Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit, back to back down, giving them like theming bus things and it's not me through good Steve to mother st joy. You gotta use that turn you you got to turn to turn them out, got to turn them out, to turn turn the water the water. Come come on your baby, huh, I shall will. Good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man. What an amazing blessing. God has given me my health, my dreams, all of it. God gave it to me. I accept it. I work hard, but man on, man on, man, I work hard is something that He gave me a gift. And that's what I want to talk to you about today, because God has gifted everyone, so I can't help but believe it. You are gifted in some way. Something about you it's specially and unique. That doesn't mean you're the only one that can see? Are you the only one that can write? Are you the only one that can draw, You're the only one that can decorate, Or you're the only one that can network or you're the only one that that's not what it means, or you have a great scientific mind you can figure things out, or you're good and problem solving. You're not the only one, but you are a unique individual. Nobody will travel the exact path that you own. Nobody will have everything happened in a series of circumstances in the order that you're going to have it happened to you. That's what I mean when I say that you are unique. But now because you are gifted, you know you have something you have to do. You know, there's a scripture. It's in Proverbs, Proverbs eighteen and sixteen. I've been trying to be a little bit better at that for you, you know. So when I have an idea and I know where it is, I have somebody looked the scripture up from it handed to me. So it's in Proverbs eighteen sixteen. And this is the layman's term of it. It says a man's gift make room for him and brings him before great men. It is your gift that will make room for you. Now my interpretation of this is this. Now I could be wrong. Please go to your local church, Syner God Temple mosque. Whatever you do and go get clarification. But what my gift has done in making room for me is I've taken it almost in the literal sense. My gift has actually made room for me. It has cleared paths for me. My gift has opened up doors for me. That's what I take it as. It'll make room for you. My gift has is broadened my ability to travel. My gift has opened my eyes to fashion. My gift has caused me to be able to provide for my family. My gift has caused me to be able to reach more people. That's what I'm saying in terms of it will make room for you. That it may be another interpretation. I'm just telling you how I took it, that it's worked out pretty good for me to that understanding. But I'm pretty sure Bishop Jakes, Joel Oldstein, Ken If Alma, you know God, Glenn Staples, Bishop Glenn Staples, these guys give you much better understanding of it. I'm just giving it to you, you know way, I know how I sold you. I just like to keep it right there. But and then it says that it brings you before great men. I mean, you know, it's gonna take you places. It's gonna take you places you never thought of going. You're gonna meet people because of your gift. I told my son, who two of them are good photographers. You'll be taking pictures of great men. And then I messed with him. You already take the pictures, say your dady, you know what, I'm messing with him like that. But that's just me and them just kicking it. But you know, but one day, who knows, you could be shooting the president. You know, you could be shooting some foreign dignitaries. You know, you could be shooting great sport events. You know, you never know where it could take you. But that's your guift. What you gotta do is you gotta get to move and though. See, you can't have your gift and not do nothing with it. See you know what that reminds me of. It's something that my father used to say, get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. He say that all the time. Boy, get up off your butt and move it, because you're sitting on a gold mind. I never really quite got that when I was little, but now that I'm an adult, I got it full well. See a lot of you are sitting You're sitting on a talent or a gift that you have. You're sitting on an ability. I don't care if it's making cakes or pies. That's a gift, man, that's a talent. I don't care if it's the ability to do how that's a gift. Man. Half of you are gifted. A lot of us are gifted, and we're sitting on it, looking at other people, wondering what can I do to make it? You already got something to make it with. If you would just get up off your behind, man quits sitting on that gold mine. Some of you are tech savvy, just a whiz is when it comes to engineering and putting stuff together and cables and wires and computers and stuff. And now you steady looking around trying to figure out, Man, wonder what I can go do? How about you go do that? You know it ain't that hard, man, if you would just take note of what God has given you already. He has given you a gift already. He has already given you a talent. Now the fact that you ain't using it and you're sitting on your tail somewhere, Now, who fathers what we're talking about. Well, what you're blaming God for that? Man, I tell you what, I sit around people all the time who are gifted, and I'm looking at their gifts, and they steady complaining about what they don't have, but will not get up off there behind and use the gifts that God gave them. And it's frustrating. It's gotta be frustrating for you if you're doing it, because it's frustrating for me when I see it. So when these people come to me and ask me for help, I just keep going the same thing over and over. Help yourself, man, do for you use your gift. It's a cat sitting behind the wall right now that's locked up. That's so good at artistry. It's catch in that tattoo and everybody, Man, get out, do it the right way. Quit selling drugs, man, you ain't going where's selling no drugs. You're going to jail. And if that don't do it, somebody gonna get tired of you selling drugs because they're gonna want to sell them over and they're gonna kill you. Let's just keep this thing real for just a second here. Come on, man, get up off your butt because you're sitting on the gold mine, and you're sitting up here. Somebody always looking for a shortcut to the top. Ain't no shortcut. Somebody told me this the other day. Man, the road to success is always under construction. It ain't paved, it's got detour signs on it. It's got slow men working. Sometimes they flip the stop sign. You gotta sit there and wait. Sometime they got slow. That's traffic, that's accidents. Somebody on the road holding up things with a flat tie. Its nails, it's gravels. This spike is everything. The road to success is always under construction. It ain't getting ready to be easy just because you didn't decided to do it. But don't sit around on your behind and complain all the time about what you don't have. My daddy said it, Man, get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. You got a gift, you got a talent, you got something that you can do that could make a way for you. But you won't do it. It is within you. Stop looking around. Here's where people waste the most time on the road to success, looking around at somebody else trying to figure out, Man, how can I do what they did. Do what you do. You ain't jay Z. You ain't. Sorry. I got a couple of your homies told you you rap better than him. But you're not jay Z. Really you're not. You know. All of us then shot at him, but we ain't. Richard Pryor a nice shot, Steve, Bernie Dierre, all of we took some great shots at it. We're not him. Do what you can do. Do you do your gift quick complaining about what you don't have, Get up off your butt because you're sitting on a gold mine. You're listening Steve Morning Show.

I'm fifty six and I've been divorced five years. He's been divorced for two years from the beginning of our courtship. He said he doesn't like labels. This conflicts with his actions because he sleeps with me and gives me a few dollars every now and then. To me, we are in a relationship. I have told him I want a commitment that leads to a wedding. Should I give him more time or give him an ultimatum? Well, you could do whatever you want to, but he told you he ain't into no titles, which is code word for I don't want to be married. Now you you called it a relationship because he didn't gave you some money and what and because he sleeps over you know? Okay, you know, girl, I can't tell you and you you fit sick. I can't tell you how many men in this level. It ain't got trying to come up with no damn title. Sleeping over don't mean that. Y'all have titles, and he ain't gave you one.

Did I say, Junior? You played too much of forgat too late? You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Kevin Hart has been the victim of cancel culture too many times to let it bother him. When it came up in a recent interview, his exact comment was, I personally don't give an ish about it. Okay. His most recent brush with it, and you know he said it. His most recent recent brush with it was back in twenty eighteen, when he announced that he was no longer going to be the host of twenty nineteen Academy Awards because some homophomic remarks he had made ten years before had resurfaced, and he simply stepped down from the job. I remember when we reported that story. The way Kevin sees it, no one's perfect, and to expect him or her to be completely unreal To be that way is to be completely unrealistic, he says. Last I checked. The only way you grow up is from screwing up. I don't know a kid who hasn't screwed up or you know, done something dumb. He went on to say, I've been canceled what two, three, four times? Never bothered. If you allow it to have an effect on you, it will. Personally, That's now not how I operate. I understand people are human. Everyone can change period. Yeah yeah, but you know, it's like we live in a place where people are so unforgiving. They just like when you make a mistake that they wanted to cost you your livelihood. Yeah yeah, like Chrissy. Even when don Imus made that comment about the ruck As basketball team and he lost his job, I was fine with him getting it back eventually. You know what I mean, what do you want to do? You can't just keep beating a person up forever about something they do. And I'm really not about that because the Republican Party right now, the Senators, with the stuff they're doing and getting away with and saying and voting for and claiming as policy, but they still get the whole a job. You could be blatantly outright racist and still hold political office in this country. But if you make a statement that's off color and you in entertainment or the news, your ass got to go. Yeah, he's absolutely correct. Everybody makes mistakes. Yeah, yeah, So good for you, Vin, you know, saying, hey, if you screw up, you know, and we all do, that's where how you learn, all right, Yeah, yeah and other entertainment news.

It is mister Biden's first face to face with Putin as president. Day. They say, you're not gonna have any joint to a press conference when it's all over, They're going to just meet with their individual press corps. Meanwhile, mister Biden has unveiled a national plan to combat domestic terrorism. You know, basically a lot of hate. His plan involves increased sharing of intelligence between various law enforcement agencies and working with tech companies online. The US Attorney General Merritt Garland says it's now going to be a full court press, especially in light of that Capitol Hill riot last January. A number of open FBI domestic terrorism investigations this year has increased significantly. According to an unclassified summary of the March intelligence assessment, the two most lethal elements of the domestic violence extremist threat are racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists and militia violent extremists, and the plan also calls for the hiring of more prosecutors, investigators, and analysts, the Navy's highest ranking officers, stressing the importance of combating racism and misinformation. CNN reports at Admiral Michael Gilday's confronted Republicans during a House Armed Services budget hearing yesterday who were criticizing him because he recommended the book How to Be An Anti Racist for a voluntary reading list for Navy sailors. Now, GOP lawmakers have been questioning the Defense Department's efforts to promote diversity. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin pushed back against similar criticism at a hearing last week because he insists on promoting diversity and inclusion in the ranks. Remember the name Alton Sterling, Wells. Mister Sterling's family has accepted a four and a half million dollars a settlement from the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana for his killing by the local police. For its killing by the local police in twenty sixteen of Alton Sterling, who was just selling CDs outside a convenience store. Police arrived in answer to a call about a man with a gun a white baton Baton Rouge. A cop named Blaine Salomony scene on video tussling with the father of five, shooting him to death. Salomony was fired. Another cop was suspended. However, neither one was ever charged criminally. Alton Sterling's family sued that city for violating his civil rights and claiming that the local government was negligent in the hiring, training, and supervision of this now ex cop who killed mister Sterling. The haters won't like this, but according to a new poll conducted by the Youth Held Charity, the most respected member of the Royal family right now after the Queen is Megan Markle. And finally, the auction for a literal trip into space held over the weekend. The winning bid was twenty eight million dollars. Can't anybody give me some money? Now? Back to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steven Show. Well, we all know that when we achieve a personal goal such as weight loss, we feel better, we look healthier, and our lives become more enjoyable. The de Herb's Full Body Cleans can help you look good and feel great this summer. It's the only cleans you'll hear about on this show, that's for sure. We've all done it to great results. We love it and it's a perfect time for you to do it too. Okay, please welcome to the show. He's gonna tell us all about it. The CEO of d Herbs, mister A D. And we understand the D stands for d Herbs Dolphins Dolphins. Hey, hey, d heye, loving life. I love it. I love it. You sound great and we can only say it's because you're clean on the inside. Sounds clean definitely, Yeah, all right, age, The Dearth Full Body Cleans is different. We know this from any other cleans so let's talk about that. What sets it apart from other cleansers out there? No problem when people think of cleansing, they think they're gonna have to starve themselves to drink some weird concoction. The Dearth cleans is nothing like that. You can eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as your heart's desire. Also, I would add is that most cleanses focus on your coaling, which can give you the illusion of cleansing. Our cleans focus on your entire body. And you guys have heard me say this so many times. You're God blood in your heart, you're liver, you're coling, clean your lungs, your kidneys, you're adrenal class, you're blood in your skin, and probably lastly, our formulas, which are one hundred percent natural, down to the capsules themselves, which are vegetarian capsules. And I would be remember I said, if I didn't talk about the results, you're talking about weight loft between ten to thirty pounds, huge scoots and energy, stronger immune system, clearer skin, and you'll be able to focus and concentrate a lot better. Yes, Lord Jack, that sounds good at it all. So I'll tell you something made. When I came from Africa, right called you. That's right, and I said, a D, I gotta do something. Man, I'm not gonna do the whole twenty one, but so he set me up. I did a ten day clean. I lost nine pounds in ten days. Wow, fantastic. That's amazing, you know, it really is. And in ten days it took all the bloating out and I got myself together. I couldn't stay on it because I had it. I had some special stuff I had to do. A doctor had me on a special program. So he said, you've got to eat certain things at certain times in the day. But for ten days, man, it worked out great. And I wanted to say thank you for man. You drop it Dolph at a hotel in La and I really appreciate it. Man, it was my pleasure. Like I said, whatever you guys need, I'm gonna come running. Period. I love you guys, and we love you too, and we love your product. We loved d Herbs because what it works, you get results. We're not just up here talking. You get results, all right, a D.

We have the President and c e oh, mister ad Dolphin, and we understand D stands for d Earbs. We didn't know that we did some digging a d We did some digging. Okay, okay, Well, summer starts next week, okay, so it is a perfect time to get clean and lean because everybody wants to look good and they're bikinis and all of that, and what would you say to them to get them on board? I would say for anybody that's on the fence right now during COVID season, when the time we're doing so many external things, we're wearing gloves, masks, we're saying six feet apart. But your last line of defense is your immune system, and by doing the De Earth cleans, you're gonna help strengthen that immune system. The one thing that happened during this time period is that I told everyone I am not going to put I is nowhere in the world I'm catching COVID And that was because of the work that I had put in with me and my body. And to this very day that stands. I haven't got it. And that's because I'm putting in the work and I'm trying to stay healthy and I'm eating healthy. I'm doing my part. So therefore I expect my body to do. It's part two and that's what's happening. Okay, all right? I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love it. I do. And you know, of course, all of us know that we spent all last year in quarantine. A lot of us use the time to focus on our health and cleanse from the inside out with the de Earbs Full Body Cleanse. So share a pandemic success story with you. I mean, you just told us what you did, but you you have a particular story you want to share with us. Absolutely, I actually have a personal story from It's about my mom. I don't know if anyone on the panel or anyone's listening has ever went through menopause. My mother was going through menopause and menopause kind of affects your harmonal level and it makes it so your body begins to gain weight. My mom I gained about fifty pounds during this time period and it was driving her crazy and she couldn't figure it out. So she sent me down and she said, look, son, I need some help. So I put her on the program. I gave her the female hermonal formula from de Earths, and I made her cleans every other month for this last year during Kobe season, and at the end of that she was able to lose fifty seven pounds. She's no longer pre diabetic, she doesn't have high blood pressure, she's not on any medications. And that's probably the best thing that ever happened for me and my mom because also during that period, I got a chance to spend more time with her. And the one thing that we did is we walked every Sunday. We walked every Sunday. And now my mom went from walking every Sunday to walking every day and every time she finishes her walk, she texted me and it's such a beautiful team. It warms my heart. My mom is in a healthier place, and I love the fact that she did it during using our product, and you know, it was just a beautiful tea time for me to spend time with her. It was amazing. I loved it, loved it. Well, that's the thing, you know, you can talk about it all day long, but until you actually experience it, you don't really know how well de Herbs works for you.

We could be reading your letters see this here this so we could be reading your letter live on the air, just like we're going to do this one right here, right now. It could be yours. You never know. All right, ladies and gentlemen, It's time for the Strawberry Letter with my good friench Shirley straw Fay. Thank you my good friend junior. Subject. One of my homies is my side piece. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty two year old single man and I started a sexual relationship with a female that hangs out with me and my boys. She's like one of the boys, and we party together, work out together, and she travels with us on our annual guys trips. She is a good friend and we respect her and her sexual preference. We've never talked about her love life, but I assume she never dated a man before. We've been friends since middle school and she has always been a pretty girl. She's tall, with nice legs, a six pack, and pretty feet. She's a woman by all means, but she hangs out with all of us dudes. Four months ago, we all went to a strip club and we were popping bottles in our VIP section all night. I was a little more intoxicated than she was, so she was my designated driver for the night. She crashed on my couch like she's done so many other times before. I went to bed, but in my drunken state, I could not stop thinking about how pretty she was lying on my couch, and I imagined how soft her big breath were. What. I got up and offered her my bed. She said she would come to my bed only if I stayed in it too. She got up and started taking her clothes off and walked into my bedroom. The rest is history. I wanted to be sure we did not have sex just because we were drunk, so I tried it again next morning, and she was with it. We have been secretly having sex for three months because she has a girlfriend and we're not sure how our other friends will react. I don't want her. I don't want to be her secret side piece anymore. Should I have a talk with her and see where she stands on dating a man, or control my feelings and enjoy the great sex? Wow? The great sex? He said? Okay, I think you know you like her way more than a friend. Now, otherwise you wouldn't care if she remained a secret or not. You know, for this reason, you've got to talk to her, and if she feels the same way, she's gonna have to tell her girlfriend at some point. What's hard to believe is that for three months, you guys haven't talked about it at all, not at all. I mean that could mean two things. Either she likes things status quo or she's waiting for you to make the first move. You, on the other hand, don't want to cut off the great sex by saying anything that could rock the boat. You don't want to be the secret side piece anymore, you say, But you're making the sacrifice for the great sex. Okay, but it's time. It is time. Now, it's been three months or ninety days, and you know how we feel about ninety days around here. Steve taught us all about the ninety day rule. Okay, so again I say it's time. It's risky, you know, but if you really want her, go ahead and shoot your shot. I mean, you gotta jump in the deep end. That's the only way you're going to find out how she really feels about you. Is it more than a secret side piece. And what is it going to be after that? Steve, let's go, thirty two year old dude. Got this woman that's been one of the guys for so long, going all the guy trips, hang out with the dudes, they go to strip club, they get drunk, she's the designated driver. They drive home and next thing you know, he's laying in bed drunk thinking about her breast. And so he gets up and she's sleeping on the couch like she's done many times. He offers her the bed. She said she'd take the bed only if he stayed in it. This is all we need to know, and this is all he was hoping for. Now he was laying that couldn't stop thinking about how pretty she was laying on the couch. She's an attractive girl. Now remember now she gets tall, she got nice legs, six pack, pretty feet. I got your dog. I'm in tall, pretty, nice feet, six pack. You could just be tall and pretty with defeat. You don't really need a six pack for me, because well, hell I don't. Hell, I've learned in my life. I've learned in my life. And they don't need to ask him. Somebody to do something you ain't gonna do, you know, So here we go. Now, she started taking her clothes off and walked into your bedroom, and the rest is history. I wanted to make sure we did not have sex just because we was drunk, so I tried it again in the next morning, and Lord her mercy, she was with him. We have been secretly having sex for three months because she has a girlfriend, and we're not sure how our other friends will react. So Shirley right there. They have discussed it to a degree. Yes, how the other friends will react if they knew it. Now. The problem we got now is he wants more. And when we come back, I'm gonna tell you what your options are. Dog, all right, thank you, Steve. We'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Subject of today's letter, one of my homies is my side piece. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Come on, Steve, let's recap today's strawberry letter. Subject one of my homies is my side piece. Well, this guy has been friends with this girl for a number of years, since middle school. She's very pretty, tall, nice legs, six packs, pretty feet, but she saw it has relationship he assumes with jess women, and so she's days because she's best been one of the guys traveling with him. Well, they all went to a strip club one time, they popping bottles in the VIP section. He had a little bit more than he should have had to drink. She was just designated driver. She drove him home. He went upstairs to bed. She slept on the couch like she has done many times, but in this drunken state, he claims, he could not stop thinking of how pretty she was laying on the couch and was imagining what her big pretty breast would be like. Well, yeah, I on, U can't just lay there. She downstairs, So he got up, went downstairs and offered her the bed. She said she would take the bed only if he stayed in it. Lord Lord Himmers, let the church say a man and Hallelujah glory. So she takes her clothes off and she walks into the bedroom. I can only imagine what he's thinking, Oh, my lord, And they did it so to make sure that they wasn't because they was drunk. He tried it again the next morning. She was with it again. Now they've been secretly having sex for three months now because she has a girlfriend and we're not sure how other friends will react, which I'm telling you now means that they've discussed what they would think if the other friends found out. Now his dude's problem. I don't want to be her secret side piece anymore. This that's going on in the past three months been good. Yeah, this side he's thing ain't working for me no more. Man, we needs to go public. Now. Should I have a talk with her and see where she's stands on dating a man or control my feelings and enjoy the great sex? Well, here we go. I'm glad you called me. See, as far as I'm concerned with that proposal that you're putting forward, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Let's say you ask her how she feels. The only thing you have to be prepared for is for the answer. So you want to go to her and say you want to see if you want to talk with her and see where she stands on dating a man or control your feelings and enjoy the great sex. Now, supposed she says she prefers women, what you have to be prepared for that because she may say I prefer women, which puts you right back where you at. Now she's gonna keep her girl for any of y'all just gonna hear a great sex. But there is a magic show. Everybody gets something out of this. You reach your int the hat, you get a rabbit. You reach in the hat, you get a rabbit. You get a rabbit. You get everybody get a damn rabbit out of this trick. So now I don't see what the problem is. And she may just want you to remain on the side, which again makes you the side piece. But you want more. And now the part that you didn't mention. And if I was you, I wouldn't worry about how your friends would react because I got news for you. I promise you, I give you my word. All of them and thought the same thout it. Every last one of them know she got nice legs, pretty feat six package, sheep pretty all of them know that they just been trying to play the game. Because y'all thirty two, y'all young, I'd have been an ass to something long time ago. Hey, I know how you roll, but we I mean, we're good with that. I'm gonna share something with you all way way back my early thirties. I've been in love with four people who had other who were you know, females who like females and probably foulk. And well it's no big deal. It ain't really nothing. I just you know. They asked me how I felt about it, and I told them that I was a lawsbian too, that I preferred other women myself, and that's how I would try to get around. He didn't work. They laugh, They thought it was very cute joke, but but I was so dead serious, and I told them they could refer to me that way if they wanted to, So you know, it didn't work out. They were gorgeous. Uh. One of them had girlfriend who was more masculine, and she approached me one time and said she don't appreciate that, and if I don't step off, she gonna do something to me. And well she looked like she could whoop my ass. So I said, okay, I stepped off. Okay, it didn't look like I was gonna be a whoop us, So I stepped off. You know what I mean, Why we ain't got to fight over this? I ain't that See, it's knowing stories involving fighting. Well, it was not gonna be a fight right here because it didn't look like a win for me. Because she say leave it like it is. Then we right back where we had. He worried about that. He will He don't want to be a side piece. No more shit. All right, take us out. Thank you. Steve Poster comments on Today's Strubberry Letter and Steve Harvey FM on Instagram and Facebook.

You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Listen to this. The Senate unanimously passed a bill making juneteenth a federal holiday, establishing June nineteenth as juneteenth National Independent to Day. This is a major step after this resolution has been blocked in the past by Republican senators. The measure needs to pass the House and be signed by President Joe Biden. Now, on June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, Major General Gordon Granger announced in Galveston the end of slavery in accordance with the eighteen sixty three Emancipation Plot colamoration. All right, this is wonderful news. So Juneteenth now will be a federal holiday if it gets passed in the in the House, and yeah the president, yeah, Texas already. Yeah, but if they mean day off with pay for government workers, if it's federal, yeah, I'm not really excited about it because we see. I don't like the way they do, because this is an appeasement. Let's give them June teenth, but while we take away they vote and rights. Yeah, they just they real sleep and and and shysty with what they do. Whenever they give something, it's because they're gonna take something. They don't give nothing in this country. Man, you're right, you're right. And speaking of that, Steve, speaking of Juneteenth, when we all vote. Dot org has declared Juneteenth a weekend of action. So they're asking that you gather your friends, your family and register them to vote. Our voting rights. Like you said, Steve, are being threatened all over this country. So once again, go to When We All Vote dot org and click on the Juneteenth tab to see all the details. So we want you to stay woke. Steve Harvey Nations, stay woke. Listen to me. This is a trick. I'm telling y'all This Republican Senate don't give a damn about June teenth. How dare they pass this thing to make us feel like they're doing something when behind the scenes, what they're really doing it's stopping us from voting, making it harder to vote, making it damn the impossible to register a certain places, cutting back on polling places they didn't took mailboxes up. Man, Now, this is an evil, evil ass political country we live in. Don't you dare get comfortable to my Yeah, they're giving us June team. Don't you think for one minute that they're giving us June teenth for without a reason. It just so happens. This is on the heels of all this voter suppression. Don't y'all see this? So what they gonna give you one day you can celebrate your being free two years after mancipatient, And now we're gonna get excited about that na man. Y'all ass trying to make us go to sleep so we don't vote. Y'all are taking away everything in Texas, Georgia, Arizona, they come in Man, Florida, all these states, these red states. They showing up the redlining districts. They're fixing it so that they will be in power next time. That's what they're doing. And this little black ass appeasement move here, y'all hot with this Senate, These racist ass senators trying to all of a sudden say that January six was a peaceful move movement. They don't even give a damn about Blue lives matter no more. That's how funky they are when it comes in their power and position.

Don't fall for this mess right here, this some old cracker barrel general stowass mess. All this is. I'm not falling for this.

Several months ago, I'm fifty six and I've been divorced five years. He's been divorced for two years from the beginning of our courtship. He said he doesn't like labels. This conflicts with his actions because he sleeps with me and gives me a few dollars every now and then. To me, we are in a relationship. I have told him I want a commitment that leads to a wedding. Should I give him more time or give him an ultimatum? Well, you could do whatever you want to, but he told you he ain't into no titles, which is code word for I don't want to be married. Now you call it a relationship because he didn't give you some money and what and because he sleeps over. You know, Okay, you know, girl, I can't tell you and you fit six. I can't tell you how many men a slepl ain't got trying to come up with no damn title. Sleeping over don't mean that y'all have titles. He gave you one. Now, you have every right to want what you want. So you could want what you want, and you can make an ultimatum, but you have to be prepared for the response because he gonna go back to what I told you in the beginning. Now. Women always think they can change a man, and he might. Yeah, alright, alright, Amelia, did you hear that? Say it again, Celo, He's getting what he wants. Now, you got to see if you can get what you want? Right? All right, here we go, catrise and Tupolo Mississippi, says Tupelo Tippoo, Mississippia. I'm a forty eight year old single mother of an eighteen year old son. I woke up to a big commotion recently, and it was my son having sex with his girlfriend in the shower. I have asked him repeatedly to stop sneaking her in my house. I talked to her mom about the incident and She said, her daughter is eighteen and grown. I make sure my son has condom and I suggested to the girl that she get on some kind of birth control. The girl's mom said, I'm wrong for meddling in their sex life. Is she crazy or am I doing too much? Yeah? Yeah, the woman is crazy. But you have every right to make rules at your house. That's your house. You can make all the rules you want. Now, he eighteen, he's sneaking his girl in the house, but he ain't got no sense to be quiet. See what he need is a room or an apartment, yes, or go over her mama house, who ain't got no problem with none of this because she'll stay in her business. So tell your son take all that over her mama house because she cool with it, but you ain't. Now, you got every right to set the rules up in your house, and he has to respect them. Amen to that. Okay, moving on, y'all need to go down park and miss it somewhere, all right, Steve coming up our last break of the day. Closing remarks. Okay, get ready people, right after this, you're listening, all right, guys, Here we are our last break of the day on this Wednesday, it's been a great day, and uh yeah, I mean really we've had fun. Tommy still on vacation this week, and Steve, what's on your mind for a closing this morning? You know, it's what we were talking about a little while ago. And I can't you know, I mean congratulations, but the Senate is passing a federal holiday to make June teenth a federal holiday. I mean, thank you, thank you, it's about time, thank you by partisanship, and it's great, but it passes in this Senate. Now as I'm sitting here, I'm listening to them, I'm thinking, and why, just days before the nineteenth, are they passing the recognition of a day that only matters to black people. It don't matter to nobody else but black people. How is this Senate who is so not about inclusiveness, who is so not about equality, who is so not about sharing the power and the wealth, all of a sudden, so willing to give us this national holiday called Juneteenth, not the people that have fought for Congratulations. You have a victory. And I don't want nobody to get mad at me because I don't. I don't. I'm not talking against Juneteenth. I'm talking against the Senate who gave us Juneteenth as a federal holiday. Y'all. To me, this is a straight trick move. This is them again. Listen to me. First of all, men in general don't do anything for no reason. Just men in general, we don't do anything for no reason. But when you're dealing with politics, everything they vote is for a reason, and it is very very important, as we've learned in politics, that they hold the party line, and the party line is whatever Donald Trump say. And he's out of office. So this narcissistic person loses an election, says I really won the election. When you lost by seven million popular votes, you lost the electoral college vote by the same margin you beat Hillary Clinton, and you lose it by the same margin and a wider matter of fact, you lost the popular vote, but you won the electoral vote and you won, and it was all fans square, and Hillary went somewhere and set out well. In this case, Joe Biden won the popular vote by seven million and the electoral college vote, and you decided with your narcissistic self that I have decided that I won anyway, and they stole the election, and you know, good in hell, well, ain't nobody stole nothing, because your ignorance says, where did thee's vote came come from? From the mail? From the mail that you knew would come in. That's why y'all took up all those mailboxes before the election was over, because you was trying to stop the mail because the Democrats got ahead of you with Stacy Abrams and started a huge maleian campaign which whipped y'all. And now this guy has claimed that the whole election is stolen, and the Senators, since he had such a high voter turnout for Donald Trump, has decided that since those people support him and still love him and they want to stay in their graces, they're gonna go along with the lie. Are you serious? And you have no proof? With all the Republicans that's in the election committees of all these states, why don't they come up with the proof that the election was stolen? Because y'all know it's a lie, but you're buying into it and you're selling it because you want your power in your position. And these senators right here who have put forth listened to this since Donald Trump lost, these same senators have put forth over four hundred bills to prevent it voting rights to stop and suppress voters from voting legally, and the way we did in the last election. Over four hundred bills have been introduced by these same senators. Why are they giving us a damn June teeth because they want us to give us something. So when they take what they really want, the vote back, you can have your damn holiday that They don't give a damn about it anyway. So what we get another day off with pay? So damn what is that worth? Your freedom? Is that worth the voting power that we have that we showed them that we have see we showed them something in this last election, and they don't want us to show it to them again. We voted in record numbers. We changed the outcome in Detroit, we changed the outcome in Milwaukee, we changed the outcome in Philly, we changed the outcome. In Atlanta. The outcome got it exchanged. In Arizona, that's been a red state, they flipped blue. They don't want this to happen again, so they don't gave us happy June teenth. I don't want your damn June teenth. I want to vote y'all out. We are going to register more people than we registered last time. We are going to stand in line early like we did last time. We are going to vote eagerly legally. We are going to educate all our voters and Governor Kemp, you will not be governor of the State of Georgia next time. We're voting into mid terms like we do in general elections. By to all y'all. Y'all have woke up to sleeping giant and we always now so you can keep your journey teeth. We want our vote. Thank you.
