Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time of y'all don't know. Y'all don giving them like amazing buck things and it's not me true good Steve to mother Stey, don't you join Jo. You gotta use that turn hur you gotta turn to turn them out. Turn haven't got to turn them out? Then turn the water the water go. Come come on your back. Huh. I shall well a good morning every about it. You'll listening to the voice. Come on dignity now one it only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Okay, I want to talk to you today about success. But I want to talk to you about it like I usually do in terms of a principle of it, but I want to share something with you about it. And I was talking to my daughter about it. I've talked about my son in law about it, talked about it with all my children, and I'm really starting to express it to them now because I'm talking to a wide range of people constantly. But I want to share something with you. If you have any aspiration of being successful, I want you to realize, starting right now, the effort that is going to require. And that's why I think it stops a lot of people. I think a lot of people are never told or don't understand the sheer effort that's that it takes to become successful at anything, in any area of your life. If you think that doing your best is enough, that I got news for you. It's not. Well, Steve, what if you've done your best, though, and your best ain't good enough? Well, let me ask you that same question. Hold on. If you want to be successful and you've done your best and best isn't good enough, what you through? That's it? But Steve, it was my best? No no, no, no. It was the best you had at that time, in that particular day. But tomorrow add something to it. You've never done everything. There is no you can't go no more, you can't add no more. I've seen marathon runners end up crawling across the line. I've seen triath line people man just staggering in the street and didn't want nobody to help them because they knew that would disqualify them from the race. You got more? Have you ever dipped into your reserve tank? That's what we're talking about now. See all of us have a reserve tank, you know, I you know on my ranch. I like to ride four wheelers. I have all terrain vehicles and all of them have a gas tank on it and a gas tank and most of mine, let me see all of them. Yeah, all of them have gas tank needles on them, and it lets me know when I get down towards eat there's a little lane that's read that lets me know. Okay, Steve, you're in the danger zone. Now you're riding into the lowest part of your tank. But if I keep riding and I forget to get some gas in there, guess what when it runs out of gas. All of my all terrain Vie hookles, all of them, Honda, Polaris, all of them. Those are the makers. There's a button on the gas tank itself that I can click and it says reserve. That means they know that for the hardcore riders, they're gonna ride somewhere and they're gonna get themselves into situation and they're gonna run out of everything. They're gonna run out of road, they're gonna run out of gas. They've prepared because they know for the hardcore rider, every hardcore rider needs a reserve tank. And so there's a button that you can click on the gas tank, that clicks it into a reserve, and it will give you about fifty miles or twenty miles worth of gas in that Now, guess what in that reserve That may be all you need to get you the where you're going, or get you back to safety so you can refuel. Don't tell me you've done your best. When your best, don't cut it. What you're gonna do. See when best is possible, then good enough ain't enough. See that's good enough. But if the best is possible, why would you not shoot for that? And you you are all capable of making it. But you've got to change your mindset and realize the effort that has to be put forth in becoming successful. You've got to do it relentlessly, over and over and over and over and every day. I try to do something to progress my life for the better. I try to do something every day. I wake up every day with the plan. Some phone calls, some meetings, some some some interviews. Something man that's going to advance and move the brand forward. Because here's what's gonna happen. You are Let's say you reach your goal. Let's say your goal is to make now one hundred thousand dollars. Well, I got news for you. Listen to this. When you make the one hundred thousand dollars, you can't go on noway and go on vacation and put your hand behind your head and say I made a hundred thousand dollars. Guess what you got to do. You got to find a way now to maintain that a hundred thousand, to keep it coming in. So you can't just get there and stop and rest and whoa. It is harder to maintain your success than it is to get successful. See, let's say, let me let me show you this. Supposed it takes you five to eight years to find a way to make fifty thousand dollars. Let's say it takes you five to eight years to find a way to make an extra fifty thousand dollars, and you finally, through work and effort, you get to the fifty thousand dollars. More, that's that's it's only just begun now, because guess what, in order to keep the fifty coming in, you got to duplicate what you did to get there. And then, oh, here's what you're going to have the audacity being a human being You're gonna want another fifty because you're a human being, because you gotta have something else to shoot for. Now you're gonna want another fifty. Well, now that guess what you gotta do. Now, Now you gotta do what you did before, plus you gotta come up with something else. Then after that you're gonna have the audacity. Because you're humans, you're gonna want another fifty. Says how this works? And see that that's that that's the importance of your relationship with God, because you're gonna constantly need it. And I ain't have a point where you're gonna be through needing it. But there ain't gonna become a point in your life where you're gonna through. Won't through, be through, won't nothing unless you don't just gave up. And if you don't gave up, who wants that? Come on, y'all? This is going to take quite a bit of effort, and if you think it will come to you any other way, you're sadly mistaken. Because of all the successful people I know, I know that the effort they put out on a daily basis is daunting, and I think that the average person just doesn't understand the requirement of time and effort that it takes to get that and willingness to put it out. You gotta cut a lot of monkey business out your life. All that hanging out, all that late and all that club and all that drinking, all that. You gotta cut a whole lot of monkey business out to be successful. Man, if you're planning on being successful, get up early, stay up late, work, try, think, meet, greet, smile, attract. It takes a lot, let's go, but you can do it. God is pressed to plassing out blessings all day long. Why are you not in line for yours? I'm telling you right now, I want everything God got for me, because what he's shown me so far wool. If he got some more man on, man, how good is God? Huntre ladies and gentlemen. In the words of Marvin Gay, Let's get it on, baby, Let's get it on, ladies and gentlemen. This is a Steve Harvey Morning Show, a miracle in the middle of a crisis.

A Rod and j Loo are putting up a small percentage of the cash necessary to make a deal, and they're looking for other big investors. Multiple news outlets report that the Mets are worth around two point four billion with a bat dollars. Met superfan comedian Jerry Seinfeld says he's not interested in buying the Mets. He said, it's too much work. There you go, all right, time to move on. Yeah. I feel the same way too, but it ain't caused it too much work. It's much damn money. Yeah, all right, Steve time you get caught up on ladies and gentlemen, Miss Ann Tripp. Thanks guys, this is a tripp. And here we go with the news. President Trump says that the Congress has agreed on yet another Corona related stimulus bill, this one adding about a half a trillion dollars an additional COVID nineteen eight. And that's on top of the two point two tree in bucks the authorized by last month's money measures. So this is additional money. In fact, most of this dough is to replenish the dollars a lot of for small business loans programs, to send it past the Paycheck Protection Program and Healthcare Enhancement Act, with additional funding for the Paycheck Protection Program, hospitals and testing. A lot of money for all of them, especially for our workers and our small businesses. And yes, Trump says he supports this new bill and we'll sign it into law. By the way, the measure not only includes more small business loan money, but additional funds to support hospitals twenty five billion for testing a loan. The new bill was passed by the Senate now goes to the House of Representatives. They may vote on it today and then to the desk of the President and yes, he says he will sign it. Georgia's Republican Governor, Bryant Kemp, has announced a partial reopening of his state's business community. Kemp says a hair salons, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors and alike and reopen for business on Friday. Kemp says some restaurants can reopen for in house dining this coming Monday. But get this. While Trump points out that Georgia and some other nineteen other US states are moving toward reopening parts of their economies this week and next, national polls show that most Americans are in favor of keeping stay at home in social distancing rules in place, at least for now until they feel more comfortable. Believe it or not. A report issue by the Republican dominated Senate Intelligence Committee. You heard me say, Republican dominated. They're backing the findings by the US Intelligence Committee that found that Russia did, in fact try to help Donald Trump win the presidential election, thereby undercutting Trump's claim that it was all fake news. The Senate Committee sound that members of the FBI and CIA were not biased against Trump, but rather use quote sound analytical judgment and arriving at their conclusion. And by the way, that vote was unanimous. Here's something looks like the Food and Drug Administration giving and the nod to the first home kit designed to take a sample for coronavirus testing. The new tests still require a doctor's note. Quote to a recent poll by the Anti Defamation League, about two thirds of Jews in this country feel less safe now than they did ten years ago. Fifty percent say they've experienced a witness an incident that they felt was anti Semitism. Looks like some people trying to trying to clean their their masks by microwaving them. That's not doing anything, that's closing fires. And finally, today's International Earth Day, So enjoy the Earth if you can. Now back to the Steve Harvey Morning shows you're listening to show the Senate path to four hundred and eighty dollars billion dollars package for small business stimulus and also gave aid to hospitals at the federal government tries to rebuild the economy caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Also, states in the South like Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee are moving along to reopen despite hotspots that are emerging in these areas. And Georgia, barbershops, beauty salons, bowling alleys will be open Friday and on May first, most businesses in Tennessee will reopen. In South Carolina, some businesses will reopen, but we'll have to follow social distancing guidelines. These governors want to also help ease their state's economic strain from the pandemic, all right, so they're opening up. That's the that's the outside truth. One of the hidden measures in all of these guys is this. The government's unemployment fund is being depleted because of the record number of people filing for unemployment. So as you open up these states, little by little, these people have to come off unemployment, right. You see, it's a trick, move the game. It's just a game. But they're doing it in places with large metropolis areas occupied by guess who, oh, let me think you we George letting me say, the state of Georgia is Atlanta. Don't don't, don't get it twisted. It's it's the state of Georgia is Atlanta. If you take Atlanta out of here, you got a rural farm land. And that's really the truth that's hearts feel the busiest airport in the country. That like, you're talking about something major here. So once you start doing this, man, you've got to understand what's happening. We cannot be guinea pigs for this man's trial run. This man is showing no regard for human life versus profit. And it's gonna clean up the books, it's gonna easiest. And then the stimulus check that y'all fitting to get that everybody fitting to be real happy to get. You know what you're gonna do. You're gonna take this to the stove and you're gonna spend it and give it right back. And guess what you're gonna pay on that money. You're gonna get their sales tax and guess what, they're gonna get some of that money back. And you're gonna get sick while you're doing all that. And this money that you think they're giving you is your money. It's taxes where you think they get it from. Man, they're not giving you. They're not giving you anything. They're letting you hold some of yours. And if you think that them Republicans ain't gonna let take this back out of Medicare and Social Security programs and any other handouts they can nail this thing on. You better believe that they don't give you money without getting it back. That's not the Republican way. Come on, all right, real talk pandemic. All right, Steve, thank you for that.

She says, I'm a forty seven year old woman and I married a man that's eleven years older than me. We've only been married nine months, and after we got married, I found out he has diabetes and diverticulitis and that causes erectile dysfunctions. I waited until we got married to have sex, and well I'm still waiting. Do you think it's selfish of me to leave him because he's sick and didn't tell me. I took vows for better or for worse, but I did not vow to live the rest of my life without sex. What should I do? Well, he can get some medical attention to help him with this problem here. He's obviously a great guy. He convinced you not to hell sex, probably because y'all used or religion, or but he respects you, or he wants to treat you with respect, and then it turn out to find out he can't do it no way. Diabetes causes e ED and I don't know what it is, she says, she got a divers participilitis of I don't know what that is. I ain't making fun of nobody with it. But first of all, you've got to get the diabetes addressed. There are things you can do to help him along the way. He can go to the doctor and get all of this stuff fixed, but he gonna have to change his diet first. If you can get him to change his diet and go to the doctor, they got some stuff for dudes that's having them problems even with diabetes. Now to diabetes ain't help me. I don't know what this other thing is it got, but you can get some help with medical, but you got to change the diet first. If somebody told me I could change my diet and fix an ed problem by just eating corn. Then I just be eating corn. I don't give it right, you know, he could say, you know, off the husk, you ain't even have to cook it. I eat it raw off the stalk, just to make sure I get all the nutrits. You're not cooking a damn thing out of my corn. Next question, surely Carmen in South Carolina says, my boyfriend and I are in our mid twenties and we've been dating for two years. He treats me like a queen, but he is not motivated to finish college or get a better job. He is content working at the local factory doing hard labor. He works third shift, and when he's coming home, I'm going to work. I'm ready to buy my own home. But he says he wants to marry me and we can buy a home together. My friends say that we're not equally yoked and I should break up with him. What do you think? First of all, skip your friends. Friends don't always give the best advice if you're in your mid twenties. I'm assuming that your friends are somewhere in they mid twenties. What do they know about sticking it out and hanging in there and riding and building a life together. You're in your mid twenties. You got a chance to build. I think what you should do is just slow it down a little bit. Talk to him about future and what's his plans for growth? And now if he has no growth plans, see here's a deal. Every woman should find out what a man's plan is, because if you can't see yourself fitting into that man's plans, then go on with your life, you know, just move on if he has no plans of improving. But he's happy with third shift and he's happy with twenty I don't know what they make hour, twenty some dollars hour. He cool with that, and he ain't got no problem living his life like that. But you want more and he don't. We have a problem. Yeah, And in that regard you, you're not only not equally yoke, you're not going anywhere. If he doesn't describe a future that you like, why would you join in with that future? And you're right, Steve, don't let your friends tell you what to do. Anita and Baton Rouge. Louisiana says, I've been dating a married man since January, so it's fairly new. He said he is separated and living with his aunt, but I don't know if it's true or not. He's been coming by to check on me and love on me while I'm stuck at home, and we do everything besides having sex. He says he won't have sex with me until his divorce is final. He has spent the night at my house and my child knows him as my new boyfriend. Do you think I should tell him to stop coming over until he's divorced. You ain't stopped him this far. I'll finished it when we come back. Well, it's so crazy. Coming up next, we are gonna switch gearson go to the prank phone call, and Steve will finish up his CLO question right after this You're listening show coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after. It's my Strawberry letter for today's subject, she will not take my man from me. Also, we're getting into the prank phone call. But first before we did that, Steve, you wanted to answer your CLLO question the young lady Anita from Baton Rouge. The question a married man. She's dating a married man and she wants to know should she tell him to stop coming over here until after he's divorced. Did she say how old she was? No, she did not. First of all, not having sex. He comes over there, not having sex, he's spending the night, Your child knows him as your new boyfriend. He tells you he's in the process of the divorce, he won't have sex till he's unmarried, and he's living with his aunt. First of all, you need to just check a couple of things out. It's easy to find out if he's really living with his aunt. You need to find that out because if that's a lie, a couple of other things could be lies. So just find out if he's really living with his aunt, and then find out what what stage the divorces in, and find out if that's true. If you're not having sex, you obviously made a decision about it in some regard. But I don't know what to tell you whether you should stop letting him come by now y'all ain't doing nothing, so I don't know what to tell you about that. Congratulations, All right, All right, here we go, y'all brands making new your barbecue, ain't right?

Here it is, baby letter, Thank you nephew. Subject she will not take my man from me. Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a twenty nine year old workaholic and I don't have time to date. So I met my boyfriend on tender We met two years ago and we're good friends until New Year's Eve, when he asked me to be his girlfriend. We hung out early in the evening, but he brought in the New Year with his friends that were in town for the holidays. I felt neglected because he didn't ask me to hang out with him and his friends, but I was happy that we were finally in a monogamous relationship. Around mid January, I felt like he was being shady and still messaging other girls because he had not deleted his tender account. I started checking his phone when he left it around me, and I found out he was texting girls daily, and one girl stood out because she was the ex girlfriend that he told me had broken his heart. By the end of January, I saw messages about how much fun they had on New Year's Eve, and she told him she couldn't wait to be back in town with him. He did tell her he was in a relationship and he was crazy about me, but he kept texting her. She told him she was looking forward to moving back to town, and he told her that she was more than welcome to stay with him until she found an apartment. This broke my heart. He has being the best boyfriend to me, so how can he be planning to move his ex girlfriend in with him. He never flirts with her in the messages, but he's always concerned with how she's doing and if she's getting enough rest and eating properly. This is the stuff that he should only be asking me. I can't say anything to him because I've been snooping. Should I wait around to see if he dumps me? Or should I call the girl and tell her to back off? Please advise? Well, I don't think you should call a girl. I think this is an issue strictly between you and You're a guy. I guess you can call him that. This is a guy who likes to have his cake and eat it too. That's how I see him. That should be a problem for you. I hope it is because he has not made you a priority in his life, starting with how he played you for New Year's Eve. He lied and told you you know that he was gonna be with his boys, with his friends, he said, with his friends. He left you alone on New Year's Eve. And he's been with you for two years, but he's still on tender. I mean, what's he still on tender for? If he if he asked you to be his girlfriend and all that, you felt he was being shady, So you did some snooping and you got to the truth. He is in a relationship with you, but he's inviting his ex to live with him until she finds something. This is his AXT. You know what that can only lead to? Okay, I just don't understand how that's making any sense to anyone, and especially you. I just think he's a piece of work. I think he's not respecting what you guys supposedly have together. I don't think he's respecting that at all. And I don't think you should continue to let him break your heart. He needs to be off tender. He needs to be away from his ex. He needs not to invite her to live with him. He needs to show you more respect. No, you can't wait around and and wait for him to dump you. Uh you know he need you need to do the dumping. If it's any dumping gonna be going on, and I think it probably will because he doesn't know how to treat you. He doesn't deserve you, Steve, this is stupid. Yes, but you're twenty nine, so I'm gonna try to help you out. You're twenty nine year old workaholic. You ain't got time to date. This is just too much. There's too many lines in here. Make no damn, says me. I don't have time to date. So I met my boyfriend on tender. Is that that's the swipe wright swipe level exactly. We met two years ago and we're good friends until New Year's Eve when he asked me to be his girlfriend. On New Year's Eve, he asked you that we hung out early in the evening. Now, what did y'all do that early in the eedy? Because after I asked you to be my girlfriend, I got to ask you to be my girlfriend for a weezer something happened because that old y'all was just good friend. Y'all have him sex somewhere, But then he bought in a New Year with his friends that were in town for the holidays, or all his friends in time. Then I felt neglected because he didn't ask me to hang out with him and his friends. But I was happy that we were finally in a monogamous relationship. Let me ask you something, what in this letter or what happened over the two years or that night New Year's evil made you think you were in a monogamous relationship. But I was happy that we were finally in him and his relationship. Round mid January, I felt like he was being shady. Not mid January, like fifteen days after New Year, So just two weeks after that, you thought he was being shady, but you didn't. But just the same behavior he'd been having for two years. It's just you wasn't his girlfriend, so you ain't paying no attention to it. You thought he was messaging other girls, and he ain't deleted his tender account. I started checking his phone when he left it round and finally he was texting girls all day and one of them stood out because he was his ex girlfriend. Told broke his heart then that. Then January, you saw a message about how much fun they had New Year's Eve. That's why you wasn't damned. He told you his friends is in time, and she told him she couldn't wait to get back in time with him. He did tell her though, he was in a new relationship and he was crazy about me. Wow, you just be trying to find something. You're just looking for something to hang one, he told me then the new relationship, he was crazy about me, but he kept on texting. All right, we'll have part two of your response coming up at twenty three minutes after the hour. Today's Strawberry Letters subject she will not take my man from me. We'll get back into it right after this you're listening show all right, Steve, Come on, Let's recap today's Strawberry letters. She will not take My Man from me is the subject. Twenty nine year old girl met a boyfriend on Tender. They've been good friends for two years to New Year's Eve when he asked her to be his girlfriend. They hung out early in the evening, probably had sex and something, but he bought he Knew Year with his friends who were in town for the holidays. I felt neglected because he ain't asked me to hang out with his friend. But we find out later in the letter that he his ex was in town with his friends. And but she was happy though, because they was finally in a monogamous relationship, even though I think over the two years or New Year's Eve said they were in a monogamous relationship. Then in mid January dressed two weeks later, she felt like she was he was being shady and he was messaging all these other girls, and he didn't delete his Tender account. You started checking his phone when he left in a rhyme and found out he was texting girls every day and one of them was his ex that he said broke his heart. Then by the end of January, she taught his message about how much fun they had on New Year's Even. She told him she couldn't wait to get back in time with it. He did tell her though, now y'all, he was in a new relationship and he was crazy about me, but he kept texting. Then she told him that she was looking forward to moving back to town, and he told her that she was more than welcome to stay with him until she found an apartment. This broke my heart. But let me tell you why I broke her heart. He is being the best boyfriend to me. So how can he be planning to move his ex girlfriend in? Because you don't know the definition of best boyfriend right, See, if he was being the best boyfriend to you, why is his tender accounts still over? Why does he text all these girls every day? Why would he dit you New Year's Eve? After he just became his girlfriend, and he just became your boyfriend that very night he did you for all his friends and her, And then this best boyfriend of yours just told his ex that they can come stay in his apartment until she find a place. So all your knights going over that that's out? So how can he be planning to move his ex girlfriend in with him. Then this was she said, this is po girl. He never flirts with her in the messages. That's because they're talking. I read the damn text that ain't got anything. It's called delete make a sexual connotation. You deleted? But he and then here or the other part did just get worse. He's always concerned about how she's doing and if she's getting enough rest and eating. Probably what? Of course, who who in this show has ever called an X to make sure they're getting enough rest and make sure that they eat? You? Probably? I don't give a damn you choking on chicken bone? Him? I calling you making sure you're getting enough rest. All the sleeping of last night you'll ass gave me. I hope you ass up at night too. I'm sorry personal personal y. This is the stuff that he should only be asking me, but he don't. He don't ask you what you to neat? I can't say anything to him because I've been snoopupid. Here's the dumbest line in the letter. Should I wait around and see if he dumps me? Sister? How does that sound to you? Should I wait around and see if he dumps me when you already. First of all, you are dumped. He's not the best boyfriend. You can do better, and you should. Next stupid line, should I call her and tell her to bad call? How about call him tell him to bad call. But he's not listen to me, sister. He's been doing this for two years. That's why y'all was just good friends and to New Year's Eve. Then on New Year's Eve, just so he could get you, he said, let's be boyfriend and girlfriend in y'all hand sex. And he got up and went out that night with his friends, and you felt neglected. That was just the beginning. That's how your twenty twenty started. You didn't had a rough twenty twenty nine. Asses in quarantine. Yeah, the man for you, But she fit to move back here in the middle of quarantine, going his house. You don't even know if she'd been tested.

I ain't never had a schedule, walker, sit down and normal, watch something all that the TV star and don't watch myself. You don't see you don't watch yourself at all. Let me, let me, let me make this announcement. Family Feud Africa started airing three weeks ago in South Africa and in Ghana.

Family Feud South Africa air at number one and has built on it. It is the highest grossing and highest view TV show in the country. Congratulations, you ain't seen an episode now. My staff over here they have watch parties. They watch it together on zoom and comment, you know, while they at their house. But they don't they watch it on the computer because you can only get it online. But the clips are starting to be released. Lord have mercy. When I started telling y'all about it, it's but because the accents that was going to ask you, did you have a problem with that that I have a problem with? Shouldn't I have a problem with? Readily English? English? Boy? They was laughing so hard at me, Steve, Why are you? Why are you not understanding? Man? Me and this dude got an argument so bad. It's really really some funny stuff. I'll tell y'all how to find the clips tomorrow. Yeah, oh, all right, coming up, it's our last break of the day. It's a break. I was actually waiting on Jay to do it, and we'll have some closing remarks from the one and only Steve Harvey coming up at forty nine minutes after Right after this, you're listening to show here we are the last break of the day. Steve, it's been a good day. Huh yeah, Yeah, it's been a great day, and it's gonna be an even greater one. That's right. That's how you have to look at it. That's definitely a better month if you stand your ass at home. Come on, weight on, god, man, you know, I just I just don't understand. These are my closing remarks too. I just don't understand this rush to urgency to reopen this state in Georgia. I actually love Georgia, man, I love Atlanta. It's such a centralized location. It's got a great heartbeat to it. It's so soulful, man, it's so soulful. But yet it's a down home place. It got a lot of great places you can raise your kids and grandkids, and got a lot of great parks and lakes and fishing and a lot of stuff things I like to do. You know, the trees are just amazing here. Um, Atlanta has this problems just as does every major city, just does this country. You know, we've got drugs, we've got crime, we've got everything that every other metropolis area has. But overall, man, it's it's a great place to live. This Governor Kemp, who has decided to be the first. This is a major state. Georgia is a major state. This ain't Wyoming opening up, or or Montana opening up, or Alaska opening back up. This is a major, major state with a top ten major city at it, you know, And so to rush to open this, I'm just really curious as to the real motivation behind this, and I just can't find the good in it. I'm sorry, I can't. When I think of Atlanta, I think of all these people of a different complexion. That's a great non African American here too. But when I think of all these African Americans, and when I think of the places that he chose to open, barber shop's, beauty shops, salons, tattoo parlor's, bowling alleys, and then we're gonna slowly open restaurants and movie theaters this weekend. In restaurants on Monday, I was really curious, man, are we attempting an experiment here? And Atlanta is going to be the epic center to see how it works? If there's not enough cases, this governor said from his own mouth, I know when I open this up that we're going to get more cases of corona. Excuse me, you said this with your own mouth that if we open this state, we're going to get more cases of corona. Okay, cool, got you, Pardner. So why are we opening it up? Well, they're opening it up because they're gonna test to see if they know how to get a veil on this thing after the spike happens again, and they're gonna use Atlanta. That can be the only reason. Now, the stimulus check that everybody is excited about getting soon, stop being excited about getting your own money back. Whatever check they don't give, whatever check they're gonna give you, I promise you you have paid it in taxes. All they're doing is letting you have some of your money back temporarily. But then you know what, they're gonna give it to you at a time where you so far behind the eight ball you're gonna have to damn they're spend it all immediately. And when you spend it, guess what they're gonna do. They're gonna tax you on it. So guess what's gonna happen to the taxes. You're gonna give it right back. But we're gonna be in a bad position. And now the funds for that they hold in escrow or the funds that set aside for unemployment has been taxing strained so bad that they're predicting that they will be out of those funds shortly because of the millions of people who've had to apply for unemployment. But if you go back to work and open up your shops and all this here, guess where you don't get unemployment no more. So they're gonna get that back, and they just gonna see how it goes. But they're gonna see how I go at the expense of us. Now, I don't think so. I don't think man, that we're that gullible that we're gonna run out this door against our better judgment, because we all know better. We all know that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. How to hell, of all the places in this world, Georgia opens up? Are you kidding me? Georgia is Atlanta partner. Don't get this thing twisted. We ain't famous for nothing else but Atlanta. And so now you're gonna take this and use this as an experiment, just like I heard my boy Ricky Smiley say, I remember the Tuskegee experiment. I remember it old so well. I remember the experiments that they've done over the years using us. Hell, don't you remember the experimental slavery That was a four hundred year experiment. Who did that work out for? Who benefited from that? Now they're gonna send all of these poor people back out in these streets who already it's gonna be suffering. Now, let me explain something else to you that I think it's gonna happen here. You think that the Republican that's set up in this country is gonna give you a stimulus check and not find a way to get it back. You don't think that when this passes over, you don't think that they got to now get their stimulus checks back. So all these set aside programs that they've they've been letting go by, they're gonna get that money back from somewhere. They gonna get it back. Man, they don't give us nothing. The government gives us nothing. They're gonna get all this money back. They're gonna but other programs out. You think your school lunch programmers in trouble, Now watch what happened. You think these schools are depleted and the teachers are underpaid right now and staffed. And you think we don't have computers and enough facilities, watch what's gonna happen. Don't fall for this, Okay, doke man, y'all stay home, stay home, stay safe, protect yourself, protect your family, protect your love ones. If he wants to go out Monday and have a dinner, let him take his ass out and go eat. We stayed at home. Our food better than that. End for all.
