Y'all know what time of y'all don't know, y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them more like amaan buck things. And it's not doing me true good at Steve Harpen to move to other Steve, please, hobby, I don't join joined me to be doing me. You gotta use turning them. You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water. Come come on your back at it, h I sure will a good marting everybody you are listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh man, oh man? How good is God to me? And part of the mission and the reason that I have a radio show is to become a share of more and more of a shareff You know. I used to hearing my mother say it to me all the time. But God blesses you to become a blessing. And I think the more you understand that about yourself, I think the more blessings will flow your way. I think that once you understand the principle that you know. But it's kind of tied together with some other scriptures, and I'm not too knowledgeable about them, of course as usual. But I do know what I've heard. You know, and you know, if you look at something simple as do unto others as you would have them do unto you, wouldn't you want somebody to help you if you need it help? I mean, look, I don't know how to wind it down into some intellectual lecture. I just know how to get it down there to where I've been able to understand it. If there's a scripture similar that it says do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or if that's you know, in a prayer, would not you want somebody to help you if you needed help? You've heard you reap what you sow. Do you understand that if you so discord, that discord is gonna come your way. That if you hate, hate gonna come your way. If you blog nothing but negative comments about people, your life will be filled with negativity. If all you do is talk about people, then guess what somebody got to turn that gun around and talk about you. See, it just stands to reasons. So what I've learned in my life and through all the trials and tribulations that I've had is to take those lessons and share them with people in case you ain't heard it from somebody else. See sometimes, and the reason it seems like I'm redundant at times is what I am is because I'm always trying to find a different way to say the same thing. Because it's a funny thing. Man, You got to hear it a certain way for it to click with you. How many times have I heard of saying and then I heard it a different way that it clicked with me. You know, I've heard of this saying, right here, remember this now, everybody's not happy for you. We've all heard that, right, everybody's not happy for you. Well, that's very simple that I don't need no explanation. That simply means of all the people you know or do not know, when something happens to you and you celebrating it, everybody's not gonna join in on the celebration. That's all that is. But then you take it one step further. My father used to say something to me all the time. He says, son, everybody come with you can't go with you. I didn't get that when I was fifteen. Everybody come which you can't go with you? He said, you're gonna lose some of these friends you got along the way. You know, just just the space time, you're gonna grow in different directions. You know you're gonna do something ain't into. They're gonna do something you ain't into. They're gonna want you to go here. You ain't gonna make it. They're gonna disappoint you. You're gonna disappoint him. He ain't never lied. But I don't care where you get in life, how old you get, how far you go, who you think you are, what you make, what you say, what you claim to be. No this right here, everybody can't go with you. If you are constantly trying to improve yourself, you constantly have to take assessment of the people around you. Because if you are going to continue to go and continue to grow, then guess what. You got to have people that's own the goal and willing to grow. If you got people in your life that are not on the goal or willing to grow, how can they help you go or grow? Do that makes sense? So you have to constantly make assessment of the people around you, or else guess what you're gonna learn? The valuable lesson you know, the late boxing promoter butch Lewis. I was talking with butch Lewis one time and man with a good brother man, I'm talking about man with a good brother man Jesus. And I was talking with him and he shared with me a lesson that I had never thought of before. And he told me this. Let me say this clock. I don't know the time I got. I don't want Yeah, I got time. Butch Lewis told me this one time. He say, every successful man is doing what I call he got rope work to do. He got rope work to do. He got to put in work on rope. And I'm sitting there listening to butch Lewis and all the money he had made and all the people's lives he had changed, and all of the moves he was making, and his incredible skills as a negotiator on behalf of some very very wealthy people. He was just an amazing man with no education. But he read everything. He butch Lewis read all that, all the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything. He said, you got to put in rope. And I was sitting there listening. He said, here's the analogy, little brother. He said, you are on rope. There's a thick rope. You have on no shirt, you have on some tattered clothes, you have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off just below the knee, and they tattered, and you got dirt on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge raw rope over your shoulder. That's burn marks on all of your shoulder. Connected to that rope is a wagon. That wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities, all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife, your family members, your employees, your co workers, your friends. They are all on that wagon. Man, they're just sitting there. He's saying, what you gotta do is you gotta pull that wagon up the heel. Now. The only thing with it is, can't nobody help you pull your wagon? You pull your wagon alone. He saying, Now, what you can do along the way of pulling your wagon, as you can find yourself a good wife, a good woman. He's saying that what that woman does is she get down off the wagon. She fan you while you pull it. She put water on you while you pull it. She puts stuff in your mouth while you pull it. She kicked rocks out the way while you pull it. But she but she pull it for you. But she is equally as important as you are on the pull of the He said, you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said, NA get this hell, He says, people on your wagon that you're responsible for. But you want the people on your wagon to help you get your wagon to the top. So what you hope is that they got their foot hanging over the side pushing, They got one leg over the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing. They got they might have their butt on the wagon, but they push you with both legs. They're back facing your back, maybe some of them facing you when one of them got left leg hanging over trying to push. And you hope that all the people on the wagon you pulling is back there at least trying to help the wagon get to the top of the hill. Here goes your problem. Though everybody ain't pushing, everybody ain't pulling, ain't bar everybody ain't pulling. Everybody ain't kicking rocks out the way. You got some people on your wagon that's just laying on the wagon, drinking lemonade, looking at you, talking about how long it's taking you to get your wagon up to the top. Can at you tell my whitest wagon so slow? Then when you start picking up picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you to pull faster, you to pull mo. Then they want you to throw what you then earned on the way up the hill backed on the wagon so they can have mo. But guess what, they ain't helping you get more, but they got a sense of entitlement that since you got mold, they should have more. Everybody come with you can't go with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people off the wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say, hey, man, I'm sorry. I thought I could do this with you, and I thought you was going with me. But it's clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight. And it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore. I have carried you as long as I have to carry you. You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible for my family, my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You got to get off my wagon because I'm a man on rope. I'm on a mission. Baby, I'm pulling. You're listening show, ladies and gentlemen. Man, I have your attention. Please, This is the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You feel me. It is the mourning Man.

Notorious Mexican drug log al Chapo Gusman has been convicted on a number of narcotics and conspiracy charges. After a three month long trial and over week of deliberations, a jury in New York City found Gusmand guilty yesterday on all ten charges. The first count alone carries a guaranteed sentence of life in prison. Gusmand was charged with running a continuing criminal enterprise as leader of the cartel. Interesting enough, the drug people out there at the drug enforcement people say that his Cineloa cartel is actually stronger than ever even though he's incarcerated. Congressional negotiators are still ironing out the fine details on their tentative deal to provide more border security and stay off another government shutdown. However, as you'll hear right now, the President has one view of the agreement, while Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell as another. Am I happy at first lance? The answer is no, I'm not everything the President I hope to get, but I think it's a good step in the right direction. I hope he'll decide to sign it. That's the hope. The agreement gives a Trump and only about a fifth of the money that he wanted, though, gives him about one point seven billion, which is kind of what the Democrats had said that they were going to settle for. Anyway, he wanted five points something a billion dollars, and he says, you know, he's not getting that. Some of the Republicans say that he may be able to get some of the money from other places. We'll see. President Trump does say he intends to add to the degreement, and on a positive note, he says he doesn't foresee another shutdown, although he's claiming that if there is one, the Democrats will be to blame. Prosecutors in Illinois want to judge to revisit the light sentence given the white ex Chicago cop who shot and killed the black teenage Dame LaQuan McDonnell. Jason Van Dyke was the first Chicago police officer in almost fifty years to be convicted of murder, and Van Dyke's attorney claims that the effort to change his sentence is all about politics. Prosecutors say, no, it's not political it's a question of law. Police dashcam video shows a young LaQuan walking away from the officer holding a small pocket knife but ignoring his orders to stop. After that, Van Dyke shoots the teenagers sixteen times in the back and then as he lay prone on the ground, unprovoked, and claims that he did it because he feared for his life. Prosecutors originally asked to judge to give Vandyke at least eighteen years behind bars. Instead, he got seven and could be out in three years. In Denmark, two artists have unveiled the beautiful statue of a black woman called I Am the Queen Mayor, which represents a slave named Mary Thomas who had led an uprising in the former Danish colony of Saint Croix back in eighteen seventy eight. And today is National Yodeling Day. Back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show, you're listening to show. Well, El Chappo, we all know him, the Mexican drug lord. He was found guilty and he could face life in prison. A jury in New York has convicted Joaquin Guzman, otherwise known as El Chappo, on all six counts he was charged with, which included operating a criminal enterprise, use of fire arms, and various charges of conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine, heroin, and marijuana. Prosecutors presented a mountain of evidence that showed Guzman oversaw the shipment of tons of cocaine and other drugs into the United States, generating billions, that is, billions with a b of dollars in profits for the cartel. Prosecutors also presented a video tour of a tunnel between Mexico and Arizona. El Choppo's lawyer also said they would appeal and cocaine does not stop flowing with the takedown of El Choppo. No, that's that's what his attorney said. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, which is true when you think about it. Yeah, they don't stop, yeah, trust me. But he had a tunnel from Mexico to el Yeah. Yeah, we've got to make sure, you know, bath to them because how he left last time. Oh yeah, right, drove off. That's right, that's right, he got to take shower. Wow. But tunnels though, so, I mean, even if you do build a wall like we've talked about many times on this show, it's not tunnels already. Yeah, thousands of tunnels already already, yeah, what were talking about? But the urgency of this wall to be built to stop it all. I give you six months. Chapa be back home. No oh no, no no no, not from an American prison. No, you don't think nobody breaking out of American prison. Oh no, no, not gonna because he's gonna go to the what they call it, see the supermax prison, the one in Colorado, the guy that did the marathon bombing. They sent him there. They call it supermax prison. You're gonna stail by yourself. You don't see nobody help. Yeah, yeah, you're you're not digging your way out of an American prison. But you know, I've watched so many specials on him. He was an interesting guy, man, really really really brilliant man. He's just had it channeled the wrong wrong, as do most criminals. It's some brilliant cats out here, that's criminals. And he had enough money Steve to pay off all these judges and police officers and law enforcement and fition and you know, crazy wow. Yeah, he could have stopped though, but greed makes you keep groom. This is true, This is true, very very true. There you go. Yeah, that's very true. All right, well, coming up, tummy says sixth Monks. Coming up at thirty four after the hour, Steve. Monique will be a very special guest on your show. And things got a little heated on your talk show. We'll talk about that right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Today, this is the day A lot of people have been waiting for your special guest is Monique. And you guys don't leave any stone on turn I mean you, you guys talk about everything and and it got a little heated. Steve, here's a sneak peek. Take a listen and then we can comment. Take a list as we try to come through this. Because what I want really is for you to come through because I know who you really are, and so what I what I want you to do is come through this. What it do the way because you Monique, you're my girl. I love you like a sister. I hate what's happening to you. I hate what they're saying that's not true. I want them to know that you are carried, that you're a great mother, that you are incredible talent. I don't like the fact that you've been black balled. You can be unblackballed. You're too talented to have to worry about all this way. The next one coming from I want this to end for you, But I wanted to end for you, Monique because I love you, because these people are doing it the wrong way and you better than that. You are better than that. Wow, Steve, you know it's it's like it's it's like a really healing thing for me and Monique, you know, it really really is. And I've spoken to her since, and I think I think we're at a turning point because you know, Mo Mo Mo felt that she was unjustly done and and rightfully so in some cases, and admitted by more than one person that you know, some things probably happened to her that should not have happened. As a matter of fact, some things happened to her that should not have happened. And I like, you know, like I told More on TV and I've said it, you know, I just think you handled it the wrong way. You know, you can be right and handle something the wrong way, and she was right and was wrong in the way she handled it. But More and I talked, man, that's still my girl. My only regret was was, like I said before, that I didn't that I didn't. I didn't come to her aide sooner, you know, because I saw this happening, but I was so busy working TV show was Prime and all these shows working on weekends. I just, you know, I was just busy, man. But that's the only thing I regret was not coming to Mo and and sitting it down early on when this first started jumping off. That's that's my greatest regret. But we had such a free in conversation that's gonna be on TV today, you know. And was that a resolution? Yeah? I think it was. You know, I think it was. You know, we hugged for a long time after its old, you know, and then we talked even longer after this over, So I think there is resolution. I think that we were at the turning point where MO can feel, you know, some relief from this, you know, and some people, you know, I don't know how it's gonna work out, but but I know she's she's willing. And Steve, are you are you gonna address when she said that she was gonna slap you or something, because that's what was all over the tabloid. Yeah, I mean, you know, but okay, now, she said it, but she didn't say it, you know, you know how moment surely you'd seen me and Mole on the radio since too thousand. Absolutely, I would knock your ass in the flow if you look over here one more time. Mogen talking to me like that forever she said that. Yeah, you know, but it wasn't it wasn't talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's what I told people that called me and was like, they were like, what happened between I was like if they were just kidding, you know, it was there was no venom. Yeah, there was no no, not at all ensued or anything like that. They were playing, you know, I mean, you know now you know, if you're looking at it, you don't know me and moben you Oh god, she told him she was gonna bust. But but more talk like that all time to me. Yeah, you know, yeah, snatching papers out of my hand, throwing them in the floor. You ain't going in no damn break. Oh you don't. More crazy, man, I know. But today you know, look, you know we're gonna release the the the entire one on our on the internet, you know, tied you but what you're gonna see is, of course I edited down version because we talked for like forty eight fifty eight minutes, so you know, we can't do fifty minutes on TV.

Let's go buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject Hate Comes in Small Packages. Dear Stephen Shirley, I am a sixty two year old African American grandmother, and this past weekend, I took my five year old granddaughter, who I called baby Girl, to a playground in LA because the weather was just so beautiful. I kept a close eye on my baby girl, and I noticed troubling body language between her and a little blonde girl. Moments later, my baby girl dropped down on all fours and started crawling like a dog in the sand as three other white children laughed at her. I rushed over to them, and the children ran off. The look on my grandchild's face hurt my heart, and I could tell she was being bullied, but didn't realize it. She told me that she was fine and I let her continue to play. The blonde girl and her crew went back over to where Baby Girl was playing, and one of the boys had a small ball and he threw it, then told baby Girl to go get it. Baby Girl went and got the ball, and the little blonde girl yelled to her several times to drop it. At that very moment, I stormed over there to reprimand somebody else's kids. The little blonde girl's dad came over and introduced himself and excused the behavior as it's just kids being kids. As I stood there with this man, his little blond daughter told baby Girl that she did not like her braids and she should undo them because she does not live in Africa. Without flinching, Baby Girl grabbed the little blonde girl by her neck and slung her to the ground. Yes, baby girl. Yeah. I felt relieved and ashamed at the same time. When the dad said that this was unacceptable behavior, I told him that this was just kids. My precious granddaughter cried all the way home in my back seat. Later that night, I caught my granddaughter trying to take her braids out by herself, and it broke my heart. How do I explain this type of hate to an innocent child. I don't have the words. Please help. Wow, Yeah, you know, I mean, you know, this type of behavior is taught. You know this, it's taught in the home. It's you know, I mean, that's usually where it starts, because I mean, you've seen this experiment before. If you put random kids of different races andicities together in a room or wherever, they usually gravitate toward each other and play together. Because kids are innocent, they don't have any racism in their minds or in their bodies. They're innocent of all of this. These this behavior is taught. The best thing you know you can do as far as teaching your granddaughter is just build up her self esteem. You're a sixty two year old African American grandmother you've been through racism, you know it is like you know, I'm sure to be called the N word and to suffer racism. Those lessons you just have to prepare, as we all do. We have to prepare our children that this is a kind of world we live in. These are the kinds of things that's going that will happen. But just because you know, and bullying is also a part of this, you know that's wrong as well. But you you have to teach her just like certain things like racism and things like that, starting the home. Teaching starts in the home too. Making your children aware of what kind of world we really live in, unfortunately, is what we have to do as parents and grandparents. Steve, I know this letter is not a good one for me because you know, like I said the other day, now we got a strawberry, lets deal with some racism. I actually grow weary of constantly addressing the colored situation in this country. So let me just get my answers gonna be very short, and anybody can chime in that wants to. I probably knowing me, I'm glad I'm not in this letter because when the man came over and said, it's just kids being kids. Then we've just been two men being two men. You know, i'd have choked him out. Do not put yourself in this letter, I said, you know, I said, y'all, I'm just gonna have to ask you to excuse me because I told you this was not a good letter. I don't like this type of stuff. And now my reaction to stuff like this racism has always been violent. I've never not responded to racism violently. When I was in college faced with it, I reacted violently. I just don't. I'm not good at that. And so my answer won't won't fit on the radio at all, because, like I said, when he came over there and said, kids will be kids, Okay, but what is me and you though ain't gonna be Yeah, because we were not kids. Oh we men. Well, let me share what men men and men do. So you know, that's that's all, man, That's all I got to say, because you know, it's just it's sickening, it really And when you hit this happening at a young age, you know that being taught this, Yeah, so now here comes you mean, it's another generation like this on the way. That's sad because we've seen that experiment. So many times when you put children in a room, they always play together. They love each other, they play. They don't know anything about racism. And it's darker skin or you know, lighter skin, or blonde hair or dark hair. They don't know anything about that. They just they just play together. That's it as it should be taught. It's taught. I went through that. I was a little girl and I was living in Chicago and I came to Houston to see my grandmother for the summer. And I was seven years old, and my mother warned me that I might hear the INN word because I had never heard that before. And at seven years old, my mother didn't use the N word in our house, so I never I didn't hear. I was shocked that she said that I would be exposed to that and this little girl, I didn't know it was wrong. And I got out in public at twelve. It was just me and my mother, so you know, when I got to the day camp. Long story short, When I got to the day camp, we were going on a field trip to the amusement park and the little girl said, well, I'm not sitting next to her that in word, and yes, yes, I couldn't believe that. After our girl, Carla dude, though, I ran after her on the playground, pulled her down by her hair and went in and they had to call my grandmother and they kicked me out of the day camp. Sorry. No, that's thank you, thank you for sharing. So when we come back, I feel perfectly comfortable with our next All right, listen, we'll have part two of Steve's Sudden Response. He found one right after this coming up at twenty three after you're listening to all right, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. Um, this is uh. The subject is hate comes in small packages. These are kids being racist in this letter written in by a sixty two year old African American grandmother who took her five year old granddaughter to the playground in La, of all places. You think it'd be a little more liberal with it. Well, I mean, there are on a lot of things out here apparently not that though. Yeah, you know, y'all man, the kids. All right, you want me to recap the letter, Well, well you know what I'm saying. When I grew up, I grew up in all black everything. I went to all black elementary, all black junior high all black high school. I didn't even I didn't know white people went to school until I went to college. You just you, I mean, you know, I'm just joking, you know. Of course I knew they went to school because they had better schools than we had. But I went to a Kent State I had three white roommates, and it was culture shock for them. For them, not for me, because I, you know, worked with whites on my jobs in high school and all of that, and you know, I watched them on TV. I'm used to it. They had never One guy told me he's never even talked to a black person. I was the first black person he talked to. And one of my roommates was really cool. The other three that at the two week room change, I'm walking through the lobby and everybody in the line in my room except me. I walked through and said, hey, man, what y'all getting ready to do? Oh with us? And then I saw the signs say room change. Kind of hurt my feelings a little bit. They ain't want to live with you no more went down immediate, So you know, in the first day they was all down now and so my dude that I grew up with Prude. He was up the hallway. He had three roommates. I said, cool, they find the lead. The day they moved out, I went out there Drew Prude, matching down the hallway with him. That was my dude. We grew up together, we became roommates. That's sad. I mean the world, I mean, this is our real. Let me te what one guy told me. He said, man, I like you, but my dad says I can't live with you. His father told him, you're not living with the black I played. I played little league football. It was only two black kids on the team. And you meant league that right now. And it's only two black kids on team. And this other guy, kid Kevin Harvey, we we're on saying king together. And I didn't notice it. But when this, when when practice is over, you come around and get water from the water bottom and the and the coach squeezes it in your in your mouth, and they always put me in Kevin at the end. And my daddy was picking me up from practice this day, this first time him picking me up, and he saw what was going on, and he was living. He was a living. All I knew is that something like that going off on the coach and I was like, man, I'm gonna get kicked off the team. And next Dayted, me and Kevin we first in lane. I was like, whoa, what my daddy do? Yeah, your sir, well, I think, I think till you have to talk to your kids, because you know, I'm a young daughter and she her friends. You know, she just had a sleepover and we had three little white girls at our house. She has black friends, she has Asian friends, she has Indian friends. And these kids they played together, they hang together, they danced together, they go to school together. But you have to talk to your children. You can't avoid the conversation, yeah, about racism, and you have to talk to him. And I remember Tasha saying when President Trump got elected, it was kind of like a little change with some of the kids, like some of the boys and stuff at school because she found herself defending President Obama. He is because they was like, he's not a good president. He was a good president. What do you say? You see what I'm saying. It kind of brought out, yeah, a different type of conversation that she had never right because she was when she was born, Obama was black. She didn't even know that the president wasn't black. But I wanted to say to you, Carla though, when you told your story earlier about your mom preparing you, and usually that's what black parents have to do with their kids, if they have to prepare them. Look, you may be called the N word. There's a such thing as racism. We have to have those kinds of conversations in our family because or else, well, well, you know, it'll catch us by surprise. We don't know that, you know, Steve, you didn't know that these guys didn't want to be in the room with you because their parents didn't want them in the room with you. You didn't know that. But you know, you know, the sickening thing is the conversation that my father had with me going to school and how to deal with racism. Why am I having the same conversation with my kids. I can literally say the same things to them, the exact same thing. Yea, all these years later. That's that's what's really wrong. Yeah, that's the God's honest truth, it really is. And this woman who wrote this letter sixty two years old, so you know she's seen racism in her time, you know, she Yeah, she has. She's right, and she's trying to take her five year old granddaughter just out to have some fun at the place. Yeah, and then they're making her crawl on the on the ground on all fours like a dog and telling her her braids aren't good. She's not in Africa anymore, she doesn't live in Africa. What the heck? Vacation the first one. I know what, I could ship some people over that. I know they don't have all the conversation. They want to take then braids out. Well if I take okay, they got to go someway. We're gonna pack them in there sounds my baby girl defended herself and it's just a conversation that her grandmother and her family they have to keep having this. Yeah, she's only five. They well, you're right. Without flinching, it says, baby girl grabbed the little blonde girl by her neck and slung her to the ground. Baby girl had enough of it, she said, yeah, after she told her she didn't like the braids. Yeah, all right, Well, you know, bottom line is Black History Month. Have this conversation, you know with your children. We we we have to have it. Let's stop this hate. Uh you can email us your Instagram. That's your thoughts on today's Strawberry Letters.

My thing is this, we all know racism still exists, but that's not going to stop my drive. I got friends from all walks of life, and to me, of course, black lives matter first. But my thing is this, I'm gonna continue to go out there and live life and be happy and be positive. I wear what I want to wear, when I want to, and how I want to. Nobody can stop my drive. Nobody's gonna tell me what to wear it and when not to wear. Because half of the people that's on social media sare don't wear it is don't wear that. I ain't never see none of them supporting the Money Team. Oh he is a clothing line. You heard him, Money Team, The Money Team. Well so his Gucci yeah oh man, Yeah, he had a lot of Gucci bags, a lot of Gucci bag a lot. TMZ was also saying, you know, he was shading Ti a little bit because you know, he and Ti have beef and that one of the ones that called for the boycott. So you know, there you go, shade, Yeah, there, there you go. Yeah. Uh. In other sports news, Steve, this one's definitely for you. Cleveland brown signed a running back Kareem Hunt. Some called him the troubled running back right now because he's been a little bit of trouble. Hunt, who was the Chiefs, who the Chiefs released in December after a video came out showing him shoving and kicking a woman. Uh signed a one year deal with the Browns, but Kareem Hunt will be a restricted player, as there is no way he will not be facing a suspension when he finally does get off the Commissioner's exempt list, which makes him ineligible to play until the NFL completes his investigation into the incidents and decision on potential discipline is made now it's a source close to the situation told ESPN that the discipline process was still ongoing and nowhere near done. Let's take a listen. I've always believed that it is important moving forward to if a person wants to better themselves moving forward and be a better person, I'm willing to give them a chance. In terms of doing all the deep research I've done, I stilly believe that he will be a better man today than he was yesterday. Now that was Cleveland Brown's GM John Dorsey, he was, you know, you heard defending his decision to sign Kareem. So, yeah, you know, I saw that Kareem hunt situation. I've listened to what everybody says. Critics are outraged. I don't know what to think because on one turn of events, I don't want to see people have to over a mistake pay what they own with their whole livelihood. But at the same time, I have no tolerance or agreement for violence acted out towards women. I can tolerate men's violence with one another. I'm just saying that I don't recommend it, but I can tolerate it much better. I grew up in that world, though I come from a world where we fought each other all the time. You know, it's it's much better now, but I'm from that place right there, So I don't I don't really see how I'm you know, I'm I'm exhausted talking about this. Really, I just get sick of it. Well, it's a lot, it is, it's a lot, It's a lot. It seems like the Cleveland Browns are trying to give him a second chance or the fact that interested in winning it was that well message, yea, we know that's the bottom line too. Yeah. The National Organization for Women issue a statement saying the message this sends is that money matters more than women. Women don't matter to the NFL, which is rather surprising because they're a big part of the viewer audience. Well, I want you to understand now, Kareem Hunt is on Roger Goodale's exemplest. Yeah, is so what doesn't mean anything that the Browns signed. It doesn't mean anything. I mean it means something, But he's got to give permission from the commissioner to play. Well, they have to complete their investigation right now. They've Cleveland has done their due diligence. And I got some friends that's close to that situation up there, and they did tell me what exactly happened. And I just think that we're going to have to wait and see what comes out of this. Oh, we don't know the whole story there about the investigation. No, we don't, and I just have to reserve judgment until then. Now, what I saw on the video was file Yeah, you know what I saw. Yeah, But for the Browns to sign him, they did some due diligence. That's some stuff that has come out about it. Yeah. A source close to the situation told ESPN that the discipline process was still ongoing and nowhere near done, and that Hunt met with NFL investigators in January as part of the process. Steed, So it's still ongoing process. Yeah, So it's a it's a story. Well, you know, we'll keep an eye on for sure. He's um wow, what happens? Yeah? Is he a good player though? I mean I never heard of him until I saw the tape. Is he Yeah? And he has a trouble passed though. I was reading about his family and he comes from some Wow. All right, Well, we'll move on and keep your keep our eyes on that one. Coming up at the top of the hour, Steve's Health and Wellness segment with eight time mister Olympia, our friend Lee Hany.

Just thank you so much. Love you got. Well, let me start with this and then I'm gonna let the group jump in because they've been wanting to talk to you about this fitness. Because we got fitness at any Age on this show. We got all the way from the youngest member who is junior, and all the way up to the oldest member who is Jay Anthony brown Man, if you could get him to just have a fit thought process. So if okay, now this is your book, it's called Fit at Any Age, and you share with us your forty plus years of expertise and exercise and nutrition. So just give us the basics of the book. League well, Steve, I outline an exercise program with movements that can be done right there in the comfort of your It combines the combination of strength movements to build strength around the skeletal system. Then we also have core movements or strengthenings, but balance and control of stabilization. We also have cardio movements there to help give your level of cardial conditioning, which is very important. Then we also talk about stretching for flexibility to sort of avoid stiff this. Then we go into a nutritional program and with nutritional foods and products that's in and out of the system. Because one thing we want to be conscious of this we manage ages to use foods that's going to be in and out and nothing that caused the system, you know, like red meat or like possible things like that that hang around for you know, forty eight hours and more so we got to be conscious of all of those different things as we age. Lee, I'm assuming that you're talking about food that doesn't stick around long fibrous foods exactly exactly fiber like you know, turnip, green cabbage, squash, sweet potatoes, you know, whole queek, whole grain, these other type of foods that have pushed weight out of the body. They do what they need to do by giving us energy and then they pass the paths off. What's left over is weight, and so that's very important to keep the system nice and clean. And then we talk about them pullans of good quality of water, which is a streaming important pushing weight out of the system and keeping our entire systems functioning properly. So the things like that that we're discussed in the books. Then we talk about age management supplementation. We talk about then pour the detops in the body, because some of us, a newly can walk around with fifteen twenty pounds of weight in our systems and not even know why we're looking the way. We don't why we don't feel good, and that's one of the problems there. And let you talk a lot about exercise. Of course that's your thing, but you you talk a lot about new atrition and the foods we eat and all of that. Um. Of course, you know we just got off the Super Bowl. Uh. We talked on this show Lee about how many millions I think it was even billion. Yeah, billion of chicken wings that would be consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. Uh, tell us about chicken wings. What we've discovered from you about chicken wings. And you know how we love us some chicken wings and they almost say yourself together to Yeah, I don't like to go against the wings, but well, the truth of the matter, chicken wings is one of the worst things that you can eat. It's black, consuming a bucket of grief, be ward going raditory of veins which is saturated fat. Yes, it's turrible. Now listen, if you if you're going to have a watch an upper wing, it should be a drum, you know, grill something along those flap, you know, Lee, You know when you put that flap in and put it out and them two bones, it's still together. You know what I'm talking. You know the fact of about that does taste good. I mean it's delicious, but that chick had always come back for revenge if it gets his revenge sooner or later. Okay, okay, so mister Hayy, let me let me ask a question. Me and you at the house. We got the grill on, we've fend to put something on the grill, big game on. What do you put on the grill for us to be so unhapped? Okay, this is what I would do. I would do some grilled chicken bread and listen to we gotta have some wings. We're gonna do some drum matka. We're gonna yeah, yeah. Then we're gonna have some turkey burgers and again it things we're gonna digest and break down quick. I'm not gonna do steak. It's gonna take pointed hours to stake the digest and a healthy person. Then we're gonna follow everything up. But for mixed green salad, you know, maybe some paint appum, which is digestive ensign, you know, And then we're gonna have planted water and yeah, we can have a little you know, some shoulder.

Happy Valentine's Day. You're listening to Steven Show? All right, Steve, Today, this is the day A lot of people have been waiting for. Your special guest is Monique. And you guys don't leave any stone on turn. I mean, you tell you guys talk about everything, and and it got a little heated. Steve, here's a sneak peek. Take a listen and then we can comment. Take a list as we try to come through this. Because what I want really is for you to come through because I know who you really are, and so what I what I want you to do is come through this with a different way because you Monique, you're my girl. I love you like a sister. I hate what's happening to you. I hate what they're saying that's not true. I want them to know that you are carried, that you're a great mother, that you are incredible talent. I don't like the fact that you've been black ball. You can be on black ball. You talented to have to worry about all this. Where the next one coming from, I want this to end for you. Well, I wanted to end for you, Monique, because I love you, because these people are doing it the wrong way and you better than that. You are better than that. Wow, Steve, you know it's it's like it's it's like a really healing thing for me and Monique. You know, it really really is. And I've spoken to her since, and I think we're at a turning point. More felt that she was unjustly done, and rightfully so in some cases, and admit it by more than one person, that you know, some things probably happened to her that should not have happened. As a matter of fact, some things happened to her that should not have happened, and I like, you know, like I told More on TV and I've said it, you know, I just think you handled it the wrong way. You know, you can be right and handle something the wrong way. And she was right and was wrong in the way she handled it. But More and I talked, Man, that's still my girl. My only regret was was, like I said before, that I didn't come to her aide sooner, you know, because I saw this happening. But I was so busy working TV show is Prime and all these shows working on weekends. But that's the only thing I regret was not coming to Mole and sitting it down early on when this first started jumping off. That's that's my greatest regret. But we had such a free in conversation that's gonna be on TV today. Was there a resolution, Yeah, I think it was. We hugged for a long time after Wars old, you know, and then we talked even longer after this over, So I think there is resolution. I think that we were at the turning point where MO can feel, you know, some relief from this, you know, and some people, you know, I don't know how it's gonna work out, but but I know she's she's willing. And Steve, are you gonna address when she said that she was gonna slap you or something, because that's what was all over the tabloid. Yeah, I mean, you know, but okay, now she said it, but she didn't say it. You know, you know how moment surely you had seen me and Mo on the radio since two thousand. Absolutely, I would knock your ass in the flow if you look over here one more time. Mopen talking to me like that forever she said that. Yeah, you know, but it wasn't it wasn't in it was There was no yeah, there was no no, not at all ensued or anything like that. They were playing, you know, I mean you know now you know, if you're looking at it, you don't know me and Mo the oh god, she told him she was gonna bust. But but MO talk like that all time to me. Yeah, you know. Yeah, all right, Steve will come back on this Valentine's Day eve and you'll have some clothes remarks for us on our last break of the day. We'll be back at forty nine after the hour. Right after this you're listening. All right, Steve, last break of the day, take us home with something good. Closing remarks, well, let's go. I think I should keep it on the up upswing for everybody again. I want to just talk to you about what it really takes to make it, what it really takes to make it. Now. Look, I can, oh, you know, sit here and tell you a bunch of stuff that you know, sound like I'm really into public speaking, and I know all of what I'm talking about all is here in YadA YadA YadA. But at the end of the day, what people really want is real simple things that they can do to make it. People want to be successful, man, they really do. They don't They don't want to not know what it's like to be happy, to be free, to be successful. They they want a simpler how should I put this? They want somebody to explain it to them and simplify it. That's what I'm trying to say. Well, guess what, I don't know if I'm the person that's qualified to make it the simplest. But let me tell you what I do. Though, If you want to be happy in this life, if you want to be successful, you're gonna have to develop a couple of things. Now, here's the thing that I want you to understand. Most people have what it takes to be successful, but if it does not start with the belief that you can be successful, you can never bring out the qualities in you of success. Listen to me again. Everyone has it in them to be successful, but if you don't bring them out, and that starts with the belief. If you don't have the belief that you can be somebody, that you're worthy, that you're qualified, that you're capable. If you don't start with that basic belief, it can never happen. So first things first. In order to be successful and happy in this world at whatever level you're talking about, happiness, success is for you, it has to start with the belief that it is for you. I believe that I should be successful. I believe that God wants me to be prosperous. I believe that He comes to give you life and give you life more abundant. But you got to develop some things, man, and the way to develop them is start with the belief and hang on to the belief so strong that these attributes develop themselves. Resilience if you believe hard enough that you can be successful, that you can be happy, it will automatically start to cultivate this thing that's in all of us. It's called resilience. All y'all got it. Everybody got it. You are resilient people. All of us are resilient. Hell, if you can survive the projects, you resilient. If you can survive public schools, you resili If you can survive walking through gang neighborhoods because you still want education, you resilient. If you manage to get yourself a high school diploma or a ged, you are resilient. And the more belief you have, the more these attributes you can develop. You got to be tough. You know how you get tough. You got to believe that you tough. You got to believe that you can hang in now when all is against you. That's how you get tough. You get tough because you keep facing the test and you keep passing them. But all of that, you came past the tests unless you believe you can. Y'all, don't hear me. All of you have an inner strength. Listen to me, man, Don't you know even a homeless person has an inner strength? What is it that gets a person to live under bridge, or live in the refrigerator box, or live in some of these homeless encountments. Do you know what really makes them live there? Because they have an inner strength. It's still some fiber of them that's telling them to hold on. Because if it wasn't, everybody would just get rid of their self. Everybody would end it. But you know why people don't end it because you really do have an inner strength. It takes something to be homeless. All everybody can make a mistake, man, and wind yourself up in a situation. For homeless people have an inner strength. They have a toughness. It's tough being homeless, man. They have a resilience because for some reason they just won't give up. And even though we judge them when we're driving by, look at them sitting on that corner just asking for money. They didn't gave up. No, no, it's another form of giving up. But I'm telling you, even in your darkest moments and your lowest points in your life, you have resilience, toughness, inner strength. I got news for you. It can help develop your faith because if you believe hard enough. The Bible says that faith is a substance of things hope. For that simply means that when how you develop, it's really the essence of it's is hope. Do you remember when you was living you hope you got a bike for Christmas and you went out there one year and the Christmas and the bike was under the tree. You remember when you used to hope? You graduate from high school, you mess around and got a diploma. Did you remember hoping one day you get a job and now you're working. Faith is a substance of things hopeful. But if you keep hoping hard enough and believe that something can happen eventually, that hope times in the faith you got to have dreams and visions so big that it dwarfs all your fields. This is how you make it hope. You got what I'm saying? All right? Dropping babies, drop it for all. Steve Every contests no purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
