Y'all know what time to y'all don't know. Y'all have a suit on, looking back, the back down, giving them mom like the million buck things in it coubles me true good at Steve har listening to the movie Together for Steve Hadley, I don't join join me. You doing me, honey. You gotta turning to a You gotta turn to turn them out. You got to turn them out. Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your fad uh huh. I sure will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on, dig me down, want and only Steve Harvey got a radio show, man on man on man. I just I have to tell you this. How good is the god I served? How amazing is he here? It is? It is your determination and your effort. Listen to me carefully. It is your determination and your effort. I think that the average person, and I'm not knocking you, I just want you to hear me out. I think what stops the average person from becoming successful is it we don't realize the effort that it takes. And that's just truth. I found that to be so true in my life and my talking to people and meeting people, and people aren't asking me questions about it and me trying to figure out the way myself. I don't think that you really can comprehend the effort that it takes to become successful. This is the thing that you have to wrap your mind around very quickly if you want to be successful on any level in any area. The dream is the beginning. Good Lord, let me tell you something. The determination and effort is massive. You cannot be overly concerned with sleep. If you are a person who is always concerned about sleep, get success out your mind. A fit to happen. Partner is not fit to happen. You cannot be that concerned about sleep. Now, listen to me. You have to get your rest. But this was my philosophy. I'm just sharing you with how I did it. My philosophy was I stopped being concerned about sleep. I got my rest, but I got just enough to get back to it, and I got back on the grind to hop into hustle. I got just enough rest so I could go and put forth some more effort. But listen to me, you cannot sleep a third of your life away and expect to become successful. If you're not already successful. If you are asleep for eight hours, that is a third of your day. You cannot be asleep a third of your life and expect to get successful. Now, after you get successful, you know, you learn as you go to work smarter, not harder. So as you get successful, you may have eight hours available to you on the way up there. I don't see how you can do it, I promise you. I don't now. I don't know. Maybe somebody can come forward. I did it out. Yeah, probably lying, But okay, tell your story, because everybody I know that's successful that I've sat down the head real talks with it wasn't concerned with sleeping. You cannot be concerned with sleeping if you want to be successful. How how can this happen for you? It listened to me. The effort that it requires is massive. It's an all out of salt on your dream. Now you got to make an assault. It's requires and all out of salt on it. And you can't be sleeping. Fight at the same time. You can't fight when you sleep. Man. I wish I could get y'all understand this right. Ill understand that the effort that is required to be successful will take everything you have, and when you think you've given your all, it's gonna require some more. The quality of your chill is amazing. See that's okay. Listen, what is sitting around having a bill every day? Fault? What? What? What? They're sitting around smoking weed for every day? Fault? Come on, man, for real, But if you took that beer, drinking weed smoking chill time and apply it to progressing yourself towards your dream when you do carve out a vacation, guess where you be able to go. Guess what part of the world you can go? See guess how you can chill? Now, Now I'm instead of you just driving every year your family to the family union. Sit at the same picnic table. Everybody pull their money in two ten families don't never pull they money in. They down there eating like y'all eating. You got attitude because the day or they side don't ever chip in, And no they down they eating the extra potatoes are making place. You're not not arguing about this every year for real? Man, they ain't got the T shirt money. You know they got to say a T shirt, don't. They ain't put in that really, man, so so so so so you want that to be it every year? Or do you want this year I'm taking my family to New Orleans, or I'm taking my family see the Grand Canyon. I'm taking my family down to the beach this year, and me and my family gonna go sight See. We're gonna go ride couple the river on Chicago. Me and my family gonna go skiing this year. Me, me and my family going out to La Man, we're gonna we're gonna go out there for a weekend. You know, you know it can happen like that. But if you ain't working, listen to me. Average effort gets average results. See. Ordinary effort gets ordinary results. But if you put forth an extra effort, see, the only difference between extraordinary and ordinary is one word, that's extra. If you do extra, you can take ordinary right on over to extraordinary. Do you understand you have to have a massive assault on your dreams? Quit sitting up in here, man, trying to chill all the time. I'm sorry, man, I wish I could tell you another way, but it ain't one. I didn't talk to jay Z about this. I didn't talk Samuel all about this. I didn't talked to said about this. I didn't talk. I have talked to the President of the United States. I've had a conversation with him about his effort. You look at this. You cannot become successful with our effort. You cannot be concerned about sleep. Here's what I did. Now, you can take it from me, or you can try it your way. But when you get through trying it, this is what you're gonna have to do. I wasn't concerned about how much sleep I got. I just had to get my rest. And once I got enough rest to get up and get the task done, I got up. Somebody sent me a tweet the other day, a partner of mine. He's someone to see if I can pull it up while I'm talking to you. But he just sent me a little sign. Just wasn't nothing, just a little something to say, Hey man, I ran across this, I thought about you, and I sent it to you. It said, no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. He said, no alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what you got to be about. You gotta take that dream. You gotta get passionate about it, and you got to get awake, and you got to get up and get at it, and you got to put forth a massive assault on your dream. Your effort has got to be extraordinary if you put forth extraordinary. If you put forth extra effort, you go from ordinary to extraordinary. That's the deal. You think it's another way, If you got another way, could you please email it to me? Steve Harvey doctor let me know so I can slow down. So I don't know no other way. All right, you're listening, ladies and gentlemen. Let me have your undivided attention. It's morning again. This is dedicated to people who lay claim to the fact that they are not mourning people. I want you all to reconsider this affirmation. I want you to stop claiming it because mourning is a blessing and hopefully you will see mourning again tomorrow. So to claim not to be a morning person but yet and still hopefully tomorrow comes and this is something you're gonna be upset about every single day when in actuality it is a blessing. You should stop using your tongue to speak that negativity in your life and allow God to bless you the way he gonna bless you. Instead of you saying I'm not a morning person. We are all mourning people. We are grateful that this morning and that's why this is that Steve Harvey mourning show, not to later on it afternoon show. This ain't the evening show.

DMX didn't relapse, but feared he was at risk to go back to his old ways. He was triggered by the stress of a sick child who has been in and out of the hospital and the pressure of performing again. Instead of making a choice he would later regret. H DMX knew he needed to seek help. We're praying for you, X. Stay strong like that. Please. He's actually a good dude. Many a few times I've met him. He's always been a good brother. Wow. But you know what, man, that man once again. Social media can do what they want to do.

And he's getting a lot of support on social media, you know, especially you know, people in the hip hop community like NAS and you know, I saw him saying, you know, we're praying for you brother. So you know he has support and love from us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just like that he recognizes his triggers and went and got help. I love that a lot of people don't do that. A lot of people do relapse and go back under Absolutely. Yeah that that that addiction is real, man, That addiction is real. That that addiction, man, that that's the devil at his absolute finest. Yeah. And then the press, like he said, the pressure performing again and a sick child. Oh my goodness, the stress of that alone. Yeah yeah wow. So yeah, we are praying for you. Definitely stay strong. All right, Steve, time to get an update on today's head lines, please, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Anne Tripp, thank you very much, everybody, This is a trip with the news. Well, you know what happened last night. Democratic presidential hopefuls took to the debate stage again last night, but this was the first time since the House of Representatives began its official impeachment inquiry, and former Vice President Biden made his feelings about the president real clear. He used the C word crazy president who knows not a damn thing about foreign policy and operates out of fear for his own re election. Do you have Russia influencing and trying to break up NATO. What does the president do? He says, I believe Vladimir Putin if he is re elected, I promise you there will be no NATO. We will be in real trouble of impeachment, of course, was also discussed. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris among the many who had their say. This president is the most corrupt president in modern history, and I think all of our history. And the fact is that this president Nited States has gone so far to say that, in fact, he will not cooperate in any way at all. They have no choice but to move. He has committed crimes in plain sight. During that election, Donald Trump told us he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it. And he has consistently since he won been selling out the American people. Our framers imagined this moment, a moment where we would have a corrupt president, and our framers then rightly designed our system of democracy to say there will be checks and balances. This is one of those moments, and so Congress must act. Donald Trump needs to be held accountable. He is indeed the most corrupt and unpatriotic president we have ever had. But of course, when the subject turned to gun violence, all the candidates talked about school shootings, the National Rifle Association, getting weapons out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, even going door to door to get them. However, former US Housing Secretary Julian Castro he urged caution. He was the only one on the stage, the only one who also mentioned the special problem that people of color, especially black people, facing this country and the places that I grew up in. We weren't exactly looking for another reason for cops to come banging on the door. And y'all saw a couple of days ago what happened to Tatiana Jefferson and fort Worth. A cops showed up at two in the morning at her house when she was playing video games with her net with her nephew. He didn't even announce himself, and within four seconds he shot her and killed her through her home window. She was in her own home. And so I am not going to give these police officers another reason to go door to door in certain communities because police violence has also gun violence. And who did your address out? He was the only one, only one of there who mentioned anything happened to do specifically with black people, especially activists who were injured doing the white nationalist rallying Charles vill Virginia have file suit against the people who organized it. Today National Boss's Day, mister big Stune. Now back to the Steve Harvey Warner Show. You're listening, hey, everybody, as promise. Joining us now is a man who is the president of the Black Lawyers Association. He's an award winning civil rights attorney and activists. He has handled the biggest wrong for death cases that we've had recently. And he was jess In Cancoon with us for saying and soul. And he bought the mothers of the movement with him so we could celebrate them. On top of all of that of his tireless fight for justice for our people, this brother has found time to write a book. The book is entitled Open Season Legalized Genocide of Colored People. The book is available everywhere in stores and online, and we're gonna find out more about it. Ladies and Genner, please welcome my brother, the one and only attorney Benjamin Crump. Good morning, Harney Crump. Let me tell y'all how great it was to be what you are saying, and soul man, if you've needed my spirits. I came back more focused than ever. It's time flies. But I never forget how greatf I was for you allowing me to use your platform to talk about this seventeen year old kid who was walking home with a bag of skitters and a cannabite team and this neighborhood watched volunteer shot him in the heart and got off. Yeah, it's amazing, and it's just happening over and over again. So let's talk about this man, because I want to hear more about this. You got this book out. It's called open Season. It's legalized genocide of colored people. What you're doing this book, Attorney Crump, as you expose a terrifying truth that the killing or imprisonment of black people is being justified by a legal system, exactly, Stephen, especially considering with what just happened in Fort Worth Texts, it is truly the epitome of open season by the police and the government, which the police represent to many people, Steve, in our community, that's the most authoritative figure that we have that we come in contact with, representing the government, and they get to kill us, whether it's on the streets or when our children go to court. If you go into the courtroom and you just watch, when you see little white boys and girls come up there with very similar fact patterns to little black and brown boys and girls. The white children get a slap on the wrist and they get escorted out the courtroom to live the destiny that guy has for them. But the little black children get sent to the corner of the courtroom and they are convicted of a trumped up felony conviction after they've been fingerprinted and handcuffed, and that felony conviction now Steve is with them for the rest of their lives. And we talk about in the book what comes with being at this feling if you are a poor minority in America. He attorney Crump, Hang on one second, we'll be right back, man, don't go nowhere. We got Benjamin Crump will be right back with more about this exciting book. You're listening, all right, everybody, We're back and we're talking with the attorney Benjamin Crump about his new book that's been released and it's in Stories everywhere, and the book is called Open Season. So let's get back to this interview, and we talk about in the book what comes with being a convicted feeling if you're a poor minority in America. And so we're getting into the essence of where Paul Robson and de Wie B. Dubois did back in nineteen fifty one when they went to the United Nations saying that we charge genocide on how America is mistreating African Americans and how they are not having the law protect us as it's supposed to be for all citizens. And that is the essence of open season. Wow, you know what, man, I find this what you when you open up your statement about this open season, that they're doing it to us in the courtrooms. They're doing it to us in on the streets. Now they're going into our houses. They they're killing us in our houses. Now this is Dallas, was the last with Amber Geiger, and now this police officer in fort Worth, which is the neighboring city to DFW Airport, is Dallas Fort Worth Airport. They bumped right up against each other. Arlington separates them, little suburb called Arlington, that's where the football stadium is now. But you go from Dallas to fort Worth and now this police officer shot this twenty eight year old black woman in her house playing video games with her nephew, and they managed to find a gun on the floe somewhere, and they released a picture of a gun on the flow somewhere in the house. I'd be looking at these, you know, Steve, it is so profound how they always try to intellectually justify the killing of black and brown people as it was legal. Toget about the morals. They try to say, we can justify legally in the court of law, where none of these murderers or hell accountable for killing your children and my children. It's almost when you think about both of them. John in his own apartment, this white police want to come in and killing him, and then everybody wanted to have sympathy for her, and you kept a scratch your head and say, why doesn't any of the little black and brown people ever get that benefit of consideration, that benefit of the doubt. I've put an argument, Steve in the book that says, why should we allow the government to now pay their bills by selling marijuana and weeds? But yet when black people who are selling marijuana and we need to pay their bills, they put us all in prison. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, it's like, I think this book is right on time, because I think this book that you've written open season. I think it's gonna give an eyeball and attention to a thing that America needs to see because when they read it at book clubs and they read it and it opens up for conversation starters because it's legalized genocide of colored people, and that's exactly what's happening. And for you not to think that this is happening in this country, you are part of the problem. Because I can assure you if it was happening to you and people who reminded you of yourself, it would be a problem. But when it's happening to us and you don't see it as a problem, then it's because you're a proud of the problem. And Steve, you have a son writing that eighteen to twenty five age range that is the target. Do you all realize that black men in America only make up seven percent of the population, but yet we represent fifty percent of the people on death row? How do you how does that happen to me? About it being some systematic discrimination on the part of the government. Absolutely, he can't happen. So because unless it's equal justice under the law for all American citizens, then we are living a line and America we are better than that. The book is available everywhere. It's by Attorney Benjamin Crump, and the book is called Open Season. Everybody, make sure you pick up a copy, Brother Benjamin.

Thank you f subject. I live next door to the Magic Woman. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty six year old single woman, and my new next door neighbor has me concerned. She's a pretty girl in her late twenties, and she was nice enough when I met her. Here's my problem. Her bedroom window faces my bedroom window, so I have to keep my blinds closed for privacy. She always keeps her window cracked, and night after night, usually during the week, I can hear very loud moans and whimpers coming from next door. I hear furniture moving around and creaking, and it keeps me from resting at night. I thought I could get used to it, but then the noises started lasting four hours. I might fall asleep by eleven PM to the noises, to the noises, and wake up for work at five thirty am, and the noises are still going on. Last Tuesday, I was getting ready for bed and my doorbell rang. I peeped out and said, yes, who is it. The man on the other side of my door asked me if I was the Magic Woman. I told him no and told him to try next door, then into my window and watched him check his phone and then walk over to my neighbor's house. Within thirty minutes, the noises started and went on for at least two hours. After that, I started watching her every other night, and she had all kinds of men coming and going. Some were louder than others. I want to tell the neighborhood Association about her, but my sister told me, I'm jealous and I'm hating on the Magic Woman because I can't pay a man to come to mind. I can't pay a man to come to my house. There is no way I'm jealous. I just do not want this wild prostitution ring this close to me. Steve, I know you're going to have jokes, but I really need to know. But Steve, I know you're gonna have jokes, but I really need to know if I should report the Magic Woman or not. Please advise. All right, this is quite alarming, especially since this young lady, this nice enough young lady as you call her, live so close to you and you can hear everything that's going down. You need your rest. You don't want to hear all of this all night long, you know. I would say something to the neighborhood association. I would not necessarily that there's a prostitution ring going on, but say something about the noises. Maybe she can close her window and you won't have to hear that. Okay, your sister is a hater herself. It sounds like, I mean, she just came out and told you that you're jealous of her and you're hating on the magic woman because you can't pay a man to come to your house. Wow, where'd that come from? But anyway, Yeah, you know, you can't necessarily prove it's a prostitution ring going on over there, although from every indication it seems like that what is going on. But maybe she could just close her window so you won't have to hear it, That's what I would report that there. It's too loud over there. My neighbor reported me because some of my branches from my yard were in her so I got a letter from the neighborhood, from the homeowners association. I was mad about it, but I did. She'd had some of the jail branches in her yarn. I did have my garden. I give you something. Call down that fall. Are well? Are we telling? She told him me. Though, all right, Steve, Yeah, let's start at the bottom of the letter. Steve, I know you're gonna have jokes. Oh okay, Well all right, I'm gonna try not to then. How about that? Okay, But here I go. Thirty six year old single woman next neighbor gas has me concerned. You don't live over there. I don't know what you're concerned about, but here we go. She's a pretty girl in her late twenties. She was really nice when you met him. Here's my problem. Her bedroom window faces my bedroom, and so I have to keep my blinds closed for privacy. She keeps her winder crack, and night after night, usually during the week, I can hear very loud moans and whimpers coming from next dope. I hear furniture moving around and creaking, and it keeps me from resting that night. I thought I get used to it. But then the noise. It's started last for five hours. I fall asleep eleven pm, wake up, go working, four thirty five third the noise it's still going on. This ain't the same dude. Now, I'm just telling you that this is not the same dude. There has been a shift change. That you are on the way. Ain't no man in there from eleven to five thirty, all the furniture moving and all is here or it's submit out there that can say that's them. But there has been a shift change because you ain't looking into blinds. This is swift, dees is more than one. Last twes, I was getting ready to go to bed, my doorbell rain. I peeped out, and yes, who is it. The man on the other side of my door asked me if I was the magic woman. I told him no. I told him to try next dope. So you went to your window and watched him check his phone, and there walked into your neighbor's house. Within thirty minutes, the noise and started and went on for at least two hours. Wow, damn. After that, I started watching her every other night. She had all counts of me and come well, enjoy the damn show. Then what did you find to call the neighborhood watch for? And this is better than TV? Yes, this is you can cut your cable off because your cable stay next dope. When I come back, I'm gonna tell you what I think should happen, what should have happened, and what's gonna happened. Oh what you say, nephew, excuse me, suld get the address I mean to the magic Woman. You know, all right, listen, we'll have that to the house. You think that'd be right? Oh he's Oh, he's so smart. Though. We'll have part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject I live next door to the Magic Woman. We'll get back into it right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Here we go. Let's recap today's Strawberry Lots subject good lady to the Magic Morner. This lady got a next door neighbor in her late twenties, cute girl, and she had men coming over all times of the night. She know that because they wouldn't just faced each other. She keep up blinds closed for privacy, but she keep her window open. You know how in the hood. You just a driveway away. You know it's just a driveway separating house. She and that you can hear furniture moving from right next dope day and that just getting busy and other day he was getting ready for bed, and know who is it? Now, let me go a little further than this letter, for I do that. I want to tell the neighborhood association about him. And I'm hating on the magic woman because I can't pay a man to come to my house. Damn. Now they're paying to go over there, but you can't give a man fifty to come over here. That's what your sister said. Your sister told you, I'm jealous and I'm hating on the magic woman. And how you know it's a magic woman because the man can't run your dobell and said it is you the magic woman? You saying no, try next dope. Now, according to the letter, you should have said yes, I am the magic woman and let him come on end. Then you could have proved your damn sister row you're gonna send him off now he over the front that you're moving around you may there's no way I'm jealous. I just do not want this wild prostitution ring this close to me. Now, y'all tell them if I could say this or not. You don't know that she's a prostitude. You don't know that prostitution and hoing is different. Well, I mean that is a true statement, though one making money and one is for money, one is just for fun. You know. I don't even know if it's for fun sporting, So I don't know which one we're dealing with. Hill. Now, you you guess, assuming that you're hoping it's prostitution that's going on next though, it's got to be because there's so many men coming in and out. Yeah, I don't think you're just doing that for fun. I think we got to be getting some type of financial liberties for this. Ye. It ain't the smartest way to make money, but it is the oldest profession in the world. But have you thought about a couple of things before you report her off to the neighborhood watch Association and she got all this extra income coming in, have you ever thought of managing her? She that way? The next time they knock on your dough and they say, is you the magic woman? You said no, But I can point you to her here is the payment, and then you take yours off the top and give her the rest. I'm just saying, Oh, if she's making that much money and you stay right next Dough, have you thought about because you liked her when you first met her, you said that at the top, have you thought about taking in a roommate you can hear something going on in your house, that's right, Then you can get control of this income and turn it into a business. I mean, I'm just asking you, d She says Steve. I know you have jokes. I cannot let her down what you do. Have you thought about setting up a barbecue pit in your driveway? But when they get through all them, hum, you got to be selling real jeals on the rout Chris. Yeah, so you got two things? Yeah, you need some roses for on the way in? What you want? Two met, three meet play? Yeah? Just how you want to do this? So before you called the neighborhood Watch Association, don't stare a gift horse in the mouth and don't win it with it. This could be an opportunity for you. I don't know if you have kids, but this would be a prime location for a lemonade stand. I'm promise you everybody thirsty come out of there not missing. You want to hilarious, man, you know they're gonna be suffering from guilt. They're gonna buy. Yes, you got a real business in here. I got another idea. Open your damn blinds and set up a camera. Sell tapes. Hey, man, you want idea? Do you want to tape for yourself in there because I got a clean shot from this woman? Or pay me if you want to. They sell tapes after service. Yeah, I'm just going over the things that you could do instead of telling the Neighborhood Watch Association. No, I don't think you need to report it. It's none of your business. And there's no acts of violence going. It's not a crackhouse. They're not selling dope. All right, Thank you, Steve. We got to move on now.

You know, you're I was really young when this happened. You think it's your fault. I'm making him do this to me, you know, things like that. It's a lot involved. But uh, you know, I'm glad that I finally did speak out about it. I am, of course, it's still hard to talk about it, but but I'm not a victim. I'm definitely a survivor. Um all right again, alm Alma G. Davis Foundation dot org. Okay, coming up, we're moving on coming up at the top of the hour. Actress Felicity Huffman turned herself in yesterday to start serving her fourteen day prison sentence in the college bribery scandal. We'll talk about her bread after this. That ain't number you're listening show well. Actress Felicity Huffman turned herself in yesterday yesterday to begin serving a fourteen day sentence for her role in the college admitton's bribery's scandal. They say this one was going to prison for fourteen days. Yeah, well, you can survive fourteen days. That's orientation is two weeks? Oh wow, sound like a two or don't here to show? Yeah? Well. She arrived at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, California, on Tuesday, just outside of San Francisco, where she'll be locked down for the next two weeks. As we reported, Felicity got fourteen days at thirty thousand dollars fine, one year supervised release, and two hundred and fifty hours of community service. Prosecutors initially privately demanded one year in jail and then publicly reduced their recommendation to four months behind bars, but ultimately reduced it to one month, but the judge scoffed at the prosecutor's request, saying the case amounted to a bunch of nothing because the college admission system was already broken. What helped Felicity, the judge said, she had near immediate acceptance of responsibility, so she took ownership for her crime, and she paid one of the smallest bribes. Felicity in court apologized, saying, I have inflicted more damage on her daughter than I could have ever imagined. So she took your daughter, No she's not. Yeah, Now what's going to be interesting is this other lady that didn't take a plea? Oh yeah, Laura Laughlin. Yeah, yeah, Now we really fit to find out because you notice, judge said, because she owned up to it in all it h that's what got her to break the system. Owned up to the fact that she changed her address to her daddy's house so her child could go to a different school. And she got five years and that's not five days just to go. She didn't pay she she just moved to address. Man. Yeah, yeah, that's say so many people who have done that before. They're still doing that going on for years. Man, I got apartment. What did you were gonna say, we got an apartment. What nowhere has nothing like me? Sometimes you know that, you really do, you act like me sometimes scares.

Before we went to break, we were talking about last night, uh Democratic presidential debate going on in Columbus O High, and they talking about stillbody give a damn about Hey man, let's talk about these these these dreamers. Let's let's let's let's get this these people in these schools. Let's reduce some of this debt so these people can live. Let's get some real tax breaks for real people, because that thing that Trump did is just for rich people. They gave y'all two thousand dollars and that's it. The rest of you went to rich people. Then they got this lady, Taulsy Gabbert, nice looking lady, ain't president. If everybody and Wifie vote, she still ain't gonna make it to even be discussion. Syria and Turking you ain't even the president now, and then that's another thing, Tommy. We don't get to vote on foreign policy, so quit talking to us about foreign policy when we have no say. So, what are you going to do for us right here that we will send our kids to school, get some daycare benefits, get some tax benefits, get some reasonable house loans, Get some of these dead off this college students, find a way to pay these teachers more office. Get these damn policemen, quit killing all these people out here. Get their ass properly trained and properly convicted. That's what we need to do. Get some of these damn guns off this street. And see, that's what we need to do so people can go to church, to the movies, in school, and inside their house without getting killed by some damned food coming there not. A second black person in the Dallas Fort Worth area then got killed by another police officers in their house, this time a twenty eight year old woman. Are we for real? But I'm serious, though, We have got to stop getting caught up in the stuff that they don't even let us vote on. Quit telling me what you're gonna do with foreign policy, because you're not gonna let us have a say so in it, and then you're gonna get in there. And nobody does with foreign policy what they say they're going to do. They need to stick to the issues that concerned the American public. That do. I need to go down each one to candidate. Y'all want to call their names off, and I tell you the chance they let go a. Let's start with out of South in Indiana, Mayor Pete Buda, Judge, nice name, real nice looking dude. Ain't gonna make it. Smart smart, real smart. Can't beat Trump, though, Former Housing Secretary Julian Castro. Julian Castro, what latinos for Trump? Said? United Minnesota Senator Amy Klobascher. Come on over do nobody lives? Oh you just took it from me. I would just I'm Terry Lewis. That's just only votes. We still heads what we knew? Oh yeah for sure. All right, listen, come ahead, some remarks our last break of the day. Closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey at thirty nine minutes after the hour right after this, you're listening Steve Show. All right, Steve, here we are last break of the day. It's been a good day and good hump Day Wednesday. I'm doing ye, hold your start. Can I say something true? How about them astros? Baby? How about them astros? That's all I wanted, astro stros. Strove come on Strolls. Who won on the Strokes? Rosy Bros, go Stross? Gary Cole pitched a great one. All right, Steve, it is time, hey, you know for closing remarks to day. You know, we're just joking about the presidential debates last night and who we think has a chance of beating Trump and can anybody beat him? And what we're gonna have to do to vote and turn out to vote in all of this. Hire. But in all seriousness, whoever the candidates are, whoever they are, what's more important is who you are. See, the person of your choice are liking might not be sitting in the White House. The majority, the vast majority of people, or at least half at minimum, are not going to be happy with whoever the choice he is sitting in the White House. I think it's a great deal more than fifty percent that's unhappy with the current resident of the White House. But then it's a shocking number of people who are absolutely perfectly fine with him being in the White House, which leaves me a bit disturbed because I just don't know how you can hear this type of rhetoric coming from the highest office in the land and accept this as okay. You know, there used to be a time where we would say, you know, we want our children to look up to certain people. You know, I remember a long time ago you wanted everybody to know your neighborhood policemen. Well, now that's crazy. Now, I remember when you wanted everybody to be friends and know the pastor. Well, the majority passes are good people. All the pastors are human, and some of them make huge mistakes. I remember when people used to point to the president as a person who should be of higher moral value and conduct than the rest of us to lead to free nation. Well they changed that around with this last election. So no matter who's in the White House, half the people are gonna be unhappy at best at least. So here's what I was thinking, who's ever in that White House? I think that we should all turn our attention to ourselves to our relationship with God. However we choose to serve him as a Muslim, as a Jehovah's witness, as a Catholic, as a Protestant, a Christian, a Methodist, a Buddhist, whatever you choose to do, I think you all should turn your attention to your faith and your relationship with God and who you are trying to be. Everybody I know wants to be happy and successful. So in this upcoming twenty twenty election, you know I've decided to do. I'm gonna cast a vote for guess what, I only get one. I can talk about it on the radio all the way up into November twenty twenty, but at the end of the day, I get one vote. My vote won't change your vote. Your vote won't change my vote, but all of our votes together, if we acted as a unit, could affect who sits in the White House. But once again, I thought that would work last time too, and it did. And then as a little loophole called electoral College vote that got him in in spite of losing by three million, four million popular votes. I've heard as high as five million. But no matter who gets in in twenty twenty, I have decided that I'm on my way to making myself and all of us should consider this. We want to be happy and we want to be successful. So we should try to find a way and we should start going about the business of making ourselves spiritually better people physically, make ourselves better people. Watch your diet, start getting concerned about what you put in your mouth. Start educating yourself to dietary restriction that you need to help heal your body. We are to work on our financial situation and improve it in ways that we can do. We also we should just work on being better people. We should work on being better husbands, better fathers, better wives, better mothers, better young men, better young women, better students, better employees, better entrepreneurs. Whatever it is that floats your boat, we should focus on that. Because if you put your faith in the White House, this I can promise and assure you whoever gets in there gonna let you down in some shape, form or fashion. I don't care who it is, You're going to feel the same way you've been feeling at one point, like you got to get it together for yourself. And so since we got to get it together for ourselves, no matter who's in there, then guess what we ought to start that right now? We ought to start making the players should become better spiritually, physically, financially, a better husband, better father, better wife, better mother, and formal relationship with your creator, however you serve God, you should form that relationship and get that thing knit tight. So when whoever sitting in the White House, when they get through making decisions that we have no voting power in and and not keeping their campaign promises, and we look up in taxes and inflation didn't hit. We still got our faith, got our family, got our health, got our lifestyle, and we'll just keep on keeping them. Those are my clothing remarks. That's how I feel about it. Dropped them like.
