Y'all know what time y'all don't know y'all back a suit on, looking back to back down, giving them more like the milan buck things in the cubbing good it, Steh listening to the movie together for study. I don't join joining me. You gotta turn you, you gotta turn the turnour got to turn out. Then turn the water, the water go me. Come come on your fad uh huh, I sure will a good morning everybody. You are listening to the VARs, come on dig me now, one and only. Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh man, oh man? How good is God to me? And part of the mission and the reason that I have a radio show is to become a share of more and more of a share of you know. I used to hear my mother say it to me all the time. But God blesses you to become a blessing. And I think the more you understand that about yourself, I think the more blessings will flow your way. I think that once you understand the principle, that you know it. But it's kind of tied together with some other scriptures, and I'm not too knowledgeable about them, of course, as usual, but I do know what I've heard you know, and you know if you look at something simple as do unto others as you would have them do unto you, wouldn't you want somebody to help you if you needed help. I just know how to get it down there to where I've been able to understand it. If there's a scripture similar that it says do unto others as you would have them do unto you, or if that's you know in a prayer, would not you want somebody to help you if you needed help? You've heard you reap what you sow. Do you understand that if you so discord, that discord is gonna come your way. That if you hate, hate gonna come your way. If you blog nothing but negative comments about people, your life will be filled with negativity. If all you do is talk about people, then guess what somebody got to turn that gun around and talk about you. See, it just stands to reasons. So what I've learned in my life and through all the miles and tribulations that I've had, is to take those lessons and share them with people in case you ain't heard it from somebody else. See sometimes and the reason it seems like I'm redundant at times, is what I am is because I'm always trying to find a different way to say the same thing. Because it's a funny thing. Man, You got to hear it a certain way for it to click with you. How many times have I heard a saying and then I heard it a different way that it clicked with me? You know, I've heard of this saying right here, remember this now, everybody's not happy for you. We've all heard that, right, everybody's not happy for you. Well, that's very simple that I don't need no explanation. That simply means of all the people you know or do not know, when something happens to you and you celebrating, everybody's not going to join in on the celebration. That's all that is. But then you take it one step further. My father used to say something to me all the time. He says, son, everybody come with you, can't go with you. I didn't get that when I was fifteen. Everybody come with you can't go with you. He said, you're gonna lose some of these friends you got along the way. But I don't care where you get in life. No, this right here, everybody can't go with you. If you are constantly trying to improve yourself, you constantly have to take assessment of the people around you. Because if you are going to continue to go and continue to grow, then guess what you got to have people that's on the goal and willing to grow, or else guess what you're gonna learn the valuable lesson. You know, the late boxing promoter Butch Lewis. I was talking with Butch Lewis one time, and man with a good brother man, he say, every successful man's doing what I call he got rope work to do. He got rope work to do. He got to put in work on rope. And I'm sitting there listening to Butch Lewis and all the money he had made and all the people's lives he had changed, and all of the moves he was making, and his incredible skills as a negotiator on behalf of some very very wealthy people. He was just an amazing man with no education. But he read everything. He Butch Lewis read all that, all the papers, all the periodicals. That brother knew everything. He said, you got to put in rope. And I was sitting there listening. He said, here is the analogy, little brother. He said, you are on rope. There's a thick rope. You have on no shirt, you have on some tattered clothes. You have on no shoes. Your shorts is cut off just below the knee, and they tattered, and you got dirt on you and you're sweating. There's this huge, huge raw rope over your shoulder that's burn marks on all of your shoulder. Connected to that rope is a wagon. That wagon has all your weight on it, all your responsibilities, all the people you're responsible for, all your children, your wife, your family members, your employees, your coworkers, your friends. They all on that wagon. Man, they're just sitting there. He's saying, what you gotta do is you gotta pull that wagon up the heel. The only thing with it is, can't nobody help you pull your wagon. You pull your wagon alone. He saying, Now, what you can do along the way of pulling your wagon, as you can find yourself a good wife, a good woman. He's saying that what that woman does is she get down off the wagon. She fan you while you pull it. She put water on you while you pull it. She put stuff in your mouth while you pull it. She kicked rocks out the way while you pull it. But she but she pull it for you. But she is equally as important as you are on the pull of the rope. He said, you hear me clearly now, young soldier. He said, NA get this hell, He says, people on your wagon that you're responsible for. But you want the people on your wagon to help you get your wagon to the top. So what you hope is that they got their foot hanging over the side pushing, They got one leg over the back, or maybe both legs over the back pushing. They got they might have their butt on the wagon, but they push you with both legs. They're back facing your back, maybe some of them facing you when one of them got left leg hanging over trying to push. And you hope that all the people on the wagon you pull it is back there at least trying to help the wagon get to the top of the hill. Here goes your problem. Though everybody ain't pushing, everybody ain't pulling, ain't bear, everybody ain't pulling, Everybody ain't kicking rocks out the way. You got some people on your wagon that's just laying on the wagon drinking lemonade, looking at you, talking about how long it's taking you to get your wagon up to the top, looking at you, telling my whitest wagon, so slow. Then when you start picking up picking up speed, they want you to pull harder, you to pull faster, you to pull mole. Then they want you to throw what you then earned on the way up the hill backed on the wagon so they can have MO. But guess what, they ain't helping you get more. But they got a sense of entitlement that since you got mold, they should have MO. Everybody come with you can't go with you. Sometimes you gotta kick the people off the wagon that ain't pushing and pull it and say, hey man, I'm sorry. I thought I could do this with you, and I thought you was going with me. But it's clear to me you ain't nothing but dead weight. And it ain't my responsibility to carry dead weight anymore. I have carried you as long as I have to carry you. You are no longer my responsibility. I'm responsible for my family, my wife, my children. I'm not responsible for you. You got to get off my wagon because I'm a man on rope. I'm on a mission, baby, I'm pulling. You're listening show, Ladies and gentlemen, please please your undivided attention.

But then I can, but then you can exactly exactly, Steve. It's but it is the most blatant show of Here's here's what throws me about the Republican Party. Their beloved Constitution, that their beloved forefathers wrote that they hang on their walls and they put it in your face when it comes to anything, anything at all, if it comes to freedom of speech, if it comes to the second of men meant to write to bear arms. They weighed that constitution, but when one of them violates the constitution, they stopped waving it. They put it right now, they set it down, act like they never read it. Don't give a damn what's in that constitution. He'd do what he want to do. Steve Harvey Morner Show will address it all today. What you got, Sharley, Well, you know Bernie Sanders too is a little um oh yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, but we'll be back with more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show coming up at thirty two after the hour, talk about more political news and Bernie Sanders right after this. You're listening to show, all right, So Democratic President Joe Canada to Bernie Sanders has canceled all campaign appearances due to a health issue. Bernie, of course is mister Sanders. I should say it's seventy eight years old. He was hospitalized in Las Vegas last night after experiencing chest pains. Doctors discovered a block to artery and inserted too. Then Bernie's campaign says he's resting comfortably now is and is in good spirits. It has cleared his schedule until further notice. Wow, he is, he's cleared his schedule now, so he needs some rest. Yeah, seventy eight, he is the oldest. Yeah he Sidney. Yeah yeah, he has to recover. Yeah he really does get well. Yeah, Yeah, he's gonna it's gonna take a minute now. I wish him well though, I really do. And campaigning it's hard. I mean, this is not easy. Okay, Yeah, it's they've been doing this for I mean it's going to be over a year when it's all said and done. You know, he did it before, and he did it before. Yeah. Yeah, So you got to be in some shape, don't you. You need to be fit. Huh. Yeah, well you know, I mean it's it's mentally grinding, you know. I mean you got same questions. You got to speak to crowds of people. You gotta do interviews, you gotta debates, you got to raise money. Yeah, you know, he is stressful. He stressed very much. So you you have in trouble getting in and out the CARDI and your hands don't need to be president. That ain't distress. We're talking about the problem. Rocking your way out. Yeah, people, mister president, get out the car. We're here. Yeah, it's a bit visual right now. Oh my coat, give me your head, boy, let my arm go. This is what you don't want to hear from you. Yeah, who has the presidential in halom? Oh? Gosh yeah, who has the presidentially? Yeah? But we wish him the best. A speedy recovery for Bernie Sands, definitely, yeah, mister president, mister president, do you have your night? Wow? All right, go out there and get them tiger. I remember six minutes. I'll throw another one. Catch it with your mouth. Got the president up there like he all sealed, trying to catch his mads and other political news guys. President Trump accuses the Democrats of wasting everyone's time and energy on b S. Yeah he said it, well, but he said it Tommy, just dude, Yeah, I don't care say it again. On what did he do? Didn't didn't he What do you do with the girl? Well, girl, stormy stormy day from his pres Oh he did all that though, ain't nothing, but he's the president. Come on for Sureley, did you see what he was talking about Pompey versus Adam Shift and how qualified Pompey was and then he said Adam Shift couldn't carry his blank strap. And you know, I don't want to use the word because think I'm so awful, but he couldn't carry his blank strap. And you know what I mean, Dog, if you're gonna type out the whole word b asked, I think it's okay to say jock strappy, I really do. Dog. You got the dumbest way of deciding horse fair at what eight horse best and horse not? That's why, Man, when you get a person that's never been poor, that's never served people, that's never had to care for anyone, he can't govern a nation of people who need things. He can't, Nope, because if you need anything, you cannot expect to get it from a person who's never needed nothing. He doesn't understand that kind of need. Also Steve, during yesterday's press conference, take a listen when journalists Jeff Majors asked the president what does he want Ukraine's president does Zelensky to do about issues with Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Take a listen. We have the president of Finland ask him a question. I have one for him. I just wanted to follow up on the one that I asked you, which did you hear me. You want did you hear me? Ask him a question? I will, but giving you a long answer. Ask this gentleman a question. Don't be rude. No, sorry, I don't want to be rude. I just wanted you to have a chance to answer the question that I asked to answer. Everything it's a whole hoax. And you know who's playing into the hoax, people like you and the fake news media that we have in this country. And I say, in many cases the corrupt media, because you're corrupt. Much of the media in this country is not just fake, it's corrupt. And you have some very fine people too, great journalists, great reporters, but to a large extent, it's corrupt and it's fake. Ask the president of Finland the question. Please, no, I won't that rect or run out right now? So now now you canna tell me how to do my job. You gonna tell me how to do Here's a problem when this president keep talking about something is fake and something is corrupt, and you can put that up in the same sensence. This is the same time when he said he's coming to DC to drain the swamp. Well, he drained the swamp. He filled it with all new creatures. He has the most corrupt administration in the history of this government. More people that work for him are doing time and have had positions with him who are now doing time right now, and some now are facing time. Yeah. So when you talk about corrupt this this has a lot of nerves. The sad part about all of this is that the staunch Republican, the Donald Trump supporter, doesn't care what he does. And I just ask people, I wanted this. This is the president of the United States. Would any of you want your son to grow up to be Hill? No, m easy, he's a He's a bully. This dude, call Michael Cohl. Did you all see the meme that was going around? Uh? Did you send it to? Somebody? Send it?

Okay, all right, all right, Steve. Time now for today's headline, Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Tripp, thank you very much everybody, and good morning. This is a trip with the news. While Dallas's black community digesting the bittersweet end of the Amber Geiger case this morning. After deliberating for only ninety minutes on Monday, the jury found the now fired white Dallas cop guilty of murdering her black upstairs neighbor, murder, not the lesser charge of manslaughter, and Attorney Benjamin Crump reminded folks, then, just who the innocent victim? Botham Jean was the best that we had to offer, twenty six year old college educated black man, certified public accountant working for one of the big three accounting firms in the world, Price Waterhouse Cooper. This verdict is for trey Vin Martin. It's called Michael Brown, It's for Sandra Blake. However, Judge Tammy Ken announced the jury's decision about the sentence yesterday, and it was much lighter than many had anticipated. The jury fined unanimously that the defendant did not cause the death of both of them john while under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause, and assess the defendants punishment at ten years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. In addition, we assessed to find of zero dollars, and you will receive credit for any back time that you had. Now, so many people took to the streets last night to protest that ten year term. The reason well because before the jury decided on the sentence, the prosecutors showed them some of Geiger's racist and violent posts over the defense's objection. The jury was shown how she answered a friend's remark about the Martin Luther King Junior parade one day and how long it would go on. Geiger answers, well, until MLK is dead. Oh wait, like in a joke. Then she adds just pushed them or pepper spray them in their direction, in other words, to disperse the black crowd. Another tech suggests that she adopted German shepherd. Although it may be racist. Geiger says, oh that's okay, I'm the same. I hate everything in every but y'all. One Pinterest reads, I wear all black to remind you not to mess with me because I'm already dressed for your funeral. Another one reads people are so ungrateful, no one ever thanks me for having the patience not to kill them again. After seeing all of that, the jury gave Geiger only ten years. She's reportedly eligible for parole in five. By the way, Amber Geiger is the first female member of the Dallas PD to be found guilty of murder. The last time a jury convicted any Dallas cop and murder was in the seventies, but in the last three years, four Dallas County officers have been indicted for murder, and Geigo is Geiger rather is the third to be convicted. Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said to be resting comfortably after undergo and could proceeded to address a blocked artery yesterday today as national make that big announcement day, whatever it is.

You're listening while a Dallas jury sentence Dallas police officer amberg Geiger to ten years in prison for fatally shooting both of John as he ate a bowl of ice cream in his own apartment. The state asked the jury to sentence Amber to twenty eight years. That was the age both of John would have been this year. The ten years sentence punishment was met with booze and jeers by a crowd gathered outside the courtroom. One woman said the sentence was a slap in the face. However, in a stunning moment, both of John's brother, Brent. John told Amber Geiger on the stand inside the courtroom, I forgive you and go to God. Take a listen. Let speak for myself. I forgive you, and I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you. And I don't think anyone could sit again. I'm speaking for myself, not even bad on my family. But I love you just like anyone else. I'm not gonna say I hope you rot and die. It's just like my brother did. But I see I personally want the best for you, and I wasn't gonna ever say this in front of my family or anyone. But I don't even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you because I know that's what That's exactly what both of them would want you to do, and the best would be gave your life to Christ. I don't know if it's possible, but can I give her a hug? Please? Wow? Wow, what another different kind of human man. But they said the same thing about his brother, I mean about both. You know he was that kind of guy. It's just such a guy. When I watched this on television yesterday, it all right, It really choked me up man, because I was feeling that young brother man because he he has to he has to live with this the rest of his life, and he chose not to make hate a part of the rest of his life, right right. That that's a special person to be able to fix in your mind the correct way. Now, I don't know that about me. I don't I don't know that about me. I don't know, absolutely, absolutely not. I don't know that I could have. I appreciate it. He made me pause and think, but I do not know if I could have done it exactly his way. I could have maybe done a version of it. I know. I know for a fact. We're not hugging that. I know. But you did you did hear what he said us? No? No, no, I understand exactly what he said, and it was most powerful. I have a closing remark I'm gonna do about that. I've been thinking about this, so I'm gonna save my remarks because he said that's what his late brother would have wanted. You know. Wow, Yeah, that was stunning a human being. I was. I don't know if I can reach that. So let me ask hunt. You probably noticed when they give you ten years this is not federal. What do you really get in all actuality? Well, he she can be up for parole in five years. Okay, yeah, wow, Now that this was a jury sentence though, right, the judge didn't do this right, Yeah, it was different. I didn't know juries could give out sentencing like that. That was I was kind of surprised to hear the jury did the actual sentencing. Yea. When Tommy asked that question yesterday and we were like, judge, yeah, you said, who's going to send her? But in this case, yeah, it was the jury. Wow. Wow. Well, God, God bless the John family. Yeah, just God bless them.

Thank you, nephew. Subject. I am not the one to play with, Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a fifty four year old black professional man who has been married for twenty five years. I am six six and two hundred and seventy pounds, and I am not to be played with. But my wife seems to think she could play me and get away with it. We're in the middle of a divorce now because I found out that she was taking and sending nude pictures to an ex boyfriend. I also found out that she'd been having an affair with the guy for almost a year. When I confronted her, she told me that she's been unhappy for a long time and she needs more. I filed for divorce immediately, But as I mentioned, I am not the one to be played with, So I went to visit the guy she was sleeping with. You. When we read that line again, seventy went to visit me. He went to visit the guy. He went to visit the guy that she was sleeping with. I told him that I knew everything and that he could have my wife. This guy said that he's married and what he my wife had was just a fling. He said he'd never leave his wife for her or anyone else. So I found his wife and I went to see her too. It was all in my plan to get revenge, but I didn't expect for his wife to be as fine and pretty as she is. I told her about my wife and her husband's affair, and she was not shocked or upset. She said she knows her husband as a cheater. She started flirting with me and eventually told me that she has needs of her own that are not being taken care of. Well, well, you know, I offered to help her with her needs and she couldn't resist. So here we are months later, and we both have admitted that we're falling for each other. There is nothing better than revenge. But but I don't want my new woman to find out it was all a gain in the beginning. Should I keep our affair a secret a little longer or should I show my wife that two can play that game? Please advise, Steve Nah, Please advise Steve, you ain't that's right. Well, I mean, you know, this is just a big old nasty mess here. Um, I didn't think just like apparently, I don't see. Not to interrupt you, but mine is not gonna start off with this a big old nasty man. Okay, well it is all right, thank you, sir. I just didn't think like everyone else that this letter was gonna end up like this. I thought it was gonna be some fighting. You know, maybe I don't know something a little more serious than how this ended up. Now it seems like everyone is just one big happy family. You're with his wife. Uh, he's with your wife. Except for your wife. When she finds out, um, you know how her side piece, you're your girls. H new girl's husband feels about her, She's not gonna be too happy. It's gonna be quite a blow to her ego and her self esteem. Uh you were pretty easy, huh. She was that fun and that pretty huh. And it was an opportunity. So now you guys are are are involved in a relationship. So it looks like, uh, what you guys are gonna just do a trade off thing. You know, her husband is gonna have something to say about this because he's not interested in leaving his wife. He's just not what is wrong to get to the bottom of girl. You know, I just this this. You know you you guys do what you do. I mean, if that's what you think. Revenge, This is all about revenge and everything. I mean. The thing for you to do, if you really want to be with her, of course, is to go ahead with a divorce proceedetings with your wife and to marry this woman if she divorces her husband. Other than that, you guys are all having an all having an affairs. Jesus. All right, Steve cool? Thanks Sherley, Shelly, listen, I want to compliment. You pay your compliment. You did a wonderful job. You did as best she could. That problem, well, Shirley, you know the problem you have with this letter is he said, Steve, please advise Steve. He knew, Shelly, he knew. You can't. You can't help him because you're not gonna feel what he feels. And it's understandable. It's some letter, Shirley, where you take a woman's perspective and you touch on a lot of stuff I don't think of because you have an angle I don't have, so I respect that this fitting for your man. I'm not the one to get played with. Did the older damn letter? With? What this letter about? Been married twenty five years? And here the facts before we get any other fact. I'm fifty four, been married twenty five years. I damn to half my life. But now hear what you need to know. I'm six six and two seventy and I am not to be played with, clearly, But his wife seemed to think that, you know, she could play with him, get away with him. We're in the middle of a divorce now because I found out that she was taking and send the new pictures to an ex boyfriend. Also find out that she'd been having a fair with the guy for almost a year. When I confronted her, she told me she had been unhappy for a long ass time and she needs more. I don't know how much more you need than sixty six two seven. What are you looking for? How much more is it? I certainly don't have more at six two two thirty five. I don't have more. I probabise your kid ain't got more shoulder last time, ain't got I don't know what mode you comboxive. He's six six two. Hang on, we'll have part two of your coming up at twenty three after the hour. Subject up today's letter. I am not the one to play with. We'll be back right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve, Come on, let's recap today's strawberry letters. So don't recall I am not the one to play with. He to be played with? Fifty four, married twenty five years. He's six six two seventy. He ain't to be played with, but the damn wife thinks she can play. So he found out she's been taking pictures sending into the dude. Then find out touch shee been having an extra Metal of faun, she says, and when he confronted her about it, she says she needs more. We left trying to figure out what more do you want? He's six six two seventy y what mold? Okay? But obviously you won't more so then, but as I mentioned, I'm not to be played with. So I went to visit the guy that she was sleeping with. That right here, it's where this letter starts to take a turn, where every man here and this going this as yeah, she said, you don't play with me. I want to pay him a visit to the guy she was sleeping with, told him I knew everything and that he could have him. See here, want her no more? He threw with him, you know this ain't no left. You can have them. You know, I'm just letting you know this right here now. But now let me show you what happened. Though. He scared his punk ass so bad when he said you can have her. First thing, he said, I'm married and just jack, I wouldn't leave my wife for her or anybody. I don't want her. See because if he said because if he just said you can have it, he said, thanks, he'd ha knocked his ass into the midute. Next week, he'd woke up in a coma Sherley. If he'd answered that question wrong and you could have her, thanks man, fuck, I love your wife, that would have been it. This guy said he's married, that he and my wife was just a fleeing. He said he never leave his wife for her or anyone. So six six found his wife and went to see her too. It was all in my plan to get revenge. I would he was just gonna tell it, But he didn't expected his wife to be as fine and as pretty as she is. I told her about my wife and her husband as a fan. She wasn't shocked up and said she said, you know her husband cheating. She started flirting with me and eventually told me that she got needs or her own that's not being taken. Now. I know she got needs because her man ain't six six two seven. You're looking at all it beefcake in front of you. You start thinking loud, what is all this hill by Christmas? To me? I got knees and can't get mad. But I bet she can do something. Well, you know, I offered to help her with her needs and she couldn't resist. Boy, I know that right. So here we are months later and we both have to admit, admit it that we are falling for each other. Oh this it got good. Now. There's nothing better than revenge. But I don't want my new woman to find out it was all a game in the beginning. Should I keep our fans secret a little longer? Or should I show my wife and that two can play this game? Please advise Steve or you came to the right player player boiling the hill. First of all, you do not tell her that it was all a game to begin it. But what you do say is when I came over, there was about revenge for me. I just wanted him to feel hurt and wanted his marriage to be in pain the way mine had to go through it. But when I saw you, I said, Wow, how could he do this to some woman like this? And then I found out you knew he was cheating on you like all women do. And then you just said that you have needs and I got needs, and we began to share with one another. And so now here we are and we have this moment. So tell her that you came for revenge, but after you saw her, you could not imagine how he could do this to a woman like you. And so we started seeing each other, and what I found it you was everything I wanted, because that's why y'all falling for each other. In the words of an old friend of mine, fair exchange ain't no robber. If you got my wife and I got chow wife, and both our wives is cool with being got bam got you change. So now here's what you do. Don't tell your wife nothing, why you can't why you can't wait to rub this in her face. Let her get the divorce, let her discover that the dude don't want her. Yeah, but then let me explain something to you. What you're worried about what he gonna do if you take his wife? What even to do? You ain't to be played with your six six two seven? What a podcasts gonna do when he finds out you got his wife? And if you worry about what your wife gonna do when you tell her you're sleeping with his wife, what he gonna do? Not a day damn thing. Y'all gonna live happily. Laughter, and let church say, hey man, happily.

Yeah, all right, Mark marks the Steve Harvey Morning Show and some trending news coming up at thirty three after the hour, right after this, you're listening mon show. While a Dallas jury sentence Dallas police officer Amber Geiger to ten years in prison for fatally shooting both of John as he ate a bowl of ice cream in his own apartment, the state asked the jury to sentence Amber to twenty eight years. That was the age both of John would have been this year. The ten years sentence punishment was met with booze and jeers by a crowd gathered outside the courtroom. One woman said the sentence was a slap in the face. However, in a stunning moment, both of John's brother Brent, John told Amber Geiger on this stand inside the courtroom, I forgive you and go to God. Take a listen, speak for myself. I forgive you, and I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you. And I don't think anyone could say it again. I'm speaking for myself, not even bad for my family. But I love you just like anyone else. I'm not gonna say I hope you rot and die. It's just like my brother did. But I see I personally want the best for you. And I wasn't gonna ever say this in front of my family or anyone. But I don't even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you because I know that's what That's exactly what both them would want you to do. And the best would be gave your life to Christ. I don't know if it's possible, but can I give her a hug? Please? Wow? Wow? Different kind of human man, But they said the same thing about his brother, I mean about both such a great guy. When I watched this on television yesterday, it really choked me up, man, because I was feeling that young brother man because he he has to he has to live with this the rest of his life, and he chose not to make hate a part of the rest of his life, right right. That that's a special person to be able to fix in your mind the correct way. Now, I don't know that about me. I don't I don't know that about me. I don't know, absolutely, absolutely not. I don't know that I could have. I appreciate it. He made me pause and think. But I do not know if I could have done it exactly his way. I could have maybe done a version of it. I know. I know for a fact were not hugged that I know. But you did? You did hear what he said? Those Steves? No, no, no, I understand exactly what he said, and it was most powerful. I have a closing remark I'm gonna do about that. I've been thinking about this, so I'm gonna save my remarks because he said that's what his late brother would have wanted. You know, Wow, Jess. Coming up next, we'll do our last break of the day, and then, of course we will have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey right after this at forty nine minutes after you're listening all right here we are Steve, our last break of the day on this Thursday. It's been a good Thursday. A lot of things going on in the news, A lot of things busy, busy with people playing with lions. Yeah, that was crazy, crazy. Calm us all down, put everything all into perspective and give us something to hope and dream for it time. I don't. I don't. I don't know if that's what this is gonna be today. I really don't, because I want in another direction. Well my clothes remarks. Today is going to be a commentary. Okay, I don't do commentary often, um, but today I wanted to talk about this brother by the name of both of them, John who was murdered by this police officer, Amber Geiger, and the reaction to both of John's eighteen year old brother. I watched it, young man at eighteen years old talk about forgiveness and then he begged this woman to hug him and asked the court can I please hug her? Now? Let me tell you something. I was choked up when I watched this. I watched it yesterday on the news because as he was hugging her and asking the court to please allow him to hug her and saying that he didn't want her to even go to jail, and he was debating on whether he was gonna say this in front of his family. I was imagining what this eighteen year old young man could have possibly been thinking. Now I don't know exactly what he was thinking, but maybe he didn't want his big brother's memory to be that of hate. Maybe he didn't want that hate to be his own form of cancer. Maybe he knew that his brother has never hated anybody in his life, and he wasn't gonna tie his memory by hating someone on his behalf. So this eighteen year old young man chose to forgive because Hayden don't get his brother back. Hate, don't honor or tell the story of who his brother was. And he said so in his commentary to the fact that this is not what his brother would have wanted, because he knew his brother intimately. It was his big brother, So he chose to forgive. I was amazed at this young man's strength and and and and because he even pleaded with the court to allow him to hug her. And as he hugged her to Bailiff went up on that just looking at him. But you could look into Bailif's face like, Wow, he couldn't believe it. I don't know if people really understand what all and how many times people in this world have to forgive. Most people have had to forgive many times. Well, since this is a race issue, and for those of you who don't think that this is a race issue, it's why we can't solve racism, because there are those who won't even acknowledge racism even when it's blatant. So how do we solve something when people keep denying that it exists. This case was another case about racism, And since this is about race, let me say this first. I know for fact that there are whites who have had to forgive some black person or some person of color. Of that, I am sure that's got to be a fact, But where as black people have had to forgive at a disproportionate rate. That young man's mother said that she was grateful for the verdict, but the tactics used to try to clear this officer, these blatant race tactics had to stop. She was talking about in Dallas. But it ain't just Dallas, it's nationwide. It just case was just held in Dallas. So let's be real. Were as black people we have had to forgive so many times. For so many years, we've had to forgive. We've had to get over it. We've had to understand, we didn't had to just go d or with it. We've had to just let it go. We've had to just wait on it, wait and see. We've had to wait while everybody processes it. And here's my favorite one of all, we've had to be patient. Well, we're tired. We've been tired. As a matter of fact, we're sick and tired of being sick and time if you want to know the truth about it now, Look, I'm not going to do a list of injustices that's happened, but my closing remarks, we just don't have the much time. But just let me just say a couple of things. Didn't a black woman get five years for registering her child at her daddy's address so the child could go to a better school. Didn't she get five years? Didn't a black woman get twenty years for killing her husband who beat her, Yes, sir, but didn't Felicity Huffman in the big college cheating scam of the year, she got four teen days, just two weeks. A woman just wanted her child to get a batter School. She got five years. It's three thousand people in prison who got life with no parole for non violent crimes. Ninety one percent of the people is black. Here's a fact. If this young man who died was the police officer in this case, and the officer who was at home meeting ice cream was a victim in her apartment ten years oh, you'd have had another zero on it and a very strong chance that he would die in prison. Those are my closing remarks. Y'all, have a great weekend for all. Steve Every contests No purchase necessary, avoid where prohibited.
