Y'all know what time to y'all don't know y'all all soon looking back to black dog giving them just like theming buck things and it's cubs, y'all to me through good to tea, the horty listening to toach other for stolen hobby. Why don't you joy? Yeah? Yeah, by joint being men said you gotta turn. Yeah, you're going to do you go, you gotta turn. You can't turn out turn you love, you got to turn out to turn? Want to go? Come come, uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody, you'all listening to the boys, come on dig me now wanted only Steve Harvey got a radio show man. I got something I want to share with you today. I was, I was in the gym this morning and my trainer, Lee haney Son sent him a text, and he sent him a text this morning of him, dude in the gym lifting up huge weights, dumb bails doing a bench press like you know, you're just huge dumbbells. You know stuff I ain't doing you no hunted sometimes and that really she was huge. I've never seen dumbells this big. And the man was pressing him and Lee's son took a picture of him and he sent this to his father's morning. His father shared it with me. I want to share with y'all because, man, I can't tell you highs explain so much of your life. And when he showed the man lifting this successive weight in the gym, he said, wow, probably look at this dude right here, and he says. The caption he put under it was, don't pray forward to be easier, pray to be stronger. Don't pray for it to be easier, Pray for it to be strong, for you to be stronger. Ain't that cold? See? And I was thinking about that as soon as he said it, I said, man, I gotta go on radio. I gotta tell everybody what what I what I see now, don't pray for it to be easier, pray for you to be stronger. Okay, let me tell you how important that is now. I just heard it that way today, and I'm sharing what you immediate because you know what that has it. It's gonna help me a lot, because oftentimes I've done it indirectly, and then sometimes I've done it all the wrong. I've sometimes I've actually prayed for it to be stronger. But I've also prayed sometimes for it to be easier. I have done that and been guilty of it myself. But from now on, after hearing that, I'm changing my prayer because, See, you can't have it both ways. You can't be strong and weak at the same time. You're either gonna be strong or you're gonna be weak. Now, if you keep asking God to make it easier, what you are not asking for is for you to be able to handle whatever happens. So the next thing that comes along that you ain't worked your muscles on to prepare you for, that's gonna thank you too. So what I what I learned by that is sometimes I even I got to change my prayer too. Now I do most of the time, but I'm a human being and sometimes I just wanted to go away. But now what I really need to pray for is the strength all the time to deal with whatever besets me, whatever comes in my way. Because to become successful, and we've talked about this how many times, it's hard. So since knowing is gonna be hard, why not ask for the strength to handle that. See, stopped praying for weaker moments, stop praying for it to be easier. Stop asking God to make your way plain and easy. Okay, now what now? You ain't worked your muscles out to learn how to handle nothing. I was at it this morning. I put a little more weight on at least said wow, man, you up any of this morning because I know in order to change. Man, I got to in order to grow, I got to change. And you can't change if you're gonna stay the same. You can't keep picking up the same for the pound dumbbails and you want some more results, you're gonna keep getting it. If you keep doing what you've been doing, you're gonna keep getting what you've been getting. You cannot grow without the change. So when we're talking to God and we're asking God to make it easy for us, why the growth at? Why to change at? No, you got to ask God to make you stronger, not to make the situation weaker. I'm changing my prayers. Man, I'm going at him now with just just make me strong enough to handle whatever happened, whatever come my way. Give me the strip to handle it. And now whatever I see in front of me that I'm trying to go after, that's gonna require more. Give me the stripp to do that too. Help me be a stronger man, Help me be a stronger person. Help me be a stronger woman, a stronger boy, a stronger girl, a stronger student, a stronger boss, a stronger employee, a stronger leader, a stronger follower. Give me that, give me stripped to do that. Stop asking for it to be simple and easy and paved the way what you want, man, The road to success is always under construction. Always. It ain't ever paved and smooth and easy. Look here, man, go out there and go out there to days try to be successful. See what you're gonna run into, man, As orange barrels is workers is detools, It's got craters in the road with no warning signs on it. That's how hard it is to be successful. The road to success is always under construction. It ain't fin to smooth out for you. You got to ask gold for strip be what you're supposed to be. Now, let's look at him. When you make a mistake, and you're gonna make them, we all do. We fall down, but we it up. A saint is just a sinner who failed down, but he didn't stay there. That's all a saint is. All these Christians running their mouth with you about how how fired up and save there on all this it got all that but them people. Then people make mistakes all the time, all the time. And see the moment we as Christian people start telling telling people the truth about being a Christian, more people can get interest interested in it. But if you're gonna tell everybody this lie that you're over here living this perfect life and everything and ever since you came to God, your life being smooth, and you don't have no and he didn't took all your pains? And wait what what? What? Who are you? Where that? Where that life at? You're talking about having night? Ain't you? But I heard you had to die to go there? So what you're really talking about? Come on, man, I'm talking to the cat that's in some real pain right now, that's in some real trouble right now to do this at the crossroad right now. The dude has been struggling and dealing with it for a long time. I'm talking to the captives out there, been trying to figure out what's wrong, man, Why I can't seem to get it right. That's who I'm talking to. I'm saying, come over here and give God to try come over here with your imperfect self, with your imperfect ways, and watch him change some things about you. Watch him give you the strength. See what he did for me. Let me okay, see, best of all I can do is just tell you what happened to me. See what it did for me? Was It ain't so much. He just he just took me and took how I war was and made me better with it. I'm still an aggressive man. I'm probably not gonna ever stop being aggressive. But he took that aggression and he started shaping it. Now for the first twelve minutes and the morning, be aggressive about me. Be aggressive about the feelings you got towards me. Your your father, you'll leader, your God, your savior. Be aggressive, man. Tell people how you made it, Steve aggressively, since you want to, since you're aggressive, and I and I and you've been aggressive. I made you be aggressive with that. Now, since you like to tell it like it is, Steve, then tell the truth or how it really is. How I do for you, what I've done for you. Tell everybody you know what I've done for you in a plain, simple way so they can feel you. See, he ain't changed me. He just made me better with it when you get loud. Hey man, every now, I didn't get liued for me. You know you want to tell some jokes, you're real funny, tell something funny, but let it be so more people can hear. See, that's that's what he did for me. So for all you casts out there that's scared to come on over here because you're scared it's gonna change you, turn you into some little punk or you got to get sisted up or something like that. And please, before you start emailing me, that's not an anti gay remark. I'm talking about. It's a lot of dudes out there that just don't want to punk up and sisty up because they're scared that what it's gonna do. Now, you got to come over here and beat this little meek lamb laid off the slaughter every Sunday. That ain't what it is over here. God looking for me, God looking for for for real soldiers out here. See, everybody I talked to don't want to hear about Christianity, So I ain't got nothing for him. Then how about that? How about that? I'm cool with that. See, every Christian ain't turning the other cheek. I ain't there you slap me? Man a mad I'm sorry. I don't. I don't know. I ain't there yet. But see I'm a work in progress. He ain't do with me yet. I might get to the point where the term other chief. I doubt it. I ain't. I ain't looking for I ain't praying for that one. I'm I don't real, but I'll be praying for most. So when I when you do slap me, when I come background, I've come back. Nice, Oh slap me. You won't slap me twice? I'm com Where am I gonna? Huh? I'm sorry? Remember what I told you? You're listening?

Fair broadcast going out there, man, getting that booth, get yourself a nice fat check. Yeah, you've probably got a nice little bank roll. Saved up, and then you know he can go.

The only place we can actually put the casket, and if we didn't put it there, is in the actual room that you're assumed to be wife would be changing it. That's the only place in changing the room when no dead body. But you can't. And you know what, I understood that that's the first thing I thought of, thought, I said, And that's still put the casket where it goes for the people, and we're gonna cover it up and see, basically, you actually gett't But I can't even believe you call on me with this man looking and excuse my French man. Yeah, I know I need to get back in the church. I really do. But right now, Dock, this ain't going down like this, man, we didn't already pay the money first First, first of all, first of all, you know she did.

I'm gonna put that body in the right there in front of the fullpit, and we're gonna cover it. Now, what you're getting out of is you get more flowers, because there's gonna be flowers from the funeral. So I'm thinking that's probably gonna be a little bit of a perfect point. I just wanted you to be on it's probably gonna be more people than you think because some of the people that's gonna be a still wed and it's really for the funeral. A hold of man, are you serious? Right? And now? I mean, look at doctor, I've been paid for this when that happened at this church, man, okay, ain't and no disrespect to the lady that has past called blessed her family.

According to the Washington Post, Mercedes Benz and Hyundai have a pull ads from Fox News host Bill Riley after a New York Times report reveal that uh O'Reilly and his employer had paid five five women thirteen million dollars to settle allegations of sexual harassment and verbal abuse. Okay. In a statement to CNN on Monday, a spokesperson for Mercedes ben said they're advertising on the O'Reilly Factor, Fox's new Fox News most popular show had been reassigned in the midst of the controversy. The allegations are disturbing, and given the importance of women in every aspect of our business, we don't feel this is a good environment in which to advertise our products right now. That's according to Donna Bowland, corporate communications manager at Mercedes Benz. Meanwhile, the cable network faces another legal dispute. That's Fox Now. In a season of turmoil, Former Fox News and contributor Julie Roginsky filed a lawsuit alleging she was sexually harassed by the cable networks former chairman Roger Ales. The Wall Street Journal reports She says she rejected his unwanted advances and claims he and other executives retaliated by denying her a promotion. Wow, pretty serious, Yeah, isn't this what Congresswoman Maxine Waters was talking about last week when Bill came out as a story. Yeah, Bill O'Reilly was talking about her hair. Yeah, so well, you know, you gotta be careful, man, You gotta be careful when you're talking about people. Of course, messing you be one to three tag you it. Yeah, yeah, he said he was a target, you know, I mean sometimes that's true. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Thirteen million though, Yeah, you got to come up with some pictures or something. Now, yeah, I need pictures and tapes. Maybe a million. Let me hear what I see it, Let me see it, yeah, let me see it, all right, get hunting fifty? You say that, Yeah, I see that. I got fifty. That he ain't working. But I mean I hear what you're saying to Steve. A person in your position would be a target. You're rich, you're famous, you know things like that. Well, I am a target. I mean, you know, I thank God that he protects me from my enemies. I'm Isaiah seventeen all date, but no weapon formed against me. I've come to a time but praise God that I haven't had to suffer that, uh, that type of thing. But I've had, like when I won my federal case this year. This had been going on twenty years of someone who was extorting me for money for twenty years, and I finally finally got into federal court after six different lawyers picked up the case and find out they didn't have nothing. And then all of a sudden he gets they get a lawyer and they take me the federal court and I'm in there man for a week. I'm in front of a jury and everything, and by the grace of God, he just protected me. But the sad part of it is when these people come against you to try to get up on this absorbed amount of money and then find out they was wrong and they was lying. Then they it's this Mr Case, You're free to go. Mr Harvey, You're absolutely innocent. But then that person right there, they get to skip their ass to the house, and I'm trying to be going, damn dog, I'd have took off work, damn never missed Miss Universe in the Philippines.

Introduced before you get more even more riled up. Okay, maybe we got three times. But when I see you don't something with your half famous, when I see you introduced her, please missing the lovely and talented one, come in here, talented, miss Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Good morning, everybody. SANDERP with the news. Okay, let's get into some big stories. Former national security advisors Susan Rice is rejecting accusations coming out of the right wing media that she supposedly sought for political purposes to unmask the identities of Trump transition team members who were casually caught talking to Russians during the legal surveillance of some foreign officials. Now, Rice, speaking on MSNBC, readily admits that as National Security Advisor, she had the right and did, in fact ask intelligence agencies to identify the U S officials whose names had been masked in their report. It was not uncommon. In fact, it was necessary at times to make those requests to find out the identity of the U S officials on every topic under the sun, when it seemed relevant. I don't have a particular recollection of doing that more frequently after the election, for example, than doing so before. And Rice said she did not seek to identify the names of people working on Trump's transition team for political purposes. She insists she leaked nothing to nobody, never has, and never would. The U S. Senates debating Neil Gore Reusuch's nomination to the Supreme Court, with a GOP lacking the sixty votes necessary to confirm him under current Senate rules, Republicans could get the rules and change them, change that could permanently alter both Senate and the Court. Democratic Senate Charles Schumer says President Trump should just simply nominate somebody else. We lost one, they lost one. We should now get in the room and come up with a compromise to avoid the nuclear option that so many Republicans are reluctant to take. Of course, Santa Schumer referring to President Obama's pick for the seat, Merrick Garland, who Republicans refused to even give a courtesy interview to for almost a year, holding off until Mr Obama had to leave office. The v IF GOP lawmakers changed the rules, then from now on, the Chamber will only need a bear majority to end debate on any future nominee. So anybody who's in the majority, any party who's in the majority, could just simply push whoever they like. Through Fox TV host A Bill Riley, who recently made a disrespectful crack about Congressman Maxine waters Hairstyle losing tons of advertisers for his show about twenty one of them.

Yeah, you get everywhere else on time. Be on time for the Lord. Amen, Shirley, we're speaking for the us. Look back into the window. You can see him looking at it. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. It's a time. Buckle up, hold on tight strawberry letter three subjects. I finally told him about the baby. Hello, Shirley and Steve. My engagement has been broken off for three months now because my fiance married another woman while we were engaged anyway. After he left for basic training last year, I found out I was pregnant with his baby. I lost the baby at eight and a half weeks. I never told him because I knew it would hurt him. Now that he is married, he keeps texting me telling me he loves me, and it's just checking on me. So I found the guts to tell him about the baby. He still asked me questions like do I still love him, and serious stuff that he shouldn't be considering that he cheated on me, got her pregnant, then married her while we were still together. I'm not over him, but I can't go back to him because the way he handled it. I uh, he lied and I had to find out the truth I wanted to answer, so I got them. Now, my heart won't let him go. He's always texting me, not checking on me because he cares about me. It's probably because I opened my big mouth about the baby. I still love him, but I can't go back. Somebody, please, I need some light on this situation, all right? You know simple, just leave this man alone. You know you're just so much better than this. He made his choice, Now why is he back over here? Bothering you. You know, have you asked yourself that why is he back? You know it's more than just the baby. I mean, you know you can let him think that if you want to, about the baby that you lost, But it's more than that. I think he's got his cake and I think he wants to eat it too. But don't let him play you, you know. And I understand that it might be taking you a minute to get over the pain, but believe me, you can move on and get over this. You know, get busy, fill up your life with things and activities that will take your mind off your ex. And please just stop engaging him, stop entertaining him. Don't take his calls, don't answer his text messages. You know he can only do what you allow him to do. You know you say you can't go back. You said that a couple of times in your letters. So stay away, stay away from him, and your heart will find hello. It'll take a minute, but your heart will follow you, not him. Steve wow Um this letter right here, ladies, I gotta ask you, so how bad do you want to be beat? I mean, are you volunteering for these beatings? I mean, I'm not talking about a physical beating. This is a mental beating. This woman is taken. I can't imagine. I can't imagine doing this to a woman, but I really can't imagine a woman having this done. You engaged to your fiance and while you're engaged, he marries another woman. That. Wow, man, you talk about some doggish mess. There is no way he can explain this to you. This is doggishness at his highest level. I mean, outside of physical abut you, I mean, man, this this is pretty ugly right here. This is pretty pretty ugly to lead a woman down the path thinking she has a fiance, saying she's getting married, and while you engage, he marries another woman. Okay, anyway, Then she says, anyway, after he left for basic training last year, I found out I was pregnant with his baby. I lost the baby at eight and a half weeks. Never told him because I knew it would hurt him. Wow, that's why you didn't tell him, because you knew it would hurt him. You're awfully considerate of a person who ain't considerate of you at all. You are really really a nice person? Or are you this naive? I mean, okay, you knew it would hurt him. So I can't stop you from being a nice person. Now that he's married, he keeps texting me telling me he loves me, and it's just checking on me. Why are you even entertaining this guy? Why? What? What? What did he say to you? Now? Why? Ladies, stop entertaining these men who mean you absolutely no good that this guy he's playing on. Oh man, So then you found the guts to tell him about the baby. He still asked me questions like do I still love him? And serious stuff that he shouldn't be considering. He cheated on me, got her pregnant, then married her while we were still together. Two people pregnant at the same time by the same guy. He picks up her and marries her and leaves you and yours to just deal with it. Why are you still talking to this man? I'm not over him, but I can't go back to him because of the way he handled it. No, no, no, this isn't the way he handled it. This is the way he did you. He handled it the way he wanted to handle me. He did not care how you felt or thought about it at all. He lied and I had to find out the truth. What he done a dirty then he put it on the internet. I'm lost. Who is this guy? Who? Who is this guy? He's pretty ignorant and pretty bold at the same time. Now my heart won't let him go. He's always texting me, not checking on me, because he cares about me. It's probably because I opened up my big mouth about the baby. The baby's gone, lady, the baby is gone. He ain't texting you about the baby. He keeps texting thing you, telling you that he loves you, and he's telling you stuff and discussing important stuff that you're not supposed to be discussing. Considered, you don't understand what's happening. He's trying to get you back. If you go for this, you got coming whatever he gonna bring to you, because he fit to bring some more grief. Run as fast as you can. Will be wrong, all right? I got part to it. Why would we be right back? And you know the subject of her letter is I finally told him about the baby. That has nothing to do with this letter. This, This is so so the wrong way to look at this, young lady. Uh. My engagement has been broken off at three months now because my fiance married another woman. While we were engaged anyway, he left the basic training. Last year, I found out I was pregnant with his baby. I lost the baby at eight and a half weeks. Never told him because I knew it would hurt him. Now that he's married, he keeps texting me telling me he loves me. It's just checking on me. So I found the guts to tell him about the baby. He still asked me questions like do I still love him, and serious stuff that he shouldn't be considering that he's cheated on me, got her pregnant, then married her while we were still together. I'm not over him, but I can't go back to him because of the way he handled it. He lied. I wanted answer, so I got them. Now my heart won't let it go. He always texting me, not cheating on me, because he cares about it. He's always texting me, not checking on me, because he cares about me. It's probably because I opened my big mouth about the baby. I still love him, but I can't go back. Somebody, please, I need some light on this situation. The only light you need on this situation. Get your mind cleared up. First of all, it ain't got nothing to do with this baby. He ain't calling you because the baby gone. He calling you back because he's he's a trip. Listen to me, this man marry someone while he was engaged to you. You had no idea that he was seeing anyone else. I find it very difficult to believe. Ladies, you always know, you all always know. It's just what you don't want is the truth. So you ignore the signs. You had to ignore the signs. Come on, now, he ain't that busy. See, busy men have busy money to show forward. Please know that about us. Secondly, um, you say he went off to basic training. The problem is, and I'm gonna share that with you in a minute, but you're dealing with a man who has not come of age, and it's gonna bring you down while he figures it out. See, he still ain't figured it out. After getting another woman pregnant marrying her, he's now trying to cheat back with you. He's learned nothing from the incident of cheating on you. So now until he comes of age, you're gonna mess around and keep talking with this man. He gonna bring you down till he figured it out. And when he figured it out, guess what he's gonna be with somebody else, and you're gonna be looking stupid for a second time. See, your your man went off to basic training, but he still does not have the basic training of manhood and ladies. No matter how hard you try, you can bring out the best in a man, or what you cannot do is make a man and be a man. Okay, that's a difference. You can bring out the best in a man, but you cannot make a man be a man. Today's Strawberry Letter is posted on Steve Harvey dot com. You can tweet or instagram me your thoughts at my girl.

There, they won't penalize you at all. Now. Yeah, the Supreme Court kept a federal appeals court ruling in place that struck down the band back in September on free speech grounds. New Hampshire officials who brought the suit argued that by posting ballots online was a way to buy votes in the technological age uh. The appeals court rejected that argument, saying their concerns were too broad. In its opinion, the court offered, the ballot selfie prohibition is like burning down the house to roast a pig. Wow, that's the example. So now when you vote, you can take a picture. Okay, remember justin Timberlake got in trouble. When he got in trouble.

Leader Mitch McConnell preparing to cut off and expect the filibuster by Democrats against Neil Gorser's denomination to the Supreme Court. M'connor, who held up President of Alma's nominee to the High Court for almost a year, is claiming that the Democrats are merely acting partisan in a partisan manner, and that that's why there's going to be a role change yeah that allow for a simple majority to confirm High Court justices from now on. However, Minority Leader Child Schumer says this is really all about the Republicans who won't negotiate and who only want their way. Period won't be because Democrats won't confirm any President Trump nominated justice, because that's not true. It will be because they choose to do so, and they will have to bear the unfortunate consequences, and Schumer says Republicans should simply come up with another nominee that both parties can kind of get with.

So we went to a dinner on Christmas and I've seen her there and after we've been you know, she's been kind of hot, and now I knew there was something going on. But you know, a man doesn't pay too much attention when he gets what he wants. So it's when it came down to it, I've seen her with this man, and I was I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. And then I asked him, I said, who mask, Who's this to you? And he told me this is my wife. So I end up going into a different situation. UH. Once we, you know, left to dinner, I end up calling her a couple of days later and I asked her what the hell was going on. She said, I didn't know how to explain it to you. I said, well that was the worst way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, because you'd walked up at the dinner and patted him. Hey what's up girl? Yeah, exactly. So, to make a long story very short, we actually continued our venture together. So we end up taking a trip to San Diego where he was gonna be there, and it was another meeting, and when I walked up to him, I literally went up to him and explained everything that has been going on. Right, Raymond, you went up to your boss to tell him what was going on. Yes, I was going to lose my job. But but framor right, man? Possibly your life? What when you fall in love with somebody?

I just wanted I don't know what nationality. He could have said what it is, would have made no damn. I'm like, yeah, what difference does it make? Well? Unfortunately I didn't end up losing my job.

Mike EPs is sorry, Oh yeah, wait till you hear this story. Hold up, just my dude, let me see what I got. What's happening? You're listening Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up. We got time for just one more thing. Uh, Mike EPs is sorry, I want to hear this story. Yeah, all right, Steve, this is crazy. I mean, we all love Mike ups right. Um, he's been dealing with backlash in the wake of incorporating um something into his act. Um. At his Detroit show last Friday, Mike invited zoo owner and exotic animal handler Javon Stacks on stage, and he came on stage with a kangaroo. Okay. A video shows Mike and the handler with the kangaroo, which is held upright. Mike tugs on the kangaroo's harness before the animal appears to throw his paw back toward Mike. Then Mike runs off the stage. Video of the incident went viral on social media over the weekend, with some accusing Mike of animal cruelty. Mike has apologized, I mean, he apologized profusely. He insisted that he loves animals. He says he's donating money to a kangaroo humane foundation. I mean, Mike was on I think it was on TMZ. He was talking about how he'sa how yeah, how he's loved animals since he was a kid. It was not he was not being cruel to the animal. What was actually supposed to happen, Um, the handler was just supposed to run the kangaroo across the stage while Mike's back was turned, and then Mike was supposed to turn around and say, hey, what just happened, and the audience would be laughing because they saw the kangaroo. That's not exactly what happened. The handler brought him up there and then Mike tugged on him and you know a lot of people saw that and just started sending him all kinds of hate mail and you know, just really dogging him out. And he he was so apologetic, Mike Epps was. He was like, I love animals. He said, I've been to Australia, I've fed kangaroos. You know, Um, I mean just he he was very sincerely apologetic from the heart and he was. It was a really heart felt what he said. Because they were upset, you know how people get upset about these animals and the boy or boy they took him to task. Yeah, they said, good guy, let let me see if I can reach out to him. No, let me look at the video first. Ohh yeah, you want to comment while watching? Yeah, I mean he really I felt his apology to I don't think he meant to harm that animal. And yeah, and then a lot of people that that um has something bad to say, weren't even his fans. They were just about Yeah, they weren't even his fans. They thought he was a rapper. They thought my caps was a rapper. So they don't even know him. Yeah, exactly, that's what I mean. They weren't his fans. They don't know him like that. Now. I just saw it. Your thoughts. I understand where you're coming from. It didn't look like anything malicious to me. But but I can't understand why animal lovers don't want anything. But I mean, I don't even know what the kangaroos doing out there. But you know, if he apologized, you see it, it's not anything malicious he did. He was holding the harness while somebody is on stage rapping. He was bobbing up and down, and then the kangaroo reach back like and swung at him. I guess kangaroo said, hey, man, you're gonna be dancing holding my damn haunt. I don't want to dance and reach back to and then Mike ran a stage. That's all I saw, so yeah, I mean he apologized. We got to give him that. Yeah, I don't think you got to give him that. You know, I didn't see anything vicious. And Mike said, he's going to donate, and he has donated. He's, like I said, he's been over to Australia. He's he's fed kangaroos, he loves, He's an animal lover for real. He said that people apologize. I mean it's like these days, it's just it means nothing. Yeah, it means nothing when they do well. Dr Field told me, he said, Steve, in this politically correct climate, everybody is looking for a way to get they feel in turn. And I said, and then like Jerry Seinfeld said, political correctness is killing comedy. I mean, what can you tell a joke about that doesn't someone doesn't get offended? What what what is the joke you can tell? You know? But then we sit up here and we allow social media to do and say anything they want to do. And Sae, it ain't no penalty for none of these folks. But you got a piece of a career. You tell a joke, now, all of a sudden. You ain't this and you ain't that. It's a bunch of bullcrap to me, man, it's just to me, it's just a bunch of hypocrites.
