Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all all suit on the down, giving them more like the milking bu bu things and its cubs. Y'all good it. Steve har listening to movie together for stum, Please, Moby, I don't join join me, be doing me. Honey. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn turn turn, You got to turn them out to turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. Uh huh, I shore will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Well, nothing changes about that, Nothing changes about that. Man. I was just so getting ready to come on to air this morning. I was just thinking, man, I was just having a reflective moment of just how really good God has been to me. I just it's it's it's man. Let me just say that again, how really good God has been to me. And here's a cold part. In spite of myself, you understand, in spite of all my shortcomings, in spite of all of my flaws and and and and in spite of all of what anybody has said about me, God, through his grace and mercy just keeps me anyway. So many of us are exceptional people, but we refuse to just go ahead and be exceptional. We settle for the ordinary. We follow the pack. We try to fit in. Man, oh man, oh man. You know I've heard my wife say this to my children all the time when she's scolding them, talking to him. She'd be talking to him about leadership. You know, why are you following everybody when God clearly made you to lead? So many of us are born, and so many of you are born to be exceptional people, but we always trying to follow the pack. Why would you try to fit in? Why would you try to be like everybody else, be ordinary? Why would you follow the pack when God has created you to be exceptional? The key word in exceptional is accept you. Ever you ever done this right here? You know, everybody did that accept me. Everybody felt that way except me. Everybody said that except me. Everybody won't wanted that. Accept me. Everybody went over that except me. Everybody jumped in except me. Accept me. See why have you saying that in your life? If you were not to be exceptional? See, you got to say everybody accept me at one point in You're to. I don't know who ain't done it. You know everybody wanted, everybody voted no except me. See, so you're not You're not created to follow the pack. You ain't created to fit in. You ain't created to, you know, to be ordinary. You will create it to be exceptional, as exceptional as your fingerprint on your finger is. You were created to be exceptional. Why not make this the year that you go ahead on and be exceptional? Why won't this be the year that you decide in your mind? But just has to be a decision that we make. Now we're not following the pack no more. We're not trying to fit in no more. We ain't settling for ordinary no more. We're gonna be exceptional. But you know, you got you got to go ahead and follow that. You got to get on the exceptional path, because that's what you were created for. Why be ordinary? You know? But all of this this comes to it has to start with a thought. You got to first think something thought to become things. A man is as he thinketh that's all you will ever be. So what are your thoughts today? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of ordinary thoughts? Why not have exceptional thoughts instead of fitting me in thoughts? So why you want to be like everybody else? Why you want to be ordinary when you could possibly be extraordinary with a change of your mind, a change of your venue, and you don't have to be any other kind of way just because my mama was this way, my daddy was this way, This the school I went to? This, what race I belong to? This is my sexual preference, this is my this, this is my daddy? How many? How many? How many excuses you need? I'm an excuse? What? What? What? What? You? What's it gonna be this year that we let another three hundred and sixty five days slip by without improving our condition, our place, our spot, our life, the quality of life we have. We cannot afford to keep letting all these years go by without changing. You're an exceptional person. How many times have you set up and said, everybody did that? Accept me? You know I was only everybody jumped in accept me. I told him I knew it. Everybody voted for that. Accept me? And now look at him, man, it seemed like everybody went that way, accept me. Okay, do you get it? Do you understand what's being said to you? That an't accept me is because couldn't it be? Because you're an exceptional person, and it's time for you to take control of that. It's time for you to start thinking different. It's time for you to start acting on what you think. It's time for you to start doing something about it. It's time for you to stop taking each and every day that God gives us for granted and letting them go by the wayside, like you got plenty more. Well, you may have plenty more, but guess what what you're wasting the ones you got for I got you young, and you and you feel like you're gonna live forever. D Okay, cool, But let me ask you something. See here here here go to part about. Suppose you do live? See see everybody willing about dying. But I got news for you. Suppose you keep on living. You want to keep living in the condition you in now. You want to keep living with the money you got now. You want to keep living with the relationship you got now. You want to keep living by yourself like you are now. You want to keep wanting the right relationship, the right man, the the right woman, but you keep getting the wrong one. You want to keep doing that for the rest of your life. Problem ain't dying. It's problem is if you keep on living. Who wants to keep on living just the way they are right now? And if you could say I'm cool what I am, just the way I am right now, it in't cool. This conversation ain't for you. I ain't got no problem with that. You know you want to say greatness ain't for everybody being exceptional, ain't for everybody becoming extraordinary, ain't fun everybody. Heck, becoming successful ain't fun everybody. I got it. And you can come up with a way to justify your non existence in your ordinary life all you want, and that's fine and dandy. I ain't got no problem with it. Because some people just gonna be regular. Some people just gonna follow the pack, follow the crowd. Some people just wants to fit in. But if you're not that person, if you want to be extraordinary, if you want to be exceptional, if you want to be if you want to dare to be great at something, and you got to change your mind set. You got to get with your creating, find out what he created you fault. You gotta quit thinking of things just in your own thought process. You know, lean not to your own understanding. I don't know what that is, but it's in there somewhere. Seeing Once you lean, if you lean to your own understanding, you know what it's gonna do. It's gonna limit you. Man, It's gonna limit you. Why not see what God got for you? I would rather know what God got for me than to think of all the things I could because I can't out think him out and tried it before. All right, it's just the beginning. We're gonna have a good one. Man. Let's go. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, it's about to go down. And what I'm speaking about is this hill.

This is a trip with the news in good morning, the Trump administration sending an additional one thousand troops to the Middle East in response to what the White House claims is the hostile behavior of Iranian forces. This decision coming as Secretary of State Mike pump Payer reaches out to Asian and European leaders to try and convince them that Iran was behind a recent alleged attack on two oil tank as i Ron denies that. By the way, President Trump took to the twitterverse last night threatened to deport illegal immigrants, saying that quote next week, ICE will be in the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They would be removed as fast as they come in. Of course, Trump is officially kicking off his reelection campaign tonight with a rally and Orlando, Florida. Yesterday, he claimed that the US stock market would crash if he were not re elected. Democrats have actually been handed a victory by the right wing leaning the US Supreme Court on the voters rights issue. A legislative districts drawn in virgin already judged by the High Court to have been racially jerrymandered in order, and they were ordered to redrawn. Those newly drawn lines are going to have to stay that way. The old electoral districts were found to have been drawn to benefit whites and specifically Republicans. The GOP dominator Virginia House sought to have them restored. However, because the case was only brought by one of the state houses and not both. The High Court refused to consider it because, as Judge of Ruth Bader Ginsburg writes, one house of the states bicameral legislature cannot alone continue litigation against the will of its partners in the legislator. Probably basically, it's going to stay where it is. The US State Department official has confirmed the death of yet another American tourist in the Dominican Republic, this time a fifty five year old man named Joseph Allen of Avanelle, New Jersey, was found dead in his hotel room. His family says Allen was so healthy for the most part. He said he was feeling a little funny, he went to his room, and he was later found dead. He was a frequent tourist to the dr Allen is the sixth Black American to dine in the Dominican Republic under questionable circumstances. There are a total of four whites who have died, as well as another white woman who was found badly pummeled on resort grounds. So far, there have been no arrests. Rapper TI reportedly lending his voice to a project involving the late Reverend Martin Luther King Junior's church in Atlanta, the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, began a three day conference yesterday to address mass incarceration. They're talking about doing a lot of things. TI is helping to actually bail out dozens of poor suspects in the Atlanta area. Other way, he's really putting his money where his mouth is. And finally, today is a National Understanding Day. In other words, the reason that I did that and I recorded this is to protect her anyway means can you dig it? Can you dig it? Can you really really dig not? Back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Show and Trending Entertainment News. We talked about this yesterday, Steve, you brought this up. Actually O. J. Simpson has joined Twitter. Of all days he chose to join Twitter, it was, you know, the twenty fifth anniversary of the double murder, which he was acquitted and the world believes, of course he's so many in the world believe that he's one hundred percent guilty. Uh. And it was also yeah, yes we do. It was also the anniversary of the Low Speed Chase. Remember that in the White, Bronco him and ac somebody said he found a high metrophe in the bush.

His new Twitter account will allow him to set the record straight on a lot of stuff. He denied the ongoing rumors. This was like his first tweet about him being Chloe Kardashian's father, Okay, because that was a rumor for a long time. He said, the simple fact of the matter is she's not mine, meaning Chloe Kardashian. OJ swore that he never slept with Chris Jenner, saying, I want to stress never, in any way, shape or form, have I ever had any interest in Kim in Chris romantically or sexually. And I never got any indication that she ever had any interest in me. All Right, So he set the record straight. So all of those stories he said are just bogus, bad and tasteless.

Well you say, you say, know what it is? Call a call. Ain't on living, So let me just be we all know. Yeah, so I wonder why that was the first thing he chose to tweet about though, the fact that he's not Chloe Kardashian's dad. He ain't tweeted that. He ain't nobody know. But but he did say I got to clear that at the first. Yeah, you would think, right, he did say, I have a little getting even to do all right, coming up next at thirty four after the hour and trending viral video news the Phoenix mayor and police chief apologize after cops draw guns when a four year old girl leaves a store, a dollar store with a Barbie doll. We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening to show. The mayor and police chief in Phoenix, Arizona are apologizing after a video went viral showing an officer shouting profanities I mean, oh f bombs all over the place and pulling a gun on a father and a pregnant mother after a four year old girl walked out of a dollar store with a Barbie doll. The parents have filed a ten million dollar lawsuit claiming against the city. This is a claim against the city in which they alleged their civil rights were violated. A statement from Phoenix Police referred to extremely offensive and unprofessional language and actions by officers, and the city has apologized. The family has described the apology as a sham and lacking all substance. The officers involved have been removed from patrol duty and placed on desk assignment while the investigation unfolds. Now, is this the case where a jay Z has offered them legal Yes? Yeah, rock Nation. Yeah, how do these officers feel threatened? At what point were they threatened? I saw the video. Man. First of all, we're talking about a little girl and a woman, a four year old girl, that nobody had a weapon. There was not any reports of somebody with the weapon. And what they were saying to this woman get out the blanking car yet, blanket car. You're gonna get your blank I'll blow you in your bank, I'll shoot you in your blanking head. Get out the blank man and they were trying to respond to them, but he was just being asked. I don't know, I don't know what you call it. He was just but he was being as provocative, provoking as he could be. Just give me a reason, yeah, exactly. And he wanted her to put her baby down, right. He kept saying, your hands up, and she was I'm holding my baby, and the and the and the man was saying, I am cooperating, sir, I am. Oh. They had him handcuff and kicking him off. Yeah it, oh, dog man, dog man. If it wasn't for social media, people still wouldn't believe what's going on. But now he's his his here's with this because you have some people in what was it, Phoenix against Pool are trying to do something right about it. There's an apology from the mayor, an apology from the police chief, a suspension, put him on desk shop. Now that's the least shit happened to these people. But can't tell you what that's the exact same thing happening. If you just kill a black person. Hello, Yes, that's that's that's that's what's alarming. It's the same treatment for killing a black person. Now, I applaud the Phoenix Police Department for doing something in the right direction for something that ended up not being a fatality. And thank god they didn't shoot this woman or this baby. Yes, now, anybody for a dog going out of a dollar stove. I mean, man, it's a dollar stove. They didn't come out the bank with a sack of money. That was a doll involved. There was no they did it at gunpoint, they had a knife, they made me give them the dog. It was none of that. And the reaction to the police was way too much. So now let us take a note of this. If this is the reaction to this, come on, wow, can't you easily see now how when they have what they think is just caused. How they so easily murder us down, Yes, because they don't care, easily mother, child, pregnant mother, They don't care. And then what happens is the repercussions are never there as they should be. Now, the black dude that killed the white lady recently down nine one, yes, yea, Now he got what you're supposed to get. What get years? Yeah, but he got time for shooting this woman. That's what's supposed to happen. But it does not happen if the police officer is white and the victim is black. But the lect the police officer be black and the victim be white. His answer is going to jail. Oh yeah, oh yeah, somebody's gonna pay for that. You got that right, And now he's supposed to go to jail for that. But then let's flip the script and everybody else should go too.

We could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're gonna read this one right here, right now. Let's go. Let's go buckle up a hole on type. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter, Oh lord, subject to father, should never have to see that. Dear mister Harvey and miss Strawberry. I am a twenty two year old guy and my girlfriend is twin one. She still lives at home, and she's a virgin, so we've been taking it slow in the sex department. I am falling in love with this girl, and I think she loves me. My birthday was two weeks ago and she treated me to dinner as I was dropping her off at home. She told me to pull over before I got to her house so she could give me a surprise for my birthday. I pulled over a block away from her house. We started making out in the car, and then she leaned in and gave me a very special birthday present. It was something I had never received before, if you know what I mean. While this was happening, listen to this though. While this was happening, I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me, and I certainly didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind my card yes, yeah, yes, okay, I'll read it again. You ain't got right, okay, yeah, yeah, no, all right. So, like he said, he wasn't paying attention to what was going around going on around him, and he certainly didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind the car. And at the worst possible moment, at the worst possible moment, her dad was right there looking through my car window. I screamed, I need a scream from you right here, Steve. Please, you can't scream right too much. I love the way you scream. Come on, I screamed, My girlfriend screamed, and her dad yelled for her to get out of the car. He told me if he ever saw me again, he would put his boot in my white A S. S. Excuse me, but that's what he said. I'm a white guy and my girlfriend is black. So do you go? So? Do you think he had a problem with the fact that I'm white? Or was he just mad about what his daughter was doing to me? I have been dating her for a few months and race has never been an issue. We have snucked to see each other once. We have snucked to see each other once since this happened. But I don't want to get hurt because my girl said her dad was very serious about what he said. She won't admit to her dad that it was her idea, and I don't blame her, but I don't want to look like the bad guy here. How can I fix things with her dad? Or should I just stay away from her? Please? Help? Well, you ask what is he mad about? Is he mad about the fact that you're white? Or was it what she was doing to you? And I say to you all of the above. He's mad at everything. He's mad at the fact that you were white. He's mad at the fact of what she was doing to you. You gotta put yourself in her dad's shoes if you can. You roll up on your daughter and she's pleasuring some guy okay, in her car. I guarantee you you would feel some kind of way to see your daughter in that way. But it just produces all kind of shock and hurt and disappointment from a parent that you can't even imagine. So I can't say that it's just one thing that her pops was upset about. Again, I think he's mad about everything. The fact that you're white. I'm sure HadAM shook, and I'm not gonna lie to you about that because I'm sure that played a part. But again, all of this is just something. You know. You don't want to see your child doing this, just like children say they don't ever want to see their parents getting busy, well, their parents certainly don't want to see it from their kids busting up in the dodec. Sorry, okay, a little personal for you, didn't a nephew. I do suggest, I do suggest, though, young man, that you stay away, especially until things calm down, and I don't know that they ever will because of the lie that the daughter told the father that it was not her fault. So um. You know, her dad is just really angry and upset right now, and you're the last person he wants to see. So there's nothing you can do now. You know, there's a saying that says time heals all wounds. Maybe sometime in the future you can call if you really love her, because you said you love her, so you know, maybe you can call and talk to the father at some point. But right now, my suggestion, my advice to you, is to stay away from that situation because you will get hurt. Steve. This is by Yeah boy, boy, Yeah, you have daughter crazy. I understand everybody in this letter. I understand the boy, I understand the father. We have a situation here. The girl gave you a birthday surprise a block away from her house. Now y'all making out in the car. Then she leaned in and get you a very special birthday present, and it was something I had never received before. If you know what I mean, I'm going back in my mind right now, boy, I know exactly what you mean. While this was happening, I wasn't paying much attention to what's going around. You can't, you can't you focus this ship, you focus the shot, your guys, are is open but to shut because you pus facing the back of your head. You're actually looking at your brain with your eyes and you ain't never seen before, so you don't even realize it. But your eyes is well, but you can't see nothing but your day. I'm I knew you were gonna scre It is happening, all right, listen. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Subject of today's Strawberry letter, A father should never have to see that. Right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject A father should never have to see that. This boy been dating this girl. He twenty two twenty one. She a virgin. They've been taking this slow for sex. Respectful, but he say, fallen in love with this gun. Thanks, She fallen in love with you. Your birthday was two weeks ago. She treated me to dinner. I was dropping off at home and she told me to pull over for I got to the house, so she gave me a surprise from my birthday. I pulled over about block away from the crib. Were in a car. We started making out and here this way, all hell broke those she started, Oh leaned in and game a very special birthday press. You keep reading that over and over again, very very very special. It's the first time, I'm sure, and it was something that I had never received before. If you know what I mean, I know exactly exactly what you mean, because when it first happened, you don't know what to call. So you was in here and it like you're being ravaged. It's like, oh, all your senses have been taken away. You have drifted off in two an abyss. The world doesn't stop turning for you. The car engine ain't o no more. You ain't in ther har you in heaven as the process continues. Your eyes, you say in the letter, when this was happening, I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me. Boy, boy, we know exactly what you You can't pay attention. You can't pay too much of nothing right now. You don't know where your hands are. You don't know why your teeth is gritting the way they are. You can't understand why your eyes is open but you can't see because your pupils are pointed the other way. You're looking at your brain, and you've never seen it before. H You just saying things that she speaking in a language similar to what church folks do back digit, careful, liberally, good to All of this is going on, and then while you wasn't paying attention, you notice that her dad, You didn't notice that her dad had pulled up behind your car at the worst possible moment. Her dad was right down looking through my mind. What is the worst possible moment. Well, let me remind you, for those that have for good, the worst possible moment is to try to clamp the water holes. Yeah, why are you washing the car? But the first yeah, yeah, see you when you washing the car and you ain't got no niles alone it and you need to stop that stream of water from going on your car. You got to clamping shut. Now you could run the risk of putting a hole in that hole. Really, it's what I'm saying about washing cars. So you are now at the wash the car moment, and her damn daddy is looking dead in the window. I would imagine at this point your head was facing the ceiling, your foot was nothing but in Adam's apple. But the words that's coming, I am these incoherent noises your dad, Her daddy wants to bust that damn car window. And then her dad was right there looking through my car. One you notice it because it's somebody having a big black man looking at you. Why are you at the worst possible moment? And all of a sudden you screamed. The girl screamed, and her dad yelled her to get out of card told me if he ever saw me again, he gonna put his boot in my white ass. Now excuse me, that's what he said, because I'm a white guy, my girlfriend and black. Do you think he had a problem with the fact that I'm white. Yes, he had a problem right then and now if you didn't know it before, you know it now ever can see you again, I'm gonna put my foot in your white ass because yes, he's got a problem with you being white right now.

During Trump's Oval office interview with George Stephanopolis from ABC last week, he kicked the president kick Chief of Staff Mike Mulvaaney out of the room because he coughed. Trump was responding to a question about his financial statements and whether he would ever release them to the Senate. When a cough was heard off camera, Trump stopped the interview, pointed at mulrooney, and said, let's do that over. He's coughing in the middle of my answer. I don't like that. If you're gonna cough, please leave the room. He and coughing. He was choking, but right, he was choking because of all those lies the President was telling.

Mister Trump, of course is a television guy, so he knew that the shot was ruined when someone coughed, and he is also known as a germophobe Tommy, so coughing must drive him a little bit.

She was a painter, a writer, and designer, but also a remarkable mother, wife and friend. She was ninety five years old, but ask anyone close to her and they tell you she was the youngest person they knew, the coolest and most martin. Miss Vanderbilt became well known in the seventies for marketing lines of cosmetics and fashion. She was a fashion designer of those Gloria Vanderbilt Blue Jeans.

Want Miss Vanderbilt leaves behind us, should say four adult sons, including Anderson Cooper, and our condolences going out to Anderson Cooper and his family and other entertainment news Blue Ivy Carter is on her way to becoming a star.

Wow, my youngest child would be twenty two next ye. It's so cool hanging out with him now. Man, I've been chopping it over with my kids. Man, that's a good thing, right. I'm scared though.

Man? Yeah? All right, coming up our last break of the day and some closing remarks from the wonderful, the wise, the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine after you're listening, all right, here we are, Steve, last break of the day on this Tuesday, and you're gonna leave us with some closing remarks. It was a pretty good day to day, wouldn't you say? Yeah, a pretty good day. I got something for you though. All right, let's go in the vein of encouraging people. I want to inspire people to go for it. Okay, Steve, what you're talking about? Whatever? It is. Whatever it is that you've been hesitating about, whatever it is that you've been procrastinating about, whatever it is that you've been waiting on the right time, whatever it is that you've kind of been fearful of. I want you to go for it. And I'm gonna tell you why, man, Because this thing we have called life, in the total scheme of the evolution of the world and all that it is, we all have such a very short time here, and oftentimes it seems like some of the good ones times absolutely gets cut just way too short. But I want to encourage you to go forward. Now. Is it gonna take a deep breath to go forward? Yes it will. Is it gonna take a bold spirit to go forward, Yes it will. Is it gonna take some risk to go forward? Probably? Is it going to require a tough decision to make. I'm sure it is, But I'm telling you that it will be well worth the decision to go for it. I was at the mentoring camp this weekend and I was showing that young kids my vision board and some adults were there, and the kids were just glued to what I was telling them about accomplishing your dreams. But some adults who had been whipped by life a little bit, I would imagine as I had and everything they didn't. They couldn't quite see what I was saying. So a guy came up to me afterwards and he said, you know, mister Harvey, not to discourage you in any way, but that's a really really lofty financial goal you have of making. Do you really think you need that much money? I said, no, no, I don't. He said, well, why would you run the risk of disappointing yourself by aiming at something that you might not get to Because that number you got with a three on it, I mean, he said, Hey, man, what happens if you only get one of those? I said, if I got one of those instead of three of those, do you think I could still live a really, really wonderful life. He said, mister, I think you live in a wonderful life now, I said, I am, sir. He said, But why would you want to run the risk of falling short of that goal and the three and you only end up with one? What does that say about you? It will say the same thing that my life says about me right now. It says that I'm successful, he said, But you failed at your goal. I said, no, no, I did my absolute best. I landed where I landed. I said, see, brother, the problem you're looking at. The problem isn't aiming too high and miss it. See if I don't get three billion and I end up with just one billion, I said, my man, I can promise you I won't be sitting with somewhere disappointed in shame of myself. I say, your problem is not aiming too high and missing. Your problem is if you aim too low and you hit it. I say, see, what happens to a lot of people is they go okay, and they make their goal somewhere where they know they can reach it. Let's say, and I'm not knocking anybody, let's just say your goal is twenty five thousand. I'm not knocking this figure. I'm just using this number, y'all. So don't anybody please don't. Take a person and you shoot for twenty five thousand, and the other person says, well, mine is one hundred thousand, and you both strike out to make the goal. The person whose goal was twenty five thousand, I mean there was one hundred thousand, he misses it. He ends up with eighty five thousand. The person whose goal was twenty five thousand, he hits it and he gets twenty five thousand. You see the situation we have now now, the one who did the eighty five goals. Wow, man, if I could have tried a little bit hard, if i'd have done this, I could have corrected this. I could have done this, I probably would have made it. Had I done that, I probably would have got that. The person with the twenty five thousand is in celebration mode. Oh man, look what I did. I did it. I'm cool, I got it, and there's nothing wrong with that. You should celebrate your victories. But if that's all you ever wanted is at twenty five, do you know what. Shortly you're gonna be out of that twenty five and you have to get back again. But this person who missed a hundred and ended at eighty five, to me, it just seems to be a little bit further up the road, so he may make his goal next time two hundred and fifty. Let's suppose he missed that, and don't give but two hundred. But if you just keep setting low goals and you keep hitting them, and all you want is low goals, so you don't ever have to feel disappointed. You don't have to have to admit defeat, you don't ever have to feel fearful because everything you're going too doesn't require a deep breath, a leap of faith or jump. I got news for you. You're gonna live a real regular life. And if that's what you want, it ain't nothing wrong with it at all. But if you, like so many of people that I know, if you want more, you're gonna have to do more. You're gonna have to give more, and you're gonna certainly have to be more. Go forward, don't give up. Go forward, y'all have a great weekends. You don't know when the weekend is, but great words for all. Steve Harvey Contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
