuses and go and go sit on some of these juries because people's lives and justice depend on it. Unbelievable, were getting killed in our own homes? Man is man school movie, your house, your car, y man man, yestavles now your own home. Yeah, none of this happens in white neighborhoods. None of it ever going to nobody house shooting them in their house. Please. All right, well we're gonna switch gears here, Steve coming up next.

Please submit your Strawberry Letter to Steve Harvey FM and click submit Strawberry Letter. Okay, we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like We're gonna read this one right here, right now today. Buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is a straw every letter. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a twenty nine year old single guy, and I've been attracted to a twenty seven year old beautiful woman for four months and I finally got the nerve to ask her for her number. When I met her, I did everything in my power to sweep her off her feet. I am a police officer and I work the night shift, so I'm home during the day. She is my mail carrier, and it was an instant attraction when I saw her. I wait each day for her to come by. I get out of bed and go buy her chick filet and Popeyes, McDonald's and all kinds of snacks on a daily basis. Some days I surprise her with flowers, and I even bought a necklace for her and I left it in her mail truck. She is a single mother, so she said, she appreciates the kind gestures and surprises. We talk on the phone occasionally, but I want to take this relationship further and really get to know her. More than a few times I have called her and she has an answered or called me back. She has said she was either sleep or busy with her daughter. We went on one date recently, but it was during her work shift, so she couldn't really sit and chat like I wanted her to. I feel like she's showing me signs that she's not really interested. But I'm having a hard time walking away because she is beautiful, has a good job, and as a nice girl. I feel that there's something special about her. I made it clear how I feel about her, and she told me that she's not dating right now, just focusing on her career. I've been feeling foolish because I have not stopped spoiling her during the day. I need to know if I should stop and see if she misses me and reaches out, or should I keep it a while, keep it up a while longer and see if she comes around. Please advise, Gee, you can't take a hint. Hum. You know, you're trying way too hard. It's almost, you know, to the point of, uh, you know, kind of I don't want to say stalker, because that's a serious term, but you're you're you're kind of over there with all your your gestures. I mean you're a nice guy. It seems you're thoughtful. You generous, buying her flowers and snacks and even jewelry. It seems like you're a good man. But I don't know. You know you're a police officer. Uh, she's told you that she's focusing on her career. That is code when someone doesn't want to hurt your feelings to tell you that they're not interested. Okay. When you call her and she doesn't answer and she says she was sleep or busy with her daughter, that's another code telling you stop calling her. She doesn't want to be bothered. You went on a date with her. How can you even call this a date? It was during her work shift. You couldn't even sit out and chat with her. It doesn't sound like you guys have have anything in common. You said, you feel like she's showing you signs that she's not really interested. She is. She is showing you signs she is not interested. You're having a hard time walking away because she's beautiful and she has a good job, and she's a nice girl, and that all may be true, but the feeling has to be reciprocated. She has to feel the same way, and nothing in this letter is showing me that she feels the same way about you as you do about her. So if I were you, I would back off. I would back off instead of waiting till she comes with all these gifts. She doesn't seem interested. I think you should move on, Steve Doll, Doll, don't listen to nothing Surely said. Listen to me, Doll. Everything Sureley said about the woman, it's one truth. She's not interested. She's not reciprocating the things you waiting on her to come around. She ain't came around. She's not interested. You can't take her him all. That's true. But dog, this is the business we end. We hunt. Show me the deal that wants to get shot, Show me the fish that wants to get caught. Show me the turkey that wants to die in the woods. But deal turns into venison, fish turns into filets, Turkey goals with dressing. Work it out for yourself, boy, don't you give up this man. She could be the one you have to pursue. It's only been four months. She twenty seven. She told you she focusing on her career. She's the male man. She's like, how hard you got to focus. Put that damn stuff in that bag. Let read these addresses and put it in the box. Ignore that she's your male carrier. As soon as you saw her, U was a tract. You wait for it to come back. You get out of bed to go by her. Now he here where? I thank you making a mistake. Chick fil A, Popeyes McDonald You gotta stop with the fat snacks. I know you're gonna say something about that. STI. You got to stop with the fat snacks. Slow down, Slow down a little bit. Let's we gotta do another approach. Some days I surprised her with flowers. That was kind of cool. I bought a necklace for her and left it in her male truck. Okay, she's a single mothers, she says. She appreciates the congestures and surprises. We talk on the phone occasionally. She'd gave you her number. Don't worry about what she'll only talking about. Keep the pursuit, pursue, crack the code, all right, hang on, hang on, you have more. I'm sure we'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hours subject. I love getting the mail every day. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letters. Subject I love getting the mail every day. Twenty nine year old police officer then got attracted to his twenty seven year old beautiful mail carrier. She's a single mother. He's done everything in his power to sweep off her feet. He worked the night shift, so I'm home during the day. She's my mail carrier. Instant attraction shoots. I saw I wait for to come back. I get out of bed. About Chick fil a, Popeyes McDonald's. I told you Earli stopped the fat snacks. Some days, I surprised with flowers. I even bought a necklace for and left it in her mail truck. She's a single mother, so she said. She appreciates the kind gestures and surprises. We talk on the phone occasionally. That's because she gave you her number. You will police offer sup run her information, get her tag number. Oh you are cop, See you gotta what's happening to you right now? Is you come across a little corny with the bags of food Because you make a woman think, Oh he think I'm fat? Oh dude, I look like I won't just fast food every day. You got her thinking that, So you gotta change your approach because you just come across a little corny. That's probably what's happening. You just come across a little corny. So you gotta change the approach here. But you cannot stop the pursuit. The pursuit is real. Keep trying break her down with persistence, sincerity, love her man, show her an interest she's never seen before. That's what wins hearts over. She says, she just don't feel like Dayton. But y'all, don went out on a date. She does not work, So what she said? Yeah she went. Now I've called her and she has an answer or called me back. She says she was either sleep or busy with her daughter dog. You work nights, you home during the day. The woman sleep and got a daughter. That's real. We went on one date recently, but it was doing her workshield, so she couldn't sit and chat like I wanted it too. I feel like she's showing me shine signs that she's really not interested. She is showing you signs that she ain't interested. But what I got to do with what we do? That ain't got nothing? To do with who we are. Not many women out of hand to pursue. It wasn't interested in me. I was interested in them. Hey, Steve, can I see something? Yeah? Remember that you told her? You told me the story. I think you told it on the air too. I don't know if you're working at the Ford Company, but I wore her down at Ford Motor Company. I love you. Yeah, every day, dog, I WoT her down. Dog. Everybody laughing at me, hard man, she man. She been at three years. They never went out with none of us. That's none of y'all. Every day I got you don't want me now, that's because you don't see how good I am. I'm gonna keep showing you goodness. I've been feeling foolish because I have not stopped spoiling her during the day. I need to know if I should stop and see if she misses me and reaches out. You could try that game, but once that fault, so you mess around and take a day off. Other players as day don't take days off. You know, on a little week or two you take off. Maybe another dude slide in. You ain't got no time to take off to say, no game, dude leaning on it, leaning on it. You got to get that pressure. Yes, back, skip the fat meals, change the change the game. Stop putting stuff in the trunk, Send stuff to the baby. There you go, get to the baby. Get to the baby. Back half sneakers a bike. If you love a woman's child and she can see that, boy, boy, boy, you got to change your approach. Who ain't gonna love a man to love her child? Man? See if you can take him to the park on your off day, Just to the park with the child. Can I just meet y'all at the park? Push that baby in the swing show? Game up, doc, Come on twenty nine. That's what we do. Hunt. We pursue that which we think deserves to pursue. The Constitution says every American has the right to the pursuit of happiness. She is your happiness. Why would you not pursue her? You just got to change the route in which you're taken. Do you hear me, boy boy, do you hear me speech? You don't think he's wasting Hell no, he ain't got nothing but time? How you wasting your time? And the girl in dreams is coming by your house every day? You got time for that?

She is here, the one and only Carla Ferrell with what reality update? All right, thank you, nephew. Let's talk about keeping up with the Kardashians okay on in a recent episode, Kanye's opinion of his wife Kim's her met gala look. And this is for the twenty nineteen met gala that happened and her look and her wardrobe and what she was wearing. You know, that was a part of this episode. And it was the night before the event, and Kanye told Kim that her look was too sexy. But she was not happy with the comments that she was making that he was making about her look. This was the day before. She's a wardrobe fitting, she got designers, she's got a glam squad there in the hotel room. So she was not happy with what what he said about her look. So take a listen. Why is that giving your anxiety to say that? Because I was having really bad anxiety and I don't need any more negative enertew for you to now say that you're not into me more. Antis are my wife, and it affects me too sexy and you built me up to have be this like sexy person and confidence and all this stuff. Just because you're on a journey and you're on your transformation doesn't mean that I'm in the right I'm in the same spot with you. So okay, all right, so all right, all right, cool, absolutely ridiculous. Yeah, my wife she can't wear though. I don't think I could do that right there. Well, you guys, what are your thoughts? You married woman who has been almost naked on a magazine and you married a woman who is practically naked on I g she has built, as she said, a career on being super sexy. Yep. Now, I think what she said was because you're on this journey, Kanye, this spiritual journey, she may not be right there with you, and that's what marriage is, and so kind of kind of kind of hard to get her to pull it back. And you're the one that, you know, pushed it out there and it's one of the reasons you wanted her, right But now, Stave also a true statement. People do change. Everybody changed, Yea said, huh does each individual change at the same time in a relationship. No, that's what she's saying, just because you're on your journey right now. Well, one thing about too, is Kanye you talked about her in your song in that same man, But obviously he's changed that. I guess that was the message too here and he's not feeling the same way anymore. But he said it affects me when my wife dresses sexy. H that's new. Yeah, so you know they have a problem there. And No, normally I don't even comment on stuff like this. Really, I feel stupid doing it, so let me get my hands out of it. But you're married. I ain't where you going? Where you going? I don't really, I ain't really sposed be giving a damn really tell and I feel stupid talking about it. I want to apologize because they ain't even got it. Could I tell you how? But you're they and you have an opinion. Yeah, well my wife will ask me all the time, Steve, how you feel about this? You know? And I'm sure if I said, hey, baby, who you're going too far? I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do it. But we've never had that situation before. He did accompany his wife to the gala, so he was there with her. He did support her, and you know, they talked about how she looked later on, and she was beautiful, she was gorgeous. She had a good time. Her outfit it was uncomfortable for it was dope, but it was uncomfortable. She talked about all of that huncle ahead, Tommy. What he wants to happen overnight, that's not gonna happen overnight at night. It's a journey, it's a process. Well, she's going to school to become a lawyer. You know, she's doing some great stuff with prison reform. I mean, you know, she's on a journey herself. So yeah, there you have. All Right, that's reality update. You can hit me up at Lip Spy Carla, and we'll be back at twenty after We can talk about it a little bit more when we come back right after this. You're listening, all right. So before we left for break in your reality update, you were talking about the episode of the Kardashians when Kanye spoke to Kim, his wife, about being too sexy. They were going to the met gala. He didn't like her outfit and he voiced his opinion about that, and she had anxiety about what he was saying, saying, hey, you helped build me up to be sexy and confidence, and now you have a problem with what I'm wearing and it's too sexy and you're going through this transition right now. And you guys were saying, what you know, Steve you chimed in and you talked about your situation with Marjorie. If I did the same thing her, she probably wouldn't wear it. I've been very fortunate that she's never done anything inappropriate, so I've hadn't havn't tried to do that. But as far as Kim and Kanye, Kim has changed a great deal as a person. I'm pretty sure we've all done something when we were younger that we deeply regret. And so I think she's changed a lot with prison reform, going to school and stuff like that. And I think Kanye has changing too with this. Yea's church is traveling in the country and in a marriage, in a relationship, in life, even if you're single, people evolve, they change, you know, That's what growth is all about. And do each change at the same time. Absolutely not. Sometimes we change and we outgrow the other person. Sometimes we change and the other person catches up and we continue on the journey. But that's what marriage and life is all about. So you know, I think they'll work it out. I mean, I'm not as Tim, I can tell you right now. You shot all right?

He was the Democratic House Oversight and Reform Committee Chair and a key figure in the appeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Of Congressman Elijah Cummings was sixty eight years old. President Trump is standing firm against his critics, those on both sides of the political aisle, who feel his decision to pull US troops out of northeastern Syria was a bad one, especially since Turkish forces have been attacking the area ever since. But the President says problems in the area not ours. They say, why are we protecting Syria's land besides not a friend of ours, why are we protecting in their land? And Syria also has a relationship with the Curds, who, by the way, no angels also far in estimated one hundred thousand Curs and their families have been scrambling for safety in an effort to save their lives. Kurtish forces have now aligned themselves with Syrians. Vice President Penn Secretary State Mike Pompeo left for the Turkish capital yesterday to try to mediate the situation. Meanwhile, yesterday's White House meeting on this pre Syria policy between congressional leaders didn't exactly go the way it was hoped. In fact, senatementority leader Chuck Schumer says, the President started in our House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and things really went left. He called her a third rate politician. He said that there are communists involved in You guys might like that. I mean, this was not a dialogue. It was sort of a diatribe, a nasty diatribe, not focused on the facts. Speaker Pelosi reportedly speculates that the President's testiness might have had something to do with yesterday's three hundred and fifty four to sixty House vote.

Yeah, dog, I gotta go down here. If you has turned out some great people me and calling you been calling for too, I was talking about somebody else. Oh, no, I have a question. I have a question for you, Steve though. How does Junior get to have the day off to go to home coming and we went to the same university? How is that working? So I'm off tomorrow? Took? Could you be off to go to no home coming? See? Why are'd y'all waiting till the day before to ask for the day off? Now obviously this home coming ain't that important to somebody. Well, I was scared all weekend. Scared. Yeah, yeah, I can't drink a glass of guts and came on in here and fired it off. But yeah, I did for my boys that we got to camper down there really started. Just go to your little reuse him, go on to the little thing down tell him. I said, Hey, I'll go my wife man, all right, we're gonna follow that with closing remark. Yeah, all right, let's go by just real quick. You know. My closing remarks to day just really I just stems from the comments about the Kim Kardashian story and reality update when she said that on the episode, Kanye was a little confused and didn't really want her to wear an outfit so sexy to Gala, and Kim reminded him that you the one build me up, told me to be sexy and confident. And now that he's on this new journey trying to find himself spiritually, now he wants her to catch up to where he is right now. And sometimes that's not the case. But let me just say this. And I felt bad making it's about it because it's usually not my thing at all, but I try to be put a positive spin on it. Everybody changes, Kanye changes, Kim Kardashian will change. She's changing. Now, I've changed, You've changed. Everybody changes. I think that a lot of us have regrets about the younger you. That younger you boy has done some things that to you off today look back and go, how to helm that I do that? What was I thinking about? And I think that's all of us. But we grow, and all of us grows, and when we grow, we change. The danger is we cannot hang around people who hold us to our past and will not accept the new change in us. That's a problem that all of us suffer through in our life. Oh you like that now? I remember you when you didn't do this? I remember when you weren't that? Yeah, yeah, yeah you do. But I've changed now. So if you have someone in your life who is constantly reminding you of your past, who will not accept the new youth, you know what you should do. You should remove them from your circle because you don't need that any of your friends, associates of business people, anybody that does not accept the new youth. They can't deal with who you are right now. They were more comfortable with the old you. They thought that if we dealt with the old you, maybe we had an edge over the old youth. Maybe they felt superior to the old you. Maybe they felt equal to the old you. Maybe the old you reminded them of how far they had come. Well, the new you may remind them of how stuff they are. The new you may remind them that they have not taken the necessary steps to move themselves forward. So you got to get away from people who don't accept the new youth. You know, people are making these comments about Kanye with his church service as traveling. I think it's absolutely right on it. I think that people who want to boycott and not go to his church service because of his political views, I think they have the right to do that because you can decide who you want to. But Kanye ain't but one vote. He's only one vote. And I think he's move into the direction of faith and God. I think that's excellent for him as a person. I mean, maybe he found him in hardship, just like a lot of us do. So I'm okay with change, man. I support it, and all of us should be on board when other people change and cheer them when they change for the better because we all gonna have to change, and we all she want to be better. And that's it. Those are my closing remarks today.
