Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more like amazing buck things. And it's not me true good at Steve Harten to move together for Steve, Please, Moby, I don't join join me. You're doing me. You gotta use that turning them. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn't got to turn them out the water, the water. Come, come on your back at it. Uh huh, I sure will. A good morning everybody you are listening to the voice, Come on dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. If y'all only knew, I think I'll tell it to you this morning man started off real crazy. But it's just those little mishaps where we as people who are striving to be successful that makes all the difference in the world. When you have those little minor things that come up, you can't let the minor things stop you. You've got to keep pressing forward. Now, could I have played the role of where is my car? Where is my car? Oh? Where is my car? Instead of hustling and grab a cab? So what am I? Am? I above a cab? Ride now, or do I have to look at the bigger picture and say, okay, I could act like a little spoiled brat sometimes a star and go I don't ride in cabs or where as my car and then go to blaming people for not having a car, Or do I make the adjustments because ain't like I ain't been in a cab before? Now slow down? Ain't like I ain't never been in a in a beat up car before. Slow down? Ain't ever like I ain't never had a carb and roll the bus before? Slow down? Ain't like I ain't never been homeless before? And they have nowhere to go? Slow down. So in those moments right there, always remember where you come from, but even more importantly, always remember where you're trying to go, because it's important for me that I get here as many mornings as I possibly can. It's important because that's the goal. And so many people allowed a minor things to stop them on their road to success. And I'm giving you this example today not to say hey, look at me, but to say to you, hey, listening to me. There are going to be a lot of things that's gonna happen along your way to being successful, and if you allow the small things to stop you, there's no way you'll make it. You've got to always press forward and stop looking at the situation for what it is and look. Sometimes you have to take your offer right now and put your eye in the future. You know, God has blessed me in so many ways. I mean, what can I say? You know, I ask God for this syndicated show. He gives me a syndicated show. Now I act like I don't want to come to it. Hold on, man, slow down. Did not you ask for this? Do I not realize that there are certain people, man, who look forward to this message in the morning. I've heard it from people, So from the hundreds that I've heard it for, that could represent thousands for all I know. So if I think somebody's counting on me, I got to try to get there and give something. So today I didn't have any time at all to think about what I might say. I just walked right in and the jingle was playing, and so I decided to just tell you about my day and maybe you can relate it to something you're going through alone the way, Because no matter who you are, you're going to have some moments. Man, where things are going to happen. And like I always tell my kids, and I just had this conversation with my little girl, it ain't that things ain't gonna happen. It's how you handle what happens that matters. But it don't matter. It's how you handle what happens that's the determining factor on where you get in life and how soon you get there and how long you stay there. That will always be a mishap, something that's gonna throw you off. That will always be something man that could deter you. That will be something somewhere man that will make you doubt it. Now that you know that's gonna happen, then let's talk about how you handle what happens, because it's going to happen. So now what do you do as a person when these moments come about in your life? How do you handle? Oh? Woe is me? Oh? I guess it wasn't meant to be? Well, if the Lord wanted me to have this, I'd have that. How many deal how many times you hear people say that? You know, man, it really irks me. Man. Stop using God as your excuse. God ain't no excuse. God is a reason He's a reason why the good happens. He's a reason. He's not an excuse. God don't have no excuses in none of his scriptures or writings, not that I but he just don't make excuses. I would have done this. But you know there's a scripture that says the poor will all shall always be amongst us. Why that's got to be you. Yeah, he said the poor will always be amongst us, because you know, everybody ain't gonna follow the principles of success. But he also said he came to give you life and give it to you more abundantly. He said that too. But oh no, you don't want to hear that because your life kind of trip it out a little bit. So now what you do with it? Now, you twist it and you go to that one little scripture that say well, the poor shall always be amongst us. Well, that's put in there because that's a that's suggests in case. See, that's a just in case y'all don't want to follow the scriptures. That's just in case you don't understand that faith without works is dead. That's just in case you have not because you ask not. It's just in case you don't believe in shall not doubt he got all that in there. But in case you don't want to do that, there is a scripture that tells you who don't happen if you don't do it, And here it is the poor shall always be a monster. But then you get that when they say, well, hell, that's I guess that's the Lord's will. Lord's will, really, really, really really that's amazing. I just don't believe that about him. I don't believe that God created your life to be a life of misery. I think that we make decisions along the way that caused us to have lives of misery. But I really really just don't believe that God created you for that. I've heard Nelson Mandela speak, and you know, you gotta go wild. All those years in prison, man, what was it about. When you hear him speak, you understand what it was about. He said he always knew he would be free one day. Now, what he said he never knew was he said he never knew that he would be the president of that country. Oh my goodness, what a long way around. But he could have sat there and got involved in prison activities that wasn't up to pawing things like that, and they said whenever young inmates used to come in. He was telling the story one time of how young inmates used to come into the prison. They all sit around and talk to him about what they were doing and how many kids they had in their lives, and it helped them keep track of the outside a little bit, and it kept a sense of time for them, and it reminded them in to talk about what they left behind, and it kept them going because something was greater on the other side. Had he allowed that to stop him, had he allowed the imprisonment, which is a pretty major deal. Oh, by the way, then guess what he would have never been? To Nelson Mandela that we know to day, a martyr, a leader, a great force. People want to go around him. Even people that imprisoned him could not understand his staunch strength, his faith, his unwavering commitment. They couldn't understand it. So things are going to happen in your life. But it's how you handle what happens doesn't matter. So keep pushing, y'all. Don't let the little things get in the way, okay, And if you just sometimes you just don't know. I got in the cab thinking I wasn't gonna make it, but at least let's go see, let's try. I made it. Now. Guess what that gives me? Another piece of information that I have and all I had to see it again to date. Guess what I said today. Man, Sometimes when it looked like you aren't gonna make it, just go head on anywhere. Now. I could still be back there at the hotel till I wear my car, but I got up in here made it. So now what y'all gonna do with it? Let's go you're listening show ladies and gentlemen, man, have your undivided attention, please, I have an announcement to make that this day that we are currently being blessed to be a part of today it is on and cracking. Today is one of those three hundred and sixty five days that God gave you at the beginning of his new year for new opportunity, new chance, new growth, new blessings, new level of expectations.

All right, Steve, So your birthday is coming up this Friday, January seventeenth. Happy early birthday to you and the baby. Carlo's baby Tasha is born on the same day. My husband Ernesto, Tommy's wife Jackie. They had a birthday last week January ninth, And Steve, your daughter Laura's birthday. Laurie's birthday was Saturday. Your father in law's birthday was last week. To check the story out. Okay, January babies really get the short end of the stick. It says, not only are they born into generally crappy weather, but they get way fewer birthday presents than people born in other months. Friends and family members of January babies spend more money on presents to give out on Christmas, and because of that, there isn't a lot of money to go around or left over for those January birthdays. Now. This is according to financial comparison site, January birthdays end up getting about fourteen hundred and sixty dollars less over their lifetime. The average adult spends five hundred and twelve dollars a year on birthday gifts, but those surveyed have admitted that they spend thirty four percent less on people who had birthdays in January. Well, Jackie is caught up. If if ain't hunting at something East year, Jacket ain't caught up. She's frying she's above now. But I told I tell everybody that's born in January, move your birthday, move your money. You know what I'm saying.

They don't go with the popular opinion a lot of times. That's why Jennifer Lopez was snubbed for her role at in Hustlers. Remember that should have gotten I saw that move. Yeah you saw. Let's save it, Steve. Wait, I'll vote it for I tell you. I will talk about all of these stories at the top of the hour. But right now it is time for the nephew to run that prank. Back what you got for us? Nav Baby wait, if your baby way too much, they can't get on the bus. Okay, were weighing them before they get on the bus? Baby wait, let's go. Hello Hello, I'm trying to reach a trainer please. Yeah, this is trainer China. My name is Earnest Earnest Murphy down here at the bus bard with the from the school district. Your son is is Devin? Am I right? Yeah? He's in the sixth grade? I think yeah, yeah, everything is flying now. I think he's on He rides bus ninety Bus ninety three. Does he ride US ninety three? Uh? Yeah, yeah he does. Okay, So now the school board has implemented a new rule, and um, we're having to call a lot of parents and let him know about the new rule for us as far as the buses are concerned. Now, from my understanding, each child that gets on the bus has to weigh less than one hundred and twenty five pounds. That's what the new rule that is implemented by the way Board. Say that again, each child that gets on the bus has to weigh less than one hundred and twenty five parents, I don't understand, k So what's okay? So what does what does that mean? So starting on Monday, Starting on Monday, what they're gonna do. If they're gonna the bus driver will have a scale and he will wag the kids they get on on the bus. I understand. Man, the doctor, like I say, I'm calling, I'm calling every patent that they say, you're gonna you're gonna waive my child before he gets on the bus. That's that's what the new rule. That's what the new rules. And if he's over one twenty five then he he'll either have to walk, you have to take him to school. But I have a job. Okay, I have a job. I thought gonna take my kids in school, but I don't. That's what the bus explores. That's what my tax dollars paid for us. Right, But what's the reasoning the rationale behind this. Okay, let me tell you what's going on. From what they're saying, the weight of these children is wearing down these transmissions on this bus, on these bus transmission, the transmission cannot take all of that. So they are limiting the weight of each child. So now how much does that discrimination? But it definite? Over Is he over one hundred and twenty five pounds? He okay? He is okay? And you you're probably gonna have to take your son to school or you gonna have to walk. He probably need to walk to school if he already or hunting twenty five pounds? What as are you talking about? Man? All I'm saying. All I'm saying is if your son is overweight one hundred twenty five, you know, maybe the exercise is doing good. But like I said that, the school is that's gonna allow him on the plus sure, I will not accept this. I who do I need to call? Is there a manager? Is there a city's council member? I mean, this is seriously, this most ub discriminatory practice I've ever heard of. It doesn't even make sense. You're talking about a child, I understand, but we're talking about a child weigh more than a grown person. You're so I need to get what is your name, sir? Tell me your name again? My name is ernest. I'm down here at the bus ball. I would like to speak with the supervisor, like, now, what do you you do not get to speak to my about my child that way? You get to speak to any kid that way. You should not be working at a school if that is your attitude. I'm no, I don't work at the school. I work at the bus ball. I'm down here at the bus ball and they gave me your attended They right, because you're saying he's over behind in twenty five pack. I am an absolute shock. This is so okay. So do you have a fat chat? I mean, do you have scuoba? I'm sorry, do you have a big chatter? Listen? What my child looks like, how much he weighs is none of your business. I'm gonna call the school. They be working with your company. If this is the way that you treat people and you talk about children with fight doesn't matter with here. I guess what they're doing is this is the way of them approaching obesity. You know, whoever, whoever over one hundred, they might walk it all your start. Listen, Listen, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Okay, I have to work. My son is getting on that bus and I'm going to call the schoolboard and should not be working with you. We're another bus company. I don't know, but I'm calling the city. I will call members they need to call, but you need to give me a supervisor's name right now, right now? Do you think you need to start cooking different post so Devin, don't have you know, maybe maybe it's starts at home and what you're feeding everybody, you know. I am calling the supervisor.

Okay, Yeah, Also, our girl j Lo Jennifer Lopez was snubbed for her performance and hustlers.

So that is hilarious. Time to get caught up on today's headlines. Steve good ahead, Steve crazy man, Lady generate, miss and trill okay, thank you very much. This is a trip with the news. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is expected to send the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the US Senate this week. In fact, the representive Pelosi is scheduled to meet with House Democrats this morning to discuss the timing of a vote on impeachment. Managers the Republican dominated Senate those expected to make quick work of the impeachment charges and to quit the president. However, Pelosi says, no matter what, Donal Trump is still impeach for life and there's nothing his friends and supporters can do about it. President Trump is still defending his decision to order American forces to take out Irani in General CoStim Solomany, contending that Solomany posted an impending threat to the US, but then he adds it is not important anyway, given the general's history you as Attorney General William Barr says that a number of Saudi military cadets are being expelled following the last month's deadly shooting at a Pensacola, Florida, naval base. A Saudi military student murdered three young American sailors and injured eight other people last December, and the AG says it was a terrorist attack. They say the gunman who was killed at the scene was motivated by radical jihadism and hatred of Americans. So, after an investigation of the eight hundred and fifty Saudi trainees here, Bar says, a number were apparently found to be sharing extremist material, even child pornography. So you know what, they gotta go. Twenty one cadets have been disenrolled from their training curriculum in the US military and will be returning to Saudi Arabia, and Barr says the Saudi government apparently agrees with his decision to send them back. New Jersey Senator Corey Booker has ended his race for the Democratic presidential nomination. In an email to supporters, Booker explains that he simply doesn't have enough campaign money to continue. He's been polling kind of low, so he doesn't really qualify to be on the debate stage in Iowa tonight, but Bookers says that does not mean he's about to disappear. I can't wait to get factle on the campaign trail and campaign as hard as I can for whoever is the eventual nominee and for candidates up at him down the ballot. But for now, I want to say thank you as the senator of the Garden State. Democrat says Trump's impeachment trial will be keeping him busy for the next few weeks, and Booker says he doesn't tend to run for reelection. According to The New York Times, president Trump's trying to take credit for the country's lower cancer rates. American Cancer Society says that the US has experienced the sharpest one year dropping the cancer rate ever recorded. After that, at the time, says Trump took to a Twitter saying US cancer death rate the lowest and recorded history. A lot of good news coming out of this administration. Well, folks at the American Kansas Society gently reminds the president the cancer rate has been dropping over the last twenty six years last time when Obama was president.

We'll talk about Corey buck he dropped out of the Democratic presidential race. We'll talk about it. You're listening to well Steve. Corey Booker is the latest Democratic candidate to drop out of the presidential race. It was hard. That's so fake, you know, Yeah, it was hard. It was hard for Corey to make that decision. He posted a statement on social media, and here's some of Corey's statement. He said, I've made my decision to suspend my campaign for president. I've said throughout this race that this election is not just a referendum on Donald Trump. It's a referendum on who we are and who we must be to each other. Corey Booker went on to say, to my team, supporters and everyone who gave a shot, thank you. I'm so proud of what we built. Okay, can I say something listen, Camelo, Corey. All these people they had good intentions, some of them had great ideas. The problem that we have right now is that Donald Trump has changed politics in this country and this country right now with him as the president, they have given up all pretense of morality. They not even facing or playing like we're trying to be morally correct. The Southern evangelicals have all back Donald Trump. Excuse me, the far right wing religious moral compass of this country, so they've been telling us, is now backing down Donald Trump, who is against everything everything for regular people and only supportive of rich people. Politics is by partisan they have. I've never seen the rights banned together as much as I have with Donald Trump banned together to the right on somebody so wrong, So Kamela Corey with great intentions of the other dude. So you know, so all these people, they all had good intentions, but this, this election is not about good intentions. And no, no, this is not about who's going to be best for the country. All this election is is about power, position, and money, and the right wing will do anything to maintain those three things. And right now it's represented by Donald Trump. Because if you go against Trump, he go against you. So now if you don't back this guy right now in your local elections, he come out against you. So this dude done buffalo and bully the Republican Party when really he's a Democrat at heart, but because he liked democratic dudes. But really, this dude right here, man has change politics. So the good god, this isn't about the good guy no more. This ain't about who best for the country. So all right now is trying to get somebody who can beat Donald Trump. And the only dude in a debate that can stand there and match this dude is Biden. That's it. You got to have two old white men talking about each other and then let all the rest of them decide who they're going to vote for. This got to be two white men talking about each other because he has polarized it. He has made his party about white men. I'm telling you, man, this dude, then gangster politics has changed. Yeah, it's been allowed to. Yeah, I'm sorry. They want to stay in power. So in order to stay in power, they think they should stand behind Donald Trump and support whatever he does, right or wrong, it doesn't matter. They have to stand behind. They come out against him, the trader, the Lord, and then here and then he'll go to the NI and they'll pull the money from their campaign. Yeah he didn't gangster him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Dear Stephen Shirley, I am heartbroken and I need your advice. My boyfriend broke up with me in September of twenty eighteen, and I'm having a difficult time letting him go. We've been close friends since we were in middle school, and we had a deep emotional and physical connection for many years. When he dumped me, he tried to still be friends, but it was awkward for me, so I didn't talk to him much because I needed to heal well. Shortly after we broke up, he met a nice woman and they had only been together six months, and he asked her to marry him. They got married in September twenty nineteen, and he had the audacity to invite me to the wedding. I did not go for a couple of reasons. First off, I wasn't ready to see him walk down the aisle with someone else. And secondly, I did not think it was appropriate for me to attend the wedding since a none of our other friends knew the true nature of our friendship. We were more than friends. I'm his ex boyfriend. His new wife doesn't know about me? Or should I say us? Surely? Surely? Yes? Yes? Huh? You want me to read it again? Okay, Yeah, I said we were more than friends. I'm his We were talking about We're talking about the ter, the writer of the writer, the writer of the letter who says he's heartbroken because he and he needs our advice. His boyfriend broke up with him in September of twenty eighteen, So skipping down. Huh, okay, follow with me, Steve. Okay, he and his boyfriend. His boyfriend broke up with him in twenty eighteen. Uh, we were more than friends? Yes, yes, yes, yes, my boyfriend broke up with me. Okay, I'm gonna you want me to start over you slow, Okay, Dear Stephen Shirley, I am heartbroken and I need your advice. My boyfriend broke up with me in September of twenty eighteen, and I'm having a difficult time letting him go. We've been close friends since we were in middle school. So far, so good, right, Steve and we had and we had a deep emotional and physical connection for many years. When he dumped me, he tried to still be friends, but it was awkward for me, so I didn't talk to him much because I needed to heal well. Shortly after we broke up, he met a nice woman and they had only been together six months, and he asked her to marry him. Then they got married in September of twenty nineteen, and he had the audacity to invite me to the wedding. I did not go for a couple of reasons. First off, I wasn't ready to see him walk down the aisle with someone else. And secondly, I did not think it was appropriate for me to attend the wedding since none of our other friends know that they knew the true nature of our friendship. We were more than friends. I'm his ex boyfriend. His new wife doesn't know about me. His new wife doesn't know about me? Yep, follow along stage. His new wife doesn't know about me? Or should I say us? I am not vindictive and I would never ruin her happiness by sharing this information with her. He got really upset with me for not coming to his wedding because he said everyone was asking why I wasn't there. We have argued about me missing the wedding, and he doesn't understand my side of it or why I'm still hurt. He seems to think we can just go on as friends and hang out on the weekends like we've always done. I've been avoiding his calls and texts, but I do miss talking to him. How should I deal with this going forward? Should I cut ties with him for good? Or do you think time will heal all wounds? Please advise? All right, Sometimes you know you do have to just let things, You have to let people go, you do in life. Sometimes you do that, But in this case, I understand it's harder for you because you guys have been friends since middle school and you've been more than friends. But clearly he doesn't feel the same way as you. Proof he dumped you. He married a woman six months later, and he didn't even tell her about you. That's the proof right there. So it sounds like you were way more into him than he was into you. And he has moved on with his life in terms of a romantic relationship. He's married a woman now. Now he's insensitive? Is he insensitive? I want to ask you that you think he's insensitive and confusing because he seems to be sending mixed messages to you. Absolutely, because he wants to still be friends with you and still hang out like you guys used to do, and all of that. Those are mixed messages. It's confusing, without a doubt, all of that. And and while yes, you asked the question, does time heal wounds? Yes, time heals all wounds, that's what they say. And this so called friendship of yours that he wants to still have and he wants you guys to still you know, be together and all of that, it's as one sided as ever. I think he's a selfish type lover. He just wants what he wants. He's not caring or understanding how you feel about this situation. So I think you really should take a page out of his book and move on with your life, just like he has moved on with you with his whether that be with a woman or another man, whatever your preference. I think you should move on with your life and forget about this guy, because it seems he's done that. Steve, you're all right. Let's just start towards the end of the letter where it says I should I deal with this going forward? That is the question for me to answer on this commercial break. Steve won't come back with an answer for this after the break. The subject my married ex boyfriend wants to be friends. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening to all right, Steve, come on, let's recap today's Strawberry Letters. Subject my married ex boyfriend wants to be friends. I know you were thrown a little bit because we're talking about two guys here. Okay, But now okay, So now, in fairness to me and my radio audience that listens to me, I'm gonna take you on the journey through this letter as I took myself through this letter, because the moment of discovery that I had was doing the reading of the letter. So here's when the letter's reading here's where Steve is thinking. My married ex boyfriend wants to be friends. Acceptable title? Then this Stephen Shirley. I'm heartbroken and I need your advice. My boyfriend broke up with me in September two eighteen. I'm having a difficult time letting him go. I'm familiar with that situation very for me. Not in twenty and eighteen, but this happened in the past. We were close friends since when we were in middle school, and and and and we had deep emotional and physical connection for many years. Been in that, I've been right there, I'm in this letter. When he dumped me, he tried to steal be friends. I tried that with a couple of women before. I tried being a friend, but it was awkward for me. I know, lady, but you know I was cool, So let's just try so. I didn't talk to him much because I needed time to heal. Very familiar with that. Well. Shortly after we broke up, he met a nice woman. They hadn't even together six months. He asked her to marry him. I asked, I, don't they have three people married me. I'm familiar with this right here. I asked somebody to marry me in a minute. They got married in September twenty nineteen. I've been married three times and I don't even remember all the damn date, but that's how many times I've been married. He had the audacity to invite me to the wed now that I've never done. I'm not having your ass come to the wed and run the risk of when they say, does anyone here see any just calls I'm not gonna have you, and said so. I wouldn't do that. That's why I started not being in the letter so much. But you know, and and and they had to das and invite me. Now I'm thinking this woman is saying I didn't go for a couple of reasons. This is what I'm thinking as I'm reading out. First of all, I wasn't ready to see him walk down out. I ain't saying I'm all that, but I'm pretty sure somewhere in my history somebody has felled a sudden loss. I'm just saying yeah with someone else. Secondly, I didn't think it was proper for me to attend a wedding since none of our other friends knew the true nature of our friendship. Well, most of my friends know what I was doing, so I'm backing the letter again. But they knew the true relationship. But then the letter, we were more than friends. This is who the letter took a turn from me and he got throw me. You gotta understand that. Sixty three. I'm just telling i'm his ex boyfriend. Now I've been reading the letter the way I told you. I've been reading the letter. I'm hearing now this is new information. I'm his ex boyfriend, so now I have to find a way to give this advice from a perspective. But it's just like any other relationship, so that's how it has to be hampered. So I'm his ex boyfriend. His new wife doesn't know about me. None of my wife knew about anybody from my past, or at least I tried not. They have come up from time to damn me. I've had some lading into you, but I've just really tried not to have many conversations about that. His new wife doesn't know about me, or should I say us. I'm not vindictive and I would never ruin that happiness by sharing this information about it. Okay, so this is a cool dude, right, I ain't mad at him. This dude, it's all right. He got really upset with me for not coming to his wedding because he said everybody was asking why I wasn't there. Hey, do you don't gonna hear well why he wasn't there? So now for the dude that gotten married? What game you playing Pardner? Talking about? Why wasn't you that? Now? You mad? What to hear? You? Mad? Folk? You got on with your life, didn't get on with your life. You're dragging the dude back up in it? Folk. So then we have argued about me missing the wedding and he don't understand my side of and why I'm seeing what are you arguing with it? Folk? Now here's where I think you can get some justice here. He seemed to think we can just go on his friend to hang out on the weekend like we've always done. I've been aborting his calls in text, but I do miss talking to him, well, not listen to him if he don't understand your side. I'm just gonna say it like this, both of y'all men, right, I ain't got nothing to do with your preference and all like that. You're just men. So I'm just talking. This is I'm talking to two dudes now right, Ain't got nothing to do with your preference. I don't care what it is. Ain't none of my business. God bless you. More power to you. If a dude, if a friend of mine keep talking to me and I ask him leave me alone, let me work some things out, and he keep running his mouth, I'm gonna whop his ass. I'm knocking his ass out because I told you, Hey, dog, I'm trying to pull myself together. What is you over here? Fault? Nah? You keep coming over here arguing we're not been an argy here. I'm knocking your ass out. I'm just talking to the two men here. What your preference is? Again, got nothing to do with me? Walk go over there, go up to his job. When he in lunch, sit across the table, haul off and bust his ass dead in the damn show. That's yours. Just two damn dudes, that's Jesse. But hold up, dog, the hash ideal with this going for at least get an ass whooping. Not to wait, you will feel better. Yeah, cut tis time, we will heal all wounds.

In response to um, Harry and Megan's really like shocking announcement that they were going to spend part of their time in England and then part of their time in Canada, they were stepping down from their major royal duties, the Queen has released a statement because people were saying she was blindsided, so she says today, my family had very constructive decision discussions on the future of my grandson and his family, the reigning Monarch shared in a statement. The Reigning Monarch, of course, being the Queen, my family and I are entirely supportive of Harry Megan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full time working members of a royal family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family. Has anyone spoken to the Earl of Nottingham, Yeah, ye, as a representative of the only black remaining and never heard of in the palace. I'm here to say that the Queen are spoken, and she really does support macle and Harry. I'll just be saying, I, for one, I'm glad they're gone. Maybe now they could recognize me as the only black in the palace. Take they want to be financially independent game and I don't. I want to become more dependent.

I want to be totally financially dependent on the palace. They have everything. Have you been down? They have everything, Butler's servants down.

But don't nobody know him yet because Harry had outside and they ain't never talked about it, but they know it's him because I have told him if you left, you don't let me in it. Yeah. See, I've never gone in public because if you if you let me in the palace, I'll keep my damn. Don't let me in the palace. I'm going to the tabloids. So Earl they've let earl of aulting him. They don't give him no power nothing when he walked around and get all the minutes. But can't I say this though, Steve. I was watching TV yesterday and they were saying that that's one of the reasons why they want to talk to Harry and Megan, why they had that meeting, because they don't want them to do interviews and talk about and go public. So it's kind of like what you're saying, Steve, You don't say know what he's talking about? Yeah, yeah, I still if the counter running, y'all. He's never known anything else, right, this is his inheritance. All of this. She didn't got over there. She unhappy and she wants to start and have their own life, and he's convinced. She's convinced the man and he loves a woman and he trying to make her happy. You got I ain't leaving. Hey hey hey, yeah, the media and everybody and Margie will have another meeting. Hey, you knew what this was. Where as we going and get all this now? We can build a pril behind the castle if you want to. I can have them seal off of Ween Well, that's where they live. They do like that leaving. We ain't got to work. We don't need no damn money. All we got to do is take you. I mean, you know they said that people were telling her to take your black baby and lead. See it's a lot of racial stuff. They said she was dealing. I'm gonna take my black baby. I'm not leaving them. And when you see him, you gonna say your highness when you see him, when you want to be royal, I would that you can't have all that I want to be. I want to be happy. Yeah, I do too. All right, Well, you know Earl of Aldingham. I love how he keeps it on point. He really is on point with this one black people. Yeah, it's universally the same situation. Hey, can I can I share this with you all? Yeah? It's a cool up. Yeah, you know, Um, before we get out of him, I want to share something with you. I've noticed a lot that goes on, especially because of social media and and everything, and just even before social media can happen, so many people predicate their happiness based on comparisons. You know, a lot of people are trying to find their happiness and measure their happiness against someone else's moves makeup layout, plan, and position. That's a dangerous thing everybody, because we have all been set on very very unique paths. No two paths are the same. There are similarities, but no two paths are the same. You are running too the same types of circumstances, but all the circumstances will be different for all of us. So when you start predicating your success and happiness on the comparison of somebody else, you're setting yourself up for majors appointment because there's a great chance, a ninety nine point nine percent chance that that's not your route at all. As a matter of fact, I can assure you that it's one hundred percent chance that it's not your route. You know, two people make the exact same journey. Oh, you can have the same goals, but the route getting there will differ. Each and every one of us would have a different route because we're in different positions, in places and situations in life. So stop comparing yourself to other people success that you're looking for that's not their success. And the reason you shouldn't compare yourself to this is because that's their success, it's not yours. Yours could be slightly different, just as rewarding if you would only look within. But if you're looking for your happiness outside, you'll never be happy and content within. And that happens to so many people. Let their success be their success. Be happy for people. I know that's hard for some people because there's so many haters out here now, but that the haters don't outweigh the good will people. They just don't. It's just the haters are so much louder what they mess. But listen to me. Just you can be happy for somebody. You know. You don't have to support them, but you don't have to tear them down either. Just let them have whatever level of success they're gonna have. If you spent all the time that you're taking comparison looking over the fence at their success and with just tend to your mission, not to your business. Tend to your mission. Get yourself a mission in twenty twenty. Make twenty twenty the year that you have a mission. A mission is something you have to accomplish. This is the mission, and it may not get all completed in twenty twenty, but start the process to tending to your mission. This is my mission this year and lay claim to that, don't worry about nobody else's success, stop comparing yours to theirs, and tend to your mission. You will have a much happier life. You'll get to enjoy who you really are if you just stop compares comparing yourself to who they are. Because I got news for you. The majority of the time, who they are are not what it seems. Those are my closing remarks. Drop it, y'all, have a great weekend for all. Steve Every contests No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
