Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them more like American buck things in its cub not doing me true good it Steve har to move together for Steve, Please, I don't join join me in doing me. You gotta turn you are you gotta turn to turn them out turning, got to turn out, turn the water the water. Come, come on your thing, I show well a good morning everybody. Y'are listening to the voice. Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. I have something and it so describes how I was living. It's so captures the feelings that I had about beginning on the pathway of my dreams. It so describes how I felt when I was about to attempt something. And I have some striking news for you. It describes often how I feel still today to a degree. So let me tell you what that is. And I know what's happened to a lot of people. Here's an analogy that I've heard a couple of different ways, but I've kind of, you know, fixed it around to where I can drink it better. And I think it fits my personality to describe it to people best this way, you know I was I was talking. I've talked often about the urgency of doing something with your life, of of getting started today, of stopping the procrastination and putting it off, and waiting on all your ducks to line up in a row, and waiting till the stars aligned themselves. If you ain't on such a thing, you're you're never gonna get started. I don't really I don't know too many people who can say that all the ducks just lined up in a row. Things happen. Things happen even when you get them lined up. One of the ducks get out of line, or somebody knock over the domino, or something happens. But here's here's, here's here's here's the point I'm getting at. God has so many blessings of ailable to you, you who's listening. God has so many blessings available to you from where you are right now. I don't care what you've gotten yourself into or what you've done. God has so many blessings that he can send your way. But you have to do something. See a lot of people just sit around and go man, and something always happening to you. You're always getting a break. You're always doing this. You always do. Man, don't nothing come my way. Listen to me. If nothing ever comes your way. You know why that is. It's because you're not doing anything. I promise you you're not. See, here's a deal. God has all these blessings he wants to send you, but you got to give him something to work with. Now, come on, you have to give God something to work with. God will bless you. God can touch people's hearts on your behalf, He can move situations around for you. He can align the stars. He can set the ducks up in the road. But align the stars and move people around, and touch people's hearts and set the ducks up in the road for what based on what have you put forth? Any effort? Have you made a single step in any direction to do the right thing or go the right way? That gives him something to put his finger on. Come on, man, God can only bless you according to your faith. If you have a little bit of faith, give him that, let him work with that. He can do that. You know, man, I didn't always start with these speeches you're hear in the morning. Now, I ain't always had these. I grew to these, I stumbled my way to these. I messed up my way to these. Hell, I got it wrong so many times to be able to sound like I got some sense, I said it often. Failure is a wonderful teacher. Do you know how many times I have had to have failed to have what I have in my head today. I'm telling you, man, it's a process. People getting mad at the process. You got to do something to give God something to work with. He'll bless you. But what you want me to bless if you ain't putting forth any effort, any effort, if you just sit down and start. I got a book coming out, I'm telling you, man, that's going to really explain this thoroughly. Man, Where you can get blessed from whoever you are in your life, wherever your starting point is, wherever you find yourself wound up you can get you can get it back from. Now. I've done it, man, by the grace of God, I've done it. I got over. Man. I learned some things along the way. Because here's a deal. As long as God keeps waking you up in the morning, he ain't through with you yet. When he's done. You're done. But if God still has a plan for you you wake up in the morning, He's still got some more work for you to do. You wake up in the morning. So if you keep waking up, man, it's something that God wants from you, would love to have from you, and he can work with you, man, if you just walk towards him a little bit. So here's the deal. I know it's hard for the average person to start because the fear of the unknown is incredible. What if I failed? What if I don't get picked? You know, one of the hardest things I ever did was walking in to quit my job. Oh man, let me tell you about that day when I decided that I was going to be a full time comedian after winning an amateur night one time, quitting your job, following your dream, going forward despite all the nay says, it's like stepping off a cliff. It's like actually just walking off the edge of a cliff, hoping, hoping. Now not really knowing, but hoping. Hoping is the bad basis of faith. I stepped off that cliff hoping that my parachute would open and allow me to drift down. See, I've never skydived before, but I would imagine part of the thrill, and I don't know this because I'm not going to sky dive to find out. I think part of the thrill for people is the danger part of throwing yourself out a plane and how it feels to be free falling, But the whole time they're free falling, having this exhilarating, over the top moment. You have got to believe in your heart of hearts, you have got the hope with everything in you that when you pull this chord the shoot opens or else this ain't a good move at all, But you've packed your shoot yourself, You've taking the lessons, so you go ahead and you make the leap. Now, the only thing about quitting your job and following your dream is you ain't really been trained all that good for this, and you're really You didn't packed your shoot, but you ain't never opened it before. So I walked off this cliff, That's what it was like. And you following your dream is like you walking off a cliff. Now, let me tell you something. Here's the part where people don't never make the jump. They see somebody like myself who jumped off the cliff. And the pasachute don't open right away, and I hit a couple of rocks on the way down. I got my back cut up pretty bad. I got my clothes ripped off. They see that three years living in a car man he got his life toe down jumping off that cliff. I ain't jumping off that cliff. But see what you don't understand is you don't you don't know it. But eventually the shoote will open and I'm at the parachute opening part of my life. Man, where a shooting open and I'm drifting and I'm able to go over to Parish, guide my shoote over to Paris and glide. I've I've glided over to Africa and seen what it looked like. It's a slow ride down. When the pass chute finally opened, and my back then heeled too, and the cuts that I had on me, I remember now I know how to stay away from the edge. But the parish shute then opened, and I'm enjoying my life for the first time. I'm gliding, but I got hit up against the rock. I can see more. I get a chance to see more things. I get to glide and see more parts of the world. I'm living my dream. The pass shute open. Your pass shoote is gone open. But I'll tell you one thing for shore, It'll never open if you don't step off that cliff. You got to step off that cliff, got to get the passhute open for you. But you got the jump, baby. That's the hard part, ain't it? Now? Question is the end of this story right here today when you jumping. You're listening Morning show ladies and gentlemen.

I I've been going through this, laby. Let me ans it? How often is it healthy to cry? It depends on who you are in the circumstance. But I think I think if a man don't get out two a year, really, I think if a man don't get out two a year, he might be just bottling up some stuff. Are you real to me? Yeah? I think a man should be allowed to cry twice a year. Something has to affect you emotionally, something has to resonate from your soul. You have to allow something to penetrate your your soul. You got to remember on something God that brought you through and in your carriage state, you go, man, I used to be messed up. Look what he's done for me. Now you got to have that. Or you got to see somebody who you see accomplishing something and you see the appreciation that they have, and you happy for him, and it touches you because you've been there, done that.

Um you got one, junior, what you got best advice you ever received? You can't tell God how to bless you. I think everybody that you can't tell God how to bless you. You know, man, probably the best. If I wish I had known this man, that you could want for something so badly, but if it goes against the will of God, then God don't punish you for wanting it. He just changes your mindset so you can rearrange what you want until you start wanting the same thing. He won't fun you. Oh how many times you hadn't turned my stupid wagon? Right? Could come on, carl it? You got a question? Yeah I do. I'm gonna lighten it up a little bit. Say a word in Spanish? Hot. Uh.

The week after that, it's Knoxville, Tennessee, Friday night, April to twenty, Knoxville Civic Auditorium, Me and the one and only Bruce Bruce figures. Don't say d nah kit sum All right, thank you, nephew. Coming up at the top of the hour Entertainment news. Right after this, you're listening to Day Show. Well, doctor Dre, this is the story you wanted to hear about Steve Doctor Dre's attempt to brag about his daughter's smarts has really kind of backfired on him. You know, Dre. He's a big music mobile now thanks to beats by Dre. Well. Anyway, Dre wanted to spotlight how proud he was of his daughter, Truly Young's acceptance into usc that's his daughter's name, Truly Young. The caption said, my daughter got accepted into USC All on her own, no jail time. Well, the post has been taken down now. It was on Instagram, but he couldn't resist throwing shade against the celebrities like Laurie Laughlin and Felicity Huffman who allegedly paid for their children's way as part of this whole big bribery scam. It should be noted that doctor Dre donated seventy million dollars to USC for the creation of the Jimmy Ivene and Andre Young Academy for Arts, Technology and Business of Innovation in twenty thirteen. Now people are digging up old posts from May of last year showing Truly complaining about how dad is pushing me to go to USC, so that that's what happened. You know. Well, let me say a few things here, because Andre Young is Drake's real name. Okay, first of all, in the building. Let me yeah, let me say this, When you donate money like that, it's a tax, right off. When you give that much money to a school, you're gonna get your name on a building. They have done this for years. But now remember this seventy million between him and Jimmy Iveen benefits thousands and thousands of students who come through that university. I just I just want to say that now. I just want to say that I'm not defending anything. I want everybody to understand what this man, doctor Dre has done. So quite naturally, he would love to see his daughter go to school. Now, his daughter still passed the SAT and got all the grades, but now he has been a major contributor to that school to get his name on that building. But it not only benefited his daughter, but the thousands of students who are able to go into that type of building. Well, I think, yeah, and you're right at what you're saying. But the problem is is that he said the no jail time. So people felt that he was gloating, you know, and he was, you know, picking he was he was throwing shade at you know, Lord Off and Felicity Huffman, So of course they went. Yeah. I think it was a bit of humor throne in there too. That's the way I look at it. No jail time, because you know, first thing you want to know is, well, what did he do to get his daughter in there where he made seven million dollars damn contribution to a school. I just well, he took the post down. Yeah he did. Yeah, of course, because they're not gonna understand that part of they did what he did ass live you know, well it was a bull board, you know he did. Well, I mean that that's legal. Yeah, I mean people do that all the time. Rich people do that all I've been doing it for years and years. Yeah, for generations. Right there you go. All right, So, speaking of the usc scandal, Steve Olivia Jade Giannellie, Lori Laughlin's daughter, is now blaming her mother and her father, Mansimo Giannellie, for ruining her life. And insider said that, um wow yeah yeah yeah uh An insiders said, well, she lost her I mean it's a big thing, Steve. She lost her endorsement deals with the FOA trust me and Estate Lauder. In the wake of the scandal. She's really angry with her parents because she told them she didn't want to go to college and she was pushed. All right, Stephen, is that time, ladies and gentlemen, she's here, miss Anne Tripp, thank you, thank you, Good morning everybody. Well, the Russian election meddling probe is over, American polishman given only a four page summary, nevertheless, it sounds like the presidents looking for some payback. There are a lot of people out there that have done some very very evil things, very bad things, I would say treason as things against our country. And hopefully that people that have done such harm to our country, we've gone through a period of really bad things happening, those people will certainly be looked at bad as the operation we're apparently. Attorney General William Barr released his short synopsis of the Mullah report on Sunday, saying that it concluded that there was no collusion between the Russians and the Trump presidential campaign, but not exonerating him of instruction of justice. Democrats want to see the whole report, since they point out that Attorney General Barr was picked by President Trump attorney Michael Avanati, who represented porn stars Stormy Daniels and her legal battle against Donald Trump. Has been arrested for alleged extortion and some other things, and he faces charges in both California and New York. In New York, US attorney Jeff Berman says Avenatti's accused of trying to extort upwards of twenty million dollars from the athletic ware company Nike. Abanati repeatedly pressured the company to agree to pay or risk having Avanati hold a press conference that he claimed would dramatically drive down the stock price of the company at its market value. And California, Avanatti's accused of embezzling a client in order to pay expenses for his coffee company and use phony tax returns, they say, to get millions and bank loans. Avenati says he's innocent and will be found so. But the second time in a week, a Parkland shooting survivor has committed suicide. As spokesman for the Coral Springs Police Department says, a student at Marjorie Stoneman High School took his own life Saturday night, and that another survivor of the Valentine's Day massacre and reportedly suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, killed herself on March seventeenth, student activist David Hogg, a former student there, setting an earlier post at having students go back to the same high school where, only two weeks after seventeen students and teachers were killed as cruel and unusual punishment. Also, I have to tell you the father now of one of the young children killed in Connecticut Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, has taken his own life. A thoradys say that Jeremy Richmond left a suicide note, however, the contents are unknown. Fellow Jude in Seattle has or Defense Department stopped discriminating against naturalized citizens who volunteered to serve in the US Arms Services as part of a program designed to attract immigrants with certain specialized skills. US just to record his rule that the Pentagon may not have to discriminate against soldiers who are naturalized citizens and put them quote continuous monitoring and security checks. Finally, today is a good cleaning day for a bubble bath. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to show, all right, So Steve, we have some before we get into this story about Michael Avenati. I wanted to tell you this some really sad news to report from our homestation in New York City one oh seven five WBLS UM, New York City radio and news giant Bob Slade has passed away from kidney disease. Um. Yeah, it's really sad. Mister Slade was a voice in the African American community, and New York City leaders Reverend Al Sharpton are truly saddened by his passing. Of course, we send our condolences to the Slade family. Yeah, you know, really to his family who was obviously much closer to him than all of us. But you talk about one of the giants of radio, man Bob, Bob Slade was was an such a person of integrity. Bob Slade helped so many young people break into radio, understand what radio really really was. Man Bob Slade in the city of New York was a giant man. And I mean that guy right there. Man was just a solid, solid brother. And I'm pretty sure his wife, if he had children, you know, I don't know him personally, but I know they got to be heartbroken. But whoever you are, if you are in the family of Bob Slade, you know that he lived his life as a man of integrity. Integrity is the best way to describe him. Not only talented, but just integrity man. Just a great solid brother through and through man. Our condoless go out to the Slade family absolutely, Steve, thank you for that. All right, So we're gonna switch gears here. Attorney Michael Abanati. Steve has been in the news quite a bit lately. First of all, he represented Stormy Daniels and then most recently R Kelly's alleged sex abuse victims. Federal prosecutors in New York now have charged Abanati in an alleged scheme to extort Nike over allegations of misconduct by employees. Prosecutors say he was representing an amateur basketball player and demanded a one and a half million dollar payment or he'd revealed bribes Nike had given to the families of multiple players. He also wanted a company to pay him fifteen to twenty five million dollars to conduct an internal investigation. Wow, you know, man, And Stormy Daniels has come out and released a tweet that she's not surprised what that she expects other things to be uncovered about him. I mean, she went that angle right, yeah, yeah, all of this is kind of missing. I just met him as a matter of fact, man did yeah, at a restaurant. He came up to me and shook my head, said he was a big fan. Don't see nothing else at him right now? Well, I ain't tweet nothing, so hey, listen coming up at thirty four after the hour. An interesting thought, Robert Muller just showed the Democrats that you got to beat Trump the old fashioned way. All right, we'll talk about it right after this you're listening to. All right, So Steve, we all know that Special Counsel Robert Muller's report found that there was no collusion from the president with Russia during the twenty sixteen election. Many people believe that the president is not going to be impeached now, and what the Democrats should do. This is what they should do. What they successfully did in the mid terms and won the House. Remember the Dems ran against Trump's healthcare and tax policies last year. Okay, so that's what they did. That's what they're saying. The Democrats need to do. Stick to healthcare and its tax policies, run against those. There's so many issues like Trump's fondness for dictators and the white nationalist fondness for him, which continues to desturb people. Trump's trade war is unnerving our farm states. Democrats had plenty to say about Trump's border wall and his horrific policy of refugee child separation the people. It doesn't seem steve that the people. They don't seem to care so much about Muller's report what impacts people's everyday lives or what they care about, like healthcare, Like, yeah, you know, this whole thing about collusion, Okay, there was nine. You know, I was really kind of twisted about the whole thing from the outset. I didn't know what they're shooting for, but they seem to be hell bent on making his stick and making it happen. Okay, it wasn't there. The report says no collusion. Was that potential obstruction they were saying Mueller punted the ball over to an Attorney General, Barr, who was a guy who has once said that this and mull investigation should have been over with a long time ago. Now he's saying reports say that this guy Attorney Bar is saying there's been no obstruction of justice. Now Trump is saying he thinks they can file the whole report and show it to the public. He don't care because he was cleared on his big points that that was no collusion. So this is a considerable victory for the president, according to all sources that I've been watching on the news. It is, but it's not a victory for us as the people. We can't vote on foreign policy. We don't know who talking with the Russians. When he do talk with the Russians. He made the letter that take the notes, get out the even throw away to note, so we don't know what the hell. Yeah, we hadn't. So he drained the swamp. Is new creatures in the swamp. So me look nice. Makeup was all right and good that I last. She wasn't falling off. She can't look frustrated though she already looked frustrated. She can come out and talk relieved that day. Todaytime and she looked like she was winning. Man got some sleep. And did you notice when um President Trump was speaking, he was more subdued, He was more humble today. He was like, I don't think any other president should have to go through this. Yeah, boy, he wasn't aggravated in a Yeah, he don't do humble good at all. I was like for it. But he plays the game very well. He's such a chess player in this whole thing. But you know what they're saying too, though, they're saying the Democrats, you know, as they campaign and they're going, they having all these town hall meetings and talking to all these people. People don't care about the Mulla report. They don't care about Russia. They care about their money, healthcare, their mortgage, their jobs. They just don't care about stuff like that. So the Democrats need to focus on that. Yes, administration wants to knock down and completely get rid of Obamacare, the Affordable Act. They want to get rid of the whole thing now, which would be his other campaign promise. All he trying to do now is keep the campaign prom I got rid of the Affordable Care Act, I got these taxes knocked down and there was no collusion. Yeah, getting that wall, and he's done everything he promised, and then he's a sure win for twenty twenty. Man, I'm telling y'all, these people love this guy. Yeah, and Democrats should stick together like the Republicans. They should all right, we gotta move on up next, it is the nephew with his prank phone call for today.

We can be reading your letter just like we're gonna read this one today live on the air, right here, right now, let's go buckle up, hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject, I just can't do church. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am writing you because I need your advice on how to talk to my mom. My mother is a very religious churchgoing woman, and I don't share her love for church. I lie to her every Sunday when she asks if I have been to church. I am a Christian and I believe in God, and I thank Him daily for everything that I am blessed with. But I despise church. I don't think church is necessary to have a relationship with God because so many of the churches today are full of pulpit pimps that manipulate women for sex and money. My mom's church is no exception. Her church is full of sheep that follow this pulpit pimp blindly, and then after church they are the biggest hypocrites and most hateful people. I prefer to save my soul by praying in private instead of tithing to these pastors so they can buy expensive suits and cars. Of course, I can't get my mother to see it from my perspective, so I stop debating the issue with her. It's easier to lie and tell her that I'm visiting other churches on Sunday when instead I'm watching a thirty minute service on TV and then heading over to Ihup for pancakes. I do have a conscience, though, and I don't want to lie anymore. By the way, I am thirty seven years old and single. Two pastors at my mom's church have hit on me in the past, and I never told my mom because she's so far gone. She blame it on me some kind of way. How can I start a real conversation with her about this without telling without her telling me that I'm going straight to hell if I don't get my tale back in the church? Please help. Yeah, this is a tough one. It sounds like your mom, you know, is old school. She's brought up in the church and she doesn't want to hear anything else but that. I am glad that you go to You go to the TV church, I should say, and watch that for thirty minutes on Sunday. And you have your own relationship with God, which is the most important thing. You say you prefer to do your praying in private and all of that. You do have a relationship with God. You do know God, So that's important that you have that. As far as advice on you talking to your mom, can you talk to your mom about other things? I mean, how is your relationship otherwise? And sometimes you just have to sit them down and just let them know. You're thirty seven. You're thirty seven, and at some point, you know you should be able to have a grown up conversation with your mom respectfully though, I say I always say do it respectfully because you know she's still your mom and you're still her child in her eyes. I know that because I am a mom. But I mean, you do need to know that we as Christians, we are the church. We are the church. So saying you despise the church the place we go and worship God, and that's a bit strong in my opinion. The people who are in the church, they're humans, they're sinners, you know, they fall short. We're all imperfect. The church is like a hospital for sick Christians who are trying to get their life together. They go, they confess, they repent their sins, they do all of that. That's what goes on in church, and that's why we're called to not put our faith in man, but to put our faith in God. I'm sure your mom has told you that. I'm sure she has. So I'm just asking you please don't condemn all churches. None of them are perfect, and no one's perfect. There are some good ones out there. There's some good churches out there. Maybe just your mom's church isn't for you. You do watch a church for thirty minutes you say on TV, maybe you could go there. I mean, there are some good churches out there. There are gonna feed whatever you need, give you what you need. And I just say, don't let your bad experiences completely turn you off. Give God another chance, give your mom, give the people of God another chance. And sit your mom down and just have an honest, grown up conversation with her about how you feel. Try to get through to her. Steeve, Surely, I don't think you could have given a more complete answer, Just do you, though, boo, see boo wants to do come on something else? See boo, ain't. I ain't as good a Christian. I'm not in the soul saving bids. If you tell me that you're looking forward to going to Hell, I say congratulate. I say congratulations and walk away in case you try to go to Hell. Now. I don't like talking to people like this who say stuff that they despised the church. I got, you know what anybody people? Shirley said it best of all. I can't talk nothing. Shirley said it. Shirley nailed it. Church is for sick people. Everybody's sick. Ain't nobody perfect? Now you mad because you got hit on by two of the passes down there. You don't wanna tell your mama because your mama crazy. Yeah, you know, come on now, you know that dam's church people. Shirley said, sit down and have an a dark conversation. You know how this conversation gonna go. It's gonna get all back to the Bible if any man, no regular conversation, no old committed Christian. Everything they say gonna get you right on back to what she wants you to hear. And the majority is gonna be true. But that ain't the conversation she wrote her hand. So how do you talk too? Your mother? Agangan sits round six around? Please? They are in Oregon. We we're here today and we're not supposed to be here today. Calls. Today is Tuesday, that we were here yesterday with complaints, but today we're doing strawberry letters. Right. The title of this letter is, and I repeat this letter verbatim, I just can't do church. Uh. I don't know who the hell she thought she was righting into. But we here, and when we come back, the titler of my sermony is I can't do church. Hold on, let me change it. The title of my servant today is gonna be you can't do church. I can't do you all right, just right back with today. I can't do you're listening, all right, Steve? Come on? Or I should I say, reverend, come on back? Uh. Let's recap today's Strawberry letters, subjects I just can't do church. I just I just can't. This woman rode in to said, dear Steve, and shure I need advice. My mother very religious church going. I've been to church all my life. I despise church because I don't think church is necessary have relationship with God. Who is you to be making such an accusation of claims? Ah Dann full of pool pit pimps that manipulate women for sex and for money. Not all churches and like that. You need to understand it. There's some good men of God out there, some good women of God out there that ain't any for the money. It ain't any for the sex. That's where you're so wrong. But now you think that they are the biggest hypocrites, most hateful people. I preserved to save my soul by praying in private instead of tied into the passing. You don't let the devil trick you devil got you thinking you ain't got to leave your house. You're watching the sermon on TV. Well that's the same thing Steve do. But that ain't got nothing to do. Steve ain't wrote no letter in Steve already no eagle on the hell with no damn trouble a letter Tim where he just buys the church devil and trick you and got you right into the wrong person. You ain't new red Motown gonna be in mona hear me? Now let them begin with the sermon today. All right, it's your sammon. Now, you can't do church.

Do you think college ball players Do you think college athletes should pay? I think that college athletes should be paid to cool all of them that generate revenue. Yeah, based basketball and football generates revenue. I think the kids should be paid because they have to sacrifice their whole college career to play them sports. All right, we gotta move on. Guys. Coming up at the top of the hour, Cardi B is suing vloggers for defamation. Of character and DMX's Valet car of Valet and a big old car mix up. We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening show. Cardie B. Steve is suing vloggers for defamation. You can say what you want, bloggers, Yeah, you can say what you want. You can say what you want about Cardi B in private, but once you posted online, she's just coming for you. That's just it, plain and simple. Latasha K and Starmine is that star Marie Ebony Jones? Star Marie Ebony Jones? Love that name? Or finding this out the hard way? People? Latasha K runs the blog and she's posted twenty three videos over the last twenty three months alleging that Cardi has been doing drugs. She even say that culture could be born with intellectual disabilities because of it. Meanwhile, yeah, yeah, yeah, this is crazy, I know. Let me finish. Meanwhile, Jones posted a video accusing Cardi B of doing molly and cocaine, engaging in prostitution, and spreading herpies. Wow. The two even combined forces on a video with more allegations of STDs and hooking. Carti has filed a defamation lawsuit against both women in the paperwork, Cardi says that she's never been a prostitute, never used cocaine or molly, and doesn't have herpies. She gave them a chance to retract their statements, but they refused. Cardie wants an injunction to delete the videos they posted. Let's go. You know, she can get a TIA on that. But what I hope she does is temporary restrain tr What did it call her? When you have to take down something that's called track? Take it down? No, it's called I forgot, I forgot the legal to yes, something like that. But what what I'm hoping happens is for Cardi B's sake. I hope that Cardi B can get some justice in terms of payback. See what's ugly about the Internet is they can say anything they want to about you. If you get an order to have it taken down, it's already been picked up fifteen twenty other places. You can't spend your day chase in this garbage, so you allow it to exist. But the originators of it, if you can bring them to court and get some type of restitution, some type of justice for it, you know, some jail time or heavy fine. Let you lose your right to vlog or whatever it is you're all or the money you made off of your post, because that's how they make money. They post this stuff, they get views, and they're paid by YouTube or Facebook a certain amount of money because they take in advertise it. It's perfectly legal to do. For what shouldn't be illegal? Is you allowed to just, uh, you know, discriminate against somebody, say mean, hateful, hurtful things about a person's family. If it's not true, man, you should not be allowed to print it. And we're going crazy with this. You got to be kids mess with this girl's baby. So hateful, so hateful, And then they're sitting up there, sitting down and they joined together like they're a real correspondence team. And so now, man, I think this young lady, I think Cardi B has I don't know the girls who did it, but I can understand Cardi B being upset about it. Yeah more than upset. Yeah, I mean you know what, man, it's so hateful man, when people just write what they want to write about you and they don't even know you, and they don't have the facts and they just print lies.
